When we talk about being in the room where it happens, we don’t usually mean a small, plexiglass-split cage. But during my years as a public defender, that little box, with dirty white walls and bad sound quality, was always the most important room I could be in.
It’s the room where my client would tell me things that perhaps no one else knew. He might tell me that being held in jail would cost him not only his job, but also his marriage, where things were already rocky. She might say she was on her first three days of sobriety after a bad bender, and that getting sent to Rikers, where drugs are everywhere, could knock her off the path to recovery. Or he might worry that he’d be deported because of this arrest, and sent back into the grips of a violent gang he’d refused to join as a child.
As defenders, it’s our job to put our heart on the line and stand beside our clients as they share their most frightening struggles. The debate around criminal justice reform often operates in abstractions based on data, studies, and broader crime trends. This sort of analysis is an important part of the conversation, but without the personal stories defenders witness on a daily basis, the system is blind to the humanity before it.
This is why public defenders, often overlooked by policymakers, are so essential to conversations about reform. Recently, Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County Public Defender Dean Beer and his chief deputy Keisha Hudson were fired after filing a brief detailing some of these deeply moving human stories.
They recounted a teenage mother with a clean record who was unable to nurse her newborn because she was denied access to a breast pump while in jail, all because she couldn’t afford to pay bail; and an impoverished elderly woman who was held on bail for stealing a bottle of wine; and a mentally ill indigent man who was arrested for shoplifting and locked because didn’t have $250 to buy his freedom.
After sharing those firsthand experiences of their clients, Beer and Hudson were intimidated and ultimately fired in retaliation. And they aren’t alone being punished for speaking these uncomfortable truths, as we’ve seen similar terminations of public defenders across the country.
I spent the better part of a decade defending the public in both California and the Bronx. I believed so deeply in the power of public defense not only as a criminal court resource, but as a locus for community-rooted services, that I left the courtroom to start an organization devoted to empowering public defenders and helping them achieve better results for their communities. It has since become clear to me that detailed accounts of how the criminal justice system impacts our clients can transform outcomes, and can have the same vital impact on larger national questions about what criminal justice reform must look like, and why.
Public defenders are entrusted with these stories because there are only ever two people in the room where it happens: us, and our clients. Our clients are often silenced on the topic of pretrial confinement because they have open cases, meaning they are not at liberty to discuss how they might be damaged by incarceration, or how they might benefit from having their liberty restored.
It falls to us, then, to figure out how to make sure the public and policy-makers are informed about what’s actually happening behind closed doors, while still keeping our clients safe.
Policy advocacy, for a defender, can be tricky--critics are quick to dismiss a push for systemic reform as a mere continuation of our defense of our clients. But this is a short-sighted interpretation of our role (we are as bound by the ethical duties to behave with honesty, candor and integrity as any other member of the bar).
The truth is that it is because of this ethical duty to protect our clients that we are often the only ones privy to the real, hard-hitting truths our clients live with every day. Prosecutors, reporters, judges, probation officers, and lawmakers may never know what’s really going on with the people at the center of these reform conversations unless they listen to public defenders first. They will never see first-hand how someone’s life can be derailed by pretrial confinement.
What happened in Montgomery County was an abandonment of justice. Expecting our courts and lawmakers to consider the stories of impacted people is the bare minimum of what we should demand in a fair system and society. Seeing those same officials use the power of their office to punish public defenders for offering the truth -- in a formal, measured, and appropriate way, no less -- is a shame that will mark the county for years to come.
On Thursday, more than 100 people rallied in support of Beer and Hudson outside the commissioners’ court in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Inside, nearly 50 members of the community gave passionate testimony in favor of reinstating them. Still, the commissioners declined to take immediate action, and haven’t clarified what the next steps will be.
The only way for the county and state to regain a semblance of fair leadership is to give these brave defenders their jobs back, and listen to the people in the room where it happens.
Emily Galvin is co-founder and Executive Director of Partners for Justice.

Note: If SoundExchange has notified us that you are owed money, CD Baby will have already sent you an email. But even if you didn’t receive an email from us, you should consider signing up for SoundExchange now because internet and satellite radio royalties are a growing source of revenue for independent musicians. Get on board early!
Royalties from internet & satellite radio are starting to pile up
You would think unclaimed money wouldn’t be much of an issue for today’s musician. But, a recent matching exercise with SoundExchange revealed $1,000,000 in unclaimed royalties owed to CD Baby artists. Sounds crazy, we know. But it’s true. SoundExchange wants to pay you.
A new kind of performance rights organization
SoundExchange is an organization that is authorized by the US government to collect and distribute performance royalties on behalf of recording artists and record labels. Sound Exchange collects money anytime a song is streamed on internet radio (including Pandora, Yahoo, and AOL), satellite radio (SIRIUS-XM), and digital cable and satellite tv audio channels (like Music Choice and DirecTV). Since 2001, they’ve paid out over $800 million in digital performance royalties to artists and labels. They are still holding millions more, waiting to be claimed. CD Baby has partnered with SoundExchange to help artists claim the money that’s owed to them.
The catch is: there’s NO CATCH!
We know this sounds too good to be true, but rest assured: it’s not a scam of any kind. And once you sign up, you’ll continue to receive quarterly payments whenever you’re owed money.
We’re not promising that SoundExchange owes you a piece of the pie, but there’s no charge to sign up, so if you do start generating royalties from internet and satellite radio play, you’ll automatically start getting paid. And if nothing else, isn’t it great to know there’s organizations like SoundExchange out there, helping the cause?

Femoral Nerve Location
The femoral nerve is located in the leg near the groin. The femoral nerve forms the largest branch of lumbar plexus and is associated both with motor and sensory function. The femoral nerve supplies out two muscular branches to the Psoas and Iliacus muscles.
Femoral Nerve Origin
The femoral nerve arises from the L2, L3 and L4 posterior divisions of the ventral rami in the lumbar region of the lower abdomen.
Femoral Nerve Function
- Motor function: The femoral nerve provides motor innervation to the anterior compartment thigh muscles. The femoral nerve helps in hip muscle movement and straightening of the legs and this forms the motor function. The femoral nerve innervates the muscles which allow for the flexion of the hip and extension of the knee.
- Sensory function: It provides sensory innervation to the skin of the anterior thigh. The sensory function of the femoral nerve is that it provides sensation to the front part of the thigh and lower part of the leg below the knee.
What is the course of the femoral nerve?
- The femoral nerve starts from the lumbar plexus in the abdomen and descends through the psoas major muscle.
- From here the femoral nerve passes deep into the inguinal ligament and then enters the thigh through the femoral triangle. In the femoral triangle, this nerve is laterally situated to the femoral artery.
- Placed distant and back from the inguinal ligament and under the Sartorius muscle, now the femoral nerve divides into branches where it gets terminated.
- The division of branches is into sensory and motor. The motor branches are Sartorius, quadriceps, and pectineus. The sensory branches are intermediate femoral cutaneous nerve, medial femoral cutaneous nerve, and the saphenous nerve.
Which branch of the femoral nerve is responsible for the sensory and motor innervation?
- Sensory innervation: The area of sensory innervation is due to the medial femoral cutaneous nerve and the intermediate femoral cutaneous nerve. Also, the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve and the saphenous nerve form the areas of innervation. The obturator nerve sensory innervation is not part of the femoral nerve innervation.
- Motor innervation: The hip flexors formed by the iliacus, psoas, sartorius, and pectineus form the motor function of the femoral nerve.
Femoral Nerve Pictures
How is the femoral nerve injured?
- The injury is usually caused by trauma which is the direct injury.
- Another reason is when there is a prolonged pressure on the nerve.
- When the femoral nerve gets compressed or trapped by structures such as a tumor in its nearby places, then there are possibilities of the nerve getting damaged.
- Even when there is damage to the lumbar spine or the pelvis, it may result in the trauma of the femoral nerve.
- The quadriceps tendon may get ruptured due to which there is a pain in the quadriceps muscle.
- When there is hematoma of the pelvis, the saphenous nerve of the femoral nerve will be affected.
- The iliopsoas region consists of the iliacus, psoas major and the psoas minor muscles. Here the hemorrhage in the pelvis and iliopsoas region may be caused by severe trauma, anticoagulation therapy, and hemophilia or any other diseases of the blood.
- Some other causes for the femoral nerve damage are diabetes and damage to the nearby bones.
What are the symptoms of femoral nerve injury?
- Loss of knee extension
- Loss of hip flexion
- Loss of sensation in areas where the sensory branches of the femoral nerve are located.
What is the femoral nerve stretch test?
The femoral nerve stretch test or the prone knee bending test is done for testing the motor function of the femoral nerve and to stress the lumbar (L2-L4) nerve roots. This is one of the most reliable techniques for assessment of the mid-lumbar (L2, L3, and L4) nerve root impingement.
The methodology performed is as follows:
- The patient is made to lie down symmetrically on the bed.
- The examiner places one hand on the patient’s pelvis so that there is no movement of the pelvis during the examination. This is done to stabilize the anterior pelvic rotation.
- The other hand of the examiner is used to flex the involved knee as much as possible and maintain that position for about 45 seconds.
If the pain is found in the lumbar region, anterior or the posterior thigh, groin or the buttocks then the test is positive.
Results of the femoral stretch test
If the test is positive it indicates that the L2, L3, and L4 nerve roots are involved. When there are disc herniations it affects the L5- S1 nerve roots.
What is the importance of the femoral nerve stretch test?
The femoral nerve passes through the anterior side of the lower extremities in the leg. The stretch test knee position puts tension on the femoral nerve and its nerve roots. So when the test is positive it indicates injury to the L2-L4 nerve roots. But one important point to note here is that the femoral nerve stretch test solely will not be enough to prove the femoral nerve impingement. A combination of other tests is necessary for diagnosis.
What is the mode of treatment for femoral nerve injury?
- Healing naturally: As doctors do not promote unnecessary surgical intervention, they leave it to heal by itself where there are possibilities. After the patient recovers, some exercises to improve mobility may be undertaken.
- Surgical intervention: When surgical interventions are necessary like in case of removal of tumors or other growths which is pressing the femoral nerve, then it is advisable to go in for such removal techniques.
- Medications: Medications may be administered either to reduce the inflammation and swelling or to reduce the pain.
- Therapy: The other common treatment technique is the physical therapy and use of support structures where mobility is an issue.
Some common questions related to the femoral nerve:
Q1. What are the problems faced when there is a femoral nerve injury?
Answer: One of the main problems is the difficulty in climbing up or down the stairs. It hurts more when getting down the stairs. Added to the motor problem is the muscle weakness which may result in falls and injuries to the leg. The other problem is the numbness in the thigh, knee or the lower leg. There may be burning sensation or tingling in the leg. In case of loss of sensation, any injuries or wounds in that area may go unnoticed, so people with diabetes need to be extra cautious.
Q2. What are the tests that may be conducted other than the nerve stretch test?
Answer: The other tests include Electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction tests (NCV) and MRI to rule out tumors.
Q3. Will the patient recover completely after proper diagnosis and treatment for femoral trauma?
Answer: When there is a femoral injury, the main course of action would be proper diagnosis and its subsequent treatment after which a patient recovers successfully. But sometimes the conditions may be such that a full recovery is not possible. Then the patient may have partial loss of movement or loss of sensation.

Derbyshire woman takes on super challenges to spread awareness of menopause
A Derbyshire woman who took up open water swimming and marathons during the menopause is on a mission to educate UK workforces about the ‘taboo’ subject.
Diane Evans, 55, from Matlock, believes that there is still a long way to go before the menopause is ‘normalised’ and that more needs to be done to spread awareness of the side-effects, which can include hot flushes, anxiety and fatigue.
She said: “Every individual who goes through the menopause will experience different symptoms.
“I believe that more needs to be done to educate both women and men about the menopause and that should start at a young age, during sex education in schools.”
Diane turned to Derby life coach Kul Mahay for support and guidance and credits the former police chief superintendent with helping to turn her life around.
She continued: “Kul and his team made me feel empowered and I had a massive mind-shift following our meetings.
“He made me realise that age is no barrier to success and happiness and not to compare myself to others.”
Diane used her new-found confidence to move her well-being business into a new direction and she is now a menopause consultant offering educational workshops, support and coaching to organisations looking to retain female talent.
She has worked with Nottinghamshire Police and the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU), educating them on how to support their staff during the menopause.
She said: “Self-care is the ultimate care, people really need to start taking better care of themselves.
“Exercise is proven to help with mental well-being and, for me, was essential during the menopause.
“I took up open water swimming and started training for marathons.
“I wanted to push myself and exercise is a release for me.”
Recently, Channel 4 launched a ‘menopause policy’ for all employees and it believed to be the first media organisation to offer its staff a private, cool and quiet workspace and a range of support and guidance.
The company’s HR team will also have a dedicated menopause champion to assist with this.
Meanwhile, Diane is looking forward to working alongside Kul as his Ignite Your Inner Potential conference returns to the Riverside Centre near Pride Park, in Derby on Saturday, January 11 where wide range of speakers will share their stories of success

THREE out of four Welsh farmers will get Single Farm Payments totalling £141m next Monday, the opening day of the EU subsidy window.
The proportion is about the same as last year and better than in England and Scotland, according to the Assembly Government.
Announcing the news at yesterday’s Winter Fair, rural affairs minister Elin Jones hoped the news would bring “some relief” to an industry devastated by the foot-and-mouth outbreak.
“She added: “My officials tell me they’ve received lots of calls from rural firms anxious to know when the payments would be made so they could chase up what they are owed.
“This shows the multiplicity of these payments which trickle down across the entire rural sector.”
The minister said the 75% pay-out vindicated her decision not award early payments to FMD-affected sheep farmers. Last month the industry called for upfront SFPs but at that stage only 40% of claims had been validated.
Many more farmers should receive SFPs before Christmas, providing they respond to validation inquires. Cardiff said it has also tightened communication links with the Rural Payments Agency in England, in theory improving payments to cross-border farmers.
Farmers who have not received their SFPs by March 3, 2008, should contact their local divisional office.
WINTER Fair organisers say next year’s event will reinforce its reputation as the top primestock show in Britain. By mid-afternoon yesterday 24,271 visitors had entered the Llanelwedd showground – just 2,725 down on last year’s record-breaker despite the loss of its poultry show and the absence of 98 cattle exhibitors and 400 sheep pairs due to bluetongue.
Event director Derick Hanks said the turn-out justified the decision to press ahead, predicting that other UK shows which cancelled would “find it difficult to come back next year”. RWAS president Edward Perkins said the fair had been a “super end to a difficult year”.
Grass is greener
RESEARCHERS at Iger, Aberystwyth, have outlined a new £1m, five-year study to develop perennial ryegrass rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Iger’s Prof Nigel Scollan believes the project could deliver major heart health benefits by boosting omega-3 levels in beef. He believes grass feeding of cattle delivers other benefits too, such as antioxidants, vitamin E and carotenoids. The right grass varieties also improve colour, shelf life and taste of meat, he said.
The project aims to add quality to beef as Welsh farmers cannot compete on price alone.

Reportage Without Frontiers' second documentary on the civil war sheds light through new historic documents and attestations on the events that led to the Greek civil war and the involvement of the British government.
Nikos Farmakis, who in 1944 was a member of the anti-communist organization "X", talks to Stelios Kouloglou about the events that took place in Syntagma Square and the killings of protesters, that led to the rising of the Greek Communist Party and the events of December 1944.
Sixty years after the attack at the Litohoron police station, two of ELAS’ s rebels who took part in the March 1946 attack, describe what happened that dramatic night, a precursor of the civil war that lay ahead. In an interview that is broadcasted for the first time, Marcos Vafeiadis, the chief-general of the Communist Party’s rebels during the civil war, reveals that an American journalist brought peace propositions from the Tsaldaris government to the "government of the mountain", which were turned down by the Communist Party’s leadership.
The investigation into the causes of the civil war, led our team to the discovery of the only existing copy of a banned documentary that examined the British involvement. According to revealing attestations by British agents and diplomats, Great Britain literally governed Greece in the years 1944-46, by removing and installing governments: "Greece was like a colony, the only difference being that the British ambassador wasn’t a colonial governor". One of the agents confesses that if the British embassy had interfered more decisively, the Greek civil war could have been prevented...

Czech Republic defeats Finland in shootout thriller
Climb back from 3-0 deficit in third period to win 4-3by Montreal Canadiens @canadiensMTL / canadiens.com
PARIS - The Czech Republic climbed back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat Finland 4-3 in the shootout in their third game of the preliminary round of the IIHF World Hockey Championship on Monday.
Finland had a strong first period, getting goals from Valtteri Filppula, Topi Jaakola and Ville Lajunen to go up 3-0.
After a scoreless second frame, the Czechs mounted their comeback in the third, with Roman Horak, Radko Gudas and Jan Kovar finding the back of the net. Neither team could net the winner in overtime, and it wasn't until the third round of the shootout that Robin Hanzl completed the comeback for the Czech Republic.
Tomas Plekanec was held off the scoresheet, had two shots, and an even differential in 20:40 of ice time, while Jakub Jerabek recorded a plus-1 differential in 18:35 of game action.
The Czechs will now enjoy two days off before their next game on Wednesday, when they face off against Andreas Martinsen and Team Norway.


Multilevel Voltage Space Vector Generation For Induction Motor Drives Using Conventional Two-Level Inverters And H-Bridge Cells
Multilevel voltage source inverters have been receiving more and more attention from the industry and academia as a choice for high voltage and high power applications. The high voltage multilevel inverters can be constructed with existing low voltage semiconductor switches, which already have a mature technology for handling low voltages, thus improving the reliability of the overall inverter system. These multilevel inverters generate the output voltage in the form of multi-stepped waveform with smaller amplitude. This will result in less dv/dt at the motor inputs and electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by switching is considerably less. Because of the multi-stepped waveform, the instantaneous error in the output voltage will be always less compared to the conventional two-level inverter output voltage. It will reduce the unwanted harmonic content in the output voltage, which will enable to switch the inverter at lower frequencies. Many interesting multi level inverter topologies are proposed by various research groups across the world from industry and academic institutions. But apart from the conventional 3-level NPC and H-bridge topology, others are not yet highly preferred for general high power drives applications. In this respect, two different five-level inverter topologies and one three-level inverter topology for high power induction motor drive applications are proposed in this work. Existing knowledge from published literature shows that, the three-level voltage space vector diagram can be generated for an open-end winding induction motor by feeding the motor phase windings with two two-level inverters from both sides. In such a configuration, each inverter is capable of assuming 8 switching states independent of the other. Therefore a total of 64 switching combinations are possible, whereas the conventional NPC inverter have 27 possible switching combinations. The main drawback for this configuration is that, it requires a harmonic filter or isolated voltage source to suppress the common mode currents through the motor phase winding. In general, the harmonic filters are not desirable because, it is expensive and bulky in nature. Some topologies have been presented, in the past, to suppress the common mode voltage on the motor phase windings when the both inverters are fed with a single voltage source. But these schemes under utilize the dc-link voltage or use the extra power circuit. The scheme presented in chapter-3 eliminates the requirement of harmonic filter or isolated voltage source to block the common mode current in the motor phase windings. Both the two-level inverters, in this scheme, are fed with the same voltage source with a magnitude of Vdc/2 where Vdc is the voltage magnitude requires for the NPC three-level inverter. In this scheme, the identical voltage profile winding coils (pole pair winding coils), in the four pole induction motor, are disconnected electrically and reconnected in two star groups. The isolated neutrals, provided by the two star groups, will not allow the triplen currents to flow in the motor phase windings. To apply identical fundamental voltage on disconnected pole pair winding, decoupled space vector PWM is used. This PWM technique eliminates the first center band harmonics thereby it will allow the inverters to operate at lower switching frequency. This scheme doesn’t require any additional power circuit to block the triplen currents and also it will not underutilize the dc-bus voltage. A five-level inverter topology for four pole induction motor is presented in chapter-3. In this topology, the disconnected pole pair winding coils are effectively utilized to generate a five-level voltage space vector diagram for a four pole induction motor. The disconnected pole pair winding coils are fed from both sides with conventional two-level inverters. Thereby the problems like capacitor voltage balancing issues are completely eliminated. Three isolated voltage sources, with a voltage magnitude of Vdc/4, are used to block the triplen current in the motor phase windings. This scheme is also capable of generating 61 space vector locations similar to conventional NPC five-level inverter. However, this scheme has 1000 switching combinations to realize 61 space vector locations whereas the NPC five-level inverter has 125 switching combinations. In case of any switch failure, using the switching state redundancy, the proposed topology can be operated as a three-level inverter in lower modulation index. But this topology requires six additional bi-directional switches with a maximum voltage blocking capacity of Vdc/8. However, it doesn’t require any complicated control algorithm to generate the gating pulses for bidirectional switches. The above presented two schemes don’t require any special design modification for the induction machine. Although the schemes are presented for four pole induction motor, this technique can be easily extend to the induction motor with more than four poles and thereby the number of voltage levels on the phase winding can be further increased. An alternate five-level inverter topology for an open-end winding induction motor is presented in chapter-4. This topology doesn’t require to disconnect the pole pair winding coils like in the previous propositions. The open-end winding induction motor is fed from one end with a two-level inverter in series with a capacitor fed H-bridge cell, while the other end is connected to a conventional two-level inverter to get a five voltage levels on the motor phase windings. This scheme is also capable of generating a voltage space vector diagram identical to that of a conventional five-level inverter. A total of 2744 switching combinations are possible to generate the 61 space vector locations. With such huge number switching state redundancies, it is possible to balance the H-bridge capacitor voltage for full modulation range. In addition to that, the proposed topology eliminates eighteen clamping diode having different voltage ratings compared to the NPC inverter. The proposed topology can be operated as a three-level inverter for full modulation range, in case of any switch failure in the capacitor fed H-bridge cell. All the proposed topologies are experimentally verified on a 5 h.p. four pole induction motor using V/f control. The PWM signals for the inverters are generated using the TMS320F2812 and GAL22V10B/SPARTAN XC3S200 FPGA platforms. Though the proposed inverter topologies are suggested for high-voltage and high-power industrial IM drive applications, due to laboratory constraints the experimental results are taken on the 5h.p prototypes. But all the proposed schemes are general in nature and can be easily implemented for high-voltage high-power drive applications with appropriate device ratings.

Voltz existed on the crusty fringe of the NWOBHM. The band were not particularly heavy, and didn’t shy away from progressive elements or less-than-metal moments. Voltz one and only album, Knight’s Fall, was released on Airship Records.
With Knight’s Fall, the production is low budget, the drums are polite, and the guitars are thinner than a hobo’s wallet.

Rupert regained consciousness, as he found himself waking up in a dark location. He could hear the sound of cars moving along the streets, beeping their horns as they drove up and down the street. Rupert moved around, trying to get a grip on where he was. He smelled to figure out where he was, and he couldn't bear what he was smelling. He stood up, and could barely even do that. He looked down directly at his feet, and found himself in a dumpster in some alley.
"Leave it to Edna to just throw me somewhere!" Rupert said, as he climbed out of the dumpster.
He landed on his feet, wiping off a used napkin off his shoulder, and a ripped portion of a garbage bag on the other. He casually walked out of the alley, and it took him a while to have his eyes adjust to the sunlight, as it beamed down at him. Once his eyes adjusted, he got a good look around the city.
He was in one of the less crowded districts of the city. He saw plenty of cars, but not many people walking up and

As some of you may remember (though surely most do not) I had some questions about getting a micro SD memory card for this phone - so I could store MP3's on it, to be played back at my leasure. Well, after asking around from a number of sources (this site being one of them) - I was assured that the standard, generic 2 GB Micro SD card would work with this device. So, I bought a Kingston 2GB "mobility kit". This "kit" contained the aforementioned 2GB Micro SD card - two adaptors of differing sizes (to use with already owned card readers for larger memory cards) - as well at a "reader" of its own (some small, plug in the back item - like you would plug a portable flash drive into your USB port). I am able to get my new Windows Vista laptop to read the card - and as well as transfer MP3's over to it (the card). However, when I put the card into the Samsung SGH-t629 Phone - even though it "recognizes" it when I put it in (there is a message on the readout of the phone saying so) - the MP3 player in the phone does not recognize it. Hence, I cannot access the songs on there. I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

My mind was set before Election Day. I thought Donald Trump’s mishandling of COVID-19 and an abnormally high voter turnout would guarantee the election for Joe Biden. But on Election Day, my confidence began to waver. I was scared that I had underestimated Trump’s supporters and again he would catch everyone by surprise.
To remain focused on school, I limited myself to checking the election results only three times a day. I already had deleted my social media apps due to daily electoral toxicity and misinformation, so I relied on National Public Radio, Reuters, and the Associated Press to stay in the loop. Violent viral videos and questionable posts by celebrities and people that I grew up with turned me away from social media. Everyone is entitled to their fact-based opinions, but I no longer have the stamina to keep up with the conspiracies, divisiveness, violence, and hatefulness being shared.
I cannot wait to see Trump face reality this coming inauguration. Even though the election has not been certified yet, knowing that he will probably be leaving the White House soon fills me with hope for the future. I could not imagine living under his administration for another four years. Still, Trump’s popularity is troubling. His baseless efforts to delegitimize the election results is a mockery of our democracy. It is absurd that there are so many people willing to perpetuate false narratives about voter fraud. There is less consensus than I had hoped there was, and the next administration will have to inherit the divisiveness that has been exacerbated by the previous one.

Exercise. Improve your diet. Lose weight. You’ve probably heard the mantra over and over again.
People living with diabetes know that along with the many added responsibilities of caring for themselves, one of the most important is receiving proper guidance and counseling from their primary care physicians.
But does this counseling really help? And should physicians continue advising patients repeatedly?
Now, a new study suggests that patients who received lifestyle counseling at least once a month were at a decreased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and hospitalization for chest pain as well as death from any cause compared to those who received counseling less frequently.
“Our study provides real-life evidence that lifestyle counseling can prevent strokes, heart attacks, disabilities, and even death,” says Dr. Alexander Turchin, an endocrinologist in the Brigham’s Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Hypertension.
“The message here for physicians is that it’s important to continue having these conversations with patients about the lifestyle changes they can make to lower their risk and to have patients come back in to continue the conversation until their blood glucose levels are under control.”
Turchin says the message for patients is to bring up questions about what you can do to prevent heart attacks and strokes when you see your doctor. “Patients can solicit these conversations too and take control of their disease,” he says.
How was the Study Conducted?
Turchin and colleagues conducted a retrospective analysis of 19,293 patients with uncontrolled blood glucose levels (HbA1c: 7.0% [53 mmol/mol]) who were seen at primary care clinics affiliated with the Brigham and Massachusetts General Hospital between 2000 and 2014.
To determine how frequently the patients received lifestyle counseling, the team used natural language processing to comb through physicians’ notes recorded in electronic medical records, looking for keywords such as “watch his/her diet,” or “healthier eating habits.”
The team found that most patients (16,057) received lifestyle counseling less than monthly.
Patients who received at least monthly counseling had a greater decrease in their blood glucose levels (1.8 percent vs. 0.7 percent) and had a lower rate of incidences of cardiovascular events and death over the next two years (33 percent vs. 38 percent) compared to the group that received less frequent counseling.
Unlike a randomized, controlled clinical trial, the current study analyzed data retrospectively from clinics.
A previously published randomized clinical trial, known as Look AHEAD, found that a lifestyle intervention did not reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes.
Turchin’s study looked at data from nearly four times as many patients and extends previous work indicating that frequent lifestyle counseling can help reduce blood glucose levels.
“As a physician, it’s encouraging to see that these conversations can change outcomes that matter to our patients,” says Turchin. “We’re not talking about just changing the numbers, we’re talking about preventing strokes, heart attacks, disability and death.”
The study was supported in part by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, National Natural Science Foundation of China, non-profit Central Research Institute Fund of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Innovation Fund for Medical Sciences, and Training Program for Excellent Talents in Dongcheng District.
The study has been published in Diabetes Care.

The amount of momentum I have gained in my personal life since starting this blog is impressive. At the end of 2020, I hadn’t seriously ridden my horse in 4 years. I was overweight and out of shape. I hadn’t written a short story or poem in a decade. I had never learned to play the guitar.
Since I’ve channeled my New Years’ commitment into a no zero year, I’ve consistently made strides in all of those areas with a blog for added accountability. Max and I ride 3-5 days a week. I’ve lost over 15lbs, three pant sizes, my stamina, strength, and biochemistry are all vastly improved. I’ve written several stories and poems that I am very proud of and am getting to the point where I actually believe I can start and finish a novel. I learned to play the guitar a little bit, got a piano, learned to play that a little bit, and feel like I’ve given music a good try.
With spring all around me, I’m feeling the urge to revisit and edit my goals going forward.
Horseback riding is what fuels me, and I’m going to rebrand my goals and my blog to reflect that passion. I’ll be setting music aside for the time being.
So far this year, I’ve checked off most of my no zero days by horseback riding. I’m getting to the point where I need to exercise daily outside of just riding my horse to become a better rider.
As a writer, I’ve dabbled in random prompts enough this year that I feel primed and ready to focus on purposeful writing. I’m looking forward to concentrating on horse fiction. I’ve always dreamed of writing novels, and I know I have a herd of horse novels in my brain, tossing their heads to be let out.
This blog has inspired me to explore my true passions of riding and writing. I’m excited to move forward on a more focused path. Keep tuned for my upcoming refresh — soon, there will be a new name, new look, and new content!


Defining neural network architecture is a key step in deep learning. A lot of decisions have to be made regarding the architecture, number of nodes, activations function, regularization etc. One of the the important aspect is combining multiple inputs parallely and passing it to the next layer. This is done using the Functional API of Keras. The other option is Sequential API. Here in this article, lets take a quick look at both cases and understand their pro and cons and usecase scenarios.
The sequential API is the simple option here. This is used when you do not want to combine multiple inputs but simply pass the output of one layer to the next. The sequential API is imported using the following code.
from keras.models import Sequential
After creating a model/sequential object, the only thing you have to take care of here is the input shape you are passing in. Suppose you are passing a feature row vector of 128 dimensions, the input shape will be that of (None, 128).
Once it is done, you can simply add as many layers on top of the input layer by simply using the “Add()” function.
The following code snippet shows the example of a simple three-layer architecture with two output nodes using sequential API.
from keras.layers import Dense model = Sequential() model.add(Dense(32, activation="relu", input_shape=(None, 128))) model.add(Dense(2, activation="softmax"))
Once it is done, you can simply print the model summary or plot the model architecture to see how everything fits together.
from tensorflow.keras.utils import plot_model plot_model(model, to_file="Model.png")
The simplicity of sequential API makes it impossible to pass multiple inputs or layer outputs concatenated to the next layer. This is where we find the functional API useful.
Following code snippet is an example on Functional API from Keras documentation.
from keras.layers import Input, Embedding from keras.layers import LSTM, Dense, merge from keras.models import Model main_input = Input(shape=(100,), dtype="int32", name="main_input") x = Embedding(output_dim=512, input_dim=10000, input_length=100)(main_input) lstm_out = LSTM(32)(x) auxiliary_loss = Dense(1, activation="sigmoid", name="aux_output")(lstm_out) auxiliary_input = Input(shape=(5,), name="aux_input") x = merge([lstm_out, auxiliary_input], mode="concat") x = Dense(64, activation="relu")(x) x = Dense(64, activation="relu")(x) x = Dense(64, activation="relu")(x) main_loss = Dense(1, activation="sigmoid", name="main_output")(x) model = Model(input=[main_input, auxiliary_input], output=[main_loss, auxiliary_loss])
The model architecture will look like the following
The first thing to notice here is that the model object is created only after defining the input layer, output layer, hidden layers, and connections between them. Whereas in sequential API, the model object is created first and different layers are simply added one on top of the next.
Here the outputs from the auxiliary output and LSTM output are merged and passed to the Dense 1 layer. Also, there are two outputs which are the main output and the auxiliary output.
As you can see both sequential and functional APIs has their own strength and weakness. Both are extremely be useful when they are applied at the right way for the right problem. For simple neural networks sequential API is the best. When complex network is required with muliple features and parallel connections, functional API is the way to go.

Prince Harry put the crown jewels on display in Vegas this weekend It all went down Friday night during a raging party in a high rollers hotel suite. We're told Harry, along with a large entourage, went down to the hotel bar and met a bunch of hot chicks
Prince Harry was today flying back to the UK to face a firestorm over explicit photographs showing him cavorting naked with a mystery woman in a Las Vegas hotel room. The third in line to the throne has been accused of bringing the Royal Family into global disrepute after the pictures were leaked to a US website. Scroll down for video. Letting his heir down: Prince Harry relaxed poolside surrounded by bikini-clad girls in Vegas before his naked antics came to light. In one picture the prince can be seen cupping his hands around his groin in a fruitless bid to preserve his modesty as the dark-haired girl hides behind him. He can then be seen bear hugging a nude girl by the side of the pool table as other partygoers look on. He was photographed riding a pony that appeared to have been stabbed in the flank by his spurs. However senior royal sources made clear to MailOnline that the prince was in his hotel suite on a private holiday and had expected a 'reasonable degree of privacy. He could face a meeting with his Army superiors when he returns later today. Their rules state that 'social misbehaviour' is not acceptable, especially if it tarnishes the reputation of Britain's armed forces.

(The feedback from this item, which I put up last month, has been so emotional that it became the basis for my column today. To me, the big question: At the heart of this longing, are there some lessons for the way we try to shape our communities today?)
By the way, if you hit "post a comment" and get a blank screen, just scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll get the conversation. Anyway, here's the original post:
I was driving home along South Avenue not long ago when I got to reflecting on what the Elmwood commercial district once was, and could be again. In its prime, judging by the shells of old commercial buildings, that little retail area stretched for four or five solid blocks and must have been a true neighborhood center, reminscient of Eastwood. Today it is fragmented, with a few commercial anchors (Wilson Farms, Swallows, a longtime cleaners) and many empty storefronts.
It has always seemed to me - considering the swell of commuter traffic from Onondaga Hill that goes through the South Avenue-Valley Drive-Glenwood Drive intersection each day - that a bakery and a few other well-planned shops might be able to make a go of it, even now.
Amid those thoughts, a correspondent called "Nanato5" started a whole thread of conversation about the heyday of Elmwood on the forum. I'll cut and paste it and put it into the comments. If you have any thoughts or reflections to add, feel free.

Ahead of Thanksgiving, North Carolina colleges raise awareness about on-campus food insecurity
As Thanksgiving approaches, colleges across the state are raising awareness about food insecurity.
In the Triangle, North Carolina State University and UNC-Chapel Hill are competing in their third annual pantry bowl.
Since Nov. 19, the two schools have been going head-to-head to raise money for their respective food pantries to help students in-need get food and supplies. The competition lasts through the annual Tar Heels versus Wolfpack football game on Saturday.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the two universities have collectively raised more than $78,000 dollars.
Carlisle Watts, the president of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Carolina Cupboard, said a recent study found that 22% of students at UNC-Chapel Hill face some form of food insecurity.
“It’s a major problem on college campuses,” Watts said. “So, maybe you can get almost all of your items, but you can't get the last few things… We’re really focused on serving any level of food insecurity.”
The pantries provide students with food, toiletries — like shampoo and toothbrushes — and even laundry detergent. Previous pantry bowls have allowed the Carolina Cupboard to purchase industrial fridges and freezers, which expanded their offerings.
“Food is fuel,” Watts said. “So, we also look at getting nutritious food for students, not just ramen noodles. Yes, it is food, but also, we want to have fresh food and frozen food — foods that fulfill nutritional requirements for students.”
Community colleges are also spreading awareness about food insecurity. Durham Tech Community College, Alamance Community College and Piedmont Community College are participating in the fifth annual Collegiate Hunger Challenge.
The challenge includes 14 colleges total, including some four-year universities. In it, the schools compete against each other to collect food donations.
The top schools have a chance to win money from a $25,000 prize pool sponsored by Food Lion and the N.C. Campus Engagement network.
Jessica Zettlemoyer, Durham Tech’s student hunger ambassador, said the challenge sets the college up to help various campus members.
“There are so many students, faculty, and staff who count on the campus food pantry, even if it's just a snack or water,” Zettlemoyer said. “I saw the impact this had on campus last year, even though we sadly did not win. Durham Tech is a safe space where all people can grow and do great things.”
The challenge started in September and lasts until Dec. 22.

JD 870 not pulling its own weight
|Trent Voigt||I just bought a JD 870 a few months ago. I has slowly lost the ability to pull its own weight. It now will only pull its weight in 1st gear.
I checked the transaxle fluid and it looks full, can anyone tell me what fluid it takes?
Does anyone have an idea if this is a clutch problem or something else?
|swampfox112||There is so many things that could be the problem based on your vague description that it would be just guess's but assuming your motor is in tune and running at top performance,and it has motor oil in it,and you unlocked the parking brake, it has to be something between the crankshaft and the ground causing the drag.(DUH) Checking the transaxal fluid and ALL of the fluids is good, then I would make sure the brakes are not hanging up. Jacking up the wheels (all of them) and turning them might help to see if there is any drag. If not the brakes, it could be wheel bearing(s) seizing up. Usually clutches either engage or they don't. I wouldn't think your clutch is the problem. It could be bearings in the transmission seizing also,if so it won't be long before it locks up and you will have damaged alot of expensive parts. I suggest you stop using this tractor totally until you find the problem. Of course, this is just my opinion and hey, what do I know? Good Luck.
|gerry||I own a JD 850 and it takes 5 gallons of HY GARD TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC FLUID. I don't know of a source other than John Deere. The transmission lube and the hydraulic oil use the same resivoir which is basically tne transmission case. Assuming your 870 is a gear tractor (you mentioned first geat) the symptoms sound like a weak clutch to me. Is there say at least 1" of free play in the clutch pedal? If not the clutch may not be fully engaging.

Ole Mathiesen designed the first watches in 1962 with the clear intention of introducing a classic watch which was strong enough to find harmony in its own form. A watch inspired by the Danish design traditions of form follow functions which was never pretentious, neither in form nor price.
Swiss Made / Danish design
The classic Ole Mathiesen watch is considered a Danish design classic, claiming its place within the beautiful and internationally admired Danish design tradition. The watches have since 1962 been manufactured in Switzerland labeled with the prestigious "Swiss Made" mark.
The convex dial is a trademark of Ole Mathiesen and rarely used by luxury watch manufacturers any more due to the complexity in construction. The convex shape gives an extra feeling of depth and a "soft" expression - with a clear reference to the classic watch design from the 1960s.
Scratchproof Sapphire crystal
The scratchresistant Ole Mathiesen sapphire crystal is carved from a solid block into a convex shape in order to increase the strength as well as to reduce reflections in the crystal.
The ultra-thin Swiss made quartz controlled mechanical movement secure a consistently precise timekeeping.
The stainless steel case is manufactured in the low carbon steel alloy 316L which is commenly used in Pharmaceuticals, Marine applications as well as Medical implants. The cutting and machining operations is followed by a series of hand-finished operations like polishing, circular satin brushed and matbrushed finish inside and outside.

Financial aid disbursements rise
Sacramento State disbursed almost $46 million in financial aid this summer for the fall semester, says Financial Aid director Craig Yamamoto. That’s an increase of $11 million in loans and grants from the fall of 2008.
The increase is due to both a rise in the amount of disbursements and the number of students receiving aid. A total of 9,935 students received financial aid, 742 more than last year. They also had 3,000 more students applying for aid this year than last.
The Financial Aid Office accomplished this despite facing a number of hurdles. Because the CSU imposed two fee increases this year, the office had to re-package aid requests for each change. The University also converted the student loan program from the Federal Family Education Loan Program to a direct loan program. That change helped streamline the loan process. Yamamoto says there are now fewer people and financial agencies involved with the approval process, which greatly reduces the chance of error in the paperwork.
His office also had to deal with a number of staff vacancies and institute furlough days, all while re-figuring and modifying these crucial programs.
“We were on pins and needles to get it done before the first check disbursement,” Yamamoto says, “but we were able to accomplish this major increase despite the extra work.”
Disbursements cover a variety of student needs – fees, books, supplies, and housing.

House Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX) accused Hillary Clinton of committing “treason” Thursday morning because of the way the former secretary of state handled her emails.
McCaul accused Clinton on Fox and Friends of taking devices abroad that contained classified e-mails even though the State Department advised against it.
“Now we find out –as James Comey told me previously–it’s very likely that foreign adversaries from other nations got into her private server. This is why you have security protocols to protect classified information,” McCaul said. “She exposed it to our enemies and now … our adversaries have this very sensitive information that not only jeopardizes her and national security at home, but the men and women serving overseas. This is in my opinion quite frankly it’s treason.”
Fox News reported Thursday morning that according to two anonymous sources with knowledge of the FBI’s investigation, the FBI was “99 percent” certain that foreign adversaries had been able to access emails on Clinton’s private server.
The FBI said publicly in July while it was “possible” Clinton’s email server had been hacked by foreign entities when she was abroad, there was no direct evidence it had happened.
McCaul’s “treason” comment came just hours after he told Fox News Wednesday that Clinton should be “impeached” if she were elected.
“This investigation will continue whether she wins or not, but assuming she wins and the investigation goes forward, and it looks like an indictment is pending, at that point of time in the Constitution, the House of Representatives would engage in an impeachment trial,” McCaul said Wednesday in reference to a congressional probes into Clinton’s e-mails. “It would go to the Senate, and impeachment proceedings and removal would take place.”


Melbourne, 25 January 2011 | Darren Saligari
Hard to believe but Melbourne Park is 23 years old – if it was a tennis player it would be reaching its peak, but as one of the world’s best known sporting precincts, it’s due for an upgrade.
Twelve months ago a $363 million redevelopment was announced and today the second stage of that development – the Eastern Plaza – was unveiled.
Announced today by Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty, Major Projects Minister Denis Napthine and Tennis Australia CEO Steve Wood, the new Eastern Plaza will be built between Hisense Arena and Punt Road.
With the early works project 10 months in, this second stage of development will begin mid-2011 and will include:
- eight new indoor courts and 13 outdoor courts
- warm-up and warm-down facilities
- an elevated plaza for public use
- a multilevel carpark for 1000 cars and 30 buses
- a pedestrian bridge over Olympic Boulevard completing a direct pedestrian link between the MCG, Melbourne Park and AAMI Park.
Good news for Australian juniors as these new facilities will benefit their development enormously. As will the world’s elite players who travel to Melbourne for the Australian Open each year will win with more facilities available for practice.
“It’ll provide a major boost to the Australian Open as well as to our junior development programs. This facility will help us to continue to grow tennis in Australia with the new world-class training facilities,” said Wood.
“If you’re not in Australia, if you’re not here at the Australian Open then you’re not anywhere, because it is the most significant event right around the world.,” Delahunty said.
“We want to encourage not only people to come as visitors to the area, whether they be interstate, from Victoria or around the world for that matter.”
With the Australian open attracting more fans year on year up from 250,000 in 1988 to more than 650,000 in 2010, it’s clear that the popularity of this event is not decreasing. To counter this, increased public spaces in the $130 million Eastern Plaza will give punters more shaded areas to relax both during the Australian Open and year round, with the new facilities available for hire to the public.
The first stage of development will be completed by the Western Precinct, which will see Margaret Court Arena expanded and enclosed with a roof, the extension of the concourse surrounding Rod Laver Arena and upgrades to the areas beneath Rod Laver Arena. However, this work isn’t due to begin until 2012 with Stage 1 of the redevelopment completed in time for Australian Open 2015.
This multi-million dollar redevelopment guarantees that the Australian Open, the jewel in Victoria’s sporting crown, will stay in Melbourne until at least 2036.
“We want to ensure that the event continues through the development phase, but importantly we want to continue to make sure that this facility stays the home of not only the Australian Open but it continues to hold that status in the Grand Slam events throughout the world,” said Delahunty.

Nokia has long been known for great cameras, and Microsoft seems eager not to let that reputation slide, promising a new update for Lumia Windows Phones that puts photography front and center. Lumia Denim builds on the latest Windows Phone 8.1 version with some Lumia-specific exclusive features, most notably the new Lumia Camera.
For a long time it looked like Microsoft had forgotten that it owned Skype, but the VoIP and video call service is finally being capitalized on with the new Nokia Lumia 735 and Lumia 730. Billed as ideal for Skype and selfies, the Windows Phone 8.1 pair slot in at the more affordable end of the Lumia range, with 5-megapixel front-facing cameras and a Lumia Selfie app.
At IFA 2014, Sony is trying to bring the Walkman brand back into relevance with its latest and smallest Walkman to date. The Walkman NWZ-A17 and the MDR-1A headphones that you will most likely need to go with it both bring Hi-Res quality audio to the table, giving audiophiles something to think about for their next audio equipment purchase.
This week the folks at Sony have brought several high-end products to IFA 2014 in both the mobile and camera realms. The Sony Xperia Z3 leads the pack, while the Sony Lens Camera crew brought some strange surprises. There were also a couple of massive televisions revealed for good measure.
Logitech has launched a new Bluetooth keyboard for the gadget-unfaithful, with the Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 able to switch between three different devices at the caress of a dial. Intended to jump between your PC or Mac, your tablet, and your phone - or any other combination of devices, in fact - the K480 also finds room for shortcuts for the more popular platforms.
It has been a busy day, and you mightn't have caught all the exciting new products introduced for IFA 2014 this morning. Making that task a bit easier, we've rounded up all Samsung's announcement into this handy round-up for your perusal, offering all the details and a few hands-on writeups to go with them.
Sony's Xperia Z3 smartphone will be launching with T-Mobile near the end of the year, ensuring buyers in the United States will be able to get their hands on the new flagship without lengthy waits. This is a big deal for Sony, which has seen lackluster carrier support for its flagship handsets, which are often difficult or out of reach for many fans in the US.
The newest in Lens-style Camera technology from Sony is the ILCE-QX1, complete with interchangeable E-mount lenses. This device bucks the solid trend with Lens Cameras released by this brand by including compatibility with interchangeable Sony E-mount lenses of all sorts. It's also the more versatile sibling to the QX30.
ASUS has revamped its MeMO Pad 7 Android tablet, bringing the 7-inch Android 4.4 slate down to 8.3mm thick and throwing Intel's Atom Z3560 processor inside.
