This set of large duplications covers a large portion of the second chromosome. These duplications are particularly useful in screening for dosage-dependent enhancers and suppressors of mutant phenotypes. In addition, because most of the Cam duplications are nested within inverted chromosomal segments, they act as balancer chromosomes for the duplicated regions, making them ideal for recovering and maintaining haplo-lethal and haplo-sterile mutations.

Decision details
Lancashire Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Partnership - Update on the Accelerated Progress Plan
Decision Maker: Lancashire Health and Wellbeing Board - SEND Sub-Committee
Update report on the Lancashire Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Partnership - Draft Accelerated Progress Plan.
Decisions:
Sarah Callaghan, Director of Education and Skills, Lancashire County Council, and Zoe Richards, Senior Programme Manager for SEND, Lancashire and South Cumbria and Hilary Fordham, Morecambe Bay Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), introduced the item.
It was noted that the first monitoring visit had taken place, as shown in the report and monthly reports would be produced for the Committee containing the progress made for each action since the last meeting of the Committee. The report for this meeting was in reference to progress made to the actions for October and November 2020
Each action in the report were taken in turn and members' provided comments to each action:
Action One: Leaders' Understanding of Local Area
In terms of Action One, the following key messages were noted:
Good progress had been made with regard to the leaders' understanding of the local area and that the new SEND Partnership Manager and Local Officer Development Officer posts, jointly funded by Lancashire County Council and the NHS, would both commence their employment on 4 January.
A joint County Council/Health data team had been established and strong scrutiny and challenge processes are in place, including the data dashboard, which is currently being developed. The Personal Outcomes Evaluation Tool (POET) survey had now been reviewed and the relevant action was being taken. The survey Monkey Quiz was being developed and the agreed focus of support was in place.
A feedback mechanism would be piloted from January and most health providers within the Lancashire and South Cumbria footprint have engaged with the Data Quality Improvement Programme.
Members' requested that a key of the colours used for Red – Amber – Green (RAG) ratings should be included in the document, along with a glossary of abbreviations and terms. The report should also be amended to identify which key milestones referred to which of the particular priorities.
Action Two: Joint Commissioning
In terms of Action Two, the following key messages were noted:
A report had been sent to the Children and Young People's Commissioning Network, which looks at the strategic element of commissioning arrangements across Lancashire and South Cumbria, and a Lancashire Commissioning Group, which considers tactical arrangements particular to the county, have recently been convened. School Nurse Practitioner Workshops had been held in November and December and the Special School Nursing Task Group had been reconvened. A review of Specialist Children's Nursing Services had also been completed, with parent and carers asked for feedback. Continence policy arrangements had also been reviewed and would shortly be sent out to stakeholders.
All key milestones for this quarter are on target and progressing well but it was noted that the implications of the response to Covid-19 had made an impact on the commissioning capacity.
Action Three: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Pathway
In terms of Action Three, the following key messages were noted:
All providers and Clinical Commissioning Groups had engaged in a recovery plan approach and a request for recovery plan funding had been made to the Integrated Care System for support for a whole system improvement plan for all local authorities within Lancashire.
Links had been made with the National Autism Team and the Autism Spectrum Disorder National Clinical Lead had undertaken a gap and demand analysis and feasibility study, the report for which is expected at the end of December 2021.
A Neuro-Developmental (ND) Pathway Group to deliver the Autism Spectrum Disorder Project Plan across the Integrated Care System had been established in December 2019. This Group has agreed that the Autism Spectrum Disorder Project Plan would be the priority for the duration of the Accelerated Progress Plan (APP) and an update would be provided at a future meeting of the SEND Sub-Committee.
It was reported that three of the key milestones had been completed, but there were concerns over not being able to appoint private sector Digital Assessors, the quality of output from private providers and data requirements not being met by private providers.
There were still key issues and gaps that remained which included the Neuro-Developmental (ND) Pathway Co-ordinators that had not yet been appointed, although it was noted that this should be resolved by January/February 2021.
Following the presentation, the following were clarified:
That in relation to the response rate from parent carers regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder and Neuro-Developmental (ASD/ND) support, a 30% response rate should be achieved within the next three months, 50% within six months, with the final expectation being a 70% response rate.
Following a suggestion to invite the National Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Lead to the next meeting of the SEND Sub-Committee in order that they could present their report to the committee directly, members' were informed that their report information would be fed into a report that was to be presented to the SEND Partnership Board and a suggestion was made that members' of this Committee could be invited to that particular meeting.
Following a query regarding the red RAG rating around the quality of output from private providers and a request for assurance that there were not a backlog as a result of this, it was stated that a proposal will be developed by 4 January to include three different trajectories that would identify the impact on the delivery of the Accelerated Progress Plan.
It was confirmed that Zoe Richards was taking the lead on communications and engagement and, in responding to a query, she confirmed that all Clinical Commissioning Groups are involved in the SEND agenda through the Children and Young People's Commissioning Group and there is a SEND Improvement Board for Health, to which all the SEND Commissioners from all the Clinical Commissioning Groups are invited to attend.
Action Four: Transitions in Health Care
In terms of Action Four, the following key messages were noted:
All health care providers have engaged with transition in health care and SEND Improvement Groups had been established in several providers and other providers setting up SEND Improvement Groups, early in the New Year.
The key milestones are all on target and the main risk was the engagement of Adult Services. Data requirements were also identified as a risk but this is being addressed and an update will be provided at the next meeting. It was also noted that the response to the Covid-19 pandemic is a risk in terms of ensuring that everything is in place in the timescales required.
Responding to a concern over the target of achieving the 45% positive feedback from children and young people regarding their transition process, members' were informed that a benchmarking exercise on transition arrangements in health care had taken place prior to the Accelerated Progress Plan (APP) being in place.
Action Five: Local Offer
In terms of Action Five, the following key messages were noted:
The Local Offer Development Officer will take up employment on 4 January. Their role included developing the local offer website and the ways in which local offers are made available across Lancashire.
A soft launch of the local offer directory of service had taken place and a decision to renew the open object software licence had been taken. This would enable the directory to be in place. A feedback form had been uploaded onto the website.
Three of the four milestones were on target, with the directory of services being addressed in the New Year.
Following the presentation, member's requested the following:
The minutes from the SEND Partnership Board be sent around the Committee, as the minutes published to the website were not up-to-date.
The monitoring feedback from the Department of education / NHS England and NHS Improvement (DfE/NHS EI) be seen by the Committee. However, in response to this request, members' were informed that feedback was given both verbally and formally, with formal feedback being received in March and September.
Concerns were also raised the possibilities of equality impact assessments not being undertaken as services evolved. In response, members' were informed that should significant changes to the services take place, equality impact assessments would be carried out by the commissioners, with any major changes being taken through the formal relevant governance processes.
Resolved: That;
i. The progress of the Accelerated Progress Plan (APP) to date on the five areas of concern, including those areas highlighted in 'red' or 'amber, be noted;
ii. That the highlight report be amended to include a key of the colours used for the RAG ratings, a glossary of abbreviations and terms, and a section to identify which key milestones refer to which particular priority;
iii. The report that was sent to the Children and Young People's Commissioning Network, to be circulated to Committee members for their information;
The National Autism Team work streams would be circulated to members of the Committee;
The possibilities of members' being invited to attend the SEND Partnership Board, be investigated; and
The minutes from the previous meetings of the SEND Partnership Board be sent to the Committee.

Q: How can I pin useful images (screenshots, color palettes, cheat-sheets) to the desktop in Windows 7 so they're actually visible? I used to have half-a-dozen sheets of paper pinned up on the wall behind my screen - things like the .NET string format cheat sheet, Powershell quick reference, the hex codes for our corporate colour scheme. Then we moved offices and now I don't have a wall any more, so I want to use my Windows desktop to do the same thing. It's really easy to take a quick glance at the desktop by tapping Win+D twice, so it works fairly well - but it's a bit laborious setting it up!
I've taken to pasting snippets onto my wallpaper using Photoshop, then "re-selecting" the wallpaper image to force Windows to refresh it - which is a bit of a roundabout way of doing it. Desktop gadgets would probably have worked, but since MS deprecated the feature and shut down the gadget gallery, there isn't really a reputable place to find them.
Any ideas? Anything that'll let me pin JPGs and PNGs to my desktop without having to edit my wallpaper every time?

A: Perhaps use a 'Sticky Notes' type utility. The one built into windows 7 doesn't allow pictures, but there are replacements that do.
Here's a couple examples, found via a quick search or two:
Stickies is a sticky notes program that "can store text or images".
It's freeware.

Notezilla allows you to paste images into the stickies.
It's payware, but has a free trial.

Both of these offer "sticky management" and other features beyond what you are requesting (yet may find useful).
I've never personally used either of these. :)

A: The easy way to do this is:

Is there a way to remove dirt ramps if you placed them incorrectly? I've tried the shovel, the hammer and even the road tamper and I can't remove the ramp.
Buggy atm. Use the hammer, but target an area not looking at the ramp, then move to target the ramp as you swing the hammer.
Do you have too much weight on you? You can't pick up anything if that's the case.

The Ethical Life podcast: Unity or accountability, which is more important after an insurrection?
On the fifth episode of "The Ethical Life," Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss the fallout one week after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Topics discussed include:
False information and conspiracy theories were to blame, but what can be done — in both the short and long term — to reduce the chances of violent uprisings like this from happening again?
Would the Republican Party be in a stronger place today had Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in 2016, and is the GOP now at risk of splitting in two?
Many of our elected leaders say this mayhem is not who we are as a country — but is that necessarily true?
Social media was filled with people comparing the violence at the Capitol with the protests around racial justice earlier this summer. Are there any similarities between the two?
Has isolation because of COVID-19 pushed us into an even more polarized society, and can prosperity be dangerous because we don't have a common enemy to bring us together?
Was it right for CEOs of big companies — often in the tech world — to fill the vacuum of leadership at this key moment? And how do we moderate free speech when provocative speech often gets the most attention.
Here's what we've been reading:
Richard's pick: American Airlines is grounding emotional-support animals
Scott's pick: Gene Weingarten: Your call is unimportant to us
Richard Kyte: Truth is only reliable foundation for justice

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne
Architecture and Sciences of the City
Ph.D. On Campus
The Doctoral Program Architecture and Sciences of the City (EDAR) is part of Doctoral School of EPFL (EDOC). It brings together in one doctoral program the world of architecture and that of social sciences concerned with the inhabited space and combines basic and applied research in an interdisciplinary perspective.
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne Multiple locations
Lausanne , Switzerland
16th (QS) World ranking
The EDAR programme is based on two fundamental principles: the strong and varied relationship between basic and applied research and interdisciplinarity.
The link between theory and practice enables students to treat the project – regardless of its subject (architecture, urbanism, spatial development) and its actors (from individual residents to the local community as a whole) – both as an object of study and as a research challenge. Today, reflexivity on action proves to be indissociable from action itself; if this is disregarded, the result is very likely to be inefficiency and failure. An approach to the great theoretical and epistemological questions is therefore of crucial necessity for everyone. This method is intended to enable students to master the dual complexity of intellectual construction and of situative action in one single movement. This is the challenge that the EDAR programme helps its doctoral students to take up.
Interdisciplinarity as conceived of in the EDAR programme is multidimensional. It is situated inside architecture (history, theory, projects) and in the urban sciences (geography, urban sociology, environmental economics, housing and networking, urbanism and spatial planning), but also between the two fields in that it is based on the role of a mediator between the problems of the city, of mobility, of space, and of inhabiting it. Finally, the openness of the EDAR programme to mathematics, the sciences of matter and life and the science of engineering is part of its essential choice. The programme also maintains particularly close relations with the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC), which regards interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity as fundamental and is the origin of a large part of the faculty and doctoral students of EDAR.
I want to find another Phd Course
Sciences of the City:
The research area of Sciences of the City is aimed at students of social sciences (Sociology, Geography, Economics, Political science, Anthropology, History), but also architects and engineers wishing to pursue a thesis on urbanization, urbanity, mobility and habitat.
It concerns primarily an understanding of the contemporary urban world in all its aspects as a fundamental dimension of inhabiting and even more generally, of social life. This requires a reflection on epistemological and theoretical tools that allow thinking of space of societies, fixed and mobile lifestyles and urbanization as long-term historical process.

Q: Does an empty string make sense as DOCTYPE path? I found the following in an XML file provided for processing:
<!DOCTYPE exchange_rates SYSTEM "">
The empty string doesn't make any sense to me and I can not find any such discussion about it online. If I use online validators, they all don't produce even a warning for that, nor if I put any garbage between the quotes for that matter, so they don't help me in finding out if this declaration is invalid or not. If it is valid, how is this XML file supposed to be validated?

A: That DOCTYPE declaration is indeed valid. To know this for sure you can look in the spec...
In the Prolog section you will find the model for the DOCTYPE declaration (doctypedecl):

If you then look at ExternalID:

you'll see that SYSTEM is followed by SystemLiteral:

which shows that the quotes can be empty.

If it is valid, how is this XML file supposed to be validated?

Since the DOCTYPE has an empty SYSTEM identifier and there's no PUBLIC identifier that would allow you to map to a SYSTEM identifier, there's no way to programmatically know what DTD to validate against.
The only way to validate this XML against a DTD is for you to know what DTD it should validate against in advance and whatever you're using to validate allows you to specify the DTD separate from the DOCTYPE declaration. (For example, by using the --dtdvalid arg with xmllint.)


A security officer holding a shield and baton guards a security post leading into a center believed to be used for re-education in Korla, Nov. 2, 2017.
Beginning in April 2017, Uyghurs accused of harboring "strong religious views" and "politically incorrect" ideas have been jailed or detained in re-education camps throughout northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), where members of the ethnic group have long complained of pervasive discrimination, religious repression, and cultural suppression under Chinese rule. Sources say detainees routinely face rough treatment at the hands of their overseers in the camps and endure poor diets and unhygienic conditions in the often overcrowded facilities. China's ambassador in Washington, Cui Tiankai, told National Public Radio in an interview broadcast Oct. 4 that the facilities represented "efforts to help people to learn skills, techniques to build up their economic capability." An officer at a police station in Kashgar (in Chinese, Kashi) prefecture recently told RFA's Uyghur Service about the conditions at a camp where he worked as a guard for 10 months. In the first part of an interview, the officer—who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal—detailed the layout of the camp, the daily routine of the detainees, and the punishments they were subjected to if they did not obey the rules.
RFA: Can you describe the re-education camp you worked at?
Officer: It was comprised of three buildings when I was there, but I heard it has been extended to seven. All the buildings are the same height at five floors … The offices are all on the ground floor and detainees are housed on the remaining four floors.
RFA: How many detainees live on each floor?
Officer: When I was there, on the second floor [of my building] there were 16 dorm rooms [for detainees], four classrooms, two meeting halls, one dorm room for the police, and one for cadres [teachers]. There were approximately 10-14 detainees in each dorm room … [There were] two police officers and 10 security officers [on each floor].
RFA: You said there are 10-14 detainees in each dorm room, so that means there were around 200 detainees on each floor. In total, there were approximately 800 detainees, and more than 50 police officers in each building?
Officer: Yes. When I was there, there were 234 police officers working at the re-education camp.
RFA: How many hours of lessons do [the detainees] have each day?
Officer: Four hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon.
RFA: How long is the lunch break?
RFA: Do they have a break during their four-hour lesson?
RFA: Do the teachers change during the four-hour lesson?
Officer: Yes … every hour. In the morning [the detainees] study the official language (Mandarin), and civil law and regulations, while in the afternoon they discuss their own problems. "For such-and-such a reason, I am here receiving re-education." Teachers then offer psychological correction.
RFA: So in the afternoon they confess what they have done?
RFA: When [the detainees] sit together, are they allowed to talk to one another?
Officer: No, they are not allowed to talk.
RFA: What about when they are in their dorm rooms?
Officer: They are under constant surveillance. We watch them via closed-circuit cameras, with two in each room.
RFA: So if they speak, what is the punishment they receive?
Officer: [Usually] we give them a warning first, but then order them to stand for between 15 minutes to half an hour … If two people speak with one another, we call them out to ask them separately what they said. Depending on what was said, we decide how to discipline them. If they were protesting against our rules, planning an escape, or considering suicide, we would report the incident to the higher authorities, who would take the necessary action. On camera we can't hear what they say.
RFA: Are there any strict requirements regarding the positioning of detainees' hands when in class or in the dorm rooms?
Officer: When they are in class, their hands must be placed on their desks. When in the dorm rooms, they must place their hands on their knees … or on their notebooks.
RFA: In the dorm rooms, do they have tables or desks to write on?
Officer: No. They have to place their notebooks on their knees to read or write.
RFA: What would happen if their hands are in their pockets or at their sides?
Officer: We give them a warning before ordering them to stand as punishment.
Reported by Shohret Hoshur and translated by RFA's Uyghur Service.
To compare Ughurs to al-Qaeda terrorists sohe sort of misses the point. One group are suspected of terrorists, the other of being of an ethnicity different to the occupying power in an occupied country.
Both are wrong, but one is far more serious and widespread.
Anonymous Reader: I hardly think that is a valid comparison.
Brian, I forgot the Americans enjoy exceptionalism and no Americans can be tried in the ICC (International Criminal Court) according to Bolton. You happy now?
From the interview it sounds like the detainees were not treated too badly unlike those in Guantanamo. Well, at least they were not beaten but taught skills.
The ill treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo does not excuse the ill treatment of Uyghurs - Both are egregious crimes.


Stretching across to Lake Victoria, the Western Corridor (or West Serengeti) is a remote, little-visited area of the national park famed for the thrilling river crossings of the Grumeti River during the Great Migration between May and July. A huge valley bordered by hills that ends in Lake Victoria, the Western Corridor is made up of open savanna, woodlands, floodplains and riverine forest which are home to a great diversity of year-round wildlife, including elephant, giraffe, hippo, giant Nile crocodiles, rare Colobus monkeys and the localised kongoni antelope.
Flanking the Western Corridor is the unfenced Grumeti Game Reserve, a 138 000-hectare private concession which serves as a wildlife corridor for the animals making the migration between the Masai Mara and the Serengeti in June and July. The concession not only offers superb migration sightings with few other vehicles around but also lush, green landscapes of woodlands, rivers and rolling hills, as well as year-round leopard and lion populations.
Seeing the enormous herds of the Great Migration making crossings of the Grumeti in June and July is an excellent reason to visit this part of the Serengeti. While these river crossings are less well known than the Mara River crossings to the north – where the river is more dangerous, wider and has more viewing points – the Grumeti River, which is the first big obstacle for the herds to tackle, still offers some exciting sightings, with the added benefit of fewer tourists at the crossing points.
There are only a few places where you can do walking safaris in the Serengeti, which makes the walking safaris offered in the Grumeti Game Reserve particularly special. Spend hours on foot in the bush with a guide, not only tracking animals and learning about birds and insects, but also discovering fascinating medicinal and cultural uses for indigenous plants.
Visit a local Maasai community to see how people from the tribe live on the edges of the Grumeti Reserve. You'll get to meet with subsistence farmers and their families and learn about what daily life is like – such as how villagers need to invent non-invasive ways to prevent elephants from trampling their crops.
Hot air ballooning is offered seasonally (from the beginning of June to the end of August) in the Western Corridor. A magical sunrise flight in a gently gliding balloon is an unforgettable way to see the Serengeti's spectacular landscapes and wildlife from a bird's eye perspective.
Budget travellers are best off staying in the Central Serengeti, as the Western Corridor and the Grumeti are more geared towards higher end travellers, however there is a campsite located at a lodge near the Ndabaka entrance gate, and a public campsite at the gate itself. Mid-range options in the sector include camps located just outside the park boundaries, while the region is most famous for its superb, intimate luxury lodges and mobile camps – some of which are completely exclusive.
June and July are the most popular times to visit the Western Corridor and the Grumeti to see the Grumeti River crossings and the herds on the move, but September and October are also great months to see the remaining herds of zebra and wildebeest, along with other resident wildlife such as elephant, leopard and lion. If you're travelling during June and July, you'll need to reserve lodging far in advance, as there aren't many places to stay in the region.
Many people choose to fly into their lodge or camp's private airstrip. Self-drivers hiring a car should pick up their vehicle and supplies from Mwanza, which is just over 130 kilometres from the Ndabaka Gate.

Revealed Who won Britain's Got Talent 2019
News / By Editor
Colin Thackery was crowned the winner of Britain's Got Talent this evening.
The much-loved Chelsea pensioner, 89, was favourite to win the competition and wowed viewers with his tear-jerker performance during tonight's finale.
He will now be able to live his dream of performing in front of the Royal Family after serving in the military for 25 years.
He managed to beat the other 10 acts to win £250,000 and bag a spot on the Royal Variety Performance.
Following his performance, Simon Cowell said: "It's not just about the talent, it's about the people… you have my utmost respect, I salute you."
Asked what it would be like to win the competition, he said: "I served my Queen for 25 years and to think I'd sing to her would be amazing… I could die happy."

Q: soap lite pass string argument I have a problem passing a string argument using Perl. The following code
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use SOAP::Lite;
my $service = SOAP::Lite->service('http://localhost:8080/greeting?wsdl');
print $service->greetClient('perl wooooo'), "\n";

Results in

Greeting null! Have a nice day...

A similar python code
from suds.client import Client
client = Client('http://localhost:8080/greeting?wsdl')
print client.service.greetClient('python wooooo')

works perfectly

Greeting python wooooo! Have a nice day...

I tried to set different encodings
print $service->encoding('utf-8')->greetClient("perl wooooo"), "\n";

with the same result.
A SOAP Monitor shows that there is no arg0 in a case of Perl
<greetClient xsi:nil="true"  xsi:type="tns:greetClient" />

which is present in a case of Python
<ns0:greetClient>
  <arg0>python wooooo</arg0>
</ns0:greetClient>

What can be a problem?
Why it's so complicated to implement a SOAP client with Perl compared to Python?
EDIT:
SOLUTION
Finally the following solution is working
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Compile::SOAP11;
use XML::Compile::WSDL11;
use XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP;

my $soap = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new('c:/temp/greeting.wsdl');
my $call = $soap->compileClient('greetClient');
print $call->(arg0 => 'perl wooooo'){'greetClientResponse'}{'return'}, "\n";

A: SOAP::Lite can be infuriatingly bad. You might give XML::Compile::SOAP a try:
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Compile::SOAP11;
use XML::Compile::WSDL11;
use XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP;

my $soap = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new(
    'http://localhost:8080/greeting?wsdl',
    schema_dirs => [
        'c:/soft/Perl/site/lib/XML/Compile/SOAP11/xsd'
        'c:/soft/Perl/site/lib/XML/Compile/XOP/xsd'
        'c:/soft/Perl/site/lib/XML/Compile/xsd'
    ]
);
$soap->compileCalls;
my ( $response, $trace ) = $soap->call( 'greetClient', arg0 => 'perl wooooo' );
$trace->printResponse;

$response will be the call response converted to a hashref via XML::Simple, which may be all you need. The $trace object is handy to see what the raw XML response looks like.

A: Unfortunately, I can't see your WSDL.
But in regards to SOAP::Lite, I don't see you setting up neither a proxy (endpoint) nor an uri.
You're also probably going to have to change the on_action behavior as well. By default, SOAP::Lite wants to use the '#' concatenation.
So something along these lines might work.
$service->proxy( $uri_of_my_end_point );
$service->uri( $schema_namespace );
$service->on_action( sub {
    my ( $uri, $method ) = @_;
    my $slash = $uri =~ m{/$} ? '' : '/';
    return qq{"$uri$slash$method"};
});

If you haven't already read Chapter 6, please do so before reading this one because it provides a great introduction to some of the basics of Swift. This chapter builds on that foundation. By the end of this chapter, you can expect to have a greater understanding of the Swift language and how to use the basics to write simple programs. The best way to learn is to take small programs and write (or rewrite) them in Swift just to see how the language works.

Most And Least Talkative MPs Announced - The Reykjavik Grapevine
Most And Least Talkative MPs Announced
Paul Fontaine
@pauldfontaine
The members of parliament who spoke the most and the least have been announced, and as per usual, the differences between the opposition and the ruling coalition are distinct.
For the previous parliamentary year, 167 sessions were held lasting a total of about 800 hours.
Of those hours, the conservatives dominated. Coming out on the number one spot was Pétur H. Blöndal from the Independence Party. He spoke a total of 35 hours, in the form of 194 speeches and 636 comments.
In the second and third position were two other conservatives: Ásbjörn Óttarsson (28 hours) and Birgir Ármannsson (23 hours). In fact, the entire top ten is comprised of conservatives, with the exception of two Progressives.
Meanwhile, among those who spoke the least, Leftist-Green MP Þráinn Bertelsson led the pack, being the only member of parliament who clocked in at less than two hours behind the podium, at 109 minutes. Among the top ten MPs who spoke the least, they are almost all comprised of members of the ruling coalition, with the exception of Birgitta Jónsdóttir of The Movement.
Reacting to the news on Facebook, Þráinn said, "A question of quantity or quality," believing that many MPs waste parliament's time and show voters disrespect with "poorly-thought blather."

PopCap has denied a Wall Street Journal report that Bejeweled 2 for the iPhone violates user privacy, calling it "misleading and confusing."
The Wall Street Journal published a report last week claiming that many of the most popular apps on the iPhone and Android, including hit games like Angry Birds and Bejeweled 2, broadcast private user information like user name and password, location and mobile number to the app maker or, in many cases, third-party advertisers. Rovio, the studio behind Angry Birds, quickly denied the charge and now casual game behemoth PopCap has joined suit.
"Recent reports on user data and transmissions to third parties for a variety of iPhone applications have been misleading and possibly confusing for PopCap customers," PopCap's Head of Studios Ed Allard told Develop. He explained that the game transmits user name and password only after owners link the game to their Facebook account, and mobile number only if users set up their Facebook account to authenticate with it.
"The transmission of user name, password and phone number is optional and occurs only after explicit player input through a Facebook login dialog box for Blitz mode," Allard said. "After logging in to Facebook, players can interact with their Facebook account through Bejeweled 2 on their iPhone."
Concerns over privacy on Facebook have been kicking around for years and flared up most recently in October, when the Wall Street Journal revealed that several popular apps, including games like FarmVille, FrontierVille and Texas Hold 'Em Poker were transmitting identifiable user information to online advertisers and data trackers.


All About Sathya Sai Baba.
Born "Sathya Narayana Raju" 1926, Sathya Sai Baba is a popular Indian guru who has millions of followers and hundreds of Sathya Sai Centers in over a hundred countries. Satya Sai Baba was born to a poor agrarian family, as the son of Pedavenkappa Raju and Easwaramma. Being born after the Sri Sathyanarayana Puja, the child was aptly named after the puja's presiding deity, Sathyanarayana. It was reported that when he was born, musical instruments in the household started creating playing music on their own. On May 23rd 1940, when he was fourteen, he claimed to be the reincarnation of the fakir Shirdi Sai Baba and subsequently took the fakir's name. He says that he is an avatar (incarnation) of Shiva and Shakti and an embodiment of love with divine powers such as omniscience and omnipresence.
At the age of 14, Sathya Sai Baba declared to his parents that he had come to this world with a mission to re-establish the principle of Righteousness, to motivate love for God and service to fellow man. Since then, he has consistently called on all mankind to Love All, Serve All and has repeatedly asserted that the essence of all scriptures is Help Ever, Hurt Never! He has followers in over a 100 countries that are represented in world-wide conferences. His followers are estimated to be around 10 million. The once rural hamlet of Puttaparthi has been transformed into a thriving international city where thousands flock to see the Guru.
It is said that the Sathya was a child prodigy, one who composed bhajans (devotional songs) spontaneously. The simple village folk marvelled at the child's gifts, calling him Biddalaguru (child-guru) and Brahmajnani (knowing universal truths). There were other qualities too in the child that captivated people -- his sunny temperament, generous and loving nature and kindness to creatures great and small.
Sathya went to school at Puttaparthi, Bukkapatnam (a couple of miles away) and Kamalapuram in Cuddapah district. Later, he went to a high school in Uravakonda (in Anantapur district), where his elder brother was a teacher.
Even as a child Sathya was already manifesting extraordinary powers -- plucking things out of the thin air, on one occasion even transfixing a scolding teacher to his chair! The smiling, frizzy-haired lad was half-prankster and half-conjurer in his schoolmates' eyes. He was bright, showing flair not only for academics, but also music, dance and drama.
Sathya Sai Baba urges mankind to: Believe in God --for there is only ONE GOD for all mankind, though He may be called by many names. Follow sincerely their own respective religions and live their daily lives in consonance with the teachings of good behavior and morality. Respect all other religions --for no religion advocates the negative and lower qualities of man. Perform selfless service to the poor, the sick, and the needy without thought of reward or fame. Cultivate in their lives the values of truth, divine love, right conduct, peace, and nonviolence and promote these values among all. Be patriotic and respect the laws of the country in which they live.
He is said to manifest vibuthi (holy ash) and small objects like rings and watches daily. He claims to materialize these objects out of nothing. These claims are believed and testified to by his followers. Sacred ash, amrit (honey), kumkum, sandle paste, fragrances, flowers and even letters are reported as materializing from his pictures all around the world. In addition, the followers, and even many non-followers, have testified about many miracles and cures performed by him. He preaches a foundation of five basic values: Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-violence. He teaches the unity of all major world religions and says that they all lead to God. His followers and the organizations that he has founded are involved in many charity projects, providing free modern hospitals and water projects serving thousands in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and the city of Chennai (Madras). In his ashram and around it there are various buildings including a University and a World Religions Museum. He has founded schools all over India and his "values-teaching methods" are slowly being implemented in other countries.
His mission was further clarified in a letter he wrote to his brother in 1947, stating, in part, "I have a task to foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives full of bliss. I have a vow: To lead all who stray away from the straight path again into goodness and save them. I am attached to a work that I love: To remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack."

When exactly is the best time to take your creatine powder? Here we cover all the options and lay out for you the optimal times for supplementation.
Should you even take creatine? If you exercise competitively, you probably should.
Take it from us – no matter what anyone says, creatine is no joke. It works, it's safe, it rapidly increases your strength, and a lot more people should be taking it.
But you already know this. After all, you're looking for the best time to be taking your creatine!
Below we've ranked the 5 best times to take your creatine. We were surprised by how little actual clinical research exists on this topic… So bear with us as we make conclusions based on both research and personal experience combined.
According to the most relevant research, taking 5 grams creatine monohydrate both pre and post workout is the most effective way to utilize creatine for strength and muscle gains.
We learned about this method thanks to Jim Stoppani, and you can read his overview of the study here.
But what caught our attention, as well as Jim's – is that during this study, participants were also taking carbohydrates and protein WITH their creatine pre and post workout.
This adds another variable to the equation – does protein and carbohydrates enhance the uptake of creatine?
The answer is an astounding yes, and we've known it since this 1996 study!
So, with that being said… The current research says that taking creatine both pre and post workout is the most effective method. However, we believe that the reason doing so produced such great results, was because participants were also taking protein and carbohydrates, which, elevated insulin enough to make creatine uptake significantly more effective.
This has got to be our personal favorite time to take creatine – after your workout.
For these reasons, it seems logical, and has been producing really good results. Likewise, it reduces any gastrointestinal issues that can arise from taking creatine alongside your stimulant-rich pre workout supplement.
So then, when do you take creatine on days that you don't work out? Should you still take it? Yes. We take it typically with the first meal of the day.
This is one of the easiest ways to consistently take creatine. Either take it with breakfast, or with your first meal of the day if you practice intermittent fasting (which works).
For these reasons, creatine with your first meal of the day is a reasonable and effective time.
Pre workout is inevitably when the majority of people take their creatine. However, we are not firm believers.
You take a stimulant-free pre workout supplement.
And the issue with mixing your high-stimulant pre workout with creatine is that, it irritates your GI. When you irritate your GI, you're not going to take in creatine very well. Even worse, you may be compromising the uptake of nutrients for hours.
However, for many of you as well – taking 5 grams of creatine monohydrate on-top of your Jekyll and Hyde pre workout stack is the short-cut to disaster pants.
Lastly, is taking creatine in the intra-workout window. We do not view this as a feasible time to be taking creatine at all.
First, it takes time to uptake, so you are probably not going to feel its benefits during your actual lift.
Second, creatine throws off water balance. Once you take it, this will draw water from your muscles into your intestines/blood… Which is bad for performance.
And lastly, intra-workout really isn't the time to be eating unless you are in some form of long-duration endurance exercise. But even then, taking something that effects water balance may not be the best of ideas.
All in all, the top 3 times we specified for you to take your creatine are the most valid options. Do you HAVE to choose #1 because it's #1? No, your lifestyle/body may be better off with #2 or #3. Feel it out, and find what works best for you.
So, what creatine should I be taking? You can see our preferred creatine supplements here.
Do these rules apply to all types of creatine?
These recommendations are mainly for creatine monohydrate. If you are taking something like creatine HCL, then you have more leniency and can probably get away with more pre-workout usage.
How much Creatine Should I be Taking?
For the #1 pre and post creatine recommendation, that was 5 grams before and 5 grams after. However, most research says that 5 grams total per day is perfect. So, for any other time, just take 5 grams. If you are taking creatine HCL, cut the dosage in half.
Remember what we learned from #1's study… Taking creatine with food is way, way better than taking it on an empty stomach. So, if you want to instantly improve the results you get from creatine, begin taking it alongside some food that will stimulate a good insulin response.

As you can see, many of these causes are found in the home. So how can we do a better job fighting asthma in our indoor environments?
– Vacuum frequently; use a cylinder vacuum instead of an upright model. Using a HEPA, or high efficiency particulate air, vacuum is optimum. These vacuums are equipped with high-spec pre-filter and filter systems; they are sealed, allergen-free and designed to remove and trap allergens such as bacteria and mold-filled dust that normal vacuums can't.
– Clean carpeting and drapes regularly. Carpet is a huge hideout for asthma allergens, harboring dust mites and pet dander–the two most common triggers of childhood asthma.
– Replace carpeting with non-fibrous flooring, such as tile or hardwood, particularly in the bedroom.
– Replace feather pillows and down comforters with those containing synthetic fibers; use a plastic mattress cover.
– Wash bedding in hot water (130 degrees Fahrenheit) to kill dust mites and remove allergens. Alternately, you can place bedding in an airtight container for 48 hours.
– Place stuffed toys in the freezer for 24 hours or in an airtight container for 48 hours to kill dust mites.
– Wear a scarf over your nose and mouth in cold weather.
– Monitor the pollen count in spring, summer and fall; avoid open fields when pollen counts are high.
– Always keep your medication with you in case of an attack.
– Use an HEPA air filter. They feature a minimum particle removal efficiency of 99.97% for all particles 0.3 microns in diameter and larger. This size covers most pollen, mold spores, animal hair and dander, dust mites, bacteria, smoke particles and dust.
– Use an air purifier. They are classified according to the technology they utilize to remove different-sized particles from the air. Certain models use a chemical process, such as ozonization, to purify the air.
– Install a large room unit air purifier. These air purifiers utilize strong filters or collecting plates; some large units use electrostatic precipitation. These purifiers are highly effective at removing pollutants, particularly smoke and dirt, from large areas. They are more effective as single room units than as fixed central air filters.
– Install air filters. The efficiency of different models is measured by the size of particles they can remove from the air. They are classified in two categories: central filtration, or induct, systems and portable units with fan attachments. Central filtration systems are installed in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Asthmatics should choose a HEPA filter that can trap very small and very large particles.
– Use a tabletop air purifier. These models are equipped with small panels of dry, loosely packed, low-density fiber filters and a high-velocity fan. Although these models are fairly inexpensive, be sure that the specifications match your requirements to remove very small particles from the air that can trigger asthma attacks.

Plenty of companies claim to have products that will help you lose weight while staying healthy and full, but not all of them actually meet this goal.

Isagenix, a multilevel marketing company, offers a variety of shakes, including IsaLean bars, snacks and supplements packed with protein and other nutrients, in an effort to aid in weight loss. It also features 30- and nine-day cleanses. However, reviews of Isagenix products are mixed.
Isagenix Products
Isagenix manufacturers a wide variety of products, including bars, shakes, snacks, supplements and powders, that are designed for specific purposes, such as weight loss or energy. Many of these products are offered in bundles called "paks" or "systems," most notably a 30-day system and a nine-day system.
IsaLean shakes come in standard, kosher and dairy-free varieties as well as in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, vanilla chai and strawberry cream. The shakes contain 24 to 36 grams of protein and a balance of carbohydrates, fat and fiber.
Isagenix's beverages come in both liquid and powder form, depending on the product. Some of the company's most popular include:
Isagenix Supreme
AMPED Hydrate
Offerings from Isagenix's include meal-replacement bars, snacks and sweet treats that are fortified with nutrients.
IsaLean Bar: a meal replacement bar with 18 to 19 grams of protein, depending on the flavor
IsaDelight: chocolate that's been fortified with antioxidants and green tea extract
Harvest Thins: vegetarian snacks with 11 grams of pea protein and 100 calories per serving
IsaOmega Supreme: mostly omega-3 fatty acids designed to promote heart, joint and brain health
Complete Essentials: a daily multivitamin that is taken in both the morning and evening
IsaPro: whey protein powder that contains 18 grams protein per serving
CytoActives: a supplement that contains the antioxidant resveratrol, CoQ10 and tocotrienols
Boosters: Heart Booster and Immune Booster powders can be added to shakes for extra nutrients
Does Isagenix Work?
Isagenix sponsored a study of its products carried out by the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2012 and found that individuals using Isagenix products successfully lost weight and body fat, according to the clinical summary.
However, Harriet Hall, M.D., on Science-Based Medicine wrote that the products hadn't been subject to clinical testing and the study methodology was not sound.
While there are no other peer-reviewed studies of Isagenix specifically, a number of researchers have studied the impact of meal-replacement diets on weight loss and other health indicators.
In 2017, the British Journal of Nutrition published a study that looked at the effect of high-protein meal replacements on weight and metabolic, lipid and inflammatory panels, finding that using HPMRs can lead to both significant weight loss and improvement in all three parameters. However, other studies have found that evidence linking meal replacements to weight loss is inconclusive.
All in all, weight loss comes down to eating less and moving more. Nothing is a magic potion for losing weight, but if meal replacements can help you eat fewer calories, they could be an aid in shedding pounds — with the caveat that you should still be eating nutritious foods, such as fresh produce and lean protein, at other meals.

Isagenix Side Effects
A significant drawback to using meal-replacement products like Isagenix is that you don't learn how to eat properly and in moderation. Therefore, there's a risk that you'll regain the weight lost when you return to your regular eating plan.
Additionally, a low-calorie diet — which often occurs on a meal-replacement diet — can lead to decreased nutrient intake, long-term metabolic depression and health risks like gallstones, constipation and fatigue, according to the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
Isagenix Reviews
Reviews on Isagenix products are mixed, with a number of them leaning toward the negative. A review published on HESCA.org gave Isagenix products a 3.8 out of 5, noting they're fairly high in fiber and protein, which can help a person feel full longer, but they're also high in sugar, which is detrimental to weight loss and some health conditions.
Other reviews noted the cost of Isagenix, including one from Diets in Review that determined the price of IsaLean shakes are significantly higher than the average meal-replacement shake. The same review said the lower quality of ingredients in IsaLean means that it may not be worth the cost.
Despite the reviews, health website Diet Insight gives Isagenix a 4 out of 5 for safety. Unless you have sugar problems or other chronic health disorders, it says, the products are safe for short-term use.
Best Weight-Loss Shakes
When it comes down to it, the best weight-loss shake will depend on a person's preference as well as how well someone adheres to their proper use. When looking for a weight-loss shake, Wendy Bazilian, Ph.D., RD, told Prevention magazine that the product should have between 325 and 400 calories, 15 to 25 grams of protein, at least five grams of fiber and around 10 to 13 grams of healthy fats.
Two scoops of Vega One All-in-One Shake — which Diets in Review named as one of its top weight-loss shake for 2018 — fits that bill. Although Premier Protein shakes don't quite meet Bazilian's requirements, they're one of the top sellers on Amazon and contain 30 grams of protein and just one gram of sugar per shake.
Rather than purchase a commercial weight-loss shake, you can make your own at home. This option is often cheaper and healthier because it uses whole, nutritious foods that you can purchase at local stores.
Blueberry and Orange Creamsicle Smoothie: This shake uses nut butter, cottage cheese and yogurt for a healthy dose of protein.
Build-Your-Own Smoothie: Pick one or two ingredients from each category to create a favorite protein shake.
Low-Carb Protein Shake: If you're cutting back on carbs, blend up a shake that won't put you over your macronutrient goal.

Former President George W. Bush plans to address a group committed to converting Jews to Christianity.
Bush's plans to address Messianic Jewish group irks former aides
By Jessica Ravitz, CNN
[twitter-follow screen_name='JRavitzCNN']
(CNN) - Of course Tevi Troy has heard the hubbub.
He knows full well that his onetime boss, former President George W. Bush, plans to speak Thursday at a Dallas fundraiser for the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute – a group dedicated to converting Jews to Christianity.
"I have yet to meet a Jewish person who hasn't heard about this," says Troy, who served as a Bush administration liaison to the Jewish community and was a former deputy secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The topic of conversion can prompt a visceral reaction for Jews whose darker times have been marred by persecution, expulsion and forced conversions. Millions have died for and because of their faith.
"There's good historical reason for the Jewish discomfort," Troy says.
But before Troy, an Orthodox Jew, will tread into this controversy, he wants to discuss the Jewish value of hakarat hatov, or "recognizing the good."
He says people should remember and appreciate that Bush was "a very good president to the Jewish people."
He was a friend to Israel during the Second Intifada, Troy says. He was an outspoken opponent of anti-Semitism. And in the wake of the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl by al Qaeda in Pakistan in 2002, when Jews felt like targets, Troy says Bush took on terrorism.
That said, when it comes to Bush's decision to speak at the annual banquet for this messianic group, one that believes Jews like this former aide need to be saved, Troy admits, "I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed."
CNN tried to speak with five other former Bush administration liaisons to the Jewish community, but only two of those responded. Both suggested Troy could speak for them, too.
His words, though, are tempered. Others, such as Rabbi David Wolpe, who was dubbed America's most influential rabbi by Newsweek in 2012, called Bush's decision "infuriating."
The Messianic Jewish Bible Institute is representative of a longstanding effort to convert Jews, one that dates back to Paul in the New Testament who said, in Romans 1:16, that the Gospel should be taken "to the Jew first."
The institute's website features a menorah in its logo. Its chairman is listed as Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, a man who heads up another organization called Jewish Voice Ministries International, where an "Ask the Rabbi" feature includes an image of him wearing a yarmulke and Jewish prayer shawl.
CNN reached out to Bernis at Jewish Voice Ministries but was told by a spokeswoman that he was not allowed to comment on the upcoming fundraiser.
Then CNN asked where he had been ordained as a rabbi, and the spokeswoman hung up the phone.
We also called the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute, which pulled down from its website any references to Bush's upcoming appearance soon after Mother Jones broke the story. An institute spokeswoman said there would be no comment.
A source close to Bush, who didn't want to be named, confirmed to CNN on Wednesday afternoon that the former president still plans to speak at Thursday's banquet, where tickets reportedly range in price from $100 to $100,000.
The source also said that Bush addresses all sorts of groups, secular and religious of varying stripes. Bush tells stories from the White House and speaks about his love for America, which includes a commitment to religious freedom and tolerance, according to the source.
Had Bush's onetime liaison to the Jewish community still been working with the former president or been asked, Troy said he certainly would have advised against such an appearance.
Troy says the problem is most people don't understand why talk of converting Jews stirs up such strong feelings in the Jewish community.
"It dates back to a time when forced conversion was a serious issue, when the church was imbued with the power of state," he says.
Troy points to the Spanish Inquisition as an example, explaining how under duress and torture, Jews had to convert to Christianity or face expulsion from Spain in 1492. Those who stayed and exhibited any shred of Jewish observance were persecuted.
The Messianic Jewish Bible Institute, founded in the mid-1990s, includes in its mission the goal to "educate Christians in their role to provoke the Jewish people to jealousy and thus save some of them."
The institute's statement of faith also says that those who are born Jewish and "place their faith in Messiah Yeshua," Jesus, "have not disowned or separated themselves from their race and Judaic heritage, but remain sons and daughters of Israel."
Missionary outreach to Jews in America isn't new. It dates back to the 19th century. A Hungarian man who called himself a "rabbi" established a ministry in 1894 to target Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, offering them assistance, education and New Testaments translated into Yiddish.
On the opposite coast in San Francisco in 1973, a Baptist minister - who was born Jewish - founded a proselytizing organization called Jews for Jesus. His small army has been knocking on doors and pounding the pavement ever since.
A less aggressive approach, preferred by others who might call themselves Messianic Jews or Hebrew Christians, has been the establishment of Messianic "synagogues" and organizations. They're sponsored by Christians, and they incorporate Jewish symbols and modified Jewish rituals. They're often led by leaders who call themselves rabbis, use Hebrew phrases and wear traditional Jewish accessories.
Critics cry false advertising, subterfuge and bemoan how such outfits, including the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute, which built its base in the former Soviet Union, often target Jews who don't know better – what Rob Eshman of the Jewish Journal in Los Angeles called, "the low-hanging fruit of Jewish identity."
While Messianic Jews believe it's possible to be Jewish while believing Jesus is the Messiah, others say this makes as much sense as a vegetarian who believes in scarfing down steak.
The historical concern may have been rooted in forced conversions, but Troy knows that's not an issue today.
In fact, the group Bush will address - and others like it - don't really worry him. He's more concerned about a recent Pew study that showed how a growing number of American Jews don't identify with any faith, let alone their own.
About a third of American Jews born after 2000 answered "none" when asked about their religious affiliation, the survey showed. Of everyone surveyed who was raised Jewish, according to the researchers, 6% now describe themselves as Christian - mostly as Catholics, Protestants or "just Christian."
Messianic Jews, Pew said, constitute a very small group. Meantime, though, the Pew survey also showed that 34% of those asked believe a person can be Jewish and believe Jesus was the messiah.
But the fundraiser in Dallas, even if it features the likes of a former U.S. president, isn't what's hurting American Jews, Troy says.
"Judaism," he says, "has other and bigger problems."

Reality # 2
Only for the newbies:
From the topic: "Others, such as Rabbi David Wolpe, who was dubbed America's most influential rabbi by Newsweek in 2012, called Bush's decision "infuriating."
Rabbi Wolpe is also notable in his conclusions that Abraham and Moses are fictional characters and that Exodus never happened.
Said conclusions are significantly more damaging to Judaism than is President Bush's speech at a Messianic convention !!

George W. Bush's greatest legacy
By Eugene Robinson,July 26, 2012- Washington Post
"This is a moment for all Americans to be proud of the best thing George W. Bush did as president: launching an initiative to combat AIDS in Africa that has saved millions of lives.
All week, more than 20,000 delegates from around the world have been attending the 19th International AIDS Conference here in Washington. They look like any other group of conventioneers, laden with satchels and garlanded with name tags. But some of these men and women would be dead if not for Bush's foresight and compassion."
You see this as a negative?
Absolutely not. It was noted as to counter all the negativity about President Bush.
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." –Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005
"For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it." –Philadelphia, Penn., May 14, 2001
Not only was bush a terrible president he also spent the most time on vacation than any sitting president EVER. That means that he ruined our country more in less time than anyone.
Atheism has ruined this country even more.
could you be a bit more specific, L?
Yes, and not collecting stamps has ruined the United States Postal Service.
In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response ...
