Tech sector stocks continue to be hit hard this month, now led by Apple (Apple Stock Quote, Chart NASDAQ:APPL) whose share price tumbled on Monday after indications arose of a slowdown in demand for its products including the iconic iPhone. The malaise shouldn't come as a surprise, says Recode founder and editor-at-large Kara Swisher who argues that with no groundbreaking innovations in sight the sector looks to be entering a fallow period.
Apple shares fell by five per cent on Monday as news surfaced that some of its suppliers including face ID tech company Lumentum Holdings cut their revenue forecasts, suggesting a slowdown in Apple's product sales. JPMorgan Chase & Co slashed their price target for APPL by $4 to $266 (all figures in US dollars).
The rest of the FAANG group of US stocks hasn't fared any better. Amazon now sits 20 per cent off its recent high set in early September while Google parent Alphabet is down 18 per cent from its high of late July.
The current value of the FAANG stocks in comparison to the rest of the US indices shows how impactful the fortunes of companies like Apple and Facebook can be. By August of this year, the FAANG stocks along with Microsoft Corp. accounted for 38 per cent of the year-to-date gains on the S&P 500. Yesterday, on the back of share price declines for Apple and Goldman Sachs Group, the S&P 500 dropped 54.79 points or 1.97 per cent while the Nasdaq Composite fell 206.03 points or 2.78 per cent.
Swisher says that the size and power of the top tech stocks is evident in how difficult it is for smaller companies to scale up while remaining independent of the tech giants.
"With some of these companies, they're like semi-trailers running down the highway where nobody can get by, and the only way to get by is to get bought, and so I think you're going to see a lot more purchasing," she says.

Hainan breaks ground for Hainan Space Theme Park in Wenchang
With an investment reaching 30 billion yuan, Hainan Space Theme Park, one of the key projects in Hainan Province's ambition to build an international tourism destination, has won support from China's Astronaut Research and Training Center in Beijing and the Space Home Pavilion exhibited at the Shanghai Expo.
During a recent interview with China Radio International reporters in Haikou, capital city of Hainan Province, Lin Fangxian, deputy director of Hainan Aerospace Investment Management Co., Ltd., the company undertaking the theme park project, revealed they signed a cooperation agreement with China Astronaut Research and Training Center to jointly set up an educational camp for juvenile space science fans. The company has gone through all paperwork needed to receive approval of relocating the Space Home Pavilion to its theme park site.
The theme park, to be finished in 2013, is expected to encourage tourists who are usually drawn by the beaches of Hainan's capital city Sanya, to take a detour and explore tourism resources off the coastline.
"Most tourists come for the coastal charm of Hainan, but there is more to this place than beaches and sunshine," Lin said, "the space theme park is located in Wenchang, a city in northern Hainan island, famous for its wide expanse of coconut trees."
The project created jobs for over 1,500 locals and protects the eco environment during construction, the layout of the park is designed to center on the distribution of coconut trees.
"Tropical weather in Hainan makes vegetation essential to any architecture; they not only screen over the amount of sunshine but add to air humidity, so we should protect the natural environment," Lin explained.
Its two main purposes are to educate and entertain; the theme park would consist of four sections, namely: Earth Zone, Lunar Zone, Martian Zone and Solar Zone.
One highlight of the park is its interactive programs, Lin added. Visitors can take a tram tour to observe the rocket launch center to be built by the theme park in Wenchang. There will be a botanical garden housing all plants and seeds brought back from space by astronauts. Visitors can conduct experiments to see changes in plants before and after its treatment from space conditions.
The theme park is scheduled to be completed in 2013, open to public in 2014 and is expecting a visitor flux of 15,000 tourists within its first year.

Google, Facebook and Privacy
This is a late post on the never-ending discussion about the data privacy inside large companies, especially such data-centric ones like Google and Facebook (see later in the post). In this posting I'm referring mostly to Google and Facebook but be aware that similar discussions and many related topics are not at all limited to these companies and I just take the most known ones as an example. I'm writing this because it gets more frequently in the recent weeks that I'm involved in talks and discussions about privacy issues on different internet services, so here I try to write down my own position. I'm trying to back most of my comments with references here (be sure to check them out if you want to understand my point of view) but of course I'm already biased so take this as my completely personal opinion as of the end of 2010!
Why I have trust in Google
Google had to take a heavy hit when it publicly announced that it had found out that there was payload data from unencrypted WLANs stored during their StreetView programme and recently because people sent email and passwords over unencrypted WLAN.
For me, contrary to aparently most other opinions, this causes Google to rise in my trust because I'm very sure that any other company which had a similar incident would do everything to prevent public knowledge of this. Not so Google. They proactively stepped forward, disclosed the data acquisition accident and invited public authorities to come in to review and check the collected data before they are deleting it without further processing.
The company must have known very well that these actions would impact its image but this didn't stop it from further cooperation in almost any aspect of this incident. For example an evaluation of official british privacy groups found no evidence of personal data in the StreetView logs although this was again stated as a disappointment (german) by other data protection groups later on. Google also let an external company review the whole process of the data acuisition and processing for the StreetView programme which came to the conclusion that the whole process did at no point analyze or process recorded data from connections in the WLAN. It really did only enough processing of the WLAN headers to be able to locate the WLAN, which was the whole point of this programme.
Collecting WLAN data and positions is common practice and many companies have specialized in the area of geolocation via WLAN IDs (eg. SkyHook and even Apple itself), yet only Google is ranked high in the news for data breach while almost nobody criticises these other companies or thinks of real attackers who are surfing the streets and scanning unencrypted WLANs for importand data. For software developers and engineers it's almost clear that the data breach of Google was really just an oversight (german) during the software development and I certainly salute Google to bite the bullet for a whole industry branch. It even takes complaints from its competitors who think that during this public criticism on Google is the right time to take the chance and join beating the rival.
In my opinion Google was (and still is) one of the most respectable companies if the topic is about data security. There were of course other minor accidents with data privacy but almost every time they reacted fast and closed the holes or changed the processes within a very short timespan. As of my knowledge there has only been one incident where an internal maintenance employee who, because of its maintenance activities had access to users' data, abused his rights and accessed users' data without their consent or internal maintenance reasons. Google did react on this but I think it could have done faster and with a more clear statement.
As a final hint, if someone is really interested what data Google collects for each person hop over to the Google Privacy Center and read the small and (in my opinion) quite clear (compared to any other) privacy statement. There you also have the possibility to access the Google Privacy Dashboard where you can yiew and manage almost all the data stored with your account, change the Google ads preferences or even opt-out of it and disable the statistics collection by Google Analytics. It even maintains a publicly availale list of requests from governments to Google for removing content or providing user information.
Why I have no trust in Facebook
Try to find such features on sites like Facebook. In fact Facebook already has a quite impressive list of similar privacy issues, ranging from simple data collection features for crawlers (which is still available to this date) to collecting data of users without accounts on Facebook (german). Although Facebook has often said to tighten up their privacy settings and make it easy for users to adjust them it's still a very complicated process to strip down your privacy options and requires constant review of your sharing settings when you don't want to keep the default settings and share your data with the whole world. There already have been privacy support applications created which assist you in checking and correcting Facebooks privacy settings via easier interfaces. How sick is this? Some people even think to the extend that Facebook should just give in and simply sell your data right away.
Of course Facebook serves its original purpose, connecting people and sharing information, quite well and it may be the ideal tool for many people to do so. But in fact, I doubt that most of the users on Facebook are really aware to which extend Facebook really collects and connects information which is provided in known and unknown means by its users.
My conclusion
In the end I'm always a bit confused and disappointed when people state that they don't trust a certain big company because of "privacy reasons" without having a real justification at hand to do so and then maybe even take this discussion to their Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. I personally still give Google a magnitude of trust in advance of sites like Facebook and from my current point of view there is not much possibility to change my opinion or see me creating an account on this site in the near future.

Q: Grouping Core Data Objects I have a core data entity that has a created_at attribute which is a NSDate, and an amount attribute which is a NSInteger.
I would like to make a request that returns the sum of amounts grouped by months. Something like:
[['February 2010', 450], ['January 2010', 300]]

I'm not sure how to approach this, if I would have to first fetch all results for a specific date range, and then calculate sum, or if there are other methods.
P.S. I'm doing this on the iphone 4.2 sdk.

A: Even thought an answer has already be accepted let me add this more sophisticated and faster method for completeness.
Assuming the months aren't modeled in your data model, you will need to fetch the objects in each month and then sum the amounts. Repeat for as many months as you need.
So, the first step is to create a variable predicate for the fetch. Something like this:
NSPredicate *exPred=[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"%@<=created_at<=%@", monthStartDate,monthEndDate];
NSPredicate *exPred=[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(%@<=created_at) AND (created_at<=%@)", monthStartDate,monthEndDate];

... then execute the fetch and sum the return:
NSNumber *theSum=[@sum.[context executeFetchRequest:theFetch error:&error].amount];
... or less cowboy:
NSArray *fetchedObjects=[context executeFetchRequest:theFetch error:&error];
    // if no error
    NSNumber *theSum=[fetchedObjects valueForKeyPath:@"@sum.amount"];

Put that in a loop for each month.
Predicates and collection operates are much faster than loops. Use them instead of loops whenever possible.

A: I'd fetch the range of objects you're interested into an array, then enumerate through that array and add all the amounts up on the go.
I'm not sure if this could be solved by creating a sophisticated request too, but my gut feeling tells me it would be tricky to set up anyway (if possible at all)...

Convict seeks new trial in wife's death
Aug. 31, 2009 Updated: Nov. 10, 2009 2:20 p.m.
NEW LONDON -- A Norwich man convicted of strangling his wife has filed a civil lawsuit seeking a new trial.
Michael Ervin is serving a 60-year prison sentence and claims there is new evidence that could clear him.
Ervin claims that the chief medical examiner was wrong in concluding that Renea Ervin's death in March of 2002 was a homicide.
Police had initially believed the woman died from choking on food, but the medical examiner later ruled she died of strangulation.
Ervin was convicted of murder in September 2005. Prosecutors said he was involved in an extramarital affair and made plans to move in with his girlfriend. ۩

Greenwich Council might have approved the Olympic test events in Greenwich Park last week – the News Shopper's Mark Chandler has done a great job in summing a fiddly issue up – but another decision taken at Thursday's planning meeting shows how perilous planning around London 2012 can be.
Also on the agenda was a tower which will provide access to the Cutty Sark when it reopens. To quote one of the councillors on the panel, the design presented to the board was "hideous" – looking like it had come from an industrial site. It's actually meant to evoke what a dockyard looks like. Unfortunately, it will also be sited on the narrower King William Walk/naval college side of the ship, where it will blight views from a street full of Georgian houses.
Papers presented to the planning board said the ship was due to reopen later this year. After all, that's what the hoardings surrounding the Cutty Sark are still saying. This information was wrong – the Cutty Sark Trust website now says the the ship will reopen in spring 2012. Local councillor David Grant pointed this out to the meeting, slipping in a dig that the new viewing structure beneath the ship will look "like a B&Q greenhouse".
Asked why the access point had to be the King William Walk side of Cutty Sark Gardens, rather than the wider foot tunnel side, councillors were told it was because of "plant" – essentially, the need to have a disabled toilet. But the Cutty Sark Trust could have worked with the council to find a solution to this, rather than presenting the planning board with a fait accompli After all, Greenwich is paying £3m of our money towards their scheme – where's our say in what's going on there?
Any delay to the plans, the board was told by the trust's representatives, could delay the Cutty Sark's re-opening by up to a year – missing the all-important July 2012 deadline.
So with a 2012-shaped gun to their heads, the planning board approved the tower by five votes to two on the proviso that the design presented to them was not the final one.
But this episode – and the latest delay to the scheme – is just a small example of what a shambles the Cutty Sark redevelopment is turning out to be. The Heritage Lottery Fund has stumped up £23m, the government's chipped in £3m, and the GLA's paid £1m towards a project that's lurched around since the fire of 2007, and whose adminstrators don't seem interested in involving the local community.
With so much public money at stake, hopefully when the job is done there'll be a full investigation into just why it's taken so long, and why Greenwich Council is being bounced into risky decisions like this.
this is outrageous. £40m spent on this, and the scheme is a total mess, a mostly repro boat marooned on a cheap conservatory, now with an oversize portaloo blocking the view. They should have called their bluff and rejected the design – the Olympics will be over in a year, but this cheap fudge will be with us for decades.
Have to agree with everything Paul says.
it looks even worse – the view with your back to the river (which is what will greet most tourists) is particularly poor. Surely there are already toilets c30 yards away in the new Discover Greenwich?


Photo Gallery Tuesday " 2011 Philadelphia Flower Show A French Garden"
As we approach the 2014 Philadelphia Flower Show next week, I thought it would be fun to look at the show back in 2011. This show was just amazing, and this was my favorite display by Jamie Rothstein titled French Garden. The theme of the show was Springtime in Paris, and they really went all out. You can check out my full post of the display HERE and you will see why it was my favorite. The designers that work on these displays really have such a talent, it blows your mind. So much detail in every piece of the display. If you have never visited this flower show, and you love flowers and art, I would highly suggest you try to make it one year!

Ranveer Singh is Missing wife Deepika Padukone while promoting Gully Boy.
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are among the most loved couples of B-town. The duo got married last year and since then they both are setting out couple goals.
And good thing is, there's still more to see. It so happened that Ranveer who is out about the town promoting Gully Boy with co-star Alia Bhatt reached the sets of Kapil Sharma's show.
And amidst all the punches and laughs, the Simmba actor sneaked out and got on a video call with wifey dearest.
Not just that, he also had the brightest smile plastered on his face and blew kisses before hanging up.
Earlier, Ranveer had penned down a heartfelt note for DP and had written, "I sometimes stop and admire her, aware that she is a special soul, born for greatness. She's born to positively impact lives through the shining beacon of her virtuous being. That she preserves a vulnerable and innocent, childlike side of herself exclusively for me is inexplicably gratifying. I am the proudest husband in the world. She inspires me to be the best man I can possibly be. She makes my life worth living. She is trulythe light of my life."
On the work front, Ranveer is gearing up for the release of his most awaited film Gully Boy. While Deepika will be next seen in Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak.

Andy Worthington Speaks at Event in London Marking Two Years Since Aafia Siddiqui's Barbaric 86-Year Sentence
I'm sorry to report that it's two years since the Pakistani neuroscientist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui received an 86-year sentence in a court in New York…
The trial of Aafia Siddiqui, which culminated in her sentence, and which I described at the time as "barbaric," appeared to be a cover for a much grimmer story — one of the darkest in the whole of the torture-filled "war on terror" — in which, on the basis of alleged connections with terrorism that have never been proved, she had disappeared with her children in Pakistan in March 2003 and was then held in a "black site" until her engineered reappearance in Ghazni in 2008.
According to the US authorities, after being captured in a bewildered state, she allegedly tried and failed to shoot the Americans guarding her, which provided an excuse to render her to the US to be put on trial — an unusual move given that most people accused of anti-American activities in Afghanistan did not end up in the US — and for her to be silenced as a result of the 86-year sentence handed down after a trial that critics called "a grave miscarriage of justice," and to be held in isolation in a psychiatric prison/hospital for women in Carswell, Texas, notoriously referred to as the "hospital of horrors", where her health continues to deteriorate, and where she is denied meaningful contact with her family…
As time passes …several significant figures have very publicly expressed their disgust at Aafia's plight, and the severity of her sentence. Recently, for example, former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark visited Pakistan and stated, "Justice demands that Aafia Siddiqui should immediately be released. I haven't witnessed such bare injustice in my entire career." In addition, Khurshid Kasuri, Pakistan's foreign minister under Pervez Musharraf, the President at the time of Aafia's disappearance, has stated, "I'm so sorry for handing over the innocent Dr. Aafia Siddiqui to the Americans. It was my biggest mistake ever."
Furthermore, just this week US Senator Mike Gravel, accompanied by the attorney Tina Foster of the International Justice Network, also visited Pakistan, where, as the Express Tribune described it, they "said that the Musharraf regime had illegally kidnapped Dr. Aafia along with her three children from Karachi in March 2003, and handed her over to the US government for illegal interrogation and secret detention based on completely false information." The Express Tribune added that Sen. Gravel "maintained that Dr Aafia's trial in the United States was illegal," and "added that the US government had no moral or legal justification for their actions."
Both he and Tina Foster stressed, however, that the Pakistani government "would have to take serious action if it wanted Dr. Siddiqui to be repatriated." Foster said, "We have received no cooperation from the Government of Pakistan in securing Dr Siddiqui's repatriation to Pakistan. There's been a lot of talk, but no concrete steps have been taken despite numerous requests for assistance." She added, "I've come on a humanitarian mission to ask Pakistani leadership for its assistance in returning Dr. Siddiqui to Pakistan. It's obvious that the will of the Pakistani people is being ignored by their leadership."…

Q: Angular2 Error in pushing data to array I have a variable declared of a model
 private lsName: Projectname.Models.LsModel[];

I then call the service to get data and push to this variable
 this.SomeDataService.getName().subscribe((lsName: Project.Models.LsModel[]) => {
            this.lsName.push(lsName);

But I get the error like: Argument of Type LsModel[] is not assignable to the parameter of type 'LsModel'. Property 'LsData' is missing LsModel[].

A: If you want to use push, you need to add the items one by one
private lsName: Projectname.Models.LsModel[] = [];

this.SomeDataService.getName().subscribe(
  (lsName: Project.Models.LsModel[]) => {
     lsName.forEach(val => this.lsName.push(lsName));
  });

perhaps you just wanted
this.SomeDataService.getName().subscribe(
  (lsName: Project.Models.LsModel[]) => this.lsName = lsName));

Q: How can I compare a radio button selection to a variable value in C#? This was an assignment from my textbook for a C# class that I could never get working properly. I searched online and couldn't find an answer. I asked my professor and other students and they either gave me non-answers (debug one issue at a time) or answers to problems I wasn't having. I feel like this must be something super simple that we would have learned in this basic intro class, but I can't figure it out. Here is the exact prompt for reference:

Create a project named GuessANumber with a Form that contains a guessing
game with five RadioButtons numbered 1 through 5. Randomly choose one of the
RadioButtons as the winning button. When the user clicks a RadioButton, display a
message indicating whether the user is right.
Add a Label to the Form that provides a hint. When the user's mouse hovers over the
label, notify the user of one RadioButton that is incorrect. After the user makes a
selection, disable all the RadioButtons.

I was able to generate the random number, create a label that when moused over reveals one incorrect answer, and once a user clicks on a radio button, it disables the other buttons.
The problem I ran into was trying to compare the radio button clicked to the random number answer.
First I tried to compare the value in the event handlers like this:
private void AnswerButton1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            AnswerButton2.Enabled = false;
            AnswerButton3.Enabled = false;
            AnswerButton4.Enabled = false;
            AnswerButton5.Enabled = false;
            if (randomNumber == 1)
            {
                ResultLabel.Text = "Correct";
            }
            else
            {
                ResultLabel.Text = "Incorrect";
            }
        }

I realized I didn't know how to bring the value of randomNumber into the event handler methods. So then, I tried to set up an if/else loop to check which button was selected using the radio button .Checked property. I did this in Form1 where the randomNumber is initialized and assigned so I can check them against each other, and I also tried creating a separate method to run this loop that I passed the randomNumber to. Something like this:
if (AnswerButton1.Checked && answer == 1)
            {
                ResultLabel.Text = "Correct";
            }

Both of these kind of worked, but they both had the same issue in that the loop runs immediately when the form loads, so it always finds the else value (no button selected) is true. And clicking a button at that point has no effect.
So my question is, how can I check a radio button selection against a value assigned when the program is initialized?

A:
"I didn't know how to bring the value of randomNumber into the event handler methods"

It sounds like you're declaring the random number inside a method, which means it only has scope for that method. Instead, create a class field to store the value, so it's accessible to all the methods in the class:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    // Give our random number class-level scope, so all class methods can access it
    private int randomNumber;
    private Random random = new Random();

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // Set the random number when the form starts
        this.randomNumber = random.Next(1, 6);
    }

    private void AnswerButton1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        AnswerButton2.Enabled = false;
        AnswerButton3.Enabled = false;
        AnswerButton4.Enabled = false;
        AnswerButton5.Enabled = false;

        // Now we have access to the random number because it has class-level scope
        if (this.randomNumber == 1)
        {
            ResultLabel.Text = "Correct";
        }
        else
        {
            ResultLabel.Text = "Incorrect";
        }
    }
}

Q: Android flash builder webview I'm currently developing a mobile application in flash builder for android.
In this application I'm using a web view, in this web view there is a link to a web-based application. The first thing you have to do is in this web-based application i login. This works fine. But i have one problem when i close the application and restart the application i always stay logged-in.
Is there any way to clear the data of a web view? Are options that clear the user data of the android application?
Here's my code
    <fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import flash.geom.Rectangle;
        import flash.media.StageWebView;
        import flash.net.*;
        import flash.net.URLRequest;

        import spark.components.Application;

        public var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();

        public function init():void
        {
            this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE , handleLoad );

        }
        public function handleLoad(e:Event):void
        {

            webView.stage = this.stage;
            webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 50, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
            webView.loadURL("http://jd44jse.ncsbe.eu.jnj.com:54400/MfmWeb/flex/mfm/plocmenuHD/main.html");
        }

        protected function logoutHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
        {

            NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();

        }

    ]]>
</fx:Script>

A: OK you need to add a code within the logout button that forces the user logout.  Or nullify the user information values upon exit. I am not at my computer but I will work on your code and see what I can discover.


Or maybe you want to write a book to leverage yourself as a consultant, to generate leads, or produce another revenue stream.
Hey, it's Shaun, I'm the consultant, the guy who's name is in the logo.
I know, I know, another guy with a website that's his name, that's a consultant.
Do you know what else I learned in split-testing headlines?
That when I talk about myself, my CTR drops by half.
I don't like to go lower than a 2% CTR on Facebook because it affects my relevancy score which causes my CPC to increase, ad costs go up, less people click, and no one buys your book.
Oops! I get carried away with this PPC stuff sometimes. Where were we?
Ah yes! The conversion rates are horrible when I start talking about myself. Therefore, let's talk about YOU instead.
After all your busy doing the important work like writing, running your business, or changing the world, right?
You might be the cancer curing, super vet, and industry influencer author ( an actual client of mine ) but instead of looking like Dr. Mary Johnson, DVM, world changer online, you look like Dr. Seuss.
Maybe you realize you need catered 1 on 1 support and that's why you are here reading this right now.
Those consultants confuse you, they use fear and fancy statements like "you gotta improve your ABSR, or book rank grade on Amazon, and tell you that you can't research profitable categories for your book, find new audiences, or improve Amazon Rank on your own.
It's all too confusing, right?
The real question is…how do you sell more books online?
Let's look at building your author platform around your book, or content by using Facebook marketing, for example.
The cost of getting on your prospective audiences timelines is increasing, CPM ( the cost of people seeing the content you share on Facebook ) has increased by 171%, and CPC ( how much it costs to get people over to your website ) has increased by 130%.
However, if you have knowledge of your industry, or book topic, sharing that on Facebook, or even using some basic SEO tactics to write blogs can go a long way.
Here's some tactics that you can utilize here.
Let's talk about my wife and I's yoga popup business and how we got 823 customer leads online on Facebook in just 2 months and this was from complete obscurity.
We spent $5,117.26 on Ads.
We generated 823 Prospective Customer Leads.
As you can see above, I have a passion for working with small businesses, just like you.
I've had the opportunity because of this to work with some household brands, and 100's of clients, and authorpreneurs like you, over the last decade.
If you are interested in working with me, so you can find out how you might be able to leverage an Amazon strategy to sell more books or to leverage your platform as an authorpreneur on Facebook, through SEO, or a content marketing strategy like this, this is how you can get started.
Click here. I've got a few questions I'd like to ask you to understand where you are, so I can understand where you are in your process.
Are you currently published anywhere?
Are you published on Amazon?
Are you a fiction or non-fiction author?
Takes a minute to fill out.
What Do I Gotta Do Next?
Please answer the questionnaire truthfully because if not, my analysis of your business might be off which means we might not be able to figure out how many monthly leads we can acquire.
If everything works out, and we are in alignment, hopefully I can take you on as a client.
Even if it doesn't work out, you should have some insights in just speaking with us.

DNA analysis to determine genetic impact of Japan's atomic bomb victims

HIROSHIMA – Hundreds of Japanese atomic bomb survivors, known as hibakusha, and their children are planning to undergo genome analysis to determine whether exposure to the radiation from the 1945 blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki has impacted health further down the line, a research facility said recently.
The study by the Japan-U.S. joint organization Radiation Effects Research Foundation, located in the two Japanese cities, will look into the DNA of around 900 families.
The study is also expected to shed light on the effects on those caught up in nuclear reactor meltdowns or with occupational exposure to radiation, and their descendants.
Previously conducted research has not found a genetic link between survivors' exposure and their children's risks of dying from cancer, developing lifestyle diseases or the likelihood of birth defects. And the researchers in the foundation's study say there is a low probability of finding serious gene mutations.
Nevertheless, "if we can get society to properly understand the risks, (the study) can reduce the anxiety experienced by those hibakusha and the second generation who suffer from discrimination and prejudice," RERF Chairman Ohtsura Niwa said.
There are an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 second-generation hibakusha in Japan alone, with some claiming illnesses caused by inherited health ramifications from their parents' exposure.

However, they are not eligible for the health care benefits provided for atomic bomb survivors by the state, due to lack of evidence that the parents can pass down ailments genetically.
In recent years, a group of second-generation hibakusha sued the central government for excluding them from the health benefits, claiming it is unconstitutional. Their case is currently being heard in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki district courts.
"I have friends who died young, and like other second-generation survivors, I have also lived in poor health," said plaintiff Nobuto Hirano, 73. "Although I have expectations for discovering the effects of radiation, I would be at a loss if I'm told there are none."
If a correlation is recognized, however, researchers face the challenge of communicating those results to both society and the second-generation survivors. Meanwhile, questions also surround the management of the provided genomes, considered to be the most personal information someone holds.
The facility will test approximately 40 families in which both parents survived the atomic bomb, and around 460 where just one parent was a survivor.

Another group of 400 include those with either both or one parent exposed to less than 10 milligrays — relatively small amounts of radiation the equivalent of the dose of people who were located in an open space 2.5 kilometers from the hypocenter in Hiroshima.
"Many who have experienced different types of exposure are worried about having kids," said Arikuni Uchimura, chief of the foundation's Molecular Genetics Laboratory. "We can provide them with information to make a choice, if we can determine how much or little risk there is to future generations."
DNA from blood samples collected after 1985 will be decoded using high-speed equipment, with permission from those still alive. The facility will look into specific health ramifications if any mutations are discovered during the trial, and will attempt to predict their effects on future generations.
"As scientists, we would like to respond to the expectations of the hibakusha, as they have provided blood samples in the hopes it would be helpful," Uchimura said.
Any mutations discovered in second-generation survivors' genomes could potentially lead to more discrimination toward them, necessitating delicacy when publishing the results of the study.
The RERF was first established in Hiroshima in 1947 by the United States and was then known as the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. The foundation collects blood and urine samples from atomic bomb survivors to study the effects of radiation.

The unique rasp like coralites and striking contrasting colors of the Acropora robusta catch the eye of coral reef enthusiasts without exception. It's interesting that this stoney coral is not often seen. This coral is very hardy and grows nicely in a captive environment if some simple rules are followed. The species naturally resides at the tops of the natural reef crests and is subject to very strong random flow and intense light. The failure rate of this species is high when speaking about survival in a captive environment and the closed systems that most employ when attempting this beautiful animal. This colony was grown from a small Bali cultured specimen and after some research, I placed it at the very top of one of my reefs where it would receive strong metal halide lighting and very strong random flow. After a few months of slow or no growth, I began to see some promise. Many small active growth tips began to form and to my surprise, the pigments then became very vivid and bright. I misidentified this specimen when it was small and believed it to be A. abrotanoides. As the colony grew and matured over a 4 year period, I began to see I was wrong. The A. robusta is that acropora you hear very little about. But I will do my part in introducing this beautifully rare and unique coral to the masses and try to raise awareness on the environmental necessities this animal deserves and needs to thrive.


The son of an Aizu Samurai, Takamine, pictured at right, was part of a small delegation of Japanese students sent to America in the 1870s to study teaching methods.
He boarded with the family of Professor Hermann Krusi and is reputed to have spent a night at Shady Shore as a guest of the founder Edward Austin Sheldon.
Takamine studied zoology at Oswego and Cornell University, and at Oswego he absorbed the Oswego objective method of teaching and the Pestalozzian principles fostered by Sheldon.
After graduation, he returned home to Japan, bringing with him these revolutionary methods.
In a letter to "father" Krusi dated June 16, 1878, Takamine writes that he shared Krusi's book on Pestalozzi with his principal at Tokyo Normal School, but the principal believed the "old curriculum — reading, writing, spelling, and number — is sufficient.
Takamine taught at Tokyo Higher Normal School, rising to the principalship of that school in 1879. He was also principal of theTokyo Art School, Tokyo Music School and Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School.
The Tokyo Normal School eventually became Tokyo University of Education, the forerunner of today's Tsukuba University. SUNY Oswego has a long-standing relationship with Tsukuba, and has participated in student exchanges with the Japanese university.

ASPERA-2: towards a sustainable structure for European astroparticle physics
7 July 2009 – Hamburg - Funding agencies for astroparticle physics celebrated today the official launch of ASPERA-2, a three-years programme funded by the European Commission, which the main challenge is to create a sustainable structure for the coordination of astroparticle physics in Europe.
Astroparticle physics is a new field of research emerging from the convergence of physics at the smallest and the largest scales of the universe. As the field develops, it is opening up new observing windows both in astronomy and in particle physics.
ASPERA-2 is the continuation of the very successful ASPERA programme, which one of the main achievements has been to develop the European strategy for astroparticle physics. This took the shape of a Roadmap published in September 2008, supporting the realisation of the "Magnificent Seven", the seven large infrastructures expected for the future to answer to some of the most exciting questions about the universe such as: What is dark matter? Where do cosmic rays come from? What is the nature of gravity?...
While ASPERA just launched the very first European common call for R&D in astroparticle physics, the ASPERA-2 programme will go deeper towards the coordination of astroparticle physics in Europe, with in particular a series of new calls and joint activities, and the establishment of sustainable common procedures.
ASPERA-2 aims also to extend the ASPERA network to all European countries with interest in astroparticle physics, comprising already 19 funding agencies and one associate partner from 17 countries, and the CERN European organisation. It includes developing transfer knowledge and technology activities and increasing synergy between astroparticle physics and environmental sciences.
Representatives of the "Magnificent Seven" experiments recognised the important role of ASPERA in stimulating the astroparticle physics community, bringing people together. ASPERA-2 will continue strengthening the young field of astroparticle physics and consolidate the leading role of Europe in understanding the secrets of the universe.

Hamilton hopes to avoid hit-man Verstappen in Texas showdown
Mexico City (AFP)
Lewis Hamilton hopes to steer clear of Max Verstappen at next weekend's United Sttes Grand Prix in Texas, where he aims to clinch his sixth drivers' world championship.
Like Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel who said he also concedes extra space to the Dutchman, Hamilton believes that when racing against the Red Bull driver there is a higher possibility of contact and an accident.
In the wake of his perfectly-executed strategic triumph for Mercedes in Sunday's Mexican Grand Prix, in which he made contact with Verstappen on the opening lap, Hamilton said he believed there was a higher risk of an accident while racing against him than others.
"Every driver is slightly different," said Hamilton, answering a question in the post-race news conference.
"Some are smarter and some are very smart aggressive. Some are silly with it..."
"Through those experiences with racing with people, you give some more space than others, but, yeah, (with) Max, it's very likely you'll come together with Max -– if you don't give him extra space.
"Most of the time you do. In my experience (in Sunday's race), I didn't have extra space to give him, but I don't think it was intentional. Nonetheless, I managed to keep the car in a straight line... "
Hamilton survived his brush with Verstappen to make full use of a well-judged one-stop strategy and claim the 83rd victory of his career and his 10th in 18 races this year, leaving him needing to finish in the top eight in the United States to take his sixth title.
Verstappen was chasing a hat-trick of Mexico victories, but undid his chances on Saturday in qualifying when he was punished for ignoring yellow flags following Valtteri Bottas' crash and then told a news conference that "it doesn't matter."
- Wide berth -
He was penalised three grid positions, losing pole position, and started fourth alongside Hamilton. The pair tangled and then Verstappen clashed with Bottas, who finished third in the second Mercedes. Verstappen suffered a puncture and pitted. He re-joined last, but charged through the field to finish sixth.
His surging and dramatic drive, packed with daring passing moves, was thrilling for his fans, but demonstrated why he is dubbed 'Mad Max' and given a wide berth by his rivals.
"He got a puncture from that," said Bottas of Verstappen's hopeful failed lunge to pass him. "I couldn't really avoid him. I think he earned his own puncture. Definitely... "
Vettel, who finished second, smiled as he listened to Hamilton's responses before being posed the same questions about Verstappen.
"Yes and yes," he replied, nodding his agreement with Hamilton's views. "Just copy and paste... It's true."
The four-time champion German smiled as he sat alongside defending five-time champion Hamilton with Bottas nearby.
Verstappen, 22, a victim of his own impetuosity, was hardly in any position to argue after an afternoon that demonstrated his crowd-pleasing skills but also left another dent in his reputation.


This RFC suggests stabilizing a reduced-scope Duration type that is appropriate for interoperating with various system calls that require timeouts. It does not stabilize a large number of conversion methods in Duration that have subtle caveats, with the intent of revisiting those conversions more holistically in the future.
There are a number of different notions of "time", each of which has a different set of caveats, and each of which can be designed for optimal ergonomics for its domain. This proposal focuses on one particular one: an amount of time in high-precision units.
Duration: an amount of time, described in terms of a high precision unit.
Period: an amount of time described in human terms ("5 minutes, 27 seconds"), and which can only be resolved into a Duration relative to a moment in time.
Instant: a moment in time represented in terms of a Duration since some epoch.
Human complications such as leap seconds, days in a month, and leap years, and machine complications such as NTP adjustments make these concepts and their full APIs more complicated than they would at first appear. This proposal focuses on fleshing out a design for Duration that is sufficient for use as a timeout, leaving the other concepts of time to a future proposal.
For the most part, the system APIs that this type is used to communicate with either use timespec (u64 seconds plus u32 nanos) or take a timeout in milliseconds (u32 on Windows).
For example, GetQueuedCompletionStatus, one of the primary APIs in the Windows IOCP API, takes a dwMilliseconds parameter as a DWORD, which is a u32. Some Windows APIs use "ticks" or 100-nanosecond units.
In general, this proposal considers it acceptable to reduce the granularity of timeouts (eliminating nanosecond granularity if only milliseconds are supported) and to truncate very large timeouts.
Timeout APIs defined in terms of milliseconds will truncate Durations that are more than u32::MAX in milliseconds, and will reduce the granularity of the nanosecond field.
A u32 of milliseconds supports a timeout longer than 45 days.
Future APIs to support a broader set of Durations APIs, a Period and Instant type, as well as coercions between these types, would be useful, compatible follow-ups to this RFC.
A Duration represents a period of time represented in terms of nanosecond granularity. It has u64 seconds and an additional u32 nanoseconds. There is no concept of a negative Duration.
A negative Duration has no meaning for many APIs that may wish to take a Duration, which means that all such APIs would need to decide what to do when confronted with a negative Duration. As a result, this proposal focuses on the predominant use-cases for Duration, where unsigned types remove a number of caveats and ambiguities.
/// billion or greater, it carries into secs.
When Duration is used with a system API that expects u32 milliseconds, the Duration's precision is coarsened to milliseconds, and, and the number is truncated to u32::MAX.
In general, this RFC assumes that timeout APIs permit spurious updates (see, for example, pthread_cond_timedwait, "Spurious wakeups from the pthread_cond_timedwait() or pthread_cond_wait() functions may occur").
Add, Sub, Mul, Div which follow the overflow and underflow rules for u64 when applied to the secs field (in particular, Sub will panic if the result would be negative). Nanoseconds must be less than 1 billion and great than or equal to 0, and carry into the secs field.
Display, which prints a number of seconds, milliseconds and nanoseconds (if more than 0). For example, a Duration would be represented as "15 seconds, 306 milliseconds, and 13 nanoseconds"
Debug, Ord (and PartialOrd), Eq (and PartialEq), Copy and Clone, which are derived.
This proposal does not, at this time, include mechanisms for instantiating a Duration from weeks, days, hours or minutes, because there are caveats to each of those units. In particular, the existence of leap seconds means that it is only possible to properly understand them relative to a particular starting point.
A duration in Joda-Time represents a duration of time measured in milliseconds. The duration is often obtained from an interval. Durations are a very simple concept, and the implementation is also simple. They have no chronology or time zone, and consist solely of the millisecond duration.
A period in Joda-Time represents a period of time defined in terms of fields, for example, 3 years 5 months 2 days and 7 hours. This differs from a duration in that it is inexact in terms of milliseconds. A period can only be resolved to an exact number of milliseconds by specifying the instant (including chronology and time zone) it is relative to.
In short, this is saying that people expect "23:50:00 + 10 minutes" to equal "00:00:00", but it's impossible to know for sure whether that's true unless you know the exact starting point so you can take leap seconds into consideration.
In order to address this confusion, Joda-Time's Duration has methods like standardDays/toStandardDays and standardHours/toStandardHours, which are meant to indicate to the user that the number of milliseconds is based on the standard number of milliseconds in an hour, rather than the colloquial notion of an "hour".
An approach like this could work for Rust, but this RFC is intentionally limited in scope to areas without substantial tradeoffs in an attempt to allow a minimal solution to progress more quickly.
This proposal does not include a method to get a number of milliseconds from a Duration, because the number of milliseconds could exceed u64, and we would have to decide whether to return an Option, panic, or wait for a standard bignum. In the interest of limiting this proposal to APIs with a straight-forward design, this proposal defers such a method.
The main drawback to this proposal is that it is significantly more minimal than the existing Duration API. However, this API is quite sufficient for timeouts, and without the caveats in the existing Duration API.
The caveats described above about some of the units it supports.
It supports converting a Duration into a number of microseconds or nanoseconds. Because that cannot be done reliably, those methods return Options, and APIs that need to convert Duration into nanoseconds have to re-surface the Option (unergonomic) or panic.
More generally, it has a fairly large API surface area, and almost every method has some caveat that would need to be explored in order to stabilize it.
We could also include a number of convenience APIs that convert from other units into Durations. This proposal assumes that some of those conveniences will eventually be added. However, the design of each of those conveniences is ambiguous, so they are not included in this initial proposal.
Finally, we could avoid any API for timeouts, and simply take milliseconds throughout the standard library. However, this has two drawbacks.
First, it does not allow us to represent higher-precision timeouts on systems that could support them.
Second, while this proposal does not yet include conveniences, it assumes that some conveniences should be added in the future once the design space is more fully explored. Starting with a simple type gives us space to grow into.
Should we implement all of the listed traits? Others?

How do I debug issues with Pulse Audio?
I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my machine. I have logged in as USER_A. My external audio device is a Headset and I was able to hear the audio properly.
I need to join my Ubuntu machine to a window's domain (my office server). I followed the steps explained in http://www.ghacks.net/2010/04/21/join-a-ubuntu-machine-to-a-windows-domain/ and was successful in joining my ubuntu machine to the windows domain.
Now when I logged in as USER_B, there is no audio for this user in the same machine.
I crossed check with my User_A account. There is no issues with the sound for User_A. Only for User_B, there is no audio.
When I checked the sound settings of User_B, there is no device listed in Hardware, Input and Output. Whereas for User A, my Headset is listed in Input and Output.
Can anyone please help me on this. Why there is no sound for User_B?
Can you please brief me a little more on how to 'Check whether users are added or not in the audio group'.
E: [pulseaudio] module-dbus-protocol.c: Starting the local D-Bus server failed.
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-dbus-protocol" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
This preliminary answer summarizes steps involved to debug sound available for one user only in an environment where domains were joined for this user. It may need be extended later.
In case we have sound for one user only we may have some bad configuration in this one user account's setting. We need to take the following steps from the affected user account to get further insights into the problem.
Is pulseaudio running at all?
There will be an error in case pulseaudio does not run. In addition this command takes care of stopping and respawning pulseaudio in case it hangs.
Are there wrong user settings for the pulseaudio daemon?
Are channels muted from ALSA?
A user in the audio group has exclusive access to the pulseaudio server. Other users can not access it while this user uses it. Therefore user should not be in the audio group.
Pulseaudio then uses default settings and starts it's daemon. We can also put this command to our Autostart Applications to overcome the case when pulseaudio fails to run before the desktop was loaded.
However then we (and our applications) will not be able to control pulseaudio using D-Bus.
on my Debian system, I was able to get this working after, on the advice of someone smarter than me, copying (as root) the $HOME/.pulse/ folder and $HOME/.pulse-cookie files from $USER_A to $USER_B, chowning them appropriately.
What causes audio device do disappear?
No voice on front headphone port.
No sound… How to re-enable pulseaudio?
How to start/configure pulseaudio remotely with ssh?

A complete guide to Batasia Loop in Darjeeling
A famous tourist attraction, Batasia Loop is part of the famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in the state of West Bengal. Its popularity among visitors lies in its beauty and uniqueness. At Batasia Loop, the railway track makes a spiral bend and then the toy train enters a tunnel.
Where is Batasia Loop?
One of the greatest engineering feats, Batasia Loop lies almost 5 kilometers from Darjeeling town. Part of the toy-train track between Darjeeling and Ghoom, it was constructed by the British to counter the sharp descent that happens just after the train crosses Ghoom, the highest railway station. As the train completes the circular loop, it descends 140 feet and crosses its own track through a tunnel below. Located on Hill Cart Road, the Batasia loop is situated at an altitude of 7000 meters from sea level. It houses a garden that is 50000 square feet covered with grass and beautified with seasonal and perennial flowers and shrubs.
Why visit Batasia Loop?
First and foremost, Batasia Loop is a treat for the eyes. The stunning visual landscape with the backdrop of snowy mountains sure leaves a person in awe of the beauty of the place. The word 'batasia' literally, means an airy space. If you are looking for a weekend gateway to unwind yourself, then Batasia Loop is a perfect place to rejuvenate in the lap of nature surrounded by snow-clad mountains.
Things to do at Batasia Loop
As one walks through the sprawling garden around which the rail track is laid, a spectacular panoramic view is witnessed with the Darjeeling town on one side and the snow-covered peaks of the Eastern Himalayas on the other. The magnificent view of Batasia Loop can also be enjoyed by sitting in the peaceful and serene environment of the garden. You can take a stroll around the loop to complete the one spiral which is an exciting experience.
You can see the war memorial that was built in the year of 1995 at the center of Batasia Loop to honor the Gorkha soldiers who laid down their lives for the independence of our country. A cenotaph built next to a 3-meter-high statue of a Gorkha soldier has the roll of honor of the soldiers along with the dates.
There is an Eco Garden at Batasia Loop which houses many species of rare plants and flowers. It is an exciting tourist attraction as you get to know unique information.
As you cross the exit area, you will find a local market just outside the loop area. There are stalls of local relishes like shingaras and samosas. Stalls of bags, hats, and other decorative items are there.
How to reach Batasia Loop?
Batasia Loop can be reached by boarding the toy train from Darjeeling town. Generally, the toy train from Darjeeling runs twice a day while during tourist season it may run four times a day. By road, it takes around 20 minutes to reach Batasia Loop from Darjeeling town via National Highway 55. You can board a taxi or bus. You can visit Batasia Loop from 5 am to 8 pm any day of the week. The entry fee is INR 15/- per person.
If you want to wake up to the stunning view of Batasia Loop then your first and best choice is Anutri Hill Resort. Located at Upper Batasia, Anutri Hill Resort offers a panoramic view of the gorgeous Kanchenjunga on the right and the majestic Batasia Loop on the left.
