A group of researchers have found the brain cells responsible for the emotional unpleasantness of pain — well, they've at least found them in mice. But the results, published in Science, could help scientists develop new treatments for chronic pain if that same cluster of cells exits in humans.
Scherrer and his team, based at Stanford University, started by zeroing in on the amygdala, a part of the brain that's long been known to be key in regulating emotions. While exposing mice to a quick, painful stimulus — a drop of hot (but not scalding) water on one of their paws — the group, with the help of brain imaging, spotted some neurons that were more active than when the mice weren't dealing with any painful stimuli.
So they mounted a so-called miniscope, about the length of a paperclip, onto the rodents' heads. With these mobile microscopes tracking brain activity, the mice were free to wander their cages and encounter painful stimuli on their own. These stimuli included both uncomfortably hot and cold drops of water, neither of which were extreme enough in temperature to actually hurt the mice. When the critters came into contact with the drops, they withdrew. And the neurons the researchers had flagged earlier? They lit up again — a more concrete clue that pointed to these brain cells as the ones responsible for the unpleasantness the brain associates with pain.
To make sure this brain activity was actually linked to the negative emotions of pain and not just emotions in general, Scherrer and his team drilled down even more. This time, they gave the mice a sweet treat: sugar water. If those same neurons that lit up when the mice touched the hot and cold drops also lit up while the rodents were slurping away, then the team would know they were off-track. But the miniscopes showed nothing.
One last test would help him and his team tie that emotional response to the neurons. They set up a surface divvied up into three invisible sections for the mice. One was uncomfortably hot, another uncomfortably cold and the last was a normal temperature. They let two different groups of mice explore this surface. One group was just a regular control group, but in the second group of mice, the scientists had muted the response of the amygdala neurons they'd flagged in previous portions of the study.
The control mice quickly realized which lane was a comfortable temperature and stuck to it. But the mice with the altered amygdalae, though they still reacted to the hot and cold lanes by pulling their paws away, quickly adjusted and walked about all of the lanes without preference. "Pain was just no longer unpleasant for them," Scherrer says.

Progressive osseous heteroplasia is a disorder in which bone forms within skin and muscle tissue. Bone that forms outside the skeleton is called heterotopic or ectopic bone. In progressive osseous heteroplasia, ectopic bone formation begins in the deep layers of the skin (dermis and subcutaneous fat) and gradually moves into other tissues such as skeletal muscle and tendons. The bony lesions within the skin may be painful and may develop into open sores (ulcers). Over time, joints can become involved, resulting in impaired mobility.
Signs and symptoms of progressive osseous heteroplasia usually become noticeable during infancy. In some affected individuals, however, the disorder may not become evident until later in childhood or in early adulthood.
Progressive osseous heteroplasia is a rare condition. Its exact incidence is unknown.
Progressive osseous heteroplasia is caused by a mutation in the GNAS gene. The GNAS gene provides instructions for making one part of a protein complex called a guanine nucleotide-binding protein, or a G protein.
In a process called signal transduction, G proteins trigger a complex network of signaling pathways that ultimately influence many cell functions. The protein produced from the GNAS gene is believed to play a key role in signaling pathways that help regulate the development of bone (osteogenesis), preventing bony tissue from being produced outside the skeleton.
The GNAS gene mutations that cause progressive osseous heteroplasia disrupt the function of the G protein and impair its ability to regulate osteogenesis. As a result, bony tissue grows outside the skeleton and causes the complications associated with this disorder.
People normally inherit one copy of each gene from their mother and one copy from their father. For most genes, both copies are active, or "turned on," in all cells. For a small subset of genes, however, only one of the two copies is active. For some of these genes, only the copy inherited from a person's father (the paternal copy) is active, while for other genes, only the copy inherited from a person's mother (the maternal copy) is active. These differences in gene activation based on the gene's parent of origin are caused by a phenomenon called genomic imprinting.
The GNAS gene has a complex genomic imprinting pattern. In some cells of the body the maternal copy of the gene is active, while in others the paternal copy is active. Progressive osseous heteroplasia occurs when mutations affect the paternal copy of the gene.

The Wisconsin Educators Risk Management Cooperative (WERMC) is a 66.0301 formed by districts in 2011 to purchase liability, property, and Workers' Compensation insurance, collectively. WERMC members' insurance is not "pooled" which can create adverse selection. Each member is underwritten individually to ensure favorable results. The service "platforms" from the Workers' Compensation insurance company and agent, plus the liability insurance carrier are exceptional and help to reduce costs. Workers' Compensation dividends are very competitive with the long-term goals of the reduction of accidents, Experience Mods, and premiums through a variety of specialized services and risk management best practices.
If you have any questions regarding WERMC membership and its benefits, you may contact us at (608) 663-9032 or by E-Mail.
"In my experience with three different districts, investments I have made in attention to safety have paid off every time with dramatically lower worker comp costs, and that's only the tip of the iceberg in savings. When you consider lost time, personal pain and suffering, replacement and retraining of personnel, and morale issues, the cost of ignoring safety become very large."

'In Revelation 14:9-11 we read this:
Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
For many years, I considered this verse to be one of the verses that most powerfully supported the argument for eternal torment. It seems to very clearly express the eternal torment of those thrown into the lake of fire. However, a deeper investigation produced in me a total reversal of my understanding of this passage, so that I now move it all the way over to the category of Annihilation.
To explain why my understanding changed so dramatically, I would first ask you to consider the phrase "Another one bites the dust". We know what it means: it is a pronouncement that another person just died or was defeated. It does not mean that someone stooped down to take a bite out of the ground. The intended meaning is far different than what is literally expressed. If, 2000 years from now, a translator from another planet is trying to determine the meaning of the Queen song by that same name, what would he conclude? He would probably quickly conclude that the literal meaning is not correct, and would then try to find other uses of that same phrase. In doing so, he could piece together a meaning that makes sense.
With that idea in mind, consider the angels' pronouncement in Revelation 19:3 regarding the destruction of Babylon:
And a second time they said, "Hallelujah! HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER."
In the NASB translation, the phrase 'HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER' is capitalized, as I've shown, to indicate that it is a reference to an Old Testament passage. The referenced passage is Isaiah 34:10. Here is that passage:
Isa 34:8-10  For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of recompense for the cause of Zion. Its streams will be turned into pitch, And its loose earth into brimstone, And its land will become burning pitch. It will not be quenched night or day; Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation it will be desolate; None will pass through it forever and ever.
In this passage, Isaiah is describing the total destruction of Edom. As part of that description, he says that the "its smoke will go up forever".
In reading the remainder of the passage, we understand that Isaiah did not mean it literally – that is, he did not mean that the smoke will never stop rising. How do we know this? Because in the very next verse, he says
But pelican and hedgehog will possess it, And owl and raven will dwell in it; And He will stretch over it the line of desolation And the plumb line of emptiness.
How could those animals possess it if it is still burning an smoking? Obviously, they couldn't. So, we must conclude that Isaiah meant that the fire will burn for a very long time, continuing to smoke until everything is totally destroyed. Eventually, the fires will go out and animals will move in, but the nation of Edom will never recover from this destruction. In regards to the physical conditions that Isaiah describes, this passages clearly teaches the total physical destruction of Edom and that Edom will never physically return. When applying this passage to a spiritual realm, we should then make parallel conclusions about the spiritual realm to which we apply it.
Now, to get back to the Revelations passage, we have clear descriptions that Babylon will be totally destroyed, just like Edom in the Isaiah passage. It therefore becomes easy to consider the angels' words in Revelation as a pronouncement of the total defeat of Babylon. Their assertion 'Hallelujah, HER SMOKE RISES FOREVER' is similar to how we might say, "Hallelujah, another one bites the dust!" That is, it is a pronouncement of the total destruction of Babylon, with a very clear allusion to the language of Isaiah.
Given those two examples as precedence for the use of the concept of 'smoke rising forever', it seems very likely that the third instance where this phrase is used, in reference to people in the lake of fire, is intended is to once again express the concept of total destruction. Hold that thought for a minute.
I now want you to consider the verbs in this passage. Notice that the verb tense changes from present, to future, and then back to present. Why do the verbs change tense like that. The obvious answer is that the angel starts out talking about the present, then talks about the future momentarily, then returns to talking about the present.
What if we introduced capitalization into this passage that was similar the capitalization used in the other passage about the destruction of Babylon? No punctuation was included in the original Greek, so speculations about correct punctuation are valid exercises in translating passages. Consider the passage with this capitalization and structure:
Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
AND THE SMOKE OF THEIR TORMENT GOES UP FOREVER AND EVER
They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
This now reads in a way that is very similar to the passage in Revelation 19 concerning Babylon. With this structure, my reading is that the angel first foretells the fate that will befall those who currently worship the beast. Then, the angel breaks into a pronouncement of their upcoming total destruction. Finally, the angel changes back to the present tense, asserting that unbelievers currently have no rest day or night because of the fate that awaits them.
This interpretation has these merits:
1) It is consistent generally with the rest of Scripture
2) It is consistent specifically with the way the phrase "smoke rises forever" is used in other passages
3) It correctly interprets the tense of the verbs
4) It solves the problem of there being days and nights in hell by applying the last sentence to the present rather than to the future.'

How to Deal with Critical People
Medically reviewed by Scientific Advisory Board — Written by Margarita Tartakovsky, MS on March 16, 2015
Critical people make rude comments, judge our decisions, talk at length about what we're doing wrong or rarely have anything nice to say. One way to deal with them is to stop being with them altogether.
But this isn't easy to do when the critical person is your boss, colleague, family member or your partner's father. In other words, you can't just stop seeing them for the rest of your life. And in some cases you might have to interact with them on a daily basis.
The problem with being around critical people is that they're draining, said Ashley Thorn, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Salt Lake City, Utah. Thorn works with individuals, couples, and families in helping them improve their relationships.
"[W]e can only process so much negative emotion and take so many hits to our self-esteem before we start to become angry, depressed, anxious, etc."
But the good news — and an important fact to remember — is that we always have a choice. "[W]hether or not a person is difficult for us to deal with depends largely on how we choose to react to them," Thorn said.
One choice that doesn't work is getting defensive, even though a) you really want to and b) it feels all-too natural. But this only sparks arguments, she said.
"Critical people are often not aware that they are being critical, because their criticisms are a projection of their own issues onto someone else. So, if they're already unwilling to engage in self-awareness, chances are you lashing out at them is not going to change that."
It's also not helpful to stay silent, she said. That's because a critical person may misinterpret your silence as acceptance, and "criticize even more because they assume they're being helpful."
What is helpful?
Thorn shared these valuable strategies.
Be assertive.
Being assertive means maintaining respect for the other person while standing up for yourself, Thorn said. That is, you don't blame the person or demean them, she said. Instead, you clearly and specifically communicate that their criticism is hurtful to you, or that you don't appreciate it.
The key is to be firm but kind, she said. Thorn likened it to dealing with young kids: To set a limit with a 3-year-old, you don't yell or belittle them. Instead, you're clear and direct, and you can always end with mentioning what they mean to you, she said.
Thorn shared these examples:
Your in-laws won't stop discussing how you and your spouse should handle your finances. You tell them: "I appreciate that you're obviously concerned about our well-being, and that we have you here for support and advice when we need it. Nonetheless, the way we manage our money is really up to us. And we will make our decisions based on what is important to us, and what we feel is best for our family."
Your colleague regularly comments on your clothes. You say: "I understand that you may think what you're saying is funny or in jest. But I want you to know that it is hurtful. And because I want to maintain a good working relationship with you, I'd appreciate if you'd stop making comments about the way I dress."
Your partner keeps telling you that you aren't romantic, you never listen to them and you just don't care. You tell them: "I can see that you're unhappy, and you would like some parts of our relationship to improve. However, when you simply blame me for things, I feel really hurt and hopeless. I really care about you, and would love to talk about ways we could work together to make our relationship more of what we both want."
Back up words with behavior.
"[I]f someone refuses to respect a boundary you've set, it is perfectly acceptable for you to exit the conversation. This is how you back up your verbal requests with action and behavior," Thorn said.
For instance, you're talking to your uncle over the phone. He continues to criticize you, even after you've directly and clearly said that it bothers you. You tell him that you need to go, and then hang up the phone.
You don't scream or slam the phone, Thorn said. You simply take an action (i.e., hanging up) that supports your boundary. (Again, this isn't about being harsh back.)
Give feedback.
"We teach people how to treat us by how we act, what we say, and what we do or do not allow," Thorn said. As such, she suggested letting critical people know what is helpful.
For instance, let's say you open up to a friend about your struggles with parenting, Thorn said. Your friend starts pointing out the things you're doing wrong and sharing their advice. At this point, you let your friend know that this isn't what you're looking for. Instead, you'd appreciate them just listening to you.
In another example, your boss is being critical. According to Thorn, you say: "When you point out all the things I'm doing wrong, I feel devalued and confused. I want to do good work, and what would really help me be more effective is if you could also point out some of the things you think I'm doing well so that I can use those as a gauge for what exactly you're looking for."
Thorn reiterated that giving feedback isn't about blaming the person. Rather, it's about owning your emotion and being specific about what you want from the person, instead of criticism, she said.
Remember you're worthwhile.
Sometimes, it's hard not to internalize the harsh words someone says about us, and to berate ourselves even further. Thorn suggested reminding yourself that you're so much more than what one person says.
Sure, maybe you can improve in some areas. All of us can. (This is simply learning and growing.) And either way you're worthwhile and worthy.
Thorn suggested this additional reminder: "I matter. I don't have to please everyone. It's OK that I'm uncomfortable; it means I'm in tune and receiving information about how I'm feeling."
Take a break from the relationship.
If you've tried to set boundaries and communicate how you feel but the person still disrespects your limits, it might be time to take a break from the relationship, Thorn said.
Of course, this isn't so simple when the critical person is your boss. But, as she said, "It doesn't really matter who the other person is — being constantly criticized can turn into a form of emotional abuse, and it's not OK."
Dealing with critical people is uncomfortable and can trigger doubts about our own worth. Being assertive is a powerful strategy to practice with anyone in our lives. Just remember that you're a valuable person. Each of us has faults. Each of us has room to grow. That's the beauty of being human.

Крещение Болгарии () — процесс распространения христианства в Болгарии, который был инициирован в 864 году.

Болгарская держава образовалась в 681 году на северной границе христианской Византийской империи. Основным населением нового государства стали кочевые болгары, вовлечённые в процесс феодализации, и славяне. Для интеграции общества необходима была идеология унификации. Инициатором крещения стал болгарский князь Борис, принявший имя Михаил. Непосредственным поводом крещения стал голод 863 года, за которым последовало вторжение византийской армии Варды. Условием помощи стало крещение знати, которое осуществил патриарх Фотий. Тем не менее, кочевая аристократия подняла антихристианский мятеж, но потерпела поражение. Князь Борис казнил членов 52 семейств. В числе казнённых был его сын. Князь Борис стал всячески способствовать миссии Кирилла и Мефодия по просвещению славян. В Болгарии была введена кириллическая письменность, началось строительство христианских церквей. Одним из первых значительных святых стал Климент Охридский.

Значение
Русский историк В. Н. Татищев рассматривал крещение Болгарии в контексте общего распространения христианства среди славян. Становление Болгарии христианской страной повлияло на крещение Руси в 988 году.

An unlikely path to victory for Baltimore and the Preakness
By Baltimore Sun Editorial Board
Baltimore Sun |
A settlement between the owners of the Pimlico Race Course and the city of Baltimore to keep the Preakness Stakes from leaving for Laurel Park appears to be with reach. (Patrick Semansky / AP / AP)
For those with only a casual interest in horse racing, the idea that Baltimore might one day claim victory in its race to save the Preakness must seem hard to believe. When last we heard, the city's efforts were looking like a long shot, its lawsuit against The Stronach Group withdrawn in June, the matter left in the hands of negotiators. The owners of the Maryland Jockey Club had waged a years-long campaign of attrition against the city track and clearly intended to move their greatest asset, the second jewel of the Triple Crown included, to Laurel. What hope for Pimlico? Some king's ransom bounty that Baltimore taxpayers could ill afford? The Maryland Stadium Authority's estimated price tag to make Pimlico viable was an astronomical $424 million. With so much acrimony built up, could the two sides even muster a serious conversation?
'Historic' deal aims to keep Preakness in Baltimore; track owner, city reach agreement after 4 months of talks »
And then, out of nowhere, this: a plan. After months of talks, it appears a reasonable compromise is at hand that keeps the Preakness in Baltimore, brings much-needed renovations to Pimlico, allows for additional development of the property (including Sinai Hospital's expansion plans), involves greater community access including athletic fields and use of the club house for special events, and will be paid for chiefly through existing state revenues from gambling. That last point is crucial. Essentially, the plan requires pooling gambling-generated funds like the Racetrack Facility Renewal Account and local impact payments to leverage public and private borrowing. The bottom line? A total of $375 million in renovations with roughly $200 million for Pimlico and $175 million for Laurel. Oh, and all of that disbursement will be overseen by the Maryland Stadium Authority, another vital protection given the Maryland Jockey Club's history with public subsidies.
Gov. Larry Hogan and the Maryland General Assembly will have to approve enabling legislation to make this happen but given the stakes involved — and early endorsements from Baltimore's mayor and county executives in Towson and Annapolis, that seems a reasonable bet. After all, it's not just Pimlico's future but the future of horse racing in Maryland that's at stake.
How a $424 million renovation turned into one less than half that cost is attributed to fundamental changes in what a race track of the future should look like. To put it simply, it means less bricks and mortar and more temporary elements, so-called "overlays" like luxury suites and seating that are built for events and then taken down for the off-season. This is not only less expensive but perhaps better suited to changing public tastes and a greater fondness for open air amenities. There were hints of that last spring when former Jockey Club CEO Joseph DeFrancis opined that a Preakness-worthy Pimlico could be built for half the original MSA estimate. We would say this much for Mr. DeFrancis, he can still handicap a race.
Naturally, there are still questions to be answered. The Stronachs are serious about attracting the highly-lucrative Breeders Cup, for instance, it would be comforting to know that their preference isn't to stage it at Laurel Park. There's also the matter of making sure that this renovation-light approach is sustainable — that the Jockey Club won't be back in Annapolis or at City Hall at some future date expecting some major handout because, once again, the stands are collapsing or the toilets are backed up. And, of course, it means that the legislature will need to commit to keeping the track renewal payments on the books and not allowing the program to sunset. Otherwise, there would not be the means to pay off the 30-year bonds. Given the heated debate over Kirwan Commission funding for K-12 education, things could get sticky.
Still, it's hard not to be filled with optimism that the seemingly impossible task of keeping the Preakness in Baltimore is actually going to happen. That's no small thing. The economic value of the race has been pegged at more than $50 million a year. But it's really bigger than that. How wonderful it has been to see Baltimore host this nationally televised event and see the city at the center of a festive celebration and not merely defending itself from the latest ill-considered White House taunts over whether it's fit for human habitation?
This plan may not be perfect. Officials in Anne Arundel County are likely to be disappointed to not host the Preakness. But then so will Baltimore racing fans as Laurel increasingly becomes the center of racing in the state (it will have the horse stables and the training track). Bowie is likely to lose its training facility but the land may ultimately be donated to nearby Bowie State University. That's what compromise requires, a little bit of give and take.

Saponaria officinalis (Arapka, belozvezdochnik, Carnation White, jasmine field, cockle, mylitsa, soap root, soap grass mylyanka, sustavnik) - herbaceous plant genus Saponaria, the family Caryophyllaceae, applied as an expectorant, a laxative, a diuretic, diaphoretic and cholagogue.
All parts of the plant, especially the rhizomes, contain up to 25% of triterpenic saponins - saponic acid, saporubin, saponaroside (they foam in water like soap, hence the name of the herb), as well as ascorbic acid, pectins, glycoside saponarin.
The roots, in addition, contain tannins, mucus, volatile oil, resins, mineral elements (including manganese, copper, zinc, calcium), carbohydrates (saponarosis, gentiobiosis, oligosaccharides).
Ascorbic acid and flavone tlycoside saponarin are found in the leaves, flavonglycoside in the grass.
Toothache, inflammation of the oral cavity, periodontitis.
Mylnyanka medicinal is a poisonous plant, so drugs based on it must be taken orally with extreme caution. You should not do this on an empty stomach.
It is very important to adhere to the dosage regimen recommended by the doctor, since overdose can cause a noticeable burning sensation of the stomach and intestines, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, cough.
Means improving metabolism: 50 g of roots pour 1 liter of boiling water, boil for 10-15 minutes, insist 10 minutes and strain. Take orally 3 times a day for 2-3 tablespoons.

"EveryTime I Cry" is a song by American singer Ava Max, released on June 8, 2021, through Atlantic Records. The house and electropop song was written by Max, Caroline Pennell, Lauren Aquilina, and producers Cirkut and Sean Myer. It consists of a piano with synthesizers, and lyrics describing the effect of women's empowerment during difficult situations. "EveryTime I Cry" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised the upbeat production. The song peaked at number seven in Poland and at number 99 in the United Kingdom. An accompanying music video was directed by Max and Charlotte Rutherford and depicts the singer on the desert which transforms into a lush landscape with her tears. It was compared to previous music videos by TLC and Shakira.

Background and release
On May 12, 2021, Max uploaded a portion of "EveryTime I Cry" on Twitter. She announced the release date and cover art of the song on June 3, 2021, and stated that it is a "continuation" of her debut studio album, Heaven & Hell (2020). However, she later declared that the song is "a bridge" between Heaven & Hell and her sophomore album, citing the growth of individuals through the difficulties of 2020. "EveryTime I Cry" was released on June 8, 2021, which was accompanied by a lyric video on YouTube. The song was written by Max, Caroline Pennell, Lauren Aquilina, and producers Cirkut and Sean Myer.

Composition and critical reception
"EveryTime I Cry" is a house and electropop song. It opens with synthesizers and uses a piano. The chorus contains house elements and climaxes into a "groovy beat". The lyrics describe the impact of women's empowerment during difficult situations, which consequently allows a person to courageously confront their emotions.

Writing for BroadwayWorld, Sarah Jae Leiber acknowledged that "EveryTime I Cry" is "an undisputed summer smash" and an "adrenaline-fueled track", opining that it is "pure electropop perfection". Carolyn Droke of Uproxx considered the song to be "electrifying". The New York Times writer Jon Caramanica positively compared "EveryTime I Cry" to the discography of Dua Lipa. Shaad D'Souza of Paper described the song as an "undeniably uplifting banger" and positively compared it to Max's 2020 song "My Head & My Heart".

Commercial performance
"EveryTime I Cry" peaked at number seven on the Polish Airplay Top 100 chart dated August 28, 2021. On the Norwegian VG-lista, the song peaked at number 39. In Germany, "EveryTime I Cry" debuted on the Offizielle Deutsche Charts at number 90 on the chart dated August 6, 2021. It peaked at number 58 and remained on the chart for nine weeks. On the UK Singles Chart issued June 18, 2021, the song bowed at the number 99 peak and remained for one week.

Music video
An accompanying music video was released on July 23, 2021, which was directed by Max and Charlotte Rutherford. It depicts Max awakening in an abandoned landscape while appearing injured. She is later seen on top of a tree above a waterfall covered with lily pads, as her tears form an ocean. Uproxx writer Rachel Brodsky compared the visual's computer-generated imagery (CGI) landscapes to the music videos of TLC's 1995 song "Waterfalls" and Shakira's 2001 song "Whenever, Wherever".

Q: Shrinkwrapping floating divs of variable number, width, and height inside another div In order to achieve matching heights of various divs of variable number, width, and height, I am using a jQuery script that requires those divs to be floating.  However, I would like them centered, so I am using the relative position trick to center them.
CSS
div#cardwrap {
border:3px purple solid;
float:left;
position: relative;
left:50%;
}

div#centermaster {
text-align:center;
border:1px yellow solid;
float:left;
position: relative;
left:-50%;
}

div.cardtable {
float:left;
padding:35px;
border:1px green solid;
}

HTML

Images
 (variable number)
        ...

This would work perfectly, except that I can't seem to get the wrapper to shrinkwrap correctly.  Before the images load, it looks fine initially - the yellow wrapper is centering the green divs.  But as the images load, the green divs wrap to the next line, which I do want.  But then, a gap appears on the right so that the yellow div is no longer shrinkwrapping, and thus, not centering, them.  How can I maintain the yellow div matching the width of however many green divs can fit on a row?
Another method to equalize div heights while centering them is also welcome.
(Also are there scripts to equalize widths of certain div class, given variable content?)  Basically, the end goal is center the green divs into a table-like format, while accommodating for both variable screen sizes and content.

A: Not sure what exactly do you want, but I think, that you need inline-blocks here, like this: http://jsfiddle.net/TSpXZ/
To make them work in IE, add the following in the Conditional Comments:
div.cardtable {
    display:inline;
    zoom:1;
}

And try to experiment more with inline-blocks — they are awesome!


Probably my favourite bubble tea of all time. The fact that it has fresh fruit in it just makes it 100 times better! The smoothie itself is the perfect level of sweetness, as to not overpower the natural sweetness of the mango. The drink itself isn't actually a slush. It's actually of a thick smoothie consistency. The tapioca pearls are the perfect texture, without being too hard or overly mushy.
Just a forewarning though, this thing will fill you up like crazy!


Traditional self-help books usually treat you as if you are some sort of computer that can be instantly re-programmed. They give you the impression that your life will be wonderful if you'd just run the 'correct thoughts' through your brain.
Your brain doesn't have one big centralised processor which controls everything like your PC does. Instead your brain is made up of many independent modules - or 'mini brains' - all doing their own independent things.
Many of these modules don't even run on logic or words. So trying to reprogram those modules with words or 'clever phrases' is never going to work if they are causing you problems.
Some of your modules are hidden deep in your unconscious and so you don't normally have access to them. This means you can't re-program them using normal Tools. You'll need the special Tools I've developed over the years to help my elite athletes.


If you're not overly familiar with entitlement management, you're not alone. However, it's a crucial concept for organizations looking to create, sell, or give access to various pieces of intellectual property.
Entitlement management is about securing, distributing and validating the intangibles of our commercial world. Simply put, entitlements represent what a user has rights to, and they're everywhere. Entitlements control what software keys get created to unlock new features. They validate which users can receive updates or support, and they can also record who has installed software on what devices.
When a product or service has been activated, entitlements are updated with device and user details, keys and dates. Determining which users have what, how much they have and when they can use it is important in the centralization of entitlement management. Why? Because it provides a shared view with customers and channels, reduces support calls, lowers the costs of multiple systems and provides 24/7 access to users, amongst other benefits.
Perhaps most importantly, entitlement management offers organizations safety and compliance. It serves a key role in an authentication, authorization and access control application security model, as it authorizes users and confirms what they have, what they can see and what they can do.
Entitlement management also offers safety and compliance to organizations leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT). The hypergrowth of IoT that we're currently experiencing is requiring all hardware and appliance original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to incorporate software, which makes licensing and entitlement management technology key to protecting the intellectual property of these "smart" and connected devices.
Once organizations understand the concept and business value of entitlement management, it behooves them to leverage on-premises or cloud-based software that can manage the thousands of entitlements they generate every day and the commerce those entitlements represent. Software publishers and service providers, in particular, can greatly benefit from such technology, as it can reduce costs, improve quality of service and make products or services available for customers to use in as many ways as possible.
To make it easy for customers to access their orders and properly install their purchases – and for organizations to be able to assign and manage multi-license agreements – entitlement management software should offer the use of multiple license key generators. The software should also be able to manage complex product configurations and initiate support calls to remote or third-party key generators. Additionally, it's important that entitlement management software can generate license authenticity codes for partners, as well as handle batch process activations, re-hosts, upgrades and returns. Finally, the software should be able to manage activation validation rules such as required products, quantities or combinations.
A big benefit of entitlement management software is that it can simplify the process of software upgrades, giving customers a high level of personalized service, while also decreasing support and maintenance costs. Seek out entitlement management software that provides support for complex product mapping and changes during an upgrade process, gives options for targeting individual companies or machines for upgrades and has automatic new key generation. The software should also have the ability to push out critical patches and determine the number of affected customers prior to an upgrade.
As the IoT continues to proliferate our current business landscape, the ability to capture and report on the data generated by "smart" devices will be increasingly critical. Luckily, entitlement management software can collect and report on "smart" device usage. In fact, such software can receive usage information and associate it with individual devices – and it can also connect devices to customers through registration processes. Organizations should implement entitlement management software that can track usage against entitlements, report on usage by devices and customers and support pay-as-you-use and other usage-based business models.
Effective entitlement management software should be able to control access to online resources and downloads and ensure that only entitled customers gain access to restricted files. The software should also provide content producers with a secure way to deliver electronic data via out-of-the-box integration with a leading content delivery network (CDN) provider or via URLand FTP-based downloads. Entitlement management software should also be able to track download initiations and offer the ability to limit the number of times a file is downloaded by any one customer.
Along with flexible usage tracking, reporting is one of the key benefits of entitlement management software. Organizations should implement software that provides detailed insights into which customers are activating which products on what platforms, what is purchased versus deployed, how often products are re-hosted or returned, who is requesting temporary licenses and who is eligible for renewals and upgrades. Entitlement management software should offer the ability to run such reports in real-time and also have the ability to create additional, custom reports. Lastly, the software should have its own, siloed database to ensure its reporting doesn't slow down transaction processing.
Given the continued momentum of the IoT and an increasingly competitive market for software publishers and service providers, now is the time for organizations to prioritize entitlement management and leverage dedicated software to help them do so. Entitlement management software should support the full lifecycle of license and entitlement management functions, including perpetual, term and trial licenses, maintenance and support. It should offer key capabilities including multi-license management, streamlined upgrades, flexible usage tracking, content download control and real-time reporting.
Don't underestimate the power of entitlement management. Having a scalable and robust entitlement management capability is essential for managing and securing pieces of an organization's intellectual property. By leveraging entitlement management software, organizations stand to gain critical business intelligence when and where they need it, giving them the power to reduce production costs and maximize their revenue.

Q: nslookup fails but PowerShell's resolve-dnsname works This is not a domain I have anything to do with, but I don't understand what's going on. The nameservers for sciencedaily.com are:

*

*ns-1414.awsdns-48.org.

*ns-1618.awsdns-10.co.uk.

*ns-300.awsdns-37.com.

*ns-695.awsdns-22.net.

If I run nslookup and type server ns-1414.awsdns-48.org and then sciencedaily.com it returns
*** ns-1414.awsdns-48.org can't find sciencedaily.com: No response from server
But it I run resolve-dnsname sciencedaily.com -server ns-1414.awsdns-48.org in PowerShell it returns the DNS records correctly. What am I missing?

A: It seems server ns-1414.awsdns-48.org is prefering IPv6 over IPv4 due to IPv6 being enabled on the network interface; and it makes nslookup stick with IPv6 for the following request(s). Due to a missing IPv6 connection to the outside world however, that DNS request fails. It seems it works when calling nslookup like nslookup sciencedaily.com ns-1414.awsdns-48.org and as you said when using resolve-dnsname. Usage of IPv6 for the DNS request can also be avoided by looking up the IP(v4) of ns-1414.awsdns-48.org first and do
$ nslookup
> server 205.251.19
> sciencedaily.com

Q: Golang: accessing map object outside the function it was declared in I would like to loop through a slice of structs, and populate a struct field (which is a map) by passing in each struct to a function.
I have the below struct
type thing struct {
    topicThing map[string]int
}

and I have the below functions
func main() {
    ths := make([]thing, 0)
    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
        var th thing
        ths = append(ths, th)
    }

    for _, th := range ths {
        dothing(&th)
    }

    for _, th := range ths {
        fmt.Println(th.topicThing)
    }
}

func dothing(th *thing) {
    tc := make(map[string]int)
    tc["Hello"] = 1
    tc["Bye"] = 2
    th.topicThing = tc
}

The main function creates a slice of things (refered as ths), and passes each thing to the dothing() function by iterating over them.
Within dothing(), I create a new map, populate it with data, and assigns it to the passed in thing's attribute. However, by the time we iterate over ths in the main function to print topicThing of each thing, the map is empty.
Since make() creates objects within the heap, I was hoping it would be accessible even outside of the function scope. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
P.S.
if I change the dothing() function like below:
func dothing(th *thing) {
    th.topicThing["Hello"] = 1
    th.topicThing["Bye"] = 2
}

The code works as expected, meaning the map is populated with data when accessed in the main function.

A: The range copies your object.
So when you do this,
    for _, th := range ths {
        dothing(&th)
    }

you are actually dothing on a copy.
For example, with this main:
func main() {
    ths := make([]thing, 0)
    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
        var th thing
        ths = append(ths, th)
    }

    for _, th := range ths {
        dothing(&th)
        fmt.Println(th.topicThing)
    }

it will print the right thing, since we are still working on the copy.
In order to not copy, use the array index:
    for idx, _ := range ths {
        dothing(&ths[idx])
    }

Arkansas' Frank Ragnow Nominated for Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award
Arkansas' Frank Ragnow is this week's nominee for the 2016 Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award.
Ragnow's father, Jon, died of a heart attack Oct. 1. Ragnow flew to his home in Victoria, Minn., with Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema and his wife, Jen, to be with his family. He returned to Fayetteville last Thursday and played in Saturday's game against No. 1 Alabama, having prepared for the Crimson Tide from home while staying in touch with his teammates and coaches.
"I know this one hurt afterward," Bielema said of Ragnow, according to SECCountry.com. "I had a chance to grab him before he walked off the field. He's a very, very strong kid. An incredible football player. But obviously a really good person and a great son."
Ragnow, a junior, has started 19 straight games for the Razorbacks. He entered this season on the watch list for the Rimington Award after a 2015 campaign that saw him surrender just two sacks on the season while not committing a penalty over the final nine games.
The Courage Award was first presented by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) in 2002. A select group of writers from the FWAA vote on the winner each year. The requirements for nomination include displaying courage on or off the field, including overcoming an injury or physical handicap, preventing a disaster or living through hardship. The winner of the award will be included in festivities during Capital One Orange Bowl week and receive his trophy at an on-field presentation.
Previous winners of the Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award are Miami offensive lineman Hunter Knighton (2015), Duke offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson (2014), San Jose State defensive lineman Anthony Larceval (2013), Clemson wide receiver Daniel Rodriguez (2012), Michigan State offensive lineman Arthur Ray Jr. (2011), Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand (2010), the University of Connecticut football team (2009), Tulsa's Wilson Holloway (2008), Navy's Zerbin Singleton (2007), Clemson's Ray Ray McElrathbey (2006), the Tulane football team (2005), Memphis' Haracio Colen (2004), San Jose State's Neil Parry (2003) and Toledo's William Bratton (2002).

Intersolar North America: 2018 Take Aways | CleanFund Commercial PACE Capital, Inc.
SAUSALITO, CA — It's no surprise that each year San Francisco is chosen to host North America's largest solar conference. The city has built a well-deserved reputation for drawing the world's greatest innovators and nurturing a culture that is continually challenging the status quo.
Every year Intersolar North America attracts thousands of exhibitors and attendees from all over the world to showcase the latest and greatest innovations, but behind the brightly lit batteries and shiny panels, lurks the inevitable question, how will the end custom pay for the latest and greatest in solar technology? Let's face it, new technology is often expensive and therefor out of the reach of the mainstream and in the commercial application, early adopters are sometimes few and far between. From what I heard at the conference, the solar industry has been struggling with the financing challenge since its inception.
During the conference I met Matthias Bank, of Renewables 100, who has attended every Intersolar North America for the last 28 years. When I asked Matthias, "What are some of the challenges that you heard 28 years ago that you're still hearing today?". Without missing a beat Matthias replied, "the energy market said solar wasn't economically feasible at $15 a kW 28 years ago, and today they're still saying it's not economically feasible at 70 cents a kW. When will it ever be economically feasible?".
This is exactly why CleanFund exhibits at Intersolar, because we're dedicated to solving the financing challenge for the solar industry with flexible financing options designed to help the latest solar innovations go mainstream.
Here are the top 5 reasons why SolarPACE helps commercial property owners choose to go solar. We also put together a fun video on the event since there were many interesting exhibits, talks and interactive displays throughout the conference. Enjoy!
Low SolarPACE payments generate free cash flow.
The electricity savings far exceed the annual SolarPACE payment since it is spread over 20 or 30 years, and your customer can either directly or indirectly take advantage of the solar tax benefits. Additionally, the first payment is not due for 6 to 18 months after financing closes. All of this creates immediate positive cash flow from day one.
SolarPACE delivers a higher NPV than other financing options.
SolarPACE typically delivers the highest NPV of any solar acquisition option – better than leases, shorter term loans, PPAs, and even cash sales.
SolarPACE preserves capital and borrowing capacity.
Cash purchases or bank loans are common for businesses who can utilize the solar tax benefits. However, successful businesses often prefer to use their cash or bank credit for further investment in their business or for general working capital instead of tying it up in a solar project.
SolarPACE terms match the long life of a PV system.
With a term of up to 30 years, SolarPACE matches the productive life of a PV system and unlocks steadily increasing net annual savings as utility rates rise. This provides a long-term hedge on electricity costs. Effectively, the property will have discounted electricity for the current or any future owners.
SolarPACE makes things easier in the future.
SolarPACE is billed and paid via property taxes, so there is no extra paperwork or additional bill to manage. If the property is sold, the SolarPACE payment obligation automatically transfers to the new owner, or the SolarPACE financing can be paid off early at any time. In comparison to bank loans, there are no financial covenants or reporting requirements. SolarPACE offers unique flexibility in these areas.
SolarPACE financing can be paid off early at any time. In comparison to bank loans, there are no financial covenants or reporting requirements. SolarPACE offers unique flexibility in these areas.
The key to growing the C&I solar industry, is easy, affordable, flexible financing.


Kep Track is an environmental advocacy blog that promotes walking, biking, and horseback riding as eco-friendly alternatives to driving a motor vehicle. We believe that these low-impact activities help reduce pollution caused by toxic emissions.

Indeed, trails and tracks play a crucial role in preserving the environment by providing a safe and sustainable habitat for native flora and fauna.
Our goal in creating this blog is to raise environmental awareness—particularly how every human action affects Mother Nature. We always have to think about sustainability so that future generations won't be deprived of natural resources that they need to survive.
We regularly post guides, tips, advice, and other informative content that will educate you about caring for the environment as you go walking, hiking, or biking in any trail or track.
If you have any question, comment, or guest post submission (please see our "Write for Us" section for details), feel free to drop us a message via email: info@keptrack.com.au.
Thanks for taking the time to explore our blog!


Due to high local terrain you will not be able to make ground contact until visual with the airfield if your approach is from the east although you may hear other airborne traffic. Make a standard call on 120.800 and if you get no reply please keep any chat to a minimum. If you are approaching and still working Scottish Information on 127.275 they will require a good ETA due to poor coverage. It is advisable to QSY from them with Mull in sight when leaving Oban (in the Lismore Island lighthouse) area while you can still talk to them. If you decide to make an inspection pass then it is entirely at your discretion. Broadcast "going around" and use the sea side fence north of the runway as a fly-by line.

Q: How to create a graph in Apache spark java after loading dataset? I am new to Apache Spark GraphX and I am trying to create a graph using Java. I have a road network EDGE dataset which consists of Edge_id (INT), Source_ID(INT), Destination_ID (INT), and Edge_Length(Double).
I created a class name called EdgeNetwork, which I am using as a JavaRDD type. After creating the RDD of the class, I created a list to store only 3 columns except for the Edge_Id. I then created an RDD of the Edge List. However, when I try to create a graph, I get the error and cannot proceed further.
Is the process correct or not?
package graphXApi;
1. EdgeNetwork.java
import java.io.Serializable;
public class EdgeNetwork implements Serializable {

    private Integer edge_id;
    private Integer src_id;
    private Integer dest_id;
    private Double edge_Length;

    public Integer getEdge_id() {
        return edge_id;
    }

    public void setEdge_id(Integer edge_id) {
        this.edge_id = edge_id;
    }

    public Integer getSrc_id() {
        return src_id;
    }

    public void setSrc_id(Integer src_id) {
        this.src_id = src_id;
    }

    public Integer getDest_id() {
        return dest_id;
    }

    public void setDest_id(Integer dest_id) {
        this.dest_id = dest_id;
    }

    public Double getEdge_Length() {
        return edge_Length;
    }

    public void setEdge_Length(Double edge_Length) {
        this.edge_Length = edge_Length;
    }

}

2. GraphDatasetParsingFile
public class GraphDatasetParsingFile {
    public static <T> void main(String[] args) {
        SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local").setAppName("GraphFileReadClass");
        JavaSparkContext javaSparkContext = new JavaSparkContext(conf);
        ClassTag<String> stringTag = scala.reflect.ClassTag$.MODULE$.apply(String.class);

        JavaRDD<String> textFile = javaSparkContext.textFile("C:\\Users\\Aavash\\Desktop\\SFEdge.txt");

        JavaRDD<EdgeNetwork> edgeFileRDD = textFile.map(line -> {
            String[] parts = line.split(" ");
            EdgeNetwork edgeNet = new EdgeNetwork();
            edgeNet.setEdge_id(Integer.parseInt(parts[0]));
            edgeNet.setSrc_id(Integer.parseInt(parts[1]));
            edgeNet.setDest_id(Integer.parseInt(parts[2]));
            edgeNet.setEdge_Length(Double.parseDouble(parts[3]));
            return edgeNet;
        });

        edgeFileRDD.foreach(edgeInfo -> System.err
                .println("Edge_ID:" + edgeInfo.getEdge_id() + " " + "Source: " + edgeInfo.getSrc_id() + " "
                        + "Destination: " + edgeInfo.getDest_id() + " " + "EdgeLength: " + edgeInfo.getEdge_Length()));

        JavaRDD<EdgeNetwork> edgesPart = textFile.mapPartitions(p -> {
            ArrayList<EdgeNetwork> edgeList = new ArrayList<EdgeNetwork>();
            while (p.hasNext()) {
                String[] parts = p.next().split(" ");
                EdgeNetwork edgeNet = new EdgeNetwork();
                edgeNet.setEdge_id(Integer.parseInt(parts[0]));
                edgeNet.setSrc_id(Integer.parseInt(parts[1]));
                edgeNet.setDest_id(Integer.parseInt(parts[2]));
                edgeNet.setEdge_Length(Double.parseDouble(parts[3]));
                edgeList.add(edgeNet);

            }
            return edgeList.iterator();
        });
        edgesPart.foreach(edgeInfo -> System.out
                .println("Edge_ID:" + edgeInfo.getEdge_id() + " " + "Source: " + edgeInfo.getSrc_id() + " "
                        + "Destination: " + edgeInfo.getDest_id() + " " + "EdgeLength: " + edgeInfo.getEdge_Length()));

        List<Edge<Integer>> edges = new ArrayList<Edge<Integer>>();
        edgesPart.foreach(edge -> {
            Collection<? extends Edge<Integer>> collection = (Collection<? extends Edge<Integer>>) new Edge<Double>(
                    edge.getSrc_id(), edge.getDest_id(), edge.getEdge_Length());
            edges.addAll(collection);
        });
        JavaRDD<Edge<Integer>> edgesRDD1 = javaSparkContext.parallelize(edges);

In his 2016 lecture at Rollins, artist Trevor Paglen noted that making art is having a conversation with all the people around you, as well as with all other artists who have made images through the centuries. The multi-faceted lens of art helps us make sense of our history, the world we live in, and how it could be different.
Featuring a mixture of collection favorites, works that have not been on view in a long time, and debuting new acquisitions, The Place as Metaphor builds conversations around ways of seeing. The works selected for this exhibition illustrate the notion of "place" in its varied definitions.

The release of the House Intelligence Committee memo summarizing FBI abuses of its surveillance authority sparked differing reactions across the political spectrum. The gist of the Agency's crime is that top FBI officials knowingly used an unverified dossier created at the behest of the Democratic National Committee to dupe a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge into issuing a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
Despite polls showing that 70% of those who saw or heard President Trump's State-of-the-Union speech approved of it, the media talking heads at MSNBC roundly panned it.
The House Minority Leader is one of the richest members of Congress with a net worth estimated at over $190 million.
