To my post-menopausal body… I've learnt to love you for your resilience
Rachel Charlton-DaileyFriday 5 Jun 2020 5:59 pm
Up until a few months ago, I had always been pretty accepting – then the menopause came (Picture: Ella Byworth for Metro.co.uk)
I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but over the last few weeks I've grown to accept you, my body, for all you are.
Hormones have thrown a lot at us, but despite it all your resilience and strength have prevailed. It's been a long journey to love you again, but we're getting there.
I can still remember the Sunday morning in November when my husband walked into our bedroom and found me sobbing on the bed, surrounded by crumpled dresses.
I had been trying to find something that would make me feel confident and comfy for a friend's baby's christening
But as I studied my reflection in the mirror in each one, everything just looked wrong. Everything felt wrong, my painful stomach made me look pregnant and frumpy. I felt disgusted by myself.
It is not uncommon for women to struggle to find an outfit for a special occasion – thanks to societal ideals, how a certain body type is idolised and body shaming, we are taught to hate our bodies. But up until a few months ago, I had always been pretty accepting of my own.
Then the menopause came.
At the age of 28, I elected to have a hysterectomy after a decade of excruciating pain caused by my periods and ovulation. From the age of 17, I would menstruate heavily – each time lasting a fortnight. Then, after a week, I'd start ovulating, which was even more painful.
I'd been tested for polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis, and although the results came back negative, I still had pain that matched descriptions of the conditions. I'd tried a whole range of birth control and pain relief, but nothing worked. At my wits' end, I got a hysterectomy.
The worst thing about going through menopause was how my body shape altered (Picture: Rachel Charlton-Dailey)
As I was so young, my doctors didn't want to remove my ovaries for fear of the long-term problems and risks, such as osteoporosis and dementia. But keeping the ovaries meant I still ovulated.
I was given the mini pill and then contraceptive injection, but they didn't stop the crippling ovulation pain, which sent me to A&E twice. So instead, they gave me injections of Zoladex monthly, which nevertheless shut off my ovaries, plunging me into a medical menopause.
Lots of things changed when the menopause hit. My moods transformed at the flick of a switch, my body ached, my sex drive disappeared, I had to change my diet, and all the strain on my body left me constantly exhausted.
But the worst thing about going through menopause was how my shape altered. Having lupus, as well as arthritis and osteoporosis, it's hard enough for me to love you as my body, when you're trying to kill me, but I had made my peace with that. However, now, the menopause had made you unrecognisable.
My already small boobs shrank to pretty much nothing, yet ached constantly. My hips grew rounder and ached too. My stomach swelled, making me look pregnant. Ironic, right?
I wore almost exclusively big and baggy jumpers that hid my shape (Picture: Rachel Charlton-Dailey)
My changing body shape and the effects of the menopause also took their toll on my pre-existing health conditions. My arthritic joints were swollen all the time, so that some days I couldn't even use my phone. My legs and hips became sore from walking and, for the first time in a year, I had to start using my cane to walk again.
Diet-wise, I had to cut out gluten and dairy as they made me bloat even more. Already being a vegetarian by choice, this limited my diet further.
All this extra strain made me permanently exhausted. As my body, you felt alien to me and not like you were mine at all. I felt trapped.
These sudden changes added to my already bad mental health, and convinced me that I was ugly and frumpy. I hated the idea of anyone seeing what my body actually looked like, and wore almost exclusively big and baggy jumpers that hid my shape.
Because of all the hormones and my mind being in the toilet mental health-wise, my relationship with my husband suffered. He was the person I spent the most time with, so he got the brunt of my bad moods. He had to deal with me crying at the drop of a hat, spacing out at times and forgetting the most ridiculously obvious things.
As is common during the menopause, my sex drive hit rock bottom. I had no sexual urges at all and felt incredibly guilty that I couldn't sleep with my husband. At the same time he, fearing rejection, stopped trying to seduce me. This led me to feel unwanted and unsexy, which was ridiculous as it was I who had shut the idea of sex down in the first place.
I forced myself to stop scrutinising myself in the mirror each day (Picture: Rachel Charlton-Dailey)
But then, the sun shone. Literally.
As it started to get warmer again this spring, I realised I could no longer hide in my trusty shapeless jumpers – I had to accept myself. The hotter weather meant I was forced to confront my body or be sweltering all day. And I was sick of hating myself.
It was hard, but sitting down with my husband and explaining how much I was struggling really helped our relationship. While the catalyst for this was trying to accept my body, I'd had the niggling feeling that we needed to be more open for a while. I'm glad I was able to talk to others about my issues.
I forced myself to stop scrutinising myself in the mirror each day, and instead dressed in what I loved, instead of what it made me look like.
But it's lockdown that has really helped with the process and moved it on much quicker than it might've done.
The time alone has made me confront my feelings head on. I knew I couldn't continue hating myself so much. If I wanted to change I had to do it myself. When I had bad thoughts, instead of letting them win I had the time and space to confront them and rationalise my thoughts.
When my mind told me my thighs were frumpy and too big I was able to remind myself of how strong they were. When I agonised over my swollen stomach I was able instead to think about how much I've been through and how much my body continues to push through.

I still have bad days with my body image, especially as – like a lot of people – I've put some weight on during lockdown, but I try not to be as hard on myself.
My relationship with my husband has improved a lot too. Though silly squabbles are expected, we try not to let them escalate and I try not to take my moods out on him.
Over time, I stopped seeing the imagined flaws and remembered just how much you, my body, has got me through. Now I don't hate what you have become, but feel grateful that you have been able to adapt so much to change.
My body has become stronger and I have become even more resilient.

Comparing North and Latin American Economic Performance
Wed, Sep 9 - 9:00 am EST | 3 years ago by Stephen Hicks
What explains the dramatic differences in economic performance between the two Americas?
Take some World Bank GDP numbers – one measure of economic success. We want people to make an adequate living, especially poor people who are struggling. And if we are ambitious, we want people to live the good life – including expensive things like quality food, education, healthcare, and travel.
The GDP data are striking.
Start with a poor country like Bolivia: per capita GDP is $3,000 (USD). But in Paraguay, people are half again as prosperous at $4,500, and Ecuadorans and Peruvians are twice as rich as Bolivians at over $6,000 per year.
Going up the economic ladder: Colombians, Mexicans, Brazilians and Argentines typically make about $8,000, $10,000, $11,000, and $12,000 per year, respectively. Already the difference between Bolivia and Argentina is four times. That is impressive.
Next, the most successful Latin American nation: Chileans produce over $14,000 per capita. Also impressive.
But now compare that to Canada, where the GDP per year is $50,000. And even higher numbers in the United States – over $54,000 per year.
What this indicates is that if we compare the North American nations with the Latin American nations – even the most successful Latin American nations – on average North Americans are about four times as rich as the wealthiest of the Latin Americans.
If one is a Latin American politician or intellectual, no question is more important to answer well. Especially if one is genuinely concerned – and not merely professing to be – with the well-being of one's people.
So let's try out some hypotheses to explain the striking disparities.
Could it be a difference in natural resources? Both North and South America are enormously well endowed with natural resources.
Is it the history of immigration? Both continents have absorbed large numbers of immigrants – people with diverse talents and the energy and ambition to travel far and build new countries.
Or could it be exploitation by rich nations of poor nations, as commentators on the left like to complain? For that to be that case, we'd have to imagine that Canadians became rich by plundering Bolivians and Paraguayans. If that sounds too absurd, then maybe we should consider the reverse hypothesis, as Professor Garett Jones argues, that rich countries haven't been exploiting the poor countries enough.
What of the legacy of colonialism? For better or worse – and sometimes for better – Spanish culture and Portuguese culture were the dominant colonizing influences in Latin America. Yet those colonizing cultures were not especially good on governance issues and on wealth-creation issues. And for better or worse – there are many weaknesses in Anglo culture – North America was fortunate enough to have been colonized mostly by the British.
In his now-classic Empires of the Atlantic World: Britain and Spain in America 1492-1830 (Yale University Press, 2006), Professor J. H. Elliott makes the contrast this way: Spain's empire in America was an "empire of conquest" while Britain's was an "empire of commerce" (p. xv).
So a follow-up question: What ideas and institutions did the British give to the North Americans that enabled them to build successful economies?
Yet it is not only an issue of colonialism many hundreds of years ago. Only one century ago, to take two prominent examples, Buenos Aires and Chicago were roughly equal in size and prosperity. Both were similarly populated by immigrants from everywhere, and both were major transportation and agricultural hubs. Yet as this National Bureau of Economic Research paper by Filipe Campante and Edward L. Glaeser analyzes, the two cities have gone on radically different trajectories – Chicago to greater and greater prosperity and Buenos Aires into slow decline.
Also, recent data indicate that some nation's politicians and intellectuals can transcend their cultures' histories and try a new path. In The Wall Street Journal, David Luhnow argues that taking Latin America as an undifferentiated bloc is now too crude. There are two Latin Americas – one oriented to the Atlantic and big-government-statism and the other oriented to the Pacific and freer markets. Recent growth rates in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela are sadly half of those in Chile, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. What has driven those differences?
I am appealing to Latin American intellectuals and politicians with these questions because in my experience many are open-minded and actively exploring the data and the history. But they are a minority – and the majority seem locked into self-defeating ideologies.
And that ideological battle is the most important. Whether one is able to recognize and exploit natural elements as resources – whether one sees emigration and immigration as good or bad – and what governance and economic system one favors – all depend critically upon broad philosophical assumptions.
So another big-picture factor in explaining the economic differences between North and Latin America is that that the intellectual world – particularly the philosophical world – is split. In modern times it is split between Continental philosophy and Anglo philosophy.
The Continental philosophical tradition takes its bearings primarily from the German and the French intellectual traditions. For that tradition, the major intellectuals are Kant, Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche – and in more recent generations, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, and others. That tradition has a huge impact in Latin American intellectual life but a lesser impact in North American intellectual life.
In North America, a different intellectual tradition is much stronger. That tradition takes its bearings from Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, John Locke, Adam Smith, David Hume, John Stuart Mill, and others. It is a British intellectual tradition. But in Latin America, the Anglos are much less known.
It's the difference between philosophies that center on rational individuals who produce and trade with each other to mutual benefit – and those philosophies that appeal to power conflicts between semi-irrational collectives who exploit each other. That clash of philosophical traditions goes far in explaining the dominance of horrific wars in the twentieth century, and it goes far in explaining the differences in economic performance.
So for those intellectuals and politicians, especially in Latin America, whose education has exposed them only to the nineteenth-century Continentals and the twentieth-century postmoderns: Are you equally paying attention to the extremely potent intellectual tradition that has had enormous success in North America? If your ideology teaches you only to see exploiting collectives everywhere, then you will see wealth as a sign of ruthlessness and poverty as a sign of victimhood. You will then decide either to become a ruthless exploiter yourself or to attack the wealthy on behalf of the poor. Neither strategy leads to economic prosperity.
But if we are really concerned with poverty and more broadly – as all decent people are – with everyone being able to pursue the good life – then we need to be open-minded to other intellectual traditions that may have better answers than, unfortunately, the ones that are taught predominantly in Latin America.

After Steady Growth, Digital Comics Sales Decline in 2015
by Calvin Reid |
Comics and graphic novels are the latest publishing category to show a drop in digital sales. The pop culture trade news site ICv2 has reported that North American digital comics sales in 2015 were $90 million, a 10% decline from the $100 million in sales reported the year before.
The drop in digital comics sales comes after six consecutive years of annual growth in the category. It also mirrors a similar decline in the sales of prose e-books, cited by Association of American Publishers statistics. The ICv2 figures do not include subscription "all you can read" services such as Crunchyroll, Marvel Unlimited, Scribd Comics, Comixology Unlimited and Comic Blitz.
Milton Griepp, ICv2 CEO, said many comics industry observers are blaming the decline in sales on a saturated market for digital devices. He noted that the report cites a slowdown in purchases of new devices, as well as a decline in the number of new comics consumers looking for digital comics content.
"Catalogue purchases of digital comics are less robust, as longer-term digital consumers have already acquired much of the backlist that they want in their libraries," the report said.
Despite the drop, ICv2's report pointed out at last year's New York Comic Con that the comics market as a whole is growing. The report emphasized that digital comics continue to broaden the types of consumers in the comics marketplace and are, in particular, attracting more female consumers to the the category. Also at last year's New York Comic Con, digital comics marketplace Comixology reported that 30% of its new customers are female, up from 20% two years ago.
Digital comics are also credited with increasing the kinds of comics available in the marketplace, adding manga and Euro-comics. They have been instrumental in expanding the selection options in the U.S. marketplace, which has been dominated historically by the superhero genre.

Digital Exhibit: Movement and Resistance in 20th Century Albina
Albina was the center of Black life in Portland through most of the twentieth century. City-led urban renewal efforts and systematic disinvestment by financial institutions have led to displacement of the neighborhood's Black residents.

Dr Changzoo Song studied Political Science and Asian Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. His research interests include the politico-cultural dimensions of nationalism, Korean diasporic communities in the global context. He has been working on the nationalism and globalisation in the context of migrations of Koreans, and he is particularly interested in the following topics: Korean migrations Transnational lifestyles and identity changes of Korean Chinese migrant workers in South Korea, Comparative ethnic return migrations of Korean Chinese and Soviet Koreans to South Korea, Political consciousness and political participation of Korean Chinese migrant workers in South Korea, and Korean/Asian diasporic communities.
Dr. Song's current research projects include the following: (1) the relationship between homeland and Korean diasporic communities, particularly Korean Chinese and Soviet Koreans; (2) the dynamics of nationalism and multiculturalism in Korea; and (3) Comparing ethnic return migrations of Korean Chinese and Soviet Koreans. He has been publishing articles and book chapters these topics. The most recent one includes "Diasporic Return, Homeland, Hierarchy, and Identity: Experiences of Korean Diasporic Returnees in South Korea" (2016); Kimchi, Seaweed and Seasoned Carrot in the Soviet Culinary Culture: The Spread of Korean Food in the Soviet Union and Korean Diaspora" (2016); "Engaging the diaspora in an era of transnationalism: South Korea's effort to build a deterritorialised nation" (2014).
Dr Song is currently supervising several PhD candidates including: Lynne Park, whose thesis deals with the notion of "trust" among Korean migrants in New Zealand; Sarah Lipura, who is working on the Korean international student migration to China, Philippines, and India; Jacob Cowan, whose doctoral thesis is about the internal resistance to the regime in North Korea.
My main research areas include nationalism, nation-building, and changes in nationalist ideology in Korea; Korean diaspora and identity transformations; Korea's diasporic engagement policy and de-territorialisation. I am also interested in language and nationalism issues.

Stony Brook Receives Grant To Study Ocean Twilight Zone
WSHU | By Jill Ryan
Published April 15, 2019 at 10:28 AM EDT
NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research via AP
A bioluminescent jellyfish as seen during a deepwater exploration in the Pacific Ocean.
The ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide than it releases back into the atmosphere. Researchers say that will turn the water acidic someday.
The National Science Foundation has awarded Stony Brook University's School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences more than $400,000 to study that process.
Thousands of feet below the Atlantic Ocean's surface lies a place of mystery to Gordon Taylor and other marine biologists. Taylor, a professor at Stony Brook University and the recipient of the national grant, says this part of the ocean is known as the Twilight Zone.
Light doesn't reach that part of the ocean. Marine life is submerged in darkness, lighting their way with their luminescent bodies.
Taylor says microorganisms and animals produce carbon dioxide from their carbon-rich diets, including the waste of other animals near the surface, but "Only a fraction of, a very small fraction of, what's sinking down through the Twilight Zone makes its way to the sea floor and ends up on the sea bed. So we're really interested in what happens in that zone, and why doesn't more material make it to the sea floor to the animals that live down there."
The three-year study off the coast of Virginia is a joint project between nearby Old Dominion University and Stony Brook University. They expect to start by the fall.

Q: Scraping music playlist info from a website I am trying to scrape the names of artists and songs from the online playlog of a a daily radio show I like. I'd like to eventually use that scraped data to use python to compile a playlist on Spotify or Youtube.
Why won't my code retrieve and print all the songs?
import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup # latest version bs4

soup = BeautifulSoup(urllib2.urlopen("http://music.cbc.ca/#!/The-Signal").read(), 'lxml')

song = soup.find_all("span", {'class': 'logTrackTitle'})

print song

My code

A: Snooping around the page using the Chrome DevTools, you'll see that the 'Broadcast Log' section of the page is actually an iframe with a different URL. That's where the list of songs is "coming from".
Swapping the iframe's URL into your code correctly returns the songs.

10 Simple Typos With Surprisingly Huge Costs
Elizabeth S. Anderson . . . Comments
In April, Hillary Clinton's campaign released a statement assuring supporters that their candidate had "fought children and their families all her career." The typo was soon detected and corrected, reassuring the public that the former senator and secretary of state did not plan to brawl with visiting families on the White House lawn. But typographical errors have caused much bigger and costlier problems than a few embarrassing moments for a politician.
10The Comma That Cost The US Millions
The US government once lost at least $2 million in revenue, all thanks to a comma. The US Tariff Act of 1872 was intended to remove tariffs from "fruit-plants, tropical and semi-tropical for the purpose of propagation or cultivation." But a misplaced comma meant that the act actually referred to "fruit, plants tropical and semi-tropical for the purpose of propagation or cultivation." Instead of merely exempting fruit-growing plants from import duty, the act now appeared to exempt all fruit imports from tariffs.
Fruit importers quickly seized on the grammatical blunder and refused to pay tax on their shipments. The US Treasury, unamused, initially demanded that the tax be paid anyway. Multiple lawsuits ensued and the Treasury ultimately had to reverse its stance and issue refunds worth around $2 million ($40 million today). Congress eventually had to get involved, passing another law clarifying the issue in 1874. A massive investigation eventually pinned the mistake on a clerk in charge of copying the document.
9The Rogue 'S' That Destroyed A Company
In the UK, all limited companies are required to register with a government agency called Companies House, which records financial statements and other corporate information. In 2009, the agency reported that a 124-year-old engineering company called Taylor & Sons Ltd. had closed shop. That came as news to the management and employees of Taylor & Sons, which was still very much a functioning company.
Almost immediately, Taylor & Sons was plunged into crisis. Believing the company had collapsed, customers canceled their orders, contracts were declared void, and suppliers stopped offering credit. To make matters worse, the company's managing director was on vacation at the time, causing clients and creditors to believe he had fled the country as his company collapsed. As its operations slammed to a halt, Taylor & Sons found itself forced to close for real, throwing all 250 employees out of work.
As it turned out, the company was a victim of a typographical error. Companies House actually meant to record the closure of Taylor & Son, which was an entirely different company from Taylor & Sons. Naturally, the now-liquidated Taylor & Sons sued Companies House and won, with a judge ruling the agency completely responsible for the collapse of the £8.8 million company.
8The Pasta Bible
A cookbook published by Penguin Books of Australia, the Pasta Bible caused quite a stir with a recipe for tagliatelle and sardines that called for a generous seasoning of "freshly ground black people." Of course, this was a typo for "freshly ground black pepper" rather than a sudden swerve into spaghetti-based cannibalism. The publishers only discovered the error after a member of the public reported it to them. As a result, Penguin had to destroy over 7,000 copies still sitting in their warehouse. Reprinting the 7,000 copies cost the company about 20,000 Australian dollars ($18,000 US).
Penguin wasn't able to recall the copies that had already been sold, but said they would be happy to provide a replacement for any dissatisfied customers. Penguin executive Robert Sessions told the Sydney Morning Herald that the company was "mortified that this has become an issue of any kind." He went on to say that "why anyone would be offended, we don't know," which was perhaps slightly defensive given that it's not clear anyone actually was offended. Sessions also defended the book's proofreaders, arguing that almost every recipe called for black pepper, making it very easy to miss one little slip.
Incidentally, the actual, non-pasta Bible hasn't been immune to typos either. Most famously, the "Wicked Bible" of 1631 omitted a rather important "not" and ended up proudly instructing believers "thou shalt commit adultery."
7The Great Google Backslash Error
On January 31, 2009, between 6:30 and 7:25 AM (Pacific Standard Time), almost all Google searches returned an error message declaring "This site may harm your computer." Users who forged ahead and tried to access their website of choice were instead met with a warning page cautioning that the site was possibly infected with dangerous programs. Users were then directed to a Google-affiliated site called StopBadware.org to learn more. Naturally, the dramatic increase in traffic quickly crashed StopBadware.org itself, further confusing users.
As it later turned out, the error message was due to a simple typo. Google marks malicious websites and adds them to a database which does not allow users to visit them. In this case, someone at Google mistakenly entered the backslash symbol as a malicious website. This meant that websites with the backslash in their url were automatically marked as malicious sites. Considering that virtually all websites start with http:// or https://, Google had effectively blocked most of the Internet.
6Rogers Communications Vs. Bell Aliant
Yet another comma error caused a dispute between Canadian communications giants Rogers and Bell Aliant. With a final price tag of $1 million Canadian (about $750,000 US), the dispute was caused by a single comma in an agreement between the two companies, which stated that "This agreement shall be effective from the date it is made and shall continue in force for a period of five years from the date it is made, and thereafter for successive five year terms, unless and until terminated by one year prior notice in writing by either party."
Bell took the second comma to mean that the agreement could be canceled at any time by either party, so long as they gave one year's notice. However, Rogers thought the agreement established that it would hold for five years, after which it could be terminated with one year's notice. When Bell tried to break the agreement before the five years were up, a court case ensued. Citing "the rules of punctuation," the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission initially found in favor of Bell. But Canadian multilingualism paid off for Rogers when they produced the French-language version of the contract, which favored their interpretation. As a result, the Commission overturned their initial judgment and ruled against Bell.
5Lockheed's $70 Million Comma
In case you weren't convinced about the importance of good punctuation, here's yet another case involving a gigantically expensive comma. This particular grammatical goof ended up costing aerospace company Lockheed Martin a whopping $70 million in an airplane deal. Back in the late '90s, the company signed a juicy deal to produce C-130J military transport aircraft for an unnamed foreign air force. Because of the long-term nature of the deal, the contract provided for the price of the planes to increase in line with inflation.
The contract even included a handy, inflation-adjusting formula indicating how much the price should rise. Unfortunately, Lockheed Martin managed to misplace a comma in the formula by one decimal place, meaning that the price actually rose significantly less than inflation. The lucky foreign air force insisted that the contract be honored exactly as it was written, causing a hefty dent in Lockheed's profits. While the air force involved was not named, only Britain, Italy, and Australia were known to have orders for the airplane at that time.
4The Chilean Currency Error
If there's one item that should be error-free, it's legal tender. At the very least, the country's name should be spelled correctly. But that was exactly the mistake made in Chile in 2008, when the Chilean mint released thousands of 50-peso coins reading "Chiie" instead of "Chile." Incredibly, the spelling error was only formally reported in late 2009. Although the government declined to take the money out of circulation, they did fire the manager of the mint and several other employees. Meanwhile, many people decided to hang onto the coins in case they became a valuable collector's item, effectively taking many of them out of circulation anyway.
That wasn't even the first time the Chilean mint managed to score a bit of an own goal. On one occasion, a rare medal which was supposed to be kept in the mint's museum was sold to a coin collector. A month later, another medal, this time featuring the face of Chile's then-president Michelle Bachelet, was also sold by mistake.
3Miss Universe Canada 2013
The 2013 Miss Universe Canada contest ended in an emotional victory for 26-year-old Denise Garrido. At least, until 24 hours later, when she was unceremoniously stripped of the crown, which was awarded to contestant Riza Santos instead. As it turned out, Denise was actually the third runner-up in the competition, but had been mistakenly declared the winner thanks to an inexperienced worker who made a single mistake while typing the judges' handwritten scores into a computer. The error was only discovered when the results were independently audited a day later.
The decision clearly shocked Denise, whose family and hometown had been celebrating her victory, but she gracefully handed over her crown nonetheless. The organizers also issued an apology. The typographical error wasn't the first controversy to mar the pageant, which made headlines the previous year when a transgender contestant successfully battled organizers to take part in the contest.
2Google's $497 Million Typo Bonanza
Back in 2010, research carried out by Harvard University revealed that typographical errors in website addresses were netting Google about $497 million per year. The researchers estimated that roughly 0.7 percent of attempts to visit a site ended up with users accidentally visiting a different site with a similar name. For instance, Google's smartest and most charismatic users might want to visit Listverse.com, but end up visiting Listvers.com instead. These "typographical error" sites (often called typosquatting sites) receive up to 68.2 million page views every single day. And about 57 percent of such sites are used to host advertisements, many of them sourced through Google.
While Google has a policy of removing their ads from such sites, they're still flourishing. In fact, if all the typosquatting sites were a single website, it would be the 10th most visited website in the world, surpassing Amazon, Twitter, and MySpace. And $497 million is just an estimate. The value of ads on typosquatting websites could be many times that amount, which is based only on typosquatters of the top 100,000 sites in the world.
1The Sydney Ambulance Tragedy
The only human casualty on this list, an 18-month-old Australian toddler lost his life after the ambulance his doctor had called failed to arrive on time. The doctor had called the New South Wales Ambulance Service and asked for an ambulance to be sent within 30 minutes. However, the operator accidentally hit an extra key, changing a 9:14 AM booking request to read 19:14. After waiting endlessly for the ambulance, the doctor called again and an ambulance arrived roughly an hour after the first call had been placed. By then it was too late. The infant had gone into cardiac arrest and died at the hospital.
The New South Wales health minister made a personal apology for the incident and pledged to reform the ambulance booking system to prevent another such mistake. The planned changes included making the time-logging system of the non-emergency hotline fully automatic. While the triple-0 emergency line (Australia's equivalent of 911) was already fully automatic, the doctor had called the non-emergency 131 line, which allowed times to be individually entered by call operators. The call log would also be crosschecked by a second operator and the scheduled pickup time would be confirmed with the caller.

Home > Village Charities > North Elmham United Charities
Annual report from the Trustees
Charity Registration No 1062812
(Registered in name of "North Elmham Relief in Need")
The current charity is an amalgamation of several old and small charities from the village.
North Elmham Fuel Lands Charity. Circa 1830
Robert Shettles Charity. Circa 1609
John Culling Charity Before 1786
Peter Johnson's Charity. Circa 1833
Gooch's Charity. (3/50ths of) Circa 1634
Martin Phillips (Chairman) Appointed May 2011
Richard Brown (Jimmy) Appointed May 2011
Jennie Borgnis Appointed May 2015
Charitable Objects
Relieving generally or individually persons resident in the parish of North Elmham who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons.
The trustees may pay for such items, services or facilities by way of donations or subscriptions to institutions or organisations which provide or undertake in return to provide such items, services or facilities for such persons.
In exceptional cases the trustees may grant relief to persons otherwise eligible therefore who are resident immediately outside the said parish but in the opinion of the trustees ought nevertheless for sufficient reason to be treated therein or who are located for the time being within the parish.
General charitable purposes
Children / Young people
Elderly / Old people
Makes grants to individuals
Makes grants to organisations
Current formula for grants
Over the past year we have received complaints from several parishioners that the Charities handouts have wandered from the ideals of those registered with the Charity Commission. Many people over the last few years have therefore received payments that were not justified under these ideals, which are for payments to be made to:
"Elderly or Old persons, resident in the parish of North Elmham, who are in conditions of NEED, HARDSHIP or DISTRESS."
Charitable payments are not designed to be given to people as a matter of right, just because they are over 65 or have lived in the village all their lives.
The Trustees have therefore attempted to formulate a framework to try and give the payments to the people who would most benefit from them. We wanted the charity money to be distributed fairly to those who needed it most. The guidelines were to consider payment to be made to parishioners as follows:
People who have lived in the Village for a number of years
Who are over 65
Who live on their own
And who have no source of income other than a State Pension
The Trustees know that changing the old distribution list would upset a few people. We apologise if we have. Also, by using the Elmham News to ask people to apply for the payments if they fell within the guidelines, we were able to add a few worthy recipients to the list that had previously not been considered.
There maybe exceptions to the distribution guidelines and we may not have got it right yet. But we are trying. If you have any further comments or, if you know of someone who would benefit from a future charitable gift, please contact the Trustees with their details.
For and on behalf of The Trustees
North Elmham United Charity

Top 10 health care stocks for the long term
In this article, we will take a look at the top 10 healthcare stocks for the long term. You can skip this part and go to Top 5 healthcare stocks for the long term.
The healthcare sector is one of those rare evergreen areas of the industry that refuses to waver even when the entire market is shaking. According to a Credit Suisse report, the healthcare industry remained strong in 2022 despite the global economic downturn. As of November 28, 2022, the industry's year-to-date return in 2022 was -6.2%, the report said, "significantly outperforming" the broader equity markets.
The report stated that there are several factors that make the health care sector immune from the global macroeconomic situation. The problem of an aging population is one of the main growth drivers in the industry. An aging population is driving growth in pharmaceuticals, healthcare services, and related equipment, and this space is not affected by inflation or price hikes like other parts of the market.
According to McKinsey, health care earnings pools are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4% from 2021 through 2026. The company said inflation and higher interest rates caused it to lower its preliminary estimate of that growth. While McKinsey believes the industry will face challenges in 2023, it said the healthcare space will see a rebound in 2024. Some areas of the healthcare industry are expected to experience rapid growth, according to McKinsey. These include healthcare service providers, software platforms for patient engagement and clinical decision support and specialty pharmacy within pharmacy services.
The healthcare sector will continue to inject billions into its long-term growth pipelines in high-growth streams such as infectious diseases, cancer, virology, and neurological diseases. These investments continue to make the healthcare and biotechnology sectors attractive areas for investors as they can expect a long-term return on their investment.
Healthcare stocks have not had a strong start in 2023, amid growing fears of a resurgence of the coronavirus. Non-essential healthcare companies are losing demand for their products and services during lockdowns as patients postpone or cancel non-emergency appointments.

China Imposing Extra Tariffs on U.S. Soy, Pork and Beef
August 27, 2019 March 21, 2020 dpo-admin
BEIJING – China said on Friday it will impose an extra 5% tariff on U.S. soybeans from Sept 1, and additional 10% duties on U.S. wheat, corn and sorghum from Dec. 15, in Beijing's latest retaliatory trade measures here against Washington.
China will also levy extra 10% tariffs on U.S. beef and pork from Sept 1, according to lists published by the commerce ministry on its website.
The latest tariffs, which follow U.S. duties on $300 billion worth of Chinese goods, threaten to prolong a trade war between the world's top two economies that has raised concerns about slowing global growth.
China last year imposed retaliatory tariffs that remain in place on imports of a range of U.S. farm products, including soybeans and pork. Those duties slashed the export of U.S. crops and prompted the Trump administration to offer as much as $28 billion in federal aid to compensate American farmers for losses.
"Any escalation in the trade dispute with China is a major concern to U.S. pork producers," the National Pork Producers Council said in a statement.
The previous tariff on U.S. pork had been 62%.
China's commerce ministry said on Aug. 5 that Chinese companies had stopped buying U.S. farm products, heating up the trade war between the countries.
Soybean futures were slightly lower after China said it would add another 5% to the 25% tariff it imposed in July 2018.
"To me, it's totally political and all psychological," said Dan Basse, president of consultancy AgResource Co in Chicago. "A ban was more destructive than raising tariffs."

Q: RegEx - Match Words in Same Sentence with Negative Lookaround I'm trying to match a word (good) if another word (bad) does not exist in the same sentence. I want to do this using lookaround as I want only the first word (good) to be included in the captured results.
Here's my regular expression:
(?<!\bbad\b[^.])\bgood\b(?![^.]+\bbad\b)

This does work in all cases except when the word I'm looking for (good) precedes the other word (bad).
So in the following examples, the results are as follows:

*

*TEST 1: A good example of a bad regex. (no matches - PASS)

*TEST 2: A bad example of a good regex. (match found - FAIL)

*TEST 3: A bad example. A good regex.   (match found - PASS)

*TEST 4: A good example. A bad regex.   (match found - PASS)

Can someone please point me to what I'm missing here? Here's my test on regex101.com.

A: You may use this regex:
(?:^|\.)(?:(?!\b(?:bad|good)\b)[^.])*(\bgood\b)(?![^.]+\bbad\b)

RegEx Demo
RegEx Details:

*

*(?:^|\.): Match start position or a dot

*(?:(?!\b(?:bad|good)\b)[^.])*: Match a non dot character if doesn't have word good or bad ahead. Repeat this match 0 or more times

*(\bgood\b): Match full word good

*(?![^.]+\bbad\b): Negative lookahead to assert that we don't have one or more non-dot characters followed by the word, bad ahead of the current position

A: If a quantifier in the lookbehind is supported, you can optionally repeat the character class, exluding matching a newline.
(?<!\bbad\b[^.\n]*)\bgood\b(?![^.\n]+\bbad\b)

The pattern matches:

*

*(?<!\bbad\b[^.\n]*) Negative lookbehind, assert to the left is not the word bad followed by optional chars exluding a . or newline

*\bgood\b Match the word good

*(?![^.\n]+\bbad\b) Negative lookahead, assert to the right is not optional chars excluding . or newline and the word bad

Mothers In Arms: Meet Canada's Strongest Arm-Wrestling Family
By Bunmi Adigun & John Balson @JJBalson
THIS over-the-top family contains some of the world's greatest arm-wrestlers

Over the top: The King family love arm-wrestling on a Friday night
Led by matriarch Joyce King - a 13 times world champion - the Kings devote huge chunks of their lives to the traditional bar sport.
Three generations of the family have taken it up, including Joyce's daughter Jessica King, 28, and granddaughter Josie King, 20.
"Arm-wrestling is ingrained in this family. Once you're an arm-wrestler you are always an arm-wrestler," said Joyce, 51, who came out of retirement after five years in 2014.
"I love watching my children and grandchildren compete, even when they lose, because they are happy just being up there competing.
Arm the best: Joyce King has won the arm-wrestling world championship and incredible 13 times
"Arm-wrestling used to be a pub sport but now they have tournaments in casinos in Las Vegas. It's really growing as a sport."
Even more impressive is the fact that Joyce, from Fredericton, Canada, has returned to the arena after a nasty arm-break last year.
"I was in the middle of the of the match and I managed to bring the lady back up," she said.
"I brought my wrist back up and then snap - it just snapped off. I didn't feel anything, no pain, until 15 minutes into the ambulance ride.
Sporty: Joyce, seen here in grade 7, was always keen on sports
"But everything is good now. I made a good recovery and now I'm back.
"I presume my daughter will beat me some day but I've always told her she'll have to really beat me as I'm not going to just give it up.
"I had to earn my own way and so will she."
Mother-of-two Jessica is now a two-times world champion herself, while Josie Montana King, a full-time student, has won two golds in Canada's Arm Wrestling Championships.

Jessica, a construction worker who is 6ft and weighs 200lbs, said: "I first started arm-wrestling when I was 11-years-old. I just love the sport. The people are absolutely amazing. Everyone comes together and shares tips and doesn't turn everything into a rivalry.
"At this point I can probably beat Josie but my mom is pretty jacked at the moment so I'm not touching that for a while."
Josie has taken a slight hiatus to concentrate on her college studies but she plans to return to the sport soon.
She said: "I think the sport is empowering to women and it lets young children and older women and men know that women can do a power sport too."
Wrist versus reward: Joyce posing for the camera with some of her silverwear
The rest of Joyce family, while not quite reaching the women's heights, are also all keen arm-wrestlers.
These include Joyce's son Cody King, 28, and grandchildren Hailey, seven, Jaxson, seven, Jacob, six, and Jenika, three.
All idolise Joyce, who weighs 180lbs and has 17in arms, and her record-breaking achievements in the tough sport.
The self-confessed tomboy became interested in sport as a child, playing with her three brothers and three sisters in the fields.
Top of the table: Joyce puts an opponent down with her awesome power
But it was only when she turned 30 that she started to become interested in the world of arm wrestling.
She said: "My first matches were pretty simple. There was only a couple of smaller ladies who weren't very athletic and so I won easily.
"I got more confident and decided to take it on more seriously."
She won her first world title in 2003 and went on to win a further 12, but there was one last challenge before she could consider herself the world's best.
Top of the world: Joyce poses after winning the World Championships in Japan in 2006
She said: "The reason I considered myself the best in the world in 2006 is because I'm the only person to ever beat the heavyweight champion from Russia, Liliya Khamidullina.
"I took her on at Ultimate Armwrestling lll 2006 in Las Vegas. Nobody else could beat her and we went the whole three matches with me winning two.
"It was an amazing feeling. I still get chills now thinking about it."
To stay at the top their training regime, the women endure gruelling gym workouts, protein rich diets and three-times weekly technique training.
Crunch time: Joyce faces and defeats the all-conquering Liliya Khamidullina in 2006 in Las Vegas
Their devotion has impressed trainer Derek Wilson, who has helped them with strength work for the last two years.
He said: "They're the strongest arm-wrestling family in Canada. Hands down. They really take the sport seriously.
Following suit: Jessica King gets to grips with her brother Cody on the table
"Joyce is extremely resilient and stubborn to come back from the arm break. I don't think there is a limit for her.
"You could put her up against a 250lb guy or a bodybuilder and if he doesn't have good technique then forget it - she will pummel him every time."
The training has debatably taken a toll on their feminine features but one man who isn't complaining is Joyce's devoted husband Alan, 62.
No pain, no gain: Josie, Jessica and Joyce working on their muscles in the gym
He also competed but quit when he broke his arm. He said: "Joyce could definitely beat me in an arm wrestle because she is stronger and better locked.
"I am not embarrassed. She could beat guys a lot bigger than me. "I find her big muscles sexy. I think she is a super woman and very feminine - just not at the table.
"I love her and I'm very proud of what she has achieved."
Joyce's next challenge will be at a tournament at the Arnold Classic Worldwide, in Ohio, USA, this weekend (5 and 6 of March).

The workshop is open to people who are interested in architectural lighting. Under the creative and didactic coordination of LUPERCALES, the lighting design team from Barcelona, the participants will create temporary artistic installations based on a site-specific concept which will improve the perception of space around and on the iron pedestrian bridge in Timisoara.
The workshop sessions will be held in Timisoara and will consist in planning and creating the lighting installations using professional control devices and systems. The educational component of the workshop will focus on the ergonomics and perception of a space that is accentuated by artificial light. Each participant will have the opportunity to experiment with the development, testing and implementation of the concept and design of urban lighting for a real site.
Lupercales is a team of lighting designers from Barcelona that designs architectural lighting and have implemented numerous lighting installations in public spaces.

DTCC Details Risk Management Approach
By Terry Flanagan
Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. is seeking to engage in a dialogue with CCPs, regulators and clearing participants concerning CCP risk management.
DTCC has issued a white paper that focuses on steps to refine and enhance the financial resources and default management structures of its two clearing agency subsidiaries, National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC), which have been designated as Systemically Important Financial Market Utilities (SIFMUs).
"We felt that it was very important for us to articulate our views on some of those topics and point out where we think there are differences both in the markets that we clear and the ownership structure of DTCC's two CCPs," Murray Pozmanter, managing director and general manager of DTCC's SIFMUs, told Markets Media.
The debate over CCP resources and risk management practices has become especially intense against a backdrop in which global regulators are completing detailed rulemaking to implement legislative reforms and publishing interpretations and guidance that will drive outcomes for CCPs.
"A lot of focus has been on some of the newer asset classes in clearing, particularly swaps that are in clearing, and on how it's sort of changing the risk profile of those markets," Pozmanter said. "DTCC's two CCPs were being lumped in and looked at within that same framework."
Murray Pozmanter, DTCC
As a user-owned company, DTCC's directors are a cross-section of clearing agency participants, including international broker-dealers, custodian and clearing banks and investment institutions. This broad representation enables DTCC to be responsive to the needs of all its constituents in terms of its approach to risk management. "How we look at governance informs how we think about the loss waterfall and what the CCP's contribution to it should be," Pozmanter said.
Much of the debate recently has focused on whether CCPs should make larger contributions of their own capital to the loss allocation waterfall as a way to make sure that their risk management is prudent and that they had their own 'skin in the game.'
An argument could be made that CCPs that are publicly traded may potentially not be aligned with the interests of owners and shareholders, who also used its services.
"We felt it was very important to point out that this argument isn't applicable to DTCC's CCPs because in essence the source of our capital is our users," Pozmanter said. "We don't feel that putting an outsized portion of that capital at risk as part of our loss allocation waterfall would align our interests any better than they're already aligned with our owners and users. We look at that as a potential source of instability in a stressed market."
He added, "While we're in favor of having some of our capital in the loss waterfall, we think that having a very transparent methodology and a static percentage of our operating capital in the waterfall is what's most appropriate for us."
DTCC supports the concept of stress testing for CCPs, but believes the tests need to be tailored to the asset classes that each individual CCP clears. "We're very much in favor of a standardized framework because we think that will add a lot of transparency and predictability to the process, but there needs to be some flexibility for the stress test to be customized to address particular risks faced by different CCPs depending on which markets they clear, which asset classes they clear, and what markets they operate," Pozmanter said.
As for resolution procedures, DTCC is opposed to pre-funding the default loss waterfall, although it does support pre-funding the operating capital needed to get a new CCP up and running in the event of a default.
"As we go through our recovery and resolution planning we want to have the operating capital pre-funded to potentially start up a new CCP in the event of the resolution of one of our CCPs," Pozmanter said. "We definitely see the logic in having the operating capital to start up a new CCP pre-funded. The default fund contributions, however, are better made at the point when the CCP is actually enacted."

The New Year is here and that means another season of Hike for Discovery! Last year, Steph and I spent more than three months training for a hike into the Grand Canyon with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) in memory of Steph's father, Mitchell Levine. Through lots of hard work, and miles upon miles on the trails of Georgia, we surpassed our goal to raise $8,000 for LLS. Last year, we raised over $9,500 from friends, family and strangers to help fight blood cancers!
In June, I'll be hiking with the Hike for Discovery (HFD) team in Yosemite National Park. This year, I'm serving as a mentor with HFD helping the team to train for hikes in Yosemite and the Grand Canyon — while raising money for LLS to fund research and patient services.
In 2006, an estimated 785,829 Americans were living with blood cancers.
Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20.
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
Every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer.
The Society awards about $58 million annually in research grants to find a cure for, or control of, blood cancers.
This year, I'm hiking for our team's Honored Hero, Elijah Cox. Elijah is 8 years old and was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2004. Like most children, Elijah enjoys riding bikes, playing basketball, matchbox cars, video games, swimming and music. Every dollar I raise helps LLS find treatments and cures for blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Hodgkin's disease. Donations also go to support families, like Elijah's, through information hotlines, support groups and the Trish Greene Back to School Program for Children with Cancer. This program helps increase communication among health care professionals, parents, patients and school personnel to assure youngsters a smooth transition from active treatment back to school.
The Society's work is far from over! While I'm training, you can help me reach my goal of raising $4,500 by donating to my Hike for Discovery. Your 100% tax-deductible contribution will bring those cures a step closer and help LLS continue to provide patient services to Elijah and his family. Many companies match employees' charitable donations, if yours does, please apply for the matching donation to help me reach my goal even quicker!
I sincerely appreciate your support of my Hike for Discovery and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Hope everything works out for Elijah, god bless the brave little guy!
Less than $3000 to reach my goal!
