The type of people who are more efficient when they are in a bad mood.
Being in a bad mood can help certain people think more efficiently, according to new research.
Feeling fed up can boost some people's 'executive functioning', which includes their ability to focus, plan and prioritise tasks.
Conversely, good moods sometimes reduce other people's executive functioning.
It all depends on emotional reactivity, the psychologists found.
Some people are highly reactive: their moods swing quickly and strongly at the slightest provocation.
Highly reactive people were found to perform better on tasks when they were in a bad mood.
It may be because more emotionally reactive people are used to dealing with bad moods, so it is less distracting for them.
For people low in emotional reactivity, though, being in a bad mood was distracting, and they performed worse.
The study included 95 people who were all given tests of emotional reactivity and different tests of executive function.
Only bad moods had any effect on people's ability to concentrate and use their memories efficiently.
Positive mood states had no effect.
The study was published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences (Gabel & McAuley, 2018).

Q: Can't reach NodeJS microservice through Spring Cloud Gateway + Eureka I use a microservices architecture in the backend where I have services created using TypeScript and others using Java. Also I have a Spring Gateway and an Eureka server (both using Spring).
Then, Gateway works fine, Eureka works fine and also others microservices written in Java work fine too. The problem is when I try to reach the TypeScript microservice accross the Gateway.
I have a simple Eureka Server using the annotation @EnableEurekaServer in Spring.
Also a Gateway connected to Eureka as client where the yaml has this part:
spring:
  application:
    name: gateway-service
  cloud:
    gateway:
      discovery:
        locator:
          enabled: true
          lowerCaseServiceId: true
      routes:
        - id: ms1
          uri: lb://ms1
          predicates:
            - Path=/ms1/**
        - id: ms2
          uri: lb://ms2
          predicates:
            - Path=/ms2/**

With this Gateway I want to have two routes /ms1 and /ms2 to access the microservice1 (written in TS) or microservice2 (written in Java).
When I run all services, Eureka is shown like this:

You can see the gateway, ms1 and ms2. But, why Java services has 192.168.8.121 and TS service not?
By the way, the links work ok, every service is routed to the port where exists, Gateway and Java microservice are routed to <gateway_url>:<service_port>/actuator/info and TypeScript microservice is routed to localhost:<service_port>.
Microservice2 is so simple:
@RestController
public class Controller {
    @GetMapping("/hello-world")
    public ResponseEntity<String> getHi() {
        return ResponseEntity.ok("hi");
    }
}

And also into application.yml:
spring:
  application:
    name: ms2

But TS microservice uses eureka-js-client with this configuration:
this._client = new Eureka({
                instance: {
                    app: 'ms1',
                    instanceId: 'ms1',
                    hostName: 'localhost',
                    ipAddr: '127.0.0.1',
                    statusPageUrl: `http://localhost:8081`,
                    healthCheckUrl: `http://localhost:8081/health`,
                    port: {
                        '$': 8081,
                        '@enabled': true,
                    },
                    vipAddress: 'myvip',
                    dataCenterInfo: {
                        '@class': 'com.netflix.appinfo.InstanceInfo$DefaultDataCenterInfo',
                        name: 'MyOwn',
                    },
                },
                eureka: {
                    host: 'localhost',
                    port: 8761,
                    servicePath: '/eureka/apps/'
                },
            })

So, my idea is:

*

*When I hit <gateway_url>:<gateway_port>/ms1/hello-world it appears the data from TypeScript microservice.

*When I hit <gateway_url>:<gateway_port>/ms2/hello-world it appears the data from Java microservice.

The second one works fine, but the route http://192.168.8.121:8762/ms1/hello-world returns a 503 error:
Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no configured error view, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
Mon May 16 19:02:56 CEST 2022
[fa1d8857-5] There was an unexpected error (type=Service Unavailable, status=503).

And console says No servers available for service: ms1.
So I don't know if I'm misunderstanding something, the name from eureka-js-client is ms1. The LB is to that service... but it not works.
As I've said, with a Java service works fine, so maybe the problem is the way the service connect to Eureka, the name who uses or something like that? But in the dashboard it appears as MS1 and MS2 so I'm confused...
Thanks in advance

A: Solved my issue, it was a weird thing.
My vipAddress was not correct. It seems Spring Cloud Gateway checks for the instance.vipAddress instead of instance.app.
So replacing myvip with ms1 it works perfectly.

The BIG3 Is Who We Are; FIREBALL3 Is What We Play
PR Newswire January 15, 2020
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2017, the BIG3 set out to professionalize traditional 3-on-3 basketball and made innovative changes purely motivated by a desire to elevate the game. Ahead of its fourth season in 2020, the BIG3 is announcing a bevy of enhancements to the league as well as a recognition of what has already been accomplished over the past three years - the official creation of a new global sport: FIREBALL3.
VIDEO on FIREBALL3 and innovations for 2020 season
The millions of fans who attended, watched, and became diehard BIG3 followers know that the BIG3 game is nothing like traditional 3-on-3 basketball. The young fans call it various things, one of which is FIREBALL3. Today, the BIG3 is leaning into their lead and officially recognizing that BIG3 athletes are playing a completely new sport.
"There are a lot of sports out there that require similar skill sets, like MMA and boxing, football and rugby, baseball and cricket. Our fans let us know that we were playing something extremely unique, FIREBALL3, which is nothing like the typical 3-on-3 FIBA game coming to the Olympics," said BIG3 co-founder Ice Cube.
BIG3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz commented, "Our appeal is young and more diverse and we needed to eliminate confusion to help fans understand what to expect from our on-court product. Our sport has already proven to be the freshest and most exciting in decades, attracting fans around the globe and major sponsors including Adidas and others."
"We've needed the freedom to keep innovating without potential new fans thinking it was typical 3-on-3. Plus, we didn't want our deep love and respect for the NBA to be misinterpreted by our use of different rules," added Ice Cube. "We could never compete with the NBA any more than we could compete with the NFL or FIFA. We are the BIG3, our own unique thing. But that doesn't mean FIREBALL3 can't coexist with these sports and still be many fans' favorite sport."
"We're going to keep growing, keep building and keep putting the best athletes on the court. We hope that one day FIREBALL3 will be an Olympic sport too," stated Ice Cube.
The BIG3 will bring the very best to fans in the upcoming season with a number of enhancements and exciting on-court innovations:
Lowering Minimum Age – The BIG3 will lower the minimum age to qualify for athletes from 27 to 22 with younger exceptions in hardship cases.
Bring the Fire – Once per half, a team can challenge a foul call resulting in an in-game one-on-one possession with the victor winning the call.
All Athletes Welcome – The BIG3 will hold open tryouts for athletes to qualify for the BIG3 combine. Professional basketball experience no longer required. The BIG3 wants the best athletes in the world regardless of sporting experience. In the same manner as the NFL takes the best from various sports, this could mean two-sport athletes, overlooked basketball stars, and some athletes choosing FIREBALL3 over other sports (i.e. NFL tight ends).
Festivals Every Saturday - Following the thrill and success of BIG3 Ballout in Dallas last season, the BIG3 will host sports and entertainment festivals in a different city every Saturday during the summer. The BIG3 will present six straight games, musical performances, and host YOUNG3 clinics in the local community the Friday before, as well as other weekend events in the city.
The FIREBALL - The league will use a new all red ball known as a FIREBALL.
The new sport is the result of game innovations, unique rules, and league policies introduced by the BIG3 over its first three seasons, including:
Single Foul Shots – All shooting fouls in the BIG3 result in a single free-throw worth the number of points for the attempted field goal. If a player is fouled on a two-point field goal, he will shoot from the foul line for a chance at two points. In the BIG3, three-point foul shots are taken from the three-point line at the top of the key and four-point foul shots are taken from the center four-point circle.
14-Second Shot Clock – All possessions in the BIG3 have a 14-second shot clock.
4-Point Shot – Players have the option to pull up from three circles 30-feet from the basket for a four-point shot. A shooter needs just one foot touching the circle for the four-point shot to count.
Coach Challenges: BIG3 coaches are given one challenge per game to review clearing, 3 and 4-point shots, out-of-bounds violations, and goaltending violations. If a coach wins the challenge, they get one more challenge to use during the game.
Player Empowerment – BIG3 players are encouraged by management to be themselves and let their personalities shine on the court and on social media. Players serve as team General Managers in charge of drafting, trades, lineups along with coaching staff.
League Mental Health Policy – The BIG3 has a robust policy supporting our players, coaches, and staff in many situations.
CBD – The BIG3 encourages player choice in the use of CBD for recovery.
Since its inception, the BIG3 has brought a fast-paced, physical, competitive, and fun environment to the court. League stars include the decorated Joe Johnson, Amar'e Stoudemire, Mike Bibby, Josh Smith, Stephen Jackson, Glen "Big Baby" Davis, Rashard Lewis, and more. The coaching ranks are filled with legends like Julius "Dr. J" Erving, Charles Oakley, George Gervin, Kenyon Martin, Gary Payton, and the last two Coach of the Year winners, Lisa Leslie and Nancy Lieberman.
A conference call with BIG3 co-founders Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz, commissioner Clyde Drexler, and chairman of the board Amy Trask is scheduled for Wednesday, January 15 at 6pm ET/3pm PT to discuss any and all questions about the creation of FIREBALL3 and changes for the upcoming season. Please email the media contact for dial-in information.
Information about registering for BIG3 tryouts and workouts conducted by BIG3 Player Captains, Coaches and Players will be posted on the BIG3 website.

AAFE Opens Jackson Heights Office; Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Joins Ribbon Cutting Celebration
AAFE) opened a new Community Services Center in Jackson Heights, Queens April 16, with U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joining other elected officials and community leaders in a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The office will offer expanded housing, immigration, senior and small business programs in one of New York City's most dynamic neighborhoods. The ADA-accessible space is located at 37-61 84th St., near Roosevelt Avenue.
In remarks before the ribbon cutting, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said, "I'm just proud to be a part of this community." The newly elected representative from the 14th Congressional District, including the Bronx and sections of Queens, has quickly become one of the highest profile political figures nationwide. Last month, she opened a district office in Jackson Heights. "We just moved in a couple blocks down,"noted Ocasio-Cortez, referencing other elected officials with a presence in the neighborhood. "What is lovely is that we're really generating a beautiful ecosystem of advocacy here in Jackson Heights.
AAFE Co-Executive Director Thomas Yu greets Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
AAFE client Fang Shu Jiu speaks about the help he received from our counselors in Jackson Heights.
In a recent Congressional hearing, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez highlighted the case of a family in her district who faced harassment from their landlord, due to their immigration status. AAFE had brought this case to the attention of the Congresswoman's office. This type of information sharing from grassroots organizers to members of Congress is critical, said Ocasio-Cortez. She explained, "(It's so important) for all of our organizers here in this community to hold these stories, to know what's going on, to stay in touch, to be responsive, to care — so that when we try to be advocates down in D.C… those stories can be told."
AAFE offers community services from offices in Lower Manhattan, as well as Flushing and Jackson Heights in Queens. Counselors are available to help tenants defend their right to safe and affordable housing, assist community members with U.S. citizenship applications, apply for government benefits and secure affordable health care AAFE has operated a Jackson Heights office for several years, but the new location is more accessible and visible to the community. Services are available in multiple languages, including Chinese and Spanish.
AAFE's small business affiliate, Renaissance Economic Development Corporation (REDC) also offers services in the Jackson Heights location, including low-interest loans and technical training.
State Sen. Jessica Ramos spoke just before the ribbon cutting.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez took the time for some "selfies" with guests at the ribbon cutting celebration.
AAFE Co-Executive Director Thomas Yu said, "AAFE has always believed that New York's immigrant communities rise together.This office is emblematic of our commitment to serve an increasingly diverse population." He added, "We're here to provide services, especially in an atmosphere where our immigrant communities, low-income communities, communities of color are under attack.We're here to say we're not invisible, and we'll fight back."
State Senators Toby Ann Stavisky and Jessica Ramos also attended the ribbon cutting. Stavisky said, "I know AAFE is going to continue to (provide services to all in need) in the remarkable way that you've done for 45 years… I look forward to working with you here and also in Flushing (where AAFE has two community offices)."
"When there are so many forces trying to divide us," added Sen. Ramos, "I think it's more important than ever that we support the expansion of community based organizations that have done such great work and that work to help everyone find the dignity in themselves."
Ramos noted that AAFE has been a longtime advocate for affordable housing, equitable public transportation and for quality schools in every community. "These are all fights that AAFE has been in — helping working class New Yorkers… I'm looking forward to fighting alongside you in the trenches."
The new office will be hosting a robust series of events this spring and summer, offering free resources for the community. They include:
April 25, 6:30 p.m. – Tenant Rights Workshop: Topics to be covered include fair housing requirements, options for affordable housing, strategies for coping with rent increases and maintenance issues in your building.
May 9, 9:30 a.m.-noon – Senior Benefits Day: Community members will be able to access reduced fare Metrocards, learn about naturalization applications, receive help with Medicare and Medicaid applications, and ask questions about other common issues.
May 2, 6 p.m. – REDC Small Business Series: This three part class, offered in Spanish only, will provide training for local entrepreneurs. Topics include: accessing capital, social media/marketing and running an online store.
To register for the Tenant Rights Workshop and Senior Benefits Day, residents should call 718-316-9993. For the Small Business Series, they should contact Elizabeth Au-Hing at 212-964-2288.

If you've recently had a root canal or have a tooth that's cracked or has a large filling, a crown may be required. Used to offer extra protection to the damaged tooth, crowns are normally made from ceramic or a combination of both ceramic and gold, so that they flawlessly blend in with the rest of your teeth while also providing stability and function.
Strengthen your tooth's structure and prevent future dental issues by getting Creek View Dental to create a crown for your tooth today!
How is a Crown Created?
At Creek View Dental, the process of being outfitted with a crown begins with a consultation appointment. During the consultation, we will ensure a crown is the right course of action to take and will review the entire process with you in detail.
Any decay and/or previous filling is removed at the beginning of the crown process. To build up and seal the supporting tooth, new filling material is expertly placed. Then, shaping of the tooth is completed to prepare it for your new tooth crown.
After the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken. This is to be used by the lab so that the crown created will be the perfect shape for your mouth. To ensure the crown restoration blends in seamlessly, a shade guide is used to choose the best colour for the crown.
We then send this information to our affiliate lab, where a crown is created that will be the best shape and colour for your mouth. Until your permanent crown is received back from our lab, a temporary crown is used to cover your prepared tooth.
When your crown is ready, you will return to the office where we will remove your temporary crown and cement your permanent crown into place. One of our dentists will review proper dental care with you to ensure any further decay is prevented.
Providing the Best Crown Services in St. Catharines!
At Creek View Dental, we have the skills, knowledge and experience to ensure your crown will fit perfectly. Even better, we work hard to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire process, from consultation to final visit.
Working closely with you, we will address any concern and answer any question you have regarding your crown so that you know exactly what to expect throughout the process.
We want you to feel confident about choosing Creek View Dental for your crown needs! After getting a crown fitted by us, rest assured that we will continue to take care of you. Any issue you may have following treatment will be quickly and expertly addressed.
At regular dental cleaning visits following your crown placement, we will ensure your crown is fitting well, thereby lasting for many years to come.
We value all our patients at Creek View Dental and are honoured when you choose us for you and your family's dental needs.
See for yourself why we are the number one choice for crown services in St. Catharines! Contact Creek View Dental today for more information about our services, including crown treatments.

Q: Locking paragraphs together with CKEditor 5 I've checked the CKEditor documentation but cannot find an option to 'lock' paragraphs of text together to stop them becoming separated between page breaks. In MS Word, it's called 'keep with next'. E.g.

CKEditor seems pretty feature rich so I wonder if I can't find it because of a terminology problem, or if it's some custom function I need to code?

A: This is not a full answer, as it only contains what is needed, but not the final solution.
But hopefully it will help for further searching.
CKEditor can only do things that are provided by CSS itself.
What you are looking for is to set the page-break-after style property to avoid.
That can be solved in different ways:

*

*Having a class like keep-with-next and define a rule for that class with page-break-after: avoid, and setting that class for the element using CKEditor.

*Having a plugin that sets page-break-after: avoid as inline style.


On 17 and 18 February 2017, the President of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Judge Silvia Fernández visited Barcelona, Spain, to participate in two events held by the Federation of European Bars and the Barcelona Bar Association.
On 18 February 2017, the President delivered a guest speech at the Commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Federation of European Bars (FBE). Congratulating the FBE and its members on their anniversary, the President underlined the important role of lawyers at the ICC. "The representation of suspects, accused, victims and certain witnesses before the Court is ensured by lawyers," Judge Fernández said. "Lawyers are key components of fair proceedings, and there can be no successful ICC without fair trials," she added.
During her visit, the President also participated together with the Minister of Justice of Spain, Mr. Rafael Català, and other high representatives of Spanish and Catalonian authorities in the annual formal session of the Barcelona Bar Association. In her address, the President recalled that "the continued support of States and of the world's legal communities is vital to consolidate the gains made in the field of international criminal law over the last twenty years." She also invited Spanish lawyers, in particular women, who are currently underrepresented, to join the list of counsel for defence and victims at the International Criminal Court.
Judge Silvia Fernández de Gurmendi (Argentina) has been the ICC President since 11 March 2015 and was elected for a term of three years. The ICC is the first permanent international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community, namely: genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The defeat to Cardiff on Saturday proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Christiansen, who only took charge at Elland Road in June of last year. The club officially confirmed the sacking of their head coach on Sunday night.

The defeat at the weekend was Leeds' fifth defeat in their last seven games in all competitions. In the club's official statement, the board thanked Christiansen and his staff for their effort over the past eight months.
Up next for Leeds is a trip to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United on Saturday, and it is unclear at this point whether or not a successor to Christiansen will be named before the fixture.

Q: Is it OFFICIALLY impossible to receive the price of an in-app billing item at runtime? I saw two questions (this and this) about the possibility of receiving the price of an item at runtime. There, the answers were 'no'.
I agree with this kind of answer, but I'm searching for an official reply, based on some documentation or something like this.
Can someone give me this confirmation?

A: This is a feature not supported by Google as of now. May be they have future plans. IOS does provide method to get the price.
I doubt Google or any firm would document a feature they are not or not planning to provide.They would have documented the service/method if it was available.Can't the absence of any mention to such a service/method in developer site be taken as official confirmation?

Q: Unable to find Jenkins config.xml on ubuntu Can some body tell me where can I find config.xml on ubuntu 14.
I am using tomcat8 and deployed Jenkins.war file under web app. While configuring security, I did mistake and now it's asking for username and password.
I stopped server, deleted Jenkin from webapp and satrted server with new Jenkins.war, but no luck still it's asking credentials.
From this site I came to know that we need to set
 <useSecurity> to false in config.xml,

but I am unable to find config.xml of my ubuntu.

A: I ran into the same problem few days back,
set useSecurity to false from true and restart the server
<useSecurity>false</useSecurity>

with this you can able to signup for Jenkin and use that user to login.
To find config.xml

file will be under users home directory. jenkin will create config file under .Jenkins directory.
you can use below command to find config file
find ~/ -type f -name "config.xml"

this will give path to config.xml file, If you have sudo access you can edit the file.

A: I found mine at:
/var/lib/jenkins/config.xml

The official documentation seems to be of no use. Literally.

A: If you installed it through snap/Discover in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, you'll find it at
/var/snap/jenkins/<version>/config.xml

Q: Does a $\kappa$-Kurepa tree imply we have a slim $\kappa$-Kurepa tree? Take a $\kappa$-Kurepa tree to be a tree with more than $\kappa$ branches, of height $\kappa$, each level having cardinality less than $\kappa$
A slim $\kappa$-Kurepa tree is the same but the cardinality of each level $\alpha<\kappa$ has cardinality $\leq|\alpha|$.
Is it true in general the existence of a $\kappa$-Kurepa tree implies a slim one exists?

A: Well, if $\kappa$ is a successor, then any $\kappa$-Kurepa tree is slim (or, at least, is slim above some level).
But the implication is not true in general. For example, if $\kappa$ is a strong limit, then the full binary tree of height $\kappa$ is a $\kappa$-Kurepa tree. But if $\kappa$ additionally has some compactness properties (for example, if it is measurable) then there cannot be any slim $\kappa$-Kurepa trees.

The Supreme Court's decision today in June Medical Services v. Russo once again reaffirms the constitutional right to abortion
Sarah Garfinkel, West End Strategy Team
sgarfinkel@westendstrategy.com; 202-765-4290
WASHINGTON – Today, the Court upheld settled precedent and defended our rights, striking down a Louisiana law designed to impose medically unnecessary requirements on providers and to block patients from obtaining time-sensitive, essential health care.
National Council of Jewish Women CEO Sheila Katz and NCJW New Orleans President Susan Hess released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's decision:
"NCJW is so glad that the Supreme Court has once again upheld our constitutionally-protected right to bodily autonomy, ensuring that that the state's three clinics can remain open and continue to serve the nearly 10,000 Louisianans seeking safe and legal abortions every year.
"However, this fight is far from over as anti-abortion lawmakers across the country continue their sustained and coordinated attacks on our reproductive freedom. Indeed, the law struck down today represents just one of the nearly 450 state laws restricting access to reproductive health care — which range from outright abortion bans to biased counseling mandates to medically unnecessary regulations imposing onerous requirements on providers and patients — passed since 2011.
"As if this terrifying trend wasn't enough, the Hyde Amendment has denied abortion coverage to those enrolled in federal health programs for over 40 years despite tireless efforts to end this discriminatory policy. Significantly, even where abortion is available in theory, structural barriers to care resulting from long-standing social and economic inequities often make this basic health care unavailable in fact, disproportionately harming people of color, young people, immigrants, low-income people, rural communities, and LGBTQ individuals.
"As people of faith, we refuse to remain idle while moral autonomy, health, and lives are at stake. Every single day, we advocate for abortion rights and access for all because of Jewish values, not in spite of them. NCJW calls on Congress to pass the Women's Health Protection Act (HR 2975/S 1645) to establish a federal standard safeguarding access to high-quality care and securing our constitutional rights by protecting patients and providers from political interference. Our lawmakers must act now to ensure that everyone can make their own moral and faith-informed decisions about their body, family, and future."

Home Africa South Africa's Grade 4 Pupils To Be Taught Masturbation In School
South Africa's Grade 4 Pupils To Be Taught Masturbation In School
Children as young as 9 years old will learn about masturbation when the new life orientation textbooks are rolled out next year by the South Africa Department of Education.
According to the Sunday Times the textbooks have been overhauled to be more relevant for pupils and the department of basic education hired celebrity sex therapist Dr.Wasserman to help develop a "cutting edge" life orientation curriculum for grades 4 to 12. Each lesson will begin with a yoga pose and a mindfulness exercise and the subject for the day could be on consent, love or masturbation.
Dr. Wasserman said she worked on the entire sexuality thread of the textbooks which incorporated more than just sexuality and gender identity. Masturbation is normalised and threaded through the curriculum from grade 4.It begins with self pride, self image, body diversity, genital differences, genital changes and touching oneself for pleasure.
Increasingly, governments (particularly in developing countries including Zambia) are being pressured by the United Nations (who promotes and advances Comprehensive Sex Education through agencies such as the World Health Organisation, UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNICEF, etc) to implement CSE – under the guise that it will reduce teenage pregnancy, HIV/Aids and STD infection, will prevent violence against women, will help to reach gender equality etc. Although described as "proven effective", there is inadequate evidence of program effectiveness for most CSE programs. In fact, research has shown that most CSE programs appear to be more "policy-based" (or "ideology-based") than "evidence-based".
According to a paper entitled Comprehensive Sexual Health Education in Zambia as a Modality for Sustainable Development and Gender Empowerment a comprehensive sexual health education curriculum was designed to help Zambia achieve Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health & well-being),Sustainable development goal 4(Quality Edcuation) and sustainable development goal 5 (Gender Equality). In 2018 The National Aids Council (NAC) in North western province welcomed the introduction of comprehensive sexually education (CSE) lesson on sexual reproductive health in schools across the country.
Critics say CSE may seem fairly innocuous and even a good idea, although in countries where CSE has already been implemented (including the USA, the UK, Australia, Sweden, etc) it has become clear that CSE has a different and more sinister agenda, namely the radical sexualisation of our children. In this regard, the following statement by the American College of Pediatricians is insightful: "Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) goes far beyond sex ed, and is a dangerous assault on the health and innocence of children".
This is because unlike traditional sex education, CSE is often very graphic and promotes high-risk sexual behaviours as healthy and normal. For example, it is not uncommon for CSE programmes to teach children (as young as five years old!) to masturbate; to encourage acceptance and exploration of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities; to promote anal and oral sex, and teach that it is normal and safe; to promote sexual pleasure (including sexual responses towards inanimate objects, animals, minors, non-consenting persons, etc) and promiscuity as a right for children; to promote abortion as safe and without consequence; to promote condoms to children (as young as nine years old!) without informing them of their failure rates; to promote sexual counselling, information or services to minors without parental consent; to teach children and youth that they are sexual from birth; to train children to advocate for their "sexual rights" in laws and policies, etc.

News / South Africa
Who is in charge of Eskom right now?
The Gupta-linked Anoj Singh is reportedly taking day-to-day decisions, though it is not clear how he was given this responsibility.

After the public enterprises minister reportedly rejected the then Eskom chairperson Dr Ben Ngubane's suggestion that Zethembe Khosa be appointed the power utility's acting CEO, Eskom management appears to currently be without an ultimate operational decision maker.
Speaking for management, Khulu Phasiwe told The Citizen that the man at the centre of many #GuptaEmails and tender irregularities, and the only executive director on the board, chief financial officer (CFO) Anoj Singh, is, however, currently in charge of the day-to-day management of the Megawatt Park-based state-owned entity.
Weekend media reports detailed how, after Lynne Brown rejected Ngubane's recommendation, he twice threatened to report Brown to the president. The City Press reported that, on both occasions, Brown dared Ngubane to go ahead.
Aggravating the situation are reports that Eskom's five remaining non-executive directors, including acting chairman Zethembe Khoza, are apparently facing removal at the power utility's annual general meeting taking place this Friday.
Colin Cruywagen, speaking for Brown, said that the decision to apportion part of Eskom's group chief executive responsibilities to Singh is "an internal arrangement" taken by Eskom management.
He would not be drawn into whether the minister was in agreement with this decision save to say "she is still applying her mind". Cruywagen also reiterated that the minister had gone on record as saying she might "rotate" the board.
Business Day is reporting that the other board members, Dr Pathmanathan Naidoo, Chwayita Mabude and Giovanni Leonardi, are understood to have been left vulnerable by the departure of Ngubane and some of them being implicated in the #GuptaEmails saga.
"We could not let Eskom remain without management and, for that reason the CFO was put in charge of the organisation to ensure decisions are taken and work continues," Phasiwe said.
When queried on which structure, in terms of delegation of authority and the shareholder compact, had taken the decision to delegate Singh to steer the ship at Eskom, Phasiwe indicated that Khulani Qoma, who speaks on behalf of the board, could answer that question.
Qoma wrote in a message to The Citizen: "As required, the Board requested Anoj Singh to caretake certain aspects of the GCE's [group chief executive's] role pending the minister's interim appointment."
He did not, however, elaborate on what those aspects are and who else is 'caretaking' the balance of the GCE's responsibilities, but added that "the minister has decided to formally look at the corporate governance allegations as to enable the requisite progress in this regard".
Phasiwe dismissed speculation that, in the middle of a harsh winter, Eskom may not be able to keep the lights on.
"Should that happen, it won't be load-shedding, it could probably be pressure on the grid and cable theft," he said in reference to some west Joburg suburbs being without electricity over the long weekend.
In a related development, Brown reportedly filed a scathing affidavit in which she admonished former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe for his urgent bid in the Labour Court to have his removal overturned.
The public enterprises minister is rejecting the urgency of the matter as Molefe is "very wealthy" and he can "wait in line" like all South Africans for his matter to be heard at a later date as determined by the court.
The minister's about-turn is now seen as an attempt on her part to distance herself from the sheningans that saw Molefe's resignation being accepted by the minister, who consequently appointed Matshela Koko as the acting CEO, Molefe spectacularly returning to Eskom as CEO and the board's decision to reappoint him being rescinded by Brown.
In sharp contrast to the overwhelming support she had earlier heaped on Molefe, Ngubane and the board in May, Brown is now telling the courts the reappointment of Molefe – who had bizzarely served as an MP during the period he described as "extended leave" – was "suspicious".
She also states that she has lost confidence in the board. Questioning the contention by Molefe that he was entitled to early retirement in contravention of Eskom pension fund rules, Brown is challenging both Molefe and Ngubane to be subjected to oral evidence.
This will give Brown's legal counsel the chance to cross-examine the two men to explain under oath the events that led to Molefe's return to the power utility, despite him having told the nation earlier he was resigning to "clear his name" and in the interest of good corporate governance.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who was this morning expected to release findings into investigations of state capture that may cover the suspected looting of Eskom, on Thursday night told eNCA she, too, had been surprised by Molefe's return to Eskom without his name being cleared.
Mkhwebane was asked about her much-criticised statement that Molefe's departure had been a "loss".
Like Brown, Mkhwebane had apparently made a high speed U-turn, further telling the news channel that Molefe's return to Eskom was indeed questionable.

Thoughts on Sunday
Share All sharing options for: Thoughts on Sunday
Not much stakes action today as most tracks have pushed their top events to tomorrow's holiday.
-Pretty chalky day for me yesterday as it seemed like every race I looked at was won by low priced horses. That doesn't do much to help pad my bankroll.
-According to the DRF/Equibase results charts, Monmouth handled $8.3 million yesterday. I can't seem to find the article now, but before the meet began I recall one of the Monmouth officials stating that they hoped to double last year's daily handle, which would have put them in the $6 million per day range. So far, in the early going, they seem to be exceeding those expectations.
UPDATED 6/1: DRF.com ran an article today that quoted a former New Jersey Thoroughbred official who was instrumental in the re-organization of the Monmouth meet as saying that they hoped the track would hand $4.5 million a day this year. Through the first five days of the meet Monmouth is averaging $8.6 million.
-It was nice to see Atta Boy Roy run a second strong race at Churchill Downs this spring, even if he didn't quite have enough to hold off Riley Tucker in deep stretch of the Aristides. The Washington-bred will likely be pointed to the Breeders' Cup Sprint this fall after showing that he can hold his own against stakes quality competition. The Sprint division, at least right now, doesn't look to be overflowing with quality, so it's as good a year as any for an Emerald horse to try and make a splash.
-Marcus Armytage of the Telegraph (UK), is finding the talk of picking a winner in this year's Group 1 Investec Derby (English Derby) 'an impossible task', as he outlines in a column he wrote yesterday.
-I squeaked through day 3 in the Survival at the Shore contest at Monmouth Park. Today's contest races are the 8th, 9th, and 10th on the card.
In the first leg, race 8, I'm going to take a shot with 5-Richie Rules (6/1). He should like the class relief from his last effort at Gulfstream and he's shown he can run on or off of an early pace. With a decent amount of speed in this spot he'd probably fare best if he were to sit back and let the leaders come back to him in the stretch. The jock is ice cold at the meet (0-for-21), but we'll take a shot for the value.
The second leg, race 9, features a competitive field of ten going a mile on the lawn. 8-Sea Road (4/1) should be good enough to get into the top 3 and has a shot to grab the top spot if she can get the trip. The only bad race of her career is her only non-dirt affair; a win today would make it four in a row for the Stanley Hough trainee.
I feel pretty god that one of my picks in the first two legs will at least finish in the top three and push be onto the next day. As a result, I'm looking for a pure long shot play in the last leg and will play the 6-Ask the Moon (15/1). This field doesn't have a tremendous amount of speed in it, and the scratch of the 7-Manitoba Miss should ensure that things stay sane on the front end. Ask the Moon is severely outclassed by several in this field, but if she can gain a tactical advantage perhaps she can pull the surprise. I don't like the long lay-off and I have a feeling she's going to Irun out of gas after about six furlongs, but I'm willing to take a shot in this spot.

Atletico Madrid sign Colombia World Cup defender Santiago Arias
james henry August 01, 2018 sport
Atletico Madrid have confirmed the signing of Colombia right-back Santiago Arias from PSV Eindhoven on a five-year deal.
Arias, 26, helped PSV win the Dutch title last season, his third straight national triumph in the Netherlands.
He has made 173 appearances for them while winning 45 caps for Colombia, appearing at the World Cup finals in Russia.
Atletico confirmed the transfer after loaning Sime Vrsaljko to Internazionale, who could make his move to Serie A permanent at the end of the season.
"After two seasons defending our club, in which he has demonstrated his talent and sacrifice, we want to wish him all the luck in his new era with Inter, who have an option to buy the player," Atletico said in a statement.
Vrsaljko has spent two seasons with Atletico, but returns to Serie A following spells with Genoa and Sassuolo.
He also impressed in Russia, starting six of Croatia's seven games on their run to the World Cup final, where they lost 4-2 to France.

In conjunction with the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's death, theatres and institutions all around the nation and the world are involved in paying tribute to the "poet of love" in one way or another. Shakespeare400 is a national consortium encompassing the rich cultural, educational and creative organisation which is coordinated by Kings College London. Whether it's by reading poetry in public spaces, like the Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, or presenting theatre and film, every institute has its very own way of paying tribute to this exceptional being.
A local tribute was presented by our very own the Dukes at Lancaster. Over the years, over 300 adaptations have been immortalised in silent films and the Dukes offered the opportunity to view a selection of iconic scenes extracted from the BFI National Archive, offering viewers a peek into the unseen footages of films that have recently been digitised, brought to life by the addition of background music from composers and musicians of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. One starred Sir John Gielgud, one of the trinity of actors who dominated the British stages in the 20th century, whose first appearance into the theatrical scene was in Romeo and Juliet in 1924. We took a twirl at various British monuments and you were able to see the stark difference in terms of the quality of workmanship over the years, and we definitely saw a varied range of clippings, ranging from black and white to pastel paint coloured movies, which provided with only imaginative assumptions as to how productions would have been made way back when.
Also, what would a tribute be without present productions being screened of the Royal Shakespeare Company productions in commemoration of the bard's work. The Dukes are due to show live screenings of Cymbeline, King Lear and The Tempest. The screenings of the Dukes are very much in line with the consortium's goal in celebrating the richness of the plays, and how the interpretation and execution of the various plays have changed over the years.
Whether you're looking for a nostalgic blast to the past or you're looking to discover Shakespeare, the screenings are suitable for every audience. Furthermore, every Wednesday hence The Dukes are screening filmed adaptations of Shakespeare, including Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing. It's quite exuberating to learn that we possess the resources to Shakespearean drama right by our doorsteps.


This novella follows Karou's best friend Zuzana as she tries to win "Violin Boy" Mik's heart with a scavenger hunt and a few magical wishes.
I loved the frantic phone calls between Karous and Zuzana even though Karou wasn't a huge part of the story it was nice to see her small cameos and see how deep the friendship between the two girls runs.
Overall, this is a super cute novella that is very well written (as everything by Laini Taylor usually is) and while it is not necessary to the overall storyline it is one I wouldn't skip. I really enjoyed seeing more of Zuzana and Mik!
I read Unravel Me before reading Destroy Me and honestly I feel like the novella didn't add anything more to the story.
Destroy Me is written from Warner's perspective and we get to explore more of his thoughts and feelings regarding both Juliette and his father.
While it was interesting to read something from Warner's POV, he is my favorite character in the series, I didn't feel like I got to know him any better and I don't feel that his thoughts justified his actions in Shatter Me.
Overall, despite being a Warner fan I didn't enjoy this novella, it was simple and at times I felt like I was just re-reading what happened in Shatter me, if you're in doubt I would skip it.
I still haven't read Allegiant so please no spoilers in the comments. I'm actually reading these Four novella's from my library so that I can keep putting off reading Allegiant. I know eventually this will stop working but hopefully by that point I'll be ready to tackle the series finale.
The Transfer novella follows Tobias before his choosing ceremony and through his transfer to Dauntless. It was interesting to read something from Four's point of view and to find out more about his life with his abusive father. I also like watching Tobias receive his "Four" nickname.
Overall, I enjoyed this novella and plan on reading the other three in this series. It isn't a necessary read but I like Four enough that reading from his perspective is interesting and I like seeing what Dauntless was like prior to the events in Divergent.
I'm putting off reading Allegiant too, but I'm not taking steps like you are, just hiding the book out of sight :) I can't explain why I'm so scared of reading the last book, it's just HOLY MAMA THE LAST BOOK. How am I supposed to deal with this?!
Well, since the Four divergent collection short stories are now bound in one hardcopy, I might read that just so, you know, delay Allegiant. Also, it's FOUR and I'll read anything about him.
I've read the last two books, and I totally agree with your thoughts. I liked reading from Four's POV. Tris views him as a god, so it's quite different reading of him in a more different and personal light. Awesome reviews!
I have read Destroy Me and The Transfer. I love Warner and reading this before Unravel Me, helped to humanize in the story for me. Love these novella reviews!

(Yes! Magazine |Teresa O'Çonnor) Love your Mexican food? Traditional indigenous food from Mexico is misunderstood in the U.S.—and is actually among the world's healthiest.
Say "Mexican food" and many people have images of fried foods, smothered in cheese, with plenty of sour cream. It's delicious food but not considered particularly healthy cuisine that fights diseases. Two professors in the San Francisco Bay Area, however, believe traditional, indigenous food from Mexico (available before the Spanish colonists arrived) is misunderstood and is actually among the world's healthiest foods.It all started when Luz Calvo, professor of ethnic studies at Cal State East Bay, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. Her research led her to discover that Mexican women have some of the world's lowest breast cancer rates. And that immigrant Latinas had lower breast cancer rates than non-immigrant Latinas.
The cookbook combines ancient wisdom with modern-day conveniences.She began researching early Mexican foods extensively with her partner Catriona Rueda Esquibel, associate professor in race and resistance studies at San Francisco State University.
Together, they have written Decolonize Your Diet: Plant-Based Mexican-American Recipes for Health and Healing. The cookbook combines ancient wisdom with modern-day conveniences, using lesser-known ingredients such as jicama, nopales, and chayotes in creative ways. But it's more than that.
Teresa O'Connor: Researching traditional Mesoamerican cuisine became very important for you, Luz, after your breast cancer diagnosis. What were some of the most surprising things you learned?
Luz Calvo: I was quite concerned that one day my cancer would return, so I turned to research to learn about cancer-fighting foods. I found that there are so many phytochemicals in foods that help the body fight cancer. For example, anthocyanins (found in blueberries and both blue and purple corn) have powerful anticarcinogenic properties. Mesoamerican peoples grew many different kinds and colors of corn.
From reading the research, I became convinced of the importance of recovering the rich biodiversity of foods and learning about the potential of phytochemicals to prevent disease and increase my own chance of living a long life. Of course, I'm careful to explain that I am not advocating treating cancer exclusively with food, but there is no doubt in my mind that eating a plant-rich diet can help prevent many diseases.
O'Connor: Tell us about the Latina/o Immigrant Paradox. How did this information influence your research?
Calvo: Public health scholars have published hundreds of studies that prove recent immigrants from Mexico arrive in overall good health. These immigrants have low rates of overall mortality and incredibly low rates of infant mortality. Unfortunately, this good health declines after living in the United States for a long time, and the next generation (those born here) have the same poor health as others of similar socio-economic status in the U.S.
Pre-colonist cuisine was entirely gluten-free, dairy-free, and meat and fish were used sparingly.The Latino/a Immigrant Paradox led us to look carefully at the health knowledge and practices that immigrants bring with them—especially knowledge about food, recipes, remedios (home remedies), and so forth.
The Latino/a Immigrant Paradox is powerful, because it shows that one does not need to be rich to have good health. But one does need to be connected to ancestral knowledge and culture. Sadly, because of racism in the U.S., this ancestral Mexican knowledge is neither recognized nor valued.
O'Connor: How did pre-colonist Mexican cuisine differ from what many of us consider "Mexican food" today?
Calvo: Well, today's Mexican restaurant food often features beef, pork, cheese, sour cream, and white flour. Many dishes are fried or cooked in oil. Pre-colonist cuisine was entirely gluten-free, dairy-free, and meat and fish were used sparingly, as a condiment.
Food was not fried, but was instead boiled, steamed, or cooked on a comal (a clay griddle). Nixtamalized corn was the basis of the diet, supplemented with beans and squash.
Communities of color have been growing food for their families in urban environments for decades.In addition, Mesoamerican people ate a wide array of wild greens. The nahuatl word for edible wild greens is quelitl. When the Spaniards arrived, the word changed to quelite. Quelites are still foraged in communities both in the U.S. and Mexico. Some of these prized foraged greens are lamb's quarters, purslane, and watercress, but also include lesser-known greens such as romeritos and huazontles.
O'Connor: How can today's Latinas/os return to their cultures' food roots for physical and spiritual connection?
Calvo: We encourage young Latinxs to engage their oldest relatives in conversations about the old ways to try to recover family knowledge and traditions. Sometimes, our elders don't know the value of their knowledge. They think the old ways are no longer useful now that there are supermarkets, fast food restaurants, and Western doctors.
We should engage our elders in these conversations and value their knowledge. There is something very powerful about realizing that the tamales we eat today have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. This is just one example among many of indigenous knowledge that has been kept alive via family recipes. Cooking traditional foods is a way to honor our ancestors.
O'Connor: What worries you most about today's food system? What inspires you most?
Calvo: I'm mostly worried that we are developing a two-tiered system. Folks with money, especially here in the Bay Area, have access to beautiful organic produce and have the time to cook life-affirming meals. Meanwhile, poor folks are put in an impossible situation, trying to find ways to feed their families with scant access to produce but ready access to cheap, processed food.
That said, I'm inspired by all my neighbors who grow food in their front yards, in pots, and on balconies. In our neighborhood, a Mexican family grows chayote and nopales in their front yard, and their Chinese neighbors grow goji berries by their chain link fence and bok choy in plastic buckets.
We think this is one of the original "power bars." These amaranth treats date back to before the Conquest, when they were shaped into many forms, such as skulls, toys, and mountains.
Alegrías are sold today as bars or discs in Mexico City's tianguis, or open-air markets. The combination of nuts, seeds, and amaranth make this a high-protein breakfast.
Note: A candy thermometer is used in this recipe.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine popped amaranth with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and currants. In a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, cook honey and salt until mixture starts to foam up. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring constantly and watching pan so that honey doesn't foam over, until the temperature of the honey reads 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Working quickly, pour the honey over amaranth mixture and stir with a nonstick spatula to evenly coat. Spread amaranth mixture onto prepared cookie sheet, place another sheet of parchment on top and press down firmly to compress mixture. Then use a rolling pin to press mixture into a rectangular slab about 10 x 12 in (25 x 30 cm) and about ½ in (1 cm) thick. With a knife or pastry wheel, cut into rectangles about 4 x 2 in (10 cm x 5 cm) (and save trimmings as a tasty cook's treat).
Refrigerate for 2 hours. Then wrap bars in parchment paper. Store bars in airtight container in refrigerator.

Though statewide vital registration was mandated in 1899, Death and death records prior to 1917 are fragmented and inconsistent. Those after 1917 are deposited with the state's Bureau of Vital Statistics, as are most earlier Death and death registrations. That same office has jurisdiction over marriage records dated after 6 June 1927.


Situated directly along the St Lawrence with a beautiful view out to the sea.
A great park for Nordic walking, jogging, roller balding or biking! Situated directly along the St Lawrence with a beautiful view out to the sea. Must definitely be added to the to-do list!
The parks along the water offered pleasant walking areas but we were overjoyed to find the forest trails that started near the ball park. These trails were well marked and had interesting information about the plants in the area.

"Attack Wraps" are designed to provide an immediate reference for interior crews while also assisting with individual hoseline identification (red line, blue line, etc.) Although nothing replaces effective training and coupling identification based on feel, its hard to argue the immediate reference you get in dark and smokey environments with the Attack Wraps. Attack Line Pack includes 5 marked and 1 unmarked strip. Enough for 250′ of attack line, the pump panel, and the nozzle. Attack Wraps are constructed of highly reflective and adhesive 3M material with an added layer of laminate protection. They are designed to completely wrap the circumference of the female coupling of attack lines up to and including 2in. They will fit larger lines also but only in 10-inch sections. The arrows are positioned in a way so that they trim easily and cleanly trimmed to accommodate a variety of handline sizes. As we learned in fire school, the male connection always points towards the fire, so intuitively, when you wrap the female coupling, be sure the arrows are pointed in the same direction as the male connection.

A Playful Take on the Serious Harm of Facial Recognition: Teens, Young Adults from YR Media and Stanford d.school Design a Tool to "Erase Your Face"

October 20, 2020 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is a shaping force of the 21st century. It has the potential to address some of our biggest challenges and unlock new forms of creativity. But A.I. can also exacerbate humanity's worst traits, like bias and violence. BIPOC youth, girls, and first-generation college-goers are among the most under-represented in tech and A.I. specifically, yet they have the most to lose when design fails to lead with racial, gender and economic equity. As of 2018, Black and Latinx workers respectively made up only 9% and 7% of the STEM workforce.
To address potential bias and inaccuracies across A.I., a group of teens and young adults has invented a creative way to experiment with dodging facial recognition and sidestepping surveillance. YR Media, a national network of diverse emerging journalists and artists from underrepresented communities, teamed up with the K12 Lab of Stanford University's d.school to tell a fresh story about facial recognition software, an increasingly common A.I. application in our everyday lives.
YR Media's Interactive department approached this project with an important question: "What happens when the algorithms behind facial recognition show evidence of bias?" The young people at YR Media decided to take hold of the narrative and created a playful interactive "explainer" for their peers to address dead-serious implications. Test out "Erase Your Face" HERE.
"Erase Your Face is interactive, informative and sets out some quite innovative ways for its users to not only learn how facial recognition technology works and where it is being used, but importantly, it allows users to explore how to question the technology itself," said Dr. Simone Browne, professor at University of Texas, Austin and author of Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness.
"The whole time I was writing the code for Erase Your Face, I kept thinking about the best way for our design to convey the message — that we're giving away our data to Big Tech all the time, and we better understand what they're doing with it," said Devin Glover, a Fellow with YR Media's Interactive team.
"It was important to include Simone Browne's interview because her perspective helps our audience form new ideas and expand on what they know about facial recognition," said Ifalola Amin-McCoy, who joined the project through Stanford's d.school program matching graduate students to high schoolers in Oakland and other cities.
"The initial concept was: how do you beat the facial recognition system and what can you do to keep from being identified by a camera? The YR youth team came up with this drawing tool so users can physically test what it takes to go undetected," said YR Interactive instructor Marjerrie Masicat.
"Just as our organization champions underrepresented voices in the media and music industries, this interactive effort allows our young storytellers to question, and potentially course-correct, the direction of a technology that is increasingly ubiquitous," said Kyra Kyles, CEO of YR Media. "A.I. holds great promise, but that potential is squandered if we don't examine how it replicates or deepens systemic inequities."
The "Erase Your Face" project was made possible with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
