Tiktokers Are Turning Mental Health Into a Trend — But Is That Helpful or Hurtful?
The 15Minutes4Me test has blown up on TikTok, with more than 6.4 million views as of writing on the #15minutes4me hashtag alone. The 15-minute online survey is based around an assessment questionnaire and helps people determine their current mental state in order to figure out a proper treatment protocol and provide strategies and solutions for dealing with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. If a person so decides, they can sign up for the next step: A month-by-month program of daily sessions designed to be a "therapeutic self-help program."
The widespread use of this online self-help program among teens begs the question, though: How helpful can a viral test really be? We spoke to a number of mental health professionals to find out.
"With so many young people using the TikTok app, there's been room for much more candid conversations surrounding the topic of mental health," said Kristin Wilson, LPC, vice president of clinical outreach at Newport Academy, a healing center for adolescents struggling with mental health issues. "These discussions can help teens feel that they are not alone in their struggles and create an online community of support."
"The quiz itself can bring increased awareness to feelings of anxiety, depression and stress; however, the results of the test can be startling to some and its individualized accuracy is not verified by mental health professionals," she continued. "The quiz may bring attention to mental health struggles and help people to prioritize self-care, but it is ultimately a self-diagnosis in the form of just 25 questions, leading to an online self-help program offering."
Licensed counselor Allyssa Dziurlaj, LPC, agrees that an online quiz like 15Minutes4Me is a "double-edged sword." Though it helps teenagers better understand their thoughts and feelings, it also can't replace the personalized treatment that a professional counselor provides.
"At best, these surveys can encourage people to seek mental healthcare and serve to destigmatize mental health problems," she said. "At worst, it can be a tool to self-diagnose improperly."
Counselors like Dziurlaj have a love-hate relationship with TikTok in general. Many content creators use the platform to speak out about their own mental health struggles — but while this can normalize dealing with mental health issues, it can also inadvertently glorify them.
"The mental health content on TikTok can serve to glamorize mental health disorders," Dziurlaj explained. Many of the 15Minutes4Me videos, for instance, are just jokes about how this the first time the test taker has gotten a perfect score on anything. Within the eating disorder community on TikTok, many users also like to joke about doing drugs to lose weight and make self-deprecating videos about some of the "classic" ED warning signs.
These videos don't just romanticize mental health issues and eating disorders; for people who are in recovery, they are also triggering — and, given how unfathomable TikTok's FYP is, are almost impossible to avoid.
"I also think that a lot of triggering content gets circulated around, causing certain viewers to experience distress," Dziurlaj said. "More trigger warnings need to be used especially in the eating disorder recovery and the self-harm recovery communities."
"Making fun or light of mental health issues can be more harmful than not talking about them at all," Lin Sternlicht, LMHC, and Aaron Sternlicht, LMHC, founders of Family Addiction Specialist, agreed. "Furthermore, posting about your mental health is not something that should be done with the purpose of garnering social media attention, but rather for the purposes of connection, support and healing. Posting on TikTok should never serve as a primary tool of addressing mental health issues, but rather can serve as an addition to other forms of support and self-care."
Another significant issue on TikTok is the rapid spread of false information. Anyone can claim to be a licensed mental health professional on the platform when they're commenting or making PSA videos. Plus, nobody fact-checks the videos that go out on TikTok or other popular social media platforms, and once a video goes viral, there's no stopping it.
"Many people believe themselves an expert who are not [and] it can be difficult to delineate information from misinformation," explained Dr. Gail Saltz, an associate professor of psychiatry at the NY Presbyterian Hospital, Weill-Cornell Medical College. "And generally speaking, incorrect information can be worse than no information at all."
Ultimately, social media — and trends like the 15Minutes4Me test — have increased awareness about online mental health resources, which is inarguably a good thing. However, a 25-question quiz can only do so much, which is why therapists and mental health counselors encourage teens to seek real, personalized help if they are struggling with a mental health problem.
"TikTok is not treatment, [and] mistaking posting and watching for treatment can be detrimental," Dr. Saltz said. "For almost all diagnosable psychiatric conditions, TikTok alone is certainly not an adequate treatment."

Blast at POSCO steel mill injures 5 in South Korea
SEOUL, Dec 24 (Reuters) - An explosion rocked POSCO's steel mill in Gwangyang on Tuesday, knocking out a generator facility and injuring five people at the world's fifth-largest steelmaker, the South Korean company said.
An ensuing fire was contained in 21 minutes and one of the five suffered serious injury at POSCO's largest steel mill, the company said in a statement.
There was no confirmation whether any of the mill's operation would be suspended due to the blast.
Dashboard camera footage from a car crossing the nearby Yi Sun-sin bridge showed the fiery blast and large debris shooting up into the sky before falling to the bridge's surface.
POSCO shares extended losses following reports of the accident, falling as much as 2.3% before closing down 1.4% against the broader market decline of 0.6%. (Reporting by Sangmi Cha, Joyce Lee and Hayoung Choi; Editing by Christopher Cushing)

Marigold Heavenly Nostrils is nothing like "My Little Pony," and fans of Dana Simpson love it.
The self-absorbed unicorn is one of two characters at the heart of Simpson's popular comic "Phoebe and Her Unicorn," a story about 9-year-old Phoebe and her one-horned best friend.
The strip started in 2009 as "Heavenly Nostrils" when Simpson won the Amazon/Universal Uclick Comic Strip Superstar Contest. The prize was a contract to develop a comic strip for publication and syndication.
"I've wanted to have a comic strip in syndication since I was a kid," said the 35-year-old cartoonist.
The comic has since been online on GoComics.com and ranked in the top 10 percent of most visited comics online at GoComics.com in the last year in a half, according to Universal Uclick, an American media content syndicate.
On Monday, Simpson's work, now dubbed "Phoebe and Her Unicorn," will debut in Los Angeles News Group papers.
"I am so thankful to have the opportunity to have my work appear in this market," said Simpson, who lives just outside of Seattle in Lakeland North, Wash.
"Phoebe and Her Unicorn" is expected to appear in more than 100 newspapers this year.
The story begins when the lonely fourth-grader is out skipping rocks and accidentally hits the unicorn. The chance meeting results in Marigold granting Phoebe one wish: for the unicorn to be her best friend.
What ensues are comical situations about childhood, from dealing with cruel classmates to slumber parties and piano practice.
"Phoebe is a lot like me, except she actually says the things I would have liked to say," Simpson admitted.
During one piano lesson, for instance, Phoebe explains how it's probably best she doesn't learn how to read sheet music.
"I read that the Beatles couldn't read music. Neither could the jazz greats. Aren't you destroying my chance to be legendary?" she asks her piano teacher.
Phoebe's interactions with her parents are also comical.
With the online success of the comic, Simpson released the graphic novel "Phoebe and Her Unicorn: A Heavenly Nostrils Chronicle" in fall 2014. The sequel, "Unicorn on a Roll: Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure," is scheduled to be released in May.
Before Simpson hit gold with Phoebe, she was a finalist for the Scripps-Howard Charles M. Schulz College Cartoonist Award while attending Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. During those years, she created one of the first Web comic strips, "Ozy and Millie," which followed the adventures of two young foxes struggling with the challenges of elementary school, from classroom tests to bullies. The comic strip lasted 10 years, gaining a devoted cult following until it ended in 2008.
In all her work, Simpson believes it's possible for important messages to get through for fans — even young ones.

Q: Prove non-constant, irreducible polynomials are primitive I am trying to prove the following statement.

Let $R$ be an integral domain. Prove that a non-constant irreducible polynomial in $R[x]$ is primitive.

This is what I have done so far:
Let $f\in R[x]$ be irreducible. Then there exists $g,h\in R[x]$ such that
$f=gh \implies f\sim g$ or $f\sim h$
Wlog, assume $f\sim g \implies h\in R[x]^X$
Let $g=a_nx^n+...+a_0$, where $n>0$
Thus, $C(f)=C(gh)=gcd(ha_n,...,ha_0)$ so $h$ is a common divisor for $f$.
It is at this stage that I don't know how to proceed further with the proof. Any help would be appreciated.

Whittier, John Greenleaf
(hwĭt`ēər), 1807–92, American Quaker poet and reformer, b. near Haverhill, Mass. Whittier was a pioneer in regional literature as well as a crusader for many humanitarian causes.
Whittier received a scanty education but read widely. An introduction at the age of 14 to Robert Burns's poetry inspired him to write verse; his first poems were published (1826) in the Newburyport Free Press, edited by William Lloyd Garrison, the abolitionist, who became his lifelong friend. In the years from 1828 to 1832, Whittier edited and contributed stories, sketches, and poems to various newspapers. His first two published books, Legends of New England (1831) and the poem Moll Pitcher (1832), warmly portrayed everyday life in his rural region.
Abolitionist and Poet
Whittier is depicted so often as the gentle hoary-headed Quaker that the fiery politician within him is often forgotten. He declared himself an abolitionist in the pamphlet Justice and Expediency (1833) and went to the unpopular national antislavery convention. In 1834–35 he sat in the Massachusetts legislature; he ran for Congress on the Liberty ticket in 1842 and was a founder of the Republican party. He also worked staunchly behind the political scene to further the abolitionist cause and was an active antislavery editor until 1840, when frail health forced him to retire to his Amesbury home.
From there he sent out more of the poems and essays that made him a spokesman for the cause, and he was corresponding editor (1847–59) of the Washington abolitionist weekly, the National Era. In addition, Whittier compiled and edited a number of books; the most entertaining was the semifictional Leaves from Margaret Smith's Journal (1849). Meanwhile, his volumes of verse came out almost biennially; the first authorized collection appeared in 1838.
After the Civil War he turned from politics and dedicated himself completely to poetry. Although he liked to think of himself as the bard of common people, as in Songs of Labor (1850), his best work is his careful and accurate delineation of New England life, history, and legend. His most famous poem is Snow-bound (1866), an idyllic picture of his boyhood home; other memorable volumes are The Tent on the Beach (1867) and Maud Muller (1867). Such ballads as "Barbara Frietchie," "Marguerite," and "Skipper Ireson's Ride"; perennial favorites like "The Barefoot Boy" and the war poem "Laus Deo"; and his nearly 100 hymns, of which the best known is "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind," gave him popularity in his time surpassed perhaps only by Longfellow.
In current critical estimation, Whittier's ability as a balladist surpassed his ability as a poet. His meters and rhythms were conventional and his poems tended to be too profuse. Nevertheless, as the voice of the New England villager and farmer prior to industrialization, his work portrays an important period in American history.
See biographies by S. T. Pickard (1907, repr. 1969), J. A. Pollard (1949, repr. 1969), W. Bennett (1941, repr. 1971), W. J. Linton (1893, repr. 1973), and T. W. Higginson (1902, repr. 1973); studies by L. G. Leary (1961) and E. Wagenknecht (1967).
(1807–92) poet, writer; born in Haverhill, Mass. Although he had little formal education, he studied for one year at Haverhill Academy (1827) and then taught there (1827–28). He began writing poetry as a youth, but had to start making his living as a newspaper editor (1829–32). A devout Quaker, he thereafter directed much of his energies throughout the Civil War to promoting abolitionism, both as an editor of several antislavery periodicals, and through his poetry, such as his collection, Voice of Freedom (1846). He also spent one term in the Massachusetts legislature (1835–37) and ran unsuccessfully for the House of Representatives (1842). He opposed the Mexican War and was one of those who proposed founding the Republican Party. He was one of the founders of the Atlantic Monthly (1857) and remained a contributor. After the Civil War he lived (from 1876 on) in Amesburg and Denvers, Mass. Although he wrote a fair amount of critical essays and some fiction, he was highly popular in his day as one of the so-called household poets; several of his ballads and genre poems—"Barefoot Boy" (1856), "Barbara Fritchie" (1864), and "Snow-Bound" (1866)—survive as classic Americana.

Stopping Foodborne Illnesses In Their Tracks

You'd hardly give it a second glance, this new equipment tucked away in the back of a lab on the fourth floor of the Research Building at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), but it has the power to help the millions affected by foodborne illnesses each year.
About the size of an old-school Mac computer, the MiSeq System easily blends in with its surroundings in the lab of Siddhartha "Sid" Thakur, an associate professor of molecular epidemiology at the CVM. It looks similar to any lab machine found across campus. But it is here where hundreds of isolated pathogens will undergo whole genome sequencing and fed into a sharable worldwide database. The goal: identifying the pathogen early and preventing it from spreading.
It's called GenomeTrakr. And the CVM is the only place you'll find it in North Carolina.
"Just like you and I have our unique fingerprints, pathogens have their own fingerprints," says Thakur, who is also the associate director at NC State's Comparative Medicine Institute and leads its Emerging and Infectious Diseases Research Program. "When the fingerprints match, that means we have a culprit."
In operation now at the CVM, GeomeTrakr, developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is the first network of labs using whole genome sequencing to identify pathogens. Currently, it consists of 37 labs in the United States, mostly federal, state health and university labs, and 17 outside of the country. Prior to GenomeTrakr's launch in 2012, the sources of many outbreaks, says Thakur, were commonly identified after the outbreak had been contained.
"Just like you and I have our unique fingerprints, pathogens have their own fingerprints, when the fingerprints match, that means we have a culprit." ~ Sid Thakur
Now, genome sequences are identified, cataloged and shared through an easily accessible network, particularly helpful in pinpointing the source of an outbreak quickly, especially since most outbreaks occur over multiple states. The GenomeTrakr data is maintained at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
According to the FDA, since its launch the network has sequenced over 61,000 isolates, including some of the most common sources of foodborne illnesses — Salmonella, Listeria and E. Coli. According to CDC estimates, each year 48 million Americans, or one in six, get sick by consuming contaminated foods or beverages.
GenomeTrakr's impact has been swift; members of the GenomeTrakr network are sequencing more than 1,000 isolates a month. In 2014, the network was used to match food and environmental samples with human samples, pinpointing the source of a Listeria outbreak.
"It's already proven to be a huge depository of rich information," says Thakur. "Someone can match his isolate from a pig in Brazil and match it with a pig in Minnesota or Iowa. You have more information and it's a very fast process."
The effort to bring the GenomeTrakr program to the CVM started a year ago, as Thakur began meeting with Reagan Converse, the chief microbiologist at the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Food and Drug Protection Division. Converse had been eager to have her state government lab be a part of the program.
"Being part of the GenomeTrakr program means we have access to a wealth of information about how pathogens we isolate from the food chain might be linked with state, national and international outbreaks." ~Reagan Converse
The project is conducted in close collaboration between the CVM and the NCDACR. The GenomeTrakr instrument is housed at the CVM and samples will be sequenced here, as Converse's department will work closely with CVM on experimental design, analysis and data transfer.
"Whole genome sequencing is a powerful tool," says Converse. "Being part of the GenomeTrakr program means we have access to a wealth of information about how pathogens we isolate from the food chain might be linked with state, national and international outbreaks.
"Ultimately, we will be able to pull dangerous food from the market earlier and reduce the public health impact."
If not checked properly and quickly, foodborne illness outbreaks can go on for weeks and possibly months. For North Carolina, early detection is particularly key, as the state is one of the nation's leaders in hog, chicken and turkey production. And as the GenomeTrakr network expands, it will get to a point where if there's a new strain that pops up in some part of the world, the database will reveal if it's something new or link it to something seen before, Thakur says.
Along with disease prevention, GenomeTrakr provides a wealth of information to those researching pathogens.
"That same profile that you got from a pig, we could find that in a tomato in Arkansas, and we could see that in lettuce in California and also in a chicken in Iowa," says Thakur. "So then I would know that this particular bug I found in a pig has the ability to survive in three different types of products."
But for Thakur, it all comes down to one thing: improving human health. His goal is to generate between 400 and 600 sequences a year. It is free to submit isolates and have them sequenced. Thakur hopes to collect a diverse group of samples reflecting multiple types of isolates and from sources ranging from other labs and hospitals to veterinary clinics.
"GenomeTrakr is working and its reach is massive," says Thakur. "The proof is already in the pudding."

ANW Love Story: Malik & Kelsey
Photo by Maya Ayanna Darasaw.
By A Noise Within
Calling all romantics! Apparently, you can find love not only in the stories on stage, but even in our theatre's lobby. Get to know Malik B. El-Amin and Kelsey Scott, two artists who met at A Noise Within last summer and are now newlyweds as well as creative collaborators!
Tell us about yourselves and what you do in the arts.
KELSEY: I'm a happy hyphenate (Actor-Writer-Producer) from Atlanta. These days, my resume primarily boasts film and television. But my roots and my first acting love will always be theatre.
MALIK: I'll take this one for Kelsey – she won't tell you everything, if you leave it to her. Kelsey's a two-time Emmy-nominated actress. You've seen her as Anne Northup in the Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave and as Wes Gibbins' mother, Rose, on How to Get Away with Murder. You might have also caught her on Insecure, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, and True Detective.
KELSEY: Okay, we're doing that? Well, Malik is the Artistic Director and Co-founder of Griot Theatre. If you ask him where he's from, he'll likely say, "Historically I'm from Africa. But more recently, St. Louis is where I grew up." He's been nominated as 'Best Actor' by both the NAACP and LA Weekly Theater Awards, and has performed at Indiana Repertory Theatre, Penumbra Theatre, and Colorado Shakespeare Festival – to name a few. He's a producer and director, and has brought plays like Julius Caesar, Voices, The Archer from Malis, An Accident, and Othello to life. He also bakes a to-die-for pound cake, from his Grandma's recipe.
How did you first hear about A Noise Within?
KELSEY: My introduction to A Noise Within was through the 2019 production of Frankenstein. I'm good friends with two of the actors in the cast (Harrison White and Thomas Hobson), and Harrison invited me to the opening night performance.
MALIK: I studied under Michael Murray when he led the MFA Acting program at Brandeis University. When I moved to Los Angeles and found that he'd also relocated here, I saw his Romeo & Juliet back when ANW was at the Glendale location. I've been a fan ever since.
Tell us about your love story! How did you two first meet? How did you get together?
MALIK: We both attended the opening night of Frankenstein at ANW last year; Kelsey at the invite of a cast member, me after having directed a show as part of the Noise Now series. During the reception after the show, I saw that the actors had come out from backstage and I moved to congratulate them. Kelsey was standing in my way. At this point I could have said, "Excuse me.", or I could have said "Hello." I said "Hello." and we took it from there.
Have you collaborated on creative/artistic projects together? Are you working on anything now?
KELSEY: Our love of the arts put us in the same room. And our first post-meet conversation was supposed to be about how we could collaborate artistically. A little more than a year, and a Zoom-wedding later, we're even more committed to meshing our talents, networks and resources, to not just create projects, but to construct an artistic legacy. We've begun that process by taking active (and proactive) initiatives in support of each other's individual artistic goals.
MALIK: For example, Kelsey is moving a book she optioned toward television development and distribution. It's been an absolute joy for me to talk with her about strategy and to see her consider and incorporate some of those thoughts into her plans and actions. And, she's let me take a look at some screenplays she's developing, and it's been very cool to see that a comment or question I raised about the script is reflected in the next draft.
Similarly, Kelsey was vital in helping me plot out how to move forward with Griot Theatre, under pandemic conditions. We'd sit in our shared office and talk through how virtual play readings would allow Griot Theatre to explore scripts in greater numbers than we could with in-person readings. Also, I had the kernel of an idea to give our audiences a glimpse into the artist's process. But Kelsey helped me think through what will now be a series of masterclasses, offered virtually to our audiences and the greater theatre community.
KELSEY: Yeah. We have rudely ambitious plans brewing on our collective drafting table.
Time for A Noise Within Trivia!
Test how well you know our theatre through our trivia…
Words From Our Supporters: Part 3
The outpouring of love continues! Thank you for your encouragements…

WWE SmackDown On FOX Results (11/8): Manchester, England
WWE runs the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England this afternoon, as they tape this week's episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown On FOX.
Thanks to @MattBoone1984 and eWrestling.com for the following report:
WWE SMACKDOWN SPOILERS (Taped On 11/8/2019)
* The arena has a different look for the tapings in Manchester, England. Check out photos of the WWE UK set-up for the SmackDown On FOX set for this week's episode below.
* King Corbin opens up this week's show after the opening pyro explodes and the show kicks off. The crowd boos as Corbin begins SmackDown on FOX from Manchester. He calls out Roman Reigns, leading to the two going back-and-forth on the mic. Corbin claims "The Big Dog's" testicles are the size of marbles. Reigns ends up shining to end the segment.
* Backstage, Kayla Braxton is with The New Day. Big E. goes on to talk about having to win the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships tonight so they can catch up with the record-number of title reigns Charlotte Flair holds.
The New Day vs. The Revival (SmackDown Tag-Team Titles)
We head back to the ring for our first match of the evening here in Manchester, and it is the SmackDown Tag-Team Title match that was just referenced in the previous backstage segment.
The New Day, with Big E. and Kofi Kingston representing the group, will be challenging Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder -- The Revival -- for the richest prize in tag-team wrestling on the blue brand.
The match gets underway and when all is said-and-done, Big E. and Kofi Kingston manage to get their hands raised, as they are now the NEW WWE SmackDown Tag-Team Champions.
Winners and NEW WWE SmackDown Tag-Team Champions: The New Day
After The Match: Imperium Strikes!
Once the match was over and the title change occured, NXT UK's Imperium hits the ring to attack until eventually Heavy Machinery runs down to try and even up the numbers game against WWE UK Champion WALTER, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel and Alexander Wolfe. That wasn't enough, so eventually more SmackDown stars hit the ring to chase off the dominant NXT UK faction.
Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Ali & Shorty G
Next up inside the ring here at the Manchester Arena for SmackDown is a tag-team match pitting WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro against the duo of Ali and Shorty G.
This one is given a little bit of time to develop, and featured Sami Zayn still trying to get Daniel Bryan to join he and Nakamura's team.
Bryan simply watched the match from the entrance stage, despite the fact that Zayn invited him to watch the match from ringside. When all was said-and-done, the team of Cesaro and Nakamura got their hands raised.
Winners: Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura
Sasha Banks vs. Nikki Cross
In the pre-advertised women's match heading into SmackDown this week, Sasha Banks meets Nikki Cross in one-on-one action.
This match is in progress now, with SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley featured as a guest commentator at the announce table.
Bayley gets involved near the finish of this one, as she provided an assist to "The Boss" which allowed Banks to pick up the "W."
Winner: Sasha Banks
After The Match: Shayna Baszler Attacks!
After the match, as she headed up the ramp, SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley is attacked by NXT Women's Champion "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler. As noted, Baszler, Bayley and Becky Lynch are set to meet in a champion vs. champion vs. champion match at WWE Survivor Series.
Carmella & Dana Brooke vs. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville
A women's tag-team match is up next with a stipulation that will impact the WWE Survivor Series 2019 lineup. The winning team will earn spots on the SmackDown Survivor Series women's team.
This one was a pretty basic match that was kept relatively short, and saw Carmella and Dana Brooke go over, earning two of the available spots on the SmackDown women's team at Survivor Series later this month.
Winners: Carmella & Dana Brooke
Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin
The advertised featured match for this week's SmackDown, "The Big Dog" Roman Reigns vs. "King" Baron Corbin is up next. We've still got Tyson Fury's return and much more to go.
This turned out to be the main event inside the squared circle in terms of matches for this week's show.
The finish saw Corbin pick up the victory after getting an assist from the team of Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.
Winner: King Corbin
Tyson Fury & Braun Strowman Join Forces?
Finally, as advertised, lineal boxing heavyweight champion of the world, "The Gypsy King" Tyson Fury, makes his WWE return as he comes down to the ring for the final segment of the taping.
"The Gypsy King" talks about making his WWE debut with a win at WWE Crown Jewel and then calls his opponent from the show, "The Monster Amog Men" Braun Strowman, to join him in the ring.
Strowman makes his way out and Fury tells him he wants to form a tag-team with him. They end up getting confronted by The B-Team -- Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.
Dallas and Axel come out and get in Strowman and Fury's face, leading to a brawl that saw "The Monster Among Men" and "The Gypsy King" take out the smaller opposition. They pose together in the ring after clearing house to end the show.

WWE RAW Results (11/11): Manchester, England (Spoilers)


There are some things that you can do to avoid or talk your way out of a stop sign ticket, and sometimes you must challenge the ticket in court to prevent a conviction. You might be able to avert getting a ticket by always stopping well before the sign or the stop line, but many times that is detrimental because the law enforcement officer (LEO) did not see you stop. They did not pick up your movement until you rolled forward up to the sign, line or crosswalk, looked and kept going. A stop sign ticket can sometimes be successfully challenged when the LEO's perspective was such they could not have known you stopped early.
The first defense we will discuss to circumvent a stop sign ticket conviction is to challenge what the officer saw. This defense demands that you know where the officer was when you were at the stop sign. The LEO had to be in a position to see if you stopped at the stop sign.
The second situation to help you sidestep a stop sign ticket conviction is to show that the sign was not visible or obscured, or that the limit line had faded out. Most of the time, if you are not able to see the stop sign, then the court is not going to convict you. This is also the case if the line is faded so that it could not be seen. Return to the location where you received the ticket and get photos of the obscured stop sign or faded line, which can help with your defense.
However, in each case, you or your attorney will need to recreate the scene almost exactly. Although the burden of proof lies with the arresting or ticketing officer, the more plausible your defense, the more likely it is the judge will dismiss.
Traffic ticket attorneys will generally have a better chance of convincing a judge of your innocence than you will. They spend several days a week in traffic court listening to cases, many just like yours. Likewise, a traffic attorney knows how the judge has ruled in past stop sign ticket cases, and which scenario the defense presented.
The third possible defense of a stop sign ticket is if you were not able to stop at the sign to avoid a collision. Of course, this is going to depend on the facts because you must make sure all your actions were justified. The best example of this is when you had to swerve to miss something that was in the middle of the road, or you had to roll forward a little bit so that someone behind you did not hit you.
The fourth and final circumstance to help you to avert a conviction on a stop sign ticket is if the stop sign was newly installed. Therefore, if this is a route that you usually take on a regular basis, but they have just installed the stop sign this is a possible defense. The sign had not been there previously, so you have not had to stop there before.
Most of the time, the judge is going to understand that you would not have been looking for a stop sign at that location, so they might dismiss the ticket or make it a no-point violation so that your auto insurance premium does not go up.
The previous scenarios are four defenses a skilled traffic attorney can use to assist you in avoiding a conviction on a stop sign ticket. Perhaps the wisest course of action is to discuss your circumstances with an experienced traffic lawyer who regularly defends traffic tickets.
Call Bigger & Harman, (661) 349-9300, when issued a stop sign ticket in Bakersfield or California. Providing us the circumstances of your ticket will determine the course of action we can take to resolve your ticket. Although we cannot guarantee that we can successfully defend every ticket in every scenario, having all the details will help. Se habla Español (661) 349-9755.

Jamie Oliver with some of the original London Fifteen apprentices at a supper club to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the project - photo by Tom Howard
Jamie Oliver has paid tribute to Kevin Boyle, one of the first apprentices at the original Fifteen restaurant who was found dead in January, in a supper club event to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the project.
The celebrity chef, who started the Fifteen apprenticeship project in 2002 which now trains young people to work in restaurants in London, Cornwall and Amsterdam, paid special tribute to Boyle and the many graduates who were now enjoying successful careers in the industry.
Five of the original graduates returned to the Islington restaurant to cook a special meal for 65 invited guests including the family of Boyle who were guests of honour at the event.
Speaking at the meal Oliver said the late chef was "a beautiful person and he would have loved this tonight." The supper club was the first of ten similar events that are planned for the year to celebrate a decade since the launch and the subsequant television programme Jamie's Kitchen.

Q: How to use wiringpi? I'm using raspberry pi 3 b+ and si7021 to get temperature and humidity. But now I have a problem that I don't know how to use wiringpi correctly.
This is my code:
import sys
import time
import wiringpi

I2C_ADDR = 0x40
SI7021_REG_NO_HOLD_HUMIDITY = 0xF5
SI7021_REG_NO_HOLD_TEMPERATURE = 0xF3

wiringpi.wiringPiSetup()
fd = wiringpi.wiringPiI2CSetup(0x40)
#fd = wiringpi.wiringPiI2CSetupInterface("/dev/i2c-0", I2C_ADDR)
while True:
    try:
        print(wiringpi.wiringPiI2CWriteReg8(fd,0x40,0xF3))
        time.sleep(0.3)
        print(fd, wiringpi.wiringPiI2CReadReg8(fd, 0x40))
       # print(wiringpi.wiringPiI2CRead(0x40))
        time.sleep(0.5)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        sys.exit(0)

The problem is I will always get 0 or negative value after wiringpi.wiringPiI2CWriteReg8(fd,0x40,0xF3) and wiringpi.wiringPiI2CReadReg8(fd, 0x40) executed. According to their manual, this means an error.
I'm quite sure that my connection is correct since I can use i2cget to get a correct value. Can someone tell me what is wrong in my code? Thanks in advance.

A: The slave address that is mentioned in the datasheet is already passed to the wiringpi library in the wiringPiI2CSetup(0x40) call. You do not need to repeat it, it is implicitly passed as fd. Given the wiringpi documentation you're trying to set register 0x40 to value 0xF3. Instead you should use wiringPiI2CWrite to issue the command. And similarly use wiringPiI2CRead afterwards.

Q: How can align my elements on the left side of the page? I am a new programmer and I recently started following a music-player tutorial, and am experiencing a couple of styling issues with it.
Project Overview:
As previously described, it is a music-player project made with create-react-app. The objective is to click the image of the song of your choosing, and for the song to be played for you.
The Problem:
Currently they are in a column, aligned in the center. How can I line the images of the songs on the left side of the page? I tried doing a couple of things on my css file named Turkish.css(shown below) like:

*

*align-items: flex-start

*justify-items: flex-start;
However they did not do anything.
The Code:
Turkish.js (the music-player file):
import React, { Component,useRef, setStatus, status } from 'react';
import './Turkish.css';

import turk1 from "./music/turk1.mp3";
import turk2 from "./music/turk2.mp3"
import turk3 from "./music/turk3.mp3"
import turk4 from "./music/turk4.mp3"

export default function Turkish() {
const data = [
    { imgSrc: 'turk1.png', audioSrc: turk1 },
    { imgSrc: 'turk2.png', audioSrc: turk3 },
    { imgSrc: 'turk3.png', audioSrc: turk4 },
    { imgSrc: 'turk4.png', audioSrc: turk2 },
  ];

      return (

            {data.map(({ imgSrc, audioSrc }) => (
              <MediaComponent imgSrc={imgSrc} audioSrc={audioSrc} />
            ))}

      );
    }

  const MediaComponent = ({ imgSrc, audioSrc }) => {
    const audioRef = useRef(null);
    const toggleAudio = () =>
      audioRef.current === null
        ? console.log("Audio component is not loaded yet.")
        : audioRef.current.paused
        ? audioRef.current.play()
        : audioRef.current.pause();

            return (

                <audio
                  ref={audioRef}
                  src={audioSrc}
                  onLoad={() => setStatus({ ...status, isLoaded: true })}
                  onPlay={() => setStatus({ ...status, isPlaying: true })}
                  onPause={() => setStatus({ ...status, isPlaying: false })}
                  onError={() => setStatus({ ...status, error: true })}
                />

            );
          };

Turkish.css
.Turkish ol {
    cursor: grab;
    border: solid;
    border-color: #303030;
    border-width: 0.01px ;
    border-left: transparent;
    border-right: transparent;
    border-bottom: transparent;

}

Let me know what you think!
Thank You,

Dermot Bannon reveals they're searching for people with 'small projects' to take part in Room To Improve
By Amie Edmonds |
02/09/2020 | Comments
Have you ever wished you could renovate your home on Room To Improve, but weren't planning on undergoing a renovation any time soon? Well, this could be your chance.
Dermot Bannon and the Room To Improve crew are back filming for the next season, but this time, they're searching for people with smaller projects to take part.
Speaking on Ray D'Arcy's RTE Radio One show, Dermot explained "Normally we have lots of people applying for Room To Improve, it's a constant stream through the office but actually this year because of Covid and lockdown and all that people just assumed there's nothing on TV.
"We're back filming, we've been back filming for a couple of months now and we're looking for two small projects. We're looking for non planning projects."

This comes after Dermot had previously opened up on what life was like once filming for Room To Improve came to a halt. Speaking at the RTE autumn schedule launch Dermot said, "I was very busy with work because, the practice, we got very busy with people ringing and new projects.
"But what I found is I spend a lot of time, especially with Room To Improve, travelling and I spend a huge amount of time in the car and I got all of that time back. So in a way, I was busy in work but I had a huge amount of time in the evenings."
He continued, "But I really noticed the quality of life had improved a huge amount. I think I got addicted to that level of busyness and I think I have seen the light.
"Not everything has to revolve around work so it has changed me."
If you'd like to take part, you can apply right here.

On the afternoon of October 30, 2018, MIT Professor Chen Gang was invited to give the 192nd lecture in the SUSTech Lecture Series. His presentation, entitled "MIT Educational Environment and Innovations," saw a packed lecture theatre of faculty members and students.
Chen Gang is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He is currently Principal Investigator of the Solid-State Solar Thermal Energy Conversion Center (S3TEC Center) and the Carl Richard Soderberg Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
In the lecture, Chen Gang first proposed the conditions necessary for top universities, that is, must have excellent students, teachers, and environment, and especially emphasized the excellent environment. In addition to the material environment, more important is the soft environment, including the relationship between teachers and students, the organization of the school, and mutual exchanges.
Chen Gang pointed out that MIT is not only known for its cutting-edge research, but also for its educational innovation. MIT first requires professors to have enthusiasm for excellence in teaching and research. Secondly, it encourages professors to learn and cooperate with each other in group teaching. Thirdly, MIT wants its professors to pursue excellence in teaching, while fully respecting the professor's educational autonomy.
Chen talked about MIT's approach to teaching in large classes, using three professors for one lecture. One professor will give the lecture at the front of the room, while the other two professors will listen in the back row to correct them on the spot. At the same time, the two professors are divided into two small classes to tutor students. This creates a high level of pressure on the professors when preparing each lecture. The classes are often prepared well in advance, with the three professors and teaching assistants sitting down for an hour every week to discuss teaching matters. Since the teaching materials for each assignment are taught by the professor, the professor will discuss every question and every assignment of the students. Even before the exam, the three professors must first test the questions to ensure accuracy.
Chen Gang also illustrated MIT's teaching innovation by listing innovative courses offered by MIT.
Chen Gang also talked about the innovative curriculum and gave examples from his own Department of Mechanical Engineering. With MIT's 1+3 education model, similar to SUSTech's 2+2 model, first-year students are not yet professional engineers, so a course had to be designed to get them interested and engaged in the area. Their answer was to open a toy design course (Toy Product Design). The content of the course is to design children's toys. The course requires students and children to communicate, so that the students understand the needs of children, and thus design toys that satisfy children. The students will then show products at the end of the semester. Due to the lively content of the course, it is very popular among students. In fact, it has become so popular that far more students seek a place in the course than could ever be accepted. The professor will also interview the selected students, mainly to examine the students' preference for the course, rather than the students' knowledge and experience in this area. This is to screen out certain students.
When it comes to innovative courses, MIT will teach through competition. For example, the Robotic Design and Manufacturing course started in 1979. Students design and produce robots and compete for the first place through competitions. The final competition is traditionally held in the Johnson Ice Rink over one night and attracts faculty members, students and people from the nearby area. MIT also holds global competitions, such as the International (United States) FIRST Robotics Competition, which is open to students from all over the world, from primary school students to college students. The use of competition means that teams view each other as both allies and opponent. Just like in life, there will be confrontation and cooperation, so the students are cultivating necessary skills to enter society in the future.
Chen Gang also mentioned the Product Engineering Process (PDEP) course. At the beginning of the semester, the professor will design a theme for the course and let the students team up to complete the task. Generally, a team of 20 students starts to divide into 2 groups and conduct market research, analyze, discuss and reach an agreement on what products have market value. The two groups spend time experimenting and creating, working together to make the product. The final presentation of their product takes place in Kresge Auditorium in front of over one thousand guests, as well as far more offline. The teams need to deeply understand their products, as well as how to communicate to a diverse range of audiences.
After the lecture, the faculty members and students asked numerous questions about MIT's educational philosophy and teaching model.


Under the memorandum, the DOJ and DOL will share information on specific employers, exchange staff training between departments, and relay issues to appropriate department officials between agencies.
Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore said in a statement that the agreement would aid in the "ability to identify employers [that] favor temporary visa holders over U.S. workers who can do the job."
"Employers should hire workers based on their skills, experience, and authorization to work; not based on discriminatory preferences that violate the law," he said.
The memorandum comes a month after the DOL's release of the 2018 jobs report, which shows that while employment for foreign workers in the U.S. increased by 3%, employment for American workers increased a little less than 1.5%.
Deputy Assistant Secretary for the DOL's Employment and Training Admin. Rosemary Lahasky stated that sharing information between the agencies "will help protect U.S. workers from unlawful discrimination."
Additionally, the agreement comes a week after an analysis by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) found that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is denying more petitions for foreign workers in the STEM fields. H-1B visa denials increased 41% from the 3rd to the 4th quarter of FY 2017, rising from a 15.9% denial rate in the 3rd quarter to 22.4% in the 4th quarter. NFAP attributed this to changes the agency implemented after Pres. Trump signed his "Buy American, Hire American" executive order in April of last year.
Both the DOJ and DOL said the purpose of the joint agreement is "to better protect U.S. workers from discrimination by employers that prefer to hire temporary visa workers over qualified U.S. workers."

By the decision of Yerevan Mayor, the illegal construction at the address 1/3 Gyurjyan, Nor Nork, occupying over 1100 square meters, has been in the process of demolition since early morning of November 12. The building belongs to Ani-97 LLC. The owners claim that the City Hall actions are illegal, as the court is still examining the case and they have not been informed of the decision to demolish the building. The City Hall answers that the building was being built without appropriate urban development documents and building permit.

Now, I am running this code on AFS remote server (I don't know how many of you are familiar with AFS, it is a remote server which universities use). Now, the problem that I am facing is I cannot set up a MySQL server on AFS, or I cannot connect MySQL to AFS. Here's my code-
import pandas as pd
import yfinance as yf
from pandas.io import sql
import sys
from sys import argv
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
import requests

link = "link from where the ticker list is taken"
f = requests.get(link)
ticker= f.text
ticker= ticker.strip('[]').split('\n')
ticker= list(filter(None, ticker))
data= yf.download(tickers= ticker,period= '1d',interval='1m',group_by='Ticker')
column_list = data.columns
comp_list = list(set([clm[0] for clm in column_list]))
temp_df = data[comp_list[0]]
temp_df.insert(0,'Ticker','')
temp_df['Ticker'] = comp_list[0]
for comp_name in comp_list[1:]:
    new_df = data[comp_name]
    new_df['Ticker'] = comp_name
    temp_df = pd.concat([temp_df, new_df], axis=0)
final_data = temp_df.reset_index()

final_data.to_sql('stocks',con=engine,
                  if_exists='replace',index=False)
print('task_done')```

#Please help me connect MySQL to AFS and save the data in a database table. Any leads would be appreciated.

I have a particular soft spot for anyone and everyone stepping into the role of manager for the first time. I suspect this is carried over from my own less than outstanding start-up as a new manager earlier in my career. The overwhelming feeling of awkwardness and disorientation linger in my mind and gut to this day. Here's some guidance to help you move beyond that early feeling of disorientation and start strong as a new manager.
There's a lot going on when you start out as a new manager, however, these four actions will give you a strong foundation to build upon as you navigate the first 100 days.
Your inclination at the time of promotion to first-time manager is to feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Unless you're in a start-up function (unlikely that they would provide this to a first-time manager), you're surrounded by individuals who know their jobs and can execute on their tasks regardless of who the manager is at the moment. Resist the urge to seize command and start telling people how to do their jobs.
Also, know that your boss doesn't expect you to reshape the world or your department in your image anytime soon. Relax your mind and focus on striving to figure out how you can help these people and your boss.
As an experienced manager, I learned to listen and observe more than I talked. Listening is particularly relevant for you as you become immersed in the daily lives of your new coworkers.
Listening is a high-performance power tool. It shows respect, it portrays empathy, and people will naturally open up to someone who is a great listener. Spend time asking questions, learning what goes on in a day-in-the-life of each team member, and importantly, asking how you can help.
Resist the urge to make meetings and discussions about you and your agenda. People will grow curious and start asking soon enough.
While I'm giving away my favorite start-up power tool here—it works for new managers as well as executives, this is part of my do-over, so use the idea in great health. I run what I describe as a 3W's process.
I pre-announce that I plan to meet with and listen to each team member individually where the agenda is focused on three questions: What's working? What's not? What do you need me to do to help you/us succeed?
The meetings are confidential although I indicate I will roll up the key themes I hear and share them back with the group for further discussion and action planning.
I remind myself to listen and not talk during these sessions, and I take voluminous notes. It's inevitable to hear some immediate needs, which I commit to or sometimes fix on the spot.
Once all of the meetings have been completed, I set up a group session and share the key themes I heard during the sessions. We discuss the issues, and I ask the group to clarify each one and then prioritize them.
Where relevant, we create project teams with clearly defined project scopes and team member roles to tackle the initiatives. I serve as the sponsor responsible for gaining support, funds, resources essential for success.
While there's a bit of finesse involved in this process, I've never failed to break the ice and get the focus off of me as the new manager or executive and on to the changes and improvements team members want to make to succeed as individuals and as a group. Importantly, I gain insights into the thinking and abilities of the group members, and I gain critical context for where I can add value immediately.
Note: if you would like my longer set of instructions on managing a 3W's process, drop me a note, and I will pass it along.
While this seems to go without saying, I find that many new managers in the drive to prove themselves don't pay enough attention to their boss. Remember the boss selected you and is accountable for your success or failure. I counsel new managers to establish a regular communication cadence and protocol (when, how much detail, how frequent, what format, etc.) with their boss and to do everything possible to understand and align on priorities. The better you as a manager can tune-in to your boss's priorities, the better able you are to support their success.
In my workshops and online programs for new managers, I provide a checklist of priorities and actions for the first day, week, month, quarter, and 100-day marks. There's a lot to do in this job, and there are more than a few ways to get it horribly wrong as I can attest to. The great news is you can move a long distance toward start-up success drawing on the four actions suggested above. Use them in great start-up health!

Experts have made a rating of European countries in terms of mortality from cardiovascular and other diseases caused by incorrect nutrition, writes Daily Mail.
According to the researchers, in 2016 from heart disease, obesity and high blood pressure caused by excessive salt intake and inadequate consumption of vegetables in Europe killed 2.1 million people.
The country with the highest mortality rate from malnutrition has become Uzbekistan. There on 100 thousand population are victims of harmful eating habits have become 394.
On the second and third places of the rating of Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan.
The top ten includes Ukraine, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
In Western Europe, the worst performance in Germany.
Scientists also noted that, for example in Sweden and Norway the main problem of developing cardiovascular diseases is insufficient intake of nuts and cereals.
"Increased consumption of foods made from white flour with low fiber content has led to growth in heart disease in recent years," said Professor of the University estate Schiller in Germany Stefan Lorkowski.
According to the survey, the right thing to eat in Spain and Israel.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova said that Russia is suffering from obesity about 26% of women and 14% men. In addition, she mentioned the regions, where obesity is common.

The USS Olympia, the only ship remaining from the Spanish-American War and one of two remaining from the First World War, will represent the Navy of those wars in the Navy and Marine 250th celebrations.
A protected cruiser launched in 1892, she is the oldest steel warship still afloat.
In 1898, she became famous as the American flagship at the Battle of Manila Bay.
After Admiral Dewey told her captain, "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley," Olympia led the Navy to a decisive American victory in the Spanish-American War, which made the United States a naval and Pacific power. During World War I, Olympia protected America's coast and escorted convoys across the Atlantic. After World War I, she carried home from France to Arlington National Cemetery the remains of the Unknown Soldier. Olympia has been preserved and is operated as a museum ship by Philadelphia's Independence Seaport Museum. Olympia will be the unique cornerstone of the Navy and Marines 250th celebrations.

A replica of the sloop USS Providence will represent the Navy of the Revolutionary War.
The brig USS Niagara will represent the Navy of the War of 1812.
The Monitor was the first armored, turreted vessel, setting the pattern that would dominate naval warfare for many decades.
The Independence Seaport Museum also operates the museum submarine USS Becuna, which fought in World War II and in the Cold War.
To assemble ships representing the Navy in all its major conflicts, no site is better than the Delaware River, because it hosts the USS New Jersey, the only battleship to fight in…
The Navy's service in conflicts from the Gulf War to the present will be represented by several active-duty Navy ships that will majestically steam up the Delaware River and join the historic…
Naval aviation will also be represented at the Navy 250th celebration, with flyovers and hopefully demonstrations and static displays.
The vessels participating in Homecoming 250 celebrations ably represent every major conflict that the Navy has fought, and themselves are an unprecedented gathering of Navy history for the Navy's 250th birthday.
The Marines' 250th anniversary will be celebrated by gathering in the Delaware River ships with a special connection to the Marine Corps.
An unmatchable commemoration of Navy history.

Warm Clothes – Our summer temperatures may seem chilly to you if you are from a warmer, drier climate. An early morning breeze on the ocean can be quite cool and uncomfortable if you are not properly dressed. We recommend the "layered" approach that allows you to add layers or take away layers as the temperature and wind change. More than anything we want you to be prepared and comfortable during your stay with us.
Footwear – Waterproof footwear is highly recommended. Even on dry days, feet have a tendency to get wet in the boat. A light pair of rubber boots or waterproof hiking boots are adequate. An extra pair of tennis or deck shoes will be useful around the lodge and on the dock.
Raingear – Our lodges are happy to provide raingear for our guests. Because Ketchikan gets over 13 feet of rain each year, you're likely to get rained on at some point during your stay. Waterproof gloves are not provided and are recommended for our guests prone to cold hands.
Personal Items – You will need to bring your own personal toiletry items. If you happen to forget something there is a store close by. If you require medication please remember to have an adequate amount for your stay.
Cameras – Whatever you do, do not forget your cameras. This is your weapon against all those friends that don't believe your fish stories.
