Johnson's 50-Page Plan for Driving the UK out of the Lockdown
Johnson's 50-page roadmap is aimed at giving people "hope" and to lead Britain out of the lockdown. The dossier includes a 3-phase strategy designed for lifting the lockdown gradually. During times when a vaccine for the deadly virus is nowhere in sight – the UK is all set to rebuild the country. Will this strategy bring growth and prosperity? Or are we looking towards an unforeseeable future? ⭐COVID-19 ⭐UK Government
Several pneumonia-related cases surged in Wuhan that made the Chinese authorities to alert the WHO on December 31, 2019. COVID-19 started as an epidemic restricted only to China, however, it has now become a 'global pandemic'. With more than 227K cases in the United Kingdom, thousands of people have lost their life. However, the rigorous efforts by the NHS and the social care workers are commendable. A financially planned approach has helped the nation yet and may continue to do so. Boris Johnson has revealed a 50-page plan for lifting the lockdown gradually. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, has been taking actions to prevent an economic meltdown.
As we wait for a long-term solution, the decline in economic activities has created turbulence, raising a serious question. To spur the economic life and to bring back millions of lives on track – the government is taking unprecedented actions. What will be the changes and how are we supposed to come out of our houses?
In this article, we will discuss:
Government's 3-phased recovery plan
A step-by-step roadmap for lifting restrictions
What are the challenges ahead?
How to stay safe outside your homes?
UK Government's 3-phased Recovery Plan
The invisible foe has made a long-lasting impact on our lives. The Government has planned everything based on the facts that are made available from highly reliable sources and science. It can be said that the spread of the virus in the country has been rapid. Estimations showed that the number of patients in intensive care was getting doubled every 3 to 4 days.
Phase – 1: Current Situation
On March 16, the Government asked the British public to cease all "non-essential" contact and travel to contain the spread of the virus. Followed by the closure of schools on March 18. Entertainment, hospitality, and indoor leisure venues were also instructed for shut down on March 20. A "Stay at Home" guidance was introduced on March 23 in a drastic action to save lives. This phase was an important one that helped to fight the spread. The efforts of the public suppressed the spread to a great extent. All these measures led to a reduction in the percentage of NHS's critical care beds. The percentage fell to 27% from 51% in April.
However, the stillness of economic activities has impacted the UK economy. The Government has introduced several financial aids to protect millions of businesses and jobs. The Office of Budget responsibility has revealed that by the 2nd quarter of this year, the UK may witness a decline by 35% in the GDP.
Phase – 2: Smarter Controls
Different regions of the UK are hit differently with the virus. Measures are being taken to prevent the second peak of infections that may arise. The UK Government's utmost priority is to save the British public from being a victim to this invisible enemy. For this reason, ventilated bed capacity has been increased although the number of COVID-19 patients has declined over the weeks. Testing capacity and PPE kits will continue to keep meeting the demand. Smarter and periodic measures will be taken over the coming weeks to replace the social restrictions that are in place. Redesigning public places including workspaces will also be taken into consideration. As these social points are prone to high infection areas. Steps will be taken regularly to make adjustments to the current measures. However, highly crowded places such as nightclubs, beauty salons, sports stadia will be functional only after a significant reduction in the infection. However, if the virus starts spreading again, the government may have to impose tighter regulations to protect the lives of its people.
Phase – 3: Reliable Treatment
Lifting the current nationwide lockdown may result in a rise of COVID-19 cases in the UK. And if economic activities are not initiated, millions of livelihoods will have to face other problems. To return to society as far as normal, we need to have a balanced strategy. And therefore, the government has introduced a plan that ends in October. Researchers may repurpose existing drugs or create drugs that will minimise the impact of the virus. The first UK human trial of the vaccine has begun at the prestigious University of Oxford. It may take a very long time for the researchers to develop a credible vaccine.
Step-by-step Roadmap for Lifting Lockdown in the UK
A plan has been prepared by the Government that will help in the gradual easing of the restrictions. This will help the people to plan and schedule accordingly.
Workers who can work from home are advised to continue doing so. However, workers who cannot work from home may travel to their workplace. The employers have to provide a safe workplace to the employees. Also, you should walk or pedal to the workplace rather than taking public transport to reduce the chance of infection. If anyone has any symptoms, they must stay at home and isolate themselves rather than going outside for work.
The rate of infection is very high in schools. Educational institutes are working remotely to deliver the classes online to the students. However, the government is urging the local councils to encourage children of critical care workers and vulnerable pupils to go to school.
People are asked to avoid public transport whenever possible, especially during peak times. Social distancing rules to be followed while taking any public transport for commuting. To encourage more people to cycle or walk, the government will increase the funding to widen the pavements, pop-up cycle lanes, and may close some roads to traffic.
Social distancing is not possible always. Therefore, the government has advised the public to wear a face-covering in enclosed spaces. However, children under the age of two should not be made to wear face-coverings.
Outdoors & Exercise
You can drive out of your homes to any distance, however, you have to adhere to the physical distancing rules. People must not violate the rules of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. In clear terms, people from England must not travel to different parts of the country.
You may go out for exercise as many as times as you want. You have to avoid areas of high contact such as playgrounds and outdoor gyms. You are not allowed to play any team sports.
To manage the risk of transmission and keep it as low as possible, all international arrivals in the UK have to self-isolate themselves for 14 days in their accommodation. International travellers may opt for accommodation arranged by the Government. This will not come into force from May 13, however, it will be implemented as soon as possible.
The second step completely depends on the risk posed by the virus. The government has made it clear that the second step will not be implemented before June 1. Different measures may be posed or lifted at different areas at different times.
Schools will be allowed to take in more children from June 1. It aims at the return of all primary school children before the summer if at all feasible. The Department of Education will work closely with schools to facilitate this.
Non-essential Retail
Retailers are advised to follow the new COVID-19 Secure guidelines. As the risk of virus transmission is high in hospitality and personal care – these industries will not get permission to reopen in this stage. Further guidance by the government will be introduced shortly for businesses that may reopen with proper timelines.
Social and Family Contact
The government wants to limit the transmission chain. However, small weddings could be allowed soon. And even two households may be allowed to share childcare.
According to the assumptions of the government, step three will be implemented no earlier than 4 July. Some of the remaining businesses may be reopened including personal care. Leisure facilities such as cinemas, pubs, accommodation may also be reopened in this step. The government may schedule some pilot re-opening programs to test their ability to adapt to the new guidelines.
As we hope to return to the normal world, many economies around the world have started falling. The numbers around the world, especially Europe grew exponentially. The global system is changing rapidly and we have to adapt to it as soon and as fast as possible. The COVID-19 pandemic will have major implications on every business from every sector. From a global recession to adverse trade effects, experts have already prepared an endless list. Here are a few challenges that the government of the UK has to face in the coming years.
Not a Short-term Crisis
The virus is likely to circulate in the human population for a long-term. It needs drastic and major changes rather than short-term fixes. The government's economic response has been perfectly timed. Sunak has taken the right steps to support the economy.
Reopening may Trigger the 2nd Wave
Reopening of businesses and schools may trigger a second wave of infections. With so many people lacking immunity, the chances of the virus spreading faster also arise. If no strict measures are taken, the virus may start spreading again.
Difficult to Detect
The virus is difficult to detect as some people carry the infection asymptomatically. There are chances that the person may infect other unintentionally. Monitoring the spread of the virus is another herculean task that has to be taken up by the government.
No Quick-fix
There is no quick-fix or easy solution to overcome the current situation. To control this pandemic, we can only rely on effective drugs. Any vaccine that may tone down the impact of the virus can also help at large. However, it may take years for such a drug to be developed.
To keep this infection from spreading needs a collective effort. It is the responsibility of every individual to share the load by adhering to the guidelines. When you step out of your homes, ensure that you act responsibly. Here are a few things that you can do to stay safe outside your homes.
Keep distance from people when you are outside. At least keep 2 meters away from people as the closer you are to someone, the more your chances of being infected are. Spend as less time as possible when you are outside to stay safe.
Avoid touching your face, eyes, and mouth when you are outside. Wash your hands regularly using soap and water. Use sanitisers whenever you are out of your homes. Do not touch things that have a high risk of infection.
Work from home whenever it is possible. Only commute to your workplace if it is important. However, all jobs cannot be done from home. So, if you have to commute daily to your workplace – prefer to walk or ride a bike.
Avoid the crowd. Reduce the number of people you come in contact with. You can do this by not taking public transport during peak times.
Wear face coverings when you are sick. And avoid stepping out of your home if you do not feel good. By this, you will lower the chances of spreading the infection. Do not come in close contact with anyone and self-isolate yourself.
We have to fight it off together. A common coordinated approach with well-designed strategy is going to help us in the long run. According to the experts, this pandemic will last around for 2 years. Following the regulations to protect ourselves and others should be our top priority. The COVID-19 virus has brought immeasurable human suffering that can be minimised gradually.
Most of us know that life will not be the same as before and an urgent revision in our behaviour is the demand of the hour. However, during these uncertain times, we cannot afford to lose our hopes and patience. Boris Johnson's plan to take Britain out of the lockdown may only work if all the regulations are adhered to by the general public. The entire world has one common and invisible enemy and fighting that off will require a concrete plan.

Addiction/Celebrity Anti-Aging News
Demi Moore Speaks Out On Exercise Addiction
Skye Mallon / 9 October 2019 / 334
Exercise consumed Demi Moore's life. Many others are starting to share concerns about this too. Exercising also consumes many others and is getting worse with so much fit sport freely available. New conditions like body dysmorphia and exercise addiction are quickly becoming problematic.
Demi Moore just opened up about her issues battling extremely restrictive eating and exercise addiction in her new memoir, 'Inside Out.' Demi spent a long time battling an unhealthy obsession with exercise and disordered eating. I think that exercising consumed a large portion of people over the years and is continuing to do so to extreme levels. No mental health problem is simple to handle or admit to. However, what makes this one worse is the fact that it appears to be 'healthy.'
It's not like you're anorexically skinny or very overweight right? Sometimes, it doesn't have to that extreme to be detrimental to your quality of life.
Unfortunately, this is a reality we need to face because too many women and men are suffering from this disorder. Sometimes the symptoms are debilitating and prevent people from getting through their normal tasks. One look in the mirror can ruin an entire day.
Exercise Consumed Her Life
When you look at Demi Moore now, you see a vision of perfection. She's aged 56 and looks absolutely beautiful. Moreover, Demi is hugely successful and confident. However, just like any normal human being, she's had to cope with some emotional and mental problems over the years.
In her recent cover story interview with Lena Dunham for Harper's Bazaar, Demi explains a far-from-idyllic upbringing. In addition, she states that there were some very rocky times during her adult life. Most of which were riddled with addiction, loss, and pressure from the public. Exercising consumed her for a long period of that time too. It's not all bad, though, because she says the experiences ultimately, helped shape her into the woman and parent she is today.
Demi explains that her obsession with working out was one of the worst. The addiction started when she had to train for the movie A Few Good Men, in which she played a naval lawyer. Demi said she had also just given birth to Scout, who is now 28-years-old. It was her second daughter with her ex-husband Bruce Willis. She says that having the child pushed her to lose the baby weight.
Demi explains in her book that she didn't feel like she could stop exercising. Exercising consumed her entire life. She convinced herself that it was her job to fit into the outfit. This was an unforgiving military uniform she had to wear in two months in A Few Good Men. The pressure to get in shape for that movie ignited the obsession to work out constantly. Exercising consumed her for the next five years after this movie was filmed.
Your Happiness Is More Important
Exercising consumed Demi's life and as a result, made her very unhappy. This is happening to many others too. Whether you're working hard at the gym, your happiness, and mental health matter the most.
In addition, exercising consumed Demi's ability to breastfeed her baby girl. She explains in her book that excessive exercise meant that there was not enough fat in her breast milk, and Scout was not growing the way she should. Therefore, Demi's doctor told her to supplement Scout's milk with formula. As much as she was upset by this, she said exercising consumed her still. You guessed it, she kept working out.
According to People, the mom of three went from filming 1992's A Few Good Men to her next movie, Indecent Proposal. Once again Demi pushed the limits of weight loss. She explained that she had to be on display again, and all she could think about was her body, her body, her body.
So after already having an over-the-top exercise routine, she then doubled it. In addition, Demi cut out carbs, ran, cycled and worked out on every machine imaginable. Her body was so exhausted that she ended up contracting walking pneumonia. She did have to temporarily ease up on her workouts. However, her restrictive habits started again when she began filming 1996's Striptease.
Exercise Consumed Her Diet
The thought of having the perfect body was so strong that it had kicked her mind into overdrive. Exercising consumed Demi's every choice and we are worried that this is happening to more people than you'd think. They count every calorie and never allow for time to rest.
Demi says when she was making Striptease, she would measure out half a cup of oatmeal and prepare it with water for breakfast. Then for the rest of the day, she would have only protein and some vegetables. That was all. Demi says all this obsessing about her body does sound crazy and you're not wrong. Eating disorders are crazy because they are a sickness. However, just because they sound crazy does not make them any less real and we need to speak out about them more.
The weird thing about eating disorders is that you're somewhat aware of the issue. Even though you know it's wrong you can't help but fall back into the same pattern. We believe the more open people are about it, the more comfortable they will feel, to seek help.
The Last Straw
Exercising consumed Demi, but it wasn't until the making of G.I. Jane a year later that she realized something had to change. She explains that the 'bulking up' for the role of naval officer helped her break free from her disorder. She said she was 138 lbs and at the end of the movie, she was above her usual weight, but couldn't face another diet.
Demi says her usual reaction would have been to start starving herself again. She would start another exercise focused on cutting fat and getting lean. But something clicked inside. She said she's reached her limit.
When Demi got home to Idaho, she had an epiphany in the shower one day: 'I just need to be my natural size.'
Your body is clever and it knows when it's had enough. You can only punish or restrict it from what it needs for so long. Moore says she started to meditate on her body image problems. She says she added into her daily prayer a new mantra. She started telling herself that she has the courage to be seen without padding or protection.
Despite everything, she couldn't go on fighting her body and her weight. She had to make peace. As a result, Demi also stopped hard exercise for four years straight! She said she didn't go back to the gym, especially the one in her house. In fact, Demi converted the space into her new office.
Dancing is any kind of movement that makes your body feel good, rhythmically. Studies have found that when you dance, a naturally lean physique is not all you'll achieve. Here's why moving more will boost your brain, your mental health and make you feel good.

In Arizona, adoption can be a true blessing to the new parents, the birth parents and especially to the child involved. It can be a chance for the child to live a different and better life. Sometimes, though, it can be heartbreaking for the birth parents. It can quickly become a negative situation if the parents become overly sensitive to giving up their child. We know the laws of Arizona and that can be such a comfort at a time like this.
Another situation that can arise is when a stepparent wants to adopt the child of his or her spouse. Having a family come together at the end of the adoption process can be so moving. Having a smooth and joyous conclusion is what you want, and it is something that you can have.
There have been so many stories in the media about people who have attempted to adopt a child without having proper counsel and unfortunately, it hasn't been pleasant. Getting over hurdles and meeting the letter of the law is what you want if you are trying to adopt a child. We already know what is ahead for you and can advise you on the best course of action.
Not only can we help with adoptions by stepparents but can also advise on the adoption of children by grandparents or other relatives. If your goal is to keep a group of children together, then this is the outcome we will work toward. Are you thinking of a private adoption? You can learn more about this and other adoption topics on our webpage.

Lately I've been comparing where we are today to where we were one year ago.
March of 2009 was an unbelievably challenging month for us. We were desperately trying to sell the house and figure a way out of our financial mess. We were stressed, scared, worried and lost. Charting a new path for our lives in the midst of utter chaos.
March of 2009 also happened to be, not surprisingly, one of the more active and emotionally-charged months on my blog Love in the Time of Foreclosure. Going back and reading what I wrote during this period in our lives is like discovering someone's secret diary and reading their deepest, darkest, most private moments.
By the way, when I was a kid I was never very good about keeping a diary. I remember when I received my first diary as a gift. I was more excited about the lock and the understood secrecy (it CAME with a lock and key! Secrecy was EXPECTED!) than the opportunity to confide my deepest desires to an anonymous page. But let me be clear, I was more intrigued by the idea of expected secrecy than actually embracing it. Simply put: I missed the entire point.
After my first entry in my diary, I was so excited I ran downstairs and announced to my dad and stepmom that I wanted to read to them what I had written.
"Listen to what I wrote," I began, so thrilled to have an audience.
"Dear Diary," I continued… still totally missing the irony of the moment.
I don't remember what I wrote exactly. But I do remember that I explained everything to my diary.
Darchelle is my friend who sells pretzel sticks at lunch.
Tommy is my little brother who never does what I tell him to do.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, right…. Love in the Time of Foreclosure. I guess my diary tangent offers explanation for why I was so willing to write about our darkest moments in such a public forum. It's who I am.
The marriage of our dreams.
That's what we have. We have never ever in our 11 years of being together gotten along so well. Been so happy and complete. So 'on the same page.' So grounded. So willing to talk about, confront and share truly anything.
I look back on that post. I remember writing it. I know we went through all of that. And we made it to the other side. Not only unscathed, but improved. Ready to be parents. Becoming parents.

Norm & Ahmed | Australian Theatre Live

The multiculturalism of Australia has been a hot-button topic of discussion for several years now, usually raised around issues of immigration, international relations, and national pride during events like Australia Day. But even if it seems particularly relevant recently, Alex Bezo's 1960s script Norm & Ahmed shows that culture clashes in this land are old news.
When he misses his bus late one night in Sydney, Pakistani student Ahmed (Rajan Velu) is invited into conversation with Norm (Laurence Coy), a white Australia loitering around the same bus stop. The situation is ambiguous at first, is Norm a threat to Ahmed or just a lonely wanderer? Turns out, as in most interactions between people with different levels of power, that it's a bit of both. But with not much else to do, they strike up a conversation, share some bold opinions, and come to a better understanding of each other, for better or worse.
Directing team Aarne Neeme and Terence Clarke worked to maintain the integrity of the original text while demonstrating how easily the situation translates into a modern Sydney. While racism is often discussed literally and metaphorically as a black and white issue, the layers of prejudice and superiority can be complicated and manifest in unexpected ways. In this production, the focus was on how the characters made use of their similarities and differences. Ahmed came to Australia to learn how he could help improve his home country while Norm got a kick out of his own performance of benevolence and acceptance of foreigners. But when Ahmed began to take liberties with Norm's generosity, treating the men as equals in their standing, things soured quickly. The simple script belies complex characterisation that operates within a long established culture of bigotry and control in Australia.
The production design worked well to recontextualise the 50-year-old script in the current day with an immersive and immediately recognisable street-scape. The lighting design by Lucia Haddad incorporated warm street lighting as well as a looped video recording of a Sydney skyline that brought the city indoors. Further use of a park bench, bus stop signage, and a line of graffiti-ed construction site fencing created an eerily authentic setting for anyone familiar with walking through the city at night.
For anyone keeping up with the anti-vaccination protests across major cities over the past few weeks, Norm's Australian flag shirt was a subtle threat, foreshadowing his attitude later in the conversation. Coy's characterisation was a typical Aussie battler, rough around the edges with some outdated language but otherwise a seemingly genuine interest in being friendly. His history of violence, and perhaps the ease with which he brings it up with a stranger, were red flags but they were balanced by Ahmed's political zeal and anti-authoritarian enthusiasm. Velu's Ahmed was soft-spoken and deferential despite his superior intelligence; he is well-aware of the power-dynamics at play in this interaction. But what made the production so uncomfortable was Ahmed's restraint and Norm's contented dictation; this was Norm's conversation from the very beginning and his continued command of the situation kept the tensions high.
The play ended how it always threatened to and that disappointment is only compounded by how easily the 1968 script suited contemporary reality and discussions in the arts about racism and Australian identity. As hopeful as Ahmed was for change in the status quo of Pakistan, it's hard to find the same hope for this country.
Norm & Ahmed ran at Riverside Theatres from November 15th – 20th

The Shame Fact Of Democracy: Only 9% Women MLA's, MP's Across India in 2019
The Shame Fact Of Democracy: Only 9% Women MLA's, MP's Across India in 2019
As the world and India celebrate International Women's Day, the state of representation of women in the country's decision-making process continues to be dismal, with only 9% women MLAs and MPs across the country in 2019, according to a report by the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) and National Election Watch.
Not just that, hundreds of men who declared cases of crimes against women against them in their affidavits, were given tickets by key political parties, with BJP giving the highest number of tickets at 54.
Out of total 4,865 MPs/MLAs analysed from across the country, only 440 (9%) are women, says the report, adding that among members of Parliament, Lok Sabha has 66 (12%) women out of the 542 analysed while the Rajya Sabha has 25 women MPs (11%) out of the 228 analysed by the two non-profit organisations.
Among the contesting candidates in Assemblies and Parliament, only 8% are women, said the report, noting that in the last three Lok Sabha Elections (2004 to 2014) the number of candidates had increased "remarkably" but the increase in the number of women candidates remained nominal.
None of the country's state Assemblies had more than 10 % women candidates, barring exceptions like Jharkhand (10%), West Bengal (10.30%) , Sikkim (10.30%) and Chhattisgarh (10%), which had highest percentage of women candidates. Delhi had 9.8% women candidates in the fray.
The lowest number of women candidates is in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh (3% each) and Jammu & Kashmir and Manipur (4% each).
Party-wise, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party had the highest number of women MPs and MLAs at 150, followed by Congress at 91 and Trinamool Congress at 44.
Now a look into the male candidates who dominate the decision-making process and have declared cases of crimes against women.
According to the report, out of 1,642 (34%) MPs/ MLAs analysed with declared criminal cases, 52 have declared cases related to crimes against women. Among these, 52 MPs/MLAs with declared cases related to crimes against women, 45 are MLAs and three are MPs.
A total of 480 candidates analysed, who had declared cases related to crimes against women, were given tickets by recognised political parties, said the report.
"Among the major parties in the last five years, 54 candidates with declared cases related to crimes against women were given tickets by BJP. The second highest number of candidates, i.e. 37 who had declared cases related to crimes against women were given tickets by BSP, followed by 30 candidates from INC who had declared cases related to crimes against women and had contested for Lok/Rajya Sabha and State Assemblies," said the report.

Sorry I am a little late in doing this. My dad is Paul Wetzel. He grew up with Alan and Alan was one if his childhood best friends. I remember many summers growing up that on our way home or to Yellowstone we would stop by Alan's home and stay the night with his family. I also remember spending time with Alan's parents and younger sister while we were there. These are some of my fondest memories of growing up and wish that we had continued this tradition longer. He built a beautiful home and had wonderful children. Alan will be deeply missed by our family. - Debra Wetzel Domenici
Debra Wetzel Domenici
I did'nt know Alan personally but know his three children Jeremiah, Jenny and Bryan, they are all absolutely wonderful people. Alan has left a true legacy in these children.His spirit will prevail throughout Star Valley forever. My prayers are with you. I will never be able to visit Star Valley again without imagining this wonderful father building one of those "classic" and oh so beautiful Star Valley homes he was so proud of.
Michelle Quintana
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad and tender time. Alan's sister, Dianne, is a dear friend of mine and it is through Dianne that I know other members of the Jensen Family. May you feel comfort and peace knowing God's plan for us.
S. Trell Snow
We were so sorry to hear about the accident. Please know that our hearts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Charlie and Kellie Clinger
The last time I remember seein Alan was up by Wickiup by the water trogh. He and his family had gone up there to get a christmas tree on their sleds. I hadn't eatin in quite a while and they had a fire goin and had some hot dogs cookin, and invited me to sit and have some with them. He was always very generous and loved the outdoors. I remember meeting Alan many times in the mountains, you could always tell that he was right at home, outdoors. I know that he is on a great adventure now in Heaven and is with loved ones. "I think God must be a cowboy at heart, cause He made wide open spaces from the start, He made grass, trees and mountains, and a horse to be a friend, and trails to lead old cowboys home again."
You'll be missed Alan.
Levi Scott
My sincere sympathy go's out to his family. I knew Alan from High School yrs,(I attended Cottonwood HS), I met him when he was working at the Scott Super Store on 9th E 5600 S, Murray, I also worked there for a short time. I always remember him riding his 250 green yamaha motor cycle to work. I remember meeting his family and his little sister who had down syndrome. The way he treated her & kidded around with her, you knew he loved her very much. I knew him for about a year and we lost contact. He went to Phoenix to some electronics school and I went to California for a while. Sometime later, I remember him sending me a wedding invitation that was in Midvale, but because Midvale had it's own street disegnation, I couldn't remember where the house was and then discovered I was two weeks late. I was hoping to tell him some day that I really enjoyed the pyrex dishes I was going to give to him and his new wife. Oh well. Alan was a nice person and a gentle soul. Take care Alan, where ever you are.
Laurie P. Gallegos
Sorry to hear about Alan's passing. My prayer's are with you at this time. May the lord be with you and comfort you.
Ruth Anderson (Jenkins)
We were shocked and saddened to learn of your loss. May you know that our love, prayers, and sympathy are with you and your family.
Mayo & Elsie Call
To all of the Jensen family - we send our love and support. Alan was a kind and caring person and will be missed.
My favorite memory of him was watching him play football with his boys when they were small.
Lorene (Walton) Hale
Jennilyn & CJ,
Our hearts go out to you and your family. Hang in there and be strong!

Free Download STAR WARS Jedi Fallen Order PC Torrent
Making Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order is a big challenge for Respawn, because we are dealing with a work that is different from all their previous works. The story of Fallen Order takes place a few years after the events of Star Wars Episode III – Revenge of Sith. A Jedi trainee (padawan) named Carl Custis, played by Cameron Monaghan, is on the run from the Galactic Empire. During one episode, Carl is forced to use the Force to save one of his friends from falling into a Sarlacc pit. Meanwhile, one of the Imperial droids had recorded the scene of the use of the Force, and it causes Carl's true identity to be revealed to the Galactic Empire.
In the sequel, Galactic Empire uses Second Sister to kill Carl and other Jedi; Someone who was directly trained by Darth Vader. The interesting thing about the second sister is that she used to be a Jedi and fought alongside the Jedi before the dark side of the Force overcame her. He can be considered Darth Vader's best fighter and poses a serious threat to Carl Custis. The Sisters Association actually refers to the Imperial Inquisitor group, which consists of 9 different fighters. Although only the second sister is sent to kill Karl Custis, we will probably meet other members of the Imperial Inquisitor during the story of Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. Respawn Studio has tried to design unique fighters. Therefore, each of them has their own skills and you should use different fighting methods for each.

« Of Gods and particles | Main | Think before you speak, Barack »
Still waiting for the "conversation" to start
A few weeks ago, Old Punk, a contributor to the InstaPunk blog, wrote this:
I don't hate black people. I can't pretend to be color-blind because absolutely nothing in my culture will allow me to be. I admire Thomas Sowell, Duke Ellington, Roberto Clemente, Muhammed Ali, Alexandre Dumas, Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Count Basie, Tiger Woods, and Bill Cosby. There are many others but that's a sampling of the famous folks whose courage, genius, character, and achievements I would be proud if I could get anywhere in the vicinity of. The bald truth of the matter is that they're better than I am, and it doesn't arouse a flicker of racial feeling in me to acknowledge it. They have enriched and elevated my own experience of life.
On the other hand, I am sick to death of black people as a group. The truth. That is part of the conversation Obama is asking for, isn't it? I live in an eastern state almost exactly on the fabled Mason-Dixon line. Every day I see young black males wearing tee shirts down to their knees -- and jeans belted just above their knees. I'm an old guy. I want to smack them. All of them. They are egregious stereotypes. It's impossible not to think the unthinkable N-Word when they roll up beside you at a stoplight in their trashed old Hondas with 19-inch spinner wheels and rap recordings that shake the foundations of the buildings. It's like a broadcast dare: Go ahead! Call me a nigger! And then I'll cap your ass.
Here's the dirty secret all of us know and no one will admit to. There ARE niggers. Black people know it. White people know it. And only black people are allowed to notice and pronounce the truth of it. Which would be fine. Except that black people are not a community but a political party. They can squabble with each other in caucus but they absolutely refuse to speak the truth in public. And this is the single biggest obstacle to healing the racial divide in this country ...
Needless to say, a blinding shitstorm filled the blogosphere over that one. But Cassandra at Villainous Company noted a remarkable resemblance between Old Punk's rant and this: (profanity-laden and NSFW)
Cassandra rightly pointed out that Chris Rock's comedic rant would never, ever be considered racism, "by virtue of the speaker's skin color."
The problem here is troubling. Blacks are allowed to say certain things:
If he were white, [Obama] once bluntly noted, he would simply be one of nine freshmen senators, almost certainly without a multimillion-dollar book deal and a shred of celebrity.
But when whites say the same things ...
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," Ferraro told a local California newspaper last week.
"And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept," Ferraro said.
... they are accused of racism.
It gets worse. As a general rule, no one is allowed to criticize anyone with darker skin without a public excoriation. That goes for whites criticizing blacks, whites criticizing Latinos, Asians criticizing blacks, Latinos criticizing blacks, etc. And do I have to mention the long-standing animosity between light-skinned and dark-skinned African Americans?
If we cannot talk to one another without getting hung up on each other's skin color, then no dialog on race will ever be possible.
And there is something else, too. At the Chicago Boys (as in the Chicago school of economics) blog, Shannon Love writes,
How can you trust someone when they tell you repeatedly that they believe that you are an evil person? How do you trust someone when they tell you repeatedly that you are responsible for all the troubles in their life? How do you trust someone to manage an institution when they repeatedly tell you that they believe the institution an inherently corrupt failure?
I think this is the core problem that leftist African-American politicians face when trying to gain broad support from white Americans.
Most leftist African-American politicians build their careers preaching a racialist doctrine which holds the selfish and evil actions of white Americans responsible for all the ills of the African-American community. Although it is expressed in passive voice in such phrases as "America is a racist country" or "institutional racism", white Americans read the message very clearly: the aggregated individual evil choices of white Americans are the cause of the nation's problems.
The vast majority of white Americans believe racism a serious moral failing. They recognize the harm done by racism in the past and believe that racism violates the American ideals of individuality and merit reward. They view the accusation of racism as a very serious matter. When a politician casually and repeatedly accuses them of committing such an evil act, they notice.
This is the witches brew that has poisoned American race relations for the last forty years. Dr. Martin Luther King left us exactly forty years ago, and ever since, racial "leaders" with an axe to grind have disregarded his non-violent and non-political approach to social justice, and have riled up their constituencies with every kind of vile conspiracy theory imaginable. Rev. Jeremiah Wright is only the tip of the iceberg.
Earlier this week, Daphna Ziman, founder of Children Uniting Nations, published this chilling letter. Ms. Ziman, who is Jewish, was invited to Los Angeles accept an award from the Kappa Aplha Psi fraternity (an African-American organization).
After I spoke and thanked the fraternity and their members, Rev. Eric Lee, pres. and CEO of Southern Christian Leadership Conference of greater Los Angeles, was introduced as the key note speaker. He began his speech by thanking Jesus for Obama, who is going to be the leader of the world. He continued by referring to other leaders Like Dr. King,being that this was the moment of celebrating Dr. King's spirit on the anniversary of his death, and Malcolm X.
It was right after the mention of Malcolm X that he looked right at me and started talking about the African American children who are suffering because of the JEWS that have featured them as rapists and murderers. He spoke of a Jewish Rabbi, and then corrected himself to say "What other kind of Rabbis are there, but JEWS". He told how this Rabbi came to him to say that he would like to bring the AA community and the Jewish community together. " NO, NO, NO,!!!!" he shouted into the crowd, we are not going to come together. "The Jews have made money on us in the music business and we are the entertainers, and they are economically enslaving us"
He continued as to how now the salvation has come and the gates have open for African Americans to come together behind Barack Obama, because now is the time to show them.(meaning the Jews). He continued to speak about ' White supremacy' vs the talents and visionaries in the core of African Americans. He demeaned being given freedom, by saying "To what?" to a country that kills women and children.
I could no longer be polite and sit in front of the crowd, so I walked out.
Perhaps the candidacy of Barack Obama will be beneficial in that it will convince more of these kooks that it is safe to come out of the woodwork and spout their hatred in public. I believe that the more we hear these things, the greater the likelihood is that we will eventually have to deal with them.
But on the other hand, this is very disappointing. And it will hurt Barack Obama, because -- before the Rev. Wright incident -- a considerable number of white Americans bought into the Obama campaign's portrait of their man as a "uniter" who had disconnected himself from race hustlers like Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton. A sizable portion of this nation was ready to embrace a non-white presidential candidate, and was excited about the progress that such a decision would exemplify. Now, as more and more ordained bigots begin to glom onto Obama as their messiah, it seems clear to me that many whites are going to doubt his ability to reshape race relations in America.

Could you please tell me how many breeds of cats exist in the world? I know there may not be a clear number because new breeds are added once in a while, but I'll be happy even with an approximate number. Thx!
I'm not sure if anyone has made accurate calculations as regards the exact number of cat breeds in the entire world, but the International Progressive Cat Breeders Alliance (IPCBA) recognizes 73 cat breeds while the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) - only 41. The International Cat Association (TICA) recognizes 55 breeds. I suppose it all depends on what cat association you're talking about.
cats keep on multiplying, so we dont really know for sure. there are millions.
i need to learn about cats because my teacher wants us to learn about cats. Thx!
I'm researching cat breads for a report in class I thought i would find answers here and i did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks!!!!!!!
How Many Hertz Is The Maximum Cats Can Hear?

Q: Top ten tags ala Delicious How would I create a list that only shows the ten most used tags for my site?  Kind of how Delicious organizes tags.  Any ideas?

A: Easy with get_tags(). Basic idea would be something like this:
$args = array(
        'orderby' => 'count',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'number' => 10,
        );

"Sitting around waiting for an idea is the worst thing you can do. All ideas come out of the work itself."
Posted by Mike | 28 Jul 2016
That title is a quote from a great profile over at The New York Times by Wil S. Hylton on one of my favorite artists of all time, Chuck Close. It's titled, The Mysterious Metamorphosis of Chuck Close:
he has recently set about leaving much of his old life behind: filing for divorce from his wife, Leslie, after 43 years of marriage, disappearing for the winter to live virtually alone in a new apartment on Miami Beach and retreating from his summer friends to the crowded isolation of Long Beach.
His painting style has dramatically changed too:
It's difficult to know how to describe that painting, or the series of new work it was part of, except to say that it was a radical departure from the last 20 years of his art. Gone were all the swoops and swirls that he typically paints into each square of the grid. In their place, he had filled each cell with just one or two predominant colors, creating a clunky digital effect like the graphics of a Commodore 64. The colors themselves were harsh and glaring, blinding pink and gleaming blue, while the face in the portrait — his face — was cleaved right down the middle, with one side of the canvas painted in different shades from the other. To the left, his skin was peach, his shirt deep red and the background mint green; to the right, his skin was pink, his shirt sapphire and the backdrop orange. There was a sea-green splotch hovering over his neck, with a long tail that poked into his nose, and one ear was radioactive yellow; the nose was honking blue.
The dude is getting old. Cut him some slack. The systems inside his body are shutting down, possibly including his brain. It's called aging. To Close's defense, "blinding pink and gleaming blue" sound like the colors he would see around him in Miami Beach.
This bit about Jeff Koons resonated with me:
In Long Beach, exile had the sound of summer, and I spent a few more days with Close, watching the tides roll out. We would sit at the long table on the middle floor, eating Indian takeout and discussing the commercial compromise made by artists who rely on assistants to make their work. "I look at my friend Jeff Koons, and I think, Why in God's name does he want to do that?" Close said. "Why would he give up the fun part to become the C.E.O. of an art-manufacturing company?"
Seriously. Why would you give up the fun part? If I had to guess, I'd say Koons is more interested in being a businessman than being an artist.
The transformation in Close's work reminds me of what happened to Willem De Kooning towards the end of his life. His works became more and more minimal to the point where they were barely recognizable as De Kooning paintings. There are allegations of De Kooning's assistants taking away canvases when they considered them finished.
After reading the Close profile, Austin Kleon wondered how you tell the difference between symptoms of art-making and dementia. Great question. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
I'll say this: even if Close is in the early stages of Alzheimer's or dementia, his work is still incredible. This isn't a case where a once brilliant painter has forgotten his process and lost his craft and is finger painting (although Close could probably do a mean finger painting).
(Fifty-cent word from the Close profile: uroboric)

THE POET OF THE ASSEMBLY LINE
Coming home to a foreign city, the poet flew into Detroit. Invited to read his works, he expected to be picked up at the airport. But the woman in the terminal holding the sign — PHILIP LEVINE — handed him directions for taking the bus.
"You jerks," Levine thought, "I'm going to get even with you. I'm going to show up exactly at the moment I'm supposed to read. So I took the bus in and began walking around Detroit."
It had once been his Detroit, "a city choking on the ills of the Great Depression." His father sold auto parts but died when Phil was five, leaving three sons. His mother, a stenographer, moved the family to "a series of ever-shrinking apartments."
Short and wiry, Phil started work at 12, delivering laundry. At 14, he took a swing shift in a soap factory — 35 cents an hour. By day, high school, teachers told him, "You write like an angel. Why don't you think about becoming a writer?" But there were bills to pay. After college he worked in auto factories, "work so heavy and monotonous that after an hour or two I was sure each night that I would never last the shift."
Finally fleeing the factories, he rose. From grad student to poet, from just one of many poets to one of America's premiere poets. A Pulitzer. Two National Book Awards. A Guggenheim. Now he walked through his hometown again. That day, Philip Levine took "A Walk with Tom Jefferson." That day, he remembered, "was a gift.'
We expect poets to describe the soul, the stars, the vitals from birth to death. We do not expect them to describe "what work is." But Philip Levine was America's "pre-eminent poet of the working life." Like Whitman, he "heard America singing," but the song was on the graveyard shift, syncopated by "the incredible clanging, the noise, the heat, the cold at your back, the fire in your face in the forge. . ."
By the mid-'80s when Levine walked through Detroit, the factories were abandoned, empty. His walk took him:
Between the freeway
and the gray conning towers
of the ballpark,
miles of mostly vacant lots, once
a neighborhood of small
two-storey wooden houses. . .
A little world with only
three seasons, or so we said—
one to get tired, one to get
old, one to die.
The words had come quickly, 900 lines in a day once back home. He had honed his craft by then, forging lines as he had once forged metal at Chevy Gear and Axle. Nine hundred lines, cut to 300, but something was missing.
He had first found his voice in talking to the night. As a teenager, he began walking in darkness, speaking out loud. The damp earth is giving birth. . . These hands have entered the ground from which they sprang. He remembered "tasting the words, I immediately liked them and repeated them, and then more words came that also seemed familiar and right."
After taking the poet's familiar path — Iowa Writer's Workshop, teaching gigs, hours alone with a pencil — he put his voice on paper. But all was rage. "I wanted fire and I wanted gunfire. I wanted to burn down Chevrolet."
Then time, his overseer in factories, served up its wisdom. And he saw what Whitman had seen — "the genius of the United States. . . Is always most in the common people."
"Stop focusing on the fact that you were miserable and exhausted and underpaid and exploited." Levine told himself. "And start focusing on the fact that you were in the company of extraordinary people."
People were what was missing from "A Walk with Tom Jefferson." Scanning his 300 lines, Levine recalled a cab driver. Hurry, he'd told the cabbie. He was due at —
"You must know this city."
"Yeah, I used to live here."
"Yeah, you left us, didn't you? All the smart people left."
When Levine told the cabbie he was about meet an old friend, the man asked, "Are you going to make him laugh or are you going to make him cry — your old buddy?"
"I hadn't thought about it. But now I'm going to try to do both."
"Oh, man," the cabbie said, "That's biblical."
Just a phrase, that's all it took. "That's biblical." Levine made the phrase the signature of "A Walk with Tom Jefferson." The title character was not the president but a black man up from Alabama, living hard in Detroit. Tom Jefferson is a believer/you can't plant winter vegetables if you aren't. . .
Shortly before his death in 2015, Philip Levine became America's poet laureate. But no matter how high he rose, he remembered the night shift. "If my people, Cipriano Mera and Tom Jefferson, acquire the significance of saints and heroes, well, that's wonderful. They are my saints and heroes."
THANKS TO NEIGHBOR, FRIEND, AND POET PAUL MARIANI FOR SHARING HIS "CONVERSATION WITH PHILIP LEVINE"

Climate change poses social, economic and environmental problems on a global scale. It is a threat to agricultural development, as it has multitude manifestations among which include increased infestation of crops by pest and diseases, increased rural-urban migration, increased biodiversity loss, frequent drought and flood. These evident consequences of climate change however, can be reduced through adaptation. The review revealed that farmers practiced various adaptation strategies peculiar to the impact of climate change in their localities. These include mixed cropping, early planting, use of new crop varieties and soil management techniques among others. Inadequate inputs, lack of information on climate change forecast and poverty were the constraints to climate change adaptation among crop farmers as reviewed by this study. It is recommended that more campaign need to be carried out to sensitize farmers on the dangers and consequences of climate change and need for adaptation. Farmers need to be empowered economically through access to loans for them to procure adaptation inputs.

Q: Two threads adding objects to ArrayList: can't output the size: Why does removing println lead to an infinite loop I have this program:
Farmer.java:
import java.util.*;

public class Farmer implements Runnable  {
  List<Apple> busket;
  private static int count;
  private int id;
  private int appleCount;

  public Farmer(List<Apple> busket)  {
    this.busket = busket;
    id = count++;
  }

  public void makeApple()  {
    Apple apple = new Apple("Apple" + appleCount + " by Farmer"+id);
    System.out.println("making apple: " + apple);

    busket.add(apple);
    appleCount++;
  }

  public void run()  {
    while (appleCount<5)  {
      makeApple();
    }
  }
}

Apple.java:
public class Apple  {
  private String name;

  public String getName() {return name;}

  public String toString() {return name;}

  public Apple(String name)  {
    this.name = name;
  }
}

Main.java:
import java.util.*;

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("Hello world!");

    List<Apple> apples = new ArrayList<>();
    Thread t1 = new Thread(new Farmer(apples));
    t1.start();

    Thread t2 = new Thread(new Farmer(apples));
    t2.start();

    while (apples.size()==0) {
  //    System.out.println(apples.size());
    }

    System.out.println(apples.size());
}
}

it gives this output:
Hello world!
making apple: Apple0 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple1 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple2 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple3 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple4 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple0 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple1 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple2 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple3 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple4 by Farmer0

so it never prints
System.out.println(apples.size());

however if I uncomment
//    System.out.println(apples.size());

inside while loop
I get this output:
...many more zeroes
0
0
0
making apple: Apple0 by Farmer1
0
0
...a bit more zeroes
1
making apple: Apple0 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple1 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple2 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple3 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple4 by Farmer0
making apple: Apple1 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple2 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple3 by Farmer1
making apple: Apple4 by Farmer1

you can see the
1

in the above output, which is the size of the array.
and the program never seems to stop.
I also tried this loop:
    int i=0;
    while (apples.size()==0) {
      System.out.println("i: " + i); //works as previous: if uncommented, there's size output later, if commented out, no size output, program keeps running
    }

and
    int i=0;
    while (apples.size()==0) {
      //System.out.println("i: " + i);
      i++; //doesn't influence - no size output unless uncomment system.out.println
    }

and it has the same behaviour
Why is this behaviour? Why adding the print statement inside the while loop gives correct output (array's size and the finishing of the program), while removing it seems to get the program stuck in the while loop even though the array gets filled?
EDIT:
I know it can be solved with using a synchronized list. I want to understand why this behaves the way it does, not fix the code.

A: Quick TL;DR solution: Insert some synchronized statements to protect access to the shared list already!

Java doesn't guarantee that things will work correctly when more than one thread accesses the same variable without being explicitly synchronized.
In the case where you have
while (apples.size()==0) {
    //    System.out.println(apples.size());
}

the JIT is allowed to

*

*inline the body of apples.size() which most likely just reads a private variable in the list object, and

*then emit code that reads the variable only once from the heap and keep testing the copy of the size that it stored in a register once and for all. Nothing the other threads do will change this locally cached copy of the size information. So because the length of the list started at 0, that's what the test will see forever -- you have an infinite loop.
The JIT is allowed to do that because Java's concurrency model says that a thread is not guaranteed to be able to see changes to a heap field that another thread makes, until both threads have passed through some appropriate synchronization actions.
When you insert the call to System.out.println() what happens is that the body of the loop is now so complex that the JIT cannot prove that System.out.println() will not somehow change things inside the list object. (We can see easily that it won't but the JIT is a bear of very little brain and cannot). Therefore it doesn't dare share the value of the size field it read in the previous iteration of the loop; instead it creates machine code that will read the size field from the heap object once for each time around the loop. Therefore -- but definitely more by accident than by design! -- your main thread will eventually pick up the changes from the other threads.

This doesn't mean everything is now fine, because you still have two different threads trying to modify the ArrayList and nothing to prevent them from stepping on each other's toes. All manner of strange things may go wrong then. It may just happen to work as you intended. Or, if you're really lucky, you may get a nice explicit ConcurrentModificationException thrown in one of the threads. Or one or more of the apples may silently be lost, or you may encounter NullPointerException or worse if you later try to take the apples out of the list again.

A: Wrapping the ArrayList creation to a Synchronized object will do the trick since the original ArrayList implementation is not thread safe or you may use Vector.
import java.util.*;

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("Hello world!");

    List<Apple> apples = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList<>());

    //Or
    //List<Apple> apples = new Vector<>();

    Thread t1 = new Thread(new Farmer(apples));
    t1.start();

    Thread t2 = new Thread(new Farmer(apples));
    t2.start();

    while (apples.size()==0) {
  //    System.out.println(apples.size());
    }

    System.out.println(apples.size());
}
}


You never know when your computer will crash or your hard drive fail. So every computer user should have up to date backups of the files and documents on their computer. However, not many do, with the result that we sell a lot of data recovery software.
You have to remember to run the backup, every day, and you often don't.
Backups take time to complete, usually at a time when you want to switch the computer off or go home.
The restore process can be cumbersome.
Conventional backups won't let you recover work done since the last backup, which might have been last night.
You may not keep backup archives going back a long time, so they offer no protection for files that were deleted or changed some time ago.
Conventional or image backups are best for restoring an entire system without having to reinstall the operating system and software. But for day to day backup of your files, a continuous backup solution is better.
Continuous backup means that files are backed up automatically, whenever they change. Another term for this is continuous data protection. A program runs in the background, watching for changes to files. Whenever a file changes, a new backup is made, but the old copy is not deleted. This creates a version history of each file, so you can restore not just the last version, but any previous version.
With continuous backup you need never lose a file, even if you delete it by accident soon after saving it. If you make changes to a file and save them, then realize that you made a mistake, continuous backup lets you recover an earlier version, so you don't have to undo the changes manually. It's a huge time saver.
Because backing up files whenever they change could take up a lot of space, continuous backup is often only used to protect specific file types or folders, typically the files you work on every day. Clever software can also help to save space by storing only the changes made since the last backup of the file, and by using data compression. This is transparent to you, the user. If you need to restore a file you will simply see a list of copies of the file with the dates they were created.
If the hard drive fails and you only have a conventional backup, you lose everything since the last backup was taken. It is common practice to keep only a couple of generations of backups, or even overwrite the last backup with the new one, so when a file is deleted, the backup copy of it is lost soon afterwards.
With continuous backup, if you delete a file, the backup copy normally remains in the archive until you specifically remove it. This makes continuous data protection a far better solution than the Windows Recycle Bin for protecting files from being accidentally deleted.
The ability of continuous backup to provide a version history is one of its most valuable, yet least appreciated features. If you work for a long time on a file, whether it is a program source file, a web page or a report or spreadsheet, you may sometimes wish you could roll back to a previous state, or at least look at an older version. With continuous backup this is easy. Programmers use tools called version control systems (VCS) to achieve this. Continuous backup provides this capability for any type of data.
If you are using a Windows PC then you can get continuous data protection easily and inexpensively by installing continuous backup software. Once the software is installed and set up you can simply forget about it - until you find you have lost or overwritten a file that you really want, when you will be able to restore it with ease.

I want this
id_1   cloth_id
1        101
2        104
3        102

with no duplicated value in the columns as if I can only distribute one clothes from each color.
Thanks guys

A: SELECT id_1, cloth_id
FROM table_1 t1
LEFT JOIN table_2 t2 ON t2.color = t1.favourite_color
GROUP BY t1.favourite_color

Maelor tops MRSA deaths league table
WREXHAM Maelor had the highest rate of deaths from superbug MRSA out of any hospital in England and Wales, over a four-year period.
New figures show 1.35% of deaths recorded at Wrexham Maelor between 2002-2006 were MRSA-related – amounting to 79 in total.
Yesterday hospital bosses insisted the number only showed up as they have a policy to record MRSA on death certificates to help assess the scale of the problem.
Health chiefs also warned the statistics had to be treated with caution, as they only show MRSA was on the death certificate – not where infection was picked up.
There is no national standard for whether doctors have to cite MRSA as a cause of death – which can lead to wide disparities in recorded MRSA cases.
It means Wrexham's policy of recording all MRSA deaths as such may make its rate appear higher than in other hospitals where it is not put on the documents.
In total 79 MRSA-related deaths were recorded at the Maelor between 2002-06, the Office of National Statistics said.
The percentage incidence of MRSA reported at the Maelor was far higher than Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Bodelwyddan with 0.13% and Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, with 0.37% for 2002-06.
Only eight deaths at Glan Clwyd and 18 at Bangor were recorded from 2002-06 related to MRSA.
Yesterday a Wrexham Maelor Hospital spokesman said: "There was no legal requirement for the bacterial cause of infections to be recorded on the death certificate.
"Most hospitals just recorded the infective condition (eg pneumonia) without specifying which organism had caused the infection.
"However this Trust had a policy agreed with HM Coroner for North East Wales, of recording on the death certificate when MRSA was involved in any fatal case.
"The high reported figure for Wrexham, in comparison with other trusts at the time, is a measure of the thoroughness and openness of our reporting systems.
"During this same period the report identifies that Wrexham Maelor Hospital had a relatively low proportion of deaths involving Clostridium difficile (0.50%, compared to a national range from 0.09% to 3.62%).
"This suggests the effectiveness of infection control measures being used within the Trust at the time were consistent with, or better than, those elsewhere in the NHS."
An Ysbyty Glan Clwyd spokeswoman said: "We are confident in the systems we have in place to ensure we protect patients as far as possible from MRSA and CDiff, and believe the figures are a testimony to how we manage MRSA and CDiff within the Trust."

Yesterday, I turned one year past a quarter of a century, and I can't believe it. That means that it was TEN years ago that I turned sixteen. TWENTY years ago that I turned six. Goodness, gracious! I'm getting old and time is flyin'!
I am so thankful for this life God has given me- full of sweet memories, sweet friends, the sweetest family, and the sweetest husband. God is so good.
