In book twelve of The Odyssey, the main character, Odysseus, is confronted with three obstacles that he and his crew must conquer in order to get home to Ithaca. The first of the three obstacles that Odysseus and his crew must face are the sirens and their enchanting melody. This obstacle is the easiest one for the war heroes to conquer, all they have to do is plug their ears and sail past the siren’s island. Odysseus adds a twist by having himself tied to the mast of his ship where he can here the song, but cannot be drawn to his death. After the sirens Odysseus and his men only have to face one of the two following obstacles: the monster Scylla, or the natural phenomenon Kharybdis.
Before Odysseus and his men made their journey through these obstacles Odysseus was forewarned of the dangers ahead. Instead of informing his men of their possible death, he kept his knowledge to himself. In the moral standards that people use in the late twentieth century, Odysseus’ decision not to tell his crew about the dangers that lay ahead of them was unethical.
However, in the standards of Greece in Odysseus’ time period it more than likely was a moral action. Knowing both of these facts, how should we, as readers, interpret Odysseus’ decision? Odysseus made his decision because he believed that his crew would not go through the cliffs that house Scylla and Kharybdis. Odysseus was probably correct in his judgment of his men’s willingness to face death. As the commander he has the right to make decisions of this caliber. The idea of a commander having the ability to decide whether or not the crew lives is another moral issue. Personally, I’m not sure what the rules regarding this are in the United States’ armed forces today.
Besides what our armed forces think, I don’t think that the idea of a commander having the kind of authority to decide whom dies and who lives is moral. Besides the idea that Odysseus, as a commander, has the authority to decide the fate of his crew, there is the issue of the reasons behind his decision. I believe that he based his decision to put his crew’s lives at risk on his own need to get home to Ithaca. Therefore, according to Odysseus’ logic, he wants to go home much more than his men because he thought that his crew would abandon the ship if he told them of their fate. Whereas he is willing to face the dangers of the obstacles ahead in order to get home. To me this is a selfish decision on the part of Odysseus, to sacrifice his crew, or some of it, so that he can get home.In conclusion, Odysseus made a decision not to tell his crew about the dangers that lay ahead of them based on several things.
He thought that they would refuse to face death because they didn’t think that getting home was worth the risk. He had the right to do this because he was their commander. Still, no matter which moral system you look through, past or present, Odysseus did not tell his crew about the dangers they would face due to personal reasons. He didn’t tell his crew that six, maybe even more of them, would die all because he wanted to go home to Ithaca.Bibliography:

I recently presented the idea of recuperation exercises and made sense of how they can work on your drawn out wellbeing and wellness achievement. That’s what assuming you read or comparable articles, you definitely know why they are significant. This article goes above and beyond and gets into a greater amount of the down to earth data and clears up how for plan recuperation exercises and integrate them into your general preparation program.
Similarly as with all types of activity, the utilization of recuperation exercises differs from one individual to another and is impacted by your general program objectives, current actual wellness, hereditary qualities, and the general interest you put on your body. Consequently, you can have various sorts of recuperation exercises, contingent upon the circumstance. I recently expressed that recuperation exercises can likewise be consistently booked into your exercise plan, yet making sense of that would include talking about every one of the particulars in a whole exercise plan, so for the present I will zero in on clarifying how for add recuperation exercises to your current activity program.
There are fundamentally two distinct ways of integrating recuperation exercises into a current program and you can utilize either or the two different ways, contingent upon your specific requirements. The principal way is basically to supplant a current exercise with a recuperation one. The subsequent way is to keep all your current exercise plan something similar and add recuperation exercises on top of your ongoing daily practice. Each approach can be helpful, yet one methodology will work better compared to the next in specific circumstances.
While supplanting a current exercise with a recuperation one, you are basically causing a little reduction in practice volume (aggregate sum of work performed) and at last bringing down the general trouble of your work-out daily schedule. This can be something worth being thankful for in the event that you do many testing exercises in seven days, particularly assuming you wind up getting run down or encountering higher than typical measures of muscle irritation and firmness. Then again, in the event that your routine isn’t extremely overbearing, diminishing the general volume and trouble could be something terrible, especially in the event that gorilla mode results
your body isn’t being tested an adequate number of by your customary exercises.
Assuming you keep all your ongoing exercises something similar and include new recuperation exercises, you will add the complete volume in your program. Despite the fact that recuperation exercises are intended to cheer your body up, expanding the all out work of a preparation program that as of now has a high volume might not make the ideal positive difference. Assuming you are now pushing your body excessively hard and doing a lot of complete work, adding more activity might cause you to become run down considerably quicker. What’s more, adding new exercises will build how much time you spend working out, which could be an issue on the off chance that you have a bustling timetable.
There are clearly various things to ponder prior to involving recuperation exercises in your daily schedule, yet with a couple of tips and a little preparation, you will see that it is truly not excessively confounded. Everything begins with just focusing on your body and monitoring how you feel, both overall and after various kinds of exercises. Everybody recuperates from exercises at various rates and when you comprehend how your body answers work out, you will figure out how hard you can propel yourself and sort out when you want to scale back your preparation and consolidate some recuperation exercises.
I ought to likewise bring up that not just your exercises decide how much recuperation you really want. Sustenance, stress, rest, extending, hydration status (water consumption), your wellness level, and different factors likewise fundamentally affect your capacity to recuperate from work out. Thus, your capacity to recuperate may change over the long haul, contingent upon what is happening in your life. Fortunately despite the fact that things change, the signs that let you know when to incorporate recuperation exercises ought to be genuinely steady and I will give you a few hints to assist with sorting out what to search for and what to do in specific circumstances.

The Up-Down method explained
The Up Down Method is probably the most common technique used to derive the mechanical nociceptive thresholds from Von Frey Filament data (the other being the % response method). Filaments are straight "springy" nylon rods of differing diameters (and slightly different lengths), supplied in sets. Each one buckles (elastically) at a force determined mainly by its diameter, but also influenced by its length.
The force range of a set typically runs from 0.008gf to 300gf, so it's suitable for both mice and rats. To use, one would test first with a filament close to the expected threshold value (eg 2g). If the mouse responded, one would then test with the next filament down (1.4g). If it didn't respond, one would try the next filament up (2g) and so on until five changes in direction have been recorded. Hence the name: up-down.
von frey filament buckling against hand tissue
Weber's Law
The method was pioneered by WJ Dixon (no relation) in the 1960s, and developed for this application by SR Chaplan in the 90s (refs at the end). The starting point is Weber's Law. This states that, for a given stimulus, the minimum increment that a person (or animal) can detect is a fixed proportion of that stimulus. This increment, not surprisingly, is called the Weber fraction. So if a human, for instance, can detect 10N with a particular probe and can then just detect 15N as being "a bit more force" then the Weber fraction would be 15/10 = 1.5. As it's a constant ratio, the next increment they would theoretically be able to detect would be 15 *1.5 = 22.5N. And so on.
ne can therefore produce a progression of stimuli of increasing intensity, so that a subject can distinguish each one to be just bigger than the previous, by making each a multiple of the previous by a constant factor. And if one took logarithms of the stimulus values, the differences between successive stimuli would then be a constant amount. An ideal set of von Frey filaments could then be designed according to this rule, each one producing more force than the previous one by a constant factor, so that a subject can just distinguish between them.
The ideal spacing
Dixon also stated in the original article that the spacing between adjacent stimuli should be about equal to the standard deviation of the (logged) data (but that this could vary up or down by up to 50%). It's a slightly circular argument because it suggests that you need to know your population before you can measure it, although the window is quite wide. Another way of putting this is that you will generally use 2 or 3 stimuli up and down from the mean to cover most of your population (because a normal distribution is 2-3 standard deviations wide on each side).
Note also that the method requires a degree of random variation in order to work. If a mouse were to respond at exactly the same threshold force every time, then the up down sequence would merely see-saw between two adjacent levels. If, for instance, these two von Frey filaments were the 2 and 4g ones, then it would be impossible to distinguish between a mean of 2.5g and 3.5g, or even 2.1g and 3.9g. In practise, this hardly ever happens because the sources of random error, such as biological variation from the subject, inconsistency of the operator and random variation in the forces produced by the von Frey filaments combine to provide a (normal) distribution of responses, which is exactly what the method is designed to measure.
Available von Frey Filaments
Here are the forces produced by many of the commercial von Frey filament sets, in grams force:
0.008, 0.02, 0.04, 0.07, 0.16, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0. (the full set going up to 300g).
These values are curious: Taking the 1.0g as a starting point, the next provides a force of 1.4g, giving a Weber fraction of 1.4. But the next two in the series are 2.0 and 4.0, giving a Weber fraction of 2. So the spacings are inconsistent, which may degrade the method.
A Simulator
As part of our initial evaluation of MouseMet, we wrote a mathematical simulator to test the up-down method, and to see how much it is degraded if, for instance, the von Frey filaments are not uniformly spaced. For this we needed knowledge of the typical standard deviation of baseline threshold data from mice and we took this from three sites currently using MouseMet regularly (acknowledgements on the poster).
For the range commonly used to test mice, the von Frey filament spacing quoted above works quite well if you add in a 3.0g filament, so we tested this case first and the results were presented as a poster abstract at the spring meeting of the AVA, Nottingham 2014.
We also modelled other possible sources of error from the von Frey filaments and the up down method. These are detailed on the poster and summarised here:
Incorrect Log Values
The commercial von Frey filaments have a number printed on the handle, which many people put into the standard equation for the up down method. The numbers appear to be the base 10 logarithms of the gram force values for each filament, with 4 added to each value. I assume this is to make all the numbers positive and above 1 (the base 10 logarithm of 1 is 0 and the smallest filament is 0.008, three orders of magnitude lower). Strangely, most of the values are slightly incorrect: the 1.0g filament has a value of 4.08 on the handle and even allowing for the factor of 4, there is no system of logs to my knowledge in which the log of 1 is 0.08! We therefore ran the simulation with correct and incorrect log values to see the difference.
Starting away from the mean
Another important point is that the method stipulates that the first von Frey filament used should be as close to the LD50 value as possible (the mean of the distribution of the data). Put another way this means that you need to know the answer before you start to measure it and while, this is obviously not possible, you should start with a von Frey filament that is close to the expected mean. This creates problems with a blinded trial where you are looking for a treatment effect which may raise or lower the mechanical threshold, relative to the baseline values. Also, some workers will deliberately start with a very small von Frey filament, expecting to record three or four non-responses at the start and to then use the values in the Caplan look up table starting with 000 to generate their coefficient K. This, we believe, is an incorrect use of the method; these coefficients are intended to cope with the outliers in normally distributed data, not because you deliberately started a long way from the mean.
Normality
Finally, any test for normality should presumably be performed on logged data, not on the linear values of grams; if Weber's law applies, then testing the linear data is not meaningful. Note also that the up down method yields a discrete range of values, not a continuum, so the data should be regarded as non-parametric for statistical purposes.

Sándor Weöres
Sándor Weöres (22 June 1913 – 22 January 1989 ) was a Hungarian poet and author.
Born in Szombathely, Weöres was brought up in the nearby village of Csönge. His first poems were published when he was fourteen, in the influential journal Nyugat ("West"), through the acceptance of its editor, the poet Mihály Babits. Weöres attended the University of Pécs, first studying law before moving on to geography and history. He ultimately received a doctorate in philosophy and aesthetics. His doctoral dissertation The Birth of the Poem was published in 1939. It was in 1937 that he made the first of his travels abroad, going first to Manila for a Eucharistic Congress and then visiting Vietnam and India. During World War II Weöres was drafted for compulsory labor, but was not sent to the front. After the end of the war, he returned to Csönge and briefly lived as a farmer.
In 1948 Weöres again travelled abroad, living in Italy until 1949. In 1951 he settled in Budapest where he would reside for the rest of his life. The imposition of Stalinism in Hungary after 1948 silenced Weöres and until 1964 little of his work could be published.
Work
Weöres' translations into Hungarian were wide and varied, including the works of Ukrainian national poet Taras Shevchenko, the Georgian poet Rustaveli, the Slovenian poets Oton Župančič and Josip Murn Aleksandrov. He translated Indian poet Jai dev's poetry Gita Govinda from Sanskrit. He also translated Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis and Henry VIII, T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, the nonsense poems by Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll, the complete poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé,. His translation of the Tao Te Ching continues to be the most widely read in Hungary.
Legacy
Many of Weöres' poems have been set to music. Zoltán Kodály composed a choral piece to the text of the 14-year-old poet's poem Öregek (“Old People”). György Ligeti, a friend of the poet, set several poems from Rongyszőnyeg and other books in the composition Síppal, dobbal, nádihegedüvel. Composer Peter Eötvös has composed two pieces, Atlantis and Ima with texts from Weöres' poem Néma zene ("Silent Music"), and in 2013 he composed Speaking Drums (Four Poems for Percussion Solo and Orchestra) based on the poems by Sándor Weöres.
In 1980 the Hungarian filmmaker Gábor Bódy adapted the poem Psyché to make the epic feature Nárcisz és Psyché.

Print Equal Sign in Concatenated String
Formula: Write an Excel Formula that prints the equal sign in a concatenated string using the CONCAT function.
Formula Generator | 8 months ago
In Excel, you can use the CONCAT function to concatenate strings together. This formula guide will show you how to use the CONCAT function to print the equal sign in a concatenated string. The CONCAT function takes multiple arguments and combines them into a single string. By passing the equal sign as one of the arguments, you can easily include it in the concatenated string. Let's dive into the details of the formula and see some examples of how it works.
Sure! Here's a formula that uses the CONCAT function to print the "=" sign in a concatenated string:
=CONCAT("=", "text")
This formula concatenates the "=" sign with the text "text" using the CONCAT function.
Explanation:
1. The CONCAT function is used to concatenate multiple strings together.
2. In this formula, we pass two arguments to the CONCAT function. The first argument is the "=" sign enclosed in double quotes, and the second argument is the text "text" enclosed in double quotes.
3. The CONCAT function concatenates these two strings together, resulting in the output "=text".
Examples:
For example, if we have the following formula in cell A1:
=CONCAT("=", "Hello")
The result would be "=Hello", where the "=" sign is printed in the concatenated string.
Similarly, if we have the following formula in cell A2:
=CONCAT("=", "World")
The result would be "=World", where the "=" sign is printed in the concatenated string.
You can replace the "text" argument with any other text or cell reference to concatenate the "=" sign with different values.

370 "The primitives, in composition, of coursej raay be radi (？ als or phonetics according to the case,"
The use of the word primitive leads one to think that it refers to the original, primary diaracters, or elements in the laiigu: 飞 ge. This is just what the term does not really indicate in the conventional use made of it by certain sinologues. For it must be remeiubere*] that the primitives do not necessarily mean the most early characters iii the language. For some of the primitives are ！ ate; and there were many characters iu the language before the primitives. Thus then we must divest these words, radical and primitives, with part at any rate of the meanings they naturally convey to lis. AVriting on this, Dr. Wieger says, " The part which is not the radical has been termed by foreigners the Primkive or Phonetic. These are not altogether happy: for the primitive may not be the first, foniit^d, nor can it be said to impart sound: i.e. it is really neither primitive nor phonetic tiioiigh conventionally called so. For instance T&， apparently a combination of A selfish and n mouW'-' But ssil again is an abbreviation of three other primitives, viz boson: the arm: and, ,sjm， cocoon (p216). So either half is as ranch a primitive as the other, and neither of tliem impai'ts its sound to the character T、ai. But on the other hand this derivfitive becomes the primitive of many cliaracters whore it unites with the radicals 手， 心， 水, ： but without giving its sound to them 恰， 抬， 冶. Here it is a primitive i.e. it wns a full character be- fore combining with them, vet not a phonetic. Where the primitive gives its souud as 方 in 訪, 防， in such a case) t!io term phonetic is proper for the primitive.*" The general i<lea among CliiiiP?e lexicogmpliers seems to bo, say 3 Marshman, that the formative i.e. radical ought to express the thing which modifies, or connects itself with the idea snggested hy the primitive. Thus they would esteem it improper to place a character which in any way suggests the idoa of fire underneatli the elenient of water: or to class a character which suggests the idea of an aniiml， under elements suggesting things inanimate. This too, is meMtionad hy Kang Hsi in the dii'tionary. If lliis were alwoys observed we should liave a rule to guide us; the primitive woulu be a kiiui of adjective, imparting some quality or mode of existence to the formative. RADICALS AND PHONETIC COMPOUNDS.— The student may have ex- perienced some amount of difficulty, iu the past, by the aj>pareut incoiisistenoy that a radical doog not always mean what the V'>r<i m plies, ami so it is necessary to define the mattor somcwliat more dwirly.

Somatostatin (SOM) and somatostatin receptors (SSTR1–4) are present in all olfactory structures, including the olfactory bulb (OB), where SOM modulates physiological gamma rhythms and olfactory discrimination responses. In this work, histological, viral tracing and transgenic approaches were used to characterize SOM cellular targets in the murine OB. We demonstrate that SOM targets all levels of mitral dendritic processes in the OB with somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) detected in the dendrites of previously uncharacterized mitral-like cells. We show that inhibitory interneurons of the glomerular layer (GL) express SSTR4 while SSTR3 is confined to the granule cell layer (GCL). Furthermore, SOM cells in the OB receive synaptic inputs from olfactory cortical afferents. Behavioral studies demonstrate that genetic deletion of SSTR4, SSTR2 or SOM differentially affects olfactory performance. SOM or SSTR4 deletion have no major effect on olfactory behavioral performances while SSTR2 deletion impacts olfactory detection and discrimination behaviors. Altogether, these results describe novel anatomical and behavioral contributions of SOM, SSTR2 and SSTR4 receptors in olfactory processing.

Lyza
Lyza was born on December 28. Unfortunately, after her birth, her father, Henry had lost his job not once, but twice. Her mother, Mai, had claimed that from the start of her child's birth, she no longer had been able to grow any plants. Her mother had said that ever since Lyza was born, all the plants had died and not a single plant grows when she tries to plant new ones. Later when Lyza became older, it was told that she had another part to herself. So now hidden deep within is the true part of herself, and the other part, the part that everyone sees is just a fraud part of her. Lyza is now writing stories. Her first one was just to entertain her friend. However, she had became a procrastinator and have not yet been finishing it. Now in jus about one to two weeks, there have been rumors that she might be entering a book contest. We wish the best luck to Lyza.

Eskom in danger of collapse without bailout, South Africa says
JOHANNESBURG/CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South African power utility Eskom needs a cash injection by April to survive, the country’s public enterprises ministry warned in a presentation on Wednesday, although it later changed its wording to say the firm was “facing liquidity challenges”. State-owned Eskom, which supplies more than 90 percent of the power in Africa’s most industrialized economy, cut electricity for a fourth straight day on Wednesday. Eskom is laden with more than $30 billion of debt and is battling a shortage of capacity that threatens to derail government plans to lift the sluggish economy. President Cyril Ramaphosa said last week that the government would support Eskom’s balance sheet but said details would be announced in a budget speech by the finance minister on Feb. 20. The department of public enterprises, which oversees Eskom, said in a presentation to parliament that Eskom was technically insolvent and would “cease to exist” at the current trajectory by April, unless it gets a bailout. The ministry later sent a version of the same presentation to journalists which it said had been corrected, which removed the timeframe and in which it substituted the words “will cease to exist” with “is facing liquidity challenges”. A ministry spokesman did not answer calls seeking an explanation. Analysts say Eskom no longer generates enough cashflow or earnings to meet its debt-servicing costs, putting it at risk of default. Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, however, ruled out privatization of the utility. Fears over Eskom’s financial viability drove the rand 1.5 percent weaker against the U.S. dollar. The yield on the benchmark government bond, which moves inversely to its price, was up 2.5 basis points as investors fretted about the economic impact of a crisis which could see South Africa lose its remaining investment grade credit rating. “With Eskom in the midst of trying to find a solution to its financing needs, investors are more nervous as to what this means to (rating agency) Moody’s,” Citi economist Gina Schoeman said in a note. “Markets are highly sensitive to even a negative outlook decision because of how close this places South Africa to a WGBI-exit and inevitable ZAR depreciation and increased vulnerabilities,” she added, referring to the World Government Bond Index (WGBI). Moody’s, the only one of the “big three” agencies to rate South Africa at investment grade, is scheduled to review the sovereign on March 29. South Africa is rated “junk” by S&P Global Ratings and Fitch and if Moody’s joins them, the country will be booted out of the WGBI, which may prompt investors to dump its assets. The public enterprises department said on Wednesday that Eskom was struggling to keep its mainly coal-fired plants running due to coal shortages and poor maintenance, with 40 percent of breakdowns a result of human error. The cash-strapped company said it would cut 3,000 megawatts (MW) of power from the national grid from 0600 GMT on Wednesday, likely until 2100 GMT. This follows a similar cut on Tuesday and 4,000 MW on Monday in the worst power cuts seen in several years that drove the rand currency down on Monday. The power cuts have led to frustration among ordinary South Africans with traffic gridlock in major cities during rush hours as traffic lights stop working and some mothers struggling to feed their children. “I have a baby, so making her bottles was a challenge because I had nowhere to boil water, which resulted in me having to go to a restaurant that has a generator just to get boiling water,” 28-year old Anazi Zote, mother of a 10 month-old daughter, told Reuters. Business owners with no access to backup power sources have also been hit. “From work to home to everywhere. At the moment the lights are off and we are using the stairs because the elevator isn’t working, and I’m on the 11th floor … it’s frustrating,” Leroy Erasmus, 25, a risk and surveying consultant, told Reuters. Firms in the mining sector, the backbone of the country’s economy, are looking at alternatives to reduce their dependence on Eskom and monitoring the situation closely. “Extended load-shedding (power cuts) would have a severe impact on the viability of mines, particularly deep-level gold and platinum mines,” said Charmane Russell, a spokeswoman for South Africa’s mining body. Harmony Gold said on Tuesday that it was in talks to build a 30 MW solar plant to supply power to some of its assets, in an effort to cut its electricity costs and dependence on Eskom. Gordhan said the government was worried about the impact the power outages could have. “The Eskom board is taking steps to ensure that load shedding (power cuts) doesn’t become a permanent feature of South Africa this year,” he said.

* What incorrect format have I used? And my nomination statement above is my reason for deletion; I don't have to put the word "delete" in bold for it to be understood to be my stance. I've been on Wikipedia for something like 14 years and an admin for most of that time...

* Keep User only does not seem to grasp the prominence Chrisfix has online. If the article for Chrisfix were to be deleted then many other Youtuber's pages must be deleted. Chrisfix pass NBIO. As of right now, he has over 6 million followers on Youtube. As for the sources, User only should take the time to clean up the article instead of tagging for deletion. Here's a couple sources that can be used: Source 1, Source 2, Source 3. Sneasel talk 16:57, 29 July 2020 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: SneaselxLv94 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
* I don't think any of these 3 links show notability through reliable sources. The first two appear to be blogs which are considered to be generally unreliable; the third is not a substantive focus on him in its inclusion on a list of 8 different channels. Please show what specifically he meets in the WP:NBIO criteria via reliable sources. Saying "he has 6 million followers" isn't really showing he's meeting criteria. only (talk) 17:11, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
* Keep This article has several source citations and is updated frequently using social blade live counts and other published articles. This Wikipedia article should not be deleted, as it contains reputable information and is updated regularly with cited information. User only 's suggestion that he is not "notable" because of the citations does not reflect the YouTuber's notability but rather the lack of citations that have been added from reputable websites, of which there are many (i.e. Popular Mechanics, Forbes). I have started to add such citations.--WikiWikiClick (talk) 21:36, 6 August 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWikiClick (talk • contribs) 03:35, 6 August 2020 (UTC) — WikiWikiClick (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
* The Popular Mechanics mention is on a page with about 25 different YouTube channels. It is not a much more than a paragraph about this YouTube channel so not a great source to establish notability. only (talk) 21:44, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
* User only Thank you for your response. There are multiple Popular Mechanic articles; please note the one I just added, which is entirely dedicated to the YouTuber. Also, I'm unsure of how to add references to the following, but he was featured in a print copy of Popular Mechanics as well as a printed Irish newspaper . Also, ChrisFix is the world's largest automotive DIY YouTuber; I'm not sure how you can become more notable than quite literally ranking at the top of influencers in a category. He is referenced in articles all over the world--I am currently adding references to those articles, but I want to make sure that I do it properly on the main page./282252372064731WikiWikiClick (talk) 22:45, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

* Thank you Ritchie333 for updating this thread. Please note that only 's original concern was that the YouTuber is not notable. While I believe that I have made multiple improvements since the article was first published, I would like others to also consider Wikipedia’s basic criteria in regard to a few of the sources that have been cited. Wikipedia’s basic criteria states, “If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability” . I have updated and improved (and will continue to update and improve, as time avails) this article with multiple reputable and reliable secondary sources, including Popular Mechanics, AutoWeek, The Kerryman, and The Daily Targum to continue to prove that there is sufficient sourcing available for this article. I currently have a list of sources that I am compiling and vetting; the aforementioned sources will be added to the article in the upcoming days, as I write content that fits Wikipedia's guidelines and style. Please advise how I (and other editors) can continue to improve this article. Thank you.WikiWikiClick (talk) 04:26, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
* Delete Sourcing is very poor and does not demonstrate a pass of WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. The consensus at many previous AFDs has been that high subscriber counts are not enough to demonstrate notability on their own; see the chart of AFD outcomes at WikiProject_YouTube/Notability where Youtubers with upwards of 10 million followers have been deleted due to lack of WP:RS coverage.
* A brief paragraph about a video he made, with no information about him that is actually usable for an encyclopedia - which is what the few citations to decent sources like Popular Science and Autoweek are - is not significant coverage. Student newspapers are not generally considered to be reliable sources. There is a mention of a Forbes reference above - the only relevant result I found searching for "forbes chrisfix" was this, which is not an actual Forbes article but a Forbes contributor piece which is essentially a random person's blog post with no editorial oversight (see WP:FORBES), and even if it were it wouldn't be SIGCOV anyway. This on Yahoo is a reprint of an article from Carmudi which is a commercial website and evidently not a reliable source. The other sources presented here and in the article are either a) his own social media, a primary source that does not contribute to notability; b) unreliable blog sources which should never be used in biographies of living persons; or c) passing mentions. Spicy (talk) 05:49, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
* The Kerryman article should not be ignored, as it is a reputable source that is about the YouTuber. Also, the Kerryman article verifies the YouTuber's accomplishments and recognition abroad. Likewise, the Daily Targum article should not be overlooked, as it provides significant coverage from a reliable source independent of the subject. I'm unsure of how the Daily Targum article could be deemed unreliable by the previous editor. The Daily Targum is the second-oldest (and one of the largest) college newspapers in the United States and reaches thousands of people in both print and digital form daily. About the Daily Targum: "The Daily Targum has been a repeat recipient of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's Gold Crown Award, the highest recognition a college newspaper can be awarded in the United States, and the Associated College Press's Best In Show award" . talk:WikiWikiClick#top|talk]] WikiWikiClick (talk) 16:58, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
* This is the third time you've voted "keep" in this thread. You only get to vote once. Spicy (talk) 23:50, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
* Spicy Would you suggest that I merely remove the word "keep" or move my addenda to my original comment?WikiWikiClick (talk) 00:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
* Removing the word "keep" is fine. Spicy (talk) 00:03, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Salvio 16:15, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
* Delete - per Spicy above. Based on current sourcing, I think the subject fails GNG. Sources are also at least 60% linking to YouTube videos by the subject and the third party sources have very little coverage of the subject. As Spicy highlighted, articles by Forbes contributors don't count as reliable (unless it's written by their staff). — Infogapp1 (talk) 16:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
* Delete, per nom. Subscribers are not a notability criteria. Other articles aren't considered when we discuss an AfD (WP:WHATABOUTX). Ifnord (talk) 16:33, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
* Delete: Barely found anything about him aside from his YouTube activities. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 14:20, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
* Keep sufficient sources exist.--RZuo (talk) 22:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
* Delete: Sufficient sources do not exist, and this would not be the first time I asked RZuo to produce the ones they think do. No evidence the subject has significant coverage in reliable sources. Ravenswing 11:53, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Two to Go
"Two to Go" is the 21st episode of season 6 of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The episode aired on May 21, 2002 on UPN. The name of the episode is a reference to the previous one, which ends with Willow saying "One down" after killing Warren. Despite having died, Tara Maclay remains in brief scenes that are part of the opening credits.
This episode, and its second part, "Grave", were shown, back-to-back, as a two-hour feature on its original airing in both the United States and United Kingdom – consequently, the presentation of this episode on DVD includes credits such as "Grave" Written by...
Joss Whedon wanted to keep Anthony Stewart Head's appearance in this episode a surprise, and thus left him off of the main cast list; Head is listed as a 'special guest' in the closing credits. Whedon also does this in Angel for Julie Benz in "To Shanshu in L.A.", Eliza Dushku in "Judgment", Juliet Landau in "The Trial" and Alyson Hannigan in "There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb".
Plot
While Spike continues to pass trials in his quest in Africa, Buffy, Xander, and Anya try to pursue Willow, who has killed Warren to avenge his murder of Tara and now plans to execute his two jailed accomplices. They discover that Willow has damaged Xander's car to prevent them from catching her. Buffy continues her pursuit on foot.
Anya teleports into Jonathan and Andrew's cell shortly before Willow arrives. Anya and Buffy manage to evade Willow's attack and slip away with the two men. As Xander drives them away in a stolen police cruiser, Willow attacks them with a truck she is wielding magically; but her overuse of magic has drained her power, and they escape.
Dawn and Clem decide to go to the dark magician Rack's lair, expecting Willow to try to deal with him to recharge her powers. Buffy, Xander and Anya regroup at the Magic Box and debate their course of action. Buffy believes she can convince Willow to relent, but the others disagree; Buffy heads for Rack's, alone. Xander admits to Anya that he might have been able to stop Warren before he fired on Buffy and Tara, but was afraid to intervene, unarmed.
Willow meets with Rack, who attempts to seduce her. She rejects his advances, drains his power and kills him, just as Dawn arrives. Dawn's effort to calm the much more powerful Willow prove futile and serve only to annoy her, but Buffy arrives before she acts against Dawn. Buffy tries to talk with Willow, who replies that nothing in the world matters anymore since Tara's death. Willow teleports the group back to the Magic Shop, where Buffy and Dawn collapse. As Willow attacks, Anya fires up a protection spell to shield Jonathan and Andrew. As Willow intensifies her attack, Buffy tries a physical attack, allowing all but Anya to escape.
Willow subdues Buffy, then disables Anya and negates her protection spells. As she declares her victory, she is struck down by a bolt of energy from an arriving Giles.
Reception
In 2023, Rolling Stone, ranked this episode as #114 out of the 144 episodes in honor of the 20th anniversary of the show's ending.
Screen Rant named it an episode including some of "The Best 60 Seconds From All 7 Seasons." "A minute at the end of the episode depicts Willow's beating down of Buffy and her cockiness at how powerful she's become. She suggests there's nobody in the world with the power to stop her rampage just before a bolt of mystical energy smashes her to the ground. It's revealed to be Giles, absent for most of the season, returning with the power to subdue Willow. The minute ends with Giles challenging Willow's suggestion, saying, "I'd like to test that theory."

Rh and there stood Gabriel, every part of him was visible. Ivan threw himself on Gabriel like a hawk upon a lark.
"I'll wring his neck, he shall not escape me now," thought he.
And the lame man himself now plainly heard steps, turned round, and seeing no way of escape, crouched up against the barn like a hare.
"Thou shalt not escape," screeched Ivan, and fell upon him.
Just as he would have seized him by the collar, Gabriel twisted himself loose from his grasp, and caught Ivan by the lappet of his coat; the lappet gave way, and Ivan fell to the ground. Ivan leaped to his feet: "Stop thief," he cried, and ran after him.
By the time he had got up, however, Gabriel was already in his own courtyard, but here Ivan had already caught him up, and was about to clutch hold of him, when suddenly something crashed down on his head just as if he had been struck by a stone in the dark. Gabriel had caught up an oak chump from his courtyard, and, when Ivan rushed towards him, struck him with all his might on the head. Ivan staggered dizzily, sparks flew up before his eyes, and down he went. When he came to himself Gabriel was no longer there, it was as light as day all about him, and from the direction of his own courtyard there was a humming and a whirring as of an engine at work. Ivan turned him round and saw that the back barn was all aflame, and the flames had also caught the side barn, and the fire and the smoke and chips of burning straw were driving with the smoke towards the hut. 157

Calculating confidence intervals and comparing two independent means
Part 1 Calculating Confidence Intervals
You will calculate confidence intervals for the quantitative variables in the Heart Rate Dataset. Attached below.
Steps
1. Open the Heart Rate Dataset in Excel and identify the quantitative variables
2. Make sure the data is sorted by category (e.g.male-at-rest, female at-rest, etc.)
3. Use the Data Analysis tools of Excel to construct 95% and 99% confidence intervals for all of the sorted quantitative variable. Please note that the statistic being used in the confidence interval of the means, which requires the use of the Standard Error of the mean (not the standard deviation).
4. Create a Word document and use your calculated results to describe the expected value and range for each of the variables.
5. Make sure you note and explain any differences in the means of the variables, and any effect you observed after changing the level of confidence.
Part 2, you will use the confidence intervals calculated to determine if two means are the same.
Steps Comparing Two Independent Means
1. Using Part 1 above
2. Identify the means and confidence intervals for the resting heart rate for mean and women.
3. Use the 95% confidence intervals to determine if the resting male heart is the same as the resting female heart.
4. Repeat the comparison for the 99% confidence interval.
5. In a Word document, explain why you think the two means are or are not the same with a 95% level of confidence. Be certain to repeat your argument for a 99% level of confidence.
Additional Instructions:
Your assignment should be typed into a Word or other word processing document, formatted in APA style.

In 1643, Johan Printz moved the capital of New Sweden to Tinicum Island, higher up on the Delaware River, where he built his manor house, called Printzhof. Nearby, on a high point facing the river, Fort Nya Gothenborgh was constructed of “hemlock beams, laid one upon the other,” armed with four small brass cannon, and garrisoned with eight soldiers and two gunners. It is presumed that the storehouse was located on the land side of the island A year later, Printz said of ‘Tinnakongh’, as the island was often called, that, like Fort Christina, it was “also in like manner made so strong that those who are therein need not fear for any savages, even if they were several thousands.” But a different enemy took Printz at unawares. According to Printz, a fire was started through the carelessness of one of the gunners, destroying the fortress. He had the fort rebuilt the next year. Few details are available on Fort Nya Gothenborgh after it was rebuilt. When the Dutch conquered New Sweden some plundering took place on the island, but whether this affected the fort is uncertain. The Company directors renamed the island “Cattenburch,” after one of the islands in the recent extension of their city. The name did not stick, and in the documents after 1655 the island Tinicum is mentioned at times, without however any reference to a fort.

A Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS – also called a Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale) is a scale ranging from 0 to 10 measuring the subjective intensity of disturbance or distress currently experienced by an individual. Respondents provide a self report of where they are on the scale. The SUDS may be used as a benchmark for a professional or observer to evaluate the progress of treatment. In desensitization-based therapies, such as those listed below, the patients' regular self assessments enable them to guide the clinician repeatedly as part of the therapeutic dialog.
The SUD-level was developed by Joseph Wolpe in 1969. It has been used in cognitive-behavioral treatments for anxiety disorders (e.g. exposure practices and hierarchy) and for research purposes.
There is no hard and fast rule by which a patient can self assign a SUDS rating to his or her disturbance or distress, hence the name subjective.
Some guidelines are:
* The intensity recorded must be as it is experienced now.
* Constriction or congestion or tensing of body parts indicates a higher SUDS than that reported.
The scale
Here is one version of the scale:
10 = Feels unbearably bad, beside yourself, out of control as in a nervous breakdown, overwhelmed, at the end of your rope. You may feel so upset that you don't want to talk because you can't imagine how anyone could possibly understand your agitation.
9 = Feeling desperate. What most people call a 10 is actually a 9. Feeling extremely freaked out to the point that it almost feels unbearable and you are getting scared of what you might do. Feeling very, very bad, losing control of your emotions.
8 = Freaking out. The beginning of alienation.
7 = Starting to freak out, on the edge of some definitely bad feelings. You can maintain control with difficulty.
6 = Feeling bad to the point that you begin to think something ought to be done about the way you feel.
5 = Moderately upset, uncomfortable. Unpleasant feelings are still manageable with some effort.
4 = Somewhat upset to the point that you cannot easily ignore an unpleasant thought. You can handle it OK but don't feel good.
3 = Mildly upset. Worried, bothered to the point that you notice it.
2 = A little bit upset, but not noticeable unless you took care to pay attention to your feelings and then realize, "yes" there is something bothering me.
1 = No acute distress and feeling basically good. If you took special effort you might feel something unpleasant but not much.
0 = Peace, serenity, total relief. No more anxiety of any kind about any particular issue.
Utility does not require precision
In using SUDS in a therapeutic setting, the therapist does not necessarily define the scale, because one of the benefits of asking a patient or client for a SUDS score is that it is simple. Typically, you can ask the client, "On a scale of zero to ten, where zero is the best you can feel and ten is the worst, how do you feel right now?"
The purpose of this question is to enable the patient or client to notice improvements, and the inherent difference between one person's subjective scale and another person's is irrelevant to therapy with either individual. Our brains are sophisticated enough that they can usually summarize a large amount of data very quickly, and often accurately.
There is a possibility that in some forms of therapy, the patient will want to see progress and will therefore report progress that isn't objectively present—a type one error from a statistical point of view. While both type I and type II errors are important in research situations, type one errors can have a therapeutic utility in clinical situations, in which they can provide an indirect opportunity for positive autosuggestion—much like the indirect suggestions employed in Eriksonian hypnosis.
Thus, since the main use of SUDS is for clinical purposes, rather than research purposes, the imprecise nature of the scale is relatively unimportant to its main users: patients and clinicians.

Revamped Copa America to take place in north-south zones in 2020
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The 2020 Copa America will mark a tournament revamp, with six teams beginning the campaign in a north zone in Colombia and six playing in a south zone in co-hosts Argentina, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said on Wednesday. Argentina will be in the southern group, alongside Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and an as yet undisclosed guest. Brazil will feature in the northern group with Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and another invited nation. The teams will play each other once in their groups, and the top four sides in each group will then qualify for the quarter-finals. The final is to be played in Argentina. The changes are part of a widespread attempt to revitalize South American club and international competitions and bring them more into line with Europe. CONMEBOL have abandoned their six-decades long tradition of playing the Copa Libertadores final on a home-and-away basis, and will this year play the final at a neutral ground for the first time, much like the Champions League. Next year’s Copa America will be the fourth in six years. Officials want the tournament to be played at the same time as the European Championship, Europe’s equivalent.

7 Best Industrial Stocks to Buy for America’s Manufacturing Renaissance
InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
We are currently in the expansion stage of our business cycle, which means that we have more capacity with many opportunities to grow. Thus, it is an excellent time for industrial companies and their underlying stocks to thrive. The opportunities for infrastructure spending and green energy investments are powerful forces in the manufacturing industry.
Increasing global output and higher capital expenditures are expected to help a wide range of industrial firms achieve revenue growth in the coming years, particularly because of the global economic recovery. Additionally, governments are looking to jumpstart their economies through tremendous infrastructure spending worldwide. America stands head and shoulders above all the others in this space.
President Joe Biden has signed the $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law, giving him and others their largest victory to date in pushing for domestic spending. The new legislation will funnel billions toward state-level improvements and upgrades for roads, bridges, and transit systems. It will help Americans in their everyday lives and will also increase jobs. Construction is the heart of our economy. It pumps life into everything from buildings and roads to bridges and power lines, all industries depend on it for their success. Hence, the emphasis on this sector makes sense.
7 Cheapened Stocks to Buy As We Ride Into 2022
Read on for my take on seven industrial stocks that will continue to benefit from this trend, namely:
Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT)
Deere & Company (NYSE:DE)
Johnson Controls International (NYSE:JCI)
Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR)
Waste Management (NYSE:WM)
FedEx (NYSE:FDX)
Nielsen Holdings (NYSE:NLSN)
Industrial Stocks to Buy: Caterpillar (CAT)

Industrial giant Caterpillar is a leading construction and mining equipment manufacturer, diesel engines for heavy-duty trucks and natural gas turbines. With a more than 15% market share in 2020 and strong respect from customers all around the globe — it is no wonder why they are also one of America’s most successful companies.
As a bellwether for the economy, infrastructure companies rely on construction to keep going. The pickup in industrial activity is expected to fuel revenue growth for CAT. Consequently, management expects revenues and earnings to continue growing at a healthy pace.
It will benefit from increased demand for its construction equipment, a major component of CAT’s business. The government spending on infrastructure and building activity in China and America are huge tailwinds. Since assuming office, President Biden has been very aggressive in building up infrastructure, highlighted by his trillion-dollar infrastructure project.
The industrial giant reported strong third-quarter earnings as demand for construction equipment increased and commodity prices continued their rebound. Caterpillar’s profits reached a whopping $2.66 per share for the three months ending in September, up nearly 100% from last year and well above analyst expectations of only $2.20. group revenues rose 25% to $12.4 billion. By the end of the quarter, Caterpillar had $19.4 billion in cash, compared to $10.8 billion sequentially.
“Our third-quarter results reflect higher sales and revenues across our three primary segments and in all regions,” said CEO Jim Umpleby. As we head into the new year, Caterpillar is in a prime position to succeed and thrive. According to data from Refinitiv, analyst estimates call for 35.7% revenue growth for fiscal 2022, according to the 17 CAT stock analysts surveyed.
Deere & Company (DE)

Deere & Company manufactures various products, including agricultural machinery, heavy equipment for the construction and farming, and forestry machines. It also produces diesel engines used in various applications like tractors or trucks.
DE stock is always a favorite among industrial stocks considering its diversified business model. It has leading market shares across multiple large farm categories such as tractors or harvesters that help support farmers all over the globe. Manufacturers see increased production rising in conjunction with the demand for construction equipment and tractors.
The benefits of a strong dollar and higher crop prices are helping to drive Deere’s revenue growth. The firm also sees an incentive in its product replacement bid, which makes it easier for farmers who need new equipment as they switch over from older models that may not withstand today’s agricultural demands.
Net income for the year ended Oct. 30, 2021 rose to $5.963 billion, more than double the $2.751 billion from the year earlier. There has been an impressive improvement just over one single year.
7 of the Best Growth Stocks to Buy for 2022
“Looking ahead, we expect demand for farm and construction equipment to continue benefiting from positive fundamentals, including favorable crop prices, economic growth, and increased investment in infrastructure,” chairman and CEO John C. May said, commenting on the results.
“We anticipate supply-chain pressures will continue to pose challenges in our industries. We are working closely with our suppliers to address these issues and ensure that our customers can deliver essential food and infrastructure more profitably and sustainably,” he added.
Net income for 2022 is projected to be in a range of $6.5 billion to $7.0 billion — a very healthy guidance range.
Industrial Stocks to Buy: Johnson Controls International (JCI)

Johnson Controls International offers a wide range of HVAC products to keep your facility running smoothly. A major player in the industry, JCI controls provides installation and service for heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, and industrial refrigeration units like those used at meat processing plants or breweries, among other places where they are needed. They also offer fire protection solutions. JCI’s work includes providing intelligent buildings that are efficient and integrated with other technologies.
As JCI scales up its OpenBlue platform, it should see an acceleration in long-term growth over time. They are expected to continue following through with plans for 150 new product launches throughout fiscal 2021 which will boost their product pipeline even further and lead them into a brighter future as momentum around residential construction continues alongside secular gains within smart buildings/cities marketplaces where Johnson holds an advantage due to their expertise related these technologies; analysts project this trend to continue moving forward.
JCI reported an adjusted earnings per share of 88 cents, up 16% yearly and sales jumped by 7% in the fourth quarter. This growth can be attributed to their effective marketing efforts and the success of new products in distribution. Adjusted net income from continuing operations increased 12% in the past year to $628 million. Apart from these solid numbers, the multinational conglomerate issued upbeat first quarter and full-year fiscal 2022 guidance.
For the first quarter, JCI is forecasting mid-single-digit growth in organic revenue for this year. Adjusted EBITA margin is expected to expand by 40-50 basis points. Meanwhile, the adjusted EPS before special items guidance range of 52 cents to 54 cents signifies 21%-26% growth year-over-year.
JCI is forecasting mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth for the full year. The consensus of seven analysts following JCI stock is for 8.9%.
Emerson Electric (EMR)

Emerson Electric, maker of power tools and other industrial equipment for use in manufacturing plants, is not having an excellent time as of late. A global enterprise, the company has operations in two major industries: automation solutions and commercial/residential solutions. The automation solutions sector is a leader in providing process management systems that automate everything from valves and pumps to intricate pieces of machinery.
The company’s commercial and residential solutions segment focuses on climate technologies, such as HVAC products. Some of their home innovations include InSinkErator garbage disposals for a cleaner kitchen environment or programmable thermostats to ensure that you’re always maintaining the right temperature in your house.
Industrial companies generally had a great second half of 2021. However, Emerson Electric stumbled a bit in its fiscal fourth quarter. The U.S. technology and engineering company reported a 7% drop in net income from the year-ago period. But they are expecting strong underlying demand for 2022. It posted record earnings of $670 million, a steep drop from last year’s figure of $723.5 million. EPS for the year rose 18% to $3.82, with adjusted EPS up 19% – exceeding guidance by quite a bit. Full-year net sales jumped 9% at $18.2 billion.
7 Cheapened Stocks to Buy As We Ride Into 2022
“We don’t expect the global supply-chain landscape to hinder our success around long-term value creation, and we continue to progress toward our cost reset targets,” CEO Lal Karsanbhai said. These words will instill confidence in Emerson Electric investors.
Overall, EMR stock is a solid performer that has done well over the last five years. Hence, there is no reason why Emerson Electric is not one of the top industrial stocks out there.
Industrial Stocks to Buy: Waste Management (WM)

Waste Management is one of North America’s leading providers of collection and disposal services. They also have a track record for developing landfill gas-to-energy facilities that help reduce greenhouse gases in our environment while helping provide clean electricity locally.
Waste Management’s business is more recession-resistant than other industrial companies because it provides residential, commercial, and municipal services. The company saw an increase in revenue and earnings as the Covid-19 crisis subsided. Due to a continuous focus on reducing costs, Waste Management could blunt economic impacts and emerge more profitable than ever before.
WM has invested in an automated fleet of collection trucks, which are now running on natural gas. These investments will help the company reduce its costs and environmental footprint while also contributing to cleaner air for everyone.
It has used its free cash flow to make acquisitions and maintain an investment-grade balance sheet. They paid $4.6 billion for the waste disposal, collection recycling services company Advanced Disposal in 2020 while returning money to shareholders through dividends or repurchases of their shares- all this shows how committed they are towards growing profitable businesses even if it means making some investments upfront.
WM always exhibited slow but steady growth patterns. But 2021 is on track to be a historic year. In its most recent Q3 earnings report, Waste Management reported $4.7 billion in revenue — a 20% increase from last year’s third quarter. The results show that operating and net income are growing at a double-digit rate. Its ability to generate cash from operations is also improving recently, jumping to $1.3 billion for the nine months ending on Sept. 30 compared with $1.01 billion a year ago.
The 16 analysts following WM stock have an average earnings estimate of $1.26 per share for the December 2021 quarter and $4.86 per share for the year.
FedEx (FDX)

E-commerce has been a major driving force behind the increased demand for FedEx services. It offers many other logistics-related products such as express mailings or international freight forwarding for those looking into making global shipments easier than ever before. FedEx delivered over 6.6 million packages daily to its customers in the last fiscal year.
This trend is only expected to continue as consumers further embrace online shopping. FedEx’s cash flow should remain high with the company in a good position to continue generating lots of it. The company has a competitive and consistently growth dividend. With its balance sheet strengthened by investing in new facilities or equipment for faster delivery times, the business can settle debt with increased profits from these projects as well.
7 of the Best Growth Stocks to Buy for 2022
With its strong cash flow, FedEx has the opportunity to invest in innovation. The shipping company is making a conscious effort to become more sustainable, which will ultimately help the business achieve its goal of being carbon neutral by 2040. FedEx is also working hard on autonomous vehicles and self-driving technology.
FDX stock is trading at a steep discount, meaning it is just the right time to acquire more. Zacks Research sees the shares as approaching value status, suggesting that FedEx stock could be “an interesting play” based on its forward PE of 12.2x, its price-to-sales ratio of 0.8, and its dividend yield of 1.2%.
Industrial Stocks to Buy: Nielsen Holdings (NLSN)

Nielsen Holdings provides data and analytics for the media industry. It offers services such as audience measurement, which publishers use in marketing their products or brands to consumers through ads on TV programs they watch each week.
Nielsen also tracks how much time these viewers spend with certain commercials versus others during programming breaks – giving companies valuable information about who’s getting attention from potential customers.
Nielsen wants to enhance its national television measurement system by measuring viewing more precisely. It is an exciting development. Marketers looking to get accurate data on their ads’ effectiveness now have that information at their fingertips. Additionally, it gives networks even greater insight into which programming decisions can improve ratings among audiences they serve.
It is a huge step for advertisers who want to get the most bang for their buck. No more guessing how well an ad will perform or its ROI. Now, we can clearly see. It will help companies from all walks of life, and industrial companies are no exception.
As the entertainment industry increasingly shifts to streaming, Nielsen has struggled for relevance. The new initiative will help NLSN stock get its mojo back and help you play industrial stocks in a curveball way.

Why Does the Earth Rotate?
The Earth is constantly spinning on its vertical axis.
••• Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Though we can't feel it, planet Earth is constantly spinning beneath our feet. The Earth rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the center of the planet, through the North and South poles. The axis is the Earth's center of gravity, around which it rotates. Though spinning at 1,000 miles per hour, the Earth takes 24 hours to make a complete rotation. Scientists continue to work towards an understanding of why the Earth spins and continues to rotate on its axis.
How Earth Began Its Rotation
Most scientists speculate that a shock wave from a supernova went through a cloud of cold hydrogen, forming a solar nebula. The momentum caused the nebula to spin into a planetary disk. When the solar system was being formed, it is likely that collisions of these clouds contributed to the tilt and rotation of the Earth as we know it today.
Why the Earth Keeps Spinning
The laws of physics state that an object that is in motion will remain so until an outside force acts upon the object. The Earth keeps spinning because there is nothing to stop it, as space is a vacuum. Not even earthquakes have been able to keep the earth from its rotation.
The Earth's Spin is Slowing
While it is unlikely that any outside force will act on the Earth to stop its spin, the rotation of the planet is slowing. This is caused by tidal friction created by the oceans' movement. Tidal friction is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. The result of tidal friction is that over the course of a century, the length of day can be extended by a few moments.
The Influence of the Earth's Spin
The axis that the Earth is situated on is not a vertical line, but is at a 23.5 degree tilt. This angle is what causes the different climates and seasons at varying times around the globe. In addition, human beings mark time by the Earth's rotation. One full spin encompasses the measure of a day.

Cochlin
Cochlin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COCH gene. It is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein highly abundant in the cochlea and vestibule of the inner ear, constituting the major non-collagen component of the ECM of the inner ear. The protein is highly conserved in human, mouse, and chicken, showing 94% and 79% amino acid identity of human to mouse and chicken sequences, respectively.
Structure
Cochlin contains three protein domains: an N-terminal LCCL domain, and two copies of Von Willebrand factor type A domains.
Function
The gene is expressed in spindle-shaped cells located along nerve fibers between the auditory ganglion and sensory epithelium. These cells accompany neurites at the habenula perforata, the opening through which neurites extend to innervate hair cells. This and the pattern of expression of this gene in chicken inner ear paralleled the histologic findings of acidophilic deposits, consistent with mucopolysaccharide ground substance, in temporal bones from DFNA9 (autosomal dominant nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness 9) patients. Mutations that cause DFNA9 have been reported in this gene.
Cochlin has been identified in the trabecular meshwork (TM) of glaucoma patients, but not in healthy controls. The TM is a filter like area of tissue in the eye; cochlin may have a role in cell adhesion, mechanosensation, and modulation of the TM filter.
It is also expressed in follicular dendritic cells in spleen and lymph nodes. Here, cochlin is cleaved by aggrecanases and secreted into blood circulation during inflammation, contributing to the antibacterial innate immune response.

COVID-19 Vaccine and Pregnancy
COVID-19, aka coronavirus disease, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has changed our lives in ways none of us imagined (except maybe some scientists and Bill Gates). While we are far from the resolution of this existential crisis, the introduction of the vaccines marks a major milestone in the effort to control the spread of the virus. As of this writing, Health Canada has approved two vaccines: Pfizer-BioNTech (approved on December 9), and Moderna (approved on December 23). Each requires two doses and will be made available for free to everyone living in Canada over the course of 2021. Due to the initial limitation of vaccine supply, high-risk groups have been identified for priority administration.
Both are messenger RNA (mRNA) based vaccines, a remarkable and fascinating approach to stimulating the body’s immune response, not only useful for fighting infectious disease but also promising for cancer treatment. mRNA vaccines can be produced and scaled far more rapidly than traditional vaccines. A detailed review of mRNA technology that predates the COVID-19 pandemic can be found here, but this is my extremely simplified version:
In contrast to traditional vaccines that introduce a portion of live or attenuated virus into your system, mRNA vaccines do not require any viral protein to be directly injected. Instead, the virus is reverse engineered, with the instructions for producing the target on the virus (specifically, the spike protein for SARS-CoV-2) coded into mRNA, which is then packaged into carrier molecules and delivered via intramuscular injection. The body’s cellular machinery translates the instructions from the mRNA to produce the spike protein, which is brought to the cell surface like a warning flag. Your immune system recognizes the spike protein as foreign and is now prepared to defend should an actual infection occur.
These vaccines have been found to be highly effective and safe in the population tested. However, as is the case with most pharmaceuticals, pregnant & lactating people were not included in these trials, nor were those who were specifically trying to conceive. The lack of evidence in these populations has led to confusion and uncertainty if those who are pregnant/trying to get pregnant should be receiving the COVID-19 vaccines.
The opinion from the UK states that pregnant individuals should not be vaccinated, and vaccination should be delayed for those trying to conceive. In contrast, the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists guideline “recommends that COVID-19 vaccines should not be withheld from pregnant individuals who meet criteria for vaccination.” This is aligned with the opinion from the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada which states that “the documented risk of not getting the COVID-19 vaccine outweighs the theorized and undescribed risk of being vaccinated during pregnancy or while breastfeeding and vaccination should be offered.”
For those trying to conceive, the SOGC statement, which was also endorsed by the Canadian Fertility & Andrology Society, states “It is not known whether an individual should delay pregnancy following receipt of the vaccine and a risk-benefit discussion for those planning pregnancy should occur similar to the discussion for pregnant and breastfeeding (individuals).” The American Society for Reproductive Medicine is more direct stating, “Patients undergoing fertility treatment and pregnant patients should be encouraged to receive vaccination based on eligibility criteria. Since the vaccine is not a live virus, there is no reason to delay pregnancy attempts because of vaccination administration or to defer treatment until the second dose has been administered.”
On balance, while it is true that we don’t have specific safety data about the COVID-19 vaccine and pregnancy, it is clear from phase 3 trials that the vaccine is very safe in general. The adverse effects of the vaccine appear to mostly comprise injection site reaction, fatigue, muscle pain, and fever.
In contrast, the risks of COVID-19 infection can be deadly. Contrary to our initial impressions from the earlier days of the pandemic, more recent evidence indicates that pregnant individuals may be more severely affected, requiring invasive ventilation, with risk factors including age > 35 associated with more serious complications. In other words, if a pregnant person does become ill with COVID-19, she has a greater risk of more complications than their non-pregnant counterparts. Even for those who recover, there appear to be risks of long-term complications, as seen in some ‘long-haulers’.
In the lack of definitive data, we can only make decisions based on the best evidence available. While the risks of the vaccine are theoretical, the dangers of the infection are real. If you are eligible for the currently approved COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, rest assured that expert opinions from both the Canadian and American reproductive specialty professional societies endorse their use during pregnancy. As always, talk to your health care professionals to determine what is right for you.

Metastatic Melanoma Treatment Options: What You Should Know
Metastatic melanoma is the least common form of skin cancer known today. As such, it may come as a surprise when you receive the diagnosis from your doctor. Because metastatic melanoma is a highly aggressive type of cancer, you will likely be rushed to meet with an oncologist and begin your treatment right away. Before you meet with your oncologist, you want to have an idea of what treatment options are available to you. This way, you go into your appointment well-informed and aware of what is to come. So, get to know the different treatments available to you for your metastatic melanoma and get started fighting your cancer as soon as possible.
Surgery
The primary defense against the early stages of metastatic melanoma is to surgically remove any tumors or masses on the body. Surgical removal of the cancer cells may in some cases completely eradicate the melanoma in your body.
Even in later stages, your oncologist may recommend that you have any large or particularly invasive tumors removed during initial treatment. So, be prepared for the likelihood you will be undergoing surgery in the near future.
Immunotherapy
One of the primary treatments used for metastatic melanoma is immunotherapy. While the term may be quite intimidating, immunotherapy simply refers to the medical process of stimulating your own immune system to fight off the cancer cells in your body.
This is accomplished through the use of one of two medications. High dose IL-2 (interleukin-2) is a drug that is administered intravenously several times a day for around five days, two times a month. Immunotherapy using IL-2 is an aggressive form of treatment and is often used to treat metastatic melanoma in its advanced stages. If it is effective, IL-2 can stop the spread and growth of tumors and may even cause the cancer cells to disappear completely.
The other immunotherapy medication often used to treat metastatic melanoma is Ipilimumab. This medication is only given once every few weeks and in fewer doses than IL-2. Ipilimumab is used to turn the immune system against cancer cells, but can also turn the immune system against otherwise healthy cells in the body as well. As such it must be used with care.
Other Treatment Options
In addition to these basic treatment options, your oncologist may also recommend standard, well-known cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy. These are often used in conjunction with surgery.
Radiation is used primarily if your metastatic melanoma has spread to the brain or possibly in the bones. However, it is not a primary treatment in most cases of metastatic melanoma.
Targeted therapies are also quite common in treating metastatic melanoma and function similarly to immunotherapy. The idea is to block the production of specific proteins in the body that stimulate the growth and spread of cancer cells. In may cases, two or more treatments are combined, such as immunotherapy; targeted treatments; and surgery, to aggressively fight off the spread of your metastatic melanoma.
Now that you know the common treatment options available to you for your metastatic melanoma, you can schedule that appointment with a clinic like Allergy & Asthma Clinic of Wyoming LLC and get to work fighting back against your cancer.

I would like to streamline the export.
My idea is: Extend selection/carrot, out in both directions to #. Which then I can export selection. Taking in the date and all entries hashtag to hashtag.
Can you help Cheers
Your example looks a little strange, but assuming I understand correctly, the action below I think will do what you want and deal with a couple of edge cases too.
The action is a single script step and is based on using Drafts’ standard navigation marker definitions (headings in Markdown for example, which I think is what you want), and then shares it. There are lots of examples around Fantastical, and I’m not sure what you are doing exactly to “I export the days entries into calendar every evening using Fantastical”, but hopefully this will be a good starting point for you if nothing else.
//Initialise
let intSelectionStart = editor.getSelectedRange()[0];
let intStart = 0;
let intLength = editor.getText().length;
//If we are after the first heading, set the start
if (editor.navigationMarkerBefore(intSelectionStart) != undefined) intStart = editor.navigationMarkerBefore(intSelectionStart).location;
//If we are after the last heading, respecify the base length before calculation
if (editor.navigationMarkerAfter(intSelectionStart) != undefined) intLength = editor.navigationMarkerAfter(intSelectionStart).location;
intLength = intLength - intStart;
//Share the text in the specifed range
Share.shareAsText(editor.getTextInRange(intStart, intLength));

Abstract
[Abstract]: Strokes are a very commonly occuring medical event. In Australia alone around 53,000 people suffer from a stroke each year. A stroke occurs when the normal blood flow to the brain is interrupted causing sections of the brain located around the affected areas to become starved of oxygen and nutrients. The damage caused to the brain during a stroke can leave the affected person with different types of mental and physical disabilities. It is currently known that the physical disbalilities that can result after a stroke can be overcome by the use of physical therapy allowing a stroke victim to continue a normal life. The aim of this project was to design and build a computer based system that could assess and exercise the upper extremities of stroke patients. A literature review revealed that the most successful outcome that has been seen with experimental physical rehabilitation is to combine constraint induced therapy with robot-aided neuro-rehabilitation. The system that was designed over the course of this project operated within a two dimensional field, therfore only two degrees of freedom were required. The movements of this two link system were measured and logged with the use of two precision potentiometers, one located in each rotational joint. This allows all movements made by the patient to be later recalled to assess progress the patient has made. Improvements would be determined by comparing the path the patient has taken compared to the optimum path between targets. Overall the system had very high precision and was able to obtain the required work area for sufficient exercise to be completed. The GUI developed in coordination with the stroke technology is simple to use and bug free. The GUI was designed to be very adaptable to the requirements for any user by adding as many functions as possible while still remaining simple. The future work required on this system would include further researching the tracking technology and possibly incorporating a more accurate potentiometer. The system currently offers passive exercise, the addition of other technolgies (e.g. DC motors) has still yet to be introduced to allow active movement. Suggestions of possible technologies and designs to incorporate this function are discussed throughout this dissertation. The GUI software should be further developed to allow automatic improvement calculations to be performed, and displayed in a user friendly manner e.g. percentage of improvement.

The Functions of Deep Learning
By Gilbert Strang
Suppose we draw one of the digits \(0, 1,\ldots,9\). How does a human recognize which digit it is? That neuroscience question is not answered here. How can a computer recognize which digit it is? This is a machine learning question. Both answers probably begin with the same idea: learn from examples.
So we start with \(M\) different images (the training set). An image is a set of \(p\) small pixels — or a vector \(v=(v_1,\ldots,v_p)\). The component \(v_i\) tells us the “grayscale” of the \(i\)th pixel in the image: how dark or light it is. We now have \(M\) images, each with \(p\) features: \(M\) vectors \(v\) in \(p\)-dimensional space. For every \(v\) in that training set, we know the digit it represents.
In a way, we know a function. We have \(M\) inputs in \(\textbf{R}^p\), each with an output from \(0\) to \(9\). But we don’t have a “rule.” We are helpless with a new input. Machine learning proposes to create a rule that succeeds on (most of) the training images. But “succeed” means much more than that: the rule should give the correct digit for a much wider set of test images taken from the same population. This essential requirement is called generalization.
What form shall the rule take? Here we meet the fundamental question. Our first answer might be: \(F(v)\) could be a linear function from \(\textbf{R}^p\) to \(\textbf{R}^{10}\) (a \(10\) by \(p\) matrix). The \(10\) outputs would be probabilities of the numbers \(0\) to \(9\). We would have \(10p\) entries and \(M\) training samples to get mostly right.
The difficulty is that linearity is far too limited. Artistically, two \(0\)s could make an \(8\). \(1\) and \(0\) could combine into a handwritten \(9\) or possibly a \(6\). Images don’t add. Recognizing faces instead of numbers requires a great many pixels — and the input-output rule is nowhere near linear.
Artificial intelligence languished for a generation, waiting for new ideas. There is no claim that the absolute best class of functions has now been found. That class needs to allow a great many parameters (called weights). And it must remain feasible to compute all those weights (in a reasonable time) from knowledge of the training set.
The choice that has succeeded beyond expectation—and transformed shallow learning into deep learning—is continuous piecewise linear (CPL) functions. Linear for simplicity, continuous to model an unknown but reasonable rule, and piecewise to achieve the nonlinearity that is an absolute requirement for real images and data.
This leaves the crucial question of computability. What parameters will quickly describe a large family of CPL functions? Linear finite elements start with a triangular mesh. But specifying many individual nodes in \(\textbf{R}^p\) is expensive. It would be better if those nodes are the intersections of a smaller number of lines (or hyperplanes). Please note that a regular grid is too simple.
Figure 1 is a first construction of a piecewise linear function of the data vector \(v\). Choose a matrix \(A\) and vector \(b\). Then set to \(0\) (this is the nonlinear step) all negative components of \(Av+b\). Then multiply by a matrix \(C\) to produce the output \(w=F(v)=C(Av+b)_+\). That vector \((Av+b)_+\) forms a "hidden layer" between the input \(v\) and the output \(w\).
Figure 1. Neural net construction of a piecewise linear function of the data vector v.
The nonlinear function called \(\textrm{ReLU}(x)=x_+=\textrm{max}(x,0)\) was originally smoothed into a logistic curve like \(1/(1+e^{-x})\). It was reasonable to think that continuous derivatives would help in optimizing the weights \(A\), \(b\), \(C\). That proved to be wrong.
The graph of each component of \((Av+b)_+\) has two half-planes (one is flat, from the \(0\)s where \(Av+b\) s negative). If \(A\) is \(q\) by \(p\), the input space \(\textbf{R}^p\) is sliced by \(q\) hyperplanes into \(r\) pieces. We can count those pieces! This measures the “expressivity” of the overall function \(F(v)\). The formula from combinatorics is
\[ r(q, p)=\left(\begin{array}{@{\;}c@{\;}}q\\0\\\end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{@{\;}c@{\;}}q\\1\\\end{array}\right)+\cdots+\left(\begin{array}{@{\;}c@{\;}}q\\p\\\end{array}\right).\]
This number gives an impression of the graph of \(F\). But our function is not yet sufficiently expressive, and one more idea is needed.
Here is the indispensable ingredient in the learning function \(F\). The best way to create complex functions from simple functions is by composition. Each \(F_i\) is linear (or affine), followed by the nonlinear \(\textrm{ReLU}\,:\; F_i(v)=(A_iv+b_i)_+\). Their composition is \(F(v)=F_L(F_{L-1}(\ldots F_2(F_1(v))))\). We now have \(L-1\) hidden layers before the final output layer. The network becomes deeper as \(L\) increases. That depth can grow quickly for convolutional nets (with banded Toeplitz matrices \(A\)).
The great optimization problem of deep learning is to compute weights \(A_i\) and \(b_i\) that will make the outputs \(F(v)\) nearly correct — close to the digit \(w(v)\) that the image \(v\) represents. This problem of minimizing some measure of \(F(v)-w(v)\) is solved by following a gradient downhill. The gradient of this complicated function is computed by backpropagation: the workhorse of deep learning that executes the chain rule.
A historic competition in 2012 was to identify the 1.2 million images collected in ImageNet. The breakthrough neural network in AlexNet had 60 million weights in eight layers. Its accuracy (after five days of stochastic gradient descent) cut in half the next best error rate. Deep learning had arrived.
Our goal here was to identify continuous piecewise linear functions as powerful approximators. That family is also convenient — closed under addition and maximization and composition. The magic is that the learning function \(F(A_i, b_i,v)\) gives accurate results on images \(v\) that \(F\) has never seen.
This article is published with very light edits.

Religious abuse
Religious abuse is abuse administered through religion, including harassment or humiliation that may result in psychological trauma. Religious abuse may also include the misuse of religion for selfish, secular, or ideological ends, such as the abuse of a clerical position.
Religious abuse can be perpetuated by religious leaders or other members of a religious community, and it can happen in any religion or faith. Some examples of religious abuse include using religious teachings to justify abuse, enforcing strict religious rules and practices that are harmful, shaming or ostracizing individuals who do not conform to religious norms, using religious authority to manipulate or control others, and denying access to medical care or other basic needs in the name of religion.
Religious abuse can have serious and long-lasting effects on individuals and communities, including trauma, emotional distress, loss of faith, and even physical harm. It is important for individuals and religious communities to be aware of the signs of religious abuse and to take steps to prevent it from happening.
Psychological abuse
One specific meaning of the term religious abuse refers to psychological manipulation and harm inflicted on a person by using the teachings of their religion. This is perpetrated by members of the same or similar faith that includes the use of a position of authority within the religion. It is most often directed at children and emotionally vulnerable adults, and the motivations behind such abuse vary, and can be either well-intentioned or malicious.
Even well-intentioned religious abuse can have long-term psychological consequences, such as the victim developing phobias or long-term depression. They may have a sense of shame that persists even after they leave the religion. A person can also be manipulated into avoiding a beneficial action (such as a medical treatment) or to engage in a harmful behavior.
In his book Religious Abuse, pastor Keith Wright describes an example of such abuse. When he was a child, his Christian Scientist mother became very ill and eventually was convinced to seek medical treatment at an inpatient facility. Members of her church went to the treatment center to convince her to trust prayer rather than treatment, and to leave. She died shortly thereafter. While the church members may not have had any malicious intent, their use of their religion's teachings to manipulate Wright's mother ultimately resulted in her death.
A more recent study among 200 university students has shown that 12.5% of students reported being victimized by at least one form of religious or ritual abuse (RA). The study, which was published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, showed that religious/ritual abuse may result in mental health issues such as dissociative disorders.
Against children
Religiously-based psychological abuse of children can involve using teachings to subjugate children through fear, or indoctrinating the child in the beliefs of their particular religion whilst suppressing other perspectives. Psychologist Jill Mytton describes this as crushing the child's chance to form a personal morality and belief system; it makes them utterly reliant on their religion or parents, and they never learn to reflect critically on the information they receive. Similarly, the use of fear and a judgmental environment (such as the concept of Hell) to control the child can be traumatic.
Physical abuse
Physical abuse in a religious context can take the form of beatings, illegal confinement, neglect, near drowning or even murder in the belief that the child is possessed by evil spirits, practicing sorcery or witchcraft, or has committed some kind of sin that warrants punishment. Such extreme cases are, though, rare.
In 2012, the United Kingdom's Department for Children, Schools and Families instituted a new action plan to investigate the issue of faith-based abuse after several high-profile murders, such as that of Kristy Bamu. Over a term of 10 years, Scotland Yard conducted 83 investigations into allegations of abuse with faith-based elements and feared there were even more that were unreported.
Survivors
Survivors of religious abuse can develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to their abusive religious experiences. Dr. Marlene Winell, a psychologist and former fundamentalist, coined the term religious trauma syndrome (RTS) in a 2011 article she wrote for the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. Winell describes RTS as "the condition experienced by people who are struggling with leaving an authoritarian, dogmatic religion and coping with the damage of indoctrination."
In the article, Winell identifies four categories of dysfunction: cognitive, affective, functional, and social/cultural.
* Cognitive: Confusion, difficulty with decision-making and critical thinking, dissociation, identity confusion
* Affective: Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, suicidal ideation, anger, grief, guilt, loneliness, lack of meaning
* Functional: Sleep and eating disorders, nightmares, sexual dysfunction, substance abuse, somatization
* Social/cultural: Rupture of family and social network, employment issues, financial stress, problems acculturating into society, interpersonal dysfunction
These symptoms can occur for people who have simply participated in dogmatic expressions of religion, such as fundamentalism. It is easy to validate traumatic responses to religious abuse in more extreme cases such as authoritarian cult membership, clergy sexual abuse, or mind control tactics used to extremes like the mass suicide at Jonestown. However, individuals can experience chronic religious abuse in the subtle mind-control mechanics of fundamentalism that leads to trauma. While many extreme traumatic experiences associated with religion can cause simple PTSD, scholars are now arguing that chronic abuse through mind control tactics used in fundamentalist settings, whether intentional or not, can induce C-PTSD or developmental trauma.
Exposure therapy or staying in religiously abusive settings may not be conducive to healing for survivors of religious abuse. Healing can come through support groups, therapy, and psychoeducation. Survivors have many opportunities to recover and live vibrant lives after they leave religiously abusive settings.
Religious violence
Religious violence and extremism (also called communal violence ) is a term that covers all phenomena where religion is either the subject or object of violent behavior.
Human sacrifice
Human sacrifice (sometimes called ritual murder), has been practiced on a number of different occasions and in many different cultures. The various rationales behind human sacrifice are the same that motivate religious sacrifice in general. Human sacrifice is typically intended to bring good fortune and to pacify the gods. Fertility was another common theme in ancient religious sacrifices.
Human sacrifice may be a ritual practiced in a stable society, and may even be conducive to enhance societal unity (see: Sociology of religion), both by creating a bond unifying the sacrificing community, and in combining human sacrifice and capital punishment, by removing individuals that have a negative effect on societal stability (criminals, religious heretics, foreign slaves or prisoners of war). However, outside of civil religion, human sacrifice may also result in outbursts of blood frenzy and mass killings that destabilize society.
Archaeology has uncovered physical evidence of child sacrifice at several locations. Some of the best attested examples are the diverse rites which were part of the religious practices in Mesoamerica and the Inca Empire. Psychologists Alice Miller and Robert Godwin, psychohistorian Lloyd deMause and other advocates of children's rights have written about pre-Columbian sacrifice within the framework of child abuse.
Plutarch (c.46–120 AD) mentions the Carthaginian's ritual burning of small children, as do Tertullian, Orosius, Diodorus Siculus and Philo. Livy and Polybius do not. The Hebrew Bible also mentions what appears to be child sacrifice practised at a place called the Tophet (roasting place) by the Canaanites, and by some Israelites.
Children were thrown to the sharks in ancient Hawaii.
Sacrificial victims were often infants. "The slaughtering of newborn babies may be considered a common event in many cultures" including the Eskimo, the Polynesians, the Ancient Egyptians, the Chinese, the Scandinavians, and various indigenous peoples of Africa, the Americas and Australia.
Initiation rites
Artificial deformation of the skull predates written history and dates back as far as 45,000 BCE, as evidenced by two Neanderthal skulls found in Shanidar Cave. It was usually started just after birth and continued until the desired shape was achieved. It may have played a key role in Egyptian and Mayan societies.
In China some boys were castrated, with both the penis and scrotum cut. Other ritual actions have been described by anthropologists. Géza Róheim wrote about initiation rituals performed by Australian natives in which adolescent initiates were forced to drink blood.
Modern practices
In the rituals of some tribes in Papua New Guinea, an elder "picks out a sharp stick of cane and sticks it deep inside a boy's nostrils until he bleeds profusely into the stream of a pool, an act greeted by loud war cries." Afterwards, when boys are initiated into puberty and manhood, they are expected to perform fellatio on the elders. "Not all initiates will participate in this ceremonial homosexual activity but, about five days later, several will have to perform fellatio several times."
Individual cases of ritual murder have been recorded in Brazil, the United States, and Singapore (See Toa Payoh ritual murders).
See also List of satanic ritual abuse allegations
Witch-hunts
To this day, witch hunts, trials and accusations are still a real danger in some parts of the world. Trials result in violence against men, women and children, including murder. In The Gambia, about 1,000 people accused of being witches were locked in government detention centers in March 2009, being beaten, forced to drink an unknown hallucinogenic potion, and confess to witchcraft, according to Amnesty International. In Tanzania thousands of elderly Tanzanian women have been strangled, knifed to death and burned alive over the last two decades after being denounced as witches. Ritualistic abuse may also involve children accused of, and punished for, being purported witches in some Central African areas. A child may be blamed for the illness of a relative, for example. Other examples include Ghana, where alleged witches were banished to refugee camps, and the beating and isolation of children accused of being witches in Angola.
Psychohistorical explanation
A small number of academics subscribe to the theory of psychohistory and attribute the abusive rituals to the psychopathological projection of the perpetrators, especially the parents.
This psychohistorical model claims that practices of tribal societies sometimes included incest and the sacrifice, mutilation, rape and torture of children, and that such activities were culturally acceptable.
Spiritual abuse
Spiritual abuse includes:
* Psychological abuse and emotional abuse
* Physical abuse including physical injury (e.g., tatbir) and deprivation of sustenance.
* Sexual abuse
* Any act by deeds or words that shame or diminish the dignity of a person.
* Intimidation and the requirement to submit to a spiritual authority without any right to dissent.
* Unreasonable control of a person's basic right to exercise freewill in spiritual or natural matters.
* False accusations and repeated criticism by labeling a person as, for example, disobedient, rebellious, lacking faith, demonized, apostate, an enemy of the church or of a deity.
* Isolationism, separation, disenfranchisement or estrangement from family and friends outside the group due to cult-religious or spiritual or indigenous beliefs.
* Esotericism, hidden agendas and requirements revealed to members only as they successfully advance through various stages of a faith.
* Enforced practice of spiritualism, mysticism, or other ideologies peculiar to members of that religion.
* Financial exploitation or enslavement of adherents.
Background
The term spiritual abuse was purportedly coined in the late twentieth century to refer to alleged abuse of authority by church leaders, albeit some scholars and historians would dispute that claim, citing prior literary appearances of the term in literature on religion and psychology. Lambert defines spiritual abuse as "a type of psychological predomination that could be rightly termed—religious enslavement". He further identifies "religious enslavement" as being a product of what is termed in the Bible "witchcraft" or "sorcery". A key element of the experience of spiritual abuse is the perceived 'divine position' of the abuser, in which the 'divine positioning' of the abuser leads to an environment of infallibility.
Characteristics
Ronald Enroth in Churches That Abuse identifies five categories:
* 1) Authority and power: abuse arises when leaders of a group arrogate to themselves power and authority that lacks the dynamics of open accountability and the capacity to question or challenge decisions made by leaders. The shift entails moving from general respect for an office bearer to one where members loyally submit without any right to dissent.
* 2) Manipulation and control: abusive groups are characterized by social dynamics where fear, guilt or threats are routinely used to produce unquestioning obedience, group conformity or stringent tests of loyalty. The leader-disciple relationship may become one in which the leader's decisions control and usurp the disciple's right or capacity to make choices.
* 3) Elitism and persecution: abusive groups depict themselves as unique and have a strong organizational tendency to be separate from other bodies and institutions. The social dynamism of the group involves being independent or separate, with diminishing possibilities for internal correction or reflection, whilst outside criticism.
* 4) Life-style and experience: abusive groups foster rigidity in behavior and belief that requires conformity to the group's ideals.
* 5) Dissent and discipline: abusive groups tend to suppress any kind of internal challenge to decisions made by leaders.
Agnes and John Lawless argue in The Drift into Deception that there are eight characteristics of spiritual abuse, and some of these clearly overlap with Enroth's criteria. They list the eight marks of spiritual abuse as comprising:
* 1) Charisma and pride
* 2) Anger and intimidation
* 3) Greed and fraud
* 4) Immorality
* 5) Enslaving authoritarian structure
* 6) Exclusivity
* 7) Demanding loyalty and honor
* 8) New revelation
The author of Charismatic Captivation, Steven Lambert, in a post on the book's website delineates "33 Signs of Spiritual Abuse", including:
* 1) Apotheosis or de facto deification of the leadership.
* 2) Absolute authority of the leadership.
* 3) Pervasive abuse and misuse of authority in personal dealings with members to coerce submission.
* 4) Paranoia, inordinate egotism or narcissism, and insecurity by the leaders.
* 5) Abuse and inordinate incidence of "church discipline" particularly in matters not expressly considered to be church discipline issues.
* 6) Inordinate attention to maintaining the public image of the ministry and lambasting of all "critics".
* 7) Constant indoctrination with a "group" or "family" mentality that impels members to exalt the corporate "life" and goals of the church-group over their personal goals, callings, objectives or relationships.
* 8) Members are psychologically traumatized, terrorized and indoctrinated with numerous fears aimed at creating an over-dependence or codependence on their leaders and the corporate group.
* 9) Members may be required to obtain the approval (or witness) of their leader(s) for decisions regarding personal matters.
* 10) Frequent preaching from the pulpit discouraging leaving the religion or disobeying the leaderships' dictates.
* 11) Members departing without the blessing of the leadership do so under a cloud of suspicion, shame, or slander.
* 12) Departing members often suffer from psychological problems and display the symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Research and examples
Flavil Yeakley's team of researchers conducted field-tests with members of the Boston Church of Christ using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. In The Discipling Dilemma Yeakley reports that the members tested "showed a high level of change in psychological type scores", with a "clear pattern of convergence in a single type". The same tests were conducted on five mainline denominations and with six groups that are popularly labeled as cults or manipulative sects. Yeakley's test results showed that the pattern in the Boston Church "was not found among other churches of Christ or among members of five mainline denominations, but that it was found in studies of six manipulative sects." The research did not show that the Boston Church was "attracting people with a psychological need for high levels of control", but Yeakley concluded that "they are producing conformity in psychological type" which he deemed to be "unnatural, unhealthy and dangerous."
This was not a longitudinal study and relied on asking participants to answer the survey three times; once as they imagined they might answer five years prior, once as their present selves and once as they imagined they might answer after five years of influence in the sect. The author insists that despite this, "any significant changes in the pattern of these perceptions would indicate some kind of group pressure. A high degree of change and a convergence in a single type would be convincing proof that the Boston Church of Christ has some kind of group dynamic operating that tends to produce conformity to the group norm." However it could instead indicate a desire on the part of the respondents to change in the direction indicated. To determine actual changes in MBTI results would require a longitudinal study, since the methodology here was inherently suggestive of its conclusion. This is also amply borne out in its instructions: "The instructions stated clearly that no one was telling them that their answers ought to change. The instructions said that the purpose of the study was simply to find out if there were any changes and, if so, what those changes might indicate."

FFmpeg cheat sheet
A list of useful commands for the ffmpeg command line tool.
Download FFmpeg: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html
Full documentation: https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
Basic conversion
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 out.avi
Remux an MKV file into MP4
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mp4
High-quality encoding
Use the crf (Constant Rate Factor) parameter to control the output quality. The lower crf, the higher the quality (range: 0-51). The default value is 23, and visually lossless compression corresponds to -crf 18. Use the preset parameter to control the speed of the compression process. Additional info: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -preset slower -crf 18 out.mp4
Trimming
Without re-encoding:
ffmpeg -ss [start] -i in.mp4 -t [duration] -c copy out.mp4
• -ss specifies the start time, e.g. 00:01:23.000 or 83 (in seconds)
• -t specifies the duration of the clip (same format).
• Recent ffmpeg also has a flag to supply the end time with -to.
• -c copy copies the first video, audio, and subtitle bitstream from the input to the output file without re-encoding them. This won't harm the quality and make the command run within seconds.
With re-encoding:
If you leave out the -c copy option, ffmpeg will automatically re-encode the output video and audio according to the format you chose. For high quality video and audio, read the x264 Encoding Guide and the AAC Encoding Guide , respectively.
For example:
ffmpeg -ss [start] -i in.mp4 -t [duration] -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -strict
experimental -b:a 128k out.mp4
Mux video and audio from another video
To copy the video from in0.mp4 and audio from in1.mp4:
ffmpeg -i in0.mp4 -i in1.mp4 -c copy -map 0:0 -map 1:1 -shortest out.mp4
Concat demuxer
First, make a text file.
file 'in1.mp4'
file 'in2.mp4'
file 'in3.mp4'
file 'in4.mp4'
Then, run ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -f concat -i list.txt -c copy out.mp4
Delay audio/video
Delay video by 3.84 seconds:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -itsoffset 3.84 -i in.mp4 -map 1:v -map 0:a -vcodec copy

Rh control, should be the ostensible depository of power; and that the Council of India, whatever powers of advice or interpellation it might enjoy, should be shown to be clearly subordinate to him. This was, to so large an extent, the state of the existing relations of the Directors to the President of the Board of Control that the change, though imposing in appearance, was less important than it seemed.
In October Lord Canning received the Proclamation, which announced to the people of India the transfer of the government from the Company to the Queen. By the same mail he learnt that Her Majesty had appointed him her first Viceroy. His letter to the Queen, acknowledging his new dignity, breathed a tone well befitting a great occasion and the serious responsibilities which it entailed. 'It is,' he wrote, 'Lord Canning's earnest hope and prayer that, so long as this high function shall be in his trust, it may be administered in a spirit not unworthy of your Majesty, and that, when he shall deliver it again into your Majesty's hands, it may be found to be without spot or stain from any act or word of his.'
The Royal Proclamation, translated into the many languages and dialects in use throughout the wide territorial confines of the Empire, was read with the proper ceremonial splendour in all the great centres of population and at every civil and military station in India on the 1st November, 1858. The Proclamation possesses an especial interest for Englishmen from the circumstance that its present form is, in some measure,

Villa Armira
Villa Armira (Вила “Армира”), meaning "Reinforced Villa", is a 1st-century suburban Roman villa in southeastern Bulgaria, located in the proximity of Ivaylovgrad, Haskovo Province. Discovered in 1964 during reservoir construction, it is a primary historical attraction to the Ivaylovgrad area. It is classified as a monument of culture of national importance.
Villa Armira lies some 4 km southwest of Ivaylovgrad. It was named after the Armira River, a minor tributary of the Arda. It is a sumptuous palace villa and one of the largest and most richly decorated Ancient Roman villas excavated in Bulgaria.
History
The villa dates to the second half of the 1st century AD and originally belonged to a noble of Roman Thrace who is thought to have been the governor of the surrounding area.
It is thought to have been destroyed in the late 4th century, possibly by the Goths some time around the Battle of Adrianople of 378. According to some scholars, Armira might be the Villa in which the emperor Valens, wounded in the battle, had sought refuge.
Features
Villa Armira features many examples of the Roman tradition in designing and organizing Villas.
Architecture of the Villa
Villa Armira is composed of two floors, and it contains the typical rooms that other Roman Villas would have. The two-storey U-shaped villa spreads over 3600 m2 amidst a garden, with an impluvium in the middle. Villa Armira had 22 separate rooms on the ground floor alone in addition to a panoramic terrace. It was expanded eastward in the 3rd century AD with a triclinium and a hypocaust. A part of the villa also includes an underfloor heating system, built for heating the inside of the building's rooms.
Decorations
The walls of the entire ground floor were covered in elaborately decorated white marble. The villa's complex floor mosaics display geometric designs and depictions of animals and plants. It is thought that masters of sculptures from the city Aphrodisias, a city that was known for its school of sculpture and skillful craftsmen, were sent to work there. The mosaics in the master's chamber depict the 2nd century AD owner with his two children: these are the only Roman-era mosaic portraits to be discovered in Bulgaria. A common theme in the villa's decoration is the gorgon Medusa.
Today the 2nd-century mosaic portraits of the owner and his children can be seen in the National Historical Museum in Sofia, the ceramic finds are exhibited in the National Archaeological Museum, while copies of the marble decoration are part of the Kardzhali Regional Historical Museum's fund.
The villa itself, with many of the floor mosaics intact, underwent Phare-funded reconstruction and anastylosis and was opened for visitors in 2008.

Working with Block Types
Types serve to express the purpose of each block. Each type is a set of properies that will be applied to each individual block that uses this or that type.
From this article you will learn how to use predefined types, style them and create custom ones.
Built-in Style Types
By default a block has a simple rectangular shape with no styling:
There are two stylistic types:
• "text" - it is used to render a plain text with a transparent background
• "org" - it is used to render organization chart blocks
• "default" - default template.
Related sample: Diagram: Built-in Style Types
Built-in SVG Types
On the picture below you can find the set of predefined SVG shapes (types).
Related sample: Diagram: Built-in Shapes
Setting Types for Blocks
You can set a stylistic or an SVG type (shape) for each block individually or define them globally for all the blocks at once. To define types individually, you need to add the type field to the corresponding block object and set the ID of the desired type as its value.
view: "diagram",
data: [
{
id: "start",
value: "start",
x: 0,
y: 80,
type: "disk", },
// other blocks
]
In case your project requires all blocks to be of the same type, you can define it globally via the item property:
webix.ui({
view: "diagram",
data: [/* item blocks */],
item: {
// all blocks will have the heptagon type
type: "heptagon" }
});
Styling Blocks via Properties
There are 2 ways to style blocks both SVG-based and default ones:
1. Inside block data objects
2. Inside the shapes array
Here you can apply the following properties:
Text styles
• fontColor (string) - color of the inner text (color name or HEX value). "#475466" by default
• fontSize (number) - size of the inner text font in pixels. 14 by default
• fontWeight (number) - weight (boldness) of the font. 400 by default
• fontStyle (string) - font style. Possible values are:
• "normal" - default. Regular face of the family
• "italic" - cursive font
• "oblique" - a sloped version of the normal face of the font.
• textAlign (string) - inner text alignment. "left", "center" (by default), "right"
• textVAlign (string) - inner text vertical alignment. "top", "middle" (by default), "bottom"
SVG styles
• angle (string, number) - angle of the shape rotation. The rotation origin is center
• fillOpacity (string, number) - opacity of the fill color inside the shape. Ranges from 0.0 to 1 or percentage from "0%" to "100%"
• lineWidth (number) - width of the shape outline
• lineColor (string) - color of the shape outline. "#ccd7e6" be default
• lineStyle (string, number) - stroke-dasharray for outline. Possible values are
• "dotted"
• "dashed"
• numeric value. The higher value is, the more space is in between dashes.
• backgroundColor (string) - background color (color name or HEX value). "#f4f5f9" by default
• altBackgroudColor (string) - alternative background. "#ccd7e6" by default. The property is only applicable to the "dots" type and custom shapes.
Styling inside block objects
You can style blocks that use SVG-based types directly within the data items:
webix.ui({
view: "diagram",
data: [
{
id: "process",
backgroundColor:"#F67B72",
lineColor:"#F67B72",
fontColor:"#fff"
},
// other blocks
],
});
Styling inside the shapes array
You can provide the defaults settings for each SVG-based type in the shapes configuration array.
The shapes property takes an array of type objects, so you can provide the defaults for several SVG-based types at once.
view:"diagram",
shapes: [
// customize styles for the action shape
{
id: "process",
backgroundColor:"#F67B72",
fontColor: "magenta"
},
// other shapes
]
Now all the blocks that use the "action" type will have the defined background and font colors, unless they have these colors of their own.
Changing Styling Dynamically
You can also use the setShape method to provide defaults for a particular SVG-based type.
$$("diagram1").setShape("dot", {
lineColor: "#2d9bf0"
});
Related sample: Diagram: Shape Styling
Now all the blocks that use a "dot" type will have the defined line color, unless they have a line color of their own.
Styling Blocks Using CSS
You can style blocks globally or individually. To style them all the same way, define the item object inside the Diagram constructor and set CSS class name as a value for the css field:
{
view: "diagram",
data: [/* blocks data */],
item: {
css: "common_blocks"
}
}
Styling block shapes and text
When styling blocks and their content (shape and text) you need to define a custom class for that block via the $css field in its data object:
{
id: 1,
// can be any class name
$css: "my_css"
}
Below we cover how to access and style block shape and text.
Styling shapes
You can think of a block item as of a container with a shape and text inside. So to style the inner shape of a default stylistic block you need to add a CSS rule depending on a shape template. Block shape possesses its own CSS class, that you can access:
<!-- css classes for the "default" block-->
<div class="webix_diagram_shape webix_diagram_shape_default"></div>
<!-- css classes for the "org" block-->
<div class="webix_diagram_shape webix_diagram_shape_org"></div>
CSS rules for the "org" shape would look like the following:
.my_css .webix_diagram_shape_org { border-color: orange; }
SVG-based shapes are styled the same way, however you you need to refer to the SVG element itself (not a CSS class):
.my_css svg { stroke: orange; }
Related sample: Diagram: Built-in Block Styles
Styling block text
The block text is rendered above the shape element and has the "webix_diagram_text" CSS class. So to style the block text you need to refer to this class as follows:
.my_css .webix_diagram_text {
font-weight: 500;
background: transparent !important;
}
Related sample: Diagram: Decision Tree
Adding Custom Shapes
Diagram allows you to create and utilize custom SVG shape (type) to meet your needs.
You can provide custom shapes in the shapes array in the configuration:
{
view: "diagram",
shapes: [
{
id: "internet",
// used for tooltips in Diagram editor
name: "Network",
// used to group shapes in Diagram editor
group: "device",
template: '<svg width="60" height="60" viewBox="0 0 60 60">...</svg>',
lineColor: "98E4ED",
backgroundColor:"#fff",
altBackgroundColor:"#98E4ED",
textVAlign:"bottom"
},
// other custom and predefined shapes
]
}
Or via by the addShape method:
$$("diagram").addShape("internet", {
template: '<svg width="60" height="60" viewBox="0 0 60 60">...</svg>',
name: "Network",
group: "device",
lineColor: "98E4ED",
backgroundColor:"#fff",
altBackgroundColor:"#98E4ED",
textVAlign:"bottom"
});
Related sample: Diagram: Custom Shapes
Note that for custom shapes, you need to specify the following fields:
• id (string) - shape id, if defined via the shapes property
• name (string) - shape name. It is displayed in the tooltip when the correspodning shape is hovered over in the Diagram Editor
• group (string) - name of the group in the Diagram Editor the shape belongs to.
• You can add shapes to one of the default groups:"block", "flow" and "common"
• Shapes that come without the group property will be automatically added to "extra" group
• If a custom name is provided, the Editor will create a group with this name
If you are adding an SVG with the path elements that need to be filled via altBackgroundColor, the elements must have the webix_diagram_shape_alt class.
<svg width="60" height="60" viewBox="0 0 60 60" fill="none" >
<rect width="60" height="60" />
<path class="webix_diagram_shape_alt" .../> </svg>`
Also make sure the shape ID is unique and does not coincide with any shape IDs from the predefined set. Otherwise the built-in shape will be overwritten with a custom one.
Accessing Shape Storage
You can get a data object of a particular shape. For that call the getShape method on the diagram passing the shape ID as a parameter. The method returns a configuration object of the specified shape.
$$("diagram1").getShape("plus");
/*
{
id: "plus",
name: "Plus",
svg: "...svgCode"
}
*/

Harvesting the fruit of the human mtDNA tree

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract
Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) studies have entered a new phase since the blossoming of complete genome analyses. Sequencing complete mtDNAs is more expensive and more labour intensive than restriction analysis or simply sequencing the control region of the molecule. But the efforts are paying off, as the phylogenetic resolution of the mtDNA tree has been greatly improved, and, in turn, phylogeographic interpretations can be given correspondingly greater precision in terms of the timing and direction of human dispersals. Therefore, despite mtDNA being only a fraction of our total genome, the deciphering of its evolution is profoundly changing our perception about how modern humans spread across our planet. Here we illustrate the phylogeographic approach with two case studies: the initial dispersal out of Africa, and the colonization of Europe.

Icahn to Boost Stake in Retailer - latimes
NEW YORK Billionaire investor Carl Icahn plans to increase his stake in Federated Department Stores Inc. and will meet with the retailer to talk about ways to enhance value at the owner of Macy's and Bloomingdale's, he said Wednesday. We intend to meet with them over the next week and discuss some ideas we have to enhance value, said Icahn, who is known for pressuring management to improve performance in companies he holds. It's as simple as that. This is pretty friendly. Icahn declined to elaborate on his proposals for Federated, except to say that the company had great real estate values and that it was undervalued. The announcement comes after Federated disclosed earlier in the day that Icahn would file for clearance to acquire $113.4 million to $500 million of additional shares of the retailer. The news sent Federated shares up 5% to a new 52-week high of $43.90 before falling back to close at $42.42. Icahn Management held more than 2 million Federated shares as of June 30, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Buying $500 million of stock at $43.90 a share would represent a purchase of almost 11.4 million shares. Federated has 544 million shares outstanding, according to Reuters data. Federated's shares have risen more than 25% this year through Tuesday as the retailer integrated its $11.7-billion purchase of May Department Stores without major hiccups. It converted 400 former May stores into Macy's this month, creating a national chain of more than 800 Macy's stores, which is expected to boost its sales and give it more sway with advertisers and vendors. I just think it's undervalued, Icahn said in an interview of his decision to buy more shares. There are some great real estate values there. I think the company has done a good job. In a statement, Federated's chairman, president and chief executive, Terry Lundgren, said the retailer was glad Icahn saw value in the company and was increasing his stake. Scott Vergin, a portfolio manager at Thrivent Financial, said the timing of Icahn's announcement was unusual given that the merger integration and store conversion seemed to be going well. Usually it's in a failed situation where somebody like that steps in, he said. Everything we hear is that [the integration] is going better than planned.

MIDEAST STOCKS-Saudi bourse up after three straight declines; other markets down
RIYADH, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia’s stock market rose on Monday, recovering from three consecutive declines, while other markets were weak amid concerns over the impact that trade disputes involving the United States could affect the global economy and equities. The Saudi index added 0.4 percent, recovering from three straight days of declines that sent the largest Arab bourse down 1.5 percent; however trading volumes remained low, due to global concerns and as many investors are still away from the market. “The global economic situation is worrying for the markets, wealth managers have been reducing exposure to equities over the past month, that’s why negative sentiment is spreading across the region;” said Mazen al-Sudairi, head of research at Al Rajhi Capital. Sentiment among global investors has been dampened by a U.S.-China trade row while contentious trade talks between the United States and Canada ended on Friday with no deal to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement. Al Rajhi Bank rose 0.8 percent, petrochemical giant SABIC added 0.6 percent and real estate developer Jabal Omar jumped 1.3 percent. Other markets declined amid lacklustre trading on select stocks. Dubai index lost lost 0.4 percent as property developer Emaar retreated about 0.6 percent. In Abu Dhabi, the index shed 0.3 percent amid weak trading with only four gainers and three losers led by First Abu Dhabi Bank which fell 0.5 percent. Qatar followed suit, with the index losing 0.4 percent. Qatar Commercial Bank fell 1.7 percent and Masraf Al Rayan declined 0.9 percent. Reporting by Marwa Rashad, Editing by William Maclean

Tiny EDSL for shell pipes in lua
$ luarocks install lua-shepi
Lua-shepi uses the package lua-posix in order to provide command chaining using real unix pipes.
Here are some highlights:
- The EDSL uses the same left-to-right evaluation order and the pipe character | that you are familiar with. For instance local pipe = bp.echo('foo bar') | bp.tr('-d', ' ') becomes possible (see the examples further below).
- There are no tempfiles.
- Space complexity for normal shepi pipes is constant (not taking into account the commands in the pipeline of course).
- If you are using the shepi.fork function, space complexity is O(n) = n, because it synchronuously joins the subpipes in order. (n referes to the data input from the subpipes.)
- You can throw lua functions into the pipe. They also do run in a separate process!
- You can reuse your pipes, since they are just regular lua-functions.
- And, of course, there won't be zombie processes (but that's not really a hightlight).
For usage and syntax example (a general showcase), refer to the README.md provided in the github repository. Thank you for your interest.

How Do You Find A Node In A Linked List?
How do you find the loop in a linked list?
Approach: This is the fastest method and has been described below:Traverse linked list using two pointers.Move one pointer(slow_p) by one and another pointer(fast_p) by two.If these pointers meet at the same node then there is a loop.
If pointers do not meet then linked list doesn’t have a loop..
How do you find the Nth node in a linked list?
Method 2 (Use two pointers) Initialize both reference and main pointers to head. First, move the reference pointer to n nodes from head. Now move both pointers one by one until the reference pointer reaches the end. Now the main pointer will point to nth node from the end.
How do you create a node in a linked list?
Java program to create a singly linked list of n nodes and count the number of nodesCreate a class Node which has two attributes: data and next. Next is a pointer to the next node in the list.Create another class which has two attributes: head and tail.addNode() will add a new node to the list: Create a new node.
How do you find an element in a linked list?
Searching in singly linked listStep 1: SET PTR = HEAD.Step 2: Set I = 0.STEP 3: IF PTR = NULL.STEP 4: REPEAT STEP 5 TO 7 UNTIL PTR != NULL.STEP 5: if ptr → data = item.STEP 6: I = I + 1.STEP 7: PTR = PTR → NEXT.STEP 8: EXIT.
How do you find the first node in a linked list?
Write a function findFirstLoopNode() that checks whether a given Linked List contains a loop. If the loop is present then it returns point to the first node of the loop. Else it returns NULL.

BOB'S TIPS
QUICK BUYING GUIDE
The state of a diesel engine can, to some extent, be gauged by how well the engine starts & runs when it is at it’s coldest (first thing in the morning during a heavy freeze is ideal), so when viewing a potential buy ensure you are present for it's first start of the day.
Diesels Pre-2000 would sound a little clattery & slight smoke from the exhaust when starting from cold, but the smoke should of cleared by 1 minute & the engine sound more settled in this time.
More modern diesels should have no smoke when starting from cold (on the whole, though some marques may pass a light haze for 20 to 40 seconds). Heavy exhaust smoke &/or uneven running from cold can suggest a badly worn engine, faulty injectors or (best case scenario) failed glow plugs.
Also worth noting, the modern Earth saving trend is for smaller cc engines, this changes the 'life' of a diesel dramatically. Small cc diesels of 1.6 litres & less have far shorter lifespans than engines of higher litre capacities. So buyer, beware! Once upon a time 150k miles on a diesel would be not too worrying, but 150k miles on a 1.3CDTI Corsa is pretty much ready for the scrap heap, sad, I know, but it wasn’t my idea!

Engine Oil
Over the years we have had the opportunity to test various engine oils on many vehicles.
Fully synthetic oils are 'pushed' as the ultimate choice but we beg to differ.
Fully synthetic oils are too 'thin', this results in oil leaking past valve stem seals and past turbo seals resulting in blue smoke at start up and oil in inlet/boost pipes.
We personally use and advise that a semi-synthetic oil is used with a rating of either 10/40 or 15/40, these oils are more viscous and are less likely to weep past seals. These oils also deaden engine 'tapping and ticking' sounds.
We have yet to decide the best oil, but will add this info at a later date.
Click here for more information on Engine Oil.
Air Filters
A clogged or partially clogged air filter will create an all manner of problems such as power loss, black smoke, reduced mpg figures, failure of the MOT smoke test. It is imperative that the air filter is renewed at the recommended service intervals and more often than recommended if the vehicle is used in dusty conditions (not normally a problem in the UK!).
We strongly recommend using either a genuine replacement filter or one from a reputable manufacturer, like everything these days dirt cheap parts are available but cost cutting engine parts is false economy.
Also, blowing out the air filter with an air line really is not a good idea.
EGR Systems
EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems where added to the diesel engine to reduce exhaust emissions when the engine is idling or under partial load. Exhaust gas is dumped back (via a valve arrangement) into the inlet manifold where it is again 're-burnt' and in theory cleans the exhaust gases. An excellent idea in theory and on paper BUT once the engine has been in service for a few years the EGR system and inlet manifold become caked in soot reducing air flow, increasing emissions and reducing power and mpg figures. Once the problems manifest themselves it is recommended that the EGR parts and inlet manifold are removed and cleaned (steam cleaning and physical scraping) to remove all the carbon and gunk. There are 'wonder aerosols' available that claim to clean out the EGR system. These aerosols have very limited effects and have the potential to cause damage. The only way to do the job properly is to remove the parts and 'get involved'. Deactivating the EGR system is another option but not all vehicles will allow this to happen as the engine management light will illuminate.
Tyres
Often overlooked but tyre pressures are a key player in economy figures.
Check and inflate tyres to correct pressures at least once a fortnight, pressure figures will be in vehicle handbook.
Very wide tyres will reduce economy, though look pretty cool.
Oil in fuel?
Continual changes to the blends of diesel fuel have resulted in a modern fuel that is much less lubricating. This lack of lubrication is having an adverse affect on the overall lifespan of diesel injection equipment, causing damage to injectors and fuel pumps.
A common practice is to add oil to the fuel at each fill up to provide added lubrication and theoretically, prolong the injection equipments operating life.
Using full mineral engine oils, hydraulic oils and 2 stroke oils are the more common options. This practice is perfectly safe and advisable for diesels WITHOUT a DPF system, however, one must be very, very careful when a DPF system is fitted. Adding the wrong oil or too much oil to the fuel has the potential to damage a DFP, which is an invariably expensive fix.
Petrol contamination
An easy mistake to make but a potentially expensive mistake!
Older diesels (pre 2001) would normally just require a total fuel system drain, new fuel filter, bleed fuel through and 95% of the time there are no problems.
Modern diesels, on the other hand, do not fare so well.
Petrol has no lubrication qualities and can instantly wear out/seize injection components.
Should a petrol mis-fill occur and it is realised before starting the engine DO NOT start the vehicle, have the fuel tank drained before even contemplating running the engine.
On occasions where the mis-fill was not identified until the vehicle is started there are two scenarios:
Total cut out, will not restart:
This is the worst case as it is likely severe damage has been done. In these cases it really is a keep your fingers crossed situation. A full tank drain must be carried out along with new fuel filter and a pressurised bleed through. It is then a case of praying that the engine will run with no misfires or smoke. Should there be smoke, misfires or the engine will not run then removal of the fuel system components will be requires for inspection.
Loss of power, exhaust smoke (usually grey/blue), starting can be difficult:
In these cases the petrol has diluted the diesel down and you may be in luck. As above, a full tank drain, new filter and full system bleed is required. Once completed and you are lucky, your diesel may well start and run just as before.
Red diesel and Kerosene
Agricultural diesel or 'red diesel' is tax reduced fuel for use in tractors, boats and other industrial / plant machine applications that rarely or never drive on public roads.
Red diesel was always supposed to be standard 'white diesel' with a red dye added as a marker, used for easy detection for those wonderful folk in uniforms!
Kerosen is basically aviation fuel and used as the heating oil doe home central heating where gas is not available.
Both these oils can be used in any diesel engine and the engine will run, in most cases, just as it would with white diesel.
However...
Unfortunately we do not process the relevant chemistry set to check the exact 'make up' of red diesel in comparison to white diesel, but our many years of experience with fuel systems has shown that red diesel is NOT the same as white diesel. Red diesel appears to an inferior fuel to white diesel, it appears to lack even more lubricating properties than white diesel. We receive dozens upon dozens of diesel injectors and fuel pumps that are 'worn out' and yet have only covered average mileages of between 60-80k miles and yet, looking at the wear rates one would assume the components have covered more like 300k miles minimum! This accelerated wear effect is also seen when people use kerosene in the diesel vehicles. Kerosene contains virtually no lubricating properties at all, so injection component damage is inevitable.
THE SHORT TERM SAVINGS FROM USING RED DIESEL OR KEROSENE CAN BE WRITTEN OFF INSTANTLY SHOULD AN INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE OCCUR!
TELL TALE SIGNS
There are a number of running problems that indicate something is 'not quite right'.
BLUE SMOKE from exhaust - Causes: Engine is burning engine oil, injection timing is incorrectly set.
BLACK SMOKE from exhaust - Causes: Too much fuel is being delivered to the engine or the fuel that is being delivered is not correctly atomised, Exhaust Gas Reciculation (EGR) system has failed or is incorrectly set of has become clogged with soot.
WHITE SMOKE from exhaust - Causes: If the ambient temperature is low, steam which is normal and usually clears, if the smoke never clears, water is entering the engine (cylinder head, head gasket, liner problem).
GREY SMOKE from exhaust - Causes: Injection timing is incorrectly set, fuel is not being atomised correctly, something other than diesel has been added to the the fuel tank.
METAL PARTICLES FOUND IN FUEL FILTER - Cause: Injection components have begun to disintegrate.
ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT (MIL) ILLUMINATES - Cause: The engines ECU has picked up a fault, requires the vehicle to be plugged into a diagnostic code reader to identify/locate the fault.
VEHICLE GOES INTO 'LIMP MODE' - Cause: A serious fault has occured, requires the vehicle to be plugged into a diagnostic code reader to identify/locate the fault.

GlobalStatus
Description
The GlobalStatus is a complex component meant for displaying global Application notifications or a summary of a form ( displaying form errors, messages etc. ). By default, the GlobalStatus is automatically connected together with the FormStatus component. This means, that every form component showing a status, will send the status message along to the GlobalStatus.
FormStatus default behavior
1. Once a FormStatus is show, the main GlobalStatus will show up.
2. The page will scroll (if needed) to the dedicated GlobalStatus.
3. But the focus will stay on the current place.
4. Screen reader uses will automatically hear the whole content of the GlobalStatus once it shows up.
Several Global statuses
Normally, You only want to have one GlobalStatus inside Your application. But You can have several in parallel. But make sure You give every other a new ID:
<GlobalStatus id="other-global-status" />
Where to put it
• The GlobalStatus component should be positioned right under the header. By default, it uses main as the ID.
• Or as a secondary summary of errors in a submit form. Keep in mind, by default, form components like Input are using the ID main. To make sure the build in FormStatus is sending along the message to another GlobalStatus, You have to set the global_status_id, like:
<Input global_status_id="other-global-status" ... />
But You can also make use of the FormSet or FormRow (or FormSet) witch will send along the global_status_id the underlaying/children components, like:
<FormSet global_status_id="other-global-status">...</FormSet>
Smooth scrolling
Not every browser (e.g. Safari, Edge and IE) supports smooth scrolling. Therefore, add the smoothscroll-polyfill to your project:
import smoothscroll from 'smoothscroll-polyfill'
// kick off the polyfill!
smoothscroll.polyfill()
Manually updates
Beside the automated connection between the error states of form components (FormStatus), You can update messages from everywhere in Your application on any time:
NB: The GlobalStatus will autoclose by default, once all messages are removed.
JavaScript (interceptor situation)
import { GlobalStatus } from 'dnb-ui-lib/components'
// Update the the status like so:
const status = GlobalStatus.Set({
status_id: 'custom-id-1',
text: 'New Text',
item: 'Item from status #1'
})
// 2. and remove it again if needed
status.remove()
JSX
import { GlobalStatus } from 'dnb-ui-lib/components'
// 1. Place it under the header bar
<GlobalStatus text="Optional default text" />
// 2. later on, You can show a message
<GlobalStatus.Add
status_id="custom-id-1"
title="New title"
text="First long info text ..."
item="Item from status #1"
/>
// 3. and remove it again
<GlobalStatus.Remove status_id="custom-id-1" />
If You need an additional GlobalStatus, define a custom ID (custom-status):
import { GlobalStatus } from 'dnb-ui-lib/components'
// 1. Place it somewhere in Your application
<GlobalStatus id="custom-status" />
// 2. later on, You can show a message
<GlobalStatus.Add
id="custom-status"
status_id="custom-id-1"
title="New title"
text="First long info text ..."
item="Item from status #1"
/>
// 3. and remove it again
<GlobalStatus.Remove id="custom-status" status_id="custom-id-1" />
Demos

Python String strip()
The Python strip() string method is used to remove/strip any given character or substring from the leading and trailing characters(substring) of a given string.
• This method only removes the left and right side characters, that too only if they matches the argument provided in the strip() method and returns the copy of the string.
• If we'll not pass any character to the current method then it'll take away all the leading and trailing whitespace from the string.
• To remove whitespaces or any special character, or any prefix or suffix from a given string this method is employed.
• The matching is case sensitive, which means study and Study are treated as different.
For example, if I have a user input where user can input their fullname, then we can use the strip() method to remove any prefix added to the full name. Many individuals add Mr. or Miss. before their fullname. So we can use the strip() function like strip("Mr.") or strip("Miss."), like this, to sanitize the input string.
Similarly, we can use it to remove empty spaces added before and after a string.
Python String strip(): Syntax
Below we've got the basic syntax of the strip() function in Python:
string.strip([character])
Python String strip(): Parameters
Given below is the parameter of strip() function:
• character
This is an optional parameter used to indicate the characters that are needed to be removed from the string. If this parameter isn't provided, in those cases this method can take away all leading and trailing whitespaces from the string. In other words, the default value for this parameter is whitespace.
Python String strip(): Returned Values
This method returns the string after removing the leading and trailing characters removed from the string.
Python String strip(): Basic Example
Below we have an example to show the working of the strip() function:
str = " StudyTonight!! Best place to learn coding"
print(str.strip());
The output for the same is given below:
StudyTonight!! Best place to learn coding
It is concluded from the above example that space before the character "S" is removed in the output.
Python String strip(): Removing characters from a String
There is an example given below where we remove the characters from a string:
str = "StudyTonight!!Best place to learn coding for online study"
print(str.strip("Study"));
The Output for the same is given below:
Tonight!!Best place to learn coding for online study
Note: It is important to remember if the combination of characters in the parameter mismatches with the characters in the string then it will stop striping the characters. For this case, we have an example too and the code snippet for the same is given below:
str="StudyTonight!!Best place to learn coding"
print(str.strip("study"));
The Output for the same is given below:
StudyTonight!!Best place to learn coding
From the above output, we are hoping that it is clear to you if the character in the string and character in the passed parameter mismatches then strip() function is unable to perform its function.
Time for a Live Example!
Let us see the example given below where we will see the strip() function in different situations:
Summary
In this tutorial, we learned that to remove leading and trailing characters from the specified string, we can use the strip() method of Python.

• Surpassing Towing Capacity: Every vehicle has a utmost towing capability. Surpassing this ceiling can pressure your car’s motor and transmission.
• Improperly Fastening the Vehicle: Neglecting to correctly attach the car may cause it turning into loose throughout transit.
• Disregarding Precautionary Measures: Not complying with precautionary measures guidelines can yield injuries, injuries, or damage to your automobile.
Towing versus Self-Driving: Pros and Disadvantages
With the progression of tech, self-driving automobiles are evolving into a actuality. Nevertheless, when it relates to malfunctions or crashes, is towing nevertheless pertinent? Let’s assess the pros and cons of both options:
Towing:
• Benefits: Expert support, suitable for all vehicle types, avoids the requirement for vehicle recovery, ensures safety and competence.
• Cons: Relies on external support, potential waiting period for the tow vehicle to show up.
Self-Driving:
• Benefits: Autonomy, no need to await a tow vehicle, potentially quicker if the problem is small.
• Downsides: Limited to certain kinds of problems, might not be appropriate for all landscapes, technical bugs can yet strand you stuck.
While self-driving advancements deliver comfort, towing remains essential when it comes to major breakdowns or crashes, providing the skill and apparatus needed for a protected and effective settlement.
Understanding Towing Capacity and Security
Towing capacity is a critical element when it relates to towing securely. It relates to the utmost weight a vehicle could tow without jeopardizing damage to its motor, gearbox, or alternative elements. Disregarding towing capacity can result in dangerous scenarios on the thoroughfare.
Here are some key components to contemplate:
• Maker Guidelines: Always follow the towing potential stated by your car’s maker. This knowledge can usually be located in your owner’s handbook.
• Consider the Burden: Take into account in the mass of the caravan, riders, freight, and any extra apparatus you’re carrying.
• Braking Mechanism: Verify your car’s braking is proficient at managing the heightened pressure. Trailer brakes might also be essential.
• Equitable Dispersal of Mass: Accurately apportion the weight to avoid swaying or loss of control through towing.
By following towing capacity and protection directives, you not merely protect your car but likewise assure the security of everyone on the thoroughfare.
The Prospective of Towing Aid
As technological advancements endures to advance, so do towing assistance. Here’s a peek into the subsequent:
• Advanced Towing Vehicles: Towing vehicles are evolving into increasingly specialized and provided with revolutionary technology to tackle a range of circumstances.
• Automated Towing: Self-driving tow automobiles might alter the industry, delivering quicker retort times and reducing the danger of human being error.
• Incorporated GPS and Communication: Towing assistance are incorporating GPS tracking and real-time communication to provide exact updates to patrons.
• EV Suitability: Towing assistance are acclimatizing to the emergence of electric cars, with specific equipment for EV towing.
As the vehicle scene alters, towing assistance are prepared to accommodate and revolutionize, assuring that motorists retain effective and dependable aid in times of necessity.
In summation, towing is a basic element of highway security and car care. Regardless of whether you’re facing a minor glitch or a significant accident, skilled towing solutions deliver the skill, tools, and safeguarding strategies required to address the circumstance.

Although Anxiety Is Common, It Is Not Necessary
These days, more people realize anxiety is present in their lives to an unhealthy degree. Whether you have chronic general anxiety or panic attacks, you can do a lot to lessen symptoms. These tips are a great way to begin to feel at peace.
A lot of times, people with high anxiety levels will crave salt. This is because the body requires more salt during such times, and is signaling for you to boost your intake. Raw, unprocessed salt is best, as it contains minerals the body needs and the body can digest it easily.
Practice breathing deeply to help you cope with your anxiety. People will often hyperventilate during anxiety, so breathing from the diaphragm is best. Concentrate on pushing your stomach in and out to see that you breath deeply and keep your anxiety under control.
Amino acids can really help your anxiety. Several people don’t take in enough nutrients and their body produces less serotonin. There are many good books on the market, like Mood Cure, which talks about treatment solutions with over the counter supplements that can help lessen the effects of anxiety.
Eating a nutritious diet will help you stay healthier, because you are more prone to anxiety attacks when you are feeling hungry or run down. When you fill your body with vitamins and nutrients your body begins to function properly and you can win the fight against anxiety.
Maintaining constant activity is sometimes the best way to conquer anxiety. If your mind is not occupied because you have nothing to do, it is easy to focus on anxious feelings. You may find it very helpful to keep yourself active and useful. Try simple chores such as cleaning the house or tidying up the garden.
Talk to someone about what you’re going through no matter who it is. Hiding your feelings will only make them worse. Voicing your feelings can help you feel better and decrease your anxiety.
A lot of people who have issues with stress and anxiety are simply not taking any time to relax and reflect on life. Make a space in your daily schedule to unwind doing something relaxing that you enjoy, like reading or taking a hot bath. Your anxiety will fade away over time when you institute a daily 20 minute relaxation period.
Exercising can alter your brain chemicals. Lack of serotonin can lead to anxiety, but regular exercise can increase serotonin levels. Brisk walks with your dog, gym workouts and even gardening can all promote brain production of both dopamine and serotonin, which are natural relaxants. As a two for one, this fights both anxiety and depression.
Give yourself a daily goal, then focus on working hard enough to achieve it. When you do this you remain focused and your anxiety levels are reduced because you refused to allow negative issues to dominate your activities. This way you not only avoid anxiety, but also accomplish more.
While anxiety is something everyone has to deal with, there are effective ways to reduce its impact on your life. It is always a good idea to seek the help of a medical professional if your anxiety is seriously impacting your life, however these tips can also be used to help take your life back.…

Striim 3.9.4 / 3.9.5 documentation
Parsing HTTP log entries
The following example uses the FreeFormTextParser regex property to match several patterns in the following log entry.
log {start 1234567890.123456} {addr 123.456.789.012} {port 12345} {method POST} {url /abc/def.ghi} {agent {Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MS Web Services Client Protocol 1.1.12345.1234)}} {bytes 1234} {status 200} {end 1234567890.123456} {host 123.456.789.012}
...
In this case we use a positive lookbehind construct to match the start, addr, port, method, url, bytes, status, and end patterns, while excluding the log and agent patterns:
regex:'((?<=start ).[^}]+)|((?<=addr ).[^}]+)|((?<=port ).[^}]+)|((?<=method ).[^}]+)|((?<=url ).[^}]+)|((?<=bytes ).[^}]+)|(?<=\\(\\#)[^\\)]+|((?<=status ).[^}]+)|((?<=end ).[^}]+)|((?<=host ).[^}]+)'
Note that each capture group uses two sets of parentheses. For example,
((?<=start ).[^}]+)
The inner parentheses are used for the positive lookbehind syntax:
(?<=start )
The outer parentheses are used for the capture group. In this example, group[1]=1234567890.123456, which is used by the parser in its data array.
Here is the TQL of the PARSE statement using the regex expression within a FreeFormTextParser:
PARSE USING FreeFormTextParser (
RecordBegin:'^log ',
RecordEnd:'\n',
regex:'((?<=start ).[^}]+)|((?<=addr ).[^}]+)|((?<=port ).[^}]+)|((?<=method ).[^}]+)|((?<=url ).[^}]+)|((?<=bytes ).[^}]+)|(?<=\\(\\#)[^\\)]+|((?<=status ).[^}]+)|((?<=end ).[^}]+)|((?<=host ).[^}]+)',
separator:'~'

JSS 1 : PHYSICS : WEEK 3
NEW APPROACH
WEEK/TERM: THIRD TERM/WEEK 3
DATE: 05.05.2020
CLASS: J.S.S 1
SUBJECT: PHYSICS
TOPIC: VISCOSITY AND CAPILLARITY
REFERENCE: ESSENTIAL PHYSICS FOR SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
BRIEF EXPLANATION: To demonstrate viscosity, (liquid friction) we can allow a coin or ball bearing to fall through a liquid. The liquid in which the motion of the ball bearing or coin slows down is said to be more Viscous than that in which the motion is fast. Also a less viscous liquid travels faster than a more viscous liquid in a pipe.
Notes for students (Lesson one)
Viscosity is the force that acts in order to oppose motion in fluids (liquid or gas). It can be called liquid friction. It is the property of liquids, which opposes the relative motion between different layers.
NSM-2 (S. 1 unit) and it is a vector quantity.
Thus n =
Examples of liquids that are more viscous
1. Engine oil
2. Castor oil
3. Palm oil
4. Honey
5. Coal tar
These are thick liquids
Examples of liquids that are less viscous
1. Kerosene
2. Water
3. Alcohol (ethanol)
4. Spirit
5. Salt solution etc
Effects of temperature on viscosity
1. Temperature reduces viscosity.
2. There are certain liquids whose viscosity does not change appreciably with changes in temperature such liquids are called VISCOSTATIC liquids.
Effects of viscosity
1. Viscosity affects the motion of objects in fluid
2. Viscosity in air causes turbulence in aerodynamics.
Application of viscosity
1. Viscous liquids are used as lubricants. Examples of such liquids are oil and grease
2. Viscosity idea is applied in the design of ships and air craft.
Lesson two
Capillarity means the ability of a liquid to rise and fall in a narrow tube.
Application (examples) of capillarity.
1. The movement of ink in pen.
2. The rising up of water in the stem of a plant.
3. The circulation of blood across the body through the capillaries.
4. The rising of kerosene up the wick of a lamp.
Exercises /Assignment
1. What is viscosity?
2. What is the effect of temperature in viscosity?
3. Write two applications of viscosity.
4. What is capillarity?

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: bad parsing

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: bad parsing
JSON or JavaScript Object Notation is a ubiquitous data format used by all sorts of mobile and web apps for asynchronous browser-server communication. JSON is an extremely popular data format, very easy to work with, compatible with every major programming language, and is supported by every major browser. However just like any programming language, it throws a lot of errors when it decide that today is not going to be your day.
JSON.Parse Syntax Errors
In most web applications, nearly all data transferred from web server is transmitted in a string format. To convert that string into JSON, we use JSON.parse() function, and this the main function that throws errors. Nearly all JSON.parse errors are a subset of SyntaxError error type. Debugging console throws around 32 different errors messages when you mess up your JSON data. And some of them are very tricky to debug; and yes I am talking about you unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data.
Why the SyntaxError Horror?
SyntaxError is an inherited object of the main error object The main reason behind the error is usually a mistake in the JSON file syntax. You mess up and put a “ instead of a ‘ and you invite to face the SyntaxError JSON.parse: unexpected character.
Just like every programming language, a JSON file has a fixed syntax. Small syntax errors throws errors. For example, in the following code, i forgot to remove a trailing comma
Error1
Similarly, in this example I forgot to add }
error2
How to Catch The Error Before Hand?
The problem with debugging JSON errors are that you get to know about one error at a time. Debuggers throw the first error they find and then stop. It would be upto you to regression find the bugs. Usually it’s not as difficult as it sounds.
The first step is to make sure that your JSON file is perfect from the get go. Here you can take help from JSON linting tools like cleverly named jsonlint.com
If you don’t have any control over the receiving JSON file, then the next step is to add catch exceptions around your JSON.parse.
Also, here are the main errors related to JSON.parse that I very painstakingly collected from a very single source [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Errors/JSON_bad_parse] 😛
If this doesn’t help, then you are in for one long debugging session. Leave a comment below with your issue. I can help.

Diabetes During Pregnancy – Symptoms, Risks and Treatments
By |
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a serious disorder in which the body is not able to control the amount of sugar in the blood because of the deficiency of insulin. Basically, there are two types of diabetes i.e. type 1, which is an autoimmune disorder and type 2, which is the most common and is mostly associated with obesity, old age, family history etc.
When you are diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy, you should immediately look for the best treatment. Whether you are trying to conceive or already pregnant, treatment of diabetes in pregnancy is the key to good health for you as well as your baby.
Diabetes During Pregnancy
Gestational Diabetes:
Diabetes during pregnancy is a very common complication or problem of pregnancy that affects approximately 4% of the all pregnant woman. This condition might be dangerous to both the mother and the baby and hence needs to be taken care of properly during the whole course of pregnancy.
There are additional risk factors that can cause the gestational diabetes:-
1. If you have high blood pressure or any other medical complication.
2. If you had gestational diabetes during your previous pregnancies.
3. If you have a family history of diabetes.
4. If you are obese when you conceive.
5. If you have given birth to a large baby before i.e. greater than 9 pounds.
6. If you have given birth to a baby suffering from certain birth defects.
7. If you are older than 30 years.

Risk Factors Associated with Gestational Diabetes:
If this is not treated on time, the expectant mother may face various possibilities are there like problems such as:-
• The baby may grow too large i.e. condition of macrosomia
• Increasing problems during pregnancy
• Complication in delivery,such as injuries to the baby’s shoulders, nerves, etc.
• The baby may experience sudden drop in blood sugar amount right after birth
• The baby has a higher risk of developing jaundice and other breathing problems
Symptoms of Diabetes In Pregnancy:
The symptoms of Gestational diabetes do not have much are not easily visible symptoms to easily and it is quite difficult to diagnose the situation, however, but there are various signs that can help us to get a hint about the gestational diabetes-
• Fatigue.
• Frequent urination.
• Blurred vision.
• Dry mouth.
• Dehydration.
• Suffer from recurring infections which also takes longer to heal.
Diagnosis Of Gestational Diabetes:
Medical experts haven’t concurred on a single set of screening rules for gestational diabetes. Some inquiry whether gestational diabetes screening is required in case you’re younger than 25 and have no risk factors. Others say that screening every pregnant lady is the most ideal approach to distinguish all instances of gestational diabetes.
If you have higher risk factors such as your body mass index i.e. BMI, before pregnancy is 30 or higher or you have a family history of diabetes, then you are likely to be suggested a screening test for the diagnosis of diabetes in pregnancy.
See More: Lower Abdomen Pain During Pregnancy
Routine Screening for Gestational Diabetes Include:-
1. Initial Glucose Challenge Test : If your blood sugar level is higher than the normal, it only means you have a higher risk of getting gestational diabetes.
2. Glucose Tolerance Testing : You are asked to fast overnight and then your blood sugar level is measured. Then you are asked to drink another sweet solution – one containing high concentration of glucose and blood sugar will be checked every hour for three times. If at least two blood sugar readings are higher than normal, you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
Preventive Steps to Be Taken for Gestational Diabetes: –
There are no sure shot ways to prevent diabetes as there is always a risk of developing diabetes or other problems during pregnancy, however there are various steps that can be included in the daily routine to help prevent the problem .
• How to control diabetes during pregnancy? The best solution is. eating healthy food and planning your meals to include a balanced diet i.e. carbohydrates like brown rice and wholegrain pasta. Also replace the fatty food with lean protein and use the grilled one instead of fixed one.
• Along with healthy diet, exercise regularly to maintain fitness and control your blood sugar level. Exercises that you can include are walking, yoga, etc.
• Keep a regular check over your weight and other parameters like hemoglobin, blood glucose level, blood pressure, etc.
• Visit your doctor regularly to seek advice and medication to prevent such complications during pregnancy.
• Weight loss during pregnancy is not recommended,however if you haven’t conceived yet and are planning to get pregnant, then lose your weight beforehand which will help you to have a healthy pregnancy.
What causes diabetes during pregnancy is still not known completely and there is no sure shot way to prevent it. However, adopting these measures will help you to prevent further complications and reduces the risk of having it in future pregnancies or developing type 2 diabetes after the delivery. Motivate yourself and consider the long-term benefits of shedding those extra pounds.
See More: Spotting During Pregnancy
If Diagnosis Of Gestational Diabetes Is Positive:
• You need frequent health checks especially during the last three months of your pregnancy
• During these health checks your blood sugar level will be examined and as per your treatment plan you will be asked to monitor your glucose levels daily.
• If there are troubles in controlling the blood sugar, then insulin may be administered to control it.
• As per your treatment plan you will be asked to include special meal plans and scheduled physical activities.
Sticking strictly to the treatment plan, you will be able to treat the problem and other complications to give you a healthy pregnancy and birth and prevent such complications in your future pregnancies.
Post Delivery:
Your blood sugar level will be examined after the delivery and again after 6-12 weeks to ensure the blood sugar level is maintained. This is just to ensure that you are not further at a risk of diabetes and it may not create further complications in your future pregnancies.
If you are at a risk of diabetes and your blood sugar level has not returned to normal, you need to talk to your doctor and seek treatment as per the demand of the situation to avoid future problems.
How to Control Diabetes During Pregnancy and What to Eat?
Following a vitalizing eating routine is critical during pregnancy, and especially so if a woman develop gestational diabetes.
High glucose levels might be risky for a woman and the developing fetus. To help oversee glucose levels, it is imperative to screen how many, what compose, and how frequently starches are consumed. Keeping a food journal may make this less demanding.
Checking Carbs:
Separating suppers and snacks containing carbs equally for the duration of the day can help avoid spikes in glucose. The American Diabetes Association suggest that women with gestational diabetes ought to eat three small meals and two to four snacks for each day.
Different approaches to help manage glucose include:
• Abstaining from eating an excessive number of carbs at one time
• Adhering to complex carbs that are high in fiber
• Consolidating sugars with protein or healthy fat
• Not skipping dinners
• Eating a protein-rich and stringy sugar breakfast
• Eating protein-rich,fibrous carbohydrate breakfast
A glycemic load of 10 or underneath is viewed as low and is perfect for those with gestational diabetes who are attempting to oversee glucose.
Low glycemic stack food to eat include:
• 100 percent wholegrain breads and oats
• Non-starchy vegetables
• Some starchy vegetables, for example, peas and carrots
• Some organic product, for example, apples, oranges, grapefruit, peaches, and pears
• Beans
• Lentils
• Chickpeas
These low GI nourishment’s discharge sugar into the blood gradually, keeping glucose levels stable.
Eating More Protein
Eating protein along with carbs, or picking carbs that likewise have protein in them, adjusts glucose levels. Women with gestational diabetes should endeavor to eat lean, protein-rich food, for example,
• Fish, chicken, and turkey
• Eggs
• Tofu
• Beans
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Quinoa
• Vegetables
Picking Unsaturated Fats:
Unsaturated fats are likewise part of any empowering diet. Cases of unsaturated fats include:
• Olive oil
• Shelled nut oil
• Avocado
• Most nuts and seeds
• Salmon
• Sardines
• Fish
• Chia seeds
What to Avoid:
Maintaining a strategic distance from sugary nourishments.
Choice of sugary foods and beverages
Keeping away from sugary sustenance and drink is prescribed to reduce the effects of gestational diabetes.
Glucose levels are raised when individuals eat sugary foods, especially those that are refined and processed. Women with gestational diabetes are encouraged to keep away from or limit sugary foods,however much as could be expected.
Sugary nourishments to dodge include:
• Cakes
• Rolls
• Desserts
• Puddings
• Soda
• Fruit juices with added sugar
Keep away from exceptionally starchy nourishments
Starchy foods are high in carbohydrates and have a major impact on glucose, so it is imperative to eat them just in little bits. Some extremely starchy nourishments are best avoided or constrained. These include:
1. White potatoes
2. White bread
3. White rice
4. White pasta
With that in mind, here is our pregnancy special diabetes diet that you may want to follow.
1. Ensure to include fresh vegetables in your diet. Make your favorite salad with them or just toss it in some butter. If this doesn’t work, try a vegetable soup.
2. Needless to say, fresh fruits are another big must! Stay away from pineapples, as it can induce contraction and papaya. Include a lot of fresh apples and oranges in your daily bowl.
3. Steel-cut oatmeal with berries topped is another favorable diet for those of you suffering from gestational diabetes.
4. Include more protein rich foods like tofu, eggs and beans. They help in adjusting the glucose levels in blood.
5. Much on a bowl of nuts for some added energy. Do not feel the guilt and include a lot of nuts like almonds, pistachios and cashews as a mid -day snack or whenever you are hungry. But stay on limits!
6. Avoid white potato or white rice. They contain a lot of starch and are unhealthy. Instead try a bowl of brown rice.
7. Avoid fast foods like the fried ones. Keep alcohol at bay.
Importantly, do not skip your meals. This can lead to a fluctuation in the glucose levels and getting them under control could be hard.
Having a healthy pregnancy is not as difficult if handled well. As your pregnancy advances, your dietitian may roll out improvements to your diet in view of the aftereffects of glucose observing and how much weight you’ve gained. If you have to begin taking insulin, despite everything you’ll have to take after an eating design, however a dietitian will probably roll out a few improvements to consider your treatment. Hope you have a happy and safe pregnancy. Happy Parenting!

Bluetooth Connectivity Threatens Your Security
Everyone loves the hands-free convenience that Bluetooth enables — some people love it a little too much and insist on wearing their Bluetooth ear pieces every waking hour like they’re action heroes perpetually on the cusp of the next great adventure.
Bluetooth
But that’s not the only ugliness of Bluetooth, which has been vulnerable to security exploitations since its inception. The earliest form of this was the Cabir worm, which is believed to have been the first wireless worm. It could transmit itself to mobile phones using the Symbian platform when those devices were turned on and in discoverable mode. While it wasn’t very harmful — it sent a message with the caribe.ss file attached; when downloaded the file displayed the word “Caribe” on the handset screen — it served as a wakeup call to the industry.
Bluetooth threats have evolved since those days, and while they aren’t extremely dangerous they can still be quite serious.
Bluejacking is basically Bluetooth spam. Bluetooth users can send what is essentially an e-business card to other Bluetooth users within a 30-foot radius of their device; if downloaded that e-card can add the contact to the now-infected user’s address book. That contact then can send messages to this infected device. And some Bluejackers make the spam delivery even more simple, putting the spam directly into the Blutooth device name so when the recipient receives a message that a new device tried to connect, the requesting device is identified by the smap message — “ ‘30% Off Name-Brand Prescriptions’ is trying to connect to your device,” for instance. Such attacks can be increased to a 300-plus-foot radius if the attacker is using a directional antenna and amplifier.
The Car Whisperer is software that lets attackers send audio to, and receive audio from, a Bluetooth-enabled car stereo. This means that these attackers can listen to your calls and chime in, if they want to.
Bluebugging, is a bit more dangerous than the first two, allowing attackers to remotely access a user’s phone and use its features, including listening to calls, forwarding incoming calls, placing calls and sending text messages — and the user doesn’t realize what’s happening. This can result in expensive phone bills if its used to make premium or international calls.
Bluetooth attacks depend on exploiting the permission request/grant process that is the backbone of Bluetooth connectivity.
Bluetooth attacks depend on exploiting the permission request/grant process that is the backbone of Bluetooth connectivity. Regardless of the security features on your device, the only way to completely prevent attackers from exploiting that permission request/grant process is to power off your device’s Bluetooth function when you’re not using it — not putting it into an invisible or undetectable mode, but completely turning it off (there are bad apps that can power your device back on, just one more reason overall app security is vital).
There are lots of battery management apps out there that will do this for you automatically: Tasker and Juice Defender and the NFC-enabled Sony SmartTag are among those that can do this for Android devices. Battery Doctor, Battery Life Pro and Battery are three that can do it for iOS.

Rob vs Russell?
Does anybody have any reliable information about whether or not this season is going to be a Boston Rob vs Russell Hantz season? These rumours are all over the internet, so much so that it's hard to say it's not true. In addition, the logo (featuring a tall and short person) does not do much to stop the rumours? Has CBS said anything about this officially? TheTribeHasSpoken (talk) 09:33, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
* 99% sure based on dropped hints, spoilers, etc. that it will be but we have nothing we can use as a source in WP. Expect news mid Jan (when the cast is usually revealed). (and the logo is clearly a man vs woman, but that could be there to deflect the question) --M ASEM (t) 13:09, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Sortable table
After seeing the whole ABC order process I figured that putting it all into a sortable table would make things more easy. Just because other season's tables are diffrent does not mean new ideas cant come forward and things do change. I see no problem with the sortable table here. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:29, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
* I cleaned up the markup some. Trying to force the width of the columns is not going to work out well in the long term and past attempts at this have lead to long, slow edit wars while everybody tries to tweak the table so it looks just right on their own browser settings (like the annoying nowrap thing that goes on, too). I really recommend letting it just flow naturally. Nobody is ever going to get it to look perfect on everybody's web browser. As for the sortable table, I'm kind of indifferent about it. One thing that we will need to be aware of is to use the proper sort for the Finish column as the game progresses. One would hope that when the first castaway is voted out that everybody will catch on with the correct markup. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:28, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
* Edit warring over a table? Oh well okay I just let things flow then, I really dont care about which table is used I just wanted to try something diffrent for a change. I admit that there are some articles here on wikipedia that dont look the best on my browser (IE 8) but I go along with it because as you said there is no perfection to be had. The good thing about a sortable table is that readers can view what they want more easier. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:36, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
* Let me clarify what I was trying to say: I was trying to head off a potential edit war as I have seen in previous seasons. I did not mean to infer that you were edit warring or that there is a current edit war. Sorry about that. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
* No worries you didnt, just wanted to try it is all - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:55, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Tribe Colors

* As soon as there is a consensus on what the colors should be, I (or anybody) can add the colors. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:11, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
If you want my opinion, the second purple is the closest, but both oranges are too dark. They need more yellow in them.TheTribeHasSpoken (talk) 07:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Individual Color
I was on youtube the other day and when I was watching season 21's reunion, Jeff showed the preview for this season. They showed orange and purple flags and a girl in a green shirt.

Russell and Rob's Tribes
Jeff Probst's Cast assessment clearly shows russell in a zapatera buff. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:02, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* Before or after any possible tribal switch? --M ASEM (t) 18:31, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* I'm pretty sure it was Day 1 because it shows russell wearing the zapatera buff while gathering supplies to build a shelter.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:13, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* Maybe he's stealing the supplies from the other (or his own, can't push much past Russel) camp sometime after a merge/switch.
* The point is, until we have either a confirmed day 1 cast picture that shows Rob/Russel's tribe, or someone from the show is published saying the tribe assignments, or the first episode airs, we can't add the tribe information as its original research. We know what the new 16 players are through the announcements, but that's it. --M ASEM (t) 21:49, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Jeff Probst's Cast Assessment is released by CBS, as it shows Russell with a Zapatera buff that's not original research it's a slip up by producers <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:41, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* It's certainly a reliable source, but again, can you put exactly which day of filming they showed Russell with that buff? Was it labelled "Day 1"? --M ASEM (t) 22:55, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* Although what I'm about to say doesn't exactly prove anything, It might help to know that when the cast assessment was filmed, Jeff mentioned it was Day 1. Also, the cast assessments usually show contestants on either the first, second, or third day, so its likely that's Russell's original tribe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:25, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
* While I am 99.9% sure that what is shown in the video is all within the first few days, that doesn't satisfy our requirement for verifability and introduces original research. I'd rather wait for the premiere where it will be absolutely settled than to make the assumption that has a sliver of a chance of a being wrong. --M ASEM (t) 16:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

"Redemption Island status"
We did similar column back at the "Contestants" section at the Survivor Philippines: Palau article to show the first finish and finish after RI. (This was also done at the Israeli Survivor articles.) Should such a column be added to this Constestants section of this article or should you wait until next week. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 04:57, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
* I like it. We will have to see how Redemption Island plays, but I think it is a good starting point.
* On a related note, since the Redemption Island columns on The Game table appear to be fashioned after the same article, I would like to comment that I also think is a good idea, but with a few changes. First, I am not sure I agree with the current location of the columns at the far right. We will again have to see how RI plays out, but if the RI challenges are shown before TC, I think the columns to be shifted to the middle of the table in a rough order of when they are shown in an episode. For example, if they show an IC, then RI, and then TC, then that should be the order of the columns.
* I also think the choice of colors should be tweaked compared to Survivor Philippines: Palau. Since RI is not a tribe, per se, and appears to have no buff, the cells should not be colored. The colors on the tables have always been set to the tribe colors. I think the RI castaways should have their background colors unset since they lack a tribe color. Similarly, the episodes where the RI cells are not applicable should be darkgray and unlabeled like the Voting History is/will be. I think the only time it should be labeled with "None" is when something odd happens (somebody quits or is medically removed) and nobody arrives at RI. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
* You're right about the RI thing compared to Survivor Philippines: Palau. In that season, the castaway was given a differently colored buff (this one was gray while the tribal buffs are green, orange, and blue), hence the coloring. But since we don't know the full mechanics of RI here (just the basic idea), we have to wait until next week. But I'm not sure about including the RI events in the Voting History, since there's really no RI voting going on for sure. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 17:03, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
* I didn't know that Survivor Philippines: Palau received a gray buff, so the gray on that article does make sense now. It is too early to tell in this season. If a buff does appears, it should probably have the color set in the usual tribe color template. I think you misunderstood me about RI and Voting History. I didn't mean to say include anything about RI in the Voting History. What I was trying to show was that the darkgray for being "Not applicable" in the RI columns has a precedence in the darkgray of the Voting History table. I think anywhere in any of the three tables where the cell is "Not applicable" should be darkgray and unlabeled. "None" has a specific meaning like a skipped challenge. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:29, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Referring back to the said Survivor Philippines article, during that season's run, we used "Current Inhabitant" for the one staying at RI and the one eliminated as "nth Challenge Face-off Loser." So I went ahead removed the footnote on the contestants section here and did the "Current Inhabitant" thing because this was how we did it in the said article. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 22:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
* Also, referring to the same article, we used "Current inhabitant" for the new arrival to RI instead of "Challenger" because in a sense, the current inhabitant and the new arrival "live" in RI together until the challenge. We never used the latter, but I'll let you decided which one you'll use (BTW, my edit which stated this reason had been, in other words, "reverted"). - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 14:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
* Sounds reasonable to me so far. I'd like to see how RI plays out in the next episode to see what else needs to be tweaked, but using the Survivor Philippines article as a template is a good start. So far, we have not seen any buff color for RI, so that solves that problem for now. I think leaving the cells uncolored in The Game is the best option. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:11, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
There have been inconsistencies in the foreign titles that use the RI concept and there also arguments in this section as well. Which of the following should we use: - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 03:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
* "nth Duel Loser" - someone put this in the article earlier; currently in use
* "nth 'Face-off challenge' loser" - used in the said Survivor Philippines article
* "nth Eliminated" - used in Swededn
* "nth 'Island Dead'" - used in the Israeli seasons
* I say "Duel" as that was what was used to describe the RI challenge in the episode. I also moved the RI columns to middle of The Game table per my comment above. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:26, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
I don't know if I am the only one who edits here and noticed this, they keep their buffs at RI, I remember Fran being told to burn hers. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 01:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* I remember, but really they are not part of a tribe. They got voted off their tribe. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:16, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
My understanding is that Jeff accidentally leaked that the RI people in episode 6, which I believe is pre-merge. That being considered in retrospect assigning colors might be unnecessarily confusing as the RI resident may be put on the opposite tribe. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 08:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* Once someone returns next week, how should we mention in the "Redemption Island status" column that they've returned? Here are some possibilities:
* Redeemed
* Redemption Island Winner
* It's also quite possible that Redemption Island continues after the merge, with someone returning, say in the final five or six. In that case, we could do something like:
* nth Redeemed Player
* nth Redemption Island Winner.

* It's been confirmed in this preview that RI will restart after the merge. In Survivor Philippines, RI stopped at the merge. So do you think we should go with "nth Redemption Island Winner" or just use "Redemption Island Winner" for both returnees? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:01, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
* Interesting. I'm tempted to say "1st Redemption Island Winner" for either Matt or Sarita. Let's see how it plays out in the season. The solution may become more obvious once things are played out. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:21, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
* How about we use "nth Returnee"? Since "Redemption Island" is the name of the season, using "Redemption Island Winner" may confuse some readers into believing we're saying that Matt/Sarita wins the entire season. We could do something like this for returnees:

* That said, information about episodes that have not aired yet is only included to the extent that it is verifiable. The episode title and airdate can be verified via any number of TV listing services; content of the episode, other than the glimpses shown in previews and commercials, cannot be verified, and should not be in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 23:17, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Preventing future clashes of WP:RS and WP:NOTCENSORED
Many of you remember from last season CBS basically told us the tribal swap was occurring and then identified what tribe each person was sorted into based on their official previews and we thus put that information up on the article. (and also you may remember back during Survivor: Panama in the preview for the final four episode they literally showed a clip from the final four TC where Aras was wearing the immunity necklace).
Basically, I just want to confirm what we operated on last season was proper (as knowing CBS something similar could easily happen again). We do view CBS's official previews as Reliable Sources, right? Thegreyanomaly (talk) 23:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
* Yes. Though you will want to provide citations to the previews as such information may be questioned. Additionally, you will probably want to err on the side of caution with using the previews as sometimes the previews can be deceptive. Something needs to be blindingly obvious for use from the previews (like say the merged tribe's buff color which, in theory, should be clearly seen). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:27, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Matt
Matt was voted out the first time with 4 votes. He was then voted out the second time with six votes. The first time his name is listed, it says that he recieved 10 votes and the second one says he recide 6 votes in his second chance. Should the first one only say 4. I think one could argue that when Matt returns his tally can grow, but when he is sent to Redemption the first time, he can't accumulate any more votes. Also, the only other people who have returned to the game before this were the two from the Pearl Islands who both recieved 5 votes first time around and then five votes in their second chance. They are listed as five for their first elimination and then 10 for their seond. I believe this is more accurate than the current procedure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:59, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

* Survivor would be ideal but in the context becomes confusing. Redeemed could work. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:32, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
* I think "Survivor" might be too close to the "Sole Survivor" title given to the winner. "Redeemed", perhaps. I think I still like "Returnee". -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Quotes?
Since each episode is named after a quote of a contestant (similar to the amazing race) could we list this into the article someway?--Cooly123 15:16, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
* This has been discussed before in past seasons and the consensus has been not to include it. The source of the title quotes is purely trivia and has not relevance to the game. I continue to oppose such addition to the article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 15:29, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
* I don't see how trivia is irrelevant. The article isn't strictly about the game but about the particular season of the show. If so many people are opposed to this addition, maybe a whole new page that lists the quotes for all seasons is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:05, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
* The quotes are irrelevant to the outcome of the game. Knowing who made the quotation doesn't matter as it isn't mentioned in game and doesn't particularly help the reader understand the game either. However, if a new consensus should be reached to include the source, then it could be added. We shall see if anybody else chimes in with their opinion. But I still hold that the source of the episode quotes is entirely trivia verging on fancruft. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:35, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Voting History
I oppose for getting rid of all the remarks under "Voting History" section and replace it with a CBS' video citation, due to the fact that CBS doesn't allow people outside the states to view the video. I'd rather get a list of remarks instead, since the 'English' version of wikipedia doesn't mean a localization for English spoken nations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:35, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
* Your comment is a bit confusing and I am not sure exactly what you are suggesting. The citation links to the CBS TC Voting clips are there to provide verifiability to the votes because with this season's Redemption Island, the votes are not seen on the broadcast episodes and therefore may be reasonably questioned. The use of the video citations is in no way meant to replace any information. The table's information remains exactly the same as previous seasons, the citations just address the verifiability issue. As for the accessibility of the clips from non-United States IP addresses, per the verifiability policy: principle of verifiability implies nothing about ease of access to sources. A "list of remarks" would not be the same as that does not allow verifiability. However, the video clips could be replaced with a different reliable source that is accessible to a wider audience. If you can find a better source for the voting, you can change the citations. -- Gogo Dodo (talk)
* What I mean is that for the episode number 8, I think it is worth making a remark for a usage of hidden immunity idol by Ralph. It is different from other episode such that he used it on Mike where there is no vote against him (no crossing out name in the table). —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:12, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
* It is not necessary to have a footnote saying that Mike played Ralph's HII. Because no votes were cast against Mike, playing the HII left the vote unaffected. In Ep2, Kristina played her idol, cancelling two votes against her, therefore it affected the vote,and is worth mentioning it in a footnote. Mentioning that Mike played Ralph's idol in the episode summary is enough.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:03, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
* I honestly think it is kind of obnoxious to have it for every single vote. The citation tags add a lot of width to the columns and it will add up in the long run. I think it might be more efficient if we just put a note at the bottom saying the information comes from the Tribal Council Voting videos on the CBS website. MarkMc1990 (talk) 21:03, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
* With the votes not being seen like they have in past seasons, I think the citations are necessary. In the grand scheme of things, the amount of space taken up by the characters of the citation links are fairly small compared to the rest of the table width. Removing the inline citations is not going make the width shrink dramatically. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:14, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
* In my opinion, like MarkMc1990 said, the citations make do make the width of the columns pretty wide. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal, however if you're really worried about the width, you could put all the citations in the row that just says "Vote" (its right underneath the "Name // n/n votes" row).<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:50, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
^ Preview of what I'm thinking we could do so the columns aren't so wide: <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest that the voting history be arranged on how the castaways finished/exited finally on the game (eg. Mike is 6th, Matt is 7th, and Grant is 8th) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rushes7 (talk • contribs) 07:42, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Info on the new setup of Redemption Island

Any info ? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:35, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
* I don't understand why you think the duels would have to have ended just because there are 3 players. The game already has individual challenges with more than 2 players. LarryJeff (talk) 14:14, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
* It's probably just best to wait a week to do anything and see what happens in the next episode—whether to show two people eliminated in a single duel, two back-to-back duels, or something even wackier. —C.Fred (talk) 15:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
* I added in the next episode title since it is now available. I purposefully left the Challenger column unfilled since we don't know how the Duel will play out. However, I imagine that somebody will come along and add in Mike and David in some combination or another. I think the column should be left empty until next week when we learn how the Duel or Duels will be done. I'm tempted to add an inline comment to leave the cell empty, but I have this funny feeling it will be ignored. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
* Very interesting to see lots of anticipation about the Survivor. We're all eager to see if future vote-outs will be sent to Redemption Island without any further one-on-one challenges. The best thing to do is Stay Tuned. –BuickCenturyDriver 21:02, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Finish order
I probably should have posted this first instead of reverting again, but I didn't, so here I am posting...
My opinion on the Finish order is that it should be the order in how they finish (i.e., total days in the game and with the potential to be Sole Survivor), not how they got voted out at TC. In this case, David would be listed after Sarita since his finish order is 12th (happens to match List of Survivor (U.S. TV series) contestants). The reason I have this opinion is that "Finish" is well, the castaway's finish order. David is out of the game, he's not coming back, he has no chance of coming back, therefore he finished 12th. For the three castaways on RI, they are not truly finished in the game therefore they can finish in any position 11th or better. Say for example, Matt loses the next RI Duel, did he finish 11th ahead of David or did he really finish 12th ahead of Sarita? It makes no sense that he finished 12th ahead of Sarita because he had more days in game for the win than David. An example of precedence is Survivor: Pearl Islands and Burton. He got voted out 4th, came back, but made it to the 5th jury member. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
* Well, I got reverted again without further discussion here or even an edit summary. Since I am verging on WP:3RR, I will defer from changing it again. I still think listing David in the middle of the current RI inhabitants is wrong. Input from other editors would be appreciated. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:20, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
* Agree with you on the order, but not with your Pearl Islands example. It's a different situation. What happened in Pearl Islands is more like Matt coming back to the game from Redemption Island--he gets listed 2x, just like Lil and Burton on Pearl Islands. David's case is different--he never came back into a tribe. But, like I said, I agree with you on the order. All contestants losing at RI should be listed in the order they lost on RI, not by the order they were voted out. LarryJeff (talk) 20:28, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
* I agree with the Pearl Island things. I was just looking for an example from the U.S. series.
* On a related note, there have also been several edits to move the "1st Jury Member" into the RI status column instead of the Finish column. I think that the jury membership should be listed in the Finish column because it is related to the castaways' finish order. Jury membership is not a consolation prize of RI. The RI status column should only be used for things related directly to RI: Losers, Winners, and Current Inhabitants. Is the current four lines for David hard to read? Yes, but moving the "1st Jury Member" to the RI status is the wrong fix. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:30, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
* Jury Membership IS a consolation prize, therefore it should be listed under Redemption Island status. The player was not eliminated from the game until losing the Redemption Island Challenge, and was sent to jury after his/her defeat. On top of that, it is too congested to have the different dates of when the castaway was voted out AND eliminated from the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)
* No, jury membership is not strictly consolation prize of RI as if it was, then all of the previous RI losers would be on the jury. While the new RI losers will go to the jury, losing at RI does not equal jury. It also seems likely that RI will end before the jury is completely filled. As I stated before, I agree that the Finish cell is cluttered, but moving the jury membership to the RI status is not the solution. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:46, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
* Let's say Matt returns to the game for a second time. Would we list him three times (between Francesca/Russell, between Sarita/David, and in whatever place he ultimately finishes in)? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
By the same logic that we list him 2x now then, yes, if he comes back from RI again he would have to be listed a 3rd time. LarryJeff (talk) 16:35, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
* If the table is being arranged by finish order and how long people were elligible to win the game, should Matt's first listing be in between Sarita and David? I think that makes more sense, as otherwise Matt's first listing is the only one being listed by when he was voted off whilst all the others are all in order of how they finished on redemption island. -- 027huds (talk) 23:57, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
* No. That is the same thing as previously discussed. Matt's first listing special case, hence the italics of his name. Matt's true listing is his listing currently after David. If you really want to strictly go with finish order/days eligible then Matt's first listing after Francesca would not be listed, but then people would wonder what happened to Matt on the second vote. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:19, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Jury Member listing location
I brought this up in the middle of the discussion above, but I think it might have gotten lost in the discussion. Since I got reverted again, I thought I would break out this related topic so that a consensus can be reached for the cell to used for the "1st Jury Member" and subsequent listings. I propose that the "1st Jury Member" belongs in the Finish column as that is part of the finish. It does not belong in the Redemption Island Status column as the jury membership is not strictly part of RI. It is not a consolation prize for losing on RI as if it was, then everybody would be a jury member. In previous seasons, the jury status has been in the Finish column. I agree that the Finish column will get rather cluttered looking, but I contend that moving the jury membership to the RI status column is not the proper solution. I think a discussion should be opened to potential solutions. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
* One option could be to use a "Jury Status" column. The problem with that is that it would make the table extremely wide if there's ever a season with multiple tribal swaps, such as Survivor: Gabon:
<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:31, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
* I think that is a fair idea. I'm a little concerned about making the table wider, but even with an extra column, the table will still narrower than the others. I'm making some assumptions here, but if RI ends before the entire jury is seated and somebody gets voted out straight into the jury, then you can't put the "Nth Jury Member" into the RI status column. Does anybody else have any thoughts on the issue? I suppose we can give it a shot to see how it goes. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:03, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
This is a spoiler, but I believe people have read from leaked call sheets that after the true final 5 have a TC and the tribe pop. goes to four, the RI winner comes back in. I have also heard people figured out from call sheets that there will be a 7 person jury and a final 3. Currently there are 8 people in the game, three on RI and one on the jury, which adds to 12. This means two non-finalists get cut from the jury. My thought is the two people to get voted out at TC5 (the true final 4 + RI winner) and TC4 are straight booted (i.e. no RI stay) and are not part of the jury. (or maybe there are two quitters, who knows) This is probably not satisfactory for WP:RS.
I think for now we should just leave it the way it is with jury number under RI elim. and see how it goes. We can always fix the table after the fact, and there is no guarantee that RI will return next season (my understanding is they film the two seasons back-to-back over summer). Thegreyanomaly (talk) 08:14, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Redesigned Contestants table
Now that the season is over, I thought I would take another shot at redesigning the Contestants table, so here is what I propose. We split the Finish column into Voted Out and Finish. The jury status moves to the Finish column. R.I. is just the winners and losers. I collapsed the table just to cut back on the length of the talk page. I am not proposing that the table be collapsed in the article.
With some work, we can even make the table sortable, which I think actually would help understand the table a bit more. The coding is a mess and a few things need to be tweaked, but it does work:

* I like this new format. The only thing I would change is I would add the overall finishes of the jurors in the "Finish" column. For example, I think it should be something like 1st Jury Member // 12th // Day 25 instead of just 1st Jury Member // Day <IP_ADDRESS>.24 (talk) 19:11, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
* I also agree that this new formatting in either version is an improvement over what is currently in the article. I also like the idea of making the table sortable. I do disagree with <IP_ADDRESS> in that I don't believe that we need to put a true place for the jury members and it would crowd the table up a little more.--Jnorton7558 (talk) 05:34, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
I support this. This will be especially useful given that Redemption Island will return in 23. On a side note, I do hope they make it that returners get automatic immunity for a TC or two, so they don't get voted out immediately.
Thegreyanomaly (talk) 23:49, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
* Sounds like we have the beginning of a consensus favoring the sortable version. One thing I didn't fix was the sorting order of the Returnees in the R.I. column. Should they be sorted with the losers by their days or kept separate like they are now? I think I favor sorting with the losers by days. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:28, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
* Putting them in by the days sounds is what I would think makes more sense. Also a thought, is it possible to make it so that when we sort by the Voted Out column with the 1st person voted out at the top can we have the final three at the bottom, and therefore on the top when you sort the other direction? Just a thought. If needed I'm sure I could do it after it gets put on the page :) --Jnorton7558 (talk) 05:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
* Okay, I changed the sortable table so that the returnees are sorted by the day they returned. I think I fixed the Voted Out column as you suggested. I also set the R.I. and Finish columns the same way for the grayed out cells. Is that what you were asking for? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
* Looks great to me. Thanks :)--Jnorton7558 (talk) 06:19, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks to all who participated in the redesign. The new table is now in place. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:53, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, I have to put my two cents in, as a reader, I want at the least the 'Voted Out' Column to have 1st VOTED OUT, so if we could just add tthat back to originality, and leave it that would be wonderful! Kiwi_Jaden — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
* Adding in "Voted Out" to the cells is redundant as it is already labeled in the column header. It is unnecessary clutter. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:40, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Individual Challenge Record
I was wondering how the number of challenges was calculated in this statement. Also, if this is going to stay included shouldn't it be source since it wasn't announced on the show.
By my count in a single season these are the challenge counts for the 3 of them. (According to the tables here on Wikipedia)
* Rob:
* Redemption Island: 4 Immunity, 0 Reward
* Heroes vs. Villains: 1 Immunity pre-merge, 0 Reward
* All-Stars: 4 Immunity, 1 Solo reward, 1 team reward post merge
* Marquesas: 0 for both
* Terry:
* Panama: 5 Immunity, 2 Solo rewards, 2 team reward post merge
* Colby:
* Heroes vs. Villains: 0 Immunity, 1 team reward post merge
* All-Stars: 0 for both
* Australian Outback: 5 Immunity, 2 Solo rewards, 1 team reward post merge
Here are the counts for over the contestants in any Survivor competition:
* Rob: 8 Immunity, 1 Immunity pre-merge, 1 Solo reward, 1 team reward post merge
* 11 total (10 without the team reward post merge)
* Terry: 5 Immunity, 2 Solo rewards, 2 team reward post merge
* 9 total (7 without the team rewards post merge)
* Colby: 5 Immunity, 2 Solo rewards, 1 team reward post merge
* 8 total (7 without the team reward post merge)
Links to the season pages for ease of use:
Survivor: Panama, Survivor: The Australian Outback, Survivor: All-Stars, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Survivor: Redemption Island, and Survivor: Marquesas
Jnorton7558 (talk) 07:55, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
* It is pretty trivia like and original research, so I removed it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:12, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
Combining the two Matt sections and two Andrea sections in contestant table
Could we combine the their things in the contestant table? Like this one: http://survivor.wikia.com/wiki/Survivor:_Redemption_Island It looks much better, because it looks like there were 11 contestants on Ometepe and only 9 on Zapetara. It's only a suggestion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
* The current format was hashed out during the season (see discussion a few sections above) and the following season. The double listing is to show where the two were originally voted out and when they were voted out again. Without it, it doesn't show the entire history of the game. Yes, Redemption Island made a mess of the table, but this was the consensus for the table format. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Microdosing Marijuana: Exploring the Benefits and Methods
Microdosing marijuana involves consuming very small, sub-therapeutic doses of the cannabis plant to achieve subtle effects without the full psychoactive experience. This practice has gained popularity for its potential benefits and minimal side effects. Here’s an exploration of the benefits and methods of microdosing marijuana:
Benefits of Microdosing Marijuana:
1. Enhanced Focus and Creativity: Some users report increased focus, creativity, and productivity when microdosing marijuana. It may help individuals stay engaged in tasks without the impairing effects associated with higher doses.
2. Pain Management: Microdosing may provide mild pain relief for conditions like chronic pain or headaches without the strong intoxicating effects of higher doses.
3. Stress and Anxiety Reduction: For some, microdosing can help reduce stress and anxiety without causing excessive sedation or paranoia.
4. Improved Mood: Microdosing may enhance mood, helping individuals feel more relaxed and content without the intense euphoria or mood swings associated with larger doses.
5. Enhanced Social Interactions: Small doses of marijuana might help some individuals feel more sociable and relaxed in social settings.
Methods of Microdosing Marijuana:
1. Edibles: Edibles are a common choice for microdosing. You can prepare or purchase edibles with precise, small amounts of THC, making it easier to control the dosage. Start with a low dose (usually around 2.5mg of THC) and gradually increase if needed.
2. Tinctures: Tinctures are liquid extracts of cannabis that can be administered sublingually (under the tongue). They allow for precise dosing and quick onset. Start with a few drops and wait for the effects to gauge your tolerance.
3. Capsules: Cannabis capsules come in standardized doses, making it easy to control your intake. You can find capsules with varying ratios of THC to CBD, which may be suitable for different purposes.
4. Vaporizing: Vaporizing involves inhaling vaporized cannabis through a device. It allows for precise control over the dosage and provides a rapid onset of effects. Use a vaporizer with temperature control to avoid overheating and releasing more THC than intended.
5. Low-THC Strains: Choose strains with lower THC content and higher CBD content. These strains are less likely to induce strong psychoactive effects, making microdosing more manageable.
6. Keep a Journal: Maintain a journal to track your experiences with microdosing. Note the dose, method, effects, and any side effects to help you find your optimal microdose.
Important Considerations:
1. Start Low: When microdosing, it’s crucial to start with the lowest possible dose and gradually increase until you achieve the desired effects. Everyone’s tolerance is different.
2. Avoid Impairment: The goal of microdosing is to avoid impairment while reaping the benefits. If you feel impaired or uncomfortable, reduce your dose.
3. Legality: Be aware of the legal status of marijuana in your area and comply with local laws and regulations.
4. Individual Variability: Responses to microdosing can vary significantly from person to person. What works for one individual may not work the same way for another.
5. Consult a Professional: If you’re using marijuana for medicinal purposes, consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on dosing and potential interactions with other medications.
Microdosing marijuana can be a viable option for those seeking the potential benefits of cannabis without the strong psychoactive effects. However, responsible use and careful dosing are essential to ensure a positive and safe experience.

"The war was the act of a fool," snarled Herr Steinemann. "In a few years more of peace, we should have beaten those swine.…"
"And now—they have beaten you." The Count smiled slightly. "Let us admit that the war was the act of a fool if you like, but as men of business we can only deal with the result … the result, gentlemen, as it concerns us. Both you gentlemen are sufficiently patriotic to resent the presence of that army at Cologne I have no doubt. And you, Mr. Hocking, have no love on personal grounds for the English.… But I am not proposing to appeal to financiers of your reputation on such grounds as those to support my scheme.… It is enough that your personal predilections run with and not against what I am about to put before you—the defeat of England … a defeat more utter and complete than if she had lost the war.…"
His voice sank a little, and instinctively his three listeners drew closer.
"Don't think that I am proposing this through motives of revenge merely. We are business men, and revenge is only worth our while if it pays. This will pay. I can give you no figures, but we are not of the type who deal in thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. There is a force in England which, if it be harnessed and led properly, will result in millions coming to you.… It is present now in every nation—fettered, inarticulate, unco-ordinated.… It is partly the result of the war—the war that the idiots have waged.… Harness that force, gentlemen, co-ordinate it, and use it for your own ends.… That is my proposal. Not only will you humble that cursed

Running the Environment Management Hub
This section discusses how to:
Before you run the Environment Management agent, you must first ensure that it's properly configured in the hub's configuration.properties file.
Running the Hub on a Single Server
On a single server, the PSEMHUB starts within PIA, so use the command you use for your web server to start PIA.
Running the Hub on Multiple Servers
Environment Management also supports multi-server installs. However, the Environment Management hub does not support clustering. The Environment Management hub persists metadata into the file system on the J2EE container. This is not replicated in a clustered environment. You experience erroneous behavior when you attempt to run the Environment Management hub in a clustered environment.
The Environment Management hub deals with large binary files that Change Assistant sends to the agents by using the hub as the intermediary dispatcher. This can create significant overhead to a production system that is running on a multi-server clustered environment. Therefore, PSEMHUB must always run on separate servers dedicated to the Environment Management hub requests.
Starting PSEMHUB on Multiple Servers on WebLogic
In a multiple server configuration, the PSEMHUB server listens on port 8081, by default.
Use the following steps to start the WebLogic hub:
1. Configure the Environment Management hub to run on a server that is different from the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture servers.
2. Configure the reverse proxy to redirect any network traffic with a uniform resource identifier (URI) of PSEMHUB to the server running the Environment Management hub.
On the machine from which the RPS application runs, access the HttpProxyServlet folder.
Select PSEMHUBHttpProxyServlet and click the Init Params tab. Replace WebLogicHost , WebLogicPort with the host and port from which your PSEMHUB server listens.
Note: Save your new configuration.
Use the following commands in sequence to start the Environment Management hub in a multi-server installation:
...\StartWebLogicAdmin.cmd (start the admin server)
...\StartManagedWebLogic.cmd RPS
...\StartManagedWebLogic.cmd PSEMHUB
Then use the following URL to access PSEMHUB: http://RPS host:RPS port/PSEMHUB/hub.
Note: For a single server install using a reverse proxy, this additional step needs to be performed in order for the Environment Management hub to be able to process the PSEMHUB requests. You need to edit: PIA_HOME\webserv\domain\applications\HttpProxyServlet\WEB-INF\web.xml. In the PSEMHUBHttpProxyServlet section, change the default port from 8001 to 80.
The following is a sample configuration:
- <servlet>
<servlet-name>PSEMHUBHttpProxyServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.proxy.HttpProxyServlet</servlet-class>
- <init-param>
<param-name>WebLogicHost</param-name>
<param-value>localhost</param-value>
</init-param>
- <init-param>
<param-name>WebLogicPort</param-name>
<param-value>80</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
Start the WebSphere Hub on Multiple Servers
If you are using multiple servers, then you need to dedicate one of them to handle PSEMHUB requests. All PSEMHUB requests should be routed to the same server instance. The following steps show the configuration changes that are required for this purpose:
1. Edit your reverse proxy's plug-in configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml) then make sure that only one server is dedicated to PSEMHUB.
2. Remove this line from all other servers: <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/PSEMHUB/*" />. The server you chose for PSEMHUB should only service PSEMHUB requests so that it can run independently and can be shut down without affecting the rest of the system.
3. Restart the reverse proxy using : IBM_proxy_base_directory\bin\apachectl restart.
4. Restart all the servers. For Windows, the directory is: WebSphere_Appserver_directory\bin\startServer.bat serverX. For UNIX, the directory is: WebSphere_Appserver_directory/bin/startServer.sh serverX.
5. Use the following URL to access PSEMHUB http://reverse_proxy_host:reverse_proxy_port/PSEMHUB/hub.
The reverse proxy's listen port is defined in IBM_reverse_proxy_base_directory\conf\httpd.conf.
Stopping the PSEMHUB on Multiple Servers on WebLogic
In a multiple server environment, target the server which is dedicated to PSEMHUB then execute PIA_HOME\webserv\domain\stopWebLogic.cmd PSEMHUB on Windows and PS_HOME/webserv/domain/stopWebLogic.sh PSEMHUB on UNIX. This will only stop the server servicing PSEMHUB requests. The other servers will still be up processing PIA requests.
The following is a sample XML configuration file for the WebLogic multi-server installation:
1.1 Sample XML configuration file for WebLogic Multiserver installation
<UriGroup Name="default_host_server1_st-lnx06_Cluster_URIs">
<Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/*" />

- <UriGroup Name="default_host_server1_pt-ibm15_Cluster_URIs">
<Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid"
Name="/PSEMHUB/*" />
</UriGroup>
Stopping PSEMHUB on Multiple Servers on WebSphere
In a multiple server environment, target the server which is dedicated to PSEMHUB then execute WebSphere_Appserver_directory\bin\stopServer.bat serverX on Windows and WebSphere_Appserver_directory/bin/stopServer.sh serverX on UNIX. This will only stop the server servicing PSEMHUB requests. The other servers will still be up processing PIA requests

“I’ve got one thing on my mind: increasing our majority”: GOP accepts Roy Moore
He’s questioned Keith Ellison’s (D-MN) standing in government for being a Muslim, said he believes homosexuality should be illegal, and has twice been removed from his seat on Alabama’s top court. Now Alabama Senate frontrunner Roy Moore — who earned his nomination in large part by trashing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — has traveled to Washington to win the hearts and pockets of Republicans. Per tradition as a Republican nominee, Moore attended the Senate GOP’s weekly policy luncheon Tuesday, briefly addressing the body he will very likely be joining next year. (Moore is up 17 points in the polls less than two months from Election Day.) Most Republican senators endorsed Moore’s primary opponent, incumbent Sen. Luther Strange, but now, in the name of party and country, they’ve changed their tune. He has a fundraiser scheduled with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Wednesday and the full weight of the Republican establishment behind him. “He’s the nominee. I’m a Republican. I support the party.” Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) said. Asked to answer to Moore’s comments about Islam and homosexuality, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) chalked it up to the pressure of campaigning. “I don’t believe everything I read, particularly on the internet, that’s number one,” Kennedy said. “Number two, campaigns are — how can I put this — it’s not beanbag. Campaigns get tough, and people say things and allegedly say things and sometimes they shouldn’t say ’em and sometimes they didn’t even say ’em.” Most of Moore’s controversial beliefs predate the election. Walking through the Capitol Building Tuesday carrying a bag that had “Freedom” printed on the side, Moore wouldn’t answer if he still stood behind past claims about Ellison and Islam. He called it a "very complicated question" and he’d "address it" at another time. In his visit to Washington, Moore has met with McConnell and the GOP conference. The Republican establishment, despite pouring hundreds of thousands into Strange’s campaign in the Republican primary, has now turned its focus to raising funds for Moore. And as for Moore’s controversial and offensive comments? “We don’t have to agree with everything they say,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the Republican Party’s majority whip, said after the lunch. “As a matter of fact, I don’t agree with some of the things he’s said. But he’s the nominee and I’d rather him than the Democrat.” Only two months ago, Cornyn was expressing concern that Moore wouldn’t be a team player. “Look at his track record,” Cornyn said in September. There’s no question that Moore represents a religious far-right fringe in the party, as Jeff Stein writes for Vox: The controversial Moore is best known for his embrace of Christian theocratic principles, or a system of government where Christian laws are the basis of all law. In the past, he’s referred to the Christian God as "the only source of our law, liberty and government,” said that the First Amendment did not apply to Muslims because it was based on Jesus’s words, and hinted that homosexuality should be a capital crime. He’s also claimed that there are portions of the American Midwest living under Sharia law. “I mean I don’t agree with that at all and I don’t know him, but one of things I have found there is probably no senator I agree with 100 percent on any issue here,” Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) said — saying his support for Moore was because of the “broader agenda.” Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said he didn’t know anything about Moore. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Bob Corker (R-TN) said they were going to stay out of the race. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who announced his retirement with a scathing indictment of the GOP’s direction on immigration and Islam, said Moore’s positions are concerning. Moore’s visit to the Capitol came the same day Republicans took the Senate floor in the name of religious liberties — decrying the Democratic senators who questioned whether judicial nominee Amy Barrett’s Catholic faith would impact her legal decisions in a confirmation hearing in early October. “Today in this Senate, we have seen repeatedly nominees grilled not for their qualifications, not for their record, but for their faith,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said at a press conference this week. Asked whether he stands by Moore’s statements about Islam, Cruz — who has thrown his support behind Moore — said only, “I don’t know every comment made by every candidate for office but I believe we should be following the Constitution of the United States, and Article Six of the Constitution says there shouldn’t be any religious tests.” Republicans did not offer the same censuring for Moore. “We want him to join us in the United States Senate,” Kennedy said. All of this has been pushed aside for party — and for the agenda the party has so far had some difficulty in executing. “I know very little about Judge Moore, but I just look at what’s going on the Senate right now; we have unprecedented obstruction,” Sullivan said. “Having additional members in the Senate along the lines of what Luther Strange was focused on — what would concern the party as a whole is if we had someone who joining forces with the minority leader to obstruct the agenda.” His sentiment was widely shared. “I’ve got one thing on my mind: increasing our majority,” Kennedy said. “And I have every expectation that Judge Moore will be a productive member of the United States Senate and a productive member of the Republican conference. And I truly believe that.” Moore is likely to replace Republican Sen. Luther Strange, who was appointed to sit in now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s seat. But unlike Strange, who sided closely with Republican leadership and the president, Moore is less likely to be a reliable vote for Republican Party. Moore campaigned on being a thorn in the Republican Party’s side. He said he wouldn’t have voted for the Republican Obamacare repeal bill, and his support from fringe anti-establishment conservatives like Steve Bannon indicates his agenda won’t line up with the GOP’s. In an email to fundraisers in September, he pitched his candidacy like this: "Judge Roy Moore in the U.S. Senate means the END of Mitch McConnell's reign as Majority Leader."

Born in Oklahoma City, Clarkson moved to Lawrence, Kansas at age 3 where he would grow up above one of the town's greatest restaurants, The Colonial Tea Room. His grandmother, Fannie Murphy, owned the restaurant with his mother, Mary, working as a hostess and greeting guests in the dining room. The restaurant drew Kansas professors, local politicians, and businessmen, exposing the young Clarkson to those intellects daily.
Meeting the inventor of basketball
In 1939 at age 7, Clarkson and his friends snuck through the University of Kansas heating system to find their way into Robinson Gymnasium where the Kansas basketball team practiced. One day, the boys found the team in the middle of a workout, so they took a seat along the wall and watched coach Phog Allen instruct his team. When the coach spotted the boys during a water break, he introduced them to another guest at his practice. "Boys, why don't you meet the other gentleman who's watching the game?" Clarkson recalls Allen saying to them. Then he introduced them to Allen's old coach, the man who created the game: James Naismith.
College years
Clarkson continued his photography through his adolescence to the Journalism school at his local college, University of Kansas. Through his college career, he was able to follow coach Phog Allen and his team on many road trips for games. In addition, the late North Carolina coach Dean Smith was a player on that same basketball team. The team enjoyed having Rich there to document their story and Rich would often room with the 12th player on the team, Dean Smith.
Rich later documented The University of Kansas toward their 1952 National Championship where Kansas defeated St. John's 80-63 for the title. In 1956, Clarkson graduated from the School of Journalism at KU. When Wilt Chamberlain arrived in Lawrence to begin his collegiate basketball career, Rich had just graduated from the University of Kansas and was putting together the start of his photojournalistic career. It was at this time the most prestigious of sports publications had just arrived on the scene: Sports Illustrated. He took the occasion when preseason picture day arrived to photograph the 7-foot Wilt from every angle—jumping, dunking, rebounding and just standing under the basket. This was to be his first introduction to SI.
But as he was finishing photographing Wilt, it seemed that nothing Clarkson was doing made him look as tall and imposing as he was in real life. His last-minute idea was to pose him seated, tying his shoes. Wilt's waist was unusually high and his legs very long. When he sat in the folding chair Rich brought onto the court, he finally made him look tall in a picture. He then packaged up a set of prints and dropped them into the mail to Sports Illustrated. As luck would have it, his package arrived on the desk of picture editor Jerry Astor on the very morning that managing editor Andre Laguerre had decided to do a Chamberlain story. Instead of sending a photographer from New York to Lawrence, they used his picture.
Three months later, Astor called to give Rich his first big-time magazine assignment to photograph the Kansas-Iowa State game in Lawrence for Sports Illustrated.
Days at The Topeka Capital-Journal
After graduation, he served as an information services officer in the Air Force for two years before becoming director of photography of the Topeka Capital-Journal, a position he held for 21 years during which time the newspaper became a recognized national leader in use of photography. Eleven members of that newspaper staff were then or eventually honored as Newspaper of Magazine Photographers of the Year for the nation. And through all this, Clarkson remained a contract photographer for Sports Illustrated magazine covering regional and national games.
Just a few of the most notable photographers he mentored during his time at Topeka are the following:
* Chris Johns, chief content officer for National Geographic Society
* Brian Lanker, Pulitzer Prize winner and Life photographer
* David Alan Harvey, Magnum Photos member and National Geographic photographer
* Jim Richardson, National Geographic photographer
* Susan Biddle, White House photographer and staff photographer at The Washington Post
* Susan Ford, American author and daughter of former U.S. President Gerald Ford
Publishing
He has been a contributor to numerous publications on photojournalism and sports and has co-authored six books including “The Jim Ryun Story” with Cordner Nelson in 1967, “Sooner” with Bill Bruns in 1972, “Knight With the Hoosiers” with Bob Hammel in 1975, “Montreal ‘76” with Bill Bruns in 1976, “The Final Four” with Billy Reed in 1988 and “Silver Knight” with Bob Hammel in 1996. He produced an entirely new version of the book, The Final Four” with the 60th anniversary of the tournament in 2001. He was the compiling editor of “The Kansas Century: 100 Years of Jayhawk Basketball” in 1997 and “World Champion Broncos” in 1998. He was director of photography for the book, “A Day in the Life of America” in 1986 and was a photographer on four other “Day in the Life” books. He produced the 25th anniversary commemorative book for the Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado in 2005.
In 1989, he was producer-coordinator for the Brian Lanker project, “ I Dream A World: Portraits of Black Women who Changed America,” which included both a book, now in its 15th printing, and two traveling exhibitions. It became the second best-selling picture book ever in America. Portfolios of pictures were reprinted in the National Geographic, U. S. News & World Report and LIFE magazines in addition to major display in many American newspapers.
Clarkson Creative have produced 23 other hardback books ranging in subject from “Notre Dame Football Today” to “Small Town America.” Clarkson was a principal designer and curator for the NCAA Hall of Champions, a 12,000-square foot museum of college sports memorabilia and pictures in the NCAA headquarters building formerly in suburban Kansas City.

Is your cpu overclocked during the install? I seem to remember having problems installing os's with my celery o/c'ed. So, intall the os with the cpu at the stock mhz and once you've got the os up and running turn up the speed of your celery.

I'm a Haskell newbie, and I think I understand monads and their mechanics (at least for the list, state, maybe, writer and reader monads), but I want to understand why they have been defined the way they have, or why they have to be the way they are, to aid in my intuition in thinking about them.
Specifically, what is it about reading that makes the reader or state monads need to be functions (i.e. \s -> (a,s) ), and not just data like the writer monad (i.e. (w,a) )?
Also, could a writer monad be used as a state monad, where the log is used as a string representation of state, as long as the MonadPlus functionality is not used? Is the monadic function used with writer monads allowed to look at the current log and modify if at will, or is it only the writer monad's bind function that is allowed to look at the log?
Also, why are monads defined in terms of monadic functions that with type a -> m b, instead of with type m a -> mb? What's so natural about a function going from a base type to a monad wrapped type?
Thanks for your answers.

The state and reader monad both depend on the value of whatever state we're interested in. We need to be able to access it otherwise how could we write something like
foo = do
i <- get
return $ if i == 1 then 2 else 3
So our state monad naturally looks like something that takes in a state, does stuff, and produces a new one.
Likewise with the reader monad, we take in some state, magic, and produce an output (but no new state since it's Reader s a <=> s -> a.
Now this is very different than the writer monad. In the writer, we don't care about what's been stuck in the state previously, all we want to do is take our current state, and jam some more stuff in there. Because our state is a monoid, we have a guaranteed start state mempty and a way to jam stuff in mappend. This means that we can "run" each computation in an empty context so to speak and just fuse the outputs together and get identical results.
Ok, now there's about a few questions so I'll go one at a time
1. If the writer monad had access to the previously written results, then it's going to look like s -> (s, a) which is the state monad :) So yes, whatever you could do with the state monad could be done with this augmented writer.
In fact both the StateT and WriterT monads have MonadPlus instances so I'm not sure what you're getting at here..
2. Since there isn't an arbitrary function m a -> a, we need some way to unwrap a computation to view the results ala >>=, and since return :: a -> m a makes it trivial to go the other way, it's more general to go from plain to monadic value. Otherwise we'd just have these useless IO String, STM Int and whatnot that we couldn't depend on for the rest of our computation since fmap won't let us hoist in more side effects.
5
They're defined differently because they do different things.
Take the reader monad. Start by thinking about what it means, not about how it works.
A computation in the reader monad is one that depends on an extra piece of information, the reader's "environment". So a Reader Env Int is an Int that depends on the environment (of type Env; if I evaluate it with one environment I'll get one Int value, and if I evaluate it with a different environment I'll get another Int value. If I don't have an environment I can't know what value the Reader env Int is.
Now, what kind of value will give me an Int if I give it an Env? A function of type Env -> Int! So that generalises to e -> a being a monad for each e (with a being the type parameter of the monad; (->) e if you like the prefix notation).
Now lets think about the meaning of the writer monad. A computation in the writer monad produces a value, but it also produces an extra value "on the side": the "log" value. And when we bind together a series of monadic computations from in the writer monad, the log values will be combined (if we require the log type to be a monoid, then this guarantees log values can be combined with no other knowledge about what they are). So a Writer Log Int is an Int that also comes with value of type Log.
That sounds a lot like simply a pair: (Log, Int). And that generalises to (w, a) being a monad for each w (with a being the type parameter of the monad). The monoid constraint on w that guarantees we can combine the log values also means that we have an obvious starting value (the identity element for the monoid: mempty), so we don't need to provide anything to get a value out of a value in the writer monad.
The reasoning for the state monad to be s -> (a, s) is actually pretty much a combination of the above; a State S Int is an Int that both depends on an S value (as the reader depends on the environment) and also produces an S value, where binding together a sequence of state computations should result in each one "seeing" the state produced by the previous one. A value that depends on a state value is a function of the state value; if the output comes "along with" a new state value then we need a pair.
2
Also, why are monads defined in terms of monadic functions that with type a -> m b, instead of with type m a -> m b? What's so natural about a function going from a base type to a monad wrapped type?
(I took the libery of adding a space between m and b in mb).
See, that's what makes it a monad. Without this, we already have functions a -> b and a link from these to f a -> f b (this link is called "functor", and obeys the laws for fmap). But functor only gives you a projection of one "world" (a category) into the other - so that whatever laws hold in the first world, they also hold in the second world (for example, if a + b == c, then f a (f +) f b == f c). The monad gives you a bridge between the "worlds".
Also, you don't have to define the monad in terms of behaviour with functions of type a -> m b, but one minimal specification of a monad tells you how >>=, return, id and (.) relate. It is possible to define the monad using >=>, return, id and (.), or using join, return, id and (.) - you see, it doesn't really matter which function to pick. It turns out, >>= is convenient for chaining.
0
Specifically, what is it about reading that makes the reader or state monads need to be functions (i.e. \s -> (a,s) ), and not just data like the writer monad (i.e. (w,a) )?
Functions are just data. These just happen to be the types which fit the desired semantics best.
Also, could a writer monad be used as a state monad, where the log is used as a string representation of state, as long as the MonadPlus functionality is not used?
You couldn't pass non-empty initial state, and couldn't modify it other than by appending values. If you do change this, you get the standard state monad (except for strings only).
Is the monadic function used with writer monads allowed to look at the current log and modify if at will, or is it only the writer monad's bind function that is allowed to look at the log?
You'll note the Writer monad has a tell function which actually adds new data to the log.
Also, why are monads defined in terms of monadic functions that with type a -> m b, instead of with type m a -> m b? What's so natural about a function going from a base type to a monad wrapped type?
I think the best answer is "because a -> m b turns out to be more useful".

Rh names—some have called it by the term of Deity (under many titles); others have called it "The Infinite and Eternal Energy"; others have tried to call it "Matter"—but all have acknowledged its existence. It is self-evident—it needs no argument.
In these lessons we have followed the example of some of the world's greatest thinkers, both ancient and modern—the Hermetic Masters—and have called this Underlying Power —this Substantial Reality—by the Hermetic name of "THE ALL," which term we consider the most comprehensive of the many terms applied by Man to THAT which transcends names and terms.
We accept and teach the view of the great (Hermetic thinkers of all times, as well as of those illumined souls who have reached higher planes of being, both of whom assert that the inner nature of THE ALL is UNKNOWABLE. This must be so, for naught by THE ALL itself can comprehend its own nature and being.

Simply take a look at the actual rating that the customers have left, as well as their comments.
But the reality is, not only adults need it. Youngsters as of late must have a computer. Not solely are they growing their technical abilities, but additionally they need it for school, as the computer is a part of the curriculum. Mother and father need to decide in relation to that – do they let the little ones use the college computers or purchase one for their youngsters. Utilizing the grownup’s computer has just a few disadvantages after all – kids aren’t that apt on the technology and might delete an necessary recordsdata by mistake, destroy a weeks work, or just get to info they are not purported to see or read. One other problem is the sharing, what happens when both mum or dad and little one need to use the computer? So more often than not mother and father buy their kids one other computer. It normally is a laptop, as a result of it’s simply moved and never that heavy. However here comes the inevitable query – how much should they spend on the gadget?

The event of the MAC computers evolved from work finished at the PARC Research Center in California. This result in the event of a graphical interface and finally to the introduction of the Macintosh computer in 1983. This was a major development in computers and helped to set the stage for a lot of other computers to follow.
three. The Compact Netbook – These laptops have a display dimension of 13.three” and smaller. They’re sometimes referred to as “netbooks”. I wouldn’t advocate this measurement unless you’ve gotten a desktop or massive laptop computer as your predominant computer. The compact netbooks have much less reminiscence, smaller arduous drive capability, fewer jacks, and most significantly, no DVD functionality. That is actually a drawback on the subject of installing software from a DVD. Even Norton or different utilities require insertion of a DVD. If you happen to do want to put in software, you do have the option of purchasing an exterior DVD drive to do these duties. The compact netbooks do usually have constructed-in wi-fi so you’ll be able to hook as much as the web.
The machine ran continuously for 15 years.
It is of utmost significance to know another rudimentary details about computer bios. Mainly, the PC bios must start up first upon turning the computer on checking hardware with its Power On Self Check or PUT UP. With the whole lot in the system operating correctly, the BIOS directs the OS into the random access reminiscence or RAM of your computer. The system firmware stores system knowledge like the time, date, and system configuration inside the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor or CMOS.

Hematite through a stereo microscope, tlwmdbt/Flickr
The world we live in is built atop the industrial innovations made possible by oxides and their counterpart, hydroxides. Quite literally, in fact—steel belongs in this family! They are also plentiful—the second most common constituent of Earth’s crust.
If you could peer into the oxide family of minerals at a molecular scale, you would find structures of tightly knit oxygen atoms with metal or semimetal atoms woven in the spaces between. There are two groups of oxides: simple oxides, with one type of metal or semimetal added, and complex oxides where more than one metal can be integrated into the molecular structure. Their counterparts, the hydroxides, are composed of metals that attach to a highly reactive hydroxide ion (OH). Most hydroxide minerals form at lower temperatures and are softer and less dense than oxides.
While these include the rubies and sapphires (both color varieties of the corundum mineral species), spinel, and chrysoberyl that adorn the crowned heads of royal dignitaries, minerals like chromite (the most important ore of chromium), ilmenite (titanium oxide), and hematite (iron oxide) have provided us with some of the greatest innovations ever created. From cave paintings to satellites, iron oxides in particular have played an important role in the cultural, scientific, and industrial development of civilizations, old and new.
One of the most common and most significant sources of iron is hematite (Fe₂O₃). A simple oxide, its structure is composed of two iron cations attached to three oxygen anions. Hematite forms under various geologic conditions, and so is found in lots of different types of rock. Sometimes it combines with other minerals, such as magnetite (another simple iron oxide) and quartz.
Banded iron formations mark another important deposit of hematite. As cyanobacteria in Earth’s early oceans began to create oxygen over two billion years ago, a reaction occurred between their oxygen byproduct and iron in the oceans. This left layers of dark magnetite and red, hematite-stained chert on the ocean floor, an ever-present reminder of a world just beginning to exhale.
Hematite comes in many forms. Its structure can be flakey or massive, its luster metallic or earthy, and its color dark gray to silver or reddish-brown. It can take a botryoidal form known as a kidney stone. Sometimes flat hematite crystals form flower-like clusters called roses. Regardless of the form it takes, hematite is recognizable by a distinguishable reddish-brown streak that appears when the mineral is struck across a ceramic plate.
This reddish-brown streak also gives insight into the mineral’s cultural significance.
The name hematite is derived from the Greek word for blood, and when crushed, its dark red powder can be used to color everything from bricks to make-up. Prehistoric pigments made from this crushed iron oxide—or red ochre, as it’s known in the art world—adorn the walls of sites such as the Chauvet Cave in France. As art and culture progressed, so did the use of red ochre. For centuries, painters and other artists have used tubes of the pigment to illustrate their ideas. Renaissance artists including Giorgio Vasari used red ochre to decorate the halls of Florence in the 16th Century, and painters such as Johannes Vermeer mixed red ochre into his pictures in 17th Century.
Though humans have been mining hematite and other iron oxides for centuries, contemporary uses for it have developed over the past several decades. We use iron oxides in the production of many household items including mattress springs, vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers. Arguably the most important use of iron oxides today is their use in the production of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon); roughly 98 percent of the iron ore mined in the US is used in steel production.
Without oxides and hydroxides, we could not enjoy views of the Transamerica building (whose foundation is built with steel and concrete) along our skyline, nor could we savor a nice, strong cup of coffee—thank you, espresso machines!

From weaning onwards, it is important to accustom children to a healthy, balanced and varied diet because the preferences and taste experiences that develop as children can affect the food choices of adult life.
Children’s energy needs
The energy (or calorie) requirement represents the amount of energy derived from food that our body needs in order to compensate for its energy expenditure. Children’s energy needs are very different from that of an adult, as it is affected by different factors:
• The speed of body growth: we have seen previously talking about the iron deficiency in children that in the first year of life alone the need for minerals and nutrients in the body of a child doubles, due to the rapid increase in weight and body volume. The fastest growth phase lasts until the end of the second year of life.
• The basal metabolic rate is particularly high: in the first 12 months of life about 85-90% of the caloric intake is used by the body of children to maintain the basal functions and for growth, while only 10-15% is reserved for physical activity.
• The low efficiency of absorption in the intestine.
Because of these factors, it is clear that, in absolute terms, infants need a higher energy supply than adults.
Healthy eating starts with weaning
Once the weaning phase has started, it is very important to start setting the first rules for good and healthy nutrition. Although the child’s taste experiences start from birth, through the mother’s milk (which transmits the first flavours of food ingested by the mother), it is precisely from weaning onwards that the child’s food preferencesdevelop, the same preferences that will then tend to condition his or her food choices in adult life.
It is therefore essential to get children used to varied and healthy foods as soon as possible, also to avoid the onset of food deficiencies related to basic nutritional elements, such as vitamins, minerals and iron (remember that the sideropenia is the most frequent among the food deficiency disorders in children and should not be underestimated).
The basic nutritional elements for children
So what can not be missing in the meals of our children and young people?
• Fruit and Vegetables: at least one portion of fruit and/or vegetables should be present at each meal. In addition, fruit is an excellent snack both in the middle of the morning and during the afternoon.
• Complex carbohydrates: about 50% of the daily calories should come from this type of carbohydrate. A perfect example are the cereals, to be varied often, so not only pasta, but also rice, barley, spelt, oats, buckwheat, couscous.
• Sugars (or simple carbohydrates): it would be preferable to keep them to a minimum as they are already present naturally in many foods. Cakes and biscuits are good if eaten at breakfast, but home-made ones would be preferable. Instead, avoid packaged snacks, soft drinks, sweets, etc..
• Proteins: as in the case of carbohydrates, it is important to vary as much as possible, alternating meat, fish, eggs and legumes.
• Fats: in a balanced diet they cannot be missing, though it is better to choose those of vegetable origin, such as olive oil and dried fruit.
healthy, balanced and varied diet should be composed of about 55-60% carbohydrates30% fats and 10-15% proteins. Although children tend to be repetitive in their choice of food, try to offer them different foods and do not give up at first refusal because tastes change very quickly, a “do not like” today could be the discovery of a new taste tomorrow.
Iron is a fundamental substance for the body: in addition to being the mineral present in greater quantities in the blood, it also plays an important role in physical and cognitive development, especially in the case of children during the growth phase. Not only does iron determine blood quality, it also helps to improve resistance to stress and disease, as it helps the immune response and energy production. In addition, it is involved in the production of haemoglobin and, consequently, in the transport of oxygen in the cells.
Iron deficiency (scientifically referred to as “sideropenia”) is the most common food deficiency disorder , especially among children, and should not be underestimated because it could compromise haemoglobin synthesis.
How does iron deficiency manifest in children and what might it depend on?
What are the signs of iron deficiency? Usually when a child suffers from it it appears less lively, it tends to get tired easily and have problems concentrating.
Age plays a key role in determining a state of deficiency: in the first year of life, a child’s body’s need for iron doubles, due to the rapid increase in weight and body volume. The most critical period is until the age of two, because the youngest children need a large amount of minerals and vitamins for growth.
The right food to avoid iron deficiency during weaning
Breastfed babies do not necessarily need iron supplementation because the baby can take the right amount of iron from breast milk and completely absorb it. For this reason, artificial milks are generally enriched with iron and vitamins.
The problem therefore occurs after the sixth month, when weaning begins and it becomes necessary to ensure the correct nutritional intake through solid foods. Not only is it essential to include iron-rich foods in the child’s diet, but also to know how to make the right combinations, as some foods can reduce or, on the contrary, promote the absorption of the mineral in the body.
The most iron-rich foods are meat, fish, eggs, legumes, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and dried fruit. Vitamin C, when associated with these foods, improves the absorption of iron, while cows’ milk is low in iron.
In the event that diet alone is not able to provide the right amount of iron, it is possible to resort to the use of specific supplements for children, of course after consultation with your paediatrician. Supplements such as the products in the SiderAL® line are specifically formulated for children(SiderAL® Children, SiderAL® Drops or SiderAL® Gold), and thanks to Sucrosomial Technology® guarantee maximum tolerance and greater absorption than traditional oral irons.
In recent years, we have heard more and more about self-weaning: how many mothers are really informed about the subject, or rather, how many are really able to follow this practice correctly in everyday life?
What does “self-weaning” mean and what does it entail?
First of all, let’s have some clarity: instead of self-weaning, it would be more correct to use the term “complementary feeding on demand” (CFD). If though it might sound complicated, the concept is simpler than you think. Basically, the child, starting from about the sixth month, starts to share the meal with his or her parents, choosing to taste the foods that are most appetizing or that he or she prefers, in complete freedom.
No more rigid pediatrician tables to follow, therefore, or foods introduced gradually over the months. The basic idea, very simple, is that the child should start to sit at the table and eat what the family members eat. According to experts, in fact, children are able to regulate themselves and eat what they need and parents, at this stage, only have to respect their pace.
When to start self-weaning
The next question is, okay, but who is going to tell me when to start self-weaning? The answer is simple: your child. And there is no precise age, as it depends on the development of the individual child: some may feel ready at 4 months, others at 6, others even later, around the seventh month. However, there are 4 main signs that it may be time to start setting milk aside:
• When the child is able to sit without help;
• When he or she loses the extrusion reflex that causes children to push out the spoon with their tongue;
• If he or she shows an interest in adult food;
• If he or she is able to communicate the sense of hunger and satiety with his gestures.
Be careful, however, self-weaning does not mean giving the child any food or that the child will eat everything right away. First of all, unlike classic weaning, feeds are not eliminated one at a time following a pattern. It is rather a gradual process: the child chooses (hence the term “complementary feeding on demand”) what to eat from the adults’ table starting with very small tastings, supplemented by the usual dose of milk, and then move gradually to increasingly varied and larger tastings, which will become small portions and finally full meals.
Self-weaning yes, but not for everyone
Goodbye baby food, rice cream and broths, if your child eats the same things as adults, mothers will no longer have to worry about preparing different meals at different times. That makes it all seem very simple. But properly following self-weaning is actually a commitment that involves the whole family. First of all, it is essential to follow a healthy diet based on the principles of balance, variety and moderation. In addition, one must be very careful to ensure the right supply of all nutritional components, because additional breastmilk or bottle is not enough to balance the diet. For this reason, it is advisable in any case to rely on the advice of a good paediatrician, to have precise indications in the preparation of a complete meal.
It is therefore clear that weaning is not for everyone and certainly requires more time, something that not all new mothers have – think for example of all women working outside the home. Therefore, if for various personal reasons it is not possible to follow this type of diet, it is better to rely on a balanced diet, following the meals recommended by pediatricians tables.

Diseases
SLC26A2-related disorders
What Is Sulfate Transporter-Related Osteochondrodysplasia?
Sulfate transporter-related osteochondrodysplasias are a group of inherited diseases caused by mutations in a gene called SLC26A2, which plays a role in cartilage and bone formation. These diseases include achondrogenesis type Ib, diastrophic dysplasia, atelosteogenesis type II, and recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.
Achondrogenesis Type Ib (ACGIb)
ACGIb is a severe skeletal disease that is fatal either before or shortly after birth. Infants born with the disease have extremely short arms, legs, fingers, and toes. The fingers and toes may be rotated inward (clubfoot). Infants with the disease also tend to have flat faces, protruding abdomens, narrow chests, and short necks that show thickening of the soft tissue. Many are born with hernias.
Fetuses with ACGIb are often in the breech position, “upside-down,” with their feet toward the birth canal. Mothers of fetuses with ACGIb are prone to other pregnancy complications, like too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios).
Diastrophic Dysplasia
Diastrophic dysplasia, also called diastrophic dwarfism, causes bone and joint abnormalities. It does not typically affect intelligence or mental function.
Individuals with diastrophic dysplasia have very short arms and legs (short stature, typically between 3.2 and 4.6 feet), although their skulls are often normally sized. They are often born with bone deformities such as clubfoot, cleft palate, a curved spine, and "hitchhiker thumbs" (thumbs that are bent back). The outside of the ears may also be swollen at birth which can result in abnormal-looking ears later in life. Infants may also have a small ribcage and chest with a protruding abdomen which can lead to breathing problems.
Joint abnormalities leading to pain develop at an early age, and many individuals have difficulty moving their joints, which worsens with age. This, in turn, may make walking difficult.
Atelosteogenesis Type II
Atelosteogenesis type II is similar to diastrophic dysplasia with the main symptoms including bone deformities, cleft palate, narrow chest with protruding abdomen, and atypical facial features. The main difference between the two diseases is that atelosteogenesis type II is much more severe, with most affected individuals being stillborn or dying from respiratory failure soon after birth.
Recessive Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia (rMED)
rMED causes bone deformities and joint pain. Unlike individuals with the related diseases mentioned above, those with rMED typically reach normal height and live normal lifespans. Half of the individuals with rMED are born with an obvious bone abnormality such as cleft palate, clubfoot, or an inwardly-curved little finger. Some also have a mild curvature of the spine (scoliosis).
All individuals with the disease develop joint pain, often late in childhood. Pain is most common in the hips and knees but can also occur in the wrists, fingers, and elsewhere.
How Common Is Sulfate Transporter-Related Osteochondrodysplasia?
ACGIb is very rare, and its frequency is unknown. One particular mutation that causes the disease is most common in Finland, but other mutations are found globally.
Diastrophic dysplasia has been estimated to affect 1 in 100,000 people worldwide. It has been found in individuals of all ethnicities but is most common in Finland.
Atelosteogenesis type II is extremely rare, and its frequency is unknown.
rMED is also rare, but researchers believe it may be more common than realized, due to individuals with mild symptoms who go undiagnosed.
How Is Sulfate Transporter-Related Osteochondrodysplasia Treated?
There is no treatment for ACGIb or atelosteogenesis type II. Infants with either disease can only be made as comfortable as possible.
For individuals with diastrophic dysplasia, the goal of treatment is to improve and maintain mobility while relieving pain. This can be done with a combination of muscle exercises, surgery, and the use of plaster casts to hold children's joints in place. In particular, surgery can be used to correct clubfoot, to reduce compression of the spinal cord, or to correct knee joints. Surgery may need to be repeated, as bone deformities tend to re-form after surgery. It is important that individuals with diastrophic dysplasia do not become obese, as this puts harmful weight and strain on their knee and ankle joints.
rMED is usually treated through a combination of targeted muscle strengthening exercises and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Individuals with the disease should avoid sports and activities that stress their joints. Obesity can put a strain on the joints. In some circumstances, surgery may be useful.
What Is the Prognosis for an Individual with a Sulfate Transporter-Related Osteochondrodysplasia?
The prognosis for an infant with ACGIb or atelosteogenesis type II is poor. They will die before or shortly after birth.
Infants with diastrophic dysplasia rarely face life-threatening breathing problems. Most individuals with diastrophic dysplasia live into adulthood and usually have normal intelligence and mental function. All will face physical challenges with walking and other movement and may rely on various mechanical aids for mobility.
Individuals with rMED can perform most daily activities, provided these do not stress the joints. Despite joint pain and some bone and joint abnormalities, individuals with rMED can live normal, healthy lives with a normal lifespan.

What’s Really Your Best Option For Finding Affordable Dental Coverage?
A dental implant is a metallic root of a tooth. It is positioned in the bone of your jaw by a dental implant dentist and allowed to heal in the bone for a period of time until the bone-implant union is sufficiently strong to support a prosthetic tooth. The implant is created from titanium, a metal that is comfortably tolerated by our bodies.
Whether you’ve always had been cosmetic trouble with your teeth or coping a host of tooth problems, dentists can provide you with your happy. They offer a host of services to keep your teeth feeling better. Examine a number of procedures these doctors perform for patients involving their office.
If you’re sick and uninterested in looking the actual world mirror and seeing dull, yellow teeth, then its time begin researching dentists because require professional assist you. There are plenty of over-the-counter options, but nothing works as fast as a sophisticated treatment. With store-bought methods, you ruin your day messy gels that should inserted into generic teeth whitening trays. On the other hand, if you use the strips, you have to make sure they mold teeth and also in put. This can prove to be difficult and you may end on the top of teeth that were bleached unevenly. With an experienced guitarist visit, you will get trays produced for you mouth. Remember that although patients notice results much faster than using home treatments, it also costs a lot of bucks more.
As cosmetic dentists really are busy and booked unless you have an emergency, it’s very important that obtain as almost as much ast possible done while you live the lounge chair. This saves both time and cash. You never know when the next appointment will be operational so you can come back.
The next common dentist trepidation is often a fear for the pain related to dental processes. It is true- dental methods can hurt. If you’re suffering produced by this fear, you have probably had an agonizing dental experience in the outside. The best way to combat this fear is to discuss with dental professional the alternatives for reducing your discomfort. Numerous all different kinds of products from numbing gels to anesthetics to you can make your encounter more leisurely.
Preferred Provider Organization. The member produce a choice of its Dental care provider or dentist they don’t need any individual references. However, just like Dentistas , they would require a deductible or paying an amount from the pocket.
Pediatric dentists are dental practices that are experts caring for the kids and girls and boys. This is a very needed profession, because according on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tooth decay is the most typical chronic disease among children between the ages of five and 18. If you are a parent, you ought to learn what these practitioners recommend for anyone to do guard your children’s oral good health.
#6. Determine the commitment that this dentist always be dentistry really like the area of dental implantology. Does they she tell? Does he or she publish articles on scientific dental literature. Is he or she considered an “expert” in this region of treatment.

Seth Govind Das
Seth Govind Das (16 October 1896 – 18 June 1974) was an Indian independence activist and parliamentarian. He belonged to the Maheshwari merchant family of Raja Gokuldas of Jabalpur. The family began as the banking firm of Sevaram Khushalchand, one of the "great firms" as termed by T.A. Timberg.
Although born in a family with a history of loyalty to the British government, he was attracted to the movement to seek India's freedom from the British rule. He joined the Non Co-operation Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920 and was jailed five times for a total of eight years. He became a member of the All India Congress Committee since 1920 and served in the Congress Working Committee of the Tripuri Session of the Congress in 1939. He was the President of the Mahakoshal P.C.C. during 1928–1934 and 1946–1957, and the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee in 1957.
Das was also a Hindi author and supported Hindi as the national language of India. He was jailed in Damoh for eight months by British, where he wrote four plays 'Prakash' (social), 'Kartavya' (mythological), 'Navras' (philosophical) and a 'Spardha'(one act play). He wrote more than a hundred plays, a novel "Indu-mati", five travel books, a three volume autobiography, four biographies, mostly in Hindi.
He represented Jabalpur in the Indian Parliament from the first to the fifth Lok Sabha, continuously, from 1957 to 1974 when he died. He was appointed Speaker protem (prior to the formal election of a speaker) by the President for the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Lok Sabha and administered the oath of the office to all the rest of the Lok Sabha members.
The Government of India awarded him the civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan in 1961.

Dependency Injection: a beginners introduction
Dependency Injection Armored Knight
Let’s explain dependency injection (one of the most used design patterns) with a very good example found in the book «Spring in Action, 4th Edition».
The problem with coupling code
Consider the Kingth class shown next.
As you can see, DamselRescuingKnight creates its own quest, a RescueDamselQuest, in the constructor. This makes a DamselRescuingKnight tightly coupled to a RescueDamselQuest and severely limits the knight’s quest-embarking repertoire. If a damsel needs rescuing, this knight’s there. But if a dragon needs slaying or a round table needs… well… rounding, then this knight’s going to have to sit it out.
What’s more, it’d be terribly difficult to write a unit test for DamselRescuingKnight. In such a test, you’d like to be able to assert that the quest’s embark() method is called when the knight’s embarkOnQuest() method is called. But there’s no clear way to accomplish that here. Unfortunately, DamselRescuingKnight will remain untested.
Coupling is a two-headed beast. On the one hand, tightly coupled code is difficult to test, difficult to reuse, and difficult to understand, and it typically exhibits «whack-a-mole» bug behavior (fixing one bug results in the creation of one or more new bugs). On the other hand, a certain amount of coupling is necessary – completely uncoupled code doesn’t do anything. In order to do anything useful, classes need to know about each other somehow. Coupling is necessary but should be carefully managed.
Fixing coupling code with dependency injection
With Dependency Injection, objects are given their dependencies at creation time by some third party that coordinates each object in the system. Objects aren’t expected to create or obtain their dependencies.
To illustrate this point, let’s look at BraveKnight in the next listing: a knight who’w not only brave, but also capable of embarking on any kind of quest that comes along.
As you can see, BraveKnight, unlike DamselRescuingKnight, doesn’t create his own quest. Instead, he’s given a quest at construction time as a constructor argument. This is a type of Dependency Injection known as constructor injection.
What’s more, the quest he’s given is typed as Quest, an interface that all quests implement. So BraveKnight could embark on a RescueDamselQuest, a SlayDragonQuest, a MakeRoundTableRounderQuest, or any other Quest implementation he’s given.
The point is that BraveKnight isn’t coupled to any specific implementation of Quest. It doesn’t matter to him what kind of quest he’s asked to embark on, as long as it implements the Quest interface. That’s the key benefit of Dependency Injection -loose coupling. If an object only knows about its dependencies by their interface (not by their implementation or how they’re instantiated), then the dependency can be swapped out with a different implementation without the depending object knowing the difference.
One of the most common ways a dependency is swapped out is with a mock implementation during testing. You were unable to adequately test DamselRescuingKnight due to tight coupling, but you can easily test BraveKnight by giving it a mock implementations of Quest.

Opinion | Israel Bulldozes Democracy
Opinion HAIFA, Israel — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is expected to visit Washington this week to meet with President Trump, presumably to discuss the political philosophy they share: power through hate and fear. A government that bars refugees and Muslims from entering the United States has much in common with one that permits Israeli settlers to steal land from Palestinians, as a new law that Mr. Netanyahu’s coalition pushed through Parliament last week did. Like Mr. Trump, Mr. Netanyahu used blatant race-baiting tactics to win his last election, in 2015. Since then, he has made discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel central to his agenda. This takes many forms; a particularly painful one is his government’s racist, unjust land use and housing policies. Arabs make up one-fifth of Israel’s population, yet only 2.5 percent of the state’s land is under Arab jurisdiction. And since the founding of the state, more than 700 new towns and cities have been built for Jews, while no new cities have been built for Arabs. In Arab towns, the government has made building permits so difficult to obtain, and grants them so rarely, that many inhabitants have resorted to constructing new housing units on their properties without permits just to keep up with growing families that have nowhere else to go. As a result, Arab communities have become more and more densely populated, turning pastoral villages into concrete jungles. In southern Israel, more than 100,000 Arab citizens face a particular crisis. In the Naqab desert, known in Hebrew as the Negev, there are 35 villages that are officially “unrecognized” by the state. The residents of these unrecognized villages have Israeli citizenship, yet the state has refused to provide even basic services like water, electricity utilities, paved roads and schools. Worse, because the Israeli government refuses to recognize these villages’ existence, they all live under the shadow of demolition orders from the state. Residents never know when the police will come to evict them and bulldoze their homes. These policies have existed for decades, but Mr. Netanyahu has turned them into a political bludgeon. Several weeks ago, when it became clear that the government would be forced to implement an Israeli High Court ruling to evacuate Amona, an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank built on land stolen from Palestinians, Mr. Netanyahu vowed to destroy Arab homes throughout Israel in retribution. The prime minister soon made good on his threat. That was why, a few weeks later, a huge force of armed police arrived to destroy homes in the unrecognized village of Umm al-Hiran. I first visited Umm al-Hiran not long after I had been elected secretary general of the Hadash party. I spent several weeks living in the Naqab and took part in a nonviolent protest against the demolition of another village, Al Araqib. I was beaten by police and arrested. I had to call my wife, Nardin, from jail. After a long legal battle, the government has moved to destroy Umm al-Hiran so that a religious Jewish community can be built in its place. This new town would erase all traces of Arab presence, even replacing the town’s name with the more Hebrew-sounding Hiran. The residents suggested a compromise: Create an Arab neighborhood within the new town so that their community could remain intact. The state rejected this idea: Hiran was to be for Jews only. A few weeks ago, I had reason to call my wife from the Naqab again. This time, I was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. On Jan. 18, as I stood with the residents of Umm al-Hiran, Israeli police who had arrived to demolish the village pepper-sprayed me and then shot me in the head and the back with baton rounds. These bullets, which are about 3 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter, have a hard plastic base and a high-density foam tip. Supposedly nonlethal, they have caused numerous serious injuries, including skull fractures and eye loss, and have been associated with at least one fatality. In my case, the bullet missed my eye and only grazed my skull. More grave, police actions that day resulted in two deaths: Yakoub Abu al-Qai’an, a math teacher from Umm al-Hiran, was shot and killed while driving, and Erez Levi, a police officer, was hit by Mr. Abu al-Qai’an’s car after he was shot. The police put out a false narrative that this was a terror attack. The Joint List, the group I lead in the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament, has called for a full inquiry into the day’s events. In the Naqab, the state claims “planning irregularities,” trespassing or environmental concerns as justification for refusing to recognize the villages and for destroying them. This is a grim farce. The reality for Arab citizens is Kafkaesque: The state refuses to create municipal plans to accommodate growing communities, and instead destroys homes that are built without permits it makes impossible to obtain. Is this a way for a state to treat its citizens? The government must meet the housing needs of Arab communities. I have proposed a two-year moratorium on demolishing illegally built homes, together with a public campaign to discourage illegal building. During that time, the state should create municipal plans for every Arab city and town and ensure that there is proper accommodation for expected growth. This plan has the support of both relevant ministries. But Mr. Netanyahu is ignoring it, just as he ignores our proposal to recognize the Arab villages of the Naqab. Treating the Arab population as an enemy within is racist in itself, but it is also a political maneuver. Mr. Netanyahu knows that his opponents on the left will not regain power without cooperating with Arab parties. The opposition Labor Party knows this, too. But instead of acting with integrity, Labor has mimicked Mr. Netanyahu’s strategy, treating us not as valued allies but as untouchables. The very existence of unrecognized villages is perhaps the most blatant example of the government’s cruelty toward its Arab citizens. There is room enough for all of us, in the Naqab and throughout the state. In this moment, it is our moral responsibility to build a principled opposition strong enough to overpower the politics of hate and fear. I will continue to work toward a just and democratic shared future. OpinionDanny Danon OpinionBernard Avishai OpinionShmuel Rosner OpinionRashid Khalidi

kreuzer!” This time Voytech did not go with hasty steps. He had time and to spare. He threw them a kreuzer, he was much amused. He remained standing among them and when the kreuzer was carried off in triumph, he threw them another. He laughed yet more, and Vojtech applied his hand to his pocket, until he had no more kreuzers left.
When he had come to the end of them all, he turned away. The children shouted after him, “Where are you going?”
He asked himself the question, “Where am I going?” and he did not know.
Then he knew that he was sitting at the hostinets and that it was a gala day with him.
The mother in reality did take Lidunka out walking in the evening. Either because long walks always have this effect or because the air of spring overpowered their strength, they came home thoroughly tired out, and Lidunka at once sought her bed. Even talking wearied her, she answered shortly, asked no questions herself and lay muffled upon her bed as though that was the only place where she felt at home. She could not expect to sleep, think some of my girlish readers. But her mother observed with apprehension that she continually turned from side to side; also that her forehead was hot to the touch, and sometimes it seemed as though her daughter murmured something in her sleep.
Once they returned home rather late not from a walk but after paying a visit.
Lidunka hesitated to lie down.
She looked at her mother and by a kind of silent glance gave her to understand that she wanted to say something.
The very words seemed to beat time in her bosom. So in clocks, before they strike, we hear a stronger ticking.
When her mother turned away from her, Lidunka waited till she turned towards her again, and when her mother turned towards her she thought that she was just about to speak, when her mother turned away again. Her mother, as it were, felt the ticking and did not venture to be the first to break silence.
The mother had already laid herself down to rest. Lidunka still hesitated.
“Why don’t you lie down, Lidunka?” asked her mother.
Lidunka’s embarrassment increased.
She went and knelt quietly beside her mother’s bed, took her mother by the hand and kissing it all over said, “I must say good night.”
