Cracking the Code of the Golden M
For fourteen years I had managed to stay relatively well and functioning quite adequately. I almost believed I was out of the woods. Like the ancient mariner, I was sailing on a calm sea with fair winds, the albatross flying high as a good omen. Then I changed my medication and the white bird fell from the sky. The weight of its carcass remains with me still.
In December 2004 I became concerned that the medication I had been taking for some years was making me gain too much weight. I didn't like my podgy body. I felt like an elephant lumbering around the hockey field and tennis court. I asked Dr Y about changing my medication and she agreed to try something different.
Soon after taking the new medication, and at the same time reducing the old one, I began to experience chronic insomnia. It was a side-effect of the new medication but I thought it would pass. It didn't. There were other problems - nausea and severe headaches, exacerbated by withdrawal symptoms from the previous medication. For six weeks I experienced a mania, it was like someone had turned on a light show in my brain and I couldn't turn it off. I was loud, racy and agitated when I was with people, talking non-stop. I was very irritable, erupting at one stage into uncharacteristic rage. I had cooked a quiche and taken it to Lynne and Felicity's to share. It was on the back seat of the car and, on arrival at their house Ruby, our dog who I had with me, saw their neighbour's dog in their drive, and leapt onto the back seat and into the middle of the quiche. I was enraged, got out of the car, ranted, raved and cursed the neighbour's dog and made a complete fool of myself. I had never raged like that before. The insomnia got worse and even sleeping tablets were unable to help me. I went for months on only a few hours sleep, when I had been used to a good ten hours every night. Lack of sleep and stress had always been a dangerous combination for me, and I should have been more alert to the signs.
Out of some corner of my mind voices began to whisper, and then to chatter interminably. The voices must have indicated their presence because my friend Lynne asked me if I was hearing them. But they were saying to me: Don't say, don't tell. Don't trust anyone. And I didn't. The louder and more insistent they became, the more secretive I became about them. In early May 2005, the simmering madness erupted into a billowing psychotic fantasia.
I am to do a poetry reading in Daylesford, a little township an hour's drive west of Melbourne. It is cold. The drive along the freeway is pregnant with the gathering forces. A voice says: "Keep driving, bitch." I arrive at Gillie's, a friend of ours, where I am staying the night. I see that Gillie's body is covered in words and letters. I'm trying to decipher their meaning. She mustn't know I can see them. Another voice says: "Hide your face, bitch."I go off to a pub to meet the organisers of the poetry reading and the other performers. We eat. I listen to the conversation. They speak like prophets, but I am the prophet - the prophet of doom...the doomed prophet! A voice whispers: "Just listen, just listen, count the words before they spill." It is unnerving me. I leave to make my way to the venue.
The performance venue feels too intimate, too close and claustrophobic for me. Too many people. I am uncomfortable. I listen to the other performers. A voice tells me, "They are laughing at you." The MC introduces me. I stand behind the microphone. I read my poems but they are alien to me. I have to get out of here. A voice tells me: "If you leave now you will never see the sun. I will crush you, and tell everyone to laugh at you. Leaving will only show them how evil you are." My poems are falling. I am falling. I shudder when the words, "The Madwoman in this poem is me" come from my mouth. The voices laugh. I tell the audience, "I feel so bad tonight." I press on. The voices won't let me leave. One of them says: "Don't leave, bitch, you have to struggle." I finish my reading with the lines, "Am I, Cassandra, the seer, mad again?" A voice demands, "Eat your words, slut." The forces have taken me. I go back to Gillie's, stalk her lounge room, go to bed, sleep fitfully.
It's morning. I get up, read the newspaper and see that Rene Rivkin, the business man who has bipolar mood disorder, has killed himself. His suicide rips me apart. I leave Gillie's to run a poetry workshop at the community centre.
I am running the workshop. A voice distracts me: "They don't know about the universe and scum like you." I am detached like a leaf fluttering in the wind. The workshop finally ends. Another voice says, "I watched while God raped you", and laughs. I escape back to Gillie's and ring Lynne. I tell her, "The volcano is erupting." She asks, "Where are you?" I answer, "At Gillie's." Lynne persists: "Where's Gillie, can I talk to her?" A voice warns me, "Beware of false friends." I lie: "She's working and can't come to the phone." Lynne says, "Ring me later, will you?" I lie again: "I can't talk, my phone is running out of battery." I turn off my phone. A voice praises me: "You did well." The clock says 2:30 p.m. I say goodbye to Gillie, get in the car and hit the road.
I am Thelma and Louise, just like in the film. Every car on the freeway is chasing me! Cars to the left of me, cars to the right of me, cars in front of me and behind me, cars everywhere. I can't escape them. There, in front of me, is a McDonalds restaurant. A voice barks at me: "Break the code of the golden M! It's the Virgin Mary, it's Mary Magdalene. It's the golden M." I pull into the restaurant. A voice commands me: "Eat a cheese burger, go to the toilet and meditate on the golden M." I Eat, piss and meditate, and take to the road. Up ahead is another McDonalds. A voice commands again: "Stop, be faithful to the golden M - the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene - eat a cheese burger and go to the toilet." The road is troubling me, it's too threatening, too many cars chasing me. A comforting voice offers a solution saying: "Drive into Caroline Springs; it's a safe place." The entrance to this satellite suburb is off the freeway to Melbourne. I drive around its neat streets thinking that perhaps God won't expect to find me here. Laughter. Who is laughing at me? At last I am in Melbourne. My car clock says it's 7 p.m. I don't know how many McDonalds there were on the way here, but I have stopped at every one I pass between Daylesford and Lonsdale Street in central Melbourne. I feel sick, full to the brim with cheese burgers. But I couldn't break the code of the golden M. A voice is chastising me: You failed, slut. I am to give a talk with Margie to the Lifeline telephone counsellors. Margie is my bipolar friend and we have given lots of talks together. Crazy women like us have to stick together. I can't let her down. The talk is at Lifeline's rooms at Wesley Church. The W is an inverted M, I think. Two voices are singing to me: "Mary, Mary, quite contrary." I climb the stairs and enter the building clutching a poem in one hand, my car keys in the other. Margie asks, "How are you, Sandy?"
Words are tumbling out of mouth: "I am possessed, the Antichrist is in me, I've got to go to the Bendigo show, have a spew in Kew and go to Footscray. Robbie and Dido are trying to kill me, they have the house booby-trapped, I'm going to the police station to report them. I've been raped by God." Margie looks concerned. She is calm and comforts me: "Who would you like me to ring, Sandy?" I can't answer her because of the noise in my head. Where is that laughter coming from? The voices and laughter pause. I am whispering: "I trust only Felicity." Then a voice commands: "Crawl under the table bitch, prepare to be reborn, bitch, prepare to be aborted, bitch. You are unsafe here. Sluts like you should have been drowned at birth." I am curled up in foetal position under a table with my eyes closed saying: "I need to be re-birthed, I have to be aborted."
I open my eyes and there's Felicity. And Robbie and Dido are behind her. Betrayed! I don't want to go with them but there's no option. We are walking through the hall and past the audience waiting for me; they are still patiently waiting. They watch me leave with suspicion. I am defiant: "I'm not going home, I know it's booby-trapped."
The car is gliding like a cushion. They are taking me to Lynne and Felicity's. The laughter is killing me. I am yelling: "Fuck off!" How can I stop the laughter? Time is in a warp; we are at Lynne and Felicity's already. The house is a cage. I can't sit down. I'm so scared. My sadness is overwhelming me and I am telling them: "When God raped me, it was slow and methodical, slow and methodical. I am being raped over and over and over. I have to go to the toilet and abort the foetus because it's the Antichrist." I warn them: "My vagina reeks of a foul odour, I can smell it!" They are trying to get me to take some tablets. They are stern and insistent. I know they are in league with God. I relent, swallow the pills, go to bed, sleep a short time, get up, go to the lounge room, sit on the couch, pull a blanket over my shoulders and look into the dark. I feel lonely. A voice chimes a mantra for me: "The mind is a clock, tick tock, the mind is a clock, tick-tock", and tells me it's a gift. I am whispering it to myself while in the background the rhythmic tick-tock pulses from the kitchen clock.
It's morning. Everyone gets up. I'm still on the couch whispering the mantra. Robbie is ringing Dr Y. It's a short phone call. Dr Y says to go back onto the old medication and triple the dosage. She doesn't need to see me. Robbie and Dido are taking me home. Home is not peaceful. I'm ringing the Royal Women's Hospital to get them to send out a midwife to rebirth me and abort me. The answering service is saying: "Press one for this and press two for that." I can't follow it. I hang up. The phone rings. It's my hockey team-mate Kay, she is asking: How are you, Sandy? Maybe she can help me: I plead: "Kay, Kay, call the police, I'm being held hostage by Robbie and Dido! I'm in a prison. Ring the Women's Hospital, find me a midwife, God raped me, I'm desperate!" Kay says, "Hang in there Sandy, take care." The phone is my only way to get the message out. I'll ask whoever rings me for help. You never know, someone might be able to find me a midwife and call the police. A voice murmurs my name then says: "I saw God rape you, slut."
Once the fantasia took hold, it billowed like a wildfire. I was floridly psychotic for the next few weeks. The only reason I didn't go to hospital was because Robbie and Dido and Lynne and Felicity rearranged their work schedules so that someone could stay at home with me. Other friends rang to see how I was and offer support. I was reeling with the effects of the increased medication. My mind was blancmange and my body was torpid. I felt I was writhing in a bowl of spaghetti, trapped and tangled in its messy strands. I had gone from relative stability to the shambles of uncontrolled madness, unloading my delusional thoughts on all my friends. My inner world had tumbled out unfiltered and uncensored, leaving nowhere to hide. My psychotic world was like a horror movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock. How does one evoke something so wild and unimaginable? It is incomprehensible to anyone not in it. Perhaps the only comparison is a nightmare from which you cannot wake, with all its odd and surreal characters and out-of-kilter settings and distortions of the real world. It is not possible to make sense of it, or capture the terror and desperation it induces.
The monster of psychosis had crept from its cage. Getting it back in is one thing, but securing the lock is another. I recovered from this episode only to fall back into a psychotic state a month later. By mid-August I thought I had regained control of my mind, but the monster was only resting. It slipped from its cage at its whim. I wrestled with it, but it clamped onto my mind, twisting and knotting the strands of thought into mind-forg'd manacles of paranoia and fear. The monster stirred Melancholia too, and she trailed behind me in a dowdy gown. Her gloom encircled me, leaving me despairing. Seven months after the breakdown, I was lucid one week and in a fog of psychosis or depression the next. Suicide entered my thoughts on too many occasions. I never knew what mood lay around the corner.
My therapeutic relationship with Dr Y had stalled. After she had shown little concern for what had happened to me in the preceding months, I decided I needed to find another psychiatrist; someone I could talk to. I was scared of making such a big change in my life but it had to be done. I had become disenchanted with Dr Y over the last ten years and this last relapse reinforced in me my need to find someone else. I had drifted through the latter part of 2005, still struggling with my voices and delusions, adrift from everyone around me and myself. I couldn't make the final decision to change psychiatrists because of my fears and emotional paralysis. After procrastinating for some months, I finally plucked up the courage to find someone else. With the help of a friend who asked her therapist if she could recommend someone, I found Dr K. I began therapy with her in February 2006. She is someone to whom I could talk about my voices, delusions and spiritual bereft-ness. I have slowly regained trust in the therapeutic relationship which I felt I had lost with Dr Y. What I like most about Dr K is that she is able to say: I don't know. She doesn't feel the need to have answers for everything. This is refreshing.
Finding someone during this tumultuous year was crucial as I continued to experience psychotic symptoms. In August 2006 I succumbed again to the simmering madness. Nothing was going to stop its onslaught. The psychosis, which had never really left me, erupted again. My voices were overpowering me: you bitch, you witch, you sluttish moll, cankerous leper. In the mirror was the witch. She looked haggard and unkempt. Her hair was a tangle of electrified wire. Her wrinkled face was angular and pock-marked with an odd-shaped bony chin. Her large botoxed lips were painted bright red, while her teeth were black with decay. Her nose was long and sharp. Her blood-red eyes pierced me like flaming arrows. From the mirror she screamed back at me; sometimes she laughed as though to mock me. Her disquieting presence caused me to develop a morbid fascination with mirrors and I found myself constantly peering into them with a worrying, awful anticipation that she might appear again. And she did, over and over. But who was this witch? Where did she come from? Is she the personification of the evil woman my voices talk about? Whoever she is, she makes my skin crawl and I cringe with self-loathing. Around about this time I read Oscar Wilde's book The Picture of Dorian Gray, and in my madness, I assumed the persona of Dorian Gray looking at his hideous, loathsome portrait which had taken on the evil of his soul. I was the root of all the evil in the world.
Dr K thought I needed to spend some time in hospital. Luckily I had private health insurance which meant I could be admitted to a private clinic. She suggested I go to the Albert Road Clinic where she sent her private patients. She said Albert Road was not at all like Larundel. And it wasn't. I had a private room with a million dollar view of Melbourne. There was no garden to walk in, however, but the comfort of the clinic was asylum enough to let me feel safe and cared for. On arrival at the clinic I asked for the mirrors in my room to be covered to keep the witch at bay. As for the voices, they were mischievous and crass, and at the height of their powers; they totally consumed me. The monster madness was again in full control.
I was four weeks at the clinic. My room was my haven and I spent most of my time in it listening to my MP3 player. As ever, music was my lifeline. Time drifted while I wafted from day to day, unaware of the outside world. My mind was swamped by paranoid delusions and voice-riddled mumbo-jumbo; Melancholia held me tightly in her grasp. The Olanzapine I had been taking no longer held my psychosis. Something had been unleashed in my mind that had a vibrant life of its own and taming it was not going to be easy. Dr K suggested I try Clozapine, a medication used when everything else has failed. It required assiduous monitoring and regular blood testes because of potential fatal side-effects. I agreed, and started the Clozapine with some reservation, not quite knowing what to expect. Almost immediately after starting the medication I became heavily sedated and lethargic. My speech left me and my stammer reappeared. I was physically burdened by a constant feeling of low level nausea. For the last eight months I have battled with this medication which has had a mixed effect. I feel a physical debilitation that drains me of energy.
Two and a half years have passed since my descent into madness and I am still harried by my voices, and unnerved by my mind's deceit to create delusional fantasies. The struggle to retain my sanity is a day by day proposition. It doesn't come easily, nor can I take it for granted. My confidence is shattered. As for my self-esteem, when I wake up in the morning I see a little shredded piece of it lying forlornly on the floor. While it is taking a long, long time for the medication to quell the monster, there is a little ray of hope shining through the gloom. There has been a slight change in my mood and my spirit has lifted. I feel as though I might be navigating my way out of the dark wood. If only I could turn a key that locks the monster away securely.

Animals are used as symbols throughout poetry, and are also used to give the reader something to which they can relate. What was his vocation then? The imminent departure of the Wordsworths, whose one-year lease at Alfoxden was not renewed in June due to local doubts about their character, precipitated a personal crisis of sorts. Although it was often turgid, rambling, and inaccessible to most readers, it ran for 25 issues and was republished in book form a number of times. He also alliterates vowels, not only consonants, to produce a rhythmic singsong effect A delight Comes sudden on my heart, and I am glad As I myself were there! Put money enough in your purse", and then delivers the soliloquy beginning "Thus do I ever make my fool my purse". He was found unharmed the next morning. Wordsworth made the conversation poem the vehicle of his celebration of enlightenment values: of nature as spiritual home, of man as the measure of things. So my friend Struck with deep joy may stand, as I have stood, Silent with swimming sense; yea, gazing round On the wide landscape, gaze till all doth seem Less gross than bodily; and of such hues As veil the Almighty Spirit, when yet he makes Spirits perceive his presence. In all of those ideas about literature were challenged by the publication of Lyrical Ballads, which featured the poetry of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge This was the source of Coleridge's literary genius. Fragment poems were an increasingly popular genre in the early nineteenth century, and attempts to mimic the structure were often poorly done: the construction of the 'fragment ' was heavily relied upon to create meaning in otherwise lacklustre poetry He often connected the daily aspects of life within his poems to spirituality and God. The aristocracies that had been controlling Europe were beginning to fall, the middle class began to grow and power was increasingly falling into the hands of the common people.
Poetry was his means, not his vocation. Despite the difficulties, this was a time of rare promise for the young writer.
He gave this up and returned to England in But this also led to many of his downfalls The Last Romantics 1. He was originally buried at Old Highgate Chapel but was re-interred in St.
Samuel taylor coleridge short biography
This became the germ of a momentous project in which Wordsworth acted as collaborator. Coleridge's patterns of alliteration are also involved: He will sometimes use the sound at the beginning of one syllable as the sound at the beginning of the next syllable, as in "Xanadu did" in line one, "miles meandering" in line 25, and "deep delight" in line Coleridge was provided, quite unexpectedly, a life annuity of pounds sterling by Josiah and Thomas Wedgwood, heirs to the pottery and friends of reliable standing. Mysticism is the belief that nature is directly linked to the spiritual world, and thus spiritual revelations can be born out of reflecting on nature. Currently, the Crewe Manuscript is the earliest know version of Kubla Khan and is believed to have been written around Gilman's house at Highgate whispering strange things, uncertain whether oracles or jargon. Michael's Parish Church in Highgate, London. There is a rhythm throughout the poem with strong rhyme, this pattern is like heavy breathing you have when you try to go to sleep it could also represent the rhythmical counting of sheep
He describes the Life-and-Death accomplice as having yellow locks, red lips, and looks that were free He was the youngest of ten children and was often teased and bullied by the others.
It underlines the collective enterprise involved in the inauguration of the new poetic idiom which would eventually be called Romantic.
Animals are used as symbols throughout poetry, and are also used to give the reader something to which they can relate. Coleridge also played an instrumental part in the conversational poetry of his friend William Wordsworth and was known as a great philosopher and literary critic Hence its tangled condition.
Later in his life he made some breakthroughs that caused a revolution in poetic style and thoughts. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one with a brilliant mind whose talent for poetry went beyond the ordinary. He retired to an old stone farmhouse some distance from Porlock, where he fell asleep while reading an old travel book, Purchase His Pilgrimage , by Samuel Purchase. Coleridge - Hazlitt wryly observed in that "the fault of Mr. O shield her! This was more than a volume of poems from various hands. His poems directly and deeply influenced all the major poets of the age. Its influence rings clear in Shelley and Keats in the next generation, and in Tennyson , Browning , Rossetti , and Swinburne among their Victorian inheritors. Creation of this kind is more than a matter of oracular power. He did much to encourage it, certainly, but he lived to regret what his friends made of him and to defend himself against charges of idleness and premature decay.
But green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather, And singing, and loving—all come back together. Creation of this kind is more than a matter of oracular power.
Coleridge was raised in a post revolutionary time period in England, after the American and French Revolutions, known as the Romantic Age of Poetry.

Book Review: Dungeons & Dragons: Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus
By Waerloga69 | @ | Tuesday, September 17th, 2019 at 12:00 pm
Dungeons & Dragons: Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus
D&D Accessory
Well, what in the Nine Hells has Wizards Of The Coast released now, you might ask. Okay, so if you literally phrased it like that, then you pretty much answered your own question. Because the newest Dungeons & Dragons release is called Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus and it is all about making your way from one of the most notable cities on the prime Material plane to the first layer of the Nine Hells. This journey is obviously dangerous, but few understand exactly how perilous it can be!
This hardcover is not just a wondrous module, but also an amazing reference book with tons of source material for the current adventure and for use later on as you expand your adventures into new realms. The adventure is broken into several parts to facilitate any decisions your players might make. A large portion is dedicated to the initial start up in Baldur's gate and a separate section that deals with its history and locale. There is a fairly short segue chapter dealing with Elturel to allow characters to access the first layer of hell. A much larger part is dedicated to the evil wasteland plane of Avernus, as much can go wrong here, even more so than almost anywhere else. The final chapters all revolve around the choices the characters must make and where their decisions will lead them, for good or for ill.
Additionally, there are several appendices that give some splendid details about things, such as diabolical contracts and the repercussions thereof, the terrifying infernal war machines found throughout the adventure, and even a menu from the restaurant/lounge Infernal Rapture. But be careful: Everyone is subject to severe penalties if they fail to pay their way at any point. Other appendices include a Creatures section, some unique and amazing magical weapons, and even some concept art.
And I would be remiss if I did not speak to some of the trials that a party will face in these less than optimal areas. The goal is, as you might guess, to win against Zariel as she tries to conquer, well, everything. But beware! Spells will warp, for mortal magic has little place in the land of devilkin. We are talking about a place that traps unicorns for a light source and seems to have mutated everything we might recognize. Hells, even the Abyssal chicken seems normal by comparison to many of the sights seen here.
As adventurers make their way throughout the obviously unsettling and ever-changing terrain, they will be exposed to side quests and it is through many of those that the story can alter, progress, or stall. More than their weapons will be needed; their cunning and wits will serve them better than anything else. For while Zariel is the objective, Tiamat and many others might be a factor if the party does not keep its collective head down, so to speak. The best advice here is listen to your guide and find the Sword of Zariel before it is too late!
Made for first-level characters with the intent of taking them up to around the thirteenth level, this foray into another realm is a fun, albeit delicate, adventure. I'm reminded of the old first edition AD&D Manual of the Planes, but this is so much more detailed than those long ago broad overviews. There are two different covers to this release and I was lucky enough to receive them both. So much is packed in here that you could easily get sidetracked for days just exploring and engaging the demonic population. But for Pete's sake, tell them to be careful. This quest is a living hell! Have fun!
Diabolical dangers await in this adventure for the world's greatest roleplaying game.
Welcome to Baldur's Gate, a city of ambition and corruption. You've just started your adventuring career, but already find yourself embroiled in a plot that sprawls from the shadows of Baldur's Gate to the front lines of the planes-spanning Blood War! Do you have what it takes to turn infernal war machines and nefarious contracts against the archdevil Zariel and her diabolical hordes? And can you ever hope to find your way home safely when pitted against the infinite evils of the Nine Hells?
• This heroic Dungeons & Dragons adventure book takes players from levels 1 to 13 as they journey through Baldur's Gate and into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells.
• Baldur's Gate is among the most iconic locations in fantasy culture. A mist-cloaked metropolis on the Sword Coast, it's a place of history and a home to heroes.
• The book introduces the infernal war machines to fifth edition D&D—battle-ready vehicles, which you can customize as you blast off into the Blood War.
• Dungeon Masters will entice their heroes with devils' deals, designed to lure adventurers with the ultimate temptations of power and treasure.
• Created in 1974, D&D transformed gaming culture by blending traditional fantasy with miniatures and wargaming. Fifth edition D&D draws from every prior edition to create a universally compelling play experience

Dunleavy responds to Alaska legislators' push for protection from British Columbia mines
By June Leffler, KSTK - Wrangell May 13, 2019 Energy & Mining, State Government

Gov. Mike Dunleavy has pledged to engage with British Columbia to protect Alaska's natural resources and environment. That's in response to lawmakers' concern over potential threats from transboundary mining.
Lawmakers across party lines penned a letter last month urging the Dunleavy administration to keep a close eye on Canadian mines in shared watersheds.
Twenty-two legislators signed the letter urging the governor and lieutenant governor to pick up where the Walker administration left off.
This month they got an answer. A two-page letter signed by the governor catalogued high-level contacts between state and provincial officials. He called it "important work" to remain engaged over transboundary rivers.
"They said in the letter that they were going to continue with the process, so I was heartened by that," said Ketchikan independent Rep. Dan Ortiz. "But it was not quite as energetic as I would have liked to seen."
There was no specific mention of mining in the governor's letter. Lawmakers had raised concerns over the roughly dozen B.C. mines that are permitted, operating or lie abandoned in shared watersheds with Southeast Alaska.
Last year Gov. Walker had urged B.C. to require mine operators post reclamation bonds before work starts. That's in line with Alaska regulations designed to ensure mining companies can afford to pay for clean up later. It's also insurance toward catastrophes.
Environmental and fishing groups on both sides of the border have been pushing B.C. reform its mining regulations for years.

"There's a need for financial assurances, essentially liability and accountability, to be placed on the B.C. mining industry for impacts to our shared water," said Jill Weitz with Salmon Beyond Borders in Juneau. "As opposed to the communities of Southeast Alaska having to pay the burden of those impacts from their mining practices."
Gov. Dunleavy's letter didn't get into specifics. But it said a teleconference between his cabinet and B.C. ministers is planned for June 18.
Galvin tries again to unseat Young
Anchorage education advocate Alyse Galvin has filed to take another run at Alaska Congressman Don Young in 2020.
Containment efforts keep Swan Lake Fire away from communities
Suppression efforts are focused on the southern section of the fire to protect nearby communities. Fire crews have 50% of that portion of the fire contained.
Juneau's Glory Hall will cut breakfast, lunch service in response to budget vetoes
The most recent state budget cuts mean the shelter will have to reduce its hours. The building will close from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., likely starting next month. That means no breakfast and no lunch.
Young votes against condemning Trump for racist tweets
Rep. Don Young voted no on the House resolution, as did all but four Republicans. In a press statement afterward, Young said the non-binding measure only contributes to partisan rancor.

Q: JavaScript: setAttribute function is failing I have slightly modified the code here
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_doc_getelementsbyname_loop
From:
<!DOCTYPE html>

Cats:  <input name="animal" type="checkbox" value="Cats">
Dogs:  <input name="animal" type="checkbox" value="Dogs">

Click the button to check all checkboxes that have a name attribute with the value "animal".

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

To:
i.e. I want to change the value of value's attribute.
  for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    if (x[i].type == "checkbox") {
        x[i].setAttribute("value", "camels");
    }
}

It didn't change nothing, but What wrong am I doing?
Edit: Requirement is to change the property in DOM not HTML.

A: Looks to be doing what is expected. The value attribute changes to camels for every single checkbox.
If what you're trying to do is change the TEXT beside the checkbox, you'll need to wrap it in its own element (likely a p) and change the text to be camel. Changing the value will only change the actual data value which that checkbox corresponds to.

A: I think it is doing what you want, you just can't see it.  You are changing the value of the input, not the actual text "Dogs:", so what you end up with is:
Cats:  <input name="animal" type="checkbox" value="camels">
Dogs:  <input name="animal" type="checkbox" value="camels">

Maybe you're ready for more in your life at work.
That might mean more opportunity, money, meaning, or growth.
Feels like a million paths to get there, right?
But how do you START finding what's next at work?
Where should you look? What's the first step?
Honestly, there's an awful lot of craptastic advice out there. And yet, it keeps getting repeated, over and over again.
It's so confusing that too many people give up. It feels a lot easier to stay stuck.
It'll show you how to start finding what's next at work, in a way that works for today's talented professionals just like you.
Update your resume or hire someone to do it.
Just be grateful you have a job.
Do not be suckered into wasting time and energy on ANY of these traps right now.
The truth is that each of these traps are things that help us hide.
They lie to us and make us feel like we're making progress.
But they don't. Each one just helps us stay stuck.
You're too awesome to let that happen to you. Avoid the traps.
Read more here specifically about why updating your resume is the wrong place to start.
Okay, you've heard the warnings. Now let's dive into what's working right now for smart professionals like you.
These are the same three steps I recommend to any of my coaching clients who are asking "what's next for me?" They're the actions that I promise will get you moving forward, fast.
Step 1: Schedule alone time in the next few days to ask yourself three big questions.
What am I doing when I'm in my superpower space?
What are the environments where I thrive?
What will happen if I don't make a change?
Your answers to these questions help you begin to get clear on who you are and what you want now.
I don't mean what you want in terms of a specific role.
I mean what you want from your life at work.
You just need to let yourself listen to them, and not talk yourself out of wanting what you want.
The truth only comes out when you're on your own and getting honest about your thoughts.
It's not always fun, but it works.
Step 2: Make individual dates to meet with 3-5 people you already know.
I'll make you a promise: your next opportunity will not fall magically from the living room ceiling while you're watching Game of Thrones.
It will come from people.
Start the process of reaching out to people who you already know, but who you haven't talked to in a while. Follow your curiosity–who intrigues you? Who's doing work that looks interesting, at least from where you sit?
Pick people who are in professions, companies or industries you're curious about, and invite them to a meal, cup of coffee, or even just a phone call.
WARNING! YOU ARE NOT ASKING ANYONE FOR A JOB, A JOB REFERRAL, OR AN INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEW.
You're simply inviting another human being to a chat with you, another human being.
Your conversation is focused on them, not you. It gives you a chance to gather new data and ideas as you get clearer on what you want to pursue next.
And it makes someone else feel good to have an opportunity to share their experiences without any pressure to do anything for someone else.
Most people are happy to share their experiences and perspectives as long as they feel you're geniuinely interested in them–not in what you think they can do for you.
But you've got to be the one to ask.
You're building (or rebuilding) relationships here–relationships that will lead you to new insights, ideas, and ultimately, opportunties.
Read more on how to cultivate relationships here.
It's easy to assume there are no opportunities to get what you want right where you are.
We think that if what we wanted was here, we'd have it, right?
It's a dangerous–and wasteful–mindset to have.
Organizations are messy. No matter what straight lines appear to exist, work happens in squiggly lines.
For you, that means you don't have to wait until the perfect, fully baked job pops up on the "open opportunities" database.
You don't have to wait for the promotion fairy to come down and sprinkle bonus dust on your head, either.
If you want new opportunities, you need to tell your boss and other leaders that you want new opportunities.
More importantly, you need to paint a picture for them of what it looks like, and how it'll help the company overall.
Truth is, you've grown since you arrived where you are. But it didn't happen overnight–it happened inch by inch.
So it's common that those who've known us for a while won't always see our growth–or our dissatisfaction. Even the best, most insightful and empathetic managers can't read your mind to know that you're ready for a new challenge, or that you're feeling restless, bored, or undervalued.
You've got to get honest with them. Start talking.
Steal these scripts to start having tough conversations when it's time for change.
Once You've Started, What Do You Do Next?
Getting started is the hardest part. Congratulations!
Don't discount your actions –many never get this far. You're now making forward progress.
This is where an experienced coach can accelerate your progress, hold you accountable and give you a safe, confidential sounding board. It's not easy to do this alone. Learn more about what a coaching partnership is like by scheduling your consultation here (free).
As you keep moving forward, there'll be the right time and place to dive into leveraging tools like a resume, job postings, LinkedIn, and relationships with recruiters.
But for now, set those aside, focus on these three actions, and start finding what's next for you right now.

Doc's Top-5 Best Bets – The AT&T Pro-am
Donal 'Doc' Hughes
Jason Day (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
2020 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Preview and Tips
Pebble Beach Golf Links, Monterey Peninsula, Spyglass Hill, California
Pebble Par: 72 / Yardage: 6,816
Purse: $7.8 million with $1,404,000 to the winner
Defending Champion: Phil Mickelson
Favourite Watch
Dustin Johnson starts 6/1 favourite this week after a solo second in Saudi on Sunday and has an incredible record on the peninsula. The question is, can these guys who are travelling through six time zones to get to California to tee it up really perform? Phil Mickelson is also sitting on the runway at 25/1, he defends and he's hitting even bigger bombs with his new Mavrik driver.
Doc's Top 5 Best Each Way Bets
Brandt Snedeker 25/1
Missed the cut in Phoenix last week and subsequently slipped out a few points to 25/1 in the betting. But showed in a T3 at The Farmers the week before that his putting is still up there with the best on Tour and on three short tracks with good weather promised, everything is in place for Sneds to contend again this year. Twice a winner in 2013 and 2015 and I'll eat my woolly hat if he doesn't place!
Jason Day 20/1
Made his 2020 debut at The Farmers where he finished a respectable T16 and showed some good form on the greens. But you feel Jason Day does seem to have lost his star power somewhat with a raft of emerging talent taking the limelight. With poa annua greens all the way, this is the perfect week to remind everyone how good he actually is. The Aussie is an incredible 65 under through 20 rounds in the last five years of this event and has five top-6 finishes in the last seven years.
Branden Grace 28/1
Tipped him last week to a T9 in Phoenix at 55/1 but it may well be worth sticking with Branden Grace at 28/1 for one more week. The recent winner in South Africa carried his form to Abu Dhabi (T17) and onto Phoenix last week. Back beside the sea, with some wind and opportunities on the greens, it should be right up his alley.
Daniel Berger 33/1
Daniel Berger keeps popping up on my radar and try as I might, I just cant ignore him. From top 20 in the world three years ago to his current 144th shows the struggle but after an encouraging start to the year, a T9 in Phoenix last week will have boosted his confidence. T1 in the field in putting there, he travels the 700 miles West to Monterey for the first time since 2015 when he finished T10.
Scott Piercy 80/1
Another of the fortysomething brigade for who this week is less of a "bomb and gouge" affair and more of a short and sometimes tricky test if the wind blows, where good ball strikers and putters prevail. Piercy will be delighted after a T6 last week in Phoenix where he performed well across all three major stats (driving, irons, putting) and with a T10 at Pebble last year, he has to be eyeing this week for a serious payday.
Scott Stallings 100/1
Horse for the "courses" around Pebble Beach having improved his finish across his last three starts here from T17 to 7th to 3rd last year. A journeyman pro by all accounts with the last of three wins coming six years ago at Torrey Pines but anywhere in the top 5-8 depending on the bookies is a win from 100/1 for us.
Long Odds Glory Shot
Kevin Streelman 100/1 almost relies on weeks like this to keep his card on the PGA Tour. Top-20 in his last four visits to Pebble and T7 in 2019.


A new Manga cartoon has just been launched by Toyota! This Japanese inspired adventure sees the heroine and her Aygo save the city from a monster. The cartoon is based on the Aygo's new design which sees an ordinary office worker wearing an X-graphic suit defending the city with a pair of blades.
Toyota commissioned UK-based Manga artist Sonia Leong to create the animated piece which was launched at MCM Comic Con in London. Sonia said: "It was an exciting challenge to use Aygo in this way, not only to represent a car through Manga illustration but also to use its styling to help shape a whole new hero character. As an example of contemporary Japanese-led design, Aygo is an ideal subject and I hope fans will respond to it and the story I've created."

Briefingcall centers
Citigroup CEO Predicts A.I. Will Replace Tens of Thousands of U.S. Call Center Jobs
Grace Dobush
Citigroup CEO Michael Corbat said tens of thousands of the bank's U.S. call center workers could be replaced by cost-cutting A.I.
With 209,000 workers worldwide, Citi (C) is under pressure to rein in its costs. The fourth-largest U.S. bank, it spends $8 billion a year on technology, the Financial Times reports, but this is the most explicit the CEO has been about how that investment might affect jobs.
"When you think of data, A.I., raw digitization of changing processes, we still have tens of thousands of people in call centers, and we know when we can digitize those processes we not only radically change or improve the customer experience, it costs less to provide," Corbat told the FT.
While the most common customer questions are easy for A.I. to handle, Citi has no plans to get rid of humans in its call centers altogether. "There'll always be the kind of thing where you've actually got to have someone to help solve," Corbat said. "We don't want people frustrated in that."
Two years ago, former Citi CEO Vikram Pandit said as many as one-third of the bank's jobs could be replaced by A.I. within five years. Bloomberg reported that Pandit's forecast was in line with what Citigroup itself predicted over the next 10 years.
Call center jobs seem to be increasingly at risk as voice recognition technology improves. A startup called Pindrop has helped call centers detect fraud and is now helping to protect voice-activated devices. Democratic lawmakers last year introduced a bill to discourage U.S. companies from offshoring call center jobs, saying that domestic service jobs deserve as much protection as manufacturing jobs.
As T-Mobile and Sprint make the case for their merger in Washington, part of their pitch includes opening new U.S. call centers that would create 5,000 jobs.

Home Projects Mathematics Modelling and Simulation of the Spread of HBV Disease with Infectious Latent
Modelling and Simulation of the Spread of HBV Disease with Infectious Latent
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The spread of the HBV in Nigeria has posed a lot of threat to health and well being citizens in Nigeria. It is evident that about a third of the world's population, approximately 2 billion people gets infected with hepatitis B virus in their life time. About 360 million people remain chronically infected carriers of the disease, most of whom are unaware of their HBV status and about 20% – 30% of whom will eventually die from chronic sequel. The prevalence of HBV infection varies from country to country, depending upon a complex behavioral, environmental and host factors. Chronic HBV can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma after 20 years among persons with chronic HBV infection; the risk for premature death from cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma is 15% – 25%.
Hepatitis B is a disease that is characterized by inflammation of the liver and is caused by infection by the hepatitis B virus. According to (WHO, 2002) stated that hepatitis may be caused by drugs or viral agents; these viral agents include the hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H viruses. Hepatitis B is one of the world's most serious health problems. More than a billion people around the world have serological indicators of past or present infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV).
According to (White and Fenner (1994), Platkov et al (2001), Carriapa et al (2004), Fernandez et al (2006), Onuzulike and Ogueri (2007)) in their research stated that Over 300 million people are chronic carriers of the virus. The fast spread of HBV shows that is very communicable.
It is evident according to (WHO, 2002) that HBV infection can be transmitted from mother to child (vertical), contact with an infected person (horizontal transmission), sexual contact (homosexual and heterosexual transmission) with infected partners, exposure to blood or other infected fluids and contact with HBV contaminated instruments.
HBV control measures include vaccination, education, screening of blood and blood products; and treatment (CDC, 2005).
According to (Anderson and May, 1991) stated that epidemiological models help to capture infection or disease transmission mechanisms in a population in a mathematical frame-work in order to predict the behavior of the disease spread through the population.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
What really instigated the study was the massive spread of HBV in Nigeria and most of the African countries. Several efforts has been put in place by the federal government of Nigeria and world health organization (WHO) through the ministry of health in Nigeria to combat HBV.
Secondly mathematicians all over the world have come with up with several model to help solve the model and simulate the spread of HBV; there have been a lot of failed model.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
The main aim of the research work is evaluate the modelling and simulation of the spread of HBV with infectious latent. Other specific objectives of the study include:
To find the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the model.
To carry out sensitivity analysis on Ro to ascertain which parameter that is most sensitive and that should be targeted by way of intervention.
To examine the local stability of the model equation using the modified implicit function theorem.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
The study came up with research questions so as to ascertain the above stated objectives. The research questions are stated below as follows:
How to find the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the model?
How to carry out sensitivity analysis on Ro to ascertain which parameter that is most sensitive and that should be targeted by way of intervention?
How to perform the local stability of the model equation using the modified implicit function theorem?
1.5 SIGNIFICANT OF STUDY
The study on modelling and simulating of the spread of HBV disease with infectious latent will be of immense benefit to the ministry of health of Nigeria, the World health organization (WHO) and other researchers that wishes to carryout similar research on the above topic as it will discuss the local stability of the model equation using the modified implicit function theorem and also sensitivity analysis on Ro to ascertain which parameter that is most sensitive and that should be targeted by way of intervention.
1.6 SCOPE OF STUDY
The study on modelling and simulation of the spread of HBV disease with infectious latent will cover the areas of local stability of the model equation and implicit function theorem

Q: return each string representation in a list of user-defined objects in a new line I have a list where each element is a user-defined class, class_object_list. I wish to return each string representation of that list in a new line and the code needs to be wrapped inside an f-string (or would work inside a return statement).
Or basically, put the equivalent of the following code inside a return statment
for i in class_object_list:
    print(i)

i've tried ''.join([str(i) for i in class_object_list]) but it doesnt print each string representation in a new line.
Also tried nl = '\n', f"{nl.join([*class_object_list])}" but it gave a TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance error.
And tried print(*class_object_list, sep='\n') but it only works with a print statement

A: Use:
'\n'.join([str(i) for i in class_object_list])

Or:
'\n'.join(map(str, class_object_list))
