Q: What algorithm should I try to predict number of tweets Background
I have been collecting data of each tweet being sent out for each article. The data is like this.
created_at, user_id, article_id
xxx, x, x
y, y, y

When I plot the graph for each hour and minute I get non-linear graphs because of the nature of time-series
What I'm wondering is what algorithm should I use to try to fit in this kind of graph to predict number of tweets happening in an hour or minute interval.

Is this possible?
This is what I have done to produce the graph.
apple.created_at = pd.to_datetime(apple.created_at)
apple['created_at_minute'] = apple.apply(lambda row: row['created_at'].minute, axis=1)
apple['created_at_day'] = apple.apply(lambda row: row['created_at'].day, axis=1)
apple['created_at_hour'] = apple.apply(lambda row: row['created_at'].hour, axis=1)
apple.groupby(['created_at_hour','created_at_minute']).agg(['count']).plot()

A: If you want to smooth out the graph, look into moving average, exponential moving average, etc.
If you want to make a prediction, the data should follow some underlying patterns(which it should, in this case). Then you can use ARIMA to find underlying seasonal/cyclical patterns.

A: Smoothing (loess, MA and variations) is one option of trying to make sense, as the other responder suggests.
Basic time series analysis (look up some basic econometrics material) could help too, if the data is autocorrelated (so the number of tweets in hour T predicts the number of tweets in hour T+1).
And it's highly likely that they are autocorrelated: an article hits Twitter in hour T, goes viral, which makes the number of tweets in hours T+k jump up as a consequence.
However, if all you have is data on tweets and nothing else, it may be hard to estimate one general model for the number of tweets en masse. As you can see on the graph yourself, it looks very very irregular. Few very big spikes, with most of the time being rather quiet.
If you could somehow group the articles into types/genres, that might help you condition the model and bring some order into it. Or bring in more data/variables.
Or, and now I am just wildly speculating, given the nature of the data, it could be an example of some highly skewed distribution (to the left, so most of the time, very few tweets are observed), but sometimes, a viral thing happens and it explodes. Which is realistic enough I guess. But you'd also need to model some autocovariance there, as one freak "draw" conditions the distribution in later times (so shifting it more to the right, making it more "normal"ish...).
It could be an interesting exercise, but I really don't know how you'd rigorously go about fitting such model (if it were, e.g. some sort of Pareto distribution or something).
Now that I think about it: logs! A log-normal distribution is skewed to the left, and if you take the log of it, you get a normal. So perhaps try taking logs of the counts (add 1 to cover 0 tweets) and fitting an autocorrelated normal distribution on the logs?
Sorry for the wild speculations :D

Home Resources Publications Publications library Insight Primary Q2 2021 Making decisions about CPR
Making decisions about CPR
Dr Myooran Nathan highlights key issues to consider when making advance decisions around the resuscitation of patients.
Date: 21 June 2021
ONE of the unfortunate realities of general practice, especially in the current climate, is that GPs will be very familiar with the challenges of making advance decisions around the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of patients in the event of a cardiopulmonary arrest.
While the NHS has received deserved praise over the past year, the issue of the application of 'Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation' (DNACPR) decisions brought criticism early in the pandemic when it was widely reported there had been worrying variations in decision making.
It was discovered that blanket DNACPR policies were being applied to groups of people, and that some patients were not being made aware of such decisions. A special review by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England was undertaken, the final report of which has just been published.
This report highlights the need for greater support for clinicians in holding conversations about DNACPR as part of a holistic approach to advance care planning and also the need for a cultural shift to support patients' decision making about what they would like to happen at the end of their lives.
DNACPR is a clinical decision that does not require consent, and you cannot be obliged to provide treatment that is not clinically appropriate. But the General Medical Council (GMC) guidance makes it clear that this is not solely a clinical decision. There should always be a presumption of patient involvement, and how to approach this is covered in detail below. If decisions are not made with regard to the correct procedural steps, you run the risk of acting in ways that are unlawful and unethical.
Decisions should never be made solely on the basis of factors such as age, disability, a particular medical condition, or your personal view of quality of life.
The involvement of patients/those close to them is crucial.
Where no confirmed decision is known, the presumption should be in favour of CPR.
Any decision about DNACPR should be made on an individual basis, after careful assessment of the patient's situation – never under a blanket policy.
CPR and the law
Ill-judged or hasty decisions about CPR could breach the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporates the majority of rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law. Specific provisions that could be relevant to DNACPR decisions include the right to life (Article 2), the right to be free from inhuman or degrading treatment (Article 3), and the right to respect for private and family life (Article 8).
Laws relating to equality and discrimination, such as the Equality Act 2010 (in England, Wales and Scotland) or the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (in Northern Ireland) are also relevant in this context, as it may be discriminatory and unlawful if a DNACPR decision is applied to a patient on the basis of a protected characteristic such as age or disability. Care must also be taken to ensure that account is taken of these protected characteristics in terms of any impact they may have on the patient's ability to participate in advance care planning and any special measures that might be required to facilitate such participation.
Be sure to also comply with relevant mental capacity laws, particularly those that govern:
how to assess capacity
how to make decisions for patients lacking capacity
the role of those with legal powers to act on behalf of those patients.
These can also allow for legally binding refusals of CPR to be made in certain circumstances. You should respect these when they are valid and applicable to the situation at hand.
Although it is important to have an understanding of the law relating to DNACPR decisions, if you follow applicable ethical guidance and policies, you are unlikely to be acting unlawfully.
Presumption of CPR
In an emergency situation, particularly working within the constraints of the Covid-19 pandemic, you may not have sufficient time to undertake a full and adequate assessment of the patient's situation and the likely outcome of CPR. Where no explicit decision about CPR has been made and the patient's wishes are unknown, there should be a presumption in favour of prolonging life and giving CPR. Exceptions to the presumption of CPR may include when a patient is in the advanced stages of a terminal illness and death is imminent/unavoidable, or where there are features of irreversible death, for example rigor mortis.
There is no absolute obligation to prolong life irrespective of the consequences for the patient and irrespective of the patient's views if they are known and can be found out.
Case-by-case decisions
You must ensure DNACPR decisions are made on the basis of the patient's individual circumstances, and are never dictated by 'blanket' policies. One of the concerns investigated by the CQC was that DNACPR decisions were being applied to cohorts of people, for example all residents in a care home, or all patients over a certain age. As explained above, such decisions are likely to be unlawful and are unethical.
Clinical judgement
The GMC's guidance on treatment and care towards the end of life sets out the need, when considering whether to attempt CPR, to consider the benefits, burdens and risks of treatment that the patient may need if CPR is successful. It acknowledges that there will be cases in which CPR might be successful, but it might still not be seen as clinically appropriate because of the likely clinical outcomes. In short, the benefits of prolonging life must be balanced against the burdens of CPR. While you must carefully consider the clinical factors, for example the likelihood of CPR being successful and the level of recovery that can be expected, there are other important factors to take into account.
Another concern raised early in the pandemic was that DNACPR decisions were being put in place without informing the patient or those close to them, and sometimes were not made known until the patient was seriously unwell.
Both the GMC guidance and case law confirm that there should be a presumption in favour of discussing CPR decisions with the patient or, where they lack capacity, those close to them. Although DNACPR decisions are ultimately clinical ones, the patient's wishes, feelings, beliefs and values in relation to its benefits and risks must be taken into account. If you judge that CPR should not be attempted, because it will not be successful, you must carefully consider whether it is necessary or appropriate to tell the patient that a DNACPR decision has been made. You must document the reason for your decision making, and be able to explain and justify it.
Your subjective views about what a patient may or may not want cannot be relied upon, regardless of your experience or perceived objectivity. The patient will be in the best position to consider the quality of their life after successful CPR, the potential indignity of CPR, and what they are willing to tolerate both during and after CPR. Those close to a patient lacking capacity often have good insights into these important aspects.
Such discussions are likely to be distressing, but this should not prevent one taking place unless you believe it would cause the patient physical or psychological harm. Failing to involve the patient without good reason could be a breach of their human rights.
Some patients may not want to be involved in CPR discussions, and their wishes must be respected. In such situations, consider seeking the patient's permission to discuss the matter with those close to them. Whenever DNACPR decisions are discussed with those who do not hold legal powers to act on the patient's behalf, you should be clear that theirs is an advisory role, and they are not responsible for deciding whether CPR will be of overall benefit to the patient.
When CPR will not be successful
If there is no prospect of CPR being successful, it should not be offered or attempted. This may apply where there is good reason to believe the patient is dying from an advanced, irreversible disease, or a catastrophic event from which the heart or breathing cannot be restarted for a sustained period of time. As above, there should be a presumption towards explaining the need and basis for a DNACPR decision with the patient/their representative.
If a decision not to attempt CPR is not accepted by the patient or their family (where they lack capacity), you are not obliged to agree to attempt it in the circumstances envisaged. You should explain your reasoning and any other options that may be available to the patient, including seeking a second opinion.
When CPR may be successful, but is not clinically appropriate
There will be cases where the chance of success is judged to be small but, after detailed discussion, a patient with capacity still wishes to receive CPR. In these situations the patient's request will usually be the deciding factor. However, you are not obliged to agree to attempt CPR. If you feel unable to do so, you should explain to the patient your reasons and the option to seek a second opinion.
Where a legal proxy requests CPR but you consider the chance of success to be small, and that it would not be of overall benefit to the patient, then you are not obliged to offer CPR. Again, you should explain the options, including the right to seek a second opinion.
CPR decisions are a clinical matter, but patient involvement is crucial.
Decisions must be made on an individual basis, considering the relevant clinical and patient factors.
Doctors must be aware of local and national guidance and policy on CPR decision making.

Widgets: the future of online ads
This post was also published in BusinessWeek.
Look to the evolution of television advertising to understand the necessity of widgets in today's online world
The sheer volume of Web sites has grown so overwhelming that an increasing number of consumers—not just those in their 20s—are adopting multipurpose tools to help them manage and personalize the vast amount of data thrown at them every day. The mainstream adoption of online social networks such as Facebook and MySpace and personalized home pages such as iGoogle and Netvibes reflects attempts by consumers to make the Web more manageable. This new mindset, not surprisingly, also holds for the way in which the audience is willing to engage with ads.
Advertisers, many of which have only just begun shoveling more of their marketing dollars into promotional banners and boxes on Web sites, had better heed this shift sooner than later. Some Web trends prove to be fads, of course. But when hordes of consumers start shifting from one technology to another, it's a good bet "old" marketing strategies will grow less effective. (Or so I say, which is why I started a new company called iWidgets last year to help advertisers develop campaigns that embrace the new mentality.)
Learn from TV
If this shift in consumer behavior in response to information overload sounds familiar, it should. We've seen much the same with television. When there were only three major networks, people would walk up to the TV, choose a channel, and watch it for a while. When cable television emerged, people would flip through 50 to 75 channels to see what was on. But with the advent of digital cable and satellite TV, which made hundreds of channels available, many overwhelmed viewers started looking for ways to manage and filter the content. This created a market for digital video recorders, such as those from TiVo (TIVO), and on-demand programming. This in turn changed the game for marketing, as users were suddenly choosing which ads, if any, they'd watch.
This same phenomenon is now taking hold online. Instead of visiting more and more Web sites, users are shifting to the TiVos of the Internet. Consumers are using RSS aggregators to display news and blog postings from numerous sources in one place. They're using personal portals such as iGoogle and Netvibes to view customized collections of stock quotes, local weather updates, and relevant news headlines at a glance. They're using social networks including Facebook and MySpace to share pictures and "what's up" with friends, family, and even business associates.
A Behavioral Shift
As with TV, this behavioral shift is having a significant impact on the online advertising industry, a multibillion-dollar business dominated by Google (GOOG). Until recently, the whole thesis of online marketing has been that ads need to be propagated across thousands of Web sites so that users see them, click on them, and visit advertisers' sites. But nowadays, there are several problems with this approach.
One is that users are not as willing to leave the site they're using to visit an advertiser's site. Although the economic downturn may be playing a role, it's worth noting that Google and Yahoo! (YHOO) both recently reported drop-offs in their click-through rates (BusinessWeek.com, 2/27/08). The two companies have come up with a myriad of explanations, but the reason is actually very simple: Web users are setting a higher bar for advertisers to lure them to another site.
In fact, many users are starting to ignore ads altogether, a phenomenon known as "banner-ad blindness." At the same time, with advertisers shifting more and more of their marketing dollars online, the cost of an "impression"—placing an ad on a site—keeps rising. The net result is that online advertisers are now paying more to get less.
Beyond Online Billboards
So how should advertisers adjust to this new situation? First, let's look at what they're buying when they place an online ad. They are buying a piece of real estate on a Web page that's essentially no more than a link to another Web site. But that rectangle of space can also be exploited to function as a site within a site. Instead of just replicating a billboard on the side of the highway in a bid to get users to click and go somewhere else—something they hate to do—the ad should actually let them do something right then and there. Right in that little box, without switching sites, users should be able to browse products, customize orders, and eventually make a purchase. This concept of a little Web site embedded within another Web site is called a widget.
Widget ads are just the first step. Instead of simply trying to build brand awareness, marketers now have the ability to reach out to customers with useful features to enhance their personalized pages on social networks. An athletic gear company could offer an application that lets a group of running buddies track how their times and distances compare. An airline could offer a "come visit me" application that displays the latest fares for a trip between the hometowns of viewers and Web page owners. Even better, an airline might offer a widget that lets users track their frequent-flier miles and search for award trips right from their iGoogle pages. These types of applications can be useful, engaging, and viral—when you see one on your friend's profile, you are likely to install it as well.
Advertisers and consumers have played a game of cat and mouse for years. As we've learned from the ongoing upheaval in the entertainment industry, online advertisers have to adapt their approach to match consumer behavior, or risk irrelevance. They need to move beyond glorified billboards and deliver useful, engaging applications people will want to use and share.

Q: Using Asp button in jquery dialog I have a problem in my code when I'm using an Asp button in a jquery dialog where modal is set to "true".
Here is my code :
Js
$(document).ready(function () {
var dlg = $("#mws-jui-dialog").dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    title: "Delete",
    modal: true,
    width: "640",
    minHeight : 160,
    minWidth : 170
});
dlg.parent().appendTo(jQuery("form"));

$("#btnDelete").bind("click", function (event) {
    $("#mws-jui-dialog").dialog("option", { modal: true}).dialog("open");
    event.preventDefault();
});
$("#btnClose").bind("click", function (event) {
    $("#mws-jui-dialog").dialog("close");
    event.preventDefault();
});
});

On my aspx page :
asp:Button runat="server" ID="bidon" CssClass="mws-button green" OnClick="DeleteButton_Click" Text="Yes"

And on my cs :
protected void DeleteButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Response.Redirect("mypage.aspx");
}

When i set modal to false it's working fine but as i've understood that modal disable items on my page, i'm looking for a way to use my asp button when modal is at true (or just a another way to fix it).

A: I know your question is a few months old but if I understand it correctly... In your mws-button green CSS class. Include the z-index: property and set it too 1000. This will ensure that your button sits on top of the modal bkgd.
.mws-button green
{
    z-index: 1000;
}

Let me know if this helps.


How Can I Be Me While You're Being You?
High emotional reactivity ruins relationships.
Do you occasionally feel like you become a different person around your partner? Does it seem like he or she has to change — or that you'll have to change partners — for you to be your true self? Do you take turns acting like stubborn toddlers and feeling as powerless as one?
Emotional reactivity is an automatic, usually unconscious response to specific events, situations, or people. Sometimes this is a great thing. While falling in love, the mere presence of the beloved fills us with fascination and joy. We thrill at the smiles of our infants and revel in the excitement of new friends. But under stress, emotional reactivity is almost entirely negative. The environment seems more threatening or fraught with uncertainty. Our "buttons get pushed" more easily. We're more likely to lash out or, if we hold it in, emotionally shut down. In couples afflicted with high emotional reactivity, a negative feeling in one partner triggers chaos or shutdown in the other.
All social animals are subject to high emotional reactivity when the environment is perceived to be dangerous. A hair-trigger response shoots adrenaline and cortisol into everyone's blood stream when one member of the pack senses threat. An alarm in one creates alarm in all, which increases the chances of survival; the pack has multiple eyes, ears, and noses and a singular alarm system transmitted from any individual to all the others.
One partner's perceived "need" for validation crashes headlong into the "need" of the other not to be controlled. Both end up feeling hurt, angry, and wronged.
High emotional reactivity makes us intolerant of differences (you have to see the world the way I do), narcissistic (incapable of seeing other perspectives), all-or-nothing (you're on a pedestal, or you're a demon), and dependent on the current emotional state, which in turn depends on the current physiological state (uncomfortable, tired, hungry, thirsty, overstimulated, or ill). When blame is added to the mix, partners seem like opponents first, and eventually like enemies.
Emotional reactivity puts most interactions in the control of an invisible automatic defense system, which is most often triggered inadvertently by body language, facial expressions, tension, distractedness, hesitations, impatience, discomfort, or eagerness. It's activated almost entirely unconsciously; by the time you're aware of any feelings, it's in an advanced stage.
Although the automatic defense system operates in workplace relationships, it does most of its damage in family interactions. Think of your gut reaction when your partner avoids looking at you or merely sighs. Think of how you react when you hear the front door close, even before your partner enters the room or says something with "that tone," gets "that facial expression," or rolls those eyes. Suddenly you find yourself in a defensive posture, prepared for the worst.
When you're both defensive, bad things are likely to happen. All good defense systems have preemptive strike capability. The missiles seem to start flying on their own, with no one giving the order. You find yourself in a battle of cold shoulders, curt exchanges, or hot arguments. You both feel powerless, irritable, impatient, resentful, or angry. You have an impulse to walk away, ignore, criticize, yell, or devalue.
I'll explore how to lessen emotional reactivity and deactivate the automatic defense system in a later post.
Were you in my kitchen last night? Thank you for the article it makes me feel that what my husband and I do isn't all the different than some other people. Sometimes when we are in these "low tides" after our many years of marriage, it seems that we are too completely different to make this work. This came at an opportune time to calm my waters, again thank you.
Here we go again with the old 'blame the emotional brain' stuff. The solution is to 'deactivate it'. How? Well, you'll have to wait and find out. What rubbish. If you don't know the problem you don't know the solution. If we are attracted to people for the wrong reasons of course it won't take much for it to go wrong. What he describes are people who need their partner to also be a parent, and fill in where their parents failed. It never works. Childhood needs that were neglected cannot be filled in the present. Reconnection, not disconnection is the answer.
I agree Dan. They want to pitch the merchandise and not provide the answer(s). That is if they are the correct answers or solutions. Viewing from 10,000 feet does not clear the picture.
I'm very happy to finally find some sort of blog that really points the finger the right direction. How can we be worthy of and compatible with the partner of our dreams when we ourselves won't give the things we expect? I really feel romantic relationships are so hard due mostly to our refusal to constructively criticize and hold ourselves accountable for our own emotions. I see the encouragement of "self-love" to really be more about pity and entitlement. Somehow self-awareness then magically appears and we all live in a world where we are never to think our feelings are wrong, but somehow we still have compassion for others? That's a head scratcher, for sure.


The stadiums on the east side of Singapore make a good running route for mid-distance runners!
Run a lap around the stadium of your choice and then continue to the next nearest stadium. The distance between Bedok Stadium and Singapore Indoor Stadium is the largest — 8.68 km, so be prepared with your own hydration before you reach the endpoint. You can increase the number of stadiums or even run the whole route from Tampines Stadium to Jalan Besar Stadium, a total distance of 16 km.

Letter: Anti-carbon supporters don't follow basic science principles
Drietz says American environmentalists' proposals are worthless for controlling global warming.
By Phil Drietz, Delhi
This is a response to the Dec. 25, 2021 Global Warming letter.
I've been writing editorials in opposition to "'Man-made' global warming" for over a dozen years. One thing keeps recurring; the 'anti-carbon' supporters don't seem to want to follow up with basic science principles explaining how man's tiny contribution of CO2 to nature's huge CO2 budget, forces the entire globe to heat up when it has to go against much more powerful natural processes such as water vapor (a much more prevalent greenhouse gas), solar energy absorption/reflection, volcanism, etc.
Our contribution to the global reservoir of atmospheric CO2 is too small to have any effect. Even a 2020 Bloomberg article said the COVID-19 pandemic brought down air pollution due to drop in fossil fuel usage; but had no effect on rising atmospheric CO2 level.
Look at the NOAA annual mean growth rate of CO2 chart covering 1960 through present at Mauna Loa observatory. We see that it dropped to .28 and .48 ppm for years 1964 and 1992. Did people suddenly burn less coal and oil those years? No, it was Mt. Agung (1963-64) and Mt. Pinatubo (1991-92) blasting about one cubic mile of ash into the air to a height of some 22 miles. This causes a shading/cooling effect on the ocean, which then expels less CO2. Geo-engineers are working on essentially duplicating this shading effect by possibly introducing particulates into the atmosphere to curb the amount of heating from the sun.
Water vapor, a greenhouse gas, traps about 1,300 times more heat than man's CO2. That's based on a 1% global atmospheric water vapor content; however, it can at times go up to 4% in places. Even a somewhat small up or down change in the massive quantity of water vapor may release or absorb far more heat, and therefore have more effect on temperature, than would a doubling of our current tiny CO2 level.
Oceans have a huge effect on water vapor level depending on amount of cloud cover blocking the sun's energy and activity of the 40,000-mile under-sea volcanic mountain chain; very little of it is being monitored.
In summary, American environmentalists' proposals are worthless for controlling global warming. And if they did have some effect, we need to keep in mind that China produces a lot more CO2 than the U.S. And frankly, we are in no position to tell China what to do, since we are greatly dependent on them to do our manufacturing; they'll soon be the world's largest economy.

Flushing Condos For Sale
Little did the Quakers know when they demanded freedom of religion in the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657, that the neighborhood would one day become a case study in coexisting diversity. The Dutch West India Company first settled Flushing in the mid-seventeenth century, naming it after Vlissigen, the company's major port in the Netherlands. When the English took over the area in 1664, Flushing became a separate town. Incidentally, Flushing was actually on the side of the British during the American Revolution. During the nineteenth century, Flushing's nearness to Manhattan helped it thrive, and by 1898, it had become part of a then-new borough of New York City, namely Queens.
Today, Flushing has the largest Chinatown in New York City, in addition to scores of immigrants from all over the globe. The organizers of the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs that were held in Flushing couldn't have picked a better location in NYC for a celebration of the world's nationalities. Today, Flushing is home to a wide range of ethnic groups including African Americans, Hispanics, Europeans, Asians, and more.
More so than any other neighborhood in the city, Flushing is a microcosm of New York as a whole and the characteristics and concerns of the area mirror that of the larger city. Much like skyscraper Manhattan vs. the outer boroughs, Flushing's downtown has a high-rise center with residential edges. Foreign investors, especially from Asia, are buying up property just like they are in Manhattan. Flushing has its own sprawling parks, including gigantic Flushing Meadows – Corona Park, where the lakes and walkways are given an off-kilter touch by space-age sculptural art.
Flushing is like an archaeological dig site with multiple levels of history exposed at once; colonial farmhouses, 1960s visions of the future, and recent ideas about urban development are all fighting for their place. Religious and ethnic diversity abounds and the combination of booming investment and immigration has led to a proliferation of both specialty boutiques and chain stores. The only missing element in Flushing is adequate subway access. The 7 train makes a scant two stops on the western side of the neighborhood, but the slack is picked up by the Long Island Rail Road and the metro bus system.
In the realm of real estate, Flushing has a healthy share of historical houses from the colonial era and beyond - as long as some landmarking regulations kick in to save what's left. For new development, multi-use is the key word in Flushing, where developers are hailed/hated and don't appear to be slowing down for any community group or anti-development blog. Co-ops and luxury condos with retail space on the ground floor seem to be the most common model, but residents are calling for inclusion of more affordable housing and community resources in new buildings.
Some of Flushing's most famous landmarks include the John Bowne House, the Old Quaker Meeting House, the 1785 Kingsland Homestead, which is the current site of the Queens Historical Society, Flushing Town Hall, which is the Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts' main headquarters and concert hall, St. George's Church, the 12-story 1964 New York World's Fair stainless steel globe,the Fitzgerald-Ginsberg Mansion, the Voelker Orth Museum, Bird Sanctuary, Victorian Garden, the Queens Museum of Art, which houses a scale model of New York City, the most expansive architectural model to ever be built, the Queens Zoo, the New York Hall of Science, the Queens Botanical Garden, and Queens Theatre in the Park. Area parks include Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Kissena Park, Bowne Park, and Flushing Fields.
Flushing is also home to CitiField, where the Mets play, as well as where Shea Stadium used to be located.
Flushing's public high schools are Townsend Harris High School, John Bowne High School, The Flushing International High School, Rober tf. Kennedy Community High School, and Flushing High School, New York City's oldest public high school. Flushing is also the location of two institutes of higher learning, such as Queens College and The City University of New York School of Law.
Transportation in the area includes the 7 subway line, 5 Long Island Rail Road stations, many bus routes, including Q12, Q13, Q14, Q15, Q16, Q17, Q20A, Q20B, Q25, Q27, Q28, Q34, Q44, Q48, Q65, [[Q66 (New York City bus)|Q66], and QBx1, and for those traveling via car, the Van Wyck Expressway, Grand Central Parkway, Whitestone Expressway, and Long Island Expressway.

My Grandma was known for making these sandwiches for every family party. The poppyseed spread on these sandwiches is so incredibly flavorful! This recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd or for a tasty finger food at your next party!
Slice rolls in half, keeping tops and bottoms together.
Melt butter and whisk in onion, mustard, poppy seeds and Worcestershire sauce.
Brush the mixture evenly on both the top and bottom half of the rolls.
On the bottom half of each roll, top the mustard mixture a small slice of swiss cheese and two slices of ham.
Cover with foil and bake about 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven, separate rolls and serve.
Hi girls! I have made these sandwiches and everyone raves about them! They are delicious!
I have also been making these for years for my kids' birthday parties. People ask me for the recipe all the time, but I made one slight change that I think you should try. I add in some minced garlic to the melted butter, and it really makes it pop ~ I've never measured, but I would guess around a tablespoon.
These are the best. I have seen people make these with the Hawaiian rolls before, too. I agree, that poppyseed spread is amazing.
This is an old time recipe! Like another reader, I use these for my kids' parties! Once you wrap them in foil, pop them in the freezer and then when you want to use them, put them in the oven as directed. Yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Here in amish country in ohio. We make sandwiches very similar to these. The only difference is we make the ham and swiss sandwiches and next we drizzle the poppy seed mixture over the top and bake for 20 minutes. Just don't put to much mixture on the top. Just had them today actually! Very Good!
Can you caramelize onion first? I'm not big on raw onions.
Sure you could caramelize the onions. Sounds delicious!
These sound amazing! I am just wondering if there is a way to substitute the butter for something else since our family does not like butter? Any idea's?
I'm not sure what you substitute butter with in other recipes. I know in baking you can substitute butter with unsweetened applesauce or canola oil. But that would not taste good on these sliders. Sorry we are not more help. We love this recipe the way it is. It's is truly one of our favorites. So we have never even thought how we could change it up.

One of the unique natural parks of Kazakhstan 'Kolsai kolderi' entered the list of the EXPO 2017 tourist routes. It marks its tenth anniversary this year. It attracts tourists from around the globe. 20,000 tourists visited the turquoise lakes located just 90 kilometers away from Almaty last year.
- People visit these places because they want to see primeval nature, enjoy the beauty of the green fir-trees and the lakes that play with different shades of turquoise and emerald blue. People absorb the energy of the sun and the nature here.
Tourists come from overseas to see the rare beauty of the local nature. They are amazed by the local picturesque places.
- I learnt about Kazakhstan because travellers have been here and they showed me pictures and said all the people are so nice, the country is beautiful, so I came here and it is amazing so I'm really happy to be here.
- The atmosphere and Kazakh people are welcoming. The mountains and the snow on the top are fascinating. We are flying back in two weeks. I think it's too little time to enjoy everything here.
The purest mountain air, perfectly clear water, full of trout, birds' singing and soothing silence awaken inspiration, tourists say. A large network of hotels and accommodation is appearing in the region. They are built exclusively from natural, eco-friendly materials that do not harm the environment.
- The highway construction was launched as part of Nurly Zhol program last year. At present, 50% of works are completed. We are planning to commission it next year.
Wellness resorts are bringing good profit as well. Visitors can stop by any house and try mare's milk or fermented mare's milk (kumys). Foreign visitors like Kazakh cuisine and national sports. Expo visitors will be able to see the variety of the region's flora and fauna. They will also be offered to travel along five newly developed tourist routes, which are Tamgaly reservation, Altyn Yemel, Charyn, and The Dzungarian Alatau.

The PA CareerLink at Hazleton sponsors regional job fairs where top employers can meet those looking for a new job. These job fairs may be regional; specific to certain industries, such as distribution centers; larger events that host a variety of employers; or even special events where those with disabilities can seek employment.
The job fair will provide you a chance to meet and talk with companies that are looking for new employees. You will certainly want to make a positive first impression with the company representatives who are attending the fair. If they perceive you in a negative manner during your first meeting, employers will probably not even bother to keep your resume. Use your best interview skills and remember that you are selling yourself to an employer. Be prepared to make a 30-second speech about yourself that will encourage the employer to bring you in for a longer interview.
Dress professionally, as if you are attending a full interview.
Have several copies of your résumé with you.
Bring two black pens for completing applications.
Take time before the job fair to practice what you will say to employers and to research companies in which you are interested. Showing that you are familiar with the company will make a positive impression on an employer.
Refrain from mentioning salary and benefits at your initial meeting.
Pay attention to your body language and ensure you are communicating with the employer in a positive and effective manner.


Heck, who am I kidding. Everyone is still stirring. There's an air of excitement, despair, hope, and sadness. No one is really ready for the summer to end. Summer brings about more carefree days spent with family and who wants to give that up.
The feeling of hope is what I'm trying to concentrate on. It's the one word I always choose to describe my life. Hope.
I'm looking ahead to another year of school where I am hoping for so many things.
I hope my oldest figures out how to overcome this "too cool for school" persona that seemed to hit him the second "teenager" became an official term to describe him. I hope he is able to really show his new teachers how amazing and bright he is without clouding their judgment with his occasional bursts of complete "I don't care" mood.
I hope my youngest is included. I hope the other kids in the middle school hallways can see his joy of life and his magentic personality, instead of getting caught up on his differences. I hope they accept him as one of their own. I hope with every ounce of my being he is not mocked, teased, or bullied.
I hope my oldest doesn't feel embarrassed by his younger brother. At least, any more than any teenager is embarrassed by their younger siblings. I hope he can continue to hold his head high and be proud of his brother and educate those who don't understand. Again, I hope with every ounce of my being that HE is not mocked, teased, or bullied. Because it's not Brian that notices the teasing usually, his big brother picks up the brunt of it.
I hope they both continue to love to learn. I hope there are teachers that think outside of the box and remember that the best learning doesn't happen in a seated position reading from a textbook. I hope they can learn with their hands and their bodies.
I hope I don't have to fight to make sure IEPs are met. I hope everything just falls together as it should without extra meetings, drop-ins, and tears.
I hope that the potential is always seen in both of my boys. That despite any learning differences they may possess, that they can still learn. That their potential has no limits.
I hope there are people in Brian's program that truly love him. Teachers are working so hard and it may seem strange to ask them to love a student. But in Brian's case, I truly believe that "love" is the key to protecting and educating him. He always blossoms under people who love him.
I hope there is growth.
I hope there are goals met.

Entheogen
Definition - What does Entheogen mean?
Entheogen is typically defined as a psychoactive drug or substance used in religious or spiritual practices. The term comes from the Greek en, meaning "in" or "within"; theo, meaning "god" or "divine"; and gen, meaning "creates" or "generates." It translates as "generating or creating the divine within." The term was coined in the late 1970s to replace "psychedelic." Although, entheogen encompasses a wider variety of substances.
Entheogens have been used with the goal of achieving transcendence across many spiritual practices, including meditation, yoga and chanting.
Yogapedia explains Entheogen
Traditionally, entheogens were typically derived from plant sources and most do not create drug dependency. Today, synthetic substances are available that have similar properties.
Entheogens have been used in religious and spiritual rituals for thousands of years – from Asia to the Americas. Vajrayana (a form of Tantric Buddhism) has had a well-documented tradition – albeit not widespread – of the use of entheogens, particularly datura and cannabis. In Hinduism, both cannabis and, to a lesser extent, the potent datura have been used in religious practices.
The Vedas (a large body of Hindu texts) mentions an ancient drink called soma, which is believed to have had entheogenic properties; although, its exact composition is unknown. The drink, prepared by sages and yogis, was believed to open neural pathways and facilitate spiritual visions, insight and communion with the Divine. It was also believed to heal the body.

Pujols hits club-record 4th slam in Cards' 7-4 win
St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols hits a grand slam off Cincinnati Reds reliever David Weathers in the eighth inning of a baseball game, Friday, July 3, 2009, in Cincinnati. St. Louis won the game 7-4. (AP Photo/Al Behrman)
Albert Pujols hit his club-record fourth grand slam of the season, and Jarrett Hoffpauir drove in the go-ahead runs in the ninth inning with his first career hit as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-4 on Friday night.
Hoffpauir, playing his first major league game after being recalled Wednesday from Triple-A Memphis, capitalized on shortstop Paul Janish's two-out error with a bases-loaded single off Daniel Ray Herrera (1-4) to snap a 4-4 tie.
The win gave the Cardinals sole possession of first place in the NL Central, a game ahead of Milwaukee.
Pujols gave the Cardinals a 4-3 lead in the eighth with his 10th career slam, also a team record, but the Reds tied it on Ramon Hernandez's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning.
Pujols, who leads the majors with 31 home runs and 82 RBIs, added an RBI double in the ninth.
Jason Motte (3-2) got two outs in the eighth for the win. Ryan Franklin allowed a hit and a two walks in the ninth before striking out Brandon Phillips for his 20th save in 21 opportunities.
The Cardinals were losing 3-0 and had the bases loaded with one out when right-hander David Weathers was brought in to face Pujols, who took a strike and two balls and popped one foul that fell in the camera area at the outfield-end of the first-base dugout, just out of the reach of first baseman Joey Votto.
Pujols hit the next pitch into the left-center field seats, snapping ties with Hall of Famer Stan Musial for the Cardinals single-season and career records.
Reds relievers hadn't allowed a run in 16 2-3 innings over five games before Pujols' homer.
The home run wasted a solid pitching effort by Homer Bailey, who allowed just three hits and two runs in a career-high 7 1-3 innings. Bailey also had five strikeouts while issuing just two walks after allowing a career-high seven last Saturday in Cincinnati's 7-3 win at Cleveland.
Joel Pineiro, who went 1-4 in June while the Cardinals scored a total of 11 runs in his five starts, allowed eight hits and three runs with one strikeout in seven innings. He didn't walk a batter.
NOTES: The Reds activated third baseman Edwin Encarnacion from the 60-day disabled list before Friday's game. Encarnacion had been out since April 28 with a chip fracture of his left wrist. He didn't start, but entered in a double switch in the ninth and doubled. ... IF Danny Richar was placed on 15-day disabled list with a torn labrum in his left shoulder, and IF Wilkin Castillo was moved from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day list. ... IF-OF Mark DeRosa remained available to just play defense or run while dealing with the left wrist he injured Tuesday. ... The sellout crowd was Cincinnati's fifth of the season.

It was late on a Wednesday evening in July 1909 that William Smith quietly left The Boys' Brigade camp at Tighnabruaich and departed for London. He was to return the following Friday morning to resounding cheers and applause from all the Boys at camp. He was now Sir William Smith, Knighted by King Edward VII for founding The Boys' Brigade movement through the first Glasgow Company in 1883.
Since that first day of the beginning of the Brigade, Captain William Smith set about leading by example. He was an enthusiastic and tireless worker, a man of commonsense who came from a military background believing in discipline and organisation. He was also a religious man who grew up in a devout Scottish family and it was through these influences on his life that he founded The Boys' Brigade movement, - following the principles of his own upbringing.
Smith was a true pioneer. What person could possibly think up the idea of putting young Boys in uniform, marching and using churches to meet together in groups? The suggestions, in a Victorian Britain, seemed absurd and there was much opposition to his early plans. Yet Captain Smith soldiered on. He worked hard travelling up and down the country ensuring that all Battalions were run to his exacting high standards and soon his infectious enthusiasm brought its reward. The movement grew and expanded overseas and from its pioneering spirit other youth organisations were formed.
Born was the lad who had made us our Men.
Strange to the Boys who were rallied before?
Guardians of honour the riven world o'er.
Give him the strong hand and raise high the toast.
Hope of an almighty nation to be.
What would Sir William Smith have thought of The Boys' Brigade of 1983? Certainly it has changed out of all recognition from those early pioneering days, yet as Baden Powell wrote, "William Smith was the first to recognise and seize the eager spirit of the Boy and to handle him in the right way for leading the lad through his own inclination to a sense of better things". This must still remain the objective of the modern day leadership of The Boys' Brigade.


This rotini chicken alfredo recipe is a variation of the chicken pasta alfredo recipe . This makes use of rotini pasta. These are corkscrew shaped or twisted pasta that are made of wheat flour.
So, why am I posting pasta recipes that are non-Asian in nature? The answer is simple and quite understandable: Panlasang Pinoy (or the Filipino Palate) does not center on authentic Filipino foods alone. While it is assumed that all of our dishes presented here are Filipino or Asian in origin, sometimes there are non-Asian dishes that Filipinos adore. I want to share them with everyone. We cannot stop our Filipino palate from liking other foods, could we?
As a nation of food lovers, it is our right to explore different cuisines and tailor the dishes that we liked to our own preference just like this Chicken Alfredo Recipe.
Try this Rotini Chicken Alfredo recipe and see or yourself. Happy Cooking!
Note: You can refer to our Fetuccine Alfredo Recipe for the video on how to properly make the sauce.
Cook the rotini according to package instructions. Set aside.
Add the heavy whipping cream and stir then let boil.
Adjust the heat to low and add the Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Stir continuously until mixture becomes fine.
Whisk the egg yolks in a mixing bowl then add about 5 tablespoons of the milk and cheese mixture. Continue whisking until all the ingredients are distributed.
Add the remaining egg yolk mixture and stir until the texture is thick. Set Aside.
Heat a skillet and pour-in butter.
Sauté the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes or until the color turns light brown. Add thyme at the middle of the cooking time.
Pour-in the Alfredo sauce (this is the sauce that you made by following steps 2 to 6) and stir. Cook for a minute then turn off the heat and set aside.
Arrange the rotini in a serving plate and top with the Alfredo sauce and chicken.
Well I think that our cuisine is unique. But it's not bad to try other dishes because I think if we just stick to our own then our maybe our palate would get bored. So it needs some excitement like try other foods. And if you can't travel the whole world do the next best thing that is try the world's different kinds of foods.


Pressure ulcers are commonly known as bedsores. Patients admitted to hospitals often have multiple medical conditions that place them at higher risk for skin breakdown.
Many – but not all – pressure ulcers in hospitals can be prevented. Preventing them, or treating them as early as possible, can help reduce further complications.
This chart indicates the rate of patients who developed pressure ulcers while at Danbury Hospital.
We compare the current quarter to the same quarter the previous year, and to the national benchmark. Lower numbers are better.


While France has its 24- hour race in Le Mans and America has its Indianapolis 500 there is only one race that matters to some people of Sussex – the Pulborough 12-hour lawnmower race.
Instead of the latest sports car or Formula 1 machine, racers in the annual event are more likely to be seen on a souped-up mower, or a prestigious John Deere tractor mower.
Reaching speeds of up to 50mph, competitors try to make their rivals eat turf during the 12-hour endurance event held at Brinsbury College.
Drivers have to cover as much distance as they can during a 12-hour period, racing into the night.
Fifty-six teams entered across four different classes of lawnmower.
The race, which began at 8pm on Saturday night, was won by Promo Racing, based in Brookes Green, near Horsham, which completed 388 laps in the time allowed and clocked up 329.8 miles.
Victory was not clear-cut, however and the race had one of its closest battles.
Despite leading by nine laps, the Who's Racing team suffered a rear axle failure allowing Promo Racing to take the lead. However they then suffered a puncture in the closing stages to set up a tense three-way battle between themselves, Who's Racing and Very Sideways Racing.
A sleepy Mark told The Argus: "It was very very close at the end. It was a very exciting finish.
Other winners included the Cricketers Arms, in Wisborough Green, who won best pub team, a special accolade since the pub founded the sport in 1973.
The man behind the sport was Jim Gavin, an Irishman who had raced and rallied cars across the world.
Having become disillusioned with the increasing costs of motorsport he teamed up with fellow enthusiasts to create a cheap form of racing accessible to all.
It now attracts teams from across the world.

A Hertfordshire man arrested on suspicion of terrorism has been bailed.
The 44-year-old man was arrested by counter terrorism officers on Thursday at Gatwick Airport – but has since been released on bail until next month.
The man, who flew in on a flight from Iraq, was stopped under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act before the police arrested him under section 5 of the Terrorism Act – which refers to a suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.
A spokesman from the Metropolitan Police was unable to confirm where in Herts the man was from.

Naughton is a village and former civil parish, now in the civil parish of Nedging-with-Naughton, in the Babergh district, in the county of Suffolk, England. It is  north-west of Ipswich and  south-west of Stowmarket. It was historically within the Cosford Hundred of Suffolk. The civil parish was merged with Nedging in 1935 to create Nedging-with-Naughton. In 1931 the civil parish had a population of 98.

Naughton is formed from the junction of two roads, the Whatfield Road which comes in from the south-west and heads north to Nedging Tye and New Road which comes in from the south-east. St. Mary's church is a 14th-century flint built church stands at the centre of the village, just west of this junction.

History
Sir Henry Adair was lord of the manor in the past.

Present day
It lies just to the south of RAF Wattisham. There is one pub in the village, the Wheelhouse (formerly Wheeler's Arms), that dates from the 17th century.

There are four farms in the area: Cooper's Farm (to the north), Brickhouse Farm (to the east), Fidget's Farm (to the south-west), and High Tree Farm (to the south).

Is Your Storm Shelter Ready for the Next Round of Severe Storms?
It's that time of year again when the weatherman tells us to get ready "just in case" a tornado touches down during a severe storm.
Are you ready for tornado season? Is your storm shelter ready?
Don't procrastinate in getting your storm shelter ready until you see the funnel cloud in the sky.
Make an inventory of what you need to do.
Spend a few hours sweeping and cleaning so that it will be pleasant when you get down there.
You don't want any "surprises."
What Else and Who Else is Down There in Your Tornado Shelter?
Canned goods in Mason jars from 1973?
Do You Have Everything You Need in Your "Fraidy Hole?"
A heavy chain that attaches securely to both the door and a bolt in the floor of the shelter -- remember that first scene in Twister?
A powerful tornado acts like a giant vacuum cleaner. I have heard of them literally sucking the plumbing out of the ground. It's a good idea to take precautions.
Install an Underground Tornado Shelter and Keep it Ready.
Also, don't put a lock on your storm cellar.
It's neighborly to allow others to come and join you or to use your shelter even when you are out of town.
You want to allow anyone driving down the road to be able to take cover if they need shelter.
Consider yourself as one entertaining angels unawares.
When severe weather strikes, it often happens quickly.
Don't hesitate to run down there quickly.
Teach your children and your pets how to get into the shelter quickly.
Find homes with Storm Cellars throughout Northeast Oklahoma.
Find homes in midtown Tulsa with storm cellars.
Call Debbie Solano at 918-724-8201 to set up a search for a home with a basement.
I can send listings of homes with basements to you. My automatic search allowing you to search the MLS without calling me does not yet work to pull homes with basements, so you will have to call me to get the listings.
Great Location, But the House Needs Work? Consider an FHA 203k Loan.

Anti-Corruption Compliance Standards And Guidelines: Time for Codification
By Eduard Ivanov
There are more than 30 anti-corruption compliance standards and guidelines published by various stakeholders worldwide. The obvious question is how organizations, especially SMEs, can navigate in this ocean of varying standards. In the author's opinion, the professional anti-corruption community should initiate codification of international anti-corruption compliance standards and guidelines.
The United Nations Convention against Corruption of 2003 contains general provisions regarding cooperation with the private sector, promoting integrity and transparency among private entities1. It does not define the structure or formal requirements of an anti-corruption compliance programme.
At the national level, few jurisdictions have published domestic guidelines on anti-corruption (anti-bribery) compliance. In this regard, the international standards and guidelines became important sources for designing and implementing anti-corruption compliance programmes and management systems in organizations.
In general, international standards and guidelines contain recommendations on the following components of anti-corruption compliance:
Development of an anti-corruption compliance programme, including risk assessment (risk mapping), defining applicable laws, principles and values, assessment of available resources
Communication of an anti-corruption compliance programme
Anti-corruption compliance management system
Anti-corruption clause
Third party due diligence
Staff recruitment, promotion, and performance evaluation
Charitable donations and sponsorship
Reporting misconduct and hotlines
Internal investigations and addressing violations
Cooperation with authorities
Training and communication
Monitoring, review and evaluation
The International standards on combating money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and proliferation 20122, developed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) – the main international policy maker in anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism, received widespread recognition. The FATF standards were implemented in domestic laws and regulations of 204 countries3. In contrast to this, none of the standards or guidelines on anti-corruption compliance published by international organizations received global recognition, and provided countries and organizations with detailed framework of anti-corruption compliance in organizations.
The most well-known standard on anti-corruption (anti-bribery) compliance is ISO 37001 – Anti-bribery management systems. The standard has influence on implementation of the anti-bribery management system in organizations and even influence on governmental anti-corruption policies in several countries4. However, it is too early to judge the potential role of ISO 37001 as a global, widely recognized standard at the current stage of implementation.
Furthermore, the comparative study on international anti-corruption compliance standards and guidelines, conducted by the author in 2018-2019 at the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) demonstrated that some components of anti-corruption compliance, e.g. code of conduct and compliance requirements for mergers and acquisitions are not described in most general standards and guidelines. Moreover, recommendations of several guidelines regarding due diligence and risk management are controversial. Only three guidelines contain special provisions for SMEs. A hierarchical system of international standards and guidelines does not exist. We cannot argue that the UNODC Guide is more important than OECD Guidance or ISO Standard 370015. It is very challenging for organizations, especially for SMEs to navigate in the ocean of anti-corruption compliance standards and guidelines and decide which of them are more relevant for designing and implementing anti-corruption compliance programmes.
In the author's opinion, it is time to open discussion on the systematization and codification of existing international standards and guidelines. Codification can simplify the use of standards and guidelines and support implementation of anti-corruption compliance in various jurisdictions. In the author's opinion, the international codification can solve several problems:
Define standardized terms and definitions
Define the recommended structure of a Code of Conduct and anti-corruption compliance programme. The structure may be amended in each case considering domestic laws, regulations, and specifics of an organization
Eliminate certain gaps and contradictions in existing standards and guidelines
Provide detailed recommendations for SMEs taking into account their realities and resources
Integrate pioneering provisions of recently published domestic guidelines and bench-marking reports
Integrate applicable recommendations from FATF standards and guidelines developed to prevent and combat money laundering and financing of terrorism
The codified standard or guideline may be used for the following purposes:
Drafting domestic laws and regulations on anti-corruption compliance
Designing and implementing anti-corruption compliance programmes, especially in SMEs
Support the implementation of anti-corruption compliance in the framework of Collective Action initiatives
Benchmarking of anti-corruption compliance programmes
Certification of anti-corruption (anti-bribery) compliance programmes (management systems)
The codification process could be led by the most influential in the anti-corruption field international intergovernmental organizations – UNODC and OECD. The author believes that IACA can also provide solid expertise and a serious contribution to the codification. Finally, the participation of business associations, NGOs, Collective Action initiatives and other stakeholders is an important precondition for broad recognition and application of codified standard or guideline.
