Omicron driving record rate of Covid infection in South African province
The pace of Covid infections in the South African province of Gauteng is outstripping anything seen in previous waves, and officials say Omicron is now the dominant variant.
Angelique Coetzee, the chair of the South African Medical Association, said Omicron's R number, measuring its ability to spread, was believed to be above 6. The R number for Delta, the dominant variant globally, ~이다 estimated to be above 5.
Speaking to the BBC's PM programme, Coetzee said: "We know currently that the virus is transmissible. According to the scientists, the R value is 6.3, I think."
The chief scientist at the World Health Organization (WHO) urged people not to panic, saying it was impossible to predict whether Omicron would become the dominant variant worldwide.
Soumya Swaminathan said South Africa's experience showed that Omicron "was highly transmissible", but added: "How worried should we be? We need to be prepared and cautious, 당황하지 않음, because we're in a different situation to a year ago. Delta accounts for 99% of infections around the world. This variant would have to be more transmissible to outcompete and become dominant worldwide. It is possible, but it's not possible to predict."
In Gauteng, a populous province that includes Johannesburg and is the centre of the outbreak, public health officials say case positivity rates have climbed from 2% in mid-November to 24% 이번 주.
하나, most of the cases seen in the province so far, including by Coetzee, have been described as mild and are in younger patients, who make up a significantly greater proportion of the country's unvaccinated.
Prof Bruce Mellado, who advises the provincial government, told the Daily Maverick that health officials had seen such a rapid increase in cases in Gauteng over the past few weeks that they had had to recalibrate their projection models. The increase was at a rate not seen before, 그는 말했다, not even in the third wave, which Mellado described as a "very serious situation".
Other officials in the province described a 20% rise in the seven-day rolling average of daily Covid cases, and increasing hospital admissions, driven by Omicron.
먼저 보고 by South African scientists to the WHO on 24 십일월, Omicron has prompted some countries to shut their borders, reimpose travel restrictions and ramp up vaccination programmes.
Among the concerns is whether Omicron might be infecting infants with more severe disease than previous variants, after a rise in admissions of under-fives to some hospitals.
At a news conference on Friday, Waasila Jassat, of the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, 말했다: "We've seen quite a sharp increase [in hospitalisations] across all age groups, particularly in the under-fives. The incidence in those under-fives is now second highest, and second only to the incidence in those over 60."
하나, the number of infant cases remains relatively small and it is unclear how many of those hospitalisations were due to Omicron.
Despite a rise in virus-related hospital admissions in South Africa, deaths appear to be increasing at a lower rate than during the country's third wave of Covid. This was underlined by a statement from the WHO on Friday saying it had yet to see any reports of deaths related to Omicron.
Amid increasing evidence that current vaccines are likely to offer a high level of protection against serious disease from the variant, the chief executive of Germany's BioNTech said it should be able to adapt its vaccine relatively quickly in response to Omicron.
Uğur Şahin told the Reuters Next conference on Friday that vaccines should continue to provide protection against severe disease despite mutations. "This variant might be able to infect vaccinated people. We anticipate that infected people who have been vaccinated will still be protected against severe disease," Şahin said.
He said mutations in the virus meant it was more likely that annual vaccinations would become the norm, as is the case with seasonal flu, and that new vaccines would be needed, although it was not yet clear when.
The WHO called on makers of Covid vaccines to gear up for the likelihood of needing to adjust their products to protect against Omicron.

The Women's Institute
By Marguerite Bell
The Women's Institute movement has its origins in Canada in 1897. The first WIs in Britain were formed in 1915 to revitalise rural communities and encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Since then the movement has grown and the aims of the organisation have broadened.
Display about the WI' campaigning activities and a pressed flower exhibit
Mickleton Women's Institute was formed in October 1927 and by the end of twelve months had a membership of 109. Each meeting began with the singing of Jerusalem, had a social time and an educational lecture. The Institute was part of the Gloucestershire Federation of Women's Institutes (GFWI) which enabled members to take part in county wide activities.
Old People's Party in the 1950s
Every year Mickleton members organized an egg collection for local hospitals, and magazines were collected regularly for them. From 1947-1952 an Old People's Party was arranged and every year before the Second World War the WI organised teas for the Flower Show run by the British Legion. The Sports Clubs' Fetes saw the WI on tea duty again! For many years it was the backbone of village social life with members serving on village committees and supporting fund raising for many worthy causes.
From the late 1950s GFWI organised a variety of competitions for institutes to enter. Mickleton WI slide collection and Village Book were borne out of these and it is the work of the members at that time that can be seen in these Archives.
Sadly, the institute closed in 2008. The WI movement celebrates its centenary in 2015 and it would be nice to think that one day Mickleton will have its own WI again.

Q: What is the logic behind finding the minimum value of an absolute value function? Say if you want to find the minimum value of $A$ where:
$$A=|x-2|+|x+3|+|x-6|$$
How would you solve it and what is the logic?
I read that I should set each absolute value to $0$. And substitute each $x$ value. The smallest value of $A$ based on that is the answer.
I don't really get why I should set each absolute value to $0$. Why would that help me get the smallest value of $A$?

A: The main idea here is to narrow the solution to problem down to a small, finite set of cases, and then just check each case in turn.
The graph of this function consists of a finite number of straight lines; if this function does* have a minimum, then the minimum has to happen at one of the corners joining the straight lines. The corners of the graph are precisely the points where the individual absolute value terms change direction: i.e. where they are zero.
*: an example of a similar function that doesn't have a minimum is $f(x) = |x| - 2|x-1|$

A: If you plot out the curve, we can see that the curve is a convex piecewise linear function with kinks at those values. That is the subgradient changes at those points.
Remark:
An alternative way to do this quicker is to note that this is just measuring the sum of distance of $x$ from the points $2$, $-3$ and $6$. It can be proven that the optimal solution  is at the median. In this case, the median is $2$ and $2$ would minimize $A$.
subgradient of $|x|$ would be $sign(x)$.
Let's consider what happens when $x \notin \{2, -3, 6 \}.$
When $x < -3$, the subgradient would be $(-1)+(-1)+(-1)=-3<0$, hence it is decreasing.
When $ x \in (-3,2)$, the subgradient would be $1 + (-1)+(-1) = -1<0$, hence it is still decreasing.
when $x \in (2,6)$, the subgradient would be $1+1+(-1)=1 > 0$, hence it is increasing.
when $x > 6$, the subgradient is $1+1+1=3 >0$ and it is increasing.
We can see that the slope changes from negative to positive at the median where there are equal number of kinks of the left and equal number of kinks on the right.

While its been more than fifteen years since their hit, "Sell-Out", hit the airwaves, Reel Big Fish continues to pack venues across the country each year. The ska-punk rockers who helped define the So-Cal ska scene in the late-90s have been rockin' out for nearly two decades and show no signs of slowing down.
Frontman Aaron Barrett formed the ska-infused band in Huntington Beach in 1992. After releasing a demo that year, the band self-released their debut album, Everything Sucks, in 1995 on Piss Off Records. The album was a success for an independently released debut and reached #106 on the Billboard 200. The effort brought Reel Big Fish a record deal with Mojo Records who released their sophomore album, Turn the Radio Off, in 1996. Reel Big Fish tour dates were scheduled around the US and they were largely hailed for bringing Ska music to new audiences nationwide. Their signature single, "Sell Out" became a hit on MTV and on radio, reaching the top ten on Billboard's modern rock format. They released their third album, Why Do They Rock So Hard? and they recorded a cover of "Take On Me" in 1998, when the song and the band appeared in BASEketball. Following a promotional tour, Reel Big Fish's original line-up ended and Barrett searched for new members.
After a four year absence, Reel Big Fish released Cheer Up!, and they scored another hit with "Where have You Been". Reel Big Fish tour dates were scheduled in smaller venues nationally and they maintained a hectic touring schedule in their So-Cal home to play to their loyal fans. They released the concert DVD The Show Must Go Off! in 2003 before releasing their fourth album, We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy, showcasing their sense of humor. Reel Big Fish embarked on a tour throughout 2006 and were subsequently dropped from their label and started their own imprint. In 2007, they released their first independent album, Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free. Reel Big Fish tour dates were scheduled on Warped Tour 2008 and they worked on new material for their next album.
In 2011, they released A Best of Us for the Rest of Us, which was an acoustic album of re-recorded material. In January, the band announced that they will embark on a 20th Anniversary Reel Big Fish Tour which has the band traversing the nation. They are ska legends in their own right and will be playing shows for years to come.

The Sandbox Global Summit
Published: Monday, 23 January 2012
How to create a Sandbox Global Summit
Carefully select over 4 years, a group of 650 under-30 year-olds from around the world and cultivate relationships between the membership through regular dinners based in cities all over the world, and daily online interactions. Idea exchange, contact and company introductions, couch surfing, topical debates, and international friendships all result.
These 650 people have never congregated before, so encourage and cultivate these regional dinners and virtual interactions so that they grow healthily, and watch as the links between individuals become stronger.
Then BAM!!!!! bring together 200 Sandboxers and other young, and Sandbox-type guests in the one place! Encourage them all to give 72 hours out of their busy schedules to spend time with each other during well-organised activities in amazing venues… and you get the Sandbox Global Summit.
The people are just amazing. In my day-to-day life, I don't tell most people that I intend to start a company after I graduate from university because they look at me like I should attend a Careers 101 Course. I usually tell people that I intend to travel for a year after university to appease them.
Not this lot of people though. They don't even bat an eyelid. Everyone there wants to change the world. The conversations there tend to be more along the lines of,
Person A: "One of the things I'm working on is…"
Person B: Parallel idea/ know of a similar organisation/ running an organisation going through the same challenges/ know of relevant contacts/ other relevant experiences or expertise, etc.
And the conversation turns into a huge snowball of amazing ideas and possible action steps!
The best thing though, was that everyone there was just so approachable and down-to-earth, belying their incredible achievements. It was very refreshing and inspiring to meet so many young people who are so comfortable in their skin.
The venues
The main venue MUDE resides in a beautiful mall in Portugal.
As soon as you step out of the front doors of MUDE and look to the left, you see the sun smiling on a glistering wide river framed in a grand archway on the top and sides, and a colonial cobblestones walkway. Just gorgeous.
Inside the venue were beautifully, custom-designed and hand-crafted cardboard furniture and decor. Yes, cardboard! It was edgy, young and looked amazing, which helped set the tone of the event - funky, fresh, innovative, arty, a place for creators and high quality.
As well as that, we had dinner in some places of great character - a museum, a circus, a hall where traditional Portugese music was played and even a reconverted pharmacy!
All participants were encouraged to curate their own sessions. This led to 72 sessions over 5 time slots and a lot of devastation on the part of the participants. How do you choose between sessions like "An Autopsy of Failure", "Cold Reading, Fortune Telling, and Social Engineering - How you are manipulated every day and how you can use it for your own goals", "Virtual World Vs Concrete World, How can we make change happen?" and "How can we predict the future using public information on the internet?", which were all on at the same time (as well as another 10 similarly interesting sessions)?
We were encouraged to make the sessions collaborative discussions, which meant that we could create amazing new friendships and conversations that could be continued way after the sessions were over. This bottom-up approach really maximised the expertise of all the participants and fostered amazing conversations.
When we were welcomed at the airport at the start of the summit, we were handed a letter written by Nico Luchsinger, the CEO of Sandbox, which emphasised that Sandbox wasn't just a network, it was a family.
Having met 200 Sandboxers who were welcoming, encouraging, and shared the same DNA strand of wanting to change the world and doing something about it, I'm glad I've finally met the family in person.
What I got out of it
New collaborations and friends! I will definitely be Skyping with John from Dublin about making Melbourne into an entrepreneurial hub. I will definitely be in touch with Kat from Teach for America for them to speak at our Robogals SINE (Seminars Inducting New Executive committees) in California at the end of February. I will definitely be in touch with Tomas from Prague to find out how the company he's working with, a nanotechnology company that does innovative work in bandage technology, is going. I will definitely be in touch with Robin from Switzerland about starting up a Robogals chapter in Zurich. I will definitely swap notes with Evan from New York about the book he's writing to teach kids business skills and entrepreneurship. I will definitely be in touch with Gwen from Singapore to form strong links throughout the Asia Pacific. And I will definitely be following up with Philip from San Francisco to stay at his house for a week in February. :)
The result of putting like-minded people in the same place and seeing what happens, can sometimes result in magic. The Sandbox Global Summit is one of those places where magic was created.
The inaugural Sandbox Global Summit was held in Lisboa, Portugal on 20-22 January 2012. 200 Sandboxers and guests from all over the world attended.

God's family (that includes us!) is all connected. And sometimes it's messy. But we need to learn our story. Not facts, but rather our family story. Because at the heart of that story is our God." Perhaps "sometimes it's messy" should be in BOLD, and a larger font, with a few exclamation points on the end!

SHRG combines enthusiastic independent sales representatives with its creative brand strategy to create success in the growing industry. A recent article discussing the company reads, "As a burgeoning market, the direct-sales industry has seen tremendous growth in recent years. A record 20.5 million people were involved in direct selling in the United States during 2016, signifying a 1.5% increase from the previous year. Similarly, the estimated direct retail sales of $35.54 billion in 2016 was the second highest in direct-selling history, and these numbers continue to grow. . . . The future of direct sales looks bright and is on the brink of a transformational moment, according to the Direct Selling Association. 'It seems clear . . . that our business model is poised to make the next big jump into the future,' Joseph Mariano wrote on behalf of the association. With much of the consumer population shifting to online shopping, direct sellers must stay abreast of industry changes and consider how technology is changing the face of direct selling. 'What our industry does during the coming months will shape our future,' Mariano noted (http://nnw.fm/7GqS3), indicating that direct-selling industry numbers 'are a strong indicator of where direct selling is and where we are going, and that clearly is the way forward.'"

Pentäsjärvi är en by som ligger vid en sjö med samma namn i södra delarna av Pajala kommun i Norrbottens län i svenska Tornedalen.

Sjön omnämns för första gången 1554 som fisketräsk tillhörigt birkarlen Henrik Staffansson (Pello) i Pello. Byn anlades 1756, då Lars Persson Parakka-Pentäsjärvi kom dit från Parakka.

Pentäsjärvi har en välbesökt badplats. Sjön tillhör Torne älvs avrinningsområde. Ån Pentäsjoki börjar i Pentäsjärvi och mynnar i Torne älv i Neistenkangas. Fram till 1950-talets slut var ån en viktig flottningsled. För att ån skulle fungera som sådan byggdes det dammar och rensades bottnar i den. Tillsammans med ett intensivt skogsbruk som inbegrep skogsdikningar påverkade det fiskreproduktionen negativt. Sedan något år pågår en restaurering av ån med målet att förbättra miljön, framförallt lekbottnar, för fisk som öring och harr. Samtidigt har tillgängligheten till ån förbättrats genom att en vandrings-, och skoterled dragits och rastplatser och övernattningsstugor byggts längs ån. Vid Pentäsjoki, och de låglänta myrområdena i anslutning till dessa, finns rikligt av den i Sverige sällsynta finnmyrten. Det är Tornedalens regionsblomma. Växten har cirkumpolär spridning och finns i Sverige, förutom på några enstaka lokaler i Norrbottens skärgård, enbart i Tornedalen.
By- och sjönamnet har flera  alternativa uttal och skrivs i gamla handlingar på olika sätt, såsom Pentesjärvi, Pentehjärvi, Pentasjärvi och Pentisjärvi.

Japanese Masters Touring Side Playing Evergreens Barbarlian Selection Sunday May 12th 2013 Brockton.
The touring party is called the WAK SUN from Japan. The team consists of WAK WAK, FUWAKU, GIFUWAK and WAKSEN, featuring two teams. One team of over 70's team (with over 21 players in the visiting party) and an over 60's team (with 20 players in the visiting party).
It is proposed to have two separate games and hope is to arrange for senior and super senior games.
Message from Club President regarding our upcoming busy month of May - Lots of Rugby in Store!
This coming May is going to be very busy but very good for the club so I want to give all of you fair notice of the events to come.
1. Sunday, May 12th – visiting Japanese team Wak Sun will be playing over 60's and over 70's on the day. This has been thrown open to the league in an effort to attract enough older rugby players to put together both games in some form. It will also be a full day of entertainment, eating and re-connecting with good Japanese friends.
2. May 22nd – 25th – St Louis Rich (Rich Etzkorn) is planning on bringing up two teams of players for their 80th club celebration. Both a young competitive side and a Masters side. Now we would likely play on the Thursday, 23rd against Rich's Old Boys team and I will look to organise a young buck's game against maybe the Rowers, depending on come aspirations etc. at that time of the year. They will probably combine with us for the May 25th Legends 40th celebration World International festival of Rugby.
3. Saturday, May 25th – Legends 40th anniversary and a World International Festival of Rugby.
Re: The passing of Niall Sweeney _Evergreen R.I.P.
I too was saddened to see the posting re Sweeney. When I started golfing some dozen years ago Niall was one of the players who was active and was very supportive to a new hacker in the group. He was a very nice man, a gentleman, with a great sense of humor. Always with helpful and uplifting with comments on a golf swing, but only if asked. I particularly enjoyed his MC'ing of our dinners where various prizes were awarded with a running commentary from Niall, all of it funny and some of it of course rude.
I joined the Evergreens in the Fall of 1973 and toured with them to Japan in 1974,78 and again in 1982 When I joined the Club was known as the OldStylers and later the Whoi-Whois. Bad knees and an aging body resulted in my rugby retirement in 1982.
I worked in the BC Corrections Branch (Probation) for 34 years retiring to Roberts Creek in 1988.
I have wonderful memories of my time with the Evergreens and well remember Graham, John Smith, Tom Taylor, Rolie, Gary Fumano , Jack Ford and many others.
Reading Neil Sweeny's obituary brought back great memories of my time with the Evergreens.
A neighbour and friend of mine (Vern Loffstrom --also an Evergreen) meet regularly and perhaps one day we can come in to one of your Social Events or even to watch a game. I won't bring along my togs as my aging body and advancing years wouldn't permit that.
Feel free to use this club message board if you have a message you wish to share with your fellow Evergreens. It doesn't matter if it's some timely advice, an apartment for rent or something you've got for sale (car, boat, house etc) just contact tomosullivan@hotmail.com and he will post your message for you.

Q: Можно ли аргументом функции определить родительский класс, а в теле функции использовать один из дочерних? Есть класс ClassBase и 2 его дочерних ClassChild1, ClassChild2.
Нужно нечто подобное:
foo(ClassBase elem){
    // тут работать с объектом одного из дочерних
}

На ум приходят шаблоны, но не могу понять как реализовать это.

A: Во-первых, в таких случаях следует использовать передачу по ссылке, иначе вы столкнетесь со срезкой, если и когда вместо родительского объекта будете передавать дочерний.
Использовать-то дочерний класс можно, только надо использовать приведение dynamic_cast, если не хотите неприятностей. Только он обеспечивает безопасное приведение (или указывает, что оно невозможно).

Примерно так. При использовании ссылок надо перехватывать исключение bad_cast.
Этим ответ исчерпывается.
А теперь давайте просто подумаем — зачем? Если вы передаете в функцию родительский класс, значит, вы как бы заключаете контракт — при передаче такого объекта родительского класса все будет отлично работать. И если вы действительно передадите объект такого класса, то в нем же просто нет функциональности дочернего класса?
Скорее всего, вы просто "затыкаете" какую-то возникшую дыру, вместо того, чтобы пересмотреть саму конструкцию, проект. Применение такого приведения родителя к ребенку в большинстве случаев признак какой-то недодуманности. Просто подумайте, нет ли иного пути решения вашей проблемы.
