OCTOBER SKY A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: In Coalwood, West Virginia, 1957 a boy uses model rocketry to escape the fate of a career digging coal. With the inspiration of one high school teacher and the drive to follow his curiosity and vision, he resists all the pressures of the town, and especially his own father, to work for a dying mining company. While parts of the story seem contrived, this is a true story. It is based on a book by the main character is riveting. Rating: 8 (0 to 10), low +3 (-4 to +4)
It is October 1957 in Coalwood, West Virginia and there are virtually two different worlds--worlds that never touch each other. One world is the town's coal mine. The Olga Mining Company runs that and it is the town. Most boys know from an early age that when they get old enough they will go down in the mine to work. The other world is what they read about in the papers. It is where amazingly the Soviets just put a satellite called Sputnik in orbit around the whole planet. And for nearly the first time the two worlds touch. There right over Coalwood is a light shooting across the sky. Homer Hickam, Jr. (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) sees the satellite go overhead, and nothing will ever be the same for him.
This is the story of the four boys who dedicate themselves to building and launching their own rockets. Naming the rockets Auks after flightless birds they soon find that launching rockets not only can be the ticket to get them out of town, it really has to get them out of town. The town is owned by Olga and they are not allowed to fly rockets from Olga's property. Instead they find a slate hilltop eight miles from town and set it up as their launching base. They begin to get the materials and money they need by any means, fair or foul. This includes stealing spikes from abandoned railroad tracks and selling them. But there is tremendous resistance in the town to doing anything as strange as building rockets and they come into conflict with the school, with the police, but most of all Homer Jr. comes in conflict with his father, Homer, Sr., superintendent of the Olga mine. [Note: to avoid confusion, Homer, Sr.'s name is changed to John in the screenplay.]
"John" is played by Chris Cooper in an ironic piece of casting. Cooper is most familiar for his role as the coal mine union organizer in MATEWAN. In this film he is cursing that same union. But the conflict between Homer and his father forms the dramatic core of the film. It is in the love-hate relationship between Homer and his father that the film gets its strongest resonance. Homer's relationship with an inspiring teacher, Miss Riley (Laura Dern), while also strong, falls into more familiar territory.
OCTOBER SKY is directed by Joe Johnston who directed THE ROCKETEER and JUMANJI. The screenplay is by Louis Colick, based on the book ROCKET BOYS by Homer Hickam, Jr. Hickam claims to be pleased with the adaptation of his book and even points out that the two titles are anagrams. For acting credit, the honors go mostly to Chris Cooper as Homer's father. Laura Dern and Jake Gyllenhaal are just a little too good-looking for their roles as films of the original people demonstrate at the end the film. However, Coalwood, filmed in a Tennessee coal town really does capture the look of West Virginia in the 50s. [I say this as someone lived in West Virginia for a while in the 1950s. Okay, I was very young, but I still remember the look of coal country.]
OCTOBER SKY is a powerful look at a young man's drives to become a scientist. It is also a moving portrait of a father-son relationship. I rate the film an 8 on the 0 to 10 scale and a low +3 on the -4 to +4 scale.
MINOR SPOILER: There are some odd touches that should have been cleared up in the script with some explanation. Why did the boys never look at the object the police were holding until AFTER they proved it was not theirs? For that matter why did the police never notice that the object they were holding was professionally built and not made by amateurs. Also were both younger and older brother high school seniors in the same year, as they seemed to be? This seems possible, but unlikely.

We have the following code to show a log in the console after 1000 ms / 1 sec.
var check = false;
var timeStart = new Date().getTime();
setTimeout( function () {
check = true;
}, 1000 );
while( !check ){
}
console.log( 'Loop has finished', 'Elapsed time:' + (new Date().getTime() - timeStart) );
But for some weird reason it doesn’t works as expected and blocks the browser, could you help us?

CSPICE_ILLUM calculates the illumination angles at a specified
surface point of a target body.
Deprecated: This routine has been superseded by the routine
cspice_ilumin. This routine is supported for purposes of
backward compatibility only.
Given:
target the name of the target body. Optionally, you may supply
a string containing the integer ID code for the object.
For example both 'MOON' and '301' are legitimate strings
that indicate the moon is the target body.
[1,c1] = size(target); char = class(target)
or
[1,1] = size(target); cell = class(target)
The target and observer define a state vector whose
position component points from the observer to the target.
Case and leading or trailing blanks are not significant
in the string 'target'.
et the ephemeris time(s) at which to compute the
apparent illumination angles at the specified surface
point on the target body, as seen from the observing
body.
[1,n] = size(et); double = class(et)
abcorr describes the aberration corrections to apply to the state
evaluations to account for one-way light time and stellar
aberration.
[1,c2] = size(abcorr); char = class(abcorr)
or
[1,1] = size(abcorr); cell = class(abcorr)
This routine accepts the same aberration corrections as does
the routine spkezr_c. See the header of spkezr_c for a
detailed description of the aberration correction options.
For convenience, the options are listed below:
'NONE' Apply no correction.
'LT' "Reception" case: correct for
one-way light time using a Newtonian
formulation.
'LT+S' "Reception" case: correct for
one-way light time and stellar
aberration using a Newtonian
formulation.
'CN' "Reception" case: converged
Newtonian light time correction.
'CN+S' "Reception" case: converged
Newtonian light time and stellar
aberration corrections.
'XLT' "Transmission" case: correct for
one-way light time using a Newtonian
formulation.
'XLT+S' "Transmission" case: correct for
one-way light time and stellar
aberration using a Newtonian
formulation.
'XCN' "Transmission" case: converged
Newtonian light time correction.
'XCN+S' "Transmission" case: converged
Newtonian light time and stellar
aberration corrections.
The 'abcorr' string lacks sensitivity to case, and to embedded,
leading and trailing blanks.
obsrvr the name of the observing body, typically a spacecraft,
the earth, or a surface point on the earth. Optionally,
you may supply a string containing the integer ID code for
the object. For example both "EARTH" and "399" are legitimate
strings that indicate the earth is the observer.
[1,c3] = size(obsrvr); char = class(obsrvr)
or
[1,1] = size(obsrvr); cell = class(obsrvr)
Case and leading or trailing blanks are not significant
in the string 'obsrvr'.
spoint an array representing a surface point or points on the target
body, expressed in rectangular body-fixed (body equator and
prime meridian) coordinates. Each 'spoint' element
(spoint(:,i)) corresponds to the same element index in 'et'
(et(i)) and need not be visible from the observer's location
at time 'et'.
[3,n] = size(spoint); double = class(spoint)
Note: The design of cspice_illum supposes the input 'spoint'
originates as the output of another Mice routine. Still, in
the event the user requires an 'spoint' constant over a vector
of 'et', such as a constant station location at (x,y,z),
construct 'spoint' with the MATLAB code:
N = numel(et);
spoint = eye(3, N);
spoint(1,:) = x;
spoint(2,:) = y;
spoint(3,:) = z;
the call:
[phase, solar, emissn] = cspice_illum( target, et, abcorr, ...
obsrvr, spoint)
returns:
phase the values(s) of phase angle at 'spoint', as seen from
'obsrvr' at time 'et'. This is the angle between the
'spoint'-'obsrvr' vector and the 'spoint'-sun vector.
Units are radians. The range of 'phase' is [0, pi].
[1,n] = size(phase); double = class(phase)
solar the values(s) of incidence angle at `spoint', as seen
from 'obsrvr' at time 'et'. This is the angle between
the surface normal vector at 'spoint' and the
'spoint'-sun vector. Units are radians. The range of
'solar' is [0, pi].
[1,n] = size(solar); double = class(solar)
emissn the values(s) of the emission angle at 'spoint', as seen
from 'obsrvr' at time 'et'. This is the angle between
the surface normal vector at 'spoint' and the
'spoint'-observer vector. Units are radians. The range
of 'emissn' is [0, pi].
[1,n] = size(emissn); double = class(emissn)
'phase', 'solar', 'emissn' return with the same
vectorization measure, N, as 'et'.
Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

'I did the best I could for him,' says duty cop after Bala stabbing
Considerable force was used in the stabbing, says Home Office pathologist
by Alan WestonAn on-duty police officer described the last moments of murder victim Bala Lloyd-Evans, saying "I did the best I could for him."
PC Philip Parkinson was giving evidence on the fourth day of the trial of two men charged with the murder of Mr Lloyd-Evans, 33, who was stabbed in the heart while out celebrating Liverpool's Champions League win in the early hours of June 2.
Stepbrothers Ramal Edwards, 19, of Emerson Street, Toxteth, and Kieran Perry, 25, of Wendell Street, Toxteth, both deny the murder.
PC Parkinson told Liverpool Crown Court he was on patrol in the early hours of June 2 when he came upon a fight which had erupted in Back Colquitt Street.
Under questioning from David McLachlan, QC, prosecuting, PC Parkinson said the fight had "calmed down" but then flared up again.
He added: "I could see punches being thrown, but I didn't know who by. I didn't see any weapons."
PC Parkinson said a man in a white top had started to run away, leaving another man on the ground. There was a large laceration across Bala’s chest and a lot of blood.
The officer said: "I did the best I could for him."
A crime scene was put in place and people moved out of the area.
Dr Alison Armour, a Home Office pathologist, carried out a post-mortem examination on the body of Bala Lloyd-Evans.
She said he was 5ft 7ins in height and was "of muscular build," weighing around 15 stone.
Dr Armour said there were two significant injuries to the central chest area.
The first was a stab wound which was 5.6cm in length to the central chest area which was directly in line with the nipples.
This was the stab wound that caused Bala Lloyd-Evans' death.
In addition, there was an incised wound, which was 12.2cm in length to the left side of the chest. It did not enter the chest cavity.
Dr Armour explained in detail the path that the knife took as it entered Lloyd-Evans' body, completely severing two ribs.
She estimated the depth of this wound to be up to 14cm, and that it would have required "considerable force" to inflict.
The single stab wound to the chest penetrated the heart, causing catastrophic blood loss.
Edwards has not disputed that he held the knife that caused the death of Mr Lloyd-Evans.
He was chased by police officers before he was arrested, during which time he discarded the knife - a folding lock-knife with a single cutting edge.
The knife was recovered from a location on Cornwallis Street, within the grounds of the Liverpool Workshops for the Outdoor Blind building.
The knife, along with articles of Edwards' clothing, was forensically examined - within the back left pocket of Edwards’ jeans was contact blood staining from Mr Lloyd Evans’ blood.
(Proceeding)


I am wondering if anyone has a different take or hybrid on: The War Wizard (Wizard 35 / Rogue 3 / Fighter 2 by grizzled_dwarflord or Punchy the Lich (Wizard 29/ Palemaster 10/ Monk 1)by jjjhhhlll or Weave Warrior (Bard 1/Fighter 13/Wizard 26) by Mithdradates?
I want to cast, hoever am looking for something a bit more melee orientated (perhaps Wiz 31/Rog 3/Ftr 6),as I have no need for all the crafting skills.
Basically, I want the best possible caster with maxed tumble and a decent AB.
That's not asking for much, is it?
 Note Kail's build takes 4 Rogue and 4 FTR by level 20.
This means your spellcasting is delayed, but you can certainly still build something effective.
Something you might want to consider is a build that uses Cleric to get Divine Power. Something like my Eldritch Crusader build. (Warning: this build can be pretty rough going from levels 10 through 22 or so). _________________ It's rogue, dammit, ROGUE!!!
Thanks for the feedback. I rolled some dice & came up with this: The Master Spellsword Needs some TLC though.

As the saying goes, 'Safety is our No. 1 priority.' This is a compulsory program for SP students to be trained and safety certified before allowing access and work in workshops, Fablabs or studio with fabricating facilities. The objectives are
Here are some equipments and tools introduced to us in the first few lessons. I was amazed at how diverse on the types of equipments used, the school probably spend a ton too.
Contains wrench, screwdrivers, claw Hammer
6 Piece is a kit containing six cordless power tools
HCM-2S
Foam cutting machine
ABM-500S
Plastic bending machine
Here are some digital fabrication equipments and tools introduced to us in the first few lessons. One of the criteria for the final project was to make use of 3D printing, laser cutting and aruduino for our product.
Creates three-dimensional components from CAD models. It mimics the biological process, adding material layer by layer to create a physical part. With 3D printing, you can produce functional shapes, all while using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
Epilog Fusion M2 Laser Series
Mostly cuts wood and can create parts like puzzles to be fixed together
HCM-2S
For manufacturing of small scale parts
Brother PR-1050X Sewing Machine
An Innovative 10-Needle Home and Small Business Embroidery Machine
Here are all the softwares that I used for this elective, and some reasons to justify my choices.
I'm using Sublime Test 3 as my text editor as my lecturer is using, it is simple and straightforward to use
I'm using Illustrator as my vector editor as my course requires us to use it
I'm using Photoshop as my graphics editor as my course requires us to use it
I'm using Pickpic as my screen capture and image resizer as it is efficient to take a screenshot and crop it.
I'm using Fusion 360 as my CAD software as it is a Pro CAD software on top of a 3 year Education License provided.
I'm using Chrome as my default browser as it has high speed navigations, and can sync across many devices and Google accounts.
GitHub, Inc. is a provider of Internet hosting for software development and version control using Git. We use it to manage our repositories and version control.
We use Cura to prepare 3D prints, its slicing feature allows us to check how the machine is going to 3d print in layers. It is integrated with CAD software for an easier workflow, and also has custom settings for in-depth control.
LibreCAD is a free computer-aided design application for 2D design. It uses the AutoCAD DXF file format internally for import and save files, and I use it to lay my CAD drawings out and save it in .dxf file before laser cutting them.
The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to our Arduino Uno board. This software also can be used with any Arduino board.


Installation¶
Linux¶
The package is available on GitHub and can be downloaded from https://github.com/JohnKendrick/PDielec. cd to a directory where PDielec will be installed and use git to clone a copy of the program. I use a ‘Software/’ directory in my home directory to store programs, so for me the commands to obtain PDielec would look like this.:
cd ~/Software
git clone https://github.com/JohnKendrick/PDielec.git
This will create a directory ~/Software/PDielec. To make the program generally available to the user;:
cd ~/Software/PDielec
make install
This copies the commands and modules to the ~/bin directory which should be included in your PATH environment variable.:
export PATH=~/bin;$PATH
Anaconda¶
Anaconda is a Python package manager and is useful when trying out different versions of Python as there is a very convenient environment manager. Anaconda can be installed as a user program and so root access to the computer is not needed. The software can be downloaded from https://conda.io/miniconda.html or https://www.anaconda.com/download/. Unless you are interested in the full package the miniconda installation should be sufficient for installing the rest of the modules needed for the PDielec installation.
As an example here is an installation using a Python 2.7 environment. Using ‘pip install’ means that the anaconda build system is bypassed.ld system in Anaconda normally makes sure only compatible software versions are installed, but this seems to cause problems in this case.
conda create --name pdielec2 python=2
conda install --name pdielec2 scipy
source activate pdielec2
pip install matplotlib
pip install termcolor
pip install xlsxwriter

Here is an example of creating a Python 3 environment in Anaconda:
conda create --name pdielec3 python=3
conda install --name pdielec3 -c conda-forge scipy
source activate pdielec3
pip install matplotlib
pip install termcolor
pip install xlsxwriter
pip install openpyxl
pip install pyyaml
pip install imageio
Pip (only needed if not using Anaconda)¶
If you are working in an environment with Python already installed then it is possible to use pip to add the additional modules that are needed. If the user does not have administrator rights on the machine then the use of pip install –user will install the python modules in a user’s directory. If the user does have administrator rights and wants to install the packages for all users then the ‘–user’ option can be omitted.:
pip install --user numpy
pip install --user scipy
pip install --user matplotlib
pip install --user PyYaml
pip install --user XlsxWriter
pip install --user openpyxl
pip install --user termcolor
pip install imageio
Windows¶
Standalone installation¶
A Windows 10 installation script is available on the GitHub at https://github.com/JohnKendrick/PDielec/releases . Releases after version 4.0 have a Windows installable script which installs all the software required to run PDielec, PDGui and PReader. The installation includes Python 3, and all the modules that are required. The downloadable executable is very large so be be patient. The imagio library uses ffmpeg to create videos. ffmpeg is not distributed with the installation script. Instead, when creating a video of the phonon motion, PDGui checks for the availability of ffmpeg. If it is not present then it is downloaded automatically.
Installation from repository¶
This Windows installation is only needed if the standalone version is found to be too cumbersome. A Windows 10 installation from the git repository which works for users without administrator rights involves a few steps but gives an installation which can run all the test cases. In the following instructions replace ‘yourusername’ with your user name.
Install git¶
First of all install a Windows version of git from www.git-scm.com. A 64 bit version of Windows 10 will be assumed for the following instructions.
- From the download page download and run the 64 bit Git for Windows setup.
- During the installation install the Quick Launch and Desktop icons as these make using the program easier.
- If you are not familar with the vi or vim editor, it is probably best to use the Nano editor, although if you wish you can install Notepad++ and use that as the default editor.
- In the section concerning the PATH environment I would recommend the last option “Use git and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command prompt”. This option will mean that some Windows commands eg. find and sort will be replace by the Unix commands.
- Leave the https certificate choice as the default, namely the OpenSSL library.
- Line endings are best left to the default setting of Windows-style for checkout and Unix-style for check-in.
- The Console I use is the MinTTY console it has a larger scrolling buffer than the Windows console.
- Under the “Configuring extra options” I leave everything as the default.
I have seen a few hickups in the installation of Git. Occasionally I have to do the installation twice and occasionally I am left with the Setup Installing window indicating that I should wait, when in fact the installation has completed. When this happens I kill the setup process with the task manager
Install make¶
Once you have Git installed open the “Git bash” shell and create the following directories in your home directory;:
mkdir bin
mkdir Software
From the web url http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=make download the 64-bit version of make.exe and copy it into your bin/ directory. You should find this directory in c:usersyourusernamebin in the file manager.
Anaconda¶
Anaconda is a Python package manager and is useful when trying out different versions of Python as there is a very convenient environment manager. Anaconda can be installed as a user program and so root access to the computer is not needed. The software can be downloaded from https://conda.io/miniconda.html or https://www.anaconda.com/download/. Unless you are interested in the full package the miniconda installation should be sufficient for installing the rest of the modules needed for the PDielec installation.
As an example here is an installation using a Python 2.7 environment. Using ‘pip install’ means that the anaconda build system is bypassed.ld system in Anaconda normally makes sure only compatible software versions are installed, but this seems to cause problems in this case.
conda create --name pdielec2 python=2
conda install --name pdielec2 scipy
source activate pdielec2
pip install matplotlib
pip install termcolor
pip install xlsxwriter
pip install openpyxl
pip install pyyaml
pip install imageio
Here is an example of creating a Python 3 environment in Anaconda:
conda create --name pdielec3 python=3
conda install --name pdielec3 -c conda-forge scipy
source activate pdielec3
pip install matplotlib
pip install termcolor
pip install xlsxwriter
pip install openpyxl
pip install pyyaml
pip install imageio
Install Python (only needed if not using anaconda)¶
- From https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ download and run the Windows x86-64 executable installer for the latest Python 3.6 version
- Uncheck install launcher for all users
- Check “Add Python 3.6 to PATH”
- Click on “Install now” button
- Check installation ran OK by running the Idle python environment
Open a git bash console and type;:
pip install numpy
pip install scipy
pip install matplotlib
pip install PyYaml
pip install XlsxWriter
pip install openpyxl
pip install termcolor
pip install imageio
Install PDielec¶
Open a git bash console and type;:
cd Software
git clone -c core.symlinks=true https://github.com/JohnKendrick/PDielec.git
This should create a directory in Software called PDielec. The “-c core.symlinks=true” means that the commands; pdielec, pdgui and preader are treated as windows symlinks to their equivalent .py file.
Testing PDielec¶
Open a git bash console. If you have installed Python using anaconda then you need to ‘source activate’ the environment you have established before typing;:
cd Software/PDielec
make test_preader
make test_pdgui
Installing PDielec to run in any git bash console¶
Open a git bash console and type;:
cd Software/PDielec
export SCRIPTS=~/bin
make install
Updating PDielec from the git repository¶
Open a git bash console and type;:
cd Software/PDielec
git pull
PDielec directory structure¶
- PDielec/ is the home directory and contains the pdielec and preader commands
- PDielec/Python holds the source for the modules used by the pdielec and preader commands
- PDielec/Python/PyMieScatt holds a customised version of the PyMieScatt code downloaded from https://github.com/bsumlin/PyMieScatt. Thanks to Benjamin Sumlin for making this available
- PDielec/Python/GUI holds the python code for PDGui
- PDielec/Examples a set of examples are available for Abinit, Crystal14, CASTEP, GULP, Phonopy, Mie and VASP. Each example directory holds the input files to the QM/MM program and the relevant output files which are post processed by PDielec. For each program there is also a preader directory which holds test output for the preader command.
- PDielec/Sphinx holds the documentation as restructured text documents (.rst). Sphinx can be used to build the documentation in either html or pdf format.
- PDielec/docs holds the final html documentation.
Examples¶
Each example directory has the relevant input data sets use to run the QM/MM program and the output files from that run which are post-processed by PDielec. There is a file script.py which contains an of PDGui usage line and which has been used to create the reference output file results.ref.xlsx. The example can be run interactively:
make pdgui-view
The output can be compared with the reference data to see if the program is working correctly.
The main Examples/ directory also has a Makefile file which can be used to verify the correct working of the package. Simply by typing make in the Examples directory each example will be run automatically and the output compared with the reference files. To remove the intermediate files after running the tests automatically, type make clean.

Isla Matanceros is the first island operation in Las Cinco Muertes archipelago. It's a sunny and inviting island with some key infrastructure in place. The weather is quite clement with some light rain.
Isla Muerta offers a greater challenge than the starting island. While it can enjoy pleasant sunsets it is often ravaged by storms. Some areas can only be accessed via Monorail links.
Isla Tacano is a tropical paradise and well suited for establishing your operations. The weather is generally idyllic, but it can occasionally be hit by servere storms and even twisters.
Isla Pena is a difficult location for your operations. The Hammond Foundation was only able to secure a small area for development. Operations here are conducted at night and it suffers from frequent storms.
Isla Sorna presents the ultimate challenge for your operations in the Five Deaths. All manner of calamities can occur here, but it also provides a larger area for developing dinosaurs and facilities.

{% extends 'layout-lab-5-a-to-z.html' %} {% block pageTitle %} Treatment - Cervical cancer - NHS.UK {% endblock %} {% block beforeContent %} {% endblock %} {% block content %}
Complications of cervical cancer can occur as a side effect of treatment or as the result of advanced cervical cancer.
If your ovaries are surgically removed or are damaged during treatment with radiotherapy, it will trigger an early menopause if you haven't already been through it. Most women experience the menopause naturally in their early fifties.
Symptoms of the menopause include:
These symptoms can be relieved by taking a number of medications that stimulate the production of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. This treatment is known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

There are 2 main treatment options if you have a narrowed vagina. The first is to apply a hormone cream to your vagina.
The second is to use vaginal dilators, sometimes called vaginal trainers. These are tampon-shaped plastic tubes that come in many different sizes. You insert one into your vagina, usually starting with the smallest size.
Dilators are designed to help stretch the vagina and make it more supple. As you get used to the smaller sizes, you can work your way up to slightly larger ones.
It's usually recommended to use dilators for 5 to 10 minutes at a time on a regular basis during the day over the course of 6 to 12 months.
Your specialist cancer nurse or radiographers in the radiotherapy department should be able to give you more information and advice.
You may find that the more times you have sex, the less painful it becomes. However, it may be several months before you feel emotionally ready to be intimate with a sexual partner.
Macmillan has more information about sexuality and cancer.
If the lymph nodes in your pelvis are removed, it can sometimes disrupt the normal workings of your lymphatic system.
One of the functions of the lymphatic system is to drain away excess fluid from the body's tissue. A disruption to this process can lead to a build-up of fluid in the tissue, called lymphoedema. This can cause certain body parts to become swollen – usually the legs, in cases of cervical cancer.
There are exercises and massage techniques that can reduce the swelling. Wearing specially designed bandages and compression garments can also help.
Read more about treating lymphoedema.
The emotional impact of living with cervical cancer can be significant. Many people report experiencing a "rollercoaster" effect.
For example, you may feel down when you receive a diagnosis but happy when removal of the cancer has been confirmed. You may then feel down again as you try to come to terms with the after effects of your treatment.
This type of emotional disruption can sometimes trigger depression. Typical signs of depression include feeling sad and hopeless, and losing interest in things you used to enjoy.
Contact your GP if you think you may be depressed. There are a range of effective treatments available, including antidepressant medication and talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Read more about coping with cancer.
Some of the complications that can occur in advanced cervical cancer are discussed in the following sections.
If the cancer spreads into your nerve endings, bones or muscles, it can often cause severe pain, which can usually be controlled with painkilling medications.
These painkillers can range from paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, to more powerful opiate-based painkillers, such as codeine and morphine, depending on pain levels.
Tell your care team if the painkillers you're prescribed aren't effective. You may need to be prescribed a stronger medication. A short course of radiotherapy may also be effective in controlling the pain.
Macmillan nurses, who work both in hospitals and in the community, can also provide expert advice about pain relief.
In some cases of advanced cervical cancer, the tumour can cause a build-up of urine inside the kidneys (hydronephrosis), which can lead to loss of most or all of the kidneys' functions. This is called kidney failure.
Kidney failure can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:
Treatment options for kidney failure associated with cervical cancer include draining urine out of the kidneys using a tube inserted through the skin and into each kidney, or widening the ureters by placing a small metal tube, called a stent, inside them.
As with other types of cancer, cervical cancer can make the blood "stickier" and more prone to forming clots. Bed rest after surgery and chemotherapy can also increase the risk of developing a clot.
Large tumours can press on the veins in the pelvis. This slows the flow of blood and can lead to a blood clot developing in the legs.
Symptoms of a blood clot in your legs include:
A major concern in these cases is that the blood clot from the leg vein will travel up to the lungs and block the supply of blood. This is known as a pulmonary embolism and can be fatal.
Blood clots in the legs are usually treated using a combination of blood-thinning medication, such as heparin or warfarin, and compression garments designed to help encourage blood flow through the limbs.
Read more about treating deep vein thrombosis.
If the cancer spreads into your vagina, bowel or bladder, it can cause significant damage, resulting in bleeding. Bleeding can occur in your vagina or back passage (rectum), or you may pass blood when you pee.
Minor bleeding can often be treated using a medication called tranexamic acid that encourages the blood to clot and stop the bleeding. Radiotherapy can also be highly effective in controlling bleeding caused by cancer.
Major bleeding may be temporarily treated by using gauze to stem the bleeding and, later, by surgery, radiotherapy or cutting off blood supply to the cervix.
A fistula is a rare but distressing complication of advanced cervical cancer.
In most cases involving cervical cancer, the fistula is a channel that develops between the bladder and the vagina. This can lead to a persistent discharge of fluid from the vagina. A fistula can sometimes develop between the vagina and rectum.
Surgery is usually required to repair a fistula, although it's often not possible in women with advanced cervical cancer because they're usually too frail to withstand the effects of surgery.
In such cases, treatment often involves using medication, creams and lotions to reduce the amount of discharge and protect the vagina and surrounding tissue from damage and irritation.
If your doctors can't do any more to treat your cancer, your care will focus on controlling your symptoms and helping you be as comfortable as possible. This is called palliative care.
Palliative care also includes psychological, social and spiritual support for you and your family or carers.
There are different options for palliative care in the late stages of cancer. You may want to think about whether you'd like to be cared for in hospital, in a hospice or at home, and discuss these issues with your doctor.
Organisations that provide care for people with cancer include:

Hello, I'm new to the forum. Before I proceed to ask a question which has probably already been asked, a quick (sincere) thanks to all helpful members. I've learned quite a lot from forums posts but unfortunately haven't been able to find a post which discusses the issue I face.
I'm using an SCT-013-030 to measure current. I also have a clamp meter which I'm using to compare the reading from a 60W lamp the +ive lead of which I loop 8 times around either the clamp meter or the SCT-013-030. What's puzzling me (even before I get to the Arduino adc conversion/calibration) is that the device outputs an AC voltage as soon as I plug the lamp in with the switch off. The clamp meter as expected measures no current in the wire when the switch is off and 2A when the switch is on. But the SCT outputs an ac voltage when the lamp is plugged in and this voltage doesn't change when the switch is off/on.
I'm confused by this. I would've assumed (as shown by the clamp meter) that there's no current in the conductor when the switch is off but the SCT is obtaining energy from somewhere to output a potential difference - so there must be current flowing through the conductor. Can somebody please explain what/how the SCT is sensing when the circuit is open ?
Thanks for you attention.
Re: SCT-013-030 ac voltage output
I'm confused by this. Me too! What resistance do you measure for your -030 c.t? The only sensible reason I can think of is you're not actually connecting to the c.t. and your voltmeter is reading the mains voltage picked up by capacitance to your body or something like that.
[Edit: Proof would be if you read nothing or very little if you put your c.t. on the neutral.)
You should read about 37 Ω - the internal burden resistor is apparently tweaked in manufacture to calibrate the output and is around 75 Ω, the internal resistance of the secondary is similar and of course is in parallel.
What do you read on the mA scale? I'd expect close to 1 mA when the lamp is on, and zero off. (Don't worry, it is safe to short-circuit a c.t.)
Re: SCT-013-030 ac voltage output
Robert, thanks very much for your reply. I do measure resistance of the -030 c.t. as ~38ohm. While measuring the resistance, I've realized that I'd made an incorrect assumption about the connection between the plug of the -030 and the pins on the 3.5mm jack. I'm now able to measure zero ac voltage when the switch is off and non-zero when the switch is on. So, a big thank you for suggesting I measure the resistance.
I'm still foxed why there's any voltage at all (up to 2V ac) on any of the parts of the plug when there's no current. I'm going to ignore this 'free' source of energy for now.
Re: SCT-013-030 ac voltage output
I'm going to ignore this 'free' source of energy for now. Ah, but I'm prepared to bet there's next to no energy there, as there will be almost zero current. As I sit here with a laptop on my knee, put one meter prod to earth and hold the other in my hand, I read 43 V. If I put the meter on the µA range, I get about 50 µA. According to me, the maximum power I could get is about 1 mW into a 1 MΩ resistor – if I'm lucky.
You could try the same thing. I expect even less current in your case.
As I said, there's a capacitor connecting your c.t. to the mains. You can't see it, one 'plate' is the mains conductor, the other is the secondary winding in the c.t.. The dielectric is the insulation and the air separating them. The capacitance value is very small, a few tens of picofarads.
Re: SCT-013-030 ac voltage output
Robert, thanks for another helpful post. I'll make a measurement similar to the one you made.
Did you really mean 43V ? I can believe (without doing the experiment myself) 43mV or perhaps even 4.3V but will have to see 43V to believe.
Re: SCT-013-030 ac voltage output
Yes, I really did mean forty-three! As I said, no current - I certainly can't feel anything. The reason is the laptop PSU is double-insulated and not earthed to the mains, and I suspect it has suppression capacitors across the mains input designed for the peculiar 'centre-tapped to earth' American system with the output 0 V connected to the centre tap of the capacitors, so the whole PSU and laptop tends to float towards half-supply - 120 V in my case. Laptop headphone socket to earth: 96 V, or 275 µA on the current range. I think pure coincidence that voltage is double what I measured yesterday, that is 52 V today. Maybe today's lower humidity has pushed it up?

About Me
I'm a recent Computer Science graduate of Furman University with a passion for creating interactive applications. Several years of Undergraduate research have given me a lot of experience with Java, the R statistical language, and working with groups from very different backgrounds. During this time, I became fascinated with the applications of web technologies and how they could help share my research with others. I'm currently enrolled in a full-stack web development bootcamp at UNC Chapel Hill so I can pursue this interest and start a career as a web-developer.
Besides web-dev, I am very passionate about 3D graphics and conservation. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate these into my work, whether that's through games (Unity 3D), digital dioramas (WebGL, THREE.js) or my research topics.


In the past we’ve had professionals present that have worked on projects such as Spacex, Riot Games, X-prize, Adobe, Toyota Motor Sports, VMWare, UCLA, CSULB, AARP, and more … using technologies such as Bootstrap, Bower, Browserfy, Headless Drupal, iOS Swift, Jekyll, Meteor, Node.js, SASS, Sculpin, Zapier and more.

Image Picker
Image Picker is a simple jQuery plugin that transforms a select element
into a more user friendly graphical interface.
Features
- Works great on both single and multiple select elements.
- Falls back nicely for clients without JavaScript enabled.
- Integrates nicely with Twitter's Bootstrap markup.
What it does?
It turns a select element into a more user friendly interface, e.g.:
Note: Select items are hidden by default when using Image Picker.
They are left visible in the examples for pedagogical purposes.
How it works?
Simply add the attribute
data-img-src
with the url of the image you want to use as a preview, e.g:
<option
data-img-src='http://www.example.com/image.jpg'
value='42'
>
Then just call imagepicker on the target elements.
$("select").imagepicker()
More examples
Include blanks
If you want to allow blanks, just include an extra option with an empty value and
no image data associated. Clicking a selected image will deselect it.
Selects Multiple
Image Picker works great on select multiple elements too.
Limit multiple selects
Original submit and idea by Jason M. Batchelor.
You can also limit the amount of images to be selected by either passing an argument to the initialization when calling imagepicker()
, ej: $("select").imagepicker({limit: 2})
or adding it as data to the select element (click view html for example).
You can also trigger a callback when the limit has been reached by specifying a function in
either the initialization under the attribute $("select").imagepicker({limit_reached: function(){alert('We are full')}})
.
Labels
You can also use the options text as labels by passing the option show_label: true
when calling imagepicker()
.
You can specify more complex labels by passing them as part of the option data in
the attribute data-img-label
. You can even specify HTML code.
Uneven images
By default, Image Picker does not resize or order your images in any way, there are better tools
for it if you need it. It can look great if your images are properly designed and ordered.
Or awful if they are just some random images. Thankfully, it works great with third
party grid aligning scripts like Masonry.
Documentation
Image Picker Options
You can specify the following options when calling image picker:
- hide_select
- Default: true. Wheter the original select item should be hidden or not.
- show_label
-
Default: false. If set to true, the text of each option will be added as
a paragraph below each image.
- limit
-
Default: undefined. If it's a select multiple and set to any value, it'll
cap the selectable elements at that value.
Additionally you can specify the following callbacks:
- initialized
-
Default: undefined. Specify a function to be called when the picker has been initialized.
- changed
-
Default: undefined. Specify a function to be called when the picker has changed.
- clicked
-
Default: undefined. Specify a function to be called when an option has been clicked.
- selected
-
Default: undefined. Specify a function to be called when an option has been selected.
- limit_reached
-
Default: undefined. Specify a function to be called when the limit cap has been reached.
Example:
$("select").imagepicker({
hide_select : true,
show_label : false
})
Select data
You can also pass some data directly to the select tag:
- data-limit
-
Optional. If it's a select multiple and set to any value, it'll cap the selectable
elements at that value.
Example:
<select multiple="multiple"
data-limit='2'
>
Options data
You can also pass some data on each option element of the select tag:
- data-img-src
- Required. The url of the image to use as a preview
- data-img-label
-
Optional. If
show_label
is set to true when calling
imagepicker()
. Then this content will be used as a label for
the displayed image. This will not be escaped so you can actually put HTML
here (although I wouldn't recommend it).
Example:
<option
data-img-src='http://www.example.com/image.jpg'
data-img-label='Just an image!'
value='42'
>

In the ServiceAPI there is a concept of a propertySet, this allows for the retrieval of a pre-defined set of properties, for example:
/Record?q=all&propertySets=Grid&format=json
One of the property sets is 'All' which means that the above URL could look like this:
/Record?pageSize=20&q=all&propertySets=All&format=json
Fetching all properties for many object types (such as Classification, SavedSearch, Activity etc) can be a good idea, being simpler than pre-determining which properties you need. Using 'All' for Records is problematic, two problems being:
The solution is not to use 'All'. The alternatives are:

Previous work creating a reintegration program while employed by Douglas County Sheriff's office. I represented the office at multiple stakeholder groups up to the State level. I advocated for reintegration needs for those in the criminal justice population entering back into society. My advocacy consisted of needs for housing, employment, food, transportation, substance abuse treatment etc. Through this advocacy we secured funding for treatment, employment training and education while incarcerated and where able to secure housing, employment, transportation, Medicaid and basic needs for many of our clients.
The idea of Coloradans putting their trust and faith in their fellow Coloradans to come together for the purpose of redistricting in a way to benefit all of the communities within those districts leaves me proud to be part of this state and eager to share in this process. This process allows for us to provide insight and opportunity for the sole purpose of benefiting those that call Colorado home and to ensure their voice is heard and represented equally.
When different viewpoints are brought together to work toward a solution, the first thing to do is to find common ground. The guiding principal of collaboration is that all viewpoints have value and are equally important. The group needs to keep in focus that as important as it is to contribute, it is equally important to listen. The heart and sole of advocacy is truly being fair and impartial. The way you build that foundation is to ensure that When the goal is to work towards the good of the whole and not oneself, in my viewpoint, fair and impartial are automatic. My focus is and always will be on all Coloradans, regardless of what level the goal is.
First and foremost you need to have an understanding of the direction and/or outcome that is desired. Then it is necessary to apply the data components such as demographics, economics, environment and the impact points have currently and how they will be affected by the desired outcome. Then you get to work mapping out different processes based on multiple scenarios. Collaboration is key here as different viewpoints and interpretation is relevant in forming any process. It is important for the group to span its vision several steps ahead and understand how each domino will impact the others once they fall and to keep moving forward yet be able to redirect when there is a negative impact.

Al Takfir Wal HijraAl Takfir Wal Hijra may be the most terrifically terrifying terrorist operation in the world today. The fact that you've never heard of it is part of the problem.Al Takfir Wal Hijra means "anathema and exile" or possibly "excommunication and emigration." A theologically extreme extension of the Saudi Arabia's Wahabbi doctrines, Takfir is dedicated to restoring the Caliphate, the Islamic political empire that once spanned the Near and Middle East. Ayman Al-Zawahiri is a member of the Takfir sect. While Osama bin Laden is usually called the leader of al Qaeda, Zawahri runs the terrorist network in most meaningful respects, including ordering attacks and concocting theological justifications for killing. The founder of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad organization and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Zawahiri is one of several international terror masterminds linked to Takfir Wal Hijra. Takfir is as fundamentalist a sect as you can imagine. Its major tenet holds that all the world's non-Muslim leaders should be overthrown by any means including (and especially) violence. Not only are infidels subject to sanctions up to and including death, but even other Muslims who don't fit the Takfir ideal. It isn't just the bloodthirstiness that makes Takfir Wal Hijra dangerous, however. It's the techniques. A major element of Takfir religious practice is subterfuge. The threat of Takfir is that its cold, heartless killers could easily be the boy or girl next door. Takfir Wal Hijra members are permitted to disregard the injunctions of Islamic law in order to blend into infidel societies.  In the wake of September 11, and even before, the U.S. and media pundits have frequently engaged in head-scratching over the fact that terrorist operatives often don't appear to be especially Islamic. It seems paradoxical that the 9/11 hijackers could be so dedicated that they would die for the cause, but not so dedicated that they avoided picking up girls at nightclubs. "(They seem like) regular, fun-loving guys -- but they'd slit your throat or bomb your building in a second," a French official told Time Magazine. Mohammed Atta, although puritanical in his behavior, was believed to be Takfiri. He's not the only al Qaeda operative you could point the finger at. Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed went to discos, drank alcohol and dated call girls. Yousef in particular is renowned for being generally unIslamic and non-observant of prayers and fasting. Although no one has suggested openly that Yousef and KSM were Takfiri, it's hardly a stretch. Other al Qaeda operatives in the U.S. might be Takfiri, including Ali Mohammed, a senior al Qaeda operative who served with the U.S. Special Forces in the late 1980s, or Mahmud Abouhalima, who joined the NRA before getting mixed up in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In addition to its unparalleled ability to infiltrate Western societies, Takfir also distinguishes itself for its sheer violence and cheerful lack of discrimination among its targets. Even bin Laden has been a target of Takfir killers, supposedly, during a 1996 assassination attempt in the Sudan. This rumor persists despite the fact that Takfirs fought alongside bin Laden's mujahideen in Afghanistan, which tells you something cautionary about being on the wrong side of a Takfir. The U.S. government is deeply concerned about the Takfiri movement, although you wouldn't be able to tell from the way they never talk much about it. In 2002, the Justice Department charged four men with running a Takfiri terrorist sleeper cell in Michigan. Members were charged with planning shoe bombings, airline attacks and casing the U.S. embassy in Jordan, Disneyland and a Las Vegas casino for potential attacks. The case began to disintegrate after a series of missteps and illegal acts by the Justice Department. Only two of the four were convicted, and even those convictions may not stand up to review. After those named above, the next most famous Takfir may be Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian-born Palestinian who is currently making life miserable for the U.S. in Iraq. Although little credible information is known about Zarqawi, his M.O. and stated beliefs are generally consistent with the Takfir cult. It's also worth noting that he recently attempted to stage a chemical attack on the same Jordanian embassy allegedly targeted by the Michigan cell. Strangely, there's some conventional wisdom circulating which holds that Takfir Wal Hijra was founded by Lebanese immigrant and Boston taxi cab driver Bassam Ahmed Kanj. However, there's some room for debate. It's likely that the sect (in some form) predates Kanj's involvement beginning in 1996. (He was killed in an uprising in Lebanon in 2000.) According to the Justice Department, Takfiris are guided by fatwas issued by influential radicals, like the following, issued in 1998 by Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, an exiled Egyptian cleric now imprisoned in the U.S.:
Cut all links with the [United States].  Ruin their economies, set their companies on fire, turn their conspiracies to powder and dust. Sink their ships, bring their planes down. Slay them in the air, on land, on water. And [with the Command of Allah] kill them wherever you find them. Catch them and put them in prison. Lie in wait for them and kill these infidels. They will surely get great oppression from you. God will make you the means of wreaking a terrible revenge upon them, of degrading them. He will support you against them. He will cure the afflicted hearts of the faithful and take all anger out of their hearts.Clearly, God will have his hands full with some of these hearts. In the meantime, you can only hope that the boy or girl next door isn't planning to slit your throat any time soon.

public SimulationRunGroup(java.lang.String simulationID, java.lang.String simulationVersionID, java.lang.String simulationSpecificationConfigurationID)
simulationID
- The globally unique id for the simulation specification itself. Most
configuration items, such as the number of agents, would not normally
imply a difference id for the simulation. It is suggested that this
value be globally unique, generating a UUID and storing it with the
simulation specification files.simulationVersionID
- An optional ID, stored statically, to specify the version of the
simulation specification. This ID should not be used to version
different configurable items of a simulation, such as the number of
agents, but rather is meant to version the more structural changes of a
simulation. If one is not provided, the simulation leaves this null.simulationSpecificationConfigurationID
- An optional ID to track different simulation-toolkit-side configurations
for the simulation, especially for differing sets of configurable
initial conditions. For example, you may wish to run your simulation
with 100 agents, and then run it again with 200 agents. This ID could be
used to differentiate the results. Individual simulation runs in a
simulation run group may also have their own unique configurations, but
these differences are instead tracked in the SimulationRun object. If
the simulationSpecificationConfigurationID parameter is not supplied,
the framework keeps it null.public java.lang.String getSimulationID()

simulationRunGroupID
- An optional ID stored statically to track a group of related simulation
runs for a simulation. Simulation runs in a group may be run
sequentially from the same process (such as an entire run through the
Repast Simphony Simulation Runner), in parallel using multiple machines,
or spaced out temporally. Using the same SimulationRunGroupID allows the
simulation results to be grouped together, which may be useful in
analysis with Monte Carlo methods. If the simulationRunGroupID is not
specified, the framework generates a new UUID. Any new executions of the
framework would generate a new simulationRunGroupID. For parallel
processing (future support), each execution thread's
SimulationRunGroupID would still be the same, as it is stored
statically. A separate ID is created internally for each instance of the
DistributedSystemSimulationRunGroup. Every new run through the
Simulation Framework would generate a new instance ID (a UUID).csfSimulationRunGroupConfigurationID
- An optional ID to track the configuration ( from the framework
configuration file, not the simulation toolkit configuration file) of a
simulation run group, which is a group of related simulation runs. For
example, this configuration ID could version and track whether the
framework will connect to one set of distributed agents, or a different
set. If this parameter is not supplied, the framework keeps it nulluserSpecifiedConfigurations
- An optional collection of user-specified configurations that vary along
domain-specific or other dimensions. This parameter only applies to
Simulation Run Groups. A similar parameter exists for the individual
simulation runs.

‘NPP is building Ghana on a platform of deception’ – Fifi Kwetey
MP for Ketu South Constituency, Fifi Kwetey has said the New Patriot Party (NPP) is ‘building the country on a platform of deception and untrustworthiness’.
According to him, the assertion the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta made during the presentation of the 2020 Budget and Economic Policy that the Akufo-Addo led administration had inherited an economy of mess was nothing but a ‘fallacy’.
“There’s no government in the 4th republic that has inherited such a solid economy like the Nana Akufo-Addo led government. We the [NDC] handed to them two massive oil fields that produces some 200,000 barrels a day today, yet they claim they have inherited an economic mess”
“Maybe their own Gross Domestic Product (GDP) today is on the bases of two oil fields that have been handed over to the NPP,” he added.
Fifi Kwetey made this known on Tuesday, November 20 when the NDC held a public forum in response to the Finance Minister’s 2020 budget statement presentation.
He added that for the first time in our history, the Mahama led administration handed over to the Akufo-Addo administration, a nation that has resolved the energy crisis.
“For the first time in our lifetime, we actually had enough power to be able to give electricity to industry and individuals yet our friends [NPP] call this great legacy an economic mess,” he concluded.
