Why those who don't have children should be entitled to breaks from work too
While harassed parents and the single childless can end up stereotyping each other, isn't it fair both get a chance to explore life away from work?
Carolyn Hitt
At times of middle-youth existential angst when our work-life balance was permanently grounded on the work side of the see-saw, my pal Karen Price and I used to muse: "Wouldn't it be great if there was maternity leave with no kids."
Single, knackered and frazzled by the responsibility of mortgage-earning, older relatives' care and finding builders who wouldn't rip us off when dealing with massive house maintenance issues, we yearned to stop the world and get off. Just for a bit.
Have some space. Take some time. Get things sorted. And all in the knowledge that our jobs would still be waiting when we went back.
Thank goodness we only kept this idea between ourselves. For if we had dared to articulate it, we might now be facing the tide of fury that has engulfed Meghann Foye.
Foye is an American journalist and author of the novel Meternity. As its punning title suggests its protagonist Liz – a burned-out magazine writer – takes maternity leave but fakes the actual giving birth bit. As Foye explains in a newspaper interview, the book expresses a fantasy prompted by her own working life.
"I was 31 years old in 2009 and I loved my career. As an editor at a popular magazine, I got to work on big stories, attend cool events and meet famous celebs all the time.
If you are a parent... 13 hacks to make life with kids a bit easier
"And yet, after 10 years of working in a job where I was always on deadline, I couldn't help but feel envious when parents on staff left the office at 6pm to tend to their children, while it was assumed co-workers without kids would stay behind to pick up the slack.
"'You know, I need a maternity leave!' I told one of my pregnant friends. She laughed, and we spent the afternoon plotting my escape from my 10-hour days, fake baby bump and all.
"Of course, that didn't happen. But the more I thought about it, the more I came to believe in the value of a 'meternity leave' – which is, to me, a sabbatical-like break that allows women and, to a lesser degree, men to shift their focus to the part of their lives that doesn't revolve around their jobs."
Foye adds: "For women who follow a 'traditional path', this pause often naturally comes in your late 20s or early 30s, when a wedding, pregnancy and babies means that your personal life takes centre stage. But for those who end up on the 'other path', that socially mandated time and space for self-reflection may never come."
It's worth pointing out that Foye's plea for me time is expressed in an American context. Their work-life balance is even more skewed than ours, thanks to the measly annual leave provision stateside. In a previous company where I worked, we had an American office manager who almost cried when she learned we have 20 days' paid holiday a year. "I know, it's not great, is it? Most people get 25 days," I told her before discovering she was actually weeping tears of joy.
On this side of the Atlantic, Foye's implicit comparison of find yourself time and maternity leave has outraged many who have experienced a work break to produce and rear a small person. She was subjected to a rather brutal Trial by Phil and Holly on This Morning last week. Check it out on YouTube.
Rude, aggressive and without any attempt at reflecting both sides of the argument, it is one of the meanest interviews I've ever seen on television. Schofield and Willoughby laid into Foye with a sneering venom that even Paxo would baulk at. It's put me off the pair for life. To her credit, the author set out her case with polite patience.
Others have responded to Foye's meternity idea by painting such a bleak and terrifying picture of bringing up baby – complete with the kind of physical agonies rarely witnessed outside Game of Thrones – it's a wonder the human race has continued to reproduce.
American blogger Elizabeth Bromstein wrote a riposte to Foye, complete with "Official rules and guidelines for maternity leave without kids". As well as no sleeping between 11pm and 5am and one shower a week, they included (those of a sensitive disposition may want to look away now): "You must rub sandpaper over your nipples until they are red and bleeding. Once this is achieved, you are required to tug on them 15,000 times a day. You may opt out of this, but you are required to feel like a terrible person."
David Cameron doesn't agree Why parenting isn't about being a Tiger Mum
And: "You may wear clean clothes for 10 minutes out of the day. A bucket of vomit, pee, poop and food scraps will be provided to you from which you must splash the vomit and food on your clothes when the 10 minutes are up."
As the meternity furore has shown, the sad thing is mothers and the child-free can end up stereotyping each other. For example, I try not to let my perception of maternity leave be clouded by the fact my local caff is frequently clogged by the glammy mammies of Pontcanna with their enormous bugaboo prams and Mini Boden-clad babies.
While I bolt my lunch, I eye their two-hour coffee break, maternal camaraderie and cute infants with wistful envy. Modern maternity leave surely has some perks. As my own mother used to say: "There were no lattes in our day."
Harassed mums struggling with sleep deprivation, lack of adult conversation and CBeebies overload, meanwhile, can assume the single childless are having it all. But it's not all parties, Prosecco and self-indulgent hedonism.
Should 'meternity' leave be allowed?
Elderly parents become as significant a responsibility as young children, while those who live solo face all sorts of work and domestic pressures without the backstop of partner and family.
But however tough and tiring maternity leave may be, I'd also imagine there is a certain joy in the new perspective on life the addition of a child must bring.
So is it really so selfish for those who don't have children to take time out and seek an alternative sense of meaning in life beyond the nine-to-five?

Governor Laura Kelly Announces New Wind Energy Initiative
TOPEKA –Governor Laura Kelly today applauded the announcement of the new Renewables Direct initiative at Evergy.
"Renewable energy is good for the environment and the Kansas economy – particularly as we work to overcome COVID-19-related economic challenges," Governor Laura Kelly said. "Today's announcement from Evergy is further showing Kansas' position as a regional and national leader in the development and expansion of wind power."
Renewables Direct provides long-term price stability and competitive pricing for local renewable energy to qualifying businesses, agencies, and commercial customers. As new customers enroll in the program, Evergy will expand its renewable energy sources to continue to meet sustainability goals. The company has announced that more than 50 organizations have started receiving energy from two area wind farms this month.
According to Evergy, the wind projects created approximately 450 jobs during the construction phase. The projects promise to provide approximately $74 million in guaranteed payments to the county governments over its projected 30-year operational life and approximately $86 million in payments to local landowners.
"This is an exciting development in wind energy, and it's especially exciting to see this program in Kansas," Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. "Not only is wind energy production good for the environment, it's a major investment for future businesses in our state. Wind energy employs thousands of Kansans and fuels our state's economy. I look forward to the important benefits Renewables Direct will bring for the businesses and people of our state."
Soldier Creek Wind Energy Center, a 300-megawatt wind farm in north-central Kansas, and Ponderosa Wind Energy Center, a 200-megawatt wind farm in the Oklahoma panhandle, are beginning service in November and will provide energy for customers of Evergy's Renewable Direct program and to McPherson Board of Public Utilities. Soldier Creek Wind Energy Center and Ponderosa Wind Energy Center are subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC.
"Kansas is a leader in wind energy," Evergy President and CEO Terry Bassham said. "The expansion of wind energy in our area brings economic investment and jobs to communities near wind farms and affordable, clean energy to our customers."
In 2019, wind energy accounted for 41 percent of our state's electricity production, making Kansas the second-highest producer of wind energy as a share of total electricity generation in the U.S. According to the American Wind Energy Association, the development of wind farms in Kansas has brought more than $11 billion in capital investment and created more than 5,000 jobs. Each year, project-related payments exceeding $60 million are paid to state and local governments and in lease payments.

Synergy Resources is a New York based ERP company. It's focus is B2B and performance improvements. Funny coincidence: that was our focus too.. We were involved in overhauling their branding, advancing the look of their site and optimizing it for performance. Along the way, we integrated with online experience with Google Maps, Youtube, Yahoo Business, and carried out other work to elevate the visibility of their site and their position in the marketplace.


Nowhere is the customer experience more vital to the long-term success of a business than in retail. This is particularly evident as retailers work to ensure that brick-and-mortar shopping experiences are as seamless and personalized as those offered by their digital counterparts.
Pew Research Center findings. That suggests it is more important than ever to consider how the in-store experience not only remains relevant, but also plays a key role in influencing consumer buying decisions, especially when purchases are made later online.
In this evolutionary period, retailers must recognize that the employee experience is at the heart of the customer experience. Whether you are trying to draw shoppers into physical stores, increase traffic to your online site, or boost downloads for your brand's mobile app, the redesign of the employee experience requires an approach that is just as data-driven as the CX approach.
For retailers, this means taking a critical look at how sales associates are recognized and rewarded, regardless of where a sale is made — in store or online. In other words, it is crucial to apply the same digital tools used to ensure seamlessness across omni-digital shopping experiences to tracking omni-digital sales activity, and to appropriately credit in-store employees for their work to close a customer sale, even if it was made online at a later time or date.
Following are some ways retailers can leverage next-gen tools like artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and more, to rethink (and benefit from) an employee experience that gives credit where credit is due, in order to foster loyalty and boost happiness.
Elevating the employee experience has never been easier than in the age of AI. Today, retailers are able to take the guesswork out of decision making when it comes to measuring and rewarding performance, using tools like automation to ensure that compensation is fair.
However, one key challenge the retail industry faces is accurately monitoring the timeline of a sale from the brick-and-mortar experience to the final online transaction. For instance, if a man walks into a telecom store to purchase a phone, it can be tricky to track how an in-store associate influenced the man's buying decision if the transaction is completed later online.
With the help of cloud-based, sales performance management software, however, retailers can easily track the progression of a sale and ensure that employees are accurately rewarded for their contributions.
The software also can collect key information about the store associate's interaction with the customer. The application of SPM software not only ensures that the customer's shopping experience is seamless, but also helps to incentivize and improve in-store sales motivation and create a better employee experiences by ensuring fair compensation.
As with compensation compliance, AI-based software is a critical investment when it comes to ensuring that bias is eliminated from the compensation equation. What's more, pay inequity is coming under increased legislative scrutiny as companies are called out for steep CEO-to-worker wage gaps and dated approaches to compensating across genders.
To avoid the high costs of noncompliance (i.e., violating updates to state-specific equal pay acts) and make sure that their employee experience isn't disrupted, retailers can use sales data and predictive analytics, derived from AI-backed data, to document, forecast and reward performance based on skill level and experience. They can omit arbitrary factors like gender, race and age.
Today's workforce comprises five generations. Employees across such a wide spectrum of age ranges have varying financial priorities — from paying off student loans to coming up with a 20 percent mortgage down payment, to saving for retirement and more. Retailers can leverage AI to help them determine what kind of compensation would best suit their financial needs and long-term goals.
Another factor to consider is that compensation is not synonymous with salary. Across generations, the workforce is demanding more flexibility than ever before, which is why companies might consider offering alternative benefits that accommodate for individuals' busy lives — whether they are a new parent and need flex time to pick their child up from daycare, or are nearing retirement and want to spend less time fighting traffic to come into the office every day.
Additionally, spot or cash bonuses can be a fun way to gamify performance and incentivize associates to boost their sales numbers or membership sign-ups, while adding some friendly competition to the mix.
The reciprocal relationship of employee satisfaction and the customer experience is one algorithm that retailers don't need AI to measure. Investing in your people is the No. 1 KPI that retailers must prioritize now if they want to bank on long-term success during this phase of industry-wide digital disruption and beyond.
In fact, leveraging AI to ensure compensation accuracy not only will enrich the employee experience, but pay huge dividends in terms of your customer's relationship with your brand.

The immune system plays an important role in protecting human body against the development and metastatic spread of neoplasias. It performs this function through two main mechanisms: by eliminating cancer cells before they establish a tumor or by attacking cancer cells after they become established as a tumor. In rare cases the immune system alone is sufficient to completely eliminate an established cancer and bring about spontaneous cure.
These concepts are the basis of modern immunotherapy (biotherapy or biological therapy), which is a form of cancer treatment directed to re-establishing, stimulating or enhancing the immune system responses against cancer cells. Immunotherapy can be either "active", when it stimulates the patient's own immune system to fight the cancer, or "passive", when it is based on the administration of antibodies directed against tumor-specific antigens (therefore without inducing an active response by the patient's own immune system).
Currently immunotherapy is still in the experimental phase, although it appears to hold much promise for the treatment of cancer. It may be used alone or, more effectively, in combination with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery. There are several types of immunotherapy used to treat cancer, such as cytokine therapy, monoclonal antibody therapy and vaccine therapy.
Cytokine therapy involves the administration of immunomodulatory cytokines to activate the immune system. To date interferon-alpha and interleukin-2 are the only cytokines approved by FDA for oncologic indications, although many other cytokines are being studied in clinical trials as potential immunotherapeutic agents. Their action is based on the activation of the antitumoral response of the patient's own immune system. Therefore cytokines' effectiveness relies on the high efficiency of the patient's immune functions.
Monoclonal antibody therapy, which is still under investigation, may be effective when the patient's immune system is weak or compromised, since it doesn't require an active intervention of the patient's immune system. It is based on the administration of monoclonal antibodies directed against tumor-specific antigens, capable of inhibiting tumor growth and promoting its regression.
Vaccine therapy is based on the same principles of infectious disease prevention. Tumor vaccines containing tumor-specific antigens are administered in order to teach the immune system to recognise cancer antigens and destroy them, thereby preventing both local tumor progression and metastatic spread. In addition, since immune system is capable of achieving "immunological memory", vaccine therapy is helpful for long-term immunity and may be used to prevent tumor recurrence.
Regardless of the type, immunotherapy offers at least the same effectiveness as chemotherapy, but with greater safety and far fewer side-effects. That's why it offers much hope for a future effective treatment of a great variety of tumors.

A Marine Corps JROTC unit's Color Guard is often a very active representative of the unit at pubic events. Whether it's presenting the American Flag at high school basketball or football games, National Honor Society events, or school board meetings, the MCJROTC Color Guard stands ready to serve its host school.
In the community, MCJROTC Color Guards perform at parades, ceremonies, and sporting events. Several Color Guard units have performed at professional sporting events, including Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), and Major League Soccer (MLS).


Hiring a deck staining service in Kansas City lets you keep the wood's color and grain. It also retains the pattern and texture of the wood, all of which allow you to save and preserve the deck in your home—especially if it's been with your family for ages—than simply painting over all that, says the Popular Mechanics.
Another handy benefit to staining your deck is that you get to protect the wood against mold and rot. Daily exposure to high levels of humidity and moisture can take a toll on your deck. With deck staining service in Kansas City, you won't have to worry about mold compromising the wood or rot setting in any time soon.
The lighter and clearer the stain, the less protection your deck has against UV rays. If you want longer lasting protection for your wood, it might be prudent to go with darker stains. That way, you can hold off the inevitable wear and tear for as long as possible.
Paint jobs take a ton of prep work and time. Stains, on the other hand, are much easier to manage as well as a whole lot faster to apply. If you're under a tight timetable and want to get this done as soon as possible, then you'll be better off having your decks stained than painted over.

Ivantchenko foi campeão mundial em 1970, com 505 kg no triplo levantamento (165 kg no desenvolvimento [movimento-padrão abolido em 1973], 150 no arranque e 190 no arremesso), na categoria até 82,5 kg.

Ele foi ainda por duas vezes campeão europeu.

Ivantchenko definiu oito recordes mundiais — um no desenvolvimento, um no arranque, dois no arremesso e quatro no total combinado, na categoria até 82,5 kg.

Cincinnati -- Forty members of the new Northern Kentucky Infomatics Business Incubator network met today at Northern Kentucky University to kick off an ambitious plan to assist 10 new technology startups in Northern Kentucky. The group met on the Highland Heights, Ky., campus at the Griffin Hall College of Infomatics Digitorium. There the group was introduced to Chuck Lohre of Lohre & Associates Marketing Communications, who was selected to assist these startups, due to his company's leadership in Internet Marketing Strategies and Sustainable Development in the region.
Northern Kentucky native and company president, Chuck Lohre commented, "It's a great honor to be among the region's top marketers, lawyers, lenders and accountants chosen to help kickstart new business. It will be our job to see that the startups use the most effective and proven methods to accomplish rapid growth."
The Griffin Hall College of Informatics is the on-campus point of interaction for the entrepreneurs. Mentoring sessions will take place in donated office space on the 10th Floor of One Riverside Center in Newport, Ky. Each startup will receive $100,000 and six months of support from the Northern Kentucky Infomatics Business Incubator network. The incubator businesses will be chosen this fall and the program commences early 2012. Contact Chuck Lohre for more information on the program's requirements.

Instagram has been incredibly busy of late, announcing IGTV, Instagram Lite and a slate of features including Stories Soundtracks. But the Facebook-owned photo sharing service doesn't show any signs of letting up.
Android Police today noted that Instagram is testing a feature that would allow users to post questions to their followers and receive answers.
Instagram already offers the ability to publish polls to followers with multiple-choice options for answering. But this test seems to point toward the option to offer lengthier responses to user's questions.
One user in Indonesia sent a screencap of the feature in to Android Police (pictured above), and a user in Spain also spotted the feature. That said, we still have very little information on just how this might work.
Right now, when a user posts to their Story, their followers can respond via DM. With more open-ended questions and responses, it's unclear if responses will still come in via DM or be bundled together as part of the story.
The latter seems more in keeping with Instagram's push to make Stories as interactive as possible. The open-ended question could serve as a jumping off point for a collaborative story comprised of everyone's responses.
That said, this feature hasn't been confirmed by Instagram, though we've reached out and will update the post when we learn more.

Q: BigQuery - DELETE statement to remove duplicates Group by Id I am trying to use DELETE to remove duplicate records from my BigQuery table.
I found multiple solutions to the above question but most of them use CREATE, REPLACE or SELECT.
The closest solution using DELETE I found was:
BigQuery - DELETE statement to remove duplicates
BigQuery Standard SQL: Delete Duplicates from Table
I have a follow up questions on the below solution:
#standardSQL
DELETE FROM `yourproject.yourdataset.duplicates`
WHERE STRUCT(id, loadTime) NOT IN (
    SELECT AS STRUCT id, MAX(loadTime) loadTime
    FROM `yourproject.yourdataset.duplicates` where id= '123'
    GROUP BY id)

This statement deletes all the records from the table which does not satisfy the NOT IN condition. For example, if my table looks like below:
Id      Loadtime
123        5
123        4
456        2
321        1

The query above deletes all records except for the first row.
How can I modify the query so that it deletes only the 2nd row i.e. it only deletes group by id?
The final output should be:
 Id      Loadtime
 123        5
 456        2
 321        1

A: Below should work as per your expectation
#standardSQL
DELETE FROM `yourproject.yourdataset.duplicates`
WHERE STRUCT(id, loadTime) NOT IN (
SELECT AS STRUCT id, MAX(loadTime) loadTime
FROM `yourproject.yourdataset.duplicates`
GROUP BY id)

so, in your sample - it will delete ONLY second row
Id  Loadtime
123 4

Jacks Magic's The Purple Stuff provides salt water pool owners with an effective way to prevent stain formation in the rough environment that salt generators create, while keeping them free of scale build-up that can affect overall pool health. The Purple Stuff's unique formula is unaffected by high salt and TDS environments, and only requires monthly treatments to keep your pool spotless and healthy without adding complexity to your routine maintenance.
1.Maintenance levels for The Purple Stuff are 10-12 ppm.
2.To determine the amount of The Purple Stuff to add to achieve this level, have pool water tested weekly with a Jacks Magic Sequest Test kit.
3.If a Sequest Test is not available, an estimated dosage of 6-8 oz. of The Purple Stuff per 10,000 gallons of pool water may be added on a weekly basis. Please keep in mind that it is strictly an estimate and the only way to accurately determine the appropriate dosage is to have it tested.
In certain instances, The Purple Stuff can be used to reduce the severity of a stain over time. In order to determine the appropriate method of removing existing stains use a Jacks Magic Stain ID Kit.


The photo at tops shows a localized lake-effect cloud bank that has formed over the Montreal borough of Lachine, about 6 mi (10 km) to the east. It was taken from a lakeside park in Pointe Claire, Quebec on December 31, 2017. On the day the photo was snapped, the air temperature was -4 F (-20 C), and it had been bitterly cold for several days in a row.
The cloud is at the eastern end of Lake Saint-Louis, a lake in the St. Lawrence River that lies directly south of the western part of the island of Montreal. It's approximately 12 mi (20 km) long and 6 mi (10 km) wide. Most of the northern side of the river was frozen over, but the southern side was still unfrozen for most of its length. A strong prevailing wind was aligned with this open water. Lake-effect weather is generated when cold air moves across warmer open water, transferring moisture and resulting in frequent, and sometimes heavy, snowfalls on the windward shores of the Great Lakes.
The bottom photo, taken in Lachine at a point a little downwind of the center of the cloud-formation activity, shows the lake-effect cloud aloft, as well as the thick freezing fog on the open water. This fog contributed to an accumulation of rime on the trees and shrubs at places near the water's edge. However, there was no apparent precipitation aside from that produced by the fog.

The Utility of Instability
By Robert Perkins, California Institude of Technology | August 10, 2016

A team of researchers from Caltech and Harvard has designed and created mechanical chains made of soft matter that can transmit signals across long distances. Because they are flexible, the circuits could be used in machines such as soft robots or lightweight aircraft constructed from pliable, nonmetallic materials.
Unlike hard materials, which transit signals readily, soft materials tend to absorb energy as it passes through them. An analogy is hitting a firm punching bag versus a soft one: with the firm bag, the energy of your punch moves through the bag and sends it swinging, but the soft bag deforms your fist like a lump of dough and therefore will swing less.
To overcome that response, Caltech's Dennis Kochmann, Chiara Daraio, and their colleagues created an unstable, "nonlinear" system. Their findings have appeared in three papers published over the past few months.
"Engineers tend to shy away from instability. Instead, we take advantage of it," says Kochmann, assistant professor of aerospace in the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and one of the lead researchers on the project.
Stable, or "linear," systems are attractive to engineers because they are easy to model and predict. Take, for example, a spring: If you push on a spring, it will respond by pushing back with a force that is linearly proportional to how much force you apply. The response of a nonlinear system to that same push, by comparison, is not proportional, and can include sudden changes in the direction or amplitude of the responsive force.
The nonlinear systems that Kochmann and his colleagues designed rely on bistable elements, or elements that can be stable in two distinct states. The bistable elements that the team developed consist of arches of an elastic material, each a few millimeters in size. The elements can be in either a convex or a concave position—and are stable in either configuration. However, if you push on the element in its convex position, it responds by pushing back against the direction of force until it snaps into a concave position, accompanied by a sudden release of energy in the opposite direction.
"It's an elastic response, and then a snap-through," explains Daraio, professor of aeronautics and applied physics.
Collaborating with Katia Bertoldi, Jennifer Lewis, and Jordan Raney of Harvard University, Kochmann, Daraio, and Caltech graduate student Neel Nadkarni designed chains of the bistable elements, connected to one another by springs. When one link "pops" from the concave to the convex state, its spring tugs at the link that is next downstream in the chain, popping it to a convex position as well. The signal travels unidirectionally down the chain. The energy released by the popping balances out any energy absorbed by the soft material, allowing the process to continue down the chain across long distances and at constant speed.
A proof-of-concept version of the design constructed from 3-D printed elements is described in a paper published August 8, 2016 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This paper was the third in the series of publications outlining the new concept for transmitting signals. It outlined how the design can be used to build mechanical AND and OR logic gates such as those used in computer processors. Logic gates are the building blocks of circuits, allowing signals to be processed.
"These systems could be used as actuators to control robotic limbs, while passively performing simple logic decisions," Daraio says. Actuators use the transfer of energy to perform mechanical work, and in this case, the transfer of energy would occur via a mechanical rather than an electrical system.
The first paper in the series was published in March in the journal Physical Review B, and it described Kochmann's theoretical, mathematical framework for the system. The second paper was published in Physical Review Letters in June, and it describes Daraio's first experimental model for the system.
While springs can be employed between the bistable elements, the team also demonstrated in the Physical Review Letters paper how magnets could be used to connect the elements—potentially allowing the chain to be reset to its original position with a reversal of polarity.
"Though there are many applications, the fundamental principles that we explore are most exciting to me," Kochmann says. "These nonlinear systems show very similar behavior to materials at the atomic scale but these are difficult to access experimentally or computationally. Now we have built a simple macroscale analogue that mimics how they behave."
The PNAS paper is titled "Stable propogation of mechanical signals in soft media using stored elastic energy." The authors are Nadkarni, Daraio, and Kochmann of Caltech and Jordan Raney, Jennifer Lewis, and Katia Bertoldi of Harvard University. The work was funded by the National Science Foundation.

[WATCH] 'Marvel Battle Lines' mobile game demo at NYCC 2018 – AiPT!
A comics-loving card battler, with a twist.
Are you ready for ANOTHER Marvel mobile game???
I know, there are already a ton. But how about one that's not too simple, not too complex, and really puts the emphasis on the comics and the characters themselves?
I got to demo Marvel Battle Lines from Nexon at New York Comic Con this year. I've gotten board with PuzzleQuest, and Contest of Champions is a little too button-mashy for something I want to do on my phone, so I'd been intrigued by Battle Lines since it was announced earlier this year.
Interestingly enough, the kind folks who showed it to me didn't lead with the gameplay, but with their commitment to Marvel lore. Maybe a strange decision, but the comic-style layouts and the fact that 100 characters will be in the game at launch definitely grabbed my attention.
Battle Lines won't be a brain-burner — as the name suggests, it's superficially similar to good, old-fashioned tic-tac-toe. But it is deeper than that, allowing you to move your characters once they're on the board, and even smash into your opponent's guys to weaken them or take their spots. There are action cards, too, and the best cards cost Cosmic Cube fragments to play, so there's that currency aspect, as well.
And yes, I said "cards." Battle Lines also scratches that "CCG itch," as you'll be building up your arsenal as you progress. But being as comic-focused as this game is, you'll actually earn bonuses for having more characters from a certain group, like SHIELD or the Masters of the Mystic Arts (do you remember Nox? Nexon does).
Don't like comics for some reason? A lot of the voice acting in Marvel Battle Lines is done by people from the current Marvel cartoons!
Another cool thing is the presence of real PvP — you can actually request to play your friends and duke it out from either side, something not all these mobile game are capable of. Get the CCG experience, at a distance!
Marvel Battle Lines won't be for everyone, but if you're a Marvel nut looking for a medium-weight mobile game, it might be for you. No official word yet on whether there will be microtransactions or not, but as that's pretty standard now, and Nexon was one of the pioneers, it shouldn't shock anyone if it happens.
Marvel Battle Lines will be available for iOS and Android on October 24.


A healthy overall diet may be key to helping MS.
Helping MS with diet is a goal of many health care providers and patients. However, as there's not a single perfect MS diet available currently, sticking to optimum nutrition and healthy foods is a good starter plan.
If you're here looking for information about helping MS with diet, then it's a good guess that you already know someone, or are someone, whose life has been affected by MS. We're going to be looking at diet help for MS in this article, but if you are curious about learning more about MS, or multiple sclerosis, then the "what is MS" pages at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society will be very useful.
Can the Proper Diet Help MS?
MS is a complicated condition. Most of the time the variables present in MS make it difficult to say whether or not there's one MS friendly diet for everyone. Also, there's not a clear consensus among the medical and scientific community about a useful diet to help treat MS.
The best that most research can currently offer is that some diet adjustments may be helpful for people with MS, but there's no miracle diet plan for MS, no perfect diet plan for MS, and the same diets will likely work a bit differently for everyone.
That said, first, you can look at some of the current research revolving around MS and diet. Then speak with a health care professional about how this research and or diet plan may or may not be useful for your particular situation.
One of the better known diet plans for MS is the Swank Low-Fat Diet for the Treatment of MS.
15 grams or less of saturated fat per day.
20-50 grams of unsaturated fats per day.
Red meat is off limits for the first year on the diet. After that first year about 3 oz. of red meat a week is fine.
1 percent or less butterfat in all dairy products consumed.
Processed foods with saturated fats are off limits.
The diet also recommends taking cod liver oil or caplets, a multi vitamin, and mineral supplements daily.
Downside of the Swank Diet: The Swank diet claims to have been tested over 35 years and with hundreds of patients, but the information on the main website is scanty when it comes to details about the research, and they suggest you buy a book to learn more - a little shady but there are also other ways to learn about this diet, as you'll see.
Without reading the book, you may be able to learn more at the Swank website because it's really a full fledged community. There are diet plans, diet log sheets, and meal ideas laid out nicely, a recipe section, and forum boards. There are also small cool areas like "A day in the diet" and "personal stories."
When Ashton Embry, Ph.D learned his son had MS he developed ideas about helping MS with diet, in order to help his son. Embry's website Direct-MS is a good one to check out because he's cataloged many scientific nutrition studies that relate to MS.
Eliminating: Protein heavy foods that may cause autoimmune issues. Some of these foods include all dairy, gluten grains (like rye and barely), legumes.
Eliminating: Any food that causes allergic reactions.
Reducing: Saturated fats, omega 6 polyunsaturated fats, corn, oats, and alcohol.
Increasing: Skinless lean chicken, game, and fish.
Increasing: Supplements that help to increase immunity.
Read through the following resources to see if the diet can work for you. Something you may have noticed is that the two diets above don't differ much. You'll note this in some of the diets below as well. Most plans actually contain all the elements that a normal, but very healthy diet might. The point--one main factor that may help MS is a very healthy and well-balanced diet. This is how you should be eating for life, not simply to treat a problem.


The retrial of former Nets star Jayson Williams was debated in the state?s Supreme Court Monday.
Williams? lawyers and the state are arguing over what evidence should be allowed in his retrial on reckless manslaughter charges in the death of his driver, Gus Christofi. Williams? lawyers say the new trial date can?t be set until it is decided whether a new jury will be able to hear what Williams did directly after Christofi was shot.
The evidence in question was introduced at the first trial, but the state appellate panel ruled it inadmissible for the retrial. Prosecutors say the evidence is essential for the jury to hear, however Williams? defense attorney says what happened after the incident doesn?t shed light or give more information.
Williams was charged in 2002 in the shooting death of Christofi. He was found not guilty of aggravated manslaughter in 2004, but was found guilty on several counts of tampering. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on the reckless manslaughter charge.

'Resident Alien' episode 6 review: Harry's replacement arrives
Harry gets jealous and into trouble.
Gary Catig
Last week on Resident Alien, the sudden appearance of the real Dr. Vanderspeigel's estranged wife threw a monkey wrench in Harry's plans, especially when she arrived looking to repair their strained relationship. Despite his best efforts, the couple reconcile and she sticks around even longer. At least Harry resolves one conflict by forming a truce with his child tormentor, Max.
One of the bigger developments in "Sexy Beast" is the closer look into the government agents investigating the crash landing. Not only do we see how they were assigned to the case but we are introduced to their boss, General McCallister (Linda Hamilton). The opening flashes back to a young girl and her dad who are visited by an unidentifiable spacecraft at a lighthouse.
Listen to the latest episode of the AIPT Television podcast!
It's no surprise when the little girl is shown to be McCallister later in the episode. The character is a determined individual and is frustrated by the military burying the truth. Ever since her experience as a child, she's spent most of her life seeking evidence of extraterrestrial existence. Now, she's closer than ever after the exciting cliffhanger that places our resident alien in danger.

However, before Harry finds himself in trouble, so much occurs back in Patience. First, his replacement at the clinic arrives and many would think he's how the episode title received its name. Everyone becomes enamored with the new guy causing Harry to feel the emotion of jealousy, which is not a suit that looks good on him. The subplot is good for a few laughs but is a little drawn out making Harry's commentary as uncomfortably awkward for the characters as it is to watch.
With Dr Vanderspeigel no longer needed in town, his wife uses the opportunity to express her desire to move back to New York. This is pretty much the progress with this storyline as the episode pretty much punts it for a later time with Harry drugging her so she won't bother him. It seems like a cop out but it does allow the main character to carry on searching for his missing pieces in the snow.
It is nice to further the murder investigation since it seemed such a big deal after the premiere. Corey Reynolds continues to shine as Sheriff Thompson and is especially hilarious when he plays good cop and bad cop at the same time during an interrogation. He also comes off as less of a jerk when he finally acknowledges Deputy Sheriff Baker's good police work on the case. Probably his first kind gesture to his partner all season. Somewhat related, though it doesn't mean he's the killer, Asta has a pretty good idea who stole the missing prescription pad and it reinforces her poor choice in men.
"Sexy Beast" tries to address too many storylines resulting in a little muddled and fragmented episode. It could have benefited from a better way to interconnect and transition between them. Although there are some significant and fascinating developments, especially the cliffhanger ending.

Garrison N.Y. is a small hamlet in Putnam County, part of the town of Philipstown. Garrison has a shoreline along the Hudson River directly across from West Point military academy and has views up and down the river that look like Old Hudson School paintings.
The gateway to Garrison for those entering from Rockland County to the East is Bear Mountain Bridge, a fantastic suspension bridge built in 1924. The bridge has pedestrian walkways on both sides and continues the Appalachian Trail.
Although Garrison's name sounds militaristic in origin and the hamlet lies directly across the Hudson River from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the moniker actually derives from a family name. Harry Garrison ran a ferry across the river beginning in the early 19th century, according to archival material from the Putnam History Museum.
The area boasts a number of impressive estates dating to the 19th century or earlier, with entries on the National Register of Historic Places that include sprawling houses built by railroad magnates William Henry Osborn and Samuel Sloan.
The Pantry roastery and craft beer bottle shop is located along side of a farmer's market and garden center and nose to tail butcher. We have a full specialty coffee and espresso bar program, sparkling teas, bottled cold brew coffee & tea, chai concentrate, turmeric elixirs and ginger green juices. We offer locally made pastries, and our famous pantry egg sliders.
There are a handful of mom-and-pop stores in Garrison, including That Nothing Be Lost Thrift & Antique Shop. The shop offers a variety of choices – from collectibles to necessities – antiques to art selections – everyday items to seasonal bric-a-brac. It is a shopper's paradise. All merchandise offered at the shop is derived from tax-deductible donations and all revenues are used to support St. Christopher's Inn and its residents.
Golf, boating & kayaking, and hiking are some of the most popular recreational activities in Garrison.
No matter whether you're a novice hiker or veteran ridgerunner, the Appalachian Trail offers unparalleled opportunities to explore, experience and connect with nature.
Boscobel is a restored Federal-period house built between 1804-1808 with magnificent period interiors and gardens. The site is recognized nationally for its quality as a historic house museum, its exquisite collection of furniture and decorative arts, and its breathtaking views.
Fully-furnished with fine American furniture and decorative arts, the house has been exquisitely preserved over the years by the careful management of Boscobel's original endowment and through the dedication and hard work of its staff, Board of Directors, members of the Friends of Boscobel, partner organizations, supporters and volunteers.
Each year, the board and professional staff strive to further improve the authenticity of the buildings and its furnishings and to engage visitors through special tours, workshops, exhibitions and special events throughout the year.
The Garrison Union Free School serves students K-8. Students may attend high school either in the Haldane High School or James I. O'Neill High School.
The Garrison Union Free School District is dedicated to creating a mutually caring, respectful and stimulating environment. This will foster self-esteem and love of learning by empowering children to excel academically, socially, creatively and physically.
The school district will develop evolving curricula and instructional methods to meet the needs of the children enabling them to experience success and to reach their full potential.
These goals are accomplished when the staff, parents, students and community work as partners to provide enriching educational experiences. Our ultimate objective is to challenge all students to become self-motivated, lifelong learners and contributing members of society.

Author Topic: Culture of child marriage in medieval Europe (Read 28999 times)

Some 'uncomfortable' facts.
Child and teenage marriages in medieval Europe - common as a cup of tea.
John McLaughlin, PhD, writes in his article MEDIEVAL CHILD MARRIAGE: ABUSE OF WARDSHIP?
" .. in 1396, Richard II of England was joined in marriage to young Isabel of France, who had been 7 years old when their engagement was announced the previous year in Paris. Not only was there no uproar; there was considerable happiness expressed over the assumed probability that this marriage would end the Hundred Years War then in one of its periodic states of truce between the two kingdoms. Peace was to be ensured by joining together this man and this little girl in marriage.
"A social practice which entered the written record in the 12th century, but which seems to have had roots in the barbaric past, that extended from the royal abattoirs down to the lives of neighboring fishmongers and shop-keepers in medieval London, yet that seems to have received little more than passing notice in canon law beyond exhortation to limit it to age seven and ensure mutual consent of the parties ..... But still it is not even indexed in most contemporary discussions of medieval marriage and family life, from Barbara Hanawalt to James Brundage, GL Brooke to Frances & Joseph Giese, Ian MacFarlane to Georges Duby. It is not exactly passed over in their texts, when you read closely
" .... there is not a single book, not a single article, on the separate topic of medieval child marriage in contemporary scholarship, even where there are passing references in the middle of other discussions of medieval childhood, as in problems of medieval wardship.
"By 'child' in this context is meant a male or female human being above the age of 7 -- for either gender -- and below the age of 14 for males, and 12 for females. This follows medieval canon law, in recognizing these as the limits of infancy and puberty
"Thus, for example, when the Wife of Bath boasts of having had five husbands since the age of 12, she is not casting herself in the role of child bride, technically speaking, at least not in medieval terms. Lee Patterson's discussion of child marriage in Peter Beidler's lovely new edition of The Wife of Bath, is thus irrelevant to the present discussion, except as it relates to Richard and Isabel; Christine de Pisan, for example, was already aged 15 when she was 'given' to her husband, and therefore according to medieval definition an adult woman."
Rachelle Carter writes in Marriage in Medieval Times
"In the Middle Ages children were married at a young age. Girls were as young as 12 when they married, and boys as young as 17. The arrangement of the marriage was based on monetary worth. The family of the girl who was to be married gives a dowry,or donation, to the boy she is to marry. The dowry goes with her at the time of the marriage and stays with the boy forever (Renolds). After the marriage was arranged a wedding notice was posted on the door of the church. The notice was put up to ensure that there were no grounds for prohibiting the marriage."
In 'Juana the Mad of Castille' J.N.W. Bos writes:
"Queen Juana I of Castile (1479-1555) .... was born on November 6, 1479, as the second daughter of Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. At the age of 16, Juana was betrothed to Philip the Handsome of Austria (1478-1506), only son of the Emperor Maximilian I. For Philip the attraction to the beautiful, dark haired Juana (to the left) was carnal and little more, but Juana became totally infatuated with her husband ..... his life mainly consisted of feasting, drinking and chasing women - and he had no intention to change his philandering ways. For Juana, however, only absolute togetherness would do. She was too young and inexperienced to realise that she expected too much from a politically arranged marriage."
Now, here's an interesting piece form a 'historian' blogger.
This blogger then tries to justify the child marriages by saying that this practice existed only among royals and other elites and not among middle or lower classes, a point already refuted by John McLaughlin. The blog author writes "Church law forbade child marriage and allowed young brides and grooms to repudiate the marriage once they reached the age of puberty, which was officially set at 12 for girls and 14 for boys. So, the most common age for a young woman of middle or low status to marry was from the age of 22 years old." In the process the author acknowledges that rulers and aristocrats of medieval Europe did not respect the rule of law. This is what happens when writers try to use a lie as a cover-up .... it simply brings up some other serious contradiction.
Now, marriages of noble and royal women were usually for political and dynastic consideration. So, at what age did a young noblewoman enter into marriage. In Italy the average age for marriage was 17; in France it is 16 ; and in England and Germany 18 yo was the average age - all for first marriages. (Source: "Medieval Households" by David Herlihy, Harvard University Press, 1985). However, the following examples are exceptions:
Bianca of Savoy, Duchess of Milan was married aged 13 (1350), and aged 14 when she gave birth to her eldest son, Giangaleazzo (1351).
Theodora Comnena was aged 13 when she was married King Baldwin III of Jerusalem (1158).
Agnes of France was 12 when, widowed, she was married to Andronicus Comnenus, Byzantine Emperor (1182).
St Elizabeth of Portugal was aged 12 when she was married to King Denis of Portugal and gave birth to three children shortly thereafter.
Caterina Sforza was betrothed aged 9, married aged 14, and gave birth aged 15.
Lucrezia Borgia was married to her first husband aged 13 and bore a son within a few years.
Beatrice d'Este was betrothed aged 5 and married aged 15.
The LiveJournal writes
"When the Austrian-born Archduchess Marie Antoinette was married off at age fourteen to France's future king -- crowned Louis XVI in 1774 -- her overriding duty was to give the kingdom an heir."
And finally, as Wikipedia mentions, tracing the history of marriage in ancient Greece
"For most of European history, marriage was more or less a business agreement between two families who arranged the marriages of their children. Romantic love rarely, and even simple affection was not considered essential. In fact at some times, too much affection in a marriage was considered a sin.
"In Ancient Greece .... Men usually married when they were in their 20s or 30s and expected their wives to be in their early teens.
"Married Greek women had few rights in ancient Greek society and were expected to take care of the house and children.
"In the 12th century, aristocrats believed love was incompatible with marriage and seeked romance in adultery."
The above are just a few examples of the culture of child marriage in Europe. As we keep rummaging through the history of that region, we come across plenty more.
Re: Culture of child marriage in medieval Europe
Wonderful read sister. You must have really worked hard to find all these very authentic facts and figures. At present, people in the West look upon the 7th century history of young age marriages in the Middle-East with such astonishment as though it never happened in their part of the world. This article catches them head-on! It's also important to note that at present when girls and boys, especially girls, are getting married in their 30s - this hasn't resolved the problems of marital abuse. If anything at all, it's worsened.
-CHRISTIAN HEAD COVERING ACROSS THE CENTURIES
-DEATH PENALTY BY BEHEADING NOT A QURANIC CULTURE
This also proves the contradiction and ignorance of Westerners about their own culture. When they read about political marriages of convenience in Islamic history for the purpose of helping to promote peace between countries or tribes, they disagree and deride. Yet history shows that much after Islam, both child marriages and political marriages of convenience were rampant all over Europe.
Child marriages among the Roma people in Europe are still prevalent. Roma is an unprivileged minority group in Romania, Spain, Italy, France etc. and are orthodox Christians.
Recently in Spain a 10-year-old daughter of a woman in her 30s gave birth to a baby. The father is 13. Shocking!
The West is so cleverly silent about containing what it condemns for others that you hardly know it exisits within their community until some sudden news story comes up in that regard.
Moreover, in the West they consider it okay if both are minors. But they will object if a 16 year old gets married to a 19 year old because the 16 year old is officially a minor whereas the 19 year old isn't. Now this is pure madness! Similarly if a 14 year old girl gets married to a 15 year old boy, they accept that. But if that 14 year old gets married to a 28 year old man, the guy becomes a "pedofile." Again, this is highly stupid. A 14 year old girl can be much better looked after and supported by a 28 year old than by a 15 year old. Needless to say, I don't at all support marriage of underage girls. But what I mean to say is that if a minor girl ends up getting married, it only makes the mess bigger if the boy she marries is also a minor.
Now read the messy story below. Very sad state of affairs.
Mom happy that her 10-year-old gave birth
MADRID - A Roma woman whose 10-year-old daughter just gave birth in Spain says she's delighted to have a new granddaughter and doesn't understand why the birth has shocked anyone — let alone become an international sensation.
Spanish authorities have released few details about the case to protect the girl's privacy.
But in comments published Wednesday, her Romanian mother told reporters the baby's father is a 13-year-old boy who is still in Romania and is no longer going out with her daughter.
The 10-year-old girl and her baby daughter plan to stay in Spain because the young couple separated, said the girl's mother. She identified herself only as Olimpia and appeared to be in her 30s but did not give her age.
She also said she didn't understand the attention the case was generating because she and her daughter are Roma and their custom is to allow girls to marry young even though that's against the law in Romania.
"That's the way we get married," the girl's mother told reporters Tuesday outside the modest apartment building in the southern town of Lebrija where the family lives.
Meanwhile, the story was going viral on the Internet and causing an uproar in Spain.
"Mother at 10 years old" blared a headline in Barcelona's La Vanguardia newspaper, which dedicated two pages to the story.
In contrast, news about the 10-year-old mother barely registered in Romania, with stories buried inside newspapers focusing on the controversy the birth had caused among Spaniards.
The girl moved to Spain about three weeks ago, her mother said, and her baby was born in a public hospital last week in the nearby city of Jerez de la Frontera. There were no complications during the birth, and the 10-year-old and her baby are doing fine, her mother said.
"She's doing well and is very happy with her daughter," the woman said.
The 10-year-old and her baby are living with the new grandmother while Spanish social welfare authorities determine whether the family will be able to provide for the baby.
Under Spanish law, having consensual sex with someone under age 13 is classified as child abuse. But a Justice Ministry official said this particular case is complicated, because the alleged father is not in Spain and is also a minor. It is not clear whether he could be charged, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of ministry policy.
Romanian law allows girls to get married at age 16 with parental consent, or at 18 without it.
But arranged "marriages" between teenagers are relatively common among Roma, who make up about 1.5 million of Romania's 22 million people. Families "marry off" daughters when they reach puberty, with the "husband" usually being a couple of years older. The marriages are not recognized by the state.
Roma girls are often not encouraged to pursue a full education, and Romanian authorities do not widely enforce education laws that require children to attend school until age 16.
In 2003, there was an international outcry after the European Union envoy to Romania, Baroness Emma Nicholson, demanded that a 12-year-old Roma girl and her 15-year-old common-law husband separate and cease all intimate relations until they were legally able to be married. The couple did separate for an unknown amount of time.

Good exposure of the truth the West frantically tries to conceal, downplay and altogether ignore in the present era. I don't know how I missed this thread earlier. I happened to read it at a time when there came another such example in Europe. Today was announced the death of Marshal Tito's 88-year-old widow who led an abandoned life in a Belgrade suburb. I guess you all know who Marshal Tito was .. the Yugoslav strongman .. though he had his problems as a ruler, he handled Yugoslavia far better than what was to happen in the 1990s after his death in 1980. Some reports say Tito married thrice and some say 5 times. Anyhow, the old lady who died today of natural causes in a Belgrade hospital was his last wife. He married his first wife in 1919 who was then 14-years-old. Tito was born in 1892 which means when he married his first wife, he was 27. So, according to present-day Europe, Marshal Tito was a "pedophile" by definition.
HE WHO KNEELS BEFORE ALLAH CAN
STAND BEFORE ANYONE.
Thanks for the information br. Truthseeker. Yeah, I read about Tito's widow's death today. But I didn't know there were more who preceded this lady as Tito's wives. Indeed, your calculation is right. According to the current European rules, that's the category he would be put into.
Came across this info just now as I was doing some reading online and thought I'll put it up here. Mary, Queen of Scots, who was the queen of Scotland and well-known in British history was married in France to the king of France named Francis II in 1557 when she was 15 and he was 14. It's very likely that the youth of the French king is phoney, reduced to 14 from an older age only to make it stand well with the age of Mary so that he wouldn't be called a "pedophile" according to today's laws. In those days European men (including Britain) seldom or never married females of same age or older. Very rare, almost non-existent.
Eye opening disclosure. Thanks sis. I too think the husband wasn't 14 ... now come on propagandists! That's been manipulated because she was actually 15.

Q: mysql select from 2 other columns in the same table I have a table which looks like this but much longer...
| CategoryID | Category | ParentCategoryID |
+------------+----------+------------------+
| 23         | Screws   | 3                |
| 3          | Packs    | 0                |

I am aiming to retrieve one column from this which in this instance would give me the following...
| Category     |
+--------------+
| Packs/Screws |

Please excuse me for not knowing exactly how to word this, so far I can only think to split the whole table into multiple tables and use LEFT JOIN, this seems like a very good opportunity for a learning curve however.
I realise that CONCAT() will come into play when combining the two retrieved Category names but beyond that I am stumped.

A: SELECT CONCAT(x.category,'/',y.category) Category
  FROM my_table x
  JOIN my_table y
    ON y.categoryid = x.parentcategoryid
[WHERE x.parentcategoryid = 0]
