School carnivals have been a tradition among both parents and children for years because it is an event which encourages the entire family to attend and enjoy. However, whilst attending such a carnival may be the highlight of many youngsters life. One should keep in mind that planning such an event is no easy task instead planning and executing a successful school carnival may require both creative planning skills and time. But whilst it may sound easy enough this is a complex task therefore the following article would strive to assist any individual who is planning on embarking a similar journey by advising them on the steps that they should take.
While carnivals are ordinarily hosted outdoors one cannot immediately decide on an outdoor location because one has to consider the time of the year and the weather before arriving at such a decision. Therefore if it unlikely for them to be exposed to adverse weather conditions one can either utilize the grounds that belong to the school or some out outdoor park but for an indoor event it is advisable to utilize the school's auditorium or even to book an event hall just for this event.
It is ordinarily expected for one to work within a limited budget when planning such an event. However, one can always attempt to expand this budget by asking the parents to donate and by borrowing carnival games. Whilst it may not be possible for one to borrow the big carnival games one can always manage to borrow a photo booth Singapore either from a parent or from a local store owner.
Interactive games are the focal point of any carnival therefore one can opt for the traditional games that are much beloved by children such as ring toss, fish cup, soda toss etc. But one is not required to restrict themselves to only these activities instead one can also recruit a parent to utilize party balloons Singapore to create animals which can then be sold to children for a profit. Furthermore, one can even arrange for a little show with a magician by recruiting a family member who moonlights as a magician. Thereafter, one can host a small show which would contain an entrance fee.
We understand that it is no easy task to be given the responsibility to plan a carnival, it can be an extremely overwhelming and stressful task. Therefore, one should make sure to follow the aforementioned guide and also to start planning ahead of time in order to delay the last minute stress that is one bound to suffer.

ECTRIMS 2021 – Day 3 Keep us moving – from Patient Perspectives to Rehabilitation
The themes of ECTRIMS Day 3 gave the audience a perspective and a view into the future. Discussed topics included sensors, modern therapy options and rehabilitation apps with the key learning of the day: Exercise can improve progression.
Let's Move the World of MS to Do More Exercise!
Neurorehabilitation is the most important issue. It is a very complex process with the aim to aid recovery from a nervous system injury like MS. It should help to minimize or compensate for any functional alterations from that disease or health issue. In the Scientific Session 15 experts discussed this in a very interesting way and the general outcome of the different lectures in short: Exercise does help people with MS, not only when it comes to relapse or more symptoms, it should be started as early as possible to prevent and slow down progression. So, the step from care to prevention is essential.
New or Known? Do You Know Motor Imagery (MI)?
Another part of neurorehabilitation is motor imagery (MI). It is not very widely known in the community and patients or physiotherapists, but it's a very interesting rehabilitation technique and has the potential to improve measures of walking speed and distance, also fatigue. Let us explain it as Dr. Barbara Seebacher did. Athletes imagine what they want to reach when they compete. Running in a specific time frame or jumping far. They work with their mental health and MI, helping them to reach their goals easier. A very promising technique, but it must be explained to patients and physiotherapists.
Is It All About the Gut?
People living with MS have been discussing this for a long time now: Does the gut microbiome influence MS? Prof. Anne-Katrin Proebstel presented some very interesting findings in her intervention under the theme "Gut microbiome and brain inflammation". The theme has been discussed for more than 10 years now and researchers started to dive more intensively into the area of microbiomes. New studies showed that there is evidence for a link between distinct microbiota, disease activity, and progression. Dietary interventions and immunomodulatory treatments are strong to modulate neuroinflammation through gut microbiota alterations. There is more data and more mechanistic insights needed, into how gut microbiota modulate neuroinflammation to develop new therapies for this.
Still Many Unanswered Questions in Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS)
When it comes to Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS) there are many open questions. In the poster section, Poster P001 talks about MRI activity versus relapses as markers of disease activity in SPMS: Data from real-world and pivotal clinical studies. A pivotal clinical trial is a typical Phase III trial done in a very long time to demonstrate or confirm the efficacy and safety of a treatment.
In the mentioned study the objective was to evaluate the contribution of the MRI activity and relapses in defining disease activity in SPMS by analyzing real-world data. It was important to understand if an active SPMS (aSPMS) and a non-active SPMS (naSPMS) are mutually exclusive groups. The base for this study were the Adelphie Real-World MS Disease-Specific Program and the EXPAND Study.
The result: in both studies, the activity in the MRI appears to be a more sensitive measure of disease activity versus relapses. Even after 2 years of no relapse and no MRI activity, the disease activity returned in >50% of previously "non-active" patients on placebo in EXPAND. Also reduced MRI monitoring in naSPMS patients in the real world is a concern that decreases the chance to detect and treat the patients.
Do Lesions in the Brain Help to Predict Long-term Disability?
A presentation called "Cortical lesions at diagnosis predict cognitive impairment in MS: a 20-follow-up study" by Stefano Ziccardi PhD (IT) showed in the Scientific Session 5: IMSCOGS (International MS Cognition Society), that to measure lesions in the cortex (outer covering of the surface of the cerebral hemispheres in the brain) also called: CL's or cortical lesions, at diagnosis, could predict the long-term risk of cognitive impairment. Data from 170 People living with MS were assessed over 19 years. 41% of the people had no cortical lesions (CL) at the diagnosis. 19% had one or two and 40% had three or more CLs. At the end of the follow-up, 50% of the people with MS met the criteria for cognitive impairment, 25% had mild cognitive impairment, the other 25% had severe impairment.
The analysis showed that patients who probably developed severe cognitive impairment had more substantial lesions when they were diagnosed. It can be concluded that the number of cortical lesions at MS diagnosis accurately discriminates between the presence of the absence of cognitive impairment after 20 years with MS – Ziccardi argued. At last, he added that "this should be considered as a predictive marker of a long-term cognitive impairment".
We heard a lot about cognition during the last few days. It is important to train your brain, and people with MS have been doing that for a long time with apps or other tests. A study in Ireland showed that despite the high importance of cognitive care there is very little currently done to address the cognitive challenge faced by people with MS in Ireland. Something similar was mentioned from Prof. Jeremy Hobart in one of the first sessions on Wednesday. There is a big need in more cognitive care but there is no capacity to do it in many countries.
Other summaries
Did you miss the world's largest meeting dedicated to the understanding and treatment of MS? This year's digital congress had almost 6,800 participants – but it isn't too late for you to register for ECTRIMS 2021! Registration will be open until 4 January 2022 at 23:59 CEST. Below we've collected some extra summaries of the congress if you'd like to dig deeper into what was discussed during the 3-day congress.
MStranslate is an online science communication initiative from Australia, providing accurate, unbiased, easy to understand information about multiple sclerosis research and news worldwide. Their aim is to remove the complexity of the science to make it easily accessible for every member of the MS community. As every year, they have been covering ECTRIMS live on Twitter and also developed a short summary video covering the latest research outcomes presented during day 3. You can watch their summary and follow their channel here:
ECTRIMS itself has also developed clickable PDF congress reports, where you can quickly navigate and read the summaries of certain sessions within the four topics: Clinical, Pathogenesis, Imaging and Non-Imaging and Biomarkers /Translational Therapy. Check out the official ECTRIMS Congress Report Day 3 – 15 October here!
That's a Wrap: See You in 2022 in Amsterdam
ECTRIMS 2021 was full of information and a real valuable exchange for all participants. However, there is still a lot to do for all researchers, doctors, and last, but not least, for patients. Because of what we have seen, people living with MS can do a lot to take care of themselves.
We would like to use this opportunity to congratulate the winners of the poster awards Paolo Preziosa, Mattias Bronge, Zoë Yolanthe Germieke, Jocelyn van Lierop, Izanne Roos and Marta Pengo.
We also extend our congratulations to the organizer for a successful event and we would like to extend our gratitude to the Board of ECRIMS for providing 10 free passes for the European MS patient community. We are looking forward to next year, when ECTRIMS2022 will hopefully take place in Amsterdam on October 26 – 28.

L'Oréal says travel retail boom creates 'sixth continent'
PARIS, France - French cosmetics giant L'Oréal has created a new travel retail division to make the most of a 17-billion-euro ($23 billion) market that is booming as a new, moneyed middle class emerges from China to Brazil.
L'Oréal to put focus on travel retail | Source: AFP
L'Oréal said the democratization of travel had created a new "sixth continent" of consumers ready to buy items such as high-end cosmetics during their journeys.
Sales of goods in airports, cruise ships and duty-free shops grew 9 percent last year to 55.8 billion euros and are set to reach more than 100 billion euros in the next ten years, according to market research firm Institut Generation.
Cosmetics such as perfume, skin creams and make-up were the biggest category, accounting for around 30 percent of travel retail revenue last year, or 17 billion euros.
L'Oréal dominated the travel retail market in 2012, with a market share of 21.6 percent, Institut Generation said.
Rivals are pushing hard to compete. The travel retail arm of luxury giant LVMH (LVMH.PA), whose Dior, Guerlain and Givenchy cosmetics products vie with L'Oréal's luxury brands, has been the fastest growing of all the group's businesses.
"This market, present around the world, could be considered as a 'sixth continent'," L'Oréal Chief Executive Jean-Paul Agon said in a statement on Thursday. "L'Oréal has high ambition for the future of the channel."
The new division will oversee the sale to travellers of L'Oréal's luxury products such as Lancome creams and Yves Saint Laurent make-up as well as brands such as La Roche Posay and L'Oréal creams and Kerastase shampoo.
Sales from LVMH's DFS travel retail network, which include Sephora cosmetics shops, another popular tourist destination, saw like-for-like growth of 19 percent in the nine months to September 30.
The boost included contributions from LVMH's new DFS concessions in Hong Kong.
In comparison, sales of LVMH's fashion and leather goods rose by only 4 percent during the period.


I in fact loved that the product has safety approvals: ul, cul, ce, cb, fcc class b, t Ü v, ccc, c-tick. Part Number PPCMK3S600. These modular power supply units comes in white.

You will be able to access your child's grade online anytime at the Parent Student Connect.
Course Description: Course Description: Pre-AP Chemistry is a first year honors course. It is designed to prepare students for college chemistry and/or AP Chemistry. Since it is an honors level course, students are expected to have good study habits, note-taking skills, and math skills.
Teaching procedures: Students will be given homework at daily to introduce or reinforce concepts learned in class. Quizzes will be administered on regular bases to encourage good study habits and to assess the student's grasp of the material. Students will apply concepts learned through laboratory exercises and daily class-work. The materials will be presented by lecture, discovery, and discussion.
All tests and quizzes will be based on lecture material, lab work, homework, and class-work. Students are encouraged to read the textbook material but the textbook is used only as a supplementary source for the content material.
1) Be respectful – to the teacher, yourself, and others.
5) Be cooperative – with classmates, group members, teacher, etc.
Course Content: The following units will be covered in each course. Objectives for each unit will be provided at the start of each unit.

Online homework as well as handout will be given on a regular basis for each unit. .
Lab clean-up will immediately follow completion of lab, and will be completed by the student. If a student misses a lab, it is the student's responsibility for making up the lab immediately upon their return to school.
If absent with an approved excuse, the assignment will be due the very next day. If absent and unexcused, you will receive a 0 for that assignment. It is YOUR responsibility to get your make-up work as soon as you return. Quizzes & tests will be made up after school hours the day the student returns to class.
Note: There is NO extra credit in this class.
Bottled water is allowed only if it has a lid and in the classroom area, not in the lab area. No other drinks are allowed in the classroom, especially cans. And please throw away your bottles, and clean up after yourself, when you are finished. Food is not allowed at all in the room.
BYOD will follow school policy and classroom policy otherwise the device should be kept in your backpacks in the back of the room.
Communication between the teacher, student, and parents is extremely important in order for us to achieve a successful school year.
Pre-AP chemistry is a fast-paced-math driven, challenging course for those students who can consistently work hard, pick up ideas quickly, and manage their time effectively. You will need to keep yourself on task, make certain you understand each day's ideas before you leave the classroom, and work on chemistry every day. Never tell yourself "I don't have chemistry homework." You may have a day where there is nothing due the next day, but you always have your book to read, textbook chapters to review gpb.org/chemistry/physics. Success in Pre-AP chemistry certainly requires intelligence, but perseverance and consistent effort are requirements as well.
Students and parents keep this copy!


Desteria Plus | Season 2 Release, F-Top Winners, Purge, and more!
Discussion in 'Desteria Announcements' started by Omega, Mar 30, 2019.
It's finally time! Our first reset since the introduction of our new 10 week seasons, so exciting! That being said, we'll be going over F-Top winners, Purge winners, and a few changes that are coming alongside Season 2. Let's get right into it.
After the dust settles, only a few remain standing after the 24 hour Purge. These are your winners. Users should have their #Purge titles within 24 hours of this post.
Just like last time, I'll be giving everyone who participated rewards regardless of apparent alt-farming because then it just becomes an endless argument as to why I didn't punish everyone who did it - however we will be working towards trying to get better protocols in place to sort out alt-killers.
Just as clarification for how F-Top will be calculated, we will be taking F-Top every 2.5 weeks for a total of 4 rewards over the course of 10 weeks. A total value of $500 (for F-Top #1), $260 (for F-Top #2), or $100 (for F-Top #3). At the very end, whoever wins the last F-Top value will be considered the all-time winner, and will be asked to provide the list of people they wish to receive title and an aura (based on their member list taken at the time of F-Top Recording). Second and Third place EOTW winners (for each realm) will also receive their respective auras, but no title.
With all that said, lets announce the final Season 1 F-Top Winners! All rewards have been sent to the leader's /mail in-game.
You won a $125 gift card code!
You won a gold aura!
You won a special title!
You won a $65 gift card code!
You won a silver aura!
You won a $25 gift card code!
You won a bronze aura!
In other news, you might have noticed a few changes with the economy and other commands, so I'll do my best to encompass all those changes within this section.
Added Spiders and Cave Spawner values so they account for F-Top.
Diorite is sellable in /shop for $0.75 each.
Granite is sellable in /shop for $0.75 each.
Gravel is sellable in /shop for $0.05 each.
Sand is sellable in /shop for $0.05 each.
Red Sand is sellable in /shop for $0.05 each.
Sandstone is sellable in /shop for $1.56 each.
Blaze Powder is sellable in /shop for $10 each.
Removed Ghast Tear as a sellable item.
Removed Slimeball as a sellable item.
Decreased Beacon's price from $750,000 to $600,000.
Decreased Creeper Egg's price from $250,000 to $150,000.
Decreased Obsidian's price from $12,000/stack to $8,000/stack.
Increased String's sell price from $3 to $5 each.
Increased Spider Eye's sell price from $3.75 to $7.50 each.
Increased Potato's price from $2.50 to $4 each.
Increased Cooked Potato's price from $1.25 to $10 each.
Increased Carrot's sell price from $2.50 to $4 each.
Increased Nether Wart's sell price from $4.06 to $8 each.
Increased Sugar Cane's sell price from $3.25 to $5 each.
Increased Cactus' sell price from $2.50 to $3 each.
Increased Pumpkin's sell price from $2.50 to $6 each.
Increased Wheat's sell price from $5 to $10 each.
Changed Melon Blocks to Melon Slices in the /shop.
Set Melon Slice's sell price to $1.20 each.
On top of all these economy changes, we made a few other changes that I want to point out as well.
Reworked all the ranks on all realms so they are consistent across the board (meaning new Titans on Caden will no longer come with Faction Fly) - however if you had Faction Fly included in your Titan rank, you should have been grandfathered into that perk. Again, this change only affects Caden players.
/wild is now accessed by simply jumping down from the other end of spawn - so watch out! Other warps can be accessed by right-clicking on the "Navigator" NPC (first one on your left) at /spawn.
Dragon Drops can be accessed by talking to the Navigator NPC! Make sure you stay up to date on when those drops are happening as they'll frequently occurring randomly every 15-45 minutes.
Check out the new [Scout] donator rank for an entry-level rank for those on a tight budget!
Rules got overhauled, so please take some time to check it out again! Will be updating them all and noting down what has changed before the end of the day.
There were a lot of changes, so unfortunately I don't believe I've managed to encompass everything, but it's a sizable chunk and I hope it helps out in terms of understanding what all has changed. Thank you all again for all your support and help!
Ohdonkeh merge with puffball but doesn't get DQ? Raidalerts gets "warned" but never messaged for warnings and get DQ. Beters insides raidalerts and gives spawners to Ohdonkeh? Nothing happens Damn GG!
Puffball merged with Ohdonkeh days before reset. Ohdonkeh had spawners inside obby majority of the time yet RaidAlerts get dq for? I'd like to here a response from management about this as merging wasn't allowed near the end of the reset.
Good map folks, lets hope this season is even better.
We put in weeks for work. Just to get warned for obbying spawners and get DQ?
When beters insided us and gave his spawners to Ohdonkeh. They didnt get DQ? but we get DQ for a warning that was never told to us??
Whine when rules are enforced, whine when rules aren't enforced. I. Am. So. Proud. Of. This. Community.
Better luck next map RaidAlerts and Pirates.

Sports > Washington NFL team renamed Red Tails'. It might be true Tuskegee Airmen have mixed feelings about that
Washington NFL team renamed Red Tails'. It might be true Tuskegee Airmen have mixed feelings about that
If Lt. Col. Harold Brown, a former military pilots in America African Americans who fly with the famous all-black Tuskegee Airmen during World War II, would be in favor of Washington, DC, the NFL team changes its name Washington Red Tails? The nickname, which flew by the Tuskegee Airmen comes from painted surfaces me were as a possible solution to the team, looking for a name-and in this corner, at least floated the idea would find a lot of support. "Absolutely," said Brown, 95, from his home in Ohio, United States. Brown is one of nine drivers Tuskegee survivors flying in combat. "Thinking in some selfish way in terms of our heritage, we are short of drivers," says Brown. "Wait a few years, that would be the end of us. I do not know to keep a better way of life these names, as a right to put a name behind Washington '." Monday' after decades of pressure, announced Washington officially the NFL organization that have the name Redskins retirement. The owner Daniel Snyder team had long conversations resisted changing the name, the denigration of Native Americans used. In 2013, Snyder told USA Today that would change the team nickname "never". ( "You can use caps," he said.) But, as the United States provides its racist history after the death of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, the movement of the names gained unstoppable landfill momentum: FedEx, for example, He has threatened to pull his name out of the stadium the team. Well, in a statement, the team says Snyder and coach Ron Rivera work "hand in hand to develop that enhance the reputation of our proud, tradition-rich franchises and inspire our sponsors, fans and the community for the next 100 a new name and design approach. years "as fans and other observers, the possibilities for the new name Mull, has become the" 'idea won for doing a favor: in a survey of Yahoo, 28% of respondents said "Red Tails favorite Redtails" top vote-getter on the warrior was, Hogs, General and others. After a betting site, "Redtails" are the odd on favorites, have 3 to the first fans already prevail with a convincing helmet and logo designs come. There's a lot on Red Tails pleasure. Naming a team based in the nation's capital, after a group of black war hero pioneers racial awakening seems to fit the spirit of this time. "If the most appropriate time to do so, in light of what is happening in the country," said Brown, a native of Minneapolis. "Do you know where my vote goes." In a statement, dedicated to Tuskegee Airmen Inc., an Alabama-based non-profit, the results of blacks veterans and the introduction of young people to career opportunities honor in aeronautics, space and transport, said that the organization "would be excellent and work satisfactorily "" should be during and after the process adopted this name. " The Washington team among the surviving airmen, but enjoys the renaming not universal support. "I'm not sure that they are worthy of the name Red Tail" Lt. Col. James Harvey, 97, he wrote in an e-mail. "I do not win that many games and many of the players have an attitude … Poor. But it's not my call. Just as I feel right now." When reached by time, two other surviving Tuskegee Airmen Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson , 98, and Lieutenant Colonel George Hardy, 95 said they continue to form their opinion on it. A third, Brigadier General Charles McGee, 100, declined to comment. Get your fix history in one place: you sign up for the weekly newsletter TIME story really a Red Tails nickname for the opportunities of the Washington franchise some potential drawbacks to the Tuskegee Airmen. It would be the Airmen want to be mixed at best be associated with a record of racial equality with the NFL, an organization? In a league where 70% of the players are black people, only 3 of 30 head coach – 10% – are blacks. Can not appointed a championship with a franchise in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen, but that training not offered to Colin Kaepernick after leading peaceful protests against racial injustice during the national anthem, they are accused of paying lip service to equality? Other concerns are perhaps less overweight. During a road game in Philadelphia in December, for example, the player Red Tails would not exactly WWII hero feel his tribute. "If you play a game, half of the fans in Rangen, diese cursed Red Tails'werden say," said Hardy, the 21 combat missions in World War II flew 45 combat missions over Korea in 1950 and 70 more during Vietnam War- through laughter. On the other hand, could the nickname of an NFL team to give an opportunity for teaching. Brown, who during his mission 30.en in World War II and taken as prisoners of war shot down for two months, said that when he was able to talk to Snyder, would educate them on the true story of airmen Washington owner. "The whole story of the Tuskegee Airmen constantly turn the system around constantly fighting," he says. "People came with a thousand and one ways, so we should not be pilots. It 'been obstacle after obstacle after obstacle." Brown said he remembers, as African-American, it is not wise was enough to be a pilot a 'idea that he says has given motivation to prove them wrong. After his military career, he worked for years in academia and as an educational consultant in Columbus, Ohio area, earning a Ph.D. Along the way, he became a fan of the Cleveland Browns. "I say, go get em, Browns'," he says. But if Washington is the Red Tails, which will change its membership rapidly. "Nobody does not stop me to a fan in Washington," he says. In 2007 Tuskegee Airmen Congressional Gold Medal was awarded one of the highest awards in the country. "It 's been really great," says Brown. But the name Red Tails, he says, "would be almost the same. The only bad news is, I just want a couple of old guys who still lived it. It is not by chance that believe all these good things. I can not believe that a best way to honor the Tuskegee Airmen as a professional ball club to call on us. "Brown argued that the Red Tails speaks the name of the American potential. "This is the old American history, starting from the bottom and move up," he says. "We really embody what this great country. Even with all this chaos, which is still the largest country in the world. It would be to trade for anything. We have lived the American dream."

Q: Null coalescing operator on decimal and decimal I'm facing the following error while applying a null coalescing operator.
private decimal _currentImpulseId;
// ... later on used in public property getter as follows

public decimal CurrentImpulseId
{
  get { return _currentImpulseId ?? 0M; }
  set { _currentImpulseId = value; }
}

Following error is returned:

Operator '??' cannot be applied to operands of type 'decimal' and
  'decimal'

Why doesn't this work? Does the null coalescing operator not work with decimals or am I missing something here? I know how I can work around this without using the operator, but this somewhat baffled me so I wonder if you know the correct answer on this?
Thanks!

A: You are getting this error because decimal is a value type, not a nullable value type (e.g. decimal?) or a reference type.
From MSDN:

...and is used to define a default value for nullable value types or reference types

The default value of a variable of type decimal is zero, so I am not quite sure why you would want to use this operator in this scenario.
Also, the backing field variable (_currentImpulseId) is not required as of .NET 3.0, since the introduction of auto-implemented properties means you can just write
public decimal CurrentImpulseId { get; set; }

A: Because decimal is a value type see HERE, you have to make it nullable.
Try
private decimal? _currentImpulseId;
// ... later on used in public property getter as follows

public decimal? CurrentImpulseId
{
  get { return _currentImpulseId ?? 0M; }
  set { _currentImpulseId = value; }
}

That Black Girl Magic
Director Raelle Myrick-Hodges on Intimate Apparel and Black Girl Magic in the Theatre
Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with director Raelle Myrick-Hodges about Intimate Apparel. We spoke about her directing process and what excited her about directing this play now. Please enjoy our interview.
JACQUELINE LAWTON: Why did you decide to get into theatre? Was there someone or a particular show that inspired you?
RAELLE MYRICK-HODGES: I started theater in my mother's home. I was a latchkey kid, so my friends would come over and we would make 'plays' to Ojays albums. I would 'direct' of course. I was hooked in 5th grade, but didn't pursue professional theater until my late 20s. The work of Michael Bennet (Dreamgirls was the first Broadway Musical I ever saw) and everything from George C. Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe became a mentor for me and his work as writer, director, producer and arts leader inspired me to continue in professional theater.
JL: Can you talk a bit about your directing process? For instance, what is the first day like for you and the cast?
RMH: The voices of the acting artists have a tendency to lead a large part of my vision. But, I read a text for the conversation with the playwright (past and present) for their words on the page. I ask a series of questions to 'the playwright' and read the script for answers. Design elements are characters for me and literally participate in the acting artist process from first week of rehearsal. First rehearsal is a first date: "What are your likes and dislikes in rehearsal? What allows you strength and confidence for do your job?" This from the lead actor to the intern. ALL company members participate.
JL: Do you engage in certain exercises or rituals throughout the process?
RMH: Every play is different so every process is different. I do not wish to have a rigid structure of finding the conversation of the playwright to the audience as a formulaic process. It is unique and organic—it is found with the ensemble, not solely with my envisioning of the work.
JL: What excited you about directing PlayMakers Rep's production of Intimate Apparel? What made you say yes?
RMH: I have never been given a 'period piece.' Working with new artistic direction at a company I where developed as an artist is always an honor. I said yes because I love the work that PlayMakers wishes to share with its audience.
JL: Set in 1905 Manhattan, Intimate Apparel is centered on Esther Mills, a seamstress who sews beautiful corsets for a living. What make this story relevant for today's audience?
RMH: African-American women are currently in a state of metaphorically 'mending' in all facets of their life: love, work, reputation. Esther is a complicated and eloquent metaphor for today's black women. Esther is the original 'black girl magic' chica—doing it all gracefully and graciously, even when broken-hearted.
JL: What advice do you have for up-and-coming directors?
RMH: Honestly? A good director is always 'up-and-coming.' Always challenge yourself, challenge your arts landscape and do it because you wish to share, not lecture with an audience. The best 'advice' is to work on projects you LOVE—for there is never enough money and opening nights to hold you in your artistry without to commitment to each work as its own entity that deserves its own journey. Try not to limit your perspective on your audience and make smart work allowing others to rise to the ideas you are sharing in your work. And lastly, be KIND to your company—from fancy lead actor to first time intern, everyone is present because they want the best work and they should be treated with the utmost respect—because theater cannot be done alone.
JL: What next for you as a director?
RMH: I am working in dance for the first time with Urban Bush Women (Brooklyn) this spring as well as supporting Pace University in a production of Polaroid Stories by Naomi Iizuka—the first play I ever directed! I am working with a new ensemble of artists called Elephant Room and we begin presenting new projects in the fall of 2017.
Jacqueline Lawton is a dramaturg at PlayMakers Repertory Company and an assistant professor in the Department of Dramatic Art at UNC-Chapel Hill. Her newest play, Intelligence, is part of the Power Plays project at Arena Stage in Washington D.C.

Future Fossil – is Mad Max on crack

5 of 5 Hot-Bimbo-Bot Stars – Future Fossil by Gene Bathurst.
This is such a fun story, and I really enjoyed it. It's a Mad Max type story, set in a similar post-apocalyptic type world, where there's hot android bitches, and talking velociraptors. Good times.
The story is about Magnum Thrax, and his gang of hot android bitches. They scour the wasteland for precious metals to sell to the almighty sex shop. Because sex is the real currency, apparently.
Thrax and his sexy bitches travel in a high-tech tank, ready for battle. They come across a mine, and follow it deep into the mountain, where they come across sentient rocks, and talking raptors who are about to sacrifice Thrax's buddy, and his young sister.
And of course, they're doing the sacrifice for their god, the T-Rex. But the T-Rex can't talk for some reason. It's just a plain ol' T-Rex. Nothing special about it, except that it was engineered to heal itself, and grow a new head, if need be.
Thrax and his sex-bots jump into the mix to save their friends. Hot lead and lasers light up the cavern, as Thrax tries to save his sister and his stupid friend, who's trying to negotiate with the dumb raptors. "I can make you bigger, stronger, faster," he says, pretending to be some genetic scientist, when in fact, he's just a computer programmer.
Thrax's sister argues this with Kal, saying he's not a bloody scientist, when Kal says, "I know that, but come on… How hard could it be? I could learn that shit in a couple of weeks." Heh. I lol'd.
Then, Thrax battles the T-Rex, and severs its head. But that's no big deal. The T-Rex grows a new head. But not just one. Two new heads! And the chase is on. The sex-bots jump on the T-Rex and sever its two heads. Now it's got three heads! Holy shit.
The battle continues, until one of the sex-bots jumps on top of the T-Rex, and jacks into its brain, controlling it. Fucking mind control of a T-Rex? How awesome is that? Super fucking awesome. So the sex-bot goes crazy with the T-Rex, tearing up all the stupid raptors.
Could this story get any better? It's fucking awesome. I couldn't find any fault in it. For such a silly story, it was very well written. It's something my wife refers to as 'crack'. You just take a perfectly normal story and throw some crazy shit in there. Like talking raptors, and a T-Rex with three heads. And hell, everyone loves some good crack.

When The Circus Came To Town – it sucked
Little Secrets – actually disturbed me


I had a similar situation and problem. They wrongly issued two cards and I was asked to pay the unneeded a card and finally they just collected my money to settle the loan and stop anything. When I recognised I did not get my money, it is too late for tfl, because the card was expired. Then this bad company said we can not do anything for refund. It is worst experience.


If you think labor pain is the worst pain in the world, you are wrong. There is another pain which is only experienced by women. It is the pain caused by child or baby. Women neglect all types of pains and injuries during 9 months period. It is the courage and strength that make them suffer these pains comfortably. Well, you can think of men in place of women. Men can only shoe their strength in rings and wrestling chambers. They just do not have the power to withstand extra pains for the sake of others. Instead, women can even leave their power to live just for saving their child. Therefore, women definitely have more power than men.
According to studies, women have better immune systems than men. So, they are less prone to diseases than men. Only autoimmune diseases occur more commonly in men. And diseases such as high cholesterols, diabetes, blood pressure etc develop less in females. Actually, they have a hormone called estrogen that provides them power to avoid several diseases. Women easily survive their menstruation cycles. They get signs of aging such as dark spots, wrinkles at a later stage. In addition to estrogen, other growth hormones also play a crucial role in the enhancing of immunity. Therefore, we can also say that women live for longer periods than men.
If we compare brains of men and women, we will find women brains heal in a much better way. Female brains have the strength to rehabilitate after injuries. Women have the power to coordinate for longer periods than men. It is because different parts of women brain work together. The neurons present in females are highly team-oriented. They work as a team and cure pains, injuries and keep on maintaining the memory and sharpness. On the other hand, men neurons do not work in a wonderful way and they fail to work as effectively as women. Therefore, women's can fight with people with high intensity without caring for their nervous system.
Women can perform various activities at a particular time. They can listen to the news, take care of their babies and reply to messages, e-mails on their smartphones simultaneously. Because of this thing, they are known as multi-tasking. On the other hand, men find it pretty difficult to perform these activities effectively. They can only manage to complete their office work. If we set men in place of women for performing household activities such as cooking, cleaning, etc. we will surely avail negative results. So, women can do the job of men, but men can never perform works of women.
On the other hand, men do not possess these superpowers. However, they do have a power of controlling their emotions. And for this reason, they are sometimes are treated as more powerful than men. But, on majority times, it is the woman who is declared as the winner.
Women also have some other powers known as psychic powers. Women have a definite type of initiation. They can easily tell why their baby is crying if their friend is having any problem and whether their husband is cheating.
Women's mental powers help them in remembering long shopping lists, assignments, calendars, birthdays and anniversaries. They always remember what their boyfriend like, which food is best for their children and other family members. All these wonderful powers cannot be found in men, and that's why they lack women.
Without a doubt, we can say that women are more powerful in terms of physical and mental strength. Women have the power of growing a human being inside their body and withstand the pain caused by "kicking" and "moving". Women have enhanced immune system because of which they develop fewer diseases and live for long periods. They also have better mental power and curing of their brain and other nervous organs very quickly. At a particular time, women can observe their babies, send e-mails and watch t.v or listen to the news. They do have some superpowers such as "crying power" and "communication power". So, you need to respect your mother, sister, and girlfriend who have the exceptional type of strength.

With interactive theatre attractions on the rise, Apocalypse Events has returned to the site of last year's supernatural themed event, Arcane. The new show - Suspects, Lunatics and a Leather Apron, is based around the events of Jack the Ripper's reign of terror. Guests are thrown into London after dark, and tasked with investigating and piecing together a series of events, to unmask one of the world's most famous serial killers.
The experience is built within a warehouse in Whitechapel, with an entire East End community, including houses, shops, pubs, a church and a burnt-out newspaper office. Many of the building are multi level and we were left free to search at our leisure. The audience is split into three groups and given roles within the community, one group as police recruits, one the Whitechapel neighbourhood watch/vigilante group and one helping the local Doctor.
We started on a few tasks but it was not long before we found ourselves diverting off and tracking down our own leads (which is positively encouraged!) Murders, fights, betrayal, all culminated in each group putting forward their suspect and a chosen magistrate making the final choice as to who would eventually be hanged. Yes, they did actually hang someone!
anything they don't want to, and those that wish to throw themselves into it can really have fun. As always the more you put into things, the more you got out of it, and we spent ages exploring the very atmospheric set trying to discover new clues.
Story wise it was maybe just a little too complex. Characters were discussed and then never spoken of again, and we had no real introductory moment where we met all the suspects, beyond seeing their picture and a short blurb outside the venue. It got a little confusing to follow who was who, and who was being pursued and for what reason. And we should be good at this as we read a lot of whodunits!
We are sure the plans for the show and the logistics are incredible but maybe they do need a slight simplification or pulling together of all the facts at key moments. Saying that, the actors were very good at the improvisational elements, and all did a splendid job. The fight scenes were very well choreographed and the misdirection and herding of the audience to get us where they wanted us, for certain elements, was skillfully done.
We especially liked the end twist and wonder if they have a different scenario depending on the chosen outcome. We had a great time exploring the whole experience and we hope they continue to build on it going forward, as there is clearly a demand for high quality interactive productions.
Finally - just for the record - yes, we convicted and hanged the wrong man! Oops - sorry about that !

Q: QML SceneLoader not displaying some objects Is there a way to diagnose why SceneLoader in QML (Qt 5.8) might appear not to work?
In my current project, there's one (3DS) model that SceneLoader will show (and this worked first try), but I replace it with any other models.
I run qgltf on the models, load in their resource file, etc.. basically set everything up the same, but never models won't show.
My sceneloader status is also set to ready, as opposed to error when it cannot find the file.
I've noticed that if I don't scale my objects, it will appear as if their not showing, but nothing I do to the newer models (either scaling them in Blender or in a QML Transform) has any impact.
I once saw an app for preparing models for Qt, but I think it was discontinued, in any case I'm not able to find it now.
Is there some vertex limit?  Some other limit?  I can't find anything in the docs about why it mightn't work.
Code:
Entity {
   property SceneLoader shipObjSmall: SceneLoader {
      id: shipObjSmall
      source: "qrc:/models/tugboat-small.qgltf"
      // code to print status on onStatusChanged
   }

Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat Recall Raises Questions about Seat's Marketing Photos
The <"https://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/bumbo_baby_sitter_seat_recall">Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat marketing campaign used photos that showed babies in seats that had been placed on raised surfaces. Now it seems that those pictures left many parents with a false sense of security. That's because these photographs of the Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat in action led many consumers to believe that their children could not fall from the infant seat regardless of where it was placed – an assumption that has proven tragically wrong.
The Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat, sold by Bumbo International of South Africa, is a soft foam chair that is supposed to allow infants to sit upright without the aid of straps. It is designed with the seat lower than the leg openings so that children will remain secure. The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) began investigating the Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat earlier this month, after several media outlets reported on children who were severely injured after falling from the seat. These reports included two children from Kansas and California who suffered from skull fractures after falling out of a Bumbo Seat.
The children who sustained the most serious injuries from the Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat had been in the infant seat when it was placed on a counter or some other raised surface. Now it appears that Bumbo International's marketing efforts may have confused parents about the proper way in which to use the Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat. While the Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat does have a small warning label that says "never use on a raised surface", some of its marketing materials send a different message. These materials say the chair is safe on "any level surface", and some of the pictures used by the company show children sitting in the Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat on a raised surface. The website also showed pictures of babies in the seat on a picnic table and playing the piano. Some of those pictures were removed from the website after reports of Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat accidents were publicized, but by then, at least 28 children had fallen from the Bumbo seat and three had suffered skull fractures.
Those injuries have prompted the CPSC to recall about 1 million Bumbo Baby Sitter Seats. The recalled Bumbo Baby Sitter Seats were sold in various retail, toy and children's stores nationwide, and online, from August 2003 through October 2007 for about $40. The bottom of the Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat is round and flat and about 15 inches in diameter. The Bumbo Baby Sitter Seat is made of a single piece of molded foam, and comes in the colors yellow, blue, purple, pink, aqua, and lime. On the front of the seat in raised lettering is the word "Bumbo" with the image of an elephant. The bottom of the seat has the following words: "Manufactured by Bumbo South Africa Material: Polyurethane World Patent No. PCT: ZA/1999/00030."

BESPIN
When 11p was tasked to create a holistic brand and website that reflects BESPIN, we somewhat "geeked out." However, BESPIN is not just a clever reference to the massive planet from Star Wars, it's also an acronym for Business Enterprise Systems Product Innovation. This groundbreaking initiative allows Air Force developers to gain hands-on knowledge and collaborate with commercial developers. The office uses agile methodologies to produce exceptional applications and products that will improve mission support capabilities and the lives of Airmen.
Branding, Marketing + Web
bespin.il2.dso.mil
• 2020 Platinum MarCom Award, Digital U Branding
• 2020 Gold MarCom Award, BESPIN Marketing Materials
• 2020 Bronze Summit Creative Award, BESPIN Website
A BRAND THAT BUILDS BONDS
When setting out to design the BESPIN logo, 11p took a page out of the office's own handbook. As a nod to its Star Wars association, the logo wings are inspired by the seal of the Jedi Order. The wings merge with the head of an eagle to symbolize the military and Air Force collaboration. The final element of the logo is the incorporation of an abstract yin yang symbol as a reference to the light and dark forces of Star Wars.
#009CE9
#41E3DF
It begins with a strategy...
The Air Force is focusing on investing in our digital Airmen to ensure that they have the ability to build the technical competence needed to be a lethal fighting force.
– LT. PEYTON CLEVELAND, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE
A WEBSITE, FROM THE GROUND-UP
When it came time to create a website to represent BESPIN, 11p interviewed current participants to ensure design decisions would address the user's needs. BESPIN housed over 15 applications that directly assisted members of the Air Force in their everyday duties, and it was important to showcase all of their capabilities.
The final site allows Airmen to stay informed of events and accomplishments within the BESPIN initiative and offers direct contact to application managers and leadership. Each application has a unique web page showcasing its key features. For the geographically dispersed team, the BESPIN website offers a communal place to share successes and feel connected to the universal mission.
MISSION-FOCUSED MARKETING
11p collaborated with BESPIN's Communication and Marketing department and leadership to create an entire branding and marketing package to suit the various needs of BESPIN participants. Deliverables included in this package were: PowerPoint templates, social media graphics, slick sheets, advertisements, and more!


Our vision for Computing and ICT is for students to gain insight into the possibilities of computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Part of this is ensuring that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology. As part of their work within Nutrition Science, pupils are taught how to cook and apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating. Learning how to cook is a crucial life skill that enables pupils to feed themselves and others, affordably and well, now and later in life.


text: Q: Drop empty variables when importing spss into Stata I have an spss dataset that has ~27000 variables, but only ~500 include any values. The rest are blank for every observation. I'm using Stata 16 IC (maxvar 2048), so I'm unable to import the dataset. Is there any way to import the data with only those variables that aren't empty? Thanks!

Q: Why the output of this python code is False? Why does the following code:
a = [8, 0, 4, 6]

if a.reverse() == a[::-1]:
    print(True)
else:
    print(False)

Outputs False?

A: a.reverse() returns None.Its in place reverse.You can try reversed(a)
If its Python 3 , reversed will return generator, so you will again have to do [i for i in reversed(a)]

A: Because list.reverse reverses the list in-place and returns None. What you are doing is this:
if None == a[::-1]: # which is obviously not True

A: Also note that when you do if a.reverse() ..., python executes a.reverse() and therefore modifies a accordingly. In other words:
a = [8, 0, 4, 6]
print(f'before evaluation in if statement: {a}\n')
if a.reverse():
    print(True)
print(f'after evaluation in if statement: {a}')

Output:
before evaluation in if statement: [8, 0, 4, 6]

after evaluation in if statement: [6, 4, 0, 8]

An alternative way without modifying a would be:
a = [8, 0, 4, 6]
if list(reversed(a)) == a[::-1]:
    print(True)
else:
    print(False)
print(f'after evaluation in if statement: {a}')

Output
True
after evaluation in if statement: [8, 0, 4, 6]

Bradford Children and Young Peoples Lifestyle Survey
Letters will be sent out this week inviting schools to participate in the Bradford Children and Young Peoples Lifestyle Survey
Please be aware that letters will be sent out this week inviting schools to participate in the Bradford Children and Young Peoples Lifestyle Survey.
To deliver the Districts priorities effectively, it is essential to listen to the needs of young people and understand the challenges they face. Working with Bradford Council, The Schools Health Education Unit (SHEU) delivered the Healthy Lifestyle Survey in Bradford in 2010 and 2013 and we have not had a survey since then. SHEU is the leading provider of health-related surveys for use in schools in the UK. Over a million pupils have completed questionnaires since the service began in 1977, and SHEU has had contact with thousands of schools across the UK.
The major part of SHEUs work is school community lifestyle surveys where young people give up their time to complete the questionnaires which provide information and intelligence about issues affecting young children which will be useful to schools and key partners as well as people as well.
The survey will be district wide and offered to all pupils in years 5, 7 and 10 in mainstream, special schools and PRUs in the Spring Term 2020. The survey has been designed to build on previous years questionnaires to enable the identification of any long term trends. To identify new areas of potential issues across the district, feedback has been received from Children's Services, Born in Bradford, School Nursing, Youth Services and Public Health and new questions have been added.
The survey will be available both in paper form and online and will be carried out via the School Nursing Service with support from SHEU. Results for the survey will be distributed to all schools individually and confidentially, with a summary for the district being made available via the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), Children's Trust and the Health and Wellbeing Board.
This survey will be used to help understand what the biggest issues are for Health and Well-being within the district and will enable schools and organisations to make the best use of their resources and services for children and young people.
Audience: All Headteachers
Contact: Jonathan Stansbie


Researchers claim that there is an "urgent need" to test triclosan, a common chemical in household products. After preliminary studies, scientists conclude that it might cause colonic inflammation and promote colon cancer.
The compound has also been found in blood plasma and breast milk and is known to be widely distributed throughout the planet's rivers, streams, oceans, and reservoirs.
Because of its potential role in antimicrobial resistance and endocrine disruption, and its theoretical effects on the immune system, it has been deemed a "contaminant of emerging concern" by the United States Geological Survey.

1. Grounded in a history that is real.
Appreciative questions challenge us to build on what we've ALREADY done that works. No pie-in-the-sky platitudes. The focus is on REAL strengths that have achieved REAL positive results.
2. HOPE is ignited and energized.
Appreciative questions unleash passion and enthusiasm. They create positive and attractive pictures. People get "pumped" when they know they can do it, when they believe there is a realistic chance for success. They know that the probabilities for success are high because they've done it before.
People obviously like to talk about what's working. When they connect, rapport takes place that is interpersonally gratifying. Since we gravitate toward things that are gratifying, relationships have a chance to grow at a deeper level.
4. They give people a voice.
When asked about what is working, we automatically feel like our opinions and ideas count. This makes us feel valued. Motivation, morale and a willingness to engage go up when we know that we've been heard.
When people are hopeful, heaviness, stress and rigidity give way to lightheartedness, calm and mental flexibility. Appreciative questions focus on possibility, they give new ideas room to grow and creativity an opportunity to flourish.
What's more motivating: focusing on what you are doing right or concentrating on all of your mistakes and weaknesses? One lifts you up and makes you confident, the other tears you down and makes you insecure. Appreciative questions assume that confidence is a critical key to great solutions while insecurity, resentment and defensiveness lead to a much lesser result.
7. They create the freedom to embrace positive change.
When we are confident and secure we are more open to change. We have the freedom to receive new ideas. When we are fearful and insecure we become defensive and closed. Positive questions stimulate positive change.
8. They give people an opportunity to be visionary.
Appreciative questions force us to transcend petty preoccupations and picture a better future—a future that magnetically pulls us forward. They allow us to dream and when we dream with others we discover common aspirations that unify us. Appreciative questions remind us that the most important things about us are not where we have been, but rather where we are going.
Appreciative questions are inherently action-oriented. They challenge people to think about "next steps" and moving forward; they don't get wrapped around the axle of planning and analysis.
10. Culture that is alive.
Appreciative questions transform organizations into places where impassioned people come to work fully awake and firing on all cylinders. Hope and optimism fuel a strong desire to make the company the best that it can be. The result is solutions that amaze, surprise and blow the doors off business-as-usual.
