Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship in the rapidly expanding field of infant neuroimaging. The project's goals are to understand how cognitive functions emerge, and to address the pressing clinical problem of detecting which infants with perinatal brain injury will develop atypical cognitive function to facilitate focused and timely intervention.
The project will characterize the development of brain systems in the first year after birth using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It will require an interdisciplinary synthesis across fields, including models of brain function from cognitive neuroscience, MRI acquisition, and data analysis with machine learning. Experience in each of these areas, or a willingness and aptitude to learn them, is essential. You will hold a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) in psychology, computer science, neuroscience, physics, or a related field.
You will be based at the prestigious Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, on Trinity College's campus in the heart of Dublin, which houses 3T and 7T MRI scanners and has strong clinical collaborations. The successful candidate will join an exciting and dynamic research team and will be encouraged to develop their knowledge, technical skills and transferable skills.
The PhD will be directly supervised by Rhodri Cusack, the incoming Thomas Mitchell Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience.


The Brand new mattress consists of four different layers of foam, including up to ten inches of comfort. The latest iteration has a Zoned Support, which will be good to note, in that it has two distinct kinds of foam: One is thicker beneath the shoulder area and the other company to the hip region. It is intended to give the ideal relaxation.
Cover – Its cover is made out of a unique polyester that's thick and usually snaps back into its original location immediately, this means it will not bunch if you create moves during the night. Be aware it is removable so that you can clean it together with the bedding.
Comfort Layer – The layer is made of a latex-like foam that supplies the mattress some fantastic immediate bounce. Whilst this region fast in responding to pressure it gives room for the consumer to sink with ease. Like any latex, this foam also has good cooling quality, making certain the bed will not sleep too hot during the night.
Contour Twist – Below its relaxation layers, one will get the section of the memory foam. This layer gives the body a contouring feel while at the same time relieving pressure to the upper layers.
Support Layer – The next layer is where you get the zoned support that's made with two kinds of a long-lasting polyfoam, with its milder variation put on the edges of the mattress while the warmer one is put in the center. The placement is supposed to assist with pressure support and relief.
1) Firmness – If you employ some form of stress to it something you get is a good bounce. Implementing pressure further, one gets a contouring from its memory foam layer. It will not feel like you're getting stuck in the mattress. Though you might get decent sinkage from its contour layers, its zoned support and polyester foam layers will lift you off the mattress. This means you'll feel like you're sleeping on top instead of on it and won't ever feel stuck. It's good for those who sleep in several places and the mattress's is easy for rolling over when you want to.
Laying In your back — While lying on the back, one gets a fantastic pressure relief from the Casper mattress. The zone service gives space in your lower back in addition to the hip area.
Laying On the side — Since you turn over to the side, you will continue get comfy. The Zoned Support alleviates any strain in the shoulders and shoulders by cradling the memory.
Laying On the stomach — Rolling on the stomach, the mattress does well to maintain the spine in a fantastic alignment. Be aware it is not hard to switch between each one of these different sleeping places.
3) Motion Transport – If one plans on sharing his or her bed with anybody, you need to understand what it feels like if another person moves out of bed or tosses around in the evening time. The mattress is rather typical when it comes to containing virtually any motion. That means you will likely feel it as your partner tosses and turns through the evening but it will not be anything too disturbing.
It Shows less sinkage compared to most other foam mattresses. Additionally, it proves that the upper layer together with the polyester foam base provides the mattress a buoyant lift, supporting the consumer. It is especially beneficial for on-the-stomach and back sleepers.
5) Edge Support – If you share your bed with someone and want to utilize the whole area of the bed, it is a good idea to consider the degree of advantage support the mattress provides. As you lay on your back, you will feel well supported on its own borders. Zoned Support does well in ensuring you are secure at the borders and ensures that you won't fall from the bed. Tossing onto your side, you'll continue to feel secure on the advantages. Most foam mattresses experience extra compression when people sit on them but Casper mattresses do hold up nicely.
• Zoned support – If a person encounters discomfort at the shoulders or hips, an individual will surely get a lot of assistance from the mattress's Zoned Support coating. This section helps to cushion the discomfort arising in various ways, offering a pain-free rest.
• Balanced foam texture — Someone looking to find a good balance foam feel, must contemplate the Casper mattress. Its memory foam, latex as well as the heavy-duty polyester foam operate together perfectly on the mattress to give you a very nice rest encounter.
The Casper mattress encircles great technologies to offer a great sleeping Experience, with a secret being its unique Zoned Support layers that offer a great Pressure support and relief method. After conducting a general review of Casper Mattresses, it is relatively well-constructed and will offer a good return on Your money contemplating its retail cost in the market. So, if You're Experiencing distress at your shoulder or hip area, consider purchasing the Casper mattress.


This renovation began with a simple request to turn a tired 1950's ranch into something larger, two story, and in keeping with a changing neighborhood. The owner really liked the gambrel roof shape, which allows for a lot of room in a limited height. We were able to fit a large master suite with sitting room, plus 2 other large bedrooms into the new second floor, while keeping one bedroom downstairs for guests and turning another into a paneled library. The first floor was completely gutted and redone, with a more open flow and new trim.
Outside, detailing consistent with a Dutch Colonial style was added throughout, giving the house a feeling of being older than the original actually was. In the back, we added a deck over the new sunroom area, which opens out to a bluestone patio that was designed to fit the contours of the hillside behind the house. Copper flashing and gutters, solid wood brackets, an eyebrow window, and bluestone and mahogany porches all help to reinforce the level of quality that now marks this as one of the finer houses in the neighborhood.

'Sophie's Choice' in the time of coronavirus: Deciding who gets the ventilator
Three otherwise healthy patients go to the emergency department with severe acute respiratory failure. Only one ventilator, required to sustain life until the worst of the coronavirus infection has passed, is available. Who gets the vent?
That's what "A Framework for Rationing Ventilators and Critical Care Beds During the COVID-19 Pandemic," a Viewpoint just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), addresses. Douglas White, MD, MAS, Endowed Chair for Ethics in Critical Care Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Bernie Lo, MD, from the University of California, San Francisco, wrote the Viewpoint, which links to a full policy document that's been in the works since 2009. It is being implemented in several states and can easily be adapted to any hospital, Dr. White said in a Webinar on March 27.

Comparing the coronavirus pandemic to past pathogenic threats: HIV, anthrax and Ebola
How does the COVID-19 pandemic compare to other infamous viral infections that have plagued us in modern times? It's a question that's been asked repeatedly in social media circles in recent weeks as people struggle to gain a better understanding of what we are facing.
Recently, I received an answer that was terrifying.
The subject was raised during a March 18 webinar featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He is the nation's top infectious disease expert, who was described recently by the Washington Post as the "grandfatherly captain of the coronavirus crisis".
Dr. Fauci was asked by the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association to put the virus in historical context. His response:

Drugs to Treat Novel Coronavirus Part 2: Rx for Restraint
It's impossible to keep up with entries at ClinicalTrials.gov that include the search term "COVID-19."
Last week when I posted Can Existing Drugs Treat COVID-19? From Viagra to Thalidomide to Cough Syrup here at DNA Science, the number of studies was a tad over 100. Right now, it's at 158, a 50% increase. These are just registered studies – being listed doesn't imply approval, but rather intent to carry out an investigation.
On March 18, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who no longer needs introduction, mentioned chloroquine as an example of a drug that might possibly be repurposed against the novel coronavirus, and that several clinical trials are already evaluating its safety and efficacy against the new disease. Dr. Fauci said this at a webinar series that the Journal of the American Medical Association holds regularly for media. The drug has been used for years to treat malaria, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other conditions.
To continue reading, go to DNA Scienced, where this post first appeared.
Can Existing Drugs Treat COVID-19? From Viagra to Thalidomide to Cough Syrup
As the number of cases of COVID-19 continues to mount, so do entries at clinicaltrials.gov for potential treatments, reaching into the existing pharmacopeia for repurposing candidates.
Clinical trials for COVID-19 treatments range from 10 people to nearly 600, and most are happening in China. But a caveat: ClinicalTrials.gov is a clearinghouse of proposals, not requiring approval. The entries are from all over the world.
Normally – and these are far from normal times – a clinical trial is optimally designed to assess the safety and efficacy of a new treatment on two groups of people, one taking the drug, the other a placebo. Or, in a crossover design, participants take courses of both treatment and placebo at different times but don't know which is when.
The standard, scientific approach to evaluating drugs takes time. Lots of it. And right now, people are hesitant to sign up for a clinical trial knowing that they face a 50:50 chance of being assigned to a placebo group.
How the "F" word—flu—led to confusion as the coronavirus pandemic unfolded
As the world sought to cope with the growing coronavirus outbreak, there was a common refrain uttered by those failing to grasp the severity of this health crisis: "Oh, it's just a bad flu." In fact, they couldn't have been more wrong. Thinking that a novel virus is exactly like a familiar one is like assuming that a guinea pig is the same as a rat.
The confusion arises from using "flu" to denote the familiar litany of respiratory misery, fever and fatigue. These symptoms are mostly due to the response of the immune system to infection. But the specific illness "influenza" is actually due to infection from an influenza virus (not to be further confused with the tiny bacterium Hemophilus influenzae).
The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, puts it succinctly. "This virus is not SARS, it's not MERS, and it's not influenza. It is a unique virus with unique characteristics."
COVID-19 Vaccine Will Close in on the Spikes
As epidemiologists try to stay ahead of the spread of new coronavirus COVID-19, vaccine developers, like Sanofi and Johnson & Johnson, are focusing on the "spike" proteins that festoon viral surfaces. Following clues in genomes is critical to disrupting the tango of infectivity as viruses meet and merge with our cells.
Vaccine developers look specifically to the molecular landscapes where viruses impinge upon our respiratory and immune system cells. Targeting COVID-19 is especially challenging, because efforts to develop a vaccine against its relative, the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV), elicit only partial responses. But those steps are now serving as jumping off points for pharma.
The relationship between viruses and humans can seem like a science fiction plot. The viruses that make us sick may be little more than snippets of genetic material borrowed, long ago, from human genomes. Packaged with their own proteins, viruses return to our bodies, taking over to make more of themselves.
To continue reading, go to my DNA Science weekly blog at Public Library of Science, where this post first appeared.
Will scientists ever get ahead of fast-mutating deadly health viruses? Exploring the coronavirus and the genetics of other viral outbreaks
While COVID-19, the novel coronavirus, dominates health news headlines, less exotic viral foes are still around: influenza, the rhinovirus, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus behind the common cold, norovirus outbreaks aboard cruise ships, and always hepatitis and HIV.
What these viruses share is RNA as their genetic material, a nucleic acid less familiar than DNA. Among the RNA viruses are also West Nile, chikungunya, and those behind Ebola and Marburg hemorrhagic fevers, dengue, rabies, and yellow fever.
When science writer David Quammen made the media rounds recently to discuss COVID-19, he skipped the RNA part – "don't worry about that right now." But his excellent book Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, which charts the predictions of the current situation starting nearly a decade ago, details the significance of RNA viruses.
RNA is a nucleic acid like its cousin DNA, but has uracil in place of thymine as one of the four nitrogen-containing bases that carry each molecule's encrypted information. RNA's sugar – ribose – has an oxygen atom in a place that DNA's deoxyribose doesn't. DNA is the same in every cell of an individual, whereas shorter and shorter-lived RNA molecules carry out the specific DNA instructions that sculpt different cell types and functions.
The inability of RNA to repair itself, as DNA can, allows mutations to accrue in RNA viruses, enabling them to replicate wantonly and spread explosively. And our bodies help them. New viral particles spew from coughs and sneezes, are propelled in vomit, and ooze from blood and diarrhea, often before our immune systems begin to respond.
A Fruit Fly Love Story: The Making of a Mutant 2020
For Valentine's Day, I offer a fly's eye view of my PhD research on the mutation Antennapedia, which replaces fruit flies' antennae with legs.
"The Making of a Mutant" initially appeared in this millennium at Scientific American blogs in 2012. But I wrote it in 1978, sneaking it into a manuscript bound for the journal Genetics to see if my mentor, Thom Kaufman, was paying attention. He was. My story was referenced at his retirement party, generations of genetics grad students at Indiana University having read it.
The story started as a joke, "fly porn." But over the years it has morphed into a metaphor for our times. It's a little like this year's Academy Award winning film Parasite being much more than the crazy narrative it at first seems, instead a simmering statement on classism.
Today, Anton O. Pedia's tale of being different is more timely than ever, as the increasing mixing of people of different ancestries hurtles forward against a frightening new backdrop of hatred, division, marginalization, and dehumanization. As the flies find out, the perception of being different is transient. Life is all about context.
The events and facts reported here are all accurate, to the best of my knowledge.
She knew she was different long before her mother had told her the truth. A sensitive youngster, she could tell from the sneering glances of her neighbors that she was, somehow, not quite like them.

The Giant Squid Genome Holds Surprises
I've been thinking about invertebrates often lately, and so was delighted to learn that the genome of the giant squid has been sequenced. I'll never tire of reading new genome papers.
One of the largest animals known, the giant squid is also one of the most elusive, appearing to us mainly as body parts sporting telltale suckers that have washed ashore. A full grown giant squid can't be comfortably stuffed into an aquarium tank. So most of us know about it from fiction.
Giant Squid in Culture
The giant sea monster of Scandinavian folklore, the Kraken, terrified sailors in vessels along the coastal waters of Norway and Greenland. It was likely a giant squid, as was Homer's tentacled Scylla in The Odyssey. Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, written in 1869, famously featured the animal.
More recently, the 2005 film The Squid and the Whale evokes the image of a giant squid battling a sperm whale depicted in a mesmerizing diorama at the American Museum of Natural History. Director Noah Baumbach borrowed the image as a metaphor for the battling parents of his young protagonists.
True squid stories are intriguing too.
New View of the Brink of Cancer May Validate Preventive Mastectomy
Women who have prophylactic mastectomies to stay ahead of a BRCA2 mutation may have made a wise choice, according to findings of a study just published in Science Advances.
Inheriting a BRCA2 mutation brings a 50 to 80 percent lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. But how does that population statistic shake out at a personal level? Is an individual among the 20 to 50 percent who won't develop the cancer? If not, how long can she safely delay surgery until just before the first inklings of cancer arise?
There's no crystal ball that can predict when cancer will begin, but Leif W. Ellisen and colleagues at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center are coming close. Their clever study detects genetic changes that happen before the effects of the underlying BRCA2 mutation kick in.

Foreclosures send homeless to tent city?
by McQ | December 23, 2007 12:45 pm
Uh, not exactly. Another classic of media dissembling.
The lede:[1]
Between railroad tracks and beneath the roar of departing planes sits "tent city," a terminus for homeless people. It is not, as might be expected, in a blighted city center, but in the once-booming suburbia of Southern California.
The noisy, dusty camp sprang up in July with 20 residents and now numbers 200 people, including several children, growing as this region east of Los Angeles has been hit by the U.S. housing crisis.
The unraveling of the region known as the Inland Empire reads like a 21st century version of "The Grapes of Wrath," John Steinbeck's novel about families driven from their lands by the Great Depression.
As more families throw in the towel and head to foreclosure here and across the nation, the social costs of collapse are adding up in the form of higher rates of homelessness, crime and even disease.
Tent city. U.S. housing crisis. Grown from 20 to 200 residents. "The Grapes of Wrath". Great depression. Foreclosure leads to higher rates of homelessness.
Or does it:
While no current residents claim to be victims of foreclosure, all agree that tent city is a symptom of the wider economic downturn. And it's just a matter of time before foreclosed families end up at tent city, local housing experts say.
Or put another way, everything in the first few paragraphs is apparently a crock of crap.
It's just a matter of times folks. They just have to show up there, because that fits the narrative so darn well.
Yes, foreclosures are up this year and we know why. But the Guardian article claims:
Nationally, foreclosures are at an all-time high. Filings are up nearly 100 percent from a year ago, according to the data firm RealtyTrac.
In fact, per RealtyTrac[2], they're up 67.82% from last year but now trending down. In fact, the numbers for this November are down 10% from last November.
The Guardian further claims:
California ranks second in the nation for foreclosure filings — one per 88 households last quarter.
Actually, the figure, per RealtyTrac is one per 325 households for California, and that is 1.9 times the national average (one per every 617).
No one is arguing that there isn't a housing crisis or that foreclosures are somehow a good thing. But this sort of slipshod and agenda driven "journalism" is just inexcusable.
And it is also another example of the great editing we've become accustomed too from the MSM. Nowhere in the Guardian article was this sort of information to be found:
"The 10 percent drop in November is the first double-digit monthly decrease we've seen since April 2006," said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. "This could indicate that foreclosure activity has topped out for the year, but the true test of whether this ceiling will hold will come at the beginning of next year — when we anticipate that a seasonal surge in foreclosure filings and another possible wave of resetting mortgages could place further pressure on the housing market. But if the trend of flat or decreasing foreclosure activity we've seen over the past three months continues in the first quarter, it would certainly bode well for 2008."
Couldn't have that show up if you're trying to build a tent city, could you? Great job Dana Ford. And a hat tip to your editors as well.

PROVIDENCE — Rhode Island is way ahead of other states when it comes to climate-change planning and policies, according to Grover Fugate, executive director of the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC). But the work is still not enough to adequately address the problems ahead, he said.
"Most of the tools we need don't exist," Fugate said during a March 27 meeting of Gov. Lincoln Chafee's Executive Climate Change Council.
Sea-level rise is already a problem in parts of the state. Fugate noted that a coastal storm drain in Watch Hill is flowing backward, pumping seawater into a parking lot twice a day during high tide.
During heavy rains, storm drains are backing up at the approaches to two relatively new bridges along the Barrington-Warren border. The flooding is of concern because the water bogs down the main road connecting both towns, a road that also serves as an emergency evacuation route.
Sea levels in Rhode Island are elevating faster than the global rate of increase, according to Fugate. He said the height of Narragansett Bay could increase 2-3 feet by 2050.
Higher flood insurance premiums and disputed flood maps have had a "chilling effect" on the local real-estate market, according to Jamia McDonald, executive director of the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA). The CRMC has officially disputed the maps, which Fugate said are based on data from 1970. The maps, he said, overestimate inland flooding and underestimate coastal flooding.
Municipalities are vastly unprepared for the long-term commitment to address climate-change issues such as disaster recovery. "Municipalities we all know are having trouble whether they can even afford police departments and fire departments, let alone major investments for this," Fugate said.
McDonald said RIEMA has significant funds available to pay for infrastructure upgrades. Cities and towns must have approved storm mitigation and recovery plans to receive money for rebuilding after a storm. Twenty-two communities in Rhode Island don't have such a plan.
Superstorm Sandy caused an estimated $42 million in recovery costs, yet the storm only hit Rhode Island with a glancing blow, McDonald said. The Hurricane of 1938 was the last major hurricane to directly strike Rhode Island, Fugate said.
The Executive Climate Change Commission is scheduled to meet again April 4. It plans to deliver an assessment by May 1.


Gabriele Tarquini believes that claiming the inaugural FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) title was harder than his WTCC crown in 2009, due to the competition in WTCR being 'higher' than it was almost a decade ago.
Tarquini, 56, broke his own record for being the oldest FIA world Champion on Sunday in Macau, beating long-time rival Yvan Muller to the WTCR drivers' championship.
The Italian thanked his supporters for helping him to the title, including Hyundai Motorsport, who signed him early on in the project to develop the i30 N TCR.
"I wanted to win because it was a long season, a tough season, the first season of WTCR," said Tarquini. "And I was leading for 90 per cent of the time.
"It's great and WTCR has been great. I must also thank Hyundai for choosing me in the beginning, all the BRC Racing Team, the mechanics and my team-mate [Norbert Michelisz].
Tarquini admitted that, after winning on the début of the Hyundai i30 N TCR on its first competitive appearance in the TCR International Series in 2017, he expected to be in the mix for overall glory in 2018.
"To be honest I expected to be fighting for the title. I already knew the car was very good but there are four Hyundais and the level of the others are very high; Norbi, Yvan and Thed [Björk] are very good.
Tarquini was almost denied the title by Muller though, as the Italian had to score points from 14th on the grid in both of Sunday's races, whilst Muller fought for podiums ahead. In the end the title was won by just three points, with the gap having been at 39 heading into the final weekend.
"I won the title in the hardest way, by my mistake," explained Tarquini. "I cannot blame anybody else, it was my mistake in qualifying.
"Without this it would probably have been easier, but with this mistake starting P14 in the second and third race I knew something could happen during the start.
"In the second race something happened because I was in a very good position, I overtook two or three cars. Somebody crashed in front of me, but we were stopping in the middle of Lisboa and they destroyed the back of my car.
"The third race, probably the worst start of my weekend, but I had a little bit more chance to survive in this corner. After the first lap 50 per cent of the job was done.
Comparing his success to winning the WTCC with SEAT in 2009, Tarquini believes that due to the competition in WTCR, combined with the Balance of Performance [BoP] measures, winning in 2018 was even harder.
"It's on the top because the level of competition is probably higher than 2009 when it was more or less the SEAT drivers in contention.
Looking ahead to 2019, Tarquini hopes to continue in WTCR if Hyundai wish to retain him as one of their drivers.
"To be honest, I don't know yet [about coming back]. I want to cool down. I'm 56, I'm still quite fast, probably a little bit more clever than when I was younger.

Q: How to import css into Components in angular 4 I want to add css into component [Angular 4]. I try to add this into "resume.component.ts" by styleUrls, but I can't access url of assets !!!
Please help me add css this into component. Thanks all :D

A: you can add your css file's relative link in .angular-cli.json (or angular.json for v6) file
here:
"styles": [
  // relative link
]

A: There are many ways of importing CSS file into Angular application.

*

*Angular follows the component structure (angular cli) which will provide you CSS/HTML/TS/Spec.ts file per component.
So you can simply add CSS file for that particular component in @component's styleUrls property (which accept array of file names) by just adding file name , no need to add full path there.

*If you want to add some global CSS in your application then you can add it into the .angular-cli.json file (as you are using angular v4).

*Another way, if you want to import CSS files into another CSS then you can use simply import syntax like this using full path
@import '/assets/css/yourstyle.css';

A: You have to put your files and use the relative path from the assets folder.
For example in the above you've put a css file in src/assets/css/general_style.css, then
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/general_style.css">

A: You type wrong path. asset => assets
@import '/asset/css/main_style.css';
please change to
@import '/assets/css/main_style.css';

Q: Populating Combobox column in Datagridview from data source I need your help regarding C# datagridview.
I want to generate a datagridview from a datasource.
The data grid view has 4 column.
Column1: firstname
Column2: Last name
Column3: gender
Column4: Country.
Country column is a combobox column.
I have created the datasource accordingly and set the data source to the grid.
First three column is generating but the Combo box is not getting added.
 Here is the example code of my app
List<Mydataclass> dataclassList = new List<Mydataclass>();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            Mydataclass dataclass = new Mydataclass();
            dataclass.firstname = "firstname" + i;
            dataclass.secondname = "second name" + i;
            dataclass.gender = "gender" + i;
            dataclass.country = new string[] { "BD", "AUS"};

            dataclassList.Add(dataclass);

        }
BindingSource bindingSource1 = new BindingSource();

        bindingSource1.DataSource = dataclassList;
        dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;

When I run the app, the datagrid is showing up with 3 column but the combo box column is not generating.
Please help me to find the issue.
Thanks in advance.

A: This is what works for me:
// This is the list of items to be displayed in the DataGridView Combobox Column
string[] listOfItems = new string[]{"Apple", "Banana", "Orange"};

// Define a BindingSource and add the items to it (alas, there is no AddRange())
BindingSource bs = new BindingSource();

foreach (string item in listOfItems)
{
    bs.Add(item);
}

// Set binding (MyComboColumn is the name you gave to your combo column, see image below)
this.MyComboColumn.DataSource = bs;

« Peretz's x-ray vision
Salam Fayyad »
Jews against Israel
By Vic Rosenthal
What it is about some Jews that makes them irrationally hate Israel?
Why do we have a group of Jews, often more well-informed about the Mideast than the general population, who are almost as anti-Israel as Arabs?
Why are these Jews always prepared to criticize Israel harshly for what they believe are human-rights violations in the territories but prepared to ignore or even try to justify far more egregious violations on the part of Palestinians?
Why are these Jews prepared to believe almost any accusation against Israel made by the Palestinians, who are notoriously prone to exaggeration or even fabrication, but assume that any statements made by the Israeli government are lies?
Why are they often prominent in such organizations as the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) which provide direct support to Israel's enemies?
Why are they often prepared to deny the Jews the right to self-determination and Israel the right to exist, when they don't deny these to any other people or state?
An important aspect of Jewish criticism of Israel is this: it is always couched in moral terms: Israel violates Palestinian rights because it is racist, Israeli soldiers deliberately target civilians, Israel should not exist.
It's interesting to compare Jews to Palestinians in this regard. Although there are Palestinians critical of some or all of the Palestinian factions, it almost always takes a practical rather than moral form. For example, even the 'moderate' Mahmoud Abbas has said that firing Qassam missiles into Sderot is damaging chances for a Palestinian state; but not that it's immoral for Palestinians to shoot at Israeli civilians. The kind of moral criticism that one hears directed at Israel from, say, a Tony Judt or a Jacqueline Rose, is almost never aimed by Palestinians at Palestinian terorism.
Palestinians are capable of moral self-criticism, however. The recent fighting between the factions did generate such expressions — but only because Palestinians were killing Palestinians.
Various explanations for this phenomenon have been proposed. Some of them relate specifically to Diaspora Jews, while others can also be applied to Israelis.
The Jewish prophetic tradition: Jews like Jeremiah have been the harshest critics of their own establishments. Secular Jews, perhaps without knowing the sources, often embody Jewish traditions. Israel, at least since 1967, has become the symbol of established Jewish power.
Stockholm syndrome: Jews are psychologically drawn to their enemies as a way to (unconsciously and irrationally) protect themselves from them.
Guilt of the privileged: the anti-Israel Jew is usually well-educated and well-off, and he may feel guilty for his privileged position in the world compared to, for example, most Palestinians. Jews are especially susceptible to this because of the Torah's injunctions to behave justly (which, like prophetic self-criticism, inform even the secular Jewish worldview).
Guilt on abandoning Judaism or Zionism: paradoxically, a Jew may feel shame that he has left the religion of his parents, or failed to support his own people's struggle for self-determination; hence, by turning against these things or even against the Jewish people as a whole, he justifies his abandonment.
The need to belong: Diaspora Jews often grow up with a distinct feeling that they are in a somewhat isolated minority – and one with a disreputable image. As one can see by observing children, there is a basic human need to belong to groups that are felt to be dominant. So by rejecting Israel (and often their Jewishness, as ISM leader Adam Shapiro has done), they are in effect joining the majority group.
There are probably other explanations. The point is that because these mechanisms are to a great extent unconscious and irrational, they are hard to argue against using facts and logic. Because most of them imply an unconscious desire on the part of the Jewish critic to be separated as much as possible from Jews and Israel, the critic, in his effort to create this distance, develops an emotional identification with the Jews' antagonists.
So although it's possible to say "how can you criticize the security fence when it prevents terrorist murders?" the irrational Jewish critic of Israel identifies and therefore empathizes more closely with the Palestinian farmers who have difficulty reaching their olive trees than with the Jewish victims of terrorism.
Human behavior is motivated, to a far greater extent than many of us would like to believe, by emotions and not by reasoning. That's why good advertising and good propaganda is primarily aimed at emotional triggers. That's why it's possible to present a news story with a wholly different slant without changing any of the facts presented in it, just by modifying the emotional context in which the facts are presented.
It seems that the availability of Jewish voices for their cause is well-understood by some elements in the anti-Israel coalition, and it is exploited. There's no more convincing argument against Israel than to say that even the Jews condemn her.
For further reading on this subject, see the excellent series On Jewish Israel-Haters which appears on the Peace with Realism site.

Has Clinitest Become Obsolete?
Detection of non-specific reducing substances in urine was begun more than 50 years ago as a screening test for inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism in pediatric patients. The clinical basis of this test goes back to the early-to-mid 1960s when investigations showed a relationship between the presence of reducing substances in the urine of newborns, and the presence of specific sugars. The qualitative measurement of urinary reducing substances was accepted as a quick screening test of asymptomatic patients in the absence of any other screening procedure. Home-brew reagents were eventually replaced by commercially available Clinitest tablets. Clinitest was usually run as a reflex test on urine samples with a negative dipstick glucose result. A negative dipstick glucose assay and a positive reducing test suggest that some substance other than glucose is present in the urine. These sugars include galactose, lactose, and fructose. However, Clinitest, which involves the reduction of colorless cupric ion to colored cuprous ion, is not specific for sugars. Many drugs produce a positive result. Today, all states require mandatory newborn screening for more than 30 inborn errors of metabolism using tandem mass spectrometry. This testing detects galactosemia, which is the most common inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism. Other diseases of carbohydrate metabolism (except diabetes) have much lower prevalence or are clinically more benign than galactosemia and do not require screening of asymptomatic newborns. Based on this information, clinical laboratories can discontinue automatic reflex testing for reducing substances in children less than 2 years of age. Clinitest should only be performed after receipt of a specific order from a physician.

You've heard of gin made with hops - but beer made with gin? In a world first, Saint Arnold Brewing Company in Houston, Texas - the state's oldest craft brewers - is releasing a new barrel-aged IPA which has been aged for five months in gin barrels sourced from Smooth Ambler Spirits craft distillery. The 10.4% ABV offering, named Bishop's Barrel No 11, is brewed with Pale, Two Row and Caramel malts with Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial hops, which is complemented by the gin barrel's juniper notes. Initially the limited edition will launch only in Texas and Louisiana.


I became a "serious" comic book fan right around the time that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was about to make the move from hot indie series to pop cultural phenomenon. I can remember buying my first Turtles book while on vacation...a back issue of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2...just because I so wanted to check out this weird thing that was getting so much hype in the mail-order comic ads. Soon after that, I was blown away to see the first issue of the Archie Comics series in a Waldenbooks. Even my 11-year-old self could recognize that this wasn't so indie anymore.
Heck, even Marvel eventually threw their hat in the ring, making an X-Men themed parody of the book that was intended, in part, as an X-Men parody!
At some point, I'd love to see a complete list of these put together. There are some pretty good compilations out there, such as this blog post in Russian, but I don't know of anything that claims (or tries) to be comprehensive. In a world with infinite time, I guess I'd do it.
This is a fun list. Well done, sir.
Well, now, that pretty much writes itself, doesn't it?

The Harbin An Jung-Geun Statue: A Korea/China-Japan Historical Memory Controversy ハルビンの安重根石碑と韓・中対日歴史認識論議
Franklin Rausch
Volume 11 | Issue 48 | Number 2
The Chinese and South Korean governments have recently announced the building of a new monument to An Jung-Geun in Harbin. An is most famous for his 1909 assassination of Itō Hirobumi, a high Japanese official who framed the Meiji constitution, served as prime minister, and is credited with being one of the great modernizers of the Meiji period. Itō also led Japan's colonization of Korea and negotiated the Treaty of Shimonoseki with Li Hongzhang, which concluded the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), giving Japan control over Taiwan, the Kwantung Peninsula, and reparations equal to several times the Qing Empire's annual budget. For these reasons, Itō is widely reviled and An lionized in Korea and China. By contrast, Itō remains an iconic figure in Japan and the Japanese government has responded to the news of the plan to honor the man who killed one of the nation's modern heroes in this way by stating that it would "not be good for their relations and that An was a criminal."
An Jeung-Gen before his execution
News coverage has followed fairly predictable contours, largely focusing on the same statements issued by government spokespeople (China helps South Korea celebrate the assassin of a Japanese colonial official - The Economist; China & South Korea reject complaint from Japan about statue of assassin - South China Morning Post; S. Korean president proposes memorial of anti-Japanese hero in China - Asahi Shimbun; Which Japan is real? - Korea Times), However, my eye was particularly drawn to an article on the Japan Today website (China praises Korean assassin whom Japan calls "criminal") which images of An: anti-Japanese hero and criminal. Noticeably absent in all of this is any thoughtful consideration of who An was or what might have driven him to shoot Itō.
To introduce the current conflict, Japan Today features the July 28 photo of Korean soccer fans unfurling two giant posters of An Jung-Geun (Ahn Jung-Geun in the original article) during an East Asian Cup match and goes straight to the much-quoted statement by Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hong Fei that, "Ahn Jung-Geun is a very famous anti-Japanese fighter in history." The term anti-Japanese carries multiple resonances here. Hong alludes to An's struggle for Korean independence even as his words echo Chinese terminology for its eight-year war with Japan (1937-1945). For their part, the Korean soccer fans who unfurled the An posters likely intended their act in a broadly anti-Japanese manner.
Interestingly, a survey of An's writings and his interrogation and trial transcripts turns up little that is anti-Japanese in this broad sense. In fact, An invariably referred politely to the Japanese Emperor and avoided criticism of the Japanese people and government as a whole. In the fifth session of his trial (February 12, 1910), An justified his killing of Itō by arguing that he was protecting Japanese people who had been hurt by Itō's policies. An recounted in his autobiography that he and his father had been recognized by a Japanese military officer for their efforts in putting down the Donghak Rebellion (1894-1895) against the Qing dynasty.
Ito Hirobumi on Japan's 1,000 Yen note
Popular images of An dwell on the actual killing of Itō, ignoring what An hoped to gain by doing so. According to his autobiography, after his arrest, a Japanese prosecutor asked him why he had killed Itō. An explained that Itō had tricked the Japanese Emperor into believing that everything in Korea was going smoothly and that Koreans approved of the protectorate that Japan had established there in 1907 when in fact a violent conflict raged on the peninsula. An then told the prosecutor, "Please quickly inform His Majesty the Emperor of what I have said. It is my hope that Itō's evil policy can be rectified and the East rescued from its precarious position." An believed that Itō had tricked the Japanese Emperor and was a rogue official following his own policy. Now that he was disposed of and his "lies" had been revealed, An believed the Meiji Emperor would reform his country's policy. Killing Itō was, in short, not An's final goal, but a means toward that goal. Since An actually succeeded in killing Itō, it is that act which receives the most attention. However, such a focus obscures why An acted as he did, allowing people to project their own anti-Japanese feelings on to his motives.

An's post-trial statements during a hearing about a possible appeal provides a better understanding of how he viewed Japan. As he put it, "Japan's position in East Asia can be likened to the head of a person" and "Korea, China, and Japan are like brothers in the world and therefore they should be closer to each other than to anyone else." Based on these ideas, An presented a plan for a loose confederation, in which China, Japan, and Korea would cooperate with each other economically and militarily allowing the three countries to develop while each maintained its sovereignty. An believed that Japan should take the lead since it had successfully modernized. Rather than being anti-Japanese or desiring to defeat Japan, An hoped China and Korea could be friends with Japan while enjoying autonomy and cooperation.
South Korea's ministry spokesperson Cho Tai Young's statement in the same Japan Today article that "Martyr Ahn sacrificed his life not [only?] for the country's independence but for regional peace as well" therefore provides a fairly accurate account of An's own concerns. This is in fact the position of An's official memorial organization in Korea (it manages An's memorial hall as mentioned in the article), which is careful to include Japanese representatives in conferences and memorial services dedicated to An. (By contrast, many unofficial organizations focus more on An as a means of unifying North and South Korea). However, what is omitted is the fact that the foundation of An's thought was regional peace and Pan-Asianism in particular, the belief that the "yellow race" should work together in order to protect itself from the imperialism of the "white race." Further complicating matters is that during his appeal hearing, An explained that "if the emperors of the three countries of Japan, China, and Korea were to meet with the Roman Pope, take their oaths together, and then be crowned by him, the world would be astounded by the news." The legitimacy that papal coronation would bring to these East Asian nations would prevent Western countries from threatening them, An believed, leading not only to peace in the region, but throughout the world. As a devout Catholic who often looked to European priests for guidance, it is no surprise that An would seek to incorporate the pope into his plans, though it is certainly not something that most Pan-Asianists would do. This, and the fact that the nationalist An would look to Japan for help in building up Korea and China, is a testament to the complexity of the times An lived in and the tensions within his own thought.
In contrast to these positive Chinese and Korean images of An, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide described him as a "criminal." An was of course found guilty of murder by the Kwantung (Japanese) Government-General District Court. However, this simple image of An the convicted assassin ignores the problematic legal processes that resulted in the court's verdict. First, An killed Itō on territory claimed by the Qing Empire that was administered by Russia. Consequently, much of An's trial was devoted to arguments over whether Japan did indeed have jurisdiction in the case. Such legal arguments arose from the fact that the Russians, who had arrested An and who were seeking better relations with Japan, decided to turn him over to the Japanese consul in Harbin almost immediately after taking him into custody. Moreover, the trial itself, held in Port Arthur (Ryojun/ Lüshun) was a show trial. It was incredibly short (it met only for six sessions, with each lasting a single day or less) and each time that An was given the opportunity to speak he was pressured to be brief. Moreover, the trial was conducted completely in Japanese, with An only given a brief outline in Korean of what was being said. He was assigned two Japanese defense lawyers, which was presented as a benevolent act that went beyond the requirements of Japanese law. The lawyers provided An a competent defense (for instance, An was compared to the heroes of Imperial Restoration in Japan who had used violence to overthrow the Tokugawa state). They did not, however, provide him with the defense he wanted—that Itō's actions in Korea were themselves criminal and that An had, therefore, acted justly in using violence against him. Moreover, the Foreign Ministry had ordered the judiciary to find An guilty and assign the death penalty before the trial had even begun.
An's conviction was useful for justifying Japan's colonization of Korea. If An was a criminal, then Itō was an innocent victim and, extending the logic, his policy of colonization was likewise legal. Consider the list of Ito's crimes compiled by An for his defense:
1) The crime of killing Empress Min (An incorrectly thought that Itō had ordered the killing since he was prime minister when it occurred in 1895)
2) The crime of forcing the Emperor of Korea (Gojeong) to abdicate
3) The crime of forcing the conclusion of the five- and seven-article treaties
4) The crime of slaughtering innocent Koreans
5) The crime of forcibly seizing political power
6) The crime of seizing railroads, mines, and land
7) The crime of forcing the use of the paper money issued by the First Bank
8) The crime of disbanding the Korean army
9) The crime of obstructing education
10) The crime of preventing Koreans from being educated overseas
11) The crime of confiscating and burning textbooks
12) The crime of deceiving the world by saying that Korea wanted to be protected by Japan
13) The crime of tricking the emperor [of Japan] into thinking that things in Korea are peaceful and without incident when in fact between Korea and Japan there is no end of war and slaughter
14) The crime of destroying peace in the East
15) The crime of killing His Highness the Japanese Emperor's father, the former emperor (Kōmei).
By listing these crimes, An presented Japan's colonization of Korea as illegitimate. Itō is presented as having forcibly taken over the state, making it into his puppet (according to his autobiography, An said as much to a group of pro-Japanese Ilchinhoe followers who kidnapped him for a brief period, declaring "The so-called Korean government is one in name only. In reality, it is Itō's private state. Koreans who obey the government's orders are really obeying Itō.") Yet, while An contended that Itō had to be killed, he had to argue how he could legitimately wield lethal violence. He did this during his third trial session (February 9, 1910), stating that "For three years I have been traveling about encouraging the people [to join the Righteous Army] and I also fought as a lieutenant-general in this [Righteous] Army. I committed this evil act (the word "evil" appears in the transcripts but was probably added by the Japanese interpreter) as a lieutenant-general in the Righteous Army engaged in a war of independence and not as a common assassin. For this reason I am now on trial but I maintain that I am not a common criminal but a prisoner of war." An's words, spoken through an interpreter at trial, are rough, but he is making an important point—since Itō had illegally seized control of the Korean government under the guise of legal treaties, An and other Koreans had taken up arms on behalf of a government that could no longer protect them, or even itself, thereby appropriating the state's right to legitimately utilize lethal violence. In this way, in an early formulation of the right to rebel exercised by anti-colonial movements throughout the long twentieth century, he challenged the foundations of the Japanese colonial project in Korea. Despite the loss of that empire with its defeat in 1945, judging by the reaction of the current Japanese government, this man, dead for a century, still poses a challenge today.
Though it could only happen if there is a willingness by the governments involved to shift from the above portrayals of An, if the statue is indeed erected, it should include quotes from An's actual writings on its base, and souvenir stands nearby should make available editions of his works in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English and other languages, so that people can learn about An and the difficult time he lived in through his own words. In particular, one of the most important lessons An has to teach is that when law becomes a weapon used to justify the power of the strong, rather than a shield to protect the weak, only chaos, conflict, and violence follow. And that is a lesson not just for the people of East Asia, but for all humanity.

A short time later, the caller told police that one combatant armedhimself with a gun, and someone had been shot, Spike said. When officers arrived, they discovered a critically injured mansuffering from multiple gunshot wounds, Spike said. The victim was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center, where he waspronounced dead, Spike said. His name was not immediately released. Following the shooting, police learned that the victim lived at anapartment complex near the intersection — Continental Gardens at 300 N.Sunrise Way, he said. The gunman was reportedly dating a woman that was associated with thevictim, Spike said. The investigation also revealed that the assailant fought with thevictim before he retrieved a handgun from his vehicle, and according towitnesses, the gunman then fired at least six rounds toward the victim,striking him multiple times, Spike said.

Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines, his follow up to his Oscar-nominated Blue Valentine, is big, sprawling and highly ambitious. It is his attempt at an American opus that's equal parts Tennessee Williams and Sidney Lumet, a movie where the sins of the father are passed unto their sons, so on and so forth, making the picture a multigenerational epic filled with interesting characters, heartbreaking situations and broadly emotional ideas.
The truth of the matter is, while G.I. Joe: Retaliation is without a doubt a far superior effort to its predecessor, while it does contain more than its fair share of fun moments and has more than a few performances worthy of a gentle tip of the hat, I don't have the slightest wish to watch it again at any point in the foreseeable future. Make of that what you will.
The propulsive nature of the visuals is a sensory revolution, while the climactic fade to black is eccentrically nifty, putting the themes littered throughout Welcome to the Punch into a provocative perspective I wasn't anticipating.
I was pleased to discover how grounded and honest this potentially silly narrative turned out to be. Keeping the focus on Portia, never belittling her, always treating her with respect, never making fun of her actions or attempting to transform the character into a figure of ridicule or pity, Admission does a solid job of making her a fully-formed figure, and as such she becomes incredibly easy to relate to as things progress.
Not for the faint of heart, certainly not for anyone looking for a pleasant diversion or a happy night out at the multiplex, Mungiu's Beyond the Hills is nonetheless a fantastical stunner and, without question, a work of art I'm unlikely to soon forget.
Makinov shows he knows what he's doing, ratcheting up tension at times in ways that had me sitting on the edge of my seat ready to gnaw the nails off of my fingers.
While nothing unexpected happens, while there weren't any surprises, the comfort I felt in seeing this family break new ground while coming closer together as a unit still put a smile on my face, and as such The Croods ended up being a sojourn into the fantastically prehistoric I kind of adored.
My feelings towards Olympus Has Fallenaren't exactly euphoric, and my reaction to the overall motion picture itself isn't anywhere near positive. At the same time, for a schlock Die Hard variation (i.e. knockoff) Fuqua's film isn't anything close to a disaster, it's too competently acted and directed for that to be the case. At the same, it's also not anything even slightly special, making watching it more of thing to do when there's nothing else to do than a necessity worthy of rushing out to the multiplex to experience.

Have I ever told y'all how much I adore my people?! <3 :) Pictured here is a moujahid from Iraqi Islamic Resistance group Harakat Hizbullah al-Nujaba (HHN) hanging the banner of Ansarullah, the Yemeni Islamic Resistance, in a liberated section of Mosul. The American regime has desperately attempted to sideline the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (of which HHN is a part), as a means of expanding the Washington ZOG's influence throughout Iraq, but has miserably failed. Those who suffered under US-'Israeli'-backed ISIS occupation KNOW, in their hearts and deep in the marrow of their bones, that it was the dauntless men of the Iraqi Resistance who liberated them from their torment, not the Zio-Imperialist powers which injected terrorism into Iraq to begin with. Love, appreciation and most importantly, synergy between the Mobilization and Iraqi civilians can be found across Mesopotamia. The residents of this Mosul neighborhood not just allowing HHN to parade the Houthis' slogan of perfection, but encouraging it, is merely one example. This gesture by the HHN fighter is a defiant display of solidarity with Yemen and an acknowledgement of our common worldview as well as our common enemy: Al-Saud fights the people of Mouqawamah directly in Yemen whilst fighting the people of Mouqawamah by proxy in Iraq, with both wars on both our peoples being criminally waged on the usurping Zionist entity's behalf.
Lest we forget that Sayyed Hussein al-Houthi (R.A.) modeled Ansarullah's slogan after the teachings and chants of Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Khomeini (R.A.) Though there are theological differences between our Zaydi Shi'a brethren and we Jaafari/Twelver Shi'a, the Muhammadi-Husseini essence blazes in the same incandescent way. And Iraqi displays of brotherhood with Yemen and rage against Saudi Arabia's ongoing aggression are in fact routine. Last year Imam Ali (A.S.) Brigade Commander and Iraq's most recognizable terrorist-slayer Abou Azrael met with an Ansarullah delegation and told them that the very moment Iraq is rid of Daesh, he and his men were at their service and he vowed to crush Saudi Arabia's army into dust. When Saudi brigades within ISIS's ranks are targeted by Harakat al-Nujaba, Iraq's moujahideen chant the name of Ansarullah and its leader, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, to taunt and humiliate the Takfiri filth. Yemeni flags are often seen at Iraqi Resistance demos. And so on. Just as we share a bond with Syria, through the presence of our best and bravest in the trenches against Al-Qaeda and on the Golan front lines… And just as we share a bond with Hizbullah, through the pedigrees of our warriors who had the honor of being trained by the likes of Muhammad "Abou Issa" Issa (R.A.), Hajj Ali "Alaa Bosnia" Fayyad (R.A.) and Hajj Imad Mughniyeh (R.A.)… We share a bond with Yemen, its people and its Resistance that is as unbreakable as our wills to defy our oppressors. Brotherly love! A Mouqawamist marriage! In the face of the Empire of Zion, Bilad al-Rafidayn and the Yemeni nation stand as one!

When I tried for the first time Visual Studio Code on my Mac I remained quite impressed about its performances.
The investment Microsoft did during the last few years on this editor is really remarkable, considering also that it's an open source software and not a commercial one.
As you know with Visual Studio Code you can create your own extensions and then share with the community inside the marketplace.
You can download the extension called vscode-annotations directly from the marketplace or inside the extensions panel in Visual Studio Code editor.
If you want instead take a look to the source, feel free to clone the project from Github.
If you wanna quickly start working on an extension, there is a Yeoman generator provided by the Visual Studio Code team that will create the folder structure and the necessary files for publishing your extension later on.
After that you will have your project ready and you can start to have fun with Visual Studio Code!
if you prefer start with the classic Hello World project feel free to check Microsoft tutorial.
The first two will create an output panel inside the editor showing the annotations present inside a specific file or an entire workspace, the third one will create a markdown file with all the annotations for a specific project.
"title": "ANNOTATIONS: check current file"
"title": "ANNOTATIONS: export markdown file"
"title": "ANNOTATIONS: check current project"
so in the commands array we are just defining the label that will be inside the command palette and the action that should be triggered when the user selects a specific command.
Microsoft is providing a well documented APIs for interacting with the editor, obviously, because it's based on Electron bear in mind that you can also use Node.js APIs for extending the functionalities of your extension, for instance to create a file or interacting with the operating system.
When you want to interact with the editor manipulating files or printing inside the embedded console you need to deal with the workspace APIs.
With window and workspace you can handle end to end the editor UI and the project selected.
Window object is mainly use to understand what's happening inside a file meanwhile an user is editing it.
With the workspace object instead, you will be able to manage all the interactions that are happening inside the menu or editor interface.
Workspace object is useful when you want to iterate trough the project files or if you need to understand which files are currently open in the editor and when they will be closed for instance.
Considering you are developing an extension for an editor you can easily debug what you are doing simply running the extension debug mode (F5 or fn+F5 from your macbook).
console.dir doesn't work, console.log will substitute what console.dir does if you are inspecting an object but not an array!
Last part of this brief post will be related to the submission of your extension to the Visual Studio Code marketplace.
vsce command line tool is pretty good in order to create a publisher identity and super fast to publish an application on the marketplace.
There could be tons of other things to do and to discover for developing a Visual Studio Code extension but I think that could be a good recap of the lessons learnt for creating one that you could use along with the Microsoft guide.

Edward Ellison, MD, Shares Permanente Medicine Approach to Opioid Safety on SiriusXM
Edward Ellison, MD
Edward M. Ellison, MD, executive medical director and chairman of the board, Southern California Permanente Medical Group, was recently tapped for his opioids expertise in an interview on Doctor Radio Reports on SiriusXM. He and other physician experts spoke with show host Perri Peltz one week after President Trump declared the opioids epidemic a national public health emergency.
Dr. Ellison, who is also co-CEO of The Permanente Federation, shared the core elements of Kaiser Permanente's Safe and Appropriate Opioid Prescribing Program and the program's success due to a coordinated, integrated care model. Once the pain syndrome is diagnosed, he explained, it's a matter of providing the right number of prescriptions and ensuring that the patient truly understands the risks involved.
"It's a really comprehensive system that involves education for the physician, for the patient, and a system of care for all the specialists," he said in the radio interview. "Physicians want to do the right thing, and we want to make it easy for them to do the right thing."

China-EU joint statement shows commitment to solidarity, cooperation
Updated: Apr 10,2019 9:23 PM Xinhua
BEIJING — A recent joint statement issued by a China-EU leaders' meeting demonstrates the commitment of both two sides to solidarity and cooperation in the face of challenges to multilateralism, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said at a press briefing on April 10.
The 21st China-EU leaders' meeting co-chaired by Premier Li Keqiang and EU leaders issued a joint statement on April 9, dismissing media stories that both sides were so far apart they would not be able to issue a joint document.
Speaking of positive remarks on the progress of China-EU relations, spokesperson Lu Kang said China and the EU were on the same page in terms of broad common interests, win-win pragmatic cooperation, upholding multilateralism, an open world economy, opposing protectionism, unilateralism, improving global governance and maintaining world peace and stability.
"It's quite normal China and the EU to disagree on certain issues," Lu said, noting that the joint statement showed that differences could be properly addressed via dialogue and consultation.
"It's a demonstration of the high-level China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership, and the spirit of win-win cooperation on a mutually beneficial basis."
Lu said as the two major stabilizing forces and economies, China and the EU were committed to upholding multilateralism, and respecting international laws and basic norms governing international relations, with the United Nations at the core.
"In the context of the complex and volatile international situation, the joint statement demonstrates China and the EU's commitment to solidarity and cooperation in the face of the challenges to multilateralism," the spokesperson said, calling the significance of the joint statement as "going beyond the bilateral scope."
"China stands ready to work with the EU in implementing the consensus reached at the meeting, to advance China-EU cooperation to a higher level, and make sustained contribution to world peace and development," Lu added.
