We have almost reached the 100th Dutch word of the day! When Sander first started to explain some of the intricacies of the Dutch language to some of his co-workers, he did not expect the rudimentary explanations of the first DWOTDs to grow into where we are now. After some time Marc joined in writing the DWOTD, since it does take some time! (even for the experienced Dutch like us 🙂 ).
Although we are sometimes pressed for time, we try our best to write an informative DWOTD with sentences that you can either use in daily life, or study to improve your Dutch.
Readers who wish to discuss the DWOTD can do so on the website, this is also the central repository for all DWOTDs. Don't forget that you can always request a word by using the mailform ('Mailformulier') on the website (or just reply to the mailing).
We hope you still enjoy the DWOTD and if you do, please tell others about our website or the mailing list!!

GEGsLive » Agricultural area, Thousand hectares
Agricultural area is the sum of areas under a) arable land - land under temporary agricultural crops (multiple-cropped areas are counted only once), temporary meadows for mowing or pasture, land under market and kitchen gardens and land temporarily fallow (for a period of less than five years). The abandoned land resulting from shifting cultivation is not included in this category. (b) permanent crops - land cultivated with long-term crops which do not have to be replanted for several years (such as cocoa and coffee); land under trees and shrubs producing flowers, such as roses and jasmine; and nurseries (except those for forest trees, which should be classified under "forest"); andc) permanent meadows and pastures - land used permanently (for five years or longer) to grow herbaceous forage crops, either cultivated or growing wild (wild prairie or grazing land). Data are expressed in 1000 hectares.
Inland water bodies (Thousand hectares) Multiple or layered crops (Thousand hectares) Woody crops (Thousand hectares) Artificial surfaces including urban and associated areas (% of land area)

Q: Why does my mod_perl script freeze my server? I cannot make my Perl script run stable on the server.
Here is the problem.
When the script is accessed more than 5 times a second, the server freezes.
And some time later the server hangs forever.
SSH does not respond and I have to restart the server.
I'm using Apache with mod_perl.
The script is hosted on Virtual Dedicated Server under Ubuntu.
I'm operating it through SSH.
These are the server params
CPU: 400 MHz
RAM: 256 MB
Maximal execution time of the script is 200 milliseconds.
I have monitored server load with the "top" utility.
It does not display any problems, this is the CPU statistics during a load of 5 scripts per second:

Cpu(s): 12.1%us,  0.6%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si, 87.2%st

What options do I have to make the script work without problems?
This is the result of ps aux | fgrep perl at the moment of loading:

ps aux | fgrep perl
www-data  2925  0.3  6.5  45520 17064 ?        R    17:00   0:01 /var/www/perl/loa -k start

UPDATE
I have found the bottleneck.
I've been using DateTime module many times around the code.
The following DateTime module methods appear to be very slow.

*

*new()

*now()

*set(...)

*delta_ms(...)

I'm going to substitute them with fast analogs.
Another concern.
mod_perl instance takes a lot of memory.
And I have no idea why.
I have tried to run a simple perl script that does not import any modules.
I run it just after apache restart.
The script takes 37M of memory.
Why does it happen?
Do you know how to force mod_perl do not use the extra memory?
A regular perl script, without mod_perl support, takes 3-5M of memory.
Guys, thank you for so much help, I wasn't expecting such a wonderful response!
UPDATE 2
I have found one more fact.
I've created a simple perl script that just waits for 5 seconds.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;

my $query= new CGI;
my $content = "5 second delay...\n";

$query->header(
    '-Content-type' => "text/plain",
    '-Content-Length' => length($content)
);

print $content;

sleep(5);

Then I spawn many these scripts at the same time.
Stealth time (st) in top utility jumps up from 0% to 80% and stays high until the scripts are done.
Where does this load come from?
Also, as I've already mentioned, each perl instance takes 36M of memory.

A: Your numbers from top seem to indicate that other processes outside your VM are throttling your CPU, note the last number, 87.2%st, which indicates that about 87% of your CPU time is being allocated by your hypervisor for tasks outside your VM even though your VM has things it would like to run.  Whether this is related to your problem or not is hard to say.
Beyond upgrading your server as suggested by unwind, using a persistent process environment as suggested by zoul, it's possible that your process isn't CPU bound at all but is instead IO-bound, such as to the network or to your disk access, or memory-bound.  It's hard to say without more details on what your script is actually doing when it's invoked.
EDIT: Your updated question with info on your memory usage is revealing, as each of your processes wants 45M of ram all to itself, and is sharing 17M more.  With just 5 or 6 processes running, you're exceeding the amount of RAM available.  That's a good amount of memory for a vanilla Perl script to use, what's it doing with it?

A: That's not a very large server. Could it be simply spawning the Perl interpreter that makes it kneel? Loading perl (which I happily assume is more than 1 MB) five times a second might be asking too much.
Of course, it should be cached, but it will still need initialization before being able to execute.

A: While, by today's standards, the server's specs are not impressive, I have run fairly complicated stuff concurrently on similar hardware. However, I used a very barebones, run only what is necessary FreeBSD configuration. (Similar to what you can achieve using ArchLinux). I suspect you did not do a lot of custom configuration, and accepted Ubuntu defaults which may be too heavy for those specs.
Currently, I am playing around with a Linode 360 and performance is fine.
Now, all this is meant to state the obvious: We need information that you have which you have not shared with us. Web server configuration, memory footprint of the script + interpreter, how many files are open etc etc. Either try to provide the smallest script that still exhibits the problem or provide more information.
Update: Now that I see you are using mod_perl: 1) Have you made sure all libraries needed by the script were preloaded at server start? 2) Are you getting any variable won't stay shared messages in the log? 3) Have you read mod_perl Performance? (Chapter 10: Sharing Memory might be especially relevant).
In general, you should preload common libraries at the start of the Apache server. As a very simplified rule of thumb, the more stuff stays shared, the more you can get out of your server. See Startup File in Practical mod_perl.
Plus, I think 35MB per server is a little much. I think you could cut that down if you eliminated unneeded modules from the Apache configuration. However, even if you could not, say all that 35MB is shared, plus the maximum child process is 50MB, you should be able to accommodate about 20 clients at a time.
I just noticed the script you are testing. Really, try preloading CGI at server startup by adding the following lines to your startup.pl:
use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI();

Second, change that script to
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI ();

$| = 1;

handle_request();

sub handle_request {
    my $cgi = CGI->new;

    my $content = "5 second delay...\n";

    print $cgi->header('text/plain'), $content;

    sleep(5);
}

Note that you were never sending the header in the original script (I also hate calling a CGI instance $query so I took the liberty of changing that as well). See also Perl Reference.
Report back the memory usage after that.
Finally, why are you sleeping 5 seconds? AFAIK, Apache's default time out for a script is 3 seconds.

A: What kind of interface does the script use? You would certainly get a better performance if you could avoid running the perl executable again and again, for example by using FastCGI.

The images emerging from the Christine Blasey Ford hearing tell us a lot, but what?
Dr. Christine Blasey before the US Senate. Image sourced from Wikipedia; originally from C-SPAN.
Yesterday, Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh testified before the Senate regarding sexual assault allegations made by Ford against Kavanaugh, based on events nearly 30 years ago, while both were in high school. Two images in particular, by Win McNamee, made the rounds: photographs of Ford raising her right hand before testifying. As with many other viral images, they have inspired many remixes.
In this post, I join fellow visual image analysts Ray Drainville and An Xiao Mina to discuss its compositional significance, from Wes Anderson films to depictions of the Pentecost.
An Xiao Mina should be no stranger to Hyperallergic readers, as she first explored the topic of memes on these pages back in 2011 before launching a professional career in the field. She gave a TedGlobal talk in 2013 on the importance of memes and is debuting a new book this January, Memes to Movements: How the World's Most Viral Media Is Changing Social Protest and Power.
Ray Drainville, who researches iconography and social media at the Postgraduate Arts and Humanities Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University, has written about the visual propaganda of the UK's "Leave" campaign for Brexit, and both An and Ray have written about the impact of a photograph of Ieshia Evans arrested at a Black Lives Matter protest, and Trump's new propaganda formats.
Ray Drainville: Despite its serious nature, Win McNamee's photo of Christine Blasey Ford testifying screams Wes Anderson. Anderson's cinematography is so distinctive — with centralised, symmetrical scenes with old-fashioned decor — that it's turned into a recognized style that people imitate. But more than being reminiscent of Anderson, however, it's also metaphorically important. Dr Ford is literally at the centre of attention.
An Xiao Mina: It's too easy to compare this image to a Biblical rendering, but the clock really creates this halo effect and the image being taken from below makes her look larger than life, even in what looks like a pained expression.
RD: If we're looking at religious antecedents, I don't think that's a halo. It's much closer to the image of "divine inspiration" you see in representations of the Pentecost, where the holy spirit descends upon the disciples. This is depicted either as flames above their heads or a divine with rays extending to each apostle.
The point of the passage is that the spirit descends upon the apostles and gives them the gift of many tongues — i.e., languages — so that they could evangelize over the world. In other words, it's the gift of being able to speak, of testifying.
AXM: That's a powerful way to frame her, because of the fact that she says she didn't want to come forth but did so out of a sense of civic duty.
RD: Virtually everyone I know is fully glued to the hearing, and many women are experiencing a lot of re-enacted trauma: during her questioning it's as if Blasey is on trial. As in these photographs, she's the centre of attention, and she's the one whose credibility will be questioned: an all too familiar experience for many women.
In the second widely-shared photograph by McNamee, Ford has her eyes closed, and it's really difficult not to see her as reacting traumatically. I wonder if these photographs are shaping the perception of the moment, which seems qualitatively different from the #MeToo movement.
AXM: Yes, that's something we're learning today about digital movements. There's first an outpouring of emotion that is matched later by substantive action. What do you think the qualitative difference is now?
RD: When #MeToo emerged, a lot (a lot) of women I knew outed themselves as having endured harassment and far worse. There was a general feeling of sadness, mourning of what had happened to them, and support for one another; only a few were outright angry for what had been done to them, although of course every one of them had a right to be. This time, there is a real, palpable rage about the stories coming out and the way Kavanaugh is being protected.
A family member — a lifelong Republican — told me how she was in tears during Dr Ford's testimony and how she wanted to hug Ford. She was especially struck when Ford was asked what she remembered after the assault, and she said "laughter." That brought back some very painful memories.
AXM: Yeah that's an important shift — rage combined with real organizing power in streets, media, and politics. As author LA Kauffman has pointed out, we should expect to see women's rage having real effects in the midterms. And I suspect they won't be alone. The New York Times ad is an important indicator of the nature of male allyship. That men are getting behind it is a notable difference from the days of Anita Hill.
RD: I'm glad you mentioned Hill. It is remarkable that men like Orrin Hatch are making the same mistakes, as if nothing has changed between 1992 and 2018. I think rage was already likely to be a big motivator in the midterms — my question is whether that rage isn't met by the right wing.
AXM: That's right. A lot remains to be determined. Regarding the ad, that's another visual thing going viral and a shift at least among progressives: in Hill's time it was African-American women taking out an ad in support of her. For Ford, it's male allies of different races, and they made sure to extend their support to Hill too.
As Emma Gray Ellis at WIRED observed, right-wing and left-wing social media responded as if there were two different events, with support for Kavanaugh running strong. We should be careful not to ascribe too much to these images' virality, but we should also recognize their power.
Regardless of what happens next, this is a significant moment in American history bringing together federal politics, #MeToo, and social media, and the imagery around it captures some of the strong emotions people of all genders are feeling today.

Leslie Jones adds game show host to growing résumé with 'Supermarket Sweep'
By Jeandra LeBeauf

Comedienne and actress Leslie Jones is adding game show host and executive producer to her already impressive résumé.
This fall, Jones heads to ABC network as host and executive producer of the game show "Supermarket Sweep." Originally airing on ABC from 1965 to 1967, the 2020 reboot of the hit show puts Jones firmly in the driver's seat as contestants vie for $100,000.
No stranger to network television, Jones appeared on "Saturday Night Live" from 2014 to 2019, where she earned three primetime Emmy nominations. She ultimately left the long-running show last year in pursuit of new opportunities in front of and behind the camera. In addition to her time on TV, Jones continues to establish herself on the big screen with starring roles in Ghostbusters, Top 5 and the upcoming Coming 2 America sequel. Stepping into her new role, Jones will not only keep the contestants on task but also put her finely tuned comedic skills to use.
Speaking to rolling out, Jones says crowd work is her lane, and no matter what, whoever is opposite from her will feel safe.
"That's one thing that I like to accomplish when I'm doing crowd work," she explained. "When I'm doing crowd work and talking to a person, I have already met their eyes and let them know, 'Hey, this will be OK. This will end up OK, and it's gonna be funny as hell. You're going even to get to laugh at yourself. I am going to take care of you if you want to be a jerk. We can go that way too much, but it's still gonna be OK, sir. You are safe with me.' "
Similar to the original show, the 2020 "Supermarket Sweep" will pit three teams against each other. Contestants will answer questions related to items found in a grocery store. The more successful they are, the more time is added to their clock. Ultimately, the final team will compete for a chance to win $100,000.
"Supermarket Sweep" premieres Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020, at 8 p.m. ET|7 p.m. CT on ABC.
Check out a teaser of the show below.

This episode of Investor Insight explores what if any negotiating room investors have in setting commissions for their Realtors, and what if any downside is there to doing that.
Jemima Codrington: The relationship between a realtor and an investor is one that can be mutually beneficial and profitable. But many investors are wondering if they can negotiate the standard commission rate and if so at what cost.
Hi, I'm Jemima Codrington and welcome to Investor Insight on Crew TV.
With the standard commission rate sitting around 5%, many investors are left wondering, what this fee is for. As an investor, do you need a realtor?
Shawn Maher, Maher Property Holdings Ltd.
Shawn Maher: I think it is very important to have a really good realtor on site with you if you are looking towards the investment market. A lot of people tend to overpay for properties not realising that they are overpaying for them. A good realtor will bring value to yourself when you are in the market place.
The best thing you can do is buy a property that's undervalued. That's the best way to actually increase your value of the property instead of a buy and hold strategy.
Jemima Codrington: But like everything in life, you get what you pay for. There are some potential pitfalls to avoid when negotiating the rates.
Tarik Gidamy: Commissions are always negotiable based on performance and in a keen world, I think that the ideal thing is leave commissions out of it and you know because when you argue about commissions and an agent really lets himself down and gives you a reduced commission, that means technically that if they can't negotiate their own commission, then how are they supposed to negotiate the biggest transaction in your life. You want somebody strong.
Condo market correction for Toronto?

Q: Why am I taking "object not applicable" error in scheme? (define subset? (lambda (st1 st2)
    (cond
        ((not (set? st1))
        (error "Your first argument is not a set!"))
        ((not (set? st2))
        (error "Your second argument is not a set!"))
        ((null? (st1)) #t)
        ((in? ((car st1) st2)) (subset? ((cdr st1) st2)))
        (else #f)
        )))

I have written this code to check whether the first list appears in the second, i.e. second contains the first. Everything seems fine to me but it says object bla bla (first list is shown) is not applicable.
Any help will be appreciated. Should be easy one, but couldn't see it.

A: You have several parenthesis issues, possibly because you think that the argument list should be wrapped in parentheses.
You should just write the arguments sequentially after the function's name.
The form
(define subset? (lambda (st1 st2) ...

can easily lead to this mistake, but the equivalent form
(define (subset? st1 st2) ...

looks like function application looks.
So, in
(in? ((car st1) st2))

My personal "Trick" to making successful macarons!
A colleague of mine had been trying to bake macarons to no avail.
So she asked me, how long do you need to freeze the egg whites for? Thing is, I don't freeze my egg whites.
You might have heard a lot of taboos about these fickle little things. But honestly, as long as you keep to some simple rules, it's really not that hard to master.
It's important to get an oven with fairly even top-bottom heating.
Most small ovens tend to be overly hot on the top, causing your macarons to brown too quickly on the surface before it's fully cooked. Know your oven and adjust accordingly.
This might sound oxymoron but I really think a decent recipe makes a lot of difference. The one that I constantly turn to when making basic macaron shells is from ochikeron. I don't follow her macronage technique though (ie. punching down of the batter).
To the grams, that is. A small digital weighing machine doesn't cost much and takes a lot of stress off your baking so why not? I got mine at about $30.
Fold batter & dry your macarons in an air-conditioned room.
I found this out accidentally one time when I was making macarons during the night. It was hot and humid and I took my mixing bowls into the room and turned on the air-con. Prior to this, I've had limited success with my macarons, most of them cracking on the top 5 minutes into baking.
Amazingly, that batch came out so perfect I think I cried a little. *jk.
A few more attempts after, I realized it's a fail-proof way of making nice, smooth macarons. Thinking about the mechanics, I fathomed it's got something to do with the humidity.
Singapore has a high humidity, resulting in longer dry time for the macaron shells. It's something like how, in some blogs, people claim it's difficult to bake macarons during rainy days.
An air-conditioned room makes for drier air, plus with the help of a fan, it speeds up the drying process. From experience, if your macronage is correct, the shells shouldn't take more than 15 mins to dry.
I'll try to do an additional post on how to beat the meringue and my folding method next time, but for now, here's some Hazelnut chocolate macarons from last week!

Taking data straight from a sequencing instrument in FASTQ format typically requires any remaining adapter fragments to be stripped from the data. To do this, use the Adapter Removal tool. A tutorial on how to use the Adapter Removal tool can be found here.
Occasionally, data that has had its adapters trimmed will require further filtering to remove sequences that are of no interest to the user. For example, stripping out T or R RNA sequences, removing sequences that do not match to the reference genome or removing sequences based on their length or abundance in the file (i.e. how many times the small RNA was sequenced during the experiment). To do this, use the Filter tool. A tutorial on how to use the Filter tool can be found here.
Certain tools within the workbench require an aligned sequence file (such as VisSR) or you may wish to align sequences for another type of analysis. To do this use the Sequence Alignment tool. A tutorial on how to use the Sequence Alignment tool can be found here.


I must admit, this was one of my most relaxing weekends. I absolutely loved it!
Friday - hungout w/Tricia during the day, got a haircut, shopping and at night, met up with Theresa and Reena for boba and watching, "Shall We Dance" at their new home.
Saturday - went to go running on the sand dunes w/Carol and had brunch with her, then dance practice and just chilled out at night w/Greg.
Sunday - went to the 50th year anniversary of my mass and performed and went to Alex's, Daryl's, and Ade's birthday in Long Beach.
Monday - bbq at Yajaira's and got to meet Kayla - Carmen's daughter! She was soo cute!
It was so nice to have an easygoing weekend. I think it was packed but the only thing different this weekend is that I got a chance to read. It was so much fun devouting my time to a good book (sigh). I'm currently reading, "Jemima J" from Jane Green. It's hilarious. I find myself chuckling so much while I'm reading. It's a great girlie and fun story. What a great weekend! Plus had the chance to hangout with friends and worked out too. I can't complain.

Everton have had a hard time of it over the last few years. Allegedly £10 million in debt, their buying strategy has had to be borne on the back of selling their better players. With the prospect of a new ground in the King's Dock area of the city on the horizon, perhaps things might be changing for the Toffees, but they have struggled to make more more than a challenge to avoid relegation over the last four seasons and will be hoping to stabilise in mid-table this season.
With young hopeful Jug Ears Jeffers leaving for the other club in North London and the drawn out departure of Michael Ball to Glasgow Rangers (still in the balance as I write), mean that they have lost two of their talented youngsters, with only free signing Alan Stubbs and £4.5 million Canadian Radzinski brought in from Belgium arriving in their place.
With what they have left, they will have to try and produce a consistently high level of play to ensure that they are not dragged down into the relegation zone. There is an embarrassment of riches in the goalkeeping department. Myrhe is one who Spurs tried to get to come to White Hart Lane to cover for Sullivan without luck and he is a sound goalie. Paul Gerrard is the first choice, but has been known to have lapses at times. He's a big lad, but appears to fail to dominate his box on crosses and Spurs could capitalise there. Unfortunately, the £3.3 million signing of Steve Simonsen from Tranmere Rovers has not been the success he hoped for and Everton are looking for a buyer for his services. A talented young keeper, he may find it possible to thrive in a first team somewhere.
With the aforementioned Ball bouncing out of Goodison, the defence has been left with little true quality. Stubbs did well in Scotland for Celtic, as did Clelland for Rangers and Weir and Naysmith for Hearts, but alongside Pistone (formerly of Newcastle), Unsworth and Steve Watson (both bought from Aston Villa), there is quantity but not the other necessary Q. They will play tight and as a unit as there is a method in Smith's defensive play, but the running off the ball will test the concentration of the men who are there to protect their keeper. Only Xavier stands out from the crowd and that is only because of his bizarre hair style !!
Again in midfield, the story is the same. Gemmill, Pembridge, Alexandersson, Gravesen, Nyarko. All well known names now, but not the line-up that would have the opposition quaking in their boots. Sadly, the one player in this area who would is the one who isn't able to. Paul Gascoigne - a Spurs favourite - is now a shadow of the player he once was with more problems than appearances on the pitch these days. His off-field traumas have left him drained and it is sad to see him this way. I would be so happy if he could get it together on the pitch again - even if it was against Tottenham, because in his heyday, he was a terrific player.
With Cadamateri out of favour at Everton, the bulk of the responsibility for scoring goals has fallen to Duncan Ferguson and Kevin Campbell. With Ferguson on the treatment table most of the time, Campbell has borne the brunt of the Toffees goal-getting and has done so well. However, the thinking behind the purchase of Radzinski is to give him the option of a partner. Ferguson is the big(ger) target man for Campbell to play off or Rad can come in and play off Campbell. It's mix and match. Idan Tal came in at the end of last season and scored a lot of goals in Israel before joining the Merseyside outfit and Joe-Max Moore has also scored a good ratio since his introduction into English football, but against top defenders, they may make little impact.
Everton: Gerrard; Pistone, Stubbs, Weir, S. Watson (Moore 74); Alexadersson (Tal 80), Gemmill, Gravesen (Unsworth 44), Pembridge; Campbell, Ferguson.
With a goal lead at half-time, somewhat against the run of play, the Spurs side looked set to extend their unbeaten run at Goodison Park, but the referee had other ideas to give the home side have more of a chance.
It was a contentious performance by Mr. Elleray, who is more used to telling off schoolboys at Harrow, but ruled the roost with his red cards. Poyet looked genuinely surprised and I reckon he had a right to as the foul was only worth a yellow, while Doherty looked devastated after having given away a penalty according to the ref and then getting a red card for his trouble. No wonder Sheringham and Ziege got booked for arguing, although they should know better than to expect a match official to change his mind. The decisions really took the attention away from a game that promised much, but, like Saturday, didn't deliver.
The game saw chances at both ends, but neither goalkeeper was troubled by shots directly on target. Alexandersson struck a rising drive from the edge of the box against the bar, while Gerrard suffered a case of the jitters on a Taricco cross that the goalie fumbled just behind the incoming Sheringham. Iversen was through on goal twice, but as he bore down on the keeper, he was too wide to have a decent angle and pushed the ball past the post on both occasions. At the other end, Everton's reliance on the high ball into the box left Spurs with neck ache and Ledley King with an experience he will not forget. However, he withstood the battering that most central defenders get from Duncan Ferguson and came out of the match with a lot of credit. He was probably preferred there to Bunjevcevic as the Yugoslav does not have a lot of experience of playing against the likes of Fergie and he was pushed out wide left on the defence. It was a position he didn't look all that confident in and he was subject to that flank being the focus of the Toffees' attacks. He stuck at it though and a couple of times made inroads into the opposition box and passed very well.
It was a bit of a shock when Spurs scored. Starting just inside his own half, Darren Anderton began a run that saw him swap one-two's with Poyet and then Sheringham - once, then twice, before prodding the ball through for Iversen, who was just onside. He shot, but the keeper smothered the ball, which run away from him to the feet of the on-running Dazza, who gleefully poked the ball home from inside the six yard box. The team looked relieved to have scored their first goal of the season and perhaps it was this euphoria that almost made them subject of the old cliché that you are never more vulnerable than when you have just scored. The Blues broke away more or less straight from the kick-off and a cross from their left reached Alexandersson on the edge of the box unmarked. His first time volley skidded along the floor and under Sullivan, but before the ball got to him, the ref's whistle had blown for a mystery infringement. No-one was quite sure what he had blown for and it was a cause of debate at half-time. As was the awful tackle that Taricco perpetrated on Thomas Gravesen's right leg. Tano was over the top and stuck his studs into the Dane's shin, apparently leaving him with a gaping wound. It was not something that Spurs fans want to see and it left a bad taste in the mouth, as the referee again missed the incident (despite having a clear view) and did nothing.
After the break, the referee seemed intent on balancing things up. His failure to dismiss Taricco was more than salved when he got out the red card for a non-foul by Doherty on Campbell, who goes down easy for a big man. So a penalty and a player light with the scores equalised. Then a minute later Gus had a rush of blood and was joining Doc in the Goodison bath as Elleray tried to play keep up with his card tally. It was then back to the walls stuff. Every ball cleared brought a collective sigh of relief, but knowing it was going to come back, it was the ball being passed away to a white shirt that got the biggest cheers. In fact, the Spurs contingent made a lot of noise tonight and although the home fans were getting excited as they piled players and hail Mary's into the Spurs goalmouth, they rarely got singing. Funnily enough, Spurs had the best chance of the half before the red card mayhem, with Gerrard again flapping at a Tano cross and this time it went beyond him to hit Iversen in the stomach and wide of the target. He just simply didn't read the flight of the ball - a cardinal sin for a striker, who should be exactly where the ball is going to drop.
The defence held out with the help of the remaining players left in front of them, but they were helped by Everton's one-dimensional attacking theory. It wasn't easy for Spurs, but the lack of variation made it bearable. They must have been delighted to walk off with a point after the preceding half hour.
Two games, two draws, but the side is yet to play. Some fitness problems and some players still not finding their best form, but a win at Blackburn on Saturday would help boost confidence and give them something to build on.
What else do you want from a match ?? Three points and a decent referee perhaps ?? This game was packed with incident, but it left you with a good feeling that Spurs managed to hold out for a point and also an emptiness that an experienced referee had spoilt a Premiership match in such a fashion.
He missed Taricco's awful over-the-top tackle on Gravesen, which nobody could have moaned about if he had received a red card. He missed the fact that Doherty did very well to shepherd Campbell (what is it with that name) away from danger and not give away a penalty, only to find that the Irishman had a penalty awarded against him. And a red card was waiting once he had got up. Then came the second of two red cards in two minutes for Spurs when Poyet lifted his leg across Watson a the ball was pushed past the Uruguayan. It was a rash challenge and was quite unprofessional whether or not he should have got a red card as brandished by David Elleray. It looked high and that was probably why the ref did so. The official also managed to conjure up an offence when a cross reached Alexandersson at the far edge of the penalty box and he volleyed home. Sullivan might not have tried as hard as he would have done, had he not heard the early whistle.
In between the spotlight being on the whistle happy man in black the action ebbed and flowed with Everton pumping high balls into the Spurs box regularly to try and find the head of Duncan Ferguson. He did win a few in the first half, but most of the headers flew harmlessly to Sullivan. Alexandersson had already given Spurs due warning when he fired a far post shot against the angle of bar and post and Spurs were lucky it bounced out and was cleared. Spurs had nearly gone into the lead early on, when a cross from Taz on the right was fumbled by Gerrard and the ball went behind Sheringham. The keeper did the same thing in the second half, when the ball dropped behind him and hit Iversen, who wasn't reading the situation quickly enough and instead of trying to poke it in with a part of his body, it bounced off him and a foot wide of the post.
The Norwegian had two chances as he ran through the Toffees defence in the first period, but dragged both wide. It was only when Anderton exchanged passes with Poyet and then Ted twice, before slipping the ball through to Ivo, that Spurs took the lead. Even then, his shot was saved and Dazza had had the presence of mind to follow up and stuck it into the net from three yards out. It was almost straight from the re-start that Everton had their goal disallowed for a foul on a Spurs defender, which was news to just about everyone in the stadium.
In the second half, Spurs did not really threaten the Everton goal seriously and the pay was going towards the Spurs goal, although little forced Sully to make a save. The penalty was the turning point, as it led to two sendings off, two bookings and the equalising goal. After Spurs were reduced to nine men, Everton rarely looked like scoring. Their tactic of flinging crosses in to the big man were thwarted by Ledley King and most of their efforts on goal were high and wide.
Tottenham's problem was that even when they had eleven man, they kept giving the ball away. The disciplined passing that had been displayed in pre-season matches went out of the window as short balls found only blue shirts and players did not get back quick enough to defend. That left big holes down the Spurs left that Everton exploited, especially as Bunjy was played as the left of the back three - not his usual position. Teddy was one of the main culprits, but he was not alone. I can understand the thought behind clearing the ball as far away as possible when they were up against it at the end, but it just kept coming straight back. Surely, it would have been better to try and hold the ball in a position further up the field. Easy to say, I know, but at least then it might have been kept away from the last third of the pitch nearest our goal.
We all expected Poyet to get sent off at some stage (the way he had been "enforcing" in the friendlies), but not quite like tonight. Gus didn't have his best game even before the red card, while Anderton buzzed about, but was mostly ineffective. Iversen made some strange choices when he had the ball and seemed to be lost in the movement of the rest of the team. The defence were about the best part of the side and worked tirelessly to defend what the team had. Only Taricco should hold his head in shame. He never seemed like that sort of player and full credit to Glenn in not taking the Wenger way out by saying he DID see it and told the player that he was not happy about tackles like that. This is the sort of honesty we want coming out of all parts of the club, not just the team management.
In the end, you had to be glad for a point, but the implications of Elleray's actions will hit us in a few weeks if he does not review the punishment dished out to the Spurs players dismissed after watching video evidence.

Lonely Boy: Tales From A Sex Pistol (Da Capo Press)
By Joseph Kyle • February 8, 2017
Lonely Boy: Tales From A Sex Pistol
Da Capo Press
In the annals of punk rock legacy, Steve Jones is sadly given short shrift. Though it isn't fair, it's somewhat understandable; his bandmate John Lydon is an over-the-top personality, while Sid Vicious was a victim of his own enthusiasm, the cliche that became an archetype. Their band, the Sex Pistols, was managed by an equally over-the-top character, Malcolm McLaren, who exuded a Fagin-like personality over the band, simultaneously making them famous while taking advantage of them. The other band members—Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and former bassist Glen Matlock—were talented musicians, yet their lack of outgoing personalities results in them becoming secondary characters in their own history. Jones' autobiography, Lonely Boy, sheds light on a music legend who is known about but not really known.
If McLaren was Fagin, then Jones was the Artful Dodger. It's an apt metaphor; Jones' early life was dominated by sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and poverty, leading him to become a hooligan with a lust for sex and petty crime. Thus, Jones becomes an adult at a young age, whilst seemingly remaining an adolescent personality well into adulthood. (Heck, to validate the Dickensian metaphor even further, the first chapter describe the young Jones' dealings with Jack Wild, the young actor who famously portrayed The Artful Dodger.) Borne into poverty, Jones seemed to attract both criminal behavior and pedophiles, the recounting of sexual abuse makes for some very painful, difficult reading
Normally, one might be tempted to say that music would prove to be the young man's salvation…but in Jones' case, music merely proved to enhance Jones' wild life, and he simply turned to music for his crime. It's a part of lore, how Jones stole David Bowie's gear after the famous live performance that constituted his Ziggy Stardust concert film, as is the fact that the early Sex Pistols' gear was largely a hodgepodge of equipment stolen over the years. Now, one might think that stealing from one's heroes is a bit dodgy, but Jones seems to see it as a form of paying tribute—convoluted, yes, yet Jones' rationale is so charming, it almost makes sense. Then again, what is rock and roll without these stories of lore? (Don't miss the hilarious story of the stolen Rolling Stones jacket–a hilarious tale if ever there was one.)
For Jones, the Sex Pistols came and went rather quickly, and what started out as a fun time with his best mate Paul Cook quickly turned sour. Jones seems to appreciate that the band's incendiary nature practically ensured its relatively quick implosion, thanks to McLaren's obsession with media manipulation, Lydon's ego, and Sid Vicious's incompetence. It's quite telling, then, when he makes the observation that it wasn't until the band's reunion tour in 1996 that the group actually performed shows for an audience that wanted to see them and appreciated them for who they were.
If the Sex Pistols' split was the end of an unhappy experience, it was only the beginning for Jones' self-destruction. For someone who disdained the use of heroin in his former bandmate, he soon quickly gravitated to heroin addiction, which quickly overtakes him. He would put together bands, but they would come and go, as addiction and the irresponsibility that results from it halts any possible progress. His life goes from bad to worse, the nadir being a return to petty theft—stealing purses in clubs for the money, and selling stolen promotional glosses of Heart on the street to passersby—and the overwhelming desire for drink and dope makes for unpleasant reading, because that's all he's got going on. His post-breakup/pre-sobriety years are a blur, and it's surprising he remembers what he does.
But, thankfully, redemption does come. Sobriety comes slowly, but it does eventually happen. He becomes a hired hand who performs with many leading rock and roll figures. He learns to read and write. He starts a well-respected radio program, Jonesy's Jukebox. He takes up motorcycle riding and Transcendental Meditation. He still performs with the Sex Pistols, and even though the same animosities and frustrations arise, he still takes pleasure from playing with them. Lonely Boy isn't an easy, pleasant read—but then again, Jones' life hasn't been easy or pleasant—but it is most definitely engrossing. As sad as his tale may be, ultimately knowing that in his sixties Jones has found a level of contentment in his life makes the hard stuff easier to bear, resulting in a further appreciation of one of the more underrated guitarists of the rock era.

We heard that if the hospitalist would see the patient initially they could bill the initial E&M observation visit and if they would transfer service to the patient's family physician that they too could bill initial E&M observation if same calendar day but one of them would need to append a modifier for reduced service. Is this accurate? Which modifier would be appended if appropriate?
This was addressed in the November Hospitalist magazine. Provided the Hospitalist and the family Physician are not part of the same group, each Physician seeing the patient for the first time can use the codes 99218-99220, as these codes are for initial hospital care. I don't know about using a modifier for reduced service, but the AI modifier should be used, by whichever Physician is denoted as principal Physician of record, for Medicare and other carriers who have discontinued using consultation codes.
Thank you for your prompt response. Are you referring to APC's Hospitalist Magazine or Today's Hospitalist? I cannot locate any reference in either of these November issues for this topic.

'I have never seen so many fatalities'

AFTER 11 years as a police officer in northern Queensland, Acting Senior Sergeant Daniel Goldburg, like many others in the Mackay region, is coming to terms with some confronting statistics. It's the first time he has experienced four traffic crash deaths in one week.
"I have never seen so many fatalities in a such a short period," he said.
Last week's shocking statistics were compounded by a further 15 driving-related offences in a four-hour period on Sunday - highlighting the dangerous reality that some motorists are not heeding police warnings.
Snr Sgt Goldburg said with Christmas fewer than 15 days away people needed to take more care on the roads.
"The poor families that are going to try to celebrate Christmas without their loved ones; the emergency services, it affects them, their loved ones also feel it, and the whole community - the people who first get there, the witnesses that try to assist," he said.
"One fatality affects a large group of the community."
Mackay Police Acting Senior Sergeant Daniel Goldburg has called for drivers to take more care on the roads. Picture: Caitlan Charles
Mackay police had increased their presence on the roads since the fatalities, but drivers were still "deliberately" breaking the law, Snr Sgt Goldburg said.
"It's been a disappointing result.
"An officer has just tried to get to Proserpine and … it's taken him over four hours.
"It's not people just creeping up over, it's people deliberately going well above the speed limit."
Of the 15 driving-related offences, one driver was allegedly clocked at 143km/h.
A month ago, Snr Sgt Goldburg clocked a motorist driving at 173km/h in an 80km/h zone.
"It's just speeds that you can't recover from," he said.
"Your brakes aren't capable, the roads aren't designed for people to travel at that speed and you're not just putting yourself at risk. At those sort of speeds you're putting every motorist on the road and the community (at risk)."
Snr Sgt Goldburg said it was important for everyone to remember to be careful, especially after the number of deaths on Mackay roads.
"No one plans for something like that to happen," he said. "Follow the Fatal Five issues that cause most of the fatalities and have a good Christmas," he said.
The Fatal Five - the five major factors that cause road trauma - are speeding, drink or drug-driving, fatigue, driver distraction and not wearing a seatbelt.

Now Reading: Three Allies of Equality
Three Allies of Equality
General March 8, 2019
The following piece is written by Christina Roeren, Director of Customer Experience Excellence.
Today, on International Women's Day, I am working for free.
Gender inequality remains alive and well, with the Australian Government Working Gender Equality Agency announcing a current gender pay gap of 21.3%, equating to weekly wage-free Fridays.
Several readworthy articles, studies and resources are being shared all across the web this week, with a shared sentiment by many that whilst we can and should celebrate progress, we still have quite a way to go.
One of the areas I have personally reflected on the most, is the topic of both conscious, and particularly unconscious, gender bias. How do we move the dial on something that at times is seemingly invisible? One way I've found impactful, is stories. Sharing stories of personal impact, and stories of what or who have lifted us up.
My early experience has been far from hardship, but my starting point in a village of 2000 people as a mixed-race woman, was quite a distant world from where I find myself today. Here is some of my story.
At the age of 17, I jumped on a plane from Thailand to Norway, becoming financially independent and leaving my family behind on the opposite side of the world. I juggled multiple jobs to support myself throughout my studies at high school and university, including 5am wake-ups to scrub the toilets of the local shopping centre, spilling coffees on customers with my appalling waitressing skills, whilst unconsciously humming the nursery rhymes that were mentally on repeat after the day-care shift. In those roles, I sadly considered being spoken to in a condescending manner part and parcel of the job. At my core, I knew it was wrong, and I vowed then to never accept unfair class-based or gender-based treatment of others, when I one day hoped to be in charge.
When later finding myself in the post-university workforce, stepping into Country and Regional Manager roles, I was naively surprised at remaining at the receiving end of condescending gender and age-targeted comments from external clients and customers, often being initially mistaken for the intern or a new junior staff member. In my subsequent roles there were countless stories of colleagues to 'not take offence by' if I came across a misogynistic comment. It wasn't personal, after all.
That was only half of my story.
The other side was support. Challenges. Fun. Inspiring leaders. Empowering female leaders. Empowering male leaders. In reflecting on what enabled me to navigate the muddy waters and be able to have the experiences and opportunities I have had in my career, the common thread I found was allies. There were three kinds:
Others for me – Or really, others for others. In times where gender-stereotypes are perpetuated, self-doubt and anxiety can begin to rear, and the brain gets on a roundabout of thinking. The way to get off that roundabout is intervention, and quite often, a new perspective. It was instrumental for me to have inspiring and strong leaders (all of which at the earlier stages in my career were male) who only saw my skills and talents, and who created a safe space by calling out and actively discouraging gender inequality. It was also important to have a strong network of inspirational female leaders and peers, who not only thrived as leaders, but who didn't lose their sense of self in the process, staying true to being authentic and kind. Equality does not mean a loss of identity.
Me for me – although also prevalent in men, particularly women often suffer from impostor syndrome – or feeling 'secretly' inadequate – and I was no exception. I was not my own ally, rather I was my own worst critic. It took me time to realise that my leaders and peers, at times, trusted my talent before I did. When offered opportunities, I was the only one who could make the decision to trust them and have a go. It was important that I take the responsibility for becoming my own advocate, for the moments when my story would not be told for me.
Me for others – through opening up to receiving and accepting the reflections from my network, I understood the importance of also becoming an advocate for others. How could I be for others, what so many had very importantly been for me, and follow through on that promise I had made to myself. All leaders have the conscious responsibility to recognise our potential bias, our influence, and the need to call out and help others see and understand behaviour that is not acceptable. And if you see brilliance, call that out too.
More than ever, we need an ongoing discussion about how we help each other rise. On International Women's Day, as we continue to support women to rise into their voices and power, I encourage you to consider how you are promoting empowering behaviours, reflecting the talent you see around you and, importantly, how are you listening to what others see in you.

Scientists have discovered a way to destroy cancer tumors using nothing but sound waves
Wednesday, March 29, 2017 by: Earl Garcia
Tags: alternative cancer treatment, cancer, cancer treatments, ultrasounds
(Natural News) A recent breakthrough in high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy (HIFU) technology has proven its use as an effective cancer treatment. A multi-institutional research team from China developed a semi-enclosed, spherical cavity transducer that can produce a focused, standing-wave field with a subwavelength-scale focal region and extremely high ultrasound intensity. The spherical cavity transducer appeared to generate tighter focal regions and greater pressure amplitude compared with the traditional concave spherical transducer. Researchers said the level of intensity generated by the new transducer design may lead to significant improvements in HIFU therapy. The findings were published in the Journal of Applied Physics.
HIFU is a non-invasive, targeted treatment that makes use of sound waves to eradicate cancer cells. HIFU uses an ultrasonic transducer to convert electrical signals into sound waves, then concentrates ultrasound into a small focal region to raise the temperature to more than 65 decrees Celsius, thereby killing cancer cells in the process without inducing damage to surrounding tissues. The technique works in the same manner as focusing sunlight through a lens, which helps eliminate the disease-causing cells.
HIFU can be used as an alternative to traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery.
Sound waves prove to be viable cancer treatment in various studies
High-intensity focused ultrasound therapy proved to be a highly-effective cancer treatment in various studies and clinical trials.
For instance, researchers at the University College Hospital in London examined 625 men with prostate cancer and found that 93 percent of patients who underwent HIFU alone remained cancer-free at five years following the treatment, without requiring surgery or radiotherapy. Data also showed that only one to two percent of patients who had HIFU treatment suffered long-term urinary incontinence, compared with 10 to 20 percent of patients who had surgery. In addition, only 15 percent of patients in the HIFU group developed erectile dysfunction compared with 30 to 60 percent of surgical patients.

"The results of this study are impressive and have the potential to transform prostate cancer treatment for many men in the future. It is extremely exciting technology and these results show that in men diagnosed early by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood testing, this targeted therapy could be as effective as surgery to remove the whole prostate gland or radiotherapy and cause far fewer side effects," said study co-author Tim Dudderidge.
The findings were presented at an annual meeting of the European Association of Urology in Munich, Germany.
A British clinical trial funded by the Medical Research Council has also found that 95 percent of patients who underwent HIFU therapy for prostate cancer remained cancer-free at 12 months after the treatment. The researchers also found that none of the respondents suffered urinary incontinence during the follow-up period.
Another sound wave innovation to watch out for
Researchers at the University of Alberta in Canada have developed a new technique that uses focused sound waves to activate minute particles known as nanodroplets. According to the researchers, the new technique was as accurate as using needles in biopsy.
"With a little bit of ultrasound energy, nanodroplets phase-change into microbubbles. That's important because ultrasound can really oscillate these microbubbles. The microbubbles absorb of the ultrasound energy and then act like boxing gloves to punch the tumor cells and knock little vesicles off. That led us to detect some genes that were indicative of the aggressiveness of the tumour. That's potentially very powerful. You can get a genetic characterization of the tumour, but do it relatively non-invasively," said engineering professor Roger Zemp.
The findings were published in the journal Cancer Research.
