Background: Transparency International defines conflict of interest (COI) as a "situation where an individual or the entity for which they work, whether a government, business, media outlet or civil society organization, is confronted with choosing between the duties and demands of their position and their own private interests".
Objectives: Since conflicts of interest have the potential to bias decisions made by health policymakers and stakeholders, the objective of this study is to assess the frequency and types of COI disclosed by authors of systematic reviews on health policy and systems.
Methods: We have initiated a methodological survey using standard systematic review methodology. We searched the Health Systems Evidence (HSE) database, which is a comprehensive and continuously updated database of systematic reviews for health systems and policy topics. We defined a COI disclosure as the reporting of whether a COI exists or not (i.e. includes a statement of the absence of COI). For the classification of COI, we have adapted a framework previously used in studies assessing COIs reported by authors of clinical systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials. We will refine the framework based on the findings of this study.
Results: We are currently in the screening phase of the study. At the Colloquium, we will present the results of descriptive and regression analyses.
Conclusions: The findings of this study will contribute to improving the reporting of conflicts of interest in systematic reviews of health policy and systems, which are increasingly providing the basis for decision-making by health policymakers and stakeholders.

A Discula destructiva a Sordariomycetes osztályának a Diaporthales rendjébe, ezen belül a Valsaceae családjába tartozó faj.

Tudnivalók
A Discula destructiva nevű tömlősgomba, az észak-amerikai som-fajok egyik legnagyobb kártevője. Főleg a Cornus florida és nagyvirágú som fajokat támadja meg.

1978-ban telepítették be az Amerikai Egyesült Államokba. Manapság elterjedt az ország keleti részén, és a kontinens északnyugati részén. Nem ismert a származási helye. Általában tavasszal és ősszel jelenik meg, amikor hűvös és nedves az éghajlat. Csak úgy lehet ellene harcolni, ha a száraz évszakban öntözzük a somfáinkat és odafigyelünk az egészségi állapotukra.

UMD Researchers Addressing Urinary Tract...
UMD Researchers Addressing Urinary Tract Infections by Developing Device for Detection and Treatment of Bacterial Biofilms in Catheters
According to a 2015 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most commonly reported healthcare-associated infection, and 75 percent of UTIs acquired by hospitalized patients involve the use of a catheter. Approximately 15-25 percent of people who are hospitalized receive catheters during their stay. While catheters are a necessary and important tool, catheter-associated UTIs can potentially prolong hospital stays and lead to worsened health.
Catheter-associated UTIs develop when bacterial biofilms form on the surface of an indwelling catheter. The bacteria enter the urinary tract through the catheter tube, in turn, infecting the patient. High doses of antibiotics are required to combat bacterial biofilms, which leads to an increase in antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
University of Maryland researchers have tackled this problem head-on by inventing a catheter insert that can detect and prevent bacteria biofilm formation in real-time. It is a biofilm sensing and treatment microsystem for urinary catheters that combines biofilm sensing and the bioelectric effect treatment in a flexible cylindrical tube. The device is rolled and inserted inside the catheter, where its microfabricated polymeric substrate and electrodes seamlessly conform to the catheter's surface. If biofilm begins to form on the film, the electrical properties of the electrode will change, alerting caretakers. The electrodes also emit a low electrical field that combats the formation of biofilms and treats them when combined with a low dose of antibiotics.
Previous research has proven that electrodes can be effective in detecting the formation of microfilms and that electrical fields in combination with antibiotics – the bioelectric effect – can treat them, but the team's invention is the first attempt to unify these discoveries in a tool that can be deployed to detect, prevent, and treat bacterial infections.
"This invention has the potential to reduce the burden of biofilm-based UTIs in hospitals and on other kinds of biofilm-susceptible surfaces, such as in water systems and food production facilities," said Ryan Huiszoon, Ph.D. student in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering and one of the inventors. "This approach could potentially lessen the impact of antibiotic resistance and help slow its spread.
The "Flexible Urinary Catheter Insert to Detect and Prevent Bacterial Infections" was invented by researchers at the A. James Clark School of Engineering: Huiszoon; Pradeep Rajasekaran, post-doctoral researcher with the Institute for Systems Research (ISR); and Reza Ghodssi, Herbert Rabin Distinguished Chair in Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and ISR. William E. Bentley, Robert E. Fischell Distinguished Professor and Director of Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices, served as a collaborator on the project.
The team intends to commercialize the technology and is conducting additional testing and incorporating wireless control features before taking it to market.
The research was initially funded by the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation.
The "Flexible Urinary Catheter Inserts to Detect and Prevent Bacterial Infections" has been nominated for the Invention of the Year award in the life sciences category, for which the winners will be announced at the 2018 Innovate Maryland celebration on April 11.

Pat Mills: Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! 2000AD and Judge Dredd: The Secret History: Part One
Pat Mills is the creator and founding editor of 2000AD, and this is history of the comic as he remembers it, although he recognises that others' memories may be different and contradict his. It takes its title from the watchwords of his most popular villain: Torquemada, the ultimate Fascist Grand Master of Termight, in a feudal age of space travel, violence and magic far in the future. The book is divided into three sections, each named after one of Torquemada's three commands. The slogan even turned up on the Berlin wall, which figures. The East Germans had been living under a dictatorship not too different from Torquemada's. It was anti-racist and anti-Fascist, but still very much a police state, where the country was watched and dissent ruthlessly crushed. A friend of mine also told me that the slogan was used by Adolf Hitler in a speech he gave to the Bund Deutscher Madel, or German Maids' League, the female equivalent of the Hitler Youth. Which also figures. Torquemada wanted to exterminate every intelligent alien race in the Galaxy, and was constantly making speeches exhorting humans not to 'have truck with deviant, dally with the succubus' and so on. In other words, no racial mixing. Which was definitely what the Nazis were trying to indoctrinate these girls with.
The book tells how Mills and John Wagner got sick of grinding out stories in a garden shed, lit by paraffin lamps, and moved to London to revolutionise British comics with creation of Battle, Action and 2000AD – the Galaxy's greatest comic. At this stage of their career, Mills and Wagner were so poor that they couldn't afford new typing paper after they ran out, and so at one point ended typing them up on tracing paper. The economics of writing stories was such that to make ends meet, you had to write several stories very quickly in a matter of days.
It is this attitude, and the British industry's contemptible treatment of comics creators, that Mills returns to criticise throughout this book, making a very strong and convincing case that it is these attitudes that have caused the decline in comics in Britain in contrast to France, where they are flourishing. In Britain, comics creators do not own the rights to creations. They can be given to other writers and artists, and their creators are not paid royalties for them. In France, the reverse is true, and so comics creators spend years, decades, writing and drawing some of the greatest strips in the world. Think of such comic greats as Moebius, Caza, and Enki Bilal, and the rest of them, who came out of Metal Hurlant and les Humanoides Associes.
He also had to cope with the lack of interest in any reform from the old guard, who were quite simply just content to go on as they always had, until the industry finally collapsed and they were made unemployed or drew their pensions. They were shocked when Mills bought several books on science, because he was writing and editing a science fiction comic. This was too much for company management, who found the idea of doing research for a children's comic ridiculous. And then there's the issue of the studied contempt the management treated artists' work. They used them on dartboards, or to plug drains. Several artists told Mills flatly that they weren't going to work him as IPC was the company that closed down Frank Bellamy's studio. Bellamy, along with Frank Hampson, was the awesome artist who worked on the classic Dan Dare. And his artwork was treated in the same contemptible fashion. As a result, much of it has been lost, although its still a massive favourite at fan conventions and when it comes on the market, rightly fetches high sums.
Mills tells the story of how he came to create favourite 2000AD characters like Judge Dredd, Nemesis the Warlock, Slaine and Finn. He champions the work of artists, who he feels have been unfairly neglected, or even vilified. They include Belardinelli for his contribution to the Slaine strip, which he is proud to have had put back into Titan's reprints of the strip, as well as SMS, David Bircham, and Fay Dalton. SMS is a superb artist, whose work has appeared on the cover of Interzone, amongst others. He drew the ABC Warriors strip when they were trying to save Termight and the universe from destruction from an artificial black hole, created by Terra's engineers to give them quick access to space and the Galaxy. One of the results was a whole city like the dimension-twisting drawings of the zarjaz Max Escher. Fay Dalton won a £1,000 prize in a competition to get more women into comics. She draws and paints in a retro style, looking back to the glamour of the 50s. She didn't last long. It was too sexy for the puritanical Thargs. Then there was the sheer abuse some fans meted out to John Hicklenton, another awesome artist best known for his work on Nemesis the Warlock. Hicklenton was stricken with MS, and sadly ended his life in a Dignitas Clinic. His career and struggle with the condition was the subject of Channel 4 documentary a few years ago. His escape from this 'medieval, terrorist disease' was his art, and so it was particularly cruel that he should have subjected to often very coarse abuse.
Mills is also unhappy, and understandably so, about the way his then wife, and co-creator of Slaine, Angela Kincaid, was treated by the other writers and artists. She was the artist on the very first Slaine strip. This topped the reader's polls that week, but she was very much excluded from the boy's club of the other creators. No-one rang her up to congratulate her and she was ignored by them. This wouldn't have occurred if she was a bloke.
Mills takes the time to correct a few myths. He was determined that it wouldn't be a comic dominated by a main strip, which carried the others, like Captain Hurricane in Valiant. Instead, it was to be a comic of all main strips, including the revived Dan Dare, Mach 1, a superpowered secret agent based on The Six Million Dollar Man, and Shako. This was about a polar bear, who was being chased by the American army because it had swallowed a top secret, radioactive satellite that had crashed to Earth. He also talks about the creation of such fave strips as Ro-Busters, which became the ABC Warriors, and, of course, Nemesis the Warlock and the inspiration for Torquemada.
The evil Grand Master and Judge Dredd were based on two, viciously sadistic monks teaching at his old Roman Catholic school, and, he strongly hints, were paedophiles. One of them was yanked from teaching and sent to monastery in the Channel Islands to sort out his sexual appetites. He was later sacked, and returned briefly as a lay teacher, before being kicked again. The schoolboys made jokes about how the other monks on the island must be similarly depraved, and imagined what shipwrecked sailors would do. Coming up the beach to find the Brothers running towards them, they'd turn and head as quickly as possible back to the sea. But neither of the two were prosecuted. Other old boys have found literary outlets to express their pain and trauma at the hands of these monsters. Mills simply states that his is humiliating Torquemada.
Continued in Part Two.

The Influence of Metal Hurlant on Science Fiction Cinema
Yesterday I put up a piece I found on YouTube about the influence French Science Fiction comics had on Star Wars. This short video by the same poster, Abstract Looper, explores the profound influence the artists of the French adult SF comic, Metal Hurlant, known to the Anglophone world as Heavy Metal, has had on modern Science Fiction cinema. Metal Hurlant was founded in 1974 by Les Humanoides Associees Jean 'Moebius' Giraud, Dionnet and Philippe Druillet. The video shows the striking visual similarities between scenes and designs in the comic's various strips, and the films Mad Max, Alien, Blade Runner, Nausicaa – Valley of the Wind, Avatar, the original 70s Battlestar Galactica TV series, Hellboy, Prometheus and the Matrix. There's a clip of Ridley Scott saying that when he made Alien, he was influenced by the visual material produced by Moebius and the French magazine. Guillermo del Toro also confessed that he was influenced by Richard Corben, another of the magazine's artists. Terry Gilliam also states that the magazine was an influence on him. As does James Cameron. Rutgar Hauer, who played Roy Batty in Blade Runner also appears, telling how the producers visualised the future as already old. In fact, the producers of Blade Runner based their vision of Los Angeles on the towering cityscapes of Philippe Druillet. As well as Druillet, Dionnet, Corben and Moebius, another of the comic's creators, the Franco-Yugoslavian artist Enki Bilal, was also influential. Also making the point are the similarities between the comics' art and the concept drawings produced for the Alien and Matrix movies.
You could also add the Judge Dredd movies to this list as well. 2000 AD's creator, Pat Mills, hates superhero comics. When he launched the Galaxy's Greatest Comic way back in the 1970s, he was influenced by the French SF comics. Which naturally includes Metal Hurlant. Judge Dredd's look was created by Carlos Ezquerra, a Spanish artist living in London, who has an artistic style very similar to Moebius.
As an aside, I was also pleased that the interview with Ridley Scott also had Russian subtitles. This shows how much the world has changed since I was at school. This was the years of the new Cold War, created by Thatcher and Reagan, when there were real fears of nuclear Armageddon. I felt profoundly optimistic when the Berlin Wall fell, along with Communism. There seemed at last a real possibility of a genuine, lasting peace between eastern and western Europe. I believe very strongly that it has been a massive improvement in world affairs that the peoples of the former eastern bloc can come to Britain to live, work and raise families.
And I am appalled and angry that Trump and the Democrats are pushing a new Cold War with Putin, and thus endangering the world all over again.
Warning: Heavy Metal was an 'adult' comic, which means that there's some cartoon nudity. This was the magazine that was filmed as The Heavy Metal Movie, and which became notorious for the female nudity of the 'Taarna' sequence, which in turn inspired the episode 'Major B***age' in South Park. This may have changed, however. In an interview in the comics press a few years ago, its British editor stated that the magazine was dropping the nudity, because it was irrelevant given the amount of real nudity on the Web. He promised that the magazine would still be sexy, however.

How the Biggest Massachusetts Breweries Performed in 2018
by Rob | Jun 12, 2019 | Blog Posts, Mass. Brewery Stats | 0 comments
Regionals: Mostly Growth, But A Few Surprises
The Brewers Association (BA) recently published its annual industry review issue, an examination of the previous year's production numbers for the nation's more than 7,300 independent craft brewers. Of note was that many of the larger, so-called regional breweries (those who produce 15,000 barrels or more) struggled to grow or even retracted in 2018. The Bay State's biggest breweries fared a bit better, but competition continued to stiffen and there were a few surprising numbers reported by some of the state's leading brands. Let's start with some insight and analysis on the chart in the featured image above.
Of note is that Boston Beer, better known by craft drinkers as Sam Adams, is not listed on our chart of the largest local breweries because it brews less than one percent of its beer at its local R & D brewery in Jamaica Plain. According to an employee at the brewery, its Boston headquarters only produces beer for festivals, exclusive local draft accounts, and tour & taproom consumption. The rest is brewed at its large scale breweries in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Similarly, Nantucket based Cisco Brewers is not charted because it produced the bulk of its 21,500 barrels of beer at the Craft Brew Alliance (CBA) facility in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The brand and its distribution is now fully owned by CBA, who is partially owned by AB-InBev and therefore no longer meets the BAs definition of a craft brewer. Small scale brewing operations on the island brewery, which Cisco retained in the deal, is reported separately and still considered craft by the BA.
Harpoon, who topped the Massachusetts list and ranks as the 18th largest brewer nationally, produced two thirds of its 185,000 barrels at its South Boston brewery. The rest was brewed at its second facility in Vermont. As with many of the country's largest and oldest breweries, their production was flat for 2018. Were it not for the inclusion of Clown Shoes' production numbers, a brand they acquired in late 2017 and who accounted for an estimated 12,000 barrels, Harpoon would have lost ground.
Another mature brand, Ipswich Ale Brewery, faired worse. It manufactured roughly two thirds of its previous year's total. Much of the decrease was attributed to its contract brewing arm, Mercury Brewing, which previously brewed Clown Shoes' beer. Virtually all of that production should be replaced by Newburyport Brewing in 2019, however. The two recently formed a strategic partnership in which Ipswich/Mercury will brew Newburyport's beer while it pursues plans to build a new destination brewery that will focus on small batch beers and live music events. Newburyport's production, much of it distribution, was flat for a second year in a row.
The only other regional brewery that didn't experience growth in 2018 was Trillium, whose production was essentially the same as last year. Surprising, given the opening of an additional 10-barrel brew house at the Fort Point restaurant and brewery which opened and began brewing in October. It's unclear whether Trillium has maxed out consumer demand with their taproom-only sales model, is suffering from a shortage of resources necessary to increase production, or has been overly focussed on expansion plans such as the indoor-outdoor taproom slated to open this summer near Fenway, Trillium Farm and Brewery in Connecticut, or the recently announced plan to move Canton operation to a custom built brewery and restaurant at the former Reebok campus across town.
Tops in growth among Massachusetts regional breweries was Tree House Brewing, up some 130 percent. One of just a handful of regional breweries listed among the nation's fastest growing by the BA, they produced an eye-popping 44,000 barrels in their first full year at their state-of-the-art facility in Charlton. What's more, they sold virtually all of it direct to the consumer at their brewery, making them the largest producing U.S. brewery without distribution. Among their ongoing projects are a 16,000 square foot expansion of the Charlton retail space and brewery, continued maturation of the barrel aging program at their former brewery in Monson, and the development of the Tree House Orchard & Farm Fermentory in Connecticut.
The other notable success story in 2018 was that of Night Shift Brewing, who increased its production by 62 percent and surpassed 30,000 barrels. Already at capacity on its 20-barrel system in Everett, most of its growth was through its contract brewing partnership with Isle Brewers Guild in Rhode Island which allowed them to expand their distribution footprint significantly. The recent addition of their Lovejoy Wharf location, continued traction within the light lager category, and further distribution expansion (most recently Connecticut) should lead to further growth within its craft beer division in 2019.
Two more that observed notable jumps were pioneer Berkshire Brewing (BBC) (up 19%) and partner brewing outfit Dorchester Brewing Company (DBC) (up 33%). BBC, one of the state's oldest breweries, was a bit of a surprise. Its growth (which includes contract brewing production) was in part due to a transition from mainly growler and bottle distribution to a high-tech canning line. DBC, which also produces its own house brews, saw an increased demand for its state-of-the-art partner/contract brewing services from clients like Connecticut's Fat Orange Cat, Massachusetts based Entitled Beer Company, and Maine's Lone Pine Brewing. DBC's recently announced expansion, which will include a second tasting room and new restaurant, as well as a greenhouse surrounded by a roof deck, should help them boost on premises sales further.
Others boasting growth included Lord Hobo (up 16%), Wormtown (up 15%), Jack's Abby (up 11%), and Wachusett (up 8%). All impressive numbers considering their size and the continued positive performance they've posted over the last several years. Have a look at the chart of the state's largest micro breweries below and then scroll down for further analysis.
Numbers in above charts are based on BA estimates and state tax records. In most instances they're confirmed by the brewery.
Micro Breweries: Familiar Faces and Fast Movers
Among the familiar micro breweries maintaining spots in the top 25 this year are Salem's Notch Brewing, Easthampton's Fort Hill Brewery, and Norwood's Castle Island Brewing, all of whom sell the vast majority of their beer through region-wide distribution. Notch, which started exclusively as a contract brand, still has the majority of its beer brewed at Two Roads Brewing in Connecticut. Barnstable-based Cape Cod Beer also sells most of its beer through distribution, but its footprint is focused on the Cape & Islands and much of its sales are seasonal. Joining them on the list again are Lynn's Bent Water Brewing and Somerville's Aeronaut Brewing, both of whom also enjoyed double-digit growth in 2018. Tailing off a bit but hanging on to their top 25 spots were Mayflower Brewing, the Beerworks brewpub chain, and Cambridge Brewing Company. Note that the production number for Beerworks includes all six of its locations, only three of which are still brewing on premises. Therefore, Cambridge Brewing Company is the state's largest individual Brewpub. Bumped from the list this year were Spencer Trappist Brewery, Down the Road Beer, and Somerville Brewing, aka Slumbrew.
Three breweries making their first appearance on the chart this year are Framingham's Exhibit 'A' Brewing, Brewmaster's Brewing Services, and fast-rising Lamplighter Brewing in Cambridge. After earning the distinction of being named one of the nation's best new breweries by Beer Advocate three years ago, Exhibit 'A' has continued its steady rise into the top 25. Brewmaster's, a busy but little-known production brewery in Williamsburg that produces beer for contract brands including Brewmaster Jack, Opa Opa, and White Lion, reported its totals for the first time. The most impressive newcomer was Lamplighter, who went from producing just under 2,900 barrels in 2017 to a whopping 5,600 this year. The 93-percent increase was likely a combination of increased brand recognition and expanded distribution, as well as the addition of a second taproom at their popular neighborhood brewery.
Two Breweries that fell just short of making our top 25 chart, but are likely to make it next year, are Mighty Squirrel and Greater Good Imperial Brewing. Both started out as contract breweries, with the former opening its own state-of-the-art brewery in Waltham last December and the latter doing likewise earlier last year. We aren't privy to Mighty Squirrel's production numbers from 2017, but at 3,000 barrels for 2018 it's likely they grew substantially. Now that they've got their own taproom and are gaining traction with wider distribution of their IPAs (previously they focused on protein-enhanced beer), we expect their 2019 totals to be even higher. That's precisely what happened with Worcester's Greater Good Imperials, who leaped from 600 barrels as a contract brand in 2017 to 3,100 at their own brewery last year. The astonishing 400 percent increase would have landed them on the BAs aforementioned Fastest Growing U.S. Breweries list if they had reported their numbers to the trade association. So far in 2019 they're tracking at 7,600 barrels for the year.
Our final chart below shows how the 629,000 barrels of beer brewed in Massachusetts during 2018 was divided among all of the state's craft brewers.
The Bay State's 10 regional brewers accounted for nearly two thirds of the state's total beer production in 2018, with the remaining portion coming from the other 168 micros & nanos.
The state's largest players, regional brewers, accounted for just over six out of every ten locally produced craft beers in Massachusetts last year. That number is up slightly from the year before. As more breweries continue to open (we estimate that another 20-plus could debut by year's end, pushing the total well past 200), it will be interesting to see how the above chart evolves in the coming years. Will it continue in a rich-get-richer way as it did in 2018? Or will the regionals fall more in line with the national trend toward leveling off? We'll be watching to see how it all unfolds.

West Chester PA -- The Melton Center is asking for support for an important community effort -- the restoration of the only outdoor community pool in the Borough of West Chester.
Once known as the West Chester Community Center, the pool is located at the Charles A. Melton Arts and Education Center on East Miner Street (The name was changed to honor one of West Chester's most notable leaders).
The pool was once a summer gathering place for the community, but has been out of service for about 15 years. To fund the restoration, community leaders have launched a capital campaign called #PoolTogether. The goal is to raise $250,000 to have the pool ready for the Melton Center Centennial Celebration in 2017.
For almost a century, the Center has been offering educational, recreational, and civic programs for the community. It continues to be an important resource for sports leagues, after-school programs, alternative schooling (in partnership with the West Chester Area School District), and many other community activities and family events.
The restoration of the pool will allow expansion of programs that will provide an important community resource of teaching life skills.
Donate online at #PoolTogether at generosity.com.
If we all #PoolTogether, the goal will be reached!

Governor McDonnell, end your silence
Here is the text of the letter from Equality Virginia:
The Honorable Robert F. McDonnell
Governor of Virginia
Dear Governor McDonnell:
I write to ask you to end your silence, and to act on behalf of all Virginians.
Since taking office in January, you have chosen not to support efforts to amend Virginia law to codify a state "policy" against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. You have explained your inaction and your "no position" on pending legislation saying that you have a "policy" against such discrimination in your office, even though that "policy" does not, and according to the opinion you once issued as Attorney General, cannot apply to all state employees or even to the employees of your own Cabinet members.
Now, a letter, signed on March 4, 2010 by the current Attorney General and sent to the state's colleges and universities, casts doubt, under your own legal analysis, about whether you can even enforce a "policy" of nondiscrimination within the Office of the Governor. Applying your joint legal theory, the Attorney General states that both an official policy enacted by a university board of visitors and an informal policy implemented by the president of an institution (your corollary) would be equally invalid in the absence of legislative endorsement.
If yours and the Attorney General's analysis of existing state law is correct (and we strongly question whether it is), this means that you would be acting without legal authority if, as Governor, you sought to enforce your "policy" against discrimination to protect any person in your office from adverse action based on his/her sexual orientation or gender identity. Thus, you cannot argue with any validity that you can, as Governor, protect anyone from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity without a change in the law.
The good news is that it is not too late for you to exert leadership to change the law, as many Virginians, our academic and business leaders, and the Richmond Times Dispatch and other editorial writers have urged you to do. Under the Constitution of Virginia and the legislative procedural rules, you may send a bill down for consideration at any time before the legislature adjourns sine die on Saturday, March 13, 2010.
Accordingly, Equality Virginia respectfully requests that you write the House of Delegates or the Senate requesting the immediate introduction of either or both of the following:
1) a bill to amend the nondiscrimination policy in Section 2.2-3900 B.1. of the Virginia Human Rights Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity (such legislation would moot the Attorney General's advice to the colleges); and
2) a bill identical to SB 66 governing nondiscrimination in the state workforce or HB 1116 governing nondiscrimination in state and local employment (such legislation would implement the nondiscrimination policy for public employees, including those in your office and at state universities and colleges).
Failure to take positive action during this legislative session to encourage enactment of a state policy against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity will be seen by the thousands of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender Virginians (and the many thousands more Virginians who count themselves among their families and allies) as confirming that your promise of a "Commonwealth of Opportunity" is a hollow one for them.
Repeating that you believe discrimination based on sexual orientation is wrong no longer carries any weight. The Attorney General's and your legal opinion makes crystal clear you believe (rightly or wrongly) that neither you nor any other state officer has authority to hold anyone accountable when they practice such discrimination.
Actions always speak louder than words. Virginians expect our leaders to lead. Going forward, your actions in this case, not your words, will determine the credibility of your promise of opportunity.

HIV/AIDS affects economic growth by reducing the availability of human capital. Without proper prevention, nutrition, health care and medicine that is available in developing countries, large numbers of people are developing AIDS.

People living with HIV/AIDS will not only be unable to work, but will also require significant medical care. The forecast is that this will probably cause a collapse of babies and societies in countries with a significant AIDS population. In some heavily infected areas, the epidemic has left behind many orphans, who are cared for by elderly grandparents.

The increased mortality in this region will result in a smaller skilled population and labor force. This smaller labor force will be predominantly young people, with reduced knowledge and work experience leading to reduced productivity. An increase in workers' time off to look after sick family members or for sick leave will also lower productivity. Increased mortality will also weaken the mechanisms that generate human capital and investment in people, through loss of income and the death of parents. As the epidemic progresses, the age profile of those infected will increase, though the peak is expected to stay within the working age population. HIV disproportionately infects and impacts on women, so those sectors employing large numbers of women e.g. education, may be disproportionately economically impacted by HIV

Effect on taxable population
By killing off mainly young adults, AIDS seriously weakens the taxable population, reducing the resources available for public expenditures such as education and health services not related to AIDS resulting in increasing pressure for the state's finances and slower growth of the economy. This results in a slower growth of the tax base, an effect that will be reinforced if there are growing expenditures on treating the sick, training (to replace sick workers), sick pay and caring for AIDS orphans. This is especially true if the sharp increase in adult mortality shifts the responsibility and blame from the family to the government in caring for these orphans.

On the level of the household, AIDS results in both the loss of income and increased spending on healthcare by the household. The income effects of this led to spending reduction as well as a substitution effect away from education and towards healthcare and funeral spending. A study in Côte d'Ivoire showed that households with an HIV/AIDS patient spent twice as much on medical expenses as other households.

With economic stimulus from the government, however, HIV/AIDS can be fought through the economy. With some money, HIV/AIDS patients will have to worry less about getting enough food and shelter and more about fighting their disease. However, if economic conditions aren't good, a person with HIV/AIDS may decide to become a sex trade worker to earn more money. As a result, more people become infected with HIV/AIDS.

Relationship to GDP
UNAIDS, WHO and the United Nations Development Programme have documented a correlation between the decreasing life expectancies and the lowering of gross national product in many African countries with prevalence rates of 10% or more. Indeed, since 1992 predictions that AIDS would slow economic growth in these countries have been published. The degree of impact depended on assumptions about the extent to which illness would be funded by savings and who would be infected.

Conclusions reached from models of the growth trajectories of 30 sub-Saharan economies over the period 1990–2025 were that the economic growth rates of these countries would be between 0.56 and 1.47% lower. The impact on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was less conclusive. However, in 2000, the rate of growth of Africa's per capita GDP was in fact reduced by 0.7% per year from 1990 to 1997 with a further 0.3% per year lower in countries also affected by malaria. The forecast now is that the growth of GDP for these countries will undergo a further reduction of between 0.5 and 2.6% per annum. However, these estimates may be an underestimate, as they do not look at the effects on output per capita.

Response in sub-Saharan Africa
Many governments in sub-Saharan Africa denied that there was a problem for years, and are only now starting to work towards solutions. Underfunding is a problem in all areas of HIV prevention when compared to even conservative estimates of the problems.

Recent research by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) has suggested that the private sector has begun to recognize the impact of HIV/AIDS on the bottom line, both directly and indirectly. It is estimated that a company can generate an average return of US$3 for every US$1 invested in employee health due to a reduced absenteeism, better productivity and reduction in employee turnover.
Indirectly there are also important implications on the supply chain. Many multi-national corporations (MNCs) have therefore gotten involved in HIV/AIDS initiatives of three main types: a community-based partnerships, supply chain support, and sector-based initiatives.

The launching of the world's first official HIV/AIDS Toolkit in Zimbabwe on October 3, 2006, is a product of collaborative work between the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, World Health Organization and the Southern Africa HIV/AIDS Information Dissemination Service. It is for the strengthening of people living with HIV/AIDS and nurses by minimal external support. The package, which is in form of eight modules focusing on basic facts about HIV and AIDS, was pre-tested in Zimbabwe in March 2006 to determine its adaptability. It disposes, among other things, categorized guidelines on clinical management, education and counseling of people with AIDS at community level.

Copenhagen Consensus
The Copenhagen Consensus is a project that seeks to establish priorities for advancing global welfare using methodologies based on the theory of welfare economics. The participants are all economists, with the focus of the project a rational prioritization based on economic analysis. The project is based on the contention that, in spite of the billions of dollars spent on global challenges by the United Nations, the governments of wealthy nations, foundations, charities, and non-governmental organizations, the money spent on problems such as malnutrition and climate change is not sufficient to meet many internationally agreed targets. The highest priority was assigned to implementing new measures to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS. The economists estimated that an investment of $27 billion could avert nearly 30 million new infections by 2010.

Compass Coffee opens in the former Georgetown Theater.
Ron Paul, CEO, chairman and co-founder of Eagle Bancorp, Inc., parent company of EagleBank, announced his immediate retirement due to health issues on March 21. In 1998, with others, Paul founded EagleBank, which held $8.4 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, 2018.
"I am very disappointed to have to make this decision, but I do not believe it would be fair to the Company, its employees, customers and shareholders when my health prevents me from devoting my full attention to helping them develop and prosper," Paul said in a statement from the corporation, which did not elaborate on Paul's health issues.
First diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of 26, Paul has had two kidney transplants. The bank named Norman Pozez, current vice chair, as his successor. In the meantime, Executive Vice President and COO Susan Riel, who has been with the bank for more than 20 years, is serving as interim president and CEO.
Active in philanthropy, Paul and his wife Joy opened the Ron & Joy Paul Kidney Center at the George Washington University Hospital four years ago.
Local chain Compass Coffee has finally opened in the former Georgetown Theater property at 1351 Wisconsin Ave. NW. Compass Coffee opened in Shaw in 2014 because two marines wanted "real good coffee." Founders Michael Haft and Harrison Suarez hail from the Washington area and served together in Afghanistan. Haft's family has run drugstores and bookstores.
The Jonathan Adler store which opened in Georgetown in 2012 will close at the end of Easter Sunday.
The maker and purveyor of ceramics, pillows, accessories and furniture — with a sophisticated design attitude — is located at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and N Street, across from Martin's Tavern.
The Adler whimsy and practicality was put on full display throughout the large store, which shows off a Washington bust of sorts and D.C. pillows. Designer and potter Jonathan Adler opened his stores — which will soon number one fewer than 17 — in the late 1990s.
Nikolas A. Mercado was named sales manager of Long and Foster Real Estate's Georgetown office at 1680 Wisconsin Ave. NW. He succeeds Theresa Nielson, who is now managing broker at Long and Foster's Bethesda Gateway office.

Q: TypeTest to overcome erasure with generic types in scala3 I am having problems understanding how TypeTests in scala3 can replace the use of TypeTag in scala 2. The usecase being able to match on a generic parameter like x: List[Int].
Concrete example I am trying to solve:
enum Foo :
  case Bar()
  case Baz()

case class Mod[T <: Foo](modFn: T => T)

def modifyBarsOrBaz(mod: Mod[_]) = mod match
  case barMod: Mod[Foo.Bar] => ???
  case bazMod: Mod[Foo.Baz] => ???

the compilation results (as expected) in the comiler warning(s)
the type test for Mod[Foo.Bar] cannot be checked at runtime and an unreachable case.
Now my question is: is this possible to do at all in scala3?
I was under the impression that I would somehow have to provide a TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.X]] for all X which are subclasses of the Foo enum.
But I am struggling to even implement those tests, as well as understanding what using parameter the modifyBarsOrBaz is required for this to work.
Thus I came up with the following (not working) solution:
def modifyBarsOrBaz[T <: Foo](mod: Mod[T])(using TypeTest[Any, Mod[T]]) = mod match
  case barMod: Mod[Foo.Bar] => ???
  case bazMod: Mod[Foo.Baz] => ???

and a naive tt implementation as such
val tt: TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.Bar]] =
  new TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.Bar]] :
    def unapply(x: Any): Option[x.type & Mod[Foo.Bar]] = x match
      case m: Mod[_] => ??? // what to do here? use a classtag on Mod?

I tried to search the web for answers, but since this is pretty new I was not lucky. Any hints?

A: The problem here is that a TypeTest[Any, Mod[T]] will be able to check if an Any is a Mod[T], not to check whether or not a Mod[T] is a Mod[Foo.Bar] or a Mod[Foo.Baz]. What you would need are TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.Bar] and TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.Baz]:
def modifyBarsOrBaz(mod: Mod[?])(using asBar: TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.Bar]], asBaz: TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.Baz]]) =
  mod match
    case asBar(barMod) => println("barMod")
    case asBaz(bazMod) => println("bazMod")

I don't know why a simple barMod: Mod[Foo.Bar] didn't work with a TypeTest[Any, Mod[Foo.Bar]] in scope, I'll come to that later.
However, you now have to actually implement those TypeTests yourself. Since the JVM doesn't have reification, you will have to store information about T in the Mod class. If you really want to keep Mod a single case class, you can do this:
type BarOrBaz[T <: Foo] <: String = T match {
  case Foo.Bar => "Bar"
  case Foo.Baz => "Baz"
}

case class Mod[T <: Foo](modFn: T => T, tag: BarOrBaz[T])

TypeTest instances for Bar and Baz can now be provided with an inline method:
import compiletime.constValue

inline given [T <: Foo]: TypeTest[Mod[?], Mod[T]] = new TypeTest:
  def unapply(mod: Mod[?]) = Option.when(mod.tag == constValue[BarOrBaz[T]])(mod.asInstanceOf[mod.type & Mod[T]])

modifyBarsOrBaz would be
def modifyBarsOrBaz(mod: Mod[?])(using asBar: TypeTest[Mod[Foo], Mod[Foo.Bar]], asBaz: TypeTest[Mod[Foo], Mod[Foo.Baz]]) = mod match
  case asBar(barMod) => println("barMod")
  case asBaz(bazMod) => println("bazMod")

For convenience, an inline apply method could be made:
object Mod:
  inline def apply[T <: Foo](modFn: T => T) = new Mod(modFn, constValue[BarOrBaz[T]])

And you could use it like this (Scastie):
modifyBarsOrBaz(Mod[Foo.Bar](bar => bar))  //barMod
modifyBarsOrBaz(Mod[Foo.Baz](baz => baz))  //bazMod

But really, the need for type tests such as this feels like a code smell to me. I'd suggest rethinking your design to work around it rather than use tags like this.

Udo Dirkschneider is a German heavy metal singer who's been in the music scene since the 1980s. Dirkschneider founded the legendary band Accept and although he has since left the band, e continues to perpetuate the band's legacy. He has also paved the way for other heavy metal bands, such as his own son's band Damaged. DIRKSCHNEIDER will be performing hit songs from his days with Accept for one final performance at The Bluebird this Monday.
August Burns Red combines the sounds of heavy metal with profound, relevant lyrics to create their unique sound. The band has produced chart-topping music since their genesis in 2003. Their newest album Found In Far Away Places has been Grammy-nominated and solidified the group's presence within their genre. Be sure to catch award-winning August Burns Red at The Ogden this Tuesday.
Mexican American DJ Deorro began spinning records at only 14-years-old. Since then, he has collaborated with music icons such as Steve Aoki, Diplo and Chris Brown. Deorro is known for his original spins and innovative sounds, which boosted him to stardom practically overnight. Deorro has quickly solidified his place in the EDM genre and proved he is not a show you'd want to miss.
John Paul White, formerly of The Civil Wars, will perform at The Bluebird on Thursday to promote his new album Beulah. White started out as a songwriter in Nashville before deciding to take a step into the spotlight. His lyrics reflect a moodier, sometimes dark, southern acoustic feel with a ton of soul. Be sure to catch him while he's in town to experience a truly intimate set by one of the south's most talented singer-songwriters.
Award-winning country artist, Josh Abbott, is on tour promoting his new album Front Row Seat. You might know him from his hit singles like "Oh, Tonight" or "She's Like Texas", but Abbott's new album is a totally different sound. Gritty, emotional, and intimate; the singer dives into his personal life to produce an honest and relatable set of songs. Catch Abbott and his band at Grizzly Rose to see first hand the singers vulnerability and talent.
Chart-topping rapper Machine Gun Kelly is bringing his rap game to The Fillmore this weekend. MGK, as he's commonly known, began his career while in high school, releasing several mixtapes which quickly gained popularity. The rapper is known for his spitfire lyrics and style – and is sure to put on a wild show.
Railroad Earth derives its name from a Jack Kerouac short story, and the band definitely does the reference to Kerouac justice. The jam band produces a hodgepodge of sounds – from americana to jazz to you name it. Railroad Earth is also known to put on legendary live improvisational shows. Don't try labeling their sound, because it won't work. Railroad Earth is a sound all in of itself with a live performance to match.

Who's not hot in the SEC heading into college football's Week 3
Mississippi State's defense: The Bulldogs were ranked 4th in the SEC against the run last year. However, all three starting linebackers are gone, including All-SEC talent Chris White. Their absence was felt last week as Auburn ran for 235 yards. Losing D-coordinator Manny Diaz doesn't help MSU's darkhorse dreams this season either.
Greg Childs: The Razorbacks' senior receiver had big aspirations this season, but he only has two catches for 29 yards and no scores as he recovers from a torn patellar tendon in 2010. He shouldn't be in a rush, because Arkansas' passing game looks lethal without him.
Kentucky's passing game: The Wildcats are only averaging 105.5 yards a game through the air after a couple of too-close-for-comfort wins against lesser teams. Morgan Newton is only completing 44.4 percent of his passes and he's thrown 4 INTs. However, he's not getting much help. Junior La'Rod King has more than double the receiving yards of any other wideout.


A California registered nurse (R.N.) was recently convicted of alcohol-related reckless driving after being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI).The conviction was a first-time offense, and there was no evidence of alcohol abuse or dependence. Nevertheless, the Board of Registered Nursing demanded that the nurse submit to a psychological evaluation, physical evaluation, random urine tests, and substance abuse rehabilitation.Since there was no evidence of any alcohol problem, we–as administrative law attorneys–believed that the conditions demanded by the Board were unreasonable. In California administrative law, a criminal conviction is not grounds for discipline unless it is substantially related to the qualifications, functions, and duties of the profession. See Business and Professions Code section 490 (b). We went to an administrative hearing before a California administrative law judge (ALJ) with the Office of Administrative Hearings and argued that the conviction was not "substantially related."The ALJ agreed and dismissed two counts of the Accusation (Business and Professions Code sections 490 (a) and 2761 (f)), however, the ALJ imposed probation (without alcohol/substance abuse terms) based on a Nursing Practice Act statute which defines unprofessional conduct to include the dangerous use of alcohol or the conviction of a crime involving consumption of alcohol (Business and Professions Code sections 2762 (b) and (c)). We believe this was an error because Business and Professions Code section 490 (b) limits agency disciplinary statutes by imposing the "substantial relationship" limitation (so does the Constitution). We appealed the California administrative law case to the San Francisco Superior Court by writ of administrative mandate (mandamus).We also sought attorney's fees from the Board of Registered Nursing under the Carpenter-Katz Small Business Equal Access to Justice Act of 1981 (Code Civ. Proc. § 1028.5), which provides for the award of attorney's fees and expenses up to $7,500 to a prevailing licensee if "the action of the agency was undertaken without substantial justification . . . ." Code Civ. Proc. § 1028.5 (a). The San Francisco Superior Court agreed with our interpretation of Section 490 (b).The Court also decided that the Board's decision violated the nurse's right to due process and equal protection because a Medical Board disciplinary statute defines unprofessional conduct to require more than one alcohol-related misdemeanor conviction.The Court ordered the Board of Registered Nursing to set aside its decision and to pay attorney's fees to the nurse in the amount of $7,500. The Board of Registered Nursing has complied with the Court's decision, and it declined its right to appeal the decision.The Board also removed reference to the accusation from it website, which publishes pending disciplinary actions.

BODMER, Karl (1809-1893)
Offering of the Mandan Indians
[Vig. 14] [Leipzig: Schmidt and Guenther, 1922]. Aquatint engraving by L. Weber after Bodmer. Sheet size: 12 3/4 x 16 inches.
The Weber version of this image, from the scarce Leipzig edition printed from the original copper-plates. Limited in number, the prints from the Leipzig edition are more scarce than, and compare favorably to, the first edition. (David C. Hunt, "Karl Bodmer and the American Frontier," Imprint/Spring 85, p.18)
This title was printed from two separate plates: one by Himely with heavy use of aquatint and three horseman to the left of the mid-ground and no birds, and a second by L. Weber with light use of aquatint, particularly in the foreground, no horsemen and numerous birds. Bodmer painted this potent scene of a Mandan skull shrine in November of 1833, shortly before the onset of winter. The shrine was located near the burial ground of Mih-Tutta-Hang-Kusch, and was related to the Mandan beliefs regarding the human body after death and was used as a fasting ground for those seeking supernatural powers. Bodmer and Prince Maximilian overwintered at Fort Clark, between the Knife and Heart Rivers in the territory of the Mandans and the Hidatsas, and made full use of their time to record in detail the life, history and beliefs of the Indian Tribes around them.
Karl Bodmer's images show great versatility and technical virtuosity and give us a uniquely accomplished and detailed picture of a previously little understood (and soon to vanish) way of life. Swiss-born Bodmer was engaged by Prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867) specifically to provide a record of his travels in North America, principally among the Plains Indians. In the company of David Dreidoppel (Prince Maximilian's servant and hunting companion), their travels in North America were to last from 1832 to 1834. Well-armed with information and advice, the party finally left St.Louis, on the most important stage of their travels, aboard the steamer Yellow Stone on April 10 1833. They proceeded up the treacherous Missouri River along the line of forts established by the American Fur Company. At Bellevue they encountered their first Indians, then went on to make contact with the Sioux tribe, learning of and recording their little known ceremonial dances and powerful pride and dignity. Transferring from the Yellow Stone to another steamer, the Assiniboin, they continued to Fort Clark, visiting there the Mandan, Mintari and Crow tribes, then the Assiniboins at Fort Union, the main base of the American Fur Company. On a necessarily much smaller vessel they journeyed through the extraordinary geological scenery of that section of the Missouri to Fort Mackenzie in Montana, establishing a cautious friendship with the fearsome Blackfeet. From this, the westernmost point reached, it was considered too dangerous to continue and the return journey downstream began. The winter brought its own difficulties and discomforts, but Bodmer was still able to execute numerous studies of villages, dances and especially the people, who were often both intrigued and delighted by his work. The portraits are particularly notable for their capturing of individual personalities, as well as forming a primary account of what were to become virtually lost cultures.

Home / Södra commences biofuel production
Södra commences biofuel production
Södra will invest more than SEK 100 million in the production of biomethanol, a sustainable fuel from forest raw material.
Södra timber truck Source: Södra
The project will commence in autumn 2017 and is scheduled to be ready for operation by spring 2019.
The aim is to produce 5,000 tonnes of biomethanol per year at the new facility to be situated at Södra's pulp mill at Mönsterås. The long-term aim is to further increase production for passenger, truck and ship transport.
"More and more people are realising why we need to switch to fossil-free alternatives, but products must also move forward. We have access to the best and most renewable raw material available – forests. We also have the industrial expertise required for these types of complex and innovative products," said Catrin Gustavsson, Senior Vice President of Innovation and New Business at Södra.
The biomethanol will be made from the crude methanol produced by the manufacturing process at Södra's pulp mill. It will be part of the circular process that already exists at Södra's mills, in which all parts of the forest raw material are used for the best possible effect. The first delivery will reach the market in spring 2019.
"If Sweden is to achieve the fossil-free climate targets, there must be viable alternatives to the fossil-fuel products that are currently available. This will be a major milestone in that development. It's also in line with Södra's own strategy to be totally fossil-free by 2030," said Henrik Brodin, Business Developer for fuels at Södra.

Ste. Catherine and St. Nicolas are villages and districts in the Department of the Pas-de-Calais, adjoining the city of Arras on the north side. Ste. Catherine lying to the west, and St. Nicolas to the east of the N37 road to La Targette and Souchez.
St. Nicolas British Cemetery lies along a footpath to the south of the Rue D'Enfer, which joins the road to Roclincourt.
From March 1916 to the Armistice, the village of St. Nicolas was occupied by Commonwealth forces and for much of that time it was within the range of German artillery fire. The cemetery was started in March 1917 and used by the divisions and field ambulances stationed there until October 1918.
St Nicolas British Cemetery contains 364 First World War burials.

Q: Print all content of a paged post is it possible to print a complete post that has a number of pages?
I'm working on a website that the client would like users to be able to print an article. The problem I have right now is when an article has a number of pages, by using WordPress's <!--nextpage-->.
Say an article has the content split into 3 pages. Is there a way when printing the page to have all the content from those 3 pages displayed?
Thanks in advance for any help.

A: One way to acheive this is to create a filter on the_content();
This will completely stop the <!--nextpage--> shortcode from working wherever the_content(); is called in your theme - i.e. on all posts
You can add the filter by adding this to your functions file:
function remove_page_144242($content){
    global $post;
    // Accesses the post content while unformatted
    $content = $post->post_content;
    // Find the nextpage shortcode
    $find = '<!--nextpage-->';
    //Replace it with nothing
    $replace = '';
    // Perform the replace
    $content = str_ireplace($find,$replace,$content);
    // Return the final content
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'remove_page_144242', 1);

If you're looking for a solution on a single post basis or on a template then you can do something similar. By first pulling back the unformatted content and doing a replace. Something like this could possibly be placed in template file specifically for a post
// (While in the loop)
// Make sure we can access $post
global $post;
// Access the post content unformatted
$content = $post->post_content;
// Find the nextpage shortcode
$find = '<!--nextpage-->';
//Replace it with nothing
$replace = '';
// Perform the replace
$content = str_ireplace($find,$replace,$content);
// Echo the final result
echo $content;

EDIT: Apologies the last approach will not perform actions such as shortcodes in the content

Sometimes, students need a break. For seniors, this comes in the form of senior ditch day, a day seniors skip their classes. On this day, some students go on small excursions with their friends, while others simply sleep in.
This year, senior ditch day will take place on Monday, April 30. While the officers typically plan this tradition by placing senior ditch day after AP testing dates and before senior finals, the class officers faced some complications this year because AP exams lead right into senior finals. As a result, senior class president Dhruv Parikh and the other 2018 class officers have to take other factors into account.
"We were looking [towards the] last day of AP testing because not many people take tests then," Parikh said. "However, this year, there's AP Macroeconomics on that day, which I know a lot of people are going to be taking. We had to really [plan around] major events like voter registration."

Math teacher Joe Kim supports senior ditch day because the class officers plan the day strategically, preventing conflicts with important exams or events.
"They should have a day off, and I'm okay with that," Kim said. "If senior ditch day was on a day that was really important, then I would have a problem, but they are responsible about picking a day that is not conflicting with something."
Despite the challenges, the officers look forward to senior ditch day, as it is a tradition. Although the absence is unexcused, Parikh explained how students nevertheless enjoy the break.
"It's the feeling of freedom because it's the end of senior year. We've gone through MVHS, we've gone through everything," Parikh said. "Most [college] admissions are probably out by then. We just want that one day to go out and do stuff with friends."
In addition to being able to have fun with friends, senior Stacy Park believes that seniors are more inclined to ditch due to the high participation.
"Since everyone is doing it, more people are inclined to ditch," Park said. "It's kind of like mob mentality."
Parikh, on the other hand, believes that many students choose to participate because of the less serious consequences. Some teachers who know about the date make it easier for seniors to skip class.
"A majority of students here participate," Parikh said. "There's no culture of actually ditching class here, so this is the one day where people can go out [and] actually do something without as many repercussions."
Other teachers, however, do not take the event into consideration and plan tests or other assignments on senior ditch day. As a result, many come to school to take an exam, then leave.
"I think it's fine because [the seniors] are done. Especially for a school like MVHS where there's so much pressure. It's always work, work, work.""
"Teachers know that some seniors are falling behind on their grades, and they want to help them, so they're like, 'Why waste class time when they can just take a test [during senior ditch day]?'" Parikh said.
Math teacher Colin Anderson is among the teachers who give tests on senior ditch day. He does not believe that seniors have an excuse for skipping class on a test date just because it is senior ditch day.
"I will continue with my schedule and I will have the quiz on Monday," Anderson said. "If it's an unexcused absence, you cannot make that up and you will just get a zero on that assignment. Students are allowed to drop one quiz, so that might be the one that they drop."
Despite the fact that some teachers do not support seniors ditching class, Kim says that senior ditch day is a part of the high school experience.
"I think it's fine because [the seniors] are done," Kim said. "Especially for a school like MVHS where there's so much pressure. It's always work, work, work. They should just enjoy the day off and have some fun."
Similarly, senior Michelle Chen believes that teachers should not intentionally assign tests on senior ditch day. To her, senior ditch day is an end of the year reward to all of the seniors for working hard throughout their high school career.
"It's really only about an hour per class that we would be missing, and I think seniors deserve to miss 50 minutes of class for having made it this far," Chen said. "I hope our teachers won't be assigning any tests this year. Fingers crossed."
