Reprodukční úspěšnost je definovaná jako šance přenosu genů do další generace skrze plodné potomstvo. To nutně neznamená znamenat počet potomků (a potomků potomků). Oproti evolučnímu fitness reprodukční úspěch zahrnuje i například pravděpodobnost, že jedinec uspěje v kompetici, že bude produkovat potomstvo dostatečně rychle, aby se mohlo přizpůsobit apod. Zároveň reprodukční úspěšnost se může během života měnit a tradičně se počítá spíše pro individuálního jedince, než pro celou populaci např. se společným genem.

Role výživy
Faktory jako množství živin se na reprodukční úspěšnosti značně podílí. Ty zahrnují jak rozdílné množství konzumovaných látek, ale především poměr uhlovodíků k bílkovinám. V některých případech (například v době rozmnožování) je ale pro úspěšnost organizmu relevantnější poměr látek přijatých a vydaných. Důležitost poměru příjmu uhlovodíku v čase kopulace ukazuje také, že doba páření je obvykle delší u cukrem živených samců, než u samců živených bílkovinami.

Freedom Series 2018: Battle of the Broadcasters
One of the most awaited series for India is now just minutes away. After a comprehensive victory over all-comers in the home campaign, the Indian Team heads on a long overseas campaign with the first stop being South Africa.
The cricketing relations between the two nations have been interesting. India boycotted South Africa on apartheid grounds for a long time. A justified call, as South Africa was banned from all sports for quite a long time. And then at the end of the regime, India was the first nation to host as well as tour South Africa. And in the entire course of 25 years, India have never managed to beat the Proteas in a series in their home.
So while we wait for the series to commence, here is a look at the promotional campaigns run by the broadcasters.
First by Sony in India who have focused their campaign on ending the 25-year wait and seeking revenge! Jingoism at its best!
And now from South Africa, who have focused on the shared history of the two nations, linked by two of the greatest personalities of modern times – Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, and the cricketing history of the two nations!
What a beautiful promo!
Wish the Indian broadcasters also grew up and used sports as more than just a war and propaganda tool in their campaigns!

Cricket in "The Big Bang Theory"
I am a big fan of the Sitcom "The Big Bang Theory". However, found a very weird line in one of the recent episodes.
Our favorite desi astrophysicist, Dr. Rajesh Koothrapalli, takes his friend Howard Wolowitz to a sports bar, where a cricket match is being telecast live. And while explaining the game to a bored Howard, comes up with this line."That's Ravichandran Ashwin, he is amazing. He makes Bhuvaneswar Kumar seem like Hardik Pandya!" A confused Howard replies with "thats too many syllables", while a confused me pauses the episode, rewinds and is clearly bamboozled by what the meaning of that line could be. A couple of attempts makes it clear that the statement has no meaning in the cricketing sense.
However, the show goes on. And on the scene arrives Ruchi, who is equally cricket-crazy. And they get into a discussion on India's chances in World Cup (which one?) which solely rests on Kohli's form. (Now that is completely true).
Ruchi meanwhile wants the bowler to break the batsmen's (who isn't mentioned) leg. I assume the over must have changed in the interim otherwise hollering Ashwin to bowl yorkers? And the duo discuss being present at the ground to witness Shoaib Akhtar's two consecutive yorkers in Eden Gardens to Dravid & Tendulkar (last few details assumed by me).
So three random names, Kohli's form being key to India's World Cup chances, yorkers, and their deadly use by Shoaib Akhtar in Eden Gardens (Video). Thats a whole lot of cricket in the Big Bang!

The Twenty17 LineUp
2018 has dawned upon us and the cricketing action continues in full swing with New Zealand completing a demolition of the West Indies and Vidarbha winning the Ranji Trophy for the first time ever. Before the action hots up further, time to take a look back at the Cricketing XI of 2017 (compiled by yours truly).
1. Afghanistan & Ireland get Test Status
After resisting for years, ICC decided to expand the Test arena. And thus we have two new Full members on-board – Afghanistan and Ireland (although both are yet to play a Test). Well-deserved reward for the yeoman service done to the Associate cause. Ireland by consistently upsetting the big teams at the major events and Afghanistan by providing a sporting fairy-tale even the best of Hollywood writers will not be able to script! Now they just need to play a Test each!
2. Women's World Cup
2017 was the year in which women's cricket became just cricket! The massive success of the Women's World Cup provided the ultimate fillip. It also helped that India performed well and finished runners-up in a closely contested Lord's final. But surprisingly after all the goodwill generated, BCCI hasn't really cashed in and the Indian team hasn't played a single game after the World Cup Final!
3. Pakistan
If there is a team which can be trusted to do the inexplicable, it has to be Pakistan. It was another roller-coaster year (no surprises there!). They won the Champions Trophy in England and managed to lose a Test series to Sri Lanka in their adopted home! But the highlight would be the return of International cricket to Pakistan with a T20 series against an International XI (which inexplicably was given international status) and a one off game against Sri Lanka. Which brings us to…
4. The Sri Lankan Captaincy Revolving Door
Angelo Matthews, Dinesh Chandimal, Upul Tharanga, Thisara Perera, Rangana Herath, Chamara Kapugedera, Lasith Malinga – Seven different men captained the Sri Lankan team across different formats this year. Also showed in the overall results where they were hammered by all and sundry, including a series loss to Zimbabwe, who themselves were coming off from losses to Scotland and Netherlands!
5. Performance of the Year
Will pick two this year. Marcus Stoinis's incredible assault against New Zealand, which nearly won Australia the game. And Harmanpreet Kaur's blistering 171* against Australia in the World Cup semi-finals, probably the defining innings for the women's game in India.

Yay! The time has finally come to show you both the progression shots and the final product looks like.
But before I rush into it let me say just a little bit about this painting. For those you who are not Christian, simply try to appreciate the effort and feeling that went into this artwork.
This painting was inspired by a Relief Society lesson (like Sunday school but for women) about woman of virtue through gospel history. We started off with none other than Mary, Mother to our Saviour. I was inspired by her courage, faith and absolute humility despite the fact that she was to bear the King of all Kings.
I would also like to thank my beautiful model Kerry Beldon, she too inspires me with her faith and positive spirit.
And now for the reveal.
Below are a few Progress photos of how it looked from beginning to end.
and a close up of my final product.
I can't tell you how happy I am to be making art again! this isn't the last of you'll see of Mother Mary, I'll also be doing some charcoal sketches before I start with the next Woman in my Queens of Light Series; Esther.
Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
< No need to Rush.
It's so beautiful Cathy. I love the feeling of peace it I get from it.
Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that.
Beautiful, so happy you are painting again .

 V3099. Not all the members of type are serialized inside 'GetObjectData' method.
V3099. Not all the members of type are serialized inside 'GetObjectData' method.
The analyzer detected a suspicious implementation of method 'GetObjectData', where some of the serializable type members are left unserialized. This error may result in incorrect object deserialization or raising a 'SerializationException'.
Consider the following example. Suppose we have declared a method to handle object serialization and deserialization.
When declaring the 'Derived' class, the programmer forgot to serialize the 'Prop' property of the base class, which will result in incomplete saving of the object's state when it is serialized. When the object is deserialized, the 'Prop' property will be set to the default value, which is 0 in this case.
To ensure that the object's state is saved in full during serialization, we need to modify the code by specifying in the implementation of method 'GetObjectData' that the 'Prop' property's value should be stored in an object of type 'SerializationInfo', and in the serialization constructor that it should retrieve that value.


My family and I are renting a house for a week's vacation. I've been told that wireless Internet is provided but I've found some of these "free" connections can be so slow that they're almost unusable. Any hints for using broadband on vacation?
The good news is that broadband speeds tend to be better for home and condo rentals than some motels and hotels because they're plumbed with connections typical of the surrounding neighborhood rather than offering a shared, bulk connection. Hotels often use such a shared connection for dozens-to-hundreds of rooms with the result being slow going.
My first suggestion would be to find out exactly how fast your new home's broadband is. I carry Speedtest.net's Mobile Speed Test app on my iPhone. To discover what speeds are available to me I stand as close as I can to the wireless modem, log onto the network, and run the app (see the image above). It provides you with information about download and upload speeds. (If you're carrying a laptop instead, turn to the Speedtest.net website.) I'll then wander around the place and keep an eye on the Wi-Fi bar to look for weak or dead spots.
If you find that the connection is really slow or that it's wildly inconsistent during the test, unplug the modem, let it sit for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. Some of these modems can sit for weeks or months without being reset and provide a lousy connection in the meantime. Briefly depriving them of power can often result in a much faster connection.
If the connection remains slow it's possible that it's that way by intent or circumstance—someone's paying very little for the connection or you're out in the boonies with a DSL connection over ancient copper. (Or, worst of all, relegated to a satellite connection.) It's now time to take a gander at your phone's cellular connection. Turn off Wi-Fi and run Speedtest again. If you discover that the cellular connection is umpteen times faster than the rental's free Wi-Fi, that may be the better avenue.
Whether or not it is will depend on the kind of calling plan you have. If you've paid for a limited amount of data—250MB a month, for example—you'll want to keep your connections few and far between (and use that data for light-duty jobs such as email, web browsing, and texting). You can be quite a bit more liberal in your use if you have a multi-gigabyte cap. And with such a cap you can also think about sharing your phone's data connection with other devices by setting it up as a mobile hotspot.
When you can't share your iPhone's connection, consider a mobile hotspot.


Article I, Section 8, of the United States Constitution authorizes Congress to enact "uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies." Under this authority, Congress enacted the "Bankruptcy Code" in 1978. The Bankruptcy Code, which is codified as title 11 of the United States Code, has been amended several times since its enactment. It is the uniform federal law that governs all bankruptcy cases.
There is a bankruptcy court for each judicial district in the country. Each state has one or more districts. There are 90 bankruptcy districts across the country.
A debtor's involvement with the bankruptcy judge is non-existent. A typical chapter 7 debtor will not appear in court and will not see the bankruptcy judge unless an objection is raised in the case. A chapter 13 debtor may only have to appear before the bankruptcy judge at a plan confirmation hearing. Usually, the only formal proceeding at which a debtor must appear is the meeting of creditors, which is usually held at the offices of the U.S. trustee. This meeting is informally called a "341 meeting" because section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the debtor attend this meeting so that creditors can question the debtor about debts and property.
A goal of the federal bankruptcy code is to give debtors a financial "fresh start" from burdensome debts. This goal is accomplished through the bankruptcy discharge, which releases debtors from personal liability from specific debts and prohibits creditors from ever taking any action against the debtor to collect those debts.
For individuals and couples, there are 2 primary types of bankruptcy cases. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
Chapter 7, Liquidation, contemplates an orderly, court-supervised procedure by which a trustee takes over the assets of the debtor's estate, reduces them to cash, and distributes available funds to creditors, subject to the debtor's right to retain certain exempt property and the rights of secured creditors. Because there is usually little or no nonexempt property in most chapter 7 cases, there may not be an actual liquidation of the debtor's assets. These cases are called "no-asset cases." A creditor holding an unsecured claim will get a distribution from the bankruptcy estate only if the case is an asset case and the creditor files a proof of claim with the bankruptcy court. In most chapter 7 cases, if the debtor is an individual, he or she receives a discharge that releases him or her from personal liability for certain dischargeable debts. The debtor normally receives a discharge just a few months after the petition is filed. Since 2005, the Bankruptcy Code has required the use of a means test to determine whether individual consumer debtors qualify for relief under chapter 7. If such a debtor's income is in excess of certain thresholds, the debtor may not be eligible for chapter 7 relief.
Chapter 13, Adjustment of Debts of an Individual With Regular Income, is designed for an individual debtor who has a regular source of income. Chapter 13 can be preferable to chapter 7 because it enables the debtor to keep a valuable asset, such as a home, and because it allows the debtor to propose a "plan" to repay creditors over time – normally 3 to 5 years. Chapter 13 is also used by consumer debtors who do not qualify for chapter 7 relief under the means test. At a confirmation hearing, the court either approves or disapproves the debtor's repayment plan, depending on whether it meets the Bankruptcy Code's requirements for confirmation. Chapter 13 is very different from chapter 7 since the chapter 13 debtor usually remains in possession of the property of the estate and makes payments to creditors, through the trustee, based on the debtor's anticipated income over the life of the plan. Unlike chapter 7, the debtor does not receive an immediate discharge of debts. The debtor must complete the payments required under the plan before the discharge is received. The debtor is protected from lawsuits, garnishments, and other creditor actions while the plan is in effect. The discharge is also somewhat broader (i.e., more debts are eliminated) under chapter 13 than the discharge under chapter 7.
There are other chapters of the Bankruptcy Code which, for the most part, do not involve individual debtors. Chapter 9 concerns municipalities; Chapter 11 is normally utilized for business reorganization (but can be utilized by individuals); Chapter 12 is for family farmers.


It's true: You can go to the drugstore and buy a five-pack of underwear for 20 bucks. But should you?
There once was a time when one of our editors, Adam, would have said yes—he saw no benefit to dropping $30 to $40 on a single pair of underwear. But then he tried Saxx.
Saxx is a luxury men's underwear brand known for the "Ballpark Pouch," a hammock-like panel that separates your balls from your legs, providing superior comfort and preventing chafing. Adam tried a pair from Saxx's Fiesta line on the recommendation of Men's Health's fashion director, and was surprised to discover they totally lived up to the hype. Not only did the Saxx hold his junk comfortably in place, they also never bunched or rode up his legs.
Adam was so impressed by the pair he tried that he ordered two other styles from Saxx: the Blacksheep ($44.95) and the Vibe ($31.95). "Now if you think that spending $30 to $40 on a pair of underwear is stupid, I totally get it," he wrote. "I used to think that, too. You can always do what I did: Order one pair, and see if the experience is worth it to you."
If you're going to splurge on a pair of Saxx, now's the perfect time to do it. For Black Friday, Saxx is offering up to 40% off underwear, and 20% sitewide on all purchases, starting at 8pm Eastern on November 23 through November 24. That means you can score a pair some pairs of Saxx for under $20 (and that hardly ever happens).
Take it from Adam: "Saxx's slogan is: 'Life Changing Underwear.' Which is ridiculous. Except that it's kind of true."

Q: Interactive bash in Docker under mingw on Windows I'm using a bash shell (Mingwg64) on windows, to run bash from a docker container.
Tobi@DESKTOP MINGW64 /
$ docker run -i debian bash
ls

gives the result: bash: line 1: $'ls\r': command not found which from what I can tell is because there's a \r prepended to the usual \n when I press the enter key - as I'm on windows.
Anyone know a good fix for this?

A: The documentation for docker run tells:

If you do not specify -a then Docker will attach to both stdout and
stderr . You can specify to which of the three standard streams
(STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR) you'd like to connect instead, as in:
$ docker run -a stdin -a stdout -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

For interactive processes (like a shell), you must use -i -t together
in order to allocate a tty for the container process. -i -t is often
written -it as you'll see in later examples. Specifying -t is
forbidden when the client is receiving its standard input from a pipe
[...]

So you should use -it instead of -i: the tty layer will have a chance to translate the terminal input from \r\n into \n for the target system:
$ docker run -it debian bash

Introducing Springfield Clinic Peoria Allergy and Asthma
Dr. Penelope Ewbank and Dr. Stephen Smart will continue to provide care at their current location, now called Springfield Clinic Peoria Allergy and Asthma, located at 6615 North Big Hollow Road, Suite 1 in Peoria.
Both Dr. Ewbank and Dr. Smart specialize in general allergy and asthma care, including:
Allergic rhinitis (immunotherapy)
Angioedema
Asthma/COPD (spirometry, FeNO, action plans)
Chronic/recurrent sinusitis
Drug allergy (penicillin testing)
Eczema (patch testing)
Food allergy (food challenges, eosinophilic esophagitis)
Immune deficiency (recurrent infections)
Originally interested in basic science research, Penelope Ewbank, MD, decided in college that a career in medicine would more directly impact people's lives for the better.
"Immunology is a fascinating science that underlies numerous diseases. With targeted treatment plans we can make a dramatic difference in people's lives," she says. "Patients with asthma, for example, often settle for living at a lower level. There is no reason to limit activities when you can live your fullest life with the right help."
Dr. Ewbank received her medical degree from top-ranked Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo., followed by an internal medicine residency there at Barnes Hospital. She completed her allergy and immunology fellowship at the prestigious National Jewish Health in Denver, Colo., where she trained with internationally recognized leaders in the field. She strives to apply cutting-edge medical knowledge to design individualized treatment plans with patients and their families—all balanced with a bit of humor whenever possible!
Stephen Smart, MD, says his favorite part of the allergy, asthma and immunology specialty is the ability to treat patients of all ages and really make a noticeable difference in their quality of life.
"When you're breathing easier, you're sleeping better, you're playing sports again," he says, "that's what I like most about allergy, that you actually come back feeling better."
Dr. Smart attended Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo., for medical school, then completed his internal medicine residency at Barnes Hospital, Washington University and his allergy and immunology fellowship at University of Iowa University Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa. From there, he served as clinic director in the US Air Force's allergy fellowship program before settling down in Peoria. Dr. Smart's practice focuses on determining root causes of a problem and creating education plans with patients to help them take ownership of their allergy and asthma care.
Dr. Smart will also provide outreach care in Princeton once a month and Macomb twice a month at the following locations:
Perry Memorial Hospital at 530 Park Avenue E, Suite 409, in Princeton, Ill., effective July 13, 2021
McDonough District Hospital Medical Arts Building at 527 East Grant Street in Macomb, Ill., effective Aug. 5, 2021
Springfield Clinic now provides family medicine, surgical, obstetrics, gynecology and allergy, asthma and immunology care across four locations in the Peoria area, including:
Springfield Clinic Peoria, 1001 Main Street, Suite 300 (Peoria)
Springfield Clinic Peoria Heights, 4616 North Prospect Road (Peoria Heights)
Springfield Clinic Proctor, 5401 North Knoxville Avenue, Suite 215 (Peoria)
Springfield Clinic Peoria Allergy and Asthma, 6615 North Big Hollow Road, Suite 1 (Peoria)
The providers with Springfield Clinic Allergy, Asthma & Immunology offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment of all conditions related to asthma and allergies. Meet our providers here.

Transfers that shook the world: Wilfried Bony
By Marcus Oades
Swansea City supporters have been in fine voice in recent times after seeing their team get back to winning ways in the Championship at the weekend.
Graham Potter's men went into their meeting with Queens Park Rangers at the Liberty Stadium off the back of a 0-0 draw at Middlesbrough last time out, a result which stretched their winless run in the league to three games. Yet the South Wales outfit bounced back on Saturday as goals from Courtney Baker-Richardson, Connor Roberts, and Jay Fulton sealed a routine 3-0 victory for Potter's side, thus moving them up to seventh place in the Championship table.
As such, there have been many thrilled Swansea fans up and down the country in recent times, several of whom are wondering when striker Wilfried Bony may return from a lengthy time out with injury.
The striker returned to the Liberty Stadium last year having left back in 2015 for Manchester City, but in spending £12 million on the 29-year-old first time round back in 2013, and thus what they then got from the forward in terms of goals and performance, the addition of Bony will surely go down as the best £12 million Swansea spent during their time in the Premier League.
Ultimately, the Swans had survived two seasons in the top-flight with relative ease prior to Bony's arrival at the club in the summer of 2013, although having won the League Cup the season before alongside finishing ninth in the league, expectations were much higher heading into the 2013/14 season.
And manager at the time Michael Laudrup was seemingly aware of that in breaking the club's transfer record to lure Bony to South Wales, a decision which proved to be an absolute masterstroke as the 29-year-old went on to produce the goods for the Swans.
In his first season in English football, the Ivory Coast international netted 25 times in all competitions to help Swansea to a 12th place finish in the Premier League and indeed the last-32 of the Europa League.
And while the club went through a turbulent spell following the sacking of Laudrup in February 2014, Bony continued to deliver under new boss Garry Monk with ten goals in his last 14 league games of the 2013/14 campaign – he had turned out to be a priceless addition.
And he wasn't just a one-season wonder either as the 29-year-old started the 2014/15 season brilliantly as well, bagging on nine occasions in the Premier League in the first half of the campaign, which was form that earned him a big-money move to Manchester City in the January transfer window of 2015.
Nonetheless, Bony finished his first Swans stint with a mightily impressive 34 goals in just 70 games for the club, and while he hasn't yet been able to produce the goods in his second spell in South Wales, Swansea fans simply won't forget the impact he had first time around.
And in making a healthy profit on the 29-year-old when they sold him to City for £28 million, he had not only produced the goods on the field, but the club had a great deal to show for the striker off the field as well.
As such, while several fine players were brought to Swansea during their stint in the top tier, the big-money addition of Bony was without doubt the best £12 million they spent during their time in the Premier League.
