POP SMOKE'S MOTHER CONSIDERS ACCEPTING MEETING WITH MURDER SUSPECT'S FAMILY
It's been 16 months since Pop Smoke was gunned down during a botched robbery in the Hollywood Hills. But the pain Pop Smoke's mother Audrey Jackson is experiencing likely feels just as sharp as the day she found out he'd been killed.
On Thursday (June 3), the Daily News reported Jackson was considering meeting up with the family of her son's suspected murderer, 20-year-old Corey Walker.
Walker's attorney Christopher Darden said, "The Walker family has asked me to contact the victim's family so that they might speak privately. I hope to reach out to the family soon."
Audrey Jackson, a teacher with the New York City Department of Education, hasn't decided if she'll be able to go through with it.
"This is new information to me," she said. "I'll have to learn more. I'm working on a lesson plan right now. That is my focus. I really can't say."
Darden reportedly understood the hesitation, adding, "They might need time. I will also understand if (his mom) is not inclined to have that conversation. Everything we have done and said has been done and said while keeping in mind the great respect we have for the victim and the victim's family."
Pop Smoke was shot and killed in February 2020, just before he was to release his historic debut album, Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. In a preliminary hearing last month, Jackson learned the alleged triggerman was a 15-year-old kid who was after Pop Smoke's diamond-studded Rolex and gold chain.
Darden argued Walker may have been the driver that night but never entered the house and even told his younger co-defendants not to use deadly force.
"My client did not kill anyone," he said. "Nor did he conspire to commit murder. Corey was 18. He did not kill the victim. He did not enter the home. The agreement amongst the suspects according to the DA's evidence was that no gun was to be fired. That is in the record."
Walker was expected to be arraigned in the murder case this week, but the hearing was postponed until July 6 as Darden awaits copies of transcripts and a formal declaration from prosecutors they won't seek the death penalty.

Next time you're watching a film or TV, notice where the heads and the eyes of the people doing the talking are. I'll bet they're not in the centre of the frame.
Instead, they'll be positioned slightly to one side. They'll probably be making use of what's called the rule of thirds.
Imagine that your frame is divided by four lines: two running horizontally and two vertically. They are equally spaced and split the frame into nine smaller rectangles. The points at which the four lines intersect create four 'points of interest'. This grid is your guide for composing an image.
Aim to place anything that's of particular significance to the composition, for example the eyes in a portrait and the sun in a sunset scene, on one of the points of interest.
If you divide a line unevenly into two sections a (longer) and b (shorter), the ratio of these two sections will equal φ if a divided by b is equal to the sum of a plus b divided by a.
Rather than divide your frame using three equally spaced lines along each edge, as you would with the rule of thirds, you have two longer sections (a) either side of a shorter section (b). The ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio.
If you're using a square crop for any of your photos, you might find that the rule of thirds doesn't produce the sort of dynamic image that you're used to with a rectangular frame. That's because the eye tends to move around a square photo, rather than across it. For this reason, centred subjects often work effectively in square frames. Or try dividing the frame into triangles, and using those for balance.

most prevalent diseases at ambulatory visit were in order of gastritis (9.0 million cases/ year), GERD (3.7 million), gastroenteritis, peptic ulcer disease, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation. At least four of these (gastritis, GERD, IBS, constipation) might be largely caused by functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). The most common digestive diseases diagnoses on hospital discharge records were stomach cancer (1.0 million visit days/year). Except the malignancy, hemorrhoid, appendix, gall stone, peptic ulcer disease are the leading causes of hospitalization orderly. The major difference between ambulatory visit and hospital discharge was the high number of FGIDs, considering substantial patients with gastritis who could be classified as functional dyspepsia, at ambulatory visit and malignancy in hospitalization. Stomach cancer continues to be leading cause of GI-related death during from 2005 to 2007 in Korea. Conclusions: GI and liver diseases exact heavy economic and social costs and also contributes to the morbidity and mortality in Korea. The healthcare utilization burden by FGIDSs appears to be high because of the high morbidity although no mortality.

S1012 Understanding Lack of Colonoscopy Follow-up in Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) Patients Ryan J. De Lee, Douglas Robertson Background: We previously have reported on the use of FOBT in those with a recent (last 10 years) normal colonoscopy at our center. During that analysis, we found that many FOBT positive patients were not followed up with timely colonoscopy. Aim: To determine why those in this cohort found to be FOBT positive were not followed up with colonoscopy. Methods: We used local VA administrative data and identified all Veterans with a normal colonoscopy (CPT 45378) over a 6 year period: 1997 - 2002 (n=1,768, mean age 64 years, 95% male). Using clinical data files, we then identified all FOBT testing and results done after initial normal colonoscopy through August 2008. We developed a standardized abstraction form to determine whether the FOBT result was recognized by the provider and whether subsequent colonoscopy was ordered (and if not, we noted the reasons why). That abstraction form was applied to all cases where the positive FOBT did not result in a colonoscopy within a 1 year time frame. Results: Thirty-six percent (n=629) of the cohort underwent FOBT testing during the follow up period and 20% of those (n=122) had a positive result. Of the 122 patients with a positive result, 35% (n=43) underwent colonoscopy at our institution in the following year and 65% (n=79) did not. On chart review three of the 79 underwent timely endoscopic evaluation outside the VA system and will not be considered further, leaving 76 patients with a positive FOBT and no apparent subsequent colonoscopy. In 56 of the 76 patients, colonoscopy was never ordered. A provider decided not to pursue a colonoscopy in 31 patients, many of whom were too sick or frail to consider endoscopy (n=16). Nineteen patients underwent another test or evaluation of the heme positive stool, such as EGD or ERCP. The positive FOBT was not recognized nor pursued at all in six patients. In 5 of these 6, the PCP was directly involved in ordering the test, but never acted on the positive result. In 20 of the 76 patients a colonoscopy was in fact ordered. However, more than half were cancelled by the GI physician (7), or patient (8). In one case the consult was accepted but not acted upon by the GI service. Conclusion: While many positive FOBT were not followed up with colonoscopy, few were due to administrative oversight. Decisions were made not to pursue colonoscopy for a number of reasons including patient frailty or a desire not to repeat colonoscopy since one had already been done. More judicious distribution of stool cards is likely warranted.
* calculated based on 2007 inpatients (n=341) S1010 Validation of Utilizing an Administrative Database for Determination of Colorectal Cancer Screening Test use in a Safety-Net Health System Samir Gupta, Liyue Tong, Paula R. Anderson, Bonnie Rose, Elizabeth Carter, Mark Koch, Keith Argenbright, Chul Ahn, Don C. Rockey, Celette S. Skinner Introduction: We previously utilized an administrative dataset, created for the purpose of recording diagnoses and visit/test charges at patient encounters, to identify that just 22% of over 20,000 screen eligible patients in the safety-net health system serving Fort Worth, Texas were up to date with colorectal cancer(CRC) screening(Gupta '09). While this study suggested that administrative data may be used to efficiently assess screening, the validity this approach has not been extensively studied. Further, test indication(screening vs. nonscreening), and the quality of test performance are not discernible from administrative data, which do not serve as a complete medical record. Understanding the validity of test use measurements, and quality of test use are critical for optimizing screening. We hypothesized that while administrative coding would be accurate for test use capture, many tests would be for non-screening indications, and further, that direct chart review would provide insight into test performance quality. Primary aims: 1) Determine validity of using administrative data coding for CRC test completion to measure screening test use, and 2) Evaluate test performance quality. Methods: Test use was determined by administrative coding for: 1) Fecal occult blood test(FOBT), 2) Barium enema, 3) Sigmoidoscopy, 3) Colonoscopy(COLO), or 5) No screening over a 5-year period(Gupta CEBP, DDW '09). 100 subjects from each category were randomly selected for medical chart abstraction, which served as the validation gold standard. A tool validated for determining accuracy of Medicare screening test claims data(Schenck '07) was adapted to abstract test indication(screening vs. sign/symptom evaluation), presence of test completion, and quality parameters. Agreement was estimated by the Kappa(κ) statistic. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize test indication and quality. Results: Agreement between the administrative database and chart abstraction was almost perfect for FOBT(κ=0.83, 95%CI:0.75-0.90) and COLO(κ=0.91, 95%CI:0.85-0.96), and fair for sigmoidoscopy(κ=0.39, 95%CI:0.28-0.49) and barium enema(κ=0.21, 95%CI:0.12-0.29). 40% of tests were for the indication of screening. Test quality, and record of quality parameters were variable. For example, among subjects with positive FOBT, follow-up COLO was noted as recommended for 46%, and bowel preparation quality and cecal intubation were undocumented for 42% and 17% of COLO, respectively. Conclusions: Administrative data have validity for CRC test completion measurement. For assessment of test indication and quality, medical chart review, or implementation of alternate data systems are required.
S1013 Diagnostic Yield in Equivocal Barium Enemas: Experience From a UK District General Hospital Said Isse, Babu Krishnan, Asma Sarwar, Javaid Subhani Introduction. Barium enema (BE) study is known to have a lower sensitivity and specificity than colonoscopy but is often used in less fit patients or those with a lower risk of significant disease. A follow on colonoscopy is required either for therapy (i.e. removal of a polyp) or clarification of "equivocal" radiological findings. The very anatomy (e.g. marked diverticular disease) that leads to an equivocal BE may make the colonoscopy difficult or even dangerous. Further in anecdotal clinical practice few of these "equivocal" BE resulted in a proven pathology. The study assessed the yield of lower gastrointestinal endoscopy (LGE) used to clarify equivocal BE over a 12-month period at our institution. Methods: The list of all patients who had a BE during a 12-month period was obtained from the radiology database. This was matched to patients who had a LGE in a 14-month period from the same start point. The extended period allowed for delays in arranging the LGE. Patients who had a LGE after the BE and whose indications included "equivocal" BE were identified. Their radiology and endoscopic reports were assessed for indications and findings. Results: 1381 barium enemas were performed, and 2559 lower GI endoscopies. 139 patients in total were identified who had LGE following a BE. 44 of these patients had LGE due to an equivocal BE. Of these 44 patients 2 had no clinical indication on retrospective case review. A third (14/44) of the patients were over 70 years old. Of the 42 patients, 41 had normal findings at the area of suspicion (98%). One patient (2%) had a benign stricture confirmed on LGE but did not require any intervention. Furthermore no cancers were detected, however, 4/ 44 (9.1%) had polyps not identified on the BE. In the remaining 95 patients who had LGE following a BE for other indications, primarily therapy or biopsies; polyps were identified in 34% and cancers in 13%. Conclusions: Very few BE required clarification of equivocal findings (42/1381) 3.0%, furthermore, definite abnormalities at BE had a high yield at subsequent LGE. Although this study was not designed to primarily assess the efficacy of BE it appears a useful investigation. Equivocal results on BE do not seem to be related to the suspicion of a lesion as much as a comment on the technical limitations of the study. Clinicians however seem to feel an equivocal result must require clarification. We would urge a different paradigm with review of the case and radiology prior to LGE. This may result in a reduction in these unnecessary procedures often in patients known to be at the greatest risk of complications (i.e. over 70 year olds).
S1011 The Burden of Digestive Diseases in Korea Hye-kyung Jung, Youn Hee Kim, Joo Yeon Park, BoHyoung Jang, Sun Young Park, MiHee Nam, Myung-Gyu Choi Background and aims: Gastrointestinal (GI) and liver diseases impose a heavy economic burden. Although the burden is considerable, current and accessible information on the medical cost is lack in Korea. We aimed to provide a first-time report on the health care utilization and costs of digestive disease in Korea. Methods: We collected the data from the National Health Insurance Corporation, which included all insurance claims database in Korea and the Korea National Statistical Office's cause of death database. We compiled information about all digestive disease as a primary diagnosis on clinic visits, hospitalization, cancer incidence, mortality and cause of death from these databases. Results: The estimated direct cost for all these GI and liver disease was 3,904 billion won (0.4% of GDP). The

I have opted for occupational maternity pay from my employer and in the maternity policy it clearly states that I must return to work for at least 13 weeks or pay back the OMP (not the SMP). My maternity leave is due to finish in March but I have then taken some weeks annual leave until April. I am assuming that the 13 weeks commences from the end of my maternity period and that those weeks of leave contribute to the 13 weeks. Is this correct? I can't see in the policy anything about OMP and annual leave during those 13 weeks.
Without seeing the actual policy, my view is that there should be established a definite date for the end of the maternity leave period and the return to work date so as to establish that the continued absence is due to your taking holiday and not continuing with the maternity leave.
I think that upon that basis you should be able to establish where the 13 weeks starts ie at the end of the maternity leave and the beginning of the holiday leave which continues the absence either in part of in full.

Q: Parse date exact in c# with variable year length I'm trying to find the appropriate format string to parse (exact) the following types of dates:

*

*1-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 - 1 January of 0001

*2011-12-14T15:53:40+00:00 - 14 December of 2011

So the year length seems to be variable (1-4 characters).
The format sting I currently use to parse exact is:
c_DateTimeFormatString = "yyyy-MM-ddTHH':'mm':'sszzz"
Obviously this only matches the second string. The first one poped up today. Now we have to match that as well.
Is there a format string to achieve this?
UPDATE #1
I added the actual dates in clear text after the input date strings.
UPDATE #2
Parse exact has an overload that allows for multiple format strings to be passed in. This seems to be the right way.
So the first try was to use:
DateTime.ParseExact("1-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 ", new[] { "yyyy-MM-ddTHH':'mm':'sszzz", "yyy-MM-ddTHH':'mm':'sszzz", "yy-MM-ddTHH':'mm':'sszzz", "y-MM-ddTHH':'mm':'sszzz" }, CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"), DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal)
But sadly this does ont give the correct result, the first date string is parsed as:
01.01.2001
rather than
01.01.0001
So the question now is what is the correct parsing string to parse year one which is represented with only one digit?

A: You can use an overload of ParseExact to match multiple formats, I believe.
See MSDN.

A: Updated based on comment:
string y = "yyyy-MM-ddTHH':'mm':'sszzz";

string testDate = "1-01-05T00:00:00+00:00".PadLeft(25, '0');
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.ParseExact(testDate, y, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
testDate = "2011-12-14T15:53:40+00:00".PadLeft(25, '0');
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.ParseExact(testDate, y, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

The output is:
1/5/0001 00:00:00
12/14/2011 15:53:40

A: If the input formats are not all exactly the same, you'll need either to stop using parse exact, or to call it with different format arguments depending on the format of the input data.

A: I don't believe you need to match a year from 1 to 4 characters but 2 or 4 characters.
For this example
1-01-05T00:00:00+00:00
you would need something like
d-MM-yyTHH':'mm':'sszzz

A: Try padding your string so that the year is 4 digits long. You should probably add 2, 20 or 201 and not just 0's.

A: Since you know that you have to support multiple formats, I suggest that you use the TryParseExact method.
If it fails to parse using one format (i.e. it returns false), then try the next format.

gaming, in kids' own words
This is the free, Sunday edition of Culture Study — the newsletter from Anne Helen Petersen, which you can read about here. If you like it and want more like it in your inbox, consider subscribing.
A few weeks ago, I interviewed Dr. Rachel Kowert about the new genre of alarmist rhetoric around kids' pandemic gaming and screen time. You might not have kids, and you might not spend much time worrying about gaming. But you can still recognize that as a society, we often spend a lot of time worrying about how a cultural product is affecting a group of people — kids, teen girls, grown-ass women — and very little time actually talking to the people actually consuming it.
In Cultural Studies (the academic discipline, not this newsletter) there's a robust field of research dedicated to doing just that: figuring out how people actually make meaning out of the cultural objects they consume. The ur text is probably Janice Radway's Reading the Romance, published back in 1984 — a book that not only took the romance genre seriously, but also took romance readers, and the process of reading, seriously. The field that grew out of this posture argued that there was nothing simple or straightforward about the way we consume a text. It's always a negotiation, always more complicated than anyone on the outside might assume.
The problem, then, is that some people don't want things to be complicated. They don't want to hear people talk about why they like things, because if they listen long enough, it will challenge neat understanding of things that are "good" and "bad" — especially when it comes to children, or teens, or women. Those groups of people aren't often trusted to know themselves well enough to articulate why something matters. Or, when they do, we simply don't believe them.
Kids don't know everything. But they often do know themselves. So I wanted to hear them talk about their own relationship to the games they play: what they like about it, when they like to play, how games make them feel, who they like to play with, and how they respond to anxiety about their gaming/screen time.
What follows is a handful of interviews — conducted by their parents, grandparents, and siblings — attempting to get at those ideas. I gave adults a list of potential questions, and then asked them to transcribe answers in as close to their kids' voice as possible. Some of the answers have been shortened, but none of the wording has.
I hope you'll enjoy reading these, as I did, and consider setting aside some time to ask curious questions — and really listen to the answers — of the people you care and worry about the most.
I'm Doug. I'm 5 right now, but I am almost 6. My favorite games are Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. I also like games about falling. I like Zelda because you can explore and you can cook food out of the ingredients you find, sometimes it's good food and sometimes it's really gross, but you can watch Link make all sorts of funny faces when he eats the gross food.
I like making some good food like an omelet with eggs, but I also like making bad food like rock hard food with wood and monster wings and eyeballs, and then watching Link eat all the gross stuff. I just never know whether the food I'm making is going to be good or gross and I like to be surprised.
I like to play with my uncle who is really far away in Maryland. It's pretty fun to play with him. We played Super Smash Brothers on the Switch. I told him 'I was really good because I had been practicing so I am going to whoop you' and I won the first two and was telling him how good I was but then he started winning a lot. I told him to please be more easy and he was once, but he whooped me a lot. It's annoying to be whooped.
The other day, my dad helped me beat a big boss in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is a Hinox. It was so hard. Like, so hard. It was a giant pig, the size of a mountain. It was so hard, but my Dad won and it was amazing. Then we got some gross toenails. I used them to make gross food and made Link eat it!
It makes me kind of mad when I don't get screen time or have to take a screen break. It's like I don't want to take a break. I'm having fun and I don't want to stop. It robs my happiness.
If I was trying to convince my teacher to let us play games, I would tell her that she could play video games with us! We could take turns, like a pattern. We'd play my favorite game, then her favorite game and take turns showing all our favorite games. I'd show her new stuff she doesn't even know about yet. My teacher could help me read what all the ingredients do in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I want to make good stuff, and I'm trying to make good stuff, but sometimes I make gross stuff. She could help me learn how to make good stuff.
I hope you really enjoy video games too. They're invented to be really cool. I haven't invented any games yet, I'm just a player. And I'm stuck in this house and maybe one day I'll invent a game but for now, I'm just going to play.
I'm Amity, I'm 9, and my favorite games are Splatoon, Roblox, Among Us, and Sims 4. In Sims 4, I can do whatever I want, live a different life, and make people perfect, or not perfect, and I can also make them awful or mean, and I get to make a fantasy house and have my characters live cool lives. Sometimes I download houses and I like making restaurants and moving my Sims around all the time, and being out of the house all day.
I like to play at night because that's when it's most busy online so it's easy to find people to play games with. In COVID I don't get to talk to people other than my parents and I can kind of do whatever I want in a game. I really like Roblox because I can talk to people and kind of play with them and get my imagination flowing.
In Roblox I love getting out of the map. That means you kind of glitch outside of the map and get stranded out there. Then you have to leave the game and start over. I like to find glitches in games. Roblox is a very glitchy game. It's not very stable because everything is made by kids and we aren't good at coding yet.
When people say that screentime is bad, I want to say, hey, I want to be more social at the moment and it's hard to do that right now and I can only do it with technology. It's hard for me to deal with because I want to be able to hang out with other people, because I'm a very social person. I'm like, well, I'm socializing with people and having a good time and I'm happy, I'm smiling. None of the games I play will let you say "COVID" in chat. I think it's because they want people to have a good time but sometimes you just want to talk about your feelings.
The benefits of gaming are that everyone could get their energy out and be ready to focus. It's a little like recess. I learn creativity and whenever I play Roblox I learn some coding. I have to be reading to play a game. Some role-playing games have money and you have to learn how to spend cautiously (except when you have a cheat). I also learn how other people live, like some people live in an apartment and some live in a house. Different jobs give you different money. Having a cat is easier than paying for a bunch of kids. Kids cost so much money while cats only cost way less.
My name is Connor and I am five. I love Osmo, Build a Bridge, Stack the States, and coding games. I like the Osmo word game because when you go to the next level when you solve the level before it, and that's fun because it's harder. I like to play whenever my parents let me. I feel okay when adults are worried about us spending too much time playing games. I don't know why, but I do. I wouldn't want our teacher to let us play games in school. I like the remote school how it is.
My name is Soren, and I'm 15 years old. I like to play a lot of games, but mostly Horizon Zero Dawn for the graphics and Fortnite for the action and the social play. It usually takes me about an hour to warm up when I play, so I focus on non-competitive or creative modes, like Zone Wars, and work on box fights. If I have at least two hours to play, then I get into competitive matches. We have an E-sports team at school for League of Legends. My tech teacher plays even more than I do.
I feel annoyed and angry with the "too much time playing video games argument," because people don't really understand. They don't play these games. They don't have any experience themselves, and they're judging what we do based on what they've heard or read. Gaming is so new that there's no conclusive evidence yet to prove if it's actually harmful. It feels like they're just trying to control us and tell us what to do.
I'm Marlowe, age 10, and I like to play Megaman, Mario Cart 8 Deluxe, Shovel Knight, and Pokemon. I love Megaman because it's creative, challenging, lots of fun, has amazing boss themes, cool weapons, and unique stages. My favorite time to play is when everyone is out of the room because I like space when I'm playing. The best moment I've had playing is when I beat Megaman 2 for the first time. I mean everyone loves it when you beat a game — it just fills you with so much satisfaction. I get scared sometimes that I spend too much time playing games or that it's bad for me, but I don't look at screens all day. I know it shrinks people's brains when they do it too much.
My name is Hayden and I'm 15. My favorite games are Minecraft, Among Us, and Terraria. Here's how I would explain Minecraft: you spawn in a randomly generated world made out of only cubes, and you must gather resources to survive and build anything you want, which can either be solo or with your friends. I like to play after dinner, since I usually have my work done by then and sometimes my friends will be online.
I run my own server with a lot of my friends, and one of them is known for being very good at designing and building houses and other detailed buildings. We all went on our own near the beginning of the server, so we didn't have too much interaction. One day, I went over to his base when I was wandering around, and I found all of these incredibly well-designed and detailed builds which he designed himself, which I had no idea had existed. He had a wonderful house, a large farm (in the traditional sense, not like what I talked about in question #3), a mine, a barn, his own custom-built forest, and even a winery, all of which was made in Minecraft's limited style of building.
During the pandemic, playing online games is one of the best ways to spend time with friends and have social interaction. So, as long as you finish what needs to be done in your life, and it doesn't get in the way of anything else like homework, exercise or sleep, I think kids should be able to play their video games.
I'm Rune, and I'm 13 years old. My favorite games are FIFA 21, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Fortnite. I like to play late at night or early in the morning, when it's dark outside and everything else is quiet and I can concentrate. When adults say that kids play too many video games it makes me kinda angry and confused. We're already stuck at home and it feels like they're trying to cut us off from our friends even more. So it's kinda annoying.
I'm Henry and I'm 13; my favorite games are Minecraft, Bloons Tower Defense 6, and Beat Saber. Recently I've been playing a modded version of Minecraft and have been slowly working at making my base bigger and better and exploring some of the mods I've never seen before. Other times I log into the newest beta release of the game and mess around with new things and build machines to do stuff. Sometimes I just mess around with TNT or something. The best thing that's happened to me while game is when I first built a binary calculator out of the game's logic connector (called redstone, a sort of wiring if you will). It runs in two two-bit inputs and a one-bit input and has an output of three bits and it can successfully add them.
Honestly I don't really worry about spending too much time game at all. I already spend almost all my time on there anyway and it doesn't seem to have any negative side effects. Key word "seem." People need to make sure they don't get correlation and causation mixed together.
I'm Luca. I'm 14 years old and I am neurodivergent. I love to play Minecraft, Shadow of War, any Lego Games, and Injustice 2. I have unlimited gaming time as long as I have my house chores and school work done well. Whenever I play I usually spend my time playing alone doing building and inventing in Minecraft. But I love it most when I game with my sisters, and parents. When gaming with other people, the most exciting thing that happened to me was when my dad first invited me to play with him and my uncle. I love playing with them.
My parents don't worry about my screen time partially for this reason. I know or have heard of other kids who get less time. Ridiculously short amounts of time, which don't even allow you to get your game started let alone play. So I'm glad my parents understand all of that and allow me to have free amounts of time as I want to. I think that games can allow kid's minds to relax and let the information be learned easily.
When I'm playing with someone else, the most annoying thing that they can do is be toxic. That could mean using bad language, calling each other names, blowing up other people's stuff, killing other people or not being a team player. But the coolest thing that's happened to me while playing was building a working calculator in Minecraft. Also, when I beat Portal when I was 6 years old. My whole family came and watched me at the end. I was so proud of myself.
My first name is Milo, and I turned 11 years old six days ago. I like playing games that have strategy, not ones where you just click one button over and over, but where you have to think about it. Like Among Us, or Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. I've been thinking about getting a game called Bad North where you have to defend from Vikings and strategically put your troops around their landing point to protect houses and churches and stuff. In Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, you have units, or fighters, and you have a certain amount of money, and you have to strategically put your fighters in different spots, and it's super goofy — it doesn't always go the way you want it to — but it's one of the best games ever in my opinion!
I usually spend my time either trying to connect with friends or if I want some "me time," that's when I play TABS because it isn't multi-player. I like creating units or creating different people. I even created units that are my family that have my Grandpa and my cat.
I had my birthday party in Among Us, so I wasn't playing with strangers it was like 8 of my friends. Also Among Us is a portal so my friends who I can't physically see in real life, even the ones who live in LA where I used to live, I can be with them in an instant. It's keeping me from going insane in the pandemic! But I can't argue when adults get worried about spending a lot of time looking at screens or gaming. I have a policy that keeps my eyes from dying which is that any opportunity to go outside I take it, no matter what. I think video games are only good in certain situations. If you do it too much your eyes die, if you do it too little you don't get to socialize. I think you have to find a perfect balance which I think I have.
My name is Violet and I'm 10. I'm almost 11 though. I really like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, which is a game about building community with small cute little animal friends that will talk to you, let you pay debts, have special events, design houses, and lets you play online with friends from real life. If I had just one hour to play I would first enter into the BEAUTIFUL world of Animal Crossing. I would listen to morning announcements from a dog named Isabelle and see if there was anything special going on for the day. Then I would go around my island and see if there was anyone visiting or traveling for the day.
Then I would look and see if any of my villagers had a thought bubble above their head, which would mean that they would want to leave the island which could to villager hunting (villager hunting is not real hunting, it's just looking for a better villager to join your island).
Then, if no one had the thought bubble I would do my daily chores (picking up leaves and fallen branches). After all my daily chores had been done, I'd text one of my friends to see if they want to play Animal Crossing with me. If they were busy I would see if any of my villagers had quests of some sort.
I would also go back to some of the ongoing projects I work on for my island. Some of those are adding a new villager, getting rid of a hill I don't like through terraforming, designing outfits for my character or my friends' characters.
Animal Crossing teaches you how to build a nice secure community, and how to build relationships with celebrations, compliments, gifts, kindness, and building skills. It teaches you about how the economy works by showing you how loans and debts work. It teaches you about designing your own materials, including things you're very passionate about.
I don't think you should be spending all day on screens. It's good to take a break just to hang out with your family or get some food. Sometimes I do feel a little anxious after spending a lot of time on screens. My parents have already given me a restriction where I have two hours a day on Safari or YouTube, and I'm not allowed to talk to my friends after 8pm or before 4:30pm on a school day. I think that's reasonable so that my brain doesn't rot.
Between my school work and the tablet or phone, I do spend a lot of time every day on screens though. I do like screens. Its kind of relaxing for me. I can get into my own world. In the zone where worries melt away. Its also the place where I most get to hang out with my friends, especially during the pandemic. My experience during the pandemic would have been a lot worse without the Switch. I think without it I would have felt a lot more bored and broken. It kind of makes me feel connected to people.

This was incredibly special—thank you. I read some of these responses to my partner, and we found them so moving (especially Doug's cooking adventures in BotW, but most importantly how much kids value gaming with their family and friends). It's really sad to think about kids having to grow up during the pandemic and feel stigma around a medium that allows to safe socializing. But it makes me incredibly happy to see how thoughtfully kids think about these issues.

I really enjoyed the kids explaining their gaming world. Oddly I found it emotionally moving. I don't have children, I have nieces and nephews and they have kids.
This piece moved me in part because it made me accept that just like me, kids are dealing with isolation too, and probably with fewer tools.
It was loud and clear when a few of the kids rejoiced when they connected with family inside or because of the game.
Thank you for the topic.

Géza Krepuska (Pest, 5 September 1861 – Budapest, 15 October 1949. Hungary) was an ear specialist, a university professor and the founder of Hungarian ear surgery. His father, János Krepuska, worked as a farmer at the farm-stead of Szent Lőrinc, later in Pestszentlőrinc. He lived in the 'red house', situated close to the Weather Station.

1888. He received his diploma on 14 January. He worked as an ear specialist at the István and the János Hospital from 1892 to 1911. He was appointed university private teacher in 1898. He taught ear surgery. From 1911 he was appointed manager of the Otology Faculty of the Rókus Hospital where he worked until 1933. However, he held lectures until 1936. His study book was published in that same year. The book with 357 pages and 2219 pictures was titled Otology.

He met the illustrious geologist of his time, Lajos Lóczy, the manager of the Geology Institution.

He established an experimental vineyard at his estate in Péter Bleak. He naturalized several sand species helping the state of Hungarian viniculture. In 1899 he built a two-storey building with a cellar to keep and process wine. When he died in 1949, he was buried at the Graveyard in Fiume Street (Budapest).

In the 18th district of Budapest, an annual vintage festival, a street and a tablet preserve his name and fame.

China Returns to Davos With Clear Message: We're Open for Business
Tinggalkan Komentar / World / Oleh trennews
DAVOS, Switzerland — China ventured back on to the global stage Tuesday, sending a delegation to the World Economic Forum to assure foreign investors that after three years in which the pandemic cut off their country from the world, life was back to normal.
But the Chinese faced a wary audience at the annual event, attesting to both the dramatically changed geopolitical landscape after Russia's war on Ukraine, as well as two data points that highlighted a worrisome shift in China's own fortunes.
Hours before a senior Chinese official, Liu He, spoke to this elite economic gathering in an Alpine ski resort, the government announced that China's population shrank in 2022 for the first time in 61 years. A short time earlier, it confirmed that economic growth had slowed to 3 percent, well below the trend of the past decade.
Against that backdrop, Mr. Liu sought to reassure his audience that China was still a good place to do business. "If we work hard enough, we are confident that growth will most likely return to its normal trend, and the Chinese economy will make a significant improvement in 2023," he said.
Mr. Liu, a well-traveled vice premier who is one of China's most recognizable faces in the West, insisted that the Covid crisis was "steadying," seven weeks after the government abruptly abandoned its policy of quarantines and lockdowns. China had passed the peak of infections, he said, and had sufficient hospital beds, doctors and nurses, and medicine to treat the millions who are sick.
He did not mention the 60,000 fatalities linked to the coronavirus since the lockdowns were lifted, a huge spike in the official death toll that China announced three days ago.
Mr. Liu's mild words and modest tone were in stark contrast to those of his boss, President Xi Jinping, who came to Davos in 2017 to claim the mantle of global economic leadership in a world shaken up by the election of Donald J. Trump in the United States and Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
Since then, the United States and Europe have united to support Ukraine against Russia, leaving the Russians isolated with the Chinese among their few friends. Russia's revanchist campaign has raised questions among Europeans about whether China might have similar designs on Taiwan, and escalated security concerns among the world's democracies.
Mr. Liu steered clear of political issues like the war in Ukraine or China's tensions with the Biden administration. But he did say, "We have to abandon the Cold War mentality," echoing a frequent Chinese criticism of the United States for attempting to contain China's influence around the world.
But it is China's demographics and economic growth that are raising the biggest questions among businesspeople. The decline in population lays bare the country's falling birthrate, a trend that experts said was exacerbated by the pandemic and will threaten its growth over the long term. The 3 percent growth rate, the second weakest since 1976, reflects the stifling effect of the government's Covid policy.
"The Chinese are worried, and they should be," said Evan S. Medeiros, a professor of Asia studies at Georgetown University. "The entire international business community is way more negative about China over the long-term. A lot of people are asking, 'Have we reached peak China?'"
Professor Medeiros, who served as a China adviser in the Obama administration, said, "For the past 20 years, China has benefited from both geoeconomic gravity and geopolitical momentum, but in the last year it has rapidly lost both."
The signposts of China's economic weakness are everywhere: the government announced on Friday that exports fell 9.9 percent in December relative to a year earlier.
"China has an export slowdown, construction is in crisis, and the local governments are running out of money," said Jean-Pierre Cabestan, professor of political science at Hong Kong Baptist University. "China needs the world: to boost its economy, to accompany the return to more normalcy."
Mr. Liu laid out a familiar set of economic policies, from upholding the rule of law to pursuing "innovation-driven development." He insisted that China was still attractive to foreign investors, who he said were integral to China's plan to achieve the government's goal of "common prosperity."
"China's national reality dictates that opening up to the world is a must, not an expediency," Mr. Liu said. "We must open up wider and make it work better. We oppose unilateralism and protectionism."
But China's delegation was a reminder of how the government has sidelined some of its own best-known entrepreneurs as it has reined in powerful technology companies. Jack Ma, a co-founder of the Alibaba Group, used to be one of the biggest celebrities at the World Economic Forum, holding court in a chalet on the outskirts of Davos. Now shunted out of power, Mr. Ma is absent from Davos.
Instead, China sent less well-known executives from Ant Group, an affiliate of the Alibaba Group, as well as officials from China Energy Group and China Petrochemical Group. Unlike other countries, notably India and Saudi Arabia, which plastered buildings in Davos with advertisements for foreign investment, China has been low-key, holding meetings at the posh Belvedere Hotel.
After his speech, Mr. Liu, who has a command of English and holds a graduate degree from Harvard, met privately with business executives. Some expected him to be more candid in that session about the challenges China has faced.
Mr. Liu did not meet top American officials in Davos, though he will meet Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in Zurich on Wednesday. Martin J. Walsh, the labor secretary who is at the conference, said he welcomed China's return. "China's in the world economy," he said. "We need to engage with them."
Though Mr. Liu, 70, has a significant international profile — having led trade negotiations with the Trump administration — China experts noted that he is not in Mr. Xi's innermost circle. He is also no longer a member of the Chinese government's ruling Politburo, though analysts said he retained the trust of Mr. Xi.
When he spoke at Davos in 2018, Mr. Liu's speech was among the best attended of the conference. This year, however, about a quarter of the hall emptied before Mr. Liu spoke, after having been packed for a speech by Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission.
The difference in crowd sizes reflected the reshuffled priorities of the West, now focused on exhibiting unity against Russian aggression.
Ms. von der Leyen, who celebrated that solidarity in her remarks, did not exactly warm up the audience for Mr. Liu. She accused the Chinese government, in its drive to dominate the clean-energy industries of the future, of unfairly subsidizing its companies at the expense of Europe and the United States.
"Climate change needs a global approach," she said in a chiding tone, "but it needs to be a fair approach."
Mark Landler reported from Davos, Switzerland and Keith Bradsher from Beijing.

In modern day life, the way of living is a lot different in comparison with that of a decade ago. This is due to a number of reasons including technological advances, an increase in work hours, and more research being held in all parts of the world on various issues.
Among these things, one of the biggest thing which has changed is the diets of people. Due to the availability of a wide range of options in food, people have new benefits which they did not have before. For instance, a person suffering from diabetes can also satisfy their sweet cravings by buying diabetic-specific desserts.
In a similar way, there are also low-calorie meals, snacks, and menus in restaurants. There is no doubt that staying healthy and sticking to a diet without it becoming boring is much easier. Therefore, various types of diets have emerged such as veganism.
The vegan lifestyle has been recently gaining a lot of attention. You may have noticed a lot of celebrities have gone vegan and promoted their lifestyles via different forms of media. Why is this so? The logic behind vegan diets is related to reducing animal cruelty and decreasing the damage to Earth.
In addition to this cause, research has also identified the benefits of consuming a vegan diet for health. According to statistics by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, around two-thirds of the population in the US does not consume enough vegetables and fruits.
This may explain the rising problem of obesity and other deadly condition in the US and the world in general.
New research conducted by investigators from three international institutions — the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine and the Institute of Endocrinology in Prague, Czech Republic, as well as the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington, DC shows consuming a vegan diet may solve this issue.
With the rise in vegan diets across the globe, there has also been increased research on its effects on health. The recent research specifically showed how having a vegan diet can encourage the production of a gut hormone that helps in the regulation of blood pressure.
Secondly, the hormone also helps in making the person feel fuller for a longer period of time. Thus, it may also help a person fighting obesity or weight management in general. The findings of the study are published in 'Vegan Nutrition' – which is a special edition of the journal Nutrients.
The researchers conducted the study by looking at 60 male participants. 20 of these were healthy and formed the control group, 20 had obesity, and 20 suffered from diabetes type 2.
These participants were then split randomly. Some of them followed a vegan diet while others had normal diets. The macronutrients and caloric were kept in check by the researchers.
After observing the participants, the researchers noted that people who consumed a vegan diet had a higher number of good gut hormones regardless of their health status at the time.
These hormones not only help in controlling blood pressure but also regulated insulin production and glucose. They also helped in managing weight because of their high satiety levels.
This research is specifically important for people suffering from health conditions like obesity and diabetes type 2. It proves how a plant-based diet may help them battle their conditions and improve their health over time.

Q: What is the concept behind "text" withiin Haystack SearchIndex In the example from http://django-haystack.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html
class NoteIndex(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):
    text = indexes.CharField(document=True, use_template=True)
    author = indexes.CharField(model_attr='user')
    pub_date = indexes.DateTimeField(model_attr='pub_date')

It says
"Every SearchIndex requires there be one (and only one) field with document=True. This indicates to both Haystack and the search engine about which field is the primary field for searching within."
Does this mean it is the same thing as a unique id when it comes to Solr ?
It would be really helpful if someone can elaborate with a Solr document example/how it would look like in a query.

A: You can add as many fields as you want in Haystack/ES, but the only field that will store the text used for search, is the one with document=True, and for standarization, the default name for this field is "text"
Another file you need to have using Haystack is
templates/search/indexes/project/anymodel_text.txt
And you will add in this file the model fields you want to search for text, this anymodel_text.txt file should look like:
{{ object.name }}
{{ object.description }}
{{ object.last_name }}
# Or any other field that belongs to your model

And this text will be stored in the field text you're asking for

*

*The fields you add in this anymodel_text.txt doesn't need to be in search_indexes.py, the fields used here belongs to your model, the original:
e.g.: If you have a file named description in your model, and you didn't add it in search_indexes.py, you can use it in your anymodel_text.txt to store the text of the original field in the text field of Haystack model

*The fields added in search_indexes.py are for Haystack model, and don't need to exist in your model, you can add new fields. This fields will exists in the SearchQuerySet object when searching

During the Friday evening performance at the Benalto Stampede, young, up-and-coming- cowboys wrangled a wild pony and attempted to ride it for a few seconds as part of the wild pony race. Photos by Megan Roth/Sylvan Lake News
Benalto Fair and Stampede thunders to a close
The 102nd annual stampede in Benalto closed Sunday afternoon after four thrilling days
Jul. 8, 2019 11:15 a.m.
The loud cheers in the stands was echoed by cracking thunder overhead as competitors from across North America braved Alberta's ever-changing weather for the 102nd Benalto Fair and Stampede.
The four-day event brought in the best professional cowboys and girls Canada, the United States, and even some from as far away as Australia, to the small Central Alberta town for exciting rodeo action.
For the most part, the rain stayed away during the performances over the weekend.
This gave Klayton Lakevold from Provost, Alta. the chance to take home top spot and the prized buckle in the rodeo-favourite event bull riding.
Lakevold won nearly $900 for his 82.5 point ride on 11 Bar Code.
With 81 points, Jacob Gardener took second place and $744.48 in bull riding followed by Kyle Brown in third place with 71 points, winning $589.38.
Lane Watt from Hardisty, Alta. won for his 83.5-point ride on JR 31 Benny's Boy in the stampede's saddle bronc event. Second place went to Lane Crust with 83 points while third place was an 82-point tie between Hunter Sawley and Ben Andersen.
A score of 80.5 points was enough to win first place in the bareback event. Strawbs Jones took top prize for his ride on Northcott-Macza Rodeo's 36 Scarface.
Wyatt Maines came in second with a score of 77 points at the end of the rodeo Sunday. Third place was a tie between Michael Solberg and Spur Lacasse, both riding for 76 points.
Vanscoy, Sask. cowboy Dustin Walker took the buckle, and a prize of $1405.30, in steer wrestling. The Saskatchewan cowboy had the fastest time of 3.5 seconds.
In tie-down roping, Logan Bird could not be touched. He put up a time of 8.7 seconds early in the rodeo, and that secured him first place.
Less than half a second behind Bird, Blair Smith put up a time of nine-seconds for second place. Third place went to Dean Edge with a time of 9.2 seconds.
Toni Dixon from Millarville, Alta edged out the rest in the barrel racing event. Dixon put up a time of 15.343 seconds for first place and won $1781.54.
Just milliseconds from first place was Jennifer Sharp with a time of 15.502. Third place went to Rylee Trenholm who put up a time of 15.503.
The McCarroll team of Justin and Brett McCarroll hailing from Camrose had the fastest time in team roping. The duo put up an impressive time of 5.1 seconds.
Second place was a tie. The Bonnetts, Keely and Logan, had the same time as the Bradies, Braidy Davies and Brady Chappel. Both team had a time of 5.7 seconds.
Rounding out the rodeo events was the novice and junior events.
Novice saddle bronc saw Condor resident Hayden Cole take top spot with a score of 73 points.
Tanner Eno from Coronation had a 37-pint ride in novice bull riding. This was enough to give the young cowboy first place.
Hailing from Sundre, Gordon Erickson put up 81.5 points in junior steer riding. Following Erickson was Benjamin Havell in second place with 80.5 points and Tristen Manning with 75 points for third.
No competitor qualified in the novice bareback event.
The pro rodeo in Benalto is one of the longest running, continuous rodeo event in Canada.
Carolynn Knapp rounds the second barrel during her 15.736 second run in the barrel racing event Friday night. Knapp finished the weekend in seventh place in the event.
Jake Maher attempts to hold on during the final event of the night, bull riding. Unfortunately Maher was thrown from the bull before the eight-second buzzer sounded.
Gage Hillis is taken for a ride around the arena during junior steer riding. Hillis finished in fourth place with a final score of 72.5 points.
Professional rodeo clown Hollywood Harris teaches a couple from the audience how to use a whip in between categories. Harris coached Samantha to aim for the paper in her husband's mouth, not her husband.
Just seconds before her toppled from his horse, Nicholas Patterson attempts to make an adjustment during his saddle bronc ride.
Eckville saddle bronc rider Jake Brown holds on tight after exploding from the gate. Brown was knocked off his bucking bronco before the buzzer went off, and recorded no time for the Benalto Fair and Stampede.
Eckville resident and recent graduate from David Thompson High School, Kylie Windo was crowned as Miss Benalto Fair and Stampede during the Friday night performance of the rodeo.
Colt Cornet rushes into fifth place in tie-down roping. The cowboy put up a time of 9.4 seconds and tied with JT Robinson.

Q: How to share a large amount of data between activities? I have a MainActivity that fetches a large-ish amount of data from a web server using Retrofit. This data is shown in a recycler view.
Now, I want to have another activity which works on the exact same data set. What's the most efficient way to do this? Earlier I have done this using a static Controller that keeps track of the data, but I keep hearing a lot of critique about static containers like that. Passing the data in the intents is not optimal, since the data is rather complicated and there's so much of it.
Optimally, I'd like to be able to modify the data set in either of the activities so that the changes are reflected to the other activity as well.

A: I think you should consider 2 options (depending on the amount of data you would like to share, and the type of devices your app is suppose to run on)

*

*You can extended the application class to include global data between your activities. You can read more about it here: http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials/maintaining-global-application-state

*You can use persistence storage (i.e. sqlite/file).
There are trade-offs for each approach. And which one will suit you best depends on your specific setup.


Three years ago this December I made the best decision ever - to move to Wyoming and marry a handsome man I met on an airplane. At the time I wasn't sure what would happen to my flower dream and Whirly Girl Flowers but I was willing to risk it all for love.
Last December, after a few big life changes (moving from Boston, getting married, buying a house, having a baby) I decided it was time to take the leap and introduce my love of flowers to Sheridan, WY and see what was possible. 2017 has blown me away and exceeded all of my hopes and dreams. It wouldn't have been possible without you!
I started with a series of Pop-up shops at Twisted Hearts on Main St. These monthly events gave me the opportunity to share my favorite flowers (hello roses and ranunculus!) while meeting lots of new flower friends. Pam has been an incredible encouragement this year and gave me a beautiful space to meet all of you! She's always willing to listen to my ideas and cheer me along as I reach for my dreams. She gave the best introduction I could have asked for in Sheridan, WY. Did you stop by, say hello and pickup flowers? I am so thankful you did!
To my 2017 brides - you trusted me with a little piece of your wedding day and I'm so grateful for you. I loved meeting you, listening to your plans and creating something to accompany you on your big day. The best part of my job is handing a bride her bouquet and watching her face light up with joy. The very first bride to book Whirly Girl this year is getting married in just a few weeks and I can't wait!
In a year of meeting new people and trying new things I launched a series of classes this November. Without a public space of my own I'm thankful for the partnerships I've built with local business and the opportunity to use great spaces at The Union at the Montgomery and Luminous Brew House for causal gatherings with friends and loads of flowers while we create arrangements. Interested in hosting a flower party? I'd love to plan one with you.
I'm looking forward to 2018 with big dreams; plans to learn more, create more beauty and build a community in Sheridan around flowers. If you're planning a wedding or a party or simply want to learn more about flowers- I can't wait to meet you.


Power is an important element in our lives because it gives the energy to run machines that we use. The living of people is made simple because the machines are involved in making work easier. The machine uses energy from sources like the solar, generator and electricity. The generator is a fast and reliable source of power unlike the rest. That has made it become famous among the people in the market. Depending on its capacity, the generator can be used from home to industrial use.
Generators are known to be used mainly as back up in case electricity is gone. The generators operate by harnessing the power of fuels and in that way, they are able to give power. The inventers of the generator had started with it being manual but over the years it has been automated. That means that they go on by themselves in case of a power outage. The businesses of the clients are not interrupted whatsoever. For the reason that it has become famous in the market has made the demand for the generators to rise in the market. In large numbers, the people have come to the market and that is because of the demand. The many varieties there are in the market make the clients have a hard time in making the choice. Basis should be placed on a number of factors while the client is making a decision to make it easier.
The first factor is the size of the generator. Size refers to the largeness and that can be accompanied by its ability to give power. the generators need to be kept in a place out of the reach of a lot of people and that is to ensure minimal disturbances. The space that the client has should be relative to the size of the generator that they choose.
The second factor is the efficiency. The least cost being used to meet an operation that is done to the full is what is called efficiency. The variation of the generators happens because of the fuel intake and the ability to convert them. A conversion rate that is high is essential because of the ability it has to save money for the client. Efficiency can also mean how much a business's operations can be continued in case of an interruption because of the generator. Because the automatic generator needs the most minimal human interaction, that is why it is considered the best option for the client. Because they can be expensive, the client should choose according to the budget.

Q: Facebook login session with a second login I'm developing an android app that performs a two-stages login.
First the user logs in using a Facebook account, and then he logs in a party giving party name and party password which are stored in our server's database.  The log-in with Facebook is handled by integrating the Facebook API both in android and in our server, so when a user logs in using Facebook, a Facebook session starts.
I would like to know what's the best way to integrate the party login knowing that the party will be linked to the user.
I have some ideas like creating a PHP session associated with the Facebook session and adding the variable party to the session, or directly using the database to associate a party to a user. I want to be able to make requests using the access token given by Facebook.
In conclusion, the server has to know the user and the party in which he is participating just by receiving the access token.

A: Since the party name and password are already stored in your database, then you should just store the user association to a party as well.
So one way of many

*

*Store a table with all the party names, party ID and passwords

*Store a table with the users, user ID and access tokens

*Store a table that matches a party ID to a user ID

So then when you look up a user by access token

*

*you query for a the ID associated with that access token

*you do a query on your database to look up all PIDs (party ID) associated with that user ID

Of course based on your scale and the actual final schema you are looking at you will need to change this around.
Try to write out a flowchart to see how it will show. For example this is a flowchart showing two logins, email and Facebook.

The 10 Best Universities for Robotics in the USA
According to Indeed.com, the average salary for robotic engineers in the U.S. currently stands at $100,501 per year.
Money is not the only motivation for studying robotics. But let's be honest: it's always good to know that you'll settle well after graduating. With a degree in robotics, you'll have plenty of opportunities for career growth.
But you're still at the beginning. How can you become a robotics engineer? What are the best universities for robotics?
We'll list the top 10 universities that offer great robotics programs in the USA.
1. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
When looking for the perfect robotics university, it's important to consider the team of professors. The Robotics Group at MIT has brilliant faculty.
Let's take a look at one of the professors: Daniela Rus. She will introduce you to programming and robot design. She is a leading researcher in the field, focused on integrating robots in daily life.
MIT is a great university, with all resources you need. With its state-of-the-art laboratories and star professors, you'll fall in love with robotics for life.
2. Stanford University
Your choice of a university also depends on the type of robotics you're interested in. Stanford University leads the research and innovations in swarm robotics. With this approach, several robots coordinate their functions into a system.
You can check few videos on the YouTube channel Stanford SHAPE Lab. You'll see the designs that students themselves created.
3. Carnegie Mellon University
Carnegie Mellon University has its very own Robotics Institute. It is one of the top research institutions specializing in personal robotics, legged locomotion, and nanorobotics. The research team focuses on all areas where robotics can be applied: infrastructure, agriculture, security, disaster cleanup, and more.
This is a program that requires a lot of practical work. If you're not great at developing projects and presentations, maybe you'll need to rely on an Australian assignment help at Edubirdie at the beginning. But with the right dose of determination, you'll fit into the challenging environment.
4. Georgia Tech
Are you looking for an institution precisely focused on robotics and intelligent machines? You want to live in a relatively small campus where you'll only see people with similar interests? Then you're the perfect fit for the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines at Georgia Tech.
You can attend an ARMS traineeship program in healthcare robotics if you want to focus on that area. There's also an outstanding PhD program to consider.
5. University of Pennsylvania
Penn's School of Engineering and Applied Science offers a Master's degree program in the field of robotics. It's a joint program that directly involves the departments of mechanical engineering, electrical and systems engineering, and computer science.
With this interdisciplinary approach, you'll gain enough knowledge to apply in various sectors. You want to work on industrial automation? You can do that with this degree. You're interested in the automotive or aircraft industry? This is the right MA program for you.
6. Brown University
In addition to offering top-level education and experience in robotics, Brown will also make you part of the Humanity Centered Robotics Initiative. It's a program dedicated to delivering technology that the entire society benefits from.
The robotics development team from this university made huge contributions in medical robotics. They are focused on developing childcare and hospital robots, which will revolutionize the healthcare industry.
7. California Institute of Technology
This institute offers a great selection of undergraduate programs related to the robotics field. So, you can focus on this industry early on in your education. As for graduate students, the Control + Dynamical Systems PhD program is a great choice. It serves just like a degree in robotics engineering, but it's more specific. The courses focus on mathematical and experimental techniques in the control and theory of dynamical systems.
The California Institute of Technology is a great example of the way robots impact modern education. The research labs are highly equipped. You'll gain theoretical knowledge, but the courses are mostly focused on practical implementation of theories.
8. UC Berkeley
UC Berkeley is famous for its Robotics and Intelligent Machines Lab. What makes it special? It has a whole department that replicates animal movements, with the purpose of developing better mobility in robots.
The CITRIS People and Robots Initiative is another thing to pay attention to. It's one of the most advanced research programs devoted to developing new theories and software that help implement robots into people's daily lives.
9. The University of Texas at Austin
U. T. Austin is home of the Nuclear and Applied Robotics Group. It's formed by researchers from different disciplines. They focus on innovations in various disciplines, including medicine, battlefield, space, and radiation.
That says enough for the faculty, doesn't it? You'll learn from innovative, highly focused experts in robotics. If you complete the Graduate Portfolio Program in Robotics, you'll gain a certification of expertise. That's a good foundation for a successful career in the field.
10. Columbia University
The website is not impressive but take your time to explore the projects. You'll see that the students at Columbia University are part of impressive achievements. Object-space teleoperation, eye-hand control, tracking and grasping moving objects – those are only few of the many projects that came out of this group.
There are five research groups that offer undergraduate, graduate, PhD, and post-doctoral programs: Living Architecture, Creative Machines, Robotics & Rehabilitation, Robotics Manipulation & Mobility, and Peter Allen's Robotics.
What's Your Choice?
The list of U.S. universities offering programs in robotics is pretty extensive. You have plenty of options. This will be a major decision for you. So, take your time to do research. If you can, visit few universities to get direct impressions from their research centers.
All you need to do is identify your goals and find the program that helps you achieve them.
