PagerDuty Deploys $1M To Help Close The COVID-19 Global Vaccine Equity Gap
by Olivia Khalili
$1,000,000 in funding and product credits, and technical volunteer support deployed to eight organizations to equitably deliver COVID-19 vaccines, with a focus on increasing access and combating vaccine hesitancy in underserved communities.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the impact on underserved populations and the hardest-to-reach communities around the world compounds every day. With 84% of COVID-19 vaccinations being administered in high and upper-middle income countries, the majority of the world still does not have access to a vaccine. Vaccine availability, access, and trust has become critical to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity and relevant information to be vaccinated—including, and especially, those who have historically been economically or socially marginalized.
Vaccine distribution is incredibly complex, from temperature-controlled supply chain management and geographic allocations to appointment scheduling and data collection. PagerDuty's digital operations management platform is built to handle real-time challenges like these. From orchestration across teams, supply and inventory management, and reliability across systems, to preventing and remediating extreme spikes in usage, PagerDuty is an essential tool to help create successful vaccine distribution and access.
Recognizing our platform's immense potential to support the crucial and complex needs around vaccine distribution, we launched a $1 million USD open call for funding to ensure that COVID-19 vaccinations reach the most marginalized communities around the globe.

The goal of this funding round is to deliver more COVID-19 vaccines faster in the United States and globally—with a focus on underserved communities—and to help prepare communities and equip health systems to deploy and administer vaccines as they become globally available.
With a focus on equitable allocation and distribution, we focused our funding on two pathways to a solution:
Vaccine Access and Distribution: Through this funding pathway, we are investing in tech-centric nonprofit partners who leverage PagerDuty. These are organizations who work to expediently and inclusively increase COVID-19 vaccine willingness and access for individuals and communities globally. Partners in this pathway will receive unrestricted funding, product credits, and specialized technical volunteer support from PagerDuty employees.
Vaccine Equity: Through this funding pathway we've invested in nonprofit partners who are led by local leaders. These groups are leveraging community-based, peer-to-peer approaches to address vaccine hesitancy in their regions, and ensure equitable, safe access to vaccines in order to build trust, inclusion, and participation among marginalized communities in the United States and Canada. Partners in this pathway will receive unrestricted funding.
We are proud to announce the following recipients of our Equitable COVID-19 Vaccine Access and Distribution funding round.
Vaccine Access and Distribution Partners
CareMessage is a current PagerDuty customer using its patient engagement platform—the largest for underserved populations in the United States—to meet people where they are and help fulfill the critical healthcare needs of low-income, underserved communities. During the pandemic, CareMessage has helped address barriers throughout the vaccination process and build vaccine confidence through text message alerts. PagerDuty's funding and product will enable the organization to expand its reach to one million underserved patients by making CareMessage's tech-driven intervention available to additional community clinics.
"CareMessage's infrastructure has enabled more than 10 million critical messages (and counting) around vaccine distribution and education via 250 healthcare provider partner organizations serving the most vulnerable Americans. Our ability to sustain this growing impact is directly tied to our use of PagerDuty's solutions to monitor our infrastructure in real-time, providing the visibility and automation needed to proactively respond to issues and ensure patients receive the critical vaccine-related information they need."
— Vineet Singal, Co-Founder and CEO
Turn.io is a social enterprise and current PagerDuty customer driving equitable access to healthcare. It does this by co-creating digital communication tools for nonprofit organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), and resource-constrained health ministries in Africa, South-East Asia, and Latin America. Reaching over 20 million people globally, Turn.io will leverage PagerDuty to expand and launch tools that utilize familiar digital channels, including Whatsapp, to provide vulnerable, disempowered and minority communities with easy and secure access to vital COVID-19 information and vaccine appointments schedulers.
WeRobotics seeks to enable locally-led applications of drone technology to tackle last-mile COVID-19 testing, vaccine delivery, and essential medical supply challenges in hard-to-reach communities. They have previously enabled medical drone deliveries in Peru, Dominican Republic, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Ghana and Madagascar, amongst other countries. With PagerDuty's support, the organization will work with public health partners and marginalized communities in the Tawi Tawi province of the Philippines to deliver vaccines and critical supplies more rapidly to those who need them the most.
Vaccine Equity Partners
Code Tenderloin, a long time PagerDuty partner, has become the primary COVID-19 support organization in the San Francisco Area. It serves those hardest hit by the pandemic, including the underserved, homeless, LGBTQ+, and ethnic communities. With PagerDuty's support, Code Tenderloin will partner with UCSF and GLIDE to implement a new COVID-19 Vaccination Program. The program will increase access to vaccines, leverage Code Tenderlon's Neighborhood Ambassador Program to engage in on-the-ground outreach, and expand its Calming Corners program (of which PagerDuty was a founding partner in Spring 2020) to distribute hygiene kits and public health preventative education.
Code The Dream is a tech equity nonprofit working to ensure the nearly three million agriculture and migrant farmworkers across the United States receive culturally-relevant COVID-19 information in their preferred language and have access to the vaccine. With PagerDuty's support, they will expand the reach of the two mobile apps its team has co-created with local partners. They are Conectate Carolina—the only app of its kind in North Carolina—and Vamos—an app currently used in five states—to help scale communication and outreach efforts to thousands of migrant workers. These workers may not be able to access the vaccine or up-to-date information due to isolation, language barriers, and lack of connection to resources in the community.
Doctors Without Borders will channel PagerDuty's support to bolster its on-the-ground COVID-19 vaccination rollout program in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory which continues to experience major disparities in access to vaccines and medical services. Working with Puerto Rico Salud (a local organization founded by Doctors Without Borders aid workers), Doctors Without Borders will directly deliver lifesaving vaccines and combat vaccine hesitancy in hard-to-reach areas. The team will also reach vulnerable populations with high-risk factors—such as individuals who are experiencing homlessness, living in long-term care facilities, and/or living with disabilities.
Mobile Pathways is a pioneer for democratizing justice via technology. It has formed a coalition of 26 immigration-focused grassroots organizations that work across rural and metro regions in California, Texas, New York, South Dakota, New Jersey, United States-Mexico border areas. Its teams work to educate under-documented and detained immigrants and refugees about their vaccine rights, and to combat vaccine misinformation via data-driven outreach efforts. PagerDuty's funding will support local partner campaigns to help overcome vaccine reluctance within these communities and help families navigate the vaccination process through mobile technology.
"PagerDuty's support will enable Mobile Pathways to expand its coalition of immigration-based nonprofits that leverage technology to support direct outreach via text message and video to marginalized communities in the United States and Mexico. Our community-based approach addresses vaccine hesitancy by providing trusted information and resources to ensure equitable, safe access to the Covid-19 vaccine."
— Bart Skorupa, Co-Founder & Development Director
Vision y Compromiso is a community health organization serving Latino residents in Central Valley, California, including low-wage farmworkers, frontline essential workers, and immigrants and refugees of all ages and residency status. With support from PagerDuty, Vision y Compromiso's trained teams of Promotores—community leaders—will carry out culturally and linguistically relevant outreach and education to reach 10,000 residents. These programs will ensure equitable vaccine access in Central Valley counties that have been disproportionately impacted by high rates of COVID-19 infections, deaths, economic turmoil, and mental health and education crises.
PagerDuty.org is proud to support and partner with these organizations working to increase vaccine availability, access, and trust. Our efforts will ensure everyone has the opportunity and relevant information to be vaccinated—including and especially those who have historically been economically or socially marginalized. Together, we will deliver more COVID-19 vaccines faster in the United States and globally—with a focus on underserved communities—and to help prepare communities and equip health systems to deploy and administer vaccines as they become globally available.
Go Give One Campaign To Close the Global Vaccine Equity Gap
In addition to the $1 million USD commitment to our partners, PagerDuty co-launched the Go Give One Coalition campaign in June alongside Salesforce, Workday, Russell Reynolds, and Pledge 1%. The campaign aims to take a global, proactive approach to drive funding upstream, in order to mobilize a global approach to equitably procure and distribute vaccines to the hardest-to-reach communities.
Created by the World Health Organization (WHO) Foundation, the funding raised will go to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC). COVAX AMC is an innovative financial mechanism to ensure that the poorest countries receive COVID-19 vaccines, regardless of their ability to pay.
Together with our coalition partners, we call on our employees, customers, and industry peers to come together to ensure everyone, everywhere can receive the vaccine and help reach our collective goal of delivering two billion doses by early 2022. Just $5 provides a life-saving vaccine for someone who needs it. Our collective energy can help vaccinate billions of people around the world, protecting everyone's loved ones and safeguarding our communities.
PagerDuty.org is committed to protecting and advancing equal opportunity for all persons to enjoy maximal health and wellbeing by ensuring everyone has the opportunity to be vaccinated. We are proud to support and partner with these organizations to deliver more COVID-19 vaccines faster.

Q: Android Canvas vs. GLSurfaceView for Drag/Drop operations I am building aprogram that needs to do drag/drop operations of images.  Now on a Canvas it is quite easy, and I might chose this.  However, I am also interested in using GLSurface View??  Now what I am seeing in examples is either a drag/drop tutorial on Canvas or drawing on GLSurface view.  I am wondering if handling touch events is more complicated with GLSurface view?  Is it possible to handle touch events with GLSurfaceView.  Also why would one chose GLSurface view for rendering images vs. a Canvas?  How does one chose between Canvas vs. GLSurfaceView?

A: It's really just a choice between two APIs.
Canvas:

*

*knows about common Android framework classes like Bitmap

*many convenient functions

*can draw into bitmaps for saving to the SDCard

GLSurfaceView:

*

*good for using the tried-and-true OpenGL API

*designed for redrawing rapidly at a certain framerate

*3D drawing

These are just a few aspects of the debate. I don't think either of them has the upper hand on event processing. I'd say that it makes more sense to use Canvas if you are working primarily with the Android SDK, whereas GLSurfaceView is an especially good option for apps using the OpenGL APIs via the NDK.

A ray of hope for refugees in northern Greece
A new refugee center in northern Greece funded through a private/public partnership aims to improve living conditions for refugees. Marianna Karakoulaki and Dimitris Tosidis report from Thessaloniki.
When Mahmood looks out of the window he can see Thessaloniki's seafront clearly, sometimes, when the sky is clear, even Mount Olympus is visible. "Here we finally have a room; we lived in a tent in the camp of Lagadikia," he tells DW while making a square shape with his hands to show the small size of his tent in the relocation center where he used to live.
Mahmood is one of the 140 people living in Elpida, a new refugee center situated near the industrial sector of Thessaloniki. He resides in a private room with his friends, Mohammed, Ahmed, and Ahmed's twin brother who sleeps without noticing the conversations around him.
Elpida - the Greek word for hope - is a new facility in northern Greece, a public and private partnership that has set itself the goal of becoming an example of how to deal with the refugee crisis efficiently and humanely. The creation of this alternative refugee center was the vision of Amed Khan, an investor, philanthropist and the founder of Elpida who partnered with the Canadian-based Radcliffe Foundation and the Greek General Secretariat of Migration Policy, which is part of the Μinistry of Interior and Administrative Construction.
Founder Amed Khan (right) and his project manager Mike Zuckerman
"My team and I visited the islands, and the camps in the mainland, and noticed that the conditions for war refugees were horrible. Despite the funds channelled toward this cause, there was no evidence of humanitarian spaces, so we decided to do this to demonstrate that it can be done," Khan told DW.
Elpida was a textile factory that went bankrupt a few years ago. The General Secretariat of Migration rented the 6,000 square-meter large building which was renovated from scratch with the help of hundreds of volunteers who came to Thessaloniki to assist with the refugee crisis. The idea behind Elpida was to provide refugees with what they need and be able to reclaim in a way part of what they lost; a space based on self-organization where people are able to continue their daily life and activities.
"We wanted to try something different, maybe the opposite of what is being done. Instead of creating dependency, create independence; instead of being top-down, let's see what happens when you make it bottom-up," Mike Zuckerman, an urban space creator and the project manager of Elpida, told DW.
The idea behind Elpida is that refugees self-organize their stay and make the center their home
"These are the victims of a war that they did not cause, and they haven't got the international protection they are entitled to. So we decided to collaborate with the Greek government and the General Secretariat of Migration who were very open to the idea to try and create optimal living conditions for people," continues Khan.
Nevertheless, the feelings of Elpida's new residents are mixed. Some had reservations on their first day of arrival.
"We may have private rooms, but I don't see any difference than the camp in Giannitsa. It is very hot here, and my wife is not feeling well because of that and because she is sick. But I will have a better opinion in 72 hours" said Sadam with a very critical look on his face. "Maybe we should all apply for relocation in Iraq because of the heat," he continued half-jokingly.
Most of Elpida's new residents are ecstatic, however, especially the younger ones. "It's better than a hotel, it truly gives us hope," said Radwan while on his way to his English class.
Most of the refugees living in Elpida are designated as vulnerable cases: large families and those that cannot live in the conditions at the other refugee camps, some of which are considered dangerous and with questionable health conditions. The camp in Lagadikia for example, from where most of Elpida's current residents come, has been criticized by refugees and volunteers because of the lack of medical support.
A recent report by the Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention calling for the closure of several refugee camps appears to back up most people's concerns about the camps.
Although Elpida is new and some parts of it are still under construction, it seems to be more than ready for its residents. An eco-friendly system is in place in order to introduce refugees to ecological ways of living, playing areas for children have been set up, there's a garden for those who wish to take part in agricultural activities, and a women's safe area where they can take part in various activities - from playing chess to aerobics and yoga.
Refugees are encouraged to add a bit of flair and style to their lodgings to make themselves feel at home
Nasser and his family invite DW and the staff who work in the center to their new room for a cup of Syrian coffee while Mahmood and his friends eagerly show them the newly painted walls of their room; It's easy to tell that most refugees finally feel at ease - at least to a certain extent. The refugee crisis in Greece may not be over, but Elpida, despite its teething problems, offers hope to its residents.
Shattered dreams for refugees stuck in Greece
Refugees who were forced out of Idomeni or left before the camp was cleared, are finding that conditions are barely better in other camps that have been set up, as Marianna Karakoulaki and Dimitris Tosidis discovered. (05.06.2016)

The refugee crisis has finally made the subject of refugees' fates a topic of discussion around the world. But little has improved for most of them, says Oliver Sallet. (19.06.2016)

Bob Weinstein Accused of Sexual Harassment by Former 'The Mist' Showrunner Amanda Segel
The former showrunner and executive producer for the Spike TV show claims that the younger Weinstein brother repeatedly harassed her while they worked together.

Amanda Segel, a former showrunner and executive producer for The Weinstein Company's television drama "The Mist," has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against Bob Weinstein. Segel tells Variety that while she was working on the Spike TV series, Weinstein "repeatedly made romantic overtures to her and asked her to join him for private dinners."
Moreover, Segel tells the outlet that the harassment began in the summer of 2016 and "continued on and off for about three months until Segel's lawyer, David Fox of Myman Greenspan, informed TWC executives — including COO David Glasser — that she would leave the show if Bob Weinstein did not stop contacting her on personal matters."
A representative for Weinstein "denied that he engaged in any inappropriate behavior" in a statement to Variety, adding that "Bob Weinstein had dinner with Ms. Segel in LA in June 2016. He denies any claims that he behaved inappropriately at or after the dinner. It is most unfortunate that any such claim has been made." A rep for TWC additionally denied the claim that Glasser, still the embattled company's COO, was ever contacted by Segel's lawyer.
These new allegations against the younger Weinstein brother come as dozens of women have recently come forward with allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Bob's older brother and former TWC founder Harvey Weinstein. As Variety notes, "Bob Weinstein has publicly decried his brother's actions and claimed that he was unaware of the severity of the allegations, which include at least two allegations of rape."
Segel told the outlet that she "decided to go public with her Bob Weinstein experience in an effort to help raise awareness of the extra burden that women often face and to encourage the industry to put a stop to behavior that has too often been seen as part and parcel of the high-pressure business of producing a TV show."
Segel's story alleges that the harassment began in the summer of 2016, when Weinstein invited her to dinner. As she explained, she agreed to the meeting because she was eager "to establish a professional relationship with the head of the company behind 'The Mist.'" Segel claims the the dinner was marked by Weinstein asking her "highly intimate questions" and making "romantic overtures to her." Later, when she drove him back to the Beverly Hills Hotel where he was staying, Weinstein asked her to come to his room, though Segel declined.
In the following weeks, Segel says Weinstein began barraging her with emails that were not work-related, claiming that "he wanted them to be friends." Segel adds that, despite telling Weinstein she did not want a romantic relationship, he continued to ask her out, "joking at times that he was her boss and could fire her if she didn't agree."
After still more inappropriate behavior — including at least one screaming outburst on a conference call — Segel said she "had her lawyer contact TWC executives with the ultimatum that she would leave the show if Weinstein did not stay away from her. After much back and forth between Segel, her lawyer and TWC executives, an agreement was reached that Segel would continue her work on the show but arrangements were made that she was never to be in the same room as Weinstein or on telephone calls with him, an agreement that was honored by Weinstein."

Upon arrival Alila Villas Uluwatu conjures up a complete sense of beautiful serenity, its understated chic and striking modern design makes for a fantastically unique and memorable experience. This luxury establishment can be found in the middle of nowhere at the very Southern tip of the island, so after making our way through the deep floods, windy roads and hectic traffic we were ready to re-discover the joy of pure relaxation.
After checking in we couldn`t help but notice the absolutely stunning picturesque view beyond the infinity pool of the gorgeous azure blue Indian Ocean. In the background there was a backdrop of cool soothing music performed by a beatboxing artist, which we didn`t expect but added to the unique ambience of the resort. Whilst our villa was being prepared we enjoyed a refreshing watermelon cocktail and spicy nibbles in the spectacular cliff top bar, which is poised on the elevated plateau – our first impression was utterly fantastic and one that we can guarantee you will never forget.
Our one bedroom private pool villa was situated a distance away from the hotel lobby so we were picked up by a golf buggy and delivered to our front door by our own butler. Inside had a contemporary feel with modern Balinese touches, and we loved the sense of openness allowing the gentle sea breeze to freely flow in and out. It included all the mod cons including a 32 inch Samsung LCD TV, DVD player, telephone and a complimentary WIFI connection, safety deposit box, Espresso coffee machine and luxury teas by TWG tea with tea making facilities and private mini-bar.
Our deluxe sized bathroom was equipped with an indoor and outdoor rain shower & jet shower, bathtub and luxurious Ploh linens; thick towels, yukata-style bathrobes, 300 thread-count bed linens and duvet. And, we even enjoyed further lovely touches like the exclusive Alila-designed leather luggage tags, which had been attached to our travel bags and quality `His and Her` Alila Living bathroom toiletries. The outside area was equally as stunning. We had our very own private pool, intimate seating and lounging area and a fabulous cabana that looked out toward the Indian Ocean made comfortable with varying size cushions.
We decided to relax in our pool villa for the entirety of the afternoon until we were ready to have our evening meal. We opted to dine at The Warung restaurant, renowned for presenting authentic wholesome Indonesian and Balinese cuisine. It provides a sophisticated space with an open kitchen and indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for socialising in larger groups as well as offering an intimate dining ambience for couples.
Overall, we loved the romantic atmosphere, which essentially enables diners to have a casual, laidback experience with the dramatic backdrop of the cliff and Indian Ocean. We chose to indulge in the restaurant`s signature dishes, which were presented on a platter, reflecting a `tasting` menu but with all the dishes presented at once. We lapped up the array of dishes and we found this way of dining perfect for tasting the very best of the Balinese flavours. Finally, again, the desserts were presented on one platter but after the amount of food consumed within the starter and main courses we fell short and are sad to report we failed to finish the sweet tasting delights.
After a satisfying night`s sleep we ordered breakfast in our villa and ordered around four of the tasting sensations ranging from an English breakfast, healthy option and an amazing chocolate alternative! Each tasting sensation combined little hot and cold treats served on small plates and dishes. What a culinary pleasure and the perfect end to an enchanting stay. We felt pampered all the way and would like to sum our experience up in three words – luxurious, understated and incredibly chic!
Alila Villas Uluwatu is a resort you simply can`t afford to skip if you`re planning a trip to Bali.

After getting around the settings API i found out, that it's meant for plugins, but useable for themes too. The only thing, that doesn't work is register_acitvation_hook, because of the use of the plugin_basename()-function. You can find both functions in /wp-includes/plugin.php line 490 and line 547 to take a look.
Benefits for themes would be a) a much clearer structure possible in admin-option-page files and b) you could opt in default-options or check for different stuff if it's there.
No patch & hasnt been decided as a 3.1 feature, Moving to Future Release pending.
how many plugins would break if the basename would be missing?

Family of SIX reveal they sleep together every night in one bed – but parents admits they still have alone time and sex
Tiffany Wallis
A MUM has revealed how she co-sleeps with her four children and husband in a huge 10ft bed.
Jordan-Leigh Beal, 26, from Sanford in Florida said her husband Corey, also 26, made their dream bed a reality using two queen mattresses and connecting them with a bed connector.

The model and YouTube star, who shares her family life with thousands of followers on their channel HapBealyEverAfter, said her children cannot sleep unless they are all together.
However it hasn't affected the couple's sex life - and they are still more in love than ever, experimenting with different places around the house to be intimate.
The huge bed is big enough to hold the entire family of sixCredit: Jordan-Leigh Bea
The couple, who are high school sweethearts and have known each other since they were 12-years-old, are parents to Isabella, 11, Anastasia, six, Ed Charles, three, Esmeralda, one, and are expecting baby number five in just six weeks.
The family all co-sleep together in the big custom made bed and said they love being able to have family cuddles and movie nights in the bedroom.
After meeting aged just 12, the couple are as loved-up as everCredit: Jordan-Leigh Bea
Jordan admits she finds it easier to breastfeed while bed sharing and she revealed nobody wakes up in the middle of the night and the four kids sleep from 8pm - 8am every day.
Sharing their incredible dream bed to Facebook, Jordan wrote: "Anyone who knows us personally knows we are slightly 'crunchy' and all of our babies still sleep with us.
"Even though they have their own rooms and beds, they've (safely) co-slept and bed shared with us since they were born (so much easier to breastfeed too).
"Today my husband made me my dream, 10-foot long bed."
Jordan says her sex life with hubby has not been affected as they are still able to have sex in the shower or on the sofa
She gushed: "Thank you for continuously being the best husband ever!"
The mother added that everyone gets better sleep and there is no nighttime separation anxiety, better breastmilk supply, fewer bedtime hassles and much less stress during bedtime routines.
The kids love the chance to spend more time snuggling and bonding as a family, according to Jordan
Sleeping with their four children hasn't affected the couple's sex life - and she said they use other places around the house to be intimate including the shower, bath, couch and counters.
She said: "We make sure we have alone time together every single night, whether we have a babysitter and go out or enjoy date nights at home.
"Our sex life hasn't changed a bit since we were teenagers. We've never only had sex in a bed, there are plenty more places we are able to be intimate.
"If we need a bed, we do have a spare guest room, but aside from that there's the shower, bath, couch and counters.
"I think our love and closeness to our children definitely helps our relationship, we've never been too close to our families so our own family that we've created is so important to us."
Our sex life hasn't changed a bit since we were teenagers
Jordan-Leigh Beal
The couple's incredible love story started at just 12-years-old in middle school and Corey told Jordan he knew he was going to marry her one day.
They moved in together at 18, and eloped in their friend's garden aged 21.
They had two children by the age of 19 - but have struggled with conceiving, recurrent miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy.
However they finally have the big family they have always wanted and share their life with a huge social media.
Jordan says she's a big fan of attachment parentingCredit: Jordan-Leigh Bea
Jordan described how her husband made the dream bed, saying: "For a bed like this you need a bed connector, a custom bed frame, and whatever size mattresses you want to put together.
"He took two queen mattresses and connected them in the middle with a bed connector we bought online, then he purchased two identical standard metal queen bed frames and zip tied them together at all points so they were very secure and made one big bed frame!
The enormous custom-built bed is measures 10ft wide and is large enough for the whole family
"We tried with every single baby to get them to sleep in a bassinet beside our bed.
"They all have their own rooms and their own beds but they just prefer to be close to us, and we wouldn't have it any other way."
The mother said when done correctly, co-sleeping can be safer and developmentally better than other sleeping options.
The couple still have as much sex as they did when they were teensCredit: Jordan-Leigh Bea
She said there are proven benefits and most importantly, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, sleeping in the same room as your baby reduces the risk of SIDS by 50%.
She said the family now fit in bed without being squished or having their feet hang off the edge - and they regularly enjoy family cuddles and movie nights.
They all have their own rooms and their own beds but they just prefer to be close to us, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
However Jordan said she realised the sleeping technique is not for everyone and accepted that varying parenting styles work for different people.
She added: "We believe bedsharing and co-sleeping are a great option for families who may struggle with sleep or who want to be close to their babies.
"We practice attachment parenting, but we know not everyone does. That is just what works for our family!
"We've gotten positive comments mostly from other co-sleeping parents."We definitely didn't expect it to get as much attention as it did but we are so happy to have touched so many people with it."The mother, who is due to welcome her fifth child in a number of weeks, said co-sleeping has been the best option for her family for years.
In other parenting news, we told you how a mum was left 'mortified' after her six-year-old caught her 'naked wrestling' with hubby.
And these women are racing to find a boyfriend to bunker up with in case of a second lockdown.
Plus, one mum claims she was 'slowly poisoned' by her DD implants.

Evaluation of the thermal performance of an innovative prefabricated natural plant fibre building system
Andrew D Shea, Katharine Wall, Pete Walker
Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering
Centre for Innovative Construction Materials (CICM)
Energy efficient new and retrofit building construction relies heavily on the use of thermal insulation. A focus on the environmental performance of current construction materials with regards to both embodied energy and energy in-use has resulted in a growing interest in the use of natural fibre insulation materials. The results of heat flow meter thermal conductivity tests on a range of straw samples of different densities are presented. The innovative use of straw in the development of a prefabricated straw-bale panel and the results of guarded hot-box testing are presented. In common with most building materials, there is a degree of uncertainty in the thermal conductivity due to the influences of temperature, moisture content and density; however, from evaluation of a range of the literature and experimental data, a value of 0.064W/mK is proposed as a representative design value for straw bales at the densities used in building construction. Computer simulation and experimental testing suggest that the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) for the complete prefabricated panel is approximately 0.178W/m2K. This article also briefly discusses the use of this innovative unit in a highly instrumented test building constructed at the University of Bath.

Q: Spark - Operation not allowed: alter table replace columns Looks like hive replace columns is not working with spark 2.2.1 and also with 2.3.1
alterSchemaSql : alter table myschema.mytable replace columns (a int,b int,d int)
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.parser.ParseException:
Operation not allowed: alter table replace columns(line 2, pos 6)

Looks like it's been fixed for ADD COLUMNS 2.2 version onwards. It also works for me but replace columns still fails.
Operation not allowed: alter table add columns(line 1, pos 0)
Following docs says it should be supported. Not sure why it's failing for me.
https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.2.0/sql-programming-guide.html#supported-hive-features
https://docs.databricks.com/spark/latest/spark-sql/language-manual/alter-table-or-view.html#replace-columns

A: Sadly, it seems ALTER TABLE table REPLACE is not implemented by Spark.
Take a look at SparkSqlParser.scala: SparkSqlParser.scala
There, you can see, what SQL statements work with Spark.


The doors haven't closed yet on McLean County's smallest city, as the local auditor reports that all city council seats have now been filled.
After longtime mayor of Ruso Bruce Lorenz died in July, the city was left with a vacant seat on the city council and the possibility of dissolution. Now County Auditor Les Korgel said that may not be the case.
Korgel said in an email last week that Ruso auditor Laurinda Roloson reported that volunteers had stepped up to fill vacancies on the city council, allowing Ruso to maintain its designation as an organized city.
According to North Dakota Century Code, a town must have at least three members on its city council in order to be considered an incorporated city. When Lorenz died in July, he left the council with only two members, consisting of a husband and wife that were the city's only permanent residents.
At least one individual, who has not been identified, reportedly volunteered to fill the vacant position and keep the state's smallest city on the map.
At press time Tuesday, Roloson had not responded to messages left for comment.

JNTUK Letter – Introduction of Bio-metric Attendance System Mandatory , Jntu Kakinada University Recently Ordered Colleges to Take bio Metric For Attendance for Avoiding Problems in Regularity Attendance. Again today Remembered with Another Request if Previously didnt applied colleges.
You are aware that as per the instructions from APSCHE, the implementation of Biometric attendance in the University and affiliated/Constituent colleges of the University is mandatory. The Principals of the Constituent and affiliated Colleges of JNTUK have already been informed to implement Biometric attendance in their colleges vide reference.
In this connection, the Principals of the Constituent/affiliated colleges are once again informed to take necessary steps to introduce the Biometric system, if not yet initiated.
A compliance report in the mater may be sent to the Director, Academic and Planning, JNTUK Kakinada in both softcopy (to dapjntuk@gmail.com) and hard copy.
If u made this rule . no one will join in JNTUK. All people move to other Universities (JNTUH, Au,OU) including me.
100% correct decission and no problem…. but please cancel the jumbling system..

A: Why not use a Set?Try storing your contacts in a an Object and that Object in a Set. Remember to override the equals method of that Object based on which you need to eliminate duplicates.

http://www.java2novice.com/java-collections-and-util/hashset/duplicate/

A: You're seeing duplicate contacts because you're querying over a list of phones, not contacts, if a contact has more then one phone, you'll get the same contact multiple times - one for each phone number.
You need to decide how you want to handle contacts with multiple phones, and also contacts without any phone (currently you're not displaying contacts that don't have any phone).
Assuming you want one line per contact, displaying only contacts that have phones, and displaying all phones for that contact on the same row, you'll need to revise your code a bit:

*

*The SelectUser object should accept a list of phones, not just one.

*the selectUsers field should be HashMap<Long, SelectUser> and not ArrayList<SelectUser>

*String id = ... should actually be Long id = ...
Then in your cursor iterator do this:
if (selectUsers.containsKey(id)) {
    SelectUser selectUser = selectUsers.get(id);
    selectUser.addPhone(phoneNumber); // new method you need to implement
} else {
    SelectUser selectUser = new SelectUser();
    selectUser.setThumb(bit_thumb);
    selectUser.setName(name);
    selectUser.setPhone(phoneNumber);
    selectUser.setEmail(id); // Email can't be retrieved from the phones table, see below
    selectUser.setCheckedBox(false);
    selectUsers.add(selectUser);
}

P.S.
You can't read CommonDataKinds.Email fields when querying the CommonDataKinds.Phone table, if you want to read both phones and emails on the same query, you need to query over the ContactsContract.Data table, and select for Data.MIMETYPE + ' = ' + Phone.CONTENT_TYPE + ' OR ' + Data.MIMETYPE + ' = ' + Email.CONTENT_TYPE.
This will give you a cursor over lines that are either phone or email (you can use the Data.MIMETYPE to check which one is it.

KT Edit: Is this the beginning of another nightmare in Afghanistan?
Terror and resorting to violence for any cause are unjustifiable. It is barbaric and goes against the grain of a civilised society where people simply want to be left in peace.
Modern Afghanistan has suffered from decades of terror and militancy, where superpowers played their hand and lost. First it was the Soviets who arrived in the late seventies. They provoked an extremist ideology that spread far and wide. The ideology took on the occupiers and terror groups expanded their influence as the Red Army was beaten back. The USSR retreated from the country in the early eighties and the disparate groups who had ousted them mutated into the Taleban and Al Qaeda in the country and threatened local puppet governments that came and went in quick succession. The US and Nato arrived in early 2000 to fight the war against terror. Eighteen years later, they have realised that they cannot win a war in Afghanistan and have to make peace with the Taleban, once a terror outfit that is now making its mark as a political force. But the bloodshed and bombings continue as innocent Afghans are caught in the crossfire. The Taleban may be coming into the political mainstream as the US plans to cut and run from the strife-torn country having nothing to show for after 18 years of occupation.
On Saturday evening, 63 people were killed at a wedding reception in Kabul. Now that the Taleban have tempered down and attempts to become a political entity through the process of dialogue with the US and Pakistan, there are concerns that sectarian strife is looming with help from other, more deadly groups. The Taleban has condemned the blast but fingers are pointing to Daesh's role. From the mujahideen to Taleban to Al Qaeda and to Daesh, the mutation of extremist outfits continues; someone wants to keep the fire burning. War is a process, arms are sold for billions and some powers benefit. Who, is the question. Terror as an extension of state policy is not a new school of thought but is an instrument of war from ancient times. Insurgency, militancy and sectarianism come in handy to keep the system churning. Daesh may have been displaced from Syria and Iraq but are looking for an opportunity to start a new chapter and a new location. They may have found it in Afghanistan where the US is in a hurry to get out. The trouble is the way the terror culture has been fostered and handled all these years. There were good terrorists and bad terrorists if it suited your interests. The big powers were sold on the idea and made a mess of the situation. The latest attack shows that all terrorists cannot be trusted - the Taleban, Al Qaeda or Daesh. Who knows, they may have come together for a larger cause in Afghanistan with the US signalling its intentions to leave the country.
This could be the beginning of another nightmare.

The proposed license plate features an image of a steelhead with "Washington Steelhead" emblazoned on it in an interesting script.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has proposed a special "steelhead" license plate to generate revenue. Under existing rules for adoption of specialized license plates, the proposing agency must demonstrate a public intent to purchase at least 3,500 plates. The plates would be priced at $54 to $72 (in addition) to regular license fees, and persons interested in being one of the 3,500 motorists who "intend to purchase" can declare their intent online. According to the WDFW, submitting an online declaration of intent is not an obligation to buy a plate.
"This is a great opportunity for people to show their appreciation for Washington's native steelhead and to support efforts to help conserve these iconic fish," said Kelly Cunningham, deputy assistant director of WDFW's Fish Program in a written statement.
The steelhead was designated the Washington state fish in 1969 by an act of the legislature.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will be stocking more than a dozen Washington lakes with large trout for its traditional "Black Friday Trout Opener." Most of the targeted lakes will be closed November 23 through November 26 to facilitate the stocking efforts, the Enumclaw Courier-Herald reports.
A full list of the "Black Friday" lakes is available on the WDFW web site.
This week, Garmin announced the debut of their Striker series, a new line of fishfinders with CHIRP traditional sonar and CHIRP DownVü and SideVü technology that come standard with a built-in high-sensitivity GPS receiver.
According to the company, the Striker series will be available in 3.5-inch, 5-inch or 7-inch color displays that feature a new rugged design and keyed interface that's built to withstand the harsh marine environment. All models are equipped with a built-in high-sensitivity GPS antenna and waypoint map, so marking and navigating to favorite fishing spots and other areas of interest like brush piles, stumps and docks, is quick and easy. When trolling, the high-sensitivity GPS provides an update once per second. Users can also share waypoint data across multiple Striker units, as well as all echoMAPTM series devices.
Garmin reports its Striker fishfinders will be available in December 2015, with suggested retail prices ranging from $119.99 to $499.99.
A fishing charter operating on British Columbia' Fraser River landed a rare, albino sturgeon last month, The Province reports. Chilliwack angler Chad Helmer took the eleven-foot fish following a two-and-a-half hour fight.
Helmers described the fish as an albino, with white skin and pale yellow markings, instead of a sturgeon's normal grey colouring. Helmer's family has caught thousands of fish on the Fraser River over the last four decades, he said, and never seen an "albino" sturgeon like this one.

B L AGRO has been a pre independence establishment that has carved its way out in the highly competitive and fast moving FMCG space. With a TVC for Nourish, they were planning to increase their audience through brand engagement and awareness
The task at hand was big, the responsibilities high. But like every other project we made sure we delivered a brilliant ad concept for brand Nourish – the FMCG front of BL AGRO Industries Ltd. The concept was launched with the first ever TVC campaign for the brand featuring Shilpa Shetty Kundra.
The TVC was launched across prominent TV channels and also shared on social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram of the client. As soon as the TVC was aired, The e-commerce website traffic boomed and order and enquiries were on the rise. During the first month itself we received a monthly traffic of more than 2 lac unique users.
Awareness campaigns were run across social media and within the first month itself we earned an engagement of 175.11% across social media platforms
Our client Nourish has always advocated that a nation should grow in health, and while most consumers today are much aware about good eating habits, and choosing products wisely, it does more often than not become a struggle to find the right ones. Which is why regular LIVE sessions with nutrition experts were held on Facebook for users to understand the idea of eating good nutritious food better.
Since this was the launch of the first ever TVC of the brand, media was used extensively to promote the new brand ambassador and the brand's ideology. Through Shilpa Shetty, the aim was to increase brand awareness and reach. For a brand that comes with the promise of nutrition, the ambassador was of similar stature and this was exactly what the media coverage communicated.

Q: In Rust, how can I restrict a generic T to allow modulus? As an exercism exercise, I'm currently trying to filter an iterator according to whether the value is even in order to produce a new iterator.
My function currently looks like:
pub fn evens<T>(iter: impl Iterator<Item = T>) -> impl Iterator<Item = T>
    where T: std::ops::Rem<Output = T>
{
    iter.filter(|x| x % 2 != 0)
}

Playground
But this won't compile because:
error[E0369]: cannot mod `&T` by `{integer}`
 --> src/lib.rs:4:23
  |
4 |     iter.filter(|x| x % 2 != 0)
  |                     - ^ - {integer}
  |                     |
  |                     &T
  |
help: consider further restricting this bound
  |
2 |     where T: std::ops::Rem<Output = T> + std::ops::Rem<Output = {integer}>
  |                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

However, I know I can't simply change this to
pub fn evens<T>(iter: impl Iterator<Item = T>) -> impl Iterator<Item = T>
    where T: std::ops::Rem<Output = T> + std::ops::Rem<Output = {integer}>
{
    iter.filter(|x| x % 2 != 0)
}

Playground
as this fails to compile with:
error: cannot constrain an associated constant to a value
 --> src/lib.rs:2:56
  |
2 |     where T: std::ops::Rem<Output = T> + std::ops::Rem<Output = {integer}>
  |                                                        ------^^^---------
  |                                                        |        |
  |                                                        |        ...cannot be constrained to this value
  |                                                        this associated constant...

I'm vaguely aware of some "Num" traits, but the exercism doesn't seem to accept answers which require importing dependencies through Cargo.toml, so I'm looking for a native/built-in solution.
Any ideas how I can make this work?
(P.S. I've now figured out that I misunderstood the exercise, where "even" describes the enumerated index, not the value... but never mind.  I'd still like to know whether/how this could be made to work.)

A: The easiest way without third party libraries is to convert the constant into T explicitly:
use core::convert::TryFrom;

pub fn evens<T>(iter: impl Iterator<Item = T>) -> impl Iterator<Item = T>
    where T: Eq + Copy + std::ops::Rem<Output=T> + TryFrom<i32>
{
    let zero = T::try_from(0).ok().unwrap();
    let two = T::try_from(2).ok().unwrap();
    iter.filter(move |x| *x % two != zero)
}

DAVID ALLAN'S ''Villanella'' was commissioned in 1984 by its star, Veronica Tennant. It is easy to see why. The solo, performed for the first time in New York by the National Ballet of Canada on Saturday night at the Metropolitan Opera House, displays her considerable authority as a performer.
Miss Tennant, a longtime leading ballerina in the company, fills the big, empty stage with her presence in a role that does not call for bravura dancing or charismatic acting. Miss Tennant has been cast by Mr. Allan as an Italian Renaissance street-singer whose audience has waned with the times. You'd have to read the program notes to know this, but ''Villanella'' does give Miss Tennant a chance to suggest shy hopefulness and rejection in a well-modulated flow.
Miss Tennant looks very pretty in Marjatta Heinonen's soft, ruffled chiffon dress. She dances persuasively. But the choreography is mostly a matter of fluting arms and pacing, running, skipping legs and folding and unfolding torso. It does justice to its score, a ''suite from ancient airs and dances'' created by a wide-eyed composer of the 20th century, Otterini Respighi. ''Villanella'' is, in the end, a rather shallow star turn. But it is work with a feel for craft and pacing, created by a new young choreographer. It does give us our only chance to see Miss Tennant perform during this New York season. And her performance was received with cheers.
Anthony Randazzo brought the requisite innocent sinuousness to Constantin Patsalas's ''Angali,'' replacing Rex Harrington as the male figure in this romantic duet set to music by Jacques Charpentier. Mr. Randazzo performed the brief solo with a lithe, tigerish attack, and there was an appealing fineness of detail to his dancing. But neither he nor the pert Amalia Schelhorn could do much with this bit of Graeco-moderne treacle.
