The Social Democratic Party of Germany (German: Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands [zoˈtsi̯aːldemoˌkʁaːtɪʃə paɐ̯ˌtaɪ ˈdɔʏtʃlants]), or SPD, is a social-democratic political party in Germany.
Led by Andrea Nahles since 2018, the party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Germany along with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The Social Democrats have governed at the federal level in Germany as part of a grand coalition with the CDU and the Christian Social Union (CSU) since December 2013 following the results of the 2013 and 2017 federal elections. The party participates in 14 state governments and 7 of them are governed by SPD Minister-Presidents.
The SPD is a member of the Party of European Socialists and initiated the founding of the Progressive Alliance international for social-democratic parties on 22 May 2013 after criticising the Socialist International for its acceptance of authoritarian parties. Established in 1863, the SPD is by far the oldest extant political party represented in the German Parliament and was one of the first Marxist-influenced parties in the world.
The General German Workers' Association (Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiterverein, ADAV) founded in 1863 and the Social Democratic Workers' Party (Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands, SDAP) founded in 1869 later merged in 1875 under the name Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands, SAPD). From 1878 to 1890, any grouping or meeting that aimed at spreading socialist principles was banned under the Anti-Socialist Laws, but the party still gained support in elections. In 1890, when the ban was lifted and it could again present electoral lists the party adopted its current name. In the years leading up to World War I, the party remained ideologically radical in official principle, although many party officials tended to be moderate in everyday politics. By 1912, the party claimed the most votes of any German party.
Despite the agreement of the Second International to oppose World War I, the Social Democrats voted in favor of war in 1914. In response to this and the Bolshevik Revolution, members of the left-wing and of the far-left of the SPD formed alternative parties, first the Spartacus League, then the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) while the more conservative faction was known as the Majority Social Democratic Party of Germany (MSPD). After 1918, the SPD played an important role in the political system of the Weimar Republic, although it took part in coalition governments only in few years (1918–1921, 1923 and 1928–1930). Adolf Hitler prohibited the party in 1933 under the Enabling Act and party officials were imprisoned, killed or went into exile. In exile, the party used the name Sopade. The Social Democrats had been the only party to vote against the Enabling Act while the Communist Party was blocked from voting.
In 1945, the Allied occupants in the Western zones initially allowed four parties to be established, which led to the Christian Democratic Union, the Free Democratic Party, the Communist Party and the SPD being established. In the Soviet zone of occupation, the Soviets forced the Social Democrats to form a common party with the Communists (Socialist Unity Party of Germany or SED). In the Western zones, the Communist Party was later banned by West Germany's Federal Constitutional Court in 1956. Since 1949, the SPD has been one of the two major parties in the Federal Republic of Germany, with the other being the Christian Democratic Union. From 1969 to 1982 and 1998 to 2005, the Chancellors of Germany were Social Democrats whereas the other years the Chancellors were Christian Democrats. Shortly before the reunification of Germany in 1990, the East German Social Democratic Party merged into the West German SPD.
The SPD was established as a Marxist party in 1875. However, the Social Democrats underwent a major shift in policies reflected in the differences between the Heidelberg Program of 1925 which "called for the transformation of the capitalist system of private ownership of the means of production to social ownership" and the Godesberg Program of 1959 which aimed to broaden its voter base and move its political position toward the centre. After World War II, under the leadership of Kurt Schumacher the SPD re-established itself as a socialist party representing the interests of the working class and the trade unions. However, with the Godesberg Program the party evolved from a socialist working-class party to a modern social-democratic party working within liberal capitalism.
The current party platform of the SPD espouses the goal of social democracy, which is seen as a vision of a societal arrangement in which freedom and social justice are paramount. According to the party platform, freedom, justice and social solidarity form the basis of social democracy. The coordinated social market economy should be strengthened and its output should be distributed fairly. The party sees that economic system as necessary in order to ensure the affluence of the entire population. The SPD also tries to protect the society's poor with a welfare state. Concurrently, it advocates a sustainable fiscal policy that does not place a burden on future generations while eradicating budget deficits. In social policy, the Social Democrats stand for civil and political rights in an open society. In foreign policy, the party aims at ensuring global peace by balancing global interests with democratic means, thus European integration is one of the main priorities of the party. The SPD supports economic regulations to limit potential losses for banks and people. They support a common European economic and financial policy and to prevent speculative bubbles as well as environmentally sustainable growth.
The SPD is mostly composed of members belonging to either of the two main wings, namely the Keynesian social democrats and Third Way moderate social democrats belonging to the Seeheimer Kreis. While the more moderate Seeheimer Kreis generally support the Agenda 2010 programs introduced by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, the Keynesian social democrats continue to defend classical left-wing policies and the welfare state. The classical left-wing of the SPD claims that in recent years the welfare state has been curtailed through reform programs such as the Agenda 2010, Hartz IV and the more economic liberal stance of the SPD, which were endorsed by centrist social democrats. As a reaction to the Agenda 2010, there was in 2005 the ascension of an inner party dissident movement which led ultimately to the foundation of the new party Labour and Social Justice – The Electoral Alternative (Arbeit & soziale Gerechtigkeit – Die Wahlalternative, WASG). The WASG was later merged into The Left (Die Linke) in 2007.
Before World War II, as the main non-revolutionary left-wing party the Social Democrats fared best among non-Catholic workers as well as intellectuals favouring social progressive causes and increased economic equality. Led by Kurt Schumacher after World War II, the SPD initially opposed both the social market economy and Konrad Adenauer's drive towards Western integration fiercely, but after Schumacher's death it accepted the social market economy and Germany's position in the Western alliance in order to appeal to a broader range of voters. It still remains associated with the economic causes of unionised employees and working class voters. In the 1990s, the left and moderate wings of the party drifted apart, culminating in a secession of a significant number of party members which later joined the socialist party WASG, which later merged into The Left (Die Linke).
Geographically, much of the SPD's current-day support comes from large cities, especially of northern and western Germany and Berlin. The metropolitan area of the Ruhr Area, where coal mining and steel production were once the biggest sources of revenues, have provided a significant base for the SPD in the 20th century. In the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, the SPD has governed without interruption since 1949. In southern Germany, the SPD typically garners less support except in the largest cities. At the 2009 federal election, the party lost its only constituency in the entire state of Bavaria (in Munich). Small town and rural support comes especially from the traditionally Protestant areas of northern Germany and Brandenburg (with notable exceptions such as Western Pomerania where CDU leader Angela Merkel was re-elected in 2005) and a number of university towns. A striking example of the general pattern is the traditionally Catholic Emsland, where the Social Democrats generally gain a low percentage of votes, whereas the Reformed Protestant region of East Frisia directly to the north, with its strong traditional streak of Anti-Catholicism, is one of their strongest constituencies. Further south, the SPD also enjoys solid support in northern Hesse (Hans Eichel was mayor of Kassel, then Hesse's Minister-President and finally Finance Minister in the Schröder administration while Brigitte Zypries served as Justice Minister), parts of Palatinate (Kurt Beck was party leader until 7 September 2008) and the Saarland (political home of one-time candidate for federal chancellor Oskar Lafontaine, defected from the SPD in 2005).
The SPD, at times called SAPD, participated in general elections determining the members of parliament. For the elections until 1933, the parliament was called Reichstag, except of the one of 1919 which was called the National Assembly and after 1949 when it was called Bundestag. Note that changes in borders (1871, 1919, 1920, 1949, 1957 and 1990) varied the number of eligible voters whereas electoral laws also changed the ballot system (only constituencies until 1912, only party lists until 1949 and mixed system thereafter), the suffrage (women vote since 1919), the number of seats (fixed or flexible) and the length of the legislative period (three or four years). The list begins after the SPD was formed in 1875, when labour parties unified to only form the SPD (then SAPD, current name since 1890).

Joint pains are often a part and parcel of ageing. They can occur in the younger generation as well due to trauma from accidents or due to some diseases such as arthritis. Living with the pain and discomfort can be tough, especially when it interferes with the mobility and everyday life activities.
Joint replacement surgery is done when other methods of treatment for curing joint pain and restoring full mobility does not find success. The procedure involves replacing the affected joints with an artificial prosthesis designed to mimic the functions and capabilities of the natural joint.
The procedure of joint replacement is usually performed to correct irregularities on joints like knees, shoulder, hips, ankles, elbows and fingers. The orthopaedic surgery helps in eliminating pain and restoring motion with the flexibility of the artificial joint.
The procedure of joint replacement involves the replacement of the damaged joints by artificial prosthesis made of materials such as plastic or inert metals. These are non-reactive and hence do not cause infections. The prosthesis is either cemented or uncemented depending on the age of the patient. In case of younger people, the joints are left uncemented to enable the bones to grow into it, fixing it in place while in the older generation, they are cemented in place. With the development in technology, joint replacements have been simplified with minimally invasive procedures of arthroscopy.A pioneer in joint replacement and arthroscopy, Dr SS Soni, is one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Jaipur.


Doug Aldrich has announced a special one-off masterclass in Belfast as part of the Livewire Workshop series. The intimate workshop presented by Amped Guitar School will take place at the Crescent Arts Centre on the 14th May 2013.
Guitarist Doug Aldrich is an ordinary guy with an extraordinary talent. This gifted instrumentalist has spent the better part of his life as a dedicated partner to the six-string, be it Les Paul, Strat or Tele.
A hitmaker overseas and a Top 5 sensation in Japan, LA based Doug realized his love for music at the age of 11 when his older sister turned him onto the likes of Jeff Beck, Stevie Wonder and Peter Frampton. "My little sister had a classical guitar that I was gravitating towards and I started to teach myself on her guitar". A year later Doug received his first electric guitar. A Sears copy of the Les Paul guitar fancied by his early idol Jimmy Page. Later he would replace the copy with a real '73 Gold Top Les Paul.
In his early adolescence Doug formed a band called Purple Haze with his neighbors. As Doug's father moved the family around the eastern US, Doug would form new bands in each city with local players. This was an important time that Doug feels honed his early style. On weekends the band would retreat to the basement, jam and learn the tunes of Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Although he enjoyed playing the tunes of these artists Doug's biggest influence came from Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and of course Page. Later Doug would also soak in the styles of Gary Moore, Michael Schenker, Ritchie Blackmore and Randy Rhoads.
In the early 80's after finishing school Doug packed his car and relocated to Los Angeles CA. And found himself forming bands and playing local clubs. In 1982 Doug was pursued by Kiss and found himself auditioning for the lead guitar slot. While Doug admits he was clearly too young and immature for the gig, the experience led to a relationship with Gene Simmons that continues today. The experience was a wake-up call for Doug and he began to work even harder toward his ultimate fate. Once in LA Doug began teaching guitar at a local music store and quickly gained a reputaion as a sought after guitar coach.
As Doug explains, this was also very important. "Teaching was really great for me because I was playing all day long, working on teaching new things as well as the fundamentals. It helped me greatly. I taught 70 kids a week and some of those guys were amazing and would really keep me on my toes."
In 1985 Doug and a high school buddy formed the band Lion with ex-Steeler drummer Mark Edwards and British Tytan singer Kal Swan. It was through Kal that Doug got his hands on the earlest Whitesnake recordings. Lion made 3 records and had a top 20 video on MTV's Headbangers Ball.
Shortly after Lion broke up Doug worked with bands Hurricane and House Of Lords. Doug gained high marks for his guitar work on these recordings, especially for his rendition of Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home". Although he is not listed on the record, Doug performed 90% of the guitar work on the Sahara record.
In the 1990's Doug and Kal Swan's creative energies joined once again to form the band Bad Moon Rising. The band was produced in Germany at Musicland Studios by Mack who was known for his work with Queen, Rainbow and Whitesnake. The band recorded several records and toured in both Europe and Asia, enjoying great success in Japan.
During this period Doug had an opportunity to exhibit his extraordinary guitar talents with the solo albums "High-centered" and "Electrovision" produced by Andy Johns of Led Zeppelin fame. With an ear towards expanding limitations, Doug ventured into new territory in both songwriting and sonic textures and more tribal syncopated rhythms. Doug made an effort to try new things such as experimenting with various stomp boxes and different guitars to ellicit and break standard barriers. A sound purist, Doug's key quest would be to combine the output of a myriad of guitar pedals to test the limits.
A veritable virtuoso on the six-string, Doug's passion and sensitivity towards music can only be explained and described with his chosen instrument. His variety of guitars consists of mostly collectible guitars including a few rare Les Pauls and Fenders. Similarly, his cache of amps is equally impressive ranging from vintage Marshalls and Fenders. His main amp was purchased in 1981, and is still his main amp in the studio and live. He has blown up this particular amp several times only to have it resurrected for another play. Doug gives names to all his favorite guitars and amps, and named this amp "Spewy" after one fiery blowup!
Doug's personal record collection is extensive and ranges from old blues and jazz to contemporary music. "I love all kinds of different music. Sometimes it could be Count Basie and Duke Ellington or depending on my mood, new stuff like Foo Fighters or Coldplay. Musically I still love old rock best though. Don't wanna ever lose my roots". Not one for following trends, Doug knows what he likes and prefers to stick to what he does best and does it to the best of his ability.
In 2001 Doug accepted a request to join Ronnie James Dio's band Dio and record the "Killing The Dragon" record. Although Doug came into the fold at the end of writing the record, two of the album's strongest tracks were written by Doug and Ronnie at the last minute. Once again Doug was rated highly for his work with Dio by press and fans alike.
2002 was a busy year in which Doug toured the world with Dio, supporting several of his favorite bands including Deep Purple. One highlight was in Germany when Doug was asked by Deep Purple's Steve Morse to join the band onstage to perform "Smoke on the Water". Dio recorded a live DVD and record called "Evil or Divine" which shows for the first time the ferocity of Doug's onstage playing.
While on tour fate finally kicked in when Doug was contacted by David Coverdale with an offer to join the reformed Whitesnake and tour in 2003. Doug eagerly accepted the offer after an initial meeting with David. "I was blown away by that! David is the ultimate singer for me, his voice is thick as molasses. He is an amazing songwriter and I knew this was a chance of a lifetime". In 2003 Whitesnake began a nine-month world tour that helped meld the band into one of the best versions of the lineup to date. In 2004 Whitesnake captured this lineup on the "Live In The Still Of The Night"DVD. The DVD is a perfect representation of David and the band and leaves you wanting more. The award winning DVD was voted best live DVD of 2006 by UK's Classic Rock Magazine, and also garnered gold status in several countries including Germany.
During the first few years of Doug's tenure, there was great bonding time for Doug and David. Doug soaked up everything David could teach. The two spent much time together on and off the road which led to the start of a musical collaboration between the two. The first fruit of their writing can be heard on 2006 "Live In The Shadow Of The Blues" record. The record features many Whitesnakes classic hits and finishes off with four new songs which the band released on SPV Records worldwide.
These new songs were the catalyst of a great partnership for Doug and he immediately began preparing new ideas for David. The two took several months in early 2007 to write and create what is destined to be a Whitesnake classic album in itself. "Good To Be Bad" is 11 brand new songs and the start of an exciting time for Doug. Doug describes the process best. "Good To Be Bad was a total commitment and we were very focused from the start. David and I started preparing the songs in early'07 and got on a really good roll. We spent a lot of time discussing what David wanted to accomplish and part of my goal was to help him see that through in whatever needed to be done. I feel the new record covers a lot. David sounds just amazing on this! We had a great time writing together and you can hear that in the record. It was very rewarding to see the songs develop. I'm proud to be a part of this record".
In 2011 Doug pursued his close collaboration with David by co-writing and co-producing Whitesnake's latest studio opus "Forevermore". Their partnership carried on outside the studio as well, with an extensive world tour covering nearly all continents.
While Whitesnake went on hiatus in 2012, Doug put together an impromptu jam band playing covers of some of his idols' material (Hendrix, Zeppelin, Purple, etc.) with two of his then-Whitesnake brothers-in-arms, Michael Devin and Brian Tichy. They had several successful runs in the UK and Europe culminating with a few intense sold-out shows in Cyprus and Greece.
2013 is shaping up to be a stellar year for Doug. Whitesnake are releasing live DVDs and albums where Doug shines not only as a super talented axe-meister but also as co-composer and co-producer. A new world tour will showcase material from Whitesnake's extensive discography. But more importantly, Doug's band Burning Rain has finally completed their third Album "Epic Obsession" which will give his fans another opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the many facets of this multi-talented artiste.

Communicatively efficient language production and case-marker omission in Japanese
Chigusa Kurumada, Department of Linguistics, Stanford University
T. Florian Jaeger, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, University of Rochester
Recent studies hypothesize that language production is governed by the principle of efficient information transmission: speakers tend to omit elements whose information content is contextually predictable while providing more linguistic signal to convey otherwise less predictable information. However, previous findings in support of this hypothesis are also compatible with alternative accounts based on production difficulty. To distinguish between these competing accounts, we conducted experiments on speaker's preference in optional casemarking in Japanese. The results suggest that Japanese speakers are more likely to omit the object case-marker when an associated noun has semantic properties that are prototypical to a grammatical object. Moreover, case-marker omission was facilitated when other elements in a sentence made the grammatical function assignment more predictable. The results were obtained with all the factors related to production difficulty held constant, and thus support the models of communicatively efficient language production.

Hospitals should prevent or cure disease—not become sources of disease. Given the magnitude of nosocomial infections, training workers, particularly those involved with medical devices, is critical. Reusable medical devices must be thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, disinfected, and, in some cases, properly reassembled.
Avoiding inadequate sanitization or disinfection is a global issue. Contamination may be biologic or non-biologic. Contaminants may be active or dead. Disinfection and sterilization are not enough. Cleaning is essential to assure optimal performance of the device and to avoid environments that can promote the growth of organisms. Effective training encompasses the correct handling and management of medical devices to assure proper operation and reduce exposure hazards to healthcare workers and patients.
"Canned" training programs are not sufficient. In-print and online programs may provide the basics and allow for a quick review. Yet, they often do not reflect the literacy, level of education, or language of those being trained. Professional educators emphasize that better learning occurs when students are engaged; tapping a key on a keyboard or viewing a video does not provide a meaningful learning experience. A canned program does not encompass the reality of a specific work environment. Without compelling evidence that the information has to be retained and acted on, actual practices and behavior may not change.
What makes a good training course?
learn, understand, and apply the material being presented.
They incorporate the information into their daily activities. Therefore, an effective training course has to be appropriately designed to reflect the way the students learn.
The right education program involves considering potential hazards from a number of perspectives. For example, in the clinical setting we have to minimize hazards to workers, patients, and the environment.
Device manufacturers designing effective training courses benefit by going into the field to see how their device is used. This exercise starts at the design stage and moves forward. It is evident that small refinements can make the difference between an easily operated and assembled device and one that is prone to malfunction and contamination. For all devices, it is enlightening to visit the actual site, to see how devices are used, cleaned, sanitized, and disinfected.
Employee exposure can include inhalation and contact exposure. This includes evaluating the impact, individually and collectively, of all cleaning and disinfecting agents. Alternative chemicals that may appear to pollute the air or water less may have adverse impacts on the safety and health of workers or patients, or vice versa.
Evaluating hazards to the patient is even more complex. A chemical may have benign respiratory effects yet may be harmful to the patient. There may be other routes of exposure, particularly where a device comes in contact with blood or tissue. Leachable residue and outgassing must be considered. A device that is not cleaned and sanitized correctly may not function properly. Cleaning directions have to be clear, concise, practical, and achievable. For example, immediate disassembly of a device may be highly desirable because the longer a soil is in contact with a substrate, the more adherent the soil becomes. In clinical environments, patient issues may take priority over immediate disassembly and cleaning of the device. This is where the site visit can be particularly valuable. By evaluating work flow, it is often possible to design an optimal approach that considers immediate patient needs and product safety.

Washington, D.C. — The Center for American Progress announced today that Christy Goldfuss, former managing director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, or CEQ, has rejoined CAP as the Center's new Vice President for Energy and Environment Policy. As managing director, Goldfuss helped develop and implement the Obama administration's environmental and energy policies, including the Climate Action Plan, President Barack Obama's major initiative to combat climate change.
Prior to her work at CEQ, Goldfuss was the deputy director of the National Park Service, where she helped lead efforts to set and meet strategic goals related to conservation and preservation of America's natural and cultural heritage. She also created and directed the Public Lands Project at CAP and worked on the legislative staff for the House Committee on Natural Resources.


Two French cartoonists pay a tribute to iconic blues musician Robert Johnson (1911-1938) who inspired legendary musicians such as Bob Dylan, Jimmy Hendricks, the Rolling Stones, and others traveling to Mississippi (USA). They tell us their graphic novel, "Love in vain", a bestseller translated in seven languages (and published in United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Finland, Poland and Japan), about the life of the artist, walking in his footsteps in the cradle of the blues, meeting real blues men. The 80th anniversary of Robert Johnson's death is celebrated in 2018.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Between the ages of about six and fifteen, I spent my Saturday afternoons at the Court Street Theater, five blocks from my house. I watched at least 1000 films. Back then, network prime time featured films both Saturday and Sunday nights, and I saw a lot of them, too.
I discovered fairly early that I seldom liked the film version of a book as much as I liked the book. Later, I became heavily involved in live theater. Over the course of 30 years, I acted, directed, produced, designed, and helped build over 100 productions throughout central Connecticut. On those rare occasions when someone tried to turn a novel into a play, that tended to be a bad idea, too.
Because the three art forms rely on different elements. Stories use words, which create images and emotions in the reader's mind and often rely on their style to make their point. Plays use movement or behavior, often in the context of time and space (the stage). Films function through images.
The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite novels, and I've seen five or six film adaptations, none of which satisfied me. Fitzerald's use of biased narrator Nick Carroway doesn't translate well to the screen. I know there is a stage version of the novel, a musical, no less, and I have avoided it. That concise little book, barely more than a novelette, doesn't need heavy-handed jazz production numbers to convey its ideas. There's also an opera, but let's pretend I didn't mention it.
A story with a distinctive or idiosyncratic style doesn't translate to film or the stage (the film version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a glaring exception, and I loathe the play). I've seen several bad attempts to put Wuthering Heights on film (The famous Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon version clearly does not understand the book). Both Huckleberry Finn and To Kill A Mockingbird have successful film versions, probably because even though they are also 1st-person POV, the characters relate events that happen outside themselves. Horton Foote took liberties with Mockingbird, but they relied on words AND IMAGES. When I showed the video in class, I knew at least one student would tear up when Gregory Peck walked out of the courtoom and a black spectator told Scout, "Miss Jean Louise, rise. Your father is passing."
If that didn't get them, Scout's greeting Robert Duval in his film debut as the shattered Boo Radley always did. "Hey, Boo." Cue the tears. Both powerful IMAGES supported by words.
When I advised the high school yearbook for several years, I trained myself to be a decent (never more than that) photographer. You can learn composition and cropping. I could never write a screenplay because I'm not visual enough to tell a story through what the audience SEES. I never designed sets back in my theater days because I can't visualize space. Since plays use movement ("Blocking") to help tell the story, you need to translate ideas into motion. By directing 20 plays in as many years, I got better because I figured out how to choreograph movement, but it was a huge weakness in my early work. I learned to move people with the rhythm of the lines and scene, often on a beat change or to emphazise a particular speaker or line. Camera angles do that on film with a good director or editor, but can you connect the visual rhythm to the story's pace? Only if it's mundane writing.
Sometimes, the unreal quality of a play gives it its power, and a film image is too literal. John Pielmeier's play Agnes of God has three characters, one who is both narrator and protagonist. The entire set consists of two chairs and a standing ashtray, and the theatricality makes it all work. My daughter gave me the film version on video years ago, but I never watched it. I'd seen my wife play Agnes on stage and I didn't need to see Hollywood put the bloody wastebasket where the baby was supposedly found in a close-up.
A theater I worked with for years presented an early STAGE version of High Noon.
Thankfully, I never saw it. Imagine trying to put on stage that series of jump cuts as the film reaches its climax: The clock's pendulum swinging, Grace Kelly waiting for the train, the bartender and other men in the bar, the bad guys waiting for their leader, Gary Cooper writing his will in the Marshal's office, the clock, the bar, the bad guys, Grace Kelly, Katy Jurado, the church congregation, all with that orchestrated version of the title song, the beat synchronized to the pendulum...and then the train whistle that freezes your heart in your chest.
The two final visuals. Grace Kelly embracing Gary Cooper, the wedding ring on her finger. Then Cooper staring at the towsnpeople who refused to help him while he drops his badge in the dust.
The film is based on a story called "The Tin Star." I've never read it.
Cornell Woolrich's short story "Rear Window" has many built-in problems, but Hitchcock figured out how to make it less static with camera angles on film. Alas, a few years ago, a play version was commissioned, or should I say, "committed." My wife played one of the apartment dwellers in the world premiere at Hartford Stage (maybe the only production ever), with Kevin Bacon as the photographer. He was excellent, but he was stuck in a wheelchair on a large stage. The star of the show was the computer-operated back wall that moved up and down so the audience could peer into the neighbors' apartments. It cost $300,000 to build that set, and I don't think anyone has produced the show since...and rented the set so HSC could recoup some of the cost.
If you want to write a screen play, do it. If you want to write a stage play, do it. If you want to write a novel or short story, absolutely do it. But remember that they're different animals, and mixing species leads to scary mutations. Like the Island of Dr. Moreau.

Based on the Novel by . . .
by John Floyd
I'll start off with a fact gleaned from writer Stephen Follows's blog: More than half of the top 2000 films of the last twenty years were adaptations. The rest, of course, were original screenplays and remakes. I see a lot of all three, and I plan to see a lot more--but with regard to movies adapted from novels, I do always try to read the book before watching the movie.
Why? Simple answer: Because the book is usually better. Also, I like to be able to picture the characters, settings, etc., in my own mind first, rather than seeing instead the result of what was in someone else's mind.
If all that's true, one might ask, why bother to watch the movie at all? That's an easy one, too: I want to see how the filmmaker's view compares to my own. Besides, as I've said, I just like movies. And sometimes--not often, but sometimes--what I see on the screen turns out even better than what I saw on the page.
Which brings up another question. What makes for a successful movie adaptation? Is it good simply because it remains faithful to the book? Not necessarily. I heard Twilight was faithful to the book, and look what happened there.
I think a good adaptation is when a piece of fiction, novel-length or short, great or terrible, is transformed into a good film.
Several categories are involved, here. And--as always--the following lists are based on my opinion only.
The four possibilities
1. Disappointing book becomes a disappointing movie: Dreamcatcher, Scarlett, Eragon, The Bridges of Madison County, The Reivers (I know, I know, it won the Pulitzer--but still), The Time Traveler's Wife, Battlefield Earth, Love Story, The Da Vinci Code, Message in a Bottle, The Betsy, The Valley of the Dolls. (NOTE: "Disappointing" doesn't necessarily mean "of poor quality." It just means "disappointing." To me.)
2. Book is better than the movie: The Stand, The Bonfire of the Vanities, The Great Gatsby, Congo, One for the Money, Great Expectations, The Haunting of Hill House, Ender's Game, The Golden Compass, Dune, The Hobbit, Mind Prey, Live and Let Die, Striptease, Tell No One, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, It, The Pillars of the Earth, Sphere, The Scarlet Letter, Timeline.
3. Movie is better than the book: Dances With Wolves, Die Hard, Mrs. Doubtfire, Dr. Strangelove, M*A*S*H, Forrest Gump, Les Miserables, Casino Royale (2006), Cape Fear, The Bourne Identity, The Graduate, Psycho, Heaven's Prisoners, Blade Runner, Thank You for Smoking, The Godfather, The Poseidon Adventure, Interview With the Vampire, L.A. Confidential.
4. Good book becomes an equally good movie: Mystic River, The Searchers, The Silence of the Lambs, The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mockingbird, Jaws, The Dead Zone, The Caine Mutiny, The Eye of the Needle, Shane, Rebecca, From Russia With Love, Misery, Giant, Papillon, The Maltese Falcon, The Princess Bride, Magic, Hombre, Out of Sight, From Here to Eternity, Cool Hand Luke, Sands of the Kalahari, The Cider House Rules, The Big Sleep (1946), The Hunt for Red October, Gone With the Wind, A Time to Kill, Presumed Innocent, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Old Yeller, The Guns of Navarone, Life of Pi, The Lord of the Rings, The Green Mile, Jurassic Park, The Hunger Games, The Hustler, The Road, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Prince of Tides, Jackie Brown, The Day of the Jackal, The Help, Holes, Flight of the Phoenix, Appaloosa, Third Man on the Mountain, No Country for Old Men, Get Shorty, Death Wish, The High and the Mightry. (And, according to R.T. Lawton's SleuthSayers column yesterday, Enemy at the Gates. I've seen that movie but I've not read the book.)
There are obviously many, many more, but my head's beginning to hurt, and yours probably is too. Can you suggest others, in the above categories? Do you disagree with some of my choices? (My wife certainly does.) Should I stop buying books at garage sales and cancel my Netflix subscription? All opinions are welcome.
Observations from the cheap seats
Note 1: A lot of outstanding films have been adapted from--believe it or not--short stories. Examples: Rear Window ("It Had to Be Murder"), High Noon ("The Tin Star"), It's a Wonderful Life ("The Greatest Gift"), 3:10 to Yuma, Brokeback Mountain, Duel, Stagecoach (The Stage to Lordsburg"), Bad Day at Black Rock ("Bad Day at Honda"), The Swimmer, Minority Report, It Happened One Night ("Night Bus"), 2001: A Space Odyssey ("The Sentinel"), The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Fly, Don't Look Now, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Note 2: Good novellas usually make good movies. Why is this true? I think it's because a novella-length story most closely fits the length of a screenplay. Short-story adaptations (unless they become short films, or "episodes" in TV shows like Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents) require the screenwriter to add a lot to the originals--and novel adaptations (unless they become TV miniseries like Centennial, Roots, and Lonesome Dove) require the screenwriter to leave a lot out. Examples of excellent novella-based movies: The Old Man and the Sea, Double Indemnity, The Mist, Apocalypse Now (Heart of Darkness), Stand By Me (The Body), The Shawshank Redemption (Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption), The Thing (Who Goes There?), The Birds, The Man Who Would Be King, The Third Man, Hearts in Atlantis (Low Men in Yellow Coats), The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Most of these were able to remain fairly true to the source material.
Looking ahead . . .
I'm hoping that movies will one day be made from the following novels: The Bottoms (Joe Lansdale), The Given Day (Dennis Lehane), The Quiet Game (Greg Iles), Rose (Martin Cruz Smith), Plum Island (Nelson DeMille), The Matarese Circle (Robert Ludlum), 11/22/63 (Stephen King), The Two Minute Rule (Robert Crais), A Cold Day in Paradise (Steve Hamilton), Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (Tom Franklin), Booked to Die (John Dunning), Cimarron Rose (James Lee Burke), Destroyer Angel (Nevada Barr), Killing Floor (Lee Child), Time and Again (Jack Finney). I'm keeping fingers crossed--I'd miss an episode of The Walking Dead to see one of those.
At the moment, I'm looking forward to watching several recently-released and upcoming films based on novels: Gone Girl, The Maze Runner, Mockingjay, The Hundred-Foot Journey, and Horns. Will they be good or bad? Better than their books, or worse?
Who knows. You pays your money and you takes your chances.
Maybe that's part of the fun.

Smiley's Series
by Terence Faherty
As part of its Pioneers of Television, PBS did a segment on the miniseries, a dramatic form that was extremely popular in the late seventies and all through the eighties. It's a shame that it isn't more popular today. Some of the failed Lost clones, like FlashForward and The Event, might have succeeded as miniseries. Viewers might have been more willing to invest their time if they'd known that the big questions posed by these shows' high-concept premises were going to be resolved in a reasonable amount of time and without endless (and increasingly crazy) plot complications.
During its heyday, the miniseries usually focused on sweeping, multigenerational sagas, but mystery novels were occasionally included. I remember a late seventies adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's The Dane Curse starring James Colburn. And there were the two BBC productions I revisited this past winter, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People, which were both based on novels by John le Carré. The inspiration for my video trip down memory lane was the much more recent film version of Tinker, Tailor, which starred Gary Oldman. I enjoyed the movie, but it left me nostalgic for the 1979 miniseries, in which Alec Guinness played George Smiley, "retired" spy.
If that reference to Smiley's profession (or your own knowledge of le Carré's works) has you thinking that these books are espionage stories and not mysteries, you're half right. They're espionage stories and mysteries. In fact, Tinker, Tailor is a whodunit, as were le Carré's two earlier Smiley books, Call for the Dead and A Murder of Quality. I still remember the suspense that slowly built during the original broadcast of Tinker, Tailor (which didn't occur in the U.S. until 1980) over the true identity of Gerald, the Russian mole inside British Intelligence. Reviewing the miniseries courtesy of Netflix, I felt that old suspense again. (Netflix did its best to encourage this by only entrusting me with one of the series' three discs at a time.)
Smiley's People is somewhat less satisfying as a story but just as well adapted. (Both series were scripted by le Carré himself.) There is a murder to be solved, but Smiley is more interested in why it happened than in who did it. Though made three years after Tinker, Tailor, Smiley's People reunites many members of the original cast. In fact, the casts of both miniseries are uniformly excellent. They include future stars Alan Rickman, doing a bit as a desk clerk, and Patrick Stewart, in the nonspeaking (!) role of Russian master spy Karla. Two of the strengths of Smiley's People are some great location shooting and an increased amount of screen time for Alec Guinness, who functions like a loner P.I., warned off the case by the authorities and hunted by the bad guys.
It would be hard to overpraise Alec Guinness's two performances as George Smiley. Guinness was an actor who could play broadly if the role called for it, but his real forte was underplaying. His talent for quiet was put to good use here, as George Smiley is one of the great listeners of popular literature. Both miniseries feature powerful scenes in which some other, more flamboyant character wanders far from the point of the conversation while Smiley sits quietly, waiting to draw him or her back. Depending on the situation, he might cajole or flatter or wheedle or simply will the wanderer to focus. I've written that sort of interaction many times, as has any writer of detective fiction, and it's a pleasure to see it done this well. And Guinness/Smiley's reactions to the constant references to his wife's infidelities--tiny winces or a slight narrowing of his eyes or just blank resignation--are equally wonderful.
I'll mention one last point of interest, at least for the writer of historical fiction. There are only two types of films and television shows: those done as period pieces and those that become period pieces over time. Smiley's miniseries are in the second group. I'd forgotten that the three-year gap between the two series marked a sea change in men's fashions. In Tinker, Tailor, wide, loud ties and wider lapels predominate. By Smiley's People, styles (or should I say widths?) had returned to a more classic look.
The late seventies might have been a bad time for clothes, but it was a really good time for long-form dramatic television. If you haven't seen these two examples recently, check them out.

Chip and Joanna Gaines launch Magnolia Network. What is their net worth?

It's official. Chip and Joanna Gaines, the hosts of HGTV's popular Fixer Upper series, launched their own cable TV network today.
The Magnolia Network will host a number of popular home renovation and reality-style documentary series and will replace DIY Network. It was originally slated to launch in October 2020, but the pandemic pushed its arrival back to January 2022.
The Magnolia Network can be accessed through Discovery Inc.'s streaming service, Discovery Plus, and will include the Gaines' new Fixer Upper: Welcome Home, along with several familiar faces from the Fixer Upper franchise, according to Forbes. Series set to join Fixer Upper: Welcome Home include a show oriented around family cooking from popular HGTV host Andrew Zimmern, and a new series from furniture maker Clint Harp.
The launch of their new network adds yet another impressive item to the Gaines' already lengthy résumé. They are the most recognizable faces in the home renovation and DIY game, and the new network poises them to reach an even broader audience.
What is the Gaines' net worth?
This is good news for the popular couple, whose net worth has grown alongside their relevance in the television renovation world. The work they've put in over the years has paid off in the form of an estimated net worth of $10 million apiece, according to Parade. This gives them a combined net worth of around $20 million, an enviable number by all accounts.
Years of work went into reaching this number, between the couple's numerous exploits. Beyond Fixer Upper, which netted the pair an estimated $30,000 per renovation, they also earn revenue from Magnolia Realty, Magnolia Homes, their Target line, Hearth & Hand, and from numerous owned properties and businesses throughout Texas.

Q: PSDH and SCP to transfer files How can I use PDSH and SCP to transfer file to my servers (over 200 of them coming from a text file - ips)
Also how can I automate this? Have people written scripts for this? Examples?

A: If you mean parallel-ssh (apt-get install pssh on Debian), you can do this quite simply this way.
parallel-scp -h ips localfile /remote/path/file

If you meant pdcp, which is part of the pdsh package, I would pass on it - I just gave it a try and it would seem it requires pdcp to be present on the remote host, unlike parallel-scp. So I would stick to the former if you can - but if you must you can try this:
hosts=`cat ips | tr '\n' ','`
pdcp -R ssh -w $hosts localfile remotefile

This assumes ips has a host per line. It reads it and replaces the newlines by commas, thus creating a list in the format expected by pdcp. You can skip this step if you already have a comma-separated list of course.

In a mosaic of America, Seedfolks is set in a vacant lot of Cleveland in a neighborhood that has turned over from immigrant whites to migrating blacks to a new batch of immigrants from Asia & Latin America, even as people remain from the earlier waves. The title comes from a young girl who plants seeds in the vacant lot in her father's memory, an act that animates the disparate residents of the urban community. It is an acting tour-de-force for Ivey Award-winning Sonja Parks, who transforms seamlessly into a dozen characters who surround an 11-year old Asian girl, using accents, gestures and attitude to distinguish her personas in this compelling drama.

Socks are also rather universal. From president to pauper, almost everyone wears socks. And they tell a lot about us. A wool argyle gives the impression of bookishness. A black silk stocking suggests sophistication. A threadbare gym sock reeks of brute energy. In Footnotes we get to actually hear what they have to say about their owners. And when those owners are famous historical figures, there's no telling what stories they'll have up their… well, you get the point.
Because of the universality of socks, anyone can participate at home or school. Just be sure to wash yours first.

DeAngelo, Andrzejczak, Tucker, Conaway & Land Bill to Support NJ Military Installations Clears Senate Panel
Andrzejczak Conaway Deangelo Labor Military and Veterans' Affairs News & Releases Tucker
Legislation Would Support Employers Who Contract With Military & Train Veterans
(TRENTON) – Assembly-approved legislation Assembly Democrats Wayne DeAngelo, Bob Andrzejczak, Cleopatra Tucker, Herb Conaway and R. Bruce Land sponsored to support businesses and workforce tied to New Jersey's five military installations was advanced Monday by the Senate Labor Committee.
The bill was approved 76-0 by the Assembly in June.
"Our military installations clearly play an important role when it comes to national defense, but when you consider the thousands of jobs tied to the military, the businesses that support the installations and the billions of dollars in revenue that the installations generate, the local economic significance of New Jersey's military installations is irrefutable," said DeAngelo (D-Mercer/Middlesex), vice-chair of the Assembly Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee. "Any legislation that supports our installations, therefore, will have a positive impact on our state as a whole."
New Jersey's military installations provide 45,631 direct jobs and 27,603 indirect jobs, according to the July 2015 Military Installation Growth and Development Task Force report. The bases add $6.5 billion of wealth to the state's gross domestic product and create $9.6 billion in business revenues.
The bill (A-2517) would give preference for Department of Labor and Workforce Development (LWD) grants to employers who provide equipment, supplies or services to military bases and installations pursuant to a procurement or military contract with the United States Department of Defense, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or any branch of the United States Armed Forces.
The bill stems from the recommendations of the task force report. The task force was created by executive order upon the urging of the New Jersey Council on Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs, on which DeAngelo serves.
"This legislation will help ensure that New Jersey's defense-related industries have the employees they need to continue supporting our state's military installations," said Andrzejczak (D-Cape May/Atlantic/Cumberland), a U.S. Army veteran who was wounded in Iraq. "Training is central to meeting the long-term needs of military installations."
"In addition to being critical to our national defense, military installations generate significant economic growth in New Jersey," said Tucker (D-Essex), chair of the Assembly Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee. "Directing training grants to defense-related employers, therefore, ultimately will benefit the state as a whole."
The measure also would extend preference to employers who focus on the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields or provide training to veterans.
"The STEM fields always have been at the foundation of the military and the defense industry, and the demand for individuals with STEM skills will only increase into the future," said Conaway (D-Burlington), who served in the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps. "This legislation will ensure that New Jersey is equipped to meet that growing demand."
"Veterans developed unmatched skills and expertise while in the military that can be of great service in civilian employment," said Land (D-Cape May/Atlantic/Cumberland), a U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam. "Using this funding to refine the skills they already have will ease their transition to civilian life while also benefiting our state's economy."
The five military installations located throughout New Jersey are: Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington and Ocean counties; Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County; United States Naval Weapons Station Earle in Monmouth County; Air National Guard 177th Fighter Wing in Atlantic County; and United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May in Cape May County.

Sodium periodate is an inorganic salt, composed of a sodium cation and the periodate anion. It may also be regarded as the sodium salt of periodic acid. Like many periodates, it can exist in two different forms: sodium metaperiodate (formula NaIO4) and sodium orthoperiodate (normally Na2H3IO6, but sometimes the fully reacted salt Na5IO6). Both salts are useful oxidising agents.

Preparation
Classically, periodate was most commonly produced in the form of sodium hydrogen periodate (). This is commercially available, but can also be produced by the oxidation of iodates with chlorine and sodium hydroxide. Or, similarly, from iodides by oxidation with bromine and sodium hydroxide:

\overset{sodium\ iodate}{NaIO3} + Cl2{} + 4 NaOH -> Na3H2IO6{} + 2NaCl{} + H2O
NaI + 4 Br2 + 10 NaOH -> Na3H2IO6 + 8 NaBr + 4 H2O

Modern industrial scale production involves the electrochemical oxidation of iodates, on a lead dioxide () anode, with the following standard electrode potential:

H5IO6 + H+ + 2e- -> IO3- + 3 H2O

Sodium metaperiodate can be prepared by the dehydration of sodium hydrogen periodate with nitric acid.

Na3H2IO6 + 2 HNO3 -> NaIO4 + 2 NaNO3 + 2 H2O

Structure
Sodium metaperiodate (NaIO4) forms tetragonal crystals (space group I41/a) consisting of slightly distorted  ions with average I–O bond distances of 1.775 Å; the Na+ ions are surrounded by 8 oxygen atoms at distances of 2.54 and 2.60 Å.

Sodium hydrogen periodate (Na2H3IO6) forms orthorhombic crystals (space group Pnnm). Iodine and sodium atoms are both surrounded by an octahedral arrangement of 6 oxygen atoms; however the NaO6 octahedron is strongly distorted. IO6 and NaO6 groups are linked via common vertices and edges.

Powder diffraction indicates that Na5IO6 crystallises in the monoclinic system (space group C2/m).

Uses

Sodium periodate can be used in solution to open saccharide rings between vicinal diols leaving two aldehyde groups. This process is often used in labeling saccharides with fluorescent molecules or other tags such as biotin. Because the process requires vicinal diols, periodate oxidation is often used to selectively label the 3′-ends of RNA (ribose has vicinal diols) instead of DNA as deoxyribose does not have vicinal diols.

NaIO4 is used in organic chemistry to cleave diols to produce two aldehydes.

In 2013 the US Army announced that it would replace environmentally harmful chemicals barium nitrate and potassium perchlorate with sodium metaperiodate for use in their tracer ammunition.

"I fell out with my wife on 31st December 2012, after a crazy night out with friends," the man choked out the words into the microphone, as an ominous hush fell over the crowded sanctuary. "We stayed together for a few months, but it was more a room-mate situation than a marriage." He continued.
He related how him and his wife eventually separated and she moved out of the house.
Today was testimony Sunday at my church, Mamlaka Hill Chapel, and members of the congregation were standing up to share the different ways God had revealed and glorified Himself through their lives and experiences. The service leader for the day, Pastor Isaac Murage, began by laying down the ground-rules concerning the testimonies. This was a prudent measure to protect the privacy of some members and to discourage any tendency to claim any glory in our testimonies rather than ascribing it to God.
I found the inclusion of ground-rules a necessary measure — one that was a teaching moment in itself. For example, we often fail to testify about God, not because we do not have a testimony, but because we think of them as our own achievements. We claim the glory to ourselves.
The man who stood to tell the story of his failed marriage did not paint himself as the victim in his story. But neither did he paint himself as the hero. On the contrary, he took the blame for whatever had happened. At the end of his moving testimony, to the surprise of many (I included) the man's wife stood up from the seat next to his and hugged him. The story had a happy and glorious ending — the couple had reconciled towards the end of 2013. What seemed like an impossible marriage had been redeemed through prayer and God's grace.
Testifying is an act of praise. While some choose to tell of God's marvelous works in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, others choose to tell it in story. In the legal courts, testimonies are accounts of real-life events as told by people who witnessed them. A story by a third-party is not a testimony. There has to be a "taste" in every testimony.
Also, testimonies are a means of grace. I am persuaded that it is for a similar reason (if not the only reason) that the Bible is presented to us in the form of stories. Stories are powerful. The bible is not just a library of maxims, proverbs and propositions. There are numerous lessons about the nature and character and mission of God in the stories of the Bible.
Through the lives of David, Abraham, Joseph and others, we get to see God at work. Grace on the ground. Mercy in the mess of sinners' lives. I encourage you to listen to testimonies of God's work in your friends' lives. I also encourage you to share some of the testimonies you have. It doesn't have to be an intriguing, or super-dramatic story of rags to riches. It only has to be a story. A true story. A sincere story. A story about God's ability in the midst of our inability. A story about God's love in the midst of our rebellion. A story about God's grace in the midst of our wickedness.
No, testimonies do not have to be bad stories. Even good stories, stories of continual success, are testimonies of God's presence and goodness. God does not just show up in the bad times. God is always up, even in the good times.
What is your testimony? Please, share it.
In my church we also had a thanksgiving service and as people shared I could still see that God was real and Good.in the 2013,I learnt to see myself through God's eyes.after failed relationships,societies definition of beauty and what I should have achieved by age,sin after sin I had gotten to a place where I thought I was worth nothing and had even stopped going to church because I felt I was bogging others down by my presence.The devil is a liar.So when I had reached my end God reached out to me,He wiped my tears.,He reignited my hunger for Him and slowly I dug deep into His word.Went back to the basics of how God created me in His image and slowly the negativity,failures,heartbreaks have gone…God has been so good the devil had planted self-doubt/feelings of failure in me but God is good He sort me out and as 2013 ended I am a different woman with the boldness of women on the bible,I am sure of myself and I am now spreading the word of God.God is good.
Thank you for your encouraging words. Indeed, our God is good.


The Stories You Have Heard Are Worse Than the Actual Colon Prep!
Your prep is important. We work with you to make sure that your preparation is not terribly difficult and, more importantly, that it works! A perfect prep means that you have the best possible screening process.
When a patient is perfectly prepped for a procedure, the procedure can be performed as planned and the diagnosis or treatment that results from the procedure will be of the highest possible quality. A poor prep process can result in cancellation of a test/procedure, or questionable results. In either case, the test or procedure may have to be repeated, after the patient has been properly prepped.
How does one have a "perfect prep"? The best way to prepare is to partner with your physician. Your doctor's job is to give you all the information needed and your job is to read and follow directions to the letter. The staff is available to help you if you do not understand the procedures.
Lower GI preps have come a long way over the last few years and now are a much easier process than they once were. Prep solutions have dramatically improved. They are more effective and efficient and cause less discomfort. Due to their increased effectiveness, you may not have to drink as much volume of the solution to cleanse your colon.
The newer solutions work quickly and are very effective in terms of emptying and cleansing the colon and lower GI tract. They come in many different flavors. What do they taste like? They are a bit salty with whatever flavor chosen, if you decide to add flavor to your prep. How do they work? The patient drinks all of the prep solution, which involves drinking a glassful every 10-15 minutes or so. That causes the colon to empty by producing diarrhea. It works quickly and effectively.
Plan to be at home, close to a bathroom when you are drinking the prep.
Distract yourself by doing something non-challenging (like watching a movie or reading a book).
Dress comfortably, in loose-fitting clothes.
While drinking the prep solution, you may follow the clear liquid diet listed on the prep sheet.
Refrigerate the prep to get it really cold (but not frozen) before you start drinking it.
Keep a blanket handy because the prep may make you cold. Place your blanket in the dryer for 10-15 minutes to warm it up.
Breathe through your mouth or hold your nose while drinking the prep.
Lie on your left side to reduce nausea. Lying flat may make it worse.
If terribly nauseated, take a 30 min break, walk around and try to resume gradually to complete the prep.


So of course, with the forum's opening I present to you a contest/event!
This event is all about being active. The user(s) who get the most points by the end of the event will be the winner.
But don't spam because that'll get your points deducted. Follow the rules of the forum!
Have your friend PM me saying that they were referred by you to get the 5 points. But this is only if your friend stays an active member during the duration of this event period.
I've decided that the prizes will depend on how many active members we have by the end of the contest. The exact numbers I haven't quite decided yet... I'll probably decide in a few days.
So the numbers in the parenthesis (when I decide on them...) will be the number of active members there must be in the forum for that prize. For example, if it says (10 members) we must have 10 members in the forum for the 1st/2nd/3rd place winner to get that prize. If for whatever reason you want the lower prize, it's up to you of course.
The latest time this event will end is sometime next month before college starts... no exact date still.
The rank is still the same as the last time I updated above.
Ends at the end of this week!

KPMG Women's LPGA Championship: Difficult conditions take toll on Ariya Jutanugarn, Inbee Park
By Ron Sirak
SAMMAMISH, Wash. – One streak is alive; the other one not so much. Playing in cool, breezy conditions that bordered on cold and blustery, Ariya Jutanugarn lost a battle with a brutal Sahalee CC and shot 75 Friday to complete 36 holes of the KPGM Women's PGA Championship at three over par. But with pretty much everyone in full reverse on a day when pars were prized and birdies hard to find, that should be good enough to keep the 20-year-old from Thailand in contention to win her fourth consecutive LPGA start. The best score in the clubhouse was only three strokes better than hers. Inbee Park is not so lucky. Fresh off the high emotion of qualifying for the LPGA Hall of Fame on Thursday and fighting an injured left thumb, she followed her 72 with a 79 and will get some much needed healing time by missing the cut and not playing the weekend.
Jutanugarn, who elicited oohs and ahs from the large galleries by driving with a 2-iron she hit with such force the ball compressed off the clubface with a crack that echoed like a gunshot through the towering pines that surround Sahalee, smiled but was clearly in no mood to talk after she lipped out a putt on her last hole to finish with a bogey. "I must have lipped out five times," she said after she finished sending a text on a smart phone engulfed by a giant ice cream cone case. While she smiled throughout her interview, the brevity of her answers and the way she stood with arms folded across her chest told a story she wasn't putting into words. "I tried so hard to stay positive today," she said. "It was really tough conditions and it was a major." And that was that. She was off. With no one going low in very difficult scoring conditions, Jutanugarn, who made four bogeys, a double bogey and two birdies, should have a chance to make amends on Saturday and get back in the mix going to Sunday's final round. Park, however, is most likely headed home. The cut stood at five over par when she finished and while it was likely to climb in the difficult conditions it was very unlikely to make it all the way to her nine over par total.
She said her poor performance had nothing to do with the excitement of getting into the HOF, which she shared with family and close friends Thursday evening.
"I started refreshed," she said. "It just didn't happen to be my day. It was tough out there."
Then she hinted at the real reason for her high score. "I think I will have to really re-think [her schedule]," Park said when asked when she will play again. "I might need some time to really get better." That's what folks in her camp have been saying privately for a few weeks now. The question is whether she can be healthy enough to commit to playing in the Olympics when the final field is announced July 11. Meantime, her bid to win this tournament for a record fourth consecutive time is definitely over.

Q: How can I calculate cross-entropy on a sigmoid neural network binary outcome? I'm currently building a NN from scratch where we want to identify based on two input variables (X_1 and X_2) what their output will be (0 or 1). I have 2 hidden layers with sigmoid activation on all neurons however I get stuck when calculating the cross-entropy. Suppose in the output layer I have the predictions [0.50, 0.57] however the true output is 0, so [1, 0]. How do I calculate the cross-entropy over this binary output example? Does anyone have any suggestions/tips?

A: Here is a function that I wrote and use to calculate the cross-entropy given a list of predictions and a list of true labels.
from math import log
# calculate the cross-entropy of predictions and true labels
def cross_entropy(y, p):
    # y[i] is list of real labels
    # p[i] is the probability of predicting 1
    m = len(y)
    sum_vals = 0
    for i in range(m):
        # first term is for label=1, second term is for label=0
        sum_vals += float(y[i]) * log(p[i]) + (1 - float(y[i])) * log(1 - p[i])
    R = -1/m * sum_vals
    return R

Here the values in the list of labels y are each either 0 or 1, and the probabilistic predictions from the network are in the list p.


It was Monday night when we arrived in Phuket, Thailand all the way from Manila. From the airport, we took a cab heading to The Bliss South Beach Patong, our home for the next three days.
Upon arrival, I felt the warm welcome from the hotel staff. The receptionist speak English very fluently. After confirming our reservation, we were then assisted to our rooms which are located at the third floor.
The room was spacious and very clean. The toilet room is made of glass and the mirror there is so beautiful. I even had a mirror selfie! The bed is too big for me.
Imagine this: You woke up in the morning having your blanket wrapped all over your body because the AC was turned on all night long. Then, upon sliding the glass doors, you'll see the beautiful Patong Beach. The sun is rising while the waves are inviting for a morning walk on the sea shores. I have found the bliss within!
The next day, having that view, I enjoyed my coffee while listening to music. Life at its best, isn't it? The breakfast buffet starts at 6:30 until 10:30 in the morning. Honestly, I love seeing many food choices: from American, European to Asian food. Fruits are freshly served and beautifully decorated on plates.
Yes, the hotel staff are friendly although some of them doesn't speak and understand English at all. They will surely smile at you regardless of what they're doing. Awesome, right?
Overall, The Bliss never disappointed me. I will surely come back here!

A very specialized compass that makes use of local magnetic anomalies.
Early navigation relied on several natural phenomena; the fixed pole star (or stars, when the pyramids were built) and the north magnetic pole. What can you do if a planet has no stable magnetic field, or if the planet's surface is prone to storms that disrupt the field?
The glowing tab of the Fremkit manual between them on the tent floor caught her eye. She lifted it, glanced at the flyleaf, reading: "Manual of 'The Friendly Desert,' the place full of life. Here are the ayat and burhan of Life. Believe, and al-Lat shall never burn you..."
People have made practical use of the Earth's magnetic field since ancient times, but it wasn't until 1600 that William Gilberte, personal physician to Queen Elizabeth, published his astounding De Magnete. In it, he revealed his studies with a "terrella" (a magnetized sphere); he hypothesized that the Earth was itself an immense magnet.

Holland-based Ghanaian Gospel musician and movie actor Patrick Atta Adu Sarfo popularly known as Atta Patrick who is also the leader of Atta Patrick Ministries has released his third album titled 'Take Control' with a video.
The versatile musician as part of his promotion plan released a song titled for "God so loved the world" with a video which is on the "Take control" album.
According to him, the song "For God so loved the world" and its video were to give people a taste of what he promised to release this month which he has delivered.
'' Take control" is the first transformative single of his third album 'Take Control' to be released in 2019. The song is a classic danceable, prophetic and motivational song fused with Pidgin English laced with a delightful Ghanaian dialect that energizes devotees of Christ that in spite of the difficult times God will take control. Take control is also birthed from his music life experience.
"The content of my song is a message for everyone because it is a request for the Almighty God to take supreme control over everything we are doing this year".
Speaking about the response so far after a few days of release, he said that most people appreciate the effort he has made to release the 8 tracks on the album and also added that the DJs and presenters who have received the songs are playing it happily.


What's happening on the field, course, or court -- and when is it happening?
Below is a calendar of athletic events to help keep players, parents, and passionate fans up-to-day.
High school athletics are not like College or Pro sports, which operate with large staffs, large teams, and well-funded logistics.
Factors as simple as the weather or team illness, or as complicated as school schedule conflicts, can cause schedule changes.
The athletic director and coaches will try to distribute information of any changes to the LPA community by the best means possible.
Please always confirm times, dates, and locations before heading to an athletic event.
