There is no plausible scientific definition of climate! Letter to the “FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG” (21. April 2017) Published on Tuesday, 25th April 2017, page 6 h/t and translation by Dick Koock, posted 25/04/2017 Climate change is no hoax The essay „For this we will walk for miles, written by Karsten Fischer and Peter Strohschneider (F.A.Z. April 21., 2017) has strong relevance to the opinion of the U.S. President concerning climate change. He, like many republicans consider the issue as the greatest hoax and intend to cut science and support considerably. Thus the “March of Science” war initiated on the day of the earth (April 22), and the essay’s sub- title is calling for: Do not submit to stupidity and malice. Most aggravating about the whole discussion on climate is that scientific populism stands at the start of this debate and that science commenced warning politics and the public in the year 1980 about anthropogenic (manmade) climate change. Since then within the last 30 years science has failed to scientifically define climate in an understandable manner. A hundred years ago: Climate was the average weather and the period from 1901 to 1930 was declared as the “normal climatological period”. What was missing then is an explanation of “Weather”. If a few components of weather might be sufficient for a statistical analysis or daily use they are not suited and insufficient for scientific studies because weather consists of many dozens of components. A random selection or combinations promote „alternative facts” now called “fake news”. For a long time a time scale is not mentioned. Meanwhile the 30 year period has been extended from months to a thousand or one million years. This absurd approach is being used by all climatological organizations and institutes. In this sense the word “Climate” is populism pure. It does not explain nor describe anything and encourages all those who can add to weather that anyone can talk about as a steady companion closer than ones shirt. The situation is pretty intricate. Climate change is no hoax. Global temperatures are rising since the end of the last so called “minor ice age” around 1850. We have to cope with this fact if it is excluded that mankind is contributing to this warming. Climate science has gained prominence and enormous funding claiming that using fossil fuels has contributed to considerable warming. Since there is no plausible scientific definition of climate, an assessment of assumptions cannot be made. Rising air temperatures do not represent “weather”. Therefore the approach of climate research is dangerous and aggravating, appearing with meaningless definitions. Unfortunately the republicans and Donald Trump are doing it. Both sides are incapable or unwilling to deal with this question, how our global weather functions. Thus the anthropogenic quantum cannot be determined. Logic demands to begin with water. “Water drives Nature” Leonardo da Vinci already claimed back in the 15th century. The atmosphere looks quite old considering the ratio to the oceans of 1:1000.

So we are almost on the other side of covid and most of its ramifications thanks to science, people working together, and our government handing out lots of free money. The economy is powering back, right? Well, sort of. There are a few consequences of the shutdown that we will have to sort out first. One of the biggest is INFLATION. I do believe that the government and the Fed Chair of Finance did what they needed to do to get us through our entire economy being shut down. Those stimulus packages saved a lot of businesses. They also kept many people from becoming homeless and helped keep the poverty level from significantly increasing and thank God for that. But, the way in which the stimulus was done required the central bank to print lots more money. When I say more money, I mean tons of it. In fact, in 2020 alone the US Government borrowed 3.5 Trillion (with a BIG T) from the central bank and far more into 2021. That’s almost 30% of all the money ever created in US history. Now, I’m not going to argue whether that was a good decision or not, but the simple fact is there WILL be major repercussions. I don’t believe any economist will deny that. Here are the facts: When there is a large fast influx of free money into the financial system, people start spending and demand rises for everything. When demand rises quickly for many things that weren’t in high demand previously, we end up with shortages because of low stock and a shortage of people in the workforce. When there are shortages in the workforce (which we are experiencing as we speak) employers have to raise wages in order to entice quality employees to work for them. When wages increase, the only way that companies can make up for this is to raise prices on their goods and the cycle begins. The fact is, the cycle is on a fast track to what’s called hyperinflation. What this means to all of us is that your dollar will not go as far as it did before, and that is dangerous to our economy as a whole in addition to your family’s personnel economy. So what’s the solution? Buy Real Estate! How will that solve my problem? Let me explain…. Right now interest rates are as low as they have ever been in history and borrowing money is cheap. The great thing about real estate is as the price of everything rises, so does real estate. The sooner you get in, the sooner you take advantage of those rising values and increase your equity, thereby increasing your rental income. So the more inflation increases, the more money you put in your pocket. There truly is no better way to beat inflation. But what if I don’t want to be a landlord and fix toilets and have to deal with bad tenants not paying their rent and damaging my property? Isn’t there any other way? Yes, there is. You can invest and own part of a large apartment complex in a very strong market location by partnering with a reputable company like 1 Vision Capital, LLC. You will still receive the profits, the equity, and the tax benefits of owning real estate without having to deal with all the hassles of being a landlord. We take care of all of that for you. We make sure each property has been vetted to fit very specific criteria that have been proven for a very high yield investment. Most people anticipate that you have to be rich to buy an apartment complex. Actually, the way most apartments are purchased (as well as malls, commercial buildings, etc) is by many people investing together to make larger and far more profitable deals together than they could on their own. That’s exactly how this works. We have the proficiency, experience, and knowledge to take care of all aspects of the deal including finding the right property, securing the loan, asset management, property management, asset management, and ultimately the sale of the property. So you get all the benefits without all the hassles. The best part is: YOU will Profit from inflation.

With not only being a global leader and innovator in the area of semantic graph databases, linked data and cognitive computing but also being one of the first companies to recognize the power of Semantic Technology more than 15 years ago, Ontotext is truly one of the originators of the semantic technology market. Ontotext has been solving the challenges related to efficient data analytics within enterprises even before its conception more than 15 years ago. It is one of the first companies to recognize the power of Semantic Technology. We have participated in various projects and publications aimed at improving the understanding the complexities of the Semantic Web at large. After extensive product development and self-funded R&D, Ontotext’s vision for Semantic Technology has eventually resulted in the maturity of a semantic graph database (GraphDB) that serves enterprises to store, organize and manage data and content in the form of semantically enriched Linked Data. Ontotext is a global leader and innovator in the area of semantic graph databases (triplestores), linked data, linguistic analysis, semantic web, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence. The company develops key solutions to data challenges in various industries such as medical, pharmaceutical, publishing, financial risk management and compliance, legal as well as in the fields of text mining and text analytics, data integration and master data management. Ontotext provides a complete set of Semantic Technology products and solutions enabling knowledge and content management processes downstream and upstream enterprise value chain.

At SEMANTiCS, Ontotext will present one of its current ongoing projects - PHEME. The goal of the project is to create a computational framework for automatic discovery and verification of information within textual content at scale and fast. The benefits from applying this framework will be shown in the context of social media analytics - better understanding the impact of rumours in social media -where they originate, how they spread, who and why spreads them, with multiple uses in many domains. Pheme started in January 2014 and will be running over the course of three years. The Pheme consortium consists of 9 European partners from England, Germany, Austria, Spain, Bulgaria, Switzerland and Kenya. It is co-ordinated by the University of Sheffield. Ontotext participates in the PHEME project in a core role by providing a LOD-based reasoning about rumours, i.e. a domain-independent model of the four kinds of rumours addressed: misinformation, disinformation, unverified information, and disputed information. Come talk to us at our booth to find out more about the project.

SBC accommodates 39 companies, including the Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult, having invested £650 million in start-ups and an additional £300 million in collaborating entities. With increasing demand from existing and prospective occupiers for integrated, scalable, and GMP-compliant training facilities, the need for a timely solution became apparent. The ongoing portfolio developments were insufficient to meet this demand, prompting the proposal for a modular build project to the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), which subsequently provided funding. This initiative not only facilitated the creation of 54 new skilled jobs but also safeguarded approximately 125 existing positions. Through effective project management, we ensured that the modular facility was delivered efficiently, enabling SBC to enhance its capabilities and reinforce its commitment to advancing the bioscience sector in the region.

Jason Momoa Credits Tool, Metallica, Black Sabbath for Aquaman Inspiration Which superheroes are metal? If there was any debate about Aquaman, actor Jason Momoa may have just settled the argument. During a chat with Metal Hammer, Momoa revealed that he used the metal stylings of Tool, Metallica and Black Sabbath to inspire him to get into the character of Arthur Curry (aka Aquaman). "Aquaman's pretty metal. I know no one thinks that, but Aquaman's metal," the actor explained. "I kind of build my characters off of metal songs. Conan (The Barbarian) was really heavy Pantera, I'd say Aquaman was probably mostly built out of Tool and (Metallica's) Kill 'Em All. 'Ticks and Leeches,' if I want to get specific. There's a lot of Sabbath in there too." The James Wan-directed film finds Momoa as the heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, but as the city prepares to rise again, he must find a way to unify his two worlds. The film also stars Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman and Dolph Lundgren. Watch the trailer for Aquaman, which opens Dec. 21 in the U.S., below. 2019's Most Anticipated Hard Rock + Metal Albums

“Collage has immensely expanded my technical skills and created new ways of expression for me.” Collage: Forging Unexpected Connections and Fresh Significance Christian Stork, born in 1966 in Hiddenhausen, Germany, has nurtured a lifelong passion for the arts. Though initially choosing a career in the socio-educational sector, in recent years, Stork has found himself drawn back to his artistic pursuits with renewed vigor. His interest has gravitated towards collage, employing both analogue and digital methods as his primary mediums. Stork’s professional and artistic perspectives uniquely center on people as dynamic participants in society. His creations serve as a reflection of this focus, highlighting the social implications of human interactions and activities. Stork’s artistry serves as a personal exploration of his lived reality, remaining unconstrained by financial pressures. In the digital age, the virtual platform has provided him a stage for his work, earning increasing recognition and exhibition opportunities through online publications. While Stork finds this exposure invigorating, he is conscious of the potential risk: the temptation to cater to the prevailing mainstream tastes, which might dilute his distinct artistic voice. The Profound Artistry of Christian Stork: Exploring the Human Condition Collage, in the artistic journey of Christian Stork, acts as an innovative medium to forge unexpected connections, imbuing otherwise disparate elements with fresh significance. To Stork, the creation of a collage is an intimate process of surrendering oneself to the pre-existing array of materials, from photographs to miscellaneous visual elements. His sources of inspiration, often harvested from both analog and digital realms, are vast and varied. The thrill for Stork lies in unearthing unexpected linkages that, once uncovered, seem to possess an inherent, timeless coherence. Collage, in his view, harbors remarkable potential; it allows for the fusion of existing entities in a manner that reinterprets and breathes new life into them. Stork stumbled upon the technique of collage serendipitously, and it has since profoundly amplified his technical acumen, which had hitherto developed without formal academic tutelage. Coupled with digital manipulation techniques, this discovery has unlocked an awe-inspiring spectrum of expressive possibilities for him. This rich diversity of modes of expression has, in turn, continued to fuel his artistic exploration and expansion. The Symbolism of Nature in Christian Stork’s Art: A Golden Blue Palette Christian Stork’s profound artistic oeuvre consistently grapples with the human condition within societal frameworks, meticulously exploring individual desires, dreams, and fears. The artist harnesses the powerful symbolism of nature, flora, and fauna, to illuminate these themes and amplify their resonance. Over time, Stork has gravitated towards the use of colour pigments—predominantly gold and blue. These tones imbue his creations with potency, depth, and a sense of noble dignity. In creating his distinctive collages, Stork displays a penchant for repurposing historical photographs and imagery extracted from vintage textbooks. The antiquity of these sourced materials endows the pieces with a compelling expressiveness and a captivating aura of timelessness. Although Stork’s workspace necessities are minimal—a table, a chair, a laptop, a printer, and rudimentary tools like paper, scissors, and glue—this modest setting does not stifle his creativity. On the contrary, he finds solace in the simplicity of his process. Amidst this minimalist setup, distractions are rare interlopers. Stork’s creative process often harmoniously intertwines with the ambient sounds of music or insightful podcasts. Stork’s artistic philosophy is profoundly influenced by Surrealism, a debt he acknowledges without reservation. He holds a particular admiration for Max Ernst, a paragon of the movement. Ernst’s boundless imagination, multifaceted techniques, and diverse expressions continue to spark inspiration in Stork’s artistic journey. Furthermore, he is invigorated by his interactions with the contemporary collage community, a vibrant collective marked by incredible diversity and ceaseless creativity. Christian Stork: Uncharted Territories of Expression and Transformative Contexts Christian Stork generates a wealth of imagery through an ongoing, evolving creative process. His difficulty in highlighting a singular piece of work underscores his ongoing artistic exploration, consistently discovering fresh techniques, novel materials, and consequently, uncharted territories of expression. These instances of innovation, where he first encounters new means of artistic expression, hold a particularly special place in his heart. Stork’s oeuvre predominantly features diminutive pieces. However, several of these have been magnified to grand proportions for display at outdoor exhibitions. This transformation endows the works with an entirely new aesthetic, altering their visual impact and thematic implications. The juxtaposition of these pieces against the backdrop of an urban environment gives them a novel dimension, with the interplay of form and context shifting dramatically. This intricate connection between the work of art and the unpredictable environment it may find itself in is an aspect of his practice that particularly captivates Stork. The context, in its potential unpredictability, can transform a piece, adding layers of interpretation and complexity that amplify the artwork’s effect and message, making it a continuous source of fascination for the artist.

“I found glass blowing to be a great marriage of my ability to work with my hands while juggling complex problem solving.” Exploring Commonalities Among Water, Glass, and Plastic Dylan Martinez is a glass sculptor specializing in the manipulation of this medium. As the son of a stone mason, he spent a significant portion of his formative years in the construction industry. However, he was imbued with a desire to chart his own path through life, which led him to pursue higher education. His artistic inclinations have always been influenced by nature and its intrinsic phenomena, prompting him to study the physical sciences to deepen his understanding of the world and its underlying mechanisms. During his third year of college, Dylan serendipitously discovered glass blowing, which proved to be an unparalleled form of creative expression. The unique set of skills required by glass blowing, which are not easily transferable to other artistic or craft disciplines, intrigued him. Glass blowing afforded him an opportunity to combine his dexterity with complex problem solving, and the concepts he learned during his scientific studies proved to be invaluable to his mastery of the medium. After honing his craft for several years, he experienced a resurgence of scientific curiosity that now serves as a driving force behind his artistic practice and inspiration. Dylan is primarily recognized for his hyper-realistic series that delves into the commonalities among water, glass, and plastic. He also engages in a distinct artistic endeavor, investigating light and space and employing the optical attributes of glass as a medium. Through the deft combination of multiple glass elements, he creates captivating and innovative ways in which light is refracted and reflected. His pieces are often multifaceted and possess multiple vantage points, rendering striking displays that undergo transformations or disappearances as the observer shifts viewpoints. Additionally, he relishes experimenting with the relationship between people and objects through his installations. Glass artist Dylan Martinez’s Idyllic Studio in the Columbia River Gorge Dylan Martinez finds great pleasure in working in a pristine and methodical environment that provides ample natural illumination and sufficient space to navigate freely. He also values an adjacent natural expanse that allows him to engage in reflective walks or invigorating hikes, which helps him create mental space for insights to flourish. Within his workspace, he particularly enjoys having diverse tools and machinery for woodworking, metalworking, and glassworking, which empowers him to resolve creative predicaments with any material or instrument that aligns with his vision. Recently, Dylan has settled into his latest studio, located in the idyllic environs of the Columbia River Gorge. After designing and constructing the space for two years, he now relishes its spacious hot glass studio, cold glass studio, and extensive wood and metal shops. As he nears the completion of constructing his long-awaited studio, he finds himself in need of some respite. His creative reservoirs are brimming with an abundance of imaginative concepts that he aspires to actualize, but his challenge lies in allocating the necessary time to manifest them all. Among his aspirations, he hopes to undertake more ambitious undertakings in due course. Drawing Inspiration From Nature and Science Dylan Martinez derives his inspiration from various sources, including his love for nature and hiking, as well as his fascination with the omnipresent beauty of science. By exploring the intricate patterns, fractals, shapes, and lighting that surround us in our daily lives, he is constantly stimulated and invigorated. Additionally, he is deeply captivated by the glass material itself, from its molten hot state to its transformation into optical crystal blocks and lenses, and he strives to approach his work with an open mind, refusing to be limited by any particular medium or process. He often gains inspiration and novel ideas through problem-solving and hands-on experimentation with different materials. Furthermore, his passion for philosophy, particularly eastern philosophies, also fuels his creativity and ignites his imagination. As he reflects on his evolution as a glass artist, he realizes that the discipline required to master this medium demands a critical examination of one’s emotional, physical, and psychological states, enabling one to identify and overcome obstacles to personal growth. These valuable insights can be applied not only to the art of glassmaking but also to other facets of life. Upon commencing his journey in glass-making, Dylan Martinez’s primary focus was on refining and perfecting his glass blowing techniques. He dedicated countless hours to creating practical objects while delving into complex color applications under the tutelage of various esteemed glass artisans. After years of unwavering dedication, he developed a solid foundation in his skill set that allowed him to venture into previously uncharted territories of glass manipulation and creation. From Perfecting Technique to Communicating Ideas Dylan Martinez, during his time in graduate school, was challenged to reconsider the purpose behind his creations and was introduced to the world of capital A art. This led to a shift in his approach where he began exploring object-making as a medium of communication rather than merely decorative expression. His fascination with how the human body perceives the world led him to delve into the physiology, psychology, and philosophy of perception, highlighting the limitations of human vision, cognition, and comprehension. Dylan aims to reveal the intricate space between objectivity and subjectivity in his work in a playful manner. As part of his artistic evolution, Dylan abstained from using color and pattern as decorative elements and instead relied solely on clear glass. Working with clear glass presented a unique challenge, encouraging him to focus on the physical properties of the material and exploit them to their fullest potential. He takes great pride in celebrating the material itself, instead of merely treating it as a canvas for decoration. It’s also worth noting that Dylan’s color blindness may have influenced this artistic direction. Out of all his work, Dylan is most proud of his water bag series, formally titled “H2O/SiO2”. These sculptures have resonated with people from diverse cultures, ages, and backgrounds worldwide, as they find joy in the whimsy of these hyperrealistic creations.

NEW YORK – Rattled investors are bracing for earnings from the market’s biggest tech companies, a Federal Reserve policy meeting and closely watched employment data in a week that could determine the near-term trajectory of U.S. stocks following a bout of severe turbulence. A months-long rally in massive tech stocks hit a wall in the second half of July, culminating in a selloff that saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index notch their biggest one-day losses since 2022 on Wednesday after disappointing earnings from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Google-parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL). More volatility could be ahead. Next week’s results from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Facebook-parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) could further test investors’ tolerance of potential earnings shortfalls from tech titans. The blistering rallies in the world’s biggest tech companies this year pushed markets higher, but have sparked concerns about stretched valuations. Though the S&P 500 is only about 5% below its all-time high and is up nearly 14% this year, some investors worry that Wall Street may have become too optimistic about earnings growth, leaving stocks vulnerable if companies can’t meet expectations in coming months. Also, investors will be closely watching comments following the end of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting on Wednesday for clues on whether officials are set to deliver interest rate cuts, which market participants widely expect to begin in September. Employment data at the end of the week, including the closely watched monthly jobs report, could indicate if a nascent downshift in the labor market has become more severe. “This is a critical time for the markets,” said Bryant VanCronkhite, a senior portfolio manager at Allspring. “You’re having people start to question why they are paying so much for these AI businesses at the same time the market fears that the Fed will miss its chance to secure a soft landing, and it’s causing a violent reaction.” Recent weeks have shown signs of a rotation out of the high-flying tech leaders and into market sectors that have languished for much of the year, including small caps and value stocks such as financials. The Russell 1000 Value index is up more than 3% for the month-to-date while the Russell 1000 Growth index is down nearly 3%. The small-cap-focused Russell 2000 is up about 9% this month, while the S&P 500 has lost more than 1%. Even, strong earnings may not be enough to get the broad market out of its recent malaise, at least in the near term, said Keith Lerner, chief market strategist at Truist. “The market is going to take direction based on the fact that these stocks have pulled back,” he said. “My thinking is that tech came down so hard, even if you get a bounce from these names due to earnings you will have people itching to sell into any gains.” Any signs that the Fed is seeing worse-than-expected deterioration of the economy could also unnerve investors, disrupting the narrative of cooling inflation but still-resilient growth that has supported markets in recent months. “We think they are going to stay with the script that they will be data dependent but the data has not been going in a straight line,” said Matt Peron, global head of solutions at Janus Henderson Investors. Conflicting economic signs have included faster-than-expected GDP growth in the second quarter alongside declining manufacturing activity. Markets are currently pricing in a near-certainty that the Fed will begin cutting interest rates at its September meeting, and expect 66 basis points in total cuts by the end of the year, according to CME’s FedWatch Tool. The employment data at the end of the week could sway those odds if it shows that the economy has been slowing faster than expected, or conversely, if a picture of rebounding growth emerges. Still, the recent selloff could be seen as a healthy part of a bull market that burns off excess froth, said Charles Lemonides, head of hedge fund ValueWorks LLC. “I think the longer-term story is that growth names will carry us through another market high somewhere down the road,” he said.

Me gushing about how happy I am on Substack and how I really feel like myself on here and how I love you guys Omg sorry to keep bothering you guys - I’ve been writing so much on here I’ve actually gotten worried that it’ll make people unsubscribe out of annoyance lol. I already made a thank you for my paid subs, but I wanted to post for everyone. Thank you!!! Thank you for the support. I have not felt this excited or passionate about something in a really long time. I wish I had started Substack sooner. This is what I wanted out of having an internet presence - I wanted a space where I could really share who I am, where I could make things that reach people and speak to them, where I could speak profoundly and meaningfully. I wanted a little community, I wanted something reciprocal, something where we can interact. I really didn’t get much of these things from TikTok. I have SO MUCH to share on here, it’s actually a matter of stopping myself from posting three times a day. I have been writing for hours every day since I started this. I am really optimistic and putting my all into this, and I am hoping that it can become the most successful form of my online presence, because it is already the one that I am most proud of. I have been putting in a lot of work so make sure that joining the paid tier of subscribers feels really really worth it. We interact a lot already, I take suggestions/requests on content and brainstorm what to write about with them. I share really personal things, diary entries, lessons from my worst experiences and the best in life. I want it to feel like you are getting access to being closer to me, not just getting access to more of my writing. I really do care about the relationship I have with the kind of people who have followed me to this platform, and especially those who are invested enough in me as a person and my thoughts and creativity to materially support me. I will keep working at this until I can fully support myself from doing it, and I know that sounds ambitious and a bit naive but I am faithful that something that makes me this happy and allows me to express myself is a basket that’s worth putting my eggs into. I see TikTok now as the springboard that could launch me onto a platform like this that I am so much more comfortable and sincere on. Don’t worry, I’ll still post TikToks. But I just feel really comfortable in my skin on here. Thank you guys endlessly for your kind words and support. I have felt so much warmth and appreciation and I have felt seen on here so much more than any other platforms. Thank you for making me feel special and smart, thank you for telling me what I mean to you. I feel incredibly close to the people that have followed me to this platform.

CHICAGO -- The youth vote will be crucial, if Kamala Harris hopes to come out victorious this fall. So, the Democratic Party is pulling out all the stops to court that demographic, including influencers. Content creators are being put front and center at the Democratic National Convention. Reaching young voters is part of the reason the DNC not only rolled out the blue carpet for invited content creators, but put some on the floor, right in the middle of the action. "Blown away, blown away: It is everything it looks like on TV and more," Chicago content creator Jenny LeFlore said. LeFlore, or MamaFreshChi on Instagram, is a local content creator whose ability to inspire moms around the city caught the attention of the Democratic National Convention. "That's very much where we are as a country. We want to be invited to the party," LeFlore said. She's one of 200 content creators, who were invited to the DNC for the first time in its history. It comes as Vice President Harris is pushing for more young voters. "If they have a trusted person, they're empowering us with the information, the resource, the graphics, very specific so we can inform our audience," LeFlore said. "They wanted someone just like me. It was right who they chose." According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Engagement and Learning, 70% of young people had gotten information about the 2020 election on social media. A DNC spokesperson said, "Our convention will make history, so we're giving creators a front row seat to history." It's a front row seat lucky few get right on the main floor. "Content creators have been doing the work for a long time, whether it's covering protests, social issues, and now we're able to cover more establishment aspects of what it means to be part of the political process," content creator Blair Imani Ali said. Imani Ali said she encourages her followers or "smarties" to make sure their voice is being heard. "If they're not gonna make a seat at the table, I'm gonna bring a folding chair," Imani Ali said. The creators are encouraging others to do the same and vote.

Return from where to where? I've left my days of mirth and bliss Of moonlit nights and choric walks And find myself now hurtling down Into the reams of 'pending' lists Where the clock with gaping jaws Crouches for one lethal leap. Let this verse be then My magic-bridge of time, For there shall I move In nowhere, nowhen And straddle how I can That which I must And that which is lost.

Here among columns of unseasonal rain That hurtle through fields beneath kohl-stained clouds, I've whispered our tales to leaves that are drenched With moisture of tears unaddressed. Plots that had seemed full of solace and shades Have wound into debris of sharp, sullen rocks That leave our soles black and red. Back in the twilight of chrysanthemum days With blossoms that had showered And covered our ways, Our eyes never measured these uncertain times Where hyenas and foxes now hold their sway With instincts of jungles as law. Borne along waves full of dream-laden pearls, We are stranded and lost amid seedless old rocks That scorch our soles black and red.

Norfolk County Council has launched a consultation on its proposals to change the way it charges some people for their non-residential adult social care services. The changes would affect the Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG), which is the term used to describe the minimum amount of income that those receiving local authority arranged home care need to cover their living costs, before a charge for care can be applied by the council. The proposals would see the Norfolk Minimum Income Guarantee changed to be in line with the minimum level set by national government. The measures are part of £41.5m of savings that Norfolk County Council needs to make to balance its budget for 2024/25. Councillor Alison Thomas, cabinet member for adult social care at Norfolk County Council said: “We are committed to providing high quality and sustainable adult social care services, but we also face significant financial challenges and rising demand. We must make tough choices to balance our budget and ensure we can support those who need care. “It is important that we hear from people about these proposals. This will allow us to understand the full impact of any changes and I would encourage everyone to give us their views.” The council currently uses a Minimum Income Guarantee of £187.13 a week for people aged 18 to pension age, which is above the minimum level set by the government. The council is proposing two options: - Option 1: Reduce the Minimum Income Guarantee for people 18-years-old to pension age from the current Norfolk County Council rate of £187.13 to government rates for 25-year old to pension age, which is currently £171.75 - Option 2: Reduce the Minimum Income Guarantee to the government rate of £171.75 for people aged 25 to pension age, and also introduce a reduced rate for people aged 18 to 24 of £150.25. It is estimated that option 1 would affect 1600 people who might have to pay between £2.50 and £18.00 a week more for their care. Option 2 would see around 95 18–24-year-olds pay between £2.50 and £40.00 more per week for their care, and around 1505 people between 25 – pension age pay an additional £2.50 to £18.00 a week. The changes would add between £1.2m and £1.29m in additional income for Norfolk County Council’s adult social care services. The proposals do not include any changes for people who have already reached pension-credit age as the council policy is already at the government-advised level. The consultation is open now and runs until 17 May 2024. The county council are hosting a series of drop-in sessions at libraries to help people understand the proposals and express their views. Accessible versions of the consultation materials are also available. People can share their views on the proposals in a number of ways: - Online at www.norfolk.gov.uk/savingsproposals - By email at [email protected] - By post, writing to: The Minimum Income Guarantee Consultation 2024/25 Freepost Plus RTCL-XSTT-JZSK Norfolk County Council, Ground floor – south wing County Hall, Martineau Lane Norwich, NR1 2DH. The results of the consultation will be reported to Cabinet in July 2024. The full consultation documents can be found here. Public drop-in sessions | || Monday 26th February | Great Yarmouth Library | 10:30am-3:30pm | Monday 4th March | Dereham Library | 12pm-4pm | Tuesday 5th March | King’s Lynn | 10:30am-3:30pm | Monday 11th March | Dereham Library | 12pm-4pm | Thursday 14th March | Norwich Library | 10:30am-3:30pm | Friday 15th March | North Walsham Library | 10.30am-3.30pm | Monday 6th May | Dereham Library | 12pm-4pm | Tuesday 7th May | King’s Lynn Library | 10:30am-3:30pm | Monday 13th May | Dereham Library | 12pm-4pm | Tuesday 14th May | Norwich Library | 10:30am-3:30pm | How people’s care charges are calculated: In calculating someone’s contribution towards the cost of their care, the county council follow national rules. These are the steps we go through: - We look at all income - We ringfence and protect some types of income which people keep in full – this includes some benefits such as housing benefit, council tax benefit, mobility benefits and any earnings. (This is known as ‘disregard’) - The remaining income is then added up - The cost of their care is added up - People then pay either the full, partial or nothing towards the cost of their care. Everyone must be left with the Minimum Income Guarantee amount – as well as any other income that is ring-fenced or ‘disregarded.’ Everyone is different and everyone has their contribution worked out individually. There is no blanket contribution. The full list of income that are protected and people keep in full are: - Earnings from employment - Housing Benefit - Child Working Tax Credits, Child Benefit and Child Maintenance Payments - Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Mobility, and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) Mobility - War Disablement Pension and Armed Forces Independence Payments and Mobility Supplement - Council Tax (reduction) - The difference between the enhanced rate and standard rate of Personal Independence Payments Daily Living (£33.65 currently)* - Bereavement Allowance* - Maternity Allowance* *types of income that are protected in Norfolk but aren’t covered by the care act Who would be affected - The county council currently provides chargeable non-residential adult social care services to just over 4,320 working age adults. - Under both options, 2,720 people will see no change to the amount they pay, either because they will continue to pay nothing or the amount they pay will remain the same. - 1,600 people would pay more for their care either because they are paying for the first time or because the amount they pay will increase. Example case studies of how this could affect people are set out in the full consultation document.

Beyond Backpropagation: Cognitive Architectures for Object Recognition in Video Jose C. Principe, Ph.D. Distinguished Professor and Eckis Chair of Electrical Engineering University of Florida, USA Backpropagation has been the hallmark of neural network technology, but it creates as many problems as it solves, because it leads to a black box approach, the difficulty of optimizing hyperparameters and the lack of interpretation, and explainability so important in practical applications. We have devised a new way to train deep networks for classification without error backpropagation, with guarantees of optimality under some conditions. This talk presents an overview of this recent advance, illustrates performance in benchmark problems, and advantages for transfer learning. Lecture I – Requisites for a Cognitive Architecture - Processing in space - Processing in time with memory - Top down and bottom processing - Extraction of information from data with generative models - Attention mechanisms and fovea vision Lecture II – Putting it all together - Empirical Bayes with generative models - Clustering of time series with linear state models - Information Theoretic Autoencoders Lecture III – Beyond Backpropagation: Modular Learning for Deep Networks - Reinterpretation of neural network layers - Training each learning without backpropagation - Examples and advantages in transfer learning Jose C. Principe (M’83-SM’90-F’00) is a Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida where he teaches statistical signal processing, machine learning and artificial neural networks (ANNs) modeling. He is the Eckis Professor and the Founder and Director of the University of Florida Computational NeuroEngineering Laboratory (CNEL) www.cnel.ufl.edu . His primary area of interest is processing of time varying signals with adaptive neural models. The CNEL Lab has been studying signal and pattern recognition principles based on information theoretic criteria (entropy and mutual information).

When the 63rd session of the Commission on the Status of Women began two weeks ago, Antonio Guterres, gave an impassioned speech where he called out the resistance to gender justice. “Around the world, there is a pushback on women’s rights. That pushback is deep, pervasive and relentless.,” he said. But he continued, calling on participants at CSW to continue to fight for gender justice. “We will not give ground. We will not turn back. We will push back against the pushback. And we will keep pushing.” Today, the member states of the United Nations failed to push back very much. Consistently, there were attempts to roll back language in the text of the final document of CSW63. In some cases, the chair had to replace whole paragraphs with language from last year, literally rolling things back in time. In other cases, new paragraphs with new text were simply not accepted. Elsebeth Gravgaard, from ACT member DanChurchAid, has followed the negotiations at CSW for the last six years. “I am concerned about the increasingly hard tone at the negotiations, and the difficulty of reaching consensus on advancing gender justice,” she said. “Still, it is a positive outcome this year- we managed to push back against regression.” The positive outcome included specific mention of the role of faith-based actors for the second year in the final document. There was also, for the first time, a specific mention of the importance of menstrual hygiene. Despite these positives, overall it is a very weak document which does not comprehensively advance the cause of gender justice. In particular, the theme of this year’s CSW of social protection is not sufficiently addressed. This is a missed opportunity, as this year was the first time CSW has addressed this vital theme. “It is the responsibility of states to provide social protections for their citizens,” said ACT’s General Secretary, Rudelmar Bueno de Faria. “We believe that all people are created equal, and enjoy fundamental rights that gender responsive social protection policies need to help ensure. This CSW failed to substantially advance those rights, leaving women, girls, LGBTI and others at increased risk due to insufficient social protections. We must do more. Now is the time to act.” Of particular concern to ACT Alliance is the paragraph on climate. Joycia Thorat of CASA India, a member of ACT’s Advisory Group on Advocacy, said “Climate justice should be the backdrop to ensure effective social protection, services and sustainable infrastructure for women and girls. Ensuring women’s leadership and participation in climate matters is critical for gender equality.” ACT is also concerned about the effect that this weak outcome will have on communities around the world. Gladys Nairuba of the ACT Uganda Forum said, “The increasing push back globally delivers weak commitments and laxity in accountability from states, which further limits the progress on women’s rights. Lack of accountability from states is a matter of life in the communities where we work. We still have a long way to go to get from rhetoric to tangible gender equality.” “ACT knows that the pushback against gender justice is coming from a minority of conservative governments—often governments that do not represent the feelings of their own citizens,” concluded de Faria. “ACT will continue to actively push back against the pushback, and will leverage its work to ensure justice for all.”

MPC have a Community of Practice which HR practitioners are welcome to join. We meet quarterly online for about an hour and discuss topics relevant to reviews of action (workplace decisions) such as how to conduct a review, procedural fairness, understanding and crafting allegations, conflict of interest, Code of Conduct, performance management and more. If SAF members would like to join, they can email [email protected] and we will add you. Our next meeting will be in May or June. We also have a pre-recorded webinar on our website. It is only 30 minutes long and covers the basics of reviews of workplace decisions and would be valuable for any HR practitioner who is new to reviews, and of course to employees to help them understand their review rights. It would be excellent if agencies included this webinar in new starter induction training and highlighted it to their existing workforces as well. As discussed we offer a range of employer services and any questions about these can be sent to [email protected]. I also mentioned our Myth-busting AI-assisted and automated recruitment tools which may be of use to the group. We are happy to come out and run information sessions with agencies and provide general advice in respect of reviews. We can be contacted at [email protected] and 02 8239 5330. We also hope to publish a model Review of Action policy in the coming months and will issue more comms when that is ready. Principal Review Officer

Academics and Activities In addition to core content (reading, math, science), students in elementary school participate in four classes called "specials." You can learn more about what they do in these classes below. Students visit the library to explore a diverse collection of books and resources that support their academic and personal growth. Through standards-based instruction students master essential skills such as locating, evaluating, and applying information effectively. These skills are vital for success in today's information-rich world and provide students with the tools they need to become critical thinkers and lifelong learners. Physical Education (PE) Physical Educaton plays an important role in a student’s educational experience. It is an academic, skills-based class that focuses on developing fundamental movement skills, creating a love of physical activity and promoting healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Wichita Public Schools adopts the national standards for physical education and they are at the center of the curriculum being taught to our elementary students. Ultimately, the goal of physical education is to equip students with the knowledge, physical skills, social skills and attitudes to lead them to healthy and active lifestyles. By providing an engaging and positive PE experience, teachers help students develop those necessary skills and confidence to be physically literate students who are active for a lifetime. During their time in art, students develop artistic literacy skills by viewing and discussing a variety of images like posters or projected slides. They also explore art processes and materials to create their own vision of the world. All elementary students attend art class for 45 minutes each week. Elementary students attend two, 45-minute class periods, totaling 90 minutes per week of active music making! This includes playing instruments, singing, dancing, moving and exploring music from various cultures. Students build music literacy skills by reading, writing, performing and composing melodies as they work together to create memorable music moments. These music classes establish the foundation of music learning and prepare students to be future ready for music at the next level and beyond!

ADD UPDATE, 18 April 2019: Ahead of the local elections on Thursday 2 May, Action against Destructive Development (ADD) has invited each candidate standing for Eastleigh Borough Council (EBC), and each candidate standing for Winchester City Council, to supply us with up to 350 words on their views on EBC’s draft Local Plan and its progress. The same invitation was extended to candidates in the parish/town council elections in our area. As you will be aware, EBC voted to include ‘options B and C’ in its Local Plan, namely proposals for around 5,500 houses and a major new road north of Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Allbrook and south of Colden Common, Owslebury and Upham, significantly affecting Boyatt Wood, Chandler’s Ford, Hiltingbury, Otterbourne, Brambridge, Highbridge, Twyford and Bishop’s Waltham. This draft Plan will be examined by an independent planning inspector later this year. As part of our virtual hustings, Steven Broomfield, Conservative candidate for Fair Oak and Horton Heath on Eastleigh Borough Council, has sent us this message: “Since being elected last May, I have worked to help residents of Fair Oak and Horton Heath by improving things around the village: new waste bins, repairs to play areas, promoting shops and businesses through my Facebook page and generally being part of village life. I was asked by Lou Parker-Jones to serve as Deputy Chair on the Local Area Committee and I have worked well with Lou, Gin Tidridge and Ray Dean [all Independent councillors in Bishopstoke] in mitigating the effects of the Lib Dems’ cavalier attitude to over-development. As a trustee of the Twynam’s Charity I have also helped a small, local, housing association provide accommodation for families in need. Supporting local residents who have been failed by Eastleigh’s planning policies has also been a priority. Staff cuts (despite assurances to the contrary by the Leader Keith House) have affected residents very negatively, and I have spoken with many who feel let down. In several cases I have involved our MP who is asking questions at a much higher level. Looking ahead, we face huge challenges – not just the fall-out from Eastleigh’s flawed ‘Plan’ (and already EBC is blaming others, such as Winchester City Council, for problems the inspector is noting) – but also the expansion of the West Horton Plan. With Eastleigh effectively marking their own homework on this since developers pulled out, residents need someone to speak up for them and work with the Burnetts Lane Residents Association. I have had only twelve months to start work (most importantly, plans to revamp Fair Oak village centre and make Fair Oak Road safer and more inviting to shoppers) and find my feet. If elected on 2 May I promise to continue helping residents, assisting ADD in their campaign and working with the Independents and fellow Conservatives to try and bring some sense into the future of our local area. Having lived in Fair Oak for 18 years and seen my daughters go through local schools and grow up here, I think I can say I want what other residents want – a future where traffic congestion, air quality, school spaces, GP services and lifestyle are balanced in favour of people rather than rapacious development.” Steven Broomfield, Conservative candidate for Fair Oak and Horton Heath on Eastleigh Borough Council

Précis: Athens Convention claims cannot be heard in a jurisdiction where the carrier does not have a place of business in that same jurisdiction. Facts: This was a decision of the Court of Quebec in which two actions arising out of the same facts were heard jointly. In both decisions the plaintiff claimed damages after their child fell ill while on the defendant cruise ship and the cruise ship did not have the medical equipment on board to treat the child. As a result the plaintiffs disembarked the boat in Nassau to have the child treated at a private clinic. The plaintiffs sued Norwegian Cruise Line and also Vasco, the travel agent who sold them the cruise package. Norwegian argued that the Court did not have the jurisdiction to hear the claim and sought dismissal of the action against it, on the basis that Norwegian did not carry on business in Quebec or Canada. Vasco also sought dismissal of the action on the basis that she was not responsible for services obtained aboard the cruise ship. Decision: The Court did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim against Norwegian Held: The Court examined whether the Quebec Consumer Protection Act applied to the claim and found that since the plaintiffs embarked on the cruise in New York, disembarked in the Bahamas and flew back to New York, there was no attachment of the claim to Quebec. The Court then considered if maritime law applied to the claim, noting the provisions of the Athens Convention in the Marine Liability Act, with particular reference to Article 17 of the convention which pertains to the “Competent Jurisdiction”. The Court found that Norwegian did not carry on business in Canada or Quebec and thus this Court was not a competent jurisdiction as defined by Article 17(1)(a).

Need Plugin like Sketch's Zeplin Please add any plugin like sketch's zeplin so it will become easier to share your designs and its assets to the developer team. XD’s January 2018 update now supports integration with Zeplin (as well as Avocode, ProtoPie, Sympli, and Kite Compositor). Read more at https://theblog.adobe.com/introducing-popular-3rd-party-integrations-adobe-xd/ Zeplin is only supported on Mac right now. If you’re interested in Zeplin support with XD on Windows, please let us know by upvoting https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/33045610-zeplin-integration-on-windows @PB Collaboration son. Collaboration [Deleted User] commented What benefit using Zeplin? XD already exports design specs for developers greatly without any plugin. Still no assets export from XD specs but surely Adobe team will add it soon. - Cee Rouhana commented and having it cross platform. NOT JUST macOS I´m coming back to Sketch´s World Hollie Golightly commented @Zach Bruce, yes I should have included in my post that this has always been the intention of Zeplin, to create a plugin for XD as they have done for photoshop. However, they were unable to begin working on the project until XD was release from beta (which happened during MAX in october). I have not yet seen any updates on roadmap/timeline when they plan to release the plugin. They have released a beta version which you can share Design Specs with others, good luck! Hollie Golightly commented I would be hesitant to introduce anything adobe-side to my devs. What is currently in place with libraries (which functions similar to zep, but MUCH slower and incomplete) is a perfect example of what does not work in the real world. Adobe does not understand the necessary limits on integrated elements between teams. XD preview manages this partially by only replacing the demo link on request, but its still external assets tied to an original file. The biggest benefit of zeplin is a library that is easy to communicate with, but lives entirely independant of my files. I can store iterations until my hearts content, and devs can work from a single library without concern for version history or file names. Not to mention it is fast, can be linked externally to someone without an account - which I will note, XD fixed with shareable prototype links which is VERY useful. Zach Bruce commented Zeplin announced they will be supporting Adobe XD in the near future. Super excited for that! https://www.facebook.com/zeplin.io/photos/a.273837216159688.1073741828.167470653463012/733330833543655/?type=3&theater David Hope commented Yes please, I'm waiting on a collaboration between adobe xd and Zeplin.

It's a debate which has raged for decades and been used by extreme green groups to attack fishing as cruelty masquerading as sport, but new international research claims fish don't feel pain when struggling on the end of a line. Fish do not have the brain structure, or enough specific nerve endings, to experience pain, the scientists concluded. When a fish is hooked and struggles against the line, it is an unconscious reaction to being reeled in rather than an example of a creature writhing in agony, according to Jim Rose, professor of zoology and physiology at the University of Wisconsin, who led the project. Their review of previous experiments, reported in the scientific journal Fish and Fisheries,included tests were researchers inserted needles, and also injected bee venom and acid, into the jaws of rainbow trout. "In spite of large injections of acid or bee venom, that would cause severe pain to a human, the trout showed remarkably little effect,'' Professor Rose said. He said fish also resumed normal activity within minutes of surgical procedures, or after being caught and released back into the water. Prof Rose said fish did not possess the highly developed neocortex needed to feel pain, so don't experience it in any meaningful way like humans. The did have nerve cell endings called nociceptors which initiate the sensation of pain, but only in extremely small numbers. "It is highly improbable that fish can experience pain,'' Prof Rose said. The scientists said despite their findings fish still deserved to be treated humanely. Leading anti-fishing group PETA, which has produced ads warning children that if their father fishes he might also shoot the family dog, has rejected the new research.

“I am sorry. I just had to unmute myself. I saw Sara’s message in the chat. About feeling guilty for drinking a few glasses of wine. I don’t think any of us who drink should feel guilty. They spend 3 hours in the middle of the day having lunch and a drink with family. Then they work a few hours i the evening. I mean no one is in therapy in Italy. They enjoy life. Eat great cheese, pasta, salami. Amazing wine. I used to drink wine but now my drink of choice is a shot of patron tequila with Italian soda.” “Adriana, it sounds like we should all move to Italy,” the facilitator replied with her usual smirky smile. I muted my microphone. Fuck I thought. I didn't even breathe. I looked at my calendar with the reoccurring daily reminder: breathe…… I did not breathe. I just did what I promised I would not do. Do not make this about me and ramble. I did not use TOM either. Thought: I feel fucking anxious tonight. Opposite: I feel like sharing my anxiety, so I don't have to feel it alone. Middle: I should not unmute myself. I turned off my camera during progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) as ordered. I hate this stupid breathing exercise. Why would I want to tense my muscles and focus my breath on the tensing of muscles. I grabbed my favorite treat. Peanut butter m and m’s and waited until ordered to turn our cameras back on. “Now how was that for everyone?” I moved my fingers far away from my computer screen and listened. “Oh, I think it’s so relaxing.” That was Katrina. She was such a kiss ass. She loved everything we did in group therapy. “Thanks for sharing! Now…” The chat started to blow up. “PMR doesn’t work for me. I don't know. It makes me feel worse.” Heart emojis. Hands clapping. Lots of me too’s. No one liked the PMR exercise. “Well, I can see that maybe some of you would like to try something different than PMR.” Why can't the facilitator just admit we all are fucking hate PMR. All. of. us. I decided 2 more weeks might cure my curiousity for group therapy for good.

I looked up menopause on Mayo Clinic’s website “ may affect emotional health.” Hmmmm. I wish I could blame menopause. I’m trying to rationalize in my distorted mind that my daily crying spells is the beginnings of menopause. I excitedly tell my husband as the Atlantic Ocean waves roll over our feet. My head on his shoulder with daily tears in my eyes “maybe it’s menopause.” I don’t even believe what I am saying. I’ve been depressed my entire life. I was hoping at age 52 that I could blame my crying spells on something. I am exhausted by my own racing thoughts. The problem is there are too many scenarios that slither in and out of my brain randomly. I have been inconsistently in therapy since I was 20. How many more times can I process the same fucking shit? Process the same shit that feels as raw and prickly as the moment it just happened. I know a woman who was in a horrific bus accident in Bali. A truck full of refined sugar trapped her in her seat for 6 hours. Both her best friends sitting next to her already deceased. When I met her for only the 2nd time, the first was 15 years ago when my soon to be boyfriend now husband had a crush on her, she told she did some weird fucking rapid eye movement therapy and was feeling better. I couldn’t help but blurt out “you are joking, right?” She looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. “It helped.” I know therapists and psychiatrists personally so I usually get unsolicited advice when I tell people I’m depressed. I was friendly with a psychiatrist I worked with and her answer was working for our community based mental health agency was making me depressed. “You make no money here. It’s a terribly run. You can buy a social work degree online for like $10k and then you can be a therapist and make good money in private practice.” I also thought she was joking but apparently people did this. I’ve always been in the wanting to ease people’s pain business. I never got a counseling degree. Or a social work degree. I had compassion and empathy and wouldn’t give up on you even if you gave up on yourself. A therapist who I worked with left to join a practice in which people trip like when I went to college hippie parties. Allegedly in 6 hours you moved through your subconscious trauma and woke up fine. The therapist was in a loveless marriage to a cop so I never trusted her anyway. Then there’s psychiatric meds. I have been on everything. They help for awhile and then I’m right back to crying and being anxious again. The same psychiatrist who told me to buy an online degree told me to try deep brain stimulation. I thought if I was ever going to take any of her advice, which I never did, the fake degree seemed like the more sensible of the two. Then there is talk therapy. I have been to every kind of therapist you can think of. One therapist would lean her desk chair all the way back that she would fall asleep for a few seconds and roll herself back down to look at me and say “Exposure therapy! You have start. step by step day, dad by day until you make it all the way to the building where your boss harassed you. I guarantee that will help.” I tried shots of liquor when I was 17. That just made my parents liquor cabinet empty and me cry more. I know. Alcohol is a depressant. But when my parents went to the bank on Friday evenings because the lobby stayed open later I would open the cabinet that I broke into months before and take a shot straight from the bottle. I would furiously shake my head. It tasted like as bad as the homemade wine that my nonno made. Sometimes I would go out and my friend and I would just drive around. I would smoke camel lights out of her black mustang, pull out a tight tshirt from my purse, and try to forget I was depressed. The stupid boys we met only made me more depressed. They were a distraction from why I was depressed. All the years of poor decisions like allowing all that alcohol slide down my throat or being drunk and letting guys have sex with me. I always wanted to be distracted. I’ve always had jobs in which I helped others in distress. While a woman had a surgical abortion I would tell them to squeeze my hand tight. I would tell stories to distract them. I would ramble about god knows what but when it was all over I wheeled them in the recovery room. I placed a paper bowl with graham crackers and a large cup of ginger ale next to their recliner with a pillow and blanket. For the last 20 years I distracted residents in the Capitol of this country of ours from their addiction, trauma, mental health, poverty, purposeful segregation, marginalization , undervalued and under appreciated beautiful selves. So it is not lost on my as I write this after crying on my husbands shoulder with the abundant sunshine on the Atlantic Ocean beach that I have done and do all of this to distract myself from my own story. A story I blame myself for. If I had done this…then…Or if I was a better daughter or sister or niece or wife or step parent or co-worker or student or whatever than I for sure would have diverted my depression and….I don’t know. I would be smarter, thinner, less passive aggressive, a better wife, a better daughter, a better friend, a better sister…just better. Since I’m not better than I’m angry at myself. Which makes me feel guilty and ashamed and depressed which makes me quickly want to focus on you. Your pain. Your hurt. Even your joy.

Google Donates Two Eclipse Projects Worth $5 Million - By John K. Waters - December 15, 2010 Google today announced plans to contribute the source code and IP for two new open-source Eclipse projects. The Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant said it will donate CodePro Profiler, an Eclipse-based Java application profiling tool, and the framework and SWT tooling of WindowBuilder, a leading Eclipse-based Java GUI Designer. Both were acquired last August when the company bought Portland, Ore.-based Instantiations. The nearly one million lines of code, plus the IP, is worth more than $5 million dollars, the company said. Eric Clayberg, co-founder of Instantiations, now a software engineering manager for Google developer tools, will be the project lead on the WindowBuilder project, and Google will provide 15 in-house committers, he said. He also said he expects half a dozen committers from other companies who've expressed interest in the project. Former Instantiations partner OnPositive, a custom software development company based in Russia with offices in the U.S. and U.K., will take the lead and provide the corporate committers to the CodePro Profiler project, he said. "We've had lots of people express interest in extending the WindowBuilder framework in particular," Clayberg told this site. "And Google has a lot of its development tools in open source -- the Android tool stack, for example -- so it made sense to continue these two projects out in the open." Google made the announcement today in a posting on Clayberg's blog. Six weeks after its acquisition of Instantiations, Google re-branded and re-launched WindowBuilder as a free tool for the Java/Eclipse community. The company had been considering the fate of CodePro Profiler, Clayberg said, when it made the decision to donate both tools to Eclipse. "It's so tightly coupled with the GWT that we're keeping it in-house for the moment," Clayberg said. "But all of the key functionality -- WYSIWYG editing, support for widgets, layouts, visual inheritance, bi-directional code generation, parsing -- all of that is part of this engine we're contributing." "We want to make sure that all developers in our community are productive," added Brad Abrams, product manager for Google developer tools. "And as we go after the enterprise developers, Eclipse is a fantastic medium for that." The Eclipse Foundation’s Executive Director Mike Milinkovich says the two new projects will fill a gap in the toolkits of Eclipse Java developers. "In terms of what they get with their free Eclipse tools, great GUI building and great Java profiling have been pretty high on the list for a long time," he said. "These projects fill that need for the community." Even though the WindowBuilder components have been available for free, being able to access those components, along with the CodePro tools, from the Eclipse download site as freely reusable, extensible, and re-distributable components is going to be a "big boost" for Java developers, Milinkovich said. Every Eclipse project goes through a three-phase lifecycle, Milinkovich explained: proposal, incubation, maturity. After the proposal is accepted, each project must pass three reviews: the creation review, the graduation review, and the final release review. "It's easy to propose a project at Eclipse," he said. "It's tough to graduate and become a mature Eclipse project. And we make it pretty hard to release a project from Eclipse. We do lose projects along the way, but that's by design." The Google team plans to submit its project proposals to the Foundation today, Clayberg said. Once submitted, it will be available on the Eclipse Web site. After the community gets a chance to comment on the proposals, Google will start moving the code through the Eclipse IP vetting and licensing process. Clayberg and Abrams said that they expect to have the WindowBuilder project reader for the Eclipse Foundation's annual Release Train in June 2011 with Eclipse 3.7. They're submitting the two projects just before the Friday deadline for projects to declare their intent to join the release train. "They can definitely make it," Milinkovich said. "And we'll do everything we can to support that goal." Genuitec, the Flower Mound, Texas-based provider of Java and Java EE development tools based on the Eclipse framework, including the MyEclipse Java IDE, is among the early commercial supporters of the WindowBuilder project. The company plans to offer support for the SWT and Swing Designer tools, as well as the GWT Designer tools. "The Eclipse Foundation is certainly the right place for these projects," said Todd Williams, Genuitec's vice president. "But Google wants to ensure that there is continuity from the commercial side for the folks her purchased these tools from Instantiations. A lot of corporations simply don't like to download open source free stuff with no support. We're more than happy to step in for those corporate customers who want professional services and support. It's really a no-brainer for us to add those products to our MyEclipse line, pretty much immediately." John K. Waters is the editor in chief of a number of Converge360.com sites, with a focus on high-end development, AI and future tech. He's been writing about cutting-edge technologies and culture of Silicon Valley for more than two decades, and he's written more than a dozen books. He also co-scripted the documentary film Silicon Valley: A 100 Year Renaissance, which aired on PBS. He can be reached at [email protected].

High flight prices, steep hotel rates, and sneaky extra charges can make a dream trip a financial headache. But your travel dreams don’t have to stay dreams. You don’t need to empty your wallet to experience the world’s wonders. Believe it or not, there are plenty of places where your dollar goes far, and I’m not just talking about saving a few bucks. I’ve put together a list of affordable tourist destinations where you can travel with affordability and by staying in your average budget. And yes, all prices and suggestions are in good ol’ USD for easy reference. Top 8 Popular and Affordable Tourist Destinations I have picked out 8 awesome places for the upcoming 2024, where you can have fun without spending too much. From cool cities to chill beaches, these spots are perfect for travelers on a budget. Here are my top picks for affordable travel this year: #1. Atlanta, Georgia Atlanta is a fantastic option for budget-conscious travelers looking to explore in 2024. It is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and fun things to do in Atlanta. It offers a great blend of affordability and fun. On average, you should budget around $136 per person per day. This includes accommodations, meals, local transportation, and activities. For a week-long trip, a person might spend around $954. But what about the accommodation? There’s a range of options to suit various budgets. On average, hotel rooms in Atlanta cost about $129 per night. For budget travelers, there are lower-cost options like hostels and budget hotels starting around $40 per night. Atlanta has a diverse food scene. You can expect to spend around $43 per day on meals.

Of Memories, Medium, and Money Every month, I write about the stories I wrote on Medium that earned the most in the previous month. The trend/takeaway: Personal stories and being vulnerable attract readers. A further takeaway: The new Medium money model seems to be offering even MORE rewards for these types of stories. With that said, I’m still seeing stories about earning by writing (whether on Medium or other platforms) do quite well. I’m also encouraged that while I published fewer stories in August, I earned more than I have since July 2022. And with that, here are my Top 5 earning stories from August. The first is a deeply personal piece about a particularly painful childhood memory: Yes, reporting on earnings (even on a non-Medium platform) is still a solid earner — this one was number 2 in August:

On 19th January, Jacinda Ardern announced that she would be stepping down from her role as New Zealand’s prime minister and leader of the centre-left Labour Party. Her resignation marks the end of a five-year period in office which saw her global popularity skyrocket due to her public health first approach to COVID-19 during the early days of the pandemic, then later decline domestically as New Zealanders tired of her government’s stringent lockdown policies. When Jacinda Ardern was sworn in as New Zealand’s prime minister in October 2017, she became the world’s youngest female leader. She later became only the second world leader to give birth during office. She began to gain international attention in the early years of her premiership, as her empathetic approach and progressive ideals bucked the apparent global trend towards strongmen and populists. As international news headlines were dominated by political figures such as Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro and Vladimir Putin, and centre-left parties seemed to be on the decline, Ms Ardern’s political success offered hope and a blueprint for progressives. The first major event of her premiership came on 15th March 2019, when a terrorist gunman attacked a mosque in Christchurch, killing 51 people. Ms Ardern was praised for both her compassionate response to the attack, as she met and grieved with the families of the survivors, and her decisive policy response. Her government moved to pass a series of gun reforms, including a ban on semi-automatic firearms and an incentive scheme that encouraged gun owners to turn in their weapons. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic saw countries such as the UK, Brazil, India and the United States criticised for failing to prevent the spread of the virus, while failing to listen to scientific recommendations to impose societal restrictions and other disease control measures. Under the leadership of Ms Ardern, New Zealand adopted a hardline “Zero COVID” approach involving border closures and lockdowns. This approach won international praise as the country was able to keep the number of cases and fatalities relatively low compared to the rest of the world. Ms Ardern’s successful pandemic approach was undoubtedly the zenith of her domestic and international popularity, the former clearly demonstrated by Labour sweeping to power in a landslide victory during the October 2020 elections. However, discontent grew and criticisms increased due to her government’s prolonged commitment to Zero COVID, along with a slow vaccine rollout (New Zealand’s vaccination programme began a couple of months after the UK, USA and most of the EU). This sharp turnaround in the country’s political mood played out in 2022 as right-wing protests against vaccine mandates at the parliamentary grounds turned violent and spread to other cities. Some have criticised Ms Ardern for jumping ship, arguing that the former prime minister is choosing to protect her own legacy rather than face the prospect of an election defeat head-on. However, a more accurate assessment would be that the move was a self-aware and typically empathetic acknowledgement that her political brand had become tired and tarnished domestically, and that her successor would be better placed to lead the Labour Party into the October 2023 elections. However, Chris Hipkins, who was sworn in as New Zealand’s 41st prime minister last week after running for Labour Party leadership unopposed, may find the polls difficult to turn around. As Mr Hipkins was minister for health from July to November 2020, and minister in charge of the COVID-19 response from November 2020 and June 2022, he will face an uphill battle in changing the minds of voters who have turned away from the Labour Party due to its stringent COVID policies. Despite her recent waning domestic popularity, ultimately we should expect Ms Arden’s positive political legacy to endure. The decisiveness and determination to protect lives and listen to the science demonstrated by Ms Ardern, whilst other global leaders hesitated and gambled with the lives of their citizens, will ultimately be remembered as one of the greatest displays of pandemic-era leadership. Although she was unable to sustain the trust she instilled in New Zealanders for a full term, her authenticity and honesty should be a benchmark that all politicians strive towards. By Jack Seal

Winners at the Jack Nicklaus Junior Championship at Mission Hills Haikou. Chen Guxin fired a closing three-under-par 69 to claim victory in the 2018 Jack Nicklaus Junior Championship at Mission Hills Haikou. It was Chen’s second victory at Mission Hills in recent months, the 14-year-old having hit the headlines by winning the China Amateur Open at Mission Hills Dongguan last November. Chen, who lives on the tropical island of Hainan, made the most of home advantage in the 11th edition of the Jack Nicklaus event to top an international leaderboard and earn an invitation to compete in the Nicklaus Junior Championship in the United States this summer. The rising Chinese star follows in the footsteps of compatriots Guan Tianlang and Jin Cheng, both past winners of the Mission Hills Jack Nicklaus Junior Championship before going on to win the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship and play in The Masters. Chen’s brilliant final round followed two level-par 72s to finish on 213, one ahead of Chinese Taipei’s Chou Yi-ting who captured the girls’ title. The 17-year-old Chou also qualifies for the Nicklaus Junior Championship in Palm Beach County, Florida. Following three rounds on the Sandbelt Trails Course at Mission Hills Haikou, other qualifiers for the Florida event include third-placed Pan Junjie from China on 217 – taking the total of mainland Chinese qualifiers to six – plus players from Hong Kong ( Iris Wang Xin-yi and Sophie Han), India ( Bhuvas Nagpal), Macau ( Ning Wang) and Thailand ( Pakorn Wongpen and Golfers from Pakistan and the United States were also in action in The R&A and China Golf Association ranked event, part of the Mission Hills Junior Golf Programme which stages more than 30 tournaments and events each year and has been helping to grow the sport in China for more than two decades. “I am incredibly proud that our China event is now entering its second decade and is more popular than ever,” said Nicklaus, golf history’s greatest champion with 18 Majors and also considered one of the game’s most acclaimed designers with more than 300 courses worldwide. “I have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with Mission Hills and the Chu family dating back to 1992 when I started designing my golf course at Mission Hills in Shenzhen.” Tenniel Chu, Group Vice-Chairman of Mission Hills, added: “We are very proud to be working with Jack Nicklaus and taking his junior championship into its 11th year. Mr Nicklaus has been a rich part of the Mission Hills story as both a course designer and a junior golf ambassador and his tournament has played a strong part in the development of Chinese golf.”

The honorable Minister of Transportation; Rotimi Amaechi, on Wednesday, said the Federal Government has repaid up to $150m out of the $2bn Chinese loan borrowed for rail construction. This was revealed during Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ program monitored by The PUNCH. The regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has been heavily criticized for borrowing billions of dollars from the Chinese government. Amaechi who spoke while he was featured in the program said the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has only borrowed for the Kaduna-Abuja and the Lagos-Ibadan railways. When asked how much of the Chinese loan obtained that the Federal Government has repaid, Amaechi said, “The right ministry to respond to that question is the Ministry of Finance; they borrow and they repay but I think the last I heard about it, it was between a $100m to $150m repayments that we have done so far in the Kaduna-Abuja. “Don’t forget that we’ve not borrowed any money yet, the only money we borrowed is in the Kaduna-Abuja and Lagos-Ibadan. Lagos-Ibadan, what we borrowed is about $1.5bn though it has not matured for repayment, what has matured for repayment is the Kaduna-Abuja which is being repaid. “Nigerians think we borrow so much but the only projects we have borrowed so far is the Kaduna-Abuja where we borrowed $500m and the Lagos-Ibadan where we borrowed $1.5bn. So, that brings the total loan exposure for us in the Ministry of Transport to about $2bn as far as the railway is concerned.” The minister also said the Chinese are still in charge of the rail services on the Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan lines. According to him, the Chinese drive the trains and will hand them over to Nigerians once major areas of operations are ticked.

Co było, to było. Co będzie, to będzie. Liczy się dziś. Dlaczego? Bo tylko dziś możesz coś zrobić. Możesz podejmować decyzje i zacząć działać. Właśnie w teraźniejszości masz swoją moc, aby zmienić to, co Cię uwiera. Nie porównuj się do Kaśki, bo Kaśka ma inne życie. Może Tobie wydaje się niesamowite, ale może dla niej niesamowitym życiem, jest Twoje życie. Nie zawsze to, co na wierzchu jest odpowiednikiem tego, co w środku. Poza tym, każdy z nas startuje z innej pozycji społecznej, finansowej, poglądowej. Przecież nie każda z nas lubi sukienki albo kapelusze. Zgodzisz się? Jesteśmy inne. Każda ma swój sposób bycia, sposób rozwiązywania problemów i spędza dzień inaczej, co innego jest dla niej ważne. Nie porównuj siebie Porównywanie z inną osobą, nie zawsze może wyjść Ci na dobre. No, tak przyznam Ci rację, że kiedy porównujemy się z kimś „gorszym” w naszym mniemaniu, to zazwyczaj wynik tego porównania, jest na naszą korzyść. Ale czy o to chodzi? Owszem, poczujesz się lepiej i nawet przyznasz sobie rację, że nie jest tak źle. Jednak myślę, że aby zobaczyć swoje Ja, trzeba podejść do tematu, bardziej osobiście. Trzeba posłuchać swojego serca, żeby zrozumieć, co Cię uwiera i z czym jest Ci źle. Jeśli natomiast porównujesz się z kimś „lepszym”, to już inaczej patrzysz na ten wynik. Dostrzegasz więcej swoich niedoskonałości, braków i innych sygnałów, które tak naprawdę najczęściej wcale nie odzwierciedlają naszej osoby. Bo jesteśmy jak lustro, ale o tym będzie inny wpis. Mnie uwierała codzienność. Każdy problem oraz wrażenie, że na nic nie mam wpływu, że nie umiem sobie poradzić. Mogłam porównać się do Kaśki i stwierdzić, że Kaśka ma gorzej, ale czy takie porównanie byłoby dla mnie korzystne? Usiądź w ciszy. Wsłuchaj się w swoje serce. Nie oceniaj siebie, swoich uczuć i tego, co zrobiłaś do tej pory. Najważniejsze, że dziś zwróciłaś uwagę na to, z czym Ci nie jest po drodze. Podjęłaś decyzję, że chcesz to zmienić. Może właśnie dzisiaj przyszedł dzień, w którym jesteś gotowa, aby stawić się czoła swoim niedoskonałością. Czasami trzeba przejść jakąś drogę, która jest lekcją samą w sobie. Drogę, podczas której spotykam różnych ludzi, aby się od nich czegoś nauczyć. Często musimy dojrzeć, zrozumieć, spojrzeć inaczej. Czas, daje czas… Tylko od Ciebie zależy, czy skorzystasz z tej lekcji To, że kiedyś podjęłaś taką, a nie inną decyzję? No cóż… Może w tamtym okresie, była to najlepsza decyzja, jaką mogłaś podjąć? Nie byłaś gotowa na inne rozwiązanie. Nie oceniaj tamtej chwili. Tamta chwila, była tamtą chwilą. A Ty dziś nie jesteś osobą z tamtej chwili. Jesteś sobą dziś. Widocznie popełniłaś błąd, skoro tak twierdzisz. Trudno. No i co z tego? Jeśli tak to, dziś możesz spróbować go naprawić. Tylko czy warto ruszać stare rany? Zaakceptuj swoje błędy i swoje rany. Nie oceniaj, przede wszystkim zdobądź się na szczerość sama ze sobą. Każdy popełnia błędy. Nie ma ideałów. Pogódź się z tym. Bądź dla siebie dobra. Zbyt duża dawka krytyki, obwiniania, oceniania może przynieść Ci rozczarowanie, smutek, żal. Dlatego, jeśli potrzebujesz tych uczuć, aby je przerobić, przerób je i nie wracaj do nich. Co było, to było? Nie pozwól, aby Wczoraj wprowadzało chaosu do Twojego życia Dziś. Uczymy się całe życie. I tylko od Ciebie zależy na ile będziesz otwarta, aby skorzystać z lekcji. Nie oceniaj Kaski, ani jej życia. Widzisz tylko otoczkę tego, co na zewnątrz. A całe życie przecież toczy się w środku. W sercu i czterech ścianach domu. Twoje życie, to Twoje życie i ono powinno Ciebie interesować. A błędy? Każdy popełnia błędy, ale nie każdy potrafi się z nimi pogodzić. Jeśli ciągle będziesz do nich wracała, to nigdy w Twoim sercu nie będzie spokoju. Ponieważ Twój problem, będzie ciągle obecny i ciągle będzie bolał. Dzisiaj znów wszystko jest możliwe … więc idź dalej z zaopiekowanym i spokojnym sercem. Jeżeli ten wpis jest dla Ciebie wartościowy, proszę zostaw komentarz i udostępnij go, aby mógł z niego skorzystać ktoś inny. Ktoś, kto może akurat dzisiaj potrzebuje takich słów. Dziękuję 🙂

Egy szervezet vagy egyén belső és külső tényezőinek felmérésére használják, hogy azonosítsák a fejlesztendő területeket és a lehetséges kihívásokat. Ezt a módszert először Albert Humphrey, az 1960-as években létrehozott Stanfordi Kutatóintézet dolgozta ki és vezette be tanulmánya során azzal a céllal, hogy azonosítsa a vállalati tervezés következetes kudarcának okait. Íme a négy fő összetevő magyarázata: - Erősségek amelyekben egy szervezet vagy egyén kiemelkedik vagy versenyelőnyben van másokkal szemben. Ilyen lehet például az erős márka ismertség, egy tehetséges csapat vagy a hatékony folyamatok. - Hiányosságok Olyan tényezők, amelyekben egy szervezetnek vagy egyénnek javítania kell, vagy amelyekben nincs versenyelőny. Ilyen például a rossz pénzügyi menedzsment, a korlátozott erőforrások vagy a nem megfelelő technológia. - lehetőségek olyan tényezők, amelyeket egy szervezet vagy egyén kihasználhat céljai elérése érdekében. Különösen az új piacok, a kialakuló trendek vagy a szabályozás változásai teremthetnek lehetőségeket. - fenyegetések negatívan befolyásolhatja a szervezet vagy az egyén azon képességét, hogy elérje céljait. Figyelembe kell venni például az erősödő versenyt, a gazdasági visszaeséseket, a fogyasztói magatartás változásait és még sok mást.

Cold emailing prospective customers has shown to be a very effective B2B sales tactic. Writing emails for outreach takes time. It involves updating your list of target accounts, pursuing hot leads, or developing your social selling plan. When cold emailing prospects, salespeople have an advantage if they have researched their firms and looked up their LinkedIn and Twitter accounts. The prospect can see that the salesperson is truly interested in helping them improve their business by how they use individualized information as opposed to just attempting to make quick money. The first sales conversation you have with a customer following one or more engagements from marketing, not the cold email itself, is what makes a successful cold email effective. A personal email signature The majority of prospective clients seek for trust indications in a company's signature. Your signature, on the other hand, should not detract from the text but rather affirm your identification as a person they can trust. Keep in mind that this is the recipient's first email from you, so don't set off any heroic impulses in the process. Good signatures are concise and include the following information: - Full name - Title of your position or line of work - Phone number for job or profession title - Website URL or other online presence (for example, LinkedIn) - A photograph of yourself or the company logo Find the right audience. Know your prospects in order to contact them. This is required for every marketing endeavor. To obtain business, you should contact the big boss or the final decision maker. This is true in some cases, but not always. Different people oversee various business segments in corporations. Reaching the head of your company's department will yield more substantial results. You want someone to listen to you and convey your offer. As a result, they can be superheroes. Employees that can detect organizational demands are admired by top leaders. Write about a fascinating subject. Give your subject line the attention it deserves. This is the first thing the recipient sees, and it is what they will use to decide whether or not to respond to your cold email. People will not consider doing business with you if they never read the email content you give them. Your subject line should be viewed as a headline for your email, much like articles, newspaper advertisements, and blog posts. You must persuade the consumer to proceed. In reality, email subject lines and other headlines aren't all that different. Fortunately, you don't have to rack your brain and deplete your creative juices since AI writing tools like Ai-Wordsmith can assist you in creating attention-grabbing headlines. Enhance the first line The first line of your email text is important for two reasons. The first line of an email is shown in the email client of the receiver. From the minute your first line is read, your prospect's attention must be sparked and held. The goal is to get them to read past the first line. Following that, the individual begins to pay attention. As a result, if the initial section of your email is well-written, they will most likely read the remainder. Even so, it would be preferable if you sought to keep readers engaged in your writing at all times. Add social proof to your claim. People employ social evidence and psychological phenomena to accelerate their decision-making by mimicking the actions of others. However, the most common type of social evidence is a client testimonial. Please mention the names of any previous clients or brands with whom you have worked. Keep the email brief. Time is of the essence. Your candidate is likely to have several duties and get communications from others. Keep communications concise and to the point unless you're already pals. Prospects are more likely to act on an email that finishes with a strong CTA or call to action. Prospects will be more inclined to purchase your goods or services if you ask them questions that demonstrate how they will benefit from them. For example, a cleaning service may write, "Does the idea of starting your day without having to tidy up seem appealing to you?" or "Click here to schedule a free consultation with me." The idea is to utilize questions to elicit a yes or no response from the individual and then inform them what they need do next. Creating an effective cold email campaign requires time and effort. A thorough understanding of who your client is and what they want is necessary. Simple email sequences, solid integration, and extensive lead data make the process easier.

The cloud Optical Centroid Pressure (OCP) is a satellite-derived parameter that is commonly used in tracegas retrievals to account for the effects of clouds on nearinfrared through ultraviolet radiance measurements. Fast simulators are desirable to further expand the use of cloud OCP retrievals into the operational and climate communities for applications such as data assimilation and evaluation of cloud vertical structure in general circulation models. In this paper, we develop and validate fast simulators that provide estimates of the cloud OCP given a vertical profile of optical extinction. We use a pressure-weighting scheme where the weights depend upon optical parameters of clouds and/or aerosols. A cloud weighting function is easily extracted using this formulation. We then use fast simulators to compare two different satellite cloud OCP retrievals, from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), with estimates based on collocated cloud extinction profiles from a combination of CloudSat radar and MODIS visible radiance data. These comparisons are made over a wide range of conditions to provide a comprehensive validation of the OMI cloud OCP retrievals. We find generally good agreement between OMI cloud OCPs and those predicted by CloudSat. However, the OMI cloud OCPs from the two independent algorithms agree better with each other than either does with the estimates from CloudSat/MODIS. Differences between OMI cloud OCPs and those based on CloudSat/MODIS may result from undetected snow/ice at the surface, cloud 3-D effects, cases of low clouds obscurred by ground-clutter in CloudSat observations and by opaque high clouds in CALIPSO lidar observations, and the fact that CloudSat/CALIPSO only observes a relatively small fraction of an OMI field-of-view.

MONTGOMERY – Earlier this week, the Association’s Manpower Shortage Task Force met in person for the first time to begin addressing a resolution adopted by the House of Delegates at the 2018 Annual Meeting in April. The resolution, submitted by the Pickens County Medical Society, directs the Association’s new task force to develop and restore adequate health care manpower in all geographic areas in order to provide quality local health care for all Alabama citizens. Members of the task force discussed a number of issues but focused on the importance of fully funding the Board of Medical Scholarship Awards, scope of practice, physician pipeline programs, education and the possibility of GME expansion, recruitment and retention of physicians through meaningful tax credits and rural community support, and start-up business models. Medicaid Commissioner Stephanie Azar and Dave White from the Governor’s Office joined the meeting to hear the concerns of the task force and take their report back to Gov. Kay Ivey. “Because this was the first face-to-face meeting of the task force, we had a lot of ground to cover,” said Executive Director Mark Jackson. “Naturally there are a lot of concerns about health care shortages in rural areas, but our goal is a long-term solution. The members of the task force realize this isn’t an easy fix, which is why they were willing to express their concerns openly and honestly to the Governor’s staff.” The task force and the resolution stand as a reminder that Alabama ranks in the last five of 50 states in health status categories, and while primary care medicine is effective in raising health status, supporting hospitals and improving the economic status of disadvantaged communities, the state’s aging population is causing an escalation in need for primary care physicians.

UPDATE DEC. 12, 2018: The Continuing Board Certification: Vision for the Future Commission has released its draft report for public comment. The report, which includes the Commission’s key findings and recommendations, will be posted on the Vision Initiative website for comment through Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019 at 11:00 p.m. CST. The Medical Association continues to work with the American Board of Medical Specialties concerning physician frustrations with the current Maintenance of Certification process, but this is your opportunity to voice your opinion as well. Take a moment, review the draft report, and offer your comments by Jan. 15. The Medical Association remains committed to working with the American Board of Medical Specialties and its 24 Member Boards to improve the continuing certification process so that it becomes a system that demonstrates the profession’s commitment to professional self-regulation, offers a consistent and clear understanding of what continuing certification means, and establishes a meaningful, relevant and valuable program that meets the highest standard of quality patient care. The Boards will seriously consider the Commission’s findings and recommendations once finalized, as they continue implementation of improvements and pilots currently underway. UPDATE JULY 20, 2018: The Continuing Board Certification: Vision for the Future or “Vision Initiative” is a collaborative effort that brings together multiple stakeholders to envision a system that is responsive to the needs of those who rely on it and that is relevant, meaningful and of value to physicians. The Vision Initiative includes physicians, professional medical organizations, national specialty and state medical societies, hospitals and health systems, the general public and patients, and the 24 Member Boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties. The Vision Initiative held in-person meetings in March and May to solicit testimony from ABMS member boards, national specialty and state medical societies, key stakeholders, and the public regarding their perspectives on the continuous certification system as well as innovations and possible changes. Upcoming meetings, to be held August 29-30 and October 15-16 will discuss solutions in relation to MOC. (See timeline.) A draft report for public comment is anticipated in November 2018, with a final report from the Commission to ABMS due February 2019. Interested medical societies can sign up for monthly updates to follow the Commission’s progress and be notified about opportunities for feedback and input at this link. UPDATE APRIL 20, 2018: The Continuing Board Certification: Vision for the Future Commission is continuing its quest to bring together physicians, medical organization, state medical societies, hospitals, health systems, patients and the ABMS to investigate the future of board certification and recently hosted its first in-person meeting in March in Washington, D.C. Commission members heard testimony on continuing certification from stakeholders who provided their perspectives and experiences with continuing certification, the challenges they currently face, and their thoughts about opportunities about the future. The presentation components of the meeting were open to the public and video streamed for all to view live. HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE? The Commission launched a stakeholder survey in February, which will remain open until May 11. Complete the survey, share the link with your colleagues, and urge them to participate as well. TAKE THE SURVEY The next Commission meeting will be held May 30 – June 1. The meeting will feature sections open to the public and will be live video streamed. Details regarding the agenda and live streaming will be featured in next month’s update and posted on visioninitiative.org. Please make sure to bookmark the site for access to Commission meeting information, progress updates, and opportunities for your feedback and input, and remember to share this update with your colleagues and encourage them to become involved in the process as well. The Medical Association continues to work with the American Board of Medical Specialties concerning physician frustrations with the current Maintenance of Certification process. Late last year, Association Executive Director Mark Jackson and Council on Medical Service member Jeff Rickert, M.D., joined representatives from other state medical societies and individual specialty boards for a meeting with the ABMS in Chicago, which included discussions about innovations the medical boards are working on to address continuous learning for physicians, many of which include input from various outside stakeholders and focus on greater consistency amongst the medical boards. Following the Association’s Annual Governmental Affairs Meeting in Washington in February where Richard Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of ABMS, was a guest speaker, the organization issued a statement as an update on the progress of issues of concern to physicians about Maintenance of Certification. As a result of these meetings, and other meetings initiated by State Medical Societies, the Continuing Board Certification: Vision for the Future was formed as a collaborative effort bringing together physicians, medical organization, state medical societies, hospitals, health systems, patients and the ABMS to investigate the future of board certification. The Commission invites input from all stakeholders. To participate in the discussion, you may provide comments to inform the future of board certification, learn how you can engage in the process, and sign up for monthly email updates from the Commission.

Your getup introduces your personality and style, so here are some ways to accessorise and spice up your outfit In the famous story of Sheikh Saadi and His Dress, where Sheikh Saadi was served better food because of his attire, there are two lessons; and one is often overlooked. The first is obvious: in an ideal world, one should not judge others solely by their appearance. But the other lesson is that in the practical world, you are often judged by your appearance. Your getup introduces your personality and style. That’s why you need accessories to spice up your outfit. Cufflinks, ties, suspenders, belts and pocket squares are some examples. Here is how to use them wisely. Cufflinks: A touch of elegance Modern cufflinks come in a variety of styles, materials, and designs. From classic monograms to quirky and contemporary shapes, cufflinks allow men to express their individuality. For formal occasions, consider classic sterling silver or gold cufflinks. Whereas, more casual events may call for playful designs or customised options. Whether you opt for the traditional bullet back closure or the convenient and user-friendly whale tail closure, cufflinks add a touch of refinement to any dress shirt. Tousef Islam is a suave young journalist who understands the art of accessorising. Tousef believes that the key to mastering accessories boils down to two fundamental principles: feasibility and materials. “As much as accessories are meant to enhance your style, they should seamlessly integrate with your overall look,” Tousef advises. “Feasibility is crucial – consider your position, physique, day’s schedule, and even the weather when incorporating accessories into your outfit.” He stresses the importance of selecting materials thoughtfully. “Valuable metals and ornamental gems or designs are favoured by those with means,” he says. “However, it’s crucial to stay practical. Otherwise, it may seem ostentatious rather than stylish.” Ties: The art of neckwear If you’re asking someone for money, wear a tie. Oscar Wilde once said, “A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.” The necktie has long been a symbol of professionalism and style, evolving from its military roots into a fashion staple. Ties offer endless possibilities in patterns, fabrics, and widths, allowing for both stylish and creative outfit combinations. The width of your tie should complement your suit’s lapel, with slimmer ties pairing well with slim lapels and wider ties with broader lapels. Imran Hossain, a corporate employee, advises that a silk tie in a solid colour or subtle pattern exudes a classic and timeless look. However, for those seeking to make a statement, experimenting with textures, colours, and patterns can elevate a simple suit. Mastering various tie knots, such as the Windsor or Four-in-Hand, adds sophistication to your ensemble. Regarding fabric, options include silk, wool, cotton, and polyester. “Silk is luxurious but high-maintenance, while wool offers a stylish contrast, particularly when paired with a silk pocket square. Polyester, though lightweight, may give off a cheaper vibe,” Imran explained. When it comes to colour and pattern, solid-coloured ties like navy and burgundy are versatile options. Striped ties convey professionalism, with thinner stripes exuding a more refined look. Polka dots offer a classic choice, while paisley ties add a touch of history and sophistication. Suspenders: A return to classic cool Suspenders, once deemed old-fashioned, have made a stylish comeback, offering both practicality and a dapper aesthetic. The key to wearing suspenders well is understanding the occasion and coordinating them with the rest of your outfit. Avishek Dash, a banker, shared his experience of wearing suspenders for a decade or more. “Pairing leather suspenders with a casual ensemble or opting for silk ones with a formal suit can instantly elevate your overall look.” Remember, the proper fit is crucial when wearing suspenders. “They should be adjusted to comfortably hold up your trousers without causing them to sag or pull uncomfortably,” cautioned Avishek. The thickness of the suspenders is also important. Dr Mizanur Rahman, former chairman of the Human Rights Commission, is known for his distinctive use of suspenders. “There are thin suspenders and thick ones as well. Always choose the thickness of your suspenders, keeping the outfit in mind,” he mentions. Clip-on suspenders are the go-to if you want easy versatility. Just attach them to any pair of pants. They’re the laid-back choice— perfect for city shorts, funky jeans, or any fashion-forward outfit. For a slightly more formal vibe, go for button-on suspenders. These require pants with hidden buttons on the inside of the waistband. If your trousers lack them, add your own or let your tailor do it. Y-back or X-back? Y-back is the modern choice. Unless you’ve got unusual pants-keeping-up issues or super sloping shoulders, Y-back is the way to go. Belt: Blending in balance The wrong belt draws unwanted attention to your belly and can make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. You need to know about the types of belts out there and which one you should buy. The rule of thumbs for belts is to match the belt colour to your shoes for a cohesive look. Black belts pair well with black shoes, while brown belts complement brown or other earth-toned shoes. There are mainly two types of belts: Dress belt and casual belt. Choose a belt that matches the formality of your outfit. Typically made from leather, dress belts are sleek and formal, suitable for wearing with dress pants or suits. More relaxed in style, casual belts may feature different materials like canvas or suede, often worn with jeans or chinos. Canvas belts are lightweight and perfect for summer or outdoor activities, commonly adorned with vibrant patterns or designs, adding a playful touch to any ensemble. The buckle in the belt catches the eyes. The prong buckle is the most common type–this one basically goes with any outfit but is more suitable for a formal one. Then there is the box frame buckle, which is a rectangular frame with a prong, offering a sleek and modern look. Make sure you don’t mess up. Pocket square: A touch of colour A mere six to twelve inches of fabric, folded and tucked into a jacket’s breast pocket, possesses the remarkable ability to elevate an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. Its origins are debated, with some tracing it back to ancient Egypt, where noblemen used scented cloths to ward off odours, while others attribute it to mediaeval European knights who adorned their breastplates with handkerchiefs as symbols of luck and chivalry. Regardless of its history, the pocket square as we know it emerged during the 1920s, becoming a symbol of refinement and class for dapper gentlemen. Today, pocket squares come in a variety of fabrics and patterns, from classic white linen to vibrant silk, catering to every occasion and personal style. Whether attending a black-tie event or strolling through the city streets, there’s a pocket square to suit every taste. Different folding techniques, such as the presidential fold or the puff fold, offer endless opportunities for creative presentation. Pairing the pocket square with the rest of the outfit involves selecting complementary fabrics and designs, ensuring a harmonious look. In terms of etiquette, proper placement of the pocket square is key—ensuring it peeks out slightly from the jacket’s breast pocket for visibility. Coordination with other elements of the outfit, such as ties, shirts, or socks, helps achieve a harmonious overall look. When done right, the pocket square adds a touch of sophistication and flair to any outfit.

ALHR writes to new WA Premier and Attorney General offering support for Western Australian Human Rights Act ALHR has written to the new Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan and WA Attorney General John Quigley congratulating them on their very successful election result and offering our support for the introduction of a Western Australian Human Rights Act. Australia remains alone amongst western liberal democracies and common law legal systems as bereft of a constitutional bill of rights or a federal legislated Human Rights Act. A Constitutional bill of rights was debated at the Constitutional conventions in the 1890s and received significant support but ultimately the majority voted against adopting a bill of rights for Australia on racist grounds: that is, our founding fathers did not want to afford migrants and Chinese workers on the goldfields due process at law. Although times have changed, unfortunately we are still facing a raft of significant and systemic unsolved human rights violations throughout Australia. Whilst not a panacea, ALHR strongly believes that legislating for the legal protection of basic universally-recognised standard of human rights, which form the backbone of our way of life in this country, via a Human Rights Act, will be a strong step to progress the protection of the Australian peoples’ basic rights and fundamental liberties. The Australian Capital Territory was the first Australian jurisdiction to implement a Human Rights Act 2004 (ACT) and Victoria soon followed in 2006 with the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006. ALHR has been involved in a strong successful civil society campaign over the past two years to a secure a Queensland Human Rights Act. Excitingly, in late 2016, we secured a promise from Queensland Premier Anastasia Palaszczuk and Qld Attorney General Yvette D’Ath that a Qld Human Rights Act will be implemented in the coming months and that the QLD ALP Policy Platform has been amended to support the adoption of a Qld Human Rights Act based upon the Victorian Charter Model. ALHR is now launching campaigns in Tasmania, New South Wales and Western Australia for each of those states to pass a Human Rights Act legislation before focussing on a federal Human Rights Act. We note that from our recent conversations with federal Shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus, he is a strong supporter for the passage of a federal Human Rights Act. In 2008-2009, the Rudd government had the vision to institute a national human rights inquiry under the leadership of Father Frank Brennan AO. This became one of the largest public consultations in Australian history with over 35,000 submissions received (over 85% of them in favour of a federal Human Rights Act) and over 62 public consultation roundtables held in urban and regional locations around the country. However, whilst the final Brennan Report recommended the passage of a federal Human Rights Act, Prime Minister Rudd declined to implement the Committee’s recommendations. Instead the very weak and impotent “National Human Rights Framework” was established, including the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights, which in its six years of existence has achieved very little in the way of securing human rights protections for the Australian people. ALHR notes that in 2007 the former Western Australian government held a public inquiry chaired by Fred Chaney AO, into whether the Western Australian government should legislate a Human Rights Act. The Consultation Committee received 377 submissions and has recommended that additions be made to the original draft Human Rights Bill 2007 to include the right to an education and adequate housing. The Consultation Committee’s final report entitled “A WA Human Rights Act” (enclosed and marked ‘Annexure 1’) was published on 16 November 20071 and recommended, inter alia, as follows: The Committee concluded that a WA Human Rights Act which was an ordinary Act of Parliament would contribute to an increased awareness of, and concern for, human rights in Western Australia. If a WA Human Rights Act was binding on Government and the way it treated people it could meet many of the concerns raised with the Committee. We therefore recommend that a Human Rights Act be enacted in Western Australia. You can read our letters and annexes attached below. If you are a member of ALHR and would like to get involved in ALHR’s Human Rights Act(s) Subcommittee please email [email protected]

A Generalized Framework for Speech Enhancement and Recognition with Special Focus On Patients with Speech Disorders Kumara Sharma et.al. have proposed Harmonics-to-Noise Ratio and Critical-Band Energy Spectrum of speech as Acoustic Indicators of Laryngeal and Voice Pathology . Acoustic analysis of speech signals is a noninvasive technique that has been proved to be an effective tool for the objective support of vocal and voice disease screening. In the present study acoustic analysis of sustained vowels is considered. A simple -means nearest neighbor classifier is designed to test the efficacy of a harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) measure and the critical-band energy spectrum of the voiced speech signal as tools for the detection of laryngeal pathologies . It groups the given voice signal sample into pathologic and normal. The voiced speech signal is decomposed into harmonic and noise components using an iterative signal extrapolation algorithm. The HNRs at four different frequency bands are estimated and used as features. Voiced speech is also filtered with 21 critical-band pass filters that mimic the human auditory neurons. Normalized energies of these filter outputs are used as another set of features. The HNR and the critical-band energy spectrum can be used to correlate laryngeal pathology and voice alteration, using previously classified voice samples. This method could be an additional acoustic indicator that supplements the clinical diagnostic features for voice evaluation . Cepstral-based estimation is used to provide a baseline estimate of the noise level in the logarithmic spectrum for voiced speech. A theoretical description of Cepstral processing of voiced speech containing aspiration noise, together with supporting empirical data, is provided in order to illustrate the nature of the noise baseline estimation process. Taking the Fourier transform of the liftered (filtered in the Cepstral domain) cepstrum produces a noise baseline estimate. It is shown that Fourier transforming the low-pass liftered cepstrum is comparable to applying a moving average (MA) filter to the logarithmic spectrum and hence the baseline receives contributions from the glottal source excited vocal tract and the noise excited vocal tract. Because the estimation process resembles the action of a MA filter, the resulting noise baseline is determined by the harmonic resolution as determined by the temporal analysis window length and the glottal source spectral tilt. On selecting an appropriate temporal analysis window length the estimated baseline is shown to lie halfway between the glottal excited vocal tract and the noise excited vocal tract. This information is employed in a new harmonics-to-noise (HNR) estimation technique, which is shown to provide accurate HNR estimates when tested on synthetically generated voice signals. HNR is defined as the ratio between the energy of the periodic component to the energy of the aperiodic component in the signal. As such it is sensitive to all forms of waveform aperiodicity ,. It only specifically reflects a signal to aspiration noise ratio when other aperiodicities in the signal are comparatively low. Validation of a HNR method requires testing the technique against synthesis data with a priori knowledge of the HNR. Time-domain methods that require individual period detection for HNR estimation can be problematic because of the difficulty in estimating the period markers for pathological voiced speech. Frequency domain methods encounter the problem of estimating noise at harmonic locations .Cepstral techniques have been introduced to supply noise estimates at all frequency locations in the spectrum (the Cepstral processing removes the harmonics from the spectrum).It is shown that the cepstrum-based noise baseline estimation process is comparable to applying a moving average MA filter to the power spectrum and hence the baseline receives contributions from the glottal source excited vocal tract and the noise excited vocal tract. Two important issues need to be considered with respect to HNR estimation for sustained vowel phonation when inferring glottal noise levels: HNR is a global indicator of voice periodicity.HNR is indirectly related to the noise level of the glottal source .HNR provides a global estimate of signal periodicity. Hence a low value of HNR can arise from any form of aperiodicity, for example, from aspiration noise, jitter, shimmer, nonstationarity of the vocal tract, or other waveform anomalies . Daryush Mehta has discussed about Aspiration Noise during Phonation: Synthesis, Analysis, and Pitch-Scale Modification. The current study investigates the synthesis and analysis of aspiration noise in synthesized and spoken vowels. Based on the linear source-filter model of speech production, author has implemented a vowel synthesizer in which the aspiration noise source is temporally modulated by the periodic source waveform. Modulations in the noise source waveform and their synchronism with the periodic source are shown to be salient for natural-sounding vowel synthesis. The accurate estimation of the aspiration noise component that contains energy across the frequency spectrum and temporal characteristics due to modulations in the noise source was a challenging task for the author. Spectral harmonic/noise component analysis of spoken vowels shows evidence of noise modulations with peaks in the estimated noise source component synchronous with both the open phase of the periodic source and with time instants of glottal closure . Due to natural modulations in the aspiration noise source, author has developed an alternate approach to the speech signal processing with the aim of accurate pitch-scale modification. The proposed strategy takes a dual processing approach, in which the periodic and noise components of the speech signal are separately analyzed, modified, and re-synthesized. The periodic component is modified using our implementation of time-domain pitch-synchronous overlap-add, and the noise component is handled by modifying characteristics of its source waveform. Author has modeled an inherent coupling between the original periodic and aspiration noise sources; the modification algorithm is designed to preserve the synchronism between temporal modulations of the two sources . The reconstructed modified signal is perceived to be natural-sounding and generally reduces artifacts. Arpit Mathur et.al. have discussed about the significance of parametric spectral ratio methods in detection and recognition of whispered speech . Kaladhar developed confusion matrix which is a matrix for a two-class classifier, contains information about actual and predicted classifications done by a classification system. The accuracy obtained by training the probabilistic neural network using Parkinson disease dataset got 100% as positives, predictions that an instance is positive, using WEKA 3 and Matlab v7. The data explored in this research was obtained from the Oxford Parkinson’s Disease Detection Dataset. Data mining is the process of extracting patterns from data. Data mining is an important tool to transform this data into information. Authors present results with accuracy obtained by training the probabilistic neural network using the above dataset . Xiao Li et.al. proposed a technique to reduce the likelihood computation in ASR systems that use continuous density HMMs. Based on the nature of dynamic features and the numerical properties of Gaussian mixture distributions, the observation likelihood computation is approximated to achieve a speedup. Although the technique does not show appreciable benefit in an isolated word task, it yields significant improvements in continuous speech recognition. For example, 50% of the computation can be saved on the TIMIT database with only a negligible degradation in system performance . Authors analyze the case with only static features and their deltas and focus on achieving computational saving by partially computing the observation probability in a Gaussian component. It ignores computing the dynamic-feature part of an observation vector when its static-feature part already falls in the tail of a Gaussian. This technique doesn’t require a complicated training procedure and brings almost no overhead to the decoding process. It is effective on both isolated word and connected word speech tasks, but works especially well on connected word recognition with high-dimensional dynamic features . Elisabeth Ahlsén has discussed different types of communication disorders. In case of Global aphasia there is nil or almost no linguistic communication. In case of Broca’s aphasia there is slow, effortful speech, telegram style, word finding problems known as anomia, relatively good comprehension. In case of Wernicke’s aphasia there is fluent verbose speech, word finding difficulties known as anomia, substitutions of words and sounds, impaired comprehension. In case of Anomic aphasia there are only word finding problems . Kristen Jacobson explains about auditory and language processing disorders as follows There are three general levels that speech sounds travel through while we are “listening”. The first level refers to the reception of sounds that occurs within our ears. A person who is diagnosed with a hearing impairment has difficulties perceiving sounds at this level. This problem is not referred to as a processing disorder. Central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) refer to difficulties discriminating, identifying and retaining sounds after the ears have heard the sounds. Individuals who experience difficulties attaching meaning to sound groups that form words, sentences and stories are often diagnosed with language processing disorders. They may also experience similar difficulties processing and organizing language for meaning during reading. Similar sounding words are often confused and some individuals may experience sensitivity to specific sounds. Reduced recognition of stress patterns and word boundaries within sentences is often present, especially during rapid speech or listening without visual cues. At times, only parts of messages are received accurately, so that messages and directions often appear incomplete. Specific language processing deficits are often reflected in delayed responses, the need to rehearse statements, and/or the need for frequent reviews while learning new information . There are various types of speech disorders in children described as follows. Articulation: There is difficulty in the production of individual or sequenced sounds. The speakers exhibit substitutions, omissions, additions, and distortions of syllables or words. The Motor or Neurogenic speech disorders result into speech difficulties and affect the planning, coordination, timing, and execution of speech movements. Apraxia of speech is neurogenic motor speech disorder affecting the planning of speech. There is difficulty with the voluntary, purposeful movement of speech .The causes are stroke, tumor, head injury, and developmental disorders. The speakers can produce individual sounds but cannot produce them in longer words or sentences. Voice disorders affect pitch, duration, intensity, resonance, and vocal quality parameters. Fluency disorders produce interruptions in the flow of speaking. It is also known as stuttering. It means frequent repetition and/or prolongation of words or sounds . Treatment of children with Speech Oral Placement Disorders (OPD)s needs various types of speech oral placement therapy (OPT) .Children with speech OPDs may have typical or a typical oral structures. The key to the definition of OPD lies in the child’s ability or inability to imitate auditory-visual stimuli and follow verbal oral placement instructions. Children with OPD cannot imitate targeted speech sounds using auditory and visual stimuli .They also cannot follow specific instructions to produce targeted speech sounds . Thomas Dubuisson et.al. described an analysis system aiming at discriminating between normal and pathological voices. Based on the normal and pathological samples included the database, it has been found that using two features (spectral decrease and first spectral tristimuli in the Bark scale). Music Information Retrieval ( ) aims at extracting information from music in order to build classification system of music. Temporal Domain features are Energy, mean, standard deviation. Spectral features are spectral Delta, Spectral Mean Value, Spectral Standard Deviation, Spectral Center of Gravity known as spectral centroid, Spectral Moments. The first four moments of the power spectrum M is used to compute the skewness defining the orientation of the PSD around its first moment. If it is positive, the PSD is more oriented to the right and to the left if is negative. The skewness is computed as Skewness = M )3/2 . The fourth moment is used to compute the kurtosis defining the acuity of the PSD around its first moment. A Gaussian distribution is having a kurtosis equal to 3, a distribution with a higher kurtosis is more acute than a Gaussian one while a distribution with a lower kurtosis is more flat than a Gaussian distribution. The kurtosis is computed as Kurtosis = M )2. The Soft Phonation Index is defined for the (0–1000 Hz) and (0–8000 Hz) frequency bands . Behnaz Ghoraani et.al. proposed a novel methodology for automatic pattern classification of pathological voices. The main contribution of this paper is extraction of meaningful and unique features using Adaptive time-frequency distribution (TFD) and nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). The proposed method extracts meaningful and unique features from the joint TFD of the speech, and automatically identifies and measures the abnormality of the signal. The proposed method is applied on the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI) voice disorders database. As a matter of fact from the TFD of abnormal speech it is evident that there are more transients in the abnormal signals, and the formants in pathological speech are more spread and are less structured . Corinne Fredouille et.al. have addressed voice disorder assessment. The goal of this methodology is to bring a better understanding of acoustic phenomena related to dysphonia. The automatic system was validated on dysphonic corpus (80) female voices. These observations led to a manual analysis of unvoiced plosives, which highlighted a lengthening of VOT according to the dysphonia severity validated by a preliminary statistical analysis. The feature vectors issued from this analysis, at a 10 millisecond rate, are finally normalized to fit a 0-mean and 1-variance distribution. The LFSC/MFSC computation is done by using the (GPL) SPRO toolkit. Finally, the feature vectors can be augmented by adding dynamic information representing the way these vectors vary in time. Here, first and second derivatives of static coefficients are considered (also named Δ and ΔΔ coefficients) resulting in 72 coefficients . Younggwan Kim et.al. discussed the role of the statistical model-based voice activity detector (SMVAD) to detect speech regions from input signals using the statistical models of noise and noisy speech. The LRT-based decision rule may cause detection errors because of statistical properties of noise and speech signals. Wiqas Ghai et.al. described automatic speech recognition system as comprised of modules Speech Signal acquisition ,Feature extraction, using MFCC is done . Acoustic Modeling is done for expected phonetics of the hypothesis word/sentence. For generating mapping between the basic speech units such as phones, tri-phones & syllables, a rigorous training is carried. During training, a pattern representative for the features of a class using one or more patterns corresponding to speech sounds of the same class. Language & Lexical Modeling is done with the help of Text Corpus, Pronunciation Dictionary and Language Model . Lucas Leon Oller presents analysis of voice signals for the Harmonics-to-Noise crossover frequency .The harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) has been used to assess the behavior of the vocal fold closure. The objective is to find a particular harmonics-to-noise crossover frequency (HNF) where the harmonic components of the voice drop below the noise floor, and use it as an indicator of the vocal fold insufficiency. . As the range used for the calculation of the cepstrum approaches the lowest octaves, the growth of the rahmonics should accelerate at some point, the range is going to contain harmonics that are above the noise floor level, and then the energy of the rahmonics will start to faster. That point would be the harmonics-to-noise crossover frequency . Daryl Ning has developed an Isolated Word Recognition System in MATLAB. A robust speech-recognition system combines accuracy of identification with the ability to filter out noise and adapt to other acoustic conditions, such as the speaker’s speech rate and accent. It requires detailed knowledge of signal processing and statistical modeling . Daniel Jurafsky et.al. presented a case study of Star trek where robots converse with humans in natural Dialogue system with language conversational agents. Various components that make up modern conversational agents, including language input and language output dialogue ,automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding ,response planning , speech synthesis systems and the goal of machine translation which leads to automatic translation of a document from one language to another is explained here . Steven Pruett describes speech as the motor act of communicating by articulating verbal expression and Language as the knowledge of a symbol system used for interpersonal communication. Mary Planchart has explained four domains of language namely Phonology, Grammar , Morphology ,Syntax , and Pragmatics , . Eric J. Hunter has presented a case study of a 5 year old healthy male child. He has analyzed comparison of the child’s fundamental frequencies in structured elicited vocalizations versus unstructured natural vocalizations. The child also wore a National Center for Voice and Speech voice dosimeter, a device that collects voice data over the course of an entire day, during all activities for 34 hours over 4 days. It was observed that the child’s long-term F distribution is not normal. If this distribution is consistent in long-term, unstructured natural vocalization patterns of children, statistical mean would not be a valid measure. Author has suggested mode and median as two parameters which convey more accurate information about typical F PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH ALL NURSING ASSIGNMENTS TODAY AND GET AN AMAZING DISCOUNT

Just like anything else, the use of opioid to treat chronic pain has benefits and side effects. Chronic pain is a pain that lasts longer than 3 to 6 months. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports in 2016 revealed that about 20.4 percent of U.S. adults had chronic pain. People with constant pain complaints of impaired physical functioning and reduced quality of life. Sometimes, chronic pain is the leading cause of disability. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2019), the prescription for opioid to treat chronic pain tripled from 1999 to 2015. The benefits of longterm use of an opioid to treat chronic pain are not clear. To effectively treat chronic pain, it would be beneficial to combined opioids with nonpharmacologic therapy. The nonpharmacologic approaches can be behavioral therapy for short-term pain relief and physical treatments and acupuncture. The combination of these therapies can promote the comfort of long-term pain and disability In treating chronic pain, clinicians should have a set goal, which includes how the benefits should outweigh the harms. If the benefit falls short of the damage, it is advisable to taper the opioids, or change to another medication. Opioids act on opioid receptors to produce their effects. Many of them are prescription drug (morphine, oxycodone, codeine, fentanyl, and Meperidine), while some are not such as heroin. That is one of the reasons why people use heroin illegally. Its medicinal content is used to treat moderate to severe pain. As stated above, clinicians order opioid to treat a patient because the benefits outweigh the harm. However, sometimes, the prescriber or the patient can abuse the medication. There are different types of opioids, including morphine, and oxycodone. Each opioid has a high potency for abuse. Loperamide, a structural analog of Meperidine, on the other hand, is used to treat a high volume output from an ileostomy. It is the most effective anti-diarrhea agent. The medication activates the opioid receptors in the gastrointestinal receptors to slow intestinal transit. After assessing the allergic reaction, opioids are the drug of choice to treat post-operatively pain. As humans, our body contains opioid chemicals endorphins. The endorphins, when activated, relieves pain by attaching to the opioid receptors. In that situation, the endorphins would dull the perception of pain. That is why opioids are so useful for people recovering from post-operative surgery and serious injuries. During the end of life (hospice) care, opioid such as morphine can be used for comfort care when the patient feels agitated. If opioids have such medicinal advantage, why do people abuse it?. When there are not enough receptors for opioids to attach, there would be too many free-flowing opioids in the system that affect the brain’s reward system. This situation would make the person feel euphoric. For that matter, some people use opioids for that purpose to explore high. However, when the abuse leads to addiction, there is no cure, we can only maintain it. The abuser would be at risk for other illegal activities, and health problems, and possible death. According to Chou, R., Fanciullo, J. G., Perry G. and Fine, G. P. et al. (2009), they concluded that long-term opioid therapy was associated with increased risk of abuse, overdose, fracture, myocardial infarction, and markers of sexual dysfunction. Also, from the CDC report (2016), in agreement with Chou, R., Fanciullo, J. G., Perry G. and Fine, G. P. et al. (2009), long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain is minimal. Instead, it leads to an increased risk of serious harms that appears to be dose-dependent.” People abuse opioids either prescription or nonprescription in the name of relieving pain. Opioids are an addictive drug. Abusing opioids tends to slow down breathing; CDC report (2016) about 20,000 people die from a prescriptive opioid overdose every year in the United States of America, of which 75% are teens. Prescription of opioid does not favor heroin. That is because heroin gets to the body and brain at the same time; it produces sudden extreme euphoria that does not last long. For that reason, it is easy to get addicted to it. So, it is no wonder why heroin is more easily to lay hands on the street at an affordable price. On the other hand, opioids such as morphine are pharmaceutically designed to affect pain or the intended use gradual. The most recognizable opioid (agonist) drug that people mostly abuse is morphine. Opiate is meant to treat moderate to severe pain, yet some people would crush morphine into a powder form so they can snort to get an immediate feeling. The resulting harmful effects if not treated immediately, can result in a detrimental impact on health, such as respiratory depression. Clinicians always reserve Narcan towards any side effects from opioids. Narcan blocks opioids from attaching to opioid receptors; therefore, it is reserved to prevent a person from dying of an overdose. Narcan is an antagonist medication that is designed to reverse the harmful effects of an opioid overdose. Substance abuse is the intentional or unintentional use of a drug that is not consistent with medical practice, or that has not authorized by a physician. People who abuse drugs have a reason or influenced by a friend. If a physician prescribed for a patient 30 mg tablet of morphine for severe pain, it is not abuse. However, if a different or the same patient administer 30 mg of morphine by his or her personal decision to relieve pain, it is drug abuse. Also, methadone is designed to prevent an opioid-addicted person from feeling cravings, and not enough for them to get high when using alone. That helps avoid relapse while their brain gradually heals. Methadone is one of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications program, designed to combines behavior therapy and medication to treat substance use disorders. Methadone is an antagonist-agonist opioid that can trick the brain into thinking it is still getting the abused drug. Methadone makes the patients feel that they are not getting high and that they feel healthy. That helps the patient to get rid of the abused drug. In those instances, the methadone becomes an antagonist drug. Because withdrawal is less likely when the patients take the right dose, it would serve a the primary (agonist) opioid drug for the patients. However, most abusers consider methadone as a new prescription, and they would not stop using. We must regularly assess and reassess the patient at least every three months at the minimum to evaluate opioid abuse. To avoid opioid addiction, the nurse practitioner should make sure patients take opioid pain medications only as prescribed for its intended use. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2019).

Jörg Nowak, NACLA, 13 avril 2021 (traduction Charmain Levy) Les experts de la santé l’ont annoncé depuis des semaines. Début mars, le système de santé brésilien est entré dans un état d’effondrement sous le poids d’un pic national d’infections du COVID-19. Les hôpitaux n’étaient pas en mesure de s’occuper de tous les patients nécessitant un traitement. À la fin du mois de mars, dans tout le Brésil, plus de 6000 personnes attendaient un lit aux soins intensifs, la plupart dans des centres de santé surpeuplés et des services d’urgence sans l’équipement et le personnel nécessaires au traitement. L’année a commencé avec l’effondrement des systèmes de santé dans les États d’Amazonas et de Roraima dans le nord du Brésil, où est née la nouvelle variante P1 plus contagieuse du Coronavirus. Le ministre de la Santé Eduardo Pazuello a reçu des avertissements à la fin décembre 2020 selon lesquels des pénuries d’oxygène dans l’état d’Amazonas pourraient survenir à la mi-janvier, mais il n’a agi que lorsque ce manque a inévitablement entraîné de nombreux décès le 11 janvier dans la capitale Manaus. Sonnettes d’alarme et avertissements ignorés L’augmentation extraordinaire des taux d’infection et des décès dans l’État d’Amazonas a sonné l’alarme des experts de la santé à travers le pays, mais le gouvernement fédéral a ignoré tous les avertissements. Au lieu de cela, au milieu d’une baisse de popularité due à la crise sanitaire, Bolsonaro a décroché un coup d’État avec les élections du président du Parlement et du Sénat début février. Les candidats modérés en opposition à Bolsonaro étaient les premiers favoris pour ces élections, mais Bolsonaro a préalablement distribué des millions de reals (R $) aux municipalités, et ses deux candidats ont remporté les deux postes. Cette manœuvre a permis au gouvernement Bolsonaro de forger une relation plus étroite avec les partis du Centrão (un groupement de politiciens centristes clientélistes) comme base de ses projets législatifs, puisque le gouvernement ne dispose pas d’une majorité propre. Néanmoins, environ la moitié des délégués parlementaires de chaque parti se sont alignés au gouvernement Bolsonaro pour les élections, conduisant à des luttes intestines au sein des deux partis. L’arrangement n’a pas duré longtemps car la personne qui en aurait le plus profité s’en est tenue à sa politique erratique et s’est retrouvée dans l’isolement politique: Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Au centre de l’isolement croissant se trouve sa réticence à accepter publiquement les mesures les plus évidentes pour contenir la pandémie de COVID-19: les verrouillages, les couvre-feux, l’isolement social et le port de masques. Cela a conduit à une énorme frustration et angoisse dans l’armée et dans le secteur des entreprises, qui ont finalement compris que toute prolongation d’une pandémie incontrôlée nuirait aux profits. Désaffection des entreprises et vapeurs de diesel Mais il y avait une deuxième raison pour laquelle le monde de l’entreprise s’est brouillé avec Bolsonaro, culminant dans une lettre de 300 chefs d’entreprise et économistes, publiée le 22 mars, appelant à une politique nationale de lutte contre la pandémie basée sur la science. La lettre, symbolisant le profond mécontentement du monde des affaires et de la finance à l’égard du président, a été précédée par la destitution du président favorable au marché de la compagnie pétrolière publique Petrobras par Bolsonaro le 19 février. Petrobras était au centre du retrait de Dilma Rousseff de sa présidence et la condamnation pénale de l’ancien président Lula. La lutte décisive pour le pouvoir entre le Parti ouvrier social-démocrate (PT) et le centre-droit a toujours porté sur la stratégie autour de Petrobras, qui commande une technologie d’exploration très avancée et a accès à l’un des plus grands champs pétrolifères du monde, découvert dans le Années 2000. La lutte s’articule autour de deux stratégies alternatives. Premièrement, la stratégie du PT vise une stratégie nationale de développement avec un certain contrôle sur les prix de l’essence pour les consommateurs nationaux, tant privés que privés. En revanche, la stratégie de centre-droit vise à permettre aux géants pétroliers européens et américains d’accéder aux champs pétrolifères des eaux brésiliennes, à privatiser Petrobras et à permettre aux prix du pétrole de s’aligner étroitement sur les prix du marché mondial. Les deux stratégies représentent les alternatives classiques entre une bourgeoisie nationale essayant de s’établir sur le marché mondial avec l’ajout d’une stratégie nationale spécifique, se transformant en puissance sous-impérialiste en Amérique latine, et la stratégie de la bourgeoisie compradore qui est immédiatement soumise aux capitalistes d’Europe et d’Amérique du Nord. La tête dans le sable L’escalade de la crise sanitaire et la diminution du soutien à Bolsonaro parmi les élites corporatives et financières ont conduit à un réarrangement des forces politiques. Depuis début mars, le nombre d’infections et de décès dus au COVID-19 a augmenté rapidement dans tout le Brésil. La majorité des États connaissent des unités de soins intensifs surchargées. Le 22 mars, dans l’État de São Paulo qui compte 45 millions d’habitants, 30 000 personnes ont été hospitalisées avec le COVID-19, dont 12 000 dans des lits de soins intensifs. À titre de comparaison, l’Allemagne compte quelque 80 millions d’habitants et une capacité de soins intensifs de 10000 lits pour les patients COVID-19, soit à peine la moitié de la capacité par personne de l’État de São Paulo. Alors que la crise sanitaire fait rage, Bolsonaro continue de dénoncer les verrouillages et les couvre-feux. Il est même allé à la Cour suprême le 19 mars avec une injonction pour interdire aux gouverneurs et maires fédéraux de décider des fermetures et des couvre-feux. Cela a été rejeté par le tribunal en raison du fait que la signature du procureur de l’État fédéral ne lui manquait pas – il s’est avéré qu’il a refusé de fournir la signature. À ce stade, Lira, Pacheco et le Centrão ont décidé de recueillir sur l’accord que Bolsonaro avait avec eux: ils ont exigé un changement au ministère de la Santé. Eduardo Pazuello était devenu ministre de la Santé en mai 2020. Il a finalement été remplacé le 23 mars par Marcelo Queiroga, un cardiologue qui a immédiatement lancé des appels à la distanciation sociale et aux masques, et a installé un comité national de crise pour contenir la pandémie. Il s’est prononcé contre un verrouillage national, mais ses positions représentent une grande amélioration par rapport à celles de Pazuello, qui a continué à promouvoir la chloroquine comme traitement contre le COVID-19. Le retour de Lula Un autre événement qui a frappé la scène politique au Brésil comme une bombe et une pression accrue sur Bolsonaro a été la décision du juge de la Cour suprême Edson Fachin d’annuler toutes les charges contre l’ancien président Lula le 8 mars, ce qui l’a immédiatement rendu éligible à des fonctions politiques. Lula avait été condamné à la prison dans deux affaires distinctes. Fachin avait jugé, conformément à des décisions antérieures, que le tribunal de Curitiba, dirigé par le futur ministre de la Justice Sergio Moro, n’était pas légalement habilité à juger les affaires, car elles n’étaient pas immédiatement liées à l’entreprise publique Petrobras. En conséquence, un tribunal de Brasilia se prononcera à nouveau sur les deux affaires, mais ce tribunal peut également décider de les abandonner. L’embarras de la Cour suprême à l’égard de Bolsonaro est devenu si prononcé qu’elle a simplement décidé d’annuler les peines prononcées contre Lula. Pourtant, plus tard en mars, la Cour suprême a officiellement décidé que Moro devait être détenu sous le soupçon de ne pas avoir été impartial dans le jugement de Lula, ce qui signifie que le nouveau tribunal de Brasilia n’est pas en mesure d’utiliser les preuves existantes des enquêtes précédentes et aura de rassembler de nouvelles preuves pour les cas, ce qui rend improbable que Lula soit à nouveau condamné avant les prochaines élections présidentielles. La décision d’annuler les peines prononcées contre Lula et de les transférer dans un nouveau tribunal était autant une décision politique, influencée par la conjoncture, que les condamnations antérieures contre lui. Alors qu’auparavant les juges voulaient se débarrasser du PT, ils veulent maintenant abandonner Bolsonaro. Lula a prononcé un discours tonitruant deux jours après l’annulation, démontrant sa capacité à toucher un large public, réitérant son affirmation selon laquelle il était le premier président brésilien à avoir conclu une alliance entre le travail et le capital. Les militaires, les vaccinations et les cimetières ouvert 24 heures sur 24 Dans cet environnement, Lira, Pacheco et le Centrão ont exigé la destitution de son ministre de l’extérieur, Ernesto Araújo, l’un des fanatiques de droite les plus fous du gouvernement. Plus grave encore, il a été accusé d’avoir empêché les importations de vaccins d’atteindre le Brésil en quantités suffisantes, en raison de ses attaques constantes contre la Chine, d’où proviennent la majeure partie des importations d’intrants pour les vaccins. Pourtant, Bolsonaro affiche à plusieurs reprises la capacité de transformer un moment faible en une force en passant à l’offensive, et il a essayé la même chose cette fois. Araújo a quitté son poste le 29 mars sous la pression générale, et Bolsonaro a profité de l’occasion pour changer cinq autres ministres. Le changement le plus significatif qu’il a entrepris a été le limogeage du ministre de la Défense, Fernando Azevedo e Silva, qui avait protégé les forces armées contre la politisation souhaitée par Bolsonaro. L’armée gère un protocole strict dans ses rangs pour contenir la propagation du coronavirus, ce qui a entraîné un faible taux de mortalité parmi ses membres. Le haut commandement de l’armée était également mécontent du fait que Pazuello soit ministre de la Santé, craignant un impact négatif sur la réputation des forces armées. La destitution d’Azevedo e Silva a conduit les trois commandants des forces armées – de l’armée, des marines et de l’armée de l’air – à proposer de démissionner de leurs fonctions conjointement, en solidarité avec le ministre démis, un événement sans précédent. Bolsonaro a par la suite rejeté les trois. Ces actions ont démontré l’unité des forces armées contre toute idée de la transformer en un animal de compagnie que Bolsonaro peut déchaîner pour intimider les opposants politiques. Bien qu’elle soit conçue comme une initiative surprise avec la menace d’un coup d’État en arrière-plan, l’action de Bolsonaro est largement perçue comme ayant intensifié l’animosité à son encontre au sein du haut commandement de l’armée. Par conséquent, Bolsonaro a perdu le soutien crucial des partis clientélistes du centre, des forces armées et des élites corporatives et financières. Alors que le soutien populaire à sa présidence est toujours stable à 33% selon un sondage réalisé entre le 29 et le 31 mars par Poderdata, le taux de rejet de Bolsonaro est passé à 59%. Dans les premiers jours d’avril, le nombre d’infections au COVID-19 a atteint un plateau d’environ 80000 nouveaux cas par jour, et le nombre de décès continue d’augmenter, atteignant une moyenne hebdomadaire de 2700 par jour. Seules en mars, plus de 66 000 personnes sont mortes du COVID-19 au Brésil. Le nombre de vaccinations augmente enfin, 9% de la population ayant désormais reçu une première dose, et le nouveau ministre de la Santé a promis de vacciner 1 million de personnes par jour en avril. Les experts préviennent qu’une nouvelle crise pourrait survenir lorsque les cimetières seraient surchargés, ce qui pourrait alors provoquer une série d’épidémies bactériennes. Dans l’État de São Paulo, les cimetières procèdent déjà à des enterrements 24 heures sur 24 pour éviter l’émergence de nouveaux risques pour la santé publique. Pendant tout ce temps, le président Bolsonaro se moque des chaînes de télévision qui rapportent la pandémie sous le nom de « TV cimetière ». • Jörg Nowak est professeur invité à l’Université de Brasilia, au Brésil.

To Celebrate Its 50th Anniversary Bass Pro Shops Announces the WORLD’S FISHING FAIR: THE GREATEST FISHING SHOW & SALE ON EARTH! Plan Now to Attend, March 30-April 3, 2022. The Bass Pro Shops National Headquarters—the Grandaddy of all Outdoor Stores and Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium—to host one-of-a-kind celebration of fishing, conservation, the great outdoors and the company’s 50th anniversary. SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (Feb. 21, 2022)—The World’s Fishing Fair, an exclusive presentation of Bass Pro Shops, is a one-of-a-kind showcase of fishing, boating, conservation, and the great outdoors. Live from the Bass Pro Shops National Headquarters in Springfield, Missouri—the fishing capital of the world and headwaters of the largest conservation movement that our country has seen in decades—the Fair is headlined by concerts from country music superstars including such greats as Hank Williams Jr., Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Chris Janson and more to be announced— exhibitions, fishing personalities and unbeatable savings. At its most essential, the Fair is a five-day celebration of fishing—and all of the people, products, stories, places, traditions and experiences that make it so wonderful. Not only is the Fair the greatest fishing show and sale on Earth, but 50% of proceeds from all of the Fair’s event admissions will be donated to support conservation. The 2022 World’s Fishing Fair will be the second iteration of the storied event. Building on the success of World’s Fishing Fair in 1988, this year’s fair is destined to be the largest event in the history of angling. Concerts for Conservation provide visitors the opportunity to support conservation and have a blast at performances by a world class lineup of country music stars. Joining country music headliners are NASCAR legends, America’s top fishing pros, top outdoor personalities and some of the brightest minds on the conservation landscape. The World’s Fishing Fair Concerts for Conservation lineup features some of the biggest names in country music. Exclusive for CLUB Members: Special Financing on Purchases of $500 or More One-of-a-Kind Guest Experience.

The Fair will also feature Turkey Days, an exhibit composed of a select group of turkey hunting vendors. Rounding out the experience, some of the best writers and journalists in the outdoor space will be in attendance. By showcasing the intersection of fishing, lifestyle and conservation, the World’s Fishing Fair heightens the profile of giving back and being connected to the great outdoors. Raising the Profile of Conservation In many ways, the first World’s Fishing Fair in 1988 put Bass Pro Shops on the map. In the months following the event, Bass Pro Shops began receiving guests from all 50 states every 30 days. The second iteration of the World’s Fishing Fair builds on the company’s tradition of innovation in leadership—in the outdoor retails space and in its approach to conservation. As Bass Pro Shops commemorates the 50th anniversary of its founding, its commitment to conservation has touched nearly every corner of North America. The World’s Fishing Fair, with its lineup of Concerts for Conservation and donation of admissions and event proceeds to support conservation, reinforces Bass Pro Shops’ commitment to transforming how people and companies relate to conservation. For the past decade, the company has invested an average of 10% of its annual earnings into support for conservation. Bass Pro Shops is the largest lifetime industry donor in the history of Ducks Unlimited, the National Wild Turkey Federation, the International Gamefish Association and many other groups. The World’s Fishing Fair reinforces this conservation leadership by raising the profile of natural resources and providing an exciting, entertaining vehicle through which to support conservation while partaking in a once-in-a-lifetime fishing experience. That conservation shares the headline with legends of country music and NASCAR is exciting—for the future of fish and wildlife and for anyone who loves fishing and the great outdoors.

Changing the job submission method Published on October 04, 2024 The current limits of the web server do not allow requests to be made with too many pixels and wavelengths. It is now necessary to give your email for the sYSOm model for a number of px greater than 512 and a number of wavelengths greater than 50, the calculations are transferred to a more powerful calculation machine. Link result is now send by email. Update from version 21.09 to 24.03.1 of ASPRO2 Published on April 02, 2024 Following the use of an old version (v21.09) of Aspro2, the Hz unit was not managed in the OIFits cubes. To resolve this problem we have updated ASPRO2 (v24.03.1) on the Amhra service. Modification of CRPIX1, 2, 3 on Bedisk Model Published on January 23, 2024 This is a correction of the wavelength table in the fit. This modification allows the wavelength vector to be correctly generated when reading .fits images of Bedisk model. Added units for Models Published on July 07, 2023 Information on the units of model images have been included in the text of presentation and in the .fits of the models. v1.8.0 New model sYSOm: simple young stellar object (YSO) model Published on February 08, 2023 Model of the continuum emission from a young stellar object (YSO) composed by a central star, modeled as a blackbody, and a dusty circumstellar disk. The disk is assumed to be geometrically flat with radial-dependent temperature and surface density prescribed by power laws. The local intensity of the disk, seen at a given inclination, is then given by a blackbody emission at the local temperature weighted by an factor that depends on the local surface density and a chosen dust-opacity model. In addition to images at different wavelengths, sYSOm can also provide the total spectral flux (spectral energy distributions). sYSOm is well suited to model simple YSO objects in the near- and mid-infrared. v1.7.1 update: Modification of the maximum and minimum size of images (in px) on the ALDES and SATLAS models. Published on November 26, 2022 This update makes it possible to standardize the size of the images produced by the models. Submission limits and associated error messages were also handled. The update also includes a server-side intervention to restore the rights allowing the proper execution of the scripts, making it possible to ensure the functioning of all the models. Interoperability with Aspro2 and Kinematic Be disk upgrade Published on April 12, 2022 The interoperability with Aspro2 has been improved by work on both Aspro2 and AMHRA. Since updates on March 7, FITS image can be sent to Aspro2 using the SAMP interaction on the AMHRA page, and by accepting the incoming request in the Aspro2 software window. See March 7 updates also include various fixes in Kinematic Be disk. These include adding the resolution for GRAVITY and including more metadata to the FITS file. With a companion Aspro2 update, a unit issue was v1.4.0 update: New ALDES model and various fixes Published on May 27, 2021 A new limb-darkening model has been added: ALDES. The model calculates profiles and/or images using various geometries (spherical or elliptical) and laws (uniform disk, linear, power law, quadratic, square root, logarithmic and four-parameter). In addition, this update comes with a large number of improvements, mainly aimed at handling multiple simultaneous users, and having isolated analyses runs for better reproducibility and traceability of the results. SAMP also does not require you to run a TLS hub anymore. v1.3.0 update: Miscellaneous improvements Published on December 2, 2020 In this update, the website layout has been entirely reviewed to make it easier to use, with more detailed help, sample parameter files, updated documentation and on the fly form validation. A glitch with SAMP interaction has also been fixed. AMHRA is still under active development. Therefore, we encourage you again to signal us issues or request features through the New: SAMP function Published on July 6, 2020 You can now use SAMP on any results page to interact with common VO tools. New: Help on parameters and documentation Published on April 10, 2020 (updated: May 11, 2020) For the DISCO, Binary spiral and Evolved stars (RSG, AGB) models, we now offer help in the form of information buttons. You will also find a PDF file in the Binary spiral model “Documentation and acknowledgments” section that documents the use of the service. You can also contact us in the Feedback section. Besoins futurs en tâches de service JMMC/MOIO/AMHRA Published on March 15, 2020 Le SNO5 MOIO (Méthodes et Outils pour l'Interférométrie Optique; responsable G. Duvert), coordonné par le JMMC (Pôle National de traitement des données interférométriques IR/Visible; responsable G. Duvert), maintient le service AMHRA (Analyse et Modélisation pour la Haute Résolution Angulaire), dont le responsable est A. Domiciano de Souza. L'exploitation scientifique optimale et élargie à toute la communauté des instruments interférométriques modernes (e.g., VLTI/GRAVITY, VLTI/MATISSE, et CHARA/SPICA à partir de début 2022) a demandé une évolution des outils de modélisation et d'analyse permettant (1) la préparation des observations et (2) l'interprétation de données, grâce à l'inclusion d'ingrédients physiques et des aspects polychromatiques (dépendance en longueur d'onde). AMHRA, qui a pour but de répondre à ces besoins, est entré dans sa phase de mise à disposition au public en 2019 (https://amhra.oca.eu/), avec l'ouverture du nouveau portail web du JMMC (https://www.jmmc.fr/). AMHRA offre actuellement différents types de modèles (e.g. étoiles massives, Be, supergéantes rouges ou bleues, profils d'intensité pour étoiles FGK naines) sous forme de codes numériques rapides ou encore de grilles de modèles pré-calculées avec des codes de transfert radiatif sophistiqués. Des outils d'analyse pour comparaison modèles-observations sont également offerts. AMHRA a vocation à se développer dans le long terme, en s'adaptant aux nouveaux instruments en HRA et à leur précision et leur résolution (angulaire et spectrale) croissantes. Il est ainsi nécessaire d'accroître l'offre de modèles et outils dans AMHRA, avec en particulier les besoins futurs en tâche de service suivants identifiés comme prioritaires : - Travail conséquent pour la création ou mise à disposition de profils d'intensité théoriques multi-longueur d'ondes (modèles d'assombrissement centre-bord ACB) couvrant tout le diagramme H-R. Ces modèles peuvent provenir de codes 1D tels que MARCS/Turbospectrum, SATLAS, TLUSTY/SYNSPEC, CMFGEN, ainsi que de codes permettant une modélisation en 3D. Ce profils sont indispensables pour l'obtention de paramètres fondamentaux précis, et notamment pour attendre une précision de diamètres angulaires meilleure que 1 % à partir de mesures interférométriques futures, en particulier celles de l'instrument CHARA/SPICA. En même temps, ces mesures précises permettront d'optimiser l'exploitation scientifique d'instruments tels que PLATO, mais également TESS, CHEOPS et autres. CHARA/SPICA et PLATO sont classés comme indispensables dans la prospective 2019-2023 du PNPS. En offrant divers modèles d'ACB 1D et 3D, AMHRA permet de comparer ces modèles en fonction des différents paramètres (e.g. Teff, log g, overshooting, métallicité) et ainsi fournir des mesures de diamètres angulaires précises et non-biaisées. Les meilleurs modèles ainsi calibrés sur des étoiles suffisamment résolues pourront ensuite être utilisés pour l'étude d'un grand nombre (plusieurs milliers) d'étoiles moins résolues ainsi que pour l'exploitation scientifique optimale de projets demandant une connaissance précise de lois d'ACB et de diamètres angulaires. - Travail visant à rendre disponible des modèles (grille ou modèles rapides) de disques protoplanétaires autour d'étoiles jeunes (massives et de faible masse). Ces modèles, non offerts actuellement par AMHRA, apporteront une importante plus-value aux données scientifique de VLTI/MATISSE. En effet, l'étude de disques protoplanétaires constitue une des priorités scientifiques de MATISSE et ce thème scientifique a également été identifié par le PNPS comme étant prioritaire pour la prospective 2019-2023. - Rendre les modèles (existants et futurs) offerts par AMHRA compatibles (couverture et résolution spectrale spectrale, échantillonnage spatial) avec le plus grand nombre d'interféromètres opérant dans le visible, proche et moyen infrarouge, et éventuellement dans le mm. - Assistance continue aux utilisateurs et création de guides d'utilisation. Également travailler sur l'amélioration permanente des interfaces web pour faciliter l'utilisation de modèles, maintenir et développer l'interopérabilité avec les autres outils MOIO (e.g. ASPRO2, LITPro), tout en respectant les standards Observatoire Virtuel. Si besoin, participer à l'ajustement de ces standards aux formats d'images (cartes d'intensité polychromatique) utilisées dans la modélisation pour l'interférométrie. Un renforcement avec les activités du SUV (Service aux Utilisateurs du VLTI) est également nécessaire visant une grande synergie entre les services JMMC. En effet, en profitant de l'expertise scientifique dans AMHRA et de son interopérabilité avec les autres outils MOIO, le SUV peut aller encore plus loin dans son objectif d'apporter un vrai plus en termes d'interprétation de données à ses utilisateurs. - Développement de différents outils d'analyse adaptés à des modèles physiques (image polychromatiques) avec différentes résolutions spatiales et spectrales et aux divers interféromètres (passés, présents et futurs). Ces outils doivent permettre par exemple de contraindre l'espace de paramètres physiques (e.g. recherche de minima de chi2, estimation d'incertitudes et de corrélations) sous la contrainte des des données interférométriques, avec la possibilité de rajouter d'autres types de données telles que spectroscopiques et photométriques. Les outils doivent être adaptés à l'utilisation de grilles de modèles pré-calculées ou de modèles physiques « rapides » (calcul temps-réel). - Animation scientifique autour d'AMHRA : actions de communication (e.g. conférences), écoles d'interférométrie (e.g. VLTI School). Contacts : A. Domiciano de Souza (OCA) et G. Duvert (IPAG) AMHRA service is available again Published on February 12, 2020 The service is up again. The Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur computing services were able to recover all the data following a technical incident on its servers.

It is with both sadness and excitement that I share the news that Jess and I will be leaving Amington in the summer. We are sad because we’ve had some wonderful times here over the past five years – not least being pelted with wet sponges at the summer fairs – and excited to be starting something new. All being well, on 3 August Bishop David will license me as vicar of Christ Church Selly Park, in Birmingham. So we won’t be moving too far away! It’s been a long and convoluted process – I actually first felt called to the role back in August last year, but the timing wasn’t right. After a lot of prayer during the autumn I eventually applied right at the last minute, and was interviewed and selected as the preferred candidate on 8 December. Everything was then put on ice because of Christmas and then the lockdown, before Bishop David was finally able to offer me the job during Holy Week. The hardest thing was not being allowed to say anything until the official announcement. I’ve had many conversations when I’ve wanted to share this, but have not been allowed to. I apologise for that secrecy, especially if you feel deceived or misled. You will have many questions I’m sure – please don’t be scared to ask me, though I can’t promise to know the answer! Our last Sunday is likely to be 27 June, after which Jess and I will have two weeks off before moving house in the middle of July. I will however still be taking all the weddings after we move, until the end of August. We will be discussing all this further at our PCC meeting on Wednesday evening, at which we will be joined by our Area Dean Louise Shaw, and hopefully also Archdeacon Simon Heathfield. Leading a church through a vacancy is not easy, especially for Church Wardens, so please be kind to Carol, but more than that, please be helpful! My hope and prayer is that lots of you will be willing to help, so the burden of work doesn’t fall on two or three people. I know it is a challenge when churches lose their vicar, but it is also an opportunity – because actually you aren’t ‘my’ church – we are, together, Jesus’ church. That’s why our motto is ‘following Jesus together’. My prayer for you is that you continue to follow him more and more.

The hosts fell to a narrow defeat in their group opener against Roma, while the French champions swept past Galatasaray on matchday one. Wolfsburg were forced to go through Women's Champions League qualifying after they lost out to Bayern Munich in last season's Frauen-Bundesliga title race. Their second-round qualifying tie against Fiorentina proved to be a formality, as Tommy Stroot's side produced a free-scoring display to ease into the main draw with a 12-0 aggregate victory. Unfortunately for Wolfsburg, they were unable to repeat that sort of dominance in last week's group opener against Italian champions Roma. Manuela Giugliano's first-half penalty proved enough to condemn Die Wolfinnen to a narrow 1-0 victory, leaving them with work to do in the next five matchdays if they are to reach the quarter-finals for the 12th time in 13 seasons. After ending Bayern's 44-game unbeaten league run, Stroot's charges will now look to record a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions. Lyon are hoping to make another bid to add to their eight European titles after they fell short in last season's final against Barcelona. Montemurro has made a promising start to his tenure, having seen his side win all five of their matches in all competitions, including a successful outing in last week's Women's Champions League clash with Galatasaray. They will now turn their focus to Thursday's tricky away trip, where they will look to extend their unbeaten away run in European competition to 11 matches. Lyon can also take confidence from the fact that they have won each of their last three meetings with Wolfsburg in regulation time, including a 3-1 victory in their most recent encounter in the 2019-20 Women's Champions League final. Endemann could make her second European start of the season after finding the net in Saturday's crucial league win. Beerensteyn came off the bench to score the second goal against Bayern, and the Netherlands international is likely to be recalled for the midweek away trip. As for the visitors, Selma Bacha remains unavailable for selection after sitting out the last six matches through injury. After making some changes at the weekend, Montemurro could revert to the side that started the 3-0 win over Galatasaray. Diani will continue to offer one of Lyon's main goal threats, having scored five goals in her last five competitive appearances. Wolfsburg Women possible starting lineup: Frohms; Wilms, Hendrich, Hegering, Linder; Minge, Lattwein; Endemann, Huth, Brand, Beerensteyn; Popp Lyon Women possible starting lineup: Endler; Carpenter, Gilles, Renard, Svava; Marozsan, Van de Donk, Horan; Diani, Chawinga, Dumornay We say: Wolfsburg Women 2-2 Lyon Women Lyon may have won the last three head-to-head meetings in regulation time, but we think that they will have to settle for a share of the spoils when they face a Wolfsburg side that are unbeaten in their last eight home matches in all competitions.

Designed for 3 adults (and all their gear) or 2 adults and 2 children, the Safari Vista will hold 400kg / 880lbs. This tent is rated for 3,500 hours of UV exposure. The Safari Vista 3-Person Tree Tent uses aSafari Trillium 3-Person Hammockas a base and has a fully removable insect mesh and rainfly allowing you to use it as a hammock, a hammock with a roof or as a 3-season tree tent with an insect mesh room. Comes fitted with 3 x mesh underfloor storage nets keeping your gear safe and out of the way while you sleep. The removable rainfly is made from 70D polyester fabric, PU coated to 8,000HH and covers the tent keeping you dry in all weather conditions but it does not like heavy snowfall ( over an inch ). The rainfly extends outwards from the tent giving you a large, dry area underneath the tent to store gear or act as covered living space. A large central hatch makes it easy to climb in and out of the tent and reach all parts of the interior without having to climb inside for forgotten items.

Each of our products has a UV rating which advises on average how many hours the product can be left out exposed to sunlight. This can vary depending on climate and altitude. If left out in the sun for prolonged periods of time UV degradation will occur, affecting both the color and strength of your product. Our best practice advice is to pack away your tree tent or hammock after each use, ensuring it is both clean and dry.

Wie in Amsterdam is, kan er niet om heen: een grachtenpand. Langs de grachten staan er honderden en hun lange en bijzondere uiterlijk is als een lust voor het oog. De meeste van deze panden zijn zelfs honderden jaren uit en daarom zeer authentiek. We vinden zo’n grachtenpand bijna allemaal wel mooi, maar kennen we ook de geschiedenis erachter? Hoe zijn deze herenpanden ontstaan en hoeveel zijn ze waard deze dagen? In dit artikel neem ik je mee langs alle in -en outs over grachtenpanden, zodat jij je vrienden wat te vertellen hebt de eerstvolgende keer in Amsterdam. De meeste grachtenpanden zijn gebouwd in of na de 17de eeuw. De welvaart liep toen enorm goed in de stad en er kwam behoefte aan de zogenoemde pakhuizen. Deze grachtenpanden werden daarvoor ingezet. Op de begane grond bevond zich een opslag of werkplaats met op de eerste verdieping een woonruimte voor de eigenaar en zijn gezin. Grachtenpanden diende dus erg praktisch, maar door de smalle bouw was het moeilijk om meubels of andere spullen naar boven te plaatsen. Dit gebeurde buitenlangs door middel van een geplaatste hijsbalk bovenop het pand. Hedendaags wordt dit middel nog steeds gebruikt. Nog een bijzonder kenmerk van grachtenhuizen zijn de gevel en de ingang. De deur boven het trapje was voor hoog bezoek en de deur onder de trap diende voor het personeel en kooplui. Achter elk herenhuis zit dus een echt kooplieden verhaal. Als je goed oplet, kun je soms nog oude elementen of herinneringen terugvinden in of rondom een pand. Wonen in een grachtenpand Wanneer je behoefte hebt aan een rustige omgeving, is wonen in een grachtenpand niet ideaal. De panden zijn gebouwd in hartje Amsterdam en veel toeristen zullen langslopen, fietsen, rijden enzovoorts. Ook de parkeergelegenheid voor een grachtenpand is niet ideaal en fileparkeren moet je op het hart geschreven zijn. Toch kun je evengoed fijn wonen in een pand aan de grachten. Als grachtenpand inwoner sta je wel midden in het bruisende leven van Amsterdam. Alles is op loopafstand en aan gezelligheid geen gebrek. Ook aan privacy is er absoluut geen gebrek. Wat er ontbreekt aan de voorzijde wordt ruimschoots gecompenseerd aan de achterkant met een mega lange tuin! Vele verwachten niet dat er nog zo’n tuin aan een grachtenpand kan zitten. Kan ik een grachtenpand bouwen? Ja, ik ben helemaal verkocht door de bouwstijl, maar ik wil echt niet in Amsterdam wonen en daarbij zijn de prijzen veel te duur. Dit is een logische redenering, want grachtenpanden zijn er in Amsterdam niet te vinden onder de prijs van een half miljoen. Daarnaast zijn ze ook nog eens moeilijk bij te houden in onderhoud. Denk hierbij aan de floorcare van oude tegels en simpelweg het zemen van de ramen op de bovenste verdieping. Buiten dat je voor het pand betaald, betaal je natuurlijk ook voor de locatie. Er zijn veel mensen die het wonen in Amsterdam-Centrum niet zien zitten. In dit geval zou je kunnen denken aan het zelf bouwen van een grachtenpand in bijvoorbeeld Midden-Nederland. Is deze optie mogelijk? Ja, maar een nieuw grachtenpand bouwen zal niet snel voorkomen. Het krijgen van een vergunning hiervoor is erg moeilijk, omdat de bouwstijl niet meer binnen onze moderne tijd past. Ook zijn er weinig vakmensen te vinden die deze stijl nog authentiek kunnen bouwen. Bij nieuwbouw zal het pand veel breder en minder hoog worden. Een slap aftreksel dus of simpelweg niet wat je voor ogen had. Misschien moeten we nieuwe grachtenpanden ook gewoon niet meer bouwen. Het is geschiedenis en past niet binnen de modernisering. Voor het bewonderen van een grachtenpand moet je gewoon lekker naar Amsterdam gaan.

Does your loved-one need home nursing service? If so, how do you know what level of home care service is needed? Here are some things to know about home nursing services and the freedom to choose the home care provider. A home nursing service is where a skilled nursing professional treats the patient at home with the physician’s prescribed treatment plan. The treatment plan may be short-term or long-term. Home nursing services are services performed at the patient’s home. It is not the same as a nursing home—a facility housing many patient’s. However, skilled nursing care staff can work in the home setting, a facility, or an institution. Typically, a patient may be assessed and diagnosed at a hospital or other medical care facility for a condition that requires continued medical treatment. The treatment doesn’t require hospitalization but does require skilled nursing care. Before the patient is released, the physician will order home health care. The medical facility’s discharge planner or social worker may contact a qualified home health care provider to outsource the medical professional who provides the treatment, monitors the patient, and reports to the physician. It’s a great option for when the patients are granted medical provisions which extend to the comforts of their own home or homelike facility. The treatment plan is facilitated through the home health care agency and carried out by the medically trained professional such as a registered nurse (RN). Depending on the severity of the patient’s needs, duties may be performed by a highly skilled nurse or a home health care aide. If it is a home health care aide, then the aide might be supervised by a nurse or wellness professional. Skilled nursing care is defined as “a level of care that includes services that can only be performed safely and correctly by a licensed nurse (either an RN or LPN). This level of care is usually for those patients who are not yet on a stable and predictable course and therefore unable to receive care in their home or homelike environment. Here are some examples of conditions that may require skilled nursing care: · Cancer treatments · Heart conditions- acute · Stroke recovery · Parkinson’s- severe progression · Alzheimer’s or dementia-level 6 · Respiratory disease such as COPD- unstable · Diabetes stabilization Home nurse care is referred by the doctor. So, the answer is no. The hospital discharge planner or hospital medical social worker may refer your loved one’s health care plan to a home health care agency. If you’re satisfied with the hospital or social worker’s referral, that’s great! But if you’re not satisfied, you have the right to choose a care provider that’s a good fit for your loved one. Nurses and trained health care aides often work for a home health care agency. The agency assigns the appropriate staff to the case. Not all cases require an RN visit. Many treatment plans are administered by trained health care aides under the supervision of an RN. Home health care aides typically assist with daily personal activities such as grooming, bathing, dressing, light meal preparations and more in a home or home-like setting. They help the person to live as independently as possible with their health conditions. More specialized trained health care aides are able to assist with some medical tasks including: 1. Handle emergencies: Reporting heart attack symptoms, stroke symptoms, accidents 2. Monitor vital signs: blood pressure, respiration, pulse 3. Monitor physical and mental condition: eating, drinking, toileting, stress, anxiety 4. Assist with ADLs: bathing, dressing, grooming 5. Change bandages or dressings 6. Help with ventilators Just like nursing, home health aides come with various levels of training and experience. Those with more specialized training can help with more complex cases and are supervised by a nurse, typically an RN. Many home health aides work for home health care agencies and in-home caregiving agencies. Yes. In-home care agencies employ trained caregivers that do many of the same tasks as home health care aides. Because the home health care aide doesn’t require a nursing license, you may hire a caregiver aide. Employing a trained caregiver from an In-home caregiving agency is a great option since most of them are extremely experienced. This is something to consider since health care aides are well worth the out-of-pocket expense for families. If your loved one requires a nurse on an intermittent basis, the additional cost for the caregiver aide may be paid by a government sponsored insurance program such as Medicare. If your loved-one has Medicare, check or ask the Medicare specialist about coverage of health care aides. Following the home health care plan may make you feel like you have little control over what is happening to your loved-one. But, before you feel pushed aside, you have a lot of control when it comes to your loved one’s care. The physician orders the treatment, however you can decide who is a better fit to administer that treatment. There’s no getting around a prescribed treatment that requires a skilled nurse. Thank goodness not all situations require skilled nursing. Because some skilled nurses and health care aids may not be the best personality fit for your loved-one; most patients prefer someone with a cheerful disposition and a caring attitude around them. You have the power to choose who treats your loved one. The same goes for health care aides. Choose the best fit for your loved one. You don’t have to stay with whomever they send to your senior’s home. If your loved one has a government sponsored insurance policy such as Medicare or Medicaid, portions of the home nursing services may be covered. Other funding sources such as private insurance, personal savings, investments, or state sponsored programs may cover additional costs. ·://amyseden.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/word-image-21825-4-1-1024×576.jpeg” alt=”wheelchair, crutches, walker for people with mobility issues or therapy, in home nursing care” width=”640″ height=”360″ /> If for some reason your loved-one has to be moved into an assisted living community, Medicare may still continue to cover Home Health services, however it will not cover the cost for residing in the assisted living facility. The Medicare and Medicaid programs can be very complex. For the most up-to-date information on these programs, follow the link above to contact them directly and speak with their representative. You will want to know how much the program will cover for your loved one’s care. Skilled home nursing and in-home caregiver services are different types of care services but a trained health care aide is found in both. Skilled home nursing requires a physician’s order whereas in-home care from health care aide services do not. There are skill sets that overlap between the two. Therefore, depending on your senior’s level of care, a trained health care aide may be what your loved one needs. Contact some home care providers in your area to help you assess your loved one’s level of in-home care needs. At Amy’s Eden, we provide all of our caregivers the support and resources they need to give your loved one the benefits of compassionate, quality care. Call our office for assistance. We offer personal care services for your senior, whether they have mobility issues or memory issues, like dementia or Alzheimer’s. Our team can help your family find the right fit for your schedule. We’ll work with you on the days, hours, and time your senior needs care. If they need care, we’ll be there!

perhaps we are talking about different 'specializations'. i wouldnt consider the differences in peoples interests, mannerisms, and personality 'specialization'. it seems a bit like saying a small rock is 'specialized' at being small... or like saying that i specialize in having brown hair, or having an interest in philosophy, or in playing pokemon. its not a wildly incomprehensible use of language, but -to me at least- it doesnt seem quite right; its not necessarily the most intuitive use of the words. i would describe specialization as deliberate practice and learning of a given behaviour for some sort of material or economic benefit. this broad use would of course include the development of direct skills for ones own survival and pleasure, like running, navigation, hunting, trapping, socializing etc. however, that broad use isnt really how i was meaning either. when i have used it in this conversation i was picturing specialization more along the lines of smithian 'economic' division of labour. people in social situations dont 'play' roles, at least not the sort of people i would like to spend time with. i prefer genuine people, as opposed to those addicted-to/stuck-in societal norms, social roles, and acting a character -acting being of course euphemism for lying-. some people might be funny, some people might be 'brainy', whatever, but i tend to try not to think of people as an instanciation of a general type. people are people, they cant be reduced like that without you cutting something away from them. i like to think of everything and everyone as unique; identical only to themselves, and understandable only through direct experience. the egoist anarchist you describe participating in that hypothetical soccer match kinda sounds like a wanker, i doubt many people want to be around him, or play games with him. i wouldnt. its certainly odd behaviour. most people i know /like/ being around other people, and most people enjoy playing games. if i where in the position of that person, i might think it was in my best interest to try and participate in a friendly manner, so as to not rule out the possibility of meeting new people to relate and connect to, and to give myself the opportunity to play new games and have fun. now the egoist anarchist /might/ deliberately fuck up the game and start a fight -thought not many people are big enough to take on two football teams worth of people in a fight, even if they are playing five a side-, then throw the ball in, shout there are no rules, laugh to himself about how clever he is, then get weird side eyes from a bunch of people for a long time. not sure why he would want to though. must be a very unusual fella the point i am trying to make is you dont have to use 'objective morals', some sort of transcendental totalitarian rule book, to go 'this guy is a fucking loser, lets not hang around with him' or 'this guy is obviously a physical threat, lets a) run away b) fight back'. same goes for kings and queens and nobles. for me, morality just doesnt come into it; i dont understand moral reasoning, no matter how many times people try to explain it to me. these people /might/ be acting from their own desires and engaging with the world as they find it as both as critically and playfully as they can. seems unlikely to me though; these sorts of 'powerful' people tend to reify notions such as power, glory, honour, wealth etc like they are actual existing objects they can physically have. they seem to go to much length, and put themselves at great risk and under immense stress and strain, just to get these things. what actual benefit does a king starting a risky war with a neighbouring kingdom? he risks losing what he has if the war takes a turn, and if he wins? they can draw new maps? woohoo? your example of a game is a good one. the rules of soccer are made up, arbitrary, but people choose to use them to have fun. society, civilization -whatever you want to call it- is exactly the same; its just a game. except, with this game, people have taken it way too far, forgotten its a game, got super serious, and actually made the whole thing kinda scary. like dungeons and dragons, or magic the gathering. or pokemon. as an egoist looking at these 'powerful people', they seem less like free individuals acting from their desires and engaging playfully with their world, and more like people /possessed/ by some notion they are powerless to criticise or question. to give a biological example, as you seem to prefer, it seems kind of like those insects whose behaviour is altered by a fungus, and so use the last of their energy to climb up a leaf so that when they die the spores of the fungus will travel further. except, in the case of the rich and powerful, the fungus exists only as ideas, as an arrangement of neurons perhaps, all in the mind. this is my interpretation of max stirner's -saint max's- idea of the 'spook', and my response to your general attitude towards economical society in, and specifically you understandable if mistaken notion of egoist anarchism as 'fuck the world ahaha there are no repercussions for my actions'. egoist anarchists, at least those i think are worthy of the name, do not think that there are no consequences, just that there is no universal rulebook. i like friends just as much as the next guy. anyway, thanks for keeping the discussion so civil and interesting! its like im not even on the internet anymore; this forum actually has the best atmosphere edit: removed a dumb emphasis and 'fixed' some spelling

Andretti Formula E Confirms Chloe Chambers and Nerea Martí for All-Women Test Driver Lineup in Valencia INDIANAPOLIS (October 7, 2024) – Andretti Formula E announced today that Chloe Chambers and Nerea Martí will represent the team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s Women Test at the Season 11 pre-season test in Valencia, Spain. Piloting the pair of Andretti Porsche 99X Electrics, Chambers and Martí will join the rest of the all-woman field as part of Formula E’s most recent initiative in their long-term strategy of removing barriers and expanding opportunities for women within the all-electric championship. Making her Formula E debut in the Series’ first-ever all-women test, Indiana native Chambers brings an extensive racing resume to the Indianapolis-based Andretti Formula E driver lineup that includes a win and three podiums with two rounds remaining in her first season competing in the F1 Academy. Chambers got her start in karting at the age of eight, rising through the karting ranks over the next 10 years before moving into the Formula 4 United States Championship in 2021. The 2022 season saw Chambers compete in the W Series Championship before going onto dominate the 2023 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America, winning eight of 12 races, and making history as the first woman to win a race and claim pole position in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship. In addition to her racing success, Chambers also holds the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Vehicle Slalom, a feat she achieved in 2020 behind the wheel of a 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder. Rounding out Andretti Formula E’s testing lineup, Martí will take her first Formula E laps on her hometown track in Valencia. The Spanish racing driver moved up through the competitive karting ranks on her family’s track before moving into the Spanish F4 Championship in 2019, where she secured a podium in her first start. The 2021 season saw Martí claim the title of highest-ranking rookie in the W Series Championship, finishing fourth overall and gaining an FIA Formula 3 test day as her prize. Currently competing in her second F1 Academy season, the 22-year-old has scored one win and nine podiums and currently sits fifth in the 2024 Drivers’ Championship standings. In what has been a proud history of cultivating and encouraging women across multiple racing disciplines, the Andretti organization boasts an impressive lineup of race winners including Danica Patrick, Jamie Chadwick, Catie Munnings, Ana Beatriz, Beitske Visser, Ashton Harrison and Simona de Silvestro. Andretti Formula E and de Silvestro found success in Season 2 of the all-electric racing series as the Swiss-Italian driver became the first and only woman to score points in a Formula E race. Additionally, Visser represented the American outfit as a test and reserve driver during Season 5, participating in the 2018 Ad Diriyah Test. Chambers and Martí will make their Formula E debut on Thursday, November 7, from 14:00 to 17:00 during the final session of the official pre-season event at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain. ROGER GRIFFITHS, TEAM PRINCIPAL, ANDRETTI FORMULA E: “We are super excited to announce both Chloe and Nerea as the Andretti drivers for the all-women test in Valencia. As an organization, we have been leaders in promoting women in motorsport, fielding multiple drivers over the years across our varied programs, and being the only Formula E team to run a woman driver for a full season with Simona de Silvestro in Season 2. Both Chloe and Nerea have shown their pedigree in F1 Academy with regular visits to the podium, and we are eager to see how they get on in the Andretti Porsche 99X Electric Formula E car. I’m sure they will be following closely on the progress that Jake and Nico make throughout the week to learn as much as they can before they take to the track.” CHLOE CHAMBERS, TEST DRIVER, ANDRETTI FORMULA E: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Andretti Formula E team in Valencia. It will be different for me, being my first experience in electric racing, but I’m excited to take on this new challenge and expand my horizons. The Andretti Formula E team has had great success in Formula E, and I’m glad to be learning from some of the best! As an American, it’s especially exciting to be working with such an iconic name in racing. Thank you to F1 Academy, A14 Management and Monoflo International for enabling this opportunity. I’ll be putting 100% into learning all I can during the test.” NEREA MARTÍ, TEST DRIVER, ANDRETTI FORMULA E: “Getting behind the wheel of a Formula E car is an incredible opportunity. Formula E represents the future of racing, and I’m going to soak up every moment and learn as much as I can from the experience. The Series is all about innovation and pushing boundaries, and as a female driver, it’s what I’ve been striving for throughout my career, so I’m thrilled to be part of it. It’s very special that the test is taking place in Valencia, my hometown. Circuit Ricardo Tormo is where I got my first taste of racing, so I have some very special memories there. I’m focused on making the most of every lap and showing the Andretti Formula E team what I can do. I feel humbled by Andretti’s rich history, passion and dedication across all the series they compete in, and I couldn’t have dreamed of wearing better colors. I’m ready to give it everything I’ve got.”
