Low-level waste (LLW) or Low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) is nuclear waste that does not fit into the categorical definitions for intermediate-level waste (ILW), high-level waste (HLW), spent nuclear fuel (SNF), transuranic waste (TRU), or certain byproduct materials known as 11e(2) wastes, such as uranium mill tailings. In essence, it is a definition by exclusion, and LLW is that category of radioactive wastes that do not fit into the other categories. If LLW is mixed with hazardous wastes as classified by RCRA, then it has a special status as mixed low-level waste (MLLW) and must satisfy treatment, storage, and disposal regulations both as LLW and as hazardous waste. While the bulk of LLW is not highly radioactive, the definition of LLW does not include references to its activity, and some LLW may be quite radioactive, as in the case of radioactive sources used in industry and medicine.

LLW includes items that have become contaminated with radioactive material or have become radioactive through exposure to neutron radiation. This waste typically consists of contaminated protective shoe covers and clothing, wiping rags, mops, filters, reactor water treatment residues, equipments and tools, luminous dials, medical tubes, swabs, injection needles, syringes, and laboratory animal carcasses and tissues. The radioactivity can range from just above background levels found in nature to very highly radioactive in certain cases such as parts from inside the reactor vessel in a nuclear power plant.

The definition of low-level waste is set by the nuclear regulators of individual countries, though the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provides recommendations. Some countries, such as France, specify categories for long-lived low- and intermediate-level waste. U.S. regulations do not define the category of intermediate-level waste.

Disposal

Depending on who "owns" the waste, its handling and disposal is regulated differently. All nuclear facilities, whether they are a utility or a disposal site, have to comply with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. The four low-level waste facilities in the U.S. are Barnwell, South Carolina; Richland, Washington; Clive, Utah; and as of June 2013, Andrews County, Texas. The Barnwell and the Clive locations are operated by EnergySolutions, the Richland location is operated by U.S. Ecology, and the Andrews County location is operated by Waste Control Specialists. Barnwell, Richland, and Andrews County accept Classes A through C of low-level waste, whereas Clive only accepts Class A LLW.  The DOE has dozens of LLW sites under management. The largest of these exist at DOE Reservations around the country (e.g. the Hanford Reservation, Savannah River Site, Nevada Test Site, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, to name the most significant).

Classes of wastes are detailed in 10 C.F.R. § 61.55 Waste Classification, enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, reproduced in the table below.  These are not all the isotopes disposed of at these facilities, just the ones that are of most concern for the long-term monitoring of the sites.  Waste is divided into three classes, A through C, where A is the least radioactive and C is the most radioactive.  Class A LLW is able to be deposited near the surface, whereas Classes B and C LLW have to be buried progressively deeper.

In 10 C.F.R. § 20.2002, the NRC reserves the right to grant a free release of radioactive waste. The overall activity of such a disposal cannot exceed 1 mrem/yr and the NRC regards requests on a case-by-case basis. Low-level waste passing such strict regulations is then disposed of in a landfill with other garbage. Items allowed to be disposed of in this way are: glow-in-the-dark watches (radium) and smoke detectors (americium) among other things.

LLW should not be confused with high-level waste (HLW) or spent nuclear fuel (SNF). C Class low level waste has a limit of 100 nano-Curies per gram of alpha-emitting transuranic nuclides with a half life greater than 5 years; any more than 100 nCi, and it must be classified as transuranic waste (TRU). These require different disposal pathways. TRU wastes from the U.S. nuclear weapons complex is currently disposed at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, though other sites also are being considered for on-site disposal of particularly difficult to manage TRU wastes.

Things I Learned From Movie X
Film Review: Foxcatcher (2014)
If Foxcatcher wasn't based on real events, it'd work great as an inventive restaging of Billy Wilder's Sunset Blvd. Like the earlier film, Foxcatcher deals with the increasingly strained relationship between a young man (in this case Channing Tatum) and an older patron (Steve Carell) which sees the former being more or less confined to the home of the latter in pursuit of shared glory. Swap out screenwriting for Olympic wrestling and the stories match up so well that you could imagine Wilder and Charles Brackett manipulating the real-life figures behind the scenes.
The film begins with Mark Schultz (Tatum) at a very low ebb. A gold medal-winning wrestler and former World Champion who has always been overshadowed by the efforts of his older brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo), Mark trains relentlessly but appears to be in danger of not being accepted on to the American team for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Things look likely to turn around when he is approached by John Du Pont (Carell), a billionaire and wrestling enthusiast who wants to create a world class wrestling team on his family's estate, known as Foxcatcher Farm, built around Mark and his brother. While Dave is initially unwilling to move his family for the sake of a job, even a highly lucrative one, Mark is more than willing to up stakes to live at Foxcatcher.
Foxcatcher is a story about class. Though set in the 1980s, and director Bennett Miller has been developing the film for a better part of a decade, its depiction of John E. du Pont is clearly informed by contemporary concerns about wealth disparity and the cloistered privilege of the one percent. As played by Carrell, du Pont is an awkward, pathetic creature who wants to be taken seriously by his domineering mother (Vanessa Redgrave) and who believes that he can achieve that by creating a world class, Gold medal-winning wrestling team. There's some sympathy to be drawn from such a naked desire to be seen as worthwhile, rather than as someone whose value is dependent on their inheritance. At the same time, his efforts to realise that worth - including a scene in which he takes part in an over-50s wrestling competition and wins because he quite clearly paid his opponent - are so cringeworthy that it's hard to sympathise with him too much.
Carrell's years of experience playing that sort of awkwardness for laughs on The Office comes in handy in portraying du Pont, who comes across as a version of Michael Scott that people have to tolerate, whether that means pretending to listen to him give talks on very elementary wrestling moves or doing lines of cocaine on the way to a benefit, because he's the one paying the bills. Foxcatcher is a meticulous study of how wealth inoculates against madness. The bubble created by his money prevents du Pont from seeing how off-putting he is because a lifetime of privilege makes him assume that he will get everything and anything he wants. The most telling example of this is his response to hearing that Dave won't come to Foxcatcher regardless of how much he is offered; he displays complete bafflement, like Mr. Burns trying to look up the meaning of "recycling." That works both ways, though, since that bubble also makes those around him assume that he's just eccentric, as opposed to potentially dangerous. He's a distinctly American figure, an apex of WASPy privilege, someone for whom "no" is simply not an option.
Contrasted against Carrell's studied mannerisms and stilted delivery is Channing Tatum, who gives a career best (so far) performance as Mark Schultz. Tatum plays Schultz as a man who's graceful and spry in the ring but barely articulate out of it. Every moment he's on screen, he radiates potential energy, a sense that he is seconds away from smashing everything in his sight. It's a spectacularly physical performance that reminded me of De Niro in Raging Bull and Tom Hardy in Bronson. This is a sentence that I could never have imagined writing a few years ago, but Channing Tatum really was robbed when he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar this year. He more fully embodies the frustration and ambition of his character better than pretty much any actor I saw in a film from last year.
Foxcatcher also represents an evolution of Bennett Miller's directorial style towards a kind of ambient storytelling. Some of that was on display in Moneyball, another film that was sport-adjacent rather than directly about sport, but this feels even more subdued and contemplative than anything he has done before. Like Brian Eno's work, Miller's film is marked by subtle shifts in tone, without any big crescendos. It maintains a mood, then modulates within it.
It's for that reason that the most ominous image from the film's trailer, of du Pont walking into the gym brandishing a gun while calling Mark's name, is actually one of the most innocuous in the context of the film itself: Miller shoots the entire film with an even dread that suggests Something Terrible could happen at any time. Even though it rarely does, that uneasiness is pervasive, and is punctuated by playful moments such as a scene in which du Pont shows up at Mark's house in the middle of the night and his face is framed in a window so that he looks like Max Schreck in Nosferatu. It's moments like that which reveal the Gothic underpinnings of Foxcatcher.
Those shifts allow the story to encompass allow Tatum, Carrell and Ruffalo to switch between being lead and supporting characters depending on what the scenes require. Initially the story is about the friendship between Mark and du Pont and how it sours, but at a certain point it becomes about John's relationship with his mother, who views his interest in wrestling as lowly and unworthy of a scion of the du Pont dynasty. There's a delicious irony to her attitude, which the film hints at without hammering it home too much, since there's a strong similarity between John's wrestling obsession and his mother's love of horse racing. In both cases they use their resources to fund a dilettantish interest in a sport where others do the hard work for them, primarily because they are too old to engage directly themselves, and they both collect fine specimens that they set to work on the same farm. The aforementioned scene in which du Pont and Mark go to a benefit feels like an owner showing off their prize stallion, while du Pont's actions towards the end of the film are certainly in keeping with those of an owner who sees no further value in an animal. There's a casual cruelty inherent in both generations of du Ponts, it's just that only one of them focuses it primarily at other people.

Channel 4 is set to open the phone lines at a call centre like no other - staffed entirely by celebrities, it's a helpline for the nation, where a team of all-star agony aunts will come together in aid of Stand Up to Cancer to advise the great British public on dilemmas, large and small.
Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh, Made in Chelsea's Georgia "Toff" Toffolo, comedians Mo Gilligan, and Joel Dommett, TV's Queen of Clean Kim Woodburn, Pineapple Dance Studios' Louie Spence, Countdown maths whizz Rachel Riley and Cuckoo actor Tyger Drew-Honey will be manning the lines at the Celebrity Call Centre, never knowing who'll be at the other end of the phone or what problem they'll be faced with.
They'll be advising on everything from how to get through a break up, to extra-marital affairs, and the perils of online dating. In the process they'll be opening up about their own life experiences and the challenges and heartache they've faced.
Celebrity Call Centre was commissioned by Channel 4 Formats Commissioning Editor Lee McMurray and Head of Formats Dom Bird. The one-off Stand Up to Cancer special will be made by Kerfuffle TV, with Steven D Wright as Executive Producer.

The extraordinary efficiency of the entire business structure is explained in part by superior management, as has been said, but also partly because they have eliminated several costly and time-consuming activities, freeing the citizens for more productive work. There is no army, no navy, no police force; there are no lawyers, bankers, or salesmen.
In English, Utopia is pronounced exactly as Eutopia (the latter word, in Greek Εὐτοπία [Eutopiā], meaning "good place," contains the prefix εὐ- [eu-], "good", with which the οὐ of Utopia has come to be confused in the English pronunciation).[4] This is something that More himself addresses in an addendum to his book Wherfore not Utopie, but rather rightely my name is Eutopie, a place of felicitie.[5]
It is a fundamental disposition of humankind to concoct imaginary Utopias, although their names for such places may differ. The word utopia, which has become the familiar designation for such states, was More's creation. It is inevitable that people, recognizing the manifold stupidities, corruptions, and inequities current in their society, should attempt to devise a better system for people living together. Omar Khayyam voiced the attitude admirably in The Rubaiyat.
Utopia has a more playful tone than one might think. While More's world is illustrating whatever point he is trying to get across, he is having fun engaging in creating his own world, as is demonstrated in the way he phrases "Then let me implore you, my dear Raphael,' said I, 'describe that island [Utopia] to us!"(Getty 323). He also says "When Raphael had finished his story, I was left thinking that quite a few of the laws and customs he had described as existing among the Utopians were really absurd." This demonstrates that he realizes his world is bizarre, and wants others to realize how out of place it was in their society. More is quite anxious to create his world, and pieces it together in great detail, taking pleasure in what makes world different from our own. However, he wants the reader to take his story seriously, which is why he bases it in reality, saying it is a part of the "New World." This being the parts of America and its surrounding islands discovered by Amerigo Vespucci in 1497.
beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. More had several children by his first wife. His daughter Margaret was considered to be the smartest woman in England being proficient in Latin, Greek and the classics. All of his children loved him. More indulged in scatological jokes; had countless pets and viewed life as a grand drama with him as an actor upon the stage of affairs.
" [A] permanent possibility of selfishness arises from the mere fact of having a self, and not from any accidents of education or ill-treatment. And the weakness of all Utopias is this, that they take the greatest difficulty of man and assume it to be overcome, and then give an elaborate account of the overcoming of the smaller ones. They first assume that no man will want more than his share, and then are very ingenious in explaining whether his share will be delivered by motor-car or balloon. "
(Singapore) With Indian, Malay, and Chinese influences, the island nation of Singapore has a unique culture that is easily revealed by exploring its various ethnic neighborhoods and exotic local cuisine. This spring, Semester at Sea will be in Singapore during the Chinese New Year and students will be able to observe and participate in the cultural celebrations.
There are several religions on the island: moon-worshipers, sun-worshipers, planet-worshipers, ancestor-worshipers and monotheists, but each is tolerant of the others. Only atheists are despised (but allowed) in Utopia, as they are seen as representing a danger to the state: since they do not believe in any punishment or reward after this life, they have no reason to share the communistic life of Utopia, and will break the laws for their own gain. They are not banished, but are encouraged to talk out their erroneous beliefs with the priests until they are convinced of their error. Raphael says that through his teachings Christianity was beginning to take hold in Utopia. The toleration of all other religious ideas is enshrined in a universal prayer all the Utopians recite.
Utopia is placed in the New World and More links Raphael's travels in with Amerigo Vespucci's real life voyages of discovery. He suggests that Raphael is one of the 24 men Vespucci, in his Four Voyages of 1507, says he left for six months at Cabo Frio, Brazil. Raphael then travels further and finds the island of Utopia, where he spends five years observing the customs of the natives.
The importance of More's Utopia in the history of utopian literature begins to be clear as we examine the documents published in the century following its publication. Patterns of uniformity and occasional divergences have been displayed. The utopian societies described — without exception — develop systems aiming toward equality and justice. Equality is attained in nearly every instance through community of property and the elimination of money, also through equitable sharing of labor, community rearing of children, and often community dining. Plain, uniform clothing is usually prescribed, and any kind of luxury or ostentation is discouraged, Bacon's New Atlantis excepted. The governments are made up of carefully selected elders of demonstrated character and competence. Variations appear in connection with the question of community of women, proposed by Plato but rejected by More. Campanella and some later writers follow Plato but most follow More. The acceptance of slavery in the community, approved by both Plato and More, is not adopted by their followers.
Logan's Run (1976) is a science fiction film based on a novel of the same name by writers William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. One of the most celebrated dystopian movies of all time depicts theme that was explored in many literary and film projects – a seemingly idyllic futuristic society encased in a dome in which entire human civilization lives a pleasant life without any limitations or hardships. But this world has a single dark flaw – everyone's lifespan is limited to 30 years, and the majority of people willfully accepts this fact. The film follows Logan 5 (played by Michael York), one of the enforcement officers that captures "runners" - fugitives who decided to run away from the government so that they could be live longer. His normal life is turned upside down when he is tasked to infiltrate a group of runners and their hidden sanctuary, but instead of illegal operation he expected to find, he discovers the entrance to the beautiful untouched outside world.
The optimistic views which the author held regarding the inevitable progress of human society were somewhat undermined by the events of World War I, as is demonstrated in his later writings. He came to question whether or not scientific progress would always achieve social improvement. His warning of the possibility of developing mind control through blatant advertising and through drugs is prophetic.
The book itself is a social commentary on the excesses of 16th Century Europe. Often viewed as one of the first communist treatises, Utopia represents both More's personal opinion, as well as devil's advocacy on topics such as religious tolerance, capital punishment, labor and industry as well as social and political topics. More's genius and foresight are evident 500 years later, as many of the elements of Utopia have come to pass in the 20th and 21st Centuries - with mixed results.
Edward Bellamy, Looking Backward: 2000-1887. Published in 1888, Bellamy's novel imagining a perfect future society spawned a nationwide movement in America. (It also predicted electronic broadcasting and credit cards.) Bellamy's plan for a 'cloud palace for an ideal humanity' also helped to inspire the garden city movement in the US and the UK. The best edition is Looking Backward 2000-1887 (Oxford World's Classics).
The rulers in the City of the Sun are men of superior intelligence and probity. The head of the government is called Hoh. His chief ministers are Pon, Sin, and Mor, which are translated Power, Wisdom, and Love. The requisites for the chief are a familiarity with the history of all kingdoms and their governments, a thorough knowledge of all sciences, and a mastery of metaphysics and theology. This concept of a head of state is clearly reminiscent of Plato's philosopher-king. The word Hoh means metaphysics.
The multiplayer component of Journey was designed to facilitate cooperation between players without forcing it, and without allowing competition.[13] It is intended to allow the players to feel a connection to other people through exploring with them, rather than talking to them or fighting them.[11] The plan was "to create a game where people felt they are connected with each other, to show the positive side of humanity in them".[13] The developers felt the focus on caring about the other player would be diluted by too many game elements, such as additional goals or tasks, as players would focus on those and "ignore" the other player.[13] They also felt having text or voice communication between players or showing usernames would allow players' biases and preconceptions to come between them and the other player.[17]


I like acorn squash. I do not like to peel acorn squash. The grooves make these tiny squash almost impossible to peel, especially considering how small they are and how little flesh they actually yield. Many people bake or steam acorn squash halves exactly for this reason, leading me to see if I could get an acorn squash ready to eat within 20 minutes of cutting it in half. The Instant Pot works its magic as usual using only a half a cup of water to cook the squash. The quick 5 minute cooking window yields a squash that still has some texture and bite to it left, yet you could always cook it for a couple minutes longer, or let the pressure release naturally (instead of the quick release method) if you want a softer acorn squash for a mash or puree.
Use a fork to pull out your cooked squash from it's shell, or allow to cool and remove meat by hand and enjoy!
I imagine that it says 15 min because the InstaPot takes time to come up to temperature and pressure before the 5min starts counting down.
InstaPot recipes can be a bit misleading because the pot takes time to come up to temperature and pressure before the cooking time (5min in this case) begins.
I'm guessing that's taking into account the pot coming to preasure.
Since I like added flavors, i sprinkled a little nutmeg onto the ½-tbsp of butter and 1-tsp brown sugar in each half. Cooked for 7 mins. on high, which made the squash nicely soft for one of my first solids after radiation in the throat..!
5 minutes was not close to long enough. I thought it seemed low but I did it anyway, but as I suspected it was way too hard. Put it back in for another 5 minutes and it was closer but still could have used another 1-2 minutes. Next time I'd cook them for 12 minutes.

Dr. Seuss is perhaps one of the most pronounced authors of all time. He wrote short stories that not only captivated the minds of our younger generation, but taught us valuable life lessons. In a world where so much information is being passed around on the web, it may help us by taking in some simple Seuss.
"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple." Dr. Seuss throughout his life can teach us lessons with his quotes, but also with his personal life story. Here are 6 things that bloggers can learn from the legend, Dr. Seuss.
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." – Oh, The Places You'll Go!
Reading will keep you relevant and true; learning is something you must choose to do. Never underestimate the value of learning something new, from new social media sites to a new piece of technology like the 4G Slide Android Phone.
There is always a better way to blog, market, or reach your audience. Learn from people, learn from experience and learn from example. Think about content critically. Asking questions like, "how can this apply to my blog?" and "where does this fit with what I already know?" The more articles and content you read, the more confusing things get unless you are learning from each.
The Cat in the Hat was created to help children learn how to read. In 1954, Life Magazine published a finding that concluded children were not learning to read because the books they were assigned to read was boring.
You can never underestimate the importance of learning.
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose." – Oh, The Places You'll Go!
Lesson: The future is up to you.
You are free to write whatever you please, it can be bees or it could be cheese.
Often used as a graduation quote, the lesson can be applied to almost anything in life. Do what you love, and blog about what you know. If you hate what you are writing about, it will often translate to your page.
Today, content is so transparent that it is important to make sure you put love in to each and every post you make. Social media has allowed small, passionate bloggers to create communities around their work. You can never do this if you have no strategic direction.
Lesson: Don't dwell on the past and learn from mistakes.
PR blunders and marketing sorrows, make your blog more prepared for tomorrow.
As bloggers, success rarely ever comes overnight. It may take months if not years to establish a niche in the blogging community. Dr. Seuss didn't publish his first book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street until he was 33, after it was rejected 27 times. It takes persistence and forward thinking minds to create great things in this world. Dwelling on the past will only burden you.
"A person's a person, no matter how small." – Horton Hears a Who!
Lesson: Value each and every one of your customers.
It doesn't matter if it's a pauper or prince, as long as you are engaging an audience.
You should value each and every one of your visitors individually. Have a boutique approach to your blogging. Although it is important to create content for scale, most niche communities are founded on captivating small audiences.
"So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life's a great balancing act." – Oh, The Places You'll Go!
Lesson: Think before you act.
Everything you say, and everything you do, will have a consequence to you.
Life is a great balancing act. Everything has a consequence. So whether you are humanizing a blog or you take controversial stances on popular topics, be sure to step with care and great tact. Holding an opinion is important for any writer/blogger.
Lesson: Plan for unexpected change.
We all face risk from time to time; it's those who prepare that shimmer and shine.
Ted Giesel (Dr. Seuss) attended Dartmouth College, where he worked on the humor magazine section called the Jack-O-Lantern. He soon would become the editor in chief, before being forced to resign from the Jack-O-Lantern for getting caught drinking gin in his room.
There were a lot curveballs thrown Seuss's way. He continued to contribute to the Jack-O-Lantern under the alias "Seuss" which he would keep for the remainder of his career.
Dr. Seuss can teach us a lot about blogging, marketing, and entrepreneurship. His concepts were so simple that they leave room for interpretation. Seuss is an inspiration for people ages 5 to 95, but he didn't achieve stardom from luck alone. He followed his passions and did what he knew best, and so should you!
What Have Your Learned From Dr. Seuss?
What valuable blogging and life lessons have you learned from Dr. Seuss? Please share in the comments!

Beyhive Calls Out Racism For Beyonce's 'Homecoming' Emmys Snub
Kevin Winter, Getty Images
Beyonce's documentary Homecoming was praised for its celebration of black culture and the Coachella performance in which it showcases was downright historic. Unsurprisingly, the film was nominated for six Emmys (outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), outstanding costumes for variety, non-fiction or reality programming; outstanding directing for a variety special; outstanding music direction; outstanding production design for a variety special and outstanding writing for a variety special) and the queen herself was personally nominated in all categories but outstanding costumes and production design. What was surprising, however, was the fact that the documentary went home empty handed at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony Saturday night (September 14).
What's even more discouraging is what Homecoming lost to: Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney Live From Liverpool for best variety special (pre-recorded); RuPaul's Drag Race for best costumes for variety, nonfiction or reality programming; Springsteen on Broadway for best directing for a variety special; Fosse/Verdon for best music direction; Rent for outstanding production design for a variety special; and Hannah Gadsby: Nanette for best writing for a variety special. While we can understand RuPaul winning best costumes, Homecoming lost to Carpool Karaoke. Really?! Naturally, the Beyhive was not pleased and believe the color of Beyonce's skin has something to do with her snub.
"It's deeper than Beyoncé winning/losing at the #Emmys it's just broadcast no matter how much blood, sweat, & tears Black Woman put into their craft..they still will be snubbed to their white counterparts!" one fan tweeted. "@Beyonce I love you for always bringing our Culture to the forefront!"

Thousands marched in Portugal on Thursday to celebrate the almost bloodless revolution 45 years ago that ended its four-decade-long dictatorship, while politicians said that economic and social developments had not matched its democratic advance.
A press officer told CNN that the bus, which was carrying 56 people on board when it crashed, was going down a steep road, when it lost control and went down a cliff on the Portuguese island of Madeira.
A tour bus carrying German tourists crashed on Portugal's Madeira Island on Wednesday, killing 29 people and injuring 28 others, local authorities said.


that made a difference in an individual's ability to cope with stressors more effectively. Individuals possessing psychological hardiness seemed to be able to creatively adapt to challenges. This appeared to increase the life span and also positively impacted relationships, family life and work. Vaillant noted psychologically healthy people are more adaptive and flexible. They tend to have a stable family life and a satisfying marriage. They make steady progression in their careers and demonstrate an absence of any disabling mental or physical illness. They often have a companion, as opposed to living alone. They are not likely to abuse substances but may drink moderately. Perhaps they deal with their stress by finding constructive solutions rather than resorting to alcohol or other substances of abuse.
Maddi, S.R., Harvey, R.H., Khoshaba, D.M., Lu, J.L., Persico, M. and Brow, M. The personality construct of hardiness, III: Relationships with repression, innovativeness, authoritarianism, and performance. Journal of Personality. 74 (2): 575–597. (2006).
Thomas W. Miller, Ph.D., ABPP, is a Professor Emeritus and Senior Research Scientist, Center for Health, Intervention and Prevention, University of Connecticut and Professor, Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine and Department of Gerontology, College of Public Health, University of Kentucky.
Psychological hardiness is an individual's resistance to stress, anxiety and depression. It includes the ability to withstand grief and accept the loss of loved ones. Alternative medicine is a more popular term for health and wellness therapies that have typically not been part of conventional Western medical approaches but are often used along with conventional medicinal protocols.
Coping and dealing with stress in a positive manner play a major role in maintaining the balance needed for health and well-being. Dr. George Vaillant began following 185 young men from Harvard University for a period of almost 40 years, making it one of the longest follow-up studies in human development. Vaillant was very surprised to find people who had been healthy and robust in their youth could die suddenly and prematurely because of their tendency to react poorly to stress. Vaillant's research team noted people with poor psychological health – that is, poor stress-coping skills – were particularly vulnerable to premature death especially if they were depressed or psychologically unstable. In this group of 185 men, 48 were identified as having a poor ability for coping with stress. Out of these 48, 18 died by age 53. In comparison, only two people with good psychological health died by the same age.

Forget everything you think you know about motels. Far from dingy or outdated, these high-design beauts give traditional hotels a run for their money. From bucolic upstate New York to post-card perfect Malibu, these are the motels we're checking into next.
When hotelier and co-founder of Eagle Point Hotel Partners Erik Warner decided to complete a hipster-satisfying, high-design revamp of a 1950s motel in Jackson, Wyoming, he did so with a well-defined vision in mind. Having previously worked the front desk of the hotel as an intern in '96—when he was a college student—before buying the property from its original owners, he wanted to get everything just right. When he contracted Brooklyn-based Studio Tack, the designers were first tasked with spending a year in Teton County before starting work on the hotel. Opened this past spring—in the shadow of Yellowstone National Park—the Anvil Hotel is a study in all-things great American west. The lobby functions as a mercantile with Western-leaning products, rooms are done up with vintage-esque brass fixtures, custom iron beds, and rustic wainscoting, and mini bars include elk jerky.
Together, NOLA-based Drifter Hotels and design firm Nicole Cota Studio brought streamlined modernism to this former 1950s motel on an industrial stretch of Tulane Avenue in New Orlean's Mid-City neighborhood. Inspired by "subcultural nonconformity" and the Beat Generation of postwar America, the low-rise hotel is an eclectic mix of Oaxacan tilework, retro accents, a tropical courtyard pool (with a cantilevered disco ball), and hip cuisine (think: specialty La Colombe coffee, Japanese sake, food trucks, and plenty of on-property pop-ups).
After the Winter Olympics swept through Squaw Valley in 1960, a crop of motels popped up in South Tahoe to accommodate the subsequent tourism boom. Two of these motels were The Green Lantern and The Royal Coachman, which in 2016 were re-envisioned as the Coachman Hotel. Just a few blocks from Lake Tahoe, the 42-room nouveau motel is all about mid-century rustic design. Simple rooms feature hand-built vanities, platform plywood beds, Malin + Goetz bath products, and rubber flooring 'wet' areas for skis, boards, and boots. When you're not in your room, explore the hotel's social scene by hitting the pool or hot tub, challenging friends to a game of corn hole, or indulging in complimentary evening s'mores.
This 30-room seaside retreat in Montauk nods to its past life as a 1950s motel with original, unassuming architecture. But inside, staying true to the East End's laid back style, rooms are boho chic with imported Balinese accents (think: woven chairs, macrame wall hangings, and wicker pendant lighting). Whether you visit over the summer or during off season, you'll find plenty to do; there's a cabana-dotted pool area, garden bonfire pits, complimentary morning yoga sessions, and direct access to Umbrella beach.
LA-based designers Tracy Beckman and Ryan Trowbridge are to thank for the glamorous resurrection of this four-villa modernist icon. Originally designed by lauded architect John Lautner—and formerly known as the Desert Hot Springs Motel—the 600-acre compound blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living with retro-terrarium inspired villas that remain true to Lautner's mid-century modern aesthetic. Mad Men–ready furniture by design legends from Thonet to Bertoia to Milo Baughman mingle with private succulent and cactus gardens, desert-baked white stucco walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The once sleepy town of Hudson has become one of upstate New York's trendiest destinations: there's endless antiques and design shops, gourmet markets and restaurants, and, now, stylish new hotels adding to the buzz. One of the latest, Rivertown Lodge, occupies the former Warren Inn Motel which was previously a two-story movie theater from the 1920s (you'll still find the white marquee hanging over Warren Street). Here, custom-built furniture comes courtesy of Workstead, a local design studio that also had a hand in Brooklyn's Wythe Hotel. Elsewhere, white oak floors, brass bathroom faucets, vintage record players, and a muted color scheme of pale yellows, greens, and reds in the 27 rooms—some have corner cabin beds with tartan overthrows and screened-in porches—complete the Americana vibe.
It's hard to imagine a more exclusive hideaway than this long-in-the-making Malibu resort by celeb chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Perched above the postcard-perfect sand of Carbon Beach, the 16-room, two-story resort is now equal parts Cali-modernism and Asian minimalism, but it started off as a historic 1950s motel. Inspired by Japanese ryokans (traditional inns often with hot springs), every element of the sleek design is meant to be in tune with the California coastline's natural beauty, from oceanfront teak soaking tubs to lofty skylights, shoji screens to earthy textiles. As far as dining goes—you know everything is on point. Chef Matsuhisa brings inventive dishes and bold cocktails that were inspired by his time spent in Tokyo and Peru.
Outdoorsy folks and design fanatics will want to check this renovated 50s motel in Salida off their list. The boutique's clean, simple design comes in the form of Baltic birch bed frames, concrete countertops, accent pillows from the Citizenry, and stark white and black walls. When you're not Instagramming your room, you'll find plenty of scenic trails (try those around Waterdog Lake) and challenging hikes (there are numerous ridges that exceed 14,000-feet, AKA 14ers) right in Amigo's backyard.
Given its February 2017 facelift, you'd never know that the Farmer's Daughter was once known around the block as a "no-tell' motel. Residential and country inspired rooms are art-driven, with pieces from local artisans, custom-made Adirondack rocking chairs, denim duvets, and matching plaid curtains and pillows. The hotel's homey appeal extends to its dining scene, as well; onsite TART serves family-style brunch, happy hour classic cocktails, and a weekly revolving evening menu, in a way that feels like you're at a friend's intimate dinner party. When you do feel like leaving the property, You'll find the LA Farmers Market, the Grove, CBS Television City, and the boutiques on 3rd Street are all within easy walking distance.

Although employing switches in your house is fairly quick, wiring a single may not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will discover various kinds of switches, but for this instance, let us say you will be installing a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely popular switch (as well as easiest).
There are 3 colours of wires in a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and join them around the terminal screws - a person on top rated along with the other on the bottom screw from the change. The white wire serves being a supply of uninterrupted electrical power and it is normally linked to some mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the eco-friendly wire towards the ground screw of your respective switch.
These measures would frequently be sufficient to make a typical change work with out a problem. Then again, in the event you are certainly not self-confident you can attain the activity thoroughly and safely and securely you much better enable the pros get it done as a substitute. Soon after all, you will find a motive why this task is among the most typical electrical wiring concerns requested by most people.
For a few purpose, how to wire a ceiling fan is likewise amongst by far the most common electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this endeavor, you can utilize a single switch to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it can be only a matter of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan for the black wire from the change. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire must be related for the black wire of your swap in addition.
There are actually causes why these are typically one of the most frequently requested electrical wiring concerns. A person, quite a few believe it is really very simple to perform, and two, they are the typical electrical duties at your house.

Seasonal Flu Deaths More Common Worldwide Than Expected
Marcia Frellick
Between 291,000 and 646,000 people die each year globally from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses, according to new estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and global health partners.
The new estimates are higher than the previous estimate of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths annually. The estimates were calculated using data from 47 countries between 1999 and 2015, and exclude deaths during pandemics.
Adults aged over 75 years and adults in low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia were hardest hit, note A. Danielle Iuliano, PhD, from the CDC's Influenza Division in Atlanta, Georgia, and colleagues.
"These findings remind us of the seriousness of flu and that flu prevention should really be a global priority," Joe Bresee, MD, associate director for global health in the CDC's Influenza Division and a study coauthor, said in a press release.
Previous mortality estimates for global influenza were calculated more than a decade ago and details on methods were lacking. Now, more countries are able to calculate numbers of deaths from seasonal flu. Additionally, this survey provides age- and country-specific data.
Rates Highest in 75-Plus Group
Authors found average excess mortality rates ranged from 0.1 to 6.4 per 100,000 in people younger than 65 years to 2.9 to 44 per 100,000 for the 65-74 group and 17.9 to 223.5 per 100,000 for those older than 75.
By region, the highest mortality rates were in sub-Saharan Africa (2.8 to 16.5 per 100,000 people) and Southeast Asia (3.5 to 9.2 per 100,000).
In an accompanying comment, Sheena Sullivan, PhD, from the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, Australia, said the statistics by country are particularly useful.
"Often, no mortality estimates are available for low-income and lower-middle-income countries, where limited healthcare infrastructure and the competing demands of other communicable and, increasingly, non-communicable diseases might dominate allocation of health resources," she said.
She notes that the authors recommend wider use of vaccines, but that is more realistic in high-income countries, which are more likely to have influenza vaccination programs and policies in place, she says.
The WHO recommends vaccinating people most susceptible to influenza infection, including older adults.
"However, current influenza vaccines are imperfect and the expected benefits of vaccination programmes might be overstated, especially in elderly people," she writes. She notes that previous modelling has shown that at least some of the reason for the low efficacy of vaccines in the elderly may be due to repeated vaccinations instead of age.
Nonrespiratory Causes Need Study
Dr Sullivan also notes that, even with the higher estimates, the new study may underestimate the true death toll from influenza because it doesn't include deaths attributable to nonrespiratory causes. The authors also note that those causes need to be investigated because influenza can create or make worse other factors such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, which are then listed as cause of death on death certificates.
Dr Iuliano and colleagues say that information from the survey can help countries better understand the burden of the infections and importance of detection, prevention, and control.
Dr Sullivan agrees: "The study by Iuliano and colleagues has clearly highlighted the considerable mortality burden associated with seasonal influenza and the need for effective prevention strategies. What is less clear is whether our current prevention strategies are adequate to reduce this burden."
Statistical modeling from data from 33 of the 47countries was used to generate an estimate of deaths for 185 countries across the world. Data from the other 14 countries were used to validate estimates.
Coauthors report grants from the CDC, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Health and Medical Research Fund of Hong Kong, Harvard Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, and the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong during the conduct of the study; grants from Sanofi Pasteur and the Foundation for Influenza Epidemiology; and travel expenses paid for by the Global Influenza Initiative and Parexel outside the submitted work.
Dr Sullivan has disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Candyman Shadows Shameful History
June 18, 2020 Derek McCaw Movies 0
"Candyman, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs," writes director Nia DaCosta about her upcoming "spiritual sequel" to the classic horror film. She released a short prequel online yesterday. (The film is currently scheduled to be released September 25, 2020.)
Produced by Manual Cinema with music by Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, it's haunting. Over the past few weeks, we've been inundated with video and images of that white violence — present and oft-overlooked past. This shadow puppet presentation weaves allusions to historical events in with the fictional narrative of the monstrous and tragic spirit of Candyman. And if they're not specific historical cases (I think they all are), they are certainly accurate composites. Don't look away from this.
https://twitter.com/NiaDaCosta/status/1273293842113089536?s=20
The original 1992 Candyman was based on a Clive Barker short story, "The Forbidden," where the malevolent spirit of the Candyman was much closer to a villain in the Doctor Who arc, "The Happiness Patrol." Much as I loved that original short story, even in 1992 the remix made more sense, especially grounded in Tony Todd's performance. In 2020 it makes even more sense, has more context, and demands we judge ourselves as our society keeps creating unwilling martyrs. I cannot wait for this film.

we are the browns: paris | along the seine.
paris | along the seine.
the seine felt to us the heartbeat of paris. we walked alongside it, one by one, stepping in each other's footsteps, and it was heaven. i experienced heaven in those moments.
we browsed the bouqinistes, we bought a crêpe off the street, we found a perch from which to be a part of it all, to sit waiting for the lights to come on.


From Target to Home Depot, security breaches are being discovered at an alarming rate. In fact, reports have cited a 48 percent increase in cyber attacks from 2013 to 2014. With charitable giving totaling more than $16 billion in 2014, nonprofits are becoming increasingly enticing targets for cyber criminals. As this happens, potential donors are becoming more concerned with the safety of their personal and financial information.
While the financial repercussions of a breach are damaging, with reports showing that the average breach costs around $720,000, the impact on donor relationships is of even greater concern. Trust, more than anything, is crucial to maintaining and nurturing donor relationships. Nonprofits and the organizations that support them must evaluate their security IQ and put the right security in place to protect donor information from being compromised.
Physical security should be the first line of defense in protecting donor information and step #1 in improving a nonprofit's security IQ. Complete 24/7/365 surveillance is critical for safeguarding donations and donor information. First, nonprofits and any organizations that handle their information should ensure access to the facility is carefully controlled and security cameras are in place. Additionally, the movement of the mail from the Post Office to the processing facility should be handled by at least two staff members that have had complete background checks and the movement of the vehicle should be tracked using GPS technology.
Other items to address include providing photo ID badges for all staff and restricting access to various departments in the facility based on job function. Many nonprofits receive cash in addition to check and credit card donations. With cash donations, a process known as tray seeding is recommended to confirm that cash is properly processed. Before trays of remittance envelopes are given to employees for processing, managers photocopy the contents of the envelopes including any cash. Once employees have completed their trays, the processed mail is cross-referenced with the original photocopies to make sure all cash is still intact. Trash bins should also be checked for any irregularities.
Dealing with data security issues may be challenging or even a bit intimidating for nonprofits that are already stretched thin, but a nonprofit doesn't need to be a security genius to intelligently address data security. It is important to start with the basics.
Consider beginning with standard data security software. Data security software can include firewalls, antivirus software, spam and spyware software, activity monitoring software, data-loss prevention software and intrusion detection software. These solutions can track where a threat originated, making it easier to combat security issues if they do occur. Overall, security software is critical to protect against intrusions and provide valuable security feedback to your nonprofit.
Data encryption is also important to incorporate into your security strategy. Nonprofits and donation processors should provide end-to-end data encryption on all inbound and outbound data files. Once data is encrypted, it is wise to conduct random network penetration tests to ensure that the network remains secure. It is best to conduct these tests at least four times per year.
Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) guidelines can help nonprofits and their donation processors ensure they are safely processing credit card gifts. PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance provides nonprofits a framework for developing a robust payment card data security process that includes prevention, detection and reaction to security incidents. This is an important area as the fines for non-compliance are significant.
When thinking about nonprofit security best practices, always remember what is being protected: valuable donor relationships. Donor trust – or lack thereof – directly impacts a nonprofit's ability to fundraise successfully. Supporting key areas including physical security, data security and compliance, positions nonprofits to boost their security IQ and take the strongest stance against threats to the safety of donor information.
As a helpful resource, we encourage you to take our nonprofit security assessment to gauge your nonprofit security IQ.


I've played this game more often and more consistently than any other.
Wait, too fast. What is the game actually about?
Night is setting in – but it's not just the cold you should be afraid of. There are werewolves amongst you.
The players are secretly divided between two teams – humans and werewolves. This is done by giving each player a card with their role (and any secret powers) face-down. The humans are trying to work out who the werewolves are whilst the werewolves are trying to avoid being found.
There are three phases to the game itself – night, day and lynching.
But the essence of the game is the day phase – there are no rules here. You have five minutes to discuss what you know, what you want to know and what is going to happen when you vote.
The game finishes with a lynching – all the players vote for who they want to face justice (or injustice …). The majority rule – and the voted player reveals their card.
Ideally, they do it slowly.
They gingerly tip up an edge of their card before pausing to make direct eye contact with their accusers – their killers. Tension now fully built, they suddenly flip their card over.
If they are a human the werewolves have won and vice versa (well, almost always).
So how come you like it so much?
There's a formal sense in which you might think One Night Ultimate Werewolf (I'll just call it Werewolf for short) could be reduced down to combinatorics. There are after all only a limited number of permutations of roles amongst the players.
But then the lying starts.
Your friend, or even a family member, sits opposite you. And with a smiling untroubled expression tells you lie after lie. And worse, no one around the table believes you when you call them out on it. Your truth goes ignored. And when the time comes to vote the group go for you. You end the game strung up – untrusted by your nearest and dearest. And across the table – content with their success – sits your killer.
How did they ever get away with that? How did they do that? How did they know to play the situation like that.
You're going to have just as much fun talking out what happened as you did making it happen.
Werewolf is a game whose roots can be traced back to a psychological experiment! The original game is called 'Mafia' and it sparked a whole new genre of games – social deduction.
In terms of Mafia's rules – imagine a grand filling out of the ideas in 'Wink Murder'. But it's those added elements that are why these types of games are so special. Wink murder is a silent game – but Mafia is the complete opposite. It's a game all about talking.
And that's the attraction of the social deception genre to me – they're at heart 'talking games'. The rules and the systems at play are just prompts to get the players talking to each other. Everything else is secondary. Your only weapon is your voice, your only defence is your poker face.
Werewolf is an intensification of the original Mafia game in that it avoids multiple rounds in the same game. You have one chance to catch the werewolves or only one round you need to hide from the humans.
It's also a purer game in that there is no player elimination. In Mafia you could be eliminated in round 1 and there are another 11 to go where you're not playing – just watching.
And because the game system is run by an app – the game quite literally explains itself. It's incredibly easy to set up a game – anywhere, anytime. We regularly play it when we're out and about. All you need are a few things to write on and your phone.
Werewolf is far better than any other game I've experienced in allowing people to express themselves, to play with roles and create stories.
It's a game that's never failed to get players sighing, shouting or smiling.
We have fun, we have an experience.
It chimes with a rule of thumb of mine that the better the experience the more it centres on who you were with. Ultimately, people are so much more interesting than the happen-stance details of where you were or what you saw and did. The rule holds true for holidays, nights out and I think Werewolf is the perfect example of why it's true for games too.
So when I think about what games can be I think about how Werewolf manages to transcend the uninteresting problem of dissecting role distribution using a pool of limited information.
And I think about the time my wife and my mum teamed up to have me killed.


What if there is another problem?
It is an amusing read in Tea Party Convention Drama Fueled by Emerging GOP Alliance: Grassroots Groups Angered by High Fees for Palin Speech since it will take folks into the 'for profit' approach to political partyHood. Now do not get me wrong here. If one truly believes in the majikal mystical powers of the Invisible Imaginary Foote of the Free Market, then selling the access to the political party is such an elegant proof of concept in ways that few other things can be!
Given that the so called 'scam' comes from the folks creating the whole 'tea bagger excess' game is probably not something that one should be blaming the GOP for having caused. Unless of course one has so totally merged the TeaBaggers and the GOP in RINO RAVE ways that were the core purpose of selling america that TeaBagger way.
So what if we could have a chance to ask how much 'financializing' and 'commoditizing' of 'democracy' will still be gooder for the Repulbic? And when is it a good idea to accept that there are fiscally sound reasons to create a government and delegate to it tasks that are not viable by other means. Could it be that the whole HORROR of the evil liberal 'opposition to poll taxes' has, well, comically raised it's ugly head on the so called right wing here? Could it be that the folks who were once the foot soldiers of the myths of FreeMarketarianism are wondering if they are being leveraged out of their own religious cult, because they can not raise the 'poll tax' needed to even attend their own convention. But what if they had to wake up and find out that they were no longer in a place where they could expect law enforcement, or fire protection, or even 'their day in court' unless they could come up with the requisite 'poll tax' that showed that they should be protected by some sort of Governmental intervention into the private sector.
Now do not get me wrong folks. I am not opposed to the Reductio Ad Absurdum, simply because it is an absurdity. I am personally offended at their Reductio because they are not willing to sell it at market prices!
The alternative strategy might be to evaluate what a 'free republic' would mean in the total myth space of MarketMadness? And is that a policy model that one really want to have at the root of one's myths about how the cosmos works?
I am not sure that I have a way out for the TeaBaggers, since, well, clearly, if this were their 'time of war', then, uh, by their own admittance and allegations to standards, they have other issues on their plate, like how to prevent themselves from shooting themselves for being the sorta folks who are not willing to support the president to support the troops!
Gosh, how are we gonna get them to put down their bongs long enough to find a way back home where they can stop hating themselves that much, that they can, well, work on at least prioritizing their issues, and then sorting out which are really worth working on in the real world.
Hum..... What if there have been a wide variety of problems in the psuedoCon movements that keep revolving around a simple abandonment of reasoning. Since if they were willing to watch where their ideas were going, they might not be surprised that their ideas got there.... Or were we suppose to simply demand that the Kommisariate of ThotProtection was suppose to protect them from the growing threat of their own ideas!

Q: Wordpress 3.1 problem, getting 404 Today morning I updated my wordpress, everything was fine, but suddenly I came to know that if I click on any post which is not having custom taxonomies selected in it, are giving me 404 pages.
I thought this is due to some plugins, so I deactivated all the plugins, and then I checked, everything was working, then I activated one by one plugin and came to know the actual plugin due to which I was getting 404 is GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools plugin, which I was using for creating custom Taxonomies.
But my other posts were working without 404, so i dig my head more into my wordpress, and came to know  that my url structure is not supporting wordpress 3.1
In my permalinks structure, I am using custom taxonomies, which was working fine till wordpress 3.0.5,
My permalink structure is this /%postname%/%location%/%mba_courses%/ where location and mba_courses are my custom taxonomies,
To make this work I am using this code:
add_filter('post_link', 'location_permalink', 10, 3);
add_filter('post_type_link', 'location_permalink', 10, 3);
function location_permalink($permalink, $post_id, $leavename) {
    if (strpos($permalink, '%location%') === FALSE) return $permalink;

        // Get post
        $post = get_post($post_id);
        if (!$post) return $permalink;

        // Get taxonomy terms
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'location');
        if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0])) $taxonomy_slug = $terms[0]->slug;
        else $taxonomy_slug = 'location';

    return str_replace('%location%', $taxonomy_slug, $permalink);
}

add_filter('post_link', 'mba_courses_permalink', 10, 3);
add_filter('post_type_link', 'mba_courses_permalink', 10, 3);

function mba_courses_permalink($permalink, $post_id, $leavename) {
    if (strpos($permalink, '%mba_courses%') === FALSE) return $permalink;

        // Get post
        $post = get_post($post_id);
        if (!$post) return $permalink;

        // Get taxonomy terms
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'mba_courses');
        if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0])) $taxonomy_slug = $terms[0]->slug;
        else $taxonomy_slug = 'mba_courses';

    return str_replace('%mba_courses%', $taxonomy_slug, $permalink);
}

How can I make this work in 3.1 or is their any feature in 3.1 where I can have custom taxonomies on my permalink?

A: Why not post it on the dev4press.com forum? They have really good support. Milan is pretty quick to respond too.
I haven't yet tried using my version of this plugin on 3.1. Just GD Press Tools.

A: For me it was the Top Level Categories plugin. Bummer too, I like that plugin. Maybe there is another one that is more up to date.

Elite athletes and professional sports teams in NI given go-ahead to return to outdoor training – BBC News
June 11, 2020 March 23, 2021 Gary Scott 0 Comments latest sports, sports, uk sports
Ulster Rugby players are among those who will be able to return to training
Elite athletes and professional sports teams in Northern Ireland have been given the go-ahead to return to outdoor training.
Amendments to the coronavirus lockdown restrictions announced by the Executive apply to elite grant-funded athletes and players in professional leagues.
Olympians and paralympians will benefit as will those involved in professional rugby and international cricket.
The decision does not permit a return to competitive sport.
The Executive also said in a statement that proper management arrangements should be in place at the training facilities to comply with Covid-19-related advice.
"The past number of months have been difficult for everyone and, while we do not want to become complacent, the Executive has decided now is the time to start to ease down on the restrictions that saw all sporting activities cease," Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey said.
"As an initial step towards elite sports returning to competition, we recognise the need to put arrangements in place to allow our local elite athletes and teams to return to collective training.
"This decision was not taken lightly and was based on the most current scientific and medical advice and it is still the first tentative steps to getting sport going again."
The Executive statement added that sports governing bodies should continue to engage with staff in SportNI, who developed a Framework for a Return to Sport, for guidance with regard to their specific protocols.

Ecuador makes COVID-19 vaccine mandatory for all eligible residents
The Ecuadorian government on Thursday issued a vaccine mandate for all eligible residents, making Ecuador the most recent country to issue this strict measure against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Exceptions to the far-reaching vaccine mandate will be made for people who cannot safely receive the vaccine, the government said. All other Ecuadorians ages five and above will be required to get the shot.
Ecuador's Minister of Public Health Ximena Garzón cited the spread of new variants of concern, such as omicron, for the new requirement. To encourage vaccinations, 24-hour health centers will be kept open over the Christmas holiday, the health ministry said in the announcement.
The ministry stated that the country has enough vaccines in stock to immunize all its residents and stressed that the vaccines are considered to be safe and effective
Roughly 77 percent of Ecuador's population over the age of 5 is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, Reuters reported. The news wire noted that the Ecuadorian government had said that it wanted to vaccinate 85 percent of its population this year.
Indonesia, Micronesia, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan have all issued similar vaccine mandates, and Germany and Austria are expected to do so next year.
The Ecuadorian health ministry said earlier this week that the delta variant of COVID-19 is still the most prevalent variant of concern in the country, though several cases of omicron have been confirmed.
According to the World Health Organization, Ecuador has so far confirmed more than 538,000 COVID-19 cases and over 33,000 related deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.
