Q: Error with plotting augPred for nlme (nonlinear mixed effects): replacement has [X] rows, data has [Y] I am having a problem using augPred after I have created an nlme object.  My data is 529 rows long with no NA's, and is grouped with this function:
RSize.gD.100 <- groupedData(area ~ size | ID, data = RSize)
Under the grouping factor "ID", this is a character column with 6 levels.
I create my nlsList object with the selfStarter NLS.expoDecay():
fm1R.list <- nlsList(area ~ NLS.expoDecay(size, a, k) | ID, data = RSize.gD.100)
and then my nlme with:
fm1R.nlme <- nlme(fm1R.list)
Following the methods of Pinheiro and Bates (2000), I try to plot my predicted values against my actual values using:
plot(augPred(fm1R.nlme, level=0:1))
But it returns this error:
Error in [[<-.data.frame(*tmp*, nm, value = c(2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L,  :
replacement has 529 rows, data has 6
I cannot find any suggestions on other threads. Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thank you!

5 Eco-friendly Australian Startups with Innovative Products
by Bernard Quibina Jr. - Marketing | Jul 23, 2019 | BLOG, Information Technology
The effects of Global Warming and Climate Change are undeniable. In efforts to help the environment, some eco-friendly Australian startups developed various products and services in efforts to save the planet.
Each year, the detrimental effects of Global Warming and Climate Change are felt not by humans alone, but all of life on Earth. Here are five eco-friendly Australian startups driven to save Mother Earth with their innovative products.
My Green World
Hive Haven
Sustain Me
Nature Mapr
Pollinate Energy
Edge Pledge

With a desire to address global wildlife and environmental challenges, Founding Director Natalie Kyriacou established MyGreenWorld in 2013. She wants to teach children at an early age to be conscious about wildlife conservation through her designed and produced app "World of the Wild."
The Melbourne-based social enterprise brings a different experience for its users because it's an app that allows gamers to build their own wildlife sanctuary, and rescue, feed and provide medical care for different animals, and clean up oil spills to protect the animals.
It also has built-in competitive pop quizzes and puzzles designed to educate young minds about various animals and how they could be saved. Plus, each animal in the app represents a real-life charity.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv8ybCDHuI6/
After discovering a colony of bees in their mechanical workshop in Beerburrum in Ann and Jeff Ross decided to lure the bees into a box that started Hive Haven. Established in 2011, Hive Haven's founders Ann and Jeff worked on growing beehives after their fateful encounter with bees. Ann developed an interest in bees and stingless native honey.
Coming from the family of apiarists, Jeff knows that there is a shortage of native honeybees globally. Together, they developed a 3D-printed hexagonal stingless bee box in 2015 to collaborate with beekeepers, scientists, and engineers. In 2017, they received funding from Queensland Ignite Fund for the development of Hive Haven V9.
Hive Haven V9 is designed to stabilise temperature and enable the harvesting of stingless native bee honey and propolis. Insulating the hive for hot and cold climatic conditions prolongs their lifespan, surviving the otherwise anti-climactic areas.

Pondering about identifying different types of recyclable plastic and recyclability of broken glass, Sustain Me founder Stephen Halpi developed an innovative app that helps you recycle.
Released in 2015, Sustain Me app aids users in recycling day-to-day items and proper waste management in a convenient manner. The app takes away the tedious, ineffective and inaccurate way of finding reliable information about recycling and waste management.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BmZ0ul-hdFj/
If we're looking for innovation, Nature Mapr is another strong contender in our eco-friendly Australian startup list. Nature Mapr is an innovative cloud software platform that assists organisations in collecting, managing, and analysing information about the natural world.
Aaron Clausen and the team behind the software is determined to document and include every plant and animal species in their database. They also want those in positions of power to notice and protect these important species. Every NatureMapr project is a collaboration between the government and the local community.

According to the International Monetary Fund in 2018, India is considered the 7th largest economy in the world by GDP and have an estimated number of 1.3 billion people in 2019.
Even when the country is one of the most prosperous in the world in terms of GDP, millions of people in India are still unable to access reliable energy like cooking and lighting in remote areas of the South Asian region.
In an attempt to address this problem, a team of volunteers and Pollinate Energy (now Pollinate Energy Group) Board of Director Alexie Seller (currently exited as CEO) that aims to empower communities through innovative social enterprise clean energy solutions. They help developing communities in India and Nepal to have empowered citizens, especially women and help them lead their communities out of poverty.

Australia is known as one of the most important nations on Earth for biodiversity, and most of Australia's wildlife is found nowhere else in the world. However, 20% of Australia's wildlife is now in the "threatened" category that's why the founders of EdgePledge are using an innovative model of raising money through pledging.
This pledging model is an easy way for people who wish to participate by signing up and have family and friends vote on three challenges and complete the most voted one to raise funds. It brings in collaboration and bonding to families and friends. The money raised on completion of these challenges goes towards the efforts to save wildlife from extinction.
With the issues in the environment, various efforts are done to save the environment. The eco-friendly Australian startups that develop their environmentally-friendly and innovative products to help Mother Nature.

Hi, I just read your book Mark of Cain and loved it! Alex is definitely my favorite secondary character, so I was wondering if you maybe plan to write a book with him as a MC? Thanks.
Kate Sherwood Oops, I missed this - sorry!
I don't have any PLANS for Alex, but that doesn't mean too much, really. If something comes to me, I'll definitely do it.
P…moreOops, I missed this - sorry!
Part of the problem with him as a hero, though, is that he's so mentally healthy right now. Like, he's gone through some crap and has some scars, but he knows who he is and accepts himself and has good coping mechanisms. All of which is great, for a person, but is kind of challenging for a main character! I mean, what would he overcome, exactly?
Oooh, unless he was the strong, stable one who helped his partner find happiness... and on the surface Alex seems flaky, so his partner could be really solid on the surface and underneath be a mess, and Alex could be the reverse... hmmmmm...(less)

To Serve and Protect (ONSET, #1)
by Glynn Stewart (Goodreads Author)
Audio version. Narrator was fine, and I liked the general set-up (not super-original, but some tropes I enjoy) but the writing style put me off.
This is a popular book, so clearly my issues with the writing are a personal thing, not a universal "go DNF
This is a popular book, so clearly my issues with the writing are a personal thing, not a universal "good" or "bad", but, damn, I really had issues with the writing. Pacing, for sure - I got to chapter 18 and felt like there were about three scenes I really enjoyed, mixed in with a hell of a lot of unnecessary details about the the training regimen, etc. (This may be a feature rather than a flaw - I've noticed it in other, similar books before).
And the writing seemed to need someone to just line edit, to catch all the repeated words that could have easily been avoided.
And the dialogue tags were pretty painful-in a scene with an Irish dragon we're told OVER AND OVER that the dragon had a brogue, and then the author starts tagging dialogue with "he brogued", and then we get the description again, and then the same strange dialogue tag, and... I GET IT. He's Irish. Message received.
Anyway. DNF at chapter 18. Not the book for me. ...more

That's quite simple to answer. It stands for 'Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for those in the GBLT Romance genre'. The explanation for that, however, is a bit more extensive. With all the different cons and such happening through the year, only a few were geared toward those in the GBLT romance genre. Not surprising since this genre is still up and coming. It has made great strides, but sadly, still not as popular as the het romances as far as being mainstream goes. It hasn't stopped us though. The books are still getting out there and the authors are still writing them. Unfortunately, these cons can only allow so many authors to attend. Then there is the price of registration. Flights, hotels, and other miscellany are added as well. All totaled up, attending one of these events can set an author back thousands. And for a newbie or even a mid-author, sometimes that price is just too much to pay. Especially if you're relegated to a lesser role than what you expected. And what of the other's that are involved in the writing process? The pubs, editors, cover artists, photographers, reviewers, readers, and fans? What about them? Don't they have a right to be a part of these events as well? So far, these events are for the pubs, authors, fans, and readers. But what if there was an event that could encompass everyone involved in the writing process? That could bring all these people under one roof to talk, meet, promo, and sell their work? That question had plagued Deborah and I for many months. Both of us had attended events, but none were geared for everyone. Then the wonderful guys at Bent-con invited us to share our media with their media in a conflagration of GBLT fireworks. Both of us jumped at the chance. What better place to have everyone involved in the writing process sharing knowledge, disparate experience, and their wares to those who will appreciate it. It was a win/win for everyone. ...more

Born in Berlin, the Austrian conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt spent his childhood and youth in Graz, where he grew up in the Meran Palace. His father was a scion of the de la Fontaine-d'Harnoncourt-Unverzagt family, Counts of Luxembourg and Lorraine, his mother the great-granddaughter of Archduke Johann of Styria.
He studied cello at the Vienna Academy of Music and joined the Vienna Symphony Orchestra as a cellist in 1952. A year later he founded the Concentus Musicus Wien together with his wife Alice, to provide a forum for his increasingly intensive work with period instruments and Renaissance and baroque musical performance tradition. Nikolaus Harnoncourt collected historical instruments and, in addition to his performing and conducting activities, devoted his time to his philosophical analyses of "Musik als Klangrede" ("music as speech"), which have to date remained the seminal works on the performance of early music, the key to an entire universe of forgotten works and musical experiences buried under the sands of time.
From 1972 Nikolaus Harnoncourt taught performance practice and the study of historical instruments at the Mozarteum University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Salzburg, while at the same time enjoying growing success as an opera conductor. His debut at the Theater an der Wien with Monteverdi'sIl ritorno d'Ulisse in patria in 1971 was followed by the now legendary cycle of Monteverdi operas, which he developed in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, director at the Zurich Opera House, and which was universally acclaimed as a sensational breakthrough. (It was recorded and is available in a boxed set from Warner Classics.) This cycle was followed by an equally exemplary and ground-breaking cycle of Mozart operas, again at the Zurich Opera House and again in partnership with Ponnelle.
Nikolaus Harnoncourt's career as a conductor of both orchestral works and opera encompassed Viennese Classicism, the Romantic repertoire and works from the 20th century. Some milestones are a Mozart cycle at the Vienna State Opera, the Salzburg Festival withMonteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea and Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and La clemenza di Tito. In between, he repeatedly returned to Zurich withWeber's Der Freischütz, Schubert's Des Teufels Lustschloss and Alfonso und Estrella, Offenbach's La belle Hélène, La Périchole and La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein, or Verdi's Aida.
With the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and theVienna Philharmonic and Berlin Philharmonic, Nikolaus Harnoncourt constantly reinterpreted and rediscovered the grand orchestral repertoire: the concertos and symphonies ofHaydn and Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Dvorák and Bruckner, but also the works ofBela Bartók and Alban Berg. A central venue for many of these projects has been the Styriarte Festival, founded in 1985 to establish a closer link between Nikolaus Harnoncourt and his home city of Graz. This is also where he first conducted Schumann's Genoveva, the Prelude and Liebestod fromWagner's Tristan and Isolde and, in 2001, Verdi's Requiem. In 2003 these were followed by the first scenic production of an opera withOffenbach 's La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein and by Bizet's Carmen in the year 2005. In 2008 Nikolaus Harnoncourt not only conducted but also directed an opera in Graz: Mozart'sIdomeneo, which was highly acclaimed by national and international media ("once-in-a-hundred-years event",Frankfurter Rundschau).
In 2009, he proved he had not only the Baroque but "the blues running through his veins" (Die Welt) with a highly acclaimed production of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. In 2011 he conducted in Graz a sensational production of The Bartered Bride (Smetana), followed by Offenbach's Barbe-Bleue (Bluebeard)" in 2013. The following year he returned to the Baroque with a scenic production of Purcell's The Fairy Queen.
Right up until his death in March 2016, Nikolaus Harnoncourt remained one of the few true stars among conductors worldwide. Performances like the New Year's Concert of theVienna Philharmonic Orchestra enabled him to reach an audience of millions, displaying the characteristic passion and fiery intensity that identify him, first and foremost, as a true servant of his art.

Our central location in Clifton NJ provides us with easy access to major highways such as I-80, I-287, I-280, Route 3, Route 19, and Route 46. We are only a short drive from New York City and other major urban centers in the tristate area.
Prior to relocating to our present 70,000 square foot facility, our team met with consultants to analyze potential layouts of the equipment and workstations. The chosen layout achieves an unparalleled work efficiency and optimizes the flow of material through our shop. The multiple bays in our facility are set up to enable simultaneous fabrication of several projects at once with no choke points in workflow. An interior runway allows several trucks at a time to load and offload material.
The shop is outfitted with numerous high-speed CNC machines such as drill lines, angle lines, a plate processor, and bandsaws. Each bay is also equipped with multiple heavy duty overhead cranes that add up to a total lifting capacity of 100 tons, with a maximum single lift of 35 tons. These features allow B&B to process and deliver steel in much shorter time windows than many other firms.
B&B is committed to ensuring that only the highest quality weldments leave our facility for the jobsite. It is more than our reputation at stake. The safety of the public also depends on the structural integrity of our product. That is why we hold our welders and weld inspectors to strict standards.
Our welders are certified per AWS D1.1 and receive periodic documented training by a Certified Welding Inspector. Each welder maintains a copy of the AWS D1.1 Manual tables for preheating requirements as well as copies of our in-house welding procedures. All welds are visually checked and recorded during our In-Process and Final Inspections and all full/partial penetration groove welds are ultrasonically tested in the shop by our CWI. These practices ensure that when our steel arrives at the jobsite, it is ready for erection with no mishaps or delays in schedule.
As an AISC Certified Fabricator, B&B Iron Works is held to a high standard of quality on all of our projects. Participating in this program requires that we maintain an internal Quality Control Program and are subject to an annual on-site audit performed by an outside agency hired by the American Institute of Steel Construction. B&B endeavors to exceed the requirements of AISC and has established measureable goals to continually improve on our commitment to quality.
Careful attention is paid to fabrication details such as preheating requirements, welded joint preparation, weld quality, surface preparation/coating, and final inspection. All of our equipment receives regular documented maintenance and calibration, from the most sophisticated machinery down to individual measuring tapes. In the office, our dedicated staff use the latest software for project coordination, tracking material, and programming CNC files for fabrication machinery. These practices ensure that every project achieves the highest measure of quality, timeliness, and efficiency.
Our multiple drill lines with band saws in tandem can make quick work of large scale projects.
Our CNC plate processor can drill, cut, mill, countersink, and bevel plates up to 4" thick with exceptional speed and precision.
In-house cambering of shapes up to W40x397 or W36x441.

Mark Sykes
Only one of many plots to divide the Middle East
To help better understand one of the most controversial agreements ever made, Team Tell History has put together a timeline for some key events surrounding the Sykes-Picot Agreement.
Making sense of Sykes-Picot
One hundred years ago today, two diplomats signed a secret agreement that has come to define the modern Middle East. While it may not have set the national borders we know today, the clandestine pact between European powers became the ultimate symbol for the kind of imperial fiddling that created a legacy of chaos in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, and the Gulf States.
By 1915 it was clear that the Ottoman Empire was sure to fall apart, even as they continued to fight alongside Germany and Austria in World War I. The crumbling empire was referred to as the 'sick man of Europe' and had been in decline for centuries, having lost much of its territory since its peak in the 17th Century. Britain, France, and Russia –all allies in the war and imperial powers in their own right, belonging to the so called "Triple Entente" — long hungered after the Ottoman Empire's vast holdings that spanned across the entire Anatolian Peninsula, much of the Arabian Peninsula, and the Levant.
Confident of victory in WWI, the question was how the Triple Entente would divide the spoils. Britain had already sealed one secret treaty with Russia, ceding control of Istanbul and the strategically important Dardanelles straight, which controlled passage from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean, in return for a free hand in the rest of the Empire. This meant that Britain still had to settle plans with its other ally, France, on how to divvy up the rest.
Two diplomats, Sir Mark Sykes of the United Kingdom and Francois Georges-Picot of France, spent five months in negotiations before signing an agreement on 16 May, 1916. Britain was primarily interested in bolstering its trade routes to India through the Persian Gulf and the Suez Canal, while France wanted to protect longstanding economic and cultural ties to the Levant.
The final agreement stipulated that Britain should control the area between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, the strategic ports of Haifa and Acre, southern and central Mesopotamia, and what is now Jordan. France was allocated Syria, Lebanon, northern Mesopotamia, and southeastern Anatolia.
The agreement remained a secret, however, because it completely bypassed local powers in the region, and even betrayed promises made to of local allies actively fighting the Ottomans. A year later in 1917, Vladimir Lenin, leader of the Russian Revolution, made the agreement public after discovering it in the files of the Tsarist government he had just overthrown. Lenin largely achieved his objective: revealing the duplicity, moral scrupulousness, and imperial scheming of the two largest imperial powers, both of which had already carved up most of the world into colonies and spheres of economic and political influence.
Although Britain and France were embarrassed and the agreement didn't fully resolve the post war order in the Middle East, they were to remain at the principal actors in future negotiations, and were arguably the even more powerful now that Russia had been weakened by its internal revolution in October 1917. The underlying dynamic of Sykes-Picot–European powers drawing arbitrary borders across regions they hardly understood–was to remain throughout subsequent treaties that created the modern nations of the Middle East.
Could there have been a better solution for the Middle East in the wake of World War I?
Historian and journalist Nick Danforth is skeptical, looking at subsequent developments with a series of maps in this interesting article. For some perspective, perhaps one might consider the challenges of introducing firm borders into an ethnically and religiously diverse area. All it takes is a simple look at Europe to see how bloody the imposition of a state system can be: how many millions of lives were lost as borders emerged and were redrawn across Europe since the modern nation state system emerged in 1648? Three-hundred years of wars, culminating in the most catastrophic horrors the world has ever seen, surely indicates that it's no easy task to build borders.
Not all European plans for the region were successful, as in the case of the Treaty of Sèvres which failed to enforce its mandate of Kurdish and Armenian states in Anatolia. But European plans to dominate weaker Arab areas in the former Ottoman Empire largely proceeded according to the Sykes-Picot framework, which is why people from the Islamic State to Western academics and media point to it as the root cause of dysfunction, political chaos and economic malaise in the Middle East.

Happy (American) Anniversary, Final Fantasy!
Colonel Angus
Today, is the 26th anniversary of the US release of the original Final Fantasy on the Nintendo Entertainment System. It's hard to believe that the game has been around so long, and in so many incarnations. Since the original release in December 1987 in Japan, there's been over a dozen re-releases, starting with the MSX release in 1989, which improved the sound and colorization. The US release was pretty faithful to the Famicom version, albeit with a single save file on battery (the MSX version saved files on blank floppy disks, so you could store as many as you wanted), and with more technical limitations. There was, as well, Nintendo of America's censorship, which prohibited use of religious iconography (such as churches, crosses, etc.). Despite all of that, the NES version of Final Fantasy was a very solid game.
Unlike the most current remakes, the NES Final Fantasy was restricted in the number of items, not only which you could wield, but also the variety. You were limited to the basic CURE, PURE and SOFT. Cure potions are a staple of the series, however, PURE and SOFT are not commonly used names. Today we better know those items as Antidote and Golden Needle respectively. However, the limitations of the NES hardware only allowed for up to four characters to be used for the names of items (as well as player names). Most monster names were limited to about six or eight digits. So a monster like Centipede became PEDE, Marilith became KARY (which I'm sure was Engrish for the Hindu goddess Kali) and Grey Goblins became GrIMP (imagine the Game GrIMPs on YouTube). Since this was the pre-internet era, most gamers didn't know there were restrictions. They just accepted it as is. Many even looked down on remakes use of Goblin for what we knew as Imps for so long! Heck, even the US version of Final Fantasy IV (which was called Final Fantasy II) used Imp. Job classes were also shortened, so Black Mages became BlMage, Monks were changed to BlBelts (black belts), and Warriors were called FIGHTER.
Another major limitation in the game were all the bugs. Many weapons and spells didn't work as intended. Spells like SABR and INVS did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Gamers spent hours of their lives grinding for GP just to buy spells that didn't work. Did they know? Probably not. Also there was an error in the code where the critical hit rate of a weapon was set as the index number of the weapon (for instance, the wooden nunchucks were zerowhile the Masamune was 40). An unarmed BlBELT (Monk) had a higher critical rate unarmed than one wielding nunchucks, even at Lvl. 1. Strangely, this has been kept in every version of the game ever since. Another error was in the Intelligence stat, where the higher the INT, the more useful spells were supposed to be. This however, was bugged out, so a Knight could use a CURE spell just as effectively as a WhWIZ.
However, the greatest glitch was the "Peninsula of Power". This three-square area at the tip of a Peninsula east of PRAVOKA was available quite early in the game (after the KING of CORNERIA built the BRIDGE), and made available monsters that shouldn't have been available until way later in the game. You could face off against such fiends as FrWOLF and ZomBULLs. Generally you could go there, fight to near death, survive and run back to PRAVOKA to rest at the INN. Here you could quickly gain levels and GP, so you could buy all those spells that didn't work. This happened because the world map was broken up into 8 sectors. The programmers placed monsters in each sector based on when you would encounter them in the game. Apparently, the Peninsula just reached over to the upper grid, so monsters from that part of the game crept over.
But it wasn't all bugs and glitches in the first Final Fantasy. A lot of the game was inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. It was so inspired that Squaresoft had to change a character in the Japanese version from the Beholder, to the EYE in the US version so they wouldn't be sued (eventually Squaresoft would change its name to Evil Eye, and their name to Square Enix). The image of the creature was also altered from a bulbous monster with a large eye and tentacle eyes to one that was a large, skull-like Cyclopes head with smoke coming from below (which looked like tentacles on the NES). Piscodemons were changed to WIZARDs and Mindflayers to SORCERERs, even though neither monster used magic (Mindflayers/SORCERERS did have a death hit, though).
Despite all of this, the original Final Fantasy had plenty of challenge and was incredibly fun. It's probably the easiest to pick up and play, without having to worry about a long winded storyline. It's also simple enough to play where you don't need a tutorial to remember how to do anything. You go to town, you buy equipment, you put equip the equipment (DON'T FORGET TO EQUIP), and then you set out to smash IMPs until you're strong enough to take on GARLAND. You may be asking what's with all the CAPS. Well, that cannot be explained. Squaresoft just love to use CAPS for all the proper names. The late '80s and early '90s were a very strange time, just go with it.

Interesting read! I had no idea about the limitations and such with the monster and player names. It's scary to think how much technology has advanced in 26 years! Also this has kind of makes me want to play the original FF. I did play it briefly when I bought Origins and Anthology for PS1 but to be honest I didn't really give the original, II, IV and V much time of day. Didn't play any of them for long. Call me shallow but after playing FFVII, VIII, IX and the FFX demo I couldn't adjust to the graphics.
Colonel Angus - 07-13-2016, 01:41 AM
Of all of them, you should give FFV a shot. It's probably the best out of the first V games.
IV & III were remade w/ 3D graphics & are available on Steam. III's remake is also on the DS.

Did they know? Probably not.
To be fair, we did. Some of us. I can't account for everyone in the US at the time.

I will see about picking up a PSP and playing the remake. I could get my hands on the original if i wanted to as well. It might be a good idea to play both, so I can be a geek and compare and contrast them.

COVID-19 Policy Takes Steps to Advance Gender Equity—But These Are Only a Start
4/15/2020 by Jennifer Weiss-Wolf and Julia Morrison
"The national policy response has featured a handful of provisions that aim to advance gender and economic equity, both federally and in some states," write Weiss-Wolf and Morrison. "Good news? Sort of." (Gilbert Mercier)
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed life as we know it—ravaging public health, crashing global markets, shuttering local businesses and bringing the cadence of daily life to a halt.
Contrary to the notion that the virus is a great equalizer—a claim made by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at his daily briefing, and echoed by Madonna on Instagram—this crisis surely has a disparate impact on marginalized communities.
This includes women, who are among those least likely to weather the uncertain economy and most prone to absorb its collateral harm.
The national policy response has featured a handful of provisions that aim to advance gender and economic equity, both federally and in some states. Good news? Sort of.
Menstrual equity in the federal stimulus package. When President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities (CARES) Act on March 27, one long sought reform was ushered in—the designation of menstrual products as a qualified medical expense under the IRS Tax Code. The practical result is that tampons, pads, cups and other similar products are now eligible for inclusion in health savings and flexible spending account allowances. These enable employees to set aside pre-tax earnings to pay for expenses ranging from doctor visit co-pays to sunscreen. Until now, menstrual products were deemed ineligible by the IRS since they do not "alleviate or aid in the treatment plan of a specific illness."
The reform proposal itself is not new. A similar effort to expand the IRS classification passed the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 with bipartisan support, but never reached the Senate for a vote. It has also been a staple of the Menstrual Equity for All Act, championed by U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-NY) since 2017.
Gratefully, the federal government finally got the memo: Periods don't stop for pandemics.
Progress in the fight to eliminate the 'tampon tax.' In a similar vein, Washington State, the initial epicenter for COVID-19 cases in the U.S., passed legislation on March 10 requiring that menstrual products be sales-tax-exempt—becoming the latest state to scrap the so-called tampon tax. Gov. Jay Inslee set a national example when he signed the bill just weeks later on April 3, in the height of the crisis, underscoring the argument that a tax exemption is one way to lessen the financial burden of menstruation. The American Medical Association is among the experts who have voiced support of that perspective, deeming the tampon tax a "regressive penalty" for women, who not only earn less than male counterparts but are overrepresented in low-wage work and care-giving roles—disparities further heightened and exacerbated by the pandemic.
Washington passed legislation on March 10 requiring that menstrual products be sales-tax-exempt—becoming the latest state to scrap the so-called tampon tax. (syed zaheer)
There are currently 30 states that still do not exempt menstrual products from sales tax. Eliminating the tampon tax nationwide is the focus of a policy and legal campaign led by the organization Period Equity and grassroots activists across the country.
A clamp down on the 'pink tax,' too. And in the heart of the crisis, New York State, Gov. Cuomo's April 1 budget includes a long-sought ban on the pink tax—a moniker sometimes used interchangeably with tampon tax, though the two are not the same. The pink tax is shorthand for the insidious private industry practice of gender-based pricing—that is, price gouging goods and services that are targeted at women. (For those keeping score, New York was among the first states to eliminate its tampon tax, back in 2016.)
A 2018 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office confirmed that the practice is widespread; products intended for women consumers cost more than the men's equivalent a whopping 50 percent of the time.
The pink tax is the extra amount that women pay for everyday products. (AXTHEPINKTAX.com)
An earlier New York City Department of Consumer Affairs study comparing nearly 800 products from 91 brands found that on average, items for women or girls cost 7 percent more than comparable ones for men and boys.
Now, under the new law, any business that is found to engage in gender-based price discrimination in New York will be subject to stiff civil penalties. Similar legislation has been introduced unsuccessfully at the federal level, most recently by Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA) and Congressman Tom Reed (R-NY) last year. The bipartisan Pink Tax Repeal Act would allow the Federal Trade Commission to enforce violations and also give State Attorneys General the authority to take civil action on behalf of consumers wronged by gender-based pricing.
The Gender Equity Road Ahead
Despite these modest advances and affirmations, seemingly neutral laws and interventions in the age of COVID-19 still adversely impact women, some in life-or-death ways.
At least ten states—Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas—are using the pandemic as an opportunity to exert executive power to restrict abortion access in the name of public safety. A reprehensible display—and doubly disingenuous with an overwhelmingly conservative judiciary now in the role of ultimate arbiter.
And as experts warned from the outset of a predictable surge in the rates and severity of domestic abuse under current conditions, public support systems remain woefully inadequate—leaving the safety of millions needlessly compromised. These are unacceptable burdens for women to bear.
And so, let us posit that the three legislative wins above—in which gender equity principles broke through the morass and made their way into core budgetary reforms—are not so much a consolation prize, but a clarion call.
For example, now that the federal government has acknowledged that menstrual products are indeed a medical necessity for those of us who use them, new groundwork can be laid for more expansive policies on core issues of menstrual access and affordability, product safety and transparency, and more far-reaching acknowledgment of the intersection of women's health and the economy.
Women deserve governance and policies that fully reflect our realities—at all times, and especially when crises threaten to hit us hardest.
The coronavirus pandemic and the response by federal, state and local authorities is fast-moving. During this time, Ms. is keeping a focus on aspects of the crisis—especially as it impacts women and their families—often not reported by mainstream media.

Starting your own business is a risky proposition. This is the reason getting capital is so costly and difficult. Investors' goals, at least the ones who are trying to maximise their financial returns, are looking to do so at a minimum risk. Hence getting at the front of the venture capitalists potential candidates line means increasing returns and/or reducing risks. The only way I know how to do both at once is to address your commercialisation risk.
Just about every risk one can think of (even health related ones) can be a concern when starting your own company. The risks an entrepreneur needs to consider are the ones that have a combination of significance of the consequences and likelihood of happening that mean your company's revenues, or worse its survival, are at risk.
Classifying start-up risks is in itself a risky proposition as various types of start-ups will classify a same risk in different categories. However, with the objective of simplification in mind here are the main start-up risk categories.
Can the company deliver a product which lives up to all of its promises in a timely, cost effective, scalable fashion?
Will the company have sufficient funds to develop until it starts getting sales revenue (also known as the runway)? Once it starts selling, will it have sufficient funds to ensure operations, growth and unforeseen expenses?
Do the founders have the necessary skill set to take the company to where it wants to go? Are the critical functions covered? Is the business model the right one to get optimal growth?
Have the pertinent political, environmental, social, technological and legal risks been addressed in a fashion that will enable the company to see them coming and take the necessary actions in a timely fashion to mitigate them?
Is the product's value proposition sufficient to attract buyers? Is the market sufficient to sustain the company's goals? If the first two questions are answered positively, this is usually the killer question; does your start-up have the abilities to sell its products to its target markets?
The commercialisation risk incorporates many risks that can also be found in other categories. The figure below shows a map of commercialisation risks that should be taken into consideration. Source: Luoma, T., Paasi, J. and Nordlund, H. (2008), Managing Commercialisation Risks in Innovation Development: Linking Front End and Commercialisation, In Proc. of The XIX ISPIM Conference.
Lean Startup strongly advocates getting to know your market before you develop your product. You start by having a business idea; you quickly identify the underlying hypotheses of your idea and then devise an experiment where your minimum viable product (MVP) will test the validity of these hypotheses. Inevitably, at one point in your series of experiments, you will need to test the hypothesis that your market is willing to pay money for your product i.e. you can sell. Later you will need to test that you can scale your business idea to a level that is sustainable, i.e. sell enough to sustain your business. These experiments, that are meant to collect the most information with the least effort in order to get you to your product/market fit, are the embodiment of reducing your commercialisation risk.
Other practices encouraged in Lean Startup are to take the time to properly define your value proposition, methodically collect data to validate your market hypotheses and understand the cues from your market. Use management tools, such as the Business Model Generation, adapted to the start-up environment. All of these Lean Startup practices are meant not only to ensure you know how to sell your product but also to reduce your various start-up risks.
There is a reason why venture capitalists are, not only taking notice of start-ups using the Lean Startup methodology, but increasingly encouraging it, it makes their job easier.


Left to right: BPP tutor Charlie Radcliffe, Baker McKenzie partner Kirsty Wilson, Hogan Lovells partner Rebecca Wales, NOTICED co-chair Ramesh Pani and Mayer Brown associate Emma Sturt.
At Legal Cheek's 'How to make it as a City lawyer' event earlier this month, a host of City lawyers delved beyond the glossy graduate recruitment brochures and provided wannabe solicitors with an unfiltered view of life in the capital.
Gathering at BPP University Law School in Holborn were: Kirsty Wilson, a corporate partner at Baker McKenzie, Rebecca Wales, a commercial litigation partner at Hogan Lovells, Emma Sturt, an associate in banking and finance at Mayer Brown, Charlie Radcliffe, a tutor at BPP University Law School and Ramesh Pani, co-chair of diversity organisation NOTICED and associate at Ashurst.
Many trainee hopefuls face the difficult question of whether they should start their careers in or outside of London. With the ever-increasing salaries of City lawyers, it is understandable that the money is a big factor. "That's not something to sweep under the carpet", says former Simmons & Simmons lawyer Radcliffe, "the rewards are very high when you're working in the City".
Baker McKenzie's Wilson thinks it's imperative students know what they're looking for in a legal career, "do your research, but then make it applicable to you", she advises, "but remember: the choice you make doesn't have to be forever". Pani read law at the University of Manchester, but reveals to an audience of over 120 that it was the opportunities and exposure available that drew him from the North to the South.
A number of City firms are expanding into regions through the launch of legal hubs and the panel were asked whether this trend poses a threat to the City. Hogan Lovells' Wales doesn't view this as a challenge. Her firm recently opened an office in the West Midlands which forms an "integrated part" of the firm's London HQ. A large team of Birmingham-based paralegals, trainees and lawyers can now assist their London colleagues in areas such as litigation, real estate and corporate transactions.
It's the ability to work in teams across different departments and offices, bouncing ideas off others, to get something over the line that Pani enjoys most. "The sheer scale of work — that just isn't available in the regions at the moment", he says.
Wales remembers when the BlackBerry became an essential workplace tool and feeling that you couldn't put it down. "It's important to impose self-discipline and know when you need to react", she says. A difficult judgement for juniors, she notes, is when they're copied into a relentless number of emails. It's important to be able to differentiate between what is critical and what can wait until next week. "Just because you receive a letter from the other side at midnight does not necessarily mean it has to be read at midnight. It's perfectly reasonable to wait until the next day", she says.
City law is a very personal lifestyle choice, says Pani, referencing the sleeping pods available at some City outfits. "There are long hours in many professions — you have to weigh up the pros and cons and see whether this is for you", he says. Lawyers are taken care of, however. If Pani happens to work late one day, he'll get his dinner paid for and a taxi home.
Mother-of-two Sturt recently relocated to Buckinghamshire for a better work-life balance. It's very commutable, she says, and flexible working allows her to work from home one day a week.
With regard to working hours, Sturt has the added benefit of being in a previous career. The former civil engineer appreciates that although the hours are longer than her previous nine to five role, Sturt finds that she's no longer "clockwatching" because she's enjoying what she does.

Home Blog Entry NASA satellites see System 97L serve up a soaking
NASA satellites see System 97L serve up a soaking
System 97L may not yet be a tropical depression, but it feels like it to the residents of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Hispaniola. NASA satellite data captured both rainfall and cloud temperatures as this system continues to organize.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla. predicted that conditions were favorable for formation of a tropical depression or tropical storm from System 97L – an area of disturbed weather over Puerto Rico and Hispaniola.
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed over that area on July 21 at 0136 UTC (July 20 at 9:36 p.m. EDT) and captured data used in a rainfall analysis. This
rainfall analysis shows that intense rainfall was already affecting southwestern Haiti. Some areas are receiving up to 2 inches of rain per hour as System 97L continues to develop.
Rain rates are created from different instruments aboard TRMM. The rain rates in the center of TRMM images are derived from the TRMM Precipitation Radar, the only space borne radar of its kind, while those in the outer portion are from the TRMM Microwave Imager. The rain rates are then overlaid on infrared data from the TRMM Visible Infrared Scanner to create an entire image. Today's image included infrared data from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-13) to fill in locations not viewed by the TRMM satellite. The TRMM rainfall images and GOES images are created at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Md.
On July 21 at 6:23 UTC (2:23 a.m. EDT) NASA's Aqua satellite flew over System 97L and using the technology from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument, captured a view of System 97L's cold cloud top temperatures and warm ocean surface waters below it.
The AIRS image showed some high thunderstorms (indicating strong storms) that make up System 97L were over Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The bulk of the thunderstorm activity was east of Puerto Rico and over the Virgin Islands at the time the Aqua satellite flew overhead. Thunderstorm cloud tops were colder than -63 Fahrenheit, while ocean surface temperatures were warmer than the 80 degrees Fahrenheit needed to power a tropical cyclone.
By 8 a.m. EDT on July 21, satellite data indicated that the shower activity associated with System 97L was becoming less organized. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted that a tropical depression is not expected to form today, but conditions are still favorable for that development.
System 97L is moving west-northwest near 10 mph, and will affect the Bahamas tomorrow, Thursday, July 22. The NHC still maintains a 60 percent chance that System 97L will develop into a tropical depression in the next 48 hours.
Meanwhile, locally heavy rains and gusty winds will continue to affect the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola today. The NHC said that the gusty winds and heavy rains "will likely spread over the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas during the next couple of days. The heavy rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud slides in mountainous areas."

This book surprised me in the best way. I really enjoyed all three of the characters and loved seeing their friendship grow. It can be hard to carry a story over three POVs, but Jen Doll did it quite well. I enjoyed all POV's equally.
This book falls perfectly into the category of "contemporary novel that deals with serious issues". It also has a creative premise. Real friendships grow between the characters and just seeing them interact was so much fun, they read like typical teens (or at least I assume what typical teens of today are like because I haven't been a teen for four years).
This book also deals with many social issues while set in a conservative setting, which was interesting to read about. I loved the conversations the three of them had about race, religion, homosexuality, and sexual assault. These conversations made the characters feel real and relevant.
At the end Doris' parents reveal something BIG, but we do not get to see much of what happens after that. Clearly, this was a big deal for this family and I would have liked to see that explored more. (Is there going to be a sequel?).
I would honestly like a sequel with these characters to continue seeing them grow together and on their own. Also, then we could see what happened after Doris' family reveal and she could get the page time she deserves.


Grab a timer and set it for one minute. Now list as many creative uses for a brick as you can imagine. Go.
The question is part of a classic test for creativity, a quality that scientists are trying for the first time to track in the brain.
They hope to figure out precisely which biochemicals, electrical impulses and regions were used when, say, Picasso painted "Guernica," or Louise Nevelson assembled her wooden sculptures. Using M.R.I. technology, researchers are monitoring what goes on inside a person's brain while he or she engages in a creative task.

Carma Williams elected Warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry
For just the second time in its 171-year history, a female will be the Warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.
Carma Williams, the Deputy Mayor of the Township of North Glengarry, was today elected by her peers around the County Council table to sit as Warden in 2022.
The last time a female led County Council was in 2008, when Estella Rose, then the Deputy Mayor of North Dundas, sat as Warden.
"It is an honour that my colleagues around the Council table saw fit to put their trust in me," said Williams following her election. "The County finds itself well- positioned as we enter what I believe is the beginning of the end of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our region. We have seen record development in SDG. It is now Council's job to capitalize on this momentum and ensure that the County continues to provide programming and services that will benefit all those that call this region their home."
Council decides every autumn who will sit as Warden for the coming year. Williams will be sworn in in December.

Q: Developing PowerBI Visuals I find it difficult to wrap my head around developing a PowerBI visual from scratch. I was reading wiki, guide, inspecting examples, but still feel like there's a huge gap in understanding how it works internally - it did not 'click'. (I understand basics of how D3 works so not too worried about that part)

Question:
I hope I'm not asking too much, but could someone, using this barchart as an example, post a sequence of which methods in the visual source are called (and how the data is converted and passed) when:

*

*The visual is added to the dashboard in PowerBI,

*A category and a measure are assigned to the visual,

*Data filter in PowerBI changes,

*An element on our custom visual is selected.

*Your option which you think may be relevant

I used this specific visual as an example because it was mentioned as meeting minimum requirements for contributing a new custom visual, which sounds like a good starting point, source:

New Visual Development
Please follow our minimum requirements for implementing a new visual. See the wiki here.

(the link references the barchart tutorial)
However, if you have a better example visual - please use that instead.

This is all I got:

Many thanks in advance.

A: I also have some extra and more generic additions:

*

*Power BI uses the capabilities.json structure to determine a) what should be data pane (dataRoles) and how Power BI bind that data to your visual (dataViewMappings) and b) what can be shown in the formatting pane (e.g. placeholders).

*the enumerateObjectInstances() is an optional method that is used by Power BI to initialize the formatting pane. The structure returned by this method should be equal to the structure in the capabilities.json file.

*the update() method (required) is called when something is changing regarding your visual. Besides databinding changes, also a resize of the visual or a format option triggers the method.

*the visualTransform() method is indeed an internal method and not directly called by Power BI. In case of the BarChart it is called by the update() method so the arrow is correct. Most visuals have some kind of method and it is used to convert the Power BI DataView structure to the internal structure (and sometimes to some extra calculations).

*Both the constructor and the update() method have parameters (options) which provides callback mechanisms to Power BI, like the ISelectionManager (via options.host.createSelectionManager()), which alters the interaction of the visual with the rest of the Power BI visuals.

The structure of how custom visuals are interacting with Power BI hasn't changed that much since the beginning. Only with the new API the interaction and possibilities has changed: is used to be an open world, but now it is limited.
Hope this helps you in gaining a better overview of a Power BI custom visual.

A: A few comments on your graphic. You are obviously using the view model (good):

*

*After any data change, filter change, or object change (format in your pic), visualTransform() is called. The data comes in odd formats so will need repackaging (for anything other than simple). That gets done here and a data object that the developer defines gets returned. I build this data object as an array because d3 loves arrays.

*update() is then called (I think your arrow in the pic here is the wrong way around). This is slightly tricky because d3 interaction now comes into play. If you have used d3().enter (and you probably have) then that executes only once so on a subsequent PBI update() only d3() non-enter instructions are followed. If you put everything in d3().enter then any subsequent data update won't appear to work.

*Alternatively you can d3().remove() and rebuild the svg on each PBI update(). Whether this is practical will depend on your data and the visual.

Thank you for having a crack at documenting the flow. MS documentation is very lame at the moment.


Virgin Voyages has released a new video which features a closer, more in depth look at the cruise first of four exciting new cruise ships.
Scarlet Lady is currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa, Italy. The adults-only ship is expected to enter service in April 2020.
Virgin Voyages has released several designs and images of their RockStar Suites. The exciting brand new, game-changer cruise line is throwing out traditional clichés on luxury and formalities, instead bringing Rebellious Luxe to life at sea with their RockStar Suites designed by Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio as the pinnacle of that experience.
Virgin Voyages first ship, Scarlet Lady, set to debut in 2020, will feature a total of 78 RockStar Suites, all located on the top decks and will feature private balconies. The RockStar Suites have been designed to maximize ocean views and many will have 'peek-a-boo' showers with an inset window overlooking the ocean. The suite accommodations will feature mood lighting that automatically adjusts throughout the day.
Virgin Voyages has announced that bookings for the inaugural season of its first cruise ship, Scarlet Lady, will go on sale on 14 February 2019.
Cruise itineraries are still yet to be announced but Virgin Voyages has confirmed that the ship will home port from Miami and cruise to Havana, Cuba. The ship will sail from a custom-built state-of-the-art cruise terminal to be construction at PortMiami.
