Hello Guys! I hope you are doing great and having fun. I am back to give you a daily dose of knowledge that will enhance your learning skills and puts you ahead from others. Today, I am going to give you details on the Introduction to JFET. It is a Junction Field Effect Transistor which consists of three terminals named as drain, source and gate. It comes in two configurations called P-Type channel and N-Type channel. I'll give you a brief details on JFET and try to cover as many aspects as possible. Let's get started:
JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) is a uni-polar voltage controlled device that consists of three terminals called drain, source and gate.
Unlike bipolar junction transistors which are bipolar current controlled device in which small amount of base current is used to control the large amount of current at the collector and emitter side, JFET is a uni-polar voltage controlled device in which voltage applied to the gate terminal allows the current to flow through JFET, resulting in input applied voltage equals to the current flowing through the transistor.
In JFET, gate is always negatively biased as compared to source.
As compared to bipolar junction transistors, JFET are uni-polar because current carriers in case of JFET are either electrons or holes while bipolar junction transistors are operated by the movement of both electrons and holes.
The operation of JFET depends on the electric field created by input applied voltage, hence it is called Field Effect Transistor.
JFET can be classified into two types on the bases of their operation i.e. N-Type and P-Type JFET.
In JFET, current carrying path between drain and source is called channel which contains no pn-junction. Channel can be made up of P-Type or N-Type semiconductor.
Current flowing through this channel widely depends on the input voltage applied to the gate terminal of JFET.
Field effect transistors generally comes in two types JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistors) and MOSFET( Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors)
As stated earlier, JFET contains no pn-junction, instead it comes with channel that consists of N type or P type semiconductor that passes between source and drain terminals of JFET.
JFETs are classified into two main configurations.
N-Type Configuration
P-Type Configuration
1: N-Type Configuration
In N-Type configuration current flowing through the channel is negative i.e. current flow is carried out by the flow of electrons which are also termed as donor impurities.
The measure of conductivity of electron in N-Type configuration is much higher than the holes in P-Type configuration, because electrons come with high level of mobility than holes. Hence, in terms of conductivity, N-Type configuration is more efficient than P-Type configuration.
Channel is a conducting path between drain and source. Within this channel, there lies a third terminal called Gate at which input voltage is applied that is used to control the current flowing through the JFET.
As channel is resistive in nature, resulting in creating the voltage gradient which becomes less positive as we move from drain to source terminal. This less positive voltage makes drain terminal high reverse biased and source terminal low reverse biased. This bias creates a depletion region whose width is directly proportional to the bias itself.
The current carrying path between source and drain is controlled by the voltage applied to the gate terminal. In an N-Type configuration of JFET this gate voltage is negative while in case of P-Type configuration it is positive.
It is important to note that gate current in reverse biased condition in the JEFT is practically zero, while base current in Bipolar junction transistor always comes with a value greater than zero.
N-Type Channel Biasing
Following is the figure shows N-Type semiconductor with P-Type material which forms the reverse biased PN-junction that creates a depletion region around the gate terminal of JFET.
Depletion region will be created in the absence of external voltages. JFET are also termed as depletion mode components.
The depletion region will create a voltage gradient of some thickness which ultimately limits the flow of current, hence results in increasing the overall resistance of FET.
It is clear from the figure above that most part of depletion region lies between the gate and drain terminals which least part lies between the gate and source terminals which means resistance between gate and drain terminal appears more than the resistance between gate and source terminals.
In the absence of external input voltage at gate and small voltage at the drain and source Vds allows the saturation current to flow between drain and source.
The amount of current flowing through the pn-junction will be restricted by the depletion region around the pn-junction.
It is important to note, if we apply negative voltage at the gate and source Vgs terminals, it will cause the depletion region to grow which ultimately restricts the flow of current, hence results in decreasing the overall conduction of transistor.
If the voltage applied at the gate terminal Vgs appears to be more negative, it will allow the depletion region to increase and results in decreasing the overall width of channel. The moment comes when applied voltage at gate terminal appears to be negative to the point that will squeeze the channel and won't allow a fraction of current to flow between source and drain terminals.
The negative voltage applied to the gate terminal at which no current flows between drain and source terminals is called "Pinch-off Voltage".
In pinch off region negative voltage at the gate terminal Vgs controls the overall conductivity of the channel. This is the reason JFET are called voltage controlled devices.
Voltage appears at the gate terminal must not be positive, otherwise it will make resistance zero and allows the current to flow between gate terminal instead of source terminal. Positive voltage at the base terminal can damage the transistor at large.
2: P-Type Configuration:
In P-Type configuration current flowing through the channel is positive i.e. current flow is carried out by the flow of holes which are also termed as acceptor impurities. Both N-Type and P-Type configurations come with same characteristics with some exceptions.
Current carriers in N-Type configuration are electorn, hence current appears to be negative
Current carriers in P-Type configuration are holes, hence current appears to be positive.
Biasing voltage in P-Type configuration comes with reverse polarity.
The voltage applied at the gate terminal is used to control the current flowing between source and drain. As JFET is a voltage controlled device and no current flows through gate terminals Ig=0. Hence in that case, current flowing out from source terminal will be equal to the current flowing into the drain terminal i.e. Is=Id
V * I Curves of N-Channel JFET
Following figure depicts the four region of operation of JFET.
Ohmic Region: Region is called ohmic region when Vgs=0. In this region JFET operates like a voltage controlled resistor.
Pinch off or Cut-off Region: It is region at which voltage applied to the gate is negative to the point which causes depletion region to increase and allows the current carrying width to decrease till it disappears, resulting in maximum resistance to appear and current flowing through the channel will be zero.
Active or Saturation Region: The region that is controlled by gate voltage Vgs and where JFET becomes good conductor is called active region. Vds has no effect on active region.
Breakdown Region: Region is termed as breakdown region where voltage between source and drain appears to be maximum to the point where it breaks the resistive channel and allows the current to flow between the channel.
V * I Curves for P-Type JFET
The curves for P-Type configuration appear to be same with one exception i.e. Increase in positive voltage at the gate terminal will decrease the current at the Drain terminal Id.
Formula for Drain Current and Drain-Source Channel Resistance
Drain current at the saturation region can be calculated as follows:
Id= Idss * [ 1 - Vgs / Vp ]
Id lies between zero to Idss.
Similarly, if we know drain source voltage Vds and drain current Id, we can calculate the drain-source channel resistance.
Rds = ΔVds / Δ I d = 1 / gm
Here gm represents the "transconductance gain"
Different Modes of Operation of FETs:
FETs can be classified into three different modes of configuration.
Common Source Configuration
Common Gate Configuration
Common Drain Configuration
1: Common Source Configuration CS:
Common source configuration is an analogous to the common emitter configuration in the bipolar junction transistors. In this configuration input voltage is applied to the gate terminal and output we get is from the drain terminal. This mode of operation comes with amplified voltage and high impedance, hence it is mostly used in high audio frequency amplifies. As this is an amplifying circuit, it allows the output to be diverted 180º from its input.
2: Common Gate Configuration CG:
Common gate configuration is an analogous to the common base configuration in the bipolar junction transistors. In this configuration input voltage is applied to the source terminal and output appears at the drain terminal while gate is connected to ground. In this configuration impedance will be low as compared to common source configuration. This configuration is mostly used in high frequency and impedance matching circuits. Unlike common source configuration, here "output signal is in phase with the input signal"
3: Common Drain Configuration CD:
Common drain configuration is an analogous to the common collector configuration in the bipolar junction transistors. In this configuration input voltage is applied to the gate and output signal is collected from the source. It is important to note there is no signal applied to the drain terminal. Vdd simply depicts the bias voltage. Similar to common gate configuration, here "output signal is in phase with the input signal"
Comparison between BJT and JFET
Both, bipolar junction transistors and uni-polar field effect transistors encompass same characteristics with some exceptions.
BJT are bipolar devices i.e. they are operated by the movement of both electrons and holes. JFET are unipolar devices i.e. they are operated by the movement of either electrons or holes.
As compared to Bipolar junction transistors, JFET comes in much smaller form and can be used in many tiny electronic chips.
One major feature that differentiates between bipolar junction transistors and JFET is the input impedence. It is very high in case of JFET while it appears very low in bipolar junction transistors.
JFET are widely used in many electronic appliations. They are mainly used for amplification purpose.
JFET are used to obtain high frequency audio signal.
They are useful for obtaining impedance matching circuits.
That's all for today. I hope you have got a clear idea about JFET. However, if still you feel any doubt or query in understanding the concept of JFET, you can ask me in the comment section below. I'll be glad to help you in this regard. Your feedback and suggestion will be highly appreciated. It will help us give you quality work that resonates with your needs and expectations. Stay tuned!

English post metal band from Birmingham that had a significant effect on the development of the industrial metal genre.
With their name the band refers to the gods' food of the Aztecs, peyote (Lophophora williamsii), a stimulant that was chosen by the ancient Central Americans over less powerful plants such as teonanacatl and ololiuqui.
Peyote was awarded the title God's Flesh. When the religiously inspired Spaniards began with the conquest of Mexico in 1519, they discovered that the Indians not only worshipped other gods than they did (such as Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli), but also held different opinions about 'God's body'.
The Spanish priests who accompanied the explorers and conquerors therefore classified peyote as 'raiz diabolica' ('devils root') and they ruthlessly persecuted anyone who cultivated or used it.

Q: Selenium -- How to wait until page is completely loaded I am trying to automate some test cases using Java and Selenium WebDriver. I have the following scenario:

*

*There is a page named 'Products'. When I click on 'View Details' link
in the 'Product' page, a popup (modal-dialog) containing the details of the item appears.

*When I click on the 'Close' button in the popup the popup closes and
the page automatically refreshes (the page is just reloading, the contents remain unchanged).

*After closing the popup I need to click on 'Add Item' button in the
same page. But when WebDriver trying to find the 'Add Item' button,
if the internet speed is too fast, WebDriver can find and click the
element.

*But if the internet is slow, WebDriver finds the button before the
page refresh, but as soon as the WebDriver click on the button, the page refreshes and StaleElementReferenceException occurs.

*Even if different waits are used, all the wait conditions become true
(since the contents in the page are same before and after reload)
even before the page is reloaded and StaleElementReferenceException
occurs.

The test case works fine if Thread.sleep(3000); is used before clicking on the 'Add Item' button. Is there any other workaround for this problem?

A: It seems that you need to wait for the page to be reloaded before clicking on the "Add" button.
In this case you could wait for the "Add Item" element to become stale before clicking on the reloaded element:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
By addItem = By.xpath("//input[.='Add Item']");

// get the "Add Item" element
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(addItem));

//trigger the reaload of the page
driver.findElement(By.id("...")).click();

// wait the element "Add Item" to become stale
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.stalenessOf(element));

// click on "Add Item" once the page is reloaded
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(addItem)).click();

A: You can do this in many ways before clicking on add items:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 40);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("urelementid"))); // instead of id you can use cssSelector or xpath of your element.

or:
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated("urelement"));

You can also wait like this. If you want to wait until invisible of previous page element:
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated("urelement"));

Here is the link where you can find all the Selenium WebDriver APIs that can be used for wait and its documentation.

A: 3 answers, which you can combine:

*

*Set implicit wait immediately after creating the web driver instance:
_ = driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait;
This will try to wait until the page is fully loaded on every page navigation or page reload.

*After page navigation, call JavaScript return document.readyState until "complete" is returned. The web driver instance can serve as JavaScript executor. Sample code:
C#
new WebDriverWait(driver, MyDefaultTimeout).Until(
d => ((IJavaScriptExecutor) d).ExecuteScript("return document.readyState").Equals("complete"));

Java
new WebDriverWait(firefoxDriver, pageLoadTimeout).until(
      webDriver -> ((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete"));

*Check if the URL matches the pattern you expect.

A: There are two different ways to use delay in selenium one which is most commonly in use. Please try this:
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
second one which you can use that is simply try catch method by using that method
you can get your desire result.if you want example code feel free to contact me defiantly I will provide related code

A: yes stale element error is thrown when (taking your scenario) you have defined locator strategy to click on 'Add Item' first and then when you close the pop up the page gets refreshed hence the reference defined for 'Add Item' is lost in the memory so to overcome this you have to redefine the locator strategy for 'Add Item' again
understand it with a dummy code
// clicking on view details
driver.findElement(By.id("")).click();
// closing the pop up
driver.findElement(By.id("")).click();

// and when you try to click on Add Item
driver.findElement(By.id("")).click();
// you get stale element exception as reference to add item is lost
// so to overcome this you have to re identify the locator strategy for add item
// Please note : this is one of the way to overcome stale element exception

// Step 1 please add a universal wait in your script like below
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS); // just after you have initiated browser

You may have noticed blue signs taped to those garage frames of the Dupont buildings notifying you of this pressure washing. We want to reiterate how much we appreciate your cooperation in getting items away from these areas: privacy fences, decking areas, and entry stoops where applicable.
Again, thank you so much for your cooperation as we push forward!
Quick snap of Project Manager, Victor and Isaac.
Tuesday, August 9th: Hello there everyone of Oak Grove Terrace. We hope you all had a great weekend; maybe you caught the Opening Ceremony of the Rio 216 Olympics- such a spectacular show! We're continuing to make our way down from the North end of the association and we are currently on building 10475.
Francisco is meticulously painting your 2nd story deck railings and privacy dividers.
Tuesday, July 26th: Hello again residents of Oak Grove. We hope your week is off to a great start! Things are moving along nicely and the fellas have completed the privacy fence staining on the first two buildings at the top of the association. As of end of day on Tuesday, they are working on your private deck railings/divider walls and those areas should be completed by the end of the week.
The second set of 2 buildings are scheduled to be pressure washed this coming Friday, so keep your eyes peeled for the notices that we will be posting on your garage door frames tomorrow.
Francisco applies Cedar Tone stain to one of the fences @ Oak Grove.
Wednesday, July 20th: Good morning Oak Grove Terrace. Perhaps you've found your way to our humble little blog by way of blue notices posted on your garage door frames. If that is the case, welcome!
As you may recall, we had the privilege of painting all the new siding on your garages last year and as a result, we've been asked back onsite to complete some additional areas this year. It's always nice to get invited back!
This year's project consists of painting your courtyard privacy walls, your entry stoops (where applicable), and lastly, your second story private decks including your railings and privacy walls.
For all newly installed privacy fencing, those will be stained natural cedar. For all other colors, we will be matching the color scheme.
The project got underway on Monday on the North end of the association where the crew began pressure washing the included areas.
We will be pressure washing your buildings in phases (typically 2-3 buildings at a time) and we will post notices on your garage door frames at least 48 hours in advance of pressure washing. The painting/staining will be following the same route as the pressure washing and we will do our best to provide you with updates 1-2 times per week as the project progresses. We anticipate the project will take approximately 6-8 weeks to complete.
Thanks everybody. Looking forward to working with you again this year.

Characteristics and Outcomes of US Children and Adolescents With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) Compared With Severe Acute COVID-19
This study was designed to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes of children and adolescents with MIS-C vs those with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Case series of 1116 patients aged younger than 21 years hospitalized between March 15 and October 31, 2020, at 66 US hospitals in 31 states. Final date of follow-up was January 5, 2021. Patients with MIS-C had fever, inflammation, multisystem involvement, and positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or antibody test results or recent exposure with no alternate diagnosis. Patients with COVID-19 had positive RT-PCR test results and severe organ system involvement. Of 1116 patients (median age, 9.7 years; 45% female), 539 (48%) were diagnosed with MIS-C and 577 (52%) with COVID-19. Compared with patients with COVID-19, patients with MIS-C were more likely to be 6 to 12 years old (40.8% vs 19.4%; absolute risk difference [RD], 21.4% [95% CI, 16.1%-26.7%]; aRR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.33-1.72] vs 0-5 years) and non-Hispanic Black (32.3% vs 21.5%; RD, 10.8% [95% CI, 5.6%-16.0%]; aRR, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.17-1.76] vs White). Compared with patients with COVID-19, patients with MIS-C were more likely to have cardiorespiratory involvement (56.0% vs 8.8%; RD, 47.2% [95% CI, 42.4%-52.0%]; aRR, 2.99 [95% CI, 2.55-3.50] vs respiratory involvement), cardiovascular without respiratory involvement (10.6% vs 2.9%; RD, 7.7% [95% CI, 4.7%-10.6%]; aRR, 2.49 [95% CI, 2.05-3.02] vs respiratory involvement), and mucocutaneous without cardiorespiratory involvement (7.1% vs 2.3%; RD, 4.8% [95% CI, 2.3%-7.3%]; aRR, 2.29 [95% CI, 1.84-2.85] vs respiratory involvement). Patients with MIS-C had higher neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (median, 6.4 vs 2.7, P < .001), higher C-reactive protein level (median, 152 mg/L vs 33 mg/L; P < .001), and lower platelet count (<150 ×103 cells/μL [212/523 {41%} vs 84/486 {17%}, P < .001]). A total of 398 patients (73.8%) with MIS-C and 253 (43.8%) with COVID-19 were admitted to the intensive care unit, and 10 (1.9%) with MIS-C and 8 (1.4%) with COVID-19 died during hospitalization. Among patients with MIS-C with reduced left ventricular systolic function (172/503, 34.2%) and coronary artery aneurysm (57/424, 13.4%), an estimated 91.0% (95% CI, 86.0%-94.7%) and 79.1% (95% CI, 67.1%-89.1%), respectively, normalized within 30 days. This case series of patients with MIS-C and with COVID-19 identified patterns of clinical presentation and organ system involvement. These patterns may help differentiate between MIS-C and COVID-19.
Post-covid syndrome in individuals admitted to hospital with covid-19: retrospective cohort study
The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to quantify rates of organ specific dysfunction in individuals with covid-19 after discharge from hospital compared with a matched control group from the general population. Participants 47 780 individuals (mean age 65, 55% men) in hospital with covid-19 and discharged alive by 31 August 2020, exactly matched to controls from a pool of about 50 million people in England for personal and clinical characteristics from 10 years of electronic health records. Main outcome measures were rates of hospital readmission (or any admission for controls), all cause mortality, and diagnoses of respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, kidney, and liver diseases until 30 September 2020. Variations in rate ratios by age, sex, and ethnicity. Over a mean follow-up of 140 days, nearly a third of individuals who were discharged from hospital after acute covid-19 were readmitted (14 060 of 47 780) and more than 1 in 10 (5875) died after discharge, with these events occurring at rates four and eight times greater, respectively, than in the matched control group. Rates of respiratory disease (P<0.001), diabetes (P<0.001), and cardiovascular disease (P<0.001) were also significantly raised in patients with covid-19, with 770 (95% confidence interval 758 to 783), 127 (122 to 132), and 126 (121 to 131) diagnoses per 1000 person years, respectively. Rate ratios were greater for individuals aged less than 70 than for those aged 70 or older, and in ethnic minority groups compared with the white population, with the largest differences seen for respiratory disease (10.5 (95% confidence interval 9.7 to 11.4) for age less than 70 years v 4.6 (4.3 to 4.8) for age ≥70, and 11.4 (9.8 to 13.3) for non-white v 5.2 (5.0 to 5.5) for white individuals). Authors conclude that Individuals discharged from hospital after covid-19 had increased rates of multiorgan dysfunction compared with the expected risk in the general population. The increase in risk was not confined to the elderly and was not uniform across ethnicities. The diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of post-covid syndrome requires integrated rather than organ or disease specific approaches, and urgent research is needed to establish the risk factors.
Six-month Neurological and Psychiatric Outcomes in 236,379 Survivors of COVID-19
Neurological and psychiatric sequelae of COVID-19 have been reported, but there are limited data on incidence rates and relative risks. Using retrospective cohort studies and time-to-event analysis, authors estimated the incidence of ICD-10 diagnoses in the 6 months after a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19: intracranial haemorrhage; ischaemic stroke; Parkinsonism; Guillain-Barré syndrome; nerve/nerve root/plexus disorders; myoneural/muscle disease; encephalitis; dementia; mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders; substance misuse; and insomnia. Data were obtained from the TriNetX electronic health records network (over 81 million patients). Authors compared incidences with those in propensity score-matched cohorts of patients with influenza or other respiratory infections using a Cox model. Authors investigated the effect on incidence estimates of COVID-19 severity, as proxied by hospitalization and encephalopathy (including delirium and related disorders). 236,379 patients survived a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. Among them, the estimated incidence of neurological or psychiatric sequelae at 6 months was 33.6%, with 12.8% receiving their first such diagnosis. Most diagnostic categories were commoner after COVID-19 than after influenza or other respiratory infections (hazard ratios from 1.21 to 5.28), including stroke, intracranial haemorrhage, dementia, and psychotic disorders. Findings were equivocal for Parkinsonism and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Amongst COVID-19 cases, incidences and hazard ratios for most disorders were higher in patients who had been hospitalized, and markedly so in those who had experienced encephalopathy. Results were robust to sensitivity analyses, including comparisons against an additional four index health events. The study provides evidence for substantial neurological and psychiatric morbidity following COVID-19 infection. Risks were greatest in, but not limited to, those who had severe COVID-19. The information can help in service planning and identification of research priorities.
Systematic review with meta-analysis of the accuracy of diagnostic tests for COVID-19
The objective of this review is to collate the evidence on the accuracy parameters of all available diagnostic methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2. A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. Searches were conducted in Pubmed and Scopus (April 2020). Studies reporting data on sensitivity or specificity of diagnostic tests for COVID-19 using any human biological sample were included. Sixteen studies were evaluated. Meta-analysis showed that computed tomography has high sensitivity (91.9% [89.8%-93.7%]), but low specificity (25.1% [21.0%-29.5%]). The combination of IgM and IgG anti- bodies demonstrated promising results for both parameters (84.5% [82.2%-86.6%]; 91.6% [86.0%-95.4%], respectively). For RT-PCR tests, rectal stools/swab, urine, and plasma were less sensitive while sputum (97.2% [90.3%-99.7%]) presented higher sensitivity for detecting the virus. RT-PCR remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in sputum samples. However, the combination of different diagnostic tests is highly recommended to achieve adequate sensitivity and specificity.
SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Health Care Workers Despite the Use of Surgical Masks and Physical Distancing—the Role of Airborne Transmission
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is transmitted mainly via respiratory droplets. A key question in the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is whether SARS-CoV-2 could be transmitted via the airborne route as well. Authors report SARS-CoV-2 nosocomial infections despite using surgical masks and physical distancing. This report may provide possible evidence for airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
Editorial note: Authors of this report use the term 'airborne' to refer to small respiratory droplets that can travel long distances, up to 130 meters. The use of this term in isolation may be confusing because all respiratory droplets, no matter what their size, are airborne for at least a short period of time.

Covid has caused 28m years of life to be lost, study finds
Oxford researchers arrive at virus's toll in 31 countries by looking at deaths and age they occurred

Wed 3 Nov 2021 18.30 EDT
Covid has caused the loss of 28m years of life, according to the largest-ever survey to assess the scale of the impact of the pandemic.
The enormous toll was revealed in research, led by the University of Oxford, which calculated the years of life lost (YLL) in 37 countries. The study measured the number of deaths and the age at which they occurred, making it the most detailed assessment yet of the impact of Covid-19.
Alongside significant falls in life expectancy in most countries, the number of years lost from premature deaths soared. Researchers said the true toll was likely to be even higher as they did not include most countries from Asia, Africa and Latin America in the study, due to a lack of data.
Excess years of life lost
Dr Nazrul Islam, of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Population Health, who led the study, said he and his team were "shocked" by the findings, which were published in the medical journal the BMJ.
"We had to stop at one point to go over everything," said Islam, who has himself lost relatives and colleagues to Covid. Despite having personal experience of the impact of the disease, Islam was still taken aback by the figures. "Nothing has shocked me so much in my life as the pandemic," he said.
Researchers said understanding the full impact of Covid, the worst public health crisis in a century, required not only the counting of excess deaths, but also analysing how premature those deaths were. Using the YLL measure, an international team of researchers, led by Oxford's Islam, estimated the changes in life expectancy and excess years of life lost from all causes in 2020.
They compared the observed life expectancy and years of life lost in 2020 with those that would be expected based on historical trends in 2005-19 in 37 upper-middle and high-income countries.
Between 2005 and 2019, life expectancy increased in men and women in all the countries studied. In 2020, there was a decline in life expectancy in men and women in every country except New Zealand, Taiwan, and Norway, where there was a gain in life expectancy, and Denmark, Iceland and South Korea, where no evidence of a change in life expectancy was found.
The highest decline in life expectancy in years was in Russia (-2.33 in men and -2.14 in women), the US (-2.27 in men and -1.61 in women) and Bulgaria (-1.96 in men and -1.37 in women).
UK launches trial of drug to tackle fatigue in long Covid patients
The decline in life expectancy in years in England and Wales was -1.2 in men and -0.8 in women. In Scotland, it was -1.24 in men and -0.54 in women.
In 2020, years of life lost were higher than expected in all countries except Taiwan and New Zealand, where there was a reduction in years of life lost, and Iceland, South Korea, Denmark, and Norway, where there was no evidence of a change in years of life lost.
In the remaining 31 countries, more than 222m years of life were lost in 2020, which is 28.1m more than expected (17.3m in men and 10.8m in women).
The highest excess years of life lost per 100,000 people were in Russia (7,020 in men and 4,760 in women), Bulgaria (7,260 in men and 3,730 in women) and Lithuania (5,430 in men and 2,640 in women). In England and Wales it was 2,140 in men and 1,210 in women, while in Scotland it was 2,540 in men and 925 in women.


Potential clients have been waiting for the release of ForceFeel, after Gametrix stopped the production of their JetSeat line but shipping have been delayed.
Realteus explained this delay by indicating "the delay, which pushed back production about one month, was necessary to test out the types of artificial leather used on the seat to ensure the thermal characteristics of the gaming pad would provide users with the best-simulated gaming experience possible. With the extended production time, the manufacturing facility was able to guarantee a worthy product to be put on the market."
Basically, Realteus has been working hard to make the ForceFeel a better product. Nonetheless, yet another issue has risen and their logistics/distribution center is also slowing things down: "[...] there will, unfortunately, be a delay in shipping orders as the logistics centre has recently been forced to relocate in central Europe".
Realteus hope to have all this solved soon. Some units will still be shipped but not at the speed the company hoped for.

My mother loves to tell a story about how I would make my own sandwiches when I was three years old. Three! I used to think it was a sad story, a commentary on her non-parenting skills, but now that I'm a mum myself, I can see the silver lining: She inadvertently made me a super independent individual.
It's true that a baby is dependent on you for everything — food, sleep, comfort, love, survival — but take notice from the start about what they need before rushing in. In Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, author Tracy Hogg writes that parents should "learn to hold back a bit and read their little ones". Once they know what the problem is, then they can calm them. All mums and dads, she says, can help their babies "become independent little beings".
Sure, he's a lump of yumminess who eats, sleeps, cries and poops, but he's also a sentient human and you should treat him that way, telling him what's going on instead of talking over him or about him in third-person. "People tend to speak over babies' heads, sometimes acting if they're not even there," Hogg writes.
Shortly after our daughter was born, my husband would try to make extended eye contact with her and would intone, "Hi, this is your father speaking." He did it so much and so seriously that his sister and I started joking that it was like he was Darth Vader. "Luke, this is your father speaking."
Hogg suggests drawing a circle of respect around even the newest born baby, addressing him by name, telling him what you're about to do, even asking permission before touching him.
According to psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, flow is the "ecstatic state of deep concentration that occurs when we are truly and deeply engaged by a task". In other words, it is when you're in the zone: Reading a book, solving an equation, or even concentrating on getting cereal to your mouth, if you're nine months old. You'll see children everywhere in the zone and adults interrupting them with nonsense questions: "Are you building a LEGO?" "Are you having fun?" Parents may be motivated by the desire to interact with their children, or even build their vocabulary. They might also just be anxious with silence. But this interrupts a child's concentration and focus.
Rachelle Doorley, the founder of TinkerLab, adds that flow can't happen if the task is too easy. "If the child (or adult) isn't challenged to test their new skills, they become bored," she writes. "You've witnessed this transition away from flow if you've ever tried setting up a 'favourite' activity, only to find your child is no longer interested in it." Give kids access to a variety of open-ended materials, and see what happens. There's an added bonus to this: As early childhood educator Magda Gerber once wrote, "If a child has ample opportunity to play independently, without interruption, he is likely to be much more willing to cooperate with the demands of his parent."
Of course you want your child to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner — anything! But we often get so focused on the moment we don't always remember the big picture. Eating, like everything from learning to read to getting dressed and toilet training, is not just about the one moment. That's why I liked Baby-Led Weaning, a method in which you let children feed themselves so they can learn good eating habits. Sure, I could have fed her better myself — getting more food in her with less mess (you try getting avocado off a wall!); read books to her faster than she could peruse them (upside down, she does it); and carried her down the stairs, but what would she have learned from any of it?
When I hear my daughter walking and saying to herself, "Be careful," I know I need to lay off on the warnings a bit. Of course, I want her to be careful — I don't want her to get hurt — but do I really want to interject that mantra into her psyche? Even though I cringe when she hangs from that metal bar above the slide before she descends (why always the twisty one?), I'd rather her be feisty and adventurous with the occasional bruise than hanging back in fear.
Babies, toddlers and kids have different periods of attachment, different personalities and different abilities. While there are many times to hang back, there are also times to step in — with a helping hand, a word of comfort or a hug. The challenge of parenting is figuring out when.


On a Sunday afternoon in the Autumn of 1946, following a delicious dinner of Grandma's fried chicken, my father, my uncles, and older cousins gathered on the back porch of her old weather worn sharecropper house. Those arriving too late to get one of the rocking chairs brought a cane bottom straight chair from the kitchen and leaned back against the wall. We boys sat anywhere we could find a space, waiting for the real feast to begin.
It was story-telling time! The war was over, but nothing would be the same again except the wonderful stories the men shared. As soon as one storyteller finished, another stepped forward with an even better account along the same line. The longer it went on, the more memorable the stories became. It fascinated me that every man had his own version on every subject, usually confirming the objective of the previous man's story.
While listening to the stories, I could visualize myself as the main character in each one. Have you ever found yourself doing that? I tamed that stubborn mule. It was me who walked five miles through the snowstorm to rescue that puppy. I was driving the tractor that the landlord bought last month. These stories became mine!
One day it dawned on me, and like a curtain being pulled back revealing a truth behind it, I received the lesson of a lifetime. Good storytellers create their own version of an event. A valuable lesson by itself, I would learn more about this principle in the future.
Around the age of twenty-five, while searching for the secrets to enhance my career, I attended a two-day leadership training seminar featuring a long list of highly rated professional speakers. The subjects ranged from leadership to motivation, along with salesmanship and self-development. On the second day, a man went to the microphone and told an elaborate story to make his point. It was a good illustration, well delivered, but another speaker told that same one the previous day.
That was not all that was repeated. Before the seminar was over, I heard several jokes told more than once. I don't know if it surprised or disappointed me to hear much of the material repeated by others who spoke later. By believing every speaker would bring their unique material, had I expected too much?
I learned a valuable qualifier to the previous lesson—good speakers and writers also use original material.
These experiences left me with a Principle of Creative Followership I practice and highly recommend to you.
I package my stories with my original material. When I am introduced at a speaking engagement, the audience expects to hear a message from me, not my teachers, not my boss, not a historical figure, or anyone else.
I will not disappoint them or embarrass myself by using stories or material from someone else. What about you?

Write It Slant: 3 New Must-Read Women's Memoirs
July 7, 2015 July 7, 2015 2 Comments
Ever since I cleared out 5/6 of my library I've been going full throttle on my own memoir and immersing myself in the study of the genre. But I'm not just reading any old life story — I'm deliberating choosing the kind of stories where the writer explores a part of herself through a specific pursuit or obsession.
Think about it: Memoir is poetry in book-length form. By writing at the thing you use to explore your particular issue — grief, self-discovery, trauma, childhood — you can say more than if you were to attack it directly. As in poetry, the object becomes theme. Human beings, after all, process their stories through behavior before they can ever really articulate what was going on. Brenda Miller put out a great book on this very topic a few years ago in her book on writing creative nonfiction, Tell It Slant.
In writing about the thing they can't stop doing, in exploring their lives through one specific lens, these writers have an exceptional filter through which they can tell their stories. Reading them has been like a master class for the memoir I am writing about finding a sense of home through scent. Here are three I have loved.
1. H is for Hawk
British writer Helen Macdonald is one of those Renaissance women I can't help but admire — a poet, illustrator, naturalist, historian, research scholar, and perhaps most curiously, raptor trainer. In the wake of her father's death she looks for a way to channel her grief by acquiring and caring for a Goshawk, a kind of raptor known among falconers as being the most difficult to train. Her book H is for Hawk is a moment-by-moment exploration of tending to one's own inner wounds by focusing on the minutiae of a singular pursuit — in this case, falconry. Steeped in the poetry of a naturalist and rife with lovely meditations on loss, H is for Hawk is for everyone who understands that grief has a vocabulary different to every individual. in taming her hawk, she finds a way to corral a heart gone feral. I highly recommend it.
Scent passage:
"The hawk had filled the house with wildness as a bowl of lilies fills a house with scent."
2. Hammerhead: The Making of a Carpenter
Nina McLaughlin was a late-20s news writer for the Boston Phoenix when the tyranny of clicks and likes and likes sent her looking for something else. At the height of the recession, she responded to an ad on Craigslist from a woman named Mary looking for an assistant carpenter Over the next five years, McLaughlin would err and persevere, build and join, demolish and screw her way to a new understanding of life by learning one of the oldest crafts in existence. In Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter, the reader learns with her — and not just about carpentry, but how to be humble before a master, become confident while maintaining unbridled curiosity, and push forward in the face of any failure. Her focus on the craft of carpentry feels like Thoreau, as if she were channeling the master, respecting the craft, carpentry and writing alike. It's an inspiring, visceral read, something of a big 4U to working at a computer.
"Sawdust spewed and dusted down onto the pavement, resting in craters in the cement, and the smell of pine moved with it, bright and clean, the smell of Christmas, renewal."
3. Coming Clean: A Memoir
If you've ever turned away from watching the TV show Hoarders because it feels exploitative, you'll much prefer Coming Clean: A Memoir , Kimberly Rae Miller's thoughtful, train-wreck of a memoir about her paper-hoarding father and her shopaholic mother. Growing up in a household filled with trash can't help but change a person, and so it is with Miller, who fights her way through the shame, disgust and self-loathing of living in unclean surroundings to come out on the other end a self-actualized young woman with a bright future. And though the subject she takes as the filter for her life story is the chaos of trash, her memoir is the opposite of disorganized, showing just how possible it is for a writer to draw meaning and create story but sifting through all the garbage. I can't say enough good things about this memoir, which shows how gently but powerfully you can write about family, even when they're a problem you don't want to just go away.
Taste passage:
"Each room has its own particular flavor of squalor, but what remains constant is that I am always trying to figure out where and how to start to fix it."
Have you read any great memoirs lately? Are you writing one?
Come learn how to write a book proposal at Terroir
So I've been crazy busy helping to plan this year's Terroir Creative Writing Festival, which is happening April 18 from 9-5:30.
I had thought about teaching a class on how to bring scent into your writing, but then I decided I'd do something a little more general, so l be speaking there in one of the morning workshops about how to write a nonfiction/fiction book proposal. Details about attending the festival are on the festival website.
Do you have an idea for a book that you'd like to flesh out in a proposal? I'm going to give some tips on how to do it. Mark your calendars, and take advantage of early registration, which is happening right now!


This two-stage, high-performance gear unit concept comes into play when extreme technical requirements exceed the usual limits of spur gear units or planetary gear units. Power splitting gear units make it possible to transmit a large amount of power at the highest speeds of the input and output shafts while requiring the lowest possible space.
The input and output shafts are flush and have the same rotational direction. All gear teeth are freely adjustable to achieve uniform load distribution. The high-speed pinion does not have any bearings and is controlled via the meshing of the gear teeth. This technology makes it possible to attain outputs of up to 200 MW and speeds of up to 120,000 rpm.
The main feature of these RENK turbo gear units are the case-hardened, precisely machined flanks of the teeth, which are designed for API, AGMA, DIN, and ISO requirements according to the respective application.

PS752 Probe: Foreigners Invited, Even As Wreckage Is Cleared

The Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 (PS752) investigation appears headed for a major impasse as Iranian officials welcome international aircraft accident investigation experts to Tehran, even as they remove vital evidence of the Boeing 737's wreckage and deny claims by foreign intelligence sources that the aircraft was shot down.
Iran's Aircraft Accident Investigation Board (IAAIB) on Jan. 9 extended invitations to key international agencies, including Canada's Transportation Safety Board, France's BEA, and the U.S. NTSB to designate representatives to assist in the probe of the Jan. 8 crash near Tehran. Levels of participation are unclear, however. BEA stressed that it was not sending any investigators to Iran at this point, contrary to some media reports. Participation by technical experts from the U.S., including Boeing, would require approval from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Boeing said Jan. 10 it was working with OFAC.
IAAB's invitations align with its pledge, made in an initial accident briefing issued Jan. 9, to follow ICAO protocol in leading the probe. But reported activity at the accident site—an open area in Tehran's suburbs—cast doubt on Iran's transparency. Several news outlets and satellite images showed workers clearing the wreckage by hand and with heavy machinery.
ICAO guidance is clear: wreckage should not be moved for non-safety reasons until investigators have gathered all available evidence.
"The wreckage should be left undisturbed until the arrival of the investigation team," ICAO's Manual of Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation explains. "In general, disturbance of the wreckage shall be limited to that necessary to rescue survivors, extinguish fires and protect the public."
Word of the wreckage clean-up comes on the heels of several foreign governments—including Canada, the UK, and the U.S.—citing evidence indicating PS752 was downed by an Iranian surface-to-air missile. Iranian officials denied the allegations.
"The thing ... that we can say with certainty is that this plane was not hit by a missile," Iran Civil Aviation Organization director Ali Abedzadeh told reporters in Tehran Jan. 10.
Iran's version of events: a technical problem with the aircraft soon after departure from Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) caused a fire that spread quickly and brought the 3.5-year-old 737-800 down as it was attempting to return to IKA. Iranian officials have not offered any evidence to support its theory beyond eyewitnesses that saw the aircraft on fire, and a flight path that turned away from its scheduled route to Kyiv soon before it crashed.
On Jan 9, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, citing "intelligence from multiple sources," including Canada, became the first foreign leader to point a finger at Iran. "The evidence indicates the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile (SAM)," he said.
Ukrainian Security Service head Ivan Bakanov said Jan. 10 that his agency was looking at two scenarios: terrorism or a missile strike, the Kyiv Post reported.
Earlier, Ukraine National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said his investigators planned to search for evidence that a Russian-made Tor M1 SAM missile was used, citing images on social media claiming to show fragments, including an intact nose cone, in the vicinity of the crash.
Russia developed the Tor M1 SAM system to defend mobile targets from low-flying aircraft and cruise missiles, explained Michael Kofman, senior research scientist at the Center for Naval Analyses. This requires being able to fire within moments of spotting a target, which limits the number of checks and balances it has compared to similar systems, such as the Russian S-300PMU, designed to protect critical infrastructure.
Iran has Tor M1s, but unlike Russia, uses them for critical infrastructure protection, Kofman said.
A Tor M1 operator has three sensors to find the target: a search radar, electro-optic camera and an IFF interrogator. All three are capable of identifying and discriminating between a 737 and a military aircraft or cruise missile, he said.
The system's missile is guided to the target by a fire control radar or its electro-optic camera as a back-up. It does not have active guidance, Kofman said.
The Tor M1 is designed to fire in salvos of two missiles to increase the probability of kill, he added. The warhead is in the middle of the missile, making it more likely the nose cone and tail section would survive a strike.
A video published soon after the disaster claimed to show a missile hitting PS752. Investigators at open-source intelligence specialists Bellingcat geo-located the video to a location near the accident site and verified that its orientation matched the aircraft's flight and surrounding buildings.
U.S. intelligence sources told the New York Times that they detected "multiple" missiles fired at the aircraft.
PS752 departed IKA nearly an hour later than scheduled, and several hours after Iran launched a ballistic missile attack from inside the country on U.S. forces based in Iraq. The strike was in retaliation for a U.S. attack on Iranian military personnel in Baghdad Jan. 3.
Iranian officials have not said whether their military was on high alert following the attack on U.S. forces, or if any assets were deployed to guard key infrastructure.

WYMORE – Firefighters from three departments were sent to an early morning blaze that destroyed a vacant house, in Wymore.
Firefighters were sent to the home near 11th and "J" Streets at about three a.m., Saturday. Wymore Assistant Fire Chief Mark Meints says a passerby reported the fire.
Wymore Fire summoned Blue Springs and Beatrice Fire Departments for assistance in fighting the blaze. About twenty to twenty-five firefighters and Wymore Police were on the scene early Saturday, along with a Wymore EMS unit.
Even though no one was residing in the home, Meints says there was some loss of contents inside.
The main part of the fire damage was to the rear of the house, and dense smoke was coming from the structure, early Saturday.
There were no injuries in the fire, and no damage to surrounding properties. The house is along the west side of 11th, in the north part of Wymore. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.


Hi gyus, another challenge for community!
I've a button to do some actions but I want to show a confirmation popup before. If user clicks button Yes the execution should go on, but if user clicks No the execution should be interrupted.
a) create a popup in your action method onactionsave by using method of if_wd_window_manager "create_popup_to_confirm"
b) then create event handlers for OK, Cancel by using method of subscribe_to_button_event of interface if_Wd_window, you will get window referecne as returning param as a result of the pop up created in first step.
Write only this much of code in this method.
Now in the event handler method if OK write all you code for save.
for cancel dont write any code.
I want to show a window with an input field and a button to save the value on a variable.
The problem is I can't interrup general flow execution until user press the button 'Ok' for example.
I can't do that with CREATE_POPUP_TO_CONFIRM method, and if I use CREATE_WINDOW the execution doesn't stop.
3) If Yes => I have to show another kind of popup asking for a value 'Reason for rejection' input field and 'Save' button or similar.
Reopened question for new requirements.

Q: getting errors when use OpenGL with python on macos I'm trying to play around with OpenGl and python on macos. And when I run the code from tutorial I get errors:

GLUT Warning: The following is a new check for GLUT 3.0; update your
  code.
GLUT Fatal Error: redisplay needed for window 1, but no display
  callback.

The code I try to run:
from OpenGL.GL import *
from OpenGL.GLU import *
from OpenGL.GLUT import *

glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB)
glutInitWindowSize(300, 300)
glutInitWindowPosition(50, 50)
glutInit(sys.argv)
glutCreateWindow(b"Happy New Year!")
glutMainLoop()

There's already a question about this problem on Stack Overflow, but a clear answer wasn't given to this question. As far as I understand, I should add
glutDisplayFunc(glutCreateWindow)
right before
glutMainLoop()

But if I do so, I get another error:

TypeError: this function takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

What's wrong?

A: glutMainLoop runns the event processing loop. When doing this, the callback function which is set by glutDisplayFunc is called. You have to implement and set this function:
e.g.
def display:
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)

    # do the drawing
    # .....

    glutSwapBuffers()
    glutPostRedisplay()

glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB)
glutInitWindowSize(300, 300)
glutInitWindowPosition(50, 50)
glutInit(sys.argv)
glutCreateWindow(b"Happy New Year!")

glutDisplayFunc(display)
glutMainLoop()

Note, glutPostRedisplay marks the current window as needing to be redisplayed, this causes the window to be redisplayed continuously. glutSwapBuffers swaps the buffers of the current window, this means it makes the drawing "visible" on the viewport.


Matt. 5:13-16 - called to be salt and light. Salt is only good for saltiness. Otherwise has no use.
As Christians - are called to Make An Eternal Difference.
"Upfront" = most commonly recognized leadership style.
SERVANT LEADERSHIP = the most commonly promoted style in Scripture.
What does "servant leadership" look like?
"Servant Leader" - Serves the people, BUT works for God. Not at people's beck and call.
So - "My Servant" - Moses, Abraham, Job, David, Prophets, Apostles, etc.
Perfect example: Jesus!!! John 2:23-25 - served according to directions from God.
Example: feeding the 5000. one day & denying their request next day!
"Servant Leader" = one willing to assume Both.. the duties of a servant, AND the responsibilities of a leader.
So, after the resurrection --> Phil. 2:5-8 - He knew who He was and what His Father wanted Him to do. Therefore, had not trouble taking a position of servant.
Question: Why should I assume the role/position of "Servant Leadership"?
Answer: for the same reason(s) that Jesus did!
#1. To meet human needs ... of man, created in God's image!! - God died for mankind. Humans are valuable!!
#2. To model Biblical truths (example: foot washing) Because some lessons are too important to be conveyed with mere words!!! They need to be lived, acted out, shown.
#3. To elevate young believers - Rom. 15:1-2 Why pour yourself into disciples for 3 years??
#4. To Glorify God - Matt. 5:16 (to portray, reveal) (to make Him known!!
"Servant leadership" = both a calling and a choice.
Obviously, we're called to serve.
However, we must choose to accept the role.
