"Tips For Dealing With Sadness and Depression"
by Vijai P. Sharma, Ph.D
"Depression with its characteristic sad face, stooped posture, and slow movements is universal; it is found not only in humans in all cultures, but even in animals, notably, monkeys, chimpanzees, and dogs. In the English language, we have even invented a metaphor to describe a sad face, the "hang dog" appearance. Everyone now and then feels sad, unhappy or disappointed because of a thought, memory, behavior or spoken words. But then such feelings are cleared up in just a few hours and we get back to our normal mood. We refer to it "occasional sadness or blues. " In many cases, the sadness or depressed mood may last for not just hours but days and weeks, and may accompany problems, such as, loss of appetite, overeating, sleeplessness, excessive sleeping, lack of energy and drive, loss of interest and joy, etc.
Unlike the occasional sadness, it is referred to as, "depression." Forty percent of the population reported occasional sadness or blues last year, out of which about nine percent (21 million) people experienced mild, moderate, or severe depression. Far more people, especially, of the younger generation, report being depressed today, than they did twenty, ten, or even five years ago. Our lives are inevitably touched by depression; a friend, relative, family member, or we personally will experience depression sometime in life.
Here are a few "self help" tips to cope with occasional sadness and mild depression. Be aware these are not a substitute for treatment:
1. Take up a physical, repetitive action such as, skipping rope, bouncing a ball, jogging, housecleaning, yard work, gardening, etc. Take up anything in which you can gradually build up your ability to move your body for 20 to 30 minutes. In the beginning, your body may not want to move at all. You may have to start with a light physical action for just a few minutes. Don't compare what you can do now with that "vigorous work out" you could do in the pre-depressed state. That will only depress you further. Just whatever you can do deserves your praise. If you want to compare what you are able to accomplish now with what you could do in the pre-depressed period, factor in the " 100 lb. formula. "Imagine that you have an invisible weight of 100 lb. tied to your back, legs, and arms. If you factor that in, you will have a correct appreciation of your performance in the depressed state.
2. Learn to divert yourself from the depressed mood by a) describing in minute detail the physical environment of a chosen area, such as the furniture, lights, fixtures, etc. b) expanding your awareness of the environment by seeing, hearing, feeling everything, relevant or irrelevant. c) engaging in an activity, such as, walking, reading, phone conversation, etc.
3. Resume activities that you have enjoyed in the past. A depressed person is likely to give up the activities that provided pleasure and enjoyment.
4. Imagine pleasant and relaxing experiences: Imagine scenes and situations that are pleasant and enjoyable to you, such as, playing golf, winning a lottery, basking in the sun on a sandy beach, etc. You can imagine a scene of the past , such as a vacation you had, or a happy event that is occurring in the future. The more details you can imagine, the less depressed you are likely to feel. Note, if you start picturing a negative, unpleasant experience in your mind, stop, get up, and do some activity or divert yourself.
5. Look for the humor or irony in a situation that makes you sad.
6. Pretend being back in time when you were not depressed. Start with 15 or 30 minutes and gradually increase the duration. Look at the pictures, slides, or movies of yourself of happy times so you can exactly copy the facial expressions, body posture, talk, voice, etc.
7. Assign a "depression time" for yourself, for example, "5.00 to 6.00 p.m.," when you allow yourself to feel as depressed as you really are. At other times, try to involve yourself more fully in performing various tasks and achieving set goals. Whenever you feel the depressed mood coming on, remind yourself as to when you will let the depression have its time.
8. View depression as a "nuisance" and not as a "catastrophe." Instead of telling yourself, "I can't stand this!" say, "I am strong enough to take this on" or "I will time it how long I can stand this. " This way you can avoid being anxious about depressed mood.
9. Eschew self criticism. Compliment yourself for coping with depression.
Get a professional evaluation to check your progress and need for treatment. These ideas can be used along with treatment."

September 29, 2018, 7:41 PM · I see a lot of professionals do this when they're playing tremolo or some sort of staccato, but it's never been taught to me (my teacher even does this). I'm sure this is something they're aware of, so what is the advantage of doing it?
September 29, 2018, 8:56 PM · The advantage is that your lifting your pinkie means that your wrist is turning counter-clockwise into its most efficient position and quick movements (like staccato, tremolo, bowed ornaments in fiddle music) feel effortless. Fiddlers will say that bowing is done with the thumb and the first and second finger of your hand, which isn't true for people wanting to control the lift of the bow or play closer to the frog, but it gives you an idea of how the quickest movements are done.
September 30, 2018, 8:40 PM · Reality; The fourth finger is shorter than the third. Depending of your individual anatomy, bow-hold, playing angles, at some point on a down-bow stroke, the fourth will extend until is straight. If you insist on it being straight and rigid on the stick, the right hand will be in danger of being locked, inflexible, loosing control, tone quality and even volume. So you let it come off the stick. The tremelo at the tip is a perfect example. Some folk fiddlers, who never bounce the bow, and rarely play near he frog, will have the little finger off all the time.


You should take a look at the survey produced by YouthAndReligion.com which shows dramatic differences in the various religious sects on what percentage of youth will actively pursue the religion of their parents.
The biggest factor is not the type of preaching that happens in a church, but the preaching, love and worship activities that take place daily in the home.
Roland, thanks for your comment. I will whole heartily agree. But we must make sure all that great religious life at home, has eternal value.
Al, It does have eternal value when God is the center of all we do. There is no other way. The only ones who will be doing more and fancier miricles than Christ did, are the antichrist and his legion. Are you a part of that or what are you really saying?
Thanks for your comment. I agree that the antichrists will be performing many great miracles. In fact they are doing that right now in the name of Jesus Christ. That doesn't mean that God's people won't be performing their share of miracles. Jesus said, you will be doing greater miracles than these, and several others verses are similar to that one. I am glad you realize that every miracle that is performed supposedly in the name of Jesus may be done to deceive people into following false leaders.


These simple yet elegant Trinity Knot drop earrings are enriched with white Swarovski® crystals and cast in sterling silver. A lovely piece of jewellery which can be worn everyday or kept for special occasions They can be matched up with the coordinating pendant and bracelet for a totally finished look.
The Trinity Knot represents the three promises of a relationship, which are to Love, to Honour and to Protect. However this is not the only meaning behind the Trinity Knot, as it is also used in Christianity to represent the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Here Mike cautions against overcoaching. One key quote: "Don't coach every dribble." He emphasizes the importance of letting players get into a flow in practice, especially because coaches will not be able to stop play in a game to correct every little mistake.
Of course, coaches will want to review a segment of a practice to correct mistakes, and Mike suggests using a criticism sandwich in those cases. But the worst thing that can happen, he says, is to create athletes who look at the bench after every play to make sure they did things right. "That's crippling."
Coaches should remember to smile and have fun during games and encourage their players to do so, too.
Santa Clara University Soccer Coach Jerry Smith advises coaches to let athletes make decisions on their own.

Novo Nordisk to boost pill-form diabetic drugs with $1.8 billion deal
By Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen, Nikolaj Skydsgaard
FILE PHOTO: Flags are seen outside Novo Nordisk headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark, February 5, 2020. REUTERS/Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Diabetes drug maker Novo Nordisk said on Friday it had agreed a $1.8 billion deal to acquire Emisphere Technologies, giving it control of a pill technology that it hopes will broaden sales to diabetics with an aversion to shots.
The acquisition comes as Novo's NOVOb.CO new diabetes pill, Rybelsus - its first-of-a-kind, non-injectable treatment - has been approved by regulators in the United States, Europe and several Asian countries.
The world's biggest producer of diabetes drugs aims to offer more of its current and future drugs in a tablet form.
"I don't think we will ever completely get rid of the needles," Chief Scientific Officer Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen said in an interview.
"We have been making injection drugs for a hundred years, but we just have to admit that if we want patients to get treatment quickly in order to optimise the long-term course of the illness, then it requires tablets if possible," he said.
Under the deal, Novo will buy all outstanding shares in U.S.-based Emisphere for $1.35 billion, while also taking over royalty obligations to the firm's biggest shareholder worth $450 million
Novo said it will make "substantial investments" into the platform and already has around one hundred scientists at its Copenhagen-headquarters working on improving the tablet technology.
"By further developing the technology, we hope in the future to produce the medicine cheaper than we do now, thus allowing us to penetrate more markets and give broader access to diabetes drugs," Thomsen said.

"Watching surgery in Bolivia was something you could never imagine. They just don't have the technology we have here and yet it was an amazingly successful surgery. All of our leaders made us all feel so included and even gave us lots of tips and tricks for applying to medical school and PA school."


Cap 3-8cm, brown and velvety when young but soon cracking to reveal a thin layer of red flesh below the cap skin. The stem is red-streaked on the lower half and yellow towards the cap. Very little, if any, blueing in stem flesh when cut.
Xerocomus cisalpinis is very similar but has strong blueing in stem flesh when cut, and the stem surface also shows blue when scratched. Additionally, Xerocomus cisalpinis grows exclusively with Oak whereas Xerocomus chrysenteron is found with conifers or Beech.
Usually confined to conifer woods and sometimes with Beech. It is thought not to grow with Oak.
Usually August to November, but sometimes earlier.

Mishimoto has released a performance intercooler kit for the 2007.5-2009 Dodge 6.7L Cummins. This kit includes everything you need to improve airflow, substantially decrease air-charge temperatures, reduce EGTs, and support your truck at any power level. The first key component is the Mishimoto intercooler piping. Mishimoto's engineers have maximized airflow by eliminating restrictive bends, allowing for a smooth and unimpeded airflow. This piping is constructed of mandrel bent 3.5" aluminum with a polished finish. This kit includes Mishimoto silicone boots with DuraCore technology and constant-tension T-bolt clamps for accurate and consistent holding force. Mishimoto DuraCore technology is the synthetic material that comprises the innermost layer of all Mishimoto silicone diesel boots.¾ Compared to normal silicone, DuraCore provides superior resistance to heat, pressure, fuel, and oil. This effectively increases the life of the boots by preventing leaks and blowouts. This package is rounded out with the Mishimoto intercooler featuring extremely durable cast aluminum end tanks and a bar-and-plate core, all designed to provide cool, dense air to your engine. The Mishimoto Cummins intercooler features a core volume significantly greater than factory units, which allows for improved cooling and power. Mishimoto's intercooler reduces pressure drop, which results in an overall increase in engine efficiency. All the components in this kit are engineered to last, just like your truck. Offered with either a black or silver core, the Mishimoto 6.7L Cummins intercooler kit is protected by their signature Lifetime Warranty.

Bayfront Park è un parco cittadino di 0,13 km² a Downtown Miami, in Florida sulla Baia di Biscayne.

Geografia
Bayfront Park è limitato a nord da Bayside Marketplace e dalla American Airlines Arena, a sud da Chopin Plaza, ad ovest da Biscayne Boulevard e ad est dalla Baia di Biscayne.

A sette isolati verso nord si trova il parco associato a Bayfront Park con un'estensione analoga di 0.13 km²: il Bicentennial Park.

Storia
La costruzione del parco è iniziata nel 1924 su progetto di Warren Henry Manning e venne aperto nel marzo 1925.
A partire dal 1980, il parco fu oggetto di una ristrutturazione da parte dell'artista e architetto paesaggista giappo-americano Isamu Noguchi. Oggi, Bayfront Park è gestito dal Bayfront Park Management Trust, un'agenzia della città di Miami.

Il 15 febbraio 1933 il parco fu la sede dell'assassinio del sindaco di Chicago Anton Cermak da parte dell'anarchico italiano Giuseppe Zangara. Cermak fu colpito tre volte al petto e ferito a morte mentre salutava la folla con il presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt di fronte a Bayfront Park. Insieme a Cermak, che morì per le ferite dopo 19 giorni, altre quattro persone furono colpite dallo sparatore, uno dei quali morì.
Vi furono discussioni sull'ipotesi che Zangara volesse in realtà tentare di assassinare Roosevelt invece di Cermak, comunque non fu trovata nessuna prova a sostegno di questa teoria.

Eventi
Nel Bayfront Park si trovano il Bayfront Park Amphitheater (con una capacità di 10.000 persone: 2.672 sulle gradinate e 7.328 nel prato) ed il Tina Hills Pavilion (con una capienza di 1.000 persone: 200 poltroncine e 800 nel prato), utilizzati per numerosi eventi.

Ogni anno il Bayfront Park ospita la celebrazione dell'"America's Birthday Bash" durante l'Independence Day, che nel 2011 ha attratto più di 60.000 visitatori.
Il parco ospita anche i festeggiamenti ufficiali per il nuovo anno, che richiama ogni anno più di 70.000 visitatori.
Altra manifestazione che si svolge nel parco è l'Ultra Music Festival, che si svolge in due fine settimana con 60.000 persone al giorno.

Il parco è anche il punto di partenza per escursioni in barca sulla Baia di Biscayne.

Circuito automobilistico
Su iniziativa di Ralph Sanchez, dal 1983 Bayfront Park è stato scenario di corse automobilistiche dell'IMSA GT Championship con il Grand Prix di Miami. Un circuito di 2.232 km venne ricavato tra le strade del parco e Biscayne Boulevard. Le gare IMSA si tennero tra il 1983 ed il 1985. Per il 1986 l'evento si tenne nel vicino Bicentennial Park.

Nel 2002, il circuito dei Bayfront Park venne riportato in vita dal Grand Prix Americas, un evento organizzato congiuntamente da CART Champ Car e American Le Mans Series. Il circuito di 2.232 km venne ricavato dalle strate del parco, Biscayne Boulevard 3rd Street e 4th Street. Nel 2003 il circuito cambiò eliminando il tratto lungo la 3rd e 4th Street ed aggiungendo un tratto su Biscayne Boulevard verso il confine nord del parco.

Risultati delle gare

Infrastrutture e trasporti
Ai visitatori si raccomanda di utilizzare la Metropolitana di Miami, con la fermata del Metromover di Bayfront Park, data la scarsa presenza di parcheggi.

From times immemorial, women have been tying their hair into buns. It's a convenient way of keeping your hair in place. Over time, variations in the bun have developed but the basic way of tying it remains the same. Primarily used for convenience, it has consequently found its way into formal functions, as a preferred hairstyle by women across most countries. In fact, there was a time when Chinese women used to wear their buns about a foot above their head, the kind showstoppers flaunt today. The fun part is that buns have evolved into categories and there are buns for both formal and informal occasions. Of course you love buns, and relate them to the lovely hairdos that yesteryears actresses carried with style. But if you like a little more zest than that oh-so-simple bun then you should take a look at the variations given below. Read on for different ways to style your bun.
A bun is the best alternative to ponytails, and other styles if you want to do something classy. The simple way to tie a bun is to sweep all your hair straight back and tie it into a ponytail. Then, holding the ponytail at the base, use your other hand to twist part of the hair into a ball. Use a pencil or some such object, and from the bottom of a loose strand while holding the bun, do a complete circular turn with the pencil, so that the hair encircles the bun. Having done this, take a strand of hair from the top portion and tie it around the bun, and then fasten it. When you shake your head, you should be able to assess whether the hairdo is holding up nicely. If it comes loose then you need to redo it.
Another way to tie a bun would be to dampen your hair and to comb it back. Pull your hair straight back making it taut and tie it into a ponytail. Using the end of your ponytail, wrap your hair around the base in a clockwise direction into a bun by using hair pins to hold it in place. The pins should be fixed from different sides, each pointing towards the centre of the bun. This technique is used to hold the hair firmly in place and, if done properly, it also ensures that the hair does not slip and come loose.
Buns are a way of keeping hair from falling all over your face and have developed into different styles; the upside down bun is one such style. For this hairdo, you start by making an upside down ponytail. To do this, simply tie a low ponytail and part it into two sections and pull the ponytail straight up. Now begin twisting the hair around your fingers. Then bring the twisted hair down and wrap it around the base of the ponytail. Keep pulling it at every stage so that you finish making it a tight wrap around the bun. Use one or two hair pins to keep the bun in place.
Start by brushing your hair as straight as possible. If the hair is a bit wavy, do not worry too much about it. Though this style works best with straight hair, a slight amount of waviness will not undermine the look. After smoothing your hair backwards into a ponytail, fix it tightly with an elastic band. Then, pull the elastic band away from your head and loop the end of your ponytail into the bun, allowing it to look a bit messy. This can also be achieved by letting any short strands fall loose. Next, slide your fingertips under your hair and slide it upwards to make the hair look a bit messy. The idea is to not have your hair looking perfectly in place. The hairstyle is now complete. To lock your hair in place you can use a hair spray. Nothing better than this to look adorably messy, in slightly rumpled clothes, to complement the effect!
For someone looking for a mature and dignified look for a formal or semi-formal occasion, the simple bun is quite the deal maker. But that is not all! Even if you are looking for a semi-casual or casual look, you can sport a bun and give it that funky look by pulling out a few strands from near your temples. The point is that whatever be the occasion, you can almost always rely on these buns to give you a look worth remembering.

Youth Engagement Statistics for Northern Ireland 2018/19 published today
Date published: 22 November 2019
The Department of Justice (DoJ) today published an Official Research and Statistical Bulletin on 'Youth Engagement Statistics for Northern Ireland 2018/19'.
This bulletin presents data on cases relating to young people (aged between 10 and 17 years) coming into formal contact with the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland for the year 1 April 2018 – 31 March 2019, providing some detail on those referred for the youth engagement process, alongside information on the time taken for that process to complete and on subsequent outcomes.
Of the 2,822 cases relating to young people coming into formal contact with the criminal justice system in 2018/19, 40.4% (1,139) were deemed suitable by the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) for resolution through the youth engagement process, with 57.3% (1,618) cases assessed as not suitable.
The majority of cases involving young people coming into formal contact with the justice system in 2018/19 involved males, (76.5%, 2,160).
Almost half, 1,403 (49.7%) of cases involving young people coming into formal contact with the justice system in 2018/19 were for those aged 16 or 17 at the time of their offence, compared to 1,419 (50.3%) who were aged 15 or younger.
Of those assessed by PPS as not suitable for youth engagement, 47.8% (774) were deemed suitable for prosecution and 51.0% (825) were assessed as requiring no further action.
The most common outcome from youth engagement clinics was a youth conference plan, with 49.5% (564) of young people following this route. Informed warnings were the outcome for 18.9% (215) of young people attending youth engagement clinics, with restorative cautions being the outcome for 17.7% (202) of young people.
The median time taken for cases to reach completion via the youth engagement process was 46 days. 80% of all cases had completed within 89 days.
Legal representation was present, or legal advice received prior to youth engagement clinics in 26.5% (245) of cases in 2018/19. In 73.5% legal representation was offered, but declined by the family or young person concerned.
For clinics where a restorative caution was the outcome and where there was a victim, they participated in 80.0% (72) of cases through their presence, sharing of their views or via victim impact statement.
1. This bulletin presents data on cases relating to young people coming into formal contact with the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland during the year 1 April 2018 – 31 March 2019. Additionally, the bulletin provides detail on those referred for the youth engagement process, alongside information on the time taken for that process to complete and on subsequent outcomes. Detail on the structure of the population concerned is also included.
2.This is the first year this information has been available and it is anticipated that it will be published annually. It is hoped that an updated version of this bulletin, containing figures relating to 2019/20, will be available in November 2020.
3.The data used in this bulletin were, in the main, taken from the Causeway Data Sharing Mechanism (DSM1). They were extracted primarily based on records contained on the Criminal Records Viewer (CRV). The CRV is held on Causeway and utilises data which originated in the PSNI, PPS and from Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service (NICTS). Causeway is an interconnected information system, launched as a joint undertaking by the Criminal Justice Organisations (CJOs) in Northern Ireland.
4.Data relating to youth engagement clinic dates and outcomes, sourced from the YJA Management Information System, are matched with the information from Causeway, to complete the dataset and information in relation to legal representation at clinics, as well as in relation to victim involvement, is sourced from PSNI.
5.The figures reported in this bulletin, in the main, relate to cases where the date of charge (for charge cases), or date accused informed (for summons cases) falls within the year specified, where the case was prosecuted by the PPS on behalf of PSNI, Harbour Police, Airport Constabulary or the National Crime Agency (NCA). They relate to young people aged under 18 at time of offence.
6.Official Statistics are produced in accordance with the Code of Practice for Statistics. They undergo regular quality assurance reviews to ensure that they meet customer needs and are produced free from any political interference. They are also subject to restrictions in terms of pre-release access.
7.The bulletin will be available in PDF format from Justice-ni/statistics and research publications or Analytical Services Group, Financial Services Division, Block B, Castle Buildings, Stormont Estate, Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast BT4 3SG

Prenuptial Agreement in Everett
Our Everett Prenuptial Agreement Attorneys Can Help You Protect The Things You've Earned
While nobody ever gets married with the intention of someday getting a divorce, it's important to fully understand the implications involved. Sometimes even the strongest relationships fail, making a divorce unavoidable. For people who own significant assets, a prenuptial agreement provides a legal means to protect assets before getting married. If you're interested in finding out more about how you can legally protect your assets, our Everett prenuptial agreement lawyers can help.
There are numerous misconceptions about how prenuptial agreements work. Our qualified Everett family law attorneys will reveal the truth about these complex laws, which are nothing like they are presented on television and the movies.
For starters, every prenuptial agreement must be balanced and fair, which requires the legal expertise of experienced Everett prenuptial agreement attorneys who understand what this actually means. If your prenuptial agreement fails to reveal certain facts about your assets or only considers your personal interests, the court will likely render the contract void if you ever seek to enforce it.
Our Snohomish County prenuptial agreement lawyers understand that you need a contract that will be acknowledged by the court, if necessary. With more than 50 years of collective experience writing prenuptial agreements in Everett, we understand the subtleties of this process and how the courts actually function in regards to these contracts.
If you're planning to get married, get professional legal guidance from one of our Everett family law attorneys. If you fail to protect your assets now, it could be something you regret in the future.
Should I consider a prenuptial agreement?
There is a lot of misleading about prenuptial agreements on television and in the movies that makes it seem like something only rich people entertain. However, prenuptial agreements are far more common than you may think, and ordinary people construct their own documents for all sorts of reasons.
For example, if one partner has a lot of debt, the other partner may want to protect their finances by crafting a prenuptial agreement that shields them from the debt if they did get divorced. If one partner owns valuable property, they may also choose to protect their own interests with a prenuptial agreement.
Sometimes wealthy people who marry someone with few assets will have their spouse-to-be sign a prenuptial agreement, just like you see in the movies. Couples who have children with other partners, or who have been married before, may also want to craft a prenuptial agreement for their own reasons.
Sometimes clients ask if a prenuptial agreement can include specifics about child custody and support. While you are free to include provisions concerning child support and custody in your prenuptial agreement, there is nothing written in Washington family law that makes them binding. In fact, the court will always act in the best interests of the children, and child support is calculated according to a predetermined schedule. If you have any questions about crafting your own marital contract, contact our Everett prenuptial agreement lawyers today

International Airlines Group (IAG)
Iberia Express, not Vueling, will be the low-cost long-range airline of IAG
Iberia A330-300 landing at Helsinki Airport
Spanish aviation news portal Fly News has learned from normally well-informed sources that IAG has already decided on its new low-cost long-range airline based in Barcelona.
When IAG announced at the end of 2016 that it was analysing various options to establish a long-range low-cost operation from Barcelona to compete with Norwegian from June 2017, it was pointed out that various options were being studied, ranging from a new airline to Vueling, Iberia Express or Iberia itself to be the operator of these routes.
Now, according to the news published in Fly News, this study would have ended, and the proposed solution would be that Iberia will lease out two Airbus A330s to Iberia Express, so that it operates the flights to destinations in the United States (in principle), although the list of potential cities include not only destinations in that country: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, Havana and Tokyo Narita are the "finalists".
The A330s would be operated by Iberia pilots and cabin crew of Iberia Express, so the cost would be minimal. This solution would already have the approval of the company pilots and cabin crew.
IAG however points out that this decision has not yet been taken and that it will communicate in due time.

Q: From Planar Graphs To Tangent Circles I have a conjecture:
"For each planar graph with vertices $V_1, V_2,\ldots, V_n$ there exist disjoint circles $w_1,w_2,\ldots,w_n$ in the plane, such that for every $i,j$, $w_i$ is tangent to $w_j$ if and only if $V_i$ is adjacent to $V_j$."
For example $K_4$ is planar, so we can draw four disjoint and pairwise tangent circles.
My friend told me that this fact has been proved, can anybody help me to find the proof?

The covariance function computes confidence interval bounds for the specified model parameters in the dataset. The method is based on computing the covariance matrix and returning the diagonal elements. The function may be called as "covariance" or simply "covar".
The covariance command differs from projection ("ahelp projection") in that all other thawed parameters are fixed to the initial best-fit values, instead of being allowed to float to new best-fit values. While projection is more general (e.g. allowing the user to examine the parameter space away from the best-fit point), it is in the strictest sense no more accurate than covariance for determining confidence intervals.
If no arguments are given, covariance is run on all thawed parameters for all datasets which have a model defined.
When running on multiple ids and parameters, the arguments may be given in any order (see the examples); any argument that is not defined as a model parameter is assumed to be a data id.
To control the number of sigma used for the limits (i.e. the change in statistic), set the value of get_covar.sigma ("ahelp get_covar"). The default setting is to calculate +/- 1 sigma limits.
Because covariance estimates confidence intervals for each parameter independently, the relationship between sigma and the change in statistic value delta_S can be particularly simple: sigma = the square root of delta_S for statistics sampled from the chi-square distribution and for the Cash statistic, and is approximately equal to the square root of (2 * delta_S) for fits based on the general log-likelihood.
the best-fit point is sufficiently far (~3 sigma) from parameter space boundaries.
One may determine if these conditions hold, for example, by plotting the fit statistic as a function of each parameter's values (the curve should approximate a parabola) and by examining contour plots of the fit statistics made by varying the values of two parameters at a time (the contours should be elliptical, and parameter space boundaries should be no closer than approximately 3 sigma from the best-fit point). The int_unc ("ahelp int_unc"). and reg_unc ("ahelp reg_unc"). can be used to create the contours.
If either of the conditions given above does not hold, then the output from covariance may be meaningless except to give an idea of the scale of the confidence intervals. To accurately determine the confidence intervals, one would have to reparameterize the model, or use Monte Carlo simulations or Bayesian methods.


Scarlett Vitucci and her twin sister Victoria were sent away to live with their grandmother away in Sicily for the last three years and have just come home. Their father, Vito is the biggest Cosa Nostra boss in the country and their brother Cristiano holds a high position himself. Ciro is her father's right hand man and Scarlett has been in love with him since forever.
He has stayed away from her for three years, but from the moment she returns, the struggle to stay away from her is real. Ciro is one hot alpha male and Scarlett is one hot mama! They have been friends for years and Scarlett has never had a problem going to him with her problems.
This was one hot read! Even with that I found myself giggling at times as well. You can kinda guess what happens with them but it's still a fab read and I loved this book.
I also am so excited for Victoria's book. I found the relationship between her and Volkov very intriguing. I'd say that will be one hot book!

The World Health Organization's head has spoken with Chinese authorities and the agency welcomed new information about the situation in the country, WHO said on Saturday after Beijing released new data showing a big jump in COVID-19-related deaths.
Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke with Ma Xiaowei, director of China's National Health Commission, about the wave of infections which erupted after the country abruptly dismantled its anti-virus regime last month.
"WHO appreciates this meeting, as well as the public release of information on the overall situation," the Geneva-based agency said in a statement.
"Chinese officials provided information to WHO and in a press conference on a range of topics, including outpatient clinics, hospitalizations, patients requiring emergency treatment and critical care, and hospital deaths related to COVID-19 infection," it said, while also pledging further technical advice and support.
Earlier on Saturday China said nearly 60,000 people with COVID-19 had died in hospital since it abandoned its zero-COVID policy in early December, a big jump from previously reported figures. The release follows global criticism of China's data.
"WHO is analysing this information, which covers early December 2022 to 12 January 2023, and allows for a better understanding of the epidemiological situation and the impact of this wave in China," the UN agency said.
The WHO said the epidemiology of the latest outbreak, with a rapid and intense wave of infections caused by types of the Omicron variant - which particularly affected older people or those with underlying conditions - was similar to what had been seen in other countries.
"The reported data indicate a decline in case numbers, hospitalizations, and those requiring critical care. WHO has requested a more detailed breakdown of data by province over time," the agency said.

Press Club of Southwest Florida Stands up for Press Access and the Sunshine Law
by David Silverberg, NPC At-Large Board Member • May 27, 2019 • 0 Comments
David Silverberg
On May 2 the Press Club of Southwest Florida Board passed a resolution calling on Rep. Francis Rooney to open up a closed "private" roundtable on harmful algal blooms to the press and public.
Rooney, who represents the 19th Congressional District from Marco Island to Cape Coral, had scheduled a roundtable discussion for May 7 at the Emergent Technologies Institute of Florida Gulf Coast University.
The meeting brought together federal officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration as well as state agencies and a wide spectrum of local elected officials to discuss the issues raised by the blooms. All were taxpayer-funded and supported public agencies and officials.
The NPC resolution pointed out that the region has suffered from the blue-green algal blooms and red tide in the past; that Florida's Sunshine Law intends to open government up as much as possible to the press and public and that these matters are of vital importance to all Southwest Floridians.
NPC President Julie Pedretti also sent a letter to Rooney advocating an open and public meeting.
Since NPC is committed to the First Amendment, freedom of the press and public access, the resolution and letter called on Rooney to open up the meeting to full, live coverage and adhere to the letter and spirit of the Sunshine Law.
Local media reaction
Local media were remarkably assertive during the affair, with WINK-TV, the CBS affiliate in Fort Myers, taking the most assertive stance. Not only did investigative reporter Lauren Sweeney aggressively pursue the story, calling every listed roundtable participant, but the station itself challenged the legality of the meeting that Rooney had declared was "private." Karen Kammer, a lawyer with the firm Mitrani, Raynor, Adamsky and Toland, in Miami, Fla., wrote to Rooney arguing that closing the meeting violated Florida's Sunshine Law and that he had no standing to close a meeting of state and local officials.
First out of the gate with the story was News-Press reporter Amy Bennett Williams on April 29 when she reported "Public, media excluded from upcoming Rooney roundtable on toxic algae blooms at FGCU."
Dave Elias of NBC-2 followed on April 30 with a report that got a reaction from everyday Southwest Floridians concerned about their water quality—and resentful of their exclusion. "There's something that government officials don't want us to hear; that's what I get out of it," said Emanuel Dimare, a Fort Myers Realtor quoted by Elias.
Similarly, WGCU, the area's public broadcast station, actively reported on the closure with Julie Glenn reporting on May 2 that "a concerned public, frazzled by years of limited information on the toxicity of annual blue green algae blooms, wants to hear what's said."
Rep. Francis Rooney
And even the Naples Daily News was moved to publish an editorial calling on Rooney to open the meeting in "Congressman Rooney should let the public in on toxic algae discussions at FGCU" written by Brent Batten for both that newspaper and the Fort Myers News-Press.
Ultimately, the roundtable occurred behind closed doors on May 7 at the university. Press and public were barred from attending.
However, Rooney held a second meeting of local conservation and community groups on May 10, which was open to the press and public, although no lawmakers, elected officials, or state or federal experts were present.
Nonetheless, the NPC stood up for its principles of excellence in journalism, a free press and the First Amendment and will continue to oppose improper secrecy and restrictions and stand for a free, open and independent press.

PWBA WICHITA OPEN

TEAM MALAYSIA EARNS TOP TWO SEEDS FOR TV AT 2017 PWBA WICHITA OPEN
WICHITA, Kan. – Last season, members of Team Malaysia combined to make three television appearances in four events on the Professional Women's Bowling Association Tour.
In their first event of 2017, Malaysia's Sin Li Jane and Siti Rahman captured the top two seeds for the TV finals of the PWBA Wichita Open.
Sin will be the top seed, Rahman will be No. 2, and they will be joined on the show by No. 3 Liz Johnson of Deerfield, Illinois, and amateur Juliana Franco of Colombia in the fourth position.
The stepladder finals of the PWBA Wichita Open will be taped for broadcast June 25 at The Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley, one of four telecasts at the Go Bowling PWBA Players Championship, the second major of the season, and will air Tuesday, July 4, at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS Sports Network.
Sin and Rahman earned their spots on the show by leading their respective match-play groups Saturday at Northrock Lanes, with total pinfall, including bonus pins, determining the top seed. Johnson and Franco each rolled through their group stepladders to advance, with seeding based on their averages for the event.
Sin dominated Saturday, averaging more than 232, which included her six-game performances in the cashers' round (1,375) and match play (1,411). The 25-year-old right-hander will make her third TV appearance since joining the PWBA Tour in 2016.
Despite the success in 2016, Sin entered her first event of 2017 with a simple mindset.
"Based on past experiences at PWBA events, I kept it cool," said Sin, who finished second at the 2016 PWBA Greater Detroit Open and fifth at the 2016 United States Bowling Congress Queens. "I'm here to enjoy my game without any pressure. Last year, I was trying to adapt to the format as well. This year, I'm not thinking about scores. So, if I hit my target, everything will be fine. Those are my simple keys."
Rahman was the tournament leader after qualifying Friday and battled with Sin for the overall lead throughout Saturday. She is looking forward to having a successful 2017 PWBA Tour season.
"For me, it's important because it's my second year here," said Rahman, who rolled a 297 game during qualifying. "It's my dream. I expect more than last year and have made some changes in my game. It's quite prestigious to be here competing with professionals on the PWBA Tour. We also are hosting the Southeast Asian Games this year, and our coach is trying to prepare us."
Sin and Rahman join teammate Syaidataul Hamidi as Malaysian players who have made championship-round appearances at the PWBA Wichita Open. Hamidi rolled a 300 game en route to her first TV finals appearance at the 2016 event.
Johnson, the reigning two-time PWBA Player of the Year and runner-up at the 2017 USBC Queens, qualified for her fourth consecutive championship-round appearance and continues to make a case for a third consecutive player of the year award. She defeated Clara Guerrero of Colombia, 237-236, to win the Group B stepladder Saturday in an instant classic.
Through seven frames, both players combined for 12 strikes, with Johnson holding a one-pin lead. Guerrero finished the match first and struck on her fill ball to finish with 236. Johnson converted the 10 pin to start her final frame and needed 8 pins on the final shot to win by a pin. Johnson left a 4-10 split, but it was enough to advance.
It was the second time this season Johnson denied Guerrero a spot on TV, having previously defeated the long-time member of Team Colombia in the Group B stepladder final at the PWBA Fountain Valley Open, 258-226.
Guerrero defeated Jen Higgins of Westerville, Ohio, in the semifinal match Saturday, 237-188, to advance to the final against Johnson.
Franco, competing as an amateur, will make her PWBA TV debut after a successful run at the recent Queens, where she qualified for match play.
She defeated Shannon O'Keefe of O'Fallon, Illinois, 234-165, in the Group A stepladder final Saturday, after O'Keefe advanced to the final with a 225-189 win over Shannon Pluhowsky of Dayton, Ohio.
Competition this week at the PWBA Wichita Open included two six-game qualifying blocks Friday to determine the 32 players for Saturday's cashers' round.
An additional six-game block Saturday morning narrowed the field from the 32 cashers to 12 players for round-robin match play.
The 2017 PWBA Tour season continues next week with the Pepsi PWBA Lincoln Open at Sun Valley Lanes in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Iran to launch Islamic tourist cruise
on January 31, 2016 | 21:05:17
An Islamic tourist cruise connecting Iran, Muscat (Oman), Salalah (Oman) and Mumbai (India) is expected to be launched in 2016, said a representative of an Iranian shipping company.
An initiative is being studied with the support of Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization to launch an Islamic leisurely cruise, Abdolhossein Khedri, chairman of Khedri Jahan Darya Company, said in an exclusive interview.
Khedri Jahan Darya Company, which is affiliated with Marine Silk Road Holding, has been providing the first-ever regular direct shipping services for cargo transport between Iran and Oman following an agreement signed between the company and Iranian and Omani authorities.
Cruise journey
Each planned cruise journey is expected to take around seven to 10 days catering to both Iranian and Omani tourists, Khedri said during Iran's second solo exhibition, which was held in Muscat from January 26 to 30.
Asked if the company plans to launch any passenger transport services between Iran and Oman, the official said that it has been invited to do so but the issue is that Omani vessels are very expensive and their fuel consumption is high.
So it would not be economical to use them for the transport of passengers between the two countries, he noted, adding that the company had decided to participate in the exhibition to use it as a platform to promote Iran's tourism, with the permission it has received from the Iranian government.
Omani taste
There is no doubt that Iran has great tourism potential but still many attractions in Iran, especially those which would be interesting for Omanis, are still unknown to them, he added.
According to him, the company had sought to introduce such places in the Muscat exhibition through the distribution of booklets written in Arabic and English among the visitors.
For example, visiting Persepolis is important for European tourists but it may not be that interesting for an Omani visitor, said the chairman of Khedri Jahan Darya Company.
An Omani tourist would find the northern parts of Iran or places such as Dizin ski resort much more fascinating, Khedri explained. The northern parts of Iran near the Caspian Sea, which is the largest enclosed inland body of water on Earth by area, are famous for their dense forests, impressive sea shores and spectacular mountains.
Dizin ski resort is one of the best and most popular ski resorts for sports enthusiasts in Iran, which is located in the Alborz mountain range.
Mohammad Mohammadzadeh, chairman of Rah Abrisham Marine Shipping Agency, which is affiliated with Marine Silk Road Holding, also believes that ski resorts in Iran would be appealing for many Omani tourists.
Other popular places to visit include hot springs in northern or western Iran, he said.
Hot springs in Iran has been drawing many visitors, especially those looking for traditional hydrotherapy.
Medical, religious tourism
Mohammadzadeh said that Iran has a huge tourism potential, not only in the field of leisure tourism but also medical and religious tourism given its many tourist attractions, religious sites and good hospitals and medical professionals.
However, he believes that Iran's tourism potential has still remained untapped and should be promoted further. The official said that Rah Abrisham Marine Shipping Agency is much more than just an agency as it is seeking to open new markets in the tourism sector.
Rah Abrisham Marine Shipping Agency is currently the representative of liner shipping services between Iran and Oman offering various services.
Mohammadzadeh said that the company is supposed to become an Iranian 'ambassador' in Oman with the support of the concerned authorities in Iran with the aim of introducing existing opportunities to both Iranians and Omanis, especially in various branches of tourism.
According to the Iranian embassy in Muscat, the flow of tourists from Iran to Oman increased by around 10 per cent in the previous year and the number of Iranian visas issued to Omanis showed an increase of around 37 per cent.
Oman Air flights
Oman Air has added a second daily flight to Tehran and there are plans to launch flights between Oman and the Iranian cities of Mashhad and Shiraz, the embassy has said.
Oman Air recently announced that it plans to increase the number of flights to Tehran.
Iran is known as the country of four seasons. At any time of the year, people can enjoy one of the four seasons in different parts of the country.
Apart from its majestic natural landscapes ranging from the shores of the Caspian Sea in the north to the coasts of the Gulf in the south, Iran has a number of unique cultural sites registered on the UNESCO's (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) list of world heritage sites, reflecting the country's rich and ancient history.
Some of these sites include Persepolis, Takht-e Soleyman, Bisotun, Golestan Palace, Pasargadae, Shahr-e Sukhteh, Chogha Zanbil and Jameh Mosque of Isfahan.

Q: How to pass complex ORM objects to background workers? I've been wondering something about how we pass complex ORM objects to background workers — in my case, Django models and Celery, but this could apply to any similar background processing framework.
I usually pass model objects "by reference" using the primary key. In quick Python, this would be how I send an email for an user :
@app.task
def background_task(user_id):
    user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
    send_email(user.first_name, user.last_name)

background_task.delay(user.id)

A coworker instead prefers to pass values directly to the task :
@app.task
def background_task(user_first_name, user_last_name):
    send_email(user_first_name, user_last_name)

background_task.delay(user.first_name, user.last_name)

I find the first method much easier to maintain :

*

*We have tasks using the second paradigm taking 10+ arguments coming from a single object, and these are quite hard to read and reuse because one needs to make sure that all the arguments are accounted for.

*Adding more information to the task means that you need to add more arguments, and make sure that they are also added to all the places that use this task, which is time-consuming and error-prone.
The second method has the following advantages :

*

*You do not run the risk of using the wrong information. For instance, with the first method, a model could be updated twice before the task can run, resulting in the first update not being processed.

*You also do not run a second query when the task runs since task arguments are stored along with the task, which could lighten the load on the database.

I am rather biased towards the first method, but neither of us were able to reach a conclusion on this.

*

*Are there advantages/inconvenients that I did not list?

*Can you think of some projects using either of these that we could use as examples?

*How should we handle this?

A: To pass model object in celery task you can use django's inbuilt serializer
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/serialization/
from django.core import serializers
data = serializers.serialize("json", SomeModel.objects.all())

Pass this serialised data as argument to celery task and there you can deserialise it back
for obj in serializers.deserialize("json", data):
    do_something_with(obj)

Eden Hazard has been named the Professional Footballers' Association player of the year for 2014-15, recognising a season of performances that have helped bring Chelsea to the verge of the Premier League title.
The 24-year-old, who won the young player of the year award last year and has built on that achievement with some impeccable displays this time around, took the prize ahead of second-placed Harry Kane and third-placed David de Gea. A few hours before the ceremony at Grosvenor House in London, Hazard had made his 33rd league start in as many games at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, where his side secured a draw that took them 10 points clear at the top with five games left.
"I'm very happy," said Hazard. "One day I want to be the best and what I did this season is play very well, Chelsea played very well. I don't know if I deserve to win but it is good for me.
"I continue like I did last season – I try to be the same," added Hazard. "I try to score more goals than last season [when he scored 17]. Personally I have played a good season, I have been there in the big games and I scored a lot of important goals, this is why I'm better this season.
The young player of the year award was won by Kane, ahead of Hazard and Philippe Coutinho. It came as little surprise after a season in which the 21-year-old striker has scored 30 goals for Tottenham Hotspur – 20 of them in the Premier League. He described his campaign as "unreal".
Kane, who also scored on his England debut in March within 79 seconds of entering the pitch against Lithuania, had been named alongside Hazard in the PFA Team of the Year earlier on Sunday. Five other Chelsea players also made the XI and were joined by De Gea, Ryan Bertrand, Coutinho and Alexis Sanchez.
