Eastside Medical Center recognized for reduction in early births
Staff Reports 2 | GwinnettCitizen.com
Snellville, Ga. – Eastside Medical Center has been recognized by March of Dimes Georgia for reducing the number of elective inductions and cesarean deliveries performed before 39 weeks of pregnancy.
-----1472----
This will give more babies a healthy start in life, the March of Dimes says.
"The last weeks of pregnancy are important. Babies aren't just putting on weight. They are undergoing important development of the brain, lungs and other vital organs," says Scott Berns, MD, MPH, senior vice president and deputy medical director for the March of Dimes. "I commend Eastside for being a champion for babies with their quality improvement effort."
Worldwide, 15 million babies are born too soon each year and more than one million of those infants die as a result of their early births. Babies who survive an early birth face the risk of lifelong health challenges such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and others.
Even babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. Recent research by the March of Dimes, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that although the overall threat is small, the risk of death more than doubles for infants born at 37 weeks of pregnancy when compared to babies born at 40 weeks, for all races and ethnicities.
Through Strong Start, a partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, the March of Dimes has been getting out the word that "Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait." The campaign urges women to wait for labor to begin on its own if their pregnancy is healthy, rather than scheduling delivery before 39 completed weeks of pregnancy.

Andhun est un ealdorman du Sussex à la fin du .

Biographie

D'après l'Histoire ecclésiastique du peuple anglais de Bède le Vénérable, le prince des Gewissae Cædwalla envahit le Sussex à la tête d'une armée et tue son roi Æthelwealh vers 685. Son triomphe est de courte durée, car il est repoussé par les ealdormen Andhun et Berthun, qui gouvernent ensuite le pays. Bède, qui est la seule source à donner les noms de ces deux comtes, n'indique pas qu'ils prennent le titre royal.

Vers la même période, les Saxons du Sud viennent en aide à Eadric, prince du Kent, qui se révolte contre son oncle le roi Hlothhere. Avec leur aide, Eadric parvient à éliminer Hlothhere et s'empare du pouvoir.

Après être monté sur le trône du Wessex, Cædwalla mène une deuxième invasion du Sussex, durant laquelle Berthun est tué, et parvient à assujettir la région. Le sort d'Andhun n'est pas précisé.

Q: Infinite Subset of a Metric Space is Not Compact
Let $(X, d)$ be a metric space, and $K$ an infinite subset of $X$. Show that $K$ is not compact in $(X, d)$.

From what I understand, a set of compact if every open cover of $K$ can be reduced to a finite subcover. Since $K$ is infinite, how can you construct a finite cover? Since you can't cover an "infinite amount of things" with a "finite amount of things," does this make $K$ not compact?
Or, should I take the "compactness $\implies$ closed and bounded" approach? Are all infinite sets not closed and unbounded (since I know $\mathbb{Z}$ is such in $\mathbb{R}$)?

A: This is not true. Take $[0,1]\subseteq \mathbf{R}$. This is a compact subset of $\mathbf{R}$, being closed and bounded (Heine-Borel Theorem). However, its cardinality is infinite (in fact uncountable). Also, if you don't believe the statement that a finite cover of an infinite set can be constructed, consider the following construction:
A cover in this context is a collection $\mathcal{U}=\{U_i\}$ of open neighborhoods of the space $X$ so that $X=\bigcup_{U_i\in \mathcal{U}} U_i$. In the case of $[0,1]$, we can construct such an open cover by taking $U_1=[0,\frac{1}{2})$, $U_2=(0,1)$ and $U_3=(\frac{1}{2}, 1]$. These are all open subsets of $[0,1]=X$. Further, we can see that $U_1\cup U_2\cup U_3=X$. Finally, the number of elements of the cover is $3$, and so we have constructed a finite open cover of an uncountable set. A more trivial way to do this is just to take the whole space $X$ itself.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics website has a plethora of information. I am excited to find this website and all that it has to offer. On the home page, you can search occupations by wage, entry-level education, on-the-job training, projected number of new jobs, or the projected growth rate. The website also allows you to refine your search by searching through more than one of the listed searches at one time.
I searched the projected growth rate of jobs and found many are health related occupations, but was surprised to see that wind turbine operator is one occupation that is expected to see the most growth. Other occupations projected to see growth are financial advisers, statisticians, and research analysts. You can then select one of these occupations to find out even more. I selected statistician and was able to learn what statisticians do, about the work environment, how to become a statistician, pay and job outlook, state and area data, as well as similar occupations. The website even explains why this job is expected to see growth, and the reason being the widespread use of statistical analysis to make informed business and health related decisions.
I also explored the declining professions that are listed on this website. This is vital information for students to be aware of. Students may want to study an occupation and not know that it is in decline and will not be an option for them once they have finished their studies. I do notice that when you look at these professions, it merely states that they are declining, and the site does not specify at what rate they are declining, unless you select the actual occupation. For example, computer programmers are listed as declining by -8% while advertising sales agents are declining by -6%. This is very interesting to me as a teacher as well. Teachers need to stay informed on this as we guide and aide students in making informed decisions about their futures.
I went ahead and checked on the teaching profession while I was on the website. I found out that the future outlook will depend on the region and the need for elementary school teachers is expected to grow at about 6%.
I appreciate that the language and text complexity seems appropriate for upper grades students. It is not written at a level that is too difficult for students to comprehend. The gifted teacher at my school has her students choose an occupation and research their projected wage, job description and then look into which house or car they would be able to afford. This website would be a great reference for students to use while completing this assignment.
This is an incredibly useful resource for students trying to decide about their futures and even for adults to make informed decisions about their current occupations.

Most often than not, parents are their child's biggest ever role models– constantly showing them support and being involved in every activity. Bearing in mind that their educational involvement also counts, parents need to be practically engaged. Unfortunately, in juggling days -of tight schedules, unstable work-life balance and economic pressures, keeping track of educational progress becomes almost impossible.
Often, you find there are a lot of parents who do not have the time to visit schools and discuss their child's activities & performance with the teacher. While some parents who do actually have the time to be involved just don't. Some just do not like to attend PTA meetings because it requires transporting yourself out of your comfort zone. Whatever the case may be, the conservative style of parent teacher communication is beginning to phase out, as educational software solutions are now being introduced. These can potentially interest both parties as communication can be done at their convenience.
Like our SAFSMS Parent app, which allows parents to log in and track performance, daily time tables and attendance, access assignments, print out report sheets for record keeping and also view session calendar. Having the ability to access such information with convenience makes most parents feel less guilty about not being present and knowing what the child is up to at school.
Take it from us, parental involvement is key to every child's education. Yes, you should visit the school and spend time speaking to the teachers, understand your child at school and on those days when you can't be present in that manner, SAFSMS is at your convenience.

Tuapse — Wikipedia
Tuapse is a town in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, situated on the northeast shore of the Black Sea, south of Gelendzhik and north of Sochi. Population: 63,292 (2010 Census);64,238 (2002 Census); 63,081 (1989 Census)
Tuapse is a sea port and the northern center of a resort zone which extends south to Sochi.
Tuapse is a large center (native land) for the Shapsugs tribe[14] with other areas in Circassia, with about 10,000 speakers of the language living in Tuapse. The name of the town is itself Adyghe (literally meaning «two waters»)[15] since Tuapse was part of historical Circassia and it became a part of Russia during the rule of Tsar Alexander I in 1801-1825. In early Greek sources the town was also attested as Topsida.
The modern settlement dates back to 1838, when the Russian fort of Velyaminovsky was established in the area after this region became a part of Russia in 1829 by Treaty of Adrianople.[9] During the Crimean War, the Ottomans seized the fort and held it for two years (1857–1859). The village of Velyaminovskoye (Вельяминовское) was established here in 1864; it is the village that later became Tuapse.[9] Town status was granted to Tuapse in 1896.[9]
The Soviets developed Tuapse as an oil terminal and depot. An oil pipeline from Grozny and Maykop was in operation by 1928, designed by Vladimir Shukhov. An oil refinery dates from the same period. No later than 1941, Tuapse's status was changed to that of a town of the krai subordination.[9]
During World War II, the German military attempted to seize the town during the Battle of the Caucasus, which caused major damage to Tuapse.

Q: Resample sales data by day - now unable to use polyfit - Python I have a dataframe of data with sales like this:-
sales_df

Date    Sales

01/04/2020 00:03    1

01/04/2020 02:26    4

01/05/2020 02:28    3

01/05/2020 05:09    5

01/06/2020 05:16    6

01/06/2020 05:17    7

01/07/2020 05:18    3

which looks like this on sales_df.info()
 0   Date   datetime64[ns]
 1   Sales  float64

and I can perform the below and get a result
line_coef = np.polyfit(sales_df.index,sales_df['Sales'],1)

print(line_coef)

I want to do the same, but aggregated by day, so I've resampled the data like this
sales_day_df = sales_df.resample('D',on='Date').agg({'Sales':'sum'})

which results in a dataframe like this:-
sales_by_day_df

Date    Sales

01/04/2020  5

01/05/2020  8

01/06/2020  13

01/07/2020  3

But when I try and perform the same
line_coef = np.polyfit(sales_by_day_df.index,sales_by_day_df['Sales'],1)

print(line_coef)

I get an error
UFuncTypeError: ufunc 'add' cannot use operands with types dtype('<M8[ns]') and dtype('float64')
I notice that I only have the one column now in my dataframe with a DatetimeIndex, is this the cause? Do I need to create a new column for the date when I resample the data?
sales_by_day_df.info()
DatetimeIndex: 30 entries, 2020-04-01 to 2020-04-30
Freq: D
|Data columns (total 1 columns):|
 #   Column           Dtype
---  ------            -----
 0   Sales           float64

A: It's because when you resample, your index has to be datetime. in your code, you set the Date column as the index.
your first try work because the index still numbers (not DateTime as mentioned in the error message)
your second try didn't work because the index now is datetime
my advice is, try to reset the index then try to execute your polyfit again
you can reset your index with DataFrame.reset_index()


Prepulse inhibition deficits and perseverative motor patterns in dopamine transporter knock-out mice: differential effects of D1 and D2 receptor antagonists.
Dopamine is known to regulate several behavioral phenomena, including sensorimotor gating and aspects of motor activity. The roles of dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in these behaviors have been documented in the rat literature, but few reports exist on their role in mice. We used dopamine transporter (DAT) (-/-) mice to examine the behavioral consequences of a chronically hyperdopaminergic state, challenging them with the preferential dopamine D2 receptor antagonist raclopride and D1 receptor antagonist SCH23390. At baseline, DAT (-/-) mice exhibited deficient sensorimotor gating as measured by prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle response, exhibited nonfocal preservative patterns of locomotion, and were hyperactive in a novel environment. Pretreatment with raclopride significantly increased PPI in the DAT (-/-) mice, whereas SCH23390 had no significant effect. Blockade of D2 receptors did not affect the predominantly straight patterns of motor behavior produced by the DAT (-/-) mice, but antagonism of D1 receptors significantly attenuated the preservative patterns, producing more of a meandering behavior seen in the DAT (+/+) control mice. Both D1 and D2 receptor antagonists decreased the hyperactivity seen in the DAT (-/-) mice. These findings support the role of the D2, but not the D1, receptor in the modulation of PPI in mice. Furthermore, D1 receptor activation appears to be the critical substrate for the expression of preservative patterns of motor behavior, whereas both D1 and D2 receptors appear to regulate the amount of motor activity.

Independently-owned health club operator Frame has opened its second site in Queen's Park, north-west London. Frame – an upscale concept which
specialises in dance, fitness, yoga and pilates classes – already operates a club in Shoreditch, north-east London. Both studios have an ultra modern décor
and changing facilities, with the Frame clubs offering a pay-as-you-go model, as well as monthly membership for £199. A Frame Card provides discounts for topping up in a similar way to Transport for London's Oyster card. Half-memberships are also available, but
these do not include access to the signature Frame Camp or Reformer Pilates classes. Frame Camp is an intensive cardio
interval training workout which uses Star Trac's E-TRX treadmills. The classes – which have been designed to appeal to running enthusiasts – mix interval running with conditioning exercises in a half-hour class, and their popularity has also resulted in the creation of the Hour of Power class, a 60-minute version of the class.
The upscale operator uses a membership system similar to loyalty cards, with monthly memberships at £199 Pip Black, Frame co-owner, says: "Our clients
are young and busy, so we have created classes that are fun, but also short and effective. "Frame Camp, our high-intensity treadmill
and conditioning class, allows our clients to get the same benefits as running outdoors
but without being seen working up a sweat in the street. "In fact, the results will be even better as the
class uses high-intensity intervals, encouraging participants to really push themselves." Details: http://lei.sr?a=A3z3N
Khalid Ismail to expand Lion's Den Gym – plans new sites
British Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) star Khalid Ismail has confirmed plans to expand his Lion's Den Gym (LDG) in Chadwell Heath, north-east London. The gym, one of two owned by the London
fighter, is currently being turned into the largest centre for martial arts in London. The expanded gym will feature 1,400sq m
(15,000sq ft) of training space, including specialist strength and training facilities alongside a brand new octagon boxing ring. Scheduled to be completed this month,
the new world-class combat and matting facilities will be complemented by three separate studio spaces, a group cycling suite, and a 'Women Only Zone'. The gym's current cardio training space is also due to be extended. Members will be able to recharge and relax
after a hard workout in the new LDG café. Ismail hopes to welcome new members as
soon as the gym launches, opening the world of MMA to a host of new participants. As well as carving a career in the world
of MMA, most recently competing in the UCMMA, Ismail has channelled his passion for martial arts and fitness into his LDG enterprise since 2006, when the Chadwell Heath gym was first opened. Four years later, Ismail expanded his empire, opening

Defended settlement, 707m north west of Brandon Hillhead.
Reasons for Designation
During the earlier Iron Age (seventh to fifth centuries BC) a variety of different types of defensive settlements began to be constructed and occupied in the northern uplands of England. The most obvious sites were hillforts built in prominent locations. In addition to these a range of smaller sites, sometimes with an enclosed area of less than 1ha and defined as defended settlements, were also constructed. Some of these were located on hilltops, others are found in less prominent positions. The enclosing defences were of earthen construction, some sites having a single bank and ditch (univallate), others having more than one (multivallate). At some sites these earthen ramparts represent a second phase of defence, the first having been a timber fence or palisade. Within the enclosure a number of stone or timber-built round houses were occupied by the inhabitants. Stock may also have been kept in these houses, especially during the cold winter months, or in enclosed yards outside them. The communities occupying these sites were probably single family groups, the defended settlements being used as farmsteads. Construction and use of this type of site extended over several centuries, possibly through to the early Romano-British period (mid to late first century AD). Defended settlements are a rare monument type. They were an important element of the later prehistoric settlement pattern of the northern uplands and are important for any study of the developing use of fortified settlements during this period.
The defended settlement north west of Brandon Hillhead is partially preserved with large sections of its defences preserved as upstanding earthworks. The monument will contain archaeological deposits relating to its construction, use and abandonment. It provides insight into the nature of settlement and defence during the Iron Age.

This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 23 May 2016. This record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes the remains of a defended settlement of Iron Age date, situated to the south west of Brandon Hilll and bordering the steep slopes of Brandon Dean to the west. The enclosure is sub-oval in plan and measures approximately 59m by 41m. It was surrounded by multiple banks and ditches which are preserved on its west side as earthworks. On the west side there are three concentric ramparts which are partly formed by scarping the natural slope. In areas where the ground is more level there are two medial ditches between the ramparts. The ramparts have an average width of 2m5m and are broken by an entrance on the north west side. The ditches are approximately 3m wide.

"His name may be Jimmy Olsen, but he writes like Superman. My definition of a great book is simple. It's a book that I can't put down. A book I carry from room to room, and from home to car to work, just waiting for another chance to sneak in a few more pages. A book so engaging that all you want to do is read it. Olsen's novel, Things in Ditches: A Murder Mystery Novel, is terrific."
"Olsen's story of bloody compulsion and shame is so sickeningly real, I have to look twice to see that his characters aren't on my locked ward."
"Jimmy Olsen's Things in Ditches is a crackerjack thriller. By taking the murder out of the traditional murder-mystery, Olsen takes us on a new kind of thrill ride with a cast of characters—including an overblown county sheriff, a bumbling town cop hoping to break the hamlet's first-ever murder, and the gentlest killer you'd ever want to meet—that is as true as a rifle shot. Along the way, Olsen turns his frigid Minnesota into a wild place where you can feel the frostbite on every trigger finger and the hot blood melting the blinding white snow. A stellar first novel."

Argentina's Last Chance
By Alvaro Vargas Llosa
Also published in The Daily Caller Wed. October 21, 2015 « Show Fewer
This coming Sunday's presidential election is Argentina's last chance in a generation to begin the arduous process of dismantling the left-populist system that has turned this once-prosperous nation into an economic and political basket case.
The bad news is that it is looking very tough for the only man who might undertake such a massive enterprise. Buenos Aires mayor, Mauricio Macri, is running about ten points behind Daniel Scioli, the candidate of the governing Peronista party.
In Argentina, the winning candidate can avoid a runoff by getting 45 percent of the vote or 40 percent plus a ten-point lead over the runner-up. But even if Macri manages to force a second round, it is not clear he will attract enough votes among the followers of Sergio Massa, a Peronista dissident who is running third and whose followers distrust Macri even more than they distrust the current president Cristina Kirchner, whom they consider a self-serving deviant.
During this campaign Marci has had to make concessions to populism in a desperate attempt to impede a first-round Scioli victory and steal votes from Massa (or at least to start cajoling Massa's supporters with a view to winning their vote in a second round).
To make matters even more dramatic: It is by no means certain that Macri will be in a position to transform this country if he wins.
President Kirchner, who has been in office for eight years and succeeded her own husband, commands a puzzling 50 percent approval rating despite a legacy that is a political horror tale—zero percent economic growth this year, a poverty rate that is nearing 30 percent, a 7 percent fiscal deficit, double-digit inflation, dwindling foreign currency reserves despite asphyxiating exchange controls that make it a nightmare to import anything, and a total of almost fourteen million Argentines who are reliant on the government for their livelihood (compared to only nine million who earn their living from private businesses).
Kirchner has managed to cripple the energy industry through price controls and nationalizations despite the country´s vast shale reserves, while agriculture now relies on just one crop—soybeans. The total area under wheat cultivation, once an Argentine staple, is down to what it was one hundred years ago!
Many things account for the president's popularity. Argentines painfully remember the $100 billion USD debt default at the turn of the 21st century and the dire social consequences that led to Kirchner's rise to power. And they praise her government for turning the almost decade-long commodities boom into a feast of populist subsidies and artificial consumption. Kirchner also enjoys the support of many of her compatriots due to a deeply ingrained culture of left-populism. She controls what promises to be a powerful force against change no matter who becomes the next president.
The hope is that if Scioli wins, like so many Peronistas in the past, he will betray Kirchner and build a coalition for reform. But his temperament, his own convictions, and the many restrictions Kirchner has placed on the next president—including laws that prohibit the sale of shares in state-owned companies—make Scioli an unlikely traitor to the legacy. Besides, he has promised to keep many of the economic controls and taxes that make it impossible to re-energize foreign trade, one of the only ways that Argentina can get its economic machinery moving fairly quickly.
To make things worse, Scioli´s promise to obtain foreign credit hinges on his ability to reach a deal with creditors who have kept Argentina out of the capital markets since the government inflicted a 70 percent haircut on sovereign bonds. A Herculean task, to say the least.
If Macri wins, on the other hand, his biggest challenge will be to avoid the fate of the very few non-Peronista presidents Argentina has had in recent decades: surviving the onslaught of a movement whose factions disagree on almost everything except the will to make the country ungovernable for anybody else.
It will take an extremely able tactician as well as a visionary strategist to pull it off. And colossal amounts of good luck.

Il Casato dei Wessex, anche conosciuto come "Casato di Cerdic" o "Casa Reale Sassone", fu la famiglia che governò il Regno del Wessex a sud-ovest dell'Inghilterra.

Questa casata fu al potere a partire dal VI secolo con Cerdic del Wessex fino all'annessione al regno d'Inghilterra, dopo l'unificazione il casato governerà tutta l'Inghilterra, dall'871 con Alfredo il Grande al 1016 con Edmondo II d'Inghilterra. Questo periodo della monarchia britannica è conosciuto come il periodo sassone, nonostante il loro governo venne spesso ridimensionato con l'invasione vichinga a Danelaw e poi con la conquista dell'Inghilterra da parte di Sweyn I di Danimarca, durante il regno di Etelredo II d'Inghilterra. Sweyn ed i suoi successori l'hanno governata fino al 1042.

Dopo Canuto II d'Inghilterra, ci fu un breve ripristino dei sassoni fra il 1042 e il 1066 sotto Edoardo III il Confessore e Aroldo II d'Inghilterra. Dopo la battaglia di Hastings, una tappa decisiva nella storia britannica, Guglielmo I d'Inghilterra divenne re d'Inghilterra e gli anglosassoni tentano di ristabilire il loro originario potere con Edgardo Atheling, un nipote di Edmondo II, che cercò anche di arrivare al trono tramite la Scozia, approfittando del matrimonio della nipote Matilda di Scozia (discendente da parte di madre dei Wessex) con Enrico I d'Inghilterra figlio di Guglielmo ma, ormai vecchio, fallì e morì poco dopo (1126), fu quindi l'ultimo appartenente al casato dei Wessex.

Alone among peers, Norway raises rates, eyes two more hikes
Nerijus Adomaitis, Victoria Klesty
OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's central bank raised its main interest rate on Thursday, as expected, and said it may hike again in September and in the first half of 2020 as domestic strength trumps a global economic slowdown, strengthening the crown currency.

The bank raised its key policy rate to 1.25% from 1.0%, in line with the forecast of 27 of 29 economists in a Reuters poll.
Following the unanimous decision, the crown rose 1% to trade at 9.6713 to the euro at 0915 GMT, and was up by 1.6% for the day against the dollar to 8.5634.
"Our current assessment of the outlook and balance of risks suggests that the policy rate will most likely be increased further in the course of 2019," Governor Oeystein Olsen said in a statement.
The most likely timing of the next hike is September, and another increase could come before the summer of 2020, he later added at a news conference.
Norges Bank hiked rates last September for the first time since 2011 and raised them again in March against a backdrop of rising inflation and solid growth as Norway's oil industry continues to increase investments.
The board's aim of tightening policy stands in contrast to the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, both of which have signalled in recent days that they are contemplating monetary easing.
"Norges Bank lifted the rate path and suggest that the next hike most likely will come as soon as September," economist Joachim Bernhardsen at Nordea Markets said in a note to clients.
"The new rate path reads 1.45% in Q4 2019, which gives an 80% probability of a September hike. The next hike will come by December for sure, according to the rate path," he added.
Norges Bank's new projections still showed a further rate hike was likely to come in 2020, although the probability had decreased slightly since a March forecast.
Companies' capacity utilisation is now above the long-term average while unemployment is set to decline further from its decade-low 2.2%, Norges Bank said.
"If the economic outlook changes, the rate forecasts will also change," Olsen told a news conference.
Norway's core inflation, which excludes changes that stem from volatile energy prices and taxes, is expected to rise this year to 2.4% from 1.6% in 2018, above the central bank's long-term target of 2.0%.

>> Statement: [Page xii]
Wright grossly misrepresents the policy of "disconnection," claiming the Church inflicts damage "on families that have been broken apart by the church's policy of 'disconnection'—the imposed isolation of church members from people who stand in the way of their longed-for spiritual progress.
>> True Information: Church policy on this issue is spelled out on the website. The Church of Scientology recognizes that the family is the building block of any society. The Church encourages and helps its members to have excellent family relationships, whether their relatives are Scientologists or not. In fact, family relations routinely improve with Scientology because the Scientologist learns how to increase communication and resolve any problems that may have existed before. Family members of Scientologists are always welcome to visit the Church, to meet other Scientologists and to have their questions about Scientology answered.
There is no policy mandating that a member of the Church of Scientology must disconnect from anyone, let alone family and friends who simply have different beliefs. Disconnection is defined as: "A self-determined decision made by an individual that he is not going to be connected to another. It is a severing of a communication line."
It is strictly up to the individual if he or she concludes he or she does not want to be connected to a person who is so antipathetic to someone and/or his or her beliefs that it cannot be resolved. It is entirely a personal choice.
Disconnection As Practiced In Other Faiths
Disconnection is not unusual in religion. From Biblical times to the present, members of other religions have exercised the same prerogative when confronted by those who have persistently opposed the practice of their faiths or who have committed crimes against it.
Degrees of excommunication in the Catholic Church range from full expulsion from a church with loss of all rights and contacts, to lesser limitations on communication, such as separation from the group at meals or censorship of communications. [Catholic Encyclopedia on "Excommunication"]
The Jehovah's Witnesses practice of "disfellowship" has been examined by the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit and found to be a protected religious practice. [Paul v. Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., 819 F.2d 87. (9th Cir. 1986)
The Amish practice of shunning—avoiding a former member in every way possible, excluding that person from the church and community—is considered a means of guarding the Amish culture. The Amish base this practice on Biblical passages, including Matthew 18:15-17: "lf your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you … But if he will not listen, take one or two others along. … If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector." Other references are Corinthians 5:11 and Romans 16:17.
The Church Manual of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, contains several references to excommunication of members for various causes, including apostasy and alteration of Christian Science doctrine. [Manual of the First Church of Christ]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints practices excommunication, as well as the lesser sanctions of private counsel and caution, informal probation, formal probation, and disfellowship. Excommunication is generally reserved for what are seen as the most serious sins. In most cases, excommunication is a last resort, used only after repeated warnings. [General Handbook of Instructions. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]
Colorado College Professor David Weddle writes that some ultraorthodox Jewish congregations practice an extreme form of disconnection in which a mock funeral is held for apostate members. ["Many Religions Remove Members," The Register-Guard, March 2, 2003]
The practice of disconnection by Scientologists is a small part of the larger subject of ethics, the fundamentals of which are described in the book Introduction to Scientology Ethics by L. Ron Hubbard. Mr. Hubbard simplified and codified the subject of ethics and developed a workable technology with the aim of applying the subject to an individual's daily life to bring about increased happiness, prosperity and survival. The subject of ethics includes the identification of the people in one's environment who hold others back from achieving their full potential. Scientology teaches about the mechanics behind this destructive yet commonplace situation and ways to counteract it. [The Scientology Handbook, "Overcoming the Ups and Downs in Life"] Ethics plays a vital role in an individual's spiritual development in Scientology.

Q: Why are my AngularJS directives sharing scope? I've tried to make a simple directive which displays a name and allows it to be change. When I put multiple directive on the name page they all seem to share the name attribute. What am I doing wrong?
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title></title>

  <person></person>

  <person></person>

  <person></person>

  <person></person>

A: As mentioned in previous answers, the default behavior of AngularJS directives is to share the scope that they are included in.  This behavior is changed via the scope parameter in the directive definition object.
You can view the documentation for the scope argument in this section of the AngularJS documents: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$compile#description_comprehensive-directive-api_directive-definition-object
This argument has three options:

*

*scope: false - the default behavior of sharing the scope the directive is included in

*scope: true - create a new scope for the directive that acts like other child scopes and prototypically inherits from its parent scope

*

*See Example 1

*scope: {} - create an isolated scope that does not prototypically inherit from its parent scope

*

*See Example 2
As you can see with the JSBin examples, both options 2 and 3 will work for your example.  The difference is whether you want your new scopes isolated or not.
The directives section of the AngularJS guide has a good section on why isolated scope can help create better reusable modules with directives:  AngularJS Guide: Isolating the Scope of a Directive

A: By default if you don't isolate the scope of a directive you will share the "outside" scope with all instances of your person directive. With your current implementation you'd need to create a different controller each time in order to re-use such a directive.
BUT there is a solution to this flaw and it s called isolate scope. To do this, you can use a directive's scope option like so :
return {
  restrict: 'E',
  replace: true,
  scope : {}, // this is where the magic happens
  template: "Current name = {{name}}Change name
",
  link : link,
}

You have a complete example and explenation over here section Isolating the Scope of a Directive

A: By default, directives share the same scope. But if needed, you can use isolated scope for your directives:  use scope: {} as field in your directive definition.
app.directive('person', function () {

    function link ($scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {

        $scope.name = "OLD"

        $scope.setName = function() {
            $scope.name = 'NEW';
        }
    }

    return {
      restrict: 'E',
      scope: {}
      replace: true,
      template: "Current name = {{name}}Change name
",

A: You have 3 options for scope in AngularJS directives

*

*false (Uses parent scope)

*true (creates own scope and also inherits from parent, i.e you can access items defined in parent scope as well)

*{} (creates an isolated scope)

Let me demonstrate this using $rootScope
    app.run(function($rootScope){
      $rootScope.firstname = "Root scope name";
      $rootScope.rootValue = "Root value";
    });

    app.directive("sampleDirective",function(){
      return{
        template:"
{{firstname}}{{rootValue}}
",
 // here rootValue will be accessible as its inherited from parent. You can overwrite this as well
        scope : true,
        controller:['$scope',sampleDirectiveScope]
      };
    });

    function sampleDirectiveScope($scope){
      $scope.firstname = "child scope changing name - ";
    };

    app.directive("isolatedScopeDirective",function(){
      return {
        controller:isolatedFunction,
        template:" this has isolated scope ,
{{rootValue}}
",
    // here rootValue will not be accessible because it is isolated and not inheriting from parent
        scope: {}
      };
    });

    function isolatedFunction($scope){
      //define values for this scope
    };

Q: Is it possible to restart a process in Google Cloud run We have multiple Google Cloud Run services running for an API. There is one parent service and multiple child services. When the parent service starts it loads a schema from all the children.
Currently there isn't a way to tell the parent process to reload the schema so when a new child is deployed the parent service needs to be restarted to reload the schema.
We understand there there are 1 or more instances of Google Cloud Run running and have ideas on dealing with this, but are wondering if there is a way to restart the parent process at all. Without a way to achieve it, one or more is irrelevant for now. The only way found it by deploying the parent which seems like overkill.
The containers running in google cloud are Alpine Linux with Nodejs, running an express application/middleware. I can stop the node application running but not restart it. If I stop the service Google Cloud Run may still continue to serve traffic to that instances causing errors.
Perhaps I can stop the express service so Google Cloud run will replace that instance? Is this a possibility? Is there a graceful way to do it so it tries to complete and current requests first (not simply kill express)?
Looking for any approaches to force Google Cloud Run to restart or start new instances. Thoughts?

A: Your design seems, at high level, be a cache system: The parent service get the data from the child service and cache the data.
Therefore, you have all the difficulties of cache management, especially cache invalidation. There is no easy solution for that, but my recommendation will be to use memorystore where all child service publish the latest version number of their schema (at container startup for example). Then, the parent service checks (at each requests, for example) the status in memory store (single digit ms latency) if a new version is available of not. If a new, request the child service, and update the parent service schema cache.
If applicable, you can also set a TTL on your cache and reload it every minute for example.

EDIT 1
If I focus only on Cloud Run, you can in only one condition, restart your container without deploying a new version: set the max-instance param to 1, and implement an exit endpoint (simply do os.exit() or similar in your code)
Ok, you loose all the scale up capacity, but it's the only case where, with a special exit endpoint, you can exit the container and force Cloud Run to reload it at the next request.
If you have more than 1 instance, you won't be able to restart all the running instances but only this one which handle the "exit" request.
Therefore, the only one solution is to deploy a new revision (simply deploy, without code/config change)

Congo to sell Gertler's oil, gold, iron ore permits
by Editor March 7, 2022 0254
The Democratic Republic of Congo is seeking buyers for Dan Gertler's mining and oil assets, which may be worth billions of dollars, as it nears a settlement with the Israeli tycoon to resolve multiple disputes over his businesses in the country.
Gertler is set to relinquish all his resource permits after signing a memorandum of understanding with the government last week, officials said Thursday. The deal would include two oil blocks on Lake Albert along the border with Uganda, his Moku-Beverendi gold permits, and dozens of iron-ore permits. Gertler will be reimbursed for some expenses and retain lucrative royalty streams from three copper and cobalt projects.
SIGN UP FOR THE PRECIOUS METALS DIGEST
The agreement "will allow us to promote and resell the assets," government spokesman Patrick Muyaya told reporters at a briefing broadcast on Twitter Thursday. The government declined to make the full agreement available as the two sides continue to hammer out the details and because of confidentiality clauses, he said.
Gertler, 48, is from a prominent Israeli diamond family and came to Congo in the late 1990s to trade gems while the nation was at war. He helped finance President Laurent Desire Kabila and befriended his son, Joseph, who took power in 2001 when his father was assassinated. The men became close, with Gertler sometimes acting as a political emissary for Kabila.
Opaque deals
They were also allegedly in business together, according to the U.S. government, which sanctioned Gertler in 2017 to help pressure Kabila into stepping down. Gertler, the U.S. Treasury Department said, used his "close friendship" with Kabila to amass a fortune "through hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of opaque and corrupt mining and oil deals" in Congo.
Now a new government under President Felix Tshisekedi is trying to claw back some of those assets.
"Dan Gertler, as you all know, was one of the architects of a predatory system in this country," Andre Wameso, Tshisekedi's deputy chief of staff for economic matters, said on Thursday. "The assets of our republic were bought at very low prices by intermediaries, including by him, and were resold at a much higher value."
Gertler has never been charged and has always denied any wrongdoing. He confirmed the outlines of the deal in a statement emailed by a spokesman Thursday.
'Relentless scrutiny'
"The relentless scrutiny and criticism I have faced, culminating in the devastating U.S. sanctions placed on me and the recent allegations I have faced, have become intolerable, placing a huge burden on me, my businesses and above all my family," Gertler said. "It is neither in my interests, nor the interests of the people of the DRC, for assets such as the Lake Albert blocks to be mired in international arbitration in perpetuity."
The government values the oil blocks alone at between $1.5 billion and $1.8 billion, Wameso said.
TotalEnergies SE controls the blocks on the Ugandan side of Lake Albert, and plans to invest more than $5 billion to drill and ship the crude via pipeline to the Tanzanian port of Tanga. Several companies have already expressed interest in the Congolese blocks, Muyaya said, without identifying them.
Also up for sale will be Gertler's Moku-Beverendi gold project, which is adjacent to Africa's largest gold mine, Kibali, owned by Barrick Gold Corp. and AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. Barrick's predecessor, Randgold Resources Ltd., was part of a venture exploring Moku with Gertler's Moku Goldmines AG until the Israeli was sanctioned. Barrick merged with Randgold in 2019.
Congo will eventually compensate Gertler 240 million euros ($264 million) for expenses he incurred exploring the mining and oil assets once the oil licenses have been sold, Wameso told Bloomberg by text message Friday.
Gertler will retain some of his richest assets in Congo, among them royalty streams from two copper and cobalt mines owned by Glencore Plc and a copper and cobalt tailings project owned by Eurasian Resources Group, Wameso said Friday. Gertler will pay about 249 million euros to state miner Gecamines as part of the deal, which will be mostly offset by a loan Gecamines took from Gertler in 2017 that is now valued at 192 million euros with interest, Wameso said.

On the heels of my being thrust back into the corporate world after a year away, I'm again reminded of a sometimes latent but usually blatant prejudice that still survives to this very day in the workplace. I refer, of course, to the oppression of tea drinkers by those that favour coffee.
OK, now that we've lost the gullible ones, I can continue on for the rest of you folks who don't automatically obey every command you read on strange websites that hint of inter-breeding.
If your machine is like most I've seen, it can produce your Columbian, your espresso, your dark roast, maybe even a mocha, plus one or two other varieties, give or take a dozen. Plus it can make hot water.
That's what the tea drinkers get. Hot water. Not boiling water, like you're supposed to use. Tepid to warmish water that could barely dissolve a package of Kool-Aid, let alone steep a decent cup of tea.
If you're particularly damned, you're station will have a Flavia machine. The one where you shove a package of your drink of choice into it hoping that the last two people to use it had something similar (although admittedly, green tea with a hint of French Roast will certainly get your attention in the morning).
Seasoned tea drinks have come to accept their lot. They're the ones who take one look at the brown mass on the counter, then bring in their own kettle if one hasn't been provided. They wait patiently for the water to boil while co-workers file by "the machine" in droves, oblivious to the ease with which they can continue on their activities. They are reflective while dipping their tea bag in the water in an attempt to steep it a little faster. They appear lost in thought when in fact they are thinking, "I feel like a dweeb poking this thing up and down in my cup." That is what they, we, are reduced to.
To be fair, most of the coffee-partakers do recognize that the coffee they're drinking is more likely to come from a lab at Columbia University than the actual country. But at least that gives them a common conversation topic. They can make good-natured jibes to each other before the meeting about how bad it tastes and "man, what I wouldn't give for a Timmy's across the street" and "you know it, I can't function in the morning without my caffeine fix."

L'église Saint-Pierre est une église catholique située à Épernon, en France.

Situation
L'église Saint-Pierre est située au centre de la commune d'Épernon, dans le département français d'Eure-et-Loir. Sa façade ouest s'ouvre sur la rue Saint-Pierre.

Historique
L'église Saint-Pierre est bâtie à l'emplacement d'une première église romane, antérieure au . L'édifice actuel est construit au . c'est à notre époque la seule des cinq églises restant à Épernon, les autres ayant été détruites à la Révolution.

L'édifice est classé au titre des monuments historiques en 1942 afin de pouvoir faire les restaurations à la suite du bombardement de , date à laquelle, tout le côté droit et la voûte en plâtre furent soufflés, découvrant sous l'autel le caveau du  duc d'Épernon Goth de Rouillac et sa femme, de l'un de ses fils () et de l'une de leurs deux petites filles (Anne-Marie Louise de Goth).

Cette salle souterraine de  par  fut très certainement construite entre 1661 et 1680 et fut utilisée comme caveau familial jusqu'en 1690 à la mort du dernier duc, Gaston Jean-Baptiste de Goth qui disparait sans descendance. En 1760, le caveau sera utilisé comme ossuaire pour accueillir les restes osseux de plus de  qui reposaient préalablement dans une des salles du clocher de l'église.

À la révolution, le caveau est ouvert afin de récupérer un ou plusieurs cercueils de plomb. Durant le  le caveau ne sera ouvert que deux fois (1854 et 1885). En 1854 un procès-verbal est dressé et mentionne la présence de l'ossuaire ainsi que d'un corps momifié en bon état de conservation et attribué à Anne-Marie Louise de Goth, fille du . Après , l'abbé Georges Brierre extrait la majeure partie des ossements du caveau afin de les mettre en valeur. Les vestiges d'un corps momifié sont placés dans un cercueil de bois fabriqué pour l'occasion.

En 2009, une étude du caveau est réalisée par une équipe d'archéologues et d'anthropologues professionnels sous la direction de Philippe Blanchard (Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives (INRAP) Tours).

Ce travail a permis d'évaluer le nombre minimum de personnes constituant l'ossuaire et a permis également de mettre au jour des crânes sciés relatifs à l'embaumement des membres de la famille ducale. L'étude du corps momifié a permis de révéler qu'il s'agissait bien d'un individu de sexe féminin mais qu'il s'agissait d'une personne âgée de plus de . En conséquence, le corps momifié actuellement visible dans le cercueil ne peut correspondre à la dépouille d'Anne-Marie Louis de Goth. Il s'agit plus certainement d'Anne Vialard, épouse du  décédée en 1680.

Un second corps momifié (très dégradé) a été identifié. Il était caché dans l'ossuaire. Il s'agit là encore d'un individu féminin âgé de plus de , mais son attribution demeure un mystère.

Paroisse et doyenné
L'église Saint-Pierre d'Épernon fait partie de la paroisse La Sainte Famille en Voise-Drouette, rattachée au doyenné de la Vallée de l'Eure du diocèse de Chartres.

On the next Tuesday, September 25th, the Pope Franciscus visit will bring short-term traffic restrictions in the center of Tallinn and Kadriorg. People who would like to welcome Pope's motorcade, can do it at 12.45 in Tammsaare Park or Musumäe.
According to Sander Kullamaa, the public law officer in the Northern prefecture, everyone traveling by car must be alert and watch the traffic signs. "The police will close the streets to traffic during the movement of the Pope Franciscus motorcade for a maximum of 15 minutes; however, the related traffic congestion may last longer. Therefore it is wise to spare more time than usual," said Kullamaa. "No street is completely blocked, but there are limited parking and stopping places in some places. If the junctions have police officers, then they must follow their orders," added Kullamaa.
"If you would like to welcome the Pope, I advise you to go to the Tartu highway 10AM in the morning. The Pope's motorcade will be seen at 12.45 from Musumäe and Tammsaare Park. After Holy Mass, the Pope will return to Tallinn Airport, and then people can also wave to him," said Kullamaa.
Traffic is closed around Kaarli puiestee and Vabaduse väljak from 1PM to 7PM and will be redirected. Kaarli puiestee will be closed totally due to the Holy Mass. Traffic coming from Endla street will be redirected to Suur-Ameerika street, traffic from Toompuiestee will be redirected to Tõnismägi. Traffic from Estonia puiestee will be redirected to Pärnu maantee. It is not possible to take a turn from Pärnu maantee to Vabaduse väljak.

The Importance of Data Fabric in 2022 And Beyond
January | 2022
The 12 strategic technology trends for the coming year per Gartner shouldn't surprise anyone; they focus on automation, security and AI. The technicalities go deeper, of course: hyperautomation and autonomic systems, increased security through mesh and privacy-enhanced computation, generative AI, decision intelligence and AI engineering. But the larger issues are generally familiar. One trend is particularly familiar – the use of data fabric – because of its recurrence on Gartner's list. Data fabric's return is both notable and important; it underscores the need for a unified view across the democratized and ever-growing landscape of technology offerings in data storage and processing.
The technology-trend predictions reflect companies' demand for process optimization and better use of available technology. The goal, per Jayant Prabhu, is that 80% of business leaders want to move to an intelligent enterprise, which as he notes, is more than merely technology. It's the people who are the differentiator – and having the ability to use a company's data assets is key. Building an intelligent enterprise therefore means "…investing in a journey that pays as much attention to cultural and process changes and it does deploying new tools."
Advances in AI engineering, hyperautomation, and total experience are just a few of the tools available, with the Data Fabric acting as that layer of accessibility. With the wealth of data technologies available for storage and processing, upskilling the workforce across each technology to analyse output means a large upfront cost, not to mention time. These inherently mean the organization will struggle to get executive buy-in for key initiatives. But by creating a single layer of accessibility through data fabric, companies can accelerate ROI – and therefore buy-in — for cloud initiatives and other strategic ventures.
So, what is the Data Fabric?
The data fabric is the overarching data-management solution across data uses, from centralization of data assets to a single point of access for analytics and AI. The fabric is more than just a data layer but is an insights portal with numerous uses. By enhancing the data fabric to become a "shopping cart" of data and analytics assets, enterprises step into the world of the data marketplace, one in which data objects can be bought and sold figuratively or literally.
The concept of a data fabric was coined by NetApp in 2016, where they defined it based on five core principles: control, choice, integration, access and consistency.
Control and govern your data, agnostic of location, whether in the cloud or on-premises.
Enable the choice of cloud, on-premises, applications, storage systems, delivery or consumption methods, with the option to change should an organisation need to.
Integrate each component surfaced through the fabric, while returning the value from each individual component.
Create that centralized layer of access for those individual components, for users, as and when needed.
And create a centralized management capability to facilitate consistency across data assets.
In short, data fabric is a single layer that enables data users to collaborate and share information and value across any number of platforms, cloud or on-premises. Considering its clear value, why is it still a trend going into 2022? The industry has been talking about this for some time now; why hasn't it become table stakes?
Data Fabric Enables Companies to Overcome Technical Debt
As companies embrace the cloud for revenue and growth, there's a clear need to reduce technical debt (per Gartner). It would appear the peaking of data fabric is actually the result of technical debt accumulated over years of increased technology adoption, rather than the reduction of that debt.
Enterprise data transformations today include a multitude of technologies – and an equally dizzying number of skills needed to support those technologies. No longer are we considering the use of relational stores like MS SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL; but now we have NoSQL options like MongoDB, Cloudera, Neo4J, MarkLogic, and others. On top of this, we are adding cloud options to the stack, with AWS Redshift, GCP BigQuery, MS Synapse, Snowflake and more. We are comparing and adopting numerous solutions of awesome capabilities and thus becoming dependant on their features. Yet they can't move everything at once to achieve value, let alone manage all those disparate resources.
Data fabric brings a single management layer to help businesses take advantage of all the value these technologies bring. This not only allows domains to continue with their own technology roadmap, but it also enables end users to take advantage of what other domains have put in place. This concept then allows for a multi-layered management and governance landscape by advancing Data Mesh capabilities across an organization, where governance and transformation are pushed back and democratized at the domain level.
Bring on the Future
Centralizing the data fabric allows for democratization of domain-level processes and data. Monolithic can't be the answer anymore. As Gartner notes, large-scale lift and shift is on a downward trend, and cloud-native services are on the rise for 2022. However, cloud-native service doesn't simply remove the hurdles of an organization's past technology adoption. Having a single point of insights and accessibility has become fundamental for organizations to achieve value from their data assets and lay a foundation for their cloud-everywhere futussre. Enter the data fabric.

Q: Erasing duplicates with NA values I have a data frame like this:
names <- c('Mike','Mike','Mike','John','John','John','David','David','David','David')
dates <- c('04-26','04-26','04-27','04-28','04-27','04-26','04-01','04-02','04-02','04-03')
values <- c(NA,1,2,4,5,6,1,2,NA,NA)
test <- data.frame(names,dates,values)

Which is:
  names dates values
1  Mike 04-26     NA
2  Mike 04-26      1
3  Mike 04-27      2
4  John 04-28      4
5  John 04-27      5
6  John 04-26      6
7 David 04-01      1
8 David 04-02      2
9 David 04-02     NA
10 David 04-03    NA

I'd like to get rid of duplicates with NA values. So, in this case, I have a valid observation from Mike on 04-26 and also have a valid observation from David on 04-02, so rows 1 and 9 should be erased and I will end up with:
      names dates values
1  Mike 04-26      1
2  Mike 04-27      2
3  John 04-28      4
4  John 04-27      5
5  John 04-26      6
6 David 04-01      1
7 David 04-02      2
8 David 04-03      NA

I tried to use duplicated function, something like this:
test[!duplicated(test[,c('names','dates')]),]

But that does not work since some NA values come before the valid value. Do you have any suggestions without trying things like merge or making another data frame?
Update: I'd like to keep rows with NA that are not duplicates.

A: What about this way?
library(dplyr)
test %>% group_by(names, dates) %>% filter((n()>=2 & !is.na(values)) | n()==1)
Source: local data frame [8 x 3]
Groups: names, dates [8]

   names  dates values
  (fctr) (fctr)  (dbl)
1   Mike  04-26      1
2   Mike  04-27      2
3   John  04-28      4
4   John  04-27      5
5   John  04-26      6
6  David  04-01      1
7  David  04-02      2
8  David  04-03     NA

A: Here is an attempt in data.table:
# set up
libary(data.table)
setDT(test)

# construct condition
test[, dupes := max(duplicated(.SD)), .SDcols=c("names", "dates"), by=c("names", "dates")]

# print out result
test[dupes == 0 | !is.na(values),]

Here is a similar method using base R, except that the dupes variable is kept separately from the data.frame:
dupes <- duplicated(test[c("names", "dates")])
# this generates warnings, but works nonetheless
dupes <- ave(dupes, test$names, test$dates, FUN=max)
# print out result
test[dupes == 0 | !is.na(test$values),]

If there are duplicated rows where the values variable is NA, and these duplicates add nothing to the data, then you can drop them prior to running the code above:
testNoNADupes <- test[!(duplicated(test) & is.na(test$values)),]

A: This should work based on your sample.
test <- test[order(test$values),]
test <- test[!(duplicated(test$names) & duplicated(test$dates) & is.na(test$values)),]

Deceptive digits still equal trouble
But positives should be 'carefully collected and built upon'
Chaos in the Crewe box but Joss Labadie misses a sitter
Notts County 4 Crewe Alex 0
STATISTICS don't lie – but scorelines sometimes do.
There's no getting away from it, whichever numbers game you play with Crewe Alex this season it makes for pretty dismal reading.
Twenty-five goals conceded in 10 League One games – the second worst in the country.
Twenty away games without a single clean sheet.
A -17 goal difference – the worst in England.
One point and one goal on the road this term.
Six points from 30 on offer overall.
Position 21 in the table.
Already 23 players used by Steve Davis.
And two consecutive defeats, at an aggregate of 7-0, to sides who started the matches rock-bottom of the table.
Here's another number: 263. That's the total of Crewe fans who made the trip to Meadow Lane to watch Saturday's match.
It is a fair bet that most of those faithful people will be of the opinion that another couple of digits – 4 and 0 – did not quite add up to what they saw.
Because whatever the vital statistics tell you, it was an improved performance from the Railwaymen.
Perhaps not good enough, but better.
Better individual displays, better attacking threat, better spirit.
Granted, it was perhaps not much of an achievement for the Alex to be superior to the way they played in the woeful home reverse to Gillingham a week earlier, but manager Steve Davis made changes and got something of a response.
In another situation it may have gone done as 'one of those days'. An afternoon when the Alex simply fluffed their 15 goals attempts (seven on target) and County had more luck with their eight (four on target).
The possession was virtually even and at least two of County's goals – all of which were plundered far too easily – came against the run of play.
And though Davis was criticised in many quarters for saying afterwards he was 'happier' and could take 'plenty of positives', most of those who were there will have understood.
Of course it was not a one-off, and it cannot be brushed under the carpet as 'one of those days'. The statistics tell us that.
In the end, after 46 games, only the numbers in the end column will matter. And the 50-point safety mark currently looks light-years away.
But there were indeed positives to take, and they should be carefully collected and built upon.

It has been 8 years since my previous solo album. This period was spent making a lot of music with and for other people, experiences that have brought me to this project standing on much firmer ground – a smarter person and a much better musician.
The players were brilliant, the engineers first class, and the artwork a blast. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed making it.
