For people who have recently had a stent implanted in a blocked heart artery, the risk of developing a blood clot may be higher early in the morning than other times of day, researchers reported Monday.
Stents are tiny, scaffold-like devices implanted into narrowed heart arteries to help improve blood flow to the heart. In about 1 to 2 percent of patients, a blood clot forms around the stent, which can trigger a heart attack or stroke; the risk is greatest in the few months after the stent is implanted.
In the new study, researchers found that for people who developed a blood clot within a month of their stent procedure, symptoms were more likely to begin at 7 a.m. than at any other time of the day.
Among the 49 patients, symptoms arose at 7 a.m. at least twice as often as any other hour of the day, according to findings published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions.
The study adds to evidence that the risk of heart problems varies according to the body's circadian rhythms, the 24-hour cycles that influence sleep, hormone production, body temperature and other essential functions.
Past studies have found that the incidence of heart attack, cardiac arrest and stroke generally peak in the morning.
"We expected to see circadian patterns and variations (in blood clot risk), because they are part of normal life," said Dr. David R. Holmes of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, the senior researcher on the study.
It's known that blood pressure, heart rate and the blood cells' "stickiness" tend to increase in the morning, all of which might contribute to the higher risk of stent blood clots, according to Holmes's team.
A researcher not involved in the study called the findings "interesting" and said that future studies are needed to confirm the greater morning-time risk and uncover the reasons.
"Identifying this circadian pattern helps focus attention on the possible reasons," said Dr. Geoffrey Tofler, a professor of preventative cardiology at the University of Sydney in Australia who has studied circadian rhythms and heart disease.
But what can patients with newly implanted stents do for now?
Holmes said they can be particularly attuned to potential symptoms of a blood clot early in the morning. Those include chest pain or discomfort and shortness of breath. There are also "atypical" symptoms, like nausea, Holmes noted, and elderly patients are more likely to have those compared with younger people.
"If you wake up feeling 'strange,'" Holmes said, "maybe you're not just feeling strange, and it's something that needs medical attention."
Still, since stent blood clots arise in about 1 to 2 percent of patients, the absolute risk to any one person would be low. And Holmes stressed that, in general, "stents are safe and effective, and very good at preventing symptoms."
"But they are not fail-safe," he said. "And they need careful medical control."
Stent patients generally take aspirin plus another anti-clotting medication for some time after the procedure, a year or more if they have drug-coated stents. So staying with your prescribed regimen is important, both Holmes and Tofler pointed out.
The findings are based on 124 patients treated at the Mayo Clinic for a stent blood clot between 1995 and 2009. Of those patients, 49 had an "early" clot, within 30 days of having the stent implanted, while 30 developed a clot within a year, and 45 more than one year later.
Only the risk of an early clot was elevated in the morning; later ones showed no clear circadian pattern.
That, according to Holmes, may be because early and late blood clots happen for different reasons.
The researchers were also able to pinpoint potential triggers of blood clots in some of the patients. About 6 percent had not been complying with their medication, and another 8 percent had infections or medical problems that could have either contributed to the clot or interfered with their medication regimen.
In addition, 11 percent of the patients said they'd been performing heavy exercise before their symptoms arose something that is not advised.
"It is generally recommended that people not perform heavy exertion in the initial weeks after receiving a stent, since this may increase risk of stent thrombosis (blood clot)," Tofler told Reuters Health by email.
According to Holmes, the findings also raise the question of whether patients' anti-clotting medication doses may be wearing off by the early morning, and whether it might be better to split the dose into two, taken in the morning and night.
Tofler, however, expressed doubts about that. The "duration of action" of both aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix) the anti-clotting drug commonly given to stent patients is longer than one day, he said.
"So unless people weren't taking those tablets when they should have been," Tofler said, "timing should not have been a problem."


None of that even includes all of the things you need to buy to take care of your kids. Wipes, lotions, diapers, oh my—how do you know which one is best? It's all so overwhelming. And expensive.
Good thing our favorite celebrity couple has just come out with an awesome solution. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have just launched Hello Bello, a plant-based baby products line that includes high-end baby products, but on a low budget, with the goal to make premium baby products affordable for all parents.
The Hello Bello collection includes an assortment 10 baby products, including diapers, wipes, bath products, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, laundry detergent, and much more.
The products will be sold at Walmart nationwide, which means super low prices all the time. Prices range from a low of $1.88 to a high of only $23.94 (with the majority under just 8 bucks).
For any parents who've ever picked up a $40 bottle of baby shampoo and raised an eyebrow, you're going to appreciate this line—especially since it was made with you in mind.
The Hello bello baby products are truly one of a kind. The diapers don't have any chlorine, artificial fragrances, or any of the other junk regular diapers come with, plus they contain a new absorbent technology able to absorb more than 50 times their weight in fluid.
The baby wipes use a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and over 99% water formula with aloe and chamomile, so it's perfectly gentle and soothing on your baby's you know what, but also good for them too.
The body lotion is made with organic jojoba and sunflower seed oils. The shampoo and body wash has organic aloe vera, calendula, avocado, and cucumber extracts. The bubble bath has zero phthalates, parabens, synthetic fragrances or dyes.
Literally everything is made to a high quality, but sold at a low price—it's almost hard to believe it's true!
To learn more about their new Hello Bello brand and products, check out the video below.
What do you think of this new baby line from Kristen and Dax? Would you ever buy these plant-based products for your baby?

Q: Rasterize error: Polygon to raster conversion produces horizontal lines I am working with shapefiles in R that I need to convert from polygon to raster. While the vectors look perfect when plotted, when converted to raster using 'rasterize' they produce erroneous horizontal lines. Here is an example of the problem:

Here is a generic example of the code that I am using (sorry that I cannot upload the data itself as it is proprietary):
spdf.dat <- readOGR("directory here", "layer here")

# Plot polygon
plot(spdf.dat, col = 'dimgrey', border = 'black')

# Extract boundaries
ext <- extent(spdf.dat)

# Set resolution for rasterization
res <- 1

# determine no. of columns from extents and resolution
yrow <- round((ext@ymax - ext@ymin) / res)
xcol  <- round((ext@xmax - ext@xmin) / res)

# Rasterize base
rast.base <- raster(ext, yrow, xcol, crs = projection(spdf.dat))

# Rasterize substrate polygons
rast <- rasterize(spdf.dat, rast.base, field = 1, fun = 'min', progress='text')
plot(rast, col = 'dimgrey')

Does this seem to be a problem with the source data or the rasterize function? Has anyone seen this sort of error before? Thank you for any advice that you can provide.

A: To make it official so the question is considered answered, I'll copy my commented responses here.  You can therefor accept it.
When I look at your figure, it seems to me that the problematic appearing lines in the raster are situated at the same latitude of some islands. Try to removes these islands from your dataset. If the problem disappear, you'll know that your data is the problem and where in your data the problem lies.
An other option is to try the gdalUtils package which has a function: gdal_rasterize.  Maybe gdal is less exigent in the input data.

A: I had a similar problem rasterizing the TIGER areal water data for the San Juan Islands in Washington State , as well as for Maui - both of these spatial polygon data frames at the default resolution returned by package Tigris using a raster defined by points 1 arc-second of lat/lon apart. There were several horizontal stripes starting at what appeared to be sharp bends of the coastline.  Various simplification algorithms helped, but not predictably, and not perfectly.
Try package Velox, which takes some getting used to as it uses Reference Classes. It probably has size limits, as it uses the Boost geometry libraries and works in memory.  You don't need to understand it all, I don't.  It is fast compared to raster::rasterize (especially for large and complicated spatial lines dataframes), although I didn't experience the hundred-fold speedups claimed, I am not gonna complain about a mere factor of 10 or 20 speedup.  Most importantly, velox$rasterize() doesn't leave streaks for the locations I found where raster::rasterize did!
I found that it leaves a lot of memory garbage, and when converting large rasterLayers derived from velox$rasterize, running gc() was helpful before writing the raster in native R .grd format (in INT1S format to save disk space).

A: Just as a follow up to this question based on my experiences.
The horizontal lines are as a result of these 'islands' as described above. However, it only occurs if the polygon is 'multi-part'. If 'islands' are distinct polygons rather than a separate part of one polygon, then raster:rasterize() works fine.

Terrific New York Times magazine article entitled Why Are Politicians So Obsessed With Manufacturing? It details the reality that no matter what candidates from both parties promise manufacturing jobs are not coming back.
This, of course, is the core finding of Michigan Future's more than two decades research into how globalization and technology are changing the economy. The reality is that we have transitioned from a factory-based to a knowledge-based economy. There is no going back no matter which party is in control in either DC or Lansing. And no matter what the policy agenda.
The Times writes: Manufacturing retains its powerful hold on the American imagination for good reason. In the years after World War II, factory work created a broadly shared prosperity that helped make the American middle class. People without college degrees could buy a home, raise a family, buy a station wagon, take some nice vacations. It makes perfect sense that voters would want to return to those times.
Politicians of all persuasions have tried to turn back time through a wide range of programs best summarized as "throwing money at factory owners." They offer tax credits and other incentives; some towns even build whole industrial parks, at taxpayer expense, so they can offer free space for manufacturers. By and large, those strategies haven't helped. One of Trump's keynote proposals is to encourage domestic production by taxing imports — an idea more likely to cause a recession than a manufacturing revival. Clinton is promising to basically extend the efforts of the Obama administration, which said it would create a million factory jobs. With just a few months left, the president is still more than 600,000 jobs short.
As we have write frequently it would be better if we could recreate a high wage, high employment manufacturing sector. Its what made Michigan one of the most prosperous places on the planet for most of the 20th Century. But those day are gone––largely because manufacturing is increasingly done by machines not workers.
This is the same path that agriculture followed a century earlier. And no matter how many promises candidates have made or how much public money policy makers have thrown at farming over that century farming now accounts for less than two percent of American jobs.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 64,000 steelworkers in America last year, and 820,000 home health aides — more than double the population of Pittsburgh. Next year, there will be fewer steelworkers and still more home health aides, as baby boomers fade into old age. Soon, we will be living in the United States of Home Health Aides, yet the candidates keep talking about steelworkers. Many home health aides live close to the poverty line: Average annual wages were just $22,870 last year. If both parties are willing to meddle with the marketplace in order to help one sector, why not do the same for jobs that currently exist?
Exactly! The American economy is now predominantly service providing. And will be even more so in the future. Knowledge-based services are high wage industries. But industries that predominantly employ those with low education attainment are low wage. If we are serious about raising the living standards of non college educated Americans we need policies that will raise employment earnings for those in those service occupations.

New Brunswick introduces exotic animal legislation after boys' deaths
FREDERICTON — The New Brunswick government is introducing new legislation to regulate the possession and ownership of exotic animals, four years after two young boys were killed by an African rock python.
Four-year-old Noah Barthe and his six-year-old brother, Connor, died after the python escaped its enclosure and fell on top of them while they were sleeping in a family friend's apartment in Campbellton.
Energy and Resource Development Minister Rick Doucet says the new Exotic Animals Act will strengthen safeguards for public safety, human health, and the health and safety of native species and their habitats.
The province's Exotic Animal Task Force recommended in 2015 that the government review existing legislation, saying it did not adequately address regulation and enforcement of exotic animals.
Doucet says the definition of exotic animal will include certain fish, wildlife and invertebrates such as scorpions and spiders.
The proposed legislation will regulate the import, possession, sale, public display, propagation, export and release of exotic animals.
A list of exotic animals that do not require a permit will be approved, and animals not included on that list will require a permit through the Department of Energy and Resource Development.

Best Selling » Tiles manufactured from clay material are being used occasionally. Since they are manufactured from natural materials, they are really much cheaper than a great many other materials and they keep the inside of the home cool through the summer. They can be highly repellent to heating and rainwater. They are also not easily combustible. Hence they are preferred over the coconut and areca nut roofs. Despite several new and attractive tile materials which are invented today, clay tiles never have lost their popularity.


New book, "The Sage Age" demystifies the jargon and harmonizes the concepts toward a wholistic understanding.
(Nashville, TN) March 6, 2008 � Ever wonder what the phrase �quantum leap� really means? What is the difference between the scientific definition of the word �dimension� and the metaphysical interpretation? Why is there a connection between quantum physics and mysticism? These are the very questions author MaAnna Stephenson began to ask early on as a seeker and student of New Age thought.
Over two decades ago, MaAnna (pronounced May Anna, like JoAnna) became intrigued with the philosophy of new science and how it mirrored ancient mystical teachings. The term �new science� refers to all science that has been directly impacted by the advent of quantum physics. The historical development of quantum physics shows that the founders of this new science were so awestruck by the implications of their mind-boggling discoveries that they turned to the only written sources which could give them any perspective. These writings were the ancient mystical texts of every time-honored religion and belief system.
Over the last half century, an increasing number of books and articles have surfaced in an attempt to clarify the connection between the philosophy of new science and ancient mysticism in a way that is accessible to the lay person. However, what MaAnna found was that many of these writings included terminology which had come into common use but were rarely explained or defined clearly.
For example, most everyone is familiar with the word �quantum� but few people can state what a quantum is. Similarly, most everyone knows that Einstein�s equation E=mc2 revolutionized physics, but many people don�t know what the letters stand for. Even if they do, many are confused about why �c�, which is the speed of light, is squared.
MaAnna found that the same problem existed with the common terminology used in New Age thought and spirituality. Many current books and articles speak of an impending paradigm shift in which we will raise our frequency and enter a new dimension. MaAnna wanted to understand what the terms �frequency� and �dimension� meant in this context. She was also interested in the emergence of Complementary Alternative Therapies in the healing arts and the difference between a medical intuitive, a psychic and an energy worker.
To that end, MaAnna began an intensive course of study and investigation that took over four years to complete. That research culminated in writing the book The Sage Age: Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom. Being degreed in technology and experienced as an intuitive practitioner of music and sound gave her a balanced and discerning approach to explore both schools of thought. �Writing the book completely changed my perspective on the evolution of human thought and where we are headed,� she states.
The Sage Age gives the serious seeker a comprehensive method of understanding the full range of new science as it relates to intuitive wisdom. It demystifies the jargon used in both disciplines and clarifies common misunderstandings. What makes this book new in its approach is that it illuminates the tie of leading-edge science to current intuitive practice instead of ancient mystical texts. What sets the book apart is that it doesn�t just use words often found in books that blend science and spirit, it defines these terms in context to their use.
Every book on the subject already out there has its place because each seeker has a different combination of education and experience. The Sage Age is beyond the primer level but not in the rarefied realms of the Ph.D. It�s for the seeker who has more than a casual interest yet, it is still understandable. The book explains complex ideas with analogies and examples with which anyone can relate. It also includes over 50 illustrations to clarify complicated ideas.
�It�s not a self-help book, but it will change you by changing your perspective,� MaAnna comments. This new work provides a look into the depth and breadth of its subject matter, taking centuries of information and collating it into an understandable cohesive whole. Living up to its mantra of "new models for new thought," this title is certain to be a catalyst for dialogue and is destined to be a major work in its field. The book will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for years to come.
The Sage Age will be published by Nightengale Press and is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2008.

There are two species of corroboree frog, the southern corroboree frog, Pseudophryne corroboree, and the northern corroboree frog, Pseudophryne pengilleyi. The southern corroboree frog is a very small frog with warning colouration. It has black and yellow stripes, sometimes with a greenish tinge. It is one of the brightest frogs in the world.
It only lives in an area of about 10 km2 (4 sq mi) in the Kosciusko National Park in south east Australia. Scientists believe that the total population of corroboree frogs is less than 250. Numbers of the frog have reduced by 80% in the last ten years, and so the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) have listed the southern corroboree frog as being a critically endangered species.
The southern corroboree frog live in a small area in the Kosciusko National Park. It usually lives in Snow Gum forest, and Sphagnum swamps. These places are very cold, because the Corroboree Frog only lives in areas higher than 1000m above sea level. The corroboree frogs breed in small ponds and wetlands during the summer months.
The southern corroboree frog has a very distinctive pattern of black with bright yellow stripes. They are very small, only around 25 mm (1 in) long when fully grown. The female frog is usually larger than the male and can be as big as 30 mm (1 in) They mainly eat bugs, like ants, beetles and mites. They have a very different breeding cycle to most other frogs. Most frogs breed in spring, but these frogs only breed in summer during January and February. They use the wet areas to dig small holes for their mating and nesting. They lay between 16-40 eggs. The eggs hatch 4–6 months later when water levels rise and flood the nests. The frogs live as tadpoles for another 6–8 months. They change into frogs at the start of summer in December. They become sexually active after another two years. The frogs are not known to survive a second breeding season.
Corroboree frogs are the first vertebrates discovered that are able to make their own poisonous alkaloid, pseudo-phrynamine. Most other frogs get it from their diet. The alkaloid is secreted from the skin as a defence against predators, and perhaps against skin infections by microbes.
The southern corroboree frog is Australia's most endangered frog. Scientists have not discovered a reason for the reduction in frog numbers. There are a range of problems that affect the area that they live in. Increased access by people with four-wheel drive vehicles and the development of ski resorts are destroying their habitat. Global warming is also a big problem for them, because they are used to the cold. Global warming may shorten the frog's breeding time during winter, and also destroy their snowy habitat. Holes in the ozone layer may also be a problem, because when there are holes in the ozone it means that more sun rays hit the ground, and so there is less snow. Disease from funguses can kill lots of the frogs. Erosion and pollution of waterways in which they breed can kill the frogs' eggs. They are also affected by wild pigs which destroy the wetlands.
The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service are now breeding the frogs in laboratories, and then releasing them into the wild when they are fully grown. After the bushfires in the summer of 2002 and 2003 all the eggs in the wild were collected and taken to the Melbourne Zoo for hatching.

Q: JavaScript/HTML/CSS Halftone Lines Effect I am trying to find a library/API to convert an image and add an Halftone effect with lines, just as this image.
.
The original image is just a koala, example of this use was taken from photocarver
Basically i want to develop a web app that allows users to submit any image/photo and then apply this effect only, as a preview, and then they can submit for printing.
I just want to implement the same functionality as the one in photocarver, but i only care about the image upload and apply the effect.
The only problem i have is that i cannot find any library/API that allows me to apply this effect, i would like it to be through JavaScript. I have found 2 ways of applying this filter but it uses only dots and the effect isn't the desired one.
Questions

*

*Is there any library or API that already allows me to do this ? I have looked everywhere on GitHub, codepen and found nothing.

*I thought about implementing my own module for this but is it required to have a solid knowhow about photo effects and pixel manipulation in order to implement my own ? I have experience with JS but i understand nothing about photography/effects.

*Can i use the source code of the site that i gave above (where i got this image example) ? I tried to look at their code but i couldn't see how to take only the parts that i need in order to use on my own.

*I have an .exe that allows me to do exactly this but it is UI based. Is there any way to spawn the process through JavaScript and apply effect programatically ? I think not, because it was problably develop with .NET framework and i do not know of a way to do this using JS. The app isn't even a DLL that i could use for API calls.

*About implementing my own, has i have seen that there is no NPM module for this i'm also thinking about making one, could someone provide a guideline ? I basically just need the algorithm to apply to each image file.

Thanks in advance.

A: I try to search many solution, I reference this sample, and write this code for you, if you want to set line border and gutter, check js line 51.
JS
function drawLine(imageData){
  // settings variable
  let _width = imageData.width;
  let _height = imageData.height;
  let lineWidth = 4;
  let lineGutter = 7;
  for(let i = 0; _height>i;i+=lineGutter){
    console.log(i)
    context.beginPath();
    context.moveTo(0, i);
    context.lineTo(_width, i);
    context.lineWidth = lineWidth;
    context.strokeStyle = '#ffffff';
    context.stroke();
  }
}

The strengthening ties between China and the Middle East
Roie Yellinek
In a sign of strengthening relations, a long procession of foreign ministers from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) visited China earlier this month. In addition, two MENA nations signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) involving the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China's global infrastructure development effort. The fact that it was foreign ministers travelling to China, rather than their counterparts with the ministries of trade or economy, suggests a shift in focus from trade and economics to geopolitics. Over the past two decades the rhetoric of Chinese leaders about the MENA region has been heavily focused on trade and economics, in line with what Chinese President Xi Jinping used to refer to as "win-win cooperation," whereby China met its needs through trade with the region and MENA benefited from growth in return. Recent events suggest this dynamic has now changed, however, expanding the scope of MENA-China relations.
The GCC
On Jan. 10, foreign ministers from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman, as well as the secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), arrived in Wuxi in the coastal province of Jiangsu for a five-day visit to deepen relations with China. The high-ranking representatives of the Gulf's oil-rich monarchies held a series of meetings with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi aimed at shaping and strengthening their partnerships in the context of great power competition.
These GCC states are seeking closer ties with China, mainly to diversify their oil-dependent economies through Chinese investments. One major example of this are efforts to pave the way for a free trade agreement (FTA) between China and the GCC region. Talks over an FTA were first launched in 2004 and were reopened last year during Wang's visit to the region. There is also growing military cooperation between the two sides as well. China and Saudi Arabia have been collaborating on ballistic missile production since at least 2019, according to reports from late December 2021, and not for the first time. In addition, China is selling its HQ-17AE air defense system to Saudi Arabia and drones to the UAE.
The desire to strengthen the relationship is mutual and Beijing has also sought to bolster its ties with the GCC, which includes many of its leading trade partners and energy suppliers in the MENA region. The GCC countries that sent representatives to Wuxi are the oil exporters most focused on the Chinese market. Notably absent were the UAE and Qatar. The UAE's absence may indicate a hedging strategy, as it seeks to reduce tensions with its main security partner, the United States. Qatar's absence, however, is a bit harder to understand and may be due to an internal reason rather than an international one.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu also made an official visit to China and met with his counterpart Wang on Jan. 12. They discussed economic and technology cooperation with a focus on new energy, 5G, cloud computing, and big data. Wang demanded that his Turkish counterpart stop criticizing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its policies in Xinjiang Province and its treatment of the Uyghurs. Wang asked him to "abide by the basic norm of international relations of not interfering in each other's internal affairs."
On Jan 14., Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian visited China as well. In recent years, China has reportedly bought an increasing volume of Iranian oil despite U.S. sanctions, and Beijing has also been supporting the ongoing talks in Vienna to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, a likely topic of conversation during the discussions. In their talks the Iranian foreign minister and his Chinese counterpart paid particular attention to the 25-year China-Iran cooperation agreement, which has become a key aspect of the relationship between the two states, as well as concerns over unrest in Kazakhstan.
Wang, for his part, wanted to convey the message that China considered Iranian-supported attacks on oil infrastructure and tankers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which are critical parts of China's energy supply chain, to be dangerous provocations. It appears that Iran's efforts to engage in talks with its Arab neighbors have reduced some of the tension between Tehran and Beijing, and this visit is part of an effort to rebuild trust. However, the recent attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on the UAE will do little to help this effort and will likely be a further hurdle to the talks between Iran and its Arab neighbors.
Syria and Morocco
During the same period earlier this month, two other MENA countries also had high-level interactions with China. Syria signed an MoU to join the BRI, a lifeline in defiance of U.S. sanctions that will bring investment to a country still ravaged by more than a decade of civil war. The Global Times, a Chinese newspaper run by the CCP, framed the agreement as follows: "China wins more trust from Mideast due to equal, sincere strategy." Although it didn't mention the United States, Beijing implicitly contrasts its position with that of its sanctions-imposing rival.
China and Morocco also agreed on an MoU for the implementation of the BRI. The MoU, signed in an online conference, deepens BRI-related cooperation with Morocco, which is the first North African country to sign such an agreement with China. Alongside the obvious economic motives for the deal, which include Morocco's proximity to Western Europe and role as a gateway to Mediterranean and African markets, great power competition may also have played a part in China's rationale. Morocco has a long coastline in the Atlantic Ocean, a maritime region dominated by the United States, as well as extensive port and logistics facilities, and a larger footprint there could give the Chinese a strategic asset in the event of any future escalation between Washington and Beijing. As reported by The Wall Street Journal last month, China sought to establish a military base in Equatorial Guinea on the Atlantic coast, a proposal that the African nation rebuffed at the urging of U.S. officials, and the Chinese may be looking for an alternative location on the Atlantic.
In total, almost half of the countries in the MENA region had high-ranking officials interact with China over a period of just 10 days. This gives us a clear sense of the new world order and China's growing international role under President Xi, who is expected to start his third term next year. In this era of great power competition, the more the U.S. focuses on the Indo-Pacific to contain China, the more MENA countries perceive an American retreat from their region. At the same time, the more China increases its role in the MENA region, the more global influence it wields, as evidenced by the string of high-level meetings this month.
After years of economic-oriented ties between China and the MENA region, recent events have made it clear that a new era has begun with a greater focus on geopolitics. Even if this transformation has been slow and has taken on a different form from the well-established pattern of Western engagement with the region, it is happening and American policymakers must strive to understand it better. Many Middle Eastern countries continue to bet on parallel partnerships with Washington and Beijing as the only way to navigate the pitfalls of great power competition and preserve their countries' interests. Yet this is a risky gamble because at any point they could find themselves caught between the two sides. If the United States wants to maintain close ties with MENA states, it must help them as they navigate this complicated dynamic and seek to ensure their economic and military future.

Greenwashing in a time of global warming

The who, how, why and what?
"My journey, your travel guides - One man on a global quest: travel the world in search of home"
Would you like the long story or the short about The Longest Way Home & David Ways.
The Short Version: I grew up in a fairly extreme family environment. In other words not so nice. I spent the greater portion of my life trying to leave a place I always knew was never my home. Working, saving, surviving and dreaming.
Long before this journey I made a much shorter similar one. It turned into a travel adventure for the pure enjoyment of travel. After that it was back to work on the bigger task ahead.
Then in 2005 I began the overland part of this current journey thinking it would only take a year or so. That was 12+ years ago and yes I'm still going.
This solo migration has been a much greater task than I ever expected.
It's not so easy to find a home as I am finding out. Read my article on "The Definition of Home". Many people say home is a state of mind not a place. Well, I disagree. Why? Not having the security of a home - meaning no family or no residence - means you're truly on your own. Nothing to fall back on. If I don't find something, I am toast.
People throughout the ages have done similar things. Look at the millions clawing their way out of developing countries in search of a better place to live. And also the countless people sitting in offices around the world today dreaming of a better life elsewhere. Well I went through the same thing, and now, I'm making that dream come true.
Wanting to find a new country to live in this manner can either fall into the category of idiot with no sense or a wandering nomad. I would prefer neither stereotypes. I am quite honestly simply looking for the best place to live!
Where do you write everything?
For each country I visit there is a mini guide with several unique sections pertaining to this journey. Over the years this website I call home has become a vast travel resource that helps many people. Check out the travel resources section for things from up to date travel guides to in depth features.
The travel blog is my journal. Starting as a private diary of sorts it's developed into a modern day explorers journal which includes helpful guides and insights into local food. This world is constantly changing and I am documenting it like no one else out there.
I also founded The Digital Archaeology Foundation and Missing Trekker.
In 2014 I rewrote the standard format for guidebooks and began publishing digital guidebooks to Nepal.
In 2017 Himalayan Travel Guides published by guidebook to Nepal in print.
Why this site? I'd travelled extensively back in the 1990s before I started this current journey and kept a diary like many others do and emailed myself a copy of it as a backup. For this journey I started a small private blog as a personal online journal. Emailing myself notes just wasn't working anymore - we are talking 2005 here. But strangers stumbled onto it and started to read about my journey. It took off from there.
"With no home, this has become my place to hang my photographs and write my findings as I discover what many others would like to know ..."
I venture to places and find myself in situations very few people have documented. I am proud to say that this is no cookie cutter travel blog nor a fame-starved man's copycat attempt of a book. I know who I am and this is an original pioneering look at travel via 21st century migration.
By these means The Longest Way Home has now become one of the most read travelogues in the world. And without a doubt has become the most documented story arc in online travel history.
From all of this maybe my story can help inspire someone else or motivate them to get through some rough times and push forward with their lives. If I can do this - so can anyone!
Everything on The Longest Way Home was written, photographed, designed, coded and paid for by me.
There are no sponsored articles, posts and no trips or products have ever been paid for by anyone else other than me. The upside side to this is that everything here is 100% genuine, frank, unique and influenced by nobody. The downside? Please excuse the odd typo!
"Top Places to Travel & Photograph!
I also have a sight impaired version of my travel blog complete with audio podcasts.
So there you go. A life on the road in search of home.
Why the overland route? Did you really think you'd find a place to live in a place like Pakistan?
Overland travel is very different to just looking at a map and jumping on a plane. Visiting a place and then deciding. Overland travel allows a way to pass through not just places, but regions. I find people very important too and going overland is a great way to meet everyday people living their lives.
Places like Iran, Pakistan? Well I managed to live and work in Nigeria for 2 years. People often ask questions about places like those. Is it safe e.t.c., I am open to all places and cultures. It makes the world go round. Would I live in those places, well check out what I thought in my country sections on the top menu! Some places even surprised me.
I noticed that you did not stick with your original Map in East Europe?
Yes, this is true. Due to a Eurolines failure that you can read about here I traveled overland straight into Hungary rather than the Ukraine. The original map had been written up years beforehand. Finances and the travel route I had already completed gave me some realizations on finding a home in those countries I did not visit. This is one of the benefits of this fascinating journey. I learn as I go and share the information here.
From Hungary I went to Romania through Bulgaria and on into Turkey. My journey never moved off my planned map since then. You can see the full live overland travel map here. It's a route from the Atlantic in Portugal all the way to the Pacific in China, all overland and all solo. From there I went to The Philippines for over 2 years of travel, living abroad and the reality of social integration.
Check out that map or my travel blog to read more as I continued on through Borneo, Malaysia, South East Asia and then made a return journey to Nepal.
What? Really? Lot's of people email me looking for more information about my life. Is there not enough here? :) Everything is in my book, which is complete but not published. I am looking for a 21st century literary agent who is also interested in this type of journey. Once that is accomplished you can read a whole lot more.
However, I am now publishing some private journals and thoughts via my newsletter that comes out every quarter as a supplement to my weekly travel blog. If you'd like to read these personal journals just leave your email address on this newsletter page.
Lastly, there are many, many types of readers and fans that visit The Longest Way Home. Some people are looking for travel information. Some are looking for photography or travel stories to inspire them. Others are just passing by looking for some practical travel advice. Then there are the great people and fans who've taken an interest in my story, life and journey.
It's not possible to make everyone happy with this website. But, I do try.
If you find a place to live, will you stop your online journal?
4 years ago I would have said yes. Today, I can say that the travel journal is more about the journey than about me as a person even though I am narrating it. Moreover, it's helped many people, which is a good thing.
Leaving it here as a legacy means it will continue to help people. I imagine when I find a place to live I will also keep the journal going about what it's like to finally settle into a new country.
Meanwhile I've also created quite a lot resources here which will continue to help people even after my journey is complete. My Nepal Travel Guides are one example.
I also hope by that stage my book will be out and a lot more of the personal narratives you don't read online will be in there. And, I promise there will be some eye openers.
Beyond my journal, the practical travel guides, world travel photography, real food reviews and in depth features have really taken off in terms of helping people plan their own travels. So those will also continue.
Are you close to finding home?
Yes, is the short answer. In some ways I am at the cusp of it. I know what I am looking for. With what I've learned so far it's becoming easier to find.That's not to say I can name a country or place right now. But I am able to identify and sort through the myriad of obstacles a lot better than I was a few years ago.
I did what many unsung people have done in this world. I broke my rear end for a lifetime, saving, planning and dreaming. I worked, sacrificed and do not take luxuries while traveling. I take the backpackers route and go off the beaten path a lot. I have skipped a lot of tourist spots simply because I couldn't budget for it.
I have written a lot about this in my book which I hope will provide another income source. And, on my travel blog in How to live overseas.
Since my preteens I have basically been left alone to make it by myself; surviving. This knowledge has also helped me know how to live like I do at the moment.
I have also worked while traveling. Africa for example. In more recent years I've worked as a travel writer, photographer and webmaster. The ads on this site, hotel booking and search section and my Travel Store pay for this websites running costs. I also publish guidebooks to Nepal.
You've spent a of of time in Nepal is the journey over?
No, it's not. I'm not Nepali, nor can a "foreigner" ever be granted the right to vote or own land in Nepal. This is not an uncommon thing outside of the "developed" world. Many people are surprised to learn this.
Would I make a home in Nepal if I could? Probably yes. Can I though? No. So the journey continues. Along the way in Nepal I have developed the best guide to Nepal, have been the first in history to digitally reconstruct and preserve Nepal's temples through the Digital Archaeology Foundation project and I've also founded MissingTrekker.com.
I believe that one can do good in the world as one makes a journey though it.
I know it's not easy to look at my life from the outside. How many people do you know that have no family, home and are out there like this? I am putting all my cards on the table here. It's my one chance and I am running with it!
if you don't "get" this journey. Or don't understand it. Then no problem. There are also some great articles on fantastic destinations here and many more resources that can help you travel.
If you do "get" this journey then dive right in. Search and explore this website for every ounce of information I've stored here that could also help you on your own journey in life or in travel.
Meanwhile you're certainly welcome to join in and travel along with me!
Sign up, and have my weekly travel journals delivered to your email for FREE!

A month ago, my uncle, Harold Hanuman's grand daughter, Shanti got married and she invited almost all the Hanuman family. It was good to see the family in Minneapolis. Ramesh (left)asked me to take a picture of him and his brother Suresh. Their wives Sita and Radha are in the background. On Monday morning, Ramesh called to say his brother, Suresh passed away in his sleep.
Booneet Gupta Hanuman, 62 years old aka Suresh passed away in Minneapolis Minnesota. He is the son of the late Johny & Betty Hanuman. He is survived by his loving wife Sita, 2 children and grand children.
Funeral service and cremation is on Oct 21, 12 to 6 pm at Cremation Society of Minnesota, 4343 Nicollet Ave, South Minneapolis , MN 55409.
Yamonee, you visited us when you came to Minneapolis this past Summer for that happy event. I am so sorry to hear of Suresh's passing. My deepest sympathy to the Hanuman family and loved ones.
My sincere condolences goes out to the Suresh Hanoman family. Suresh Hanoman grandfather Shakey Hanoman is my grandmother Sahodri brother from Rose Hall Village. Mr. Shakey was a successful businessman – he owns a rice mill and a gas station in Rose Hall. He was also responsible for the construction of the Rose Hall Hindu Mandir. He was a wonderful gentleman – he has left a legacy and mark in the Village. He was kind and generous. He had four sons viz Johnny, Harold, Sunny, Ronald and one daughter Evelyn. Johnny had a Trucking and Saw Mill business and Harold and Sunny managed the Rice Mill. Unfortunately most of them has gone to the great beyond. Once again on behalf of myself and family we express our heartfelt sympathy to the entire Hanoman family. God Speed.
Johnny the eldest son of Shakey Hanoman , is the only one who has passed away.
Sunny and Harold are in Minneapolis, Ronald is in Webster City , Iowa, still teaches at a Junior college, Evelyn ( Yamonee's mother) is in Chicago. They are all doing well ,considering their age.


DURHAM, N.C. – The 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is now available, released by the Durham County Department of Public Health (DCoDPH). The survey is part of a national school-based survey, produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and given biannually in partnership with Durham Public Schools and DCoDPH. The goal of this survey is to assess health risk behaviors that can contribute to injury and leading causes of death among the adolescent population.
Topics of the survey include: personal safety, violence-related behavior, sexual health, physical activity, substance use, nutrition, psychological health, body weight, school environment, and selected prevention-related indicators. YRBS results are used by state and local education and public health officials to develop and track goals, seek funding for programs, implement strategies, and inform policies that promote prevention and health promotion among youth.
Data from the 2017 YRBS is available on the Partnership for a Health Durham's website, www.healthydurham.org.
Overall, the percentage of high school students who slept eight or more hours a night increased from 17% in 2015 to 28% in 2017.The change in the bell schedule at DPS may have contributed to the increase in sleep.
Nearly half of middle school students (47%) and a third (33%) of high school students reported being physically active for at least 60 minutes per day on five or more days per week.
A total of 61% of middle school students and 51% of high school students reported seeing another student bullied at school.
A total of 26% of middle school students and 30% of high school students reported feelings of depression in the past year.
Marijuana was reported as the most commonly used substance within the month leading up to the survey for all school levels.
A total of 2,653 DPS students participated in the YRBS (1,357 middle school and 1,296 high school students). DPS collected surveys from 11 of 12 high schools.
For more information and to view the full YRBS Report and other health reports, visit www.healthydurham.org or contact Denver Jameson at dajameson@dconc.gov or 919.560.7832.


The Gaze of God pierces me through.
It opens my eyes as I gaze back.
For the gaze is full of love, helping to be free.
And helps me know I am all right.
I want to receive it and give it back in return.
Or just enjoy His loving encounter.
Thank you, oh my Beloved, for gazing on me.

It was one month until publication, and there was blood everywhere.
Nothing else was going especially smoothly, either. An edit of the main story had just come back to me and needed an overhaul. There was still reporting to be done. Our interview with the state was coming up.
I had three options, as I saw it: Build a scrollytelling website from scratch, keep trying to shoehorn my code into the CMS we were using, or give up on our original design concept.
After much hand wringing, I gave up.
And it was the best decision I could have made.
I began poking around the New Jersey medical examiner system early in 2016. I'd just published an in-depth look at the heroin crisis in New Jersey and employees from within the system began contacting me, suggesting I should look into the system, which they said had been in shambles for decades and was under added duress due to the influx of drug overdose cases.
After some sniffing around, I made a records request to the state for a database containing every death that had been referred to their system in the past two decades. I knew the database existed, and found out exactly what it was called before I made my request, which might've made all the difference.
Still, it took six months of negotiating, appealing denials, and legal pressure before the state coughed it up. It was details of 420,000 people who died under suspicious or unknown circumstances in New Jersey from 1996 to 2015.
With some analysis, it was pretty clear that what our sources had been saying was true. New Jersey was turning away two-thirds of the cases it was asked to investigate. The cases that did receive an examination or autopsy were taking months to complete. And some doctors were performing an excessive amount of autopsies—far more than limits set by the national accrediting agencies.
Through reporting this out, Sean and I discovered a series of horrendous cases. Body parts had gone missing, people who were likely innocent were rotting in jail, and the state was potentially ignoring dozens of child murders, which doctors had been screaming were being overlooked for well over a decade.
We're constantly looking for novel approaches to storytelling at NJ Advance Media, and I'm lucky to work at a place that allows us to push boundaries, even when some of the ideas tossed around are ludicrously dumb.
Through reporting the medical examiner story, Sean and I had collected at least a dozen personal anecdotes from people who had been beaten and battered by the state's medical examiner system. Our story was pushing 10,000 words already, so we were having trouble getting them all into a mainbar we knew would have to be cut anyways.
It's the same idea employed by the Holocaust Museum to great effect. Here, each person would get a different version of the story: Different lede, sections of text, videos, graphics—all of which would pertain to one case we had profiled.
So we built all the parts, which included the agonizing process of writing seven different ledes to our story. Then came the tricky part, getting several disconnected elements to randomly populate the same thread of information for one of our cases on the CMS we were using: ReadyMag.
We nearly got it to work. Nearly.
We built a script that would generate a random integer from 1 to 7 and use it to trigger segments of JSON that matched that number up and down the entire project. And it worked, until it didn't.
ReadyMag allows you to insert code, but says to do so "at your own risk and proceed with extreme caution." Essentially, if you break it, they're not going to help.
Scrap it and move on.
Two elements that didn't make it into the final piece. Top: an auto-populating toe tag. Bottom: one of seven possible second-person ledes.
Every fiber of my being wanted our original second-person concept to work. I'd spent months on building the framework in ReadyMag and had enlisted colleagues to help build out the custom content. When it worked, it looked super cool, but we still needed to work out design kinks.
We scrapped the second-person idea for the mainbar and focused on simpler graphics and other elements to fill out the story and showcase some of the anecdotes we'd reported out. It was the best decision I could've made.
I leaned heavily on my brilliant team: Carla Astudillo, Erin Petenko, and Disha Raychaudhuri. Together, we built out two locally focused tools that allowed residents to see how bad the medical examiner was in their neighborhood and contact their legislators if they wanted to take action.
I used the framework from one of Carla's projects to showcase five of the custom videos we'd made for the anecdotes. I focused on making the graphics we had clean and seamless, and we published on time—just as a new governor was taking office.
The story got a swift response, was just shortlisted for two Data Journalism Awards, and got a nod from the Headliner Awards, 2nd place for interactive or web project. The most important thing to me is that the reform bill prompted by our work passed the assembly last week, leaving only the governor's signature for it to become law. Not one person has voted against it through both houses and four committees. Barring a change of heart, it will likely be the catalyst that completely rebuilds a medical examiner system that has withered on the vine for more than four decades.
I still think our original concept was a good one, just not good enough to delay or ruin 18 months of reporting and investigation.

For what is worth, the Veloster is an outstanding hatchback that pushed boundaries with an out-of-box design. But it was too playful ever to be considered a hot hatch. So Hyundai decided to build the i30 N that would give the Golf GTI and perhaps even the Civic Type R some sleepless nights.
Throw tameness out of the door because the i30 N is armed with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces 275hp and 353Nm of torque. Load it up with a six-speed manual gearbox, the i30 N executes the 0-100kph sprint in 6.1 seconds and up to a top speed of 250kph.
To make sure that the i30N isn't just fast on the straight line, Hyundai didn't hold back to put agility into this hatchback. The i30 N is equipped with the Electronic Controlled Suspension, N Traction & Stability Control and N Corner Carving Differential. So maybe the Cacao Corner is real after all.
Of course, as with all modern hot hatchbacks, the i30 N is also engineered with drive modes. Appropriately called the N Grin Control System, the drive modes that are available to be selected are Normal, Sport, N, N Custom and Eco. The drive modes not only turns the drivetrain into Hulk but also alters the chassis setting to match the engine's aggression.
The Hyundai i30 N does sound like a whole lot of fun, and it looks the part too. It is a shame that the i30 N isn't available on our shores, would have made things around here more interesting.
