Mia was nursing a broken heart when she decided to go solo traveling in Europe. Three-months later, she went home with a wider perspective on life, and a stronger heart and character that is ready to take on whatever possibilities that come her way.
Meanwhile, blogger Gale hopped on a bus six years ago to visit a friend’s family just to have a break on her routinely work. With a degree in Anthropology, this lady is not new to visiting remote places and immersing herself to the culture and their people. Adjusting in a new place, and having that constant curiosity on things around her come naturally in her character. She also left her job as an analayizer of a site for gadget reviews R-Tech24 which she said really pays the bill. But she is not happy.
Years later, Mia and Gale are two of the most known female travelers in the country—exploring places, meeting people, and pursuing passion one travel destination as a time. Some may say that traveling solo and slow may be lonely. Terrifying even.
While many thinks they do not want to look like losers for not having any travel buddies, as what TV writer and author Kristin Newman told Time, solo female travelers wanted to get the life they want without having to adjust to anyone’s time and preferences.
“It’s the same how people don’t want to eat dinner alone. I think people are afraid of being lonely, of being scared, of looking like they didn’t have anybody,” she notes.
Moreover, the scary thought of getting lost, being robbed, and meeting scammers as you go on the streets of a new place may pull you down and make you shun your dream of travelling.
But for Mia, a freelance writer and editor and the author behind travel blog solo traveling made her discover herself more—this is amidst the risks.
“I have learned that I am strong and confident when I’m traveling alone. I know how to take care of myself,” she says in an interview, adding that one should know the line between chasing dream and risking safety and security.
Gale was also a freelance writer, can attest to this. She said, “I’ve learned to navigate in strange places and overcome obstacles all by myself. I also get to test my patience and courage and I have more time to reflect.”
Aside from meeting new people and learning about the places and their cultures, the two says that going places alone is a way to discover yourself more, away from your comfort zone. Author Candy Spelling wrote in Huffington Post that without anyone to please but yourself alone, you enjoy a sense of independence, while having the opportunity to have a restorative mind.
She says, “I think that if you can take a trip on your own, you might find that the peace and tranquility are worth it. It’s just you and the universe—no one to answer to! You may see, as I did, that such a scenario could be very restful and transformative.”
She said, “I have to either use the timer, or ask someone else to take it which usually ends up not a good one.” Also, witnessing a spectacular view for the first time gives a kick of melancholy as you also remember people that you want to share the stunning sight with. But more than the view and the blurred shots, solo and slow travelling is rewarding as meeting people along the way is something you can treasure for a lifetime—it may be that photographer you met while in Thailand’s Krabi Island, or the kid who was selling postcards in Vietman.
While keeping yourself on guard at all times, Gale says that we should not lose hope in humanity and just give in to the notion that strangers should not be trusted. Sometimes, strangers find long and lasting friendships to fellow strangers too. “I have also learned that people are kinder than we give them credit for. Sure, there are places where the people seem rude and unfriendly, but someone’s bound to come and help you out without expecting anything in return,” Gale notes. Since last year, been hopping countries from Bolivia, Brazil, and even went hiking up to Peru’s Maccu Pichu and the United States. For them, they are living the dream.

Sometimes students struggle with beliefs they have formed about how, when and with whom they should form a romantic relationship. Many students feel the need or urge to act on impressions they have formed from popular media and friends about relationships, and many times this leads to frustration and disappointment. So, we all may need a relationship reality check from time-to-time.
Here is a list of some common myths:

(I wrote this recipe several years ago, after listening to the JT Show on Supertalk MS. J.T. Williamson was a radio host in the middle of the day and I listened to his show while at work. He often gave recipes out on Fridays. This casserole is one of his recipes and during the winter months, it has become a favorite in our house. Sadly, J.T. passed away this weekend. Prayers for his family. He will be so greatly missed.
August 2, 2021)
I heard about this recipe on the radio this week, but my hands were busy and I couldn’t write it down. So, I looked on line and decided to doctor the recipes I found on the internet. If you’re a meat and potato kinda person, this casserole is for you.
1 pound lean ground meat
Seasoning- salt, pepper, Cajun if you would like
2 tablespoons Worcester shire sauce
Couple tablespoons of minced onion
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Enough tator tots to arrange on top
What to do:
Preheat oven to 375°
Brown the ground meat, drain fat and mix in Worcester shire sauce, onion and seasoning. Placed cooked meat into the bottom of a medium sized casserole dish.
In a small bowl mix together the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Spread this mixture over the top of the meat. On top of this, evenly sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
The last layer is the tator tots. You could dump them all over the top haphazardly, but why not make it pretty? Lay them side by side in concentric circles.
Now, isn’t that pretty? Bake at 375° for thirty minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown.
Are you wondering how I tweaked the recipe? Well, I added the sour cream to the soup layer. Try it. It adds a great tangy kick to this classic casserole.
Enjoy. Blessings from the Exile’s Kitchen.

‘How do you drive cohesion where we are physically distant?’
As many businesses slowly see employees fill seats when they return to the workplace, a new type of “blended” culture will inevitably need to be created, says one expert.
“We’re going to see more contract workers versus full-time employees. We’re going to see globally diverse teams that are working on asynchronous schedules, and workflows,” says Andrew Au, cofounder of the Intercept Group marketing consultancy in Toronto.
“When you think about hybrid teams in the fall, you’re going to have people that are going to return to the office and they’re going to work some online or some from home and some in the office.”
Managing the changes
The distance necessitated by the COVID-19 outbreak, has brought upon a radical change to how workers and managers view each other, he says.
“It’s not about the social interactions anymore. With calls with your colleagues or web calls, it is about the work, it’s transactional. That’s created this divide when it comes to culture; the culture of organizations that’s getting the ultimate stress test.”
The new challenge for managers is to create a level playing field, says Au, to strengthen culture and engagement.
“Now if you’re a manager: ‘I’ve got two people in a meeting room here; I’ve got two people that are at home.’ That’s a challenge. How do you create culture? How do you unify people? How do you drive cohesion where we are physically distant?”
One of the major issues that has arisen during the past few months of the coronavirus lockdown is a lack of confidence between workers and managers, he says.
“Managers are having a hard time trusting that their employees can be productive from home. You’re babysitting, you’re not managing; you’re checking up on your people, you’re not checking in with them. They are two very different things and then employees are also not trusting that the manager has their back. There’s a lack of trust.”
To combat this feeling, certain tangible efforts can be done to try and replace previous habits and feel more comfortable within the current workplace situation, according to Au.
“Set a 15-minute commute ritual that gets you in the mode for work and then get you outside of the mode for work. What the commute did was it set a transition moment for us where we are now getting into work mode as we commute to work: that was a ritual.”
Continue to replicate previous behaviours, even though many are still working from home, that might create moments of true engagement, says Au.
“What you want to be doing is doing impromptu check-ins to create social interactions equally across the office and remote,” he says.
“One practical way you can do that you have a 30-minute meeting, as an example At the end of that 30-minute meeting, ask somebody to hang back for five or 10 minutes just to catch up on things; it doesn’t have to be only work.”
Business agility is seen as one of the key ways to thrive during the pandemic, according to another expert, while promoting a workplace culture that expects change to happen is also crucial to business survival, says a corporate trainer.
Because most employee feedback tends to be negative, says Au, managers must work to provide positive affirmation as well.
“We need to make an effort to send praise to people. Obviously, it’s easier when they’re [in the office]. You’ve got to use the tools to do praise properly for remote employees.”
And for HR, getting the message about change and its implications is more important than ever, says Au.
“You need to over-communicate: What are the policies about going to going back to work? When are we going back to work? What is changing in terms of the work environment, what’s changing in terms of processes? HR needs to be the hub of communication for this change.”

Signals and Systems by Sanjay Sharma is a must-have book for anyone who wants to learn more about signals and systems in a clear and concise way. It will help you master the subject and prepare you for your exams and future career.
In this article, we will give you a brief overview of some of the important topics covered in Signals and Systems by Sanjay Sharma. These topics are essential for understanding the analysis and design of various systems that involve signals, such as communication, control, and signal processing systems.
What are Signals and Systems
A signal is a function that represents the variation of a physical quantity with respect to time, space, or any other variable. For example, a sound wave is a signal that varies with time and space. A system is a device or a process that performs some operation on a signal. For example, a microphone is a system that converts sound waves into electrical signals.
Signals can be classified into different types based on their characteristics, such as continuous-time or discrete-time, periodic or non-periodic, deterministic or random, etc. Systems can be classified into different types based on their properties, such as linear or nonlinear, time-invariant or time-varying, causal or non-causal, etc.
What are Convolution and Correlation of Signals
Convolution and correlation are two important operations that are used to measure the similarity or the effect of one signal on another. Convolution is a mathematical operation that describes the output of a linear time-invariant system when given an input signal. Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the degree of similarity or dependence between two signals.
The convolution of two signals x(t) and h(t) is denoted by x(t) * h(t) and is defined as:
x(t) * h(t) = â x(Ï) h(t - Ï) dÏ
The correlation of two signals x(t) and y(t) is denoted by Rxy(Ï) and is defined as:
Rxy(Ï) = â x(t) y(t + Ï) dt
Convolution and correlation have many applications in signal processing, such as filtering, modulation, detection, etc.
What are CTFS, DTFS, CTFT, and DTFT
CTFS stands for Continuous-Time Fourier Series, DTFS stands for Discrete-Time Fourier Series, CTFT stands for Continuous-Time Fourier Transform, and DTFT stands for Discrete-Time Fourier Transform. These are four methods of representing signals in terms of their frequency components.
A periodic signal can be represented as a sum of sinusoidal signals with different frequencies, amplitudes, and phases. This representation is called the Fourier series. The coefficients of the Fourier series are called the Fourier coefficients. The CTFS and the DTFS are used to find the Fourier coefficients of continuous-time and discrete-time periodic signals respectively.
A non-periodic signal can be represented as an integral of sinusoidal signals with different frequencies, amplitudes, and phases. This representation is called the Fourier transform. The function that relates the amplitude and phase of each frequency component to the frequency is called the Fourier spectrum. The CTFT and the DTFT are used to find the Fourier spectrum of continuous-time and discrete-time non-periodic signals respectively.
The Fourier series and the Fourier transform have many applications in signal analysis and synthesis, such as filtering, modulation, sampling, etc. aa16f39245

Following David O’Byrne’s efforts to embarrass Dean Winter in Question Time this morning, it appears Jen Butler has had the last laugh by putting on public display the bitter ongoing feud between Labor’s factions.
Jen Butler took to the floor in Parliament this afternoon to openly slam Mr O’Byrne for stripping her of her shadow portfolios proclaiming “I won’t lie, I was very disappointed”.
Despite Ms Butler claiming she had “lots of unfinished business” within her shadow portfolios, she confessed that it was a “decision of the leader” to demote her from the shadow cabinet.
These comments come at the end of a day plagued by internal politicking, with Mr O’Byrne limply offering bipartisan support on COVID after Dean Winter was out playing politics with the pandemic only yesterday.
It’s clear the Tasmanian Labor Party is hopelessly divided, and as Dr Broad said on radio (1), the moderate voices continue to be silenced and stripped of any responsibility.
(1)”I think there’s a growing frustration among them – what I’d call – the moderate voices in the Labor Party.”
“…I believe that there needs to be a rallying cry for the centre of the Labor Party to get active. And stop what is the domination of a hard left factional group of power brokers that I believe have delivered three election losses in a row.”
“…over the last about 10 years, there’s been a winner takes all approach by this group of individuals, where they, over time, have taken over the Labor Party and pushed out moderate voices.”

Sasquatch Award 2019 Part 3
If you missed part 1 and two you can find them here and here.
This is a state children’s choice award for grades 4th-6th grades. Students have to read at least two of the books in order to vote. There is always a wide variety of books for them to choose from. This week’s nominees were the ones that I put off till the end for various reasons. They were all good in their own ways. The covers are linked to their Goodreads page.
Wish by Barbara O’Connor
This was a very sweet story about friendship and family. Charlie is a bit hard to like at times. She is tough and has a bit of a temper, but you come to like her eventually. Her Aunt and Uncle are wonderful and very patient with her, never getting angry with her even when she does hurtful and mean things to others. I loved her relationship with Howard. He has a limp that she calls his up down walk. He is great with her, always patient and happy and outgoing. Howard’s whole family was great. They take to Charlie like she was their long lost sister. I also loved the relationship she develops with the dog, who also helps to save her. The ending was also perfect, although somewhat predictable. I think a lot of kids will be able to relate to Charlie and her issues and will be rooting for her.
Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk
Except for this being a tad too long for my tastes, this was a pretty good historical fiction. The plot was interesting for the most part, and you really got a feel for what it was like living in rural Pennsylvania during WWII. I loved the extended family and how they supported Annabelle. There was a lot of love in that house. Even the aunt, who was often the cause of issues with the family. The family had a good heart and were willing to help others less fortunate as well as the other families in the community. I liked Annabelle’s relationship with Toby, which was the focus of much of the story. Toby is a WWI vet and has his issues, but was always kind and gentle with everyone. The dynamics of everyone believing a girl from a good families story about Toby and Annabelle and her families belief in him was an interesting aspect of the story. And for those of you who like to know these things, it won a Newbery Honor.
A Night Divided by Jennifer Nielsen
I read this when it first came out and I was hoping to find the time to reread it this summer, but just wasn’t able to squeeze it in. I remember really liking it when I first read it. It is historical fiction, which if you are familiar with Nielsen’s work you know it is a departure from her usual work. It was a really good adventure as well as being historical. I’m not sure how much student’s can relate to the Germans and the Berlin Wall, but the adventure will certainly keep them entertained. I really liked Gerta and her determination to bring her family pack together even at the risk of her life. The difficulties she and her brother and friends encounter will keep you on the edge of your seat. A very well done novel by a master storyteller.
Sputnik’s Guide To Life on Earth by Frank Cottrel Boyce
I have always enjoyed this authors books in the past, they are usually fun and quirky. This one is certainly quirky, and maybe just a little too weird to be fun. But I sort of liked it. At the heart of it is finding your place in this world and finding out that home is not necessarily a place. Prez is a likable character as are the other kids in this book. Sputnik is something else. I’m still not entirely sure if he was real or not but maybe something Prez made up to help him sort through his life and what was happening to him. There were some lovely interactions between Prez and Sputnik, and I especially liked some of the physics explained in simpler terms that most kids will get. I think this is a good book but will appeal to only a small portion of children and adults.
This is my last post on the Sasquatch nominees for this school year. We vote in the spring and I will try to remember to post which book wins. This will be a hard year to predict which one, there isn’t one that sticks out as the one that will appeal to most of the kids, although I think Ghost might have a chance. I think my two favorites were Fuzzy and The Evil Wizard Smallbone, but I don’t hold much hope for either of them winning. I hope you enjoyed these mini-reviews.
Which Sasquatch book would you vote for?
Great reviews! I haven’t read any of these so I couldn’t vote for one haha but Sputnik’s Guide To Life on Earth sounds really good!

Under President Obama’s new healthcare laws, many new items are starting to get taxed and Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee questioned whether smartphones, smart-devices and applications would count.
The group of six GOP lawmakers questioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday, asking whether this could be enacted and if it could, what would be under the law and what wouldn’t be.
The group also went onto say that under this new Affordable Care Act law, if smartphones and mobile apps were at risk of being taxed, it could have effects on the growth and innovation in the smartphone market.
With some medical apps getting onto the apps stores, it is clear that a move with technology and medical care could happen, and showing patients easy to digest information on an iPad, for example, could be a way forward.
The FDA got back with a statement announcing that taxes could not be administered to the health care officials for mobiles and medical applications, unless the sole purpose of the device was for medical use.
The lawmakers replied by saying they were concerned with the potential for ‘actual use’ in the future, an example of this occurring could be a doctor using an iPad to show test results.
While the health laws made do contribute a lot of misunderstanding about exactly what counts, no doctor is using a smartphone for a pregnancy or any other procedure. While we can see where the lawmakers are coming with actual use in the future, that is something for the next governments to decide.

Covid replacement at Chichester Jazz Club
As spokesperson Melissa Hauffe explains: “We had intended to have the Scott Hamilton Quartet for our concert on 21 January but unfortunately due to Covid issues they have to cut short their UK tour. and return to Italy, so it will not be available. Fortunately, we were able to retain his wonderful rhythm section and they retained the services of Karen Sharp for the concert.
“A prominent figure on the UK jazz scene, Karen is well known for her melodic and full saxophone playing, winning the British Jazz Awards for best tenor saxophonist numerous times and always being well received by CJC audiences.
Karen Sharp – saxes will line up; John Pearce – piano; Dave Green – bass; and Steve Brown – drums.
Born in Suffolk, Karen studied classical piano and clarinet before discovering jazz and switching to tenor sax, a choice inspired by two improvisational giants – Dexter Gordon and Sonny Rollins. Her career took off when she was asked to join Humphrey Lyttelton’s band with whom she toured the UK and Europe for four years. During this period, Karen also worked hard to create her own quintet, touring festivals and the club circuit.
Admission £15 for guests, £8 for members. Students get a special entry price of £5, but this is reduced to £3 for student members. For customers only, tickets can be purchased in advance at Chichester Visitor Information Centre, The Novium, Tower Street – 01243 775888 or www.novium.org/boxoffice

Get comfortable keyboards
Get comfortable keyboards
Get comfortable keyboards | People with impairments who may require specially modified PC accessories for access technology can use ergonomic keyboards. We look at possibilities for keyboards that are ergonomic for users with impairments. Keyboard designs vary, but the majority of them contain either a split or curved characteristic.
Split ergonomic keyboards allow the user to type at a different angle than a conventional straight keyboard by dividing the keys into two or three portions. Some permit a variety of altitudes and rotations at various angles. The left and right sides of the keyboard are divided into two concave parts, or key wells, by a contoured ergonomic keyboard.
Purchasing a keyboard with big, ergonomic keys
With keys that are around four times the size of typical ones, this is standard. There is no numeric keypad on it. The keycap’s big print characters make it easier to see and less tiring on the eyes, making them suited for users who have vision or dexterity problems.
It may also be appropriate for people who type with their toes. To make it easier for those with cognitive or learning disabilities to identify the keys, some ergonomic keyboards include various colored letter, number, and function keys. The use of color coding in young children’s learning to read might hasten the process of letter recognition.
Most keyboards link to the internet using Bluetooth or USB technology. Make sure your device has built-in Bluetooth capability before you try the Bluetooth approach. If it doesn’t, link the device in addition to grabbing a Bluetooth receiver.
Many keyboards utilize Bluetooth or USB technology for wireless connectivity. Make sure your gadget has built-in Bluetooth compatibility if you choose the Bluetooth route. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to grab a Bluetooth receiver and set the device.
It’s most fascinating to get a keyboard with a minimum of fundamental ergonomic features if you want to type on it for hours on end.
larger keyboards with ergonomics
This is almost twice as big as typical ones. Both the keyboard and mouse functionalities may be controlled by these keyboards. Commonly, keycaps are not elevated like they are on normal keyboards. When purchasing an ergonomic keyboard, keep in mind that some models lack keys but can still be programmed using overlays that can be put over the surface to create unique keyboards for various purposes. People with physical, visual, and cognitive challenges can use this keyboard since the overlays can be easily customized.
For users who have trouble reaching all the keys on a regular keyboard or who can only type in a limited target area, you may also purchase a compact ergonomic keyboard. It may be as thin as the thickness of a sheet of paper, has lighter keys, and a shorter travel distance. Users who have limited range of motion and good manual dexterity will choose a tiny ergonomic keyboard. They are also appropriate for people who have severe hand and arm muscular weakness.

About the speaker:
Sarah holds a BSc in biological sciences and a PhD in plant biochemistry. She’s worked for Unilever for 26 years. In her current role she is scoping and scouting for potential new biobased product ingredients for Unilever products. In the last few years this has extended to include new ingredients and packaging from seaweed.
Unilever is a global fast moving goods company – they make the everyday branded products you find on your supermarket shelves such as Dove, Cif, Domestos, Walls, Magnum, Knorr, Hellman’s to name just a few of their well known brands. Unilever’s purpose is to make sustainable living commonplace, which is backed by an ambitious set of sustainability targets.
To reach green house gas reduction targets, they need to exit from fossil carbon-derived chemicals and materials that they use to make consumer products and including the everyday goods you buy from supermarkets and shops around the world. But there simply isn’t enough sustainable terrestrial biomass available to fill the gap left by fossil carbon. The growing seaweed industry hails the opportunity of a new sustainable biomass that can contribute to displacing fossil carbon but also makes available a new chemistry palette which can lead to ingredients with new functionalities and properties for their products.

I can be a jerk. I occasionally lose my temper. Sometimes I overreact to minor misdeeds. I have a school teacher’s expectation of being listened to. I sometimes see that look in my kids’ eyes when I’m on a bit of a tear, avoiding eye contact and hoping it will blow over fast, and I am embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I can envision that look snowballing into the emotional distance and alienation that characterize the relationships that many of my teenage students have with their fathers.
During the lesson, all of this crystalized for me in a way that was really useful for me as a man attempting to be a Christlike father. In that moment I resolved to do better and to set aside some time to reflect on what I can do to create a consistently positive emotional and spiritual climate in my home.And this is very powerful
in my personal struggle with sin and my tiny steps in coming closer to God, I would appreciate more introspection and self-examination. The gospel has the power to save us from the influence of the world, but it also has the power to save us from our sins if we are willing to see them.

UT Southwestern Medical Center surgeons have removed a gallbladder through a unique operation requiring only a single incision in the bellybutton rather than the traditional four incisions in the abdomen. It is the first such operation in North Texas.
"It went better than we expected," said Dr. Homero Rivas, assistant professor of surgery, who completed the 80-minute procedure with Dr. J. Esteban Varela, assistant professor of surgery. "Through a single hole, we were able to introduce more than one instrument into the patient's abdomen at once, and we were able to remove her gallbladder very safely, just like we do routinely through four incisions."
Melanie Willhite, a 28-year-old professional golfer, said she had suffered for more than a decade with gallbladder attacks that caused recurring abdominal pain, sometimes so intense she could not stand.
"I wasn't eating. I had lost about 12 pounds in the past two months. It came on when I was under stress, so I got attacks after almost every tournament round," said Ms. Willhite, a Farmers Branch resident who has been on the professional circuit for five years.
She said she opted for the single-incision cholecystectomy in January to reduce scarring afterwards and have less down time.
"There were a lot of advantages to doing it through one hole, including less scarring and the possibility for quicker healing," she said. "I'm young. I also wanted to get back on the golf course as soon as possible. The season technically starts in March. I was a little worried, but not too concerned. I trust Dr. Rivas."
A day after the surgery she was already feeling better and the next day she was eating spaghetti, a meal previously off-limits due to the gallbladder problems. Within a week, she was back on the course putting and two weeks out was able to go through the full range of golf swings.
"I've been really pleased," she said. "I'm looking forward to the start of the season."
Surgeons inserted specialized tools developed for single-incision surgery through a 1/2-inch incision in the bellybutton. The tools included a flexible camera and an instrument to cut and suture. Minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures such as this usually require four small incisions for separate insertion of the instrumentation.
"It is certainly more difficult than a regular operation because there's a learning curve for the instrumentation and the camera," said Dr. Varela. "But gallbladder removal is one of the most common operations for general surgeons, so this would be a breakthrough if we could standardize a technique like this."
Patients are generally attracted by the aesthetic appeal of having fewer post-operative scars. Doctors say the fewer incisions can also mean faster recovery times, less risk for infection, less risk for bleeding, less pain and potentially the opportunity to eventually reduce costs due to less instrumentation being needed.
Eventually, the technique could be used for other common gastrointestinal surgeries, such as appendectomies, some colon resections, weight-loss surgeries and gastrectomies, in which part of the stomach is removed.
Surgeons at UT Southwestern's Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery, under director Dr. Daniel Scott, associate professor of surgery in the division of GI/endocrine surgery, have pioneered new techniques for single-incision surgery. Dr. Jeffrey Cadeddu, associate professor of urology, performed the nation's first single-incision surgery to remove a kidney.
UT Southwestern surgeons are part of a national group evaluating the feasibility and safety of single-incision surgeries and have a joint academic venture with surgeons in Shanghai, China, to develop the techniques.
"There's a worldwide trend to use less and less invasive techniques," said Dr. Rivas. "One of the goals we have is to recruit more patients who could benefit from this."
Dr. Rivas recently performed the first reported single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy in Durango, Mexico. He has a visiting faculty appointment at the Hospital de la Paz, in Durango, where he frequently teaches other surgeons advanced techniques in minimal-access surgery. Dr. Rivas has also successfully performed another single-incision cholecystectomy and a single-incision appendectomy. Dr. Varela has since performed a single-incision laparoscopic colectomy.

Victoria & Abdul unveiled new facets of Queen to world: Author Shrabani Basu
Basu said that before beginning her research, she did not know that Victoria learnt Urdu for 13 years or how attached she was to India.books Updated: Dec 11, 2017 09:47 IST
Shrabani Basu, the author of Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant, which was later transformed into the 2017 Hollywood film titled Victoria & Abdul, said she feels both her book and the film helped unveil new facets of Queen Victoria’s character to people all over the world. “I think the book and now the film unveils new traits of the Queen of England to all of us that remained unexplored before. A lot of people have come to me in England and said they had no idea that Queen Victoria had a formal lesson in Urdu.”
“I did not know that Victoria learnt Urdu for 13 years or how attached she was to India. Her character was developing for me as I researched,” Basu said during a presentation and discussion on Saturday at the Oxford Bookstore here, on her journey to write the story. “For us, growing up in India, Queen Victoria is this formidable character dressed in black with fierce expressions and her famous line being ‘We are not amused’. But as I went through her letters and other notes, I realised there was so much more to her character that just being the dreaded Queen of England,” she said.
Basu said she first became curious about Abdul Karim, a person who was sent from India’s Agra to England to serve Queen Victoria in 1887, after she saw one of his portraits in Osborne House, a former private home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on the UK’s Isle of Wight. “He was painted as a noble man with red and gold turban on his head and book in his hand. The moment I saw the picture I thought he wasn’t just an Indian servant to the queen. He looked a lot more than that,” she pointed out. The author noted that Abdul, who was sent as a gift to the Queen by one of the British jailors in India, was instantly liked by the Queen and was later appointed by her as her Urdu teacher or ‘Munshi’, while the Queen taught him English.
“At the beginning of Victoria’s Hindustani journals, her Urdu was bad while Abdul’s English had no grammar. However, by the end of the thirteenth year, his English became flawless and her Urdu improved a great deal. So in a way they taught each other well,” she noted. The author, who went through four years of research in England, India and Pakistan before writing the book, said the accomplishment was immensely satisfying as it was a subject never touched before.
Hailing the 2017 film by Stephen Frears, starring Academy Award winner Judi Dench and Bollywood actor Ali Fazal in the two lead roles, the author said she found her association with the film as a consultant every bit as fascinating. “I worked as a consultant to the film. So I was very much involved. For the film, I had to research on the Agra jail and how the inmates stayed there, which I had not done previously for the book. We also discussed costumes of the characters. I remember spending days looking for a ‘large nose ring’ worn by the Munshi’s wife as described by Queen Victoria in one of her letters.”
Basu also had a role in choosing the production house that made the film out of the book. “I liked his work from before because he is someone who frequently writes about working class people. So I thought he would be a great choice to write the character of Abdul for the film,” she added.

Systematic Automation manufactures high precision vacuum tables (+/-.001″ flatness per linear foot) for thin materials. Two types of vacuum pumps are offered depending on your machining operation. Both pump types are available with separate coolant separators. High flow (rotary vane) vacuum pumps in conjunction with the vacuum table allow some vacuum leakage without losing significant vacuum force. Rotary vane pumps pull less vacuum force than diaphragm type vacuum pumps which are high vacuum force but low vacuum flow pumps. Even a small leak will greatly reduce vacuum holding power when using a diaphragm pump. However, the holding power of the vacuum table when using the diaphragm pump is maximized providing there is a proper seal between the vacuum table and the workpiece.
Sacrificial sub plates with corresponding vacuum holes are available if you are machining through your workpiece. Our engineering department will assist you in selecting the optimum size vacuum table and pump type and size. Our vacuum tables are available with vacuum port connections from any side of the table or at any location from the bottom of the table.

NEW YORK — — It was only fitting that the last meeting between Georgetown and Syracuse, the foundation of the Big East Conference that has crumbled, went into overtime.
No. 19 Syracuse (26-8) prevailed in the tournament semifinal with a 58-55 over No. 5 Georgetown Friday night before a frenzied, sold out Madison Square Garden crowd.
Syracuse's Brandon Triche scored three points in the extra session, including a free throw that put the Orange up 58-55 with 18 seconds left.
The top-seeded Hoyas were looking to tie the game, but Otto Porter Jr.'s pass from the corner was picked off by C.J. Fair with 3.2 left. Fair was fouled, but missed both shots.
Jabril Trawick's heave for the Hoyas just beyond half court to tie it bounced off the backboard as time expired.
Triche's layup in traffic 10 seconds into the overtime gave Syracuse a 53-51 lead it never lost. Baye Keita's follow with 2:47 provided the Orange, seeded sixth in the tournament, a 55-51 advantage with 2:47 left.
Mikael Hopkins scored on a drive to draw the Hoyas to within two at 55-53 with 2:28 left, Fair's dunk moved the Syracuse cushion to 57-53 with 1:58 left.
Keita topped Syracuse with 13 points. Hopkins led the Hoyas with 15 points and eight rebounds.
Porter sent the game into overtime when he sank both ends of a one-and-one with 7.3 seconds left. Michael Carter-Williams 15 foot jumper went off the side rim for Syracuse as time expired.
Keita gave the Orange a 51-49 lead when he sank two free throws with 1:23 left to play.
The Hoyas trailed by as many as seven points in the second half, but methodically climbed back until finally tying the game at 49-49 on two free throws from Trawick at the 1:47 mark.
Georgetown's next possession came up empty due to a shot clock violation.
Syracuse, a charter Big East member, is headed to the ACC next season, while Georgetown will remain in a modified version of the conference.
The semifinal was the 14th Big East Tournament meeting between the two schools. The only other Big East series with more tournament games is Syracuse vs. Connecticut with 15.
Syracuse erased a 17-14 Georgetown lead by going on a 15-3 run to grab a 29-20 halftime lead. The run started with 8:05 left and featured little-used Trevor Cooney.
Trevor was a surprise," Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said. "Nobody saw this coming. He was the best player in the first half for either team."
The sophomore swingman provided the spark off the bench, draining two 3-pointers and a layup in the burst. Cooney came in because Triche picked up two fouls with 13:58 still left in the half.
The Hoyas sank just eight of their 26 shots from the field in the first half. Both teams wound up shooting worse than 38 percent for the game.
"This was just a great win," Boeheim said. "We didn't shoot that well. We didn't score that many, but we scored just enough."
Notes: Georgetown has won seven Big East Tournament titles, Syracuse has claimed five. … Syracuse's James Southerland has knocked down 12 of his 15 3-pointers in the two tournament games heading into Friday's semifinals. … Sitting behind the Syracuse bench were former Orange players, Derrick Coleman, Pearl Washington, Sherman Douglas and Billy Owens. … In the first two tournament games, Syracuse point guard Carter-Williams dished out 21 assists. … Heading into Friday's semifinal, Syracuse held a 48-41 advantage in the series.
Louisville 69, Notre Dame 57: Peyton Siva finished with 12 points, six assists and tied a career high with seven steals as the Cardinals defeated the Fighting Irish in the semifinals of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden.
Russ Smith led all scorers with 20 points and Gorgui Dieng added 12 rebounds for reigning tournament champion Louisville (28-5), which will face Syracuse in the championship game on Saturday — its third straight appearance in the title game and fourth over the last five seasons.
Jerian Grant and All-Big East forward Jack Cooley paced Notre Dame (25-9) with 14 points apiece. The Irish have dropped each of their last four semifinal games at this event, including the last three to Louisville.
The Cardinals never trailed in this contest, but did not pull away from the Irish until Smith drained a three-pointer and Siva stole the ball on the next possession and scored on a layup to give Louisville a 50-41 lead with six minutes remaining.
Pat Connaughton followed with a three-pointer to cut the Irish's deficit to six, but Smith countered with a layup off one of the Cardinals' 11 steals and Luke Hancock hit another three-pointer with 4:10 left to establish a 55-44 advantage. Notre Dame could inch no closer than seven points after that.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Siva broke Darrell Griffith's school record for career steals and matched a Big East tournament record — held by 10 others — for steals in a game. … Connaughton shot 3-for-6 beyond the arc Friday and went 15-for-24 in three games in the tournament. … The Cardinals are on a nine-game winning streak, eight of which have been by double figures.


A popular blog post being shared on Facebook falsely claims that former President Jimmy Carter has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president. The post was lifted — almost verbatim — from an old story about Carter’s support for Sanders’ 2016 bid.
Beto O’Rourke’s endorsement of Joe Biden has been used as fuel for misinformation about the former vice president’s gun control policy. If elected president, Biden did not say he is “coming for your guns.”
An ad misleads when it claims that Sen. Bernie Sanders “helped turn neighborhoods like ours into a toxic waste dumping ground.” Sanders did support a bill that could have resulted in nuclear waste being placed near a poor, minority town in Texas, but the state ultimately rejected that location.
A viral meme falsely claims Sen. Bernie Sanders “supported” Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis and “accused” the hostages of “being CIA spies.” Sanders was affiliated with a political party that criticized U.S. policy on Iran, but there’s no evidence he expressed those beliefs.
A viral post claims, falsely, that Sen. Bernie Sanders at a recent debate called for a tax rate of 52% on incomes of $29,000 or more to pay for his Medicare for All plan. He didn’t. That figure was floated as a potential marginal tax rate for income above $10 million.
In an early morning tweet, President Donald Trump falsely attributed a quote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The quote was actually a Fox News reporter’s characterization of Pelosi’s words. Trump then distorted what she actually said.
Facebook users expressed outrage over a statement that is falsely attributed to Sen. Kamala Harris. The quote — about seeking “vengeance” against supporters of President Donald Trump — originated on a website that calls its work satire.

Gravity Rush 2 was one of the most promising games of 2016 and the only one I was genuinely sad to see pushed into the early months of 2017. While we continue to get pounded by Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Watch Dogs, Gravity Rush promised action of a different type: High flying, heavy hitting, and overly Japanese.
Our date with protagonist Kat might have taken a rain check, but these screenshots will hopefully hold us all over until that magical day arrives.
Gravity Rush 2 is the sequel we deserve, and the one we need right now!
It’s still maddening among PS Vita owners that the game isn’t coming to their handheld console, but I think the trade-off will be worth it. Not only will the PlayStation 4 make this game the best it can possibly be, the console finally has some other quality Japanese titles to help back it up.
Yup, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil now all have a home on the PlayStation 4, and Gravity Rush will find itself in good company among legends when it launches on Jan. 20. If it is able to stand out in that crowd, it has a chance to solidify its cult status and become something even more long-lasting.
Gravity Rush 2 launches for the PlayStation 4 on Jan. 20.

null (Ed.)Background The COVID-19 pandemic has caused several disruptions in personal and collective lives worldwide. The uncertainties surrounding the pandemic have also led to multifaceted mental health concerns, which can be exacerbated with precautionary measures such as social distancing and self-quarantining, as well as societal impacts such as economic downturn and job loss. Despite noting this as a “mental health tsunami”, the psychological effects of the COVID-19 crisis remain unexplored at scale. Consequently, public health stakeholders are currently limited in identifying ways to provide timely and tailored support during these circumstances. Objective Our study aims to provide insights regarding people’s psychosocial concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging social media data. We aim to study the temporal and linguistic changes in symptomatic mental health and support expressions in the pandemic context. Methods We obtained about 60 million Twitter streaming posts originating from the United States from March 24 to May 24, 2020, and compared these with about 40 million posts from a comparable period in 2019 to attribute the effect of COVID-19 on people’s social media self-disclosure. Using these data sets, we studied people’s self-disclosure on social media in terms of symptomatic mental health concerns and expressions of support. We employed transfer learning classifiers that identified the social media language indicative of mental health outcomes (anxiety, depression, stress, and suicidal ideation) and support (emotional and informational support). We then examined the changes in psychosocial expressions over time and language, comparing the 2020 and 2019 data sets. Results We found that all of the examined psychosocial expressions have significantly increased during the COVID-19 crisis—mental health symptomatic expressions have increased by about 14%, and support expressions have increased by about 5%, both thematically related to COVID-19. We also observed a steady decline and eventual plateauing in these expressions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have been due to habituation or due to supportive policy measures enacted during this period. Our language analyses highlighted that people express concerns that are specific to and contextually related to the COVID-19 crisis. Conclusions We studied the psychosocial effects of the COVID-19 crisis by using social media data from 2020, finding that people’s mental health symptomatic and support expressions significantly increased during the COVID-19 period as compared to similar data from 2019. However, this effect gradually lessened over time, suggesting that people adapted to the circumstances and their “new normal.” Our linguistic analyses revealed that people expressed mental health concerns regarding personal and professional challenges, health care and precautionary measures, and pandemic-related awareness. This study shows the potential to provide insights to mental health care and stakeholders and policy makers in planning and implementing measures to mitigate mental health risks amid the health crisis.more » « less
Throughout history, urban agriculture practitioners have adapted to various challenges by continuing to provide food and social benefits. Urban gardens and farms have also responded to sudden political, economic, ecological, and social crises: wartime food shortages; urban disinvestment and property abandonment; earthquakes and floods; climate-change induced weather events; and global economic disruptions. This paper examines the effects on, and responses by, urban farms and gardens to the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper is based on data collected in the summer of 2020 at the onset of the pandemic when cities were struggling with appropriate responses to curb its spread. It builds on an international research project (FEW-meter) that developed a methodology to measure material and social benefits of urban agriculture (UA) in five countries (France, Germany, Poland, UK and USA) over two growing seasons, from a Food-Energy-Water nexus perspective. We surveyed project partners to ascertain the effects of COVID-19 on those gardens and farms and we interviewed policy stakeholders in each country to investigate the wider impacts of the pandemic on UA. We report the results with respect to five key areas: (1) garden accessibility and service provision during the pandemic; (2) adjustments to operational arrangements; (3) effects on production; (4) support for urban farms and gardens through the pandemic; and (5) thoughts about the future of urban agriculture in the recovery period and beyond. The paper shows that the pandemic resulted in multiple challenges to gardens and farms including the loss of ability to provide support services, lost income, and reductions in output because of reduced labor supply. But COVID-19 also created several opportunities: new markets to sell food locally; more time available to gardeners to work in their allotments; and increased community cohesion as neighboring gardeners looked out for one another. By illustrating the range of challenges faced by the pandemic, and strategies to address challenges used by different farms and gardens, the paper illustrates how gardens in this pandemic have adapted to become more resilient and suggests lessons for pandemic recovery and longer-term planning to enable UA to respond to future public health and other crises.more » « less
Despite considerable social scientific attention to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on urbanized areas, very little research has examined its impact on rural populations. Yet rural communities—which make up tens of millions of people from diverse backgrounds in the United States—are among the nation’s most vulnerable populations and may be less resilient to the effects of such a large-scale exogenous shock. We address this critical knowledge gap with data from a new survey designed to assess the impacts of the pandemic on health-related and economic dimensions of rural well-being in the North American West. Notably, we find that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural populations have been severe, with significant negative impacts on unemployment, overall life satisfaction, mental health, and economic outlook. Further, we find that these impacts have been generally consistent across age, ethnicity, education, and sex. We discuss how these findings constitute the beginning of a much larger interdisciplinary COVID-19 research effort that integrates rural areas and pushes beyond the predominant focus on cities and nation-states.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in heightened levels of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues due to sudden changes in daily life, such as economic stress, social isolation, and educational irregularity. Accurately assessing emotional and behavioral changes in response to the pandemic can be challenging, but it is essential to understand the evolving emotions, themes, and discussions surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on mental health.
This study aims to understand the evolving emotions and themes associated with the impact of COVID-19 on mental health support groups (eg, r/Depression and r/Anxiety) on Reddit (Reddit Inc) during the initial phase and after the peak of the pandemic using natural language processing techniques and statistical methods.
This study used data from the r/Depression and r/Anxiety Reddit communities, which consisted of posts contributed by 351,409 distinct users over a period spanning from 2019 to 2022. Topic modeling and Word2Vec embedding models were used to identify key terms associated with the targeted themes within the data set. A range of trend and thematic analysis techniques, including time-to-event analysis, heat map analysis, factor analysis, regression analysis, and k-means clustering analysis, were used to analyze the data.
The time-to-event analysis revealed that the first 28 days following a major event could be considered a critical window for mental health concerns to become more prominent. The theme trend analysis revealed key themes such as economic stress, social stress, suicide, and substance use, with varying trends and impacts in each community. The factor analysis highlighted pandemic-related stress, economic concerns, and social factors as primary themes during the analyzed period. Regression analysis showed that economic stress consistently demonstrated the strongest association with the suicide theme, whereas the substance theme had a notable association in both data sets. Finally, the k-means clustering analysis showed that in r/Depression, the number of posts related to the “depression, anxiety, and medication” cluster decreased after 2020, whereas the “social relationships and friendship” cluster showed a steady decrease. In r/Anxiety, the “general anxiety and feelings of unease” cluster peaked in April 2020 and remained high, whereas the “physical symptoms of anxiety” cluster showed a slight increase.
This study sheds light on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and the related themes discussed in 2 web-based communities during the pandemic. The results offer valuable insights for developing targeted interventions and policies to support individuals and communities in similar crises.
The health impacts of climate change are substantial and represent a primary motivating factor to mitigate climate change. However, the health impacts in economic models that estimate the social cost of carbon dioxide (SC‐CO2) have generally been made in isolation from health experts and have never been rigorously evaluated. Version 3.10 of the Framework for Uncertainty, Negotiation and Distribution (FUND) model was used to estimate the health‐based portion of current SC‐CO2estimates across low‐, middle‐, and high‐income regions. In addition to the base model, three additional experiments assessed the sensitivity of these estimates to changes in the socio‐economic assumptions in the model. Economic impacts from adverse health outcomes represent ∼8.7% of current SC‐CO2estimates. The majority of these health impacts (74%) were attributable to diarrhea mortality (from both low‐ and high‐income regions) followed by diarrhea morbidity (12%) and malaria mortality (11%); no other health impact makes a meaningful contribution to SC‐CO2estimates in current economic models. The results of the socio‐economic experiments show that the health‐based portion of SC‐CO2estimates are highly sensitive to assumptions regarding income elasticity of health effects, income growth, and use of equity weights. Improving the health‐based portion of SC‐CO2estimates could have substantial impacts on magnitude of the SC‐CO2. Incorporating additional health impacts not previously included in estimates of SC‐CO2will be a critical component of model updates. This effort will be most successful through coordination between economists and health researchers and should focus on updating the form and function of concentration‐response functions.

Current state of bilateral relations between South Africa and Rwanda after Rwanda sought and assassinated its opponents in South Africa and, proactive action by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation that Rwanda does not use South Africa as a killing ground of its opponents
FOR WRITTEN REPLY
QUESTION NO: 629 (NW742E)
PUBLISHED IN INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO. 8-2016 OF 11 MARCH 2016.
Ms H O Hlope (EFF) to ask the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation:
1. What (a) is the current state of bilateral relations with Rwanda after Rwanda brazenly sought and assassinated Rwanda’s opponents in South Africa and,
2. (b) has her department done to ensure that Rwanda does not use South Africa as a killing ground of its opponents?
1. South Africa and Rwanda enjoy good political, economic and social co-operation, as evidenced by the existence of over 20 bilateral Agreements and Memoranda of Understanding.
2. It will be recalled that, following the third assassination attempt on a Rwandan refugee in March 2014, the Department of International Relations and Co-operation declared four diplomats serving at the Rwandan High Commission to be persona non grata. The South African government through its security agencies is still following up on the matter as we view of this in a serious light.


Forced browsing is a technique used by attackers to gain access to resources that are not referenced, but are nevertheless accessible.
One technique is to manipulate the URL in the browser by deleting sections from the end until an unprotected directory is found. A related technique is to use a scanning tool like w3bfukk0r or nikto to request common directories until a hidden file or directory is found.
Another technique is to use manual penetration testing to attempt access to resources that are not referenced in the application. For example, an attacker might use WebScarab to change request parameters that specify the target resource.

-band versus -band surface brightness fluctuations as distance indicators

We evaluate the method of optical and infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) as a distance indicator and its application on 8-m class telescopes, such as the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The novelty of our approach resides in the development of Monte Carlo simulations of SBF observations incorporating realistic elliptical galaxy stellar population models, the effects induced by globular clusters and background galaxies, instrumental noise, sky background and PSF blurring. We discuss, for each band and in different observational conditions, the errors on distance measurements arising from stellar population effects, data treatment and observational constraints. With 8-m class telescopes, one can extend I-band SBF measurements out to 6000-10 000 km s-1. Integration times in the K-band are too expensive from the ground, due to the high infrared background for large-scale distance determination projects. Nevertheless ground-based K-band measurements are necessary to understand stellar population effects on the SBF calibration, and to prepare future space-based observations, where this band is more efficient.
Key words: cosmology: observation / distance scale / large / scale structure of Universe

Catalytic C3H6 Oxidation Triggered by Plasma
Y. -H. Song, W. S. Kang, D. H. Lee, and J. O. Lee
Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials, Korea
Abstract- Oxidation of C3H6 at low temperature has been investigated using a combined plasma-catalyst process. The plasma-catalyst reactor consisted of a honeycomb-structured monolith substrate, which was the same as the one adopted in the automobile industry, and a couple of wire-mesh metal electrodes. When high-voltage AC power was applied to the plasma-catalyst reactor, a stable plasma was generated in the gap between the electrode and the substrate. The geometrical configuration of the present plasma-catalyst reactor was categorized as a post-plasma catalyst reactor in which gases are oxidized in two separate processes; plasma oxidation occurs first, following which the emitted gases from the plasma reactor are treated in the catalyst reactor. Tests for C3H6 oxidation were conducted for temperatures that ranged from room temperature to 200ºC. When the operating temperature was lower than the light-off temperature of the catalyst, total hydrocarbon (THC) concentration dropped abruptly immediately following the plasma triggering. This reduced THC quickly recovered as soon as the plasma process was terminated. On the other hand, when the temperature was higher than the light-off temperature, the temporal variations of THC were relatively slower due to adsorption and desorption processes. Additional tests showed that the desorption process triggered by plasma competed with the oxidation process, which could even result in an increase of THC emission under certain operating conditions.
Keywords-Non-thermal plasma, honeycomb-structured catalyst, temporal evolution
