It is appalling that frail vulnerable people can die from a lack of basic sustenance in the heart of care provision.
This is a major scandal that should never have occurred, and all levels must bear some responsibility, including care providers, regulators and the Government. The quality and safety of care of our older people has been an afterthought for too long.
What we need is a Cabinet-led strategy that makes this a major priority for change. We cannot go on like this.


text: Yes, I know HDMI does both the audio and video. My question is, when I use the HDMI, does the audio only emanate from the TV's speakers or can I some how work the home theater system into it? The reason I ask is because my home theater system kicks some major booty. The speakers on my LCD flat panel would most likely pale in comparison. If the HDMI outputs to the TV's speakers only, that would suck. Sorry for the noob question but this is my first foray into the world of HD.

In all kinds of societies-foraging bands, horticultural tribes, peasant villages, and industrial cities-women have always had primary responsibility for preparing food and giving it to others (D' Andrade 1974, 18). Particularly in preindustrial societies, women contribute heavily to producing, processing, and distributing food as well. The predominant role of women in feeding is a cultural universal, a major component of female identity, and an important source of female connections to and influence over others. Hence, although there are other components of female identity and other sources of their authority, the power of women has often derived from the power of food.Carole M. Counihan, Routledge, 1999.
I am concerned here with two kinds of power. The first, coercion, is attained through control of might and essential resources that can be denied to others. This is the power of provincial Italian prefects who can raise the price of bread and of the U.S. government that sent food to the Nicaraguan Contras but denied it to Chileans after Allende's election (Burbach and Flynn 1980, 70). The second form of power is influence. It accrues not through force and the ability to deny but through giving, through the obligations created by giving, and through the influence wielded in the act of giving. This is the power Mauss described in his masterpiece The Gift (1967). It is the power of the tribal big man who distributes enormous piles of yams at feasts and "leads because the people wish to be led;" it is also the power of women who feed, who satisfy hunger, who are viscerally needed, and who influence others through manipulation of the symbolic language of food.
True coercion is typical of class societies where resources are concentrated in the hands of the few, who are usually male. The power of the gift, on the other hand, predominates in egalitarian societies where women's relatively high status comes from their full participation in the giving that creates obligations and from their control of a particularly powerful channel, food (see Brown 1975). Interestingly, although control of food can be the strongest weapon of coercion, for women it is not. In no culture is it acceptable for women to deny food to their families, whereas it is acceptable for politicians - mostly male - to deny food to entire populations for political ends (Lappe and Collins 1978). Like women in stratified societies, individuals and groups in tribal societies do not permit groups to starve others as a path to power; rather they achieve power by shaming other groups with their magnanimity (Young 1971). Food is a special substance that follows exceptionally strong rules of sharing and generosity (Sahlins 1972,215-19). It would be unthinkable for Italian women to starve husbands and children to force them to do certain things. Rather, individuals in tribal societies and women in stratified societies have the culturally sanctioned ability to manipulate the giving of food and thus to attain influence through means other than coercion. Women in stratified, market-oriented, agro-industrial societies like Italy and the United States are often defined as subordinate to men because, although they control feeding, as a group they lack the coercive ability to withhold grain shipments or control corn futures. Gender equality involves, then, an effort by women to gain public political and economic power, and with it the ability not just to influence, but to coerce as well.

Power News We love to talk!
Tata Power is actively looking at opportunities to develop hydro projects as part of efforts to boost its renewable energy portfolio which is expected to make up about one-fourth of its overall generation capacity by 2020.
The country's largest private power producer is already developing hydro projects in India, Nepal and Bhutan.
"The company is also looking at other opportunities (in hydro power) to bid in the near future," Tata Power Managing Director Anil Sardana told PTI.
At present, Tata Power has a hydro power generation capacity of 447 MW in Maharashtra.
Tata Power and Norway-based SN Power's joint venture is developing an 880 MW hydro project in Tamakoshy, Nepal. The entity has also bagged the 240 MW Dugar hydro electric project in Himachal Pradesh.
Further, Tata Power is implementing the 114 MW Dagachhu hydro project in Bhutan.
"Tata Power has aggressive plans of generating 26,000 MW by 2020 and intends to have a 20-25 per cent contribution from 'clean power sources' which will include a mix of hydro, solar, wind, geothermal and waste gas generation," Sardana said.
Currently, the company has an installed generation capacity of 7,700 MW.
In the renewable energy segment, besides hydro, Tata Power is working on various solar, wind, geothermal and waste gases-based power projects.
It has an operational capacity of 375 MW in wind energy and 28 MW in solar power.
Recently, Tata Power along with its consortium partners -- Australia's Origin Energy and PT Supraco Indonesia -- won the bid for 240 MW geothermal project in Indonesia which is under development.
Tata Power also set up various plants at Haldia and Jamshedpur, based on the blast furnace and coke oven gases -- which are waste gases from steel making process.
"The company is also in the process of evaluating different business models for distributed power generation and supply to the rural areas," Sardana said.

Common Errors of XBRL Implementation
And how your firm can avoid them.
by Jon Bartley, CPA, PhD, et al.
Following three years of voluntary XBRL submissions, the SEC’s mandatory requirements for XBRL financial report submissions began phasing in June 15, 2009. As with any new process, companies can easily underestimate the challenges posed by this complex reporting technology and make mistakes along the way.
This article describes common errors appearing in Voluntary Filing Program (VFP) Forms 10-K that continue to occur under the SEC’s mandatory Form 10-Q submissions and discusses how they can be prevented. CPAs can use this information to develop expectations about the challenges of XBRL document preparation and of performing agreed-upon procedures engagements. It is especially important for companies to be aware of these potential errors, because the errors occur not only in filings prepared in-house, but also in filings prepared by third-party financial printers. Regardless of who prepares the filings, the company is ultimately responsible for the documents’ accuracy.
Despite the prevalence of these errors, significant improvements have been made in XBRL creation tools, the U.S. GAAP Taxonomy and in software validation tools.
In the future, we expect many companies to integrate XBRL and their automated accounting information systems (AIS) enabling the AIS to directly produce the XBRL instance documents and eliminating many types of errors. However, almost all companies currently prepare XBRL documents using a bolt-on process that follows the traditional preparation of financial statements in ASCII or HTML format. This manual data transformation process is a significant source of the errors we observed in XBRL documents.
To gain better insight into the challenges new filers faced, we examined the filings of the first 22 U.S. companies that submitted relatively complete XBRL-formatted 10-K financial statements in 2006 as part of the SEC’s VFP. As part of a major research initiative undertaken at North Carolina State University examining issues related to XBRL financial statement documents, we examined the XBRL documents and compared each to the original Form 10-K. We noted differences in amounts, signs, presentation, labeling, classification, etc. To examine how accuracy improved with experience and with the intervening improvements in XBRL software and the XBRL U.S. GAAP Taxonomy, we repeated our examination in 2008 for the 11 companies that filed XBRL 10-K documents continually from 2006 to 2008. We base our discussion on these results and the preliminary observations of the SEC staff regarding errors identified in the submissions of XBRL 10-Q reports of the first registrants (approximately 500) required to file XBRL documents for the second and third quarters of 2009.
The XBRL 2006 and 2008 voluntary 10-K submissions of almost all companies examined contained significant errors that would not be acceptable under the SEC’s rules for mandatory submissions. These errors occurred in various steps of the process including mapping, extension, tagging and creating and validating. The SEC staff observations from a review of initial XBRL 10-Q submissions indicate that accuracy has improved significantly, but many companies are still making the same errors we observed in the voluntary submissions. Fortunately, companies that make a good-faith effort to comply with XBRL requirements and correct errors within 24 hours of discovery are protected from legal liability by the SEC’s safe harbor provision during the first two years of submissions.
We identified these errors by comparing financial statements rendered by the SEC’s Interactive Financial Report Viewer software to the official Form 10-K and then tracing apparent errors to the underlying XBRL document containing the computer code. We defined errors as violations of basic XBRL principles in effect at the date of the document submission. At present, the SEC’s final rule (PDF) and the EDGAR Filer Manual govern the content of XBRL data files, while the XBRL US GAAP Taxonomy Preparers Guide provides detailed instructions for the construction of instance documents containing the computer-readable code that represents a company’s specific taxonomy of elements, business facts and financial relationships.

She supports building a wall and deporting unskilled immigrants, even legal ones, from the US. She became a citizen in 2014 and voted in the 2016 election for Donald Trump after many visits to Mexico while living in San Diego.
She worked on the Remain campaign even though she strongly supports Brexit. She frequently works for far-left causes since right wing organizations tend not to spend money on artists. She thinks the American left is delusional.
She gets Russian bride spam in her name. Her favorite singer is Freddy Mercury. Her favorite musical is The Book of Mormon. She refuses to ever see Hamilton. Her favorite writer is Nabokov.
She likes cats. She can't decide if Carrot Top or Amy Schumer is her least favorite comedian. She edits Wikipedia. She only trolls on social media.
None of these answers are answers to her security questions.

There are external factors causing these feelings. You will be completely unable to remain the same as this book weaves you through the world as we have known it, into a world where anything is possible! No stone is left unturned through this thoroughly researched exploration of mostly unexamined factors inherent to Western society that set us up to feel more uncomfortable at this time in the West, particularly in the U.S., as we undergo a macroshift globally. Written at the tail end of her ten years living and working in Asia to understand why it seems now that we’re less equipped to create vibrantly healthy, happy lives in the West, Alison J. Kay, Phd, documents an eye-opening, sometimes humorous, sometimes raw contrast of modern, globalized, Western culture with Asian. Feel the freedom as she gently guides you to more ease!
Description : Much of the current literature describes fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and other related syndromes in terms of anecdotes and sales pitches without benefit of medical fact. Dr. Duclos is a practicing internal medicine physician who treats patients with these conditions every day and has found striking similarities among these conditions. He uses the latest scientific research to support his theory that the problem common to these disorders lies in the central nervous system. He describes the underlying disease process in clear terms for non-medical professionals and offers hope for treatment. "For years," Dr. Duclos says, "patients have been told that their symptoms are all psychological. Now we know better."
Description : Brilliant, acerbic, funny, and relentless, Darien Gilbertson appears to have it all: a successful career, a husband who loves her absolutely, and all the material comforts of a New York life. But Darien is in trouble – on the run from her emotions, and from a past that resurrects itself in acts of self-mutilation she neither understands nor cares to explore. After years of good behavior, Darien is hurting herself again. And this time it's so brutal that her husband, Robert, cannot help but recognize the woman he adores is unraveling before his eyes. Darien has a history with therapists. She knows exactly what they want – and need – to hear. She has made a game of psychotherapy, spinning outrageous fictions, exposing her doctors' vanities, knowing when to reveal just a little of the truth. When Robert brings her to Dr. Lindholm, she is ready. But in Dr. Lindholm Darien may have met her match: a caring psychiatrist with the patience and skill to see beneath her façade. At once intrigued and resistant, Darien engages Dr. Lindholm in a battle of wits, sure only her pride is at stake. When she stumbles instead upon a buried truth about herself the consequences are devastating, threatening her marriage, her identity, and what she understands about life and love. Kristin Waterfield Duisberg's The Good Patient is about interiors and exteriors, knowledge and perception, the treachery and triumph of memory. Written in razor-sharp, sparkling prose, it is a story that takes dead aim at a question we all fear: how well do we really know the people we love?
Description : Hugh Rice explains why belief in God need not be seen as a strange or irrational belief, but can be a natural extension of our ordinary ways of thinking. He suggests that we should think of God in an abstract way, and he offers a satisfying account of the relationship between God and goodness.

A 20-year-old Belleville man has been charged with weapon violations after Belleville officers investigated a report of several gunshots being fired in the 700 block of South First Street last week, Belleville police said Friday.
Toreano S. Harris was charged on Thursday with two felony counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and one felony count of aggravated discharge of a firearm, according to a news release. His bail was set at $200,000.
No one was injured in the shooting reported at 10:58 p.m. on May 26.
“Officers on scene were informed that a small passenger vehicle was seen leaving the area after hearing several gunshots being fired. Another witness was able to provide a description of a male who was seen in the area just before the gunshots,” the news release states.
“Through the course of the investigation, it appeared this was not random act of violence in that the suspect and victim knew each other.”
Harris was being held in the St. Clair County Jail on Friday.

If I Stay Reviews
Moretz manages to convey some of the delicate and bittersweet shades of love and romance with a maturity that prevents the movie from becoming a sob-fest. Therefore, the story moves at a brisk pace.
If you are a fan of romantic dramas, you might enjoy If I Stay. Watch the film if you want to watch a cliched romance that lacks much plot development. Everyone else might want to skip this one.

Last year, 67.7 million hectares of genetically modified crops were grown all over the world. Although most of the crop was of the four main commercial kinds-soyabean, maize, cotton and canola-it seems transgenic rice is going to be a major produce of the very near future. And it won't be long before the transgenic rice seeds arrive in Nepal.
There are already over 160 patents granted or pending for various strains of GM rice. They contain genetic information from the DNA of other species to give the rice traits ranging from bigger grain to insect resistance. The latest big thing centres on 'golden rice'-containing a daffodil gene that produces beta-carotene, a compound the human body converts to vitamin A.
It's not commercially available yet, but many see golden rice as the answer to the over one million child deaths each year and the 300,000 cases of blindness caused by severe vitamin A deficiency. Biotech giant Monsanto has even announced it will give away free licenses to use its patented technology for golden rice and other genetically engineered rice varieties in order to help with these problems.
However, all that glitters is not gold. In addition to the usual arguments against GM crops, critics of golden rice protest that even with the added nutrients, it would be nearly impossible to get the required vitamin A from a normal serving of rice. Some are sceptical of the longterm effects of the crop-a valid concern considering some of the other GM 'miracles' gone wrong in the past. Others doubt that it can really be adapted to local growing conditions any time soon. A few even see golden rice as a Trojan Horse that is to be sent into the developing world to get people used to the idea of GM foods before less benign crops are introduced.
Since over half of the world's population's staple diet is rice, the argument that golden rice and other fortified strains may be the solution to current malnutrition problems is compelling.

The following letter has been received from DEFRA (The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
I am writing to thank the council for their time and assistance this autumn in connection with the confirmed sighting of the invasive non-native species Asian hornet in the Highcliffe area of Christchurch.
The task faced by National Bee Unit inspectors in locating and eradicating nests is challenging, and it is very useful to have co-operation and understanding from local bodies such as yours.
Investigations detected two nests in the area, which were promptly destroyed. Following a further period of surveillance our inspectors were confident that no more Asian hornets were present in the area. This is important because, as you may be aware, Asian hornet represents a serious threat to our honey bees and other native pollinators.
We can only tackle this pest properly with the support of beekeepers and the general public, and I would be most grateful for your continued vigilance and reporting of any future sightings. The best way to report possible sightings is to use the free Asian Hornet Watch app, or to e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org

McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) reported third-quarter 2020 financial results before the market hours on Monday. The fast-food chain reported a 2% decline in Q3 revenue to $5.42 billion, surpassing the Wall Street consensus. The company reported a net income of $2.35 per share, well above the estimates set by analysts.
MCD shares rose 5.4% immediately following the announcement. The stock has rallied 8% since the beginning of this year.
In a statement, the company said the Q3 results reflected the strength seen in operating performance across the US due to higher sales-driven restaurant margins. Same store sales rose 4.6% year-over-year in Q3 in the US, but this was more than offset by international markets.

Tucked into the larger University area of Uptown New Orleans, Marlyville and Fontainebleau are majority homeowner neighborhoods. Some of the large homes have been converted into condos, but the most popular architecture includes raised cottages with an Arts & Crafts influence and raised basement homes.
Typical homes have 3 bedrooms, 1 or 2 baths, and around 2,000 square feet of living area. That doesn’t mean that you won’t find small condos or large, luxury properties, though. Versailles Boulevard has an amazing collection of large homes that sit on larger than average lots for the area. Most houses have off-street parking in driveways, but garages are rarely found here.
On the Carrollton edge of the neighborhood, the St. Charles streetcar line provides easy access to public transportation.
What’s in Marlyville and Fontainebleau?
- Private security patrol
- Notre Dame Seminary
- Dominican High School
- Felipe’s Mexican Taqueria
- Ted’s Frostop Diner (one of our favorite local burger joints – try the milkshakes!)
- Mid City Pizza
- Riccobono’s Panola St Cafe (breakfast and coffee cafe)
- Sav-A-Lot Grocery Store
- Plum Street Snoballs
On the upper edge of the neighborhood, you’ll also find Marsalis Harmony Park, a 5.6 acre park with plenty of trees, grassy space, and a playground.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and full bar in Provincetown's West End. We have free, off street parking.
My boyfriend and I came to Lizâs Cafe for breakfast while staying in Truro. I ordered the french toast and had the fruit added on to my order. I also got a cup of the local Beanstock coffee, which is my new favorite. My boyfriend had a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. He added on the fruit as well to his order. My french toast was phenomenal and I loved every bite of it. My only gripe is that on the menu, the charge for extra fruit is $2 when you add it to the french toast. We got charged more than that, but just ended up paying the difference. Also, $12 for my boyfriendâs sandwich was a bit much given the size of the sandwich. Not one to complain, my boyfriend told me afterwards that the fruit he got was on the verge of spoiling!! In the end, we paid almost $40 for breakfast (including tip). I loved the atmosphere and the attentive service at Lizâs Cafe, but I donât think weâll be back. If youâre staying in Truro like we did, check out Savory and Sweet Cafe for breakfast where the prices are a little gentler on your wallet. We're glad you enjoyed your meal! We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with the prices. If there was a discrepancy with the bill, did you bring it to the attention of your server? Of course they would have corrected it! You'll find noticeable variation in prices in restaurants that have counter service versus those like ours that have table service. Thanks to your feedback, we found a computer discrepancy with the price you mentioned, and we have corrected it. We appreciate your bringing it to our attention! As for the fruit, again, did you bring it to your server's attention? As a very busy restaurant that often has a line at the door (see other reviews), we go through fruit super quickly, but as you can imagine, sometimes a piece of fruit may sneak into the mix. We apologize if this happened, and we certainly would have gladly replaced it along with discussing the pricing. Please don't hesitate to discuss anything of concern with your server. We welcome feedback and want all our customers to love their meals! Please do give us another try.

Mid-morning arrival to a busy breakfast spot, we were seated promptly. We had eggs/potatoes and the ham eggs Benedict - both prepared perfectly and served piping hot. We will go back each of the next 2 days - completely enjoyed the experience. Thanks, Marc-Andre!

Casual, beachy ambiance but serious gourmet brunches. Tacos at night in season. Outdoor patio. People rave about the carnitas, Chicken and Waffles, benedicts and the homemade guacamole.
This little place is welcoming and friendly, and made for great first impression to our Provincetown vacation. Breakfast was very tasty and freshly made. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. My one criticism is that there are no sugar free options for syrup or jam. But if you're on vacation, go with the great maple syrup provided. What calories, right? It was clear that they took great pride in their restaurant and what we thought of it. That says a lot because it means they always strive to be better.We would love to go back on our next visit.

Nestled in the quiet, residential neighborhood of Provincetown's west end, Relish is a convenient stop on the way to the beach. Relish is a bakery and sandwich shop. A selection of breakfast sandwiches, coffee cakes, muffins and scones for the early birds
This little neighborhood deli offers great sandwiches, fresh baked goods, prepared salads and so forth, but all of it comes with a generous serving of attitude, and a hefty price tag, which drops my rating considerably. Despite really good, upscale food, I'd rather eat elsewhere nearby, spending less cash two or three blocks closer to the center of town in a great little deli where the food is great and each customer is valued, and treated like family.

We stopped in for dinner with two small kids in tow. I ordered the beet salad, my wife the fish. Very impressed with the food, which was fantastic, and the friendly, unpretentious and attentive service. There were obviously a lot of locals in the bar, and the place had a nice, non-touristy vibe. Very glad we stopped in (total chance--we were looking for a restroom for the little girl, who ended up have a great pizza).

Video:Butternut Squash Creme Bruleewith Chef John Mitzewich
We've given the classic creme brulee a healthy makeover with nutritious and delicious butternut squash. Perfect for the holidays, this treat is a nice change of pace from pumpkin pie.See Transcript
Transcript:Butternut Squash Creme BruleeHi, I'm Chef John Mitzewich for About.com Food. Today we're doing a healthy winter twist on a classic dessert, butternut squash crème brulee.
Make the Butternut Squash PureeTo start this amazing dessert, we need 1 cup of butternut squash puree.
I make my own by wrapping a half butternut squash in foil and roast it for one hour at 350 degrees, and I have all the butternut squash I need. You can buy canned if you want.
Combine the Eggs and Brown SugarWe're going to take three large egg yolks and add 1/2 cup brown sugar. Whisk it until the sugar melts into the egg yolks and the mixture turns into a lighter mocha color. It will take about two minutes.
Add the Heavy Cream and SpicesAt that stage, add 1 cup of heavy cream. Do not substitute skim milk, please. Give it a good stir, and then we are going to spice this to our own liking.
I'm using 1/2 teaspoon of allspice and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. It's up to you. You can add cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, etc. It would all work here. We also need a pinch of salt.
Add the Butternut Squash PureeI'm going to add the cup of butternut squash puree. Pumpkin would work, as would any other squash. Stir until combined. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Fill the Ramekins With Hot WaterThis makes enough to fill six, five-ounce ramekins. We're going to bake these in a water bath, so add hot water to your baking dish. It should come up at least halfway up the side.
Bake the Butternut Squash Crème BruleeI'm going to bake those for about 30-35 minutes, or until set. By set, I mean they are firm, but still have a little wiggle in them. Chill thoroughly!
At least 2 hours or overnight before you "brulee" them, which just means to burn the sugar on top (1 rounded teaspoon per ramekin).
This is the most fun part because I get to use this, my crème brulee torch. Some say you can do this under the broiler, but I never have much luck. But these are so cheap, so get one of these torches.
Burn the Sugar on Top of the Crème BruleeWhen you first start, it will look like glass beads forming on the top. Go slow and move it all around. You don't want anyone spot to get too dark before all the sugar is melted.
Once you see all the sugar crystals have melted, then you can really start "brulee-ing," or burning various spots here and there. You want it kind of irregular; that's part of the look.
Serve the Butternut Squash Crème BruleeI put it on a folded napkin. I call that the square fold. And, then the best sound in the history of brulee desserts, that spoon tapping on that crunchy, hard crust. I mean look at that picture!
How are you going to look at that and not make this? I have no idea. Anyway, very simple, very delicious. Sorry pumpkin pie, I think you just were replaced. I hope you give it a try. Enjoy.

Serbia should secure the same conditions for its Roma community as enjoyed by the rest of the population, Zorana Mihajlovic, Serbia's Government Deputy Prime Minister, said on Thursday, the Beta news agency reported.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the pilot project in the cooperation with chosen cities and municipalities of the „Inclusion of Roma and Other Marginalised Groups in Serbia“ project, Mihajlovic, who also heads the Coordinating Body for the Implementation of the Strategy on Roma’s Social Inclusion, said the Government wanted the real inclusion of Roma, „not just words, ideas and wishes.“
„It’s important for us – and not because of the European Union, but because of Serbia’s progress – to secure Roma equal conditions for development, education, employment and life like the others in Serbia have,“ the Minister said.
The Mayor of Belgrade Zoran Radojicic said the City conducted the Government policy in securing Roma the inclusion and integration into the society, especially in social services, providing IDs, employment, housing and health service.
The German ambassador to Serbia Thomas Schieb said, the integration of the marginalised groups was a main pillar of the German-Serbia cooperation and that the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) would continue to support Serbia’s Government’s coordinating mechanisms in the field.
„An important condition for Roma’s social inclusion is a good functioning of the state institutions. We’ll continue to support the Government of Serbia. We are especially glad that 15 municipalities and 12 towns are engaged in the work in this area,“ Schieb, who attended the ceremony, said.

US Airways Presents Merger Deal to American
US Airways has made a formal merger proposal to AMR Corp., parent of American Airlines, and its creditors that values the combined airline at over $8 billion. The deal, if consummated, would be enough to create a rival to the world’s two largest airlines, United Continental and Delta Air Lines, which have market capitalizations of $6.7 and $8.5 billion, respectively.
The offer was presented by US Airways last month at a meeting with AMR’s unsecured creditors committee, or UCC. Under the terms of the agreement, American’s creditors would own 70% of the merged entity and US Airways shareholders would get 30%.
The two airlines have since entered into negotiations that could result in a merger agreement by the start of the year. American is continuing to prepare a plan to emerge from bankruptcy proceedings as an independent entity, and the UCC, which holds tremendous decision-making power while American is in bankruptcy would need to weigh the merits of both outcomes.
Last week, American reached one of its final milestones in its Chapter 11 proceedings after the pilot’s union approved a new labor contract. Pilots voted 74% to 26% to accept their first new contract in almost a decade. The contract gave American voluntary agreements with all nine of its unions. Combined with reductions in management and non-unioned positions, the company has been able to reduce labor costs by 17%, which translates into more than $1 billion in annual savings.“We are pleased our pilots supported and ratified this agreement, which is an important step forward in our restructuring,” said the airline in a prepared statement last week. “Today’s ratification gives us the certainty we need for American to successfully restructure, providing opportunity and growth for all of our people and stakeholders.”
With its labor costs better in hand, American is in a better position to both emerge as an independent airline and also to get a higher valuation in the event of a merger. Company executives including AMR CEO Tom Horton have told creditors that they deserve more than the 70% offered by US Airways and some creditors believe that they should get closer to 80%.
Even a merger announcement next year would not mean that the deal is a sure thing. United Airlines only announced a merger with Continental in 2010 after its planned merger with US Airways failed earlier that year.
Should the merger take place, the combined airline will retain the American Airlines name and will be headquartered in Dallas, Texas, according to multiple statements made by US Airways executives prior to the announcement.

Loneliness in the Workplace
A Growing Population Health and Employee Engagement Concern
There’s been an alarming increase in the rate of loneliness and isolation in our society, making it one of today’s most urgent public health concerns. Importantly, to the surprise of many, the health burden goes beyond the well-known behavioral triad of depression, substance abuse and suicide, to increased risk of physical illness. Recent well performed epidemiologic studies have indicated that loneliness is associated with an increase of premature mortality risk of 30% (on par with smoking), likely due to immunosuppression and increased cardiovascular risk.
So in short, loneliness not only makes you miserable, but can kill you. The epidemic of loneliness is especially ironic in this age of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, where despite growing networks of “friends”, individuals of all ages are struggling more than ever with developing an authentic connection with others and establishing a reliable sense of belonging.

Why is this a workplace issue?
Studies show that almost a third of the U.S. feels significantly lonely in their public lives, such as at their job. You might think that the hive mentality found in many workplaces would be an antidote for those experiencing episodes of loneliness. But often it actually masks the issue because individuals don’t want to appear weak or vulnerable in today’s work environments of cubicle farms and competitive jockeying for the spotlight. As a result, employees dealing with the isolating burdens of stress, major illness and chronic conditions, PTSD and other post-deployment challenges, transgender and sexual identity issues, caregiving and other family-related responsibilities, or just the day to day challenges of modern life, bring those concerns to the workplace, along with the toll they exact.
What’s more, the toll isn’t only on an individual’s mental and physical health but impairs teamwork and collaboration. As recently reported on in Fortune, a prominent study identified that workgroups suffer when even one member is exhibiting symptoms of loneliness. As the lonely member withdraws from work and is less productive, co-workers recognize and respond, often hindering team effectiveness. Steven Miranda, managing director at Cornell University’s Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies has noted that loneliness is causing a decrease in what he calls “discretionary effort.” It’s the difference between those that show up at the office in the morning eager to get started and those that can’t wait for 5 o’clock. “I would bet my bottom dollar that people who are lonely and disengaged at work deliver far less discretionary effort than people who have a support system or a go-to person [at work],” he says.
But human resource departments are in a prime position to offer programs for alleviating the burden of loneliness, including various team-building activities and promoting volunteerism for worthy causes. In particular, we believe programs that utilize creative arts expression in various ways are especially appealing. These programs, delivered either face to face or online, offer evidenced-based interventions that allow participants to use creative work to better “connect” with themselves and others through structured art making, sharing and mindful reflection. They are low cost, easy to promote and deploy, popular, suited to the diversity of the modern workplace and increasingly accepted as a reliable method for helping individuals form meaningful connections with others. Even when done anonymously through a digital exchange platform, a “sharing bond” is formed between those creating and those interpreting what’s created: a photo, a video clip, a shared expressive thought or feeling, a personal story.
How The UnLonely Project is helping
The Foundation for Art & Healing, in partnership and collaboration with other community health stakeholders including the Americans for the Arts and the Northeast Business Group on Health has created a signature initiative, The UnLonely Project, to provide a platform for connecting with this vulnerable workplace population. Our mission is to show how simple creative expression programs, based on scientifically proven approaches, can have profound and sustained health and well-being benefits. The Project incorporates low-cost, easy-to-deploy programs and tools that are fun, engaging and convenient. Our approach is designed to introduce awareness of the burden of loneliness, deliver creative-based approaches to engage affected employees, and then measure and report on outcomes from Project activities.
Get started now at your workplace with this download!
As we launch this signature initiative, we’re working with partners to increase awareness of workplace loneliness and isolation challenges and its burden to employers and employees, as well as making available innovative programs and intervention strategies to address it. We’re already in encouraging discussions with several major employers and service delivery partners who want to be actively involved in the design, deployment, evaluation, and optimization of this breakthrough approach.
We’re building on work the Foundation for Art & Healing has done in other conditions and environments, we are confident our “starter kit” of awareness aids and program tools will be well received and show rapid and important results. We invite you to join with us as we expand our focus to address the public health crisis of loneliness within the workplace, and look forward to sharing more information with you as the UnLonely Project moves forward.

Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming platforms in the world, with millions of users listening to their favorite songs every day.
However, one of the most common issue among Spotify users is that the app’s shuffle feature sometimes repeats songs.
This can be frustrating for users who want to discover new music and mix up their listening experience.
In this article, we will explore the reasons why Spotify repeats songs on shuffle and provide some tips and tricks for fixing the issue.
Reasons For Spotify Repeating Songs On Shuffle
There are a few different reasons why Spotify might repeat songs on shuffle.
One of the most common reasons is that the Spotify app is simply not shuffling the songs properly.
This can happen when the app’s algorithm is not working correctly, or when there are not enough songs in the playlist to shuffle.
Another reason why Spotify might repeat songs on shuffle is that the your listening habits are influencing the app’s algorithm.
For example, if you frequently skips certain songs or repeatedly plays the same songs, the app may start to think that these songs are the your favorites and will continue to play them on shuffle.
How To Fix Repeating Songs On Spotify’s Shuffle Mode
If you are getting repeating songs on Spotify’s shuffle mode, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem.
1. Refresh Your Playlist Or Album
If you’re listening to a specific playlist or album on shuffle, try refreshing the playlist or album.
This can be done by going to the playlist or album and clicking the three dots in the top right corner and selecting “Refresh.”
2. Create A New Playlist Or Album
If refreshing your current playlist or album doesn’t fix the problem, try creating a new one.
This will ensure that the shuffle algorithm starts fresh and doesn’t repeat songs that you’ve already heard.
3. Try A Different Shuffle Algorithm
Spotify offers a few different shuffle algorithms, including “Shuffle Play” and “Shuffle Play (Radio).”
Try switching to one of these other algorithms to see if it improves the shuffle experience.
4. Listen To A Broader Range Of Music
If you find that you’re listening to the same songs over and over again, it may be because you’re not listening to a broad enough range of music.
Try exploring new artists, genres, and playlists to expand your listening habits.
5. Delete The Spotify Cache
Sometimes, Spotify’s cache may get overwhelmed with data, causing the app to repeat the same songs over and over again.
To fix this, you can try clearing Spotify’s cache.
For this go to your phone settings >> search for Spotify app >> tap on clear cache on Android and tap on offload on iPhone.

QPR midfielder Massimo Luongo is off to Russia next summer after Australia booked their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals with victory over Honduras on Wednesday morning.
After the sides shared a goalless draw in the first leg of their play-off, it was winner-takes-all in Sydney.
Luongo – Man of the Match in Friday’s stalemate – was an unused substitute on this occasion, as a second-half hat-trick from captain Mile Jedinak clinched a 3-1 win.
Jedinak’s deflected free-kick broke the deadlock nine minutes after the re-start, before converting two penalties in quick succession to seal the Aussies' place.
Alberth Ellis pulled a goal back in stoppage time for the visitors but it was scant consolation.
Luongo now jets back to the UK to face Socceroos team-mate Jedinak ahead of Aston Villa’s arrival in W12 on Saturday.


On the show today we have an interview with Ryzor and Ziyon, a house music duo from South Africa better known as Liquideep. The band has sold millions of records since their formation in 2007 and their unique brand of soulful house has won them widespread acclaim from fans the world over.
They recently released their latest studio album Welcome Abroad and being a huge fan of theirs, it was a real honour for me to sit wwith them and talk music. After all, that’s the main reason I got into this whole radio malarky.

Musk has always turned up someone quite concerned about his legacy, someone from whom, for better or for worse, great things could be expected. In that we are. The launch of the first SpaceX Starlink satellites has been a very important technological step, but also has sparked a controversy that has been on the table for a long time.
Thanks to Starlink we can already say it without fear of being wrong: In the coming years, mega-costellations of satellites will change the night sky. They will mess it up, if we want to be more precise. But the controversy goes beyond filling the firmament with “new stars” and poses a key question for the future: whose space is it?
Dirtying the sky
What happened? That Marco Langbroek, an amateur Dutch astronomer, shared the video on these lines. It shows the spectacular of the Starlink network seen on a quiet night in the Netherlands. But the initial excitement was followed by worries. “I saw that train and it was certainly very spectacular,” Cees Bassa, an astronomer at the Netherlands Institute of Radio Astronomy, told The Guardian. “With these videos it is concluded that if several thousand of these are released , it will change the aspect of the night sky ”.
A sky full of new stars Bassa is precisely one of the few people who have studied the impact of these mega-constellations of satellites. And, although Musk has insisted that the satellites will be in the dark at night, the data does not allow us to be optimistic. According to Bassa’s calculations, once the first 1,584 satellites are in space, there will be at least 15 satellites always visible during the three or four hours after dark and before dawn.
The explanation is simple: being higher than the surface of the earth, the sun will continue to reflect on them during that time. That means that in summer there will be nights in which satellites will be seen at all times. When we have those 12,000 satellites, the figure will rise to between 70 and 100 satellites per night.
Why is the problem happening now? Don’t we already have the sky full of satellites and space junk? True, but there are key differences. Right now there are only about five thousand satellites in orbit and less than two thousand are active. But, as Daniel Martin points out, these new fleets have been designed “to guarantee coverage of most of the planet’s surface. This means that there must always be a minimum of several satellites of each constellation visible in the sky at all times to guarantee a smooth communication link ”.
SpaceX is not alone. We must not forget that, of course. SpaceX is just one of the nine companies that plan to offer internet via satellite: companies such as Amazon, OneWeb, Samsung, Boeing, Astrome Technologies or Commsat Technology Development already have projects underway and many others are in development. If we continue like this, tens of thousands of satellites will roam the sky in a few years.
Everyone’s heritage It is true that the Starlink satellites are not in their final location. When Langbroek captured them they were about 450 km up, kilometers closer to the earth’s surface than they will be in the next few weeks. That is, there are doubts about its final brightness, but the current brightness has really surprised many who interpret it as a very bad sign.
Mainly because no one seems to take seriously that heaven is everyone’s heritage.

The Wake Forest baseball team is continuing its trend of honoring Jim Horn this week as the Demon Deacons come to Shelby to host Gardner-Webb.
Horn was an alumnus of Wake Forest, and a member of the school’s 1955 NCAA baseball championship team, which remains the only North Carolina team to win an ACC title. While at Wake Forest, Horn became friends with current team coach Tom Walter.
Horn was also known in Shelby for his efforts in bringing the American Legion World Series to the city and making it a permanent fixture.
“When Jim passed away Tom said he’d like to play in Shelby to honor Jim and his memory,” said Eddie Holbrook, who served as co-chair of the American Legion World Series committee with Horn for more than a decade. “This game is important to the ALWS committee because it honors one of our original co-chairmen, who was dedicated to the ALWS in Shelby long before many others joined the effort.”
While Tuesday’s game is technically a home stop for the Demon Deacons, it's being played in a spot that is very familiar to the Runnin’ Bulldogs. Gardner-Webb has been playing baseball games at Keeter Stadium all season long while work is being on the college fields.
Admission to the game is free, with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m.
“We really encourage people, if you like baseball and want to see a good game, to come out and enjoy this game,” said Holbrook.

You picked up the pieces of my broken soul and assembled them once again. In your arms is where love slipped back into my being. Serenely, graciously, sedately.
Between these white sheets is where I rest my mind, forget myself and accept to be found as yours. To be kissed, to be scented, to bloom. My hand in your hand, my hair on your chest, your heartbeat coinciding mine.
All I ever wanted to hear is now being said, words whispered in my hair, my fingers tracking your skin.
There’s no greater bliss than being here with you, no flourishing peace nor bestowing freedom.
The balmy breeze creeps in, spreading fragrances of magnolia and cherry blossoms. This time is what we’ve been waiting for. Now. Here. In this bed. As one.
#love #faith #harmony

People who had been fully vaccinated against covid-19 were around half as likely to develop long covid symptoms as people who had received only one vaccine dose or were unvaccinated, the UK Health Security Agency has said.
The agency conducted a rapid review of evidence, including 15 UK and international studies up to January 2022. Being vaccinated was defined as having two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Oxford-AstraZeneca, or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
The review found that vaccine effectiveness against most post-covid symptoms in adults was highest in people over 60 and lowest in those aged 19 to 35.
Around 2% of the UK population have reported symptoms of long covid (or “post-covid syndrome”), which can last for more than four weeks after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. The most common symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, and muscle or joint pain.
Of eight studies that looked at the effect of vaccinations administered before infection, six suggested that vaccinated patients (those with one or two doses) were less likely than unvaccinated patients to develop symptoms of long covid in the short term (four weeks after infection), the medium term (12 to 20 weeks after infection), and the long term (six months after infection). As all eight studies included only participants who had caught covid-19, the researchers noted that the effect of vaccination on reduced incidence of covid-19 was not accounted for.
One of these studies, which was rated as medium quality, included 6030 UK participants who reported a positive test at least 14 days after their first vaccination (but before their second dose) and 2370 who tested positive at least seven days after their second vaccine dose. Vaccinated participants were matched with unvaccinated participants. The researchers found that fully vaccinated participants were about half as likely to have symptoms lasting at least 28 days as unvaccinated participants (odds ratio 0.51 (95% confidence interval 0.32 to 0.82); P=0.005), whereas those who were partially vaccinated were about as likely to have symptoms lasting at least 28 days than those who were unvaccinated (1.04 (0.86 to 1.25); P=0.69).
Three further studies compared ongoing symptoms in unvaccinated people, looking at the difference between those who went on to receive a vaccination and those who did not. They reported that the people who went on to get vaccinated were less likely to report long covid symptoms than those who remained unvaccinated over the same time period.
One of these studies, a preprint that was rated as medium quality, examined the effect of vaccination (with Pfizer or AstraZeneca) on long covid symptoms in previously unvaccinated participants who were admitted to hospital with covid-19 in April and May 2020. Researchers matched those who went on to get vaccinated (n=44; 82% symptomatic eight months after infection) with those who remained unvaccinated (n=22; 82% symptomatic eight months after infection). They found that one month after vaccination more vaccinated than unvaccinated participants reported that their symptoms had improved (23.2% v 15.4%). Similarly, fewer vaccinated people reported that their symptoms had worsened (25.6% v 14.3% in unvaccinated participants; P=0.035 for all differences), while a similar percentage of vaccinated and unvaccinated participants reported unchanged symptoms (71.1% v 70.3%).
As all of the studies included were observational, the UK Health Security Agency has highlighted that the results may stem from differences other than vaccination. It also noted that the definition of long covid varied between studies.
The agency’s head of immunisation, Mary Ramsay, said, “These studies add to the potential benefits of receiving a full course of the covid-19 vaccination. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself from serious symptoms when you get infected and may also help to reduce the longer term impact.
“For most people, symptoms of long covid are short lived and resolve over time. But for some, symptoms can be more severe and disrupting to their daily lives.”

Ogawa also suggests a fifth, Pericardium-Liver model. In these models, the two primary Madrilians are always defective.

In Ubuntu, XAMPP will not auto start on boot or reboot in usual Installation. We should manually enter the command to start the XAMPP as SUDO user.
But in the case of a standard user in Ubuntu, he cannot use the sudo command as he doesn’t have the admin privilege. In many cases like computer labs where students should not be provided with the admin privilege have to use XAMPP server for their academic needs.
The solution is as given below. Once you do this solution as a privileged user, XAMPP starts automatically while booting into your system (even if you are using unprivileged standard user).
phpMyAdmin is a free and open source tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL with the use of a web browser. It can perform various tasks such as creating, modifying or deleting databases, tables, fields or rows; executing SQL statements; or managing users and permissions.
In the last post I’ve discussed how to install LAMP server in Ubuntu.
LAMP is an open source Web development platform that uses Linux as the operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the relational database management system and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language. (Sometimes Perl or Python is used instead of PHP).
As the platform has four layers, LAMP is sometimes referred to as a LAMP stack. Stacks can be built on different operating systems. Developers that use these tools with a Windows operating system instead of Linux are said to be using WAMP; with a Macintosh system, MAMP; and with a Solaris system, SAMP.
Here I am discussing how to install LAMP server in Ubuntu.

We report odonate and butterfly extinctions on Pulau Mengalum (Sabah) between 1928 and 2007. Pulau Mengalum has lost all of its closed-canopy forest; 55.5% of the odonates and 40% of the butterflies present in 1928 have likely been extirpated. Fourteen and five species of odonates and butterflies found by us were new records for the island, respectively. It is unclear if newly recorded species were missed by previous surveyors in 1928 or if they have colonized the island after that time. While our study indicates that deforestation is a serious threat to tropical insects, it remains unclear if deforested areas provide opportunities for new colonists. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.
