Q: Query for number of books and avg length of lending I have a school task and can't figure out how to write the query properly. Here's the task:
We have 3 tables:
User:  id, name, surname, address, credit
Book:  id, title, author, isbn
Lending:  user, book, borrowed_when, returned_when, return_deadline

Create a SQL query which will return the number of books borrowed by
  every user and average length of lending period.

I presume it should be done with a JOIN but not sure how exactly. Any help appreciated.

A: You could try this to get the number of books and average lending period for each user:
select user, count(book), avg(datediff(day, borrowed_when,returned_when))
from @lending
group by user
order by user

This query can then be joined to your User table to get user details, depending on how the 2 tables are linked. I suspect it's User.id = Lending.user, but only you can really tell us that.

Cala Forn is a painting by Joaquim Sunyer currently exhibited at the National Art Museum of Catalonia.

History
After a few years in Paris, where he was influenced by the French Post-Impressionists before adopting a language similar to Cézanne's, Sunyer returned to Catalonia, where he made his name as the leader of Noucentisme, an artistic movement that preached a return to classical models and upheld figurative art in opposition to the avant-garde movements. Cala Forn, one of Sunyer's and Noucentisme's most paradigmatic works, marked the peak of his creative development. With its great expressive power and feeling, the artist achieves perfect integration of the figures in the landscape, not limiting them to reproductions of everyday reality but turning them into symbols of the Catalonia of the time.

These units provide an RS422 PTZ Data Link on any SDI CCTV signal. Use them to add (PTZ) Pan Tilt Zoom control to any existing video camera without running additional wires. The RS422 control signal shares the same coaxial cable path in the reverse direction to control the camera PTZ without interfering with the SDI video image.
The SDI-D units provide an RS422 PTZ Data Link on any HD CCTV signal. Use it to add (PTZ) Pan Tilt Zoom control to any existing video camera without running additional wires. The RS422 control signal shares the coaxial cable path in the reverse direction to control the camera PTZ without interfering with the SDI video image.
The units can also be used in the reverse direction to deliver RS422 data from the camera location back to the monitor location. Applications like cash register data or card access data can ride on the existing SDI video return without the need to pull extra wires. This is particularly useful when cable access is limited or the expense of digging up sidewalks or breaking into walls is prohibitive. You can insert your data anywhere on the cable and recover the data at any other location along the cable path up to 150 meters.
The system is housed in Bone colored ABS enclosures that have a UL flame rating of 94-VO and is powered by 24 Volt AC or DC power transformers, (24 Volt AC transformers are supplied with the units). The current draw is low allowing the units to be connected to the same power supply as the camera. Both the units have LED indicators for easy set-up.

Biography and careerEdit
From 1973-1978 he studied at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. In 1982, he graduated with a Ph.D. Until 1989, he worked as an assistant professor at the Higher Political School of the Central Committee Communist Party of Slovakia in Bratislava, working in party structures at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Košice. In 1989, he became one of the founders of the Democratic Left Party, being a member of the party's executive committee. In 1993, he switched to diplomatic work, being an adviser to the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Kyiv. In 1995 and 1996, he served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Slovakia to Ukraine.
From 1996-2001, he was Chairman of the Democratic Left Party. During this time, he was Chairman Parliament of Slovakia (1998-2002). From 30 October 1998 to 15 June 1999, he was the Acting President of Slovakia, serving after the completion of the presidency of Michal Kováč and the political crisis lasting more than a year. In 2003, he completed an internship in foreign policy and improving English in the United States at the American Language Communication Center. He was engaged in entrepreneurial activity in the 2000s before going back to the diplomatic sphere in 2009 to become the Ambassador of Slovakia in Russia, a position he served in until 2014. On 2 February 2016, he was appointed to the post of ambassador to Belarus.[3][4]
Victory Day and dismissalEdit
Main article: 2020 Minsk Victory Day Parade
One of the attendees of the 2020 Minsk Victory Day Parade was Migaš, being one of the few foreign ambassadors in attendance.[5] On 13 May 2020, he resigned as ambassador after attending the celebrations as he was one of the two European Union ambassadors (the other being the Hungarian ambassador) who did not inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of their home countries. The Slovak foreign ministry in fact learned about his participation from the local press. He made his explanation one of principled stance, simply stating that he is the "son of a partisan and anti-fascist".[6] In a meeting with Serbian ambassador Veljko Kovacevic on 28 May, President Alexander Lukashenko criticized the Slovak government on the move, saying that "frankly speaking, I do not fully understand the position of the official Slovak leadership which allegedly criticized his action".[7] A day after those comments were made the Slovak Foreign Ministry summoned the Belarusian ambassador, saying that Lukashenko's comments on the Slovak position were "disengaged from the truth".[8] Migaš would later be awarded the Order of Francysk Skaryna by President Lukashenko.[9][10][11]
Personal lifeEdit
He speaks several foreign languages outside the Slovak language: English, Russian, Ukrainian. He owns 35 hectares of land in his home town. Upon leaving Belarus for the final time as ambassador, he took a German shepherd dog which was gifted to him by the Border Guard Service of Belarus.[12]

As future emergentologists, we sign up for a life of continuous learning. Even after residency, we will be constantly reading published journal articles to update our knowledge, learning new techniques, procedures, and technologies in the ED, and relearning topics that comprise the core of emergency medicine. One particular learning platform, the podcast, stands out because of its flexibility and endless ocean of topics that it covers. You can listen to a podcast while doing almost anything: driving, exercising, cooking, doing chores, running errands, hiking, rock climbing, skydiving, anything. After all, we are adrenaline junkies with short attention spans! The flexibility of the podcast learning format is matched by the vast array of subjects. There are audio shows covering everything from science to sports, from politics to comedy (frequently both together), and from fiction to pop culture.
This article offers a curated set of audio compilations specifically for the budding emergency physician. Go through this list, download a player app (I love and use "Podcast Addict"), and take a listen to them. Let me know about your favorite podcasts by emailing me at smurali.emra@gmail.com or tweeting @smuramed!
No. 1 on this list and should be the No. 1 addition to your podcast app. EM Basic is geared for medical students and residents in training. As made obvious by the name, it focuses on the basics of emergency medicine, but it doesn't stop there. Dr. Carroll has addressed everything from simple topics, such as the undifferentiated chest pain, abdominal pain, febrile infant, and altered mental status, to more complex discussions about psychiatric emergencies, tactical combat casualty care, and opioids. He even has an episode on how to give a superb ED patient presentation to your attending.
This podcast can also be extremely helpful for non-EM students. In fact, I recommend this podcast to all my Internal and Family Medicine buddies who enjoy audio learning.
In partnership with the Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine, these two experienced educators give their advice on how to navigate medical school as an EM-bound student. From dominating your core third-year clerkships and acing your ER rotations to performing well in interviews and creating your match list, these two gurus teach us how to maximize our chances of matching in EM. They also frequently feature students who recently underwent the process on the podcast to give us the most up-to-date scoop on how to succeed. In one of my favorite new additions to their podcast, the "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up Series," they interview physicians from diverse pathways in EM. Best of all, the dynamic duo of Dr. Lewis and Dr. Wieters uses plenty of humor to keep you engaged.
This podcast combines the best of both worlds of the first two podcasts on the list. Dr. Olson covers both ED diagnoses as well as navigating the waters of medical school. The medicine-related episodes are considerably shorter than those of EM Basic and can serve as quick reviews about a patient's condition. They are perfect to listen to while your patient is in the CT scanner or waiting to be admitted to the hospital (obviously, only if you have some downtime). Also, I highly recommend that you visit the "Purpose" page on Dr. Olson's website (emclerkship.com/) to learn why he started this podcast. His passion for emergency medicine and student education really shines in his episodes. He recently started a new series called "EM Bolus," which features longer episodes dedicated to exploring the real world of EM and future careers.
This podcast is only a small part of a much larger project. The Core EM project is dedicated to providing "core content for anyone, anywhere, and just in time." Dr. Swaminathan and Dr. Beck-Esmay discuss diagnoses that make up the bread and butter of EM. They recently hit 2 years of podcasts and released their 100th episode with plans to continue the awesome work they have done so far. However, the podcasts are just the tip of the iceberg; at coreem.net you can find hundreds of articles, a few procedure videos, and a blog.
This one is meant for those interested in critical care and covers higher-level topics in EM and CC. This was the first EM podcast that I ever listened to, and it had me hooked immediately. Dr. Weingart speaks about anything and everything he deals with on a daily basis. His podcast grew quickly into the giant it is today, and he has more than 200 official episodes, (in addition to hundreds of mini episodes), and he hosts an annual EMCrit Conference in the New York area. This podcast does cover some complex subjects.
The "Rational Evidence Based Evaluation of Literature in Emergency Medicine" podcast (R.E.B.E.L. Cast) takes a topic relevant to EM or CC and evaluates the supporting literature to distill out a few simple take-home points. Dr. Rezaie addresses complex subjects but simplifies them into something you can take back to the ED and use in treating your patients. He also has a series of posts called "Resuscitation Sequence Intubation" that is a must-read for all students interested in EM or CC.
This podcast is a supplement to the Annals of Emergency Medicine journal you receive each month as one of your EMRA membership benefits. Dr. Radecki and Dr. Spiegel do a great job of summarizing the most important articles of the monthly issue of the Annals of Emergency Medicine. They also add their own commentary about the articles, sometimes remarking about the validity of the study, their own experience in the ED, or future directions for research. Dr. Radecki has his own podcast called EM Literature of Note and Dr. Spiegel writes fantastic articles for the EMCrit blog under the pseudonym of "EMNerd" (https://emcrit.org/category/emnerd/).
Dr. Stanton covers an enormous range of EM-related topics, not restricted to the science behind medicine. His episodes address health care policy, various career paths, and issues common to all EM physicians across the country. Those interested in leadership and advocacy should definitely check this one out.
As students, we are taught to challenge everything and assess the validity of the things we learn. That is what Dr. Milne's podcast is all about. Every week, he takes a potentially practice-changing article and deconstructs it using a set of questions. These interrogations are meant to validate or call into question the legitimacy of the study. My favorite part of his podcast is the Keener Contest at the end of each episode. Listen to the BatDoc's podcasts to win a "cool skeptical prize."
As EMRA members, medical students get access to this amazing podcast for free. Every month, EM:RAP releases a compilation of mini episodes about a variety of topics. With dozens of regular guest speakers, they review hundreds of new publications and expose the different viewpoints of emergency medicine. I love this podcast because of the humor and wit that the production team adds.
There are many additional incredible medical podcasts (The Resus Room, ED ECMO Podcast, ALiEM Podcast, Surgery 101, etc.). I am always looking for interesting non-medicine podcasts as well. Leave a comment below, email me at smurali.emra@gmail.com, or tweet @smuramed to let me know which ones you listen to!
Stay up to date with the latest and greatest in #FOAM with EMRA's collection of blogs and podcasts.


I always thought that this applied to all links, until I came across this answer. The answer in question was posted by a user with 1 reputation and had, before I edited it, 3 links: 2 to screenshots on imgur and one to a Stack Overflow question.
I didn't get any error message for this code. I also tried to replace stackoverflow.com with superuser.com and meta.stackexchange.com and it still worked. But when I tried to replace it with something that's not Stack Exchange, for example example.com, I got the error message "You need at least 10 reputation to post more than 2 links". I also tried to replace it with a Stack Exchange site that doesn't exist, for example oiqewjr.stackexchange.com, and I got the error message.
So it seems like new users aren't allowed to post more than 2 links to non-Stack Exchange sites but they're allowed to post as many links as they want to Stack Exchange sites. But I can't find anything in the help center that says so.
So what links count for the 2 link limit for new users? Only links to Stack Exchange sites? Why is this? And can the help center be made more clear about this?
Until mid-2010, all links counted toward the limit. This is indeed to prevent spam. Since intra-SE links aren't going to be of much use to spammers (as mentioned by Journeyman Geek in the comments), there was an MSE feature request to exempt them from the accounting. It was approved, implemented (cf. status-completed), and is now in effect.

Laura Marano and Noah Centineo go way back!
ET Live's Cassie DiLaura and Jason Carter caught up with Marano earlier this week and she gushed about reuniting with Centineo, seven years after he guest starred on her Disney Channel show, Austin and Ally, for Netflix's The Perfect Date.
"He's just, like, the loveliest guy. He has been since he's been 15," she said of the 22-year-old To All the Boys I've Loved Before star. "... We've been there for each other since the beginning. It was so sweet, when we were working on The Perfect Date he kept saying to people... 'Laura's show's the reason I moved to L.A.' But he was definitely making it seem like it was because of my power and I will assure you, I have, like, no power. But I was like, 'Aw, Noah.'"
"He's so lovely," she added. "And he really hasn't changed his loveliness and nice personality since he was 15."
In addition to "his loveliness," Centineo also hasn't changed his hilariously bad on-screen dance skills, which were tested in both Austin and Ally and The Perfect Date.
"It was so much fun," Marano, 23, said of reuniting with Centineo. "... One of the things we did on Austin and Ally was awkwardly dance together, which, not planned at all and very coincidental, we do in The Perfect Date. So, it was really fun kind of making that come alive again."
Ahead of the release of The Perfect Date -- which follows Centineo as a high schooler who creates an app where he offers up his services as a perfect fake date -- Centineo and Marano have been on a press tour, which has featured no shortage of fun moments, one of which happened when they were asked about what a real-life perfect date would be for them.
"We got asked that question and I had my answer -- ... it involved a barista at a book cafe, don't worry about it -- and then later in the day we were, like, testing each other and each other's knowledge of what our perfect date would be of the other person and Noah's like, 'Well, I think Laura's perfect date would be a barista with a book cafe,'" Marano recalled. "And I was like, 'Noah! You just heard me say that like literally a few hours ago. You can't play off, like, you just knew exactly what to say.' But it was pretty amazing."
Marano said, in actuality, her real-life perfect date would be something low-key and on the beach.
"I think any date with a person with love in their heart is a perfect date," she quipped with a wink to camera. "... I'm a chill girl. I love chill, to be honest. So anything that's not super intense, but probably also involves the beach is definitely my perfect date. I'm a beach girl as well."
Marano, who warned fans off of making "different assumptions" based on the Perfect Date trailer, also has two songs featured in the film, following the release of her EP, Me, which dropped back in March.
"I have actually, like, two songs in The Perfect Date, which is, like, pretty cool," she said. "... So, I'm really excited to kind of, like, just be making more music and more videos and visual content for it."
As for returning to her roots as Ally Dawson, Marano said she's "always down" for a revival.
"I've always been down. It was, like, the best cast and the best group of people," she revealed. "... I have no power in the situation, [but] I'm super into it for sure."
The Perfect Date hits Netflix on April 12. Here's more on the flick.

The driving principle of the East Meadow Jewish Center is our dedication to education. Beginning at the Ilene M. Rubin Nursery School through our Hebrew school and Hebrew High school to adult education programs, we consider learning to be lifelong journey.
Our award-winning Religious School has been cited several times as a school of excellence. We utilize a traditional classroom setting, art projects, field trips and music appreciation. Students who have special needs or a learning disability are given one-on-one instruction.
Students in nursery school learn the "alef bet" and about Shabbat and the holidays, and make arts and crafts projects such as Kiddush cups, seder plates and sukkah decorations. Kindergarten through fifth-grade students attend classes two days per week. Sixth- and seventh-graders attend three days, and the Hebrew high school (eighth grade through eleventh grade) meets one day per week.
From the beginning, students are taught how to read and write Hebrew, the significance and history of the holidays, culture and learn about the modern state of Israel and Judaism both in the United States and internationally. Further, we work with students on community service projects and other social issues (i.e. bullying, tolerance, personal responsibility) that may be addressed in other aspects of their lives. Hebrew High School students enjoy a seminar-style of learning where they are given the chance to debate and further delve into issues that are relevant to Judaism.

The Skeleton Twins
Roadside Attractions // R // September 12, 2014
Review by Jamie S. Rich | posted September 11, 2014 | E-mail the Author
The Skeleton Twins is the tale of two siblings who inherited a morbid sense of humor from their father, only to have that same dark outlook make things difficult in later life.
Former SNL castmates Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader, who previously played a married couple onscreen in Adventureland, star as Maggie and Milo. After ten years apart, the two are reunited when Milo, following a bad breakup and other general life disappointments, attempts suicide. Maggie brings him back home to the upstate New York burg where they grew up, hoping it will help him get his head straight. The visit only proves to dig up past hurts and shine a light on just what screwed-up adults the kids turned out to be. Milo hunts down an old lover (Ty Burrell, Modern Family), and Maggie's dude-bro hubby Lance (Luke Wilson, Idiocracy) suddenly looks different when seen through Milo's eyes.
Directed by Craig Johnson (True Adolescents) and co-written by Mark Heyman (Black Swan), The Skeleton Twins is at times emotionally raw and other times overly slick. In a lot of ways, it reeks of indie flicks of yore, the kind of movie that is tailor-made for the Sundance Film Festival. There are some pretty predictable plays here. The penultimate scene is both obvious and too easily resolved. A middle-film brother-and-sister lip synch to Starship is corny and out of place. In fact, the music overall has problems. The score by Nathan Larson (God's Pocket) is cloying and precious, getting in the way of the emotions more than enhancing them.
Yet, for every one bum scene, there are two or three more that really work, making The Skeleton Twins an otherwise successful drama about depression and loneliness. For some reason, Tamara Jenkins' The Savages kept coming to mind, another film about a brother and sister facing remarkably difficult circumstances. Hader and Wiig have made a bold choice for their first major dramatic turn. Their performances as Milo and Maggie allow them to subtly tweak their own comic personas, playing the same basic types that made them famous but more or less showing what they'd be like on their worst days. Hader is particularly brittle as Milo, using dark humor to cover up the deepest hurts. Credit to the writers, actually, for fine-tuning his jokes to be the right amount of obnoxious and unfunny to be funny in their own way. With each zinger, Milo is lashing out, both at everyone around him and at himself. Both performers do much with very little, reining in their broader instincts and editing themselves in ways they generally don't have to when playing for laughs.* Using two actors who know each other as well as this pair proves smart, as the rapport between them hints at the deep history required for the story.
One of my favorite bits about the movie, actually, is not what Milo and Maggie do, per se, but how they react to Maggie's husband and how he fits in their world. Despite his active lifestyle, Lance could otherwise assimilate into their dynamic. Luke Wilson delivers a killer performance as the stable doofus, trying hard to joke with his wife and brother-in-law. The irony is how little they get each other, despite how they both enjoy the grotesque. Listen to the bit where Lance is comparing arguing with Maggie to stepping on a landmine and how much he elaborates about what happens to his testicles in the explosion. How is Milo not laughing his own nuts off over that?
For the most part, what is truly refreshing about The Skeleton Twins is how it deals with and portrays depression and suicide. Johnson and Heyman attack the subject head on, never shying away from the more uncomfortable aspects of the condition, nor trying to explain it away or simplify it. There is little judgment passed, even between the characters. Maggie and Milo are chronically sad. For them it's hereditary, even if their mother (Joanna Gleason) is doing her best to deny it. This is a family that runs away, in all aspects of life, and The Skeleton Twins is ultimately about what it takes to get over certain hurdles and avoid running away one last time.
* Speaking of editing, in interest of full disclosure, I should note that I am friends with Jennifer Lee, the film's editor and one of its producers, back from her days when she was a different kind of editor in the comic book industry.

Bumbasee, the first solo project by LA-based producer Alex Tirheimer, is reactionary to the rules that music is supposed to follow.
After a series of late-night sessions with no intention other than to create, a sound began to emerge. A refreshing but also unrefined vibe that felt aggressive but with an endearing smirk. This music seeks to break traditional rules of songwriting and challenge genre, expectations, and a bit of common sense.
It is the release of pent up creativity and the animalistic id that is inside all of us, (although sometimes the id just wants a burrito). Taking from this ethos, Bumbasee is a musically rebellious voice demanding we never stop challenging the status quo. Dexterously weaving influences from hip-hop and electronica innovators, Tirheimer invites you to open your ears to the raw, gritty sound and open your eyes to what's hidden beyond the matrix of prescribed songwriting.
And to explain the name, Bumbasee is a fake word for Parmesan cheese, invented as a strange joke by the Tirheimer family to demonstrate the power of misinformation, and to show that nobody checks to see if the parents are crazy before letting them take a baby home.
Two brand new tracks will be coming out this winter on Taste and Tone. The first, "Kanye, Skrillex and Bob Dylan" is an homage to leaders and revolutionaries in their craft, but also three names you'd never expect to see next to each other. Bumbasee loved the level of absurdity of mashing them up, like an oddly awesome designer human. A remix will follow shortly by Young & Sick. The second, "Tooth and Nail" shows Alex expanding on the alter-ego of aggressive animalistic songwriting and production. In it, he plays with intimidation and is exploring something outside of himself.

What can you do to protect your personal data? What is Whois Privacy Protection?
Domain Privacy Protection
When you register a domain name, you are required to supply an authentic address, email account and phone as per the policies approved by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. This information, though, is not kept only by the registrar company, but is available to the public on WHOIS websites as well, so anybody can check your information and many people may not be delighted with this. Consequently, lots of registrars have introduced the so-called Whois Privacy Protection service, which conceals the registrant's info and upon a WHOIS check, people will see the details of the registrar company, not the domain owner's. This service is also known as Whois Privacy Protection or Privacy Protection, but all these names refer to one and the same service. At the moment, most of the top-level domain names around the world allow Whois Privacy Protection to be added, but there are still country-code extensions that do not support this option.
Whois Privacy Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you order a cloud hosting package from us, you'll be able to activate Whois Privacy Protection for any of your domain names on the condition that their extensions support the service. You can register/transfer a domain and add Whois Privacy Protection upon registration or you can enable the service for any of your domains at any moment later through the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is exceptionally easy – after you sign in, you will have to visit the Registered Domains section where you'll see a list of all the domains that you've registered through us. For each one of them you'll notice an "Whois Privacy Protection" button, which will inform you whether the service is activated or not. By clicking it, you can either Whois Privacy Protect the domain name, or you can disable the service if it is currently activated.
Whois Privacy Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you decide to order a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you will be able to add Whois Privacy Protection to any of your domain names by following several simple steps. If you order a registration or a transfer during the signup process, you can get the service along with the domain name. In case you skip this step and you think things over at a later point in time, you can activate the Whois Privacy Protection service from the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you can manage the whole semi-dedicated server account. This is also the place where you can activate Whois Privacy Protection for all other domain names that you register through us after signup. Renewing or removing the Whois Privacy Protection service is just as simple and will require only a couple of mouse clicks.

Increased workforce stability and development improving 'inadequate' service
Doncaster social workers and managers report feeling "safer" in the children's trust

Caseloads are reducing and employees feel safer in Doncaster children's trust, an Ofsted monitoring inspection has said.
In its second monitoring visit since Doncaster children's trust, which runs the area's children's services on behalf of the council, was rated 'inadequate' last year, Ofsted found increased workforce stability and development were helping the service to improve.
"The council and the trust have made significant progress in improving the quality of work since the single inspection in 2015," the report said. "Clear, recent improvements in the quality of management oversight of casework have been supported by the successful recruitment of permanent team managers."
Management oversight
The report added that the trust "knows itself well", with effective performance and quality assurance measures in place. The voice of child was clear in the vast majority of cases, Ofsted added.
"All staff and managers who spoke with inspectors were positive about working for the trust in Doncaster and about the support, challenge and professional development that they receive. They described feeling that Doncaster is now a much safer place for children and for employees of the trust," Ofsted said.
Stop the clock sessions
Ofsted also found that training for staff is targeted to address areas of concern.
"There are regular 'stop the clock' sessions, when practice advisers provide training on aspects of practice arising from quality audits or from social workers identifying shortfalls in their knowledge or experience," the report said.
However, when it came to updating all assessments every six months some of the trust's own "high standards" were not quite being met.
"Very detailed recording is evident, but insufficient focus is placed on the child's experience, with limited consideration of wider family members," the report said.
In addition, work undertaken in public law outline proceedings "is not of sufficient quality or effectively reviewed to ensure decisions that are made to enter proceedings or exit from the PLO process are consistent and timely".
Appeal court orders judge's unfair criticism of social worker to be erased
Ofsted: Unqualified staff in 'inadequate' service unclear about what is expected of them

Between Blue Waters, A History of Violence by Socorro Chablé tells the tragic story of Reyna Ramírez, who started working in maquilas in Puebla, Mexico when she was just 13. Working for years in the unhealthily maquila environment eventually took a toll on her body and she developed throat, respiratory problems, headaches and muscle aches.
The clinic at the maquila where Reyna was working and Mexico's government medical service for workers never warned her that her symptoms could be caused by her work. It was a private doctor who eventually told Reyna that her problems were work related and that she should leave the maquila before it killed her. Her voice has never recovered and nor has her health, despite years away from the maquila.
Now Reyna heads the Collective of Defiant Women Workers, a Puebla NGO which helps women maquila workers, with a particular focus on health issues. The group is collaborating with the Hesperian Foundation and using several of their publications on workplace health to develop training courses for maquila workers.


Backpacking in the Jotunheim National Park, Norway, 1997 - Day 7: By boat and foot to Langedalen.
Previous: Day 6: Sun and Rest. Index Next: Day 8: Torfinns egga and Kvitskartind.
Day 7: By boat and foot to Langedalen.
Having climbed the two highest peaks in this part of the Park I decided to move on to get some variety and chose the area between Gjende and Bygdin - including the familiar-sounding Langedalen valley.
As I walked down from my campsite to the mountain lodge at Memurubu I passed a lot of people on their way up towards Surtningssua - far more than I had seen on the summit a couple of days previously. Since the weather was much the same I could only conclude that most of those who set out don't make it to the top!
From Memurubu I boarded a boat for a 10km trip along Gjende to Gjendebu, and from there walked up Vesleådalen and Oksedalen. North East facing Oskedalstjernet was surprisingly icy, and the snow-covered path alongside it seemed rather precarious, but I survived and made camp a little later near the warmer Galdebergtjerna.
Disembarking at Gjendebu, Mesmogtind and Svartdalspiggane behind.
Total for the day:15km, 700m.

New 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Sneak Peek Clip Debuts During the MTV Movie & TV Awards
Published on May 7th, 2017 | Updated on May 7th, 2017 | By FanFest
Viewers of the 2017 MTV Movie and TV Awards were in for a special treat when brand new footage from Spider-Man: Homecoming premiered on Sunday. Film stars Tom Holland and Zendaya were on hand to introduce the new clip during the award show.
The new footage shows Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, sneaking back into his Queens, NY home, using his powers to be as quiet as possible, crawling along the ceiling to avoid making noise. He, apparently, hasn't quite gotten the hang of using his Spidey senses yet though, as he's surprised by his friend Ned, played by Jacob Batalon, who was waiting for him in his room.
Peter Parker begs Ned to keep his secret just that, a secret but Ned is clearly ridiculously excited by the fact that this friend is THE Spider-Man. Can he hang on to a secret this big??
The clip also gives us a look at Zendaya's role who questions Peter when he has to abruptly leave what looks like a study group. "What are you hiding, Peter?" she asks. "I'm just kidding. I don't care."
The upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming film contains a star-studded cast including Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Donald Glover, Tyne Daly, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr., in addition to Holland and Zendaya. The film is directed and co-written by Jon Watts, who is new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Check out the awesome sneak peek clip below from MTV's twitter account. Spider-Man: Homecoming will be swinging into theaters on July 7th!

No matter the season, the greater Mount Washington Valley region is surrounded by picturesque landscapes as far as the eye can see, The image above is from a drive through Crawford Notch along Route 302, west of Attitash Ski Resort and Attitash Mountain Village Hotel and Suites. If you look close enough, you may just be surprised to see the quiet giant of the North Woods looking back … the often sought after, often elusive moose.
A road that leads to the top of New England. Experience the splendor and majestic beauty of the mountains as you travel through multiple climate zones reaching Mount Washington's 6,288 foot summit. This awe-inspiring trip will leave you speechless with memories sure to last a lifetime.
The Kancamagus Highway is a 34.5 mile scenic drive along NH's Rt. 112 in Northern New Hampshire that is well known as one of the best Fall Foliage viewing areas in the country. The Kancamagus Highway is now designated an American Scenic Byway for its rich history, aesthetic beauty and culture. The Kancamagus Scenic Byway takes you through a path cut through the White Mountain National Forest with breathtaking views of the White Mountains, the Swift River, Sabbaday Falls, Lower Falls and Rocky Gorge. The Kanc takes you to an elevation of just under 3,000 feet at its highest point at Kancamagus Pass on the flank of Mt. Kancamagus.
The mountain pass Pinkham Notch is named after Daniel Pinkham who explored this area in the 1700s on a sled pulled by a pig. Carved by glaciers, erosion and rivers, Pinkham Notch separates the Presidential, Wildcat and Carter-Moriah Ranges, creating a stunning landscape. Marvel at picture-perfect snow-dusted peaks and expansive views.
Crawford Notch is the steep and narrow gorge originally cut by the Saco River in New Hampshire's White Mountains. The gorge is bisected by U.S. Highway 302 and the Saco, offering majestic cliff-side views rising from the banks of the Saco River. While entering the last leg and steepest ascent of the Notch, travelers are welcomed by the towering granite cliffs of Mount Willard.
