The Chambersburg and Shippensburg Railway was an interurban trolley system of the early 20th century in south central Pennsylvania. Built in 1914, the line ran from Chambersburg to Shippensburg. The line was abandoned at the same time as much of the nearby Chambersburg, Greencastle and Waynesboro Street Railway, on July 31, 1926.

Had the Cumberland Railway venture from Carlisle to Shippensburg succeeded, there would have been continuous trolley service from Harrisburg to the Mason–Dixon line, where the Shady Grove station provided a transfer to the standard-gauge Hagerstown and Frederick Railway in Maryland.

The C&S used a  broad gauge, similar to other Pennsylvania interurban lines.

New Wearable Device Can Track Symptoms Of COVID-19
Researchers at Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago have developed a novel wearable device and are creating a set of data algorithms specifically tailored to catch early signs and symptoms associated with COVID-19 and to monitor patients as the illness progresses.
Capable of being worn 24/7, the device produces continuous streams of data and uses artificial intelligence to uncover subtle, but potentially life-saving, insights. Filling a vital data gap, it continuously measures and interprets coughing and respiratory activity in ways that are impossible with traditional monitoring systems.
About 25 affected individuals began using the devices two weeks ago. They are being monitored both in the clinic and at home, totaling more than 1,500 cumulative hours and generating more than one terabyte of data.
About the size of a postage stamp, the soft, flexible, wireless, thin device sits just below the suprasternal notch — the visible dip at the base of the throat. From this location, the device monitors coughing intensity and patterns, chest wall movements (which indicate labored or irregular breathing), respiratory sounds, heart rate and body temperature, including fever. From there, it wirelessly transmits data to a HIPAA-protected cloud, where automated algorithms produce graphical summaries tailored to facilitate rapid, remote monitoring.
"The most recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggest that the earliest signs of a COVID-19 infection are fever, coughing and difficulty in breathing. Our device sits at the perfect location on the body — the suprasternal notch — to measure respiratory rate, sounds and activity because that's where airflow occurs near the surface of the skin," said Northwestern's John A. Rogers, who led the technology development.
"Having the ability to monitor ourselves and our patients — and being alerted to changing conditions in real time — will give clinicians a new and important tool in the fight against COVID-19," said Dr. Mark Huang, a physician at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, who has worn the sensor. "The sensor also will offer clinicians and patients peace of mind as it monitors COVID-like symptoms, potentially prompting earlier intervention and treatment."
The device can monitor hospitalized patients and then be taken home to continue 24/7 supervision. The real-time data streaming from patients gives insights into their health and outcomes that is currently not being captured or analyzed by traditional monitoring systems.
"This opens up new telemedicine strategies as we won't have to bring in patients for monitoring," said Arun Jayaraman, a research scientist at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, who is leading the algorithm development. "Physicians can potentially review the patients' data for hours, days or weeks, immediately through a customized graphical user interface to a cloud data management system that is being set up for this purpose, to see an overall image of how the patient is doing."
Although the wearable device is currently unable to measure blood oxygenation levels, which is an important component of lung health, the team plans to incorporate this capability in its next round of devices.

Mining Manufacturer Obelisk Announces ASIC-Friendly Launchpad
Obelisk, a new ASIC manufacturer led by Siacoin developer David Vorick, has released plans for an ASIC launchpad for Proof of Work coins. Its aim is to provide new and existing cryptocurrencies with an ASIC-friendly algorithm that will mitigate the rising threat of 51% attacks. Although initially devised with the company's own ASIC miner in mind, an open source design will allow other ASIC developers to release their own compatible units.
Obelisk Proposes a More Open ASIC Algorithm
New ASIC manufacturer Obelisk has shown a knack for releasing pronouncements that set tongues wagging within the industry. Founder David Vorick's hard-hitting manifesto The State of Cryptocurrency Mining went viral last month, and the company has followed this with news of a launchpad for ASIC-friendly coins. Obelisk plans to partner with coin developers to devise an algorithm that ought to reduce the risk of 51% attacks. In the past month, Verge, Monacoin, Bitcoin Gold, and Zencash have all been hit with huge amounts of rented hashpower and double spend transactions forced through.
There are drawbacks to this proposal though as Obelisk concedes: "This does mean that at launch, the coin is centralized around a single ASIC manufacturer…An Obelisk Launchpad release will include open source chip design schematics that can be leveraged by competing companies to bring their own ASICs to market." The upside to coin teams partnering with Obelisk is the added security that comes from knowing who controls the hashrate. The company explains:
The algorithm is not disclosed to the public until the ASICs are completed, meaning there is no chance that another group is able to be first to market. This gives the coin developers control over the launch of their coin. ASICs can be distributed throughout the community, and we can ensure that no party controls more than a certain percentage of the hashrate, nor has any capacity to commit abuse. From genesis, the coin is protected by powerful community owned ASICs.
Mining Centralization: The Lesser of Two Evils?
Interest in cryptocurrency mining had been waning up until April, as rising hashrates forced more hobbyists out of the game and new coins moved to Proof of Stake. That has all changed in the last couple of months, however, as a string of 51% attacks has piqued interest in mining once more and propelled the industry to the forefront of the cryptocurrency news cycle. On the one hand, there are those who believe that the centralization of mining, led by the dominant Bitmain, is a dangerous trend. But on the other hand, there are those who believe that mining centralization is a small price to pay for avoiding 51% attacks.
Battle of the Algorithms: How Bitmain Sparked an ASIC Mining WarGenerally speaking, coins which are equipped with ASIC-friendly algorithms are less prone to being hit with 51% attacks that can be perpetrated with rented hashpower. The flipside is that these coins can be plundered by huge pools of ASIC miners, squeezing out the community of smaller miners that have formed around a particular coin, and granting the lion's share of the mining rewards to a privileged few.
Leading industry figures have spoken in strong terms of the need to combat further mining attacks, with Zcash founder Zooko stating that "defending against them is an urgent and critical job." Should Obelisk's ASIC launchpad prove successful, it, together with the emergence of GMO's new miners, suggests a sliver of hope that Bitmain's stranglehold of the industry could eventually loosen.

>> click any image below to build your Cinelli custom bike.
1948, a good professional racer with 15 years pedalling experience in the legs and the geniality in mechanics, decides to make use of his brilliant intuitions developed during the many miles run on every type of road surface, it's Cino Cinelli.
30 years later, in 1978, Cino handed the company over to a young entrepreneur in the steel tube industry with the bicycle at heart: Antonio Colombo.
His interpretation is different, perhaps more visionary, the eye sees beyond the present. So the company is transformed and the inventions of the "design made in Cinelli" begin to get known all over the world. The bicycle changes, or better, the vision of the bike changes. The bike is seen as total project. Laser is born, the lugs are abandoned and Tig welding is introduced in the frame. Furthermore it is the only Italian bicycle to win a Compasso d'Oro (1991) besides more than 28 gold medals in various Olympic games and World Championships.


The Transformers: Devastation is a six-issue comic book miniseries, published by IDW Publishing, based on the Transformers and following on from The Transformers: Escalation. Issue 1 of Devastation was released on October 3, 2007, with issue 2 following on the 24th of October and was published monthly until February 2008. A follow-up entitled The Transformers: Revelation then followed. The series is available in The Transformers: Volume 3.
The story begins with Nightbeat puzzling out the Machination events of both The Transformers: Infiltration and The Transformers: Escalation to Optimus Prime and Prowl. Prime attempts to get proactive by moving the Ark-19 to the Gulf of Mexico. Megatron has called Sixshot to Earth, and his blatant disregard for protocol forces the other Decepticons to awaken Starscream. Sixshot nevertheless shoots down the Ark as it leaves Lake Michigan. Narrowly missing Knoxville it crashes in the sea, but not before jettisoning an escape pod with Ratchet, Verity and Jimmy. After a long cross-country chase, the three are saved from Sixshot by the arrival of the rest of the Ark's crew emerging from the water. The subsequent battle exposes the Transformers to the world at large thanks to news footage. The Autobots pull out due to a human carpet bombing strike, but the humans are killed in the process by the teleport used. Ratchet manages to revive the humans, but Prime makes the decision to pull out of Earth due to the events of Spotlight: Arcee.

What is the best before tracker?
I tracked the wrong item by accident. What do I do?
If you, for example, take out the mustard that you have tracked in your fridge, use it then put it back but at an angle the FridgeCam hasn't seen before it will not recognise that it is there.
The app will notify you saying 'item not found' and give you two options, to add the item to your shopping list or to re-label and re-track.
If the item is still in the fridge, select re-label and re-track. The app will ask you to re-label by drawing a box around the item. When labelling, ensure that you are only labelling the item itself and do not have any of the background or other items in the box. If you have an item with clear packaging, such as a glass jar or bottle, draw a box around the label of the item.
This is teaching the FridgeCam what your items are and what they look like so they will be tracked with ease.


Jun 8, 1998 - CMED, Inc.
A virtual medical instrument (VMI) system comprises data storage for storing input diagnostic test protocols for two or more of EEG, EKG, EMG/NCV, PFT, CMG, EP, ENG, visual acuity, visual field, limb dynometric and audiogram testing. The VMI system includes a universal interface having a number of electrical contacts and sets of electrical conduits associated with the different stored diagnostic test protocols. A selector enables a system user to select any one of the stored diagnostic test protocols for conducting on a patient. The system is constructed to enable the selected diagnostic test protocol to be performed on a patient after the corresponding set of electrical conduits are connected to the universal interface contacts and to the patient. Further included is an electrical signal generator connected to the universal interface for providing electrical signals to the patent if such electric signals are required by the selected test protocol. Electrical signals are received by the system through the electrical conduits connected to the universal interface from a patient and an output corresponding to the received electrical signals is provided, the output including one or more of strip chart printer, conventional printer, modem, computer diskette, audio recorder and video recorder.
The present invention relates generally to the field of medical and medical office electrical apparatus, and, more particularly, to medical office electrical apparatus such as are used for performing various routine medical diagnostic tests, such as EKG (electrocardiogram), EEG (electroencephalogram) and EMG (electromyogram) tests on patients.
As is well known, various different types of routine diagnostic tests, in accordance with specific test protocols, are performed on patients by physicians and other medical professionals in doctors' offices, clinics, hospitals and other medical facilities. Some test protocols involve passive testing in which bioelectrical signals are received for analysis from a patient undergoing testing. Others diagnostic tests involve active testing in which electrical stimuli are applied to a patient undergoing testing and the resulting electrical response signals from the patient are received for analysis.
Exemplary of such medical diagnostic tests are EKG tests which receive patient-generated electrical signals which are indicative of the patient's heart condition, and may be used to detect a heart attack, a cardiac arrhythmia, or as part of a routine physical examination.
Another such familiar medical diagnostic test is the EEG test during which a recording is made of patient-generated electrical signals indicative of the patient's brain activity. EEG tests may, for example, be used to determine the nature and severity of a seizure disorder or to assist a physician diagnosis of the extent of brain damage caused, for example, by a brain tumor or trauma.
Other of such diagnostic testing protocols include, without limitation: electromyographic (EMG) tests in which there are obtained electrical signals or impulses associated with the activity of a patient's skeletal muscles, useful in diagnosing neuromuscular disorders; cystometrographic (CMG) tests useful in the diagnosis of urinary diseases; pulmonary function tests (PFT), useful for determining the physiological reserve of a patient's lungs in the presence of such diseases as pneumonia, lung cancer and emphysema; visual acuity and visual field testing, useful in the diagnosis of ocular diseases; limb dynamometry, useful in diagnosing muscular diseases; nerve conduction velocity, useful in the diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system; evoked potential (EP), useful in the diagnosis of diseases and localizing lesions of the central nervous system; electrostagmography (ENG), useful in the diagnosis of disorders of the central and peripheral pathways subserving balance; and audiometry, useful in the diagnosis of diseases affecting hearing.
Heretofore, as far as is known to the present inventor, each of such medical diagnostic tests have required the use of a separate, dedicated testing machine or apparatus. Thus, by way of illustration, the performing of EKG tests on patients has heretofore required the use of dedicated EKG machines and the performing of EEG tests on patients has heretofore required the use of dedicated EEG machines.
It can readily be appreciated that this prior requirement of having a particular dedicated testing machine or apparatus for each different medical diagnostic test results in various cost-related problems. Not only does the need to have available different, dedicated medical diagnostic machines for each different medical diagnostic test result in considerable expense to properly equip and maintain a medical office, hospital or clinic, but such need for a number of different dedicated medical diagnostic machines also requires the allocation of usually expensive floor space and adds to the clutter of a medical office.
Importantly, in the present climate of medical cost containment and reduction, especially in the area of medical insurance and federal and state medical (e.g., MEDICARE and MEDICAL) reimbursements for medical procedures, the minimizing of medical office costs, including equipment costs, is now more and more important, if not critical, to the medical profession, not to mention the general public.
For these and other reasons, the present inventor has invented a universal medical diagnostic testing system which is sometimes referred to hereafter as a virtual medical instrument (VMI) system.
The present virtual medical instrument system enables each of a large number of generally routine medical diagnostic tests protocols to be to be conducted on patients by a single, adaptable system, which is preferably software driven. This new system thus eliminates the need for a different dedicated diagnostic test machine for each different medical diagnostic test protocol to be performed by medical professionals on patients.
In addition to use in the multi-speciality medical office and the reduction in medical office costs provided by this new VMI system, the system also lends itself well to the efficient equipping of small, mobile medical offices, as may be beneficial in public health services, military clinics, in developing nations and mobile clinics in the event of major catastrophes, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist activities.
In accordance with the present invention, a virtual medical instrument system enables the selective performing on patients of one or more of a plurality of different, medical diagnostic tests. The system includes information (data) storage means for storing the plurality of diagnostic test protocols which include at least two, and preferably all of the following diagnostic test protocols: EEG, EKG, EMG/NCV, PFT, CMG, EP, ENG, visual acuity, visual field, limb dynamometry and audiogram.
Included in the system are means for inputting information into the information storage means and a universal interface having a number of electrical contacts. Selecting means are connected to the information storage means for enabling a user of the system to select any one of the plurality of different stored patient diagnostic test protocols for conducting the tests on a patient. Selecting any one of the stored diagnostic test protocols automatically determines and selects a corresponding set of electrical conduits to be connected to particular contacts of the universal interface.
Included in the system are operating means for causing the selected diagnostic test protocol, and only that test protocol, to be performed on a patient after the corresponding set of electrical conduits are connected to the universal interface contacts and to a patient on which the selected diagnostic test protocol is to be performed.
Further included in the system are means connected for receiving electrical signals through the set of electrical conduits connected to said universal interface contacts from a patient undergoing the selected diagnostic test. Preferably the receiving means include a preamplifier connected to or within the universal interface for amplifying one or more of the electrical signals received from the patient undergoing the selected diagnostic test.
Associated with the receiving means are means for generating and providing a detectable output corresponding to the received electrical signals from the patient undergoing the diagnostic test, the output means including at least one, and preferably more than one, of the following: strip chart printer, conventional printer, modem, computer diskette, audio recorder and video recorder.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, and as a safety measure, there are included comparing means associated with the electrical signal receiving means for comparing initially-received electrical signals from a patient undergoing the selected diagnostic test protocol with expected electrical signals associated with the selected diagnostic test protocol and for alerting a user of the system when the initially-received electrical signals are substantially different from the expected electrical signals, thereby alerting the user to the possibility that the set of electrical conduits used for the selected diagnostic test are not properly connected to the universal interface contacts or that there is possibly a system malfunction.
If some of the stored medical diagnostic test protocols require that electrical stimuli be provided to the patient undergoing those test protocols and the electrical signals received from the patient are in response to such electrical stimuli, the virtual medical office system of the present invention includes electrical signal generating means that are connected to the universal interface for providing electrical signals to a patent undergoing the selected diagnostic test protocol in accordance with patient stimuli requirements of the selected test protocol.
Preferably the selecting means include verifying means for assuring that when the electrical conduits associated with the selected diagnostic test protocol are connected to particular ones of the universal interface contacts only the preselected diagnostic test protocol is enabled for performing on a patient.
A visual display, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), is connected for providing visual information to a user of the system regarding the medical test protocols that can be selected and information concerning the selected medical test protocol. Preferably, the visual display is connected to the signal receiving means for visually displaying electrical signals received from the patient through the universal interface.
The system may include limit setting means associated with the signal receiving means and the selecting means for enabling a user of the system to set upper and/or lower amplitude limits for at least some of the received electrical signals associated with some of the medical diagnostic test protocols and for providing information to the user when the set amplitude limits are exceeded.
The virtual medical instrument system of the present invention thus enables a user or multiple users to perform selected ones of stored medical diagnostic test protocols on patients without the necessity of having a dedicated piece of diagnostic test equipment or machine for each different diagnostic test. Medical office costs are accordingly reduced by the virtual office system's enabling a number of different tests to be performed and office efficiency is increased by just using one system for all the different diagnostic tests.
FIG. 4 is a representative diagram depicting the selection of maximum and minimum limits applied to an electric signal received from a patient undergoing a selected medical diagnostic test.
In the FIGS. the same elements or features are given the same reference number.
There is shown in the drawing, in functional block diagram form, a virtual medical office system 10 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As more particularly described below, functionally comprising virtual medical instrument system 10 are information/data storage means 12, information/data inputting means 14, protocol selecting means 16, operating means 18a visual display 20, audio means 22, signal receiving means 24 having associated therewith or forming a part thereof a preamplifier 26, output means 28, comparing means 30, limit setting means 32, signal generating means 34 and a universal interface 36, all of the foregoing being functionally interconnected as depicted in FIG. 1.
By way of example and not of limitation, information/data storage means 12 may comprise data storage portions of a computer (such as a hard disc) and inputting means 14 may, in combination be implemented by both a computer diskette drive and a computer keyboard. Selecting means 16 may comprise a computer keyboard, mouse, or a touch screen. Operating means 18 may comprise computer and operating portions of a computer and visual display 20 may comprise a computer monitor which may have touch screen capabilities. Audio means 22 may comprise a computer sound card and speakers.
Information/data storage means 12 stores two or more, and preferably a number of, medical diagnostic test protocols for tests to be performed on patients. Such tests and test protocols, which are well known to those skilled in the medical diagnostic art, would typically include two or more, and preferably most or all, of the protocols for EMG/NCV, EP, EEG, EKG, ENG, PFT, CMG, visual acuity, visual field, limb dynometry, vital signs, sensory testing and audiogram testing, are shown below in TABLE I.
As indicated in Table I, many of the listed diagnostic test protocols have several sub-routines. Table II provides a glossary of abbreviations used in Table I.
FEV            Forced Expiatory Volume in 1 Sec.
FEV1/FVC       Ratio or Percentage Out in 1 Sec.
The diagnostic test protocols enabled by system 10 are input into information/data storing means 12 by inputting means 14, which is shown functionally connected to the storage means by a communication link 40. Inputting means 16 may also advantageously be used to input to storage means 12 patient information, such as patients' names, addresses, telephone numbers, medical history, insurance coverage, billing information and the physicians' analysis or diagnosis of patients' conditions based upon results of medical diagnostic tests performed on the patients by the use of system 10.
A principal function of selecting means 14, which is shown functionally connected to storage means 12 by a communication link 42, is to select any desired one of the stored diagnostic test protocols (including any sub-routines thereof) to be performed on a patient. Each diagnostic test protocol may advantageously be displayed on visual display 20 in the form of a "pull-down" menu from which the various sub-routines can be selected, for example by highlighting.
Universal interface 36, which functions as the interface between main portions of system 10 and the "outside world," is formed having a number, for example, about twenty-four (as shown in FIG. 1), of electrical contacts 44 which may be of the conventional plug-in type. Interface 36 is shown functionally connected to selecting means 16 by a communication link 46 and to preamplifier 26 and signal generating means 34 by respective communication links 48 and 50. Electrical contacts 44 of universal interface 36 are configured for accepting connection ends of individual conventional electrical wires or conduits 52 which form conduit sets 52a through 52h which are, in turn, used for performing the corresponding medical diagnostic tests which are programmed into storage means 12. Such tests are represented by reference numbers 54a through 54h for diagnostic tests EMG/NCV, EP, EEG, EKG, ENG, PFT, CMG and Audiogram tests, the protocols of which are assumed, for purposes of explaining the present invention, to be stored in information/data storage means 12.
When a user of system 10 selects, by selecting means 16, any desired one of the medical diagnostic test protocols (corresponding to any of tests 54a-54h) stored in storage means 12 to be run on a patient, a corresponding conduit set 52a-52h is connected (by the user or an assistant) to interface contacts 44 in a preestablished pattern. The conduit connection pattern associated with the particular medical diagnostic test protocol selected by the user of system 10 is preferably shown on visual display 20, which is functionally connected to storage means 12 by a communication link 56.
By way of illustrative example, with no limitations intended or implied, and referring to FIG. 1, if a user of system 10 selects the EKG test (54d) protocol to be performed on a patient, conduit set 52d would be connected to contacts 44 of universal interface 36 in accordance with a connection pattern shown on display 20. In this example, the patient ends of conduit get 52d would, of course, be connected in the appropriate manner to the patent on which the EKG test is to be performed.
Conduit sets 52a through 52h may be preexisting, for example, in the case of retrofitting a medical office or facility with virtual medical instrument system 10, or may be provided as part of the virtual medical instrument system, for example, in new office or facility installations. It is to be appreciated that although conduit sets 52a through 52h are shown as being different sets of conduits for descriptive purposes, more than one test may use a common set of conduits.
The appropriate one of conduit sets 52a-52h corresponding to the selected medical diagnostic test protocol is connected to universal interface 36 and the patient. Performing of the test is controlled by operating means 18 which is functionally connected to the selecting means 16 by a communication link 60, to storage means by a communication link 62 and to visual display 20 by a communication link 64.
During the performing of the selected medical diagnostic test on a patient, electrical signals are transmitted from the patient over the particular set of conduits (in the foregoing example of an EKG test, over conduit set 52d) to universal interface 36 and over communication link 48 to preamplifier 26 of receiving means 24. Preamplifier 26 appropriately amplifies the received signals from the patient undergoing the test as required by the selected diagnostic test protocol and the configuration of system 10.
The patient's electrical signals are transmitted from receiving means 24, over a communication link 64, to output means 28. The received patient signals are also transmitted from receiving means 24, over a communication link 66, to visual display 20 and over a communication link 68 to storage means 12. As shown on FIG. 1, visual display 20 is connected to storage means 12 by communication link 56.
Without any intended or implied limitation, output means 28, as depicted in FIG. 2, preferably comprises one or more of a modem 80, to which is shown connected a telephone link 82; a strip chart printer 84, such is commonly used for the printing of continuous EKG signals from a patient; a conventional page or sheet printer 86; a diskette drive 88 which receives a conventional computer diskette 90; a video recorder 92; and an audio recorder 94.
Selecting means 16 is connected by communication link 72 to a switching bank 100 for selecting which one or ones of modem 80, strip chart printer 84, sheet printer 86, diskette drive 88, video recorder 92 and audio recorder 94 are connected for receiving and transmitting and/or recording the received patient signals associated with the selected medical diagnostic test being conducted.
Some stored medical diagnostic test protocols, for example, NCV and SSEP, require electrical stimuli to be applied to the patient on whom the test is being performed. The electrical signals received from the patient are in response to these stimuli signals applied to the patient. Signal generator 34 is provided for the purpose of supplying such stimuli signals to the patient through communication link 50 to interface 36, and from there to the patient through the appropriately connected conduit set 52a-52h (FIG. 1). For visual monitoring purposes, the generated stimuli signals are provided from signal generating means 34 over communication link 102 to visual display 20. Communication between signal generating means 34 and storage means 12 is over a communication link 104.
In the event that the stimuli signals from signal generating means 34 require amplification, the signal generating means may be connected to preamplifier 26 by a communication link 106 (shown in dashed lines).
Preferably, system 10 includes provisions for determining whether the correct one of conduits sets 52a-52h (as determined by the selected diagnostic test protocol) is correctly connected to interface 36 and the selected medical diagnostic test is being correctly conducted on the patient on which the test is to be conducted. This may be accomplished by signal comparing means 30 which is connected to receiving means by a communication link 110 and to selecting means 16 by a communication link 112. Selecting means 16 is, as mentioned above, connected to storage means by a communication link 42 and to operating means 18 by a communication link 60; the selecting means are also connected to visual display 20 by a communication link 114. Consequently, comparing means 30 is connected to storage means 12, operating means 18 and visual display 20 through selecting means 16.
When a selected diagnostic test is initiated on at patient, according to the diagnostic test protocol selected, an electric signal that is expected to be received from the patient undergoing test is provided from storage means 12, through selecting means 16 and over communication links 42 and 112, to comparing means 30. Preferably, the expected signal is also displayed for visual monitoring by a user of system 10 as a trace 116 in upper regions of a display screen 118 of visual display 20, as depicted in FIGS. 3A and 3B.
The patient-generated electrical signals received by receiving means 24, through the appropriate conduit set (for example, set 52d), and communication link 48 from interface 36, is provided to comparing means 30 (via communication link 110) wherein it is compared with the expected signal from the patient for the diagnostic test being performed on the patient.
Preferably, the received patient signal is also provided to visual display 20 (through selecting means 16 and communication links 112 and 114) where it is displayed, for visual monitoring purposes, as a trace on screen 118. By way of illustrative example, there is depicted in FIG. 3A a patient signal trace 120a which does not correspond to signal trace 116 of the signal expected to be received from the patient undergoing the selected diagnostic test. This lack of correspondence indicates that the there is some testing problem or error. For example, the individual conduits of the conduit set that is used for the selected test may be incorrectly connected to contacts 44 of interface 36 or may be incorrectly connected to the patient. As another example, a set of conduits for a diagnostic test other than the selected diagnostic test may inadvertently have been connected to interface 36.
Comparing means 30 are operative for electronically comparing the expected and actual electrical signals from the patient. In the situation just discussed above wherein the actual signals received from the patient do not correctly correspond, with the expected signals, comparing means 30 instruct operating means 18 (through selecting means 16 and communication links 112 and 60) to stop the test so that whatever problem that exists can be corrected. An audio signal may also be provided by audio means 22 (which is connected to storage means 12 by a communication link 124) to alert the user of system 10 that an error or problem has occurred.
On the other hand, if the actual patient signal corresponds to the expected signal, as depicted in FIG. 3B for patient signal trace 120b, comparing means 30 will not detect any lack of correspondence between the expected and actual signals and the selected diagnostic test protocol will continued uninterruptedly.
It will be understood that system 10 can further be configured so that comparisons between expected patient signals and actual patient signals can be made at different phases of the selected diagnostic test protocol, as may, for example, be advantageous when electrical connections to the patient are changed during the test when or different stimuli signals are provided to the patient.
It is further preferred to enable a user of system 10 to set or select patient signal limits associated with the selected medical diagnostic test protocol so that the user is, for example, alerted to possible patient medical problems indicated by the received patient electrical signals. To this end, limit setting means 32 are connected to receiving means 24 by communication link 130 and to selecting means 16 by a communication link 132 (FIG. 1). As in the case of above-described comparing means 30, limit setting means 32 are also connected for providing a visual display of the set limits to visual display 20 through communication link 114 from selecting means 16.
By way of illustrative example, there is depicted in FIG. 4 a received patient signal represented by signal trace 120c on screen 118 of visual display 20. Also depicted are a horizontal user-set upper limit trace 134a and a horizontal lower limit trace 134b (shown by broken lines). In this example, it can be seen in FIG. 4 that patient signal trace 120c exceeds upper limit trace 134a at one point "A" and exceeds (i.e., is below lower limit trace 134b) at two points "B".
In the case of user-set limits, it is desirable for traces 134a and 134b to be preset so as to automatically change or vary according to the ranges of expected patient signals during different phases of the selected diagnostic test protocol.
The printing, storing and/or communicating of the received patient signals associated with the selected diagnostic test protocol is enabled by output means 28, which as above-described may advantageously comprise a several different media, such as strip chart printer 84, page printer 86, diskette drive 88, VCR 93, audio recorder 94 and modem 80 (FIG. 2). As an illustration, by selecting means 16, which is connected to output means 28 by communication link 72, a patient's EKG signal may simultaneously be printed out in real-time on strip chart recorder 84, be stored for future analysis or permanent record by VCR 92 and transmitted to another location vis modem 80.
Limit setting means 32 may be connected to output means 28 by a communication link 136 so that the selected limits can be output along with the patient signals. Accompanying the patient signals from output means 28 may be such related patient information as name, address, prior test results. diagnoses, prescriptions, medical insurance carrier and limits, and test protocol information, such as date of test, attending physician, and comments regarding the test, as may be provided from storage means 12 (through selecting means 16 and communication links 42 and 72).
Medical instrument system 10 has been depicted in FIGS. 1-4 and has been described above in a functional manner. That is, major functions of system 10 have been shown as separate functional blocks in and are shown interconnected with a number of communication links, such as link 42 between storage means 12 and selecting means 42. All communication links are depicted in FIG. 1 as two way communication links (by showing arrows at both ends of the links) as will ordinarily be utilized. The illustrated communication links may comprise discrete wires or sets of wires or may comprise metalized paths between those functions that are constructed on a single chip or circuit board or card (not shown).
As indicated in the foregoing paragraph, virtual medical instrument system 10 may be implemented in a number of ways. It is presently preferred that storage means 12, selecting means 16, operating means 18, inputting means 12, visual display means 20, audio means 22, comparing means 30 and limit setting means 32 may be advantageously be formed as a computer work station 140, as shown in phantom lines in FIG. 1. Alternatively, system 10 may be constructed from discrete functional circuit boxes with two or several of the functions described above and depicted in FIG. 1 combined as multi-function circuits.
Although there has been described and illustrated a virtual medical instrument system and parts thereof in accordance with the present invention for purposes of illustrating the manner in which the invention may be used to advantage, it is to be appreciated that the invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, any and all variations and modifications that may occur to those skilled in the medical art are to be considered as being within the scope and spirit of the claims as appended hereto.
e. output means, connected to said signal receiving means, for providing an output corresponding to the received electrical signals.

From father to son
For decades, the same team of grape-pickers has returned to Cos d'Estournel year after year, leaving their village in southern Spain at harvest time every autumn.
It is not unusual for a child to take his first steps with his father and grandfather—and then one day see his own son work—among the vines of Cos d'Estournel. From one generation to another, families have long been passing down their intimate knowledge of, their passion for and their desire to protect and preserve the vineyard.
The loyalty and expertise of the men and women of Cos d'Estournel are inestimable. The bulk of the work is manual, and the hands that carry it out are guided by the experience of previous generations. Each member of the team is essential to the pursuit of excellence that defines the estate's philosophy.
Pride and humility
"I make wine because it evokes the eternal; it makes us want to grow older, to taste a wine and see how it evolves over time. My ideal wine is one that moves you, a wine that has a certain freshness but is also rich and generous. Every harvest brings its own satisfactions: my favorite vintages are the 2010 and the 2005. In 2010, we were equipped with the best techniques, and in 2005, the grapes were simply the most outstanding I have ever seen."

Q: How to get provider access token in Firebase functions? I'm planning to write Firebase function on Authentication user creation. My goal is to get the long live access token for the Facebook user page's.
To do that I need user access token in Firebase functions. Tried below..,
exports.saveLongLiveToken = functions.auth.user().onCreate(event => {
  console.log(event.providerData)
})

I though providerData will have the information about the Facebook credentials, but not instead I got only undefined.
Note: In the event, I got below
{ data:
   { displayName: 'Rob',
     email: 'xxx@xyz.com',
     metadata:
      { createdAt: 2017-08-23T18:58:34.000Z,
        lastSignedInAt: 2017-08-23T18:58:34.000Z },
     photoURL: 'http...',
     providerData: [ [Object] ],
     uid: 'xfff...' },
  eventId: 'xxx',
  eventType: 'providers/firebase.auth/eventTypes/user.create',
  notSupported: {},
  resource: 'projects/fiobot-4fa94',
  timestamp: '2017-08-23T18:58:34.571Z',
  params: {} }

A: If you are signing in with Firebase Auth signInWithPopup/Redirect, you will only get the access token after sign-in. Firebase Auth does not store it for you (neither does it store the Facebook refresh token). You will need to save it in the Database where only the specified user can access it and the Admin SDK via Firebase Functions can allow you access it. If you think Firebase Auth should manage OAuth tokens for providers, please file a request via Firebase Support channels.
If this is essential for your app functionality, you can use the Facebook API to sign in the user and get a Facebook access token and sign in with firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(firebase.auth.FacebookAuthProvider.credential(fbAccessToken))
Facebook client API can manage the OAuth token for you. You can also use a backend OAuth node.js library to refresh Facebook tokens via the Firebase Functions whenever you need one. You would need to get the Facebook refresh token though.

Ex-Treasury Official Pleads Guilty to Leaking Trump Campaign Financial Records
By Rick Moran 2020-01-14T10:18:59
A senior adviser at Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FinCEN, pleaded guilty to conspiracy for leaking the Trump campaign's confidential banking information to a reporter at BuzzFeed News.
Natalie Edwards, 41, entered the plea in a Manhattan federal court and could be sentenced to five years in prison. The plea deal she reached with prosecutors will keep her from serving little or no time behind bars.
Edwards leaked thousands of confidential banking records known as Suspicious Activity Reports ("SARs"). Banks must file those reports if they believe certain transactions raise questions about financial wrongdoing. The SARs were from records of various campaign officials under investigation, including Paul Manafort.
The SARs related to wire transfers made by Paul Manafort and other figures in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, including campaign official Richard Gates, Maria Butina and the Russian Embassy.
As law enforcement swooped in, she was carrying a government-issued USB flash drive containing not only thousands of SARs, but also "highly sensitive material relating to Russia, Iran, and the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant," prosecutors said.
"Edwards is not known to be involved in any official FinCEN project or task bearing these file titles or code names," prosecutors said at the time.
Prosecutors say there were about a dozen articles in BuzzFeed over the past 18 months that were based on information in the SARs. Edwards apparently transmitted the documents via images taken by her cellphone and then texted using an encrypted application.
She was a very helpful source for the reporter.
Edwards additionally sent or described to the BuzzFeed News reporter internal government emails or correspondence related to the reports and investigative memos and intelligence assessments published by her agency's intelligence division, prosecutors said.
When the judge asked her if she knew she was committing a crime, Edwards said she did not "know of the regulation" at the time but she knew about the federal Whistleblower Protection Act.
After consulting with her lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, she said she admitted that she agreed to disclose the SARs.
Prosecutors believe her motive was political.
Outside court, Agnifilo said the case illustrated how "one's subjective motivations really do not serve as a defense."
He said prosecutors were "probably of the view that she was more politically motivated than she was for some conception like the good of our republic."
Agnifilo said his client believed "certain critical facts" weren't being handled in the right way by the government agencies tasked with handling them.
Yes, just because you mean well doesn't save you if you break the law -- a fact that Julian Assange and Edward Snowden should take to heart. Assange and Snowden believe that because their motives for leaking were pure, they shouldn't be prosecuted. They took it upon themselves to expose their idea of corruption in the arrogant belief that they had a corner on truth.
Edwards may have been motivated by nothing more than Trump-hatred. She had no high moral goals to satisfy. Hers was a partisan political act, not the actions of a "whistleblower."

Though Point Park Conservatory Theatre's production of The Time of Your Life has several fine features, it must be said that by evening's end you do feel as if you've become a grave-robber.
William Sayoran's play, winner of a 1939 Pulitzer, is set in a San Francisco dive bar into which walks an endless parade of colorful locals; each has a brief scene, some lasting just a few lines, then disappears. There are a few central characters -- a mysterious rich man, his lackey and the bartender/owner. But the entire show is layered with the accumulated dust of 70 years, and it takes Herculean effort to muscle your way past the theatrical changes of the past seven decades and enter into the world of the play.
Sayoran, I think, was trying to locate a specific poetical American patois. And maybe, in 1939, he achieved that ... but I gotta tell you that in 2011, this is one hell of a talkie play in which each character sounds exactly like another. Even more amazing is that for a script with 26 (!) characters, almost nothing happens ... so it's two-and-half hours of stasis buried under an unending stream of -- to be frank -- blather.
I imagine this student company must be twice as flummoxed as I am by this deadly, dreary play ... but god love them if they didn't sail through with determination. Ryan Novakovich, it seems to me, comes closest to capturing the period and the style of the piece without overplaying. Director John Amplas has tried to overcome the leaden quality of the script with a lot of extraneous movement in the background ... I understand why he made the choice but, ultimately, so much repetitive upstage business makes a tedious play even more frustrating.
I salute Michael Thomas Essad's fine set design: A seedy bar never looked so compelling. And Don DiFonso's veritable truckload of costumes for this enormous cast goes a long way toward defining the milieu without ever overpowering it.
Still, I think it's safe to say that this is one play that's best left for dead.

Gordon Hayward is expected to be back at full strength this summer.
The 28-year-old forward signed a four-year, $128 million contract with the Celtics in July, but he suffered a gruesome leg injury in Boston's 2017-18 opener against the Cavaliers and missed the rest of the season.
Hayward underwent successful surgery to remove a plate and screws from his injured leg late last month. Boston coach Brad Stevens told The Boston Globe that Hayward is close to completing his comeback.
"Everything is good and pointed toward being back exactly where he was-hopefully pain-free, because that plate is taken out-in the middle of July, which probably points to an early-August, mid-August fully cleared time frame," Stevens said Monday.
Hayward spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Jazz. He averaged 21.9 points and was named an All-Star in 2016-17. Hayward played for Stevens at Butler from 2008-10.
The Celtics finished 2017-18 with a 55-27 record. They advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they fell to the Cavaliers in seven games.

The brother of Micah: Isshiah; from the sons of Isshiah: Zechariah.
(24) The sons of Uzziel . . . of the sons of Michah.--With 1Chronicles 24:24-25, comp. 1Chronicles 23:20. "Jesiah" there is the same Hebrew name as is here spelt "Isshiah;" it should be Yishshiyah in both places.
Shamir and Zechariah are the heads of the bne Micah and bne Isshiah. Only five heads of the nine Kohathite houses are mentioned, viz., Jehdeiah, Issliiah, Jahath, Shamir, and Zechariah.
Verses 24, 25. - These verses give us Shamir and Zechariah, descendants of Uzziel, Kohath's fourth son (1 Chronicles 23:12), the former through Michah (1 Chronicles 23:20), and the latter through Michah's brother, Isshiah (1 Chronicles 23:20), called here "sons of Uzziel," but presumably not intended for immediate sons (Exodus 6:22). In all these fourteen heads were drawn from the four sons of Kohath.
24:1-31 The divisions of the priests and Levites. - When every one has, knows, and keeps his place and work, the more there are the better. In the mystical body of Christ, every member has its use, for the good of the whole. Christ is High Priest over the house of God, to whom all believers, being made priests, are to be in subjection. In Christ, no difference is made between bond and free, elder and younger. The younger brethren, if faithful and sincere, shall be no less acceptable to Christ than the fathers. May we all be children of the Lord, fitted to sing his praises for ever in his temple above.

How to Listen to, Understand, and Enjoy Great Music
Merkin Concert Hall, 129 W. 67th St./ 4PM, $69
Presented by One Day University with Kaufman Music Center
"Enhance your concert-going experience with this fascinating class, which will introduce and explore some of the great composers and their works. Professor Orin Grossman (Fairfield University) will lead the audience through concepts of listening that transcend any one creator, style or genre. Performances will feature musically gifted students from Special Music School (P.S. 859) at Kaufman Music Center – a groundbreaking collaboration between the Center and the public school system of New York City."
Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (last day)
Joyce Theatre, 175 Eighth Ave., at 19th St./ 7:30PM, $55+
"It's rare for a touring ensemble to perform to live music, and even rarer for a contemporary troupe to do so—it's too expensive, too cumbersome. But Aspen Santa Fe has come up with a simple and elegant solution: a trio of piano ballets, all accompanied onstage by the excellent pianist Joyce Yang. In Jorma Elo's high-spirited "Half/Cut/Split," the dancers cavort, speedily, to Schumann's "Carnaval." The surrealism of Fernando Melo's "Dream Play"—in which dancers appear to balance on tightropes and fly—is paired with the spare melodies of Satie and Chopin. And Philip Glass's looping motifs set a moody atmosphere for Nicolo Fonte's "Where We Left Off." (Marina Harss, NewYorker)
The Bad Plus (LAST DAY)
Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Ave. S., at 11th St./ 8:30PM, +10:30PM, $35
"As momentous transitions go, it's been a relatively smooth one for the epochal trio the Bad Plus, which replaced its pivotal pianist Ethan Iverson with the equally skilled player Orrin Evans in 2017. A fine subsequent studio album, "Never Stop II"—which incorporated original material from Evans—and absorbing live performances have proved that the future looks bright for this once iconoclastic and now firmly entrenched ensemble." (Steve Futterman, NewYorker)
at Carolines on Broadway / 7:30PM, $
"Since releasing the 2017 Netflix special "America Is the Greatest Country in the United States," this comedian and actor, who co-starred on "30 Rock," has assembled a new campaign of political satire, "Future President," and he's taking it out on the road. He'll also field questions from the audience regarding his presidential platform for 2020 — if he were to actually run, that is." (NYT-Sean L. McCarthy)
Princess Zhaojun (Mar.21-24)
NYS Theater, (at Lincoln Center) / 8PM, $117+
"China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater makes its New York debut with a dance-theater pageant directed and choreographed by Kong Dexin. The show, written by Yu Ping and composed by Zhang Qu, tells of Wang Zhaojun, a legendary beauty who helped bring peace to the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago. Fifty dancers bring the story to life, with help from opulent costumes and sets." (TONY)
Elsewhere, but for you coffee lovers this is surely worth the detour:
Coffee and Tea Festival (Mar.23-24)
Brooklyn Expo Center in Greenpoint / 12-5PM, General admission $25; some seminars require additional fee; food available for purchase.
"Elevate your heart rate and your caffeine consumption vehicle with samples from dozens of purveyors at the two-day Coffee & Tea Festival: NYC. After you load up on brews and channel all that jittery energy into a tea selection lesson, equipment demonstration, or a crafting seminar." (thrillist.com)
Death Becomes Us (last day)
Find your favorite murder.
Various locations, times
"The first NYC edition of this D.C.-based festival brings together crime authors, content creators, and their fans. Highlights include a talk with Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder of Serial and a panel on being falsely accused with Amanda Knox and Damien Echols, who spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit." (vulture.com)
STREB (weekends through May 12)
Streb Lab for Action Mechanics, 51 N. 1st St., Bklyn. / Sat.5PM, Sun.3PM; $25
"The shows that STREB Extreme Action puts on at its Williamsburg headquarters have a carnival atmosphere, and not just because eating and drinking are encouraged. Will the Action Heroes, as the intrepid dancer-acrobats are styled, collide as they hurl themselves off a trampoline? Will they get whacked by swinging cinder blocks or huge metal contraptions? Probably not, but they want you to cringe. Their newest machine is the Molinette, a giant bar that revolves like the blade of a windmill." (Brian Seibert, NewYorker)
The Streb performers are absolutely amazing and so worth the detour.
I try to see them every year, can't get enough.
NOCHE FLAMENCA (thru Mar.31, NO MON.)
at the Connelly Theater / Tue – Thu at 7:30pm; Fri & Sat at 8pm; Sundays at 3pm; $20+
"This splendid flamenco company, led by Martín Santangelo, its artistic director, and the dancer Soledad Barrio, presents "Entre Tú y Yo" ("Between You and Me"), an evening of solos, duets and ensemble works that includes "Refugiados" ("Refugees"), which has been recently added to the company's repertoire. The piece transforms poems written by children in refugee camps into song and dance. The program also features the latest iteration of "La Ronde," which is inspired by Max Ophüls's 1950 film and spotlights the talents of a guitarist, a vocalist and a solo dancer." (NYT-Gia Kourlas)
If you like flamenco even a little, you must see Soledad's performance.
NCAA – Make March Madness a slam dunk
DeKalb Market Hall / Free to enter; standard menu prices
"Why celebrate the annual March Maddening from your sofa when you can make it an occasion at DeKalb Market Hall's DeKalb Stage? See the tourney on the new venue's 180" projection screen, sip cocktails, and snack on Ample Hills ice cream, Katz's pastrami, and Chicks Isan's wings.' (thrillist.com)
Elsewhere, but this looks worth the detour and is an easy trip on the #2,3 express subway to Nevins St. (2 stops after Wall St.)

You can often see him at his table in the corner, hard at work reviewing music videos and listening to cd demos on his laptop, scouting out future bookings. Musicians come from all over to play and sing in a club in Greenwich Village. Some are local New Yorkers, others are just passing through, in town for a few days.
There is a small bar, seating maybe 10. It's close to the stage and I find it's a perfect spot to sip a glass of red wine while listening to the music. The room itself has the performance area at one end and a cozy fireplace at the other. The performance area here is small, dominated by a large black Yamaha Grand piano. Tables are bunched together and most people at the tables are eating lite meals or sampling the wonderful desserts.
There is also a good selection of fairly priced wines, but you are here because of the music. You can never be quite sure what you're going to find, and that's half the charm of this place. It's not a home run every night, but many nights it's pretty special.
I remember the night I saw the most talented bossa nova group, just in from San Paulo. As I listened, I wondered if there was any better music playing anywhere else in New York City that night. And at Caffé Vivaldi there is never a cover charge. Their recently redesigned web site does give you a better idea of the type of music playing each night.
At one time Greenwich Village was filled with clubs just like this, but times change. Real estate interests have impacted the village, and not for the better. Even Caffé Vivaldi had a rough time recently, when a new landlord raised the rent exorbitantly. Fortunately, Ishrat has built a loyal following over the years, and a fund raiser and slightly more reasonable rent has kept Café Vivaldi in business.
When Woody Allen and Al Pacino wanted to make movies featuring the timeless quality of Greenwich Village they came to Vivaldi. It's important that we keep this special place alive, for if we lose Cafe Vivaldi, NYCity will have lost a piece of it's soul.
CAFFE VIVALDI HAS CLOSED, VERY SAD.
I HAVE LEFT THIS REVIEW ON MY SITE AS A KIND OF MEMORIAL.
As reported in the "Gothamist":
"Caffe Vivaldi, one of the last bohemian bastions of the West Village, is set to close this weekend. During its 35 years on Jones Street, the casual cafe won the hearts of locals and celebs alike, including Oscar Isaac, Bette Midler, and Al Pacino.
Despite that friendly communal atmosphere, the owners ultimately struggled to survive under their notorious vulture landlord Steve Croman, who they say waged a harassment campaign against the restaurant, and eventually tripled their rent."

Walk 1 blk S. on 7th ave S. to Bleecker St., 1 blk left on Bleecker to Jones St., 50 yards left on Jones St. to Caffe V.
"Pub" is used in it's broadest sense – bars, bar/restaurants, jazz clubs, wine bars, tapas bars, craft beer bars, dive bars, cocktail lounges, and of course, pubs – just about anyplace you can get a drink without a cover charge.

3 Good Eating places
It's not difficult to find a place to eat in Manhattan.
Finding a good, inexpensive place to eat is a bit harder.
Here are a few of my faves in this neighborhood:
Fish – 280 Bleecker St. (just a bit S. of 7th ave South)
This was an easy pick – the best raw bar special in town. $9 gets you 6 of the freshest oysters or clams + a glass of wine or beer. Don't know how they can do it, but I tell everyone I know about this place. And it's located right in the heart of some of the best no cover music in town.
Bleecker Street Pizza – 69 7th ave S. (corner of Bleecker St.)
The place is tiny and not much to look at, but this is one good slice. They like to brag that they have been voted "Best pizza in NY" 3 years in a row by the Food Network. I believe them. I would have voted for them.
Num Pang – 21 E 12th St. (btw. University Place/5th ave.)
This is a Cambodian banh mi sandwich shop that kept me well fed while I was in class nearby recently. It's cramped, even for NYCity, but usually there is room up the spiral staircase to sit down and eat. In good weather carry your sandwich a few blocks to Union Square park. You may have to wait a few minutes, because everything is freshly made, but it's worth it. Can you believe – an unheard of 26 food rating by Zagat.
"3 Good Eating places" focuses on a quick bite, what I call "Fine Fast Food – NYCity Style"
No reservations needed.
NYCity is the most diverse and interesting place to find a meal anywhere in the world. With more than 24,000 eating establishments you might welcome some advice.
◊ For all my picks of 54 Good Eating places, and essays on my favorite 18 PremierPubs in 9 Neighborhoods on Manhattan's WestSide, order a copy of my e-book:
"Eating and Drinking on NYCity's WestSide" ($4.99, available SUMMER 2019).

"Lea Turns Krycek Into X-Files Star"
by Ian Spelling
New York Times Special Features
"I've never seen Krycek as a bad guy," says Nick Lea, who first appeared on The X-Files as FBI Agent Alex Krycek in the second season episode "Sleepless" and has since transformed Krycek into one of the series' most popular recurring characters. "He's a one-armed man on his own." And he causes every sort of havoc imaginable.
This Sunday in "Patient X," Krycek gets it on with Marita Covarrubias, kidnaps a young Russian boy, then exposes him to the mysterious black oil; loses a battle of wits with the Well-Manicured Man. He does all this as faceless alien creatures seem to be incinerating large groups of 'abductees.'
"Mulder's become so jaded and has so many doubts now. He thinks that everything he's learned or come to believe has been a government conspiracy, that there's no such thing as alien abduction or alien visitation, that he's been duped. It's a wonderful turn of events for The X-Files," Lea says, "because you're now watching Mulder undergo a real psychological transformation. I'm not that heavy in the show, but I've got nice, long scenes, important ones with a lot of impact not only on the show, but on the X-Files movie."
Lea will not be in the movie, due in theaters June 19. "The film stretches outside my realm of story," he says. "Also I was in Toronto working every single day on Once a Thief while they were shooting the movies, and getting away to do it would've been a logistical nightmare. Not being in the film was hard for me to swallow. I've come to terms with it now," Lea says. "I have a lot of respect for X-Files and the people who make it, and I'm very loyal to it."
"I was speaking to Frank Spotnitz, who is Chris' right-hand man, and he gave me some idea of what's going on," Lea says. "I said 'do I die?' and he said 'No, you don't, Krycek has nine lives.'"

Nikon Coolpix S6200 Overview
The Nikon Coolpix S6200 digital camera is targeted at photographers seeking an affordable long-zoom camera with a pocket-friendly body, and as such, it's likely to appeal to photographers looking to travel light without sacrificing zoom range, as well as outdoors and nature types. The S6200 replaces the previous S6100 model in the company's lineup.
At the heart of the Nikon Coolpix S6200 is a standard CCD image sensor with an effective resolution of 16.0 megapixels. Total resolution of the S6200's 1/2.3-inch type imager is 16.44 megapixels. The Nikon S6200 offers sensitivities ranging from ISO 80 to 3,200 equivalents, with everything from ISO 100 to 1,600 equivalents available to an Auto ISO function.
The Nikon S6200's 1.0-inch thick body includes a Nikkor ED-branded 10x optical zoom lens, offering everything from a generous 25mm-equivalent wide angle to a useful 250mm telephoto. As you'd expect given the telephoto reach, which would otherwise require a 1/250th second shutter speed or higher for handholding, the S6200 includes true optical image stabilization. Maximum aperture varies from f/3.2 to f/5.8 across the zoom range. There's also a 4x digital zoom function which provides an effective 1,000mm-equivalent telephoto when combined with the optical zoom, although like any digital zoom this extra reach will come at the cost of significantly reduced image clarity, since the camera is essentially just taking the center of an image shot at the camera's maximum optical zoom level, then scaling it up to full resolution and making some educated guesses as to the missing data (with more to guess as the zoom level increases). By default, the Nikon S6200's lens can focus to just 20 inches (50 cm) at wide angle, and 40 inches (1 m) at telephoto, but a macro mode enables focusing as close as just 4 inches (10 cm) in the wide angle position.
The rear panel of the Nikon S6200 offers up a 2.7-inch TFT LCD panel with an approximate resolution of 77,000 pixels (230,000 dots, with each pixel comprising adjacent red, green, and blue dots.) The S6200's screen is said to have an anti-reflective coating, and a five-level brightness adjustment.
The Coolpix S6200 offers not only still-image capture, but also a high definition 720p (1,280 x 720 pixel) video capture mode. The S6200 allows use of the optical zoom lens during video capture, enabling consumer videographers to better follow their subject as recording continues. There's also a selection of special effects functions that cater to artistic types who don't want to sit in front of a computer editing their photos, although a list of these modes wasn't available at press time.
Images and movies are stored on Secure Digital cards, including the higher-capacity SDHC and SDXC types. The S6200 also includes approximately 74MB of available internal memory, enough to capture a few of the most important shots, should you accidentally leave your flash card at home. Catering to transferring of images and movies to a computer, the Nikon S6200 offers a USB 2.0 High Speed data connection, and there's also an HDMI high-definition video output. Power comes from a proprietary EN-EL12 lithium-ion battery pack, rated for approximately 250 shots on a charge, to CIPA testing standards.
The Nikon Coolpix S6200 has dimensions of approximately 3.7 x 2.3 x 1.0 inches (93.0 × 56.7 × 25.4 mm) excluding projections, and weighs 5.7 oz. (160 g) including battery and SD memory card. The product bundle includes one EN-EL12 battery pack, both USB and video cables, an AC charging adapter, camera strap, and ViewNX 2 software CD-ROM.
The COOLPIX S6200 will be available in the US market from mid-September 2011 in red, pink, silver, blue and black versions. Pricing is set at approximately US$230.

TODAY IN WOMEN'S HISTORY!
posted by Mike and Mindy - Mar 7, 2018
Today we consider the bond of women…as it was in March of 1851, that Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton met on a street corner in Seneca Falls, New York. They had known of each other, as it was 1848 when Anthony traveled to an antislavery meeting in Seneca Falls – and Stanton had organized the first national woman's rights convention there. Friends for years to come, Anthony was inspired by Stanton's vision for advancing women, and Anthony had the organization skills. And while their dreams would wait to take flight until after the Civil War, it was these women who launched a national woman's suffrage movement. Stanton served as founder of the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869 and president of the organization from (1869–90). She was also president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (1890–92) (the organization took shape after the merging of the National Woman Suffrage Association – or NWSA - and the American Woman Suffrage Association – the AWSA). Anthony took over as president of the NAWSA for four years in 1892.When Stanton's health failed and her political leanings pushed her away from the movement in her later years, Anthony remained on the front lines and it was their mutual passion for equality that ultimately saw the 19th Amendment's adoption in 1920.

Whitcom & Shaftesbury London
What is a Savile Row suit
May 3, 2022May 3, 2022 whitcombandswhitcombands 7:16 am
A Detailed Guide to Savile Row suit for Men
The company with more than 200 years of history began as a uniform company for the military. But when in 1760 its founder Thomas Hawkes moved to London and opened his first atelier, his clients, apart from commanders of the British army, included the titled persons of the United Kingdom, including King George III. In the following years the services of the company, which today offers both ready-to-wear clothes for British aristocrats and tailoring, were used by Winston Churchill, Admiral Nelson, Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jackson and Bill Clinton. It is not surprising that the public figures from different countries prefer to order a suit exactly at Gieves & Hawkes; the tailors of this tailoring shop take into consideration all the peculiarities and fashion preferences of a client. Even the size of a watch is taken into account to make sure the cuffs of a shirt fit perfectly.
Ray Stowers and his son opened their own tailoring company in 2007 after 25 years in atelier Gieves & Hawkes. He has dressed members of the British monarchy, Arabian sheikhs and other public figures like Daniel Craig and David Beckham. By the way, it was Ray Stowers who designed Michael Jackson's famous hussar jacket. And he even helped Mikhail Gorbachev have a successful meeting with Margaret Thatcher. The British Prime Minister noted the impeccable suit of the Secretary General, tailored by Stowers, and realized that it was possible to do business with this man.
When Richard James opened his atelier on Savile Row in the early 1990s, he established himself as a tailor who gave the usual classic suits a modern interpretation – slim cuts and bright fabric colors. The innovation and style of the tailored suits at Atelier Richard James have been celebrated in Britain with various awards, such as "Menswear Designer of the Year" and "Tailoring Designer of the Year". Today James' suits are favored by the most stylish men in the U.K. and beyond: David Gandhi, Elton John, Tom Cruise, Hugh Grant and others.
Proof of how much English dandies love and honor Savile Row's long history was an incident in 2012 involving the opening here of a representative office of American mass-market brand Abercrombie & Fitch. To prevent an unwanted men's haute couture store from appearing on the street, elegantly dressed London gentlemen came out with "Save Savile Row" banners.
Henry Huntsman opened his atelier as early as 1849. It was first on Albemarle Street, then on Bond Street, and moved to Savile Row in 1919. Huntsman's one-button suits feature elegant silhouettes, high armholes and accentuated waistlines. Most of all, Huntsman specializes in tweed suits. The material for these suits is made at Britain's oldest mill in Islam, which has been in operation since 1550.
The history of Henry Poole atelier in Savile Row is one of the longest, and members of the Poole dynasty have been at the helm of Henry Poole & Co for over 200 years. The company's founder was James Poole, who, because his start coincided with the Battle of Waterloo, retrained as a military tailor. James' follower was his son Henry – he transformed his father's atelier into a chic salon for tailoring exclusive clothing, which is still popular today. For its clients (among which in due time there were many members of the British royal family, Napoleon III, Winston Churchill and others) Henry Poole & Co presents a choice of more than 6,000 samples of quality fabrics and exclusive accessories.
It's worth noting that not all ateliers located on Savile Row offer quality and status suits. Many companies located on the main street of British men's fashion offer cheaper and therefore low-quality items of clothing. So if you are going to spend a few thousand pounds for a suit like an English dandy, be sure that you will really be offered clothes made of good fabrics, in which you will not lose face in the society of British aristocrats.
Are Savile Row suits good?
Savile Row suits are some of the best in the world. They are made with high-quality materials and feature a bespoke fit that is perfect for each individual.
If you're looking for a high-quality suit that will make you look and feel your best, a Savile Row suit is definitely worth considering. These suits can be expensive, but they last for many years and are well worth the investment.
What is the average cost of a Savile Row suit?
A Savile Row suit typically costs a minimum of $3,000.00. However, the price can go much higher depending on the materials and level of customization desired.
A Savile Row suit is made to order and can be customized to fit the individual's measurements and preferences. The suits are typically made from high-quality woolen fabrics, and the construction is often described as "handmade" or "bespoke". This means that each suit is custom tailored specifically for the individual who orders it, which results in a superior fit and overall quality.
Why is it called Savile Row?
Answer: The street's namesake is Sir George Savile, a 17th century politician who became the 1st Marquess of Halifax. He was given the land by King Charles II in 1668 as a gift for his support of the Crown during the Civil War. When he died, his son, also named George, inherited the property and began to lease out parcels of land to tailors. Soon enough, word got out about the high-quality cloth being made on Savile Row and demand for space on the street grew. The leases have been passed down through generations of Saviles and now many of London's top tailors have shops on Savile Row.
Are Savile Row suits hand sewn?
Yes, Savile Row suits are hand sewn. This is one of the factors that contributes to their high cost. Hand sewing is a slow and painstaking process, and it results in a much more precise and durable finished product than machine sewing.
Another factor that contributes to the high cost of Savile Row suits is the fact that they are made from very high-quality materials. Fine woolen cloth, for example, can be quite expensive. So even though the labor costs are higher for hand-sewn suits, the overall cost is still lower than it would be if machine-sewn suits were made from similar materials.

Q: How to add custom-control-derived TabItem to TabControl in WPF? I want to have my own base TabItem class and use other classes that derive from it.

I define base class in MyNs namespace like this:
public class MyCustomTab : TabItem
{
    static MyCustomTab()
    {
        DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(MyCustomTab), new  FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(TabItem)));
    }
}

And this is what I do for the class that inherits from it:
code-behind in MyNs namespace:
public partial class ActualTab : MyCustomTab
{
    public ActualTab()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

XAML:
<MyCustomTab x:Class="MyNs.ActualTab"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Grid>

</Grid>
</MyCustomTab>

The error I get is "The tag 'MyCustomTab' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'". If I use TabItem tag in XAML the error says that it's not possible to define to different base classes.
How to fix this?

A: Ok, I'm stupid, it should've been
<MyNs:MyCustomTab x:Class="MyNs.ActualTab"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:MyNs="clr-namespace:MyNs">
<Grid>

</Grid>
</MyNs:MyCustomTab>

I am using captivate 2019 and my project is not able to go through SCORM Cloud. and if it does its not getting a completion status in our LMS. Its at 100% slide view.
Have you tried the suggestions? If yes, what was the result?
Still not getting a completion status in our Corner Stone LMS. The button you suggest at the end still didn't get a completion status. I made it sure the button was the only criteria to be scored with a value of 1 and the completion criteria. They suggest that the jeopardy widget may be causing the issue our sponsor is very adamant in having that feature. Our course of action is to turn it into a .exe and management is considering Articulate Storyline because this is not the only instance Captivate cannot deliver the desired deliverable. Thanks for your responses to my issues.
Jeopardy widget is an interactive widget, which means that it can be scored as well. However the score will not reflect the score obtained in the game. It will be attributed to the learner if the game has been played. This is new information which you didn't mention before.
EXE files are Flash-based. I am sure the problems are due in the first place to lack of knowledge of Captivate, hope you have more luck with SL. It seems easier but is also much more limited in features.
Thanks for your input even though they have not helped at all. I have been using Captivate 7 all the way up to this recent version of 2019 and produced E-learning products for Private and Government sectors using this . Your comment of "lack of knowledge" is very disrespectful.
Sorry, but I have trained too many developers which did use Captivate since many versions as well, but really did lack some very basic knowledge of Captivate. Often their 'problems' were solved after gaining insight in those basics. It was not meant personally, but based on those experiences.
100% slide views can give problems, because you are never really sure that each slide will be viewed totally.
Either lower that requirement, or add a button which has to be pressed at the end by the user, and put a score to that button. You can then add the requirement to pass the quiz at a percentage of 100%.
