RU486

Posted By wassim in Education/Teaching

A common mistake regarding RU 486 is saying that it decreases the secretion of progesterone.
RU 486 does not interfere with the secretion of progesterone.
It is an antagonist of progesterone, which means that it simply blocks progesterone receptors and prevents progesterone from acting on its target cells without actually lowering its concentration in the blood.

ScrollPane AS3 issues

Posted By wassim in Education/Teaching

I had some free time to experiment and decided to port an application I wrote earlier to AS3. The scrollPane component is at the heart of this application and much to my surprise, the AS3 version has almost the same erratic behavior as the AS2 version when it comes to the scrollbars appearing when needed. It seems that we also need to find workarounds for the \”much faster, much cleaner version\” of actionscript i.e. AS3.\r\n

More About this in the coming days.\r\n

A year has passed…

Posted By wassim in Education/Teaching, Wassim

I read this quote on a site and immediately remembered a student of mine who passed away last year in July, here’s what it says:

“Nous partirons l’un après l’autre, et ceux qui restent porteront la mémoire de ceux qui ont disparu.”

Which means:

We leave one after the other, those who remain hold the memory of those who passed away.

Indeed, we still remember you, Nadim…
