Q: How to parse big excel files in nodejs (electron) I need to convert some excel files (xlsx and xls) to CSVs. I've tried using node-xlsx and SheetJS but neither seem to be able to parse a 50 mb file. I get no errors but execution hangs on parsing.
Below is my current code using SheetJS
  console.log("CONVERTING", inputFile);
  const outputFile = path.format({
    ...path.parse(inputFile),
    base: "",
    ext: ".csv",
  });
  const data = fs.readFileSync(inputFile);
  console.log("READ FINISHED")
  const workBook = XLSX.read(data, { type: 'buffer' });
  console.log("PARSE FINISHED");
  XLSX.writeFile(workBook, outputFile, { bookType: "csv" });
  console.log("FINISHED", outputFile);

It never gets to "PARSE FINISHED".

Nothing in politics has been more perversely entertaining than the endless attempts by tinfoil-hatted conservatives to hype Benghazi as an historic scandal. For several years they've tried to pump air into that perpetually flat tire – and now it's flat again.
Remember Benghazi? Ballyhooed by the infauxtainment complex as something bigger than Watergate? The deadly terrorist episode in Libya which the Obama administration supposedly tried to spin as a mere street protest, so that it wouldn't look soft on terrorism on the eve of Obama's re-election? The place where four Americans died supposedly because the Obama regime blocked rescue efforts by issuing a stand-down order?
Most Americans moved on long ago, but the GOP's investigatory wheels have kept spinning. And late Friday – in a classic news dump, Friday afternoon being the traditional time when the news cycle is slowest – the GOP-controlled House Intelligence Committee finally released its exhaustive report. After two years of sleuthing, after reading thousands of pages of classified documents and holding nearly 20 hearings, care to guess what the panel found, in terms of Obama administration wrongdoing?
Bear in mind that the Republicans signed off on these findings: The Obama team didn't get any advance warning of an organized terrorist attack. During the violence, the Obama team worked as best it could, in real time, with "piecemeal" and "conflicting" intelligence, so naturally some of its earliest public remarks (like national security adviser Susan Rice's on Sunday TV) were flawed. Yet even when it wasn't yet clear that terrorists were involved in the attack, President Obama explicitly stated in his Sept. 12 Rose Garden appearance that "terrorism" was a factor (the GOP-led report approvingly points this out). And there was no politicized effort, by the White House or the intelligence community, to cover up terrorist evidence after the incident.
But alas, for those who breathe rumor and innuendo, for those who eschew empirical facts and hew instead to blind belief, there is no such thing as moving on.
And yet, despite that consensus verdict, a verdict now vetted by the House Intelligence Committee, the fever on the right will not abate. Sen. Lindsey Graham was on TV yesterday, denouncing the report authored by his fellow Republicans as "a piece of crap." Fox News predictably muzzled the key findings (read this propaganda dispatch; you'd never know that Obama got cleared on the stand-down claim). Plus, we'll soon have a seventh probe, this time by the "special" committee that House Republicans created earlier this year. Hearings are on the horizon, if only to insinuatingly link the words Benghazi and Hillary.
But hey, if this latest pursuit doesn't bear fruit, if Benghazi deflates yet again, there will always be fresh avenues for innuendo. Like, it's surely just a matter of time before someone on the right rhetorically links Barack Obama and Bill Cosby….Bingo!


Boring is a precision operation in which a hole of a given concentricity must be made in a material. However, unlike drilling, very tight tolerances (0.0001") can be maintained over long distances (24").
Dynomax utilizes Kuraki and Toshiba high precision boring mills.
Machining envelopes of 48"L x 24"H x 24"W and work pieces loads of 6600LBS are possible. Tolerance of 0.0001" are routine.
Dynomax can drill a variety of materials to suit your needs. Whether it be standard drilling will repeatable concentricity down to micro drilling by means of EDM or Laser machining - Dynomax will quickly become your preferred vendor.


Home to one of the wonders of the world, Niagara Falls is located in Canada's southeastern province, Ontario. Just across the Niagara River, which flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, is the American side of Niagara Falls. Visitors often visit both cities, as the Falls are quite different from each side, but the Canadian side is generally recognized as having more attractions. Two airports are best for reaching Niagara Falls: Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BNIA), which is about abo ut a 26 mile drive, and Toronto Pearson International Airport (GTAA), roughly 89 miles away. Many visitors arrive via tour bus, and Niagara Region Transit provides Inter-city bus service as well. The metro population is just under 400,000, and it's amazing how the area swells with visitors, especially during the warmer months.
As host to a major tourist attraction, many of Niagara Falls' activities are naturally based around its stunning Falls, and the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls can all be experienced from the Canadian site of the river. The concentration of attractions includes the natural features of the river and falls, plus Niagara Falls Canada hotels, casinos, theatres, souvenir shops and observation points, spreading out to a number of outstanding golf courses and local wineries. Niagara's downtown area is being revitalized with restaurants, galleries and boutiques.
One of the most popular things to do is to board the Maid of the Mist, a passenger boat which operates at the Falls from April – October. This is an iconic experience, often pictured with passengers wearing blue rain ponchos getting sprayed from thundering waters. Other must-do's include taking the Journey Behind the Falls and White Water Walk, both providing up-close experiences; the walkway is particularly close to world-class whitewater rapids. If you'd enjoy seeing the sights from above, you can take a glass-enclosed elevator 775 feet up to the Skylon Tower's Observation Deck, offering superlative views of the U.S. and Canada, or try an unforgettable ride on a helicopter for breathtaking vistas. We hear the view from the SkyWheel at Clifton Hill entertainment area is amazing, too! This district offers other family-friendly attractions such as a wax museum, bowling, chain eateries and shopping.
There are some easygoing things to do in Niagara Falls as well! Visitors love browsing the nearly one hundred acres of colorful delights at Niagara Botanical Gardens, where you can check out a Butterfly Conservatory and take a guided carriage tour. Every 6 or 7 weeks the displays at the Floral Showhouse change, offering themes including Easter, Christmas, geranium and chrysanthemum shows. Listening to the bells at the 165 foot tall Rainbow Tower Carillon sounds like a sweet plan, too.
Niagara Falls is always looking for ways to entertain your family. One of the most popular attractions is MarineLand, a great place to meet friendly dolphins and sea lions, plus watch cool animal shows. There are amusement park thrill rides here, such as Ride the Sky Screamer, plus lots of food options. MarineLand is open May to October. Families also enjoy Canada's favorite sport, hockey, at Gale Centre. Cheer on the Niagara Falls Canucks as they race across the ice to victory September through February. Fallsview Indoor Waterpark boasts a humongous wave pool and plenty of slippery slides, and you can enjoy a buffet and try to figure out magician Greg Frewin's magic tricks at his very own theatre – he's considered one of the best in the entire world!
Are biking and hiking your favorite ways to check out a new destination? Look no further than the Niagara River Recreation Trail, offering 35 miles of paved pathway along the Niagara River. Follow the Niagara Parks Heritage Trail to tour several of the region's most visited historic sites. Another way to enjoy the beautiful Niagara outdoors is to play one of the six courses on the Niagara Golf Trail – each course is unique and will test your skills. Speaking of testing your skills, why not head to Casino Niagara or Fallsview Casino to try your luck? These gaming sites will keep you up all night long!
Did you know Niagara has a Wine Country? Well, it does, and there are a great variety of local wineries open for tours and tastings. Many visitors are drawn to the area for annual events including the Niagara Wine Festival in September, the New Vintage Festival in June, and the Icewine Festival held in January. Another well-attended festival, one of the best Niagara offers, is the Winter Festival of Lights, held November through January, where you will see millions of twinkling lights and illuminated Disney characters. During this fest, free fireworks shows are presented at the Falls - the sight is simply unbelievable!
Did you know the Falls are illuminated each evening at dusk, sporting beautiful colors? Day or night, the photo opportunities are endless. Niagara Falls is a renowned destination for a lot of reasons, so why not begin making plans for a visit today!

Auburn's site on Cedar Creek was chosen by Wesley Park and John Badlam Howe at the intersection of two major trails, Goshen-Defiance Road and Coldwater Road, and next to the land of John Houlton. The name for the community likely came from "The Deserted Village" by Oliver Goldsmith, that begins "Sweet Auburn! Loveliest village of the plain." The plat of the Village of Auburn is dated April 21, 1836, but it was held by Howe and not recorded until March 12, 1879. John Drury purchased the first lot (Lot 73) for $25.00 on September 5, 1837. The first store was built at Park's corners by Thomas Freeman, applying for a license on March 5, 1838, and bringing supplies by horseback from Fort Wayne. Daniel Altenburg, Levi Walsworth, the Sherlock family, Samuel Sprott, David Weave, David Shoemaker, Henry Curtis, Lyman Childsey, James Cosper, and David Cosper were early residents.
A post office was established in 1839. In 1841, malaria ran through the town, and in 1843 a terrible storm wreaked havoc on cabins and crops. The Church of God was built by the Presbyterians in 1846. The Village of Auburn was incorporated in 1849, divided into wards, and governed under a town board and constable. By the end of the American Civil War, the town included over 700 inhabitants. The storm of September 29, 1872, destroyed Odd Fellow's Hall and damaged the Methodist Episcopal church. A few months later (April 6, 1873), the new brick block of Seventh Street (Snyder's Building) collapsed, also destroying the Ensley Building. Auburn water and lights was constructed in 1898. The change in status to the City of Auburn on March 26, 1900 followed a referendum. Notable citizen Charles Eckhart erected a public library and a YMCA building. The Auburn Automobile Company founded in 1900 produced its first automobile in 1903. William Wrigley, Jr. and Errett Lobban Cord controlled interests in the company that eventually acquired Duesenberg, Lexington, and Lycoming. The company failed in August 1937. The Auburn Rubber Company was started in 1913 as the Double Fabric Tire Company, making tires for Auburn Automobile Company. In the 1920s as Auburn Rubber, it became a large manufacturer of rubber toys, leaving Auburn in 1959.
Notorious bank robber John Dillinger and some accomplices raided Auburn's police station on October 14, 1933, stealing a submachine gun, two steel vests, three rifles, six pistols and over 1000 rounds of ammunition. The acts that led to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349 (1978), the leading American case on judicial immunity, took place in Auburn in 1971. On June 28, 1988, four workers were asphyxiated at a local metal-plating plant in the worst confined-space industrial accident in U.S. history; a fifth victim died two days later.
The Auburn Community Mausoleum, Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Facility, Downtown Auburn Historic District, and Eckhart Public Library and Park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, Auburn, Indiana, a National Historic Landmark that was once the headquarters and showroom of the Auburn Automobile Company.
Auburn is the location of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival, held each Labor Day weekend, and of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum and the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States. Both are National Historic Landmarks. The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival, with the annual Labor Day auction, is said to host the world's largest automotive auction.

Other museums located near Auburn include the Hoosier Air Museum, the Kruse Automotive and Carriage Museum, which includes the International Monster Truck Hall of Fame, and the World War II Victory Museum. Auburn also hosts the annual DeKalb County Free Fall Fair, a six-day event usually held in the last week of September.
Auburn was also home to early automobile company DeSoto in 1913. This company has no connection with the DeSoto that was manufactured by Chrysler.

Smartphones have become the every day go to camera of choice, especially when there are so many photo apps out there such as Instagram and SnapChat. With the demand on smartphone cameras growing, it is no surprise that innovative minds have come together to create camera lenses for our smartphones.
If you have never used a camera lens attachment for your smartphone, I suggest giving it a "shot." With the continued growth toward better and better cameras the quality photos these phones can produce is stunning. The ability to add lenses to your smartphone camera is a powerful photographic tool.
So the question is, with so many emerging options, which one do you choose? The short answer is probably not LimeLens. I even hate to say that, and here is why.
LimeLens has a quality product that is small and easy to tote around. I LOVE the caring case the lenses come it. I can toss it into my purse and not worry about loosing them or them getting scratched.
However, the lens attachment must adhere directly to the phone. This is the main reason LimeLens made it to the bottom of my smartphone lens list. Because, who has the confidence to walk around with their smartphone without a case? Let me just say, that is not me.
If LimeLens wanted to improve this, I would highly recommend them making their own smartphone case where the lenses directly screw into the case. (This would even take the guess work out of lining the lens up right.) Or, LimeLens could partner with a company to create a case for them. I think if they could allow users to use the lens while keeping their phone case on, the quality of this product would go up. Additionally there are not as many lens options as some of their competitors have. At $49.99, their price does not make up for features or the inability to use a phone case.

Il Booklet "LA CELIACHIA NELL'ETÀ PEDIATRICA E NELL'ADULTO", a cura del Board Scientifico di AIC, è un'iniziativa di informazione e sensibilizzazione rivolta ai medici di medicina generale e ai pediatri di libera scelta, generalmente la prima linea di individuazione di quelle persone, adulti e bambini, che ancora non hanno ricevuto una diagnosi di celiachia.
AIC Onlus (Italian Association for Celiac Disease) is a non-profit patient association that has been committed for over 35 years to positively changing the lives of people with celiac disease and their families. It was funded in 1979 by a few parents of children with celiac disease at a time when little was known about it, and it was considered to be a disease linked to youth. AIC is a federation composed of 20 associations across all of the Italian regions, as well as in the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano. In addition to AIC, they are part of the AIC: the Foundation for Celiac Disease (FC), which provides grants for scientific research on the disease, and the social enterprise Spiga Barrata Service (SBS), which issues the trademark featuring the image of barred grain on the packaging of products suitable for those with celiac disease, and serves as the editor of publications that AIC creates for those with the disease and their families, such as Celiachia Notizie, Prontuario degli Alimenti, and Guida Alimentazione Fuori Casa.
AIC currently has more than 40,000 members and over 1,000 volunteers, who assist in pursuing AIC's mission on a daily basis. The aim of the AIC is to allow celiacs or those with dermatitis herpetiformis to live in a comfortably through the improvement of their lifestyle, supporting the acquisition of full awareness of their condition, and the widespread diffusion of proper knowledge as regards celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis in society.
WHY CREATE A BOOKLET ON CELIAC DISEASE AND DERMATITIS HERPETIFORMIS FOR PHYSICIANS OF GENERAL MEDICINE AND PRIMARY CARE PAEDIATRICIANS?
The booklet "CELIAC DISEASE IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS" is an informational and awareness initiative aimed at general practitioners and primary care paediatricians, who are generally the first line of identification for adults and children who have yet to receive the diagnosis of celiac disease. The main training and informational objectives of the booklet for physicians of general medicine and primary care paediatricians are to promptly identify the symptoms of celiac disease (often non-classic and extra-intestinal), guide patients towards correct diagnosis (often dealing with specialists), manage diagnosed patients by monitoring their treatment (gluten-free diet) and health status through specific examinations to be performed on a periodic basis.
In Italy, approximately 400,000 people are not aware that they have celiac disease. AIC is committed to assisting currently undiagnosed cases of the disease.
The celiac iceberg: It is estimated that there are 600,000 Italians with celiac disease, which is 1% of the population of Italy.
Undiagnosed celiac disease can lead to problems such as repeated spontaneous fractures in adults, repeated miscarriage, infertility, pregnancy disorders, iron deficiency or anaemia, in addition to more dramatic complications such as intestinal lymphoma.
On average, it takes six years from the onset of symptoms to arrive at a diagnosis.


Norfolk County Council's policy and resources committee had been due to debate a report on how the effects of Britain leaving the European Union will be felt on these shores.
However, with the waters still murky on a national level, council leader Andrew Proctor opted to delay the report until the committee's next meeting.
Steve Morphew, leader of the Labour group at Council Hall, however, said he was disappointed the discussion did not take place.
The report will instead be heard at the committee's next meeting on Monday, January 28.

He paddled boats lugged provisions stock game even gathered water cress for his master's dinner. Captain Clark reported my servant nearly exhausted with heat thirst and fatigue and later your very unwell from strains of carrying in meat and lifting logs. Clarke sometimes ordered his slaves to dance which he wrote amuse the crowd very much. Lewis and Clark displayed the dark skinned and powerfully built York too awestruck native peoples who Clark remarked were much astonished and call him Big Medicine historian James home bird concluded his experiences undoubtedly altered his perspective on his place in society. Once home York requested his freedom. Clark refused York became insolent and sulky. Finally Clark allowed his slaves to join his wife in Kentucky but warned if any attempt is made by York to run off or refused to perform his duty as a slave. I wish him hired out to some severe master until he thinks better of such conduct. York remained a slave until at least eight hundred sixteen and died of cholera before 1832 York's islands near towns in Montana bear his name.

Q: Introduction to Astronomy books I am looking for a book that covers an introduction to astronomy. Currently, I am reading Introductory Astronomy and Astrophysics, by Zeilik and Gregory. However, I quickly noticed that it is much too advanced for me as it dives right into tensors, general relativity, etc in the very first chapter. I do have knowledge in those topics, however, I will like a book that doesn't dive into those advanced topics right away hence the "introduction" part.

Are there any highly recommended introductory books in astronomy? Ideally, I would prefer it to have a solution manual so that I can see if my answers to the sample questions are correct.

A: In my introductory astronomy class, we used the "Pathways to Astronomy" textbook. It can be found online for relatively cheap, and starts off with the basics. It does delve a bit into physics, but not beyond a basic level. Some online editions have practice questions with solutions, as well.
Keep in mind, it is very introductory and may be more simple than what you're looking for.

A: On an introductory college-level, I don't know any books that beat Freedman & Kaufmann's "Universe" (latest couple of editions co-authored also by Robert Geller). I don't have my issue (6th edition, 2001) with me right now, but as far as I remember, it requires no more than entry-level college math and physics. The current edition is 10th edition (2013); eleventh edition can be pre-ordered on Amazon.
It doesn't get much in depth with each topic, but it is impressively extensive, and gets around everything from the Earth-Moon system to exotic objects and cosmology.
The writing style is also impressive. It is easily read, with a good balance between everyday and technical language, carefully introducing technical terms as they are needed. Headings and subheadings are short one-sentence summaries of the most important points in each (sub-)section, and important take-away points are well introduced in separate boxes. It is richly illustrated, has supplementary online material, and in general an easy read language-wise, but still serious and very thoroughly researched and fact checked.
Given that it is an introductory text book to an entire field, each topic is of course treated somewhat superficially. Do not expect to reach expert level with this book, that is not what it is meant for. It is, on the other hand, a very good, broad introduction to a large and dynamic field, and new editions updated with the latest advances in Astrophysics are frequently published.
I know this sounds a bit like a sales pitch; I have absolutely no stake in this book, and I think the price tag, at around a hundred dollars, is the only mention worthy downside to this book.

The Maver Dual Core Pro Hollow Elastic comes under the beady eye of Angler's Mail tackle editor Richard Howard. He's the No.1 products inspector, checking out loads of quality kit every week.
Specification: available in 3-5 (White), 4-7 (Blue), 6-9 (Green), 8-11 (Yellow), 11-13 (Fire Orange), 14-17 (Aurora Pink) and 18-20 (Blaze Orange). The twin-core hollow elastic features an inner amber core, for improved elasticity. The 2.5 and 5 m lengths will elasticate one or two power kits respectively.
My verdict: this extensive range will cover all types of pole fishing, whether you are targeting skimmers or hefty carp.
The amber core offers a more forgiving playing action than the original black core.
I also hear that this elastic doesn't flatten when stretched to its limit, returning to its original shape after a fish.
The lighter colours in the lower strengths should mean that UV light has less of an impact on the overall strength.
Prices: 2.5 m £9.99; 5 m £16.99.

Brannyck History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The rugged west coast of Scotland and the desolate Hebrides islands are the ancestral home of the Brannyck family. Their name indicates that the original bearer lived in Brennath in Moray, where the name became Birnie. There is also a Birnie in the shire of Elgin. The village of Birnie was originally called Brenuth, from brae-nut, which means "hazel trees". Natives of Birnie, using a local dialect, also called the village Burn-nigh, which means near the burn river. This local name, particularly in medieval times, is prefixed by "de", which means "from." During the Middle Ages, the Birney family became a part of the landed gentry and they wielded considerable prestige and influence in the region of the Scottish borderlands.
Early Origins of the Brannyck family
The surname Brannyck was first found in Elginshire a former county in northeastern Scotland, in the present day Scottish Council Area of Moray, where Birnie Kirk, a Church of Scotland church built c. 1140 is still found today. It was the first cathedral of the Bishop of Moray. The church is one of the oldest in Scotland to have been in continuous use through the centuries.
Birnie Loch is a man-made loch located in North East Fife from a flooded gravel pit. Birnie Island is a small, uninhabited coral island, 20 hectares in area, part of the Phoenix Island group in central Pacific ocean named after the London firm Alexander Birnie & Co in 1823.
The MacBirnie (MacBurnie and MacBurney) variant was first found in 1466 when David M'Birny was a witness in Kirkcudbright. [1]
Important Dates for the Brannyck family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Brannyck research. Another 115 words (8 lines of text) covering the years 1261, 1500, 1520, 1591, 1680, 1563, 1619, 1563, 1584 and are included under the topic Early Brannyck History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Brannyck Spelling Variations
Spelling and translation were not standardized practices until the last few centuries. Spelling variations are extremely common among early Scottish names. Brannyck has been spelled Birnie, Birney, Birny, Birnye, Byrnye, Byrny, Berney, Birne, Byrne, McBirny, McBirnie, McBurny, McBurnie and many more.
Early Notables of the Brannyck family (pre 1700)
Another 44 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Brannyck Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Brannyck family to Ireland
Some of the Brannyck family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Migration of the Brannyck family
The hardy Scots who made the crossing settled all along the east coast of North America and in the great west that was just then opening up. At the time of the American War of Independence, many United Empire Loyalists moved north from the American colonies to Canada. Scottish national heritage became better known in North America in the 20th century through highland games and other patriotic events. An examination of immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Brannyck arrived in North America very early: William Birnie who settled in Philadelphia in 1811; David Birney settled in Philadelphia in 1840; William McBerney settled in New York State in 1804; James McBirney settled in Philadelphia in 1844.

His Eminence Cardinal Sir Norman Gilroy KBE
First Australian-Born Cardinal
NSWNational RecipientAustralian of the Year1970
Norman Thomas Gilroy was born in Sydney to working class parents of Irish descent. He left school at thirteen and worked for the Postmaster General before serving as a junior wireless operator during the Gallipoli campaign. Returning to Australia he nominated for the priesthood: his studies took him to Rome, where he gained a Doctorate in Divinity and was ordained in 1923.
Gilroy rose steadily in the Catholic Church and was appointed Archbishop of Sydney in 1940 and Australia's first Cardinal in 1945. He presided over rapid growth in the Catholic school system and in 1969 became the first Catholic Cardinal to be knighted since the Reformation. Shortly before he was named Australian of the Year, Gilroy arranged the first papal visit to Australia, welcoming his friend Pope Paul VI.
When accepting his award on Australia Day 1971, Cardinal Gilroy quoted St. Augustine: 'Let our lives be good, and the times will be good.'


When 2013 RAPS: The Regulatory Convergence opens in Boston on 30 September, attendees will hear an opening keynote presentation from one of the world's leading advocates for improving global health, and who also has implemented health reform himself as a former national health minister.
Julio Frenk, MD, PhD, MPH, is currently dean of the Harvard School of Public Health as well as being a professor of public health and international development as part of a joint appointment with School of Public Health and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Previously, he served as the minister of health of Mexico from 2000 to 2006.
As health minister, Frenk pursued an ambitious agenda to reform the nation's health system, which included introducing comprehensive national health insurance, expanding healthcare to tens of millions of previously uninsured Mexicans. He also has served as a senior fellow in the global health program of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and received the Clinton Global Citizen Award for changing "the way practitioners and policy makers across the world think about health."
Regulatory Focus recently had a chance to speak with Dr. Frenk about global health, healthcare reform and the important role of regulatory systems.
Regulatory Focus: You have focused a lot of your career on global health and the challenges of improving global health. What are the most pressing challenges today?
Julio Frenk: I would say that when it comes to the disease profile of the world, one can think of it as a triple challenge. First, there is an unfinished agenda of common infections, malnutrition and maternal mortality. Seven million children die from preventable causes each year. And that's down from 12 million. Second, there is the burden of the growing tide of non-communicable diseases-cancer, diabetes, mental illness-that now account for the majority of diseases around the world. Third, there are the health problems related to globalization, including pandemics and the health consequences of climate change.
Health systems around the world are unprepared to deal with these challenges. In the US, many people are left out of the health system. But those problems and discussions also are happening around the world-in China, in Mexico. There is a universal quest to better organize the delivery of healthcare while addressing the upstream determinants of health. In the end, you have a common health system and that system is failing to keep up with the global challenges.
RF: You mentioned Mexico as one of the health systems dealing with these challenges. What can you tell us about the reforms you instituted there as health minister?
JF: Mexico had a similar situation to the US. A large part of the population was uninsured, and what we did was to expand insurance and develop a whole new regulatory agency. Regulatory capacity is an essential part of health reform.
Mexico's health reform was built on three pillars: One, extend insurance. Two, improve quality of care; and three, develop a modern, efficient and transparent regulatory agency in a way that allows you to intervene in the upstream determinants of health. In other words, help ensure people don't get sick in the first place.
Eventually, we achieved comprehensive reform. My point here is that when you expand insurance, obviously, you are removing a financial barrier to healthcare; you also must intervene in the upstream causes of health problems. You need a proactive preventive strategy-insuring that the air we breathe is clean, that the water we drink is clean, that the drugs we use are high quality and affordable. Having a sound regulatory strategy in place is an essential part of health reform.
RF: You emphasized the importance of regulation in effective health reform. What role do government and regulatory agencies, and the regulations governing healthcare products play?
JF: I think there are two fundamental roles. The first one is health protection-protecting people from risks they may be exposed to in an involuntary manner. Health is a very complex condition of humans; there are multiple determinants of health and disease, and a good part of those are things they may be exposed to passively-the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat.
There are also active exposures. Those have more to do with modifying peoples' behavior. For example, smoking. That requires a different strategy, not so much regulatory. That's a fundamental duty of government. One of the main motivators is to protect against common threats.
The second big use of regulation is in allowing the market for healthcare services to function better. The healthcare market is an extreme case of what economists call asymmetries of information. Consumers don't have the medical expertise. That's the reason we go to the doctor in the first place. We need to know if the pain we have is serious or not.
Most people cannot judge the quality of care in an obvious way. It is not obvious what is a good hospital or a bad hospital. So accreditation of hospitals can help correct the fundamental asymmetries of information. It's the same with drugs. People cannot judge the quality of information [about a drug] like they would judge the quality of candy or cereal. If I'm not satisfied [with candy or cereal], the consequences are trivial. Medicine is very complicated. Doctors study years. Human biology is very complex. If you get it wrong, consequences can be fatal.
RF: How did you address these asymmetries of information through the regulatory agency you developed in Mexico?
JF: We had a process to approve drugs but it was not as strong as it could be. Because of the free trade agreement, it was important to have some harmonization with FDA.
Developing systems that are corruption-proof is also essential for good government around the world. For most emerging economies around the world, you have a huge risk in inefficient, but also corrupt, regulatory systems. And because of the globalization of trade, this can affect not only citizens of that country, but also people around the world.
RF: Can closer alignment of regulations across different regional health authorities help improve overall health for people around the world?
JF: I think harmonization and convergence is important for many reasons. First of all, because most countries of the world don't have the regulatory capacity, so adapting regulations used elsewhere would be a positive step. Also, we have a global market and many health-related products are exported, and it makes that trade more efficient if we had a better harmonized system.
Bear in mind that the health industry is one of the largest is the world. Anything that can improve how that huge sector of the economy operates is good for global trade.
RF: What do you plan to talk about in your keynote presentation 2013 RAPS: The Regulatory Convergence?
JF: I am planning to discuss the dramatic changes that have happened in human health and provide an overview of how we have ended up with the triple burden I mentioned. I also will examine the growth of complex health systems and the crucial regulatory function, and talk a little about the need for greater global collaboration and the need for shared learning. There is an absence of good analysis in many parts of the world.
I have a feeling that we haven't done as good of a job in studying regulatory systems. This is a completely neglected area of analysis and discussion when we talk about improving healthcare. Any comprehensive reform that extends insurance and improves care also has to address upstream determinants. That is a core component of the health reform in Mexico.

Utahns demonstrate at the Utah State Capitol in favor of Iran's reforms
Salt Lake City, Utah — In support of the demonstrations in Iran, Utahns held a rally Thursday night at the Utah State Capitol.
People shouted "women, life, freedom" in Farsi, calling for an end to the current political system.
"Everybody's on the streets in Iran, they're fighting with the police, the police are trying to shoot them," said one demonstrator. "They are there with nothing, so we are here to raise our voice in support for them."
Iranians are protesting when Mahsa Amini, 22, passed away while being held by the authorities. According to the authorities, she was not properly donning her headscarf or hijab.
People who call Utah home gathered at the Capitol as her death sparked demonstrations there and around the world.
"If I were in Iran, I would definitely go to the streets and protest, although I know I might be dead if I go to the street," said another one of the attendees. "But when all of my brothers and sisters go to the street and get killed, what makes me special?"
Many protesters wanted to speak out about what's occurring there even if they were afraid of possible punishment from the Iranian government against them or their families and preferred to stay nameless.
"I thought it would be good if we spread their stories and their sufferings so others can hear that and they can make whatever they want out of that," said yet another demonstrator. "But we are here to show solidarity."
To bring attention to the difficulties experienced by Iranians, people held signs, led chants, and stood in their neighborhoods far from home.
"I'm happy to see all the Iranian people show up, but what I would like to see most, more than anything else is for them to contact their elected officials and demand to help Iranian people with free internet," one attendee said. "Because that's what they're asking."
"I want to tell our people back in Iran that we are here for you, no matter how they censor you, no matter how they shut down the internet on you," they said. "We are here, we can raise our voice and let the world know what is going on in Iran."

Q: Include preferences from a topic How to include preferences from another topic in Foswiki 1.1.9? This approach doesn't work for me:
Sandbox.MyPreferences
   * Set FOO = 1

Sandbox.UseFoo
%INCLUDE{"Sandbox.MyPreferences"}%
Value for FOO is %FOO%

Output of Sandbox.UseFoo
Value for FOO is %FOO%

A: Another possibility would be to use SpreadSheet variables to accomplish something similar.  Unlike Foswiki Preferences, spreadsheet variables can be set in an included topic and then used in the including topic.  I've seen this used to centralize a number of calculations into a separate include topic which can then be referenced in a number of topics.
I wrote up an example from a past life.  See http://foswiki.org/Support/BestPracticeTip33

A: No, that's not possible. * Set lists can't be %INCLUDed. However the upcoming Foswiki-1.2.0 will have a macro-equivalent to * Set which in fact will
allow you to %INCLUDE them as you described. See http://foswiki.org/Development/SettingAndGettingVariablesUsingMacros.

I Have Seen All Ten Seasons of F.R.I.E.N.D.S., and I Think It Is Evil
This is the preachiest thing you will read all day
By David Kennedy
Staff Not My Lobster
I've watched every single episode of Friends, many of them multiple times, over roughly a three year span. So it's far too late for me to pretend I'm better than it, but I'm going try anyway.
I sat watching this show for hours at a time in high school. Now, after three years of consistent viewing, I still couldn't recite very many of its jokes. Right now, I couldn't give you a detailed plot synopsis of any of the episodes without watching them again. I remember the basic overview. I know that Ross is supposed to get with Rachel. I remember Chandler being self-deprecating and witty. I remember Joey being a slob who eats cake off the floor and that Monica is a neat-freak. I watched the show, but somehow it has not really stayed with me.
A big part of this is probably that, even while I was watching it, I never thought of Friends as a great show or even as a show that I loved or felt connected to. I thought it was low art, just a crappy sitcom. To watch it, you just turn your brain off and passively absorb sounds and images from your TV. I have since learned that this opinion is more controversial than I thought. Friends is a surprisingly big deal.
At least, I was surprised it was. When I was watching it, I never would have thought Friends was ahead of its time. Again, I thought it was just a dumb TV show, but apparently it predicted some things. So I have to appreciate that it was the first sitcom to really blow up that was about a group of charming, clumsy twenty-somethings struggling to find their way in life, which is really its own genre now. This kind of group dynamic had not really been explored on television in this way before. When it first came out, people really connected with it. So, strange as it is, Friends became a cultural force, the ripples of which can still be felt in the kinds of things we see on TV today.
It is not just that Friends was revolutionary for its time though. What really surprised me was when I found out that people my age really like Friends. I came out of whatever hole I spent most of high school hiding in and met people with sincere, sentimental attachments to this bad sitcom I watched. And I thought it was weird. I think it is weird that people my age claim to have learned things from this show. I think it is weird that people strongly identify with these characters, enough that they get offended when you question the show's quality. I was especially weirded out when I actually met real people who, upon arriving at college, expressed joking excitement over the idea that their life was going to be like a sitcom now. I don't know about you, but life with a laugh track sounds pretty horrifying to me.
Seeing how excited my peers were by the show made me start to think about all the latent issues I had with it. When I thought nobody but me and my brother were watching it, I kind of just dismissed any criticisms I had of the characters or the storytelling because it was just a dumb TV show; it's harmless. Now I see people half-jokingly referencing Friends as a template for how they want to live their lives. Then I'll re-watch an episode and ask the question: why would I want to be friends with these people?
Because the friends from Friends are all pretty shitty people. There are way too many examples of this to list here, but I'll try to come up with a few consistent ones. Everyone always makes fun of Ross because of his job. He's dedicated his life to paleontology and whenever he tries to talk about it, his friends call him a nerd and boo him offstage. Everyone is constantly lying to each other. For example, nobody will tell Phoebe that she's a bad singer, which may be sparing her feelings in the short run, but it shows how content they are to just allow her to continue embarrassing herself and to perpetuate their friend's naiveté. Not to mention that all the male characters on the show represent the most juvenile kind of masculinity. There's actually a line where Joey, in reference to a bunch of female dancers, says to Ross, "They're not objects. Just kidding, let's go!"
But it's not just that the characters are bad people. It's not even that they're especially bad people. They're all pretty average bad people, but I find it kind of weird how easygoing the show is about their bad behavior. This wouldn't be a problem if they were more cartoonishly bad, but these characters are supposed to be relatable. They are your friends. Seinfeld and George aren't your friends. They're assholes, and it's obvious, and that's the joke.
I think the laugh track might be the worst part because it seems to be there to convince the audience that what's going on is fine, and not a big deal. Someone makes fun of Ross, laugh track. Chandler hates himself, laugh track. Phoebe lacks self-awareness while Joey says something shitty about women, laugh track. I don't understand why people want friends like this.

Jules Verne is the Second Most Popular Author in the World
Since 1932, UNESCO has maintained a database called the Index Translationum. It is an international bibliography of translations—that is, a list of all the books in the world that have been published in translation.
The current list tabulates the cumulative bibliographical information on books translated and published in nearly one hundred of UNESCO's member states since 1979, totaling more than 2 million separate entries. Books in every discipline are counted, from literature and science to art and history.
Jules Verne has long been near the top of UNESCO's list of most-translated authors, ranking number 4 until recently.
On the latest list issued by UNESCO, Jules Verne ranks number 2 in the number of translations published world-wide, exceeded only by Agatha Christie (Stephen King comes in ninth place and Isaac Asimov is twenty-fourth).
UNESCO lists the number of translated Verne works at an impressive 4751. In several countries, Verne is the number one author published in translation. This is true for countries as diverse as Chile, Greece and Spain, while Verne is in the top ten list of dozens of others. He is among the top two or three most-translated authors in many countries, including China.
Keep in mind this is an author whose last work was published more than a century ago.

Q: How do I detect when a person joins a vc discord.js v13? Hey whoever is reading this! I'm trying to make it so when someone joins a voice channel a variable goes up and when they leave it goes down, but when I try using the voiceStateUpdate event it doesn't do anything and then I put a console.log() into that event and it didn't log so I don't know if its the same in v13, and if there is something in the discord.js guid please respond with the link!

A: To be able to use voiceStateUpdate event, your client must declare the GUILD_VOICE_STATE intent in order to receive data about the voice state of the guild.
When initialising your client:
client = new Client({ intents: [..., Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES] });
