The battleground called centromeres
Genetic elements could hold insights into how new species evolve
January 16, 2003 • By BARBARA BERG

Self-help books and human resources staff often herald conflict management as a way to achieve personal satisfaction and workplace productivity.
But research suggests that nature takes a more positive view of discord. In fact, according to Basic Sciences Division investigators, conflict may be the driving force behind what Darwin described as the "mystery of mysteries": how new species evolve.
The sources of this turmoil are parts of chromosomes, known as centromeres, whose importance in ensuring accurate partitioning of genetic material during cell division was recognized more than a century ago.
Now, work from postdoc Dr. Harmit Malik and Dr. Steven Henikoff suggests that these genetic elements also represent "battlegrounds" of struggles among chromosomes vying for evolutionary dominance.
They propose that this newly discovered "survival of the fittest" function may explain the mysterious yet remarkably general evolutionary phenomenon of hybrid sterility, which occurs in the progeny of different species. Organisms such as the mule, the infertile offspring of a horse and donkey, exemplify the condition.
Chromosomal midsections
As early as 1880, centromeres (from the Greek for centro, or middle, and mere, or part) caught the attention of cell biologists, who observed images of newly duplicated chromosomes separating as one cell becomes two. These classic pictures revealed spaghetti-like chromosomes being tugged apart at their midsections - or centromeres - during cell division.
Scientists now know that these focal points (not always located at the middle of chromosomes) serve as attachment sites for the fibers that pull chromosomes apart. Unlike a gene, which is a stretch of DNA that contains the code to make a protein, centromeres serve only as structural platforms to anchor proteins involved in chromosome segregation.
Despite centromeres' importance in cell division, their analysis has lagged behind other parts of the genome since they are composed of segments of DNA repeated multiple times. Because repetitive DNA is difficult to sequence, centromeres are one of the few unsequenced portions of the human genome, which has led Henikoff to liken them to the chromosomal equivalent of "black holes."
Henikoff said that scientists have long been puzzled by the fact that centromeres differ so significantly among all organisms yet still manage to perform the identical function in chromosome segregation that is critical to life.
"The mystery has been, why is there so much complexity for a common essential function?" said the Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.
The first clue emerged from a study led by Malik, published in 2001, of a protein that binds to centromeres.
Chromosomal DNA in all organisms, both the parts that contain genes and those that do not, is wrapped around proteins known as histones. While most DNA coils around a common pool of histones, one type of histone at centromeres - known in fruit flies as Cid proteins - is unique.
Because of their ubiquitous role in nature, the common histones from all organisms are virtually identical. Yet when Malik compared the centromere-specific Cid proteins from distinct species of fruit flies, he found more differences in Cid from two closely related species of fruit flies than are found among the common histones from all plants and animals.
"All the differences in Cid were in the part of the protein that specifies the DNA to which the histone will bind," he said. "This suggested a simple solution to an old paradox: how does the rapidly evolving centromeric DNA continue to correctly assemble the well-conserved machinery that pulls the chromosomes apart? It appeared that the Cid proteins were acting as adaptors between the two."
Though these results explained how the variable centromeres perform a common role, still a mystery was the force that drives the changes in centromere DNA to be adopted in the first place.
For that explanation, researchers looked toward the process that occurs during egg formation. In many organisms, including humans, eggs are produced as the result of a cell that undergoes two divisions to generate four cells, three of which are destroyed. The remaining cell develops into an egg capable of being fertilized.
Malik and Henikoff speculate that an intense competition occurs between each of the four potential eggs' chromosomes. The centromeres most adept at correctly positioning their chromosomes win the battle and end up in the egg cell, instead of being destroyed. These victorious centromeres thus ensure their own evolutionary survival, much like selfish parasites do to persist in their hosts.
For this reason, Henikoff describes centromeres as "old battlegrounds," whose complexity is derived from this conflict.
Big effects on reproduction
Centromere evolution has big effects on reproduction. Bringing together egg and sperm with incompatible centromere/Cid pairs could impact the ability of the hybrid to produce reproductive cells of its own, as Cid proteins contributed by sperm would be unable to bind to the centromere from the egg, or vice-versa.
Their hypothesis provides the simplest explanation to date for how newly evolved species become genetically incompatible, meaning that offspring produced by their mating are sterile. Such "reproductive isolation" is the very definition of new species.
"Our idea is that, as a consequence of centromere evolution, you'll get reproductive isolation," Henikoff said.
Malik plans to test their hypothesis by observing the offspring produced by mating two species of fruit flies.
"Typically, one sex of the offspring produced by such mating would be sterile and often one sex is inviable (incapable of survival)," he said. "But with the right combination of centromere DNA and Cid, the defects could be repaired.
"Most interesting is that we see the same phenomenon in plants, which have evolved completely independently from animals. It would be remarkable if competition between chromosomes were the most important driving force for the amazing diversity of flora and fauna that we see on the planet."
Whoever said conflict is never constructive?

NEWTOWN, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) — For the third day this week, funerals and wakes were being held for victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Family and friends gathered in Stratford, Conn. Wednesday morning to say goodbye to teacher Vicki Soto. The 27-year-old has been hailed as a hero for dying while trying to shield her students, some of whom managed to escape.
1010 WINS' Al Jones reports https://newyork.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14578484/2012/12/soto-3-jones-w39-soc-bgibbons.mp3
"She's probably going to be remembered forever for this," said Soto's cousin, Robert Natos. "It's unfortunate, but hopefully her life can stand as a monument to all of us."
Though details of the teacher's death remain fuzzy, Soto's family was told by police that she was attempting to get the class into a closet when the gunman entered the room. He shot her as she dove in front of a group of kids to shield them.
"She died saving kids, so it gives meaning to her life and it gives meaning to her cause and be what you wanted a teacher to do in that situation — save my kid," said family friend Jancee Pust-Marcone.

Cameras were not allowed inside the church, which was filled. An overflow crowd also sat out front. Friends, family, acquaintances and total strangers gathered at the site. For some, it was too much.
"I can't go in there; I can't — knowing that it could've been my daughter or my grandchildren. It's just overwhelming," Mary Ann Litchenberger told CBS 2's Lou Young.
At her funeral, family friend Paul Simon sang one of Soto's favorite songs. Mourners wore green ribbons, Soto's favorite color and the color of Sandy Hook Elementary.
"She put those children first. That's all she ever talked about," said friend Andrea Crowell. "She wanted to do her best for them, to teach them something new every day."
Soto's mother, Donna Soto, said her daughter wanted to become a teacher since she was 3 years old.

"She was just the best, best person," she said. "She loved her family more than anything. Teaching and family was her life."
At the same time as Soto's service, mourners gathered in Newtown for the funeral of 7-year-old Daniel Barden.
Hundreds of firefighters formed a long blue line outside St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church as bells sounded and bagpipes played. Daniel wanted to join their ranks one day, and many came from New York, where his family has relatives who are firefighters.
The gap-toothed redhead was the youngest of three children. His family described him as "always smiling, unfailingly polite, incredibly affectionate, fair and so thoughtful towards others, imaginative in play, both intelligent and articulate in conversation: in all, a constant source of laughter and joy."

Family friend Laura Stamberg, whose husband plays in a band with Daniel's father, Mark, said Daniel was a thoughtful boy who held doors for people and would sit with another child if he saw one sitting alone.
She said that on the morning of the shooting, Mark Barden played a game with his son and taught him a Christmas song on the piano.
"They played foosball and then he taught him the song and then he walked him to the bus and that was their last morning together," Stamberg said.
Funeral services were also held Wednesday for students Charlotte Bacon and Caroline Previdi.

A wake was also held for popular 47-year-old principal Dawn Hochsprung. She and school psychologist Mary Sherlach rushed toward the gunman in an attempt to stop him and paid with their lives.

AAA Tests Shine High-Beam on Headlight Limitations
Tests show headlights lights may fail to safely illuminate dark roadways
ORLANDO, Fla., (May 13, 2015) – New test results from AAA reveal the potential for significant headlight shortcomings when traveling on roadways that lack overhead lighting, typically America's rural roads, which account for 40 percent of vehicle miles traveled annually. To assess headlight capabilities and limitations and learn what, if any, advantage advanced headlight technologies offer, AAA compared the performance of halogen, high intensity discharge (HID) and light emitting diode (LED) headlights. AAA's test results suggest that halogen headlights, found in over 80 percent of vehicles on the road today, may fail to safely illuminate unlit roadways at speeds as low as 40 mph.
The testing, conducted with the Automobile Club of Southern California's Automotive Research Center, measured the distances at which modern headlights illuminate non-reflective objects on both low-beam and high-beam settings. These findings, paired with guidelines issued by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, indicate that when traveling on unlit roadways, today's headlights fail to light the full distance necessary for a driver to detect an object or obstacle in the roadway, react and come to a complete stop.
"AAA's test results reveal that headlights found in U.S. vehicles fall short on safety," said Megan McKernan, manager of the Automobile Club of Southern California's Automotive Research Center. "By failing to properly light roadways at moderate speeds, a pedestrian or animal may not become visible to a driver until it's too late to stop."
While high-beam settings on halogen headlights improved sight distances by 28 percent at the testing facility, in real-world conditions they may only provide enough light to safely stop at speeds of up to 48 mph, leaving drivers vulnerable at highway speeds. Despite the clear need for the additional visibility that high-beams offer, particularly on unlit roads, a recent AAA survey found that only a third of Americans admit to using these settings regularly.
Additional testing found that while the advanced headlight technology found in HID and LED headlights illuminated dark roadways 25 percent further than their halogen counter parts, they still may fail to fully illuminate roadways at speeds greater than 45 mph. High-beam settings on these advanced headlights offered significant improvement over low-beam settings, lighting distances of up to 500 feet (equal to 55 mph). Despite the increase, even the most advanced headlights fall 60 percent short of the sight distances that the full light of day provides.
"While it's encouraging to see the safety benefit that newer headlight technology offers to drivers, there's still room for improvement," said John Nielsen, AAA's managing director, Automotive Engineering and Repair. "Unlike the more advanced headlight technology available in European vehicles, current government regulations limit the light output for vehicles sold in the United States. AAA looks forward to working with U.S. policy makers to ensure federal regulations keep up with changing technology."
In addition to testing low-beam and high-beam headlight performance, AAA tested the effect that deteriorated headlight lenses have on light intensity and glare. The protective coating used on the plastics of modern lenses can slowly deteriorate and cloud after about five years, reducing light output and increasing light scatter which results in glare for other drivers. The testing found that restoring headlights doubles the maximum light intensity and reduces glare-producing light scatter by up to 60 percent. Yet, according to a recent AAA survey, only 20 percent of Americans have performed this service.
"Deteriorated or dirty headlight lenses are not just an aesthetic issue," warned Nielsen. "An annual service on older vehicles will increase your nighttime visibility and minimize distracting glare for fellow drivers."

Q: How would I get only the numbers from excel How would I extract all the numbers from a cell, so for example A1 cell contains: "AA59" I would like the formula to extract 59 and ignore AA. I can use =if(right(A1),2) formula but if A1 contains value AA5 then it will select last two characters (which is A5), so this is wrong?

A: Here is a native worksheet formula solution. It's a little inelegant compared to a VBA user-defined-function, but is a standard (non-array) formula and looks more complex than it actually is.

The formula in B21 is,
=MID(A1, MIN(INDEX(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1)))+((CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1))<48)+(CODE(MID(UPPER(A1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1))>57))*1E+99,,)), 99)

Fill down as necessary. Wrap the whole thing in a VALUE(...) function or precede MID with a double unary (aka double minus or --) to convert the text to a true number.

A: As an alternative, consider the Array Formula:
=--MID(SUMPRODUCT(--MID("01"&A1,SMALL((ROW($1:$300)-1)*ISNUMBER(-MID("01"&A1,ROW($1:$300),1)),ROW($1:$300))+1,1),10^(300-ROW($1:$300))),2,300)

to extract digits from a mixed cell:

Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key.

A: If you are always trying to get a single or double digit number from the end of the string try this version:
=LOOKUP(100,RIGHT(A2,{1,2})+0)

A: try this macro
Function RakamCikart(Txt As String) As String
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
.Global = True
.Pattern = "[0-9]"
RakamCikart = .Replace(Txt, "")

The Xuanjin Bridge () is a historic stone arch bridge over the moat of the Ming Palace in Qinhuai District, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

History
Xuanjin Bridge was originally built between 1368 and 1398 during the Hongwu Emperor's reign of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). The bridge is  long and  wide with three arches. In the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), due to the naming taboo of "Xuan" (Kangxi Emperor's bornname "Xuanye"), its name was changed to "Yuanjin Bridge" ().

In December 2011, it was classified as a provincial cultural relic preservation organ by the Government of Jiangsu.

Turner Field was the home of the Atlanta Braves of the National League. It was built originally for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. Essentially, they built a baseball stadium and then extended the grandstand out to encompass the track and field facilities. Aerial views made it look like an oval stadium with a strange growth at one corner.
When the Olympics were over, the temporary grandstand was torn down and the stadium enclosed for baseball. The ballpark presents a nice view of downtown Atlanta in the distance. Turner Field is a nice ballpark and provides everything you would need from a modern ballpark; good sight lines, excellent amenities, easy access, luxury boxes to bring in the big bucks, but for all of that it feels very generic.
If the 1960s and 1970s gave us the "Big Ashtray" version of the cookie-cutter ballpark, then Turner Field is the new generation's version. Camden has the warehouse, Coors has the mountains, TBIA has Lone Stars and Texas imagery coming at you from every direction. Turner Field has nothing that makes you say, "Hey, this is the home of the Atlanta Braves." It's nice. It's comfortable. It just isn't very interesting.
As the home of the Braves, Turner Field only survived only 20 seasons before the Braves moved to SunTrust Park in the Atlanta suburbs. Turner Field has been converted into a college football stadium, it's 3rd configuration in less than 25 years.
Where They Played Before
Atlanta Fulton County Stadium
The site of the old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium was turned into a big parking lot, but landmarks were left behind. The retaining wall of the big round stadium was left to separate the lot into two levels, home plate remains, the infield is marked out in brick, and best of all, the portion of outfield fence over which Hank Aaron hit historic home run #715 still stands (you can see it in the picture above in distant left-center field). Well done, Atlanta Braves, for leaving some history in place.


The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have recently started working together on the creation of a new cryptocurrency، Crypto IQ website reported.
The Emirate News Agency، an official news arm of the UAE، announced that the executive committee of the Saudi-Emirati Coordination Council held a 16-member meeting between the two countries to discuss the "Strategy of Resolve،" a seven plan initiative.
While the initiative includes a variety of goals، the development of a cross-border cryptocurrency is one of them. This cryptocurrency will not be similar to Bitcoin.
It will be solely used by banks to make cross-border payments. The aim of the cryptocurrency is for both nations to learn more about blockchain technology، cryptocurrencies، and enable cross border payments.
The initiative seems like an avenue for both countries — which have previously expressed pro-blockchain and pro-cryptocurrency sentiments — to explore the actual implementation of a cryptocurrency and the underlying blockchain system.
While this appears to be a testing of the waters rather than full-scale adoption، it demonstrates an ongoing commitment to improving national infrastructure through the benefits offered by distributed ledger technology.

Caenorhabditis. elegans is a small, transparent, free-living roundworm with an adult length of about 1 mm. They are easy to maintain in the laboratory and have a relatively short life cycle. C. elegans has a fully sequenced genome and is therefore a pioneer in genetic techniques such as genetic mapping, fluorescent protein expression and RNA interference. It also has a variety of mechanically sensitive neurons and responds to mechanical stimuli by changing the crawling direction, making it useful for mechanobiology research.
Due to the advantages of these characteristics, the nematode C. elegans has been widely used as a tool to solve basic problems in developmental biology, neurobiology and behavior.
Challenges in Caenorhabditis Elegans Research
It requires manual execution of many steps and is very time-consuming.
In some cases, manually selecting worms can take hours, reducing efficiency and throughput.
It depends on the skill of the operator, so it increases the risk of cross-contamination and reduces the repeatability of the experiment.
The measurement value is usually read from the overall average. The difference between worms may affect the average response.
C. Elegans Research in Microfluidic Devices
"Microfluidics" provides solutions for routine laboratory procedures and experiments for specific cases. Alfa Chemistry has accumulated many years of experience in the design and manufacture of PDMS biochips for C. elegans research. Please contact us to discuss your research project on C. elegans.
Microfluidic Devices Based on Microchannels
Microchannel technology is the most basic and most commonly used technology in the study of nematode microfluidics. Biocompatible PDMS biochips are usually used to produce microchannels, which are suitable for the treatment and cultivation of C. elegans.
The use of soft microlithography technology can easily produce complex microchannels integrating multiple functional units for fixation, culture, controllable stimulation, observation, screening and imaging of C. elegans. Microporous technology can be used to fix nematodes to study their internal structure and take high-resolution images, and the ability of high-throughput screening increases with the number of channels.

(B) Microfluidic device consisting of an inlet, a flow velocity generator and a center chamber for the injection of C. elegans. (C)The device with the eight-channel chip, which had an additional side channel. (D) The device containing 64 sinusoidal worm channels and 15 control channels. (Zhang X. J, et al. 2021)
The droplet microfluidic chip is a new technology platform in biological research, which has been widely used in the research of Caenorhabditis elegans in recent years. The unique micro-size characteristics of the droplets match the size of the nematode. With the flexible design and large-scale integration of the chip, the droplet microfluidic device can be used as a microreactor to achieve rapid mixing, which is suitable for high-throughput and high-content drug screening.
L1 worms are small and flexible, making them difficult to study. Heat-sensitive hydrogel droplets can be used to wrap L1 nematodes, and the state of the hydrogel can be changed by increasing/decreasing the temperature to control the rash movement and fixation of C. elegans. We use microfluidic chips for generation, storage, and fixation to capture images and classify droplets that wrap individual worms.

In addition to manipulating individual nematodes for precise stimulation, more and more research is also focusing on designing droplet arrays to improve experimental throughput. There have been many studies using droplet arrays to detect the behavioral characteristics of C. elegans.

With the melting of snow and the first green starting to appear, you may be considering what you wish to do with your landscape this spring. Boost your curb appeal and even the value of your home with some of these up-to-date 2018 tips and trends for your KC lawn care.
What is trending for the outdoor aesthetic often reflects that of the interior, and this year it holds true. Trends this year are all promoting and encouraging a healthier lifestyle.
With its recent increased popularity, mindfulness practices and meditation are activities that people are looking to facilitate more and more. This trend is becoming a great addition to any setting. From including meditative spaces in the home to offering them in the workplace, a garden retreat could be the perfect addition to your landscaping space anywhere. These often included seating areas and landscaping features that provide privacy, allowing for peace and quiet during meditation or even yoga practice.
Incorporating water elements within your landscape that resemble those that are naturally occurring can provide many relaxing benefits as well as natural beauty. A trickling waterfall or fountain feature or a serene shallow reflection pool would be great additions to easily boost your landscape from drab to dazzling.
A simple and trendy solution to a lack of space for your gardening desires is a garden wall. Instead of requiring horizontal space, these types of gardens mostly require the space to be vertical. Garden walls use pots and containers to facilitate the vertical growth of whatever you may choose to plant. These are especially popular this year with their often modern designs and allowance for urban gardens and landscape. They can be installed on virtually any vertical surface from a DIY pallet wall to a surface in your kitchen. This offers a great way to merge style and functionality into your landscaping and KC lawn care needs.
As of 2018, nearly 70% of Americans own a pet, 60% of those owning dogs and 47% including cats. All things considered, it is no surprise that landscaping trends are going further to consider the comfort and needs of our furry friends. Landscaping-specific to the needs of your family pet could incorporate fenced spaces where dogs or cats can play or even pet-friendly plant species.
One plant family that has been especially in style is the succulent-cacti family. These types of plants require minimal care and come in such a variety to be a perfect fit for any garden or landscape. While succulents are often misconstrued to be lacking in color, there are actually many strikingly colorful blooming species that can add an essential pop to your garden.
Consult By The Blade, a Kansas City lawn care company, today for all your landscaping desires this spring!

Using firm-level weekly closing stock prices of Nigerian firms, this study gives a new insight into the possible asymmetry in exchange rate and stock prices relationship. The Linear ARDL (Pesaran et al., 2001) and Non-Linear ARDL (Shin et al., 2014) framework are adapted into panel data form to explore the responses of stock prices to exchange rate movements. Exchange rate is measured using Naira exchange value to US Dollar for the main analysis while Naira to Britain Pound Sterling is used for robustness check. Findings from the empirical analyses suggest that the relationship between exchange rate and stock prices is largely symmetry for most of the firms, except those in few sectors like conglomerates, consumer goods and financial services. Thus, this result supports empirical arguments that exposure of stock prices of firms in developing countries to exchange rate is identical in the long-run regardless of whether the domestic currency appreciates or depreciates.

"Applying Adverse Childhood Experiences to Fatality Review and Prevention"
Childhood experiences, both positive and negative, can have a significant impact on the lifelong health and opportunity of individuals and families. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study links risky health behaviors, chronic health conditions, low life potential and early death to events occurring in childhood. ACEs are a public health issue that can be prevented. Applying the ACEs framework to fetal, infant and child death review helps to identify and target unique prevention opportunities.


Our carefully curated collaborative workflow is designed to keep the planning, design and production of your event on track, on time and with as little worry and stress on your end as possible. We are your event designer and general contractor!
We begin with a complimentary consultation with you so we can get to know each other and determine that we are a good fit to work together. We take only a limited number of projects a year to preserve the quality of our client experience; therefore, this process is crucial to us.
Should we both decide to move forward, we will draw up our agreement outlining our process and pricing structure tailored to your needs.
As soon as we receive the signed agreement and retainer from you we begin planning and designing your event right away. You will complete our tailored design survey so we can understand the scope of your event and determine your event goals and challenges while we initiate the design process.
tailored proposals, complete with economical, mid-level, and high-end options supporting the overall vision and event goals.
We create a detailed design plan and schedule your design presentation no later than 4 months prior to your event date. Also at this time we review with you each line item of the proposed budget, and detail all design proposals and event contracts for your approval.
Transparency and honesty is paramount to our relationship with you so each proposal and contract that you receive is directly from your creative vendors (floral designer, rental company, lighting company etc).
Four months from your event date, you will approve the design plan and proposed budget and we will enter into production. At this time you will sign any remaining vendor contracts, remit deposits to each creative vendor. As production is under way, we place orders and finalize proposals with your selections made during the design presentation. Your team of vendors reserves inventory and builds custom installations drawn up in the design phase. This is where your event comes to life!
Approximately two months prior to your event our team creates and distributes a detailed production schedule timeline to each member of your creative team and we draft a thorough, by–the-minute run of show for you and your guests. We also troubleshoot logistics and secure any necessary permitting and security for your event at this time.
Thirty days prior to your event, our staffing needs are finalized that will be on site for your event, overseeing all logistics and timing of the day.

Q: How to assert if two vectors are equal in CppUnitTest framework I am trying to assert 2-D vectors as shown below
TEST_METHOD(TestCase1)
{
    std::vector<int> arr{2};
    int sum{ 2 };
    std::vector<std::vector<int>> subsets;
    std::vector<std::vector<int>> expected{ {2} };
    generate_subsets(subsets, arr, sum);
    Assert::AreEqual<std::vector<std::vector<int>>>(subsets, expected);
}

But it shows an error as below
Error - C2338 Test writer must define specialization of ToString<const Q& q> for your class class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > __cdecl Microsoft::VisualStudio::CppUnitTestFramework::ToString<class std::vector<class std::vector<int,class…

Any suggestion would be of great help.

A: Assert::AreEqual wants to convert the values to std::wstring for display in case of failure i.e:
Assert failed. Expected:<some value> Actual:<some other value>

the compiler complains because there is no built in conversion for the type you're using.
A quick fix would be to use Assert::IsTrue instead, since it won't try to convert the values to strings:
Assert::IsTrue(subsets == expected, L"Unexpected value for <subsets>);

If you are going to be comparing these types a lot and want Assert::AreEqual to show the actual values when a test fails, then you can do what the compile message suggests and create a ToString override for that specific type:
#include <CppUnitTestAssert.h>

namespace Microsoft {
    namespace VisualStudio {
        namespace CppUnitTestFramework {
            template<> static inline std::wstring ToString(const std::vector<std::vector<int>> &object)
            {
                // Insert some code here to convert <object> to wstring
                return std::wstring();
            }
        }
    }
}

Human "Scapegoats" and The "Sacred" Narratives of Racism
Kitty Millet April 2018
Returning to his native Warsaw in 1979, and for the first time in his tenure as pope, Pope John Paul II was met by thousands of Poles. As the crowds thronged Warsaw, hoping to to hear him say "mass", the Pope "spoke openly on such sensitive themes as human rights, freedom of conscience and the church's ancient role in the state." [1] Such openness signaled to his listeners that the modern phenomenon of communism could not detach Poles from their "ancient" Christian history.
To the Pope's assertion that "Christ cannot be kept out of the history of man in any part of the globe", the crowd responded with chants of "We want God."[2] In the West, the papal visit was a watershed moment in which the dismantling of the Soviet Union and its client states could be imagined not only as an autonomous nation-state, but also as subjects with the "shared sense" and values of the Christian and democratic West.
When Donald Trump visited Poland on July 6, 2017, he recalled that 1979 event, but he focused on "[A] million Polish people" who "did not ask for wealth. They did not ask for privilege. Instead, one million Poles sang three simple words: 'We Want God'".[3] He noted that "every communist in Warsaw must have known that their oppressive system would soon come crashing down". This simple shift in focus, from "communism" to "communist", suggested that Poland's suffering was produced by foreign agents, illegitimately present and occupying Poland. Although Poles had been victimized by these intruders, who had intended to destroy their "faith" and their "identity . . . indeed the very essence of your culture and your humanity", Christian Poles had prevailed against them. These agents were not Christian Poles, but Others and their historical tenure in the land had come to an end because Poles "want God".
He framed his comments in relation to the site at which he spoke, the Monument of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. The Poles had suffered "under a double occupation"; they had "endured evils beyond description". Since Trump was the first American president to not speak at the Warsaw Ghetto Monument, his reference underscored that Poles were the Nazis' real victims; they would gain political autonomy, "freedom and safety", through a homogeneous, Christian, white world.
On November 11, 2017, Poles took to the streets again. The Wall Street Journal reported that "tens of thousands of Poles . . . marched across downtown Warsaw" in an "independence-day procession organized by the nationalist youth movement" the National Radical Camp and cosponsored by All Polish Youth.[4] People carried banners, with the slogans, "White Europe", "Europe Will Be White Again", and "Clean Blood". They came from all over Europe, especially from those countries whose histories of fascism had been particularly virulent during the Nazi Reich.[5] Although the "procession" included many people who did not belong to a "neo-fascist or racist organization", they were "fine with it . . . just happy to be here".[6]
The rally's banners, celebrated attacks on Jews, and encouraged marchers to "Pray for Islamic Holocaust". The Radical Camp's social media sites linked the "influx of Syrian refugees into Europe" to "a conspiracy driven by Jewish financiers, who are working with Communists" as The Wall Street Journal reporter explained. Interspersed among these banners, participants chanted "We want God" throughout Warsaw. When asked, they proclaimed they were quoting Trump. Both Jews and Muslims were to be eliminated if God was to rule Poland. The crowds saw in Trump's use of the phrase the legitimacy of, and inspiration for, their own racial hatreds.
Joining "We want God" to a narrative in which ethnic nationalism implicitly found its validity in Christianity, Trump fused race with religious identity. He reinforced the crowd's belief in ethnic nationalism as a divinely-sanctioned and politically-expressed right. Consequently, racial hatred and nationalism became constitutive elements not only for religious expression, but they were also now the valences of sacred narratives. At the November rally, the crowds, emboldened by this sentiment, screamed it for the world to hear: "We want God" became synonymous with "Make Europe White Again", a fiction that linked America and Poland together through a calculus of ethnic nationalisms sutured to religious identity. The marchers had finally gained a "shared sense", a sensus communis, in which their "suffering" was recognized. It was a sensus communis of racial hatred, implicitly associated with divine sanction.
In juxtaposition, these three events suggest a trajectory of racism, moving from the Pope's critique of an ideology, to the crowd's association of that ideology with a rejection of their historical religion, to a displacement of that critique onto individuals who become the signifiers of a threat against the "shared sense" or values of that whole. The final step in this trajectory is the appeal to individuals to take matters into their own hands and violently act against the religious offense, individuals who no longer qualify as human.
With similar conflicts erupting in Charlottesville, Myanmar, Paris, and Gujarat, Anuradha Dingwaney Needham and Rajeswari Sunder Rajan explain that today's religious conflict is no longer "primarily waged over matters of belief", but "it is instead religion as the basis of identity . . . with co-religionists constituting a community, nation, or 'civilization'—that comes to be the ground of difference and hence conflict".[7] Needham and Rajan highlight racial hatred, recuperated as the foundation of community, under the aegis of religion, institutes a mandate. The essence of that mandate hinges on the identification of one group as representatives of an imagined religious threat.
The Polish example offers but one trajectory of a global crisis in which imagined threats, combined with imagined religious authorization and ethnic nationalism, promote exclusion and racism. In other words, although religion does not always produce racism as its telos or end, it can be commandeered to produce it. Communities feel authorized to associate collective apprehensions and societal fears with the necessity of their racisms by draping them in "sacred" legitimacy.

Q: Calculating percentages/conditionally summing with stat_summary_hex I have a set of lat/long values with a third variable that can be either -1 or 1. (Sample data: https://pastebin.com/WPq90ka1)
I am mapping this data into hex bins using stat_summary_hex:
single <- read.csv(file="mysamplefile.csv",head=TRUE)

pdxMap <- get_stamenmap(bbox = c(left = -122.844435, bottom = 45.42, right =
-122.43, top = 45.665316), zoom = 11, maptype = "toner")

ggmap(pdxMap) +
  coord_equal() + theme(aspect.ratio = 1)  +
  stat_summary_hex(data=single, aes(x=LONGITUDE,y=LATITUDE,z = Value),
                   fun = function(z) mean(z),
                   alpha = .9, bins=50) +
  scale_fill_gradientn(colors=c('#4393c3', '#ffffff', '#d6604d'))

However, instead of doing mean(z), I'd prefer to calculate the percentage of values that are 1, ie: (sum of values that=1)/(sum of all abs(values))
The denominator isn't an issue, but I can't figure out how to manage the numerator. Any guidance would be much appreciated!


The word 'healing' has become associated with a lot of mistrust, especially as there are those who claim that their particular ritual will take away all of the ill, or that a particular potion or mystical procedure will 'cure all'. It has been associated with the notion of evangelical healing, with people collapsing to the ground in incoherent raptures only to arise, 'healed by the hand of God'.
It all seems a little ridiculous, and naturally, suspicions are aroused when one speaks of 'getting healing' when we consider the visions of strange and mystical fish slapping, or perhaps notions of voodoo, crystals that claim to heal cancer, or witch doctors with strange chants and foul tasting herbs.
Because of these sort of things, we have come to consider culturally that healing is something that is mystical and mysterious, and something that charlatans proclaim, preying upon the weak and vulnerable, making false promises. We can sense the falsity in all of these instances, and it naturally arouses our suspicion when someone/anyone mentions the notion of 'healing'.
Yet, when used in accordance with its true meaning, 'healing' is not a word to be viewed with suspicion and neither is the practice of true healing.
It is innately a natural part of our vocabulary. We all have an innate understanding of what it is to 'heal'.
It is simply that the word has become mistakenly associated with practices that do harm, or do not truly support, especially when they purport to be practices that are 'the all' that a person needs to support them in their lives, or a ritual that claims to be able to 'take away' all the ills.
Our wounds have a process to 'heal', our bodies 'heal' and to 'heal' is a very real and tangible process that takes place on a chemical and physical level as well as an energetic and emotional level. Healing comes from within, but can be supported from the outer.
True Healing is not about someone 'taking away our ills' with the wave of a hand, wand, or the administration of a potion. As with our wound healing, Healing is something that we do for ourselves, and it is a process that takes time and comes from within.
Our wounds heal from within. The doctors don't make the wound heal – it is our bodies that heal. Doctors simply support us in caring for our bodies to support the healing process.
The same is with seeking healing from practitioners. We are the ones that heal ourselves, but we can seek assistance from a practitioner to support us in our own awareness and making choices for ourselves.
"Healing is about discarding what is not love so that you can feel the fact that you are love."


1st issue: I created a LAN to LAN connection and it disables both ISP WAN internet connection.
1Q: Why is that and how do I re-establish ISP WAN on one or both Zeroshell routers?
2Q: Do both server & client Zeroshell router need to have a static IP address on its own VPN LAN to LAN interface?
3Q: Do I need to setup a Static Route?
If you use a routing configuration, you need static routes. In bridge mode, where the layer 2 of the LANs are bridged, you don't.
4Q: Once the Zeroshell VPN LAN to LAN connection is configured correctly, can each router continue to user its own ISP WAN internet connection for internet browsing and only use the VPN LAN to LAN for File and Printer sharing?
yes, it is possible. You just have to add the static routes to define the traffic you want to be tunneled in the VPN.

Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services
Princess Raya of Paruth lived alone on a deserted island in a towering lighthouse, forgotten by time. With only a loyal albatross as a friend, she had little hope or joy in her life until he washed up on her shore in the middle of a raging winter storm.
Prince Trevor of Galder left his father and kingdom behind to travel north in search of a wife. It was time to settle down and forget Ella Carina, the woman who chose to love a peasant and follow her heart instead of choosing Trevor and fulfilling her duty to her people. He didn't heed the warnings about the North Sea in winter, and his ship, crew, and captain paid the price.
Raya and Trevor must work together to find a way off the island, or risk being trapped there for the rest of their lives. But sometimes the simplest lessons are the hardest, and each will have to learn that the only thing that can truly set you free is love.

Q: Have UITableViewCell button action return as unhandled to trigger tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath I have created a screen in iOS that is basically a folder listing. It can contain files and folders. When I tap on a folder, I expect to have a new screen show up with the contents of that folder. However, I want to do several things with a file.
I have a UITableView with its own custom UITableViewCell. On it there are two buttons that I only want to do actions if on a file row. One button performs a segue to another view controller (to see properties). The second button performs an action (download the file). For folders, I also set the accessoryType to UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator. There is also a tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method that performs a check to see if it is a folder and show a new screen if it is. (Although I don't know if the check is necessary because it only gets called for folders due to the accessoryType.
My issue (I think) is that the order of operations is messing things up on the folder items.
On a folder, if I tap the button that triggers a segue for files, the tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method gets called before the prepareForSegue:sender: method. So my folder does its own segue properly. However, if I tap the action button, the action gets called first, and tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: is not called.
It seems as if the UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator setting overrides segues, but not actions.
Is there a result I can return from the action, or some other method I can call, to indicate that the button action is unhandled and the parent action should fire? I know that is often allowed in Windows applications, but I don't know if there is a similar support in Objective-C.
My current workaround is to add a check to the action to see if it is a folder, and then do all the steps I would normally do in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:. That works, but I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution. I am also going to research if I can have two different UITableViewCells in the same table.

A: I think you need to add handler for tableView:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath: function to catch an event when user tapped accessory button. And ultimately have same code called from this function and from tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: if you want them to behave same way.

A: In short, to respond to you final comment about having multiple types of UITableViewCells in one table, the answer is yes. That would be a much cleaner solution for your issue.
When you are creating the cell in - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath You can use a different cell identifier.
If you are using a UITableView with Dynamic Prototypes you can add another cell to your table and give it a different Identifier (Reuse Identifier) under the Attributes Inspector. When you generate the cell, you can simply call the alternative identifier when you are setting your dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: method.

First FDA-Approved Digital Pill Tracks Schizophrenic Patients
The FDA has approved the first pill with an embedded ingestible sensor that can track when, or if, a patient takes their medication.
Credit: Proteus Digital Health
The FDA has approved the first pill with an embedded ingestible sensor that can track when, or if, a patient takes their medication. The sensor will be used with the drug Abilify MyCite—which is prescribed to treat schizophrenia, bi-polar disorders and depression—and automatically shares data with doctors, caregivers, family members or anyone else the patient has pre-approved.
The sensor attempts to solve the problem of nonadherence. As it turns out, millions of patients don't take their medications as prescribed, which leads to poor therapeutic outcomes and costs billions per year in avoidable health care costs. Ameet Sarpatwari, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School, said for The New York Times that the digital pill "has the potential to improve public health," especially for patients who want to take their medication but forget.
On the flip side, the constant monitoring may actually increase mistrust or make patients feel uncomfortable. Dr. Peter Kramer, a psychiatrist referred to the drug as "packaging a medication with a tattletale."
Here's how the ingestible sensor works with the drug. The sensor is the size of a "grain of sand" and is embedded within the pill at the point of manufacture. In addition to taking the pill, the patients are also required to wear a patch on their skin, which acts as an external sensor. The patch reads the signals sent from the ingested sensor, which is activated after the pill has interacted with stomach fluids. The information is then sent from the patch to an app installed on the patient's phone. The patient can share (or stop sharing at any time) this information with others.
Ironically, the FDA notes on their website that "the ability of the product to improve patient compliance with their treatment regimen has not been shown." The choice of drug (one that treats schizophrenia) to feature the first sensor of this kind may also raise some eyebrows. As Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, chairman of psychiatry at Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, said:
"There's an irony in it being given to people with mental disorders that can include delusions. It's like a biomedical Big Brother."
Still, the technology could have other potentially beneficial applications. It could be used, for example, in clinical trials to make sure that participants are following protocols correctly. It could also be used to track excessive opioid use - a problem that has been on the rise in the U.S.
In more controversial applications, taking a pill like this could be a requirement for releasing patients with certain type of psychiatric disorders. It is also not a stretch to see that insurers may take an interest in it and provide incentives to customers who use it.
This Ultra-Thin Material Can Stop Bullets by Hardening Like a Diamond

A recently-found picture of a wild pig that was made over 45,500 years ago is the world's oldest known cave painting, according to archaeologists. The painting, which may also be the world's oldest representational or figurative artwork, was discovered on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, hidden away in a remote Leang Tedongnge cave.

If you're wondering, the now-second world's oldest dated painting of 43,900 years of age was previously found in the same Sulawesi area by the same team. That one pictured a group of part-human, part-animal hybrid figures on the hunt. The scientists also point out that these dates are minimum ages, determined from analyzing buildups of mineral deposits on the cave art. The paintings could be as old as 60,000 to 65,000 years. By comparison, the cave paintings in the Lascaux cave complex in France are "just" 17,000 years old.
