The challenge of selling the COVID-19 vaccine amid divisive politics: ANALYSIS
"There is a risk that COVID vaccines could become the new masks."
ByMaryAlice Parks
• 12 min read
Vaccine offers hope for coronavirus crisis
The Food and Drug Administration is set to meet on Thursday to discuss approval of the Pfizer vaccine as Canada approves use of the vaccine.
It has become a mantra of sorts for the Biden transition team: "Vaccines don't save lives, vaccinations do." The idea is a powerful acknowledgement of the daunting task in front of the nation and incoming administration next year.
Once approved and manufactured, getting these shots into people's arms will be a logistical undertaking so big it is hard to fathom. More, reassuring and persuading people to get in line for the new vaccine, after a transition in the White House and with rampant mistrust and misinformation in our politics, could be another challenge next year for President-elect Joe Biden and public health officials.
The vaccine has long seemed overly politicized. At the same time President Donald Trump was dismissing and downplaying the disease, he was laser focused on the vaccine. His statements about how his vaccine could be ready before Election Day left prominent Democrats skeptical and leery.

But now, the timing of the vaccine's anticipated approval and rollout, so close after the election, has arguably flipped the politics of it all. Millions of new vaccines may be ready for distribution next spring and summer. In Washington, some leaders are worried about whether Biden and his administration will be able to sell the science in Trump country.
"We have gone through a period where COVID-19 vaccines have been so politicized, it is not surprising that people are both confused and hesitant," Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told ABC News.

A mock vial of the Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19 is used during a staff vaccine training session in Madison, Wisc., Dec. 8, 2020.
"Red America may all of a sudden be more hesitant to take a vaccine under a Biden administration, particularly for a disease that Republican leaders have been dismissing for months. There is a risk that COVID vaccines could become the new masks," he added. "But I also think people are desperate to get back to normal and these vaccines are what will enable us to."
MORE: FDA scientists to report Pfizer vaccine safe and effective
Over the last few months the political divide over basic safety measures has reached new extremes. According to USA Today, at least 81 state and federal government officials have tested positive for COVID-19 since the beginning of September -- nearly three out of four are Republican.
"Taking their cues from President Donald Trump, Republicans at every level of government have flouted public health guidelines to reduce the risk of catching and spreading the coronavirus," the article reads.
MORE: CDC to encourage 'Vaccinated for COVID-19' buttons
Though Trump has thumbed his nose at other health precautions, he has for months championed future vaccines as the way to open the economy.
Levitt referred to the possible issue of "vaccine hesitancy" as a "temporary challenge." He said that once the FDA finishes its final approval and people see their neighbors receiving vaccinations, the worry felt in this moment would change.
He added that trusted messengers will be key.
"It is going to be important that people in the Black community, Latino community and conservative, rural parts of the country are out there communicating to people that the vaccines are safe. It can't just be the Biden administration," he said.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield has said too that community leaders will be vital. Last week, he asked business and government leaders to help encourage people to take the vaccines. The CDC is even prepping stencils for stickers and buttons to add visibility around those who have been vaccinated and the Department of Health and Human Services is working on a TV campaign.
President-elect Joe Biden attends the announcement of the members of his health team at the Queen Theater in Wilmington, Del., Dec. 8, 2020.
Some public health experts have even talked about whether Biden should change the name of Operation Warp Speed when he takes office. One-in-three Americans told Gallup that their main concern was how fast the vaccine was developed and the name of the government program alone -- not-so-subtly -- reminds people of it.
"We have been in this pandemic for less than a year, and development of COVID-19 vaccines has been on an accelerated timeline. It's natural for people to be suspicious of things they don't know about," Dr. Susan Bailey, president of the American Medical Association told ABC News.
Back in September, Pew Research Center found that Republicans were significantly less likely to say they would "definitely" or even "probably" get the vaccine. Black respondents too expressed serious concerns.
MORE: Minority communities' distrust of COVID-19 vaccine poses challenge
Washington Post opinion columnist Alyssa Rosenberg wrote earlier this month that Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris should consider receiving their vaccinations live on TV.
"In particular, Black Americans, wary of a medical system that has sometimes abused them and continues to provide them with lower-quality care, are highly skeptical," Rosenberg wrote. "Biden and Harris can use their inoculations to take the public inside the vaccine development and delivery process and, in doing so, build confidence in an unprecedented scientific accomplishment."
During an interview with CNN last week, Biden said he would be game for a live event.
"When Dr. Fauci says we have a vaccine, that is safe, that's the moment in which I will stand before the public," Biden said.
Live events and celebrity volunteers have been used in the past to help calm the nerves. In 1956, Elvis Presley famously received his polio vaccine live on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
So far, there has been a bipartisan commitment and reassurance from Washington.
Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton all said last week they would receive the vaccine publicly, if it would help prove its safety and encourage other Americans. The president's daughter Ivanka Trump Thursday retweeted a story about the three former presidents' commitment.
"My offer holds to do the same," she wrote.

While celebrity endorsements might be important to help spread the word and knock down fears, they could also be met with frustration and skepticism, especially if average Americans feel that some rich or famous Americans are able to jump their spot in line.
MORE: CDC advisers call for 1st COVID-19 vaccines to go to health care workers, long-term care facilities
According to new government guidelines states are supposed to distribute the first wave of vaccines to health workers and the elderly. Other essential workers and high-risk populations will likely be prioritized next.
Dr. Anthony Fauci argued that providing people with facts and data about the vaccine will also help in addressing individual concerns about the speed of the production or the vaccine's possible side effects.
"I believe it's a small core of inveterate anti-vaxxers, who no matter what you tell them, they're not going to want to get vaccinated. I wouldn't give up on them, but the people I would focus my attention on are those who feel that way because of a misunderstanding of the facts and the data," he said on CNN this week.
"So you say, 'What's the reason you don't want to get vaccinated? Is it you think things went too fast?' Well, the speed was related to the extraordinary advances technologically in vaccine platform technology -- where we're able to do things in weeks, two months, that used to take several years -- and that is not compromising safety. And that is not compromising scientific integrity. This is something that is unprecedented. And it's because of scientific advances," he added.
ABC News' Anne Flaherty contributed to this report.

"Comic-Con is interesting because there's so much going on at once, it's literally impossible to do everything. You need clones and some sort of hoverboard so you can surf over the crowd of packed-in nerds." — Chris Hardwick, American Comedian and Founder
This weekend more than 130,000 comic fans will take over the San Diego Convention Center for Comic-Con, the largest annual comic and pop culture festival in the world. Featuring panels from all of the major comic book players like Marvel and D.C., Comic-Con has expanded in recent years to include fandom of all kinds — highlighting blockbuster Hollywood projects and video games. This year's most anticipated panel will be Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige's presentation tomorrow evening, where rumor has it the notoriously secretive company will finally reveal its newest slate of film and television projects.

Plants grow densely in the garden of Kōshin-an, and in spring the wisteria blossoms swaying in the wind draw many visitors. Loaches and killifish swim swiftly in the pond, and the sound of insects living among the bush clover and Japanese pampas grass can be heard. Here we can enjoy seasonal flowers, such as plum, cherry, peony, iris, morning glory, chrysanthemum, and camellia. Chodō's haiku were inspired by his experience of the cycle of the seasons in this garden.

The Most Common Pickup Truck Accessories The car marketplace is flooded with a wide selection of pickup truck accessories. These accessories not only make your vehicle look trendy and more modish, but in addition they enhance its durability and versatility. A simple accessory like a tonneau cover not only safeguards your cargo against severe climatic conditions, but it increases the gas mileage by eliminating the tailgate effect. Thus, there isn't any risk in investing your hard earned money in pickup accessories. But, before you go out to buy these accessories, it is crucial to learn a few things about them. There are numerous kinds of accessories which are available, and they all are not the same. Some just make your truck look great like the chrome-plated door handles, mirror covers and tailgate lights. There are a few that enhance the utility and worth of your car or truck such as bed mats, bed tents, and camper shell. It's possible for you to choose just about any of them depending on your individual preference and needs. For your comfort, below you will find a list of accessories that can improve the usefulness as well as the appearance of your truck. The most versatile pickup truck accessory is the truck tonneau cover. Besides being economical and highly-customizable, a truck cover helps in keeping your cargo well-shielded from harsh climate conditions. There are different types of tonneau covers accessible such as the soft covers, fiberglass, and retractable caps covers.
A truck camper or cap is an excellent way to increase your truck's storage capacity. You can haul heavy items easily and go for camping without worrying much about the security and safety of your valuable possessions. In case you enjoy camping then your pickup truck would not be complete without a bed tent. The truck bed tent will provide you with a safe camping site that is well-shielded from wild animals, prowlers, pests, dirt, and insects. Bed mats protect your truck bed from scratches, dents, and rust. As soon as you place the bed mats in position, you can easily carry heavy duty cargo like metal tools, furniture, concrete and so on. These mats are very resilient as they provide goods which might be delicate with plenty of padding and cushioning.
A ladder stand is a great accessory for you, if you frequently transport large quantities of cargo. It may be used to carry canoes, lumber, kayaks and so on. Different options are available like the dual racks and side-mounted racks. It's possible for you to select anyone of them depending on your requirements. Chrome truck accessories are long lasting and require little maintenance. They add an element of style, panache, and elegance to your pickup truck. Mirror Covers, chrome-plated bed caps, exhaust tips, billet grills, and brake light covers are some choices that are good.

Q: Automatically export Google Spreadsheet to Excel I want a Google Apps Script that automatically exports a Google Spreadsheet that I have on Google Drive to .xls or .xlsx by using a trigger that is either
time-driven (say every 30 minutes) or event-driven (on every edit made on file). I was based on an old question here on Stack Overflow but since the function oAuthConfig is
discontinued, I think I would open a new thread based on OAuth1 library.
Here are all the steps I followed:

*

*While the file was open I went to Tools -> Script Editor... and then I followed these instructions to install the latest OAuth1 library (v.12 and the library
project key I used is Mb2Vpd5nfD3Pz-_a-39Q4VfxhMjh3Sh48). I have also tried with the Development mode enabled or disabled.

*Then I tried to change the above script based on all the changes of the Google API (see here, here, here, and here).

*I ran every function except googleOAuth_(...) and granted whatever permissions they asked for.

*Finally, I created a trigger from Resources -> Current project's triggers which calls the function myOnEdit on every edit to the spreadsheet and notifies me on e-mail if it fails.
Here is the script:
function myOnEdit() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var s = ss.getActiveSheet();
  var r = s.getActiveCell();
  if( r.getColumn() != 1 ) { //checks the column
    var row = r.getRow();
    var time = new Date();
    time = Utilities.formatDate(time, ss.getSpreadsheetTimeZone(), "MM/dd/yy, hh:mm:ss");
    var id = ss.getId();
    s.getRange('A' + row.toString()).setValue(time);
    var url = 'https://docs.google.com/feeds/';
    var doc = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url+'download/spreadsheets/Export?key='+id+'&exportFormat=xls',
                                googleOAuth_('docs',url)).getBlob()
    DriveApp.createFile(doc).setName('newfile.xls')
  }
}

function authorise(){
  // function to call to authorize googleOauth
  var id=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
  var url = 'https://docs.google.com/feeds/';
  var doc = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url+'download/spreadsheets/Export?key='+id+'&exportFormat=xls',
                            googleOAuth_('docs',url)).getBlob()
}

function googleOAuth_(name,scope) {
  var service = OAuth1.createService(name);
  service.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope="+scope);
  service.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
  service.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
  service.setConsumerKey('anonymous');
  service.setConsumerSecret('anonymous');
  return {oAuthServiceName:name, oAuthUseToken:"always"};
}

So, it seems that the code doesn't produce any errors but there are 2 problems:

*

*Even if the file newfile.xls is created, it is not what I want. Basically, when I open it on Excel I get the message "The file format and extension of "newfile.xls" don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway?", then it waits for a while and when the file opens it seems like the Google Login page in Excel format.

*Each time I make an edit on a row, the cell that corresponds to the first column of that row changes to the current timestamp like "07/03/16, 03:58:30" on the
original spreadsheet.

A: To generate an XLSX file on your Google Drive periodically, you can set up a timed trigger calling the test_downloadXLS() function from the gist referenced in How to convert a Google Docs-File to an Excel-File (XLSX).

A: Partial Short answer
XLS is not supported by Google Sheets/Google Drive.
Explanation
AFAIK .XLS is not supported by the current version of Google Sheets. Anyway I just tried a URL with the following structure directly on my browser's address bar:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/spreadsheet-key/export?exportFormat=xls

and got

School Closures and Delays Due To Weather
Emergency personnel use a manual resuscitator on a fire victim during a high rise fire on East 181 Street, Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022, in the Bronx borough of New York. (AP Photo/Lloyd Mitchell)
(AP) — Doctors are working to save the lives of several people gravely injured when smoke from a fire knocked them out or trapped them in their apartments in a New York City high-rise building. Nineteen people, including nine children, died in the blaze. Dozens of people were in the hospital Monday, and as many as 13 were in critical condition. Sunday's fire in the Bronx is already the city's deadliest in three decades. Investigators determined that a malfunctioning electric space heater started the fire in the 19-story building. The flames damaged only a small part of the building, but smoke escaped through the apartment's open door and turned stairwells into dark, ash-choked horrors.

Woman dies after being attacked by 3 pit bull terriers in Maryborough, Australia
ABC News (Australia)
Tue, 08 Jun 2021 09:49 UTC
A woman has died after being attacked by three pit bull terriers in Maryborough on Queensland's Fraser Coast this morning.
Emergency services were called to a Milton Road property just after 9:00am following reports of dogs attacking a person.
Acting Inspector Wade Lee said the woman sustained serious injuries to her head, chest and left arm.
The 41-year-old woman was visiting the house when she was mauled by the pit bulls.
She died at the scene.
It is understood the dogs did not live at the house.
"The dogs were in an enclosed yard," Inspector Lee said.
"At this stage it is just a very tragic accident. Initial enquiries reveal there is no criminality involved."
Acting Inspector Lee said the dogs were not believed to have been deemed dangerous in the past and the cause of the attack was unknown.
He said the council has seized the dogs and their fate was yet to be determined.
Police are investigating the incident.

I've always wondered why anybody would have a pit bull. I've never thought they were particularly mean, or particularly prone to attacking. The problem with them, and it's very well publicized, is that when they DO attack, it's far, far more damaging than when other dogs do. It's like, instead of leaving a loaded bb gun around for the kids to find and play with, you leave a loaded shotgun.
Then, my neighbors got a pit bull. We LOVE Mokey! She's a wonderful dog and a ton of fun. So, it's easier for me to see why people might want a pit bull. It's still irresponsible and stupid though. Their lovability doesn't make their attacks, if one comes, less horrible.
Demore · 2021-06-08T14:55:25Z
Steelj That's the problem with them. No off switch when they get going, kill or get killed seems to be a default setting. And what are the triggers ? It seems like both fear of them and lack of fear of them will get them going. Friendly today, tomorrow ? Who knows.
Chester Goode · 2021-06-08T14:30:07Z
Any time there is more than one dog, a "pack mentality" takes over. Three pit bulls are a dangerous threat by any standards, especially in a case like this, when the woman was a stranger to them and thus fair game.
Rowan Cocoan · 2021-06-08T15:06:25Z

This paper investigates informal learning, literacy and language development occurring in the home through exchanges between children of three to six years of age and their grandparents in Sylheti/Bengali-speaking families of Bangladeshi origin and monolingual English-speaking families of mixed ethnicity living in east London. A survey identifying the range of learning activities taking place in and around the home is reported and extracts from case study material from nine families obtained through interviews, video-recording and scrapbooks are explored in terms of the patterns of interaction, the kinds of knowledge exchanged and the discursive opportunities opened up in this process. The findings are interpreted in relation to sociocultural theory where the understandings and skills held by both adults and children can be regarded as contributing to learning as a joint enterprise. The relevance of the exchanges is considered in relation to the shifts between the discursive spaces in which language learning occurs.

Where to camp
Camping is only permitted in designated campgrounds to help ensure that the special experience of visiting WA parks can continue to be enjoyed by others now and into the future. Camping and park entry fees also contribute to that goal.
We encourage all visitors to check the information in this 'camping' section and to follow the simple principles of Leave No Trace to minimise the environmental impact of their visit.
Information on most campgrounds and other accommodation options in parks is included on this website. Campgrounds on WA's long distance trails are not included here, those facilities are exclusively for the use of bushwalkers and cyclists.
Search for a place to stay
When to camp
Most campgrounds are open year-round. The exception is the Kimberley in the state's far north where many campgrounds and parks are closed throughout the wet season from November to April.
Around Perth and 'down south' (the 'Experience Perth' and 'Australia's South West' tourism regions and the south coast) most campgrounds are extremely busy during school and public holidays between Christmas and ANZAC Day (25 April), but all weekends in that period are popular.
In the rest of the state, it's the holidays from Easter to the Queen's Birthday (last Monday in September) that are busiest.
Online booking can be made for some of the most popular campgrounds up to 180 days before arrival.
Where bookings cannot be made
At other campgrounds, except for the busiest periods, camp sites will usually be available but vacancies cannot be guaranteed: always have alternatives in case your first choice campground is full when you arrive.
Instructions for payment are posted on notices at campgrounds and/or park entry points – usually cash only at staffed or unstaffed entry or registration stations, or direct to a ranger or other park officer.

Statistics Canada reports that more than 2 million students are enrolled in post-secondary education? That's a lot of transitioning. If you're one of the students on that path, or the parent of one heading in that direction, here are some tips to help make the transition successful transition.
EMBARGOED TO 0001 MONDAY JUNE 29File photo dated 16/07/08 of university graduates. Job vacancies have increased to a post-recession high, especially for university graduates, according to a new study.
As the cap and gown are hung in the closet and the diploma is mounted on the wall, graduating high school students celebrate graduation and look forward to the days of summer. These sunny months are also a time of transition as students prepare for the next phase of their lives, and for many this means heading to university or college.
When I was a student, the summer months meant balancing work and play. I worked most summers to help pay for my tuition, and have my own spending money. Summer was also my time to try out a few different things -- what jobs I might like come graduation or a dream summer job. But taking advantage of downtime was also important. How? I tried to schedule a week of holidays with friends before starting the coming school year, fun on the weekends and gave myself a little more going out time during the summer break.
Summer continues to play a transition role for me today. Whether it's my son transitioning into Gr. 1 or my current situation as I settle into my new job as Director of Student Banking at RBC. Reflecting back on my summers as a student, I realize that while change in any capacity can be challenging, it is an exciting time to embrace new possibilities as well.
Did you know, Statistics Canada reports that more than 2 million students are enrolled in post-secondary education? That's a lot of transitioning. If you're one of the students on that path, or the parent of one heading in that direction, here are some tips to help make the transition successful transition.
You've worked hard over the past 12+ years so take a well-deserved break. Celebrate with high school friends you may not see come September.
If you're going away to school, this may be the last time you will be living at home. Discuss your new independence and responsibilities. If you're living at home next year, it may be time to show you're financially prepared and independent.
Calculate how much money you will need for the school year -- everything from large expenses such as tuition and housing, to living expenses including groceries, transportation, technology and entertainment. Don't forget the hidden or unexpected costs -- like laundry detergent and toilet paper. And the fun costs like going out with friends, holidays or a new pair of shoes. Determine who will be paying for which items.
The summer will go by quickly and while shopping is often fun for us, avoid stress by shopping early. Make a list of the items you need -- from clothes to technology, school supplies, and accessories for your dorm room -- and decide how much you have to spend. The back-to-school sales are starting earlier each year, so you can do research online to compare prices, track costs, and exercise responsible spending.
For many students, going to college or university may be the first time they've lived away from their families and that means a new and unfamiliar environment. Schedule time during the summer to take a tour of your new school and city. Check out the local transportation so you know how to get around as well as where you will do your shopping, banking and other activities. I think it's worth attending your school's orientation -- to meet new people, and find a few tips and tricks to student life. It's another great way to make sure it's a smooth transition.
No matter where you will be in September, the summer months are the perfect time to take advantage of a more relaxed routine to recharge your batteries and plan for the many new opportunities in the coming months.

Q: Load properties in different Spring context I have two Web applications: app-web1 and app-web2. app-web2 is a module of app-web1. Some configurations are needed by app-web2 that are in app-web1, like a application.properties.
I am using spring PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer to load the properties, but this just work in the context of app-web1. The app-web2's application-context.xml has an import resource from other project common to both Web projects.

Hotels Near Edinburgh Castle
While there are plenty of castles around Edinburgh, the main one people want to see – and be close to when they're picking a hotel – is Edinburgh Castle. Sitting on a hill in the center of the old city, it's impossible to miss – and when you're not familiar with a city, choosing a hotel near a major landmark like that is a great way to know that you're going to be in the middle of the action.
There are several hotels and hostels near Edinburgh Castle, but of course they don't always come cheap – this is, after all, where most people want to be when they visit the city. There are cheaper hotels in Edinburgh that aren't so far away from the castle that you couldn't still walk there (or even take the bus), so if you're hoping to save money that might be an option for you.
Also note that two of the 5-star hotels in Edinburgh featured on WhyGo Scotland, the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa and Caledonian Hilton Hotel, are also very close to the Edinburgh Castle.
Point Hotel Edinburgh
The Point Hotel Edinburgh is on the back side of the castle, but you couldn't ask for a better castle view – especially from the roof terrace. Not all of the rooms have a view of the castle, but of course you're a very short walk from the castle itself if you stay here. There's an on-site restaurant and bar, and it's also got conference rooms for business travelers.
Best Western Edinburgh City Hotel
Also on the back side of the castle (a bit further from the castle than the Point Hotel) lies the Best Western Edinburgh City Hotel. There are 52 rooms in the hotel, and it caters to business travelers as well as leisure travelers with things like free WiFi and conference rooms. There's also an on-site restaurant.
For a less typical hotel experience, the Tigerlily boutique 4-star hotel is a great option. It's located on George Street across Princes Street Gardens from the castle itself, but it's still a short walk – and this stylish little hotel will certainly appeal to those of you who appreciate more unique accommodation. There are more than 30 rooms at Tigerlily, an award-winning on-site restaurant, and a lovely bar.
Castleview Guest House
Not far from Tigerlily is the Castleview Guest House, a 3-star guest house in a restored Georgian building. Along with standard single and double rooms, Castleview also has larger family-style rooms that sleep up to six people. Not all rooms have a view of the castle, so if that's important be sure to ask for that – and note that the dining room, which everyone gets to use, does have castle views. This is a small property, so if it appeals to you don't wait too long to book.
Old Waverley Hotel
The Old Waverley Hotel is located at the end of Princes Street Gardens opposite the castle, but that means it's in a good position to have views over both the park and the castle. It's a B&B-style hotel, and many of the bedrooms have castle views. The restaurant also overlooks the park and Princes Street below.
Hostels Near Edinburgh Castle
On a tight budget but still want to be close to the castle? Check out these hostels right in the neighborhood.
Castle Rock Hostel
As you'd expect from the name, the Castle Rock Hostel is right next to the castle. It's on the back side of the castle, so although it's right next to the main icon of the city it's a fairly quiet street. Castle Rock Hostel has been voted Scotland's top hostel in past years, and it has all the amenities you'd expect from a good European hostel.
Budget Backpackers
The Budget Backpackers hostel is a street behind the Castle Rock Hostel, so it's also extremely close to the castle. This, too, is a hostel that's been voted among the top in Scotland in the past, and it has both private and dorm-style rooms as well as the usual hostel amenities.
Caledonian Backpackers
The Caledonian Backpackers hostel is at the end of Princes Street Garden that's closer to the castle, on the opposite end from High Street just off Princes Street in the New Town. There are female-only dorms in addition to the usual co-ed dorms, and this hostel also has the usual amenities you'd expect.

Q: EXCEL Tab Delimited Export via Formula I would like to generate a Tab Delimited file from excel (using a formula to setup the string)
the reason that i dont want to use the save as function is that i will be generating many different csv/txt files from the one spreadsheet and when you save, the extension of the main file is changed.
this is what i have in Excel, the function must concatenate all columns with tabs in the middle, the Desc field must be encapsulated in double quotes.

when i copy the contents of cell D2 into a text editor returns the following string
"Toyota Corrola ""desc here"""
as you can see Excel decides to place double quotes into the entire string and escapes the original quotes...
Is there any way to fix this?

A: Why don't you copy the data you want to place into a .csv file, open up a new instance of Excel, paste the data in and then save as a .csv file?

A: Although the Excel tab delimited export works perfectly, I needed a Tab Delimited file to be generated on a selection, as fast as possible.
Found/Edited the code below and assigned an Excel Macro Shortcut to it:
    Sub QuoteCommaExport()
    Dim DestFile As String
    Dim FileNum As Integer
    Dim ColumnCount As Integer

Q: How do I Git pull an Angular app to a local Angular-pwa enabled project? I created an angular app which I pushed to my Bitbucket repository. To turn my angular app into a Progressive Web App, I followed this step by step guide.
The result, was a newly created folder (as per the guide) called angular-pwa. I then cd into the angular-pwa and pulled my app from the repository.
The commands I used to pull my app:
git init .
git remote add origin
https://myName@bitbucket.org/myName/myAppName.git
git pull origin master

I never saw any error messages following the above commands, suggesting that my app was successfully pulled, however, when I cd into the angular-pwa folder, I don't see any trance of my pulled app.
By pulling my app from the repository, I expected everything in the angular-pwa folder to be overwritten with my pulled app.
Running ng serve -o --port 4000 also shows the default angular page installed via ng new angular-pwa as seen below but NOT my app:
the default app installed via ng new angular-pwa

What am I doing wrong, and how to achieve the desired outcome?

Producing polysynthetic verb forms in West Circassian (Adyghe): an experimental study
Lander Yu., Arkhangelskiy T. Linguistics. WP BRP. НИУ ВШЭ, 2015. No. 23/LNG/2015.
This paper describes a pilot experiment which was conducted by the authors with speakers of the polysynthetic West Circassian (Adyghe) language and aimed at investigating their ability to use complex verb forms that cross-reference several arguments introduced by applicative morphology. The results of the experiment support the view that complex polysynthetic words can be constructed in the course of speech and do not necessarily belong to any common inventory of word forms. In addition, we make several conclusions which concern productivity of applicatives and their order within the West Circassian verb.
Prefixes and suffixes in the Adyghe polysynthetic wordform: types of interaction
Letuchiy A., Аркадьев П. М. In bk.: Languages and cultures in the Caucasus. Iss. 16. Muenchen; Berlin: Verlag Otto Sagner, 2011. P. 495-514.
The topic of this article has to do with the types of interaction between prefixes and suffixes in the morphological structure and semantic interpretation of the extremely complex polysynthetic Adyghe verbal form. As we show, the relationships between the elements of the different parts of the verbal form are both non-trivial and heterogeneous, which suggests that affix interaction can be an important parameter of morphological complexity in languages.
The cases of interaction between prefixes and suffixes vary in three parameters: 1) the direction of restriction (from suffix to prefix or the other way around); 2) semantic relations between suffix and prefix; 3) range of restriction (suffix and prefix impossible without each other; possible, but with an idiomatic meaning, and so on).
Restrictions of the Adyghe type can be an important criterion for grammatical semantics and morphology, since they show which meanings and to which extent are conceptualized as close to each other by the language system.
Актанты и сирконстанты в морфологии и в синтаксисе адыгейского языка
Ландер Ю. А. Вестник РГГУ. Серия: История. Филология. Культурология. Востоковедение. 2015. № 1. С. 7-31.
This paper discusses the morphological and syntactic means of expression of participants in morphology and syntax of West Circassian (Adyghe) focusing on the argument vs adjunct characteristics of these means. West Circassian provide evidence for the non-discretness of the argument/adjunct contrast but also shows the necessity to distinguish between argument/adjunct properties in morphological expressions and in syntactic expressions.
Ergativity, valency and voice
Authier G., Haude K. Iss. 48. Berlin; Boston: De Gruyter Mouton, 2012.
The volume is a collection of articles concerned with the typology of valency and valency change in a large and diversified sample of languages that display ergative alignment in their grammar. The sampof languages represented in these descriptive contributions covers most of the geographical areas and linguistic families in which ergativity has been known to exist jointly with well-developed morphological voice, and some languages belonging to families in which ergativity or voice were not previously recognized or adequately described up to now.
Argument structure and grammatical relations. A cross-linguistic typology
Iss. 126. Amsterdam; Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2012.
This book is a collection of articles dealing with various aspects of grammatical relations and argument structure in the languages of Europe and North and Central Asia (LENCA). Topics covered with respect to individual languages are: split-intransitivity (Basque), causativization (Agul), transitives and causatives (Korean and Japanese), aspectual domain and quantification (Finnish and Udmurt), head-marking principles (Athabaskan languages), and pragmatics (Eastern Khanty and Xibe). Typology of argument-structure properties of 'give' (LENCA), typology of agreement systems, asymmetry in argument structure, typology of the Amdo Sprachbund, spatial realtors (Northeastern Turkic), core argument patterns (languages of Northern California), and typology of grammatical relations (LENCA) are the topics of articles based on cross-linguistic data. The broad empirical sweep and the fine-tuned theoretical analysis highlight the central role of argument structure and grammatical relations with respect to a plethora of linguistic phenomena.
Multilingualism in Daghestan
Kozhukhar A. A., Barylnikova D. Linguistics. WP BRP. НИУ ВШЭ, 2013. No. 04/LIN/2013.
This study deals with the phenomenon of multilingualism so common in the areas of a high level of language density. The research was carried out in Daghestan in one of the many spots where languages from several different groups of the East Caucasian family are spoken. Through retrospective interviews (Dobrushina 2013), we investigate whether the ability to speak the language of the neighbors has changed over the last one hundred years.
Recursion and human language
Berlin; NY: De Gruyter Mouton, 2010.
In this volume, the issue of recursion is tackled from a variety of angles. Some article cover formal issues regarding the proper characterization or definition of recursion, while others focus on empirical matters by examining the kinds of structures in languages that suggest recursive mechanisms in the grammar. Most articles deal with syntactic phenomena, but several involve morphology, the lexicon and phonology. In addition, we find discussions of evolutionary notions and language disorders, and the broader cognitive context of recursion.
Приименные посессивные конструкции в тантынском даргинском
Ландер Ю. А. Кавказоведческие разыскания. 2011. № 3. С. 77-95.
The paper presents a description and a discussion of adnominal possessive constructions in Tanti Dargwa, a Northeast Caucasian language spoken in Daghestan. While at first glance these constructions look quite typical for the family, on a closer inspection it turns out that they display at least two typologically non-trivial phenomena. First, Tanti Dargwa manifests a dedicated construction referring to the "annulated" possessive relation (like my forme house). Second, the language shows a specific pattern whereby the possessum may take the noun class of the possessor and control agreement in accordance to this assignment.

Подходы к полисинтетизму
Ландер Ю. А. Вестник РГГУ. Серия «Филологические науки. Языкознание»/ Московский лингвистический журнал. 2011. Т. 13. № 11 (73) /11. С. 102-126.
The paper surveys various approaches to polysynthetic languages and demonstrates that the criteria for characterizing a language as a polysynthetic one are either not clear or only hold for some of the polysynthetic languages. It is argued that polysynthetic languages do not constitute a homogeneous class, yet the idea of polysynthesis may reflect certain diachronic processes.

It's safe to say that streetwear labels have become part of the Chinese youth's uniform. A typical attire includes a Supreme fanny pack, an Off-White shirt, maybe a pair of Fear of God jeans...and, of course, a pair of Yeezys - it's a formula.
As the demand to diversify the streetwear scene in Asia is on the incline, Heron Preston has hit the sweet spot by opening his first ever flagship store in Hong Kong last month. Preston is a multifaceted artist who doesn't just design good clothing, but is also a published documentary photographer, DJ on request and creative consultant who's worked for Nike and Kanye West.
With such a solid and extensive repertoire, Preston has managed to command global attention with his streetwear label, which first crashed the scene in 2016 with his "UNIFORM" collection in partnership with New York City's Department of Sanitation. I managed to sit down with Preston himself, to look back on his career trajectory, being a San Francisco native, and how to keep up a jack-of-all-trades hustle.
Congrats on your first store! What made you decide to have it in Hong Kong?
In discussion with my business partners, we thought that Hong Kong would be a good luck city for our first store. It's like the NYC of the east, it's a great place to introduce our brand to China and the rest of Asia.
Did you know from the start you'd want to make your groundings in Asia?
At first, I didn't necessarily think about it. I have amazing partners in Italy, and after a lot of discussion we decided that Hong Kong would be the best city for us to grow and get a lot more eyes on the brand. I've been mostly active in North America and Europe, so this opportunity was the next step in the evolution of the brand.
I also heard you're from the Bay Area as well!
Born and raised! Lower Haight, San Francisco!
But you went to Parsons for your education. So Heron, which coast is the best coast?
Man…I love them both! I'll say the west coast for the weather, because the east coast gets brutal. Every time I go back to San Francisco or Los Angeles, it just feels calmer.
I found that growing up in the Bay Area, people are so used to the suburbia lifestyle. What drove you to want to get out of that, and how do you feel about your career up until this point?
I grew up skating in San Francisco, so I think watching movies of kids around New York and seeing that skate culture was always so fascinating. So the energy and culture is what really attracted me to move out to New York to do Parsons and do education there… then also deciding to live there after graduation.
Design and Management. And as far as my career, it's a work in progress. I never necessarily saw myself in the light as a fashion designer, because that's not what I did at school. I did something a little different, but still rooted in creativity, art and design. So it just started off as making t-shirts around San Francisco, screen printing by hand myself - that was my creative outlet. When I moved to New York, I started blogging, taking photos, making videos, documenting the downtown lifestyle, which all eventually turned into a book deal! So all of these projects up until this point have been like building blocks into launching the full collection you see now.
How would your teenage self react knowing what was going to happen to him in the years to come?
I don't think my teenage self could've imagined it haha, he'd be super psyched. I've always been into clothing and style, growing up in the Jordan era, collecting sneakers. He'd be so excited by what's happening right now.
It seems like you really like orange, why is it such a prominent colour in your work?
When I was launching the collection and thinking about what some of the signature staples of the collection would be - from the logos to the colours, I was looking at a lot of photography of the Heron bird. I saw some orange in the colour palette of the bird, and that's how I made it the key colour.
Have you dressed anyone in particular or have you seen someone wearing your clothes that you're personally a huge fan of?
I just recently saw Cardi B wearing the collection! I just did this Uggs collaboration and was so excited to see her in it.
How did it feel to see them wearing your designs?
It's always a surprise, working in this business you never know whose buying your stuff until you see it out.
You also DJ on the side, how does it play out into your fashion career?
It goes hand in hand, it's like the heartbeat of culture. Music drives a lot of what we do, the night life and partying. These moments are when some of the best ideas are being shared. Going out is like a fashion show in itself, seeing the interesting and unique ways that people put their style together. It totally goes hand in hand, I can't imagine fashion without music.
You're friends with other prominent creatives like Kanye West, Virgil Abloh, Matthew Williams. Have they influenced the way you work? How do you think your brand differentiates itself from the rest of the streetwear realm?
We all kinda feed and build off of each other. We've all created together, from working with Kanye to also doing our own projects with other brands. A lot of this is an evolution of our youth and our friendship. There's a lot of similarities between us but the way we differ is in the storytelling and our approach to marketing - how we decide to present our brands.
Now we're gonna do some word association, so I'll say a phrase and you tell me what's the first thing that comes to mind… your go-to drink?


Days before the College stepped onto their home turf to take on Buffalo State College, senior quarterback Chris James described his offenses' scoring potential as "scary." Following the Lions' 47-31 Bengal beat down on Saturday, no one is questioning James' frightening claim.
The Lions walked the walk in their season opener, burning the Bengals for two touchdowns of 40 yards or more, as well as an 82-yard kickoff return touchdown by sophomore Scott Mathurin.
The Lions came out strong on their first drive, when sophomore running back Justin Doniloski took off for a 46-yard touchdown within the first two minutes of play. Following Mathurin's return and a goal line TD by junior running back Michael Yetka, the Lions led 21-10 after the first quarter.
The College continued to pound Buffalo State on the ground, rushing for 312 total yards distributed between James, Doniloski, Yetka and senior back Chase Misiura.
Yetka led the Lions on Saturday with 101 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including a 50-yard burst to the endzone in the second quarter.
"The plan is usually to go in balanced, keep the defense guessing and not run too much, but we saw that running the ball was being effective so we just kept going with that until it stopped," Richardson said.
The College's defense, although lenient in the first half allowing 24 points, shut down its New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) foes in the second half, allowing only one fourth quarter touchdown and forcing a safety.
"It seemed like (the defense) got those first half jitters out and were able to play more calm and relaxed football," Richardson said.
James and the Lions' passing attack were not much of a factor in the victory, accounting for a scarce 109 yards.
The College will have a while to soak in their first victory, as they do not take on Fairleigh Dickinson University – Florham until Sept. 18. The Devils edged out the Lions 42-41 in their season opener last year.
"The coaches do a good job of keeping us motivated on long layoffs like this with high intensity practices," Richardson said.

We get it, we've all had those days when you show up to work and accidentally dump salt in your coffee instead of sugar. However, that doesn't make this photo look any less amusing.
In actuality, it looks like something much cooler has happened in this photo than someone having a case of the Mondays. It appears the earth beneath the road has caused it to crack and shift, which is actually pretty neat. Well, maybe not for the road crew who now look like they don't know how to connect the yellow lines.

ZSL: zk-SNARKs for the Enterprise
Jack Gavigan |
The Zerocoin Electric Coin Company's primary focus is – and always will be – developing and supporting Zcash.
However, as a startup that needs to generate revenue in order to survive, it would be remiss of us to ignore the potential revenue stream represented by the enterprise market for distributed ledger technology (DLT), which has generated intense interest from a range of industry sectors, including financial services, healthcare, and sectors that seek to benefit from the full potential of connected and IoT-enabled devices.
There are a plethora of potential use cases for blockchain technology where confidentiality and privacy are prerequisites, for a variety of reasons, ranging from standard commercial confidentiality to legal and regulatory requirements. In the US, the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act mandates privacy for consumer financial information, and the HIPAA security rule establishes a standard for protecting individuals' personal health information; the EU's Data Protection Directive (soon to be replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation) mandates that personal data must be protected from unauthorised disclosure; and commercial confidentiality requirements transcend both borders and industries.
We believe that Zcash's privacy-preserving technology can meet many of the confidentiality and privacy requirements for enterprise distributed ledgers.
To understand how the technology that underpins Zcash can meet these types of requirements, it helps to understand Zcash's architecture.
Zcash's Layered Architecture
On the Bitcoin blockchain, creating a valid transaction involves proving three things:
that the coins have not been spent previously,
that the Sender is authorised to transfer "ownership" of the coins in question, and
that the transaction's inputs equal its outputs.
Proof that the coins have not been spent previously is obtained from the ledger itself, and requires no effort by the Sender.
The Sender proves ownership of the coins he wants to transfer by digitally signing the transaction using the secret key that corresponds to the address that currently holds the coins. To allow this signature to be verified, the Sending address must be disclosed. In turn, the Recipient will only be able to spend the coins, if his address is also disclosed.
With Bitcoin, verifying that the transaction's inputs equal its outputs is trivial because the amount being transferred is disclosed.
Zcash uses zero-knowledge proofs (specifically, zk-SNARKs) to prove the same three facts, without revealing any information about the Sender, Recipient or the assets that are being transferred. Each valid transaction is accompanied by a zk-SNARK which proves that: the Input assets exist and have not been spent previously, the creator of the transaction has authority to spend the Input assets, and the quantity and type of the Inputs equals the quantity and type of the Outputs.
The information required to spend the Outputs (by creating a new zk-SNARK) is attached to the transaction, encrypted using the Recipient's public key, and can only be used by the Recipient.
The result is effectively a new type of distributed ledger, which we call the zero-knowledge security layer, or ZSL.
Zcash is an implementation of ZSL, using a fork of the Bitcoin codebase to enable transparent transactions.
In building Zcash, we could have implemented ZSL by itself (i.e. without support for transparent transactions) but we believe that users were more likely to be comfortable with a cryptocurrency that also supports the sort of transparent transactions they're already familiar with. Enabling Bitcoin-style transparent transactions also makes it simple to integrate with Zcash using existing tools and infrastructure that were built to support Bitcoin.
ZSL can be layered on top of any distributed ledger solution, adding support for shielded transactions to the underlying ledger's featureset. However, it does not automatically follow that all of the underlying ledger's functionality will benefit from the added privacy and confidentiality. For example, integrating ZSL with the Ethereum codebase would make it possible to use shielded transactions to protect users' privacy, but smart contracts would still need to be executed transparently. We are still in the early stages of researching how programmability can be implemented within ZSL in an efficient manner.
ZSL can also be integrated with any consensus mechanism; instead of proof of work, an enterprise ledger could use round-robin, proof of stake, or new consensus mechanisms like Tendermint. It could even be integrated into a MySQL database, where a schema plugin requires valid proofs for table inserts but the database administrator cannot see account balances.
This approach gives a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to enterprise use cases. It means that confidentiality and privacy can be achieved while maintaining fungibility of the digital assets being transacted, without compromising the fully-decentralised nature of the distributed ledger. This is a key advantage over privacy techniques that use traditional encryption to protect transaction details – fungibility of the assets transferred in such transactions can only be achieved if the details of past transactions are revealed to the next recipient (which compromises confidentiality and privacy), or if a trusted third party is used to verify the validity of transactions (which compromises the fully-decentralised nature of a distributed ledger).
Another advantage of the layered architecture is that it allows us to focus on what we do best. We're a small company, and we plan to remain tightly focused on developing innovative cryptographic technologies (as opposed to building a full enterprise distributed ledger solution). By delivering those technologies as an "add-on" layer, we can partner with solution providers to offer end users zk-SNARKs-based confidentiality and privacy on their DLT platform of choice.
At the risk of sounding clichéd, we want to grow the pie through collaboration instead of competing for as big a slice as possible.
Improving Zcash's (and ZSL's) functionality
Zcash has already set the gold standard for privacy but we're not resting on our laurels. We recently announced our development priorities for 2017, including support for user-issued tokens (which will allow anyone to issue and transact digital assets on the Zcash platform with the same confidentiality and privacy that protects ZEC transactions) and cross-chain interoperability with Bitcoin and Ethereum, which will allow users to exchange ZEC for bitcoins and ether without the need to go through a centralised exchange.
Our primary objective in developing these features is to enhance Zcash's utility for its early adopters and attract new users. However, there's also a key side-benefit: these features are also of use to potential enterprise users.
The Payment Disclosure feature we're working on is the first step towards allowing users to disclose details of their shielded transactions to a third party, while keeping them secret from everyone else. For Zcash, this can be used to create the equivalent of a payment receipt, to help resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems. For enterprise use cases, it can also be leveraged to enable users to give a third party such as an auditor, regulator or arbitrator the ability to view the details of specific transactions (or be able to monitor all their transactions, in real-time), while keeping them confidential from other blockchain users.
Adding support for User-Issued Tokens to ZSL will enable the dynamic issuance and trading of different digital assets on the same blockchain. This has obvious applications in the financial sector, which is already exploring the use of blockchain technology for trading securities. By using ZSL, the details of such trades can be kept confidential, and the identities of the counterparties can be kept private, without compromising the fungibility of the assets being traded.
Furthermore, giving blockchain participants the ability to dynamically issue their own digital assets opens up a wide range of use cases such as blockchain issuance and trading of commercial paper, discounted invoices, syndicated loans, corporate bonds, and a variety of derivatives (which we refer to as "blockchain-traded derivatives", to differentiate from the more traditional exchange-traded derivatives).
In the interoperability space, we're working on implementing support for cross-chain atomic transactions (XCAT), which will make it possible to exchange assets across different blockchains, and enable interoperability between different types of blockchain, optimised for transacting different types of assets, and operating under different governance models and regulatory regimes. For example, a blockchain-traded derivative traded on a blockchain operating under the CFTC's oversight could be settled by the delivery of shares on a ledger regulated by the SEC. A securities trade on a blockchain operated by NYSE or the DTCC could be settled, DvP-style, using CBDC or commercial bank money ("b-money") on a ledger operated by the Federal Reserve.
Efficiency, performance and scalability are key areas of focus for us. Currently, generating the zk-SNARK for a shielded Zcash transaction takes just over 40 seconds on a typical desktop CPU. While we're delivering incremental performance improvements over time, we're also conducting research into how to improve the core cryptographic circuit, which could enable significant efficiency improvements, unlocking the use of ZSL for use cases that require low latency and high-throughput.
In the meantime, Payment Offloading will make it possible for clients running on low-powered devices to offload the more computationally-intensive elements of zk-SNARK proof generation to a more powerful server.
Blockchains and distributed ledgers are an emergent technology. To my mind, it's at a similar level of maturity as the Internet and the "World Wide Web" were in 1996. Back then, it was clear that the Internet had the potential to change the world but it took time for the technology to mature and achieve widespread adoption, and for our understanding of its potential to develop to the point where we could begin to exploit it fully.
Distributed ledger technology – and our understanding of it – also needs to develop, evolve and mature before many of the potential use cases can be realised, especially those which require large-scale or widespread deployment and adoption.
We expect that exploring enterprise uses for zk-SNARKs will help us improve the public Zcash network, by exposing us to ideas and use cases that expand our understanding of potential applications, and through the creation of tools and features that can be backported to Zcash.
We recognise that there is a potential conflict of interest between our role as the primary drivers behind the Zcash cryptocurrency and our desire to generate revenue by selling ZSL-enabled solutions to enterprises. To ensure independence and objectivity, we have established an independent, non-profit Zcash Foundation to represent the interests of the Zcash community and the general public as users of the Zcash protocol and blockchain.
In the longer term, we believe that widespread adoption and use of the technologies that underpin Zcash will benefit all its users, in the same way that adoption of Linux by enterprise users has benefited personal and hobbyist Linux users.
Ultimately, our goal is a future in which everyone who uses distributed ledger technology, from individuals to enterprises, can benefit from the full potential of the most advanced privacy technologies.

Spinning Off Our Sibling Company


In this PDF, the fallout shelter is a ceiling shelter in which protection is provided in a basement corner by bricks or concrete blocks between the overhead joists. A beam and jack column support the extra weight.
FEMA considered this one of the better plans in low risk areas. Remember this is a fallout shelter, not a bomb shelter.
It was designed to protect against radiological contamination by providing a relatively low cost mass.
According to the document, this fallout shelter should take approximately two "man days" of work, meaning 16 hours of labor. 2 skilled people could do this in a single day, 4 could do it in half a work day.
