Q: Unique IP addresses over internet? This might be a silly question but I'm wondering, if we have only 4 billion of IPV4  addresses available over the internet, and still most of the devices uses IPV4. So how is this possible? And if I'm using my mobile then how he got its unique IP address on the internet?

A: This is really basic and quick overview.
There is now a new IP standard IPv6 which increases the amount of IP addresses available dramatically. Quick google on IPv6 will give you the exact number of addresses IPv6 provides.
But before IPv6, IPv4 was running out. So what they did was set aside 3 different ip address ranges (IPv4 Private Address Ranges) ranges for use on 'private' networks and they combined the use of these networks with 'Network Address Translation' (NAT) which allows private networks to share 1 public IP address.
For example 1000 computers could all be on the same private network but only require 1 public IP address. This saves 999 Public IP addresses because all those computers share the same public address.
NAT is usually implemented on the network gateway (usually a router).
Heres a diagram which conveniently shows an example of NAT:

Diagram from : http://www.firewall.cx/networking-topics/network-address-translation-nat/227-nat-concepts.html
I don't have much experience with mobile networks but if the network isn't using IPv6 to give unique public IPs to each phone on it, it would have to be using some form of NAT. So a telecommunications company might be given a bunch of public IP address they can use and then use NAT to share the use of those IPs with 1000s of customers.
It is also worth noting that NAT can be used with IPv6.

A: Ya that a basic one.
You might have heard about DHCP(Dynamic Host Control Protocol) which assigns IP address to computers dynamically from the available pool of IP's.
Lets start with IP address assignment for a Enterprise/mid/small company they do have some public IP assigned from ISP's and the computers in their network get their unique ip's via a router that's the gateway to the Internet world .
Lets say 100 Ip's are there with ISP so they provide that IP's to may be individual or some company  and that company may have 100's of computers gets IP's via NAT(Network Address Translation). So another 100 computers have unique IP's available on the local network. Suppose 1 computer making a google search request it will have its local IP till its local network but when that request reach google servers the local IP is resolved by the public IP which was assigned by the ISP to that company and this is done by NAT.
On the bigger picture where our cellular networks work is done by CGN NAT (Carrier-grade NAT or Carrier-grade Network Address Translation). One example is NAT444, in this a particular residential networks, are configured with private network addresses that are translated to public IPv4 addresses by middlebox network address translator devices embedded in the network.

After two years of stubborn persistence, scientists at Johns Hopkins have determined the 3-D structure of part of a protein called HER3, which should speed efforts to interfere with abnormal growth and cancer.
"It took us more than two years to interpret the data and get HER3's structure," says Dan Leahy, Ph.D., a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a professor of biophysics in Hopkins' Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences. "Now that we have it, it might take only weeks to figure out its relatives."
Reporting the structure in the Aug. 1 online version of Science, Leahy says finding out the shapes of the entire HER family of proteins, HER1, HER2 and HER4, will provide the first opportunity to rationally design new drugs to interfere with them, possibly preventing or treating select forms of cancer.
HER2, for example, is the target of the breast cancer treatment Herceptin, an antibody. But while it's an effective life-prolonging treatment in certain breast cancer patients, different strategies targeting HER2 might also prove effective. Having a protein's structure allows scientists to conceive new strategies and pursue new classes of drugs, says Leahy.
A focus of many scientists because of the proteins' involvement in cell growth, the HER family are receptors for "epidermal growth factor" (EGF) and other chemicals. Although the DNA sequences of HER proteins have been known for some time, technical problems dogged efforts to understand how the proteins are shaped, Leahy says.
"Until we know proteins' structures, we're very limited in figuring out how a molecule or possible drug might bind," says Leahy. "We now have a starting point to see how molecules binding to HER3 change its shape and turn it on."

If irreplaceable head to link.
And ask them if you can send in the drive you deleted them from. They may be able to salvage pictures from that.
In reply to: If irreplaceable head to link.
"DO NOT install it on the drive that has the problem files and DO NOT try to recover the files back to the problem drive."
not valuable enough to pay the fees that data recovery charges (the fees are high but the process of file recovery is often arduous and the tools are expensive) then you might try running the Windows Check Disk utility. ONLY YOU can know just how much the files are worth to you, so do not follow this path without being aware that it may or may not work..
I would suggest running it from the recovery console if you have the installation CD. If you do not have the installation CD I suggest you run it from a command prompt in SAFE MODE as it tends to run quicker within Safe Mode.
That will attempt to locate bad sectors and recover readable information.
If you do use file recovery software DO NOT install it on the drive that has the problem files and DO NOT try to recover the files back to the problem drive.

Devon holidays
Great British escapes ... South Hams

Why go now?
This southernmost tip of Devon boasts some stunning unspoilt stretches of coastline, the pretty towns of Totnes and Salcombe, and the tranquil banks of the River Dart. Sleepy South Hams comes alive in summer: Salcombe regatta takes place from 9-15 August, while the more serious Royal Regatta brings crowds of yachting types to Dartmouth from 27-29 August and the town's medieval castle celebrates the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's ascension to the throne with themed events for children every Monday and Tuesday in August (english-heritage.org.uk). Also worth a visit is Greenway House (01803 842382; nationaltrust.org); once owned by Agatha Christie, and open to the public for the first time this year.
An old coaching inn, the Royal Seven Stars (01803 862125; royalsevenstars.co.uk) has been at the heart of Totnes since the 17th century and has doubles from £98. Up at the top of the town, in Cistern Street, Number 12 (01803 840359; bedandbreakfasttotnes.com), boasts indulgent organic and vegetarian breakfasts, with doubles from £80 a night. For self-catering, Wigford Farm (01548 550444; wigfordfarm.co.uk) near Kingsbridge lets out a three-bedroom boho-chic wing from £500 a week. The White House (01548 580505; whitehousedevon.com) in Chillington, near Dartmouth, will service your boutique hotel needs, with doubles from £180.
Until the 20th century, people used the rivers and creeks that cut through the South Hams to get around and this is still the best way to get a feel for the area; there are numerous ferry and water taxi companies, especially in summer. A cruise along the Dart from Totnes to Dartmouth takes 75 minutes and costs £8 for adults, £5.50 for children; more information from 01803 834488; pdsr.co.uk. The Sharpham Estate (01803 732178; sharpham.com), down the river from Totnes, has a vineyard alongside an organic dairy farm and serves its wines and cheeses at its cafe, open until the end of September.
The White Hart at Dartington (01803 847100; dartingtonhall.org) has fully embraced the locally sourced mantra of the South Hams with local mussels, Devon-reared lamb and ice cream from Salcombe, plus views of the gardens. To really eat locally, however, book into a tour of Riverford Farm (01803 762074; riverford.co.uk); its acclaimed Field Kitchen serves organically grown food from the surrounding land. Heading to the beach, there are superior burgers and crab salads at the Venus Beach Cafe (venuscompany.co.uk) on Blackpool Sands, plus bargain cream teas (just £3.99) using locally produced clotted cream. Mitch Tonks's Seahorse Restaurant (01803 835147; seahorserestaurant.co.uk) in Dartmouth serves fresh-from-the-boat crab, lobster and cuttlefish. A set lunch costs £15 for two courses.
The perfect pub
In an idyllic village, the enticing Maltsters Arms (01803 732350; tuckenhay.com) in Tuckenhay on the River Dart has its own jetty and is big on open fires in winter and guest beers all year round. The white-washed Pigs Nose Inn (01548 511209; pigsnose.co.uk) in East Prawle, near Kingsbridge, is an all-weekend hangout, with regular bands, local cider, fish and chips and squashy sofas on the menu.
Totnes is part market town, part hippie fest and Britain's first "transition town", dedicated to sustainable living. Shops range from the sensible (WH Smiths) to the new agey esoteric (Say It With Angels), plus a market which runs the gamut from plants to Glastonbury-wear on Fridays and Saturdays. At its centre, steep, winding Fore Street runs into the High Street; together they house handmade footwear at Green Shoes (01364 644036; greenshoes.co.uk), numerous boutiques with varying amounts of tie-dye clothing, and serious ceramics at White Space (01803 864088; whitespaceart.com). Greenlife (01803 866738; greenlife.co.uk) fulfils all your organic needs, including locally-produced Vital Touch essential oils.
Easy to do in stages and punctuated by welcoming pubs and beach cafes, the South West Coastal Path attracts thousands of walkers during the summer and takes in the former smugglers' villages of Outer and Inner Hope, the stunning arch at Thurlestone Rock and Burgh Island.
Alternatively, the circular 12-mile Avon Estuary walk starts and ends at the village of Bantham, with foot ferries across the Avon, wading birds and a pit stop en route at the Fishermen's Rest pub (01548 550284) or the Oyster Shack (01548 810876; oystershack.co.uk) in the picturesque village of Aveton Gifford.
Take the family
Dartington Summer School (dartington.org) is a posh take on Butlins. Running until 29 August, it offers courses in music from choral and chamber to rock and pop. Prices with full-board accommodation start from £495 for a week. Canoe Adventures (canoeadventures.co.uk) arranges trips along the Dart.
• First Great Western (08457 000125; firstgreatwestern.co.uk) has fares from London Paddington to Totnes from £30.50 single. For more information on the South Hams area see visitdevon.co.uk

One of the more successful new communications devices used by American forces in Iraq was the Blue Forces Tracker (BFT). This is a locating device that uses satellite phone technology. For anyone with the software and access codes, you can display the location of everyone in an area who has an operating BFT transmitter. This was frequently done from a laptop in a vehicle. In stationary headquarters, the BFT display could be put on a larger computer screen. The BFT transmitters were distributed to infantry and tank companies, as well as some helicopters (like the leader of a group of gunships.) Another very useful function of BFT was the ability to send instant messages between users of BFT display systems. This was useful because radios often didn't work, but BFT usually did. Radios have always had problems because they are either FM (meaning line of sight transmission) or AM (subject to atmospheric interference.) Thus satellite based communications were much preferred. While headquarters could set up a satellite dish and establish a local Internet network, people in vehicles or running around on foot needed an Iridium satellite phone or BFT to be sure of always getting through.
The main reason for BFT was to keep track of where all your troops were, and to avoid friendly fire situations when a lot of units were close to each other at night or in bad weather. BFT was first used in Afghanistan, where headquarters in the United States or the Persian Gulf could keep track of where all their Special Forces A Teams were.
Based on the Iraq experience, there is a lot of enthusiasm to distribute more BFT transmitters, and more tracking stations (perhaps using a PDA size display.) The instant messaging capability was very popular and company and battalion commanders all want it.


This is my entry for a D&AD Student Competition working alongside Pearson. I had to create a campaign about an issues that will face education in 10 years. As my dissertation is about the current state of creativity within the education system today I thought that this project would link in greatly.


Enforcement action is being threatened against a construction manufacturing site that has sprung up on the Isle of Dogs without planning permission.
Families complaining to Tower Hamlets about pollution and noise from the Reddington site in Cuba Street, Millwall, discovered there was no planning consent for the work.
Now the council is warning Reddinton that "the use of the site must cease" where reinforced concrete panels are being assembled for developers of the Landmark Pinnacle skyscraper going up in Westferry Road nearby.
The council's compliance manager Desmond Adumekwe warned that failure to stop the work or comply with an enforcement notice could mean fines and prosecutions.
The move follows pressure from Tory opposition councillor Andrew Wood whose Canary Wharf ward includes the site. He first raised the issue in April—but still, the work in Cuba Street continues.
One of the neighbours in Cuba Street told the East London Advertiser: "We hear banging and hammering all day long. Trying to work from home is impossible.
Lorries deliver concrete and there is the constant thud of panels being loaded onto trucks. It looks like they're making balconies, cutting steel rods with a noisy grinders.
The families noticed the site being used for storage in March, but the reinforcing concrete assembly work started two weeks later.
But the noisy work is continuing in Cuba Street, witnessed by the Advertiser this week, two months after complaints were lodged at the town hall. The site had being used by Reddington had been empty several years after Ballymore Homes was refused planning permission for a tower block.
We have contacted Reddington's in Borehamwood and are waiting for a response to the complaints.

I don't think I've ever told you guys about my housekeeper! Have I? I've told some of my followers about her on social media, so if you follow me there you might have met her already. If not, let me introduce her.
My housekeeper's name is Roomba. She's a darling round little lady :). I've had her for a couple of years and I just love her to pieces. I can't imagine living without her now! She's like family.
She travels around the house picking up all those pesky dust bunnies, the flyaway dog hair (even though our dogs don't shed, they still have hair that creates dust bunnies!) and keeps our floors free of any sand or dirt that finds its way inside.
Roomba can travel across our hard floors, rugs (and easily goes up and over the edges of them!), and under beds and furniture. I used to think a housekeeper like this would be unnecessary, but I was so wrong! It is amazing it is to have a little helper keeping up with my floors every day.
.You can see a little video snippet above of how it goes up and over our thick rug!
Get your own housekeeper HERE!
She's worth every penny :).
I love our Roomba, too! I call mine Roombert, and he's a workhorse!
I love mine as well. Our is called Rosie.
Ah, Rosie is the PERFECT name for her.
I want one SO bad! However, I think it would be a disaster if my cat yacked up a hairball -which she is known to do fairly frequently. I can just see barf tracked all over my house. Yuck!
Oh yeah. Agreed. What I do to avoid any unexpected situations is to do a quick run through and pick up anything that I wouldn't want to get sucked up or spread around. Then I turn on Roomba and head back to my own tasks. She is very efficient and I can get more done knowing she's handling the floors!
I'm fascinated by the Roomba but haven't taken the plunge yet. Someday, soon!
I can't wait to get mine that I ordered yesterday! I have two dogs that shed terribly and it's quite a chore keeping up with the dog hair!
Hi Melissa! Excited to meet you at Haven this week! I am obsessed with Dutch doors! If you need any help let me know. I'm traveling with my sister!
Hi Melissa, could you tell me where you got those large prints on the wall? I cannot see them very well but they look like botanicals. I am currently looking for something similar. Thanks! Love your blog!
They are from Ballard Designs!

How many different sized banners will you need for an indoor expo?
There's only so much you can do with indoor expos. You have limited room, and you don't want your stand to be too cluttered. The expo hall will be full of people, and between the noise, crowds, and bustling activity, your customers may feel hemmed in and need to step out frequently. You want your stand to be light, airy, and soothing, so they'll spend more time in it. This could mean using fewer banners and leaving more open space.
Depending on the set-up you select, you could use three to four banner types. You want a media wall for your backdrop, buntings for your border, retractables or pull-up banners for your dais, and desk-top banners for your service desk. Teardops and feather flags work better in outdoor settings, and you don't have much space for them anyway. A better alternative is to buy or rent a comprehensive exhibition kit. Here at Display Systems, we have several pre-packaged sets.
Our Webloc Edge Pop-up is a good example of this. It's an all-in-one banner kit complete with its own carry case, so all your pieces fit snugly in a padded bag. The case even has castors for easy transport. To assemble your pop-up, pull taut fabric (with subtle silicone stitchery) over its frame and slip it into a tailored groove. The result is a smooth, seamless finish that can be curved into a variety of shapes and sizes. Our Webloc expo system has optional front-lights and easy set-up for backlights. Both are useful for your indoor stand.
If you'd like to kick it up a notch, you can try our PromoDek flooring. It works well both indoors and outdoors, providing additional anchoring for your stand. PromoDek tiles use award-wining click frame technology to make your floor as small or large as you want. A literally limitless number of squares can clip into each other using individual connection cubes. Once you've achieved your desired size, you can use triangular edge pieces to mark your outer border.
On top of your floor tiles, you can lay printed sheets for promotional messaging. Top them off with see-through anti-slip covers that allow your guests to 'walk all over you' with or without boots. These keep your promotional print-outs clean, maintaining their condition and allowing you to recycle them for future events. The perforation in the floor tiles gives you an option for backlighting / under-lighting. Combine tiles in different shapes and sizes to get the desired overall effect. We even have specially designed corner pieces that you can twist into place. #TwistAndClick. You could also try some of our other pop-up options.
They're all built off SEG technology (Silicone Edge Graphics) but their sizing and context are different, so if your booth has smaller square footage, you could pick a Webloc GT or GT mini. Aside from their miniaturised benefits, their carry cases double as display tables. And if you want to go really hi-tech, check out our Spidermount kit. It's Webloc framing, but with the digital LCD screen. So, how many banner sizes do you need? For regular styling, three or four. For quick-and-easy pop-ups, just one.
For all your expo needs, call Display Systems today on 1300 Displays.

This Campaign To End Children's Oppression Worldwide Will Move You To Tears
By Brianna Wiest
When you live a more privileged life, it can sometimes be hard to remember that the oppression of different groups of people is still a significant issue all around the world (including in the United States). But what's often lost in the discussion of underprivileged groups is the mistreatment of children, which is still a very pertinent issue globally. That's why this campaign to end children's oppression worldwide will move you to tears, remind you just how far we have to go, and encourage you to get to work.
Created by the nonprofit group Right to Play, which according to AdWeek, provides "educational programs in 15 countries to foster the protection, education and empowerment of young people." The group made the video for Canada's International Children's Day celebration (also known as Universal Children's Day), which takes place on Nov. 20.
The group also teaches underprivileged kids about hygiene, health, and safety. "We do a lot work on psycho-social support in refugee camps using play-based techniques to help children deal with the trauma of war that they have experienced," CEO Kevin Frey told AdWeek. One such example of their work is teaching kids "Mosquito Tag" in areas that are prone to malaria outbreaks. In the game, the children have to run away from the kids who are "mosquitos," and they have to use a protective net over their heads. The point is to better understand how the infection is spread, and what to do as a preventative measure.
Right To Play on YouTube
However, this particular campaign video is more about the treatment that children should not have to tolerate from adults.
The video opens with a montage of kids in different countries. Some are holding machine guns, others are posing in their wedding dresses as child brides, and others are shown in the blur of a sweatshop, emerging as a narrator recites the following: "They think they can traffic us, abuse us, marry us, and use us. They think that our futures are their own to shape … but we'll rise above the fear and the hurt and pain."
The video continues: "Our lives are worth more than the clothing we made. Our lives are worth more than the guns and grenades. Our lives are worth more than just dying from AIDS... So don't treat us like only a fraction of our worth. We should know how to read, not just how to give birth. We're not just taking up space on someone else's earth. We're not your cheap labor. We're not your child brides. We're not just poor kids with some flies in our eyes. And we won't just stand by while the world lets us die. No, we rise."
The organization explains on its website that it serves 1.9 million children each week, and its primary goals are to keep girls safe, ensure girls have a voice, reduce unwanted sex, build peaceful communities, prevent HIV, and encourage young women to lead, among other initiatives.
"We bring the power of play to 15 countries, each with their own set of challenges for children. In these countries, we empower girls to resist early marriage and to continue their education," the organization explains on its site. "We teach children how to protect themselves from diseases like HIV and malaria. We help child laborers return to school. And we inspire refugee youth living in dire camp conditions to heal and succeed."
Be all of that as it is, it's inspiring and empowering to give kids a voice, as they are so profoundly mistreated in many parts of the world. Sure, part of the problem is inaccessible healthcare and other issues, but it's also adults that want to capitalize on the voicelessness of children, employing them as slaves, using them as wives and child-bearers without their consent, and initiating them into being soldiers in someone else's war.
The truth is that these problems will not be solved overnight, but with organizations like Right to Play making such significant strides and the powerful messaging released this week, it's clear that the world is on its way.

Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional: week ending 1 January 2021
Comparison of weekly deaths occurrence in England and Wales
Weekly deaths for 2020 are for the period from 28 December 2019 to 1 January 2021; therefore, these figures do not represent the calendar year 2020.
The number of deaths registered in England and Wales was affected by the Boxing Day and New Year's Day Bank Holidays; 10,069 deaths were registered in the week ending 1 January 2021 (Week 53), 1,451 fewer deaths than in Week 52; trends in this week's release should be interpreted with caution.
In Week 53, the number of deaths registered was 26.6% above the five-year average (2,115 deaths higher) but this increase should be treated with caution.
Of the deaths registered in Week 53, 3,144 mentioned "novel coronavirus (COVID-19)", accounting for 31.2% of all deaths in England and Wales; in Week 53, deaths involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) increased compared with Week 52 (by 232 deaths).
Of the 3,144 deaths involving COVID-19, 2,741 had this recorded as the underlying cause of death (87.2%).
Of the 2,494 deaths that involved Influenza and Pneumonia, 187 had this recorded as the underlying cause of death (7.5%).
In England, the total number of deaths decreased from 10,680 (Week 52) to 9,325 (Week 53); all English regions had a higher number of deaths than the five-year average for the eighth week in a row.
In Week 53, the number of deaths involving COVID-19 decreased in four of the nine English regions compared with Week 52, but increased in the other five (North West, East of England, London, South East and South West).
In Wales, the number of deaths involving COVID-19 increased from 278 (Week 52) to 310 (Week 53) while the total number of deaths in Week 53 was 209 higher than the five-year average.
In this week's bulletin, we use the Week 52 five-year average to compare against Week 53 deaths as only one other year in the last five years had a Week 53; because of this, we are unable to provide estimates for the number of deaths that actually occurred in Week 53.
The number of deaths registered in the UK in the week ending 1 January 2021 was 11,541, which was 2,304 higher than the five-year average; of deaths registered in the UK in Week 53, 3,417 deaths involved COVID-19, 220 higher than in Week 52.

All figures for 2020 and 2021 are provisional.
The number of deaths registered in Weeks 19, 20, 22, 23, 36, 37, 52 and 53 were affected by the early May, late May, August, Christmas and New Year Bank Holidays (Friday 8 May 2020, Monday 25 May 2020, Monday 31 August 2020, Friday 25 December 2020, Monday 28 December 2020, Friday 1 January 2021); the impact of the early May Bank Holiday was analysed in our Week 20 bulletin.

The provisional number of deaths registered in England and Wales decreased from 11,520 in Week 52 (week ending 25 December 2020) to 10,069 in Week 53 (week ending 1 January 2021). The number of deaths was 26.6% above the five-year average (2,115 deaths higher).
A decrease between Weeks 51 and 52 is usually observed because of the impact of the Christmas bank holidays. One of the reasons that Week 52 of 2020 was above the five-year average is because it had one bank holiday compared with Week 52 having two bank holidays in four of the five years (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019) in the five-year average. Week 53, however, included both the Boxing Day and New Year's Day Bank Holidays, which may account for the decrease in comparison with Week 52. We use the Week 52 five-year average to compare against Week 53 deaths as only one other year in the last five years had a Week 53. Like last week, the trends should therefore be interpreted with caution this week.
In England, the number of deaths decreased from 10,680 in Week 52 to 9,325 in Week 53, which was 1,904 deaths (25.7%) higher than the Week 52 five-year average (Figure 1).
In Wales, the number of deaths decreased from 825 in Week 52 to 727 in Week 53, which was 209 deaths (40.3%) higher than the Week 52 five-year average (Figure 1).
Figure 2: The number of deaths involving COVID-19 increased in Week 53
Deaths involving and due to COVID-19, and Influenza and Pneumonia, England and Wales, deaths registered in 2020
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10) definitions are as follows: coronavirus (COVID-19) (U07.1 and U07.2) and Influenza and Pneumonia (J09-J18).
We use the term "due to COVID-19" or "due to Influenza and Pneumonia" when referring only to deaths where that illness was recorded as the underlying cause of death. We use the term "involving COVID-19" or "involving Influenza and Pneumonia" when referring to deaths that had that illness mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, whether as an underlying cause or not.
The number of death registrations in England and Wales involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) increased from 2,912 in Week 52 to 3,144 in Week 53 – an 8.0% increase. Of all deaths registered in Week 53, 31.2% mentioned COVID-19; this is the highest proportion of deaths involving COVID-19 since Week 18 (week ending 1 May 2020).
In England, the number of deaths involving COVID-19 was 2,831, accounting for 30.4% of all deaths. In Wales, 310 deaths involved COVID-19, 42.6% of all deaths.
Of the 3,144 deaths in England and Wales that involved COVID-19, 2,741 had this recorded as the underlying cause of death (87.2%, Figure 2). Of the 2,494 deaths that involved Influenza and Pneumonia, 187 had this recorded as the underlying cause of death (7.5%).
Deaths that involved both COVID-19, and Influenza and Pneumonia have been included in both categories for consistency when comparing with the underlying cause of death. Influenza and Pneumonia has been included for comparison, as a well-understood cause of death involving respiratory infection that is likely to have somewhat similar risk factors to COVID-19. More detailed analysis is available in our Deaths due to coronavirus (COVID-19) compared with deaths from influenza and pneumonia release.
We have developed an experimental statistical model to estimate the number of deaths that actually occurred in a given week, rather than the number registered. However, for Week 53 of 2020 (week ending 1 January 2021) we are not currently able to provide an estimate of death occurrences in addition to the registration figures. This is because a "53rd week" occurs only in a minority of years; and when it does occur, contains a variable number of bank holidays, affecting the patterns of death registration. Our statistical model based on the years 2015 to 2018 cannot provide reliable estimates for this exceptional situation. We will publish estimated occurrences for Week 1 of 2021 in the next weekly bulletin and then calculate estimates for Week 53 of 2020 retrospectively.
Figure 3: Deaths not involving COVID-19 were below the five-year average in Week 53
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10) definitions are as follows; coronavirus (COVID-19) (U07.1 and U07.2).
Between Weeks 1 and 12 in 2020, 138,916 deaths were registered, which was 4,822 fewer than the five-year average for these weeks. However, between Weeks 13 and 53, 475,198 deaths were registered, which was 79,853 more than the five-year average.
Using the most up-to-date data we have available, the number of deaths up to 1 January 2021 was 614,096, which is 75,013 more than the five-year average. Of the deaths registered by 1 January 2021, 81,669 mentioned COVID-19 on the death certificate. This is 13.3% of all deaths in England and Wales.
In England, the number of deaths up to 1 January 2021 was 575,461, which is 71,731 (14.2%) more than the five-year average. Of these, 76,610 deaths (13.3%) mentioned COVID-19.
In Wales, the number of deaths up to 1 January 2021 was 37,794, which is 3,945 (11.7%) more than the five-year average. Of these, 4,963 deaths (13.1%) mentioned COVID-19.
In Week 53 (week ending 1 January 2021), the number of deaths involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) in England and Wales increased in most age groups compared with Week 52, except for people aged between 45 and 49 years (1 fewer death) and 80 and 84 years (22 fewer deaths). The biggest increase was seen in those aged between 85 and 89 years (100 more deaths). More than three-quarters (75.3%) of deaths involving COVID-19 were in people aged 75 years and over.
Across Weeks 1 to 53 of 2020, 55.3% of all deaths involving COVID-19 were in males. There were more deaths in females aged 85 years and over (18,333) than males aged 85 years and over (15,984). However, these numbers do not account for the population structure where there are more women aged over 85 years than men.
Looking at excess deaths by age group, the number of deaths up to 1 January 2021 was above the five-year average for all age groups above 14 years (Figure 4).

In Week 53 (week ending 1 January 2021), the total number of deaths registered was higher than the five-year average in all English regions and Wales for the eighth week in a row (Figure 5). The largest increase on the five-year average was for London (54.3% higher).
In Week 53, there were 310 deaths involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) registered in Wales – an 11.5% increase compared with Week 52 (278 deaths).
Across the English regions, the South East had the largest number of deaths involving COVID-19 (523 deaths), while the English region with the highest proportion of deaths involving COVID-19 was London.
Deaths involving COVID-19 increased in Week 53 in five out of nine English regions, with the largest increase seen in London. More detailed geographic analysis can be found in our Monthly mortality analysis release.

The year-to-date analysis shows that, of deaths involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) up to Week 53 (week ending 1 January 2021), 67.8% (55,372 deaths) occurred in hospital, with the remainder occurring in care homes (20,661 deaths), private homes (3,942 deaths), hospices (1,100 deaths), other communal establishments (315 deaths) and elsewhere (279 deaths).
Between Weeks 52 and 53, the number of deaths involving COVID-19 increased in hospitals, care homes, private homes, hospices and elsewhere (167, 30, 25, 9 and 1 more death respectively). Deaths involving COVID-19 in hospitals as a proportion of all deaths in hospitals increased to 47.7% in Week 53 (from 40.2% in Week 52). Deaths involving COVID-19 in care homes accounted for over one-quarter of all deaths in care homes in Week 53 (27.6%), an increase from Week 52 (24.0%).
Detailed analysis on deaths of care home residents is available in Deaths involving COVID-19 in the care sector, England and Wales: deaths occurring up to 12 June 2020 and registered up to 20 June 2020.
From next week (19 January 2021) the weekly deaths publication will also include a dataset of weekly deaths to care home residents. The term "care home resident" used in this dataset refers to all deaths where either (a) the death occurred in a care home or (b) the death occurred elsewhere but the place of residence of the deceased was recorded as a care home. The figures should not be confused with "deaths in care homes" as reported within this bulletin, which refers only to category (a).
As well as Office for National Statistics (ONS) data, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) provides numbers of deaths involving COVID-19 in care homes in England that are based on the date the death was notified to the CQC. From 10 April (the first day when data were collected using the CQC's new method of identifying deaths involving COVID-19) to 8 January 2021, there were 20,042 deaths of residents in care homes involving COVID-19. Of these deaths, 824 were notified in the week up to 8 January. More information on the data provided by the CQC can be found in our joint transparency statement.
In Wales, the Welsh Government publishes the number of deaths of care home residents involving COVID-19 notified to the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW). Between 1 March 2020 and 1 January 2021, there were 1,269 deaths of residents in care homes involving COVID-19.
Figure 6: Excess deaths in private homes, hospitals and care homes fell in Week 53, while deaths were below the five-year average in other locations
Number of excess deaths by place of occurrence, England and Wales, registered between 7 March 2020 and 1 January 2021
In Week 53, the numbers of deaths in private homes, hospitals and care homes were above the five-year average (Figure 6). The largest proportion of excess deaths was registered in hospitals (1,272 deaths), followed by private homes (679 deaths) and care homes (185 deaths). The number of deaths in other locations was below the five-year average (22 deaths fewer).
These increases compared with the five-year average must be interpreted with caution, because of the impact of moveable public holidays on the number of deaths registered.
Looking in more detail at deaths in private homes in Week 53, males accounted for 365 excess deaths compared with 314 for females. Overall, 82.0% of the excess deaths in private homes were of those aged 70 years and over (557 excess deaths); this proportion has increased from 74.9% (1,029 excess deaths) in Week 52.
The Deaths in private homes release provides analysis for deaths registered from 28 December 2019 to 11 September 2020. In addition, more detailed analysis of excess deaths in England is produced by Public Health England (PHE) on a weekly basis.

Figure 7 is based on date of death for deaths registered up to 9 January 2021, rather than date of registration. As more deaths are registered, deaths per day are likely to increase, especially for later dates. Looking at the number of deaths that occurred in Week 53, 79.2% of deaths occurred in hospitals, and care homes accounted for 15.0% of all deaths involving COVID-19; this may change as more deaths are registered.
A death of a man aged 80 to 84 years was registered in the week ending 4 September 2020 (Week 36) that occurred in the week ending 31 January 2020 (Week 5). This is the earliest known death involving COVID-19 in the UK. There was also a death of a man aged 55 to 59 years registered in the week ending 21 August 2020 (Week 34) that occurred in the week ending 7 February 2020 (Week 6), and a death of a woman aged 30 to 34 years that was registered by 24 October 2020 and occurred in the week ending 28 February 2020 (Week 9).

Across the UK, there were 11,541 deaths (all causes) registered in Week 53 (week ending 1 January 2021), which was 2,304 deaths higher than the UK five-year average and 1,479 fewer deaths than in Week 52. Of these deaths, 3,417 involved the coronavirus (COVID-19), 220 more deaths than in Week 52 (6.9% increase) (Figure 8).
In Week 53, England had the highest number of deaths involving COVID-19 with 2,831 deaths, followed by Wales with 310 deaths, Scotland with 183 deaths and Northern Ireland with 93 deaths.
7. Comparison of weekly deaths occurrence in England and Wales
In England, including deaths that occurred up to 1 January 2021 but were registered up to 9 January 2021, of those we have processed so far, the number involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) was 79,180.
In Wales, including deaths that occurred up to 1 January 2021 but were registered up to 9 January 2021, of those we have processed so far, the number involving COVID-19 was 5,169. The comparative number of death notifications reported by the DHSC on GOV.UK (based on data from PHW) where the death occurred within 28 days of testing was 3,564 and the number of deaths by date of death was 3,765 deaths.

Provisional counts of the number of deaths registered in England and Wales, by age, sex and region, in the latest weeks for which data are available. Includes data on coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths.
To meet user needs, we publish very timely but provisional counts of death registrations in England and Wales in our Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional dataset. These are presented by sex, age group and regions (within England) as well as for Wales as a whole. To allow time for registration and processing, these figures are published 11 days after the week ends. Because of the rapidly changing situation, in this bulletin we have also given provisional updated totals for death occurrences based on the latest available death registrations, up to 9 January 2021.
From the bulletin dated 3 November 2020, we have added two additional analyses.
Previously, we gave a breakdown of deaths involving COVID-19 into those where COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death ("due to COVID-19") and those where it was a contributory factor ("involving COVID-19") in the monthly mortality analysis; because of high public interest, this distinction is now shown in Figure 2 of the weekly bulletin.
This bulletin is based mainly on the date deaths are registered, not the date of death, because of the time taken for a death to be registered. Deaths in England and Wales are normally registered within five days, but there can be a considerably longer delay in some circumstances, particularly when the death is referred to a coroner.
We have developed a statistical model to estimate the number of deaths likely to have occurred in each week, based on previous experience of the pattern of registration delays, including the effects of bank holidays. The method is described in the article Predicting total weekly death occurrences in England and Wales: methodology and the results are shown in the tab, "Estimated total deaths 2020", of the accompanying dataset.

Gators' fresh troops making difference in final quarter
Robbie Andreu @RobbieAndreu
Oct 2, 2018 at 5:32 PM Oct 2, 2018 at 7:05 PM
"Our guys are starting to see the value of when you rotate guys you can keep guys fresh," said Florida defensive coordinator Todd Grantham.
Flying around like they were jacked up on a potent energy drink, Florida's defensive players made Mississippi State dual-threat quarterback Nick Fitzgerald look like an immobile pocket passer in the decisive fourth quarter Saturday night in Starkville.
The Gators harassed him. They hit him. They sacked him. They made him appear helpless and hopeless.
And in the end, they buried him with a lightning-fast safety blitz that gave him zero time to react.
They were able to do this because the Gators were running on fresh legs.
Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham had liberally substituted throughout the first three quarters, so when the game went into the fourth quarter, the Gators weren't weary or running on heavy legs. They were energized and light on their feet.
They got after Fitzgerald and the MSU offense in a big, fast way.
"There's no doubt (that was a major factor)," Grantham said. "If you go back and watch our get off and our pass rush in the fourth quarter (you'll see). For example, (rush end) Jachai Polite and Cece Jefferson were basically rotating throughout the game.
"(Polite) was right at 30-something plays. We start that two-minute drive at the end of the game, he gets a sack. And then Cece actually comes in and gets another one. He got a penalty on him, but he ended up with a sack and some good pressure.
"Our guys are starting to see the value of when you rotate guys you can keep guys fresh. The value of rotating guys showed up and I think our guys are buying into it."
Grantham said the defensive coaches played between 22 and 24 players on defense in the game. The Gators rotated players in and out throughout, including the fourth quarter, which the UF defense dominated.
In the quarter, the defense held the MSU offense to just three first downs (two by penalty) and only 11 total yards — 21 passing and minus-10 rushing.
Oh, yeah, and the Gators sacked Fitzgerald three times in the quarter, the same number of times they sacked him in the first quarter.
So, it appears the defense was as fresh in the fourth quarter as it was in the first.
Rotating multiple players to keep everyone fresh throughout the game, especially on defense, is part of Dan Mullen's coaching philosophy.
"One thing that is different than what a lot of people do defensively, I like to rotate," Mullen said. "Todd and our defensive staff understand, we like to rotate players.
"When you get to the fourth quarter of a game like last week, your defense is fresh. It's fresh late in the game, the final drive of the game."
The Gators played 11 different defensive linemen in the 13-6 win over Mississippi State. Conversely, MSU pretty much stayed with its starting line throughout the game.
In the fourth quarter, while the UF defense was shutting down the Bulldogs, the UF offense was sustaining drives and adding an important field goal.
"Our d-line turned it up," nickel defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson said. "Mississippi State, they have a great defensive line. Watching them play on defense, they were good. They're physical and fast up front, but not having depth can really wear you down.
"Having depth on our sideline , our d-line was constantly rolling, having different guys coming in. Jachai was turning it up in the fourth quarter, Cece was fresh. (Tackle) T.J. Slaton was fresh. (Tackle) Kyree Campbell and those guys. When their number was called, they just went and made plays. They weren't too tired and weren't exhausted from anything."
One potential problem with playing so many players is that some, especially the better ones, want to play as many plays as they can. They don't want to come out.
"I think everyone is buying in to what we're trying to do," Mullen said. "Guys can be like, 'I don't like coming off the field. I want to stay on the field. I want to do this.' But what you see is when you get to the fourth quarter, your defense is fresh.
"The players are understanding that and starting to buy into it."
It's easier to buy in when you're getting results. And that's what the Gators are doing, staying fresh and playing fast to the finish.

The reason why the Chelsea vs Tottenham Carabao Cup semi-final second leg date has been delayed
The EFL are having to wait to announce details of the semi-finals
Lee WilmotHead of Football
Chelsea and Tottenham will go head-to-head in the Carabao Cup semi-finals this month.
But no one knows when the second legs will be played yet.
Spurs saw off north London rivals Arsenal in the quarter-finals to set up a two-legged semi-final against the Blues, who needed a late Eden Hazard goal to beat Bournemouth.
According to the EFL official website, the semi-final ties are due to be played in the weeks commencing January 7 and January 21.
Premier League deals: Every signing for each London club during the January transfer window 2019
The first leg will be played at Wembley Stadium - Tottenham's temporary home until their new ground is ready - next Tuesday at 8pm.
But there is no confirmed date for the return leg at Stamford Bridge.
That is because the EFL is concerned about a "complicated and congested fixture schedule" with both teams in Premier League and expected to be in FA Cup fourth round action.

In a statement the EFL said: "The dates for Carabao Cup semi-final second legs will be confirmed following the conclusion of the FA Cup round four draw on Monday, January 7.
"Confirmed dates for the first leg ties were released earlier this week but finalising arrangements for the return legs is being held up by a complicated and congested fixture schedule.
"The challenge comes as a result of club involvement in multiple competitions, and the EFL is working closely with the Premier League and the Football Association to reach an acceptable solution for all parties."

Spurs and semi-finalists on the other side of the draw Manchester City have games currently scheduled for Sunday, January 20, and would therefore prefer to avoid playing their second legs on Tuesday, January 22.
But if the game was moved to Thursday, January 24, there are potential FA Cup fourth round games the following weekend to consider.

Q: What are the downsides of having a static Context variable in an Android application? In Android programming the single most used parameter that is passed almost everywhere is Context. And we know the purposes it serves. But we can't find out why we should pass it for those purposes, and why not accessing it from a global static place.
Based on Uncle Bob's Clean Code, one way of getting cleaner code is by reducing parameters, making them more meaningful to the task you're doing. Based on this, and based on DRYing parameters, we decided to give it a shot, and create a fully-featured application that has activities, fragments, foreground and background services, notifications, media, etc. and uses many device APIs like camera, GPS, etc. and is a real-world application, and only have one static context initialized at the application creation.
So in the application creation we created a public static Context context variable, and we initialized it using getApplicationContext() method in onCreate() override.
Then instead of passing context like this, getContext, etc. throughout code, we simply used App.context, and we didn't pass it as a constructor parameter to our adapters and other utility functions.
Now after venturing this bold movement, we don't see any problem with our app. Everything works just fine, battery consumption is not changed, at least it's not measureable to us so it's very low. Memory consumption is not changed and we can't measure it. Application performance and speed is not changed measurably.
So we have this really big question in our mind that, what are the downsides on our approach? Why Android guys don't just expose a global context that can be initialized and remove all context parameters from the entire ecosystem, only accessing that global variable anytime they need it?

A: Please read this blog carefully you will understand Context better.
Static variables defined at global scope of the class and so they also refereed as class member.

*

*You can not control creation and destruction of static variable.
Usefully they have been created at program loading and destroyed
when program unload.

*Since static variable are class member, all threads tries to access
them has to be  manage.

*If one thread change value of a static variable that can possibly
break functionality of other threads.

A: In my projects, I use the static application context for everything except graphics. The fact is that the application  context does not contain information about the style and if you create a widget based on it, then it will have a default style.
On this moment, I have never faced the problems of this approach. Importantly, I do not write tests for my projects. But I'm sure that this will not be a problem.
I also will be very grateful if you point me to the problems of such use of the context. (except testing)

A: Your application doesn't break because you are using the Application Context: this may not be THE best practice, but it is generally fine.
What you are missing there is that Context is an abstract class with many different implementations (an Activity is a Context, a Service is a Context, the Application is a Context) with different properties and capabilities. The Activity has an entire graphic context associated whit it and a full view hierarchy that can occupy megabytes in memory.
One common mistake (that I did myself in my early days) was to store the Activity in a static field: this led to memory leaks by having two entire views hierarchy in memory as soon as the user puts the app in background, the Activity reaches onDestroy(...) callback and the user opens the app again.

Reading were not intimidated by their opposition and fired their way into a two-goal through Andrija Novakovich and Rowan Liburd; a late goal from the visitors could not put the dampeners on what was a superb home performance as the Royals saw out the 2-1 win.

I just made an account x24 - thanks!


So why change it to a chest for the public quests? What was broken in the old method?
It was easy enough to afk farm some of the PQ's. This solves the issue because if they are afk, they'll miss out on the reward.
Seems like an actual good solution to a problem…even if it is six months too late.
People were sitting around afk and getting rewards. Now they get flung a couple hundred metres and get to find a public chest reward. This is how it should have been implemented from the get-go. These are the things that need to be fixed, rather than making junky zones like proving grounds, etc.
The patch also corrected a player bonus, in regards to Guided Ascension. When "Guided Ascension XP Remaining" was reduced to under zero, the counter would initially reset to a figure somewhere in the billions. Then it would settle to a figure in the millions. Now when you reach or go below zero, your XP Remaining is zero.
A remarkable message, in that if you can't login, you won't be able to see the MOTD. I don't see this warning anywhere else.
This chest idea was a stupid idea to fix the problem, already lost 2 chests because they spawned under the ground or in a tree or somewhere else we could not find it. And untrackable, what a kick in the teeth.
Bots were the problem, not afk-ers. PQs do not give any reward if you don't tag the mob. I have left alt at OF PQ and been working and not noticed it had run. No reward. PQs are dying on the vine because no one wants to spend 30 min killing a mob and have the chest be underground. happens way too often.
