The sport of Fencing is a sport of armed combat that is one of the remaining original events that was in the 1908 Olympic Games. Its three main types of competition are the Epee, Foil, and Sabre which define the weapon used for defense and attack.

The sport traces its origin to ancient times as fencing was an ancient form of combat in warfare. Today the competitive element has been distilled from its violent origins to create a sport of agility, speed and endurance. The goal of fencing remains the same as the goal of warfare—to best the other fencer—but without the trappings of violence.
History of Fencing
The earliest evidence that has been found on the sport goes back to 1200 B.C.E., where a carving was found depicting a sport with protective weapons with tips, and masks.
The Greek and Roman civilizations practiced swordsmanship but the emphasis regressed through the Dark Ages, due the collapse of the Roman civilization during around 476 C.E., when the barbarian invaders brought their heavy weapons to the area.
In the beginning of the Renaissance during the fourteenth century, the introduction of fast, light weapons returned. With a few rare exceptions, the sword was still known as a heavy, clumsy weapon. It was used mostly as a weapon for dealing with armor-hewing blows, and had little point work involved.
The fifteenth century was the beginning of modern fencing as we know it today. Spain was known for having the first fencers in the sport, and also produced the first two manuals for the sport in 1471 and 1474 respectively. Italians starting using the rapier, and fencing greats such as Agripa, Grasi, and Vigiani emerged.
In the sixteenth century, the sport had a huge surge in popularity. The queen of France had many of the masters from Italy come to introduce the sport in 1567. Her son King Charles IX, recognized the French Fencing Academy, and started to award titles to these new men. These masters were the first to define and classify different terms to fencing attack methods.
The seventeenth century brought the introduction of the foil in France as a light weapon for the purpose of training. This brought new rules to the game that gave new ways to attack and defend, and also made the game safer. In 1780, the mask was introduced to the sport of fencing by La Boessiere, another safety precaution. This made the game much more popular–less fatal and much more strategic.
While the game was known in the old world for quite some time, it came to America in the 1860s because of immigrants from Italy and France. The first fencing school was introduced in America in 1874. The Olympics recognized the sport of fencing at the first modern Olympic games in 1896, and women's fencing was introduced in 1924.
In the early times of the twentieth century, the FIE or the International Fencing Federation was founded in France. The French, Italians and Hungarians dominated most fencing competitions for the first half of the century. Then a new generation focusing on speed and quickness was introduced by the Russians and Italians. The new focus on speed and the introduction of the electronic scoring machine gave the game an even more strategic element.
Introduction to Fencing
In the broadest possible sense, fencing is the art of armed combat involving cutting, stabbing, or bludgeoning weapons directly manipulated by hand, rather than shot or thrown. Example weapons include swords, knives, pikes, bayonets, batons, clubs, and similar. In contemporary common usage, 'fencing' tends to refer specifically to European schools of swordsmanship and to the modern Olympic sport that has evolved out of them.
Fencing is one of the four sports which has been featured at every modern Olympic Games. Currently, three types of weapon are used in Olympic fencing:
Foil—a light thrusting weapon; the valid target is restricted to the torso; double hits are not allowed, (see priority rules below).
Épée—a heavier thrusting weapon; the valid target area covers the entire body; double hits are allowed.
Sabre—a light cutting and thrusting weapon; the valid target area includes almost everything above the waist (excluding the back of the head and the palms of the hands); double hits are not allowed, (see priority rules below).
Valid target at foil (the torso).
The foil is a light and flexible weapon, originally developed in the mid 17th century as a training weapon for the small sword (a light one-handed sword designed almost exclusively for thrusting).
The target area is restricted to the torso. Hits can be scored only by hitting the valid target surface with the point of the weapon in such a manner as would have caused a puncture wound, had the weapon been sharp. A touch on an off-target area stops the bout but does not score a point. There are right of way or priority rules, whose basic idea is that the first person to create a viable threat or the last person to defend successfully receives a 'right' to hit. If two hits arrive more or less simultaneously, only the fencer who had the 'right of way' receives a point. If priority cannot be assigned unambiguously, no points are awarded. The original idea behind the foil rules was to encourage the fencers to defend and attack vital areas, and to fight in a methodical way with initiative passing back and forth between the combatants and thus minimizing the risk of a double death.
In modern competitive fencing 'electric' weapons are used. These have a push-button on the point of the blade, which allows hits to be registered by the electronic scoring apparatus. In order to register, the button must be depressed with a force of at least 4.90 newtons (500 grams-force) for at least 15 milliseconds. Fencers wear conductive (lamé) jackets covering their target area, which allow the scoring apparatus to differentiate between on- and off-target hits.
Épée
Valid target area at Épée (the entire body).
Épée, as the sporting weapon we know today, was invented in the second half of the 19th century by a group of French students, who felt that the conventions of foil are too restrictive, and the weapon itself too light; they wanted an experience closer to that of an actual duel. At the point of its conception, the épée was, essentially, an exact copy of a smallsword but without the needle-sharp point. Instead, the blade terminated in a point d'arrêt, a three-pronged contraption, which would snag on the clothing without penetrating the flesh.
Like the foil, the épée is a thrusting weapon: to score a valid hit, the fencer must fix the point of his weapon on his opponent's target. However, the target area covers the entire body, and, there are no rules regarding who can hit when (unlike in foil and sabre, where we have priority rules). In the event of both fencers making a touch within 40 milliseconds of each other, both are awarded a point (a double hit), except in modern pentathlon one-hit épée, where neither fencer receives a point. Otherwise, the first to hit always receives the point, regardless of what happened earlier in the phrase.
The 'electric' épée, used in modern competitive fencing, terminates in a push-button, similar to the one on the 'electric' foil. In order for the scoring apparatus to register a hit, it must arrive with a force of at least 7.35 newtons (750 grams-force) (a higher threshold than the foil's 4.9 newtons), and the push-button must remain fully depressed for 1 millisecond. All hits register as valid, unless they land on a grounded metal surface, such as a part of the opponent's weapon, in which case they do not register at all. At large events, grounded conductive pistes are often used in order to prevent the registration of hits against the floor. At smaller events and in club fencing, it is generally the responsibility of the referee to watch out for floor hits. These often happen by accident, when an épéeist tries to hit the opponent's foot and misses. In such cases, they are simply ignored. However, deliberate hits against the floor are treated as "dishonest fencing," and penalized accordingly.
Valid target at sabre(everything above the waist, bar the palms of the hands and the back of the head).
Sabre is the 'cutting' weapon: points may be scored with edges and surfaces of the blade, as well as the point. Although the current design with a light and flexible blade (marginally stiffer than a foil blade) appeared around the turn of the nineteenth century and twentieth century, similar sporting weapons with more substantial blades had been used throughout the Victorian era.
There is some debate as to whether the modern fencing sabre is descended from the cavalry sabres of Turkic origin (which became popular in Central and Western Europe around the time of Napoleonic Wars) or one of Europe's indigenous edged dueling weapons, such as the cutting rapier. In practice, it is likely to be a hybrid of the two. Most of the conventions and vocabulary of modern sabre fencing were developed by late nineteenth century and early twentieth century masters from Italy and Hungary, perhaps most notable among them being Italo Santelli (1866–1945).
Sabre fencing also grew based on the work of Michael Starzewski who wrote on the eleven different attack positions used in Sabre. The 1830 work was one of the first written on sabre fencing helped make this type of fencing grow significantly.
The sabre target covers everything above the waist, except the hands and the back of the head. Today, any contact between any part of the blade and any part of the target counts as a valid touch. This was not always the case, and earlier conventions stipulated that a valid touch must be made with either the point or one of the cutting edges, and must arrive with sufficient force to have caused a palpable wound, had the weapon been sharp. These requirements had to be abandoned, because of technical difficulties, shortly after electronic scoring was introduced into sabre fencing in late 1980s.
Like foil, sabre is subject to right of way rules, but there are some differences in the precise definition of what constitutes a correctly executed attack and parry. These differences, together with a much greater scoring surface (the whole of the blade, rather than the point alone), make sabre parries more difficult to execute effectively. As a result, sabre tactics rely much more heavily on footwork with blade contact being kept to a minimum.
Etymology: The word 'fence' was originally a shortening of the Middle English 'defens'. The first known use in reference to swordsmanship is in William Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor: 'Alas sir, I cannot fence.' [1]
Forms of fencing
Contemporary fencing is divided in three broad categories:
Competitive fencing
Fencing as a Western martial art
Other forms of fencing
Russian Ivan Tourchine and American Weston Kelsey fence in the second round of the Men's Individual Épée event in the 2004 Summer Olympics at the Helliniko Fencing Hall on August 17, 2004.
There are numerous inter-related forms of competitive fencing in practice, all of which approach the activity as a sport, with varying degrees of connectedness to its historic past.
Olympic fencing (or simply "fencing") refers to the fencing seen in most competitions, including the Olympic Games. Competitions are conducted according to rules laid down by the Fédération Internationale d'Escrime (FIE), the international governing body. These rules evolved from a set of conventions developed in Europe between mid 17th and early twentieth century with the specific purpose of regulating competitive activity. The three weapons used in Olympic fencing are foil, épée, and sabre. In competition, the validity of touches is determined by the electronic scoring apparatus, so as to minimize human error and bias in refereeing. Olympic competitions consists of individual and team metal winners.
Wheelchair fencing, an original Paralympic sport, was developed in post-World War II England. Minor modifications to the FIE rules allow disabled fencers to fence all three weapons. The most apparent change is that each fencer sits in a wheelchair fastened to a frame. Footwork is replaced by torso or arm movement, depending on the fencer's disability. The proximity of the two fencers tends to increase the pace of bouts, which require considerable skill. The weapons are identical to those used in Olympic fencing.
Other variants include one-hit épée (one of the five events which constitute modern pentathlon) and the various types of competitive fencing, whose rules are similar but not identical to the FIE rules. One example of this is the American Fencing League (distinct from the United States Fencing Association): the format of competitions is different, there is no electronic scoring, and the priority rules are interpreted in a different way. In a number of countries, the accepted practice at school and university level deviates slightly from the FIE format.
Some practitioners of fencing approach it as a Western martial art, with the goal being to train for a theoretical duel. The element of sport is absent (or nearly so) from these forms of fencing, but they all share a common origin with each other and with competitive fencing.
Classical fencing is differentiated from competitive fencing as being theoretically closer to swordplay as a martial art. Those who call themselves classical fencers may advocate the use of what they see as more authentic practices, including little or no emphasis on sport competition. There is strong interest within the classical fencing community in reviving the European fencing practices of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, when fencers were expected to be able to fight a duel using their training. Weapons used are the standard (non-electric) foil, standard epee (often equipped with pointes d'arret), and the blunted dueling sabre. AFL fencing is often referred to as classical fencing, but this is a misnomer.
Historical fencing is a type of historical martial arts reconstruction based on surviving texts and traditions. Predictably, historical fencers study an extremely wide array of weapons from different regions and periods. They may work with bucklers, daggers, polearms, bludgeoning weapons, etc. One main preoccupation of historical fencers is with weapons of realistic weight, which demand a different way of manipulating them from what is the norm in modern Fencing. For example, light weapons can be manipulated through the use of the fingers (more flexibility), but more realistically-weighted weapons must be controlled more through the wrist and elbow. This difference is great and can lead to drastic changes even in the carriage of the body and footwork in combat. There is considerable overlap between classical and historical fencing, especially with regard to 19th-century fencing practices.
This circa 1900 painting illustrates a typical mensur bout in Heidelberg, Germany. The combatants have their swords high in the air and are wearing only metal goggles to protect the eyes and nose.
Finally, there are several other forms of fencing which have little in common besides history with either of the other two classifications.
Academic fencing, or mensur, is a German student tradition that is still practiced in Germany, Switzerland and Austria as well as in Flanders and Latvia. The combat, which uses a cutting weapon known as the schläger, uses sharpened blades and takes place between members of student fraternities—"Studentenverbindungen"—in accordance with a strictly delineated set of conventions. It uses special protective gear that leaves most of the head and face, excluding the eyes, unprotected. The ultimate goal is to develop personal character, therefore there is no winner or loser and flinching is not allowed. Acquiring a proper cut on the face with the sharp blade is one goal and a visible sign of manly courage.
Stage fencing seeks to achieve maximum theatrical impact in representing a wide range of styles, including both modern and historical forms of fencing. Theatrical fight scenes are choreographed and fencing actions are exaggerated for dramatic effect and visual clarity.
Recreational roleplaying often incorporates fencing in the context of historical or fantasy themes in the Society for Creative Anachronism or live-action roleplaying games. Technique and scoring systems vary widely from one group to the next, as do the weapons. Depending on local conventions, participants may use modern sport fencing weapons, period weapons, or weapons invented specifically for the purpose, such as boffers.
Modern weapons
Three weapons survive in modern competitive fencing: foil, épée, and sabre. The spadroon and the heavy cavalry-style sabre, both of which saw widespread competitive use in the nineteenth century, fell into disfavor in the early twentieth century with the rising popularity of the lighter and faster weapon used today. The singlestick was featured in the 1904 Olympic Games, but it was already declining in popularity at that time. Bayonet fencing experienced a somewhat slower decline, with competitions organized by some armed forces as late as the 1940s and 1950s.
While the weapons fencers use differ in shape and purpose, their basic construction remains similar across the disciplines. Every weapon has a blade and a hilt. The tip of the blade is generally referred to as the point. The hilt consists of a guard and a grip. The guard (also known as the coquille, or the bellguard) is a metal shell designed to protect the fingers. The grip is the weapon's actual handle. There are a number of commonly used variants. The more traditional kind are approximately straight and terminate with a pommel (a heavy nut intended to act as a counterweight for the blade). In the case of foil and épée, these have been surpassed in popularity by a variety of ergonomic designs, often collectively refereed to as pistol grip (the way they are held resembles how one holds a pistol).
Chest protector (women's)
The clothing which is worn in modern fencing is made of tough cotton or nylon. Kevlar was added to top level uniform pieces (jacket, breeches, underarm protector, lamé, and the bib of the mask) following the Smirnov incident at the 1982 World Championships in Rome, when Smirnov died from a fencing accident. However, Kevlar breaks down in chlorine and UV light, so the act of washing one's uniform and/or hanging it up in the sun to dry actually damaged the kevlar's ability to do the job.
For the uniform to be considered legal for competition, it has to pass a large amount of tests and rules. Below is the standard uniform that is worn and includes the following items of clothing:
Form-fitting jacket covering groin and with strap (croissard) which goes between the legs, a small gorget of folded fabric is also sewn in around the collar to prevent a blade from slipping upwards towards the neck.
Under-arm protector (plastron) which goes underneath the jacket and provides double protection on the sword arm side and upper arm. It is required to not have a seam in the armpit, which would line up with the jacket seam and provide a weak spot.
One glove for the sword arm with a gauntlet that prevents blades from going up the sleeve and causing injury, as well as protecting the hand and providing a good grip
Breeches or knickers which are a pair of short trousers. The legs are supposed to hold just below the knee.
Knee-length or Thigh high socks which should cover knee and thighs.
Shoes with flat soles and reinforcement on the inside of the back foot and heel of front foot, to prevent wear from lunging.
Mask, including a bib which protects the neck. For competition, the bib must be sewn into the mask frame to eliminate a hole that might admit a blade. Thus, masks with snap-in bibs are not legal for competition. The mask can usually support 12 kilograms of force, however FIE regulation masks can stand much more, at least 27 kg.
Plastic chest protector, mandatory for female fencers. An alternative to a full chest protector are breast protectors (known informally as "salad bowls"), plastic bowl-shaped items which are inserted into special breast pockets in the plastron. While male versions of the chest protector are also available, they were, until recently, primarily worn by instructors, who are hit far more often during training than their students. Since the change of the depression timing (see above), these are increasingly popular in foil, as the hard surface increases the likelihood of point bounce and thus a failure for a hit to register. Plastrons are still mandatory, though.
Fencing Masters will often wear a heavier protective jacket, usually reinforced by plastic foam to cushion the numerous hits an instructor has to endure. Sometimes in practice, masters wear a protective sleeve or a leg leather for protection of their fencing arm or leg.
Traditionally, the uniform is white in color. This is primarily to assist the judges in seeing touches scored (black being the traditional color for masters), but rules against non-white uniforms may also have been intended to combat sponsorship and the commercialization of the sport. However, recently the FIE rules have been relaxed to allow colored uniforms. The color white might also be traced back to times before electronic scoring equipment, when the blades were sometimes covered in soot, ink, or colored chalk to make a mark on the opponent's clothing.
Prior to the introduction of electronic scoring equipment, a director (formerly called the president of jury) was assisted by four judges. Two judges were positioned behind each fencer, one on each side of the strip. The judges watched the fencer opposite to see if he was hit. This system is sometimes called "dry" fencing (USA) or "steam" (United Kingdom, Australia) fencing.
Electronic scoring is used in all major national and international, and most local, competitions. At Olympic level, it was first introduced to épée in 1936, to foil in 1956, and to sabre in 1988. The central unit of the scoring system is commonly known as "the box." In the simplest version both fencers' weapons are connected to the box via long retractable cables. The box normally carries a set of lights to signal when a touch has been made. (Larger peripheral lights are also often used.) In foil and sabre, because of the need to distinguish on-target hits from off-target ones, special conductive clothing and wires must be worn. This includes a lamé, (a jacket of conducting cloth) for both weapons, a body cord to connect the weapon to the system, a reel of retractable cable that connects to the scoring box and in the case of sabre, a conducting mask and cuff (manchette) as the head and arms are valid target areas.

You are a lazy, psychicly gifted mouse. It's 3PM and time for some refreshment. Use your ESPer powers to bring the cheese to you for a snack.
This game is based on an associated word: revolution.
All code is available under the MIT license on GitHub.
Enjoyed the game, it got difficult very fast and had to give up :( Very fun/cool idea though.
The difficulty level was really up and down. The first level took me a while, while the second I beat in a few moves. The lack of audio was disappointing. The graphics art stylish and smooth.
Cool puzzle mechanic but looking more than one step ahead is rather difficult which sometimes made me feel like I was just aimlessly rotating until I hit the cheese. Not very on-theme.
Wow, super fun. Really love the art style.
Fun, but I played more by guessing than really thinking about the different objects in the level. I played to level 8.
I had quite a bit of fun with this game. It might be that I'm exhausted, but I had no luck with level 8. Also a bit annoying but when you are one move away from being attacked by a cat, there is absolutely nothing you can do stop it as usually both turns will give the same results. Not sure if a single undo would be useful here, but it's irritating to know that after working through a large number of turns on a puzzle seeing that you are one away from starting over. Given the mechanics of the game, I'm not sure if there is anything that could be done to alleviate this.
I only miss some music, sounds and an instance reset button. Nice game! My son will enjoy this game too.
Simple but hard to stratergize the movements! A few sounds and some color can turn this into a neat little game. It lagged a little for me, but this is because it was played under a virtualized W7!
I fail to see how it relates to the theme.
Quite an interesting mechanic, although I tended to rotate more or less randomly until there was an obvious way to win. Some levels were much harder than others.
Definitely tough to get the hang of thinking ahead! Some more contrived intermediate levels would definitely help develop player skills, if you were to flesh this out more. It was hard to grasp how the balloons worked at first.
As for fitting with the theme...is it because the mouse evolved psychic powers that allow it to move the room its in rather than run to the cheese?
Mine was unable to install. I get to the agree page, and then after I agree, it gives me this error.
I love the chess-effect. This isn't the type of game to plow into and randomly move pieces, but rather one that provokes methodical and thoughtful execution, requiring the player to look several turns in advance to find a solution. This is definitely a fantastic exercise for your brain.
The hand-drawn style works well and could certainly be expanded upon.
It took me a while to figure out the first level, which kinda happened randomly. Definitely could really benefit from some sound effects and maybe some pointing-out of things (i.e. "kitty (avoid)"). Seems like a good start.
What a unique puzzle game. Sometimes I felt like I was just turning it randomly, though.
Love the game mechanic, love the art style, love the way the difficulty ramps up. The only negative for me was the first few minutes, I restarted the game a few times before I realized what I needed to do and how I could do it.. after that it was clear sailing. Too bad the theme isn't so well reflected in the entry. Overall: fun little game.
Really fun puzzle but not related to the theme.
Fantastic entry. Very charming. The art melds well with the mechanic and it all seems very peaceful.
If the resolution was a little smaller you could keep this open on the desktop is a little toy. Very well done. Looking forward to seeing your work in the future.
I did not appreciate needing to install the game using a setup. Just an executable would be more convenient.

Q: I cannot expand RAID5 capacity on an Adaptec RAID 71605, an "expand" in ribbon is greyed out I have 4 disks RAID5 array and want to add additional identical disks in order to expand the capacity.
I do everything as instructed, but "expand/migrate" buttons are greyed out, so i cannot do it.

A: In order to do an expand, Adaptec recommends to use the latest Firmware on the  RAID controller, check that consistency check is disabled and to initialize the disks you want to add to your RAID array. You can find in this document more details about this process.
Always have an updated full backup of your information, independently the size of it. This is the most basic action you can do to protect it.

A: If there are partitions on the HDD, it cannot be initialized or added to an array. The entire HDD must be unallocated.
If this is your situation, remove any partitions and try again.

A: You can't do this without first backing up your data, destroying the array, adding the new drive, and then re-creating the array.

A: It is possible to expand the RAID-5 array from (4) drives to (5). I did this a few years back with my Adaptec 71605, going from (4) 8TB drives to (5) 8TB drives, staying with RAID-5. I had the same issue (greyed out in GUI) so used the command line instead of using their ARCCONF utility. It took about a month to expand, but the availability and performance during that period were OK. This goes some way to explaining why they greyed it out! For best results, always be sure to disable the write cache on the drives (relying on RAM/SLC/BBU on the controller instead in case of power outages). Even better if you have a large UPS.
Command I Used:
arcconf modify 1 FROM 0 TO MAX 5 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 4
Explanation:
arcconf (utility) modify (command) 1 (controller) FROM 0 (logical drive) TO (modifications to follow) MAX (use max size available for expansion) 5 (keep as RAID-5) 0 0 (Drive #1, Channel 0, SCSI Device ID 0) 0 1 (Drive #2, Channel 0, SCSI Device ID 1) 0 2 (Drive #3, Channel 0, SCSI Device ID 2) 0 3 (Drive #4, Channel 0, SCSI Device ID 3) 0 4 (Drive #5, Channel 0, SCSI Device ID 4)

I have an iPad. It doesn't like level 10 either. After watching various cheats, my attempts were still futile. So . . . try going in reverse. Hold down your home button at the bottom of your tablet first, then quickly push the home button on the image of the phone in the game. It worked for me. Good luck! Incidentally, this is the fourth review I've written here. Evidently the nicknames I choose are popular. But, your programming requires that the review be written before checking the name availability. And if the name is being used by another, everything is erased! The name, the review, all of it. The name should be the only item that requires a rewrite. So if you don't read this, it's because I was again unsuccessful and I will not try again.

Home | Specialities | Allergology
The Allergology Department treats patients with allergies, a very common pathology that now affects approximately one in four people.
At the Allergology Department, our mission is to provide care for people with allergy-related diseases and to improve their quality of life, in accordance with their needs and wishes. The key to achieving this is comprehensive care. We work hard to provide faster, reliable diagnoses and offer personalised treatments.
Portfolio of services
The diseases that we treat in our Department include: respiratory allergies (asthma and rhinitis), food allergies, allergy to medications as well as skin diseases, such as hives, atopic dermatitis and contact dermatitis. Often, a patient can present more than one of these diseases or problems, meaning it is important that a single professional be able to assess them jointly.
We also deal with "rare" pathologies, mainly hereditary angioedema, which is a disorder that causes inflammation of the face and the respiratory tract, as well as abdominal cramps; systemic mastocytosis, which is a disease of the blood or haemopathy; eosinophilic oesophagitis, which is an inflammation of the oesophagus wall, and allergies to hymenoptera poisons (insects such as ants, bumble bees, wasps, and others).
At our Department, we work in accordance with the Health Department's Allergy Care Model. As a reference centre in our region, we provide care for complex allergy-related pathologies, which requires appropriate infrastructure to carry out diagnostic risk tests, such as tests for allergies to medication, foods, hymenoptera or occupational respiratory allergy, meaning allergies acquired at work. We also possess the necessary allergies laboratory, with specialist staff and equipment, in order to diagnose allergies.
Tests involving a certain level of risk are carried out at the Day Hospital, where the necessary resources are available to deal with any possible adverse reactions. These tests are mainly used to diagnose allergies to medication.

ARLINGTON, Va.—Medical researchers are demonstrating that Office of Naval Research (ONR)-funded software developed for finding and recognizing undersea mines can help doctors identify and classify cancer-related cells.
The problem that physicians encounter in analyzing images of human cells is surprisingly similar to the Navy's challenge of finding undersea mines.
When examining tissue samples, doctors must sift through hundreds of microscopic images containing millions of cells. To pinpoint specific cells of interest, they use an automated image analysis software toolkit called FARSIGHT, or Fluorescence Association Rules for Quantitative Insight. Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), FARSIGHT identifies cells based upon a subset of examples initially labeled by a physician. But the resulting classifications can be erroneous because the computer applies tags based on the small sampling.
By adding ONR's active learning software algorithms, the identification of cells is more accurate and FARSIGHT's performance more consistent, researchers said. The enhanced toolkit also requires physicians to label fewer cell samples because the algorithm automatically selects the best set of examples to teach the software.
A medical team at the University of Pennsylvania is applying the ONR algorithms, embedded into FARSIGHT, to examine tumors from kidney cancer patients. Focusing on endothelial cells that form the blood vessels that supply the tumors with oxygen and nutrients, the research could one day improve drug treatments for different types of kidney cancer, also known as renal cell carcinoma.
It usually takes days, even weeks, for a pathologist to manually pick out all the endothelial cells in 100 images. The enhanced FARSIGHT toolkit can accomplish the same feat in a few hours with human accuracy.
"This is an important NIH-funded clinical study that we're supporting with FARSIGHT, and Dr. Carin's active learning system has been a great success," said Dr. Badri Roysam, an electrical and computer engineering professor at the University of Houston and program investigator for FARSIGHT.
ONR's active learning software was originally developed to allow robotic mine-hunting systems to behave more like humans when they are uncertain about how to classify an object. Using information theory, the software asks a human to provide labels for those items. This feature is valuable in mine warfare, where identifying unknown objects beneath the ocean has been accomplished traditionally by sending in divers.


We are very excited to announce that our partnered charity for our event in January is TOLFA - Tree of Life for Animals.
Founded in 2005, TOLFA is a charity with animal welfare and people's empowerment at its heart. They currently operate an animal hospital and related educational and support programmes in Rajasthan, Northern India but their UK home is here in Stroud!
We are so proud to be able to support this fantastic charity through our event. As well as having a free stall at Stroud Vegan Fair which takes place on Sat 26 Jan 2019, they will also be giving a talk about their story AND we are also going to donate 10% of any profits made directly to them.
Since 2005 TOLFA touched the lives of over 170,000 street animals in need including sterilising over 23,000 dogs in the surrounding area and vaccinating almost 28,000 against rabies (India has the highest human death rate anywhere in the world from rabies).
In the case of ownerless animals it's their aim, wherever possible, to return recovered animals back to the environment, from which they were rescued. In special situations when this is not possible they are offered lifelong sanctuary. Without the treatment and care that TOLFA offers to any animal in need, most would simply die - often in appalling circumstances and in great pain.


Despite a number of early breakaway attempts that whittled the field down, it wasa crash on the last major climb (the Muur) that shaped the end of the race.

Calle Chambers es una estación en la línea de la Calle Nassau del metro de la ciudad de Nueva York. Está localizada en la intersección de las calles Centre y Chambers bajo el Edificio Municipal de Manhattan, y es servida por los trenes de los servicios  (todo el tiempo),  (solamente de lunes a viernes), y por los trenes del servicio  (solamente en horas pico).

La estación cuenta con cuatro vías y tres plataformas centrales, y una plataforma lateral (antes tenía dos). En 1931, se cerraron dos plataformas centrales y ambas plataformas laterales porque eran innecesarias. La estación en el lado oeste de la plataforma fue demolida cuando se construyó la estación Puente de Brooklyn–City Hall en la línea de la Avenida Lexington

Mapped: How every part of the world has warmed – and could continue to warm
Climate change is often communicated by looking at the global average temperature. But a global average might not mean much to the average person. How the climate is likely to change specifically where people live is, in most cases, a much more important consideration.
Carbon Brief has combined observed temperature changes with future climate model projections to show how the climate has changed up to present day, but also how it might change in the future for every different part of the world.
RCP2.6: The RCPs (Representative Concentration Pathways) are scenarios of future concentrations of greenhouse gases and other forcings. RCP2.6 (also sometimes referred to as "RCP3-PD") is a "peak and decline" scenario where stringent mitigation and carbon dioxide removal technologies mean atmospheric CO2 concentration peaks and then falls during this century. By 2100, CO2 levels increase to around 420ppm – around 20ppm above current levels – equivalent to 475ppm once other forcings are included (in CO2e). By 2100, global temperatures are likely to rise by 1.3-1.9C above pre-industrial levels.

To do this, the world has been broken up into "grid cells" representing every degree latitude and every degree longitude. This results in 64,800 grid cells, which are typically about 100 kilometers wide. (In reality, they are a bit larger at the equator and smaller close to the poles.)
RCP8.5: The RCPs (Representative Concentration Pathways) are scenarios of future concentrations of greenhouse gases and other forcings. RCP8.5 is a scenario of "comparatively high greenhouse gas emissions" brought about by rapid population growth, high energy demand, fossil fuel dominance and an absence of climate change policies. This "business as usual" scenario is the highest of the four RCPs and sees atmospheric CO2 rise to around 935ppm by 2100, equivalent to 1,370ppm once other forcings are included (in CO2e). The likely range of global temperatures by 2100 for RCP8.5 is 4.0-6.1C above pre-industrial levels. The release of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) has introduced a number of additional "no-new-policy" scenarios, meaning RCP8.5 is no longer the sole option available to researchers as a high-end no-mitigation pathway.
RCP8.5: The RCPs (Representative Concentration Pathways) are scenarios of future concentrations of greenhouse gases and other forcings. RCP8.5 is a scenario of "comparatively high greenhouse gas emissions" brought about by rapid population growth,… Read More
The map overlay on the interactive above shows the amount of warming to expect in each grid cell based on future Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios developed by climate scientists. These four scenarios represent different possible future emission trajectories. They range from the low-warming RCP2.6 scenario, which keeps global warming from the pre-industrial era to below 2C, up to a high-warming RCP8.5 scenario that would likely see global temperatures rise to above 4C.
Clicking on any grid cell brings up a sidebar showing the historical temperature record for that location between 1850 and 2017, both by year (in white) and with a smoothed average using 10 years of data (in red). An additional plot shows the future warming projected for that location under the four different RCP scenarios from 2000 through to 2100 – in purple, red, orange and yellow. Both historical and future temperatures are shown relative to a 1951-1980 baseline period.
The sidebar indicates both how much warming has been experienced between the first 30 years of the record and the past decade. Additionally, it shows how much warming is expected by 2100, relative to the baseline period.
Specific locations can also be typed into the search bar in the upper left corner. The past observed and future projected temperatures for each location can be downloaded by clicking on the "download csv" link. Clicking on the "home" symbol on the left will reset the interactive back to its default starting point. (Note: Users with laptops or other small screens may want to zoom out on their browsers for a better view of the map.)
Methodology and data sources
Observed temperatures
Temperatures based on land and ocean observations were obtained from the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Project's one-degree latitude by one-degree longitude gridded monthly average temperature fields (note: large file download). These were converted into annual average temperature anomalies relative to a 1951-1980 baseline period.
These temperature estimates use observations from around 30,000 land monitoring stations, as well as thousands of ships, buoys and other monitoring systems over the ocean. Berkeley Earth uses the UK Met Office's HadSST3 ocean temperature record as the basis for its ocean temperatures.
Observational data is available back to 1850, though for any given location data may not go back that far. Data is available from at least 1900 for most locations except Antarctica, where data is only available starting in 1950 when measurements on that continent began.
Berkeley Earth land data is homogenised – adjusted to correct for station moves, instrument changes, time of observation changes and other disruptions that stations have experienced over the past 150 years. Ocean temperature records are similarly adjusted to account for changes in the way ocean temperatures are measured, from buckets thrown over the side of ships through to engine-room intake valves and automated buoys in modern times.
These adjustments have a relatively small impact on temperatures after 1950, as discussed in the Carbon Brief explainer on temperature adjustments. The overall effect of adjustments is to increase temperatures globally prior to 1950, reducing the amount of long-term warming in the record compared to the raw readings.
Future temperature projections are taken from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) multi-model average surface air temperature for each RCP scenario. CMIP5 features around 38 different climate models, though some of these represent variations of the same underlying model with different aspects included. One run from each model was used in calculating the multi-model average, with the model temperature fields obtained from KNMI Climate Explorer.
These multi-model average values are downscaled – increased in spatial resolution – to a one-degree latitude by one-degree longitude resolution to be comparable to the observations. They are converted into anomalies with respect to a 1951-1980 baseline, then aligned to the observations over the 20-year period from 1999-2018 to show the changes expected from present. Model data is shown between 2000 and 2100 in the sidebar for each grid cell.
Understanding uncertainty
Both observational temperature estimates and future projected temperature changes are subject to uncertainty. Observational uncertainties in historical temperature records from Berkeley Earth are shown in the sidebar.
Observational uncertainties can arise from a number of different factors. Incomplete coverage of observations across the Earth's surface means that sometimes temperature anomalies in a location have to be estimates from nearby land stations or ocean measurements. The Berkeley Earth dataset uses a technique called "kriging" to create globally complete estimates of both temperature and uncertainty from observations at specific locations.
Climate sensitivity: The amount of warming we can expect when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reaches double what it was before the industrial revolution. There are two ways to express climate sensitivity: Transient Climate Response (TCR) is the warming at Earth's surface we can expect at the point of doubling, while Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) is the total amount of warming once the Earth has had time to adjust fully to the extra carbon dioxide.
Climate sensitivity: The amount of warming we can expect when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reaches double what it was before the industrial revolution. There are two ways to express climate sensitivity: Transient Climate… Read More
Future climate model projections also include significant uncertainties, chief among them the sensitivity of the climate to increased CO2. The CMIP5 models featured in the most recent IPCC report estimates climate sensitivity at between 2.1C and 4.7C per doubling of atmospheric CO2 levels, with an average sensitivity of 3.1C. The multi-model average projections shown in the sidebar only reflect this 3.1C value; users interested in the results of individual models with higher or lower sensitivity will have to use a tool such as KNMI Climate Explorer to view those results.
Individual models also show a lot more year-to-year variability than the multi-model average shown in the sidebar. Individual models have short-term variability driven by factors including El Niño and La Niña events that result in some years warmer or cooler than others. However, this short-term variability occurs at different times in different models and is largely averaged out in the multi-model average.
The code used to calculate past observed and future projected temperatures for each of the 64,800 grid cells is available on GitHub and free for reuse or modification.
Temperature observations from the Berkeley Earth gridded one-degree latitude by one-degree longitude netCDF file are imported and converted into annual anomalies with respect to a 1951-1980 baseline period. A smoothed average is produced using a local regression (LOWESS) approach that uses a 10-year period for calculation.
Future temperature projections from the CMIP5 multi-model mean are obtained from KNMI Climate Explorer. These are statistically downscaled from their native 2.5-degree latitude by 2.5-degree longitude resolution to a one-degree latitude by one-degree longitude using bilinear interpolation – an average of nearby values. Model data is then converted into temperature anomalies with respect to a 1951-1980 baseline period. Finally, models are aligned with observations over the prior 20-year period (1999-2018) to better represent the expected change from present values.
A location name is assigned to each grid cell through a multi-step process. First, grid cell locations are geolocated using the reverse_geocoder python library. This provides information on the city, state and country closest to the grid cell's centre. An additional "countries.geojson" file is used to identify areas over the ocean or in unpopulated areas, such as Antarctica and the high Arctic.
Finally, the centres of the grid cells are referenced against a list of all cities with a population exceeding 20,000. The name of the largest city in the grid cell is selected when multiple are present. This avoids assigning grid cell names to the settlement that happens to be closest to the geographic center of the grid cell irrespective of population.

Q: Are imported modules bundled into module chunk files in Angular Theoretically speaking, imagine having X,Y,Z lazy loaded modules in your angular application.
At some point, you decide that all of those modules needs to use 3rd party module that is around 1MB of size. Naturally, you will add imports: [ ... OurHeavyModule] into all 3 modules.
The question is - will that make chunk files of X,Y,Z larger by whole 1MB  each? Or maybe packager is smart enough to actually make additional chunk that will be imported along - but only once.

A: I did a quick test and here is the result.
+-------------------------+----------------+
|       Source File       |  Bundle File   |
+-------------------------+----------------+
| App component (Eager)   | main.{hash}.js |
| Customers Module (Lazy) | 5.{hash}.js    |
| Products Module (Lazy)  | 6.{hash}.js    |
| Shared Module           | 1.{hash}.js    |
+-------------------------+----------------+

The shared module has a service that contains xlsx package(1.3MB), and importing it into both customers and products generated only one single additional chunk 1.{hash}.js.
Also in the browser 1.{hash}.js chunk is loaded only once, whatever module (customers or products) first load is triggering this chunk only once.

feast your mince pies on these!
Nothing says Christmas to me than being in the kitchen, baking and making Christmassy treats and mince pies have to be my all time favourite. The mincemeat recipe was handed down to me by my Mum, which I have added to my very own sweet spiced mandarin pastry. Just make sure you make enough, as they'll soon go!
For the mincemeat - see ourstir-up sunday blog.
Put the flour and butter into a food processor or mixer and pulse until you have a breadcrumb consistency. Add the icing sugar, spices and mandarin zest and pulse again for a few minutes.
Add the egg yolks and the mandarin juice until the mix becomes a dough. Don't over work it – as soon as it comes together turn off your machine. On a lightly floured surface roll the pastry into a sausage shape or ball, wrap it in cling film and let it chill in the fridge for at least ½ hour.
If your bun, muffin or pie tin isn't non-stick brush with a tiny amount of melted butter.
After your pastry has rested, flour your work surface and cut the pastry in half. Roll out one half - I like really thin pastry about 2 -3mm thickness but it is up to you how you like yours. Using a 8-10cm pastry cutter, cut out circles and put into your tin, pressing around the edges.
Roll out the other half of the pastry and using a smaller cutter, make the same amount of pastry lids.
Fill each pie with a generous amount of mincemeat - how much depends on the depth of your pie tins. Brush the rim of the pastry with a little beaten egg and put the pastry lids on, pressing down gently to seal the top and bottom together.
You can now put these in the freezer if you want to or if you have no patience (like me!), brush each pie with a little beaten egg and then bake immediately in a hot oven (about 180 degrees) for about 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown. Check your oven after 15 minutes.
When they come out of the oven sprinkle with icing sugar mixed with finely zested mandarin, a pinch of mixed spice or chai spice mix – delicious served warm.


At 5 feet, 6 inches and 145 pounds, this 35-year-old woman was in fairly good shape but frustrated by hard-to-treat fat deposits throughout her body. She consulted with Dr. Castillo for liposuction in our Champaign-area plastic surgery center. During this appointment, she expressed her frustration with being unable to improve her figure through diet and exercise. She was especially dissatisfied with the appearance of her abdomen, waist, hips, and inner and outer thighs. Notice the excess fat with poor abdominal definition in her "before" photos. She also presented with excess fat in her hips and upper thighs, which accentuated her "pear" shape.
She underwent liposculpture of her abdomen, waist, hips, and thighs, with a total removal of 5,200 cc, or about 1½ gallons, of fat. Dr. Castillo performed the procedure in our accredited outpatient surgical facility while the patient was under light general anesthesia.
Following surgery, this patient was able to return to work in 6 days. In her "after" photos, you can observe her improved abdominal definition, as well as more even proportions in her upper and lower body. Her thighs also appear leaner, with improved definition. As a result of the procedure, this patient is now able to wear clothes "off the rack" without needing alterations, and she reports fitting into clothes 4 sizes smaller than she wore before surgery. She has been able to maintain her shape with normal diet and exercise.

Alumni Professor Engineer Education Colorado 1964 Physics Dick Butkus
Owner/founder | Lakewood Semiconductors | Class of 1964
The rest of the world knows him as the quarterback-mashing, slobber-knocking monster of the Midway in the No. 51 jersey.
But to Richard Ahrenkiel, he'll always be Dick Butkus, peace-keeping Illinois intramural basketball ref of the early '60s.
A true story, care of the Lakewood Semiconductors founder, Colorado School of Mines professor and 2019 recipient of the Grainger College of Engineering's Alumni Award for Distinguished Service:
"During my years in physics graduate school, 1959-64, there was an active graduate intramural basketball league with teams representing most of the major departments. The league was run by the school and played games in the Men's Old Gym, as we called it then.
"At the end of the season, there was a playoff to determine the league champion. It seemed that the championship game was often between the physics department and physical education department. A classic Nerds versus Jocks game.
"There seemed to be an inordinate amount of fights between the players that broke out during the games between these two particular teams.
"I remember one memorable game in which the two teams were getting ready for the tipoff. The referee that the school supplied for this particular game was Dick Butkus, the star of the Illinois football team who become an NFL all-star later in his life. Mr. Butkus was a huge man in T-shirt and shorts compared to most of the players from both teams.
"He addressed us with a statement that went something like: 'Gentlemen, I hear that you two teams have a bad history. We are not having any trouble today, are we?'
"In unison, the response was 'Yes, sir, Mr. Butkus.'
"The game was quite uneventful from then on."

Chamber rolls out the red carpet for busineses, volunteers
By Emily Jankauski
MAHOMET — Only one word came to mind for Jill Guth, a broker for Guth & Associates, after winning the Mahomet Area Chamber of Commerce's Overall Business of the Year award — "stunned."
"I'm quite overwhelmed to be honest," she said. "I didn't expect it. Obviously, (I'm) very honored and humbled that the committee recognizes the work that we're doing and that it's not just about filling spaces but making Mahomet a better community."
Guth was just one of five businesses honored, along with two outstanding community members, during the chamber's Excellence in Business event on Monday. Chamber members nominated award winners, but ultimately, the chamber's three-person committee selected each of the winners.
The three-hour event celebrated more than 150 attendees, which was simply priceless for Chairman Angela Barden.
"My favorite part of the evening is just looking at the emotions of the winners when they come up," she said. "Some of them are very touched and didn't expect to get that reaction."
Scott Miller, owner of Bulldog Automotive, was one of those moved by his business's selection as Small Business of the Year.
"(I'm) very humbled," he said. "It means a lot. I didn't get into it for the notoriety, I got into it because I like what I do."
Emily Moon Kroner, owner of Lucky Moon Pies and More, was "tickled pink" with her business being selected as Start-Up Business of the Year.
"I was thrilled," she said. "I still am thrilled. I feel like Mahomet is changing very quickly and growing so fast and since I grew up here when it was just a tiny, tiny town, I feel like I'm really at the cutting edge of a new era for Mahomet. It was a big rush of emotion."
Dan Walk, owner of Walk Chiropractic, felt "overwhelmed" and "so thankful" after winning Health and Wellness Business of the Year.
"It means everything," Walk said. "That's one of the great things about having a small community is we have each other's backs, just like I have people's backs," he joked.
Jokes aside, Walk said he owed a huge thank-you to his family (wife Katie and daughters Ella, 10, and Emmy, 10 months) and staff (Angela Agius, Danielle Ellis, Sonja Gudgel, Amylynn Heiser and Kelsey Wedig) for all of their support.
Other business winners included Mahomet's beloved frozen yogurt operation, YoYo's, which earned Food Service Business of the Year.
Ann Paul, president of Mahomet Helping Hands, was honored for her more than 20 years of service to the local food pantry, becoming the Community Servant of the Year.
"I'm really pleased and honored to have that," Paul said. "Everybody appreciates what I do and I appreciate them."
Paul said the award now makes five total awards for her servant leadership, but being recognized by the chamber was by far "the largest one."
"This is one of the greatest awards I've got," she said.
Lyn Ferdinand of Mahomet Insurance Centre was recognized as the Volunteer of the Year for her 30 years of service to the chamber.
"It's very humbling," Ferdinand said. "It's just nice to be recognized.'"
The idea to honor more businesses than in years past, previously only Volunteer of the Year and Overall Business of the Year, was an important one for Barden and the chamber's committee.
"We have some wonderful business members, so we thought that it would be great to do," she said. "A lot of times, small businesses have never had the opportunity to win Business of the Year because they're too small, they just haven't had enough of a role within the community, so that was really important to us to have those categories available."
In addition to recognizing the businesses, the chamber also raised $4,055 during a dessert auction, led by auctioneer John Rawdin, for its scholarship program.
Awarded students, including Zachary Kietzmann (Illinois State), Erin Krumwiede (University of Mississippi), Carolyn McCue (Purdue) and Anna Taylor (Utah State), will receive $1,000 apiece thanks to the generous local businesses.
"We have a scholarship committee for the chamber and they review scholarship (applications) from the school, and we try really hard to match scholarships with business majors," chamber director Walter Pierce said.
In fact, the dessert auction is one of Pierce's favorite parts of the evening.
"I go to the back of the room and stand and watch some of those tables get the price up as high as they can," Pierce said of the cause.
But even sweeter was knowing just how much the recognition and an evening together meant to the local business community.
"On Facebook, Jill Guth shared a picture of her Business of the Year award sitting on her desk. That meant something," Pierce said. "As Evan (El Koury) and I were trying to load chairs in (the car) that evening following the event, Mary (Pettenger) from Winderson's Creations said, 'I can't imagine the work you guys do for that,' and I said, 'Yeah, but that's worth it,'" he added, "especially when you get a thank-you."

The Voice Winner Says Filming Her First Music Video Was "Unbelievable"
The theme of "Wasting All These Tears" called for Pope to dig deep to pull off her role.
Despite having to step out of her comfort zone, playing the main role in the video was Pope's idea.
Ultimately, she says her first music video was a great experience and, in some ways, a little surreal.

Remove Mackeeper, but some segments still appear on screen at various times?
I hear this is tough. They do have an uninstall guide on their site. Did you follow that?
Otherwise, search on discussions.apple.com for this and you'll see several people posting all of the complex steps.
I've never had to do it myself, so I can't add anything to those posts.
Use App Cleaner. It searches your computer for all that is related to the app you wish to remove.
How about using CleanMyMac3 app uninstall feature,it seems to get rid of all the associated files etc that might get left normally?
I installed Mackeeper on my mbp years ago and never could delete it. Even after direct correspondence with the developer, it remained on my screen and drive until the drive died- that was about 6 years! Never trust that source again.
I concur with Dave Cummings. I used to have problems with MacKeeper, but since using CleanMyMac3 I have had it removed permanently. Some websites will still try and get you to install this, but if I am aware of it, I will not frequent the site. They (MK) are not trustworthy. Thanks Gary for the great article.
