China is perhaps the first country to use tracking mechanisms through mobile phones and/or social media Apps such as WeChat and Alipay to track people's movements or to stop people diagnosed of Covid-19 from travelling. It has now developed into a national Health QR Code System (Jiankang Ma). While an early study suggests that the health QR code had helped control the spread of Covid-19 in China, the effectively compulsory use of the QR code and the apparently unconstrained collection of personal information and data for the system have caused some major concerns about its potential for misuse or abuse at the expense of individual rights. Among these is a serious question concerning the protection of privacy in China, where a right balance between its protection and the need for safeguarding public health is yet to be established.
The emergence of a national QR code system
Hangzhou was the first city in China to introduce a health App in early February 2020, and soon similar mechanisms were widely promoted and adopted by local governments. This local development was quickly endorsed by the central government and, thus, China began to encourage the nationwide use of a health QR code system (or a (paper-based) health pass system where the electronic version was not yet available), without providing details or regulation, when the Notice on the Prevention and Control of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic with Scientific Precision was issued on 24 February 2020. The national system is built upon the 'Internet + Medical Health' system as well as other data systems that had been established by both public and private organisations.
As a local initiative, early adoption of the QR code system by local governments was inconsistent. Different versions of the code, containing different data and information, used in different places were incompatible. Further, it was claimed that the health QR code relies on 'troves of data the authorities have collected from individuals — including their personal information, location, travel history, recent contacts and health status.'
Standardisation of the Health QR Code
Despite different practices at local levels, there were three sets of 'uniform standards' jointly issued, in May 2020, by the State Administration for Market Supervision and the National Commission on Standardisation for the establishment and national use of the health QR code. Among them is the 'Personal Health Information Code – Data Format' (GB/T 38962-2020) which specifies four sets of information to be collected for the health QR code:
· Personal data: name, gender, nationality, ID type and number, area of household registration, home address, contact phone number, basic health history, and other information;
· Personal health information: body temperature, current symptoms, information relating to living and staying in high-risk areas, contact with people from high-risk areas, time of health declaration, and other information;
· Travel history: local position for places where the person has recently lived and stayed for a certain period of time, including present location and travel information, and other information;
· Health certification information: assessment result of current health by health information management authorities, including health risk grade assessment, assessment time and reasons for the assessment, medical test results, details of health testing institutions, testing time and sources of data, and other information.
The problem with such 'uniform standards' is that it is a set of open-ended demands for information and data with no restrictions on collecting or incorporating further information or data.
Further efforts were made in December 2020 through the Notice on Service Action Plan to Further Promote 'Internet + Medical Health' and the 'Five First' Services which was jointly issued by several State Council authorities. The Notice is to ensure that a uniform version of code would be followed by all local governments that would also be accepted nationwide under the policy of 'uniform policy, uniform standards, mutual recognition and one code for all travel purpose'. Importantly, this Notice specifically calls for the incorporation of information and data stored in other electronic cards and apps including financial payment cards. A truly national health QR code system, storing a huge amount of personal information and data, thus began to emerge in China.
In practice, the health QR code in use is linked to information and data held by other systems, including data held by the civil aviation, railroad, highway, electronic toll collection, local bus systems, telecommunication operators, and payment data held by banks and other financial institutions. Others have reported the collection of such information as income, height, blood types, etc. Most recently, as part of China's effort to push for a vaccine passport system as a means to open borders, information about nucleic acid test, vaccination and travelling history to high and medium-risk areas are to be automatically incorporated into the QR code.
Although participation is not made compulsory for all residents (for instance, elderly are specifically mentioned as a group of people who might need to retain the old paper-based system), the reality is more complicated. First, the refusal to information collection by linked systems would likely lead to the denial of many services, including telecommunication and banking services. Further, the health QR code is connected to the use of many essential services such as hospitals and travel. As a result, it is effectively compulsory for the great majority of residents. As for Chinese citizens returning from overseas, participation is mandatory. They are required to enter their personal information, health status, recent travel history and other information on a daily basis in advance via an international version of the health QR code.
A Battle between Protecting Privacy and Safeguarding Public Interests?
Not surprisingly, the use of these mechanisms has caused some major privacy concerns. Many are worried that their personal information may be leaked, and their information security could be compromised and the system might be used for other social control purposes, and this is despite the requirement by national guidelines that local governments standardise the use of personal information collected by the health QR code, strengthen data security management, and protect personal privacy.
Until this day, however, privacy concerns are yet to be properly addressed. In fact, in issuing the national standards for the contents of the health QR code system, the need to balance the protection of privacy with the need to sharing such information was heavily emphasised. Most recently, in mid-March 2021, four authorities under the State Council jointly issued the Provisions on the Scope of Personal Information Necessary for Common Types of Apps of Mobile Internet (effective 1 May 2021). These Provisions clarify for the first time the so-called necessary information/data for 39 types of common Apps. However, the health QR code is not covered by the Provisions, suggesting that the system will continue to be open-ended and privacy will only be a secondary consideration.

Temple of Doom, our current development is in the testing phase, it is possible that it can go live by next week.
Temple of Doom will be available from level 1.
There will be a new button for it on the left menu, under Actions.
Higher levels are more difficult but you have more times to complete.
You get a specified number of missions in the temple, which can be completed parallel to each other. If you complete all missions in a row or column, you will get a lesser reward immediately (wheel of fortune common or rare reward) and a temple crystal which can be exchanged for a number of rewards.
If you complete ALL missions in the given time, you get the BIG reward. You can do a new temple after the time expires. You can't start a new temple even if you finish it earlier.
You can skip up to 2 missions per temple if you find them to difficult, and they will be marked as completed. The cost of this will be soul-energy or ancient stones by your choice.
What will the different missions be like? Can you give us examples (or even better the full list!)?
And it looks really good so far, but it is difficult to give any specific feedback/comments without knowing what the individual "tasks" are.
Examples are: Win X duel on the same day, roll the wheel of fortune X times, find X essences, buy a new helm, acquire X treasure points etc.
Are all the quests active all the time, or do you have to chose on at a time to have as active (like Quests)?
Really looking forward to this, could be a really nice addition to the game.
All the quests are active, so you can do them parallel to each other.
Looks great! Excellent introduction to the game, apparently.
Just need to be careful not to create frustration among players. Buying a new helm every 4 weeks seems extremely hard. A helm costs more than 10,000 SD, which means at least 4 adventures per day. In W2, top 25th has less than 1000 adventures and the game has been on for a long time. Do the monthly average and you will realize 4 adventures per day is too much.
Also, don't forget to include an extra column in the achievements. And the same should be done for the clan quests.
I imagine that quests like the "Buy X" will be the type of quests that you will want to take away with you "take away 2 quests". But sometimes you will want to do them, so I think they are good to include, just as long as there aren´t too many of them.
And including some reasons for people to do Adventures is perhaps good? Isn´t it odd that there is a feature of the game that people don´t do, because the reward for doing so is so small?
i agree there are some problems in adventures. eg: the upper limit of trapping skill is 30. in adventures they sometimes want 40-45 because of player's level. but what can the player do? the upper limit is 30. the player MUST buy crystal points to compensate and spend SE.
On the other hand, it is understandable, that the staff wants users to utilize the feature.
The best thing in DL is, that you have the chance to play your own style. I'm glad there will be a "pass on it" function.
But Adventures would be a "profitable" feature if soul-diamonds was a currency that you really wanted. As it stands right now, Adventures is a feature of the game that transforms SE->Soul-diamonds (through potions, skills you have to buy, straight up SE costs, and crystal points). If people do not want to do Adventures it is because they do not want the Soul-diamonds that you get from them, or the "exchange rate" is so ow that it becomes unprofitable.
4) Helmets (and focus crystals for helmets). But these are also limited by collecting helmet shards.
6) Some pet equipment. Once again, premium items.
So as you can see, a lot of the items that you need SD for are premium items, and once you have bought the Relics it is very easy to collect a lot of SD and not have anything to spend them on.
My personal opinion is that it is wrong to have a feature of the game like this, a feature which the players feel like "I don´t want to do this, because I don´t get anything from it, I only loose". Adventures are a kind of challenge, and I think that they should be challenging and the reward should be useful, independent of if you are a premium player or not. The easy way to solve this (and keep the adventure system intact as it is) is to introduce new items you can buy for soul-diamonds. I would suggest some kind of temporary, but powerful items, things that players would say "I want that, I really should do some Adventures!".
and dont forget what i said. beating adventures without using crystal points should be POSSİBLE, it is sometimes impossible as it is.
Sometimes the test are above the limit of the skill, but it actually have to be like that. The reason for that is that you get (Random)+Skill to beat the Difficulty. If the Difficulty could not go higher that the Max of the skill, then you would always succeed on tests against skills which you have maxed out.
Also, there are at least two ways to get a bonus to the (Random) part of that. The Survivor AA ability gives +1/level, and the Energy sanctum Clan building gives +1/10 levels.
My problem with adventures is that fights really hurt EH players, as the SE/XP payout is very low.
But this is not even my point. As a matter of fact, I used to have the same approach as Kethios until I realized how important relics are. Today I am doing lots of them (despite hating the SE/XP payout) and will probably be top 25 soon. And still, I am far from doing 4 per day. In my opinion, very few people in W2 will be able to achieve that.
Yes, but you will only do that (Adventures) until you have achieved your goal: Buy the Relics. After that? Why would you (in the current state of things) do adventures?
Not until the low SE/XP ratio for EH isn't changed.
The moment I get all relics, I will simply skip this part of the personal quest.
But we are discussing 2 different things here.
Second one is the fact that very few people can do 4 adventures per day.
It is very true that I have a lot more Adventures done than anyone else in W2, but my argument stands: Adventures are not profitable to do after a certain point (and I think you agree with that).
So I am mostly arguing that the way to "save" this feature of the game would be to make sure that there are items costing Soul-diamonds that people want. Examples of such items would be temporary relics that increases the XP pets gain from fights and Kennel, Potions that speed up your HP (or SP) regen for a few days, and similiar items that give you a temporary advantage that you couldn´t get from SE.
About the 4 adventures/day: My guess is that the number of different tasks in the ToD is sufficent enough that you will not always get the "Buy a helmet" one in every ToD you do. If implemented smart enough, I would guess that tasks are labeled according to difficulty, and some harder ones cannot show up more than once in a single ToD, and furthermore perhaps only a few such tasks in every ToD. If you look at the image in the original post you can see that some tasks show up more than once, while others only once.
Combined with the ability to skip tasks, this will hopefully mean that you will not need to do 4 adventures per day to complete the ToD.
Now this new thing sound really cool!
I hope no problems will appear.
I promise that I'll try to be the first who finish it first.
Make it visible on the highscores too!
My first thought was "Yes, should definitely be tracked in high scores!". But what should be tracked? Total number of tasks would only give an advantage to higher level players. So the only thing to track that would make sense would be the number of completed ToD, a number that would instead benefit low level players. So i don´t really know how it would be tracked in high scores, but it would be cool if it was.
And when is the Temple opening?
Initially in 1984 to mixed reviews So do we get a sidekick named "short round" that follows us to the temple?

No Easy Solutions to the Opioid Addiction Crisis
— Government alone can't solve the problem, say experts
by Joyce Frieden, News Editor, MedPage Today June 7, 2017
WASHINGTON -- Although the government can do its part to reduce the opioid abuse crisis, the underlying problem is a cultural one that can't be solved solely through government actions, several speakers said Wednesday at a discussion sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a right-leaning think tank here.
"This crisis is not a failure of government; it's a failure of culture and other things," said Danny Seiden, deputy chief of staff to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R). "Government alone is not going to save us."
Nicholas Eberhardt, the Henry Wendt chair in political economy at AEI, noted that those parts of the country with a higher proportion of religious adherents generally didn't seem to have as high a mortality rate among middle-aged white men -- one of the groups getting hit hardest by opioids, as well as by alcohol and suicide -- as other areas. "This obviously is not something that's amenable to government policy -- I hope we don't have a Department of God -- but we have to recognize some of the civil society and social capital aspects of the crisis in mortality that we're in."
Medicaid's Role
One study found that in 2013, among unemployed white men, ages 25-54, with a high school education or less, 75% were enrolled in a disability program -- something that established their eligibility for Medicaid, said Eberhardt. And once they got onto the Medicaid program, "they could go to a 'pill mill' and get a 90-day supply [of opioids] for $3 up front and Medicaid would pay the rest," although those rules are being tightened up, he said, calling it a "horrible deadly consequence" of Medicaid enrollment.
On the other hand, Medicaid is also being used by both parties to help treat those with opioid addiction, said Harold Pollack, PhD, professor of social service administration at the University of Chicago. "The Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion is the model for successful bipartisan [work] on health policy ... If you call someone in a random state, the conversation you have is that they're trying to get people into residential treatment and get Medicaid to pay for that. It's about the work, not about the politics. I find that very encouraging."
Pollack described a program he is working on in the Cook County jail, where 80% of the prisoners involved with drugs are in the Medicaid expansion program. Many of them are at their maximum level of vulnerability, in terms of relapse, when they leave the jail, "and they [often] slip through our fingers" and don't show up for treatment the next day, he said. So the researchers set up trailers to give these newly released prisoners "three hots and a cot" and then take them to someone who provides addiction treatment.
"This costs about $168 per night, and Medicaid expansion is what makes that possible ... Everyone around the country is trying to do stuff like that," said Pollack.
A Difficult Problem
One audience member, an intern at another conservative think tank, took issue with that approach. She explained that her family was fairly well-off and got very engaged in helping her father with his addiction -- but he died from it anyway. "He went into treatment multiple times and it didn't do any good," she said. "If my dad didn't care when I held his hand taking him into treatment ... Why would it do any good for a stranger [taking a released prisoner there] with no hope and no job?"
Sally Satel, MD, a resident scholar at AEI and a psychiatrist at an addiction treatment facility, said that people such as the intern's father are among the hardest to help. "They must have some inner pain," she said. For some people, it's useful to teach them tricks for preventing relapses, such as making sure they don't walk home on the same street where their drug dealer hangs out, and having them get their paychecks direct-deposited instead of in check form, "but your dad knew how to do all that. This is very tough."
Pollack also called for more data. "We know less than we should about what's happening out there," he said. "We need a solid epidemiological system that actually gets at the people who are using," not just those who dutifully fill out the surveys.
Seiden listed several steps the state of Arizona has taken, including Monday's declaration of the crisis in Arizona being a public health emergency. "That gives us rulemaking authority and advanced surveillance," he said. The state is also requiring that its doctors check the Controlled Substance Prescription Monitoring Program database before prescribing, and it has limited all first prescriptions for opioids among Medicaid beneficiaries and state employees to no more than 7 days.
On the interdiction side, Arizona partnered with the federal government and has so far intercepted 176 lbs. of heroin, "which translates into millions of hits," said Seiden. "Attacking that won't solve the demand problem," but at least it's something.
Encouraging Prevention
Prevention is another aspect of the solution that has kind of fallen by the wayside, Seiden said. "There are pilot [prevention] programs we started that we're very excited about," including one program in junior high schools. "Wouldn't it be much better if we could prevent people from becoming addicted?"
The state also has an overdose review panel to review any death from an overdose, to evaluate whether state and local officials could have intervened. "Our Medicaid programs; are we enabling this? Does access to opioids get them started? I think people don't think of this as an epidemic ... It has almost become OK to see people taking pills, and that's part of the problem," he said.
In response to a question from the audience, Pollack said he liked an initiative the Canadian government has started in which people are given safe, clean locations in which to inject the drugs they are taking. "That's an interesting harm reduction intervention, and there is some evidence it's valuable for people," he said. While he would never oppose such a program if it came to the U.S., "I've got a bunch of things on the list that I'd want to do first that are much more consonant with the norms of American drug policy," such as needle exchange and medication-assisted treatment.
As for the idea of legalization, the opioid crisis "is a kick in the pants for legalization in such an interesting way," Pollack told MedPage Today. On the one hand, "we've got these legal products that are killing people ... One side of the argument is if you legalize the drugs and provide them through the medical system with known quality and dosing [it will help solve the addiction and violence problems]; we did that with opioids. Nobody's being killed selling opioids, it's just that people are dropping dead using the opioids." At the same time, "The 'drug warrior' type of approach is also not going do it, because we're shifting people into the street substances ... which are too prevalent and too cheap."

Revival also operates by the light of God. Revival is an exposure of the light and glory of God in the earth. It travels in waves as well, which the Bible calls times and seasons of refreshing that come from the presence of God (Acts 3:19). I believe with all my heart that we're stepping into another wave right now. I believe with all my heart that we're stepping into another season of exposure from the glory, which will shift the entire earth into a higher frequency of the knowledge of God's glory.
Make no presumptions about what I have said in the past. For though you have heard correctly, and received correctly, there is more to be given you, especially in terms of its interpretation and its application for today and tomorrow. Do not be rigid, locked, or fixed in the matters I have given you in the past.
And while this may sound mysterious you will find it to be very practical and very accessible to you. You will find it to be very encouraging as you begin to see and understand multiple layers and multiple timelines simultaneously. You will have greater depth in your consideration, and as a result, will begin to make better and better decisions as you continue to remain sensitive to the move of my spirit.
As I whisper in your ear in an ever-so-soft voice you will experience me in a very different manner than you have in the past. For there is a very soft, very subtle quality you will encounter as you sit with me in the space between your breaths. And in these spaces, you will encounter my gentleness and my timelessness. You will see my hand at work in your life in even smaller expressions than you have perceived in the past. And with this increased awareness of my involvement, especially in areas you previously presumed I was uninvolved and unaware, your anticipation will also be increased.
In this day and hour, I am showing you how to manage your pace. I am revealing to you greater expressions of communion with me, and doing so through the environment of pressure and activity. In this pressure and activity of the day I am awakening the realization of our union together in new ways, for you are connected, and always will be connected. In this day I am revealing and awakening within you the realization of our connection through times of business, activity, and pressure.
In this management of your daily life, along with its pressures and responsibilities, I am giving you the experience to practice and to manage the pace of your daily life, for there is still so much within you yet to be fully revealed. But in this moment I am giving you the opportunity to be able to manage all that is going on in your life and to do so with excellence and with fellowship.
As I continue to open up new realms of experience and encounter to you do not be overwhelmed. As you see the line between your boundaries of yesterday begin to fade and blur do not let your heart become anxious as though there is the need for alarm. Understand those boundaries served a useful function and purpose in your youth, but now you have outgrown them. And in this place of growth, you will encounter me without the need for influence of these training wheels but will begin to experience and encounter me as I truly am.
In the absence of what you have previously known, do not fear. Do not be alarmed as you once again discover I am impossible to explain. Do not be bewildered as you see my nature unfold again and again, and done so in hilarious mystery, unable to be easily or logically managed or contained.

Over the most recent couple of years photograph stalls have turned out to be progressively well known and are ending up very normal at occasions of different sorts. Be it a wedding or corporate occasion individuals of any age can be seen entering and leaving the stall with a grin. On the off chance that you plan on leasing a corner for your unique occasion you can feel certain that the youths and the terrific guardians will go ahead before the camera. A photograph stall will rapidly turn into a noteworthy piece of the occasion excitement.
The average methodology for a photograph stall is to pay a level charge for a set measure of time and let it turn into a piece of the occasion. In contrast to free drinks, you know the expense of the photograph stall when you lease it. Notwithstanding the stall, most organizations give somewhere around one chaperon who is there to keep up the corner and work with the DJ to get the visitors in the corner. When the photos begin coursing around the group the lines will frame.
There are three different ways that photograph corners add to the excitement at a wedding, birthday party, or quinceanera. The main way that the corner adds to the excitement is obviously the photos themselves. Most photograph stall organizations can offer print sizes from 2×6 through 5×7 or bigger. This assortment can offer some extremely interesting blessing thoughts at your occasion.
Another piece of the excitement is for the corner to print two portions of pictures of every stall session. One strip turns out to be a piece of the recollections for the visitors and the other set in a piece book.

Work: had three cups of coffee with creamer.
LuncH: Brought leftovers that were perfect for Plate It but then Scott gave me a piece of New York style pizza (Papa Murphy's I believe) pepperoni and sausage. Nice that he shares bad that I didn't say no. I still ate the chicken and veggies out of my lunch and avoided the rice since I had the crust from the pizza. Also had the tiramisu that a co-worker made and shared with me. It was very, very good. My leftover were not! They were so bland. Probably because I ate the pizza and tiramisu first.
Head hurts too much to make dinner so I just blended up another shake. I just want something in my stomach so I can take my meds. Super foods shake this time was vanilla with cinnamon and turmeric.
175 ounces of water. Did some yoga today too.

Q: How do I highlight all columns matching a number with jquery I have the following code:
var toHighlight = $('th').filter(function(){return $(this).text() == max})

var col = $(toHighlight).index();
$("td, th").filter(":nth-child(" + (col + 1) + ")").css("background-color", "gold")

The purpose of it is to find the column with the highest number and change the background-color. It does this well. My problem is, if there are multiple columns that contain the highest number I'd like it to change the color of all of them. Right now, it only does the first one it finds.
How can I change this to change the background-color for all columns matching max?

A: @Mamun is right that you need to iterate over the toHighlight.  To get the full column highlighted you just need to get the index for each column and then set all of the "td, th" in that column.
Given this HTML:

  1
  7
  3
  7

  a
  b
  c
  d

It would use this JS:
var max='7';
var toHighlight = $('th').filter(function(){return $(this).text() == max});

$(toHighlight).each(function(a, colItem){
   var col = $(colItem).index();
   $("td, th").filter(":nth-child(" + (col + 1) + ")").css("background-color", "gold");
});

Here is a fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/yd4c013j/

A: You must want to use each() to iterate through your filtered trs.
Then, you can easily highlight all the elements using your code.
(You were quite close)
Here is a working snippet:

// I've done like max was a text.
var toHighlight = $('th').filter(function() {
  return $(this).text() == 'max'
});
$(toHighlight).each(function() {
  var col = $(this).index();
  $("td, th").filter(":nth-child(" + (col + 1) + ")").css("background-color", "gold");
})
td {
  border: 1px solid black;
  padding: 8px 32px;
}

      x
      max
      x
      max

      x
      x
      x
      x

      x
      x
      x
      x

      x
      x
      x
      x

      x
      x
      x
      x

I hope it helps.

When teachers learn, students learn. Teaching quality is improved through continuous professional learning. In order to remain effective in today''s classroom, teachers must be continuously looking at strategies to improve their practice. The needs of society and of our students continue to change.
Professional development is crucial and today, the most promising context for continuous professional learning is the professional learning community. In 2010, the Minister of Education struck a committee – the Professional Learning Communities (PLC) Study Committee – to study this topic and make recommendations to government.

At a Las Vegas workshop, experts want parents and other caregivers to talk with kids about the mass shooting to help them process their grief and work through any fear and anxiety they may be harboring nearing the anniversary.
Dr. David Schonfeld's youngest daughter vowed in fourth grade never to discuss the 9/11 terror attacks at school.
Her teachers hadn't talked about them — Schonfeld, a behavioral developmental pediatrician who specializes in childhood trauma and bereavement, would later discover — so his daughter figured they were uncomfortable topics best avoided.
And the last thing she wanted to do was cause greater discomfort.
Schonfeld, director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement, would like to prevent the Oct. 1 mass shooting from becoming a similarly taboo topic. Only by discussing the senseless event, he says, can adults help children who were and still are traumatized work through their grief and fears.
That was a key message he delivered Thursday at a two-hour workshop in Las Vegas on helping children through crises.
The workshop, presented in partnership by the school crisis center, the Nevada chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center and Clark County, included signs for parents and other caregivers to watch for in kids. A second session was held Thursday evening at 5:30 p.m. at the New York Life building on South Rainbow Boulevard.
The first step to help a child showing signs of trauma, grief or bereavement is to make a connection, Schonfeld said.
Schonfeld recommends a practice he refers to as psychological first aid. It involves being kind and calm, making people feel comfortable, listening and providing realistic reassurance. And it can be done in as little as 10 minutes, he said.
That means letting kids "own their feelings," he said, as opposed to telling them that they have no reason to feel fearful or anxious.
"If we dismiss the concerns of kids, we cannot give them appropriate advice," Schonfeld said. He pointed out that some children might be reminded of past traumas, like the death of a close family member, as the Oct. 1 anniversary approaches, and they might want to discuss those events, not just the shooting.
Though children are resilient, parents might want to limit exposure to graphic media on the shooting anniversary, especially for younger children, Dr. Pam Greenspon, a local pediatrician and representative of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said before the workshops.
Clark County School District employees, including counselors, social workers and some teachers, have undergone several training events since the shooting to help students deal with trauma and grief, said panelist Tammy Malich, assistant superintendent for the education services division.
Schonfeld reminded parents and educators to anticipate triggers that could retraumatize children and to be alert for potential symptoms of stress. Those can include anything from trouble sleeping, which often manifests as nightmares in younger children, to anxiety, fear, avoidance, sadness and feelings of guilt.
Some kids might even turn to substance abuse as a coping mechanism, he said.
As the anniversary of the shooting nears, the school district is encouraging teachers to talk about it in their classrooms at their own comfort levels and to let students who are struggling know that help is available, Malich said.
Surrounding the anniversary of the Oct. 1 shooting in Las Vegas, children may experience a recurrence of the emotions they felt in the incident's immediate aftermath, according to the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement.
— Talk to their children about their emotions and share their own feelings.
— Validate their kids' feelings and provide coping mechanisms.
— Help their children commemorate the incident.
For local help, parents are encouraged to reach out to the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center at 702-455-2433 or toll-free at 833-299-2433. They can also contact Adam's Place, a bereavement center geared toward children and families, at 702-339-0848.

Monterey County, California Bridges: Parkfield-Coalinga Road Bridge across Little Cholame Creek (and the San Andreas Fault)
We've traveled to the east side of Monterey County after spending two months along the coast. This week's bridge is in the town of Parkfield, which is famous for experiencing a moderate earthquake on the average of every 21 years (1857, 1881, 1901, 1922, 1934, 1966, 2004).
The Parkfield-Coalinga Road Bridge (44C0141) crosses over Little Cholame Creek, which is also the surface trace of the San Andreas Fault (the source of these recurring earthquakes). The fault is right lateral, which means when you face it, the plate across from you is moving to the right (see figure below). Therefore, a bridge crossing a right lateral fault would eventually have a flattened 'S' shape.
The photo below was taken by the US Geological Survey on September 29, 2004, one day after the 2004 earthquake. They reported that the bridge has about 5 ft of offset (due to the 2004 earthquake, the 1966 earthquake, and due to aseismic creep). However, the photo shows the bridge rail with a reverse 'S' shape. However, the abutments may have allowed the ends of the bridge to slide instead of restraining them.
In the photo below, we can see the girders are sitting on a seat-type abutment with shear keys a few feet to each side. Professor Goel reported that after the 2004 earthquake, "Angle iron apparently installed in an effort to restrain transverse motion of the superstructure at the bearings was knocked free."
I took photos of the abutments and piers to try to understand what happens to a bridge over a fault.
The first bridge at this site was built in 1936 (according to the University's Space Research Association) but it was replaced in 1960 with the current steel stringer bridge. However the 1960 bridge was recently retrofit with new concrete bent caps cast under the existing superstructure and with new CIDH piles cast on each side of the 'H' pile supports. The retrofitted structure obviously hadn't been around for the 1964 temblor, but the bridge may still have the displaced shape from the earlier earthquake.
During an earthquake, the bents on each side of the fault move in parallel but opposite directions. The superstructure is restrained to follow this offset by the bearings, the angle irons, and eventually by the concrete shear keys and to take on the noticeable 'S' or 'Z' shaped configuration.

China Coronavirus Democratic Transitions East Asia Elections Europe & Eurasia European Union Human Rights Indo-Pacific International Organizations Iran Maritime Security Middle East National Security Politics & Diplomacy Resilience & Society Rule of Law Russia Security & Defense South Asia Taiwan Trade United States and Canada Western Europe
State of the Order: Assessing March 2021
Reshaping the order
This month's topline events
US-China Showdown. In the first high-level meeting of US and Chinese officials since President Joe Biden took office, US Secretary of State Tony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan publicly called out China's threats to the rules-based order and its "assault on basic values." Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and top diplomat Yang Jiechi countered with a fifteen-minute rebuttal extolling China's virtues and castigating America's foreign military interventions and "deep seated human rights abuses." The two-day private meetings that followed were described as "candid" and expansive."
Shaping the order: The unusually frank comments and public acrimony between top US and Chinese officials suggest that relations between the two nations are headed toward a downward spiral, as the Biden administration elevates US concerns over human rights and other Chinese actions undermining the rules-based order.
Hitting Home: The Biden administration's actions reflect a bipartisan consensus in Congress to stand up to Beijing's growing assertiveness and defend US security and economic interests.
What to do: The administration should be commended for its willingness to publicly confront Beijing on its actions in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and other areas of concern. It should follow the meetings in Alaska by working closely with allies and partners to develop a clear plan of action to hold Beijing accountable for its continued violations of international norms.
Indo-Pacific Quad and NATO. President Biden joined the leaders of Australia, Japan, and India for the first-ever summit of the Indo-Pacific Quad, held virtually, that resulted in a joint statement committing to a region that is "free, open, inclusive, healthy, anchored by democratic values, and unconstrained by coercion." The Summit was preceded by Secretary of State Blinken's and Secretary of Defense Austin's first visit to Asia to meet with Japanese and Korean officials. After the summit, Blinken went on to make his first visit to Europe, where he met with EU officials and NATO foreign ministers and pledged to revitalize the transatlantic alliance.
Shaping the order: The Biden administration's decision to elevate the Quad to leaders' level and its early diplomatic forays into Asia and Europe signal a clear commitment to reinvigorate US democratic alliances and partnerships. Despite concerns that Donald Trump's repeated denigration of allies caused lasting damage, America's return to the global stage has been warmly received and suggests that allies continue to view American leadership as essential to addressing global challenges.
Hitting Home: Working with allies strengthens America's ability to respond to global threats and challenges and could lead to greater security for the United States and its citizens.
What to do: The administration should follow these important visits to Asia and Europe with an effort to bring allies across regions together to address key challenges, including by forging a new D-10.
China-Iran Axis. China and Iran signed a sweeping 25-year economic and security cooperation agreement in which China agreed to invest $400 billion in Iran, potentially including railroads, ports, and 5G networks, in exchange for a steady and heavily discounted supply of oil. The agreement reportedly called for deepening military cooperation, including joint training and exercises, joint research and weapons development, and intelligence-sharing.
Shaping the order: The agreements indicate that China's efforts to expand its influence in the Middle East are yielding success. The move reinforces the consolidation of a growing bloc of authoritarian nations eager to blunt the liberal, democratic world order.
Hitting Home: China's investments in the Iranian economy could help strengthen Tehran's ability to engage in terrorist activities against American Interests.
What to Do: The United States should look to reenter negotiations over Iran's nuclear program that include constraints on its malign regional influence. At the same time, the Biden administration should invest in an alliance of democracies to strengthen coordination on shared challenges, including Iran.
Quote of the Month
"The United States relationship with China will be competitive where it should be, collaborative where it can be, adversarial where it must be….Our intent is to be direct about our concerns, direct about our priorities, with the goal of a more clear-eyed relationship between our countries moving forward."
– US Secretary of State Tony Blinken
State of the Order this month: Strengthened
Assessing the five core pillars of the democratic world order
While several pillars remained unchanged, the Biden's administration's robust efforts to engage allies and partners significantly strengthened the alliances pillar, leading to our overall assessment that the democratic order was strengthened this month.
Democracy (↔)
In its latest move to tighten control over Hong Kong, China imposed a new law giving Beijing the power to block any candidate from seeking a seat in Hong Kong's parliament whom it deems "unpatriotic".
Russia's deputy defense minister traveled to Myanmar to showcase Moscow's steadfast support and desire to deepen a "strategic partnership," in the midst of the Myanmar military's crackdown on pro-democracy protesters.
According to Freedom House, the world experienced its 15th consecutive year of democratic decline in 2020. The latest Freedom in the World report indicates that India has dropped to "partly free" in light of government crackdowns on public protest and free speech, while the health of American democracy declined due especially to Trump's attempts to overturn last year's presidential election.
In a significant positive development, Britain, Canada, and the EU joined the United States to impose joint sanctions on senior Chinese officials involved in the mass internment of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, marking Europe's first human rights sanctions against Beijing since the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
The United States also imposed a series of new measures against Russian officials and entities in response to the alleged poisoning and subsequent imprisonment of Russian opposition politician Aleksey Navalny.
Overall, the democracy pillar was unchanged.
Security (↔)
North Korea launched two ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan in violation of UN security council resolutions, an action seemingly aimed at testing the Biden administration's resolve.
China increased its military activities around Taiwan, sending an aircraft carrier group to conduct drills near the island and stepped up incursions into Taiwan's air defense zone, raising substantial concerns of a military escalation or miscalculation by Beijing.
As noted above, China and Iran signed a 25-year cooperation agreement to strengthen the two nation's long-standing economic and political partnership.
Despite the concerns raised by these developments, the overall security pillar remained unchanged.
Trade (↔)
The European Parliament postponed its review of the EU-China investment agreement signed late last year, amid the fallout from Europe's imposition of sanctions against China related to Xinjiang and Beijing's retaliatory travel restrictions which place the future of the controversial agreement in doubt.
The US and the EU took a large step toward resolving their longstanding trade dispute by agreeing to suspend punitive tariffs related to aircraft subsidies for Boeing and Airbus.
The Suez Canal was reopened after a large container ship became lodged in a sandstorm, blocking the critical shipping node for six days and causing widespread disruptions to global trade.
Overall, the global trade pillar remained unchanged.
Commons (↔)
While vaccinations continue to ramp up in the United States and around the world, India and Europe saw significant spikes of confirmed coronavirus cases, largely due to the spread of variants that are more contagious.
Russia and China signed an agreement to jointly develop research facilities on the surface of the moon, as part of a larger effort to expand cooperation between the two nations.
President Biden invited Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to participate in a Global Climate Summit, a virtual event organized by the United States on April 22 and 23 that will include leaders from 40 nations and focus on global warming.
Overall, the global commons pillar was unchanged.
Alliances (↑)
As noted, President Biden met virtually with the leaders of other Quad countries, a move that elevates US coordination with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific around China and other challenges.
Biden also joined EU leaders for a European Council virtual summit meeting in a move intended to signal a sharp break from Trump's repeated aspersions of the European project.
US Secretary of State Blinken joined the NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels and met separately with his counterparts in the transatlantic quad – US, Britain, France, and Germany – as well as the Visegrad Four — Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Earlier, Blinken joined Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for a foreign and defense ministers meeting in Tokyo, and then Seoul, in an effort to reinvigorate US alliances with Japan and South Korea. Austin later traveled to New Delhi to discuss the expansion of defense ties between the two nations.
Overall, the democratic alliances pillar was strengthened.

What is the democratic world order? Also known as the liberal order, the rules-based order, or simply the free world, the democratic world order encompasses the rules, norms, alliances, and institutions created and supported by leading democracies over the past seven decades to foster security, democracy, prosperity, and a healthy planet.

To go to the beach you go right as you come out of Albatros. There is a short alley with restaurants and stores going to the beach.
Chairs, side tables and parasols can be rented on the beach for a day, a few days, a month. Everything is negotiable. If you take a drink in some places there is no charge for the chair.
Private teachers: there are a few teachers available in Cabarete.
Cabarete Language Institute is a school of languages located in Procab. Go on your right as you go out from Albatros. Take the first road to your right into Procab. There is a guardian at the gate who could show you where it is. It is on your right not far from the gate.
The caves of Cabarete are located at walking distance from Albatros. As you come out of the property you go on your left. You turn left at the first paved street going in the village behind Cabarete. The caves are located at the end of the street.
If you go on the beach to your right, there is a flame in front of a building. On one floor it is the usual disco bar and on the other floor there are latin dances. On the second floor of the building there is a dancing floor where you can dance under the stars. There are comfortable sofas around the dancing floor.
Drinks on the beach: there is a large selection of bars where to take a drink on the beach.

What are the CO2 Emissions from a Stainless Steel Lunch Box?
We Must Act Now
The issue of Carbon Emissions is becoming more and more pressing. The more we learn, the more we realise that human beings need to act to reduce our carbon footprint.
There are lots of human activities that produce CO2 such as taking fossil fuels from the earth and burning them. Others include degrading peatlands and forests to allow carbon trapped in the soils and plants to be released, and damaging sea beds that are rich in plant life.
We may wish to reduce our emissions but it can be hard to find reliable information to help us to make informed decisions. This can result feeling baffled, overwhelmed with greenwashing and can often lead to a "why bother?" attitude such as when you are told that the recycling that you carefully cleaned and sorted is sent to landfill!
Mintie Lunchboxes has decided to offset the carbon emissions of the production of our lunchboxes. This means that for the carbon dioxide emissions of every product that you buy, the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide will be absorbed through the carbon offsetting scheme run by Ecologi. There are several types of carbon offset schemes in place around the world and they include forestry, alternative energy, carbon capture and community projects. The projects we use are forestry (growing trees).
So how much CO2 is produced when you decide to buy a stainless steel lunchbox?
Steel production is an energy intensive process. It requires mining Iron, Nickel and Chromium; refining these ingredients and converting them to sheet stainless steel. This is where the bulk of the CO2 is emitted - in the generation of electricity. As you probably know, the CO2 that is emitted from alternative energy (wind, hydro, solar) and nuclear is very small, whilst gas is greater and coal being the worst. The energy mix is therefore a key factor.
Further to this, newer steel production methods that use electrical furnaces are more energy efficient than older blast furnaces that burn fuel directly.
The production of stainless steel products uses a relatively smaller amount of energy to cut and press; clean and polish. Other materials such as silicone used for seals and lids; and paper products used as packaging also create a small amount of CO2.
Then shipping from the factory to the warehouse and from the warehouse to the customer are similarly small.
Generally, across the industry, stainless steel production utilises up to 60% recycled content and 40% new materials. Of course, using recycled content reduced the carbon emissions dramatically as it avoids the first two steps of the process.
Here is a breakdown of the figures we use to calculate the CO2 emissions equivalent to the production of a Snug Midi Lunch Box
Source Quantity of CO2 in kg
Production of Stainless Steel 0.77
Manufacture of Lunchbox 0.19
Packaging 0.12
Silicone Seal 0.09
Shipping to UK 0.09
Shipping to Typical Customer 0.05
We have assumed a rate of 2kg CO2 per kg of Stainless Steel. This is the figure that research from the ISSF (The International Stainless Steel Forum) calculated.
The wider picture
When considering the carbon emissions of a product, the complete lifecycle should be taken into consideration. The two main factors here are the length of use (its life) and the recyclability. These are two areas that stainless steel really excels. Firstly, it lasts a really long time, it is tough and doesn't corrode, leading to a product that is useful for a really long time. Secondly, it is 100% recyclable. It is as good as new stainless steel when recycled, so it can be recycled over and over again.
Once produced, stainless steel has good long term utility and minimal environmental impact.

COSMIC END GAME: Coronavirus vaccines, depopulation and the demonic war to claim your soul for Satan
As we've been covering the coronavirus pandemic, I still haven't been able to communicate the full magnitude of what has been unleashed upon the world and what it means to you, dear reader.
It's a safe bet that half of the people reading this won't be alive by 2025. And that's all by design.
By now you know the coronavirus wasn't an accident. It was genetically engineered to exterminate humanity. It's release may have happened at an accidental time, but the intent was always to build a "hard kill" weapon that would unleash the economic collapse and global enslavement that would then enable the mass slaughter of obedient human beings by the demon-infested globalists who despise the human form.
Those depopulation-minded globalists, of course, are working on a euthanasia injection that will kill off the masses. They are going to label that death shot a "vaccine" in order to convince billions of people to obediently agree to be injected. Mr. Depopulation himself — Bill Gates — is furiously funding death injection factories that will be able to crank out lethal injections by the billions over the next 2-3 years. And unlike the attempted ethnic cleansing of the Third Reich in World War II, this time the sheeple will line up and beg to be killed, avoiding all the "messy business" of any organized resistance.
No bullets, no bombs, no gas chambers. Just mass graves quietly filled with medical euthanized sheeple who begged their captors for "immunity" but got death instead.
The war for human freedom is already lost
The war for human freedom has already been fought… and lost. Humanity has already proven itself to be a slave race of obedient followers, a kind "cosmic death cult" of low-level life forms that surrendered any redeeming value to the Tech Giants and the cyber-surveillance deep state long ago.
No dreams of consciousness, creativity or greatness are allowed to flourish in human society today. The average person just wants to be comfortable, coddled and told what to say, how to feel and what to think. Google controls their reality, disconnecting them from human knowledge and turning them into Programmable Life Forms (PLFs), a kind of hybrid "human borg" that unconsciously spews disinformation shunted into their brains from the WHO or CDC.
The average techno-connected person living today is cognitively retarded but exists under the self-delusion that they are uniquely brilliant. Yet they express no thoughts that aren't implanted into their awareness by Google, Facebook, Twitter or Youtube all of which are run by anti-human, pro-communism demons who perceive humans as disgusting biological waste to be discarded at the earliest convenience.
After years of trying to politely convince people to commit vaccine suicide, they've finally found the vehicle to overcome any real resistance: Covid-19.
Thanks to Covid-19, by the billions the sheeple / cattle of the world will obediently line up to be nasal swabbed, DNA mapped, medically prodded and calmly injected with deadly substances. Anything is acceptable as long as its described as a "vaccine," since nobody bothers to read the ingredients anyway. Those over the age of 60 will be encouraged to sign "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) orders before the injections, so that as they start to expire, no medical resources will be needed to contend with their care. The dying elderly will simply be placed in "euthanasia rooms" until they expire from starvation or dehydration, whichever happens first.
The vaccine will be part of a binary weapon to be activated with the release of the next bioweapon sequence
The vaccine won't kill you right away, of course. That would be too obvious and might dissuade people from taking it as word spreads about the fatalities. Rather, it will be one-half of a binary weapon that will kill you when they release the next engineered mutation of the coronavirus (or some other similarly infectious agent). That way, the mass deaths can be blamed on Mother Nature, since the obedient media will convince most people that every genetically engineered biological weapon was actually the result of a spontaneous orgy between a bat and an armadillo. That's the evil genius of bioweapons: They can always be blamed on nature, not the evil demons in human form who built them in the first place (the "death scientists").
If humanity had any sense of survival, there would be a worldwide call to arrest, prosecute and execute every last "death science" collaborator on the planet — that's what Prof. Francis Boyle has called for, and he's not wrong in understanding the severity of the threat against humanity that's now posed by the bioweapons industry (which is taxpayer funded, of course).
But humanity itself has no sense of survival. It is largely a suicide cult of pathetic, weak-minded snowflakes and obedient conformists who have surrendered any last shred of dignity in exchange for obedient conformity. The need for social acceptance among the masses is now so intense that otherwise rational people will publicly state that biological men can transform into biological women in order to appease their authoritarian peers. Any who oppose the delusions of the masses are ostracized from society and relegated to obscurity.
So when Bill Gates announces the availability of free coronavirus vaccines for the masses, the sheeple will line up by the billions, begging to be injected and implanted with Mark of the Beast technology so they can have the privilege of using the global cryptocurrency transaction system that replaces the collapsed dollars.
You are now fighting for not just your life, but your SOUL
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…
According to scripture, by participating in that Mark of the Beast system, you will be selling your soul to Satan, prohibiting your eternal soul from entering Heaven. Bill Gates is now openly talking about rolling this out, having biometrics or implanted devices that broadcast your coronavirus vaccine status to allow you to participate in society. Without such electronic marks on your hand or forehead, you will be prohibited from engaging in any societal functions, include transactions of commerce.
The Book of Revelation is finally here. End of days. The demonic entities have long taken over the bodies of former humans we once called "Bill Gates" or "George Soros," and using the power of propaganda and finance, they are now in the final chapter of building a global death machine that will finally achieve the most desirous aims of the anti-humanist Satan worshipers: The annihilation of humanity, Christianity, liberty and self-determination.
Their goal is to claim Earth for Satan while exterminating any remnants of the memory of Jesus Christ and his message for humanity.
The masses will be consumed — body, mind and soul — by the demonic forces that are projected through a Big Pharma needle, contaminating your blood with non-human RNA that alters your own genetic code, making you a "vessel of beckoning death" which will welcome the sweet smothering death of the next mutation that's released as the final solution against humanity.
The masses already worship death and blood, as evidenced in the mass celebration of post-birth abortions and the politically-protected worldwide blood trade in harvested organs and the living young. The world's wealthiest elite have protected and even partaken in such demonic bloodlust activities, swearing their souls to Satan in exchange for temporary power over a collapsing world. Jack "Demon" Dorsey is an agent of Satan, a war general of the Dark One, and an anti-human miscreant whose eternal suffering in Hell still won't be sufficient to return unto him the pain and suffering he has inflicted upon others.
There is no amount of suffering in this world, in fact, that can account for the evil that is being deliberately rolled out by the anti-humanists (all leaders of Big Tech are anti-humanists). Their true payment can only be extracted in the suffering beyond this world, as their dark souls slowly come to realize they have traded everything (their souls) for nothing (short-term power in a corrupt society).
If you take the coronavirus vaccine and seek the "antibody papers" that allow you to participate in this evil, corrupt society, you will be selling your soul to Satan for eternity, and there is no coming back from that.
Soon you will be forced to decide between Heaven and Hell, good vs. evil
By the year 2025, it's a safe bet that half the people who read this will no longer be living. Even worse, some smaller portion of those people will be burning in Hell, with no end to their suffering, for committing the eternal sin of violating the divinity of the human form — made in the image of God — in a reckless attempt to rejoin a low-wage workforce by "proving" you've had the jab.
It will be the most expensive decision of not just your life, but your eternal existence.
It would be far better to die from the virus and save your soul than sell them both to the demonic evil that now drives the vaccine industry. For this upcoming decision about the vaccine is not one merely of this world, it is a decision beyond this realm, with ramifications that you cannot even begin to imagine since your entire existence is still anchored to this temporary reality, filtered through your biological senses and illusion of separation from God.
That's why these vaccines will be tainted with the blood of aborted human fetal tissue in order to "claim" your surrender to medical cannibalism and trans-human genetic modification. Aborted human fetal tissue is already used in many of today's vaccines, and that fact is readily confirmed by the CDC. The genetic strains are called MRC-5 and WI-38. Both are harvested from aborted human babies as part of a demonic ritual involving blood harvesting from children and the "marking" of new human "property" of Satan who agree to accept the blood of those who are sacrificed for evil.
If you agree to take the coronavirus vaccine, you will be sealing a contract with Satan that confirms your agreement to be marked with the blood of sacrificed children. You will become the property of Satan. This is irreversible on a cosmic scale.
Those who decide to resist the mandatory coronavirus vaccine will have to fight for their lives against vaccine authoritarianism run amok. Armed assault teams form the CDC will force vaccinate anyone they can capture. Notably, if you do not consent to the vaccination, you can still save your soul, even if you die from the injection. Consent can only be given; it cannot be taken at gunpoint, against your will. Your soul can only be claimed by Satan if you voluntarily surrender it by consenting to be marked with the blood harvested from ritually sacrificed children whose organs are routinely used by the vaccine industry to grow cell cultures for vaccines.
This is why you and I must all fight for survival against the vaccine assault teams, all of whom will be manned by agents of Satan who are working to steal souls and inflict great suffering and death upon the people.
Prepare for the ultimate battle for your eternal soul. Your soul is bulletproof. They cannot take it unless you give it to them. They can kill your body, or they can maim your biology against your will, but they cannot take your soul without your consent.
Remember that principle and we both might meet again after all this.
In the mean time, we all have a duty to fight with every last fiber of our being against medial tyranny and forced vaccinations, for those who attempt to carry out such assaults upon human beings are, themselves, violent criminals engaged in felony assaults that must be stopped using all legal means at our disposal.
Read this story to learn the truth that isn't allowed to be stated on Google, Facebook, YouTube or Twitter: "MEDICAL HORROR: Genetic sequencing of common vaccine finds entire male human genome from aborted human baby… "a complete individual genome" with abnormal, modified genes… 560 genes linked to cancer."
Also don't miss: Amazon bans "anti-vaccine" films, but gladly sells books on the religious worship of Satanism, with chapters on "teenage Satanists" and "animal sacrifice".
