MEDICAL DEVICES: WILL LOWER PRICE POINT ATTRACT BUYERS?
Startup Offers MS Solutions
By Antonio Pequeño IV
Evolution Devices was founded in July 2017 after Pier Mantovani's father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Seeing his father struggle to walk thereafter, Mantovani was inspired to create a company dedicated to producing neuro-rehabilitative technology.
More than four years later, Evolution Devices has designed a muscle stimulation wearable named EvoWalk that will be paired with a digital physical therapy platform.
The AI-powered EvoWalk is a muscle stimulator that uses motion tracking and machine learning to treat a range of walking impairments for people who suffer from things such as Parkinson's disease, strokes or multiple sclerosis. The device works by timing where users are in their walk, then triggering muscle activation to compensate for whatever walking impairment the user has.

Emigrant Museum Links Past and Present
Far From Home Emigrant Museum Links Past and Present Immigration is often viewed from an outside perspective, which follows immigrants' lives as they set once arriving in a new country, rather than seeing the reasons for leaving their homeland. Pioneering Icelanders left for faraway lands in pursuit of prosperity or a new adventure. The Emigration Museum in Hofsós tells stories of emigration from Iceland during its height from 1870 until 1914. Poignant Mail The voices invoked through records and letters mailed back home tell the perils of life in a new land. Most fared well with easily acquired land parcelled out to any newcomers, but some saw all of their children perish in lands where they lacked stronger links like those left behind in Iceland. Most of the immigrants settled in North America, setting up communities throughout parts of Canada and the United States. It is estimated that the equivalent of another Iceland, 300,000 people with Icelandic heritage, lives scattered across North America. Poverty and Class Poverty prompted mass emigration from Iceland, with people often looking to escape conditions close to feudal servitude. Numerous people had no land and worked for large farms owned by the wealthier classes. The emigrants made up approximately one quarter of the entire population and their difficult lives made leaving an easier decision. Starting out fresh in countries where land was plentiful and class distinctions negligible allowed poor emigrants a chance to free themselves from the rigid social mores of Iceland's lower classes. Vagaries of Nature The Emigration Museum links harsh winters with heavy pack ice that ruined farms and diminished fish stocks to spikes in migration during the following years. Famine was always a threat, as the weather often caused living conditions to teeter on the brink of being uninhabitable. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, led to entire villages fleeing the fallout and resettling in countries where nature's violent forces were less volatile. The Journey Each room in the Emigration Museum tracks different stages of the emigrants' journey from Iceland. Following the reasons for departure are rooms recreated to resemble the hold of a ship that took the Icelanders to their new homes. Initially, ships were packed with people, sleeping head to toe in cramped quarters that they frequently shared with animals. The final section of the museum displays photos and letters written by Icelanders detailing their lives in new countries. Finding Family People of Icelandic descent can even trace their heritage by talking to museum staff who have access to many genealogical records from Iceland and settlement areas in North America.

Born in 1962 in Manila, Jonathan studied Piano, Voice and Choral Conducting at the University of the Philippines College of Music. He later furthered his conducting studies at the Berliner Kirchenmusikschule in Berlin, Germany.
Jonathan served as a member and assistant conductor of the Philippine Madrigal Singers. In 1998, he founded the Philippine Chamber Choir. Jonathan also became the first Asian principal conductor of the World Youth Choir. He was was judge at the 2002, 2004, and 2006 Choir Olympics in Busan, Bremen and Xiamen, as well as other choral competitions in Belgium, Hungary, Spain, Germany, Malaysia and Hongkong. Jonathan has also conducted many workshops and choral clinics in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States.
He was also the guest conductor of the Ateneo de Manila College Glee Club during their European tours in 2000 and 2001, where he led the choir to win the top awards in competitions including the choral contest at Marktdoberdorf, Germany.
He has served as the ACS' music director and conductor since 2001. He is the incumbent president of the Philippine Choral Directors Association (PCDA).
Toma was practically born into music. Belonging to a widely-known musical family, he has been listening and watching everything that has to do with music since childhood. During summer breaks when he was younger, he would also help out at the Music School of Ryan Cayabyab, where he got to both teach and perform.
His first time singing with a choir was with the Ateneo Boys Choir on his 4th grade. He fondly recalls the busy Christmas seasons where the boys choir would carol at hotels and perform at big performance halls. Upon entering college, however, Toma took a slightly different track. He finished AB Communications at the Ateneo in 2013. Pursuing a production track, Toma wanted to build a career in film. Today, he is taking his second degree at the University of the Philippines Conservatory of Music - major in Choral Conducting.
The 25-year-old joined the ACS in 2015. He said that he was a super fan of the ACS, and that this choir brought him back to the glorious days of the San Miguel Foundation for the Performaning Arts to which he was exposed when he was much younger. From the ACS repertoire, his favorites include "Two for the Road," everything written by Ryan Cayabyab (no joke!), and all songs Christmas.
Toma loves jazz music the most. He dreams of becoming an orchestra conductor by day and a jazz singer by night, picking up from a very strong family tradition in music.

Nestle Again Fails to Secure Trade Mark Protection for KitKat
Michael Coyle
This means that Nestle has failed again to secure trade mark protection for the shape of its KitKat bar- the popular four-finger snack.
In January, last year in the decision handed by the Court of Appeal, Mr Justice Arnold had commented that the KitKat shape had not acquired distinctive character and further Nestle had not promoted the shape of the four-finger bar as a selling point due to the fact that the packaging hid the shape of the design.
Nestle appealed the January decision. It argued that a "substantial proportion" of the relevant consumers, when presented with the 3D shape, identified it as a KitKat and that when they identified the shape, they meant a "specific product from a specific source".
Today's High Court decision upholds the High Court ruling.
Chancellor of the High Court Lord Justice Vos, Lord Justice Kitchin and Lord Justice Floyd have issued a unanimous opinion.
Kitchin commented: "We are concerned here with a mark, the 3D shape of a chocolate product, that has no distinctiveness." He stated that consumers are not likely to take it as a badge of origin, in the way that they would a newly coined word. He further said "Now assume that products in that shape have been sold on a very large scale under and by reference to a brand name which is inherently highly distinctive". He added "the shape should be assumed to have become well-known in this way". He continued; "That does not necessarily mean that the public have come to perceive the shape as a origin such that they would rely upon it alone to identify the product as coming from a particular source." He further added "that the public may regard the shape as a characteristic of such products or find that it brings to mind the product and brand name with which they have become familiar."
In Kitchin's opinion these kinds of recognition and association do not amount to distinctiveness in trade mark cases.
A spokesperson for Nestle has stated that the company was disappointed by the judgment and is considering next steps. It was further stated "This judgment does not mean that our four-finger shape is now free for use in the UK or elsewhere. KitKat is much loved around the world and its four finger-shape is well known by consumers".
Nestle may now appeal to the UK Supreme Court.
A spokesperson for Mondalez- the owner of Cadbury commented "We are pleased with the Court of Appeal's decision today and welcome their conclusion. As we have previously stated, we do not believe the shape of the KitKat should be protected as a trade mark in the UK."

Senate Republicans Denounce White House's Offer for Coronavirus Relief
Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, a Republican, warned that accepting a bill with Ms. Pelosi's support would amount to a "death knell" for the party's ambitions to retain its majority in the Senate and would "deflate" the Republican base, reflecting longstanding concerns among senators eager to protect their credentials as fiscal hawks and stave off primary challengers in the next election cycle.
Senator John Barrasso, Republican of Wyoming, declared that accepting a Democratic push to expand elements of the Affordable Care Act would be "an enormous betrayal" of Republican voters. Republicans have also voiced concerns that the health care provisions Democrats have pressed for could result in the use of federal funds for abortions, a characterization Democrats dispute.
"I don't get it," Senator Rick Scott, Republican of Florida, said of the administration's efforts to reach a sweeping bipartisan deal with House Democrats, echoing the sentiments of multiple senators.
Ms. Pelosi, for her part, informed Democratic lawmakers that she found elements of Mr. Mnuchin's proposal to be inadequate, writing in a letter on Saturday that "this proposal amounted to one step forward, two steps back." After scaling down House Democrats' original $3.4 trillion proposal to $2.2 trillion, she has been unwilling to accept much less than that.
"When the president talks about wanting a bigger relief package, his proposal appears to mean that he wants more money at his discretion to grant or withhold," Ms. Pelosi wrote, adding "at this point, we still have disagreement on many priorities." She ticked off a number of unresolved issues, including what she said was insufficient funding for unemployment benefits, child care, and state and local governments, and "reckless" liability protections that Republicans have insisted are a priority.
She said she was waiting for specific language from the administration about several provisions, including a national strategy for testing and tracing to contain the spread of the virus. It remained unclear whether she and Mr. Mnuchin would speak over the weekend.
Moderate Republicans, particularly those who are facing tough re-election races, are among the few senators who have voiced support for a bipartisan coronavirus deal and expressed few reservations about the pice tag. A handful of those senators, on a private call with Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, pushed for action on a bipartisan deal, particularly after Mr. Trump briefly withdrew negotiators from talks and gave Democrats political cover for failure to reach an agreement.

This Year, The Most Wonderful Time For Christmas Songs Was ... In July Stations have been playing Christmas music earlier than ever this year, as a way of luring in listeners during the pandemic. One Indiana station was doing it in July.
In Pandemic, The Most Wonderful Time For Christmas Songs Turned Out To Be ... In July

A toy reindeer is shown on a white background. Radio stations, looking to boost ratings and provide comfort in a pandemic-marred year, started playing songs as early as July. And listeners loved it.
When listeners in Fort Wayne, Indiana, tuned into Majic 95.1 in July, they heard something both unexpected and all-too-familiar. The station was playing Christmas music. In the heat of summer.
With the pandemic making life miserable for people, the station was looking for a way to appeal to listeners and boost its ratings, and Christmas songs can be a dependable way of doing so.
"We knew that the world was topsy-turvy and we just knew from playing Christmas music over the years that there's something special about it that people connect with," says Chris Didier, operations manager at Majic 95.1, whose on-air name is Captain Chris.
Decking The Halls With Christmas Lights Brightens A Dark 2020
All over the country this year, stations have been playing Christmas music much earlier than normal. One Memphis station started doing it right after Halloween. Another in Youngstown, Ohio, was decking the halls in September.
The radio industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, with ratings falling as much as 50% at first, although they have since rebounded somewhat, says Mike McVay, a radio industry veteran who now works as a consultant.
"There was an incredible drop in listening, mainly because of listening habits. A lot of people who listen to radio listen in their car, and suddenly if you're working at home and not commuting, that changed that," he says.
A Jazz Piano Christmas: 2020
Station officials figured that starting the holidays a bit early might be a way to lure listeners back home.
After all, Christmas music has been a reliable source of ratings gold since around 1990, when 99.9 KEZ, an adult contemporary station in Phoenix, created the format.
"We had every consultant, every research person that I could think of, before we did it told us, 'You are crazy. Do not do it.'" says Jerry Ryan, former vice president and general manager at the radio station.
But the format turned out to be an enormous success, and within a few years hundreds of stations were playing non-stop Christmas music for 24 hours a day.
Looking For Cheer, Washingtonians Have Been Rushing Out To Buy Christmas Trees
As the industry discovered, Christmas music can create a powerful emotional bond with an audience, bringing in listeners of all demographics, who want to hear vintage tunes like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas."
Still, there have traditionally been limits to how far radio stations have been willing to go.
KEZ, the Phoenix radio station, traditionally began to air Christmas songs right after Thanksgiving, and Ryan says doing so much earlier than that can be jarring for an audience.
"I don't think there's a heck of a lot of emotional value to Christmas music outside of that particular time," Ryan says.
National Christmas Tree Lighting Goes Virtual, ZooLights Goes Mobile This Year
Not this year, however.
In an unprecedented year marked by the pandemic, many stations say the earlier start to airing Christmas songs has actually been a success with listeners.
Take Majic 95.1, for example.
"We got incredible feedback. Lots of calls, lots of emails, people saying, 'Yes, thank you for doing this, we really love the Christmas music,'" says Captain Chris of Majic 95.1 of its decision to play holiday music in July.
Emily Boldon, vice president of adult contemporary radio at Cumulus Media, which has some two dozen stations employing the holiday format, says she's seen a similar response.
And she has a theory about what's happening. She says listeners associate Christmas with the year ending, and this has been a really terrible year.
"I think everybody is trying to rush the holiday this year just so we can get beyond it," Boldon says. "I really truly believe the audience was just ready to get to the end of 2020 as fast as possible this year."


Recently, inflammation has been revealed to be the culprit behind a variety of diseases and conditions. Fighting and eliminating inflammation has now become a priority in Western medicine since it has been linked to heart disease and cancer, the two most deadly diseases of our time. And, although there are medications that can reduce inflammation, the best way to eliminate it is naturally.
Fighting inflammation naturally is actually pretty simple – all you need to do is take a mix of cinnamon and turmeric. Both have been cornerstones of folk medicine in the past thanks to their variety of nutrients. Cinnamon, for example, is full of antioxidants, manganese, and calcium among other nutrients. The sweet spice can keep our blood sugar levels in check while also lowering the risk of heart disease and cancer. Furthermore, it has also exhibited powerful anti-microbial and antifungal properties in many studies.
Turmeric is a mainstay in natural medicine and a huge part of the ancient Ayurveda practice. It has been used as a natural remedy against inflammation for more than a few millennia, against simple and complex diseases and conditions as well. Turmeric works great against arthritis and can boost the function of our heart and brain while reducing inflammation at the same time.
We've been using both spices in our meals for quite a long time without being aware that they're the key to reducing inflammation. Although the combination of turmeric and cinnamon seems unorthodox, it works amazing and without any side-effects. Taking the mixture will eliminate inflammation in your body without putting your health in danger as medications do.
There's a third ingredient in the inflammation-busting recipe that completes the mix – green tea. A rich source of antioxidants and polyphenols, green tea's powerful effects on our health have been known for centuries. Drinking it regularly will lower blood sugar and inflammation, control your cholesterol levels and prevent liver and heart problems. At the same time, green tea can help you lose weight while also fighting a whole range of conditions and diseases.
The tea is very simple to prepare, even if you're not that deft in the kitchen.
The mixture can be easily prepared with the help of a French press. Just add everything inside, add water to halfway and steep for 5 minutes. Leave the tea to cool down, add some ice, the lemon slices and drink this delicious mixture. The refreshing taste will surprise you – it's a great drink for the summer.
At the same time, you'll be able to lose weight and fight inflammation, lowering the risk of various disorders.

A Floating City (S.S Great Eastern) by Jules Verne, Charles Scribner's Sons1904.
Hard back book red cloth binding 5.5"x 4" pp.196. Numerous spirited engravings by a leading French illustrator, Jules Férat who executed no less than 47 plates for the first French edition published in 1871. Subsequent editions and most foreign editions carried fewer. This American edition includes 28 of the best. It is not clear if the illustrator traveled on the ship, or if he worked from photographs but apart from some slight exaggeration as to size he has caught the appearance of the vessel.
A Floating City (S.S Great Eastern) by Jules Verne, Charles Scribner's Sons1904.[ebook] quantity
Categories: LONDON THAMES DOCKLANDS, Shipping and Waterways, LINERS
After the success of her Atlantic cable laying venture, a French consortium chartered the Great Eastern for a final attempt at using her as a transatlantic passenger steamer
In March 1867, with a number of successful stage shows and four novels in the "Extraordinary Journeys" series ("Five weeks in a Balloon", "The Adventures of Captain Hatteras", "Five Weeks in a Balloon" and "From the Earth to the Moon") behind him. The 37 year-old Jules Verne arrived at the original Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, about to set off to America, to gather material for future projects. These would include "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1869) where the decor of the main saloon on the "Nautilus" is compared with that of the Adelphi.
Verne checked into the hotel on 18th March (sailing day was advertised as the 20th ) and on the 19th, anxious to see as much of the preparations for departure as possible, sought permission to go on board that day. He was in for a bit of a shock. Too big for any dock, too big to moor at any wharf, the Great Eastern was moored in the middle of the Mersey three miles upstream from Princes Landing Stage, as near as possible to the Vauxhall Foundry of George Forrester & Co., Engineers and Millwrights. Forresters had a contract for £50,000 (about 2.3 million at 2010 prices) to fit new boilers, undertake a thorough refit and install steam powered steering gear. Somewhat daunted by climbing the equivalent of a four story building from the pitching deck of the tender to the foredeck of the Great Eastern, Verne was astonished to find the ship swarming with workmen of every description, machinery parts being loaded down to the paddle engine room, clutter and rubbish everywhere and a thin grey slimy mud coating the decks. Needless to say, she did not sail as advertised.
The Great Eastern's final westbound Atlantic voyage eventually began on 26th March, with only 126 passengers aboard. Verne gives a day by day account of the voyage describing the behavior of the ship under different weather conditions, daily distance travelled, all enlivened by descriptions of life on board and of his fellow passengers some of whom are distinctly "odd". The only spoiling factor is the extremely silly "Romance" which runs through the book. One can tell that it is written by a Frenchman, the denoument being a duel with swords on deck in a terrific thunder storm between the hero and the villain. Guess who gets struck by lightning!
I can claim a very slight connection with the Great Eastern, although it may be apocryphal. My grandfather (not the Berengaria rats one, the other) was born during the American Civil War and was a keen swimmer. As an impoverished young man in the 1880s he claimed to have earned money by diving for coins off the deck of the Great Eastern when she was moored in the Mersey as a floating advertisement for Lewis' Department store
This is an enjoyable book if you ignore the silly plot and probably the nearest it is possible to get now to experiencing what a voyage on theGreat Eastern was like.

The term comes from the inventive language created by doctors the world over to insult their patients.  Utilised by doctors and Social Services in Norfolk and elsewhere to depict patients of lesser intellect, some were moved to record the letters 'NFN' against the personal details of certain clients, where they were considered to be a bit strange or had peculiar habits.  According to the urban myth, such clients were so common in that area that they were considered normal as far as Norfolk was concerned.

The term is considered derogatory because it portrays people from Norfolk as normally being strange, or peculiar with an inference that they are in-bred. The portrayal of people from Norfolk in this light is a common stereotype in England.

Within Norfolk itself, the phrase may also be known as "Normal for Wisbech", which is in neighbouring Cambridgeshire.  In addition, most areas of the country have a regional variation of NFN, e.g. in North-West England, NFS (Normal for Stoke) may be heard.

Path in Talks to Sell Social Networking App to South Korea's KakaoTalk
Indonesia, InspirAsia April 22, 2015 April 27, 2015
RE/CODE: Path is in serious talks to sell its original social networking app, known as Path Classic, to the makers of South Korean messaging app KakaoTalk, according to multiple sources familiar with the deal.
The potential acquisition — the terms of which are still unknown — would give KakaoTalk's parent company Daum Kakao a major foothold in Indonesia, where Path is a leading social app. The company has 30 million active users, the majority of whom live in Indonesia.
Selling off Path Classic would extract San Francisco-based Path from its somewhat strange position of making an app that never gained traction at home in the United States, and is primarily used in a country halfway around the world by an audience that has proven hard to monetize.
Nearly five years after it first released its private small-group social network app, Path has now reoriented itself as a sort of app studio, adding a messaging spinoff called Path Talk (that also allows people to message businesses), and a selfie GIF app called Kong, which was released just last week. Tellingly, perhaps, it's only available to users in the United States.
Sources familiar with the conversations say Path, which has raised more than $75 million in funding, would continue to operate independently after selling off the social networking app.
Path has been a frequent target of rumor speculation, and it has been widely reported that Google had made a $100 million offer for the company within its first few months of launching. This, however, appears to be the real deal.
Path declined to comment. Daum Kakao did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (Update: A Daum Kakao spokesperson also declined to comment.)
In the global fight for messaging apps, competitors tend to dominate on a country-by-country basis: KakaoTalk in its home base of South Korea; Line in Japan and much of Southeast Asia; WeChat in China; and WhatsApp in many other places around the world.
According to sources, KakaoTalk and Line have both been spending enormous amounts of money on marketing — thought to be tens of millions of dollars — on trying to acquire market share in Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia with a population of 250 million, many of whom are exceedingly active on mobile and social apps.
An acquisition would help bring a return to Path's investors, which include First Round Capital, Shasta Ventures, Greylock Partners, Index Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers — and, most recently, Indonesia's Bakrie Global Group.

Q: Yanking in the presence of folds I have relativenumber set, and my foldmethod is indent. Consider the following mwe:
I want to copy this
    This is indented
    Just like this
now copy

with folds, this becomes something like
I want to copy this
+-- 2 lines bla bla
now copy

If I'm on the last line, relativenumber will show something like
  2 I want to copy this
  1 +-- 2 lines bla bla
4   now copy

and I want to yank the line that is 2 lines before the current line, as relativenumber tells me.
So I do
:.-2y

But this will actually yank the entire folded block.
Q: Is there a way to still yank the lines I need while not having to do any weird arithmetic*?
*The arithmetic should be
(Actual number) = (Relative number) + (Number of folded lines) - (Number of folds),

this is very impractical for speed

A: As far as I know, there is no way to change the behavior of the yank command to work as you want it to work, since the values of ".+x" is expanded before they get to the command itself, and I don't know about any way to change the behavior of this.
But, with a little vimscript, this problem is solvable. I wrote a couple of vim function that would allow you to run the exact logic that you want to do.
This code snippet would allow you to run the yank command with relative range to the current location, and the command would work as you want it to:
" This file is created to handle the case in which the y ex command behaves
" different than expected when it is run with relative line number.
" Those functions behaves a bit different than the behavior of the y command,
" the y command gets the argument as range before it, with a range relative or
" absolute. The functions in this module gets a relative range from the current
" line (they can get a negative range as well).
" Those functions have commands at the bottom of the script, they should be used
" to run the function (and can be re-mapped to different values, for shorter
" typing).

" Yank a single line, getting only the line you want to yank. The value of the
" line should be relative to the current line.
function! s:YankByEnd(end_line)
    " Save the current location, to know where to return to.
    let current_line = line('.')

    " Copy the wanted line.
    if a:end_line > 0
        execute 'normal ' . string(a:end_line) . 'jyy'
    elseif a:end_line < 0
        let move_by = a:end_line * -1
        execute 'normal ' . string(move_by) . 'kyy'
    else
        execute 'normal yy'
    endif

    " Return to the original location.
    execute 'normal ' . current_line . 'gg'
endfunction

" Yank a range of lines, getting the lines you want to yank. The value of the
" lines should be relative to the current line.
function! s:YankByStartAndEnd(start_line, end_line)
    " Save the current location, to know where to return to.
    let current_line = line('.')

    " Get the start line.
    if a:start_line > 0
        execute 'normal ' . string(a:start_line) . 'j'
    elseif a:start_line < 0
        let move_by = a:start_line * -1
        execute 'normal ' . string(move_by) . 'k'
    endif
    let start_line = line('.')
    execute 'normal ' . current_line . 'gg'

    " Get the end line.
    if a:end_line > 0
        execute 'normal ' . string(a:end_line) . 'j'
    elseif a:end_line < 0
        let move_by = a:end_line * -1
        execute 'normal ' . string(move_by) . 'k'
    endif
    let end_line = line('.')
    execute 'normal ' . current_line . 'gg'

    " Copy the lines
    execute start_line . "," end_line . "yank"

    " Return to the original location.
    execute 'normal ' . current_line . 'gg'
endfunction

command! -nargs=1 YankSingleLine call <SID>YankByEnd(<f-args>)
command! -nargs=* YankMultipleLines call <SID>YankByStartAndEnd(<f-args>)

If you would add this file and source it (or add it directly to your vimrc), you would be able to run the commands as you want them.
For example, to run the command you wanted to run in the your original example, simply run the command:
:YankSingleLine -2

and the wanted line would be yanked.
I also have a script that does the same thing, but it is more generic, to enable running more command, and not only the specific yank command.
This is the script:
" This file is created to handle the case in which an ex command behaves
" different than expected when it is run with relative line number and folds.
" Those functions behaves a bit different than the behavior of the regular ex
" command.
" A regular ex command gets the argument as range before it, with a range
" relative or absolute. The functions in this module gets a relative range
" from the current line (they can get a negative range as well) and the command
" to run.

" Run an ex command on a single line. The value of the line should be relative
" to the current line.
function! RunByEnd(end_line, command)
    " Save the current location, to know where to return to.
    let current_line = line('.')

    " Get the line to run the command on.
    if a:end_line > 0
        execute 'normal ' . string(a:end_line) . 'j'
    elseif a:end_line < 0
        let move_by = a:end_line * -1
        execute 'normal ' . string(move_by) . 'k'
    endif
    let end_line = line(".")

    " Get back to the original location.
    execute 'normal ' . current_line . 'gg'

    " Run the command.
    execute end_line . a:command
endfunction

" Run an ex command on a range of lines. The value of the lines should be
" relative to the current line.
function! RunByStartAndEnd(start_line, end_line, command)
    " Save the current location, to know where to return to.
    let current_line = line('.')

    " Get the start line.
    if a:start_line > 0
        execute 'normal ' . string(a:start_line) . 'j'
    elseif a:start_line < 0
        let move_by = a:start_line * -1
        execute 'normal ' . string(move_by) . 'k'
    endif
    let start_line = line('.')
    execute 'normal ' . current_line . 'gg'

    " Get the end line.
    if a:end_line > 0
        execute 'normal ' . string(a:end_line) . 'j'
    elseif a:end_line < 0
        let move_by = a:end_line * -1
        execute 'normal ' . string(move_by) . 'k'
    endif
    let end_line = line('.')

    " Return to the original location.
    execute 'normal ' . current_line . 'gg'

    " Run the given command.
    execute start_line . "," end_line . a:command
endfunction

Using it, you would be able to run any command that you want, but you need to add the original command you wanted to run.
To fix you problem using this script, you can run the command:
:call RunByEnd(-2, "y")

It's not unusual to see families linked by shared interests in a farming venture. But a Dutch cooperative has taken the idea to a new and exciting extreme. Herenboeren ("Gentleman Farmer") has brought 165 families together as co-owners of a diversified operation on 50 acres of rented parkland in the city of Boxtel in the southern Netherlands. The idea is spreading across the country as new Herenboeren pop up.
Families pay a one-time fee of €2,000 ($2,267), then a weekly share of approximately €10 ($11) per person for a portion of the farm's vegetables, beef, pork, eggs, chicken, and fruit.
The money, boosted by a grant from a foundation called Marggraff Stichting, covers an annual operating budget of $295,000. That includes the $51,000 annual salary of Geert van der Bruggen, Herenboeren's hired farmer.
Van der Bruggen, who grew up on a dairy farm, managed cattle, brokered potatoes, and sold tractors, was one of three applicants who responded to the founders' 2015 want ad in the newspaper.
The guts to do it. "We wanted somebody who looks like Geert," says Boudewijn Tooren, one of the founders of Herenboeren. Another co-founder, Douwe Korting, adds that van der Bruggen's qualifications extend beyond his university degree in livestock management and his job experience.
Douwe Korting is one of the founders of Herenboeren, and is working to spread the idea nationwide.
"He has got the guts to do it," Korting says.
Van der Bruggen is responsible for producing 55 different kinds of vegetables, beef from a rare Dutch breed called Brandrood (Fiery Red), pork from free-range hogs, poultry, and tree fruit from a three-year-old orchard—all without pesticides. Needless to say, he is on a steep, constant learning curve. And he's doing all that learning in public view.
As they watch, Herenboeren families are also discovering the realities of farming, from droughted-out crops to foxes in the hen house. Those real-world lessons have brought the community closer to the farm and the farmer, Tooren points out.
practical line—"You've got the cauliflower, and you've got the nutrition of the caterpillar"—followed quickly by tips for soaking the vegetable heads in salty water to float out the worms.
Mattie du Vivier, who works at a power plant, volunteers at Herenboeren on Saturdays. Here, he readies produce for pickup from the farm cooperative's 165 member families in Boxtel, near the Dutch city of Eindhoven.
Ultimately, the reality checks will help the Herenboeren community achieve the ecologically oriented, recycling-driven farming approach that its organizers strive for.
Community voice. The family owners of Herenboeren are polled at the end of each season about what they liked and what they want next year. But the farmer has the final say.
"There's a discussion between the community and the farmer. He tells us what is possible in the soil and what is reachable for us. The community tells us what they want, but when members are asking for mangoes, you can say, 'that's very nice,'" says Tooren with a wry, knowing smile.
On a summer Saturday last year, Herenboeren member Mattie du Vivier prepared a huge tote of peas and cases of lettuce and cabbage for the weekly pickup, when the farm gates open to members who load up their baskets with their shares of the harvest.
Du Vivier says he and his wife used to shop organic—he uses the European term "biological"—but they prefer the Herenboeren experience even though it is not certified organic by a third party.
The Boxtel Herenboeren cooperative is growing toward its capacity of 210 families, and building from its current 42 weeks of deliveries to a full 52 weeks of meat and vegetables per year. In all, the goal is to supply about 60 percent of a member family's food needs for the €10-per-mouth weekly fee. Korting says that is comparable to buying organic food in the grocery store.
Meanwhile, the movement—spurred by the Herenboeren Nederlands Foundation, a farmer training program, and a manifesto published last fall by the foundation—is catching on in other communities. Twelve other Herenboeren initiatives have been launched around the Netherlands, and the founders have dreams of 1.7 million acres of community-owned, diversified farms by the year 2060.
"I think it can be a game-change, putting the farmer closer to consumers," Korting points out.
