Poutyvl (en ) ou Poutivl (en ) est une ville de l'oblast de Soumy, en Ukraine. Sa population s'élevait à  habitants en 2022.

Géographie
Poutyvl est située à  à l'est de Konotop, à  au nord-ouest de Soumy et à  au nord-est de Kiev.

Histoire

Une des cités originales de Sévérie, Poutyvl est mentionnée pour la première fois en 1146 comme une importante forteresse disputée par les principautés de Tchernigov et de Novgorod-Severski de la Russie kiévienne. Le chant de Iaroslavna sur les murs de Poutyvl est le point culminant du poème épique médiéval Le Dit de la campagne d'Igor ainsi que de l'opéra d'Alexandre Borodine, Le Prince Igor. Après la bataille de la Vedrocha, en 1500, Poutyvl fut cédée au grand-duché de Moscou. Pendant l'époque troublée de l'Interrègne (1598-1613), elle devint le centre de la révolte d'Ivan Bolotnikov et brièvement une base des troupes de Dimitri II. Avant la révolution russe de 1917, Poutyvl faisait partie du gouvernement de Koursk. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les partisans soviétiques, conduits par Sydir Kovpak, chef de l'administration de Poutyvl, commencèrent leurs activités de guérilla contre les forces d'occupation allemandes dans les forêts du nord de l'Ukraine.

Jusqu'à la réforme de 2020, Poutyl était le centre administratif du raïon de Pouty, qui a été absorbé par la raïon de Konotop.

Le , la ville est prise par les forces armées de la fédération de Russie dans le cadre de leur invasion de l'Ukraine.

En , les forces ukrainiennes reprennent le contrôle de Poutyvl, à la suite du retrait des troupes russes de l'oblast de Soumy, dans le nord de l'Ukraine.

Preventing Medical Errors in Behavioral Health is a 2-hour online continuing education (CE) course that examines the ways in which clients can be harmed in mental health practice, and the many strategies for anticipating and avoiding such undesirable outcomes.
This course is intended to increase clinicians' awareness of the many types of errors that can occur within mental health practice, how such errors damage clients, and numerous ways they can be prevented. Its emphasis is on areas within mental health practice that carry the potential for "medical" errors. Examples include improper diagnosis; breaches of privacy and confidentiality; mandatory reporting requirements; managing dangerous clients; boundary violations and sexual misconduct; the informed consent process; and clinical and cultural competency. There are major new sections on psychotherapy in the digital age, including the use of social networking systems, the challenges of maintaining and transmitting electronic records, and engaging in the practice of teletherapy. *This course satisfies the medical errors requirement for license renewal of Florida mental health professionals.

Resources Reviews Iraq: A History
Iraq: A History
By John Robertson
2015, One World Publications, 978-1-85168-586-8, $35 hb.
Reviewed by Tom Verde on May 19, 2016
Iraq is a complicated place, culturally, demographically, ethically, historically. All the more reason(s) to welcome this broad study that gently leads the reader—like a museum guide—through the long, fabled halls of the country's rich, often-turbulent history. The story begins with Neolithic settlements in the land "between the rivers" (Tigris and Euphrates) which ultimately inspired its ancient name (Mesopotamia) and earliest civilizations, starting with Sumer, circa 6000 BCE. The author provides overviews of the various kingdoms that rose and fell there, with significant sections dedicated to Biblical Iraq (Babylon, Assyria), enduring struggles with neighboring Persia, and Iraq as the glorious "center of Islamic civilization" under the Abbasids (roughly 8th through the 10th centuries). After a bit of fast-forwarding through Turkish and Mongol invasions of the 11th through the 13th centuries, and the subsequent rise and rule of the Ottomans through the late 19th century, the last third of the book is devoted to the fitful emergence of Iraq as a modern state, blessed with oil and cursed with unstable and/or authoritarian governments. This is an informative and enjoyable primer on a nation that, after centuries, still commands global attention.

Sandin or Dermott?
By the way, saying BOTH is going to get you one of those raspy buzzer sounds like game shows play when the contestant says Peru is a city in Australia. That's Perth. Problem here is, they can't fit both their cap hits, and when Hyman's back, you need one of Holl or Marincin in the lineup in order to stay under the cap.
So do you keep Sandin in the NHL? He seems already ahead of Dermott, and is on a steep learning curve that could see him playing top four in a year or two. Dermott seems stuck as a bottom-pair defender with slick skating skills. Sandin also strikes me as a low-error guy, who stays calm, and makes the right play when it matters. His pass over to the bench works, as long as the notoriously ice-happy Leaf bench stays off the ice until it's time. Dermott gives the puck away too often.
Could Sandin be better with more time in the minors? Not if he's already at NHL speed. He needs to adjust to playing top-tier NHL players, and you don't see them much in the AHL. Remember the old adage that nobody ever became an all-star after spending a whole season in the AHL? Partly that was because most players were from the junior leagues, so they couldn't play in the AHL until they were 20, by which time if you're not NHL ready, you're not going to be an all-star. Sandin has a Euro-exemption from that rule. But he's advancing so quickly, you wonder what the value is.
After that decision is made, with both being lefties, you ask whether Marincin or Holl stays with the main club. My vote is Holl, even though Marincin is great with his stick, especially at blue lines. Marincin cracks under pressure, and coughs up the puck. Holl is a righty, and seems comfortable staying back where he belongs, or skating with it when needed. Thoughts?


Now that SLAS 2012 has wrapped up, the question is, amid all of those robotic arms, who truly stood out? We saw some great examples of vendors who were able to draw the crowds, while showcasing some pretty cool technology.
Here's a list of some great ways to get a scientist's attention, wonderfully demonstrated by three life science vendors at SLAS 2012.
Creativity counts. Rather than a bunch of cylinders and valves scattered about with some brochures on a table, Clippard center-staged an Air Guitar, rigged to be played. How does this awesome display work? Through 62 miniature air cylinders, and 58 valves to control those cylinders that can play each string individually or by strumming all six strings at once. "Playing songs that are impossible by the human hand," says Rob Clippard from Clippard Instrument Laboratory Inc.,"the controls are as up to date as the idea itself." The iPad app "Pianist" plays the song, sends it via midi protocol to a translator board, and tells the miniature pneumatic, low wattage Clippard valves to turn on and off at the right times and move the appropriate cylinder with 50 psi of air. Did you get all that? That's ok – the guitar is cool, the technology and idea are innovative and unique, and you can learn all about what they have to offer once you've been hooked. Here's a video of the Air Guitar in action.
Product? What Product? Though I have a soft spot in my heart for robotics and laboratory automation, as a recent defector from a Drug Discovery lab, even I can glaze over a bit after the 10th or 11th robotic arm display. But, I loved how Agilent showcased their nimble technology, by bringing a bit of Vegas to SLAS. The pull to stay at the booth was not only the cheering crowd encircling the game, but the fact that as soon as you step into the booth, you receive a poker chip. An invitation to have some fun, and no need to talk to a rep first? You got me. After hours of wandering the aisles a distraction is highly welcome. Odds that someone will remain in your booth for a bit are good at this point, and I did as soon as that chip hit my hand. Microtiter plates covered with playing cards lined the stacker. Agilent's Direct Drive Robotic arm swiftly dealt three people their hands of 21, amid cheering scientists waiting their turn. After the game, the robot dealer gave you a microtiter "card" that informed you of your prize. For the sake of some great word of mouth for Agilent, I hope that what happens at SLAS doesn't stay at SLAS…?
Tap into competition. Though a large sign announced Artel's Pipetting Olympics (grand prize iPad2!), what caught my eye as I strolled past, were scientists super – super – into pipetting. And a line of them waiting their turn. Pipetting? Ok, I knew it must be worth my wait – without even knowing what I was lining up for, I was there with bells on. All of this was to showcase their calibration and volume verification systems, which they did well. Scientists were excited, engaged, and most importantly, listening to the reps explain how the system works and how it can work for them.
We hope to see even more engaging tactics by vendors as they continue reaching out to all aspects of a scientist's interests. Thanks for a great conference and see you next year!


If you are facing eviction, you probably have a lot of questions. One of the most common questions consumers ask themselves during the eviction process is how their credit report will be impacted by an eviction.
Is your eviction reported to the credit bureaus?
Evictions themselves do not go directly on your credit report, but your credit report may be impacted in two different ways as the result of an eviction, regardless of if you won or lost a court hearing.
First, if you are past-due on payments, your landlord has the right to send your debts and contact information to an independent collection agency. While there are no legal outlines that say when your credit will be impacted, a delinquency or unpaid debt will be recorded on your credit report. A negative entry can remain on a persons credit score for seven years.
The other way an eviction could pop up on your credit report is through public records, which the credit bureaus use for their credit reports. If your eviction results in a civil judgment against you, the unpaid rent and court fees could be added onto your credit report.
However, note that the eviction will appear as a "Civil Judgement" on your credit report in this case. Never will a credit report say "Eviction" on it, even if your landlord took you to court and they have won.
Can I rent an apartment after an eviction?
Having an eviction in the form of a civil judgment or unpaid debt on your credit report will certainly limit your housing prospects. Almost all landlords will perform a credit check on a prospective tenant.
Even if the landlord or property management company cant tell that the debt on your credit report is "rent-related", they will still question your ability to pay rent. Although some landlords may not run a credit check, they will contract a tenant screening company when considering applicants.
Not only will your future housing prospects be extremely limited with an eviction on your credit report, but also your chances of finding an auto loan, personal loan, or even a mortgage. It is best to avoid eviction at all costs and the detrimental impact it can have on your credit report.
If you are facing an eviction, you probably have a lot of questions that need answers. If you are buried under a mountain of debt and ready for a fresh start, CrediReady can help.

Paying the National Minimum Wage & Living Wage
As an employer, you are legally obliged to pay a nanny aged 16 to 24 not less than the National Minimum Wage. At age 25, the higher National Living Wage applies. The gross hourly rates for this year (2020/2021) are:
£4.55 Age 16-17
£8.72 Age 25+
Calculating your nanny's hourly rate
To establish your nanny's gross hourly rate, you need to know the gross pay. Once you know the gross pay, you can divide it by the number of hours worked to arrive at the gross hourly rate.
In some cases, more than one rate will apply. The legislation is concerned with the total number of hours worked, and the total payment received; the average hourly rate must not be less than the statutory minimum.
If your nanny is required to look after the children overnight, only the waking hours count as working hours. Often these hours are rewarded by a lump sum overnight allowance rather than pay per waking hour. The average hourly rate for the week or month in question will be calculated using wages plus overnight allowance payments.
Live-in Nannies
If you provide accommodation, this is valued at a fixed amount of £57.40 per week. Gross pay + £57.40 divided by hours worked must not be less than the NMW. A live-in nanny may have long hours, but in practice regularly works less hours, because extra time off is awarded. Provided the employee is achieving National Minimum Wage on average across the pay period, all is well.
Family Member exemption
People who live as part of a family do not need to be paid the minimum or living wage. Living as part of the family means sharing in tasks, leisure activities and meals on the same basis as other family members. This means that the relationship must be one where the individual is in fact treated as a 'proxy-parent' or a 'big sister' rather than an employee. Most Au Pairs fall into this category.
Important Warning
It is important to recognise that the thrust of the legislation is to ensure that everyone receives at least the minimum wage. Tribunals frown heavily on any attempts to circumnavigate the legislation. In addition, the burden of proof lies with the employer, so to defend a claim, you would need to produce records to show the actual hours worked in relation to amounts paid per the payslip. It is good practice to record actual working hours every week, even if you do not intend to vary the payment.

Tess Holliday proudly owns her body — she did create #effyourbeautystandards, after all — but privately, the model deals with rude people trying to destroy her self-esteem.
Holliday, 33, said she gets messages on social media every day telling her to "drop dead" because of her size.
The mom of two said that along with therapy, she mutes people who bring her down, and occasionally deletes her social media apps.
Holliday said that people accuse her of "promoting obesity or recruiting people to be fat," which just makes her laugh.
But she doesn't see the point in dwelling on people's negative comments.
Still, Holliday said that she only recently started to love herself, and that modeling greatly improved her self-esteem.
"My life is only getting better," she added.

Have you been thinking about asking your boss for a raise? Now could be the time to ask, thanks to really low unemployment nationwide.
Employers across the country are struggling to fill open positions, because of the low employment rate.
"You have more bargaining power right now, and that's whether you are currently employed or whether you are looking for a new opportunity," says Andrew Murtagh, who works at the top staffing firm Robert Half.
Before you go and ask for more money, Murtagh says you need to ask yourself a question first.
"You got to understand what you are worth," he says. "Just because it is a hot market right now doesn't give you a hall pass to go around and start dictating what you want, because that may hurt you."
If you're not wanting to push the limits and ask for a raise, Murtagh says you can still ask for other perks.
"You can be very, very creative and the employer doesn't have to invest huge amounts of money to get a return," he says.
Maybe those perks include a parking spot right in front, a free meal once a week, or maybe flexible work hours so you don't have to sit in rush hour traffic.
Just remember, to know your worth.


The 2005 harvest was distinguished by the long hang time on the vines. The wine has completed fermentation and is ageing gracefully in French oak. According to Heidi Barrett, the 2005 harvest delivered some of the most 'lush fruit' she has ever worked with, producing a wine of power and elegance.
The '05 art is the work of talented American artist Wayne Thiebaud. Over the course of his 50-year career, Thiebaud has become one of the leading figures in the field of modern American art. He is best known for his still life paintings of everyday objects – particularly his thickly painted cakes and pies. His iconic images of food may have stemmed from his beginnings as a freelance cartoonist in 1939. Reflecting his fondness for fine foods, Mr. Thiebaud has created his own amuse-bouches to adorn our '05 vintage. His sensuous texture and warm, luminous palette remind us to seek out layers of texture and taste, to explore beyond the obvious and to revel in the complexity of fine food, wine and art.

Green Room Movie Review
Imogen Poots stars in Green Room
Green Room, Red Laces
Rotten Tomatoes Plot: Green Room is a brilliantly crafted and wickedly fun horror-thriller starring Patrick Stewart as a diabolical club owner who squares off against an unsuspecting but resilient young punk band. Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain't Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren't meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against the club's depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain't Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown. Intense, emotional, and ingeniously twisted, Green Room is genre filmmaking at its best and most original. Jeremy Saulnier continues to build his reputation as one of the most exciting and distinctive directors working today, with a movie that's completely different from his previous, highly acclaimed Blue Ruin, but which is just as risk-taking and even more full of twists. The entire cast deliver first-rate performances, but Patrick Stewart gives a transformative and brilliantly devious turn as Darcy-elegant yet lethal, droll yet terrifying, Stewart makes the film simply unforgettable. Stars Anton Yelchin & Imogen Poots.
Punk rock + white supremacists = trouble in Saulnier's Green Room, an overtly gruesome thriller that combines bad music, bits of humor and enough hatred/violence to make a PR rep scream out loud (inside joke.) It benefits from some star power (Yelchin, Poots & Stewart) but highbrow, it ain't. You will, however, learn a thing or two about life: Box cutters are very sharp, dogs aren't necessarily man's best friend and "We should split up," is really bad advice. Individually, Stewart shines (again) as a villain; but it's Poots, who steals the show with motley one-liners and surprising/lethal survival skills.

Sergio "Checo" Pérez is a Formula 1 driver for SportPesa Racing Point F1 team. The Mexican, born on January 26th 1990 in Guadalajara, is known for being one of the better drivers in the midfield.
Pérez has accumulated eight podiums during his career, despite never driving for a title-contending team.
Team Racing Point
Junior Perez
After a very successful career in karting and stints in series like Formula BMW and A1 Grand Prix, Pérez moved to Formula 3 in 2007.
He dominated the British Formula 3, winning the bulk of the races, and moved to the International Class, where he finished fourth aged 18.
Despite promoting to GP2 in 2008, it wasn't until 2010 that he broke through. Checo won five races and just missed out on the championship, only finishing behind Pastor Maldonado. Sauber took interest in the young Perez, who was just signed to the Ferrari Driver Academy, and announced Perez as a replacement for Nick Heidfeld.
Early F1 years and McLaren struggles
Making his debut at the 2011 Australian Grand Prix, Perez became the first Mexican F1 driver in 30 years. He impressively finished seventh before being disqualified for breaking the regulations.
Teammate Kamui Kobayashi outperformed Perez that season, which featured a heavy crash for Perez in Monaco which left him unable to race for two years.
The second round of the 2012 season was his best one by far. Perez found himself fighting with Fernando Alonso for the win at the Malaysian Grand Prix but eventually finished second; his best result in F1 by a mile up until that point, and Sauber's best result as an independent team.
The then 22-year-old added two more podiums later in the season, but also retired six times. He finished the season in 10th but was undeniably one of the best young drivers in the sport.
With Lewis Hamilton leaving for Mercedes, Perez was signed as the Brit's replacement, ending his ties to the Ferrari Driver Academy by doing so. However, he was never able to fill Hamilton's boots, as McLaren struggled massively in 2013, finishing fifth in the constructors' championship.
Perez ended the year in 12th, handsomely beaten by teammate Jenson Button in what was a disappointing season. The Mexican announced his departure from McLaren at the end of the year, and a month later, Force India announced his signing for the 2014 season.
Coming up with Force India
Partnering Nico Hülkenberg, Perez scored the Silverstone-based team's first podium since 2009 in Bahrain as he finished third. For the rest of the season, however, Hülkenberg was the stronger driver of the two, with the German's consistency proving the difference between the duo. The team finished sixth in the standings, right behind McLaren.
In the coming two years, Perez kept collecting podiums. He did so once in 2015 in Russia, and twice in the space of three races in 2016, as Force India finished 'best of the rest' in fourth place. He kept outperforming teammate Hülkenberg, who eventually left for Renault and was replaced by Esteban Ocon for the 2017 season.
Ocon and Perez often collided in 2017, with the team even having to forbid them from racing each other because of the amount of collisions they caused each other. However, they proved to be the best team in midfield yet again despite having the smallest budget in F1.
2018 saw Perez add an eighth podium to his CV in Azerbaijan as he finished third, but the year was dominated by the financial struggles of the team and owner Vijay Mallya. Perez eventually put the team into administration until it was taken over. Sahara Force India changed names to Racing Point Force India, therefore erasing all of their points. The team finished the season in seventh.
In 2019, Perez has a new teammate in Lance Stroll and a new team name in Racing Point.

Q: Implementing "ACKs" in TCL for use with DDE for my Thesis I need to connect a Head-Tracking sensor to an exisiting car simulator software. The car simulator is able to receive TCL commands via DDE and so far I have successfuly established a communication channel. The idea is to use the data from the sensor to adjust the current view on the simulator window.
The sensor data is processed with the help of a c++ application that also acts as DDE client and sends the command string to the DDE server (the simulator). Using an example from Microsoft (see here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279721/en-us) I'm sending the command string with the following line:
DdeClientTransaction((LPBYTE)hData, 0xFFFFFFFF, hConv, 0L, 0, XTYP_EXECUTE,
TIMEOUT_ASYNC, NULL);

The variable hData represent after some other function calls the string to transfer to the TCL interpreter on the simulator. The command string I'm sending recursively is exclusive to the simulator and looks as follows:
"Movie eval {dict set View(0:0) xrot %s; dict set View(0:0) yrot %s; dict set View(0:0) zrot %s;}"
In case you wonder %s are the placeholders for the yaw,pitch and roll of the headtracker.
Everything is working correctly. However I got the feeling that the TCL interpeter of the simulator is sometimes to slow and ends up hanging the whole simulator.
On the DDE side, the DdeClientTransaction-function returns a value whether the transaccion was successful/busy and I'm using this to avoid spamming the DDE server (simulator), so I suspect the issue is the TCL interpreter being to slow.
My question is now: Is there a TCL command I can add into my command string or another way to have the interpreter process the next received command via DDE once it's done with the previous one, and incase there are more commands queued up, just process the newest one?
I've noted that sending update;:
"Movie eval {dict set View(0:0) xrot %s; dict set View(0:0) yrot %s; dict set View(0:0) zrot %s; update;}"
is more stable, but I don't quite understand what it does.

A: What the update does is to process events immediately. It drains the event queue of everything that is currently there, keeping going until it would have to enter a wait state for the next event to come. (Internally, update is a thin wrapper round an API function called Tcl_DoOneEvent().)
It's usually not recommended. The issue is that if the event that caused the update to happen inside its processing script happens again, the update will fire again and you can easily end up with update inside update inside update inside … which will fill up the C-level stack fairly rapidly with all the calls to Tcl_DoOneEvent() which in turn — circuitously — calls back to Tcl_Eval()…
If things are feeling sluggish, that's usually a sign that your event handlers are taking too long to process. The best thing would be if you could shorten the amount of time that any handler runs for, and possibly also reduce the rate at which you're pushing events into the system. This will keep to a minimum the amount of time between when your little script runs and when the redraw in response happens.
But that might be quite hard to do. (I don't know; it depends on what else is going on, etc.)
Redraws typically happen in idle events, which are a special event queue that is only drained when Tcl_DoOneEvent() has nothing else to be doing. You can try forcing things along a bit with less possibility of catastrophe by changing the update to update idletasks, which will just drain the idle event queue. (NB: you can add things to the idle queue using after idle; most of the time you don't need to do that.) It won't handle redraws driven by outside events (such as iconification or window resizing) but that's often less important to handle rapidly.
I suppose you could try playing around with after idle, but I suspect that that is likely to be unsatisfactory to you. I only know of a few places where it makes any real sort of sense to use (and they're when you're doing low-level messing around with a widget implementation).

Understanding the biological processes of the soil is an important part of understanding how plants grow, but what are microbiology? and how does microbiology influence plant health and nutrition?
To answers these questions, let's turn to the life in soil.
Ca'Bon knows he's the boss, because the life in the soil Fun-Guy, Bach Terrier and Mike Robe all rely on him for air, water, food and shelter.
And in return they help him out by breaking down organic matter into carbon, binding soil particles together for stability and making nutrients available for the plants growing in the soil.
For a while now Ca'Bon knows he has been "going up in smoke" when the soil is bare, burnt, tilled or lots of fertiliser and chemicals are used. This negatively affects how well plants grow in the soil, because sometimes there's not enough Ca'Bon to go around.
Hugh is known as the 'Heavy Lifter' of the soil because his role in soil fertility far outweighs how much room he takes up. He is Ca' Bon's right hand man; without Hugh, Ca'Bon literally falls to pieces.
Plants like Hugh; he is a colloid so nutrients are attracted to him, making them easy for plants roots to access.
Like Ca'Bon, Hugh gives microbes a place to live and in return they decompose organic matter to make more Hugh (he's old so it takes a while).
Hugh protects his buddies and plant roots by buffering against toxicities like chemicals, fertilisers and excess salt.
Fun-Guy likes to party and make streamers. Ca' Bon calls them hyphae or filaments, and he doesn't mind because they improve soil structure.
Plants love Fun-Guy because he releases nutrients from organic matter and can extend their roots to reach far away nutrients and water.
Fun-Guy finds energy and carbon in tricky places, like stubble, dry matter and even wood; it's an important job because other microbes find it hard to do this.
A sensitive kind of guy, Fun-Guy populations diminish when it gets cold or the soil dries out, but he is affected longer-term by tillage, some chemicals and too much fertiliser.
Bach Terrier helps breakdown organic matter, releasing nutrients and he also helps Ca' Bon keep the soil in ship shape with room for lots of air and water.
Bach Terrier can degrade toxins, fix nitrogen, solubolise phosphorous, and help plants grow with hormones and fight diseases.
Tough guy, Bach Terrier takes top spot in the soil when Fun-Guy gets knocked around, especially when there is lots of nitrogen or soil disturbance.
Mike Robe is an all round good guy, but he's bigger than Bach Terrier and Fun-Guy. so he eats them!
Plants love this because when Mike Robe eats the team he releases nitrogen and other nutrients.
Sometimes Mike's nematodes get a bad wrap, but did you know the majority of nematodes in the soil are good guys and help control diseae and cycle nutrients.
Read more about how LawrieCo work with farms to balance the nutrition and biology (life in the soil) to help improve productivity and soil quality in a way that protects the farms greatest asset and importantly, increases the return on investment for farmers for years to come.
Talk to our team of experts to establish where your soil health is at.
In addition to farm observations, we use independent soil analysis and soil microbe testing to customise a nutrient and biological fertiliser plan to suit your farm outcomes.


The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the frequency, distribution of potential etiologies, and survival rates of maternal cardiopulmonary arrest during the hospitalization for delivery in the United States.
By using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample during the years 1998 through 2011, the authors obtained weighted estimates of the number of U.S. hospitalizations for delivery complicated by maternal cardiac arrest. Clinical and demographic risk factors, potential etiologies, and outcomes were identified and compared in women with and without cardiac arrest. The authors tested for temporal trends in the occurrence and survival associated with maternal arrest.
Cardiac arrest complicated 1 in 12,000 or 8.5 per 100,000 hospitalizations for delivery (99% CI, 7.7 to 9.3 per 100,000). The most common potential etiologies of arrest included hemorrhage, heart failure, amniotic fluid embolism, and sepsis. Among patients with cardiac arrest, 58.9% of patients (99% CI, 54.8 to 63.0%) survived to hospital discharge.
Approximately 1 in 12,000 hospitalizations for delivery is complicated by cardiac arrest, most frequently due to hemorrhage, heart failure, amniotic fluid embolism, or sepsis. Survival depends on the underlying etiology of arrest.

I have multiple worksheets in a workbook. When I use the workbookview I was wondering how I could disable any editing or moving of the cells. I don't want any direct changing of the text in cells or them to be deleted. Also I don't want the tabs for the worksheets to be renamable. Also is it possible to stop row and column resizing by user. Ultimately, what would be the best way to accomplish these goals?
At the moment header resizing cannot be turned off. We can add this for you if it is essential for your project.

The images below show the rates being offered by the banks and currency exchange houses ("Casa de Cambio" or "Cambio de Divisas" in Spanish) in the airport, all of which are within 30 meters of each other.
And below is the comparison of the rates for 7 currencies across 5 banks and currency exchange houses.
The secret about currency exchange revealed!
Suppose I was an unwary Japanese traveler in Mexico intending to trade my left-over MXN 2000 to JPY before returning home. Depending on the exchange rates offered, I could get as much as JPY 360 for my pesos or as low as JPY 280 (both, at the airport and within a 1-minute walking distance from each other).
Now assume I was a Brazilian who just landed in Mexico City intending to convert 2000 BRL to MXN. If I made the exchange at the airport without shopping around, I would have received either MXN 8000 (for the least competitive exchange rate) or MXN 10000 (for the best rate). This translates to a loss or disparity of MXN 2000, equivalent to a two-night stay at Mex Suites Casa Azúl, a quaint colonial-style bed and breakfast in Mexico city, or roughly 40 pieces of Tortas Been's tortas de pierna located at República del Salvador, or 20 shots of Rey Sol Extra-Aged Anejo Tequila at the historic La Opera bar and restaurant.
When you are planning for your next vacation of a lifetime, the last thing you want to worry about is getting a bad deal on your currency exchange. You just want to plan where you are going to visit, party and eat!

Last week, I ran down the current streaming cable options available, and ultimately landed on YouTube TV, which is not only the best streaming cable option, but it is actually much better than cable. It provides network television. It has a better interface. It's easier to navigate. The DVR service is substantially better, and Live TV and recorded shows are available on any device (Laptop, TV, Smart Phones), wherever you choose to watch (and it can be accessed by up to six users).
It genuinely is a much better product than cable. Less clutter, more efficient, easier to navigate, fewer commercials, more viewing options. It probably sounds like I'm a pitchman for YouTube TV now, but honestly, I just really like it. For someone who watches TV as much as I do, it's a life changer.
The one drawback to YouTube TV for some is that while it offered access to almost all of the important channels, they did not have agreements in place for the Turner Networks (TBS, TNT, CNN, TruTV, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, etc.). Starting today, that has officially changed (in fact, I just added a season pass for The Detour — took me all of 2 seconds).
However, YouTube TV will also raise the price from $35 to $40 a month.
It's worth it. There really is very little reason to have that cable box anymore, unless it's cheaper, which is a very real possibility for many, even with an expansive $40 cable package. The damn bundling gets you every time because while Internet service may only cost you $40 with cable, it might cost you $70 without cable, which would eat into all the savings you might get from switching from cable to YouTube TV. For me, the difference is marginally cheaper, but the product itself is much better, so even if I'm not saving much, I prefer YouTube TV to that goddamn cable box run by evil corporate overlords (as opposed to that streaming app run by a different set of evil corporate overlords).
It's also worth noting, for sports fans, that NBA All Access and MLB.TV will be added as options for an additional charge in the coming months.
I also believe that, if you sign up for YouTube TV now, you still get the $35 per month fee, which will be grandfathered in for existing users when the price hike takes effect.
Of course, even YouTube TV is probably only good for a few more years because cable television networks will probably be irrelevant by 2024.

Beach Volleyball Team Shuns Bikini for Hijab
AboutIslam & News Agencies
RIO DE JANEIRO – In a stark contrast to the revealing uniform worn by beach volleyball teams (i.e. bikinis for women), two Muslim players in the Egyptian team have shown a different pattern for their match against Germany, wearing long sleeves and long pants.
"I have worn the hijab for 10 years," Doaa Elghobashy said after the opening match versus Germany, AP reported on Monday, August 8.
"It doesn't keep me away from the things I love to do, and beach volleyball is one of them."
When the Egyptian women's beach volleyball team took to the sandy arena wearing long sleeves and leggings, it was a sharp contrast to the German team's revealing outfit.
Elghobashy and partner Nada Meawad qualified for the Summer Games through a regional competition designed to open the Olympic field to countries beyond the Brazilians, Americans and Europeans who dominate the international pro tour.
They were able to participate in the games after the international volleyball federation eased regulations before the London Games so as not to exclude cultures that might be turned off by the standard bikinis for women and boardshorts for men.
The diversity that appeared at the Copacabana venue on Sunday night was one of the goals of the new regulations allowing hijab.
"It was to open it up culturally," FIVB spokesman Richard Baker said on Sunday night as the Egyptians played in their opening match of the Rio Games.
"The goal was to allow more people to play the sport of volleyball."
Egypt had never qualified for either the men's or women's beach volleyball tournament at the Olympics.
"I'm proud to be seen raising the Egyptian flag in a carnival with so many nations," Elghobashy said.

Q: Notificações com SignalR Quero criar um sistema de notificações no meu web app (MVC) utilizando SignalR 2.
Quando alguém na app fizer uma determinada ação alguns usuários (não são todos e nem sempre são os mesmos) devem ser notificados. Algo parecido com o que temos aqui no SO quando alguém interage com uma pergunta.
Minha questão é a seguinte:
Qual seria uma melhor estratégia para enviar a mensagem para os clientes?
Devo armazenar em banco o connectionId e depois retornar este valor para quem deve ser notificado? Desta forma o banco de dados retornaria a lista de connectionId dos usuários que devem ser notificados após a ação.
Sou novo nisso e não sei como adaptar ao meu negócio.

A: Uma forma interessante de mandar uma notificação para usuários específicos, é utilizando grupos. Para cada tipo de notificação, você cria grupos para cada item e conecte os clientes necessários a esses grupos. Um exemplo simples:
public class MeuHub : Hub
{
    public Task EntraNoGrupo(string grupoId)
    {
        return Groups.Add(Context.ConnectionId, grupoId);
    }

    public Task SaiDoGrupo(string grupoId)
    {
        return Groups.Remove(Context.ConnectionId, grupoId);
    }

    public void NotificaGrupo(string grupoId, string mensagem)
    {
        Clients.Group(grupoId).algumMetodoNosClientes(mensagem);
    }

}

Para você conectar um client a um grupo, basta invocar o método EntraNoGrupo do seu cliente, passando o Id desse grupo:
hubProxy.invoke('EntraNoGrupo', '453841'); // o Id do grupo

Ou seja, o método EntraNoGrupo é só uma forma do cliente conseguir entrar em um grupo, sendo que esse método deve ser chamado em todos os clientes daquele grupo.

Para mais detalhes, leia na documentação sobre Grupos do SignalR.

Agora, sobre vincular uma connectionId a um usuário, existem algumas formas de você fazer isso, uma delas você inclusive já citou. Para decidir qual a mais adequada para o teu cenário, veja a tabela a seguir:

Está em inglês mas acredito que dê para entender.
Single-user Groups
Para o teu cenário em particular, a opção Single-user Groups já não é possível, pois ela sugere que você crie um grupo para cada usuário, no entanto isso retira a possibilidade de você notificar diferentes clientes em um mesmo grupo.
Em Memória
Esse é mais para notificações triviais e até mesmo para quem está começando apenas ver como funciona. Ele atrapalha escalabilidade, pois por persistir tudo na memória do servidor, se você tiver um ambiente de farm, cada servidor tem sua própria memória, e daí podemos ter problemas. Pode ser que nem seja teu caso no momento, mas é interessante sempre construir as coisas pensando no futuro (sua aplicação pode crescer).
UserID Provider
Esse aqui é parecido com o "em memória", no entanto esse suporta ambiente farm, pois faz uso de cookies no cliente, permitindo que diferentes servidores acessem esses cookies do cliente. No entanto, nesse aqui o servidor não mantém uma lista dos usuários conectados. Desde que você não precise mandar notificações para usuários específicos de um grupo, ou seja, as notificações serão sempre ao grupo inteiro (com a opção de excluir o próprio cliente que originou a chamada), estaria ok esse caso. O problema é que se o servidor reinicia ou ocorre um recycle na pool do IIS, o(s) servidor(es) perde(m) todas as configurações dos grupos.
Persistência Externa
É exatamente o exemplo que você citou com banco de dados. Você persiste as informações de grupos e conexões em um banco de dados, e você não perde mais essas informações após um recycle na pool do IIS, nem quando o usuário limpar os cookies do browser, e suporta farm. O único lado negativo desse é que por ter que persistir em um banco de dados, fica um pouco mais lento para conectar e enviar mensagens, que também poderia ser resolvido com cache distribuído (em uma arquitetura mais sólida).
Mas eu nem pensaria em cache nesse primeiro momento. Banco de dados padrão, vai guardando os dados lá, fazendo testes. Se tu começar a ter um fluxo de notificações muito alta para aquele determinado Hub, daí tu começa a pensar em cache.

Para ver mais sobre esses modelos de persistência de conexão x usuário, veja na documentação do SignalR.

Espero ter esclarecido tuas dúvidas, e que isso te ajude a decidir qual estratégia adotar para seu caso em particular.

Home » Recipes » Main Courses » How To Cook Chanterelles?
My husband and I came back from the mountains with a huge yield of different types of mushrooms. We also collected close to 8 lbs of chanterelles.
There are several ways chanterelles can be cooked and incorporated into your food. Some of my favorite recipes with chanterelles involves sautéing them with potatoes or cooking them in bechamel sauce. Today we are cooking these gems with potatoes and clarified butter! Clarified butter intensifies the taste of potatoes and chanterelles, turning this dish into a very pleasant treat.
If you didn't pick chanterelles today, you can still make this recipe happen with other varieties of mushrooms. Or you can simply purchase chanterelles, since they are in season now.
This recipe is very easy. The only thing you need watch for is not to burn the potatoes and onions.
Peel potatoes and cut each of them in 1 inch wedges. Using a medium sized skillet (enough to cook the potatoes) melt 2 TBSP of clarified butter. Add potatoes into the skillet and start frying them in HIGH heat for about 5 minutes. The idea is to get a slight glaze and crunch going before we add other ingredients. There is no need to mix potatoes often. However, make sure they are not burning on the bottom, by tossing them once or twice within those 5 minutes.
Add sliced onions into the skillet, mix it in and add 1 tsp of salt. Ideally, you can add salt a little later in the game. However, I like the potatoes to soak up some sodium. Assuming the heat is still on HIGH saute potatoes and onions a little bit longer (about 2 minutes). Once you see potatoes developing a nice golden cover, turn the heat down to Medium and cover the lid of the skillet to cook the potatoes through, for about 10 minutes. check every 5 minutes, to gently mix the potatoes and to make sure they are not burning.
While potatoes are cooking, give a quick wash to the chanterelles. Do not soak mushrooms in water. majority of mushrooms are very porous and will soak up the water like a sponge. You will be surprised how much water they can take. You should wash them just enough to remove all the dirt. Slice washed chanterelles in bigger chunks. Mushrooms shrink while cooking. Hence cutting them in larger chunks or strips will give you a better chance of feeling the mushrooms in your food.
Heat up a large skillet on HIGH, add 1 TBSP avocado oil and add the chanterelles. Chanterelles will release their water during this process, resulting in a slight boil. This will cook down the mushrooms and will also help to cook out all the icky stuff which might come with picking mushrooms. Once the water cooked out a bit, add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Turn the heat down to MEDIUM and let the mushrooms cook for another minute. Now the water is completely gone and you hear that slight sizzle of the oil from under the mushrooms.
By this time the potatoes should have cooked through. You may need to give it one last blast on HIGH heat to create a golden crust. Turn the heat from under the potatoes to HIGH and fry them a bit without burning the onions. Once the potatoes are ready, transfer potatoes into the skillet with chanterelles. Add 1/2 cup of chopped dill and toss everything together.
Serve with warm bread or with a side of fresh vegetables. Now you know one of the ways of cooking chanterelles.
Peel potatoes and cut each of them in 1 inch wedges. Using a medium sized skillet (enough to cook the potatoes) melt 2 TBSP of clarified butter. Add potatoes into the skillet and start frying them in HIGH heat for about 5 minutes. The idea is to get a slight glaze and crunch going before we add other ingredients.


In a food processor or blender, pulse together the egg yolk, vinegar, dill, cayenne and salt.
While the blender is running, slowly pour in the oil until the mayo is thick and creamy.
Fold ½ cup of the mayo into the shrimp salad and stir to combine.
Add more mayo if desired.
Add in the juice of the lemon and a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
Serve on a salad, crackers or a crusty loaf of bread and enjoy!
I would absolutely love this on a piece of garlic bread.

International development projects can be closed for a variety of reasons. In the best case, a project will be closed because the problem it is trying to solve has been fixed. In other cases, a project could close because there is a lack of funding, the organisation no longer has permission to operate in the area, or the security situation has deteriorated.
Regardless of why the project is closing it's important to do it properly. Here are a few tips that might help.
It can be tempting to just throw all the paperwork in some boxes and turn off the lights (especially if you didn't want the project to close). But that type of approach makes it more difficult for lessons to be learnt, and for the project to open again in the future.
Make sure you collect all the documentation from the project – both hard and soft copies. This includes technical documentation, such as logframes and reports, and administrative documentation like staff files and tax declarations.
Carefully file all the hard and soft copies in a logical folder structure. In the future, someone might want to open the project again or find an important document. This will only be possible if you have filed things properly.
Your project might be closing, but there are still other similar projects that could benefit from the lessons you've learnt.
Make a list of the most important things that were learnt during the project. Think about how you can communicate these lessons to other people running similar projects. For example, you could post a report online, publish a journal article, speak at a conference, or even write an article for tools4dev.
Most projects have assets like vehicles, computers and furniture. You should dispose of these items in a transparent way, following the requirements of the donor. It is not appropriate for assets to be given away to staff or sold at a cheap price to friends or family.
Make a list of all the assets that belong to the project.
Assess the value of each item. For example, take the vehicles to a qualified mechanic for a valuation and also check the prices of used cars in the newspaper.
Advertise an auction sale publicly in the newspaper or other mass media.
On the day of the auction sell each item to the highest bidder. Collect the revenue and put it in the project account.
All remaining funds, including any funds raised from the auction of assets, should be returned to the donor. Some organisations (and even donors) encourage you to spend all the remaining money. However, in my experience this ends up wasting money on useless activities when it could be spent on other worthwhile activities or projects.
Some donors allow you to transfer the remaining funds to another project that has a similar objective. In other cases, funds (or even assets) can be donated to related government departments. For example, remaining medical equipment could be donated to a local hospital.
As the final step in the process, you will need to close the project bank account. Don't forget to cancel other subscriptions or services that may be paid from the account. For example, website hosting fees, journal subscriptions, telephone lines, rent, etc.
If the project had full time staff, then the closure of the project will mean these employees have been made redundant. Finding a new job can be difficult. You can assist by helping review their CV, providing a written referral, and introducing them to other organisations that may be looking to hire.

Q: The $n^\text{th}$ moment of $p(x=k)=\dfrac{pq^k}{1-q^{N+1}}$ Find the $n^\text{th}$ moment of $p(x=k)=\dfrac{pq^k}{1-q^{N+1}}$, $k=0,1,2,\ldots,N$ , $0\lt p\lt 1$ and $q=1-p$.
My approach is $$M_x(t)=\sum e^{xt}\cdot p(x)=\frac{p}{1-q^{N+1}} \cdot \sum_{x=0}^N e^{tx}q^x$$
Now, $M_x^n(t)=\frac{p}{1-q^{N+1}}\cdot\sum_{x=0}^N x^ne^{tx}q^x$
Thus, $M_x^n(0)=\frac{p}{1-q^{N+1}}\cdot\sum_{x=0}^N x^nq^x$
Can we get any closed form for the expression?

A: The sum $\displaystyle \sum_{x=0}^N e^{tx}q^x = \sum_{x=0}^N \big( e^t q \big)^x$ is a finite geometric series with first term $1$ and common ratio $e^tq.$ There is a closed form for the sum of a finite geometric series.
I would write $\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^N e^{tk}q^k$ rather than $\displaystyle \sum_{x=0}^N e^{tx}q^x$ for two reasons: You used the letter $k$ for that earlier, and it is not a good idea to use the same symbol, $x,$ to refer both to the random variable and to the index in this sum.

How to defend against our susceptibility to fake news
Thinking developed in childhood makes people vulnerable, researchers say
Thought processes and belief systems that people develop early in life to help protect against the anxiety and stress of an uncertain world may help explain why some individuals fall victim to what has come to be known as fake news, but psychologists can offer some strategies to defend against it, according to a series of presentations at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association.
"At its core is the need for the brain to receive confirming information that harmonizes with an individual's existing views and beliefs," said Mark Whitmore, PhD, assistant professor of management and information systems at Kent State University's College of Business Administration. "In fact, one could say the brain is hardwired to accept, reject, misremember or distort information based on whether it is viewed as accepting of or threatening to existing beliefs."
The key to people's accepting fake news as true, despite evidence to the contrary, is a phenomenon known as confirmation bias, or the tendency for people to seek and accept information that confirms their existing beliefs while rejecting or ignoring that which contradicts those beliefs, he said.
Many of these beliefs and biases are formed early in life when children begin to distinguish between fantasy and reality, according to Eve Whitmore, PhD, a developmental psychologist with Western Reserve Psychological Associates in Stow, Ohio, who also presented at the session. Some of these beliefs can be based in fantasy, and that can lead to what she calls nonsensical thinking.
"From the beginning, parents reinforce to their children the skill of pretending in order to cope with the realities inherent in culture and society," she said. "Children's learning about make-believe and mastery of it becomes the basis for more complex forms of self-deception and illusion into adulthood."
Parents commonly encourage young children to engage in pretend play. Through this pretend play, children often practice little life scenarios, like playing house, that help to reinforce cultural norms and beliefs and aid in assimilation as they age. The flip side is that children also learn that sometimes it's OK to make believe things are true, even though they know they are not, according to Eve Whitmore.
In adolescence, people develop critical thinking skills and some begin to question what they were taught as children, perhaps religious beliefs or even the belief that authority figures such as parents or even the government leaders are always right. But going against one's parents' beliefs can cause friction within the family, and, despite evidence to the contrary, some are willing to rationalize those false beliefs in order to avoid upsetting their parents, she said.
It may begin as a conscious decision, but as rationalization piles on top of rationalization over the years, these processes can become unconscious. As people reach adulthood, many of these false beliefs and biases formed as children, instead of being given a good critical examination, are simply accepted and continue to influence how a person perceives his or her world, according to Mark Whitmore.
"In this way, childhood beliefs persevere throughout a person's life and serve as a framework for processing information in adulthood," he said. "In attempting to confirm preconceived ideas, a person may resort to both fiction and reality in order to preserve these beliefs."
The rise of the internet and social media has only compounded the problem of fake news, according to Mark Whitmore, upending the traditional news model where an individual receives from a small number of outlets.
"In today's media environment, the channels are multiple, and the messages are often simultaneous and contradictory," he said. "The receiver is often faced with paradoxical and seemingly absurd messages. It becomes easier to cling to a simple fiction than a complicated reality."
Psychology offers a few evidence-based strategies for defending against the pull of fake news, according to Mark Whitmore. One key to avoiding the pull of confirmation bias is reducing the anxiety that makes it so appealing.
"One positive defense strategy is humor. Watching late night comedy or political satire, while not actually altering or changing the source of the stressor, can help reduce the stress and anxiety associated with it," he said. "Another is sublimation, where you channel your negative feelings into something positive, such as running for office, marching in a protest or volunteering for a social cause."
He also recommends that people cultivate an open mind by deliberately exposing themselves to different points of view. This can help them moderate their viewpoints and make them less extreme, he said.
Critical thinking is also key. People must learn to question what they are told and this should begin in childhood, said Mark Whitmore.
"Developing a greater degree of skepticism in children, by encouraging them to ask why and to question, diminishes confirmation bias," he said. "All of these strategies have substantial research supporting their beneficial effects."
