Q: Simple question about Taylor expansion of Dirichlet's eta function validity Consider the Taylor expansion of Dirchlet $\eta(s)$ at the point $s_0= \frac{1}{2} + it_0$  when using the classical representation of eta as $$\eta(s)= \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n^{s}},$$ what is the disk for which the Taylor expansion of the former expression would be valid?
I don't want to use any functional definition of $\eta$ or any relation to $\zeta$, just expanding the former definition.
My understanding is since this expression of $\eta(s)$ converges for $\Re(s)>0$ and this is the expression used on the Taylor expansion, the result will be valid on the open disk centered at $t_0$ and with radius $\frac{1}{2}$, because bigger radios would traverse the area of convergence of the given serie.
Is this correct? Am I missing anything else ?

A: Since $\eta$ is an entire function, the Taylor series about $s_0$ converges (to $\eta(s)$) on the whole plane.
Generally, if $U \subset \mathbb{C}$ is open, and $f$ holomorphic on $U$, the Taylor series of $f$ about $z_0 \in U$ converges (to $f$) on the every disk centred at $z_0$ that is contained in $U$. For $U = \mathbb{C}$, that means the Taylor series of $f$ about any point converges everywhere. For $U \subsetneqq \mathbb{C}$, there is a largest disk $D_1$ centred at $z_0$ that is contained in $U$. It can be that the (open) disk of convergence $D_2$ of the Taylor series is strictly larger than $D_1$. Then the Taylor series gives an analytic continuation of $f$ across part of the boundary of $U$. Note that in this case the Taylor series need not represent $f$ on all of $U \cap D_2$, this is only guaranteed to hold on the connected component of $z_0$ in $U \cap D_2$. A simple example of this phenomenon is given by the logarithm. Let $U = \mathbb{C}\setminus \{ t \in \mathbb{R} : t \leqslant 0\}$, and $f$ the principal branch of the logarithm. The Taylor series of $f$ about $z_0 = -2 + i$ has radius of convergence $\sqrt{5}$ (the distance from $z_0$ to the branch point $0$), but it only represents $f$ on the part of that disk contained in the upper half-plane. On $\{ z : \lvert z - z_0\rvert < \sqrt{5}, \operatorname{Im} z < 0\}$ the Taylor series converges to $f(z) + 2\pi i$.


Incredible post. Articles that have significant and savvy remarks are more agreeable, at any rate to me. It's fascinating to peruse what other individuals thought and how it identifies with them or their customers, as their point assignment crux help of view could help you later on.


What is diversity? Why is diversity valued?
Diversity is more than just race or gender. Diversity is the describes the similarities and differences that people have in their behaviors, dress style, language, religion, and culture. America has a lot of diversity in it. Diversity is valued for many reasons. First, being that the world would be a dull place if it did not contain diversity and everyone behaved, and dressed the same way and had the same traditions, religion, and culture. I value diversity because I think it is cool to learn about new cultures and traditions even if I don't plan on adopting those cultures and traditions.
What is ethnocentrism? In what ways can ethnocentrism be detrimental to a society?
Emigration means to leave the area that you live in and move to another area and this is usually permanent unless one finds a reason to move again later on. Immigration means to move to an area and not just any area but an area that you are not native to and you plan on becoming a member or citizen of that area. This usually is defined when people to other countries permanently. This happens for many reasons like economic prosperity and other factors similar to that.
What are some of the ways groups of people are identified?
There are many ways that groups of people are identified. People are identified by their race and gender mainly. But people are also identified by their religion, culture, or ethnic background as well. Sometimes identifying people by certain things can be a good or bad thing. It just depends how it is said or gone about, the tone of it.
Why do people label and group other people?
People label and group other people because that is how they identify them. For example, if I were to be describing a suspect to a cop I would identify him or her by their race, skin tone, hair and eye color, or certain facial features that they have. It makes it easier for people to label and group other people when they are trying to describe or identify them. But just like identifying labeling and grouping other people can be a good or bad thing depending on the circumstance.
Define culture. Is culture limited to racial and ethnic backgrounds? Explain.
Culture refers to one's religious beliefs, behaviors, ethnic background, and traditions. It is usually passed down from generation to generation. You grow up in a culture that your guardians have chosen to have. But you can choose what your culture is. People usually keep within the culture they are raised in and grow up keeping the same culture. Culture is not limited to racial and ethnic backgrounds because culture is made up of more than that. It also includes the things I mentioned above.

Q: How to compare two different commits on the same branch in github? Comparing histories on the same branch is very confusing for me on GitHub. I struggle with this regularly:
If I use compare/master in the URL after the GitHub repo name, I can compare against other branches in the repo based on the options in the drop-down menus.
https://help.github.com/en/articles/comparing-commits-across-time
However, I usually want to compare several commits on master.
How is this easily done? Could I get a more clear example?

A: The article you linked has instructions for comparing commits.
The GitHub comparison tool will accept any revision. Branches, tags, commit IDs, even dates. If you want to compare between two commits, give it the commit IDs. Here's their example.

A: TLDR: Just add /compare at the end of the URL.
You can use the Github Compare UI, which will generate the URL for you. Replace ORG and REPO with your values. The UI only lists branches, but you can also type in any valid Tags (e.g. v1.0.0) or Commit IDs (e.g. 1a2b3c).
https://github.com/ORG/REPO/compare/

The URLs that get generated are in this format. You can also manually edit the URL with the REFs.
https://github.com/ORG/REPO/compare/REF1...REF2
You can also use "2 dots" (direct diff) instead of "3 dots" (diff from last common commit). Same as git diff A..B vs git diff A...B.
https://github.com/ORG/REPO/compare/REF1..REF2
If you want to compare across forks, then you need to add ORG2:
https://github.com/ORG/REPO/compare/REF1...ORG2:REF2
There is documentation, but I didn't think it was that clear: https://help.github.com/en/github/committing-changes-to-your-project/comparing-commits-across-time

A: You can use the following URL structure to compare commits in the same branch:
github.com/<username>/<repo_name>/compare/<commit1>...<commit2>

Replace values for username, repo_name, commit1(old commit) & commit2(new commit) acc. to your project.
The separator between the two commits is ... i.e. 3 dots.

A: to see the difference between branches or tags
(branches if no pull request has been made)

*

*https://github.com/PyCQA/mccabe/compare/bug/39...master (diff between two branches bug/39and master)

*https://github.com/PyCQA/mccabe/compare/0.6.0...0.6.1 (diff between two tags)

*https://github.com/PyCQA/mccabe/compare/0.6.1...master (diff between tag and master)

Notes:

*

*(if a pull request has been made you can see the changes inside the PR, no longer via the compare url)

*You can use the dropdowns to select different branches or tags:

*take care of the order, eg. https://github.com/PyCQA/mccabe/compare/master...0.6.1 will give no results

*you can choose between 2-dot (..) or 3-dot (...) notation
to see the difference between commits:

*

*https://github.com/PyCQA/mccabe/compare/55942cb...HEAD

*https://github.com/PyCQA/mccabe/compare/55942cb...e92e9e7

A: Just go to https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/compare to achive the comparing page

A: Custom tabs.
Peeps, we can add a compare "custom tab" to the repository, so that we can quickly access this compare tooling.
Here is how.

*

*Goto your repo landing page. https://github.com/<YOUR_ORG_NAME/<YOUR_REPO_NAME>

*Click the "Settings" tab.

*Click on "Custom tabs".

*Fill in the "New tab" name.

*Fill in the URL for compare.
https://github.com/<YOUR_ORG_NAME>/<YOUR_REPO_NAME>/compare

*Click the "Add tab" button

Now go to your repo landing page and you should now see your newly created custom tab along side the other default tabs (Pull requests, Settings and such)

A: If you need to compare changes within a branch but on different dates, this is how you can do it:
https://github.com/<ORG_NAME>/<REPO_NAME>/compare/HEAD..HEAD@{4 weeks ago}
https://github.com/<ORG_NAME>/<REPO_NAME>/compare/HEAD@{1 week ago}..HEAD@{2021-06-01}

KAfe accused of delaying debt payment

As Gia Tuong Company makes claim, KAfe says amount of debt is still to be settled.

Vietnamese F&B startup the KAfe Group has been accused by the Gia Tuong Company of delaying debt repayments of more than VND4 billion ($179,000).
"We have sent written documents and made phone calls to ask the CEO of KAfe, Ms. Dao Chi Anh, to work on resolving the debts but have received no response," Gia Tuong told local media.
A representative from KAfe confirmed with VET that it has debts with Gia Tuong after the two companies ceased their cooperation earlier this year. "The debts have not been paid as the two parties have failed to agree on the amount," she said. "Gia Tuong has not cooperated with KAfe in clarifying the debt."
KAfe is working with local authorities to resolve the issue legally as soon as possible. "Solving problems arising from disputed debts is not complicated if there is cooperation from both sides," KAfe's representative said, while acknowledging that it has made many personnel changes. "These changes have created difficulties for the two parties in resolving the debts," she added.
Gia Tuong's accusations were focused on Ms. Dao Chi Anh, claiming that "Ms. Anh has neglected the debts", even though KAfe's representative has contacted Gia Tuong many times in an effort to resolve the problem.
Founded in 2013, the KAfe Group Limited was the first urban fusion cafe chain in Vietnam offering fresh, affordable, and quality international casual dining for affluent consumers.
It secured a $5.5 million Cassia Investments-led Series A funding arrangement in October last year and acquired local cupcake chain Mint Cupcakes Creations (MCC) early this year.
The company currently operates 19 outlets in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City under four brands - The KAfe, KAfe Village, KAfe Box, and The Burger Box, as well as its beverage merchandise The KAfe Cup, The KAfe Pressed, and MCC.
This year the Group plans to continue to expand the KAfe chain to more cities while providing new models like Burger Box, KAfe Box, and Mint in Ho Chi Minh City.

The Palladium Group The Palladium Group Full Time The Palladium Group xxxxxxx xxxxxxx, 12th July 2019 Medical & Health
Palladium is a global leader in the design, development and delivery of Positive Impact – the intentional creation of enduring social and economic value. We work with foundations, investors, governments, corporations, communities and civil society to formulate strategies and implement solutions that generate lasting social, environmental and financial benefits.
For the past 50 years, we have been making Positive Impact possible. With a team of more than 2,500 employees operating in 90 plus countries and a global network of more than 35,000 technical experts, Palladium has improved – and is committed to continuing to improve – economies, societies and most importantly, people's lives.
Palladium is a child-safe organisation, and screens applicants for suitability to work with children. We also provide equal employment to all participants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran or marital status.
Project Overview and Role
Health Policy Plus (HP+) is a USAID-funded, five-year, $185 million project awarded to Palladium (formerly Futures Group) on August 28, 2015. HP+ has a mandate across global, country, and subnational levels to strengthen and advance health policy priorities in HIV, family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), and maternal health. It aims to improve the enabling environment for equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems through policy development and implementation, with an emphasis on voluntary, rights-based health programs, and by strengthening in-country partners' capacity to navigate complex environments for effective policy design, implementation, and financing aligned to their priorities. We carry forward proven approaches to preserve achievements. These approaches inform how we manage programs and engage with stakeholders, and tools and techniques improve decision making and the achievement of predetermined goals.
Under predecessor USAID- and other donor-funded projects, Palladium and its partners have worked for several years with Mozambican partners and stakeholders to improve the enabling environment for HIV; FP/RH; and maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH). In the past decade, Palladium (as Futures Group) led the USAID global Health Policy Initiative (HPI, 2005-2010) and Health Policy Project (HPP, 2010-2015). The latter was active in Mozambique and several other East and Southern African countries. HPP Mozambique collaborated with USAID and the Government of the Republic of Mozambique (GOM) Ministry of Health (MISAU) from December 2012 to August 2016 on a field program that supported RMNCAH (Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child, and Adolescent Health) costing, modeling, gender, advocacy, and capacity strengthening experience.
USAID/Mozambique has requested that Palladium, under the new HP+ project, to support the government of Mozambique and the Ministry of Health (MISAU) to attain its family planning goals by supporting the government to develop country-owned, government-led national costed implementation plans (CIPs) for family planning. A CIP is a multi-year roadmap that identifies evidence-based strategies and approaches for improving family planning programs, and estimates the costs of implementing those strategies. All components of a family planning program–demand, service delivery and access, procurement and supply chain, policy and enabling environment, financing and resource mobilization, supervision, and monitoring and evaluation–are addressed and budgeted for in the CIP. A CIP can also address other issues, such as equity–helping to ensure that marginalized and underserved populations, including adolescents and people living in rural areas, are included when family planning information and services are scaled up. A CIP can also outline the roles and responsibilities of each organization involved in implementation, which minimizes duplication of efforts and increases accountability.
HP+ is seeking the services of a consultant to provide technical assistance (TA) to MISAU to develop a national costed implementation plans (CIPs) for family planning in Mozambique. The TA will be expected to develop and finalize a 5-year CIP for Mozambique, including each of the following components
FP Landscape Analysis (already drafted)
Narrative of the technical strategy
Detailed matrix of FP activities to be implemented from 2020-2025
Cost estimates for the activities described in matrix
Estimates of Impacts of the CIP using the Impact Now, Demographic Dividend, or similar model
The consultant will work under the direction of the Mozambique Country Activity Manager and will coordinate closely with an established CIP Technical Support Team (TST), consisting of HP+ staff in Mozambique and Washington DC. The consultant's responsibilities will be as follows:
Provide technical support to the CIP TST – including both DC and Mozambique-based staff – in the development of CIP deliverables
Lead the development of the CIP Technical Strategy, including; finalization of the FP landscape; development of method mix projections and associated commodity requirements; creation of a detailed activity matrix (according to a template provided by HP+); and development of a CIP map
Following the development of CIP activity costs by HP+ staff, review these costs to ensure they are in line with the technical strategy
Liase with HP+ modeling team to incorporate an impact analysis of the CIP, using a tool such as ImpactNow or the FP-SDG tool
Draft and finalize the CIP narrative following the HP+ style guide
Duration of Assignment
The consultant/organization will produce the deliverables described below for an estimated total of 60 days from July 2019 to October 2019. The dates for each deliverable are stipulated below. Drafts will be reviewed by the HP+ team and comments/suggestions will be provided to the consultant/organization. The consultant/organization will make any adjustments to the products and provide the final draft by the stipulated due date for each deliverable.
All deliverables must be approved by the technical monitor(s). Multiple drafts may need to be submitted before the technical monitor approves the deliverable.
The consultant/organization is expected to produce the following high quality deliverables:
Costed Implementation Plan including a list of detailed activities to be implemented

Q: Efficient way of handling percentile chance of event in programmatic way I am developing a small app like game, I have done this before and still not sure if it was the correct way to do it. What I need is percentile chance of some event, for example gaining an item after win 10% chance.
I have been using random number generator each time on server side, if number is <= 10 then user will gain reward, but it still does not satisfy 10% criteria across the all users environment.
I was thinking about recording user's turn number on server side and reward an item every nth time, but don't know if it's right way to do it. I would like to know about your ideas of doing it and suggestions. Also I did not know if stackoverflow is right place to post this or any other community of stackexchange group. If so please guide me in comment and I'll move question in appropriate community. Thanks.

A: There are two completely different things that you mention in your question.  You have to decide which you want because a given algorithm cannot do both.

*

*Every single time you try, there is a 10% chance.  You might see it hit two in a row and then it might not hit for 200 tries.  But, in the long run, it hits 10% of the time.

*You are guaranteeing that out of every 10 tries, it will hit exactly once, never more, never less.
The first one above just fine with a proper random number pick and comparison.  But, you will get streaks of more hits than expected and fewer hits than expected.  Over time, the average number of hits will be your 10%.
function getRandomTenPercentOutcome() {
    return Math.random() < 0.1;
}

The second one requires a more complicated implementation that combines a random generator with keeping track of recent events.  The simplest way to implement a guaranteed 1 in 10 hit is to have the server create an filled with zeroes and then randomly select one cell in the array and change it to a 1.
Then, as you need to pick a random outcome, you .shift() off the first item in the array and use that value.  When the array becomes empty, you create a new one.  This forces exactly 1 in 10 outcomes (starting from the beginning) to hit.  Any given 10 outcomes might have 2 or 0 as you cross boundaries of creating a new array, but can't ever be further off than that.
You can make the array be either system-wide (one array for all users) or per-user (each user has their own outcome array).  If you want each user to perceive that it is very close to 1 in 10 for them personally, then you would need to make a separate outcome array for each user.
The length of the array can be adjusted to control how much variance you want to allow.  For example, you could create an array 50 long and randomly select 5 cells in the array.  That would allow more variability within the 50, though would still force 5 hits within the 50.

Both methods will average 10% in the long run.  The first may have greater deviations from 10% over any given interval, but will be much more random.  The second has much smaller deviations from 10% but some would say it is less random (which is not necessarily bad - depends upon your objective).  Both are "fair".
I know from my son's gaming that he perceives things to be "unfair" when a streak of unlikely things happen even though that streak is well within the occasionally expected results from a series of random events.  So, sometimes truly random may not seem as fair to a participant due to the occasionally sporadic nature of truly random.

A: This questions seems to have been asked for multiple languages in other stackoverflow pages.
For example here it is for Java: Java: do something x percent of the time
Check out the link for some ideas, but remember that it will tend to 10% of the time eventually given a large sample, you cant expect 10% immediately for just a couple of calls.
I do agree rewarding an item every nth time is not the way to go.


It must have been satisfying to look back and make your selection! Buon Anno a te.
The Venetian part certainly was a delight, I cannot deny. Auguri di Buon Anno anche a te!!!
Thank you so much for following belgianstreets, because that meant I came to take a look at your site and your work is breathtaking!
And I thank you for such kind words! Your photos are wonderfully poetic. Im happy I was lucky enough to find your site.

2016 USMB National Convention overview
Future Story approved, Morris installed, format changed
By Connie Faber
The 2016 U.S. Mennonite Brethren National Convention, held July 29-30 at The Westin Westminster in Westminster, Colo., was all about change.
New strategy: The Future Story, a new national ministry strategy, was unveiled Saturday morning and that afternoon delegates affirmed the plan to focus on three core commitments and to utilize a grassroots approach to ministry, with the local congregation as the focus of national efforts.
New job title: Launching a new vision includes appointing a new lead USMB staff member with a new job title. Don Morris, the Mission USA director who also served for the last two years as the interim USMB executive director, was installed Saturday afternoon as the national director (photo right).
New format: The 2016 National Convention also marked a shift in the priorities of the event itself. Past conventions were built around business sessions at which as many as 18 agencies gave oral updates on their work. That didn't happen this year. No oral reports meant fewer business sessions, which created more time for worship sessions and workshops.
While the two Saturday business sessions focused on the Future Story, other business was transacted. Delegates affirmed Marv Schellenberg, a businessman from Wichita, Kan., as the new Leadership Board chair (pictured left with Steve Schroeder who completed his term as chair) and Aaron Box, pastor of North Park Community Church, Eugene, Ore., as the vice chair.
Delegates elected five members to the USMB Leadership Board (incumbent David Hardt, Bakersfield, Calif.; Luke Haidle, Henderson, Neb.; Lianne Nikkel, Littleton, Colo., Boris Borisov, Spokane, Wash.; and Delilah Isaack, Selma, Calif.) and two individuals to the Board of Faith and Life (incumbent Tim Geddert, Fresno, Calif., and David Loewen, Hillsboro, Kan., They affirmed the slate of 11 National Youth Committee members.
They also affirmed the ballot of new members for the MB Mission Board (Archie Eutsler, Wichita, Kan., Kimberlee Jost, Hillsboro, Kan.), MB Foundation (incumbents Randy Hamm, Enid, Okla., Ken Neufeld, Fresno, Calif.) and Historical Commission (incumbents Don Isaac, Hillsboro, Kan., Julia Reimer, Fresno, Calif.)
Delegates gathered around individuals serving on these boards and committees for a time of prayer.
BFL reports on efforts to promote Article 13
The USMB Board of Faith and Life (BFL) was the only ministry to report during the streamlined business sessions. BFL chair Larry Nikkel (pictured right) began by addressing Article 13 of the Confession of Faith. The article was revised in 2014 and includes a strong emphasis on peacemaking. When the revision was approved two years ago, a resolution was made from the floor that BFL would report at the 2016 convention what they had don
e to implement the new article.
Nikkel reported that the board had spent the first year "chasing the idea" of developing new, innovative curriculum focused on Article 13 that they estimated would cost anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000. The board talked with denominations that have published the kind of curriculum BFL was dreaming of creating and quickly learned that the curriculum was not being used. "It was providential that we caught on to this earlier," said Nikkel.
While the curriculum project was shelved, BFL will be inserting a Bible study in the Christian Leader and is adding a BFL pamphlet on the article. BFL has also provided speakers at Fresno Pacific University and Tabor College, the two MB-owned colleges, that addressed peacemaking and encouraged young adults to participate in the 2016 Global Anabaptist Peace Institute co-sponsored by Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary's Center for Anabaptist Studies and West Coast Mennonite Central Committee. The board also developed a blog addressing Article 13 that is managed by Trent Voth.
Nikkel encouraged those present to embrace their Anabaptist/evangelical heritage.
"It's accurate to say that with the Mennonite Brethren family there has been some ambivalence about our blend of Anabaptist and evangelical theology," said Nikkel. "Many others across the country are discovering this mix and are saying: That's what we've been looking for. Let's not abandon this heritage. We need this blend."
Nikkel said, "The gospel mission we are on is not a Mennonite thing; it's a Jesus thing. Let's make the Prince of Peace proud of who we are."
Nikkel also reported that:
BFL circulated a resource guide on how pastors and churches can deal with sexual misconduct.
BFL is researching the status of more than 1,100 resolutions adopted by the General Conference, a conference comprised of the U.S. Conference and Canadian Conference of MB Churches that dissolved in 2000.
BFL is recommending that term limits be set aside for this specific convention, to allow BFL member Tim Geddert to serve another term. Delegates passed the recommendation.
Ministries provide video updates, mealtime reports
The National Youth Committee reported via two brief videos, one that reviewed the 2015 National Youth Conference and a second that highlighted new activities in the area of service and networking among youth workers that the committee anticipates offering.
Tabor College and the International Community of Mennonite Brethren provided video updates.
Mission USA, the church planting and renewal arm of USMB, reported during the Saturday evening session. MB Mission reported during the Friday evening dinner and MB Foundation gave a presentation during the Saturday lunch. Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary reported at lunch on Friday, which was part of the Pastors' Conference.
The hotel hallway (pictured right) outside the ballrooms used for meals and sessions were lined with displays provided by a variety of USMB ministries, partner agencies and inter-Mennonite ministries.
In other business, Leadership Board treasurer David Hardt gave a brief summary of the 2016 budget. District ministers paid tribute to the four active USMB pastors who died during the past two years.
Workshop, worship opportunities expanded
The National Convention schedule included two workshop times. Workshop topics included ministry to Muslims, conflict in the church, mentoring, stewardship, immigration issues and current issues in higher education. The Leadership Board also hosted a question-and-answer workshop about the Future Story.
Convention worship sessions featured keynote speaker Matt Heard (pictured right). His messages focused on the Future Story and incorporated the convention theme, "Press On," as well as the theme Scripture passage, Philippians 3:12-14.
Heard encouraged his listeners to embrace God's call as expressed in the new national ministry strategy. Quoting T.E. Lawrence—"The dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with o
pen eyes, to make it possible"—Heard challenged his listeners to be "dangerous men and women in the New Testament sense of the word."
Referring to the Future Story, Heard said, "Roll up your sleeves. God is about to take you on an amazing ride. He's been pursuing you for such a time as this."
Musicians from The Rock of Southwest served as the convention worship team. Throughout the weekend several pastors shared stories, often highlighting men and women who have come to faith in Jesus Christ through the ministry of the local church.
The Saturday evening program highlighted church planting and concluded with a communion service.
The opening day of the convention included opportunities for delegates to interact. A children's ministry workers social was held Friday afternoon. That evening during a dessert reception held for all delegates and guests, Mennonite Central Committee hosted a gathering for alumni and friends.
Sunday delegates and guests were invited to worship in one of the five area MB churches: Ethiopian Evangelical Church in Aurora, Garden Park MB Church in Denver, Lighthouse Church in Lakewood, The Rock of Southwest or Trailhead Church, both in Littleton.
Convention was a family event
The National Convention and the Pastors' Conference that precedes it are typically intended to be family events, and so activities for children and teens are offered during both events. A total of 50 children and teens were registered, the largest number of children and youth since 2000, the last time the biennial gatherings were held in the Denver area.
Stan and Renee Lawson from Ethiopian Evangelical Church, a USMB congregation in Denver, led the preschool and children's groups. Two summer EEC interns, Nathan Bamaw and Lewis Watkins, assisted the Lawsons during the Pastors' Conference; Joanne and Tena Loewen, from Hillsboro, Kan., assisted during the National Convention.
An average of 30 kids ages 1 to 11 years participated each day. The children did a VBS curriculum titled Fiesta Fun! that included singing, crafts and activities such as water balloons, searching for "Fluffy," a dead mackerel, and a Beta fish giveaway. The children also went swimming and visited The Butterfly Pavilion, an invertebrate zoo with 5,000 animals on display located next to the zoo (pictured left).
Activities for kids ages 12-16 were led by Zach Reed, a summer intern with First MB Church, Wichita, Kan. The 12 youth enjoyed morning devotions together followed by activities including games, going to an area park, swimming, visiting the Butterfly Pavilion and playing at Dave and Buster's, a restaurant and game venue.
Convention attendance, including children, was 263, of which 120 were delegates. This compares to 216 attendees two years ago when the convention was in Santa Clara, Calif., and 298 in 2012 when the biennial event was held in Omaha, Neb.

Malnutrition is always been being associated with the increase of morbidity and mortality rate due to lack of immunesystem, depending on ventilator, high rate of infection, and delayed healing process, so it will increase the cost and length of stayof the patients. Clinician need to have right information about how to manage nutrition for critical ill patient because it willinfluence the outcome of ICU patient.Objective measurement nutritional status of the patient is difficult because process of illnesses itself will disturb themethod that will be used in the population. Nutritional status is multidimension phenomenon that need several methods formeasurement, including associated factors of nutrition, nutrition intake, and energy expenditure.Nitrogen balance can be used to determine effectiveness of nutritional therapy. Nitrogen balance can be counted by formulathat count nitrogen in 24 hours from patch urine, especially urine urea nitrogen (UUN), minus nitrogen intake from the food.Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) must be determined for nutritional therapy in critical ill patients. Acuracy estimation REE willhelp to reduce complications due to overfeeding, such as infiltration fat to liver and pulmonyary compromise. Several methods areavailable to predict REE such as Calorimetry, and Harris-Benedict equation.The goal in nutritional therapy in critical ill patient is to support metabolic, not to complete their need in that time. Becausein critical ill patient there is no metabolic condition is able to metabolize total amount of calories to fulfill lack of energy expenses.Ideally the route of nutritional therapy is able to supply nutrition with minimal morbidity. Each routes (parenteral andenteral) have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice is depend on patient condition. In critical ill patient care, enteralnutrition is always being the first choice and parenteral nutrition become the next alternative.
Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is defined as nosocomial pneumonia that occurred 48 hours afterthe patient had a mechanical ventilation support either from endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube. VAPussually charactherized by 3 component sign of systemic infection: fever, tachycardia and leukocytosisfollowed by new infiltrate sign or a worsening scheme on the chest x ray and bacteriologic findings of thecausal of lung infection, but acctually we can diagnosed a VAP based on the findings of a number ofcriteria: histopathologic examination of the lung tissue from an open biopsy, a fast cavity formation of alung infiltrate without any sign of tuberculosis or malignancy and a positive pleural fluid culture, in whichthe species that found on the blood culture and airway were the same.The insidens of VAP are high, according to the foreign literature approximately between 9 – 27 % from allIntensive Care Unit population. This condition made VAP as the first causal of a nosocomial infection inthe Intensive Care Unit. The mortality rate of VAP is also high, Chastre and Fagon stated that the crudemortality rate can reach of 76%. Early onset VAP which occurred on the first 4th day after admission in theIntensive Care Unit ussually had a better prognosis because of caused by a still antibiotic sensitivepathogens. The Late onset VAP which occurred after 5 days or more after hospitalization, has worseprognosis because of caused by a multidrug resistance (MDR) pathogens. In order to define the pathogensthat caused VAP, some scientist made a classification of VAP patient based on the degree of disease, riskfactor and the onset, which is the group I with mild-moderate degree, common risk factor and the onset isanytime during hospitalization or a severe degree with an early onset, ussually caused by a gram negativebacteria. The group II, patient with a mild-moderate degree, specific risk factor that happened anytimeduring hospitalization, ussually caused by all bacteria in the group I added with an anaerob bacteria. Thegroup III, patient with a severe degree, early onset with specific risk factor or a late onset, ussually caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter sp and MRSA. Other approach is by classifying the bacteriacausing VAP in a primary endogen, secondary and eksogen type.Prevention of VAP can be done by 2 different ways, first by a non pharmachologic way, routine andstandard things that ussually done in the ICU, but this action still could not enough in lowering the insidensof VAP. Second, by a pharmachologic way, Selective Decontamination of the Digestive Tract (SSD) andOropharyngeal Decontamitation (OD). SSD is proven effective empirically in preventing VAP but the usedof antimicrobial can caused a higher risk on resistention. SDD is not recommended as a routine action inpreventing VAP so that OD with the used of antiseptic is preferred as another alternative.
Hiperglycemia and insulin resistance are common in critically ill patients, even that have not previously had diabetes.Though it has been reported that pronounced hyperglycemia may lead to complications in such patients and cause of reactiveoxygen species (ROS) production, although data from controlled trial are still lacking. The debatable issue focused on whetherintensive insulin therapy to normalized blood glucose improves prognosis. The debate is mainly about the time to start therapy,and target of blood glucose level. The main purpose of this research is to know the different between intensive insulin therapy andconventional insulin therapy on decreases of cytokine production (IL-6), increase of albumin level and event of systemic inflammatoryrespons syndrome (SIRS). The design of this study is randomized pre and post control group design involving 40 adultpatients that admitted to the ICU Sanglah hospital Denpasar. They were randomly assigned to receive intensive insulin therapy inwhich blood glucose at the level between 80 ? 110 mg/dL or conventionl insulin therapy in which insulin therapy start if the bloodglucose level exceed 215 mg/dL and blood glucose maintained at the level between 180 ? 200 mg/dL. The results of this studyshowed that: (1) Significant decrease of IL-6 level (10.25 vs 2.02; p=0.023); (2) Significant increase of albumin level (0.62 vs0.22); (3) Significant decrease of SIRS (10 % vs 45%, p=0.000) on intensive insulin therapy group compare to the conventionalinsulin therapy group. Conclusions of this study is that the increase insulin dose as well as intensive insulin therapy can maintainblood glucose level at the level normoglycaemia between 80-110 mg/dL faster compare to the conventional insulin therapy. Onthe otherhand, interleukin-6 decreases cause of decreases ROS production and anti inflammatory effect of insulin. Intensiveinsulin therapy can increase albumin level and decrease of SIRS event on hyperglycemia in critically ill ICU patients compare tothe conventional insulin therapy.
Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are common in critically ill patientsin the ICU, although they have not previously had diabetes. It has been reportedthat pronounced hyperglycemia may lead to complications in such patients, andcause the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, although controlled trial dataare still lacking. The current debatable issue, focusing on whether the intensiveinsulin therapy, aimed at normalizing blood glucose, may improvepatients'prognosis. Then, the debate is mainly about the time to start the therapy,and target of blood glucose level. Therefore, this research is mainly designed andaimed at knowing the difference between intensive insulin therapy andconventional insulin therapy on the increase of superoxide dismutase (SOD),decrease of cytokine production (TNF-? and IL-6), increase of albumin level, andevent of SIRSThis study was carried out in a randomly pre and post-test control groupdesign, involving 40 adult patients being nursed through the ICU Sanglah hospitalDenpasar. They were randomly assigned to receive intensive insulin therapy, inwhich blood glucose was decreased and maintained at the level between 80-110mg/dl, or conventional insulin therapy in which the insulin was infused only if theblood glucose level exceeded 215 mg/dl, decreased and maintained then at thelevel between 180-200 mg/dl.The result of the study showed that there was (1) significant increase ofSOD mean level (370. 70 vs 98.50 U/gHb, p=0.001); (2) no significant decreaseof TNF-? mean level; (3) significant decrease of IL-6 mean level (10.26 vs 2.25;p=0.023); (4) significant increase of albumin mean level ( 0.62 vs 0.22); (5)significant decrease of SIRS (10 % vs 40 %, p=0.000) on intensive insulin therapygroup compared to conventional insulin therapy group. It can be concluded thatintensive insulin therapy could maintain blood glucose level between 80 – 110mg/dl, increase SOD level, decrease IL-6 level, increase albumin level, anddecrease SIRS on hyperglycemia in critically ill ICU patients.
Oksitosin merupakan obat yang rutin diberikan setelah kelahiran bayi pada seksio sesarea untukmemulai dan mempertahankan kontraksi uterus adekuat tetapi efek samping kardiovaskulardiketahui muncul setelah pemberian intravena seperti takikardi, hipotensi dan disritmia. Hal iniakibat efek relaksasi otot polos vaskular yang menyebabkan penurunan resistensi vaskular sistemik,hipotensi, dan takikardia. Besarnya efek ini tergantung dosis dan cara pemberiannya. Tujuan penelitianini adalah membandingkan kontraksi uterus, tekanan arteri rerata (TAR), dan laju nadi setelahoksitosin bolus 3, 5, dan 10 IU pada seksio sesarea dengan anestesi blok subaraknoid.

Simpulanpenelitian ini bahwa oksitosin bolus 3 IU menghasilkan keadekuatan kontraksi uterus yang sama,penurunan TAR dan peningkatan laju nadi lebih kecil dibandingkan oksitosin bolus 5 dan 10 IU padaseksio sesarea dengan anestesi blok subaraknoid.
Background: A cell injury from surgical stress in a trauma or a non-trauma case will induce a hyper metabolic response in which the protein degradation increases, the somatic protein synthesis decreases and the amino acid catabolism increases. Thus, the pyper metabolic response contributes to nitrogen loss in urine. This response, without an adequate nutrition, will lead an iatrogenic malnutrition and deterioration. A balance nitrogen formula through urinary urea nitrogen is one of many nutrition evaluation methods. This method aids in evaluating the daily nutrition status and it can be the baseline data for daily intake. Objective: To find a correlation between the protein intake and the nitrogen balance of the surgical patients in anesthesiology and intensive care installation, Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. Methods: Fifty-one surgical patients with trauma and non-trauma cases were observed for their protein intake for 2-3 days continuously. Moreover, they were evaluated for their nitrogen balance based on the urinary urea nitrogen per 24 hours for 2-3 days. For statistical analysis, we utilized Shapiro-Francia, Shapiro-Wilk, Spearman Frank correlation, two-sample t test, and multivariate regression analysis in Strata SE 12.1. Results: The correlation between the protein intake and the nitrogen balance on the first day was ra=0.50 (p<0.05), on the second day ra=0.70 (p<0,05), and on the third day ra=0.740 (p<0,05) Conclusions: There is a correlation between the protein intake and the nitrogen balance of surgical patients in Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Installation Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar.
Background: Cost minimization analysis is a pharmaco-economic study used to compare two or more health interventions that have been shown to have the same effect, similar or equivalent. With limited health insurance budget from the Indonesian National Social Security System implementation in 2015, the quality control and the drug cost are two important things that need to be focused. The application of pharmaco-economic study results in the selection and use of drugs more effectively and efficiently. Objective: To determine cost minimization analysis of hypnotic drug between a target controlled inhalation anesthesia (TCIA) sevoflurane and a target controlled infusion (TCI) propofol in patients underwent a major oncologic surgery in Sanglah General Hospital. Methods: Sixty ASA physical status I-II patients underwent major oncologic surgery were divided into two groups. Group A was using TCIA sevoflurane and group B using TCI propofol. Bispectral index monitor (BIS index) was used to evaluate the depth of anesthesia. The statistical tests used are the Shapiro-Wilk test, Lavene test, Mann- Whitney U test and unpaired t-test (? = 0.05). The data analysis used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows. Results: In this study, the rate of drug used per unit time in group A was 0.12 ml sevoflurane per minute (± 0.03) and the group B was 7.25 mg propofol per minute (±0.98). Total cost of hypnotic drug in group A was IDR598.43 (IQR 112.47) per minute, in group B was IDR703.27 (IQR 156.73) per minute (p>0.05). Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference from the analysis of the drug cost minimization hypnotic drug in a major oncologic surgery using TCIA sevoflurane and TCI propofol.


The Adams County Juvenile Court Services will ensure the safety of the coummunity and the well-being and saftey of the youths under Juvenile department care, we will hold juvenile offenders accountable to victims and communities, and assist youths in developing competency and character to aid them in becoming successful members of society. All youths will become self-sufficient productive adults.
If a juvenile offender has an offense and/or criminal history that necessitates a greater sentence then community supervision, a sentence committing the youth to an extended period at the state Juvenile Rehabilitation Association (JRA) is imposed. The juvenile is transported out of the area to serve their sentence of a minimum of 31 days and can be held until 21 years of age. JRA is a Washington State Institution.
Detention is a crucial early phase in the juvenile court process. Placement into a locked detention center pending court significantly increases the odds that youth will be found delinquent and committed to correction facilities and can seriously damage their prospects for future success. Yet many detained youth pose little to no threat to public safety, therefore, the programs listed below are our alternatives to detention.
Community Service Juveniles learn practical skills and personal responsibility while giving back to the community. Our department helps to keep our county clean and helps youth gain a sense of pride for where they live. The Community Service Department has work crews that take care of litter and graffiti clean up for the entire county. For any questions regarding Community Service please contact Edgar Vega edgarv@co.adams.wa.us.
Girls Circle Structured support group for girls from ages 14-18 aiming to counteract social and interpersonal forces that impede growth and development by promoting an emotionally safe setting where they can develop caring relationships with others and be their own voice. Questions regarding Girls Circle please contact Benny Medina bennym@co.adams.wa.us.
Boys Council Support group for about 6-10 boys of similar age that engage in activities that address relevant topics and reflection on life events. This program provides resiliency and youth development practices and concepts. Questions regarding Boys Council please contact Benny Medina bennym@co.adams.wa.us.
Strengthening Families Program designed for the well-being of entire families. It is structured to facilitate both parents and youth to strengthen healthy relationships. The program enables the foundation of finding a balance between love and limits. For any questions regarding the programs listed above please contact Benny Medina bennym@co.adams.wa.us Lazaro Martinez lazarom@co.adams.wa.us.
Under state law a juvenile cannot miss 4 days of school in a month or 10 days of school in a school year unexcused. When a juvenile fails to attend school without an excuse, they are considered truant. A Community Truancy Board (CTB) petition is created and the juvenile is given school attendance recommendations by the CTB. If the Juvenule is unsuccessful with the CTB recommendations a truancy petition is then generated by the School District and forwarded to juvenile court. If a juvenile is found truant after the truancy petition has been completed they must appear before a juvenile court judge for disciplinary sentencing.

Q: Why are asterisks needed for array variable? Looking at the code segment down below, array in C language is already a pointer saving the address of the first element of the array, so why the asterisk is needed for argv variable?
char *argv[3];

argv[0] = "echo";
argv[1] = "hello";
argv[2] = 0;
exec("/bin/echo", argv);
printf("exec error\n");

A: argv is an array of pointers to char. So argv[0] is a char*, as is argv[1], and so on.
You read the type from highest-precedence operator outwards from the name being declared. Since [] (array operator) has higher precedence than * (indirection), you read it as:

*

*argv

*...is an array ([])

*...of pointers (*)

*...to char.

A: This array declaration
char *argv[3];

declares an array with 3 elements of the type char *. That is elements of the array are pointers and these pointers (except the last) are assigned with addresses of first characters of string literals
argv[0] = "echo";
argv[1] = "hello";
argv[2] = 0;

To make it more clear you could declare the array for example the following way
char * ( argv[3] );

or
char * ( argv )[3];

Or for example using a typedef
typedef char * T;
T argv[3];

And the assignments can look like
argv[0] = &"echo"[0];
argv[1] = &"hello"[0];
argv[2] = NULL;

A:
array in C language is already a pointer

No, it "decays" to a pointer to the first item when used in most expressions. That doesn't make an array a pointer.
But in this case that's completely irrelevant, since the purpose is to create an array of pointers (to string literals).

A: Arrays in C aren't actually pointers, but in many cases decay to a pointer to the first element in the array.
In this case, argv is an array of char *.  So each array element can hold a pointer to the start of a string.

A: char *argv[3] is an array of 3 char pointers.
To put it another way, char *arg would be a single char pointer. A single char pointer could be "hello".
int nums[3] would be an array of 3 numbers. nums[0] could be 1, nums[2] be 2, and nums[2] be 3.
Therefore, char *argv[3] is an array that holds 3 char pointers. It can hold 3 char pointers like in your example.
You could technically use char argv[][] instead, and have an array holding an array of chars. The reason we don't do this is that the lengths of the char arrays are variable, and since array need a strictly-defined size, we'd like run into errors this way. Using pointers allows us to have variable sizes, which is what we want.

Chike George Lindsay-Ajudua (born November 17, 1983) is an American Muay Thai kickboxer who competes in the Middleweight division. Lindsay is the former WKA North American Champion, WBC Muaythai International Champion, and IMTO Super Welterweight Champion.

Background
Lindsay began practicing martial arts at the age of 12, training in wushu as well as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo before settling on Muay Thai in 2003.

Career
Within five months, Lindsay won the USMTA Southeastern amateur welterweight title and he added the ISKA and WKA North American Championships as well as the Eastern US title to his mantelpiece over the next three years.

Lindsay turned professional in 2007, preferring to focus on the fighting hotbeds of Las Vegas and California due to the high level of competition. In his first title fight as a pro, he defeated Mukai Maromo by way of majority decision in Richmond, Virginia on September 29, 2007 to claim the WKA North American Super Welterweight (-70 kg/154.3 lb) Muay Thai strap. This win set him up for a fight against Matee "Dragon Leg" Jedeepatik, a star at Lumpinee Stadium during Muay Thai's golden age in the 1990s, for the International Muay Thai Organization World Super Welterweight Championship in Fresno, California on November 10, 2007. He dropped Matee twice with left hooks in the fifth round to secure the decision and take the world title.

On September 4, 2008, Lindsay stopped sanshou stylist Kang En with a body shot in round five in San Bernardino, California.

He suffered his first defeat to Baxter Humby by split decision in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 25, 2009. After rebounding with a majority decision victory over Chaz Mulkey a month later, Lindsay was given the chance to challenge Kevin Ross for his WBC Muaythai United States Welterweight (-66.678 kg/147 lb) strap in Primm, Nevada on December 5, 2009. He floored Ross in the final round but it was ruled a slip and he lost by split decision.

In 2010, Lindsay turned his hand to mixed martial arts. After taking a quick technical knockout win over Adam Brady in his MMA debut in Duluth, Georgia on May 15, 2010, he lost by submission due to an omoplata a minute into his sophomore fight with Joe Elmore in his native Atlanta, Georgia on December 4, 2010.

He was scheduled to make his return to Muay Thai at Bangkok Fight Night 10 in Atlanta on June 10, 2011 against Kenny Finister. However, Finister withdrew after sustaining a leg injury in training and the fight was scrapped. He instead made his comeback in a WBC Muaythai International Super Welterweight (-69.853 kg/154 lb) Championship match against Malaipet Sasiprapa at the M1 Grand Muay Thai Championship in Los Angeles, California on August 13, 2011. It was a close fight, but it was Lindsay's knees from the clinch that made the difference as he took the split decision.

In his first international fight, Lindsey was knocked down before being stopped with an uppercut from Wang Wei Hao in round two in Changsha, China on January 1, 2012. Returning to Atlanta, he was set to face Michael Corley at Bangkok Fight Night 12 on February 17, 2012. Corley pulled out due to other commitments, however, and was replaced by Eddie Martinez. Lindsay knocked Martinez out with an elbow in the second round to take the Bangkok Fight Club promotion's super welterweight belt. Fighting in Thailand for the first time, Lindsay lost on points against Suriya Prasathinphimai at an event marking Suk Wan Muaythai Naikhanomtom (National Muaythai Day) at CentralWorld in Bangkok on March 16, 2012.

A rematch between Chike Lindsay and Malaipet took place at Bangkok Fight Night: Undisputed in Atlanta on June 15, 2012 and Lindsay came out the victor once again by unanimous decision. With this win, he moved him up to the #1 spot in the North American super welterweight rankings. He then ended the year with two more unanimous decision wins over Cyrus Washington at Take-On Productions: Muay Thai at the Mecca 2 in New York City, New York on November 10 and Christophe Pruvost at Muay Thai in America: In Honor of the King in Los Angeles on December 1.

He took the biggest scalp of his career when he defeated Thai great Somrak Khamsing via unanimous decision in a three round bout at Push Kick Promotions: World Stand Off in Pomona, California on March 2, 2013. He then KO'd James Martinez with knees in round one at Bangkok Fight Night: Shockwave in Atlanta on April 5, 2013.

A fight with another of Thailand's best in Saiyok Pumpanmuang was scheduled for Muaythai Superfight in Bangkok on May 16, 2013 but was cancelled after the event was pushed back to June 14.

He fought Yodsanklai Fairtex for the inaugural Lion Fight Middleweight Championship at Lion Fight 10 in Las Vegas on July 26, 2013, losing a unanimous decision. Although Lindsay started well, he was unable to keep up when Yodsanklai switched tactics to stay closer (within clinch and elbow range) and suffered three cuts later in the bout.

He lost to Samy Sana on points in the quarter-finals of the 2013 edition of Thai Fight's -70 kg/154 lb tournament in Thailand on October 23, 2013.

Personal life
Chike Lindsay's on and off girlfriend and fellow kickboxer Adrienne Simmons died following a bout with Lindsay Scheer in Orlando, Florida in July 2010. She was knocked out in the third round of the fight, fell into a coma and died the following day. He has blamed Steve Fossum and the other organizers of the 2010 IKF World Classic event for not taking necessary safety precautions, stating that there was not an ambulance present at the event and that it took an hour to transport Simmons to a local hospital.

Spring break is something to look forward to every year. Even if you're not going anywhere, you get a chance to get away from the books and group projects for a little bit. You can take some time for yourself, and maybe you'll even get to stay at your apartment by yourself for a while if your roomies are headed out of town. Much like the season, spring break is a time for growth, and it's a chance for you to revamp your life a little bit. Here are a few small changes to make over spring break.
If you're looking for ways to make some minor life changes over spring break, start with this list. When you're living your best post-spring break life, you'll be so glad you did.
There's no better time to take a break from your electronic devices than spring break, because it's probably the one time of year that you actually don't really need them. Even if you only do this for a couple of days, you'll likely feel so happy and proud you gave it a try. Go off social media and take a break from watching your shows, so you can give your eyes a rest and maybe even lessen your reliance on your devices a bit.
I can't be the only person who has the urge to do something drastic with my hair during every seasonal transition. If you've been thinking about going for a shorter style or dyeing your locks a different color, consider doing it during spring break.
You can really take the time to figure out what you want to do with your hair, and use the rest of the break to get used to it. Plus, once you obtain that super unique color, your Insta debut will be pure #fire.
Spring break is definitely the time for you to switch things up. Get rid of the clothes hanging in the back of your closet that you haven't worn in years, throw out scrap pieces of paper you have lying around, and say goodbye to the things in your home that don't bring you joy. Spring is the season of growth, and cleaning out your home makes some space for new things.
After you've cleaned out your home, you'll have room for some new things, like clothes. Spring break is a great time to update your wardrobe with fresh staple items, especially now that you've gotten rid of the things that have been sitting unused in your closet for a while. Happy shopping!
Spring break is a great time for you to check in on the progress of your New Year's resolutions. You might have already made a dent in a few of them already, but if you have more goals you're trying to accomplish through the rest of the year, you can write them up during your spring break.
Maybe you want to travel somewhere special, go home to see your family more often, or commit to using reusable straws. You can use the break to commit to additional goals for the rest of the year.

NEW YORK, June 19 (Reuters) - Global stock markets tumbled and U.S. bond yields fell on Tuesday while the dollar rose as investors flocked to safety in the face of a rapidly escalating U.S.-China trade conflict.
Agricultural commodities were also hammered with soybeans feeling the most pain after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 10 percent tariff on another $200 billion of Chinese goods. China's commerce ministry described the threat as "blackmailing" said Beijing would fight back with "qualitative" and "quantitative" measures..
Wall Street's three major indexes were lower, though the S&P 500's decline was much more measured than that of overseas markets. In China, the Shanghai Composite Index had slumped nearly 5 percent at one point.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 341.83 points, or 1.37 percent, to 24,645.64, the S&P 500 lost 20.98 points, or 0.76 percent, to 2,752.77 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 76.32 points, or 0.99 percent, to 7,670.71.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index lost 0.6 percent and MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe shed 1 percent.
Front month soybean contracts fell 5.5 percent, or 50 cents a bushel, to $8.58 a bushel, and at one point fell to $8.41 a bushel, lowest for that crop since December 2008. U.S. crude oil fell 1.2 percent, or 80 cents a barrel, to $65.04; China has threatened to impose tariffs on U.S. crude exports.
Emerging market stocks lost 2 percent while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 2.3 percent lower.
The Shanghai Composite Index ended 3.8 percent lower after slumping nearly 5 percent at one point to its lowest level since mid-2016. Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed 2.8 percent lower. Japan's Nikkei lost 1.8 percent.
The dollar index rose 0.31 percent, with the euro down 0.47 percent to $1.1567.
The Swiss franc increased 0.6 percent against the euro at 1.1495 franc EURCHF= and was marginally higher versus the greenback CHF= at 0.9948 franc.
The Japanese yen strengthened 0.70 percent versus the greenback at 109.80 per dollar as the yen is often sought as a safe haven in times of market turmoil and political tensions.
U.S. 10-year and 30-year yields fell to three-week lows, while those on two-year notes slid to two-week troughs.
U.S. benchmark 10-year yields fell to a three-week low of 2.853 percent US10YT=RR, from Monday's 2.926 percent. They were last at 2.878 percent.
U.S. 30-year yields dropped to 2.991 percent US30YT=RR, a three-week low as well, compared with 3.055 percent on Monday, and were last at 3.014 percent.

I received the letter about the CT denial from the insurance company today. My doctor had said they were going to appeal it, but who knows if they actually did, so I guess I'll call tomorrow about it (call the insurance company that is). I would have called tonight, but they closed at 6. It's for the better I think, since the letter pissed me off and it wouldn't be fair to take it out on the customer service person since I doubt it's up to them to decide.
I knew they said it wasn't medically necessary, but their reasoning annoyed me. It was actually for both the brain and chest (yet another thing the doctor's office didn't get right when they told me…they said chest and abdominal). The reasoning for denial of the brain was that their guideline requires "the presence of a headache with neurological deficit or ataxia (difficulty walking), visual impairment, vertigo (dizziness) with a headache or worsening headache". For the chest it requires "a chest x-ray that leaves questions unanswered and symptoms such as a cough or shortness or breath". (On a side note, I'm wondering if the chest one would even include the adrenal glands? Did my doctor request a chest when they should have requested abdominal?).
But anyway. While I *do* actually have headaches and dizziness, the doctor may not have mentioned them in light of my more concerning dangerously high blood pressure and heart rate and other more prominant symptoms that fit the symptoms of Cushing's. And hey, go ahead and x-ray my chest if you want a chest x-ray that doesn't answer questions such as do I or do I not have a tumor on my adrenal glands.
I don't actually think they'll refuse the appeal or anything, but like I said before, this total hassle over dealing with insurance companies is not something sick (or healthy) people should have to go through! We *pay* for this stuff! Why the hell are we paying them if they're not going to cover the medical care that we need??? I certainly have better uses for my money than to just give it to some insurance company who doesn't even cover stuff half the time.
Ugh. Insurance companies frustrate me. Last year when my dad got his "cancer pills" for the first time, they had a receipt of how much it cost without insurance. It was this insane amount & the pharmacy told us we were lucky they covered it because not all insurances would. I don't understand what they expect people to do when they can't afford something. My coworker (whose husband works in the medical field) told me that insurance companies usually do deny something automatically but the majority of the appeals get approved. So maybe they do it to make sure you "really" need a procedure? Even if that is the case, it's dumb.
I hope it gets worked for ya soon!
we are currently going through insurance hell so I can completely sympathize. GARRRRR.
ditto on the insurance hell. I've been waiting TWO WEEKS for approval for the injections I need for my back. Hopefully they'll approve the appeal!


Nothing goes hand in hand like great weather and outdoor entertaining. Here are a few tips that will make your guests want to linger long after the sun sets.
Unless it's really a swanky event, feel free to skip the paper invites and send an email to your guests. Make it easy on them and ask them to respond only if they can't make it.
Decide what type of shindig you're throwing. A favorite is pot luck. Just ask guests to let you know what they'll bring so you can plan the menu. (You don't want to be faced with three potato salads and no dessert.) Even if guests are bringing food, you should plan on an appetizer to get the evening started. Make an easy antipasto appetizer by filling a generously sized tray with cuts of salami, olives, roasted bell peppers, assorted cheeses and a variety of crackers or slices of a baguette. Cheese platters are always a great option. Click here to find out which cheeses will keep your guests wanting more.
You don't want to use paper plates but also don't want to risk breaking your dinnerware? An easy solution is to set the table with melamine plates. Melamine is shatterproof and BPA-free.
TIP: Paper napkins and plastic utensils may be more convenient, but you'll elevate the tone of your event if you pull out cloth napkins and use real cutlery instead.
Hot summer evenings demand plenty of ice. Don't have an ice bucket? No worries. Just line any clean, attractive container with heavy duty plastic to make it waterproof and voila, instant ice bucket.
Tip: Don't forget to place tongs or a scooper next to your ice bucket to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Set up a bar cart with essentials like chilled alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and of course nothing says summer like lemonade. Turn it into a classic adult beverage with a British flair by adding Pimm's Cup No. 1 for a light, refreshing cocktail.
Half-fill a tall glass with ice and a few slices of cucumber or lemon. Add measure of Pimm's, then top up glass with lemonade or soda. Stir gently and add more ice if necessary. Garnish with slices of lemon and cucumber.
Make the evening magical by placing candles everywhere. They can even do double duty if bugs are an issue when you use these candle holders.
Use wireless speakers to liven up the evening with music. And if the evening gets chilly, warm things up with a fire pit. More than just a heat source, fire pits add instant ambiance. Outdoor Ashley HomeStore is appearing in-store soon and now online!
