You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everythings in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Marys lacking in Tabasco
Remember when you used to be a rascal?
Oh, the boys a slag, the best you ever had
The best you ever had is just a memory and those dreams
Werent as daft as they seem, arent as daft as they seem
My love, when you dream them up
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when shes told shes gonna get it
Im guessing that shed rather just forget it
Clinging till Im getting sentimental
Said she wasnt going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?
Oh, the boys a slag, the best you ever had
The best you ever had is just a memory and those dreams
Werent as daft as they seem, not as daft as they seem
My love, when you dream them up
Oh, Flo, where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go?
Youre falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
Just sounding it out
But youre not coming back again
Youre falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You were just sounding it out
But youre not coming back again
You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everythings in order in a black hole
Is anything as pretty in the past though?
That Bloody Marys lacking in Tabasco
Remember when you used to be a rascal?


Im a puppet on a string
Tracy Island, time-traveling
Diamond cutter-shaped heartaches
Come to find you four in some velvet morning
Years too late, shes a silver lining
Lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when shes not right there beside me
I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I cant help myself, all I
Wanna hear her say is Are you mine?
Well, are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine? Woah, ah
I guess what Im trying to say is I need the deep end
Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes
Unfair were not somewhere misbehaving for days
Great escape, lost track of time and space
Shes a silver lining climbing on my desire
And I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I cant help myself, all I
Wanna hear her say is Are you mine?
Well, are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways
So in case, Im mistaken, I
Just wanna hear you say, You got me, baby
Are you mine?
Shes a silver lining
Lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when shes not right there beside me
I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I cant help myself, all I
Wanna hear her say is Are you mine?
Well, are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?


The mirrors image tells me its home time
But Im not finished, cause youre not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leavin
Carryin your shoes
Decided that once again I was just dreamin
Of bumpin into you
Now, its three in the mornin
And Im tryna change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply
Whyd you only call me when youre high?
High, whyd you only call me when youre high?
Somewhere darker, talkin the same shite
I need a partner, well are you out tonight?
Its harder and harder to get you to listen
More I get through the gears
Incapable of makin alright decisions
And having bad ideas
Now, its three in the mornin
And Im tryna change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply
Whyd you only call me when youre high?
High, whyd you only call me when youre high?
And I cant see you here, wonder where I might
It sort of feels like Im runnin out of time
I havent found all I was hopin to find
You said you got to be up in the mornin
Gonna have an early night
And youre startin to bore me, baby
Whyd you only call me when youre high?
Whyd you only ever phone me when youre high?
Whyd you only ever phone me when youre high?
Whyd you only ever phone me when youre high?
Whyd you only ever phone me when youre ?


So youre on the prowl wondering whether
She left already or not
Leather jacket, collar popped like antenna
Never knowing when to stop
Sunglasses indoors, par for the course
Lights in the floors and sweat on the walls
Cages and poles
Call off the search for your soul
Or put it on hold again
Shes having a sly indoor smoke
And she calls the folks who run this, her oldest friends
Sipping a drink and laughing at imaginary jokes
As all the signals are sent, her eyes invite you to approach
And it seems as though those lumps in your throat
That you just swallowed have got you going
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Number one party anthem
Shes a certified mind blower
Knowing full well that I dont
May suggest theres somewhere from which I might know her
Just to get the ball to roll
Drunken monologues, confused because
Its not like Im falling in love, I just want ya
To do me no good
And you look like you could
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Number one party anthem
Come on, come on, come on
Before the moments gone
Number one party anthem, yeah, yeah
The look of love, the rush of blood
The Shes with mes, the Gallic shrug
The shutterbugs, the Camera Plus
The black & white and the color dodge
The good time girls, the cubicles
The house of fun, the number one
Party anthem, oh
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Before the moments gone
Number one party anthem
Number one party anthem
Number one party anthem
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, sorry for not writing for a whole there, but I've had a pretty busy weekend so far. I found out I have about 20 tests on Tuesday because my teachers are evil...but oh well. We had marching yesterday. It was cool. We stayed inside the whole time, and I got to play second part, so the music part will be really easy. I left early from marching at around 5:00, then went out to dinner with my friends (I made the plans before I knew about marching). So, dinner was fun. It was Kelly's birthday, so it was cool. Then we went to Kel's for a sleepover, and did bunches of neat stuff, and I went to sleep earlier than usual for a sleepover since I had to be at a Bar Mitzvah this morning. It was pretty neat. I have to do this project for CR, and we have to go to two different places of worship than our own. So, one is obviously a Jewish synagogue, and I think I'm going to go to a mosque for my other one, but who knows...so, this has been my only chance to write, and I actually have to go now, so I'll write more later...maybe.  *Ya di amore*


Yeah, so today was ok, late arrival. I'm not in the mood to write much, so..I probably will end up writing a ton. I always end up doing that when I say I don't want to write much. Nothing interesting happened in any of my classes, and I only talked with a couple of good people including, "You know who"...except, you don't know who, "You know who," is. Oh well, no one reads this thing anyway. I made it to the top of the rock climbing wall today. Kelly and I intend to conquer the whole wall. It'll be fun. Jazz was good fun as always...heh, and that's really it. Have a lovely evening everyone, and I am off to sleepyland. (I actually didn't write a lot. I'm shocked.)  *Ya di Amore*


Yay, Tuesday...no longer Monday! Whoopie! Plus...late arrival tomorrow which is always good...except, we've only had it once, so yeah...I'll shut up now. Anyway, my day was ok. I sat alone on the bus again! Yay, go being alone on the bus! Umm, I didn't get to finish my EPVM homework before school because Mr. A wouldn't let us in. What a poopeyhead. Anyway, yeah, I ended up just reading  There Are No Children Here . Great book, I'd suggest reading it. Depressing though. So, when we finally got in there, I was like, "All right! I still have time to do homework," but then Nathan's like, "We're still having sectionals." Now you see, we have four people in our trumpet section for jazz because one quit, and one of the kids in the section didn't show up, so our sectional consisted of Nathan, Tom, and I just playing randomly. Oh fun! Nathan kind of forgot to give Alstadt his keys back after opening one of the practice rooms, and took them to math with him. I had to go find him, and get the keys from him. His math teacher kind of glared at me, but oh well. At least I missed warming up in WE. So, yeah, I tried doing the homework in WE, but of course there was Dan, Dave, Peter, and Don being mean...shock shock. At least Matt's a nice kid. So, we played this song in WE (Wow, we played music in music class, woo!) and there was this one part that only 3rd and 4th trumpet play, and I was trying to play it right, but Dan was playing it wrong, and he was sitting next to me, so it's hard not to go with what he's doing.. So...we probably both messed up, and it just didn't combine well, but of course...I was the one who got yelled at for it. Oh well. I'll seek revenge on them someday. We talked about transposing in Music Theory, fun stuff, and they actually said that I'm too hard on myself. I thnk I'm not hard enough on myself. Moving along...EPVM (Nap time!) we talked about past tense, and whatnot. Very boring stuff. Umm, gym...heh, whoops, forgot gym shoes, oh well, it happens. So, I read all period. Math...ok, I was determined not to answer. I don't like answering in that class...but, most of my class...arg...dumb as rocks. It's really obnoxious. I'm not saying I'm an Einstein, but really people...so, I was finally forced to succumb to the evil math devil, and I answered. My math teacher is...well, to say the least a bit boring. Mr. Madsen...eek. Even the name is boring. Oh well...umm, lunch..watched Kelly beat Brett at chess...It was interesting. Comparative Religions was good as usual, and science was...boring, as usual. Talking to Alex and Joanne now.They're really cool kids. Alex put me in his profile...he's back on my nice list. :) Anyway...jazz after school was interesting, but gosh darnit!! I am SO bad at improv Why? I'm probably making it a lot harder than it should be, but...I'm just not the most outgoing person when it comes to playing my trumpet. I was told by a clarinet player that I have a small head, and you know good trumpet players. They all have really big heads, that of course meaning egos. So...possibly I just should have picked flute. Oh well...we just found out we're supposed to have jazz combo on Tuesday's. I had no idea, and already had plans I couldn't cancel, so...now I feel awful for leaving them. Sorry guys...but yeah, I ate dinner, had a lesson, and now here I am...pondering the meaning of life...no not really, but oh well. Nothing more to write now, possibly more later....possibly... ~Ya di amore~


Thought- OK...so, I'm all for midgets and whatnot. I'm not all, "down with midgets," but really, don't you think it'd be rude to say, "Up with midgets?"  ~Ya di amore~


Yeah, so it's later. My parents found something constructive for me to do...clean. Grrr, why do parents always think of that constructive crap? It's really obnoxious. I'm sitting here enjoyig my time of peace, no homework, and listening to jazz...and all of a sudden, "Hey catie, go clean." So, I say what I always say, "Yeah sure, fine, I'll clean." (Of course I almost never do this,) except..the problem was, my mom came upstairs, and asked me all nicely and whatnot to clean with that momly voice that makes you feel really guilty. and so I trudge downstairs get the cleaning stuff, and clean the bathroom. Bleh! I can't stand cleaning. I think I should be a gold digger, and marry a rich guy so I can have a cleaning lady, and so I can hire a cook to make me peanut butter sandwiches all the time, and then when I get super duper fat, and this guy wants a divorce, it'll all be good, because I won't have signed a prenuptial agreement. So I'll still get half the assets. Now of course, I'll have to become a witch first in order to make a rich guy, or any guy for that matter marry me. But see...now you all know my plan, so I'll have to come up with a new plan. Oh well. Anyway, I really have nothing to write, but I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone, so I'm just writing. I wish I could go to the park. It's my favorite place in the world. I bring my mini disc thing-a-ma-bobber, and go on the swings, and think and swing at the same time. It really is a fantastic place to go when you need to be alone, and think about stuff...except when the little kids come, and they look at you like you're frankenstein because you're a big kid on a swing...so, they're all afraid to get onto that other swing. It drives them crazy, because I usually stay there for an hour or so. I love little kids. They make me laugh. :) Anyway, I've bored you enough, so I shall write more at some later time.  ~Ya di amore~


Yeah, so this is just a place for me to vent about my, "oh so horrible life in my bubble town." Sarcasm really is wasted online most of the time. I don't know why I bother with it. It either sounds like I'm a mean horrible person, or I'm serious. Oh well, anyway, today was surprisingly good for a Monday. I got a pretty good night of sleep last night, and actually did my homework. Went to school, sadly on the bus...but at least I got to sit alone. Why sit alone you ask? It's my only time to have, "Alone time,"  and I had my trumpet with me, so that kind of gets in the way. Anyway, I got to school, and of course said hello to everyone. Brandon was at least feeling a little better today which is good...except for the story that went along with it, which involved him, and ceramic (he, of course did not say that as politely.) Anyway, that was good. Carson came by to see me, and check on this alleged new mitten policy, and she wears mittens in school all the time, so of course she was upset. I made the rounds with her after that, saw cute Jake, a girl from Speech Team, and some other folks. The six minute bell didn't ring so I was a bit late getting to Wind Ensemble. Meh, it's ok. My trumpet section is crazy anyway. We were supposed to be doing sectionals, but that didn't exactly happen...we sort of got yelled at by A. I played my music theory composition (which was horrid)  but I'm glad I got it over with. Mrs. Kane yelled at us about our Lit Analysis papers...no F's but some D's...that'll be me. Anyway, rock climbing in gym today! Yay! It was super fun. I just want to do more of it. Ummm, then the rest of my day was even more uneventful than the first half, but I actually have no homework, so what am I supposed to do with my time? Something else productive? Psh. Yeah right. We didn't end up having combo, which of course...was excellent, because I can't solo...heh. We wont even go down that road, but anyway, then I came home, ate food, and here I am...being incredibly wasteful of my time, and writing this thing. I'll write more later...maybe...if anything actually happens. Anyway, I'm out for now.  ~Ya di amore~


Eventful day...well, sort of. Eventful to me considering I'm a loser with no life. I just got home from the second party I went to tonight. It was super-duper fun, as was the first party I went to....but, I'll talk about that more later. Well, today was the last day before break, and it was dress up day, so naturally, I wore my dressiest outfit. Pajamas. They had stars on them. Quite nifty. Got the school newspaper, and there was this editorial (editorial being the operative word there, meaning that they ARE allowed to have opinions) in there that talked about teens and sex. They used band practice rooms, and band in general to prove their point. Honestly, I think people are making far too big of a deal out of it. It's a stupid editorial. Editorials are supposed to get a rise out of you. They're opinions. So, my opinion of the whole situation is to let it go, and be mature about it, but...many of the band kids beg to differ with me. Oh well. Anyway, this contraversial story was the highlight of my school day. Quite amusing. After school, I came home, blah-de-blah-de-blah, and then at 5:15'ish Carson picked me up, and we went to Noodles to celebrate her birthday. It was really fun. I got to meet some really awesome people. :) When we went in, these kids from Nequa stole our table. We plotted to get revenge, but never did. Then during dinner, this really creepy guy kept looking at us. He came at three different times during the meal looking through the window. *Shiver* Then, when we decided to go home and were standing outside waiting for Carson's mom to come, this guy in a van asks us where Naperville Central is, so, being the polite kids we are, we told him. So, then he says, "Are you sure?"  We say, "Yes, we're sure." "Do you kids go there?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "OK, so I take a left, then another left at the bell tower. Are you sure?" "Yes!" Finally, after asking us about ten thousand times if we're sure, he turns the corner, and we start talking, and we're like, "Didn't he notice the jackets, and he asked, "Are you sure," a heck of a lot." To our dismay, he was still basically right there. With his windows rolled down. Whoops. Oh well, that was my adventure at Noodles. Carson's parents drove us home, and I went to Kathryn's for her shindig. It was also tons of fun. We were looking at classified ads in the newspaper it was hilarious. "HOT Victoria's secret model. Likes to rollerblade, work out, talk, and MUCH more."  "Great looking man looking for a vivacious woman to please me."  It was just too funny. Well, I should be off to bed now. I have to get up early the first day of Winter Break? How poopy is that? My brother has a bunch of friends over though, so, it'll be hard to fall asleep with all the noise. I'll just turn my music up. :) Anyway, I'm off to sleepyland. Goodnight everyone. Sweet dreams.  *Ya di amore*


:o) Hey...it looks like Alex. You know, the nose taking up the whole face kind of thing!! Except the smiley is MUCH cuter!

#3337 Add typing overloads to Dataset.__getitem__ for mypy

Add typing overloads to Dataset.__getitem__ for mypy

Fixes #3337

**Iterable**
Iterable from `collections` cannot have a type, so you can't do `Iterable[int]` for example. `typing` has a Generic version that builds upon the one from `collections`.

**Flake8**
I had to add `# noqa: F811`, this is a bug from Flake8.

datasets uses flake8==3.7.9 which released in October 2019 if I update flake8 (4.0.1), I no longer get these errors, but I did not want to make the update without your approval. (It also triggers other errors like no args in f-strings.)


Unable to load audio_features from common_voice dataset

bug

Something isn't working

## Describe the bug
I am not able to load audio features from common_voice dataset

## Steps to reproduce the bug

```
from datasets import load_dataset
import torchaudio

test_dataset = load_dataset("common_voice", "hi", split="test[:2%]")
resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(48_000, 16_000)

def speech_file_to_array_fn(batch):
      speech_array, sampling_rate = torchaudio.load(batch["path"])
      batch["speech"] = resampler(speech_array).squeeze().numpy()
      return batch
test_dataset = test_dataset.map(speech_file_to_array_fn)
```
## Expected results

This piece of code should return test_dataset after loading audio features.

## Actual results

iter_archive on zipfiles with better compression type check

Hello @lhoestq , thank you for your detailed answer on previous PR !
I made this new PR because I misused git on the previous one #3347.
Related issue #3272.

# Comments  :

* For extension check I used the `_get_extraction_protocol` function in **download_manager.py** with a slight change and called it `_get_extraction_protocol_local`:

**I removed this part :**
 ```python
    elif path.endswith(".tar.gz") or path.endswith(".tgz"):
        raise NotImplementedError(
            f"Extraction protocol for TAR archives like '{urlpath}' is not implemented in streaming mode. Please use `dl_manager.iter_archive` instead."
        )
```
**And also changed :**
```diff
- extension = path.split(".")[-1]
+ extension = "tar" if path.endswith(".tar.gz") else path.split(".")[-1]
```
The reason for this is a compression like **.tar.gz** will be considered a **.gz** which is handled with **zipfile**, though **tar.gz** can only be opened using **tarfile**.

Please tell me if there's anything to change.

The Academy Award for Best Production Design recognizes achievement for art direction in film. The category's original name was Best Art Direction, but was changed to its current name in 2012 for the 85th Academy Awards. This change resulted from the Art Directors' branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) being renamed the Designers' branch. Since 1947, the award is shared with the set decorator(s). It is awarded to the best interior design in a film.

The films below are listed with their production year (for example, the 2000 Academy Award for Best Art Direction is given to a film from 1999). In the lists below, the winner of the award for each year is shown first, followed by the other nominees in alphabetical order.

Since HUVECs released superoxide anions in response to TNF , and H2O2 induces VCAM-1 , PDTC may act as a radical scavenger .


Although ICAM-1 induction was unaffected , inhibitors of NADPH oxidase ( apocynin ) or cytochrome P-450 ( SKF525a ) suppressed VCAM-1 induction by TNF , revealing that several radical-generating systems are involved in its regulation .


PDTC , apocynin , or SKF525a decreased adhesion of monocytic U937 cells to TNF-treated HUVECs ( by 75 % at 100 mumol/L PDTC ) .


Inhibition by anti-VCAM-1 monoclonal antibody 1G11 indicated that U937 adhesion was VCAM-1 dependent and suppression by antioxidants was due to reduced VCAM-1 induction .


Displacement of an E-box-binding repressor by basic helix-loop-helix proteins : implications for B-cell specificity of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer .


The activity of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain ( IgH ) enhancer is restricted to B cells , although it binds both B-cell-restricted and ubiquitous transcription factors .


Activation of the enhancer in non-B cells upon overexpression of the basic helix-loop-helix ( bHLH ) protein E2A appears to be mediated not only by the binding of E2A to its cognate E box but also by the resulting displacement of a repressor from that same site .


We have identified a `` two-handed '' zinc finger protein , denoted ZEB , the DNA-binding specificity of which mimics that of the cellular repressor .


By employing a derivative E box that binds ZEB but not E2A , we have shown that the repressor is active in B cells and the IgH enhancer is silenced in the absence of binding competition by bHLH proteins .

Influence of transdermal nitrates on exercise capacity in patients with stable angina.

Twenty patients completed a double-blind cross-over study to determine the influence of a transdermal preparation of Nitroglycerin on exercise performance in stable angina.

Angiographically proven two or three vessel coronary disease was present in all.

After a base-line exercise test the active device was titrated to efficacy or side effects and the number of patches thereafter remained constant (2-6 patches per day; mean 3.5).

Patients were randomly allocated to active treatment or placebo, and further exercise tests were performed at 2 hours and 26 hours after application of the device.

Patients were then crossed over after one days rest to the opposite treatment group, and exercise studies repeated.

Two hours after application of transdermal nitroglycerin total exercise duration increased (mean 14.0 minutes) compared to placebo (12.5 minutes) and control (12.0 minutes) (p less than 0.05).

Exercise time to anginal threshold (angina + 1.5 mm ST segment depression) was increased at 2 hours and 26 hours with active drug by 11% compared to placebo and by 22% in comparison to control.

Double product of heart rate and blood pressure was not significantly different in treated and placebo groups.

Oral nitroglycerin consumption assessed during the titration phase was reduced by 71%.

It is concluded that transdermal nitroglycerin significantly increases exercise capacity in patients with stable angina, with an effect that is maintained over a 24-hour period using a single dose application.


The cytoplasmic matrix of the adrenal chromaffin cells of rats under normal and stressed conditions.

In embedment-free electron microscopy with polyethylene glycol embedding and subsequent deembedding, the conventional cytoplasm of the chromaffin cells was revealed to consist of a three-dimensional lattice of microtrabeculae and gives the impression that the chromaffin granules are held in place by the lattice.

After the restraint stress, a substantial number of chromaffin cells were almost free of granules, and the microtrabecular lattice was much more compact than that in cytoplasmic regions occupied with remaining granules or increased mitochondria.

In immunocytochemistry, actin immunofluorescence was confined to the subplasmalemmal regions, while tubulin and tropomyosin immunofluorescence appeared throughout the entire cytoplasm of normal chromaffin cells.

After the stress, the immunofluorescence for actin and tubulin increased in intensity, while that for tropomyosin decreased.

Immunogold labelings for actin and tubulin were found mainly on the thinner subplasmalemmal microtrabeculae and the thicker perikaryal ones, respectively, while some were deposited in the form of small aggregates on portions of microtrabeculae.

No specific association between the gold labelings for actin or tubulin and the chromaffin granules was found, even in the subplasmalemmal regions.

A hypothetical interpretation was proposed in which a more compact lattice of the microtrabeculae in spatial association with a looser lattice represents a gelated state of the cytoplasm.

The significance of the gel-sol transition of the cytoplasmic matrix in relation to the secretory mechanism was discussed.


Q:

Detecting overlapped paths in Android

I want to know if there is some way to detect if a currently drawn path touches/crosses an existing path.

The existing path is either drawn or part of background image.

It would also be helpful, if I am able to find this after the current path is completely drawn.

In worst scenario, can I do some pixel-by-pixel checking to see if two paths are touching?

A:

Use a path to define the line, then set a android.graphics.

Later check all regions against each other wether they intersect or not by
region1.op(region2, Op.

ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports

One of the questions that's been asked around the Saints in the early weeks of this season is whether quarterback Drew Brees' skills are diminishing at a concerning rate.

Defensive end Cam Jordan fielded that question during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show Tuesday.

Jordan laughed when asked if Brees had lost too much [more]

Is it possible that in the distant future, an organism that exists right now on Earth, will evolve to the point that it can be considered intelligent life? Which animal comes the closest?

Answer:
 > Is it possible that in the distant future, an organism that exists right now on Earth, will evolve to the point that it can be considered intelligent life?

Yes, it's possible, but by no means is it a sure thing.  Evolution doesn't have a goal in mind, nor does it have specific end points that are inherently better than others.  Evolution adapts to the environment, and what works works, what doesn't dies off.
 > Which animal comes the closest?

We have a difficult time defining intelligence *within our own species*.  The difficulty goes up astronomically when you look at other species.

Are you talking about technic intelligence?  It's unlikely anything in the ocean will ever develop technology (at least, as far as we can tell - without fire lots of tools are going to be difficult to make).

Social intelligence?  Well, insects seem to have a big advantage there... but they're probably a ways off on the tool front.

etc, etc, etc.

You see the difficulties?

Answer:
Evolution is not directed.

We can't answer this without speculation.


How much can you learn from someone's genome?

I've heard you can learn id someone by looking at their DNA, but what else can you learn if you know what to look for?

Answer:
Well this is fun, we literally just covered this kind of stuff in my advanced molecular biology course.

Your genome will contain variation depending on genetics that has been passed down from your parents.  You may be homozygous for 11 copies of a short-tandem repeat (STR, 2-3 'letters' repeated over and over again in the sequence) where I will be heterozygous for 13 and 8 copies. Your "DNA fingerprint" that the FBI uses involves these regions, when the areas that contain them are amplified by PCR, they show up as different lengths.

Furthermore, there are single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) where you may have an A where I have a C (or C-A or T-G or T-A...you get the point).  There are also "indels" - insersions or deletions relative to one genomre or another.  These can serve as markers for disease or other traits, especially if they occur in protein coding genes.  There are a very very large number of these variations, and I could predict (not even close to 100% certainty, though) some traits about you as well as heritable diseases you may carry.  The debate on nature/nurture is how certain could I be given your genotype?

[This database](_URL_0_) is called Online Mendellian Inheritance in Man and catalogs diseases/traits and contains a *wealth* of SNP and indel data about them.  Doing some mining, you can find tables like [these](_URL_1_) that will list all known variants for a gene and link to more information about them.  This example is the Von Willebrands Factor, mutations of which cause Von Willebrands Disease which is a mild bleeding disorder.  I don't know your background, but this site contains a lot of very technical information.

You may have heard of [23andMe](_URL_2_) which is a commercial service that will assay your genome for specific markers as well.

EDIT: If your family has submitted their genomes to a database as well, we could ID them as well


Why can a person safely receive platelets donated by anyone, but can only receive a particular type of whole blood?

Answer:
Platelets don't have antigens (the things antibodies recognize) on them. What might be a good way to remember this is that they're not made from red blood cells where the ABO blood group antigens are, they're shed from cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes.

That's not to say platelets are JUST floating bits of cytoplasm. They've got glycoproteins on the outside to recognize various signals that, if received, may then induce them to release granules filled with clotting factors.

But why don't people have antibodies to these glycoproteins? People have antibodies against certain glycoproteins on red blood cells, right? Yes, they do. However, basically EVERYONE has the same platelet glycoproteins. Developing an immune reaction against them would almost certainly mean death. Super bad thrombocytopenia (low platelets) AND what's basically a bad transfusion reaction, which can kill a person in minutes.

That being said, there are bleeding disorders where people lack some of these platelet factors (von Willebrand disease, for example). That's different from their bodies actively attacking any cell that has them, and they have problems with clotting and blood vessel damage, for the most part.


Why do the Russian scientists have to wait till December to study the water they took from Lake Vostok? (Lake under Antartica)

Answer: Vostok Station is one of the most [inhospitable places for humans to work](_URL_0_).  December is the Antarctic summer, so the weather will be better, temperatures warmer, and up to 24 hours of daylight.


Do different types of wood have different specific heats?

Answer: Wood in general is a very complicated material.  The specific heat of any particular piece of wood is going to be dominated by the amount of water in that wood.  So it can vary significantly not only from species to species but also within species according to what treatment, if any, the wood has undergone.


Can you transmit the flu through semen? What about sweat?

Got into an interesting discussion with the wife about whether she could get my flu from a little WHOOPEE.  Then I went to play hoops with friends and was wondering if my sweat could transmit it as well?

Answer: It is primarily an infection involving the upper respiratory tract. The virus is primarily shed through coughing/sneezing. The likelihood of semen or sweat containing the virus is low and unless those fluids are inhaled it wouldn't cause an infection.


Why is there so much Carbon-14 in these fossils?

I searched this sub for similar posts.  There were some close matches but nothing regarding fossils with such a high concentration of C14.

Here is the article: _URL_0_

This topic was discussed over in /r/DebateAChristian, and I was asked to pose this question to the experts.

Thanks in advance.

Answer: That's quite a lot to read over for so little potential gain. Could you be more specific?

Answer:
There's a lot of crap on that page.

First, carbon dating doesn't work for things like dinosaur fossils.  They're too old.

The number 22,380 has no reference next to it so I'm not sure which reference at the bottom they're referring to.

The premise of the article is that in 2005 a fossil was dated to 20-30k years.  None of their references seems to point to this event, nor does Google come up with anything that's not a blog or some anti-evolution web site.  Hugh Miller comes up a few times, he's apparently a creationist.

There's nothing on that page that can be responded to without vomiting.


As the needle approaches the centre of a record, its speed increases, right? Are the grooves cut differently towards the middle of a record to account for this?

Is it magic or is it science?

Edit: [6], in case you were wondering

Answer: The grooves aren't intentionally cut differently, but the wavelength representation is longer near the edge compared to the center because the speed of the track increases from the center to the edge. Since the grooves are cut directly into the recording material, no external adjustment is necessary, since it's always going to be a 1 to 1 correspondence when played back at the same speed it was cut.

Answer:
Early floppy-drive computers included some models which varied the speed of the disc drive, as the head moved across the radial distance. This is constant linear velocity, as opposed to constant angular velocity.

LP cutting heads are often linear track. The cutting needle is on a screwshaft. LP reading heads are typically designed to pivot. Audiophiles used to argue if this mattered, if the parallelogram of forces on the needle didn't accurately track what was cut. Some LP players therefore had linear drive reader heads, but not all golden ears agree they sound better.

Answer:
 >  As the needle approaches the centre of a record, its speed increases, right?

Incorrect.

The record always spins at, say, 33-1/3 rpm. The diameter of a standard LP is 30 cm, so when the needle is at the outer edge, it passes along about 90 cm of groove for each revolution, or about 52 cm per second. If the diameter of the label is about 10 cm, then when the needle gets in to the center, it passes along only about 30 cm per revolution, or 17 cm per second.


In a chemical reaction, if the product has a lower energy than the reactant, why doesn't all reactant convert to product?

If there is a reaction: A-- > B and B is more stable or has a lower energy than A, then the equilibrium position will typically be more B than A. But, why doesn't all A convert to B if B has lower energy?

Answer: Reactions have an [activation energy](_URL_0_) associated that acts as a barrier from all reactants rapidly and spontaneously turning into products. That is, there requires some extra energy put into the reaction before it can proceed. Commonly this is heat energy - hence reactions occurring faster at higher temperatures.


Why is there such a thing as "critical mass" for a radioactive material? Why couldn't the chain reaction sustain itself with less mass than the critical amount? How is this mass calculated?

Answer:
The reason for the chain reaction in the first place, is a chance for a neutron emitted by an atom to hit another atom. This event in turn emits even more neutrons. If those manage to hit an atom, the chain will continue.

Critical mass ensures that emitted neutrons do not just miss everything and fly away, but they keep hitting more atoms (because there are enough atoms around). This gives you a sustainable chain reaction.

There is no simple formula for calculating the exact value of the critical mass. It depends on cross section of the material, energy of emitted neutrons, presence of neutron reflecting shield around the material etc. Figuring out the critical mass value for a particular material is basically what physicists get paid for.

Answer:
Fission results in the release of 2 to 3 free neutrons. To sustain a critical chain reaction, on average, one of these neutrons should be captured by a fissile nucleus and cause it to fission.

So what you need to understand is the parameters that affect how likely it is for a free neutron to be captured in this way.

One important parameter is the shape of the material.  If a neutron escapes the material it is lost from the system and doesn't contribute to the chain reaction. This is called leakage.  A sphere is the most efficient shape as it has the smallest surface area from which leakage will occur for a given volume.  We also want to maximise the density of the material as this will also minimise the surface area for a given mass.

The larger the mass of the sphere the less likely it is a neutron will escape i.e. a neutron will on average have to pass by more fissile nuclei before it can escape the edge of the sphere.  For each pure fissile material of full density in a vacuum there is an ideal spherical mass where a just critical chain reaction will occur.  Any less material and there will be too much leakage and the system will be subcritical.

This critical mass can be reduced by adding a reflector around the fissile material.  Beryllium is an excellent reflector, as it has a high neutron scatter cross section and a low neutron capture cross section (I'll come back to these terms in a bit).  By adding a thick shell of beryllium around our spherical critical mass we minimise leakage and thus reduce our critical mass.

The next thing to understand is how neutron capture or scatter cross sections vary with neutron energy.  Cross sections are measured in barns, a unit of area.  The bigger the cross section, the more likely it is that a neutron will be absorbed or scattered when its comes into proximity with a nucleus. After a fission the free neutrons are "fast" and have an energy in the MeV range.  By slowing down neutrons to a "thermal" energy in the eV range the cross sections increase significantly and neutrons can more easily captured.  So if we reduce the average neutron energy then we need on average fewer interactions between a neutron and fissile nuclei before a capture occurs.  In which case the volume needed for a chain reaction reduces further.  Slowing down neutrons is achieved by including a "moderator".  This is a material with a low atomic mass which reduces the energy of a neutron by elastically scattering it.  This is analogous to a pool ball being slowed down by multiple collisions with other balls by transferring some of its energy to them.  The best moderator is one with a similar mass to a neutron as momentum transfer is most efficient at equal mass.  A secondary factor is that the moderator should not capture too many neutrons.  Hydrogen-1 is by far the most effective moderator.  The next best, deuterium, is much less efficient at absorbing momentum energy.   Again we want to minimise the size of our sphere so we want a material with a high hydrogen density.  Water has a good hydrogen density, but polythene is even better.

Side note: Moderation also has a secondary benefit in that thermal fission produces slightly more neutrons per fission than fast fission on average.  This further improves our balance of neutrons available for the chain reaction.

The next point to make is that a nucleus can absorb a neutron without contributing to fission.  This is called parasitic absorption.  This can happen with the fissile nuclei itself, which is unavoidable, with the moderator and the reflector and also with any impurities that may be present.  To minimise this we want to exclude any impurities and to use just enough moderator mixed in a ideal way with the fissile material (a homogeneous mix for high enriched uranium and plutonium or a lattice for very low enriched uranium).

Taking all of that into account we can now design our system with a minimum critical mass.  Most minimum critical masses reported will be for pure u-233, u-235, pu-239 and pu-241 mixed homogeneously at maximum density with an ideal concentration of polythene, surrounded by beryllium.

The differences between the masses for each fissile isotope are due to there different capture-fission and capture-parasitic absorption cross sections and the differences in the average number of free neutrons produced per fission.

Technically there are some ways we could produce an even smaller minimum critical mass.  In theory beryllium hydride is an even better moderator than polythene and could result in a critical mass of as little as 87 grams for pu-239.   Additionally some of the higher transuranics are also fissile and have very very small minimum critical masses (a few grams, maybe less).  Both of these cases are a bit academic and not really relevant in industrial settings (e.g. Where want want to know the minimum critical mass for safety control purposes).

Edit: How is it calculated? These days we use computer software to very accurately model a system.  The most accurate tools are Monte Carlo models that individually model the fate of many postulated neutrons until the statistical error is negligible.  These models are validated against a library of test data.  The better validated the data, the more accurate the model.  There are analytical approaches that can be used, with formulas to estimate the effects of geometry, moderation, etc (try googling geometric and material buckling as an example).  These are rarely used outside of a classroom as the software models are more effective and widely available.

I'm not saying I don't like the idea of on-the-job training too, but you can't expect the company to do that. Training workers is not their job - they're building software.

You can never use a health FSA for individual health insurance premiums.  Moreover, FSA plan sponsors can limit what they are will to reimburse.  While you can't use a health FSA for premiums, you could previously use a 125 cafeteria plan to pay premiums, but it had to be a separate election from the health FSA. However, under N. 2013-54, even using a cafeteria plan to pay for indivdiual premiums is effectively prohibited.

Futures contracts are a member of a larger class of financial assets called derivatives. Derivatives are called such because their payoffs depend on the price of other assets (financial or real). Other kinds of derivatives are call options, put options. Fixed income assets that mimic the behavior of derivatives are callable bonds, puttable bonds etc.  A futures contract is a contract that specifies the following: Just like with any other contract, there are two parties involved. One party commits to delivering the underlying asset to the other party on expiration date in exchange for the futures price. The other party commits to paying the futures price in exchange for the asset. There is no price that any of the two parties pay upfront to engage in the contract. The language used is so that the agent committing to receiving the delivery of the underlying asset is said to have bought the contract. The agent that commits to make the delivery is said to have sold the contract.  So answer your question, buying on June 1 a futures contract at the futures price of $100, with a maturity date on August 1 means you commit to paying $100 for the underlying asset on August 1. You don't have to pay anything upfront. Futures price is simply what the contract prescribes the underlying asset will exchange hands for.

Whenever you pay or withdraw some fund from your account, paypal takes approx 3% of the current currency value along with the fees. i.e. If you are paying/withdraw 100 unit of US Dollars to British pounds and if the current convertion rate is 1$=0.82GBP, then consider reducing 3% of the actual currency rate. So, the approximate magnitude will be 0.82*97% (100-3=97) = 0.7954. So, 1$=0.7954GBP. This formula will not give you 100% accurate value but will help of course. Captain

Q:

How can I uniquely identify which device is on USB `hub 6-0:1.0: port 2`?

How can I uniquely identify which device is on USB hub 6-0:1.0: port 2?

I receive messages in my dmesg every now and then and I want the system to tell me which device is connected to that port.

EDIT: OK, I can figure out which hub it is, but how can I figure out which device is on port 2 (out of four).

udevadm info -q all -p /sys/bus/usb/devices/6-0:1.0
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6/6-0:1.0

E: PRODUCT=1d6b/1/302
E: SUBSYSTEM=usb
E: TYPE=9/0/0
E: UDEV_LOG=3

A:

I don't know of any utility that can give you this information directly, but you can get it by using a few different utilities.

Shortest route:
udevadm info -q all -p /sys/bus/usb/devices/6-0:1.0

This will give you output of which one of the lines will look like the following (obviously this output won't match your system):
E: DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/006/053

Then run lsusb and look for the device at Bus 006 Device 053 (from the 006/053 in the above line), this will be your device.

For more info, you can poke around in that /sys/bus/usb/devices/6-0:1.0 if you want.

You can also change the udevadm command to udevadm info -a -p ... instead which will walk up the udev tree.

[Aneurysms and dissections of the thoracal and abdominal aorta].

One to four per cent of all deaths in patients over 65 are caused by aneurysmatic diseases of the abdominal or thoracic aorta.

For elective surgery in abdominal aneurysms, open surgery and endovascular treatment both demonstrate brilliant overall results.

In the thoracic aorta, new endovascular procedures have led to considerable reductions of postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Nevertheless, in view of the endovascular procedure's high cost and the still unclear long-term behaviour of the stent device, a second opinion from a specialised centre is an absolute necessity.


Hyperkalemia is estimated to occur in 21% of hospitalized patients.

However, the mechanism for eliminating high quantities of K during low Na intake is not known.

Conventionally, it was thought to occur by direct exchange of K for Na in principal cells of the distal nephron, but when plasma [K] is high with little Na intake, K secretion must be uncoupled from Na reabsorption.

Without an understanding of the K channels that mediate this process, better therapies for victims with acutely elevated plasma [K] cannot be developed.

Our long-term goal is to understand the role of specific renal ion channels to eliminate K. Our focus is the large, Ca-activated K channels (BK) in the distal nephron that contain the accessory BK-b4 (BK-a/b4) in base-secreting (IC-b) and acid-secreting (IC-a) intercalated cells.

The objective here, which is a critical step toward our long-goal, is to examine the role of BK-a/b4 in secreting K under high K conditions.

We reported that when BK-b4 knock-out mice (b4-KO) are placed on a high K diet for 7-10 days (K adapted;KA), they exhibit increased plasma [K] and a 40% reduction in the capacity to eliminate K compare to wild type.

Furthermore, high flow associated with a high K diet activates BK-a/b4, causing a release of K and cell size reduction.

Thus, BK-a/b4 play a major role in how the kidney handles a high K diet;however, the mechanism by which BK-a/b4 function in this capacity is not well understood.

The central hypothesis is that the elevated aldosterone of KA mice enhances K secretion by a Na-independent mechanism that utilizes K secretion by BK-a/b4 in the IC-b and K recycling by BK-a/b4 in the IC-a of the outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD).

This hypothesis will be tested by pursuing three specific aims: 1.

Determine whether aldosterone or high plasma K enhances BK-a/b4-mediated K secretion in KA mice.

Determine the role of BK-a/b4 in Na-independent K secretion.

Determine the roles of BK-a/b4 and KCC4 in the OMCD K recycling and flow enhancement.

For these studies, we will employ methods including renal clearance measurements, patch clamping and immunohistochemical analysis of WT and b4-KO mice.

The approach is innovative because we test a new model of Na-independent K secretion while isolating each potential mechanism.

The proposed research is significant because it is expected to answer some long- standing questions regarding the mechanism for eliminating high quantities of K during very small amounts of Na intake.

Such understanding may help prevent the large number of deaths occurring each year from treating heart failure subjects with aldosterone receptor blockers that lead to hyperkalemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias.

PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Many elderly and heart failure patients suffer fatal heart attacks because of medications that increase the potassium in the blood.

These proposed studies are designed to determine how a recently discovered protein in kidney cells, called a BK-a/b4 channel, eliminates the potassium when blood potassium is elevated.

The proposed research is relevant to the mission of the NIH to develop fundamental knowledge that will help to design strategies to intervene in high blood potassium-induced abnormalities in heart function.


VF2 and fork travel issues..

Hey there,

Firstly I'd like to say I've completely fallen in love with the VF2.

Saw one at the lbs and the finish, detail, engineering is freaking awesome.

I know the VF2 is designed for forks between 120 - 150mm, however I've got a RS reba lying around in my garage that I'd like to use with this frame.

I think (i hope) I am able to tweak travel on the reba and bump it up to 115.

Now my question is, will this 5mm deficit in suggested fork travel signifantly and adversely affect performance of this baby?

Also, what would the resultant head angle be if I used such a fork ?

And how would that also affect the rear shock ?

What kind of handling can I expect if i went ahead and built it up as such ?

Yeah before anyone thinks i'm a nut for obsessing over a miniscule 5mm discrepency in fork travel, let me clarify matters yeah.

I know 5mm is probably a very small number, but instead of assuming, I just wanted to get some clarification ?

I'm no engineer, and I hated math and physics, so i figured I'd let someone else better qualified than me make the decision.

Also, my other queries about ride handling, and shock performance and blah blah blah, are based on the assumption that a 115mm fork is more or less equivalent to a 120mm fork.

Since most of the reviews, and even the frame geometry posted on chumba's website was based on a 140mm fork, I wanted to know what fitting a 120mm fork would do to the VF2 and what can i expect from it ?

With a shorter fork I think you could expect a steeper head angle and shorter wheelbase.

That would translate into a very agile handler but at the tradeoff of some loss of stability at speed, twitchiness, and a more weight forward bias to the ride.

In essence, I think it'd be more XC Race and less trail bike.

This is my estimation and subject to validation by the Chumba guys or other internet know-it-alls.

Basically what Scruffy said - you would experience a steepened head angle, slightly lower BB, and shorter wheelbase - more XC oriented - if that's what your going after.

The VF2 is pretty versatile - and works well even with a Fox 36 - so it's really personal preference - and you can always try out different forks if you are not satisfied with your initial choice.

Anyone knows or can calculate the wheebase, seat tube angle and head angle should i fit on a 120mm fork ?

You can build it with a Fox Talas 32 - with the right components it can be as light as 25lbs.


Q:

Python for .NET compilation for .NET3.5 and Python3.x

Recently I've been working on a project which needs to use a .NET 3.5 Dll library, and the team is using Python3.x environment.

So I went to the Python for .NET's github repo and downloaded the source code and tried compiling myself using Visual Studio 2013.

In the source, there is a MVSC solution file named pythonnet, and I just opened the project and tried compiling Python.

By default, the Conditional compilation symbols is PYTHON27, UCS4.

So I changed it to PYTHON35, UCS2 to match my requirement.

And I was able to compile it successfully.

But since it needs to work with .NET Framework 3.5, then I changed Target Framework from .NET Framework 4.0 to .NET Framework 3.5.

But this time I got a lot of errors when compiling and the compilation failed.

Could anyone please help me with the compilation so that I can compile the Python for .NET which works for both .NET 3.5 and Python3.x?

A:

Latest pythonnet is using HashSet from CLR 4.0 and also dynamic from DLR which cannot be easily backported to older .NET versions.

What you can do is redirect your other DLLs from .NET 3.5 to CLR 4.0 using app.config:
<?

>
<configuration>
    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
    </startup>
</configuration>
