How far am I from the queue?: Filipino researchers develop Vaccine Queue Calculator
by Marilou Lorzano
A continued rise in positive COVID-19 cases led to the creation of something convenient for users to find their place in the long vaccination line.
"How far am I from the queue?"
Two researchers from Omni Calculator have the answer. With their 'Vaccine Queue Calculator,' Engr. Kenneth Alambra and Reina Sagnip hope to help every Filipino in determining when they will have the vaccine and where users are in the queue.
"Actually last year, nung nag-start 'yung pandemic, we've already started creating Corona virus-related calculators. So nung lumabas 'yung balita na meron ng bakuna, isa 'yun sa mga naisip namin na gawin, 'yung vaccine calculator," Engr. Alambra, a BS Civil Engineering alumnus from UPLB said, explaining what pushed them to take initiative in creating the project.
This was in light of the Philippine government's official launch of its vaccination program last March 1, wherein vaccines from various companies including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and even ones that are manufactured in China, such as CoronaVac were procured.
The government's aim is to vaccinate 50 to 70% of the population by the end of the year, which can only happen if their target rate of vaccinating at least 1,274,980 Filipinos weekly is reached. However, the country is still a long way from meeting our government's target. As of March 30 this year, only 737,569 of the 1,079,800 vaccines allocated for the first dose had been administered to the public.
"Since there are around 110 million people in the Philippines, not everybody can get vaccinated immediately. It raises a whole load of new questions: Who will be first in the queue to get the vaccine? When are you likely to be offered it? [and] How far are we away from the finish line?" both Engr. Alambra and Sagnip of De La Salle University (DLSU)-Manila told the Perspective in an email.
This sluggish rate, among other factors, are measured by the Vaccine Queue Calculator, determining an approximate of the user's place in the long queue of individuals wanting to be vaccinated in the Philippines.
Birth of the vaccine calculator
In a virtual interview with Engr. Alambra, they discussed that their idea began with that of a colleague, a British physicist.
"So this project started last December, when our co-researcher Steve Wooding wondered kung pang-ilan siya sa pila. Kasi from United Kingdom siya, and UK was one of the countries to start vaccinating [their] people, so sila 'yung una sa mga nagbabakuna," Engr. Alambra said.
This led Wooding to create the first ever vaccine queue calculator for his country. It has since drawn the attention of numerous people, who then began accessing Wooding's project.
When the Philippines finally commenced its vaccination program, Engr. Alambra and Sagnip used data from The Philippine National Deployment and Vaccination Plan for COVID-19 Vaccines to create the calculator.
After the information was published in late February, they still waited for the target vaccination rate of the government, hence leading them to make adjustments in the calculator.
Engr. Alambra and Sagnip were able to complete the calculator with the help of Wooding, who assisted in programming and consulting. As daunting as it looked, it was little of a surprise for the duo, citing that they encountered various obstacles while working on the project.
"Una sa lahat, since January, we have started creating the calculator. However, since the figures are not yet available [at that time], like the population for each priority group […] it was a challenge [for us] to get those data," explained Engr. Alambra.
He discussed the difficulty of creating adjustments in the calculator, after noting changes in the national vaccination plan. He also noted that the main challenge they have faced was seeking actual data for the updated priority list since the figures had been changing.
Functions and accuracy
In most cases, one would be dubious of the accuracy this calculator provides, but Alambra and Sagnip thoroughly demonstrated the function and the precision of this calculator. Every piece of information shown in the calculator is focused solely on government statistics.
As the researchers said in their report, the Philippine government prioritizes residents in high-risk communities with dense populations.
To use the calculator, users must type their age in years.
People who are expected to be prioritized include senior (60 years and older), active health workers (due to being more exposed to the virus), ones with pre-existing diseases or comorbidities who are aged 18 to 59 years, a "frontliner" in "essential sectors" that are recognized by COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), and other "indigent population" as said by Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) are under Priority Group A.
Users with hypertension, high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, or any chronic diseases and respiratory ailments will have to say yes to the "persons with comorbidities" field. However, before you take the vaccine, and to ensure maximum protection, it will always be best to see your own doctor.

"Essential sectors" that are recognized by IATF include uniformed staff of Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) among other agencies, and agricultural and manufacturing workers among other lines of work. All this according to the Omnibus Guidelines on the Implementation of Community Quarantine in the Philippines.
Priority Eligible B, meanwhile, would cover others vulnerable to the virus, including teachers, government workers, workers outside the Philippines, persons with disabilities (as recognized again by DSWD), "those deprived of their liberties," and indigenous folk.
The estimated minimum and maximum number of queued people before the user gets their vaccine will be shown, including the assumed date of vaccination, upon answering the questions.
However, the figures in the queue are subject to changes since there are three vaccine rollout options available in the calculator: the Philippine government's vaccination rate target, the current actual rate of the vaccination campaign based on the data provided by the Department of Health (DOH), or one in which you can set the average vaccine rate in days, weeks, months, and years. This is where the time at which vaccines are distributed is seen. You may also insert an estimation of how long it will take to vaccinate each adult in the Philippines in whichever format you choose.

For instance, if an 18-year-old student who does not fall into any of the aforementioned priority groups uses this calculator then selects "the Philippine government's target" as their option in the vaccine rollout, there will be between 26,769,670 and 40,664,981 people in front of them in the queue for a COVID vaccine across the Philippines. Their first dose is expected to be administered between January 21, 2022 and June 23, 2022.
But, if they chose the current actual rate in the drop-down menu, they will most likely undergo their first vaccination between September 23, 2025 and January 20, 2028. The vaccination dates are longer as compared to the first result, owing to the fact that the calculation at this point is dependent on how the Philippine government distributes vaccines to individuals at a given time frame, saying that the numbers shown in the calculator can be relied on.
"…There are some [from abroad] na nagbigay sa'min ng feedback na almost the same 'yung date, nauna lang 'yung vaccination niya ng dalawang araw doon sa ibinigay na result ng calculator." he said.
The result of the calculation,
However, Sagnip stated that the queue can also not be strictly followed due to reasons such as incorrect input from local government units (LGUs) and the infamous 'VIP Vaccination.' Such massive changes would not be reflected on the calculator though.
According to the two, the calculator would be available to anyone with internet access anytime without the need to sign up or enter personal information such as name, email address, contact number, and the likes of it.
As of now, they have no long-term plans for this calculator. Instead, they hoped that the pandemic would end, and the number of affected individuals and fatalities will gradually diminish.
"We are hoping that this pandemic is going to end, and 'yung figures na binibigay nito ay mauubos. So as long as we are vaccinating, there are people who [will] get [to have] the vaccine. And once matapos tayo sa pagbabakuna, then the calculator will not be significant anymore," explained Alambra.

Jersey City mayor buys new home on same block as old home -- for $2.4 million
Updated: Aug. 20, 2021, 11:36 a.m. |
Published: Aug. 19, 2021, 3:46 p.m.
272 Ogden Avenue, Jersey City
Ron Zeitlinger | The Jersey Journal
The First Family of Jersey City didn't have to go far to find a new home for their growing family.
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and his wife, Jaclyn, and their two young children are moving down the block after spending $2.4 million for a home in which former New York Giant Justin Pugh lived.
The purchase of 272 Ogden Ave., in the Heights neighborhood on the north side of Riverview Fisk Park, was finalized in June and is the third home now owned by the Fulops. They will continue to live in their home, for now, at 360 Ogden Ave., on the south side of the park; and also own a waterfront home in Narragansett, Rhode Island.
"Jersey City will always be our home, and we're very grateful to have found this property within our current neighborhood that will be able to support our growing family and also allow Steven's parents to move in with us eventually," the mayor and his wife said in a statement. "Family is incredibly important to us both, and the opportunity to bring us all closer together while staying in the neighborhood we love was impossible to pass up."
The Fulops moved into the Heights neighborhood in 2015 when they purchased 360 Ogden for $845,000. A move-in date for the new home has not been set, city spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said.
The new home was purchased from Dixon Advisory, the real estate arm of an Australian company that contributed $200,000 to a super PAC supporting Fulop's one-time bid for governor and oversaw a $485,000 renovation of the mayor's current home.
The new home, like their current home, offers spectacular views of the New York City skyline. The two-story, brick-faced residence features a rooftop pool and deck, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a movie theater and four-car garage. The home was featured on NJ.com in 2019 when Pugh moved out. Pugh had been renting the home for more than $11,000 a month.
The purchase of the home was first reported by HudsonCountyView.com.
As mayor, Steve Fulop earns $117,781 annually. Jaclyn Fulop is the owner and clinical director of Exchange Physical Therapy, which has locations in Jersey City, Weehawken and Hoboken.
"We've both been very fortunate to have had success in our careers, and we feel very blessed to be in a position to put down these kinds of permanent roots in this community that means so much to our family as we look forward to raising our kids here in the Jersey City Heights," the Fulops said.
According to records on file with the Hudson County Register, the home has a $1.6 million 30-year mortgage. The home is assessed for slightly more than $1 million and the property tax for 2020 was $17,497.


Miró painted 'Le Courtisan Grotesque 3' in 1965 following a request by his friend, the printer and bibliophile of Russian origin Iliazd (born Zdanevich Ilia).
'Le Courtisan Grotesque 3' presents the main qualities of the poetic artist: in it, the viewer can read vibrant lyricism, vital energy, sense of humor and the tragedy of life. Among the spots of color and the schematic lines, and the sinuous and fragmented rhythms, one is able to recognize Miró's lexicon: abundant astral signs (suns, moons and stars), fragments of human figures (such as breasts and torsos), primary colors and bizarre fauna.

How do I monetize my new website/blog?
I get this question often, and unfortunately most of the time people do not like the answer.
I have a very strong belief that when you are first launching a new website of almost any type that you shouldn't be trying to monetize it right away. You should have a monetization strategy in your mind, but I don't think you should always be adding ads or other ways to monetize right away.
I am a firm believer in growing your audience and getting the name out there first. Often people will get scared away if they see ads, but if your website is already established and you are bringing them in, people will be more forgiving. It's also about showing value, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with someone showing an affiliate link as long as they are offering value. However if they are just throwing out affiliate links with no value, then we have a problem.
When you start out, you want to grow your trust as well.
When we talk about actually monetizing, often people try something like adsense or media.net or infolinks. You can certainly make money with these, but you are leaving a ton of money on the table, there are many middlemen and most of them will be making more than you.
Depending on the niche of your website, I often find CPA (cost per action) offers perform much better and will give much more profit than programs such as adsense. You can find these offers on affiliate networks such as Maxbounty and Peerfly. However, keep in mind, it might take some testing and time before you see the success you want. You may need to test different types of offers to see what your audience will respond to.
Another easy way to monetize most sites is to use EPN (ebay partner network) or Amazon, you can list products on your website and if someone purchases through your link you get a percentage of the sale. I unfortunately find the percentage way too low with both EPN and Amazon, but that's just me.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers celebrates a touchdown by the team against the Seattle Seahawks during the first half of Sunday's game in Seattle.
Philip Rivers, maintaining control in noisy Seattle, turned in another good game Sunday to guide the Chargers to their fifth consecutive victory, 25-17, against a decent Seahawks squad that was favored by one point on many betting lines.
Rivers, making his 200th consecutive start, finished off one of the better half-seasons of his 13 years as the club's starter.
With two more scoring throws and no turnovers, he has 19 touchdown passes and three interceptions through the eight games. He belongs in the MVP conversation, although not ahead of former Chargers teammate Drew Brees and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
What stood out most from the quarterback, though, was his confident yet perhaps also tough-love messaging in postgame comments.
Rivers lauded the Seahawks but said early in the game, when he led touchdown drives of 94, 83 and 65 yards, he had a bigger final number in mind.
San Diegans can appreciate Rivers' desire to wring the maximum from his team.
Rivers led comparably explosive offenses in Mission Valley during several seasons, yet the journey never reached a Super Bowl.
The previous Chargers team he piloted in Seattle was one of those frustrating squads.
Back then, in 2010, the Chargers led the NFL in yards on offense and defense but failed to win their fifth consecutive AFC West title or a wild-card berth.
Shoddy special teams wrecked the 2010 season, and were particularly faulty in Seattle, where allowing the Seahawks' Leon Washington to return kicks for two touchdowns offset Rivers' 455-yard passing day.
There were Deja Seattle moments Sunday.
Rivers again blistered a Pete Carroll-coach defense.
The blocking was strong. Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler eluded or ran by tacklers.
Receivers Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams made plays, and when Antonio Gates drew a safety out of the deep post, Rivers and Allen exploited the void for a 54-yard hookup on third-and-long.
Rivers, grimacing on the sideline, while watching blunders from the Chargers' kicking game.
Caleb Sturgis missed three kicks, worth five points total.
Rivers let out a howl after Sturgis' first miss, which kept Seattle ahead, 7-6.
When Sturgis missed his second PAT of the day and sixth of the season, Rivers shook his head.
Sturgis, who also was wide from 42 yards, now has 10 failed scoring kicks in six games.
The AFC West-leading Chiefs (8-1) are less forgiving.
Their kicking game is sound, and their offense takes full advantage of the NFL's pro-offensive climate. After trashing the Browns on Sunday, the Chiefs have scored 30 points or more in eight of their nine games.
The Chargers (6-2) may have slightly better offensive balance than the Chiefs, and may have more defensive talent, especially if they regain Joey Bosa, but Rivers no doubt sees that 35 or 40 points in today's NFL is a realistic expectation for a high-powered offense against a number of defenses.
Beating the Seahawks by any score in Seattle warrants some celebrating, and kudos go to a smart, scrappy Chargers defense that, after a rough first drive, seemed to confuse Russell Wilson and out-quick his blockers.
Coach Anthony Lynn won't lack for tough-love material, though, and may want to review his own decisions in the kicking game, such as sticking with Sturgis instead of the more accurate Michael Badgley and going for two points in the first quarter after the first missed PAT.
Let's not confuse the Seahawks (4-4) with an established, good team.
Carroll has a young squad in transition that got untracked against the last-place Cardinals and the disgracefully bad Raiders before thumping the ordinary Lions to go above .500.
So, the Chargers, while rising in aptitude, still have yet to defeat a good team in the Lynn Era and won't get a chance until December, when they'll go to Pittsburgh and Kansas City. Until then, they may want to keep Rivers' comments in mind. If you can "blow the doors off," keep your foot on the gas.

Q: Safari HTTP status code -1001? Not entirely sure what is happening here. I'm making the following AJAX call, in Safari it fails and returns status code -1001. However Safari seems to think the call has been successful, despite the fact it returns no data.
Opening the url in another window returns the correct data. I can't seem to find anything on this status code on Google, although one post did suggest that Safari has issues with calls that take a while to return.
 $.ajax({
        url : sponsor.url,
        async : false,
        dataType : 'json',
        success : function(result) {
            if (result.length > 0) {
                var offer;
                for ( var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
                    offer = result[i];
                    sponsor.offers[offer.id] = {
                            'id' : offer.id,
                            'displayType' : offer.offerDisplay.displayType,
                            'status' : 'accept'
                    }
                    console.log(offer);
                }

            }
        }
    });

I'm wondering if this might have something to do with the async:false? The call does take quite a long time to return because I am running this within my local tomcat instance. The call can take upwards of 10 seconds to return on my local machine, however in a live environment the call is near instantaneous.

Nightline: Soccer program views goals in more ways than one.
As some of you know, in honor of World Cup fever, we've been highlighting ways that soccer projects around the world are changing lives.
Last night, Nightline went one better and covered one of those projects in South Africa, providing a great article and video piece on how Academy of Hope in South Africa is helping men in prison re-direct their lives by directing the ball around the soccer field.
The program has a great success rate as well. Of 18 prisoners who have gone through it and been released, the story explains, only two have returned to prison.
Nightline explains that Andre is in good company in beating the odds, as the prison he walked out of–where Academy of Hope's program is based–is the same one that Nelson Mandela walked out of in 1990.
So, the legacy of soccer as a tool for good continues. Score!
Lisa Kays is GlobalGiving's Acting Communications Director. She grew up playing soccer and knows firsthand that it's a force for good in the world.
World Cup inspires seeing soccer/football as mechanism for social change.
The link clicks through to the United Nation's "Unite Against Malaria" Facebook page.
This was quite timely, as the Tweet came through just as I was creating GlobalGiving's World Cup landing page, featuring projects related to soccer.
Not long after, Tobias Eigen, President of Kabissa, an organization that bolsters civil society in Africa, sent out a message asking everyone what they were doing to leverage the World Cup in their awareness-raising and social change efforts in Africa.
It's 10 a.m. on the day the World Cup is launching, and, in addition to those above, I've already seen Tweets or emails linking the World Cup to issues of global awareness and social action from @growingupglobal and even @usaid, and, of course, @peacecorpsconnect.
It's fun and exciting to see an international sports platform being used in such creative, inventive ways to draw attention to issues which are less fun, but even more important than a soccer game, such as malaria, poverty alleviation, and HIV/AIDS.
The projects GlobalGiving is featuring on our World Cup landing page drive this home.
In just the sampling of projects we feature that tie to soccer, the issues being tackled include using soccer to help inmates in South African prisons reintegrate into society, reducing stigmas associated with amputees in Sierra Leone through amputee soccer, providing soccer as recreation for children in a refugee camp in Rafah, and using soccer as a means to build leadership and self-esteem for military daughters in the U.S.
We're looking forward to seeing how the World Cup is used to fuel awareness of and support for projects and issues like these as much as we're looking forward to the matches themselves.
And trust us, we're really excited about the matches.
In Guguletu, South Africa, a woman named Linda provides care for eight children who have no home of their own. Linda knows each of the children's stories, ages, and names.
Linda can't tell you the name of one of the girls, because she hasn't spoken since arriving at Linda's home with no documentation or other information. Though physically healthy, the child remains silent. Linda worries that she was previously literally locked up alone somewhere.
To provide this kind of quality care to vulnerable children, Linda depends on Ikamva Labantu, an organization that provides social support to South Africa's most vulnerable, with a special focus on children. Ikamva Labantu fosters success for school kids through innovative basketball and chess programs, as well as vocational skills training. They also focus on early learning and education programs in the formal and informal sectors.In addition, Ikamva Labantu supports families raising children orphaned by AIDS, fuels small businesses by providing start-up tools and training, and runs senior centers.
Symantec Corporation, a global leader in providing security, storage and systems management solutions to help consumers and organizations secure and manage their information-driven world, was so impressed by Ikamva Labantu that they awarded a grant to provide much-needed computers and IT support to bolster their work.
Symantec's grant is part of their tailored, corporate philanthropic partnership with GlobalGiving, to support work in four focus areas: K-12 science, technology, engineering, and math education; women and minorities in engineering; environmental sustainability; and online safety.
Through the customized service provided through GlobalGiving, Symantec was able to provide a grant tailored to Ikamva Labantu's needs, resulting in eight new computers, 11 upgraded computers, a new external hard drive, and a new color printer and 10 desktop printers.
With this gift, Symantec is investing in the sustainability of a proven, vetted organization, freeing up Ikamva Labantu to focus their resources on what they do best.
Symantec and GlobalGiving invite you to build upon Symantec's generous gift and fuel the tremendous work Ikamva Labantu is doing to change lives in South Africa.


Why Engine-Driven? Construction job sites, field fabrication, maintenance/repair and weather emergencies demand generator and welding power in locations where electrical outlets aren't available. In these instances, professionals, farmers/ranchers and homeowners rely on the output of an engine-driven welding generator. These "two-in-one" machines feature a gas-, diesel- or LP-driven engine that produces 3,500 to 20,000 watts of 120/240 VAC generator power (depending on the model) to run tools, lights, appliances and motors. They also produce Stick, TIG, MIG and flux cored outputs, so you can tackle every field welding challenge.

Welcome to the site, Perry.


There has been much debate and argument about what has become known as Chemtrails. But one thing that I have never seen written, or have heard from others, is the monetary cost. Cost in terms of health and projected conspiracies are talked about in abundance, but none speaks about what it is costing, not only to our country but to countries around the world. For the spraying of barium, titanium and aluminum salts, and other chemicals is going on around the world, except possibly over the skies of China. So I did a little calculation, and purposely stayed on the conservative side in estimating the costs, to see how much is being spent on the spraying by the United States. I hope this article will help stir people up to get answers concerning the amount of our tax dollars that are exhausted on these Chemtrails.
1) There are at least five planes per location, and at least five hundred locations covering 500 square miles each.
2) Each plane flies at least six hours a day for two hundred days a year.
The below items were not calculated into the projected monetary expenditures.
In case you get lost in all those zeros, it is $ 75 Billion dollars per year worldwide.
You can rest assured that the US is picking up the tab for at least 80% the Chemtrail spraying in these other countries also. If that is true, then the US is spending sixty billion one hundred and fifty million per year on Chemtrail spraying. So, where is the money coming from and who is accountable for the expenditures, and who is overseeing the spending?

Data center automation is a hulking $14 billion segment of the enterprise IT industry dominated by hulking giants like IBM, HP (through its $1.6 billion Opsware acquisition), BMC (through its $800 million BladeLogic acquisition in 2008), and VMWare. Companies often have thousands of servers, both physical and virtual, that need to be managed, and on top of that they are trying to keep track of virtual machines on Amazon's EC2 or Rackspace. A new enterprise startup called ScaleXtreme is tooling up to attack IT systems management from the cloud.
It is backed by Accel Partners, which took its entire $2.5 million series A round last August, and its two co-founders have some serious enterprise startup chops. CTO Balaji Srinivasa was the principal product architect for BladeLogic before it was sold to BMC. CEO Nand Mulchandani founded and sold several enterprise startups in the past (Oblix to Oracle, Determina to VMWare), and was also the CEO of OpenDNS and an EIR at Accel.

When it comes to laying on the beach or taking a dip in the pool, sunscreen and SPF are the obvious choice to protect your body — but what about your scalp?
That unprotected skin, exposed at the part, hairline or thinning area, is just as much at risk as anywhere else on your body, said Dr. Deborah Sarnoff, a dermatologist and the president-elect of the Skin Cancer Foundation. The international organization is devoted to "education, prevention, early detection and prompt treatment" of the disease.
In 2014, Sarnoff's hairstylist found a bluish-black mark on her scalp, a major sign of scalp melanoma. The mark was benign, thankfully, but not everyone is so fortunate.
"Skin cancers of the scalp are easy for patients to overlook, which can delay their detection," Emily Prager, communications manager of the Skin Cancer Foundation, told TODAY. "This delay can increase the risk of the cancer spreading to places like the brain, which can be deadly."
Sarnoff recommends wearing a hat whenever sun exposure is an issue and to find shade wherever possible, but there are other alternatives. In fact, some sunscreens are designed specifically for the scalp. Here are three easy ways to protect this often overlooked area from the summer sun.
RELATED: How much do you really know about SPF?
1. Try specially made sunscreens.
These innovative products are great because they provide sun protection without making hair feel oily. Dermatologist Dr. Debra Wattenberg noted that while they will likely be lacking common ingredients like zinc or titanium oxide — elements that makes most sunscreens white and greasy — it's important to check for active chemical ingredients, like oxybenzone or homosalate.
"While some natural ingredients have some protective elements, (products like the Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum) should be used more as a conditioner," she said.
The Sunscreen Care Oil Spray Broad by Clarins is a lightweight, grease-free formula with SPF 30 and active chemical sunscreen ingredients.
2. Hats are where it's at!
Sarnoff recommends a broad-brimmed hat that's at least 3 inches wide from the face. A broad brim is great because it will not only protect your scalp, but also your face, neck and ears at the same time.
A good way to ensure that a product is worth the purchase is to see if it has received a seal of recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation. The Ribbon Bucket Hat from Coolibar is a great choice because the wide brim provides great protection, while maintaining a classically chic style.
Another great option is the Julia design from the Wallaroo Hat Company. The hat is edged with black trim to complement the "Audrey Hepburn-inspired, polka dot chiffon scarf," according to Wallaroo's website.
3. If all else fails, find (or create) shade.
Whether it's from an umbrella, a tent or just from staying indoors, shade is your friend during the summer.
Copa's Oxford Vented Beach Umbrella, which received the seal of recommendation, is a great option since the canopy provides UPF 50+ protection.
Rio Brands, also recommended by the foundation, has an adorable option called the Ultimate Sun Umbrella. The bright colors just feel like summer!

Game On: You Can Now Play Games On Messenger
PAC-MAN, Galaga, SPACE INVADERS, EverWing, TRACK & FIELD 100M and Words with Friends: Frenzy…and many more titles rolling out, starting today.
By Andrea Vaccari, Product Manager, Messenger
Messenger just got way more fun — or competitive — depending on how you look at it, with the ability to play games right in your messaging conversations. So when you're looking for a reason to connect with your best friend who lives on the other side of the world, you can kick off a round of Words with Friends: Frenzy; or try again to beat your roommate at PAC-MAN just once; and of course, you always have time to challenge your brother to EverWing, SPACE INVADERS, TRACK & FIELD 100M, Galaga, and many other Instant Games. This gaming experience will first roll out to 30 countries, and is available for newer iOS and Android operating systems.
We've made it very simple to start playing: In the latest version of the app, open a conversation with a friend (or friends!), tap on the game controller icon just below where you type your message, and choose a game to start playing right away. After you finish a round, people in the conversation will see your score and will have the opportunity to challenge you back. People can also discover games within the Messenger search field, or on Facebook News Feed where they can play solo or challenge friends back in Messenger. Games on Messenger are the first to be rolled out on Facebook's new Instant Games cross-platform gaming experience.
Social, fun and competitive, games on Messenger feature score-based leaderboards, in-context chat, and group thread conversations to challenge, celebrate and congratulate.
The 1 billion people who use Messenger every month connect, banter and share in so many ways. They do this by sending Stickers when words aren't enough, tapping on Instant Video to share smiles with Mom after an awesome day, or making a quick voice call to let friends know they're running late. Now they can connect and compete over their favorite games. We think this is just the beginning for games on Messenger — look for new titles to be added, and for new ways to play. Game on!

'Putin Burger' Waitresses Fired in New York City
Screenshot Ruptly
Two employees have been fired from a New York City restaurant after they created and filmed a "Putin burger" in celebration of the Russian president's birthday.
The video agency Ruptly, owned by the Kremlin-backed news outlet RT, on Oct. 7 ran a story about Lucy's Cantina Royale in Manhattan, featuring a 1,952-gram burger in honor of Vladimir Putin's birth year.
Perhaps the gram measurement in a country where ounces are used was the first tip-off that the celebration was staged.
When Russian journalist Alexei Kovalev contacted the restaurant, representative Sean Ryan said his establishment "had never in any form celebrated the birthday of Vladimir Putin." Ryan said that the waitress had "lied about a school film project," and was suspended pending investigation.
Russian independent channel Dozhd TV confirmed on Wednesday that the employees broadcast by RT offering the burger — Darya Pauto, a bartender, and Tamara Ilizarova, a waitress — had been dismissed.
Kremlin Denies Involvement in Nothingburger-Gate
Pauto, who said she had worked at the cantina for two and a half years, learned of her suspension from the news. "Tamara, the waitress, was just filmed in the feature. I was the one to make the campaign," Pauto said.
Confronted with Kovalev's findings, RT said they had "no reason to doubt the authenticity of the story" and quoted an interview by the state-run news agency TASS with "Lucy bar manager Ted Bryan" as proof.
On Oct. 10, TASS published an audio clip of an interview with a man who gave his name as "Ted Bryan" and claimed to be a manager at Lucy's Cantina. The man described in detail the recipe for the "Putin Burger," which he called "a crazy idea."
Ryan, the spokesperson, said there had never been any manager by that name, calling the incident "a hoax involving Vladimir Putin's birthday."
Ruptly subsequently removed the burger story from its website, saying it "did not meet editorial standards" but copies remain on other channels.

Naša native speakerka Alona o tom, ako sa učia deti na Slovensku.
I moved here bright eyed and bushy tailed thinking that the language barrier would be no problem and that I would surely pick up Slovak through osmosis. As you can probably guess, this turned out to be rather naive. So, I am slowly trying to learn new words and phrases.
I have worked out that the best way to learn is to ask my students to teach me a word or phrase. They are very sweet and patient but I have 1 particular class that has a special place in my heart.
The concept that 5 year olds can learn English through osmosis is a wonderful concept to me. I have taught my 5 year olds for 5 weeks and they have picked up 5 times more than I have in my 5 months in Slovakia.
"I don't speak Slovak. You know a tomato? That round, red thing you eat in a salad?
They look through their big eyelashes at me with a look of confusion and disbelief.
It must be odd to a bilingual 5 year old that their language teacher only speaks 1 language.
In the 5 weeks that I have had my 5 year olds they have astonished me with the speed in which they pick up English. The biggest surprise however, has been the amount of Slovak they have taught me.
The most satisfying moments come when they are struggling to say something in English and I (miraculously) know the translation.
Then I feel like an absolute genius for about 5 seconds.
I'm thinking of teaching them how to give me a high 5 every time they get a word spot on.

Q: Differences in edition of advanced statistics books In general I'm wondering if there's any danger in studying from older edition statistics books. The undergrad material seems to have remained unchanged throughout the last century, but I'm looking for 'the next step', which makes me wonder if older editions will be modern enough.
For example, Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis, Johnson/Wichern seems to be a book very much in my taste and I wouldn't mind saving $60 on a used copy from 1992. Would this have any drawbacks when self studying?

A: Look in the preamble to later editions to see what's changed & whether you care very much. There may only be a couple of things, which you could look up elsewhere. To be honest it's not uncommon for some modern technique or other to be shoe-horned in when it's treated better elsewhere. If you decide on an older edition try to supplement it with review articles that describe the state of the art & give the more recent references that will be lacking.

Q: optimizing nested if statements with mysql I am currently building an API for another piece of software; we are using a token id with transnational replacement for user authorization maintenance. We are trying to determine the faster(and less resource intensive) mode to complete the task of a nested if statement (whether we should use php to operate the if statement or allow the mysql engine to complete the task.
It can be noted the same server is operating MySQL and PHP so there is not the benefit of load diversion by splitting the argument between two servers.
our options as we see it is the following:
PHP Driven if statement
            $sql = $conn->prepare("SELECT uid
            ,ukey
            FROM token
            WHERE ukey = :ukey AND uid = :uid AND timeexp >= now()");
            $sql->execute(array('ukey' => $curtoken, 'uid' => $uid));
            $result = $sql->fetchAll();

            if ( count($result) ) {
                //New MySQL Statement to run our action
            }

or using mysql if/where statements
INSERT INTO TABLE
SELECT value_for_column1, value_for_column2, ...
FROM wherever
WHERE ((SELECT count(*) FROM `Token` WHERE ukey = :ukey AND uid = :uid AND timeexp >= now()) =1)

A: There are a couple places where optimization can be done.
Indexes
Since select ukey, uid...where ukey = :ukey AND uid = :uid... uses ukey,uid pair, there may be value in putting a composite index on ukey+uid.
INSERT has a subquery that uses those 2 columns as well and could benefit from the index. However, if there are 50-100 rows, I doubt index will have significant influence. Table scan may be equally quick. If the table gets to be a few thousand records, consider the composite index.
Ask for count rather than fields
If you were to switch from select ukey, uid... to select count(*), the data returned from the database will be a single number. Fewer bits will go between application and database and throughput will improve. I don't know whether the improvement will be noticeable unless it is running at scale.
There might be a PHP-related benefit. Instead of $result = $sql->fetchAll(), you could use $count = $sql->fetchColumn() to get the count directly in a variable. PHP can then do comparisons quicker with if ($count > 0) ...
Where exists
WHERE (
   SELECT count(*)
   FROM `Token`
   WHERE ukey = :ukey AND uid = :uid AND timeexp >= now() = 1
)

could be replaced with something like this:
WHERE EXISTS (
   SELECT 1 FROM `Token`
   WHERE ukey = :ukey AND uid = :uid AND timeexp >= now())
)

That way, a count(*) and comparison therefore to 1 is not needed.
You're already doing a nice job of purging information routinely to keep a small, clean set of data. That'll help with querying and scaling.

Press Releases » Surprise SawYouAtSinai Chuppah at Jewish Unity Concert
On November 13th, 3,000 people gathered in Kings Theater in Brooklyn, New York for 'The Power of Jewish Unity' concert, featuring Jewish superstars Gad Elbaz, Dudu Fisher and Nissim Black. The night's theme focused on Jewish continuity, emphasizing the strength and survival of the Jewish people. So, what could be more fitting than incorporating into the evening's progam, a wedding between the descendants of Holocaust survivors. A match made by popular Jewish matchmaking site, SawYouAtSinai.com.
Pesach Charni's family fled Vienna when Austria was annexed by The Nazis, whilst his bride Avigail Chazin grew up in Kiev, Ukraine, discovering only at 13 that she was Jewish. Avigail says her first step to pursuing a Jewish life was to find a Jewish partner. She signed up for various Jewish dating sites, and comments ""One of the websites was SawYouatSinai, that for us, became a sell fulfilling prophecy". Shortly after their engagement, they heard that the concert's producers were looking for a couple to get married on stage, and were immediately on board. "Our people had so many tragedies and we shed so many tears, that when we have a joyous occasion you want to share it with everybody, and you want to make it loud and invite as many people as possible," Avigail said.
Thousands of Jews from all backgrounds, were taken by surprise, as the performers cleared to stage to make way for a beautiful white chuppah. Avigail walked down the aisle to meet her Chosson (groom), as world renowned Israeli singer Gad Elbaz sang the popular wedding tune "Boi Kallah." The audience filled with excitement, and was visibly moved by the couple's ceremony. One Holocaust survivor that was watching even shared that this was the first time she had felt truly acknowledged.
Also watching on was Anna Kerzner, the SawYouatSinai matchmaker who made this shidduch (match). "It was such an incredible wedding, and an amazing experience watching them get married," she said proudly. It was Kerzner's wisdom and encouragement that convinced the couple to go out on a date, as they had initially been reluctant over language and cultural differences. "After a few dates," Avigail recalls, "I found that when you communicate on soul level, it's much deeper than a superficial language barrier."
Charni and Chazin, are just one of thousands of couples made by SawYouAtSinai. Their 350 matchmakers have helped 2700+ member worldwide, to find their bashert (soul mate). CEO and co-founder Marc Goldmann also attended the wedding ceremony. "Jewish continuity and creating new generations of Jewish families is our focus." he says, "It is an honor to be have been part of this match."
SawYouAtSinai was created in December 2003 to satisfy the need for a more private and personalized approach to online Jewish dating.

What Is Osteopathy? - go to homepage
what is osteopathy
history of osteopathy
Osteopathy in South Africa and Globally
Osteopathy Evidence and Research
Find an Osteopath
By Dr Guy Ashburner | July 1, 2008
What Is Osteopathy? The mechanical principles on which osteopathy are based are as old as the universe. (Dr Andrew Taylor Still, 1874)
Osteopathy is an established system of complete medical practice, diagnosis and treatment, as recognised by the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa and the British Medical Association. It is a 'hands-on therapy (no surgery, medication, tablets or gimmicks) that restores the normal structure of the musculoskeletal system, which in turn improves the function of the nervous, circulatory and immune systems and allows faster healing, reducing pain, congestion and restriction within the body. A diagnosis including an explanation of why dysfunction has occurred will always be made prior to treatment. Hands-on treatment ranges from very subtle techniques used for babies through to more robust techniques used for athletes. Most patients report receiving complete relief in two to three consultations.
Dr Andrew Taylor Still, an American medical doctor, surgeon, and architect founded osteopathy in 1874. In the Western world, Dr Still is widely considered the first physician to treat each patient as a whole, while searching for the cause of dysfunction rather than treating the symptoms.
Osteopathy is not the same as chiropractic or physiotherapy. Osteopaths take into account not only physical symptoms, but also the patients lifestyle and attitudes, as well as his or her overall health, effectively treating the patient as a whole.
The osteopath considers physical, environmental and stress factors simultaneously, whereas the general medical practitioner would usually treat these factors individually and in isolation from each other.
It's a medical practice based on a drug-free non-invasive manual therapy. As an approach to healthcare, it emphasises the role of the musculoskeletal system in the maintenance of optimal health and the prevention and treatment of illness. It is underpinned by a philosophy of the body as an interrelated unit of structure and function. Alteration in the structure of the body leads to reduced or impaired function in its organs and tissues. Compensation gradually builds up until the body is unable to accommodate more change, at which time it may break down at the weakest part, even after something quite trivial.
Osteopaths therefore focus on manual techniques to balance all the systems of the body, rather than focus on isolated problem areas. These therapeutic interventions facilitate the patient's inherent recuperative powers.
Osteopathy in Practice
Osteopathy is a 'hands on' manual therapy which takes into account a patient's personal and medical history. In combination with dietary, postural and occupational advice as well as counselling, it is a practical and effective treatment for the treatment of a range of illnesses and injuries and also assists in the ongoing management of pain and disease.
By paying attention to the significance of any change in structure or function (the joints, muscles, ligaments, bones and connective tissue) an osteopath is able to interpret whole patterns of aches, pains and general health problems.
Headaches, for example, are the final symptom of lower back or foot related problems. An osteopath therefore will find and treat the underlying cause of the problem rather than treat the symptoms of a problem with drugs and medication.
The information on this website will give you an idea of the range of problems we can help with. Osteopathy may be able to help you, and we will always work with you in partnership, discussing our suggested options for treatment or referral. We work with your GP to make sure that safety is a top priority. Please be clear that Osteopathy is not offered as a cure for any condition. We help your body to work at it's best, helping it's own healing to have the best chance.
'HANDS-ON' MANUAL THERAPY
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that doesn't simply look at presenting symptoms. Osteopaths believe that symptoms often hide the underlying cause of disease.
By paying attention to the significance of any alteration in structure or function (the joints, muscles, ligaments, bones and connective tissue), an osteopath is able to interpret whole patterns of aches, pains and general health problems.
Alteration in the structure of the body leads to reduced or impaired function in the organs and tissues. Compensation gradually builds up until the body is unable to accommodate more change, at which time it may break down at the weakest part - even as a result of something quite trivial.
Headaches, for example, could be the final symptom of lower-back or foot-related problems of which the patient may not even be aware. Osteopathic patients benefit because the underlying cause of the problem is treated.
Osteopathic treatment can improve many parts of the body by restoring normal movement in areas that have become dysfunctional. This allows for the restoration of normal function and enables the tissues to repair themselves more naturally.
While immediate pain relief is an important consideration, the aim of osteopathy is to get patients well and to keep them well. Therefore, depending on the needs of the patient, treatment may be used in conjunction with other treatment methods such as medication, surgery, and X-rays.
HOW IS OSTEOPATHY APPLIED?
The aim of osteopathy is to correct problems in the body frame, making it easier for the body to function normally and reducing the chance of problems occurring in the future.
In seeking to maintain good health and prevent future problems, the osteopath's plan may include advice on posture, diet, lifestyle and stress. While 'biomechanics has become one of the most rapidly developing areas of medicine in recent years, osteopathy was one of the first professions to incorporate biomechanical analysis of how injuries occur and what the secondary effects are likely to be.
To take a simple example: if you go to an osteopath with a knee injury, the osteopath will do much more than just examine and treat your knee. S/he will want to know exactly how the injury occurred in order to assess not just which tissues in the knee are injured, but also whether there may be involvement of other areas with a mechanical relationship to the knee, such as the foot, hip, lower back and pelvis, and the associated soft tissues.
CONDITIONS IT CAN HELP
Osteopathy can be helpful in the management of: acute and chronic pain, back and neck pain, joint pain and stiffness, headaches and migraine, knee, hip and ankle arthritic pain, muscle ache/pain/spasm/cramps/stiffness, sciatica, lumbago, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatic pain, pins and needles, numbness, trapped nerves, neuralgia, and bursitis.
Other problems: asthma and chest complaints, period pain, congested sinuses/sinusitis, circulatory problems, stress and fatigue, digestive disorders.
Common trauma/injuries: postural/occupational strain, lifting strains, whiplash/car injuries, spinal disc injuries, repetitive strain injury.
Baby/child problems: newborn checkup, ear infections/glue ear, infantile colic, behavioural problems, aches and pains, asthma/chest infections.
Discomforts of pregnancy: aches and pains, heartburn, breathing difficulties.
OSTEOPATHY AND PREGNANCY
Osteopathy is a perfectly safe form of physical therapy that can benefit women during all the different stages of pregnancy. It can be applied in the following ways before, during and after birth.
Aches and pains are common during pregnancy, as the body changes shape to accommodate the increasing size and weight of the uterus. This involves considerable changes to posture.
If you have existing back problems or strains in your body from past accidents or trauma, it may be more difficult for you to accommodate these changes, and you may suffer from discomfort as a result.
Furthermore, the ligaments of the whole body soften during pregnancy due to the action of hormones. This allows the bones of the pelvis to separate slightly during the delivery to facilitate the passage of your babys head through the pelvis. Unfortunately, this softening affects your whole body and makes it more vulnerable to strain during pregnancy.
Poor posture may cause backache, neck ache, headaches, aching legs and undue fatigue.
Osteopathic treatment is helpful in assisting your body to make postural changes. It can also help to make your pregnancy more comfortable.
Preparation for labour
An important part of preparation for childbirth is to ensure that your pelvis is structurally balanced and able to allow the passage of your baby down the birth canal.
Trauma to the pelvic bones, coccyx or sacrum at any time in your life can leave increased tension in the muscles and strain within the ligaments and bones of the pelvis. This can limit the ability of these bones to adjust during labour, and thus limit the size of the pelvic outlet.
Osteopathic treatment is extremely effective in releasing old strains within the pelvis, thus giving the best chance of an easy and uncomplicated labour.
In most cases, osteopathic treatment to ensure that the pelvis and uterus are correctly balanced and aligned can help with discomforts of later pregnancy, and can often help your baby to turn into a better position.
Treatment after birth
Birth can be traumatic for mother and baby. However, osteopathy can be effective in helping you both to recover.
Your pelvis is vulnerable to lasting strains from the forces involved, particularly after a difficult delivery. Some of these strains can have a profound effect on your nervous system, and may contribute to postnatal depression.
After giving birth, your body not only has to recover from the changes it made during pregnancy, but also from the effects of delivery - all this while doing the very physically and mentally demanding job of caring for your new baby.
Caring for a baby can place enormous strain on the back during such activities as nursing in poor positions, lifting car seats (especially in and out of the car), reaching over the cot, or carrying your child on one hip.
Furthermore, unresolved childbirth stresses can contribute to ongoing back problems, period problems, stress incontinence, constipation, headache and more.
Osteopathic treatment can help you to return to physical and mental health after birth by releasing strains from both pregnancy and labour. This will allow you to relax and enjoy your new baby.
It can provide relief from lower back and leg pain, neck and shoulder pain, discomforts around the thorax, indigestion, wrist pain, and postnatal problems of the pelvis.
Your baby can also suffer long-lasting effects from the moulding process during birth, and an osteopathic check-up is recommended.
Osteopathy is a hands-on holistic therapy that considers all aspects of a patients history and examination. The clinical diagnostic conclusion which is vital prior to treatment ensures a natural, safe and very effective solution as well as minimising the number of treatments required. This allows patients to return to health quickly and to be well informed on how to manage their health now and in the future.

I wanted to give a testimony of a couple dreams the Lord game me within the past year-and-a-half concerning my belief that the end times are coming soon.
The first dream came about a year-and-a-half ago. I never waver in my belief in The Lord (not that I never waver in obedience), but I was really struggling with unbelief about some end-times prophecy I was hearing from people and seeing online, some even from UBM (I was just a casual listener then). Might I also add that I was not raised to be a Christian nor in church and, if anything, the beliefs I was taught were more agnostic than anything. My father, being a science-minded person who graduated with a degree in science, didn't push any beliefs on me, but being a young boy, I think I unknowingly adopted his beliefs and carried them with me longer than I knew or wanted to. That is, until the Lord changed my life.
Anyway, I think I was still getting rid of the last of those remnants of the old Brandon. I began my real walk with the Lord a few years ago, so my faith in Jesus was as strong then as it is now. But I had trouble with the skepticism inside of me. Well, I took it to the Lord for the first time, asking Him before bed to please give me a dream to show me it is true, that tribulation is coming very soon. Well, I got one. It was a year ago and I didn't write it down, but in the dream I remember I found a card with a number on it. So when I awoke I decided to see what page in the Bible it was and, sure enough, it was page 753 in my Bible, which includes Revelation 11:1-2, which speaks about the tribulation (I'll explain the significance of that in a moment). He gave me what I wanted, so I was at peace for the time being.
Four or five months later, I got some more unbelief on me, as I was hearing more and more specific and amazing prophecies about the rapidly-approaching tribulation; by the way, all these things I have heard were from very credible sources, including UBM. Once again, I became troubled by the fact that I was skeptical about them. Honestly, all I wanted was to just believe. I wished I hadn't ever had doubts, but I did. So I went to the Lord again, although a little more reluctantly this time, for He already showed me once and I didn't want to fall out of His favor. I asked Him, once again, to please give me one more confirmation that I can believe these things. And I had another very powerful dream, in which I was sitting in my bedroom as a child and got the urge to go look at a Bible which was on my sleeping mother's nightstand. I crept in there quietly to get it and saw she was sleeping, so I went over and got the Bible. In the dream, I didn't even know why I wanted to look at it -- I just did. I opened the front cover and it read, "Revelation 11:1-2". So in the dream I opened to this scripture and it is in the exact scripture text which gives the time period for the tribulation: 42 months or 1260 days. Right before I woke up, I heard a voice speak to me, a unrecognizable male voice. It said, "Do not ask me this again".
I woke up very shaken but happy and filled with praise for the Lord for giving me this second confirmation. Might I also add that those are the only two times I have ever asked the Lord to show me proof that the end times are approaching and He answered both times. I was already very satisfied in my answer but I decided to go ahead and see what was in Revelation 11:1-2. A double surprise! Not only did it mention specifically the time period of the tribulation but it was on the same page -- 753 -- as the other dream had me go to! Praise God!
In closing, I hope and pray that any unbelief that may come upon me that God strikes it down. (This is part of leaving the flesh on the altar to burn up; we are to cast down fleshly imaginations that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God.) I am still working on improving my walk with God. I have made some bad choices in the past but He is working very quickly in me lately and I praise Him for that because now I know that time is short. I hope and pray that I might have a chance to become a disciple of Jesus Christ before time is up. God Bless.
