I know that I've been away for quite some time and I'm sorry for the radio silence. Work has been quite a bit more taxing than usual but I am back! And I have something super exciting for you: a review of Tarte Cosmetics's mascara, Tarteist Lash Paint!
Before we talk about that, I had planned maybe a week ago to do a post on Hard Candy's Stick It To Pores Primer Stick. I featured it on my Instagram along with Hard Candy's Sheer Envy Banana Powder.
I won't spend too long on the primer because unfortunately, it's been discontinued, at least as far as I can tell. It's no longer available on their website or on Wal-Mart.com. Total bummer, because this primer is amazing!
The packaging is so cute! It totally makes me think of Too Faced for some reason. The retro color along with the scripty font give it a high end look. The box it comes in cuts a sleek profile and I love the design.
The smell is nice, at least to me. It doesn't smell fruity or floral-y or anything like that. It smells very clean, like a mild soap and I like it. It smells like it's really good for my skin.
The formula feels like a very thick chapstick. It actually looks like a chapstick as well, or possibly a cheek chubby. It goes on smooth, like a full coverage balm. It definitely feels like another layer but not thick or greasy-just the right amount of protection.
The wear is amazing. I'm going to be honest with you guys-ya girl has oily skin! My face looks like a gigantic grease grenade by the end of the day whenever I wear full makeup. I watched a video recently on how to create a smoother finish for foundation and the number one tip was to wear a good primer. I used a damp beauty blender to apply my regular foundation over this primer, set my t-zone with a powder and voila-by the end of the day, my skin still looked flawless. I have to say, I was amazed!
I wish Hard Candy would bring this back! I know that they have the Coconut Water Primer Stick still on the shelves but it's supposed to be extra moisturizing with a cooling sensation. My skin is far from dry, so I'll pass.
Update: This is back on the shelves at WalMart! Please believe, I picked up a few!
One thing that is still on the shelves is Tarte's Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara. It claims to give lashes a 2700% volume boost by way of "triple-black mineral ingredients". Hm.
Now, I normally would never give a second thought to a mascara that costs more than $10. Ironically, Ulta recently had a holiday sale featuring full sized Tarte mascara's for-you guessed it-$10. I saw some amazing video reviews for both the Tarteist and Maneater mascara's and the results are supposed to be incredible.
I didn't actually find about the sale until a couple hours before it was over and I didn't have a babysitter! However, when beauty calls, duty calls, so I packed up both of my toddlers and drove to Ulta, getting there 15 minutes before they closed. I was pretty proud of myself and so psyched to be getting such a great deal!
So, I s̶t̶r̶u̶g̶g̶l̶e̶d̶ strolled over to the Tarte display...to find that they were sold. The freak. Out. Not just Tarteist, every single Tarte mascara.
Y'all. I was devastated. Ya girl was so salty. But a few days later I managed to scrounge up a trial size for $12. Not the best price but by this point I was dying to try it! Try it I did-and now I will give you guys a real deal, honest review.
I have to admit the first time I used it, I was in for even more disappointment. My lashes didn't look anything like the videos (anyways, when does that ever happen?). I made up my mind to return it but I ended up forgetting my go-to mascara before work one day and the only one in my purse was this one, so I tried it again.
Okay so first of all, wow. Maybe not 2700% wow but definitely wow! The thing that really makes a difference is how you apply it. I'm sure you all know the wiggle trick but this mascara needs a much lighter hand when employing it. After two coats of very light touches, I promise you, I looked like I was wearing false lashes. I put it on at 8:30 in the morning and after 10 hours of wear, there wasn't a single smudge.
Also, and this is what I love most about it, it's not waterproof. This might sound like a con but waterproof mascaras are so hard to get off at the end of the day. This one lasts when I want to wear it and comes off when I don't.
What do you guys think? Based on my review, would you pay for the full sized product? Do you know any mascaras that work just as well?
I hope you liked this post! I'm hoping to do a lot more reviews of new products soon and I might possibly smell a giveaway. Til next time, babes!

Nominations open for Index on Censorship Freedom of Expression Awards 2015
The awards shine a spotlight on individuals fighting to speak out in the most dangerous and difficult of conditions.
As Idrak Abbasov, 2012 award winner, said: "In Azerbaijan, telling the truth can cost a journalist their life... For the sake of this right we accept that our lives are in danger, as are the lives of our families. But the goal is worth it, since the right to truth is worth more than a life without truth." Pakistani internet rights campaigner Shahzad Ahmad, a 2014 award winner, said the awards "illustrate to our government and our fellow citizens that the world is watching".
Index invites the public, NGOs, and media organisations to nominate anyone they believe deserves to be part of this impressive peer group: a hall of fame of those who are at the forefront of tackling censorship. There are four categories of award: Campaigner (sponsored by Doughty Street Chambers); Digital Activism (sponsored by Google); Journalism (sponsored by The Guardian), and the Arts. Nominations can be made online via http://www.indexoncensorship.org/nominations
Winners will be flown to London for the ceremony, which takes place at The Barbican on March 18 2015. In addition, to mark the 15th anniversary of the Freedom of Expression awards, Index is inaugurating an Awards Fellowship to extend the benefits of the award. The fellowship will be open to all winners and will offer training and support to amplify their work for free expression. Fellows will become part of a world- class network of campaigners, activists and artists sharing best practice on tackling censorship threats internationally.
Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of Index, said: "The Index Freedom of Expression Awards is a chance for those whom others try to silence to have their voices heard. I encourage everyone, no matter where they are in the world, to nominate a free expression hero."
The 2015 awards shortlist will be announced in January. Judges include journalist Mariane Pearl and human rights lawyer Sir Keir Starmer. The public will be asked to participate in selecting the winner of the Google Digital Activism award through a public vote beginning in January 2015. Sir Keir said: "Freedom of expression is part of the bedrock of civilised, democratic society. The Index on Censorship Awards have a material influence on promoting such freedom and both celebrating and protecting those who fight against censorship worldwide. That's why Doughty Street Chambers chooses Index as its principal charity."
For more information please contact David Heinemann: davidh@indexoncensorship.org
Index on Censorship is an international organisation that promotes and defends the right to freedom of expression. The inspiration of poet Stephen Spender, Index was founded in 1972 to publish the untold stories of dissidents behind the Iron Curtain and beyond. Today, we fight for free speech around the world, challenging censorship whenever and wherever it occurs. Index believes that free expression is the foundation of a free society and endorses Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression."

Meditation is an easy-to-apply method that almost instantly provides you with peace of mind and mental balance. Apart from improving your mental wellbeing, it also boosts your physical health and the functioning of your immune system. Regular meditation leads to greater clarity and ability to concentrate, less fatigue and more stress resistance. It increases your creativity and productivity and gives you more energy to deal with whatever happens in your life.
The time that meditation is associated with just eastern religion and culture has passed by now. Also in our society meditation has proved itself as an effective, secular and concrete form of training of the mind and there is large and growing amount of scientific research that shows the positive effects of meditation. Read more about it at the page Science.
Meditation has proven its effectiveness for over tens of centuries in different forms and in almost every culture worldwide. Nowadays meditation also is being used in the highest levels of the business world, elite military units and top athletes as part of their training. From Steve Jobs to Richard Branson and from Kobe Bryant to Novak Djokovic, they all discovered that meditation is a powerful tool to achieve optimal performance under pressure and prevent mental overload. Considering the challenges we have to face nowadays, meditation fits maybe more than ever to this day and age!
My goal is to make these techniques understandable, accessible, practically applicable and over all effective and useful for the modern western person and the contemporary business world.
I experienced Roel's meditation training as very enjoyable. With his clear explanations he knows how to get you to deeper understanding of the matter and it gave me more tranquility, focus and awareness. Now I can get this every moment of the day I feel I need it by simply applying the methods. I recommend his trainings!
Roel's meditation training I experienced as clear, concrete and fully adjusted to the modern times. The practical techniques I received are easy to fit in to the busy life of an entrepreneur. Because you start to function more effectively and need less sleep, I noticed that in the end meditation even gave me more time and energy. I am convinced!
A workshop with Roel is not just learning about meditation, he gives you the tools to practically implementing what you learn in your life. After my first workshop my life looked different than before and it still looks different now. He has a unique way of teaching and explaining, very clear, easy to grab and approachable for the most different kind of people.
Roel is an amazing teacher, with a huge knowledge about meditation practice and always welcomes you with a smile. After meditation, we always talk about our own practice, where Roel helps giving some constructive input about it. His classes helped me a lot to understand my own mind and improve self-awareness. His trainings are totally recommendable.
Roel his meditation lessons gave me a new chance to feel mentally well again. After a rough year I lost all my flow and had a little to no self-esteem anymore. Roel gave that back to me and helped me to find peace of mind again. The lessons were very relaxed (as you might hope for haha) and I felt very at ease. In no time I felt better about myself and I know that I can benefit from what I learned for my whole life whenever I need it. Thanks Roel!
All Roel's meditation activities I attended were a very pleasurable mix between background information and practical exercises. I meditate daily for 20 minutes now. I recommend it!
Businesses like Google, Apple, Sony and Twitter already offer their employees meditation at work for many years and with great results.

How does meditation fit in these times and society?
Meditation leads to inner peace and balance and freedom of mind. Therefore it was originally used in almost every culture and age to come to personal development. Although the things we have to face change over time, the essence of our mind and how it functions didn't really change over the centuries. That's why meditation still is a more than effective method to reach personal growth.
In this day and age stress, burn-outs and ADHD are more common than ever and to avoid them is currently one of the biggest challenges of our society. Since 2014 stress is occupational disease number one' (Source: Rijksoverheid) and are mental problems responsible for more inability to work than physical problems in the Netherlands (Source: CBS). A tendency that is increasing. Also outside of work series, films, television, games and mainly social media bring a lot of stimuli to the mind. There are no methods known to me that are more effective and accessible than meditation to retreat yourself from the 'bombardment of stimuli' every now and then. Therefore meditation is not a luxury if you want to be able to withstand the challenges in our modern society.
Do you want to experience yourself what meditation can do for you?
Listen here to a guided meditation and a preview of my trainings.
And directly take a mini holiday in your day!

County Council recognizes Police Week, remembers Fallen Law Enforcement Officers
4,000 men and women are in law enforcement in King County serving 39 cities, three Tribal Governments, the University of Washington, and nearly 250,000 residents living in unincorporated communities. Since King County Deputy Wesley Cherry's death in 1853, 95 county-based officers have made the ultimate sacrifice, with 16 of those officers working in the King County Sheriff's Office.
King County Sheriff John Urquhart joins members of the County
Council after Councilmembers declared May 15-21
as Police Week in King County
Since 1962, the week surrounding National Peace Officers Memorial Day has been recognized around the country as National Police Week. Joining other municipalities around the country, The Metropolitan King County Council is recognizing May 15-21 in honor of law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting others in the line of duty.
"I am reminded every year, when we recognize our first responders, of the ultimate sacrifice that some have made to protect us all," said Councilmember Kathy Lambert, sponsor of the recognition. "Every officers' commitment and dedication on a daily basis does so much for our safety and quality of life. I am grateful for their service and I know that the citizens of King County are also."
There are approximately 900,000 law enforcement officers currently in the U.S. Since the first recorded death in 1791, over 20,000 law enforcement officers—representing cities, counties, states, and federal agencies in the United States—have died in the line of duty.
"This week we remember the sacrifices of those in law enforcement who have fallen in the line of duty while working for the safety of others," said Council Vice Chair Reagan Dunn. "It is a privilege and an honor to be a part of recognizing their service."
4,000 men and women are in law enforcement in King County serving 39 cities, three Tribal Governments, the University of Washington, and nearly 250,000 residents living in unincorporated communities. Since King County Deputy Wesley Cherry's death in 1853, 95 county-based officers have made the ultimate sacrifice, with 16 of those officers working in the King County Sheriff's Office. In addition, King County Sheriff's K-9 Officer Jimmy, who died last April, has also been recognized.
"For one week every year our nation recognizes those police officers that have made the ultimate sacrifice," said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. "It is my pleasure to join the King County Council in honoring the memory of those who have given their life in the line of duty. We will never forget."
Each year, Washington State adds names of officers who lost their lives in the line of duty to the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial in Olympia. The name of three officers were added to the memorial on May 6, 2016:
•	Officer Rick Silva, Chehalis Police Department, who passed away on July 18, 2015,
•	Trooper Brent Hanger, Washington State Patrol, who passed away August 6, 2015,
•	and Deputy James Bennett of the Chelan County Sheriff's Office, who passed away July 14, 1911.
WHEREAS, since 1962, May 15 has been recognized as National Peace Officers Memorial day in recognition of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while protecting others in the line of duty; and
WHEREAS, the week in which National Peace Officers Memorial day falls is named National Police Week, which is May 15-21 this year; and
WHEREAS, approximately 900,000 law enforcement officers serve in communities across the nation, and so far this year, 36 brave officers have fallen in the line of duty; and
WHEREAS, over 4,000 members of law enforcement serve in King County, including the King County Sheriff's Office; and
WHEREAS, since the first recorded law enforcement death in King County of Deputy Wesley Cherry in 1853, 95 county-based officers have made the ultimate sacrifice, with 16 of these being members of the King County Sheriff's Office, and K-9 Officer Jimmy of the Sheriff's Office, who died last April; and
WHEREAS, the names of these dedicated local public servants are engraved on the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial in Olympia, as well as on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C; and
WHEREAS, 252 fallen heroes are being added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., this year, 123 of whom passed away in 2015; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2016, the names of Officer Rick Silva, Chehalis Police Department, who passed away on July 18, 2015, Trooper Brent Hanger, Washington State Patrol, who passed away August 6, 2015, and Deputy James Bennett of the Chelan County Sheriff's Office, who passed away July 14, 1911, were added to the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial;
NOW, THEREFORE, we, the Metropolitan King County Council, proclaim May 15- 21, 2016, as
in King County and salute the service of law enforcement officers in our community and across the nation.
DATED this sixteenth day of May, 2016.

Q: How can I filter Fact with a Dimension? I use SSAS and SQL Server 2008 R2
I write this query and it works:
SELECT
 [Measures].[Circulation Count]
    ON COLUMNS
FROM [Store]
where [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code].&[1]

And result is : 362154.2154
But when I use Filter function my result is empty.
SELECT
Filter(
    [Measures].[Circulation Count]
         ,
    [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code]
    =
    [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code].&[1]
)
    ON COLUMNS
FROM [Store]

How can I filter my result with the Filter function?

A: What your Filter expression does is:

*

*Starting with the one element set consisting of the measure [Measures].[Circulation Count].

*Then, from this set keep (= filter) the elements (= measures) where the value of [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code] is the same as the value of [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code].&[1]. Comparing an attribute and a member triggers an implicit type cast to make both the same type, in this case the attribute is converted to a member by implicitly applying the DefaultMember method. This means you compare the value of the default member (usually the All member) with the value of the member having key 1. And, assuming there are more than one members in this attribute, this is probably always false.

Note that = compares the values on both sides, in this case, as the context sets the measure to Circulation Count, the value of Circulation Count. If you want to compare for member identity, you would have to use IS instead of =.
WHat does this mean for your statement? I am not sure why you do not want to use the WHERE clause, but as @mmarie stated, you could just move the [Circulation Code] from the WHERE axis to the rows axis:
SELECT
 [Measures].[Circulation Count]
    ON COLUMNS,
 [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code].&[1]
    ON ROWS
FROM [Store]

And if you really, really want to use Filter, you could use:
SELECT
 [Measures].[Circulation Count]
    ON COLUMNS,
 Filter([Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code].Members as c,
        c.Current IS [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code].&[1]
       )
    ON ROWS
FROM [Store]

Note the usage of .Members to explicitly convert the attribute to the set of its members, and the usage of IS, not =, in the last statement.

A: After communication with @FrankPI i fond that is good :
With
    Member X As
       (
          [Measures].[Circulation Count] ,
          (
              [Circulation Kind].[Circulation Code].&[1]
          )
       )

Select
    X On Columns
From <>

And in this method i can filter my measure with a dimension.

How Easy Is It To Get Painkillers?
Kelly Bourdet
Photo: Courtesy Of Pachd.
One of the most commonly used prescription painkillers in America might be way too easy to obtain, according to a new recommendation made yesterday by the F.D.A. This represents a major policy shift and will hopefully help protect men and women from addiction.
The New York Times reports that 75% of all drug-overdose deaths in this country are caused by prescription drugs and that the rates of death from accidental narcotic ODs have quadrupled — yes, quadrupled — since 1999.
The painkillers at the core of the debate are those containing a combination of the narcotic hydrocodone and an OTC painkiller like acetaminophen or aspirin. Since these drugs are typically considered less dangerous than the heavy pain-hitters like OxyContin, they are less strictly regulated. For example, right now, you can refill your prescription five times over a six-month period without returning to see your doctor. The F.D.A. recommends halving that, and requiring a limit to new prescription for every 90 days.
More tightly controlled substances require a new prescription each time you get a refill. It's easy to see how have access to all those refills might tempt those who have addictive tendencies. Or, addicts can be drawn to these specific drugs because they know they're less strictly regulated.
Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure: Painkiller addiction is a serious — and growing — problem in the U.S. And, whatever regulators can do to cut down on the cost of this disease is a step in the right direction. (The New York Times)

Back when opiates were legal
Yglesias was talking about Michael Gerson being a obnoxious moral scold the other day and how he seems to be saying that alcohol should be (re)banned. He's right, Gerson is a clown. But his post contained this introduction:
I suppose you could talk me out of this view, but it seems to me that the costs of full heroin legalization would far exceed the benefits. There's a lot wrong with America's current drug policies, but it's also good that we don't have heroin ads on Saturday morning cartoons, there's no Heroin Lobby on the Hill, and you can't buy heroin at the 7-11. That all seems pretty clear cut to me.
It's worth going back to look at 19th century America, when basically all opiates were legal. This is from the Consumer's Union Report on Licit and Illicit Drugs, for my money still the best single overview of the drug issue:
The United States of America during the nineteenth century could quite properly be described as a "dope fiend's paradise."
Opium was on legal sale conveniently and at low prices throughout the century; morphine came into common use during and after the Civil War; and heroin was marketed toward the end of the century. These opiates and countless pharmaceutical preparations containing them "were as freely accessible as aspirin is today."1 They flowed mostly through five broad channels of distribution, all of them quite legal:
1) Physicians dispensed opiates directly to patients, or wrote prescriptions for them.
(2) Drugstores sold opiates over the counter to customers without a prescription.
(3) Grocery and general stores as well as pharmacies stocked and sold opiates. An 1883--1885 survey of the state of Iowa, which then had a population of less than 2,000,000, found 3,000 stores in the state where opiates were on sale-and this did not include the physicians who dispensed opiates directly.2
(4) For users unable or unwilling to patronize a nearby store, opiates could be ordered by mail.
(5) Finally, there were countless patent medicines on the market containing opium or morphine. They were sold under such names as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, Darby's Carminative, Godfrey's Cordial, McMunn's Elixir of Opium, Dover's Powder,3 and so on. Some were teething syrups for young children, some were "soothing syrups," some were recommended for diarrhea and dysentery or for "women's trouble." They were widely advertised in newspapers and magazines and on billboards as "pain-killers," "cough mixtures," "women's friends, "consumption cures," and so on.4 One wholesale drug house, it is said, distributed more than 600 proprietary medicines and other products containing opiates.5 [...]
Opiate use was also frowned upon in some circles as immoral-a vice akin to dancing, smoking, theater-going, gambling, or sexual promiscuity. But while deemed immoral, it is important to note that opiate use in the nineteenth century was not subject to the moral sanctions current today. Employees were not fired for addiction. Wives did not divorce their addicted husbands, or husbands their addicted wives. Children were not taken from their homes and lodged in foster homes or institutions because one or both parents were addicted. Addicts continued to participate fully in the life of the community. Addicted children and young people continued to go to school, Sunday School, and college. Thus, the nineteenth century avoided one of the most disastrous effects of current narcotics laws and attitudes-the rise of a deviant addict subculture, cut off from respectable society and without a "road back" to respectability.
I think Yglesias is probably right that immediately legalizing all drugs tomorrow would lead to a great deal of social turmoil. But I think this is largely an function of our social conception of "hard" drugs as extremely dangerous, horribly addictive, and associated with criminals and deviants. Back in the 19th century, society had acceptable mainstream slots for opiate users to occupy, so having physicians that would literally give straight morphine to anyone that asked did not cause huge problems. The Lancet says that alcohol is the most dangerous drug in the world, bar none, yet our society manages to deal with it reasonably well because it's part of mainstream culture.
Alcohol is so deeply ensconced in mainstream culture because most of humanity grew up with it, but that's mostly an accident of history and biochemistry. It's easy to imagine a culture growing up with rampant opiate use (in fact, there have been some), and such a culture would have a much easier time dealing with opiates.
A few more points: first, if all opiates were legal, no one would use heroin. That's because heroin is a prodrug that is immediately metabolized to morphine in the brain—meaning it has exactly the same effect as morphine for about 1/3 of the weight, making it ideal for drug smugglers. Morphine is cheap enough to produce, though, that without the market-distorting incentives of the black market it wouldn't be worth the price of chemical conversion. Second, aside from the addiction, morphine has some of the fewest side effects of any common drug. About the only consistent one is constipation.

The Life Course of a Top…
(In Finnish: Huippu-urheilijan elämänkulku. Tutkimus urheilijoista 2000-luvun Suomessa)
Mikko Salasuo, Mikko Piispa and Helena Huhta
The study focuses on how a group of young Finns have grown to become successful top athletes. The research data consists of the interviews of 96 sportsmen and women. Of them, 78 are top athletes and 18 have abandoned their sport on the verge of reaching the top (drop-outs). The interviewees represent a total of 45 disciplines, at the time of the interview at various stages of their sporting careers, which allows the study to open up an extensive view of the current state of Finnish top-level sport. The interviewees are grouped according to their sport discipline into team, traditional individual, and lifestyle sport athletes. An additional perspective is introduced by the fact that 20 of the interviewees come from multicultural backgrounds.
The primary research tool is life course analysis. This permits the identification of common factors in the athletes' life courses that have helped them to reach the top, or that have been obstacles on the way. In addition to the analysis, the study draws on extensive international research findings, particularly in the field of athletes' career research. Life course analysis reveals the importance of social networks to achievement. The family is prominent as the athlete's most important breeding ground. At least one of the parents of more than one in every two interviewees are themselves former competing or top athletes. The role of siblings, especially elder sisters and brothers, has also been significant. In families with a sporting orientation, values and examples favourable to sport have been passed on, and physical activity has been incorporated as an important part of child-rearing practices.
Through life course analysis, athletes' growth narratives are linked to the social situation of the period and its structures. This reveals the kind of framework provided to athletes by Finnish society, which has undergone extensive changes in the recent decades. Urbanization and the increased importance of organized exercise as a hobby are particularly in evidence in the kind of Finland in which the interviewees grew up. These development paths are reflected especially in the degree of difference in terms of physical activity between the oldest and youngest interviewees' growth environments, and around them, also the organizational structures of physical activities and sports.
The significance of the organization of physical activity and sport is also shown by the kinds of choices young athletes have made and the way in which their activities as athletes have evolved. Crucial factors are the timings and content of the phases in the athlete's growth and the transition periods between them. Analysis of the interviews shows that top athletes have been involved in several different sporting activities in their childhood and youth, and most have not needed to select their main discipline too early. This way, the fun has also been retained in the pastimes of youth, and the development into an athlete has taken place at a natural pace. Attention is also drawn to the differences in the pace of growth processes – some develop earlier, others only at a later age. Moreover, it is possible to identify a turning point in the life courses of all top athletes, when awareness of the possibilities of reaching the elite level has crystallized. This moment of insight – a tipping point – is often located in the mid-teens and linked to the first significant sporting successes. At the same time, it reinforces the sporting identity and is set to define the athlete's agency and future choices.
The interviews of drop-out athletes provide an important point of comparison for top athletes' life courses. Concentration on a single discipline and too early timing of a sporting hobby turning serious are linked to dropping out. A further important factor appears to be the psychological dimension: top level sportsmanship demands such strong commitment that if the young person is unable or unwilling to make it, the pursuit of the highest pinnacle and a sporting career fall by the wayside.
Analysis of the growth narratives of multicultural athletes furthers the knowledge of a subject that has received scant research attention, but is part of the daily life of top-level sport also in Finland. The factors behind multicultural athletes' development are largely the same as those of indigenous Finns, such as the great importance of the family. Nevertheless, multiculturalism also introduces differences. For many young people, networks outside the family have been particularly valuable, when the parents' cultural and financial resources to support their child have been limited. Racism has also been present along the careers of many interviewees. However, they also felt that they had benefited from their multicultural background.
The top-level phase of sport appears very different depending on the discipline and gender. In certain disciplines, such as men's team sports, sportsmen can achieve very large incomes, at least at the global elite level. Athletes in the traditional individual disciplines, on the other hand, are often dependent on various grants or bursaries. Particularly the publicly funded sports subsidies emerge as an important factor. Grants also even out the inequality between the sexes. Most athletes in the lifestyle sports do not earn their living from sport, but it becomes otherwise an integral part of their life and identity.
The research provides a multitude of perspectives on physical activity in Finland, sport and top-level sport, as well as their development. These form the basis of the ten recommendations put forward in the final chapter. The main conclusion is that a policy aiming to promote extensive and equal opportunities for citizens' physical activity and top-level sporting success are not at odds with each other, but on the contrary, they are mutually supportive. The higher the number of children and young people who engage in physical activity, the wider is the reserve of top-level sport. Conversely, the greater their enjoyment and scope of exercise, the more certainly the most promising of them will continue all the way to the top. However, the structures of top-level sport must be educationally ethical and sustainable, and the development work must be grounded on research.

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder of the bone in which abnormal, fibrous tissue (tumor) develops in the place of bone. The disease may occur in one of three categories, depending on how many bones are affected, and if there are other symptoms: monostitic, polyostotic, or the McCune-Albright syndrome. In patients with monostotic disease, there is only one area of bony involvement. Around 70% of patients have monostotic disease. In 20-30% of patients, the disease is polyostitic, meaning multiple bony sites are involved. Approximately 3% affected patients have the McCune-Albright syndrome. Patients with the McCune-Albright syndrome have the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, precocious puberty (early puberty), and areas of abnormal skin pigmentation called café-au-lait spots.
What causes fibrous dysplasia?
Fibrous dysplasia is caused by a mutation in a gene coding for a protein called G-protein. This type of protein functions to transmit signals, from hormones, through cells, to create specific productivity by the cell. The mutation in fibrous dysplasia causes the signaling pathway to remain in an activated state. The net effect, as in which body parts body parts are affected, depends on whether the disease in monostitic, polyostotic, or the McCune-Albright syndrome.
It is thought that fibrous dysplasia is the result of a mutation that occurs some time in embryogenesis. The disease is not known to be heritable; parents have not been known to pass the disease on to children. It is thought that when, in embryogenesis, the disease occurs results in the manifestation. In other words, when the mutation occurs later in embryologic development, only one part of the skeleton is affected. A mutation which occurs earlier in development, in which each mutation may affect more body parts, may lead to polyostotic disease or the McCune-Albright syndrome.
What is affected in fibrous dysplasia?
Fibrous dysplasia may involve nearly any part of the skeleton. In the extremities, the lesions may present as pain from pathologic fractures, or fractures in the areas of abnormal bone weakened by the disease. In the craniofacial region, which is involved in 25% of patients with monostotic fibrous and 50% of patients with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, the disease typically presents as a painless bony mass, or may be found incidentally after CT scanning for another reason. The effects of the abnormal bone growth depend on where in the facial skeleton the growth occurs. In the maxilla (upper jaw) or mandible (lower jaw,) growth may affect occlusion, or the way teeth fit together when biting. Patients with sphenoid (a bone at the base of the skull) may be at risk for blindness if the lesion compresses the optic nerve. Lesions in the orbit (eye socket) may lead to proptosis (bulging of the eye), orbital dystopia (asymmetry in the location of the eye socket on the face), double vision, or other visual disturbances. Rarely, particularly in polyostotic disease or the McCune-Albright syndrome, the bony lesions can undergo malignant degeneration, or become cancerous.
How is fibrous dysplasia diagnosed?
Diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia is typically made based on patient history, physical examination, laboratory examinations, and imaging. The lesions have a typical appearance on CT scans and x-rays. Occasionally, particularly when the lesions involve the craniofacial skeleton, biopsy is warranted to confirm the diagnosis.
How is fibrous dysplasia treated?
The treatment of fibrous dysplasia depends on the locations of the lesions, and whether they are symptomatic. Patients with the McCune-Albright syndrome are referred to an endocrinologist for management of endocrine abnormalities. In the extremities, treatment by an orthopedic surgeon may be warranted in the event of pain or pathologic fracture. This may include curettage (scraping out the diseased bone), bone grafting, and/or fixation with plates and screws. Medications called bisphosphonates have been found to decrease pain in patients with fibrous dysplasia.
In the craniofacial skeleton, surgery is indicated in lesions that become symptomatic, altering the facial form or function. In many cases, the bone lesions can be observed over time, often with serial imaging in the form of CT scans. If they do cause noticeable deformity, options for treatment include recontouring the area of diseased bone by using a burr, or resection of the diseased area and replacement with bone grafts of free flaps. The decision over which procedure is appropriate depends on the location of the lesion and how aggressively it is growing. Recontouring is a less invasive procedure, but there is a risk of the deformity recurring.

Q: My elder son who is 6 years of age weighs 16 kgs. His height is 110 cms. The problem lies with his appetite. His school begins at 8.30 am and he comes back around 1.00 pm. In the mornings he refuses to eat. If I give him 2 slices of bread, 1 boiled egg and 200 ml of milk, he throws up. This is happening quite frequently. Even during lunch and dinner he is not interested in eating. He takes nearly 1 hour to finish his lunch/dinner. Even if we go out to eat, he will show lots of enthusiasm but when it comes to eating he will just have a few mouthful. He does not feel hungry. He does not sleep much. His total input of sleep is 2 hrs at the most in the afternoon and 7 hrs in the night. I feel that due to the lack of sleep and food; his behaviour to others is getting affected. Even my behaviour is becoming harsh with him because of all this. Kindly advise what course of action I should take.If possible let me know the food diet plan which I can enforce.
A:Your son's growth is adequate. Many children are poor eaters. They may eat some foods better, but even then have small appetites. As long as you force feed him, he will never learn to enjoy food. As long as he is gaining at least 1 kg weight every year and is active, do not force feed. Instead encourage and present a variety of foods and try to get him to eat with you at the dining table. Appetite builds up slowly and develops by about 8-9 years of age- so do not worry. From your description, he sleeps enough.


Yeah, it looks like it is turned right down. Usually their rigs move a lot more.
I am still playing around with mine. I am going to try some stronger springs.
I tried this belt tensionning system on professionnal 2DOF sim: it's very immersive!
I get enough hate on my YouTube videos for wearing race boots and gloves.
Haha, I fully intend on wearing my race shoes if/when I get my sim done. I'm just too clumsy in reg shoes otherwise while trying to work the pedals. Either that or no shoes.
heel-toe shifting isn't at all comfortable in socks in my experience. Shoes are somewhat required.
I have size 13-14 US footsies, so socks for me as I am not going to splurge on racing shoes.
I manage to heel toe and reach for da shifter.
The DSD pedals I use have really rough grip tape on them and they just rip socks apart.
So boots are pretty much required.
Very much so but they do feel fantastic to use. You never have to worry about your feet slipping off the pedals.
He seems to have Heave and Traction Loss only enabled the others are really low. Maybe it is how he likes it?
I am guessing that the G seat is contributing to the others. It is early days and I imagine it would take a bit to find the sweet spot for both the G seat and SimTools.
No, I use Sway, Surge, Heave, Roll and Pitch.
I just finished my first race with my belts and OMG was it fun. I was pretty sore by the end of it. Formula 3 at Cascavel in Game Stock Car. So much fun.
And the GS-4 is working so well with the seat mover.
I am just waiting on one last thing then I will do a video.
So after a bit of use I have found that the JRK's can't quite handle to current needed to drive these motors hard. I mean they run fine if I limit the duty cycle down but even then in some more extreme corners I can hear the JRK's tripping out.
When we did some testing we found that the motors were peaking at over 70 amps each.
I was thinking of using the 2X60A (2x120A peak) one that way I have no problems with overloading them.
What do you guys think? Could I get it to work like the JRK's or am I just better off limiting the JRK's and living with what I have?
I do not believe the software has been written for the RoboClaw to interface with simtools.
@bsft Here are the screenshots. Both controllers are set the same.
These is the config that I get working the best. It can handle 400 duty cycles for a short while but if it is too bumpy like off track, or Carousal at Nords or sometimes but not often turn one and two at Cascavel then the JRK's will trip out.
I think if I limit it down to 350 then it runs fine but I start clipping a bit too much.
If I watch what happens when I get the motor driver error, on the Duty cycle graph the duty cycles will go up to 400 but then jam and stay at 400 and the JRK will start switching the motors on and off quickly until they recover and the duty cycles will drop back down.
What I hear and feel when this happens is the motor will stop moving and I will hear a clicking as the JRK switches the motors on and off.
If I watch it on a oscilloscope then I will see the motors peak at 70A+ then the JRK killing power to the motors then switching the power back on then the motors jump straight back up to 70A overloading the JRK's again and the cycle repeats. If I hit my kill switch and wait a second then the problem goes away, and usually the JRK's will recover by themselves after about half a second.
This error occurs when one of the motor driver's fault conditions are triggered, and the motor driver shuts down the motor and reports the error to the jrk's microcontroller. This error also occurs when the jrk is connected to USB and motor power becomes disconnected. When this error occurs, the jrk will try to automatically recover from it by toggling the appropriate lines on the motor driver. The jrk 21v3's motor driver fault occurs on under-voltage, over-temperature, or over-current conditions. The jrk 12v12's motor driver fault occurs when it detects that motor output A is shorted to ground or VIN.
I think the current is too high so that JRK's are detecting it as a short.
ok I can see problems with your feedback as a start.
Did you manually type in numbers?
Set the pot up on a bracket on the motor gear box, so the pot reads directly off the motor shaft.
with setting the feedback, once I fitted a lever, I unscrewed the gearbox from the motor and turned it but hand to the most level position I could. Then I screwed it back on.
Setting feedback, with the pot connected with its shaft to the gearbox, I opened the utility program, went to feedback tab, click "reset to full range" , clicked apply, the I unscrewed the nut holding the shaft and using a permanent marker texta, I rotated the pot body around and I looked in the graph, (top right hand corner) , in fact I double clicked it to make it bigger. I turned the pot till it started to show a reading of the line. Once I found the 50% mark, I put a mark of texta on the motor housing and a mark on the pot body so I knew where the centre was, from that point I turned it slowly one way till I found the near 80% mark, put a texta line, then turned it the other way till I found the 20% mark in the graph, marked it again with a texta. Then I moved the pot back to the centre.
Now I know where I need to set my max min.
With the pot shaft still loose and no 12v power, I clicked the "learn" button and slowly rotated the pot body one way till I got to my first texta mark, click "ok" as that was my "max" settings, then rotated the pot body the other way till I got to my minimum mark, clicked "ok" , then apply settings.
Then I rotated the pot body back to my centre spot and tightened the nut holding the shaft body.
I then went to the MOTOR tab and set in max accell 100, max duty 100, max duty while feedback out of range 100, current calibration 130. This makes the motor move slowly so once you test, you dont risk breaking anything because you have a chance to stop the motor.
Then I applied 12v power and went to the INPUT tab of utility and ticked the box "automatically set target", clicked run motor, and I moved the slider to see if the motor moves up and down from centre.
If it does something like spin right around and stop, try changing motor direction and or feedback direction in the appropriate tabs in utility program.
To get the actual centre position more spot on, I wrote the current feedback numbers on paper, then I manually change the feedback numbers up or down 50 at a time , applied settings, moved motor in input tab slider, and did this several times till I got it about spot on.
The max current can be set to 0, unlimited as sometimes with a setting like you have, it can trip the JRK out.
Also with your motors what is the rated current and or wattage on them?
"To get the actual centre position more spot on, I wrote the current feedback numbers on paper, then I manually change the feedback numbers up or down 50 at a time , applied settings, moved motor in input tab slider, and did this several times till I got it about spot on."
So when I tested it the bottom was low and the top was a tad low also. So I did as you said and manually changed the numbers up and down until the bottom, center and top of the movement was exactly where I wanted them. And then it worked out that 1600/2500 was the setting that got all my positions in the right spot.
I still have the piece of paper with all my original feedback settings and the measurements of the arms etc.
The motor is rated at 160W which would be 13A and the sticker on the motor says 7A but they draw 70A+ when in use.
The problem still happened when I didn't limit the current. Limiting the current does help a bit.
I will try your other settings tonight.

If you created two core entries in the Kamen Rider franchise and had the opportunity to bring them together in one crossover special, of course you'd take that chance. Following on from Yuya Takahashi colliding the worlds of Zero-One and Ex-Aid in Kamen Rider Genms -The Presidents-, Kamen Rider Saber head writer Takuro Fukuda now brings his works together in Kamen Rider Saber x Ghost. Released through the Toei Tokusatsu Fanclub, this (for now at the very least) one episode special also celebrates the fifth anniversary of Kamen Rider Ghost - with Shun Nishime returning to the role of Takeru Tenkuji for the first time since his guest appearance in 2018's Kamen Rider Zi-O.
After Kanon is kidnapped by the remnants of Danton's followers, she is sent out into the world to find her brother. This catches the attention of Desast, who takes a particular interest in Kanon. As Takeru frantically searches for Kanon, at the same time Touma attempts to save her from the evil Megid's clutches.
As Desast and Danton's followers eventually joining forces, the two Kamen Riders unite their strength - with Takeru also presenting Touma with a Wonder Ride Book his temple has held for generations.
If there's anything to take away from Kamen Rider Saber x Ghost it's that a simple plot isn't necessarily a bad thing, and in fact can work out very well when it's been planned out properly. Whereas Genms -The Presidents- failed to adequately utilise the crossover portion of its story and Kamen Rider Saber: The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin struggled to tell a satisfying story in its limited runtime, this crossover special is able to pull off both without a hitch. At 22 minutes there's no time to tell the kind of complicated story a movie could offer, but instead there's one with a very clear focus that's able to bring out the good in both of its components.
Primarily acting as a follow-on to Kamen Rider Ghost, the special directly references to the events of Ghost RE:BIRTH: Kamen Rider Specter - previously the last thing in Ghost's chronology outside of the ~Memories of the Future~ novel. While there are brief cutaways to footage from the movie and loose explanations for those who might be jumping in having only watched Saber, the special definitely feels like a reward for those who enjoyed Ghost and were hoping to see it revisiting for its first milestone anniversary. It's all the better for this continuation stemming from RE:BIRTH, which was a particularly wild and interesting epilogue to the series. By comparison the Saber elements feel quite light, but the few elements that are included are done in a way that the connections feel relevant. Desast finding a twisted kinship with Kanon because they're both artificial lifeforms isn't exactly a deep-cut connection, but it is enough of a parallel between the two characters that it works as the framework of a story. Likewise the same way Takeru just happens to have been holding the Ghost Ijinroku Ride Book at the Daitenku Temple for generations. In a larger special such convenience might stick out a little bit more, but when you're short on time it's a pretty believable way to insert it into the story.
One of the main reasons this special works so well though is because it trims the cast down considerably. Both Saber and Ghost have fairly sizeable casts that tend to trip over each other in their own shows, so bringing them altogether would be a recipe for disaster. Instead the wise move was made to only use three core characters from each of the shows, along with three new villains to bring it up to nine characters in total. Takeru has previously proven to be a character perfectly suited for crossovers and his immediate dynamic with Touma shows this still to be the case. We see the respect the pair have for each other as Kamen Riders, as well as fun little moments like them being perplexed at each other's transformation trinkets. On the Saber side of things Mei continues to be an absolute joy with her over the top expressions and reactions to things, but perhaps the biggest surprise of the whole thing is Jabel slipping so effortlessly into Onari's shoes when it comes to comic relief. While Onari himself could be a bit much a time, Sotaro Yasuda really shows a knack for playing him as ridiculously as possible. There's a lot of fun to be had with the characters but admittedly not that much in the way of depth - the villains particularly suffering since they're all following in the footsteps of a villain from another movie. None of them are in any way notable, but rather impressively the story really doesn't suffer from it.
Taking the position of the damsel in distress isn't exactly breaking new grounds for Kanon and although it's a pity to see her mostly reduced to a walking amnesiac here, what is pleasing is the more physical role Mio Kudo has been given following her stint as Sayo/Kiramei Pink on Mashin Sentai Kiramager. Kanon may be in need of rescue but she can certainly handle herself in a fight. That said, the obvious sister complex Nishime displays in both Ghost and Saber continues to permeate his work here - whether you like it or not.
Whereas the story is definitely more Ghost-orientated, the action portion of the special definitely feels more focused on Saber which balances things out nicely. That said, we still get an excellent camaraderie between the two Riders on the battlefield, which the pair swapping up their respective villains to keep things interesting in the climax. Ghost even manages to get a Musashi Damashii change in, cleverly bringing him more in line with Saber's fighting style as well colour matching the two together nicely.
It's also wonderful to see a legacy Kamen Rider gimmick get inserted into the onscreen fiction again, which is something we haven't really seen since the Ex-Aid 'Tricks' specials. Sure Zi-O's Ridewatch gimmick was pretty much an extension of what legacy gimmicks have to offer, but there is something particularly satisfying about seeing the current Rider use a power-up based on one of their predecessors. Although the Ride Book might have been with Takeru out of pure convenience, the comment about Saber needing to use it to defeat "superior Ganma technology" is a nice touch. The Ghost Ijinroku form leans into the Ghost aesthetically wonderfully with its bright orange jacket, adorned with the emblems of all 15 Parka Ghosts. It's a shame we don't see a corresponding Saber form for Ghost, but then from a merchandising perspective there's probably not much value in releasing a new trinket for a five year-old toy. Instead we get to see Saber fight alongside Ghost Grateful Damashii, so that they can both summon the power of the Parka Ghosts. Again, sometimes the most obvious connections are the ones that work the best.
But perhaps the most curious thing of all in this special is the tease of more to come. The story ends on a fairly sizeable cliffhanger, but with "next time" preview at the end or confirmation of a second part coming one has to wonder what Nishime has in mind for the future of the Ghost cast. The prospect of more is definitely exciting, but also ends up making this special frustrating for only scratching the surface of what exactly was going on here. Toei Tokusatsu Fanclub specials seem to be becoming more and more regular these days, so hopefully it won't be too long before we see the conclusion to this story.
Kamen Rider Saber x Ghost is an exercise in how to do a crossover special right, bringing together only the core components of each series so that it isn't too crowded nor does one outshine the other. Though certainly not essential to the viewing of either show, it's nevertheless a fun excursion that continues to build upon Ghost's epilogue whilst seamlessly inserting Saber into the action. Neither series are anywhere near my favourite, but I'd happily welcome any more adventures Toei have planned for them together.

Just out of curiosity, any previews to your thoughts on Saber so far? How that were getting into the final stretch that is.
Honestly, I'm REALLY struggling with it. I absolutely hated the first arc, began to enjoy it around the second and now I'm kinda back to not really caring about it again. It's definitely in the running to be my least favourite Rider series I've seen :(
Saber wasn't Takuro Fukuda redemption. Also, Alex, do you have a writer that you would like to see writing another Kamen Rider show?

Hope and pray there'll be a sequel that will be coming out very soon. Like, you know, the return of the Kiramagers for the continuation of Kamen Rider Saber X Ghost because Mio Kudou both played Kanon Fukami (Ghost) and Sayo Ooharu/KiramaiPink (Kiramager). I wonder what will be the confrontation between those two people looked like?
P.S.: It looks like you typed the wrong character name for Mio Kudou because Saya/GingaPink was previously played by her fellow Pink Sentai Senior Heroine Actress, Juri Miyazawa of GingaMan (1998). Feeling confused between Saya of 1998 and Sayo of 2020, huh?
Good catch! I am building Super Mini-pla Victory Robo at the moment, so maybe that was the case haha

Hearing fans saying nothing but negative things about Saber makes me miss Yasuko Kobayashi even more.

This is Takuro Fukuda at his best.
Ghost wasn't that nad imo, but I'm really struggling with Saber.

Is Charging your GoPro a issue?


This is my first Computer build from scratch and I am encountering some issues that I could use some advice on.
I've installed Windows Xp, the system boots up, but shortly after windows loads (anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes) the system restarts. When it restarts, the system won't load windows. Instead a screen comes up asking me to select/insert appropriate boot media device.......or something of that nature. Also during these restarts it doesn't sound like the hard drive actually restarts or is active.
I thought that it was the bios, so I updated it to the newest version...it didn't resolve the issue. Also I have noticed that at times the Harddrive in the bios isn't always detected in when I look at the screen that lists the Sata port and what's connected.
Also, my ram doesn't seem to be detectable at 1600....in the bios it reads as my target frequency at 1333. I figure this has to do with the board listing 1600 and above as O.C..
Anyways...any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling it might have something to do with the hard drive, as I have noticed a sound, that could be described as "scratching" when the drive boots up.
Again I'm confused at this point and I just want this thing to work.
Sounds like it could be a faulty cable or port on the motherboard. I'd swap out the cable and try a different port and see if that helps. If it doesn't, try the HDD in another computer and see if the problem continues.
In your boot heading go to the hard drive drop down and make sure that the right hard drive is selected as primary.
Go into your boot priority and make sure that it's in there too as your primary boot device.
thanks for the help. I got everything up and running now. I decided to throw in an IDe drive as my main drive and did a complete (long) reformat of my Sata drive. Not only does the system run with no problems now, but the sata drive doesn't make any of those scratching noises anymore.
I think what had happened before was when the system was originally put together my brother plugged the sata drive into the black port on the mobo that's actually meant for adding additional E-sata ports. while plugged into that port, the drive was formatted and windows was installed onto it and that might explain why when I plugged it into one of the proper 6 sata ports that i (and the drive) was having so many issues.
Anyways, thanks again, now all I have to do is to get the system to acknowledge the proper frequency of my ram.

Q: ¿Cómo llamar a un método desde un template? necesito saber como puedo hacer que un botón o etiqueta  me ejecute una función que está en la views sin tener que asignarle una url, solo que al pulsarlo me ejecute el método. Saludos y gracias
Este es el método en views:
def generarMatriz(request, id_proyecto):
hilo = myThread(id_proyecto)
hilo.start()

class myThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self,id_proyecto):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.id_proyecto = id_proyecto
    def run(self):
        a = algoritmo(self.id_proyecto)
        a.principal()

A: Si el procesamiento es corto lo óptimo es usar AJAX.
Si el procesamiento es pesado se suele usar Celery.
Ejecutar código Python directamente en la plantilla es una mala práctica, mucho más un hilo como haces, no es asíncrono, saturarías el servidor, sobre todo si no tienes un gestor de colas.


Several hospitals in Lincolnshire have been hit by a cyber attack. The precise means by which the attack was perpetrated is yet to be established. What we do know is that the attack was discovered on 30th October and the hospitals are still recovering from the impacts. The disruption caused by the attack and the subsequent malware infection has resulted in the majority of operations being cancelled together with the suspension of blood testing activities. The reports thus far demonstrate that a cyber attack, in this instance, can put lives at risk and result in operational disruptions that last for days.
Operation appointments across Lincolnshire hospitals for tomorrow, including Lincoln County Hospital, have been cancelled after a virus struck the IT system of a neighbouring trust.virus infected electronic systems for Scunthorpe and Grimsby hospitals in North Lincolnshire on Sunday, October 30.
As a result, major systems at the hospitals were shut down.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust has now confirmed that shared IT systems must be shut down across the county to minimise risks.
As a result, operations at Lincoln, Grantham and Boston have now also been cancelled. A&E departments are also expected to face delays.
The trust has said any patients with a planned operation on November 1 should presume it is cancelled unless contacted and told otherwise.
Mark Brassington, Chief Operating Officer at ULHT, said: "Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) has had to shutdown all their electronic systems due to a computer virus.
"ULHT shares four clinical IT systems with NLAG, so as a precautionary measure to protect ULHT, links with these shared systems have been stopped.
"We have a plan in place to minimise risks to patients which includes reverting to manual systems.
"The biggest impact on the trust is in processing of blood tests, access to historical test results and availability of blood for blood transfusions.
"Our number one priority is keeping patients safe so we are cancelling all planned operations tomorrow (Tuesday 1 November) unless there is a clinical reason not to.
"We are trying to contact all patients, but patients due to have an operation on Tuesday are being asked to not turn up unless they hear otherwise.
"Patients attending A&E or an outpatient clinic at any of our hospitals will unfortunately face delays.
"During this time we are asking patients to bear with us. People will have to wait longer to be seen, appointments may be delayed and there will be longer waits for tests which cannot be avoided.
"Our A&Es are open, but we urge everyone to think twice before they go to A&E – if it's not serious or life threatening, you shouldn't be there.
"Many illnesses can be better treated by visiting your local pharmacy, calling NHS 111, visiting your local GP, GP out of hours services, or attending a walk in centre or a minor injuries unit".

Q: How to program custom made PCBs with ARM-based microcontrollers? I just wanted to ask, how do you program ARM based microcontrollers (mainly) through a USB-port?
Until now, I was constantly working with the Arduino IDE and "arduino-ish" microcontroller, which had to be programmed via another Arduino through ISP and then could be connected directly to the PC and programmed through the ArduinoIDE
Now for the ARM based microcontroller board I wanted to use something like the STM32 IDE because of the GUI with an STM32 microcontroller which supports USB FS and DFU.
But don't I need to first upload a bootloader to the microcontroller in order to be recognised by any IDE / Windows itself or can I just plug it into the computer and it's going to be recognised as a communication device and can be programmed directly? Otherwise I would need to have some pins available uploading the bootloader via a FTDI chip.

A: STM32CubeMX provides an excellent debugger. If you're used to Arduino IDE that doesn't have a debugger, you might not realize how useful this is for development. A fast serial port is also a must for all those printf()'s. If you decide to use a bootloader for development and use the SWD pins as GPIO, or you don't put the debug connector, then you won't be able to use the debugger when you need it.
To enable this, you can use a STM32 programmer like STLINK which is very cheap. Nucleo boards include one, if you desolder a couple resistors and move jumpers to enable the SWD/UART headers.
Bootloader is better suited to uploading a new firmware when development is almost finished and you don't need to debug, or for upgrading in the field when the device is not connected to the PC with the debugger.

A: The STM32 MCUs come with factory bootloader, and if it supports DFU then you can directly program it via USB.
For the parts that do not support USB or don't support DFU in the factory bootloader, you can use any of the available interfaces like UART, SPI, I2C or CAN.
Failing that or if you just want to use JTAG or SWD then those interfaces can be used for programming firmware but also for debugging.

Lucifer Curves: The Legacy of Lead Poisoning
by Rick Nevin Rick Nevin
LEND ME® See Details
Lucifer Curves tells the stranger-than-fiction true story of how preschool lead poisoning has caused crime waves across centuries and around the world. Lead poisoning also explains USA racial disparities in education, abortion and unwed birth rates, and arrest and incarceration rates. Rick Nevin's peer-reviewed research on this subject has been widely reported by the global news media. In Lucifer Curves, Nevin puts all of the pieces together, including figures showing how lead exposure trends have accurately predicted ongoing crime trends in the USA, Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. Moreover, Lucifer Curves presents new pieces of this puzzle, showing how lead poisoning can explain the "dawn to dusk of delinquency", and historic trends in stature known as the "antebellum puzzle". Other figures show that lead poisoning has also predicted USA trends in education and unwed teen pregnancy. Nevin presents clear evidence that lead poisoning has caused these societal trends, based on causation indicators that the World Health Organization has described as a "mainstay of epidemiological textbooks and data interpretation". Nevin presents this evidence in terms accessible to anyone with a curious mind. He also explains how preschool lead exposure still poses an important public health risk, how we can economically eliminate the greatest source of that risk, and how the legacy of lead poisoning has profound implications for current policy debates over criminal justice reform and the death penalty.
