Musing from an average human
The Interviews | Episode 1: Catie Cohen
As promised, here is my first career and life decisions interview. I hope you enjoy and learn something new; I know I definitely did. Catie is a great conversationalist and a very insightful individual!
I first heard of Catie through one of my college best friends, Katia. After my junior year of college, most of my close friends landed internships in Houston, TX while I was alone interning in Ohio. Katia and Catie met that summer. Upon the return to college for senior year Katia constantly talked about how interesting and funny Catie was and how much I would like her. Originally, I was jealous that she was usurping my title as the "funny friend", but then I met Catie myself after moving down to Houston post-grad. She was everything Katia had described and instead of being jealous I was just excited I got to be her friend too!
Catie currently works as the Front of House Manager at Pondicheri Bake Lab, which happens to be one of my favorite restaurants in Houston serving Indian Fusion cuisine. As manager, she's involved in all areas of the business. She has worked the food preparation for both the Savory Shift and the Pastry Shift. She coordinates and assists with teaching the cooking classes offered by the restaurant. She also asked me to plug the restaurant's food blog that she is responsible for, India1948.com. While Pondicheri has been her main focus in recent months, the rest of her time is involved with other food related side projects including teaching her own cooking class (primarily plant-based) and personal catering.
Catie is impressive, talented, courageous, generous, funny, empathetic, and ambitious. But the main motive for choosing Catie as an interviewee for this project revolved around her massive career change. I genuinely admire the grit and courage that she needed to have to shift from the engineering world into the culinary and health world.
The juxtaposition of these two fields had me curious about her childhood aspirations and what motivators in her life led her to engineering. Like most kids, I'm sure the answer to "what do you want to be when you grow up?" changed a few times. Catie confirmed that her dreams jumped around a lot. Her earliest career goal was to become a veterinarian due to her love of animals; however, her parents pointed out the significant amount of schooling required for the profession. Next, her thoughts shifted to zoologist; however, by the time college applications were due she instead toured schools as a business major. Ultimately after her math and chemistry teachers highlighted her aptitude in these subjects, she landed on chemical engineering. Catie cites both her love of approval and the desire to take on a challenge (chemical engineering is often referred to as the hardest engineering) as the enticing factors that solidified her decision.
In an attempt to parallel her life to my own, I asked if her parents had encouraged her to go into a specific field. Catie's dad works as an MRI technician while her mom works in the financial world. She emphasized that both of her parents never imposed expectations on her. They always let her explore her own interests without suggesting the stereotypical "smart kid" careers of doctor or lawyer. In general, her parents only wanted a career that would enable her to support herself.
Catie's dad often thought she would delve into a creative field given her love of jigsaw puzzles at a young age. Her parents had to train her to say "good morning" before she would consume herself with a puzzle immediately after waking up. With her dad's assumption in mind, I asked if she ever seriously thought about going into the creative field early on. She summed it up as not really, "I went where people said I would be good." Many of us have been there—forced to "choose a path" at 18 years old with very little life experiences to reference. We don't really know what we want to do and everyone else seems to know more, so we do what they tell us sounds like a good idea. You only know what you see—what your parents do, what your neighbors do, what the doctors, pharmacists, and other local professional do.
After a few chemical engineering internships and one year of full time work in the oil and gas field, Catie questioned if engineering was everything she thought it would be. She describes originally believing that you weren't supposed to like work. She quotes a saying her grandfather would say, "If it was fun, they'd call it fun but it's work." At first, she was captivated by earning money, being independent, and living in a new place, but once the enthusiasm for those things faded, she starting asking herself other question about what she was doing for 8-10 hours a day. That's when she realized she needed something else but didn't have any idea what that could be.
While the mentality of believing work should be fun is often associated with entitled millennials, I like to look at it from a different perspective. Yes, our parents and grandparents likely had a harder time financially and were often happy to have any job to provide for their family. I know this is especially true with my dad who grew up fairly poor. He didn't have time to worry about "do I love my job?" He was worried about making a life for his children that was better than his own life (for which I am extremely grateful).
Allow me to be pedantic for a second and reference the idea of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Many of my peers grew up with lives better than their parents and grandparents. Worrying about getting by was never a concern. With that need satisfied we are able to focus on the next tier in the pyramid, the more existential concerns of being fulfilled by our work. It's not the new trope that millennials aren't willing to work, they just want to work for something that's worth it.
Catie combatted her lack of direction, by diving into her other interests. She soon discovered a new way of plant-based eating and loved the way it made her feel. She wanted to share what she had found with other people. She explored multiple avenues within this interest. Trying all these new things gave her the confidence to believe there was something out there for her besides engineering.
Many people get to the idea phase, "maybe I'll do something else", but they struggle to act on the thought. Not Catie. Catie executed. She made it look easy; she explains that it wasn't.
The whole process from idea to execution was about 2 years of figuring it out. It required a lot of exploration and an investment of some money, which she acknowledges that she was lucky to have. She first looked into becoming a nutritionist or registered dietitian, but was deterred by the fact that those routes would require her to leave her secure job, a leap she wasn't willing to make at that time. Among the things she did pursue was receiving her Holistic Health Coach Certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. This was a one-year online program that teaches different dietary theories through a blend of psychology and nutrition. This year of studying reinforced her love of all things health. She also wrote blog posts and enrolled in personal development classes.
Step 1 was exploring her interests. Step 2 was being more money conscious. She had to come to terms with that fact that the new career path was less lucrative than her current career path. It's definitely hard to separate from the idea that money is not the only (or a good) measure of success. Transitioning from the academic world of high school and college where all achievements are assigned a numerical grade, it seems natural that another numerical ranking (salary) tends to take its place as a measure of accomplishment.
However, once the decision was made to make the jump, there were still some other struggles to overcome. This is the one time she remembers having contention with her parents about her career. They were proud of telling people that their daughter was an engineer. They were relieved to know she was going to retire with a good sum of money. Naturally, as parents do, they were initially worried about their daughter not being able to live on her own. Catie explains how she was gung-ho to accept the very first job offer she received after deciding to leave engineering. Her parents understandably thought this was rash. However, once they could see she had put in a lot of thought and done a lot of homework, they slowly came around to the idea but still encouraged her to wait for the right job offer.
Then there's the pesky idea of being judged that I think most of us deal with. Catie describes that engineering used to validate the need to look smart. She enjoyed looking smart. Who doesn't? By saying you're an engineering, it was an easy way to appear smart without people having to get to know you. To be clear, Catie is still very smart but she says it's only been about the past 5 months where she's finally felt okay to stop telling people, "I work at a restaurant but I used to be an engineer." She also enjoyed the aspect of engineering that made her feel unique—being in a man's world. It felt like she was helping to bring women into this uncharted territory. Approval from others shouldn't be a reason for doing things. Obviously, easier said than done.
Another trait I admire about Catie—the fact that she was willing to be flexible and let her new journey change. She started out with a vision in her mind that she was going to be in her words "Catie Cohen, the health coach, changing women's lives, helping them love their bodies and not fight with food." She also somewhat thought that she would be paid really well to do it and not have to worry about money. She talks about gaining her first few clients. It didn't go as easily as she had hoped. Charging money for her services always felt awkward and she always had a nagging insecurity that she wasn't being as effective as she wished.
Slowly, she started spending less time on her own wellness business and more time at Pondicheri. At first, she told people she was leaving engineering to start her own business and her job at Pondicheri was something to pay the bills. She progressed from counter server to someone taking ownership over tasks using organizational skills and leadership. She literally enjoyed going to work, something she hadn't thought possible before. Based on this new enthusiasm, she shifted to give more energy to the restaurant and less on things she found she didn't like as much—yoga teaching and health coaching. She realized she didn't need to desperately overload her plate to prove something to everyone skeptical of her job transition. She could slow down and focus on the one or two things that interested her.
She was able to discover that working at a restaurant or café was a great way to insert yourself into people's health routines—the goal she was looking for all along. The idea of being part of people's day and getting to show them good food that also makes you feel good, really tied it all together.
What went from a very clear thought of become a health coach has turned into a go with the flow career that is all things food. There's so much that she wants to learn about food and new things that she wants to do all the time. She describes it as "dabbling". She recently has been into bread, she even brought me some homemade sourdough during our interview! Lately, she's just been trying new things as they come up if they sound interesting—like the catering—but she's also not necessarily seeking things out. One day I'll have to ask what it's like to be go with the flow.
My final discussion point is around work-life balance because it's something that I'm fascinated and conflicted by. I think there's two ways to look at it and the pendulum swings on which way I feel. The first way is that "work" and "life" are two separate entities. You have a career that you can at least tolerate and maybe find somewhat interesting. But mostly, it's just a means to be able to do the other things you enjoy in life.
On the other hand, there's the type of people I'm often envious of that seem to have found their one passion in life that they can dedicate everything to (musicians, CEOs, doctors, etc.). They don't need work-life balance because they are okay with their work being their life because it's something that contributes to society in a way that fulfills them. I can feel jealous of these people at times because it seems that it's very clear how their work is beneficial and they don't have to go through the existential crisis of "does what I spend most of my time on even matter."
After a long essentially monologue of a question, I finally let Catie answer. I'm curious as to her take on the topic of work-life balance. I want to know how she feels about potentially having to sacrifice a lot of her time and other interests for her new career, since it's very self-made at this point. Does she feel as if she's found her passion?
She expresses that she can also see it both ways but that her perspective has evolved since first entering the work force. When she was working as an engineer she definitely saw the need for a balance. She wanted more life and less work. But now in her new career, she's so excited to be doing what she's doing, she says she doesn't think about it as much and more just thinks about rest. She's also really thankful that what she does for a living, complements what she enjoys doing outside of work. She doesn't view her career as one specific thing but more as a broad interest –food.
"I enjoy bringing food to people in some way shape or form that feels good to them. To me there's so many facets of that I don't feel like I'm going to dedicate my life to this one thing and it's going to be this solitary one thing and I'm never going to stray. I feel like there's all these little branches. To me it feels very broad and exciting and I really like the idea that my work and my life fold in together."
Bonus Content: Volunteer Work
While this doesn't necessarily go with the theme of the piece, I'd like to quickly highlight the volunteer work that Catie is involved in. This is just another way that she takes her passion of food and demonstrates another facet of it.
She started an outreach program called "Spread the Health" originally as a project for her personal development class. The initial mission of the program was to teach people in low income situations how to cook plant-based food in a really delicious way. Through her Houston running group, she met Theresa who founded the organization Bel Inizio. According to their website, Bel Inizio "helps disadvantaged women develop self-confidence and life skills through fitness and nutrition. Participants train to complete a 5K, which helps prepare them for the ultimate race — the race for a better life."
Through Theresa, Catie was introduced to the organization Brigid's Hope which serves low income women who are transitioning from incarceration for non-violent crimes to self-sufficiency. This group of women experienced the first Spread the Health program cooking class. After the success and interest in the first class, Catie started to expand the organization's reach by teaching more classes for Brigid's Hope as well as yoga, nutrition, and cooking classes at Santa Maria another Houston based recovery center.
Catie describes her outreach as not having one specific focus, she just wants to help women who have had other circumstances in their life have access to all of the beneficial things holistic health has to offer. I've had the privilege of helping out during some of the Spread the Health events and it's amazing to see Catie in action. Her enthusiasm and ability to engage with these women is really remarkable. It's always interesting to see the skeptical looks of the women when they hear the food will be prepared without any animal products. By the end of the evening though, everyone is having a fun time, asking questions, and pleasantly surprised at how good the food tastes and how affordable it can be. Despite the hardships that these women have endured in their life they are always very friendly and very engaged. I ask Catie how she thinks she's able to connect so well with these women especially since she's introducing a foreign concept that's bound to garner skepticism. She's a little uncomfortable that I'm forcing her to compliment herself but she attributes it to the fact that she's able to introduce humor and make the atmosphere light-hearted and fun. She also emphasizes how much she respects what these women are accomplishing. She realizes when comparing her "hardships" to what they've been through, it's nothing, but they're still able to be very happy and grateful people. "Their mentality is amazing. I think that they know that. I'm not there looking down on them. I admire what they have and I want it."

Welcome to my new blog post series! I'm pretty excited about this project. I even bought a Dictaphone. The plan will be to interview my friends on a myriad of topics and share what I've learned in an article. The purpose of this is two-fold. I've always enjoyed writing. Most of my writing has been in the form of journaling and I was looking for a way to expand my writing repertoire. Secondly, one of my favorite things in life is learning new perspectives and listening to other people talk. Put me in a large or small group of people and I would MUCH rather ask others questions about themselves than talk about myself. I like to absorb information. I've always been inquisitive. I listen to potentially an unhealthy number of podcasts and interview segments. This seemed like the perfect way to be able to all of things I love—listen, learn, and write.
The first series of posts are going to focus around the theme of Career and Life Decisions. I chose this as it's been a topic on my mind lately after having recently passed the 4-year mark post-grad. I've now been in the real world longer than I've been in college. It also doesn't help that my supervisor keeps asking where I see myself long term. I DON'T KNOW. DOES ANYONE KNOW???
But to be honest, it's something I've always struggled with. Ever since high school trying to decide what to major in, to college trying to decide which career sector I wanted to go into with my degree, to post grad thinking "is this what I want to do with the rest of my life", I've always been unsure.
When I look around at all of my peers it's hard not to get the feeling that everyone else has it all figured out, at least on the surface. Do they really have it all figured out? How? Why not just ask them?! I'll discover one of two things with this project—either everyone else doesn't have it all figured out and I can take some solace in that or maybe they sort of do and I can learn a new perspective or a better understanding of what motivators they have for decisions. Then, I can share what I've learned with others and hope they find it as interesting as I do.
I conducted my first interview with my lovely friend, Catie Cohen. She was so enthusiastic and willing to participate in my project and only a little bit nervous around the Dictaphone. Catie is a former chemical engineer turned Restaurant Front of House Manager, although she doesn't refer to herself as a former engineer anymore (more on that later).

Q: Issue with jQuery Lavalamp active state Good Afternoon,
I am having a hard time setting the navigational links to active state when a user clicks on the link.
I have a header.php file that holds the nav and lavalamp id.  The header.php is included on each page. When I click on the "about" page link, the line still remains on its default position which is on the "home" link.  I am running this in php if that helps.
Appreciate your help...Thank you.
The header.php consists of the following html:

A: Use a PHP if/else statement to add the class "current" to the li you're on.
something like:
<li <?php if(strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"index.php") !== false) echo 'class="current'; ?>>HOME

for each li, change "index.php" to whatever the filename it is. This is pretty inefficient... you could also do it like this:
<?php
$parts = Explode('/', $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
$currentFile = $parts[count($parts) - 1];
?>

and then in each LI you can say:
<li <?php if($currentFile == "index.php") echo 'class="current'; ?>>HOME

Macon Featured In International Tv Show--Macon Telegraph
An international television show featuring some of the most musically exciting cities in the world began filming in Macon this week.
Airing on Public Broadcasting Service next spring, the 30-minute episode of "Music Voyager" will feature Macon and Athens. The show is produced by Tantra World Wide Inc. and is distributed by American Public Television.
For the past two days, Tantra's camera crew has explored Macon's roots in soul, classical and rock music with local ambassador Roger Riddle.
Scenes from the episode may feature a conversation with Otis Redding III, lunch with Mama Louise at H&H Restaurant, a tour of The Big House Museum, a strings concert at Mercer University's new Robert McDuffie Center for Strings and a concert by local bands at Cox Capitol Theatre.
Lisa Love, director of music marketing and development for Georgia's tourism department, helped arrange video shoots across the state for Tantra. Macon was the second stop after Atlanta.
"They're just blown away (and) completely astounded at the music and heritage and the thriving music communities that are here in Georgia," Love said.
Farook Singh, chief executive officer of Tantra, has filmed 40 such episodes around the world but said he was surprised by Macon's musical heritage.
"We knew all the artists, but we didn't know they all came from this area, and that was the coolest thing," Singh said. "There's a string here. That string of everybody knowing everybody and sharing their creativity is very different."
Macon's musical narrative is "like a tree with so many branches," Singh said.
At The Big House Museum, the show's host, Tacuma Bradley, said he was excited to explore the stomping grounds of the Allman Brothers Band. He said "Music Voyager" aims to give a glimpse of a city's underbelly -- its untold stories.
"I think a lot of people overlook that fact that Georgia has such a rich musical history," Bradley said. "A lot of people focus on Memphis and what's going on there, but there's a lot that's happened here, and it seems like there's a lot that's happening here. ... We don't want to just focus on the past."
Local bands Widow Pills and Back City Woods performed at Cox Capitol Theatre on Wednesday night, giving the crew a taste of Macon's current music.
On Thursday the crew will leave for Athens to film the second half of the episode. Singh said the crew also plans to visit Columbus.
Valerie Bradley, director of communications for the Macon-Bibb County Convention & Visitors Bureau, said the episode will allow Macon's music story to be told in a unique way.
"It's something that we'll able to be see here domestically and also internationally," Bradley said of the episode. "So, someone overseas who may not be as familiar with Macon are able to, through the story, learn about Macon."

Biodiversity: Species and Human Dimensions
The edge of the cloud forest beneath Volcán Cacao (elevation: 1,659 meters or 5,442 feet)
In a word, the biological and human complexity of ACG and its surrounding communities is complex. In addition to being a globally significant "biological hotspot" – a place that is crammed with unique wildlife, plants and fungi – ACG is also very much a story of human intervention and perturbation. Very little of ACG is pristine in the sense that it is has never experienced human influence. Pottery shards and arrowheads have been found as high as 1,200 meters (4,000 feet) on the side of Volcán Cacao, and beautiful, mysterious petroglyphs can be found on the west side of Volcán Orosi. Spanish colonization presaged extensive deforestation, eradication of indigenous peoples, and an era of cattle ranching and cultivation on the drier Pacific side of today's ACG. Yet parts of ACG are truly pristine, such as the cloud forests and remnant patches of primary forest, while the rest of ACG and its species are on a vigorous path to restoration, steadily "rewilding" themselves with the benefit of time and careful conservation management. Undoubtedly, the existential threat of climate change—more severe droughts and storm events—is affecting many species groups, both terrestrial and marine. For those species that can move about, ACG provides a big enough landscape to support their adaptation. But we also know that we will lose species in a too-rapidly changing climate; many highly specialized and highly integrated species assemblages will simply unravel. In the subpages here, you can learn much more about the complexity of ACG, both its rich biological heritage and the role of people on the landscape and in the evolution of ACG's biodevelopment.

My Coffee Class (simplified):
class Coffee {
    constructor() {
        this.name = ""
        this.price = 0
        this.time = 0.0
        this.imgsrc = ""
        this.strength = 0
        this.sugar = 0
        this.caffeine = 0
        this.values = []
        this.titelArray = ["caffeeine", "sugar", "time", "strength"]
        this.colors = ["#e34444", "#7944e3", "#44e35c", "#e3d044"]
    }
    setValues(name, price, time, strength, imgsrc, sugar, caffeine) {
        this.name = name
        this.price = price
        this.time = time
        this.strength = strength
        this.imgsrc = imgsrc
        this.sugar = sugar
        this.caffeine = caffeine
    }
    setCoffeeValues() {
        this.values = [this.caffeine + "mg", this.sugar + "g", this.time + "s", this.strength + "/5"]
    }

}

The coffees will be pushed into the shopping cart list in the coffee machine like below:
coffeeMachine.shoppingCard.list.push(coffeeMachine.coffeeList.list[index])

Init the coffees
coffeeLatte.setValues("Latte Macchiato", 1.60, 30.0, 3, "../pics/coffeeLatte.png", 18, 75)
        coffeeBlack.setValues("Black Coffee", 1.20, 20.0, 5, "../pics/coffeeBlack.png", 4, 95)
        coffeCappunchino.setValues("Cappuccino", 1.60, 35, 2, "../pics/coffeeCappuchino.png", 12, 64)

The update shopping cart method in the coffee machine class (the prolem):
This is how I generate the beans for each coffee in the list:
  for (let i = 0; i < this.shoppingCard.list.length; i++) {
            for (let j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
                document.getElementsByClassName('beans')[i].innerHTML += `<img class="bean" src="../pics/bean.png"></img>`
            }
        }

In the code below I set the opacity to 100% for the one <= coffee.strengtha and the opacity for the others to 30%:
for (let i = 0; i < this.shoppingCard.list.length; i++) {
    for (let j = 0; j < this.shoppingCard.list[i].strength; j++) {
        document.getElementsByClassName('bean')[i].style.opacity = "1"
        if (j <= this.shoppingCard.list[i].strength){
            for (let k = this.shoppingCard.list[i].strength; k < 5; k++) {
                document.getElementsByClassName('bean')[k].style.opacity = "0.3"

            }
        }
    }
}

After adding a few coffes to the shopping cart this happens:

A: I think this can be a solution for you problem
for (let j = 1; j <= this.shoppingCard.list[i]; j++) {
    for (let k = 0; k < 5; k++) {
        if (k + 1 < this.shoppingCard.list[i].strength) {
            document.getElementsByClassName('bean')[0].children[k].style.opacity = "1"
        } else {
            document.getElementsByClassName('bean')[0].children[k].style.opacity = "0.3"
        }
    }
}

A: Not sure what all the loops are for, give this a try:
for (let i = 0; i < this.shoppingCard.list.length; i++) {
  let strength = this.shoppingCard.list[i].strength;
  for (let j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
    document.getElementsByClassName('bean')[i * 5 + j].style.opacity = j <= strength ? "1" : "0.3";
  }
}

BEIJING (AP) — The mysterious respiratory illness that has infected dozens of people in a central Chinese city is not SARS, local authorities said Sunday.
The 2002-2003 SARS epidemic started in southern China and killed more than 700 people in mainland China, Hong Kong and elsewhere. Fears of a SARS recurrence arose this month after a slate of patients were hospitalized with an unexplained viral pneumonia in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province.
As of Sunday, 59 people were diagnosed with the condition and have been isolated while they receive treatment, according to the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission. Seven were in critical condition, while the rest were stable.
The commission said in a statement that initial investigations have ruled out SARS — severe acute respiratory syndrome — as well as Middle East respiratory syndrome, influenza, bird flu and adenovirus.
The commission previously said the condition's most common symptom was fever, with shortness of breath and lung infections appearing in a "small number" of cases. There were no clear indications of human-to-human transmission.
Several patients were working at the South China Seafood City food market in sprawling Wuhan's suburbs. The commission said the market would be suspended and investigated.
Hong Kong's Hospital Authority said Sunday that a total of 15 patients in Hong Kong were being treated for symptoms including fever and respiratory infection after recent visits to Wuhan.
Hospitals and doctors have been directed to report cases of fever in anyone who has traveled to Wuhan in the past 14 days, Hong Kong's health chief, Sophia Chan, said Sunday.
The hospital authority said it has activated a "serious response" level to curb spread of the infection. Chan warned Hong Kong residents against visiting wet markets and eating wild game in mainland China.
The World Health Organization said it was closely monitoring the situation and maintaining contact with Chinese authorities. No travel or trade restrictions are necessary at this time, the WHO said.


Pete Buttigieg on Meet the Press. April 7, 2019.
We live in an era where most people try to outdo each other in outrageousness. What started out in pop culture has spread into politics, with politicians of every stripe – all the way up to the White House – going to extremes in speech and policy.
That's what makes a politician who speaks in measured tones these days so refreshing. Take Pete Buttigieg for example. (Yeah, I get it…I'm tired of talking about him, too.) Because the presidential candidate isn't a firebrand when he speaks – fewer calls for wacky, sweeping legislation than most, and certainly no skateboarding or hopping on tables – that some people have mistaken him for a moderate.
Andrew Sullivan called the mayor of South Bend, Indiana "a modest, reasonable pragmatist, and a near parody of normality" and remarked that Buttigieg "has carved out a moderate place in a field careening leftward." Politico has even noted that some conservatives have praised Buttigieg.
I'm reminded of something I heard earlier this week on David French and Alexandra DeSanctis' podcast, Ordered Liberty. French made the comment that some people have told him that they thought he was a moderate because of his measured tone, even though French is a reliable conservative.
The truth is this: too many people are confusing moderation in tone with moderation in policy. Buttigieg has called for abolishing the Electoral College, setting up single-payer health care, and packing the Supreme Court, but just because he's a firebrand – and conservatives have noticed it – that doesn't mean that the candidate is in the center politically.
Have our politicians amped their rhetoric up so high that otherwise intelligent people mistake a measured tone with a moderate outlook? Have we confused moderation in tone with moderation in policy so badly that a run-of-the-mill left-winger can look like a centrist? If so, we may be in worse shape than I thought.
Can We Relive the Excitement of the Space Race?
In the wake of the Mueller report, Donald Trump's only chance is if Democrats nominate another candidate as bad as Hillary.

Losing weight is a big part of our culture – there are many of us who are constantly seeking out what it is that we want to get our hands on in regards to our needs and we may be looking at everything that may be waiting for you in regards to your situation. How can you find more effective ways to deal with weight loss? Can you actually use alternative therapies like hypnosis in order to work toward losing weight for good?
Before you start this process, be sure that you take a look at the reasons that you're going to want to try and lose weight. There is so much to be said about this whole thing that you want to be certain that you can do whatever is necessary to stay ahead of the problems that may come up during your journey. Be sure that you want to lose weight for the right reasons – by working out the information that may be involved and by seeking out what you can do to lose weight as well.
Hypnosis has been proven to be a very effective way to deal with weight loss, because it helps you to tap into the issues that you may be struggling with in relation to your subconscious and how you want to deal with food.
Whether you need help curbing your overeating or you just need some more motivation so that you can exercise on a regular basis, you want to be sure that you look at hypnosis as an option that will push you toward your goals in an effective and helpful fashion.
Hypnosis can't be your only way to try and lose weight; just like with communication skills, you need to be sure that you're putting in the hard work associated with making this sort of thing happen effectively. You want to be sure that you're eating a healthy diet and that you're doing everything that you possibly can in order to ensure that, no matter what comes along, you'll be more prepared to keep the weight off for good. That time and effort you put into it, along with the help of hypnosis, can really be helpful as you're working out what it is that you need to do to get your beach body.
Talk to your doctor before you try doing anything related to weight loss. You want to be sure that they can keep an eye on what you need and ensure that you can get the tools that are necessary to make everything work out in a positive fashion. By taking the time to do that and to understand what can be done in terms of your weight loss needs and how you can get ahead of them, you'll notice that you feel that much more confident about how you are losing weight.

Малышева — посёлок городского типа, административный центр Малышевского городского округа Свердловской области России. Относится к Южному управленческому округу.

Расстояние до ближайшей железнодорожной станции 16 км.

История
Летом 1833 года на покосах, принадлежащих Карелину, крестьянину деревни Голендухино Глинской волости Екатеринбургского уезда (ныне южная часть Режевского района Свердловской области), были найдены изумруды. Осенью того же года, крестьяне Глинской волости обратились за билетом, дающим право на добычу самоцветов к представителю Екатеринбургской гранильной фабрики, начальнику горных работ на изумрудных приисках, унтер-шихтмейстеру Портнягину. Однако тот не только не разрешил, но и прошелся по избам, забрав все найденные крестьянами камни. А 1 (13) апреля 1834 года прямо на крестьянских покосах командиром Екатеринбургской гранильной фабрики Я. В. Коковиным был заложен прииск, названный Мариинским, в честь святой Марии Египетской..

С 1834 года Мариинский прииск — составная часть изумрудных копей Урала.

По состоянию на 1 (13) марта 1835 года на Мариинском прииске располагается три здания ("комната", казарма и конюшня) и восемь "нумерованных ям" (шурфов).

К середине XIX века Мариинский прииск по праву считается «лучшим» прииском  уральских изумрудных копей. Несмотря на это, с 1853 по 1899 годы он практически не разрабатывается.

В 1899 году Мариинский прииск усиленно разрабатывается специалистами англо-французской «Новой компании изумрудов». В дальнейшем размах работ на прииске ежегодно снижается, полностью прекратившись в 1910 году.

С 1911 по 1915 годы официальные работы на Мариинском изумрудном прииске не ведутся вообще.

С 1915 по 1919 годы Мариинский изумрудный прииск арендует владелец екатеринбургских камнерезных лавок и мастерских В. И. Липин.

В 1919 году Мариинский прииск, как и другие месторождения изумрудных копей, национализируют большевики.

В 1924 году на Мариинском прииске старатели находят так называемый «Скутинский клад» — чрезвычайно богатое гнездо изумрудов. Найденные изумруды немедленно направляют прямо в Москву, а место находки изучает академик А. Е. Ферсман.

В сентябре 1927 года Мариинский прииск, в связи с десятилетем Октябрьского переворота, переименовывают по имени уральского революционера И. М. Малышева.

В 1930-х годах на прииске возводятся шахты: имени И. В. Сталина, имени С. М. Кирова, а также изумрудоизвлекательная фабрика. Позднее в 1940-х гг. ещё и так называемая «Новая» шахта.

С 1942 года шахты и фабрика поселка имени Малышева входят в систему Государственного горно-металлургического комбината № 3, выпускающего важную оборонную продукцию, так называемую лигатуру — бериллиевую бронзу, которая входит в состав брони советских танков и самолётов.

С 1952 по 1994 годы на Изумрудных копях работает «Малышевское рудоуправление» (с 1994 года — АООТ, чуть позже ОАО «Малышевское рудоуправление»), основное градообразующее предприятие, входящее в состав Первого главного управления Минсредмаша СССР.

С 1920-х годов посёлок имени Малышева входит в состав Асбестовского района, непосредственно подчиняясь Изумрудскому Совету народных депутатов, а с 1936 года — в состав территории города областного подчинения Асбест.

С августа 1964 года Изумрудский поссовет переносится в посёлок имени Малышева, который становится центром территории копей.

В 1967 году посёлок имени Малышева получает статус рабочего поселка, а Изумрудский поссовет становится Малышевским.

С 1996 года посёлок имени Малышева становится центром муниципального образования р.п. Малышева.

9 августа 1996 года Управлением юстиции Свердловской области № 62 зарегистрирован Устав муниципального образования «рабочий посёлок Малышева», в составе рабочих поселков Малышева и Изумруд, поселков Ильинский, Коммунальный, Осиновка, Чапаева и Шамейский.

28 ноября 2001 года законом Свердловской области № 64-ОЗ «Об упразднении отдельных населённых пунктов в Свердловской области» упразднены поселки Коммунальный и Осиновка.

12 октября 2004 года законом Свердловской области № 98-ОЗ «Об установлении границ муниципального образования р.п. Малышева и наделении его статусом городского округа» муниципальное образование «рабочий посёлок Малышева» наделено статусом городского округа, а посёлок Изумруд отнесен к категории сельских населённых пунктов.

22 ноября 2004 года областной закон № 179-ОЗ «Об упразднении п. Ильинский, расположенного в административных границах г. Асбеста» упразднен посёлок Ильинский.

21 июня 2005 года решением Думы муниципального образования р.п. Малышева № 83 утвержден Устав Малышевского городского округа.

С 1 октября 2017 года согласно областному закону № 35-ОЗ статус Малышева изменён с рабочего посёлка на посёлок городского типа.

Общая информация
Датой возникновения первого поселения, на базе которого впоследствии вырос посёлок Малышева, нужно считать 1 (13) апреля 1834 года, когда на месте крестьянских покосов был заложен Мариинский прииск.

В 1927 году Мариинский прииск, названный в честь Святой Марии Египетской, получил имя уральского революционера И. М. Малышева.

С 1996 года посёлок имени Малышева является центром самостоятельного муниципального образования, в состав которого, кроме него, входили: п. Изумруд, п. Ильинский, п. Коммунальный, п. Осиновка, п. Чапаева, п. Шамейский.

Поселки Коммунальный и Осиновка упразднены законом Свердловской области от 28.11.2001 г. № 64-ОЗ «Об упразднении отдельных населённых пунктов в Свердловской области». Посёлок Ильинский упразднен — Областной закон от 22 ноября 2004 года № 179-ОЗ «Об упразднении п. Ильинский, расположенного в административных границах г. Асбеста»

Законом Свердловской области от 12.10.2004 г. № 98-ОЗ «Об установлении границ муниципального образования р.п. Малышева и наделении его статусом городского округа» муниципальное образование р.п. Малышева наделено статусом городского округа. Закон вступил в силу 31 декабря 2004 года.

Поселения, входящие в состав Малышевского городского округа, находятся от р.п. Малышева:
на юг — р.п. Изумруд на расстоянии 4 км, основан в 1832 году;
на север — п. Чапаева на расстоянии 3 км, основан в 1925 году;
на север — п. Шамейский на расстоянии 5 км, основан в 1876 году.

After rendering the below picture in imovie and then in lumafusion the colors are vastly diffrent. Imovie retains the original color but lumafusion does not. What gives?
Post subject: Re: Color space is inaccurate after export.
I'm not sure what happened here, but somewhere along the way the color processing was changed in the Metal rendering engine, and is causing the problem you are seeing. I'm putting in a fix for this for our 1.6.1 update (1.6 is already submitted for review, but we'll release 1.6.1 within the next week or so with some bug fixes including this one).
1.61 is out I just did another test with the same results.

November 17, 2015 – How do you reduce the weight of a spacecraft's underlying structure, while using the same materials as the heavier version and still hold to the same manufacturing schedule?
This month, the engineers who helped answer that question are seeing their hard work pay off. Technicians have finished welding together three cone panels that make up a section of the Orion crew module that will fly beyond the moon on Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1).
Orion's pressure vessel is composed of seven large pieces of aluminum, three of which are the cone panels. The pressure vessel holds the atmosphere astronauts will breathe against the vacuum of deep space, forming the crew compartment. The three panels together form the angled mid-section around the crew module where the windows and hatch are located. While technicians have been joining other elements of the structure together since early September, the cone panels have presented a unique challenge for NASA and Lockheed Martin, the agency's prime contractor for Orion. Engineers who have sought to reduce the crew module's overall weight have encountered and overcome technical challenges.
When the test version of Orion's underlying structure was first constructed, it was heavy. The original conical section was made of six panels and six longerons (thin strips of metal) that required 12 welds to bind them together. Manufacturing the panels took considerable time. The welds also added considerable weight to ensure the seams were strong enough.
As engineers refined Orion's design, building on lessons learned from constructing the initial test article and capsule for EFT-1, followed by diligent analysis and iterative design evaluations, engineers found ways to reduce the number of cone panels and welds, resulting in a needed weight reduction for EM-1.
But reducing the structure's number of cone panels has required considerable resourcefulness and skill on the part of Orion's engineering team.
When technicians began manufacturing the three new cone panels for EM-1, each comprising one-third of the circumference of the crew compartment and each made from a single piece of metal, they encountered an issue during the machining process. The large, curved panels had a tendency to flatten out or relax more than expected.
The Orion team knew the relaxation of the panels posed a threat to the manufacturing process and to Orion's schedule, so they developed a new plan to keep the process on track.
Engineers first standardized the technical steps to make the pieces to exact specifications and divided manufacturing of the three panels among three different expert machining companies. The revised plan enabled unprecedented collaboration across the industry while working on all three panels in parallel, ultimately saving time.
Engineers had to redefine the specific conditions under which welding operations must occur. These included the temperature and humidity in the room, the rotational speed of the weld head and how quickly it moves to join two pieces of metal.
This revised cone panel process isn't the only weight-saving measure being incorporated into future Orion Crew Modules. Besides the reduced number of pieces and welds making up the pressure vessel, Orion's thermal protection system, which protects the spacecraft during its extremely hot and fast reentry through Earth's atmosphere, will be approximately 1,200 pounds lighter during EM-1 than it was during its maiden voyage to space. When completed, the crew module will be approximately 20 percent (4,000 pounds) lighter than it was during EFT-1.
Technicians will perform two final welds to integrate the other elements of the primary structure. After completion, it will be shipped to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will be outfitted and processed in preparation for its launch atop the agency's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. Boosted by the power of the SLS rocket, Orion will travel farther into deep space than a spacecraft built to carry humans has ever been.


(Cleveland) What would the world look like if everyone lived by the "Golden Rule," do to others what you want them to do to you? Perhaps you would see love, compassion and hope that is shared with everyone – young children, the sick, the aging, those at the end of life's journey. Perhaps you would see humanity as it should be – putting oneself aside while focusing on helping others; a circle of caring that continues to grow.
Ask the staff of St. Augustine Health Ministries why the do the work that they do and you will hear, "because I can make a difference in someone's life" or "I'm making a difference in the world." They take care of our most cherished possessions, our loved ones. As caregivers, teachers, housekeepers or support staff, employees leave their own personal concerns at the door to focus on helping someone else in need. They not only come to do their "job," they bring honor and value to the lives of those they serve. They don't do it for the prestige or recognition, they do it because it's the right thing to do.
After a brief visit to the Health Campus, members of the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation were inspired by the love and care shown from staff and residents alike. Following the "Golden Rule," the Foundation made a generous donation to help honor staff through "random acts of kindness". Each month, various departments and staff are awarded gift cards and sweet treats as a way to honor them for making a difference to others each day.
The care that began with the staff to the residents eventually came full circle through the unselfish gift from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation. Alexandra says in her blog, "We hope to enrich people's lives and to inspire others to make a difference." And they have.
St. Augustine Health Ministries and the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation know that every small interaction with someone is an opportunity to have a positive impact. To make someone smile or to share a hug, a laugh and even a tear can do as much for you as it does for them.

Welsh jockey David Probert on course for season's personal best
Bargoed rider hoping Tip Two Win can regain former glories with win at Longchamp

Jockey David Probert has been in fine form (Image: Action Images)
David Probert has reached the 84-winner mark this year and is still firmly on course for a personal best, writes Jim Beavis.
His 2018 2,000 Guineas runner-up Tip Two Win bids to regain his old form in a race at Longchamp on Sunday week. He picked up an injury running in Qatar in the winter, but ran well at Royal Ascot over an insufficient trip. Connections hope that the bounce factor may explain his flop next time out.
Welsh jockey David Probert heads to Germany for country's version of Royal Ascot
His trainer Roger Teal told the Racing Post: "I think the seven furlongs next week will be perfect and we worked him this morning over in Lambourn. David Probert had a sit on him and was happy, so he's working well and I'm very pleased with him."
Hot on the heels of a fine third place in the Lowther at York's Ebor meeting, David Evans ran Good Vibes at Salisbury on Thursday in slightly lesser company, but the filly could only finish sixth of ten.
Though she didn't get the clearest of passages, it was still a disappointing effort. Possibly having had four outings in six weeks is enough for the moment.

Evans had a winner at Lingfield that day, courtesy of The Groove. This durable handicapper was winning for the fifth time since joining the yard a year ago. He began his career over hurdles but didn't take to them, and is much happier without obstacles to face.
Tim Vaughan sent two horses up to Sedgefield on Thursday and one of them, Akkapenko won for the stable at the twelfth time of asking. He was the bottom weight in a moderate race, and justified favouritism quite well. He had a very lowly hurdles rating of 77, but he still only five, so there is still time for improvement.
The Evan Williams stable went close with Timassini, beaten half a length at Uttoxeter when sent off at 25/1. This was a much-improved effort. His owner, Mrs Janet Davies has quite a few decent horses and this one could be a late-developer.

Another near-miss was David Rees' Caveat Emptor at Worcester, who failed by half a length to reward those who backed him into 11/4 favourite, ignoring his 96 length beating last time out. But for a blunder at the last open ditch, he might have won what was only his third steeplechase.
One from Dai Burchell's yard to watch out for is Good Impression, who is impeccably bred but ran 21 times without success before being bought by the veteran Briery Hill trainer. His third run for his new handler saw him finish a fair sixth at a minor Goodwood meeting. You wouldn't want to bet against the canny Burchell squeezing a win out of the horse.
The Bernard Llewellyn pair that fought out a great finish at Chepstow recently, Arty Campbell and Norab, didn't take up their entries at Catterick this week, but the closely-matched pair could meet again at Wolverhampton on Monday evening.

The death of Ferdy Murphy this week reminded us that he was a private trainer before he took out a licence in his own name. One of the best horses he ever handled during that period was Anaglogs Daughter. She was a bold, front-running mare, who acquired a great following as she cleaned up numerous two mile chases on both sides of the Irish Sea.
After she won the Arkle at Cheltenham in 1980 her journey home was deferred so that she could collect the Aynsley China Cup at Chepstow just four days later, with Murphy himself in the saddle.
Chepstow stage their penultimate flat race fixture next Thursday, and Ffos Las have theirs on the Sunday following.

Meet Joanna, our newest Science Cheerleader. Joanna is a rookie cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens (the Ravens have 6+ cheerleaders pursuing science/tech careers!). Joanna joined the Science Cheerleaders when we kicked off the Philadelphia Science Festival with the Philly Phanatic and the Mayor of Philly!
S.C.: Joanna, what turned you on to science and when?
Joanna: My Senior year of high school I took Earth and Space Systems Science as an elective and fell in love right then. I had never taken so well to any other subject in school. I completely understood the processes and material I was taught and knew that I would like to study some type of earth science in college.
S.C.: What is your degree in and from where?
Joanna: I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology with a minor in Meteorology from Marshall University. I would love to go through grad school at some point. But right now I am focusing on moving up in my career and the company I work for.
S.C.: Favorite and/or least favorite courses you took to prepare for your degree?
Joanna: Favorite was definitely Geomorphology in part because I had a great professor and he made it very easy to understand the scale processes we were being taught. Almost all geology classes at Marshall required camping field trips and the geomorphology camping field trip was the best. We went to the Shenandoah National Park where we would go to the overlooks and study the large landscapes and the beautiful rolling hills and tall mountains. It was a great experience! It is hard to pick my least favorite course I had to take, but definitely the course I had the hardest time with was Physics 2. Fortunately, I had a great tutor that helped get me through it!
S.C.: How long have you been cheering for the Ravens?
S.C.: Which came first? Your interest in science or cheerleading?
Joanna: Definitely cheerleading. I have been a dancer since I was 5. I have been on many different dance teams and competed in many different competitions, but my greatest accomplishment was when I received that Bachelor of Science degree!
Joanna: It really depends. People tend to not take me too seriously; I am a blonde-haired, bubbly gal. You cannot blame people for judging you upon appearance because we all do it; it is part of our society. In my case stereotypes fuel my success. People never expect me to be a scientist, they never expect me to have a science background. It is a great feeling when I tell people I am an Environmental Scientist because the reaction is always a rewarding experience. The second people find out I am a scientist and have a science degree they take me seriously. Opinions can be easy to sway, and I assume I will be breaking stereotypes most of my life.
S.C.: How did your fellow cheerleaders accept your interest in science?
Joanna: They are proud and impressed. We are all professional and successful women and men and we all support each other in our careers, education and goals!
S.C.: Glad you mentioned the men. I had no idea there were ANY professional, male cheerleaders. I understand the Ravens have them! I'll be interviewing those men soon! In the interim, do you have any advice for youngsters who might feel torn between following one dream (cheerleading, etc) and following another (a STEM career)?
Joanna: You can have it all! There is no reason why someone pursuing science in college and as a career cannot be a cheerleader. There are plenty of us college and NFL cheerleaders who are in pursuing STEM careers. It takes hard work and long hours to do both but it is so rewarding.
S.C.: Along these lines, what advice would you give your 12-year-old self?
S.C.: What are your plans for the future?
Joanna: I plan on being very successful in my professional, cheerleading and personal life. I plan on never losing touch with my hardworking-self. Nothing comes too easy and being a dancer my entire life and studying science have proven that to me. Hard work pays off.
Joanna: I don't even know where to begin. It is hard to rank my experiences. My few favorites were performing at NFL halftimes with my college dance team, traveling to nationals and competing on the national level in Daytona, FL, and of course making the Ravens Cheerleaders. One of my goals in life was to become an NFL cheerleader and there is nothing more rewarding then chasing your dreams and reaching your goals!
Joanna: Giving my capstone presentation. Senior year geology majors are required to work on a final project in order to complete credits for graduation. For my capstone I did a meteorology internship at a local news station and also worked on and completed Flash Flood Potential Impact Maps for the National Weather Service in Charleston, WV. My entire college career led up to that point. I had worked extremely hard and felt such relief when I completed my capstone(s) and was able to present my accomplishments to my professors. I received an 'A' for my Capstone Experience and I felt I could accomplish anything after completing all of that.
S.C.: Anything you'd like readers to know about you?
Joanna: Something interesting about me is that I have 4 sisters, one being my identical twin sister. I am extremely close with my sisters and my parents; they support me through everything and helped me excel in college, getting a job and making the Raven Cheerleaders! My most memorable science memory is camping with my best friend and digging for minerals in Hiddenite, NC. It's so much fun going on geology excursions!
Kim and Kelly: Twin Philadelphia Eagles Science Cheerleaders!


 We are sure you are all more than aware of the big news that the queen of the noughties Paris Hilton has launched her very own collection with our favourite sponsors Boohoo. Continuing to carry the personal brand name "Rich Barbie" the collection is everything and more that you would expect from Paris. As you know Boohoo are one of Flourish's favourite brands to collab with so this is very exciting!
Of course hearing the women herself was going to be in a few hours reach of us was an invitation that our favourite sisters could not refuse! On the 26th June the girls stepped on the plane and headed for Paris.
As Paris Hilton was the face of this huge worldwide Boohoo campaign they were invited to join her along with many other A-list guests to celebrate Paris' success in the luxury Hotel Le Marios in Paris. Paris rocked up with her shades on and ready to party as she performed her own DJ set getting the crowd going! Surrounded by pink balloons and friendly faces Ellie and Daisey partied all night long with the Tantot sisters singing along as noughties rapper Ja Rule performed all his golden oldies.
Finally, let's not forget the highlight of the night for the O'Dolls, meeting Paris herself and getting that perfect insta snap. Of course they're all looking like the sass queens they are!

Q: SQL ordering before select I have table fields with student id, and date of birth i want to select oldest student from the table. I just want one student at time. I wrote this query
SELECT studid FROM student ORDER BY dob ASC LIMIT 1;

but it gives me another student id. How to fix this? How to Order table before select in one query?
I also tried ORDER BY dob DESC but the problem is same.
dob data type is datetime

A: SELECT studid
FROM student
HAVING date of birth = MIN(date of birth)

Or
SELECT studid, MIN(date of birth)
FROM student

A: Try This
select top 1 studid from student order by dob asc

Q: Labeling only one duplicate attribute without editing original data in QGIS I have several points (e.g. 4 bus stop positions) in one area. They all belong to the same station, so they all have the same "name" attribute. To avoid a mess of labels showing all the same name I only want to label one feature.
I don't want to create new (virtual)layers or columns in my file to keep it simple and universal to use; Just use them as they are. So an expression should do it.
Data is taken from OSM (Geofabrik).

A: You can achieve something like in the picture just below by using some expressions without editing any of your data. Just use them as they are.

Follow the steps below and adjust them to your personal setup if you need to.
Adjust osm_id (must be a unique identifier like fid or similar) or name (the label you wish to display) if needed.
1. Filter within the "label with" field
Fill the label with field with the following code:
Case When
array_find(array_agg("osm_id",group_by:="name"),attribute($currentfeature,'osm_id')) = 0
Then
"name"
else
''
end

For this to work it is necessary that your data has an (additional to name field) unique field, like an ID.
Explanation:
array_agg() groups all the features in this layer by its name and fills an array with their ID. array_find() now looks for this ID of the current feature (like a loop for each feature) by using attribute($currentfeature, 'ID'). The feature only gets a label if it is the first one within this array =0.
Keep in mind this can lead to non-labeld stations when for example two bus stations have the same name but are 1000km apart.
2. Optimize label position
If you want to label it within the centroid of these grouped points you can use data defined positioning and enter the following code:
Case
When
area(bounds(transform(convex_hull(collect($geometry,group_by:="name")),layer_property(@layer_name, 'crs'), 'EPSG:3395'))) < 10000
Then
x(centroid(convex_hull(collect($geometry,group_by:="name"))))
Else
x($geometry)
End

Respectively replace x with y....
Explanation: OSM-Data is not consistent. It is possible that two bus stops, spread over 1000km apart do have the same name. To prevent labels from showing up in the middle of nowhere we will only merge stations within a convex hull area smaller than 10000m². Choose a fitting CRS for your area and replace EPSG:3395 with your choice.

3. Create different styles for different classes
To get different label styles for different classes, for example show a train station with a bus stop (both having the same name) larger than a bus stop only you can do the following:
Use data defined overwrite for your style (in my example the font-size) and enter the following code:
coalesce(
Case When
array_contains(array_agg("name", group_by:="name", filter:="fclass" LIKE '%rail%'), attribute($currentfeature,'name'))
= true
Then 33 Else NULL End,
Case When
array_contains(array_agg("name", group_by:="name", filter:="fclass" LIKE '%ferry%'), attribute($currentfeature,'name'))
= true
Then 88 Else NULL End,
Case When
array_contains(array_agg("name", group_by:="name", filter:="fclass" LIKE '%tram%'), attribute($currentfeature,'name'))
= true
Then 23 Else NULL End,
Case When
array_contains(array_agg("name", group_by:="name", filter:="fclass" LIKE '%bus%'), attribute($currentfeature,'name'))
= true
Then 9 Else NULL End,
NULL
)

Keep in mind the order of this list; coalesce() will only return the first value which is not null.
Explanation:
array_agg() generates an array with a filter on the class. So this array will only contain station names of e.g. bus stops. If the current feature name is within that filtered array it returns true. Since we already filtered features showing up above (label with field) this will have an effect to the only one remaining.
4. Adding Callout Lines
You can now also add callout lines to connect your centered label with the associated stops. Add a geometry generator-expression to your symbology and set it up as lines. Use this expression:
make_line(make_point($x,$y),make_point(x(centroid(convex_hull(collect($geometry,group_by:="name")))),y(centroid(convex_hull(collect($geometry,group_by:="name"))))))

5. Adding Center Symbol
In addition to the callout lines you can also add a center symbology. Add a geometry generator to your expression and set it up as point. Use this expression:
centroid(convex_hull(collect($geometry,group_by:="name")))

6. Your symbology setup now looks something like this:

7. Hints:
Be aware that all this will slow down rendering of your map. You might want only use parts of this answer or only use it at certain scales. Also, if editing your layer or data is an option, you might want to take a look at alternatives below.
8. Alternatives:
If you are ok with creating new layers or editing data check out this: Show only one label for multiple points with same value in QGIS

There are significant gaps between the progress of those who are most likely to be left behind and everyone else. However, these gaps are often masked by a reliance on global averages. This chapter provides an analysis of disaggregated current and historic survey data, which shows that progress on birth registration coverage for the poorest, least educated and those living in fragile and conflict affected areas has not kept pace with the rest of the population. This has resulted in increasing inequalities, vulnerable populations being left behind and a risk that these populations will be permanently left behind in the future.
This report analyses birth registration related data from the US Agency for International Development (USAID)'s Demographic and Health Surveys[1] and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)'s Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys.[2] This data has been integrated with data from the World Bank's PovcalNet[3] in order to make the observations outlined in Chapter 2 (for a more detailed explanation, see Appendix 2). While this study goes to question the accuracy and usefulness of survey data to monitor CRVS progress (see Chapter 3), the data is the best currently available and does allow for a number of meaningful conclusions to be drawn.

Birth registration and poverty
There are persistent gaps in birth registration coverage between those in poverty and the rest of the population. In the years 2000–2015, birth registration coverage for children aged under five living in the poorest 20% of households increased from 29% to 49%. In contrast, registration coverage for children in the rest of the population increased from 58% to 80% (see Figure 2).
Share chart
Figure 2: Proportion of births registered among children (aged under five), 2000–2015
Between 2000 and 2006, birth registration coverage among children (aged under five) for the poorest 20% of the population remained largely constant, at around 30%, before increasing to 49% by 2015. For the rest of the population, birth registration coverage increased from 59% in the year 2000 to 63% in 2006, then increased to 79% by 2015.

Between 2007 and 2011, the gap between the poorest 20% of households and the rest of the population fell.[4] However, since 2011 the gap has begun to increase again and if trends continue children living in the poorest households will continue to be left behind (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: The gap between the proportion of births registered among children (aged under five) in the poorest 20% and in the rest of the population, 2007–2015
The gap between the proportion of births registered among children (aged under five) in the poorest 20% and in the rest of the population fell from 32% in 2007 to 29% in 2012, before rising again to 30% in 2015.
Birth registration and education level
Increasing gaps in birth registration coverage for children are also evident when considering the mother's level of education. Since 2000, birth registration coverage has improved the most for children with mothers who have a primary level of education, closing the gap between those with higher levels of education. Figure 4 shows that children born to mothers with little or no schooling are being left behind. Almost half of these children remained unregistered during the period surveyed.
Figure 4: Proportion of births registered among children (aged under five) by education level of mother, 2000–2018
Throughout the period, 2000 to 2018, birth registration coverage for children (aged under five) is significantly lower when the mother's level of education is less than primary (compared to all other levels of education), peaking in 2017 at 52%. Birth registration coverage for children (aged under five) is consistently over 90% when the mother has completed higher education.
Source: Development Initiatives based on Demographic Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys.
Similar patterns are seen when the education level of fathers is considered. However, research by Data2x has shown that a child's registration is more likely to be determined by their mother's level of education than by that of their father.[5]
Previous research by DI and the Overseas Development Institute found that subnational financing is not well targeted towards the poorest regions, in addition there is little evidence of a progressive allocation of education resources by governments to the regions with the worst education outcomes and no consistent trend among donors.[6]
The impact of intersecting factors
The poorest people often face multiple and intersecting deprivations, for example poor nutrition and low levels of education are mutually reinforcing and pass poverty from one generation to the next. For birth registration, inequalities are more extreme when low education and poverty levels intersect. The impact of increasing the education level of the mother is lessened for those living in the poorest 20% of households. Figure 5 shows that the rate of registration for the children of uneducated mothers falls a further 10% (compared to Figure 4) if they are also in one of the poorest 20% of households.
Figure 5: Proportion of births registered among children (aged under five) by poverty and education level of mother, 2015
Regardless of the level of education attained by the mother, birth registration coverage for children (aged under five) is lower in the poorest 20% of the population than in the rest of the population. The greater the level of education the greater this gap is. For mothers in the poorest 20% with higher education, birth registration coverage for children (aged under five) is 63%, compared to 90% for the rest of the population.
Women and girls may be especially impacted, as previous research has shown that birth registration is negatively correlated with early marriage, young age at birth of the first child and wider adverse health outcomes.[7]
Geographical location can also have an impact on those already left behind by lack of birth registration, poverty and low education levels. Figure 6 illustrates that the poorest people, living in rural areas with lower levels of education face the greatest challenge and are the populations that development programme and domestic services find arguably the hardest to reach.
Figure 6: Proportion of births registered among children (aged under five) by poverty in rural versus urban locations, 2000–2015
Birth registration coverage for children (aged under five) across the whole population, in both rural and urban areas, has increased throughout the 2000 to 2015 period. Birth registration coverage for children (aged under five) has remained lower in the poorest 20% of the population than the rest of the population, in both rural and urban areas. In 2015, birth registration coverage for children (aged under five) in the poorest 20% of the population in urban and rural areas was 55% and 48%, respectively; and 83% and 75%, respectively, for the rest of the population.
Furthermore, detailed country-level data shows that populations with the lowest levels of birth registration are concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, often in fragile and conflict affected contexts, where extreme poverty persists (see Figure 7). Over 80% of the poorest children aged under five have no birth registration in Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Chad, Zambia, Pakistan, Tanzania, Bangladesh and Nigeria.

Some countries have made improvements in birth registration coverage for the poorest, however significant conflict and civil unrest has resulted in the proportion of registered births falling below 50% in several central African countries, most notably the Central African Republic, Cameroon and Zimbabwe (see Figure 8). There have also been reported decreases in coverage for the poorest in the Democratic Republic of Congo (from 34% in 2000 to 24% in 2015) and even more starkly in Guinea–Bissau where the impact of conflict, corruption and ongoing instability as seen the birth registration rates for the poorest children drop from 41% in 2000 to only 2% in 2015.
There is a growing recognition that – with a third of people in extreme poverty worldwide living in countries with recurrent crisis[8] – there is a need to build greater coherence across development, humanitarian and peace sectors.[9] Recent analysis from DI looked specifically at how two donors (Sweden and the UK) were delivering on this. While there are challenges to integrating approaches there are also clear benefits of joint planning; for example, harmonising approaches between humanitarian, development and peace actors could form the basis of plans to deliver sustainable foundational data systems, such as civil registration, in protracted crisis contexts.[10]
