Berkeley Haas receives STEM designation for MBAs
Berkeley Haas is among the first business schools to receive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) designation for MBAs. The designation makes all international students who graduate eligible to apply for an additional 24-month visa extension during post-MBA employment.
Haas' STEM OPT extension is retroactive to December 2018.
All current international full-time MBA students studying on F-1 visas will be eligible to apply for the extension while they are in their first year of work authorization after graduating from the MBA program, said Peter Johnson, assistant dean of the full-time MBA program and admissions. Approval of the extensions will depend on the individual training plans that employers and MBA graduates submit, Johnson said.
"We anticipate that this will lead to expanded opportunities for our international graduates who pursue jobs incorporating business analytics, modeling, forecasting, and other skills developed through our program," he said.
The MBA programs received the STEM designation after a campus review of how the programs are categorized by the National Center for Education Statistics under a Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code.
The new code defines the Berkeley Haas MBA as "a general program that focuses on the application of statistical modeling, data warehousing, data mining, programming, forecasting and operations research techniques to the analysis of problems of business organization and performance." After the review, the Haas MBA degree programs were changed from "Business Administration and Management, General," to "Management Science," which is considered a STEM program.
The BIO STEM OPT webpage outlines the extension rules and application process for F-1 students, including information about the responsibilities of employers in the process.

Q: NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined I'm a seventh grade programmer so I may be missing a lot of things in this program, but for my coding club my instructor asked us to make a guess the number game. I have very limited knowledge on this subject, since I've only attended four classes. Anyway, when I run this program in Python IDLE 3.5 this is what it says:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\morrris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\guess_that_number.py", line 7, in <module>
name= raw_input()
NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined

I tried changing the code, but it seems to not like the raw_input().

A: For Python 3.x, use input(). For Python 2.x, use raw_input(). Don't forget you can add a prompt string in your input() call to create one less print statement. input("GUESS THAT NUMBER!").

Using these 5 tips on how travel with confidence will get you thinking differently about traveling. Because you've been thinking about it FOREVER!
You spend time visiting websites, reading about others' travel and longing to go to those places. You've told everyone who would listen that you're going and every time you say it, a nervous, scared feeling bubbles up inside. To conquer this feeling, you've bought luggage, planned an itinerary and look forward to boarding your plane.
Notice that you have not purchased a ticket even though you have every thing you need to go. Deep down inside you know that you don't have the confidence to go. Just the thought of traveling to a foreign country without knowing anyone, not knowing the language, not sure of the food, and not being sure of obstacles that might occur keeps you paralyzed.
This used to be me. I always longed to travel and at 27 I planned my first trip to go abroad and purchased the ticket, even though I was scared stiff. AND then, my saving grace, I received a notice from a mortgage holder demanding full payment or they would foreclose on the property. Now, it was decision time, keep the property or take the trip…I kept the property.
Thinking back on that now, I could have done both BUT this was a way out for me and I didn't have to face that fear. I didn't have to acknowledge my lack of confidence.
Many years later, I started traveling and discovered that my lack of confidence had no basis. My travels began in Southeast Asia and ended in the South Pacific. Traveling for fourteen months, I experienced a sense of freedom that until then had been elusive.
Get very clear about your reasons for traveling. Know where you most desire to go, study the language (if necessary), research the country, city, culture, and places you'd like to visit.
Determine what is causing your lack of confidence and name it. Write as many as come up for you. Do you think you will be lonely? What about safety concerns? Will communication be a problem? Sit with your list and ask, "Is this true?" Decide what is true for you and the reason. Often, just writing it down causes it to become mute.
If you're traveling solo, practice being alone. Practice in your hometown by pretending to be a tourist. What would a tourist want to see, do and experience. What are the historic places, restaurants, parks and other special to your town that tourist would enjoy?
Get EXCITED! Getting excited about your trip will help you to build your confidence. See yourself in all of the places you desire to visit. Feel the feelings you will have, the colors you will see and the food you will enjoy.
Have Fun! You are traveling because it is your desire. Traveling solo, you can do what you like when you like. Treat yourself to days of exploring and days of relaxing. Talk with locals and experience their culture with them.
Using these 5 Tips On How To Travel With Confidence will get you started on gaining the confidence you desire to travel. Have fun using these tips and journal about your experience.
Is travel insurance absolutely right for you?
Where do I find real local food?

Von Miller suspended six games for NFL policy violation
Published: Aug 20, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Gregg Rosenthal
Around The NFL Editor
The Denver Broncos will be without their best defensive player for the first six games of the season.
The NFL suspended Von Miller on Tuesday for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Citing a person informed of the negotiations, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday's edition of NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" that the league initially sought an eight-game suspension for Miller but settled on six.
Brooks: Life without Von
Can Denver weather Von
Miller's suspension? Bucky Brooks says the Broncos must tweak things on both sides of the ball. More ...
Rapoport later added that Miller now is in Stage 3 of the league's program and policy for substances of abuse and his next violation carries a minimum one-year suspension, according to a person informed of the player's situation. Per the policy, Miller will stay in Stage 3 for the rest of his career.
Miller released a statement through the NFL Players Association: "The substances of abuse policy requires everyone to comply with the rules. Although my suspension doesn't result from a positive test, there is no excuse for my violations of the rules. I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team, Broncos fans, and myself. I am especially sorry for the effect of my bad decisions on others.
"I will not make the same mistakes about adhering to the policy in the future," Miller continued. "During my time off the field, I will work tirelessly and focus exclusively on remaining in peak shape. I look forward to contributing immediately upon my return to the field and bringing a championship back to the people of Denver."
NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Monday, according to two sources, that a diluted sample caused Miller's most recent violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. The Broncos also could face financial penalties for repeated offenses. Breer is reporting that the NFL will have to decide whether or not the previous suspensions and penalties to team executives Tom Heckert and Matt Russell will be applied to the league's salary remittance policy.
The Broncos have had a rough preseason, with Miller's defensive teammates, Derek Wolfe and Champ Bailey, also suffering injuries. The team also is trying to make up for the departure of pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil in free agency.
Miller, who came in second place in last year's NFL Defensive Player of the Year voting, will be eligible to return to the Broncos in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts.

We live in interesting times. Although representatives of who we are is very well rounded, we are also isolated. Everyone stands for something and voices are original, and we are taking sides and committing to movements.
At least 3 years ago, I was wondering if this era would really create any history of revolution. Now I see that the revolution is in our voices and our bodies. The juxtaposition of what is considered beautiful is so different to the confidence the roles models I look up to possess.
NAME A TIME RECENTLY WHEN YOU SAID SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF / HOW DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
I am super critical of myself. I'm trying to change that attitude and take good care of myself, and think about how I affect people around me. I was in denial that I was making an impact at all, but because of social media accessibility girls reach out to me everyday asking me 'how do I do it' or that it 'inspires' them to see me. I have severe anxiety about being called 'beautiful ' for example, because I am fearful of not being talented or be a good person. But when I say thank you, to that compliment, it releases me of that anxiety and humbles me. So, I'm learning to accept love and the 'good' things about myself. Because apparently, I am making an impact . That motivates me.
I can only say for myself…being hard on oneself keeps us away from celebrating a moment of exchange and goodness. Being true. We are always defending ourselves or have an armour of protection to prevent us from making wrong choices. Also, the media painting unrealistic beauty standards doesn't allow young girls to celebrate being in their bodies.
Like I said, I'm learning to be grateful and say thank you with grace. Sometimes the simplest things take the longest. I got bitter about some people rejecting who I am and even though the survivor in me took it in stride, I carried that in my heart. As I lead with my head, things are getting back to simple things like cherishing loving admiration.
HOW DOES SOCIETY REINFORCE THE IDEA WE ARE NOT ENOUGH AND HOW CAN WE TAKE THAT POWER BACK?
Just block everything including people who do not understand or respect you. Time is short and we are here to learn with open minds and self respect. Do anything without regret, and be hopeful beyond boundaries of your own fear of rejection and acceptance. At the end of the day, no matter who's around you, we come in to this world to be our own voices, and learning to live gently is optimum goal. We should be lucky if we get to leave an impact at all. So yeah time is short, society naysayers are not coming in between me and my dreams, and definitely not in my grave.
It's important to stand for something and be of use. We need people to make something positive, co-created together.

Q: Loading an element. After that loading another element into the loaded element i built a website where my frame, with the main menue and the banner, is always exisiting.
I created a div element, in which i can load everything i want dynamically.
But now i have a problem. If somebody clicks a link, i want to load a html document into my div-frame. When this has been done, a another html document should be loaded into a part of the new loaded html document.
The rask is now, to check when the first div element has been loaded and load something into this element.
An Example:
$("#examplelink").click(function()
{

$("#mainsite").load("firstlowerside.html");

$("#firstlowerside_div").load("secondlowerside.html");

});

Javascript is ignoring the command line:
    $("#firstlowerside_div").load("secondlowerside.html")
, because the "firstlowerside.html" isnt already exisiting at this thime.
Can somebody tell my how i can check is the document has been loaded into my div and start executing the second command after this?

A: .load has a complete callback parameter you can pass a function that will fire after the content is loaded.
$("#mainsite").load("firstlowerside.html", function(){
    $("#firstlowerside_div").load("secondlowerside.html");
});

Uceny Seeks Fresh Start with Return to U.S.
A disappointing track season ends with strong road Mile results; looking ahead to 2014 and beyond
By Peter Gambaccini, Runner's World
Morgan Uceny, the #1-ranked female 1500 meter runner in the world in 2011, had worked with coach Terrence Mahon as part of the Mammoth Track Club in the mountains of California. Late last year, she, Anna Willard and Mahon's wife, Jen Rhines, followed him to Great Britain, situating themselves in Loughborough, England, when Mahon took a job as lead endurance coach of British Athletics. Last week came the news that Mahon is leaving that position and returning to the United States.
So is Uceny. "I've known for a few weeks it was all happening," she said in New York on Friday, referring to Mahon's decision. "So when I came here yesterday, I had packed all my stuff to bring with me. I'm not exactly sure where I'm going yet" for the long-term, at least. "The plan is to go on vacation for a few weeks, home [to Indiana], and then I'm going to go out to Mammoth Lakes and do my altitude training in the fall." But after that, said Uceny, "I'm not exactly sure where I'm going back to."
She does know what she aspires to do in 2014, a year without a global outdoor track championship. "I'm actually really looking forward to indoors, and making the indoor World team is kind of my main goal," Uceny said. "I might not take as long of a break as I usually do and try not to gain as much weight as I usually do -- try and keep some kind of semblance of an athlete there so I can come back in better shape."
That gently self-deprecating comment was a bit easier for Uceny to make well into September than it would have been earlier in summer. On September 14, she had won a Mile – mostly a road Mile, with a track finish – in 4:33.97 at Newcastle's Great North CityGames, defeating a field that included 2013 World Championships 1500 meter bronze medalist Hellen Obiri of Kenya. 'It's really nice getting a win in a good field after I've had such a frustrating season," she commented.

Former Goldman Sachs Partner Mike Novogratz Launches Crypto Merchant Bank
Wall Street investor Mike Novogratz has announced that his crypto merchant bank will soon be listed on Toronto's TSX Venture Exchange.
Former Goldman Sachs partner Mike Novogratz has announced that he will soon be launching a crypto-focused merchant bank under the title "Galaxy Digital LP". The company will also simultaneously go public early August under the ticker GLXY on the Toronto-based TSX Venture Exchange. A former Wall Street investor, Novogratz, has always held a bullish perspective on cryptocurrency and, more so, blockchain technology as a whole.
While Novogratz initially planned to launch the bank several months ago, he faced stiff resistance from regulators. After realizing that he could not operate an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States in the absence of two years' worth of audited financials, he moved north to Canada instead. However, even that was not an easy endeavor, with the process getting dragged on for an extended duration. In the time since, Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency market has lost at least 50 percent of its peak valuation.
Novogratz reflected on the effects of the delay in an interview with Bloomberg. He said,
If I knew what I know now, knew the crypto markets were going to swoon as much, and it was going to take so long, I might have stayed private for another year or so and then gone public.

A Test Run on Canadian Soil
The firm first sold shares in a private placement earlier this year at $5 apiece. The increased scrutiny by the Canadian regulators eventually pushed the date of listing back from April to August. Nevertheless, Galaxy will soon be listed on the stock market through a reverse takeover of a separate shell company.
Eventually, Novogratz hopes to have the bank listed on stock exchanges around the world, including at Frankfurt, London, and Hong Kong stock exchanges. Bloomberg quoted him as saying, "We're going to be a global company; we want to be globally traded."
For now, though, Novogratz remains curious about how Canadian traders will respond to the listing. Given that cryptocurrency prices have fallen on the whole since his initial plans formed, it may take a while before the company sees success on the trading floor.

The study aims at defining the role of soluble CD95 Ligand in the physiopathology of a rare group of inflammatory diseases: ANCA associated vasculitis. Soluble CD95 Ligand might have a prognostic and diagnostic interest as well as potential for the discovery of new therapeutic strategies.
ANCA associated vasculitis are a rare group of diseases and potentially life-threatening inflammatory conditions. There is an urgent need to describe prognostic factors and to discover new therapeutic pathways. Soluble CD95-L is a cleaved part of CD95-L which binds the CD95 Death receptor. s-CD95-L has pro-inflammatory properties for Th17 lymphocytes and Neutrophils, two cells implicated in ANCA associated vasculitis. It also plays a role in systemic lupus erythematosus (which present with the same type of renal glomerulonephritis as ANCA-associated vasculitis). Finally, it has already be found elevated in this group of diseases. The investigators hypothesized that s-CD95-L levels might be a prognostic factor in ANCA associated vasculitis and the study of the molecular mechanisms involved could provide new therapeutic targets.
The study will recruit 50 patients with ANCA associated vasculitis followed in Bordeaux University Hospital. Among classical disease activity information, blood and urine samples will be collected at each visit to study s-CD95-L. Fundamental research will be realized on patients' sample to study molecular mechanisms involved.
Clinical and biological disease activity, treatment and outcomes will be studied in correlation with s-CD95-L to describe their potential prognostic role. Patients will be followed at regular intervals, as their usual follow-up would request. No extra visit will be needed and blood samples will be drawn at the same time as those drawn for clinical purposes.
Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score - Version 3 (BVAS 3.0) The Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) is a method for assessing the activity of vasculitis. Note that scoring ranges are higher when any of the features are new or worse. Creatinine levels can be scored at patient's first assessment only. The maximum score is 63 points for present symptoms and 32 points for new symptoms or symptoms which had worsened within the previous weeks.

/ Japan shipbuilding pins comeback hopes on zero-emissions vessels – Nikkei Asia
Japan shipbuilding pins comeback hopes on zero-emissions vessels – Nikkei Asia

Imabari in race against Chinese and South Korean rivals as market goes greener
TOKYO — With decarbonization emerging as a priority in the traditionally emissions-heavy shipping industry, Japan's Imabari Shipbuilding aims to launch a cargo vessel that runs entirely on ammonia by 2026.
No ammonia-powered ships have been built to date, but the fuel is considered a key green energy source for the future. Imabari looks to take a lead in the cutting-edge field both in terms of technology and rule-setting, possibly regaining some of Japan's market share in shipbuilding lost to China and South Korea over the last several decades.
Imabari unit Nihon Shipyard will develop a bulk carrier capable of carrying over 200,000 tons, designed to transport iron ore and other cargo. It will be built at Imabari's Saijo shipyard in Ehime Prefecture.
Hydrogen-powered vessels also run without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But liquefying hydrogen so it can easily be transported means cooling it down to minus 253 degrees C and carries a risk of explosion. Hydrogen also releases less energy when burned than heavy oil, so ships would need to quadruple the size of their fuel tanks to travel the same distance on hydrogen, which in turn means less cargo space.
Meanwhile, liquid ammonia would need to be cooled to minus 33 degrees C. It releases more energy than hydrogen when burned, so ships would only require 2.5 times as much fuel storage than if they were running on heavy oil.
Imabari's new ship will come with plenty of cargo space as well as a newly developed storage tank that prevents ammonia from evaporating. Partner trading house Itochu will set up refueling stations at various ports so the ship can top up a smaller tank more frequently.
Because ammonia tanks need to be extremely airtight, Imabari's ship is expected to cost at least 30% more to build compared with a conventional cargo vessel. Still, the company expects significant demand as more shippers and logistics providers seek to curb emissions during the shipping process.
Japan's shipbuilders controlled 53% of the global market at their peak in 1984, according to IHS Markit. But that figure has since dropped to less than 10% with the rise of cheaper Chinese and South Korean competition. Mitsui E&S Holdings has decided to essentially stop building commercial ships. Japan Marine United will stop building new ships as well.
Japanese players are now also feeling the heat in next-generation cargo ships, with rivals like China's state-owned Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company and South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries believed to be making inroads with ammonia. Imabari will work closely with international rule-setting organizations in hopes of gaining an edge in commercializing the technology.
Ammonia is toxic. Even small amounts of it in the air can cause asphyxiation, and safeguards such as preventing the fuel from entering cabins will be critical for real-life use in ships. Imabari aims to partner with groups like the American Bureau of Shipping and the Norwegian-German DNV to establish technical standards for the vessels ahead of its competitors in order to attract more orders.
Ammonia is expected to account for 46% of energy consumed in shipping in 2050, up from the 8% projected for 2030 and more than double that of hydrogen, according to the International Energy Agency. Many shipping companies are already making plans to incorporate the fuel into their fleets.
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines plans to acquire an ammonia-powered vessel in 2028, two years ahead of its previous schedule. It will invest 900 billion yen ($8.18 billion) by 2035 to create a 110-vessel fleet running on ammonia and other next-generation fuels.
"We expect ammonia-fueled engines to be developed in 2025 and for vessels equipped with those engines to become available around 2027 or 2028," said Toshiaki Tanaka, chief environment and sustainability officer at Mitsui O.S.K.
"The development of ammonia-fueled ships is advancing faster than expected, and we may be able to adopt the technology before 2034," said Takaya Soga, senior managing executive officer at Nippon Yusen. The maritime shipper hopes to deploy an ammonia-fueled car carrier as early as fiscal 2029.
Factoring into this shift among marine shippers are new goals among automakers to decarbonize the entire life cycle of vehicles from production and transport all the way to disposal. Volkswagen requires shippers to use vessels that burn liquefied natural gas, which emits less carbon dioxide than fuel oil.
With shipping clients poised to make further decarbonization demands, marine transporters and shipbuilders are taking the initiative in responding to those stipulations.
Development is moving forward on ammonia fuel engines. MAN Energy Solutions, based in Germany, seeks to commercialize an ammonia engine for large vessels in 2024. In Japan, Mitsui E&S Holdings is developing an engine that will be supplied to Imabari.
LNG is currently the fuel of choice for fielding green ships. LNG emits 20 to 30% less carbon dioxide than fuel oil. But as the marine shipping market has slumped in the recent past, "Japanese shippers have stalled in deploying" LNG ships, said a source at Imabari.
China has meanwhile expanded the adoption of LNG ships, and it appears that almost all container ships use that fuel. Because Chinese shipbuilders have developed technology to make LNG tanks at low cost, Japanese rivals cannot easily make up ground in this field over the short term. Japan's ability to take the lead in launching eco-friendly ships for the next generation will likely determine whether the national shipbuilding industry will sink or stay afloat.

Q: Infer generic type argument from parameter type of function in TypeScript I want to create a toPlainObject() function in TypeScript and have come up with that working example:
function toPlainObject<S extends D, D>(source: S) {
    return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(source)) as D;
}

Now I can invoke the function like this:
interface ISample {}
class Sample implements ISample {}

let plain: ISample = toPlainObject<Sample, ISample>(new Sample());

Now the question: Is there a way I could declare toPlainObjectwithout the need of the first generic type argument S extends D by using the first parameter type (which is S) so that I could invoke the function by just doing:
let plain: ISample = toPlainObject<ISample>(new Sample());

The signature function toPlainObject<D>(source: S extends D) { ... } does not work and results in a syntax error.

A: Maybe I misunderstand what you are after, but I don't see why you can't just do:
interface ISample {}
class Sample implements ISample {}

function toPlainObject<TInterface>(source: TInterface) : TInterface {
    return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(source)) as TInterface;
}

let plain: ISample = toPlainObject(new Sample());

Also your sample works for me no problem (TypeScript 1.8.10)
interface ISample {}
class Sample implements ISample {}

function toPlainObject<S extends D, D>(source: S) {
    return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(source)) as D;
}

let plain: ISample = toPlainObject(new Sample());

Massive relief bill leaves some industries happy, others disappointed
By Alex Gangitano - 12/21/20 06:43 PM EST
The unveiling of a massive coronavirus relief package on Monday drew praise from some business groups, while others criticized Congress for not including their top priorities as the pandemic stretches into 2021.
Travel and entertainment companies secured sought-after provisions, but public sector unions and independent restaurants were largely left out of the $900 billion bill.
Here is how major industries fared in the COVID-19 relief measure.
Airlines got a $15 billion boost and an extension of the Payroll Support Program, a key provision from the CARES Act that expired in October.
In order to receive the $15 billion in aid, airlines will have to call back any employees who were furloughed in October. That means tens of thousands of airline workers are likely to head back to work very soon.
The legislation also provides $2 billion to airports. Airports Council International-North America said airports are "grateful" for the forthcoming influx of cash for a hard-hit industry.
The struggling hotel industry praised the inclusion of $284 billion for a second round of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that help support small businesses.
American Hotel & Lodging Association CEO Chip Rogers said the bill provides "a critical lifeline for hotels," and the Asian American Hotel Owners Association, the largest hotel owners association in the country, celebrated the PPP's increased loan amounts.
The package also expands the PPP to allow for destination marketing organizations to qualify for loans, a top priority for the U.S. Travel Association.
The relief package creates a $15 billion grant program for live venues, independent movie theaters and cultural institutions. Advocates have pushed for this program since July.
The National Independent Venue Association, which represents more than 3,000 independent venues and promoters, applauded the inclusion of the bipartisan Save Our Stages Act in Monday's package.
"We're thrilled that Congress has heard the call of shuttered independent venues across the country and provided us a crucial lifeline by including the Save Our Stages Act in the COVID-19 Relief Bill," Dayna Frank, the group's board president, said in a statement.
Alcohol producers
One of the many tax provisions in the legislation is a permanent excise tax reduction for alcohol producers, a top priority for the industry ever since a temporary cut was included in the 2017 GOP tax bill. Those tax cuts had been set to expire on Dec. 31.
"This is a huge sigh of relief for struggling craft distillers who have been on pins and needles awaiting the outcome of these discussions. While not yet a done deal, making the reduced tax rates permanent will serve as an economic lifeline for beleaguered small distilleries that have had their tasting rooms shut down for months," said Distilled Spirits Council CEO Chris Swonger.
The relief bill also reinstates the deduction on business meals through January 2023, which Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America Senior Vice President Michael Bilello called "a win for family-owned businesses."
"Anything that gets people spending money in our nation's restaurants should be applauded at this juncture," he said.
State and local governments
The National Association of Counties expressed disappointment that the package did not include new funding for public sector front-line workers.
"Our message today is the same as it has been since the beginning of this pandemic: a coronavirus relief package without aid for state and local governments fails counties and our residents, whose lives and livelihoods are on the line," the association said in a statement.
Democrats dropped their demand for another round of state and local aid earlier this month when Republicans dropped their demand for liability protections for businesses against coronavirus-related lawsuits. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellGraham calls on Schumer to hold vote to dismiss article of impeachment against Trump Rove: Chances of conviction rise if Giuliani represents Trump in Senate impeachment trial Boebert communications director resigns amid Capitol riot: report MORE (R-Ky.) on Monday said he will "insist" that liability protections be included in any coronavirus deal next year.
Democrats have argued that states and cities will still benefit from provisions in the relief package by way of the $82 billion it provides for colleges and schools.
Public service worker unions
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the largest union of public employees, said the bill is a "slap in the face" for its workers because of the lack of funding for state and local governments.
The deal doesn't include more money directly for state and local governments. Instead, it includes $1.6 billion to back local government efforts to distribute the vaccine and to conduct coronavirus testing and contact tracing.
"The pandemic blew holes in budgets nationwide. Unlike the federal government, states and localities cannot run deficits. Already, 1.3 million front-line public service workers have been thanked for their heroism with pink slips, with more than a million more on the chopping block," AFSCME President Lee Saunders said in a statement.
He noted that front-line public service workers such as nurses, first responders, sanitation workers and correction officers have "risked their lives" and emergency funding for essential services is critical.
Long-term care facility residents and workers are at the front of the line to receive the vaccine but were not included in the relief package.
The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living, which represents more than 14,000 nursing homes and assisted living communities, criticized the lack of funding for personal protective equipment, testing and payroll support.
The association noted that nearly two-thirds of long-term care facilities are operating at a loss due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The restaurant industry was split in its reactions.
The package does not provide direct funds to restaurants and bars, despite the restaurant industry lobbying for an industry-specific fund throughout the pandemic.
"This bill falls woefully short of giving 11 million independent restaurant workers the job security they need before the holidays," said the Independent Restaurant Coalition.
The National Restaurant Association, however, said it is pleased with the legislation, calling it a "big win for restaurants."
"The plan includes several items that will benefit restaurants, most importantly a second round of access to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), with unique provisions aimed to assist the restaurant industry, which continues to endure unparalleled job and revenue losses," the association said.
The PPP will also allow restaurants to seek forgivable loans based on 3.5 times monthly payroll costs, as opposed to based on 2.5 times monthly payroll costs, and will allow restaurants to qualify for the loans if they do not employ more than 300 employees at each physical location.
The package extends a provision of the CARES Act that allowed for a tax break of up to $300 given to charity in addition to the standard deduction through 2021.
The National Council of Nonprofits applauded the extension, as well as other provisions, but said the package doesn't do enough because it limits nonprofits' access to PPP loans.
"The bill is far from enough. PPP eligibility is more limited than the first round, continuing to deny midsize and larger nonprofits any relief and turning away many organizations that remained open to deliver services only because of first-round PPP funding," CEO Tim Delaney said.
It also includes an extension of the 50 percent coverage of unemployment costs for reimbursing employers until March, but Delaney said that without providing full relief for unemployment costs, nonprofits will have to lay off more workers.

What Causes Edema Above the Eyes?
Edema, also known as swelling, can appear near the eyes. In some cases, the swelling may affect the upper and lower eyelids or only one eyelid. In some cases, only the area just above the eye may appear swollen. The variety of locations edema may occur does not typically change what may have caused the swelling in the first place. Knowing the causes for the edema around the eye may help prevent the condition and also determine if a person needs immediate medical attention.
Allergies often affect the eye, causing not only redness, itching and watering, but also swelling around the eyes, says The University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. The reaction occurs when the immune system over-reacts to the presence of allergies. People may react to many different things in the air, such as pollen, pet dander or perfume. Edema will often decrease with the use of oral antihistamines or other allergy medications. For some people, however, they may need an allergy eye drop to reduce swelling and any other eye symptoms. Most pharmacies sell oral allergy medication and allergy eye drops that do not require a prescription. If these medications do not relieve symptoms, the person should contact an eye doctor to determine further treatment, which may include prescription allergy tablets or eye drops.
An eye infection caused by bacteria or a virus may also cause swelling, says the American Optometric Association. These infections, called conjunctivitis, or more commonly "pink eye," may have additional symptoms. These may include severe redness, irritation, discharge and light sensitivity. Many people do not require medications to resolve the infection, and the swelling will go down as the condition improves. However, some people with a bacterial infection may need antibiotic eye drops, particularly with severe infections that include significant swelling. Eye drops will not cure a viral infection in the eyes, but if symptoms persist or worsen, a doctor may prescribe a steroid eye drop to decrease swelling and other symptoms.
A serious condition called orbital cellulitis may also cause severe edema and other complications. This occurs when an infections infiltrates the tissues around the eye, including the tissue and muscles behind the eye itself, says MedlinePlus. The eyelids will often have discoloration, turning a red or purple color. The area may also have a shiny appearance as the edema causes the skin to tighten. Other symptoms include high fever and pain. A person with the condition may have a hard time moving her eyes without pain, and her eyes may appear to pop out. Orbital cellulitis requires immediate medical care since it can lead to serious, vision-threatening or even life-threatening complications. Treatment will usually include multiple doses of antibiotics given through an IV, which typically requires a hospital stay.

Q: scala, Initializing abstract vals the book "Programming in Scala, Third Edition, Martin Odersky" gives this example on page 449:
trait RationalTrait {
  val numerArg: Int
  val denomArg: Int
  require(denomArg != 0)
  private val g = gcd(numerArg, denomArg)
  val numer = numerArg / g
  val denom = denomArg / g
  private def gcd(a: Int, b: Int): Int =
    if (b == 0) a else gcd(b, a % b)
  override def toString = numer + "/" + denom
}

and then it explains that the following code fails because the trait is initialized before the anonymous class, and so, denomArg is still 0.
new RationalTrait {
  val numerArg = 4
  val denomArg = 24
}

and it provides two solutions. One solution is to use pre-initialized fields:
new {
  val numerArg = 4
  val denomArg = 24
} with RationalTrait

the second solution is to modify the trait to use lazy values, as follows:
trait LazyRationalTrait {
  val numerArg: Int
  val denomArg: Int
  lazy val numer = numerArg / g
  lazy val denom = denomArg / g
  override def toString = numer + "/" + denom
  private lazy val g = {
    require(denomArg != 0)
    gcd(numerArg, denomArg)
  }
  private def gcd(a: Int, b: Int): Int =
    if (b == 0) a else gcd(b, a % b)
}

new LazyRationalTrait {
  lazy val numerArg = 4
  lazy val denomArg = 24
}

However, this simpler solution also works. I wonder why they did not mention this solution. Is there any drawback in this?
new RationalTrait {
  lazy val numerArg = 4
  lazy val denomArg = 24
}

A: I would consider your solution as more consistent comparing to the second option (mentioned on page 453 of Programming Scala, 3d ed.):
trait A {
  val x: Int
  lazy val y: Int = x
  val z: Int = y
}

new A { val x = 1 }.y        // ==0 ?!!!
new A { val x = 1 }.z        // ==0 ?!!!

vs
trait A {
  val x: Int
  val y: Int = x
  val z: Int = y
}

new A { lazy val x = 1 }.y   // ==1
new A { lazy val x = 1 }.z   // ==1

At least I don't need to remember that lazy vals can't be used in non-lazy constructs in the base class. Looking at the bytecode I don't see any obvious problems with your approach since in the latter case x is effectively defined as def so it already exists when initialization starts in the base class.

Japan/South Korea – Europe multimodal route has options for new branches
This September the recently tested multimodal route between South Korea and Poland becomes a regular service. It already has the potential to be extended with new branches. Katarzyna Uklejewska-Krawczyk from PCC Intermodal explains the main features of the multimodal route and its prospectives.
The history of the new route started a year ago when the test multimodal connection between Japan and Poland was launched. In May 2019 the sea-rail service from Yokohama to Wroclaw was organised by RZD Logistics, FESCO and PCC Intermodal on a regular basis. This summer the route received a new branch – to South Korea. At the end of June, the test containers departed from the South Korean port of Pusan towards Poland.
Soon, the South Korean multimodal service will be provided regularly. "Starting from September, the first product will be officially announced to the market and fully available on regular basis for all the producers and importers", Uklejewska-Krawczyk from PCC Intermodal said.
Her company, a Polish subsidiary of the Duisburg-based chemicals, logistics and energy corporation PCC SE, has provided intermodal services in Poland since 2005. It is also FESCO's official partner and the only agent in Europe. Therefore, PCC Intermodal is responsible for the Polish section of the multimodal route between South Korea and Europe.
Text continues below the picture.

New Cherry Road
Katarzyna Uklejewska-Krawczyk notes that the new regular service will be offered to the customers twice a week. Such a schedule will be available until the end of the year. Afterwards, RZD Logistics, FESCO and PCC Intermodal will discuss the option to increase the frequency. Eventually, it depends on freight volumes on the New Cherry Road. In such a half-joking way, PCC Intermodal names the new Japan/South Korea – Europe service. This name was inspired by the Japanese and Korean tradition to admire the cherry blossom.
The brand new service includes three modes of transportation. Initially, the containers are delivered from South Korea (or Japan) to the Russian seaport of Vladivostok using the shipping lines of FESCO. Then they are transported by rail to Poland via Trans-Siberian Railway and Belarus. At the Brest/Malaszewicze railway border crossing, they are reloaded from flatcars compatible with the Russian gauge (1,520 millimetres) to wagons running on the European gauge (1,435 millimetres). The final railway point in Poland is Brzeg-Dolny station in 30 kilometres northwest from Wroclaw. The third mode of transportation, lorries, is used for the last-mile service in order to deliver the containers from Brzeg-Dolny railway station to the customer's warehouse in Wroclaw.

The test journey on the Japan/South Korea – Europe multimodal route took 21 days. However, Russian Logistics intends to perform the service within 19 days: 2 days are required for the sea transportation between South Korea and the port of Vladivostok, 2 days – for ship-wagon handling and customer proceeding in the port, 10 days – for rail transportation from Vladivostok to Brest, 2 days – for wagon-wagon handling and customer proceeding, the remaining 3 days – for rail-lorry transportation within EU.
PCC Intermodal states the delivery time depends on the final destination. Currently, both Japanese and South Korean multimodal solutions terminate in Wroclaw. However, the containers from these Asian countries could be delivered to other European cities thanks to the rail connections of PCC Intermodal. "From the Polish/Belarusian border, PCC Intermodal ensures the intermodal connections to all most important European destinations," Uklejewska-Krawczyk adds. As a result, the freight could be supplied from Poland to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Sweden including such important logistics hubs as Rotterdam (seven times a week), Antwerp (six times a week), Hamburg and Duisburg (five times a week to each destination).
With the help of the test South Korea – Poland multimodal service, products of the electronic industry have been transported. This type of freight will remain the main one when the logistics solution becomes regular. At the same time, PCC Intermodal expects to attract other cargoes.
"We see a lot of different industries are interested to test the alternative way of transport like machinery, vehicles and spare parts. Containers make no limits, it is possible to transport almost all kinds of goods", Uklejewska-Krawczyk specifies. The total market between Japan/South Korea and the EU is estimated at more than 5 million TEUs a year. "Even a small share of this amount can bring quite a good volume to railway connection", she adds.
European Silk Road Summit
Do you want to know more about the New Silk Road and the connection to Japan? On 26 and 27 November the European Silk Road Summit takes place in Venlo, the Netherlands. Representing PCC, Dariusz Stefańsk will present the new intermodal connection between Europe, Japan and Korea.
At this two-day international event more than 35 speakers and around 250 delegates will share their experiences, expertise and latest news. Registration for the event is now open. The programme and speakers can be found on the website.

KEYWORDS 1953 Studebaker restoration The Body Shop@
For 15 years, Gary Gerberding has always had at least one honey-do on his list: Keep working on that 1953 Studebaker. But it was a labor of love as well as a honey-do, even before he got started.
Gerberding owns The Body Shop in Grand Island, Neb., and he began restoring the Champion Starlight Coupe in 1995 for his wife. They had owned the coupe for a few years after spotting it in a junkyard. Gerberding's wife Liz had an older brother Neil, and Neil had driven her around in his own '53 Studebaker back in the day. Liz dreamed of the day when she and Neil could hit the roads in her Champion Starlight.
Unfortunately, like so many bodymen, Gerberding's personal project frequently took a back seat to whatever vehicle he was working on for a customer. "You know how it is: You work on everybody else's car all week long and your own car comes last," he says. But Gerberding never forgot that his wife was waiting for a car like the one her brother had once owned.
Despite the pressures of paying work, Gerberding worked on the Starlight every week, for a few hours here or a whole day there, sometimes alone, sometimes with other employees of the shop, and often with his son Dean and his grandson Anthony, until February of this year. That's when Dean finally applied a coat of Cyber Green Pearl paint to every curve of the body, and Liz Gerberding got to cruise again in the car of her youth. Neil had unfortunately died before Gerberding finished the job, but his nickname "Flip" is on the Studebaker's dashboard so that he's always with his sister.
The Gerberdings didn't exactly buy the Studebaker originally. Liz explains that they didn't so much pay for it as they got clear title on it for digging it out of a junk pile. The frame was there, but not much else, and many summers and winters had taken their toll on what remained of the panels. So Gerberding had to rebuild the car practically from the ground up. "I started with basically junk: no interior, no floors," he says. Still, even in Liz's picture captioned "Ugly Beginning," you can see the clean lines and the hint of power in the coupe.
Finding parts wasn't a problem, because Gerberding made most of the parts he needed, including the panels, the floorboards and all the sheet metal work. The rest he found, such as the rear bumper, which came from a '55 Studebaker somewhere in Iowa. The headlight rings came from a '55 Oldsmobile; the taillights from a '56 Chevy.
The body is mostly Studebaker, but the innards have their share of parts from other cars: The engine is a Chevy Quadrajet 350 with automatic overdrive transmission, while the rear axle assembly comes from a Ford. The fuel tank is all Mustang.
Inside, the bucket seats (courtesy of a Corvair) and back bench are covered with off-white leather, with green lap belts and a tilt column and steering wheel painted to match the seats.
Gerberding put about $85,000 into the car, so he figures it's worth at least that, but Liz probably won't want to sell the car of her dreams anytime soon. Someday, the couple will take a cruise down the California coast, and Gerberding already knows of one possible buyer for it. "Most likely, someday, someone in LA will own it, but not today," he says.
Gerberding's interest lately, rather than restoration, is in car part art. He made a table out of a red and white steering wheel (with a glass top and a hubcap for a base) and lamps out of kerosene cans, and his finest creation is a headlight that he made into a lamp with a 25-watt bulb.
Gerberding readily admits that the Studebaker was probably his last restoration job. He retired in April, putting the finishing touches on some metal finishing, paint and other final jobs for other customers. "I've been a bodyman for 51 years," he explains. "I'm 70, so it's time to slow down." With a car like the Studebaker out on the road, why not?

Am I a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty?
Patients suffering from excess and loose skin on the lower abdomen of both men and women is very stubborn and resistant to diet and exercise. No amount of discipline or healthy lifestyle can tighten this excess skin for many patients. A slimmer abdominal contour can only be achieved through an abdominoplasty/tummy tuck procedure.
A good candidate for abdominoplasty is one who has loose abdominal skin as a result of pregnancy, drastic weight reduction or normal signs of aging. It is important to note that an abdominoplasty/tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or exercise. You should lose the weight you plan on losing and wait until you are done having children before considering a tummy tuck procedure.
During your initial consultation, Dr Totonchi will provide all the information as well as set expectations for patients. He will determine if you are a candidate for a mini-tummy tuck or a full abdominoplasty. Both procedures will improve your contour but you may not be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck. The main difference between these two procedures are the length of the incision, the area of the abdomen that you will notice muscle tightening improvement, the belly button, and the recovery time.
A full abdominoplasty has an incision from hip to hip with muscle tightening from just below the rib cage to the pubis, with a scar around the navel. The recovery time is longer with a full abdominoplasty due to more extensive work and surgery. Most people feel ready to return to work in 2-4 weeks and return to full activity in 4-6 weeks. The abdominoplasty procedure starts with an incision that is made on the lower abdomen, above the pubic area, and the excess skin and fat is removed. The underlying abdominal muscles are then tightened by suturing them together to achieve a leaner appearance. The navel is then repositioned prior to pulling down the skin to remove any more excess tissue. Drains are then placed under the skin to help collect any body fluid accumulation after the procedure. You will be given a drain record and will be shown how to empty those drains and keep a log.
The mini abdominoplasty has a shorter surgical incision, with less improvement in muscle tightening and tightening since only the skin below the umbilicus is tightened. There is no scar around the navel since it has not been repositioned. The recovery period is shorter for the mini tummy tuck and people feel ready to return to work in 1-2 weeks with full activity in 3-4 weeks.
You will be required to order a compression garment that Dr Totonchi will choose from Marena Comfort Wear. You will order this to have with you the day of surgery and you will go home wearing your garment. This garment is generally worn for 4-6 weeks.
What Should I Expect After Abdominoplasty?
The results of an abdominoplasty are noticeable immediately after the procedure and people can appreciate their slimmer and leaner appearance. You can and will have some swelling to the abdomen for 4-6 weeks while healing.
Standard postoperative exams are scheduled for all our patient a week after surgery. The wound dressings and drains will remain intact until your first post operative visit. You will keep your compression garment on until seen at that same visit. Dr Totonchi reminds his patients to take it slow and regulate their activities until they have healed completely.

When Fifteen Design were approached by Alora Focus for a new website design, we were honoured to take this opportunity to help the charity develop, giving them an online presence that would allow their community to access important information and support.
Our aim was to design a friendly and relaxing environment where the user can access the support and information needed with ease.
It was lovely to hear back from Alora Focus about how this new website design will help the charity and all of those who visit it.
"We know that the website will be a great source of information to our members and I am sure they will feel less isolated when they are going through chemotherapy and radiotherapy as they will be able to access info or keep in touch and not miss out just because their having treatment.
We hope the charity continues to flourish and raise support for their cause.

Scarleteen Confidential: The Safer Sex Drawer
An easy way to both normalize safer sex, and make sure that the young person or people in your home have access to basic safer sex and contraception they may need is to have some of those basics in your home, somewhere where everyone can easily find and see them.
双重保险:同时采用两种避孕措施
你已經知道的避孕方法不為100%,有效地防止懷孕。你可能也知道,不過,有可靠的方法,如果使用得當,這是非常有效的,而且如果你正確和堅持使用避孕措施,懷孕變成了一大堆的可能性較小。但你可知道,通過加倍和使用兩種方法,幾乎你使用任意組合,可以得到強大的接近100%,大部分組合?
Morning-After Misunderstandings
Labels inside every box of morning-after pills, drugs widely used to prevent pregnancy after sex, say they may work by blocking fertilized eggs from implanting in a woman's uterus.
But an examination by The New York Times has found that the federally approved labels and medical websites do not reflect what the science shows. Studies have not established that emergency contraceptive pills prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the womb, leading scientists say. Rather, the pills delay ovulation, the release of eggs from ovaries that occurs before eggs are fertilized, and some pills also thicken cervical mucus so sperm have trouble swimming.
If you've wanted/needed to use emergency contraception, have you had any trouble getting it?
I've used it before and gotten it without any trouble.
I've wanted it, but didn't know how to get it.
I've wanted it, but couldn't get transportation to go get it.
I've wanted it, but couldn't afford it.
I've wanted it, but was refused by a doctor or pharmacist.
I've wanted it, but felt too embarassed to seek it out.
I've wanted it, but thought I'd be refused or harassed, so didn't try to get it.
I've wanted it, but was too afraid or nervous about side effects.
I've wanted it, but had trouble getting it for some other reason (tell us in the comments!)
I've never wanted or needed it.
Back Up Your Birth Control Backup Day
Yeah, we meant to say that. Boy do we wish we didn't.
Here's the spiel: it's Back Up Your Birth Control Day today, but as you may have heard, or personally experienced, here in the states, we're still having a lot of trouble with pharmacists refusing over-the-counter Plan B (emergency contraception, the morning-after-pill, or whatever you like to call it), for a whole bunch of reasons, including because of age, even though most of those asking for or about it are of legal age to get it over-the-counter, and without a prescription.
Ready for arguments about increasing your access to Plan B? We can help.
You may have heard that the FDA may finally remove age restrictions for the morning-after emergency contraception pill in the United States. If you've heard that, you may have started to hear some panic or fear-factoring, not just gratitude and relief.
