Demonstrations are quite common these days in Buenos Aires. Argentineans virtually insist on their assured right of free assembly and know about the absolute necessity to demonstrate for their causes. This group of protesters is demanding the abolition of resolution 041. They claim that the implementation of this resolution ruins their basis of life.
I don't know what the resolution 041 is all about; if you know what's at stake, please let me know.
The possibility to voice one's opinion is being threatened in many countries so, whatever the issue here, let's support the right to demonstrate peacefully in Tehran and elsewhere.
I think, as Per Stromsjo, pointed out that certain freedoms, including the right of peaceful assembly, are under attack around the world as the powers-that-be feel threatened when their stupid policies create anger and frustration.
We need a few demonstrations here!
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now!
I admire governents that allow their citizens to express their opinions!
Its ok in Spanish? Las demostraciones es lo unico que le queda a los pueblos para demostrar sus carencias, exigencias o inclinaciones politicas, como esta sucediendo en Iran. Algunas personas en Mexico tenemos la impresion que la Sra. Kirchner esta haciendo bien las cosas, no como el gobierno de nuestro pais que esta completamente alineado. Esta foto es magnifica por su espontaneidad! Saludos.
I think that a lot of people rethink the value of their right to demonstrate peacefully these days. This right is an absolute necessity. What happens in Iran is terrible.
Yes, it is indeed hard to figure out what their agenda is in detail. They would be doing better using the Internet and making a blog or something. If you don't know what they are standing for you are probably not going to support them.
I agree demonstrations are the only thing that is left to the people. In Buenos Aires demonstrating is a very common way to express anger, political thoughts and demands. You can see them almost every day.
They seem to be using colourful language. Apparently, they were chanting ""UNIDAD DE LOS TRABAJADORES Y AL QUE NO LE GUSTE, SE JODE, SE JODE"". I will leave it to someone else to translate.
Thanks a lot! Indeed, the language is quite explicit.
Don't we have enough laws? I know we have more than enough politicians.

The Imperial Constraint on Lachlan Macquarie
J. J. Spigelman
At 2 p.m. on Thursday, October 7, 1819, Governor Lachlan Macquarie laid a foundation stone for a new building on the edge of the unkempt open space, partly used as a racetrack, upon which the Governor had grandiloquently conferred the aspirational title Hyde Park.[1] In accordance with the practice of the time, the stone bore no inscription as to the intended use of the building. That was fortunate. The building, designed by the convict architect Francis Greenway, was proclaimed on that day to be a courthouse. In fact, the building, with slightly modified plans, primarily above the level of the…

Note the words on the parapet at the top of the building: "H M PRISON FOR __MEN". It originally read "H M PRISON FOR WOMEN" as it was a purpose-built female prison. The change, reflected in the altered parapet, was implemented in the 1920s when this building became No 2 Division and housed long-term male inmates instead.

This bell served a dual purpose: a call to attention for the prisoners and an alarm clock for the local neighbourhood.

At last week's event, Apple demoed some of the early apps that will take advantage of the larger screen on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Specifically, the company explained how iPhone apps can now use iPad-like two-column views in landscape mode. One of those apps demoed, CNN App for iPhone, has now received its all-important iPhone 6 update.
You can experience these new features beginning tomorrow, Sept 19 when the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are officially released.
The free CNN App for iPhone is available to download on the App Store.

Q: Assigning first-responder status failed I have a little application with two views. What I don't understand is that I can't seemed to manage how I can manually assign the first responder status to a particular view.
I have this code in awakeFromNib method.
-(void)awakeFromNib{
NSView *a = [[firstView alloc]init];
NSView *b = [[secondVIew alloc]init];

[b becomeFirstResponder];
[a resignFirstResponder];

}

Why is this not working?

A: For starters I would resign first before becoming first responder.
For a more detailed answer we need to know the layout of the view in relation to the view controller. Typically, you assign firstResponder in a viewcontroller. Since you are overriding awakeFromNib its clear that this snippet isn't in a viewController.
Lastly, don't forget to call super.

Measurement Invariance of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) between the United States of America, India and the United Kingdom
Pontes, Halley and Stavropoulos, V. and Griffiths, M.D. (2017) Measurement Invariance of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) between the United States of America, India and the United Kingdom. Psychiatry Research 257 , pp. 472-478. ISSN 0165-1781.
43460.pdf - Author's Accepted Manuscript
Official URL: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychres.2017.08.013
The Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) has been extensively used worldwide to assess Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) behaviors. Therefore, investigating cultural limitations and implications in its applicability is necessary. The cross-cultural feasibility of a test can be psychometrically evaluated with measurement invariance analyses. Thus, the present study used Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) to examine the IGDS9-SF measurement invariance across gamers from the United States of America (USA), India, and the United Kingdom (UK). A total of 1013 gamers from the USA (n = 405), India (n = 336), and the UK (n = 272) were recruited. Although the one-factor structure of the IGD construct was supported, cross-country variations were demonstrated considering the way that this was reflected on items assessing preoccupation/salience, tolerance, deception, gaming escapism/mood modification, as well as daily activities' impairment related to gaming. Furthermore, the same scores on items assessing withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, lack of control over gaming engagement, escapism/mood modification and daily activities impairment associated to gaming, have been found to reflect various levels of IGD severity across the three groups. The implications of these results are further discussed in the context of existing evidence regarding the assessment of IGD.

This is the first in a 4-part 'how-to' series of tips and tricks to add curb appeal to your home all year long. And with the official start of Spring just a few short days away we figured it was the perfect time to get started.
For those of us who love to garden and watch things bloom, every year it feels like Spring just can't get here quick enough. When it comes to your curb appeal, Spring is the first chance we get each year to really make that "wow" impact.
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN PLANTING THIS SPRING.
When planting under or around trees, keep in mind the amount of light your plant needs and how that might change once all the leaves return to the trees. We'll talk more about planting in the "right spot" in our summer post.
It's so easy to get impatient. The nurseries and stores get packed early with beautiful plants – most of which are will not react well to freezing temperatures. Be patient and don't fall into the trap of buying and planting too much, too soon. Trust us – you'll thank us later.
WHILE THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT PLANTS THAT LOVE OUR SOUTHERN CLIMATE, HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITES.
A true staple in any southern landscape. This hardy, prolific bloomer is the gift that keeps giving all season long. Knock Out Roses come in a variety of colors and options, including traditional pink, yellow, light pink – just to name a few. Unlike traditional roses, this variety is very easy to maintain and requires little care and attention. Plant these anywhere you want to make a statement – but remember, as with most roses, plant in a full-sun location. A few of our favorite locations to plant include; near your mailbox – but not too close to risk causing your mail deliverer injury as well as in front of a window on the front-side of your house. This allows not only those passing by to enjoy the view, but also provides some visual excitement when looking out the windows.
Almost as commonly found in the southern garden as the rose, azaleas are a popular choice due to their large, colorful blooms, and low-maintenance needs. Plant in the right location, provide the proper care and your Encore azaleas will explode with blooms in both the spring and fall. The Encore azaleas come in over 20 colors and shades and are sold at most local nurseries including Pike Nurseries as well as the Home Depot.
Another common favorite is the Salvia plant. While you can occasionally stumble across an annual variety of this plant, we're talking about the perennial one here. Recognized for its deep blue-violet color, the Salvia will bloom consistently from about May through October. This is another plant that loves full sun and even does well during the driest parts of the summer. Salvia is perfect inside beds, adding some character and interest that's usually saved for beds in front of the house. Group a few together to really make an impact!

About John Ferrentino
There is a great deal of magic involved with comedy and there is a lot of good comedy involved in magic. In the case of John Ferrentino, that statement can be taken literally. The Long Island born and bred comedian has long been one of the most innovative forces on both the comedy and magic scenes for the last decade.
As a kid, John Ferrentino spent most of his spare time hanging around local magic shops. He didn't realize that his hobby and fascination with the art of magic would be his calling, but he realized early that it would always have a special place in his life. His grandfather spurred his interest by buying him a "huge magic kit" at age seven and it quickly led to regular trips to the library and constant research. He was a sucker for tricks, any tricks, and regularly bought even the smallest of gimmicks from little quarter machines. His road was being paved, but it would take a few more years to read the obvious signs.
Adulthood brought with it a need for a serious career and Ferrentino began a career as an X-ray technician at the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center. He always managed to find time for his hobby, though, and in the late 70's, began frequenting a club called The White House in Massapequa, Long Island.
Owned and operated by an entrepreneur who went by the stage name of Richard M. Dixon (he was at one time a noted President Nixon impersonator), The White House was the forerunner to the comedy club scene on Long Island. Quickly becoming a regular at the talent showcase, Ferrentino became a cornerstone of the burgeoning scene along with noted comics like Bob Nelson, Eddie Murphy, Jackie The Joke Man Martling, and Rosie O'Donnell. It was during the years at "The White House" that Ferrentino began to combine his skills as an illusionist with stand-up comedy.
Meanwhile, on his day job, Ferrentino began winning raves as the comic relief at the hospital, regularly bringing tricks to work and amazing his co-workers. Ferrentino's not quite so sure if it was the confidence that was building in him at the job or an intense dislike of working in the Bronx that shaped his decision, but Ferrentino was making the decision to roll the dice and pursue a full-time career as an entertainer. The late, great comic, Bob Woods, is the person Ferrentino credits as being the final support that determined his decision. "one night at Dixon's, Woods said to just go out there and do magic on stage like I was doing it for the other comedians in the back room." At the time, the magicians everyone was watching on The Ed Sullivan Show were either silent in their approach or strangely serious at all times. "What if?", wondered Ferrentino, and the act was born.
The comedy club boom on Long Island in the early 80's gave Ferrentino plenty of work and hungry fans who were delighted by novelty. Ferrentino was pioneering humorous comedy, equal dashes of sleight of hand, sarcastic humor and audience interaction. He quickly became a headliner, developing a large following that allowed him to give aspiring comics their first opportunities for stage time.
The second half of the 80's justified any lingering questions he might have had on his decision to go for a career in show business. In 1986, after being invited by the Valley Forge Music Fair to open a show for rock superstars Crosby, Stills & Nash, a pivotal friendship was taking shape, and under the strangest of circumstances.
It was highlighted by a member of the audience, chosen by John for assistance on a sword trick, soiling her trousers. The humor of the moment was not lost to the band and they quickly requested Ferrentino's presence as opener for a later tour.
Ferrentino, who had been one of the first regular comedians on the pioneering nightly television comedy show, "Comedy Tonight", was beginning to pile quite an impressive list of appearances during the explosion of cable television shows devoted to the comedy craze. He has, in fact, done 37 television appearances in the last 4 years, including the "MTV Half Hour Comedy Hour", "Showtime's Comedy Club Network", "Comedy on the Road Hour", "Evening at the Improv" and "Stand-Up Spotlight" on VH-1, just to name a few. He's also been featured on convention, the Tannen's Jubilee. He has also co-produced the New York Magic Symposium in both New York and California. He has appeared as a featured performer at the World Summit of Magic in Washington, DC., at the Society of American Magicians gala and for the Society of Magicians on numerous occasions.
John Ferrentino humorously refers to himself as the "best comic-magician $29.95 can buy". But for those who have experienced a performance, the tally would probably be close to priceless.

Cadel inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame
Cadel Evans AM was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame on Friday 4 December, 2020 as an Athlete Member for his contribution to the sport of cycling.
Cadel Evans AM cemented his place as one of the all-time greats of Australian road cycling following his historic 2011 Tour de France win. In doing so, Cadel became the first Australian to conquer one of the world's biggest races after two previous second place finishes, among his many appearances in the Tour. Cadel's success wasn't limited to the Tour de France but across all three Grand Tours, where he won stages, wore the leader's jersey and finished the tour on the podium. He became one of the few cyclists to finish on the podium at all three Grand Tours and to win a World Championship, winning the 2009 UCI Road World Championship.

Evans' many achievements as a road racer were capped in 2011 when he became the first Australian and the oldest post Second World War to win the Tour de France, the biggest annual sports event in the world and one of the most physically challenging. Some prominent media observers have described it as the pre-eminent individual feat by any Australian sportsperson for many years, if not ever.
Evans started out as a mountain biker, going on to win numerous titles as a young adult including the World Cup in 1998 and 1999 and placing seventh at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games for Mountain Bike Cross Country. By then he had already foreshadowed a professional change of discipline to road racing by winning the 1999 Tour of Tasmania with a hugely impressive mountain stage win, which prompted commentary doyen Phil Liggett to famously declare that he had just seen a future winner of the Tour de France.
In 2001, Evans made the switch to professional road racing, with early successes including overall wins in the 2001 and 2004 editions of the Tour of Austria and the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games time trial as well as a day in the leader's pink jersey at the Giro d'Italia, where he finished a creditable 14th at his first Grand Tour event.
After being forced to abort his first two planned attempts at the Tour de France in 2003 and 2004 because of injury, he finished eighth on debut in 2005, riding for Belgium team Davitamon-Lotto, the first Australian in the top 10 since Phil Anderson in the eighties. In the ensuing years he finished fourth, second, second and 30th.
In 2010 Cadel made the switch to team BMC where he finished 26th, the historical triumph in 2011, followed by another top finish, seventh, and finally, 39th, making him far and away the most successful Australian rider the great race had seen. Cadel earned much applause for his courageous ability to ride through the pain barrier after the crashes that are an inevitable part of life for all road cyclists.
Evans also became the first Australian winner of the road race World Championship in 2009, shortly after finishing third in the Vuelta a Espagna. Cadel finished in the top 10, 11 times, won stages and wore the leader's jersey in all three of the Grand Tours. He is one of only four riders in the history of cycling to podium at all 3 Grand Tours and win the UCI Road World Championships. Cadel's other big wins included the prestigious Le Fleche Wallone One-day Classic in 2010, the Giro del Trentino in 2014 and the Criterium International in 2012.
His many accolades include Sport Australia Hall of Fame's coveted The Don award inspiring the nation with his Tour de France win in 2011. Cadel has also been named the Australian cyclist of the year four times, male road cyclist of the year six times, Australian male mountain bike cyclist of the year three times and Victorian male athlete of the year four times.
Evans announced his retirement in 2014 and signed off by competing in the inaugural Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race the following year, an event held near his Australian base near Geelong and which was later elevated to UCI World Tour status, reinforcing his standing in the cycling world. He is the only rider in history to have been the world's number one ranked mountain bike rider and number one ranked road cyclist in a career that spanned 21 years.
He has been widely applauded for work with charities, minority groups and the community.
Cadel was made a Member of the Order of Australia on June 10, 2013 for significant service to cycling, and to the community.

Tweak says, "i've got more wit"
Περσεύς (Percy Jackson) ( seaweed_brains) wrote in wariscoming,
"Well if you ask me, you look like a fish out of water." He said with a certain warmth to his expression that obviously suggested he meant no real harm with his comment and just smiled haplessly. "Yeah. That's me." Raising an eyebrow as she called herself heavy, he could only allow an amusement to show in his deep blue eyes. "I can do a little better then drag you." Riptide, his ball point pen was in his pocket incase someone or something attacked, but he seriously doubted it would be the mermaid infront of him. Even still he felt a little better knowing it was there as he bent down to pick her up.
To Percy it was like lifting a feather, his earbuds still in his ears he carried her back to the complex with little effort though at a slightly rushed pace. He didn't really want to be seen carrying a blond girl off somewhere. It was weird enough being in Kansas. He didn't need people thinking he was some kind of teenage kidnapper or something. Weirder things had happened.
He deposited Rikki carefully onto a couch in the lobby. "Need anything?" He asked with a tilt of his head and pulled the earbuds away, tucking them into his pocket with his ipod. At least he still had a few important things with him. He hated being without his ipod, it was like only half functioning.

It's not news that Google is developing big data products to help advertisers analyze the performance of their campaigns. But what Google believes is the potential size of that market may surprise you: a couple hundred billion dollars, according to Morgan Stanley analysts Scott Devitt, Jordan Monahan and Nishant Verma.
This year Google introduced "Brand Lift in Adwords," a product that polls consumers to see if they actually remembered the ads they saw; and "Active GRP," a measurement that allows Google advertisers to compare their results directly to TV campaigns on a gross ratings point basis (that's the standard measure of reach for TV audiences).
Both products challenge advertisers to examine the billions they throw at TV or other traditional media and compare it to the results they see online. Google has gotten so big — it booked $50 billion in annual revenue in 2012 — that it needs to find new markets in the billions of dollars to continue moving the sales needle. Small markets just won't do. TV, of course, is the biggest single sanctuary for advertiser dollars. Hence the measurement push.
Neal Mohan echoed comments that Nikesh Arora, Google's Chief Business Officer, made in February – that online brand advertising (display and video) is in the first inning of a large online shift, and that Google is well-positioned to capture a meaningful share of those budgets. Mohan believes that "a couple hundred billion dollars" are likely to move online as Google and others provide brand advertisers with tools to measure the metrics they care about. While last-click attribution remains extremely important to many advertisers, Google believes that in the near future, about one-third of digital campaigns will be measured on metrics other than clicks – so Google is building active measurement systems to track ad engagement, as Google believes it to be a good predictor of sales.

Because this one is borderline impossible, I kinda bend the rules a bit. If the guard shoves you while you are in the targets vision, he will turn to loo at you. If you get the spot perfect, you can jump away just before he spots you.
Lol There was one very simmlar to this about some artist drawing a guy as a hero in Venice. I almost got him but Im pretty sure its impossible because even If I hyper blend to get inside, the only really safe place is a bench very close to the target and I think guards notice you before you can get to it. Its worth a shot though, lol.

Vitamin D Deficiency: Hypothesis or Hype?
Conference | ACP
Michael F. Holick, MD, PhD, the Boston University professor of medicine and well-known "apostle of vitamin D," attracted a standing-room-only crowd Friday for a presentation on his favorite topic. It was a performance that had the audience at rapt attention for a full hour-not just because of the celebrity of the speaker, but because of the extraordinarily clever and engaging nature of his presentation.
Michael F. Holick, MD, PhD, the Boston University professor of medicine and well-known "apostle of vitamin D," attracted a standing-room-only crowd Friday for a presentation on his favorite topic. It was a performance that had the audience at rapt attention for a full hour-not just because of the celebrity of the speaker, but because of the extraordinarily clever and engaging nature of his talk. Holick combined clips from classic movies, TV shows, and old advertisements with dozens of scientific studies to support the position that his claim of an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency and his recommendations for notably-higher-than-commonly-seen levels of vitamin D supplementation and sensible sun exposure are neither hypothesis nor hype.
Why vitamin D is so important. Probably all physicians are aware that vitamin D is necessary to prevent rickets, and most know of its role in the prevention of other bone diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia. However, Holick stressed that vitamin D affects far more than the bones. He pointed out that every tissue and cell has a vitamin D receptor, and he presented evidence of a role for the vitamin in maintaining the health and optimal functioning of nearly every bodily system.
Higher levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) are associated with greater muscle strength and better balance and lower extremity function. Vitamin D has been shown to fight infection: a vitamin D regimen in postmenopausal women reduced the incidence of urinary tract infections by 90%, and as long ago as the nineteenth century, physicians were getting results using cod liver oil and sunlight to treat tuberculosis. Recently, strong evidence has been presented of an inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and a variety of autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis (in Finland, which has some of the highest rates of type 1 diabetes in the world, the risk of that disease was reduced by 88% in children who received long-term vitamin D supplementation [2000 IU/d]). Vitamin D also plays a role in cancer prevention: in one study, the risk of breast cancer was 50% lower in women with higher 25(OH)D levels (48 ng/mL), and in another, there was a projected 50% reduction in colon cancer in adults receiving 1000 IU/d of vitamin D.
Perhaps less well known, vitamin D also appears to play a role in cardiovascular health and healthy pregnancies. Exposure to UVB light has been shown to lower blood pressure, and there is a 50% increase in the risk of a first myocardial infarction in patients with vitamin D deficiency. The risks of preeclampsia and prematurity are much greater in pregnant women with 25(OH)D levels of less than 20 ng/mL, and the higher a pregnant woman's 25(OH)D level, the lower the chances that she will need a cesarean section.
How widespread is D deficiency-and why? "Vitamin D deficiency is the most common medical condition in the world," Holick said. Across many different populations, the percentage of those with inadequate vitamin D levels is surprisingly high. Between 30% and 50% of African Americans are vitamin D deficient. Among adults older than 50 years, the percentage of those who were vitamin D deficient in August ranged from 30% in those who were white to 84% in those who were black. Nor are the young spared. Holick noted that in one study, 52% of healthy adolescents were deficient in vitamin D.
The reason for the high incidence of deficiency is two-fold. First, vitamin D is rare in foods. It occurs naturally in just a few-principally oily fish. However, even this source has become less potent; the amount of vitamin D in farm-raised salmon is only 10% to 25% of that found in wild-caught salmon. Milk, other dairy products, and some juices are fortified with vitamin D-but only 100 IU per serving.
Historically, humans got nearly all the vitamin D they needed from sun exposure-which, Holick pointed out, is an incredibly good source (exposing most of the body of a white person to the sun just long enough to turn the skin a light pink produces 20,000 units of vitamin D). However, sunlight is less strong at northern latitudes: at any latitude north of 35 degrees above the equator (that of Atlanta), no cutaneous vitamin D synthesis at all occurs from November through February. In addition, modern life styles are keeping people indoors during the hours of the sun's strongest rays. And on top of this, people are increasingly applying sunscreen when they do happen to be outside. Holick noted that the application of SPF 30 sunscreen blocks 99% of cutaneous vitamin D production.
What should our vitamin D level be? It's not enough to have a "normal" vitamin D level, Holick said. According to present-day metrics, any level above 20 ng/mL is considered normal. Instead, he said, the goal should be a "healthy" level-between 30 and 100 ng/mL. It is only when the 25(OH)D level is in this range that the full benefits of the vitamin are reaped.
Should physicians test all patients? Holick noted that the 25(OH)D assay is currently the most commonly ordered assay in the United States; however, he does not necessarily advocate additional huge increases in use of the test. Despite his campaign to raise vitamin D levels, he does not recommend universal screening. Instead, he suggests that clinicians screen patients with risk factors for insufficiency and deficiency (eg, those with a body mass index above 30 [vitamin D requirements are 2 to 3 times greater in obese persons], patients with osteoporosis, pregnant women, patients taking certain medications).
How much vitamin D to prescribe. To correct a condition of vitamin D deficiency, Holick recommends an intensive regimen: 50,000 IU/wk for 8 weeks. He notes that because the body uses 3000 to 5000 IU per day, having patients who are deficient take daily 1000-IU supplements will never get their 25(OH)D levels up to 30 ng/ML. Anticipating concerns about vitamin D intoxication, he stressed repeatedly that the risk of intoxication has been exaggerated. There is no need to worry about vitamin D intoxication as long as 25(OH)D levels are below 150 ng/mL, he said.
To maintain adequate levels (once a person's 25(OH)D level has been brought into the healthy range), Holick would like to see supplementation recommendations of 400 to 1000 IU/d for infants, 1000 to 2000 IU/d for children aged 1 to 12 years, and 1500 to 2000 IU/d for adolescents and adults. He emphasized, however, that the vitamin D taken in supplement form (either as D2 or D3;he said there was little difference in efficacy between the two) should be in addition to that derived from milk consumption and sun exposure.
What role for sun exposure? Holick noted that human beings-like nearly all creatures-evolved to live in the sun. Thus, he recommends what he calls "sensible sun exposure" as part of a vitamin D maintenance regimen. For a person living in Boston or at a similar latitude, this would consist of 5 to 15 minutes of sunlight on the arms and legs (not the face) 2 or 3 times a week.
Holick cited the irony of people's quickness to acknowledge other animals' need for sunlight (pet stores sell devices to provide UV radiation for pet iguanas, to keep these reptiles from developing rickets and osteomalacia) while maintaining a state of near sun-phobia with regard to themselves. He took pointed aim at dermatologists who advise always wearing sunscreen-but he also defended himself against anticipated charges that his sun exposure recommendations are dangerous. He noted that most melanomas occur on the least sun-exposed areas of the body, and he underscored that he does not advocate tanning and cautions against burning.
Holick's last slide was projected to the tune of "Here Comes the Sun." It was followed by thunderous applause.

The NHL expansion team's winning now is expected to have far-reaching implications down the road for free agents as well as off the ice for business ventures.
There's still more than half of their inaugural season left to play, but what the Golden Knights are doing now might have a greater impact in the long term.
The challenge for every new sports franchise, or, for that matter, any new business, is to lay down a culture of success. It was one of Golden Knights general manager George McPhee's mandates when Bill Foley hired him in July 2016.
That extended to Kerry Bubolz a few months later when he was named the expansion's team president of business operations.
While the Knights' are one of the feel-good stories in all of sports, they're accomplishing something more critical than amassing wins and sitting in first place in the Pacific Division heading into Sunday's 12:30 p.m. game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. They are setting a standard for the organization on and off the ice.
Between their on-ice success, their practice facility at City National Arena, their energized fan base, their home-ice edge at T-Mobile Arena and the way the players have responded to coach Gerard Gallant and his staff, the Knights are sending a strong message to potential free agents and possible draft picks.
The message? You're going to like playing here and living here. And you can be part of the winning culture that has been established.
Granted, no situation is Nirvana. Things didn't work out well for Russian free agent center Vadim Shiapchyov, who had a miserable experience with the Knights and is back in his native land. But players talk to each other and when the Knights' players get quizzed on Las Vegas, they have positive responses.
The other part of the formula is the roster. There is strong leadership in the locker room and the chemistry is good; everyone gets along. Remember, the Knights opted not to choose a captain and there are no superstars on the roster.
Off the ice, the team has hit its projected numbers for corporate sponsorships and has started a waiting list for 2018-19 season tickets. Bubolz recently said that all 14,000-plus fans who were looking to have some sort of season ticket package were accommodated and the local business community has responded as the team had hoped.
"To some, 'culture' is cliche," McPhee said. "We don't think it's cliche. We think it's very important to an organization. You look at the top business organizations and their cultures and it does matter.


When Marty Castro's father was told "Mexicans don't vote," he ran for local office and won.
Sharing his father's defiant spirit, when Marty Castro was prompted to skip school and work at the steel mill, he chose to attend school instead. He now serves as chairman for New Futuro and has been named chairman of the US Commission on Civil Rights by President Barack Obama.
That's because he grew up in an activist family. His parents didn't have the access to education that Castro eventually would, but they imparted in him tenacity, a love for his culture, and a social consciousness that ran deep.
Despite being afforded privileges not bestowed upon his parents, Castro's life mirrored his father's in many ways. Castro attended the same Catholic high school that his father had to drop out of in order to work and eventually fight in the Korean War. When Castro began to consider college, his guidance counselor attempted to dissuade him, instead recommending that he go to work in a steel mill, instead. When Castro's father decided to run for local office, he went to the mayor to ask for permission and the mayor said no, because "Mexicans don't vote." Castro's father ran anyway—and he won. With the same spirit of defiance, Castro applied to only two colleges: DePaul University and Loyola University Chicago—and he got into both.
Castro chose to attend DePaul University for undergrad. During the day he would attend classes and work as a "gofer" for lawyers, often taking janitorial jobs during the summer to help pay for his tuition. In the evenings, he volunteered at his father's political office. "It was an interesting time. During the day, I learned about politics from books and at night, I received my real-world political education," Castro says.
When it came time to apply to law school, expanded his options and applied to 12 schools. An excellent student, he was accepted by 11, but for Castro it was between two: the University of Wisconsin Madison and the University of Michigan Law School. Wisconsin Madison was actively recruiting Latinos as the time, which was rare, and the school offered Castro a full ride, along with a $10,000 a year stipend. Despite these unbelievable perks, he chose the University of Michigan Law School.
Castro enjoyed an illustrious career in law before founding Castro Synergies, LLC, which provides consulting services to corporations, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations. He also cofounded New Futuro in 2010, an organization devoted to helping Hispanic parents and students on the path to higher education. In 2011, New Futuro was acquired by AP Capital Partners, with Castro serving as the organization's chairman.
By all accounts, Castro is the illustration of the American dream. He was the first in his family to go to college and followed in his father's footsteps, running for Congress from Chicago's fourth congressional district in 2002. Castro was named chairman of the Illinois Human Rights Commission in 2009 and in January 2011, he experienced his proudest moment yet: he was appointed by President Barack Obama as the chairman of the US Commission on Civil Rights.


Each Friday I'll be sharing recent technology news. I want to keep you up to date on news relevant to some of the social media apps teens are using. This week I'm sharing some recent news regarding Snapchat. This news shouldn't come as a surprise to most parents. It's a concern many had when teens began using Snapchat. For those who do have teens on this platform, the article linked below is worth reading and discussing with your teens.
I also want to take a bit of time each Friday to share stories. I believe social media often gets presented in a negative light. We're so busy letting our kids know about the pitfalls that we sometimes overlook showing them how we can use social media in a positive way. My hope is to bring a balance in sharing useful information and positive stories.
The story this week is truly heartwarming. I love how technology offers a way for friends and families to stay connected. And, as you'll see in this video, you're never too old to make new friends!
1. Your character is who you are, both online and offline.
We need to be teaching our kids to stand by what they say and do online. If there is any question, then don't send or post it. These are tough waters for our kids to navigate. They're going to need parents who encourage and guide in love. Be sure they aren't afraid to come to you when they need help. Sharing articles, like this one from Mashable.com, is a great way to let your kids know you are staying connected because you care.
Be sure to schedule some device down time for your family this week.

What is the largest sea mammal in the world?
Asked by Enolakatarina, Last updated: Dec 21, 2022

The blue whale is the largest sea mammal. It has reached a record weight of 173 tons, and can reach up to 98 feet long in adulthood. For such a large animal, it actually has a fairly simple diet. It eats mainly krill. Krill is a small shrimp-like animal that is found in the ocean, and can give the blue whale - and most other whales - a lot of what it needs.
This is mainly because it is what's known as a baleen whale; they have something called baleen that is meant to help filter water and get the krill from the water since they are incredibly small creatures. The blue whale is also considered to be a threatened species. They are a popular species for whaling, a practice that has died down.
