Deadly Fungus Spreads Across The Globe
GENERAL PREP, Survival News
Survivopedia
Scientists all over the world warn that a drug-resistant fungus appeared in more than 30 countries around the Globe.
New Superbugs to Come
Health officials are warning of "a serious global health threat" from a drug-resistant superbug fungus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the fungus, Candida auris, has already sent to the hospital hundreds of people in the United States.
Candida auris, which preys on people with weakened immune systems, was first identified in 2009 in Japan and appeared in our country in 2013. Since that year, it has caused over 587 illnesses in the U.S., with over 300 of those cases reported in New York. Illinois had also 144 confirmed cases, primarily in the Chicago area.
How does Candida Auris behave?
Candida auris can cause different types of infections, including bloodstream infections, wound infection, and ear infection and can lead to death.
Dr. David Eyre, an infectious disease physician from the Oxford University said that things can get worse as there are 5 to 6 million different species of fungi. More over a few hundred can cause human disease so there is potential for more things to emerge.
Unfortunately, nobody pays much attention to the possibility of an outbrake, because a precursor to it always lives with us in more mundane forms of everyday health problems and sickness and most of us just deal with it.
We even developed a 'normalcy bias' so we just don't think about the doomsday extrapolation that's always just a small deviation away of changing our world in likely the most horrible of all scenarios.
Yet ominously, just few days ago… this Doomsday leap it might have happened.
But you can always be ready for it… See how to prep for facing the next deadly outbreak

Q: Why is the ellipticity condition important in the theory of viscosity solutions? A fundamental assumption in User's guide (p. 2) is that the operator $F$ should be proper.
However, the role of this monotonicity condition (and especially of the "ellipticity condition" part) is not quite clear to me. Why is it needed and why is it important?

A: $\DeclareMathOperator{\Sym}{Symm}$ $\newcommand{\bR}{\mathbb{R}}$ Denote by $\Sym(n)$ the space of symmetric $n\times n$ real matrices equipped with the usual partial order. You should think of weakly increasing functions
$$f : \Sym(n) \to\bR. $$
Pick such a function $f$ and consider the  differential operator  $L_f$ $\DeclareMathOperator{\Hess}{Hess}$ that associates to a real valued function $u$ the  function
$$ L_f(u):= f\Big( \Hess(u)\Big). $$
For  example, $\DeclareMathOperator{\tr}{tr}$ if $f(A)=\tr A$  then
$$L_f(u)=\Delta u. $$
In general if $f$ is weakly increasing,  then $L_f$ will be degenerate elliptic. (You have to check this. I'm running out of time.)

A: A couple of points come to mind:

*

*Existence and uniqueness requires something like invertibility of the operator. In the case of something like
$$
F(x, u, \nabla u, \nabla^2 u) = 0
$$
the linearisation (about $u_0$ in direction $V$):
$$
A(x, V, \nabla V, \nabla^2 V) = \partial_t|_{t=0} \> F(x, u_0 + t V, \nabla(u_0 + tV), \nabla^2 (u_0 + tV))
$$
is a linear operator for $V$ and the monotonicity should correspond to this linear operator being elliptic.
In other words, the coefficient of $\nabla^2 V$ is exactly $\partial_z F$ where $F = F(x, y, p, z).$ Monoticity in the $z$ variable is the same as $\partial_z F \geq 0$ is the same as ellipticity of the linearised equation
Roughly speaking one might then hope to obtain existence and uniqueness for the original equation by first solving the linear equation (use the ellipticity!) and then employing the Inverse Function Theorem.
Note: I doubt existence/uniqueness is obtained exactly this way in the guide, but the linearisation idea serves as good motivation for why you would want/need monotonicity. Notice that for linear equations, monotonicity is exactly ellipticity.

*The comparison principle (which is the generalisation of the maximum principle for fully non-linear equations) relies on exactly this monotonicity. Check the proof in this guide and you will see. Uniqueness of solutions does follow from the comparison principle (this is how the guide does it if I remember) in a similar way to how one may prove uniqueness for linear equations using the (strong) maximum principle.

US Dollar Drops Against Euro on Concerns Towards Trump Speech
The US dollar weakened against the euro and other major peers on Tuesday, but managed to limit its losses as an index that tracks consumer confidence improved in February. The greenback's decline followed nervous anticipation for Donald Trump's address to Congress, in which the president expected to reveal more details on his tax reform plans.
Investors are concerned that Trump's speech might disappoint the market by having a strong protectionist tone that focuses on domestic issues, instead of details on his plans to cut taxes. The president had made promises to lower corporate taxes during his election campaign, but he is yet to reveal an exact structure for his plans.
The US dollar's rally since November 2016 was largely supported by expectations of tax cuts and fiscal stimulus under Trump's administration, which makes the currency sensitive for his speech. The president's address to Congress is due to happen at 02:10 GMT on Wednesday.
On the data front, the Conference Board said that its consumer confidence index rose to 114.8 in February, from 111.6 in January. The index is now at its highest level in 15 years, as consumers' outlook for the short term improved on expectations of improving business environment. The index, which collected data up until February 16 for its latest reading, is compiled from a monthly survey.
Another data release disappointed investors today, as the US Bureau of Economic Analysis published its second estimate for gross domestic product in the fourth quarter of 2016, which showed weak growth. Gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 1.9% in the last quarter, which compared to expectations of a 2.1% annualized gain.
Gross domestic product decelerated in the fourth quarter from a 3.5% growth in the third quarter of 2016, which the bureau attributed to a downturn in exports and an increase in imports. Lower federal government spending also contributed to the deceleration, according to the report.
EUR/USD traded at 1.0613 as of 16:35 GMT on Monday, from 1.0625 at 16:00 GMT, the pair's highest level for the day. EUR/USD started the day at 1.0580.
The Dollar Index, which measures the performance of the US currency against a basket of its main counterparts, dropped to 100.92 as of 16:30 GMT today, from 101.13 yesterday.

Updated : November 27, 2018 11:10 IST
Sri Ramachandra Murthy November 27, 2018 11:10 IST BSNL launched a new plan of Rs.75 for prepaid subscribers
Accordingly in order to attract new customers, telecom giants continue to offer freebies to the users all the operators are bringing down their tariffs and offering discounts. Recently BSNL has reportedly launched a new plan of Rs 75 for prepaid subscribers. Meanwhile under the new plan, customers get 10GB of data, unlimited voice calls as well as 500 SMS benefits.
Moreover according to TelecomTalk, the new recharge plan comes with validity 15 days. Furthermore the interesting part is one can extend the same plan by recharging with an STV of Rs 98 and above and the validity extension functionality can be used to extend benefits by up to six months (180 days). Reports added in addition, if one recharges with the STVs of recharge value between Rs 98 and Rs 199, customers will get an extension of 90 days and if recharged above Rs 200, the validity of Rs 75 plan will be extended by 180 days.
Hence the report states that plans that are eligible for validity extension include, Rs 98, Rs 99, Rs 118, Rs 139, Rs 187, Rs 198, Rs 319, Rs 333, Rs 339, Rs 349, Rs 395, Rs 444, Rs 447 and Rs 551. Moreover notably, the plan is only available in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana circle and it is unknown whether BSNL will expand the new Rs 75 recharge plan to other regions. The new BSNL prepaid plan competes against Reliance Jio's Rs 98 plan that offers users 2GB of 4G data, 300 SMS benefits as well as unlimited voice calling for 28 days.

Gerhard Rehm (* 15. Oktober 1816 in Weisweiler; † 1. August 1892 in Astenet) war ein deutscher Unternehmer, Spekulant und Stifter.

Leben und Wirken
Der Sohn eines Landwirts aus Weisweiler kam als junger Mensch nach Aachen, wo er zunächst als Weißgerber tätig war. Über Rehms weitere Tätigkeiten gibt es im Einzelnen keine klaren Zuordnungen, die amtlichen Quellen bezeichnen ihn um 1857 in Gemeinschaft mit einem Wilhelm Lausberg als Dampfkesselfabrikanten und bereits ein Jahr später als Eisenbahnwagenfabrikanten. Ab 1863 wird Rehm in den historischen Adressbüchern Aachens als Tuch- und Kratzenfabrikant geführt. Wenige Jahre später wird Rehm als Grubenbesitzer bezeichnet, wobei nicht definiert ist, um welche Grube es sich dabei handelt.

Bei all diesen Verwendungen betätigte sich Rehm als erfolgreicher Spekulant und verstand es, sowohl für seine Auftraggeber als auch für sich selbst ertragreiche Gewinne zu erzielen. Einen Großteil dieser Gewinne nutzte er Mitte der 1860er-Jahre zum Kauf eines größeren Areals vor dem Kaiserplatz zwischen Adalbertsteinweg und Jülicher Straße. Dieses Gebiet galt als Sumpfgebiet und war geprägt von den aus der Stadt heraus fließenden Gewässern von Pau und Wurm sowie durch einige Mühlenbetriebe. Rehm offerierte dieses Areal zunächst für den Wettbewerb um einen Standort für das geplante neue Polytechnikum, der späteren RWTH Aachen, aber nachdem die Aachener Bezirksregierung sich für das Gebiet im Bereich des Templergrabens entschieden hatte, ließ er nach entsprechender Vorbereitung dort sowohl zahlreiche hochwertige Häuser im Stil des Historismus als auch Arbeiterblocks für die Industriearbeiter aus den umliegenden Großfirmen im Aachener Nordviertel errichten. Eine der dort eingerichteten Straßen, in der er sein eigenes Domizil errichtet hatte, trug zu damaliger Zeit seinen Namen, aber heute erinnert nur ein großer zentraler Platz an den Stifter dieses Viertels. Etwa zum Abschluss seiner dortigen Bauvorhaben ließ Rehm 1887 auf diesem Platz die Mariensäule errichten, die nach Plänen des Aachener Stadtbaumeisters Joseph Laurent in der Bildhauer-Werkstatt von Wilhelm Pohl angefertigt wurde und das erste öffentliche religiöse Denkmals Aachens war. Sowohl der Großteil der heute noch erhaltenen Häuser aus jener Zeit als auch die Mariensäule wurden unter Denkmalschutz gestellt. Nachdem sich das Rehmviertel im späten 20. Jahrhundert allmählich zu einem sozialen Brennpunkt entwickelt hatte, wurde mittlerweile damit begonnen, es im Rahmen des Förderprogramms Soziale Stadt wiederherzurichten und aufzuwerten.

In Sichtweite dieses Rehmviertels ließ Gerhard Rehm im Jahr 1879 anlässlich der Goldenen Hochzeit des Kaiserpaares einen gusseisernen Brunnen auf dem Kaiserplatz aufstellen, den er ein Jahr zuvor auf der Pariser Weltausstellung bewundert hatte. Dieser Brunnen wurde 1939 für Rüstungszwecke eingeschmolzen. Darüber hinaus stiftete er der Kirche St. Adalbert am Kaiserplatz eine steinerne Kanzel.

Gerhard Rehm war verheiratet mit Katharina geb. Ervens (1818–1887), Tochter des Zollkontrolleurs und späteren Tuchfabrikanten Joseph Ervens. Diese verfügte nach dem Ausbruch einer schweren Erkrankung, in deren Verlauf sie von den Barmherzigen Schwestern nach den Regeln des hl. Augustinus in Neuss gepflegt worden war, dass ein beachtlicher Teil ihres Vermögens den Augustinerinnen für wohltätige Zwecke zur Verfügung gestellt werden solle. Nach ihrem Tod fasste Gerhard Rehm den Entschluss, dieses Geld zusammen mit eigenen Mitteln in eine Stiftung fließen zu lassen, die dafür vorgesehen war, auf dem Areal von Gut Weide in Astenet, das in seinem Besitz war, das nach seiner Frau benannte "Katharinenstift" einzurichten. Der ursprüngliche Zweck dieses Stifts war die Organisation einer ambulanten Krankenpflege in den umliegenden Ortschaften, das Betreiben einer Haushaltsschule für Mädchen, die Aufnahme von Frauen beider Konfessionen als Pensionärinnen zwecks Krankenpflege und die Aufnahme katholischer Waisenkinder. Die Verantwortung oblag den Barmherzigen Schwestern nach den Regeln des hl. Augustinus, die 1888 das Katharinenstift als 13. Niederlassung übernahmen. Zwanzig Jahre später wurde eine Kapelle dort angebaut und 1910 durch Weihbischof Joseph Müller aus Köln konsekriert. Mittlerweile wurde das Stift in ein Alten- und Pflegewohnheim umgewandelt.

Darüber hinaus erwarb Rehm im Jahr 1890 noch den Klosterhof des ehemaligen Zisterzienserinnenklosters St. Jöris, der nach seinem Tod der verschwägerten Familie Ervens übertragen wurde, denen der Klosterhof bis 1924 gehörte.

Gerhard Rehm starb am 1. August 1892 in Astenet, fand aber auf eigenen Wunsch seine letzte Ruhestätte auf dem Aachener Ostfriedhof, der in direkter Nachbarschaft zu "seinem" Rehmviertel liegt.

A MAN in China has been reunited with his parents 32 years after he was snatched from them as a toddler.
Mao Yin was just two years old when he was abducted while walking home from nursery with his father, Mao Zhenjing, back in 1988.
Mao Zhenjing last saw his son outside the entrance of a hotel in Xi'an they stopped at to get some water.
In the aftermath of his disappearance, Mao's mother, Li Jingzhi quit her job to begin a three-decades-long search to find her son.
It was a crusade that saw Li become one of the most famous people in China, appearing on numerous TV shows and sending out over 100,000 flyers to try and find Mao.
Starting in the villages and counties around their home city of Xi'an, at one point Li headed to Sichuan after getting a tip about an abducted boy called Mao, though he ultimately ended up being a different missing child.
The campaign yielded results for other families too, with as many as 29 ending up reunited with their own missing children as a result of Li's efforts.
Despite more than 30 years of searching, Li never gave up hope of finding Mao.
"Hope is what motivates me," she told one interview earlier this year. "I believe that someday I will find my son."
The breakthrough came in April when, according to state media, police received information about a boy from Xi'an who had been sold to a family some 600km (370 miles) away, for 6,000 yuan, three decades earlier.
Facial recognition technology was also used to assist in the search, with authorities creating a possible photofit of the adult Mao, using toddler photos, with the resulting image cross-checked against a national database.
Yet it was only through a DNA test that Mao Yin's identity was confirmed.
Li was informed her son had been found earlier this month on May 10 – Mother's Day in China.
"This is the best gift I have ever got on Mother's Day," she declared.

Police discovered the 32-year-old Mao, living under the name Gu Ningning, in the city of Mianyang, over in neighbouring province of Sichuan, unaware he was the target of the high-profile search.
A week later, he was reunited with his parents in front of a large crowd and watching television cameras.
It was an emotional reunion for all involved with all three embracing in floods of tears while Mao's father gently kissed his long-lost son on the forehead.
"I would like to thank the tens of thousands of people who helped us," Li told Xinhua news agency.
"I can't believe that after helping 29 missing children find their families, I am able to find my own son."
Child kidnappings remain a serious problem in China, where minors have previously been snatched from parents for criminal and exploitation purposes as well as to cater to China's market for adoptees with demand especially high for young boys due to China's one-child policy and the desire to have a male heir.
In 2019, Xinhua news agency claim Chinese authorities reunited more than 6,300 families with snatched children.

Am I ready for a bikini?
Getting a decent Next voucher code e.g 10% off my order means I always feel better about what I have boughtand although I may have to pay delivery i am saving money through the voucher code, and petriol and time. Its a win win. Now what shall I buy? I don't think I am quite ready for a bikini!
My friend has four children and always buy's her shoes from Clarks. When I asked her if she used a Clarks voucher she looked at me in amazement and asked what's that? I explained a voucher was a simple no fuss no obligation or registration way to get a code giving you a discount by searching online. She was SO excited. She saved over £40 on her shoe shop. She still took the kids to have their feet measured but ordered online using a Clarks voucher to save money. Now that is savvy shoe shopping.

Социјални инжињеринг је акт манипулације којим се људи наводе да одају поверљиве информације о себи. Та техника заснива се на ометању пажње одређеног лица у циљу прикупљања информација које оно иначе не би одало, а како би се ти подаци касније злоупотребили (ради одавања корисничких имена, лозинки или, нпр. података о платним картицама).

Све методе социјалног инжењеринга заснивају се на специфичним правилностима у процесу доношења одлука, познатијем као "погрешна когниција", која представља образац неправилног просуђивања људи који се појављују у одређеним, специфичним ситуацијама.

Безбедност


At Our setting we pride ourselves that everyone receives a warm welcome. We recognise and respect a child's family members as the most important people in their lives. We encourage families to share information about their children which will enable staff to meet children's individual needs. Before your child starts nursery they will be invited to attend settle in sessions. During these they will meet their key person who will support your child's transition into nursery.
We use the key person approach to help your child feel individual, cherished and cared for while they are in our care. This approach means that there is one named member of staff to act as a main point of contact for you and your child.
● Helping your child settle in when they first arrive at the setting.
● Making sure that any questions you have are answered.
● Observing your child's play and providing suitable resources and activities to enhance their development.
● Using an app called Famly to help keep up to date records about your child's learning and sharing these with you.
● Encouraging your child to develop independence skills.
● Ensuring that all information about your child is shared with all staff involved in their care.
At Our setting we keep in contact with all our parents by using nursery/home App, newsletters, email, and regular parent meetings. We operate an open door policy and ask parents to collect their child from the room where staff will be happy to discuss your child's time in nursery.
As practitioners, we build up expertise in how young children learn and how each child operates within our setting. But it is the parent who knows their child best, and unless there is a sharing of information between practitioners and parents, a child's learning needs will be neither fully understood nor, ultimately, met.
Sharing information about the child: Opportunities for talking to parents about their child's learning may happen formally and informally, and spontaneous exchanges can generate useful information. for example, at dropping-off and picking-up times, so allowing a culture of informal information sharing to develop.
A trusting and warm relationship between key person and parents begins with the initial contact meeting, and it is crucial that, from the start, parents understand that staff values their knowledge and understanding of their child.
However, it may not always be possible for practitioners to speak to parents on a day-to-day basis about their child's learning milestones, current interests or recent experiences. Parents' working hours may prevent them from having daily or even regular contact of any kind with the nursery; hence we use an app called Famly for communicating with the parents. It's a two-way communication and can be useful where contact time between practitioner and parent is limited.
Parent and key Person meetings: We organise parent and key person meetings on a regular basis and in a more structured way usually towards the end of the term. Again, the timing of these meetings will depend on the parents' daily routines and commitments, and our staff team are flexible when arranging them.
These meetings offer an opportunity for the practitioner and parents to share their observations and to consider the implications of these in terms of planning for the child's learning. The emphasis of the meeting is to celebrate what the child has achieved and on looking for ways of building on their current interests and achievements.
Key Person meetings usually take place in the nursery, and give both parents and key person time to prepare and think about issues that they want to discuss. An up-to-date development profile can provide a useful focus for discussion, particularly if that profile includes contributions from home. A series of photographs, or a video sequence, can also be very informative in such meetings. Famly app used at the setting alloes learning journeys to record development using photographs as well as videos. These are opportunities to look at the child's learning journeys together and to talk about appropriate provision and support for the child's developmental stage.
Children's online learning journey: documented through photographs, on-going key person observations, focus activities and notes can give a deep insight into what is motivating them and provide useful information about their stage of development. Video has the added advantage of recording speech and movement and can be played again and again in order to revisit interesting observations. We ask parents to share observations from home as well and contribute regularly to the child's online journey by sharing any wow moment, special stories or home learning activities. Planning together for children's learning results in a more holistic approach, an enhanced curriculum and continuity for the children.
Where a pattern of behaviour or personal learning interest has been identified, the key person and parent can discuss experiences that could be offered at home and in the nursery in the hope that they would engage the child and further extend learning.
For example, if both parent and key person have noticed that the child often gathers objects in bags and transports them around the home and nursery, they could agree to provide a collection of bags and everyday objects at home and similar resources in nursery.
Alternatively, the key person and parent may decide to make a change in family circumstances the focus for planning. Perhaps relatives are coming to stay for some time and the mother is planning to involve the child in preparing a room and food for their guests. In response, the practitioner could provide additional resources in the nursery home corner and make time to discuss and 'play out' the experience with the child.
Summative reports: offer parents a written summary of the child's learning and are usually organised under the 7 areas of learning. These end of the Preschool year reports are discussed with the parents during Parent Meetings before passing the report to the child's Reception Year teacher in the Primary School.


Homepage / Modern Kitchen / Is your kitchen making you sick? Do these 5 Habits!
Ever you feel having stomach cramp, fever, headache, and diarrhea all together? If you're not a girl in period, you're probably having salmonella infections.
Salmonella infection or rather well known as simply food poisoning is a common occurrence. This infection is in fact the most frequent cause of food poisoning. Every year, in US alone, there is an estimation of 1.3 million affected and 23.000 hospitalized. That's a very great number of people. But, it'll be more surprising for you to know that the one of which causing salmonella infection is an un-sanitized kitchen that most people only give a glance.
Well, it will be wise for you to know that an un-cleaned cooking board can essentially become a place for thousands of bacteria and hundred times filthier than a toilet seat.
So, here is a question you should ask to yourself, is your kitchen making you sick? If it is, read on to know five habits that will lead you have a healthier life and a cleaner kitchen!
Before you start doing anything in the kitchen, wash your hand. Make it the prime rule at home, at work, or just anywhere when you should deal with food and kitchen. Who knows what kind of virus of bacteria residing on your hand? After all, there's a lot of things you touch before you come to the kitchen, so remember to wash your hand. This simple habit can do you a wonder in the future!
If you're going to cook something, make sure your kitchen is clean. What's better to have than a sanitized kitchen? You don't want bacteria from the dirty plates fly to your fresh cooked spaghetti, do you? By having a clean kitchen at the beginning of your cooking process, it will ensure the cleanness of your food later and a healthier setting for your body!
Waiting for the broth boiled or the cake baked? Take your time immediately to clean the dirty utensils. By growing this habit, it'll give you the self-satisfaction and ease you later if you need the utensils for anything. Beside, why spend your time spacing out in the kitchen when you can clean something that'll rescue you from days of diarrhea?
Having the kitchen clean is something and there is another thing. Make a place for everything. That's crucial in the kitchen life to have everything storage in its place. Nobody ever knows that the meat or salmon they bought from market is infected by bacteria until they get sick. So, a place of everything to avoid the illness jumps from the meat to your lovely fruit. Put everything in where it should be. Meat? Refrigerator. Fruit? On the clean basket. Snack? A jar. Those are few examples, so make sure you put it accordingly!
In case you're so lazy to clean up or just too tired to wash the chopping board to cut the chicken breast, prepare a spare. With this trick, you don't need to hassle when you're already so done from work. But, always make sure that you keep one clean, this won't be useful if you leave both dirty.
Is your kitchen making you sick? Certainly no! If you follow and make these habits a regular, you will be so far from kitchen problems. And surely, salmonella infection is at bay, you're already freeing yourself from one of salmonella source. Remember that a cleaner kitchen is a better health. Grow the habits and keep it up!


Main goal of developing this framework is to be able to edit any workflow item on the fly. This means, all elements in workflow like states, transitions, user authorizations(permission), group authorization are editable. To do this, all data about the workflow item is persisted into DB. Hence, they can be changed without touching the code and re-deploying your application.
There is ordering aprovments for a transition functionality in django-river. It also provides skipping specific transition of a specific objects.


We are excited about a high-quality program featuring a line-up of high-profile speakers from the field of complex networks, data mining and information science. All talks are 30 minutes.
Dynamics of social balance leading to cooperation & structure in signed networks Negative links, representing conflict or animosity, appear naturally in several types of networks. Although the signs of links are often ignored, they may have important consequences for the higher order structure. We will first discuss the community structure in such signed networks, and suggest how to detect communities. Communities in positive networks often relate to topics or functions, whereas communities in signed network may be more position or opinion based. Secondly, we will discuss how such a structure may come about. This is related to social balance theory, based on the adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". In particular, we will show that a simple matrix dynamical system almost always converges to a socially balanced state, where two mutually antagonistic groups emerge. Finally, this dynamical system relates to indirect reciprocity in the context of the evolution of cooperation. Paradoxically, although cooperation can arise, it also almost certainly leads to a split in two groups in the population.
How the information content of your contact pattern representation affects predictability of epidemics To understand the contact patterns of a population—who is in contact with whom, and when the contacts happen—is crucial for modeling outbreaks of infectious disease. Traditional theoretical epidemiology assumes that any individual can meet any with equal probability. A more modern approach, network epidemiology, assumes people are connected into a static network over which the disease spreads. Newer yet, temporal network epidemiology, includes the time in the contact representations. In this paper, we investigate the effect of these successive inclusions of more information. Using empirical proximity data, we study both outbreak sizes from unknown sources, and from known states of ongoing outbreaks. In the first case, there are large differences going from a fully mixed simulation to a network, and from a network to a temporal network. In the second case, differences are smaller. We interpret these observations in terms of the temporal network structure of the data sets. For example, a fast overturn of nodes and links seem to make the temporal information more important.
The reasonable effectiveness of roles in networks In this talk I will give a brief overview of role discovery in networks, where roles compactly represent structural behaviors of nodes. I will then discuss why roles are so effective in many applications from transfer learning to re-identification to anomaly detection to mining time-evolving networks and multi-relational graphs.
Inferring human mobility from mobile phone data: an adaptive memory-driven model Despite their bias, mobile phone data provide one the most powerful tools for sensing complex social systems, for human mobility studies and their applications, e.g. the spreading of transmittable diseases. In this work, we capitalize on high-quality mobile phone data from Senegal to introduce a novel memory-driven human mobility model that better captures existing correlations in mobility dynamics, being more suitable than classical memoryless models for realistic simulations oriented to policy-making based on short-term predictions. We consider a susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) transmission model within each arrondissement of Senegal, modeled as a meta-population with homogeneous mixing, and we show that memory in human mobility is responsible for dramatically slowing down the spreading of a disease.
Community detection with variable-order Markov models applied to journal classification To capture the overlapping modular organization of many real systems, we often require network flow models with higher-order memory. However, rarely will the highest possible order be supported for the entire system, and it is therefore necessary to combine first-, second-, and perhaps even higher-order dynamics for the analysis. In this presentation, we introduce a method that uses model selection to find the appropriate memory order, and apply it on the problem of classifying scientific journals. Our novel method overcomes problems related to current classifications schemes and is simultaneously transparent, computationally feasible, and able to capture multidisciplinary journals.
Time-varying network model with adjustable community structure and weight correlations Social network structure can be viewed as an aggregate of temporal interactions between individuals. These interactions are driven by individual decision-making processes. In order to interpret the emerging structure and dynamics of social interactions, one needs to look at the level of single events between interacting peers and understand the function of the underlying social mechanisms. Although the emerging field of temporal networks and the analysis of longitudinal temporal datasets have helped to identify such mechanisms, there is still a lack of adjustable time-varying network models that allow investigating the effects of specific mechanisms on network structure in a controlled fashion. In this work, we capitalize on high-quality mobile phone data from Senegal to introduce a novel memory-driven human mobility model that better captures existing correlations in mobility dynamics, being more suitable than classical memoryless models for realistic simulations oriented to policy-making based on short-term predictions. We consider a susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) transmission model within each arrondissement of Senegal, modeled as a meta-population with homogeneous mixing, and we show that memory in human mobility is responsible for dramatically slowing down the spreading of a disease.
Memory networks and higher-order dynamics One of the primary goals in Network Science is to understand the interplay between structure and dynamics in large systems. In many cases the network of interconnections between the agents may interpreted as the state space of a process acting on the network. For instance the state space of a simple random walk process acting on the network has exactly the same form as the network itself. Thanks to this dichotomy we are able to gain insights about the structure of a network by investigating the properties of this diffusion process acting on the network, and vice versa. More recently, however, it has been realized that in order to describe more realistic phenomena on networks one has to consider system representations with state spaces that are not in a simple correspondence with the underlying network of agents. One example are multiplex networks, in which the state space has to be enlarged to include multiple kinds of interactions. Similarly, it has been observed that processes in real networks often incur some form of memory. For instance, in a diffusion process the present actions of a random walker may be dependent on the temporal path of nodes previously visited, and not just on the node she is currently on. To model such a process on can consider higher order Markov processes, so called "memory networks". Previously it has been shown how these memory networks can be used in conjunction with the map-equation framework to gain further insight about the community structure in the network. In this talk we will highlight how such representations extend seamlessly to other community detections tools, such as Modularity, spectral clustering or the Markov stability framework. We will further discuss how a memory network representation can be obtained even if the data is only given in the form of "snapshots" of a temporal network, thus making the memory network representation a useful tool for the analysis of temporal networks in general.
Analyzing time-stamped network data: When ordering matters Recent research has highlighted limitations of studying complex systems with time-varying topologies from the perspective of static, time-aggregated networks. Non-Markovian characteristics resulting from the ordering of interactions in time-varying networks were identified as one important mechanism that alters causality and affects dynamical processes. So far, an analytical explanation for this phenomenon and for the significant variations observed across different systems is missing. Summarizing our recent research in this area, in this talk we will introduce a methodology that allows to analytically predict causality-driven changes of diffusion speed in non-Markovian time-varying networks. In particular, we will summarize the so-called "ensemble perspective" which is commonly applied in the stochastic modeling of complex networks, and we will show first results on the extension of this ensemble perspective to time-varying networks.
Inferring the mesoscale structure of layered, edge-valued and time-varying networks The structural properties of large-scale complex networks are often a result of unknown generative processes that cannot be directly observed, and need to be inferred only from their final outcome. Of particular importance are the so-called large or mesoscale structures, often represented by modules - groups of nodes with similar topological patterns - for which general formative mechanisms (or even unified descriptions) have not yet been fully identified. More recently, it has been increasingly recognized that most network systems are in fact composed of different types of interactions (represented as layers or attributes on the edges) and change in time, and that these features cannot be neglected when attempting to identify mechanisms of network formation. Since these elaborations increase the effective dimension of the network description, they are a double-edged sword: On one hand, the inclusion of layered or temporal structure can reveal important patterns that are otherwise obscured, while on the other hand the uncontrolled incorporation of many uncorrelated variables can in fact hide patterns which would otherwise be detected. In this talk, I present a robust and principled method to tackle this problem, by defining general generative models of modular network structure, incorporating layered, attributed and time-varying properties, together with alternative generative processes incorporating hierarchical structure, degree correction and overlapping groups, as well as a Bayesian methodology to infer the parameters from data and select between model variants. I show that the method is capable of revealing hidden structure in layered, edge-valued and time-varying networks, and that the most appropriate level of granularity with respect to the added dimensions can be reliably identified. I illustrate the approach on a variety of empirical systems, including a social network of physicians, the voting correlations of deputies in the Brazilian national congress, the global airport network, and a proximity network of high-school students.
Motif-based Spectral Clustering Two of the fundamental analyses of networks are clustering (partitioning, community detection) and the frequency of network motifs, or patterns of links between nodes. However, these analyses are disjoint as community structure is typically defined by link relationships and ignore motifs. Here, we unify network communities and motif analysis by clustering networks based on motifs. We show several examples of motif-based communities in networks from a variety of scientific domains with scales ranging from a few hundred to over one billion links.
As indicated during the workshop's live demo session, in addition to the tools presented in the workshop, here we include some links to that we were made aware of by participants.

USS West Virginia (BB-48), a Colorado-class battleship, was the second United States Navy ship named in honor of the country's 35th state. She was laid down on 12 April 1920 at Newport News, Virginia, launched on 19 November 1921 and commissioned on 1 December 1923. Her first captain was Thomas J. Senn. After her shakedown and crew training were finished, she was overhauled at Hampton Roads and later ran aground in Lynnhaven Channel.
After her repairs she participated in exercises and engineering and gunnery courses, winning four medals in the latter. She participated in other fleet tactical development operations until 1939. In 1940 she was transferred to Pearl Harbor to guard against potential Japanese attack, and was sunk by six torpedoes and two bombs during the attack on Pearl Harbor. On 17 May 1942, she was salvaged from the seabed by draining the water from her hull.
After repairs in Pearl Harbor, she sailed to the Puget Sound Navy Yard. There she received an extensive refit, including the replacement of her 5-inch (127 mm)/25 caliber anti-aircraft guns and single-purpose 5-inch (127 mm)/51 caliber guns with 5-inch (127 mm)/38 caliber anti-aircraft guns. She left Puget Sound in July 1944 for Leyte Gulf.
She bombarded Leyte in November 1944, becoming part of a successful American plan to destroy the portion of the Japanese fleet trying to sail through the Surigao Strait, and later attacked Iwo Jima and Okinawa. At the end of the Pacific War she entered Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender and became part of Operation Magic Carpet, making three runs to Hawaii to transport veterans home. She was deactivated on 9 January 1947 and laid up at Bremerton, Washington, until sold for scrap on 24 August 1959

5 Ways Cybersecurity Chiefs Can Support Emerging Tech
New technologies will only continue making their way into government IT shops, and CISOs cannot always be the ones to say "no." A smart management approach will ensure smooth adoption with cybermeasures in place.
by Dan Lohrmann / October/November 2019

As we head into the 2020s, emerging technologies are both exciting and a bit scary at the same time.
On the positive side, the definition of "government service" is changing before our eyes. From artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to 5G apps and autonomous vehicles, the list of startup opportunities promises to revolutionize government (again) over the next decade. Plus, the smartphones in our pockets have the power to enable digital transformation in government on a scale that seemed like a far-fetched fantasy at the beginning of the millennium.
But, if history has taught us anything over the past two decades, the Achilles' heel to these advances in technology will continue to be cybersecurity. The Internet is an accelerator for both wonderful ideas for good but also bad actors, data breaches and privacy violations.
Cyberinsurance Evolves to Meet the Ransomware ThreatReady for 2020? Elections Integrity at Stake Nationwide Free Federal Program Helps Local Govs Beef Up Cybersecurity
So what can be done? Here are tips to help enable the good and disable the bad.
1. Stop saying "no" when you are approached with innovative tools to improve customer service. Instead, security and technology professionals should strive to:
Offer workable alternatives to provide deliverables on time and on budget, with the right level of security.
Examine global best practices and innovative approaches to solve security and privacy concerns.
Empower new capabilities that will maintain trust with citizens and staff.
2. Mandate cybersecurity at the start. Executives need to build security into government solutions from the beginning of projects and throughout the entire life cycle. Cybersecurity is a tool that enables new possibilities to break down old barriers and you must provide resources to ensure security is done right. While security is a part of everyone's role, cybersecurity ambassadors need to be included on key strategic project teams. Oftentimes, cyberprotections are an afterthought for major projects, or security is added only after a data breach. This must change.
3. Embrace new tech, like IoT, inside security shops. Too many organizations are leaving new technologies to business areas and/or "shadow IT" groups. They see these areas as not central to the mission.
For example, they don't see IoT deployments as part of their job. But according to a 2019 Microsoft study of more than 3,000 private-sector executives across the globe, IoT adoption is expected to accelerate with 94 percent of public- and private-sector organizations by 2021. Consequently, the top three security concerns on the minds of leaders are:
43 percent are careful about developing strong user authentication;
38 percent have a concern regarding tracking and managing each IoT device; and
38 percent are worried about securing endpoints for each IoT device.
4. Partner with the private sector. Perhaps you're thinking that you just don't have the expertise to implement a new technology securely. There are plenty of innovative companies who would love to help and guide you, but who can you trust?
Most governments are not the first to deploy these new tech products and services. Look for case studies from other successful implementations and watch for success stories from groups like the National Association of State Chief Information Officers or Federal CIO Council.
5. Good security is all about the people. It's tempting to always run to the latest and greatest new solution. But whether you are implementing a $150 million tax system, a $25,000 security appliance or a cloud-based server, most security problems come from people-related issues or processes that are inadequate or not regularly secured, updated or tested properly.
Ensure that your cybersecurity automation is implemented with people, process and technology in mind. Go back and double-check assumptions with your team.
The 2020s promise to be a decade filled with amazing new technologies that make government even more accessible to the masses in new ways. But cyber is left out of these projects at your peril.

South Korean boy band GOT7 may not be a household name across the U.S., but it's only a matter of time before the K-pop superstars stage a takeover.
On Wednesday, TODAY viewers got to see what we've been missing from this seven-member sensation as they made their American television debut.
GOT7 dish on fame, dancing and bonding with fans
June 26, 201902:39
JB, Jackson, Mark, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam and Yugyeom have been a group since the release of their 2014 EP, "Got It?", which took the No. 1 spot on Billboard's World Album chart at the time. Since then, they've released three studio albums and nearly two dozen singles, and the videos for their K-pop-meets-hip-hop-meets-R&B hits have raked in hundreds of millions of views on YouTube.
They performed one of those singles — an English-language version of their track, "Eclipse," from the EP "Spinning Top" — live in Studio 1A on Wednesday.
GOT7 fans line up overnight at 30 Rock
Fans starting lining up for the big performance Tuesday night and were not disappointed with what they saw!
That's no surprise considering how loyal they are to the band — and how loyal the band is to them.
We apologize, this video has expired.

"They mean everything to us because without our fans, I don't think we would even be able to come here, to the TODAY show," Mark explained during a chat with Jenna Bush Hager and guest host Maria Shriver. "So we have a special bond with them."
And now they have a special bond with the fourth hour hosts, too, who not only got a chance to talk to the band members, but they even learned a stage-worthy move from the guys of GOT7.

Period poverty campaign delivers
Students with a #Pinkbox Dignity Vending Machine. Photo: Share the Dignity
The New South Wales government will pilot a scheme to provide free menstrual hygiene products to students in 30 schools across Western Sydney and Dubbo for two terms. South Australia and Victoria governments have already introduced similar programs, ensuring public school students have access to free sanitary pads and tampons.
Gender bias in Australia's taxation
Axe the tax on tampons
Scotland became the first country in the world to legislate a nation-wide scheme for free period products in November 2020. The Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act was passed unanimously, after three-year campaign led by grassroots groups and Labour MP Monica Lennon MSP. As part of the campaign, research conducted by Women for Independence revealed nearly one in five women in Scotland had experienced period poverty.
The act mandates local authorities to provide free period products to all, and officially implements a 2017 initiative ensuring schools, colleges and universities provide free sanitary products in their toilets.
Other countries are following Scotland's lead: in 2020 England began funding period products for primary and secondary schools, and New Zealand will provide free period products in schools from June 2021.
In Australia, the campaign to eliminate period poverty gathered momentum through the work of Isobel Marshall and Eloise Hall, who established TABOO in 2017 to combat menstrual stigma and period poverty. TABOO sells 100% organic cotton pads and tampons, and donates its proceeds to menstrual projects in Global South countries. In 2021 Marshall was named Young Australian of the Year.
Australian non-for-profit Share the Dignity is also fighting period poverty. The group commissioned a 2019 Queensland University Technology study titled "Reducing Period Poverty in Australia", which revealed that people from lower socio-economic backgrounds suffer the most.
Chief researcher Ruth Knight said that staff from 12 Queensland schools had identified a lack of awareness among students about menstrual management and hygiene. "Period poverty is a real issue that is under-researched," Dr Knight said, adding that the researchers gathered "anecdotal evidence of teachers personally donating products".
The study prompted Share the Dignity to provide free sanitary products to thousands of female students with Dignity Vending Machines installed in high schools.
Congratulations to all at Green Left for 30 years of people-powered media speaking truth to power without fear or favour. For a green, left, ecosocialist paper to survive in the increasingly volatile media environment in Australia, now that's impressive! Thank you GL for all that you do but most of all for not giving up. Never give in, never give up, never back down!

Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is a form of engine and transmission layout used in motor vehicles, in which the engine drives the rear wheels only. Until the late 20th century, rear-wheel drive was the most common configuration for cars.
Most rear-wheel drive vehicles feature a longitudinally-mounted engine at the front of the car.

Layout

The most common layout for a rear-wheel drive car is with the engine and transmission at the front of the car, mounted longitudinally.

Other layouts of rear-wheel drive cars include front-mid engine, rear-mid engine, and rear-engine.

Some manufacturers, such as Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Porsche (944, 924, 928) and Chevrolet (C5, C6, and C7 Corvettes), place the engine at the front of the car and the transmission at the rear of the car, in order to provide a more balanced weight distribution. This configuration is often referred to as a transaxle since the transmission and axle are one unit.

History

1890s to 1960s
Many of the cars built in the 19th century were rear-wheel drive, often with the engine mounted at the rear of the car. The first rear-wheel drive car with the engine mounted at the front was an 1895 Panhard model, so this layout was known as the "Système Panhard" in the early years. The layout has the advantage of minimizing mechanical complexity, as it allows the transmission to be placed in-line with the engine output shaft, spreading weight under the vehicle. In comparison, a vehicle with the engine over the driven wheels eliminates the need for the drive shaft (replacing this with the transaxle of lighter combined weight), but has the disadvantage of concentrating all the weight in one location.

In order to reduce the relative weight of the drive shaft, the transmission was normally split into two parts: the gearbox and the final drive. The gearbox was normally produced with its highest gear being 1:1, which offers some mechanical advantages. The final drive, in the rear axle, would then reduce this to the most appropriate speed for the wheels. As power is the product of torque and angular velocity, spinning the shaft faster for any given power reduces the torque and allows a lighter shaft construction.

In an era when gasoline was cheap and cars were heavy, the mechanical advantages of the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive (FR) drivetrain layout made up for any disadvantage in weight terms. It remained almost universal among car designs until the 1970s.

1970s to present
After the Arab oil embargo of 1973 and the 1979 fuel crises, a majority of American FR vehicles (station wagons and luxury sedans) were phased out for the front-engine, front-wheel drive (FF) layout – this trend would spawn the SUV-van conversion market. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, most American companies set as a priority the eventual removal of rear-wheel drive from their mainstream and luxury lineup. Chrysler went 100% FF by 1990 and GM's American production went entirely FF by 1997 except the Corvette, Firebird and Camaro.  Ford's Mustang has stayed rear-wheel drive, as it must maintain a sporty presence, as were Ford's full-size cars based on the Ford Panther platform (the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car) until they were discontinued in 2011 in favour of the Ford Taurus, which Ford discontinued production in 2019, being formally available with either a transverse front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive layout.

In Australia, FR cars remained popular throughout this period, with the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon having consistently strong sales until their discontinuation in the late 2010s. In Europe, front-wheel drive was popularized by small cars like the Mini, Renault 5 and Volkswagen Golf and adopted for all mainstream cars. Upscale marques like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Jaguar remained mostly independent of this trend and retained a lineup mostly or entirely made up of FR cars.  Japanese mainstream marques such as Toyota were almost exclusively FR until the late 1970s and early 1980s. Toyota's first FF vehicle was the Toyota Tercel, with the Corolla and Celica later becoming FF while the Camry was designed as an FF from the beginning. The Supra, Cressida, Crown, and Century remained FR. Luxury division Lexus has a mostly FR lineup. Subaru's BRZ is an FR car. The fact that a driveshaft is needed to transfer power to the rear wheels means a large centre tunnel between the rear seats; therefore, cars such as the Mazda RX8 and the Porsche Panamera forgo a centre rear seat and divide both seats by a centre tunnel.

In the 21st century, most cars are FF, including all front-engined economy cars, though FR cars are making a return as an alternative to large sport-utility vehicles.  In North America, GM returned to the production of FR-based luxury vehicles with the 2003 Cadillac CTS. As of 2012, all but the SRX and XTS are FR-based vehicles. Chevrolet reintroduced the FR-based Camaro in 2009, and the Caprice PPV in 2011. Pontiac also had a short run with the FR-based G8 and Pontiac Solstice. A Chevrolet replacement for the G8 called the Chevrolet SS was released in 2013 and uses the FR layout. Chrysler and Dodge reintroduced the 300 and Charger on a FR platform. They also maintain FR layout on the now unibody Grand Cherokee and Durango. Hyundai and Kia have also been working with new FR-based vehicles in the US, the Genesis Coupe and Sedan, the Equus and the new Kia Quoris. Ford, on the other hand, seems to be moving away from FR-based vehicles with the discontinuation of the Panther Platform in 2011 and the Australasia-only Falcon in 2016. Excluding trucks, vans, and SUVs, the Mustang is the only FR vehicle remaining in their lineup.

You can tell by the photo that Humboldt County will love Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys. She's adorable, like the girl you had a crush on in grade school. The guys are attractive and sincere-looking in that way that only young people wearing natural fibers can be. The beards probably do not keep them from being carded when they're trying to buy a post-gig beer. Stringed instruments. Also, they're playing at Hum Brews, a venue with a well-deserved reputation for booking only excellent acts. Sound-wise, as expected, Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys serve up traditional American music that brings forth such adjectives as "distinct, tight, expert and creative." Lindsay Lou Rilko's tunes include true-life tales of bank-robbing aunties and moonshinin' grandpas, plus references to dancing in the kitchen, daffodils and dreams. Tickets are $10 at the door, which opens around 9 p.m. Show's 21-and-over.
Quick note for reggae (and music history) fans — Bob Marley: The Making of a Legend screens at Arcata Theatre Lounge. See elsewhere in the Journal for more details.
We get emails. Sometimes they look like this: "Hi, I'm Trey from Secret Chiefs 3. ... It's not the most famous band in the world, but we do sell out the Great American Music Hall in SF and similar venues across the USA, Europe, Australia and Latin America. We've never played Humboldt, but I grew up there. There's actually a long, deep history of the roots there (I was in a band called Mr. Bungle that began life in Eureka). Anyway, SC3 tours internationally a LOT, in a lot of off-the-beaten-track places — it's a very unusual niche, but works across many borders. I visit Eureka often and it occurred to me that that's a border we've never crossed! Well, it's happening. ... Maybe it could be something. Thanks!"
Mr. Bungle ... Mr. Bungle ... Oh, right! I think I've heard of them. Ahem. For those who haven't followed Trey Spruance's post-Bungle career, Secret Chiefs 3 is an instrumental concept project that has earned rave reviews in Pitchfork, among others, and prompted descriptions such as "goes into uncharted musical territory." In their photo, the all-male, seven-member band is dressed all in black and boasting a variety of facial hair styles. The presumed leader sports a black beanie. Only his eyes are visible, all furrowed-brow and looking into the distance — into those uncharted territories, we imagine. The image screams experimental. Gig starts at Hum Brews around 9:30 p.m., tickets are $15.
Meanwhile, the Mateel Community Center presents an evening of African folk by Zimbabwe's Oliver Mtukudzi & The Black Spirits. A member of the Kore Kore tribe, Mtukudzi sings in the nation's dominant Shona language in addition to Ndebele and English. He also incorporates elements of different musical traditions resulting in a personal style known as "Tuku Music." In the press photo, he's seated, a look on his face like he's listening, but his posture clearly indicates he's willing to tell you a story. Friendly. You can tell he's a man who smiles a lot and whom you should take seriously. To illustrate that point, Mtudkudzi not only sings about social issues, but his own social activism has earned him many awards at home and internationally. One highlight occurred when, in 2010, the University of Zimbabwe and The International Council of Africana Womanism recognized him for his luminary role in uplifting African women through his artistic work. Bonnie Raitt fans may have heard her cover "Hear me Lord." Raitt also credits Mtukudzi as the inspiration for the song "One Belief Away" on her album Fundamental. Tickets are available at the usual outlets and online, and are $22 in advance and $25 at the door. Show at 7 p.m.
Oh, Strix Vega. One of Humboldt County's most enduring bands and for good reasons. They're talented, they're attractive and the trio's repertoire has grown to contain both long-form instrumental intricacies for music nerds and lush sing-alongables for those of us more hook-inclined. Joining them is Oakland's Muncie, who comes advertised as purveyors of "soul twang." They look real nice in the stunningly smiley photo adorning the top of their Soundcloud page and the songs served up do have some twang, that is true. This gig is at the Alibi, so it'll start after 11 p.m. Cover's $5 and yes, you must be of legal drinking age or older.
One more highlight before we leave you: Corinne West with Jeri Jones and Pam Delgado of Blame Sally land in the Arcata Playhouse. Known as "The Siren of the Sierras," West's voice invokes angels, if angels had a dangerous side. With her long, dark tresses and unsmiling visage, you know she's serious about taking you somewhere — it's not a surprise to learn she started her career tearing it up in hard rock bands before finding her niche in the global acoustic scene. Music's at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 general and $13 members. Pick them up at Wildberries, Wildwood Music or through brownpapertickets.com.

Robert now: 225 lbs
Robert then: 403 lbs
A Whole New Life
Now walks 7 miles a day – every day!
Doesn't crave junk food anymore
Two sisters and two cousins are duplicating his success
Gastric Bypass Surgery Austin Success Story Robert *

Robert Hunsucker, Buda
"I was a walking time bomb!!"
Weight before Surgery 403 lbs.
Current Weight: 225 lbs.
Procedure: Gastric Bypass
Robert was an active and healthy athlete growing up. He played sports all year around in high school, so had a big appetite, but that appetite was balanced by his very active life. He followed his school career with a successful career as a life insurance adjustor, but the high-stress job offered little time for sports, and Robert's needed relaxation took the form of sedentary television viewing with easy, but high calorie, high fat snacks. As the snacks became a habit, he craved more of them, and as he got heavier, sports became less of an option. As he matured, Robert's health began to deteriorate;;"the older I got, the more mortal I was becoming", he noted. He eventually developed diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar and became what he knew, as an insurance professional, to be a high insurance risk – "a walking time bomb", in his own words!
There was no outside pressure on Robert to make a change – he decided on his own that he needed to do something for himself. Robert is part of an extended Central Texas family and one of his sisters had successful weight loss surgery, so he sought her advice. His sister Sharon is a Ph.D., so had done extensive research to find the most experienced and highly qualified bariatric surgeon in Central Texas, and had decided on Dr. Nilesh Patel of Texas Bariatric Specialists to perform her surgery. She recommended he consult Dr. Patel as well, and spoke highly of the compassionate care she received both pre- and post-surgery, including sessions with the doctor, his staff and group support meetings with other patients.
Robert borrowed his sister's books and research, made the decision to see Dr. Patel, and hasn't looked back! With Dr. Patel's guidance, he initially dieted to lose 25 pounds pre-surgery. His surgery was complex, but he received great care from the doctor and his staff. He looked forward to the support group sessions he attended regularly in Austin, sharing tips on activities, recipes and lifestyle with other patients.
Those nights in front of the television are rare for Robert now – he walks with weights seven miles, seven days a week and is justifiably proud of his healthy 225 lbs. He and his wife eat balanced, nutritious meals and he no longer craves the high calorie, high fat foods he used to eat. Robert tells us, "Gastric bypass is your jumpstart -everything else is up to you."
And the rest of the family? A second sister also had successful gastric bypass surgery and a third sister and two cousins are now preparing for theirs, all with Dr. Patel of Texas Bariatric Specialists. They are planning on happy family reunions for many years to come!
