Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as a resting mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 25 mmHg. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies PH into five categories. The WHO nomenclature assumes shared histology and pathophysiology within categories and implies category-specific treatment. Imaging of the heart and pulmonary vasculature is critical to assigning a patient's PH syndrome to the correct WHO category and is also important in predicting outcomes. Imaging studies often reveal that the etiology of PH in a patient reflects contributions from several categories. Overlap between Categories 2 and 3 (left heart disease and lung disease) is particularly common, reflecting shared risk factors. Correct classification of PH patients requires the combination of standard imaging (chest roentgenograms, ventilation-perfusion scans, echocardiography, and the 12-lead electrocardiogram) and advanced imaging (computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography). Despite the value of imaging, cardiac catheterization remains the gold standard for quantification of hemodynamics and is required before initiation of PH-specific therapy. These cases illustrate the use of imaging in classifying patients into WHO PH Categories 1-5.
Keywords: CREST; Eisenmenger's syndrome; late gadolinium enhancement; pulmonary artery acceleration time; pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis; pulmonary veno-occlusive disease; right ventricular hypertrophy.

If you read the title and didn't think it was possible, then prepare to be amazed. This shipping container creates artificial clouds and then converts them into real, drinkable water. Created by Skysource, the WEDEW system is an energy-efficient technology developed for the process of harvesting fresh, drinkable water from the surrounding air.
The system was designed by a team lead by US-based architect, inventor, educator, and founder of Studio Of Environmental Architecture, David Hertz and has been making waves since it's unveiling. The innovative and ingenious system has garnered a lot of positive attention, even going so far as winning the recent Water Abundance XPRIZE, a two-year development competition to find the best system of atmospheric water generation, at the end of 2018.
Described by the Skysource website as being "a versatile, self-contained, sustainable energy-water generator," The WEDEW system "converts biomass into essential human resources while sequestering would-be greenhouse gases into the ground." WEDEW, standing for "Wood-to-Energy Deployable Emergency Water," the system superheats plant matter and then converts it into electricity and hot humid air. The hot, humid air functions like a manufactured cloud that can then be converted into drinking water by adding cold air to create condensation.
The WEDEW system can generate roughly 2,000 liters of water per day. The carbon-negative system has 100 percent renewable energy source and is expected to be used to help drought-stricken areas battle water scarcity around the world. What can't be done with a simple shipping container?

You average Joe may not be aware of it, but every day he is surrounded by parts that have been improved through one finishing process or another. Even fewer Joe's are knowledgeable about the great scientific minds, applying some outstanding chemistry, that helped build an industry committed to excellence.
For the past two years, Products Finishing Magazine has been shining the spotlight on these great minds by inducting contributors to the industry into the Electroplating Hall of Fame. The most recent Hall of Fame class consists of names such as William Blum, Henry Brown, Michael Faraday, Richard Hull, and Oliver Watts.
Each gentleman that was honored in the 2015 class used their understanding of chemistry to add value and reduce costs, shouldn't the same knowledge be applied to treat the wastewater produced? We believe Ecoat and Product Finishing businesses should expect the same value and cost reductions that drive the metals finishing industry.

Let's Finally Talk About That Mummy Trailer - Are You Not Entertained?
A little late to the party here, but late is better than never. The newest Mummy trailer dropped staring Tom Cruise himself and it looks pretty awesome! Universal is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Marvel and DC and launch their very own universe but full of the beloved monsters that we have all come to grow and love.
Tom Cruise's The Mummy will start things off for this monster movie universe and it looks like the jump-start this universe will need. The movie looks promising from what we have seen so far from the trailers, action packed and taking the Mummy back to its roots and this has a little horror vibe to it. It certainly looks like it's distancing itself from the early 2000s Mummy franchise staring Brendan Fraser, they were fun, but they certainly haven't aged well. Get it, aged well? That was a Mummy joke….
Moving on, the reason why I think this movie will be successful is biggest of its star. You don't go out and get one of the worlds biggest movie stars without a plan laid out for this monster universe and Tom Cruise just isn't saying yes to any old movie. He wants to be apart of something that will be successful and more importantly cool. So with Risky Business himself onboard, well so am I. It's also helped that I've liked both trailers that have dropped so far, and I just like Tom Cruise, the guy doesn't really do bad movies. Also Sofia Boutella looks awesome as the titled character, the Mummy. She was wicked in both Kingsmen and the latest Star Trek movie!
I'm very excited to see this film. Draws on some elements of the old, while still doing its own thing. That's a promising sign, I think.
Could not agree more! Hopefully this monster universe can get off to a great start!
Agreed. Tom doesn't do bad movies. He is the reason why I'm even going to watch this.

Ben Stiller & Christine Taylor Are Back Together 4 Years After Separating: It's Been 'Wonderful'
February 23, 2022 10:20PM EST
Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor have been pulling a Bennifer since 2000 and we didn't even know it! Here's how they rekindled their relationship during the pandemic.
Ben Stiller ,56, and Christine Taylor, 50, have pulled a Bennifer and are back together again! The Zoolander actor revealed he got back together with his estranged wife. Believe it or not, the quarantine is what rekindled their romance. Ben explained that he moved back in with Christine and their kids Ella Olivia Stiller, 19, and Quinlin Dempsey Stiller, 16 during the coronavirus pandemic and that's when their feelings for each other came back.

"Then, over the course of time, it evolved," Ben told Esquire of their blossoming romance."We were separated and got back together and we're happy about that. It's been really wonderful for all of us. Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic." The actor-producer explained that he's confident that their relationship will go the distance this time around and explained why they just work.
"I think we have a respect for the ways that we're similar and the ways we're different. And I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you're not trying to get them to change for you. Once you accept that, you save a lot of energy," he continued. Their rekindling comes after the pair got separated in 2017. The two had split after 17 years of marriage.

But their split, even at that point, didn't seem final to fans. They were spotted holding hands at the Pretty Woman musical in 2018 and posed on the red carpet together for the Emmys in 2019, leading fans to believe they may get back together at any moment. They then were forced to lay low because of the pandemic but it turns out that's what ended up bringing them back together.
The couple first met in 1999 while filming an unaired pilot called Heat Vision and Jack. While the pilot wasn't a hit, their connection was and they got married on May 13, 2000 in a romantic Hawaiian wedding. Two years later, they welcomed their daughter Ella and their son Quinlin came three years later in 2005.

The Tabon Caves, dubbed as the Philippines' Cradle of Civilization, are a group of caves located on Lipuun Point, north of Quezon municipality, in the south western part of the province of Palawan on Palawan Island, in the Philippines. They are part of the Lipuun Point Reservation, which has been protected by the government of the Philippines as a museum reservation to protect the caves and immediate vicinity from deforestation and to preserve the cultural artifacts present there.

The caves are named after the Tabon scrubfowl. It is bordered on the south by the town proper of Quezon, Panitian on the west, and the South China Sea on the north and east. Out of 215 known caves, 29 have been explored and seven  of these are open to the public. The seven  include Tabon, Diwata, Igang and Liyang Caves. One of the oldest human bones found in the Philippines, the Tabon Man,  was found here in 1962. Other excavated, unexamined remains are stored onsite. In 2006, the Tabon Cave Complex and all of Lipuun was added to the tentative list of the Philippines for future UNESCO World Heritage Site nomination.

The complex is managed by the National Museum and was declared as a National Cultural Treasure by the same institution in February 2011.

Archaeological discoveries

The caves were researched by Dr. Robert B. Fox and a team from the National Museum of the Philippines between 1962 and 1966. The greatest find of was the skull cap of the Tabon Man.  It is believed to be approximately 22,000-24,000 years old. The team found over 1,500 burial jars.  One jar in particular, the Manunggul Jar, is considered to be a National Cultural Treasure. Other finds included earthenware, jade ornaments and jewelry, many stone tools, animal bones, and human fossils dating back to 47,000 years ago, the earliest human remains found in the Philippines. The archaeological finds indicate habitation from 50,000 to 700 years ago.  The limestone formations in the reservation date back 25 million years to the Lower Middle Miocene Period.

The Lipuun Point Reservation, covering a  island connected to the Palawan mainland by a mangrove forest, was declared a Site Museum Reservation in April 1972 and was made a priority site for tourism development in 1991 for its natural and cultural heritage.

In recent years, verification of facts in addition to further analysis of previously collected samples has allowed for a greater understanding of the site as a whole. Radioisotope dating techniques have been able to show a period of near continuous habitation from 30,000 to 9,000 years ago. Human remains as well as rock flakes, hammers, and other stone tools indicate the cave may have been used as a workshop. The bone fragments found in the caves have been suggested to have been from the late Pleistocene to early Holocene periods. Previous excavations of the site have also revealed evidence of a diet including pig and deer, which are extinct in the Philippines today.

While little new data is available because of the cave's location and safety concerns, they are slowly being excavated and the old data is being reexamined.  Approximately 25% of archaeological sites in the caves have been excavated.

Cave use
Earliest cave uses included inhabitation, and the factory like production of stone tools. According to a video by Dr. Fox, a jar burial period began 3000 years ago and lasted until 1500 years ago. This is evidence the area became dominated by people known as the Sa Huỳnh culture.

The Sa Huynh adorned their dead with agate, carnelian, and glass beads from India and Iran. Artifacts of this nature, including glass bracelets, were found in the cave and are displayed at the Palawan Cultural Museum in Puerto Princesa.

A migration of Sa Huyhn people to Vietnam is accepted by most experts to have been the forebears of the Cham people. These are a people still existing today that created an empire known as Champa.

History of the people in the area took on a new significance in modern times owing to the Spratly Islands dispute.

Igang Cave findings
Igang is one of the upper caves and one of the longest of the complex.  It appears to have been the primary burial site and most of the burial jars were found here.

Tabon Cave wall findings
Tabon Cave lends its name to the complex as a whole. In this large cave with a big open chamber, researchers found artifacts indicating trade with China during the Song dynasty and the Yuan dynasty. These are now at the Philippine National Museum in Manila.

College of Tabonology
In July 2015, Holy Trinity University in Puerto Princesa, Palawan was selected for the construction of a new college to studies of ancient Palawan man (Tabonology).
Nearly all active research stopped after Dr. Robert B. Fox died.

Security measures
The National Museum of the Philippines carefully guards the cave complex.  All visitors are watched to ensure they take nothing but pictures and do not damage the cave walls.  Further, all burial jars and remains have been secured.

One issue is that new research and exploration of the complex has largely ceased.

Mary Holt
Her story: For Karissa, being a wolverine is a family trait. She grew up on the University of Michigan watching football games and taking trips to Ann Arbor with her family. Both of her parents, as well as her sister, attended the University, so when it came time to pick a college, U of M was an obvious choice.
Karissa graduated from the University in the spring of 2018 with a major in neuroscience and a minor in interdisciplinary astronomy. Growing up, she always held a fascination for astronomy, so when one of her friends told her about the department's interdisciplinary astronomy minor, she was excited to be able to combine her two interests during her undergraduate career. She started taking astronomy classes and really enjoyed them.
Her time at the University: In terms of astronomy, Karissa is primarily interested in the exploration of Mars and other exoplanets, as well as the search for life elsewhere. During her time in undergrad she was part of a team that participated in the eXploration Systems and Habitation (X-Hab) Academic Innovation Challenge. In that challenge, her team was tasked with designing a space habitat and presenting their project to NASA. As the Safety Subsystem Lead, Karissa's main role was to create a risk matrix and make contingency plans for possible failures.
Even though Karissa's major was in neuroscience, her time at the University allowed her to build many valuable connections that helped her to see that astronomy could still be part of her career post-graduation. While attending the bicentennial True Blue event on campus, she met Michigan alum Michael Hess who told her all about his career in space medicine. That was the first time Karissa had encountered the possibility of pursuing a career that combines her passions of astronomy and medicine. After the event she contacted him on LinkedIn, and he has since been extremely helpful in making her aware of opportunities and resources in the field of space medicine that she can get involved with, such as the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA).
What's next for Karissa?: Currently Karissa is taking a gap year and working at the Steadman Phillipon Research Institute, a top orthopedic center in Colorado. While her intent is to go to medical school and pursue orthopedic surgery, she hasn't given up on her love of astronomy. "I'm interested in orthopedic surgery, but I also have a space medicine fellowship in mind for a few years down the road."
Her advice for future students: While Karissa's studies at the University primarily focused on neuroscience, astronomy was an important part of her college career and is still playing a part in shaping her future.
Her advice for students considering a degree in astronomy is simple: "It's always helpful to take some introductory classes and get the feel for it. The professors at U of M are very inviting and always encourage you to pursue your interests."

When I click the Grades tab, I get a list of courses I'm teaching, but I can't figure out what pattern Canvas uses to order them in the list. I would like it if my most recent (active) courses were on the top. But instead, my active courses are often scattered down the list among older completed courses or newer inactive ones for an upcoming semester. Right now I would like the gradebooks for my fall 15 courses to be on top of the list, but either a closed or future course (inactive ones) show up on top.
Note: This doesn't happen when I click the Courses tab. On that tab, there is an option to customize the list and I set it so that my most recent (active) courses are on top. But I don't see that option on the Grades tab.
Is there any way to reorder the course listings on the Grades tab so my active courses appear on top of the list?
When I view my Grades, I only see the courses that are currently active or future enrollments. Granted, it's not in the order I would like them to be in, but there are many places in Canvas where they don't specify a sort order. So, the quick answer is "No, you can't reorder them."
That said, my previous enrollments do not show up. That makes me question if your institution is using Terms and if they have an end-date specified that has already passed? The courses that show up in my Grades are only courses for terms that have not already ended. That includes the "Fall 2015" term and the "Default Term", which has no dates for our institution.
If I go into a course settings that is in my list and change the term to something already over, like "Summer 2015" that ended on "July 31, 2015", then it disappears from my grades. I tried leaving the term at "Default Term" and changing the end date for the course to a date last week and that did not remove it from the grades list. So it appears to be related to the "term" and not the actual date for the course.
You can check if a term is specified by viewing the Course Settings page: How do I set details for a course?
However, checking to see if a term has an end-date specified is probably something that you'll need a Canvas Admin to do as it's set at the account level from the site admin settings.
I considered whether or not a user script would work in this case, but there is nothing on the page to indicate whether or not the course is "active" or not. That means it would take an additional API call (possibly several) to get a list of the dates for courses and then sort them. That would slow things down every time you clicked on Grades.
I'd check into the terms thing and make sure they're getting specified. That may not be the solution as it still shows future courses, but it's the only thing I can think of at this time to help.
Re: On the Grades page, how are courses sorted? And can I change it, or hide courses?


The media creates our ideals for men and women's beauty. Many people strive for these ideals and want to have these ideal figures. However, always make sure that you are still eating a balanced and healthy diet. Dieting does not mean "not eating anything."


Building user interfaces for iOS requires lots of imperative code. As a developer, you create views, configure them, and add them to the hierarchy. You then have to implement callbacks to controllers, which in turn must change the state of your views. Implementing this two-way data flow, even for a simple UI, can be tedious and error prone.
At Facebook, we're very familiar with this issue. News Feed on iOS is a complex list interface, made up of a variety of row types, with each row having unique layout and interactions. Keeping the infrastructure for this complex list both maintainable and performant quickly became a difficult task, especially under constant iteration.
To tackle this challenge, we wanted a better abstraction. We drew inspiration from React and its functional reactive programming model for building UI and made a native, Objective-C++ library called ComponentKit which is now used to render News Feed in the Facebook iOS app.
Today we're very excited to announce that we are making ComponentKit open source!
ComponentKit takes a functional, declarative approach to building UI and emphasizes a one-way data flow from immutable models to immutable components that describe how views should be configured.
A hierarchy of components is a blueprint for how your UI should look. This blueprint is then taken by the infrastructure that renders it as a hierarchy of UIKit elements.
ComponentKit lets you focus on what your UI should look like, rather than on the steps necessary to build it, which is more common with traditional imperative approaches.
And finally add more constraints so that the views are positioned correctly and stacked together.
ComponentKit entirely abstracts the task of rendering UI on the screen away from the developer. This means optimizations can be performed in a single place to benefit all code that builds on ComponentKit. It performs layout on a background thread, creates the minimal view hierarchy to render the components on screen and has intelligent view reuse. This results in great scroll performance and a snappy system overall.
With less code to maintain, fewer bugs to fix, and more tests, we get to spend more time building awesome things.
ComponentKit has been used in News Feed for over six months in production and we are excited to push it even further. Today, we're open-sourcing ComponentKit to share with the iOS developer community the same productivity and performance gains we've had at Facebook. We are excited for you to use it and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
With ComponentKit we are rethinking how we build interfaces on iOS. We can't wait to see what you build with it.

"Peelers" – (Movie Review)
February 15, 2017 July 18, 2017 moviesforlife09Leave a comment
Two of the most celebrated ingredients in cinematic horror are flesh and blood. Peelers (2016), a wildly entertaining ninety-five-minute feature from director Seve Schelenz and writer Lisa DeVita (who also did the casting), submits this in gleeful excess. Such is most notable in the all-embracing structure. Schelenz and DeVita set the affair up in a semi-traditional manner. This transpires within the initial forty-minutes. These flashes operate as a collage of sumptuously staged and captivatingly shot strip show sequences. This is mixed in with an equal dose of slyly delivered character and story development.
Utilizing nearly the initial half of the film to revel in the formerly stated attribute could've easily become monotonous. It could've also slowed down the fluent, meticulous pace of the effort immeasurably. But, there is a range of certainly unique themes that accompanies these segments. Never once are any of these notions repeated. Such a decision helps save the undertaking from such a fate. These sections fuse with the aforesaid exposition seamlessly.
The consequence of such an action paints a more thorough portrait of the occupational lives of our leads. For many related entries in the field, this would be enough to sell the flick. Yet, Schelenz's project has a consistently successful wit. There is also an abundance of creative ideas coursing throughout the exertion. Not to mention, the progressive build-up of terror events unveiled in this section are just as effectively and organically administered as those stated above. For example, there is a memorable third act happenstance which incorporates these components. It involves our central figure, Blue Jean Douglas (in a charismatic and ever-watchable performance from Wren Walker), taking out an infected antagonist with a baseball. The brilliance of this bit, besides being a nod to her former profession, is that it is modeled after the conventional slow-motion sports-associated pitch commonly elucidated in movies. Much of the last fifty-five-minutes function just as well in this fashion. This is as the proceedings are crafted into an all-out parade of gore, grandiose fright and brilliantly honed humor. This is even if the configuration proves somewhat more engaging early on. Such is because of the method in with relationships bud and circumstances unveil in predictable fashion in the latter portion. Yet, the work never fails to be anything less than raunchy, low-budget fun. Best of all, it rarely resorts to artificial jump scares to punctuate its various episodes of intensity.
The narrative commences with an ominous and certainly attention-garnering scene. It transpires in a hospital. Over the course of its two-and-a-half minutes, the macabre allure of this piece establishes a jolting, though quietly eerie and foreboding, tone. Such becomes an early highlight of the venture. This is as it suggests the variety of great things to come. Simultaneously, it immediately begins to form questions in our mind as to what exactly we are seeing and why. It is a masterful foundation. Schelenz follows this up with a visually stunning arrangement that mechanizes just as triumphantly. There is a smooth marriage of music and sensual imagery augmented in this composition. Such particulars make the configuration play like a bravura inaugural extract of cast and crew recognition from an X-rated installment in the James Bond franchise. Moreover, LaLaa Love's body language expressive presentation as the dancer viewed in this unit compliments the sheer artistry at hand. Such creates the ingenious rhythm of alternating fear and sensuality upon which the design stands.
As the tale unfolds, we find manager Blue Jean quietly pining. It is her last day as owner of The Happy Hour. Such is the erotically charged club where the narrative solely takes place. A nefarious businessman known as Chromagnum (in an exhibition from Al Dales that spectacularly personifies the efficiently sinister rich man archetype), has bought her out. He intends on using the building to his own whims officially at the stroke of midnight. When a group of miners arrive at the area, it is soon noted that these individuals seem to be covered in a strange ooze. Striking up conversation with one of the laborers, it is discovered that this group believes to have struck oil. They also state that they are planning to go back tomorrow. This is to see if they can uncover more of the presumed liquid. Such explains their festival-like spirit. It is also cause for their reasoning for stopping at Blue Jean's venue. Yet, this scheme is abruptly halted. This is as the substance morphs these toilers, and everyone else in the building, into infected, zombie-like monsters who hurl black and green fluids. Such erupts moments prior to transformation.
Such is a simple, but surely intriguing, impetus for a chronicle such as the one Schelenz conveys. It is a fiction that garners supplementary points by drawing a definitive parallel to John Gulager's stupendous Feast (2005). This is in its general setting and zany, go-for-the-jugular demeanor. Furthermore, our protagonists are all likable and diverse in personality. Best of all, they are undeniably outstandingly etched. The antagonists are also exceptional. This is especially true when considering them as a masterful illustration of the collaborative contribution of the thirty-eight people who make up the effects team. Though the look of the undead is a bit conventional, a mixture of the dark eyes uncovered so habitually in modern cinema and the writhing ick of a similar opus from the 1980's, they are still an enjoyable departure. This is from the stiff and unimaginative veneer of so many mutants perceived in today's full-length provisions. Correspondingly, the method devised to slaughter these entities is both convenient and clever. But, what shines the most is the endlessly confident and stylish direction from Schelenz. DeVita's screenplay continues to assist and augment the quality of the attempt. This is primarily with credible, yet often hilarious dialogue. There is also a smart balance of the serious and the comic, the bold and the interesting inherent in the penned material. Such makes the predictably wicked intentions Chromagnum has with Blu Jean's edifice, which are exposed in the final twenty-minutes, quickly forgivable.
The doggedly skillful on-screen portrayals only boost these sensibilities. Kirsty Peters as Licorice/ Carla, Nikki Wallin as Baby/ Elaine and Victoria Gomez as Tina are excellent in their principal roles. Caz Odin Darko as Remy, Madison J. Loos as Logan, Cameron Dent as Tony and Momona Komagota are also fantastic. Rafael Mateo as Pablo, David Torres as Mario, Edwin Perez as Jesus and Andrea Rosolia as Panuche are just as phenomenal in their respective enactments. The same can be said for Manny Jacinto as Travis, Emma Docker as Aja, Rob Scattergood as Officer Karl Robinson and Katherine Blaylock as Officer Simone Lacey. Lauren Martin as Nurse and Megan Duquette as Nasty Nanda are also impressive in their brief turns. The secondary cast of bar patrons, cooks (Jason Mullen, Chadderton W. Thornton and Mike Hurley in slight, but transcendent, parts), a deejay (voiced by Tim Chisholm) and a waitress (in a magnificent demonstration from Tatyanna Prior) enrich this already layered endeavor. Additionally, Schelenz is scene-stealing in his representation of Officer Carter.
Schelenz also provides sharp and remarkable editing. The cinematography from Lindsay George is gorgeous and ever-immersive. Nikki Blais' costume as well as Todd Giroux and Schelenz's production design is authentic and inventive. The seven-person make-up squad offers terrific input. Vincent Mai's music, though evidently modeled after the conventional mechanisms of the genre score, is moody and unnerving. The art, electrical and camera, animation and sound department all afford an influence that is startlingly good.
Recorded in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, this Uncork'd Entertainment distribution and Pound (LBS) Pictures co-fabrication, is interminably delightful, amusing and relentless. It is everything audiences seek when searching for escape via celluloid. There are instances of intentional camp. But, it is not so much that it weighs down the wallop Schelenz packs when he yearns to subject bystanders to genuine shocks. This poise makes the sum increasingly well-rounded and easy to admire. The open to interpretation shot which arises before the concluding acknowledgments only adds to this category. Such is only a warm-up round for the astonishing mid-credits passage that is glimpsed later. When these become mutual with the last second jolt which finishes the photoplay, we smirk all the wider. This is as Schelenz appears to culminate the climax of his brainchild with another wholly new one. Such a radically over the top decision suits the overall attitude of the depiction beautifully. The title, an analogy that applies to the heroines as well as the overtaken, is just as perfect. When integrated, the outcome is an assuredly crowd-pleasing tour de force; a blood-soaked and ceaselessly engrossing reminder of why I originally fell in love with the genus of tongue-in-cheek revulsion. For those with similar affinities, this will prove to be one of the best movies of the year. I highly recommend seeking this out. You can do so when Peelers arrives on Video on Demand March 28th, 2017.

Q: How do I let a User choose from two different Intents? I have two intents that I would like Users to choose from.  One intent is for driving directions via Google Maps and the other is through Google Navigation (Beta).  This is how I set up each Intent:
 //regular maps
 Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                   Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=40.7143528,-74.0059731"));
//navigation
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
           Uri.parse("google.navigation:40.7143528,-74.0059731"));

I think I have to use Intent.createChooser() but I'm not sure how to implement it with specific intents.  I've used it before with email like so:
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send your email in:"));

where emailIntent is set up here:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

Thank you in advance!!!!

A: You can custom your Intent.createChooser to show only the Itents you want.
The trick is add EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS to the default list, generated from the createChoose, and remove the others Intents from the list.
Look at this sample where I create a chooser that shows only my e-mails apps. In my case appears three mails: Gmail, YahooMail and the default Mail.
private void share(String nameApp, String imagePath) {
    List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
    Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("image/jpeg");
    List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(share, 0);
    if (!resInfo.isEmpty()){
        for (ResolveInfo info : resInfo) {
            Intent targetedShare = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            targetedShare.setType("image/jpeg"); // put here your mime type

            if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().contains(nameApp) ||
                    info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains(nameApp)) {
                targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,  "My e-mail my-subject");
                targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,     "My body of post/email");
                targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(imagePath)) );
                targetedShare.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
                targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShare);
            }
        }

        Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "Select app to share");
        chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
        startActivity(chooserIntent);
    }
}

You can run like that:
share("mail", "/sdcard/dcim/Camera/photo.jpg");
In your case, just add to targetedShareIntents yours 2 Intents.
This was based on post: Custom filtering of intent chooser based on installed Android package name

A: You have to do it manually. createChooser opens a dialog with a list of apps that can handle one specific intent. On the other hand, what you have is two different intents... so just create a dialog with the two options. Take a look at this example.

A second key area where you are called to make a contribution is in showing concern for the environment. This is not only because this country, more than many others, is likely to be seriously affected by climate change. You are called to care for creation not only as responsible citizens, but also as followers of Christ!
Respect for the environment means more than simply using cleaner products or recycling what we use. These are important aspects, but not enough. We need to see, with the eyes of faith, the beauty of God's saving plan, the link between the natural environment and the dignity of the human person. Men and women are made in the image and likeness of God, and given dominion over creation (cf. Gen 1:26-28). As stewards of God's creation, we are called to make the earth a beautiful garden for the human family. When we destroy our forests, ravage our soil and pollute our seas, we betray that noble calling.
Three months ago, your Bishops addressed these issues in a prophetic Pastoral Letter. They asked everyone to think about the moral dimension of our activities and lifestyles, our consumption and our use of the earth's resources. Today I ask you to do this in the context of your own lives and your commitment to the building up of Christ's kingdom.
Dear young people, the just use and stewardship of the earth's resources is an urgent task, and you have an important contribution to make. You are the future of the Philippines. Be concerned about what is happening to your beautiful land!

Rajeev Masand – movies that matter : from bollywood, hollywood and everywhere else
Slow train
Filed under: Their Films — Rajeev @ 9:36 pm
Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Leslie Odom Jr, Derek Jacobi, Olivia Colman, Lucy Boynton, Tom Bateman
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Kenneth Branagh's film version of Agatha Christie's classic 1934 novel is a lavish but plodding affair. Murder on the Orient Express is directed by Branagh, and also stars the veteran Shakespearean actor as Hercule Poirot, the iconic Belgian detective character who featured in several of the author's stories.
This one is set on the famed Orient Express that's barreling across Europe with a disparate bunch of travelers, including an art dealer (Johnny Depp), his private secretary (Josh Gad), an American widow (Michelle Pfeiffer), a Russian princess (Judi Dench), a governess (Daisy Ridley), a devout missionary (Penelope Cruz), and a handful of others, among them Poirot himself. After the train is stopped by a rockslide on the tracks during a snowstorm, one of the passengers is found stabbed to death in his locked compartment. Of course it's up to Poirot to interrogate the dozen or so strangers to figure out who did it.
The film is crammed with stars, and yet the biggest attention-grabber is Branagh's oversized mustache that more or less wraps itself around the front of his face. It's incredibly distracting, and along with his clunky accent, reduces Poirot to a caricature. Branagh also fashions the detective as something of an action hero, giving him a gun, and more than one chase scene. Fans of the book, prepare to be outraged.
The film is extraordinary to look at, boasting exquisite production design, flashy camerawork, gorgeous costumes, and staggeringly beautiful European landscapes. But it's let down by a script that feels dated and verbose, and unmistakably flat. There's way too much talking, and not enough sleuthing, leaving the viewer easily bored.
I'm going with two and a half out of five for Murder on the Orient Express. It's a bloated but underwhelming adaptation that feels as creaky as the train's wheels. Such a shame.

The foldable Galaxy smartphone is expected to be made public at the upcoming Samsung Developer Conference.
Nothing else is derivative from the logo for now.
Samsung has been pulled into the limelight after internal leaks put out the details related to the Galaxy S10. Rumours have been also pouring in regarding the foldable smartphone that Samsung has been promising us for a few years now. Leaked information already says that it will have a form factor similar to flip phones of the yesteryears. And now, Samsung has confirmed the same — thanks to their updated logo before their Developer conference kicks off.
Prior to the Developer Conference slated to begin this Wednesday, Samsung updated their logo for all their social platforms. Through the new logo, they have teased the upcoming foldable Galaxy smartphone that we have been long waiting for. The logo suggests that phone will fold from the middle, similar to what the rumours have been describing until now. Nothing else is derivative from the logo for now.
According to leaked information from a Samsung insider a few days ago, the foldable Galaxy F is supposed to feature a dual display setup — a 7.3-inch foldable display inside and a smaller 4.6-inch non-bendable display on the outside. Therefore, you could be able to probably use the normal display while on the move and switch to the foldable unit when you want your canvas to be big.
The Galaxy F is rumoured to run on a specially developed software co-created by Google to make sure that the newer form factor gels well with the Android OS. There won't be an in-display fingerprint sensor due to technical limitations too. The Foldable Galaxy F is expected to be launched alongside the S10 and will demand a hefty price.
