ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To analyze the growth of epidemiological research in Brazil in comparison to
the total number of indexed publications worldwide and from several Latin American
and Caribbean countries.
METHODS:
A Boolean combination of epidemiological key words was used to search the MEDLINE/PubMed
database for articles published between 1985 and 2004. These articles were divided
into 4 time periods: 1985-9, 1990-4, 1995-9, and 2000-4.
RESULTS:
Of the total 211,727 articles identified in the MEDLINE/PubMed database, 1,952
(0.9%) were related to Brazil. The number of articles increased 12-fold throughout
the period (from 91 to 1,096), and more than doubled (0.54% to 1.1%) if considered
in relation to the total number of indexed articles. This growth was accompanied
by diversification of the subjects addressed. The fields of infectious diseases
and mother-child health, which predominated during the first period (74%), represented
only a minority of articles in the last period. There was a noteworthy increase
in the Brazilian output when compared to that of other Latin American and Caribbean
countries.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our results corroborate previous evidence of the intense growth of epidemiological
research in Brazil in the last two decades. This growth was more intense than
mean growth worldwide, and much greater than that found in other Latin American
countries. Therefore, Brazilian scientific output in the epidemiology field
is showing a growth pattern similar to that of other scientific areas in the
country.
Keywords: Journal article. Publications. Epidemiology, trends. Research, trends. Research, statistics & numerial data.
INTRODUCTION
Scientometric studies have been showing significant growth in Brazilian scientific production in recent decades. The main source for such measurements has been the bibliographical database compiled by the Institute for Scientific Information/Thomson Scientific (ISI/Thomson), under the Web of Science interface. According to this source, the production of scientific articles in Brazil in the last two decades has increased at twice the mean global rate. The proportion of articles coming from Brazil indexed in the Web of Science database, which two decades ago was approximately 0.5%, now approaches 1.5% of global output. A similar growth pattern has been observed other analyses of research in the health area.9
Some of these studies report that, generally speaking, the growth of Brazilian scientific production in recent decades has been greater than that of other Latin American countries.* A bibliometric study12 that divided publications in the health field into biomedicine, clinical practice, and collective health showed intense growth in scientific production between 1973 and 1992. In relation to other Latin American countries, Brazil ranked first in production in the field of biomedicine, with 38.7% of all published articles (followed by Argentina, with 29.6%); in the field of clinical practice, production in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico was similar (26.6%, 27.5%, and 22,7%, respectively); however, in the field of collective health, Brazilian production accounted for 60.7% of published articles, with a substantial lead over Argentina (13.5%) and Mexico (11.2%), in second and third places, respectively.12 This study also showed that epidemiological production was centered on infectious diseases and mother-infant health; this is in contrast with worldwide production, in which chronic diseases were already the foremost topic of investigation.
Regarding epidemiology specifically, the description and analysis of its growth and trends in Brazil were the subject of a few but important studies.5,10,13 Teixeira13 analyzed the abstracts of studies presented at the first three Brazilian epidemiology congresses, and identified some important characteristics: significant participation of health care professionals, collaboration between academics and such professionals, and the existence of a small core of epidemiologists that presented abstracts at the three congresses investigated. Guimarães et al,10 using the 2000 Research Directory of Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq - National Council for Scientific and Technological Development), showed that epidemiological research topics were quite well structured, and were present in at least 176 research groups, most of which were in the field of collective health. However, their most interesting finding was that part of these groups did not belong to the health field, indicating the multidisciplinary trend typical of Brazilian epidemiological research. Barreto5 analyzed the foundations of the intense growth of epidemiology in Brazil, highlighting the strong interaction between academic research and health care service practice.
The aim of the present study was to analyze the growth of scientific production in epidemiology in Brazil and to discuss qualitative aspects of this growth, as well as its implications and trends.
METHODS
We carried out a survey of epidemiological articles produced in Brazil and published in journals indexed in the MEDLINE/PubMed database between 1985 and 2004. Even though it favors North-American publications, the MEDLINE/PubMed database is the greatest available bibliographical database for the health area with global coverage. A number of relevant Brazilian health science journals are indexed in this database, whereas others, just as relevant, are not. Specifically in the field of collective health, two important journals Revista de Saúde Pública and Cadernos de Saúde Pública are indexed, while other journals of growing importance in this area, such as and Ciência e Saúde Coletiva are still not in the database. At the international level, important epidemiological journals are indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed (American Journal of Epidemiology, International Journal of Epidemiology, Epidemiology, Annals of Epidemiology, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, Epidemiolgy and Infection, Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, European Journal of Epidemiology, Journal of Epidemiology, Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology).
The present study covered a period of two decades, divided into four subperiods: 1985-1989, 1990-1994, 1995-1999, and 2000-2004. In order to characterize an article as "epidemiological", the following keywords were used, in Boolean combination: (epidemiology OR risk) AND (ecological OR geographical OR aggregate OR time-series OR trend OR cohort OR transversal OR cross-sectional OR case-control OR trial OR intervention OR etiological).
In order to identify articles related to Brazil, we included the term "and Brazil" to the combination described above. Data were retrieved for entries between January 1st to December 31st of the first and last years of the analyzed subperiod. For this search, the studied time period was defined in the "Limits" tab of the PubMed search interface. The number of articles published in English (or in any other language) was obtained using another field in the "Limits" tab. In order to verify the consistency of the information thus obtained, we also carried out searches using the same Boolean combinations in the Web of Science database.
RESULTS
For the entire 1985-2004 period, we retrieved 211,727 articles from the MEDLINE/PubMed database, of which 1,958 (0.9%) were related to Brazil. Of these, 91 articles (0.5% of the total) were from the 1985-1989 period, whereas 1,096 (1.1% of the total) were from the 2000-2004 period, indicating an approximately 12-fold increase in the number of articles, and a twofold increase in terms of the percentage of articles indexed in the database. Of the total 1,958 articles related to Brazil, 741 (38%) were published in Brazil, 513 (26%) in the United States, 361(18%) in Great Britain, and the remainder (343) in other countries. Figure 1 shows the growing trend for articles published by Brazilians in Brazilian, North-American, and British journals. There is also a predominance of the English language among articles by Brazilian authors indexed in the MEDLINE/PubMed database, totaling 71%. This high proportion remained stable throughout all periods studied. Of all articles published in Brazilian journals, 33% were in English. The ascending curve seen in Figure 1 was the consequence of an increase in the different types epidemiological of studies. Thus, if we consider more complex studies such as those with longitudinal design alone, we see an increase similar to that seen for epidemiological studies in general. In the 1985-1989 period, we identified 21 longitudinal studies, increasing to 61, 136, and 275 in the following subperiods, representing 23%, 25%, 26%, and 25% of all studies in each period.
The same search when conducted in the Web of Science database retrieved a smaller number of articles (742), with only a single article in the 1985-1989 period. The growing trend was similar to that observed using MEDLINE/PubMed data (Figure 2).
When compared to global production (Figure 3), in spite of the substantial difference in magnitude, growth across the two decades analyzed was faster in Brazil than it was worldwide. Thus, whereas in 1985-1989 Brazilian production accounted for 0.5% of global production, in the subsequent subperiod this proportion increased, reaching 0.7% in 1990-1994, 0.9% in 1995-1999, and as much as 1.1% in 2000-2004, corresponding to a relative growth of more than twice that observed globally. Figure 4 shows Brazilian epidemiological production in the 1985-2005 period in relation to production in major Latin American countries. When compared to most countries analyzed, the difference between production in Brazil increased considerably throughout the period. Interestingly, the production of epidemiological articles in Mexico, which in 1985-1989 was the only country with greater production than Brazil, was significantly lower than Brazilian production in the 2000-2004 period.
Concerning the topics of epidemiological articles published in Brazil, in the first period (1985-9), 74% of articles addressed subjects related to infectious diseases and mother-child health, and the remaining 26% corresponded to 24 articles on cancer, heart disease, mental disorders, and environmental and nutritional problems. This scenario became inverted in the 2000-2004 period, with only 40% of articles addressing infectious diseases and mother-child health, and the remaining 60% approximately 700 articles being dedicated to other epidemiological topics, with important increases in the fields of violence and oral health.
DISCUSSION
The results of the present study corroborate evidence previously presented in other studies of the growth of epidemiological research in Brazil in the last two decades. A potential turning point in this process is the year of 1984, which saw the first national meeting on teaching and research in epidemiology, and when the Epidemiology Committee of the Associação Brasileira de Pós-Graduação em Saúde Coletiva (Abrasco - Brazilian Association of Collective Health Postgraduate Programs) was created.1 This committee would become a major stimulus for the development of Brazilian epidemiology. We also found that growth was more intense in Brazil than it was worldwide, and that it was greater than that of other Latin American countries. We therefore conclude that scientific production in epidemiology in Brazil is showing growth patterns similar to those found in other fields of scientific knowledge.9
The MEDLINE/PubMed database has greater coverage of the health and collective health areas than does Web of Science. Access to the on-line version of MEDLINE/PubMed is universal and free, making it the most accessed bibliographic source for the health area. However, the ISI/Thomson database has been used more often in scientometric studies, among other reasons because it includes journals from other scientific fields, thus allowing for comparisons to be made between the different areas of science. However, ISI/Thomson is more restrictive in the coverage of indexed journals, and shows major differences from MEDLINE/PubMed. The most important of these is that, whereas MEDLINE/PubMed is a governmental organ linked to the United States National Library of Medicine, ISI/Thomson is a private enterprise, whose transparency has been seriously questioned.11 ISI/Thomson, however, carries out other tasks of great importance to scientometrics, producing measures of the impact of scientific journals published in its database (impact factors), in addition to cataloguing the number of citations that each indexed article has had in subsequent scientific articles (i.e., in articles published in other journals included in this same database). The majority of North-American and British journals in which Brazilians most frequently publish, in the fields of epidemiology, collective health, or general health alike, are indexed in both MEDLINE/PubMed and ISI/Thomson. However, this is not the case for Brazilian journals, since, as already mentioned, in the field of collective health, only Cadernos de Saúde Pública and Revista de Saúde Pública are indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed, and only the latter is indexed in ISI/Thomson.
Despite the limitations of the present bibliographical search, we believe to have succeeded in attaining our major objective, which was to show the growth and trends in publication, even though the magnitude of production (number of published articles) may eventually be greater than that found in the present study.
Guimarães et al10 documented the large number of researchers with PhDs in epidemiology in activity in research groups throughout Brazil. In the 1980's and 1990s, these authors identified over 90 doctors inserted into research groups abroad (especially in the United States and England). In its turn, the development of postgraduate programs in collective health, many of which concentrate on epidemiology, has led to the training of a growing number of epidemiologists from Brazil and from other countries, especially from Latin America and Africa. Obviously, such a large number of researchers is in itself a propelling factor for scientific production. Barata & Goldbaum,3 while analyzing the characteristics of CNPq researchers in the field of public health, observed that the majority of these are epidemiologists, and that the proportion of those trained outside Brazil is decreasing markedly, reflecting a change in place of training between the different generations of epidemiologists.
In short, the expansion of the scientific production in epidemiology detected in the present study, based mainly on the MEDLINE/PubMed database, is consistent with the findings of previous surveys using other sources. A natural and immediate unfolding of the realization of such increase in scientific production in epidemiology would be a qualitative analysis of production, centered on issues such as its impact on international epidemiology and its meaning in terms of knowledge of the health conditions of the Brazilian population and implementation of policies and measures to improve them.
International impact deserves special attention, since it is connected to the fundamental characteristic of scientific knowledge: becoming a universal good, to be shared internationally. We found that about 71% of Brazilian scientific articles indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed are written in English, allowing them to be read by researchers from other countries more easily than if they were published only in Portuguese. Language of publication is a polemic issue. One question in this context is what leads an author to choose an international rather than a Brazilian journal. Even in Brazilian journals, an important proportion (33%) of publications in epidemiology are in English. Certain Brazilian collective health journals allow the author to choose the language of publication. However, other alternatives are being introduced, and Revista de Saúde Pública has recently innovated in this field, offering the choice of bilingual (Portuguese-English) publication, thus reaching the international audience and allowing Brazilian readers the option of reading the article in their mother tongue, providing greater access to the national audience. SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library On-line), the portal which houses the most important Brazilian scientific journals (including those of collective health and epidemiology), allows free on-line access to publications, and is an important means of dissemination of scientific production in Brazil. Journals indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed offer a link to SciELO, allowing access to the full-text article.
The impact of these choices on the internationalization of these journals is still largely unknown. Revista de Saúde Pública is still the only Brazilian collective health journal indexed in ISI/Thomson, and, therefore, with a measured impact factor. This factor, however, is very low (0.2 in 2004), and has not shown an increasing trend in recent years. A likely cause for this is the fact that the majority of its articles are published in Portuguese. We still do not know whether the bilingual (Portuguese-English) publication of articles, begun in 2003, will lead to an increase in the journal's impact factor. All these efforts are aimed at strengthening the process of dissemination of scientific knowledge, allowing free and widespread access to the knowledge produced. Knowledge is traditionally disseminated from central countries (producers) to peripheral ones (receptors and users). We do not know how much an increase in the production of knowledge in a given country can influence this scenario. However, there is no doubt as to the increase in the autonomy of peripheral countries with respect to the solution of their own problems and challenges.
Regarding the impact of scientific production, it is expected that an article will serve as a reference for subsequent articles. ISI/Thomson created the impact factor for scientific journals in order to measure the mean number of citations of articles published in a given journal during a given period. ISI/Thomson also retrieves citations for a given article indexed in its database. Although universally used, the impact factor has been the target of much criticism.8 Recently, other initiatives have been developed in this field. A noteworthy effort is Google Scholar, which also retrieves citations for a given article, and which does not have the limitations of ISI/Thomson. However, this system does not measure the impact of specific journals. In applied areas such as collective health, part of the knowledge produced is used by professionals rather than by other researchers. Other impacts are thus expected from applied knowledge in addition to bibliographic impact. However, non-bibliographic impact (for instance, professional practice, technology, patents, regulations, among others) is far from being measurable through standardized procedures, comparable between different fields of study.
The distribution of article production according to subject also allowed us to gauge the increase in the diversification of topics addressed by Brazilian epidemiologists. Almeida-Filho et al2 reported an increase in publications addressing inequities in health. This certainly mean to broadening our knowledge of the complex health problems affecting the Brazilian population, a necessary step for policies and actions to be devised and implemented.
Barreto5,7 previously argued that the growth of epidemiological knowledge is strongly related to certain characteristics of development in the field, which define the profile of scientific practice among Brazilian epidemiologists. The evidence presented in the present study bring about further elements to show that Brazilian epidemiological research is becoming consolidated at the same pace as other scientific fields in Brazil. This includes its high degree of internationalization, as should be the case with any scientific field. Nevertheless, epidemiology is undergoing such a process without losing contact with its commitments as a social practice, intended to increase our basis of knowledge of the health conditions of the Brazilian population and its determinants and devise possible changes.4,6 The strengthening of postgraduate programs in collective health and epidemiology in Brazil is due, among other factors, to an increase in the financial resources allocated by the Ministry of Health to epidemiological studies in recent years. An example of this is the approval of large-scale projects such as the ELSA Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (Longitudinal Study of Adult Health). It is expected that, in following decades, the development of new instruments for the evaluation of applied scientific fields, as is the case of epidemiology, may take evaluation beyond the limits of bibliometric quantification. Its effects on health-related policies and actions and on professional practice must be the subject of more thorough evaluations providing a better picture of another of science's characteristics, namely its ability to modify the context into which it is inserted.

Robbie Williams says it took nearly dying in health scare to force him to change
Brit pop star Robbie says despite years of battling booze and drugs, it was the health scare which left him close to death in 2017 that changed his ways
by Tiffany WallisRobbie Williams has revealed it took nearly dying in huge 2017 health scare to change his wild lifestyle.
The pop star, 45, spent seven days in an intensive care unit after abnormalities were found in his brain in September two years ago.
The Let Me Entertain You hitmaker now reveals he felt like a "cat with a billion lives" and worryingly believed he was "immortal" before suffering from the severe heath panic.
During a new interview with The Sun , Robbie recalls the scary experience and admits he "knows how lucky he is" after being close to death.
He described his attitude before the incident: "I’ve always thought I was protected and I’ve gone out of my way to test that hypothesis. Like a cat, I’ve had a billion lives.
"But this was the closest and scariest. I also had this f***ed up feeling that I was immortal.
The former Take That frontman went on to reveal how the health scare caused him to re-evaluate his life and thinks the experience is the reason he is "on such good form today."
He continued: "I’ve refocused my life and all the extremities in it. It takes nearly dying for someone like me to change the way they live."
The singer famously spent a week in intensive care after falling seriously ill while he was backstage at a gig in Zurich on September 2.
He previously described feeling his arm going numb and suffering from a severe headache.
The Angels singer was then forced to cancel his Russian tour dates due to the illness and spent spent two months recovering at his home in Los Angeles .
According to reports, Robbie took up yoga, meditation and a healthier lifestyle.
During the interview, Robbie also revealed how he finally feels happy, confident and at ease with being in the spotlight.
He has a busy month coming up with the release of his album No12 and his festive hit 'The Christmas Present', featuring an unusual collaboration with boxer Tyson Fury .
The singer - who has children Teddy, seven, Charlie, five, and Coco, 14 months, with wife Ayda Field , 40 - infamously checked into rehab in 2007 after taking speed, acid, heroin, cocaine and 'heart-stopping' amounts of prescription drugs.
The Take that star has now successfully been sober for 19 years and is no longer tempted by these addictions and jokes that he is now addicted to boxing and golf.


Indiana medical coverage lags surrounding states
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - Indiana had a higher percentage of people lacking medical insurance than any neighboring state in 2018.
The U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday that 8.3% of the state’s residents were uninsured last year, while only 5.4% were not covered in Michigan and 5.6% in Kentucky.
Director of the Community Research Institute at Purdue University Fort Wayne Rachel Blakeman says Kentucky and Michigan have been aggressively expanding Medicaid programs.
The Census Bureau said 43.5% of Kentuckians had Medicare or Medicaid last year. the figure for Indiana was 33.8%.
Blakeman says a strong economy has played a big role in lowering uninsured rates as more people are working for employers that provide insurance.
The Journal Gazette reports Ohio and Illinois also had lower uninsured rates than Indiana. Ohio was at 6.5% in 2018 and Illinois was at 7%.

Introducing the Command Line, Git and GitHub
February 10, 2016
What is Command Line? Why is it useful and how can a beginner learn it?
Most people are familiar with wallpapers, folders, icons, using the mouse and double-clicking. This is called graphical user interface (GUI) which is shown on the top right side of the image. You use these tools to navigate and control your computer. It's visually intuitive, simple to learn and use, you can open multiple programs and easily jump between the programs with a mouse.
Another way to navigate and control your computer is command line interface (CLI) which is shown on the top left side of the image. With command line you will only see text, use the keyboard and almost never touch the mouse. Since you have to memorize and use specific commands to do all the things you would normally do in GUI, it's generally harder to learn CLI. And not to mention some people are probably turned-off by all the text.
Although there some things you can do faster using GUI than CLI, for example switching between multiple programs, there are many things you can do with CLI which are almost impossible to do with GUI for example, list all the files you modified this month. Here is an interesting article that talks about the pros and cons of using GUI and CLI which you can find here.
I think GUI and CLI are both useful for different purposes so it's a good idea to learn both. If you're looking for a good resource to learn the command line check out the command line crash course.
What is Git? What is GitHub? Why are they useful?
Git is a free and open source version control system mostly used for software development. Version control is when you organize many versions and configurations of a software. I'm convinced version control is a wonderful tool to have and Git is one of the popular version control tools. Here are some benefits of using version control (Git):
- At any given time, you can see how much work is being done, which part of the source code is being worked on, when changes were made and by whom
- If you made changes and realized it was a mistake, you can revert back
- Helps you automatically keep track and organize multiple versions of your codes so you can focus on the more important tasks
- Not convinced and want more reasons to use version control? Check out Stack Overflow
Github is a web-based Git repository hosting service. Think of it as Git but on the web instead of on your computer with a few other features. An alternative to Github is BitBucket but what makes Github so powerful are 3 key features according to TechCrunch:
- Fork - copying a repository from one account to another, essentially taking someone else's project (with their permission)
- Pull request - requesting to have your changes added to the master project
- Merge - accepting a pull request and merging the new changes to the master project
These are the things I am learning this week: command line, Git, and Github, all of which developers probably use every day. I think it really helps to learn these tools and best practices from the start so we can get into the mindset of being a developer.

Django SuperTagging v0.5 documentation
SuperTagging came about when The Washington Times was looking for a cheap alternative method of tagging its contents. The previous method was the process of sending the content to a similar, but paid service, and that service would return keywords and the content in its marked up state. The content then was saved into our story body field with the links in place. These links went to a section of our site we then called “Themes”.
The first thing we wanted to get rid of was the monthly fee we had to paid for the service, we ended up finding OpenCalais, which gave us a free way to tag our content and also be able to easily markup our content with the links as before.
We now have a similar section on our site called Topics which is powered by SuperTagging, and most of our stories have the links to this section as before.
This section of the documentation, we will go through all the pieces of SuperTagging we use here at The Washington Times.
This first group of settings are the general settings.
SUPERTAGGING_DEBUG = False
SUPERTAGGING_ENABLED = True
SUPERTAGGING_AUTO_PROCESS = True
SUPERTAGGING_CALAIS_API_KEY = '...'
SUPERTAGGING_USE_QUEUE = True
Explanation:
We have USE_QUEUE set to True. Together with AUTO_PROCESS set to True, the objects are saved into the SuperTagQueue model for later processing. We run the management command provided by SuperTagging every 5 minutes.
This next group is what we call the processing settings for SuperTagging.
SUPERTAGGING_PROCESS_RELATIONS = True
SUPERTAGGING_PROCESS_TOPICS = True
SUPERTAGGING_RESOLVE_PROPERTY_KEYS = True
SUPERTAGGING_ONLY_NON_TAGGED_OBJECTS = False
SUPERTAGGING_MIN_RELEVANCE = 200
SUPERTAGGING_USE_FREEBASE = True
Explanation:
We process pretty much all OpenCalais gives us, that includes the Events/Facts (relations) and Topics, which are just tags but with no meta data.
We try to convert Calais ID’s to tag names (SUPERTAGGING_RESOLVE_PROPERTY_KEYS = True)
We tag all objects every time they are saved (SUPERTAGGING_ONLY_NON_TAGGED_OBJECTS = False). This is so we can efficiently markup up the content without worry of data being stale.
We only accept tags that have at least 200 relevance
We use Freebase to disambiguate the tag names.
Next group is the markup settings
SUPERTAGGING_MARKUP = True
SUPERTAGGING_MARKUP_EXCLUDES = ['his', 'her', 'he', 'she', 'him',]
SUPERTAGGING_MARKUP_CONTENT_CACHE_TIMEOUT = 3600
SUPERTAGGING_MARKUP_FIELD_SUFFIX = "tagged"
Explanation:
We markup all the objects that get processed by OpenCalais, below is an example of content after it has been marked up.

We exclude some markup values OpenCalais returns. OpenCalais returns exactly where, in the content sent over, the reference to the tags is. This will not just be the exact tag name but also references to the tag such as his, her, she. We found that there was just too many links in the content and needed a way to limit it. So combinations of SUPERTAGGING_MIN_RELEVANCE setting and SUPERTAGGING_MARKUP_EXCLUDES provided just that.
One of the things we did not like from the old tagging service, was that the links were added to the content directly. With SuperTagging the content field of your instance is never changed when your using the markup feature. Instead, another attribute is added to your instance during processing. SUPERTAGGING_MARKUP_FIELD_SUFFIX tells what the prefix for that field will be. For example, if we wanted to markup a field named ‘content’, after SuperTagging is done processing, another attribute will be available in that model called ‘tagged_content’. This attribute will contain the content in a marked up state. This way, if we ever decided to change the way we markup our data, or change the location of where the links in the content go, we don’t need to change the instance directly.

This next set of settings we use is to exclude the types (entities) and relation types (events/facts)

The ones that are commented out are the ones we do want. So so make sense of these to lists we only want the following:
This last section is the models we tag.
SUPERTAGGING_MODULES = {
'stories.story':
{'fields':(
{'name': 'body',
'process_type':'TEXT/HTML'},),
},
'massmedia.image':
{'fields':(
{'name': 'caption'},)
},
}
Explanation:
This we very basic, since we only tag one field for both our stories and images. One thing that will change in the future for The Washington Times, will be that we will only tag stories with particular set of origins. For example, we currently have the following origins for our stories:
STORY_ORIGIN_CHOICES = (
(0, 'Unknown'),
(1, 'Admin'),
(2, 'SaxoTech Editorial'),
(3, 'SaxoTech Online'),
(4, 'AP News'),
(5, 'Bernini'),
(6, 'AP NetNews'),
)
Some of these origins are not used anymore, and we will want to limit which ones we do tag, so eventually the SUPERTAGGING_MODULES will look like this:
SUPERTAGGING_MODULES = {
'stories.story':
{'fields':(
{'name': 'body',
'process_type':'TEXT/HTML'},),
'match_kwargs': {'origin__in': [1,2,3,5]}
},
'massmedia.image':
{'fields':(
{'name': 'caption'},)
},
}
If this was our current setup, we would not tag stories that had an origin of (0) Unknown, (4) AP News or (6) AP NetNews.

Container form authentication over secure connection
Show protected file
Before running this sample you need:
a. configure key-store; it is java platform mechanism for managing keys and certificates; Start by adding self
signed certificate:
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
This command should create .keystore file in user home directory; afterwards tomcat will look this file to find
certificates.
In production you typically import certificate signed by certificate authority
b. modify tomcat server.xml configuration by removing comments around https section. Tomcat will automatically load
certificate if
transport quarantee is set to confidential.

Resource Bundling
(See the SmooksResourceConfiguration class Javadoc before reading this).
.cdrar files are a Jar format file used to bundle Content Handlers/Resources and .cdrl files (optional).
While Content Delivery Resources can be loaded in the standard way from the classpath, it is thought that
this may be a cleaner way to deliver resources in a production environment.
The following illustration shows the internal structure of a sample .cdrar file.
Sample Configurations
The following are sample .cdrl files from the CNN.com sample.
Sample 1 - serialise-basic.cdrl
This .cdrl file targets some Serialization Units.
From this image you can see there are 3 SmooksResourceConfigurations defined in this archive.
It might occur to you that all 3 definitions are applicable to EMPTY elements on "wml" profile browsers.
To understand how the correct Serialisation Unit is selected, read about
Resource Targeting.
Sample 2 - assembly.cdrl
It targets a number of Assembly Units at some custom sample tags created to pull/scrape

Classes vs IDs in HTML/CSS
Best Practices
December 19, 2014
For this week's blogpost on HTML/CSS I decided to write about a topic that confused me; how to choose between Classes vs IDs when defining a CSS selector. I found the existence of both selectors confusing because they appeared to accomplish the same goal. CSS Selectors allow you to apply CSS changes to HTML elements with variating specificity; on that site we can see examples of the syntax for both CSS selectors. Both IDs and Classes are empty by default, browsers will not populate any CSS attributes to a simply named ID or Class. From my research, part of properly defining rules and classes is increasing performance and load times in a browser.
The ID selector is used for an individual, specific HTML element. Common IDs would be for the nav bar or the footer of a page. The nav bar might be an unordered list in its most basic HTML form, but it will likely get very different CSS treatment for usability. Here are some examples of how I used classes and ids in the header of my website here:
and the header:
The Class selector is used for elements in the HTML that are used more than one time. This may be the appearance of ordered and unordered lists. Classes may also be the appearance of menu buttons within a navigation bar. In the example above for my site the "topofthepop" is a class that captures three different elements. While there may be only one nav bar with an ID, the links within the nav bar may displayed using a "button" class. In the example above there are three IDs within the class defined as "topofthepop." The "gitkit," "contact," and "blogpen" IDs only appear once in the entire HTML document and describe the unique elements even within the "topofthepop."
Even the images above are displayed using classes by the way! in my blog-template and css stylesheets I use different classes for long and short images. Like this (long image):
Here are a few best practices I thought of when using IDs and Classes:
- If more than one element will need the same styling, use a class.
- If only one element will use the styling then its best to use an ID selector.
- Use names that defines the function of the HTML the class or id encompass, not just the appearance. For example: "navigation bar" vs "royal blue."
- Try not to use classes and IDs to replicate HTML elements like h1, h2 and p.
- Rather than overuse classes, try to use div to improve performance.
The best practices above offer simple methods to creating classes and IDS as CSS selectors. Perhaps the easiest two questions to ask are:
- Will this CSS selector be used more than once in our HTML file?
- What is a functionally descriptive name for the CSS selector?
When creating CSS selectors it is important to be thorough and clean. Having too many nested Classes and IDs might affect site performance and loading times. Also it is a best practice to not replicate HTML elements like headers and paragraphs to improve performance.

Violent thug who battered pensioner, 71, on the loose after escaping prison
Police have issued an urgent public appeal to find Shane Douglas, 41, who was serving 10 years for aggravated burglary at HMP Springhill in Buckinghamshire
by Brendan McFaddenPolice are urgently appealing for help to capture a violent thug who has escaped from prison in Buckinghamshire and have warned people 'not to approach him'.
Shane Douglas, 41, was serving 10 years for aggravated burglary after battering a 71-year-old man in his own home during a burglary .
Douglas who fled from HMP Springhill in Buckinghamshire yesterday is described as black, around 6ft 5ins tall with a stocky build.
He is known to frequent the Hammersmith and Brixton areas of London and is clean shaven, with a cropped haircut or shaved head.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Justin Harris said: “I am appealing for information which will help us find Shane Douglas.
“If you see him, please do not approach him, instead call us on 999.
“Anyone with any other details should call us on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference<PHONE_NUMBER>4.”
Douglas was convicted of breaking into an elderly couple's home in Fullham, west London and stealing a gold Rolex watch of great sentimental value to the man he attacked.
In the raid he demanded cash and jewellery from the elderly man and his 63-year-old wife.
When the man confronted him, Douglas threw him to the ground and punched and kicked him, the Sun Online reports
He also stole a gold Rolex watch from the victim, which holds great sentimental value.

I was diagnosed with ADD at about age 7, and took a countless variety of medications for it during my childhood (ritalin, concerta, etc.). When I was twelve I was prescribed Adderall, and it helped me immensely through middle school and beginning high school. I grew up in a good environment with a supportive family. Everything seemed fine except that I was insecure and didn't have many friends. Having taken stimulants since I was a preteen, I had no appetite and figured I was naturally underweight. I sailed through life not really knowing who I was inside, what my appearance was, or how to have a social life. I was so innocent!
I went off to school in 2004 and it was the first time I was away from my parents. Around that time there was some controversy in Canada about Adderall causing 'heart e friends, I am daring and successful. If I hadn't experienced life without it tcomplications and sudden death' so my parents freaked out and switched me to Straterra. I didn't really care. So long story short, that first year I went crazy: I gained 25-30 lbs, started smoking pot, just didn't take care of myself and pretty much messed up my year. My parents and I weren't on speaking terms, it was the most terrible time of my life. When I went home for spring break I found an old bottle of Adderall and took one 30mg capsule. And DAMN, that's how I became addicted.
I took it in secret one morning and then went to the mall with my parents. I had forgotten at one point that I took it, and didn't really notice a change. I didn't eat anything for lunch, the idea of food was boring. I walked through the department store and felt the fabric of the jackets. Oh they were so soft! And the colors, it was so bright. And the smells and the sounds were so amazing and intriguing. My parents' talking became uninteresting and every comeback I made to them was very deep. They looked at me strangely. I felt overloaded with thoughts, a tidal wave of everything I had messed up just swept through my mind. I was so mad at myself, I had to fix it, I had to start NOW!  NO NO NO! I told my parents we had to leave for home right then, and I started crying. They were freaked out and worried, and I was too, but I didn't tell them that I took the drug.
I went home and played music for hours. I paced back and forth thinking and making up song lyrics and singing them out loud, and I did pilates exercises until I was in pain but I COULDN'T stop. I typed a journal entry about my theories of life and didn't look away from the computer screen for about two hours. I was so thirsty and hungry but I couldn't eat my dinner. I tried to sleep but only layed in bed for seven hours, crying every now and then because I was so tired but couldn't sleep.
This experience was terrible because I took way too much. Regardless, I suffered terrible depression after it wore off and continued to take it. The last term of school I scheduled my entire life around what days I would take it. I would hide the bottle in a different place every day afraid someone would find it. I became utterly obsessed with it. I was terrified of what would happen when it was gone. I was so addicted that I was killing myself.
During the summer I became an alcoholic because there was nothing else to do,. without my little pill friend I had no motivation. I ruined a year of my life because of my foolishness. It wasn't until I begged to become prescribed to Adderall that I started to turn my life around (ironically).
 I DO have ADD, and it helps me in ways it can't help other people, but it still messes me up when I abuse it. I am one of those people who can only learn things the hard way, and only by hitting rock bottom did I learn who I was. Now I havhen I would still be a porcelain doll, a marionette whose strings were pulled by parents and teachers, and afraid to take any risks in my life. I grew up in that year of pain, and I came out of it a strong woman.
I am a musician, a writer, an artist. Adderall sure makes me focus, but it doesn't cause me to create beautiful things, it only helps push me. The beauty lies inside of me, and the lucidity I get from Adderall is an easy way to get motivated and it's pretty fun. But not every experience is good.
Yesterday I went to my friend's house and in her living room there were two of her friends, one of them was sketching a photograph and the other was riveted to the TV screen with her face about two feet from it. The host was cutting lines of Adderall with her school ID. She offered it to me and I declined. They don't know I'm prescribed, no one does, and that's the best way to be. I smiled at them, they were all seriously tweaked out, especially the sketching girl because she was pressing the pencil down so hard her hands were shaking and she kept complaining about biting the inside of her mouth. I got her some water and told her I know how she feels. I felt so proud of myself for turning it down, and without seeing the consequences of messing up my life I would have never been that strong.

Tom Hanks finds out he’s related to Mr. Rogers
(CNN) - Actor Tom Hanks just found out Sunday that he's related to Fred Rogers, the man who played Mr. Rogers on the children's tv show.
The two are sixth cousins, Ancestry.com discovered. The actors share a fifth great grandfather, who immigrated to America from Germany in the 18th Century.
Hanks is portraying Rogers in the upcoming film, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” He said he didn’t know they were related when he took the role.
“It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” hits theaters on Nov. 22.

Provides the core set of base classes for the JavaFX Scene Graph API. A scene graph is a tree-like data structure, where each item in the tree has zero or one parent and zero or more children.
The two primary classes in this package are:
Scene
– Defines the scene to be rendered. It
contains a fill
variable that specifies the background of
the scene, width
and height
variables that
specify the size of the scene, and a content
sequence
that contains a list of "root" Nodes
to be rendered onto
the scene. This sequence of Nodes
is the scene graph for
this Scene
.
A Scene
is rendered onto a Stage
, which is the
top-level container for JavaFX content.Node
– Abstract base class for all nodes in the
scene graph. Each node is either a "leaf" node with no child nodes or
a "branch" node with zero or more child nodes. Each node in the tree
has zero or one parent. Only a single node within each tree in the
scene graph will have no parent, which is often referred to as the
"root" node.
There may be several trees in the scene graph. Some trees may be part of
a Scene
, in which case they are eligible to be displayed.
Other trees might not be part of any Scene
.Branch nodes are of type Parent
or
subclasses thereof.
Leaf nodes are classes such as
Rectangle
, Text
,
ImageView
, MediaView
,
or other such leaf classes which cannot have children.
A node may occur at most once anywhere in the scene
graph. Specifically, a node must appear no more than once in the children
list of a Parent
or as the clip of a
Node
.
See the Node
class for more details on these restrictions.
An example JavaFX scene graph is as follows:
package example; import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.Group; import javafx.scene.paint.Color; import javafx.scene.shape.Circle; import javafx.scene.text.Text; import javafx.scene.text.Font; public class Example extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage stage) { Group root = new Group(); Scene scene = new Scene(root, 200, 150); scene.setFill(Color.LIGHTGRAY); Circle circle = new Circle(60, 40, 30, Color.GREEN); Text text = new Text(10, 90, "JavaFX Scene"); text.setFill(Color.DARKRED); Font font = new Font(20); text.setFont(font); root.getChildren().add(circle); root.getChildren().add(text); stage.setScene(scene); stage.show(); } public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); } }
The above example will generate the following image:
The Node
class defines a traditional computer graphics "local"
coordinate system in which the x
axis increases to the right and the
y
axis increases downwards. The concrete node classes for shapes
provide variables for defining the geometry and location of the shape
within this local coordinate space. For example,
Rectangle
provides x
, y
,
width
, height
variables while
Circle
provides centerX
, centerY
,
and radius
.
Any Node
can have transformations applied to it. These include
translation, rotation, scaling, or shearing transformations. A transformation
will change the position, orientation, or size of the coordinate system as
viewed from the parent of the node that has been transformed.
See the Node
class for more information on transformations.
Since every Node
has transformations, every Node's geometric
bounding rectangle can be described differently depending on whether
transformations are accounted for or not.
Each Node
has the following properties which
specifies these bounding rectangles:
boundsInLocal
– specifies the bounds of the
Node
in untransformed local coordinates.boundsInParent
– specifies the bounds of the
Node
after all transformations have been applied.
It is called "boundsInParent" because the
rectangle will be relative to the parent's coordinate system.layoutBounds
– specifies the rectangular bounds of
the Node
that should be used as the basis for layout
calculations, and may differ from the visual bounds of the node. For
shapes, Text, and ImageView, the default layoutBounds
includes
only the shape geometry.See the Node
class for more information on bounding rectangles.
The JavaFX Scene Graph provides the facility to style nodes using
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
The Node
class contains id
, styleClass
, and
style
variables are used by CSS selectors to find nodes
to which styles should be applied. The Scene
class contains
the stylesheets
variable which is a sequence of URLs that
reference CSS style sheets that are to be applied to the nodes within
that scene.
For further information about CSS, how to apply CSS styles to nodes, and what properties are available for styling, see the CSS Reference Guide.

3D Camera
问题描述 :
triangle. The camera’s visual range could be represented by three RAYS. As the figure shows, the camera’s visual
range could be represented by three rays OA, OB, OC. Note that the visual range is INFINITE.
Now, we have a camera with known visual range and a triangle DEF in the space. The inventor wants to know if the
camera can see the triangle, in other words, if there is at least one point of the triangle strict in the visual range.
输入:
The first line of each test case contains 12 integers: Ox, Oy, Oz, Ax, Ay, Az, Bx, By, Bz, Cx, Cy, Cz. The second line
contains 9 integers: Dx, Dy, Dz, Ex, Ey, Ez, Fx, Fy, Fz.
All the integers in a line are separated by a whitespace.
[Technical Specification]
T is an integer, and T <= 1000.
The input guaranteed that if you look from O, three points ABC are always arranged counterclockwise.
All integers EXCEPT T is in the range of [-100,100].
We guarantee the camera and the triangle are not degenerate.

THE USUAL SUSPECTS (1995)
Film Review by Michael Chen
Rating: **** (out of ****) Rating: 9.5 (out of 10) Director: Bryan Singer Starring: Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palminteri, Kevin Pollak, Pete Postlethwaite, Kevin Spacey Screenplay by: Christopher McQuarrie Duration: 105 minutes
If plagiarism were a crime in film techniques, director Bryan Singer would be imprisoned for life. Screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie would be serving a similar sentence. However, since it is not, Singer and MacQuarrie (who have joined forces again after the not-so-successful PUBLIC ACCESS) took advantage and duplicated nothing but the best. From CASABLANCA to PULP FICTION, and even a version of a line (intentionally or otherwise) from BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID.
The opening credits run while we see water, discernable by the reflection of streetlights, quietly flowing in the background. It is dark, and a chilling melody creeps. When the formalities conclude, we are aboard a ship. It is ‘last night'. We meet a couple of people who have a brief conversation. Soon after, the ship explodes, and we the audience have absolutely no idea what's going on, but are dying to know more.
The principal story starts ‘6 weeks ago', and revolves around five hardened criminals, who seem unable to escape from the law – even if they haven't done anything. The five are round up on suspicion of hijacking a truck carrying gun parts. When they are inevitably released they team up to plan and execute crimes – including revenge. But they soon sense that someone is controlling them – someone with power – knowing their every move. In amongst all this is a cop, at ‘present day', who is obsessed with pinning down one of those five usual suspects – an ex-cop.
There should not be more revealed about the plot, as this is a story that has a twist-in-the-end. However, even if you can anticipate the surprise, there are copious amounts of clever directing (especially the final sequence) from fresh-face Bryan Singer with interesting camera angles that upholds the film. Even though Singer borrows heavily from prominent directors, he adds ingenious touches of his own for greater effect. Along with the adroit directing there is nail-biting suspense, slow-motion action, and superb acting. Not one actor is out of place. All five criminals are distinct, have different fields of expertise, and all are characterised brilliantly. The mania of McManus (Baldwin), the calm authority of Keaton (Byrne), the insouciance of Hockney (Pollak), the shadowy cowardice of Kint (Spacey), and the unfathomable speech of Fenster (Benicio Del Toro). Then there's the assertiveness of Special Agent Kujan (Palminteri), and the unquestioning loyalty of Kobayashi (Postlethwaite) to his master, and other absorbing characters portrayed by Suzi Amis, Giancarlo Esposito, and Dan Hedaya. Kevin Spacey is the prize in this colossal pack, and was honoured with an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. McQuarrie also picked up an Oscar for his captivating original screenplay.
John Ottman was responsible for the expert editing. Believe it or not he also composed the enthralling original score. From the first note of ‘Main Theme' to the last note of ‘The Greatest Trick' the music offers substantial support for the film's atmosphere. Ottman was also the editor and composer of PUBLIC ACCESS.
Many people oppose watching a film with a twist a second time. I disagree. By watching it again you can observe how the director and the screenwriter have hidden and revealed clues, how they have tried to steer the audience away from the ending. First time is for entertainment. Second time is for art. This film is certainly worthwhile to see again. To date, I have watched it five times. (Two of those five times I thought, ‘well, I'll just watch about half-an-hour,' but ended up watching the entire film because it is so entertaining.) I'm not exactly a noir fan, so it is assured that this particular crime film appeals to a wider audience.
One minor thing I would like to point out is that the hospitalised Hungarian's speech should have been subtitled because it is of some importance.
THE USUAL SUSPECTS has a skilled director, an engrossing screenplay, and ten praiseworthy performances. The film runs a fast 105 minutes. Don't miss a minute of it.
****: Classic ***˝: Highly recommended; Excellent ***: Recommended **˝: Okay; Passable **: Time-Killer *˝: Ill-advised cure for boredom *: Keep an alarm clock beside you, also usually suitable to end a relationship ˝: Try to restrain yourself from inflicting pain to anything nearby, including yourself and the screen, on realisation of how much time and money you have wasted Zero: No comment

If then it gets known that these two had been guilty of sin, let two others stand forth in their places, nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right. Let them swear by Allah (saying): "We affirm that our testimony is truer than that of both of them, and that we have not trespassed (the truth), for then indeed we should be of the wrong-doers." |
| 005:107 Maulana | : |
If it be discovered that they are guilty of a sin, two others shall stand up in their place from among those against whom the first two have been guilty of a sin; so they shall swear by Allah: Certainly our testimony is truer than the testimony of those two, and We have not exceeded the limit, for then surely We should be unjust. |
| 005:107 Pickthal | : |
But then, if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them merit (the suspicion of) sin, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear by Allah, (saying): Verily our testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not transgressed (the bounds of duty), for them indeed we should be of the evil-doers. |
| 005:107 Rashad | : |
If the witnesses are found to be guilty of bias, then two others shall be asked to take their places. Choose two persons who were victimized by the first witnesses, and let them swear by GOD: "Our testimony is more truthful than theirs; we will not be biased. Otherwise, we will be transgressors." |
| 005:107 Sarwar | : |
If their honesty is challenged, two others from the relatives of the deceased should swear in the same way and testify to the bequest saying, "We swear by God that our testimony is the true one. We do not transgress in the matter lest we become unjust ones." |
| 005:107 Shakir | : |
Then if it becomes known that they both have been guilty of a sin, two others shall stand up in their place from among those who have a claim against them, the two nearest in kin; so they two should swear by Allah: Certainly our testimony is truer than the testimony of those two, and we have not exceeded the limit, for then most surely we should be of the unjust. |
| 005:107 Sherali | : |
But if it be discovered that the two witnesses are guilty of sin, then two others shall take their place from amongst those against whom the former two witnesses - who were in a better position to give true evidence - had deposed, and the two latter witnesses shall swear by ALLAH, saying, 'Surely our testimony is truer than the testimony of the former two, and we have not been unfair in any way; for then, indeed, we should be of the unjust.' |

But if it gets known that these two were guilty of the sin (of perjury), let two others stand forth in their places,- nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right: let them swear by Allah: "We affirm that our witness is truer than that of those two, and that we have not trespassed (beyond the truth): if we did, behold! the wrong be upon us!" |
