Europe heatwave: temperatures could pass 44.1C record in France
By Lauren Chadwick •et; last updated: 28/06/2019
France could set a temperature record on Friday as authorities in the south of France raised the heatwave alert level from orange to red.
The current temperature record was set in 2003 at 44.1 Celcius.
A ferocious heatwave has struck the continent this week.
Wildfires have ravaged across nearly 10,000 acres across Catalonia, which are said to be among the worst the region has seen in 20 years.
On Wednesday, temperatures reached 34.9 Celsius in France to become the hottest June day on record, according to France's meteorological agency, Météo-France.
It was even hotter in Germany on Wednesday, which set another June record of 38.6 Celsius. Poland too set a June record of 38.2 Celsius, and the Czech Republic recorded another June high of 38.9 Celsius
Hundreds of schools have been closed across France due to the heat and Spain has warned of forest fires.
Read more: Hundreds of schools closed throughout France as temperatures top 40C
Why has the heatwave gripped Europe this month?
According to Jonny Day from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), this is not the first example of such a phenomenon.
"In terms of the time of year and spatial pattern of warmth, the ongoing event in Europe is quite similar to the 2015 European heatwave, which most severely affected southern and central Europe, and which set the all-time temperature records for Germany and Switzerland" Day said, adding that we will need to wait until after the peak of this event to really know how severe it has been.
Over this week, Europeans will be sweltering as temperatures reach between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius in most of France and Italy, potentially reaching 40 degrees in northern Spain. Models show temperatures much higher than average in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.
A hot air mass rising from North Africa will cause temperatures to soar.
Temperatures already rose on Monday and this will continue through to Friday with the risk of a heatwave for much of the week.
Europe is being swept by strong, hot winds from Africa which are also bringing a high concentration of small particles PM2.5 which stay in the air for a long time as they are so light.
According to a study by the American Heart Association, "exposure to PM(2.5) over a few hours to weeks can trigger cardiovascular disease-related mortality and nonfatal events; longer-term exposure (eg, a few years) increases the risk for cardiovascular mortality to an even greater extent than exposures over a few days and reduces life expectancy within more highly exposed segments of the population by several months to a few year."
A heatwave is classified as multiple days with abnormally high temperatures.
It can be especially risky for older people and children.
"Even though it will be short-lived, this heatwave could be remarkable for its momentum and intensity," Météo France said.
The new normal?
Meteorologists warned earlier this month that heatwaves could be a trend for summer in Europe this year due to high-pressure systems.
Anca Brookshaw, expert on seasonal prediction at ECMWF Copernicus explained this trend to Euronews:
"The most recent seasonal prediction favours above-average temperatures over much of Europe, for the period July to September as a whole. While the seasonal average is not a perfect indicator of the risk of heatwaves (or of severity of any such events), over Europe there is a direct correlation: seasons which include more heatwaves than usual are likely to record above-average seasonal means."
The areas indicated as most at risk by this forecast are southwest Europe and the extreme eastern part of the continent.
According to the European Environment Agency, 2018 was among the three warmest years on record in Europe.
Euronews spoke to Dr Dim Como, an expert on Climate Change and Extreme Weather at Amsterdam University, said that "due to simple warming, due to global warming these type of heat extremes are much more likely. So if you have the circulation that can bring heatwaves then heatwaves will be much more intense."

April 23: This Day in History
April 23, 2015 – Segment 1
Marc shares some of the events that happened on this day in history, including Hank Aaron hitting the first of his 755-major league home runs on this day in 1954 in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals and the death of Cesar Chavez.
Transcript of this day in history included below.
Diosa Costello – Siboney
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtTK0E-wcvo
That was "Siboney," an early recording by Diosa Costello, whose birthday we celebrate today. She was born in 1913 in Puerto Rico, but grew up in the Bronx. She was a singer, but she was best known for her work on stage. She was the first Latina to appear on Broadway.
In 1873, the second of the 5 Anglo-Ashanti Wars broke out in West Africa. It began in 1824, as the Ashanti Empire and Britain went to war after the British attempted to colonize what is now Ghana. The final war did not end until 1902, when Britain set up control of what they called the Gold Coast.
We remember two important inventors today whose names you may not be familiar with:
An advance in the field of photography was made today in 1895 by a Newton, New Jersey inventor. It was an improved system for washing photographic prints or negatives so that photographs wouldn't appear "washed out," created by Cuban-born African-American Clatonia Joaquin Dorticus.
And today is the birthday of the "Black Edison," born today in 1856 in Columbus, Ohio. Granville T. Woods was his name and he held over 50 patents. He is also remembered for his engineering work on streetcars and trains, since he was the first Black mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War.
Hank Aaron, of the Black players who broke the color barrier, hit the first of his 755-major league home runs on this day in 1954 in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Columbia University students in Black and White solidarity took over their university today in 1968 in protest against the Vietnam War and because of the University's deep involvement in war research. It became one of the most widely-covered and significant protests against the Vietnam War.
William Shakespeare was born today in 1564, one of the greatest dramatists of all time. His plays are performed constantly in every nation and every language because in drama and comedy, Shakespeare's plays speak so deeply to the human condition.
And we lost two important activists today:
Blair Peach died today in 1979. He was a New Zealand native, anti-racism activist and member of the Anti-Nazi league. He died from injuries sustained during a bloody clash between demonstrators and police in in Southall, London.
And Cesar Chavez passed away on this in 1993. He founded the United Farm Workers, creating a union of grape and vegetable pickers who went on strike that shook the nation. Cesar Chavez created the national boycott of grapes and led to rights for farm workers.
And for your soundtrack on this day, April 23rd. President Ronald Reagan presented the National Medal of the Arts to two important people today in 1985. One of them was writer, scholar and critic Ralph Waldo Ellison, who won the National Book Award for his timeless book Invisible Man. There's one interesting fact about Ralph Ellison I wanted to share. He grew up in Oklahoma City and his father died when he was 3 years old. When Ralph was older, he would learn that his father had always hoped he would grow up to be a poet.
President Reagan also gave the National Medal of Arts to another artist on that day: soprano Mary Violet Leontyne Price. Born to a lumber mill worker and midwife in Laurel, Mississippi, Price went on to become one of the first African American leading artists at the Metropolitan Opera. Paul Robeson and the White family that her aunt worked for put together the money to send Mary Violet Leontyne Price to Juilliard. And what you're hearing under me is her performance of "O Patria Mia."
Leontyne Price Opera Farewell "O patria mia"

Generally, nutritionists recommend not to eat before bedtime. In fact, consuming heavy foods before going to bed will affect your sleep quality badly. Therefore, we wanted to explain the food that can be eaten before going to bed. The right amount of food to eat the right foods will prevent some common sleep problems such as insomnia, indigestion and frequent toilet flushing. By eating sleepy foods, you can make it easier for you to sleep more easily and sleep.
Tryptophan serotonin and melatonin are amino acids that cause the production of sleep-triggering chemicals in the body. In the evenings, food that is high in tryptophan foods sends more signals to the brain for the production of these chemicals. Tryptophan is found in protein-rich foods such as lean meat, dairy products, hazelnut paste, beans and soy products. Whole grains, such as bread, cereals and brown rice, are also high in triptofanca.
Carbohydrates remove amino acids that compete with tryptophan in the blood. It stimulates insulin secretion and increases the effect of tryptophan. To make the most of tryptophan-containing foods, you can eat healthy carbohydrate foods, such as whole wheat bread, crackers or fruit. For example, you can make a small snack by driving peanut butter on a full-grain slice of bread. You can obtain peanut butter from Evolution Organics or Ethical superstore.
Calcium triggers the brain to form melatonin. Therefore, drinking and consuming tryptophan and calcium-containing dairy products before bedtime would be an excellent option.
Willingness is important when eating before going to bed. The digestive system may cause discomfort during sleep. A light meal or aperitif is usually the best option, as it will cause you to fall asleep.
What should not be eaten before going to bed?
Stay away from spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol before going to bed. Spicy foods can keep you awake or inconvenient to sleep. It can also trigger indigestion. Caffeine causes wakefulness and typically remains in the body for at least six hours. While alcohol can help you fall asleep more easily, it can also cause less restful sleep. Alcohol causes disorders for the normal sleep cycle of the body. Frequent trips to the bathroom can also reduce fluid consumption in the evenings to keep you awake at night to also limit fluid consumption.

Q: Delete multiple objects in django I need to select several objects to be deleted from my database in django using a webpage. There is no category to select from so I can't delete from all of them like that. Do I have to implement my own delete form and process it in django or does django have a way to already do this? As its implemented in the admin interface.

A: You can delete any QuerySet you'd like. For example, to delete all blog posts with some Post model
Post.objects.all().delete()

and to delete any Post with a future publication date
Post.objects.filter(pub_date__gt=datetime.now()).delete()

You do, however, need to come up with a way to narrow down your QuerySet. If you just want a view to delete a particular object, look into the delete generic view.
EDIT:
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think the answer is somewhere between. To implement your own, combine ModelForms and generic views. Otherwise, look into 3rd party apps that provide similar functionality. In a related question,  the recommendation was django-filter.

Hendrik Van Crombrugge (Leuven, 30 april 1993) is een Belgische doelman die sinds de zomer van 2019 uitkomt voor het Belgische RSC Anderlecht.

Carrière

Jeugd
Hendrik Van Crombrugge groeide op in het Hageland, waar hij bij de jeugd voetbalde van Meensel-Kiezegem en Houtem. In 2004 belandde hij bij de jeugd van toenmalig derdeklasser KVK Tienen. Daar werd hij al na een jaar weggeplukt door het naburige STVV. In 2008 maakte hij de overstap naar het opleidingscentrum van Standard Luik. Bij de Rouches werkte Van Crombrugge zich op tot de A-kern, maar speelkansen kreeg hij er niet. Na drie seizoenen keerde hij terug naar STVV.

STVV
In 2011 keerde Van Crombrugge terug naar Sint-Truiden, waar hij de concurrentie moest aangaan met doelmannen Mark Volders en Bram Castro. Op de zesde speeldag van het seizoen 2011/12 van de Jupiler Pro League mocht hij zijn debuut maken voor de Kanaries. De doelman mocht toen door de blessures van Volders en Castro starten in de Limburgse derby tegen KRC Genk. Voor trainers Franky Van der Elst (STVV) en Mario Been (Genk) was het hun eerste wedstrijd bij hun nieuwe werkgever. De 18-jarige Van Crombrugge incasseerde vier doelpunten en zag hoe zijn team in extremis met 3–4 verloor. Enkele dagen later bereikte STVV met Genk een akkoord over de overstap van doelman Davino Verhulst. Na het aantrekken van Verhulst kwam Van Crombrugge niet meer in actie voor de Limburgers.

STVV sloot het seizoen 2011/12 af als laatste en zakte na een mislukte play-off III naar de Tweede Klasse. De club nam in de zomer van 2012 afscheid van doelmannen Volders en Castro, en trok met Davy Schollen een nieuwe keeper aan. Van Crombrugge werd zo overbodig bij STVV, dat hem graag wilde uitlenen. Van Crombrugge zelf wilde in Sint-Truiden blijven. Om financiële redenen werd uiteindelijk besloten om de samenwerking met Van Crombrugge stop te zetten. Op 31 januari 2013 werd zijn contract bij STVV ontbonden. Nadien zat hij enkele maanden zonder club.

Eupen
In juni 2013 sloot de doelman zich aan bij tweedeklasser KAS Eupen, waar hij de doublure werd van de Duitse doelman Jonas Deumeland. In de reguliere competitie van het seizoen 2013/14 speelde hij een handvol wedstrijden, waarna hij alle duels in de eindronde mocht spelen. Op de eerste speeldag van de eindronde pakte hij meteen drie punten op het veld van zijn ex-club STVV. Eupen werd uiteindelijk tweede in de eindronde, na Moeskroen-Péruwelz. Na het seizoen werd zijn aflopend contract verlengd tot 2017.

Vanaf het seizoen 2014/15 werd Van Crombrugge eerste doelman bij Eupen. Hij bereikte met zijn teamgenoten opnieuw de eindronde, maar greep voor het tweede jaar op rij naast promotie. Eupen werd tweede, ditmaal na Oud-Heverlee Leuven. Een seizoen later moest van Crombrugge van trainer Jordi Condom meermaals plaats ruimen voor de Senegalese doelman Babacar Niasse. De boomlange doelman was opgeleid bij de Aspire Academy, het internationale opleidingscentrum waar de club sterk aan verbonden was. Eupen werd in het seizoen 2015/16 vicekampioen in de Tweede Klasse, maar omdat kampioen White Star Brussel geen licentie kreeg, mochten Van Crombrugge en zijn ploeggenoten toch naar de Jupiler Pro League promoveren.

Ook op het hoogste niveau bleef Van Crombrugge eerste doelman van Eupen. In het seizoen 2016/17 slaagde Eupen erin om de degradatiezone te ontlopen. De club sloot het seizoen af in de middenmoot met zeven punten voorsprong op degradant KVC Westerlo. In de loop van het seizoen verlengde Van Crombrugge zijn contract tot 2020. Een seizoen later had Eupen het moeilijker om in de hoogste afdeling te blijven. De club won amper punten en zou uiteindelijk met KV Mechelen, dat evenveel punten bezat maar over een beter doelsaldo beschikte, om het behoud strijden. Op de slotspeeldag wonnen beide teams hun laatste wedstrijd, maar omdat Eupen met 4–0 van Excel Moeskroen had gewonnen, verwierf het in extremis een beter doelsaldo dan Mechelen, dat daardoor degradeerde. Bij KV Mechelen werd wegens de opvallende score van Eupen-Moeskroen geïnsinueerd dat Eupen en Moeskroen het op een akkoord hadden gegooid. Dit tot grote ergernis van onder meer Van Crombrugge en zijn ploeggenoot Siebe Blondelle, die beweerden dat het juist Mechelen was dat in de aanloop naar de slotspeeldag geprobeerd had om Eupen te destabiliseren.

Anderlecht
In de zomer van 2019 versierde hij een transfer naar de Belgische recordkampioen RSC Anderlecht. Van Crombrugge wist meteen indruk te maken en verdreef eerste doelman Thomas Didillon zo uit doel. Vanaf het seizoen 2020/21 zal hij de aanvoerdersband dragen bij Anderlecht nadat Vincent Kompany de beslissing maakt om zijn voetbalschoenen aan de haak te hangen.

Trivia

 Hans Van Crombrugge, de vader van Hendrik, is doctor in de pedagogische wetenschappen. Hij wordt beschouwd als topwetenschapper, is hoogleraar in Brussel en wordt af en toe geïnterviewd op radio en tv over thema's gerelateerd aan zijn vakgebied.
 Zijn rechterpink staat helemaal krom. In zijn periode bij de jeugd van Standard is die uit de kom geraakt door een hard schot erop. Van Crombrugge heeft zijn pink zelf meteen teruggezet, maar scheurde daarbij de ligamenten ervan. Een operatie bracht geen soelaas maar het hindert hem niet in zijn job als doelman.

The NBA's Furious 17: Capturing the Noncontenders' State of Mind by Bill Simmons
The NBA's Furious 17: Capturing the Noncontenders' State of Mind
Sacramento Kings (27-51)
Tao of Dom: "I saw Linder about a week later. I had the wrench in my hand. I hit him. I didn't mean to keep hitting him, but by the time I was done, I couldn't lift my arm. He's a janitor at an elementary school. He has to take the bus to work … and they banned me from the tracks for life."
The good news for Linder? He belatedly recovered from his head injuries and became Sacramento's newest VP of personnel. Just kidding. I don't mind the nucleus here: Boogie Cousins (a borderline first-team All-NBA center who couldn't get it because his team stunk), Ben McLemore (blossomed in Year 2), Rudy Gay (shockingly solid this season), great and loyal fans, a top-eight lottery pick coming, Boogie a second time, and Boogie a third time. If you want to keep going, we have a great 30 for 30 coming about how Sacramento saved the Kings from going to Seattle. Oh, and the Maloofs are long gone. So it's not all bad. Even if the Kings just endured the worst 13-year run of any NBA franchise.
The big question: When will the hilariously incompetent Vivek Ranadivé conquer New Owner Syndrome? When will he realize that you can't keep changing coaches and front-office executives every six months like you're replacing the oil in your car? When will he finally get the whole "You hire the front-office guy first, then HE hires the coach because they have to work together" sequence correct? Part of me hopes Vivek never figures it out; it's just funnier this way. He's gone through four coaches and roughly 42 different front-office guys already. He just turned basketball decision-making powers over to the well-liked Vlade Divac — someone who hadn't been involved in the NBA, in any capacity, for 10 solid years. Who's next after Vlade doesn't work out? C-Webb? Bonzi Wells? The Christies? Lawrence Funderburke?
Still, there's a certain honor in rooting for the strangest, goofiest, most inexplicably incompetent franchise in basketball. When everything turns around, it makes the whole thing feel even sweeter. Trust me, I'm a Patriots fan. We stunk for the first 30-plus years of my life, then, all of a sudden, we didn't. Keep your head up, Kings fans. And remember: At least you saved your team. Sure, you saved it and put it in the hands of someone who seems about as stable as Cookie from Empire. But at least you saved your team.

Q: Draw a probability distribution The task is the following:
Use R to plot the probability function of the random variable described above. Estimate the respective probability that the sum of the three dice assumes a specific value.
I solved it like this, but I don't know if it's correct:
x <- function(){sum(sample(1:6, 3, replace=T))}
exp1<-replicate(10^3,x())
**hist(exp1, breaks=50, prob=T)**

Can you help me?

A: hist() is designed for continuous distributions rather than discrete ones. It sounds as though you have a discrete distribution.
The usual way to display the empirical pf for a discrete distribution is to use plot(table(exp1)/n), where n is the number of samples. For example, with your simulation,
x <- function(){sum(sample(1:6, 3, replace=T))}
exp1<-replicate(10^3,x())
plot(table(exp1)/10^3, ylab = "Probability")

Created on 2022-05-11 by the reprex package (v2.0.1)
If you are expected to compute the theoretical pf, you'd need two vectors: x, the possible values, and pf, the probabilities for each. Then plot(x, pf, type = "h") will do it.

ELAC Women's Center marches against violence
Posted By Online Editor on October 8, 2012
RAISING AWARENESS—A half skeleton-painted drummer beats her drum to lead the footsteps of a march along the Mujeres de Paz in the East LA College Women's Center's candlelight vigil surrounding domestic violence issues. CN/Edgar Lopez
By Erik Luna
In observance of Domestic Violence month students, teachers and community members marched down Avenida Cesar Chavez holding up signs and chanting.
Hand held signs reading "Your hands are not for hitting," and "I'm not your punching bag," appeared throughout the march.
The East Los Angeles Women's Center has coordinated the Mujeres de Paz Candlelight Vigil event for the past 15 years.
As the march continued, Danza Azteca Xochipilli lead the way while cars honked in support of the demonstration.
Community member Elizabeth Garcia wore a shirt in honor of her sister who was killed by her ex-husband.
"Maybe if I were more aware of her situation and how I could have helped she would be walking with me right now in this march," Garcia said.
The march ended at the Performing and Fine Arts Center courtyard. There participants were given a chance to speak about their experiences with domestic violence.
A temporary altar was placed in the middle of the courtyard dedicated to domestic violence victims.
Aquila Hernandez, East Los Angeles College cadet, spoke to the crowd after being inspired by their stories.
"I've gone on ride-along's with the Sheriff's and I've personally seen domestic violence in homes. I just wanted to say that if anyone ever needs help, the Sheriff's station is always open and there will always be someone there to help you," Hernandez said.
According to the executive director of ELAWC, Barbara Kappos, ELAC is an important part of the demonstration.
"It brings the young adults together and they are the future of stopping domestic violence," Kappos said. "As we pass the baton, so to speak, they will be in charge of making a difference and making sure that domestic violence stops," she said.
According to Kappos one out of five women will be the victims of sexual assault during her college years.
"These are staggering statistics… So, we're here to stand up to domestic violence," Kappos said.
"Domestic violence happens everywhere… people should know about it and should do something about it, because a lot of times these cases don't get solved," Elan Victoria Gomez said.
Information tables were set up in front of the P2 building with pamphlets and business cards for those in seek of help.
"The testimonials aren't planned, we ask people to come forward, but we don't know who will come forward. I think that's the strength of this event," Kappos said.
"We can only end domestic violence together as a community," she said.

This land is your landTrump administration
Trump seeks to fast-track dozens of fossil fuel projects during pandemic
List comes after Trump order in June directed agencies to use emergency authority to speed projects amid economic downturn

The Trump administration has identified dozens of major fossil fuel, energy and water projects that could be fast-tracked by expediting environmental reviews amid the pandemic, according to internal government documents.
At least 19 of the projects are from companies that have spent a total of $16m lobbying the interior department since early 2017, according to an analysis by the conservation group the Center for Western Priorities. ConocoPhillips spent $11.2m of that amount lobbying the department, including on plans to drill for oil and gas within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, the group said.
Three of the companies that could potentially benefit have met with the interior secretary, David Bernhardt, personally. Another is the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District, which Bernhardt represented as a lawyer at the firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. The district is seeking to divert water from the Missouri River to supply the Red River Valley in North Dakota, a project environmental advocates oppose.
The list was obtained with a public records request by the Center for Biological Diversity and first reported by the Associated Press. It was written in response to an executive order Donald Trump signed in June directing agencies to use emergency authority to speed energy and infrastructure projects during the economic downturn from the coronavirus pandemic.
The administration had already prioritized the approval of many of the projects on the list before the executive order. Agencies are trying to finalize unfinished business before 20 January, in case Trump does not win re-election.
Some of the projects are caught up in years-long legal battles and would be difficult to speed along.
Brett Hartl, government affairs director for the Center for Biological Diversity, said some of the projects were likely added to the list to make the executive order "look more important than it is".
Trump administration rule seeks to make drilling easier in national forests
That said, he added that big projects involve consultations and reviews on endangered species, historic preservation and impacts to tribes.
"There's lots of boxes that have to be checked and we won't know until many months or sometimes years later what they did behind the scenes to try to finish those quickly," Hartl said.
The projects that the Trump administration believes could be fast-tracked include the Jordan Cove gas export project in Oregon, the coastal plan oil and gas leasing development plan in the Arctic national wildlife refuge in Alaska, the Vineyard Wind offshore wind project off the coast of Massachusetts and the Arrow Canyon solar project in Nevada.
The deputy interior secretary, Katharine MacGregor, outlined the projects in a list addressed to Larry Kudlow, the president's assistant for economic policy.
After publication of this article, an interior department spokesman, Conner Swanson, said: "While this radical environmental group is pushing ridiculously false theories and grasping for ways to push their extremist agenda, the Trump Administration recognizes that for far too long, critically important infrastructure, energy and other economic development projects have been needlessly paralyzed by federal red tape."
Trump's executive order is one of many ways his administration has sought to help fossil fuel companies during the pandemic, including directing millions of dollars in small business assistance to the industry under a program available to all types of businesses.
Andrea Woods, a spokeswoman at the White House council on environmental quality, told E&E News that agencies would still have to "comply with all existing laws protecting our environment, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act and other statutes".
This article was updated on Friday 4 September with comment from the interior department.

Most Popular Engagement Ring Styles
Come pandemic or not, if there is one thing we have all realized – it is that the engagement season is here to stay. While the famous engagement ring styles like solitaires and ovals are in vogue, people are also looking to get innovative and try different types like the Toi et Moi.
Whether you and your partner have started discussing the perfect ring or dropping hints, you need to be well informed about the different engagement ring styles available in the market. After all, this ring will be on all the social media platforms, will be the topic of discussion among friends, and will be an embodiment of your love and commitment.
We rounded up some of the most popular engagement ring styles that are ruling the 2021 trends. Take a look:
Trendy Engagement Rings Styles
1. Solitaires:
There are different types of engagement rings, but this one is our personal favourite. Solitaire rings are unique because they bring the spotlight to the single diamond. Solitaire style is also considered one of the best wedding rings – this is because the solitaire diamond represents pure beauty, elegance, a classic design, and most importantly, the single stone style is everlasting. Whether you want to dress up the ring or not, the solitaire is versatile and comes with a lot of grace. The other significant advantage with solitaires is that the ring can almost match any wedding band.
If you want to take it a step further, you could also make it a pave engagement ring – with the surface of the ring covered in diamonds. Sparkling and shiny, now who could say no to that?
2. Hidden halo
What is a halo ring style? This simple style has a beautiful setting where the center gemstone is encircled and enclosed by several pave diamonds. This makes the ring looks more prominent, more lustrous, and is overall striking. The halo was a big hit, especially in the 1920s, but with people taking a particular interest in vintage styles, the halo became trendy. Whether you choose oval, round, or pear-shaped halo – the brilliance and beauty of the diamonds sitting with much elegance in the center of the ring make the ring look so spectacular.
3. Three-stone
One of the most trendy engagement ring styles – the three-stone engagement ring, comes with many personalities. You can do a lot with a three-stone diamond ring – a diamond in the center with gemstones on the side, or the classic three diamonds – the three-sone style is quite versatile and can be customized according to your likes. However, it is to be believed that the three-stone ring has a lot of significance. Each stone depicts a value that the partners must possess: friendship, love, and fidelity.
4. Toi et Moi
Often referred to as one of the cool engagement rings, Toi et Moi rings are the most superlative type of engagement rings and have the meaning right there in their name. Toi et Moi, when translated, means 'you and me' – is there anything more romantic than that? The style is one of the most popular trends of 2021, courtesy of celebrities who endorsed it on their Instagram. We are talking about American singer Ariana Grande, Queen Margrethe of Denmark, and American model Emily Ratajkowski.
5. Shape shifters
Engagement ring styles are plenty, but what about the shape of the diamond? Well, there is plenty to choose from – starting with a round brilliant-cut diamond which is a natural sparkler and is a universal shape that can fit into any engagement ring style. For something more contemporary, you can choose the princess cut. For all those who love vintage vibes, you can opt for the cushion-cut diamond. We also absolutely love pear, oval, emerald, marquise diamonds that all stand out independently.
Top Engagement Ring Designers
1. Noam Carver:
This Canadian brand, named after the designer, unites classic and contemporary motifs from around the world. From concept through fabrication, each piece is meticulously handcrafted with precious metals and rare, one-of-a-kind gemstones.
2. Tacori:
Each ring from Tacori is distinct and handcrafted through many hours of work by a skilled crafts team. They select their diamonds specifically for their cut, clarity, colour, and carat. The Tacori family is wholly involved in designing the rings, which are made with passion and love. Their diamonds are conflict-free, as approved by the World Diamond Council.
3. Maple Leaf Diamonds
Maple Leaf Diamonds are mined in the pristine wilds of northern Canada. They formed deep within the earth millions of years ago, eventually emerging as beautiful, one-of-a-kind treasures. They are some of the most highly prized diamonds in the world. These diamonds rank among the world's most exquisite and valued gems.

Russian media gives high prominence to New Delhi gangrape case

Russian newspapers and TV channels regularly carried out reports about the ongoing protests in India, mainly by students and members of the youth in various cities, demanding improvement of the safety of women and harsher punishment for rapists.
The Russian media has given high prominence to the coverage of the New Delhi gangrape of a woman medical student on December 16, fuelling an outburst of unprecedented anger and mass street protests in the Indian capital which instantly spread across the country.
Russian newspapers and TV channels regularly carried out reports about the ongoing protests, mainly by students and members of the youth in various cities, demanding improvement of the safety of women and harsher punishment for rapists. The victim, a 23-year-old girl succumbed to her serious multiple injuries on December 29, in a Singapore hospital.
"The case of the medical student raped in mid-December in the Munirka area of Delhi by a gang of six men, has dominated the public forum," the Russia Today TV channel said in a report "India's gangrape shock," revealing the gory accounts of alleged brutal abuse by a juvenile suspect.

"The incident has provoked public outrage, condemning the police and the government for their inaction on the issue of women's safety," it added, referring to the peaceful mass street protests in New Delhi, after the news of the victim's death, the reports about which were broadcast in all the news bulletins of electronic media.
"The gangrape case has become the focus of protests across India, rallying for greater protection for women in Indian society," the channel said, stressing, "New Delhi has an infamous reputation as India's rape capital."
"Victims of rapes often do not come forward to the police in India for fear of shaming their families or being ignored by the police. Moreover, rape cases are so widespread that they are rarely covered by the press," it said.
The channel said the Indian authorities have reportedly announced a series of measures aimed at making the city safer for women, including more police night patrols, checks on bus drivers and their assistants, and the banning of buses with painted windows or curtains. The government has also set up a 13-member committee under a retired Supreme Court judge to recommend changes to the criminal law dealing with sexual crimes, it said.
"In response to the public uproar, India's ruling Congress Party is drafting the new legislation for submission to the Justice Verma Committee, charged with reassessing current rape laws and suggesting changes to ensure greater safety for women," it said.
The Russian state radio station "Voice of Russia," in particular, reported on January 3 how the death of the victim of the gangrape in New Delhi, sparked a national outrage throughout the country. "Thousands of women marched through Delhi to Rajghat- Mahatma Gandhi's Samadhi- to protest against the rape and men's attitude to women," it said.
"The crime has highlighted the prevalence of sex attacks on women in India and led to outcry across the country, with many calling for the death penalty for the culprits," it said, adding " the demonstrations have become the biggest protests in the Indian capital since the anti-corruption marches in 2011 that shook the government."
"The incident evoked a widespread societal response. It led to a wave of protests demanding hanging of the perpetrators of this crime and ensuring safety of women. About 145 people, including 80 policemen were injured in the ensuing clashes between the protesters and the police," the radio station said in its report entitled "Highly publicised gangrape case trial begins in India" on January 7.
Russian online newspaper Pravda also reported on the case and the protests. "The young woman whose gangrape triggered protests and a national debate on violence against women in India, died on December 29, causing police action to ensure security in the capital, New Delhi, and confirmation by the Indian Prime Minister that social change is needed," it said in its report on January 3.
"The intense media coverage of the gangrape and the use of social media to galvanise protests, especially by young middle-class students, forced political leaders to confront some uncomfortable truths about the treatment of women in India," the paper noted.
"Most sex crimes are not reported in India, many offenders go unpunished, and the wheels of justice turn slowly, according to social activists who say successive governments have done little to ensure the safety of women," Pravda underlined.
It pointed out that the street protesters have accused the Indian authorities and the police of not taking seriously the allegations of rapes and sexual assaults in the country, where over 90 percent of violent crimes recorded in 2011 had one or more victims as women.
The paper also cited official statistics to show that an "epidemic of attacks" on young women has become common incidents.
"Of the 2,56,329 violent crimes in India in the past year, 2,28,650 were against women," it said quoting the official statistics. "The actual number, however, can be much higher, since many women are reluctant to report attacks to the police," it said.
According to Russia Today TV channel, since the news of the brutal gangrape in December, almost 300 Delhi women have applied for gun licences. Some 1,200 more have called the licensing department to inquire how to obtain one. Hundreds turned up at the police department seeking permission to get a gun for self-defence, it said quoting the Delhi Police.
Even during the visit of President Vladimir Putin on December 24, members of the media accompanying the Russian President widely reported about the India-Russia summit being held in the shadow of the unprecedented and spontaneous protests by the youths and students over the brutal gangrape case.
The continuing protests forced the Indian authorities to change the venue of the summit talks from Hyderabad House to the Prime Minister's residence at 7, Race Course Road, Russian print and electronic media reported, stressing the police crackdown on crowds protesting at India Gate against the gangrape to sanitise the area and clear the entire zone of protesters on the eve of the Putin's visit to India.
"Riots in the Indian capital forced Russian President Vladimir Putin to reschedule his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Initially the talks were to be held in the government building (Hyderabad House), but because the protests mostly raged in front of it, Putin and Singh held talks at the Prime Minister's residence," wrote Russian daily newspaper Izvestia.
The paper also praised Singh for pledging to take effective measures soon to protect the rights of women and prevent violence against women.
"Unfortunately, reports of gang assaults on fair sex are not uncommon in India. However, this time the public's patience seems to have run out," it said.
"The police have managed to detain six thugs who gangraped the girl and almost beat her boyfriend to death. The people took to the streets and demanded that the authorities not only hang the perpetrators but also make the punishment for such crimes stricter," it reported.
Russian media also praised the bravery and courage of the victim's 28-year-old boyfriend who despite being seriously injured tried to protect and save the girl from the rapists and managed to pull her aside from under the wheels of the bus just in time.

A Nonparametric Geostatistical Method For Estimating Species Importance
Parametric statistical methods are not always appropriate for conducting spatial analyses of forest inventory data. Parametric geostatistical methods such as variography and kriging are essentially averaging procedures, and thus can be affected by extreme values. Furthermore, non normal distributions violate the assumptions of analyses in which test statistics are...

Building capacity for providing canopy cover and canopy height at FIA plot locations using high-resolution imagery and leaf-off LiDAR
Tree canopy cover and canopy height information are essential for estimating volume, biomass, and carbon; defining forest cover; and characterizing wildlife habitat. The amount of tree canopy cover also influences water quality and quantity in both rural and urban settings. Tree canopy cover and canopy height are currently collected at FIA plots either in the field or...
