OTTAWA — Canada on Saturday blocked bulk exports of prescription drugs if they would create a shortage at home, in response to outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to allow imports from Canada to lower some drug prices for Americans.
"Certain drugs intended for the Canadian market are prohibited from being distributed for consumption outside of Canada if that sale would cause or worsen a drug shortage," Health Minister Patty Hajdu said in a statement.

"Companies will now also be required to provide information to assess existing or potential shortages, when requested, and within 24 hours if there is a serious or imminent health risk," the statement said.

The Canadian measure went into effect on Friday, just days before a U.S. "Importation Prescription Drugs" rule that would eventually allow licensed U.S. pharmacists or wholesalers to import in bulk certain prescription drugs intended for the Canadian market.
Neither the White House nor the Department of Health and Human Services had an immediate response to a request for comment.
Trump touted the plan in his first debate with President-elect Joe Biden, who has also said during his campaign that he would set up a similar import plan to try to reduce prescription drug costs for Americans.

"Canada is a small market, representing 2 per cent of global drug sales, that sources 68 per cent of its drugs internationally. The need for vigilance in maintaining the national drug supply continues," the statement said.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in September he was willing to help other nations with pharmaceutical supplies if possible, adding that his priority was protecting the needs of Canadians.
Many of Canada's drug suppliers opposed Trump's plan, saying it could lead to shortages.

Canada approves first HIV self-test to reduce screening barriers

Federal regulators have approved the first HIV self-test in Canada in a long-awaited move that experts say is critical to diagnosing people who don't know they have the virus.
Health Canada granted a medical device licence on Monday to a one-minute, finger-prick blood test manufactured by Richmond, B.C.-based bioLytical Laboratories.
Canada approves first HIV self-test to reduce screening barriers Back to video
While researchers and community organizers have welcomed the move, some say regulatory approval only marks the first step toward an accessible HIV self-testing strategy.
Canada follows dozens of other countries that have adopted HIV self-testing technology, which has been endorsed by the World Health Organization as a tool to reduce the number of undetected infections.
As of 2016, there were more than 63,000 Canadians living with HIV, one in seven of whom were unaware of their condition, according to estimates by the Public Health Agency of Canada. The agency has reported a rise in HIV diagnoses in Canada in recent years, counting 2,561 new cases in 2018. In contrast, other G7 countries have largely seen a downward trend in infections.
Dr. Sean Rourke, who led a clinical trial that regulators assessed as part of their review of bioLytical's self-test kit, said the approval could be the "missing piece" to reaching the roughly 9,000 people in Canada with undiagnosed HIV, allowing them to access life-extending treatment and preventing further transmission of the disease.
"It opens up some incredible doors," said Rourke, a scientist with the Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
"We've had for a number of years traditional opportunities for testing … but self-testing allows people to test at home or where they live."
According to bioLytical, the INSTI HIV Self Test is more than 99% accurate compared to traditional laboratory results. The question was whether people would understand how to use it, said Rourke.
He helped launch a study in August 2019 involving roughly 700 participants at four sites across Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba to assess whether users could follow the test's instructions and accurately interpret the results.
The findings, which are being reviewed for publication, suggest that more than 92% of participants successfully performed the "critical" steps to complete the test, which involves drawing a drop of blood and mixing it with solutions.
BioLytical's chief scientific officer Michelle Zaharik said the research indicates the self-test is accessible to people of all backgrounds in all parts of Canada. The device's instructions have been tweaked to further reduce room for user error, she said.
Zaharik said the next step will be sitting down with stakeholders and government officials to determine a strategy to bring the product to market.
The diagnostics company is also working with U.S. regulators in hopes of making the device available on both sides of the border, said Zaharik.
While she couldn't pinpoint a price, Zaharik said bioLytical is aiming for the self-test to be "affordable and accessible" for every Canadian.
Rourke said the rollout couldn't come soon enough as the COVID-19 crisis has heightened the hurdles that prevent people from getting tested. Many clinics have closed during the crisis, compounding concerns about access to health services, travel and wait times and the stigmatization of high-risk behaviours, he said.
According to roughly 300 front-line providers he surveyed in August and September, the pandemic has cut access to clinical HIV testing services nearly in half.
He's teaming up with community organizations to launch a telehealth program in January that will distribute 60,000 free self-tests and connect people with care providers.
But Rourke said Canada needs to establish a national self-testing strategy for the technology to help fill the gaps in the health system that have left many populations without access to HIV testing.
"There needs to be a stronger voice that it's not acceptable in Canada, when you have the science that we have for HIV and the treatments, that we don't do what we can to make sure everyone has access to them."
Dr. Nitika Pant Pai, a researcher at the McGill University Health Centre, said if other countries' rollouts are any indication, users end up paying a premium when there's only one HIV self-test on the shelves.
In the U.S., an over-the-counter oral HIV self-test can retail for as much as US$40, said Pant Pai, noting this price point would be out of reach for many of the marginalized populations at higher risk for HIV.
To remove potential financial barriers, Pant Pai said government authorities will either need to subsidize the cost of self-test kits, or approve more devices to make the market more competitive.
"This is a historic first, but then we are looking forward to pushing more self-tests and point-of-care tests so more people can get access to it," she said.
Doris Peltier, a publicly disclosed HIV-positive Anishinaabe advocate who works with the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network, said she's hopeful self-tests will alleviate some of the stigma Indigenous people face in getting screened for HIV. But she said the strategy will only work if it's coupled with a commensurate effort to provide culturally sensitive care.
Even if they know their status, systemic discrimination in health care can prevent Indigenous people with HIV from accessing treatment, said Peltier, so authorities need to build a "safety net" to support those who may fall through the cracks.
Francisco Ibanez-Carrasco, a community-based researcher at University of Toronto, cautions that innovation tends to bring about unforeseen complications.
For self-testing to be effective, it needs to be integrated into a broader campaign to educate community groups and the public at large about how these devices should be used, and how they're linked to other advances in HIV care.
But as the pandemic strains public health resources, Ibanez-Carrasco wonders if HIV self-testing will get the public messaging push it needs.
"It's like any other tool, like a pill, or even when we have a vaccination for COVID," he said. "It still needs to be wrapped around health promotion … so people understand what to do with it."

Sometimes, child protection authorities become involved with families where there is violence.
Depending on where you live, the agency may be called the Children's Aid Society (CAS), Child and Family Services or perhaps something else.
There are some specialized agencies that work with Indigenous families. Toronto has several child protection agencies, including Jewish Family & Child and the Catholic Children's Aid Society of Toronto.
In Ontario, the Child and Youth Family Services Act gives child protection agencies their power and authority.
Agencies are responsible for receiving and investigating reports of possible child abuse and neglect, providing services to families that need assistance in the protection and care of their children, arranging for children to live with kin or with foster families when they are not safe at home and arranging for family reunification when that is appropriate.
The legislation requires anyone who has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is or may be "in need of protection" to report those concerns to a child welfare agency.
A child in need of protection is defined as a child who is or who appears to be suffering from neglect and/or physical, sexual and/or emotional harm.
"In need of protection" can include children who have been exposed to violence directed at their mother by her partner.

Battle of the Atlantic | Acting Lieutenant Commander James Rudman WHITAKER - Royal Australia Navy Volunteer Reserves WW2.
With the Battle of the Atlantic hanging in the balance, it was necessary to have the best men and equipment sent to Liverpool, the headquarters of the Western Approaches Command.
It is arguable that by June 1943, Acting Lieutenant Commander James Rudman WHITAKER, upon deployment to Western Approaches Command as Staff Officer Anti-Submarine reporting to Admiral Horton, was one of Britain's leading Anti-Submarine warfare experts.
James Whitaker born in Britain and was living in Australia when he joined the Royal Australia Navy Volunteer Reserves in February 1939 in the lead up to WW2. He was assigned to the Royal Navy in 1941 and did convoy duties on HMS Gleaner and HMS Loosestrife. He was the Acting Lieutenant Commander at HMS Osprey in charge of Anti-submarine training before transferring to Western Approaches Command in June 1943 as Staff Officer Anti-Submarines.
The on-line history records for James Whitaker are silent. It is possible that Britain hasn't recorded his contribution because he was in the Australian Navy and the Australian Navy because he served with the Royal Navy. Fortunately the original records still exist so his contribution can now be acknowledged.
This story was written so his memory would not be lost to the future generations of his family.

Stochastic is a momentum oscillator. Since momentum tends to change direction before price, the stochastic oscillator is considered a 'leading indicator'.
The stochastic is plotted as two lines: %K (called the fast line) and the %D (called the slow line). %D is a moving average of %K and so %K is more sensitive than %D. The default periods used to calculate the stochastic are 14,3, 3 where 14 is the period used to calculate the %K line, the second parameter is a smoothing factor and the last parameter is the number of periods used calculate %D. The sensitivity of the indicator to market movements can be varied by adjusting the time periods used in the calculations. Use shorter periods to make the indicator more sensitive and increase trading signals; or increase the period parameters to reduce sensitivity and produce fewer (but more reliable) trading signals.
The oscillator values fluctuate in a range between 0 and 100, and as such the indicator can be readily used to identify overbought and oversold levels. Readings above 80 occur when the market is trading near the top of its recent price range. Readings below 20 occur when the market is trading near the bottom of its recent price range.
In a non-trending sideways-moving range bound market, technical analysts would consider a market overbought if the stochastic reading is above 80; and oversold if the stochastic is below 20. The indicator can remain above 80 and below 20 for some time, so it is generally suggested to wait for the stochastic to reverse before making a trade. A buy signal is generated if the stochastic moves up out of the oversold zone, crossing back above 20. A sell signal is generated when the stochastic moves down out of the overbought zone, falling back below 80.
On the other hand, in a trending market that is consistently making higher highs (or lower lows), stochastic readings above 80 (or below 20) are to be expected. A move above 80 followed by a reversal is not necessarily a sell signal if the bigger trend is bullish. By the same token, a move below 20 followed by a reversal is not necessarily a buy signal if the overall trend is bearish. When using stochastics, it is therefore important to determine the overall trend and trade in the direction of that trend. Ignore bearish overbought readings in an up-trending market. Ignore bullish oversold readings in a downtrending market.
Another method of using the stochastic is to trade when the stochastic %K line crosses the stochastic %D line. %K crossing above the %D is interpreted as a buy signal; whereas %K crossing below the %D is interpreted as a sell signal. Crossovers which occur above 80 (in the overbought zone) or below the 20 (in the oversold zone) tend to be more reliable signals than those occurring between the 20 to 80 levels. Crossovers can provide choppy signals, so should be considered with alternative indicators for confirmation.
A third method of using the indicator is to trade price / stochastic divergences - this is where the trend of the market's price doesn't agree with the trend of the stochastic and provides an indication that the current trend may be near ending. This method works on the assumption that when a divergence occurs between an indicator and price, the price generally changes direction to confirm the trend shown by the indicator.
Remember, the stochastic is a momentum indicator. Where price is in an uptrend and making new highs but the stochastic is failing to make new highs, this implies the price is running out of momentum and a price reversal is due. In such a situation, the stochastic falling below 50 would provide confirmation of the reversal and act as a sell signal.
Where price is in a downtrend (making new lows) but the stochastic forms a higher low, this implies that upside momentum is increasing and a price reversal is due. In such a situation, the stochastic rising above 50 would provide confirmation of the reversal and act as a buy signal.
%K Periods - the number of periods used to calculate the stochastic value.
%K Slowing Periods - the slowing periods is used to smooth the stochastic value by summing the Stochastic typically over the last 1 to 3 periods. 1 is considered a fast stochastic and 3 is considered a slow stochastic.

Article November 1, 2020 Executive Director's Message by Carolyn Coleman
Bold Approaches and New Ideas to Solve Old Problems
I am humbled and honored to be leading the League at this defining moment in the nation's history. Cities and city leaders face unparalleled hurdles — an unrelenting global pandemic, devastating wildfires, heat waves, power outages, and pandemic-induced budget shortfalls that are jeopardizing core city services — all of this while deafening cries for equity and justice ring out from the streets of our nation.
In response, cities have been leading the way, acting quickly to protect their residents from the virus, supporting those affected by stay-at-home orders and business closures, and providing assistance to struggling businesses and families who have fallen behind on rent or mortgage payments. They are also taking concrete actions to evaluate, reimagine, and reform our institutions to ensure local government systems are equitable and just.
As a Black woman, issues of race, equity, and justice are deeply personal for me and have been part of a recurring narrative of systemic inequity for a majority of my life. These issues are fueling the many diverse voices calling for change that we hear loudly today. It is inspiring to stand alongside California's local leaders who are, to borrow from Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, "challenging the status quo with bold approaches and new ideas to solve old problems."
The League's mission includes not only advocating for the common interests of cities, but also helping city leaders lead on challenging issues their communities face by providing education and resources that focus on promising strategies and new solutions. Just as the League pivoted to help city leaders navigate through the pandemic, wildfires, and power shutoffs, we are also pivoting to support leaders as they take action to advance equity in their communities.
This special issue of Western City highlights efforts to disrupt systemic inequities in city institutions and policies and replace them with systems that are inclusive and fair. Advancing Racial Equity in Local Government provides an introduction to the National League of Cities' Race, Equity, And Leadership (REAL) initiative and shares four proven city strategies to help city leaders lead in addressing racial inequity in their communities.
This special issue also profiles several California cities that are driving meaningful and deliberate change within their cities to ensure equitable access to city services. In 2017, the City of Long Beach created an Office of Equity dedicated to improving equity, community health, and safety for those most underserved in its communities (see Long Beach Launches Office of Equity to Engage, Educate, and Serve). In July 2020, the City of South San Francisco launched the Mayor's Commission on Racial and Social Equity to explore how best to deliver improved services in mental health, education, policing, policies and practices, and social services (see South San Francisco Develops Equity Solutions Tailored to the Community). And the City of Salinas developed a community-driven plan to better serve people living in a neighborhood that was underserved and neglected for decades (see Alisal Vibrancy Plan Addresses Equity Issues in Salinas). The Alisal Vibrancy Plan is the result of years of visioning, community organizing, and relationship building between the city and Alisal residents, and focuses on improving outreach to the community and removing barriers that these residents often faced when interacting with city government. The plan was officially unveiled in early 2020.
These stories represent only a handful of examples of city leadership in advancing equity in their communities. California cities are also embedding equity in their budgeting processes. Bloomberg Philanthropies recently selected 30 cities nationwide, including Chula Vista, Oakland, and Stockton, to participate in the City Budgeting for Equity and Recovery program, a new effort that will help cities confront budget crises while strengthening their commitment to equity in the wake of COVID-19.
As city leaders take the lead to root out systemic inequities in their communities, the League will support their efforts with new tools and resources that will include access to experts, technical assistance, articles, peer networking opportunities, and educational sessions at League convenings. For those who missed the League's August webinar, Advancing Racial Equity: An Introduction, you can find a recording of it on the League website. If you happened to miss one of several sessions on race and equity featured at the League's 2020 Annual Conference & Expo in October, not to worry — those who registered for the conference have access to all of the recorded sessions until April 6, 2021. Visit www.cacities.org/advancingequity to find the links.
This is only the beginning. We truly hope you enjoy this special issue. In the coming months, the League looks forward to helping empower and equip local officials with tools to address and heal inequities in their communities.

Ibsen's beginnings are more obscure than one might expect for someone of his stature. One reason for this obscurity is that his early ears were spent in small towns. He was born in 1828 in Skien, a town of about 2500 residents on the southeastern coast of Norway, and he lived there until he was 15 years old. In late December of 1843 he moved to Grimstad, a smaller town about 7 miles farther down the coast, where he lived for six years, until April 1850, when, at the age of 22, he moved to the Norwegian capital, Christiania (Oslo).


Many of you are probably familiar with the term Sustainable Development, but what does it actually mean?
The human population on Planet Earth is growing exponentially. We're at 7.7 BILLION people right now, and set to hit 9.7 BILLION people by the year 2050.
How do we feed, house, and take care of 2 billion more people in the next 31 years? The only possibility is through sustainable development.
In short, it's necessary to further develop our planet in order to support so many people – but if we destroy nature entirely, then we will only survive in the short term.
We need to achieve economic development, but without destroying the foundation of life on Earth.
Firstly, we need to properly account for the services we receive from a healthy environment. And we need to hold those who destroy nature through their business practices accountable.
Provisioning services – Any benefit we extract from nature. Ex: Food, clean water, oil.
Regulating services – Any benefit that moderates natural phenomena. Ex: Pollination, decomposition, flood control.
Cultural services – Any non-material benefit that contributes to the development and cultural advancement of people.
Supporting services – Fundamental natural processes such as photosynthesis which sustain ecosystems themselves.
Unfortunately, these benefits we receive from nature aren't always properly accounted for in economic development. This under-values the importance of healthy ecosystems.
Externalities are on the opposite end of the equation. When a businesses' operations harm nature, we refer to the harm done as an Externality of doing business. An example would be a business which pollutes a nearby waterway as a result of its operation. Or an example on a larger scale – companies that pollute excess amounts of CO2 into our Earth's atmosphere.
Many businesses today are not held accountable for their externalities, which harm society as a whole. The result is that their operating costs are cheaper than they really should be.
In short, to achieve sustainable development we need to value nature, and reveal the true cost of doing businesses. We cannot continue to ignore mankind's impact on the natural world, and put our impacts off to future generations.

To all of the mothers shuttling their kids to sports practices, finding tutors, and even more importantly, building their children up, reinforcing their confidence, and helping them discover who they are along the way, a very happy Mother's Day!
As the competition to earn admission to many of the most selective universities in the US skyrockets, we are confronted with the present reality: many students need support to earn admission. Colleges now seek specialists to build a well-rounded class. Student do not need to excel in every field they are involved with. To the parents reading this, remind your children to focus on what matters most in this process: their passions. Not only will this help them stand out, it will provide students a reason for working so hard to earn admission.
As the norm for staying up later and later each night to work on homework becomes more prevalent, remind your children that in college, students take four or five classes a term, and it is not necessary to take six college level classes each semester in high school to get into their dream college.
As students search for some magic bullet and confront the pitfalls of group think, remind them to forge their own path in this process. Admissions officers value unique perspective and want to understand what makes each applicant tick as part of the admissions process. Encourage your child to tailor the college admissions process to their personal growth. This will make the entire process more rewarding and result in more authentic and compelling applications.
Finally, as students are bombarded with homework, sports practices, music lessons, community service commitments, and all the other pressures of being a teenager, help them prioritize what matters the most at each stage in this process. Serve as a sanity check for a stressful process and provide guidance when needed.
Thank you for being your children's biggest advocates in this process.

REGION — While the end of summer is more than a month away, most people may have become more acclimated to the warm temperatures. However, it is not the same for animals. Dog owners are being asked to stay diligent in keeping their pets safe.
"Because we are so connected to our pets, it is easy to forget that they are not just like us and are actually more sensitive to summertime dangers than we are," said Jessica Gercke, Helen Woodward Animal Center spokeswoman.
For Kim Boyle, DVM, DACVECC, whose specialty is in veterinary emergency and critical care at California Veterinary Specialists in Carlsbad, a few summertime points bear repeating.

Abstract Background: Organisms living at high altitudes face low oxygen and temperature conditions; thus, the genetic mechanisms underlying the adaptations in these organisms merit investigation. The glyptosternoid fish, Creteuchiloglanis macropterus mainly inhabits regions with gradual increases in altitudes along the Nujiang River and might serve as an appropriate evolutionary model for detecting adaptation processes in environments with altitude changes.

Q: Best way to map Object ID References? I'm writing an application where I have many objects (data models) that are identified by a unique String ID that every such object possesses and these objects can refer to each other by their IDs.
So far so good but now I need to keep track of which object keeps a reference to another object and of course there are cases where an object references (or is referenced by) more than one other object and I was wondering what would be the best method to store these references? In a simple map data structure I could just map one object's ID to another but as mentioned there are cases where an object can hold a ref to an arbitrary amount of other objects. Or I could map another map or an Array that hold more than one reference but I'd like to prevent iteration and maybe somebody knows a much better solution for this.

A: I guess it depends a lot in the particular use, but I think a Dictionary is the way to go, unless you need the order of the references, in which case I think an Array (or Vector) should work...
//Array:
object1.references.push(object2);
for each(var o in object1.references) trace(o);
object1.references.pop();

//Dictionary:
object1.references[object2] = 1;
for (var o in object1.references) trace(o);
delete object1.references[object2];

Whenever you have a dynamic arbitrary set of objects, I think you will necessarily need to iterate through them, whether its an array, object or dictionary.

To a child, therapy may not sound fun. But when therapy is enjoyable, kids don't even know they are working! At A Bright Start, Christina makes pediatric therapy feel like playtime. With activities and toys, Christina treats dozens of movement delays and disorders with early intervention and sensory integration.
As a teacher, Brianne has an eye for people who know how to instruct — and for people who know how to work with children.
"She's not just an awesome therapist; she's a mom," says Brianne, whose son has gone to Christina for pediatric therapy since he was just four months old. "She knows how to make it enjoyable."
Christina works hard to set a scene which calms nerves and encourages children to relax.
"It's very settling for young kids to come see Christina," says Brianne, who doesn't tell her son when it's time to attend therapy. "It's time to go play at Christina's!" she says instead. "He loves it. Christina plays music, sings songs, and plays games with him. They have fun."
With extensive training in pediatric health, anatomy and physiology, psychology, and child development, Christina is thoroughly qualified to provide individualized care to any infant, child, or adolescent in need of physical therapy.
Above all, she loves children and their families.
"She always has the kids in mind," says Brianne. "She even keeps an eye out for new equipment that will help my son."
Christina also makes it a priority to continue her education and attends trainings throughout the year.
"She covers it all," says Brianne. "She is very professional and very easy to talk to."
Most important to Brianne, her son enjoys visiting Christina. "He looks forward to it. It's more playing for him than working."

New Sitcom 'Unapologetically Embraces' Asian-American Family Life

Heard on Tell Me More
Fresh Off the Boat will be one of the first network sitcoms in decades to feature an Asian-American cast. Critic Jeff Yang, whose son plays the lead, talks with host Michel Martin.
Now, I want to talk more about one of the shows that Eric just mentioned earlier a few minutes ago. It's a sitcom recently announced by ABC. It will be the first network family sitcom in two decades to feature an Asian-American cast. It's called "Fresh Off The Boat."
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "FRESH OFF THE BOAT")
HUDSON YANG: (As Eddie) Me - my American dream is to fit in.
CONSTANCE WU: (As Jessica) Why do all your shirts have black men on them?
H. YANG: (As Eddie) It's Notorious B.I.G.
BRADY TUTTON: (As Brock) You into B.I.G?
H. YANG: (As Eddie) Yeah, man.
TUTTON: (As Brock) Come sit with us. Ugh, what is that?
H. YANG: (As Eddie) It's Chinese food.
TUTTON: (As Brock) Get it out of here. Ying Ding's eating worms.
H. YANG: (As Eddie) I need white people lunch.
MARTIN: That young voice you hear repping Biggie is Eddie. That lead role is played by 10-year-old Hudson Yang. He happens to be the son of one of our regular contributors, Jeff Yang, who writes about media for The Wall Street Journal. And Jeff is with us now. Welcome back. Congratulations.
JEFF YANG: Thank you.
MARTIN: I know, right? Just hearing the trailer makes you laugh, right?
J. YANG: It's so through the looking glass.
MARTIN: So the show is based off the memoir of celebrity chef Eddie Huang. It's also called "Fresh Off The Boat." So tell us - for people who haven't read the memoir, which is also hilarious - what's the show about?
J. YANG: So the show is about - it's basically a childhood memoir for Eddie himself. I mean, he looks back at being raised by immigrant parents in a very non-immigrant setting, shall we say. His family moves from urban Washington, D.C. - Chinatown, Washington, D.C., down to suburban Orlando. And it's really, as much as anything else, about what it's like to be surrounded by a world you did not create. So it's a bit of a fish-out-of-water thing. But I think what's really fascinating about it is the degree to which the tropes that this show has feel so decidedly different from other sitcom comedies - family sitcoms, that are out there right now.
MARTIN: Well, you were saying - you said in your piece and you've said to us that even if your son were not the lead, you would still think this was a game-changer. And tell me why you think that.
J. YANG: You know, I am radically un-objective about the show as you might guess.
MARTIN: Full disclosure - we got you. But still, but still, but you - the fact is this is -you watch all of these things. I mean, you are a critic, a writer, you know.
J. YANG: So what I think is really fundamentally different about this show in particular, is this is in a lot of ways the first Asian-American sitcom and maybe certainly the first Asian-American family sitcom - there have only been two, really - that is unapologetic about its status as an Asian-American show - as a show that deals with and confronts a lot of the issues around, you know, kind of being other in the context of the United States. And even the title, which obviously has been controversial in some circles, is one that speaks to this almost, you know, embrace of a refusal to just thoroughly assimilate.
MARTIN: Well, you know, the other thing you compared - you compared it to the '90s sitcom "All-American Girl," which also featured an Asian-American cast. That was the first and to this point - until now - the only. The lead was comedian Margaret Cho. And I just want to play a short clip to jog people's memories.
(SOUNDBITE OF SHOW, "ALL-AMERICAN GIRL")
MARGARET CHO: (As Margaret Kim) I have a date with Kyle.
JODI LONG: (As Katherine Kim) Kyle? You're not still seeing him. Oh, I don't like him.
CHO: (As Margaret Kim) You don't have to like him. He's dating me.
LONG: (As Katherine Kim) He's wrong for you.
CHO: (As Margaret Kim) I'm not going to get into this, mom.
CLYDE KUSATSU: (As Benny Kim) Oh, good for you Margaret. For once we can have a nice family meal without you and your mother -
CHO: (As Margaret Kim) OK. Why is he wrong for me? And I hope you've got something better than he's not Korean.
LONG: (As Katherine Kim) I do. He's American.
CHO: (Laughing) Oh, well. I've got news for you mom.
MARTIN: Well, you know, you panned the show when it came out - not the only person to do so. What was wrong with it? I mean, what is it that you feel that they got so wrong that you hope this show gets right?
J. YANG: So this is kind of my karma on some level. Twenty years ago I was the television critic for the Village Voice. And I did in fact pan this show almost reluctantly on some level. There was a lot of hope, a lot of expectation around this first opportunity for Asian-Americans to be represented in this most American, most masse, if you will, of television categories. And it just - it was so - I mean, it's called "All-American Girl," right? And it was so almost defensively kind of reiterating these tropes around how Asians are different and exotic and kind of strange. And it took Margaret Cho's humor, which takes those things and tends to subvert them and kind of play them out at the edges and turned them into as you can hear a laugh-track, multi-camera, you know, very if you will, white family sitcom kind of template. And it just ran - it sounded wrong. It ran wrong and felt very much like the butt of the jokes was the family itself.
MARTIN: You felt, like you said in your piece - you said the humor was actually - it seemed that people were laughing at them, not with them. And it also seemed that Margaret had just been - gosh, what word did you use - tranquilized or something like that? I mean, I think she's made no secret of her unhappiness at that experience. I think she's said it's one of the worst experiences of her life.
J. YANG: Yeah. It centered on this crazy downward spiral. And, I mean, you know, it was not only obviously a terrible, terrible thing for her, but in a broader sense, it sent us wandering in the wilderness for about 20 years when it comes to this particular kind of comedy. There's not been anything since, right, until now.
MARTIN: But Asian people have had - people of Asian heritage have had some strong roles in other vehicles. But they didn't feature, you know - they've been featured places -like for example Sandra Oh in "Grey's Anatomy" and in "Lost." And people have had sort of meaty roles in diverse casts. But this the first time that this family is going to be front and center and their experiences will be front and center. So what do you - what do you - you've seen it so far - from what you've seen so far - what do you think that they get right that will make people want to watch? And not just people who've really resonate with that particular experience, but the broad audience that you really need to be successful?
J. YANG: Well, it is a universal story, as they say, because it's about a family. And it's about a family kind of growing together as they face, you know, the sort of challenges of the world around them. But I think what's actually really exceptional about this - and you can even tell again - the name of Margaret's show was "All-American Girl." This one is called "Fresh Off The Boat." That fresh-off-the-boat is something that the, you know, family itself embraces kind of unapologetically. And Eddie - Eddie Huang, who has used fresh-off-the-boat kind of as his brand for the past decade or so - everything he does is fresh-off-the-boat. He says it's about this love of where he comes from, this decision that he can be American, but he doesn't want to just be American. There's something deeper. And he's not afraid of essentially calling out where his roots come from, where his identity is. That's new for Asian-Americans. I mean, that's something I think we don't see a lot of.
MARTIN: Well, let me ask you about one other element, though. We heard in the trailer that his mom's asking him that - his TV mom is asking him how come all his shirts have black people on them. Is that piece that - not the trifecta - not just the Asian-white dynamic, but the Asian-black-white dynamic part of the show, too? And is it going to be the kind of thing that's going to make me cringe?
J. YANG: (Laughing) I hope not. But there definitely is - there's definitely a sense in which for Eddie, as with a lot of kids growing up in the '90s, hip-hop ended up being kind of a lifeline. I mean, you know, here he was. He had immigrant parents whom he loved but who didn't understand him fully. And he's surrounded by, certainly in Orlando, kids who didn't get him for being Asian. Hip-hop - it's really fascinating. There's a scene actually in the lunch room of their school in which basically these white kids and Eddie bond over their mutual love of hip-hop, where this African-American kid says, what is going on here? But that was a real thing, right?
MARTIN: It was a real thing. Well, we'll see. We'll see. Good luck. Congratulations. Hopefully it all goes up from here and not down. And good luck to your son and tell him congratulations from us. We'll be watching.
J. YANG: Thank you, Michel.
MARTIN: That was Jeff Yang, columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Thanks, Jeff.
J. YANG: Take care.
MARTIN: And that's our program for today. You're listening to TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Let's talk more tomorrow.

Q: Selenium code not compiling with Jenkins, but works with Maven It might sound weird but my situation is that my code is not able to compile when I run it via Jenkins. Though it runs perfectly fine using command line with Maven.
Error is

The holidays are approaching fast! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, which means Christmas is right around the corner. I've got a gorgeous, simple ornament tutorial for you today that I think you're going to love. These glitter die-cut ornaments are not only beautiful decor for your own tree, they make great gifts or tie-ons to your wrapped packages. I have to give credit where it's due; while the actual project idea was mine, these beauties were created and photographed by my 17 year old intern Emmy, who was with me all last week. She did an absolutely unbelievable job…I think you'll agree! Take a look.
Step 1: Paint the surface of the ornament using acrylic or multi-surface paint.
You can certainly paint the entire thing the same color, but Emmy wanted to go for an ombre effect, so she used a few different shades of blue. Let your paint dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Working in small sections, apply Mod Podge to the surface of the ornament and immediately sprinkle it with glitter.
Once again, you can certainly do this all with the same color, but ours is a mixture of four different shades of blue glitter.
Isn't it gorgeous? I think this one is my favorite. It's up to you whether you paint and glitter both sides of your ornament or just the front. Emmy insisted on doing the backs too because ornaments turn, and it certainly did make them extra beautiful.
That's all there is to the process; just paint, add Mod Podge, and sprinkle glitter on top! Once it's dry, it's ready to display! A good pro tip to keep in mind is to do your glittering over a piece of paper, then form it into a funnel and return the excess to the container.
Each of the ornaments was created in the same way, just using different colors and shapes. Here is the Christmas tree. The bottom section is the darkest green, the center is a mix of dark and light, and the top uses light green glitter.
We decided on a metallic theme for the large snowflake, so Emmy used three different shades of gold and bronze paint/glitter.
Finally, here's the small red snowflake made with three shades of red.
I knew from the start that they'd be pretty, but even I wasn't prepared for how breathtakingly gorgeous they are. In person, they sparkle and shimmer even more. And they're so easy to create! The ornaments themselves cost less than $2 which makes them a very affordable gift idea for a teacher or neighbor, or a very pretty tie-on to any package. Which one is your favorite?


And then every year I try to remember why I pick the flavor of the month as my free drink because I can barely finish it. This month's slurpee flavor is Fanta Lemon Crème and like most slurpee flavors, it's disgusting despite being billed as the perfect combination of sweet and tart. It amazes me that they come out with all these flavors yet they always seem to taste so similar. I thought by some fluke I might get a funky lemonade vibe, but no, it's much more of a twisted orange cream flavor with just less orange and more... iunno, I don't taste lemon at all so I don't know what they mixed with it. It doesn't even smell like lemons. To be honest, I don't know if I should drink it or wash my hands with it because it smells like soap.
Despite this terrible slurpee (which I did manage to finish), I still wish 7/11 a happy 85th birthday.
at least it was free!
You really can't go wrong with a Coca-Cola Slurpee. It is one of the greatest things ever made.
T.G.I.W.F. - look, I made a new acronym!
