Q: Using multiprocessing pool from celery task raises exception FOR THOSE READING THIS: I have decided to use RQ instead which doesn't fail when running code that uses the multiprocessing module. I suggest you use that.
I am trying to use a multiprocessing pool from within a celery task using Python 3 and redis as the broker (running it on a Mac). However, I don't seem to be able to even create a multiprocessing Pool object from within the Celery task! Instead, I get a strange exception that I really don't know what to do with.
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
The task:
from celery import Celery
from multiprocessing.pool import Pool

app = Celery('tasks', backend='redis', broker='redis://localhost:6379/0')

@app.task
def test_pool():
    with Pool() as pool:
        # perform some task using the pool
        pool.close()
    return 'Done!'

which I add to Celery using:
celery -A tasks worker --loglevel=info

and then running it via the following python script:
import tasks

tasks.test_pool.delay()

that returns the following celery output:
[2015-01-12 15:08:57,571: INFO/MainProcess] Connected to redis://localhost:6379/0

AttributeError: 'Worker' object has no attribute '_config'

A: This is a known issue with celery. It stems from an issue introduced in the billiard dependency. A work-around is to manually set the _config attribute for the current process. Thanks to user @martinth for the work-around below.
from celery.signals import worker_process_init
from multiprocessing import current_process

@worker_process_init.connect
def fix_multiprocessing(**kwargs):
    try:
        current_process()._config
    except AttributeError:
        current_process()._config = {'semprefix': '/mp'}

The worker_process_init hook will execute the code upon worker process initialization. We simply check to see if _config exists, and set it if it does not.

A: Via a useful comment in the Celery issue report linked to in Davy's comment, I was able to solve this by importing the billiard module's Pool class instead.
Replace
from multiprocessing import Pool

with
from billiard.pool import Pool

A: A quick solution is to use the thread-based "dummy" multiprocessing implementation. Change
from multiprocessing import Pool  # or whatever you're using

to
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool

However since this parallelism is thread-based, the usual caveats (GIL) apply.

The Six Degrees of Separation being what they are, you almost certainly know someone, or someone who knows someone, who's currently undergoing fertility treatment. It may or may not come as a surprise to you, but thousands of couples undergo fertility treatment in Australia every year. The latest data on Assisted Reproductive Technology in Australia and New Zealand shows 77,721 treatment cycles were reported in 2015. Of those, 92% were from Australian clinics. That means a whole lot of laboratory fertilisation procedures are happening out there. But the question is: who owns all those sperm and eggs?
The Queensland Supreme Court recently had to grapple with that thorny issue head-on. The case at hand concerned a young couple who had been in a loving relationship for about three years. They were planning to get married and have children when the male partner passed away, suddenly and without warning. Notwithstanding his tragic death, however, his female partner was determined not to give up on their dream of having children together, and asked that his sperm be removed from his body with a view to assisted fertilisation of her eggs. When told it was a criminal offence in Queensland to interfere with a dead human body without lawful justification, she brought an urgent application before the Supreme Court seeking orders for the removal and storage of her late partner's sperm. She was successful, but that was only the first step towards her planned objective. While her late partner's sperm was now in storage, that did not give her the right to possess and use it for her intended purpose.
So she filed a further application in the Supreme Court, seeking a declaration that she was entitled to possession and use her late partner's sperm, with a view to assisted reproductive treatment. As a result of the surgical and scientific skill applied in removing, separating and preserving the sperm, the Court ultimately decided the sperm was capable of being property that could be possessed and, after weighing a number of discretionary factors, including the consent and active support of the deceased's parents, determined she was entitled to permanent possession of the sperm as her property.
Naturally, the whole episode was an emotional minefield, involving as it did such profound tragedy visited upon two tender young lovers. But as the emotion fades away, the decision will no doubt raise a host of ethical and legal dilemmas, notably in the context of both family and succession law. The legal fraternity both here in Australia and around the world has already raised issues about keeping pace with assisted reproductive technology, and how to tighten laws around who has the right to use our bodies when we pass on. Further, this case flags numerous questions around the rights and obligations of the deceased's family to share and contribute to the parenting of the child, as well as the rights of the child to any legal inheritance.
Not surprisingly, given the recency of extraordinary advances in fertility treatment, there is precious little legal history and resultant jurisprudence to illuminate the road ahead. As a result, notwithstanding the Supreme Court's landmark decision, we may continue to have more questions than we have answers.

No Man's Sky devs launching fund for proc gen games
10th March 2017 / 1:43PM
After trapping a galaxy inside a computer using maths, No Man's Sky developers Hello Games are launching an initiative to fund and support other devs' wild dreams of procedural worlds. With first-hand experience of risking running out of money while working on something they loved, they'd like to help other folks working with procedural generation and experimental games research. 'Hello Labs', as they call it, has already befriended one project and more may follow. For now, it's all a bit mysterious.
"We would love to help people avoid some of the pain that we went through ourselves," GamesBeat report Hello co-founder Sean Murray said last week during his Game Developers Conference talk on procedural generation. "That's something I'm really passionate about."
Earlier in the talk, GB say, Murray had suggested interested math heads apply to Hello Games then went on to quietly announce Hello Labs for folks with games of their own:
"But let's say you're interested in working on that kind of [game], but you also want to start up and do your own thing, then we're gonna try and help with that as well. We're starting this thing. It's super low-key at the moment — it's Hello Labs. We're gonna try to fund and support a couple of projects. There's one already in development. And the focus is going to be on procedural generation, experimental games, games research, that kind of thing. More details will follow."
Shh! Don't let him know that we know. That's about all we know for now, though.
As for No Man's Sky, a huge update came out this week. The Path Finder update added vehicles to pootle around planets, more base-building options, the ability to visit other players' bases, a fancy photo mode, and more. Hello have said this update "[hints] at a path ahead for the future" so probably expect more planetside antics in future updates.
[Disclosure: Our own Alec Meer wrote words for No Man's Sky. Alec Meer, Alec Meer, are you far or are you near? And if you're going down the shop, could you grab us some beer? Stella will do – nothing dear.]

Ski Juwel is a multi-million Euro developed ski area that has linked the existing resorts of Wildschonau and Alpbachtal into one larger area.The Wildschönau Valley has always been a favourite ski spot with schools, thanks to its tranquil setting and pretty tree-lined pistes. Our groups have access to a fantastic ski area connected by free shuttle buses and upgraded lifts.
Known for its first-class customer service, schools love the friendly locals in Wildschönau, as well as the magnificent mountain backdrops. A chance to experience the charming and traditional villages of the Wildschönau Valley adds a cultural dimension to your ski trip.
The resort is typified by quiet slopes set in stunning surroundings, and the customer service here is first-class. The heart of the €13.5million development is the installation of a new 8-person gondola linking Wildschonau with neighbouring Alpbachtal to create one of the biggest resorts in Tirol, comparable in size with Kitzbuhel and Mayrhofen, and offering 145km of mixed terrain served by 47 lifts. This picturesque and tranquil resort is set against some of Austria's most stunning scenery, making it perfect for school groups.
The huge range of blue runs appeal to all skiers, giving beginners something to progress towards and allowing improvers to experience a range of different slopes – the wide runs above the tree line and long descents through the pine forests are a good place to build stamina and practice speed control.
The Niederau ski area has varied terrain, with gentle beginner runs as well as steep blacks that give confident skiers something to aim for. Auffach's higher altitude is popular with intermediates and its long, beautifully groomed runs are loved by all abilities.
One of the best youth hotels around, the Angerhof is first class, hosting plenty of facilities to keep even the most active of groups happy. It is perfect as a large one-party hotel or for 2 coach groups (single and double-decker) as there are 2 dining rooms, function rooms and the building is divided into 2 parts.
Location: The Angerhof is in Oberau, nestled between the 2 better known resorts of Niederau and Auffach in Wildschönau. It is a 5 minute journey to the Schatzbergbahn in Auffach and Niederau is 10 minutes away.
Facilities: The hotel has 2 large dining areas, 2 games rooms with table tennis, table football, Karaoke, DVD with projector and disco facilities. A bar and internet access can be found in the reception area.
Hubert, the owner of the Jugendpension Angerhof likes to spoil our Party Leaders with evening food platters and always goes the extra mile.

Tom Cotton's Only Challenger Is a Black Libertarian Prison Chaplain
Ricky Dale Harrington, Jr., is running to keep Tom Cotton out of the White House.
Zuri Davis | 7.31.2020 4:20 PM
(Ricky Dale Harrington Jr for US Senate/Facebook)
Sen. Tom Cotton's Democratic challenger, Josh Mahony, dropped out of the U.S. Senate race just hours after the filing deadline closed. Between this and Cotton's comments over the past few weeks, which range from calling slavery a "necessary evil" to calling for military force in American streets, many Arkansas voters worry that the Republican incumbent is running unopposed.
Actually, there's Ricky Dale Harrington, Jr.
"There is an alternative to Tom Cotton," reads a Tuesday headline from the Arkansas Times, reminding voters that Cotton's race is not as uncontested as some people believe.
A Libertarian prison chaplain who hopes to be Arkansas' first black senator, Harrington is indeed a unique candidate. The 34-year-old Pine Bluff resident is a husband and a father. He's also the son of a corrections officer and a nurse, which he says is particularly fitting since his campaign's main issues are criminal justice reform and health care reform.
And he's running, in part, to keep Cotton out of the White House.
"The Libertarian Party of Arkansas is very enthusiastic about the campaign of Ricky Dale Harrington, Jr. to unseat Senator Tom Cotton," says Michael Pakko, the Libertarian Party's state chair. "It is rare to find a high-profile race like this featuring a two-way contest between a Libertarian and an incumbent. We intend to make the most of the publicity.
"Ricky is an exceptional candidate," Pakko adds. "He is an ordained minister who has experienced life as a missionary overseas, giving him a worldview that is both expansive and nuanced. His experience as a counselor in the Arkansas prison system has given him a first-hand view of the problems of our criminal justice system, providing him with the initial motivation to run for office."
Ricky Dale Harrington Jr for US Senate/Facebook
Harrington was brought to libertarianism by Ron Paul's 2008 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Paul's non-interventionist stance on American foreign policy won him over, Harrington recalls.
"I would have voted for him if he won the nomination," says Harrington. "Going to war should be one of the last things humans do."
Harrington decided to run for Senate for two reasons. The second, he says, is that "the executive branch is becoming exceedingly bloated and expanding its power." And the first? "Tom Cotton."
In a 2016 speech, Cotton insisted that America is actually suffering from "an under-incarceration problem." The statement enraged Harrington. During an interview with Larry Sharpe, Harrington said he wanted to look Cotton in the face and challenge him on the statement.
"I think Tom Cotton is just placating people's fears and uneducated proclivities. If he had a chance to walk in a penitentiary with any ounce of compassion, he would issue a public apology for a statement like that," Harrington says.
If anyone is qualified to teach Cotton about the realities of the criminal justice system, it would be Harrington. Growing up, his father "scared him straight" with horror stories about the prison system. So when Harrington applied for a number of jobs after moving back to America from mission work in China, he was surprised that the only call back he received was for a position as a prison chaplain.
"I never thought I'd do something like this," he says. "But it's one of the best things I've ever done in my life."
Harrington delivers death notifications, both to prisoners about their families and families about the prisoners. He was also tasked to be a chaplain for both the families of murder victims and families of death row inmates during executions.
He mentions the fight to posthumously test DNA evidence in the case of Ledell Lee, a death row inmate executed in 2017. The Innocence Project and the American Civil Liberties Union have filed a Freedom of Information Act suit to use DNA testing to see if Lee was innocent. If the DNA tests show that Arkansas killed an innocent man three years ago, Harrington says he will "vehemently oppose" the practice. As a chaplain for both the families of victims and the families of death row inmates, Harrington has seen how both sides are affected by capital punishment. "But," he adds, "it's hard to justify a system that executes an innocent person."
Harrington has ideas about reforming other parts of the criminal justice system at the state and federal level, beginning with sentencing.
Harrington wants to change an Arkansas law that keeps prisoners who commit certain crimes ineligible for parole until they complete 70 percent of their sentence. Many of the crimes affected by this rule are violent, but it is also applied to such crimes as the manufacture and/or trafficking of methamphetamines. Harrington would like to see the end of mandatory minimums and the War on Drugs, the latter of which he says has "done more harm than good."
"People shouldn't be in prison where there is no victim," he says. "They should deal with a doctor or a therapist, not be thrown in prison where they're subject to gangs, abuse, sexual assault, or mental health issues."
Here, Harrington turns to discussing the current protests against abusive policing. Just a week after returning to America from China, Harrington says, he was pulled over by aggressive officers in Sherwood, Arkansas. And encounters like Harrington's are not uncommon.
"I'm thinking, 'I just left a Communist country to come back to my own country and die,'" he says of the encounter.
Harrington's children are autistic, so he worries each time he sees a story of poorly trained officers brutalizing or killing someone who is mentally handicapped (or their caretakers). He once worked as a takedown specialist at a psychiatric hospital, a job that primarily consisted of simply talking to patients when they seemed like they were about to become violent.
"I find myself perplexed that police officers can't do the same thing."
Harrington says he's tired of hearing stories about no-knock raids and children being harmed by flash grenades. As he puts it, "You can't sit here calling yourself pro-life while supporting babies being maimed over drugs."
Harrington's other ideas include demilitarizing the police ("If police are using the equipment our fighting forces use to crush our enemies, what does that mean the police think about the people?"), better de-escalation techniques ("Every encounter does not need to end in violence or the threat of violence"), easing the burden on public defenders ("It's hard to give someone a good fighting chance if they're overloaded"), and promoting prison rehabilitation programs that offer inmates an education and teach basic life skills ("We want people to serve their time, get out, and never come back").
Besides criminal justice reform, Harrington's other major issue is health care. "My job is to try to remove government's heavy hand in the system," Harrington says. "We need health care revolution."
In Harrington's ideal health care system, communities and patients would have more power. He wants to remove regulatory hurdles like certificate-of-need requirements, which he says "keeps competition out" and "drives up cost." He also rejects the idea that proposed top-down approaches like Medicare for All would lower the exorbitant health care costs passed on to patients.
Harrington worries that his opponent has his eyes on the White House, something that concerns him given Cotton's history of authoritarian comments. "We need to stop someone who has said the things that he's said."
It took a lot of work to get Harrington on the ballot. "In 2019 the state legislature raised the petition signature requirement by nearly 270 percent," Pakko reports. The party then "embarked on a petition campaign while simultaneously challenging the new higher threshold in federal court. With the help of an injunction that survived a state challenge in the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, the Libertarian Party and Ricky Harrington will be on the ballot in November."
Meanwhile, the pandemic has made it hard to campaign. Still, Harrington has grabbed every opportunity he has to talk with voters.
"I always try to find common ground with people. It's just like evangelization," he says. "If Libertarians spent a lot more time sharing the portions of libertarianism that people already agree with, we'd probably bring a lot more people to our movement and we'd put a dent in the two-party system."
Reason reached out to Cotton's campaign for its thoughts on its Libertarian challenger but did not receive a response.

This is Part One in a brand-new serial from bestselling author Cathy Bramley.
The Plumberry School of Comfort Food is an irresistibly charming novel told in four parts – following the adventures of Verity Bloom in love, friendship and cooking. This is the first part.
This is part one of a serialised story from the talented Cathy Bramley. There are three more parts to follow. I found that this instalment grabbed me from page one and had me turning the pages eager to find out what would happen next. I was particularly excited to learn that the inspiration behind the story is a lady who owns a cookery school and runs one of my favourite restaurants in the Lake District.
The heroine of the tale is Verity Bloom (great name) who has been double crossed by her boyfriend and, as a consequence, has lost her job in marketing. As one door closes, another one opens as they say, and Gloria, the mother of a dear friend, asks Verity to help out with the opening of her new cookery school. Gloria's daughter, Mimi, died tragically two years before, leaving husband, Gabe, and young son, Noah, look after themselves, although Verity and Gloria help out where they can. We see Verity begin to rediscover her interest in cooking, which she lost when Mimi died, and become increasingly involved in the cookery school. Other characters she meets include Michelin star chef Tom and Gloria's friend Mags, not forgetting two cute-sounding dachshunds.
I really like all of the characters in the story so far, with the exception of Verity's nasty boyfriend (now thankfully ex). The setting for the cookery school, an old mill just outside the Yorkshire village of Plumberry, sounds quite idyllic. As usual, everything is brought to life by Cathy's writing and the story flows nicely. Of course, being part of bigger story, it left me desperate to find the next part as it ended on quite a cliffhanger. A nice touch is that Cathy has added a few recipes at the end of the story. Definitely not one to read if you're already hungry!

Q: Program calculating Square Root I am a student and unfortunately, online learning is really not learning, more like following a step by step with explanation of "why", so I am struggling to figure this out and any help with explanation would be amazing!
I am trying to write a program that calculates the square root of a number without using Math.Sqrt. What I have so far calculates whole numbers and gives a result of a whole number or decimal. But where I'm having trouble is if the user enters a negative number, then the program breaks. The second part I need help is to add code prompting the user to enter a number if they enter a word. This is what I have so far:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices.WindowsRuntime;
using Windows.Foundation;
using Windows.Foundation.Collections;
using Windows.UI.Xaml;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Input;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;

//Calculate the square root of decimals and whole numbers

namespace Sqaure_Root
{

    public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void okClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            double number = Convert.ToDouble(userInput.Text);
            double root = 1, temp = 0;

            //Calculate square root

            while (root != temp)
            {
                temp = root;
                root = (number / root + root) / 2;
            }

            if (number < 0)
            {
                resultBx.Text = ("Please enter a positive number");
                number = Convert.ToDouble(userInput.Text);
            }

            else
            {
                resultBx.Text = ("Please enter a number");
            }

            resultBx.Text = root.ToString();
        }
    }
}

A: Let's extract a method: we want user to enter a valid positive double value:
  private bool TryReadDouble(out double result) {
    if (!double.TryParse(userInput.Text, out result)) {
      resultBx.Text = "Sorry, not a number. Please, enter a non-negative value.";

      return false;
    }
    else if (result < 0) {
      resultBx.Text = "Please, enter a non-negative value.";

      return false;
    }
    else if (double.IsNaN(result)) { // <- from now on let's be a bit paranoic
      resultBx.Text = "Please, enter a valid non-negative value.";

      return false;
    }
    else if (double.IsInfinity(result)) {
      resultBx.Text = "Please, enter a finite non-negative value.";

      return false;
    }

    // result is finite non-negative value
    return true;
  }

Now you can use this method in the main routine:
  private void okClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    if (!TryReadDouble(out var number))
      return;

    // number is a non-negative double value; no further check required
    // time to compute the square root:

    double root = 1;

    // Math.Abs(temp - root) > ... - we should compare double with some tolerance
    for (double temp = 0; Math.Abs(temp - root) > 1e-8; ) {
      temp = root;
      root = (number / root + root) / 2;
    }

    resultBx.Text = root.ToString();
  }

Taking the time to look at the products and services offered by home security companies before you sign on the dotted line will go a long way toward ensuring you're satisfied with the system you purchase. But it's only natural to feel more confident about buying a monitored home security system when it comes with a money back guarantee. After all, no one wants to be stuck paying for a service they don't feel is valuable.
When it comes to money back guarantees, there's no industry standard. Some home security companies offer generous money back guarantees, others offer none at all. Here's how the top five brands stack up.
The "Money Back Service Guarantee" (certain restrictions apply) that comes with ADT monitoring is liberal. If, during the six months after installation, ADT monitoring is unable to resolve your installation or service problem, they'll refund the installation charge. The provider will also give you your money back on any monitoring fees you've paid after they tried to resolve the problem.
Vivint's cancellation policy differs depending on where you live. Most states in the continental U.S. or Puerto Rico have up to three days after installation to cancel your service. If you live in Alaska, you have five days post installation to cancel your service. If you call New York home, you're given five days to cancel for a standard agreement and seven days after installation to cancel service for a Panic Pendant. If you live in Canada, you can take up to 10 days to cancel your agreement after installation and if you're 70 years old or older, you have up to 30 days to cancel. In all cases, cancellation must be made in writing.
FrontPoint offers you the assurance of a 30 day risk free trail. You can use your FrontPoint monitored home security system for up to 30 days to decide if it's the right system for your needs. If you're not completely satisfied, you can return the system- no questions asked. Best yet, FrontPoint even covers the return shipping cost and doesn't ding you with a restocking fee.
Protect America's cancellation policy isn't as robust as ADT's or FrontPoint's, but it still offers you a "way out." It's a two part policy.
The first part covers your original security services and equipment. You must return equipment within 14 days of the original shipment date, and the postmark on the package must reflect 14 days or less. You're responsible for paying return shipping cost and your agreement can't be cancelled until every piece of equipment is received at Protect America. It's important to note that Protect America may require you to provide proof of delivery. The credit card you used to initiate service and purchase equipment will be charged a $79 restocking fee.
The second part of Protect America's policy covers additional equipment you've purchased to supplement your home security program. You have 30 days to return additional equipment for a full refund. You have to pay for the return shipping fee, and the package must be postmarked within 30 days of the original purchase date. As with part one of the policy, you may be asked to provide proof of delivery. A restocking fee is not charged when returning additional equipment.
You're given seven days from the moment you activate or install LifeShield to decide if you want to keep it. Within that seven day period you can return the system and cancel your contract for any reason. You must call LifeShield at 1-888-723-8894 within seven days of termination to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. LifeShield will not accept a return without an RMA number. Expect it will take approximately 14 days for your refund to post to your credit card.
As you can see, satisfaction guarantees vary a great deal from company to company, and it's important to understand the details of a policy before you make a purchase. If you're considering a monitored home security system, let SafeWise help you find the right one for your home and budget.

The Opening History of the Gulf of Mexico - Testing Plate Models in a Global Context
There are four main types of plate kinematic models that have been postulated to explain the opening history of the Gulf of Mexico:
1. rotational-translational movement, with a pole of rotation in the south-eastern Gulf of Mexico (e.g. Pindell and Kennan, 2009)
2. rotational translational movement, with a pole of rotation southwest of Mexico (e.g. Hall et al., 1982)
3. Gulf of Mexico opening contemporaneous with and as part of the Central Atlantic (e.g. Klitgord and Schouten, 1986)
4. models that suggest more complex relations with Caribbean subduction and ocean spreading (e.g. Dutch, 2009).
These models require different driving forces and modes of opening for the Gulf of Mexico, and lead to different types of margin formation across the various segments of the Gulf of Mexico.
These differences affect the history, geometry and volume of accommodation space for source rocks, seals and reservoirs, with associated impacts on ocean circulation, source to sink relations and depositional systems. Subsequent deformation phases, such as the Laramide Orogeny across Mexico, can also be represented in each plate model's global context. Such events have a great influence on fault reactivation and, consequently, on fluid migration and trap formation.
In this talk we present a refined tectonic plate model that details the tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico and highlights the impact of existing models on the development of petroleum systems. Our model is based on the interpretation of gravity and magnetic data offshore, Landsat and SRTM onshore, and public-domain data; these data were used to create a 1:1,000,000 scale structural map and also provided the foundation for building a detailed understanding of the area's crustal types and crustal architecture. These form the foundations for a regional plate model which is constrained further by placing it into the context of a global plate model to understand the consequences on the greater global plate circuit.

SCLM buries the lede on torture memos
So, the Bush Department of [cough] Justice tries to put the toothpaste back in the tube by writing a memo that says Oh, we were wrong. We thought torture was legal, and White House [cough] Counsel Alberto Gonzales even wrote a memo saying that it was legal, but never mind, it isn't legal after all.
And the new memo came out before the Gonzales confirmation hearings! Fancy that. Nice timing, eh?
Of course, we've been saying all along (here and here) that the truly reprehensible part of the Gonzales memos isn't the fact that they try to justify torture, but that they claim the [cough] President has the "inherent authority" to set aside the law.
And guess what! The malAdministation (seemingly) back-pedalled on torture, but not on the Divine Right of Presidents. That should be the lede, right? Since it means there's not such thing as the rule of law, and the Constitution is inoperative? But let's count. AP buries the lede, oh, one two three four five six seven eight paragraphs in:
The 17-page memo does not address two of the most controversial assertions in the first memo: that Bush, as commander in chief in wartime, had authority superseding anti-torture laws and that U.S. personnel had legal defenses against criminal liability in such cases.
So, Justice issues a new memo. Yawn. So what? Bush believes he can set the law aside whenever he wants, so what does a memo matter?
NOTE WaPo doesn't mention the "inherent authority" issue either. How very odd.

Hemophilia is a chronic disease which due to several reasons, including frequent absences from school and reduced motivation, leads to the incident of test anxiety among patients. This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy in test anxiety among students with hemophilia. The current study followed a pretest, posttest, and two-month followup quasi-experimental design with an experimental group and a control group. This study had a statistical population including all senior elementary and junior high school students with hemophilia who had medical records in Zahedan Hemophilia Society. After screening them, 60 students were selected and randomly assigned to two 30-person groups of experimental and control. Since some patients refused to continue taking part in this study, the sample decreased to 57 people. Measurement tool used in this study was Sarason Test Anxiety Scale. Positive psychotherapy was held in 8 sessions (two 120-minute sessions per week) and a follow-up was conducted two months after completing the psychotherapy. Data were analyzed using a repeated measure analysis of variance. Results showed that positive psychotherapy significantly reduced test anxiety among the students with hemophilia. Moreover, the stability of the effects of this therapy in the follow-up was confirmed. The obtained results indicated that policymakers should pay a lot of attention to this new positive psychological training and its effects on reducing test anxiety.

The Rome Foundation was established in by Drossman et al, primarily to standardize consensus-derived criteria of functional gastrointestinal disorder, and released the Rome III criteria in for constipation as having at least 2 of the following:
Causality - What are causes, mechanisms, and the like? We casually refer to causes and effects in normal interactions all the time.
We all conduct our lives — choosing actions, making decisions, trying to influence others — based on theories about why and how things happen in the world. From the early stages of childhood we attribute causes, building a vision of the social and physical world that makes it understandable.
Every action, every choice about what to do, is based on our anticipation of its effects, our understandings of consequences. Analytical and scientific reasoning has a similar form, but requires that we approach causation more systematically and self-consciously.
Analytical Task The general analytical problem.
In this and other societies, women and men commonly dress differently. Prepare a causal analysis that seeks to explain why women and men dress differently. Our analytical task this week is to attempt a "simple" causal analysis of a gender difference that is obvious but not often questioned - the way we dress.
The purpose of this exercise is to get us thinking about causality. To the degree that we can, we want to try to think of different kinds of causes based on varied ways of framing the causal question.
Realistically, one could easily write a book about all the possible ways of interpreting this causal question and answering it. We are just trying to develop some sensible insights in a couple pages.
The starting point of most causal analyses is a comparison. When we start with the general question "what causes X? Examples of such questions might be "why do people in group A do X more than those in group B? If we are trying to explain some phenomenon, X, then we need to identify variations in the likelihood of X or the rate of X, and look for potential causes that 1 vary across the relevant circumstances in a way that could explain X and 2 that we can connect to the outcomes for X in some way.
For example, with the gender distinctive clothing question, some ways to better specify the question and look at it through comparisons are: What causes individual conformity to the cultural pattern?
What induces women and men to conform to the expectations for dressing differently? Whenever we observe a consistent pattern of social behavior, some common conditions or processes must be inducing people to act in a similar way. Figuring out what encourages conformity and discourages deviance allows us to provide a causal explanation.
Think about what happens to people who do not conform to the expectations about male and female appropriate clothing. And, just as important, ask why it is that people punish nonconformists.
Here the basic comparison is between people who conform and those who do not, or between the reactions of people to conformity and nonconformity.
Bäckerei Rohrer
What causes differences in dress "codes" across cultures? What circumstances could exist across societies that consistently produce gender differences in modes of dress? The clothing characteristic of each sex varies greatly across societies and time. Clothing differs between "primitive" cultures and modern ones, between warm and cold climates, and between different parts of the world.
But seemingly everywhere men and women dress differently. How can we explain this pattern? Here the primary comparison is between cultures that have different clothing. Why do the expectations about clothing differences vary by context? Why are gender differences in dress greater in some circumstances than in others?
For example, both women and men may wear similar coveralls in a factory, but women and men generally wear dramatically different clothing to formal dances. Our efforts to find causes behind any phenomena are improved by looking at variations.
If male and female clothing is just a little different in some contexts but greatly different in others, we can usefully focus on what might produce this variance in gender differences.
Here the primary comparison is between contexts with greater differences in the expected clothing and contexts with lesser differences.
While considering how to explain the differences in the ways women and men dress, it can also be helpful to think through ways that this pattern could be considered an example of a larger pattern. The explanation for the broader pattern may be different or easier to develop.
The gender differences in apparel and appearance adjustment more generally could be considered as one example of apparel differences that find groups defined by age, ethnicity, or region dressing differently.View Essay - SOC Week 5 Final Paper from SOC at Ashford University.

I did it ! I'm on a mission to read the most hyped YA books and I finally made it to TFiOS. I'm not going to review this in the traditional sense, but here are my impressions and thoughts on one of the most buzzed books of the last 2 years.
I've been staring at a copy of TFiOS for two and half years. This copy was pre-ordered way back in 2011. To be honest, I mostly read it so I could watch the movie trailer.
I've known about John Green for a few years, most of what I know comes from seeing a few minutes of his popular YouTube videos in 2010 and more recently from what I see about him on Tumblr and in the news. I'm not really invested enough to find myself wanting to throw up a Nerdfighter sign, but have nothing against Green or his buzzworthiness.
I wasn't surprised to see diagrams in TFiOs.
1. Green had lived in Amsterdam.
2. Esther Earl, a teenager who died of cancer served as slight inspiration.
3. How the book ended.
Even though I felt like I should put all of my preconceived notions aside when I read the book . . . I didn't. I wanted to acknowledge that TFiOS doesn't exists in a vacuum and I wanted to read the book with some context.
Going in I found exactly what I expected ; A contemporary novel with a girl who meets a manic pixie dream guy who only speaks in deep metaphors. I expected a lot of metaphors and anecdotes. I did find the book a bit to anecdotal at times and some of the metaphors hit better than the others.
I was a little miffed at how easily Gus and Hazel went from meeting to obsessed with one another, but it's for the sake of the plot so I let it go. As I continued reading I constantly found myself wanting to follow these character to the end I knew was coming.
However I think the biggest part and maybe the most interesting part of this novel is just how. . bookish this book is. Hazel and Gus grow their relationship through books and stories. A relationship that sends them all the way to Amsterdam searching for an ending but finding (here it goes) Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
I had no concept of Amsterdam or the Peter Van Houten plot elements so those were a pleasant surprise for me. For some reason I had this idea that books about kids with cancers would be more focused in hospitals.
What is really interesting is that Green made up the drug that helps Hazel reach the point she is at in her treatment. I can't imagine that was something he decided easily. So many writers would be obsessed with trying to be as really real as possible and for Green to not do that was an interesting point.
I can see the appeal for Green fans who want to find a bit of his quotable wisdom in his books. I think it's interesting a book about characters trying to find meaning in a book . . . is in a book that means so much to readers.
Originally, I thought that the book was going to be overly earnest and it completely averted this. I like how the characters in the book focus on how being too earnest is a cliché among cancer kids. In TFiOS they are allowed to be angry and sad and they feel hopeless.
I haven't read a lot of books dealing with cancer, I've always been kind of afraid of them. Reading TFiOS has certainly opened me up to wanting to read others and to see how those characters compare to Gus and Hazel.
TFiOS is the ultimate YA novel. It has the teenage "this is all that matters" perspective that makes YA what it is and arguably having a book about teens with cancer makes the living in the present even more urgent.
Overall, I'm glad I read it and I can't wait to see what they can do with the film.
I was a little cautious of this book because of the hype. When I initially read it, I thought it was just okay, but it was one of those books that got a lot better after it had some time to settle in my head. Now I love it.
I hear so much about this that I think I"m just going to have to buckle down and get a copy at the library. Seriously, everyone talks about this book!
I'm glad to finally get your impressions on it!

President Ken Robertson is currently away on a cruise, and will be returning next week.
Wellington Rotary Club President
Last Week: Sandy Barnes (Hospice Prince Edward)
Notes from Barry Davidson
Our meeting was attended by 29 in person and by Zoom plus our guest speaker, Sandy Barnes, the Executive Director of Hospice Prince Edward.
Hospice Prince Edward is a charitable organization that provides quality of life, dignity in death and grief and bereavement support for all those living with a life-limiting illness.
Sandy emphasized that the recent change to the nursing staff that is now hired by Hospice rather than being provided by an outside agency, provides a continuity of care that was not possible when the nurses and PSW's provided by the agency could change day-to-day.
In addition to the three-bed hospice that is in a home-setting in Picton, Sandy described the community support provided by Hospice volunteers who would travel to people's homes to provide respite care and counselling to the families. She hoped to find volunteers in Wellington to expand this service to our area.
The description of the services showed benefits that could be provided when a diagnosis of a terminal illness is learned, not just at the last of a person's life. Please call her when Hospice can help with home care and grief counselling, too.
Trudy expects to have information on Family Day activities next week, especially on our usual preparation and serving of soups.
Congratulations to Christine on the 4-page supplement in the Wellington Times advertising our 20th year celebration.
A motion was made by John Inwood, seconded by Lana, that Dick MacArthur be remembered with a plaque at the Memorial Garden. There was unanimous support for his inclusion even though he had not been a member for the last 18 months. However, Phyo pointed out that this was not provided for in the currently established eligibility guidelines for the Memorial Garden, and that the Board should be tasked to deliberate on this topic and make recommendations to amend the guidelines. There was a ground-swell of support for a change to allow Dick to be remembered this way because of all his great work for the Club in so many areas. John Inwood withdrew his motion to allow the Board to consider amendments to the by-law or guidelines at the next Board meeting.
Liz had the winning ticket for the 50:50 draw, but Margo, drawing on her behalf, did not choose the ace of spades.
