Better known for its natural disasters globally, Bangladesh still stands fifth among the top disaster risk countries in the world. It is difficult to think when our neighboring countries take various initiatives to make their people more aware to protect the natural environment, to ensure a suitable living environment for themselves and their future generations. Here we cannot strengthen our position due to lack of apathy and ability of the authorities. It a serious threat for us as well as the future generations to come. The lack of modern tools needed to prevent the disaster, the lack of experienced and skilled manpower, neglect and the absence of environmental protection, the mismanagement and failure of the concerned people, the necessary environmental knowledge, the lack of training and programs, environmental research, and the need to make people more aware is endangering.
The amount of carbon dioxide deposited in the world's atmosphere in 2016 is the highest of eight million years and 50 percent more than the average of the last 10 years. The information provided by the World Meteorological Agency (WMO) WMO has made the report by analysing data-data from carbon emissions in 51 countries of the world. According to World Bank's 2015 Global Carbon Atlas report, 36 thousand 262 tons of carbon emissions occur in the world in that year. Of these, China has the highest 10 thousand 357 tones, USA 5,441 tones and India 2,274 tons of carbon emissions. The amount of carbon emitted in Bangladesh was only 77 tones (The Daily Prothom-Alo, 31 October, 17). But natural disasters like climate change, storm surge, flood, drought etc. are more damaging to developing countries like Bangladesh.
The Paris Convention signed in the United Nations Climate Conference held in Geneva last November, many studies, proposals, committees, sub-committees, hackers will be implemented, but in reality what will be the implementation of the Paris Treaty? That is, by 2020, the world's temperature does not exceed 2 degrees Celsius may be only in suggestion and in dreams. Because industry-friendly, none of the developed countries wants to reduce the use of fossil fuels in mills, factories, or even cheap alternatives if they do not want to. Without the use of hydroelectric power, solar power or atomic electricity, fossils have been used to create electricity, which causes carbon toxicity in the atmosphere. There are very few countries in hydropower facilities. Large-scale and long-term investment needs to be generated in solar power generation. Nuclear power plants are expensive and threats to the environment. But without the power, the earth will be stagnant. Considering everything, industrialised countries try to emit carbon, but in reality, the success may actually be little. An alternative and an effective natural way to reduce carbon emissions are to increase forestry. If most of the world's fallen land is covered with trees, then carbon emissions will significantly decrease.
Not only this, the political parties have committed suicidal activities to fill barricades of hundreds of trees in the name of the movement and filling the opposition, in the name of movement-struggle, in the name of the movement, which is responsible for most of the country's destruction of the environment. Which seems to cause more concern and fear for the country and the nation? Although the developed nations from the beginning of industrial revolution have been more responsible for arbitrary environmental pollution, climate change, erosion of waste, greenhouse reaction, nuclear and logistical pollution, industrialised countries are more responsible. Which is pouring into a terrible disaster in developing countries like ours? And our policymakers prefer to be a silent spectator instead of protesting and compensating them, which is not desirable. The destruction of the country's economy, people's livelihood, production-oriented agriculture, fisheries, all kinds of livelihoods due to such activities of industrialised countries and their negligence of the country, due to their negligence, the poisonous atmosphere surrounding us is creating a silent poisoning and horrific catastrophe and destruction that is pushing us and our future generation. It's now more important for everyone to get out of this.
It is difficult to think, due to the staggering environmental pollution and the climate change; there is no such kind of season in our country in the sixties. Because other seasons except summer, monsoon, and winter are more restricted than mere Bangla months and days. A little awareness, a careful vision, and goodwill can protect themselves from the environment and protect themselves from natural disasters. Because if we want to stop untimely tree plantation, sixteen million people can plant some sixteen million trees and save some of them from the catastrophic clutter of the Green House. In this case, we need more good wishes. If we still cannot take quick remedies, then its consequences will be worse for everyone.
Therefore, as soon as possible, it is crucial to identify all the possible ways to preserve the balance of the environment and pollution in the face of natural disasters, and be equally aware and responsible for the people of this country. Likewise, the government feels more important to develop planned and powerful disaster management structures in the country. In addition to compensating for their losses, every conscious people of this country, including the government, will have to play a more motivated and vocal role, which seems to be more pressing in the interest of the nation.
Almost every year, various types of natural disasters, such as tornadoes, are hurting the environment, including livelihoods and resources of the people of the country, such as cyclone, tidal bore, flood, drought, earthquake, land and hill collapse, fire extinguishing, river erosion, etc. In this, a huge amount of money is being spent only for the rehabilitation of the victims, which are hindering other development activities of the country. In this case, if the government stresses the need to adopt short and long-term plans for the prevention of disaster before its disaster, then more benefits will be available. This will prevent the loss of government money, just as it will be possible to permanently build the necessary infrastructure to prevent disaster. To provide the people's interest and motivation in this work, all the print and electronic media, including conscious youth, wealthy, will have to come forward with a service mentality.
In this case, we think that every citizen of the country, including the government, will have to take the necessary steps to be more aware and aware of the issues to be done in the fight against disaster. In this work, the government must ensure the involvement of the people in disaster management and its prevention.
A high-level National Disaster Response Committee will be formed with expert, experienced and researchers without the party's influence, the committee will only have to create new strategies for disaster prevention and management and it will be more determined to implement it quickly with accountability. The problem of environmental disasters and disaster is the overall national problem of a country. Therefore, no particular person, organisation or special law is enough to free the country and nation from that problem. What is needed in this case is the true consciousness of every person of the country. If every citizen of the country is aware of the problems of environmental disasters, then we can easily protect our existence from environmental disasters and any disaster, which is more urgent. To protect the country from such a silent attack like natural calamities, we need to be motivated right now. So, as soon as possible, the government should ensure coordinated administrative steps regarding the expertise, integrity, and expertise of the experts, protecting the country from the death of our endangered environment and ensuring a safe and beautiful homeland for our future generations.
That is what we expect from the government or the people in this country to face natural disaster - that consciousness and more good will awake.

Bad news for fans of The Culling: Developer Xaviant Games has announced that the game's free-to-play servers will close officially on May 15th.
Readers will recall that The Culling was a proto battle royale survival sandbox that hit early access two years ago, but it didn't make many headlines until 2018, when Xaviant released The Culling 2, a full battle royale title that that was met with such a hostile reception from Culling fans who felt abandoned that the studio canceled the sequel, released that depressing apology video, and went back to work on The Culling itself, restoring its launch content and going free-to-play.
"Even with thousands of active daily users, the revenue was only a fraction of what our dev team required to continue daily operations," the studio says. "As a result, we've been forced to reduce our team size, which renders us unable to provide ongoing support and updates that would allow the game to grow and thrive." Worth a note here: The studio says it's open to handing over the reins to another team.
wow, so they never even had a full release before announcing a sequel? This is why I NEVER touch early access BS.
A ruin of their own design.
A sad but inevitable outcome. And unfortunately, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Even after the video, I think most of us knew it wouldn't be enough. They alienated the small niche of players they had carved out for themselves.
I guess this one got culled, 2?
Not surprised, they ruined their one opportunity to make an impact years ago, destroyed all momentum the game had, and then tried to go back and do it all over in the hopes that it'd get more support while they were likely bleeding money.
Culling, we hardly knew ye.

1. Stop making stupid games that are a failure from the start.
2. Stop making stupid decisions that make good games bad and shut them down.

Listening to comments in global the last few days, it becomes obvious that with the addition of the PVE server, the games dynamics have changed and what were priorities before are no longer the case.
Case in point: With no pvp the most we need to worry about is the stray animal to avoid/kill/die from OR a rev wandering into your camp to eat your noggin.
Today what new players need is to learn how to provide for themselves, create a safe enclosure to avoid revs and the occasional animal. They also really need a ready source of information ingame that is friendly and helpful, without the unnecessary snide comments or newbie references.
What I want to do here is make a few suggestions on how we can all work together to learn the game, and have fun without frustrations.
To that end, here are a few of the ideas I had, and maybe you can share your comments or add new ideas to this thread.
The reason is that even though some things like Blueprints can be quite rare, many of us are from beta and have quite a few in storage, and what is one mans treasure is another mans junk, so 1 to one seems the best way to keep a steady flow of trading.
The reason is that many may want to stay solo but could use a leg up in learning the ropes, and could be a temporary member of Pawnee Tribe to get access to work areas, tools, resources, and knowledge BEFORE messing up their permanent homesite by making the usual newbie mistakes.
Some of the new players are complaining about nothing to hunt. Others are actually pvp players playing on PEACE because of the higher pop. This would be like any alliance, but would be specifically for those that want to hunt and kill things to also have an outlet for what they like to do.
Please feel free to comment on any of these ideas, or offer your own and lets see what we can get going.

P0305 - Frequency of psychosis-like symptoms in a non-clinical population of 12 year olds: Results from the Alspac birth cohort
J. Horwood, K. Thomas, L. Duffy, D. Gunnell, C. Hollis, G. Lewis, A. Thompson, D. Wolke, S. Zammitt, G. Harrison
Journal: European Psychiatry / Volume 23 / Issue S2 / April 2008
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020, p. S282
The utility of questionnaire based self-report measures for non-clinical psychotic symptoms is unclear and there are few reliable data about the nature and prevalence of these phenomena in children. The study aimed to investigate psychosis-like symptoms (PLIKS) in children utilizing both self-report measures and semi-structured observer rated assessments.
The study was cross-sectional; the setting being an assessment clinic for members of the ALSPAC birth cohort in Bristol, UK. 6455 respondents were assessed over 21 months, mean age 12.9 years. The main outcome measure was: 12 self-report screening questions for psychotic symptoms followed by semi-structured observer rated assessments by trained psychology graduates. The assessment instrument utilised stem questions, glossary definitions, and rating rules adapted from DISC-IV and SCAN items.
The 6-month period prevalence for one or more PLIKS rated by self-report questions was 38.9 % (95% CI = 37.7-40.1). Prevalence using observer rated assessments was 13.7% (95% CI = 12.8-14.5). Positive Predictive Values for the screen questions versus observer rated scores were low, except for auditory hallucinations (PPV=70%; 95% CI = 67.1-74.2). The most frequent observer rated symptom was auditory hallucinations (7.3%); in 18.8% of these cases symptoms occurred weekly or more. The prevalence of DSM-IV 'core' schizophrenia symptoms was 3.62%. Rates were significantly higher in children with low socio-economic status.
With the exception of auditory hallucinations, self-rated questionnaires are likely to substantially over-estimate the frequency of PLIKS in 12-year-old children. However, more reliable observer rated assessments reveal that PLIKS occur in a significant proportion of children.

Technological innovations in mental healthcare: harnessing the digital revolution
Chris Hollis, Richard Morriss, Jennifer Martin, Sarah Amani, Rebecca Cotton, Mike Denis, Shôn Lewis
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 206 / Issue 4 / April 2015
Digital technology has the potential to transform mental healthcare by connecting patients, services and health data in new ways. Digital online and mobile applications can offer patients greater access to information and services and enhance clinical management and early intervention through access to real-time patient data. However, substantial gaps exist in the evidence base underlying these technologies. Greater patient and clinician involvement is needed to evaluate digital technologies and ensure they target unmet needs, maintain public trust and improve clinical outcomes.

Maternal tobacco, cannabis and alcohol use during pregnancy and risk of adolescent psychotic symptoms in offspring
Stanley Zammit, Kate Thomas, Andrew Thompson, Jeremy Horwood, Paulo Menezes, David Gunnell, Chris Hollis, Dieter Wolke, Glyn Lewis, Glynn Harrison
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 195 / Issue 4 / October 2009
Adverse effects of maternal substance use during pregnancy on fetal development may increase risk of psychopathology.
To examine whether maternal use of tobacco, cannabis or alcohol during pregnancy increases risk of offspring psychotic symptoms.
A longitudinal study of 6356 adolescents, age 12, who completed a semi-structured interview for psychotic symptoms in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort.
Frequency of maternal tobacco use during pregnancy was associated with increased risk of suspected or definite psychotic symptoms (adjusted odds ratio 1.20, 95% CI 1.05–1.37, P = 0.007). Maternal alcohol use showed a non-linear association with psychotic symptoms, with this effect almost exclusively in the offspring of women drinking >21 units weekly. Maternal cannabis use was not associated with psychotic symptoms. Results for paternal smoking during pregnancy and maternal smoking post-pregnancy lend some support for a causal effect of tobacco exposure in utero on development of psychotic experiences.
These findings indicate that risk factors for development of non-clinical psychotic experiences may operate during early development. Future studies of how in utero exposure to tobacco affects cerebral development and function may lead to increased understanding of the pathogenesis of psychotic phenomena.
Association of measures of fetal and childhood growth with non-clinical psychotic symptoms in 12-year-olds: the ALSPAC cohort
K. Thomas, G. Harrison, S. Zammit, G. Lewis, J. Horwood, J. Heron, C. Hollis, D. Wolke, A. Thompson, D. Gunnell
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 194 / Issue 6 / June 2009
Previous studies have suggested that impaired fetal and childhood growth are associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia, but the association of pre-adult growth with non-clinical psychotic symptoms (psychosis-like symptoms) in children is not known.
To explore the associations of body size at birth and age 7.5 years with childhood psychosis-like symptoms.
Prospective cohort of children followed up from birth to age 12: the ALSPAC cohort.
Data on 6000 singleton infants born after 37 weeks of gestation. A one standard deviation increase in birth weight was associated with an 18% reduction in the risk of definite psychosis-like symptoms after adjusting for age and gestation (Odds ratio (OR) = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.73–0.92, P = 0.001). This association was partly confounded by maternal anthropometry, smoking during pregnancy, socioeconomic status and IQ. A similar association was seen for birth length and psychosis-like symptoms, which disappeared after controlling for birth weight. There was little evidence for an association of 7-year height or adiposity with psychosis-like symptoms.
Measures of impaired fetal, but not childhood, growth are associated with an increased risk of psychosis-like symptoms in 12-year-olds.
Investigating whether adverse prenatal and perinatal events are associated with non-clinical psychotic symptoms at age 12 years in the ALSPAC birth cohort
S. Zammit, D. Odd, J. Horwood, A. Thompson, K. Thomas, P. Menezes, D. Gunnell, C. Hollis, D. Wolke, G. Lewis, G. Harrison
Journal: Psychological Medicine / Volume 39 / Issue 9 / September 2009
Non-clinical psychosis-like symptoms (PLIKS) occur in about 15% of the population. It is not clear whether adverse events during early development alter the risk of developing PLIKS. We aimed to examine whether maternal infection, diabetes or pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, gestational age, perinatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation or 5-min Apgar score were associated with development of psychotic symptoms during early adolescence.
A longitudinal study of 6356 12-year-old adolescents who completed a semi-structured interview for psychotic symptoms in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort. Prenatal and perinatal data were obtained from obstetric records and maternal questionnaires completed during pregnancy.
The presence of definite psychotic symptoms was associated with maternal infection during pregnancy [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11–1.86, p=0.006], maternal diabetes (adjusted OR 3.43, 95% CI 1.14–10.36, p=0.029), need for resuscitation (adjusted OR 1.50, 95% CI 0.97–2.31, p=0.065) and 5-min Apgar score (adjusted OR per unit decrease 1.30, 95% CI 1.12–1.50, p<0.001). None of these associations were mediated by childhood IQ score. Most associations persisted, but were less strong, when including suspected symptoms as part of the outcome. There was no association between PLIKS and gestational age or pre-eclampsia.
Adverse events during early development may lead to an increased risk of developing PLIKS. Although the status of PLIKS in relation to clinical disorders such as schizophrenia is not clear, the similarity between these results and findings reported for schizophrenia indicates that future studies of PLIKS may help us to understand how psychotic experiences and clinical disorders develop throughout the life-course.
IQ and non-clinical psychotic symptoms in 12-year-olds: results from the ALSPAC birth cohort
Jeremy Horwood, Giovanni Salvi, Kate Thomas, Larisa Duffy, David Gunnell, Chris Hollis, Glyn Lewis, Paulo Menezes, Andrew Thompson, Dieter Wolke, Stanley Zammit, Glynn Harrison
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 193 / Issue 3 / September 2008
Non-clinical psychotic symptoms appear common in children, but it is possible that a proportion of reported symptoms result from misinterpretation. There is a well-established association between pre-morbid low IQ score and schizophrenia. Psychosis-like symptoms in children may also be a risk factor for psychotic disorder but their relationship with IQ is unclear.
To investigate the prevalence, nature and frequency of psychosis-like symptoms in 12-year-old children and study their relationship with IQ.
Longitudinal study using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort. A total of 6455 children completed screening questions for 12 psychotic symptoms followed by a semi-structured clinical assessment. IQ was assessed at 8 years of age using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (3rd UK edition).
The 6-month period prevalence for one or more symptoms was 13.7% (95% CI 12.8–14.5). After adjustment for confounding variables, there was a non-linear association between IQ score and psychosis-like symptoms, such that only those with below average IQ score had an increased risk of reporting such symptoms.
Non-clinical psychotic symptoms occur in a significant proportion of 12-year-olds. Symptoms are associated with low IQ and also less strongly with a high IQ score. The pattern of association with IQ differs from that observed in schizophrenia.
Mental health and quality of residential environment
Hollie Thomas, Nikki Weaver, Joanne Patterson, Phil Jones, Truda Bell, Rebecca Playle, Frank Dunstan, Stephen Palmer, Glyn Lewis, Ricardo Araya
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 191 / Issue 6 / December 2007
There is increasing interest in the proposition that residential environment can affect mental health.
To study the degree to which common mental disorder clusters according to postcode units and households. To investigate whether contextual measures of residential environment quality and geographical accessibility are associated with symptoms of common mental disorder.
A total of 1058 individuals aged 16–75 years (response rate 66%) participated in a cross-sectional survey The 12-item General Health Questionnaire measured symptoms of common mental disorder.
Only 2% (95% CI 0–6) of the unexplained variation in symptoms existed at postcode unit level, whereas 37% (95% CI 27–49) existed at household-level, but the postcode unit variation was reduced to zero after adjustments. There was little evidence to suggest that residential quality or accessibility were associated with symptoms.
There was substantial unexplained variation at the household level but we could find no evidence of postcode unit variation and no association with residential environmental quality or geographical accessibility. It is likely that the psychosocial environment is more important than the physical environment in relation to common mental disorder.
Systematic review of multi-symptom conditions in Gulf War veterans
HOLLIE V. THOMAS, NICOLA J. STIMPSON, ALISON L. WEIGHTMAN, FRANK DUNSTAN, GLYN LEWIS
Journal: Psychological Medicine / Volume 36 / Issue 6 / June 2006
Background. Gulf War veterans have a number of health complaints. We therefore decided to carry out a systematic review to identify and summarize the findings from studies that have assessed multi-symptom conditions in Gulf War veterans and in an unexposed comparison group.
Method. Studies published between January 1990 and May 2004 were identified by searching a large number of electronic databases. Reference lists and websites were also searched and key researchers were contacted. Studies were included if they compared the prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, CDC-defined chronic multi-symptom illness, fibromyalgia, or symptoms of either fatigue or numbness and tingling in Gulf War veterans and non-Gulf veterans. A total of 2401 abstracts were independently reviewed by two authors.
Results. Twenty-three publications fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Gulf deployment was most strongly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome (OR 3·8, 95% CI 2·2–6·7). Gulf War veterans were also approximately three and a half times more likely than non-Gulf veterans to report multiple chemical sensitivity or chronic multi-symptom illness as defined by CDC. The methodological quality of the studies varied but the later and larger studies were of a high methodological standard with robust sampling strategies, adequate response rates and good adjustment for confounders.
Conclusions. The results support the hypothesis that deployment to the Gulf War is associated with greater reporting of multi-symptom conditions.
Psychiatric disorder in veterans of the Persian Gulf War of 1991: Systematic review
Nicola J. Stimpson, Hollie V. Thomas, Alison L. Weightman, Frank Dunstan, Glyn Lewis
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 182 / Issue 5 / May 2003
Veterans of the Persian Gulf War of 1991 have reported symptoms attributed to their military service.
To review all studies comparing the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in Gulf War veterans and in a comparison group of service personnel not deployed to the Gulf War.
Studies of military personnel deployed to the Gulf published between 1990 and 2001 were identified from electronic databases. Reference lists and websites were searched and key researchers were contacted for information. Atotal of 2296 abstracts and 409 complete articles were reviewed and data were extracted independently by two members of the research team.
The prevalence of psychiatric disorder in 20 studies of Gulf War veterans was compared with the prevalence in the comparison group. Prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and common mental disorder were higher in the Gulf War veterans. Heterogeneity between studies was significant, but all reported this increased prevalence.
Veterans of the Persian Gulf War reported an increased prevalence of PTSD and common mental disorder compared with other active service personnel not deployed to the Gulf. These findings are attributable to the increase in psychologically traumatic events in wartime.
Signs of asphyxia at birth and risk of schizophrenia: Population-based case–control study
Christina Dalman, Hollie V. Thomas, Antony S. David, Johan Gentz, Glyn Lewis, Peter Allebeck
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 179 / Issue 5 / November 2001
Previous research has found an association between obstetric complications and schizophrenia, but in many studies the sample size was limited, and no assessment of specific exposures was possible.
To assess the role of different complications, and in particular to distinguish between disordered foetal development and hypoxia at birth.
From the Stockholm County In-Patient Register and community registers, we identified 524 cases of schizophrenia and 1043 controls, matched for age, gender, hospital and parish of birth. Data on obstetric complications were obtained from birth records.
There was a strong association between signs of asphyxia at birth and schizophrenia (OR 4.4; 95% C11.9–10.3) after adjustment for other obstetric complications, maternal history of psychotic illness and social class.
Signs of asphyxia at birth are associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia in adults.
Obstetric complications and risk of schizophrenia: Effect of gender, age at diagnosis and maternal history of psychosis
Hollie V. Thomas, Christina Dalman, Anthony S. David, Johan Gentz, Glyn Lewis, Peter Allebeck
Obstetric complications have been studied frequently as possible risk factors for schizophrenia.
To test the hypotheses that individual obstetric complications are most strongly associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia in males, in patients with an early age at first diagnosis and in subjects with a maternal history of psychosis.
Cases of schizophrenia diagnosed between January 1971 and June 1994 were identified in the Stockholm County In-Patient Register. Controls were matched on age, gender, hospital of birth and parish of birth. Obstetric data were recorded blind to case–control status for 524 cases and 1043 controls.
This study did not find any large or consistent effect of gender, age at diagnosis or maternal history of psychosis on the risk of schizophrenia associated with individual complications.
Future studies should examine these effects using a much larger sample that includes patients with schizophrenia and control subjects whose genetic risk of schizophrenia has been assessed accurately.

John Roger Lowe, joined the staff of the Ipswich School of Art, then in High Street, Ipswich and in 1984, succeeded Derek Benney [q.v.], as principal of the school, then in the Rope Walk, Ipswich. This was an unusual appointment for an already serving applicant to be offered a headship but Lowe had spearheaded the School of Art's return to art education at a Higher level. He had Andrew Dodds [q.v.] as his unofficial deputy and Lowe launched a number of new courses at several levels from a one-year entry level course at High Street, a one-year foundation course leading to the two-year pre-degree course. Roger retired from the School in January 2000 when he was able to pursue his keen interest in sailing and developed his artistic approach as a figurative stone carver.


Garage door repairman Glenn professional and excellent. Bought new unit.
Installers were professional and explained all my options.
Once again a great job, prompt service by Gaetano.
Yesterday Gaetano came to repair spring and cables and had to come back today to remove the door opener and install a new one. It was at the end of the day, was a time consuming job, and he was as capable and patient as if it was his first job of the day. He is an excellent worker and I recommend him highly. He's a pleasure to do business with.
Your service was prompt, phone responders were courteous, technician was affable and knowledgeable and performed his work in professional manner. I am very pleased. We have used your company many times in the past and will continue to call you if we need help. Thank you.
Tim was great! He was friendly, personable and very efficient. He described in detail what he needed to do before he began the repairs. The door works as good as new. Well done! Jude R.
Technician was very professional and knowlegable, and fixed our garage door in minimal time. I am very satisfied and would recommend your service to others.

Q: My reducer is triggered twice when I call it once. There something strange when I try to fix it Here is my code.
The demo site is here.
On the demo web page, I have 2 buttons, 1 is the "go" button, the other one is the "Back" button. Suppose when I click on the "go" button, the present value will be shown in the console in the following format:
before:{"a":[12,27],"b":[63,14]}
after:{"a":[75,27],"b":[63,14]}

Unfortunately, the actual result as the following:
before:{"a":[12,27],"b":[63,14]}
after:{"a":[75,27],"b":[63,14]}
before:{"a":[12,27],"b":[63,14]}
after:{"a":[75,27],"b":[63,14]}

When I comment the following lines in the DEF componet:
setTimeout(()=>{
  setContextValue({undoUtil});
},10)

Then, the present value will be shown in the console in the correct format.
However, it does not trigger the screen layout refresh.
How can I fix the problem?

A: What are you actually trying to do? It's incredibly unclear. The reason why you're seeing it logged in the console twice is because you have two calls to undoUtil.set
    setTimeout(() => {
      temp["a"][0] = 75;
      undoUtil.set(temp);
    }, 0);

    setTimeout(
      ()=>{
        temp['a'][1]=20;
        undoUtil.set(temp);
      }
    ,0);

Why the setTimeout's? What's going on?
Not an answer, I know, but too long for a comment.

A: Finally, I found the problem in the DEF.js. Maybe the following code caused the problem.
  temp["a"][0] = 75;
  undoUtil.set(temp);
  temp['a'][1]=20;
  undoUtil.set(temp);

All of the undoUtil.set are using the same variable temp, maybe something is overwritten.
Besides that, in the useUndoUtil.js the set method may has same problem,
    case "set":
        console.log("before:"+JSON.stringify(state.presentValue));
        let temp=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(state.pastValue));
        temp.push(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(state.presentValue)));
        state.pastValue=temp;
        state.presentValue=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(action.value));
        console.log("after:"+JSON.stringify(state.presentValue));
        return state;
        break;

After I change the code in DEF.js as the below:
temp['a'][0]=75;
undoUtil.set(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(temp)));
temp['a'][1]=20;
undoUtil.set(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(temp)));

And the code in useUndoUtil.js as the following:
case "set":
    let temp=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(state.pastValue));
    temp.push(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(state.presentValue)));
    return {
      pastValue:temp,
      presentValue:JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(action.value))
    }
    break;

It seems working as I expected. Thank you, Adam, if none concerns the question,
I won't retry to resolve the problem.

No one likes the nasty surprise of opening their renewal insurance policy and finding the rate has gone up a few hundred dollars. If you find your insurance premium has changed from the premium you paid last year here are a few things to consider. Check to see if the amount of insurance is the same. Is your house is insured for the same amount as it was a year ago? Insurance companies use what they call an "inflation guard" for many replacement policies. This means they raise the amount of insurance on your house to cover inflation. For instance if your house was insured for $100,000 last year the company may raise it to $110,000 to keep up with rising prices. Since the cost of labor and materials to rebuild the house keep rising, the company wants your house to be insured for its true replacement cost. The market value of the house may be lower than the amount of insurance listed on the policy, but the insurance company has to pay to rebuild the house with like kind and quality of materials in the event of a loss. The cost to rebuild the house may be more than its market value. If the house burns, the company is obligated to pay you the amount of insurance stated on the policy. Not all policies have the inflation guard feature. Insurance rates are going up! For several years insurance costs have remained stable. This is changing. Unfortunately, rates on home and autos are starting to go up again. Just as we are beginning to see the effects of inflation in many other areas of our economy so we are seeing it in the costs of protecting our property and assets.
What can you do about raising insurance rates?
Make sure you are getting all your discounts. Often discounts offered on multiple policies can off set the rise in rates. Ask your agent for a quote on your home, autos, and life with the same company. Many times you will more than off set the rate increase.
Get a policy review. You may be paying for things you don't need if you have sold property or no longer use property you have insured. Your agent may be able to offer you a policy with a higher deductible that can decrease the premium.
Ask your agent to review your policy to be sure you know what protection you are buying. Before you shop your policies make sure you understand what the policy covers. Many times people think they are getting a great bargain when they get a quote that is much lower than they are already paying. Be careful here. We all want to save money, but sometimes saving a few dollars on insurance premium can cost you a bundle when a loss happens. Here are a few areas where you need to be very careful when looking for insurance.
If you own acres and/or livestock you need to make sure you have the right policy to protect you in the event of a lawsuit involving your farm acreage or livestock.
If you own livestock, and barns, farm equipment, hay, or farm tools these items must be listed on the policy to have protection. A standard home owners policy cannot insure these items. You need a policy especially designed to protect farms.
When you get a quote for a policy make sure you are being offered a policy that does not have less protection than you already have. If your house qualifies for replacement cost, make sure the quote says replacement cost. The cheaper premium on a policy that does not offer replacement cost may not be a good bargain because in the event of a loss the insurance company may deduct depreciation from your loss in addition to the deductible. There are a number of things the cheaper policy may not cover such as water discharge from plumbing or sewer, or theft.
Insurance is complicated and we are here to help you understand it. At Elzey Insurance, we take particular care in helping you get the protection you need at the best price possible without sacrificing all important protection. Whether you live on a large farm or in a city, we offer policies designed to protect your property. We insure your property with the best protection available on the market at competitive rates.


Previously, I've written about key factors that will help you assess whether you're well-matched with your counsellor or potential counsellor. In this article, I would like to go deeper into that topic and talk more about what makes a counselling relationship strong, why that's so important and what to do when the fit isn't right.
Counselling research suggests that the therapeutic fit between client and counsellor, also known as the therapeutic alliance, is 5-7 times more effective than therapeutic technique in determining counselling success. There is an overall consensus that counselling works, but that overall, no one counselling method stands out as better than the rest, although this is not to say that specific counselling methods aren't important! It's just important to find the right one(s) for each client!
The client's perception of the therapeutic relationship – does she or he feel heard, understood and respected?
In other words, a solid therapeutic relationship has the potential to activate clients' internal strength in a way which helps them effect meaningful life change.
Is there a sense of ease or comfort between client and counsellor?
Is the counsellor experienced in the areas that the client is seeking help with?
Are there opportunities to bring laughter and levity to the counselling, when appropriate? Can the counselling be serious too, when needed?
Is there willingness or readiness for the client to be in counselling and to participate in the counselling process? Counselling is not for everyone and this is perfectly OK!
What are the client's expectations for tools/homework and are they in synch with the stage of therapy or the issue(s) at hand? The client and counsellor may have different assumptions around this!
Can the counsellor feel free to work in a genuine manner —i.e., in a way that is true to themselves as a person? If the counsellor is communicating authentically does the client receive this communication as authentic? Does the client feel able to talk in the session and if she or he feels that it may take a while to open up, can the client foresee this happening eventually? Does the client feel an absence of judgement from the counsellor?
Emotional risk: Being open with a professional, often about vulnerable topics. If the client feels a sense of ease and emotional safety with the counsellor then the potential to successfully work through challenging topics is much greater. If a sense of interpersonal incompatibility exists, the counselling client can feel worse when vulnerable topics are tackled.
Financial risk: Counselling is expensive, particularly if clients don't have coverage through an extended health provider Having a better sense of whether or not it's a match earlier on, can be money-saving.
Time-Risk: Counselling is an investment of time, with frequency ranging from weekly to every few months. On rare occasions, clients may attend twice in a week. Given how busy our lives are, counselling should be time well spent.
It should be emphasized that if a client does not see it as a match, to please speak up! Clients actually have the final say in the matter – ultimately you decide whether to continue or not.
It's also important to note that the counsellor may not sense that it is not a good fit. You may be feeling a sense of disjointedness that the counsellor has not picked up on. Again, if you feel comfortable, please bring up your concerns with your counsellor. This may even be a situation that is resolvable and could even lead to an enhanced therapeutic fit. Or maybe not. A conversation is an important starting point.
Sometimes counsellors may be reluctant to communicate to clients that the therapeutic fit is not optimal, out of fear of hurting clients' feelings or sparking feelings of rejection. Certainly, such feelings may arise for a client, particularly if they like the counsellor, if the client is already in a heightened emotional state or crisis, or if the client has had painful experiences in their past of being rejected by others.
The counsellor may truly like the client too, but this is not about 'like' or 'dislike.' From the counsellor's perspective, calling out this situation is ideally about honestly ensuring that clients receive the counselling help that will ultimately benefit them. And sometimes a different counsellor is what is needed and a referral to another mental health professional is suggested. It is not personal.


The Govt. of Madhya Pradesh has announced one scheme called the MBBY which is aimed for the welfare of the farmers in the state and to provide them financial support in case of losses in crops. Few state governments have taken several steps like considering the crop loans to provide relief to the farmers. However, the Madhya Pradesh state government has played a good card by choosing not to waive off the entire farmer loan, but to pay the amount which the farmer is making loss, directly to the bank account of the farmer.
To stop the high number of farmer suicides which is growing year after year in the state of Madhya Pradesh, the Govt. has decided to go to the root cause of this problem. The main cause of the suffering of farmers is that they do not the right return which was invested during the cultivation of crops.
MSP : Hence under the MBBY scheme, the govt. decided to transfer the difference amount between the current selling price of the crop which is being collected from different mandis (local whole sale markets) and the price of remuneration. The price of crops collected from the crop markets (mandis) is the MSP.
The Agricultural Department (Madhya Pradesh Krishi Utpad Lagat and Vipanan Aayog ) will decide the remunerative price of a certain crop.
The scheme will be considered for both Kharif as well as Rabi crops. Kharif crops such as soyabean, arhar, maize, etc. will be included under the scheme. Also several Rabi crops may be taken into consideration.
There is a dispute resolution mechanism in the scheme also under which a farmer has raised a grievance related to the scheme and its benefits. Each such dispute will be address by Govt. representatives within three months of the grievance registration.
Cases like land partition, land demarcation, mutation cases etc. will also be looked after and necessary action be taken within three months. In case the dispute raised is not resolved within the stipulated time, then the Govt. will pay compensation to the applicant and the amount of compensation will be debited from the salary account of the Govt. official.
The Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana (Price Deficit financing Scheme) will cover 8 crops initially. Most of these crops shall be of pulses and oilseeds variety. This is because the government procurement on these crops is low compared to rice and white.
The Madhya Pradesh government will give compensation to the farmers of the state if the crops (mentioned in the list) are sold at a price less than the MSP. However, they will only pay as per the cap placed on the modal price.
[A modal price is the average price in the market for a particular item calculated over a period of two months in Madhya Pradesh and two other states where the crop is grown and traded in].
So if the MSP of an item is Rs. 3050 per quintal, then the modal rate for the same will be Rs. 2700 per quintal. In this case if the farmer sells the crop at Rs. 2800 per quintal, then the government shall pay out Rs. 250 for each quintal sold.
Such a payment shall be sent directly into the bank account of every farmer. However, if the crops are sold at a price of Rs. 2600 per quintal, then the state shall transfer only Rs. 350 per quintal.
So you will be getting the amount which will be the difference between your model price and the MSP, if you are eligible for this scheme.
So if you grow any of the crops that are enlisted under this scheme then you will have to register your crop at the cooperative society at your village.
For joining the scheme, the beneficiaries will have to link their Aadhar card with each application.
The Aadhar card linking is mandatory as this will uniquely identify every applicant resulting in no chance of duplicity.
Apart from this, bank account details are to be provided so that the scheme benefit can be received through that account.
Also documents related to the land measurement where the cultivation is done is to be submitted.
The farmers who want to register themselves may collect the forms from the Panchayat offices, office of the Dist. Collector, Block offices, etc.
All necessary details like name, address, age, other personal details, Aadhar number, photo, etc is to be provided in the application form.
Bank account details like account number, IFSC code, branch name, etc are to be filled up which will be used to transfer the relief amount. One may have bank account in any nationalized bank, Gramin bank or co-operative bank.
The application form should also contain the details of the cultivation they have done along with the details / measurement of land used for the cultivation.
Candidates interested can now download the PDF format of the application form from the website and fill in all details required.
The application forms can then be submitted to various Mandi centers or e-uparjan centers established in different states.
You can also visit the online web portal at http://mpeuparjan.nic.in from your web browser. Fill in the details on application form and submit it online.
To get registered under the scheme you have to visit the official web portal of e-uparjan.
From the main page you have to select the Registration option for Kharif Kisan for year 2017-18.
Select to get registered for rice and kharif crop for 2017-18 and you shall be redirected towards the next page.
To get registered, provide with your Aadhar card number of Samagra ID number.
Once the information has been updated you just have to select registration option.
Finally, provide with details of your personal information including name, address and contact information along with your bank account details.
You have to submit with copy of your loan amount passbook and land papers or ownership documents.
If you are land owner of Patta or Sikmi land then you have to provide with authorization letter.
Aadhar car details are also requested to be submitted along with application form.
You have to provide with hard copy of your passbook first page displaying your name and other account details for co-operative or nationalized bank.
One mobile application named the Girdawari mobile app will be used to keep track of all farm production of the farmers registered under the MBBY scheme.
This mobile app will not only collect online data of the crops which are being cultivated by the registered beneficiaries of the MBY scheme, but also will have data of land measurements of those beneficiaries.
This app is way more easy and efficient to collect these required data than to collect them physically.
Madhya Pradesh is one of the states in India where several farmers are suffering from agricultural losses year after year. The reason behind it is lack of sufficient rainfall, excess rainfall causing flood (like this year), non-availability of irrigation facilities, etc. These problems result in huge losses to the farmers who do the cultivation and sell their crops in the market. As a result, the number of farmer suicides is alarmingly high in this state. So the state govt. has decided to provide financial relief to the farmers by crediting the amount of loss made in selling their crops. Under the MBBY scheme, the financial relief will be directly transferred to the registered bank account of the farmer / beneficiary.
For Wheat cultivating farmers of Madhya Pradesh has started registration process online. Under the new Yojana the farmers will be able to make the claims for collecting deficit price from the state government. The claim can be made by the farmer if the Wheat price offered is much below MSP set by the central government.
The statements have been made that farmers can now get registered under the scheme online for 2018-19. The farmers can log-on to the official E-Uparjan website at mpeuparjan.nic.in. The web service is available for all Wheat growing farmers within the state.
One of the main benefits of the web service is that it is available for access for free. The farmer who wants to take benefit will not have to invest or pay any money under the scheme.
A deficit Price (Difference) will be paid by the state government to the farmer in case the price of Wheat in the market is much below MSP as that stated by the central government.
Farmers can get registered under the scheme from official E-Uparjan web site after visiting it from the web browser. The home page will offer with convenience where you can select 2018-19 fiscal year under the Wheat cultivation option.
Once selected you shall be directed towards second web page displaying Procurement Monitoring system. You have to provide with required details in the space provided.
On this page it is important to mention Samagra ID (if not, then you can also mention your member ID) along with the Verification Code. This is important for the process of authentication.
Details related to land, personal information and Bank account has to be provided most accurately by the farmer on the application form for the process of authentication.
If you need for future reference then you can also click the "print out" option from the web page to collect hardcopy of the form.
You may have to follow six distinct steps for completing the process of procurement of the deficit amount. The government has ensured that the farmers are offered with complete transparency at the time of procurement. The system also ensures that the process does not get complicated for the farmer.
Farmers, the moment they log on to the official website, have to provide with details related to information requested on the E-Uparjan site.
A registration receipt will be provided to the farmer after all details have been verified for authentication.
The date on which the farmer has to reach the procurement center for collecting the claim will be notified on the mobile number that has been registered by the farmer.
At the procurement center the farmer is also provided with receipt the moment the money is transacted into his bank account.
After completion of the process the amount is transferred in farmer's bank account which can be withdrawn by him at any time.
The state government also aims at offering helping hand to the farmers under the new system so they may not have to face losses on account of calamities or price fall.
According to the officials the process for Rabi Crop registration for Farmers will begin starting from 12th February 2018. The registration will be done for Onion, Lentils, Grams (Chana) and Mustard crops under the Co-op society for Primary Agriculture for 3500 societies. The last date for registration is till 12th March . The officials have also stated that they expect over 70 percent farmers to get themselves under the new scheme. It is also expected that over 48 percent of the farmers will get registered by the Kharif season.
The Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana is set to get restarted by the Madhya Pradesh government shortly. The scheme has apparently been approved by the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Talking about the scheme, it is noted that 13 kharif crops will be sold at a lesser price with the state and outside too. For registrations, interested applicants can apply from July 28 to August 31. Some sources claim that the kharif crops are available at lower than the minimum prices in Madhya Pradesh and outside.
According to the BBY scheme, it has been available for 13 crops including – wheat, jahwar, soyabeen, urad, bajra, rice, til, groundnut, cotton, ramtil, and more.
These crops' model price shall be calculated by concerning the average price of Madhya Pradesh's commodity. Farmers require registering for this scheme and selling the products accordingly.

Q: Is it a good idea to use svn and check diff in command line in Mac OSX? I used to use svn with TortoiseSVN in Windows.
And I always compared every file I modified to the old ones with WinMerge after every time I modified them.

But I couldn't find a svn client like TortiseSVN and a directory/file comparison tool like WinMerge in mac.

So unfortunately, I have to use svn in command line.
And I have to use svn diff command and check differences on the terminal screen.

I'm very afraid I will make more mistakes and bugs if I use command line instead of GUI.
Is it good I a idea to use command line instead of GUI?

And is it normal to compare every file I modified to the old ones with WinMerge after every time I modified them?
Or am i worrying too much?
Is there a application like WinMerge easily and quickly to compare files in 2 directories in mac?

A:
Is it good I a idea to use command line instead of GUI?

Yes.

And is it normal to compare every file I modified to the old ones with WinMerge after every time I modified them?

Yes.
Also.  Buy this: http://www.syncrosvnclient.com/

A: Typically I work with the IDE like Eclipse with build-in svn support. But of course you can use the commandline client! But you need not. I also tried svnX on Mac OS X as an open source svn GUI.
By the way: No I do not diff all files before commit, I run all tests!

A: I'm in some way the oposite of you: In my daily work I use the build-in SVN support of Eclipse. But if I have to do more than trivial tasks (like a simple commit or update) I switch to the command line.
I do this because I never took the time to find out what's exactly happening if I click on this or that button in GUI-tools. But I do know exactly what happening on the command line.
Would I make more mistakes if I would use a GUI-tool instead of the command line? Probably not, once I tried out and learned the functions of all buttons.

Is there a application like WinMerge easily and quickly to compare files in 2 directories in mac?

Well, there's diff …
But if you only want to find out which files were modified, use svn status (or short: svn st). This gives you a list of all files in the current directory, that are modified, conflicted, added or deleted.

A: You are worrying too much. Look at it as a learning opportunity, learning how to use the SVN commandline tools. And others here can chime in with GUI SVN tools for Mac.

A: If you want to keep the gui stuff, I'd steer you towards an IDE (IntelliJ IDEA or eclipse).
You'll get integration with svn at least as good as you had with tortoise.
What are you currently using for an editor?   What language(s) do you primarily work with?


Geek Insider has been involved in a huge and highly hush-hush conspiracy. In fact, we still don't know much of what's going. It began with Bill, a hapless scientist, which led us to send our most amazing journalist to China to interview someone else who promised us he had more information.
I know Bill contacted you. He had contacted me as well. I've seen the video, I know his story. There's more. I work for an… organization. My code name is Diamante and I've been on the hunt for a diamond.
It's not an ordinary diamond, this is The Diamond: the embodiment of beauty and perfect shape. I've been looking for it for six years. The mission? Mission Brilliant. I finally got a tip off. A note from Bill, after he'd disappeared.
I knew which one he was talking about. He meant the very first bar we'd met in secret. The bar he gave me the video in. There was no Diamond. However, the bartender had a drink waiting for me. Underneath the whiskey was a coaster. It showed me the way. It led me to the high-security location where the Diamond was supposed to be. I faced a lot of challenges to get in. I would face any danger to get it. It is the perfect design, its beauty is unique in every way.
Don't try to reach me. They know I know. I'll reach out when – if – I can.

Mekong Delta takes preventive measures to prevent dengue fever outbreaks
Local residents in Đồng Tháp Province remove stagnant water, a breeding ground for mosquitoes. VNA/VNS Photo
30 Sep 20 Vietnam News Source HCM CITY — Provinces in Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta have stepped up preventive measures to reduce the risk of outbreaks after an increase in the number of dengue fever cases in various parts of the Mekong Delta region.
The Bến Tre Province's Department of Health has reported 2,708 cases of dengue fever, with no deaths, since the beginning of the year, an increase of 820 cases compared to the same period last year.
Dr. Ngô Văn Tán, director of the department, said health authorities were speeding up preventive measures to prevent outbreaks, including an awareness drive and measures to eliminate mosquito breeding sources, and spraying of chemicals to kill mosquitoes in high-risk areas where dengue cases have been reported.
The transition from the hot season to the rainy season provides favourable conditions for mosquitoes to develop, resulting in more dengue fever cases. The risk of dengue fever outbreaks is high if preventive measures are not put in place in a timely manner, Tán said.
In Đồng Tháp Province, more than 1,700 people have had dengue fever, including 48 people with severe dengue fever since the beginning of the year. There have been no deaths.
The provincial Department of Health has strengthened preventive measures, said Dương Ân Hận, deputy director of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
The department has conducted three campaigns on killing mosquitoes and mosquito larvae in residential areas and households and raising public awareness about disease prevention and treatment.
Văn Công Minh, director of Vĩnh Long Province's Department of Health, said that around 100 mosquito larvae breeding sites had been identified and were being closely supervised by public health officials.
The number of dengue cases in September was higher than the previous month. More than 30 people were diagnosed with dengue fever each week in September, a two-fold rise compared to one-week figures in August. The upward trend during the rainy season is expected to continue.
A total of 389 dengue cases have been reported in Cà Mau Province since the beginning of the year, a year-on-year drop of 60 per cent, according to the province's Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. However, the number of dengue cases has risen in the last few weeks.
The province has focused on preventive measures, with more than 200 mosquito larvae breeding sites eliminated and three communes sprayed with chemicals. —VNS

It has been necessary to devote a considerable portion of the book to detailed descriptions of structural forms and adjustments. These may prove tedious to the unprofessional reader but I have endeavoured to make them as brief as was consistent with thoroughness, and to express myself, as far as possible, in terms that may be generally understood.
The illustrations to the book have been reproduced either on wood or by mechanical process from drawings, the most of which were made on the spot, or from photographs, by myself. For some of the illustrations of sculpture the drawings have been made from photographs either by my daughter, or by myself; and several of the most elaborate illustrations of entire buildings have been drawn from photographs for the engraver by Mr. H. W. Brewer of London, the well-known architectural draughtsman.

Telling Canada's Geomatics Stories with NRCan & CCMEO
Perhaps the most effective means for strengthening and empowering Canada's geomatics sector is communicating our value and purpose to Canadians.
For the rest of 2017 and over the course of the next year, I will be writing about some really interesting and important Canadian geomatics stories. These articles will explore work that is being done by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and more specifically the Center for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO).
Starting in October, GoGeomatics Canada will publish one or two articles on data, projects, people, issues and goals of the CCMEO each month. I feel really lucky to be able to narrate some fascinating stories about geomatics at NRCan and I will be exploring some topics near and dear to the hearts of many Canadian geospatial professionals.
When I was doing my GIS graduate diploma at The Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS), it did not take long for me to realize much of the base data (raster and vector) we were using came from the federal government. As I pursued my geomatics career, this fact persisted. So much of the data and the tools we use as Canadian geospatial professionals come from the federal government.
As a GIS tech, there were times when it felt like I was on GeoGratis and GeoBase every day grabbing data for client projects. Using those platforms, most of my interactions with NRCan came in the form of acquiring data. But later in my career, I watched as groups like GeoConnections was formed to fund projects and innovations in our sector. I also watched investment in facilities like the Inuvik receiving station. Early on, I could see that the government was doing a lot more than just "data", but I could never really grasp how much more there was to it. Now, with the help of the folks at the CCMEO, I'm going to try to address that.
Through interviews and discussions, I will explore, what I hope you will agree, are some interesting Canadian geomatics subjects. If you have ideas about subjects you want me to explore in the future, let me know in the comments below.
When I started talking to NRCan, I started with what excited me and what I did not understand about what the CCMEO does.
Why does it do certain projects and not others? What does the CCMEO actually do on a daily basis? Who are the people that work there?
It was unsurprising to me that in a meeting or two with NRCan we were able to come up with at least 30 stories that would be interesting to tell. For now, we are going to try to explore around ten topics.
Proposed Article Topics:
What is the purpose of the CCMEO?
The future of Canada's DEM.
What are the "Top Ten" most popular data sets produced and managed by the federal government?
Describe geomatics job opportunities at the CCMEO and across government.
What is the Canadian Geomatics Accord?
Explain the evolution of GeoBase and GeoGratis to Open Maps.
What is the GEODE (data cube) project?
How does CCMEO support other departments with geomatics?
What are CCMEO emergency geomatics services and what do they do?
What products does the CCMEO provide, other than data?
What is GeoConnections today?
This effort to communicate the value and effort provided by the CCMEO on behalf of Canadians is important. The CCMEO sits at a nexus of people, data, technology, and standards that, at the very least, influences many aspects of geomatics in Canada. Any attempt to understand the Canadian geomatics sector requires an understanding of how the federal goverment is involved in the sector.
Over the next few months, I will be sitting down with specialists and scientists to discuss, not only the topics above, but more. I hope that you will follow along on this journey of discovery.
To set the table for the feast of Canadian geomatics stories I am starting at the top. I am sitting down with Prashant Shukle, Director General at the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO) at NRCan. I will be asking him what is the CCMEO and how does it serve Canada and Canadians? I hope you are hungry. We have a lot to get through over the coming months.
One final note. The CCMEO and NRCan are involved internationally, helping direct and manage global geospatial policy standards. To get a glimpse into one of the ways they do that have a look at this recent article by Steven Ramage a geospatial policy and strategy expert discussing a little bit of Canada's involvement at the United Nations.

Karen Pasqual says:
What a great idea for a series of articles. I've used GeoGratis for years but never really understood how it was all put together. Never heard of the CCMEO thing. I'm hooked now.

Q: Does exiting NodeJS main process causes all child processes to exist as well I'm creating a cluster in nodejs application & at some point I'll need to close all the child process(the cluster workers). I was wondering if calling process.exit(0) on the master process would be enough to close them all. I tried it & it's seems to work but I want to make sure that this wouldn't cause a memory leak of some kind

A: The child_process will continue even if node does not, see below:
NODE:
child_process.exec("sleep 20")
process.exit(0)

BASH:
ps aux | grep "sleep 20"

OUTPUT:
USERNAME       PID   CPU  MEM  VSZ    RSS TT  S     STARTED   TIME sleep 20

The sleep 20 is still shown as running.

Trans Man's Hysterectomy Cancelled Minutes Before Surgery
Oliver Knight is suing a Catholic hospital in Northern California after it cancelled his hysterectomy on the basis of an 'Ethics Assessment' by a reverend with no medical background.
News 25 March, 2019 . Written by Cassia Gaden Gilmartin.
Oliver Knight, a transgender man, is suing a Catholic hospital in Northern California after it cancelled his hysterectomy just minutes before the surgery was due to begin.
Knight was due to undergo the procedure on August 30, 2017, at St Joseph Hospital in Eureka, California. He did not want to travel for his hysterectomy, feeling that travel would increase the burden on himself and his family, and had chosen St Joseph simply because it was the only hospital in the area.
He had already experienced discrimination at the hospital prior to the cancellation of his surgery, with hospital staff misgendering him and telling him to wear a pink gown rather than a blue one because he was having "female" surgery.
After he had gone through three hours of pre-operative procedures, his surgeon, Deepak Stokes, arrived to inform him that the surgery was cancelled and would not be rescheduled.
When Knight asked Stokes whether the surgery had been cancelled because he was transgender, the surgeon said yes. Although the Catholic Church opposes "direct sterilisation," Knight's lawsuit states, the hospital regularly allows hysterectomies to be performed on cisgender women as a treatment for a variety of conditions.
The lawsuit points to Knight's medical records, which show that the decision to cancel his hysterectomy was made following an 'Ethics Assessment' by David Groe, a reverend with no medical training.
The decision was in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding gender identity. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that "'Sex change' is biologically impossible. People who undergo sex reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. … Claiming that this is a civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder."
Knight had a panic attack when he heard that the surgery was cancelled, and was treated with anti-anxiety medication. Fifteen minutes later he was asked to leave and, according to the lawsuit, "was required to sit outside the Hospital alone, under the influence of medication administered by the Hospital, and experiencing a panic attack, until he was able to secure a ride home."
"I still had booties on my feet as a nurse led me outside," Knight has said. "I felt humiliated and queasy as I sat on the curb waiting for my roommate to pick me up."
Attorney Jessica Riggin, a partner at Rukin Hyland & Riggin LLP, has said it was "discriminatory" for St Joseph Hospital to cancel the surgery. "This is a hospital that is open to the general public so even though it's religiously affiliated, it's illegal for them to turn away someone based on gender identity," Riggin says.
Knight has since had a hysterectomy at Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata. He has had to deal with "a lot of anti-trans bigotry," he says, but did not expect such treatment from a hospital. As well as filing the lawsuit, he has written a blog post for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on his experience at St Joseph.
"It seems the hospital doesn't understand how it feels to be treated inhumanely just because your body parts do not match your soul," he says.

The objective of this thesis is to develop a method by which antimicrobials are delivered into a food product as a concentrated dose to the specific area in which the microorganism is growing without interference from the food matrix. More specifically, we plan to achieve this by delivering the antimicrobials nisin and lysozyme attached to nanoparticles and emulsion droplets. We hypothesize that (a) the attachment to a delivery vessel may increase the local concentration of the antimicrobial in the vicinity of the bacterial pathogens and (b) that the size and charge of the nanoparticle following attachment of the antimicrobials will be critical to its efficacy against pathogens. This thesis is designed to test this hypothesis using silver nanoparticles with well defined sizes and surface chemistry that allow control over the loading of the particle and oil droplets to which nisin is a secondary layer attached to pork gelatin which acts as the primary emulsifier.

Spin war eine in den Vereinigten Staaten erscheinende Musikzeitschrift, die von 1985 bis 2012 im Monatsrhythmus erschien. Gründer und erster Herausgeber des Titels war Bob Guccione junior, der Sohn des Penthouse-Gründers Bob Guccione. Der Themenschwerpunkt der Zeitschrift lag auf Rock- und Popmusik. Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, die 1987 beinahe zur Einstellung geführt hätten, entwickelte sich das Blatt zu einem der wichtigsten Konkurrenten der US-Ausgabe des Rolling Stone. 1997 wurde Spin für 45 Millionen US-Dollar an die Herausgeber des Magazins Vibe verkauft. 2006 wurde das Magazin an die McEvoy Group LLC aus San Francisco weiterverkauft. Die Auflage des im Monatsrhythmus erscheinenden Blatts lag zu dieser Zeit bei etwa 500.000 Exemplaren.

Nach einem weiteren Verkauf im Jahr 2012 wurde das gedruckte Magazin eingestellt. Seitdem existiert nur noch die Online-Version.

KKFI Crossroads Music Fest 2019
The fire rages on for the powerhouse trio from Kansas, Split Lip Rayfield (SLR), as they celebrate the release of their new record, "I'll Be Around." The new album showcases the songwriting talents of mandolin player Wayne Gottstine and banjo player Eric Mardis, tied together by the harmony and deep-bass licks of Jeff Eaton. Such songs as "Aces High," "Heart of Darkness," and "The High Price of Necromancy" will take listeners on a journey of love, loss, change, and dark powers, as they discover what lies in the mysterious minds of SLR. The song for which the album is named, "I'll Be Around," serves as a tribute to the band's fallen teammate Kirk Rundstrom, whose influence on the band and its path was great. Rundstrom's legacy continues to live on in the new album and also the band itself as every live show is dedicated to his memory. Split Lip Rayfield has carved out their own genre of music with their unique sound and instrumentation. Often described as a mix of bluegrass and country with an accent of metal, no other band delivers the experience of the homemade gas-tank bass played by Jeff Eaton, sets the mandolin strings on fire like Wayne Gottstine, or makes the banjo sing like Eric Mardis. Together, they burn up speakers and stages alike providing an unforgettable experience.

Why does CrossFit get results fast?
Intensity is one of the keys to getting fit, fast. It is also a highly prized element of health. Fitness experts recommend working out super hard for a short amount of time to get the best health results. The more vigorously you exercise the less time you have to train.
What does this mean? Functional training refers to training that can be transferred to every day life. For example a squat movement is similar to sitting down and standing up. A deadlift is a great way to learn how to safely pick something up off the ground and put it down. An overhead press is need if you want to place an object overhead like placing your luggage in the overhang compartment in an airplane.
Have you ever found yourself getting bored at the gym or getting bored of your workout routine? Well, CrossFit workouts are constantly varied which means you almost never do the same workout twice. This means you will not get bored at training and will always be interested in the workout!
In CrossFit you are constantly learning, reaching goals and striving to be fitter. There is always some aspect of your fitness you can improve on and therefore you always have a goal in sight. Reaching goals not only keeps you motivated but helps improve your confidence so you feel really good about yourself. You achieve things you never thought you would and see real change and improvement in your life.
CrossFit is a real challenge for those who are willing to put in the work. You learn a lot about your body, health, nutrition and movement. You start to see the battle modern day living is waging on your health. No one said it was going to be easy, but it's worth the challenge to feel healthy and strong.
Finally CrossFit fosters a community of like minded people who are with you day in, day out spurring you on to succeed. They workout with you, feel the same pain and intensity during a workout as you do and therefore have a special camaraderie with you and your CrossFit group. It's easy to be friends with like minded people who genuinely want to see you succeed and do your best like you do them!
