Questioners on AskUbuntu have a vast range of skill levels, ranging from barely being able to point-and-click to walk-on-water (thinks in programming languages, knows how most of Ubuntu/Linux works).
It would help me (and other Answerers) if a Questioners skill level were visible, so I (we) can adjust our answers (or our choice to answer or not) based on it.
I've spent time crafting an answer involving command line magic, only to have the Questioner respond with something like "What is that | symbol of which you speak?"
I believe that AskUbuntu should offer assistance to people of all skill levels, but it would be easier to answer helpfully if we knew where on the Novice to Shark spectrum the Questioner fell.
Maybe a slider in the Questioners' profiles, or a per-question checkbox, or something else, would do the trick.
When I answer a question, most of the time I try to answer it in a way that is understandable by anyone.
I don't think the questioner's skill level is important, as answers are not only for the person who asked a question, but instead, they should be helpful for any other person who would be having that same issue.
Besides, most of the times, you can figure out someone's skill level from the way their question is asked.
I don't think this will work, you can't judge someones skill level like this, skill is very subjective based on what people do with there computers.
We are not here to teach the basics of Ubuntu, we are here to answer direct questions in a complete and precise manner, creating a data base of answers.
If you think a user will not understand what you give them, also link a manual or the Ubuntu man pages so they can learn for there self.
I also think (in my experience) that 90% of users don't care about the content of the answer or even if they understand it, they just want it to work.
We can't give answers based on each individual askers whim, you could go on for ages to explain every detail, they are supposed to help anyone who reads it in a clear manner, paragraphs of explanation for simple commands should not be required. Instead encourage them to learn or add command explanations to your answer, if you wish.
Ubuntu and its packages are extremely well documented, if a user wants to understand a command, then it is really up to them to do the work and learn, not up to us to hold there hand.

The FIDE world championship match is headed into overtime as Indian champ Viswanathan Anand and Israeli challenger Boris Gelfand drew their final game Monday to finish knotted at 6-6. Aside from a brief dust-up that produced victories for each player in Games 7 and 8, the two players resembled a pair of soccer teams content to settle things with penalty kicks, unwilling to take any risks to try to score a goal.
Wednesday's playoff begins with four Game/25 rapid games, up to 10 Game/5 blitz matches and, if needed, a final "armageddon" blitz game in which the player with Black gets one minute less but enjoys draw odds. We'll have a full report next week.
Monday's Game 12 was typical of much of the play in this often frustrating match, ending in a draw just when things might have gotten interesting. Many thought Anand as White would go for the kill, but he repeats the Sicilian Rossolimo line that produced a dreary 25-move draw in Game 10.
Gelfand varies with 6…d6, and White responds with a pawn sacrifice that leaves Black with a pair of doubled pawns. Gelfand in turn returns the sacrificed material with interest: 10…c4!? (a move praised by kibitzing former world champion Vladimir Kramnik, giving up a bad pawn to free Black's bishops) 11. Nxc4 Bd6 12. Qf3 Qd5!? 13. Qxd5 cxd5 14. Nxe5, and Black's two bishops and better center give him good compensation.
But Anand was still a pawn to the good (and way ahead on the clock) when he unexpectedly offered a draw after 21. Bc5 Rhd8 22. Bxe7, even though White can hardly lose and has some hopes of prospering after 22…Kxe7 23. Nd2 or 22…Kxe7 23. Rc7+ Rd7 24. Rac1; Gelfand accepted the offer immediately.
As we mentioned here last week, the best rivalry in American chess right now is the one between the country's two best female players, New York IMs Irina Krush and Anna Zatonskih, who have traded the women's national crown back and forth for the past four years.
At this month's women's title tournament in St. Louis, it was Krush who reclaimed bragging rights, winning a two-game rapid playoff after the pair finished in a tie for first at 7-3 in the round-robin championship event. That the two are in a class by themselves in the women's game can be seen in Krush's impressive win over WIM Viktorija Ni in Round 3 in St. Louis.
The Symmetrical English almost always portends a close maneuvering game, requiring sound positional judgment. After surrendering bishop for knight on Move 10 to increase her hold on the key d5-square, Krush unexpectedly plugs the hole herself with 18. h4 Bxd5 19. cxd5!. Black gets a queen-side pawn majority, but the White pawn will play a key role in Krush's subsequent attack.
Ni never gets her queen-side activated, unwisely trying to mix it up on the king-side. But Black gets overextended, leaving herself open to a nasty counterpunch after 25. Be4 (Qxh5?? Rh8, of course) g4? (better was battening down with 25…Rh8 26. Rh1 Nc8 27. Kg2 g4 28. Rh2 Nd6) 26. Kg2 h4 27. f3 Rh8 28. fxg4 hxg3 29. Kxg3 Bg5 30. Qe2 Rh4 31. Qf3!, threatening a decisive invasion along the f-file.
Even with the queens off the board, Black has too many exposed squares around her king: 32. Qf5 Qxf5 (Qe7 33. Qg6+ Kh8 34. Rf7 wins) 33. Rxf5 Be7 34. d6! (the pawn makes its presence felt, as 34…Bxd6?? hangs the rook on h4) Bd8 35. g5!, when retreating with 35…Rh8 loses to 36. Nd5 Rb7 37. Rfb1 Rh5 38. Nf6 Rh8 39. Ne8+ Kg6 (Kh7 40. Rxe5 mate) 40. Rxe5+ Kh5 41. Rh1 mate.
White's pieces flood the zone, forcing Black's surrender: 37. Rfb1 a6 38. Rf7+ Kh8 (see diagram) 39. R1f2! Rh6 (desperation - 39…Rxf2 40. Rh7 mate) 40. gxh6 Nxh6+ 41. Kh5 Nxf7 42. Rxf7 b5 43. Kg6, and Ni gave up facing lines such as 43…Kg8 44. Bd5 b4 45. Rh7+ Kf8 46. Rh8 mate.
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 e6 4. Bxc6 bxc6 5. d3 Ne7 6. b3 d6 7. e5 Ng6 8. h4 Nxe5 9. Nxe5 dxe5 10. Nd2 c4 11. Nxc4 Ba6 12. Qf3 Qd5 13. Qxd5 cxd5 14. Nxe5 f6 15. Nf3 e5 16. O-O Kf7 17. c4 Be7 18. Be3 Bb7 19. cxd5 Bxd5 20. Rfc1 a5 21. Bc5 Rhd8 22. Bxe7 Draw agreed.

Sancti Petri
Chiclana de la Frontera - Cádiz
The Novo Sancti Petri tourist complex is located on the beach of La Barrosa, in the Spanish city of Chiclana de la Frontera. It is the urbanization that has the largest number of hotel beds in the province of Cádiz and throughout the Costa de la Luz. In it you can find four and five star hotels, as well as golf courses, residential and shopping centers.
In 1988 it seemed a difficult dream to realize, however with the commitment of a group of investors and professionals, Novo Sancti Petri was confirmed year after year as a tourist destination of Golf. In the early 90's Golf in Andalusia seemed to be reserved for the Costa del Sol, however the tenacity and great work of the professionals of Novo Sancti Petri managed to reach the current national impact. In December 1990 the Clubhouse was inaugurated by S.A.R. Don Juan de Borbón. The crisis of the early 1990s caused enormous damage to the investments that had been made in this macro urbanization, which has not yet been completed. If you have to recognize the work of a person, this would be Bernd Stengel, tourism manager brought from Mallorca by the Royaltur Group and who was director of the CORAL booking center during Expo 92, who was making Novo Sancti Petri more visible every week in the German market, getting the direct flights from Germany through the nearby Jerez Airport. It was in the second half of the 90s when investments began to be encouraged again and projects such as the four hotels of Hipotels, Aldiana Andalucía, Meliá Sancti Petri or the expansion of the first hotel in the Urbanization, Royal Andalus Golf and the construction of the perfect complement to this one, Andalucía Playa.
Currently Novo Sancti Petri has two 4-star aparthotels, 8 4-star hotels and two 5-star luxury hotels. Its Golf Course that was inaugurated in 1990 with 27 holes was extended in 2001 with another 9, to add two 18-hole courses: Sea and Pines as "A" and Center as "B".
Novo Sancti Petri, is consolidated as one of the top tourist destinations, preferred by Central European citizens. At a national level, it is one of the most sought after summer areas.

Artists Honor COVID-19 Frontline Healthcare Workers
— Portraits capture challenging times; syringe art injects hope and love
by Amanda D'Ambrosio, Staff Writer, MedPage Today July 23, 2020
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Samrina Danani, RN, said she has not gotten a full night's sleep.
Danani, a 27-year-old graduate student and nurse in the cardiac care unit at Swedish Hospital in Chicago, said her weekly schedule (usually three, 12-hour shifts) turned into four to five 12-hour shifts when cases increased at her hospital. And her shifts rarely ended at the scheduled 12 hours.
She and her team became overworked as the hospital got busier with coronavirus cases. Protective equipment was scarce, and she had to reuse N95 masks and gowns. She often cared for declining COVID-19 patients alone, comforting them as they struggled without family by their side.
Danani said her work took both a physical and mental toll.
"It was a very challenging time for me," Danani told MedPage Today in an email. "I almost felt lost and started to doubt my ability to care for these patients because everything was so unpredictable."
When Danani heard from a friend that artist Steve Derrick was painting portraits of frontline healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, she reached out.
A portrait of Samrina Danani, RN, painted by Steve Derrick.
Upon seeing her portrait, Danani was amazed by the accuracy of the dark circles under her eyes, the details on her Disney-themed face mask and floral scrub cap. In difficult times, the portrait made her feel like a valued and essential member serving her community.
"Anyone that isn't on the front line will never understand the hardship we have gone through and are still going through," Danani said. "Besides the memories, heartbreaks, blood, sweat and tears my co-workers and I have endured, I wanted something concrete that would symbolize this difficult time I am living through."
Derrick has painted more than 100 portraits, highlighting the lines, bruises and marks on providers' faces from working long shifts in protective gear. Derrick has donated all portraits to the medical workers he documents.

"Their stories that come with the people doing this work are really incredible," Derrick told MedPage Today. "You just want to say thank you."
Derrick's project is one of a few art exhibitions launched to honor healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis. Artists across the country have produced and donated their work to celebrate members of the medical community and remember the lives lost by those treating patients on the front lines of the pandemic.
Last week, Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn received a shipment of 1,800 paintings of flowers -- one for each doctor, nurse, administrative worker, and facilities staff member.
The paintings were a part of a project called "Strangers to No One," by Los Angeles-based artist Michael Gittes. The artist used a syringe to paint all 1,800 pieces, which he began working on in the middle of March.
Gittes decided that he wanted to donate his work to a hospital in late February, and he worked with his manager to identify a non-profit hospital that was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. He also wanted to ensure that the hospital was the right size so that he could paint a unique work for each employee.
The idea for the project stemmed from feeling love for healthcare workers whom he did not know, Gittes said. Each unique flower symbolizes individuality.
"I wanted them to feel appreciated not just as a cog in the wheel, but as individuals," Gittes told MedPage Today.

Artists like Derrick and Gittes have chosen to donate their work to healthcare providers on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis. But some curators have also connected with families of the medical community, choosing to honor lives lost.
An art exhibit to honor healthcare workers who died during the pandemic called the Hero Art Project will launch in September 2020 in midtown Manhattan. Around 50 artists will contribute to the memorial, and have been paired with families that have lost a loved one on the front lines.
Susannah Perlman, the curator at ARTHOUSE.NYC, the organization hosting the exhibit, said that the goal of the project is to use art as a healing tool.
"These are our frontline warriors. These are the people who save our lives," Perlman told MedPage Today. "Even though this gesture is small, I think it means so much."
The Hero Art Project is still accepting inquiries from families who lost a loved one on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis, Perlman said.

In the Book category, Sheri Fink for her book Five Days At Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital, published by Crown Publishing Group.
Winners in each category receive a cash prize of $2,500, to be awarded at a reception on October 18, 2014, at the ScienceWriters2014 meeting taking place this year in Columbus, Ohio.
NASW established the Science in Society awards to provide recognition — without subsidy from any professional or commercial interest — for investigative or interpretive reporting about the sciences and their impact on society. The awards are intended to encourage critical, probing work that would not receive an award from an interest group. Beginning with the first award in 1972, NASW has highlighted innovative reporting that goes well beyond the research findings and considers the associated ethical problems and social effects. The awards are especially prestigious because they are judged by accomplished peers.
NASW currently awards prizes in five categories: Books, Science Reporting, Longform Science Reporting, Science Reporting for a Local or Regional Market, and Commentary and Opinion.
In Five Days At Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital, Sheri Fink details the actions of medical staff stranded, with hundreds of patients, at flooded Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans after 2005's Hurricane Katrina. Doctors, nurses, and volunteers labored for five days in sweltering heat and often in darkness to evacuate the patients they could, while trying to keep others — including patients in intensive care — alive. With limited supplies and too few prospects for rescue, exhausted medical staff faced agonizing ethical choices: Who to evacuate first, and how to handle the fragile patients who might not survive evacuation. Before the crisis ended, almost four dozen patients had died; a subsequent investigation indicated that medical staff had euthanized some of those patients by injecting a lethal dose of painkillers. The judges called the book a "meticulously reported and vividly rendered study of a calamity that one might not think could ever unfold in any modern civilization." They also praised the book's detailed accounts of key characters' thoughts and actions, concluding that Fink "painted people thrown into an impossible situation with empathy, yet without apology." It is this "richly textured context," they said, "that enables a reader to appreciate the devastating social cost of failing to prepare for disasters that it should be possible to prepare for."
"A Race to Save the Orange by Altering Its DNA" was published in the New York Times on July 28, 2013. The article tells the story of a bacterial disease spread by insects that has infected much of Florida's orange crop and is spreading uncontrollably. Traditional methods of fighting plant disease, such as breeding naturally resistant trees, have not succeeded. Genetic modification could save existing trees and create new resistant ones, but growers are wary, as Amy Harmon writes, of "damaging the image of juice long promoted as '100 percent natural.'" The judges praised Harmon's "deeply reported and elegantly written dive into one company's struggle to save the Florida orange crop through genetically modified organisms (GMOs)." The "idiosyncrasies of the case give readers a fresh look" at the conflicts between the science of GMOs and the widespread misconceptions that lead to fears about the technology.
The final judging committee consisted of Siri Carpenter (freelance and editor, The Open Notebook), Laura Helmuth (science and health editor, Slate) and David Quammen (author and contributing writer, National Geographic). The Science in Society awards committee was co-chaired by Amber Dance, a freelance journalist and staffer at Alzforum.org, and Dennis Meredith, a freelance science writer and communication consultant.
In addition to the final committee, NASW thanks the volunteers who served on the preliminary committees: Jill Adams (freelance), Anil Ananthaswamy (New Scientist), Christie Aschwanden (freelance), Eric Bender (freelance), Bill Cannon (Scientists' Bookshelf), Tim Folger (freelance), Douglas Fox (freelance), Lynne Friedmann (freelance), Lauren Gravitz (freelance), Karyn Hede (freelance), Earle Holland (freelance), Steve Mirsky (Scientific American), Kendall Powell (freelance), Sam Roe (Chicago Tribune), Joel Shurkin (freelance) and Alexandra Witze (Nature).
Entries for next year's competition, for material published or broadcast in 2014, are due February 1, 2015. Entry forms will be available at www.nasw.org in December 2014.
The largest organization devoted to the professional interests of science writers, the National Association of Science Writers fosters the dissemination of accurate information regarding science through all media normally devoted to informing the public. Its 2,525 members include science writers and editors, and science-writing educators and students.

This program centers on the in vitro and in vivo validation of a new series of inhibitors of DNA Methyl Transferase (DNMT), a target involved in the modulation of gene expression. Drugs which act against DNMT are currently being used in the clinic, and this program will leverage newly acquired inhibitors that could be active on both solid and liquid tumors, as well as having improved pharmacokinetic and safety profiles. Experiments looking at the compounds' efficacy in liquid tumor animal models will be conducted.

Africa's Answer to Amazon on Balancing Speed with Discipline
By Robb Young December 15, 2020 05:30
Jumia has seized the e-commerce opportunity in dynamic markets from Nigeria to Egypt, though it didn't see the growth rates analysts expected during the pandemic. Next year, the e-tailer will be even more disciplined about its path to profitability, says chairperson Juliet Anammah.
Juliet Anammah, chairperson at Jumia Nigeria and head institutional affairs at Jumia Group; Jumia's IPO in 2019. Jumia; Shutterstock.
This article appeared first in The State of Fashion 2021, an in-depth report on the global fashion industry, co-published by BoF and McKinsey & Company. To learn more and download a copy of the report, click here.
Less than a year after ringing the ceremonial bell at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate the IPO of the first African start-up listed there, Juliet Anammah and her colleagues were devising an emergency action plan to liaise with health ministries in the eleven countries where Jumia operates. The recently promoted executive was used to representing the e-commerce heavyweight at the highest levels of negotiations with governments and global business leaders, but nothing could have prepared her for the agility and diplomatic resolve that she and leaders like her needed during the pandemic.
In more ways than one, 2020 has been a rollercoaster year for "the Amazon of Africa." But as an e-commerce platform selling everything from luggage to laptops and food to footwear, Jumia remains an attractive channel for brands to access consumers on the continent, and Anammah remains bullish about the firm's prospects in 2021.
BoF: How much more room is there for Jumia to grow in the year ahead and what role do you now play in the continent's online acceleration? Is it different from the role you played in the first eight years of growth?
Juliet Anammah: We still have decades of growth ahead of us. If you look at the penetration of e-commerce on the continent, at best, it's still about two percent, three percent. There is still a whole lot of upside in terms of more transactions that we can bring online, and we are addressing this in multiple dimensions. We're increasing the variety of products that can be found on Jumia. Today, a consumer can buy virtually anything on Jumia [not just] fashion products and beauty products. They can buy airtime [for mobile phones] and pay bills on Jumia. And within each of the categories where we operate, the assortment is growing every year. All of these are things that are relevant [in terms of our growth trajectory in the context of Africa's ever-] increasing [e-commerce] penetration rate.
BoF: Some people credit Jumia with "revolutionising" e-commerce in Africa. Others accuse it of being a clone of Amazon, citing the successive roll-out of services like Jumia Prime, Jumia Express and so on. What do you say?
JA: I'd say: one, you don't reinvent the wheel. It makes no sense to go and start rewriting the rule book on how e-commerce works. Consumers [around the world] are already used to a certain way of interacting with e-commerce platforms. It's important that you give them something that they're familiar with — but adapt it. So we said, "How will consumers trust that the item will be delivered to them?" because logistics is a big challenge in Africa. We had to solve the trust question by creating a cash on delivery option with three attempts to make a delivery, a payment solution and all kinds of special [service infrastructure]. I call it adapting the e-commerce model for the African environment and customising it to the African consumer. We couldn't just take a model from another region, and then implant it in Africa. That wouldn't have worked. But for people to now say, "Oh, this is the Amazon of Africa," it means they recognise that what we're doing for Africa is what Amazon did in the US. So, to the extent that [the "Amazon of Africa" nickname] makes me feel anything, it makes me feel happy.
BoF: Jumia provides a sales platform for consumers in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt. How do you manage to optimise the customer experience for such a hugely diverse group of markets with different regulatory environments and different consumer behaviours across that colossal expanse of the continent?
JA: We didn't have the luxury of having big, established logistics players that could reach every part of the country who were also willing to take cash on delivery, so we had to create a network of third-party logistics providers. We just built the systems that would allow us to then leverage that and the data systems for it.
BoF: That's impressive. But how do you localise Jumia's assortment across African nations with so many different wardrobe preferences — not only between the different markets but also within each market?
JA: Assortment differs [by market] because we operate across 11 countries [but] there are certain brands that we have partnerships with on a global level… But if you take Nigeria, for example, there are small local designer outlets producing affordably priced clothing for work [and] some creating African native fashion for special occasions. We also customise our marketing. In certain markets, YouTube is important and others it is different social media.
BoF: To what extent do you feel that Jumia's path to profitability has been impacted by Covid-19? How do things look now in the run-up to 2021?
JA: During the Covid pandemic we didn't need to spend as much on sales and advertising as we would have done in normal times [so] overall, you'll find that net losses were reduced between 2019 to 2020. Of course, we had taken some decisions earlier on about staff costs and other operational expenditures that matured by the second quarter of 2020, which held our gross merchandise value (GMV) expenses down further. In terms of the top line, it wasn't phenomenal growth. Some people expected us to see triple-digit growth over 2020 versus 2019. Their perception was that the whole of Africa was ordering online, which is not the case. You need to understand that it's a long-term play for e-commerce. It's not a two-year stint and you march on to profitability. It takes a pretty long time. Where we are right now, we're very much focused on our account profitability.
It's a long-term play for e-commerce. It's not a two-year stint and you march on to profitability.
BoF: You were the CEO of Jumia Nigeria for four years before being appointed chairperson in 2020. How have you led your team to source the right products for the mass market?
JA: We are a platform for everyone. We're agnostic. So you have top brands from Procter & Gamble, and then you also have the distributors, the small-size wholesalers that bring a lot more variety of brands in their portfolio. Then of course, we have local sellers who bring rich diversity even though they may only have 10 to 50 SKUs in total. You also have to remember, these are countries going through a very difficult period now. [African] consumer purchasing power is increasingly going to be squeezed so we need to bring an assortment that's relevant to the consumer, in terms of the price-performance ratio. Whether it's a fast-fashion brand from China, a big brand from Turkey, or an established brand from [Europe or the US], to the extent that they have assortment and product designs that recognise the specific price needs of our consumers at this point in time, then those products will be successful on our platform.
BoF: You've said that luxury brands are definitely not a priority for Jumia, but to what extent is Jumia interested in negotiating more deals with global fashion brands from the US or Europe, assuming of course that their assortment is right and their price point hits your sweet spot?
JA: The commercial team are constantly looking at new partnerships. Fashion is one of the top five or six categories where we're definitely very hungry for new partnerships. Having said that, the sweet spot, if I remember rightly, it used to be between $10 to $20. Of course, you also have consumers who would want higher price points and product designs. But what you may consider a lower price point from a US or a UK perspective, is still relatively pricy on the continent. It's looking at how brands rework their route to market in such a way that they can make products available within a $20, $25, $30 price point reach. What I think would be difficult is if those brands use their existing route to market, they may not be able to deliver those price points.
BoF: Are you referring to the added margins incurred due to distributors?
JA: I think it's more than that. It's really taking a proper look at the entire value chain and asking, okay, where do we source? Where do we produce these items and using fabrics at what price? Who are the middlemen and key channel partners before it gets to Jumia? Fashion brands [that are interested in partnering with us] have to look at it very critically to see where the opportunities are to really drive the price down. Brand executives would need to be assertive about saying, "We are focusing on Africa and Africa is an opportunity for us." If this is the mindset and objective at corporate level, then you have the corporate backing which means you also have the motivation and incentive to really look at the entire value chain and route to market and figure out how to make sure that products can ultimately be sold on Jumia at $20 and $25. At the end of the day, it's about the different [and sometimes competing emerging market] priorities that are on the CEO's table. Apart from Asia, they also have the Latin American market opportunity. So if there is no hunger at corporate headquarters saying, "We want to grow in Africa," then it's not going to work.
BoF: Going forward, how much heat will Jumia feel from online competitors like Konga in Nigeria or Takealot in South Africa?
JA: There's so much to be done on the continent that, if anything, competition is welcome because everybody understands there is huge, huge potential ahead of us.

St. Lucie and Martin County, Florida residents get most of their electric service from Florida Power & Light (FPL). Though electricity is not really "penny cheap", we should consider ourselves fortunate. By operating efficiently, FPL has kept its typical residential customer bills among the very lowest of all 55 electric utilities in Florida. By investing in more efficient power generation technology, their operating costs are the lowest of all utilities in the country with more than 100,000 customers. These improvements saved FPL customers approximately half a billion dollars in fuel costs in 2010 alone.
FPL ranks No. 2 among electric utilities nationwide in electric generation avoided through demand-side management programs. Because of partnership with customers, FPL has saved more megawatts than nearly any other utility in the country.

Sometimes you come back from an edge you didn't know you were standing on. I finished novella "In the Forests of the Night" almost a week ago. That's the first major piece of new fiction I've written since the cancer diagnosis. It was difficult to write for reasons which aren't clear to me yet, but not onerously so.
I sent the story to the first readers and to the editor. I've heard back from various quarters that is works well. It wasn't until I heard back that I realized I'd been holding my figurative breath — waiting to see if I'd Lost It to my disease.
This is utterly non-rational, and I didn't know I'd been doing it, but I felt like I'd passed a very important gateway. Fred did not live inside my tumor, or my sigmoid colon. He lives inside my head. Which I've always known, but the brain-spoon has been stirring so much lately.
I'm so relieved that I think I'll go write something else!

Q: Renaming files after folder name I need to rename multiple files after the folder that they are in using automator. e.g. index.html renamed to folder1.html
https://imgur.com/a/Cjgkn3V
I have about 900 folders with one file in them each all named index.html.

A: This is straight forward as using Terminal:

*

*Open the Terminal app

*type in "cd " (note the space) and then drag the folder containing all the folders on to the terminal window. Then press return.

*Paste this in the terminal window and press enter:

for f in `ls -1`; do
  if [[ -f $f/$index.html ]]; then
    cp $f/index.html $f/$f.html;
  fi;
done

Note that I am using the cp command here so it copies the index.html file instead of moving it. Just incase... :)
You can add this to a 'Run Shell Script' action in Automator. Just need to make sure your automator script is saved in the folder with all the sub folders.

Air pollution killed more than 1.8 MILLION people in 2019, with 2.5 billion living in areas with unsafe levels, study finds
Experts from George Washington University studied fine particulate pollution
This type of air pollution is a known risk factor for various diseases of the lungs
The team found that 86% of city dwellers were exposed to unsafe levels in 2019
Another study found NO₂ accounted for 1.85 million child asthma cases that year
The researchers said the works highlight the need to combat urban air pollution
By Ian Randall For Mailonline
Air pollution likely contributed to the deaths of more than 1.8 million people across the globe in the year 2019 alone, a study has concluded.
George Washington University-led experts studied urban concentrations of so-called PM₂.₅ — fine particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less.
PM₂.₅ is the leading environmental disease risk factor, with inhalation known to lead to conditions including cardiovascular disease, lung cancer and respiratory disease.
The team analysed fine particulate matter concentrations and associated mortality trends in the period from 2000–2019 in over 13,000 cities across the globe.
Their models found that over the course of 2019, 86 per cent of city-dwellers — 2.5 billion people — were exposed to PM₂.₅ at levels that had been deemed unsafe.
The World Health Organization's 2019 guidance recommended one not be exposed to an annual average of more than 10 micrograms of PM₂.₅ per cubic metre of air.
Last year, the guidance tightened to 5 μg. In comparison, the average population-weighted PM₂.₅ concentration across all urban areas in 2019 was seven times higher.
In fact, this figure had not changed since the year 2000 — with PM₂.₅, the team said, being responsible for some 61 in every 100,000 deaths in 2019.
'Over 1.21 million deaths in urban areas globally could have been avoided in 2019 if all urban areas had met the WHO guideline,' the team wrote in their paper.

'The majority of the world's urban population still live in areas with unhealthy levels of PM₂.₅,' said George Washington University public health researcher Veronica Southerland. Pictured: trends in mortality rates (left), PM₂.₅ pollution (centre) and PM₂.₅-attributed deaths (right)
Particulate Matter (PM, for short) is a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air.
They are created from a variety of sources including traffic, construction sites, unpaved roads, fields, smokestacks or fires.
Most particles form in the atmosphere as a result of reactions of chemicals such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
Some PM, such as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, is large or dark enough to be seen with the naked eye.
Other PM is so small it can only be detected using an electron microscope.
PM₂.₅ — with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrometres and smaller — differ from PM₁₀, which have diameters of 10 micrometres or less.

'The majority of the world's urban population still live in areas with unhealthy levels of PM₂.₅,' said paper author and public health researcher Veronica Southerland of the George Washington University in Washington DC.
'Avoiding the large public health burden caused by air pollution will require strategies that not only reduce emissions, but also improve overall public health to reduce vulnerability.'
More than half of the world's population — 55 per cent, to be exact — currently live in cities. Despite this, the team said, there has been little research into the disease burden of particulate matter across urban area beyond that of megacities.
The researchers also noted that — while average global urban PM₂.₅ concentrations remained largely consistent from 2000–2019 — there were also large variations on a regional scale.
The largest regional increase in urban fine particulate matter concentrations was seen in Southeast Asia, where the average population-weighted PM₂.₅ concentration rose by 27 per cent over the two decades.
Cities in Southeast Asia also experienced the largest increase in PM₂.₅-attributable mortality rates, increasing by roughly a third from 63 to 84 out of every 100,000 people between 2000–2019.
In contrast to Southeast Asia, urban areas in some regions did experience a decrease in PM₂.₅ concentrations over the two-decade-period.

For example, cities in Africa, Europe and the Americas recorded decreases in PM₂.₅ concentrations of 18, 21 and 29 per cent, respectively.
However, the team noted that these improvements were not accompanied by commensurate decreases in PM₂.₅-attributable mortality rates.
This, the researchers said, shows that other demographic factors — such as poor general health and an ageing population — are also influential drivers of pollution-related mortality burdens.
The researchers did caution that their study had some limitations and uncertainties— for example, in how they were forced to calculate mortality rates based on country-wide, baseline disease rates, rather than those specific to urban areas.]
Furthermore, the team only assessed the impact of PM₂.₅ on mortality, rather than its wider health burdens which can include low birth weight, premature births and cognitive impairment.
The full findings of Ms Southerland and colleagues' study were published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health.
One of Ms Southerland's co-authors, fellow George Washington University public health researcher Susan Anenberg, is also the lead of another air pollution-related study that was published yesterday.
This one focussed on pollution in the form of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), a gas released primarily by agriculture, industrial manufacturing, powerplants and vehicles — showing that, in 2019, such accounted for 1.85 million new paediatric asthma cases.
Previous studies had shown that transport-related air pollution, for which NO₂ serves as a marker, is linked to both the onset and exacerbation of asthma in children.
However, the researchers explained, until now no studies had specifically analysed for trends in the paediatric asthma burden of transport-related NO₂ pollution in urban areas.
In their study, Professor Anenberg and colleagues combined satellite observations with data on different types of land use — for examples, roads vs green spaces — in order to determine global NO₂ concentrations to a 0.6 mile (1 kilometre resolution).
This data was then applied to population and baseline asthma rates, allowing the team to estimate the impact of NO₂ pollution on paediatric asthma incidence for 13,189 urban areas across the globe between 2000–2019.
The team found that, in 2019, 8.5 per cent of all new paediatric asthma cases were associated with NO₂ pollution — 1.85 million cases in total — with two in every three occurring in urban settings. Pictured: a young child is assisted in using his inhaler (stock image)
The team found that, in 2019, 8.5 per cent of all new paediatric asthma cases were associated with NO₂ pollution — 1.85 million cases in total — with two in every three occurring in urban settings.
Overall, nitrogen dioxide emissions were responsible in 2019 for 16 per cent of all new cases of asthma in city-dwelling children — a total of 1.2 million cases.
This is the same absolute figure as in the year 2000, but such represents a relative decrease when factoring in the 14 per cent growth in urban population, with the asthma rate per 100,000 children falling 11 per cent from 176 to 156 across the study.
'Our results demonstrate the important influence of combustion-related air pollution on children's health in cities globally,' said Professor Anenberg.
'In places that have effective air quality management programs, nitrogen dioxide concentrations have been trending downward for decades, with benefits for children's respiratory health.
'Even with these improvements, current nitrogen dioxide levels contribute substantially to paediatric asthma incidence, highlighting that mitigating air pollution should be a critical element of children's public health strategies.'

Limitations of the study's methodology, the team cautioned, include the potential for underestimation of baseline paediatric asthma rates in low-to-middle-income countries, which may led to an underestimation of NO₂'s impact on asthma rates.
As with the previous study, the team were forced to rely on national-level, rather than urban-specific, data on paediatric asthma rates — which would have also failed to take into account how the prevalence of asthma can vary within countries.
Finally, the team noted, it is presently unclear whether incidences of paediatric asthma are associated with NO₂, the traffic-related air pollution mixture, or the broader combustion-related air pollution mixture.
Regardless, both of the recent studies considered together highlight the urgent need to improve the quality of air within our cities and reduce exposure to harmful emissions — particular among our youngest and most senior citizens.
The full findings of the second study were published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health.
Revealed: MailOnline dissects the impact greenhouse gases have on the planet - and what is being done to stop air pollution
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the biggest contributors to global warming. After the gas is released into the atmosphere it stays there, making it difficult for heat to escape - and warming up the planet in the process.
It is primarily released from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, as well as cement production.
The average monthly concentration of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere, as of April 2019, is 413 parts per million (ppm). Before the Industrial Revolution, the concentration was just 280 ppm.
CO2 concentration has fluctuated over the last 800,000 years between 180 to 280ppm, but has been vastly accelerated by pollution caused by humans.
AirVisual Privacy Policy
The gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2) comes from burning fossil fuels, car exhaust emissions and the use of nitrogen-based fertilisers used in agriculture.
Although there is far less NO2 in the atmosphere than CO2, it is between 200 and 300 times more effective at trapping heat.
Sulfur dioxide
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) also primarily comes from fossil fuel burning, but can also be released from car exhausts.
SO2 can react with water, oxygen and other chemicals in the atmosphere to cause acid rain.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an indirect greenhouse gas as it reacts with hydroxyl radicals, removing them. Hydroxyl radicals reduce the lifetime of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
What is particulate matter?
Particulate matter refers to tiny parts of solids or liquid materials in the air.
Some are visible, such as dust, whereas others cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Materials such as metals, microplastics, soil and chemicals can be in particulate matter.
Particulate matter (or PM) is described in micrometres. The two main ones mentioned in reports and studies are PM10 (less than 10 micrometres) and PM2.5 (less than 2.5 micrometres).
Air pollution comes from burning fossil fuels, cars, cement making and agriculture
Scientists measure the rate of particulates in the air by cubic metre.
Particulate matter is sent into the air by a number of processes including burning fossil fuels, driving cars and steel making.
Why are particulates dangerous?
Particulates are dangerous because those less than 10 micrometres in diameter can get deep into your lungs, or even pass into your bloodstream. Particulates are found in higher concentrations in urban areas, particularly along main roads.
What sort of health problems can pollution cause?
According to the World Health Organization, a third of deaths from stroke, lung cancer and heart disease can be linked to air pollution.
Some of the effects of air pollution on the body are not understood, but pollution may increase inflammation which narrows the arteries leading to heart attacks or strokes.
As well as this, almost one in 10 lung cancer cases in the UK are caused by air pollution.
Particulates find their way into the lungs and get lodged there, causing inflammation and damage. As well as this, some chemicals in particulates that make their way into the body can cause cancer.
Deaths from pollution
Around seven million people die prematurely because of air pollution every year. Pollution can cause a number of issues including asthma attacks, strokes, various cancers and cardiovascular problems.
Asthma triggers
Air pollution can cause problems for asthma sufferers for a number of reasons. Pollutants in traffic fumes can irritate the airways, and particulates can get into your lungs and throat and make these areas inflamed.
Problems in pregnancy
Women exposed to air pollution before getting pregnant are nearly 20 per cent more likely to have babies with birth defects, research suggested in January 2018.
Living within 3.1 miles (5km) of a highly-polluted area one month before conceiving makes women more likely to give birth to babies with defects such as cleft palates or lips, a study by University of Cincinnati found.
For every 0.01mg/m3 increase in fine air particles, birth defects rise by 19 per cent, the research adds.
Previous research suggests this causes birth defects as a result of women suffering inflammation and 'internal stress'.
What is being done to tackle air pollution?
Paris agreement on climate change
The Paris Agreement, which was first signed in 2015, is an international agreement to control and limit climate change.
It hopes to hold the increase in the global average temperature to below 2°C (3.6ºF) 'and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C (2.7°F)'.
Carbon neutral by 2050
The UK government has announced plans to make the country carbon neutral by 2050.
They plan to do this by planting more trees and by installing 'carbon capture' technology at the source of the pollution.
Some critics are worried that this first option will be used by the government to export its carbon offsetting to other countries.
International carbon credits let nations continue emitting carbon while paying for trees to be planted elsewhere, balancing out their emissions.
No new petrol or diesel vehicles by 2040
In 2017, the UK government announced the sale of new petrol and diesel cars would be banned by 2040.
However, MPs on the climate change committee have urged the government to bring the ban forward to 2030, as by then they will have an equivalent range and price.
The Paris Agreement, which was first signed in 2015, is an international agreement to control and limit climate change. Pictured: air pollution over Paris in 2019.
Norway's electric car subsidies
The speedy electrification of Norway's automotive fleet is attributed mainly to generous state subsidies. Electric cars are almost entirely exempt from the heavy taxes imposed on petrol and diesel cars, which makes them competitively priced.
A VW Golf with a standard combustion engine costs nearly 334,000 kroner (34,500 euros, $38,600), while its electric cousin the e-Golf costs 326,000 kroner thanks to a lower tax quotient.
Criticisms of inaction on climate change
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has said there is a 'shocking' lack of Government preparation for the risks to the country from climate change.
The committee assessed 33 areas where the risks of climate change had to be addressed – from flood resilience of properties to impacts on farmland and supply chains – and found no real progress in any of them.
The UK is not prepared for 2°C of warming, the level at which countries have pledged to curb temperature rises, let alone a 4°C rise, which is possible if greenhouse gases are not cut globally, the committee said.
It added that cities need more green spaces to stop the urban 'heat island' effect, and to prevent floods by soaking up heavy rainfall.

While I have heard extensive arguments on whether or not one should by a knock off of an original piece of furniture, I have to admit I am split. Some times its the history of the piece that is personally most important to me, and sometimes it is the design. All debates aside, this Bucket Eifel Base Chair from white on white is looking pretty sweet for $115. Sure it may not be perfectly true to the original design, but it is a lot more true to the original purpose of the chair which was to produce an attractive chair at a price that would be easy for the masses to afford. See my rant on that here. Available form White on White for $115, rocker version for $125 Comments? Post them here in the forums.

I subscribe to a small number of retail email lists that notify me of "special deals" on items that are of general interest to me...primarily electronics and some sporting goods. I rarely end up ordering anything via those e-flyers, but the one exception is Best Buy's "Deal of the Day" email. I've gotten some really good savings on things like memory cards and flash drives; these items pop up on the email frequently. And now I have another product that I'll be watching for: light bulbs.
The primary lighting source in our home is 65-watt equivalent indoor flood lamps in recessed ceiling fixtures (aka canned lights). I've never counted them but I'm guessing we have about thirty, and that adds up to a pretty significant investment in light bulbs. Our current bulb of choice is that evil incandescent model that haunts Al Gore's nightmares.
I've never been enamored with CFL bulbs. I gave the swirlies a whirl in our previous house and didn't see any greater life in those bulbs as compared to incandescents, and found the non-instant-on feature quite annoying. I'm all in favor of saving energy, but just can't see the devil in incandescent bulbs that everyone claims is lurking there.
I would, however, be quite open to trying an LED bulb, even though the strings of LED Christmas lights we used in the past were ridiculously wimpy. So, when Best Buy advertised these LED indoor floods for half price, I was intrigued. I put an order in for three of them, and have been using a couple in our home office for about a week. I'm very happy with the result.
Even though the bulbs are slightly smaller than the ones they replaced, they're actually brighter, and they put out almost no heat, which will be a blessing when (if?) we get into serious summer. I have no idea if their lifespan will come close to the ridiculous-sounding claim on the box, but even if it's only half as good, it will still be better than the incandescents.
At a couple of sawbucks per bulb, I'm not anxious to undertake a wide scale replacement of all our bulbs, but at half that price, it begins to make more sense. So, I'm going to keep an eye out for future deals in the daily email, and see if the bulbs will actually make a noticeable dent in our electric bills.
Last year, we had our entire house re-wired. Initially, I hired an electrician to replace two tube florescent fixtures in our kitchen which had conked out due to age... the house is old and these fixtures had been in use for well over 20 years.
When they delved into the ancient wiring and cobbled up mess of previous "fixes" in our attic, it didn't take me long to realize we needed to update all the wiring. Since I was tired of using the adapters for 3-pronged cords anyway, one look at the rotting cloth covering the wire that had been chewed on by several generations of squirrels (I hope they were squirrels, because rats with teeth that big frighten me) and I said "OK, rewire this house."
And since I hated the ceiling fixtures in almost every room, I decided this was a good time to replace them. I chose LED fixtures for six rooms and so far (13 months) I am thrilled. The two fixtures in the kitchen are still florescent, but with smaller tubes that give off just as much light. The bathroom fixtures can accept either kind of bulb as can our lamps.
Since we had already replaced the ancient AC with an energy efficient one and replaced all the windows with these double-paned permanent storm window thingies, our electric bill was already low, so I can't tell if the LED bulbs are all that energy efficient. What I do know is that I haven't replaced a burned out bulb in 13 months and I'm not careful about lighting up the place day and night.
One LED bulb in one lamp has burned almost continuously since the new wiring. It's our night light and it's in a room that needs extra light during the daytime. The only time it's not been on is when the power is out to the entire house during a storm. We would have changed an incandescent bulb at least 3 times.
I am (in case you hadn't guessed) a big fan of LED lighting.

Higher Disease Activity in Current Smokers with Established RA: Is It Disease, Damage or Disability?
Emily Keeler1, Danielle Feger2, Nancy J. Olsen1 and Rayford R. June3, 1Medicine/Rheumatology, Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA, 2Medicine/Rheumatology, Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey, PA, 3Rheumatology, Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA
Keywords: Disability, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and tobacco use
Session Title: Rheumatoid Arthritis – Clinical Aspects Poster II: Pathophysiology, Autoantibodies, and Disease Activity Measures
Background/Purpose: Smoking is an important environmental risk factor for development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Smoking has been linked to lower rates of disease remission, incomplete response to DMARD therapy, and elevated serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Former smokers respond equally well to DMARD treatment as never smokers. In established RA patients, it is unknown if smoking cessation improves RA-associated outcomes. We aimed to investigate the association of tobacco use and disease activity in established RA patients. We hypothesized that current tobacco use in established RA is associated with increased DAS28-CRP and is affected by RA-associated comorbidities.
Methods: We performed a case control study on 95 patients with RA. Patients were consented and enrolled in the Penn State Investigation of Remission in Rheumatoid Arthritis cohort. Disease activity was measured by DAS28-CRP. Smoking was categorized as current, former or never status. Chi-square (X2) or Fisher's exact test were used to test for differences between categorical variables, and ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test were used for continuous variables. The primary outcome was the association of smoking status with DAS28-CRP. Multivariable linear regression was performed with covariates including age, education, pack years, disability as measured by the modified health assessment questionnaire (MHAQ), nodules, hypertension, periodontitis, and disease duration.
Results: RA subjects had an average age of 55.5 years, 74% were female and > 90% were Caucasian. Subjects had established RA with a mean disease duration of 10.9 years, 87% were seropositive, and mean DAS28-CRP was 3.36. 89.3% of patients met the 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for RA. 19% percent were current smokers and 36% were former smokers, who were 10 years older than current smokers (p<0.05). Mean DAS28-CRP was significantly higher (p=0.003) in current smokers (4.40) compared to former (3.26) and never (2.95) smokers. Current smokers had a lower odds of being in remission than never smokers (OR=0.14, p=0.02). Rheumatoid nodules were more prevalent in current smokers (p=0.06). Level of education was inversely associated with DAS28-CRP (p=0.008). Median MHAQ scores were significantly higher in current smokers (0.75) than former smokers (0; p=0.02). MHAQ scores were strongly associated with DAS28-CRP (p<0.0001). There was no difference in DAS28-CRP scores between smoking groups when controlled for MHAQ score, education, and periodontitis.
Conclusion: Current smokers with established RA have higher disease activity and are significantly less likely to be in remission. Smoking status and RA disease activity are strongly associated with disability, education level, and periodontal scores, implying both a socioeconomic and pathophysiologic basis for this association. Effects of smoking cessation on RA outcomes would be of interest.

The game itself is simple: Just before you begin to meditate, start a stopwatch on your phone. Then breathe in, and as you do so, internally say "one." Then breathe out and internally (or externally) say "two." Try to take these breaths as slowly as you can, with all of your focus on the current breath and current number. Keep doing this until you breathe out and say "ten," and when that breath is finished, stop the stopwatch and see how long it took. The game is to make this time as long as possible.

Tom and Toledo de Kerser did a fabulous job in the electric atmosphere in the dressage arena at Tryon posting a final score of 28.4 which is less than a pole off second place. With just the last rotation of team horses left to go this afternoon things are hotting up here both in temperature and in reality!
It has been seriously hot here with high humidity as well and while some of the horses are not exactly loving it I would say that Toledo is adoring it! He looks a picture and it was a simple error in the last change that was the only low score of the test.
As always Tom not only rode beautifully but also dealt with allot of horsepower underneath him with tact and diplomacy.
There have been several meetings with the Chef d'Equippes and the Ground Jury over the length of the course as it was mooted that is may be shortened to 10 minutes. Not many of the nations were in favour of this as it is a World Championships and most have brought blood horses for a reason. It has now been decided that the course will remain at 11 minutes with a couple of modifications to the last two fences.
We do have torrential rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday so that is only going to add to the stamina test and it will be interesting to see how the ground holds up.

High Honor for Forestry Professor
Peter Kanowski receives an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Freiburg
Freiburg, Jul 12, 2019
Peter Kanowski. Photo: private
The Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Freiburg is awarding an honorary doctorate to Prof. Dr. Peter Kanowski. A Professor of Forestry at the Australian National University in Canberra, Kanowski is one of the most renowned researchers worldwide in the field of international forest governance. For the past three years, he has also been teaching at the University of Freiburg for one month every summer.
The Faculty says it chose to award the doctorate to Kanowski based on his outstanding research and commitment – and also because of the ideas he has contributed to many international initiatives involved in forest-related issues. His primarily focus is on conflicts regarding the use of forests and other natural resources, for which he strives to find solutions grounded in scientific evidence. While serving as a high-ranking official in several organizations, he has significantly contributed to international discussions concerning the intensive management of forest plantations and the genetic modification of trees. Kanowski has always believed that scientific evidence should be the foundation for making management and policy decisions, and during his time as Deputy Director General of the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), he founded a much recognized international initiative for evidence-based forestry research.
Thanks to his integrity and authority, Kanowski has earned great respect from scientists, policy makers, and representatives of civil society. For this reason, he is frequently asked to head inquiries on controversial and politically charged issues, including the Council of Australian Governments' National Bushfire Inquiry following the bushfire catastrophe of 2003.
Kanowski is an inspiring and charismatic leader, said the Faculty in explanation of its decision. Not only was it impressed with Kanowski's approach to scientific and sociopolitical issues related to forests and the environment, it also commends his expertise and his qualities as a teacher, advisor, and mentor. He has already received many awards for his work as an educator. Furthermore, with his immense skill and experience – for example, as a leader in the International Partnership for Forestry Education (IPFE) – he has also contributed significantly to cultivating the international focus of the University of Freiburg's Master of Sciences in Forest Sciences degree program.
