En el marco del Año Internacional de las Cooperativas los invitamos a participar del

3er. Evento de Software Libre y Economía Social

El Software Libre es un movimiento nacido en la década del '70 como respuesta al avance privatizador del mundo del conocimiento y del software en particular. Basado en la idea de que el conocimiento debe ser compartido, el software libre creó herramientas legales (la licencia GPL) que le permitieron desarrollar software en base a un modelo de desarrollo y una forma de trabajo totalmente nueva y centrada en el compartir. Es por esta filosofía y este modelo de negocios que desde hace un tiempo el Software Libre comenzó a ganar un lugar entre los proyectos de la economía social, al mismo tiempo que surgieron modelos cooperativos en el mundo del Software Libre. El evento tiene como objetivo difundir las ideas del Software Libre y de la Economía Social y generar espacios de debate e intercambio entre los diferentes colectivos para ampliar la sinergia entre estas corrientes de pensamiento.

Los invitamos a venir al evento para conocer experiencias e intercambiar además de ver cómo se programa en vivo.

Over the last decade, you've likely seen an increase in the number of public health campaigns. These ads have asked drivers to do everything from paying more attention to their surroundings in an effort to start seeing motorcyclists to securing a sober ride instead of driving while intoxicated.
But despite the best efforts of state and federal governments, we continue to see a large number of fatal accidents every year. In fact, according to the most recent data available to the Centers for Disease Control, the United States ranks first on a list of 10 high-income countries for having the highest number of fatal motor vehicle crashes in 2013.
What does that data say?
What should people do to reduce the number of fatal accidents?
It's common sense to say that most accidents are avoidable, but it requires the effort of every driver to make this a reality. Simply knowing you shouldn't text and drive or operate a vehicle after drinking alcohol is very different from actually avoiding these types of dangerous and negligent behaviors behind the wheel. If each person makes the conscious effort to make a change, then change will happen and we may see less fatal accidents down the road.

Sponsoring a course is a great way to offer a wilderness and remote medicine course at your location for your employees, members and the general public. Many Scout Troops, Search and Rescue teams, and outdoor organizations host courses at a location of their choosing across the East Coast throughout the year. Sponsoring a course is also a great way to earn revenue for your group or organization!
Each year many sponsors recognize the value of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable educators, up-to-date curriculum materials, numerous recertification opportunities and our full service approach to helping them run high quality training programs. Well over four thousand CWS alumni are providing emergency medical care across the globe.
When you sponsor a Center for Wilderness Safety course, you are working with a full-service organization. Our professional staff strive to support your course and give you and your students the best experience possible. We take customer service to heart! We require a minimum of 30 days lead time (preferably 45 or more) prior to a desired course start date. This allows time for participants to register.
Have questions? Give us a call at (855) 505-1700 and we'll be glad to help you!
Just fill out the form to start your inquiry!
* The minimum number of students required for a course which takes place within 50 miles of Center for Wilderness Safety's headquarters in Sterling, VA is 8 students. All courses hosted more than 50 miles away from the CWS headquarters in Sterling, VA require a minimum of 12 students to host a course and also require at minimum, two instructors. The maximum number of students may be expanded from 18 students to a maximum of 30 students per class if a second instructor is available to teach the class. For classes more than 18 students, we require at least two instructors. Courses that plan on having more than 18 students must be approved in advance.
** This course is ONLY available within 20 miles of Center for Wilderness Safety's HQ in Sterling, VA. We do not offer this course nation-wide at this time.
When scheduling a course, dates depend on both the availability of our instructors and of course, the sponsoring organization's time-frame. We strongly recommend scheduling a Wilderness First Aid course at least three to four months in advance; a Wilderness First Responder course, three or more months out. Finding and booking the course location (facilities, lodging, etc.) is solely the responsibility of the sponsor. If you do not have a location arranged, we will be glad to work with you to help find a nearby solution. Please note that on multi-day courses, we do not permit a change in location from day to day or within the time-frame of the course.
All courses require an indoor classroom with ample room for tables, chairs, PowerPoint projection, as well as space for skills practice - in addition to easy access to an outdoor or wilderness area in which to do practice scenarios and simulations.
The primary scheduling format for the 16-hour Wilderness First Aid (WFA) class is a weekend-based approach, meaning all day Saturday (8am-6:30pm) and again all day Sunday (8am-6:30pm). We understand that this may not work for all groups and individuals and are fairly flexible in working around your schedule. We are also able to schedule a WFA course during the week, over the course of 3 consecutive days.
Our 40-hour Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) class is taught both as a standalone course, and an upgrade from Wilderness First Aid. Typically, the course is taught over either 4 or 5 consecutive days (either 8am-6:30pm or 8am-5pm each day), however may also be split up over two consecutive weekends if available.
The most common format of a 72 to 80-hour Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course is either 7, 8 or 9 consecutive days. Times vary, however typically are from 8am-5pm daily with several days also including evening sessions, typically from either 7-9 pm or 7-10 pm. In certain formats, these evening sessions are required to meet the required curriculum hours.
For all courses that are taught within driving distance of Sterling, Virginia (between 50 and 500 miles from our base camp in Sterling, VA), we charge the current GSA rate of $0.51 per mile, both to and from your location for one vehicle. If the course is located within 50 miles of Sterling, VA, we do not charge mileage. We also request meals and lodging for our instructors from the evening before your course through the morning after your course.
If you are unable to provide housing and food, we request a $30 per Diem (per instructor/per day) for meals for the duration of the course; as well as reimbursement for any incurred lodging expenses. Our instructors are usually happy to do home-stays or rent a room at a local university or hostel. Depending upon the course location and time of year, overnight camping may also be acceptable.
The average cost per student, factoring in tuition, additional modules and instructor costs (meals, lodging & mileage) average out to be around $25-$75 above the base tuition. We encourage sponsoring organizations to also earn revenue through the cost of the course tuition.
For courses more than 500 miles from our base camp in Sterling, VA, we require the sponsor pay any air or train fares, as well as any meals and travel expenses incurred by the instructors en route to and from your course location. We also request the same amenities as mentioned above (meals & lodging during the course of the entire program).
Feel free to email or call us with any questions you may have! Our staff is really knowledgeable and will do whatever it takes to make sure your questions are answered and you're taken care of! Call us toll free at (855) 505-1700 or feel free to contact us via email!

We are thrilled to participate in MiningNL's Mining Innovation Symposium on February 11th. Genomics can play many roles in the mining industry, but next week, we're featuring some genomics work that can help mining companies monitor their environmental footprint. To tell the story, we have Dennis Wilson from New Gold explaining their ground-breaking R&D in this area. If you're attending, be sure to say hello to Kristin Tweel, our Business Development Officer, who will be happy to answer any questions you have about the role of genomics in mining and how Genome Atlantic can help.

Thousands of aspiring lawyers from non-privileged homes will benefit from a £1m expansion of the Sutton Trust's Pathways to Law programme, a pioneering initiative designed to widen access to the legal profession, it was announced today. For the first time, the programme, which is funded by the Legal Education Foundation, nine leading law firms and the partner universities, will provide support for GCSE students in years 10 and 11, as well as throughout sixth form.
Today's announcement comes after research by the Sutton Trust found that three-quarters of top judges and 71% of top QCs were privately educated – proportions that have decreased only slightly since the 1980s. At the same time, YouGov polling of the legal industry commissioned by the Trust and PRIME revealed the benefits of addressing the problem are widely accepted. A majority (52%) of senior figures in the legal industry said that improving social mobility in the legal profession would be beneficial to their firm.
Pathways to Law, targeted at academically able pupils from non-privileged homes, will be delivered by 12 partner universities across the country, including four new universities who have joined the programme this year: University of Roehampton, Queen Mary University of London, University of Leicester, and University of Liverpool.
Many also receive further help and access to internships during their university course.
Recruitment for Year 10 and Year 12 pupils will begin in August 2016. Pathways to Law will be run by the twelve partner universities: University of Bristol, University of Exeter, University of Leeds, University of Leicester, University of Liverpool, The London School of Economics and Political Science, University of Manchester, University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, University of Oxford, Queen Mary University of London, University of Roehampton, and University of Warwick.
For further information or to arrange an interview, including with students who have been successful on the programme, please contact: Hilary Cornwell or Conor Ryan on 0207 802 1660.
Pathways to Law is funded by the Legal Education Foundation, The Law Society and nine law firms. These are: Allen & Overy, Ashurst, Clifford Chance, Cooley, DLA Piper, Eversheds, Hogan Lovells, Linklaters and Macfarlanes.
The Legal Education Foundation was set up to promote the advancement of legal education and the study of law. It was created in 2012 with the monies received from the sale of the College of Law.
Pathways Plussupports non-privileged law students during their degree through e-monitoring, residential courses and help securing work experience.
PRIMEis an alliance of 89 law firms and legal departments across the UK who have made a commitment to broaden access to the legal professions. PRIME firms offer work experience to young people from less privileged backgrounds who might otherwise not have the opportunity to access careers in the legal world. Since its establishment in September 2011 PRIME has provided high quality work experience to almost 4,000 young people, significantly exceeding the target of 2,500 by 2015.
The Sutton Trust's Leading People 2016 report maps the educational backgrounds of leading figures in ten areas: the military, medicine, politics, civil service, journalism, business, law, music, film and Nobel Prizes.


Use this fun cheerleading quiz to test yourself on how much you know. There are just ten questions. Can you get a perfect score?
1. What is the proper term for the cheerleader who performs the aerial stunts?


It's been too long since I've crafted or even had a blog entry for that matter. I've made cards here and there but nothing on fabric like a quilt or wall-hanging. It always seemed that we were either packing up the old home, remodeling the old home, selling the old home, unpacking, etc. Then I started dealing with difficult items. Both my dogs passed this year in March and September. They were 15 year old yorkies and were the apple of our eyes. Mindy and Mandy.
As I finally come to terms with losing them, I was hit with another loss. My sister passed away at the beginning of this month. She was only 55. She fought a long and hard battle with Systemic Scleroderma . I'm hoping that by getting back into the blogging scene and crafting, it will keep my mind distracted as I work through these losses. Thanks for visiting and I look forward to sharing my new craft room photos. Here's to some new crafty adventures.


Note: What follows is, essentially, a rewrite of my Facebook post about the picture. So, if you caught that, you can probably safely skip this entry.
So, Yoshimi and I caught a late afternoon / early evening screening at the local multiscreen "cafe and lounge," in the modern parlance. We both found it wonderful and recommend "The Shape of Water" without hesitation.
Also worth noting this is a film that, I think, benefits from viewing on a theater screen. Not a big "action picture" with lots of stunning effects and crap blowing up, which is sometimes why you want the big screen experience.
But just a beautifully crafted production, with every element exquisite. Locations (I was never in Baltimore in the early '60s — come to think of it, I've never been in Maryland at all, but this film sure as hell put me there), set decoration, props, costuming, cinematography (gods, the cinematography!) all so richly executed that the clean, undistracted focus of the theater really enhances the experience.
I won't say much about the story. It's hard to talk much about specifics. I think the film needs to be allowed the space to unspool the tale on its own terms. Plus, unless you live under a media rock you already know the rough shape of it. del Toro (who has always had a certain affection and affinity for "monsters" retrieves and retells the tale of The Creature From the Black Lagoon for our modern era (though the picture is set in 1962). There is love; there are bad guys; there are flawed, imperfect, and damaged people. Events occur; choices and personal agendas have consequences.
The writing is elegant and lean, the performances range from exceptionally good to, in the case of Sally Hawkins, career-making. Worthy of special note in supporting roles: Richard Jenkins who (as he so often does) infuses his character with a depth and implied back story a lesser actor might have missed and Morgan Kelly, who does more with his Pie Guy character than perhaps even the writers imagined.

Film Review: Mortal Kombat
Test your might by sitting through the latest film adaptation of a video game, with Simon McQuoid's reboot of 90s fighter staple, Mortal Kombat.
After an intriguing prologue set in 17th century Japan, the film leaps forward to present day and introduces us to struggling MMA fighter Cole Young (Lewis Tan). To support his wife and daughter, Cole is getting his ass kicked in the octagon for pittance on the regular – that is until he crosses paths with former serviceman Jax (Mehcad Brooks). Cole learns that the mysterious 'birthmark' of a dragon on his pec is more than just a cool conversation starter at parties – it's a tattoo signalling his destiny to compete in a legendary, cross-dimensional tournament called Mortal Kombat.
However, hot on Jax's heels is a shadowy figure from another realm – Sub-Zero (Joe Taslim). A fearsome warrior with the power to wield ice and frost, Sub-Zero has been tasked by the nefarious Shang Tsung (Chin Han) with hunting down and destroying all of the Earth realm's tournament champions before the contest can begin. In order to face Sub-Zero, Cole, with the help of Jax, fellow soldier Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee) and loudmouth Kano (Josh Lawson), must journey to a remote temple, in search of a tutor by the name of Lord Raiden.
Mortal Kombat has been adapted for the screen before, with Paul WS Anderson's cheesy but cherished 1995 original leading to a derided sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. The 2021 reboot does away with the 90s 'charm' that characterised Anderson's film and goes down a more contemporary route, by making the action, production design and overall vibe more grisly, gory and grounded.
For fans of the games, this might be a good thing – from what I've seen, the games are very grisly and very gory. I'm not a huge fan myself, largely because I'm terrible at button-mashing fighting games, but I known enough about the world and its characters to get by – which was good, because McQuoid's film doesn't waste time providing context for much of its premise.
There's a tournament that spans dimensions, a roster of masked ninjas and burly beasts, and an eternal tussle between two factions for control of the 'realms'. That's all you need to know, before Mortal Kombat kicks into gear and gets down to business.
Lead actor Tan, playing a new MK character who serves as an audience insert, is given the thankless task of being a fairly blank slate for richer, more established characters to interact with. Australian actors McNamee and Lawson come to the fore, particularly the latter; while most of the cast is po-faced and taking this shit seriously, Lawson is operating on another level as this aggressively beefy ocker loudmouth. His portrayal of Kano is so big and colourful, that it overshadows and outshines everyone around him. Hiroyuki Sanada is also a standout as fan-favourite Scorpion.
After the first hour establishes the plot, McQuoid packs the second half with pretty much wall-to-wall action. Aside from the prologue, which is more measured, the action in Mortal Kombat is very splashy – frenetic edits, rapid choreography. The film certainly earns its R18+ rating, with each encounter punctuated with a gruesome 'finisher' that sees someone's head carved in two or guts ripped out.
Mortal Kombat is a film laced with little details and callbacks for fans to hoover up and gorge on. For everyone else, there's not a lot to latch onto – if you're not well-versed in the Mortal Kombat universe and its characters, this might not be for you.

CHINA TROUPE DAZZLES TROP WITH ITS LIVES IN THE BALANCE
By Phil Roura
Jun 30, 1996 | 12:00 AM
BOLSTERED BY a 2,225-year-old tradition, the 38-member Peking Acrobats is the most storied troupe ever to play Atlantic City. But even without roots dating back to China's Ch'in Dynasty, the company would be something to see. During a 75-minute show on the cavernous TropWorld Showroom stage, the Acrobats dazzle, wow and excite as few acts have done contorting their bodies into the oddest shapes imaginable and juggling everything from a 9-year-old cutie (Ye Yang) to a bounty of bumbershoots. In between, the company swings on poles, balances nine people on a bicycle, throws knives, tumbles, dances, engages in martial arts and twirls with such polished grace and charm, you'd wish they'd never leave town. All from mainland Chinese, the Acrobats are booked into the Trop through Sept. 2. And since the advent of detente with the Communist government in Beijing, the company is allowed more freedom these days. So you're likely to encounter these free spirits along the Boardwalk. But there's only one place to see them, really. And that's from the stage at the Trop.

This paper examines the ethics of using assistive technology such as video surveillance in the homes of people living with dementia. Ideation and concept elaboration around the introduction of a camera-based surveillance service in the homes of people with dementia, typically living alone, is explored. The paper reviews relevant literature on surveillance of people living with dementia, and summarises the findings from ideation and concept elaboration workshops, designed to capture the views of those involved in the care of people living with dementia at home. The research question relates to the ethical considerations of using assistive technologies that include video surveillance in the homes of people living with dementia, and the implications for a person living with dementia whenever video surveillance is used in their home and access to the camera is given to the person's family. The review of related work indicated that such video surveillance may result in loss of autonomy or freedom for the person with dementia. The workshops reflected the findings from the related work, and revealed useful information to inform the service design, in particular in fine-tuning the service to find the best relationship between privacy and usefulness. Those who took part in the workshops supported the concept of the use of camera in the homes of people living with dementia, with some significant caveats around privacy. The research carried out in this work is small in scale but points towards an acceptance by many caregivers of people living with dementia of surveillance technologies.

You should definitely go to a psychic reader. They can help you. I had one neighbour that used to hear sounds like this and can't sleep at night. He was going into depression because of this. Then someone suggested him to go to Voyance Pure psychic reader who provide counseling over the phone and we can talk to them whenever we need their help. They provided him with psychic reading services, which helped him a lot.
Maybe you go to a doctor to be sure you don't have a brain tumor, you have to acknowledge the physical body as well as everything else. Your description sounds to me like you were electrocuted.

It?s been mentioned before that a previous misdemeanour might affect Anthony Joshua?s chances of boxing in, or even visiting, the good old US of A.
Back in February 2011, Joshua was convicted of a drug related crime, something that prohibits entrance to the US.
However, lifestyles and circumstances change and as the current holder of the IBF world heavyweight title and, at some point, it seems logical that Joshua will be called upon to fight in the US.
But it appears that Joshua has grasped the bull by the horns and ventured down to the US Embassy, in London, to pave the way for his career to develop in the US.
?I had long meetings about my visa. I had to go to the embassy like everyone else, queue up and wait around all day. It was a long day.
?We got there, now my dream is to defend my title in Las Vegas.?
Could that be against the WBC champion Deontay Wilder, sometime later this year?

Calm colors, primarily greens, blues and soft purples, encourage balance and harmony because the vibrations of the color are slow and steady. Choose soothing colors for rooms used for sleeping or for relaxing at the end of a long, stressful day. Bedrooms, bathrooms and family rooms should be painted in these cool colors.
You can actually feel the chi of different colors – touch an object of a specific color and close your eyes. Do you feel calm, energized or neutral? When you use these colors in your home, think about your purpose in using feng shui. If you're hoping to inspire more excitement in your bedroom, use high energy colors like red and yellow. If you want to turn your home office into a calm retreat, paint the walls green or lavender.
Every color affects chi energy differently, and different colors are believed to be related to the five elements, and to yin/yang. Color can be used to enhance a specific chi energy. There are also symbolic meanings for each color – so while red for example, is linked with fire energy and the chi energy of the west, it's also associated with romance, wealth, and happiness.
Red – a strong color, energetic color that encourages physical and mental energy. In color therapy it's used to improve blood circulation and overcome depression and fear. It's an excellent color for a dining room, as it keeps guests excited and stimulates the appetite. Bright reds must be used carefully, though, as they can also generate fear and anger, and may be disturbing to people with mental health problems. It's not a very good color for your bedroom – unless you're hoping for an abundance of passion.
Orange – a happy color that revitalizes and refreshes, encouraging optimism, confidence, and enthusiasm. It's used by color therapists to treat a number of health problems, including asthma, colds, and thyroid problems. Muted shades are good in family rooms where you want to encourage fun and relaxation. Orange is very good for kitchens and playrooms, but it can sometimes induce nervousness and restless behavior.
Green – a healing and calming color that reminds us of nature, therapists use green to soothe pain. It's great for living rooms and bedrooms, as it renews and balances. Green is also a symbol of selfishness, jealousy, and laziness, however. An overabundance of green can inspire lethargy and depression.
Blue – a healing and mentally relaxing color that conveys hope, harmony and calm. Blue is an excellent addition to a sick room, or to keep people calm and relaxed. Blue stimulates creativity, communication, and spiritual understanding, and may help to reduce pain levels. If used too much, however, blue can be depressing.
Indigo – a relaxing color, associated with change and the healing of crises. Color therapists use it as a cooling and astringent, and to improve vision, hearing, and smell. When used too much, though, indigo can create stagnation and mental fatigue.
Purple – a calming, soothing color associated with psychic intuition. Purples are great for meditation rooms and other areas devoted to spiritual studies, and to use throughout the house for wealth and abundance. Violet – a brighter purple with lots of red tones – is associated with spiritual aspirations, and prosperity. Color therapists believe it to be calming to the mentally ill, and say that it reduces hunger, and controls irritability.
Remember – the stronger a color is, the less of it that's needed to affect the room. But your personal tastes and preferences are important in feng shui, too – so don't use a color that you dislike, no matter what its feng shui function. The whole point of feng shui is to find the right balance of energy, calm and health in your home, so use colors that you feel good about!

Of ants and men: Ant behavior might mirror political polarization
by Liz Fuller-Wright, Princeton University
Princeton's Chris Tokita and Corina Tarnita found that division of labor and political polarization -- two social phenomena not typically considered together -- may be driven by the same processes. They found that 'social influence,' the tendency of individuals to become similar to those they interact with, and 'interaction bias,' which leads us to interact with others who are already like us, are both necessary for division of labor and polarized social networks to emerge. When only social influence is present (top), individuals interact randomly and become similar, ultimately causing the group members to tend to perform the same task. When only interaction bias is present (bottom), individuals cannot differentiate, and the society remains homogenous. When both social forces are present, feedback between them results in both division of labor and polarized social networks. Credit: Chris Tokita, Princeton University
Could the division of labor in an anthill be driven by the same social dynamics governing the gap between liberals and conservatives? That was the surprising question tackled by Princeton biologists Chris Tokita and Corina Tarnita.
"Our findings suggest that division of labor and political polarization—two social phenomena not typically considered together—may actually be driven by the same process," said Tokita, a graduate student in ecology and evolutionary biology. "Division of labor is seen as a benefit to societies, while political polarization usually isn't, but we found that the same dynamics could theoretically give rise to them both."
In a paper published today in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, Tokita and Tarnita examined two forces known to drive political polarization and added them to an existing model for how division of labor arises in ant communities. They found that a feedback between these two forces simultaneously resulted in division of labor and polarized social networks.
"It suggests that maybe there's a common process underlying the organization of societies," Tokita said.
The two forces are "social influence," the tendency of individuals to become similar to those they interact with, and "interaction bias," which leads us to interact with others who are already like us. The researchers combined those with a "response threshold" model of ant social dynamics, in which ants choose their activities based on which need meets a critical internal threshold.
In other words, if ants A and B have both checked community food stores recently and checked on their young recently, but A has a lower threshold for hunger while B has a lower threshold for worrying about the health of the larvae, A will head out foraging while B rushes back to the nursery. Over time, this leads A to interact with other hunger-sensitive ants, who become the foraging team, while B spends more time with other care providers, and they become the nurses. Combine that with social influence and interaction bias, and the gulf between the foragers and the nurses grows steadily wider.
Princeton computational ecologist Chris Tokita and his adviser Corina Tarnita found that division of labor and political polarization -- two social phenomena not typically considered together -- may be driven by the same processes. Their model shows that the emergence of division of labor and polarized social networks both require the combination of social influence and interaction bias. As both social influence and interaction bias increase, the behavior of individuals becomes more specialized (i.e., biased) and individuals increasingly interact with those who are similar. 'Social influence' refers to the tendency of individuals to become similar to those they interact with, and 'interaction bias' leads us to interact with others who are already like us. Credit: Chris Tokita, Princeton University
When this leads to societies eating well and raising healthy young, it's called division of labor and heralded as a cornerstone of civilization. When it leads to tribalism, it's called a breakdown of civil discourse.
But the underlying forces might be the same, say the researchers.
"Social insect colonies thrive on the heterogeneity that leads to division of labor, but sometimes they need to make decisions that have to be embraced by the whole nest," said Tarnita, an associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. "For example, when honeybees need to move their nest to a new location, it would be problematic if the colony couldn't reach consensus and it ended up splitting,"
So what the researchers wondered next was how the social forces that polarized the ants into doing different tasks could be tamed to rebuild consensus when that was needed. Their model predicted a clear way back from polarization: fight the tendency to interact only with those who are similar, and be willing to let your internal thresholds shift a little.
"Our model predicts that if you interact with those who are different from you, over time, you'll become similar to each other," Tokita said. "It basically erases those differences."
It even applies to scientists and sociologists, he added. "One of the things I hope comes from this project is that it causes people in different fields, coming at and thinking about social behavior from different perspectives, to talk to each other a little more. In this project, we learned a lot by borrowing theories from sociology and political science, and combining them with our biological model."

Q: How to use same logic for multiple audioplayers on my page I want to change playback speed for number of audio clips on the same HTML page.
The JS code for changing the speed goes like this:
var vid = document.getElementById("myAudio");

function getPlaySpeed() {
  alert(vid.playbackRate);
}

function setPlaySpeed10() {
  vid.playbackRate = 1.0;
}
function setPlaySpeed09() {
  vid.playbackRate = 0.9;
}
function setPlaySpeed08() {
  vid.playbackRate = 0.8;
}

And HTML for audio is this:
    <audio id="myAudio" controls src="/home/../../../1-001.mp3"></audio>
                        <button onclick="getPlaySpeed()" type="button">What's the speed</button>
                        <button onclick="setPlaySpeed10()" type="button">1</button>
                        <button onclick="setPlaySpeed09()" type="button">0.9</button>
                        <button onclick="setPlaySpeed08()" type="button">0.8</button>
<audio id="myAudio" controls src="/home/../../../1-002.mp3"></audio>
                        <button onclick="getPlaySpeed()" type="button">What's the speed</button>
                        <button onclick="setPlaySpeed10()" type="button">1</button>
                        <button onclick="setPlaySpeed09()" type="button">0.9</button>
                        <button onclick="setPlaySpeed08()" type="button">0.8</button>

So the speed actually changes only for the first  element.
I did change the id for the second element to myAudio1 and duplicated the JS code with the myAudio1 and this way both of them work, obviously :) but there should be better way!
Please help :)

A: Passing the element id as a parameter in your functions will eliminate the need to duplicate your functions. The same thing can be applied to the speed as well.

function getPlaySpeed(elementId) {
  var vid = document.getElementById(elementId);
  alert(vid.playbackRate);
}

function setPlaySpeed(elementId, speed) {
  var vid = document.getElementById(elementId);
  vid.playbackRate = speed;
}
<audio id="myAudio-001" controls src="https://audionautix.com/Music/AshesOfAnEmpire.mp3"></audio>
<button onclick="getPlaySpeed('myAudio-001')" type="button">What's the speed</button>
<button onclick="setPlaySpeed('myAudio-001', 1.0)" type="button">1</button>
<button onclick="setPlaySpeed('myAudio-001', 0.9)" type="button">0.9</button>
<button onclick="setPlaySpeed('myAudio-001', 0.8)" type="button">0.8</button>

<audio id="myAudio-002" controls src="https://audionautix.com/Music/Assasins.mp3"></audio>
<button onclick="getPlaySpeed('myAudio-002')" type="button">What's the speed</button>
<button onclick="setPlaySpeed('myAudio-002', 1.0)" type="button">1</button>
<button onclick="setPlaySpeed('myAudio-002', 0.9)" type="button">0.9</button>
<button onclick="setPlaySpeed('myAudio-002', 0.8)" type="button">0.8</button>

Note: replaced the audio files with something accessible so you can test this example live.

Watch: "Running Man" Cast And Apink's Son Naeun Hilariously Attempt To Act Out Songs By BTS And Sunmi
by E. Cha
On the latest episode of "Running Man," the cast members and guests took their best shot at acting out several iconic K-pop hits!
During the November 4 episode, the cast split up into teams to compete against each other in a variety of games. The first round was an entertaining variation on charades and the telephone game: each team took turns lining up and attempting to guess what song their members were acting out.
Apink's Son Naeun, who appeared as a guest on the episode, was teammates with Jun So Min, HaHa, Ji Suk Jin, Kim Jong Kook, and Yang Se Chan. As the first player up on her team, she deftly expressed both Sunmi's "Gashina" and BTS's "Fire" by dancing the highlights of each song's choreography.
However, not all of her teammates were quite as skillful in their dancing, resulting in some hilarious impressions of the famous songs.
Against all odds, Yang Se Chan still miraculously managed to guess both "Gashina" and "Fire" correctly.
Son Naeun's team also went on to act out Apink's "Mr. Chu" and BLACKPINK's "DDU-DU DDU-DU," with equally hilarious results.
Check out the full episode of "Running Man" below!

Q: Google Fonts & Safari SELECT problem I have a problem with select when I import fonts from Google Fonts. When I click on select on Safari, website reloads. On Chrome, FF, IE everything is ok. Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/stcvS/
Can anyone help?

A: You can target Safari via CSS and avoid the problem:
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {

/* for Safari 5.1 bug http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7025826/google-fonts-safari-select-problem */

.formData SELECT {

    font-family:Helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
}

}

A: I'm not sure if JQuery is a route you want to go down, but perhaps this could help:

    <select id="dropdown">
        <option>kiko</option>
        <option>atletico</option>
    </select>

A: This seems to be a bug in Safari 5.1. Every SELECT with CSS @font-face fails with page reload.

A: It's better to user

 or

 and apply necessary css and javascript insted of using <select></select> in this type of special case where we have to apply different font-familiy , font-style, etc.

Sydney's revered venue The World Bar will close due to lockout laws
The Kings Cross establishment becomes a new victim of Australia's restrictive laws
Despite hopes that Sydney's chokehold lockout laws could be removed by the end of the year, yet another beloved venue has fallen victim. The World Bar, an iconic Kings Cross hotspot for electronic music performers and nightlife in the city, has announced its sudden closure on social media.
"We are sad to tell you that we will be closing the doors of the The World Bar Sydney this Thursday 29 November," The World Bar writes on Instagram. "Our final show on Wednesday is set to be a cracker, so come and join us for one last night to say goodbye at The Wall. Over the last 18 years, we have thrown some of Sydney's most renowned club nights and live music events. We hope we've been able to put smiles on people's faces and create a few hazy memories."
The announcement was posted along with a photo of the establishment's sign, which has been changed to read: "It's been wild, gotta go now, stay safe Sydney, thanks for the good times."
Hi Friends, We are sad to tell you that we will be closing the doors of the The World Bar Sydney this Thursday 29 November. Our final show on Wednesday is set to be a cracker, so come and join us for one last night to say goodbye at The Wall. Over the last 18 years, we have thrown some of Sydney's most renowned club nights and live music events. We hope we've been able to put smiles on people's faces and create a few hazy memories. On behalf of everyone at The World Bar, a massive thank you to our 2500 staff, 4500 DJs, 1000 bands and thousands upon thousands of punters who have walked through our doors over the last two decades. Our parting words to anyone who loves Sydney's nightlife are these - the best way to rebel is to go out. There are great venues and incredible music alive in the Cross and surrounding areas, so please get out there and support all our incredible friends - promoters, venue owners, artists- still battling away for their love of live music. Cheers for everything, and watch this space, who knows when you might see us again…. Love, Wardy and The World Bar crew x

More than a handful of pioneering Australian talents have graced the decks at The World Bar, including Flume, Alison Wonderland, Nina Las Vegas, What So Not and more.
"I feel physical pain today seeing this place come to an end," What So Not wrote on Instagram. "The World Bar was the most important residency I've ever had. Every What So Not record EVER got its first few test plays here."
"Through all this lockout bullshit, I've kept returning to Sydney and this venue has still been here," he continues. "The last remaining stronghold of what was one of the greatest creative hubs in the world. A place to still pullup at 1am and go b2b with every young DJ grinding in Sydney, a place to test my album before I sent it to mastering, a place that gave people hope in what they were most passionate for."
I feel physical pain today seeing this place come to an end The World Bar was the most important residency i've ever had. It wasn't a lot of money, but combined with a couple slots around town, just enough for a young aspiring musician to get by & spend their week in the studio, rather than cleaning up peoples tables. Every What So Not record EVER got its first few test plays here. Ppl either roared with a stank face or stopped dancing & went to the bar. I literally used this interaction to decide which records to finish, scrap, rework or release for years! Through all this lockout bullshit, i've kept returning to Sydney & this venue has still been here. The last remaining stronghold of what was one of the greatest creative hubs in the world. A place to still pullup at 1am & go b2b with every young DJ grinding in Sydney, a place to test my album before i sent it to mastering, a place that gave people hope in what they were most passionate for. Watching this campaign of gentrification unfold was my first firsthand experience seeing how easy it was for people of power & influence drum up stats & hysteria (so far from the reality) & just wipe out a community. It made me think a lot about the world & what I want to try do for it. One of my proudest moments was seeing tens of thousands of you march through the streets of Sydney in protest. I don't think i'd seen my generation come together like that in Australia prior Everything does come to an end & something fantastic & new is always around the corner. Keep your passion alive & lends build something new here at home

European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval of the dapivirine ring for HIV prevention for women in high HIV burden settings
The European Medicines Agency announced today that its human medicines committee provided a positive benefit-risk opinion on the use of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring (DPV-VR) for HIV prevention. WHO stresses that when providing HIV prevention for women it is always critical to provide these alongside other services including STI diagnosis and treatment, HIV testing and links to antiretroviral therapy for all women who test positive and a range of contraception options.
Amid continued progress, trachoma elimination programmes set their sights on 2030
Almost two decades of global work has drastically reduced the number of people at risk of blindness from trachoma from 1.5 billion in 2002 to under 137 million in May 2020 – a 91% decrease. Also in 2002, there were an estimated 7.6 million people with trachomatous trichiasis (TT); by May 2020, this figure had dropped by 74% to 2 million. The 2020 figures represent decreases of 4% and 20%, respectively, since the corresponding 2019 estimates.

Dr. Carrie Bearden is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences and holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Psychology. Dr. Bearden received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and joined the UCLA faculty in 2003. She has received numerous awards and honors, including the Young Investigator Awards from the International Congress for Schizophrenia Research, the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Affective Disorders (NARSAD), and the American College of Neurophychopharmacology (ACNP), the A.E. Bennett Neuropsychiatric Research Award for Clinical Science in Biological Psychiatry and the Samuel Gershon Junior Investigator Award from the International Society for Bipolar Disorders. Dr. Bearden's research aims to understand genetic influences on brain structure in the development of psychosis, using converging methods to study cognition and neuroanatomy in clinical high-risk samples (e.g., adolescents at clinical high-risk for psychosis), and in possible genetic subtypes of the disease with very nigh penetrance (e.g., 221 11.2 microdeletions). Another active research project, conducted in collaboration with Dr. Nelson Freimer, is an NIMH-funded study of neural endophenotypes of bipolar disorder in a genetically isolated population in Latin America.
