Cactus Water: Should You Try This Trendy Beverage?
By Meagan Morris • Oct 31, 2019
This article may contain affiliate links. We collect a share of sales from qualifying purchases.
Move over, coconut water. There's a new hydration sensation in town, and it comes from the last place you'd expect: the desert.
Cactus water has been gaining ground as a trendy health beverage. It has less sugar than coconut water, but is believed to provide a whole bunch of healthy benefits for our bodies.
But does cactus water really live up to the hype? Here's what you need to know.
What Does Cactus Water Taste Like?
Let's be honest: Cactus water may not sound all that appetizing at first. But it's actually derived from the fruit of the prickly pear cactus plant. (Water is stored in these fruits to help the plant survive the harsh, dry climate of the desert.)
And when juiced, the fruit of a prickly pear cactus has a mellow, berry-like flavor. One cactus water company, Caliwater, describes the taste as "watermelon mixed with kiwi."
What Are the Benefits of Drinking Cactus Water?
One of the biggest benefits of cactus water is that it contains taurine, an amino acid with antioxidant properties. According to research taurine has been shown to help lower blood pressure and support eye health, and research suggests taurine may also boost fat burning during workouts and improve performance during exercise.
Cactus water also provides some electrolytes, namely magnesium and potassium. Electrolytes are minerals that help keep the amount of water in our cells in check, and it's important to replenish them after a long strenuous workout.
Coconut water also contains some electrolytes, but cactus water has fewer calories and less sugar. Coconut water has around 46 calories and 6 grams of sugar per cup; unsweetened cactus water has 19 calories and 4 grams of sugar per cup. (Some brands do have added sugar, though, so be sure to check the nutrition label.)
And cactus water also contains betalains — nitrogen-producing pigments found in a few foods that can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Betalains are most commonly found in beets, but prickly pear fruit is one of the best edible sources.
Is Cactus Water Worth Drinking?
Cactus water may not be a miracle elixir, but it's still worth a try — it contains some beneficial nutrients and can be helpful for replenishing electrolytes. And if you don't love the taste of coconut water, you may prefer cactus water as a base for smoothies or mocktails.
Even better: Cactus water is available in grocery stores like Whole Foods and on Amazon, so you can easily find it among your other must-have health foods.

Owners say this Toyota is the least satisfying vehicle
Inside the 2022 Toyota Tundra
Toyota Trucks Executive Chief Engineer Mike Sweers enters The Fox Garage to talk about the all-new 2022 Tundra pickup with Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu.
With the supply shortages hitting the car industry and skyrocketing transaction prices, it seems like people will buy anything they can get their hands on these days. But there are a few models they'd rather not buy again.
The latest survey from Consumer Reports reveals the 10 least-satisfying vehicles currently on sale. Owners were asked under no specific criteria if they'd make the same purchase if given the choice today, and few cars really came up short.
The Toyota C-HR starts at $25,095.
(Toyota)
Topping the dubious list was the Toyota C-HR, which just 29% of owners said they'd make a repeat purchase on.
The $21,640 Ford EcoSport is the only car on sale in the U.S. that's imported from India.
It was followed closely by the Ford EcoSport (30%) and Chevrolet Trax (37%), which are both direct competitors in the subcompact SUV segment.
The Korean-made $22,595 Chevrolet Trax is the brand's least expensive SUV.
The Infiniti Q50 was the most disappointing luxury model on the list at 40% and the Nissan Rogue Sport rounded out the top five at 42%.
Here's the full top 10 list:
Toyota C-HR: 29%
Ford EcoSport: 30%
Chevrolet Trax: 37%
Infiniti Q50: 40%
Nissan Rogue Sport: 42%
Infiniti QX50: 46%
Jeep Compass: 46%
Jeep Renegade: 46%
Cadillac XT4: 47%
Kia Forte: 47%

Dove are looking good in Ellis and Navarro County the week leading up to dove season. Most birds are in commercial sunflower fields or the milo fields that have been cut and bailed, still a lot of fields yet to be cut. There are also some birds still hanging around in the wheat. We got some rain on Friday, and temperatures will be cooler for the next few days including the opener so hunting should be good.

Theory:Timeline - Pope
Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Pope
This page lists Popes in chronological the order. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.
Years given are the ones confirmed by DWU stories.
1.1 The Old Rome
1.2 The new Rome
1.3 The Magellanic Clouds
1.4 Catholic Church Apostolic
1.7 Morestran Orthodox Church
1.8 The City of the Saved
2 Unplaced
3 Alternate timelines
Saint Peter (1st Pope)
'The pope is the anointed leader of the Holy Catholic Church and derives his authority from those who came before him all the way back to Saint Peter.'
'Ah, yes, Peter. Very interesting man. A powerful speaker.' (PROSE: The Price of Conviction)
800: Leo III
'Pope Leo the third?' murmured the Doctor, looking panicked. 'This is the year 800! If that meeting doesn't happen...' His voice trailed off. (PROSE: The Lonely Computer)
"Aside from documenting his few recorded appearances within the City of the Saved, any account of Godfather Avatar rapidly becomes as speculative as a biography of Robin Hood or Pope Joan." (PROSE: Of the City of the Saved...)
TOP TEN THINGS WOMEN AREN'T ALLOWED TO DO AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT:
3. BECOME POPE
Solution: Become Pope anyway. Oh, all right, you can disguise yourself as a man if you like. Just don't give it away by giving birth during a procession (I'm looking at you, Joan). (PROSE: Girl Power!)
1045: Benedict IX
ANGELO: As you can see, this is the personal recommendation of Pope Benedict IX. In 1045.
DOCTOR: Pope Benedict. Lovely girl. What a night. I knew she was trouble, but she wove a spell with her castanets. (TV: Extremis)
1190: Pope
JOANNA: In Rome. His Holiness the Pope will not allow this marriage of mine to that infidel. (TV: The Crusade)
'Well, well, well! The Grimoire of Pope Honorius!' The Doctor had seized an ancient leatherbound volume with great excitement. 'A copy I never knew existed...' (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Dæmons)
1511: Julius II
'Pope Julius II badgered him into it. But then, Michelangelo chose the subject – the Bible, from Creation to the Last Judgement, a graphic story from beginning to end.' (PROSE: Managra)
QUOTE? (AUDIO: Fallen Angels)
1514: Leo X
SYNOPSIS: Guiliano confesses to his brother Pope Leo X that he has angered the wealthy family of Ravelli and believes the newcomers may be part of an assassination plot. (AUDIO: The Ravelli Conspiracy)
15XX: Gregory
"On 14 September, 1752, the country known as England – arguably the most important nation-state on Earth at that point in time – adopted the Gregorian calendar, the system of measuring time that had been championed by Pope Gregory nearly two centuries earlier." (PROSE: Interference - Book One)
Ace thought about it for a second. 'We drop these two off in 1586? A few days after they disappeared.'
The Doctor grinned. 'Spot on. Although I think we'll drop them in France. Wouldn't want Rudolph catching them again. Not with the Pope baying for their blood.'
The Doctor frowned. "Hmm, I must admit to a slight worry. Being mistaken for an emissary of the Pope in Venice in 1609 is, perhaps, not the safest thing that could have happened." (PROSE: The Empire of Glass)
1799: Pius VI
"By all the sodomized choirboys of Pope Pius VI, thought Erskine, things are going from bad to worse around here." (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet)
1887: Leo XIII
"I was hit by a sudden crashing realization, and so when Holmes turned his head and said, 'Watson, may I introduce His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII,' I was at least half prepared." (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire)
"The current Conclave chair, Pius XII, was said to be 'disappointed' by his successor's behaviour." (PROSE: A Hundred Words from a Civil War)
1968: Paul VI
"La Stampa. 15 March 1968 (trans.): The appearance of the symbol of the Revolution Man on the floor of St Peter's Cathedral has brought about amazement and consternation in the Vatican. Pope Paul VI is known to be deeply concerned, and it is believed that he considers this the most serious of crimes." (PROSE: Revolution Man)
Then, an American accent spoke out over the radio: 'Pope Paul IV [sic] has expressed his hopes for a peaceful Christmas following the bombings in Milan and Rome earlier this month...' (PROSE: Interesting Times)
1981-1997: John Paul
"Someone tried, in 1981, to take the life of Ronald Reagan. Two months later, someone even took a pop at the Pope in St Peters Square." (PROSE: The Assassin's Story)
"She recognised Prince Charles, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul, the Queen …" (PROSE: Nothing O'Clock)
'Well, it's one of the Big Questions, isn't it? Life on other planets. Do you think that Xznaal's a Protestant or a Catholic? The Pope has sought an audience with him, you know.' (PROSE: The Dying Days)
"The new pope hadn't made a public appearance yet, but the Vatican was insisting he was well and hadn't been taken when the swarm hit St Peter's Square." (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles)
'It's 2097, Fitz. When in Rome. . . This is a crucial point in Earth's relations with alien species. The very first papal visit to Mars. The pope is going to consecrate the first cathedral here, and anoint the first native Martian archbishops, and if she's ext –' (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles)
25XX: Felix VIII
'I once had the pleasure of meeting Pope Felix VIII,' Valeriani was telling me, 'at a presidential reception, when I was last on Earth. He was before your time, of course — a great statesman, though.
It is clear that Valeriani understands people all too well. If he is (as his reference to Pope Felix was obviously intended to suggest) more than a hundred years old (PROSE: Predating the Predators)
2621: Cosmas IX
From the personal journal of Monsignora Imogen Tantry, May 2621
"Pope Cosmas IX may be liberal in his relations with extraterrestrial faiths, but he is no fool, and some time ago he assigned me a watching brief to identify any such bodies which might pose a genuine threat to the Church." (PROSE: De Umbris Idearum)
2649: Beatrix II, formerly Imogen Tantry (314th Pope)
"...in the Beatrician Crusade against the resurgent Mal'akh, the Pope would proclaim the Church's duty to bring the Remote under its wing in her 2649 encyclical, De umbris idearum ('On the Shadows of Ideas')." (PROSE: De Umbris Idearum)
BEATRIX II, the 314th Pope of the original Roman Catholic Church and a significant figure in resurrected ecclesiastical politics, has been sanctioned by the Conclave of All Popes for her alleged connections with the Sons of Tepes crime cartel. (PROSE: A Hundred Words from a Civil War)
The Old Rome[edit source]
Urban IX
'You sound like a schismatic, Doctor. Back on Earth, they refer to the new Rome as Avignon. The new Babylonian captivity. They elected a rival Pope, back in Old Rome. Of course, he called himself Urban IX; and those who have succeeded him as antipope have also taken the name. Swine!' (PROSE: Companion Piece)
27XX: Urban XII
'The conclave has begun, and I have heard that Urban XII has left Earth. He feels strong enough to go to Rome and assert his claim in person. The Magellanic Tsar is bound to react. The choice that is made in Rome might cost us our lives.' (PROSE: Companion Piece)
The new Rome[edit source]
'The question of the baptism of non-humanoid species split the Church in two. Did they or did they not have souls? ... There were riots, civil wars, governments became embroiled and secular authority also fragmented. Fearing for his safety, Pope Athanasius finally left Earth for Rome.' (PROSE: Companion Piece)
'But it was clearly established in the reign of His Holiness Pope Sixtus ... that soul-death occurs five to seven years after brain-stem activity ceases. Until that sad event occurs, the throne is not vacant.' (PROSE: Companion Piece)
27XX: John Paul XXIII
"For the moment, all you need to know is that I am Guii del Toro, Grand Inquisitor for all of this sector of Roman Catholic space, working under special dispensation from His Holiness Pope John Paul XXIII, and that you and your ship — your TARDIS — are now in my custody" (PROSE: Companion Piece)
The Magellanic Clouds[edit source]
27XX: Celestine VI
'Doctor, Celestine VI is a highly evolved dolphin from beyond the Rakash Nebula! A dolphin, elevated to the throne of Saint Peter! A wretched fish!'
'They're mammals,' said the Doctor.
'Pope John Paul has made it an article of faith that dolphins are fish,' the Inquisitor spat. (PROSE: Companion Piece)
Catholic Church Apostolic[edit source]
3278: Lucian
'Europa is an area reconstructed on the site of the original Europe ... And the whole kit and caboodle is ruled by the Inquisition under a renegade branch of the Catholic Church. The official papal seat is, I believe, situated in the Betelgeuse system during this era.'
'Pope Lucian. Of course! Now it's coming back to me. It is the year AD 3278, or very close. That means we're bang in the middle of the High Dogmatic period.' (PROSE: Managra)
45XX: Saint Peter (clone)
"The clones weren't real clones, of course, and only tended to live an hour or two. It was real cutting edge stuff, banned by the Vatican. Not because the Pope had any real ethical objections (how could he, having himself been grown from one of St Peter's fingernails?) (PROSE: Paydirt)
89XX: Ferox XXIV
"Behind her Mother Vittoria Cellini, envoy from one of the more jihad-prone 90th-century Popes, shrilly takes issue with Vril's woolly pluralism."
"She wonders whether he is here with Mother Cellini. From what she remembers, Ferox XXIV would be just his kind of Pope."
'You're working for the Church, still,' Krisztina-Judit concludes. 'But not for that crusading bastard Ferox.' (PROSE: Unification Theory)
Morestran Orthodox Church[edit source]
39,1XX: Luciani XVII
Presiding: His Holiness, Papal Majesty Luciani XVII.
His Holiness: Don't blaspheme! I'm the [deleted] Pope! (PROSE: Zeta Major)

Darby Pop Publishing Releases Deluxe Editions of Two Sold-Out TPB's, Indestructible and Side-Kicked
by First Comics News on July 11, 2017 Darby Pop Publishing Releases Deluxe Editions of Two Sold-Out TPB's, Indestructible and Side-Kicked2017-07-11T17:10:39-07:00 - News
Darby Pop Publishing Releases Deluxe Editions of Two Sold-Out TPB's,
Indestructible and Side-Kicked
– Featuring an additional 22 pages of story each –
Los Angeles, CA (July 9, 2017) – To celebrate their first month as a truly independent comic book studio sans distribution partnerships, Darby Pop Publishing will release Deluxe Editions of two of their previously sold-out trade paperbacks, Indestructible: Not So Much Vol. #1 Deluxe TPB and Side-Kicked Vol. 1.5 TPB — each now featuring an additional 22 pages of story.
Indestructible: Not So Much Vol. #1 Deluxe TPB collects issues #1-4 of the hit series — written by Jeff Kline (Bruce Lee: The Dragon Rises) — and includes spin-off title Stingray #1 (her origin story) from writer Jeff Marsick and artist Luca Reguzzoni. In Shops: Jul 26, 2017.
Synopsis: Meet Greg Pincus, the planet's brand-spanking-newest super-hero. One problem: Greg is neither super, nor particularly heroic. But, he's definitely enjoying the perks that accompany the world's misconception. Can Greg successfully navigate a celebrity-obsessed culture without revealing his secret shame – or getting himself killed? Will his hirsute best friend/roommate (Barry) ever stop making things worse? Will the League of Defenders quit sniping long enough to actually battle evil? And, most importantly, will Greg's Mother ever be freakin' satisfied?
Indestructible has consistently received only the highest praise from top comic websites:
"Indestructible is a witty, unique, and often hilarious take on fame and what a hero really is." – Comic Book Therapy.
"Prepare for the most entertaining new property in, at least, the last ten years. What we have is not a bold re-imagining of what it means to exist in a world that has superheroes, but rather something that pokes fun at the genre from a street level perspective." – Unleash the Fanboy
"What makes Indestructible a compelling story isn't just its depiction of superheroes as celebrities, but its exploration of our own fascination with celebrity culture and how it feeds into the whole superhero dynamic." – Fanboy Comics
Side-Kicked
The sold-out Side-Kicked is back, and Darby Pop has added two brand-new origin stories, the winning entries from our most recent "Breaking into Comics" contest!
Synopsis: It should come as no surprise to learn that, within the super-hero "community," egos run rampant. But how does all that free-flowing narcissism impact those standing just outside the spotlight? Chicago finds out when five of the city's most loyal Sidekicks finally grow tired of being disrespected by both the prima donnas they work with and the citizenry they strive to protect. And it's not like the Windy City needs another labor upheaval…
Side-Kicked has also consistently received only the highest praise:
"Side-Kicked is a deadpan comedy that allows few breaks for the sidekicks throughout, tapping into the down-on-their-luck wave (think Hawkeye or Ant-Man) proven to be a winning formula in the last few years. The series is worth a look if you are keen to venture outside the mainstream capes." – Newsarama.
"Side-Kicked is blessed with characters that have been imbued with a heavy dose of humanity. Writer Russell Brettholtz has a way of making them come alive." – Comicbooktemplewriter
The new editions of the critically-acclaimed Indestructible: Not So Much (MAY17 1532) and Side-Kicked (MAY17 1533) are now available for preorder and are listed under Darby Pop Publishing''s own heading in the PREVIEWS catalog.

2015 Countdown – No. 6: Canada wins two medals at home Pan Am Games
written by: Tennis Canada
Professional Men and Women
Competing on home soil and at familiar territory in the Aviva Centre, Team Canada didn't disappoint at the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games this summer. Clinching two medals, it was the best performance ever by Canada at a Pan Am Games.
Philip Bester and Gabriela Dabrowski started off the winning, advancing to the gold-medal contest in mixed doubles before falling to Argentines Maria Irigoyen and Guido Andreozzi to secure the silver.
Not going to be satisfied with another second place, the next evening Dabrowski paired up with Carol Zhao to close out the tennis portion of the Pan Am Games on the highest note for Canada – by clinching gold in women's doubles. In the last match of the tournament, they defeated Mexico's Victoria Rodriguez and Marcelo Zacarias 6-1, 4-6, 10-5 in a thriller. Their victory represents the first gold medal in tennis ever won by Canada at the Pan Am Games, and the first at a multi-sport event since Daniel Nestor and Sebastien Lareau at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

SafeCare® is an in-home parent training program that targets risk factors for child neglect and physical abuse in which parents are taught skills in three module areas: (1) how to interact in a positive manner with their children, to plan activities, and respond appropriately to challenging child behaviors, (2) to recognize hazards in the home in order to improve the home environment, and (3) to recognize and respond to symptoms of illness and injury, in addition to keeping good health records. All three modules should be used in the implementation of SafeCare®; any modifications to or elimination of modules need to be discussed with the program developers.
Parents are encouraged to practice skills between sessions. Providers work with parents to develop the practice plan around planned activities with child between Parent-Infant/Child Interaction module sessions, safety hazard removal and maintenance between Safety sessions, and health care checklists practice between Health sessions.
A bachelor's degree in human services is preferable [less education is acceptable with work experience in child development and parenting]. Also, staff should be comfortable delivering interventions to families in the home setting, open to learning and implementing new curricula or intervention programs, open to or has prior experience in delivering a highly structured intervention protocol, understands the importance of program fidelity, and open and responsive to coaching and constructive feedback.
To become a SafeCare Provider, the required training is conducted over 32 hours during 4 consecutive days of workshop training, followed by observations of at least nine sessions by a certified SafeCare Coach or Trainer. To become a SafeCare Coach, one needs to be a certified SafeCare Provider and attend an additional 16 hours of workshop training over 2 days, plus observations of at least six coaching sessions by a certified SafeCare Trainer. To become a SafeCare Trainer, one needs to be a certified SafeCare Coach and attend an additional 16 hours of workshop training over 2 days, plus a 4-5 day observation of a Provider Workshop.
Agency issues - ensuring that agency leadership and staff are all in support of SafeCare® implementation, and have communicated about why SafeCare® is being adopted, the importance of model fidelity, concerns that have arisen, caseloads, etc.
Resources - detailing the resources needed for SafeCare® implementation.
Additionally, NSTRC staff conducts an in-person orientation for every agency trained. NSTRC expects agency leadership and trainees to be present, and recommends referral agents and other stakeholders atten as well. The site visit will provide an overview of SafeCare®, and typically includes breakout sessions with agency management/funders and providers to discuss and problem solve typical implementation challenges. For more information, email safecare@gsu.edu.
Certified SafeCare Coaches provide support for Providers. Home sessions are observed or listened to by the Coach to assess fidelity and guide feedback to the Provider in a coaching call or meeting. SafeCare Trainers support SafeCare Coaches by assessing the reliability of Coaches' fidelity, as well as the quality of the coaching session with the provider. NSTRC also provides technical assistance to agencies during the first year of implementation.
The SafeCare Portal is a web-based platform that assists in trainee certification and fidelity monitoring, as well as facilitating support for Providers from their Coach and Coaches from their trainer. The Portal also collects data on Provider demographics and certification progress.
There are three fidelity assessment forms that are used for each SafeCare® module to assess the Provider's delivery of the program to a family. Each assesses approximately 30 behaviors that should be performed during the SafeCare® session (e.g., opens session, observes parent behavior during practice, provides positive and corrective feedback). Each item is rated as "implemented," "not implemented," or "not applicable" to that session. Coaching sessions are also rated for fidelity using a coach fidelity assessment form. The measures can be requested at safecare@gsu.edu.
Manuals and implementation tools are provided with each training and implementation. Manuals include tools for SafeCare® delivery including a session outline for each of the SafeCare® sessions, all handouts that are to be provided to parents (e.g., health manual, home safety handouts), and all clinical tools to be used by the provider (e.g., assessment tools for parenting, health, and safety). The Coach Manual includes fidelity monitoring tools and discussion of fidelity monitoring processes. The Trainer Manual includes guidelines and recommendations for training SafeCare® Coaches and Trainers. Samples of the materials are available either by visiting http://safecare.publichealth.gsu.edu/training/curriculum/ or by emailing safecare@gsu.edu.

Status — Participants were families with a substantiated child abuse claim with the Department of Children and Family Services or were high-risk.
The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which Project SafeCare® [now called SafeCare® ] improved parenting skills and reduced future occurrences of abuse and neglect with families who had abused and/or neglected their children. Participants were assigned to either Project SafeCare® or a comparision group (Family Preservation program). Measures utilized include the Beck Depression Inventory, the Child Abuse Potential Inventory and the Parenting Stress Index. Results indicate families in the Project SafeCare® group had significantly lower rates of re-abuse reporting during the 24-month follow-up period than the control group. At 36 months after the intervention, the Project SafeCare® families had no further reports of child abuse, compared with the Family Preservation families. Limitations include lack of randomization of participants, small sample size, and limited generalizability to other populations based upon participation sample group.
Length of postintervention follow-up: At least 24 months.
Status — Participants were families with recent reports of child maltreatment and those referred by social workers due to the risk factors of parents' age, low level of education, and lack of social support.
The purpose of this study was to examine the aggregate of pre–post differences in the three training components Project SafeCare [now called SafeCare®] of all families who completed each component. Measures utilized include The Home Accident Prevention Inventory-Revised (HAPI-R) and the Planned Activities Training (PAT). Results indicate statistically significant improvements in Health, Safety, and Parenting over baseline measures. However, the authors note that there was a high level of attrition from the program [decrease in using program components] among those who were referred, with only 10% completing all of the training components. This is cited as typical for maltreating and at-risk families referred to interventions with possible contributing factors including family stressors, involuntary referrals, and lack of resources or motivation. Limitations include lack of randomization of participants, small sample size and lack of follow-up.
Status — Study participants were all parents with a history of physically maltreating their child(ren) (abuse or neglect - nonsexual abusers) referred for services by the child welfare system.
This trial compared child protective services (CPS) recidivism outcomes between SafeCare® and comparable home-based services (Services as Usual) for parents in the CPS system across two quality control strategies: Coached and Uncoached implementation. The study was conducted in a scaled-up, statewide implementation setting. Maltreating parents were enrolled and treated in a 2 X 2 (SafeCare® vs. Services As Usual X Coached vs. Uncoached implementation strategy) randomized cluster experiment. Cases were followed for an average of six years for CPS recidivism events. Subpopulation analyses were conducted for parents meeting customary SafeCare® inclusion criteria. Analysis showed effectiveness for SafeCare®, especially in participants meeting customary SafeCare® inclusion criteria (i.e., young, first-time mothers). The analysis on coached implementation showed that it had positive effects especially on those participants falling outside customary SafeCare® inclusion criteria. Limitations include the cluster design, with a small number of clusters.
Length of postintervention follow-up: Approximately 6 years.
Status — Participants were parents with a history of physically maltreating their child(ren) (abuse or neglect - non-sexual abusers) who were referred for services by the child welfare system.
This study uses a subsample of subjects from Chaffin, Hecht, Bard, Silovsky, & Beasley (2012). This study examined recidivism reduction equivalency and acceptability among American Indian parents participating in a statewide trial of SafeCare. Measures utilized include the Beck Depression Inventory-2, the Child Abuse Potential Inventory, the Working Alliance Inventory, the Client Cultural Competency Inventory, and the Client Satisfaction Survey (CSS). Outcomes were 6-year recidivism, pre/post/follow-up measures of depression and child abuse potential, and posttreatment consumer ratings of working alliance, service satisfaction, and cultural competency. Results indicated that recidivism reduction among American Indian parents was found to be equivalent for cases falling within customary SafeCare inclusion criteria. In addition, when extended to cases outside customary inclusion boundaries, there was no apparent recidivism advantage or disadvantage. Results also indicated that SafeCare had higher consumer ratings of cultural competency, working alliance, service quality, and service benefits. Limitations include the lack of randomization at the client or worker level and lack of information on any tribal differences.
Length of postintervention follow-up: 6 years.
Carta, J. J., Lefever, J. B., Bigelow, K., Borkowski, J., & Warren, S. F. (2013). Randomized trial of a cellular phone-enhanced home visitation parenting intervention. Pediatrics, 132(Supplement 2), S167-S173.
This randomized controlled trial examines parent and child outcomes for dyads who completed the Parent-Child Interaction module of SafeCare (one of the three SafeCare modules). The Parent-Child Interaction module is based on parent training in ten Planned Activities Training steps (PAT). Parent-child dyads were randomly assigned to one either PAT, a cellular phone-enhanced version (CPAT), or a waitlist control (WLC) to examine changes in parent and child outcomes at 6 months posttreatment. Measures included the PAT Checklist, the Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, the Behavior Assessment Scale for Children-2-Parent Report Scale, and the Child Behavior Rating Scale. Mothers receiving PAT and CPAT demonstrated more frequent use of parenting strategies and engaged in more responsive parenting than mothers in the WLC. Mothers receiving CPAT used more PAT parenting strategies than mothers in the other 2 groups and experienced greater reductions in depression and stress. Children of mothers receiving PAT and CPAT demonstrated higher rates of positive engagement, and children of CPAT mothers demonstrated higher levels of adaptive behaviors than children in the WLC. Importantly, changes in parenting, depression, and stress predicted positive child behaviors. Limitations include the use of research staff to deliver the intervention and the narrow age range of the children in the study. Note: Since this study utilized only one of the three modules of SafeCare, it was not used in the rating of the overall SafeCare program.
This study uses the sample from Carta et al. (2013). The current study assessed whether a cellular phone-supported version (PCI-C) of the Parent-Child Interactions (PCI) of SafeCare® intervention improved long-term parenting practices, maternal depression, and children's aggression. Participants were assigned to one of the three groups: PCI-C, PCI, and a wait-list control (WLC) group. Measures utilized include Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale (KIPS), the PCI checklist clean-up, the Child Behavior Rating Scale (CBRS), the Behavior Assessment Scale for Children-2-Parent Report Scale (BASC-2-PRS), and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II). Results indicated parenting improved in both intervention groups between baseline and 12-month follow-up compared to the WLC. Children in the PCI-C group were rated to be more cooperative and less aggressive than children in the WLC. Limitations include lack of strong measures of potential mechanisms for change and high rate of attrition during the intervention period. Note: Since this study utilized only one of the three modules of SafeCare, it was not used in the rating of the overall SafeCare program.

63 Hip-Hop Songs That Defined the 2010s
XXL Staff Published: January 4, 2020
Dimitrios Kambouris / Neilson Barnard / Mark Davis, Getty Images (3)
The 2010s was a decade that seemed to be in constant transition—especially when it came to hip-hop.
The mixtape era gave way to the blog era, which was soon replaced by streaming platforms. There was Twitter, Vine, Instagram, Snapchat and now TikTok, among other social networks that helped power the culture.
Drake took the baton from his idols—guys like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kanye West—and sprinted until the finish (and into 2020). Meanwhile, new sects made their names (Odd Future, A$AP Mob) while label empires like Maybach Music Group, Top Dawg Entertainment and Quality Control Music became the Bad Boy and Roc-a-Fella Records of the new age.
The aesthetics of hip-hop in the past 10 years have also evolved in interesting ways. Atmospheric, vibey production characterized the work of artists like Future, XXXTentacion and Young Thug and nearly every rapper releasing music during the period. Regional walls came crashing down, giving way to A$AP Rocky's mishmash of sounds from Houston to Harlem.
The decade flew by, but rappers were as prolific as ever, leaving behind a stockpile of great music to soundtrack the 2010s. Drake was the nucleus, always attached to an emerging or trendy sound, whether it was emo, dancehall-inspired, trap or afrobeat. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar became a king in his own right, dropping the protest song of a generation with "Alright," while Nicki Minaj locked down her own crown with songs like "Super Bass" and the Beyoncé-featured "Feelin' Myself."
Travis Scott catapulted to superstardom in the decade's latter half, releasing inescapable classics like "Pick Up the Phone" and "Antidote." Meanwhile, Fetty Wap shot to superstardom with 2015's "Trap Queen," which was followed by a string of smash hits.
Migos and Rae Sremmurd each dropped No. 1 singles in 2016, with "Bad and Boujee" and "Black Beatles," respectively. Cardi B did the same the following year, with "Bodak Yellow." The close of the decade found newer stars like Lizzo, Lil Nas X and Megan Thee Stallion carrying the torch into 2020.

Økern Station (Økern stasjon) er en metrostation på Grorudbanen på T-banen i Oslo. Stationen ligger i kvarteret Økern i bydelen Bjerke mellem Hasle og Risløkka Stationer. Stationen ligger ved Økernsenteret med Østre Aker vei lige nord for og Økern Torg indenfor gåafstand.

I forbindelse med ombygningen af Ring 3 mellem Ulven og Sinsen og omlægningen af Østre Aker vei blev stationen moderniseret. Perronerne blev renoveret og fik indbygget vandbåren varme, så sne og is ikke bliver liggende om vinteren. Desuden blev stationen gjort let tilgængelig fra alle retninger. Arbejdet med ombygning og modernisering stod på fra oktober 2008 til 1. juni 2011.

The photographs are mostly from Man Ray's early period in the 1920s, and focus on iconic subjects that define this unique artist. The collection was assembled by Camillo d'Afflitto over the last 30 years. The recurring themes of the work of Man Ray include: self-portraits, portraits of artists and creators, Man Ray's relationship and shared work with Marcel Duchamp, Dada, Surrealism, fashion photography, the body and architecture. The collection's images also include many photographs of primitive African art that Man Ray observed and immortalized with his camera from the perspective of modern artwork and not as a mere object. Many of these images have appeared in the recent traveling exhibition "Man Ray: African Art and the Modernist Lens" in the United States. Another important set in the collection are pictures of objects that Man Ray manipulated, ironically called "Objects of My Affection". The top lot in the sale is the iconic 1926 image, Blanc et Noir, which is estimated at 150,000 euro.
The photographs were all collected by the gallery owner and collector Camillo d'Afflitto. D'Afflitto was interested in avant-garde artists, such as Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia. In 1981 he founded the contemporary art gallery Vivita in Florence.
The photographs will be exhibited in Madrid, Paris and Barcelona before the auction will take place on October 30th.
On October 17th the exhibition will be in Madrid, from October 22th – 23th in Paris and on October 29th – 30th the exhibition will take place in Barcelona.

Do 'Hardcore Gamers' Still Matter?
April 20, 2006 12:14 AM | Simon Carless
The ever-lovin' GameSpy, which GSW thinks has perked up quite a bit with the arrival of news/feature guy Li Kuo, has posted a feature on whether the 'hardcore gamer' actually matters any more to game developers, publishers, or the industry in general.
7 Studios' Tina Kowalewski, when asked whether hardcore games can be harmful, notes sagely: "Sometimes, yes. It's a fine line to develop games that "anyone" could enjoy, and if you pay too much attention to pleasing the most vocal of your audience (the "hardcore" gamers), you run the risk of making the game unappealing to the market you're really going after (the "casual" gamers) by making it too difficult or specialized."
In addition, Dr. Greg and Dr. Ray from Sesame Street... uhh, BioWare, sound off on the future for the hardcore gamer, whoever that nebulous concept be, with Zeschuk commenting: "The hardcore gamer demographic will continue to grow as the industry grows; however, it might shrink proportionally against the wider swath of more casual gamers that are joining the market with the increasingly mainstream targeting of the new console systems. Ultimately, since we regard hardcore gamers more as experts in a specific type of game, there are more and more of these types of fans over time -- each specialized in a different genre of game."
[Of course, If you're reading this, you're probably an 'expert' at work, judging by the rest of GSW's obscuro content.]

How Does a Skunk Survive in the Wild?
By Margot Freeman
The sight of a skunk, with its ambling gait and recognizable bushy, black-and-white tail, is enough to send many people running in the opposite direction. Despite humans' wariness toward skunks, these animals have a high mortality rate in the wild, with between 50 and 70 percent of young skunks not living to see their second year.
Skunks, which can be found all over the Americas, Indonesia and the Philippines, can live in a variety of habitats, including open forests, meadows or caves, but eschew dense forests and wetlands. During the day, skunks find shelter in dens, which they might burrow themselves or borrow from another creature. During the winter, skunks will remain in their dens amidst beds of leaves and grass, but warmer months may tempt them to make homes above ground in thickets of vegetation.
Wild skunks are omnivorous and spend much of their waking time foraging for food. While they prefer insects material such as larvae, skunks also will eat vegetation and small invertebrates.
Wild skunks live solitary lives -- with the exception of mating season, which can last from two to three months, and during which a male skunk may seek out multiple females. They are not territorial animals and may breed with similar species. To communicate amongst one another, skunks use a variety of vocal signals, including grunts, growls and hisses, and typically do not display aggressive behavior unless threatened or ill with a disease such as rabies, to which skunks are particularly vulnerable.
Defensive Skills
Multiple larger animals prey on the skunk, including coyotes, foxes, American badgers, several types of big cats and large birds of prey such as eagles and great horned owls. Humans also pose a large threat to skunks by killing them off in order to control rabies. To protect itself and ward off predators, a skunk will first display a series of aggressive behaviors, including holding his tail erect, standing on his front paws and stomping his paws on the ground. If that fails, he will emit a foul-smelling substance from his anal glands: a sticky, fine mist of musk that will cause significant but impermanent eye irritation to his attacker.

Russia Will Cooperate With Any Elected US President, says President Putin
Denies Interference in U.S. Debate
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia will cooperate with any future President of the United States "who the American people will put their trust in."
Putin said recent debates between President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden shows "the level of political culture or absence of such," and said Russia will not interfere.
"We're an outside observer, we don't interfere. As for mutual ferocity or direct insults that you have just mentioned, what can be said? It shows the level of political culture or the absence of such. I reiterate we don't interfere. It's all dictated by the internal political process, internal political questions, by US own problems," Putin said.
Putin spoke in an interview with State Television that Russia appreciated the intentions of Trump to develop bilateral relations but admitted that some of his intentions hadn't been implemented.
"We have indeed achieved a lot in our bilateral relations. It's necessary to admit this. I won't list all the positive steps which were taken to build US-Russian relations, but they exist. However, the intentions that President Trump was speaking before haven't been implemented to a full extent," Putin said.
He blamed Trump's administration for extending sanctions against Russia 46 times, withdrawing from Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, and initiating the process of withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty.
Speaking about Democratic Candidate Joe Biden, Putin said that he has witnessed severe anti-Russian rhetoric but admitted he was sympathetic with social-democratic and liberal values of the Democrats.
Putin also praised Biden's intentions to extend the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty saying that it was a "serious part of our possible cooperation in the future."

Q: Oracle preferred columns lengths Does the multiplication factor of a column's length somehow influence the database performance?
In other words, what is the difference between the performance of the following two tables:
TBL1:
  - CLMN1 VARCHAR2(63)
  - CLMN2 VARCHAR2(129)
  - CLMN3 VARCHAR2(250)

and
TBL2:
  - CLMN1 VARCHAR2(64)
  - CLMN2 VARCHAR2(128)
  - CLMN3 VARCHAR2(256)

Should we always attempt to make a column's length to some power of 2 or does only the maximum size matter?
Some of the developers claim that there is some link between the multiplication factor of the length of the columns in a database, because it influences how Oracle distributes and saves the data on the disk and shares its cache in memory. Can someone prove or disprove this?

A: There is no difference in performance. And there are no hidden optimizations done because of power of 2.
The only thing that does make a difference in how things are stored is the actual data. 100 characters stored in a VARCHAR2(2000) column are stored exactly the same way as 100 characters stored in a VARCHAR2(500) column.
Think of the length as a business constraint, not as part of the data type. The only thing that should driver your decision about the length are the business constraints about the data that is put in there.
Edit: the only situation where the length does make a difference, is when you need an index on that column. Older Oracle versions (< 10) did have a limit on the key length and that was checked when creating the index.
Even though it's possible in Oracle 11, it might not be the wisest choice to have an index on a value with 4000 characters.
Edit 2:
So I was curious and setup a simple test:
create table narrow (id varchar(40));
create table wide (id varchar(4000));

Then filled both tables with strings composed of 40 'X'. If there was indeed a (substantial) difference between the storage, this should show up somehow when retrieving the data, right?
Both tables have exactly 1048576 rows.

There is a slight difference in consistent gets, but that could be due to caching.

The rare 18th century Chinese vase
A rare 18th century Chinese vase discovered by chance in an attic in France could fetch more than £500,000 at auction.

The Imperial 18th century Yangcai Famille-Rose porcelain vase, bearing a mark from the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r 1736-1795), is going under the hammer at Sotheby's in Paris in June, with an estimate of £430,000 to £610,000.
The vase was found by chance in the loft of a family home in France, and taken to Sotheby's Paris by its unsuspecting owners in a shoe box.
Research revealed the vase was a unique example produced by the finest craftsmen of the time for the Qianlong Emperor.
Left to the grandparents of the present owners by an uncle, the vase is listed among the contents of the latter's Paris apartment after his death in 1947.
It is recorded alongside several other Chinese and Japanese objects including other Chinese porcelains, two dragon robes, a yellow silk textile, and a bronze mirror in a carved lacquer box. The mirror will also be offered in the Sotheby's sale.
The only known example of its kind, the vase was produced by the Jingdezhen workshops for the courts of the Qianlong Emperor.
Famille Rose porcelains of the period (or yangcai porcelains, as they are known) are extremely rare on the market, with most examples currently in the National Palace Museum in Taipei and other museums around the world.
The vase has a body encircled by a landscape with deer, cranes and pine trees, all symbols of health and longevity.
On the rare occasions when pieces of this kind come to auction, they are the subject of fierce competition.
Earlier this year a Famille-Rose porcelain bowl sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong for £21.7 million.
The vase will be offered for sale at Sotheby's in Paris on June 12.

Colorado was a great place to grow up. My best friends were those at Slater Elementary School. We had fun together on the playground and in class. Lots of us played football together. And of course, we got in trouble together.
When viewed from above, Slater looked like a capital letter E with a small serif or protrusion out of the bottom of the upright. Each of the cross pieces of the E were wings and the front courtyard of the school was below the E. Between each of the wings was a grass courtyard where students were not supposed to play. (Why they had them I will never know.) The nice part about the design of the school was that each classroom had windows and a door to the outside. As a matter of fact, the whole outer wall of each classroom was windows. Even the door had a window. The bottom windows were about two or three feet from the ground and opened inward to about a 45 degree angle. The bottom of the window was the hinge and moved up slightly on the side rails. When opened, the windows were almost big enough for a third or fourth grader's head to fit through. One of my friends found out just how close.
From the front of the school (or the bottom of the E), the wings were divided by grades – first and second graders in the first, third and fourth graders in the second, and fifth and sixth graders in the third wing. Each wing had three classrooms which meant that there was one classroom of each grade and a combination class in each wing. The kindergartners were in the serif at the bottom of the E and the front office was at the bottom of the upright. From there, going up the upright, was the cafeteria, the library, the music room, and finally, the gym.
I still remember not only what the school looked like but I remember many of the teachers as well. I remember that they taught us not only how to read and write and do arithmetic and art but many other lessons as well. I also remember that they were the ones who sent us to the principal's office when we got into trouble. I remember the school and the teachers and many of the elementary school happenings like carnivals, concerts, and school plays. But mostly, I remember my friends. I remember the people with whom I attended Slater Elementary school.


these are my favorites! they are truely works of art!
These are gems of the first part of the 20th century. They are: stylish, elegant, and rich in their use of design and materials.
I love the Egyptian Revival with the glass cameos and the folded lines of copper. Its inspiration traced directly to the discovery of King Tut's tomb and all its splendor and wealth.

Business History Division
Our aim is to develop and popularize the field of Business History in Poland.

We teach thematic courses, such as: "The most famous companies and legendary entrepreneurs" and "Business History". In addition, we develop case studies and teaching materials, conduct field-trips to corporate museums and historical sites, and generate e-learning content on the history of Polish and international companies. We aim to develop relationships with historical businesses and the local community, including museums and archives in Poland and in the CEE region.

Contemporary Issues in Work and Management Division
We concentrate on issues that make contemporary labor, organization and management theory relevant and up-to-date. At the theoretical level, the core of our work is based on a "neo-disciplinary" theoretical and methodological dialogue, open to to critical, cross-disciplinary approaches. We embed our work in empirical research of processes of organizing and managing new types of workplaces and their socio-cultural contexts. Selected problems that we address concern: digitization of traditional workplaces, open innovations, platform capitalism, design, algorithmic workplaces, social reproduction and industry 4.0. While we teach a diverse range of modules, the primary goal of teaching is to engage students in a debate on the challenges faced by innovators, managers, employees and enterprises as well as to promote critical and open discussion embedded in a broad socio-economic context.

On his return from the 1993 Lions Tour to New Zealand, Wade Dooley was looking for a suitably hard game to re-introduce himself to the rigours of English Club Rugby. Quite naturally he begged the Strollers for a game and as we were a man short that week we were happy to oblige.
