The global market for medical oxygen concentrators is mainly fuelled by the growing prevalence of COPD globally. The swift rise in the patient pool ailing from other lung diseases such as smoking-related lung conditions, asthma, and lung cancer is leading to an increasing demand for oxygen supply units. Oxygen supply units such as medical oxygen concentrators display widespread demand due to advantages of portability and uninterrupted oxygen supply. In addition, favorable government policies area also boosting the uptake of medical oxygen concentrators.
On the other hand, however, a large number of oxygen concentrators that have continuous flow technology mechanism account for huge wastage of energy and oxygen even when not in use. Furthermore, the high cost of portable oxygen concentrators is limiting their adoption in emerging economies.
The global market for medical oxygen concentrators is predicted to be valued at US$2.41 bn by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 8.5% between 2016 and 2024. The market was valued at US$1.25 bn in 2016.
The report studies the medical oxygen concentrators market based on a few parameters, viz. modality, technology, end-user, and geography. Depending on modality, this market is bifurcated into portable and stationary. In 2015, portable oxygen concentrators displayed the leading demand due to attributes of easy to carry, light weight, small size, and function on rechargeable lithium batteries. Portable oxygen concentrators can be used for individuals of any age without disrupting their everyday activities. Due to several advantages of portable oxygen concentrators, they are likely to acquire the leading market share over the forecast period. Stationary oxygen concentrators, on the other hand, operate on alternating current and are suitable to be used while at home.
By technology, continuous flow technology and pulse flow technology are the segments into which the medical oxygen concentrators market is divided. Vis-à-vis growth rate, pulse flow technology currently leads the medical oxygen concentrators market. This is because pulse flow technology discharges concentrated oxygen only during inhalation. As such, continuous working of oxygen concentrators is not required which helps save considerable power. By end user, home care, hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centers are the key segments into which the medical oxygen concentrators market is divided. Among them, the home care segment currently accounts for the leading revenue contribution to the overall market.
Geography-wise, the global market for medical oxygen concentrators could be segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. Vis-à-vis volume, North America displayed the leading demand for medical oxygen concentrators in 2015 due to significant use of portable oxygen concentrators for home care needs. In the years ahead too, the region is likely to continue to hold dominance. Europe is the second-leading market owing to substantial awareness among consumers regarding advantages of oxygen concentrators over their conventional counterparts.
Asia Pacific and Latin America collectively held 31.4% share in the global medical oxygen concentrators market in 2015, and are perceived as high potential regions due to unmet medical demand.
Leading players in the global medical oxygen concentrators market include Chart Industries Inc., Invacare Corporation, Resmed Inc., Precision Medical Inc., O2 Concepts LLC, Inogen Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare LLC, Besco Medical Co.Ltd., and GCE Group.
Medical oxygen concentrators are used by patients suffering from COPD and other respiratory diseases. Patients having low level of oxygen in their blood are prescribed to use oxygen concentrators. Oxygen concentrators are to be used only with prescription and cannot be purchased over the counter. Medical oxygen concentrators work either on rechargeable lithium batteries or by continuous electric supply. The medical oxygen concentrators are produces oxygen from the surrounding air. It works on the principle of compression of air by which the concentrators are prevented from overheating. After taking the air from the surrounding nitrogen is removed through the air filters and with adjusted delivery rate purifies oxygen is delivered to the patients with the help of nasal cannula or mask. The global medical oxygen concentrators market is segmented by modality, technology, end users and geography.

I love Jimmy John's virginia ham sandwich with provolone. The bread's fresh and soft, toppings are simple. These sandwiches are good and not-too-complicated at all. Service is friendly, and the atmosphere's comfortable.


Honda took a big gamble with its wholesale overhaul of the popular Accord midsized sedan. The redesign includes the addition of new turbocharged engines, an available hybrid powertrain, comprehensive changes to the control layout, and standard crash-avoidance features, all wrapped in an attractive, coupe-like body. Some of the Accord's goodness stems from its 192-hp, 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
ABS available, standard from 2003. Side air bags available from 2000, standard from 2005. Head protection air bags available from 2003, standard from 2005. ESC available from 2006, standard from 2008. FCW optional from 2013, AEB optional from 2016.

Some of the Accord's goodness stems from its 192-hp, 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) works well but, as with many CVTs, it exacerbates engine noise during high power demands, when the driver steps on it. The combination delivered ample power in our EX sedan. The Accord is one of the quickest cars in its class, yet it averages an excellent 31 mpg overall, a 1-mpg improvement over the previous Accord four-cylinder.
The Reliability score is based on our latest subscriber survey of 2018 Honda Accord owners. The owner comments describe problems respondents experienced with this vehicle.

The composer shares this description:
The word acadiana refers to a region comprising much of the southern half of the state of Louisiana, where Cajun culture and heritage are most predominant. Acadiana honors that heritage, and completes a trilogy of Cajun inspired works I have composed for concert band over a twenty-five year period. The trilogy, comprised of Cajun Folk Songs (1989), Cajun Folk Songs II (1996), and the present work (2015), draws from personal childhood memories growing up in South Louisiana, and captures in music my lifelong love of Cajun music and culture.
Acadiana is composed in three movements. The first is a bright and lively dance that makes use of two different Cajun rhythmic features: 1) un valse in deux temps (a waltz in two times), a Cajun dance rhythm that alternates between triple and duple meters; and, later in the movement, 2) a lively Cajun two-step dance.
The second movement, composed in memory of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, serves as the emotional heart of the entire work. It is constructed as a set of six variations on an ancient Cajun ballad, La fille de quartorze ans, (The fourteen-year-old-girl). The melody, which doesn't appear until about ninety seconds into the movement, is first stated by the piccolo and tuba four octaves apart from each other. As the variations unfold, the music slowly grows in volume and speed, finally bursting out into a wildly chaotic climax. Amidst this chaos, several old Cajun folk songs make short, cameo appearances, and combine with original music to create a complex, frenzied texture that reminds me of some of the wonderful melodic pastiches of American composer Charles Ives. The energy eventually collapses into dark and powerful sustained brass chord, which in turn slowly gives way to a final, prayer-like statement of the melody.
Beginning without a pause, the final movement is an exalted dance that makes use of a variant on an old Cajun folk melody whose origins are clouded by history (as is the case with so many folksongs). The tune may have first appeared in the folksong Jeunes gens campagnard (Young Country Gentlemen); however, many years later, in the late 1920s, a variant of the tune was used for the song Allons a Lafayette (Let's go to Lafayette). My own melodic variant is quite removed from either of these ascendants, while still upholding their inherent joie de vivre. From beginning to end, the finale is an exuberant celebration of life. Laissez les bon temps rouler ("let the good times roll!")
Frank Ticheli's latest work, Acadiana, was commissioned by these groups: Metropolitan Wind Symphony (Lewis J. Buckley, Music Director), New England Youth Wind Ensemble at UMass Lowell (Deb Huber, Music Director), and MIT Concert Band (Thomas Reynolds, Music Director).

Allows a business to lodge specific stipulations so that these can just be changed if more stringent as well as stringent demands are satisfied than simply an unique resolution. (Business Act 2006 s. 22 (1 )). To change it:.
Due to the fact that having shares does not offer a right to be a life supervisor. They need to just shield civil liberties given upon as an investor.
When you register your service in the UK, the Articles of organization is among the essential points that runs a firm self-control, it guarantees the smooth-running of the UK incorporation as well as its relate to its very own business participants as well as additionally for its customers approximately. Essentially, when you register your company in the UK, this post of organization is a file which contains all the information of the business as well as its staff members, as an example the objective of the firm, its relationship with its participants and also obligations as well as obligations of these participants.
If somebody actually wishes to modify the currently accepted write-up after that it might just be changed by an unique resolution of the participants i.e. this calls for 75% of the ballot of all the investors. (Business Act 2006 s. 21 (1 )).
Makes it possible for a business to set certain arrangements to make sure that these can just be readjusted if more stringent as well as stringent demands are satisfied than just an unique resolution. (Firms Act 2006 s. 22 (1 )). To modify it:.
* It calls for business to send any type of resolution modifying the short articles to Business Home as well as additionally, they have to give a total duplicate of the changed write-ups.
* There are penalties enforced if the firm does not conform.
( Firms Act 2006 s. 26).
Being an autonomous policy, the legal guidelines do not safeguard the minority investors from the dreams of bulk (over 75%) investors. This is where the typical legislation regulations are called for, to make sure that this ballot ends up being the most effective for the business.
* Investors have to exercise their power to change the posts authentic in the most effective passions of the business.
There has actually been unpredictability concerning whether there was any kind of some concealed purpose or subjective for whether the workout of electing power was authentic in the most effective passions of the firm.
( Note:? The subjective examination is the one in which the analysis is done on the point of view whereas the unbiased examination is just based upon selecting the right or incorrect of the currently offered point of view.).
* A provision making it possible for the bulk to get the minority was not authentic for the business since it was broader than the passions might call for.
To avoid the business from any type of kind of injury the unbiased examination is used.
* A condition making it possible for supervisors to call for any type of investor taking on the business to offer his shares stood due to the fact that it remained in the rate of interests of the firm.
In this act, the unbiased examination is not just used however likewise passed.
On the various other hand:.
* A stipulation to get rid of a detested life supervisor was held to stand on the basis that it was for participants, and also not the court to choose what remains in the most effective rate of interests of the business.
In this instance, subjective examination is used and also passed.
* Greenhalgh had actually been gotten rid of from a setting of control as well as his seat on the board, yet still held ideal legal rights. In an effort to prevent the pre-emption civil liberties, passed an unique resolution claiming that a transfer of shares to any type of celebration is great as long as backed by a regular resolution.
* Lord Evershed, as Master of the Rolls, stated that authentic in the most effective passions of the business indicates, that the investor needs to act according to what he thinks to be in the most effective passions of the business totally. An examination might be required to discover whether the investors would truthfully have actually thought they were acting in the very best rate of interests of a theoretical participant.
An Australian instance on the subject, Gambotto, gave a various viewpoint as well as criticised Shuttleworth and also Greenhalgh for being subjective. Below is what it ended:.
* Worried a stipulation enabling the bulk to require the minority to market.
* Held that the unbiased examination needs to use as well as criticised the subjective strategy in Shuttleworth and also Greenhalgh claiming that it did not value the propriety nature of shareholding.
The reasoning in instance of the Gambotto was flawed, specifically in its objection of Shuttleworth. Due to the fact that possessing shares does not provide a right to be a life supervisor. They must just shield legal rights provided upon as an investor.
In Citco, Lord Hoffman differed with Gambotto.
* A stipulation which claimed that the examination was Greenhalgh, whether the investors had actually truthfully exercised their powers in the very best rate of interests of the business all at once, consisting of the passions of a theoretical participant.
* Lord Hoffman questioned whether there was any kind of difference in between regulations for stipulations entailing an expropriation of shares as well as those which do not.
* Lord Hoffman likewise turned down the suggestion that shares lug a right to be entails. The just right an investor has is the right to a reasonable cost for the shares, it is simply economic.
Where the firm does not actually have any type of rate of interest after that Lord Hoffman in Citco extremely scribe the examination of Lord Evershed in Greenhalgh, that the workout of powers should have truthfully remained in the passions of a theoretical participant.
William disapproval the theoretical participant examination since he sees it as an examination which is not especially useful. Specifically he disapproval that it entails 2 abstract factors to consider, rather he would certainly such as the very best rate of interests of the business to just include the most effective rate of interests of the theoretical participants.
He differed with this objection, claiming that there were not 2 abstracts and also estimating what Lord Hoffman stated that; Where a disagreement regarding modifying the short articles is not a conflict in which the firm has a rate of interest, after that the passions of the firm all at once might be straightened with the rate of interests of the theoretical participant. This is not a different examination it simply streamlines the existing examination in some certain conditions.

Valentine's Day is here, a day to spend with your significant other and enjoy each other's company. It is a day which can easily be spent eating just a bit too much chocolate, so sometimes it can be nice to do something a little more active. Fortunately for those of us in the Acadia community, we are surrounded by plenty of natural beauty to enjoy. The walking trails that follow the banks of the Saluda River and Hunter's Creek are prime candidates. There are also several park areas that are perfect for a romantic picnic, such as Indian Rock or Mary's Bridge. With the wonderfully warm weather we've been enjoying, you don't even need to bundle up, although you may choose to snuggle together anyways. For a more relaxing option, you can always enjoy the view of the river from the deck of our RiverHouse. As warm as it is, the night air can still hold a chill, so you can always move to the screen porch and set up the fireplace. While there are certainly many things to do around Greenville at large, it is nice to know that we have plenty to enjoy right here at home in Acadia.

Q: Unit Testing XAML in Silverlight using MVVM/CSLA In our main Silverlight business app, we have a lot of controls that are visible and/or enabled based on user roles (e.g. Admin menu link visible only if in Admin role). We control that visibility via converters.
I'm just starting out writing unit tests, and I'd like to be able to test the visibility of these controls based on different roles (it'd be really bad if we had a bug there). However, since we're using the MVVM pattern, and the controls are not named, I'm not sure how to go about that. Any thoughts?

A: This is exactly what ViewModel is for. You should be able to test your view models easily (in your case I suppose whether they expose correct roles to view). And since converter is just a regular class, they should be tested just as well.
In terms of unit testing, you really got just two tasks to do:

*

*Test whether view models expose correct data

*Test whether converters convert role to visibility correctly

Here's where unit testing ends. Those tests should guarantee your view is fed with appropriate data to render itself as you planned. Now whether it does is different thing, but that's out of scope of unit testing. The final testing belongs to acceptance testing, quality assurance and also automated/scripted UI tests and more often than not - human verification.

A: I don't think that naming controls breaks MVVM in any way. If you are fundamentally opposed to naming them you can probably use the VisualTreeHelper to walk the control tree and find the controls you are interested in.
You can use Moq to mock the viewmodels to simulate specific roles and Microsoft's Silverlight testing framework to run the tests.

From steamy casseroles to hearty soups, hot comfort food is popular everywhere it gets cold. This especially true in China, where people have believed since ancient times that one's diet should be harmonized with the seasons. Chinese cuisine goes far beyond just good old comfort food, however, incorporating traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) into seasonal dishes and dietary tonics called 冬冷进补 (dōng lěng jìnbǔ). It is common to consume winter tonics in China, usually just as part of a meal. Chinese medicine's dietary principles are very much a part of culinary culture.
Winter tonics are based on the idea that people should live in harmony with the seasons. According to TCM, winter is the most yin of the seasons, characterized by a cold, dark, slow, inward energy, which makes it a good time for meditation, self-reflection, and rest. Acknowledging the yin aspect of the season is important in TCM because the yin and yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the body teaches that in order for energy, or qi (气 qì), to be released, it must be subdued and stored for a while. In the same way that all organisms hibernate or store their energy during the winter, humans also need to rest up and preserve their energy. An old Chinese saying goes, "take a tonic in the winter, fight a tiger in the spring" (rough translation of 今年冬令进补,明年三春打虎). While fighting a tiger might be an exaggeration of the health benefits, what TCM means is that the winter is a time to lay low, and health benefits will follow later on.
In TCM, the kidneys have the all-important function of storing the body's qi, or life force, and are especially important in wintertime recovery. They are vulnerable during the winter since they can suffer from the cold, and require sufficient rest (which is why some animals hibernate during the winter). According to TCM and modern medicine, kidney health is closely related to our sense of hearing. In the natural world, sound travels much more easily through the quiet stillness of winter than it does during the buzzing activity of spring and summer, making us more inclined to use our sense of hearing during the winter. The heightened ability to hear can make us feel restful, and can help with the body's ability to recovery in winter. The bones are also related to the kidneys, as they contribute to creating another of life's essential energies, called jing (精 jīng). Jing can get worn out due to stress or an unhealthy lifestyle, so it is crucial to rest up and take tonics to enhance your wintertime recovery. Bone broths are a favorite winter seasonal dish in China, as they are warming and contain restoring nutrients.
In China today, many people eat according to TCM dietary principles to improve restfulness and better absorb nutrients. Winter tonic ingredients usually include foods that naturally grow in the winter, such as root vegetables. Squashes, potatoes, carrots, various roots, meat, dairy products, beans, nuts, black sesame, apples, pears, and dates feature prominently in winter tonics. Almost all winter tonic dishes are served hot, as TCM is very sensitive to temperatures, which is also why so many Chinese people prefer to drink hot water.
You can identify such dishes as winter tonics by their ingredients, like the ginseng chicken bone broth soup with red dates (红枣 hóngzǎo) pictured at the top. Red dates are an herbal remedy which improves digestion and absorption of tonic nutrients. Ginseng (人参 rénshēn - yes, 参 is a character with multiple pronunciations), is very important in TCM, and it helps boost your wintertime recovery, giving you energy if you feel tired, or calming you if you are stressed. Such tonic herbs also help you make the most of all the nutrition in the chicken, giving you a very satisfying feeling in your stomach after your meal.
Another common Chinese winter tonic is tangyuan (汤圆 tāngyuán), consumed during the Winter Solstice Festival Dongzhi (冬至 Dōngzhì). These glutinous rice balls contain black sesame paste on the inside, which benefits the blood, liver, and hair. Tangyuan often is served in ginger soup with red dates.
Some winter tonics are consumed as a tablespoon of paste (膏方 gāo fāng) with sugar before breakfast every morning. This paste is mixed with hot water and used more as a medicine for people with a specific health condition. Most food dish tonics, however, can be found in most restaurants, especially in northern China.

Musk and Twitter: From volatile courtship to messy divorce
Elon Musk's pursuit of Twitter appears to be headed to court.
Elon Musk's pursuit of Twitter was a melodrama from beginning to end—a volatile courtship between a mercurial billionaire and the massively influential social media platform.
That relationship—an obvious love-hate affair from Musk's side—now seems set to end in an acrimonious divorce.
It all began with an expensive first date: Musk—a longtime Twitter user known for inflammatory tweets—snapped up 73.5 million shares at a cost of nearly $2.9 billion.
The purchase, which was revealed in an April 4 regulatory filing and gave him a 9.2 percent stake in the company, sent Twitter shares soaring and sparked speculation that Musk was seeking an active role in the social media company's operations.
It also earned him a seat on the board. CEO Parag Agrawal announced the offer—in a tweet, of course—and called Musk "a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need."
But the honeymoon didn't last long: Agrawal said on April 10 that Musk had decided against joining the board, a move the Twitter CEO believed was "for the best."
Rather than amicably parting ways, Musk launched a hostile takeover bid for the company, offering $54.20 a share, an April 13 filing showed.
After saying it would "carefully review" the offer, Twitter adopted a "poison pill" defense, announcing a plan that would allow shareholders to purchase additional stock.
The engagement
Then came the plans for a walk down the corporate aisle: Twitter reversed course and said on April 25 that it was selling to Musk in a deal valued at $44 billion.
But weddings can be expensive, so Musk took action to cover the cost, parting with $8.4 billion in shares in electric carmaker Tesla. He pledged up to $21 billion from his personal fortune, with the rest financed by debt.
Musk was already planning his new life with Twitter, saying a few days later that he would lift the ban on Donald Trump, which was handed down after the January 2021 riot at the US Capitol by the then-president's supporters.
But Musk soon began showing signs of cold feet, saying on May 13 that the deal to buy Twitter was "temporarily on hold" pending details on spam and fake accounts on the platform.
In early June, advocacy groups decided to speak now instead of forever holding their peace, launching a campaign to stop Musk from going through with the purchase, which they said would allow him to "hand a megaphone to demagogues and extremists."
Musk meanwhile accused Twitter of failing to provide data on fake accounts, and threatened to withdraw his bid.
On June 16, however, he offered signs that the match was still a go, pitching a vision to Twitter staff of a one-billion-user platform. But he was hazy on issues such as potential layoffs and free speech limits.
It all came crashing down on July 8, when Musk called off the wedding and accused Twitter of making "misleading" statements about the number of fake accounts.
The breakup between the billionaire and the social media platform is set to be far from friendly.
Twitter's chairman tweeted that the company will pursue legal action to enforce the deal, setting up a pricey showdown as the divorce heads to court.

Betel, WEC's ministry among drug addicts, has opportunities for interns, short term missionaries and gap year students to have the opportunity to 'Be Jesus' in everyday, real-life situations, by working, living and worshiping alongside those whose broken lives are being restored. Interns can be placed for 3-6 months in the UK, Spain, India, Germany or the Czech Republic.
Today, in the 21st century, where can a true disciple serve? Almost anywhere. But some places and some peoples are especially needy. We believe that Betel's internship program is a doorway into 'daring Christian service' among some of the most neglected and marginalized people groups in the world.

Electric Energy Networks – Engineered Systems in Transition
The area of electric energy processing, which includes power electronics, electric drives and power systems, is at a crossroad. Its challenges are both external (contribution to climate change, nonfunctional markets) and internal (inability to integrate renewable sources and efficient loads).
The promise of energy processing comes from a growing array of potentially transformative technologies that currently exist in power electronics, distributed sensing, and cyber-physical control systems. Other supporting technologies, such as battery storage, distributed public ledgers (a.k.a. blockchain), and Internet of Things, stand at the cusp of advancement that could radically change the long-standing assumptions regarding feasible system architectures.
The first part of the talk will review available energy technologies, and outline salient features of the existing energy systems. The second part of the talk will present a more personal view, and introduce the dynamic phasor approach to modeling and analysis of transients in electric energy systems. The third and final part of the talk will outline desirable future developments in energy systems with an emphasis on control architectures and integration with other infrastructural systems.

Review: Deadpool (2016)
Written by Kym Ellis
review, deadpool, ryan reynolds
My Plot Review: Recommended
This movie was produced by asshats and directed by an overpaid tool. Opening credit words, not mine. Bro jokes, superhero in-jokes, nudity, a love story and gore; this movie has them all. Surprisingly, you might not need to be a comic book reader or a pubescent teenage boy to enjoy this film, I for one am neither. It has been well received by many Plot users, too.
We follow the story of Wade Wilson, a mercenary who meets a woman (read: prostitute), falls in love, proposes marriage and then finds out he has terminal cancer. Huge bummer (quite literally). He subjects himself to an experiment that forces him to mutate and cure the cancer, where he meets his enemy Ajax (Ed Skrein), who leaves Wilson disfigured but with exceptional healing powers. After an explosive escape, Wilson utilises his new powers and sadistic sense of humour to form his alter ego, Deadpool, and sets out to get his revenge.
Some of the superhero industry in-jokes were lost on me, I didn't realise, for example, that Reynolds actually starred as DC's Green Lantern (2011), which flopped. Though even with minimal prior knowledge it was easily identifiable as a middle finger to the foundations of superhero franchises. Overall, this didn't ruin the experience. The pace was fast and the in-jokes easily wash over you as you are guffawing at Deadpool's masturbation jokes to his blind, elderly housemate.
"A fourth wall break inside a fourth wall break? That's like... 16 walls".
The fourth wall gets well and truly smashed throughout the movie, which allows for a lot of the superhero in-jokes. It also serves to make it more accessible, even if you're not a Marvel or a DC fan. Deadpool's awareness of the cameras presence is informal and frequent and he often chats to the audience.
I'm not entirely sure how this movie ended up being a 15 in the UK (R Rated). It is pretty gory in places, the kind that makes you wince, and at one point it takes international women's day to new highs, when Deadpool's girlfriend Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) treats him to some stimulation of the bum variety.
You could in fact argue that the gratuitous female nudity is a bit much, but you do get to see a lot of Reynolds too, including a good few seconds of his aforementioned backside as he walks around his flat.
There were a lot of lad bible worthy jokes though and the female superheroes/mutants were hugely underdeveloped. We had the submissive sidekick of Ajax, Angel Dust, played by Gina Carano, who was strong as hell and liked chewing matchsticks. Then there was Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), who helps Deadpool at the end alongside Colossus, a giant metal man from Professor X's team. She is basically a gothy, moody teenager who gets to turn into a ball of fire at the end.
One thing the movie did really well was present a captivating non-linear timeline, jumping between the present with Reynolds in his blood drenched red suit as Deadpool, and back to his perfect relationship with Vanessa. Remember guys, this is a love story!
Without serious knowledge of the superhero movie industry, I can't quite make my mind up if Deadpool is a pastiche or a parody—I'm going to go with both. It was certainly a refreshing change from the other superhero movies I have watched, enjoyed and subsequently grown tired of; but it's not a format with a future for this genre. There was definitely more room for character development with Negasonic Teenage Warhead, which may have paved the way, but then I suppose there would have been a few less dick jokes.
If you are a huge Marvel fan, you have probably already seen this movie, if you are somewhere in the middle like me, I'd definitely recommend it. If you have never liked superhero movies, this would probably be an odd place to start, but do it anyway.

Q: Why layer batch_normalization_6 is incompatible with the layer? I want to train feature of size (10151, 1285) to lable (10151, 257), and I want to use way2. since in I want to use "feature_input" in the cost function. but it fails with error:
ValueError: Input 0 of layer batch_normalization_6 is incompatible with the layer: expected ndim=3, found ndim=2. Full shape received: (None, 257).
I am wondering why?
Way1:
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(257, input_dim=1285))
model.add(BatchNormalization())
model.add(Activation('sigmoid'))

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='mse',  metrics=['mse'])
model.fit(feature, label )
model.save("./model.hdf5")

Way2:
feature_input = Input(shape=(None, 1285))
dense = Dense(257)(feature_input)
norm = BatchNormalization()(dense)
out = Activation('sigmoid')(norm)
model = Model(feature_input, out)

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='mse',  metrics=['mse'])
model.fit(feature, label )
model.save("./model.hdf5")

A: If you define the input shape as (None, 1285), the model recognizes the input as a 3-dimensional data. I guess the None shape you entered was meant to describe the batch size, but when we compile the model we get a 3-dimensional input, and the batch dimension is automatically added. Therefore, you can use an input shape of (1285,) as an alternative.

Coral Gables- The Miami Hurricanes fought hard but fell just short yet again, falling 85 – 76 to the North Carolina Tar Heels. Cameron Johnson (UNC) led all scorers with 22 points followed closely by Chris Lykes who had 20.
Anthony Lawrence ended the game with 18 points while Zach Johnson added 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists. DJ Vasiljevic had a quiet night going 1-5 from the field for three points. Izundu, after only two first half points, ended the day with 13 points to go with eight rebounds.
UNC Senior Luke Maye came one rebound short of a double-double scoring 14 points. The Tar Heels had five players in double digits: Johnson (22), Williams (16), White (15), Maye (14), and Nassir Little (12).
Carolina's 60% shooting in the second half was their highest of season while the Hurricanes only went 27-55 (49.1%) for the game. "Did they miss a shot in the second half?" quipped Coach Larranaga as he sat down for the post-game press conference. "When it came down to the last 8-10 minutes, Carolina was rolling, and we were drained." Depth issues have plagued the Hurricanes all year and today's game was no different.
The Canes opened the game 2-7 while UNC made their first 4 shots to build an 8-3 lead. The Hurricanes fought back with stingy defense and Anthony Lawrence hit a three to tie the game at eight with 15:39 left in the first half. Anthony Lawrence continued to assert himself as he scored 11 of the Canes' first 13 points.
In what figured to be a battle, Izundu and Luke Maye fought hard early with Maye picking up two early fouls. With this in mind, Miami continued to attack the rim and found themselves leading 21-19 as the clock ticked under 11 minutes. The Tar Heels managed to pull ahead but after drawing an offensive foul, Chris Lykes hit back to back threes to put the Hurricanes back up 27-25 with 7 minutes left in the first half.
The game continued to go back and forth as a Cobe White three followed by a Kenny Williams three put the Tar Heels back in front by four. In the midst of an almost three-minute scoring drought for the Canes, Zach Johnson got to the free throw line, hitting both. This brought the score to 32-29 with under five minutes remaining. Miami then forced a turnover and Johnson followed with an acrobatic layup to pull within one. DJ Vasiljevic's following three put the Canes up by two before UNC answered right back with a three of their own.
With under two minutes to go and the Canes down by two, Chris Lykes hit an extremely tough layup to bring the score to 37-36 before Zach Johnson got back to the free throw line. Johnson hit one of two to tie the game.
In what should've been the final possession of the first half, Miami forced UNC into a turnover to get the ball back with 2.3 seconds before halftime. Miami failed to capitalize as Cobe White intercepted the inbound pass sending the teams to the locker room tied at 37.
UNC came out firing in the second half as they converted an alley-oop followed by a huge dunk by Nassir Little to give UNC a three-point lead. The Tar Heels lead ballooned to eight before Anthony Lawrence stopped the bleeding for the Canes.
A Cameron Johnson (UNC) three put the Tar Heels up nine which was their largest lead up to that point. Not to be outdone, Chris Lykes immediately responded with a three of his own. Following the three Zach Johnson was fouled on his way to the rim. He hit one of two to get Miami back within five.
After a largely ineffective first half, Izundu came alive in the second half scoring some key buckets and defending the rim. The Watsco Center came alive as Lykes scored a layup followed by an Izundu block. Izundu then, on the ensuing possession, converted an and-1 opportunity to bring the Hurricanes within one, 66-65.
Cameron Johnson responded for UNC with a huge contested three which prompted an eruption from the large Tar Heel contingent. Zach Johnson, in an attempt to end someone's life, went up to dunk over three Tar Heels but was fouled. He converted both but UNC answered with a three, yet again.
The Hurricanes made multiple efforts to grab the momentum back and right when they started too, Kenny Williams hit yet ANOTHER three to keep the Tar Heels just out of reach. The Tar Heels made five of six shots over a stretch of five minutes and countered every punch the Canes threw.
Miami continued to stick around and not let Carolina pull away, staying within ten despite the onslaught from the Tar Heels. Kenny Williams carried the Tar Heels down the stretch and ended the game with 16 points.
Depth bit the Canes yet again as they fought hard but ran out of gas towards the end of the game. The final score from Coral Gables, Tar Heels 85 Hurricanes 76.

Help With Workplace Thank You Notes
by Nicole Vulcan
Thank you notes can help employees feel appreciated.
Whether you're a manager or simply a concerned co-worker, sending a thank-you note to another person in the office is a way to reward good behavior and encourage more of the same. Going above the call of duty, extending a helping hand to someone in need, or simply being a positive influence on the staff are all very good reasons to send someone a note. If you're a manager, you should make an effort to thank your employees often -- even the ones who need a bit of encouragement to do better. The key is to make each person feel special, and that may mean individualizing your thank you notes.
First and foremost, forget the idea of the "thank-you e-mail." Hand-written notes are much more personal and will make a bigger impression. If you're planning to send out a series of notes to a bunch of different people, don't just go out and buy a big packet of cookie-cutter cards. Try to get a card that matches the person's style, or at least something that you think they'll like. If you're married to the idea of buying a packet of cards, buy one that has several styles, so that you won't be sending out the very same card time after time.
Staggering
If you want to be able to send thank-you's to a large number of people in the office, it's just going to look tacky and insincere if you send them all at once. Instead of sending a thank you to each person at the same time, send a few at a time -- or even one at a time, cycling through your employee roster so that eventually, everyone gets a note.
Set Reminders
By now you may have realized that all this employee appreciation is going to take some time and effort. To make it easier on yourself, set up an alert on your mobile phone or make a note on your work calendar, reminding yourself that it's time to send out a new round of notes. Aim to send out a new set of notes every few weeks. If you're writing a lot of notes over a period of time, keep a notebook where you can jot down things you've appreciated about certain people, so you'll have something fresh and specific to mention when it's their turn to get a thank-you.
You're sending a person a thank-you -- so chances are you have something for which to thank them. There's no need to write an exhaustive note about every single thing the person has done, but do make an attempt to call the person out for something great that they've done -- and hopefully something you want them to do again. In the note, state the specific thing you've appreciated, and sign off with "Sincerely" or "Best Wishes," and then sign your name. Then, hand-deliver the note or leave it in the employee's mailbox, and don't make a big fanfare about it. The idea is not to let others know you're doing it.

Fluffy details and a leather-look combined, bring glamour to the high heeled sandal. This pair comes with a sleek wrap around ankle strap, complimented by a dainty fastening. Finished with a padded sole for additional comfort. Heel height 4. 60% Polyurethane, 40% Feathers Turkey. Specialist clean only.


Pulsar Products is a company formed through the strategic alignment of a number of manufacturers.
These manufacturers specialize primarily in industrial technology but produce technology for rental and personal use as well. Their products include portable generators, air compressors, and pressure washers.
The Pulsar PH1202s is one such portable generator manufactured by them. It has a surge power of 1200W and a running power of 850W.
It is advertised as being useful for small jobs during tailgating, camping, or in other outdoor activities such as fishing.
It is also marketed as being a low-cost alternative, especially in comparison to more established companies such as Yamaha or Honda on the market.
In terms of design, this model is fairly simple and compact, coming in a somewhat cuboidal shape, which makes storing it quite efficient and easy.
The components parts are placed inside an outer plastic covering, rather than being exposed and contained within a metal frame.
This compactness is enhanced by its dimensions. It has a height of 12.4 inches, a length of 14.6 inches, and a width of 12.4 inches.
This makes it extremely compact and hence very easy to transport. This small size is also reflected in the low weight of the model which is as low as 39.68 lbs.
Even with a tank filled to its capacity of 1.1 gallons, it will not weigh much. It is thus highly portable and can easily be used for outdoor activities that require a readily portable power source.
This generator is a 2-stroke generator, which makes it different from many other brands such as Champion or Honda which manufacture mainly 4-stroke generators.
Since it is a 2-stroke generator, an appropriate 2-stroke lubrication oil must be used.
2-stroke generators differ in their usage of oil from 4-stroke generators. While 4-stroke generators will have a different inlet for pouring oil, in the case of a 2-stroke generator, the oil must be mixed with the fuel to provide lubrication through the entire engine.
In terms of power, this generator can produce 1200W of surge wattage, while its running wattage is 850W, which is definitely on the lower side. It has both AC and DC outlets at 120V and 12V respectively.
The PG 1202s uses unleaded gasoline as its primary fuel.
However, it does not give more precise details on the octane rating of the gasoline so commercially available gasoline which has a minimum rating of 86 should be used to be on the safe side.
Furthermore, since this model has a 2-stroke engine, the gasoline must be mixed with an appropriate oil while filling it in the fuel tank. This mixture must contain gasoline and oil in the ratio of 50: 1.
With its tank filled to 1.1-gallon capacity, this model can run of 9 hours on a half-load, which means that it is quite efficient. Even at full consumption, it uses up fuel at the rate of 0.166 gallons an hour. This model is also CARB compliant which means that it can be used in all 50 states in America.
In terms of noise, while Pulsar claims that this model has a 'quiet mode system' which reduces the noise level, it still has a noise level of 65 dB, which is quite high and can be invasive or disturbing especially in activities such as camping.
The display on the PG1202s is very simple, with warning labels and cautionary signs placed on the top of the generator.
The control panel is concentrated on one panel, with a majority of the controls concentrated to one side.
There are not many controls so they fit on a relatively small space on the panel. This can also make them slightly challenging to make out distinctly if you have weak eyesight in general.

There are no recommended products by Pulsar for this model. Neither does Amazon recommend any product based on other customers' choices?
This model is, all in all, decent both in terms of its features and in terms of its reception by customers. It does not have any extra features, which is understandable for a model as small as this, and it has a limited number of controls.
As such, it is fairly straightforward and gets the job done, a quality which has been praised by many users. It can last for a fairly long period of time, being highly efficient in its fuel usage. It is also very portable due to its compactness and can hence easily be carried around for use outdoors.
On the flip side, it is quite noisy which means it cannot be used for camping. Some of its parts are also quite flimsy and are prone to breaking. Its small number of controls also gives you less control over your usage experience.
Thus, the positives and negatives on this model seem to be fairly balanced.
However, the economical cost of this model makes it a competitive choice on the market, which many users opting for it solely for its price. This is then a good choice for those looking for generators at a lower price point.


An English Summer wouldn't be complete without the sound of leather on willow at Lord's, and Everton FC floundering in the transfer market. About this time every year the curtain rises on a new Goodison farce. It usually runs over most of the close season and stars some of football's leading names. Collymore, Ince, Bobby Robson, Andy Gray, Ravanelli and Nigel Martyn have all taken centre stage in recent years.
Howard Kendall has ruled Everton out of the chase for big names so this summer's performance may not be of the same quality. But there's plenty of scope for drawn out pursuits of B-list names such as Lee Carsley and Alan Stubbs to come to a farcical close before August is upon us.
August 1994 Traditional Z Cars entrance theme replaced by 2 Unlimited's Are You Ready For This. The short answer – No. Questions were asked in the House and Z Cars was back.
September 1994 New club song to the tune of Bad Moon Rising released at the lowest ebb of the Mike Walker days. Included the lines: "I see blue skies arriving, I see players having fun." Played once.
July 1996 Season tickets issued in red plastic folders, equivalent to Sunderland covering theirs in black and white stripes.
September 1997 Young lad spots home shirt worn by the players does not match that being sold in the shops. Club claims players' shirts are wrong, not the thousands already dispatched to the shops. Thank God it wasn't the other way round.
All this provides the context for Everton's proposed move away from Goodison Park. Those against the move have been branded Luddites. Yet who would trust a man that can't even order the right plastic holders for season tickets with a decision as momentous as removing Everton from Goodison and dropping it in a soulless service station off the M57?
Four years ago, after the club had survived on the last day of the season against Wimbledon, Everton fans gathered in front of the main stand and sang Johnson's name. The mood was euphoric. This time, after the desperate draw with Coventry, the scene was the same but the mood veered from anger to relief and back again. Now, the vast majority of Evertonians want Johnson out – and quickly before he can do any more damage. He responded by dismissing the protesters as a minority and talked of his "love and commitment" for the club. Jonathan Aitken would not have had the gall to do that.
In retrospect, Everton's 3-1 win over Chelsea in January proved to be the club's worst result of last season. It led Johnson to decide it was possible after all to run a Premiership club from a yacht in the Caribbean. Around the turn of the year, rumours were rife that he was fed up and ready to cash in. We contemplated the prospect of the club being touted around the markets like a second-rate supermarket chain. He had bought the club for £20 million and was ready to part with it for £80 million. As we were witnessing some of the most abject displays ever by an Everton side – Manchester United away springs to mind – Mr Johnson was sunning himself on the other side of the world. Then, out of the blue and with no prior warning, Howard Kendall took his team on a run that brought him the Manager of the Month award for January. So Johnson stayed, sold the club's main playing assets (careful to gag them first) and sat in wait for the pay-per-view payday.
All this time Everton drift towards the First Division. Anger rightly focuses on Johnson, but Howard Kendall's hands aren't clean. He is viewed by most Evertonians as the innocent victim, doing his best in an impossible situation. After all, he was the only person prepared to come to the club when the rest of the football world was turning away. But Kendall has effectively implemented Johnson's asset-stripping policy. Shortly after the end of the season, Kendall leapt to the defence of his employer. There had been no block on spending the money from the sale of Gary Speed and Andy Hinchcliffe. The right players were simply not available.
If Howard is telling the truth, he can only be guilty of an enormous error of judgment. Almost any of the players who changed clubs on deadline day would have improved Everton's paper-thin squad. If he is not, he no longer deserves the respect of Evertonians.
So this is the bleak outlook that faces us as we enter our annual panto season. The club desperately needs a shake-out from top to bottom, but it is not going to happen. One correspondent to the fanzine When Skies Are Grey sent in a one-line solution to ending the torture that is supporting Everton in the 1990s: "Sack the manager, sack the board, sell all the players and blow up Goodison." I think he was joking, but I'm not absolutely sure.

The literature on agreement in South Slavic generalizes that conjunct agreement in gender is only possible when all conjuncts are plural (e.g. Bošković 2009). Marušič et al. (2015) and Arsenijević & Mitić (2016a, b) attest a significant level of patterns contradicting this claim in elicited production experiments. They weaken the earlier generalization to a facilitating role of plural number for conjunct agreement in gender. However, the stimuli in the two respective experiments involve syncretism between the members of conjunction. The syncretism removes the possibility – at PF at least – that by agreeing with one conjunct, the verb disagrees with the other. It is hence expected to result in a similar surface effect as the facilitation by plurals, which makes it a potential confound variable. We report and discuss the results of an experiment aimed to test both the effect of syncretism and the reality of the facilitating effects of plural number. The results of the experiment yield positive answers to both questions: syncretism is a facilitating factor, but plural number nevertheless has its facilitating effect too – as confirmed by the stimuli without syncretism. Since syncretism is a phenomenon in which phonological information plays a central role, our findings support syntactic models of agreement which extend to the interface with phonology. Moreover, our results reveal a double similarity of conjunct agreement with agreement attraction, in both showing a (stronger) attraction effect of plural number compared to singular, and in being sensitive to syncretism (cf. Badecker and Kuminiak 2007, Malko and Slioussar 2013, i.e. Bader & Meng 2002, Hartsuiker et al. 2003, Slioussar 2018).

Social enterprise is the broadening of the purpose of a private enterprise to include supporting the interests of its local and/or global community. It really means going beyond a purely private profit motivation in the way we do business. It has grown steadily in the US and private companies have been eager to forge social enterprise relationships or evolve their own models in order to reap the rewards associated with social responsibility in today's marketplace. The next step is to really light a match under the explosive power of consumer spending and allow consumers to make knowledgeable and responsible decision about how they spend. We at Ethix like to imagine a world where a tiny fraction of every dollar swiped finds it way into health, education, sustainability and all manner of public interests. And remember, when you are out and about spending money, think about how and where you do that. It makes all the difference in the world!


As I mentioned in my earlier post I currently have 40 ongoing projects -- time for the quarterly link up so with the Finish Along group.
I'm really going to focus on the top 21 names items in this list. With my goal for January, is to get some kind of sewing done each day and keep myself motivated with accomplishing things. As I finish things I may start dabbling with adding in more in progress items.
Sorry to have been away for so long everyone but there has not been a lot of sewing happening lately. You see I have been having some medical issues with headaches that were worse than migraines (i really didn't think there was such a thing) and trouble with keeping food in my system for very long.
I went to the doctor in October and after an ultrasound, i found out that I need to have my gallbladder removed. It's a pretty routine thing and I'm not to worried about the procedure -- more the anesthesia than anything and the gas pain afterward.
I also had an MRI done and they found out that I have a condition called Chiari Malformation 1. To help alleviate these issues I will be having 2 surgeries in the upcoming weeks -- first the gallbladder then 6 weeks later I will be having a cranial decompression.
I don't know what this means for my 2018 sewing goals yet but I have plenty of things to keep me busy if I feel like sewing. I know that with the 2nd procedure I will be out of work for 6 - 8 weeks and I'd like to think that I will be up and sewing during much of that but I know the reality is I probably will not for most of it.
I do know that my UFO list is extensive with 40 projects on it. I am still participating in the American Patchwork and Quilting Challenge this year but I am doing things a little different than the standard list of 12. With all these projects I have decided that I will chop up a copy of my master list and draw out project names each month, with the project number for that month being the item I set as my goal for the month (ie. if the number is 8, my goal project will be the 8th project I draw). I will repeat this process with each finish throughout the month.
I am also going to keep linking up with the quarterly finish along to help keep me on track.
Since I will be having some large medical expenses I will work hard to stick with fabric dieting this year and track fabric use more thoroughly since I kinda laxed up on that last year. I'm also planning a fabric destash over on instagram for later in January or early February to keep up the purging I have been doing in other areas of my home.
It's time for the progress on the Finish Along goals for the end of 2017. I started the quarter with an unrealistic 48 projects -- however 13 items were intended for gifts and those really needed to be finished this quarter.
Oh well -- I'll give all these another go as we enter 2018 but 5 finished and 6 projects moved to another home is not that bad.


Prematurity is defined as an infant born before 37 weeks gestation. Approximately 10 percent of babies born in the United States are premature, with survivors born as early as 24 weeks gestation.
Multiple pregnancy accounts for approximately 15 percent of premature births.
There is also a risk of delayed growth and development of the premature infant. Developmental disorders associated with prematurity include motor disorders, such as hypotonia, cerebral palsy and minor motor dysfunction, as well as learning disorders, including intellectual disabilities, specific learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Prognosis for survival and development improves with increasing length of pregnancy; however, of those babies born at 28 weeks gestational age, approximately 80 percent survive, with most living free of disability.

EVANGELICALS: HOW DO YOU IT? HOW DO YOU SUPPORT TRUMP? - The African American Athlete
EVANGELICALS: HOW DO YOU IT? HOW DO YOU SUPPORT TRUMP?
The current president holding a Bible outside St. John's church in D.C.
By Rickey L. Hampton, For TheAfricanAmericanAthlete
My evangelical friends who support the current president. I have a question for you. How do you do it? How do you stand by a man who morally bankrupt, utterly soulless, and narcissistic?
I understand that no person is faultless. My lists of sins and wrongdoings would surely fill a book, or two. There has never been a perfect and sinless president, either.
Unfortunately, this current president is devoid of character. He is a liar and a cheat. Those parts of his heart aren't entirely empty, are cluttered with hate, resentments, and grudges. Even his tiny attempt at being charitable was busted for cheating.
Yet, you continue to support this man who sleeps with porn stars, has myriads of affairs, and brags about sexual assault. Remember "Grab them by the pussy?"
The support you, as evangelicals, show for the current president smacks against all of the values you espouse as members of the evangelical faith community. You abandon principles that those of Christ's church have lived and died to uphold.
His latest stunt, amidst a national uprising in the face of a public violation of one of God's commandments _ Thou shalt not commit murder _ was to have peaceful protestors forcibly removed from the streets of Washington. D. C. so that he could walk to a church and hold up a Bible, which he handled as though it were a foreign object, for a photo-op.
You support a man that would use Christ himself, God's church and Christ's religion to make a political point, and he doesn't seem to know or care, about the actual practice of any religion. Remember " Two Corinthians."?
You support a man who says he has nothing to ask God for forgiveness from thus has never asked Christ, as his Lord and Savior, for the grace of forgiveness. You turn a blind eye to his mocking of Christ's teaching by hurling insults against women, prolific expressions blatant racism, and even his disparaging of a disabled reporter. That reporter is a man who Christ would have embraced and protected.
Christ left us each charged to protect and defend and serve our Father God by performing acts that would reflect His majesty and grace. How do you tout, support, and glorify any person who willfully teaches our children the opposite? One who bullies. One who has no sense of mercy. One without compassion.
How do you do it? Is it for political gains that are that important to you? Perhaps, this man is not familiar with Mark 8:36, but you are, right? Recall? "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
Whatever it is that keeps you close to the current president, it is your right to do so. However, by doing so the hypocrisy you are exhibiting seems to be antithetical to the faith you evangelize. You can't have it both ways.

Q: Init.d / crontab does not execute code on system start Ubuntu 20.04 Unix As Unix Ubuntu does not support a natural scrolling and tap touchpad click I created simple script for enabling those options. As I got tired of executing it every time I reboot the laptop I wanted to add script to init.d but somehow it does not execute. Please find the code below:
#!/bin/bash
DEV="$(xinput list | grep Touchpad | grep -o '=[0-9][0-9]' | grep -o '[0-9][0-9]')"
TAP="$(xinput --list-props $DEV | grep 'Tapping Enabled (' | grep -o '[0-9][0-9][0-9]')"
SCROLL="$(xinput --list-props $DEV | grep 'Natural Scrolling Enabled (' | grep -o '[0-9][0-9][0-9]')"

xinput set-prop $DEV $TAP 1
xinput set-prop $DEV $SCROLL 1

I have done the following
1:
Move file to init.d
Sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/touchpad.sh
update-rc.d touchpad.sh defaults

2:
Open cronetab
@reboot /directory/touchpad.sh

Both methods does not work but script runs with:
sudo /etc/init.d/touchpad.sh start

Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

A: I would check the path, especially for cron, though I'm not sure about init.d.  You also could look at creating a service unit for systemd instead of using init.d since you're using a version of Ubuntu that uses it.
For any of it, you should look into setting either absolute paths for executables in your script or making sure the system path gets set the way you want it.  If you're not sure where an executable lives you can use which xinput (or any other executable) at the command prompt and it should tell you where it lives.  In my case on my Ubuntu 18.04 system xinput lives at /usr/bin/xinput which isn't included in the standard cron shell.  You can also find out what your system path is by typing echo $PATH at the command line.  Usually the path is set somewhere in your ~/.bashrc file along with other shell settings.
You can also set that path at the top of the script (or in your crontab file).  If you want to use cron, I recommend looking here for how to set some options for cron, particularly the path.  The article also goes over the defaults cron uses when it executes.
I'm not that familiar with init.d so I can't speak to that, but if you want to use systemd to run your script at startup this is a good resource on how you'd create a service unit for systemd to execute.
If you're interested in the difference between systemd and init.d you can look here.
Further, if the above doesn't work try to include some output redirection for your script, it could be executing but failing to work as intended.  Also if you create a systemd service unit you can do output redirection this way.

A: Solution
So I dug a little bit more and it seems that X Server is executed after the GUI starts. Check those links: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/360537/cant-run-application-that-depends-on-x-as-a-systemd-service https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/42611/how-can-i-run-a-script-that-starts-before-my-login-screen/42621#42621
I used cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager to get my display manager name and used wiki to set up the startup script: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
Everything left to do was to add session-setup-script=/home/huu/Documents/touchpad.sh in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf file according to the wiki page.

Q: How to add capping into my jQuery FB like plugin? I have a jQuery plugin, which appears the box with Facebook Like button in the nottom-right corner of my page, when someone scrolls the page - that's code:
<script type="text/javascript">

    var counter = 0;
    $(window).ready(function(){

$(window).click(function () {
    $('#likebox').animate({right: 10, bottom: 10});
    $.cookie("value", counter , {path: "/", expires: 30});
    counter++;
});

$('#likebox .close').click(function(){
    alert($.cookie("value"));
    $('#likebox').css('visibility', 'hidden');

});

});

It works perfectly when I'm on my page, scrolling it - the box appears, but my problem is that the box always appears to me and my users every time they're going to another page etc. How can I limit it to 3 times (for example) for one unique IP daily?

A: You can add a server side check for that. And display portion of the code only when the validation satisfies.

A: You would probably have to use some server side code to do this, or you could use Javascript cookies that expire in 24 hrs
http://www.electrictoolbox.com/jquery-cookies/
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(window).ready(function(){
        if($.cookie("example")<=3){
            $(window).scroll(function () {
                $('#likebox').animate({right: 10, bottom: 10});
            });

            $('#likebox .close').click(function(){
                $('#likebox').css('visibility', 'hidden');
            });
        }else{
            if($.cookie("example")!="undefined"){
                var newVal = $.cookie("example")+1;
                $.cookie("example", newVal);
            }else{
                $.cookie("example", 1);
            }
        }
    });
