Q: Neo4j Cypher MATCH if Not exists In SQL where is an option (NOT EXISTS) that allows us to only select a row if there is zero results from other SELECT.
For example:
SELECT
    c.CustomerKey
FROM
    Customer c, Sales s1, Date d
WHERE
    s1.CustomerKey = c.CustomerKey AND
    s1.OrderDateKey = d.DateKey AND
    s1.ShipDate > s1.DueDate AND
    NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
                FROM Sales s2
                WHERE s2.OrderDateKey = s1.OrderDateKey AND
                      s2.CustomerKey <> s1.CustomerKey)
GROUP BY
    c.CustomerKey

I tried to do the following but the query never ends so I assume I'm doing it the wrong way. What am I missing?
MATCH (d1:Date)<-[:ORDERDATE]-(s1:Sales)-[:CUSTOMER]->(c1:Customer)
WHERE s1.ShipDate > s1.DueDate
WITH d1,s1,c1
MATCH (s2:Sales)-[:CUSTOMER]->(c2:Customer)
WHERE NOT(s2.OrderDateKey=s1.OrderDateKey AND c2.CustomerKey<>c1.CustomerKey)
RETURN c2.CustomerKey

A: The query below should do what you want.
First, you should create an index on :Sales(OrderDateKey) so that the  OPTIONAL MATCH in the query below can quickly find the desired Sales nodes (instead of scanning all of them):
CREATE INDEX ON :Sales(OrderDateKey);

When the OPTIONAL MATCH clause fails to find a match, it sets its unbound identifiers to NULL. The following query takes advantage of that fact:
MATCH (:Date)<-[:ORDERDATE]-(s1:Sales)-[:CUSTOMER]->(c1:Customer)
WHERE s1.ShipDate > s1.DueDate
WITH s1.OrderDateKey AS odk, c1.CustomerKey AS customerKey
OPTIONAL MATCH (s2:Sales)-[:CUSTOMER]->(c2:Customer)
WHERE s2.OrderDateKey=odk AND c2.CustomerKey<>customerKey
WITH customerKey
WHERE c2 IS NULL
RETURN DISTINCT customerKey;

A: The tricky part of translating SQL to Cypher is figuring out when we should still do joins and predicates based on keys, vs when we should be translating those operations into usages of nodes and relationships.
Let's first translate what the SQL means, as best as I can tell:

We want to match a Sale with a Customer and an order Date, where the
  sale's ship date is past the due date, and there isn't already a Sale
  with the same order Date for a different Customer.

It looks like Sale.OrderDateKey is a foreign key to Date.DateKey's primary key, and that Sales.CustomerKey is a foreign key to Customer.CustomerKey's primary key.
If the above assumption is true, then we don't need to work with these keys at all...where SQL uses foreign and primary keys for joining, Neo4j uses relationships between nodes instead, so we don't need to actually use these fields for anything in this query except the returned values.
MATCH (orderDate:Date)<-[:ORDERDATE]-(s1:Sales)-[:CUSTOMER]->(c1:Customer)
WHERE s1.ShipDate > s1.DueDate
WITH orderDate, c1
// match to exclude is a sale with the same orderDate but different customer
OPTIONAL MATCH (orderDate)<-[:ORDERDATE]-(:Sales)-[:CUSTOMER]->(c2:Customer)
WHERE c1 <> c2
WITH c1
WHERE c2 IS NULL
RETURN DISTINCT c1.customerKey;

Two; I bought a Lite the other day when I killed off my old Phat.
3, all 3 models, stock of each (grey o.g., white lite, DSi), all launch date purchases....never had a GBA SP or micro, just original GBA, and i also got my color on launch day. Pocket and original were presents earlier on in my childhood.
I learned to walk when I was 9 and a half.
Five-/three DS Lites, two DSI's. I have two daughters, one is ten and the other is six. They have two of the Lites and I had one. My wife and I both got the DSI's at launch because I thought it would be a cool way for her and I to mess around with each other and the kids. By the way, I am 31 years old and have been I was seven!
Second hand white DS lite but unfortanlly now has a crack hinge joint causing a very wobbly hinge & causing pain with the right sholder button & it most proably won't last long till it's in two.
Now I'm thinking of saving up for a brand new DS lite hopefully black.
So I got 2 DS's & Im staying away from the stopgap knowen as the DSi.
OK Kawaii, why do you hate the DSi so much? Lack of GBA support? Lack of Homebrew? Personally if you're getting a brand new Lite anyway I'd go the bit extra and get the DSi.
Only the original DS back in 2004, It's taken quite the beating though, and I'm considering upgradinging to a DSi later this month.
The DSi is nothing more than a stopgap.
Is is nothing more than a DS with a couple of cameras & this DSi ware slapped on.
Hardware wise it's really pretty much the same as the DS as in having the excate same proccessing capablites.
Various comments from various devolopers tend to prove the DSi having the same proccessor.
Besides which why would the DSi need a faster CPU anyway.
Two, a fat one and a DSi. The fat one is now my mother's system for the Ace Attorney games, it was already getting scratched up so when the DSi came out I figured I could just as well buy one of those (especially since my mother was almost going to buy herself a DS Lite). Buying a Lite would've been silly at that point anyway, they're 150€ compared to the 170€ for a DSi.

Q: Select specific fields from a specific element of array by $elemMatch I want to select some specific fields from a particular object in a nested array, achieved through mongoose/mongo.
Playground Link
Consider the data:
[
  {
    "_id": ObjectId("5ff4b728b6af610f0851d2a6"),
    "totalScore": 500,
    "totalCompleted": 100,
    "monthly": [
      {
        year: 2021,
        month: 8,
        attempted: 10,
        completed: 5,
        score: 20,

      }
    ],

  },
]

I want to first get all the documents, and then inside the "monthly", I want to select only the ones which match month = 8, and return only the "score" field and ignore rest of the fields like "attempted", "completed", etc.
I have tried the following query so far:
db.collection.find({},
{
  totalScore: 1,
  "monthly": {
    $elemMatch: {
      year: 2021,
      month: 8,

    },

  },

})

It returns all the keys of the entire "monthly" object. Like so:
[
  {
    "_id": ObjectId("5ff4b728b6af610f0851d2a6"),
    "monthly": [
      {
        "attempted": 10,
        "completed": 5,
        "month": 8,
        "score": 20,
        "year": 2021
      }
    ],
    "totalScore": 500
  },
]

But, what I want, is to only select the "score" field from the "monthly".
So the result data would be:
[
  {
    "_id": ObjectId("5ff4b728b6af610f0851d2a6"),
    "monthly": [
      {
        "score": 20,
      }
    ],
    "totalScore": 500
  },

How should I approach this problem?

A: This can be done with a simple aggregation using $map and $filter:
db.collection.aggregate([
  {
    $project: {
      totalScore: 1,
      monthly: {
        $map: {
          input: {
            $filter: {
              input: "$monthly",
              as: "item",
              cond: {
                $eq: [
                  "$$item.month",
                  8
                ]
              }
            }
          },
          as: "item",
          in: {
            score: "$$item.score"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
])

I was just buying tickets for a NYS Maple Weekend trip on the A & A, and was wondering about motive power for the ride and hit upon their Facebook page. I don't use FB, so I just click upon pages that you don't have to be signed in to see. Anyways, their top post, March 4, says the repairs to #18 are much more extensive and #18 will not run for the 2019 season.
Also, that NYS Maple weekend trip I mentioned above, is a rare ride to the end of the line (and return to Curriers Sta. to eat pancakes) in North Java to the Kibler's Sugar Shack - I remember going there a few years ago, it's on the west side of Reisdorf's on the south side of Perry Rd.
Beloved no. 18 is set to receive a new firebox to bring her up to FRA safety standards. I believe the work is being contracted out this time instead of being done in-house like her previous 2002-07 rebuild but it will have her out of service for at least 2019. Her 1,472 is being conducted as part of the rebuild so when she makes her return she will be running for another 10-15 years!


A lot of these wilshire cocktail tables provide various purposes; from completing a appearance, to storage unit and display they are all-important in a living area. The concern is which design will suitable for your current living area. Is it best to use a wood one with chunky feet, steel with a glass top; should it be round, rectangular or square?

Latin name: Danaus Plexippus,
Conservsation status: vulnerable (population is decreasing)
Millions of Monarch butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles each winter, farther than any other butterfly—travelling 50 to 100 miles a day. The Monarch can smell its mate from 5 miles away.
The annual North American migration of the Monarch is listed as a "threatened phenomenon." Climate related threats include: drought, storms, changes in precipitation and dependence on temperature to trigger migration and reproduction. The Monarch feeds and lays eggs exclusively on milkweed plants, so it is also highly vulnerable to herbicides and habitat destruction.
Other animals effected by climate change
All populations of Ringed Seals are expected to be adversely affected by climate change because of dependence on sea ice and snow dens for breeding, protecting pups, moulting and resting. Early warming causes pups to separate prematurely from their mothers. As sea ice declines, other threats are fisheries by-catch, increased shipping, tourism and development. Seals are vulnerable to disease from heavy concentrations of pollutants that have accumulated in the Arctic food web.
Belugas live in Arctic and Sub-Arctic waters. Impacts from climate change include: an increase in ship traffic as sea ice declines, oil exploration and extraction, fisheries by-catch, and disruption of the food web. As Arctic waters warm and currents change, the Humpback (a competitor) and the Orca (a predator) may move north and stay longer. Some Beluga populations are also threatened by hunting, pollution and habitat loss.
Climate change impacts the Leatherback in two main ways: an increase in the temperature of nesting sands causes a greater proportion of females to hatch, destabilizing future populations; and sea level rise and stronger, more frequent storms erode nesting beaches and wash away eggs and hatchlings. The Leatherback is also threatened from fisheries by-catch, egg collection, coastal development, pollution and ingestion of floating plastics.
In the last 30 years the Staghorn Coral population has decreased by 80% from disease, pollution, development and damage. Climate change is increasing the risk of extinction. Corals live in symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relation with algae. The coral receives nutrients and oxygen from algae, and the algae receive nutrients and carbon dioxide from the coral. Rising sea temperature increases algae growth so oxygen levels become too high for the coral, causing "bleaching"—the coral expels the algae and dies. Higher ocean acidity contributes to bleaching and also reduces the ability of corals and other marine animals to build hard shells. Other threats from climate change are sea level rise, changes in currents and storm damage.
Monarch Butterflys are effected by climate change because of:
Limited Tolerance
Normal biological patterns of the Monarch Butterfly are closely linked to a specific range of temperatures, moisture or levels of carbon dioxide. Environmental conditions can change beyond the Monarch Butterfly's ability to survive or adapt.
Environmental Cues
For the Monarch Butterfly climate conditions such as temperature or rain are triggers for migration, breeding, hibernation, egg laying or other actions. For example, earlier spring temperatures may cue a species to start migration northward, but arrive at their seasonal nesting habitat before food is available or abundant.
Rising Surface Temperature
Rising temperatures change precipitation patterns, cause drought and fire, raise the temperature of lakes and rivers, affect life cycles and increase the spread of disease and parasites.
The Monarch Butterfly is also threatened by:
Destruction or fragmentation from deforestation, mining, agriculture, dams and roads, filling wetlands, dredging or diverting rivers.
Pollution from sewage, chemicals, fuel burning, oil spills, plastic debris*
* 75% of marine debris is plastic—contaminating shoreline and deep sea habitats from the poles to the equator.

Methodology of the Standard
Measuring Poverty
The Supplemental Poverty Measure
The Official federal Poverty Measure (OPM), often known as the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), was developed five decades ago and today has become increasingly problematic and outdated as a measure of income adequacy. Indeed, the Census Bureau states, "the official poverty measure should be interpreted as a statistical yardstick rather than as a complete description of what people and families need to live." Despite the many limitations of the OPM, it is still used to calculate eligibility for a number of poverty and work support programs.
The most significant shortcoming of the OPM is that for most families, in most places, the poverty level is simply too low. While the Standard changes by family type to account for the increase in costs specific to the type of family member—whether this person is an adult or child, and for children, by age—the Federal Poverty Guideline (FPG) increases by a constant $4,160 for each additional family member and therefore does not adequately account for the real costs of meeting basic needs.
The Self-Sufficiency Standard shows that the income needed to meet basic needs is often far above the OPM, indicating that families can have incomes above the federal poverty measure and yet lack sufficient resources to adequately meet their basic needs. For this reason, most assistance programs use a multiple of the federal poverty measure to determine need. For instance, children's health insurance with low-cost premiums is available through Colorado Child Health Plan Plus program for families with incomes up to 260% of the FPG.
However, simply raising the poverty level, or using a multiple of the FPG, cannot solve the structural problems inherent in the official poverty measure. In addition to the fundamental problem of being too low, there are five basic methodological problems with the federal poverty measure.
First, the measure is based on the cost of a single item—food—rather than a "market basket" of all basic needs.
Over five decades ago, when the OPM was first developed by Mollie Orshansky, food was the only budget item for which the cost of meeting a minimal standard, in this case nutrition, was known. (The Department of Agriculture had determined household food budgets based on nutritional standards.) Knowing that the average American family spent a third of their budget on food, Orshansky reasoned that multiplying the food budget by three would yield an estimate of the amount needed to meet other basic needs, and thus this became the basis of the OPM.
Second, the poverty measure's methodology is "frozen," not allowing for changes in the relative cost of food or non-food items, nor the addition of new necessary costs.
Since it was developed, the poverty level has only been updated annually using the Consumer Price Index. As a result, the percentage of the household budget devoted to food has remained at one-third of the OPM even though American families now spend an average of only 13% of their income on food. At the same time, other costs have risen much faster—such as health care, housing, and more recently, and energy—and new costs have arisen, such as child care and taxes. None of these changes are, or can be, reflected in the federal poverty measure based on a "frozen" methodology.
Third, the poverty measure is dated, implicitly using the demographic model of a two-parent family with a "stay-at-home" wife, or implicitly assumes she is not employed.
This family demographic no longer reflects the reality of the majority of American families today. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, both parents were employed in 59% of two-parent families with children in 2013. Likewise, 68% of single mothers with children were employed and 81% of single fathers with children were employed in 2013. Thus paid employment with its associated costs such as child care, transportation, and taxes is the norm for the majority of families today rather than the exception. Moreover, when the poverty measure was first developed, these employment-related items were not a significant expense for most families: taxes were relatively low and child care for families with young children was not common. However, today these expenses are substantial, and borne by most families, and thus these costs should be included in a modern poverty measure.
Fourth, the poverty measure does not vary by geographic location.
That is, the official poverty measure is the same whether one lives in Louisiana or in the San Francisco Bay Area of California (with Alaska and Hawaii the only exceptions to the rule). However, housing in the most expensive areas of the United States costs nearly four times as much as in the least expensive areas. Using the 2015 Fair Market Rents, the cost of housing (including utilities) at the 40th percentile for a two-bedroom unit in the most expensive place—the San Francisco metropolitan area—is $2,062 per month. This is nearly four times as much as the least expensive housing in the country, found in most counties in Kentucky, where two-bedroom units cost $558 per month. Even within states, costs vary considerably: in Colorado, the cost of a three-bedroom housing rental in Bent County is $801 per month, while in Park County a three-bedroom unit is $2,307 per month.
Finally, the poverty measure provides no information or means to track changes in specific costs, nor the impact of subsidies, taxes, and tax credits that reduce (or increase) these costs.
The OPM does not allow for determining how specific costs (such as housing, child care, etc.) rise or fall over time. Likewise, when assessing the impact of subsidies, taxes, and tax credits, poverty measures cannot trace the impact they have on net costs unless they are explicitly included in the measure itself.
For these and other reasons, many researchers and analysts have proposed revising the federal poverty measure. Suggested changes would reflect twenty-first century needs, incorporate geographically based differences in costs, and respond to changes over time. One such effort is the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). Read more about the SPM and how it differs from the Standard.

"The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Ohio gives us real-world data to show exactly what it takes for Ohio families in every county to pay the basic bills. We hope it will help state and federal policymakers better understand just how off-the-mark the current federal poverty guidelines are and how the Self-Sufficiency Standard should serve as the real bottom line for making policy decisions."

Roads & Rails
Durrango, CO
37 35 27.7 N, 107 46 41.6 W
The Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Train is one of the last of the narrow gauge railroads, linking the Colorado mining towns of Durango and Silverton and is an example of the important role that civil engineering played in developing the west.
"It was an era of boisterous expansion, and a spirit of heady optimism infused the developing nation. The train gave Americans a taste of freedom and mobility that had never been known."
- Robert Royem An American Classic: The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
The Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Branch of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad extends from the town of Durango to the mining camp of Silverton. Built in 1882 through one of the most rugged mountain areas of the nation, its complexity remains a testament to the role civil engineering played in the development of the western United States.
The tracks rise up the sheer, steep Animas Canyon, running along a rock ledge just wide enough to carry the train. The line is used today as a tourist attraction, carrying visitors through the picturesque San Juan Mountains.
The 45-mile line was constructed in just over nine months at a cost of $917,303. The first steel rails produced in Colorado were used in construction of this line.
Silverton sits at an elevation of 9,300 feet.
The railway's maximum grade is 2.5 percent. In such rugged terrain, this relatively modest project was a significant surveying and construction accomplishment.
The 500 laborers who built the railway were primarily Irish and Chinese immigrants.
Laborers lived in rail cars provided by the D& R Western Railroad, though some chose to make their homes in nearby caves. The average daily pay was $2.25.

A writer utilizes written words in a range of styles and techniques in order to relate ideas. Writers are able to create a wide assortment of works, under the umbrella of literary art or creative writing. Examples of these styles include short stories, novels, poems, plays, articles (for news or entertainment purposes), screenplays or essays.
The best writers have the ability to utilize words in order to express ideas, and their works tend to stand the test of time by contributing to modern culture and by continuing to contribute to future cultures.
Writers Work in Different Genres
Writers may create work that spans many different genres. This type of work may be fiction or non-fiction. Writers may also utilize multiple forms of media. For example, drawings or other visual aids may be added in order to enhance their work. These other forms of media may be self-created or they may be outsourced to artists, illustrators or graphic designers.
Writers may even weigh in (in writing) about their own creative processes. For example, George Orwell wrote a famous essay, "Why I Write", which detailed the inspiration for his work (he suffered from loneliness and feelings of isolation, and therefore found writing to be a solace).
Within the fiction genre, examples of types of literary works include mysteries, thrillers, romantic novels (romances, for short), chick-lit (work aimed at women, which may or may not have a romantic focus), and so on. In the non-fiction genre, textbooks, biographies, essay compilations and humorous books may be found (to name just a few examples).
When a grouping of non-fiction or fiction works (both genres may be found in one grouping) are published in one convenient book, this type of grouping is known as a literary compilation or anthology. Anthologies of this sort sometimes feature the "cream of the crop", in terms of talent and popularity. However, these types of compilations may feature almost any types of writers.
Writers May be Amateurs or Professionals
Some writers work professionally, for pay, while others work for free. Professional writers may be found in a range of environments. For example, they may be novelists or they may work online. The advent of the digital age has made it simpler for professional writers to perform work remotely.
In addition, the Web provides amateur writers with a convenient mode of sharing their work with a worldwide audience. Other places where professional writers may be found include newsrooms, magazine offices and screenwriting offices. There are many ways to work for pay as a writer, from crafting website content to blogging to writing product descriptions.
Some writers, who write books, are also known as authors. However, the term author tends to denote legal responsibility for a specific piece of writing, whether it is anonymous, unknown or collaborative in nature.
Writers May Have Muses
For some authors/writers, such as Irish novelist, playwright and poet, Oscar Wilde, inspiration takes the form of a person. This type of inspirational individual is commonly known as a muse. In the case of Oscar Wilde, the muse was his young and aristocratic male lover, "Bosie". For others, muses may range from love interests of either sex to models, ballerinas, artists or other writers (and beyond).
However, a writer may create important or unimportant literary works without having a muse. Writers who suffer from writer's block or other common obstacles to success may search for inspiration from muses or other sources. Many of the world's best (and worst) writers have suffered from bouts of writer's block.
Writers May Receive Praise or Criticism
When writers put their works into the public domain, they are subject to scrutiny, in the form of praise or criticism. Literary critics spend their time dissecting works of fiction or non-fiction and then weigh in with their opinions about the overall merit of these works. However, anyone may be a critic. Writers may find the process of being criticized helpful or detrimental.

Unlocking a sustainable energy mix with nuclear
By Amar Jolly | October 14, 2020
Beyond overcoming a global pandemic, some of the major issues facing the world today include energy inequality, urbanization, and perhaps the biggest one—climate change. They all share one thing in common: a need for access to sustainable and reliable power.
When it comes to tackling these unquestionable issues, the world's power developers, producers, and utilities are going to play a critical role. They will be the ones to bring power to remote communities and projects sites, power the cities of the future in a way that's sustainable, and find ways to meet the world's increasing demand for power with sources that are carbon-free, yet reliable. While we're excited about the advancements that we're seeing in technology and the increasing global embrace of renewable power sources, we have much work to do when it comes to developing green technologies for power generation.
In my opinion, one of the most important pieces to solving this puzzle—which is achieving a less carbon-intensive world—lies in power generated by nuclear and fusion technologies. Currently, nuclear energy provides 15 percent of Canada's total electricity supply, and that figure alone reduces carbon emissions in Canada by at least 50 million tonnes annually. That's equal to nearly a quarter of Canada's greenhouse gas reduction target under the Paris Agreement. Combined with other renewable power sources and energy storage technologies, nuclear power can have a major and positive impact in the energy transition–if we let it. It can provide a reliable source of baseload energy safely, while providing stability to the power grid. And as populations move towards electrification, this stability will be critical.
Recently Canada's Minister of Natural Resources Seamus O'Regan explained that if Canada is to meet the carbon emissions reduction targets it agreed to five years ago in Paris, Canadians must be open to the idea of more nuclear power generation. "We have not seen a model where we can get to net-zero emissions by 2050 without nuclear," O'Regan advised. "The fact of the matter is that it produces zero emissions."
One path that will allow us to increase this reliable energy production is through the deployment of flexible nuclear technologies, like small modular reactors (SMRs). SMRs can help solve issues for urbanization and provide power to remote locations. These technologies have the ability to displace expensive carbon-intensive energy sources. While some technologies are proven and ready for deployment, others are still in the development stage. To move forward, we need to collectively help the industry get onboard today. To put this into context, if we start today, we're looking at implementation years down the road. To be successful in this endeavor, we have to come together and make carbon reduction technologies a priority and a feasible pathway not only for investors, but also for developers and users alike.
Achieving this will pay out in dividends for our collective future. And while it may seem complicated, it really doesn't have to be. The way I look at it, it's just an engineering and project implementation issue at this time. And that's where we can help. We've already started through our support and partnerships with X-energy, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Terrestrial Energy, and other SMRs technology developers, end-users, and government regulators.
Another area in which we are doubling down is fusion energy. The order of magnitude is clear: it's clean, energy dense, and it carries all of the benefits of nuclear power, without the waste. If we can get past the physics hurdle, this is the kind of technology that can literally change mankind for the better. We believe this so much so that we are making it a point to be on the ground floor in demonstrating its technology and feasibility through our collaboration with organizations like General Fusion.
As global energy consumption continues to increase, a sustainable energy mix is the only solution. That is, new nuclear fission and fusion reactors complemented by other clean sources of energy. And we will only get there if we continue to invest in technology and innovation. Unlocking green power sources won't just meet the challenges of today, it's how we can invest in our collective future.

Best of the Web: The silver linings in how we're coping, talking to teens about alcohol, and more
A new national poll shows there are some positives for families during the pandemic, how to discuss drinking with teenagers, and why kids' gaming time isn't wasted.
Our selection of thought-provoking and useful articles from around the web on educating and raising children.
The silver linings in how we're coping
(RCH National Child Health Poll)
There are some positives for families emerging from life during the pandemic, despite the hardships, according to the latest Royal Children's Hospital National Child Health Poll. Most have reported their family unit is more connected, they have spent more time together, and have used their time at home to consider what's important in life.
'Almost half of parents (42 per cent) say they are now more connected to their child, with most having spent more time reading (51 per cent) and playing games (68 per cent) together, and 66 per cent have developed new positive family habits since COVID-19,' says the poll.
It was no surprise that kids spent more time on screens for entertainment (51 per cent), spent less time being physically active (42 per cent) and ate more unhealthy food (25 per cent). Only one in 10 children got enough exercise each day.
Realistic ways to talk to teens about alcohol
(Cheryl Critchley and Eileen Berry, ABC Life)
The good news is that Australian teenagers are drinking less alcohol today than previous generations. Nevertheless, the whole issue of teen drinking can be very challenging for parents.
This article seeks expert and real-life advice on how to approach the subject. How much is too much? What do you do if there's a problem? What are the signs of misuse?

Michigan is bounded by four of the five Great Lakes — Erie, Huron, Michigan, and Superior — as well as Lake Saint Clair, giving the state the longest freshwater shoreline in the world. The state has a total of 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. It's also the only state made up entirely of two peninsulas, Upper and Lower. While the Upper Peninsula makes up one-third of Michigan's land area, it's home to only three percent of its population. Most of the state's 10 million residents live in the Lower Peninsula, which is home to Detroit, the state's largest city and base of the automotive industry that's defined the state for decades. The big three U.S. auto manufacturers (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) are all headquartered in Michigan and have been vital players in the local economy. Food and other products are also big business for Michigan. Domino's Pizza and Little Caesars are headquartered there, but the state is also a large employer of high-tech workers and competes nationally in the aerospace and research and development fields. There are dozens of public and private colleges and universities in the state, led by the University of Michigan, whose flagship Ann Arbor campus is the oldest in the university and has more than 40,000 students enrolled between undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
The state of Michigan offers plenty of choices when it comes to seeking a higher education. It is home to various public and private colleges and universities that are well-known and respected. Major public research institutions in the state include the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Michigan State University, which also has one of the largest enrollments of any school in the country. Michigan also has many notable private institutions like Madonna University, Aquinas College, University of Detroit Mercy, and Hillsdale College, all of which have been recognized by U.S. News and World Report.
There are also nationally accredited colleges and universities that are accredited by agencies like the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and the Distance Education and Training Council, Accrediting Commission. An institution of higher education in Michigan is not accredited unless it holds accreditation from these types of regional or national bodies. Some schools may also have secondary specialized accreditation for programs from agencies such as American Bar Association, Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar or the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools.

I like the slick look they have hope I can pull a Patrick Maholmes. it going to be like Christmas time opening presents.
yeesh. These look like an undergrad computer graphics design.
Advice to Panini: cut the number of Football sets in half and pay the extra money to have on card signings. This is just another run of the mill set with Sticker autos. In the future who is going to care if it is an Illusions, Impeccable, Phoenix, Obsidian, Onyx, Delusions, Meteorite, Plutonium, or Unobtainium card. Stick with the tried and true sub-brands. All of these new sets look the same and are really not desirable.
'Advice' to all collectors.. in response to above.
Panini is not going to stop making so many sets –until customers stop buying some of them.
Back in the day – when each card company made one set per year, the First Card made was the Rookie Card – there was not hundreds of different Rookie cards per player.
The market demand should change to only want the FIRST card made from the FIRST SET made as that is the only Rookie card – but the problem is those sets come out in College Uni.
The first card in NFL Uni should be the only set RC anyone should care about and maybe with that Panini wont make so many sets.
but then you wont pull all those different cards that you love pulling all year long.
Bought a three boxes and the break was what I thought it would be. Set if full of one color swatches, which is a bummer. Way, way to many parallel cards so almost impossible to finish the set. I would have give this four star is there were not so many parallel cards.
For the record you can't blame Panini for the number of releases. I believe it's a requirement of their NFL license. 25 release each year I believe. I don't like it either, but blame the correct parties. With that said, for the love of God, please cut back on the sticker autos and put more on card autos in your product.
Well, they made almost 40 sets last year and looks to be the same or more this year.
Quality control seems pretty solid, There is a bunch of color, which can be tough to keep track of for someone new to the product.

Polar bears and melting ice: 3 facts that may surprise you
Jolie Lee
You probably already know that the world's polar bear population is threatened due to a warming planet and melting ice.
But how is climate change affecting polar bears now?
USA TODAY Network spoke with Steven Amstrup, chief scientist with Polar Bears International, a polar bear conservation group, about how far-reaching the problem is today. Armstrup warns that the threats to polar bears are "harbingers of what's to come for all of us."
1. Disappearing population
Polar bears are considered a threatened species in the USA. An estimated 20,000-25,000 polar bears remain worldwide, but Amstrup predicts two-thirds of the population will be gone by midcentury.
Polar bears feed on seals that they hunt on sea ice. Seals are rarely on land, and it's even more rare for polar bears to catch seals in the water.
"Regardless of how many seals there might be, polar bears don't have access to them without the sea ice," Amstrup said.
Since 1979, Arctic sea ice in September has been declining at a rate of about 13% per decade, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
The melting ice correlates to the planet's rising temperature over the past century, according to NASA measurements of global ocean-land temperatures.
September is when the Arctic sea ice is at its lowest size. Historically, over most of their range, polar bears hunt on the ice through the summer, fall and into the winter.
2. Cannibalism? Yes, cannibalism.
Researchers think the longer ice-free seasons that have prevented polar bears from getting to seals are forcing them to find other sources of nutrition — each other.
All bears will eat other bears in certain circumstances, including for population regulation, reproductive advantage or establishing dominance, according to a 2006 study Amstrup published in the journal Polar Biology.
But in recent years, researchers observed behavior they'd never seen before: polar bears "stalking, killing and eating" other polar bears, according to the study.
Amstrup and fellow scientists recorded three separate incidents of cannibalism in Alaska and Canada between January and April 2004.
"We can't say for sure that this is the fingerprint of climate change, but it's consistent with the kinds of things you expect to see when a population is nutritionally stressed," Amstrup said.
3. More contact with humans
To find food, polar bears are traveling to places they don't normally go. Specifically, they're showing up in villages, which has happened in northern Canada, Amstrup said.
Because of these increased sightings, some people may wrongly think the polar bear population is growing, Amstrup said.
The fact is, their population overall is shrinking, he said.
"A polar bear is not going to lay down and die when it's hungry," Amstrup said. What we're seeing now is bears "becoming very common where (before) they were uncommonly seen."

The next month will see the NFL's cream of the crop battle in the playoffs for the chance to make it to Santa Clara for Super Bowl 50. With the playoff seeding now complete, fans across America (and elsewhere) will be making their predictions to try and determine who makes it to the big dance.
Today, we're unveiling our playoff predictions – with a twist. Rather than focusing on matchups, injuries and form, we've decided to take a look at how the playoffs would unfurl if games were determined by the generosity of each team's fans. Using data from the 'How America Gives' project, we've taken a look at which teams might emerge from each conference, and how they would fare against one another in the Super Bowl.
First, an explanation of how we've put together the scores. How America Gives provides each area (state/city) with a 'Giving ratio.' This is based upon the percentage of adjusted gross income given to charity, as determined using the charitable deductions on income-tax forms, with data from the IRS, census, and elsewhere. The project also gives a 'median contribution' (donation) for each area. We thus allocated two data points to each team to use as the basis for generating scores.
To replicate home advantage, if the home team did not 'win' based upon the giving ratio, we gave them the opportunity to 'win' using the median contribution scores. (Incidentally, it wasn't until the Super Bowl that using the median contribution would make a difference.) We then multiplied each team's giving ratio by 7 – the number of points for a touchdown and extra point. This led to the (surprisingly) plausible scores that you can see to the right.
In the NFC, Seattle wins on the road against the third-seeded Vikings, whose NFC North rivals Green Bay continue their recent woes by losing to Washington. Neither the Seahawks nor the Redskins can knock off Arizona or Carolina though, and the top two seeds battle for NFC supremacy. In the end, it's the Panthers who see off the Cardinals, led by their soon-to-be MVP quarterback Cam Newton, whose generosity sets the foundation for their victory.
The AFC playoffs begin with both of the wildcards – Kansas City and Pittsburgh – losing on the road, to Houston and Cincinnati respectively. The Texans and Bengals then see off the AFC's powerhouses of Denver and New England, setting up a surprising clash in Cincinnati. Despite home-field advantage, the Bengals are defeated by the Texans, with star defensive end JJ Watt leading the way.
The NFL is growing in popularity in the UK, but as it as generous as our top sporting league? Well, in 2013-14 revenue for the Premier League was £3.26bn, whilst the Football Foundation (funded by the Premier League, FA and the Government via Sport England) spent £29.93m on charitable activity at the same time. This works out as 0.92% of turnover being spent on charitable activity. By comparison, over the 2014 season the NFL had revenue of $11.09bn. Over the same time period, the NFL Foundation spent $28.44m, which works out as 0.26% of turnover being used for good causes – proportionately much less than that given through the Football Foundation.
Of course, many NFL teams and players do a great deal to support charities individually, but it's perhaps fair to say that the NFL (whose Commissioner is paid about $44m a year) isn't matching the high levels of generosity of Americans as demonstrated by the How America Gives data, and America's consistent high ranking in CAF's 'World Giving Index.' Whilst initiatives such as A Crucial Catch (the NFL's breast cancer awareness scheme) have been well received, there is certainly the potential for the NFL to do more to support good causes. If our projections hold and the Texans become the charitable Super Bowl champions, perhaps that will be the impetus for even greater support for charities from the NFL in 2016.
 Yes teams have missed more extra points this year, but we're trying to keep this relatively simple.
 As this match-up used median income, to generate an NFL-style score we divided each team's median income by 7 (a converted touchdown) and then again by 50 – it is the 50th Super Bowl, after all.

You thought it couldn't be done! But they totally did it.
First Grant Ward was a dead-eyed psycho who killed his family and betrayed his friends (and may have killed an adorable dog). Then he turned into Daisy's obsessed stalker, with a weird relationship with the Agent 33 and a penchant for brainwashing. After he died, he came back as a revolting zombie alien, who wants to rule the world for Hydra. And the goopy naked regeneration, and the tentacle head... But now, Agents of SHIELD finally found a way to make Grant Ward 100 percent loathsome. Behold this clip from last night's episode, "The Team," in which we not only see Grant's powers at work in Daisy—but also her cultish perspective on how Grant is filling the empty void that's been inside her for her entire life. Yeeesh. Given that one of the last times Daisy saw Grant, she pumped him full of bullets, this is even more revolting. OK, I know it's not really Grant—but it sort of is. And now, Coulson can never trust any of his Inhuman agents again, at least until he gets a cure.
Also, yay for Fitz and Simmons getting together! And boo for Coulson agonizing over his decision to kill Ward. He did the right thing, and it's not his fault it turned out badly.

Gillian Wilmot, Chair of the Board of Trustees
23 Nov 2018 149
Having overseen a major transformation from Sports Coach UK in 2015 to UK Coaching, the Board of UK Coaching announces that Gillian Wilmot, Chair of the Board, has decided not to serve a further term as the organisation enters a new phase of development.
Gillian will assist the Board in the search for a new Chair and hand over to that individual by the end of June 2019.
Gillian Wilmot said:
Having completed the major part of the transformation from Sports Coach UK to UK Coaching, which included meeting the governance requirements for the New Code for Sports Governance, recruiting a completely new board and executive team and repositioning the organisation in the sector, I have decided that now is the right time for me to step aside and focus on commercial Chairmanships, Chairing Senet, public speaking, Mentoring and on completing my book. I am delighted we have a truly diverse and highly skilled Board and executive team to take UK Coaching forward.
The organisation has seen a major turnaround since December 2015 and is now in a significantly stronger position with clarity of purpose. Our role is to help improve the lives of those who take part in sport and physical activity by working with coaches and coaching organisations to deliver great experiences through great coaching and ultimately encourage a more active nation.
The Board is enormously grateful for the role that Gillian has played in the transformation of UK Coaching and positioning us to be able to meet the needs of coaches and coaching in the future. Gillian has brought an excellent mix of extensive experience, insight and dedication to help bring about significant changes in the organisation, and there is no doubt her passion and drive to transform lives through great coaching will be missed.
Mark Gannon, CEO of UK Coaching, said:
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Gillian for leading UK Coaching through a very challenging period and, in particular, her tremendous work in overseeing its strategic transformation.

2nd edition of Measuring Success: The Impact of the Interactive Digital Media Sector in Ontario Shows Growth in IDM Sector
Second Edition of IO's Economic Impact Report Tracks the Growing Impact of the Interactive Digital Media Sector in Ontario
Interactive Ontario is committed to the growth of the Interactive Digital Media (IDM) sector and to that end, we have recently released our follow-up report Measuring Success: The Impact of the Interactive Digital Media Sector in Ontario [English PDF; French PDF] report today during a launch at Ryerson University. The report, prepared by Nordicity, shares the same title as our initial report from 2017, and highlights the growing impact the IDM sector has on the economy and job market in Ontario.
Key highlights from the report note the IDM sector's economic impact on employment, GDP contribution, and export revenues, as well as providing details on products and services being generated in Ontario.
"These reports are designed to fill a crucial knowledge gap felt by industry, policymakers, and the wider public and provide an overview of considerations that we can target to foster growth for this vital sector," says Lucie Lalumière, President and CEO of Interactive Ontario. "We have over 929 companies winning awards internationally and proving to be a major draw for investment from abroad, but we need to make sure we are looking at ways that we can help to support this sector locally to build on our existing momentum to make Ontario a world-leader in the IDM space," says Lalumière.
"It's rewarding to see such strong evidence of continued growth in this sector, as well as the real impact of provincial investments in IDM companies and content. This is a vibrant industry creating high-paying jobs and important opportunities for emerging talent," says Karen Thorne-Stone, President & CEO of Ontario Creates, one of the study's funding partners and a key catalyst for interactive digital media companies and content in Ontario.
The data was gathered between July and December 2018 from 107 IDM companies in Ontario, and explored themes like opportunities, barriers, growth, workforce, and output.
Featured Findings:
There are 929 Ontario-based Interactive Digital Media (IDM) companies.
The IDM industry directly employs 12,300 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees and its economic activity supports a grand total of 18,070 full-time jobs in the wider economy.
Ontario's IDM industry generated $1.77 billion in GDP impacts in 2017, an increase of $370 million compared to 2015.
IDM companies in Ontario expected to hire 2,770 FTEs in the 12 months following the survey.
The average salary in the industry is $74,000, which has increased by 41% since 2015.
Ontario's IDM industry contributed $544.7 million in taxes across all levels of government, an increase of 23% over 2015 levels.

Imperial Moth PDIC Factsheets
Description and Biology
Skip to Description and Biology
Imperial moths, Eacles imperialis, are large, mostly yellow moths with spots, lines and splotches of light to dark brown. They are classified in a section of the giant silkworm family called the royal moths. In late spring, Imperial moths emerge from the soil, mate, and females lay hundreds of eggs on a wide variety of trees. The eggs are flattened spheres almost 1/8 inch across. From the eggs hatch orange caterpillars almost half inch long with conspicuous black spines. Caterpillars eventually develop into large, fat, green to brown to almost black worms three to 5 inches long! Some brown caterpillars may have conspicuous orange spots. Mature green caterpillars have yellow knobs on their thorax and yellow spots down each side (the spiracles through which they breath). The other color forms have dark knobs. Mature caterpillars are also covered with long, fine hair. Fully grown caterpillars crawl to the soil and dig in. They molt into a pupal stage in the soil. The pupae are reddish brown, cylindrical, and taper slightly toward the rear. There is a small, forked structure at the tip end. The pupae evidently use that structure to help dig up to the soil surface. It is generally thought that a second generation of moths emerges from the pupal stage sometime later in the summer. These females mate and lay eggs for the next generation of caterpillars. When fully grown, they dig into soil to pupate and spend the winter in soil. Moths emerge from the overwintering pupae the following spring. However, there is some uncertainty whether we have two generations per year in North Carolina or one. Some overwintering pupae may delay development until well into the summer giving the appearance of a second generation of moths. Certainly further north only one generation occurs.
Imperial moths are large, showy insects usually flying at night.
Male imperial moths have more feathery antennae.
Imperial moths lay eggs on the foliage of host plants.
Imperial moth caterpillars have be reported to grow to 5.5 inches!
Imperial moth caterpillars can be quite variable in appearance but always large.
Imperial moth pupae are dark brown to almost black.
Skip to Host Plants
Imperial moth caterpillars can feed on dozens of kinds of trees but seem to prefer pines, oaks, maples, sassafras, and sweetgum. Cedar, elm, persimmon, hickory, beech, honeylocust and cypress are other less common hosts as well as a slew of other plants.
Residential Recommendations
Skip to Residential Recommendations
Because imperial moth caterpillars are usually rare, the only noticeable sign of an infestation may be pellets of frass that fall to the pavement under an infested trees. Each female moth lays hundreds of eggs. A logical question would be, why are the moths not more common? Evidently the caterpillars are delicious to birds. Caterpillars that feed in an exposed position on foliage are ready targets for predators. In addition, many kinds of parasites and diseases plague caterpillars. So a mother moth is lucky, indeed, if two daughters of the hundreds of her offspring survive to produce grandchildren. Because imperial moth caterpillars are usually rare, it seems a pity to use an insecticide for their management. However, they are susceptible to most of the insecticides labeled for home landscape use, should the need arise.
Pellets of frass often drop beneath infested trees.

Once Western Golf Car had developed the Lido NEV product, it was important to update the basic golf car product line. This started with the top model called the Elegante.
For this vehicle a completely new rolling chassis was selected for the basis of the car. The body styling was done in the Formdesign studio and it was the most fresh and modern golf car I've yet seen.
Using the new chassis required the design and development of new hardware for the battery and controller systems, body mounting brackets, seat belt brackets, as well as some structural parts for the frame. After getting these started I had to design other components such as foglight brackets, seat belt brackets, hinges, roof pillars, etc for the new body. All of these parts were supported by drawings which I used both in-house and with the various suppliers.
A major new development for this car was the application of a newer style steering column from Delphi. I had prepared some groundwork for this column previously during the development of the Lido vehicle although it had not been yet used in production. The main benefit of using this column was the incorporation of the horn button on the steering wheel. Because these vehicles did not use chassis ground, the typical horn grounding circuit of steering columns could not be used. I was able to solve this with the later style column by using the SRS circuit built into the column.
Of course I had to design completely new main and motor controller wire harnesses. A later development was utilizing an on-board charger in which the supplier was in the final stages of incorporating a DC-DC converter. This allowed the stand-alone DC-DC converter to be deleted and simplified the wiring somewhat. For this vehicle we decided to build the wire harnesses completely in-house, so in addition to the drawings I prepared tooling to build the harnesses.
For production I designed completely new tooling to assemble the frame, body jigs to ensure consistent and correct fit of the bodies to the chassis, as well as the jigs to fabricate the various brackets, battery trays, etc. Although we had in-house welding fabrication capability, I always designed many parts in sheet metal where it was effective, and used the resources of the local job shop. Since the new frame was made of aluminum, I specified this material for many of the small brackets.
Here are the new chassis frame rails on the assembly jig I designed.
The first rolling chassis used by the design studio can just be seen in the background.
Here is the 2nd prototype steering column bracket. I based the design on using formed sheetmetal pieces. The 1st prototype was fabricated by welding hot rolled stock and it was used to confirm the dimensions and fit in the car. The sheetmetal design then proceeded from that.
The core of the Delphi steering column can be seen. Without the plastic trim parts it's like a wet bird - pretty skinny. The plastic parts were destroyed in the process of getting molds off of the clay model in the design studio.
This is the 1st prototype car under construction.
Fitting the body sections to the chassis was always a focus of my development work. I developed a system on the Lido project to pre-drill the bodies to fit pre-arranged mounting holes on the chassis. The holes in the chassis were pinned in the weldling jig. This ensured the proper and consistent alignment of the body to the chassis, and simplifed the assembly in production.
We called the instrument binnacle the "conning tower" for obvious reasons. However, in the context of the assembled vehicle it didn't stand out visually, and was very practical and convenient to use. It was well received by all who saw the car.
The body sections for this car as for many of the production cars were made by Prototype Concepts and were always of excellent quality.
This is a close-up of the hood hinge in development.
One of my early nicknames at Western was "Hinge-ineer" because I could design hinges for hoods and tailgates that actually worked. They were absolutely amazed when I did the first hinge for the tailgate of the Lido runabout and it worked the first time. This was on a Saturday and one guy actually called me at home to tell me "It works!", he was so impressed. No one there previously had been able to do such a thing. I think Rongineer sounds better, though.
In anticpation of needing four wheel brakes for the car, I started development of front hydraulic brakes.
This is the Lido rotor/hub which I found a way to adapt to the front spindle of the new chassis.
Not seen is the mounting of the master cylinder which required designing a special bracket and linkage.
This is the prototype nearing completion.

Hunt Harrier 25
Hunt builds each boat to suit a specific buyer, including those in its two-year-old Harrier line. The latest model, the Harrier 25, features jet propulsion.
By Vince Meyer
Hunt builds each boat to suit a specific buyer, including those in its two-year-old Harrier line. The latest model, the Harrier 25, features jet propulsion. Without a prop extending below the hull, the Harrier 25 can be run in very shallow water. Yet with a deep-V hull and nine-foot beam, the boat is stable offshore as well.
Driving the jet is a mid-ship mounted 315 hp Yanmar diesel engine. The hull design was provided by C. Raymond Hunt and Associates, who also design hulls for Boston Whaler, Grady White and others. Each boat is custom-built in Portsmouth, R.I. Hulls, decks and cabins are common across the line, but all other features are added a la carte. The Harrier 25 is labeled a yacht, even though it's only 25 feet long. Hunt says that's because the boat has "yacht-quality finish," unlike what's found on mass-produced boats.
Vital Stats * Length Overall: 25' * Beam: 9' * Draft (Jet Drive): 1'6" * Maximum HP: 375 (Gas), 315 (Jet) * MSRP: Starts at $124,950 * NMMA Certified: Yes

Pep: Man City takes 'big step forward' in blowout of Chelsea
Nicholas Mendola
Pep Guardiola knows it's not just important to dominate, you've gotta get results, too.
It's for the sake of the players, really, who have sometimes seen their massive volume of chances go unrewarded this season.
[ MORE: Pulisic Watch | Player ratings ]
That wasn't the case Sunday — well, mostly — as City jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to deliver good vibes at the start of 2021 with a 3-1 win.
"The result is so important but especially the way that we played," Guardiola said, via Football.London. "This is the way we have to play. It doesnt always work but today the players did really well. … We made a big step forward playing one of the best teams in the league at Stamford Bridge."
Guardiola says that City looks like itself again, though he refused to be drawn into the title debate because "Everything is weird" this season with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
He says City will target being in the title picture with "six or seven" matches to go in the season, but clearly the win over Chelsea has him chuffed.
"Same manager, same backroom staff, the players are the same and the ideas are completely the same," he said. "The way we won leagues and titles and other things is the way we played today. The tempo we have missed in the past, today we recovered it."
