Rated 2 out of 5 by smellyflower1972 from Product looks beautiful, issues with locks though I bought this to go in my kitchen and it was beautiful coming out of the box. Easy to put together until I got to the part where the locks didn't line up with the pre cut holes. Sending back.
Rated 4 out of 5 by RSB from Nice cabinet We just put together the 8 door cabinet. It took 2 of us almost 2 hours but it went smoothly. I suggest some words in the directions as opposed to just pictures. All the pieces and hardware were there. I like it alot.. We also glued some of it to make it more sturdy. I would recommend it to someone.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tabitha from An ok product Not as sturdy as expected for the price. Doors have about 1 plus gap between them. Wooden stems not long enough. Very easy to put together though."

Q: Deleting part of a strings-cell array This is my sample data (cell array)
>A_

'CUST_1627_PI425479659'   'Pri-miR-100u2'         'u2'
'CUST_2430_PI425479649'   'Pri-miR-L7a-3d'        'd'
'CUST_226_PI425479649'    'Pri-miR-3130-4u1'      'u1'
'CUST_1618_PI425479649'   'Pri-miR-147bu'         'u'
'CUST_1449_PI425479659'   'Pri-miR-107u'          'u'
'CUST_1546_PI425479659'   'Pri-miR-4299d1'        'd1'

The last one character or two last characters in the second column are written in the third column. I would like to remove them from strings in second column.
In a result it should look like this
>A_

'CUST_1627_PI425479659'   'Pri-miR-100'       'u2'
'CUST_2430_PI425479649'   'Pri-miR-L7a-3'     'd'
'CUST_226_PI425479649'    'Pri-miR-3130-4'    'u2'
'CUST_1618_PI425479649'   'Pri-miR-147b'      'u'
'CUST_1449_PI425479659'   'Pri-miR-107'       'u'
'CUST_1546_PI425479659'   'Pri-miR-4299'      'd1'

I tried in this way but it doesn't work.
s= {'u','u1','u2','d','d1'};

for i=1:length(A_(:,2))
    A_(i,2)= erase(A_(i,2),s)
end

A: Use regexprep to replace the occurrences of the third column in the second column with ''.
A_(:,2) = regexprep( A_(:,2), A_(:,3), '');

or to fix your code which uses erase (introduced in R2016b):
for k=1:length(A_(:,2))
    A_(k,2) = erase(A_(k,2), A_(k,3)); %You need A_(k,3) here
end

but... since erase is directly applicable on cell arrays, so you don't need a loop here i.e.
A_(:,2) = erase(A_(:,2), A_(:,3));

Q: Build an RPM for a specific minor version of RH I need an RPM built for a specific minor version of RH, so that it only installs on that minor version (ex RHEL 6.4) and not on other minor versions like RHEL 6.6.
Also when rpm/yum installs this pkg on a platform it was not meant for (RHEL 6.6 in the example above), the installation should continue for the rest of the pkgs to install.
I looked over /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc but I could not find anything that I can use.

A: With the rpm %pre script (see http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-scripts.html) you can check the system before the rpm installation (for exemple the /etc/redhat-release file). But I do not think you can do more than make the installation fail.
A possible way to just skip installation on unwanted system is to build the rpm in a way that the installed files are put in a temporary folder. Then the %post installation script can check the system version and if needed copy the file to the right location.
You'll have to make sure that the un-installation also behave correctly by using the %preun or %postun scripts.

A: You could put a Requires: for your redhat-release package, with a specific version, say, 6.4.
I'd check all the metadata for the redhat-release RPM, and see what's appropriate

Given to dependent random samples with the following results:
Population 1: 83,72,64,61,72,74,72,66
Can it be concluded, from this data, that there is a significant difference between the two population means?
Let d= ( population 1 entry)-( population 2 entry), use a significance level of a = 0.05 for the test. Assume that both population are normally distributed.
1. State the null and alternative hypothesis for the test.
2. Find the value of the standard deviation of the paired differences. Round to one decimal place.
3. Commute the value of the test statistic. Round to three decimal places.
4. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis Ho. Round the numerical portion of your answer to three decimal places.
Two dependent random samples are selected from a population and it is assumed that both populations are normally distributed. The level of significance for the test is α = 0.05.
The hypothesis test based on the data would be called a paired comparisons test. The difference between the pair of measurements is called di.
Part (1): Null and alternative Hypothesis for the test:
Denote μ1 as the true mean of population 1 and μ2 as the true mean of population 2.
Let μd denote the difference between means of population 1 and population 2. That is,
μd = μ1 – μ2.
The hypotheses appropriate for the test are as follows:
Null hypothesis:
H0: μd = 0; that is, there is no significant difference between two population means.
Alternate hypothesis:
H1: μd ≠ 0; that is, there is significant difference between two population means.
Part (2): Finding the value of the standard deviation of the paired differences:
The difference between each pair observations is obtained as,
di = population 1 entry – population 2 entry for the i'th pair of observations.
In Excel, put population 1 data in column A and population 2 data in column B, without using column headings so that first pair of data is on line 1.
In cell C1, enter the formula, =A1 – B1. This calculates the difference, di, for t...

In early 2006, my husband Gord Swan had gone to his doctor about a dry cough that wouldn't go away. When his doctor sent him for an x-ray, I remember thinking that his doctor was being overly cautious. After all, how serious could a cough be? Even after the x-ray came back showing a shadow on the lung, we did not entertain the possibility of lung cancer. Lung cancer was a smoker's disease and my husband had never smoked, nor had he been exposed to second hand smoke at work or in the home.
Not only were we shocked with the diagnosis of lung cancer, we were dismayed to learn that more people die of lung cancer than breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer combined.
During my husband's cancer journey, we experienced firsthand the stigma that goes with lung cancer. We found ourselves explaining repeatedly to health care professionals and others that no, my husband did not smoke, he had never smoked.
I am dismayed by the lack of awareness of lung cancer. Most people I talk to are still surprised to learn that lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in Canada.
I've also come to realize that no one deserves to get lung cancer, regardless of whether they currently smoke, used to smoke or have never smoked. We need to overcome the stigma associated with lung cancer and ensure that it gets the attention – and the research funding – it deserves. It's up to us – the family and friends of those who have been struck by lung cancer – to make sure that happens.
My story does not have a happy ending. Despite undergoing aggressive chemo and radiation in the summer of 2006, we found out in late 2007 that Gord's cancer had spread to his bones. He passed away a short time later. The odds were against him – 85% of lung cancer patients don't make it to the five-year mark. Perhaps if he'd got that cough checked out earlier. Perhaps if we'd known more about lung cancer.
I'm telling my story in the hopes that others will read it and become more aware about lung cancer.

IGW's role in creating a greener world
Global warming has come to a crucial point for the world to act. We have come a long way already, but we still have a long way to go. Green solutions like solar plants and wind turbines are great, but they are subject to the ideal weather conditions. Say there was a way to store energy when production capacity is at its peak? Then we say no challenge is too great! Wonder how IGW plays a crucial role in this challenge? Let us guide you through the exciting project of our customer: Atlas Copco Gas & Process Division (GAP) and their customer Stiesdal.
Atlas Copco GAP and Stiesdal started an interesting collaboration. Stiesdal is a company that is devoted to industrializing and commercializing technologies with a high impact on the climate, whereas Atlas Copco GAP is a leading provider of integrally geared centrifugal compressor. A match made in heaven!
Both parties have started a project in search for storage solutions. Storage is an important factor in the road to a climate neutral society. For example, wind energy production is not always at it's peak, because it needs the ideal weather conditions. Therefore, the energy consumption needs do not always match the production capacity. On other times, production capacity exceeds the consumption needs. That is exactly why storing energy would be a game changer.
Stiesdal and Atlas Copco GAP realized that energy storage is the missing link in the green transition. The way to do it? Thermal energy storage. How it works is basically as follows: energy is stored as heat and cold in crushed rock, stored in insulated tanks and this for a mid term period which means from few hours to a few weeks. By circulating compressed air through the reservoirs, charging and discharging is done by transferring heat between rocks and air. This way, energy suited for industrial manufacturing can be stored and used when needed.
The GridScale system
GridScale is a pumped heat energy storage system. This system works by converting excess electricity into heat at high temperature, up to 600 °C , and storing the heat in crushed rock. In other words: charging and discharging. The charging system is configured as a heat pump, with compressors and turbines pumping heat energy from one or more storage tanks filled with cool stones to a corresponding number of storage tanks filled with crushed rock.
The discharging system is configured as a gas turbine, with compressors and turbines releasing the heat energy from the hot tanks to the cold tanks.
The charge-discharge system comprises one compressor-turbine system for charging and another similar but differently dimensioned system for discharging.
The compressors are based on a well-proven design and technology from Atlas Copco GAP.
Measurement of pinion
That is where IGW comes in!
Thanks to our years of experience and know-how of manufacturing complex gears, we are able to deliver the gears that are used in the integrally geared compressors of Atlas Copco GAP. Due to the extremely high quality of the gears we provide, the integrally geared compressor has an extended lifetime. This brings the total cost of ownership drastically down.
For the moment, IGW recently delivered the prototypes. An initial series test batch will be built starting in the second quarter of 2022 and full production with exposure to international markets is already foreseen for 2023.
We are keen to see the further development of this green system and are proud to be a part of solutions that help create a greener world.
BMT shows token of appreciation!

United Airlines starting paid apprenticeship program for aircraft technicians
David Zalubowski/AP
FILE - A United Airlines jetliner lifts off from Denver International Airport on June 10, 2020.
United Airlines is launching a new 36-month apprenticeship program that will pay people to learn how to become aircraft technicians.
The first class will begin training next week in Houston. Other classes across the country will follow, United said in a statement.
United plans to train more than 1,000 people by 2026.
It will begin accepting external applications in early 2023.
In addition to growing the field, United said it wants to add diversity to the industry. The goal is for each class to be at least half women or people of color.
"This program will provide life-changing opportunities, help to diversify our workforce and give us access to an even bigger pool of talented, qualified, motivated people," said Rodney Luetzen, United's vice president of Line Maintenance.
United says it currently employs about 9,000 aircraft maintenance technicians worldwide. At the top of their pay scale, United says they earn $140,000 in wages and benefits a year.


Cataract is a common but treatable cause of visual loss where the natural lens of the eye becomes clouded. Cataracts can be caused by injury, certain medications, illness (such as diabetes), prolonged exposure to ultraviolet, and smoking. Millions of people including more than half of Americans over the age of 65 are affected by cataracts. Vision in patients with early cataract can often be improved with a change in eye glass prescription, though, as the cataract progresses, cataract surgery is the only option for visual rehabilitation.
Cataract surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically performed on an out- patient basis using local anesthesia. Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy natural lens of the eye with a clear artificial lens known as an intraocular lens (IOL). Dr. Greco performs small- incision cataract surgery called phacoemulsification, also known as phaco surgery. Through small incisions in the eye, special instruments are used to deliver ultrasound power to break up the crystalline lens and remove it from the eye. Usually, an acrylic or silicone lens is then inserted in the eye to replace the cataract. This leaves the eye with a normal power at the end of the surgery. Because of its small size, the incision usually does not require a stitch.
The Alcon LenSx laser® is a femtosecond laser that improves the precision and the safety of Cataract Surgery. It is a highly customized procedure using advanced technology to facilitate cataract removal and to correct refractive errors with specialized intraocular lenses and laser-directed incisions to reduce astigmatism. This can greatly reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery. In addition, patients experience quicker recovery and reduced inflammation post operatively. Contact our office to see if you are a candidate for Cataract Surgery with the LenSx laser®.
A wide range of lens implants are available to cataract patients each offering different advantages for post surgery vision. The most effective lens to use depends upon the patient's individual preferences and goals for their vision. The Premium IOLs reduce the need for glasses or contacts after cataract surgery.
Crystalens® is the only FDA approved accommodating intraocular lens. Accommodation is the ability to shift focus between near by and distance objects. Crystalens® is made with flexible silicon that has hinges on each side allowing it to change position in the eye slightly to adjust focus at different distances. This lens gives excellent distance and intermediate vision and good near vision. More than 200,000 crystaLenses have been implanted worldwide.
The Trulign Toric IOL® offers all the advantages of the CrystaLens IOL® for cataract patients with astigmatism. Eyes with astigmatism have an irregularly shaped curvature of the cornea or the lens which causes images to be focused in the front of and in the back of the retina resulting in blurred vision. The Trulign Toric IOL® can help cataract patients with astigmatism achieve more eyeglass independence after Cataract surgery.
Acrysof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL is a multifocal intraocular lens that provides excellent distance and near vision and good intermediate vision.
The Acrysoft® ReSTOR® IOL is the only IOL with patented apodized diffractive technology. Apodized diffraction provides the patient with an increased depth of focus.
The ReSTOR® IOL corrects for both cataracts and presbyopia.
Toric IOLs are able to correct varying degrees of astigmatism in patient undergoing cataract surgery. If you have astigmatism and cataract, Dr. Greco may recommend the Acrysof® IQ Toric lens.
Yag Laser Posterior Capsulotomy is laser surgery to correct the most common after affect of cataract surgery called posterior capsular opacification or PCO. When PCO occurs, the patient experiences a recurrence of the visual difficulties that precipitated the original cataract surgery. During cataract surgery, the clouded lens in the eye is removed from the capsule and is replaced with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens or IOL. Weeks, months, and even years after the surgery, some patients may again experience diminished or abnormal vision. This may result if the lens capsule has become cloudy or wrinkled. When visual difficulties become too intrusive in daily life, a Yag Laser Posterior Capsulotomy can be performed on a outpatient basis to restore vision.


It was almost impossible not to see the giant billboard with the red background and huge white letters that shouted: "This year thousands of men will die from stubbornness." Later I learned that the billboard was one of hundreds just like it targeted at middle-aged men who typically avoid routine medical screenings and often die from preventable conditions.
Psalm 32 deals with the spiritual disease of sin, which can be treated by honest acknowledgment and repentance. The first five verses express the anguish of hiding our guilt and then celebrate the joyful release of confessing our transgressions to God and being forgiven.
This psalm goes on to show that the Lord longs for us to seek His help in difficulty (vv.6-8) and receive His guidance. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye" (v.8). We are hindered, though, when we stubbornly refuse to follow His direction and repent from our sin.
God's Word urges us, "Do not be like the horse or like the mule, . . . which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you" (v.9). Rather than hold on to our sin, the Lord offers an alternative: When we humbly confess, His mercy shall surround us (v.10).

Euclid in the Rainforest is a Finalist for the PEN: Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction. Also, It has been selected as an Outstanding Academic Titles of the Year 2005 by the library journal "Choice."
"Logic as an academic and intellectual discipline can be overwhelming and dry. But writing with the general reader or undergraduate student in mind, Mazur (mathematics, Marlboro Coll.) successfully explores how mathematical logic and proof are essential building blocks to understanding knowledge and universal truths. In brief chapters, he draws on the philosophy and geometry of the ancient Greeks and incorporates historical vignettes and personal narratives to examine the three types of logic (classical logic, plausible reasoning, and infinity) that we use to determine whether something is true.
"This charming book radiates love of mathematics... and of life. Mazur (mathematics, Marlboro College) weaves elementary explanations of a wide range of essential mathematical ideas into narratives of his far-ranging travels. Trekking into the rainforest of Venezuela, conversing in a café (cafe) in Paris, touring the Greek islands on a luxury yacht, and other adventures--they all serve as backdrops to careful treatments of the Pythagorean theorem, Boolean algebra, non-Euclidean geometry, Zeno's paradox, the Law of Large Numbers, the Continuum Hypothesis, etc. Along the way Mazur explains topics such as the difference between mathematical and scientific induction and others of metamathematical nature. The chapter subtitled 'The Role of Intuition and Belief in Mathematics' illustrates his approach to mathematics as more than formulas and theorems by relating the human side of Jordan's travails when proving his Curve Theorem. Another example is his historical account of the quest to prove the Parallel Axiom.
"How does one summarize a book that is about rainforest adventures, probability, the Cafe Luxembourg, Euclid and prime numbers? This is an absolutely delightful book, full of insight, suffused with gentle humor--a picaresque novel of mathematics. What do we mean by proof and persuasion in the most symbolic of fields, Mazur asks, and responds with stories that effortlessly guide us to the heartland of reason. This is a fabulous book, in all senses, from beginning to end."
"Mazur has a wonderfully engaging writing style, and a marvelous feel for the interface between the physical world as we experience it every day and the mathematical one. The book is a pleasure to read."


Samford University's Brock School of Business students will have the opportunity to participate in two business plan competitions inApril: the Regions New Venture Challenge and the Ventures and Values Competition at Texas Christian University (TCU).
First, the Brock School and Regions Bank have teamed up again this year to host the fourth annual Regions New Venture Challenge business plan competition. Regions Bank has supported this competition since 2009 with both in-kind and financial contributions, and students will present their plans at the company's Birmingham headquarters during the final round of the competition on April 25.
Undergraduates, graduate students and recent Samford alumni are encouraged to submit plans for the competition. The teams with the winning business plans receive seed capital from Regions Bank to help fund their new business ventures, and several past winners have opened businesses in the Birmingham area.
There are two divisions for students to enter: the BUSA 100 Division is open to freshmen enrolled in the Brock School's World of Business course this spring and the Open Division is for other interested Samford undergraduates, graduate students, and recent alumni.
"A competition division dedicated to freshmen business students is unique to the Brock School's entrepreneurship program," said Howard Finch, Dean of the Brock School of Business. "In fact, we have received inquiries from universities across the country asking how we teach our BUSA 100 class. Training our students to write preliminary business plans and then putting the top teams through a full-blown competition their first year in college was one reason we were a finalist for a national entrepreneurship education innovation award last January."
The deadline for submitting business plans to the Regions New Venture Challenge is April 6.
Second, a student team from the Brock School will be competing in the TCU Ventures and Values Competition on April 19th and 20th. Each spring, TCU invites undergraduate student teams from universities around to world to participate in a unique competition for values-based business plans, which focus on balancing a company's financial, social, and environmental outcomes.
"We have several student teams interested in going to to the TCU competition" said Franz Lohrke, Brock Chair in Entrepreneurship, "Because of the increasing national recognition of our social entrepreneurship program, we've been invited to compete against U.S. schools like Wake Forest, Syracuse, and Loyola Marymount University as well as Monterrey Tech (Mexico) and Erasmus University (the Netherlands). We were the only team from Alabama and one of only three schools from the southeastern U.S. to be invited, and we're looking forward to taking our top team to TCU next month."
The deadline to submit a business plan for consideration to compete in the TCU competition is April 2.
Brock School of Business students, who write business plans focused on social entrepreneurship can enter their plans for consideration for both competitions.

Q: how to thin out adobe CS 5.5 I wan't to get rid of unnecessary files on my SSD HD.
Although I only checked Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat and Photoshop (and something iOs-related) while installing, Adobe has still installed a bunch of other folders/applications.
Which of the following folders can I safely delete?

*

*Adobe

*Adobe After Effects CS5.5

*Adobe Bridge CS5.1

*Adobe Device Central CS5.5

*Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5

*Adobe Flash Builder 4.5

*Adobe Flash CS5.5

*Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5

*Adobe OnLocation CS5.1

A: You could follow the instructions on this page at Adobe and uninstall the CS5 packages you don't need.
If you want to get rid of even more useless space, you could try Monolingual, which removes unneeded language resources.

Information about the Serafex species.
Many scientists uphold the theory that the Serafex's odd seeming wing markings are little more than a perfect display of eyespots, a common form of mimicry that serves as self-preservation in small creatures. However those that have seen them blink beg to differ.
Out of all the pets on this site, so far I do believe that this one is the weirdest.

Grand Bend, Ontario
Grand Bend - Our Stories, Our Voice
IRENE GILL (1977 interview by Sharon Johnson) spoken by Paul Janes and Mary Janes
Question: Miss Gill, I understand that your mother and father had one of the first hotels in Grand Bend. Could you tell me something about it?
Miss Gill: Yes, they had the Lakeview House. The Lakeview House had at first, twelve rooms. Later, Mr. Gill, being a carpenter, enlarged the hotel to twenty-nine rooms. The building was first a one-storey and then a two storey building. The main and large dining room and kitchen were at the front, but off to one side. The building was first frame, and later was partly covered with brick.
Question: Can you tell me some interesting things about the price of food, price of lodging and the kind of food most served?
Miss Gill: The price of a full course meal sixty years ago was 35 cents and $1.00 for a night's lodging. Almost every day fresh fish was served, because Mr. Gill was also a fisherman, so he caught the fish for the hotel. Such fish as whitefish, perch were used often. The fish was the most popular dish served, but the country sausage and roast pork were also served and delicious. Mrs. Gill was noted for her homemade Dutch apple pies and fresh cherry pies. There were also some cream pies served. Mrs. Gill was famous for her oyster soup. She made this every year for the United Church when they had their oyster suppers. We never served oyster soup at the hotel.
Question: There were some other places along Main Street. Could you tell me a bit about them?
Miss Gill: The famous Merry-Go-Round of Billie Elsie (now where Jack and Din's is located) was one of the family attractions. You didn't come to Grand Bend without having a ride on the merry-go-round. The rides were 5 cents each and you got a good long ride for your money. Other places were Mike Gratton's booth and groceries; J. W. Holt grocery store and Pollock's Blacksmith Shop.
Irene Gill Interview


MANAUS is the capital of the state of Amazonas in northern Brazil, once the richest city in South America due to its rubber industry. Situated in the middle of the rainforest, it was difficult to access except by boat or airplane. This isolation helped protect its nature as well as its culture, which, more than any other urban area of Brazil, preserves the habits of the Native Brazilian tribes. Manaus is the hub of tourism for the rivers, jungle lodges and river cruises, and is the main entrance to the Brazilian Amazon. Few places in the world abound in such a richness of plant, bird, insect, and fish life. The Amazon represents half of the planet's remaining rainforests and home to more than one-third of the world's species. Visitors can explore the riverbanks and streams, swim and canoe in placid lakes or simply walk in the lush forest.
ALL TRANSFERS, TOURING AND SIGHTSEEING ARE BY PRIVATE CAR WITH A PRIVATE GUIDE IN RIO & MANAUS, ALL SERVICES ARE ON A SHARED BASIS IN THE AMAZON.
All rates are per person, based on double occupancy. Extra nights and triple occupancy available upon request. Rates are not valid during Certain Holidays and blackout periods. Visa to Brazil is required for US Citizens.
Local Brazilian Departure taxes, local airport taxes, beverages, personal expenses and other items not mentioned above are not included.


Going paperless in government to citizen services is the norm everywhere in the world and India has taken enough strides over the last 15 years to show its intentions. Not only does going digital makes the whole process transparent but is also meant to speed up service delivery to the common man. So, no matter how elementary the service requirement it does not come as a surprise when you find even your neighbourhood local government office going digital in offering services. It was with this belief that I began one such digital journey for obtaining a certificate from the local SDM office in my neighbourhood. The Government of Delhi launched an eDistrict portal more than a year back encouraging citizens to apply for basic services, which in the past required a visit to the local SDM office and some greasy palms.
The journey begins by creating an account on the portal alongwith relevant document uploads. Now once you open up an application form to apply for a service, the promise of digital nirvana ends and the ordeal begins. After filling up all the text boxes, you are informed about the requirement to upload a certain type of document, an affidavit in my case. You cannot proceed further unless you have a scan of that document ready with you. And BTW there's no provision to save the work already done. So there you go, to get the document prepared from a Notary. When you come back and repeat the previous process, you are enlightened with the need to limit the scan size of any document to 100 KB. So there you go again, try grayscale, a scan with barely legible words, whatever. But the bigger challenge is that the 100 KB restriction applies even when there are two pages to upload. And BTW those two pages have to be combined to make one file. You can't upload two separate two. If you are able to get through all this, you still need to take the printout of the acknowledgement and get your documents verified at the office but go there only if you've not missed a bit anywhere during the upload process. In case you did, there's no offline support at hand. Go back and do not come back till you have sorted all pieces!
Seeing no immediate respite, I requested to submit an application in paper. 'Sorry sir, you can't do it unless your online application is first rejected,' pat came the reply. And no the clerk sitting at the window does not have the power to do so. So, bide your time till you receive a message announcing the rejection of your application. Once you do, you have two options: either apply online again or go there and apply on paper with all supporting docs in place. I followed the latter and am relieved, as at least it works in India much better! Here's raising a toast for Digital India of the future!

Retromandibular area and proximal deep neck dissection, left side. Skin, superficial fascia, and the parotid gland have been removed on the face and neck to reveal underlying structures. These include the masseter muscle covering the ramus of the mandible and subcutaneous fatty tissue containing some muscles of facial expression anterior to it. In the lower retromandibular region the external carotid artery can be seen ascending through the parotid gland, which has been removed. Near the angle of the mandible it gives rise to the facial artery which first courses deep to the submandibular gland (removed) before emerging onto the face just anterior to the attachment of the masseter muscle to the mandible (see unlabeled cross-sectional profile of the vessel in the superficial fascia). Below the body of the mandible is the submandibular triangle bounded by this bone and the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscles (posterior digastric has been removed). The floor of this triangle is formed by the hyoglossus (posteriorly) and mylohyoid (anteriorly) muscles. The principal content of this triangle is the submandibular gland (removed). Between the right and left anterior digastric muscles and body of the hyoid bone is the unpaired submental triangle whose floor is the mylohyoid muscle. Inferior to the body of the hyoid are the infrahyoid muscles (in the muscular triangle) consisting here superficially of the sternohyoid and superior belly of the omohyoid, and the underlying thyrohyoid muscle. The latter muscle partially covers the thyrohyoid membrane into which passes the superior laryngeal artery and internal laryngeal nerve to supply the upper part of the laryngeal interior. The inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle is shown as well before it attaches anterolaterally to the thyroid and cricoid cartilages of the larynx. The superior thyroid artery descends on the muscle enroute to the thyroid gland. In the lateral neck the internal jugular vein has been cut to reveal the common carotid and internal and external carotid arteries. The vagus nerve descends in the neck between the internal jugular and internal carotid vessels. The hypoglossal nerve descends deep to the posterior digastric muscle. Near the origin of the occipital branch of the external carotid it courses forward toward the oral cavity superficial to the hyoglossus muscle and then deep to the mylohyoid before entering the tongue where it provides motor innervation to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, except palatoglossus. The styloglossus muscle can be seen entering the superolateral border of the tongue where it interdigitates with the hyoglossus. Near the origin of the external carotid artery on its medial border can be seen the ascending pharyngeal artery. Removal of the sternocleidomastoid muscle exposes the anterior scalene muscle. In addition, removal of deep neck musculature has exposed the suboccipital muscles, obliquus capitis inferior and superior and rectus capitis posterior major. A portion of the vertebral artery is shown before it enters the transverse foramen of the atlas. It is crossed superficially by the ventral ramus of the C2 spinal nerve. Cut stumps of ventral rami of C3 and 4 spinal nerves are also visible. The greater occipital nerve, the dorsal ramus of C2, emerges from the lower border of obliquus capitis inferior. A portion of the skull and meninges have been removed to expose the cerebellum, sigmoid sinus, and superior petrosal vein. (Image courtesy of PA Rubino)

Democrats continue to push for mail-in voting, although many believe it's perfectly safe to vote in person. President Trump continues to fight to ensure traditional voting is safe and orderly.
This is especially critical in swing states, including Iowa.
Well, a judge just made a major ruling on absentee ballot requests that could affect the election:
A county judge in Iowa on Thursday invalidated 50,000 requests for absentee ballots, agreeing with the Trump campaign's legal argument that a local election official was not authorized to send voters absentee ballot request forms that were pre-filled with their personal information.
A judge ruled that Linn County Auditor Joel Miller violated a directive when he planned to send out 50,000 absentee ballot requests already filled out with voters' names. The judge ordered that blank ballots requests must be sent out instead.
It appears that, by sending out request forms already filled out, it would make fraud easier. Anyone that got their hands on these forms could request a ballot, even if they were not the person on the form.
Obviously, when you fill out a form, you have to provide your own personal information. That ensures that you are who you say you are. But if the form is already filled out, then what's stopping someone from using that form to get their hands on your absentee ballot?
There appears to be no legitimate reason for this auditor to send out requests pre-filled out. Critics might try to accuse this man of making it easier for someone to wrongfully request a ballot. Even if that is not the case, the integrity of our election systems must be kept intact. The process by which a person can register to vote, request a ballot, and vote should be held to a high standard.
After it was learned that this auditor was preparing these ballot requests, the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee, and the Iowa Republican Party filed a lawsuit. It appears they were not going to let this potentially dangerous situation become a real problem.
A judge prevented an Iowa auditor from sending out 50,000 pre-filled out absentee ballot requests.
The judge ordered the auditor to instead send black forms, requiring residents to fill them out instead.
Prior to this, the request forms had all of the voters' personal information.

James Dunn, Senior Trial Attorney
Eighteen years ago, Mr. Dunn spoke to a jury for the first time. On behalf of "The People of California" through the Office of the District Attorney for the County of Los Angeles, in the City of Compton, Mr. Dunn asked that jury to convict a young man for domestic violence and brandishing a hand gun. Working as a post graduate law clerk for the L.A. County District Attorney, Mr. Dunn also prosecuted jury trials on charges of theft, drugs, guns, DUI (Driving Under the Influence), and auto burglary. He handled preliminary hearings and motions to suppress evidence on serious and violent felonies. After that initial courtroom experience, Mr. Dunn went on to clerk for the Hardcore Gang Unit in both Compton and at the main courthouse downtown. There he worked under Michael Genelin who developed many of the anti-gang policies, strategies, and tactics used throughout the nation today.
One of the lessons taught by senior Deputy District Attorneys is this: nobody tells you the truth. Witnesses have imperfect memories, victims are impacted by trauma, and police officers and detectives have their own agenda.
Upon completing his clerkship, Mr. Dunn began his private practice, and quickly developed a reputation as an aggressive advocate for his clients. While many attorneys are afraid to go to trial, Mr. Dunn has always loved arguing for his client to a jury of their peers. At this point, Mr. Dunn has tried over eighty jury trials. That's a level of courtroom experiences that very few private attorneys ever achieve.
Although 95%-98% of cases are resolved by settlement negotiations or dismissed on motions, it is still the jury trial that is the centerpiece of the justice system. As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offence. And you have the strongest negotiating position when the other side knows you're ready, willing, and able to lay out the facts to a jury.
When Mr. Dunn began to take on police abuse cases, also known as § 1983 or civil rights cases, he met his good friend and mentor, Michael Marrinan. Mr. Marrinan is a renown civil rights attorney and now on the faculty of the Trial Lawyer's College. Mr. Marrinan introduced Mr. Dunn to the Trial Lawyers College, founded by the greatest living trial lawyer, Gerry Spence.
"I feel like the Trial Lawyer's College taught me how to speak to a jury for the first time; from the heart, with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Most jurors distrust attorneys. They feel like we're just out to trick them—and too many lawyers justify that mistrust. Someone aptly described the American Jury as 'the greatest B.S. detector the world has ever known.' The only way to win with a jury is to find the truth in your case, love your client, and be fair to the witnesses and honest with the jury."
— James Dunn
Mr. Dunn stands by that philosophy in every case that he handles, whether it's a misdemeanor petty theft, a DUI, a sex crime with life-long registration under Penal Code § 290, or a serious or violent felony. It is one of the keys to his success.
Another aspect of Mr. Dunn's successful advocacy is the range of his abilities. Mr. Dunn fights for his clients on every level. He is one of the few trial lawyers who can also bring the fight to the appellate level. Mr. Dunn has won victories on writs and appeals in the Superior Court, at the California Court of Appeals, in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and his most famous decision, Brenner v. DMV((2010) 189 Cal.App.4th 365), was affirmed by the California Supreme Court. Brenner changed the law in favor of the arrested driver, and, thanks to the California Supreme Court's blessing, it is the law of the land in California.
Mr. Dunn furthermore shares his knowledge with other attorneys through Mandatory Continuing Education of the Bar presentations for the California DUI Lawyers Association. Mr. Dunn has also been honored by the California DUI Lawyers Association as a "Specialist Member" of the organization. Furthermore, he has been elected to the board of directors for the California DUI Lawyers Association and is serving on that organization's legislative affairs committee.
Mr. Dunn is admitted to practice in all courts in the state of California, the United States District Courts for the Northern, Central, and Southern Districts of California, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, the National Police Accountability Project, he attended the National College for DUI Defense in 2005 held on the campus of Harvard University, and is a Specialist Member of the California DUI Lawyers Association. He also has a 10.0 "Superb" rating on Avvo.
Dynamite Lawyer. He Won My "Impossible" Case
I had been kicking back with friends and drinking beer all afternoon. On my way home, I ended up getting into an accident. Nobody was hurt, but the driver of the other car called the cops. I was freaking out. My license was suspended at the time. My breath test was .21, and even Mr. Dunn told me my chances were slim to none. But at that point in my life, a conviction would have destroyed me. So I put my faith in Mr. Dunn and told him to take the case to trial. He was awesome. Not Guilty on all counts! He also won back my License.

i tried
Meteor.methods({
      'findCategory': function(name) {
        return CategoryCollection.findOne({
          name : name
    }, {
          fields: { 'name': 1 }

      }
    });

but i get the error.
Exception while invoking method 'findCategory' TypeError: Cannot call method 'findOne' of undefined
How can i return the document i need?
EDIT
Im using rest2ddp to call the json data and inset it into CategoryCollection
i also changed Meteor.CategoryCollection to simply CategoryCollection
server/main.js
REST2DDP.publish("CategoryPublication", {
  collectionName: "CategoryCollection",
  restUrl: "http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-json/wp/v2/categories",
  jsonPath: "$.*",
  pollInterval: 5000,
});

client.subscriptions.js
CategoryCollection = new Mongo.Collection("CategoryCollection");
Meteor.subscribe("CategoryPublication");
Tracker.autorun(function () {
  console.log(CategoryCollection.find().fetch());
});

A: you need to define
CategoryCollection = new Mongo.Collection("CategoryCollection");

server side and client side.

A: You are basically looking for "id" where "id" has not been defined.
Try passing the document's "id" to the method if you have it available:
Meteor.methods({
  'findCategory': function(id, name) {
    return Meteor.CategoryCollection.findOne({
      _id: id
}, {
      fields: { 'name': name }
    });
  }
});

If you are looking to find fields: { 'name': 1 } in any document then omit the first object { _id: id } section.
Meteor.methods({
      'findCategory': function(name) {
        return Meteor.CategoryCollection.findOne({
          fields: { 'name': name }
        });
      }
    });

Volume 15, Number 4July/August 1964
The Journey Of Henry Maundrell
For more than two and a half centuries a brief account of a brief trip through the Middle East has survived as a minor travel classic...
Written by Daniel Howell
At precisely three o'clock in the afternoon, on Friday February 26, 1697, the Reverend Henry Maundrell and fourteen companions mounted their horses and rode out of the city of Aleppo to begin what was to be an 83-day Easter pilgrimage to Jerusalem. It was not an exceptional undertaking; agents from the English Levant Company's office in Syria, to which Maundrell was assigned as chaplain, frequently made such trips at that time of year. But this pilgrimage was to be different, for it was to inspire the eventual publication of a small book of lasting importance, a book which today, 267 years later, remains a minor classic in the overcrowded archives of travel writing, A Journey From Aleppo to Jerusalem At Easter A.D. 1697.
The book, published and republished over the years and translated into at least three languages, began as merely a diary in which Maundrell recorded his observations as he rode across Syria to Latakia, down the Syrian and Lebanese coasts and inland to Jerusalem and the Holy Land, and then returned to Aleppo, visiting such places as Damascus, Baalbek and Tripoli. Maundrell had intended to circulate it among friends and perhaps win a measure of favor with his clerical superiors.
At that time, however, there was in England a surprising degree of interest in the Middle East and an equivalent lack of accurate information about it. Travelers were by no means rare but their published accounts tended to relate personal adventures or to express reactions and opinions rather than to provide information about what is surely one of the most scenically arresting and historically important regions of the world. Many of the previous travelers had shown a greater gift for poetry than for reporting with the result that the Middle East was seen through an unreal and frequently fanciful haze. Thus when Maundrell's diary, crammed with precise, factual information, began to circulate among his friends they quickly realized that here at last was one of the first factual accounts of the antiquities of the Middle East. Its impact was such that he was persuaded to prepare it for publication.
It is easy today to see just why Maundrell's book has retained a rather surprising measure of popularity during more than two and a half centuries; for Maundrell, unlike most of his contemporaries and indeed unlike many of the more famous travel writers of today, was basically a fine reporter, detached, cool and observant, with a passion for precise detail. As his small party made its way over mountains and plains, through rain and snow, suffering at first from the cold, later from the heat, Maundrell carefully recorded meticulous descriptions of castles, mosques, churches, fortresses, aqueducts, wells, rivers, mountains, plains and trails, each complete with measurements, directions, distances, colors, textures and weights. In describing the remains of an ancient castle in Tartus, for example, he wrote:
"On one side, it is wash'd by the sea; on the others, it is fortified by a double wall of course marble, built after the rustick manner. Between the two walls is a ditch; as likewise is another encompassing the outermost wall. You enter this fortress on the north side, over an old drawbridge, which lands you in a spacious room, now for the most part uncover'd, but anciently well arch'd over, being the church belonging to the castle. On one side it resembles a church; and in witness of its being such, shews at this day several holy emblems carv'd upon its walls, as that of a dove descending, over the place where stood the altar; and in another place, that of the holy-lamb. But on the side which fronts outward, it has the face of a castle, being built with port-holes for artillery, instead of windows. Round the castle, on the south and east sides, stood anciently the city. It had a good wall and ditch encompassing it, of which there are still to be seen considerable remains. But for other buildings, there is nothing now left in it, except a church, which stands about a furlong eastward from the castle. It is one hundred and thirty foot in length, in breadth ninety three, and in height sixty one."
This is the disciplined prose of excellent reporting, free of emotion, free of generalities, yet highly evocative, a quality that is evident on page after page. In commenting on the plains of Kefteen he described them as being of:
"...a vast compass: extending to the southward beyond the reach of the eye, and in most places very fruitful and well cultivated. At our first descent into them... we counted twenty-four villages, or places at a distance resembling villages, within our view from one station. The soil is of a reddish colour, very loose and hollow; and you see hardly a stone in it. Whereas on its west side there runs along for many miles together a high ridge of hills, discovering nothing but vast naked rocks, without the least sign of mould, or any useful production: which yields an appearance, as if nature had, as it were, in kindness to the husband-man, purged the whole plain of these stones, and piled them all up together in that one mountain."
The quality is evident too in his comments on Damascus. Of the houses there he wrote:
"Here you find generally a large square court, beautified with variety of fragrant trees, and marble fountains, and compass'd round with splendid apartments and duans (divans). The duans are floor'd and adorn'd on the sides, with variety of marble, mixt in Mosaick knots and mazes. The ceilings and traves (cross beams) are, after the Turkish manner, richly painted and guilded. They have generally artificial fountains springing up before them in marble basons; and, as for carpets and cushions, are furnish'd out to the height of luxury."
And of the famous Umayyad Mosque:
"...we had three short views of it, looking in at three several gates. Its gates are vastly large, and cover'd with brass, stampt all over with Arab characters... On the north side of the church is a spacious court, which I could not conjecture to be less than one hundred and fifty yards long, and eighty or one hundred broad. The court is pav'd all over, and enclosed on the south side by the church, on the other three sides by a double cloister, supported by two rows of granite pillars of the Corinthian order, exceeding lofty and beautiful."
Whether describing a castle near Baniyas as "built in the figure of an equilateral triangle having one of its angles pointing towards the sea," or carefully counting the "thirteen small arches" of the bridge over the Orontes ('Asi) River in Shoggle (Jisresh Shughur), Maundrell never varied from the pattern of precision, as if determined to invest every paragraph with pertinent information. Even in such briefly mentioned sites as that of the gate at which St. Paul was let down in a basket while fleeing Damascus, Maundrell explains that the gate was walled up then, "by reason of its vicinity to the east gate which renders it of little use."
This determination is particularly clear in his comment on the terraced slopes of Lebanon:
"Libanus is in this part free from rocks, and only rises and falls with small, easy unevennesses, for several hours riding; but is perfectly barren and desolate. The ground, where not conceal'd by the snow, appear'd to be cover'd with a sort of white slates thin and smooth. The chief benefit it serves for, is, that by its exceeding height, it proves a conservatory for abundance of snow, which thawing in the heat of summer, affords supplies of water to the rivers and fountains in the valleys below."
or in his description of the Dead Sea as:
"...enclos'd on the east and west with exceeding high at mountains; on the north it is bounded with the plain of Jericho, on which side also it receives the waters of Jordan; on the south it is open, and extends beyond the reach of the eye."
It could be said of course that Maundrell carried this tight, uncompromising approach too far. If in fact he merited criticism at all it would be that his writing was too disciplined, too impersonal. Throughout the book, for example, he never once identified any of the 14 bachelors who were with him beyond the impersonal, "we." It would not, on the other hand, be fair to say that Maundrell lacked either humor or wit. It is spare and restrained, to be sure, but nonetheless penetrating. In describing one of their camps he wrote:
"We were sufficiently instructed by experience, what the holy Psalmist means by the dew of Hermon, our tents being as wet with it, as if it had rain'd all night."
Another example occurs in his description of a meeting with an Emir who demanded "caphars," a kind of tax, from the party:
"...we arriv'd in one third of an hour at the emir's tents, who came out in person to take his duties of us. We paid him two caphars... and besides the caphars, whatever else he was pleas'd to demand. He eased us in a very courteous manner of some of our coats, which now (the heat both of the climate and season encreasing upon us) began to grow not only superfluous, but burdensom."
Nor was Maundrell's approach, even if admirably objective, totally without glimpses of him as a minister and as a man.
Such references as the Cedars of Lebanon being "remarkable as well for their own age and largeness, as for those frequent allusions made to them in the word of God," are clearly those of a man of God, as are his descriptions of Tyre as a city magnificent at a distance but lacking the glory "which the prophet Ezekiel describes" and whose fishermen he calls:
"...poor wretches, harbouring themselves in the vaults, and subsisting chiefly upon fishing; who seem to be preserv'd in this place by Divine Providence, as a visible argument, hozv God has fulfill'd his word concerning Tyre, viz. That it should be as the top of a rock, a place for fishers to dry their nets on."
In view of Maundrell's situation at the time of the pilgrimage it would have been extraordinary had certain unfavorable reactions not been reflected in his writing, for he was subject to numerous internal and external pressures. He was, for one thing, still affected to some degree by an unsuitable romantic attachment in England, the results of which had played a large part in his decision to accept the chaplain's post in Aleppo. He was, furthermore, a man in doubtful health (who was to succumb and die even before the book was published) and yet subject to the rigors of riding up to 10 hours a day in frequently inclement weather and over difficult terrain. He was a Protestant in a land openly hostile to and contemptuous of Christians, and in which the outlook of other Christians was completely different from his own.
These circumstances are reflected in an irritation toward the language and customs of those countries he visited.
For all that, Maundrell's criticisms are not significant. That there are traces of his own prejudices and the outlook of an Englishman of the 17th century is clear, but even they are marked with restraint or with irony and in sum add to, rather than detract from, the work as a whole, giving to it an essential ingredient of feeling that only heightens the impact of reality.
Despite the passage of many years A Journey From Aleppo to Jerusalem retains fresh appeal. Modern readers can find in it even now the qualities that have kept it alive for so long, qualities that were succinctly summed up by a subsequent traveler to the Middle East who relied heavily on Maundrell's work. It is, wrote that traveler, "a good and plain account of what we need to know."
David Howell, who spent four years in the Middle East with the British Council, annotated, and wrote the introduction for, a new edition of the Maundrell book published in March by Khayats of Beirut for its Oriental Reprint Series.

Inayat Khan (Sanjay Dutt) is a law-abiding officer who wants to irradiate Kashmir of its militancy. He leads a very happy life with his wife Neelima (Sonali Kulkarni) and his son, Irfan. The terrorists in Kashmir have issued a fatwa against any doctor treating a wounded police officer or a member of his family.
One day Irfan has a freak accident. Inayat Khan and his wife rush his to the nearest hospital. No doctor is willing to treat Irfan and this leads to his demise. Inayat Khan disturbed by the demise of his son plans an attack on a militant's hideout. While executing his plan, he kills the innocent parents of a seven-year-old boy, Altaf (Hrithik), who watches in shock the merciless killings. He survives, but the eyes of the masked policeman who shot his parents haunt him at night. In a bid to undo his mistake, Khan brings Altaf home to replace his lost son and to give back to Altaf his lost home. Altaf soon learns of Khan's identity and the role he played in the shoot-out. He attempts to kill Khan but fails. He leaves vowing to return to take Khan's life.
With nowhere to go, Altaf turns to Hilal Kohistani (Jackie Shroff) who poisons his mind and makes him a terrorist. Hilal then uses Altaf to launch his 'Mission: Kashmir'. Altaf during his venture to carry out Mission Kashmir meets up with his chilhood love Sufiya Pervez (Preatty Zinta).
Will Sufiya be an accomplice for Altaf??? …..Will Altaf be able to carry out Mission Kashmir???? ….Will Altaf get to kill Inayat khan???? …..You need to watch this movie..
