Johns Hopkins Health - Caregivers May Live Longer
Caregivers May Live Longer
Taking on the responsibility of caring for a loved one who is disabled or chronically ill can be stressful and difficult. But it also may be life-prolonging for the caregiver, according to a new study led by David Roth, Ph.D., director of the Center on Aging and Health at Johns Hopkins. Roth analyzed data from a long-range national study of stroke risk factors, and he found that caregivers lived nine months longer over a six-year period, on average, than a matched sample of noncaregivers.
The results were "somewhat surprising," he says, but not a complete contradiction to perceived wisdom. One reason for added longevity may be that, within a family, the healthiest person signs on for the role of caregiver. Another may be that helping others is in itself beneficial to the helper.
The challenge now is providing a more balanced view of caregiving and recognizing that caring for a disabled family member is usually not bad for your health. "Providing care to a family member with a chronic illness or disability can be stressful, but this stress is not associated with an increased risk of death in most cases," Roth says. "Caregiving is also a positive and healthy activity in many families, and it appears to be associated with modest survival benefits for the caregivers."

Q: How to add Individual LSTM layers for each task in multi-task learning with Pytorch for example, I define a model for 2 tasks in multi-task way.
class BertMy(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self, segment_size, output_size, dropout):
        super(BertMy, self).__init__()
        self.bert = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("cl-tohoku/bert-base-japanese")
        self.bert_vocab_size = 32000
        self.bn = nn.BatchNorm1d(segment_size*self.bert_vocab_size)
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(segment_size*self.bert_vocab_size, output_size)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(segment_size*self.bert_vocab_size, output_size)
        self.dropout = nn.Dropout(dropout)

    def forward(self, x):

        x = self.bert(x).logits
        x = x.view(x.shape[0], -1)
        x1 = self.fc1(self.dropout(self.bn(x)))
        x2 = self.fc2(self.dropout(self.bn(x)))
        return [x1,x2]

I want add 2 Individual LSTM layers for 2 tasks, in order to predicate them Individually.
How should I define this in Pytorch?

An Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific ..., Bind 1
Af William Mariner
One of the principal matabooles then addressed the spirit of Finow's father to the following purpose: " Behold the man (meaning "Finow) who has come to Tonga to fight his "enemies; be pleased with him, and grant " him thy protection; he comes to battle, "hoping he is not doing wrong; he has al"ways held Tooitonga* in the highest respect, " and has attended to all religious ceremonies " with exactness." One of the attendants then went to Finow, and received from him a piece of cava root, which he laid down on the raised mount before the Fytoka (burying-place). Several others, who had pieces of cava root in their bosoms, went up to the grave in like manner and deposited them. The ceremony being thus finished, Finow and his friends returned to the beach, where a large root of cava was brought to them as a present, by the chief of the consecrated place, on which they regaled. During this time, the greater part of the men who were not yet disembarked employed themselves in preparing for battle, again painting their bodies and faces after various fanciful forms. The enemy on shore were also in a state of preparation: they shouted the war
* Tooitonga is a great chief, supposed to be descended from a God.
Deschiption of Ni'oocALO'FA Fort TREss. 97
whoop, and ran up and down the beach with furious gestures; splashing up the water with their clubs, brandishing them in the air, flourishing their spears, and bidding bold defiance to their invaders. Finow and his attendants having returned on board, the whole fleet proceeded to a neighbouring fortress called Nioocalofa, the strongest, though not the largest, in the whole island. As it will be proper to understand the usual form and construction of these Tonga fortresses, we shall give a general description of them, taking that of Nioocalofa as a model for the rest. The fortress of Nioocalofa is situated on the west coast of the island, about one hundred yards distant from the water's edge, and occupies about four or five acres of ground. It consists, in the first place, of a strong wall or fencing of reeds, something like wicker-work, supported on the inside by upright posts, from six to nine inches in diameter, and situated a foot and a half distant from each other; to which the reed-work is firmly lashed by tough sinnet, made of the husk of the cocoa-nut. This fencing is about nine feet in height, the posts rising about a foot higher: it has four large entrances, as well as several small ones, W 0 L. I. H
secured on the inside by horizontal sliding pieces, made of the wood of the cocoa-nut tree. Over each door, as well as at other places, are erected platforms even with the top of the fence ing, supported chiefly on the inside, but projecting forward to the extent of two or three feet: these platforms are about nine feet square, and situated fifteen yards distant from each other; and as they are intended for the men to stand on, to shoot arrows, or throw down large stones, they are also defended in front, and half way on each side, by a reed-work six feet high, with an opening in front, and others on either hand, for the greater convenience of throwing spears, &c. The lower fencing has also openings for a similar purpose. On the outside is a ditch of nearly twelve feet deep, and as much broad; which, at a little distance, is encompassed by another fencing similar to the first, with platforms, &c. on the outside of which
there is a second ditch. The earth dug out of .
these ditches forms a bank on each side, serving to deepen them. Opposite each large doorway, there is no ditch dug. The inner and outer fencings are ornamented profusely with white shells. Some of these fortifications are square, others round. That of Nioocalofa was round.

Disembarkation of the forces—Siege of Nioocalofa—Destruction of the fortress—Cruelty of the conquerors— Decription of the effect of the artillery—Embarkation for Pangaimotoo—Ceremony of invoking a God—Inspiration of a priest—Return to Tonga—The fortress rebuilt—Cannibalism—Garrison of Bea enters into alliance with Finow—Finow embarks again for Pangaimotoo, leaving the fortress in the care of the chief of Bea—Treachery of this chief—Return of the fleet to the Hapai islands— Astonishment of Finow at the mode of communicating sentiments by writing, with the circumstance that gave rise to it—A Tonga chief and his family join Finow.— Arrival at Lefooga—Ceremony of Fuccalahi—Ceremony of marriage between Tooitonga and Finow's daughter.
Finow being arrived with the whole of his fleet off Nioocalofa, and having with him, besides Mr. Mariner, fifteen other Englishmen, eight of whom were armed with muskets, he proceeded to land his troops under cover of a fire of musketry, which speedily drove almost all the enemy who had sallied forth back into the garrison. The first fire killed three, and wounded several; and a repetition of it threw them into such dismay, that in five minutes only forty of the bravest remained to molest them ; and these began to retire, as the forces of Finow increased on the beach. In the mean while, the carronades were dismounted from their carriages, slung on poles, and conveyed over a shallow reef to the shore. The whole army being landed, and the guns again mounted, the latter were drawn up before the garrison, and a regular fire was commenced. Finow took his station on the reef, seated in an English chair, (from the Port au Prince) for his chiefs would not allow him to expose his person on shore. The fire of the carronades was kept up for about an hour: in the mean while, as it did not do all the apparent mischief to the exterior of the fortress, owing to the yielding nature of its materials, that the king expected, he sent for Mr. Mariner, and expressed his disappointment: the latter replied, that no doubt there was mischief enough done on the inside of the fort, wherever there were resisting bodies, such as canoes, the posts and beams of houses, &c.; and that it was already very evident the besieged had no reason to think slightly of the effect of the artillery, seeing that they had already greatly slackened their exertions, not half the number of arrows being
now discharged from the fort; arising, in all

On Being Coy When Writing: Don't!
Last week I got a story rejection. It was the first on my latest piece, but I got a very nice rejection letter, with lots of feedback. Some of which was in the form of questions, asking how certain characters were connected, and I read it thinking "What? How did that not make sense? Did you READ the damn thing?" And then I re-read the letter, a bit more slowly, to try and parse out exactly what was confusing the readers.
Turns out I'm being coy. STILL.
While writing the novel with A (my old writing partner), oh so many years ago, we realized that we kept falling into the trap of being coy with information. New writers--hell, even more experienced writers--do it. A lot. We think that to build suspense we have to hold back information and then spring it on the reader. Tada! we say. Look at this cool thing I pulled out of my hat when you weren't looking!
Suspense is built when characters are in the dark, not when readers are. Sure, some pieces of information need to be kept aside for a while, and then used when the time is right. Some of suspense is about timing, too. But we often confuse a story with a joke, thinking we have to build up to a surprise, a punchline. And then what happens is that the reader is lost or bored, on the verge of throwing the book away because that 100 (or 50, or even 10) pages they were going to give you to make something happen is nearly used up. And then where are you? Right: you're in the bin or the pile to go to the charity shop, UNREAD!
When telling a story, we have to TELL THE DAMN STORY. Yet, somehow, I am still not doing that, if even in a small way. I thought I was doing it better. I thought I was straddling the line between letting the story unfold and just blabbing a bunch of information. Obviously I'm still fucking it up. And now I have to go back and revise this story again, somehow look at it as if I've never seen it before and make it make sense. I have to be brave enough to push myself away from the wall and go ask it to dance. Again.
My First Book 'Signing'!
Last week I did my second public smut reading. It was as fun as the first!
I was so lucky to have so many of my friends show up. I had a posse of six :) Which is fab considering there were 5 of us reading and the space was limited. It was so cool to look up and find a familiar face in every corner of the audience!
The environment at Sh! in Hoxton is comfortable but 'saucy'. We were all plied with lots of bubbly as well as cakes, and there was plenty of time to browse the goods both upstairs and down, where the reading took place. I was the last reader, after KD Grace, Kay Jaybee, Elizabeth Coldwell, and Jacqueline Applebee. About halfway through the first set of readers, a rather 'energetic' group of customers came in upstairs. Sounded like a hen party! Going last, especially after the stories and excerpts these four great ladies read, can be daunting. But I felt confident with my story--I just needed to keep up the pacing in a story with war/battle metaphors and lots of action! I think I accomplished that, based on the reaction from one of the Sh! girls as she came to the 'stage' to thank us all for coming ;)
At the end, we had some time to visit, and I signed books. MY FIRST SIGNING! It was for two of my friends, plus the other authors and a copy that we all signed to be given away by the shop. But still! I autographed books! ha!
And then some of us went out for curry and ate and drank and talked. The End :)
All Hail the Subconscious
My mind plays trick on me.
It doesn't make me see things that aren't there or insist that you said something you didn't say. Instead, it waits until I'm deep in the flow and writing away before pulling a rabbit out of its hat.
Several months ago I gave my PhD supervisor an early draft of pieces of the novel as well as a draft of a short story I've been working on for a year or so now. One of her most important comments was about characters' names. Without realizing it, I had named three characters after people. One was long dead but a famous historic personage. Fair enough. But the other two are very much alive, people I've never met, but friends of hers AND well-known in the SF/F community. Somehow their names wormed their way into my subconscious and then popped back out when I was in need.
Now that I think of it, I've not done a check to be sure that the new names I chose for the characters don't also belong to people famous or infamous.
The trickery doesn't stop with names. Nor is it always such a negative thing.
I'm working without a plan, without an outline. I don't tend to write that way, and I don't particularly LIKE writing that way. But it's how this novel has happened, and I'm on a deadline and can't wait for the diamond-encrusted muses to get back to me, so I'm writing by the seat of my pants.
I come up with a lot of ideas, and solve a lot of problems, in the 'in-between'--that state between being awake and being asleep. Having a notebook and pen next to the bed are necessary. When I'm writing by the seat of my pants, I have to trust a sort of waking 'in-between' (flow, the zone, whatever you call it) to keep me moving forward. Last week I was working on the Victorian section of the novel, in which a young girl, the daughter of an estate's head gardener, meets her aunt for the first time. I'd recently discovered Julia Margaret Cameron, the Victorian-era photographer, and used her as inspiration when creating the aunt character. She takes her niece, on the day of their first meeting, out into the grounds to show her what the camera does. The niece stands against a tree, where her aunt photographs her. The girl's dress and the tree are much the same color, but it's her face that shines out from the shadows, her look stern.
I finished writing the scene, sat back in my chair, and looked up at the bulletin board above my desk. Right at a photograph--one of many I've bought over the years at antiques stores and flea markets--of a young girl in Edwardian dress, standing in front of a large tree trunk, her clothes and the tree of similar hue, her face clear and light, with a harsh look in her eyes.
As a writer I like to think that the ideas I come up with are original, but I know better. Plus, this way is more interesting.

Notes As early as 1940 the US ordinance board requested a need for an anti-tank gun of at least 75mm, this resulted in a combination of the 3in T9 anti-aircraft gun and the 105mm M2 howitzer carriage. Further modifications took place and the results were that the 3in was in fact a better weapon than the 75mm. The weapon itself was very heavy which didn't please the Infantry, plus the tank destroyer department didn't want another towed gun due to the mobility of the GMCs. The 3in was therefore cancelled. But due to pressure from General McNair the weapon got a second chance and trials began in September 1942 with 1000 guns produced by December. The M5 was first used in action in Italy in October 1943. A few of the guns that made it to Italy were mounted on the M1A1 carriage which featured a flat gun shield, but all others were mounted on the M6 carriage which had a sloped gun shield. The gun was heavy when manhandled but proved to be effective when in position. It saw action on the Italian front and in Northern Europe before being replaced by tank destroyers after the end of World War Two.


Patron comes back and actually throws her ID at me: Here's my ID!
I create a guest pass and hand it to her after explaining how to log in.
Patron walking away towards computers: I'm going to need help printing!
Me: Okay. Just let me know when you're ready to print.
Patron after logging on yells from her computer: I need help the computer isn't working!
Me (walks over): What's the problem?
Patron( types email as an URL): Why isn't it working?!
Me: Miss…your Gmail isn't a website you. You have to go to google to log in.
Patron: My email isn't google! It's gmail!
After arguing with me for a couple of minutes she finally listened. Now, she's trying to log into her email but typed it incorrectly.
Patron: I typed this wrong!
Patron (highlights what she typed and starts clicking around): Its not working!
Me: Hit the backspace button on your keyboard.
Patron (keeps highlighting and clicking around): This is crazy! It's not working!
Me: Hit the backspace button. Right there.
Patron is still clicking around the page: This isn't working! Why isn't this working? I've never had so many problems!
Patron continues to ignore me and repeatedly highlights her screen.
Me: Backspace on the keyboard.
Patron (finally hits backspace): Oh, look I did it. I figured it out!
Me (ready to rip my hair out and thinking): Somebody help me….
Patron: I need to log onto my email!
Me: Okay. Are you logged onto a computer?
Me: Okay, computers are right over there. You need a library card or photo ID to log on.
Patron: I forgot my photo ID but I was here yesterday. You remember me!
Me: No…I need photo ID or a library card.
Patron: You can't just make me one?
Me: No, I need ID.
Patron gets angry and storms out of the room.
So, one day I'm going into work and I find a van with a huge tube coming out of the back leading into the front entrance of the library. My first thoughts were "What the heck is that?!" and "What happened?!" Knowing I would soon find out, I made my way inside.
I had my late lunch, an egg and cheese wrap, half in my mouth when I approach the main desk. My eyes pop out of my head when they discover men in hazmat suits quarantining the bathrooms! My supervisor is standing in the back office observing them. I walk in and ask her what is going on? And is it safe to be in here? She tells me I might not want to being eating for this story. I shrug and tell her to shoot anyway.
A couple hours previous to my arrival it was very busy at our Main Desk. A patron had interrupted the line to ask one of the ladies working to be let into the bathroom. (We had a "buzzing in" system. Buttons that unlock the doors to the bathroom.) She had told him to wait one moment because she was in the middle of something. He gave her an attitude and went towards the bathrooms. When she was done with her task at hand she turned to let him in but the man was gone. However, he left a…"present" on the carpet in front of the men's bathroom. Somehow this man managed to elude the cameras and all the staff after leaving his… droppings.
The exterminators (obviously) had to remove the "hazardous waste" as well as the surrounding carpet. And that is why we now have tile in front of our rest rooms.
We also have to sign in people ourselves and hand them a key. So, shout out to the guy who ruined an easy bathroom policy. Now my hands are dry from using too much hand sanitizer thanks to you!

The mind is an important element in a person, it's an element that enables one to be aware of the world and experiences, to think, and to feel; it's also the faculty (the house) of consciousness and thought, it's in this element that ideas and decisions that shapes our future and the entire world are formed. In regards to these, I think this element should be cherished, developed and given special attention so that it can maximize its potential. Read on, let me share with you my ideal ways of developing this precious element call MIND.
#Fill your mind with the right content.
I feel this is very important when it's about developing the mind. Just like in farming, it's what you sow you will reap. You can't plant a corn and expect to reap cassava, it's not possible, not even sure if it's with agricultural technologies like seed modification. Simply putting it, the content you fill the mind, determines the kind of ideas and decisions it will produce. someone once said "To improve what shows up in the exterior of your world, first, be still and improve the interior" this saying is fact, if you want something better outside improve the source inside. If you want your car to serve you better, you just need take care of the engine.
As it's applicable to machines so is it to human. Someone might ask, what makes a content good? or how do I fill my mind with good content? my opinion on the first is, content are good if they are positive. But the fact is that they are many positive content out there, do I have to consume everything positive I set my hands on?.. not really, pick positive content within your field, skills, talent and passion. Fill your mind with quality and positive content and see in your ideas and decisions how developed your mind will be.
#Open your mind to possibility.
This another tips on how to develop the mind, Opening your mind to possibility. It can be difficult thou, because of the environment we have grown in and the beliefs we have been conditioned. These beliefs or environment has made us develop a kind of attitude towards things, people and and other beliefs outside our own environment. Kind of attitude… like rejecting whatever did not uphold or compliment the things and beliefs we are used to. What this does to us is that, it shout the door of learning, it limit the possibility of knowing what we don't know. And as we might know New knowledge, information or skill are some of the ingredient which the mind uses to form ideas and decisions (past experiences inclusive). So by opening your mind to possibility, you get to understand why something is the way it's, why people behaviour the way they do, and so many other things, which can open your mind to more ideas and help you make sound decisions that will create a better future for you.
#Practice and teach what you know to know more.
Like it's always said, practice makes perfect, not the other way round. You just need to practice with the little you know. As we might already know there are other elements like the MEMORY that makes up the mind, these other elements also needs to be developed. Practicing and teach what you know will open opportunities for you to know more. I have a personal experiences on this, hear my story 'Back in 2013, I had an opportunity to instruct in a computer institution(as a system applications instructor) although I had little knowledge about most of the system applications am suppose to teach my students then, but I took the job. guess what, as I start teaching the little I know, I was able to know more. How..? By the students questions, what I don't know became more clear to me, and that made it easier for me because I then get to know my lapses and with a clear picture of my ignorant I was able to improve and learn the skills and knowledge needed to carry out my duty.

Situations might be different but the act of practicing and teaching what you know to know more can be applicable in all situation.


The process of loading the 163 fuel assemblies into the core of unit 1 of the Leningrad Phase II nuclear power plant in western Russia began on 8 December, state nuclear corporation Rosatom announced. The VVER-1200 unit is scheduled to start up next year.
The loading of the first TVS fuel assembly - produced by Rosatom's nuclear fuel manufacturer TVEL - was witnessed by Rosenergoatom General Director Andrey Petrov, TITAN-2 JSC General Director Grigoriy Naginskiy and Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant Director Vladimir Pereguda.
The process to load all 163 fuel assemblies is expected to be completed by the end of this month. The reactor is scheduled to achieve first criticality in early 2018 and to be commissioned later next year.
Petrov noted that the beginning of operations on the physical start-up of the reactor means that all construction work related to unit 1 has been completed. "All overload systems are now working in automatic mode, full availability to perform these operations is provided in conformity with all safety requirements," he said. "Within 30 days, the reactor facility will be ready to reach the minimum controlled power level. We will conduct all the necessary experiments and launch operations at the reactor facility in accordance with the phased program. The next step is the power start-up, which will begin next year."
The existing Leningrad plant site, in Sosnovy Bor in western Russia, has four operating RMBK-1000 units, while Leningrad II will have four VVER-1200 units.
Pereguda said: "The new power units of Leningrad II provide a solution to the most important task for the entire region, namely the replacement of the existing capacities of the Leningrad plant. The first unit with the RBMK reactor is planned to be stopped as early as next year, in 2018. Therefore, for the Leningrad region, the synchronisation of the processes of commissioning and decommissioning of units is a vital process ensuring energy and economic stability".
Commissioning of Leningrad II-1 will mean that Russia has two VVER-1200 units in operation, following the launch last year, and the start of commercial operation in February, of Novovoronezh II-1.

James Diamantini: 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks, #2
December 26, 2018 October 28, 2019 / cathmary1030
My granddad was the youngest of 3 sons, born to Giuseppe Diamantini and Maria (Bolognesi) Diamantini in Sonoma County, California, on 16 October 1914. My mother — his daughter – always said he was born in Calistoga, which is in Napa County, or in Mark West Springs, which is in Sonoma County. The California Birth Index lists the county as Sonoma; I still (!) need to order the actual certificate, so I guess we'll see.
The U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936 – 2007, database online at Ancestry.com lists Grandpa's birth place as Santa Rosa South, and his name as James Diamantine. He made his application in 1942, and at this time, he and his brothers were Anglicizing their name from Diamantini to Diamantine.
I knew my grandfather's name to be James Eugene, but I do not know the name he was born with. According to the California Birth Index, a first name for my grandfather is not listed on the birth certificate. However, on the 1920 census, his name is given as Trenton (which doesn't sound very Italian to me, nor is it a family name that I know of.)
1920 census, Sonoma County, California (click to zoom in)
My granddad's two older brothers were Gaspare Antonio (aka "Gilbert"), born in 1904, in Italy, and Francis Angelo (known as Frank), born in January 1909, in Healdsburg, Sonoma, California. Although the State of California required registering births as of July 1, 1905, there is no certificate for Frank. My great-grandparents, just recently in the U.S. – they arrived in 1908 – likely did not know "the routine". However, I do have a copy of Frank's Social Security Application, on which he states his date and place of birth.
I have not been able to find the family on the 1930 census (yet), but presumably they were living near Healdsburg, as my grandfather attended Healdsburg High as a member of the Class of 1934.
While in high school, my granddad played football, and also met my grandmother, Elizabeth.
my grandparents
James and Elizabeth married on 22 November 1934, in Healdsburg, and then went to live in Tracy, California, where they worked at the service station owned by James' older brother Gil. My mother was born within two years of their marriage, and life was good, until Elizabeth died in 1940, after giving birth to a stillborn daughter.
my grandparents' marriage certificate
After my grandmother's death, my grandfather came back to the Hayward area, where his parents were living. They fixed him up with an Italian woman his age who lived down the street from them, and the two were married in May 1941. James and Jean ("Nonna") had 6 children in the next 10 years.
Grandpa worked in the shipping yards during World War II, and later worked with his brothers, who owned a lumberyard. He was also a beekeeper, and, in the early 1970s, he and Nonna moved out to Manteca, California, where they had a ranch, and where he cultivated a vineyard.
But Grandpa began to suffer from Parkinson's during the late 1970s, and so he and Jean decided to sell the Manteca property, and move back to Hayward. I only saw my granddad a few times when I was growing up, and didn't go out to California to see my mom's relatives at all for a period from about the age of 10 to the age of 25.
Grandpa's Parkinson's got worse over the years, to where he could barely walk and talk. He died in May 1995, at the age of 80, in Hayward, and is buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Hayward, near his parents and his brothers.

06 Şubat 2019 Çarşamba 19:00 - 10 reads.
OAR (Dagbladet): There was no Norwegian cheers for medaljehåpene in the alpine ski world CHAMPIONSHIPS.
IN the world cup trail in the Vessel coasted Dominik Paris from Italy to gold in the super G. For the Norwegian, it was a disappointing day.
Adrian Smiseth Sejersted was the best Norwegian on a day where both Aksel Lund Image, Kjetil Jansrud and Aleksander Aamodt Source misset in medaljejakten.
Sejersted was finally number 8 - 0.5 seconds behind the winner in Paris. Image, Source, and Jansrud ended up all the way down on the list.
In a long period of time, lay the Image, Jansrud, Beat Feuz and the Source at the very bottom.
I must say me okay happy, " says Sejersted of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet.
What makes that you can handle the conditions the best of the Norwegian?
- I don't know. Aleks (Source) obviously had a little more texas-round, it is enough random that no one gets the full flap. It is a pity. Fortunately, we have still utforen again, " says Sejersted.
Johan Clarey (France) and Vincent Kriechmayr (Austria) shared the silver. Both were in goal nine hundredths behind the winner.
Today's CHAMPIONSHIP course was demanding and the whole nine of the 30 first ran out.
- the Speed is outrageously high. At the top I try to "push", but the rest is I "baksetesjåfør". It is my own fault. I handled it not. It is a grueling trail. Paris is perhaps the best to keep the pace in the trail and he is technically strong, " says Kjetil Jansrud to Dagbladet in pressesonen.
I wish I was a little gentler. It was difficult, it was dark, very challenging considering the terrain and see when it comes. I was perhaps a little too eagerly, and was thrown a little around a lot. It was two-three benefits I was completely out and ride a bike, " says Aleksander Aamodt Source.
- It was a surprisingly tough course, " says Aksel Lund Image.
- I couldn't enjoy it. I realized it when I stood on the start button, and the light was worse. I saw it on TV and noticed it on the løyperapportene and radios. They went a little warm. People drove out, and sent up messages. It was not the calm at the start as it tends to be. There were many who had to change the plan.
After 17 years at the top level, 36 verdenscupseire, two OLYMPIC gold medals, five world CHAMPIONSHIP gold medals and 12 mesterskapsmedaljer did he still not to new the last few minutes before the start. It says something about the kaosnivået it was on the current flows.
- It is much harder race than I had imagined. I thought it would be a completely different experience than it was. It was simply damn difficult, " says the 36-year-old.
the Light was turned off. It went from sunshine to really dark. Then it went to a trail that had high speed and difficult passages, says the Image of the Newspaper.
For the sake. Adrian Sejersted Smiseth was the best Norwegian in a åttendeplass. Aksel Lund Image was number 16. Kjetil Jansrud took a 22. place, while Aleksander Aamodt Source was number 24.
The Norwegian world cup hopes had the early start numbers, where the biggest favorite was last out. So they started Norwegian: Aleksander Aamodt Source (5), Kjetil Jansrud (7), Adrian S. Sejersted (8) and Aksel Lund Image (11).
Dominik Paris from Italy drove early to a good time with 1.24.20 - and there was a time the Norwegian struggled to match.
Source ran into at 1.25.83. He made an early mistake and left off with the horror at a port. Towards the end ended up he also out too far and ruined the attempt. Two rough bom was too costly in the pursuit of a medal.
- Yes, I would say this is a letdown for us, considering that the super-G is "our discipline". We should have delivered better. We try, but don't hit completely.
Kjetil Jansrud hit not one hundred per cent. He opened well, but ended up quickly falling behind at the split times. Jansrud was in goal at the 1.25.38.
Sejersted was behind from the first split time, but finished strongly and crossed the finish line on 1.24.70. He was the best of the first three Norwegian, but it was still never any hope of podium finish.
Veteran Image was the last doe out, but rather he didn't get enough speed to threaten the leader of Paris. Image was in arrears from the start and ended up eventually far behind Paris. 1.25.12 held not to a toppløp. He was 92 hundredths behind Paris.

David Holt to perform at Pocahontas Opera House
/content/uploads/archive/audio/local-wvmr-1019019.mp3
Marlinton, W.Va. –
Banjo player extraordinaire David Holt brings his tradition of country music and storytelling to the Pocahontas Opera House Saturday, Sept 8th. The four time Grammy award winner is a musician, historian, television and radio host, and all round entertainer. He talks about how he got started on this crazy career.
"You know it's pretty simple really," he says, "I just fell in love with the sound of the banjo, the old claw hammer style banjo; this is back in the 1960's. And I met Ralph Stanley at a concert – I was going to college in California and he said well if you want to learn that style you need to go back to Asheville or Roanoke, Mt Airy, some place like that. So I moved and just fell in love with the musicians I've met here, there were literally hundreds and hundreds at that time."
(music – Let it Slide)
Here' is his current home base of Asheville in western North Carolina. Holt says he was fortunate to learn his music from old masters of the genre, many of whom had been born in the late 1800's. And don't forget his long friendship with Doc Watson.
"Actually I played with Doc until he passed away in May, for the last 14 years," says Holt. "That was the highlight of my career really because I had been a fan of Doc Watson since I was 18 and then in this part of my life to be able to sit side by side with him and play on stage for 14 years has been really a wonderful thing. I was always doing my solo concerts, but I think playing with Doc is my favorite. He was such a fabulous musician, and such a great guy. I just learned so much from him about music and about performing and he was like my musical father really."
And just as he learned from the older musicians, Holt says he's doing his part to pass that tradition on to younger musicians, like the young man who'll be joining him at the Opera House Saturday night.
"The person I'm bringing there is Josh Goforth, who's one of our finest young musicians in North Carolina who's 31 and just one of these phenomenally skilled musicians who can play any stringed instrument, sing harmony, and do all of that," he says. "The great thing about Josh is that he was born in Madison County, NC which is where I learned most of my music, so he's related to all the people that I learned from; they're old family members so it's a wonderful kind of completion of the circle."
(Music interlude)
Holt's no slouch himself when it comes to multiple instruments, playing slide guitar, guitar, harmonica, bones, spoons, and jaw harp in addition to the banjo. But there's more to him that just country and old time Appalachian music -he's also the host of Riverwalk Jazz, a weekly public radio program spotlighting classic jazz from 1900-1945.
"How does a country musician get into jazz?"
"Well it happened like this," explains Holt. "Did you ever listen to Prairie Home Companion [radio show]? The producer of that was Garrison's [Keillor] girlfriend, and when they broke up, she started another show, and it was Riverwalk Jazz. She was looking for someone could interview old people, could tell a story and didn't sound like Garrison, and that was me. It's the same era of music that I'm particularly interested in; that is music from early 1900's through World War II."
Holt says the Opera House show will showcase instruments both well known
"Josh and I bring a bunch of instruments," says Holt. "I have my claw hammer banjo, the national steel guitar, the finger picking style guitar I learned directly from Doc Watson. Josh plays fiddle, mandolin, guitar; he's just fabulous at all those.
and others that are a little more obscure.
"In 1992 I had a chance to meet the oldest person in the world; her name was Susie Brunsen and she lived in Wilmington, NC. She showed me how to play the washboard that she had learned when she was a little girl in the 1870's. So you think washboard, what's that going to be? But I mean it is so rocking and kicking, it's just mind boggling how rhythmic it is."
Just one of many sounds you'll hear at the Opera House Saturday, Sept 8th at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased online or at the door.

Q: Finding index of an element in a specified array I'm in the making of a google sheets app script where I want to check if a value from one cell is in an array of values, then find what the index is so I can direct my function to that cell.
I'm at the point where I have my array in a variable called distArray, and I want to check if "id" is in that array.
Here's the code to better visualize:
function logs() {
  let app = SpreadsheetApp
  let dest = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Baza Danych");
  let lastrow = dest.getLastRow();

  let destArr = dest.getRange(2, 1, lastrow).getValues();
  let id = app.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Zgloszenia").getRange(6, 2).getValue();
  let position = destArr.indexOf(id);

  Logger.log(id)
  Logger.log(destArr)
  Logger.log(position)
}

And here is the output I get.
My problem is that no matter what the value of "id" is, the index is either -1 or 0 meaning the value either is not in the array or is in the first cell.

A: Try to add .flat() at the end of the line:
let destArr = dest.getRange(2, 1, lastrow).getValues();

This way:
let destArr = dest.getRange(2, 1, lastrow).getValues().flat();

Explanation:
The method getValues() gives you a 2d array [[1],[2],[3],...].
The flat() method converts a 2d array into an ordinary flat array [1,2,3,...].
After that you will able to use array.indexOf(element) to get an index of the element in the array.

A: Description
Yuri's solution is a good example if you don't want to know which element of the array contains the value your looking for.  But if you need to know which row of the array contains the value the following example shows how to search a 2D array.
Script
function find() {
  try {
    let a = [['a','b'],['c','d'],['e','f'],['g','h']];
    let b = "f";
    let c = a.findIndex( d => d.indexOf(b) >= 0 );
    console.log("c = "+c);
  }
  catch(err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

Q: Using textblob or spacy for correction spelling in french I would like to correct the misspelled words of a text in french, it seems that spacy is the most accurate and faster package to do it, but it's to complex,
I tried with textblob, but I didn't manage to do it with french words.
It works perfectly in english, but when I try to do the same in french I get the same misspelled words:
#english words
from textblob import TextBlob
misspelled=["hapenning", "mornin", "windoow", "jaket"]
[str(TextBlob(word).correct()) for word in misspelled]

#french words
misspelled2=["resaissir", "matinnée", "plonbier", "tecnicien"]
[str(TextBlob(word).correct()) for word in misspelled2]

I get this:
#english:
['happening', 'morning', 'window', 'jacket']

#french:
['resaissir', 'matinnée', 'plonbier', 'tecnicien']

A: textblob supports only English. That's why it returns the French words as they are without any corrections. If you want to use it for French, then you need to install textblob-fr. BUT According to its official repository here, textblob-fr doesn't support spell checking.
Besides spaCy doesn't support spell checking with its language models. There is a workaround out there using spacy_hunspell that wraps hunspell (the spell checker of LibreOffice and Mozilla Firefox), but it doesn't support French either.
So, my recommendation is to use pyspellchecker which supports English, French, German, Spanish and Portugues... It can be installed easily via pip like so:
pip install pyspellchecker

English
Here is how to use it with English:
>>> from spellchecker import SpellChecker
>>>
>>> spell = SpellChecker()
>>> misspelled = ["hapenning", "mornin", "windoow", "jaket"]
>>> misspelled = spell.unknown(misspelled)
>>> for word in misspelled:
...     print(word, spell.correction(word))
jaket jacket
windoow window
mornin morning
hapenning happening

French
Here is how to use it with French... It's exactly the same as English with specifying the langauge=fr:
>>> from spellchecker import SpellChecker
>>>
>>> spell = SpellChecker(language='fr')
>>> misspelled = ["resaissir", "matinnée", "plonbier", "tecnicien"]
>>> misspelled = spell.unknown(misspelled)
>>> for word in misspelled:
...     print(word, spell.correction(word))
plonbier plombier
matinnée matinée
tecnicien technicien
resaissir ressaisir
