Cal High freshman wins national essay contest
Mon, Nov 18, 2019 | 11:48 am | Staff Report | Sports
WHITTIER – California High School freshman and girls golf team member Sophia Martinez was recently honored by the Women's Sports Foundation for her essay, "What Inspires Me to Keep Playing," during the foundation's 40th Annual Salute to Women in Sports gala, held Oct. 16 in New York City.
Martinez, a member of the Southern California Golf Association junior program, was one of three winners of the WSF national essay contest, allowing her the chance to meet some of America's elite female athletes, including Women's World Cup star Megan Rapinoe and WSF founder and tennis star Billie Jean King.
"It was more exciting than anything I've ever felt before," said Martinez, who began playing golf at 6 years old. "These women are truly inspiring; they are helping the next generation of female athletes. I still can't wrap my head around it."
In her essay, Martinez explains that golf constantly motivates her to be a better version of herself.
"Golf teaches you to be independent, patient, honest, respectful, a problem solver, and numerous other values. When I am presented with a tough shot or a bad round, I always remind myself to remain positive and apply good decision-making steps to solve the problem," she wrote. "I will be forever inspired to play this game in the future not only to challenge myself but to teach the beauty of this game to others."
Prior to the gala, Martinez received a prized piece of advice from U.S. Gymnastics Hall of Fame member Wendy Hilliard.
"Billie Jean King was rehearsing her speech and Wendy asked if I wanted to meet her. But the security guards wouldn't let us through," Martinez said. "Wendy turned to me and said, 'Sometimes you have to make your own rules.' That was so inspiring to me. I will never forget it."
Martinez's trip to New York was part of a whirlwind year that saw her score her first hole-in-one and be named one of two female golfers from Cal High to compete in the CIF-SS Northern Individual Tournament in Ojai on Oct. 28.
"I love my teachers at Cal High, they treat me like family," Martinez said.
Looking ahead to college, Martinez would like to attend UCLA or USC, study biology and play on a college golf team.
"Sophia exemplifies what can be achieved through hard work and dedication, and we are proud to have such a talented scholar-athlete on our campus," Cal High Principal Bill Schloss said. "We look forward to continuing to nurture her talents, help shape her future and foster Condor spirit for years to come."

For one, handwritten notes mean more because they cost more. Emails, tweets, texts, or Facebook messages are essentially costless. They're easy to write and free to send, and you and I produce hundreds of them every day. A recent study indicated the average corporate email account sent orreceived more than 100 emails per day (PDF), and Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 nowsend or receive nearly 100 texts per day.
These electronic communications are rarely notable. But handwritten notes are unusual. They take minutes (or hours) to draft, each word carefully chosen with no "undo" or "autocorrect" to fall back on. Drafting one involves selecting stationery, paying for stamps, and visiting a mailbox. They indicate investment, and that very costliness indicates value. If, as the U.S. Postal Service notes, we only receive a handwritten letter once every two months, each of those letters likely means more to us than the "cheaper" communication we receive each day.
That conveyance of value is amplified by the fact that personal messages are often notes of gratitude, civility, and appreciation that reach beyond the conventional thank-you. Robert Cialdini, in his classic work Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, profiled legendary car salesman Joe Girard. Perhaps the most successful salesman of his generation, Joe would send a handwritten message to all his clients once a month with simple messages printed inside like, "I like you." Joe believed these little notes were one of the reasons his clients stayed so loyal to him. Because handwritten notes are so painstakingly slow — to draft, to send, to assure delivery — they're often a poor way to ask for things. Instead, they're more frequently used to remind others that you value your relationship.
While saying "thank you" is important, the beauty of a well-crafted handwritten note is that it can show deeper investment and appreciation than a simple thank-you can. It can follow up on a conversation, remind someone they're not forgotten, raise new issues, or even include a gift, like Bridgett's, that carries its own meaning. And in a world where so much communication is merely utilitarian, these simple acts of investment, remembrance, gratitude, and appreciation can show the people who matter to your life and business that they are important to you.
As an added bonus, studies show that those who express gratitude also benefit by experiencing better health and sleep, less anxiety, and more life satisfaction. They benefit giver and receiver alike.
Finally, handwritten notes have permanence. How many of us have our old high school yearbooks in a closet somewhere? How many keep shoe boxes with old letters or short notes from former colleagues or friends? The last time I moved, I came across several boxes of correspondence I'd had over the years. Taking the time to read through some of them, I found the memories of my old friends and colleagues, and my gratitude for them was reinvigorated. Email is "permanent" in its own way; our electronic messages are easy to keep and search in huge volumes. But they aren't tangible and enduring in the same way those old notes are. We don't print emails and display them on our desks, refrigerators, and mantles they way we do with letters and notes from friends. The physical notes are more memorable.
It may seem nostalgic, but I still believe there's room for the handwritten note in personal and professional communication. They cost something, mean something, and have permanence in a way emails and text messages don't. They let the people in our lives know we appreciate them enough to do something as archaic as pausing for 15 minutes to put pen to paper in an attempt to connect and sustain a relationship with them. I still remember that note from Bridgett — and many others I've received over the years — and perhaps in writing personal notes to our friends and colleagues, we can reach out to others in a way that creates a lasting, positive connection.

Well not exactly my first… My name is Ian. I'm the new Store Manager at the Board Game Barrister in the Bayshore mall. Here's an interesting little tidbit about myself: I worked for Walmart for 10 years before becoming a Barrister.
I trucked through all of those holiday seasons, one after another, and by the end of my 10 year stint, I really dreaded that time between Black Friday and Christmas eve. So I decided it was time for a change—time to do something I love, to work with products I enjoy, and to serve customers who love games as much as I do.
One of the main differences between the two businesses has been in the merchandising. At Walmart, researchers and home office told us exactly what to put out on every feature display. At Board Game Barrister, I have the liberty of tailoring our shelves around the things that matter most to our customers—everything from Gamehenge (pictured below) and window displays, to the thing I am most proud of: the Barrister Picks wall, where every Barrister gets to pick their favorite games to talk about. Some of my favorite customer interactions were at the Picks wall, sharing personal experiences I have had with games and relating those to the experiences they will have in the future.
I can honestly say that this Holiday season at Board Game Barrister is the most fun—Yes, I said fun—that I have ever had while working in retail. The joy and excitement that me and my team could bring to every kitchen table; the gaming sessions after everyone has had their fill of the holiday meal; and the thought of the kids' faces lighting up as they opened the brand new game under the Christmas tree—it really made me feel like I was part of something. I am part of a community, the Barrister community.
I just want to say thank you. Thank you to Board Game Barrister for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the holidays again and make a personal impact on so many people's lives, from the customers to all of the Barristers I work with. And thank you most of all to the members of the community, from the regulars that play in all of our events to the mom who came in for the first time to get that gift for under the tree.
It just goes to show that the people around you are what make the season magical. Even if I was just a small part of that magic, I am glad to have been here. I look forward to many more just like this one.
Ian is the Bayshore store manager, and a connoisseur of quality buffalo wings. His favorite games include Codenames, Pandemic and Dungeons & Dragons.

The first day of Colin Dunne's residency was a mixture of deconstructing rhythm, becoming aware of our own movement and the movement of others, and stepping into the unknown. 12 Trinity Irish Dance Company members were introduced to a new style, consistently challenged to complete every action in a natural way while simultaneously staying in sync with one another. Digital delay microphones allowed us to hear the echoes of our own beats and dance to each other's rhythms. We ended day one mesmerized by the endless rhythmic possibilities and intrigued by the immense potential of this collaboration.

Q: LMFIT Curve Fitting Module Sometimes doesn't show Errors I have various spectrograms that I am trying to fit a function to. LMFIT has a composite model feature that I am using, my model is essentially a sum of Voigt or gaussian peaks against a constant background. The initial guesses for the peak centres are found using the scipy peak finder function.
The fit is actually mostly pretty good, even for the data sets with many peaks. My problem is that sometimes (for some larger data sets with more peaks) the errors on the fit report aren't shown, but sometimes they are.
From reading other questions about similar topics I seem to have gathered that this could be due to a parameter not being used, or being pushed to a boundary I have set. In light of this I tried removing all boundaries, and just setting the initial conditions for each peak. It still did not show the errors.
I realise it may be asking a lot to fit 15 or so overlapping gaussian curves to a spectrogram, but since the fit seems to work pretty well by eye, I assume it must work to some degree.
Essentially I'd like to know how to get the errors in the fit report for the datasets with many peaks, just like the data sets with 2 peaks.
Here are two example fit reports:

Also here is a cut down version of the code (PseudoPseudoCode?) that doesn't run but shows what I'm trying to do. The actual code I have runs so it's not really a problem with the code, so to speak, but perhaps it'll illustrate what I'm trying to do. I'm sure it's horribly optimised so feel free to mock me in your answer.
#read in data

#decide on stn ratio prominence and other values, the model type to use etc

#find estimate for peak centre, using this scipy function

#obviously cut out some of the other code but this loops to make a gaussian or a voigt or whatever for each peak found above
model_array = {}
pars = lm.Parameters()
while n < peakamt:
    model_array[n] = modeltype(prefix = "g"+str(n)+"_")
    pars.update(model_array[n].make_params())
    pars['g'+str(n)+'_center'].set(value=xpeaks[n])
    pars['g'+str(n)+'_sigma'].set(value=7)
    pars['g'+str(n)+'_amplitude'].set(value=ypeaks[n])
    if modeltype == VoigtModel:
        pars["g"+str(n)+'_gamma'].set(value=0.7, vary=True, expr = '')
    #print(n)
    n = n + 1

#adds the constant model
const = ConstantModel()
pars.update(const.make_params())

#makes the entire composite model, adding each peak model to the constant model
model = const
m = 0
while m < n:
    model = model + model_array[m]
    time.sleep(0.1)

Thank you very much for reading this, I hope someone can help me. I apologise if this was torture to read, I don't have much experience with this website or coding in general. I hope it wasn't too bad.

A: The latest version of lmfit should include in the report some information about why it could not estimate the uncertainties.  Generally, this happens if some parameter goes so far off that its contribution has no effect on the model or fit, or if some parameter gets stuck at a boundary. The report should give some hint of this.
In your case, it looks like the gamma parameters have all gone very negative and completely crazy.   For the Voigt function, gamma < 0 is not exactly "absurd", but it does make the function not-exactly a "peak", more like a mixture of  "sharp Lorentzian minus broader Gaussian".   You might want to put a lower bound on gamma, perhaps 0.
There are other possibilities like constraining gamma to be some factor times sigma and using the same factor for all peak, say like
pars = lm.Parameters()
pars.add('gamma_scale', value=0.7, min=0, max=100, vary=True)
while n < peakamt:
    pref = 'g%d_' % n
    model_array[n] = modeltype(prefix =pref)
    pars.update(model_array[n].make_params())
    pars['%s_center' % pref].set(value=xpeaks[n])
    pars['%s_sigma' % pref].set(value=7)
    pars['%s_amplitude' % pref].set(value=ypeaks[n])
    if modeltype == VoigtModel:
        pars['%s_gamma' % pref].set(expr='gamma_scale*%s_sigma' % pref)
    n = n + 1

That will still allow the Voigt peaks to have some variability with gamma, but constrain them to all have the same amount of gamma-ness.  Whether that is what you really want to do probably depends on the nature of your data.

Caring properly for your lawn requires regular mowing, watering, and consistently examining for insects. If you are like countless other homeowners in Medford, Oregon, you have encountered an uninvited guest or guests on your property at some point or another. Insects can pull nutrients from your grass, which can cause roots to be damaged and may even cause permanent damage to your lawn. Most individuals opt not to use toxic forms of insecticides on lawns due to the presence of children and animals. Protecting your lawn from damaging insects can take effort and time, but it is important to know how to shield it from insect damage. Consider the following advice to further ensure the protection of your lawn's health.
One of the most common lawn diseases is red grass, which causes patches of grass to form red colors. This can quickly cause the grass to die, so try treating the lawn with ammonium sulfate as soon as you detect any evidence of red grass. In addition, regularly aerate to enhance air distribution.
Rusty grass is a disease that tends to spread quickly in a lawn, resulting in yellow areas of grass. There is no chemical solution for this issue, but routine mowing procedures and removing clippings can deter this disease from spreading to your entire lawn.
This is a fungal disease that typically appears after snow and manifests itself as brown-yellow, and sometimes white regions on a lawn. This disease can distribute itself quickly throughout a lawn and destroy it altogether. To deter snow mold, do not use feeds that are high in nitrogen.
Anthills are eyesores on a lawn, and many people use biological agents to get rid of them. Typical ant sprays are not effective on lawns, as they are typically used in homes and buildings where ants do not have the ability to nest in hollow areas in the soil.
These appear to look like toadstools or mushrooms growing in your lawn. Chemical solutions are typically unavailable to people who are not verified experts, so if you want to rid your lawn of this, it might be best to call a professional.


NBA All Star Weekend 2015 was right here in NYC! It doesn't get any better than that. NYC was filled with glamour and star studded events to say the least. This year DJUSA & SM EVENT GROUP played an integral part in producing over 40 events for Adidas, Puma, Akoo, DJ Clark Kent & The Originals, Starter, Microsoft, Jimmy Jazz, and Roc N' Sole.
The highlight of NBA All Star weekend was creating an amazing experience for Kenny Smith's legendary invite only All Star Weekend Kickoff (#allstarkenNY). For this event at Pranna we brought in a Full Line Array nightclub sound system & custom DJ Booth. We also brought in lighting and custom gobo design for Samsung, TNT, and Crown Royal. Additionally we had an interactive photo booth and custom built LED wall at the VIP entrance of the party for the ultimate wow factor. DJs Funkmaster Flex, Kool DJ Red Alert, and D-Nice rocked on our sound system while Jermaine Dupri & Kenny Barnes hosted flawlessly.
From branding concepts to full on event production, we were able to create unparalleled experiences for all of our clients. Dealing with high demand corporate clients entails servicing and producing to perfection. Special thanks to our entire team here at the DJUSA headquarters as well as out on the field for spending countless hours to execute flawlessly. Make your event count and allow DJUSA the opportunity to create an experience for you!
Over the last few years, the team at SM EVENT GROUP & DJUSA have been working countless hours & events within the sneaker and lifestyle sector. When the word got out that NBA All Star Weekend was coming to NYC, we got the call from legendary DJ & Hot 97 Personality Funkmaster Flex to handle the production behind his first ever Sneaker & Lifestyle Expo. A select group of 40 vendors were carefully selected to be a part of this historic event.
Funk Flex took over Stage 48 for a show with a line up of artists & celebrities that has never been seen at a sneaker & lifestyle trade show. We made history with this one! Celebrity guests & hosts included the entire Dipset (Jim Jones, Freekey Zeekey, Camron, Juelz Santana), Fat Joe, Jadakiss, DJ Khaled, DJ Clark Kent, Suraj From Sneaker Room and Mayor. The ultimate surprise was an impromptu mini concert by Rick Ross. Rick Ross walked in the building and literally took over the stage. Music was amazing all day and was provided by Hot 97's Legendary Kool DJ Red Alert & DJ Juanyto along with SM affiliates Heavy Hitter's DJ Fatfingaz & Team Straight Face's DJ Trase. Big up Funk Flex and his team for this amazing opportunity and allowing us to be part of such a great event.
"As I continue to learn and grow in the DJ world I realized that my role as a DJ is more than just playing music. This year I have launched a social media campaign by the name of #MixMondays where every Monday evening I release new mixes and music on my Soundcloud page. Over the past couple of months I have reached out to local artists and formed relationships with them to help use my platform as a DJ to break new artists whether it be on my radio mix show, my Soundcloud page, or even in the nightclubs. Trump Tight Records has been one of the most consistent groups in my area and I teamed up with them to do an exclusive remix to Yellow Claw's "DJ Turn It Up" record. Expect more from us in the future!!!"

The new Paperwhite has IPX9 water resistance, which means you should dive your beloved e-reader for at least two in 6 feet of water. Std. Readers will feel pampered when they put their Paperwhite in the tub because It looks thinner and slimmer than its predecessors. Its glass shade is now flush rather than bevelled, weighs only 182 grams and has a thin body of 8,18 mm.
Amazon has also improved the internal parts of the Paperwhite. The new device is Bluetooth enabled so you can listen to audiobooks with wireless headphones. If you decide to read with your eyes instead of your ears, the improved LED backlighting keeps the 300 ppi display bright and readable.
The new Kindle Paperwhite is surprisingly similar to the discontinued Kindle Voyage. a $ 200 mid-range model that wore a waterproof screen and a modern LED backlight. Kindle fans will be pleased to hear that the new Paperwhite is essentially a less expensive, thinner Voyage with twice as much memory. While the Voyage only had 4GB of storage space, Paperwhite's new base model has 8GB of storage. If 8 GB is not enough, you have the option of ordering a 32 GB device.
But there are some changes to the Paperwhite, some of which consumers may not be that excited about. For one thing, there are no side knobs. The high-end Kindle Oasis still has these buttons, but costs almost twice as much as the new Paperwhite. Amazon also decided that the new Paperwhite will not be charged with USB-C, but will stay with a more traditional micro USB port, which is inconvenient for anyone who wants to adopt the new standard.
The new 8GB and 332GB models of Paperwhite will be unavailable until November 7, but both models are now pre-orderable. They each cost $ 20 less if you order a "special offer" model (ads on the lock screen). The 8 GB model with special offers costs $ 129.99 and the standard model with 8 GB costs $ 149.99. The 32 GB model with special offers costs $ 159.99 and $ 179.99 without offers.

Westwind has Bell transport helicopters that operate on and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico to support oil operations. In March, the organization announced that is has made a selection for additions to achieve compliance with the ADS-B. It has opted to select the NGT-9000 by L3 Aviation. The installation of these new products has been initiated and is underway. The NGT-9000 will be joining the Westwind Fleet, which already includes Bell 206, Sikorsky 76 and MD 500.
The NGT-9000 was selected by Westwind mainly because of the innovative touchscreen interface. It is user-friendly and includes all the latest software. It is a very promising decision for Westwind, as this will not only ensure that they are on target with 2020 ADS-B mandate requirements, but also makes pilot safety stronger. It gives the crew greater situational awareness. Sometimes conditions can be harsh in the Gulf of Mexico. This is another reason why the newest software is such a huge benefit, as it comes with state-of-the art weather information, temporary flight restrictions, and highly accurate winds and temperature information.
The NGT-9000 is an excellent choice for any rotorcraft operators who are looking to make some technological and safety upgrades while still meeting and maintaining compliance with ADS-B. ASAP Distribution is a world leader when it comes to supplying aviation and rotorcraft parts. We are the best choice for a simplified sourcing solution and all aviation component needs.


SINGAPORE: The Singapore Democratic Party launched its economic policy paper on Saturday (Feb 7), which outlines its new economic vision.
At a news conference, SDP chief Chee Soon Juan announced a number of his party's proposals. These include setting up a Wage Equity Commission to recommend a minimum wage level.
Another proposal involved the return of CPF in full to Singaporeans. SDP proposes that citizens opt in for the Minimum Sum scheme if they have spending problems.
The party also suggested having a retrenchment insurance scheme, called Re-employment Scheme and Temporary Assistance for the Retrenched (RESTART) to narrow income inequality. The scheme proposes that retrenched Singaporeans will be able to draw 75 per cent of the last drawn salary within the first six months.
SDP suggests that the state fund 80 per cent of the scheme, and employers and employees make up 10 per cent of the funds need each. Dr Chee also proposed the raising of Personal Income Tax for the top one per cent of earners from 20 per cent to 28 per cent to help in the funding.

Influence of shuttered Block Yeshiva will continue
Rabbi Yonason Goldson's latest book is "Proverbial Beauty: Secrets for Success and Happiness from the Wisdom of the Ages," a collection of practical insights from the Book of Proverbs and the Mona Lisa, available on Amazon.
By Rabbi Yonason Goldson
Ask any teacher. Ask any informed parent. Educational standards are in free fall across America, perhaps around the world. And in St. Louis, an extraordinary institution has closed its doors.
Block Yeshiva High School did not come into existence as something new or revolutionary. Its roots reach all the way to the ancient traditions articulated by the sages of the Second Temple period, and its style expressed the more recent articulations of one of the most influential thinkers of the past two centuries.
In 1851, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch relinquished his pulpit and his seat in the Moravian Parliament to accept a position as leader of the Torah community in Frankfurt am Main. In response to the rapid assimilation of West European Jews, Hirsch developed a movement that embraced both secular knowledge and passionate commitment to Torah study and observance.
The approach that became known as Neo-Orthodoxy was built upon a rigorous 12-year primary and secondary education system providing Jewish children with the fundamental skills and philosophic outlook to remain strong in their traditions while simultaneously preparing them to flourish in the professional world of gentile society. By doing so, Hirsch created a bulwark against the sweeping tide of secularization while establishing a model to produce fluent and committed Torah Jews for generations.
For 38 years, St. Louis has boasted a school that has earned an extraordinary reputation among both American universities and Israeli yeshivos and seminaries. Following the trail blazed by Hirsch a century and a half ago, Block Yeshiva High School graduates have distinguished themselves in medicine, law and business, as well as in the world of Torah scholarship. Perhaps more significantly, as a group, Block Yeshiva graduates have retained an extraordinary commitment to Jewish tradition and values, to the Jewish people and the Land of Israel, and to the refinement of moral and spiritual character that is our true legacy as a nation.
Here are a few examples of what Block Yeshiva has produced:
• A translation and exposition by an alumnus of the biblical commentary of the Ramchal, perhaps the deepest thinker and ethicist of the last 300 years.
• Two winners of the national Chidon Tanach competition, both of whom went on to place second in the international competition.
• Currently, at least five recent Block graduates serve in the Israel Defense Forces, including two in special forces. One alumnus was named IDF Soldier of the Year.
• Publication of an innovative curriculum as one of the most comprehensive overviews of Jewish history and philosophy available in English.
• A record of scholarship awards, standardized test scores and college placements rivaling the most prestigious preparatory schools in St. Louis, from a school averaging 30 students and having no academic admissions restrictions.
In 2012, when Block Yeshiva underwent review to renew its accreditation, a panel of local educational experts visited its classrooms, interviewed its students, and scrutinized its curricula and administrative records.
After the investigation, the head of the panel sat down with Block's principal, Rabbi Gabriel Munk, and said, "Rabbi, we only have one question: Why is the whole city not breaking down your doors to enroll their children in your school?"
It was a good question then, and it is now. Why did so many parents fight against educational standards that would prepare their children for success? Why did a small community seek so many ways to cut itself into pieces instead of pursuing a course of peace, cooperation and unity? Why were the politics of personality allowed to sow strife and dissension in a way that will ultimately cause a community's children to suffer from the loss of an institution that served so many so well?
These questions contain their own answers.
But whatever justifications may be claimed, it's worth giving voice to just a few reflections of those who appreciate how much they gained:
I learned science, math and English. I learned bible, practical law and philosophy. I played sports and learned how to sing, dance and act.
Yet I really learned more. I learned how to do acts of kindness for others. I learned how to pray with concentration and sincerity. I learned honesty and integrity. I learned ethics and values. I learned how to be a mensch. I learned how to work hard but also make time for fun. I learned how to study. I learned to love Israel. I learned sportsmanship and teamwork. I learned how to be a Jew.
And I learned all of this not just by the subjects taught, but rather by the role models – the faculty and staff at Block have given me the foundation I strive to live my life by.
— Alumna, class of 2011
I cannot give enough thanks to all the rabbis and teachers who touched the lives of my children. These people we only expected to teach our children were also there to rescue, nurture, encourage and comfort.
Let no one say Block Yeshiva has failed. You need only look at their graduates to know that in every way, Block Yeshiva was and will always be a success and a blessing.
— Parent of alumnus, class of 2013
I was a student at BYHS at its inception, coming from public school. That first year was one of the most important and exciting years of my life because I was able to learn about Torah Judaism in depth for the first time.
For me, BYHS had the perfect blend of Torah values combined with secular knowledge. To top it off, I even got to be part of a girls' basketball team!
BYHS played a big part in forming my Jewish identity and commitment to live a Torah way of life.
In 1892, activists of the Jewish enlightenment succeeded in lobbying the Russian government to impose educational reforms upon the illustrious talmudic academy of Volozhin. Unwilling to compromise the integrity of his institution, Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin closed the doors of the 200-year-old school. It was truly the end of an era.
There will always be zealots, well-intentioned or otherwise, who believe they know what is best for the world. Sometimes they will win a battle here or there. But the commitment to educational and cultural integrity will ensure that authentic values and principles will survive, that discipline and moral clarity will prevail.
Block Yeshiva High School may close its doors, but its influence will go on and on and on.
Rabbi Yonason Goldson's new book is "Proverbial Beauty: Secrets for Success and Happiness from the Wisdom of the Ages," a collection of practical insights from the Book of Proverbs and the Mona Lisa, available on Amazon. He lives in St. Louis, where he teaches, writes and lectures. He was a longtime teacher at Block Yeshiva High School.

Last week, for the first time, the UK Treasury released the Combined On-line Information System—known as COINS—covering millions of individual lines of public sector expenditure. It is one of a raft of Whitehall databases to be made public as part of the new coalition government's commitment to greater openness (salaries of top civil servants earning over £150,000 is another). Naturally, the British press has leapt on some key data from the database: a headline in at least two broadsheets proclaimed that during the past year the (old) government spent 1.8 billion pounds on consultants alone. Easy to criticize the spending, but the detail does not tell us what those consultancy contracts achieved.
The Treasury press notice hailed it as ''the most detailed UK public expenditure data ever released''. However, it also suggested it would be of more interest to ''institutions and experts'' than the ordinary public as the material was ''complex'' and was being released ''in its raw form, requiring technical expertise to process''. My experience confirmed this, I failed to download the main data files (only the adjustment files which then had to be uploaded into MS Access to be meaningful), it seems the main file is too large for my PC to cope with, once downloaded the files are in access of 500Mb. The Treasury has helpfully provided a 31 page guidance note and a promise that more directly useful and accessible datasets that draw on the contents of the COINS databases will be available from August this year. Already software companies have developed solutions to enable easy access and data manipulation.
• a forecast outturn (estimated actuals for months that have ended) and forecasts for future months.
The Coins data is the raw data used by the Treasury to support fiscal management, the production of Parliamentary Supply Estimates and public expenditure statistics, the Whole of Government Accounts. Up to nine years of active data are actively maintained, five historic, or outturn years the current year and up to three future years depending on the timing of the latest spending review. The data does not include individual transactions, it is based on returns of aggregate data from central government departments, derived from the departments own accounting systems. Detailed information on payments to individual suppliers is not available through COINS but it can be accessed if a specific request is made under the Freedom of Information Act.
Slightly concerning is the caveat in the guidance that you may not be able to reproduce the published data from the COINS dataset, because of classification changes, timing differences and because "not all data used to calculate these numbers are sources from COINS". I would like to see some explanation of the differences between the raw data in COINS and the published data in future releases to allow reconciliation with the published documents to avoid accusations of sanitization. After all, it is only in the published annual reports that we can see some interpretation of the results of that expenditure.
Releasing this round of data may not be completely politically neutral: when "unpopular" lines of expenditure catch the public eye, the blame may fall on the opposition side of parliament where the purse strings were controlled until very recently. A measure of outrage about wasteful expenditure could also be a positive help in preparing the way for the tough spending review due in the autumn, particularly in light of the governments stated intention to involve the public in spending decisions, although quite how this will work in practice remains to be seen.
Overall, this is a huge step forward for transparency, in particular by allowing raw data to be analyzed and manipulated and discussions on public spending to take place.

Paper, office supplies and stationery assortment in combination with topical themes in the book trade.
How can I attract customers' attention? How can I make my assortment look attractive to them? These are questions that all retailers in the conventional trade ask themselves. Stationers and booksellers are also constantly on the lookout for new ways of attracting their customers' interest. For them, there are clever ideas and interesting solutions to be found at Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper at Paperworld. From 28 to 31 January 2017, the special show will demonstrate how shop space can be decorated attractively and shopping turned into a positive experience. Located in Hall 5.1 (Stand B08), Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper will split into a variety of themed worlds that, under the motto 'scenes', illustrate how the combination of books and non-book articles can be made into an eye-catcher and driving force for sales.
The huge range of paper, stationery and gift articles presented by over 1,500 exhibitors of Paperworld in Frankfurt am Main plays an increasingly important role for assortment compilation in the book trade and, in this connection, the Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper special show generates a host of practical impulses for the bricks-and-mortar trade. The concept of the special show is oriented towards the current range of new books and aims to enhance customers' emotional shopping experience. Decisive are a harmonious choice of products and a convincing overall concept that underscores the identity of the bookshops. "The special show is a source of useful impulses for both booksellers and retailers because the combination of these two worlds opens up new sales channels", says Paperworld Director Michael Reichhold.
In 2017, the special show will be held under the motto 'scenes', which creates a link to the theatre: the books tell a story and the book trade is its stage. Now, all that remains is to present them effectively. "To take due account of changing customer expectations in the conventional trade, it is essential to bring the goods to life, in other words, to enact them. This need not take place on a large stage or be planned well in advance. Just two or three products and a bunch of flowers displayed on the basis of a spontaneous idea can tell a tempting story. And a small table or a piece of bare wall could be the stage where the story is told. The special show encourages retailers to see the assortment in this playful light and to develop a series of new ideas for the point of sale. To this end, Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper presents a number of elaborate displays on 'stages' of different sizes – from the multi-faceted product world to a miniature setting", explains special-show curator, Angelika Niestrath.
Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper presents a scenario for the book trade, which is easy to create at the point of sale, and strengthens the conventional in relation to the digital trade via personal inspiration, emotionalization and variety for the customer. At Paperworld 2017, Angelika Niestrath wants to emphasise presentation simplicity. Accordingly, Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper will show clearly how themed displays can be created effortlessly with only a few props or even just a wall board as the 'stage'. Thus, the special show fulfils the need of booksellers for practicality and thematic relevance. At the same time, it defines the different target groups of a bookshop and illustrates ways in which they can be reached on an emotional plane. The result is a high degree of customer affection for and identification with 'their' bookshop. "What and where we buy something is increasingly an expression of our individual lifestyles. Therefore, Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper presents selected products that appeal to customers individually and underline the personality of the business", explains Angelika Niestrath.
New this time is the inclusion of fresh flowers as a decorative element because the new Floradecora trade fair, which takes place in Hall 11.1 from 27 to 30 January 2017, opens up a new and fertile field for supplementary product lines in the bookshop. After all, when we think of giving presents, we also think of flowers. Accordingly, curator Angelika Niestrath will also decorate some themed tables with fresh flowers, sprays or plants, which could serve as a gift together with the book or other accessories. "This new aspect will give retailers an idea of what it could look like if they expand their assortment to include cut flowers. Floral arrangements upgrade the presentation, are attractive eye-catchers and a great impulse purchase", says Niestrath.
On the first three days of Paperworld, at 11.30 and 14.00 hrs, special-show curator Angelika Niestrath will hold guided tours of Mr. Books & Mrs. Paper in Hall 5.1. On the last day of the fair, there will be one tour, beginning at 11.30 hrs. For an overview, please see the calendar of events at paperworld.messefrankfurt.com/eventcalendar
For exhibitors, the special show is an additional opportunity to position their non-book product lines in a suitable setting. Angelika Niestrath is on the lookout for interesting new products in the non-book segment and would like to hear from exhibitors with suitable products by email at info@angelika-niestrath.de

Q: Why cannot I add new list in a table in angularJS 1.x? I have example code below where I am supposed to create a list of items.

                                Product Name

                                Qty

                                Price

                                Split

                                <select class="form-control" ng-model="prod.uid">
                                    <option selected disabled>Select Product</option>
                                    <option ng-repeat="product in products | orderBy : 'name'" ng-value="product.uid" >{{product.name}}</option>
                                </select>

                                <input type="number" min="0" ng-model="prod.qty" class="form-control">

                                <input type="number" min="0" ng-model="prod.price" class="form-control">

                                <input type="number" min="1" max="100" ng-model="prod.split" class="form-control">

                            <button ng-click="addNewProduct(prod.id)" class="form-control">Add</button>

                                Product Name

                                Qty

                                Price

                                Split

                            <button ng-show="newProducts.length!=0" ng-click="removeProduct(newProduct.uid)">X</button>

Output
but whatever i type in the textbox of first table is coming just like that in second table. It is supposed to come list by list
In JS I am getting all details from input fields and settinf to an object prod and then pushing it in to an array newProducts.
Later in the table I am using ng-repeat to repeat items in newProducts array. The top table and bottom table are connected in no other way and I cannot figure out why values are chaging in bottom table when they are changed in input fields. Also while trying to add it one more time, it throws an error.
jquery.js:4409 Error: [ngRepeat:dupes] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.3/ngRepeat/dupes?p0=newProduct%20in%20newPr…0a-42d3-949e-3e8e59ac2be9%22%2C%22%24%24hashKey%22%3A%22object%3A359%22%7D

Here is the JS to add new item
//function to add new product while creating
        $scope.addNewProduct= function(id){
            $scope.newProducts.push($scope.prod);
            console.log("product array-"+JSON.stringify( $scope.newProducts));

        }

I tried console.log to log newProducts array in console, it is getting updated with new array , but not showing up in second table. Please help!

A: use angular copy.
angular $scopes are two way binded.. the changes u make in first table will be reflected in second table as you are pushing $scope.prod which is two way binded.

A: Using $scope can be very tricky. I'm not the best in Angular but i have no idea
$scope.newProducts.push($scope.prod);

if you are using here the $scope of the function or the $scope of the Controller.
Put in at the very top of your Controller "var vm=$scope", and in your html use "Controller as vm".
So if you are then there, we can see if the problem still exists.

A: Angular variables are reference type. So you can use angular.copy() to overcome from this issue. Below the code.

$scope.addNewProduct= function(id){
      var products = angular.copy($scope.prod);
      $scope.newProducts.push(products);
      console.log("product array-"+JSON.stringify( $scope.newProducts));
}

Hope it will help you thanks.

Traditional 12 step programs use the steps to tell patients that they are victims, diseased and incurable. The NON 12 Step model is very much against this philosophy. Instead, drug rehabs without the 12 steps believe in empowering the individual with self-awareness, self-confidence, life skills and the ability to confront the underlying issues that led them to addiction.
One could say that non 12 step drug rehab programs work more to 'cure' an addiction; whereas today's more common disease model (12 step based) simply resign themselves to a lifetime of 'treating' it.
The concept of God and a Higher Power is also very prevalent in traditional 12 step treatment. In working the steps, patients must admit that they are powerless and that only a Higher Power can save them. For many agnostics, atheists and others who are of various beliefs, this is difficult and conflicting ideology and eliminates any real shot at getting help due to such a fundamental disagreement.
Programs without the 12 steps are non-faith and non-religious in nature. Some doctors call this treatment "science based" rehabilitation due to the fact that it addresses the underlying issues with cognitive therapy, other one-on-one counseling and education to assist the person in changing their mind and behavior patterns.
Drug treatment without the 12 steps is holistic in nature. There is not the belief in labeling someone as diseased, and are against the idea of drug replacement therapy. This means patients will leave the facility fully drug free and without dependency on medications such as suboxone, methadone or others.
One-on-one counseling, the idea that one can cure their addiction and non-drugging philosophy have won over many experts, addictionologists and doctors in the last 20 years. This is largely due to much higher success rates. Non 12 step programs routinely produce success rates that exceed 70%, whereas the more traditional 12 step programs are at or below 10% efficacy.
Issues like location and availability of the best drug and alcohol rehab; costs and success rates; length of stay for various drug treatment options without the 12 steps – these questions and others can be discussed in confidence at no cost.


Test documents are a good way to manage the details of a software test project and keep stakeholders informed of the project's progress. Learn what to include in test artifacts such as test strategy documents, test plan documents and test estimate plans.
managing test execution, and reporting on status and risk. Every project involves tradeoffs between features, time, quality and costs. It's the test manager's responsibility to manage the details of the test project by possibly providing information to stakeholders in terms of project estimates for the amount of work required, actively managing the test effort, and providing information about product quality. This tip focuses on the documents that might help when managing the testing project.
We have used the test strategy document to define the strategic plan for what aspects of the system we plan to test, our approach to testing, and to capture the details around constraints, assumptions and risks for our testing.
As you develop the test strategy document, the creation of the document and working through the process of gathering information can help you assess and determine the strategy. The test strategy document can also be useful to convey the strategy to stakeholders to gain their agreement to your testing approach.
We use the test plan document to defines the goals and objectives of testing within the scope of an iteration, or if the project is small, for the entire project. For smaller projects, our test plan and strategy document may be the same document.
The purpose is to outline and communicate the details of the testing effort for a specific period of time. It can be used to direct and guide the test effort. It may or may not contain the details found in the test project plan or test estimates (described below). Whether or not those documents are separate or contained under the plan again depends on the size of the project and the context in which we are working.
We sometimes find we need to do formal estimating when we plan our projects. To do this, we like to use bottom-up estimation. Working backwards from our test objectives, we can define all the tasks necessary to complete the objective. When finished, we have a work breakdown structure defined for many of our objectives. We can then take the various work breakdown structures and estimate the work for each of the tasks.
Once we have the estimates for the work, we lay out those estimates against a high-level schedule to understand what our resource needs are going to be. At the end of this process we have estimates in terms of work effort (hours, days, etc.) and resources (a number of people for a period of time).
Depending on the project, this information might be transferred into a formal project plan (most likely using Microsoft Project). This allows us to integrate the various work breakdown structures, consolidate the estimates, assign the resources planned and track the changes to the plan over time as the project unfolds. Maintaining a project plan always has the potential to be a distraction, so be sure that you need that kind of formality or that you truly find it helpful before you make the investment.
Depending on the context you're working in, there might be other documents you need or want to produce. These can include models, lists, checklists, standards, templates, process documents, charters or contracts. For a specific example, Mike once included a site map for a Web site as part of his test planning documents, including details around each of the pages.
There's really no limit to what might be helpful when planning your project. From a documentation perspective, we suggest finding a balance between what's required, what's helpful in driving your understanding of the work, and what's helpful in communicating the testing to the various stakeholders on the project.
Mike Kelly is a principle software test analyst for Liberty Mutual. He is also currently president of the Association for Software Testing and is a co-founder of the Indianapolis Workshops on Software Testing.
Karen N. Johnson is an independent software test consultant. She has 14 years' experience in software testing and software test management and is a frequent speaker at software testing conferences.
A quite good description and reasonable for long Waterfall-type SDLC model projects. The more Agile we become (because business wants us to go faster) the more questions on value and expense of heavy document we have to answer. I'd argue for producing "just enough" documentation in the context, and using feedback from the stakeholders to tune that.


Where has all the rum cake gone?
Since leaving Belize I have missed rum cake. The Utilan bakeries don't carry it, and no other sweets will do. But I still have a big bottle of rum left over from Roatan… too bad the hotel doesn't have a kitchen.
I didn't let that stop me. All you really need is cake and rum, right? I bought Bimbo panquecitos–premade vanilla pound cake–in hopes of easy poor man's rum cake. Back at the hotel, my friends Nico and Doug invited me for poolside rum and I decided it was the perfect time for an experiment.
The guys were up to be guinea pigs. I split open the mini pound cakes and drizzled them with rum. Simple as that. A little stronger than a rum syrup but turns out it works pretty well, and I think is a WAY better way to imbibe rum than with Coke or pineapple. While munching, we about talked intense diving, Nico educated the old people about the latest in social media apps, and the boys sang Disney songs which was kind of awesome.
I still have proper baking ambitions though–you know, the kind that involve an actual oven–and suddenly opportunity as well. So, there are lots of guys staying for a month or longer doing their divemaster certification who rent apartments instead of staying in the dorms. And it turns out, shockingly enough, that every last one of them is up for me coming over to cook in their kitchen. I'm already kicking around dinner ideas for three different bachelor pad dinner parties… and rum cake is most definitely on the menu. Think I should start a catering service or become the Cake Lady of Utila!!
Say what you mean, mean what you say. I'm a woman of my word, especially when it comes to food. Tonight: baking a chocolate oreo and a red velvet cake for a birthday party.

Apple's chip supplier TSMC records 20% growth with $13.3 billion in revenue for Q2, 2021
iPadiPhoneMacby Rida Imran Jul 9, 2021 Jul 9, 2021
Apple's long-term silicon supplier Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) reports an impressive 20 percent growth with NT$372.1 billion ($13.3 billion) in revenue for the second quarter of 2021 accredited to high chip demand. The silicon manufacture is racing to meet chip demands for tech, automotive, and other industries.
In the prevailing global chip shortage, TSMC is reportedly prioritizing the orders of Apple and automotive in the third quarter of 2021, "followed by chip orders for PCs, servers and networking devices." Rumors claim that the manufacture has produced the A15 Bionic chip for the upcoming iPhone 13 expected in September and the M1x chip for the alleged 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models expected to launch later this year.
In the prevailing global chip shortage, TSMC reports 20% growth for Q2, 2021
As reported by Bloomberg, the TSMC's sales for Q2, 2021 meet investors forecasted revenue estimates with 23 percent Y-o-Y growth. The manufacturing leading technology and productivity have put ahead of other chip manufacturers who are adversely impacted by the current chip crisis.
"For the quarter ended in June came in at NT$372.1 billion ($13.3 billion), in line with the average analyst estimate of NT$371.3 billion. Revenue for June was NT$148.5 billion, up 23% from a year ago."
"TSMC's better pricing power on the back of the capacity tightness should largely offset the margin pressure it is seeing from the massive capex spending. Meanwhile, TSMC's technology/productivity breakthrough in EUV should enlarge its technology gap with peers and insure a better cost structure for leading edge technology nodes," Citi analysts Roland Shu and Grant Chi wrote in a recent note.
Earlier this week, Daimler AG and Jaguar Land Rover warned that sales will be further curtailed by the persistent chip shortage, with the latter saying deliveries in the second quarter will be 50% worse than initially thought. United Microelectronics Corp., a smaller rival to TSMC, said Wednesday that chip demand could continue to outpace supply until 2023.
TSMC is the only foundry in the world to produce chips on 5nm process, like the Apple A14 Bionic chip and M1 Apple Silicon which deliver fast performance and incredible battery life. The company is working on an advanced chipset built on a 3nm process which will be adopted by Apple for new iPad models and Intel for new notebook models, as early as next year.

In my reality Kanye West is an incredibly crazy person. Exhibit A is his latest "song." Is it just me or did he make in bad on purpose?
I can't speak to what goes on in Kanye's reality. And I wouldn't want to know, either.
When Grammy award winning producer/rapper Kanye West released the video for his song "Bound 2" off of his "Yeezus" album it was met with a lot of controversy.
The video shows West on a motorcycle riding thru the mountains while being straddled by his fiancee a half naked Kim Kardashian. Many people have basically called the video CHEEZY.
But here's where the fun comes in actors and all around FUN DUDES James France & Seth Rogen decide to recreate the video in its ENTIRETY. Words cannot express it, you have to see this HILARIOUS ISH for yourself and look at the BROMANCE that ensues.

Walter Brandmüller (Ansbach, 5 januari 1929) is een Duits theoloog, mediëvist en een kardinaal van de Rooms-Katholieke Kerk.

Brandmüller, zoon van een officier, studeerde aan de Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, waar hij in 1963 promoveerde op het proefschrift Das Wiedererstehen katholischer Gemeinden in den Fürstentümern Ansbach und Bayreuth. Zijn Habilitationsschrift handelde over het Concilie van Pavia-Siena (1423-24). Hij werd hierna hoogleraar aan de filosofisch-theologische Hogeschool van Dillingen an der Donau. Van 1971 tot zijn emeritaat in 1997 was hij hoogleraar in de Middeleeuwse Kerkgeschiedenis aan de Universiteit Augsburg.

Sinds 1981 was Brandmüller lid van het Pauselijk Comité voor de Geschiedwetenschappen, waarvan hij sinds 1998 president was. Ook was hij voorzitter van de Internationale Commissie voor vergelijkende Kerkgeschiedenis. Een van de zaken waar hij aldus bij betrokken raakte, was de rehabilitatie van Galileo Galilei, die in 1992 door paus Johannes Paulus II postuum in ere werd hersteld. In 2009 legde hij zijn functies neer.

Walter Brandmüller is een priester van het aartsbisdom Bamberg en een kanunnik van de Sint-Pietersbasiliek. In 1983 verhief de paus hem tot Ereprelaat van Zijne Heiligheid.

Brandmüller werd op 13 november 2010 bisschop gewijd; hij werd tevens benoemd tot titulair aartsbisschop van Caesarea in Mauritania, waarvan eerder de Nederlandse bisschop Gerard de Korte titulair bisschop was.

Brandmüller werd tijdens het consistorie van 20 november 2010 kardinaal gecreëerd. Hij kreeg de rang van kardinaal-diaken. Zijn titeldiakonie werd de San Giuliano dei Fiamminghi. Gelet op zijn hoge leeftijd kon Brandmüller niet meer deelnemen aan toekomstige conclaven.

Op 3 mei 2021 werd Brandmüller bevorderd tot kardinaal-priester. Zijn titeldiakonie werd tevens zijn titelkerk pro hac vice.

Are Cytotoxic T Cells a Key to Longevity?
Supercentenarians (people over 110 years old) have an excess amount of cytotoxic CD4 T-cells, immune cells that can kill other cells. This likely increases their immunity to diseases and infections.
These cells are relatively uncommon and are useful for fighting against tumors.
Usually, cytotoxic T-cells are the CD8 version, not CD4. In the supercentenarians, the CD4 cells became cytotoxic.
This article was posted on EurekAlert.org.
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Science (IMS) and Keio University School of Medicine in Japan have used single-cell RNA analysis to find that supercentenarians--meaning people over the age of 110--have an excess of a type of immune cell called cytotoxic CD4 T-cells.
Supercentenarians are somewhat of a unique group of people. First, they are extremely rare. For example, in Japan in 2015 there were more than 61,000 people over the age of 100, but just 146 over the age of 110. And studies have found that these individuals were relatively immune to illnesses such as infections and cancer during their whole lifetimes. This led to the idea that it might be that they have a particularly strong immune system, and the researchers set out to find out what might explain this. To answer the question, they looked at circulating immune cells from a group of supercentenarians and younger controls.
They acquired a total of 41,208 cells from seven supercentenarians (an average of 5,887 per subject) and 19,994 cells for controls (an average of 3,999 per subject) from five controls aged in their fifties to eighties. They found that while the number of B-cells was lower in the supercentenarians, the number of T-cells was approximately the same, and in particular, the number of one subset of T-cells was increased in the supercentenarians.
Analyzing these cells, the authors found that the supercentenarians had a very high level of cells that are cytotoxic, meaning that they can kill other cells, sometimes amounting to 80 percent of all T-cells, compared to just 10 or 20 percent in the controls. Normally, T-cells with markers known as CD8 are cytotoxic, and those with the CD4 marker are not, so the authors first thought that perhaps CD8-positive cells were increased. But that turned out to not be the case. Rather, it seems that the CD4-positive cells of the supercentenarians had acquired cytotoxic status.
Intriguingly, when the researchers looked at the blood of young donors, there were relatively few CD4-positive cytotoxic cells, indicating that this was not a marker of youth but rather a special characteristic of the supercentenarians. To look at how these special cells were produced, the team examined the blood cells of two supercentenarians in detail, and found that they had arisen from a process of clonal expansion, meaning that many of the cells were the progeny of a single ancestor cell.
According to Kosuke Hashimoto of IMS, the first author of the paper, "We were especially interested in studying this group of people, because we consider them to be a good model of healthy aging, and this is important in societies like Japan where aging is proceeding rapidly."
IMS Deputy Director Piero Carninci, one of the leaders of the groups, says, "This research shows how single-cell transcription analysis can help us to understand how individuals are more or less susceptible to diseases. CD4-positive cells generally work by generating cytokines, while CD8-positive cells are cytotoxic, and it may be that the combination of these two features allows these individuals to be especially healthy.
We believe that this type of cells, which are relatively uncommon in most individuals, even young, are useful for fighting against established tumors, and could be important for immunosurveillance. This is exciting as it has given us new insights into how people who live very long lives are able to protect themselves from conditions such as infections and cancer."
The study was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in October 2019.


Post 6 : #KeralaFloodRelief : C130J airlifts Medical team consisting of 96 medical doctors led by Girish Mahajan, Medical Education Minister of Maharashtra from Mumbai to Trivandrum, 20 Aug 18. Medical & relief supplies were lifted along with medical team for flood hit areas of Kerala.
Post 9 : Update #KeralaFloodRelief : All efforts are being made by IAF to coordinate with civil administration to move relief material rapidly into flood affected areas of Kerala. Relief material donated by Punjab Govt. being loaded in IAF C-130J at AFS Adampur for rapid transport to Kerala.
Post 12 : #KeralaFloodRelief : HADR OPERATIONS BY IAF IN KERALA- Many parts of Kerala continue to be affected by landslides and floods. Indian Air Force responded immediately to the crisis in extending all possible assistance to the residents of Kerala through Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief (HADR) missions. Concerted efforts were made by IAF in rescuing stranded people from the flooded areas. Ladies, children, elderly people and residents were winched from the rooftops of submerged houses to safety by IAF helicopters. Till date, IAF has rescued 663 people. IAF helicopters have also dropped food and water packets to the stranded people in the affected areas. Transport aircraft from all corners of the country have been flying day and night to ensure relief material is available in the relief camps. Since yesterday, water has started receding from the flood affected districts. Today, IAF reduced the rescue effort and has increased the relief operations. Till date 974 T of relief material has been airlifted to Kerala state. Medical teams from Southern Air Command and Training Command have been deployed at various places to provide medical assistance. In addition, No 1 Rapid Action Medical Team (RAMT) has been airlifted from Command Hospital Air Force Bengaluru to Thiruvanathapuram to assist in the medical relief efforts to the residents of Kerala. RAMT has the capability to provide both medical and surgical emergency medical care. Additionally, 119 Doctors with 63 T of medicine and equipment has been airlifted to Kochi and Thiruvanathapuram for further positioning at various medical camps.
Post 15 : Update #KeralaFloodRelief: Indian Air Force has deployed a mobile hospital to provide Medical support to the flood affected victims at Chetankery, Kerala.
Post 19 :	MEDICAL ENDEAVOUR OF THE IAF DURING OPS KARUNA: #KeralaFloodRelief - God's own country was deluged by the fury of nature delivered through incessant rain and unprecedented flooding. Thousands of people were rendered homeless and a large swath of land was left inundated. Mother nature held nothing back and landed its most vicious punch with merciless ferocity to make people suffer unspeakable misery. The IAF launched its rescue and relief operation with full force the moment help was sought by the Kerala state Govt. On 18 Aug 18, two mobile medical teams were inserted into medical relief operations and they were followed by eight more medical teams within next two days. These ten mobile medical teams were deployed in some of the most devastated parts of the state. Nine medical assistants, who were on leave in their hometowns across Kerala, voluntarily joined the medical relief efforts at a time when their own families were reeling under the impact of natural calamity of gigantic proportion. This act of service beyond the call of duty was one of many incredible deeds of loyalty, courage and dedication to noble profession, carried out by members of medical teams of the IAF that were deployed across Kerala in its worst hour.
The availability of volunteer medical assistants ensured that each of the mobile medical teams had a Malayalam speaking person and this neutralised the linguistic barrier and extended outreach to the people who knew no language other than their mother tongue. These medical teams waded through stagnant water, walked through tall grass and jungles infested with dangerous animals, travelled on boats through streets turned into rivers and villages transformed into lakes, and worked under the gloomy sky which stubbornly refused to relent. Patients were treated in their homes, on roof tops, on boats, in temples and churches or any places where these medical teams could pitch themselves even for a brief period.
The worst affected people were the aged and children who were not only deprived of nutrition but also many had not had their prescribed medication for chronic illness like bronchial asthma, IHD, hypertension, diabetes etc. A large number of people were carrying various kinds of infections that required immediate medical intervention. The mobile teams conducted adhoc OPDs, took care of sick and provided all the medicines required by them including the prophylactic medicine to prevent diseases associated with flooding and stagnated water. These mobile medical teams not only provided medical relief but also the emotional succour to people left stunned by the wrath of nature. Some medical teams also had lady doctors to ensure that the female patients feel at ease while discussing their medical problems.
On 22 Aug 18, No.1 Rapid Action Medical Team (1 RAMT) from Command Hospital, Bengaluru was flown into the thick of on-going medical effort to expand the scope of medical relief in Op Karuna. The team was deployed at Chethankery near Thiruvalla and had set up 10 bedded hospital in a community hall. This team has a medical specialist, two medical officers and is well equipped to provide routine and emergency medical care.
On 24 Aug 18, the IAF inducted No.3 Rapid Action Medical team (3 RAMT) from AF Station Hindon, into Op Karuna to further augment the medical relief effort. 3 RAMT has a surgical team, a Paediatrician and two other doctors. It is equipped with a mini laboratory, operation theatre and other major medical equipments to provide life saving medical care. Initially 3 RAMT established a 10 bedded hospital at Alappuzha. Subsequently, on 31 Aug, it was relocated to Ramankery, Kuttanad. Both these RAMTs provided life saving treatment to a large number of patients in flood ravaged regions.
The ten mobile teams and 1 RAMT were gradually withdrawn by 30 Aug 18. However 3 RAMT continued to provide medical care till 14 Sep 18 when it was finally withdrawn on the advice of state Govt. All these medical teams together provided treatment to over 7300 patients during their medical relief operations in flood affected parts of Kerala. This enormous humanitarian effort was deeply appreciated by the people of Kerala and also the State Govt. The commendable professionalism and commitment displayed by the medical personnel under trying circumstances found several worthy mentions in local media.
