Q: When is the posterior distribution equal to the prior? So I have heard that if the prior distribution is in the subexponential class, applying Bayes rule does not change the belief. I have been trying to find an example of this but I am unable to do so. I was wondering if somebody around here has an example. This seems similar to the martingale property but I can't quite make the link...

A: For a given realisation, $x_0$, of $X\sim f(x|\theta)$, it is possible that $f(x_0|\theta)$ is a constant function of $\theta$ in which case the posterior is equal to the prior for this observation. However, if the posterior is almost surely equal to the prior, in the sense of almost every realisation of $X$, this implies that the density of $X$ does not depend on $\theta$.
I would welcome the reference to the subexponential distributions as there is no mathematical reason for a heavy or very heavy tail distribution to fail to update the prior. For instance, here is the comparison of prior (dashes) and posterior (full) when the prior is a Laplace (double-exponential) distribution and the likelihood is a Cauchy with observation 3.14:

The prior has clearly moved when becoming the posterior and the tail behaviour changed. A likelihood flatter than the Cauchy like a $t$ distribution with $10^{-1}$ or $10^{-2}$ degrees of freedom would exhibit the same pattern, albeit keeping the same mode for prior and posterior (as mentioned in my book).

Women in STEM: Celebrating Influential Figures on this International Holiday
Communities around the world celebrate February 11th as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. With the goal of highlighting women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), this holiday also serves as a candid reminder that gender stereotypes still exist.
Fortunately, many strong and influential researchers in STEM fields have shattered glass ceilings by making revolutionary discoveries and achieving some of the highest honors.
Here's everything you need to know about women and girls in science!
Influential Women in STEM
Although women throughout history have driven scientific progress, it wasn't until the 20th century that they regularly found their way into STEM fields. Since then, countless other brave professionals have made significant leaps in science and technology.
Certainly an influential figure and role model, Mae Jemison has worked to help others and promote innovation for most of her life. After receiving a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell in 1981, Jemison served in the Peace Corps as a Medical Officer.
In 1987, Jemison took on a new challenge when she applied to NASA's astronaut program. After years of hard work and preparation, she became the first African-
American woman to go to space on a mission in 1992.
Carol Greider
As a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in 1984, Carol Greider worked under Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn at the University of California – Berkeley. Together, these two women in STEM discovered telomerase, a revolutionary genetic enzyme.
In 2009, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn and now-Dr. Carol Greider would share the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery more than two decades prior.
Faiza Mohammed al-Kharafi
Faiza Mohammed al-Kharafi is a Kuwaiti chemist who champions education. In 1993, al-Karafi would be named president of Kuwait University to head up to reconstruction in the aftermath of the First Gulf War. Her appointment made her the first female president of any Middle Eastern university.
In addition to her impressive academic career, al-Kharafi also works for causes like sustainability, innovation, and women in STEM. Her passion and hard work have earned her spots on the boards of organizations like the Kuwait Foundation of the Advancement of Science and the Kuwait-MIT Center for Natural Resources and the Environment.
Katherine Jin
During the height of the Ebola crisis in 2014, Katherine Jin attended Columbia University. When she learned more about the virus, she realized she couldn't really do much from her virology classroom.
Video courtesy of the United Nations
While still in school, Jin and a few of her colleagues developed a product called Highlight — a colored disinfectant powder to help professionals adequately clean surfaces. During their senior year, a grant of more than $500,000 enabled them to finish Highlight and go to West Africa to put it in action.
Jane Luu
In the wake of the Vietnam War, Jane Luu and her family moved to Southern California. After high school, she attended Stanford University and eventually MIT, where she received her Ph.D. in Planetary Astronomy.
Luu's crowning achievement came in 1992 when she worked with her mentor, David Jewitt, to discover the Kuiper Belt. As a result of this discovery, Luu was awarded the Shaw Prize and the Kavli Prize — two of the most prestigious awards in astrophysics.
Homeschooled in upstate New York, Alison Miller excelled at math from a young age. Eventually, her skill and hard work won her a spot on the U.S. team at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2004. In that competition, Miller won the gold medal and became the first American woman ever to do so.
Since then, Miller has continued in the pursuit of her passion: mathematics. After attending Harvard as an undergraduate, she studied at Cambridge University for a year and then earned her Ph.D. from Princeton.
The Future of Women in STEM
Since the dawn of time, men and women have been making scientific progress. However, women's contributions have only been truly recognized in the last 100 years. Over the last century, many women in STEM have seen success, but they've had to fight sexism to do so.
"To rise to the challenges of the 21st century, we need to harness our full potential. That requires dismantling gender stereotypes." António Guterres, UN Secretary-General
The world faces many scientific challenges, not the least of which is climate change. We should be able to focus wholly on the issue without being distracted by antiquated racist, sexist, and other prejudiced biases.

Bryan Bulaga Will Supposedly Be Ready For Season Opener
Joseph Bonham July 26, 2018
Everyone assumed right tackle Bryan Bulaga and his balky knees would be sidelined when the regular season started. There has also been conjecture that he might be released.
It appears neither will be the case.
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he believes Bulaga will be available to start the season. That would suggest he will also be available at some point during training camp. The Packers aren't going to throw him out there week 1 with no practice time.
"You obviously had a similar injury before and (we're) very much in tune with the time frame there," McCarthy said. "But he looks great. I think Bryan has been here the whole summer except for maybe one day, two days. I know that he was in here every day that I was in here."
Bulaga, who started training camp on the physically unable to perform list, took it one step further.
#Packers RT Bryan Bulaga said he thought he was ready to practice today, but the medical staff wants to wait until the 9-month mark in his rehab from a torn ACL. That date is Aug. 6.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) July 26, 2018
That, simply, is crazy. However, we've been hearing all offseason how hard Bulaga has been working in his rehab. It appears he really wants to remain a member of the Green Bay Packers.
It now appears the Packers will have their full offensive line intact for the season opener, although right guard is still technically up for grabs. Justin McCray is the favorite there, but perhaps he'll get some competition from Kyle Murphy in light of this development.

Five Stories President Trump Doesn't Want You to Miss
From The White House on Friday November 13th, 2020
Feds Strike Deal to Make COVID-19 Vaccine Free at Major Pharmacies
-New York Post
"COVID-19 vaccinations will eventually be available free at neighborhood pharmacy chains—just as flu shots are now—thanks to an agreement announced by federal health officials on Thursday," Laura Italiano reports. "Optimism for an effective vaccine rose this week after news that the shot being developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is more than 90 percent effective."
LIVE at 4 p.m. ET: President Trump gives update on Operation Warp Speed
Trump's Economy Really Was Better Than Obama's
"In 2016, real median household income was $62,898, just $257 above its level in 1999. Over the next three years it grew almost $6,000, to $68,703. That's perhaps why, despite the pandemic, 56% of U.S. voters polled last month said their families were better off today than they were four years ago," Karl Smith writes.
Vice President Pence: Veterans Day Is a Time to Thank and Appreciate Heroes Who Have Preserved Our Liberty
-Fox News
"Every veteran of the armed forces of the United States is a hero to the American people," Vice President Mike Pence writes. "As a father of a Marine Corps captain and a father-in-law of a Navy lieutenant who's currently deployed, I couldn't be more proud to be vice president to a president who cares so deeply about the men and women of our armed forces and every veteran in America."

Businesses Trying to Rebound After Unrest Face a Challenge: Not Enough Insurance
-The New York Times
"It's a prominent refrain these days from activists in the aftermath of arson and looting—businesses have insurance. Buildings can be repaired. Broken glass is a small price to pay in a movement for justice," Nellie Bowles writes. But for many small businesses and entrepreneurs, "there is no easy way to replace all that they lost."
Trump Bars Americans From Investing in Firms That Help China's Military
-The Wall Street Journal
"American Capital should not be used to finance the construction of Chinese Communist weapons literally aimed at killing Americans and driving the US military out of Asia," White House Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro says. "This strong action by President Trump puts a stop to that Wall Street insanity."

Trump Signs Executive Order to Lower Drug Prices in Fight Against Big Pharma
The White House – September 14, 2020
"President Trump signed an executive order Sunday to lower the cost of prescription drugs," Peter Aitken reports for Fox News.
"My Most Favored Nation order will ensure that our Country gets the same low price Big Pharma gives to other countries. The days of global freeriding at America's expense are over," President Trump wrote on Twitter.

President Trump is visiting California today, "where he will be briefed on the devastating wildfires that have spread across the state," Zachary Halaschak reports. "The president continues to support those who are battling raging wildfires in a locally executed, state-managed, and federally supported emergency response," White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere said. Read more in the Washington Examiner.
"No one other than the shooter is responsible for the gunfire ambush Saturday of two Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies as they sat in their patrol car. But the same can't be said for the protesters who blocked the entrance to the hospital where the two are being treated, and chanted 'we hope they die,'" The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.
Nineteen years after Jason Thomas helped rescue two Port Authority police officers from the wreckage of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, "President Donald Trump singled out his heroism during a speech to mark 'American courage and sacrifice' in a Pennsylvania field where one of the four hijacked planes crashed after its crew and passengers charged the cockpit," Sabrina Eaton writes for Cleveland.com.

President Trump signs executive order to bring drug manufacturing back home
The White House – August 6, 2020
Visiting Ohio today, President Trump just signed an executive order to expand "Made in America" production, bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, and ensure that our citizens have access to the life-saving medicines they need.
These actions come at a crucial time "as we fight this battle against the invisible enemy from China," White House Director of Trade & Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro says.
Here are a few things the new order will accomplish:
Establish "Buy American" rules for Federal Government agencies
Strip away regulatory barriers to domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing
Help spark the manufacturing technologies needed to keep drug prices low and move more medicine production onshore
President Trump signed the order today while visiting a Whirlpool manufacturing plant in Clyde, Ohio. This plant represents another important piece of President Trump's pro-America, pro-worker trade strategy toward China and other countries.
In January 2018, the United States challenged years of unfair trade practices by imposing tariffs that stopped washing machine manufacturers, including Whirlpool, from getting undercut by Chinese imports. After President Trump took action, Whirlpool's Clyde plant alone was able to create 200 new jobs for U.S. workers.
"Washington stood idly by as other countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as massive subsidies, currency manipulation, and . . . the wholesale dumping of foreign-made products sold below cost for the sole purpose of driving you out of business" so they could later jack up prices, President Trump told workers today.
🎬 President Trump: "But we didn't let that happen, did we?"
Today's executive order directs the Department of Health and Human Services to use the Defense Production Act to buy essential medicines and other equipment from within the United States. Drug prices will be kept low for customers, and American companies will be able to compete more fairly on the world stage as a result.
In addition, the FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency will now give priority to domestic manufacturers during the regulatory review of pharmaceutical ingredients and essential medicines. Federal agencies will also help prevent the trafficking of counterfeit medicines from third-party sellers online.
"It's a great day for America," Navarro said." The President has promised that he would bring home the supply chains in production for our essential medicines, and today we're taking a very big step towards fulfillment of that promise."
🎬 Peter Navarro: It's important to bring our supply chains home
President Trump has long made returning blue-collar jobs to America a top priority. Now, the Coronavirus pandemic has made even clearer the risks of becoming reliant on foreign nations for our essential supplies. Fortunately, more than any other president in history, President Trump is a fearless advocate for both buying and hiring American.
As a result, his list of trade accomplishments keeps growing. NAFTA is gone, replaced by a far stronger United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. China and its enablers on the global stage are at last being held accountable. Trade agreements with South Korea, Japan, and others have been renegotiated to protect American jobs and customers.
"Globalization has made the financial elites who donate to politicians very wealthy, but it's left millions and millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache—and our towns and cities with empty factories and plants," President Trump said.
"We've made extraordinary progress in reversing the dangerous tide of globalism."

England - League Two


I wasn't one of those people who decided that one thing would be good for me. I did/tried everything. I thought for sure it would help me down the road as I could adapt and jump into any field with a myriad of experience. I often say, I am a jack of all trades and master of many. Its a great slogan but it doesn't seem to be working. Why, you might ask? It seems like the companies out there are still under the impression that stability is better than diversity.
Im tempted to throw my hands in the air, walk away from it all and just wander the streets. It gets to frustrating to deal with. Who knew that being good at so many things would be a detriment. Man I am so glad I got my Masters degree, what a great investment.
PS. Sorry that I am not as positive upbeat as normally, but I am highly discouraged. Have a great day!

The 16-year-old, a student at London's Jewish Community Secondary School, was stabbed 12 times in the legs by a group of men. Police said the teen did not know his assailants.
The teenager was walking with a group of girlfriends in Regent's Park on Primrose Hill when he was attacked just before 9:15 p.m. Police and paramedics rushed to the scene.
He was taken to the hospital, where he is in serious but stable condition and will likely need surgery. Scotland Yard said the suspects are four white males. No arrests have been made.
Regent's Park overlooks the British capital and is surrounded by some of London's most expensive properties, including some owned by celebrities.

What you need to do to protect yourself after the WhatsApp hack
AppsInternet
By Stephen Fenech	 On May 15, 2019
Anyone who uses WhatsApp – what we thought was secure and encrypted – needs to update the app immediately or risk having of spyware installed on their phone.
The WhatsApp messaging platform, owned by Facebook and used by more than 1.5 billion people worldwide, is well known for its end to end encryption but a serious vulnerability has been identified that would allow hackers to infect your iOS or Android device.
This malware could listen to your WhatsApp conversations and read all your messages.
It was revealed the malware could be installed on a device via a WhatsApp voice call that the recipient doesn't even have to answer.
And the alarming thing is that often there was no sign of the call in your call log.
The malware is believed to be the work of Israeli spy firm NSO Group and developed to target activists.
The Financial Times says the exploitation "has all the hallmarks of a private company known to work with governments to deliver spyware".
The NSO Group has since released a statement denying any involvement in targeting victims.
But what was missing from that statement was a denial about creating the hack in the first place.
It is not known yet whether users have been affected but there have been reports of a human rights lawyer in the UK and Amnesty International researcher being identified as targets.
So what do we do now?
Facebook has patched the vulnerability and issued an update yesterday.
Users of the iOS and Android app are advised to run the latest software update.
You can also delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store or the Google Play Store.
We have learned some users who chose to delete and reinstall the app on their Android devices have been experiencing delays receiving the download, obviously as a result the number of people trying to reinstall it at the same time.

I found my passion for writing later than most. I'd like to say I was writing stories as soon as I could string three words together, but really it all started after I had children.
Having children inspired me to write romance? I know, doesn't make sense.
I'm a proud member of Romance Writers of America, Washington Romance Writers, Contemporary Romance Writers, FF&P where I have met some amazing, supportive and inspiring authors who have become my tribe.
I have since written two award-winning manuscripts. Mulligan is a light, humorous contemporary romance and A Child of Eden is a dark, paranormal romance.
My latest manuscript, A Fast Woman, is the beginning of a series, Driven Women, centered around strong women in male-dominated industries trying to balance love with their challenges and dreams.
So, as I'm tooling around town in mom-mode, I think about how to mess with my fictional people, so I can be sane for those who live with me.
Seems reasonable and so much fun!

Flood-ravaged Abbotsford watching Nooksack River from U.S. 'like a hawk' as heavy rains near
The Nooksack River, in Washington State, is seen overflowing its banks in a photograph from Whatcom County, Wash.'s government on Nov. 20, 2021. (Whatcom County Government/Twitter - image credit)
The mayor of Abbotsford, B.C. says he is confident the city's rebuilt dikes and sandbagged pump station can handle a barrage of heavy rains in the forecast until Sunday afternoon — but not if the Nooksack River from Washington State overflows.
Abbotsford issued an evacuation alert for the city's Huntingdon Village, urging residents to prepare essential items in case they are ordered to leave on short notice this weekend.
Mayor Henry Braun told reporters Saturday afternoon the flood-ravaged city is watching the U.S.-Canada waterway "like a hawk," because it is a difficult-to-predict wildcard without knowing how saturated the surrounding soil is.
He spoke Saturday morning to officials in Whatcom County, Wash., which saw the U.S. National Guard deployed this weekend.
'The rain we can handle ... We can't handle if the Nooksack overflows'
If the river does breach its banks, Braun said the already-saturated Fraser Valley farmland could potentially see worsened flooding.
"We have done everything we can in a very short period of time," he said Saturday. "Now the unknown factor is how much water is going to come [from] south of the border."
"The rain we can handle — I'm pretty confident of that — but we can't handle if the Nooksack overflows and starts emptying again into Sumas Prairie."
Waters are expected to enter into the west side of the Sumas Prairie near Huntingdon Village on Sunday, according to the city.
Braun cautioned that stopping the Nooksack River's flow is unrealistic because it would require a "dike that is 18 feet high" on the border. Instead, he said, sandbagging to protect buildings is the priority.
"Quite frankly, we don't know what's going to happen," he said. "But we're going to watch that Nooksack like a hawk."
'Nooksack River will come over with less resistance,' fears U.S. mayor
South of the Canada-U.S. border, Whatcom County is predicting the Nooksack River will reach a "moderate flood stage" on Sunday.
The mayor of Sumas, Wash., Kyle Christensen, told CBC News the floods his town experienced two weeks ago from the atmospheric river event broke three dikes, and one remains "still not fixed" despite constant work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"With all this water — and it's building up — once the Nooksack River goes over tomorrow, which is what we're predicting, then it's going to be a lot more water for us deal with," Christensen said in an interview.
"The concern is that the Nooksack River will come over with less resistance because of the damage from the flood from last week."
Whatcom County, which includes Sumas, issued a statement Saturday warning residents about the risks posed by coming rains.
"Damage to levee systems from previous storms may result in greater impacts to the floodplain areas than typical at these river levels," the county said in a statement. "There is much uncertainty as a result of last week's floods."
As a precaution, the county added, U.S. National Guard troops are being deployed "to assist local agencies" by sandbagging, delivering supplies and supporting the communities of Sumas, Everson and Nooksack.
"People are tired," mayor Christensen told CBC News. "You know, this has been going on a long time and here we're going to get hit by a second wave."
'Heavy downpours can cause flash floods'
According to CBC meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe, the current forecast models show much uncertainty, but suggest an increasing potential for more flooding events by Tuesday.
"Rainfall totals, unfortunately, will be extreme," Wagstaffe said. "This definitely has the potential to see impact both with additional overland flooding and new landslides."
Federal meteorologists issued a rainfall warning for the Fraser Valley and south coast Saturday, with Environment and Climate Change Canada noting "heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads."
Through Sunday afternoon, weather forecasts predict 70 millimetres of rain over southern sections of the Fraser Valley on Saturday, but up to 120 millimetres closer to the mountains.
Rains should ease up on Sunday, but effects on river levels could be seen several days later.
The City of Abbotsford posts its most recent flood, evacuation, and other emergency information on its website.
Provincial flood warnings and advisories are available from B.C.'s River Forecast Centre.
For information on evacuation alerts and orders issued by various authorities across the province, visit Emergency Management B.C.'s Twitter feed or website, which also offers updates and supports available for evacuees.

On White (seven fragments after Edmund de Waal)
by Martin Suckling
On White
(seven fragments after Edmund de Waal)
What is the sound of white?
Edmund de Waal, the ceramic artist whose eloquent porcelain installations are inextricably bound up with this colour, asks the question early in The White Road, but offers no answer.
I am no synaesthete; I am no more able to respond than de Waal. In any case, the question is, strictly speaking, nonsensical. But it is an intriguing proposition. If we could hear the colour of milk and snow and clouds and sunlight, what music would it make?
Over strong coffee on a grey London morning in early January, Edmund asks me to do just that.
In fact, he asks me to do somewhat more: to write a piece of music that triangulates white, the poetry of Paul Celan and, by implication, de Waal's own creative practice. Beyond these requirements, I am given free rein: musicians from the Aurora Orchestra will perform; the premiere will be part of de Waal's White exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts and then subsequently at King's Place during an evening devoted to Celan's poems. There is to be no conductor. I am excited.
iii – White (1)
I'm not the first, of course. I am following in des pas sur la neige of a great many others before me – Debussy, Abrahamsen and his Schnee, Schubert's Winterreise (my first real musical obsession, I lived with Fischer-Dieskau and Jörg Demus for months) – not to mention the prosaic but far-from-irrelevant notions of white noise and white notes.
I need to find my own space, away from these literal whites and hibernal whites.
I suggest white light refracted, scattered in a prism, echoed in a thousand different colours. I sketch a rough triangle with a quartet at each apex and a harp in the centre. I talk – somewhat over-enthusiastically – about the spectra hidden within every instrumental note, about the beauty of microtones, about revealing unheard parts of sound, of imagined melodies and the secret inner life of tones. I'm not sure I make sense, but Edmund seems happy.
I take B as my 'white' pitch, set up my prism, and listen to the echoes.
iv – Celan
White for Celan is the snow of his mother's death, executed in a Nazi concentration camp. How can I respond to this; what right have I, a privileged Millennial, to offer musical gloss on a horror that is beyond my comprehension? So again I must approach white indirectly, as silence: the white space that dominates the pages of Celan's later poetry; the empty responsory of his hymn of praise to an absent god, Psalm.
Niemand knetet uns wieder aus Erde und Lohm,
niemand bespricht unserm Staub.
Niemand.
Celan's psalm aligns with the prism I have made: David was a harpist; my orbital ensembles are antiphonal choirs; the reference to a potter is pleasingly apt. This psalm offered to No-one, with no possibility of response, suggests to me a musical situation in which harp and ensembles exist in different worlds and the harp 'cannot hear' the echoes she generates.
I wonder about singing, about the wonderful heterophony of Gaelic psalmody and about the 'crimson word', the sole sung element in Celan's Psalm, which appears only as a recollection. The memory of a song.
v – White (2)
In Asian cultures white is the colour of mourning. Is Celan's psalm to a god that has died or a god that never was? Death of an idea is still a kind of death; we may be released into a new way of thinking, but the memory of what has been lost is not easily erased.
Morton Feldman talked about his attitude to being a composer as 'like mourning […] something that has to do with, say, Schubert leaving me.' I have always found this comment deeply affecting – perhaps it's my love of Schubert; perhaps it's the idea that making something new involves departure, and also memory.
So: my harp strikes thick, resonant bells, tolling white. There is no singing.
vi – de Waal
De Waal describes his craft with characteristic humility: 'The gamble of making fragile objects out of porcelain and placing them near each other and inscribing a name in the air over the whole enterprise.' It's a type of magic, the way his titles bind these collections of individual objects together, invite you in to a particular space for contemplation. His installations aren't pushy, they don't demand to be read in a particular way, or even 'read' at all, but they make certain connections possible, they generate a field of potentiality.
And they have rhythm, these sequences of vessels: they breathe.
I want to write music like this. It isn't my usual way: I tend to trade in narratives and arcs and directed motion. I tend to write the whole thing at once; one note follows another, and it has to be this way, no other way; it's all about getting somewhere and I have a very clear idea of the shape of the journey in advance. De Waal's cargoes offer another, more meditative approach. I wake each day and write a 'vessel': a harp plea and an ensemble response. I will collect them and then arrange them in space, let them resonate, let them breathe.
vii – White (3)
Whether to do with my temperament or with the essential temporality of music, my grand plan to be the composer-potter calmly arranging fragile objects does not succeed. No matter: white is also hope; white is a space to start again.
My harp calls out to a deity she cannot hope to hear; but yet she calls. She is David and also Orpheus and the world she conjures is gleaming shining microtones and spectra and white light scattered and reflected and in the end there is song, or the memory of song.

George Clooney Reveals He Will Not Tie The Knot With The Royal Family
801 May 20, 2019 | by Armstrong Odoh
The birth of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is still being celebrated globally. Meghan and Prince Harry's bundle of joy arrived on May 6. It is indeed a joyous occasion for the entire royal family, though supporters are already looking forward to another big event: the revealing of Archie's godparents.
Since Meghan Markle is a former Hollywood actor with so many known A-list friends, many people are speculating on which famous celebrity could be chosen as a godparent for Archie. George Clooney is a huge favorite (the star even shares the same birthday as Baby Sussex), but he recently stated that we should take him out of the running. So why is Clooney most likely not going to be Archie's godfather? Read on to find out.
What an incredibly special surprise the grassroots led #globalsussexbabyshower was last Sunday! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are immensely grateful for the outpouring of love and support in anticipation of the birth of their first child. In lieu of sending gifts, the couple have long planned to encourage members of the public to make donations to select charities for children and parents in need. If you already made a donation, the couple send you their greatest thanks. If you are thinking about it, they ask that you kindly consider the following organisations they've selected, which we will highlight here over the next few days: @thelunchboxfund @littlevillagehq @wellchild @baby2baby The Duke and Duchess remain appreciative for your warm wishes and kindness during this especially happy time in their lives! Thank you for sharing the love ❤
A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on Apr 5, 2019 at 8:17am PDT
GEORGE CLOONEY AND MEGHAN MARKLE ARE GOOD FRIENDS
George being Archie's godfather was an excellent idea for many supporters since he and Meghan are understood to be close friends. According to some sources, it was Prince Harry who introduced Markle to Clooney and his wife, Amal. The two couples have remained on friendly terms ever since.
In fact, when Meghan Markle moved to London, Amal helped the Duchess out by introducing her to Amal's stylist. Furthermore, Amal was even present during Markle's baby shower. The two couples' relationship became more aware to the public when George stood up for Meghan against negative press some months ago.
'It seemed a little unjust, she hasn't done anything except live her life - she's a really kind, intelligent woman.'
George Clooney has told @GMB Meghan and Harry are a 'fun couple' and says Meghan's treatment has been 'a little unfair'.

So it is no surprise that bookmakers are taking bets on the George being named godparents to the royal baby. Unfortunately, the Oscar-winning star, who shares the same birthday as baby Archie, has explained why he will not be a godfather,
"I think it's a little unfair," he said. "I've seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing, and it seemed… to be a little unjust since she hadn't done anything except just happen to live her life. She's a really kind and smart and intelligent young woman, and they're a really wonderful, loving couple."
CLOONEY SAYS HE IS EXTREMELY BUSY TO BE A GODFATHER
Although George is close enough to Meghan and Prince Harry to be a godfather to their son, he recently explained that he has too much on his hands already. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, George said, "That would be a bad idea. I shouldn't be the godfather. I'm a father of twins; I can barely do that."
When quizzed if he would change his mind should Meghan and Harry approach him with the proposal, Clooney responded:
"I'm not going to be the godfather. I promise you that."
He also emphasized further that he "should not be anyone's godfather." Clooney revealed that he had even been asked many times by random strangers to be the godfather to their kids. Apart from that, he had received numerous requests to be strangers' best man as well.
WHO WILL BE ARCHIE HARRISON'S GODPARENTS?
It is too early to tell for sure who will be chosen as the actual godparents of Baby Sussex. However, fans have no shortage of personalities who they believe could be great choices. The first thing to note is that royal family members typically do not pick siblings to be the godparents of their kids, so Prince William and Kate Middleton are out of the running.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor This afternoon Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle.

Nevertheless, other relatives can be chosen, so for Meghan and Prince Harry, some options might include cousins Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. Many royal fans believe that Princess Diana's family will be connected somehow, so Harry might also choose at least one person on his maternal side of the family.
Meghan Markle also has other famous friends such as Serena Williams, Jessica Mulroney, and Priyanka Chopra, who could make excellent godmothers.
The godparents will be declared at the baby's christening, which should take place in a few months.
CLOONEY GRUMBLED ABOUT SHARING HIS BIRTHDAY WITH ARCHIE HARRISON
George Clooney has quipped that he found it "a little irritating" that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son was born on his birthday
The Catch-22 actor has teased that he already has some problems with baby Archie Harrison as he stole his "thunder" by choosing to make his long-awaited arrival on Monday, 6 May – the same day he became 58 years old. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Clooney said with a laugh:
"It was a little irritating [that he was born on his birthday] because that kid really is stealing my thunder! This was my day! I was sharing it already with Orson Welles and Sigmund Freud!"
Despite his displeasure of having to share his birthday with Baby Sussex, the Gravity star – who was invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in Windsor last May – is "very happy" that his close buddies have become parents. He said: "I'm very happy. They are a lovely couple, so it is very exciting."

And, although George Clooney and his wife Amal have 23-month-old twins Ella and Alexander together, the silver fox does not feel in a position to give parenting tips as he believes his age means people often sigh at his advice. He said: "I don't give advice. I'm 58. At 58 you just go, 'Ugggh.' I just walk with a walker everywhere I go."
Clooney celebrated his special day by honoring his wife's role in helping to free 2 Reuters journalists, who had been imprisoned in Myanmar after over 500 days, for reporting on a massacre of Rohingya civilians.
"It was pretty great. We celebrated my wife's work at my birthday dinner. She has been working to get the Reuters journalists freed in Myanmar for a year, and they walked out last night. That is the best birthday gift. I couldn't be more proud of my wife and for Reuters. They stuck up for journalism. It is important," he said.
George's latest project is the Hulu limited-series adaptation of the classic Joseph Heller anti-war book. The actor wore many hats on the production—he directed two episodes, executive produced the show, and co-stars in it as Lieutenant Scheisskopf. And though George Clooney may joke about being "old," it seems obvious that he shows no indication of slowing down when it comes to his career.
When quizzed about what he wants his legacy to be, Clooney gave a reply that had nothing to do with his job. "I want to be remembered for my dance moves," he said—joking again, we assume.

The fascinated couple beamed with pride as they posed for photographs in the grounds of Windsor Castle with Baby Sussex and recalled their first few days as parents.
Markle, 37, said: "It is pretty amazing and I have the two best guys in the world, so I'm really happy. He has the sweetest temperament; he is really calm. He's just been a dream; it's been a special couple of days."
Prince Harry, 34, added: "Parenting is amazing, it has only been two-and-half days, three days, but we are just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy and share some precious times with him as he slowly starts to grow up."
How Prince George's Was Called Archie Long Before Meghan Markle Delivered Her Baby
It's not known when next the public will see Archie Harrison, but the most likely date will be the baby's christening, which is expected to take place in the next 2 or 3 months. Archie's godparents will be known then, but for now, supporters can only guess.
Today The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to share their first public moment as a family. They are so incredibly grateful for the warm wishes and support they've received from everyone around the world, since welcoming their son two days ago. Photo cred: Chris Allerton ©SussexRoyal

Alaska intrigues me. It is one of the places on my bucket list. I'm intrigued by the rugged, naturalness of the state, it's remoteness and the idea of it as this country's last frontier. How much more rugged and unspoiled would it have been at the dawn of the twentieth century when prospectors were racing there for the promise of gold? Ashley Sweeney's novel, Eliza Waite, captures that air of rough and tumble and the possibility of reinvention in the frontier town of Skagway, Alaska.
Eliza Waite is a widow who lives alone on a remote island in the San Juan Islands of Washington. From a well-off Midwestern family, she was married off to a stranger who took her west to Cypress Island where he was a minister. When an epidemic decimated the population of the island, carrying off both Eliza's beloved young son and her husband, she stays in their home to be close to her boy's final resting place even though she is all alone and life is hard and dangerous. When Eliza injures herself, she manages to make it to the mainland where she is nursed back to health. She thinks she might just be coming alive again out of the well of deep grief she's been existing in but when things go awry, she flees to Skagway, Alaska with the intention of opening a bakery in the booming gateway to the Klondike. In Skagway, Eliza has the chance to reinvent herself, to take charge of her own destiny. She opens herself up to the diverse people around her and works on building a life among these unusual but wonderful new friends.
Eliza is a strong and appealing character. The courage it takes to hop a ship with the flood of prospectors having no guarantee that the fifty dollars in her pocket will buy her a new life is astounding. She has endured hardship, tragedy, and deception and yet she never loses her determination to survive. Sweeney draws the evolution of Eliza's character very well and she's captured the gritty verisimilitude of a a gold rush town beautifully. Eliza's past, her unhappy childhood and less than ideal marriage, weaves through the narrative, helping the reader to understand better who she is. The second part of the book, once she reaches Alaska is far more compelling than the story of her sad and lonely existence on Cypress Island, perhaps because that is where her character feels true and empowered. She's actually forging a life instead of treading water. As she is a wonderful baker, there are recipes sprinkled throughout the book, directly in the text and they feel historically accurate. Although the beginning is too drawn out, the writing is good and the setting is intriguing so fans of historical fiction will certainly enjoy this unusual tale of a smart, capable, and undaunted woman.
Thanks to the publicist for sending me a copy of the book for review.
I've been to Skagway! And I read a book set in Alaska this week too. Not out until 2018 though.


You can learn a lot from everyday things if you're paying attention. Over the weekend I learned a little bit about myself… all because of a potted planted.
You see, the plant had been in the sun and hadn't been watered. It was dry, wilted, and beat up by the wind. I was worried that we might have killed it.
I gave it a couple cups of water and hoped for the best. Later in the day when I returned to check on it. I was surprised at what I found… a plant that looked nothing like the one I left.
It was vibrant and full of life! In fact, I think it looked the better than it ever had. That plant had been restored by some water and afternoon shade.
I started to compare myself to that plant. There are times when I get run down (both physically and mentally). Times where I'm sure I start to look a little rough.
Listening to Christian music. It's very up-lifting. Positive with a message of hope.
Writing. I'm happy when I'm writing and it helps me process and think.
Family dinners. When my wife, kids, and I share a meal around the table it reminds me of everything that's good and important in my life.

Tax cut promise lifts consumer confidence
Scott Morrison's month of flagging middle and lower income tax cuts has helped buck a pre-budget trend of a fall in consumer confidence, an analyst says.
The latest ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Index has risen 0.3 per cent, to a 13-week high of 119.6, in contrast to the typical slide in confidence ahead of the budget.
"The reality is confidence has been rising steadily over the past four weeks alongside budget leaks, so in a way the good news is already baked in the numbers," ANZ's head of Australian economics David Plank said on Tuesday.
Over the past month, Mr Morrison has indicated lower and middle income taxpayers could be in for income tax cuts, while the July 2019 increase in the Medicare levy for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), could also be scrapped following a lift in government revenue.
Since 2013, in the week leading up to the release of the federal budget ANZ's average weekly confidence is 112.0 and then usually dips by 1.2 per cent on average in the week immediately following.
"Its pretty hard for a budget to boost confidence," Mr Plank said.
Currently on the ANZ index, confidence sits well above the previous averages, helped by a labour market, that Mr Morrison said has added 1,000 new jobs every week this year as well as accommodative monetary policy and firming expectations of tax cuts.
Mr Plank said given the steady rise to the more than three month peak in consumer confidence, if the index does decline next week, it is unlikely to be due to the budget.

BART Strike: Bay Area Roads Fill With Commuters
#BARTstrike2 BART San Francisco Bay Ferry strike by Bay City News | October 18, 2013 8:38 am | in News | 0
The Bay Area's roads and ferries are filling this morning with commuters trying to get around the region after BART workers went on strike starting today.
BART is running limited round-trip bus service from nine East Bay stations, but tickets for the buses were already sold out by 7 a.m. at the Walnut Creek and West Oakland stations, agency spokeswoman Luna Salaver said.
See all Appeal coverage Of BART's second strike of 2013 here
Salaver did not immediately have information about whether buses were still taking passengers at the other seven stations—El Cerrito del Norte, Concord, Lafayette, Dublin/Pleasanton, San Leandro, Hayward and Fremont.
She said only people with the round-trip tickets will be able to board the afternoon commute buses from Howard Street between Beale and Fremont streets in San Francisco.
Meanwhile, drivers woke up earlier than usual to travel by car this morning, with traffic filling up the westbound highways toward San Francisco.
Westbound state Highway 24 was backed up all the way to the Caldecott Tunnel, while westbound Interstate Highway 80 was backed up to about San Pablo Dam Road, California Highway Patrol Officer James Evans said.
Northbound Interstate Highway 880 was backed up to state Highway 238, while the San Mateo-Hayward and Dumbarton bridges also had heavier traffic than usual, Evans said.
San Francisco Bay Ferry service began running earlier than normal this morning with a 5 a.m. boat from Vallejo to San Francisco and one at 5:30 a.m. from Oakland to the city, ferry spokesman Ernest Sanchez said.
Sanchez said the ferries are seeing an increase of passengers but "it's not as great as it was during the height of the July strike," when BART's unions previously held a work stoppage earlier this year.
"It's heavier than normal but nothing extraordinary," he said.
Sanchez anticipated more crowds for the afternoon commute when people who took casual carpools into San Francisco this morning may take ferries back.
"We have good carrying capacity," he said. "We'll be fine."

MIA Member Rocksteady recently worked with international rock group the Foo Fighters to deliver rock band sessions to children in music venues across England. See our story about 'Rocksteady: Just PLAY' here.
The band has now shared their video about the day, which is a great watch!
THESE KIDS ROCK!!! 🤘Keep playing! Shoutout to Rocksteady Music School and everyone who helped put this day together!
On Saturday 16 February over 1,000 children of all abilities took up the opportunity to be a rock star and play in a band with others in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Northampton, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Guildford, Kingston and Romford.
The Rocksteady Just Play: Foo Fighters event gave children aged between 5 and 16 the opportunity to learn to play one of the band's greatest hits as part of a full band. Rocksteady created arrangements of Foo Fighters songs at varying levels of difficulty so the event was accessible to children already learning an instrument as well as those who had never played before.
Children that took part also had the chance to win drumsticks signed by Dave Grohl and other exclusive merchandise including limited edition t-shirts.

Saint Genet, Actor and Martyr () is a book by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre about the writer Jean Genet, especially on his The Thief's Journal. It was first published in 1952. Sartre described it as an attempt "to prove that genius is not a gift but the way out that one invents in desperate cases." Sartre also based his character Goetz in his play The Devil and the Good Lord (1951) on his analysis of Genet's psychology and morality. Sartre has been credited by David M. Halperin with providing, "a brilliant, subtle, and thoroughgoing study of the unique subjectivity and gender positioning of gay men".

This band includes some of the most in demand and exciting talent in the music industry providing breath-taking renditions of the great pop, funk and soul hits from the 60s right through to the current top 40. The band captivates audiences with their exceptional talent and exhilarating shows.
Members of the group have performed at famous venues like the Shepherds Bush Empire, Wembley Arena and the O2, and also on the renowned sultry stages of London's gig circuit including venues such as the Jazz Café, Ronnie Scott's, and the 100 Club. But the band are always ready to pop on their bow ties or glitzy dresses to perform at 5 star venues many of which they are already familiar with, such as The Ritz, The Dorchester, and London Marriott Hotel.
The members have performed at a bewildering variety of functions, in prestigious locations globally. Their versatility is evident through the number of events they have headlined for cruise ships, birthdays, weddings, leavers' balls, bar mitzvahs, casinos, and corporate events proving they can blend seamlessly into any occasion. This weight of experience is married with impressive educational backgrounds with conservatories such as the Royal Academy of Music, Tech Music School, and London College of Music. There really is no musical challenge too big or too obscure for them.
Many members of the band are classically trained, jazz enthusiasts who love nothing more than an impromptu jam. Each member of the band has their own passion and being experts in their field they have succeeded in playing with some of the greats like The Wailers, Sly & Robbie, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, and The Osmonds to name but a few. Several group members have been sought out by record labels for recording contracts, and have been able to support acts such as Girls Aloud, The Saturdays, The Jonas Brothers, and Eliza Doolittle. Other members have played for West End shows including Jesus Christ Superstar, Beauty and The Beast, and Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. The band is also availalble in a smaller line up.
With hundreds of shows under their belts, this band is a master of its craft and can ensure special occasions are nights to remember. The group's charismatic stage presence coupled with being the most professional musicians in the industry can make dream events become realities. Whatever your vision is, be it a 10 piece band with full horn section, a romantic acoustic duo, or a smoky jazz trio, this band is the answer.
Wedding Thank you for an incredibly fun evening! The band made our evening reception a night to remember!
Wedding "The band made our wedding night that extra bit special - they had everyone dancing all night long. Highly recommended."
Party "Excellent musicians, the songs sound exactly like the originals. Really friendly and fun bunch too! We'll have them back again."
Wedding "This big band added so much life to my evening reception. Best decision I made booking them!"


Zaful is no new brand to heartshapedbones, I love the quality of their pieces and when I reviewed them in the summer time I found they provided unique pieces which I couldn't find any where else! I love brands who are fashion forward and offer pieces which you don't find on the high street, it gives you the chance to be individual with your personal style. When Zaful contacted me to style one of their pieces I decided to go for something a little different, opting for casual fashion which I love to wear in the chillier months. Yes everyone needs a coat, but they also need that easily wearable dress to just throw on in the cold mornings to get them out of the house!
Comfortable fashion sums up everything about the Tee shirt striped dress with floral lace trimmings* it's feminine, a little something extra with the lace detailing but being completely in fashion with the stripes! I love my stripes. I think it's perfect for all seasons but this Autumn/winter I'm dressing it with black (of course) adding on the extra layers which takes this from a summer piece to winter. You could throw this one on with tights and ballet school and it'll look effortless, or to spice things up some boots, accessories and a nice coat! Keeping with my black theme I decided to go chunky and throw on a giant fur coat, allowing the dress to peak out from underneath! I love how a floppy hat can make a look more...witchy? So I think it's a perfect accessory for winter, along with chokers. I also picked this string choker from Zaful!
Don't get me wrong I do love to dress up, but sometimes you just need a tee shirt dress because they are comfy as hell! Have you shopped at Zaful before? Definitely check them out for the latest trends and unique fashion!
Love the trim detail on the dress!
me too! I think it's what attracted me to it most!
I AM A GOTHIC SEAWEED QUEEN!

Home What's New LOOKING FOR THE GOOD WAR
LOOKING FOR THE GOOD WAR
Samet investigates a vital question: "Has the prevailing memory of the 'Good War,' shaped…by nostalgia, sentimentality, and jingoism, done more harm than good?"
The author, a professor of English at West Point, engages in a simultaneously deep and wide exploration of the way the meaning and memory of World War II have shaped American identity, its sense of standing in the world, and narratives of other wars: Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, "and, retrospectively, the Civil War." Drawing on a vast number of sources, including histories; firsthand accounts in letters, memoirs, and reportage; fiction; movies (produced during and after the war); comic books; and the Army's guidebooks for soldiers, Samet smoothly distills the myths Americans have told themselves to justify the epithet of the "Good War" for a noble battle to liberate the world from fascism. That self-righteous myth, Samet asserts, "appeals to our national vanity, confirms the New World's superiority to the Old, and validates modernity and the machine." The experience of the war was marked by disillusion and confusion in the battlefield and on the homefront. The author underscores the ambivalence that pervaded the nation. Even as reports circulated about Nazi atrocities, most Americans were indifferent. The Pacific war, writes Samet, was "complicated by bitter racism" against the Japanese, while postwar novels and films "exhibit [the] confusion, discontent, and disaffection" felt by many returning soldiers. Furthermore, violence became not just associated with battle, but "an end in and of itself." For example, "in the absence of a foreign enemy against whom to deploy their violence, comic books moved in the direction of brutality and horror." Violence remains a lasting legacy of the war, leading Americans "repeatedly to imagine that the use of force can accomplish miraculous political ends even when we have the examples of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan to tell us otherwise." Not just timely, Samet's work is incisively argued and revelatory in its criticism.
A cogent analysis of the cultural realities of war.

Friday the 13th: The Game •
Friday the 13th's content update plans meet a grisly end
Dominic Tarason
22nd June 2018 / 10:03PM
That Jason Voorhees fellow is a rather intimidating chap, I'll give you that much, but you know what's scarier? Lawyers. By all accounts, Friday the 13th: The Game was surprisingly fun when played with the right group, with room to grow as the developers released more maps, content and features. They'd been doing well up til' now, even adding bots to play against late last year, but a legal dispute over who owns the original film rights has left developers IllFonic unable to continue, and today they admitted that they've moved on to new projects entirely.
The most ridiculous thing about this whole legal mess is that it really has nothing to do with the game or its developers directly. It's fallout from a long-running legal battle between the original film's producer and writer to reclaim the rights to the film franchise. Unfortunately, this leaves the game in an awkward limbo, with the developers unsure of whether the license that they purchased is even worth the paper that they signed for it, and if the license did change hands, there's every chance they'd be forced to abandon work or pull it from sale.
A games studio is an expensive thing to run, however, and you can't just sit idly by for months, unsure whether the fog will be burnt away by the light of day, or an unstoppable killer will lurch out of it. While there were plans for some significant content updates to the game including a new map, new DLC skin packs and more murder-animations for Jason, publisher Gun Media say that there's just no reasonable way to go back to that, even if the lawsuit does eventually blow over in their favour.
Friday the 13th: The Game is available on Steam, and half price during the sale, mercilessly slashing it down to £15/$20, with the single player challenges trailered above and released in May being the last major addition.

The weather enterprise in the U.S. is a diverse community of government agencies, the private sector, academic institutions, and nongovernmental societies with a common interest to foster resilience to weather events from the national level to the smallest village. The effectiveness of the enterprise is affected by its members' ability to listen to the needs of the users of weather products and services and speak up to ensure those needs are met.
On Thursday, Congressional staff members packed into the House Science Committee Hearing Room with representatives from NOAA, scientific societies, private companies, universities and other interested parties to discuss the state of the weather enterprise. The agenda centered on the proposed creation of the first U.S. Commission on Weather Policy.
The briefing, sponsored by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and the Weather Coalition, was prompted by recommendations the National Academy of Science Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) made in an August report, Weather Services for the Nation: Becoming Second to None. The BASC report drew upon lessons learned from the National Weather Service (NWS) modernization project completed in 2000 and provided guidance on future improvements to the NWS.
One recommendation focused on engaging the entire weather enterprise to develop and implement a national strategy to strengthen products and services the public depends upon. "The greatest national good is achieved when all parts of the enterprise function optimally to serve the public and businesses," the report stated. The Weather Coalition, in turn, recommended the establishment of a commission.
The briefing also followed a Town Hall meeting at the 2012 AMS Annual Meeting in New Orleans that solicited input from AMS members regarding what messages the weather enterprise needs to send to Washington.
Panel speakers included John Armstrong, chairman of the BASC report committee; Bill Gail, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Global Weather Corporation; Pam Emch, Senior Staff Engineer/Scientist, Northrop Grumman; and Tom Bogdan, president of UCAR. Moderator Scott Rayder, Senior Advisor to the President, UCAR, asked the panelists to lay out the case for chartering such a commission, which would likely be composed of top officials from the Legislative and Executive branches.
The commission would provide "strong and consistent advocacy" for the weather enterprise's priorities in an organized manner, Dr. Emch said. Dr. Gail emphasized the opportunity afforded by a thriving private sector within the weather enterprise even during a strained period in the national economy. Dr. Armstrong provided a reminder that today's information-centric society continually raises the public's expectations of the accuracy and convenient delivery of the enterprise's products and services.
The proposed commission would follow the structure of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, chartered by the Oceans Act of 2000.
Before a weather commission launches, specific measurable criteria need to be developed to gauge its effectiveness. Will objectives encompass securing steady or increased federal funding? Are any new programs or councils called for? Will expectations or guidelines be set as to what the private and academic sectors would contribute and receive in return?
According to Dr. Bogdan, a near-term next step might take the form of a second briefing on Capitol Hill, during which end users of weather forecasts and warning information could convey their needs and how they would benefit from a U.S. Commission on Weather Policy. Supporters of the proposed commission also will need to identify members of Congress willing to sponsor a bill that would charter the commission. If legislation is introduced, the sponsors would have their turns to courageously speak up for the weather enterprise and ask their colleagues on the Hill to have the courage to listen.

The Louisiana hospital is using Newbury Wi-Fi RFID tags from Trapeze Networks to monitor conditions within all of its heating and cooling devices.
Nov 20, 2009—Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) has begun installing RFID-based sensor tags to track temperatures within all of its refrigerators, freezers, medical fluid heaters and blanket warmers, using ActiveAsset software and AT320 active Wi-Fi RFID tags from Newbury Networks, a division of Trapeze Networks. The system will be used with the hospital's existing Meru Wi-Fi system. All devices are expected to be tagged within the next 60 days.
By utilizing its existing wireless system, the 300-bed hospital has only to attach tags inside the cooling or heating equipment throughout the facility, and install the Trapeze software, which resides on TGMC's server, to interpret data from Wi-Fi Meru access-points, indicating the location of each cooler or warmer, its current temperature and its temperature history, and send alerts when necessary.
TGMC first began discussing the system with Trapeze's Newbury division, to place temperature-sensing tags in refrigerators and freezers for storing pharmaceuticals. Before the system was installed, however, the hospital expanded its plans to include all refrigerators and freezers (not just those for storing pharmaceuticals); all containers that either heat or cool medications, medical devices or tissues; and heaters and refrigerators in the cafeteria. The blanket warmers—which heat up blankets before they are provided to patients in the surgery area—are also being tagged. Altogether, the hospital plans to use more than 120 tags.
Like all hospitals, TGMC must adhere to Joint Commission guidelines requiring refrigerator or freezer temperatures to be checked regularly. Prior to adopting the Trapeze system, TGMC's staff took a pen and paper to each cooler in the 1-million-square-foot hospital, recording the temperature twice each day. The facility sought a system that could transmit ID and sensor data via the existing Wi-Fi system, and do it without adding other hardware, such as exciters, to allow reads of all sensor tags within the coolers and heaters throughout the building.
Other vendors would have had to add hardware to their existing system in order to guarantee reads of all sensor tags, says Jeff Sardella, TGMC's network administrator. In so doing, he explains, they could achieve greater visibility into the condition of the coolers and heaters, and save employees hours of time spent manually recording temperature measurements each week. Newbury's system, Sardella says, was the only one that could offer Wi-Fi coverage without extra access points or exciters.

Tag: #NoGoal
2/22/18 – David Freese, Brett Hull, and Arby's
One thing I never could have understood when I was growing up is how much people change as they age. I don't know if you can really grasp it until you experience it. I've changed in a lot of ways, and one of those is how I watch sports, for better or worse.
This Twitter exchange got me thinking about that idea.
The Dallas Stars are in a very rough stretch. They've played some bad hockey, and when the luck dragons show up on top of that it just looks gross. I mean they outshot Anaheim 40-17 Wednesday night, but still lost 2-0 to a soon to be 38-year-old backup goalie. Younger, more tasteless, me would have cracked a bottle of Southern Comfort open up somewhere during the five squandered early third period power plays.
I fully acknowledge that outcome should make me crazy. It would have made younger me crazy. Two things have sucked most of the emotion out of sports for me: the Texas Rangers and #PeskyStars.
The dramatic heel turn the 2011 World Series took had a, so far, unchangeable impact on me. Obviously there are more personal heel turns that would mean more, but I've never experienced anything that dramatically crushing. I've gone through my share of bad things (hospital stays, bad parental relationships, poverty, divorce, etc), but the unexpected highest height of the sport immediately becoming the lowest low is something I didn't recover from emotionally.
I blame the #PeskyStars too. There was nothing really fun about them for many years, and they #GotPesky right as I began seriously writing about the team. Imagine wanting to write (for free) about a sport you love and trying to find things to say about that. Some nights it wasn't easy.
What happened for me was I withdrew emotionally and tried to just see what was going on. I lost a lot of that fan instinct, again, for better or worse. I don't enjoy games the way I used to, I enjoy moments and plays.
Watching Miro Heiskanen play those five Olympic games was a treat. Seeing all the intricacies of what he brings to the rink nightly was more rewarding than any specific Stars game has been for me since, I guess, 2009? I don't even know.
I love watching John Klingberg play. Alexander Radulov is a joy. Guys who bring that spark and visibly have fun (ie mainly Europeans and Russians in particular and Phil Kessel) give me the most satisfaction from hockey these days.
I want the Stars to be successful. I get sucked in watching the Stars dominate a hapless opponent. Even last night as they shredded Anaheim in the third period I was into it. I'm just not emotionally invested in worrying about bad luck anymore.
Good process can lead to crap results. The Stars weren't perfect against the Ducks, but outshooting a team 40-17 is going to win many games in this league. If they do that every game in a seven game series they're probably going to win, but even then they still aren't guaranteed.
Game six in 1999 was won on a goal that shouldn't have counted by the stupid rules of the time. It's fun to laugh at Buffalo, but that game only got to overtime because Jere Lehtinen beat arguably the best goalie of all time short side through a tiny hole between his knee and the post.
In game two Craig Ludwig scored. If he doesn't score on a limp shot from the point that game goes to overtime. If you ever wonder if God cares about sports go rewatch that series from beginning to end. There is no God that anyone would willingly follow who would allow some of those things to happen in a sporting event if they were really invested. The Stars were the more talented team by far but it's not a stretch to say Buffalo could have easily won.
The cold reality that there is no justice in sports, only good processes that sometimes are out of players' control. That hit me hard a decade ago. An illegal goal no one wants to review can scar a small city forever. A lazy fly ball to right field can miss a fielders glove by a foot and make a goat out of a regular all star while emotionally crippling an adult.
Sports are fun. I have no more expectations of ultimate success even though I'll enjoy it, I think. Everything is math and at any point the luck dragons can come up and stomp on the dreams of even the team with the most sound process. We're just along for the ride.
Eat Arby's.

Q: Aquamacs/emacs: focus-follows-mouse not working as expected I'm working with Aquamacs 2.3a [latest version] on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I would like to switch between frames/buffers by just moving the mouse. As far as I found out by searching for this problem, you can put the following code in Preferences.el to make it work:
(setq focus-follows-mouse t)
(setq mouse-autoselect-window t)
See also here: Emacs sloppy focus no longer working - 2 second delay on changing focus
and here: how to get focus-follows-mouse over buffers in emacs?
I also found (setq mouse-autoselect-window t).
The problem is that none of these entries in Preferences.el seems to have any impact on the behavior of Aquamacs. I can move the cursor over new buffers or frames, nothing is activated. So my questions are:
1) what is the expected behavior of theses settings?
2) if they (as I would guess) should have an impact on the way Aquamacs allows to change buffers/frames, why is it not working in my case? [I even tried with an empty Preferences.el, just putting in the above commands].

A: I think you've been bit by a typical confusion over what focus-follows-mouse does.  It does not make the focus follow the mouse.  Rather, it just tells Emacs that your OS/window manager does have a focus-follows-the-mouse behavior. AFAIK, there is no way for Emacs to make the focus follow the mouse -- that's an OS/window-mgr thing.

A: Try M-x turn-on-follow-mouse or (turn-on-follow-mouse) assuming that https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/follow-mouse.el is installed and correctly working.

Its too early for any definitive conclusions just yet. The LG GM360 Viewty Snap has the better camera, offers social networking support and the convenience of a standard 3.5mm audio jack. For the younger crowd, this is the better combo of the two.
Can a featurephone still cut it against the budget Android brigade?
The LG Viewty Snap GM360 might have come out quite well in a review even six months ago, because budget Android handsets were rare as hens' teeth at that time.


'In the Summertime when the weather is fine.. You could stretch up right and touch the sky..' This hugely popular song by Shaggy is not something you would like to hum along when the mercury rises to a sweltering 45-50 degrees. Battling the heat waves becomes a priority during the merciless summer which could easily take a toll on you and your body. However, it could do very little if you are summer ready. Nourish yourself and get your summer glow on by pleasing your palette and indulging in some fresh foods. As you create some summery magic with your palette, remember to incorporate some hydrating ingredients into your cooking.
The first food that comes to our mind to beat this scorching heat is, of course, the watermelon which is the quintessential summer saviour. The refreshing fruit is soaked with nutrients besides being fat-free. Break the monotony and dish out gorgeous salads like a Watermelon and Chicken Salad, Three Melon Mozzarella Salad or an Orzo salad with watermelon and feta. Cool off with some watermelon popsicles, watermelon jelly or sip on the perfect Watermelon Punch with fresh lime and crushed mint.
Summers are made for salads. Be it a Mango rice salad with grilled shrimp or a Pickled Strawberry and Roasted Beet Salad on Ricotta or a Snap Pea and Fennel Salad, it is an ideal way to gather all your favourite vegetables in one perfect bowl. Preparing cold soups for the summers could also be a good idea. Make it an enjoyable affair by trying your hands on variants like a Blueberry and Yoghurt Soup with a lime swirl, a Chilled Summer Borscht or a Buttermilk-Corn soup. Hot dogs also need not be the same run-of-the-mill kinds. For a fun and fresh twist add a summery topping of peaches, chopped jalapeños, and cilantro. For desserts, there are a variety of ravishing options you could create. A Kiwi Summer Limeade Pie, Baby Citrus Cheesecakes, a Black Forest Freezer Pie or a Tropical Ambrosia Shortcake could be just the thing as a summer crowd-pleaser.
Think cool and think innovative this season and you are sure to make peace with the flaming sun in the breeziest of ways!
