Taking The Night Off, Pestilence, And Other Adventures In Parenting
Night before last, I took the night off. It's a form of therapy for me, just taking care of myself for a few hours. The way it works is, I'll take off on a random weekday night after making dinner and tossing it at the fam. The Daddy is home from work at that point, and takes over the parenting. Then, I drive to town (I know, I know. My inner hick is showing) and spend the night in a hotel. And, I come home VERY early in the morning around the time the older kids are getting ready for school. So what if it's only 12 hours? It's 12 hours just. for. me.!! And it doesn't happen often, maybe 2 or 3 times a year. But, I LOVE it!
This time, it was especially nice because I had a sick #3 that had come home from school that morning with the flu (we thought), and there were excessive amounts of bickering going on as I exited my home, overnight bag in hand. There may or may not have been little thoughts of "See ya, sucker!" directed at the Daddy, but I will neither confirm nor deny on that point. That was at 6pm on Monday.
Fast forward to 7am Tuesday. I am home. I am pleasant. I am rested and ready to conquer the world. Okay, fine. I'm home and I'm awake, but that's about it. As soon as I pull up to the house, the Daddy is in the open front doorway, motioning for me to hurry my jiggly posterior up to the house. Again: it's morning. I'm awake, but that's about it. And I am not amused with the increasingly urgent "MOVE YOUR JIGGLY POSTERIOR" motions coming from the Daddy in the doorway, prior to my first cup of coffee, and following an hour long drive back home. I swear to you, if it had been because he couldn't find the coffee filters or socks for #5, there would have been blood spatter and prison time involved.
We'll skip a few details and move on. I get in the house, where various members of my family are scattered about, vaguely resembling a crime scene, with #3 playing the part of the criminal that everyone is surrounding. I cannot stress enough that this is prior to the first coffee of the day. Keep this in mind. I'm not real quick in the morning.
The Daddy says, "Look at your son!"
And I say (rather intelligently, I might add), "I'm looking at him. What?!"
and the Daddy says, "Caryn. Look. At. Your. Son!!!"
And I say, somewhat testily, "I AM LOOKING AT.... oh, holy crap. Um. Yeah. Got it."
Overnight, #3 broke out in the most bizarre, scary looking rash I have ever seen. It's what comes to mind when reading about pestilence in the bible. At this point, suddenly it was time for everyone to go to school, and I swear I could hear "See ya, sucker!" coming from the Daddy's brain.
We'll fast forward again through the boring parts, and now we're at our local clinic. The PA comes in the room, and without batting an eyelash says, "I know what you have. Scarlet Fever. It's going around." And then he proceeds to culture #3's throat while I have heart palpitations and pick myself up off the floor. Medical people should really think about what their words do to mothers. The problem is, the culture comes back negative. And his white blood count does not indicate scarlet fever. Although he DOES have a fever of 102. So, the PA trots back to his office to do some research. And comes back quite a while later with a very humongous book of pediatrics. And he looks at #3, and flips a few pages. And looks at #3 and flips a few pages. And says, "I got nothin'. I don't know what you have. I'm sending you to town to doctor #2. And also, could you have doctor #2 call me and tell me what his diagnosis is, 'cuz I really wanna know!" This is actually fine, because doctor #2 is our pediatrician, and is buckets of uber awesomeness.
The Daddy got the pleasure of taking #3 to the pediatrician, and I played the part of the Guilt Queen at home. "THIS is what happens when I leave my family. There is PESTILENCE! I KNEW I should have stayed home like a good Momma and taken care of him. But I didn't. And NOW he has PESTILENCE!"
Hours and hours and HOURS later, the Daddy comes home with #3 and says, "Well, doctor #2 says this is just like what he's been seeing in his office all week, only it's different. But it's a virus. And it has to run it's course..unless #3's eyes start oozing goop. And then it's not a virus anymore and that's bad. Also, it's contagious. And he can't go to school for the rest of the week. Oh, and doctor #2 doesn't know what it is either, but he's seen it a lot. But this one is different."
This, people, is why the Daddy should never, ever be allowed to take a monster to the doctor. So I said, "Does the pestilence #3 has, have a name?" and the Daddy said, "Yep! It's a virus! Just like *I* said it was!" and I asked, "Did you get a doctors' note for school?" and the Daddy said, "Nope. You didn't tell me to." and I said, "Um. So, it's contagious, and we have a Logan with the immunity of a flea.... shouldn't I be banishing #3 to his room until his fever breaks?" and the Daddy, may he rest in peace, said "Nope. It will make Logan stronger if he has to deal with viruses."
So, here I am, at 4:50 am Wednesday, telling you all about our adventures, and at the same time explaining why there has been no silliness on the blog this week. Also, my cell phone died mid adventure, so today I need to reassure my parents and #3's school administrators that apparently, while the pestilence is scary and contagious, as long as there is no eye goop, #3 will be back in school next week, no worse for wear. Or something like that. Maybe I should just call the pediatrician in a few hours and get the whole story from HIM....
No Daddies were harmed in the making of this blog post. But they SHOULD have been.

The Internet of Spin. 6LoWPAN might soon be used in billions and billions of things. Couldn't it have a better name?
Bluetooth, a name so odd it sticks.
Wi-Fi, it's a clever play on HiFi.
ZigBee, a bee dance. So cute, how can you resist?
There's 3G. And 4G:
Generic names indicating fast mobility.
And then there's 6LoWPAN. Huh?
It's one of the biggest general trends. The internet of things. Smart objects. The connected home. M2M. Call it whatever. Just don't all it 6LoWPAN. (Meaning IPv6 over Low Power Personal Area Network.)
Yup, all things are getting connected. Locks and lights. Meters and motors. TVs and thermostats. And how will they connect? Well, the battle is on. It's easy enough to count more than a dozen competing technologies. The market will be so big, that there will certainly be room for several of them. But one will take the lead, and I'm leaning towards 6LoWPAN. Maybe.
6LoWPAN is an IETF spec defining how IPv6 packets are to be sent on top of IEEE 802.15.4. It has the potential to be one of the most implemented technologies in history. The spec has its support groups such as IPSO Alliance, and also ETSI. There are huge companies with amazing clout behind 6LoWPAN. Google. IBM. Oracle.
It has so much going for it. But it's name isn't one of them.
To the best of my knowledge, 6LoWPAN doesn't have a better brand name for itself, although there are companies that have their flavors of 6LoWPAN with their own titles. If I'm missing something here, I'd love to know about it. But I think that 6LoWPAN is suffering from an identity crisis. And potentially fragmentation.
(I sort of suspect that someone will correct me on this. And that's one of the goals of this blog entry.)
Does 6LoWPAN need a hero to give the spec unity and identity? Yes it does:
Harald Blåtand, King of Denmark.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Psalm 90:1-2
* * * * *
My God is Self Existent!
* * * * *
He has no beginning.
No starting point.
He did not evolve
He has no source of origin.
He simply is.
* * * * *
The easiest way to explain this attribute of our God is to create two columns.
On the top of the first one, title it “Self Existent,” and on the second, the title would be, “Created”.
The fact is, God alone would be in the first column, no one else.
When He introduced Himself to Moses at the burning bush,
He said,
“I am who I am.”
Exodus 3:14
Almost all of us can trace our origins back several generations,
identifying of course our parents, our grandparents and
some can name-names way-way back in their family genealogy.
But not the one who calls Himself,
“I am that I am,”
for He did not descend from anybody or anything,
because He has no origin.
Also, our Self Existent God is not limited by time nor by motion,
neither is He confined by matter nor space.
We simply cannot completely define Him
by our limited understanding and intellect,
but He has graciously revealed Himself to us
through His creation,
through His Word and
through His Son.
So yes, our God alone would be in the first column, no one else.
And all else would be in the second column, Created.”
This includes:
Archangels like Michael and Gabriel, even Lucifer the fallen angel.
The heavens and the earth, and hell,
mosquitoes and ants,
you and me.
We’ve all been created!
We are all our God’s handiwork!
It says as much in Colossians 1:16:
For by him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
This is our God who sits upon the throne in heaven,
the God who is Self Existent, independent,
the source of all life and light,
the God of the Bible.
As the planets revolve around the sun,
we were created to have God as the center of our existence.
A. W. Tozer in his book “Knowledge of the Holy” asks the question,
“What possible meaning can the Self-Existence of God have for me and
He answers his own question saying:
…we are the handiwork of God,
it follows that all our problems and their solutions are theological.
Today, we live in a culture where a high value is placed in the understanding of “self.”
Supposedly, the more you know yourself, the more you are able to cope with life.
Tozer suggests, (and I agree)
That the more you know and understand God, the one who created you,
the more you will live the full life He has planned for you.
Tozer goes on to say:
My God is,
“I am who I am.”
* * * * *
You know what, Satan wanted to be placed within column one also.
In Isaiah 14 it says”
“I will ascend into heaven,
I will be like the Most High.”
Satan wanted to sit upon his own throne.
The great Satan, in his world, wanted all to revolve around him!
He thought he had no need for God!
He chose to get his needs met in his own way,
choosing not to turn and serve his living loving God,
the one true God, the Self Existent God to whom one day every knee will bow.
The Holy Spirit does not want us to commit the same sin that Satan committed.
Let me explain.
As Tozer says:
In every Christian’s heart
there is a cross and a throne,
if he refuses the cross he remains on the throne.
Therefore, like Satan, in the past
we too have turned to our own sources to meet all our needs
yet, like Satan, we are just created beings.
* * * * *
Now right here let me highlight the two main sins in life,
the sins of sins.
The bottom line is that they both keep ourselves on the throne
within our hearts.
What are they?
Pride and Unbelief.
And what do they both produce?
Independence from God (rebellion).
These are the core sins in each of our lives.
But the fact is independence from God only brings death.
* * * * *
And here’s our conflict.
It is me -—you the created versus the Self Existent One.
Now a question for you?
Have you truly surrendered the throne within your heart to Him and put yourself on the cross?
Does “I am who I am” the Self Existent One sit upon the throne of your heart
or does the independent self still sit there, avoiding the cross?
This is the question that must be answered.
For me, my God is my source of all my light and life.
He is my Self-Existent God.

Dinner from scratch, anyone?
Have you ever had a day when your coworkers didn't nap and there's too much whining going on and all you wanna do is hide in the corner office with a box of donuts and a Cherry Coke? I say coworkers because, well, I want everyone to feel included in today's post. Really, I'm talking about my children, my lovely precocious children, but I think "coworker" or "boss" or "employee" could be an appropriate substitute for "child". You know what I mean, even if you don't want to admit it. Don't worry, your boss isn't here to read your thoughts. I won't tell him/her before your next review unless you seriously cross me. And by cross, I mean that you steal my donuts or poop in my yard without cleaning it up (I've got my eye on you!!).
Anywho, today was one of those days. It's very difficult for me to hide anywhere with three constant observers, so I moved to the kitchen. The kids know that they must follow orders in the kitchen because things might be hot or otherwise danjawus, so it provided some respite. I knew that cooking would make all that is wrong with the world much much better.
I had two wins. The first is a spaghetti squash casserole. The recipe was developed by a chef at The Brick here in Kansas City. You might have seen the joint on a cable network some time. Apparently the food is very good. I wanted to go on New Year's Day because they had a hangover special ($1 Bloody Mary!), but taking the three kids somehow seemed wrong. Of course, it wouldn't have been wrong if we had been in New Orleans, where you're only wrong if you're not, in fact, drinking around small children.
So here's the recipe:
4lb spaghetti squash (I did not measure to see if ours was 4lb)
2 cups ricotta
1 egg
4 cups chopped fresh spinach (4 large handfuls)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 lb cooked ground Italian sausage
2 cups canned diced tomatoes
2 cups grated mozzarella
Chop the squash in half lengthwise, drizzle flesh with olive oil, salt and pepper. Put cut side down on a pan and roast at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. When it's done, scrape out the flesh with a fork. Put the squash in a large bowl with the next seven ingredients and mix it all up. Put in a 9x13 pan, top with tomatoes and then cheese. Bake at 350 20-25 minutes.
I used one of those large cans of tomatoes and used it all. More was better I think. I also used some country sausage because I couldn't find the right sausage. I think the Italian would've been better, but this was still quite good.
Verdict: tasty. All three children ate their portions.
Then my friend Starr (yes, I have a friend here in Roeland Park named Starr) sent me a link to an article about how it's chocolate cake day! So I had to make a chocolate cake. Because I cannot look at food without needing to make it NOW.
2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Mix up all dry ingredients. Then add the wet ones except for the boiling water. Mix it all up for a couple of minutes (with or without an electric mixer). Then add boiling water. Stir until it's all together. It will be very very runny. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
It could take longer because our oven is blazing hot and we've cut off 30% of cooking time before and still burned things.
Let it cool. Make the frosting.
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
4.5 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
Cream the butter. Add everything else. You might need more or less milk.
Now, if you're a crazy perfectionist (AKA normal baker), you'll wait until the cake is cool before frosting and then wait for all the flavors to combine, maybe until the next day. If you're surrounded by whiny coworkers or little kids, you'll frost the cake piping hot and eat it immediately.
Notice the runny icing. Totally worth it.
So there you have it. How to calm the masses. Cook from scratch, baby!
I shared this post at Type A Decorating, A Bowl Full of Lemons.
1. So, I'm having a shitty day, too and was looking for a dessert to make to ease my pain *whhhinnne whhinne, biiiiitcch, biiittch!* I wasn't prepared so I'd have to use what was in the pantry.. I'm totally prepared for this chocolate cake. Totally. It better be worth it or I'll kick your ass, cause that's the type of mood I'm in. Love! ;)
2. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
3. Whhhhy do mine always show up twice?!?!
4. Ha, I tried to delete it but it still kind of shows up. Ha!
5. Yeah, that makes it look like I was bad, haha..
6. Is there a difference between unsweetened cocoa powder and baking cocoa??
7. So you used the same thing for your cake and your icing?
8. You probably could even switch out the oil for applesauce, for that healthy touch. You just had to put a picture on. I wonder if I could make a little one.
1. Never! For me, cake is not healthy, no matter how you make it. What'll they think of next? Adding rice cakes? Eeeek!
9. I 'll try to half the recipe and use applesauce.
10. Holy crap...that casserole may be the ticket for me to eat and LIKE spaghetti squash. No, really. If little kids will eat it, then I'm sure to like it.
Of course, my liking the chocolate cake is a given. Derp.

Using the Uganda National Panel Survey to analyze the effect of staple food consumption on undernourishment in Ugandan children
The United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals Report, 2015, documents that, since 1990, the number of stunted children in sub-Saharan Africa has increased by 33% even though it has fallen in all other world regions. Recognizing this, in 2011 the Government of Uganda implemented a 5-year Nutrition Action Plan. One important tenet of the Plan is to lessen malnutrition in young children by discouraging over-consumption of nutritionally deficient, but plentiful, staple foods, which it defines as a type of food insecurity.
We use a sample of 6101 observations on 3427 children age five or less compiled from three annual waves of the Uganda National Panel Survey to measure undernourishment. We also use the World Health Organization’s Child Growth Standards to create a binary variable indicating stunting and another indicating wasting for each child in each year. We then use random effects to estimate binary logistic regressions that show that greater staple food concentrations affect the probability of stunting and wasting.
The estimated coefficients are used to compute adjusted odds ratios (OR) that estimate the effect of greater staple food concentration on the likelihood of stunting and the likelihood of wasting. Controlling for other relevant covariates, these odds ratios show that a greater proportion of staple foods in a child’s diet increases the likelihood of stunting (OR = 1.007, p = 0.005) as well as wasting (OR = 1.011, p = 0.034). Stunting is confirmed with subsamples of males only (OR = 1.006, p = 0.05) and females only (OR = 1.008, p = 0.027), suggesting that the finding is not gender specific. Another subsample of children aged 12 months or less, most of whom do not yet consume solid food, shows no statistically significant relationship, thus supporting the validity of the other findings.
Diets containing larger proportions of staple foods are associated with greater likelihoods of both stunting and wasting in Ugandan children. Other causes of stunting and wasting identified in past research are also confirmed with the Uganda data. Finally, the analysis provides clues to other possible causes of undernourishment in young children.
Peer Review reports
Much attention has recently been focused on progress toward achieving the 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) established by the United Nations’ Millennium Declaration in September 2000. The first of these goals, to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, includes a target to halve between 1990 and 2015 the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. A recent United Nations report includes a discussion of progress made since 1990 in lowering the proportion of underweight children aged five or younger [1]. It documents much progress, with the proportion of underweight children falling by 11 percentage points to 14% through mid-2015. It also reports that, 25 years on, Southern Asia still has the largest percentage of underweight children (28%), but that sub-Saharan Africa has now surpassed Southeast Asia as the region with the second highest proportion (20%). The same report also notes that stunting, or inadequate height-for-age, of children age 5 or less is more prevalent than being underweight. Finally, it reports that since 1990 the number of stunted children in sub-Saharan Africa has increased by 33% even though it has fallen in all other world regions.
Most of the work on the extent of child undernutrition done since the 2000 Millennium Declaration has focused on estimating trends in stunting among pre-school children and describing the prevalence of underweight children [2,3,4]. Other work analyzes the risks and health consequences of maternal and child undernutrition [5, 6]. As a result, quite a bit of work explores ways to mitigate child malnutrition that range from individual to national and international intervention strategies [7,8,9]. These analyses of interventions include cost considerations, schooling, social safety nets, as well as agricultural and early childhood development programs [10, 11]. The political environment within which nutrition-related policy decisions are made has also been studied [12].
Attention has also focused on the causes of undernutrition in young children. Earlier work focused more on socioeconomic factors shows that socioeconomic background explains child body size differences better than ethnicity, and that child malnutrition is a function of socioeconomic inequality [13, 14]. More recently, low household wealth has been shown to affect stunting in Kenya, eastern Uganda, and Cambodia [15,16,17].
Most of the studies showing that parental education affects child malnutrition find that less educated parents, especially mothers, are more likely to have malnourished children [18, 19]. Interestingly, another paper counterintuitively suggests that, in Ghana, more education increases the likelihood of stunting [20]. Another study in Uganda shows that stunting is more likely with less educated mothers but only in rural areas. It also shows that stunting is more prevalent among boys [21]. Other work focused on sub-Saharan Africa, including East Africa and Uganda in particular, showed a greater prevalence of child malnutrition in rural areas [22,23,24,25]. Perhaps most obviously, many studies show that dietary practices also affect malnutrition. Infant feeding practices have been shown to affect stunting and wasting in India [26]. In addition, children’s diet has been associated with childhood malnutrition in the East Africa region [27, 28].
The World Health Organization (WHO) compiles an indicator of dietary diversity to shed light on how diet relates to malnutrition among infants and young children. Corresponding country profiles show a wide range of dietary diversity across the 46 countries for which data were available [29]. Related to this, an influential study using some of these data provides evidence that dietary diversity affects child nutritional status in a number of sub-Saharan African, Asian, and Latin American countries [30].
Our research focuses on the lack of dietary diversity in Uganda, where the WHO country profile shows that only 23.6% of Ugandan children aged 6–23 months have a minimally diverse diet. This is almost a full standard deviation below the 39.5% average for the 46 countries profiled. Related work by the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance II program (FANTA 2) for Uganda confirms the WHO profile [31]. It reports that most households across the country consume vegetables only three times per week, fruits less than twice weekly and meat and eggs less than once (p. 43). It also reports that households spend most of their food budget on staples (p. 42), and it documents the wide variety of staples grown in Uganda, most of which are cereals, tubers, and pulses. While all these staples are rich in Vitamin C, they have very low concentrations of Vitamin A, iron, and zinc. The lack of iron is consistent with the report stating that 73% of Ugandan children are anaemic (p. 17), and that low levels of zinc in children may have some bearing on the prevalence of stunting (p. 19).
FANTA 2 also defines food security as having both physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. Under this definition, the report suggests that 73% of Ugandan households are “food secure,” 21% are “moderately food insecure,” and only 6% are classified as “food insecure” (p. 34). Perhaps because Ugandans spend so much on nutrition-deficient staples even though the country is mostly food secure, its government has promoted dietary diversity as a means to mitigate micronutrient deficiencies with the 5-year Nutrition Action Plan (UNAP) implemented in 2011 [32]. In fact, UNAP defines food insecurity in part as the frequent consumption of staples lacking sufficient Vitamin A, iron, and zinc.
Our research uses the proportion of household food spending on staples to explain stunting and wasting among children aged 5 years or less in Uganda. This complements other work that uses the WHO indicator of dietary diversity to explain stunting and wasting in Ethiopian children [33]. To our knowledge, the effect of staples on the nutritional status of children has been studied only once in the African context [34].
Table 1 reproduces a complete list of all common staples consumed in Uganda from the FANTA 2 report. It shows quite a bit of overlap in the staples consumed in different regions of the country. Because staples are consumed in different proportions in different regions of Uganda, and because the data we use include households from the entire country, our definition of staple foods includes all those identified in Table 1 except beans. We exclude beans because they are a rich source of protein, and thus not nutritionally deficient. Table 1 informs the construction of our principal research variable, the staple budget share (SBS), which is defined simply as spending on staple foods expressed as a percentage of total household food spending. SBS is derived from a concept called the staple calorie share (SCS), defined as the percentage of total caloric intake comprised of staple foods. An economic analysis using the SCS studied the incidence of hunger among rural poor in China [35]. The study notes that most researchers will not be able to determine carefully the SCS with generally available survey data, but explains why using the SBS is an adequate proxy. Table 2 reports SBS summary statistics and the expected sign of its estimated coefficient. The data on household food spending used to construct the SBS and the other variables we use come from three annual waves of the Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS), which is part of the World Bank’s Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) [36,37,38].

Study setting, design, and sampling strategy
The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) followed and compiled a stratified random sample of households for three successive years between 2009/10 and 2011/12. These households are located in 322 enumeration areas (EAs) selected with equal probability across the country. UBOS enumerators then randomly chose ten households from each EA. The enumerators were able to follow 3123 households, or 9.7 per EA. Figure 1 shows the distribution of the 322 EAs. Thirty-four EAs are in Kampala, the capital and by far Uganda’s largest city. UBOS divides the remaining 288 evenly between each of Uganda’s four main geographic regions (Central, Eastern, Western, and Northern). Of these 72 EAs selected within each region, 58 are rural and 14 are urban, which approximates the country’s overall rural/urban population distribution. None of the households nor the individuals that comprise them are identifiable.

Sampling Procedure
We use a sample of 6101 observations on 3427 different children age five or less over the three years of the LSMS survey. The children included in this sample reside in households for which complete data exist for all the variables used in our analysis. Sampling bias might exist if, for example, households with chronically ill members systematically do not answer questions about health. The UBOS staff employs sampling methods designed to mitigate this sort of systematic bias, so we have no reason to expect any. The datasets we compiled from the UNPS are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
Variable descriptions and statistical design
The outcome variables for stunting and wasting in our statistical analysis are defined according to the WHO’s Child Growth Standards, which were developed from the their Multicentre Growth Reference Study [39]. We compute a z-score (HAZ) for each child in our sample as the difference between the child’s height-for-age and the mean for all children of the same age and gender from the WHO reference group, normalized by the standard deviation of the reference group. The WHO standards use length for children less than 24 months old and height for those 24 months to 5 years of age. The child is defined as stunted if HAZ < −2. That is, a child is stunted if he or she is more than two standard deviations below the average height-for-age for the WHO’s global reference group. These are the shortest 2.3% for their age. Wasting is similarly defined as WHZ < −2 for a child’s weight-for-height/length.
Rather than using HAZ and WHZ as the measures of nutritional status in our regression analysis, we focus specifically on stunting and wasting as defined above. We thus use two separate binary logistic regressions to estimate the effect of a larger household SBS and other covariates on the probability that a child is stunted or wasted. So the outcome variable for the stunting regression is set equal to 1 if HAZ < −2 and 0 otherwise. Similarly, the outcome for the wasting equation equals 1 if WHZ < −2 and 0 otherwise. We employ the same method used in the study of Ethiopian children [33]. Imposing the logistic functional form requires transforming the outcome variable into the natural log of the odds that a child’s growth is stunted or he or she is wasting in order to estimate the following logit regression
$$ \ln \left(\frac{{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}{1-{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}\right)=\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{SBS},\mathrm{gender},\mathrm{household}\ \mathrm{composition},\mathrm{SES},\mathrm{food}\ \mathrm{insecurity},\mathrm{urban},\mathrm{region},\mathrm{time}\right)\kern1em $$
Where pit and \( \ln \left(\frac{{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}{1-{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}\right) \) are, respectively, the probability and the natural log of the odds that stunting or wasting is occurring for the ith child in year t. This regression emphasizes that SBS, constructed from food spending data for the entire household, explains the stunting and wasting of individual children.
The regressions include a number of control covariates motivated by past work to better isolate the effect of SBS on the likelihood of stunting/wasting. Table 2 also provides definitions, summary statistics, and expected signs for all these. We include an indicator of the gender of each child in the sample [40]. The ‘household composition’ category includes indicators of whether a child’s biological parents are present (father present and mother present) because a very similar method finds that children in Western Kenya who do not live with their biological parents are at increased risk of being stunted [27]. We include the percentage of household members who are female (percent female) to distinguish between a child’s biological mother and other women in the household. We do this because it is typical for extended family members to share a dwelling, and because females are more likely to contribute to childcare. We also include an indicator to identify the gender of the household head. Because the household head can affect food purchase decisions, this should better isolate the importance of the biological mother and father alone independent of the household head. Following the studies cited above, ‘household composition’ also includes a measure of the educational achievement of the household head.Footnote 1
The ‘SES,’ or socioeconomic status, variables include the number of household occupants and their average age to help better isolate the relationship between SBS and our measures of undernutrition. Because staple foods are inexpensive, a larger household might affect its SBS. Similarly, the average age of the household members can affect the household’s SBS if there are more children and/or older people who do not contribute to household wealth. In addition, younger people may simply require more calories per day, especially if they are engaged in physical labor.
‘SES’ also includes total household spending, which is commonly accepted as a proxy for household earned income, and is necessary because income data is available for only a small fraction of the households in our sample [41]. This is generally true in sub-Saharan Africa because labor income is sporadic. Spending has also been shown to be a reliable proxy for income there [42]. Spending helps capture household poverty, thus holding constant its effect on raising the SBS because staple foods are relatively inexpensive.
Related to spending, we also include a measure of food insecurity that indicates if a household reported not having enough food to feed the household in one or more months during the survey year. This will capture any effect on stunting/wasting from food being unavailable for both direct and indirect reasons. Direct effects would include drought, flooding, or pestilence, while indirect effects would include higher prices due to shortages for these and other reasons (e.g, higher fertilizer prices).
We include an urban indicator to capture any differences due to urban location. Indicators for the region in which each household is located are also included to approximately control for ethnic differences and for differences in the mix of staple foods a household consumes. Lastly, we include indicators for each of the three years the data encompass to capture time-varying unobserved heterogeneity.
We take advantage of the panel component of our data by estimating a random effects model to control for unobserved heterogeneity among the children in our sample. Random effects remove correlations between our covariates and these unobserved differences that would otherwise bias the estimated coefficients and odds ratios. This allows us to better isolate causal relationships between our covariates and stunting and wasting. We use random effects for two primary reasons. First, fixed effects estimation, the primary alternative means of mitigating bias with panel data, cannot estimate the effect of time-invariant covariates because fixed effects “demeaning” causes these covariates to vanish. Second, our panel is unbalanced. In fact, 42% of the children in the sample appear only once in the three-year period. This is mainly because the sample includes only children aged 5 or less. For example, 5-year olds in the first survey year drop out of subsequent years, and 1-year olds in the third year do not appear in the first two. Moreover, 7% of the children appear only in the middle year, which can occur if a child has moved to a different household or died. Constructing indicators for each child is implicit in fixed effects demeaning. Doing so for those who appear only once renders estimation impossible, and eliminating them would shrink our sample by 42%.
Because the coefficients from logistic regressions measure the change in \( \ln \left(\frac{{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}{1-{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}\right) \), they lack readily intuitive explanations. We therefore convert them into adjusted odds ratios (ORs), which measure the change in the odds of stunting/wasting caused by a unit change in a covariate. They are computed as
$$ \frac{{\mathrm{e}}^{\upalpha +{\upbeta}_1{\mathrm{x}}_1+\dots +{\upbeta}_{\mathrm{j}}\left({\mathrm{x}}_{\mathrm{j}}+1\right)+\dots +{\upbeta}_{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{x}}_{\mathrm{k}}+\upvarepsilon}}{{\mathrm{e}}^{\upalpha +{\upbeta}_1{\mathrm{x}}_1+\dots +{\upbeta}_{\mathrm{j}}{\mathrm{x}}_{\mathrm{j}}+\dots +{\upbeta}_{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{x}}_{\mathrm{k}}+\upvarepsilon}}={\mathrm{e}}^{\upbeta_{\mathrm{j}}} $$
The denominator is the antilog of Eq. 1, which is the odds \( \left(\frac{{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}{{1-\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{it}}}\right) \) of a child having HAZ/WHZ < −2 given the estimated coefficients β k and values of the covariates x j . The numerator, also the antilog of Eq. 1, is the odds of having HAZ/WHZ < −2 given a 1-unit increase of the j th covariate holding constant the others. The ratio of these two odds simplifies to \( {\mathrm{e}}^{\upbeta_{\mathrm{j}}} \), which are simply the antilogs of the estimated coefficients.
Figure 2 shows histograms of the probability distribution of z-scores for our sample of Ugandan children. We superimpose the standard normal distribution of z-scores for the WHO reference group to allow a visual comparison of the differences. Clearly stunting is more prevalent because its histogram is shifted further to the left of the standard normal, which is centered on zero by definition. The mean values for stunting and wasting, reported in Table 2, show that stunting (22.2%) is indeed more prevalent than wasting (3.1%) in our sample.
Fig. 2
Probability Distributions of Z-Scores
We used Stata/SE Version 14.2 to estimate Eq. (1). Table 3 reports the estimated coefficients, 95% confidence intervals, and robust standard errors clustered at the person level for both the stunting and wasting regressions.Footnote 2 We then divide the full sample into subsamples of children aged 12 months or less and those between 12 months and 5 years to test the robustness of our results. We also divide the full sample into male and female subsamples to test for gender differences. Table 4 reports the subsample analysis for both stunting (top panel) and wasting (bottom panel), with the results from Table 3 repeated for convenience. For simplicity, Table 4 only reports estimates that are statistically significant in one or more of the subsample regressions. As another specification check, we interact the age and gender subsamples with SBS in the full sample to test for an indirect effect of SBS on stunting and wasting. In all cases, we consider estimated coefficients significant at p-values ≤0.05.
Table 3 Logistic regression results, full sample
Table 4 Logistic regression results, age and gender subsamples
Table 3 shows that SBS is associated with both increased stunting and wasting in the full sample. Moreover, Table 4 shows that SBS is associated with increased stunting in children between the ages of 12 months and 5 years, but not in children aged 12 months or less. Also, the subsamples divided by gender show that SBS is associated with increased stunting for both males and females, but with increased wasting only for females.
Table 4 also shows that a number of the other covariates are statistically significant. Greater household spending, our income proxy, is associated with lower stunting but not wasting. Male children more than 12 months old appear more prone to both stunting and wasting independent of SBS. Having the biological mother present is associated with less stunting, and a household head with some formal education is associated with less wasting both in the full and female only samples. Urban location is associated with a rather large decrease in stunting in all samples other than the one containing only children 12 months old or less. This result is particularly robust. Finally, we find that food insecurity affects only wasting in the female subsample.
Our results indicate that SBS is associated with both stunting and wasting. However, a comparison of Tables 3 and 4 shows that stunting is better explained by the set of covariates than is wasting. This is most likely because, as Fig. 2 shows, stunting is the larger problem in Uganda. This in turn is consistent with reports of a general decline in the prevalence of stunting in less developed countries except for those in East Africa [1, 43].
In the stunting regression, the odds ratio associated with the SBS coefficient is 1.007 (e0.007), which indicates that a 1 percentage point (equal to 1% here) increase in household SBS is associated with a 0.7% increase in the odds of a child being stunted. Alternatively, the odds of stunting are 7% higher for a household that spends 10% more of their food budget on staples, and the estimate is quite precise (standard error = 0.002, p = 0.005). Moreover, this finding for Ugandan children is consistent with the work that shows lower odds of stunting for Ethiopian children that have a more diverse diet [33]. It therefore also suggests that the proportion of staples is the complement to dietary diversity.
We also find a significant relationship between SBS and wasting, where a 10% increase in SBS is associated with an 11% increase in the odds of wasting (OR = 1.011, p = 0.034). This odds ratio is almost double that in the stunting regression. By itself, this appears odd given that Fig. 2 shows stunting to be the much larger problem. However, one should compare these odds ratios relative to the means for stunting and wasting in Table 2. For example, evaluated at the mean for stunting (22.2%), the 7% increase in the odds of stunting from a 10% increase in SBS would raise the mean from 22.2% to 23.8%. Evaluated at the much smaller mean for wasting (3.1%), the 11% increase in odds from a 10% increase in SBS raises the mean from 3.1% to only 3.4%. Thus, the larger odds ratio for wasting predicts a smaller increase in the average number of wasted children because this average is so much smaller.
Focusing on the subsamples, the SBS coefficient is not statistically significant in the stunting regression for children 12 months old or less (p = 0.587), but is again positive and statistically significant (p = 0.001) for those more than 1 year old, with a 10% greater SBS associated with a 9% increase in stunting (OR = 1.009). This is reasonable because many, and perhaps most, children are not yet eating solid food during their first year. Therefore, the statistically significant odds ratios for SBS suggest we are indeed seeing that staple foods affect stunting rather than some spurious correlation.Footnote 3 Taken together, the SBS odds ratios in these two subsamples provide some evidence that stunting is not solely a function of maternal malnutrition. Nevertheless, the insignificant SBS indirectly suggests that maternal malnutrition is the cause of the stunting (11.8%) that does exist in this subsample if our list of covariates reasonably covers the other causes identified in past work. As another robustness check, we interact age (1 year or less or greater than 1 year) with SBS to test for an indirect effect of SBS on stunting and wasting. The combined odds ratio is 1.010 (p < 0.001) in both cases, which is virtually identical to the odds ratio in the 1-to-5 year old stunting subsample (1.009) and in the wasting subsample (1.008), although the latter is not significant.
Subsamples for males and females show that stunting is not gender-specific. The odds of male stunting increase 6% (OR = 1.006, p = 0.05) and the odds of female stunting increase 8% (OR = 1.008, p = 0.027) with a 10% increase in SBS. The same 10% increase in SBS also shows a 17% increase in the odds of wasting (p = 0.024) for females. This represents an increase to 3% from the 2.6% wasting mean in this subsample. Perhaps somewhat troubling, we find that food insecurity raises the odds of wasting by 81%, in this same subsample (OR = 1.812, p = 0.046). Even though only 2.6% of the females are wasted, this odds ratio implies female wasting increases to 4.7% if the household cannot provide enough food at some point during the survey year. One interpretation may be that when households cannot provide enough food, including what they grow themselves, young girls are deprived. Finally, we interact gender with SBS but find no significance.
Returning to the stunting equation using the full sample, the estimated coefficient for spending is negative, which indicates that greater household spending is associated with lower odds of stunting. The odds ratio, which is less than 1 (e−0.005 = 0.995), indicates that a 100,000 Uganda shillings (UGX) increase in spending is associated with a (1–0.995)×100, or 0.5%, lower odds of stunting (p = 0.005). For perspective, UGX 100,000 translates into about €31.88 ($42.81) at the average exchange rates over the sample time period.
We expect the negative relationship between spending and stunting because spending is a proxy for income and, other things the same, higher income should be associated with lower odds of stunting. This is consistent with the work that shows how household wealth affects stunting [15,16,17]. The FANTA 2 report states that low levels of zinc, common in these staple foods, are associated with stunting. It also reports that households spend on average only 54% of their budgets on food. This result, together with SBS, suggests that stunting is not solely, and maybe not even largely, a function of poverty.
We noted earlier that others have found greater stunting among male children [21]. We find that, independent of SBS, males have greater odds of both stunting and wasting in our full sample as well as our subsample of children more than 1 year old, yet we have no evidence from past work to suggest why. Moreover, the rather large increase in odds suggests that male is capturing other factors we do not measure. In addition, having the biological mother present appears to be important. Our finding that this lessens the odds of stunting is consistent with earlier research with the same finding [27].
The odds ratio for an urban location (0.492) indicates that the odds of stunting are 50.8% lower for children in urban households (p < 0.001). This is perhaps not surprising given that access to all sorts of information is much more readily available in cities, including access to neonatal and postnatal consultation with health care providers who no doubt also provide nutrition advice. The magnitude of this effect is large, however, which suggests the coefficient is capturing many attributes of urban areas that mitigate the likelihood of undernutrition. This indicator is particularly robust across the stunting regressions, which suggests another possible avenue for future research.
In passing, for completeness, we note that a third anthropometric measure of undernutrition is a child’s weight-for-age, with underweight defined as WAZ < −2. Weight-for-age has been described as a composite of height-for-age and weight-for-height, which makes its interpretation difficult [44]. As such, it is most commonly used to monitor children’s growth and to assess changes in the magnitude of undernutrition over time. Nevertheless, we estimate a weight-for-age logit as another test of the robustness of our other estimates. SBS significantly explains being underweight (OR = 1.0136, p < 0.001). These results are available from the authors upon reasonable request.
While we find strong evidence that staple food consumption is associated with stunting and wasting in young children, there are limitations to the analysis. First, because we focus solely on diets with larger proportions of staples, we ignore the complementary foods that complete the typical diet. Because a greater proportion of less nutritious staples strongly associates with the odds of stunting and wasting, households most likely consume a smaller proportion of more nutritious complementary foods such as those rich in vitamin A and protein. Yet the UNPS data also reports that Ugandans buy less-nutritious items that are not part of SBS such as sugar, sesame, coffee, tea, soda, beer and other alcohol, and restaurant food, which could be more or less nutritious depending on how it is prepared. The point is we cannot say that all the foods that complement the staples are more nutritious.
Second, we use SBS, a household-level measure of staple food spending, to explain the stunting and wasting of individual children. This implicitly assumes that nutrition content is equally distributed among all household members, which would be incorrect if, for example, children receive more nutrient-dense food than others do as part of an intra-household food allocation decision. While possible, a theoretical economic model of optimal household resource allocation in poor countries suggests the opposite is also possible. Although focused on a different health issue, this model predicts that households maximize well-being when they allocate all resources that promote health to the most productive household members, which are typically those who engage in physical labor [45]. Data from India support the hypothesis. In light of this, any intra-household allocation may give young children less nutritious food than those who work.
In addition, our sample includes children from across Uganda, so we define SBS broadly because we know the mix of staples consumed varies by region. While region indicators in the regression broadly capture cultural and dietary differences, we do not determine if the relationship between SBS and undernourishment varies by region, or if different staples have different impacts. Future work should be able to shed more light on these details. Related to this, we expect that child undernourishment is related to staple consumption in other countries and world regions. Because staples and their nutritional content certainly vary, we cannot assert that our findings for Uganda apply elsewhere.
The Uganda Nutrition Action Plan’s definition of food insecurity includes the frequent consumption of nutritionally deficient staples. We find evidence that lends support to this tenet of the plan. Overall, we find that a greater proportion of less nutritious staple foods, as measured by our staple budget share, is strongly associated with higher probabilities of stunting and wasting in children between one and five years old. Moreover, we find no evidence that staple foods affect children less than one year old because, generally, they are not yet eating solid food. This lends confidence to the validity of the relationships we do find, and we hope that Ugandan policymakers find them useful as they develop future nutrition policy.
Our work also suggests some avenues for future research. Because our findings are specific to Uganda, we hope others will analyze the same relationships in other countries and world regions. In addition, as we mention, the size of the estimated odds ratios for a few of the control covariates are very large, which suggests they are capturing unmeasured attributes that bias our estimates. In particular, the large impact of our measure of food insecurity on the wasting of young girls stands out. More work should help extricate any confounding influences.
Beyond the effect of staple foods, we find that urban location can greatly lessen the likelihood of stunting. We also find that males are more prone to both stunting and wasting independent of staple foods. We hope this motivates research to discover why.

We use the education of the household head because only 5% of the biological mothers in the sample reported having attended or completed primary school or higher, with most of the others reporting they do not know if they completed any formal education. Estimates using mother’s education are similar to those we report for the household head, but we are not confident in their reliability. Those results are available upon request.

Robust standard errors correct for unequal regression error variance (heteroskedasticity). They are different (usually larger) than uncorrected standard errors when the error variance is correlated with the values of the covariates, which is commonly found in cross-sectional and longitudinal data such as ours. Similarly, clustering at person level adjusts the standard errors to account for correlations in the error terms for the same child across the 3-year panel. Both corrections make erroneous conclusions about statistical significance less likely.

We recognize that many children begin eating solid food between 6 and 12 months, but the data do not allow us to determine when each child starts eating solid food.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/614 | Take A Papercraft Journey Through Gaming History With This Music Video
Take A Papercraft Journey Through Gaming History With This Music Video
If you go back to play the games from your childhood, the graphics may not always look exactly the way you remember them – but you’ve never seen the classics of video game history quite like this. In the music video above (which we are premiering here on Game Informer), you can see an impressive range of games represented in stunning and stylish paper animation. If you have fond memories of games like Metroid, Punch-Out, and Shovel Knight – or if you just generally like melancholy music – then you should check it out.
The song is simply called “Video Games,” and it is by Minneapolis-based musician Jeremy Messersmith, with visuals by animator Eric Power. The track is the newest installment in Messersmith’s Mixtape for the Milky Way project (Spotify), which he describes as “a celebration of sonic minimalism and introspective non-fiction songwriting.”
This isn’t the first time Messersmith and Power have teamed up; you may remember another paper-animated video for Messersmith’s song “Tatooine” making the rounds online several years ago:
The duo has also collaborated on music videos for Messersmith’s other songs, like “A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard” and “Organ Donor.”
I’ve been a fan of Messersmith’s music for years, so the “Video Games” video represents a very specific intersection of my personal interests. If you also enjoy it, I encourage you check out his albums! In these especially dark times, it can be nice to think about a future in which everybody gets a kitten.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/615 | Fun With Fonts
During my leveling process, i fell in love with Mik Scrolling Battle Text. It uncluttered all my damage numbers and condensed them into one simple frame. Since i like minimal with less clutter, it was a perfect fit for my UI setup. That is until i started doing some raids and reassessing my UI needs and layout functionality.
I realized how much i missed seeing damage numbers on top of enemy heads. This was even more evident on trash pulls and adds. Being able to see all the mobs i have dots rolling on individually is a lot more visual and intuitive than having them all combined together into one area. Of course this creates a massive clusterfuck on my screen when there’s lots of mobs but i actually seem to prefer it for this specific situation.
The other issue i had was how much i couldn’t stand the default floating combat text font. Not only is it a boring style but looked quite pixelated as well. Well hurray for Font Damage Changer which let me change the text to any one of the hundred or so fonts i happen to already have for Photoshop projects. Now my problem lies in actually choosing which one i like more than the next and sticking to it for more than a few hours.

Code Virtualizer – Total Obfuscation Against Reverse Engineering
Code Virtualizer is a powerful code-obfuscation system that helps developers protect their sensitive code areas against Reverse Engineering while requiring minimum system resources. Code Virtualizer can convert your original code (Intel x86 instructions) into Virtual Opcodes that will only be understood by an internal Virtual Machine.
Code virtualization consists of the transformation of binary code from a specific machine into a different binary code that is understood by another machine. That is, the instruction set from a specific machine is converted into a new instruction set which is understood by a different machine. Code Virtualizer can generate multiple types of virtual machines with a different instruction set for each one.

Unintended nanoparticle interaction with immune cells may elicit a molecular response that can have toxic effects and lead to greater susceptibility to infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer development. As evidenced by several studies, nanoparticle interactions with biological systems can stimulate inflammatory or allergic reactions and activate the complement system. Nanoparticles can also stimulate immune response by acting as adjuvants or as haptens. Immunosuppressive effects have also been reported. This article gives a brief review of in vitro and in vivo research evidencing stimulatory or suppressive effects of nanoparticles on the immune system of mammals. In order to ensure safe use of nanosized particles, future research should focus on how their physical and chemical properties influence their behaviour in the biological environment, as they not only greatly affect nanoparticle-immune system interactions but can also interfere with experimental assays.

• In the Beginning
There were 22 Founders and many more who entered into the conversations that led to organizing the CNS. At the first scientific meeting, there were over 100 and now there are several thousand members. How did it all happen?
First, there was a need for the CNS and second there were the conspirators.
Some of the early organizers were more active than others. It is possible to name a few persons (some living and some deceased) who might have been justifiably hanged, expelled, excommunicated or disgraced as being the ringleaders of the conspiracy. That act might have made a statement, but there would be others left alive and well to continue the cause.
The organizers were good listeners. They collated and wrote down ideas that came from everywhere. Some of them became early CNS Presidents. Their personalities changed from a straight to a blend from working intensely together.
So many ideas came from some many different persons that it was difficult then (and now) to sort out the original author of a particular CNS idea. The organizing group changed frequently and was always expanding as the CNS grew in size and influence.
Free from any artificial constraints we were able to use the organization as an experimental social laboratory. The CNS also became a training center for future academic, community, and scientific leaders.
It was a once in a lifetime experience for the CNS organizers and that same experience is repeated for others each year since its founding 1951.

Rails asset serve from cloudfront
When it comes to e-commerce sites few main things to note is the SEO and the site load time. When you check the site using online tools few things that it would say is
1. Serve images using CDN
2. Image needs to be optimized. Size of images needs to be reduced.
Here we will look at how rails can serve images through CDN. Let us assume we have a bucket named cloudfront-test and we want to serve the contents from this bucket through cloudfront distribution.
Step 1 - Create cloudfront distribution
Choose the Get started in the website section
No setting change is required. If custom domain name is there, then it can be given. Also create a custom ssl certificate
Click on create distribution. It will take around 15 mins to create distribution
Now that the distribution is created and linked with S3 bucket, Now we can access the images from cloudfront URL.
Eg S3 URL:
Eg Cloudfront URL:
Cloudfront URL by default have the https enabled. For custom domains SSL certificate needs to be uploaded.
Rails - Paperclip changes
If you are using rails paperclip gem for uploading images and want to change the default S3 URL to a cloudfront URL where the S3 bucket it associated, these are the changes we need to make.
In the staging/production.rb environment file, make the following change.
config.paperclip_defaults = {
storage: :s3,
s3_protocol: :https,
url: ':s3_alias_url',
s3_host_alias: '', # Place custom URL if you have
path: ":class/:attachment/:id_partition/:style/:filename",
s3_credentials: {
bucket: 'BUCKET-NAME',
access_key_id: "S3-ACCESS-KEY",
secret_access_key: "S3-SECRET-KEY",
s3_region: 'eu-west-1',
s3_host_name: "",
Path option will be needed, By default it wont be there. I placed this after checking the paperclip gem.
Without mentioning path there was a problem.
By default the URL will be like…/…/…/filename.jpg
By doing the above setting the URL changes to…/…/filename.jpg
If you notice the URL does not have the bucket name appended. Now all the URL will be showing the cloudfront URL.
1. Add the settings for Activestorage. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/720 | HIPAA Training Games
seminar image by Andrey Kiselev from Fotolia.com
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, was instituted by the U.S. Congress in 1996 as a means of amplifying the protection and privacy of patient health care information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that HIPAA standards must be adopted by organizations providing medical and health-related services to patients and their families. And integrating HIPAA games into employee training at organizations that provide medical and health-related services can be a fun way to educate employees.
Role Play Demonstrations
Role play is a popular HIPAA training game that teaches employees how to identify HIPAA violations. To play the game, a few trainees are asked to act out a scenario in front of a group. During the demonstration the audience has to observe whether or not the performers adhered to or violated HIPAA rules. At the end of the performance, the audience is asked to summarize which HIPAA rules were followed or ignored. This interactive game gives employees the chance to experience right from wrong, which develops their understanding of HIPAA.
HIPAA relay is a competitive game that tests employees’ knowledge of HIPAA. Line up the training class into two teams. Both teams will be asked a trivia question related to HIPAA, and only the individuals at the front of the line can answer. Whoever answers the question first scores a point for her team. Play continues with the next person in line answering a question. The team with the most points at the end wins. If neither team can answer a question, the players being questioned must step to the back of the line and forfeit the point for that round.
HIPAA Treasure Hunt
HIPAA treasure hunt is a game played to teach trainees how to identify HIPAA breaches. Instruct the trainees to leave the training room and reconfigure the room to resemble a medical office. Divide trainees into small teams before they re-enter the room and provide each team with a piece of paper with one clue written on it. Teams must follow the first clue that leads to a second clue, and so on. A sample clue might say “Someone left me on,” which represents a computer that was not locked or password-protected. Locking and protecting computers with passwords is an example of technical safeguarding, which the U.S. Center for Disease Control states is a requirement under HIPAA’s privacy rule. Teams who are familiar with the HIPAA rules will have an easier time playing this game, which helps trainees avoid common office violations and maintain a HIPAA-compliant work environment. |

The other 8 points are, your eyebrow, side of your eye, under your eye, under your nose, your chin, your collarbone, under your arm, and the top of your head.
Why should we avoid tapping?
What are the 9 tapping points?
9 primary tapping points (KC, TOH, EB, SE, UE, UN, Ch, CB, UA) Setup Phrase on the KC point. Reminder Phrase at the rest of the points. Measuring intensity and the 5 step process.
Who invented tapping?
The tapping technique began to be taken up by rock and blues guitarists in the late 1960s. One of the earliest such players was Canned Heat guitarist Harvey Mandel, whom Ritchie Blackmore claims to have seen using tapping onstage as early as 1968 at the Whisky a Go Go.
How often should you do EFT tapping?

Does EFT really work for anxiety?
EFT tapping is an alternative treatment for certain emotional and physical conditions. Some research indicates that it may be effective for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, although more investigation is necessary.
Do I have to speak out loud when tapping?
It is best to speak out loud when tapping because the goal is to keep your mind focused on the issue at the same time you tap and that is usually easier to do aloud. However, in public places, or other times when it’s not such a great idea to speak aloud, it’s fine to just say the words silently to yourself.
Does EFT tapping work for weight loss?
If you’re an emotional eater, EFT tapping might help curb your appetite and lead to weight loss. If you believe you’re gaining weight because of stress, EFT tapping might help with that, too.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/757 | Offering the Techscheme to your Employees
What is the Techscheme?
The Techscheme is a way of financing tech purchases for your employees over a 12 month period in a way which saves them on National Insurance and is cost neutral for you.
Why operate the Techscheme?
• Boosts employee moral and has been linked to a reduction in staff turnover in some organisations
• Helps employees develop their tech skills
• Easy to operate and cost neutral for employers
How does it work?
1. Register as an employer at
2. Advertise the scheme to your employees
3. Employees select the tech they would like from Apple or the amount they require to purchase the tech from Currys PC World and apply via the Techscheme website.
4. You approve the purchase and set up the salary sacrifice via your payroll system.
5. The employee receives a code for Currys PC World to order online or, if using Apple, the products are shipped to them.
Anything else I need to know?
• The equipment is owned by the employee the day after they receive it.
• If an employee leaves your employment before the payment plan is completed you can deduct the remaining balance from their final pay (or ask them to make payment if the amount owed is higher than their pay).
• If your employees are at or close to National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage you can set up an alternative agreement which makes deductions from net pay rather than gross pay. You will need to contact Techscheme to set this up.
• You will need to complete a P11D the following year for any employees who have participated.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/803 | Fuji Horizontal scrolling to see photos? Problems with page width?
Hall of Famer
Some members may find that the forum page width is too wide to navigate without horizontal scrolling. This shouldn't be the case if your display is at least 1280px wide and/or you are using a mobile browser that automatically resizes everything (ie, iPhone, iPad, Android). However those on a desktop/laptop with a display 1024px wide or smaller may face this issue. One option is to resize the page using your browser - holding [CTRL] and [-] at the same time will usually accomplish this ([CMD] and [-] on a Mac).
I installed another option - dedicated site styles for those using smaller displays. These won't completely eliminate horizontal scrolling issues for everyone, but they should minimize those issues for most people. To select one of these styles, scroll to the bottom left corner of any page and use the drop-down menu to select one of the styles that says "for smaller displays". What these styles do is reduce the maximum width of displayed images from 1024px (in the standard site styles) to 512px. With this change, the thread view should fit on an 800px-wide screen.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/825 | Geoff Colman on Naturalistic Acting
Part way through this spring term Geoff Colman – Head of Acting at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama – gave an acting workshop for the students at New College of the Humanities.
Seven students had rehearsed a speech of their choice. Geoff deconstructed and reconstructed these using a variety of methods and some amazingly perceptive stabs at the volunteers’ backgrounds – for example, whether they had any RADA training behind them.
Along the way he revealed much of his (Stanlislavsky-based) theory of acting, with the aid of some striking metaphors and aperçus.
Here I present a few of these, glossed by my best attempt at a paraphrase of his thought.
1. Reality changes, so realism changes
This is also a point I make to my students when teaching Victorian literature: Victorian reality isn’t our own, and we shouldn’t judge the realism of a Victorian novel by the standards of the latter. Eleventh-hour rescues from execution seem melodramatic, but they happened, as they do today still in the United States. Similarly, Geoff pointed out that Laurence Olivier was praised for his naturalism by his contemporaries, who were not wrong – but both nature and naturalism have shifted.
1. Reality has to be faked
Gesturing to the room in which the workshop was taking place, Geoff made the point that, reconstructed on a stage, the room would not look real. The real is not the realistic, and the istic lies in artistry. The Georgians who hired Capability Brown to landscape their gardens said that they wanted them to look natural, but in fact wanted them to be naturalistic. The stage, with or without a proscenium arch, acts as a frame, and what is on it is seen by the standards of art, not life.
1. In theatres, we switch on internal aeroplane settings
That is, during live performance situations, we switch off our sense of living. Hence our demand for the realistic rather than the real.
1. You have to put words behind you
We don’t think in words, and we often don’t say what we think. We think in images, and our thought as we speak has far more complexity than our words. An actor must deliver lines whilst occupied by that complexity of thought by, as it were, putting words behind them. The exception, Geoff admitted, is in Renaissance drama, where the speech as written is the thought. Elsewhere, all bets are off.
1. Multiplex thought
If passive thought is the mental visualistion of stills, and active thought is the watching of a film, our minds are so complex that we can multiplex thought. A naturalistic actor has to do this, whilst acting.
1. Don’t pretend, curate the character inside your being
An actor should be the version of their character that they would be if they were that person. For example – one of the last careers that Geoff would ever think of pursuing is that of a policeman, but once he was obliged to act the part of a policeman. It eventually came right when he acted the policeman that he would be, were he to be a policeman. Likewise, an actor playing King Lear must play him as King Lear would be were he that actor, or as the actor would be if he were King Lear.
1. Keep the trap door to your intelligence open to let the animal seep in
This highly Lawrencian advice was advice addressed to a room full of undergraduates. ‘I can tell that you’re all good at thinking’, he said, ‘but you can’t act just by thinking.’ It turned out that the workshop’s four hours weren’t enough for him to crowbar the doors open. He got us to do an exercise that he often uses with companies of actors. We sat on the floor in two parallel lines all facing one direction, so that those in one line were looking at the backs of those in the other. Then a single person in the front line was silently picked out by someone in the back line, and everyone in the back line had to look at that person. If anyone in the front line felt that everyone in the back line was looking at them, then they had to turn round. We played it time and again, facing one way and then the other. But nobody ever turned round. Our trap doors were firmly shut, and the monologue in the loft was: ‘There’s only a ten percent chance that it’s me. There’s no rational way that I would be able to feel if it were me. And if I turn round and it’s not me, then it will be more embarrassing than if it is me and I don’t; one way I’ll look narcissistic – the other way, just a bit insensitive.’ Geoff informed us that in companies of actors that know each other well, the right person turns round, every time, straight away. I’m prepared to believe it.
1. Acting is like playing the recorder
Anyone can do it. But most people do it badly, and only a very few people can do it well.
1. You can’t always feel it whilst performing, but it is useful to have felt it in rehearsal
This applied to all his advice. That is what acting training is about.

Chameleon Gems 7.3
In Chameleon Gems you have to hit with gems same colored gems
This is another Zuma clon (like Luxor), in which you control a central character (a Chameleon, this time) that has a gem in its mouth, and a long line of gems going around it.
You must point and shoot your gem to groups of two or more gems with the same color of the gem in the Chameleon´s mouth, in order to clear them out.
You must clear all the gems before they fall in the central hole. If they do, you loose a life. When all lives are lost, it´s game over. Your score will be based in how far was the last gem you cleared from the central hole. Of course, you get more points if they are far from the hole.
Some gems have smaller gems over them, that will be released when you clear that gem. Some will have a back arrow, this means that the string of gems will go back a little when you hit them. Some gems will explode, clearing the nearest gems, and some will give you the power to eliminate other gems simply shooting them.
Each time you end a level, you can trade your point for some articles that will give you some kind of vantage in the game.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/843 | Stitch Tuesday – reading charts
Charts are great for both crocheting and knitting. They provide clarity. There can’t be any confusion due to wording and explanations. They are also great for visualizing what the pattern looks like before you begin. I often find myself in a rabbit hole of patterns and charts on Pinterest. The problem is, half of them are drawn differently from what I’m used to. Luckily I know Russian and can read instructions, but if you don’t have such a skill it can be a big obstacle. No worries! I drew out some of the most common symbols next to US symbols. I hope this helps and you can make something you thought you couldn’t.
From left to right: abbreviation, US symbols, Russian/EU symbols.
If you have specific ones you’d like me to translate, let me know. I’ll be happy to help! |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/908 | Finding Who We Are: Part 5
We are a people of faith, believing God and trusting Him with every fiber of our being. That is what God expects from those who are His. That faith to trust and believe God leads us to a life of peace that reveals His rest at work in us.
We are a people who put our trust in the work, will, and way of The Triune God, finding our rest in Him as we lean our entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness. True, abiding faith to trust God unites us with Him in thought, word, and actions.
Thought: all true thought is wrapped up in the Father, the God-head. True thought and true wisdom is from Him, who knows all things, even the date and time of the last day, and He makes truth known, revealing Himself, His will, His ways, to those who wholeheartedly seek Him in earnest. Thus, He calls us to “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” and to “think on these things, the higher things that are true, right, pure, lovely, excellent, worthy of praise” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Philippians 4:8-9).
Word (Jesus): Jesus knows and always, from beginning of time, speaks the true Word of God, coming from the very thoughts and intentions of Father, the God-Head. I believe that Jesus has always been the Angel of the Lord, God’s visible manifestation, bringing the Message of God to His people. He always speaks the truth of God, revealing the intent of God, and He came as our Incarnate Lord God to correct our understanding and show the true way of Life in unity with God’s perfection. He is our example, the Lord of our lives, and we are expected to be as He is, following in His footprints.
The Spirit of God is that part of Him that equips and empowers right and true discernment, leading to productive and eternally effective action. We are instructed to be filled and overflowing with Him, cooperating with Him so that His power and affect flow through us.
Surrendering to The Triune in the power and leading of His Spirit, we become one in thought, word, and actions, just as did Jesus. This is the path of ONE, the achievement of the desired unity between The Triune and the Body.
Father led me to look at Philippians 1:6 in The Passion Translation the other day. I love it! The way it reads seems to say that He will keep working in us until He can unveil us to reveal the very image of Christ in us! That is the desire of The Triune for us and it is the desired end of the work of God’s Spirit in us. Love that. Make it so, Father. Grant us faith to persevere and fully cooperate with the work of Your Presence set to overflow in us.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/922 | The Story of Professor Ferreira
The Story of Professor Ferreira
DSU’s beloved Spanish professor, Sylma Samuel Ferreira is from the Commonwealth of Dominica, an island in the Caribbean. Not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, another country in the Caribbean, the official language of Dominica is English, and 80% of the population also speaks French Creole.
A World Traveller
Professor Ferreira has been to school all over the world. From birth to college level, she attended schools in Dominica. She received her degrees from The University of the West Indies in Barbados, the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain and the University of Arkansas in the United States.
The pursuit of knowledge brought Professor Ferreira to many Spanish-speaking countries. She pursued specialized courses in the field of Teaching of Spanish as a foreign language at universities in countries including Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, and Spain.
It seems that education is an ongoing project and school never ends for her. She recently completed a specialized graduate certificate in TESOL at the University of Southern Mississippi. She says she is always involved in some form of learning or academic writing.
A Woman of Many Talents
In Dominica, Ferriera worked at the Dominica State College as the Senior Spanish lecturer. And the Head of the Modern Languages Department for ten years. She was also an instructor in Spanish at the University of the West Indies Open Campus.
She also worked very closely with the Ministry of Education in Dominica as the Spanish Language Specialist. This position afforded her the opportunity to carry out consultation with different agencies for International Cooperation in Latin America for various foreign language education initiatives and projects.
Before Delta State University, she also worked as a Spanish Teaching Assistant with the University of Arkansas while in graduate school.
Choosing Delta State
Professor Ferreira received several job opportunities. She had the choice between a quiet, sedentary environment in the Delta or living in cities like Houston or Miami. Having lived in cities like Caracas, Santiago and Madrid, she says she chose DSU because she was looking for some peace in her life.
In her office, she has a token which a friend gave her with the inscription “Find PEACE.” Another Dominican friend of hers recommended the Delta because of the serene natural environment and slow-paced lifestyle.
Professor Ferreira says that Delta reminds her of Dominica. The only exception is that there are no mountains.
She also finds that the small university setting allows for closer interaction with students and the Hispanic community in the Delta.
“It would be remiss of me not to mention the university culture that supports faculty initiatives,” she added.
She has been able to introduce new programs here, such as the Spanish Minor. This was a big plus for her, and she hopes to continue to grow this program here. She has started several cultural programs: Tertulia, Cine Club, The Pulsera Project and SiS- Study in Spain Student Ambassador program.
Professor Ferreira is also behind DSU’s Hispanic Heritage Day. DSU celebrates this day each year by bringing in outstanding international keynote speakers and cultural performances from the Hispanic community. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/945 | In this article we explain:
• What an SPF Record is
• How to Add an SPF Record
• How to Create an SPF Record
Already have an SPF Record but not sure if its setup correctly? Use our free SPF Surveyor to perform an SPF Check.
What is an SPF Record?
An SPF record or SPF TXT record is a record that is part of your domain’s DNS — similar to a DMARC record. It contains a list of all the IP addresses that are permitted to send email on behalf of your domain.
When a sender tries to hand-off email to an email “receiving” server for delivery, the email server checks to see if the sender is on your domain’s list of allowed senders. If it is, then a link has been established between the piece of email and the email domain.
With an SPF record in place, you protect your email domain against spoofing and phishing attacks by letting the world know which servers are authorized to send authenticated email on your behalf.
Read more about the SPF Record Syntax.
How do I add an SPF Record?
To add an SPF record, you will need access to the DNS control panel for your domain. If you are using a hosting provider, the process is fairly straightforward, and you should reference their supporting documentation. If you are uncertain, you may wish to contact your IT provider for support.
Note: Your new SPF record can take up to 48 hours to go into effect.
How do I create an SPF Record?
Start by gathering a list of all your domains, as each SPF record refers to a specific domain. Be sure to include inactive (or “parked”) domains that don’t send email in order to protect them from abuse as well.
You will also need to identify everything that sends email from your domain(s), including sources (third-parties) that send emails on behalf of your domain. This includes:
• Mail Servers (both web-based like Gmail or via your ISP and in-office like Microsoft Exchange)
• ESPs (Email Service Providers – companies that provide email marketing/bulk email services)
• Miscellaneous services (e.g., support/ticketing systems, payment providers, e-merchant services, etc.)
v=spf1 ip4: ip6:2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348 ~all
• Start with the SPF version v=spf1. This indicates that it is an SPF record. It will always be v=spf1, as other SPF versions have been discontinued.
• The SPF version tag should be followed with all IP addresses that are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain.
For example: v=spf1 ip4: ip6:2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348
• Next comes the “include” statement, which is needed for every third-party organization that sends email on your behalf.
You should consult with these third parties to discover which domain to use as a value here. Also, ESPs typically publish SPF records for sending domains on your behalf, so you will want to verify with them as well.
• The end of the SPF record is the “all” tag. It is important because it indicates what policy and how strictly it should be applied when a receiving server detects a server which is not listed (authorized) in your SPF record.
The “all” tag has the following basic options:
-all – (fail) non-authorized emails will be rejected*.
~all – (softfail) non-authorized emails will be accepted but marked*.
+all – this tag allows any server to send email from your domain, so we advise strongly against it.
*You can find more information about the differences between fail and softfail here.
This is a basic overview of what an SPF record can contain. You can find a deeper look into SPF syntax here.
For your domains that do not send email (inactive or parked domains), it is recommended to publish an SPF policy that doesn’t include any IP addresses to prevent it from being abused. Here’s an example record for a non-sending domain: v=spf1 -all
Note: SPF records cannot be over 255 characters long, and cannot include more than ten “include” statements, also known as “lookups.”
To inspect and verify your SPF records, head over to our free SPF Survey. If you haven’t already, you can sign up for a free trial here and let us help you secure your email domains.
SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework and is a free email authentication technology that has been around since 2003. It is a way to verify that a mail server (IP address) is authorized to send email for a specific domain; along with DKIM, SPF is a foundation for DMARC. You can find more information about SPF in general here.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/970 | Every day in the emergency department I am confronted by pain. In fact, the treatment of pain is one of the most important skills emergency physicians, indeed all physicians, possess. For instance, I recently cared for a child with sickle cell disease who was having a pain crisis which involved severe leg pain. His life is one of frequent, intense pain. I gently, and repeatedly, treated his pain with morphine until he had relief. I see hip fractures; all broken bones hurt. I am thrilled to alleviate that discomfort. Pain is one of the things I can fix, if only temporarily. It makes me happy to see the relaxed face of a man or woman with a kidney stone or migraine, who suddenly smiles and says ‘thanks!’
But pain is also the source of so much subterfuge. Emergency department are full of individuals who use controlled substances for recreation. I know because they have pain that is entirely unverifiable. They have terrible right flank pain with no gall-bladder, no pancreatitis, no kidney stone (documented by CT), no pneumonia or rash. They have nothing to cause the pain. And yet, dose after dose of narcotic later, snoring in their ER stretcher, they look up at me with hazy eyes and say, thickly, ‘cann I gettt somethinn elsss for paaiin…it hurtssss so…bad. zzzz. Itzzz a tennn.’
So I began to wonder about science and the pain scale. I admit that the pain scale has a place. But I also wonder to what extent the pain scale has made everything worse. Prescription drug abuse is epidemic. And most of it isn’t stolen; it’s prescribed, then abused or sold by patients.
I’ve heard this old saying, ‘you can’t create an addict in the ER.’ Poppycock. That might have been true in the days when the ER wasn’t an all-inclusive, shop-till-you-drop supermarket of medical wonders. It might have been true when you could actually escort someone out of the ER and tell them to never return. It might have been true when federal law and trial lawyers didn’t have us in a collective choke-hold. But now, I’d venture to say that you can absolutely create an addict in the ER, or in the family medicine office, or in the pain clinic, or in the neurologist’s office.
Have we simply taken our own fear of under-treatment of pain and transferred it to the more dangerous over-treatment by the patient, who has the final answer to all pain questions, simply by saying ‘yep, it’s a ten,’ while texting his girlfriend about their trip to the lake?
It would seem that we could do a better job scientifically. Aren’t there some indicators? Can’t we develop a ‘pain-o-meter?’ For goodness sake, I’m carrying an Internet capable phone in my pocket, and this blog-post will be available around the world when I hit ‘post.’ The Hubble Telescope looks 10 gazillion light years into the past, and particle accelerators are about to look at the very building blocks of atoms! And all we have is, ‘rate your pain on a scale of one to ten?’
I think we’ve gotten lazy. In our cultural terror of ‘judging,’ in our obsession with the clearly false idea that everyone is always speaking the truth, in our post-enlightenment fantasy that every human, every patient, is basically good, we have simply decided to believe everyone, every time.
In the end, our rush to objective, rational science sometimes banishes common sense and self-evident truth as anachronisms to be ignored, rather than even evaluated for their intrinsic worth to medicine and to mankind.
What a travesty. When I think about it all, it gives me a headache. But don’t worry; it’s only a 4.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/988 | Taking Appropriate Actions in Altercations
Negligence Attorney in Las Vegas, NV
Have you ever encountered an employee of an establishment who was incredibly aggressive for no reason? Maybe you were the employee and you got aggressive because they were doing something they weren’t supposed to or something you didn’t like.
Under the vast majority of instances, when it comes to physical assaults committed by employees against customers, there are few to no justifications and the employee will be seen as in the wrong; this is exactly what employees of a shopping center in Las Vegas near the 215 and Decatur Blvd. thought about a recent shooting committed by a security guard against a homeless man in the complex’s parking lot.
According to News 3 Las Vegas, the two had engaged in an argument shortly after midnight, which at some point during the verbal altercation, the security guard killed him, having shot his gun 6 times.
Police have not released info on the subject of the argument, but it’s highly probable that the security guard will be found at fault, as he was not defending himself from an attack. And even if he was defending himself from the transient’s fists, responding with gun violence still wouldn’t be an appropriate defensive measure.
The law is against “excessive” defensive measures like “bringing a gun to a knife fight,” but even if a minor crime was committed like a trespass, if the issue can be resolved nonviolently by calling the police. Ultimately, one should take the action resulting in the least injuries for both parties.
As it is the job of the metropolitan police to ensure peace while being authorized to use force if necessary, the guard should’ve called police if he wanted the homeless man to be charged or leave by use of force.
Most companies are aware of laws regarding employee altercations with customers, so they have procedures and policies that have freed them of liability in the case of a lawsuit regarding an employee assaulting a customer.
Even if you feel the individual deserves the assault for a reason other than self-defense, you wouldn’t want to be lose your job or be charged with a crime, so make sure you take appropriate actions.
If someone is committing a crime, call the police and leave it to the professionals. If someone is just getting on your nerves, the best thing is to swallow your pride and ignore it. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1003 | Accuracy and Reach
Describes the relationship between accuracy and reach in algorithmic traits.
Accuracy vs Reach: About
It’s important to understand the relationship between accuracy and reach when working with algorithmic traits. Accuracy is represented by a scored value that reflects how similar users are to your baseline. The accuracy scale ranges from 0 (least accurate) to 1 (most accurate). Reach is simply a value that represents the number of unique users you would like to include in a trait. Reach and accuracy are inversely related. Accurate traits reach fewer users and traits with greater reach are less accurate. The following image illustrates this concept.
Accuracy and Reach Affect Audience Size
Your business goals should help you make the right decisions about accuracy and reach when working with algorithmic traits. If accuracy is your goal, note that a trait’s population can increase or decrease across model runs. Population changes are the results of the algorithm making decisions during each evaluation period. Sometimes, the algorithm finds more qualified users during a processing cycle and, during others, it may find fewer. Results are determined by the baseline data used to create the model and new visitors and trait qualifications that have come since the previous model run. By contrast, when working with reach, the user population count remains constant. For example, if you want to reach 10,000 users, the algorithm will make sure it always hits that number for each model run.
General Use Cases for Accuracy vs Reach
The focus on accuracy or reach depends on what you want to achieve with a particular segment. The following table may help you evaluate accuracy vs reach when creating a trait.
Trait Decision Favors Helps Find
Accuracy Users similar to baseline customers in your model. Useful for targeted campaigns when you want to reach a specific audience.
Reach A specific number of users for each data run. Useful for brand campaigns when you’re interested in reaching an audience of a specific size.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1006 | Apply hierarchy views
Hierarchy views are available only when using the Site or HBX application.
The hierarchy view displays the pages in a website organized hierarchically by file name and sorted alphabetically. While useful for analysis itself, the hierarchy view also can be used to set up such advanced visualizations as process maps. For more information about process maps, see Process Maps.
If your dataset has been configured to run on multiple servers in a cluster, for this feature to work properly, your system administrator must designate which machine functions as your Central Normalization Server. For steps to do so, see the Log Processing Configuration File chapter of the Dataset Configuration Guide.
To enable or disable the hierarchy view
• From any page or URI visualization, right-click an element or the label of the page dimension and click Hierarchy View.
An X is shown next to the option when the hierarchy view is active.
The hierarchy is organized into website sections and pages using a tree structure. Sections (nodes) can be expanded or condensed using the + or - symbol next to the section name. Individual pages do not have a + or - symbol next to them.
Masking Dimension Elements in a Hierarchy View
Masking refers to selecting a subset of your data or a subset of the elements in a dimension. You mask or hide those elements that you do not want included in the analysis. Using the Mask menu options for hierarchy views, you select the minimum percentage of a metric that an element must have to be displayed in the visualization.
To mask data using the Mask menu option
1. Right-click an element or the label of the dimension and click Mask.
2. Under More than, click the appropriate percentage, then click the metric that you want to mask.
For example, if you click 0.1%, and then click Page Views, you are masking (hiding) any element that has less than 0.1% of the total number of pages views and displaying any element that has more than 0.1% of the total number of pages views. If you click 0%, you are masking all elements with a value of 0 (zero) for the selected metric.

How to comfort a bereft friend
Human life is full of joys and sorrows. The grieves in our life are related to different types of losses. Numbness, agitation, loneliness, depression, anger, and guilt are few of the common feelings that come with grief. These leave you bereft. Some of the pains are intense, while some can be forgotten easily. It all depends on how the person thinks or is attached emotionally with the thing he lost.
Comforting your loved ones is not an easy task. It is essential to know how you can handle them during the trouble. Let us know how we can comfort or help them during the delicate period of life.
1. Understanding their feelings: It is a must that you should understand a person’s problems before responding. Your empathy will work magically if you can understand the feelings or attachment of a person. Always acknowledge their feelings without any judgment.
2. No comparison: Do not ever compare the grief of one person with that of others. Everyone has a different set of beliefs, emotional bonding, and personal experiences, so the comparison should be avoided completely.
3. Be available: Try to be available whenever they require you. Make a call or put a text that you are available for them. You don’t need to be present physically with them, but sometimes moral support works more.
4. Working with the affirmation: Listen to the person carefully before you start speaking. Don’t go on telling your stories without knowing the actual situation. Understand their grief before giving advice. Always show your genuine support by understanding their circumstances.
5. Don’t suppress their pain: Don’t try to change the topic when you are meeting with a person in trouble. Let them express their emotions without any interruption. Create an environment where they are free to express their feelings because it gives a sense of respect and kindness.
6. Identify the triggering situations: Certain situations such as birthdays and anniversaries can sometimes trigger grief, so know the days when your loved ones need you more.
7. Physical affection only if needed: Comforting someone is good, but know how much physical warmth or touch is required. Your expressions should match the relationship you share.
8. Be sensitive: Use your words very carefully. Think before you act or say something. Give hope that things will be fine soon. Assure and be kind and have compassion whenever you are with them.
9. Be specific while helping: Helping someone in grief is a great idea, but it should not touch emotional boundaries or give a sense of helplessness.
10. Be patient: Be patient with a bereft person. Assure them you are there for them and be patient while dealing with them. A person in grief goes through a lot of emotions, and sometimes they find it challenging to maintain a balance between present and their loss, so be patient and give them space until everything goes well. Everyone needs time to adjust and recover from the grief, so be patient.
11. Give a solution: Give a solution only if they require it. Don’t be in a hurry to pop up with a solution.
Help in as many ways as you can to get your bereft friend back to normal.

1. I was playing call of duty and I noticed with World War 2 it wasn't showing any of the hosts or players connected. I haven't had this happen with any of the other call of duty. Is this happening to anyone else and how could i fix it?

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1046 | I would like to know how I can achieve the following:
1. Load and XML File in the DOM - no problem here
2. Validate the XML file with a Schema - XmlValidatingReader?
3. Access schema data about a node - No idea here...
That is, and this is not supposed to be real code...
Load XML
Validate the XML against XSD
If xmlNode.DataType = String then
end if
for each enumerationType in xmlNode.Enumerations
Again I don't expect the syntax to be anywhere as nice as this, but I would
like to get the details about an XML Nodes schema, including its datatype,
enumerations etc.
Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

Debate Forum Rules
Not open for further replies.
Peter Quill
Sppf Debate Section Rules
I. Thread Creation
For a rather long time threads used to be moderated in the debates section, so that they could be up to the standard of quality that is expected in the section. However, the staff found that there weren't many threads being created at all, and that thread moderation was being more harmful than it was helpful. All threads will show up in the debate section upon creation. That being said, they still have to follow a certain kind of quality and guidelines to ensure that they aren't closed.
• Content: This is a debate section, meaning that there actually has to be something that, well, can be debated. Things like an argument between if the PS4 or the Xbox One is better isn't suited for this section. Do take note, however, that not every thread has to be political in nature. As long as the topic is a divisive issue (and has relevance to many different people in the world) it can be made into a thread here. An example of this would be something like vegetarianism. It's not an insanely political subject, however it's divisive enough of an issue that people can easily have an interesting and wide-spread discussion about it.
• Structure: The way your thread is set up is going to make a big difference on whether it will get closed or not. An example like 'i dont like abortion discuss' is going to get your thread closed. You have to explain what exactly the issue being debated is. And while not necessary, using a context that supports why exactly this is an important issue right now will help other people understand and gives them room to start crafting an argument. While it's not necessary to start off your OP with your opinion on the subject, it's generally considered a good idea because then people can start debating right away.
II. The Actual Rules
1. Follow all Sppf Rules
• This is fairly self-explanatory. While in the debate forum you have to follow the general rules of the forum. You can find a list of the rules here.
2. Read your opponent's source
• The fact that I had to make this a written rule is nothing short of incredible. You can hate your opponent's position as much as you want, but to full out dismiss the sources that they use is incredibly rude. Any instance of people flat-out ignoring a source will be infracted immediately. Quite simply, it's bad forum and makes absolutely no sense because if the source is faulty you should be able to pick out the mistakes and add that to your debate.
3. Do not ignore your opponent
• We're not going to infract you if you just happen to forget to respond to a post or something. Sometimes debates just die out, and we understand that. However, if you are intentionally dodging points when people are asking you to respond to them simply because you are too afraid to admit that you are wrong or something similar we will infract you. It's just bad form.
4. Actually post an argument or something that can be responded to
• This actually comes up a lot and it's sort of ridiculous. If you don't believe in something that's fine, however, you need to actually make a post that contributes to the topic. Saying stuff like "xxx doesn't exist" or "xx is dumb" is going to get you infracted because it does nothing for the debate at hand. If you write a post that's backed up with evidence (hell it doesn't even need to be backed up with evidence as long as there's actual reasoning shown to why you believe your opinion) then you'll be fine.
5. Policies regarding personal attacks and other things similar
• As said before, the debate forum is a place where there are many different opinions. There are also quite the amount of clashing interests and values, so it's obvious that things are going to get heated. While we appreciate neutral posts, we also have better things to do with our time than to police the tone or sarcasm that goes on in posts. People get angry, and things can come out very harshly worded. Unless the posts in question are completely inappropriate (and trust us, moderators know where discretionary boundaries are) you may just have to get thicker skin and take the words at face value.
• Personal attacks, however, should be avoided. Do take careful note on what makes a personal attack though. If someone says something along the lines of "You're completely blinded by xxx" that isn't a personal attack. They're trying to make a point. Once again, we know what constitutes as a personal attack or not. We know when to step in.
• In a similar line of thought, please keep all sort of hateful rants out of the debate forum. We get it if you hate the republicans or whatever, but you're just wasting our time and your time because we aren't reading the rants. Seriously. We're tired of reading stuff like that.
6. Policies regarding the use of sources
• A new feature that we are going to use in the debate forum is the implementation of banned sources. Anything that is found in this thread (link to be added) is not to be used in the debate. We are using this system to ensure quality and to eliminate as much bias as we can.
• If you want to question your source before posting it, or if you'd like to suggest a post to be added to the list please contact one of the debates mods. We will look at it together and decide if the source in question is ok or not. We are good judges of being impartial.
• If you feel that a source someone has posted that is not on the list is too biased for the debate, report the post in question and say so. A moderator will look it over and make a warning that it is and for the person not to use it again. We will not infract because it wasn't on the list. We will, however, infract people if you continually post bad sources despite being warned many different times.
III. Notes on Moderation
Since the regular mods have fewer responsibilities outside of debates, you should try and contact them with questions at first. The chain of command goes from mod to smod to admin. So if you have a problem with how moderation was handled follow that chain (or just send them directly to Ellie ;) )
You also have to know that as a standard rule of thumb, we are not very lenient in this section. We just aren't lenient sort of people. A policy that I really liked from the last rule thread was that we're skipping flaming infractions and going straight for "posting with the intent to annoy others" infraction. Any continued instance of anything that goes against the rules will meet the "continuing to disobey the rules of a specific subforum" infraction as well.
Now that the paperwork is out of the way, happy debating :)

To quote the song, you're not sorry, you're sorry you were caught.
And this is the man who has UK Gov in his pocket. Liverpool had the right idea after Kelvin's TRUTH turned out to be, well, a load of lies.

"has expressed "genuine regret" regarding"
Thereby acknowledging that they sometimes express non-genuine regret, but this time they mean it.
Says in black and white what we all knew all along.
2. Vic
The hacks will get off.
They're bound to have asked someone if what they were doing was OK. Not Andy Coulson, I'm sure, but someone.
That someone will have said something along the lines of "yeah, sure, knock yerself out".
So as they sought advice as to the legality of their actions beforehand, a prosecution is not in the public interest, and the CPS will refuse to prosecute. The twats.
[Yes, I am seething about the CPS' idiocy today]
1. Anomalous Cowturd
PM on Radio 4 this evening...
Said that NotW had allocated a fund of twenty million for payouts, and was going to offer 100k per valid claim. Yet they only named eight people as having had their voicemail "hacked"...
Simple sums equate to two hundred separate claims, so who else is in the picture for a payout?
Enquiring minds etc...
1. Swoop
@ Anomalous Cowturd
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if there turn out to be more than just the eight that were named. Plus, NotW will have taken into consideration the possibility that any or all of the eight may decide to go to court to press for more and it all gets nasty. Or, should I say, nastier.
2. hplasm
Corruption fatigue.
Is it just me, or is anyone else starting to suffer from this?
It seems everybody has their hands in our pockets, their noses in our business or a blank card to do whatever the 4uk they want. And get away with it.

By admitting guilt..

Good point
As I understand it, companies *are* responsible for the actions of their employees. Doubtless they weren't looking for people to fire as long as they were coming up with good stuff. If they were happy to 'look the other way' at the time, their apology now is just one more shovelful of BS.

NoTW case & the BT/Phorm case ... the difference is sickening
This news appearing today at almost the same time as the CPS failing to act over BT and Phorm is sickening in how much it shows how the rich and powerful are protected from spying (in the case of the NoTW) but us peasant serfs of the rich and powerful are not protected in the case of CPS BT/Phorm. So we have this very serious and on going investigation and charges against the News of the World for basically wire tapping and spying. Yet in other news today, BT and Phorm get away with effectively wire tapping style spying on many more people! WTF!
So it really does look like Phorm and BT have rich and powerful friends, whereas the News of the World were pissing off the rich and powerful, by spying on them. So I guess that means us little peasant people don't deserve legal protection. Also shows who the government really protects, their rich and powerful paymasters, but oh no, not us little peasant people. We very evidently are to be exploited by the rich and powerful who spy on us for their gain. Pick any century in more than the past millennia and its this same depressing fucking story! ... The Rich & Powerful get protected, but people like us peasants don't get protected as we peasants exist to be exploited by the Rich & Powerful, so they can get even more Rich & Powerful. :(
I guess the NoTW know they are screwed and the Rich & Powerful people going after them are not going to back down, so they are now offering to settle. Shame we can't get BT/Phorm to do the same. So much for Article 1 of the Declaration of Human Rights. NoTW punished, BT/Phorm not punished, yet Article 1 of the Declaration of Human Rights states "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.". So much for All human beings, equal in dignity and rights. Which is the primary principle of the Declaration of Human Rights.
If it wasn't for the technological aspects of these stories, the utter hypocrisy of the government and legal system in how it differs in these news stories, it would sound like a case from hundreds of years ago, back when the rich and powerful were protected and people like us peasants were not protected, (exactly like today!) ... oh thanks very much :( ... so much for progress... Thanks legal system because today it feels like us peasants are to be treated like scum to be stepped on and abused by the rich and powerful for their gain. :( ... Is it any wonder people all around the world are getting angry and very tired of the relentlessly Narcissistic self-interest of our ruling classes, when the way the law treats us is like hundreds of years ago!
Thats what this NoTW story means to me, it makes me feel like Baldrick!

Non, je ne regrette rien

"[Our] pride in our award-winning journalism remains undiminished."
Either this is the illegal stuff, in which case they may geniuninely regret it but, hey, they're proud of it all the same ... Or this is the legal stuff they were doing around the same time, which they had so little pride in that they resorted to breaking the law in order to find something better.
Either way, it is hard for me to parse this sentence in a way that is flattering to NotW. You'd think that men and women of letters could manage a better public statement, wouldn't you? Says it all really.

Or.. their pride in their journalism was already zero, and so is undiminished now.
17. Fred Flintstone Gold badge
I'm so glad ..
.. I developed countermeasures for these idiots.
The problem is not the NotW, the problem is that the risk/reward balance is totally out of whack - see BT Phorm. If it had not been for a couple of people who have a better bank balance than NotW they would have gotten away with it.
Your average Jo Blow would not have the funds to engage in litigation, whereas for NotW (and others) litigation is called "the cost of doing business".
This sort of stuff should attract obligatory jail sentences.

Who needs pride on at least £60k PA.
I think a working theory of the tax thresholds under NuLabor were basically set to ensure that NotW and Sun journalists would be kept sweet.
Wouldn't want any of the Diggers merry men upset about supporting Tony Blair.
BTW Merkins who think their journalists are noble seekers-after-truth should be aware of where the National Enquirer recruits from.

"Our pride in our journalism remains undiminished"
The NoTW said this? With a straight face??
For those who don't know the paper and think it's a quality newspaper, its alternative name is 'News of the Screws'
Past editors include that well known pillar of the community, Piers Moron ^h^h^h^h^h Morgan
Easier to believe someone has "regrets" when they are gazing through a prison door.

Thumb Down
Is no one else bother that the press insist on calling this a hack? Since all you need to access most voice mail is the pin which for most is initially set to a fixed value and the phone number of the mailbox, how is accessing this a "hack"?
I know celeb A's phone number, an Orange number.
What are the chances they have changed the original PIN (Orange use "1234").
Ring 07973 100123 enter the celeb's number, enter 1234 and listen to the messages.
Have I just committed an offence by publishing the complicated, technically demanding, heart stoppingly complicated procedure?
Or are there just a lot of really stupid celebs/politicians/captains of industry? (I mean other than footballers.)

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1057 | Langstone Transceiver 70mhZ TO 6Ghz (now with 10ghz / 24GHZ support also)
Langstone SDR Transceiver Software by Colin G4EML
My Langstone/Portsdown4
This is an experimental project to produce a simple VHF, UHF and Microwave SDR Transceiver operating on SSB, AM, CW and FM. with a watefall spectrum display, support for QO-100 / Satellite operation and Transverter IF’s.
It was inspired by the very successful Portsdown Amateur Television system created by the British Amateur Television Club.
This is now available merged with the BATC Portsdown DATV transmitter and the Longmynd DATV receiver. So that a Narrowband and DATV transceiver work on the same platform. “Very Cool”. The Portsdown DATV side of the project is known as Portsdown 4 & currently supports (DATV Express, Adalm Pluto, Lime SDR USB and Mini). Rob M0DTS has contributed by adding a waterfall and band scope display.
Currently only one set of hardware is supported:-
• Raspberry Pi 4
• Official Raspberry Pi 7″ touchscreen.
• Adalm Pluto SDR Module
• USB Audio module. Connected to loudspeaker or headphones and microphone.
• USB Scroll mouse
• PTT via Raspberry Pi GPIO pin 11. This needs a pull up resistor to 3.3V. Grounding this pin will switch to Transmit.
• CW Key is via Raspberry Pi GPIO pin 12. This needs a pull up resistor to 3.3V. Grounding this pin will key the transmitter.
• Tx Output is via Raspberry Pi GPIO pin 40. This output goes high when the Langstone is transmitting. This can be used to switch antenna relays and amplifiers. (100ms delay included for sequencing)
• 4 Band select Outputs on pins 31, 24, 7 and 6. These can be used to select external filters, amplifiers or Transverters. The state of these outputs is defined using the Band Bits setting.
To build a complete functional transceiver you will need to add suitable filters, preamplifiers and power amplifiers to the Adalm Pluto.
All control is done using the touchscreen and mouse.
Tuning uses the mouse scrollwheel. The mouse left and right buttons select the tuning step. The centre button is used for the CW key. Mouse movement is not used.
A mouse is used to provide the tuning input because it effectively hands the task of monitoring the tuning knob to a seperate processor (in the mouse). Rotary encoders can be tricky to handle reliably in linux.
It is easy to modify a cheap mouse by disconnecting the existing switches and wiring the PCB to larger switches on the Langstone front panel. The scroll wheel can likewise be replaced with a panel mounted tuning knob.
Microphone input and headphone output uses the USB audio device. (a couple of pounds on Ebay)
The software consists of two parts. The SDR itself uses a python GNURadio Flowgraph which can be created on a PC running GNUradio companion. This Python program is manually edited to adding the code from so it can be controlled by the GUI part of the software. This is written in C and communicates with GNURadio using a Linux Pipe.
Langstone has been updated to add some new experimental features.
New setup menu entries for harmonic mixing.
It is now possible to set harmonic values of 1 to 5 on both transmit and receive. By setting a value of 5 it is possible to receive and transmit on 10GHz. The frequency display is set to the 10GHz frequency and the Pluto then operates at 2GHz and uses the 5th harmonic of the LOs. Output power is very low (about -30dbm) and needs to be externally filtered to remove the fundamental signal. Receive noise figure is likewise about 30db and needs an external preamp and filtering. As it stands, without filtering or amplification it is not of much use other than short range local testing. Filtering can be as simple as feeding into a waveguide antenna. That will effectively remove the 2GHz signal which will be well below cutoff.
Re: Extending Langstone to include 10GHz (and 24GHz!)
Post by g4eml » Sat Oct 03, 2020 2:19 pmI have just tested my Langstone set for 24GHz and can confirm that it does work!
Both transmit and receive working OK to my transverter with open waveguide on the other side of the shack with no antennas on the Pluto.
I am sure the transmit power and receive sensitivity will be quite low compared to a ‘proper’ rig but it is certainly usable as a test source and monitor receiver. Also I suspect the main signal route may be directly into and out of the chip rather than through the antenna connectors. The losses through the internal transformers must be quite high.
Unfortunately I don’t have any 24GHz test gear to properly check the performance.
Just set the Tx and Rx offsets to zero , the Tx and Rx harmonic to 5 and the frequency to 24048.100
It will of course still also be radiating and receiving at 4.8 GHz so, like 10GHz, external filtering would be needed.

Each convention lamp on a dimmer usually needs one control channel. LED lights need at least three (for red, green, and blue) but some take more. Moving lights use multiple channels to control their various functions, our stock ranges from 8 to 16 channels. For some events it can be useful to build a cue stack, with each scene appearing in order. Some concerts are better served with multiple submasters for flexible, hands-on control. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1072 | 2 Way vs 3 Way Speaker, Which Is Better
Confused Choosing 2 Way vs 3 Way Speaker, Which Is Better Between the Two
2 Way vs 3 Way Speaker Gnewscar today – When someone wants to change the car audio will definitely think to choose 2 Way or 3 Way Speaker, actually what are the advantages of these two types of components, here we will try to explain the difference from 2 Way and 3 Way speakers so you do not need to re-choose the option.
Actually if there is a question which one is better between 2-way or 3-way speakers all have advantages and disadvantages of each, All back again to people who use what tastes like. The question is, which is better between the two speaker configurations?.
Speaker material and average output or RMS become important variables in choosing speakers. High-performance 2-way speakers will outperform mediocre 3-way speakers, however, 3-way speakers have the potential to outperform 2-way speakers in terms of sound detail and complexity when the quality of the speakers used is equivalent.
As Engineers, of course we meet with speakers to monitor, mix, master, or just listen to fun (listening to music). Speakers or speakers have different specifications. This article we will discuss the differences in 2 way and 3 way speakers.
2 Way Speaker
The speaker has 2 speaker systems namely tweeter and mid bass. Tweeter is useful for producing high frequency sound (3 kHz – 20 kHz). Then mid bass to produce sound with frequency below 3 kHz. What is lacking 2 way speakers is because the mid bass speaker is to produce middle and low frequencies (30-160 Hz) together.
2-way Speaker configuration, using two types of speakers, namely midbass and tweeter.
3 Way Speaker
Well, for the 3 way speaker. This type of speaker has an additional system that is useful for producing only mid range sound. Each system has its own task with a clearer division. Because the difference in the size of the speaker / woofer also affects the frequency produced. For the reasons above can be an advantage of 3 way speakers.
3-way Speaker configuration, there are additional speakers called midrange.
In dimensions, the smallest tweeter. Then the midrange with a much larger size, and the biggest midbass among the three
Frequency RangeWhat type of sounds
Very Lowunder 30HzBottom notes on a pipe organ, rumble of explosion – Subwoofer only
Low30Hz to 160HzBass Tuba, Bass Guitar – Woofer
Mid160Hz to 3kHzHuman voice, Trumpet, Sax – Woofer or Midrange
High3kHz to 20,kHzCymbals, Piccolo – Tweeter
Audio Crossovers
In addition to considering using 2 Way vs 3 Way Speaker that is not less important is the crossovers that function to divide the sound based on frequency, it is needed the name of the crossover.
This crossovers regulates the incoming sound signal, then shares it with the speaker. For 2 way speakers, the crossover divides the sound with high frequency to the tweeter, then the mid range and low sound is sent to the woofer (midbass). Well, for 3 way speakers, the distribution of sound is more organized because of a special system for the mid range.
After knowing the differences and advantages of 2 Way vs 3 Way Speaker, surely you have no difficulty in determining the best choice for your car. |

Check This Component If The Power Windows Does Not Working
Power Windows Does Not Working, gNewscar – power windows is used to increase the glass automatically. The latest car has been using this power windows so that the concentration of the driver will not split because there is no need to turn the car’s knob to open the glass just by pressing the power windows.
How To Fix Power Windows Does Not Working
If the power windows does not work, the glass will not function properly. When the windshield jams directly accuses the power windows of being the cause, even though not all of it is caused by the power windows where some of it can be caused by reel and rubber the glass part is dirty and not elastic anymore. On this occasion we will discuss what causes the power windows to not working like this:
Power Windows Motor Damaged
The first cause is that the motor power windows is damaged. The power windows motor is located at the door for the purpose of driving the regulator. When this part is damaged it will cause the regulator to be disturbed so that the glass will not be able to go up and down. The cause of damage to the motor window itself is due to the copper dynamo which is damaged due to electrical short circuit.
Broken Fuse
The next cause is caused by a damaged electrical fuse. Because it is included in the electronic components, this power windows has a fuse, its function is to minimize the electrical short circuit in the car. If the fuse in the power windows is broken will cause all the windshield can not be opened. A broken fuse must be repaired immediately because it can be fatal where a short circuit will get worse and cause the car to catch fire.
The Switch is Broken
power windowss can die due to a faulty switch. The faulty switch is caused by an electrical short circuit that occurs in the car and can also be caused by a worn plastic switch. When the switch is broken you must immediately replace it with a new one.
Hardened Grease
The reason the power windows doesn’t work next is hardened grease. This grease is also called grease or lubricant. Grease which should be a lubricant can harden like clay and inhibit the function or performance of the power windows. The cause of hardening is because the car is often parked outside and is often sun-dried in the parking lot. Maintenance is rarely suspected to be the cause of the hardened grease and blocking the power windows function.

Checking the Electricity Power Windows
The cause of the power window could be due to the electrical system on the power window that is shorted or maybe the fuse is broken. If this happens, generally the power window will turn off completely. For broken fuses can be replaced new. But if there is a power window electrical system that is broken, you can check the following components:
Check the Switch Voltage
Check the voltage of the power windows switch. Check the voltage drop if it comes from the power windows if you can clean the switch’s contacts. Alternatively you have to replace the power windows with a new one.
Check the voltage on the ignition
You can check the condition of the ignition voltage with the ON position. Immediately make a comparison of the voltage when standing by from the battery with the voltage at the IG or ACC terminal when the ignition is ON. If you find a large voltage disparity is possible when meeting the power windows load or other load voltage can decrease greater. To be able to overcome this can be done by cleaning the ignition switch section or it could be by replacing the existing cable terminals.
Check the voltage drop
The last step that can be done is to check the voltage drop in the power windows fuse. If there is a drop in the voltage or voltage, make sure that the fuse socket is hygienic from some crusty and loose dirt. Thus some of the causes of the power windows does not working that you should be aware of, hopefully this information is useful. |

5 More Easy, Natural Ways To Keep Bugs Away Outdoors
Warm evenings are just made for outdoor living. Your patio is the perfect space to relax with friends. It's one of the most comfortable places in your home.
But then again, there's the bugs.
Biting bugs can put a damper on your patio fun. Mosquitoes, gnats, and flies are called pests for a good reason. So what's your strategy to keep bugs away outdoors?
Our last post showed off 4 natural ways to repel bugs. But there are quite a few more methods you can use.
Here are 5 more easy, natural ways to banish bugs – without smelly chemicals.
1. Spray with Hydrogen Peroxide
Fill a spray bottle with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 2 parts water. Shake it up until it's well-mixed. Then, spray your patio, the furniture, and around the edges with a fine mist.
For best effect, lay it on thick where you'll be sitting later on. You'll never smell it – but those pests will hate it.
1. Use Dryer Sheets
Dryer fabric softener sheets are a known midge repellent. We're not quite sure what they hate about the smell, but the fact that they do is enough for us.
Just rub a sheet or two on the patio furniture where you're sitting. If you have a ton of midges around, you might even want to rub it on your arms and legs to keep the nasty little critters from biting.
1. Spray Repellent Oils
Essential oils have many uses. We love their smell, so when we learned that they're a bug repellent, we signed right up. Here's one formula:
1. Pour 4-5 ounces of witch hazel into a mister bottle
1. Add 4-5 drops each of:
1. Citronella
1. Eucalyptus
1. Lavender
1. Shake softly to mix
Now you're ready to spray the mixture on yourself or around your patio to keep mosquitoes and other pests away. Just remember not to spray it on your food. They have tasty names, but some undiluted essential oils are too harsh to ingest.
For a change of pace, you might consider anise oil. Just fill a spray bottle with water and add a few drops of anise oil (natural, not the artificial version).
Anise is a potent oil, so be careful to only add a few drops. Then, spray the mixture all over your patio furniture and surfaces.
1. Change Your Outdoor Lighting
White lights are a huge attraction to bugs. They're like teenagers when a new rollercoaster opens up. Or am I dating myself? Maybe they're like teens when a new social app comes out. But I digress.
To keep your lights from attracting pesky attention, replace them with yellow or sodium vapor lights. They're not as prone to draw bugs.
Another idea is to use LED lighting, which is also less likely to attract insects.
1. Run a Fan
Mosquitoes aren’t strong fliers. In fact, they're weaklings. That's in our favor. If you set up a strong fan at one end of your patio, your itch-inducing pests won't be able to stay in one spot long enough to bite.
For insurance, you can even set up fans at two sides of your patio and create a crosswind.
There's a side benefit, as well. Fans disperse the carbon dioxide you exhale. And that's what attracts mosquitoes to you in the first place.
Pesky bugs can make summer evenings less inviting. And you don't have to put up with them any longer.
By using a few of these natural bug repellants, you'll be able to relax on your patio comfortably – all summer long.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1110 | Reconcile question numbers across waves
Updated at July 22nd, 2020
Question numbers and response values sometimes change between waves of a survey. This tutorial shows ways you can reconcile question numbers to compare results across waves.
Ideally, question numbers and response options would mean the same thing in each waves.If If new questions and response options are added, they get new identifiers. If questions or response options are dropped, those would be retired and not repurposed in later waves.
But in practice, things aren't always this simple. So you can use Protobi data processes to reconcile question numbers and response options so they are consistent for each wave.
An effective way to start is to create a worksheet with a list of questions and responses as rows, and showing their identifiers in each wave.
We refer to this process as "mapping" questions. This tutorial demonstrates how such a mapping can be read and applied programmatically in Protobi.
A simpler example of stacking waves of data is in this tutorial Combine data.
In this example there are two data tables, wave2 and wave1. We created a project with the wave2 data, and now we want to bring in all data columns from the first wave. However, two data columns have been renamed in wave2. Since the questions are the same from the previous wave, we would like Protobi to recognize values from the wave 1 file as values for the two renamed data columns in the wave2 file.
Step 1: Create a file that connects questions
First we create a CSV file that contains four columns. The first column contains the names of all the data columns we want to bring in from the first wave, and the second column contains any data labels associated with the data columns. The last two columns have the corresponding variables from the wave 2 datafile.
This table lists all column names. In this example there are only two changes, "price" in wave 1 changed to "sales price" in wave 2, and "mpg" changed to "milespergallon":
Step 2: Upload the file as a data table
Next, upload the CSV file you created into project data as a new data table. Here we've named the data table "element_mapping".
Step 3: Create a data process
Now we will need to create a data process that references the CSV file to match data columns from the prior wave with the data columns in the current wave.
Note the process needs to be set as the primary datafile for the project.
Code to connect questions
This is the code seen in the image above. After you run the code, you will see that values from prior wave data columns that have been renamed will be connected to the current wave's data columns.
var rows = data.main; //Current datafile in main
var prior_wave = data.wave_1; //Prior wave(s) datafile
var element_mapping = data["element_mapping"] //Mapping file for fields to bring in
prior_wave.forEach(function(row){ //Assign wave variable as needed
row.wave = 1;
row.wave = 2;
prior_wave.forEach(function(row){ //For each prior_wave record
var new_row = {} //Create a new row
new_row.wave = row.wave; //Bring in wave information
element_mapping.forEach(function(map){ //Bring in all columns listed in the mapping file
new_row[map["w2_variable"]]= row[map["w1_variable"]]
rows.push(new_row) //Add the newly create row(s) to current datafile
return rows;

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1135 | How to Control the Brightness of Your iPhone’s Flashlight
Apple iPhone flashlight controls
Aleksey Khilko/Shutterstock
It’s probably no surprise for any iPhone owner that you can use the LED flash on the back of your iPhone as a flashlight. Apple has included the shortcut in Control Center since iOS 7. But did you know you can control the brightness of your iPhone flashlight? Here’s how.
First, launch Control Center on your iPhone using one of the two methods listed here:
• iPhone X or newer: Swipe down from the top-right edge of the screen.
• iPhone SE and iPhone 8 or earlier: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
When Control Center appears on your screen, tap and hold the flashlight icon. (Your exact arrangement of Control Center icons will vary depending on how you have customized it.)
RELATED: How to Customize Your iPhone or iPad’s Control Center
Tap the flashlight icon in iPhone Control Center to turn it on.
After holding the icon for a moment, you’ll see a new screen with a flashlight icon on top and a large five-segment slider in the middle. The top segment means maximum flashlight brightness, and the bottom one means the flashlight is completely turned off.
The iPhone Flashlight adjustment slider
To change your flashlight brightness, hold and move your finger up and down along the slider. Or simply tap the segment corresponding to the level you’d like. Be warned that brighter settings will run your iPhone’s battery down faster.
Slide your finder on the iPhone adjustment gauge to adjust brightness.
When you have it set how you like, tap the screen once and the slider will disappear, but the flashlight will remain lit. To turn the flashlight off, launch Control Center again (if necessary) and tap the highlit flashlight icon.
Tap the flashlight icon in iPhone Control Center to turn it off.
The next time you tap the Control Center flashlight icon to turn it on, it will default to the last brightness setting you set on the slider.
Now you might be wondering: If you can manually adjust the brightness of the flashlight, how bright is it normally? By default, your iPhone flashlight turns on to the lowest setting, equivalent to one segment of brightness on the manual scale, which Apple probably sets to conserve battery life.
We hope this sheds some light on the subject!

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1160 | The joy of God in your life
This life is always full of drama. There are so many things that constantly seek to rob us of joy. People will discourage us and circumstances can distract us from what God wants us to enjoy.
Unless you purposely counter those challenges daily, with the help of the Holy Spirit, your mind and body will simply give in to the pressures around you.
But there is way that you can prevent that entire malady from traipsing around in your life.
The Bible calls that armour of God: Joy. That is the most powerful amour against the perils of the world. No darkness or hardships can suppress it.
Through Joy, you have the power to shift your perspective so that if something terrible is happening around you, you don’t have to succumb to it.
Unfortunately, most of us have let ourselves slack and forgot that we have a right to choose. We have surrendered to circumstances and we have held on to sorrow; instead of continuously flowing with the joy of the Lord.
But life is not meant to be endured; it is meant to be enjoyed.
Philippians 4:4 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" You are to rejoice in the Lord always. That is when times are good or bad, happy or sad.
And this right, this privilege, and this power to DECIDE has been left by God in your hands.
You have a right to choose how you want to spend your life on earth. We all have burdens, but we can choose to respond in despair or in joy. The choice is really up to you.
Joy is the key to your victory. Pursue it with everything in you.
And Satan is after it and he will do whatever it takes to rob you of it. He may be able to attack you but he has no power to steal your joy.
The joy of God in your life
But you can surrender that power to him.
That is why you don’t have to accept everything that comes your way as a fact or the Gospel truth. Check everything against the Word of God.
And if there is no joy, there is no victory.
Pursue God. Fight to become the woman filled with joy. Your life is dependent on it.
The book of Hebrews 12:2 tells us that as Jesus looked forward towards the cross and then beyond it, He saw the joy that was set before Him.
This is the joy that compelled Him to go before the cross and endure the suffering and shame.
So next time when you are experiencing sorrow and sadness, when the tears are flowing, remember these can be stepping stones to experiencing the joy of the Lord.
But be warned, it won't happen automatically. You have to “continuously” give yourself to the things and ways of God (Matthew 6:33).
Focus your attention on God and His plan for your life.
Abide in Him and then you will be able to keep your joy. |

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1186 | God’s Righteousness
Righteousness. What is it?
True righteousness is defined by God, displayed by God according to His word. According to His word, the Bible, there is only one who is righteous, and that is God. Jesus even said,
“There is none good but one, God” Matthew 19:17; Mark 10:18
and that is a fair thought for the word righteousness; one who does what is good and right. Do not put yourself on a pedestal thinking this describes you. Keep in mind that truly only God is good.
The Jews down through the years sought righteousness through the obedience to the law. The religious leaders even made it more and more complicated by adding loopholes, to ease the way for themselves while condemning the people.
God displayed His righteousness and holiness as He judged His only Son Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. The righteousness of Jesus Christ was on display there as He became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21), taking the full judgment for our sin; becoming unrighteousness; and then He gives to us His righteousness.
This would all mean nothing though if He had not risen from the dead. Because of the work of the righteous Son of God on the cross, His burial, and resurrection when we call on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:13) He declares us righteous and just (Romans 5:1-2)
We have no righteousness of our own. We, by good living, doing good to others, even going to church or our places of worship cannot be made righteous. We are only righteous as we call on the name of the Lord, and trust only in Him.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1219 | Meaning of Life: What In the World Does God Want From Me? 4/10
For the past three days, I have been writing about the meaning of life. Today, I will be taking a look at question number 4. I hope you find this topic, Meaning of Life, as important as I do. Thank you for taking the time to consider these kind of questions.
Q4/10: Where should we begin in order to understand the meaning of life from a biblical perspective? If the goal in life is to have perfect happiness, where does one begin? In order to know and delight in the Lord our God, how does one begin that process? Is it ever too late to begin?
It might seem obvious to a Christian where one would begin in order to understand the meaning of life from a biblical perspective. We need to refer to the Bible in order to gain an understanding from a biblical perspective. Let me point out that the Bible is not just a historical document consisting of numerous books. It has been written over a thousand years, written by over forty authors, and preserved so accurately, that the copies we have today match the earliest copies that exist. For example, the Dead Sea Scroll discovery proves that the Old Testament we have today matches exactly as to what was written before the life of Christ. By carefully using textual criticism, we can be certain the New Testament we have today also matches the earliest Greek manuscripts. Our Bible today is not corrupt. It has not been changed over time. The authors were holy men of God who wrote the Scriptures as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.
The theme of redemption runs throughout the entire book, a love story where God demonstrated his love and grace from the beginning of time. Holy men of God preserved and protected the scrolls decade after decade. Copies were carefully made, word for word, in a publishing process so foreign to us in this day and age. When we refer to the Bible to get a biblical perspective, we are looking to verses and passages that have been given to us by the power of the Holy Spirit. When we look to the Author of Life for the meaning of life, we will begin with knowing the divine plan. This is also called knowing God’s will.
Over the past three days, we have discovered that the ultimate goal in life is to have perfect happiness. Many people go about it the wrong way, though. Even though some people think that happiness is only something that comes and goes, it was Aquinas who clarified the misconception by explaining out that pleasures come and go, but perfect happiness can be here to stay. Psalm 146:5 says, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God.”Aquinas goes on to describe the nature of perfect happiness. He stated that perfect happiness is in knowing and delighting in the divine essence of His presence. In order to do begin that process, we need to begin knowing the divine essence. The study of how we know what we know is called epistemology. In Proverbs 3:13, it says, “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.”
Jesus said that His purpose is to give us life and for us to have life more abundantly (John 10:10). This abundant life is found when a person looks to the Lord for daily guidance. Jesus said that we will have troubles in this world, but He also encouraged us to put our confidence in Him since He overcame the world. He meets us right where we are at and helps us every step of the way (John 6:33). We hear stories every now and then of famous people who feel lonely, drunk people who hit rock bottom, inmates who admit they followed their own way, rich people who feel empty, and high achievers who feel unsatisfied. In order to be perfectly happy, there must be some way to find it. Jesus described it like this. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matt. 7:13-14).
Since the Lord our God wants us to know and delight ourselves in Him, it makes sense to make it a priority to know His nature, His character, and His work. Our next step will be to take a closer look at the work of His will. Tomorrow, we will begin to unfold the mystery of knowing God’s will and how it really makes all the difference in knowing the meaning of life.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1226 | Chapter One
Until the day her older brother, Guido, went away to teach at the Cathedral School, Bella knew exactly what the end of the world would feel like.
It would be like breaking through a roof and being lowered into a crowded house. She would finally see as well as everyone else, like the paralytic on a pallet. She would see Papa again and he would take her around the golden city where everyone lives when this world ends.
But now that Bella’s older brother was leaving home for good, the end of the world sounded lonely. It might be hard to find your place there, as a latecomer.
In Guido’s honor, Mamma had put on her best red overtunic and covered her shining, black hair with a red cloth worked in silver thread. Bella’s unruly hair stuck out from her coif and the wind tugged at it.
The herringbone bricks of their street led from the heart of Arezzo, past their house, to the top of the hill, and the city wall. They had said good-bye to Guido in their hall, at their own gate, and at the top of their street. But they kept on to the north gate, to walk a little longer together.
Beyond the north gate was the outside world.
Bella had seen twelve feasts of the Lamb and was really too old to cling to her brother’s hand in the street, but she couldn’t help it. Ever since Papa died, Guido had been her music teacher.
He gave her a half-smile and his warm, brown eyes encouraged her to learn this new lesson too. “Do you think my choirboys will sing the psalms backwards the way you do in Mass?”
Her words had dried up this morning. She shook her head and tried not to think about the choirboys who would take her place. Someday Guido might be Bishop of Arezzo, but what would she be without him?
Her unruly hair stuck out from her coif and the wind tugged at it.
Mamma kissed his cheek in her graceful way and Bella tried to smile. The weight sitting on her chest wouldn’t let her speak. She put her farewell gift in his hand.
The tiny scroll contained the letters of his name, as beautifully as she could write them: G-U-I-D-O. He ran a finger over the picture of their fig tree and shot her a quizzical smile. “Sing it for me.”
Good. He’d recognized the psalm in her drawing. She took a deep breath. Her lip trembled, but her voice ran lightly down his best qualities in a featherlight dance of quavers and semi-quavers, just as he’d taught her. A good man is like a tree growing strong next to rushing water.
“Well done.” Mamma clapped her hands and her eyes were too bright.
“Flawless.” Guido pinched Bella’s shoulder. “You little flatterer.” He swung her around in the old way, but he stumbled. “Ooooph! This nightingale’s too heavy.”
Bella pressed her cheek against his arm. He tugged a spiral of her hair, kissed Mamma, and passed through the gate.
The next morning, the bells rang for None, but Bella still lay in bed. The dullness from Guido’s leaving had settled into a sick feeling in her stomach. She opened the bed curtains, but the air in the solar was stale with old smoke. Mamma and Felicità were in the courtyard below, loudly sorting everything from Guido’s chamber.
They didn’t need Bella’s help, so she wandered into the hall. In the corner, a dog chewed on a bone and a forlorn hen from the courtyard picked its way through the rushes. Bella went up on the dais, trailed her fingers down the head table, and came to a dead stop.
A book lay open at Mamma’s place.
The hall was too dark to see it properly. No tapers were lit on the dais at this time of day and the hearth fire had nearly gone out. Bella poked it into bright flames and pulled the book down in her lap. The weight of it pushed against the ache in her stomach.
It couldn’t have come from Guido’s chamber. He didn’t own a book.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1233 | Selecting Single Elements Lab
Welcome to your first lab! Please read this entire readme. We'll try to only include information to help you. This way, we won't waste your time and will allow you to get to the coding as fast as possible.
We are going to continue with our search engine that pulls identifying information from Wikipedia. As you remember, Aardvark created a search engine such that when a user asked a question, the program would look to Wikipedia to pull related information about the question topic.
Your task
In the last section, we pulled the header, the text from the first link and the href from the first link. In this section we are going to pull the same information, but from a different simplified Wikipedia page. Since this is a lab we are going to complete our final code in the JavaScript tab of the CodePen below. You will work in the Browser Console to discover what the final solution will be, but to complete the lab, you must put your completed code in the JavaScript Tab of the CodePen.
The rules of the lab
OK, let's explain how to pass this lab, and stick this bad boy on your refrigerator for all the world to see.
Go ahead and select the JavaScript tab and you'll see some JavaScript code
//Enter querySelector Code here
console.log(`The header is: ${header}`)
console.log(`The first link text is: ${linkText}`)
console.log(`The first link href is: ${linkHref}`)
Let's take a look at what is going on.
The first three lines are variable definitions. Variables in JavaScript are just like you remember them in Algebra. They are simply names for some sort of data. The = sign assigns whatever is on the right side to be held inside of whatever is on the left side. With the default code the phrase "ENTER HEADER CODE HERE" is held inside of the header variable.
Back in the codepen above, open your Console by right clicking in the HTML preview section (you may need to click on the "Result" tab to see what is outlined in red in the screenshot below). From the drop-down, select "Inspect."
Screenshot of Selecting the Console
You should see a console appear at the bottom or on the side (it doesn't matter) of your browser that looks like this:
Screenshot of Selecting the Console
The first link text is: ENTER LINK TEXT CODE HERE
The first link href is: ENTER LINK HREF CODE HERE
This is outputted by the console.log lines in the CodePen. The CodePen is outputting text to our Browser Console. Here is the code in the JavaScript tab of the CodePen that outputs to the Browser Console.
console.log is a tool we use to output text to our console. Makes sense right? Above I told you that currently the header variable contains "ENTER HEADER CODE HERE". The first console.log looks like this:
This outputs The header is: ENTER HEADER CODE HERE to the Browser Console. Do you see what happened there? The ${header} took the contents of header and made sure they were sent to the console.
Our task in this lab is to modify the three variables to be the correct querySelector to select the correct elements. You'll know you have selected the correct elements when your Browser Console says:
The header is: Adele Goldberg
The first link text is: computer scientist
The first link href is:
All Together Now
We are going to do the first one together, then you'll do the second two on your own. Here is your first task:
Write the querySelector to grab the header, then use innerHTML to grab the contents of the header. You should put that code in the JavaScript tab of the CodePen where it says "ENTER HEADER CODE HERE". Be sure to replace the quotes as well. If everything worked as planned your Browser Console will output The header is: Adele Goldberg
The first variable asks for the querySelector line for the header. Using the same technique you learned in the previous lesson, inspect the element and find out the id attribute of the header. It should be header. Great, now in the Console (be sure to change the top dropdown to CodePen Preview) type document.querySelector("#header"). That should return the correct header. This time though I want just the words "Adele Goldberg". To get just the words in an h1 tag we are going to use the innerHTML attribute.
There are a lot of attributes out there. Don't memorize them, just google around when you can't remember!
Back in the console type:
That should return "Adele Goldberg". Now, let's get it into our CodePen and make sure the Console is logging correctly.
Modify the first line of code to be:
var header = document.querySelector("#header").innerHTML
Looking at the console, you should see the updated logging.
The header is: Adele Goldberg
The first link text is: ENTER LINK TEXT CODE HERE
The first link href is: ENTER LINK HREF CODE HERE
NOTE: When an error appears in the Chrome JavaScript console, you'll notice that the error message stays visible in the console even after you've modified the code in the CodePen. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can sometimes get a bit confusing if we're working on troubleshooting a new error and a bunch of old error messages are still cluttering up the console. Handily enough, Chrome provides a sweet built-in function, clear(), for clearing the JavaScript console. Simply enter clear() into the Chrome console and everything will disappear, replaced with a Console was cleared message.
As programmers, we need to get familiar with breaking things. In fact, as programmers, our code will spend most of it's life not working until suddenly we get a complex set of interactions right so that it is working. As a programmer thinking of yourself in "broken-land" and rejoicing only when you hit "working-land" will help you and your ego. Think about it: if you're coding while stressing about having moved from "working-land" to "broken-land" you're going to experience stress. Start from the opposite assumption and you're going to spend your days pleasantly surprised!
A key help in moving us from "broken-land" to "working-land" are errors that appear in the Chrome console. Let's start with a common one.
What if we'd changed our code to be like this:
var header = document.querySelector("#personName-header").innerHTML
If we look in the HTML source, we'll see that there's no element with an id of attribute "personName-header". So our call to querySelector() will return nothing. So if you ask nothing for it's innerHTML attribute, would you expect the browser to say a "broken" thing or a "working" thing?
Try changing your code and see:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of null
at VM43 pen.js:2
Well null is like nothing. So the browser is telling us it couldn't find the innerHTML property on null. Does that kind of seem like the error you might have imagined up above?
Errors are our friends, here in "broken-land." Let them guide you.
If you're not sure how to interpret an error, take a look at this comprehensive guide to errors at MDN
On Your Own
You've successfully completed the first question. Now, using what you've learned solve the next two problems:
1. Using the document.querySelector and text attribute, set the linkText variable to equal the text of the first link, which is "computer scientist". This will be just like you did in the previous README. If done correctly, your console will output the first link text is: computer scientist.
2. Using the document.querySelector and href attribute, set the linkHref variable to equal the href of the first link, which is "". This will also be just like you did in the previous README. If done correctly, your console will output The first link href is:

Now that Windows 10 Mobile is dead, Microsoft doesn’t officially make a smartphone operating system anymore. But the company does have a version of Windows 10 designed for tablets and laptops with ARM-based processors… and hackers have been finding ways to make it run on smartphones for the past year or so. But while it’s gotten […]
Installing Windows 10 on a Lumia 950 XL smartphone just got a lot easier
Now that there’s a desktop version of Windows 10 designed to run on laptops and tablets with ARM processors, it’s unsurprising that a handful of hackers have found ways to shoehorn Windows 10 onto old smartphones that had originally shipped with Windows Mobile software. But up until now it’s been pretty tough to follow along […]
Sure, why not run Fallout on a smartphone (by installing Windows 10 on ARM)?
In case you missed it, earlier this month hackers released tools that make it possible to hack pretty much any smartphone that ever shipped with Windows 10 Mobile. With Microsoft having largely abandoned its mobile operating system, that opens the possibility of replacing Windows 10 Mobile with a full-fledged desktop operating system like Windows 10 […]
Now you can install Windows RT on recent Lumia phones (if you dare)
It’s been a few weeks since a new build of Windows Phone Internals made it possible to unlock the bootloader for most Lumia smartphones, and ever since the tool was released, developers have been finding ways to do crazy things like cram a desktop/tablet version of Windows onto phone-sized devices. Developer Ben Wang has made a […]
Windows Phone Internals 2.3 released, unlocks all Lumia bootloaders
Microsoft may have largely abandoned its Lumia smartphones with Windows software. But if you’ve got one lying around now you can unlock the bootloader and root the phone. As promised last month, the developer of Windows Phone Internals has released a new version that can unlock and root just about any Lumia device. Windows Phone […]
Windows Phone Internals 2.2 can unlock all Lumia phones (root, custom ROMs, and more)
Microsoft may have pretty much given up on Windows Phone, but if you’ve got a Lumia smartphone running Windows Phone software there’s a new tool that you can use to unlock the bootloader and flash custom firmware. About two years after releasing a version of Windows Phone Internals that could unlock some Lumia devices running […]

All 21 Inkscape Tools and Uses Explained 800 470 Logos By Nick
In this post I’ll be explaining all 21 Inkscape tools and uses, along with a brief demonstration of how they work. Inkscape is an open source vector graphics application similar to Adobe Illustrator. It has much more to offer than just the 21 tools located in its toolbar, but this guide should serve as a good starting point for understanding the basics of Inkscape if you’re new to the software.
Become A Master of Inkscape!
Inkscape Tools and Uses
Select and Transform
The Select tool allows you to activate, move, rotate, shear, and scale single or multiple objects at a time.
Edit Paths By Nodes
The Edit Paths By Nodes tool allows you to alter the properties of a vector object relative to its coordinates on the X and Y axis. Editable properties include nodes (or coordinate points of an object) and lines.
Tweak Objects
The Tweak Objects tool allows you to make compound alterations to multiple objects, paths, and colors at a time. Alterations include moving multiple objects at once, shrinking, rotating, or duplicating them. It also allows you to make adjustments based on colors and blurs.
The Zoom tool allows you to increase or decrease your view of the canvas. You can zoom in to see fine details, zoom out to get a more complete view of the canvas, or set the view ratio to 1:1 in order to see how the canvas looks at full size.
The Measurement tool allows you to assess the length, width, height, radius, or diameter of specific objects in the following units of measurement: px, mm, pc, pt, in, cm.
Squares and Rectangles
The Squares and Rectangles tool is used to create 4-sided vector objects, including squares and rectangles. The tool allows you to create rectangles with either perfect right angle corners or rounded corners to varying degrees.
3D Boxes
The 3D Boxes tool allows you to quickly create three-sided vector boxes that appear as if they’re three-dimensional. The X, Y, and Z axis can be adjusted indepently in order to determine the box’s width, height, and depth.
Circles, Ellipses, and Arcs
The Circles, Ellipses, and Arcs tool can be used to create vector objects with curved edges, including circles and ellipses. The tool also allows you to create partial ellipses in pie chart style.
Stars and Polygons
The Stars and Polygons tool allows you to create both stars and polygons. When creating stars, you’ll be able to determine the number of corners the star has, the spoke ratio between each star, and you can choose to give your star rounded corners as well. When creating polygons, you’ll be able to determine the number of sides/corners and you can choose to make them rounded if you’d like.
The Spirals tool is used to create vector paths that follow a spiral trajectory. The tool allows you to adjust the number of turns the spiral has as well as its divergence from its center point.
Draw Freehand Lines
The Draw Freehand Lines tool is used to draw vector paths that follow the trajectory of your hand movement.
Bezier Pen
The Bezier Pen is used to create vector paths by creating a series of individual points known as nodes. The paths can have straight edges or curved edges.
Draw Calligraphic or Brush Strokes
The Draw Calligraphic or Brush Strokes tool allows you to create freehand vector objects using a classic brush stroke and shape of your choosing.
Text Objects
The Text Objects tool is used to create vector text and wording of your choosing. It allows you to flow your text into a bounding box, or simply generate it all on one line. You can also adjust the font, size, orientation, spacing between letters and words, as well as various other adjustments.
Spray Objects
The Spray Objects tool allows you to generate vector objects by spraying them onto the canvas based on a shape of your choosing.
Erase Existing Paths
The Erase tool is used to delete segments of vector paths in a freestyle technique that is based on the trajectory of your hand movement.
Fill Bounded Areas
The Fill Bounded Areas tool, commonly known as the bucket fill tool, allows you to fill empty spaces with a predetermined fill color. In order for the tool to work, the area you’re filling in must be completely surrounded by a closed path. It will not work on empty spaces that bleed out into the open canvas.
Create and Edit Gradients
The Create and Edit Gradients tool allows you to give vector objects multiple colors that fade into each other, otherwise known as gradients. The tool also allows you to edit the gradients based on colors used, number of colors, and the position of the colors relative to the object the gradient is being applied to. The gradients can follow either a linear (straight) or radial (rounded) path.
The Meshes tool is used to give vector objects a gradient that follows a grid (mesh) or a cone shape (conical).
Pick Colors From Image
The Pick Colors From Image tool, commonly referred to as the dropper, allows you to set an object’s fill and stroke color based on another object’s color. The tool allows you to sample colors from both vector and raster images.
Diagram Connectors
The Diagram Connectors tool allows you to create diagrams by generating paths and boxes that link objects together.
The Select Tool
Watch the video below for a more in-dept explanation of the Select Tool, which is probably the tool you’ll be using more frequently than any other.
The video above is from my Inkscape Master Class — a series of 50+ videos where I go over every tool and feature in Inkscape and explain what it is and demonstrate how it works. If you’re looking for a more in-depth explanation of all Inkscape tools and uses, including every other feature and function Inkscape has to offer, then feel free to check it out! I’ll be there to help if you have any questions.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1258 | GayBlade (found LGBTQ+ PC game; 1992)

Manual cover
Status: Found
Date found: 17 Jan 2020 (Windows)
Found by: Sketch the Cow, Internet Archive
GayBlade was a role-playing game released in 1992 on Windows and Mac. The game was notable for being one of the first centrally LGBT-themed video games to be released - in fact, at the time it was often marketed as the "first" LGBT game, however, this was not actually true, as the lesser-known Caper in the Castro had already been released three years prior. The plot revolves around a party of "Drag Queens, Queers, Lesbians, and others" venturing into a dungeon to rescue Empress Nelda from right-wingers, with enemies including "TV Preachers", "Homophobic Yuppies" and "Hell Crabs". Upon release, the game received significant coverage, and not just from the gay press - it was featured in more mainstream sources such as The Village Voice, USA Today and Der Spiegel[1]. According to the developer, Ryan Best, "my phone was ringing day and night with calls for interviews”. The game was even accused by the "Pro-Life Activist's Encyclopedia" of supporting the "homosexual agenda".[2]
In spite of this initial spate of public interest, the game soon faded into obscurity, until it was rediscovered by Professor Adrienne Shaw, who had founded the LGBTQ Games Archive in 2015. Shaw interviewed Best in January 2018, who provided more background info on the development of the game, where he described it as a creative outlet for the homophobia that he had faced growing up in Illinois. He also explained that after having written in a mainstream game entitled Citadel of the Dead and not making any money from sales after signing a bad project, he decided to use coding from an unfinished project of his entitled DragonBlade to make a specifically queer-focused game.[3] Shaw's efforts in unearthing Caper in the Castro and GayBlade, alongside other documentation and archival work, received media recognition from VentureBeat and Kotaku in July 2018. [4][5]
Although the game sold "thousands" of copies according to Best, the games' existence was only rediscovered thanks to a number of the aforementioned media articles, and the game itself remains missing. However, he was able to provide a copy of the game's manual along with a press kit to the LGBTQ Games Archive, which are available here and here respectively. A few other screenshots survive that were featured in articles about the game. Ironically, Caper in the Castro, despite being lesser known than GayBlade, survived in the form of the original diskettes of the game's creator and is now playable in an emulated form on the Internet Archive.
On January 17, 2020, the Windows version of the game was uploaded to the Internet Archive[6] by user Sketch the Cow.

Haudh Valandil
Level: 40 - 130
Size: Fellowship
Cluster: Shadows of Angmar
Region: Evendim
Area: Tyl Annûn
Location: [16.2S, 69.6W]
Haudh Valandil.jpg
Exterior of Haudh Valandil
Terrain Map of Annúminas
Haudh Valandil is a World Instance in Evendim. [16.2S, 69.6W]
"The Lords of Umbar, sorcerers trained by Sauron, the great Necromancer, seek to bring terror to Annúminas by raising the remains of Valandil, third King of Arnor, as a terrible wight. Only the most courageous of the Free Peoples will be able to put an end to their evil deeds. . . ."
This is the tomb of Valandil, youngest son of Isildur, grandson of Elendil himself, and once the third High King of Arnor. Now this place is overrun by forces of evil.
The entrance is found west of Ost Elendil, down a set of stairs just north of Ariant, the great bridge to Tyl Annûn. It is possible to go north of the stairs, jump on the west wall and then down onto a small ledge above the dome with four lookouts and drop aggro. Then, drop down onto the dome and either kill the lookouts or skip them and drop down the north-west part of it. This is a safe place to drop aggro and leave a Captain for summoning after a wipe. From here, you can run directly into the instance. Or use the Instance Join panel.
The following creatures are found within this area:
Level Name Difficulty Species Dread Morale
53 Kergrim.png Shingrinder Elite Master Beast 40,175
52 Necromancer.png Dolvaethor Nemesis Man 5+ 46,300
52 WightKing.png Valandil of Arnor Elite Master The Dead 5+ 42,000
Instance Overview
Map of Haudh Valandil
This dungeon is full of nasty fear and disease effects, Cave-claws, Kergrim, and Flashing Limrafn that will summon either three elites or an elite master if they get too close to anyone in the fellowship. It is recommended to bring a full, balanced Fellowship, and a good strategy is to deal with the Limrafn at maximum range and then lay into them, crowd-controlling them if they get too close. A Lore-master equipped with disease and wound cleansing skills is especially useful here to make things a little easier, and a Captain placed outside the instance entrance can reduce wipe recovery time considerably.
The instance is a massive underground burial hall. In the middle is a large, central structure containing six rooms, three on either side. There is a wide, watery passageway leading around the structure. Within each of the building's six rooms there are braziers which need to be lit once the room has been cleared. At the dungeon entrance and the south gate, there is a line of 6 braziers that represent your progress in clearing the lower part of the instance. Once all 6 are lit you can proceed to the upper level. Since the Evendim update, two of the braziers are already lit (random which two), and their corresponding rooms are blocked off from entry.
Begin by moving down the stairs, defeating the two patrolling Kergrim and Limrafn. There is a rare spawn, Hooktooth, who sometimes patrols around the central structure, so keep an eye out for him.
All of the rooms are pretty much the same, with an Anorian Knight who summons a group of Elite mobs, either Cave Claws, Limrafn, or Kergrim, or a combination. He has an attack that saps your blue bar very fast, watch out for it. Pulling the Knight out of the room will cause the room to reset.
Once all the braziers in all of the rooms have been lit, a gate will open in the south of the instance. At the south end of the dungeon you will reach a room filled with Flashing Limrafn. Clear a path through them and enter the southern gate. Head up a few sets of stairs, carefully killing the Limrafn on the landings, and you will encounter Shingrinder on the bridge leading to the upper section of the central structure.
Watch out for knockback on the bridge, as a fall to the floor is fatal. After Shingrinder is defeated, head across the bridge, grabbing the chest as you pass it.
There you will see Dolvaethor standing behind a fiery inferno that is blocking your path ahead and spawning single Burning Limrafn until you approach. Once you do, Dolvaethor will cause a rapidly increasing number of Burning Limrafn to spawn from the fire. Defeat them quickly or risk becoming overwhelmed. Since the Burning Limrafn have a buff that deals damage to melee as well as ranged attackers equal to the amount of damage received, DPS classes such as Champions, Hunters and Burglars will require a lot of healing. Focus damage on single targets, because AoE attacks will cause massive amounts of reflected damage at once. After the encounter, Dolvaethor will retreat farther back into the instance, and the inferno blocking your path will be gone. (Leaving the area will cause the attacking Limrafn to reset.)
As you pursue Dolvaethor, you will encounter three elite Arnorian Wights and two Fiery Morelendil Guards mobs. The guards will not engage until the wights are defeated. Once you engage the wights, they will attempt run down the stairs on either side in order to aggro up to twelve additional wights. The best approach to this encounter is to have a Minstrel and/or Burglar crowd-control two of them as the rest of the fellowship pulls the middle wight down the steps. After the wights and any adds from the side areas are defeated, the two Fiery Morelendil Guards will engage. They are not tank-able, meaning they act like an enraged mob, and they have a knock-back attack that can spread people out. Have everyone move close together to prevent them from running back and forth, then burn them down one at a time. It is best to stand in the lower corner to the left or right of the stairs, as the knock-back can cause instant defeat if it knocks you to the bottom of the dungeon. Once the two guards are defeated, clear any wights in the side rooms.
Now you can approach Dolvaethor and Valandil of Arnor, the final boss encounter. Valandil has very high mitigation against most damage types, except Westernesse damage which will damage the creature normally.
After defeating Dolvaethor and Valandil, carry Valandil's remains to his coffin, and loot the chest.

The basic characteristics of this type of object are their metaphysical, transcendental, and total character. The title was probably meant to warn students of Aristotle's philosophy that they should attempt Metaphysics only after they had mastered “the physical ones”, the books about nature or the natural world—that is to say, about change, for change is the defining feature of the natural world.

global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1280 | [Pdx-pm] ASP, PerlScript and Time::HiRes
Roderick A. Anderson raanders at acm.org
Tue Jun 15 15:06:03 CDT 2004
This is a first (ASP/PerlScript) for me and I'm getting no where quick.
Hopefully someone can point me at the right tool.
I've been 'given' some ASP code that uses PerlScript from a fairly
reliable source. (Names withheld to protect anyone guilty besides me.
:-) I've got the file installed according to instructions but get the
page source code back instead of the script working.
Much head scratching, code trimming/testing and it's come down to it
mostly works until the use Time::HiRes; line. I've tested that the module
is installed and once I comment the line out the script makes a
valiant try. The actual use statement is in some other modules so
commenting all the Time::HiRes lines out doesn't seem a good idea.
I've tried running the script (silly me) from the command line using
the perl debugger. It pukes. Removed the ASP stuff and it tries again
but no joy. Question is: what 'normal distribution' tools are there to
debug this.

Ode To My Bullies
Barbie Saying GoodbyeAt first you called me gay behind my back
As if I would be troubled ’bout such fame.
I kissed a man before your eyes – you came –,
Fulfilled desire that grows from greater lack.
Obsessed with sex you seem to be to shame.
You play with people like words and do attack,
Launched “Barbie-fucker” to drive me in my shack.
It drove me nuts to paths of psycho’s frame.
Yet in the end forgiveness is my plea:
oh beg for your approval I won’t do
– the narcissist too small he lives in me.
This sonnet is my only ode to you
in hopes that you from now live happily
for I forever wave a toodeloo.

I have a former work colleague who is happy to watch people arguing partisan politics online for hours on end. Me, I couldn’t do it, it would drive me insane. But so she tells me, she has spotted an interesting trend. Something interesting is happening in the Brexit/Scottish independence debates.
We all know the script. Usually, it is the conservative/defending position that takes the more aggressive stance. The opposing side is the ‘enemy’. Although generally speaking, the progressive position plays less dirty, with repeated exposure over time, both sides can become as bad as each other.It is now standard practice for political campaigns to use paid agents provocateurs to veer public opinion in their favour or away from where the discourse might naturally flow. These campaigns also act as magnets to organic trolls acting out their fear of the unknown. You can always tell which ones are which. The paid trolls give themselves away every time in their sheer stamina and consistency in their use of poltical jargon. It is laughable to think that only the Russians could be capable of such a thing!
The organic trolls, however, are real people. Sad, maybe. Bitter, maybe. But real nonetheless.
And this is where tentative change is occurring.
Taking an argument about COVID resrictions in the UK as an example, the engagements might start with the usual mudslinging but if the time is taken to interrogate the reasoning behind certain assumptions and postions, what becomes clear is that a) the ‘troll’ is acting on misinformation, a misapprehension or a misunderstanding b) they genuinely believe what they are saying c) they are over the moon to discover that they have the wrong end of the stick and d) they are really just scared and want someone to take the time to listen to their concerns. The overriding theme is loneliness.
Of course there are maldoers and idiots among them, but contrary to popular misconception (promoted by the media I have to say), the majority of these bitter, angry people are as sensitive as you or I, they have just learned to process their emotions differently. In the rush to embrace other disenfranchised parts of the community, such as ethnic groups, women or the LGBT community, the old mainstream was pushed to one side by the progressive elites.
Obviously, there are individuals out there who have figured this out and who are willing to take the time to engage on a more human level with their political opponents. They are not engaging from a position of moral or intellectual superiority but as equals. Friendships are forming. Some are meeting in real life over coffee.
I am writing this because I feel strongly that our brothers and sisters across the Pond need to be reassured that this is how it is done. Not by Washington, not Westminster – just us.
Reunifying a divided population is possible but it has to be undertaken in a sprit of compassion – at the grass roots, on an individual level. It is less about finding common political ground than about rediscovering our common humanity. If we can do that, the politics will do just fine. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1351 | User:Gleki/CLL, next edition
From Lojban
Jump to navigation Jump to search
An ever-being-updated list of suggestions for the next revision of CLL:
active PRs, problematic or those that must be active
A to-be-prepared list of changes for CLL 1.3:
• update cmavo list, make it semi-official
• make CLL official language
• The Dot Side, the Case Against LA, dotside or Not?
• rename CMENE to CMEVLA
• ch7 15 Section 15, it says "Finally, lujvo involving ``zi'o are also possible, and are fully discussed in Chapter 12", but nowhere does Chapter 12 mention the word {zi'o}, much less lujvo involving it. Remove the reference to ch12
• fix usage of rupnu in various chapters
• 21 BNF. Rule 6 in the introductory remarks on EBNF syntax should clarify that "A & B" means "A | B | A B", but does not permit "B A". Further, explain that "A & B & C & D" permits one or more of A, B, C, and/or D, but ONLY in that order.
• 16.9 It says "for no x" (noda) is the same as "it is false for some x" (naku su'oda). I (mi'e zort) interpret "it is false for some x" as "there is an x such that it is false" (su'oda naku), not "it is false that for some x it is true" (naku su'oda), so it should be changed to "it is false that for some x".
• internal grammar of UI
• add missing parts from nitcion's and,_draft_1.1
• 18.19 and 19.7 - merge into one
• 11.12 The phrase {le ka la frank ciska} is glossed as "The quality-of Frank's writing". {ka} glosses to the word "property", and the Lojban doesn't talk at all about quality (as in jezyprane), so I believe the word "quality" was accidentally put there, having bled into the interlinear gloss from the author's intended natural English translation. That said, I (Zort) believe the gloss should be "The property-that Frank writes". That said, I (still Zort) have a humble suggestion for a demonstration of this section's grammatical feature, a cynical little observation, that has occured in my Lojban speech "in the wild", and perhaps therefore proves at least some usefulness of this grammatical feature: {le'e prenu cu djica lo mu'e jenai za'i gunka}.
• The tengwar table should use actual tengwar in addition to their names, since we now have Unicode (CSUR) and good fonts.
• 4.7 In the procedure for making a non-Lojban word into a valid Stage 3 fu'ivla, double consonants are to be eliminated before the sounds are to be converted to their closest Lojban equivalents, but it is possible that consecutive consonants have different sounds (like in 'eccentric'). So these actions should swap places. The same goes for section 8, in the procedure for Lojbanizing a name.
• Chapter 10 It would be nice if there was a template for compound tenses around the end of the chapter, like the template for compound cnima'o in chapter 13 section 8.
• see what's left at CLL, aka Reference Grammar, Errata
• take parts from suggestions for CLL, second edition here and there
• ch3. Section 6, restriction no. 2 already forbids 8 of the 12 consonant pairs that are forbidden by restriction no. 3; perhaps it's better to just explicitly forbid the pairs "cs", "jz", "sc" and "zj" like in the last restriction.
• pr according to Existential import, change mentions of "existential import" in CLL accordingly. see
• A lot of this terminology is used without being defined. We should formally define the terminology that is import to understanding the grammar and syntax of Lojban, preferably in a sidebar outside of the main text.
• add cu after all cmevla when CMEVLA brivla constructs arises otherwise
• ??? can't confirm. ch3. Section 2, page 30. for the second eng (immediately to the left of "(may be syllabic)") the syllabicity marker is concealed by the right tail. I can just barely see the marker under a good light. |
global_05_local_5_shard_00002591_processed.jsonl/1360 | All Apps page in Windows 8 shows all programs or features present in Windows 8. All Application page helps you to find what programs are currently installed in your PC at a glance. You can open All Application page page, by the following methods:
Press Windows key to open Windows 8 Start Screen and then press Ctrl + Tab keys and “All Apps” page will open.
You can also right-click on empty space of Windows 8 Start Screen and click All apps option, appeared below.
Again by pressing Windows Key + Q you can launch “All Apps” page in Windows 8.
So there are different methods to launch “All Apps” page in Windows 8. But if you do not like to remember keyboard shortcuts and at the same time you want to access this All App page with a click, it is better to create a shortcut in your desktop to open All App page.
Windows 8 all apps page
In previous versions of Windows 8 (Release preview, Consumer preview, developers preview) there was a file; Search.scf in C:\Windows\System32\ location, which was responsible to show “All Apps” page. So if you are still using any Preview versions of Windows 8. You may create shortcut for C:\Windows\System32\Search.scf location. But In Windows 8 Pro this Search.scf no longer exists.
So, if you are using Windows 8 Pro, follow the steps below to create “All App” shortcut in desktop.
Steps to create all application page shortcut
1. First of all right-click on the empty space of Desktop and select New -> Shortcut.
Create new Shortcut
2. Put
in location textbox. Press “Next”.
You can download this command as a .txt file.
type command in location
3. Name it “All Apps Page” or anything you want and click Finish.
Name the shortcut
That’s it. You can now see the newly created shortcut in your desktop. Double-click it to launch Windows 8 All Apps Page.
1. Nice! But when i use this shortcut, the search function of “all apps” opens automatically. Chances to avoid this? Thanks.
• Hi, teatime.. Actually it is a shortcut of explorer.exe file. So basically when the shortcut is clicked, it only launches the explorer.exe file. And the search bar is inbuilt with explorer.exe
So, you cannot avoid it..
A single click in blank space will make the search bar disappeared.

What Kind of Vegan Are You?
Take our Vegan Type Quiz to find out which of the identified vegan types best suits you: Convenient Vegan, Fearless Vegan, or a Plant-Based Vegan. With answers to just a few questions, you’ll find out an answer to the question…what kind of vegan are you?
Why take the Vegan Type Quiz? Why does it matter? because knowing your type can help you better identify recipes and resources to help you in your day-to-day life. Take, for example, eating out. If you’re a plant-based vegan, you will want to choose restaurants that provide salad options and maybe even some plant-based side dishes liked baked potatoes. The Fearless Vegan may be a little more adventurous and will opt for a restaurant that provides vegan cheeses. The Convenient Vegan will be happy to order vegan cheeses and faux meat products or veggie burgers with fries.
I’ll share more about all three of these types, but first, take The Vegan Type Quiz to identify which best fits you and your lifestyle. Write your answers on a piece of paper.
What kind of vegan are you? Take the Vegan Type Quiz on Namely Marly today to find out!
What would you choose as your main reason for wanting to…or being vegan?
1. I want to be as healthy as possible
2. I think vegans are cool. And I like being a pain in the ass (at least sometimes)
3. I like animals and all, but I really care about the environment and want to do my part
If asked to bring a “dish to share” at an upcoming social event, which of these sounds like the one you’d want to bring?
1. Organic carrot and cranberry raisin energy balls, with all natural ingredients and sweetened with dates and carob chips. I want people to say, “that’s so healthy!”
2. Artichoke and Spinach Dip with a creamy vegan sauce and vegan cheese, served with blue corn tortilla chips. I want people to ooh and ahh over what I bring!
3. Vegan hotwings with plant-based blue cheese dressing and sriracha for dipping. I want people to say, “That’s vegan?”
You’re hosting Thanksgiving this year. Do you:
1. Not allow any meat or animal products in your home, insisting everyone at plant-based like you?
2. Make some memorable and enticing vegan dishes and sides for yourself and invite friends/family to bring what they want?
3. Throw a Tofurkey loaf in the oven for yourself and have others bring the stuffing and bread and you’ll eat their side dishes?
What would be your perfect vegan breakfast?
1. A smoothie with spinach, banana, dates, and orange juice
2. Overnight oatmeal served with berries and dairy-free yogurt
3. A vegan biscuit sandwich with veggie sausage, vegan mayo, and vegan cheese
Lunch rolls around. Your friends are going out. You join them and order:
1. A plain field greens said with steamed broccoli, almonds, and some dairy-free vinaigrette dressing
2. A side salad with spiced pecans, apples and sweet mustard dressing, and a baked potato with broccoli
3. A veggie burger with avocados and french fries on the side
When you’re preparing dinner, what are the biggest certiera for selecting a recipe?
1. Whole, plant-based ingredients. Yes, there may be a lot of chopping and more time involved, but you prefer the best tasting and healthy dinners
2. Organic, exotic ingredients. yes, they may be a little more pricey, but you prefer the best-tasting dinners that entice your taste buds and dazzle your plate
3. Convenient ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store or Target or Walmart that you can make in under 30 minutes.
Regarding the taste of the food you prepare. You want your vegan dishes to:
1. Taste wholesome and filling. My main priority is to get plant-based nutrients, your taste buds will follow.
2. Have an explosion of flavors, so that one bite leads to another. My goal is to combine the best flavors in the most appealing manner. I love exploring new flavors.
3. I want my vegan food to taste familiar, like the food I grew up eating.
Your preference for eating out:
1. I always prefer to eat home so I control what goes inside of most everything I eat
2. I like a mixture. I like to eat at home, but I don’t want my diet to limit my ability to eat at nice restaurants
3. I’d eat out every meal if I could afford it
If you’re considering the lifestyle side of vegan
1. I do research and try never to buy things with known animal products in them
2. Most of my stuff is animal-free, but I have some high quality leather that stands the test of time better than cheap, man-made (and petroleum-based) materials
3. I don’t mind buying manmade material products if they’re readily available, but I’m not going to look at labels. Maybe some day
My main health goals are:
1. I want to eat as healthy as possible so I can feel my very best
2. I feel best when I’m with friends or family, so I want a diet that is healthy, but also sociable and flexible
3. I don’t want to have a heart attack tomorrow or anything, but I want my food to taste good and to be convenient. Otherwise, whatever.
You’re packing your lunch for today. Which would you choose:
1. A salad with berries, lemon juice for dressing and walnuts. A pear for dessert
2. A buddha bowl with brown rice, steamed broccoli, red peppers, and topped with vegan cheese shreds and a creamy green goddess dressing with an artisan whole wheat bun on the side. A larabar for dessert
3. A veggie burger on a whole wheat bun with a bag of chips and some oreos for dessert

Quickly work out the percentage increase or decrease from 336 to 5894 in this step-by-step percentage calculator tutorial. (Spoiler alert: it's 1654.17%!)
So you want to work out the percentage increase or decrease from 336 to 5894? Fear not, intrepid math seeker! Today, we will guide you through the calculation so you can figure out how to work out the increase or decrease in any numbers as a percentage. Onwards!
In a rush and just need to know the answer? The percentage increase from 336 to 5894 is 1654.17%.
What is the % change from to
Percentage increase/decrease from 336 to 5894?
An increase or decrease percentage of two numbers can be very useful. Let's say you are a shop that sold 336 t-shirts in January, and then sold 5894 t-shirts in February. What is the percentage increase or decrease there? Knowing the answer allows you to compare and track numbers to look for trends or reasons for the change.
Working out a percentage increase or decrease between two numbers is pretty simple. The resulting number (the second input) is 5894 and what we need to do first is subtract the old number, 336, from it:
5894 - 336 = 5558
Once we've done that we need to divide the result, 5558, by the original number, 336. We do this because we need to compare the difference between the new number and the original:
5558 / 336 = 16.541666666667
We now have our answer in decimal format. How do we get this into percentage format? Multiply 16.541666666667 by 100? Ding ding ding! We have a winner:
16.541666666667 x 100 = 1654.17%

Percentage increase/decrease from 336 to 6785?
An increase or decrease percentage of two numbers can be very useful. Let's say you are a shop that sold 336 t-shirts in January, and then sold 6785 t-shirts in February. What is the percentage increase or decrease there? Knowing the answer allows you to compare and track numbers to look for trends or reasons for the change.
Working out a percentage increase or decrease between two numbers is pretty simple. The resulting number (the second input) is 6785 and what we need to do first is subtract the old number, 336, from it:
6785 - 336 = 6449
Once we've done that we need to divide the result, 6449, by the original number, 336. We do this because we need to compare the difference between the new number and the original:
6449 / 336 = 19.193452380952
We now have our answer in decimal format. How do we get this into percentage format? Multiply 19.193452380952 by 100? Ding ding ding! We have a winner:
19.193452380952 x 100 = 1919.35%

A crane truck is used for the most part to lift heavy cargo and transport the load horizontally to another location. Because the loads are specific, crane trucks built by OJ Watson are customized to move the specific load required. A self-propelled loading-unloading machine is mounted on the truck body. The rotating cantilevered boom is generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves that lift and lower materials. At OJ Watson, we call them a shop on wheels. |
