0.99991	I have just spent a morning looking at new British Library online service, British Newspapers 1800–1900, and I have seen the future. For the first time ever, local historians and other users, regardless of their location, are able to explore over two million newspaper pages from forty-nine national and regional UK titles, all at the click of a button. The online search facilities are very easy to use and enable the newspapers and periodicals to be searched in microscopic depth. I searched not just by place names, but street names as well, for places whose newspapers were not included in this first group of 19th century newspapers and, every time, some entries were found: there were 8,512 entries for 'Lenton' and 274 entries for 'New Lenton', the part of Lenton where I live. I found 8,512 entries for 'West Bromwich Albion' and 1,016 for 'Wembley'. I also searched by dates for late-June in different years throughout the 19th century and came across lots of topical stories which would not be out of place in 2009. In other words, the fact that a 19th century newspaper from your town or city is not included should not deter you from visiting (and using) this new database. I picked a few places at random and came up with the following hits: Norwich (179,328); Hereford (113,975); Swindon (27,028); Leeds (713,372); Braintree (7,296); Croydon (104,440) and Weymouth (40,220). All places which are miles from any of the towns whose newspapers are in the database. It is also easy to use: under the 'Advanced search' heading, type in the location and it will then show you the total hits divided into five groups: advertising, arts & sports, business, news and people. It's most user-friendly online database I have ever used. Among my New Lenton finds was a long and detailed account in the Derby Mercury, dated 26 May 1841, of a 'Wilful Murder' in New Lenton of an unknown baby, found in a local dyke by two men. What attracted my attention was the account of how the men saw and followed footprints until they disappeared in a bed of nettles. A fourteen year old, James Jackson, who was with the men, made a lengthy statement at the inquest about what had happened and is quoted as saying 'I feel certain that the mark at the bottom of the dyke was made by a woman's shoe, which had not nails or tacks in it. I saw the constable take the measure of the foot-mark, and thought it was a rather large foot'. The matter of fact way in which this is reported suggests to me that the constable was doing something that was expected of him. If so, then forensic work by early-Victorian policemen must have been more common than many of us realise. An entry in the Preston Chronicle from 25 June 1859 on 'Election Expenses' tells you just how far we haven't come in the last 150 years. The article addresses the issue at some length: 'Much as has been done by legislation to put a stop to corrupt expenditure, there would appear to be a large door yet open for corruption. The numerous election petitions that have been presented to the present parliament allege that corrupt agencies are at work in many boroughs; and should the inquiry which these petitions demand be gone on with, we have the disclosure of pretty doings in many constituencies… The Corrupt Practices at Elections Act, which was passed in 1854, has done some little in checking expenditure, but is deficient in several particulars.' After citing several examples of 'corrupt practices' in different parts of England, the story concludes by saying 'It would be as well to legalise bribery at once, as to permit the present system of paying for votes under another name'. No doubt a search of the site will find similar reports in other newspapers, although I came across this one purely by chance. On a more cheerful note, I liked the story in the Manchester Times (above right), dated 30 November 1900, about the 'Stockport Infirmary Extension' with all its new facilities, which must have seemed fantastic to those reading the report at the time. The fact that we have been able to download the page, then capture the news story for you to see, tells you just how good this new British Library online newspaper search facility is. Again, by chance, I found a full-page, unsigned, story in the The Graphic (left), dated 6 September 1889, 'Through London by Omnibus', in which the writer, at first, deluges his reader with a mass of fact and figures about London, before moving on to to describe the extent of 'Greater London' and some of its less famous landmarks, as well its well known buildings. However he argues that all this information tells you little if you do not discover London for yourself and says: 'The only way to gain a true and adequate impression of the metropolis of the world is to take it by degrees, and first to familiarise our minds to it by the easy study of its great central thoroughfares from the top of an omnibus'. As someone who, back in the 1950s, explored London from the top of buses and trolleybuses on countless weekends, and during school holidays, with the help of a bus map and a 2/6d 'Red Rover' ticket, this article spoke to me and described a London both recognisable, and alien, at the same time. I am sure this wonderful online collection of 19th century UK newspapers is full of such articles and stories waiting to be discovered by local historians and others. I look forward to other newspapers being included in the database. At current prices, it will cost £750millions so I know it will take a long time but, just think, one day every newspaper in the British Library's collection of newspaper and periodicals will be searchable in this way. As for the money, in the order of things, given what our government does spend money on, this is an affordable project. I may not live to see it completed, but I have seen enough to be excited and to marvel at what will be. Now, the good news and the bad news. You can search the site for free, but downloads have to be paid for. A 24-hour pass (up to 100 downloads) costs £6.99 or you can buy a seven-day pass (up to 200 downloads) for £9.99. Access to The Graphic and The Penny Illustrated Paper is free.
0.999999	To produce a successful human colony on the moon, people must be able to imagine what the successful colony is like before it is built. The division of labor between remote controlled devices and people doing hands on work should be this: Robots will do all work outside in the vacuum and robots will do routine easily automated industrial tasks indoors. People will work inside pressurized environments doing tasks that are not easy to automate. Such tasks include analysis of samples brought in from the lunar surface for scientific and economic significance, analysis of production samples to determine the efficiency of industry, repair of machinery, and fabrication of small numbers of devices. When some of this work involves working with machines or materials that would be harmed by exposure to oxygen or moisture, a person can wear a Self-Contained Isolated Breathing Apparatus ([[Self-Contained Isolated Breathing Apparatus\|SCIBA]]) in a compartment pressurized with inert gas or some other non-oxidizing gas. A SCIBA does not restrict a person's dexterity and mobility as much as a space suit does, because it is worn in a one atmosphere pressure environment instead of in a vacuum environment; and so has no tendency to blow up like a balloon and assume one particular shape. Also there is no long preparation time of breathing low pressure pure oxygen before using a SCIBA. It works with a breathing gas that is at one atmosphere pressure, 20% oxygen just like the inhabited portions of the colony. If for any reason a task usually handled by remote control from Earth is not so handled, the task can be undertaken by remote control by a person on the moon, or it can be handled by a person in a surface vehicle using attached manipulators.

You can help Lunarpedia by restructuring or rephrasing it. The entire set of space suits would be an encumbrance to a moon colony. They are more suited to robots than to people. If a ditch needs to be dug on the moon's surface, a remote controlled power shovel is the tool to use. If a screw needs to be turned in the vacuum outside, a remote controlled screw driver on the end of a remote controlled robot arm is needed. Indoors, a man uses a screwdriver without a space suit. If a colonist needs to move from one place to another across the moon's surface, a vehicle with a pressurized cabin and an air lock that can mate to the air locks of colony living quarters is preferred as transportation over a space suit. This is described in Air Lock to Air Lock Transfers#Air lock to Air Lock Transfers, just ignore the mention of a space suit in the description. Being able to scratch ones elbow and otherwise be comfortable and able to move quickly are advantages of a motorized vehicle with a pressurized cabin. For redundancy a vehicle can have two sections separated by a set of pressure tight doors with independent sets of legs and life support equipment for each section. That kind of redundancy is hard to get with a space suit. When people arrive on the moon by rocket, They should be in a passenger compartment that doubles as a land vehicle. A mobile platform from the colony should come up to the descent vehicle so the cabin can detach from the lander, walk onto the platform, and be lowered to the ground. Then it can walk to the colony air locks. To produce a successful human colony on the moon, people must be able to imagine what the successful colony is like before it is built. The division of labor between remote controlled devices and people doing hands on work should be this: Robots will do all work outside in the vacuum and robots will do routine easily automated industrial tasks indoors. People will work inside pressurized environments doing tasks that are not easy to automate. Such tasks include analysis of samples brought in from the lunar surface for scientific and economic significance, analysis of production samples to determine the efficiency of industry, repair of machinery, and fabrication of small numbers of devices. When some of this work involves working with machines or materials that would be harmed by exposure to oxygen or moisture, a person can wear a Self-Contained Isolated Breathing Apparatus (SCIBA) in a compartment pressurized with inert gas or some other non-oxidizing gas.

Up to two adults will be allowed to visit another household for social or care reasons, and children will be able to join them. But people have been urged to continue to socially distance, be extra careful when visiting those aged over 70, and to stay at home if they have symptoms. Coronavirus: The infection numbers in real time NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian warned the number of infections in the state would inevitably rise as restrictions are eased. "I anticipate that in May, it won't just be a handful of new cases we get every day because when you've got this increase in activity, unfortunately you will see a rise in the number of cases," Ms Berejiklian said. "That's why we took time in April whilst we had those restrictions to beef up health supplies, capacity in hospitals to deal with extra cases, but also to learn from the data we've had. "That's definitely the headspace we're in - what can we lift? When is it a safe time to lift them? What can boost jobs? That's a priority for us." Coronavirus lockdowns unlocked: Which countries are easing restrictions Australia, which closed its external and internal borders, imposed an early shutdown of businesses and issued strict social distancing rules, has avoided the high numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths seen in some other countries. State governments have set up coronavirus testing centres and want people to take tests regardless of whether they have symptoms.
0.991535	An axial fan is a device that creates airflow by using a motor to rotate an impeller housed within a frame. The circulating blades draw air into the fan and expel it on the same parallel axis as the spinning shaft. Hence the name axial fan.RS Components offer a range of high-quality axial fans from leading brands including Sanyo Denki, ebm-papst, Sunon and of course RS PRO What does an axial fan do? The primary function of the axial fan is to cool. Fans work by drawing air across a surface to cool it. Fans are also excellent at moving large volumes of hot or warm air away, also creating a cooling effect. Why do we need axial fans? Axial fans are a vital component ensuring the smooth operation of machinery and electronic equipment. Keeping equipment cool is essential as overheating often leads to serious complications including premature deterioration of parts, shorter life spans and sometimes, a complete failure. What axial fan is best for me? The type of axial fan depends entirely on application and environment. Several factors must be taken into consideration when selecting the most suitable. Some key points to consider are:Supply voltage - Does the fan need to be AC or DC operation?Fan speed - High or low speed? What rpm is required?Noise level - Does the application require a silent fan?Static Pressure - What is the resistance to the airflow?Ingress protection - Does the axial fan need to be IP55 rated or above?Bearing Type - Sleeve or ball bearing?Air-flow - What volume of air is needed to cool the area?Shape - Square flanged or circular? Applications Axial fans offer a cost-effective solution without having to sacrifice quality or reliability. For this reason, axial fans are used in a wide range of cooling and ventilation applications across almost every industry. Some of the most come places you will find them in use are:Electrical cabinets and enclosures - Axial fans are installed to keep components cool preventing premature failure.Server racks - Silent axial fans are used to keep expensive equipment like hubs, routers and patch panels cool.Production Lines - Areas where motors are constantly in use, prolonging motor and gearbox life.PCs and laptops - Compact computer fans are used in PC desktop towers and to keep internal components cool in laptops.Ventilation - Axial fans are also used to remove large volumes of warm air from an enclosed area to keep temperatures stabilized.
0.973464	When using a large number of Virtual Hosts, Apache may run out of available file descriptors (sometimes called file handles ) if each Virtual Host specifies different log files. The total number of file descriptors used by Apache is one for each distinct error log file, one for every other log file directive, plus 10-20 for internal use. Unix operating systems limit the number of file descriptors that may be used by a process; the limit is typically 64, and may usually be increased up to a large hard-limit. Although Apache attempts to increase the limit as required, this may not work if: Your system does not provide the setrlimit() system call. The setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) call does not function on your system (such as Solaris 2.3) The number of file descriptors required exceeds the hard limit. Your system imposes other limits on file descriptors, such as a limit on stdio streams only using file descriptors below 256. (Solaris 2) In the event of problems you can: Reduce the number of log files; don't specify log files in the <VirtualHost> sections, but only log to the main log files. (See Splitting up your log files, below, for more information on doing this.) If you system falls into 1 or 2 (above), then increase the file descriptor limit before starting Apache, using a script like #!/bin/sh ulimit -S -n 100 exec httpd Splitting up your log files If you want to log multiple virtual hosts to the same log file, you may want to split up the log files afterwards in order to run statistical analysis of the various virtual hosts. This can be accomplished in the following manner. First, you will need to add the virtual host information to the log entries. This can be done using the LogFormat directive, and the %v variable. Add this to the beginning of your log format string: LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" vhost CustomLog logs/multiple_vhost_log vhost This will create a log file in the common log format, but with the canonical virtual host (whatever appears in the ServerName directive) prepended to each line. (See mod_log_config for more about customizing your log files.) When you wish to split your log file into its component parts (one file per virtual host) you can use the program split-logfile to accomplish this. You'll find this program in the support directory of the Apache distribution. Run this program with the command: split-logfile < /logs/multiple_vhost_log This program, when run with the name of your vhost log file, will generate one file for each virtual host that appears in your log file. Each file will be called hostname.log. Available Languages: en \| fr \| ja \| ko \| tr Comments Notice: This is not a Q&A section.

0.999986	Answer: Often, people experience anxiety when they think about the future; however, it does not have to be that way. For those who know God, thoughts of the future bring eagerness and comfort. For example, describing a woman who knows and trusts God, Proverbs 31:25 says, “She smiles at the future.” Two key thoughts to keep in mind about the future are, first, God is sovereign and in control over everything. He knows the future and absolutely controls what will happen. The Bible says, “Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’ . . . Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it” (Isaiah 46:9–11, emphasis added). The second thing to remember about the future is that the Bible outlines what will occur in “the end times” or “latter days.” Because the Bible is God’s revelation to humankind, and because God knows and controls the future (as Isaiah says above), then it stands to reason that when the Bible speaks about what will occur in the future, we can believe it. Concerning predictions about the future, the Bible says, “No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God" (2 Peter 1:21). This truth is evident in the fact that, unlike the false prophecies made in other religions or by individuals such as Nostradamus, the Bible has never once been wrong – every time the Bible has predicted a future event, it happened exactly as Scripture said it would. When considering how to understand and survive in the end times, answer these three questions: 1. How should I interpret what the Bible says about the future (biblical prophecy)? 2. What does the Bible say will happen in the end times? 3. How should what the Bible says about the future affect the way I live today? How to Interpret Biblical Prophecy There are a number of viewpoints on what methods should be used when interpreting passages concerning the end times. While there are good people espousing different beliefs, there is good reason to believe that biblical prophecy should be interpreted (1) literally, (2) with a futurist view, and (3) in what is called a “premillennial” manner. Encouraging a literal interpretation is the fact that there are over 300 prophecies that concern the first coming of Christ, all of which were literally fulfilled. The predictions surrounding the Messiah’s birth, life, betrayal, death and resurrection were not fulfilled allegorically or in a spiritual manner. Jesus literally was born in Bethlehem, performed miracles, was betrayed by a close friend for 30 pieces of silver, was pierced in His hands and feet, died with thieves, was buried in a rich man’s tomb, and was resurrected three days after His death. All these details were predicted hundreds of years before Jesus was born and were literally fulfilled. And, while there is symbolism used in various prophecies (e.g., dragons, horsemen, etc.), all of it portrays literal beings or events, in much the same way as Jesus is spoken of as a lion and a lamb. Regarding a futurist view, the Bible clearly states that prophetic books like Daniel and Revelation contain not only accounts of historical events, but also predictions of future events. After John was given his messages for the churches of his day, he received visions concerning what would occur in the end times. John was told, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things” (Revelation 4:1, emphasis added). Perhaps an even stronger argument for a futurist view involves the promises God made to Abraham (cf. Genesis 12 & 15) concerning the land of Israel. Since God’s covenant with Abraham was unconditional, and His promises have not yet been fulfilled to Abraham’s descendants, then a futurist view of the promises to Israel is warranted. Lastly, with respect to prophecy being interpreted in a “premillennial” manner, this means that, first, the church will be Raptured, then the world will experience a seven-year Tribulation period, and then Jesus Christ will return to reign over the earth for 1,000 literal years (Revelation 20). But what does the Bible say will happen before then? What Does the Bible Say Will Happen in the End Times? Sadly, the Bible predicts a downward spiral of catastrophes, human sin, and religious apostasy before Christ returns. Paul writes, “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. . . . Evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:1, 13). The world will continue to reject God, His Word, and His people. Some day in the future – a day no one knows – God will end the Church Age which began in the first century on Pentecost (cf. Acts 2) with an event known as the Rapture. At that time, God removes all believers in Christ from the earth in preparation for His final judgments. Of the Rapture, Paul says, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:14–18). The erosion of peace and increase of turmoil that precedes the Rapture will reach epic proportions when untold numbers of people disappear from the earth. Such an event will cause panic and demands for a strong leader who will have answers to all the world’s problems. Preparation for this leader has been in progress for some time, as historian Arnold Toynbee has noted, “By forcing on mankind more and more lethal weapons, and at the same time making the world more and more interdependent economically, technology has brought mankind to such a degree of distress that we are ripe for the deifying of any new Caesar who might succeed in giving the world unity and peace.” Out of a revived Roman Empire, one that is organized in a European ten-constituency fashion (cf. Daniel 7:24; Revelation 13:1), the Antichrist will arise and sign a covenant with the nation of Israel, which will officially begin God’s prophetic seven-year countdown to Christ’s second coming (cf. Daniel 9:27). For three and a half years, the Antichrist will reign over the earth and promise peace, but it is a false peace which will entrap the people of the earth. The Bible says, “While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!’ then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Wars, earthquakes, and famines will escalate (cf. Matthew 24:7) until the end of the Antichrist’s 3.5-year reign, when he will enter a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself to be God and demand worship (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Matthew 24:15). It is at that point that the true God responds to the challenge. For another 3.5 years, a Great Tribulation will occur, such as has never before been seen. Jesus predicted, “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short” (Matthew 24:21–22). Untold loss of life and destruction of the earth will occur during the Great Tribulation. Also, large numbers will come to faith in Christ, yet many will do so at cost of their lives. God will still be in control as He gathers the unbelieving armies of the world in order to judge them. Of this event, the prophet Joel wrote, “I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people” (Joel 3:2). John records the battle this way: “And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon [Satan] and out of the mouth of the beast [the Antichrist] and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. . . . And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon” (Revelation 16:13–16). At this point, the Messiah Jesus will return, destroy His enemies, and claim the world, which is rightfully His. “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, ‘KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.’ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in mid-heaven, ‘Come, assemble for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great.’ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:11–21). After Christ has defeated all the armies gathered in the valley of Armageddon, He will reign with His saints for one thousand years and fully restore Israel to her land. At the end of a thousand years, a final judgment of the nations and all remaining mankind will occur, which is then followed by an eternal state: either spent with God or separated from Him (cf. Revelation 20-21). The above events are not speculations or possibilities – they are what will take place in the future. Just as all the Bible’s prophecies of Christ’s first coming came true, so will all the Bible’s prophecies of His second coming. Given the truth of these prophecies, what impact should they have on us now? Peter asks this question: “Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! ” (2 Peter 3:11–12). The Effect of Bible Prophecy on Us Today There are four responses we should have to Bible prophecy. The first is obedience, which is what Peter speaks of in the verses above. Jesus continually tells us to be ready for His coming, which could happen at any time (cf. Mark 13:33-37) and to live in such a way that we are not ashamed of our behavior. The second response is worship. God has provided a way to escape His end-time judgments—His free gift of salvation offered through Jesus. We must be sure we receive His salvation and live in gratitude before Him. Our worship on earth will one day become worship in heaven: “And they sang a new song, saying, ‘Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation’” (Revelation 5:9). The third response is proclamation. The message of God’s salvation and the truth of His second coming need to be proclaimed for all to hear, especially to those who don’t yet believe. We must give everyone the chance to turn to God and be saved from His coming wrath. Revelation 22:10 says, "And he said to me, ‘Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.’” The last response to God’s prophetic Word is service. All believers should be diligent about carrying out God’s will and performing good works. Part of Christ’s judgments will be of the works performed by believers. They do not determine a Christian’s acceptance into heaven, but they do show what each believer did with the gifts given him or her by God. Paul says of this judgment, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10). In summation, God is sovereign over all events and people of the world. He is firmly in control of everything and will bring a perfect end to everything He has started. An old Christian song puts it like this: “All is God’s creation … Fashioned by One hand … Satan and Salvation … Under One command.” Fulfilled prophecy is one proof that the Bible is a supernatural book. Hundreds of Old Testament prophecies have already been fulfilled, and it is reasonable to conclude that what it says about the end times will be fulfilled as well. For those who know Jesus and have trusted Him as their Lord and Savior, His coming will be their blessed hope (cf. Titus 2:13). But for those who have rejected Christ, He will be their holy terror (cf. 2 Thessalonians 1:8). The bottom line is this: to survive the end times, make sure you are a believer in Christ: “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
0.99248	One of the most profoundly difficult bioethical matters is whether or not a terminally ill child should be taken off life support. What happens when the law rules that humans play the hand of God? Read on to find out. In recent times, the fight for 10-month old Charlie Gard’s chance at life has become a cause célèbre. For those in the dark, here is a quick summary of what has happened thus far. August 4, 2016 - Charlie Gard was born When he was a few weeks old, he had trouble lifting his head, wasn’t growing well and needed a feeding tube Breathing became shallow over time October 11, 2016 - admitted to the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London Diagnosed with Encephalomyopathic Mithochondrial DNA depletion syndrome Condition caused muscle and organ dysfunction & cerebral disorders Charlie is 1 of 16 people to have ever had the condition Resulted in extensive brain damage and Charlie having to be on life support He can neither breathe, see, hear nor swallow on his own Charlie's chance at life Upon exhausting unsuccessful treatment options, and unable to find treatment in the United Kingdom (UK), Charlie’s distraught mother, Connie, desperately searched the Internet for a possible option to fight for her son's chance at life. She discovered an American doctor who was willing to perform an experimental treatment on Charlie. However, the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where Charlie was admitted, refused to release the baby. Charlie’s parents made a plea in the European Court of Human Rights, to allow them to fight for Charlie's chance at life. Connie took to social media to set up a crowdfunding page. More than 83,000 people donated and they reached the targeted amount of 1.2 million a day before the High Court’s hearing of the case. Unfortunately, the weight of the scale did not tip in their favour. The court ruled that the hospital could turn off Charlie’s life support. The parents were neither allowed to go to the States for treatment nor bring Charlie home. The court’s decision is that it is lawful for the hospital to turn off life support and not prolong Charlie’s acute agony. There is no realistic or palpable prospect of improvement for Charlie by undergoing the experimental treatment. There is hardly a chance at life for Charlie and making him suffer would be to no avail. This left the parents devastated. They felt that their parental rights were taken away and strangers were deciding when, how and where their child would die. There has also been a massive public outcry over this matter. Public opinion More than 160,000 people signed a petition calling for Charlie to be “released” from the hospital and hastags like #dontkillCharlie and #charliesfight have been going viral on social media. People view the court’s decision as a violation of human rights and depriving Charlie of something as basic as his right to have a chance at life. Pope Francis has extended his affection and sadness to the helpless parents and prays that their wish to seek treatment for their child is granted. US President Donald Trump has also expressed solidarity with Charlie’s parents, and offered his help and support. In spite of how vehemently Charlie’s parents feel or protest against this matter, the Court stands firm in its decision. The Court argues that treatment is futile and the decision is in the best interest of Charlie. The highest court has rejected the plea, and right now, the parents only have a little more time with Charlie before the hospital turns the life support machine off. This is indeed a heart-wrenching story. It is a profoundly onerous bioethical matter. In the past, things were simpler when humans didn’t get to play the hand of God. In a situation like this, nature would simply take its course and decide whether or not Charlie had a chance at life. There would be no decision to make and no courts to go to for the decision would be made neither by the judiciary nor the hospital. God would decide when to turn off the life support that he had placed the child on. Perhaps the advancement of science and technology has placed us in a sticky situation. Perhaps the irony of the freedom and ability to make decisions against nature is that it has entrapped us in the argument of right versus wrong. Is there a clear dichotomy between right or wrong in this case? We've heard the opinions of people around the world. What do Singaporeans have to say? Singaporeans' opinions Gideon Ren, a seminary graduate student and Strengths Finder coach, shares: “From a theist point of view, we try as much to save to the best of our abilities, but to prematurely sign a death sentence on a baby that seems to be (in our finite understanding) hopeless, would be to undermine the sanctity of life, and the perseverance of the human will.” He adds that apart from humanitarian grounds, this issue also extends to what meaning it holds for the medical profession: “By simply writing everything off as a no-go, you inherently disarm research impetus and medical discovery. It would become a slippery slope for the medical profession.” This echoes the sentiments of retired Medical Consultant Abdul Majid: “This decision would make the hearts of Charlie’s parents bleed and I think they should be given a right to try every option that they had to give their child a chance at life. Whether or not the outcome is successful, it would mean closure for them. They wouldn’t plague themselves with the what ifs, for the rest of their lives.” But apart from the parents’ emotions, he adds: “From a medical perspective, it is experimental treatment like these that eventually pave the way to finding cure for diseases. Take meningitis for example. In 1891, Heinrich Quincke, used the newly discovered lumbar puncture to study cerebrospinal fluid. If no one had stepped forward or allowed experimental treatment, would we now have the cure and vaccines that we have? In this case, if bringing their child for experimental treatment leads to some groundbreaking medical discovery, and the child eventually passes on, the parents would find comfort in knowing that their efforts were not entirely in vain. We also sought the opinions of Joseph Lim, an agnostic, and Jasmine, an atheist. We wanted to know if people who didn’t subscribe to religion would have a different take. Joseph Lim’s take: “If it’s successful, we advance our medical knowledge. If it’s a failure, we still advance our medical knowledge. Also, if I were the father, I would be furious if I was denied a chance, however slim or impossible it was, to save my kid." Partner Stories Diseases-Injuries Singapore baby suffers burns in fire, parents share their ordeal Diseases-Injuries Treating Wounds In Children: 4 Common Misconceptions General 2-year-old girl dies after being stung by hornets First AID Better to prepare than panic: must-know first aid tips for your child’s wounds That's a child's chance at life we are talking about. But on the other hand, he acknowledges why the court refuses to accept the plea: I can see why they are not allowing it. It’s pretty much human sentiments. The baby is still human and no one wants to extend his suffering. But my take is that letting him go for the treatment itself is being human. If it were my call, both on humanitarian and medical grounds, I would let him go for the treatment.” Jasmine’s take: For me, it’s simple. The child has suffered enough. And if his condition can’t be cured or his lifespan can’t be prolonged, I think the court’s decision was best. It’s going to stay in the parents’ hearts for awhile but if you think about it, it’s for the better. Rather than fighting for something that won’t do much good, just put a stop to it. Maybe there is no chance at life to fight for. Yes, no doubt that it’s a life we are talking about, one must not torture another’s life because they are unable to come to terms with the reality of the situation.” This mirrors the views of Robert D. Troug, a pediatric intensive care doctor at Boston Children’s Hospital and the director of the center of Bioethics at Harvard Medical School. He mentioned that the child is dying and nothing can stop that. It is the worst thing for a parent but they need to come to terms with it and not fight it. Well, given the nature of the situation, it’s hardly surprising that people have such polarising opinions about the court and the parents’ decisions. The controversy has unfolded at an international level. At the end of the day, what it all boils down to is that Charlie is the center of his parents’ universe. They love him with all they have and even if the chance is one in a million, they want to take that chance. It is their child's chance at life, and it matters. However damaged or disabled their child is, they believe that he is worthy of a chance to be loved and accepted. They believe that he deserves a chance at life. At the very least, all they want as his parents is to bring him home, and let him sleep in his own cot, even if it’s just for one night.

0.999667	Students Sue, Workers Resign, Employees Fired Over Strict COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate in The US - Social News Daily Skip to primary navigation Skip to content Skip to primary sidebar Skip to footer Social Media Social Celebs Social Video Hoaxed Entertainment Politics More! Social Humor Social Business Social Music Social Sports Social Photos Social Gaming Social Law Mobile Meet Our Team Politics Students Sue, Workers Resign, Employees Fired Over Strict COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate in The US Published on Jun 23, 2021 by Anne Share This Article The strict COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the US came as a surprise, but it is inevitable. The US government’s vaccination programs may be one of the most aggressive in the world. In recent news, state governments have resorted to incredible prizes to encourage their constituents to get the shot. This includes free tickets to parks, chances to win millions in the lottery, giving away free guns and beers, and more. Private corporations have also done their fair share in encouraging citizens to get vaccinated by offering discounts, benefits, and perks to whoever could present a vaccination card. With more than 50% of Americans vaccinated, and a July 4 target deadline, the US seems to be doing drastic measures to make sure that their citizens are vaccinated. However, no matter how encouraging America’s vaccination program may be, it seems that not everybody is pleased by the mandate. More employers and schools are mandating the COVID-19 vaccine Workplaces around the country are starting to open up again. Fully vaccinated office workers are allowed, and encouraged, to come back to work. Employers are now in a tight spot on how to encourage their workers to get their shots. This is since full vaccinations are required to go back to work. One of the biggest issues in this matter is that employers could not, technically, mandate the COVID-19 vaccine since these are not approved by the FDA yet. Vaccine hesitancy does come from the fact that, at the moment, the majority of the vaccines in the US do not have full Food and Drug Authority approval. The FDA has so far released an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine which is what is being jabbed at millions of Americans in the US. Without this assurance from the FDA, many adults seem to be hesitating to line up for the vaccines. Hospital in Houston loses about 150 staff A fallout between staff and the management in a hospital in Houston has reached the courts early this month. The employees have filed a case against their employer saying that they are being ‘coerced’ into getting the vaccine. Unfortunately, the lawsuit filed by the employees had little standing in court. The presiding judge has indicated that the vaccine mandate was not “coercion” as the employees claim. Instead, the vaccine mandate was for the public’s interest to improve the capability of the staff to be protected against the virus and better care for patients. According to the hospital, hundreds of employees were suspended without pay for 14 days. If they still do not wish to get vaccinated within the next two weeks, they may be terminated. A number of these employees have already resigned. College students in the Indiana University are planning to sue In a similar case, students from the Indiana University are planning to sue for requiring students to get vaccinated before returning. According to the students, it is a violation of the 14th Amendment. They claim that the mandate is restricting their freedom to choose to have or not to have themselves vaccinated. However, in a turn of events, the school does have a right to require vaccinations. This is for the good of the rest of the university’s population.

0.934833	Where are my rule breakers?? One thing I have learned by growing and working in the fashion industry is that you can pretty much throw the rules out the door. I mean, life is short, so why not wear what you want? And although there are still some ‘guidelines’ that help you look your best, I have listed a few rule myths below that were meant to be broken! Rule Myth #1: Can’t Wear White After Labor Day I am not going to lie, this was a rule that took a while for me to break. In my mind, white was a summery color, and this rule was to be followed strictly. BUT there came a time when I changed my mind for the better, and now I LOVE wearing beautiful winter whites! Some ways that I eased into this rule break was wearing off-whites, creams or ecru-like colors to help bring a little more color to my face during the wintery months. A good rule of thumb to follow is to still make sure it is seasonally appropriate. For example, wearing a white sweater in winter is a no-brainer, but wearing white converses when it is snowing outside might deserve another look 😉 Rule Myth #2: Can’t Mix Prints My sister was always notorious for mixing prints (and still is), and I was always quick to be the annoying sister to say that does not match! I’ve come along way since then, and now this is one of my favorite rules to break. I love how you can add a ton of interest and depth to an outfit by layering on different prints. However, a good rule of thumb here is to make sure that the prints are still cohesive. To help keep them cohesive is to have similar colors or shapes that keeps the look on point. Rule Myth #3: Can’t Wear Certain Colors Together This is a popular myth that has hung around for quite some time! Now don’t get me wrong, when you mix colors that might not be perceived as cohesive (i.e. black/brown or black/navy), you have to make sure that it looks intentional. For example, if you wanted to mix black and brown, aim to have the colors look very distinguishable. If you have to wander if your skirt is black or brown by holding it to a light, then the colors are too close. This could look like you are trying to match instead of just having the colors complement. Instead, aim for a taupe or light brown, so that people can clearly see the difference between the black and brown pieces. Rule Myth #4: Comfortable Can’t Be Cute Comfort took a whole new meaning when the athleisure trend hit the market! And how could it not? For it to be socially acceptable to wear comfy yoga pants all day seemed like a present from the fashion gods. This trend not only allowed people to be comfy, but it also allowed people to not lose their fashion identity. However, this myth goes well beyond the obviously comfy categories and into other fun options. Companies have really been pushing themselves to provide cute and comfortable options from heels to intimate attire. Rule Myth #5: Can’t Mix Jewelry Metals This is a fun rule to break! Mixing metals has become an increasingly popular trend, and I am totally here for it! People have been breaking this rule from fun costume jewelry to their wedding rings. As the key with the other myths, it is important to make it look intentional. It is easier to wear this trend by wearing multiple of the same metal. An example could be wearing mixing several gold and silver rings together. it looks more like a mistake if you have 1:1 (i.e. gold earrings with one silver statement necklace) I hope that I helped you myth bust these rules to help you grow and diversify your wardrobe!

0.999893	Last year (2020) we first sent out this survey because a lot of artists, wonder what the best way is to sell their prints. This year (2021) we wanted to see if there was much of a change in the answers we received. Obvious COVID did change many people’s purchasing methods in 2020 but with many buyers and sellers resuming a pre-pandemic pattern, we wanted to see if this was reflected with the artists who use our services. Interestingly enough, the changes were not as dramatic as we would have expected with online selling methods continue to dominate over more traditional in-person style methods. So going to the survey itself, obviously, there is no “best” way to sell your artwork and prints which works for everyone. These methods are tools and how good an artist is at harnessing these tools will dictate how well they work for them, Last year we we sent the survey out a little over 20,000 artists and photographers with about 20% responding. This year was around 30,000 artists and photographers with about 15% responding. The question that was posed was “What is the main way you offer your prints for sale?”. Here are the results: 2020 2021 Change Etsy 29.7% 28.5% -1.2% Amazon Handmade 0.6% 0.4% -0.2% Ebay 1.2% 0.0% -1.2% Shopify 8.7% 7.3% -1.4% Square Website 1.2% 1.5% 0.3% Squarespace Website 9.3% 10.2% 0.9% Wix Website 4.4% 4.4% 0.0% Woocommerce Website 2.6% 5.1% 2.5% Art shows or fairs 10.5% 9.5% -1.0% 3rd Party Online Galleries 2.0% 1.8% -0.2% Traditional Offline Galleries 7.3% 5.8% -1.5% In-person Sales 12.5% 12.0% -0.5% Other 9.9% 13.5% 3.6% Etsy We were not too surprised that Etsy came in so high but actually expected the difference to be a large jump between 2020 to 2021. In recent years it has become and incredible marketplace for artists. Etsy requires momentum which takes some time and does not work for everyone. But once it mature and gains momentum, it becoming a powerful selling tool. While it does not reflect in the survey, we at FinerWorks have seen an increase in the number of Etsy orders we are fulfilling which is a result of Etsy sellers themselves finally starting to see an increase in their own order volume. Amazon Handmade A few years back there was a lot of talk about Amazon Handmade as Amazon’s alternative to Etsy. I still see every day that we are fulfilling those orders, but we expected these numbers to be higher in 2020 and even higher in 2021. Since we are not seeing an improvement, it could indicate Amazon has not done enough to draw in more Etsy sellers. Part of the problem might be getting setup and products listed had not been as easy as with Etsy. Ebay Ebay literally dropped off the radar. While there was one or two people, it was too small to register in the polling numbers when we rounded the percentage to it’s nearest decimal point. Shopify Again, not much of a change. There was a slight drop and this could be partially attributed to improvements in other platforms. It could also be many have found WooCommerce a cheaper (but more complex) alternative. I still believe and recommend Shopify as a great system for artists wanting to sell online. There fulfillment integration is poorly documented so can be hard to properly setup to work with 3rd parties but it still has a lot of features and plugins so once you get familiar with the admin interface, it is pretty quick to launch a site that can take your orders. Plus we have a app that allows you to import your Shopify orders. Square Square appears to have made some improvements possibly due to the pandemic having forced many artists to selling online. It is one of the more simpler ones to get setup so if an artist with little technical skill needed to set something up quickly last year so they could sell online, this would be expected. Square is not as powerful and robust as some of the other platforms like Shopify, Woocommerce or Squarespace to name a few. Squarespace In 2020 this surprised us. We knew it was popular then but thought Shopify would come out ahead of it. Its not as advanced as Shopify but if you want something simpler to setup shop with, then Squarespace is one I would recommend. Coincidentally, we have a Squarespace app that allows artists and photographers to import their orders. We launched that a little over a year ago and have seen increased usage which may be why we also see some increase in the stats for this year. Wix This virtually tied last year which was very odd. We have been watching this one closely and are planning a integration import app similar to Squarespace and Shopify, but we thought there would be an improvement. Last year, some within our customer service staff told me this may become more popular in the future but again, not much of a change here. WooCommerce This had a notable jump. I still say the problem many artist might have with it is it may appear a little less turnkey. Overall, its an excellent system to sell with but with more intuitive systems like Shopify or Squarespace, it might be better suited for those with a more technical bent. Artshows and Fairs This one continued to defy much of a change. We were not quite sure how to read into this one. We thought it was going to be higher. But perhaps some of those that used to sell in art shows and fairs may have decided to continue to focus on online sales. 3rd Party Online Galleries This could be sites like FineArtAmerica, Society6 and GeoGalleries. These are generally websites that just sell but do not actually produce the prints. Instead they rely on fine art color labs like FinerWorks to fulfill the orders. From our experience, some of them (not all) come and go. One year you find your sales are great and the next they are a trickle, especially when they increase the amount of art, but they fail to increase the number of potential buyers visiting their website. Again, not much of a change from 2020. Traditional Offline Galleries For now, these continue to remain a viable solution. We do a lot of printing direct for galleries. Some might expect these number to go down as online sales increase, but new galleries are constantly opening up so it might be premature to fully conclude that. In-Person Sales Probably the most effects methods out there. Usually when we think of In-Person Sales, we probably think of Art shows and Fairs. But it might include sales done in a retail establishment like a gift shop or other place that has foot traffic. Other I know there is a lot of other methods that can be used and we could have added some more choices. For one we should have included Social Media since from some of the comments, a lot of people sell sell via Instagram and Facebook. Here are a few other examples as you can see with some of the follow-ups people provided when it came to “Other”. Email with PayPal Instagram with Paypal FASO Artist Websites Redbubble Personal gift shop Juried exhibitions Smugmug Tattoo Studio Curioos Kickstarter Weebly Big Cartel Other website services If you want to share some “others” or post your experience with any of the places discussed, please share it below in the comments. The consensus has been that in 2020, online methods of selling has become the more viable option for many artists and fine art photographers. We will have to see how things continue to change in the future. Next year we will likely redo this survey but make some changes and add more choices. Share this page Get the Latest!

0.998649	The coronavirus causing COVID-19 has spread like wildfire, playing havoc with the global supply chains, bringing the world economy to an unprecedented standstill. These extraordinary times we find ourselves living in is certainly throwing light on some interesting issues in the realm of contract management. How does COVID-19 affect contractual obligations? While it has made it difficult for some parties to execute their contractual obligations, it has left others absolutely incapable of execution. In the thick of this scenario, parties are reviewing their contracts and hoping to rely on ‘force majeure’ clauses to temporarily suspend their performance obligations under the contract to protect themselves from failure to provide goods or services and in some cases to completely end their contractual arrangement. Luckily, the Department of Expenditure (Procurement Policy Division) of the Ministry of Finance vide an office memorandum dated 19.02.2020 has called the outbreak of COVID-19 a natural calamity and has clarified that ‘force majeure’ may be invoked whenever appropriate following ‘due process’. Though this interpretation by the government may not be binding it may still have persuasive strength in interpreting contracts with the Government of India. What is Force Majeure? ‘Force Majeure’ is a contractual provision. According to Black Law’s Dictionary “it is an event or effect that can neither be anticipated nor controlled… that prevents someone from completing or doing something that he or she had agreed or officially planned to do”. This concept has neither been defined nor specifically mentioned in statues, so whether or not it can be invoked will depend on the general terms of the contract, the events that precede or succeed it and the facts of the case. What legal provision govern the claim for Force Majeure in India? Indian Contract Act does not specifically provide for Force Majeure. Some reference however has been made under Section 32 of the Indian Contract Act, 1970 to contracts that are contingent on the happening of a certain event, where if the event becomes impossible it renders the contract void. This means that there may be certain unanticipated events outside the control of parties that may render a contract unworkable for a limited time while the event lasts, leaving a window for normalcy once the event ceases to exist. It is during such circumstances that ‘force majeure’ comes into play. What type of events qualify as Force Majeure? Is the outbreak of COVID-19 a force majeure situation? Force Majeure provisions in contracts tend to be formulated in one of the two ways. The parties to the contract may mutually decide over the list of events to be categorized under this clause, which typically includes acts of war, riots, fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, explosion, strikes, lockouts, slowdowns, prolonged shortage of supplies, governmental action etc. It is either a closed list of categories, such as “a finite list of force majeure is the following events ……” or it is an open list of categories, such as “force majeure is the following types of events; including …….” In India the closed list tends to be more favoured. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and interestingly you will rarely see the word pandemic listed in force majeure clauses. If you do see it listed in the clause, then you know that you are within the force majeure territory and you can go on to test other elements of force majeure that might be available, and if not, then that makes navigating through the force majeure regime a lot more difficult. Alternatively, you may notice many contracts referring to the Act of God. This is an interesting one, because the Act of God traditionally tends to be ‘weather dependent’ and without human interference and in that sense a pandemic or epidemic, tends to not be considered as an Act of God. While some parties to a contract may term the disruption in the supply chain due to the pandemic – a natural calamity, or an Act of God, others may argue that forced quarantine or travel bans are the roots of such disruptions and are ‘acts of government’. Therefore, the sole inclusion of an ‘Act of God clause’ does not ensure the recovery of losses caused by COVID-19. To that end, the key factors to check for force majeure are- – Do you have a closed or open list? – Do you see the word ‘pandemic’ mentioned under the provision? – If not, you may want to look at other categories such as ‘disease,’ ‘epidemic,’ ‘quarantine,’ or ‘acts of government,’. It is important to note that in cases where “epidemics” or “acts of Government” are mentioned apart from the force majeure clause, the courts would additionally subject you to show proof of cause, a harmonious construction with other provisions and compliance with the conditions contained in the force majeure clause. What would an affected party do to claim relief in case the contract does not include an express force majeure clause? In case the contract does not include a force majeure clause, or the existing clause does not include a particular event, in such a situation the affected party may be able to discharge the contract using the ‘Doctrine of Frustration’. It is a common law doctrine enshrined under Section 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1970, and it protects parties against circumstances where their contracts have become impossible to perform and such impossibility in performance may be due to the occurrence of an event which affected their ability to perform. It is however extremely important for the application of doctrine of frustration that such person could not have done anything in their power to prevent such an event from happening and that the impossibility is neither self-induced nor a result of negligence. Further, it is really important to bear in mind that the performance has to be impossible, not just difficult or more time consuming or expensive, IMPOSSIBILITY IS WHAT IS REQUIRED. How have the courts interpreted the word ‘impossible’ provided under section 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872? In regard to the word ‘impossible’ the Supreme Court in Satyabrata Ghose v. Mugneeram Bangur and Co. & Anr. held that the word impossible under Section 56 of the Act to “not be used in the sense of physical or literal impossibility. The performance of an act may not be literally impossible but it may be impracticable and useless from the point of view of the object and purpose which the parties had in view; and if an untoward event or change of circumstances totally upsets the very foundation upon which the parties rested their bargain, it can very well be said that the promisor found it impossible to do the act which he promised to do.” There is a vast variety of Indian case laws on the doctrine of frustration and one must keep in mind that it is a very high bar to achieve. This can be evidenced by a recent landmark judgement titled Energy Watchdog Vs. Central Electricity Regulatory Commission where the Supreme Court held that force majeure clauses are to be narrowly construed. The court opined that in the force majeure clause contained in the contract in question, “hindrance” could mean an event wholly or partly preventing performance. However, a mere increase in prices would not amount to a hindrance. It was held that since the force majeure clause specifically excluded rise in fuel cost, the fundamental basis of the contract was never dislodged. In view of the fact that alternative modes of performance were available even though the same were at a higher price, a force majeure situation did not arise. The Court further held that since there was a specific clause addressing force majeure in the contract in question, Section 56 of the Contract Act would not have any application. The two things to note here are that the force majeure event must lead to an impossibility; mere hardship, inconvenience or material loss cannot be considered as a force majeure event AND in case there is a specific force majeure clause in the contract, then Section 56 would have no applicability because essentially the doctrine of frustration results in killing the contract and hence should not be lightly invoked. How to protect yourself from the legal implications of COVID-19? At present it is impossible to ascertain the exact damage caused by COVID-19, nonetheless it is advisable for businesses to equip themselves in case of any prospective dispute. Parties to the contract must abide by the terms of the agreement and requirements of force majeure clauses. The affected party must promptly notify the counterparty regarding the occurrence of a force majeure event and must collect all documents to produce as evidence in case of a dispute at a later stage. Most importantly, parties must get their contracts evaluated in detail by legal professionals. The jurisprudence and precedents on this subject are limited therefore the interpretation of the courts may vary.

0.999574	In the previous episode, we showed how Google C++ Mocking Framework matchers can make both your test code and your test output readable. What if you cannot find the right matcher for the task? Don't settle for anything less than perfect. It's easy to create a matcher that does exactly what you want, either by composing from existing matchers or by writing one from scratch. The simplest composite matcher is Not(m), which negates matcher m as you may have guessed. We also have AnyOf(m1, ..., mn) for OR-ing and AllOf(m1, ..., mn) for AND-ing. Combining them wisely and you can get a lot done. For example, EXPECT_THAT(new_code, AnyOf(StartsWith(“// Tests”)), Not(ContainsRegex(“TODO.intern”)))); could generate a message like: Expected: (starts with “// Tests”) or (doesn't contain regular expression “TODO.intern”) Actual: “/* TODO: hire an intern. / int main() {}” If the matcher expression gets too complex, or your matcher logic cannot be expressed in terms of existing matchers, you can use plain C++. The MATCHER macro lets you define a named matcher: MATCHER(IsEven, “”) { return (arg % 2) == 0; } allows you to write EXPECT_THAT(paren_num, IsEven()) to verify that paren_num is divisible by two. The special variable arg refers to the value being validated (paren_num in this case) – it is not a global variable. You can put any code between {} to validate arg, as long as it returns a bool value. The empty string “” tells Google C++ Mocking Framework to automatically generate the matcher's description from its name (therefore you'll see “Expected: is even” when the match fails). As long as you pick a descriptive name, you get a good description for free. You can also give multiple parameters to a matcher, or customize its description. The code: // P2 means the matcher has 2 parameters. Their names are low and high. MATCHER_P2(InClosedRange, low, high, “is in range [%(low)s, %(high)s]”) { return low <= arg && arg <= high; } ... EXPECT_THAT(my_age, InClosedRange(adult_min, penalty_to_withdraw_401k)); may print: Expected: is in range [18, 60] Actual: 2 (No, that's not my real age.) Note how you can use Python-style interpolation in the description string to print the matcher parameters. You may wonder why we haven't seen any types in the examples. Rest assured that all the code we showed you is type-safe. Google C++ Mocking Framework uses compiler type inference to “write” the matcher parameter types for you, so that you can spend the time on actually writing tests – or finding your perfect match.

Toilet-Friendly Version Google Labels: C++ , TotT , Zhanyong Wan 2 comments : Unknown November 3, 2009 at 2:53:00 AM PST I just do not get some of these matchers. Unit tests are meant to be consistent and repeatable, so I would be interested to find why you think there is a need for such matchers as the "in range" and "is even" ? Surely the tests should be: given a number x it is guaranteed to give number y. If you can not guarantee the output then it seems the code being tested has a smell, this being that it depends on global state.

0.999994	In July 2017, Trade Me sought clearance to acquire up to 100 percent of the shares in Limelight Software Limited, trading as Motorcentral. The Commerce Commission has declined this clearance. Motorcentral is a Christchurch-based supplier of motor vehicle dealer management software. In making its decision for the decline, the Commerce Commission says it considered the effects of the merger on competition. Chairman Dr Mark Berry said the Commission could not be satisfied that the merger would not be likely to substantially lessen competition in the relevant markets. “The merger would combine Trade Me, which is the most popular online classified advertising platform for motor vehicle dealers, and Motorcentral, which is the largest provider of DMS products to independent motor vehicle dealers in New Zealand. Based on the evidence received, we could not exclude the real chance that this could result in a substantial lessening of competition in these markets, including deterring new entry,” Dr Berry said. “Trade Me is an important advertising platform for car dealers and we were concerned the merger could result in Trade Me creating barriers for dealers who do not use Motorcentral’s DMS. Likewise, we were concerned Motorcentral could create barriers for dealers who want to list on rival advertising websites or any new potential entrants.” “On the evidence available to us, we could also not exclude the real chance that, absent the merger, Trade Me could become a stronger competitor to Motorcentral. The merger could also entrench the market power Trade Me holds for online classified advertising to motor vehicle dealers.” Rate This Article: Related posts NEWS British retail giant plans to open more NZ stores, creating up to 700 jobs December 3, 2021 NEWS Kiwis spend up for Black Friday sales December 3, 2021 Previous Article Next Article How to get your signage done properly the first time The Comfort Group inducted into the Business Hall of Fame SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER TRENDING NOW SmileDirectClub: Revolutionising access to premium oral care Customer experience the vehicle for innovation VR technology drives Dyson’s new virtual store Kiwis spend up for Black Friday sales British retail giant plans to open more NZ stores, creating up to 700 jobs GOLD SPONSORS DON'T MISS Sustainable fashion brand talks retail strategy British retail giant plans to open more NZ stores, creating up to 700 jobs Customer experience the vehicle for innovation Kiwis spend up for Black Friday sales About us The Register is a trade website targeted at New Zealand retailers and their staff, and aims to bring the sector the very best retail trade news, views and analysis.

0.978035	CASPER, Wyo. (AP) – A U.S. bankruptcy court has ruled that a coal company may sell two large Wyoming mines separately from one in West Virginia. Bristol, Tennessee-based Contura Energy originally sought to buy all three mines from Milton, West Virginia-based Blackjewel in a deal held up while U.S. officials seek payment of federal royalties. Contura would have paid $9.7 million for the Belle Ayr and Eagle Butte mines in Wyoming and Pax Surface Mine in West Virginia. The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the court in West Virginia on Wednesday approved a deal in which Contura would pay $1.1 million to finalize sale of the West Virginia mine. The Wyoming mines have been shut down since Blackjewel declared bankruptcy July 1. Federal records show no production at the West Virginia mine since 2006. ___ Information from: Casper (Wyo.)

0.927552	Coke, Pepsi, or OxyContin. Could that be coming to a vending machine near you? Not yet, but the race is on in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle to see which American city will be first to radically advance the so-called "harm reduction" movement, which seeks to coddle drug addicts through programs such as safe injection sites. Officials recently granted preliminary approvals of safe injection sites in all three cities – or, another way of putting it, safe spaces for shooting up heroin. They are all inspired by Vancouver, Canada. There, a person credited with establishing the first such facility in North America is now advocating for even more extreme measures to provide comfort and convenience for drug addicts. Yes, the top health official in British Columbia is proposing vending machines to dispense opioid "painkillers." Mark Tyndall, director of the province's Center for Disease Control, is suggesting not OxyContin, but another opioid painkiller he hopes will reduce abuse of heroin, fentanyl, and other more potent versions of the drug. As the Canadian health official demonstrates, there is no limit to the lunacy of the harm reduction movement. Encompassing needle exchange programs, which began in the 1980s, and fueled by the opioid epidemic today, harm reduction measures include various drug therapies and safe injection sites. While Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle are not yet proposing vending machines, they nevertheless hold up Vancouver as a case study in how to treat opioid addicts. Official reports from all three cities essentially credit safe injection sites with saving lives because someone overdoses and keels over, and a nurse is on hand to intervene. A report for Philadelphia cites the Vancouver facility, known as "Insite," where it is said the mortality rate is lower within 500 meters of the building. One could make the same case for an emergency room or an ordinary drug rehabilitation center. San Francisco's public health department credits Insite with adding over 1,000 "life years" to addicts, whatever that means. Local officials in the Seattle area credit Vancouver with increasing awareness of the opioid epidemic because of its embrace of safe spaces. In Baltimore, the Johns Hopkins school of public health publishes "Harm Reduction Journal" to help professors keep up with the latest trends in excusing addiction. The report also cites Vancouver, and its author asserts that "safe spaces help increase the touch point" with addicts, as if someone were caring for an infant. A Maryland legislator who proposed a site in Baltimore, inspired by Hopkins's research, received a succinct rebuke from Gov. Larry Hogan, who correctly called the concept "insane." Finally, here's a rare voice of reason, coming from someone who campaigned on the opioid epidemic in 2014, before it was in the headlines. What all these studies have in common besides touting meaningless and contorted statistics, speculation, and groupthink, is that they repackage the same research. It seems that merely labeling conclusions as peer-reviewed or evidence-based is all that is required to pass muster with some officials. This research is driven by those with a vested interest in promoting themselves. Philadelphia's "review of the evidence" report admits that the majority of the studies of the impact of safe inject sites are based on estimates from the Insite facility itself. As for the so-called "touch points" that Hopkins envisions, this actually has potential to provide additional treatment and referral options for social services. But it's nothing more than overpromising and underdelivering. Nobody tracks data that show how many individuals achieved long-term recovery because they were able to shoot up in a supervised facility. Vancouver's Insite started in 2003, yet we don't see any statistics on how many ended addictions. Perhaps touch points really mean developing a feel-good narrative to advocate for more harm reduction. If city leaders in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and elsewhere are going to blindly follow Vancouver's lead in establishing safe injection sites, who is to say the same won't happen in establishing opioid-dispensing vending machines in the U.S.? Surely there will be a study out about that, too. By making too many promises and ignoring treatment options focused on abstinence and personal responsibility, we face the disturbing prospect of government making the opioid epidemic worse. More politicians should question harm reduction before it harms the country. Matt Mossburg, a former Maryland state legislator and recovering opioid addict, advises policymakers on treatment and recovery options.
0.999965	A second mortgage (sometimes just called a "second") is when you take out a home loan against a property that already has a mortgage on it. When you get a second mortgage, you use your home as collateral to gain access to cash locked up in the value of your home. You can use this money to pay for nearly anything, which is why many homeowners apply for a second mortgage. Types of Second Mortgages Home Equity Loan With a home equity loan, you get your money in one lump sum. You then pay back what you borrowed over an agreed-upon term with fixed payments. This is a smart option if you know exactly how much money you need to borrow or prefer receiving all the funds at once. Let's look at the pros and cons of a home equity loan: Pros Fixed interest rate: You'll know your monthly payments in advance, making it easier to budget repayment. Lump-sum proceeds: Flexibility to use the money however you want. Cons Closing costs: Closing costs range from 2% – 5% of the total cost of the loan. There may also be appraisal and title search fees. Risk: The bank may foreclose your home if you default on your home equity loan. Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC) A HELOC is like a credit card, meaning you have a set credit limit where you can borrow as much or as little as you need. However, unlike a credit card or a home equity loan, this type of second mortgage has two time periods: Drawing period: During this time, you can withdraw whatever amount of money you want (up to your limit), making monthly interest payments only on what you borrow. Repayment period: Requires repayment of the principal and any interest on the amount you borrowed. Borrowing is no longer allowed at this time. The pros and cons of a HELOC: Pros Flexibility: Use only what you need. Delayed payments: Your payments begin when you withdraw money, not sooner. Cons Variable interest: Interest rate fluctuates based on the market. This could make it challenging to budget your payments. Annual fees and other costs: Some HELOCs tack on a yearly maintenance fee, an inactivity fee, a minimum withdrawal fee, or even an early termination fee. Risk: A HELOC uses your home as collateral so the lender could foreclose on your home if you don't repay what you borrow. How to Use Your Second Mortgage Pay off a high-interest rate loan, potentially saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Fund home improvements like a kitchen remodel or adding another room to your home. Fund big purchases like higher education, trade school, a vacation, or new home appliances. Have the funds available in case of an emergency like the car needing repairs or a family member requiring medical treatment.

0.999999	Question Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is affecting millions of people worldwide. It seems that it affects mostly adults older than 40 years of age, and the death rate is highest for older individuals in the population. What should I tell parents worried about their children contracting the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19, and what symptoms should I look for to determine if there is a need to test for the virus? Answer The COVID-19 global pandemic affects all ages. Severe respiratory manifestations have been the mainstay of illness in adults, with what seems to be rapid deterioration necessitating mechanical ventilation. Only 5% of those tested and found to have COVID-19 have been younger than 19 years, possibly owing to limited testing, as the symptoms in children are usually mild. Symptoms in children include fever, dry cough, rhinorrhea, sore throat, and fatigue, and in 10% diarrhea or vomiting. Rarely dyspnea or hypoxemia were also described. Blood tests and imaging have been shown to be of little value in children and should only be ordered for those in whom you would normally order these investigations for viral-like illness. No specific therapy is available and supportive care with rest, fluids, and antipyretics for children is the recommended approach. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen for fever and pain can be given. Antiviral and immunomodulatory treatment is not recommended at this time for otherwise healthy children, and corticosteroids should also not be used. Children with immunocompromised states should be isolated and avoid contact with others. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) illness that started spreading in humans in the end of 2019, now called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a global pandemic1 that has affected millions of people, some of whom are children. The death toll from this pandemic has been considerable and has surpassed previous global pandemics such as the 2002–2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).2 Severe respiratory manifestations have been the mainstay of illness in adults, with what seems to be rapid deterioration necessitating intubation and mechanical ventilation. Since December 2019, when a cluster of acute respiratory illness occurred in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, the illness has been seen mostly in adults (median age in the 50s), and the highest morbidity and mortality has been reported for those with chronic illnesses and immunocompromised states.3 Children have also faced a burden of illness from COVID-19, although current data in Canada suggest that only about 5% of patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 have been children, and only a few needed hospitalization.4 The rates are the same as those reported from 3 hospitals in Zhejiang province, China, which is 900 km from Wuhan, where the virus emerged.5 The reported low rate of infections among children in Canada might be related to selective testing, as COVID-19 testing kits in some Canadian provinces were reserved for patients admitted to the hospital and for symptomatic health care workers. Transmission of COVID-19 is primarily through respiratory droplets inhaled by contacts within close range. Some have suggested other types of transmission such as from fomites and the fecal-oral route. The median incubation period is 5 days (range of 2 to 14 days). Current epidemiologic reports propose that children might be sick with COVID-19, but unlike seasonal influenza, symptoms and severity appear to be milder than among adults, and many children are likely to be asymptomatic.5,6 Among 36 hospitalized children, 28% were asymptomatic.5 Dong et al from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention7 reported more than 2000 cases of COVID-19 illness in children during a period of a month, with 13% of confirmed cases being asymptomatic. In a large series from Korea, only 75 of more than 7700 patients (1%) were younger than 9 years of age, and another 405 (5%) were 10 to 19 years old.8 Korea is a country notable for a low prevalence of severe morbidity and mortality during the pandemic as of the time of writing, likely owing to intensive strategies for community testing and mitigation. Rare admissions or deaths were reported among minors (< 19 years of age) by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention among 4226 patients with COVID-19 through March 16, 2020.9 A simulation model prepared by investigators from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine examining the relatively low prevalence among children suggested 3 possible explanations: first, a possible bias in favour of older patients because schools were closed, limiting the spread among school-aged children; second, the fact that children are exhibiting lower susceptibility to infection; and third, that children have a lower propensity to show clinical symptoms. Fitting an age-structured model to epidemic data from 6 countries (China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Italy, and Canada), they found strong age dependence in the probability of developing clinical symptoms.10 Symptoms When symptomatic, children presented with fever, dry cough, rhinorrhea, sore throat, and fatigue, similar to adults. More recent reports suggest that diarrhea or vomiting are present in about 10% of children and might be the sole symptoms of COVID-19. Moderate illness in one series included fever (47%), cough (24%), vomiting or diarrhea (10%), or headache (10%).5 Abdominal pain was described in a minority of children with COVID-19; dyspnea or hypoxemia were also described; and less than 1% had acute respiratory distress syndrome or systemic illness. While children have not been presenting with severe illness, these findings suggest that they have been contracting the illness, likely have SARS-CoV-2 particles in their nasopharyngeal secretions, are very likely to contribute to early transmission to close contacts,11,12 and might infect adults who can suffer a serious and life-threatening illness.13 There are several theories as to why children have been less sick with COVID-19 compared with adults. It is possible that children have a more active innate immune response and healthier respiratory tracts because they have not been exposed to smoke and air pollution to the extent adults have. Limited immune response in children might also explain an association with the abridged rate of acute respiratory distress syndrome.14 A difference in the distribution, maturation, and functioning of viral receptors is frequently mentioned as a possible reason for the age-related difference in incidence. Both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 use angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as the cell receptor in humans. Some evidence shows that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is involved in protective mechanisms of the lungs, and studies have demonstrated that this type of infection is more common in adults than in children.14 However, such evidence is based on animal models and might not be applicable to humans. Testing for COVID-19 Blood tests are not necessary for patients with COVID-19. Leukopenia, lymphopenia, and increased myocardial enzymes in children with COVID-19 were found at rates similar to adults. Adults have increased C-reactive protein response compared with children, suggesting a much milder immunologic response in children and less immune damage.5 Radiographic features do not seem to add much to the diagnosis of COVID-19 in children, as findings from both x-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest are often normal, while some children with minimal symptoms can present with bilateral pneumonia on an x-ray scan and even with changes on CT scan. Half (53%) of 36 children from 3 hospitals in China had ground-glass opacities on CT scan, meeting the case definition for moderate illness.5 At this time there is no recommendation to obtain any radiologic tests in children with suspected COVID-19 and to order imaging only if the provider would plan imaging for viral-like illness in the child. Therapy While there has been speculation, and anecdotal treatment successes have been reported,15 at the time of writing this review, no therapy is available. Supportive care with rest, fluids, and antipyretics for children is the recommended approach. Initial considerations reported by the World Health Organization to avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been dismissed, and the Canadian Paediatric Society suggests that ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be administered for fever and pain.16 Despite some reports of pneumonia in children with COVID-19, there is no current recommendation for antiviral and immunomodulatory treatment for some or all children with the illness.17 Some authors have proposed systemic corticosteroids for COVID-19 infection, while others have suggested they would have a deleterious effect.18 Current World Health Organization guidance suggests that corticosteroids should not be used for SARS-CoV-2–induced lung injury or shock.18 Children with immunocompromised states, such as those receiving chemotherapy or other drugs affecting the immune system, are at greater risk from COVID-19 and should be isolated and avoid contact with others. Similarly, isolation is needed for children with underlying pulmonary pathology and immunocompromising conditions that have been associated with more severe outcomes with other coronavirus infections.

0.999838	Professor Tim Spector has said the current vaccine and testing measures are ‘insufficient’ (Photo: Getty Images) Covid-19 could ruin Christmas for the next five years, a leading health expert has warned. Professor Tim Spector has said the current vaccine and testing measures are not sufficient enough to keep the spread of the virus under control. Current measures are ‘insufficient’ The lead scientist on the Zoe Covid Study app explained that experts now have a better understanding of coronavirus than they did in 2020, when they thought they just had to get through the year. He said: “And that’s clearly turning out not to be the case, as we realise that just vaccines alone, even in countries that have got higher vaccination rates than ours, are not the final solution to this. But we need a combination of measures. “We need to extend the vaccination programme to include three shots. “We also need to realise there will be breakthrough infections that are real, we now know that vaccinated people can still transmit the virus, and that is going to be running through our populations to some degree. “How high we want those rates to be is highly determined by our complacency and our relaxation of some of the rules that we had in place, that last year I thought we’re actually over the top, and now this year, I think insufficient.” Prof Spector explained that while vaccinations have helped to bring infections down, vaccines alone are not enough to stop the virus from spreading and a combination of measures is needed. This includes extending the jab rollout to include three doses and using a combination of lateral flow and antibody tests to identify who is at risk of having breakthrough infections. Speaking at an online conference for the Royal Society of Medicine’s Covid-19 series, he explained: “We have to realise we just have to in some way control (it) into something that doesn't cause as much loss of life, doesn't cause morbidities, and reduce that. "And to do that is a combination of the vaccines, the medicines, etc. But also we have to keep some public health measures in place to keep those numbers down - we're not doing that. "And that's why for the last three months, we've had the highest rates not only of cases but also hospitalisations in western Europe. "And I think it's pretty unwise for a country that has such a perilous health system - even at this stage about 7% of hospital beds full of Covid - at a time when we've got massive other health needs.” The government has so far resisted calls to implement tougher winter restrictions (Photo: Getty Images) PM says boosters are ‘key thing’ Prof Spector’s comments come as the Prime Minister resisted calls to implement tougher winter restrictions, refusing to move to the ‘Plan B’ for tackling Covid-19. Boris Johnson is instead relying on booster vaccinations as the “key thing” to keep infection levels under control over the coming months. Speaking during a hospital visit in Northumberland this week, he said: “The key thing you want to do is to reduce those pressures, which are building, on the A&Es, on beds, by encouraging people, particularly the over-50s, to come forward and get your booster jab.” “Unfortunately, what you’ve got at the moment is a situation in which the waning of the original two jabs is starting to see too many elderly people getting into hospital. “Sadly, the jabs do wane. We’ve done 10 million booster jabs already and it’s a very effective thing.” The NHS is now allowing those eligible for booster jabs to book their vaccine five months after their second dose - one month earlier than previously - meaning people can now get their jab at the six-month mark, rather than having to wait weeks for an appointment.

0.999999	To protect public health and slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19, gatherings as described below should be postponed or canceled across the state of California for at least the remainder of the month of March. The California Department of Public Health finds the following: • Large gatherings that include 250 people or more should be postponed or canceled. o This includes gatherings such as concerts, conferences, and professional, college, and school sporting events. • Smaller gatherings held in venues that do not allow social distancing of six feet per person should be postponed or canceled. o This includes gatherings in crowded auditoriums, rooms or other venues. • Gatherings of individuals who are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 should be limited to no more than 10 people. o This includes gatherings such as those at retirement facilities, assisted living facilities, developmental homes, and support groups for people with health conditions. • A “gathering” is any event or convening that brings together people in a single room or single space at the same time, such as an auditorium, stadium, arena, large conference room, meeting hall, cafeteria, or any other indoor or outdoor space. o This applies to all non-essential professional, social, and community gatherings regardless of their sponsor. • Gatherings that do not meet the aforementioned criteria should only be conducted when they are essential—that is, if the activity is essential and could not be postponed or achieved without gathering, meaning that some other means of communication could not be used to conduct the essential function. What will this achieve? The timely implementation of aggressive strategies that create social distance and those that reduce close contact of people not regularly together, including limiting gatherings, has proven effective in prior pandemics at delaying rates of transmission and reducing illness and death. By decreasing the prevalence of disease across California we will: • Reduce the number of Californians who contract COVID-19 before an effective treatment or vaccine is available. • Protect those most likely to experience severe symptoms, such as older Californians and those with underlying chronic conditions. • Preserve and protect our health care delivery system, including our health care workforce, so they can care for the least healthy individuals in the community for any medical condition, not just COVID-19. • Minimize the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 over the long run. How long will these limitations apply? This guidance will remain in place at least through the month of March. As with all guidance that relates to COVID-19 response, authorities will revisit this guidance on a regular basis to evaluate the continued public health need for it and to evaluate if any elements need to be changed. To stay informed, continue to monitor this link: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Guidance.aspx What is Social Distancing and how is it achieved? Social distancing is a practice recommended by public health officials to stop or slow down the spread of contagious diseases. It requires the creation of physical space between individuals who may spread certain infectious diseases. The key is to minimize the number of gatherings as much as possible and to achieve space between individuals when events or activities cannot be modified, postponed, or canceled. Although the Department expects most events with more than 250 attendees to be postponed or canceled, we emphasize that the venue space does matter. Achieving space between individuals of approximately six feet is advisable. Additionally, there is a particular focus on creating space between individuals who have come together on a one-time or rare basis and who have very different travel patterns such as those coming from multiple countries, states or counties. What can be done to a make a gathering safer if it is essential or small? • Stagger activities. • Add frequency of an event to spread out attendance, e.g. hold more, smaller gatherings. • Add distance between where individuals sit or stand around tables. • Add additional hand washing stations and restrooms. • Limit the number of people in lines. • Avoid direct physical contact, such as hand-shaking, holding hands, and hugging. • Extend hours to allow for staggering of attendance or participation. • Use phones, videos or video conferencing to reduce the need for close interactions. • Consider ways to encourage anyone with fever and respiratory symptoms to stay home when sick, such as o Offering refunds or support reselling of tickets for persons who become ill. o Placing messages on websites, tickets, and venue entrances reminding people to protect one another by staying home if sick. Examples of Essential Events this Does Not Apply To: The goal of this recommendation is to prevent people physically coming together unnecessarily, where people who have the infection can easily spread it to others. This guidance does not apply to activities such as attendance at regular school classes, work, or essential services. Please see the guidance for schools document for additional information. Certain activities are essential to the functioning of our state and must continue. Hence, this does not apply to essential public transportation, airport travel, or shopping at a store or mall. Other specific guidance can be found on the CDPH website to help people take actions that can protect them in those settings. This does not apply to congregate living situations, including dormitories and homeless encampments. For more information on what can be done to protect homeless individuals, please see the Guidance for Homeless Assistance Providers on Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) (PDF).

0.955176	A third of the businesses in South Asia were not in operation amid the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, according to a recent World Bank working paper. Business closures, sales decline and financial fragility of firms was disproportionately large in the region, the survey found. Firms in South Asia witnessed an overall sales decline of 64 per cent, the paper said. A global database of over 100,000 firms collected by the World Bank was used to put together the report. In Nepal, 46 per cent businesses remained open, followed by 60 per cent in Afghanistan and 72 per cent in Sri Lanka, said the paper. The impact was greater on micro and small firms and female-led firms in South Asia, according to the survey. Financial fragility Nearly two-thirds of the South Asian firms were likely to fall into arrears, a significantly higher share than other regions, showed the Business Pulse Survey done in 30 countries by World Bank. Data from the survey was used in the report. The average probability of falling into arrears for micro and small firms in South Asia was close to 70 per cent, while for large firms it was 52 per cent, it said. Manufacturing firms in the region expect 25 per cent decline in sales, as opposed to 16 per cent for those in agriculture and other services and 14 per cent in retail, according to the survey. There was no significant difference in financial fragility between female- and male-led firms in South Asia, it added. Adjusting to disruptions More than half the firms in South Asia region reduced hours, wages, or granted (paid or unpaid) leave to workers to tide over the crisis brought on by the pandemic, the paper said. South Asian firms lagged behind the rest of the world in responding with digital solutions, the paper noted. Only a quarter of the firms in the region reported an expansion in the use of digital technologies, the survey found. It said firms in accommodation services were particularly lagging behind in increasing the use of digital platforms. Companies across sectors globally have made changes to their offerings to attune to the changing needs amid the pandemic. This includes innovation in product-mix such as textile firms producing masks and hotels becoming quarantine centres to meet the new demand. But South Asian firms lagged behind in restructuring their product-mix, found the survey. Policy support for recovery In South Asia, only 11 per cent firms reported to have availed public support programs, the paper said. The low access was due to information gaps and importance of networks and inter-organisational capital in times of crisis. Policy support was required help the companies spring back to health and have a sustainable recovery, the analysis noted. “To be effective, firm support programs ought to be carefully customised.” The report calls for South Asian governments to promoting linkages between the smaller firms and the more organised larger companies. This will help overcome information gaps and allow for business networks to develop. Access to credit, payment deferral and tax reduction are the most preferred policy choices by firms in South Asia and these are also the most widely received, said the report. अर्थव्यवस्था से जुड़ी सभी खबरें हिंदी में पढ़ें। Economic Development covid-19 business pandemic coronavirus lockdown south asia Economy World Subscribe to Weekly Newsletter : Donate Now We are a voice to you; you have been a support to us.

0.955486	Among a landscape of increasingly complex regulatory reporting and compliance requirements and waning tolerance for poor data quality, how can financial institutions take control of their data in order to meet the great expectations of the modern regulator? For financial institutions across the UK and Europe, ensuring the quality and accuracy of your data has never been more important to the reporting process – or less straightforward. With COVID-19 becoming the world's 'new normal', regulators have made it clear that the time for excuses is over. They will no longer be tolerating compliance or reporting errors. But data is often stored across multiple repositories and jurisdictions, hampered by manual processes and a lack of oversight. Complexity is rife, mistakes commonplace and data confidence low. Our recent whitepaper on data integrity revealed that not only will regulators no longer accept reporting errors, they will also be enforcing regulations even more strictly. To avoid non-compliance, financial institutions must ensure true data integrity – and they can do so by following five key principles. 1. Data integrity must start at the source Problems often start early on, in the data collection phase. Financial institutions struggle to deal with different data sources, feeds and formats. They find themselves fighting an uphill battle in terms of data quality. And banks recognise this as an issue themselves: ‘the issue is that we’re not collecting data properly at source,” the Director of Data Management Technology at a major French bank stated in our white paper. “The fact that data is such a mess coming in is what makes it difficult to use.” Fortunately, early on is also when problems are easiest to tackle. By simplifying processes and using automation to eliminate manual errors, firms can make their lives a whole lot easier. While the initial instinct might be to attempt to create a ‘golden source’ – a single view of the truth – “the effort required to create and manage it can reduce the flexibility and responsiveness of the organisation, stifling innovation”, according to the whitepaper. It’s a delicate balancing act – one facilitated by data agnostic solutions, which allow firms to take any data, from anywhere, and use it as needed, without additional transformation work. 2. Stay in step with regulators Financial institutions must be able to monitor and keep up with new areas of scrutiny and importance for regulators. Increasingly they face a “global landscape characterised by regulatory complexity and scrutiny.” Every aspect of their business - reporting, trading, operations - is being watched, as regulatory tolerance for errors declines. Those who have done their due diligence will have noticed that regulators are increasingly focused on data quality, with new initiatives and investigations dedicated to this space. As a case in point, the European Securities Markets Association (ESMA) recently launched an investigation into data quality for both European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR). Similarly , the Bank of England (BoE) imposed a £44 million fine on Citigroup’s UK operations in 2019 for failing to provide accurate regulatory returns over a four-year period. 3. Higher expectations; greater granularity Regulators are not only analysing the reports that firms submit. “Increasingly, they want to understand the data that underpins them – how it was sourced, validated and where values have come from,” our whitepaper revealed. As such, it is not enough for a firm’s data just to be right. They need to be able to prove the source and validity of every piece of data given to the regulator. That means the ability to map the data with greater granularity and more comprehensive lineage. This can result in greater costs for those reliant on manual processes. According to the Head of Business Data at a Tier 1 European bank, “achieving greater granularity and lineage of data enables more use-cases for the data, but it also means greater cost as this is still a manual exercise.” As such, the need for automation when it comes to data integrity is greater than ever. Automation doesn’t just make things cheaper – it yields better results. It removes the risk of human error inherent in manual work, which is why many firms are now looking to automate their data integrity and control processes. 4. An ever-changing landscape Regulations are rarely, if ever, a one-and-done. Financial institutions face frequent compliance updates that add complexity, increase the number of data fields, and require more frequent reporting. For example, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently introduced the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT), bringing in a new requirement for financial institutions to track all activity throughout the US for listed-equities and options, and map transaction data against counterparties’ transaction reports – a mammoth task considering the volumes involved. An extremely low error rate is required to meet reporting obligations, and a robust mechanism for counterparty communication to resolve issues quickly. The scale of Consolidated Audit Trail reporting is the ultimate motivation for firms to drive their error rates down as far as possible. And there are similar changes expected across Europe, too. Firms can expect, pretty much in perpetuity, to be compelled to continue making updates and adjustments to their data collection, validation and reporting processes. When even seemingly minor adjustments can result in a great deal of work on the back end, solid data integrity is essential. 5. Power in numbers Finding the right technology partner – one that can empower a firm to connect and control their data across their enterprise and the wider financial ecosystem, covering not only regulatory reporting, but also reconciliation and post trade automation, and cash management and payments – can make all the difference when it comes to meeting these ever-increasing requirements. Firms are saddled with the twin challenges of greater expectations and greater scrutiny, as rules become more complex and regulators less flexible. Yet they must persevere. The entire business needs to be aware not only of the risk of compliance failure or inaccuracies, but also of the cost burden that a lack of data integrity places on the organisation in the long run. To learn more about how data integrity can support your regulatory compliance and reporting, download our white paper: Data integrity: Your key to confidence in a complex regulatory environment.
0.999965	Allah The Almighty supported His Prophets with miracles, which are extraordinary events that are usually of the same nature that the people of that particular prophet excelled at. For instance, the people of Prophet Moosa excelled at magic, so the miracle of Prophet Moosa was that he threw his staff and it turned to a serpent. Likewise, the people of Prophet ‘Eesa excelled at medicine, so Prophet ‘Eesa cured the blind and the leper, and gave life to the dead by the permission of Allah The Almighty. The Arabs excelled at poetry and rhetoric and therefore Allah The Almighty sent them the Quran and it was a miracle that they were not even able to compose one Soorah (Chapter) like it. Below are some of the miracles of the Prophets, may Allah exalt their mention: The miracle of Salih Allah The Almighty sent Prophet Saalih to his people to call them to worship Allah The Almighty alone, and not to associate any partners with Him. They asked him to bring them proof of what he was saying, so Allah The Almighty supported him with the miracle of the she-camel. He made a unique she-camel emerge from between the mountain rocks. Some of them believed him, but the majority of them disbelieved and intended to kill the she-camel. Prophet Salih warned them saying (what means): {And to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allah [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allah's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.} [Quran 7:73] The miracle of Ibraheem (Abraham) Ibraheem rejected the practices of his people. They worshipped idols that could neither harm nor benefit them. One day, he destroyed the idols without anyone seeing him. When his people came to know that it was Ibraheem who had done that, they prepared a huge fire and threw him into it. However, the fire did not burn Ibraheem and did not affect him at all, as Allah The Almighty ordered it not to burn him. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act. "Allah Said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham." And they intended for him harm, but We Made them the greatest losers.} [Quran 21:68-70] The miracle of Moosa (Moses) Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?"He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses." [Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses." So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly.} [Quran 20:17-20] The staff was one of the miracles given to Prophet Moosa . By that staff, he defeated the magicians of Pharaoh, extracted water from rock and turned the sea into land by the permission of Allah The Almighty so that He would save the believers and punish the disbelievers. The miracles of ‘Eesa The miracle of Prophet ‘Eesa was that he cured the blind and the leper, and gave life to the dead by the permission of Allah The Almighty. He would design the form of a bird from clay, breathe into itand it became a bird by the permission of Allah The Almighty. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.} [Quran 3:49] Another miracle of Prophet ‘Eesa was the table that was sent down from heaven with food. His people wanted him to ask Allah The Almighty to send down a table spread with food so that their faith would increase. They urged him to supplicate His Lord to do so, and he warned them, but they insisted, so Allah The Almighty sent down the table so that it would be a miracle of Prophet ‘Eesa . Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {[And remember] when the disciples said, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven? [Jesus] said," Fear Allah, if you should be believers."They said, "We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses."Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers. "Allah said, "Indeed, I will send it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the Worlds."} [Quran 5: 112-115]
0.99996	Since Blake Bortles has really started turning it on in the second half of this season I noticed he hasn't said "I" at all. It's all been, "WE'VE been playing better … THEY'VE been making unbelievable plays." Then, I started thinking a little about the past couple of years when he has struggled and recalled a bunch of "I need to play better" and "I need to make better decisions." I love a team player that will own up to things he needs to do better when things aren't going well, but also can't stop talking about the high level of play from the team when things are going well. He already has been given some one fers for his level of play as of late, but one fer Blake with his off-field leadership as well! John: I've said often in recent weeks that Jaguars players believed in Bortles long before media, observers or most Jaguars fans believed in him. Part of the reason for that is players saw him practicing at a high level this season; they therefore understood that although he had a few glaring errors at the end of games, he was a major reason – and perhaps the primary reason – that the Jaguars were functioning offensively much of the season. But the other reason for the belief is the reason you cited. Bortles always has handled himself well in and out of the locker room, and he understands a lot of things involved with the quarterback position. Teammates have always wanted him to perform well, and always have wanted to believe in him. He's playing well enough this season for that to happen. So, one fer Bortles' off-field leadership? It's realistically probably closer to 53. Todd from Frederick, MD: Hi, John. With an outside chance at the No. 2 seed, do you see Jaguars Head Coach Doug Marrone changing the lineup against the 'Niners should the Rams beat the Titans in the early game? John: No. John from Nowheresville: Mr. O! I believe the Jags can win it all this year based on how they are playing in December. I think there have been three significant events to help along the way. One, Blake Bortles was told he had to win the starting quarterback job to start the year; two, Jason Myers was replaced after missing kicks; and, Leonard Fournette was benched during the season in an important game. It started in training camp, but those three things showed that the players are held accountable. Make no mistake: no one is above the team. Can't wait to see a run through the playoffs! Go Jags! #DTWD John: I also would say the signings of defensive end Calais Campbell, cornerback A.J. Bouye and safety Barry Church were significant – and that the development of cornerback Jalen Ramsey, defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and linebacker Myles Jack darned sure has been significant. Don't overlook the slew of other players playing at a high level, either; none of the off-field, foundation, culture stuff matters much if players aren't making plays. Still, your point is correct: Jaguars Head Coach Doug Marrone has made it clear from Day One that the best players are going to play and that team is going to come first – and mostly, you better perform and not have your actions do anything to hurt the idea of winning. Those things would have been clear without the events you cite, but generally speaking the three events pretty much fit the pattern. Jags fan 818 from Jacksonville: Hey, Zone. Gotta give credit when credit is due. Kudos to Jadeveon Clowney for turning a bad situation around and making it good! More money out of his pocket, but a very thoughtful thing he did! We won't forget the remark come next year, though! Go Jaguars! Can't wait to see the cap and t-shirts!!! John: Yep, one fer Clowney. And one fer the fans. And one fer Bortles. This is all supposed to be fun, remember. And Trashgate made this week a lot more fun. Trevor from Texas Country: Does Cam Robinson really have what it takes to be the starter of the future? Clowney seemed to have his way last Sunday even though he didn't get a sack and was definitely the better player that day. I understand he is a rookie and has some maturing to do as every rookie does. Being the man at left tackle is one of the harder jobs in the NFL, but I have my doubts with his quickness. He gets beat often by quicker edge rushers like Ingram and Clowney. John: Robinson does have what it takes to be a starting left tackle in the NFL – and eventually a very good one. He's a rookie and has played a lot this season with ankle issue. Remember, too: A lot of veterans get beat by Melvin Ingram and Jadeveon Clowney. Robinson is a very young NFL rookie and has some improving to do. But there's little question around this team that he will do just that. Rob from Janesville, WI: I got accused of being a bandwagon fan yesterday! I didn't know if I should be offended or honored! I retold him the horrors of watching Blaine Gabbert, Matt Jones, Justin Blackmon's ordeal, 2-14 season, and the terrible drafts under Gene Smith. It made me realize how far this team really has come and how much fun this season really is. John: #Bandwagon Brosher from Jacksonville: So who's a better receiver, Keelan Cole or Dede Westbrook? John: It looks like both rookies have a chance to be really good, with Cole showing a remarkable ability to get open deep and make plays on the ball – and Westbrook showing an ability to get open in tight space and also to make plays on the ball. Bottom line: receivers don't often develop into anything close to their full potential in their first season or two. In the case of these two players, one (Cole) has played 14 NFL games and the other (Westbrook) has played five. The better receiver? To be determined … Frank from St. Augustine, FL: Seen delivering trash cans to NRG Stadium in Houston. #shadricksighting John: I can vouch for this. Mike from Navarre, OH: What a difference a year can make. Last year, we were ruining the Titans playoff hopes on Christmas Eve. This year, we are securing our seeding. Do you see the success we are having as sustainable year to year – or are we a one-hit wonder this year and is this merely a fluke? John: It's hard enough to predict week-to-week outcomes in the NFL, much less year-to-year outcomes. But there's nothing about the Jaguars to indicate they can't be successful in the coming few seasons. The only major players not under contract for next season are cornerback Aaron Colvin, wide receiver Allen Robinson and wide receiver Marqise Lee. I doubt Colvin will return, and I expect either Lee or wide receiver Allen Hurns not to return. But every NFL team – no matter how successful undergoes offseason change. The elements are in place for long-term success. That's particularly true of what we're seeing much of this season from Bortles. The most consistent character trait of year-to-year successful teams is consistent, high-level performance at quarterback. The Jaguars can maintain a certain level of their success even if Bortles isn't as good as he's been in recent weeks, but his performance recently sure makes winning a lot easier. Scott from Satsuma, CA: Big O: If our "D" keeps its pace and our quarterback stays solid like he has the last six or seven games, is it fair to say the team' chances of playing Super Bowl Sunday is 60 percent? John: No. The chances are 61.35 percent. C'mon, Scott … keep up. It's playoff time. One from Playa del Carmen, Mexico: One fer David Caldwell. Bortles' ascension suddenly raises Caldwell's draft history from 'impressive' to 'outstanding'... John: It certainly changes the narrative, doesn't it? It's often said that it's difficult if not impossible to accurately judge a draft class before Year 4 or so. It turns out there's a reason that's often said. Steve from Upper Tract, WI: My son has ridiculed me for many years because I watch every minute of every Jaguars game. He often asked me why do I watch every minute of every game when they are so terrible? My response was always the same. In order for me to fully appreciate the success this team will have one day I must endure every minute of its misery. And now finally I get to enjoy pro football again. It's been awhile! John: I hope you ridiculed your son and made him feel small. I'm a big believer in this approach. It's good parenting because it builds character, and it sure is fun.

0.99957	This week’s surprising primary election results in Argentina sparked a sharp sell-off in both the country’s stock market and its currency, which at one point was down roughly 30% versus the U.S. dollar. We take a closer look at the economic and political stakes in the months ahead. Presidential primaries are a relatively new phenomenon in Argentina—they were introduced in 2009 to reduce the number of candidates in the general presidential election; voting in the primaries is compulsory and open to all voters regardless of party affiliation. As recently as last weekend, the results favored the opposition coalition of Alberto Fernandez, who had about 48% of the votes, with the sitting President Mauricio Macri’s coalition gathering only 32%. The opposition coalition includes the presidential candidate himself, long-time political fixture Alberto Fernandez, and vice presidential candidate Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who was president herself from 2007 to 2015. The general presidential election is scheduled for October 27, and outright victory requires at least 45% of votes or for a candidate to garner 40% of the vote and hold a 10-point lead over second place. If necessary, the top two candidates will face a second-round vote scheduled for November 24. The last day of the current administration is December 10. How Fernandez took the markets by surprise—and why it matters The results in the primaries represent the most negative tail-risk scenario and reflect investors’ fears that, under a Fernandez administration, the country would go back to the populist policies of the 15 years prior to President Macri’s election in 2015, particularly those espoused by Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The surprise factor in the primary results so far has been Mr. Fernandez’s margin of victory. Essentially, all of the major polls forecast him finishing with a small 2- to 4-point lead, forcing a second-round vote, which the incumbent Mr. Macri was predicted as likely to win. None of the pollsters forecast a margin as wide as today’s 15 points. This week’s election represents an awkward not-yet transition period: Despite Mr. Fernandez gathering the largest vote totals in the primaries, he's still just a candidate, and the current administration under Mr. Macri has another 10 weeks before the general election. No transition period can begin until a winner is declared either in the first- or second-round vote. What happens next: no guarantees of a Fernandez victory or dramatic policy changes As of this writing, the market consensus is that there's little likelihood that the Macri coalition goes on to reverse the primary vote, given the two big challenges facing the current administration. On one hand, the administration needs to concentrate efforts on stabilizing the macroeconomic situation while maintaining its positive course regarding fiscal and monetary policies per the directives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On the other hand, Mr. Macri faces the uphill battle of reinvigorating his campaign and reinforcing his message to overcome the wide vote deficit experienced in the primaries. While the base case is that the Fernandez coalition will win, it’s not a foregone conclusion what policies will follow or that his administration will seek to reverse policies implemented under President Macri. Mr. Fernandez is often described as a pragmatist, so markets should expect his administration to offer a combination of both mainstream and unorthodox policies—for example, on issues such as social benefits. And there are reasons to believe preserving some of the current administration’s momentum would be well advised: Given the early signs of economic recovery in Argentina and the recent decline in inflation into the third quarter, the prospect of policy continuity had led to strong performance in both hard currency sovereign bonds (up roughly 9%) and Argentina’s local stock market (the MERVAL Index was up about 43%)—all the way up until last Friday, August 9.1 The market reaction, of course, has been swift and severe and reflects pricing in the prospect of radical changes to current policy direction. We believe it's in the best interest of all political factions to maintain a constructive relationship with the IMF and to manage the country’s debt load with a market-friendly framework. We'd expect signals of moderation from the Fernandez camp, but it's still premature given where we are in the election cycle. As always, we're monitoring the situation closely and will reassess the implications for our strategies and our investors once more information becomes available. 1 Hard currency Argentine debt is a component of the J.P.

0.99959	Tags: badhealth, badmedicine, BiPAP, blood oxygen, coronavirus, covid-19, CPAP, Dangerous Medicine, disease, Flu, hypoxemia, outbreak, pandemic, Pneumonia, Study, superbugs, ventilator, virus Bypass censorship by sharing this link: https://www.distributednews.com/429823.html Copy URL (Natural News) The use of ventilators to treat COVID-19 patients has come under scrutiny after a new study stated that the devices may be doing more harm than good. The study, published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, said that mechanical ventilation can damage the lungs of COVID-19 patients, especially those who are elderly or have severe symptoms. This means that healthcare professionals will have to re-evaluate their reliance on ventilators for these patients and stop being so quick to intubate. “This is one of the first coherent, comprehensive, and reasonably clear discussions of the pathophysiology of Covid-19 in the lungs that I’ve seen,” said Dr. Muriel Gillick, a palliative care physician at Harvard Medical School who was not involved with the study. Gillick was among the experts who questioned the effectiveness of ventilators in COVID-19 patients, according to STAT. High-pressure oxygen damages the lungs The reason why intubation and mechanical ventilation damages the lungs of very ill and elderly patients could be down to a poorly understood function of the disease, which behaves differently than other respiratory illnesses. The lungs of COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms are often covered with thick mucus. This prevents the lungs from being able to absorb oxygen, even with the use of a ventilator. In addition, unlike other types of pneumonia, the areas of lung damage in COVID-19 patients often sit right next to healthy tissue. When large volumes of oxygen-rich air are forced into the elastic at high pressures, it can lead to what the study calls “ventilator-induced injury.” These injuries include leaks, inflammation and blood clots in the lungs. “Invasive ventilation can be lifesaving, but can also damage the lung,” co-author Marcus Schultz told STAT. Patients with low levels of blood oxygen don’t necessarily require ventilation Most healthcare professionals tend to use hypoxemia — having abnormally low levels of oxygen in the blood — as a sign that a patient needs mechanical ventilation. But, as the researchers pointed out, equating hypoxemia to the need for a ventilator can lead healthcare workers astray. While the team agrees that a patient who is clearly struggling to breathe should be intubated, they noted that hypoxemia in COVID-19 patients manifests differently than with other diseases like other forms of pneumonia or sepsis. For non-COVID-19 patients exhibiting hypoxemia, they often gasp for air and can barely speak. However, coronavirus patients — even those with blood oxygen levels at 80 percent or lower — can speak full sentences without getting winded. In addition, these patients don’t show the usual signs of respiratory distress associated with hypoxemia. For comparison, normal blood oxygen levels are in the high 90s. “In our personal experience, hypoxemia … is often remarkably well tolerated by Covid-19 patients,” the researchers wrote. “The trigger for intubation should, within certain limits, probably not be based on hypoxemia but more on respiratory distress and fatigue.” Without any signs of distress, the researchers state that the blood oxygen levels of coronavirus patients don’t need to be raised above 88 percent. This is a much lower level than in other causes of pneumonia. University of California, San Francisco’s Phil Rosenthal, editor of the journal, agreed with the researchers, stating that it was important to highlight “aspects of COVID-19 that differ from other diseases that require respiratory support.” He said that recognizing the difference in how COVID-19 patients respond to low blood oxygen levels compared to patients of other illnesses “may allow physicians to avoid intubation/ventilator support in some patients.” There is a growing recognition that coronavirus patients, even those with a severe lung infection, can be treated safely with simple face masks and nose prongs that deliver oxygen. The former include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks often used for patients with sleep apnea, or biphasic positive airway pressure masks (BiPAP) used for those with congestive heart failure. CPAP can also be delivered using hood or helmets, reducing the risk that the patient will expel large quantities of the virus into the air and endanger healthcare workers and other patients. In addition, in the face of ventilator shortages, switching to CPAP and BiPAP masks can allow healthcare systems to keep ventilators in reserve for those patients who do need them.

0.907831	I recently sat down to enjoy a new novel - I didn't know much of anything about it except that the summary looked interesting and the cover was nice (this is how I choose a lot of my books). I was just getting into the story when the first female character was introduced, body-first and full of cliches. I cringed a little but kept reading. Truthfully, if I stopped reading every time I came across a bad instance of female characterization, I would cut my cannon very short. It became clear pretty quickly that there would be no women in this 400-ish page novel that the main character would not either sleep with or imagine sleeping with besides his own mother and one woman who stated immediately that she was gay (although a conversation with her ex-husband included him asking if he "turned her gay"). I finished the book, and there was a lot worth praising - the ideas were good, the dialogue was fun and the plot moved along nicely. I wanted to like it more. Instead, it went in the pile of books that I would sing praises of - if maybe 10% more effort had gone into considering what exactly was being said about women. In order to illustrate what I'm talking about, I've found that you can often separate the particularly glaring examples of MWW cliches into three categories: 1. "She never wears makeup" but is definitely wearing makeup 2. Confusion/sexualization of basic anatomy and hygiene practices 3. Boobs. Part I: The Makeup Myth Makeup and the expectations around its use is a complex issue that I won't fully cover here, but the cliche of naturally beautiful women who don't wear makeup shows up in a lot of literature. Almost every woman I know has been told, however well-meaningly, that they "look great without makeup" while wearing at least 4-5 products on their face, and most of us have also had the experience of being asked if we're ill or tired on the occasion that we don't. All this to say: it may not be hugely detrimental, but making your female characters less realistic than the men can be distracting to someone trying to simply enjoy the story. "She feared getting fat so she worked out hard and often. Her smooth white skin contrasted vividly with her rose-colored cheeks, black eyebrows, and long eye-lashes - she seldom wore makeup, didn't need it. Most of the women she knew hated the way she looked, but not the men." - Bill Buchanan, Virus There's to unpack here (like the fact that this woman is being introduced in the context of the story as a skilled pilot in command of several people, or maybe the lazy assumption that women hate other women who they perceive to be more attractive) but it is a particularly clear example of the makeup myth. Every feature listed is one that women regularly enhance with makeup, the end goal being to not look like you are wearing makeup. As a woman reading this paragraph, I assume that she does a basic five-minute face in the morning, including concealer for smooth skin, blush for rosy cheeks, eyebrow pencil to darken the brow to black, and mascara to lengthen eyelashes. Or maybe she just happens to have extra rosy cheeks, long lashes, thick brows, and perfect skin all at once. I guess it is fiction. Part II: A Womb of Ones Own Literature is far from the only place where we find confusion about female anatomy - it is also apparent in education, pop culture, and government regulations. But literature can bring out the most confusing examples, mainly because several editorial eyes need to have gone over these passages before they were published, and not one of them thought to amend them. "She felt more intensely feminine than she had in years - a warm, wet feeling both delicious and uncomfortable. She went into the bathroom and took a shower. She wished she had bought one of those feminine hygiene deodorants she had seen advertised, but, lacking that, she powdered herself and daubed cologne behind her ears, inside her elbows, behind her knees, on her nipples, and on her genitals. There was a full-length mirror in the bedroom, and she stood before it, examining herself...Her face was unblemished and unscarred. There were no droops or sags or pouches. She stood straight and admired the contours of her breasts. Her waist was slim, her belly flat - the reward for endless hours of exercise after each child. The only problem, as she assessed her body critically, was her hips...They signalled motherhood. They were, as Brody once said, breeder's hips...Her legs were long and - below the pad of fat on her rear - slender. Her ankles were delicate, and her feet - with the toenails neatly pruned - were perfect enough to suit any pediphile." Peter Benchley, Jaws The paragraph begins with Benchley imagining what it would feel like to feel feminine - and coming up with a feeling vaguely like sex. Then she strips, of course, showers, and perfumes herself in areas that are not only confusing but can also definitely cause yeast infections. She admires her perfect body in the mirror - perfect, despite her having children, except for her hips, which unfortunately look like she's had children. She has delicate ankles (what century are we in?) and feet perfect for fetishizing, which she uses as a metric for determining their worth. And the worst part of it all is that she's probably about to be eaten by a shark anyway, so it was all for naught. "The cold air made my hair stand up from the roots the way my nipples stood erect, every follicle on my arms and legs becoming a tiny clitoris, and every cell of me awake and alert at rigid attention." - Chuck Palahnuik, Damned Fun fact: just the external section of the clitoris has more nerves and sensitivity than a full penis. So for our male readers, what is going on here is every hair follicle on this poor woman's body has just become more sensitive than an erect penis because SHE IS COLD. "It's like she can feel her ovaries tighten, breaking off a decade's worth of ice and snow." - Chuck Wendig, Mockingbird Please seek medical attention. "She was the kind of woman that oozed sexuality from every curvaceous pore, the kind who gave the impression she was naked even when fully clothed - the kind who made wives angry." Marc Cameron, Code of Honor I do not hate this just because of the disgusting image of anything oozing from pores, or because I can't seem to wrap my head around the spacial reasoning of pores being curvacious. I hate it because this kind of language is insidious. It finds its way into assault and shame and blame. A woman does not have to do anything to tempt men except exist. A woman can walk around fully clothed and somehow still be naked. A woman is sexual in every time and place, not by choice, and the reactions of men and wives will still be her fault. Sorry, we'll go back to being funny now. Part III: Breasting Boobily: The Titty Tendency It goes without saying that literature written by men often reflects an obsession with breasts. Finding examples for this one was not difficult, but my favorite instances are when supposedly heterosexual female narrators are just as transfixed as their male creators. "You could tell the kind of person Lucy was from her breasts. They were, as we already know, small and pert; challenging little tits, pointy and fierce, as were her nose and chin, although the latter were not so much so as to render her unattractive...Her breasts were the sort to make a man long to reach out and grab them and at the same time cause him to be afraid and want to run away and hide." - John Harding, One Big Damn Puzzler I like to envision this passage setting off a new trend in crystal ball parlors and palm-reading over-lofts: Titty Tarot. Tell your future via mammary glands. Gain insight into yourself through mystical groping. Big nipples for a big personality. Darker for the more brooding types. On the other hand, the idea that one's breasts could strike fear into men is fairly attractive. "...a lime green polo shirt caught her eye. It wasn't the colour she noticed, but the jutting out chest of the girl wearing the lime green polo shirt...The stiff and curved chest moved past where Sara sat. 'Effin hell,' a third boy on the steps said. The girl with the big chest and negligible waist had to bend around the boys..." - Sheheryar Sheikh, The Still Point of a Turning World This passage (narrated by a female character who has presumably seen breasts before) is a great example of the use of "synecdoche", defined by Mirriam-Webster as "a figure of speech by which a part is put for the whole (such as fifty sail for fifty ships), the whole for a part (such as society for high society), the species for the genus (such as cutthroat for assassin), the genus for the species (such as a creature for a man), or the name of the material for the thing made (such as boards for stage)". Or, as Mr Sheikh has chosen, chest for a girl. "Verenskaya's lower legs had been cut off...But Verenskaya seemed all right. She was still in a deep sleep, and her firm breasts slowly moved up and down as she breathed. Normally, Ike would have admired such a sight, but right now she only felt a supernatural fright." Liu Cixin, Death's End Speaking of parts for a whole, this lovely lady, while newly legless, seems languidly unconcerned. And why should she be - her breasts are still firm. Her worth is intact. "Her big breasts, which had never suckled a child of her own, felt a merciless compassion." "She felt responsibility move in her breasts..." "...he saw a mouth which wanted the sexual embrace, the shape of breasts demanding a child." "She sat there completely at her ease, her big breasts ready for any secrets." - Graham Greene, Brighton Rock Here we have what I like to call the Uncanny Cleavage, or breasts that have seemingly achieved sentience. Just within one novel, we have breasts that can feel compassion, responsibility, self-advocate, and determine themselves ready to perform emotional labor. Conclusion: Fighting the Fallopian Fallacies My purpose in writing this was not to condemn all male authors to irrelevancy. Most of the authors listed above have other very worthy literary accomplishments. The point here is that it is so easy to avoid these cliches, and the benefit to both author and reader is enormous. There is an obvious caveat here, which is: what if the authors are doing this on purpose to make their narrators unlikeable? What if they are trying to write a character who's an asshole and this is a way to do it? In that case, congratulations. You've succeeded in making your character unlikeable. But if this is the only way that you show this particular tendency, while going for a sympathetic vibe overall, then it may not be the best method of characterization for you. If it's not, then I would encourage you to consider: does the world need another story about an asshole?
0.999994	Editorial Article: Nanotrap particles offer a simple and rapid way to concentrate extracellular vesicles and exosomes Dr. Clifton Ray discusses the potential of Nanotrap particles to advance extracellular vesicle research, and how his team is using them to break down barriers in isolation, screening, and disease diagnostics 23 Jul 2020 Extracellular vesicle research, particularly around exosomes, is an area of growing interest among scientists, with studies suggesting that exosomes could help solve many of biology’s unanswered questions. Exosomes have been investigated for their role in cell-to-cell communication and the evolution of disease states. In this exclusive SelectScience interview, Dr. Clifton Ray, Senior Scientist at ZenBio, along with his colleagues, Senior Scientist Dr. Michael Van Kanegan, and Dr. John W. Ludlow, Vice President at ZenBio, discuss the team’s work on exosomes and their potentially regenerative properties, sharing challenges the team has faced and the emerging solutions. Ray reveals how Nanotrap® particles are helping them achieve their research goals, by enriching exosome capture, which might enable them to serve both diagnostic and prognostic purposes. The trio explains how Nanotrap particles have made it possible to rapidly isolate and concentrate extracellular vesicles and exosomes for downstream applications, and ultimately look ahead to an ambitious future. Dr. Clifton Ray, Senior Scientist at ZenBio, along with his colleagues, Senior Scientist Dr. Michael Van Kanegan, and Dr. John W. Ludlow SS: Tell us a bit about ZenBio and your current research CR: ZenBio is a small biotech company located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Since 1995, we have successfully provided primary human cells to our customers and clients. ZenBio has continued to grow and we now provide cell-based kits and research services, whilst currently exploring exosomes. As a senior scientist, I assist leading our exosome team, a team associated with the R&D of exosome analysis, including biomarker expression, as well as the investigation of exosome translational effects in vitro. We will soon be expanding our work to in vivo investigations. MVK: We have really jumped onto the new facet of exosome research since there are now a lot of interesting aspects we can investigate in this area. We have expertise in human cell biology and primary cell culture. We are now able to grow, capture, purify, characterize, and provide exosomes to our customers and clients for therapeutic-based or research-based applications. JWL: ZenBio views itself primarily as an enabling company. We provide goods and services to a variety of academic and commercial labs, to essentially ensure their research is accomplished in a reasonable time frame. Even though we have decided to focus more on the R&D and potential regenerative properties of exosomes, there is a lot of work being conducted in the field to take exosomes and use them for both diagnostic and prognostic purposes. SS: Tell us about your objectives around human extracellular vesicles (EVs) CR: Our vision is to continue expanding the exosome field and pushing the limits on what we can do with EVs, specifically exosomes. We currently use ultracentrifugation techniques, as well as size-exclusion chromatography and tangential flow filtration to isolate and purify these exosomes. We're now trying to figure out the different ways to enhance and capture exosomes in order to use them for transitional studies, wherein we take advantage of the properties of the exosomes and start generating biological effects that we wish to obtain, both in vitro and in vivo. Eventually, this will also enable us to look at exosome characterization and understand what is happening within a patient. When investigating disease states, we can see from liquid biopsies whether the patient is recovering from the disease and what the state of the disease is, which is where we think we can come into play. SS: What are your current challenges? CR: Our biggest challenges are being able to produce enough of the EVs needed for analysis, obtaining the appropriate volume of EVs, and ensuring that the EV sample is effectively concentrated for analysis. It can be difficult to gauge what is in our sample, since there can be many different proteins, DNA, and RNA that exist in liquid biopsies or conditioned media when we are working in vitro. It can be challenging to look for a specific marker in EVs, and we do not yet have a system to determine how this can be achieved. JWL: The Nanotrap technology is helping us concentrate the EVs and exosomes. Regarding concentration, some of the tools we use for analysis require only microgram amounts of protein, and when we are working with exosomes, we are looking at picogram to nanogram amounts. So, a new way to concentrate these small concentrations is our next step. MVK: The exosome field is rapidly evolving. It is our goal to try to stay at the forefront of this evolution, to predict or even help push the field forward. SS: What tools are you currently using to help you achieve your goals? CR: The Nanotrap technology is adding value to our research. We essentially introduce the Nanotrap particles within our sample solutions and observe how we can concentrate our samples down after size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). We have found that when we do the SEC, we are left with a sample volume that is too large and too dilute for what we need to do downstream. The Nanotrap particles enable us to concentrate our EVs down to a smaller volume so that we can effectively work with them in other assays that we wish to run with the EVs. We also use several other different tools including ultracentrifugation, which is somewhat the standard method to use for EV isolation. We also use immunoprecipitation beads and antibody-capture methods. JWL: To give an idea of scale, the fractions that we take off the SEC column are around a milliliter. We may have 1012 EVs in the milliliter, however, for our experiment, we need to reduce this down to a volume of 25 microliters and still have the 1012 EVs. SEC will not permit this, so we have had to explore an alternative way to concentrate our samples down by incorporating the Nanotrap technology. SS: What are the key benefits of using the Nanotrap particles? CR: In regard to implementing the technology into our laboratory space, the Nanotrap technology is a very simple and straightforward technology. We find these particles are highly efficient in capturing the EVs themselves, as well as the EV populations we’re interested in, where we have seen a high percentage of capture from serum and from our conditioned media. We are able to rapidly concentrate EVs taken from donated liquid biopsies, and therefore we can enhance our basic science research because we have saved time and resources with this technology. Another really interesting thing that we learned about Nanotrap particles is that they do not appear to cause or elicit a cytotoxic response. We conducted a preliminary investigation on cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells taken from human donors. We used the Nanotrap particles and observed the cytotoxicity by increasing the dosage of the Nanotrap particles of cultured cells. We found from our lab data assays that these particles did not cause or elicit a cytotoxic response that was any greater than the control media itself. MVK: A key benefit to the Nanotrap particles is the quick turnaround time, as well as ease of use, without the need for expensive equipment, therefore we are obtaining results quickly and saving money with this technology. SS: What do you see as the future developments in this area? CR: We are now able to run downstream analysis very rapidly so that we can better understand what EVs or exosomes mean in the context of human disease and pathology. Another way we can see this expanded upon is by releasing the EVs from the Nanotrap particles. Once we have achieved this, we will be able to enhance our processes in vitro, where we plan to do more translational approaches around EVs and exosomes. Fortunately, we have grants to enable us to investigate EV and exosome therapeutics within different disease states; as such, we could use the Nanotrap particles for some of those experiments. JWL: It is quite possible that the Nanotrap particles could be used as a delivery vehicle for a large number of exosomes, which could potentially have therapeutic value. One of the reasons why Clifton Ray performed the PBMC cytotoxicity study was to make sure that when we use these particles, they will not harm or kill the cells. We also want to conduct capacity studies, to try to figure out how many exosomes can adhere to the particles, which we are hoping to conduct in the near future.

We are so thankful that everyone we asked recommended to go to Shives. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with love and care and never felt rushed or pressured to commit to anything. Kelsey took care of us and even a year later when the COVID regulations were lessened, helped us coordinate a beautiful cross-county memorial and burial service that our family and friends truly appreciated. Thank you Shives Funeral Home for going above and beyond in a very hard time for our family. Your assistance was truly a blessing. -Sandra and Carrie Gabbert” Sandra and Carrie Gabbert June 22, 2021 “They take care of you and everything that needs attention. Have had several services there in the last few years, the last two was my brother and my Mom. Bobby Raines came in on his weekend off just to handle my Mom’s needs, since he is from Blythewood and knows my sister and her family well. I can not express how professional he and the staff always are. They make a difficult time a little easier to handle.” Bonnie Jeter McManus February 24, 2020 “I cannot express enough gratitude to the Shives family for their kindness and professionalism during the planning and implementation my grandmother’s recent funeral service; everything was beautiful and seamless. Kelcey and the staff at this location are 5-star all the way. Thank you for making this very difficult time a little easier for us.” Kristin Brogden September 18, 2019 “During a difficult time with my mom passing Randolph Shives & Kelcey Dickinson helped make the process easy. Highly recommend.” Scott McLaughlin July 12, 2019 “They are the best no other can come close to the personal care they provide to everyone they have taken care of so many of my family members” Jane Lee June 07, 2016 “At a difficult time in our lives, the kind people at Shives were gracious, professional and so very supporting. I give them my highest recommendation.” Kimberly Giger September 06, 2019 “Shives went above and beyond for me and my family during this difficult time. The staff listed to my needs and I took comfort in knowing they weren't out just for money but to make the family be comfortable and at peace while putting our loved one to rest. I would recommend this company to anyone who is currently dealing with the loss of a loved one. Thank you again to all of the staff at Shives, you have given me peace of mind. Thank you again , sincerely Dawn Fraizer” Dawn Fraizer March 18, 2020 “The service and the people that work there.

They were very kind and helpful to us while planning our Moms funeral.” Rosmin Miller Butterfield January 15, 2018 “I know. How can you possibly love a funeral home? Well. It's family owned and they're very personal. Randolph Shives is an amazing caring man who never leaves tour side as you make your loved ones final preparations. We all will eventually make it there and I will definently make it my final place.”
0.982555	A supporter of Ugandan musician turned politician Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, carries his poster as they protest against his arrest during a presidential rally in Kampala on November 18, 2020. PHOTO \| AFP Summary According to the government, the channels misrepresent information, views, facts and events in a manner likely to mislead the public. The commission says it wrote to Google after receiving complaints from stakeholders including the Internal Affairs minister, who chairs the National Security Council and the Uganda Police Force. Advertisement By DAILY MONITOR More by this Author The Ugandan government, through the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), has written to US-based Google, that owns YouTube, a global video sharing platform, asking it to close at least 14 channels for allegedly mobilising riots. The riots in November resulted in at least 50 deaths and several injuries. The channels include TMO Online, Lumbuye Fred, Trending Channel UG, Uganda Yaffe, Uganda News Updates, Ghetto TV, Busesa Media Updates and Uganda Empya. Others are Map Mediya TV, KK TV, Ekyooto TV, Namungo Media, JB Muwonge 2 and Bobi Wine 2021. According to the UCC, the channels were used to mobilise riots that resulted in the loss of lives and property in Uganda. The riots broke out in Kampala on November 18 and spread to other parts of the country following the arrest of National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine. Related Violence, deaths continue ahead of Uganda elections Electoral agency changes Bobi Wine’s bodyguards Bobi Wine calls off campaigns over police brutality Uganda polls: Generals seeking to unseat Museveni Advertisement UCC's justifications The commission says it wrote to Google after receiving complaints from stakeholders including the Internal Affairs minister, who chairs the National Security Council and the Uganda Police Force. UCC further says it made the decision after observing that communication platforms and networks including YouTube are being used to publish, disseminate, and/or broadcast content that goes against the Uganda Communications Act of 2013 and Regulation 8 (2) of the Uganda Communications (Content) Regulation 2019. According to the government, the channels misrepresent information, views, facts and events in a manner likely to mislead the public. “[They contain] extremist or anarchic messages, including messages likely to incite violence against sections of the public on account of their tribes and political opinions ... [and] may compromise national security and cause economic sabotage,” states UCC’s December 9 letter to Google. The letter adds: “Wherefore as the regulator of the communications sector in Uganda and in accordance with Section 5 (1) (b), (j), (x), 6 and 45 of the Uganda Communications Act 2013, the commission hereby implores Google to block access to the following YouTube accounts." Other actions sought In addition, UCC wants Google to “immediately stop aiding and abetting” any further breach of the regulatory and penal laws of Uganda through its communication platforms. It asked the company "to review and revise YouTube operations to ensure that it is not used to circumvent the legal and regulatory requirements of the Republic of Uganda". UCC also wants Google to ensure all content broadcast to Uganda through YouTube's applications and services strictly complies with Uganda's Minimum Broadcasting Standards as it’s enshrined in the act. The letter comes days after the government directed all journalists to register with the Uganda Media Council, a move that media practitioners in the country have protested. Police said journalists without accreditation from the council will not be allowed to cover political events. “Those with Uganda Media Council accreditation will be treated as well wishers,” police spokesperson Fred Enanga said. Journalists praised The US mission in Uganda lauded journalists saying they safeguard democracy by investigating, observing, and sharing information, while sometimes overcoming great challenges to do so. “The US recognises the work of dedicated journalists in Uganda and elsewhere for their essential role. Knowledge is power,” the mission said via Twitter. However, President Yoweri Museveni’s spokesperson, Mr Don Wanyama, said the State reserves the right to check new media tools being used to “whip up irresponsible” journalism. "Media engaging in responsible journalism has no restrictions. But if you think you'll use new media tools to whip up tribal emotions, advocate for violence etc., then the State reserves all rights to check you. Examples abound of untold loss occasioned by an irresponsible press,” he tweeted on Tuesday.
0.937199	As part of the events surrounding the 75th anniversary of D-Day on 6 June, Gazette reader Janine shared with us the experiences of her father, Arthur Battersby. His first service photograph shows him in 1942, as a youthful and newly enlisted 18 year old, in the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) at Aldershot. RASC was the unit responsible for keeping the British Army supplied with many of the provisions necessary for the force to function, both during operations and also when not in the field. Two years later, as a Lance Corporal in 1944, Arthur Battersby was deployed on D-Day +4. He carried this small note, telling him where to go when he landed, and the code name of his rendezvous point: ‘J/K Keats’. Several days later, using the service-issued postcard (Army Form A 2042), he was permitted to notify his family of his safe arrival, but without giving away any details which might be potentially useful to the enemy. Such mementos are small yet poignant reminders of the numerous individual stories of the men and women who took part in the invasion of Normandy.

0.974667	Flu season is here and it's not too late to get your flu shot. CVS is offering vaccines around the nation. Here's how to get a flu shot at CVS, including how much it costs. ⓘ Getting the flu shot at CVS Flu season is here and, this year, it’s colliding with another potentially life-threatening infection: Covid-19. That makes it more important than ever to protect yourself as much as possible by getting a flu vaccine. “Recovering from the flu and then getting Covid-19 or vice versa could be devastating,” says Alexa Mieses Malchuk, MD, a practicing family physician in Durham, North Carolina. “We cannot protect you from Covid-19 with a vaccine (not yet), but we can protect you from the flu,” says Dr. Mieses Malchuk, who’s also an assistant professor, department of family medicine, UNC School of Family Medicine, Chapel Hill. (Here’s a DIY flu-fighting kit to keep at home.) Not only does the flu vaccine protect you, it also protects others, she adds. (Find out more about differences between flu symptoms and Covid-19 symptoms.) Here’s what you need to know about this year’s vaccine, including its effectiveness, side effects, and how much is the flu shot at CVS. (Live near a Costco? Here’s how you can get the Costco flu shot.) Where can I get a flu shot? You can get the vaccine in medical settings like your doctor’s office, certain workplaces that are still open, and at retailers across the country, including CVS which has nearly 10,000 locations, including 1,100 MinuteClinics. These are walk-in medical clinics located inside certain CVS and Target locations. Given that flu season has already started, the best time to get a shot is right now. It takes two weeks for the vaccine to fully take effect. thehealthy.com, via cvshealth.com, Getty Images Who should get the flu vaccine? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone over the age of 6 months get a flu vaccine every year. People who are at a higher risk of complications from the flu are even more strongly urged to get a vaccine. This includes those 65 and over, pregnant women, children under 5, and people with certain chronic conditions like asthma. If you’re allergic to eggs, have had Guillain-Barré syndrome in the past, or are presently sick, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before getting vaccinated. Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare type of autoimmune-related paralysis that can be triggered by infections. Is the vaccine safe? “The flu vaccine is safe,” says Dr. Mieses Malchuk. “The most common side effect is muscle soreness where the shot was given. If the vaccine is doing its job—which is to stimulate the immune system—you may also feel achy or tired.” This does not mean you’re sick, she stresses. Because the flu shot doesn’t contain any live virus, it can’t give you the actual flu. It also doesn’t cause autism or any other illness, despite continuing rumors to the contrary. (Learn more about flu myths doctors wish you would stop believing.) What types of vaccines are available? There is more than one flu shot, so it can be challenging to decide which one to get. Flu shots are by far the most common flu vaccine available, although there is also a nasal spray. You can get the spray if you’re healthy, between the ages of 2 to 49, and if you aren’t pregnant. Almost all vaccines this year are quadrivalent, which means they protect against four different strains of the flu virus. It’s important that you get a new flu vaccine every year. That’s because the specific virus strains change every year. Last season’s vaccine won’t protect you against this season’s virus. (Learn more about the flu virus.) CVS Pharmacy and MinuteClinics are offering the standard quadrivalent flu vaccine as well as the high-dose flu vaccine, which is for adults 65 and over. Adults 18 and older who are allergic to eggs can also get the Flublok quadrivalent, says Linda Molaka, pharmacy manager at CVS Pharmacy. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about which is best for you. How effective is the vaccine? This varies from season to season because the vaccine itself changes each year. If the vaccine and the virus strains are a good match, the vaccine should be between 40 percent and 60 percent effective, says the CDC. If you do get sick even after a vaccine, chances are your illness will be much milder. The CDC estimates that every year the flu hospitalizes 140,000 to 810,000 people and kills between 12,000 and 61,000. The vaccine may save 6,300 lives annually. How much is a flu shot at CVS? To get a flu shot, visit any CVS Pharmacy or MinuteClinic with or without an appointment. You can make an appointment at the CVS website, using the CVS app, or by texting FLU to 287898. You can answer questions online and you’ll get a confirmation email which has a link you can use to check in once you get to the store. CVS also accepts walk-in patients, but check with individual stores to confirm. The vaccine is available at no cost through most insurance plans, including Medicare B. If you’re uninsured, the seasonal flu shot will cost you $31.99. What Covid-19 precautions is CVS taking? “We have taken steps to ensure that our colleagues and all our customers, including seniors, feel safe during immunizations,” says Molaka. That includes fewer touchpoints when you go in and adherence to CDC guidelines. Before receiving your shot, you’ll need to fill out a Covid-19 screening questionnaire (you can do this via text) and have your temperature taken. You’ll also need to wear a mask (if you don’t have one, CVS will provide one). The person giving the shot will wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including plastic face shields and you’ll also be in a designated area that allows for social distancing. CVS staff sanitize immunization areas between each patient. Next, here are the flu shot mistakes to avoid. thehealthy.com, via costco.com, Getty Images How to Get a Flu Shot at Costco PhotobyTawat/Shutterstock Is It Too Late to Get a Flu Shot?

0.998526	In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court modified its practices in order to minimise in-person attendance on Court premises, with the Court’s priority being the health and safety of the community, including parties, practitioners, judges and staff, and the families of all of these groups. The Court issued four special measures information notes (see Special measures relating to COVID-19 for more information). The Court quickly transitioned to hearings using remote access technology such as Microsoft Teams. The Court upgraded its information technology infrastructure, internet bandwidth and video conference enabled courtrooms in order to hold online hearings with the necessary transcript support. Judges of the Court shared knowledge, identified issues, and developed and documented new practices as they trialled online hearings. Various guides and communications were also developed to provide support to litigants and the profession. From mid-April 2020, the Court was operating at 80 per cent of its courtroom capacity – a remarkable achievement in such a short timeframe. The Court’s practices and procedures in relation to online hearings and related processes, such as the viewing of subpoenaed material without the requirement for in-person attendance, continue to develop in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Embracing a digital future Digital hearings The Court has developed a framework to support digital hearings. In basic terms, the digital hearing framework uses existing courtroom cabling to broadcast from a PC operated by a court-appointed digital hearing operator to monitors set up on the bench, bar tables, witness box and a projector screen for the public gallery. The digital hearing framework is focused on being cost effective and easily accessible to all litigants. It is available to any judges (and/or parties) who wish to use it for hearings, other than for mega trials (which continue to rely on the use of external digital hearing providers). The framework is based on a pilot conducted in June 2019 and addresses: the IT infrastructure, software and hardware required to run a digital hearing the recommended courtroom setup personnel and resourcing needed to operate and support a digital hearing recommended case management practices, including orders to facilitate a digital hearing, and details and format for preparing a digital court book. Certain learnings from the Court’s experience with the digital hearing framework, including the management of digital evidence, document exchange using digital mechanisms and the format and preparation of digital court books have been instrumental in the Court’s development and support of online hearings (see below) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online hearings In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court modified its practices in order to minimise in-person attendance on court premises. This included a complete acceleration of components of the Court’s digital strategy including the introduction of hearings by remote access technology. Microsoft Teams was the remote access technology rolled out in March 2020 to facilitate remote hearings and alternative dispute resolution by digital means. This has allowed the Court to maintain the continuity of its services and adhere to the Australian government restrictions whilst preserving access to justice. In addition to the Special Measures Information Notes, the Court also published a National Practitioners and Litigants Guide to Online Hearings and Microsoft Teams to provide guidance for the legal profession and litigants-in-person appearing in online hearings. Moving forward, the Court will capture key learnings, refocus its priorities to better support litigants and stakeholders and reinvigorate alternatives for the delivery of its services. Digital litigation support With its growing digital practices, the Court recognises the need to provide enhanced support and training for in-court technology, digital hearings and online hearings by way of dedicated digital litigation support staff. The Court has created a digitally savvy workforce through its ongoing digitisation of its services and practices. In order to accommodate the growing demands on its staff and technology, the Court is exploring an approach for the development and implementation of a digital litigation support team. iPad initiative The Court commenced its iPad Initiative in March 2020 in order to promote alternatives for its Working Digitally strategy by maximising flexibility to meet individual judges’ work preferences. The iPad Initiative was an opt-in program for judges who were interested in opportunities to trial other means by which technology could assist them in performing their judicial duties. An iPad Reference Guide and an ongoing training program has been developed to keep judges and chambers staff informed about how to effectively use the iPad and keep up to date with its benefits for digital litigation and judgment writing. Digital Court Program The Digital Court Program continues to be a priority for the Federal Court, the Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court, to streamline core business systems and create flexibility and operational efficiency across the three federal courts and the Tribunal. In 2019–20, there were two key areas of focus. The first was the implementation of a digital court file in family law and the second was a proof of concept for implementation of a commercial off the shelf application to replace the Courts’ aged case management system. The Federal Court and the Federal Circuit Court judges conducting general federal law matters, have enjoyed the benefits of a digital court file for some years. The digital court file for family law was originally scheduled for release at the end of June 2020, however this was brought forward to April 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A digital court file can be accessed remotely by anyone on the Court network and is critical where multiple people require simultaneous access, for example, when working from home. Two applications were developed to support the transition to a digital family law court file. The ‘Judicial Dashboard’ was developed to provide judges with an overview of their docket, including links to those files in their docket that are digital, along with other statistics and data. The ‘List Assist’ tool was designed to help better manage hearings, with a large number of matters listed. A proof of concept for implementation of a commercial off the shelf application to replace the Courts’ aged case management system was the final stage in the evaluation of a tender for this application that was commenced in 2019. The proof of concept focused on establishing one area of general federal law in a test system. Special needs and considerations of family law were also discussed during the design phase. Completion of this proof of concept has been delayed by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, however it will remain a critical project into 2020–21. Extension of the National Court Framework Since inception, the National Court Framework reforms have focused on the Court operating as a truly national Court through the national allocation of the Court’s work, development of a nationally consistent approach to practice and organising the Court’s work along national practice areas. The reforms also focused on reinvigorating the Court’s approach to case management and utilising the specialised knowledge and skills of judges on a national basis. The reforms initially focused on matters relevant to the work undertaken by the judges of the Court, including the allocation of case work to judges on a national basis, the implementation of a national duty system, introduction of nine National Practice Areas and a suite of new practice notes. The national principles are now being applied to the work undertaken by judicial registrars with the majority of that work now being allocated on a national basis, a review of judicial registrar practice and development of practice guides currently in progress, and judicial registrars enhancing the mediation and case management support for judges on a national basis. The Court will continue to progress and embed these national principles and reforms.
0.999821	UPCZilla’s tool for validating UPCs which also gives you a handy explanation of how the validation was performed. Go 885978884773 is a valid UPC-A (though that doesn't mean it's assigned to any products, click here to see if it is: 885978884773 - if you haven't already). How do we check if a UPC is valid? To check if a UPC is valid, we need to perform some calculations on its digits, as follows: We take the six odd numbered digits (counting from the left, not including the final digit - more about that at the end) and we add them together:8 8 5 9 7 8 8 8 4 7 7 (3) - last digit ignored for now 8 (digit 1) + 5 (digit 3) + 7 (digit 5) + 8 (digit 7) + 4 (digit 9) + 7 (digit 11) = 39 Then we multiply that number (39) by 3:39 X 3 = 117 (we'll be using this number in a minute) Then, similar to the first step, we take the FIVE (not six) EVEN numbered digits and we add them together as well:8 8 5 9 7 8 8 8 4 7 7 (3) - last digit still ignored 8 (digit 2) + 9 (digit 4) + 8 (digit 6) + 8 (digit 8) + 7 (digit 10) = 40 We get the number we got in step 3 (40) and we ADD it to the number we got in step 2 (117):40 + 117 = 157 Now we take the number we got in step 4 (157) and work out how much we have to add to round it up to the nearest 10. In order to round 157 up to the nearest 10 (160) we have to add... 3 Is this value of 3 the same as the last (rightmost) digit in our code - the one we ignored in steps 1 and 3 (that's our checksum)? YES, the checksum in our UPC was also 3 so the UPC is valid! The rightmost digit in a UPC is a checksum, because it provides some insurance that all the other numbers are right by performing the above calculation on them. The system is not foolproof, but if any number is wrong then you will typically get a wrong checksum.
0.988284	As I wrote in my "I'm Back" update, I'm going to fill in what happened in the previous year steadily in smaller chunks, rather than all at once. I'll go in approximately reverse chronological order, meaning I'll start with what's happened most recently. Prior to these last two weeks of living intentionally, the previous three weeks of my life were characterized by one thing: Games. I'd like to take a step back and look at this in the context of my life and previous approaches to games before describing what I learned about myself during that three-week stretch. Why I Gave Up Gaming In high school, I was a Civilization addict. I played several iterations of Sid Meier's game, from being introduced to the original at a neighborhood friend's house to a knock-off called Civilization: Call to Power, to Civilization III and its expansions through a couple expansions of Civilization IV. Of course, I also played other computer games, but Civ was the game that I'd say I got most fully addicted to. Upon going to college, however, I decided to give up computer games like Civilization. Why? Because I had noticed that I would sometimes play games (or, in Civ, one game) for a full day, say, on a weekend or even vacation in Cancun. At the end of the day, I started to notice a trend where I'd come away with a sort of empty feeling. Part of it was guilt at having lost the whole day "unproductively" and part of it was the feeling of frustration I'd have when I hadn't actually accomplished much of anything in the game itself. And yet, I couldn't just play a less addicting game, because that would just be worse. The only point of playing a game like that is to have fun, and so I'd play the game that's the most fun, and then waste my day and come away with this empty feeling. So I decided to quit. By the way, I noticed similar effects for eating sugary cereal. I'd eat it and enjoy it at the moment, but over the medium term, I didn't like the way the sugar highs and lows made me feel. So I decided to stop eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch and my other favorite sugary cereals (yes, even Smart Start). In this case, however, I was able to find tasty cereals that aren't as sweet, and today I keep a range of sugar levels from Crispix to Special K Red Berries depending on how I'm feeling in the morning. Of course, these sorts of asocial meals will all be replaced by Soylent when it finally arrives in a month or so, so it's not a big deal. (There's a longer story there if you haven't heard me talk about Soylent, but I'll wait to post until I've tried the real thing.) Neither of these were or are hard and fast rules, although I would occasionally pretend like the gaming one was for the sake of avoiding getting dragged into Team Fortress 2 or another game others were playing around me at Caltech. If they pressed, I'd give this explanation. Wait, what about Dominion? During college, however, I made one major exception to the no-gaming rule: I racked up a lot of time playing over 1000 games of an online implementation of Dominion known as Isotropic. I actually even played and got addicted to an earlier version on BrettSpielWelt that had little more than the base set. If I'm honest with myself, I was just as addicted to online Dominion as I had been to Civilization, if not more. Fortunately, Isotropic shut down and was replaced by the more visually appealing but much less addicting (at least, to me) official online implementation by Goko, which I only occasionally play. The biggest redeemable difference was that many of my friends played on Isotropic as well, so it served as an additional way to bond us closer together. I even organized an online tournament between us that got a few rounds before it was clear that Zach was going to win. But the same social benefits would have applied to TF2, which I refused on the grounds that I didn't want to get addicted, not the better explanation that I don't particularly enjoy first person shooters compared to strategy games. On that note, around this time, my view towards board games began to shift. I mentioned this in a Quora post recently, but essentially, I stopped seeing friends as means to playing games and started seeing games as a means to hanging out with friends. This changed the emphasis I had on playing a game versus just talking, and made me much more open to party games as well as strategy games. Also, unlike computer games, board games often have natural bounds around when you can play them with others, which make them harder to get addicted to in the sense that I had been addicted to Civ. Mobile Gaming? I'm getting closer to the events of the last month now, so keep reading. When I got my iPhone in my junior year at Caltech, I had been warned that games would be distracting, and didn't buy any for myself. My brother got me Angry Birds Seasons for Christmas one year, which I treated as an extreme option if ever I was really bored. It was enjoyable, but certainly not addicting for me. Later, I downloaded a version of perhaps my first game addiction, the Windows 95 game Chip's Challenge, which had been adapted as Chuck's Challenge. I was a little more addicted to this game, but fortunately quickly beat all of the levels that had been created, often playing in bed as a means to (or, more likely, instead of) falling asleep. Getting slightly better times on those levels became my new last resort, where Angry Birds had been. Then, a little over a month ago, Zach introduced me to this game Threes!. A simple yet beautiful iPhone game, Threes! has taken off beyond the wildest dreams of its creators. It's the first iPhone game I've played that's truly addicting. Even more people have heard of, and played, a knockoff of Threes known as 2048. With some slightly different mechanics but more importantly the port to the browser and an open software engine, 2048 spread so far that it eventually was the subject of 1.25 xkcd comics. I eventually (somewhat reluctantly) switched over to playing 2048 for a while, and my Threes! skills quickly transferred. I then became motivated to over-beat the game beyond what any of my Facebook friends had done. I succeeded, making an 8192 a couple times. I think if I tried hard and was super careful, I could make a 16384, but these games literally take hours, where one mistake could undo all of that progress. 2048 was a cheap clone, never designed to be a good game, and I wouldn't say I was addicted to it. No, instead, I was addicted to the feeling of pride I got from showing up all of my friends who had played 2048. I began to realize that this was my real, and at some point, only, motivation to playing. So I quit and went back to Threes!, but not after bragging all over Facebook. I think some people might get some enjoyment out of seeing how far I could go, but in retrospect, my motivations for playing 2048 were prideful through and through. Once I had decided that I'd be living intentionally after Spring Break was over, I went all out. The last Saturday of Spring Break, I literally did nothing but, sleep, play Threes!, and eat two quesadillas from Anna's Tacqueria in the Student Center. I needed a break, and decided to take my first week of living intentionally (last week) completely off from playing Threes!, which I did. Still, I held out some hope that Threes! could occupy a similar space in my life to Angry Birds and Chuck's Challenge, something I could fill time with. I had tried out multitasking with everything, learning that it was possible to walk familiar routes or eat a sandwich while playing, but not to walk along a new path or eat cereal. But when that week ran out and I allowed myself to play Threes! again, I found it all too tempting to fill other time with the game as well. Particularly if I was doing well, it would be very satisfying to play out the game to completion, and either way, all too easy to start a new one. This wasn't working, and after two days of it wreaking havoc on my so-called plans, I decided to give up for a longer period of time. Fortunately, I reached a natural endpoint when I beat my high score (now 241,389, good for 29th worldwide when I got it) late Tuesday night, and this let me put the game down satisfied. The Road Ahead What lessons have I learned from this? I've learned that I do need to set a boundary of not playing any more addictive games while I'm not on some kind of planned break. I've also learned that self-instituted sharp cutoffs do seem to work in my life, which also more broadly applies to my current attempt to live intentionally. But yet, every day is a new opportunity for me to fall back into my previous patterns. Living intentionally is a matter of continuing to fight that back, and try to establish good habits that will make it easier to fight in the future. Many of you reading this are Christians, so I'll try to include a portion of most of these personal posts listing prayer requests for me. Here's what I'm praying related to this topic, phrased as I would pray: Give me the strength to continue living intentionally, to actually live out the plans that I have. Guard me against the twin idolatries of libertinism and legalism. Keep me from feeling either shame or glee when I fail if those feelings are not helpful in righting my trajectory. Here are some possible things I might post next weekend. Let me know if you have a preference! What I was doing that led me to feel like I needed a break (hint: it has to do with my current Facebook profile picture). What I'm intentionally spending my time on (yes, I'm "doing research" now!). The schedule I've been keeping myself to these last couple weeks. How Dominion has taken over another of my friend groups recently, and built additional community there. Haha, this blog is turning into a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure! :) If and when I do post these things, I'll edit to provide appropriate linkage. And in case you're wondering, yes, this post is shorter than my previous updates, but will probably be a bit longer than my future ones. There was a lot of background that I wanted to cover, and this post does summarize and reflect on what I did for most of the month of March. But I don't promise that I'll never write posts this long again.

But when I can make progress—in building or understanding or knowing—then the following comes alive: I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart! (Ps 119:32) P.S. Why isn't <blockquote> allowed? ReplyDelete Replies Sam Elder April 13, 2014 at 11:56 PM Yeah, there's definitely an opportunity cost at play here -- and the bigger I perceive the opportunity cost, the more tempting games are. I guess this suggests I should next allow myself to play Threes when I'm making steady progress in my work.

To voice their protests, they first marched to the White House, then to the Washington Memorial. At the latter event, John Kerry, in protest, threw his medals down, in protest of US war crimes. In Lexington, the vets stage a mock-up of some of their atrocities. We also see former Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara and other men who led the country into and through the casualties of that war.((Backed by classical music from composer Henry Goreki, almost all the footage is from war crimes and protests, giving the viewer the impression that a lot of this is only now being seen, due to the sensitivity of the material, and that President Richard Nixon, notorious for his clamp-downs on controversial media, was then in office. Footage of Vietnamese families being abused by American soldiers is especially hard to stomach, as it brings home the truth of the vets' message. The soldiers' remorse helps redeem those reluctant participants -- and perpetrators.((The anti-government message may turn off some viewers, although this film, obviously made to coincide with the War on Iraq, eerily precedes John Kerry's bid for the Presidency.

0.999966	The Ancient Greeks made the first great advances in astronomy. In their observations of the heavens a The Ancient Greeks made the first great advances in astronomy. In their observations of the heavens a succession of brilliant thinkers used geometrical principals rather than supernatural beliefs to explain what they saw. In doing so they began to break the link between astronomy and astrology. However for many centuries astronomy remained the most abstract of the natural sciences. Fascinated with the regularity of the heavens, early astronomers took to studying the motions of the heavenly bodies and in the course of time built up a fair knowledge of the movements of the stars although they knew nothing of their true nature. The Greek philosopher, Thales of Miletus (624 BC-546 BC in what is today the Aydin Province of Turkey) is credited as having been the first scientist. He proposed that the world was made of water and that the Earth was a flat disc that floated on the water. He seems to have been the original absent minded professor and a tale was told of him falling down a well while wandering along looking up at the stars. Although Thales was thought of as being an impractical dreamer he correctly predicted that weather conditions for the year ahead would bring a good olive harvest, bought up all the olive presses in the district and made a fortune from his monopoly of the market. The influential philosopher Pythagoras of Samos (569 BC- 475 BC) was the first to envisage the Earth as a spherical ball. Around it the Sun, Moon and all the planets revolved in concentric circles, each attached to a sphere which kept it in motion. Heraclides of Pontus (387 BC-312 BC) hypothesized that the Earth rotated on its axis once every 24 hours, an idea that did not become widely accepted for many hundreds of years. With Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) the Earth centered concept of the universe gained new strength, even though there were formidable obstacles to be overcome. The Greeks had already noted that the planets moved eastward in a very peculiar fashion, occasionally reversing direction and heading west. Aristotle believed that the Earth was surrounded by a series of concentric crystal spheres, the outermost carrying the fixed stars while inner spheres carried the planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars followed by the Sun's sphere and by the spheres of Venus, Mercury and closest to the Earth, the Moon. He proved that the Earth was spherical by pointing out that it cast a circular shadow on the Moon and that individual stars appear to move higher or lower above the horizon the further north or south you traveled. Aristarchus of Samos (310 BC-230 BC) followed Heraclides in believing that the apparent daily rotation of the fixed stars was due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. He is mostly remembered as the first to propose a Sun-centered universe which was larger than any of the Earth centered models proposed by his predecessors and anticipated the ideas of Copernicus by 1,900 years. An attempt to measure the distances to the Sun and Moon was made by Aristarchus and he came to the conclusion that the Sun was 19 times more distant than the Moon. Even though this was terribly inaccurate it represents the first step towards an appreciation of the size of the universe. The Greeks however were not simply content to describe celestial phenomena and devise theories. They were also eager to measure the circumference of the Earth and the distances to the planets and stars. Eratosthenes of Cyrene (276 BC-194 BC) using very simple methods came remarkably close to our present day figures. Noticing that the Sun at midday on June 21st cast no shadow at Syene (now Aswan in Egypt) but an obelisk in Alexandria, a distance of 5,000 stadia to the south, cast a measurable shadow he was able to determine just what fraction of the earths circumference was represented by the distance between these two locations. He calculated the Earth's circumference to be 250,000 stadia or 42,160 km, only slightly larger than today's figure of 40,075 km. Hipparchus of Rhodes (190 BC-120 BC) the brilliant Greek astronomer is best remembered for his creation of instruments used in making astronomical measurements. He was able to establish the first realistic distances to the Sun and the Moon. By observing eclipses of the Moon and noting how long it took to pass through the Earth's shadow he determined that the distance to the Moon was equal to 29.5 Earth diameters, very close to today's figure of 30 Earth diameters. He measured the length of the year to an accuracy of 6.5 minutes, discovered the slow change in direction of the axis of rotation of the Earth and produced a star atlas containing 850 stars categorized by their brightness. It is truly fitting that the European Space Agency's satellite launched in 1989 carried his name. It has been used to make precise measurements of the position and motion of over one hundred thousand stars. Astronomers analyzed the data collected by the satellite and the resulting catalogue, available in hard copy or as a 6 disc set, has also been named for him. back to top The Constellations The sky is divided into 88 sections, known as constellations, which simplify the locating and naming celestial objects. The main constellations of the sky were devised at the dawn of history by Middle Eastern people who imagined that they could see a likeness to certain fabled creatures and mythological heroes among the stars. The largest constellation in the sky is Hydra-The Water Snake which winds its way over 100 degrees of the sky. It is by no means easy to identify on account of its faintness and apart from its brightest star Alphard, which marks the heart of the water snake, the only other recognizable feature is its head, made up of an attractive group of six stars lying just south of the constellation Cancer-The Crab. The smallest of the constellations is Crux-The Southern Cross which is one of the most recognizable and celebrated constellations in the heavens. Very few constellations look like the creature or object that they are named for but they are mainly meant to honor, not represent. Our Modern constellations derive from a list of 48, recognized by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in 150 AD. This list was expanded on by navigators and celestial map makers, notably the German Johann Bayer (1572-1625), the Pole Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687) and the Frenchman Nicolas Louis de Lacaille (1713-1762). Lacaille introduced 14 new constellations, named after instruments used by scientists and artists, in parts of the southern sky not visible from Mediterranean regions; other astronomers invented constellations to fill in the gaps between the figures recognized by the Greeks. The whole process sounds rather arbitrary, and indeed it was. A number of the newly devised patterns fell into disuse, leaving a total of 88 constellations that were officially adopted by the International Astronomical Union, astronomy's governing body, in 1930. Some of the brighter stars have proper names and these names are mainly of Arabic origin. The stars in each constellation are also labeled with a letter of the Greek alphabet, the brightest star usually (though not always) being termed (alpha). Notable exceptions include the constellations Gemini and Orion in which the brightest stars are in fact marked (beta) and because of the breaking up of the ancient constellation Argo Navis-The Ship into three smaller constellations, two of the resulting constellations namely Vela-The Sails and Puppis-The Stern have no alpha or beta stars. There is no need to learn all of the constellations visible from your location on the Earth but learning to recognize some of the more familiar ones will be a great help in finding your way around the night sky. The more you look the more you will see and the greater will be your enjoyment of the magnificent starry spectacle. There are books available from the observatory or from good book shops that will help you to navigate and become familiar with the star patterns and will open up a whole new relaxing pastime. back to top Ptolemy Astronomy, by its very nature, touches on the most sacred mysteries of creation and for thousands of years this science has fascinated the minds of men. Astronomy's roots probably lie in the stargazing done by our ice age ancestors some 30,000 years ago who foretold the changes in the seasons by the changes in the sky. In his total ignorance of the stars and the reasons for their revolutions he realized that the hours and the seasons depended upon the course of these distant lights. In the 600 years leading up to the birth of Christ the interest in solving the mysteries of the Universe began to gain momentum and many great scholars and philosophers were working toward finding the answers. One such speculator was the Greek mathematician and astronomer Claudius Ptolemaios, known simply as Ptolemy. Both his exact birth date and the date of his death are not certain but it seems that he was born around AD 85 in Egypt and died around AD 165 in Alexandria where it appears he spent his entire life. Very little information about his early life has survived the years and historians are not even sure whether he was Greek or Egyptian. Strong evidence favours a Greek heritage as he was born Ptolemais Hermii, both names of Greek origin. To also complicate matters he, or one of his ancestors, was granted citizenship of Rome, hence the name Claudius. Although Ptolemy is better remembered for his work in astronomy he also dabbled in astrology. In a four volume book Tetrabiblios, he attempted to show how patterns in the stars could influence human events. Optics and geography were two other sciences in which he was involved, composing tables for the refraction of light as it passed into water at different angles. His maps and tables of latitude and longitude, although based on a much too small estimate of the size of the Earth, appeared in another of his books entitled Geography. In one of his later writings he attempted to calculate the distances to the Sun, Moon and planets but unfortunately very little of this work has survived to the present day. Ptolemy's model of the universe attempted to explain the observed motions of the Sun, Moon and planets and predict their future positions. He was instrumental in collating all the recorded observations of his predecessors, especially those of Hipparchus, and combining them to produce his own Earth centered model of the universe. He developed a detailed mathematical theory to predict the movements of the heavenly bodies. His work was published in a book now known by its Arabic title of Almagest (The Greatest). As Ptolemy and most of antiquity's astronomers saw it, the perfect bodies in the heavens had to follow the only perfect shape, a circle. His system therefore demanded that all celestial objects moved at a constant speed in circular orbits. Even course observations showed this not to be the case so he gave his orbits epicycles, smaller circular orbits on the rim of the main orbit. These epicycles then accounted for the sometimes backward motion of the planets against the background stars. His cosmic model made remarkably accurate predictions and after all that was what the early astronomers were chiefly seeking. Despite the flaws inherent in this system, it was held as truth until Nicholas Copernicus came along with a new theory in 1543, placing the Sun at the centre of the planets. Ptolemy has a crater on the Moon named after him and also an asteroid bears his name. back to top Nicholas Copernicus Often referred to as the father of modern astronomy, Nicholas Copernicus was born on February 19th 1473 in the Polish town of Torun. Following the death of his father when he was only ten years old, the young Copernicus was taken under the protective wing of his highly influential maternal uncle. At the age of 18, he entered the University of Kracow which was then the capitol of the kingdom of Poland where he studied mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, Latin and optics. In 1496 he moved to Italy where he studied arts at Bologna, medicine at Padua and law at the University of Ferrara from which he graduated in 1503 with a doctorate of canon law. He then returned to Poland to the cathedral at Frauenberg which was less than 160 kilometers from his birth place and where he spent a sheltered life for most of the rest of his days. The fundamental question on which Copernicus diverged from Ptolemy, whom he revered as his most exalted predecessor, was the cosmological status of the Earth. For Ptolemy, the Earth was not a heavenly body; the stars and planets all moved around the Earth but the Earth stood still. Copernicus clearly saw and explicitly stated that the Earth was a heavenly body, a planet of the Sun, and in constant motion around the Sun. There was nothing new in Copernicus' announcement of these ideas as they had been speculated in antiquity by Aristarchus in his treatise "On the Size and Distance of the Sun and Moon", of which a copy still survives today. But Aristarchus had merely formulated the bare ideas without offering any proof or elaboration. Copernicus on the other hand had come up with his deductions by meticulous observations which he carried out quietly and alone from a tower on the outer wall of the cathedral. All of his observations were made with the naked eye as the telescope would not be invented until over one hundred years later. What is night, and how is it produced? The explanation, according to the ideas prevailing before Copernicus, was that the Sun circled the Earth and after rising in the east in the morning and passing nearly overhead at noon, dropped down to the west in the evening and then went beneath us to produce night. Copernicus however considered the Sun to be completely at rest. Hence night occurs at those places where, as our planet rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, the light which is perpetually streaming from the Sun is cut off by the opaque bulk of the Earth itself. In 1530 Copernicus completed his work "De Revolutionibus" whose title may be translated as "Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres", in which he asserted that the Earth rotated on its axis once daily and traveled around the Sun once in a year. This was a fantastic concept for the times and completely against the thinking of the church. Because of this and the fact that he was a perfectionist and thought that the work could somehow be improved with more observations, he was reluctant to put it into print. He was finally persuaded to publish it by one of his students and enthusiastic supporter, George Rheticus who took it to the printer Johann Petreius in Nurnberg late in 1541. Copernicus received a copy of the printed book, consisting of 200 pages and written in Latin, for the first time on his death bed. Less than 24 hours after touching the book he was dead. He died of a cerebral haemorrhage on May 24th 1543. back to top Tycho Brahe Born on December 14th 1546 at Knutstorp in Denmark, Tycho Brahe was one of twins but his brother died shortly after birth. His father Otte was a nobleman and an important figure at the court of the Danish king and his mother also came from an important family. When he was only two he was abducted by his uncle Jorgen Brahe and his wife Inger who were childless. This strange event appears to have caused no family upheaval and his real parents seem to have made no attempt to get him back. Jorgen and his wife acted as foster parents until Jorgen's death in 1563. He began his studies at the University of Copenhagen on April 19th 1559 where he studied law and philosophy and took only a slight interest in astronomy. It seems that a predicted partial solar eclipse of the sun on August 21st 1560 sparked in him a real astronomical interest. In February 1562 Tycho set off for the University of Leipzig taking with him his newly acquired astronomy books and constellation charts. By August 1563 he was making serious observations of his own of the sky and keeping accurate records of these observations. Previously constructed tables of a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter failed to predict the correct date of the event and though still only 16 years of age he thought that he could do better. He came up with a model of the solar system which was different to both the systems of Ptolemy and Copernicus. In Tycho's solar system the Sun orbited the Earth while all the other planets orbited the Sun. When he was 20 at the University of Rostock at which he enrolled in 1566 he got into an argument with another student about who was the best mathematician and in the ensuing duel he had the bridge of his severed. For the rest of his life he wore a prosthesis made of silver and gold held in place with paste. He appears to have been quite eccentric and later in his life kept a dwarf named Jepp as a court jester who he thought was clairvoyant and who would sit under the table during dinner. Returning home in 1570 he met Kirsten Jorgensdatter who became his common law wife and with whom he had eight children. She stayed with him until his death thirty years later. Early in the evening of November 11th 1572 an event occurred that was to change his whole life. Glancing overhead into the early evening sky he noticed a new bright star had appeared in the constellation Cassiopeia. He was not the first to see this new star, (which we know today to have been an existing star that exploded and referred to as a supernova), but his observations of it over several months proved that it did not move in relation to the other stars and so was indeed no closer to the earth than the other stars. According to the prevailing world view and sanctified by the church the heavens were eternal and unchanging. With the appearance of this new star the concept of an unchanging universe was destroyed forever and the use of observation to settle arguments was the birth of modern astronomy. Tycho published an account of the new star in "De Stella Nova" in 1573 and it brought him great fame and favour with the king of Denmark, Frederic II. In February 1576 the king granted him the small 2,000 acre island of Hven on which to build an astronomical observatory. The funds were forthcoming to build the observatory and all the instruments he would need for his observations. He called the observatory Uraniborg, Castle of the Heavens, and from here most of his observations of the heavens were conducted. Over one hundred students found their way to his doors from 1576 to 1597 and with a total of 28 instruments his measurements of star and planetary positions were unparalleled in accuracy for their time. During this time he published a star catalogue containing the position of 1,004 stars. After the death of King Frederic II Tycho had a falling out with the new king, Christian IV and he moved to a new observatory in Benatky, fifty kilometers from Prague where he continued his observations for another year before moving to Prague. He was appointed Imperial Mathematician to the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph II in 1599 and it was then, on the first day of the year 1600 that Johannes Kepler joined him as an assistant. With Kepler's help he compiled a new set of astronomical tables based on his observations over the past thirty eight years and after Tycho's death Kepler was able to use the tables to deduce his own laws of planetary motion. Tycho Brahe died on October 24th 1601 of ureamia, urine in the blood, the consequence of too much drinking at a banquet. Etiquette forbade him to leave the dinner table to relieve himself before his host had finished eating. In a state of delirium on the night before he died he muttered over and over again "Let me not seem to have lived in vain". back to top Johannes Kepler Kepler, according to his own horoscope, was conceived on May 16th 1571 at 4:37am and born prematurely December 27th at 2:30pm. He was born in the town of Weil in Swabia a south western corner of Germany between the Black Forest, the Neckar and the Rhine. His father, Heinrich was a mercenary adventurer who narrowly escaped the gallows and his mother Katherine was brought up by an aunt who was burned alive as a witch. Johannes was a sickly child and suffered from boils, rashes and piles and his gall bladder gave him constant trouble. He was also born with defective eyesight, myopia and double vision. Kepler attended the theological seminary from the ages of thirteen to seventeen where he studied Greek, Latin, mathematics, music and philosophy. His fellow students regarded him as an intolerable egghead and beat him up at every opportunity. He was quite superstitious and delved into astrology, very often doing his own horoscope. After graduating from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Tuebingen at the age of twenty he went on to study for another four years at the Theological Faculty in pursuit of his chosen profession as a clergyman. However before he was to pass his final exams he was offered the post of a teacher of mathematics and astronomy in Gratz, the capitol of the Austrian province of Styria. He had never thought of becoming an astronomer but had been interested in the mystical Copernican implications of a Sun centered universe. After some hesitation he accepted the position and arrived in Gratz in April 1594 at the age of twenty three. He was not a good lecturer as his lectures were rambling and disjointed and during his first year had only a handful of students and in his second year had none at all. However the directors of the school did not blame him for the lack of students, as they believed "the study of mathematics was not every man's affair". Kepler's first book, "The Mysterium Cosmographicum", contains the seeds of his principal future discoveries. In it appeared the first public commitment, by a professional astronomer, to the Copernican Sun centered universe and appeared fifty years after the death of Copernicus. Galileo, Kepler's senior by six years, was still silent on Copernicus and agreed with him only in cautious privacy. Kepler had many strange theories on the workings of things from the idea that the universe was built around five perfect solids, the tetrahedron (bound by four equilateral triangles), the cube, the octahedron (eight equilateral triangles), the dodecahedron (twelve pentagons) and the icosahedron (twenty equilateral triangles) to the idea that the universe was governed by musical harmonies. It seems he was never afraid to ask questions no matter how foolish they seemed and he is quoted as remarking "If my false figures come close to the facts this happened merely by chance yet it gives me pleasure to remember how many detours I had to make, along how many walls I had to grope in the darkness of my ignorance until I found the door which lets in the light of truth". As he got older he slowly changed from the restless student who had never been able to finish what he started into a scholar with a great capacity for work, for physical and mental endurance and fanatical patience unequaled in the annuls of science. Johannes Kepler's first marriage took place when he was twenty five years old on April 27th 1597 to Barbara Muehleck, described by Kepler himself as "simple of mind and fat of body who was stupid, sulking, lonely and often taken to fits of melancholy. She was of an angry nature, constantly ill and deprived of her memory". She was the daughter of a rich mill owner who was reluctant to give his daughter up to the likes of Kepler, a man of such lowly standing and miserable pay, and it took long and persistent negations by Kepler's friends before he relented and agreed to the marriage. She bore him five children but only two survived, the other three dying after only a few months of cerebral meningitis. After fourteen years of marriage Barbara also died at the age of thirty seven. It was around the time of the death of his wife that his book, Mysterium Cosmographicum came out and he was obliged to buy the first two hundred copies to compensate the printer for his work. He sent copies to many scholars of the day including Galileo and Tycho Brahe. He began to take on many projects among them the existence of stellar parallax, investigations into the Moon's orbit, Magnetism, research into optics and he started a weather diary which he kept for thirty years. His main focus however was on his search for a mathematical law to explain the harmony of the spheres and the movement of the planets. His theories on the harmonies of the spheres of the Pythagorean musical scale and a combination of both did not quite fit the facts and Kepler knew that there was only one man in the world who had the figures that he needed: Tycho Brahe. But Tycho refused to publish his observations until he had completed his own theory and he carefully guarded his volumes of figures, the result of a lifetime of work. Kepler was extremely jealous of Tycho's observatory in Uraniborg and he wrote "Any single instrument of his cost more than my whole family's fortune put together". In his opinion Tycho was superlatively rich but did not know how to put his riches to proper use and so it was fair that he should try to wrest those riches from him. These opinions were stated twelve months before he had actually met Tycho and before Tycho, in a letter to Kepler, had expressed the desire to someday meet him. Kepler however could not afford the trip and it was only by good fortune that a year later he was offered passage from Gratz to Prague with Baron Hoffman. The date that he left Gratz for his meeting with Tycho was January 1st 1600. His first meeting with Tycho occurred on February the 4th 1600 and over the next two months he stayed as a guest, analyzing some of Tycho's observations of Mars. Although Tycho was impressed by Kepler's theoretical ideas he still would not allow him full access to his observations and Kepler became disillusioned and the two had an argument during which Kepler threatened to return home. They soon settled their differences however and Kepler was offered a salary and living conditions to his satisfaction. In June he left for Gratz to collect the rest of his family. Because of political unrest he was not able to return to Tycho until the last months of 1600 and was immediately put to work analyzing Tycho's planetary observations. Tycho Brahe died unexpectedly on October 24th 1601 and two days later Kepler was appointed as his successor as Imperial Mathematician and with Tycho's death he now had access to all of Tycho's Mars observations. Using these observations he was able to come up with his three laws pertaining to the motion of the planets. The first law states that "All the planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus, the other being vacant". The second law states, "The planets sweep out equal areas at equal times" and the third law states "The square of the periodic times are to each other as the cubes of their average distances". In October 1610 a bright new star appeared in the Milky Way in the constellation of Ophiuchus and Kepler began systematic observations of it and noting its fading brightness over the following months. This star had used up most of its hydrogen and exploded as a supernova but to the astronomers of Kepler's time they were a complete mystery. In his book "De Stella Nova" he argues that because of the lack of parallax the object must indeed be in the realm of the fixed stars and that the heavens were not unchanging, further undermining the doctrine of the church. In the first months of 1610 the Italian astronomer Galileo used his telescope to observe the moons of Jupiter and sought the opinion of Kepler to enhance the credibility of his observations. Using a telescope he borrowed from the Duke of Cologne Kepler made his own observations of Jupiter and published his own findings which backed up the observations of Galileo. He was however disappointed when Galileo failed even to acknowledge his efforts. Kepler married twenty four year old Susanna Reuttinger on October 30th 1613 and this appears to have been a happier marriage than his first. They had six children, the first three dying in childbirth and the last three surviving into adulthood. He spent the rest of his life studying the motion of the planets and indeed modern astronomy owes him a great deal. Kepler wrote towards the end of his life "The roads by which men arrive at their insights into celestial matters seem to me to be almost as worthy of wonder as those matters themselves". He died at Regensburg on November the 15th 1630 and was buried there. His burial sight was lost however after the armies of Gustavus Adolphus destroyed the churchyard in which he was interred. There has been a crater on the Moon, a crater on Mars and an asteroid named in his honour and on March the 6th 2009 NASA launched the Kepler Mission, a space telescope designed to search for Earth like planets around other stars. back to top Galileo Galilei Probably the best known of the ancient astronomers, Galileo Galilei was born in the town of Pisa in Italy on the 15th of February 1564, the first of six children. His family moved to Florence in 1572 but Galileo remained in Pisa and from the ages of eight to ten went to live with Muzio Tedaldi who was related to his mother by marriage. He was reunited with his family in Florence in 1574 where he was privately tutored by Jacopo Borghini. When he was old enough he was sent to the monastery at Vallambrosa and was educated by the monks until 1581 when he enrolled in the University of Pisa to study Medicine. It seems that he was not too serious about his medical studies and persuaded his father to let him study Philosophy and Mathematics. However in 1585 he left the University without attaining a degree. Then followed four years of private tutoring after which he returned to the University of Pisa as a Professor of Mathematics in 1589. With the death of his father in 1591 Galileo became the financial provider in the family but his salary at Pisa was not enough to support them all. He applied for and was appointed Professor of Mathematic at the University of Padua, where he remained until 1610, on a salary that was three times that of his previous income. It was during these years at Pisa and Padua that Galileo began his experiments on the properties of falling bodies. He was able to prove that objects dropped from a tower fell at the same rate regardless of their weight. His inventions included the microscope and an early version of the thermometer and the calculation of the parabolic path of projectiles and the study of the motion of pendulums were also problems he put his mind to solving. Galileo was only mildly interested in astronomy up to this point in his life but it is known from letters written to Johannes Kepler in 1598 that he subscribed to the Copernican system of the Sun centered model of the universe. Between the years 1600 and 1606 he fathered three children, two daughters and a son, to his life partner, Maria Gamba, whom he never married. In May of 1609 Galileo heard of a spyglass that had been invented by a Dutchman, Hans Lippershey, which showed distant objects to appear much closer than they actually were when viewed through this instrument. From descriptions he received of the device he was able to use lenses that were available to him at the time to make his own version of it, the first one giving him a magnification of three to four times. Over the next few months he constructed several telescopes with lenses that he ground himself and by August of the same year had made an instrument that gave a magnification of nine times. His instrument was much improved on the Dutch version and he was soon requested to give a demonstration of it to the Venetian Senate. They were most impressed with his efforts and he was granted a substantial increase in his salary, after giving the senate sole rights to manufacture more of the instruments. The senate soon realized that the rights to manufacture the telescopes that Galileo had given them were worthless, as he was not the inventor, and froze his salary altogether. Luckily for Galileo he had also sent one of his instruments to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo de Medici, who granted him the position of "Mathematician and Philosopher" to the Grand Duke and Chief Mathematician at the University of Pisa. Before the year 1609 was out, Galileo had turned his telescope to the night sky. In the months of December 1609 and January 1610 he was to make more discoveries that changed the thinking of the world than anyone had made before or has been made since. Aristotle had said that everything in the universe was perfect and spherical but when Galileo looked at the Moon through his telescope he could see that it was rough and uneven. On January 7th 1610 he looked at the giant planet Jupiter and was amazed to see three star-like objects close to the planet and a few nights later there were four. Night by night he observed these bodies and came to the startling conclusion that they were actually moons, orbiting the planet just as our moon orbited the Earth. Many critics of the Copernican Theory said that the Earth could not be moving through space or it would leave the Moon behind. Very clearly, Jupiter had some power that made its moons move with it so maybe the Earth had the same power over its own Moon. When Galileo tried to show the clerics these moons of Jupiter in his telescope some refused to look of the ones that tried some said that they could see nothing. He went on to discover the phases of Venus, sunspots and was the first to see the rings of Saturn although he had no idea just what they were. His astronomical discoveries were published in a short book, "The Starry Messenger" in 1610 and his observations of sunspots were published in 1612 in "Discourse on Floating Bodies". In December 1612 and January 1613 his sketches show another object close to Jupiter that moved against the background stars. This object was the planet Neptune but Galileo did not realize it and so it went undiscovered for the next 223 years. The Cardinals of the Inquisition met on February 24th 1616 and condemned the teachings of Copernicus which had the Sun at the centre of the universe. These teachings were in direct conflict with the Catholic Church's philosophy of an Earth centered universe and Galileo was ordered to abandon the opinion that the Sun was the centre of the universe and he was not to hold, teach or defend it. He was made to kneel and promise to abandon the false opinion that the Sun was the centre of the universe and immovable, and to agree that it was indeed the Earth that was at the centre of universe and did not move. It is believed that as he rose to his feet he muttered the words "but still it moves". Galileo decided to air his views in a publication which takes the form of a dialogue between two fictitious characters, Salviati and Simplico, in which one argued for the Ptolemaic system and the other argued for the Copernican system. Unfortunately Galileo made Simplico, who argued for the Earth centered universe, seem like a buffoon while Salviati appeared as an intellectual and presented the strongest arguments for the Sun centered universe. The publication, titled "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief Systems of the World - Ptolemaic and Copernican", enraged the church and its sale was banned and Galileo was summoned to again appear before the Inquisition. Found guilty of heresy, he was condemned to life imprisonment which was lightened to house arrest rather than an actual prison sentence. While under house arrest Galileo devoted himself to physics and his final book, "Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Relating to Two New Sciences", dealt with the strength of materials and the way objects move. Albert Einstein regarded this book as one of the most important in the history of science. Galileo went completely blind in 1638 and died on January 8th 1642 Pope John Paul II gave an address on October 31st 1995 on behalf of the Catholic Church in which he admitted that errors had been made by theological advisors in the case of Galileo and in March 2008 the Vatican proposed to erect a statue of him inside the Vatican walls.
0.999961	In United States constitutional law, substantive due process is a principle allowing courts to protect certain fundamental rights from government interference, even if procedural protections are present or the rights are unenumerated (i.e not specifically mentioned) elsewhere in the US Constitution. Courts have identified the basis for such protection from the due process clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, which prohibit the federal and state governments, respectively, from depriving any person of "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". Substantive due process demarcates the line between the acts that courts hold to be subject to government regulation or legislation and the acts that courts place beyond the reach of governmental interference. Whether the Fifth or Fourteenth Amendments were intended to serve that function continues to be a matter of scholarly as well as judicial discussion and dissent.[1] Substantive due process is to be distinguished from procedural due process. The distinction arises from the words "of law" in the phrase "due process of law".[2] Procedural due process protects individuals from the coercive power of government by ensuring that adjudication processes, under valid laws, are fair and impartial. Such protections, for example, include sufficient and timely notice on why a party is required to appear before a court or other administrative body, the right to an impartial trier of fact and trier of law, and the right to give testimony and present relevant evidence at hearings.[2] In contrast, substantive due process protects individuals against majoritarian policy enactments that exceed the limits of governmental authority: courts may find that a majority's enactment is not law and cannot be enforced as such, regardless of whether the processes of enactment and enforcement were actually fair WHEN YOU INTRUDE ON OTHERS WILL-YOUR WILL SHALL BE BROKEN#LAW OF KARMA#UNIVERSAL LAW* CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS Life, liberty and security of person 7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. Section 7 guarantees the life, liberty and personal security of all Canadians. It also requires that governments respect the basic principles of justice whenever they intrude on those rights. Section 7 often comes into play in criminal matters because an accused person clearly faces the risk that, if convicted, his or her liberty will be lost. My Words-FORCING UNTESTED AND PROVEN DANGEROUS VACCINATION IS A CRIME There is much more and a reason for untesting The 5th Amendment states: “No Person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”. The 14th Amendment states: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”. The Declaration of Independence states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. We affirm the God-given legal personhood of all human beings from fertilization to natural death, without exception. The first duty of the law is to protect innocent life, created in the image of God. No government may legalize the taking of life without justification. Legalizing the termination of innocent life of the born or unborn, whether by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia or suicide, is a direct violation of their unalienable right to life. As to matters of rape and incest, we find it unconscionable to take the life of an innocent child for the crimes of his father. Under no circumstances may the federal government fund or otherwise support any state or local government or any organization or entity, foreign or domestic, which advocates, encourages or participates in the practice of abortion. In office, we shall only appoint to the federal judiciary, and to other positions of federal authority, qualified individuals who publicly acknowledge and commit themselves to the legal personhood of the pre-born child.

How Far Will The Gov't take their Wars to profit from? A horrible image taken after the Saudi-led bombing of a wedding party in Yemen last Sunday featured a young boy clinging to a dead man’s body, refusing to leave.

0.999961	In United States constitutional law, substantive due process is a principle allowing courts to protect certain fundamental rights from government interference, even if procedural protections are present or the rights are unenumerated (i.e not specifically mentioned) elsewhere in the US Constitution. Courts have identified the basis for such protection from the due process clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, which prohibit the federal and state governments, respectively, from depriving any person of "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". Substantive due process demarcates the line between the acts that courts hold to be subject to government regulation or legislation and the acts that courts place beyond the reach of governmental interference. Whether the Fifth or Fourteenth Amendments were intended to serve that function continues to be a matter of scholarly as well as judicial discussion and dissent.[1] Substantive due process is to be distinguished from procedural due process. The distinction arises from the words "of law" in the phrase "due process of law".[2] Procedural due process protects individuals from the coercive power of government by ensuring that adjudication processes, under valid laws, are fair and impartial. Such protections, for example, include sufficient and timely notice on why a party is required to appear before a court or other administrative body, the right to an impartial trier of fact and trier of law, and the right to give testimony and present relevant evidence at hearings.[2] In contrast, substantive due process protects individuals against majoritarian policy enactments that exceed the limits of governmental authority: courts may find that a majority's enactment is not law and cannot be enforced as such, regardless of whether the processes of enactment and enforcement were actually fair WHEN YOU INTRUDE ON OTHERS WILL-YOUR WILL SHALL BE BROKEN#LAW OF KARMA#UNIVERSAL LAW* CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS Life, liberty and security of person 7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. Section 7 guarantees the life, liberty and personal security of all Canadians. It also requires that governments respect the basic principles of justice whenever they intrude on those rights. Section 7 often comes into play in criminal matters because an accused person clearly faces the risk that, if convicted, his or her liberty will be lost. My Words-FORCING UNTESTED AND PROVEN DANGEROUS VACCINATION IS A CRIME There is much more and a reason for untesting The 5th Amendment states: “No Person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”. The 14th Amendment states: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”. The Declaration of Independence states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. We affirm the God-given legal personhood of all human beings from fertilization to natural death, without exception. The first duty of the law is to protect innocent life, created in the image of God. No government may legalize the taking of life without justification. Legalizing the termination of innocent life of the born or unborn, whether by abortion, infanticide, euthanasia or suicide, is a direct violation of their unalienable right to life. As to matters of rape and incest, we find it unconscionable to take the life of an innocent child for the crimes of his father. Under no circumstances may the federal government fund or otherwise support any state or local government or any organization or entity, foreign or domestic, which advocates, encourages or participates in the practice of abortion. In office, we shall only appoint to the federal judiciary, and to other positions of federal authority, qualified individuals who publicly acknowledge and commit themselves to the legal personhood of the pre-born child. In addition, we will do all that is within our power to encourage federal, state, and local government officials to protect the sanctity of the life of the pre-born through legislation, executive action, and judicial enforcement of the law of the land. Article IV of the Constitution guarantees to each state a republican form of government. Therefore, although a Supreme Court opinion is binding on the parties to the controversy as to the particulars of the case, it is not a political rule for the nation. Roe v. Wade is an illegitimate usurpation of authority, contrary to the law of the nation’s Charter and Constitution. It must be resisted by all civil government officials, federal, state, and local, and by all branches of the government – legislative, executive, and judicial. We affirm both the authority and duty of Congress to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in all cases of abortion in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2.

Members of the controversial religion were seen offering massages and handing out promotional leaflets from the bright yellow structure just days after the horror blaze. They were first outside the sports centre on Friday but came back on Sunday with their huge tents and flags which read 'communication' and 'conflicts'. The tent was pitched just metres away from the street where hundreds of locals are handing out donations to those who have been left homeless by the inferno which has so far claimed 78 lives. The church told MailOnline: 'From 99% of the responses we had, we know it was worthwhile.' The enormous bright yellow tent, pictured, was set up near the Grenfell Tower site Members of the controversial religion were seen offering massages and handing out promotional leaflets from the structure The death toll from the Grenfell Tower fire rose to 79 today as police confirmed five of those who died in the blaze have been formally identified Residents are alleged to have told the Scientologists to 'take their tent and leave' after being offered massages to help them 'heal'. A journalist at the scene said: 'Everyone who's approached them has told them to f*** off.' The Church of Scientology was founded in the 1950s by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard and counts Tom Cruise as well as John Travelota among its celebrity followers. It believes the spirit can alleviate 'injury, trauma or discomfort' by 'putting the spirit in communication with the body'. Former Scientologists such as actress Leah Remini and writer Paul Haggis have claimed church leaders encourage members to shun apostates and allegedly label those who leave as 'suppressive persons'. Twitter users have also reacted with fury after an image of the tents was posted online. Twitter users reacted with fury after hearing about the tent, with one saying: 'I hope they were run out of the borough' Another user added: 'The sheer size would give me pause. Almost frightening' Carolyn Malsher questioned why the space where the Scientologists set up their tent was not 'better utilised' Germaine Arnold wrote: 'Can't believe these Scientology goons are recruiting next to Grenfell Tower. Vultures.' Another commenter added: 'Lots of vulnerable shell shocked people there, I'm not surprised they've turned up.' Tony Sloane said: 'Cynicism of the highest level. Know where I would like to stick their banners.' The Church of Scientology said in a statement to MailOnline: 'We have had a team of our Volunteer Ministers on the ground near the Grenfell Tower site since Wednesday morning. 'We have worked with hundreds of other people in many ways, doing whatever was needed to somehow lend a hand to help the survivors and those who lost loved ones. 'We have sorted mounds of donated clothes, toys and boxed them up, and then transported several tons of such boxes to storage facilities for distribution later, when the survivors and displaced have homes to live in. These are the people who lived in the tower and are still missing following the blaze on Wednesday A minute's silence was held around the country today to remember those killed in last week's Grenfell Tower blaze Firefighters at the scene, who have had to pick through the tower block during the investigation, shed tears as silence fell Firemen support each other as they gathered together in the shadow of the building where 79 people are now confirmed to have died

0.981455	Messianic Judaism is any of a group of loosely related religious movements, all claiming a connection with Judaism. Beliefs and practice range from evangelical Christianity to close to Orthodox Judaism, while accepting Jesus to be the Messiah (and God) and using the New Testament as scripture. The groups range from those comprised mostly of Jews to those which are mostly gentile in membership; the majority are mixed. Perhaps the best known of the Messianic groups, although certainly not the largest, is the controversial Jews for Jesus. Its stated aims are to educate Evangelical Christians concerning the Jewish origins of their Christian faith, and to convert Jews to Christianity. Most Jewish converts to Christianity do not consider themselves "Messianic Jews". Many Protestant and Catholic churches have Jewish converts among their members, but these members self-identify as Christians. They also sometimes are referred to as Jewish Christians, Hebrew Christians, or Christian Jews. The term "Messianic Jew" is used only to refer to those affiliated with organizations and/or congregations that claim to be specifically part of the self-described Messianic Jews movement. Messianic Jews commonly use the name Yeshua, which may have been Jesus' Hebrew or Aramaic name. Some Messianic Jews do not consider themselves "Christians", preferring to call themselves Messianic or "Torah-Observant" Jews. While many Messianic Jews are ethnically Jewish (and as such would be considered Jews even by Orthodox Jewish standards), Messianic Judaism is not seen as a legitimate form of Judaism by any recognized Jewish organization or leaders, apart from a handful of dissenting voices among the Reform and Reconstructionist Jewish movements. Contents 1 Messianic religions in general 2 Organization and beliefs 2.1 The "Torah"-pole 2.2 The Evangelical pole 2.3 The mainstream Messianic movement 3 Religious practices 4 Messianic Judaism or Hebrew Christianity? 5 Critics of the Messianic movement 6 Parallels to Baal Teshuva 7 See also 8 External links 8.1 Articles 8.2 Messianic websites 8.3 Anti-Messianic websites 8.4 Some Essays About Messianics by Non-Messianics Messianic religions in general The use of the term "Messianic" is not new. Diverse religious groups have messianic beliefs which are not compatible with what has come to be commonly referred to as Messianic Judaism. Most notably, Rabbinic Judaism, including all the modern Jewish denominations, have a variety of beliefs about a future messianic era. Some Jewish groups whose beliefs stress the messianic aspects are known in the literature as "messianic Jews", but that is not the topic of this article. For messianic beliefs within traditional Judaism, see the entries on Jewish eschatology and Jewish Messiah. Organization and beliefs The organized Messianic Movement consists of approximately 200 congregations in the United States, with approximately one hundred thousand members. Global membership is more difficult to quantify; Messianic groups claim considerable growth in the past five to ten years in Russia, Ukraine, and even in Mexico, but accurate statistics are difficult to come by. Estimates of the number of ethnic Jews who worship Jesus as the Messiah generally put the global figure at around a million, but only a minority of these are affiliated to any organized Messianic organization. The Messianic Movement comprises many streams, each with its own views and emphases, but in general all consider it important to express their belief in Yeshua in a way consistent with their Jewish culture. The Messianic Movement as a whole can be seen as a mixed-continuum, with some Messianic organizations drawing more heavily from Jewish tradition, and others from Christian sources, in varying degrees. The "Torah"-pole Some within the Messianic movement make a determined effort to cling not only to Jewishness but also to Judaism, with the addition of Jesus. Adherents of this religion often consider Gentile Christianity to be an irrelevance; except on the question of who Jesus is, they regard themselves as having more in common with Judaism than with Christianity. They strictly observe the Sabbath and the dietary laws of the Tanakh (Kashrut). Many of them ignore, and even oppose, celebration of such Christian festivals, having been originated in Gnosticism and Paganism as Christmas and Easter. Most Christians justify their nonobservance of such biblical feasts as Pesach (Passover) based on their belief that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Jewish festivals. "Torah" pole Messianic Jews hold otherwise, noting Jesus' word in Matthew 5:17: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish, but to complete, because I am telling you that neither Heavens nor earth will pass, until a yud (a Hebrew letter) nor the crown (the upper part of that letter) of a yud will pass away from the Torah until all of this will be accomplished." In the next verses Jesus calls "very small ones indeed" those who think that the Torah will be abolished "or whoever teaches that". Aside from differences over the necessity of Torah observance, some of these groups have also adopted views of Jesus and the Trinity that would not be acceptable to most Christian/Messianic groups. For example, movements like the Netzarim movement and Messianic Renewed Judaism believe that Jesus was the Messiah, but do not accept that he was God, or part of a Trinity, nor that he ever intended to found another faith (Christianity). Other movements, such as Talmidaism, go further, accepting Jesus only as a human prophet, not as Messiah or God. The major Messianic organizations reject those holding these positions, but are in turn criticised by these movements for pulling Jews away from Torah. The Evangelical pole Other Messianic believers are much more comfortable with the Evangelical Christian tradition, although they express it with a Jewish flavor. Jews for Jesus is one such group. Perhaps the best known of the Messianic groups, although certainly not the largest, is the controversial Jews for Jesus organization, officially founded by the Baptist minister Martin Rosen, who prefers to be called "Moishe" Rosen, in 1973. Its stated aims are to educate Evangelicals concerning the Jewish origins of their Christian faith, and to convert Jews to a belief in Yeshua (Jesus), as the Messiah promised in the Jewish scriptures. Their theology, as reflected in their statements of faith, is solidly within the ambit of Evangelical Christianity. They believe in the inerrancy of the New Testament, salvation by grace through faith in Jesus alone, the divinity of Jesus whom they believe is Christ, and the Trinity. Apart from Jewish terminology and cultural practices, believers of this school have a much closer affinity to Evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity than to any recognized branch of Judaism. They regard observance of the Sabbath and the Jewish dietary laws as entirely optional, although many of them do in fact try to observe them as an expression of their Jewish identity. This stream of Messianic Judaism has much in common with the beliefs of Hebrew Christians, although they regard themselves part of the organized Messianic Movement, whereas Hebrew Christians, for the most part, do not. The mainstream Messianic movement Within the Messianic movement, both of the positions described above are widely regarded as extremes, but they demarcate the two poles of a continuum. Most Messianic believers see themselves as lying somewhere between the two extremes. The two largest Messianic organizations, the Messianic Jewish Alliance of North America (MJAA) and the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations (UMJC), accept from both Jewish and Christian sources anything they see as scritpurally verifiable. The writings of theologian Dan Juster, one of the founders of the UMJC, have helped shape the direction of the mainstream Messianic Movement: solidly Evangelical/Pentecostal in doctrine, with an uncompromising belief in the Trinity, but drawing heavily on Jewish sources to interpret the New Testament as well as the Tanakh (Old Testament). Messianic Jews share with most Evangelical and Pentecostal Christians a belief that Yeshua will someday return to the earth and establish his kingdom here. Much more widespread among Messianics than other Evangelicals, however, is the belief that the return of Yeshua is dependent on his acceptance by the Jewish people. Many Messianics (though not all) interpret Matthew 23:39 ("I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'") to mean that the Jewish people, or at least a very significant number of them, must believe in Yeshua as the Messiah before he can come back. A growing interest among some streams of Messianic Judaism is evangelism among Gentiles, as well as Jews, in order to fulfill what they believe was God's original purpose for the Jewish people, to be God's model people and reveal the knowledge of the true God to the whole world. This also reflects an increasing attraction on the part of Gentiles to the Messianic movement. Some are attracted because they are in a relationship with a Jew and feel the movement is a "compromise" between Judaism and Christianity, but many are devout Christians who feel that the movement is a way to better appreciate the Hebrew roots of Christianity while still maintaining their faith. Religious practices The following practices are common among Messianic Jews. They reflect an effort to express their faith in Jesus in a way that reflects their Jewish identity, and to feel at home in worshiping Jesus. Many Messianics do not use the "Christian" label. Some make this choice because of its negative connotations to the Jewish community and some because they prefer to label themselves in a manner that reflects their Jewish identity. Still others reject this label because their worship, practices, and observances bear little resemblance to those of Christianity. Worship services are generally held on Friday evenings and Saturday, rather than Sunday, as they recognize that "HaShem" blessed only the seventh day as a day to be set apart for Him by both Jewish and Gentile. They celebrate Jewish festivals, including Pesach (Passover), Hanukkah, and the Feast of Tabernacles, among others. They call their places of worship congregations, synagogues, shuls, or Beit Knesset rather than churches. Many recognize that the Bible is a book in continuum, not a book divided into two sections, one of which called "old", while the other is called "new". They see the whole book as vibrant and relevant to modern life. Instead of using the name "New Testament", many use the term "Apostolic Writings" or the Hebrew term Brit Hadasha (meaning "New Covenant"). They display Menorahs and Stars of David rather than crosses. They use Torah scrolls in their services. Many wear kippot (Jewish head coverings), prayer shawls and tzitzit. They call their clergy rabbis or teachers rather than priests or ministers. They refer to Jesus and to apostles by what they believe to be their Hebrew names. Thus, Jesus is called Yeshua (Y'shua), John is called Yochanan, and Paul is called Sha'ul. Many observe the Jewish dietary laws (kashrut). Among some Messianic groups (but not all), this is compulsory; it is held that the laws of kashrut are still God's will for Jews today. It is argued that faith in Jesus should make them more Jewish, not less. Other Messianic groups, however, are less dogmatic about this. Views about the need of circumcision in order for men to join are not clear. Messianic Judaism or Hebrew Christianity? Messianic Jews consider their primary identity to be "Jewish" and belief in Jesus to be the logical conclusion of their "Jewishness". They try to structure their worship according to Jewish norms, and generally follow some parts of Jewish law. Many (but by no means all) do not use the label "Christian" to describe themselves. Hebrew Christians identify themselves primarily as Christians. They are (mostly) members of Protestant and Catholic congregations, generally do not practice any aspects of Jewish law, and are typically assimilated culturally into the Christian mainstream, although they retain a strong sense of their Jewish identity which they, like Messianic Jews, strongly desire to pass on to their children. Though the boundary between the two movements is blurred, because of their differences they are often treated separately. Critics of the Messianic movement All mainstream Jewish denominations and organizations hold that Messianic Jews are not practicing Judaism, but Protestant Christianity. Messianic Judaism is condemned as heretical and non-Jewish by Reform, Orthodox, Conservative, and Reconstructionist Judaism. There are a few dissenting voices. A few within Humanistic Judaism, a small group of atheist and agnostic Jews, hold that messianic Judaism is a viable approach to Judaism, and believe such groups should be considered forms of Judaism. Examples of humanistic Jews who hold this view include Sherwin Wine and Judith Seid. One can also find a small number of religiously liberal Jews who are accepting of messianic Judaism: Reconstructionist Rabbi Carol Harris-Shapiro wrote in her book Messianic Judaism that it could be considered an authentic branch of Judaism. Reform Rabbi Dan Cohn-Sherbok, author of Voices of Messianic Judaism: Confronting Critical Issues Facing a Maturing Movement, also regards it as a valid form of Judaism. However, their work has failed to win any acceptance among their denominations, or among the wider Jewish community, and has sparked an ongoing controversy as to whether the authors themselves have gone too far. The relationship between the Messianic Movement and organized Christianity has been patchy, too. Many Evangelical and Pentecostal groups have welcomed the movement, but many more liberal Christians have been more critical. Some Christians, mostly liberal, feel that Messianic groups are guilty of false advertising. In 1977, for example, the Board of Governors of the Long Island Council of Churches (New York) accused Jews for Jesus of "engaging in subterfuge and dishonesty," and of "mixing religious symbols in ways that distort their essential meaning." The Jews for Jesus organization filed a lawsuit, which was ultimately rejected, against the 600-member council in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. (The New York Times, July 2, 1977). Another organization critical of the Messianic Movement is the Interfaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington. In 1997 this group, comprising liberal Christian, as well as Jewish and Muslim leaders, put out a strongly worded statement, condemning the proselytization efforts of the Messianic Movement. Most Evangelicals reject the criticism and defend evangelism among Jews. Some Evangelicals, however, have criticized the Messianic Movement on entirely different grounds. Some consider the movement to be "too Jewish" for holding on to parts of the Old Testament that many Christians believe are not applicable today. But this criticism is not widespread in Evangelical circles. Parallels to Baal Teshuva These efforts to convert Jews to Christianity, and the receptiveness of some Jews to it in the past few decades, are a parallel phenomenon, although in an obviously different context, to the Baal teshuva movement that has witnessed a vigorous outreach effort by Jewish Orthodox institutions to reach out to Jews alienated from, or ignorant about, the Jewish faith. Orthodox Jews are conscious of the fact that they are competing with the Messianic movement for the same audience. Specific organizations, such as Jews for Judaism and Outreach Judaism are devoted to keeping Jews out of any Christian movements, and particularly Messianic congregations. The widespread fascination with Hinduism and Buddhism, and a willingness to join these movements, by previously secular young Israelis and American Jews, is seen as part of the same phenomenon. What all share in common here is the fact that a "market" exists for all these efforts, which in turn is indicative of a strong receptiveness to religious and spiritual notions, and a willingness to "buy into" an alternate religious experience and a radical new way of life, leaving many secular Jews mystified by the success of religion-based outreach and recruitment.

0.962434	What STORM reached hurricane status but was downgraded back to a tropical storm as it made landfall in Louisiana?
0.974755	Do you recall the story of Isaac and Rebekah? We meet Rebekah in Genesis 24 when Isaac’s father Abraham sends a servant back to his family to secure a wife for Isaac. Rebekah returns with the servant willingly to marry a man she has never met. Twenty years later, twin boys Jacob and Esau come along. Take a look at Genesis 25:28: Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. Mom and Dad chose favorites. And in the long run, choosing favorites caused major issues in the family. Although Scripture does not go into detail about the marital relationship of Isaac and Rebekah, her willingness to readily deceive her husband for the sake of her favored son (Genesis 27) is pretty solid evidence of division within the marriage. What about us? The story of Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Esau is not about marriage, and I won’t stretch it to glean marital truths from it. But it is an example of what happens when we allow our children to form a wedge between us and our spouses. Because it is an example, I believe we can use it as a springboard from which to discuss positive alternatives. Here are some thoughts to ponder: 1) Instead of dividing us, the presence of our children should remind us to intentionally put one another first. Our oldest child loved both mama and daddy and wanted us to fill different needs. Our second child was much more particular, but she did not mind mommy and daddy being together – as long as I could be there to meet her needs. When our son came along, though, we found ourselves in brand new territory. He was a jealous mama’s boy through and through. Once he began to talk, “My mommy!” was a common phrase when my husband would try to hug me while our son was in my arms. My husband would sweetly, but firmly, respond with, “My wifey!” and proceed to wrap me in a huge hug. He was never harsh with our son, but he intentionally taught our baby boy that it was not a competition. And now my son has no doubts. He knows I’m Daddy’s first. And he’s secure in that knowledge and in the knowledge of our love for him. By extension, my husband and I have seen our love continually strengthened because we reinforce it before our children and the rest of the world! 2) Instead of making life about our children, we are driven to even more strongly consider the impact of our marriage on the world around us. Our children see the ups, downs, and in-betweens of our marriage. They hear us fuss and disagree. They see us in unity. But, through it all, they are completely confident in our solidarity. And if they see our solidarity, how much more will the world see it? Marital solidarity is not a cultural preference these days. But it is a biblical reality. Being intentional about our marriage is an incredible testimony, and our children offer a great litmus test by which we can evaluate how others view our relationship. 3) Finally, instead of life being us versus them – whether it’s Dad and Mom versus the kids or Dad and “Esau” lined up against Mom and “Jacob” – interactions with our children can help us learn how to be strong in marriage in communion with others. I’ve clearly stated on more than one occasion how important it is for my husband and me to pull back and have time to ourselves. But, it’s also important for us to function in community with others. So, we start with our family. We are training our children to follow Christ in everything. That means that if Doug and I have to divide to do women’s or men’s things, our “little” women and man divide and go with us. That’s part of training them. If we divide as a family, it is very rarely for one of us to go a lonely direction. Yes, that’s necessary on occasion, but it is our rule to make that the exception! Marriage is not just about him and me. It’s about us. It’s about everything that encompasses us. Our children are a part of that! As a result, we must actively pursue a godly marriage as a family. What are ways you can accomplish that this year? Share this: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Like this: Like Loading... Related Author: Ann B.

0.975197	Posted: April 27, 2013 \| Author: Dan Klau \| Filed under: General Law \| Tags: first amendment, police, recording police \|18 Comments Last Tuesday, April 23, the Connecticut Foundation for Open Government (“CFOG“) sponsored a panel discussion on the public’s right to record police activities. It was my honor, as the president of CFOG, to moderate the panel discussion, which featured Chief States Attorney Kevin Kane, South Windsor Chief of Police Matthew Reed, Mickey Osterreicher (General Counsel for the National Press Photographer’s Association), Ben Solnit of the ACLU of Connecticut (sitting in for Sandy Staub, ACLU legal director), and Mario Cerame, creator of www.righttorecord.com, a blog that covers this issue. We had a great discussion. For anyone interested in this topic, video of the discussion is available here on CT-N. The discussion was quite topical. For the third time in three years, Senator Martin Looney of New Haven is attempting to get legislation passed that would create a statutory right to sue a police officer who interferes with a citizen’s right to record police activities, subject to certain exceptions. Here is the text of the bill: Section 1. (NEW) (Effective October 1, 2013) (a) For the purposes of this section, “peace officer” has the meaning provided in section 53a-3 of the general statutes. b) A peace officer who interferes with any person taking a photographic or digital still or video image of such peace officer or another peace officer acting in the performance of such peace officer’s duties shall, subject to sections 5-141d, 7-465 and 29-8a of the general statutes, be liable to such person in an action at law, suit in equity or other proper proceeding for redress. (c) A peace officer shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this section if the peace officer had reasonable grounds to believe that the peace officer was interfering with the taking of such image in order to (1) lawfully enforce a criminal law of this state or a municipal ordinance, (2) protect the public safety, (3) preserve the integrity of a crime scene or criminal investigation, (4) safeguard the privacy interests of any person, including a victim of a crime, or (5) lawfully enforce court rules and policies of the Judicial Branch with respect to taking a photograph, videotaping or otherwise recording an image in facilities of the Judicial Branch. The panel debated the wisdom and necessity of the bill, particularly in light of several federal circuit court decisions recognizing a First Amendment right to record police activities. (See my previous post on those cases.) A good portion of the discussion, however, focused on the need for improved law enforcement training. That is, police departments need to do a much better job of training their officers to deal with members of the public and press who record police activities (e.g., arrests, traffic stops, ec.) in public areas.

Related 18 Comments on “The Public’s Right To Record Police Activities” flliberty says: April 29, 2013 at 2:11 pm watched the entire CTN clip, two of my most favorite people were on the panel, Mickey O. and Mario Cerame with a chief of police, the state attorney and an ACLU attorney. To make the long of it short, nothing has changed. Maybe in the area of wiretapping, I perceived that the leo (s) are accepting that wiretapping is dead. I’m pretty sure no one will ever be arrested for this charge ever again for recording police in public, but the leos always tend to surprise me. However, in the area of stopping citizens from recording and taking cameras, the attitude hasn’t really changed. They still want to have the options of taking citizen(s) cameras for “evidence” and they want to have the option to tell you to beat a retreat (basically go far, far away) for “officer safety” and because you are “distracting” the leos. So, I’m sure we will still see plenty of arrests and interference from leos for obstruction of justice, disturbing the peace, loitering, harassment/stalking, and criminal trespassing after warnings on public sidewalks. My favorite line from Mario and I’ve remembered this from a year ago, is that “When a leo tells a citizen to stop recording, this is the worst form of censorship and the most serious form of prior restraint because if a publication is censored somehow by government, sometime later that publication may be released, but when a leo takes a camera or puts a videographer in handcuffs, the news that he was about to gather is lost forever.” Reply MKC says: May 23, 2013 at 5:41 pm First, thank you very much for your compliment. Second, I have to confess–I can’t recall whether Marty Margulies or I came up with that idea specifically. But regardless, I have to give him tons of credit–many of my ideas come from conversations he and I have shared. And he’s a total 1A bad-ass. The basis for the particular idea you’re talking about comes from a US Supreme Court Case: “If it can be said that a threat of criminal or civil sanctions after publication ‘chills’ speech, prior restraint ‘freezes’ it at least for the time.” <a href="http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?q=freezing+speech+prior+restraint&hl=en&as_sdt=2,7&case=2489199669673453004&scilh=0"Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart at 559. With the rtr, post-incident seizure is freezing speech–preventing publication. Seizure in the moment is something more grievous. It’s just–like it never was. Thanks for posting your thuoghts and for caring about the issue. Reply gindjurra says: May 1, 2013 at 9:54 am Section 1 (c)(4) is alarmingly open to abuse, given how many people are convinced beyond any doubt that they DO have a right to privacy standing in the open on a public street, and that photographers need permission to exercise constitutional rights. Reply interested says: May 11, 2013 at 10:51 pm well, it is particularly open to abuse because police can construe those exceptions to apply to almost anything. Except in the most egregious, absurd cases, police will retain their immunity and civil cases will be thrown out. It will be a rarity that abuses will be remedied. At best, this law puts police departments on notice that the public cares about the issue. That will probably cause them to be a little better about it. That is all. The legislature made sure they won’t be held accountable for violations because of that language in the law. Reply catherinetodd3 says: May 13, 2013 at 5:18 pm Interested said it all: “The legislature made sure they won’t be held accountable for violations because of that language in the law.” Exactly. It’s a load of b.s. and will require the Federal courts to intervene I think. How in the world the police can object to being recorded doing their duty as public servants is beyond me. We are one step from a Nazi police state. MKC says: May 23, 2013 at 7:13 pm I could not agree more. I wrote about this when analyzing last year’s version of the bill, which has identical wording to the present bill. interested says: May 11, 2013 at 10:42 pm Been watching the video — The right goes beyond “recording in public,” if that means what I think it means. This is said many times during this forum at Quinnipiac – you can record in public. This really misunderstands the full contours of the right and one hopes those contours are not narrowed. I consider the Connecticut law diminutive. There is an issue of recording police in the performance of their duties, not necessarily public places but anywhere one has a right to be. That’s a big deal. There is a great letter from DOJ to Baltimore police about Baltimore’s general orders on recording. Here is the link to the pdf: Click to access united_states_letter_re_photography_5_14_2012_0.pdf And here is an excerpt, where DOJ is giving feedback on language in Baltimore’s regulations: “For example,General Order J-16 states that officers may not prohibit a person’s ability to observe, photograph, and/or make a video recording of police activity that occurs “in the public domain,” General Order J 16 at 1, but never defines this term.BPD should clarify that the right to record public officials is not limited to streets and sidewalks, it includes areas where individuals have a legal right to be present, including an individual’s home or business, and common areas of public and private facilities and buildings.” There is a lot more discussion of this in the memo. I believe that it is silly to think that you can only record police doing their job when they are on the sidewalk and not in your home or not talking to you on your phone. It is silly — are they any less performing their duty when in your home or, say, engaging in misconduct in a phone call to you (because they think you can’t record the phone call)? It is no less in the public interest to preserve evidence of police misconduct on a phone call to the party recording the call, than to be engaging in misconduct on a sidewalk. Several times statements were made at the Quinnipiac meeting that got this wrong. They kept emphasizing when it is in a public place, because none of us has the expectation of privacy on the sidewalk. But in an official phone call from a police officer, doing police business, on the clock, which is a public job, an officer is not acting as a private agent and has right to demand there be no record of the call. Likewise in your home or on a traffic stop either. Recording your phone call without telling the other party (the police officer) feels sleazy, but if you are being threatened by a police officer, say, it certainly no longer is sleazy, is it. It also is not illegal. Also, you can tell them you will be recording. I am thinking that this may supersede Connecticut two-party consent for recording phone calls. What do you think? The chief of police on the panel also discussed people recording police in their homes, and he seemed to understand that they have the right to do that. He also said police doing “a public job” as opposed to a “public place.” Also I think the issue with witness surveillance — there is a strong law enforcement justification for providing a safe confidential venue for those discussions, including sometimes protecting retaliation against the witness. I don’t think it is a privacy issue, or I don’t think anyway that the privacy issue is the most compelling one. Reply MKC says: May 23, 2013 at 5:59 pm Yeah, Im very familiar with the memo. It’s interesting–DoJ has come out with two. There are some wrinkles here and there that I may write about, especially with how they treat Colten. With witness surveillence–here, I’ll go with the straight policy first, and then I’ll give you the 1A shakedown. 🙂 Policy wise–just go to a cruiser. Go somewhere that the person can lawfully be excluded. Is there really, really a policy interest in keeping something that is said on a public sidewalk “secret”? If so, that seems like poor judgment to me–what about surreptitious recordings? I don’t buy it–policy wise. Neither does the 1A. Okay. This is clearly content discrimination at the least. Police don’t stop people from taking pictures of cats or flowers–it’s about the content. Also, I’m assuming this is somewhere the recorder is not trespassing (on a sidewalk, in the recorder’s home, etc.). So–alright, we apply strict scrutiny. So (1) the government must have a compelling interest, and (2) this procedure must be necessary to adequately advance that interest, and (3) this procedure must be the least speech restrictive alternative that adequately advances the interest. That’s the 1A here. Alright. I’ll assume that we have a compelling interests–that enforcing this law of the state is a compelling interest (it really depends on the law, but I’ll just give that for now–it’s not the meat of the argument). Is it necessary to stop an ordinary person from taking video in public to adequately advance the interest? Um. No–not usually. Reducing administrative costs, by the way, is never satisfies a compelling interest. That is, it it creates a delay that only costs time and money–the procedure will fail the 1A for content discrimination. Okay. Let’s assume some kind of urgency. It would have to be something rather pressing. Is the interest actually advanced in any substantial way by telling someone to turn off acamera, if you’re having the discussing in public. You know, where people now have personal drones flying around, loads of stationary personal surreptitious surveillance devices, etc. I am very doubtful. Last–there is a less speach restrictive alternative. Let the person take pictures and video of whatever he wants in public. But have the secret conversation somewhere that is actually at least a little secret. I welcome being told how I am wrong. Thanks for caring about the issue enough to take an interest and post about it. Reply interested says: June 2, 2013 at 8:49 am I am not worried about the witness issue all that much because police already do tend to pull witnesses to the side at the scene of incidents. it’s already a big part of processing incidents. They tend to create a pocket of privacy from other actors at the scene, other witnesses etc. Except in extraordinary circumstances, that tends to be a very temporary need: to get witness statements at the scene that are not influenced by other witness statements and to prevent arguments between witnesses/actors at the scene. Do you have a link to the “other” DOJ memo you mentioned? I would love to read it. What is your take on the clash between our right-to-record police and Connecticut’s two-party consent for recording phone calls? Taking federal and constitutional law into account as well? (actually it’s not so much consent as notice – you inform and the other party has the right to hang up or not) The two-party rule is not a criminal law in Connecticut, Not getting the other party’s consent is a civil violation. It is amazing how heavily officials who engage in misconduct do so on the phone in Connecticut, thinking no one can record it. MKC says: June 2, 2013 at 10:50 am The other DoJ memo is here. It’s much less substantive than the more recent one. I wrote briefly about it when it came out here. On the civil wiretapping law–I assume you mean the § 52-570d one? By my reading, textually, it applies only to telephonic/electronic communications that are private communications–so it just doesn’t apply to people taking pictures or video in public. Also, taking recordings of people who are on the phone in public does not by my reading fall within the statute–a phone conversation, in public, such that bystanders can hear is by definition not a private conversation. 🙂 There’s no need to get into constitutional limits then, although, I believe there would be such limits if a similar statute tried to create a civil penalty for taking pictures/video in public. interested says: June 8, 2013 at 3:43 pm MKC- thanks for the link. I am replying here to your June 2 comment because the is no reply button for replies to replies! Yes, I am referring to 52-570d. Anything that is from one- to all-party consent is not something I personally call “wiretapping” although I know some use the word “wiretapping’ for any recording of a phone call or, I guess, other conversations. Anyway, to clarify, this is the hypothetical I am exploring: A citizen is on the phone with an on-duty police officer engaged in official business ( in other words, the police officer isn’t making a personal call to you) The citizen wants to tape that phone call, to which the citizen is a party. OK to tape without informing the police officer, or, if informing them, not in the way 52-570d describes? Despite Connecticut’s civil all-party consent rule? I say, if the DOJ Baltimore memo is to be taken seriously, the answer is mostly yes, maybe with some exceptions, and 52-570d be damned. If not, the result is pretty darn absurd because the Baltimore memo cites all sorts of scenarios: Right to record police in meetings with police no matter where they occur. If you are in a meeting with police at the station house you can record it. Right to record police in your home if they enter your home. Right to record police if they pull you over on a traffic stop. Right to record police while they are in the performance of their public duties. This isn’t about public places. This is about police performing public duties. Getting consent of all parties means different things depending on who the party is. If it is your grandmother you should get consent. If it is a friend, or a work colleague etc. But if a police officer calls you and is engaging with you on a serious matter that could result in police damaging you or harming you, with all the power of government behind him or her, and the officer says — I want to grill you on the phone and you are not to record this without my permission — please. How can they expect to enforce that? Is 52-570d, in a scenario like that, being pushed away by these other considerations as to our right to record police? Is it now more reasonable to switch to one-party consent? . See again, the Baltimore memo – right to record them if they enter your home, if you are in the station house with them, etc. It is not only about recording in public but while they are performing a public duty — except on the phone? Wouldn’t seem to make much sense. And please understand, I am not talking about other people’s phone calls. I mean when police are talking to you on the phone. I saw one-party consent is fine in that scenario and should be legal. The exemptions to 52-570d are so laughably Connecticut in the way it lifts this requirement for certain government people — FCC, federal state or local law enforcement etc. Federal law is one-party consent as well as the vast majority of states laws. I think Connecticut’s all-party law is biting the dust when it comes to recording your own conversation with police on the phone. interested says: June 8, 2013 at 4:11 pm Oops, MKC, yours and my links both go to the same Baltimore memo, re chris sharpe, 11 pages. The more substantive more recent memo — do you have the link to that, or is that the memo? Thanks much. MKC says: June 8, 2013 at 7:03 pm Re more recent one: March 2013, an image is here. After August 1, I’ll no longer be working for in government and I’ll be able to post more publicly. I’m just keeping a lower profile until then. MKC says: June 8, 2013 at 7:45 pm Re: your hypothetical. You’re certainly looking at an as-applied challenge, not a facial one. There are way too many lawful applications to muster a facial challenge. Is the application unconstitutional as applied? I think can think of some factual scenarios, but I think generally speaking the law is going to pass. (I may be wrong–absolutely.) Let’s assume that notice is not speech–just a legal act. Note also that recording someone doing something unlawful–an officer making a threat, harassment, etc, falls within exception b.3. So that’s not an issue for the act. What in the first amendment frees the non-officer from being required to give notice in this situation? The state is regulating the manner of electronic communications–not content–just the manner. The conversation is not public, but does involve a public official–that’s your only angle, and I don’t think it will fly particularly given the exceptions like b.3. Inasmuch as the law could be interpreted to infringe on speech, it seems like a reasonable TPM to protect an important interest (privacy over a private phone line is likely important, even that of a government official) and it is a good enough fit for intermediate scrutiny. (Privacy of a government official as he breaks the law may not be an important interest, though–thus exception b.3 could be crucial.) If a court would conclude that the privacy of a government official in this situation is not an important interest, then you have a winner. I suspect a court would conclude that it is an important interest, generally speaking. Also, if you can show that a state actor is applying the law to punish someone for his or her viewpoint–then I think there’d be a good claim. I mean, it’s essentially something like a malicious prosecution claim or an EPC claim. Also, if the non-officer was physically present–I think that could be different. And I think civil liability for recording solely your own words spoken in a phone conversation would be a closer call. If you don’t like this law, even considering the exceptions–and I can absolutely understand why you may not like the law–I think it’s likely that constitutionally speaking the fix is going to be the political process, not the 1A. MKC says: June 8, 2013 at 7:54 pm Good q and thanks for your interest. interested says: June 12, 2013 at 10:45 pm Interesting thoughts. Thanks. This part of your comment: ” …important interest (privacy over a private phone line is likely important, even that of a government official)” ” I suspect a court would conclude that it is an important interest, generally speaking.” Of course we are talking Connecticut and a minority of other states. Most states and federal say otherwise. So, in Connecticut: Say in this scenario there is nothing in the content or particulars of the conversations that would give a court pause about harm to some third party. Say there is only this “general” principle to worry about, the privacy of a police telephone. First, there is no third party wire-tapping on the line so the security of that line remains totally intact. It is operating properly with privacy in that sense, in the sense of a secure line. That isn’t compromised. Second, the all-party consent law in Connecticut has to be based on the expectation of privacy overall, in general, and I can’t imagine how police can invoke that while performing their jobs unless they are trying to conduct a confidential interview. Especially considering that they can’t expect it if they are in your home and you are recording them there. And can’t expect it in lots of other scenarios. In that context, the phone call becomes a pretty stark carve-out. These calls don’t exist solely to get recordings, they are happening in order to engage in important conversations and without recording, the person feels the conversations would not be possible, they’d be too risky. The exception for crimes or harassment is of some interest because that is why she is recording them — because of their past crimes and false statements, intimidation, harassment — based on past experience with them, she figures this is the only way to protect herself. Anyway, I say it is one heck of a hairsplitting complaint for police to make. I wouldn’t dream of advising anyone else and I’m not a lawyer. I speak only for myself. I am comfortable feeling that they can sue if they don’t like it, or they can fight the production of such recordings in any civil litigation. Anyway, no need for response — just leaving this as food for thought. Thanks for the conversation. interested says: June 12, 2013 at 10:51 pm PS, not that I would put it past Connecticut courts to split hairs to the micron, or, when that proves too sweaty and frustrating to just smash the weaker party with a fly swatter. catherinetodd3 says: May 13, 2013 at 1:24 am The whole of Section 1 (c) negates any rights of a citizen to record police. It’s ludicrous to think that this legislation, if passed, will protect citizens in any way. I’d like to see the Federal ruling on this. I can’t imagine how recording police can be “interfering” with them in any possible way! We are truly living in a police state now and most people don’t seem to notice or care. Scary. Thank God for Carlos Miller and websites like this one. Reply Leave a Reply to MKC Cancel reply Enter your comment here...

0.999998	The visitor pattern is a behavioral object design pattern. The visitor pattern is used to simplify operations on groupings of related objects. These operations are performed by the visitor rather than by placing this code in the classes being visited. Since the operations are performed by the visitor rather than by the classes being visited, the operation code gets centralized in the visitor rather than being spread out across the grouping of objects, thus leading to code maintainability. The visitor pattern also avoids the use of the instanceof operator in order to perform calculations on similar classes. In the visitor pattern, we have a Visitor interface that declares visit() methods for the various types of elements that can be visited. Concrete Visitors implement the Visitor interface's visit() methods. The visit() methods are the operations that should be performed by the visitor on an element being visited. The related classes that will be visited implement an Element interface that declares an accept() method that takes a visitor as an argument. Concrete Elements implement the Element interface and implement the accept() method. In the accept() method, the visitor's visit() method is called with 'this', the current object of the Concrete Element type. The elements to visit all implement the accept() method that takes a visitor as an argument. In this method, they call the visitor's visit() method with 'this'. As a result of this, an element takes a visitor and then the visitor performs its operation on the element. Let's illustrate the visitor pattern with an example. First, we'll define a NumberVisitor interface. This interface declares three visit methods which take different types as arguments. Note that if we only wrote one visit method, we'd have to use the instanceof operator or a similar technique to handle the different element types. However, since we have separate visit methods, we don't need the instanceof operator, since each visit method handles a different type. NumberVisitor.java package com.cakes; import java.util.List; public interface NumberVisitor { public void visit(TwoElement twoElement); public void visit(ThreeElement threeElement); public void visit(List<NumberElement> elementList); } All of the elements classes to be visited will implement the NumberElement interface. This interface has a single method that takes a NumberVisitor as an argument. NumberElement.java package com.cakes; public interface NumberElement { public void accept(NumberVisitor visitor); } Let's create a TwoElement class that implements NumberElement. It has two int fields. Its accept() method calls the visitor's visit() method with 'this'. The operator to be performed on TwoElement is performed by the visitor.
0.999881	When one wants to have the best mattress, there are many options available in the market today. In order to choose the best one, it is necessary to understand the advantages of the various mattress types and their specific uses. Choosing the right type of mattress is important for the comfort and health of the consumer. As a result, there are three main types of mattresses that are discussed in this article: The Saatva mattresses are manufactured by the Saatva organization, manufacturer of these mattresses including the Loom, Leaf and Zenhaven. The Saatva mattress is basically an innerspring bed which comes with three firmness (plush, luxury and firm). This mattress is highly recommended by most doctors, as it offers good support to the body while sleeping. The other advantages of choosing the Saatva innerspring mattresses include: o A quality mattress of the Saatva firmness is much more expensive than the other two types of mattresses. However, it offers a good deal of comfort and support to the consumers. Because of its higher firmness level, the Hybrid innerspring mattresses of the Saatva are recommended by doctors. o If you want a very comfortable sleeping position, there is no better choice than the Sauna mattress. This is produced by the Memory Foam Company, a major player in the production of lumbar bed mattresses. The Sauna mattress is especially designed for supporting the lower back portion of the body and relieving lower back pain and stiff limbs. Because of the advanced technology, the company produces the Sauna innerspring bed in a longer lasting and softer material. Online mattresses from this company are available at affordable prices, making them a good choice for your home. Saturation or heat setting is another important factor when looking for a good sleeping arrangement. When you lie on the topmost layer of Sauna, you will experience a higher level of comfort due to its unique shape and design. Moreover, it offers high levels of support as well as pressure relief. The topmost layer of the mattress contains memory foam. Therefore, if you want a mattress that offers a good amount of support as well as pressure relief, then the Memory Foam Mattress from Sauna may be a good choice for you. o Firmness and support coils are also factors to consider when buying a mattress. The maximum thickness of the mattress coils is six inches. Moreover, there are also two versions of the product, which are built differently. The “U” model, which are built with two support coils underneath the box spring, and the “SB” model, which contain only one coil. The SB model is known to offer more support than the “U” model. Therefore, if you want to buy a mattress with more support, the Sauna mattress from Sauna might be a good option.

0.994162	Did you know that using your mobile device in public places increases the risk to your personal data? Devices are easily lost or stolen, putting your device content, as well as your personal data, potentially at risk! So what should you do if your mobile device is lost or stolen? If you’re not sure, here are a few guidelines to follow: File a report with law enforcement. Contact your service vendor to cancel your service and report your device missing. If you have a backup/wipe program, contact your vendor to have them wipe the device. Mobile devices are also susceptible to threats such as application, Web or SMS/text message-based attacks. So how do you protect yourself from all these lurking security threats? Here are some “best practices” that can enhance your mobile security: First, make sure your device uses password, passcode, or pass-swipe protection. Consider using a security software program or app available for your mobile device, such as an anti-virus or anti-malware program. Install a phone-finder app in case it’s lost or stolen. Keep your device apps up-to-date. The updates will have the latest security features built-in. Think about enrolling in an online or cloud-based backup program that will retrieve your files if lost or stolen. While on the topic of security, let’s talk a little about Wi-Fi use. Most of us use public Wi-Fi when it’s available but doing so can put your device’s security at risk. It’s best to limit your activities when using public Wi-Fi. Try to avoid accessing banking services and other sites or apps that utilize sensitive information. In many cases, your cellular provider’s network connection is actually more secure than Wi-Fi. One way to handle Wi-Fi security issues is to eliminate the usage of hotspots completely. However, this may be impractical for many people. If that’s the case, make sure any sensitive website you log into or service you setup on the phone (like e-mail) is secured with SSL encryption to defend against potential Wi-Fi eavesdroppers. If you are really concerned about your mobile device security, consider using a virtual private network (VPN) on both your Wi-Fi and cell data connections. Mobile devices have given everyone the convenience of taking life on the go. This also means potential threats can tag along if you’re not careful. Be sure to protect your device, your information, and yourself. Good luck, and happy surfing! Share this: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn More Email Print Like this: Like Loading...

0.904482	O's favorite Christmas gift was her suitcase full of dress-up clothes, specifically her beautiful Cinduh-ella gown and glass slippers :) I love that the dress-up clothes are in a suitcase and therefore, super easy and convenient to transport. We brought them with us to my mom's for the week after Christmas, and we're taking them to a tea party when O wakes up from her nap. Here are a few highlights: O and M have been having LOTS of Royal Princess Tea Parties! Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing Princesses playing with Storytime Felt dolls.

Can you tell that we love things made from handprints? Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing Elliott's Aunt gave this angel ornament to O for Christmas. She loves it because it's blue (her favorite color), and it has her name on it (under my finger). I love it because it reminds me of our baby who is now O's guardian angel. O knows that the baby is an angel who is watching over her to make sure she is happy and safe, and although Ell's aunt probably didn't intend for the angel to have this special significance, it does for me and it will for O as she gets older and understands things a little better.

My friend, Becca, sent this fantastic game to O for Christmas.

We were all so excited about it that we immediately played the game. We had a great time, and O caught on quickly. We are going to play in English for a while before we switch to Spanish, but I think it's going to be GREAT for all of us to practice our Spanish vocabulary. I highly recommend this very fun game!

We usually forget about it until my mom starts hinting around, but Elliott remembered this year. He kept making eyes at me trying to get me to start looking (I was sitting by tree). I finally figured out what he was talking about and started discreetly looking for it. Then the others remembered and we started frantically searching. I was the lucky one this year! Hooray! Guh-guh and Grandpa also have lots of stockings hanging around decorating their house, and this year they put surprises in them, too. They left a note on the hearth telling us about this. I was the only one who saw the notes, so I had a head start!

Mix a cup of sugar with a half cup of olive oil. We then added about another 1/4 cup of sugar because it seemed too oily. Add peppermint extract (I didn't measure it. I just poured it in until it smelled good :) It was probably about 1 or 2 teaspoons of extract). Unfortunately, peppermint extract has a lot of alcohol in it, so the sugar scrub smells of alcohol as much as it smells like peppermint :) Oh, well. It's the thought that counts, and even though this was easy to make, I put A LOT of thought into it :) Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing We put the sugar scrub in a pretty little glass jar. Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing Then I put the jar along with a sachet in this felt gift bag (from the dollar section at Target). So now the last handmade gifts are finished!

I will write O's name and the year by each one. O and M (my niece) are both decorating my mom's apron. The aprons came from Hobby Lobby.

0.999997	Hace algunas semanas, Google anunció a los más de cuatro millones de usuarios de WooCommerce que el equipo de desarrollo de la compañía americana se encontraba explorando nuevas opciones que permitiese a la comunidad WooCommerce integrar su inventario de productos en Google. La solución llegó el pasado mes de junio. Desde entonces, todos los ecommerce que trabajan con este CMS como plataforma pueden integrar sus catálogos de una forma tan cómoda como intuitiva. Más opciones para los compradores De acuerdo a la explicación oficial por parte de Google «Hacer que sea más fácil para los minoristas que trabajan con socios como WooCommerce integrarse con las funciones de compra de Google en Búsqueda, Compras, Búsqueda de imágenes y YouTube implica que los minoristas de todos los tamaños tendrán aún más formas de ser descubiertos. Además, los compradores tendrán más opciones a medida que ellos toman sus decisiones de compra«. Todos los minoristas que trabajan con WooCommerce podrán, por tanto, cargar su catálogo de productos en Google. Desde allí, podrán crear listas de productos gratuitas y ejecutar campañas publicitarias. Y todo sin salir del panel de control de WooCommerce. Vender online sin conocimientos en marketing nunca había sido tan sencillo Durante los últimos meses, el tejido empresarial español se ha lanzado al desarrollo de nuevas fórmulas que permitan a sus negocios aumentar su visibilidad online. En algunos casos, los procesos de transformación digital se encontraban a mitad camino. En otros, ni siquiera habían empezado. Conscientes de esta situación, Google ha realizado un notable esfuerzo por ayudar a los comercios con sus campañas de marketing digital sin necesidad de tener conocimientos sobre esta vertiente. Mediante esta integración, se busca asegurar la visibilidad de cualquier comercio. Con independencia de su tamaño, facturación o naturaleza. Google se encarga de llevar a cabo un aprendizaje automático para crear productos yu mostrar una amplia variedad de anuncios en multitud de plataformas. Desde Google Shopping hasta Gmail. Pasando por el propio campo de búsqueda o YouTube. Las ventajas de WooCommerce Una de las principales ventajas que encontramos en WooCommerce es la sencillez de uso. Como consecuencia de que está basado en WordPress nos encontramos con un CMS cuya curva de aprendizaje resulta especialmente sencillo. Asegurando una propuesta muy intuitiva para el usuario. Además, el usuario tiene la opción de poder personalizar su tienda online con una gran cantidad de atributos. Teniendo la capacidad de poder añadir o eliminar páginas según sus necesidades. Entre sus funcionalidades más populares, destacan las siguientes: Gestión de diferentes formas de pago. Configuración de los gastos de envío. Dependiendo de aspectos tales como el peso, la medida del paquete o el país del envío. Configuración de los impuestos. Además, es posible definir diferentes impuestos de acuerdo al tipo de artículos.

0.999986	Medicare Part D covers most vaccines and immunizations, but there are certain vaccinations that are covered by Part B: Flu shots Medicare covers one flu shot every flu season. The flu season usually runs from November through April. Depending on when you choose to get your flu shot, Medicare may cover a flu shot twice in one calendar year. For example, if you got a shot in January 2021 for the 2020/2021 flu season, you could get another shot in November 2021 for the 2021/2022 flu season. Pneumonia shots Medicare covers a first dose if you have never received Part B coverage for a pneumonia shot before. You are covered for a different, second vaccination one year after receiving the first shot. Hepatitis B shots Medicare covers the hepatitis B vaccine if you are at medium or high risk for hepatitis B. If you are at low risk, the shot will be covered under Part D. Medicare considers you at medium or high risk if you, for example, have End-Stage Renal Disease, have hemophilia or diabetes, use injection drugs, live with someone with hepatitis B, or are a health care professional in frequent contact with blood or body fluids during routine work. Other factors may also increase your risk for Hepatitis B. Check with your doctor to see if you’re at high or medium risk for Hepatitis B. COVID-19 vaccine Original Medicare Part B covers COVID-19 vaccines with no cost-sharing, whether you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan. You should bring your red, white, and blue Medicare card with you to your vaccination appointment, even if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan. Vaccines covered by Medicare Part D If your provider recommends that you get a vaccine, in most cases it will be covered by your Part D plan. Part D plans must include most commercially available vaccines on their formularies. The only exceptions are those vaccines covered by Part B. The costs of vaccines covered by Medicare Part D The amount you pay for your vaccine may vary depending on where you get vaccinated. Be sure to check your plan’s coverage rules and see where you can get your vaccine at the lowest cost. Typically, you will pay the least for your vaccinations at: In-network pharmacies A doctor’s office that Coordinates with a pharmacy to bill your Part D plan for the entire cost of the vaccination process (the drug and its injection) Or, can bill your plan directly for the vaccination process using an electronic billing system When you are vaccinated in either of the above settings, you should only need to pay the plan’s approved coinsurance or copay for the drug and vaccination process. When you get a vaccine at your doctor’s office, ask the provider to call your Part D plan first to find out if your provider can bill your Part D plan directly. If this is possible, you should not have to pay the full out-of-pocket cost and later request reimbursement from your plan. Otherwise, your provider will bill you for the entire cost of the vaccination (the drug and its injection). You will have to pay the entire bill up front and request reimbursement from your Part D plan. It is important to know that your provider may charge you more than the Part D approved amount for the vaccination, but your plan will only reimburse up to the approved amount—and you may not be refunded by the provider for any amount you pay the provider above the Part D approved amount.

Gregory Bull/AP The Trump administration is considering ways to restrict entry on the US-Mexico border that could include US citizens and lawful permanent residents over coronavirus concerns, according to a source familiar with the matter. It's the latest attempt by the administration to seal off US borders, citing the virus. In March, the administration invoked a public health law to swiftly remove migrants, including children, who are apprehended at the border. That action, including a series of other travel restrictions, has been extended over the course of the pandemic. The options being weighed by the administration would also likely rely on authorities from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the source said. The New York Times first reported on the possibility of barring Americans from returning to the US on a limited basis amid fears they may be infected with the coronavirus. "Career professionals at the CDC are working on an overall approach to pandemic control both now and in the future," an administration official with knowledge of ongoing discussions told CNN. "The regulation is in draft form and subject (to) change. This is an ongoing process and any reporting on this would be extremely premature." CNN reached out to the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security, which declined to comment. A draft memo obtained by the Times says any move to block citizens and legal permanent residents must "include appropriate protections to ensure that no Constitutional rights are infringed" and would apply "only in the rarest of circumstances."

Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images Australia’s states and territories will remain closed off from one another in the coming days, state and federal leaders said, as authorities continue to try to stop the latest wave of coronavirus cases in the country. The state of Victoria, where Melbourne is located, has been dealing with a major upswing in cases in recent weeks. Authorities in Victoria identified 321 new Covid-19 cases Monday and 19 deaths. New South Wales detected 22 new cases on Monday -- the highest in a single day since April. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Monday that “it's unlikely that we were able to move back to a restriction-free society” by Christmas. “I doubt that is going to happen. I doubt the medical position will enable that. And so you've just got to follow the medical evidence on all of these, whether it's borders or whether it's the restrictions on trade or of local businesses or whatever it happens to be," Morrison said. Here are some of the regional policies: Victoria remains closed to all of Australia’s states and territories. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner said Tuesday that he plans for an 18-month border closure between his region and anywhere considered a hotspot -- including Australia's two largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney. “Cancel your Christmas holiday plans, stay here in the Northern Territory," Gunner said in an interview with public broadcaster ABC on Tuesday. “We’re working towards an 18-month-window from today, towards the end of next year, is how we’re starting to resource our borders.

Yuichi Yamazaki/Getty Images The Japanese Ministry of Health said 842 new cases of Covid-19 were identified on Monday, the first time in 13 days that the number of infections reported in a day dropped below quadruple digits. Positive signs also emerged in Tokyo, where many of the new cases have been recorded. The Japanese capital recorded 196 infections Monday, the first time the daily case count there has dropped below 200 in two weeks. Five coronavirus-related deaths were reported throughout the country on Monday, authorities said. To date, 49,630 cases of the virus have been identified in Japan and at least 1,065 people have died. An important caveat: Economic Minister Yasunori Nishimura, who is in charge of the nation's coronavirus policies, said in a news conference on Tuesday that the drop in cases could be due to the fact that fewer tests were conducted over a holiday weekend. Nishimura called for continued vigilance and asked citizens to abide by safety measures in their daily lives, as the recent infections have been taking place more in offices, schools and during social activities. share with Facebook share with Twitter share with email share link 11:28 p.m. ET, August 10, 2020 Expert says children may be able to spread coronavirus like they spread the common cold From CNN Health’s Lauren Mascarenhas Children may be able to spread Covid-19 just as easily as they spread another type of coronavirus -- the common cold, said William Haseltine, a former professor at Harvard Medical School. “There’s every reason to suspect that this virus, even though it can kill you, behaves pretty much like a cold virus, in terms of transmission. Who drives colds? Children drive colds,” Haseltine told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday. “And that's true of almost all respiratory diseases, including the colds that are caused by coronaviruses. And this is one of those cousins,” he added. “It even uses the same receptor in the nasal passages as one of the cold viruses. It just happens to be a cold virus that also kills.” Haseltine warned that children can be infected and infect others, so they should wear masks. He said that children up to 5 years old can be “highly infectious to other people." "It turns out they have a thousand times more virus in their nose than you need to infect, so they're very, very contagious," Haseltine said. share with Facebook share with Twitter share with email share link 12:05 a.m. ET, August 11, 2020 Global coronavirus cases surpass 20 million The number of known cases of the novel coronavirus surpassed 20 million globally on Monday at 8:10 pm ET, according to data held by the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center.

Trump said the White House had not yet formally invited leaders. “We haven’t sent out invitations. We’re talking to them,” he said. He noted he planned on inviting countries that aren’t formal members of the group of seven. Asked whether he would invite Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said he would do so because Putin is an “important factor.” “I certainly would invite him to the meeting. I think he’s an important factor.” share with Facebook share with Twitter share with email share link 10:13 p.m. ET, August 10, 2020 Trump briefly leaves press briefing after shooting near the White House From CNN's Kevin Liptak, Maegan Vazquez and Dana Bash US President Donald Trump was abruptly evacuated from the White House briefing room by security on Monday after shots were fired outside the building. Trump returned to the briefing room minutes later, confirming a shooting. "There was a shooting outside of the White House and it seems to be very well under control. I'd like to thank the Secret Service for doing their always quick and very effective work," Trump said when he returned. After he returned to the podium, the Secret Service tweeted that there had been an officer-involved shooting at 17th Street Northwest and Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest. The Secret Service said later Monday on Twitter that an investigation of the shooting "is ongoing" but that "at no time during this incident was the White House complex breached or were any protectees in danger." A "male subject" and a Secret Service officer were transported to a hospital, the tweet said. Two law enforcement sources told CNN that the wounded person was unarmed. A senior administration official said there was an active shooter near the White House and that shooter is in custody. The incident happened just outside of the White House grounds close to Lafayette Square, the official said.

0.999085	This page describes an idea to create a modular 'plug-in system' for the official bitcoin client, which would also be cross-client compatible. One of the problems with bitcoin is that all of services which use bitcoin are on different websites, or require the use of different applications. The other main problem with bitcoin is the steep learning curve with new users often finding it difficult to use the entire bitcoin ecosystem to achieve a given task. My solution to this is to create a plug-in system with a plug-in browser where modules could be downloaded and loaded/unloaded at run-time, and sandbox these modules so that the client is both secure and doesn't suffer from feature creep. The scripting system for these modules could use for example, Lua, and so anyone will be able to write a module. What modules could be created? Welcome to bitcoin / Tutorial module - This module could be for new users, to direct them to the different services such as the bitcoin faucet, showing them how simple transactions can be made, how the address book works, and explain about blockchain downloading, explaining about transactions and confirmations. Faucet module - This module could connect to different bitcoin faucets. Freenode IRC module - This module could be an integrated IRC client which connects to freenode for help and support with bitcoin. Bitcoin Wiki module - This module could connect to the bitcoin wiki. Calculator module - This module could allow calculations such as addition, subtraction and multiplication to save time when making transactions. MtGox, InterSango, BTC-e, other exchanges module - These modules, one for each exchange, could allow for a much easier way to start using and exchanging bitcoins for other currencies. Bitcoin Charts module - This module could show charts for the exchange rates between bitcoins, other currencies, commodities such as gold, and other information available on sites such as bitcoincharts.com and blockchain.info. Bitcoin Skin module - This module could allow the client to be skinnable. Bitcoin OTC module - This module could allow the use of the #bitcoin-otc system and simplify setting up a gribble account and trading. Bitcoin Mobile module - This module could allow interfacing with a mobile phone wallet. Bitcoin Backup module - This module could allow a series of options, such as backup to email, USB drive, CD/DVD, dropbox, FTP, network server. These are a few examples of modules that would typically help new users, and the order of these modules are relevant to what a new user might use bitcoin for. A tutorial to help them use the interface would make it much easier for a wider audience to understand the basics of bitcoin, particularly if they are not used to internet banking and find it hard to understand the interface. The faucet module would be very helpful to allow new users to get their first bitcoins, so they can play around with bitcoin. The Freenode IRC module and Bitcoin Wiki module would direct curious users to more information about bitcoin. The calculator, exchanges and charts modules would speed up use of the bitcoin client. Skinning would make the client be more warm and friendly and allow a level of personalisation. The OTC module and mobile modules would finally allow people to make their first trades, and of course, there are possibilities for many different types of modules, such as games, widgets and tools. How would the interface work? After discussing this idea on IRC, I think one idea for the interface would be a system based on HTML where each module had its own HTML space. The entire plug-in system could either have its own window or be integrated into a tab in the client. I beleive a clean simple interface will work best. What about security? There is obviously many concerns about security, but the solution would be to sandbox each module in its own process and use a standardized system to communicate with the client. There could also be a rating system on plugins so that other users could give information about the quality and safety of each module, and leave feedback. The plugin system would be seperate and would not have any priviledged ability such as the ability to direct access private keys. What if users do not like the plugin system? The system could be an optional feature in the client, which by default has no modules downloaded or activated. The entire system could be enabled or disabled by a configuration option or through a command line option so that those who want the maximum security and peace of mind, will not have to worry about the plugin system at all.

0.999804	LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police Wednesday opened a “Homicide Library” _ believed to be the first of its kind _ of digital files in the hopes it will aid detectives who are investigating cold cases. Ultimately, the library will house large binders known as “murder books” for more than 15,000 solved and unsolved cases across the city and create a centralized digital database for records going back to 1960. “It changes everything for families like mine,” said LaWanda Hawkins, whose 19-year-old son was killed in 1995. “This is a blessing.” Currently, the library stores nearly 5,000 cases between 1990 and 2010 from the LAPD South Bureau. The library, which is funded by donations, has cost more than $1 million since 2012 and officials estimate it will take another $1 million to complete the effort. “I think it’s kind of golden for detectives,” said Detective Supervisor Olivia Chavez, a homicide investigator who is overseeing the library. Police Chief Michel Moore recalled his murder files from his time as a homicide detective in the 1980s as blue and gray paperbound books, “and I’ll tell you, then it was out of date.” Despite advances in DNA and technology, “those murder books have not changed,” he said. “This will allow us to change that.” The LAPD now prepares the files _ such as organizing the records and removing staples and paperclips _ for the FBI to scan in Virginia. Five LAPD personnel ship 90 to 200 cases to the FBI three or four times a year, Chavez said. Paul Delacourt, the FBI’s assistant director in charge in Los Angeles, said the two agencies noticed an “increasing need” to centralize homicide records before the project began. “We realized that we could not search or cross-reference,” he said, calling the effort an “innovation” that will be worth its costs. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, who are studying methods that can be used during investigations, will also use the library. “That study is going to be another opportunity for LAPD to learn and improve,” Moore said.

0.999998	Left out of much of the initial research and conversations surrounding pandemic response, the LGBTQI+ community banded together to address the social, economic, and health gaps left by their governments. While these civil society-led efforts were able to address many challenges that emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, with the lack of government support and integration into the overall pandemic response, they are not long-term sustainable solutions. On September 7th and September 13th, 2021, Global Health Council hosted community focus group discussions in English and Spanish respectively with over 20 LGBTQI+ individuals from around the world. These focus groups were aimed at understanding the unique impacts of COVID-19 on the LGBTQI+ population. Participants were able to share their lived experiences and stories from working in their communities in plenary discussions. During these discussions, participants talked about the people within the LGBTQI+ community that have been most left behind, obstacles to accessing COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 healthcare services, and what governments and other stakeholders can do to better support this community. Below are some key takeaways from the focus groups: The Most Left Behind LGBTQI+ sex workers, especially those who are transgender, were among the most affectedby lockdown policies; Sex workers are not recognized as legitimate workers in many countries and are consequently left out of unemployment benefits and assistance; Loss of employment and limited opportunities (due to discrimination, educational attainment, etc.) pushed some transgender sex workers to accept positions in factories with hostile work environments; Gendered policies during lockdown and triage made transgender individuals even more vulnerable. Access to Healthcare Delays in care & lack of access to care was a widespread concern, especially lack of gender affirming care (hormones etc.) which was deemed non essential during the height of the pandemic; LGBTQI+ individuals from rural areas had even less access to gender affirming healthcare and often experienced more discrimination seeking any kind of health service; The temporary cessation of non COVID-19 related healthcare led to an interruption of HIV prevention, testing & treatment services; Examples: Many HIV specific clinics closed, forcing people to seek care at the now COVID-19 focused hospitals or go without; A reduction in STD testing has led to a false perception of a reduction in cases; Some HIV-positive people had previously received antiretroviral (ARV) drugs outside of their communities due to stigma & discrimination. Lockdown policies made this nearly impossible; HIV+ status was not originally considered for vaccine prioritization. Gender-Based Violence People living in the streets, especially transgender people, were forced indoors and into unsafe situations due to lockdown policies; Members of the queer commuity were scapegoated and blamed for the pandemic by secular organizations and community leaders leading to an increase in violence against LGBTQI+ community members and a stronger avoidance of health care systems. Government, Civil Society & Community Support Many key funders of LGBTQI+ organizations were backing out due to a perceived inability to continue their work due to COVID-19 restrictions; In some countries, the government still does not recognize the LGBTQI+ community. As a result, this community has been left out of the governments’ policies and COVID-19 support programs; Civil society came together in creative ways to address issues of access. Community members partnered with local law enforcement to permit select members to make trips to hospitals to collect patient medications during lockdowns, reducing exposure while still meeting needs. Next Steps Results from this workshop will be included in a GHC publication focused on inequities across marginalized populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. GHC will share messages and key takeaways from this workshop with policymakers and key stakeholders in an event in the Spring of 2022 to ensure these influencers understand how to better support LGBTQI+ individuals. Further, GHC will use takeaways from these sessions to advocate and support the LGBTQI+ community as we continue to respond to the pandemic. Join Us! GHC will be continuing this series of focus groups with Black, Latino, indigenous/first national, elderly, refugees/immigrant, and Asian communities.

May’s local elections should be a time to increase our number of seats, 90 per cent agreed, with seven per cent disagreeing and three per cent unsure. It comes as polling predictions suggest that Labour is on course to lose seats – with estimates including losses of 50 seats and one suggesting losses could be as high as 125 seats. Labour MPs should take up Len McCluskey’s suggestion to push for a two-thirds threshold in parliament for any changes to workers’ rights, more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of respondents said. Just under a quarter – 24 per cent – disagree, and seven per cent were unsure. The Unite general secretary, who is up for re-election at present, has suggested that parliament should not be able to withdraw workers’ rights currently guaranteed by EU law without getting the agreement of two thirds of parliament. Labour should develop a devolution strategy to cover England as a whole, 64 per cent of readers think. Just over one in five – 21 per cent – think that Labour shouldn’t, and 15 per cent don’t know.

Republicans appear united against the measure, including some GOP senators who favor lifting the Pentagon's requirement that gays and lesbians keep their sexuality a secret. The Republican opponents are upset that Democratic leaders so far refuse to allow GOP amendments to the broader National Defense Authorization Act that includes the "don't ask, don't tell" provision. Lady Gaga spoke at an afternoon rally in Maine to pressure the state's two Republican senators - Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins - to join Democrats in overcoming an expected filibuster attempt. To loud cheers from the crowd, Gaga said she was proposing a new law titled, "If you don't like it, go home," which would remove homophobic straight soldiers from the military instead of gay soldiers.

Bush launched a blistering "shock and awe" invasion of Iraq. The goal: eliminate a perceived threat of weapons of mass destruction while replacing a hostile, tyrannical regime with a friendly democracy in the heart of the Middle East. On Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET - at a cost of more than 4,400 U.S. military personnel killed and 30,000 wounded - America's combat mission in Iraq will officially draw to a close. The quick removal of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein ushered in years of grinding sectarian violence, war, terrorist attacks and, according to some observers, increased Iranian influence in the region. But it also paved the way for nationwide elections and increasing economic development. Whether the war was worth the price remains a subject of fierce debate both at home and abroad. President Barack Obama, who based much of his campaign for the White House on growing public exhaustion with the conflict, will announce the conclusion of the combat mission in a speech to be delivered from the Oval Office at 8 p.m. ET. He spent the day meeting with troops at Fort Bliss, Texas - a base which has supplied soldiers at all stages of the conflict. Obama called Bush for a "few minutes" from Air Force One while en route to Texas, according to White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton. The White House has not said if Obama will give Bush any credit during his speech for the controversial 2007-08 military "surge," believed by some observers to have helped curtail Iraqi violence.

0.966773	in: Articles incorporating text from Wikipedia, Organizations associated with the United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Association Edit Edit source History Talk (0) The Marine Corps Association (often abbreviated MCA) is an independent association which provides a professional organization for members of the United States Marine Corps. It is known for its publications Leatherneck Magazine and Marine Corps Gazette. The MCA occupies a similar role with respect to the Marine Corps that the United States Naval Institute does for the United States Navy, the Association of the United States Army does for the United States Army, and the Air Force Association does for the United States Air Force. Contents 1 Role 1.1 Vision 1.2 Mission statement 2 History 2.1 U.S. Marine Corps program 2.2 Independent organization 3 Programs 4 Awards 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Role[] The MCA primarily is concerned with the welfare of ALL Marines and the advancement of professionalism within the U.S. Marine Corps. It provides professional education programs, publications (the Gazette and Leatherneck), support services to Marines and Marine activities, and it is the largest provider of awards to Marines in the world with over 7,000 provided in 2007. MCA provides events and services to the Marine Corps for events and other activities for which the Marine Corps cannot use appropriated funds. MCA produces 6 annual dinners, 5 of which are done in coordination with headquarters USMC including the C4 Awards Dinner co-hosted by C4 (honoring Marine & civilian communicators of the year), Ground Awards Dinner- co-hosted by PP&O (where the 1st - 4th MarDiv Marines of the Year are presented with awards and the Leftwich Trophy is presented), the Ground Report - co-hosted by PP&O, the Ground Logistics Awards Dinner - co-hosted by I&L (where the logisticians of the year are presented with awards), and the newest - the MCCDC Dinner - co-hosted by MCCDC. MCA's own Annual Dinner features a high-level speaker. Vision[] According to the MCA, its Vision statement is: "To be the preeminent association and foundation for ALL Marines and friends of the Corps dedicated to development and recognition of professional excellence and expanding awareness of the rich traditions, history, and esprit of the United States Marine Corps.."[1] Mission statement[] According to the MCA, it defines its mission as:[1] To support the Marine Corps by disseminating knowledge of military art and science among Marines To provide professional development opportunities for Marines To foster the spirit and preserve the traditions of the Marine Corps To offer special benefits to MCA members History[] The Marine Corps Association was founded on April 25, 1911 at Guantanamo Bay by the officers of the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade, under command of Colonel Littleton W. T. Waller. The slow development of the Advanced Base Force, during 1908—1909, caused the removal of traditional Marines's ship guard roles of the colonial days, creating controversy between the Marine Corps and the Navy. Angered by the Headquarters Marine Corps handling of the ship guard issue, plus the disappointment of President Taft's appointment of Biddle as Commandant, the officers of the provisional brigade decided to form their own lobby and self-education forum; due to the concern of possible intervention in Cuba or Mexico.[2] "...To preserve the existence and status of the Marine Corps...by recording and publishing the history of the Marine Corps.... for intended training and education purposes to all Marines."[3] Although the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade disbanded shortly after, the MCA remained active. Two years later, again at Guantanamo Bay, officers of the 2d Provisional Marine Brigade, commanded by Colonel Lincoln Karmany, formally organized the Marine Corps Association. Colonel Karmany appointed then-Lt. Colonel John A. Lejeune (later the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps) as its first head of the executive board.[1] U.S. Marine Corps program[] For roughly 60 years, the Marine Corps Association was a semi-independent organization managed by active duty Marine officers.[1][4] The organization was headed by its president (the current USMC Commandant until 1976, then the Assistant Commandant) and an executive board. The organization started publishing the Gazette in March 1916. In the 1930s, a membership decline was reversed by efforts of Brigadier General George Richards. Independent organization[] In 1972, policy changes in the U.S. Department of Defense required that U.S. Marine Corps active-duty officers no longer staff the Marine Corps Association. An organizational change was made to spin the Association out of the Marine Corps, as a nonprofit organization. Retiring Colonel Bevan G. Cass was hired as the first Executive Director, and led the association until the end of 1978. During this time, the formerly separate Leatherneck Association (U.S. Marine Corps enlisted personnel) and Leatherneck Magazine, which were unprofitable, independently merged into the Marine Corps Association, which continued both publications and professional programs. In January 1979, Brigadier General George L. Bartlett (retired) took over as the new Executive Director and led the organization until 1989. A key advance during Gen. Bartlett's tenure as executive director was that the Marine Corps Association built (at its own expense) a headquarters building located on the property of Marine Corps Base Quantico. For legal reasons, the Association donated the building to the Marine Corps, which agreed to allow the MCA to occupy the building for 50 years (with provisions for extension at that point). In January 1989, Lieutenant General Anthony Lukeman (retired) replaced Gen. Bartlett. Further organizational growth and integration and support of related Marines organizations (including Toys for Tots and the Marine Corps University Foundation among others) followed. The current Executive Director is Major General Edward Usher (retired), who assumed his position at the Association in 2010 on his retirement from the Marine Corps.[1][5] Programs[] Programs of the Marine Corps Association include:[6] Professional military education Awards ROTC support Seminars Luncheons, Dinners, and other Social Events Awards[] The Marine Corps Association gives out a number of professional and writing awards annually to serving Marines.[7] Awards include: Colonel Bevan G. Cass Award for professional writings, open to all active duty Marines The Ronald D. Lyons Writing Award for the author of the best news or feature story in Leatherneck Magazine (restricted to Sergeant and below) The Tom Bartlett Award for the best Leatherneck Magazine cover photograph of the year The Lou Lowery Award for the best Leatherneck Magazine internal photograph of the year (restricted to Sergeant and below) The Sergeant Major Dan Daly Award for the best historical writing in a base or post publication of the year (restricted to enlisted Marines) See also[] Air Force Association Association of the United States Army United States Naval Institute Coast Guard Foundation References[] ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 "About the Marine Corps Association".

0.999982	Undergoing an audit, or any type of engagement, is a cumbersome process. From the auditee’s standpoint, it is a necessary evil, a seemingly tedious task that can take away time, resources, and attention from other aspects of the business. As a public accounting firm, a substantial portion of our business arises from providing audit services to our clients. Therefore, it is, and has always been, in our best interest to try and make the overall process as painless as possible for the auditee. I have come up with five steps, that both auditors’ and auditees’ can consider in their efforts to make the audit process as seamless as possible (and none of them have anything to do with “accounting”). 1. Pre-Engagement Communications In a perfect world, auditor-client communication would occur year-round. However, because of other factors, this is not always achievable. Pre-engagement communications are some of the most important discussions during the process and set the tone for the audit. During the discussion’s auditees’ can decide on and communicate how they would like the audit to be conducted (remotely or in-person; type of non-attest service desired; point of contact and who will provide access to the files; prefer contact by email or phone; etc.). Additionally, these discussions will also provide time for auditors’ to gather meaningful information about the auditee (changes in management or governance; changes in business operations; how COVID-19 affected the client’s business/operations; how the client would like the engagement to be conducted; etc.). Pre-engagement communications are imperative in performing an efficient audit; in addition to those items mentioned above it also allows for the auditor and auditee to discuss and establish deadlines. 2. Meet and Establish Deadlines Deadlines are the root of the stress felt by everyone involved in an audit engagement. While the stress cannot be completely eliminated, it can certainly be mitigated by establishing deadlines prior to commencing the audit. While a deadline for the final audit report is most common; auditors and auditees should understand that deadlines should be set for activities between initial pre-engagement discussions all the way through the report date. Some ideas for deadlines include; setting a deadline for the auditor to provide the Requested Items List, a deadline for the client to provide each of the items from the Requested Items List; a deadline for the drafted audit report; etc. Setting such deadlines will not only provide transparency in the process but also keep both the auditor and auditee accountable for their end of the audit process. 3. Access and Availability Access and availability is pretty self-explanatory. Prior to the audit process, auditees’ should consider how they are going to give auditors access to information and who will act as the point of contact. From the access side; it is worth mentioning that providing more/better access for auditors allows them to work through more facets of the audit on their own. Conversely, if limited access is provided, auditees’ can expect continual follow up inquiries, requests, and demands. With that being said, the auditee’s participation in an audit will never be completely eliminated, which is why client availability is so necessary. Client availability, whether in-person or remotely, allows for quick responses and keeps the audit running smoothly. From an auditor standpoint, availability allows for clients to more easily check the status of the audit or make various inquiries. 4. Maintain Open Lines of Communication Through the Report Date To maintain maximum audit efficiency, it is vital that lines of communication don’t stop or curtail after fieldwork, they need to continue, at minimum, through the audit report date. Auditees’ should understand that after fieldwork; auditors’ work can sometimes go through four rounds of reviews and it is more than likely that there will be follow up inquiries for the client; responses to which are necessary for preparation of the audit report. From the auditor’s standpoint, the period after fieldwork can be unnerving for the auditee if there is a lack of communication regarding overall audit status; confirming that deadlines will be met; or describing where the audit is in the review process. 5. Ask Questions This step is more directed toward the auditee. Once the audit report has been signed, sealed, and delivered; that engagement is concluded. However, the working relationship between the auditor and auditee is not. Contrary to popular belief, auditor’s generally do derive a sense of value in their efforts to deliver an opinion on a PDF or packet of paper to a client. Rather, we find value in helping our clients; so please, feel free to ask questions. Questions can range from asking for internal control recommendations to asking us to provide more information on an upcoming accounting standard or even just asking how to account for a specific transaction. Not only does this allow for auditor’s to help assist their clients but also provides information about subsequent annual audits. An audit can be difficult for anyone involved but we believe the five steps above, if properly addressed and utilized, will lead to a much more efficient and less painful audits for both parties of the engagement. The five steps above can be implemented by auditees’ of all sizes and resources and aren’t even necessarily “accounting” related. At the end of the day, the five steps above are all about creating, cultivating and maintaining a strong relationship between the auditor and auditee as, ultimately, that relationship can and will drive the audit.

0.99991	ranu802 . Daily Prompt . bookstore, browse, food court, fortunate, goal, mall, walk, weather, winners Imagine that tomorrow, all of your duties and obligations evaporate for the day. You get the day all to yourself, to do anything you please. What types of fun activities would make your day? If I’m fortunate enough to get a day all to myself, meaning I won’t have to feed the kittens, cook, clean, or write prompts. This day would be super cool. I’d listen to all my favorite songs, when I’m tired, I will call my college friend in Whitby Ontario, will talk about the good old days, talk about the rest of our classmates, how they are and where they live. Next I’d go to the Mall and walk for a while to increase the number of steps I’ve taken, which is great, then I wouldn’t have to achieve my goal by running in place for more than an hour. After walking around the covered mall for an hour, hoping it would be enough to reach my goal, I’d stop by at the food court to have something to eat. Weather permitting, I’d get out of the mall and walk in the parking lot to get some fresh air. I’d go in again and stop at the Cole’s bookstore to see if there is any interesting book I can buy to do some reading. If there is nothing I like I’d step into Winners store, browse around, I may pick up a thing or two or buy nothing because the line at the counter is too long and I wouldn’t waste this off day standing in line for a half hour. I’d come out of the mall take route 2 my bus, come home,wear some comfortable clothes and get my eleven hundred page book, ” Atlas Shrugged” will read it till I’m sleepy. This would be an ideal way of spending my free time. : https://sabethville.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/dp-daily-promp…-a-good-time-2 DP Daily Prompt: Hello, Goldilocks! March 22, 2015 ranu802 . Daily Prompt . 'Thai Express', experience, food court, Goldilocks experience, mid eastern, Rice Bowl, rice noodles, rice with noodles, Vegetables Write about a time you had a Goldilocks experience, exploring different choices and finally arriving at “just right.” Yes I had a Goldilocks experience in our food court in the mall. Once I went to one of the shops that claimed they were serving, ‘Mid eastern food,’ I wasn’t impressed it did not taste like anything, it was bland and tasteless. I then went to try out ‘Rice bowl’ they served too much rice, vegetables sliced too large and shrimps were too small, which was a disappointment. I then tried ‘Thai express’, it is a new one opened recently, they had different kinds of food, I chose chicken with noodles,there was a lot of rice noodles, very little chicken pieces, they said it was spicy, I didn’t think they have any knowledge of using the right amount of spices. The mixture of variety of spices made the dish tasteless. Last week-end we went to the same, ‘Thai Express’ , this time I ordered rice with chicken, it was quite good. The chef did a better job this time, which can be because he gained more experience as this dish is ordered by more customers. ttps://sabethville.wordpress.com/2015/03/22/dp-daily-promp…llo-goldilocks/ Post navigation Search Recent Posts My Brother (Misbah-ul Islam) My journal: Day Four Urdu quotes by Khan brothers studio: Translation by Ranu My journal: Day Three Journal: Day Two December 2021 M T W T F S S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 « Nov Follow Blog via Email Enter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.

0.978141	Silicon Valley was birthed from an existential threat to the world. Nazi radar defense technology was decimating the Allied air forces. But American engineers heeded the call, and in a Harvard lab led by Stanford professor Frederick Terman, invented radar jammers that helped win the war. Terman brought the engineering talent back to Stanford, turned it into the MIT of the West, won military contracts, pushed researchers to start companies and made Silicon Valley the center of innovation. How the need to jam Nazi radar led to Silicon Valley It’s time for engineers to heed the call once again. President Trump poses an existential threat to world peace, social equality, the environment and the future of American values. Now the resistance needs tech tools to fight back. There are huge opportunities for startups to build these, though their success will be measured in progress and not just profit. We need tools to organize opposition to his policies, raise money for the movement and protect vulnerable communities. They could help people plan protests and recruit attendees, communicate simply over encrypted channels, easily contact their legislators or register to vote, find the best causes to donate to with a quick click or text, rally friends to the cause and provide legal guidance. We need tools to educate the populace, prevent surveillance and thwart the misinformation state. These could label fake news or teach readers to spot it, track policy changes, demystify complex government systems, identify weekly ways to contribute and fund responsible journalism. We need tools to aid and disincentivize Trump’s voting base that was galvanized with fear about security and the economy. This includes ways to retrain people for future jobs, improve public and private education with personalized learning, reduce healthcare costs, prevent abuse of the financial system, protect our physical and digital infrastructure, minimize the impact of terror attacks and show everyone that America cares about the working class. If you build this stuff, TechCrunch wants to hear about it. [You can email me at [email protected]]. And if you’ve already built it and we haven’t covered it yet, let us know how you’ve adapted your tech for these dire times. We’ll be publishing stories about the best tools for the resistance. [Update: Y Combinator, the top startup accelerator, has put out a “request for startups” in the civic tech space. Startups that fight fake news, ease the transition into the future of work and automation, or improve democracy should consider applying to YC.] Some of our favorite existing democracy tech includes grassroots activism text message management tool Hustle, voter registration site Vote.org and encrypted chat app Signal. Tech can’t solve everything, and having too many options can dilute support. But these have already shown promise for instigating civic engagement. So don’t just “change the world” for yourself like some HBO Silicon Valley parody. Change it for the better.
0.99987	President of the United States, who is Commander-in-Chief in accordance with the Constitution, should decide to send defensive weapons to Ukraine because of the overwhelming bipartisan support of this issue in the U.S. Congress. Chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee Senator John McCain This belief was expressed made a statement in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. "The Constitution states that the U.S. President is a Commander-in-Chief so for us it means that he ought to send these weapons to (Ukraine - ed.)," said McCain during discussions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 at the Brookings Institution. The Senator noted that the issue of sending lethal military aid to Ukraine is exclusively within the authority of the President, and "we (legislators - ed.) want him to follow through with this policy." McCain stated that he visited Ukraine plenty of times and observed how badly Ukrainians need Javelins (American anti-tank arms - ed.). "Many people who died there, bravely fought with their weapons from the twentieth century against the weapons of the 21st century which had been supplied there by Vladimir Putin," McCain said. The Senator has criticized the foreign policy of the White House administration again, by saying that now he doesn’t see American leadership in the world.

0.940999	Ricardo Alberto Silveira de Carvalho OIH (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁiˈkaɾdu kɐɾˈvaʎu]; born 18 May 1978 in Amarante, Portugal), is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a centre back for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid,[4] and for the Portuguese national team. Carvalho was born in Amarante where he played for the local team, Amarante Futebol Clube. By his great performance as a youngster, he was spotted by the Portuguese powerhouse, Porto, and in 1996 he was brought to FC Porto Junior team. Between 1997 and 2001 he had loan spells at Leça, where he made his professional debut, Vitória de Setúbal and FC Alverca, but it was in Mourinho’s reign that he really started to make big strides forward. It was in the 2002–03 season that Carvalho made his name known all around Europe, winning his first domestic league title under Mourinho’s commands, the Portuguese Cup, and the UEFA Cup. His good form led to an international call-up in 2003. In the next season, Carvalho won his second league title in a row, and his first UEFA Champions League title, in which tournament he was named best defender of the tournament.[5] In July 2004, Carvalho transferred to Chelsea for a fee of just under €30 million. With "The Blues", he won two Premier League titles in a row and one League Cup in his first two seasons. In 2008 he helped the club reach the UEFA Champions League final for the first time in their history, a game that they lost 6–5 on penalties against Manchester United. In the same year he was voted by his fellow Chelsea colleagues as Chelsea's "2008 Players Player of the Year". Two years later, in the 2009-10 season, Carvalho helped "The Blues" win their first Championship since 2006 and the FA Cup, by winning this last trophy Chelsea have secured the first ever Double in the club's history. In August 2010, after six years with Chelsea, he transferred to Real Madrid for a fee of £6.7 million. Internationally, Carvalho has represented Portugal in the UEFA Euro 2004, 2006 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2008 and 2010 FIFA World Cup. He was a regular in Portugal's lineup during the UEFA Euro 2004, when his country advanced all the way to the final before losing to Greece. Later, at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Carvalho was a mainstay in defense for the national team. He played in six matches for Portugal, which made the semifinals before being eliminated by France. In the UEFA Euro 2008, he played in three of Portugal's four matches, being eliminated in the quarter-finals by Germany. Two years later, in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he was a regular in Portugal's lineup again when Portugal reach the round of 16, suffering only one goal in all four matches. Personal life Carvalho is married to his Portuguese wife Carina and they have a son named Rodrigo.

"It's important for us to be group leaders after our game in Milan. Our goal is to secure the first position as soon as possible and that's why it's important to earn a good result there. We were better than them at the Bernabeu and they will want to prove they can defeat us." "We knew we had to improve yesterday because we didn't start the match well and Hercules scored a goal in the opening minutes. We were better and superior in the second half, and we ended up winning the match. We tried to support each other in the dressing room and that made it all easier. I celebrated the second goal effusively with Ronaldo because it was a very important strike for us, not because the crowd had been singing derogatory chants against him." "Cristiano has been scoring many goals for quite some time. He started out as a winger and his style has changed. He looks at the goal constantly and he needs to score to feel comfortable on the pitch." "We are all very happy for Benzema. I believe he is in good form. It's important for a player to build his confidence and these games help to do so. He played very well yesterday and he is training well too." "Barcelona won in Seville, but we should only worry about our own game and try to improve in every match. We are better placed than them at the moment and we want to keep it up by winning our games."

0.99294	The number of people banned from Norfolk libraries more than doubled in 2020, despite a year of coronavirus lockdowns, figures have revealed. Last year, 39 people were banned from entering libraries across the county after breaking the rules. Stalham Library - Credit: Archant The figures, which were obtained following a Freedom of Information request to Norfolk County Council, reveal this has more than doubled since 2019 when 16 people were banned. Statistics show that eight people were banned from Cromer Library, with a further seven being banned from both Millennium Library in Norwich, and King's Lynn Library. People were also found breaking the rules in North Walsham, Dersingham, Mile Cross, Swaffham, Wymondham, Hunstanton, Thetford, Aylsham, and Holt Libraries. A spokesperson for Norfolk County Council said: "Our colleagues in the Libraries and Information Service want to ensure that visitors feel safe and secure when they visit. "Any unacceptable behaviour or other breaches of the conditions of use of our libraries are taken seriously and staff have to exclude people when it is necessary.” The county’s libraries closed their doors during the March lockdown and gradually reopened over the course of the summer before closing again in November. Norfolk County Council has since announced that its 47 libraries, plus mobile libraries, will be closed until further notice due to the ongoing pandemic.

Norfolk County Council's libraries all adhere to a set of 26 byelaws which can be found on the council's website, and which fall under section 19 of the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964. While the data does not cite what the 24 breaches were, some of the rules ban people who are "offensively unclean in person or in dress", or who are "suffering from an offensive disease", from entering or using the library. Once someone is banned from one library, they are prohibited from entering any other that is run by the county council. A council spokesperson said: "The national library byelaws were created some time ago and adopted locally. "While we aim to adhere to the byelaws, we acknowledge they need to be interpreted for the 21st century."

0.978847	Strong leadership and supportive ties between middle schools and a New York City expanded-learning program helped boost students’ enrollment in the after-school effort, a recent report says. The report on the second year of New York’s Beacon Community Centers Middle School Initiative was highlighted in an e-newsletter sent out by the Wallace Foundation this week. The Middle School Initiative was launched in 2007 and served 21,000 middle-grade students between July 2008 and June 2009. Before 2007, the Beacon centers—which are located in New York City schools—already served younger children and older youths and adults after school and on weekends. New York City implemented the middle school initiative to target structured programming to adolescents. In studying the various Beacon center programs around the city, researchers found common elements in the ones with the highest overall ratings for participation and quality. Specifically, the strongest programs were likely to be: in community centers located in middle schools; supported by the host schools’ administrations; and, run by more experienced Beacon center directors. The researchers recommended that the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development, which runs the Beacon centers effort, should: Continue to work on building relationships between Beacon centers and their host schools. Offer technical support to improve the content of the programs the middle school initiative offers, which the researchers found lacking in some cases. Develop more leadership opportunities for young people in the Beacon effort.

0.999149	Running is, along with strolling, one of both modes of bipedal locomotion of the person. Defined by a suspension stage during which neither foot touches the ground, it lets you relocate a lot more energy-efficient than walking for rates varying from concerning 6 km/h (ultramarathon) at greater than 40 km/h (sprint). Along with its locomotor feature, it is primarily exercised as a sport in the context of athletics and also as a physical exercise. Unlike walking and the trot and gallop of quadrupeds, it has an energy efficiency that is not very dependent on speed (about 200 mL of oxygen per kilogram per kilometer), which allows a wide range of locomotion speeds. Running makes humans a poor sprinter compared to quadruped mammals but gives them great stamina, absent in other primates and rare in mammifers1. These abilities are linked to an anatomical evolution that appeared in the Homo genre, the question, in this case, would be whether the appearance of endurance racing is a feature of development or a collateral effect of it remains open2. History The origin of the race would be the ability acquired at least four and a half million years ago by the Australopithecus to walk standing on both legs in the Australopithecus trees, perhaps derived from a primitive primate also biped 15 million years old.3 This bipedalism was occasionally used to move in the trees but permanently for walking and running. The proposed theory considers that the Homo genus has specialized in the long-distance race and that the competition is the result: the transition from quadruped to bipedalism having lost the possibility of running a short distance at the fastest possible speed, the Homo genus developed the endurance race, about two million years ago, to practice scavenging and then the hunt for exhaustion. The quest for depletion is costly in energy; the scavenging of the beginning has allowed the man to have access to a diet richer in protein and lipids (fats). This diet gave him enough energy to be able to endure and follow his prey until they were too exhausted to escape. This ability was enabled by twenty-six morphological and anatomical adaptations such as the development of the nuchal ligament and gluteal muscles, the multiplication of sweat glands over the entire body surface (unlike most animals and mammals), the rotation of the shoulders independently of the head and the increase of shock-absorbing organs (Achilles tendon, joints of the foot and knee, vertebral discs, long foot with a large arch but shorter toes to resist the tension forces generated by running), etc. The running competitions were born during the ancient religious festivals of various regions such as Greece, Egypt, Asia and the Rift Valley in Africa. The Tailteann Games, an Irish sports festival founded in the 19th century B. C., are one of the first examples of competitive racing.5 Running in the sense of athletics Running is a sport of running longer or shorter distances. Competitions can be held on an athletic track, on the road or various natural grounds. In France, competitors must be licensed or provide a medical certificate to the organizers for insurance reasons. Depending on the distance traveled and the speed, the type of effort supplied is different: Aerobic running, the oxygen (through ATP) needed by the muscles is mainly provided by cellular breathing (e.g., a slow 10 km run). Anaerobic running, the oxygen (through ATP) needed by the muscles does not arrive in sufficient quantity, VO2max (maximum flow of oxygen that an individual can inspire) is therefore reached. To provide enough energy to the muscle, glycogen (transformed glucose stored in the liver and muscles) is consumed. After its use it is oxidized via pyruvic acid as an intermediate metabolite, and is converted into lactic acid, which also produces (partial) energy through fermentation, but which at some point prevents the continuation of anaerobic activity, the calcium level in the muscles becoming too high (e.g. a fast race over 200 m). Running athletes regularly evaluate their maximum oxygen consumption and maximum aerobic speed. It is the ability to transport oxygen from the lungs to the muscles. Track races range from 60 m to 10,000 m, cross-country races from 4 to 12 km. Road races can be any distance, but the miles used are 5 km, 10 km, half marathon (21,097 km) and the marathon (42.195 km). The 100 km race is a running event owned by the grand-fond family. The most mythical of the French 100 km, a relatively confidential discipline (less than 2 000 riders), is that of Millau. Running competitions on foot, track or road are subject, for France, to the rules of the French Athletics Federation (FFA) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). They are open to the disabled. Other federations are involved in multi-discipline events, such as triathlon, modern pentathlon, raid nature, and orienteering (racing and card reading).
0.999913	The “warrior” gene refers to a genetic variant of the MAOA gene that was named due to its association with aggressive behaviour. The MAOA gene encodes the monoamine oxidase A enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters – chemical messengers involved in transmitting messages from the brain to the rest of the body. Dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine are a few examples of such neurotransmitters. Dopamine controls sensations involved in pleasure and reward and epinephrine and norepinephrine influence the flight-or-fight response. The “warrior” gene results in low levels of monoamine oxidase A, disrupting the normal breakdown of these neurotransmitters. How is the “warrior” gene inherited? The MAOA gene is located on the X-chromosome. Males inherit only one X chromosome so they have only one version of MAOA. If a male inherits the “warrior” gene, they are more likely to be affected by it. Females have two X chromosomes, hence females can inherit two different versions of the gene. This means that even if a female inherits one copy of the “warrior” gene, they are less likely to be affected as they also carry one normal version of MAOA. It is also possible for females to inherit two copies of the “Warrior” gene, but the affect of this genetic variant on females is not well understood. Characteristics associated with the “warrior” gene The “warrior” gene was named due to its association with aggressive behaviour. Since then, studies have linked the warrior gene to various other characteristics including: Antisocial behaviour Pathological gambling Alcoholism Personality disorders Crime and violence especially when abused as children Psychological disorders such as autism, depression, sleep disorders, seizures Panic disorders Mental retardation (Brunner syndrome) Sudden infant death syndrome Although the “warrior” gene has been linked to many negative characteristics, there is also a strong correlation between “warrior” gene carriers and successful business decisions. Recent studies have shown that people that have one or more copies of the “warrior” gene are more likely to take financial risks and are more likely to benefit from these risks. DNA testing for the “warrior” gene A simple DNA test can be done to find out which single form of MAOA a male has inherited and which two forms a female has inherited. Females can inherit two identical or two different copies of the MAOA gene. The test determines how many repeats are present in the regulatory region of the MAOA gene. There are five variants with different numbers of repeats – 2, 3, 3.5, 4 and 5. Individuals with 3.5 or 4 repeats, have the MAOA-H allele and make high levels of monoamine oxidase A. Individuals with 2, 3, or 5 repeats have the MAOA-L allele, known as the “warrior” gene. Suggested Retail Price = $119 USD. This price includes the laboratory fee, results report and all associated postage. A simple mouth swab is all that is required to collect an individual’s DNA sample.

0.956048	Recession brings bad news for all, but for the supply chain it can be particularly challenging. Here’s why… During a recession, overall consumption drops precipitously as consumers are unable, or unwilling, to spend. As a result, manufacturers tend to lower operational costs to maintain break-even and/or mitigate losses. With transport and logistics being a larger portion of these costs, they are also the first to experience the effects of cost reduction efforts. In turn, transporters are compelled to reduce freight charges which may negatively impact revenues and future business sustainability. Why would we worry about a recession now? After all the last recession was more than 10 years ago. However, with a global economy closely knit with the help of technology, the reality is events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have the potential to trigger a recession and affect the supply chain, along with other operational services. Can this situation be prevented? Is it possible to recession-proof the supply chain? Although the consequences of recession cannot be entirely eliminated, there are proactive measures that can help to safeguard against a supply chain breakdown: Focus on high-margin products while eliminating low-margin products During high economic expansion periods, a supply chain is expected to treat every product — those with high-margin and low-margin - with equal importance. However, during recessionary periods, low-margin products can become deadweights that pull down financial stability. As a pre-emptive measure, businesses should make a list of low-margin products which could have lower demand during a recessionary period. An SOP for removing them from the supply chain’s activities should be created. This will help buffer high-margin products without driving the costs up. As a result, the supply chain can better insulate itself from the downturn of the recession to a certain extent. Integrate future contracts and risk-sharing into carrier contracts Carriers and supply chains are like chains and cogs of machinery. The system breaks down if one of them is not in alignment with the other. During the recession, both the parties would be at a loss since revenues will plummet while costs keep spiraling upwards. In such a situation, an ideal way to stay recession-proof would be through future contracts. Future contracts are contracts dated for a future period. The costs are tricky to calculate and might require the help of a financial planner. However, a future contract ensures both the business and the carrier can operate at an optimal rate that is beneficial for both or, at least, at a cost that does not incur losses for both the parties. There is another benefit of integrating future contracts for transportation. It provides more clarity on supplier costs. As a result, it becomes easier to share the risk that both sides have to go through during recessionary times. Bank on automation for cost-reduction Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, Robotic Process Automation — the list of technologies that are reducing human intervention while boosting automation is growing every day. Can they help the supply chain become recession-proof? Absolutely. Automation can help connect every link of a supply chain for better operational efficiency, and most importantly, cost reduction. During times of economic recession, cost reduction is an ideal business strategy to tide over tough times. Run surprise checks Automation makes it possible to integrate several siloed systems that work independently within the supply chain. For example, if demand management is tied to inventory management and purchases, unnecessary purchases that incur supply chain resources can be avoided. Since automation is the future of the supply chain, businesses should start planning for it when the economic climate is good rather than wait for a downturn to stall all business transformation activities. Read More:How to Transform your Supply Chain Operating Model For a Digital World According to IBM, over the next three years, 79 percent of consumer product manufacturers and 85 percent of retailers are expected to switch to this automation. This rate is said to be high in the Nordic regions where the need for a smart supply chain is high. Final thoughts on how the supply chain can tide over the recession If you look at the economic history in the U.S., it has undergone 14 recessions since the Great Depression in 1929. Since 1945, the average recession lasts close to 10 months. Whether we will face a recession soon is a question for the economists, but it is always the right time to plan for staying strong during recessionary times. The tightening process begins with identifying low-margin products that could become deadweights during recessionary periods. Further, future contracts with carriers to tide over the recession periods can also be negotiated. In the end, there is also automation. All of these pre-emptive measures can help a business recession-proof its supply chain.

0.961998	In my dissertation, I investigate the social speaker characteristics: warmth and competence. I refer to them as the global aspects of social perception and analyse them in synthetic speech. Specifically, I hypothesize two things: (a) there are certain vocal cues responsible for evoking these characteristics and (b) it is feasible to incorporate these characteristics in the present day speech generation mechanisms. To validate my hypotheses, I propose a two stage framework: In the first stage, I perform extensive subjective evaluations in the form of listening tests to identify which synthetic voices demonstrate characteristics of warmth and competence. I also perform analysis on the voices to identify the vocal cues corresponding to these characteristics. In the second stage of my dissertation, I propose to incorporate the identified vocal cues into the speech generation mechanism. Employing two target application scenarios - Customer Service and Health care, I propose to show that incorporating social speaker characteristics can not only improve user satisfaction but also user trust.
0.960253	Jules Mark Shear (born 1952) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He wrote the Cyndi Lauper hit single "All Through The Night" and The Bangles' hit "If She Knew What She Wants", and had a minor hit as a performer with "Steady", which reached number 57 on the US charts in 1985. Life and early career Shear was born in Pittsburgh in 1952. He attended the University of Pittsburgh. He had distinguished himself with the Pitt Glee Club where he led a special side ensemble called Wooden Music, which used acoustic instruments, in a foreshadowing of his "Unplugged" concept. One of his noted songs of the time, which he performed in concerts with the glee club, was "Always in the Morning." He left Pitt after three years in 1973, and headed to Los Angeles to pursue a music career. Shear is married to singer/songwriter Pal Shazar.[1] Career Shear has recorded more than 20 albums to date. He made his first appearance on vinyl with Funky Kings (along with two other songwriters, Jack Tempchin and Richard Stekol). After their second album was rejected by the record label, he formed a new band, the critically acclaimed (but commercially unsuccessful) pop group, Jules and the Polar Bears. This band, with Shear writing and singing all songs, would release two albums (Got No Breeding and fnet·ks), merging a tight "bar band" sound with the emerging synth-pop of the early 1980s. Their third album, Bad For Business, was, as with the second Funky Kings album, rejected by their record labelonly to be finally released in 1996, long after the band had broken up. With Jules and the Polar Bears finished, Shear bounced back with several solo albums. The first, Watch Dog, was produced by Todd Rundgren, and featured such players as Tony Levin on bass and Elliot Easton of The Cars on lead guitar. During the sessions, Shear and Easton struck up a friendship, based on their shared musical tastes, which would lead to various collaborations later on. The album featured the original version of "All Through the Night", which Cyndi Lauper would eventually turn into a top-five hit. The album's opening number, "Whispering Your Name", would reach #18 in the UK Singles Chart when Alison Moyet recorded her version of it; Moyet also performed the song on Top of the Pops. Shear then released an EP, Jules, which contained selections from Watch Dog on one side, and two mixes of a club-style dance number, "When Love Surges", on the other side. Shear's next full-length album, The Eternal Return, was a highly polished, synthesizer-heavy effort, produced by Bill Drescher (of Rick Springfield fame). The album opened with "If She Knew What She Wants", which The Bangles would make into a minor hit. It also featured what would prove to be Shear's only hit single under his own name, "Steady" which he wrote in collaboration with Cyndi Lauper. The single reached #48 in the U.S. Shear would go on to form two more bands, Reckless Sleepers and Raisins in the Sun. He also conceived (and hosted the first 13 episodes of) the MTV series Unplugged.[2] His songs have been more commercially successful in the hands of other artists, notably Cyndi Lauper, whose recording of "All Through the Night" reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984, and The Bangles, whose recording of "If She Knew What She Wants" reached number 29 in 1986.[3] In 1988, singer/songwriter Iain Matthews (still using the spelling "Ian" for his first name at the time) recorded an album of Shear's material, Walking A Changing Line: The Songs of Jules Shear, with synthesizer-dominated arrangements. Some of these Jules Shear songs had been previously unreleased. Matthews had previously recorded Jules Shear songs on other albums. Shear was the subject of a song by 'Til Tuesday, "J for Jules", after the end of his relationship with that band's singer, Aimee Mann. Shear co-wrote the title track of that album, Everything's Different Now, with Matthew Sweet, and collaborated with Mann on the album's leading single, "(Believed You Were) Lucky", which performed respectably, reaching #30 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and #95 on the Billboard Hot 100. He described his Sayin' Hello to the Folks as a "mix tape" of his favorite songs. "I felt like recording songs that I like a lot that I didn't write," he told Paste's Eliot Wilder in 2004. "I thought it would be good to record songs that didn't have a life but should've had a life. This is my attempt at giving them a life." He and Stewart Lerman, the album's producer, selected 12 songs from an original list of 60. These included covers by Todd Rundgren ("Be Nice to Me"), James Brown ("Ain't That a Groove"), Bob Dylan ("In the Summertime") The Dave Clark Five ("I've Got to Have a Reason") and Brian Wilson ("Guess I'm Dumb").[4] In January 2013 Jules and his wife, artist/songwriter Pal Shazar, released Shear Shazar. Produced by Julie Last, this is the first time Jules and Pal have made a full album together, though the two had recorded duets on Shear's albums before, such as "Here S/He Comes" on The Eternal Return and "Dreams Dissolve in Tears" on The Great Puzzle. This was followed later in the year by another Shear solo album, Longer to Get to Yesterday.

"Slow Dancing" and Shear's "So Easy To Begin" were both recorded by Olivia Newton-John on her 1977 album Making a Good Thing Better. "So Easy To Begin" was also covered by Art Garfunkel. As of this writing, Funky Kings has never been released on CD, and a second album recorded by them remains unreleased in any form. Jules and the Polar Bears released Got No Breeding in 1978 and fntks in 1979. (The title of the second album is the phonetic spelling of "phonetics", and its lyric sheet and credits were printed phonetically.) While the first album appeared on CD in the late 1980s, the second was not released on CD until 2006. The CD release of fntks includes the contents of the 1980 Economy Package EP. A third album, Bad For Business, was rejected by their label, Columbia, leading to the band's breakup. Bad For Business was finally released on CD in 1995. Shear's solo debut, Watch Dog, was produced by Todd Rundgren and featured Elliot Easton of The Cars on lead guitar, as well as prolific studio bassist Tony Levin, and former Polar Bear Stephen Hague. Easton and Shear would later collaborate on Easton's 1985 solo album, Change No Change. In addition to featuring "All Through The Night", later a hit for Cyndi Lauper, the album opens with "Whispering Your Name", which was later a U.K. chart hit for Alison Moyet. The Jules EP contains selections from Watch Dog, plus two mixes of a dance number, "When Love Surges". The Eternal Return opens with "If She Knew What She Wants", originally written in the first-person narrative (A cover version by The Bangles is sung in the third-person narrative, rendering the singer an outside observer). "Steady", co-written with Cyndi Lauper, was released as a single, complete with a video for MTV, and charted at #57. "Here S/He Comes" is a duet with Shear's wife, Pal Shazar. Demo-Itis is a collection of home and studio demos. Most of the songs had been previously unreleased, though demos of "All Through The Night", "If She Knew What She Wants", and other previous album tracks also appear. Shear formed a band called Reckless Sleepers with guitarist Jimmy Vivino (currently of The Max Weinberg 7), drummer Steve Holley (formerly of Wings), and bassist Brian Stanley. Their album, Big Boss Sounds! was meant as a collaborative project. However, its only notable success, "If We Never Meet Again", was the one track on the album written by Shear alone. The edited single version received minor airplay, and the song was covered, first by Tommy Conwell & The Young Rumblers, and later by Roger McGuinn of The Byrds. The songs on The Third Party consist entirely of one acoustic guitar track, played by Marty Willson-Piper of The Church, and one vocal track by Shear. The lyric sheet included the chords to each song. "The Once Lost Returns" was co-written with Elliot Easton. Horse Of A Different Color is a compilation of Shear's band and solo work. It includes "Nothing Was Exchanged", the opening track from Funky Kingsas yet the only track from that album released on CD. The Great Puzzle includes another duet with Pal Shazar, "Dreams Dissolve in Tears". The closing number, "Bark", prominently features Shear's unique style of playing guitar in an open tuning with his thumb (described later in this article). Unplug This was included as a bonus CD with early releases of The Great Puzzle. It contains eight acoustic arrangements of his more well-known songs. The title is a reference to the show "MTV Unplugged," which Shear had hosted for its first several episodes. The Trap Door EP contains "The Trap Door", lead-off track from The Great Puzzle, along with three previously-unreleased tracks from the Great Puzzle sessions: "His Audience Has Gone To Sleep", "She Makes Things Happen", and "Nothing Is Left Behind". Healing Bones includes Shear's first release of a cover, "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Any More", originally a hit for The Walker Brothers). It also includes a song written with Rick Danko of The Band, "Never Again Or Forever". Elliot Easton played lead guitar on all tracks. The album was produced by Rod Argent (of Argent and The Zombies), who performed on all tracks along with Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta, and Easton. Between Us is a collection of original duets, featuring singers Paula Cole, Rosanne Cash, Carole King, Margo Timmins, Susan Cowsill, Angie Hart of Frente, and Shear's brother Rob, among others. Between Us also includes Shear's first released instrumental, "Entre Nous" (the French equivalent of the album title), in which Shear's guitar work interacts with Rob Wasserman's distinctive fretless bass stylings. Wasserman is perhaps best known for his own album of duets. Allow Me is a full-band project of original material. Shear wrote the album's closing track, "Too Soon Gone", with Stan Szelest of The Band, who recorded their own version on their album Jericho. Shear sang backing vocals on The Band's version. Saying Hello To The Folks is composed entirely of covers, including songs by The Dave Clark Five, Bob Dylan, Todd Rundgren, Brian Wilson, and others. Raisins in the Sun was a one-off collaboration with Harvey Brooks, Paul Q. Kolderie, Jim Dickinson, Chuck Prophet, Sean Slade, and Winston Watson, recorded in May 1999 and released by Rounder Records two years later. Dreams Don't Count was released on the student record label MAD Dragon Records through Drexel University. Produced by Jules and long-time friend Stewart Lerman, this album is full of melodic acoustic tracks, and features accordion and cello in its arrangements. For his next solo album, More, Shear began billing himself as Jules Mark Shear, as seen in the CD's title and credits. He is also credited with playing lead guitar for the first time on a major release (as opposed to his home recordings on Demo-itis). The album was released on his own label, Funzalo Records. Shear was a collaborator on Elliot Easton's 1985 solo album Change No Change, co-writing all songs and singing background vocals. In the liner notes to the CD release, both Easton and Shear cite the closing ballad, "Wide Awake", as their favorite track from the album. Guitar technique Shear's unique guitar style derives from tuning the guitar to an open G, but with an E in the bass, equivalent to an E minor seventh chord. The guitar is not strung left-hand style (with the strings installed in reverse order), but is held upside down, with the fretting hand's thumb wrapped down over the upper edge of the neck, barring across the strings, and the low E being at the thumb's tip.

0.984114	To ensure that employees work in a healthy and safe work environment, employers are required to ensure that there is effective emergency preparedness and planning. What are Fire Blankets? A large fire blanket is one of the most effective, easy, and quick ways for small fires to be suppressed when they occur at work or in the home environment. A fire safety blanket is what the name suggests, it is made according to safety standards and can withstand common fires at high heat. The blanket is designed to remove the oxygen supply from the fire, subsequently smothering it before it can spread and lead to a larger disaster. They can be used on burning combustible materials, electrical equipment, kitchen fires, cooking oils, and others. In addition to this function, it can also be used by those caught in a fire, giving them protection, and minimizing burns while escaping the room or building. How to use a Fire Blanket Extinguish a Fire Blankets are kept in compact bags that have tabs that must be pulled down to release the blanket. Pull the tabs to release the blanket Roll the corners over your hands to protect them from the fire Gently lay the blanket over the fire. Keep the blanket on the fire for at least 15 minutes and the blanket cool before removing it. If an oven or stove is the source of the fire, make sure that you turn it off completely before trying to extinguish the fire. Refrain from using a Fire Safety blanket if the fire is out of control and make sure to alert emergency services immediately. Grease fires in the Kitchen Most restaurants have fire equipment in the workplace as a safety measure in case of fires caused by cooking equipment. Woollen fire safety blankets are typically used when putting out kitchen or grease fires and they must be kept in a convenient location in case of an emergency. Indoor or Electrical Fires Poor electrical wiring or overheated and damaged cords can easily lead to electrical fires. Woollen fire blankets are often used to extinguish electrical and domestic fires. Industry and the workplace Workplace fire safety measures will always include fire safety equipment. Depending on the type of work being conducted, fire safety blankets can form part of the overall fire equipment in addition to fire extinguishers, hydrants, and hose reels. Fibreglass blankets are typically used in industries and workplaces because they can withstand high temperatures. Putting out a clothes fire To extinguish clothing fires, wrap a fire safety blanket around the person whose clothes are burning and roll them up in the blanket until they are covered. Have the person completely stop, drop, and roll to effectively extinguish the fire. How to care for a Fire Blanket Even though it does not have an expiry date, they should still receive care and maintenance to keep them in safe working condition if an emergency occurs. They are preferably stored in quick-release containers, and these must be placed in areas where there are fire hazards. Access to the fire safety blanket must be unobscured and everyone in the area must know how to use them. After the blanket has been used it must be disposed of as it is not reusable. Before discarding , wait until it has cooled completely before throwing it away. Pros and Cons of Fire Blankets PROS CONS They do not have an expiration date They are not effective for large fires They can be used on humans Fibreglass blankets can feel prickly because of the sharp fibres, requiring additional personal protective equipment They are less messy to clean up as opposed to fire extinguishers You need to get close to the fire which may be dangerous They cause less damage to appliances and equipment They are not reusable They are not corrosive They are easy and safe to use if the safety steps are followed when using them Visit the My Safety Shop for all your firefighting equipment needs Once subscribed, SafetyWallet subscribers can access the comprehensive SafetyShop where they will find a wide range of products : Size 01 - 0.9m x 0.9m Size 02 - 1.2m x 1.2m Size 03 - 1.2m x 1.8m Size 04 - 1.8 x 1.8m Not only does SafetyWallet charge competitive and affordable prices, but subscribers get discounts based on their membership circle.
