Q: Timing of ParallelDo versus Do: simple example I'm trying to understand why a simple do-loop takes substantially longer when done in parallel than sequentially:
count = 0;
SetSharedVariable[count];
AbsoluteTiming[Do[count++, {nn, 100}]]
Print[count]

Out[493]= {0.000176, Null} (\*Time in seconds*)
Out[494]= 100 (\*The result*)

Whereas if I do
count = 0;
SetSharedVariable[count];
AbsoluteTiming[ParallelDo[count++, {nn, 100}]]
Print[count]

Out[497]= {0.391256, Null}  (\*Time in seconds*)
Out[498]= 100 (\*The result*)

Could someone please explain why ParallelDo takes 0.39 seconds whereas Do takes only 0.00017 seconds?
Thanks!

Nothing is more ordinary than a paper bag, which is why these hats are so extraordinary. The Hawaii artist Moses (shown right, modeling Halley's Hat, made to honor the astronomer) crafted more than 250 of them in a remarkable creative outburst that lasted almost ten years.
Moses says he "feels like the luckiest guy in the world" because he was given "The Paper Bag Hat Assignment." He can't explain why, but throughout the 1980s he was obsessed with paper bag hats. He saw designs in trees and in mountains. Some are quite simple — just a bag cleverly folded and shaped into a head covering. Others, like Anthurium and Gothic Knight, rely on the bag's crisp texture to hold intricate pleats. Quite a few, such as Two/Flat Knight, are held together with vast quantities of white glue. Waiting for the glue to dry was the most tedious part of the construction process.
Local merchants gladly donated bags, and Moses used thousands. The rays of Sun Rook were made from at least 100 paper bags, which were twisted tightly, bent in half and glued onto a form, so that more than 200 points bristle from its crown. To achieve the soft texture of Beethoven and Dahling, bags were twisted and crumpled repeatedly until the fibers just gave up and the paper became like flannel. Moses did so much folding and twisting that he developed serious tendonitis. At the time, Moses lived in a Chevy van and used the project room of the local library as his studio.
Periodically, he'd fill his van with the current crop of chapeaus, drive down to Hapuna Beach with a borrowed camera and ask passersby if they'd like to be photographed wearing one of his creations. People's reactions were always positive. Perhaps they caught a dose of Moses' infectious enthusiasm. The bulk of his Crowning Glory collection is owned by the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, California. Martha Longenecker, the museum's founder and director, marvels at these "imaginative, amusing, whimsical and timeless sculptural forms."
Moses is one person who can suggest you put a bag over your head without your being insulted.

It's time to celebrate the love of your life. You know the one you dance with in the rain, the one who fills your heart and your days with love. That's right it's time for Valentine's Day. Are you having trouble thinking of ways to show the one you love how you truly feel? Are you tired of the traditional candy and flowers? Do you need ideas for the big date? Well, here are some suggestions for you from your friendly neighborhood Richmond home builder Boone Homes.
Things just aren't built the way they used to be. Have you had that thought recently as the latest gadget that you bought fell into pieces in your hands? How many toys did your children get for Christmas that are already broken? It seems when I was a child that they built toys to be indestructible, but toys just like cars and homes seem to be built with less pride and care in their craftsmanship these days. It's sad, but it seems that most things are only built to last long enough to outlast the warranty – if it even has one.
Never Shovel Snow in Roanoke Again !
After last winter's record breaking snowfall across the state and the rare White Christmas we had this year, you must be thinking of all the snow ahead of us this winter. If you're looking for Roanoke real estate, but don't want the hassle of shoveling snow, then look no further than the Coach Homes of Southwood; Boone Homes' No Maintenance Community in Roanoke. During our last snowfall in December, I drove through the Southwood community (of course after several hours of shoveling my own driveway and clearing snow off my car), and what did I see? All of the driveways were clear of snow and the sunshine was melting what little ice was left. These homeowners have realized their dream of never shoveling snow in Roanoke again.
Boone Homes is proud to be an ENERGY STAR® New Home Construction Partner, offering Energy Efficient packages in both the Richmond and Roanoke real estate markets. Many are familiar with the blue ENERGY STAR® on household appliances like a refrigerator or dishwasher. People know that if they see the blue star the appliance will use less energy and therefore cost less to run than traditional appliances. But what does it all mean when it comes to new home construction? In a nutshell it means the same thing; ENERGY STAR® qualified homes will use less energy than a traditionally built house and therefore will result in lower energy bills. But that's not all; an ENERGY STAR® house will be more comfortable and healthier for your family by controlling the air and moisture within your home.
The showcase inventory home located at 14113 Charter Landing Court will not last long. The home, constructed by Richmond home builder, Boone Homes, features a splendid and functional floor plan melded with luxury and practicality. The first floor study can provide a private business oasis without sacrificing proximity to the family or can double as another bedroom for the occasional holiday guest. The placid master suite bath will provide relaxation for even the most stressful of days. The soaking tub can drown away difficulties and events while renewing the spirit. No need to get out of the tub, however, your separate shower will help for the days on the go.
I don't know about you, but I have been budgeting my money lately, and carefully scrutinizing every purchase that I make. I think we all have been choosing items more carefully, and making sure we get the best value for our dollar; but, sometimes it's hard to know what the best value is. If something is cheaper, maybe the quality isn't as good, or maybe there are hidden costs. Have you ever seen a commercial advertising a new car at some ridiculously low price, and think: "What's the catch?" There's always a catch, right? If you investigate, you find out that you really can't purchase a car for that price — unless of course you don't plan on needing an engine or tires. Sometimes it can be the same way in the housing market: The lowest price for Richmond new homes isn't always the best value.
Boone Homes, a Richmond home builder, is building immediate delivery showcase inventory homes even when many other builders cannot. At Haywood Village in Charter Colony, Boone Homes has currently built and finished 3 showcase inventory homes. Each home has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 3,000 to 3,100 finished square feet with additional unfinished space for storage. The owner's suite enjoys a private bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, two large walk-in closets and a relaxing sitting room for late night reading. The gourmet kitchen is designed to enhance work flow while interacting with the rest of the family. Each home has a first floor study for that late conference call or work from home day.
The golden years are to be enjoyed and celebrated with the important people in our lives. Home maintenance and yard work should not fit into the "important" and "celebrate" category of this stage of life. For this very reason Richmond home builder, Boone Homes, intentionally designed the Courtyard Homes in Tarrington on the James. These villa homes are designed to accentuate life, not maintenance. The Tarrington Courtyard Homes have two predominant characteristics our architects kept at the forefront of their design of this neighborhood.
Luxury One-Floor Living in Richmond Va.
One-floor, luxury living used to be a dream that very few achieved; however, you can make this dream a reality by choosing Richmond home builder Boone Homes to construct your new abode. Boone Homes offers luxury living that meets your lifestyle. For example, at Bellingham at Twin Hickory, our luxury one-floor living can make life easier for you and your family.
Sometimes it is difficult to say no to someone when they invite you to an event, or ask a favor. Even if you really don't want to, you feel an obligation to say yes. But, maybe it is time to start saying NO. Life is too short, and time is the most precious thing we possess. So, why give it away to obligations that aren't your heart's desire? Richmond home builder, Boone Homes, makes it easy to say no to the things you hate to do with our No Maintenance communities. By saying yes to Boone Homes, you can start saying NO to pulling weeds, NO to mowing grass, and maybe best of all this winter, NO to shoveling snow. Unless your heart's desire is to cut grass in the summer and shovel snow in the winter — What is keeping you from saying NO — No Maintenance living that is? Now that you've decided on enjoying a maintenance-free life, all you have left to do is decide which Boone Homes' Richmond new home community is right for you.
On Thursday, December 9th, 2010, the Roanoke Regional Homebuilders Association (RRHBA) had their annual Christmas dinner, and Toys for Tots Celebration. At this festive event, they announced the winners of the Members of the Year Awards, and Boone Homes' Vice President and General Manager, Ronald J. Boothe was honored with the award for Builder of the Year.
Come Home to a Boone Home in 2011 !
Have you started writing your New Year's Resolutions yet? Where will you be in 2011 ? What goals have you set ? Maybe they are the usual, lose some weight, quit smoking, eat healthier — we all have our own personal goals we want to meet in the coming year. Maybe the changes need to start at home. Is your current home meeting all the needs of you and your family ? Many of us are displeased with our homes and our living space, and it clutters up many areas of your lives. A new home can give you more space you need for that exercise room, or a new home office can give you time to do those projects at home, and keep you from staying at the office so late. A new home offers so many ways to improve your life, and your family's. It could be just the change you need for the New Year !
We build Richmond new homes designed with your family in mind. Just visit The Village of Haywood in Charter Colony (click here to view neighborhood) to experience the large lots yourself. Ranging from 1/3 acre to over ½ acre, each home site leaves you plenty of space to build a snow main, play on your swing set, shot some soccer goals or simply relax on the patio with a glass of lemonade. Take a family walk to the neighborhood park or an evening stroll on the community sidewalks.

Mac Siúrtáin, aka Mac Jordan and Jordan, is the name of a Connacht family of Norman-Irish origins.

Ancestry

The family take their name from the Norman knight, Jordan de Exeter, whose descendants became known as Mac Siúrtáin - the Gaelic form of Jordan - and were based in County Mayo.

The de Exeter's were originally from the town of Exeter, Devon, and are recorded in Dublin and Meath from the 1230s onwards. They included Henry de Exeter, Mayor of Dublin c.1240-41; Michael d'Exeter, Bishop of Ossory 1289-1302; Richard de Exeter, killed 1287; Sir Richard de Exeter, died 1327; and Sir Stephen de Exeter, fl. 1280-1316.

Mac Jordan of Gallen

The descendants of Jordan de Exeter settled in Connacht, mainly in what is now  County Mayo. The territory they conquered, Gailenga (later known as the barony of Gallen), was the southern part of Luighne (also known as Sliabh Lugha), whose lords were the clan Ó Gadhra. The de Exeters expelled the Ó Gadhras into Coolavin, County Sligo, while the clan Ó hEaghra retained the name Luighne for their territory to the north.

Becoming steadily Gaelicised over a number of generations, the family as a whole were known as the Mac Siúrtáin (or Mac Jordan, i.e., the sons of Jordan). Only the chief of the clan was entitled to be called de Exeter.

John de Exeter/John na Conairte Mac Jordan is commonly believed to be the common ancestor of all Jordans of Connacht, except for a family called Mac Jordan Duff, descended from Jocelyn de Angulo.

Chiefs of the Name

 John Mac Siúrtáin, died 1394.
 Thomas Mac Siúrtáin, fl. 1497.
 Thomas Dubh Mac Siúrtáin, died 1584.

As national and regional economies strive for sustainable development, the need for metrics to measure regional wealth and to measure the regional outcomes of policy impacts is critical. Energy Rich Regions pose a particular need for regional capital assessment as policy makers seek to convert short term natural resource capital into longer term produced and human capital development. Current approaches to appraising regional wealth contain substantial data voids and rely heavily on estimation. The research explores the potential of geospatial technologies and related Global Spatial Data Infrastructures as empirical approaches to regional wealth estimation for monitoring regional economic policy outcomes.

Coronavirus Replace: World COVID-19 Instances High 39 Million As A Examine Of Promising Remedy Finds It Doesn't Cease Sufferers From Dying
Michael October 18, 2020

The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 worldwide surged over 39.4 million on Saturday, a day after a clinical study found that therapy is seen as showing promise because it has no impact on mortality in hospitalized patients.
The study conducted by the World Health Organization found that Gilead Sciences Inc.
GILD,
Remdesivir as well as hydroxychloroquine and AbbVies
ABBV,
Lopinavir / ritonavir and interferon had "little or no effect" on all-cause mortality, ventilation and length of hospital stay in 11,330 participating patients.
The results were presented in a preprint, which is medical research that has not been peer-reviewed. The Food and Drug Administration has approved remdesivir as a COVID-19 treatment based on a clinical study conducted in the United States that found the drug may be able to reduce recovery times.
It had also issued emergency approval for hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment, although it was lifted this summer. The WHO study was first published on Thursday by the Financial Times.
In a statement released after the FT story was published, Gilead questioned the validity of the study data, saying it was "concerned that the data from this open-ended global study has not been subjected to the rigorous scrutiny that is required to convert to enable a constructive scientific discussion, especially given the limitations of the test design. "
However, according to the analyst at Raymond James, Gilead's answer is wrong.
"We would hope that Gilead will re-examine the SOLIDARITY trial rejection and reassess the clinical value of remdesivir in the context of these new data," they told investors in a notice.
The news comes as the US counted more than 69,000 infections on Friday, the highest one-day number since late July, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
On Thursday, the U.S. recorded 63,610 cases, breaking 60,000 for the first time since August.
New cases are growing fastest in the Midwest. More than half a dozen states, including Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana, report record highs for one day.
Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers urged residents on Twitter to "put science and public health before politics," telling them to wear face masks and limit trips.
He also cited an October 11 White House report on Wisconsin that said, "Failure to comply with these measures will result in preventable deaths."
Andrea Palm, secretary for the Wisconsin Department of Health, told a briefing that hospitals in some parts of the state are already 90% busy.
Forty-four states and the District of Columbia currently have higher case numbers than they did in mid-September, the Washington Post reported, as the virus spreads to rural areas.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated the recommendations for the upcoming holidays, saying Americans should consider the number and frequency of COVID-19 cases in their community, see if others are socially distant and wear face masks, and that Take into account the location from which people are coming when planning meetings.

• More than 1,000 current and former officials in an elite disease control program at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have signed an open letter expressing their dismay at the country's response to the Covid-19 pandemic in public health and calling on the federal agency to play a more central role, the Wall Street Journal reported. "The lack of national leadership on Covid-19 is unprecedented and dangerous," reads the letter signed by current and former CDC Epidemic Intelligence Agency officials for outbreak investigators. "CDC should be at the forefront of a successful response to this global public health emergency." The signatories included two former CDC directors: Jeffrey Koplan, who led the agency under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and Tom Frieden, who served under President Barack Obama.
• A Berlin court has suspended a planned curfew on bars and restaurants in the German capital to curb an increase in COVID-19 cases, Reuters reported. The Berlin local government announced last week that it would impose a night curfew from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. "The curfew has been suspended for the time being because the court considers it disproportionate in view of other measures to combat the pandemic," said a spokesman for the administrative court in Berlin. The court found no evidence that a curfew would have a major impact on bars and restaurants that adhere to the rules for wearing masks and social distancing. Paris and other French cities will be subject to an even stricter curfew from 9:00 p.m. until 6am for the next four weeks.
• Switzerland set a record of 3,105 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, a record for the second day in a row, the Guardian reported. The alpine nation and neighboring Liechtenstein now have 74,422 confirmed cases and 1,823 people have died.

• The coronavirus pandemic was a central theme while dueling city halls on live television Thursday night with President Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden. Biden, who appeared on ABC, continued his attacks on Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic and his disdain for safety measures like face masks. "A president's words matter," Biden said during the Philadelphia event hosted by ABC News. "When a president doesn't wear a mask and makes fun of people like me when I wear a mask for a long time, people say," Well, it doesn't have to be that important. "Trump, who appeared on NBC, commented on his experience with COVID, saying his lungs were" a bit infected "and he had" a little bit of a fever. "However, he couldn't answer for sure if he was on the day of the first debate took a COVID test with Biden and didn't definitely answer if he would support "herd immunity" as a strategy to fight the disease.

• A growing chorus of critics are targeting herd immunity after the Trump administration called reporters earlier this week to propose a theory based on it, MarketWatch's Jaimy Lee said. The White House denies having considered a herd immunity strategy. Herd immunity occurs when 50% to 90% of a population becomes immune to a virus. The idea is that once people are infected they would develop protective antibodies as part of their recovery. The virus would then theoretically lose mobility as fewer and fewer hosts are available. However, with a highly contagious and sometimes fatal virus like SARS-CoV-2, it also means the loss of potentially hundreds of thousands of lives. "Without a vaccine, many people would have to die of COVID-19 before population immunity is achieved," wrote two professors in an editorial in The Lancet last month.
The coronavirus has caused the deaths of 1.1 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins data, while 27.1 million people have recovered since the outbreak began.
The US, which has 4% of the world's population, has 8.05 million confirmed cases out of a total of 39.4 million, or about 20%. The US is also leading through deaths with 218,618 Americans lost to the virus.
Brazil has the second highest death toll at 153,214 and ranks third with 5.2 million cases. India ranks second at 7.4 million and third at 112,998.

He said he wrote the letter to clear up confusion about the vaccine candidate's development and approval.
What is the economy saying?
Sales in U.S. retail stores rose in September and rose for the fifth straight month as Americans bought more clothes, went out to eat, and bought new cars and trucks, suggesting an economic recovery was still underway early in the fall. Jeffry Bartash from MarketWatch reported.
Retail sales rose 1.9% last month, the government said on Friday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast an increase of 1.2%.
Aside from the large auto segment, retail sales were still quite strong, up 1.5%.
Although retail sales have quickly returned to pre-crisis levels and have been processed faster than expected so far, many economists fear that disappointment is imminent. People are returning to work more slowly, the coronavirus is spreading quickly again, and Washington failed to pass a second coronavirus alleviation law, creating new concerns for the health of the economy.
"The unexpectedly sharp rise in retail sales of 1.9% last month suggests that the economy had more momentum than expected in the fourth quarter," said US economist Michael Pearce of Capital Economics. "However, we are cautious about events in Europe as a reminder of how quickly virus cases could recur, which could dampen the US recovery."
Regardless, industrial production fell for the first time in five months in September, which surprised economists who had expected the factory sector to grow more steadily, MarketWatch's Greg Robb reported. Industrial production fell 0.6% in September, the first decline in four consecutive months of growth, the Federal Reserve reported on Friday.
According to a survey by MarketWatch, the decline was well below Wall Street's expectations of an increase of 0.4%. Production remains 7.1% below pre-pandemic levels.
Eventually, Americans grew more concerned about a coronavirus resurgence and slower attitudes in early October, but optimism that the economy will improve over the next year brought consumer sentiment to a pandemic high.
The preliminary reading of the consumer sentiment index rose this month from a revised 80.4 in September to 81.2, the University of Michigan said on Friday. This is the highest level since March when the pandemic hit the US.

The car rental company, which was an early victim of the pandemic when it filed for bankruptcy in a travel burglary, secured $ 1.65 billion DIP (debtor-owned) funding. Up to $ 1 billion of the DIP can be used to provide equity for vehicle purchases in the United States and Canada, and up to $ 800 million can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The financing requires the approval of the bankruptcy court. "This new financing provides additional financial flexibility as we continue to manage the impact of the pandemic on the travel industry and take steps to optimally position our business for the future," said Chairman Paul Stone.

Welcome to Waldorf
By Mathias Maurer, November 2017
Once again almost 7,000 pupils are joining a class 1 in a Waldorf school. And their parents are looking expectantly to their future with many questions. How will my child develop? Will they learn? With what qualifications will they leave school? Was the decision to send them to a Waldorf school the correct one?
Every Waldorf school is different: some have more of an arts and crafts orientation, others tend to be more intellectual. City Waldorf schools have a completely different aspect from rural ones, which might also be linked with a farm. Then there are Waldorf schools which are intensely committed to inclusion while others take hardly any children with disabilities or divide the pupils into different streams after the class teacher period. There are schools which were founded on the initiative of parents or teachers and as a result varied in their character from the beginning.
But the crucial factor for the development of the child will not be the published profiles and mission statements but the invisible inner attitude of parents and teachers. Because every school is only as good or bad as the teachers and parents who are part of it. Ever since John Hattie's Visible Learning and Hartmut Rosa's Soziologie der Weltbeziehung (Sociology of our relation to the world) there can be no doubt: the personality and its effects are the be all and end all of education. Learning itself here occurs only as a side-effect. It is a disaster for a school when ultimately parents and teachers do not pull together.
What differentiates Waldorf education from other systems of education, however, is its spiritual background and specific view of the human being, in the context of which Rudolf Steiner stipulates an even more radical approach: the child is taught and the teacher learns – and he formulates an educational creed: "Accept the child with reverence, bring them up in love, and let them go in freedom."
The teacher serves simply as a role model and companion in the individual learning process which becomes all the easier the more they free their mind of all educational ideas and intentions and display the greatest interest in what they are teaching. In other words, education is a practical discipline, a didactic art. While the teacher should prepare their lesson, once in the lesson they should forget what they intended to do and enter into what is happening at that moment, dealing with the questions that arise for the pupils.
That all sounds rather utopian in comparison to what happens in the everyday reality of school when the children are undisciplined, did not get enough sleep and are lacking in concentration, and the voice of the teacher can hardly compete against the volume of noise in the classroom.
If teachers see themselves as lone warriors they will find it increasingly difficult to master the situation. If they see themselves as part of the whole ecosystem of the children and parents with their varying life circumstances, a common sense of being in a learning community arises. Welcome to Waldorf.
I like to be informed of further comments!

Q: How to get the list of jms queues from Summary of Resources table of jms module in weblogic? I need to print the list of jms queues of the jms module. I use this code to look up the needed queue and get parameters but how to get the names of all queues and print them?
Properties env = new Properties();
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "host:port");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "username");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
    InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(env);
    Destination queue = (Destination) ctx.lookup("jms_queue");
    JMSDestinationRuntimeMBean destMBean = JMSRuntimeHelper.getJMSDestinationRuntimeMBean(ctx, queue);
    out.println("count: " + destMBean.getMessagesCurrentCount());

A: In Java (via JMX) it would be:
import weblogic.management.mbeanservers.domainruntime.DomainRuntimeServiceMBean;

...
JMXServiceURL serviceURL = new JMXServiceURL("t3", hostname, port, "/jndi/" + DomainRuntimeServiceMBean.MBEANSERVER_JNDI_NAME);
Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
h.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
h.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
h.put(JMXConnectorFactory.PROTOCOL_PROVIDER_PACKAGES, "weblogic.management.remote");
MBeanServerConnection bco = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(serviceURL, h).getMBeanServerConnection();

DomainRuntimeServiceMBean domainRuntimeServiceMBean = (DomainRuntimeServiceMBean) MBeanServerInvocationHandler.newProxyInstance(bco, new ObjectName(DomainRuntimeServiceMBean.OBJECT_NAME));
DomainMBean dem = domainRuntimeServiceMBean.getDomainConfiguration();
JMSSystemResourceMBean[] jmsSRs = dem.getJMSSystemResources();

JMSServerMBean[] jmsSvrs = dem.getJMSServers();
for(JMSServerMBean jmsSvr : jmsSvrs){
  System.out.println("JMS Servername: "+jmsSvr.getName());
}

for(JMSSystemResourceMBean jmsSR : jmsSRs){
  System.err.println(jmsSR.getName());
  QueueBean[] qbeans = jmsSR.getJMSResource().getQueues();
    for(QueueBean qbean : qbeans){
      System.out.println("JNDI NAME: "+qbean.getJNDIName()+" queuename : "+qbean.getName());
    }
}

Example from here

A: I once used WLST scripts to display all JMS Queues within a Weblogic Domain. Probably you can try something like:
connect('AdminUser', 'AdminPW', 't3://AdminURL')
easeSyntax()

allJMSResources = cmo.getJMSSystemResources()
for jmsResource in allJMSResources:
    module = jmsResource.getName()
    print "MODULE", module
    QList = jmsResource.getJMSResource().getUniformDistributedQueues()
    for queue in QList:
        print "QUEUE", queue.getName(), " JNDINAME", queue.getJNDIName()

> Home / Resources / Accessing autism funding and services in Ontario
For more than 20 years, the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) has provided funding and services for children and youth under 18 years of age with autism, along with their families and caregivers.
The OAP is currently in a transitional phase as it moves toward becoming more comprehensive, needs-based and family-centered. At this time, families can access a variety of services and supports – more details are below.
What you need to know about available services
The new needs-based OAP has five service streams:
1. Core Clinical Services
What it is: Core Clinical Services include behavioural services, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and mental health services.
Who is eligible: Currently, 600 families are taking part in a needs-based funding pilot. By fall 2022, 8,000 children and youth are expected to receive funding to purchase Core Clinical Services. In addition, many families also have access to Interim One Time Funding to purchase services for their child.
How to access: Care coordinators will be responsible for guiding your family through the determination of needs process to determine your child's support needs and associated funding for core clinical services and supports. Once the funding is received, families may spend it on eligible Core Clinical Services. Families have flexibility to choose their service provider. Families receive an invitation letter to access needs-based funding for Core Clinical Services. To register for services offered at Surrey Place, visit our autism services page or call 1-833-575-KIDS (5437).
2. Foundational Family Services
What it is: Foundational Family Services include a wide range of programs aimed at providing families with the tools to support their child and participate in their ongoing learning and development. Services include:
Family and peer mentoring
Caregiver workshops and follow-up coaching sessions
Brief, targeted consultations
Transition supports
Family resource and clinic days
Who is eligible: Foundational Family Services are available to all families registered in the OAP at any point based on their needs. These services are provided at no cost.
How to access: To register for services offered at Surrey Place, visit the MySurreyPlace.ca client portal or call 1-833-575-KIDS (5437). There's no limit to the number of times families can access Foundational Family Services.
3. Caregiver-Mediated Early Years Services
What it is: A variety of services that help caregivers with young children learn how to implement strategies and techniques to teach young children new skills. All programs are play-based, child-led and developmentally appropriate.
Who is eligible: All children 12-48 months old who are registered in the Ontario Autism Program can receive this program free of charge.
How to access: Invitation letters are sent to all eligible families. When families receive an invitation letter, they select the program best suited for their family and child. Next, they register directly with a service provider offering that program.
To register for services offered at Surrey Place or to learn more, visit the Toronto Autism Services Network website. Families can register directly on the site.
4. Entry to School Program
What it is: A six-month group-based program designed to prepare young children entering kindergarten or grade 1 for the first time. Offered free of charge, the goal of this program is to help children develop school readiness skills, including communication, social skills and behaviour management. Families and educators will also be able to access consultation services from Entry to School program staff, as needed, during a child's first six months in school.
Who is eligible: Children between three to six years old who will be starting kindergarten or Grade 1 for the first time.
How to access: Eligible families will receive an invitation letter from the Ministry. When a family receives an invitation letter, they select the program best suited for their family and child. Next, they register directly with a service provider offering that specific program. To register for services at Surrey Place or to learn more, visit the Toronto Autism Services Network website. Families can register directly on the site.
5. Urgent Response Service
What it is: This program provides access to supports intended to help prevent crisis and reduce the risk of a child or youth harming themselves or others. It is not designed to replace emergency or crisis services. Eligible children and youth and their families can receive up to 12 weeks of free supports, which may include interdisciplinary consultation, service coordination, respite services, or direct services to the child and family.
Who is eligible: This program is designed for eligible children and youth who are experiencing a specific, urgent need.
How to access: To register for services offered at Surrey Place, visit our Urgent Response Service page or call 1-833-575-KIDS (5437).
How do changes to the OAP impact funded behaviour plans?
Some families who were registered with their regional provider prior to April 1, 2019, continue to receive funded services under the old OAP guidelines. Families currently receiving behaviour plan extensions are already registered in the new OAP. Behaviour plans can be extended for six-month periods until families transition into core services in the new needs-based OAP. The Ministry recently announced that behaviour plan extensions may continue until spring 2023, after which time families will be transitioned into the new needs-based program.
At any time, families can choose to end a behaviour plan and instead transition to Interim One Time Funding.
How are supports different for families who registered in the OAP after April 2021?
Families who registered on and after April 1st, 2021 have been placed in the new needs-based OAP. Most of these families are now waiting for their invitation to access Core Clinical Services. Families will then be able to spend that funding on eligible Core Autism Services, including behavioural services, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy or mental health services. These families are also able to access Foundational Family Services, Caregiver-Mediated Early Years Services, the Entry to School program and Urgent Response Services where appropriate.
How does Surrey Place help families access OAP funding and services?
Surrey Place's knowledgeable staff helps families navigate the services and supports available to them.
Surrey Place's Autism Intake Coordinators and Parent Trainers help families navigate the services offered at Surrey Place, ensuring families access relevant programs. Surrey Place offers all five streams of the Ontario Autism Program.
Surrey Place's Family Support Coaches facilitate an orientation to the Ontario Autism Program workshop to help families understand the new program. Coaches are also available to meet one-on-one with families experiencing challenges submitting their OAP registration forms, funding applications, or expense forms.
Family Support Coaches also help families navigate the broader supports and services available in the community.

Objective: This study aimed to assess spatiotemporal gait parameters and range of motion of lower limbs in subjects with Parkinson disease (PD) and freezing of gait, treated with automated mechanical peripheral stimulation (AMPS) or AMPS SHAM (placebo).
Design: This randomized clinical trial included 30 subjects allocated into two groups: AMPS (15 subjects with PD) and AMPS SHAM (15 subjects with PD). Fourteen age-matched healthy subjects were also included as a reference group. Both PD groups received the treatment twice a week during 4 weeks. Automated mechanical peripheral stimulation was applied using a commercial medical device (Gondola) and consisted of mechanical pressure in four areas of feet. For AMPS SHAM group, a subliminal stimulus was delivered. Gait analysis were measured before, after the first, after the fourth, and after the eighth sessions.
Results: We did not find significant differences between AMPS and AMPS SHAM groups either for spatiotemporal gait parameters or for range of motion of lower limbs. However, within-group analysis showed that AMPS group significantly improved spatiotemporal gait parameters and hip rotation range of motion throughout the treatment period. The AMPS SHAM group did not show any improvement.
Conclusions: Automated mechanical peripheral stimulation therapy induces improvements in spatiotemporal parameters and hip rotation range of motion of subjects with PD and freezing of gait.
Identify the improvements on spatiotemporal gait parameters in subjects with Parkinson's disease and freezing of gait after AMPS therapy.
Recommend the use of new strategies of plantar stimulus for gait disorders of subjects with Parkinson's disease.

Recent research suggests that expectancies about being hypnotized have a determinant role in the hypnotic experience. The authors analyzed the relationship between expectancies and the phenomenology of hypnosis using the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory and Hypnotic Assessment Procedure. Participants (115) were assigned either to the imagination (hypnosis labeled as imagination) or the hypnosis conditions. Results revealed only a minor influence of expectancies and none on the label "hypnosis" across all variables. These findings indicate that the methodology commonly used to study the influence of expectancies on hypnotic responsiveness and phenomenology might represent a flaw in favor of a causal relationship between expectancies and hypnotic experience.
Evidence supports the efficacy of hypnotic treatments, but there remain many unresolved questions regarding how hypnosis produces its beneficial effects. Most theoretical models focus more or less on biological, psychological, and social factors. This scoping review summarizes the empirical findings regarding the associations between specific factors in each of these domains and response to hypnosis. The findings indicate that (a) no single factor appears primary, (b) different factors may contribute more or less to outcomes in different subsets of individuals or for different conditions, and (c) comprehensive models of hypnosis that incorporate factors from all 3 domains may ultimately prove to be more useful than more restrictive models that focus on just 1 or a very few factors.


I see YouTube is now recommending PCM and FLAC for the audio part of uploads. I'm wondering what the best way to do this is, in Premiere Pro.
Obviously, it isn't part of the regular x264 or HEVC export process. Anyone have any experience doing this? I think Sorenson allows for it, but I'm not sure it is part of the official specification.
It has nothing to do with codec at all. But all to do with container and software capabilities with specific container.
Like GH cameras that record PCM in MOV.
Only reason for PCM or FLAC can be saving on decoding, as Google will still encode it at low bitrate lossy codec using cheapest possible implementation. But it is weird.
Can Premiere export to a WAV file? For my YouTube uploads I usually take a WAV file and then mux it with the video into an MKV or MOV using ffmpeg.
Yeah--you can do it in steps but there often is a tiny time offset when glue it back together. TMPGenc has a plugin, I will try the trial.
PCM audio is standard in all Sony XAVC (h264) variants. Thus, almost all Sony cameras that record video record audio in PCM, even the X3000 action cam. Choosing XAVC as the export codec/wrapper in any editor should have PCM audio.
Interesting...I'll look for it in Premiere.

Helical extension springs exert a force by pulling or stretching them. Usually, they are made from round wire and are close-wound with the initial tension between the coils. Their ends can be formed with loops in many varieties to attach to their applications.

But while the Mexican government has done a tremendous job at promoting Mayan cultural heritage for the consumption of both national and international tourism, there are members of Yucatán's Mayan community who see hypocrisy in spreading the term Maya without any focus on preserving the Mayan language.
There are about 30 Mayan languages currently spoken by about 5 million people across southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras. The languages are considered endangered, according to Oxford University Press, because there are documented cases of children in some communities who are not learning them.
And some Yucatán locals say interest in their language, Yucatecan Maya, is dwindling, even while tourism numbers soar in places such as Tulum, a resort town built around a sacred Mayan archeological site. There's even a project for a high-speed train emblazoned with the name "Tren Maya" that's in the works right now, with its proposed trajectory shredding through portions of Mayan jungle to allow tourists easier access to currently remote Mayan sacred sites.
But there are efforts under way to save the language from extinction.
Teresa Pool Ix is a retired preschool teacher and language preservation advocate and one of the 10 volunteers that make up Radio Yuuyum, a Mayan language radio station based in downtown Mérida, the Yucatán peninsula's most booming metropolis.
Around the Yucatán peninsula it's estimated that about 800,000 people speak Yucatecan Maya. Some families teach the language to their children, and it becomes their native tongue. Later, the kids learn Spanish in school and in society outside of the smaller pueblos. But Pool Ix says this is not as common as it used to be.
Radio Yuuyum broadcasts every Monday from 5:00-10:00pm CT and has for the past three years, and online at www.radioyuyuum.org. The programming includes Mayan language music such as rapper Patboy, discussions, language lessons and an hour of news which is selected each week by the station manager and translated into Mayan. The news deals with issues facing the state of Yucatán and the peninsula.
Mayan language activisit Yazmín Novelo of Radio Yuuyum.
And while Maya is never a requirement for any job or school in the region, knowledge of English has become obligatory. Many young people are even studying Mandarin in expectation that it might become the world's next imperial language. It all stems from economic pressures, Pool Ix said.
"Sometimes we think that, well, we don't get any work if we speak Maya," Pool Ix said. "But me as a person, I will be rich because I will transmit what I know. I will know more about my culture and language. People say the Mayans disappeared. No, they didn't disappear. We are still here.
Just up the road from Radio Yuuyum's broadcasting space in Mérida's colonial center is the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya, a 22,600-square-meter space which tells the story of the Mayan people, starting with the crash of a meteor off the coast of Yucatán.
Many scientists believe that event ultimately led to the extinction of dinosaurs and the formation of the Yucatán peninsula and its abundant underground freshwater rivers which pool into cenotes, considered sacred to the Mayan people and now a popular tourist attraction.
The museum is immense and touches on the beginning, prime and current Mayan civilization, with heavy focus on the Classic period of Mayan culture, the Spanish invasion and subsequent colonization whose effects, Pool Ix says, are still clearly felt to this day.
"There was an event recently at the Gran Museo Maya, and it was called the 'Pueblo Maya' though the least-represented group there was that of the Mayan people," Pool Ix said. "They just use our name. They sell our name. They sell our culture. But only certain aspects, because the language doesn't interest them. They see it as something that doesn't serve them.
Throughout the years, the Yucatán peninsula has featured a number of television and radio programs, but the number has dwindled. Radio Yuuyum operates out of a space donated by Instituto Universitario del Pueblo. The radio is also supported by some listener and other donations. Pool Ix says that television has been the best way to reach the pueblos, but they hope that with the increase in internet availability they will be able to reach more communities.
Socorro Cauich is a high school teacher and Radio Yuuyum volunteer host. She says her hometown is about 20 minutes away from Chichen Itzá, arguably the most visited archaeological site in Mexico. She learned Mayan when she was about eight years old.
"The goal in some communities is that whenever you speak, you try to speak in Maya," she said. "Eventually, the kids will understand and be able to speak. I am applying this as well within my community and the places where I go. In my community, I started to learn Maya in certain places.
"But when I'm in the city, people know that I speak Spanish so they speak Spanish to me. Outside of the communities, there is the issue of people discriminating against it. If someone speaks Maya, there's the idea that they are poor, or they are ignorant. So what people do is decide not to speak it for fear that others will make fun of them and they will undervalue them.
The federal government and representatives of 12 Maya communities attended a ceremony in Chiapas to ask for Mother Earth's permission to build the train.
The cave was discovered between two ancient Mayan cities in Yucatán, an expert from the National Institute of Anthropology and History announced.

#1 What to look for in a survival watch?
A survival watch should ultimately provide you with an influx of information in a condensed, yet easy to read, way. It's also important for a survival watch to be flexible and comfortable. After all, you're most likely going to be wearing it for an extended amount of time.
Typically, a survival watch should be shock and water resistant. Obviously, it's extremely important that it tells time in an efficient and accurate way. Your survival watch should also have extra features, such as the ability to detect temperature and determine direction and distance.
#2 Why you'll need a survival watch in a crisis?
Mobile phones aren't always the most reliable piece of technology in an emergency. Most of the time, phones aren't helpful in an emergency because there is no signal or their battery has died. That's when a survival watch comes in handy.
Of course, a survival watch is helpful for telling crucial information, such as date and time. You can even set an alarm on your watch to alert you to do something while you wait for help. For example, an alarm can alert you to wake up, start a fire, or even start walking in an attempt to find civilization again.
Most of the time, survival watches are equipped with additional features, such as GPS and the ability to detect changes in the atmosphere in terms of altitude and temperature. These features can help you determine what you need to do in order to survive. In fact, a GPS could even lead you back to civilization.
#3 How to tell direction with a survival watch?
If you can find north utilizing a survival watch, you will be able to determine all the other directions. The process is simple.
First, start by placing the watch in the middle of your hand and just holding it.
Then, make sure the hour hand is pointing towards the sun.
Next, utilizing your hand, or a pen and paper, bisect the hour hand and the watch's 12.
Now, the end of this line will be facing the north direction. For an additional tip, it's important to keep in mind that the east is where the sun rises, so that means the west is the direction the sun sets.
#4 How to find direction at night using an analog watch?
You can utilize the above method with an analog watch. But, it might be hard to do this at night. In case you need to find direction at night simply place one stick in the ground and lie down so you are at eye level with it.
#5 What is an altimeter watch used for?
An altimeter watch is basically used to measure altitude. Altitude is important because it determines the air pressure of an area, which in turn can determine things like weather conditions and temperature. Altitude can also measure the depth of water.
#6 What kind of watches do military wear?
Most military personnel wear g-shock watches because they are equipped with additional features that come in handy. For example, most g-shock watches have a compass and thermometer feature.
Also, g-shock watches are typically more durable than other kinds of watches. So, they can withstand inclement weather and extreme environments.
