BLUES OFFER HULL NEARLY $1 MILLION A YEAR
SHARE BLUES OFFER HULL NEARLY $1 MILLION A YEAR
The St. Louis Blues have made what they term "a sensational" contract offer to right wing Brett Hull, who led the National Hockey League with 72 goals in his option season.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Friday that the Blues are offering Hull a two-year deal for nearly $1 million a year, with an option year and a healthy signing bonus. Hull has said he wants $1 million a year, "no more, no less."Hull, 25, can become a free agent July 1.
Hull's goal total was an NHL record for a right wing, and he had a team-record 113 points. Last year he made $125,000, well down the list among Blues players.


Iowa is currently ranked 48th in the nation for animal protection laws, according to Animal Legal Defense Fund's 2018 U.S. Animal Protection Laws Rankings Report, while our neighbor, Illinois, has maintained the number one spot for the last eleven years.
Current companion animal cruelty laws, specifically 717B Injury to Animals Other Than Livestock, contain numerous loopholes and ambiguities that make it challenging for law enforcement and county attorneys to hold those who have harmed animals accountable and protect pets from offenders in the future. They also do little to deter first-time or repeat offenders and make it difficult to take a proactive approach to animal welfare issues.
Current code includes an owner exemption for animal abuse, the requirement to prove "depraved or sadistic intent" for animal torture, and no clear standards of care such as "adequate shelter." The majority of offenses are also misdemeanor charges, with Iowa as one of only two states without a first offense felony charge for egregious animal cruelty, outside of animal fighting.
Given the proven link between animal cruelty and other crimes including child abuse, domestic violence, and elder abuse, improving Iowa's companion animal cruelty laws is as much about protecting our communities as our pets.

"College Hill 4" Wiki to Foster Fan Fervor
WEBWIRE – Monday, April 16, 2007
SEATTLE, WA - The 1.6 million viewers who tuned-in on March 6 to watch the special one-hour premiere of BET's signature hit reality TV series "COLLEGE HILL 4", can turn to the network-sponsored "College Hill" Wiki to track each episode, share pictures and video, and gossip about the new cast of housemates.
At the official "College Hill" Wiki, fans can post questions or comments about previous shows as well as discuss developing events and relationships in the lives of the eight college-age housemates. They can also post questions or send shoutouts to the housemates and the show's producers, contribute to the episode guides and collaborative housemate bios, and test their "College Hill" IQ with the ultimate fan-created "College Hill" Trivia Challenge.
"Creating a good show is one thing -- building a relationship between viewers, characters, and even advertisers is another," said Ben Elowitz, CEO and cofounder of Wetpaint. "Wetpaint Wikis facilitate those connections, contributing to the staying power of hit shows like 'College Hill.'"
"College Hill" is TV's most addictive Black reality series. The highly anticipated fourth season follows the real-life dramas of a new cast of eight students from the University of the Virgin Islands in St. Thomas -- and BET was there to capture every uncensored moment.
"Fans of 'College Hill' love talking about the episodes and developments with other viewers," said Brucetta Williams, Vice President of Off-Channel Marketing at BET. "Our official 'College Hill' Wiki not only gives our most passionate fans a place to share thoughts and predictions, it helps BET build more buzz around the show. Nothing else gives us this kind of direct-line contact with our most dedicated viewers."
The official "College Hill" Wiki -- sponsored by BET and powered by Wetpaint -- is just one of more than 250,000 sites that have been created with Wetpaint technology since the June 2006 launch of the company's consumer Wiki platform. The ease of use, among other things, has helped Wetpaint net more than three million user contributions over the last nine months.
Wetpaint: Riding the User-Generated Content Wave
By all accounts, the Wetpaint Wiki platform has seen massive adoption as part of the UGC trend. Through the power of collaboration, Wetpaint sites grow much more rapidly than traditional websites, which require the original site creator to do all the work. Capitalizing on the same trends and business models that put UGC at the center of Time magazine's Person of the Year profile and Google's 2006 Hot List, Wetpaint goes beyond the "you" of social networks to empower groups of "we" to dynamically create collaborative Wiki sites faster and easier than ever before.

Consumer Reports and IIHS Team Up to Recommend Used Vehicle options for Teens
YONKERS, NY, and ARLINGTON, VA — Consumer Reports (CR) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) are teaming up for the first time to recommend safe, reliable and affordable used vehicles for teenage drivers.
In recent years, both organizations have released lists of recommended vehicles for teens, using slightly different selection criteria. By joining forces, CR and IIHS are making it even easier for young drivers or their parents to find a vehicle that checks all the boxes for safety, performance and reliability.
Teenagers are among the riskiest drivers, but they frequently end up with vehicles that don't provide adequate protection in a crash. Often, they find themselves driving old cars that lack modern safety features like side airbags or electronic stability control (ESC). When teenagers do get behind the wheel of a new car, it's usually one of the smallest models, which don't protect as well as larger vehicles in crashes.
Reliability is another key consideration. A young driver's first car will probably need to last for years, and parents don't want their teen stranded because of a breakdown.
The list of 65 recommended used vehicles, ranging from $5,300 to $19,600, shows that safety can be both affordable and practical.
"Our focus has always been safety, as reflected in our vehicle ratings, but we recognize that a lot of other factors go into families' purchasing decisions," says IIHS President David Harkey. "This partnership with Consumer Reports will help new drivers and their parents zero in on the best used vehicles overall."
"We are delighted to be able to team up with IIHS to jointly develop a list of used vehicles for teens that deliver a smart and effective combination of safety technology and reliability, all without breaking the bank," says Jennifer Stockburger, director of operations at CR's Auto Test Center. "Vehicles on this list can help teens stay safe as they gain driving experience."
Although the list is intended specifically for teen drivers, the organizations emphasize that it can be a resource for anyone looking for a safe, reliable and affordable used car.
Consumers who consult the list won't find any sports cars or other vehicles with excessive horsepower because these vehicles can tempt teens to test the limits. In addition, there are no minicars or vehicles under 2,750 pounds. The biggest, heaviest vehicles, including those in the large SUV class, have also been left off the list because they can be hard to handle and often have increased braking distances.
Page 2 | Consumer Reports & IIHS joint news release | July 30, 2020
The list of recommended vehicles is divided into Good Choices and Best Choices, which offer a slightly higher level of safety. Both Good Choices and Best Choices have:
• standard ESC
• above-average reliability, based on CR's member survey, for the majority of the years listed
• average or better scores from CR's emergency handling tests
• dry braking distances of less than 145 feet from 60 mph in CR's brake tests
• good ratings in four IIHS crashworthiness tests — moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints
• four or five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (if rated)
In addition, the Best Choices have a good or acceptable rating in the IIHS driver-side small overlap front test, which was launched in 2012. The test replicates what happens when the front left corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object like a tree or utility pole.
The top tier also excludes vehicles that have substantially higher than average insurance claim rates under medical payment or personal injury protection coverage. Both coverage types pay for injuries to occupants of the insured vehicle. The Highway Loss Data Institute, an IIHS affiliate, collects and publishes insurance loss data by make and model every year. The results are adjusted for driver age, gender and other factors that could affect risk.
"Injury claims provide another window onto safety in the real world and may capture things that crash tests don't," Harkey says.
Before buying a specific used vehicle, consumers should check for outstanding recalls and have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic.
CR puts every car it purchases through more than 50 tests and evaluations and supplements that information with reliability and owner satisfaction data from its surveyed members. From these collective insights, CR has long produced recommendations for the best cars for teens, with an emphasis on performance, safety and reliability.
IIHS is best known for crash tests of new vehicles and the annual TOP SAFETY PICK awards. The Institute began issuing used vehicle recommendations in 2014 after IIHS researchers found that teenagers were likely to drive very old or very small vehicles.
See the following pages for the complete list of recommended vehicles.
For more information from CR, go to consumerreports.org Consumer Reports is a nonprofit membership organization that works side by side with consumers to create a fairer, safer and healthier world. For 80 years, CR has provided evidence-based product testing and ratings, rigorous research, hard-hitting investigative journalism, public education and steadfast policy action on behalf of consumers' interests.
For more information from IIHS, go to iihs.org
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing the losses — deaths, injuries and property damage — from motor vehicle crashes. IIHS is wholly supported by auto insurers.
Consumer Reports & IIHS recommended used vehicles for teens | July 30, 2020
Recommended used vehicles for teens starting under $20,000
All listed vehicles earn good ratings in the IIHS moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. If rated by NHTSA, they earn 4 or 5 stars overall or 4 or 5 stars in the front and side tests under the old rating scheme. All come with standard ESC and have a curb weight greater than 2,750 pounds.
In addition, all recommended vehicles have above-average reliability scores from CR (4 or 5 out of 5) for the majority of model years listed and CR emergency handling scores greater than or equal to 3 out of 5. They also have dry braking distances (going from 60 mph to zero) of 145 feet or less.
Prices, provided by Kelley Blue Book and rounded to the nearest $100, are average U.S. values from July 1, 2020, for the lowest trim level and earliest applicable model year. The estimates are based on the following criteria: vehicle in good condition, typical mileage and private party purchase.
Some listed models include a "built after" date. This applies when a manufacturer makes changes to improve safety in the middle of a model year. Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured can be found on the certification label typically affixed to the driver door or near it.
Best Choices
In addition to the criteria listed above, these vehicles also have a good or acceptable rating in the IIHS driver-side small overlap crash test, and none of them have substantially higher than average insurance claim rates under first-party injury coverages.

Q: change div style according to values passed as argument to javascript here is javascript what i have tried

function toggle(clicked_id,name) {
   alert(clicked_id);
   alert(name);
   var text = document.getElementById("clicked_id");
   var ele = document.getElementById("name");
   alert(ele.style.display);
   if(ele.style.display == "block") {
        ele.style.display = "none";
    text.innerHTML = "+";
    text.value="+"
     }
   else {
    ele.style.display = "block";
    text.innerHTML = "-";
    text.value="-"
   }
   return
  }

and html is

<input type="button" id="displayText1" onClick="return toggle(this.id,this.name)" value="+" style="margin-left:86%;" name="toggleText1">

Wallet Info Here

<input type="button" id="displayText2" onClick="toggle(this.id,this.name)" value="+" style="margin-left:86%;" name="toggleText2">

Wallet Info Here

i tried this but only alerts i am getting..no change in div style. That is not changing to hide or show mode

A: Issue is this:
var text = document.getElementById("clicked_id"); // func arg is in string format
var ele = document.getElementById("name");  // func arg is in string format

You have to use it without quotes.
var text = document.getElementById(clicked_id);
var ele = document.getElementById(name);

yet there is a better way of doing this, you can do something like this:
<input type="button" id="displayText1" onClick="toggle(this)" value="+" style="margin-left:86%;" name="toggleText1">

<input type="button" id="displayText2" onClick="toggle(this)" value="+" style="margin-left:86%;" name="toggleText2">

just pass this in the argument and you can change the function like this:
function toggle(el) {
    var text = el;
    var ele = document.getElementById(el.name);
    if(ele.style.display == "block") {
        ele.style.display = "none";
        text.innerHTML = "+";
        text.value="+"
    } else {
        ele.style.display = "block";
        text.innerHTML = "-";
        text.value="-"
    }
}

As you don't need to return anything it is just a dom manipulation stuff, so you can remove the return statement.
I suggest you to avoid inline event handlers, so if you are interested in unobtrusive javascript then you can place this event handler in a js file with that toggle() function and you can use it:
document.getElementById('displayText1').addEventListener('click', function(){
    toggle(this);
});
document.getElementById('displayText2').addEventListener('click', function(){
    toggle(this);
});

or with querySelectorAll method:
document.querySelectorAll('#displayText1, #displayText2').addEventListener('click', function(){
        toggle(this);
    });

A: Just remove quotes around variable name
var text = document.getElementById(clicked_id);
var ele = document.getElementById(name);

DEMO

A: The quotes around the variables "clicked_id" and "name" causes them to act as string. And there are no elements with these id.
Just remove the quotes and things will work out.
var text = document.getElementById(clicked_id);

var ele = document.getElementById(name);

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have said a material called graphene could cause lung damage in people who work with it.
The material is used to make computer and mobile phone touch screens. Professor Ken Donaldson, chair of respiratory toxicology at the university, said: "We need to further assess the potential hazards posed by nanoplatelets made of graphene and other materials, so that appropriate health and safety measures can be put in place for those involved in their manufacture."

I underestimated the actual size of the PS5 and Xbox Series X
More power needs its space – apparently also on the shelf. It has long been known that the PS5 and Xbox Series X & S are pretty gigantic. A number of practical illustrations now illustrate their relative proportions according to the published dimensions – the result: I have to renovate my living room.
The crudest data on PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is finally out. This also includes the exact dimensions of the next generation consoles. Illustrator Kei Sawada has on Twitter now posted a series of images showing all consoles side by side against different sizes of TVs. Above all, the dimensions of the PS5 exceed the capacity of my establishment. Anyone who has ever had their PlayStation on a conventional shelf should eventually contact the interior designer they trust.
Better at the top than at the bottom: Next-gen consoles are taller
Pictures show that the PS5 is almost as high as a Nintendo Switch in the dock, even when lying down. But the Xbox Series X and S also require more space and may no longer fit into all of the shelf compartments. The new consoles are better placed on a surface, but there they are also clearly visible and no longer integrate so subtly into the interior.
You can see the entire set of images in its entirety on Twitter .
The PS5 is heavier than the PS4 Pro, but hopefully quieter
The operating temperature and volume of the new consoles are not yet known. If you want to hide your PS5 in the wall unit, you need to ensure adequate ventilation. What we already know is the weight of the new PlayStation: it weighs over a kilo more than the previous model, the version without a disc drive weighs about 600 grams less than the normal PS5. The new Dual Sense controller also weighs more than the DualShock 4.

Bye Bye Bargeboards (Bargeboards Goodbye): An Ode to the Bargeboard
With the 2022 rule change on the horizon bargeboards will no longer be a feature of F1 cars, but what are they, how do they work, and will F1's designers be able to replicate their function in 2022? The origin of bargeboards The first examples of bargeboards can be found in 1985, with both the Lotus 97T and McLaren MP4/2B cars sporting similar devices behind their front tyres. F1 cars at this point were up to 2.15m wide with a 1.4m wide body, compared to 2m wide car with a 1.6m body as has been the case since 2017 and will continue to be so from 2022, so the front tyre wake was naturally more outboard of the sensitive underbody than is the case with more contemporary cars. The front...

How Good Eating Habits Can Affect Your older adults Health?
How Good Eating Habits Can Affect Your Senior's Health?
Diet plays an important part in anyone's fitness and health. However, many do not pay attention to their eating habits, especially seniors. In the retirement years, it is important for seniors to eat well, as it affects their health greatly. Here is how good eating habits can affect your loved one's health.
Improve physical health – With a healthy diet, your senior will get all the nutrients they need when aging. They will feel more energetic and active. With the good amounts of calories, fats and nutrients, their physical health will improve along with their immunity. It will also protect them from health problems like high blood pressure.
Improve mental health – Eating well affects mental health too. With a healthy diet, your loved one will get nutrients to protect themselves from diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia. Good diet will also reduce their stress and anxiety. Adding fruit, vegetables, and fish and nuts in their diet will be good for their mental health.
Maintain a healthy weight – Maintaining a good diet (less fat and more nutrients) will help them maintain a healthy weight too.
It shows that improving diet helps older adults stay healthy and live longer. However, the fact that many seniors cannot spend lots of time in kitchen and prepare healthy meals (due to aging, medical conditions, and mobility issues) should be considered. In such situations, your loved one will need assistance in the kitchen and probably daily living too. You can hire in home care providers from a noted firm in Metro Detroit. These caregivers can manage meals and go grocery shopping for your loved one.

Things to do in Bristol
Premium cocktail delivery service expands after smashing crowdfunder target
The Bottled Bartender is now delivering to discerning drinkers all over the UK

A premium cocktail delivery service which started out in Bristol three years ago will start sending its drinks to people all over the UK from this weekend.
The Bottled Bartender has raised more than £60,000 through a crowdfund campaign, which has enabled it to secure a dedicated production facility in Newport.
It had previously had to shut up shop after being overwhelmed with orders in 2018, but is now back and bigger than ever after smashing its fundraising target of £50,000 on Crowdcube.
"With the facility up and running, we can finally deliver at scale," said Nick Lewis, founder and operations director of The Bottled Bartender, who started the business in his Bristol kitchen.
Nick Lewis began by mixing drinks at his home, but now has a dedicated production facility
"Since July we've only been fulfilling large corporate orders, but from September 5 we finally open to the public.
"Now, anyone can order a top notch bar quality cocktail, hand mixed, and have it courier delivered to their door the next day."

According to recent Nielsen data, the ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail market is booming due to shifting consumer habits, restrictions on bars and economic concerns.
Nick therefore believes now is the perfect time to take his business to the next level.

"Since opening we have had numerous enquiries from retail customers as to when we are fully opening," he added.
"It's very exciting to finally say that time is now."
The idea for the company came to Nick in 2017, when he craved a decent cocktail but didn't want to buy expensive ingredients and mix them.
That was the moment he had the idea for a high-end cocktail delivery service, and he hasn't looked back since.
A year later the Bristol start-up was featured by a number of national media outlets including Cosmopolitan, The Sun, The Metro and Pretty 52 - when Nick was still doing everything from his kitchen.
Nick added: "What makes The Bottled Bartender unique is that we only use premium ingredients, the exact same spirits and mixers a swanky cocktail bar would use - but at a fraction of the price.
"People want the quality cocktail experience without all the fuss and we deliver that."

Innovation in Action: Lessons From Healthcare Innovators That Rapidly Pivoted To Respond to COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we work, pushing all of us to think in new ways and adapt to new circumstances. Health-focused social enterprises are no exception, as they've quickly responded to new realities by shifting their modes of patient engagement and even developing entirely new programs.
Innovations in Healthcare, a nonprofit organization housed at Duke University, studied a group of health innovation leaders working in low- and middle-income countries to further understand their COVID-19 responses. The organizations we studied received grants from The Pfizer Foundation's Global Health Innovation Grants (GHIG) program, which supports projects that seek to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases for underserved populations in low- and middle-income countries. (Innovations in Healthcare is the independent monitoring and evaluation partner to The Pfizer Foundation for the GHIG program.)
Drawing from their entrepreneurial roots, these health-focused innovators have embraced agile thinking, enabling them to continue providing care and maintaining trust during a period of rampant uncertainty. We collected in-depth accounts of these organizations' on-the-ground experiences developing and implementing new ideas in response to COVID-19, highlighting the ways that they pivoted their work to best adapt to new circumstances. Below, we'll explore how some of these innovators made rapid adjustments to their services and care delivery models to navigate the challenges of the pandemic.
How Four Organizations Adapted to COVID-19
The 2020 MicroClinic Initiative (2020 MCI) focuses on delivering healthcare and health education to underserved low-wage workers in Kenya. One of its key programs is a series of workplace wellness events held in partnership with employers, during which groups of employees are able to conveniently access screenings, referrals and health education at their workplaces. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic quickly rendered these workplace events impractical.
With a key component of its patient outreach disrupted, 2020 MCI was forced to develop new, creative ways to adjust its usual operations to generate impact and provide health services to vulnerable groups. A fortuitous connection with a leader in the local motorbike delivery community sparked a new idea: 2020 MCI partnered with these motorbike riders to implement a door-to-door medication delivery and telemedicine service that would reach people directly in their homes. With this new program, the organization adapted to the new realities of service delivery and patient access to care presented by the pandemic, and it was able to reach its target patient population.
Fundación Vive con Bienestar (Bive) was working to reduce the burden of cervical cancer in rural Colombia by offering early screening, diagnosis and treatment for HPV, along with education and vaccination campaigns. With the emergence of the pandemic, Bive shifted its work to focus on community education and outreach about COVID-19, providing farming communities with information, infection prevention kits, screening and risk assessments, and connections to local hospitals for further treatment.
THINKMD develops health technology platforms that offer clinical assessment tools to help health workers make appropriate, evidence-based decisions that can improve the quality of health in low- and middle-income countries. In response to COVID-19, the THINKMD team leveraged its technical skills and expertise to develop a digital COVID-19 screening tool, and worked with implementation partners on the ground to distribute the tool to vulnerable communities.
The Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action (SNEHA) had been carrying out door-to-door outreach in India to provide health education; screenings focusing on maternal, child and newborn health; and referrals to local medical facilities for treatment. As part of its original project, SNEHA also supported health systems strengthening through health worker training. To adapt to COVID-19, the organization shifted away from in-person communications for many of these activities, using telephone hotlines, television broadcasts and loudspeaker announcements for community education, along with online training for health systems strengthening. It leveraged its close relationships within its target communities to adjust its activities to best meet specific community needs.
Learning from Innovative Responses to the Pandemic
We explored these four innovators' experiences in greater depth by developing a set of case studies detailing the processes, challenges and learnings that drove their responses to COVID-19. Based on what we learned about the experiences of these organizations and of the larger cohort of GHIG innovators, we found that partnerships were often instrumental to innovators' efforts to navigate the pandemic, providing opportunities for collaborations that further facilitated rapid and effective response measures. To further explore the topic of partnerships, we developed a white paper examining the role of partnerships in responding to the crisis.
We found that partnerships with health facilities and systems, and with government organizations, were particularly impactful in enabling and improving innovators' COVID-19 responses. Partnerships with health facilities and systems helped organizations reach patient populations, and created opportunities for joint efforts on healthcare worker trainings, community outreach and resource procurement. Partnerships with government brought knowledge- and data-sharing benefits to innovators, who often strategically aligned their responses with public sector programs and initiatives. Additionally, partnerships that had been established before the pandemic were especially valuable, highlighting the importance of continually building strong relationships so that a reliable network of partners can be accessed for collaboration in times of crisis.
Drawing from our findings from the white paper and the set of four case studies, we identified the following key lessons for social enterprises that seek to adapt to unexpected crises like the COVID-19 pandemic:
Even in the face of uncertainty and change, it is important to stay true to the organization's core mission and values.
Flexibility in adapting and implementing new programs based on data and evidence is critical to meeting the changing needs of a target community and/or consumer base.
Partnerships grounded in mutual trust and clearly defined roles and expectations are key to reaching and engaging with target populations in times of uncertainty and crisis.
Partnerships with health facilities and systems, both public and private, and local community members, leaders and groups can create greater opportunities for impact at scale while building local ownership and sustainability for the future.
We believe these insights can provide useful guidance to impact-focused enterprises and organizations during the current crisis, while helping them prepare for future ones. Read the full case studies and white paper on our website.

Q: How to find overlaps between two different dataframes and write overlap into corresponding bins How to find overlaps between two different dataframes and then write this data into corresponding bins?
For example I would have a dataframe (represented by the first table here) that contains the start and end points of a subset of e.g. a sequence of numbers ranging from 0 to 10.000, but those subsets give no information about the rest of those 10.000 numbers/do not contain them.

Chromosome
Start
End
Length

ch1
151
250
100

ch1
301
410
110

ch1
461
500
40

ch+n
n
n
n

Another dataframe (represented by the second table) is consisting of small, 100 numbers-short intervalls spanning this whole sequence, from 0 to 10.000.

Chromosome
bin
BinStart
BinEnd
Number of Overlaps

ch1
1
1
100

ch1
2
101
201

ch1
3
301
400

ch1
4
401
500

ch+n
n
n
n

The different dataframes therefore also have a different number of rows, and the first only spans parts of the 10.000 numbers, while the second spans all of it.
I thought of using a loop that goes through each the BinStart and BinEnd of each row, then looks if the intervall is between the one of the Start and End values of the first dataframe, then fill the Number of Overlaps column, but did not know how to accomplish that.
Perhaps I should divide my bins into bins spanning only 1 number, and check if this one number is between two values, then if yes = fill with the number 1, if no = with the number 0, and later merge my bins again into bins spanning 100 numbers?
The output/result at the end should look like this:

Chromosome
bin
Start
End
Number of Overlaps

ch1
1
1
100
0

ch1
2
101
201
50

3
301
400
100

ch1
4
401
500
50

Are maybe the mutate function of dplyr or the findOverlaps or the GenomicRanges package useful here?
Thank you all in advance, and have a nice weekend!

The touching tribute to Princess Diana in the official royal wedding portraits.
Jessica Wang
Lifestyle Writer
From the bride's dazzling aquamarine ring at the reception, to the choice of flowers, Princess Diana's memory was truly honoured at the royal wedding.
Now, eagle-eyed observers have noticed another tribute to Harry's beloved mother in the official portraits taken by Alexi Lubomirski, released by Kensington Palace last night.
The green silk upholstered lounge seen in the photos is the very same one Diana sat on for photographs of Prince Harry's christening on the 21st of December, 1984.
In the original pictures, Princess Diana is holding a baby Harry surrounded by members of the royal family including the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William, who are sat on matching chairs.

Prince Harry was just 12 years old when his mum was tragically killed in a car crash.
In an interview with Good Morning America in 2016 he said that he and his brother Prince William attribute a lot of their charity work to their mother's memory.
"We do everything we can to make sure that she's never forgotten and carry on all of the special gifts, as such, that she had and that she portrayed when she was alive," he said.
"I think losing your mother at such a young age does end up shaping your life, massively. Of course it does."

If You Ask Me March 2017
Tale of two visits
UK and Japan contact with Donald Trump gets contrasting response
By Ian de Stains OBE
Prime Minister Theresa May met with US President Donald Trump in January.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appears to have earned brownie points following his recent trip to the United States for talks with President Donald Trump. Ahead of the visit, there was much scepticism in the Japanese media about the possible outcome, but afterwards a Kyodo news poll showed that 70% of Japanese people were satisfied with the results of the talks, and Abe's personal approval ratings rose to around 62%, up slightly from a month earlier.
One of the most important issues for Japan is defence. Trump promised that the United States was "committed to the security of Japan and all areas under its administrative control". This was seen as a reference to the American guarantee to defend Japan in any confrontation with China over the disputed Senkaku Islands—known in China as the Diaoyu—in the East China Sea.
Trade also featured. During the election campaign, Trump accused Japan of unfair practices, particularly over automotive exports. During the meetings in the United States, the two countries decided on a new economic dialogue focusing mainly on three areas: monetary policy, co-operative projects and trade.
The two leaders delegated responsibility for this dialogue to Vice-President Mike Pence and Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso (who is also minister of finance). Pence was a supporter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major trade deal strongly championed by Abe. But in one of his earliest acts as president, Trump pulled out.
No date has yet been set for Pence to visit Japan and for talks to begin.
A different reaction
Meanwhile, in the UK there is furious debate over another proposed visit. When Prime Minister Theresa May visited Washington in January, she invited Trump to pay a state visit to the UK. Many MPs feel this was premature and are calling for the invitation to be cancelled.
A state visit, they argue, is a rare privilege that, since the 1950s, has only been given to two other US presidents—George W Bush and Barack Obama—who were well into their terms in office. An online petition against a Trump state visit gathered more than 1.8 million signatures saying a formal visit "would cause embarrassment to her majesty the queen".
State visits differ from official visits, as they see foreign guests welcomed with royal pomp and military ceremony. Most stay at Buckingham Palace as guests of the queen, and one opposition MP, Paul Flynn, said a state visit would make it appear as if the queen were "approving the acts of Donald J Trump". He said that the president had displayed an "Orwellian" disregard for the truth and behaved "like a petulant child".
No date has yet been set for the proposed visit, which is supported by an opposing petition that garnered 300,000 signatures. Speaking in favour of the visit, the Conservative Party politician Jacob Rees-Mogg questioned whether Flynn had complained on the occasion of Emperor Hirohito's state visit in 1971.
The invitation to Trump has proved to be highly controversial, especially following his executive order barring citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US. There have been protests and demonstrations in several UK towns and cities, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan has urged the government to reconsider. Even John Bercow, the House of Commons speaker, has come out against the invitation, although by convention, the role is politically neutral. He has said that Trump should not be invited to address parliament.
The British government, however, insists that the visit will go ahead later this year.

Rehab 4 Addiction is a free and impartial helpline for people seeking drug or alcohol addiction treatment in Wandsworth, London. If you are sick and tired of your addiction, if you want to enter recovery and if you are willing to undue the damaged inflicted by your addiction, then get in touch with Rehab 4 Addiction today on 0800 140 4690.
When you contact Rehab 4 Addiction, we outline a variety of treatment options available to you in Wandsworth. These options include outpatient therapy, home detoxification, residential rehabilitation, harm reduction programmes and local support groups.
If you choose to go to rehab for your drug or alcohol addiction in Wandsworth, you will need to make arrangements to cover your responsibilities whilst you are away. The average rehab programme runs for around 28 days in duration, although shorter programmes may be available in Wandsworth. When you contact Rehab 4 Addiction, we shall explain in great detail what going to rehab actually entails. This will psychologically prepare you for going to rehab in Wandsworth.
Going to rehab is never to be taken lightly. However, the investment of time you make to your rehab efforts will pay off substantially. You will eliminate your addiction, and become a stronger person in the process. This mental shift is largely due to the amount of quality counselling you will receive during your rehab programme. During therapy sessions, you will discover your exact 'triggers of addiction', and you will then develop proven strategies that will allow you to live your life without giving in to these triggers.
The first stage of rehab involves an assessment. This assessment is carried out by a medical professional. This professional is typically a psychiatrist. During this assessment, you will discuss your mental state-of-health. You will also discuss your addiction history. Once this assessment is complete, the medical professional will then prescribe you a suitable detox programme. This programme includes prescription medications designed to eliminate withdrawal symptoms.
Detoxification describes the process where drugs or alcohol are taken away from you in a controlled and safe manner. These drugs are abruptly removed, however, you will be given prescription medications that act on the brain in a similar manner to drugs or alcohol. This allows you to withdrawal without triggering a seizure or cardiac arrest. During this time, you will also benefit from constant observation from the clinic's medical team.
Both during and after your detox programme, you will attend daily therapy sessions. These sessions take place either in small groups, or one-to-one with a qualified therapist. A rehab programme without therapy sessions is known as a pure detox programme. This type of programme is highly inadvisable. Undergoing a detox on its own may mean you are safely taken off drugs or alcohol, but the lack of psychological treatment means you are much more likely to relapse following the completion of your detox programme. To avoid this risk, consider investing in a rehab programme that incorporates a detox programme and an element of therapy.
Therapy sessions generally take place in group settings. Group therapy is then combined with individual therapy sessions. Group therapy is advantageous because peer learning takes place. Also, group therapy allows the group to offer feedback to individual members' discussions. Individual therapy is advantageous because it allows you to discuss with a qualified therapist issues you may have otherwise found it difficult to discuss in the company of the group.
Following the completion of your rehab programme, you must return to the rehab centre at least once a week in the form of aftercare sessions. These aftercare sessions allow you to address ongoing urges to return to drugs or alcohol. Aftercare aims to assist you in achieving your long-term abstinence goals. Attending regular aftercare sessions significantly increases your odds of remaining in recovery. You must attempt to attend as many aftercare sessions as possible during your treatment programme.
For more information about attending a drug or alcohol rehab facility in Wandsworth or across London, contact Rehab 4 Addiction today on 0800 140 4690. We offer the help and support you require through this testing time. We promise you will not regret making this initial call for help.

Late August of 2007 I enjoyed a much too brief period in the field observing blue whales with two other members of the MICS team in the Forestville-Escoumins area. In a summer of disruptive weather we were presented with one of those remarkable flat calm, clear days, which make working at sea in a small boat a pleasure. The summer, however, had yielded few blue whale sightings and no more than 2-6 had been seen in this portion of the St Lawrence Estuary per day since early July.
We glided upriver on a mirror towards Les Escoumins. Billowing spouts of 3 or 4 blues stood out against the dark forested North Shore. We first approached a pair recognized as female B197 known since 1988 and male B185 known since 1984. The female swam in the lead, the male flanked to the side, as is commonly observed in female/male pairings of this species. Such pairings last from a few hours to at least five weeks. Females accept to be trailed by tending males as early as late July. And though mating usually takes place in late fall or winter, the longer a male can maintain such contact, the better he can display his fitness and make an impression that will last until the female is ready. By flanking the female to either side, the male may benefit energetically using less energy as it swims and forages. It is possible that females tolerate a tending male, because he may keep other less fit males away, reduce harassment and thus allow her to feed without expending energy used in avoiding other males.
If another male approaches aggressively, the calm demeanor of a pair changes in an instant. Slow, almost lazy movement at the surface between 10-12 minute dives is suddenly replaced by rapid change in direction, very short dives, and quickened pace. Here the intruder was male B335-known since 1996 and as was the case for the pair a regular visitor to the St. Lawrence Estuary.
The scene we viewed changed from aquatic pastoral to explosive bursts of water in an instant.
B335 had accelerated and closed with the pair during the last dive from a distance of at least 800m. Having disrupted the moment, the intruding male caused female B197 to speed up suddenly, forcing both suitors to scramble to keep up, as B335 tried to displace B185. During these first furious moments of activity we observed portions of heads, body rolls, and tails flicked in a violent boil of water. The conflict quickly escalated into a twisting, turning spray-filled high-speed drag race of 70-80-ton bodies during which tail, flipper and body slams were delivered forcefully.
As the pace quickened and we saw the submarine-like shapes of all three whales hurtle, concatenated, pulling from the surface in an envelope of water, their spouts initially kept to subsurface bubbling by the surface tension, finally bursting free in a mighty explosion of spray forced up by the irrepressible rush of massive bodies. It was stunning to witness these powerful animals held-even if briefly by the elastic grip of the surface, stretching the liquid envelope as they furiously tore through. The water seemingly trying keep a firm hold and not allow them into the welcoming air.
In an adrenaline filled moment the three blues erupted high through the surface, positioned to land on us, it seemed. Their forms projected half way out, towering above and fortunately just to the sides and behind us, before porpoising forward in a splendid projection of spray. For a moment we thought we would be but a nuisance piece of flotsam dispatched by their fervent gamboling race, but they managed to avoid us and despite an impressive landing splash we somehow escaped barely sprayed.
A bit stunned, we watched as the two males raced by, up and out porpoising side by side banging and slashing into each other as they went. The female B197 content to course ahead letting the males settle who would remain to tend her, revealing, for the moment who was the most fit of partners. The spectacle was powerful and grandiose.
After 24 minutes B335 the interloping male pulled reluctantly away, perhaps collecting his strength for another bout on another day. The contact had been swift and thunderously violent in a fluid display of massive muscular sprints, head rushes, body slams, tail swats and numerous body-part glances.
We were reminded of horses or antelopes coursing side-by-side trying to displace or unbalance each other to establish dominance. Land animals have to contend with falls to the ground, landing on all matter of strata or even from cliffs, while whales fall back into cushioning water from brief forays into the air. It is a fast-paced shoving match between super heavy weights, which must leave the combatants bruised and tired. And in this instance the males must have been evenly matched for the joust to last as long as it did. After 8 minutes B335 surfaced several hundred meters away from the pair, abandoning the heated chase to return to feeding and stretching away his wounds in the cold waters of the St Lawrence.

Jet Airways suspends cabin crew for Sonu Nigam's in-flight singing

Mumbai, Feb 5 (IANS) Airline major Jet Airways said on Friday that it has suspended the five-member cabin crew of its January 4 Jodhpur-Mumbai flight for allowing celebrated singer Sonu Nigam to use the in-flight announcement system to entertain his fellow passengers.
"All cabin crew on the flight have been taken off from flight duty for enquiry and corrective training to reinforce strict adherence to operating procedures," said a Jet Airways spokesperson.
According to aviation safety experts, the unauthorised use of any aircraft system by passengers is a recipe for disaster.
"This is a vital information system, which is used by the crew to alert and inform passengers about major safety related procedures, weather and issuing of turbulence warnings," Kanu Gohain, safety expert and ex-director general of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) told IANS.
"If an emergency would have occurred at that time, then the crew would have lost valuable time in informing passengers. This (concert) also diverts the attention of the crew from other duties," elaborated Gohain, who was the DGCA Chief from April 2006 till 2008.
Sources in the aviation watchdog said an enquiry has been initiated into the event.
"There has been a lapse in discharging of crew duty. If found guilty then there (cabin crew's) licenses can be repealed and they would not be eligible to work with any airlines," Gohain added.
Cabin crew have to take a DGCA examination which is partly based on safety and emergency procedures (SEPs) and in-flight operation guidelines.
Online videos uploaded by some passengers show Sonu, dressed casually in a t-shirt and jeans, leaning against a bulkhead as he sings two of his popular songs from the films "Veer Zaara" and "Refugee".
Sonu has termed as "real intolerance" the Jet Airways' decision.
"I have witnessed an elaborate fashion show in an aircraft. I have heard of small concerts happening in an aircraft. I have seen pilots and crew members cracking humorous jokes to loosen up passengers in other countries, which is so cool," Sonu told IANS via a text message.
"To suspend crew members for asking me to sing on the address system, when the seat belt signs were off, and no announcements were to be made, is nothing less than punishing someone for spreading happiness.
"Pity there's no one to question such harshness except the media perhaps. Indians, need to loosen up. This act of lack of common Sense, according to me, is real intolerance."

For those interested in transpersonal human caring, or in relating to self and others with compassion, the Caring Science, Mindful Practice course will begin on January 9, 2019. This is a free, online course and those who fully participate in the course activities will be emailed a Certificate of Completion. You can register for the course here.
This review is based on my memory of the January 2018 iteration of the course. I wrote the review in appreciation of the course and of caring science.
The course was developed to help people integrate Jean Watson's Caritas into daily life. Jean Watson is a nurse educator and founder of the Watson's Caring Science Institute. The Caritas are principles for relating to self and others with compassion.
The course provides one or two short video tutorials each week. These tutorials address the Caritas and other elements of human caring. There is a weekly opportunity to reflect on the tutorials in writing or by creating an image that illustrates your response. Narrative reflections often took the form of a little story told – something that happened – with a comment on how a particular Caritas was in play, or how that Caritas would have made a difference to the outcome. If you wish to receive the certificate, you are also invited to provide affirmative responses to the reflections of other students. I found this took me about two to three pleasant hours per week.
Although the course was originally developed for nurses, I was welcomed as an academic librarian. I believe anyone who cares for others in any capacity and is willing to share their experiences will be welcomed into the course.
There are many positives to talk about, here are a few that have stuck in my mind.
The course is moderated by experienced volunteer tutors. Tutors play an active part in discussions and answer any questions.
The course practised what it taught: The tutors and participants created an inclusive, caring environment. The occasional raw story (nurses deal with a lot) was met with compassion and consideration.
The course provided a welcome opportunity to slow down and consider the Caritas and other teachings in the context of my life as an teacher, librarian, mum, sister, and partner.
It is a free course that provided genuine interaction and opportunities to communicate with other students and a Certificate of Completion. You do not need to pay for the Certificate (many online course charge extra for this).
The course is run annually: if you missed this year's registration you can pop a note in your diary for next year.
There is only one negative I can think of. There was little opportunity for students to meet outside the course and continue their practice, online or face-to-face. I believe nurse participants are able to join another program for a reduced fee, and this may provide that continuity of practice.
Should you do the course?
If you are interested in compassion or nonviolence and would like an opportunity to explore these concepts with others – yes I would recommend it.
