The Marmot Review: national and local policies to redress social inequalities in health
In 2008, Professor Sir Michael Marmot (UCL Epidemiology & Public Health) was asked by the Secretary of State for Health to chair an independent review to propose the most effective evidence-based strategies for reducing health inequalities in England. The Marmot Review, published in 2010, has fundamentally shifted discourse on health inequalities in the UK and internationally. It has shaped public health services in England and around the world, guided government and international policy, and has given rise to a new commitment from service providers and health professionals to reducing health inequalities and addressing the social determinants of health.
Research by Professor Marmot and colleagues over the past 40 years has investigated the role of social inequalities in health. Beginning in 1985 and continuing to the present day, the Whitehall II study has investigated the importance of social class for health by following a cohort of 10,308 working men and women. As a result of his expertise in the subject, Professor Marmot chaired the Commission on Social Determinants of Health set up by the World Health Organization in 2005 to support tackling the political, social and economic determinants of poor health and avoidable health inequalities. The final report, entitled Closing the Gap in a Generation, was published in 2008.
Later that year, at the request of the British government, Marmot chaired an independent review to propose the most effective evidence-based strategies for reducing health inequalities in England. The Review was tasked with identifying relevant evidence, showing how this could be translated into policy, and advising on delivery, including indicators and targets. Fair Society, Healthy Lives: A Strategic Review of Health Inequalities in England Post-2010 ("The Marmot Review") was published in 2010 and set out key policy objectives, based around the social determinants of health:
Give every child the best start in life
Enable all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives
Create fair employment and good work for all
Ensure a healthy standard of living for all
Create and develop healthy and sustainable places and communities
Strengthen the role and impact of ill-health prevention
In 2011, the UCL Institute of Health Equity (IHE) was launched to support the implementation of these objectives with funding from the Department of Health. The team has carried out further work to implement the findings of the Marmot Review and has published on issues relating to the social determinants of health, continuing to build the evidence base for practitioners and policy makers - for instance in relation to alcohol, obesity and smoking, the early years, fuel poverty, cardiovascular disease, the impact of the economic downturn, mental health, advice for local government, healthy hospitals, chronically excluded groups and the role of health professionals in tackling health inequalities.
Coventry is a Marmot City... The Health and Well-being Strategy is based around the six Marmot Themes which were identified in February 2010 by Professor Michael Marmot in his report 'Fair Society, Healthy Lives'. These themes identify the wider social determinants of ill health and have been adopted by the Coventry Health and Well-being Board. - Coventry Council
Health policy in England
The findings of the Marmot Review and subsequent work have contributed to England's health policy and practice. Health inequalities are at the centre of the new health system in England, as outlined in the government's 2010 White Paper, Healthy Lives, Healthy People: Our strategy for public health in England. In 2011, the Department of Health's Public Health Outcomes Framework set out the strategy for achieving this with the intention to follow the Review's life course framework for tackling the wider social determinants of health. The principles set out in these documents were then followed by inequalities duties - introduced for the first time by the Health and Social Care Act 2012. As part of democratic scrutiny of these policies, members of the team gave oral and written evidence to several Select Committees.
The UCL IHE has worked with the Department of Health and other national and local bodies, including Public Health England, NHS organisations and local government, to help embed a social determinants approach to health inequalities throughout the health system in England. At a national level, Public Health England (PHE) was established in April 2013, bringing together specialists from more than 70 organisations into a single public health service. The recommendations of the Marmot Review informed the design of PHE in general, and the Health and Wellbeing directorate in particular. Public Health England has commissioned the UCL IHE to produce a series of evidence reviews on social determinants and health equity topics for local authorities.
At a local level, over 70% of local authorities are now working to embed 'Marmot principles' in their approaches to improving health and reducing inequalities.
The UCL IHE is engaged in a high-profile programme of activity to encourage and support health professionals to tackle health inequalities. The programme has been enthusiastically supported by Royal Colleges, the British Medical Association and other relevant organisations who have provided many practical ideas for action and made commitments to embed them over the next few years. Michael Marmot will be President of the World Medical Association in 2015.
The UCL IHE has established international partnerships to support implementation of work on social determinants, working with the WHO Regional Office for Europe to support the development and implementation of the new common health policy framework for Europe: Health 2020. IHE has also worked with the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) to embed social determinants of health in its five-year strategy, as shown in its recent update to Health in the Americas, and is working with the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Office and producing a 'Marmot Review' for Taiwan. UCL IHE has also set up an international academic collaboration on social determinants of health and is involved with social determinant networks across the world.

AcuCort's new, innovative product enables fast uptake of the active ingredient. Dexa ODF is not a tablet that must be swallowed nor does it require access to water since it is a fast-dissolving film to be put on the tongue. Important benefits in stressful situations such as acute allergic reactions, not least for persons with swallowing difficulties.
AcuCort develops and commercializes Dexa ODF ‒ a fast-dissolving film to be put on the tongue, based on a well-known version of cortisone – dexamethasone. Dexa ODF is a smart product in a new, innovative and user-friendly administration form, primarily for the treatment of acute allergic reactions, for viral croup in children and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).
Dexa ODF is estimated to have short time to market since AcuCort only needs to repeat a previous successful bioequivalence study to seek marketing approval in Europe.

Social Media and Divorce – imjusttryingtolive.
The thing about social media is that I know both way too much and way too little about people's lives. Usually people that I don't talk to or don't care much about, but care enough about to not delete them from social media. And because of Facebook algorithms I don't see much from the people that I love, although most of my actual friends don't post, and I'll randomly see something from someone I forgot about.
Today I noticed that someone had taken their last name off of Facebook. Someone who I hadn't even seen a post from in a long time, and someone who I haven't seen or spoken to in more than two years. But I was at her wedding. So I did some Facebook creeping and realized that she had taken all traces of her former relationship off of Facebook. So I assume she's divorced. Which is sad. Or maybe it's right. Because I know nothing about the situation. I was just being nosy. And it just makes me think how awkward social media is. Because I'm not going to message her and say, "Hey, did you get divorced? What happened? Are you okay?" Because that would be weird, and I don't even know how long ago she got divorced. Because social media was a thing, you would run into someone in the grocery store or something and maybe get to talking and find out information that way. But this person lives across the country from me and isn't close friends with any of my friends. We just happened to work together several years ago. So now I have this information and no outlet for it, and I don't even need to have this information in the first place.
It was so easy to let people out of your life in the old days. You would lose track of people and only keep up with one the ones who really mattered. Facebook tries to make everyone matter to everyone. It's just so much. Do we even need it?
How long is 10 minutes?


This proposal is a comparative analysis of two contested hazardous waste disposal siting cases in the Gulf Coast region of Texas employing identical treatment methods and technologies (solidification and salt dome disposal). The study is designed to identify the sources of community opposition and the role of non-technical variables correlated with siting failure. By introducing controls over the technical aspects of siting, it becomes possible to measure the effects of the non-technical (social, political, economic) variables. It is not uncommon that technical controversies center largely on non-technical issues (e.g., disputes over the appropriate role of government, individual autonomy vs. community goals, moral or ethical issues). To assume that siting conflicts are strictly matters of engineering and science shows poor sociological insight.
Technology is important, but it may not be the most important consideration in environmental conflicts. A determination of the role of nontechnical factors is enhanced in the proposed research design. Methodologically, findings drawn from single case studies may be muddled by the fact that they lack comparable conditions or parallels. Comparisons with other siting cases involving different technologies or methods of treatment (e.g., incineration), or even different types of waste (e.g., nuclear, conventional), confound the problem and are vulnerable to the "apples and oranges" criticism. The apples and oranges problem is avoided here. Moreover, should the comparison case yield a different outcome, it would be possible to isolate those factors related to public acceptance or siting success from among the residual variables.
The project builds on a feasibility study conducted last year confirming assessments of a potential comparison case: (1) the waste company submitting the permit application has proposed identical treatment and disposal methods as the failed Liberty county case- studied previously; (2) the permit application is near completion; (3) the community opposition group (Concerned Citizens Against Pollution) has declared intentions to fight the new permit; (4) permission for gaining access to key personnel in both the waste company and the local opposition group has been secured; and (5) the waste company has recognized the importance of community involvement and democratic participation in the siting process and expressed a willingness to meet with opposition leaders. Generally, this proposal outlines how a comparative analysis of two contested sites might be conducted in order to better understand how sociological factors influence and shape public responses.

Taylor Swift: Artist Of The Decade
Photo posted by @taylorswift on Instagram
There is no doubt that the past 15 years have been a whirlwind for global superstar Taylor Swift, with the past decade in particular being anything short of extraordinary. Due to her unwavering success, Swift has not only been nominated but awarded an unbelievable amount of times throughout her career, 2019 marking a pivotal year with both the American Music Awards and Billboard honoring her with the "Artist of The Decade" award.
"Taylor's impact on music this decade is undeniable and her performances on the American Music Awards have been truly spectacular," says Dick Clark Productions' executive VP when asked about the American Music Awards upcoming show at the time.
Topping Charts
Having won over 300 awards thus far, Swift has become the most decorated artist across multiple platforms. This year's AMA's brought Swifts all-time total under the award show to 29 , surpassing Michael Jackson's record of 24 and continuing her domination as most awarded female artist in history. She continued to be the most accomplished musical artist this year upon the release of her seventh studio album, "Lover," which took the charts by storm and sold well over 500,000 copies in the first week. Swift now holds five No. 1 albums, five No. 1 hits, and 25 top ten hits all on the Billboard charts showcasing her amazing success over the decade.
Commitment Within and Beyond The Music Industry
The past decade Swift has not only shown us her talent in singing and songwriting but her commitment to protecting creative rights, music education, literacy programs, cancer research, disaster relief and the Time's Up initiative among many other programs.
Swift has been committed to protecting artist's rights since day one which has been seen throughout her many publicly written letters to streaming services such as Apple Music and now the current owner of her masters, Big Machine Label Group by Scooter Braun. Scooter Braun, a mega-manager of top artists such as Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Kanye West, acquired Swift's six-album catalog this past June causing numerous publicized issues since.
The most recent issue being that he along with the rest of the label stated that Swift would not be allowed to perform any of the songs on her past six albums during her honorary "Artist of the Decade" performance at the AMA's due to them believing it would be Swift re-recording her songs that they now owned (Swift not being allowed to re-record until November of 2020). After Swift released a letter notifying her followers of the situation, fans and fellow artists in the industry took over every social media platform posting support of Swift and stating how unfair and cruel it was for Scooter and Big Machine to stop her. After multiple days following her publicly posted letter and statements back and forth, Swift regained the ability to perform her old songs during the much anticipated performance.
Taylor Swift is "The Man"
Swift took the stage by storm and made history as she took the audience and fans sitting at home through her most epic songs of the decade that resonated with people across the globe. The medley included "Love Story," "I Knew You Were Trouble," "Blank Space," and "Shake It Off" — yet she kicked off the performance with her song "The Man" off her most recent album, "Lover," to make a statement about the double standards and sexism seen in the music industry. The performance ended with a beautiful rendition of her title single "Lover," where Swift sat behind a beautiful rose colored piano covered in song titles from her albums over the years, as well as having ballet dancers Misty Copeland and Craig Hall perform next to her on stage.
"All anyone in this room wants is to create something that will last. The fact that this is an award that celebrates a decade of hard work and art and fun and memories — all that matters to me is the memories I've had with you guys, the fans, over the years. Because we've had fun, incredible, exhilarating, extraordinary times together and may it continue," says Taylor Swift upon accepting her Artist of The Decade award.
Time and time again Taylor Swift writes all of the emotions we can't seem to put into words into beautiful albums that seem as if they are going to last decades. It is undeniable that she is one of the most talented singers and songwriters of the decade and will continue to elevate the music industry with each consecutive album and performance she creates.
Here is to the next decade of phenomenal and influential singers and songwriters. Until then dance, sing and cry your heart to Taylor Swift's beautiful collection of work from the past 13 years.

Morgan Lewis Smith (March 8, 1822 – December 29, 1874) was a Union brigadier general in the American Civil War

Biography
Smith was born in Oswego County, New York. In 1843 he settled in Indiana, and later had some military experience in the United States Army. At the outbreak of the Civil War he raised the 8th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, of which he was elected Colonel in 1861. He commanded a brigade at the capture of Fort Donelson, and performed well at Shiloh.  At these two battles his losses included only dead and wounded, none missing or captured.  This was a testimony to Smith's leadership, considering other commands lost thousands to skulkers and prisoners during both battles.  In mid-May Smith was transferred to command the 1st Brigade in William T. Sherman's division.  Smith's brigade took an active part in the siege of Corinth being the lead brigade in the fight for Russell's House and the attack on the double log house.

On July 19, 1862, Smith was appointed brigadier general of volunteers, to rank from July 16, 1862. He served under Sherman in the Vicksburg Campaign. At the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou he received a severe wound, from which he would not recover until October 1863.  He rejoined the Army of the Tennessee before Chattanooga.

He led his division in the battle of Chattanooga, and in the following year's Atlanta Campaign. During the Battle of Atlanta he temporarily commanded the XV Corps when John A. Logan assumed command of the Army of the Tennessee after James B. McPherson's death. He returned to command his division at the battle of Ezra Church but was soon forced to leave active field command due to complications from his wound received at Chickasaw Bluffs.  Afterwards he was placed in charge of Vicksburg. General Sherman said of M.L. Smith, "He was one of the bravest men in action I ever knew."

After the Civil War Smith served as U.S. Consul in Honolulu, Hawaii, 1866–1868. He died at Jersey City, New Jersey on December 29, 1874, and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. His brother, Giles Alexander Smith, was also a Union general.

Almost two weeks ago I was lucky enough to head to Jensen Beach, FL to visit the Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa, which is located one hour away from the Palm Beach airport on Florida's treasure coast. The resort is a brand new hotel which opened barely a year and a half ago in October 2017. AAA Four-Diamond property. The hotel has 178 guest rooms that reflect the beach and nautical theme perfectly. Every detail is meticulously picked out to reflect their location and everything is true to the area; you will not see any Michael's or Hobby Lobby sea pieces placed in this hotel.
From the moment you walk into the lobby you are greeted with hand made sand designed that say Hutchinson Shores, a amazingly beautiful glass chandelier with sharp nosed sharks and fishes incorporate the deep blues and teals that run though out the entire resort, and the openness make for a warm welcome.
From the blue and white striped theme, to the nautical anchors and pictures everyone and the porthole as the bathroom door, it really made for the room and the feeling like you were on a ship ready to set sail on an ocean voyage. One of my favorite parts of the room was the bed, because it was one of the most comfiest I have ever stayed in. As a mom to a very active toddler, a relaxing night sleep isn't always in the cards, so being able to relax in a bed while watching some reality tv on their smart televisions at the end of the night was a dream.
Drift Kitchen + Bar is Hutchinson Shore Resort's premier oceanfront restaurant, offering fresh seafood and Italian specialties in a beautifully designed, contemporary space overlooking the beach and Atlantic Ocean just beyond. Coming from a Houston gal, which is used to amazing food from all different parts of the world, the moment I tried a meal at Drift Kitchen + Bar I was completely hooked. Every meal was absolutely delicious, full of flavor that every taste bud in my mouth exploded.
Every meal after that was just as delectable and if Diego was here, he is a big foodie, he would have been in food heaven just like me.
Hutchinson Shores has two pools. One is the Reflections Pool, which is the largest of the pools and actually gets sunlight 85% of the day; so if your looking to get a great tan this is the place you will spend most of your time. It is family-friendly and also has a hot tub and pool bar next to it that we frequented quick often during our 3 day stay. In addition there are also private cabanas that are available for daily rentals but luckily since we were there during the week, we got to enough it at our leisure and to also get some cute shots by the pool.
The Dune Pool is another one at the resort, which is about half the size, it is heated but only for adults. The thing that I loved the most is that it has an amazing view of the Atlantic ocean, and is located off of their main restaurant, The Drift Kitchen + Bar.
If you aren't much of a pool person or really just want to enjoy the Prestine Beach, you can head to their private one which is very serene and quite with miles of gorgeous sand and multiple spots to relax and enjoy. You can enjoy private chairs and umbrellas from anywhere from $20 to $100, depending on what you want.
As a mother myself, what I truly enjoyed seeing with the sand dune they created with tons of kids toys to play in and make sand castles. When I saw that I really missed my daughter Sofia, and knew we had to come back so she can enjoy it and see why I love the Hutchinson Shores resort so much.
Complimentary bottled water all day, every day.
Lots of beach activities to enjoy. We did Yoga on the beach our first morning there and it was absolutely amazing.
Beach toys for guests to use, which makes it for a family friendly beach day.
The resort also offers executive car-and-driver service, with on-call limousines, sedans and vans.
Meeting Spaces for events and weddings.
Thank you to the Hutchinson Shores & Resort Spa for hosting an amazing three days. As always all thoughts and opinions are my own.


To overcome the variability in performance of yeast cell wall products Ohly is introducing a new yeast cell wall product produced from primary cultivated yeast by hydrolysis: Ohly-GO® Wall. This product combines the health benefits of Mannan Oligosaccharides (MOS) and b-glucans.
With the increasingly widespread ban on the subtherapeutic use of antibiotics in farming, there is a growing demand for alternatives. Yeast cell walls are widely used for this purpose and their benefits are well accepted. Generally, they are a by-product from the yeast extract industry or produced from brewer's or biofuel spent yeast. Therefore, the MOS and b-glucan content of such products varies largely. Moreover, yeast cell walls are spheres. Hence the components that are on the outside of the yeast cell wall interact with the host and determine its function.
Conventional yeast cell walls are mostly the result of yeast autolysis, and their outer layer contains mannan oligosaccharides, hence the common referral to yeast cell walls as MOS. In contrast, the outer layer of yeast cell walls produced by hydrolysis contains a mixture of b-glucans and MOS. Ohly-GO® Wall is a new product of robust composition that is produced by hydrolysis of primary cultivated yeast. It contains both MOS and b-glucans on its outside, allowing it to fight microbial infections by two modes of action: pathogen binding as well as immune stimulation.
Nutritionists at animal feed companies rightly demand proof of the benefits of feed ingredients based on the results of animal trials. However, product consistency and product structure are as important in order to realise these benefits in a robust manner.


But before 2015 get rolling, it's time to have a look at how great things went for this site over 2014.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. I wanted one last year but I didn't get offered – I must have been doing something right in 2014 I guess!
Yes, I realise that's two infographic posts in a row… what can I say? It's a new found obsession.

Little Cayman Offers Hope for Coral Reefs
Little Cayman has successfully been championed to become a Mission Blue (Sylvia Earle Alliance) "Hope Spot" by the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) as part of their World Oceans Day celebrations. The Hope Spot initiative was launched in 2009, and it now includes some of the world's most precious ecosystems:
"Hope Spots are special places that are critical to the health of the ocean — Earth's blue heart. Hope Spots are about recognizing, empowering and supporting individuals and communities around the world in their efforts to protect the ocean."
Little Cayman is being recognized as a Hope Spot because of the high abundance of threatened and endemic species found there. Just off the western point of Little Cayman is a site protected by the Cayman Islands Government that is one of the last remaining large spawning aggregation sites for the endangered Nassau grouper. Green, hawksbill and loggerhead turtles nest in the hundreds on Little Cayman's beaches every year, and the coast is abundant with marine life, including seven species of sharks.
Little Cayman's coral reefs are also a vibrant contributor to the island's rich biodiversity. CCMI's restoration and assisted evolution research efforts examine the features that enable corals to persist through time, despite changing conditions, including working with staghorn and elkhorn coral. Both of these coral species are critically endangered following a disease outbreak and die-off in the 1980s. They are crucial reef-builders that used to be prevalent throughout the Caribbean, and they are extremely important to the resiliency of healthy coral reefs. Little Cayman's biodiversity both on land and in the ocean are significant, and CCMI's scientific discoveries continue to grow our knowledge of these key ecosystems.
Little Cayman is also supported by a raft of impactful organisations who seek to identify a more sustainable future, such as the Cayman Islands Department of Environment, the Cayman Islands National Trust, the Sister Islands Tourism Association (SITA), the Grouper Moon Project and a host of engaged patrons and stakeholders who reside on Little Cayman. Conservation legislation of ecologically important species developed by the Cayman Islands Government, such as the early adoption of Marine Park Areas (MPAs), no dive zones and specific species protection policies, has also played a crucial in protecting biodiversity locally.
Dr Carrie Manfrino, CCMI's founder and president, identified the positivity regarding Little Cayman's unique reef health when she set up the organisation in 1998. "The reefs of Little Cayman are indicating resilience, and we know healthy reefs lead to healthy lives. Since 1999, the scientific team at CCMI has completed field expeditions using the Atlantic & Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA) protocol to get a snapshot of the status of the reefs in the region. Our results indicate that whilst Little Cayman reefs are not immune to the impacts of local and global change, they have remained stable over time and appear to be more resilient than other Caribbean coral reef systems."
Survey results from CCMI's 2019 AGGRA provide a glimmer of hope on an otherwise stormy outlook for coral reefs across the globe. What does a Hope Spot and empirical evidence of a stable coral reef ecosystem really mean? Simply put, Little Cayman is a unique island that indicates coral reefs, and therefore the ocean, can be resilient. Resilience is the key to adapting to changing climate, enabling us to understand how to sustain reefs systems for the future. Little Cayman's reefs therefore create real hope for the future.
Dr Manfrino has a clear message for everyone this World Ocean's Day. "The ocean is on fire and reefs are on the brink of extinction, as rising temperatures are killing corals at unprecedented speed. Yet globally, we have shown that we can reduce our impact on our oceans. I believe the time to make a shift change and protect our oceans for the future is now. There is hope."
CCMI invites the public to join CCMI's virtual World Oceans Day celebrations this year, a part of their "We Need Healthy Reefs" campaign, which includes the launch of the Little Cayman Hope Spot, an underwater photography exhibition and auction, and an underwater photography webinar with Ellen Cuylaerts (free to participate; registration is required). A full schedule of World Oceans Day events can be found HERE. CCMI is releasing a new technical report, "Coral Reef Resilience Over Two Decades at Little Cayman Island", which includes an assessment and analysis of various aspects of coral reef health surveyed annually from 1999 – 2019. A new Reef Report Card is being introduced as a way to share the key findings about the status of coral reefs in Little Cayman from this report. You can review the Reef Report Card HERE.
CCMI shares the results from their monitoring work with the public via our Healthy Reefs outreach campaigns to improve knowledge and ocean stewardship, which can also be found HERE.

Q: RegExp in Node Js not working: Cannot call method 'toString' of null This exact function does not work on Node Js, even though it work fine on a regular browser. How can I make it work on NodeJS?
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/wC53N/
var MyHereDoc = function() {
    var bodyEmail = function(){
        var test = 1;
/*HEREDOC

    Hola1

       hola2

HEREDOC*/
    };

    var here = "HEREDOC";
    var reobj = new RegExp("/\\*"+here+"\\n[\\s\\S]*?\\n"+here+"\\*/", "m");
    str = reobj.exec(bodyEmail).toString();
    str = str.replace(new RegExp("/\\*"+here+"\\n",'m'),'').toString();
    toPrint =  str.replace(new RegExp("\\n"+here+"\\*/",'m'),'').toString();
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = toPrint;
}
MyHereDoc();

If you try to run this same code on NodeJS u will get this error:
Cannot call method 'toString' of null

But Why? any idea how to make it works, or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Q: Can't run application from .cshtml tab Strange problem I got here. I using Visual Studio 2012. When I start debugging my web application from .cshtml tabs I getting this error

Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its
  dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is
  temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure
  that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Views/Header/GeneralInputs.cshtml
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319;
  ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.225

When I run it from .cs tabs everything is fine and runs well. Whats wrong?
Here's my RouteConfig
  public class RouteConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Header", action = "GeneralInputs", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
        }
    }

Also I tried to adding this line into the WebConfig, but that didn't help
 <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />

UPD:
what I got in
HeaderController
 public ActionResult GeneralInputs()
        {
            return View();
        }

A: I think you can't request this page like this:Requested URL/Views/Header/GeneralInputs.cshtml. You should request Header/GeneralInputs. You must request the Action in the controller. No the view in the controller

A: The feature you are seeing can actually be quite useful: directly run the page (Controller/Action) your cursor is in.
But when you frequently call this from a View, or from Actions that require parameters, you can fix your starting point from Project|Properties|Web, and then check the (o) Specific Page option.

A: The action name "GeneralInputs" should be in your HeaderController and GeneralInputs.cshtml file should be in Header View folder. if both are well and good. Then don't run your application while the cursor in GeneralInputs.cshtml page. Keep the cursor in the controller then run your application.

Umap is a dimensionality reduction algorithm. It takes points defined by vectors of high dimensions:
- 2D vector= (x,y),
- 3D vector= (x,y,z),
- ND vector= (x,y,z,a,b,c,...n)

And puts them back in lower dimensions. This allows for visualizing point clouds in 2D and also finding a subspace/ base / manifold in which the cloud data lies.

This can be better seen in the 3D to 2D case. The reduced vector is also called an embedding of the first one.

_View of learning the shape of a "sheet of paper" only by knowing a set of points that lie on it._

Unlike many other famous techniques ([PCA](https://medium.com/@raghavan99o/principal-component-analysis-pca-explained-and-implemented-eeab7cb73b72), [MDS](d)...), it learns this structure by using local information. i.e. only looking at specific patches at a time. The neighbors of each points, like [t-SNE](https://medium.com/@raghavan99o/principal-component-analysis-pca-explained-and-implemented-eeab7cb73b72). This type of technique is called non linear as it can learn complex "bendy" shapes (like the S above).

Neighbor information is better encoded into a graph. With edges representing distances between points. and only displaying the edges to the nearest points in the neighborhood.

This distance is normalized by all distances this point has to its neighbors, meaning now the range of possible distances is transformed into a [0,1] range where the closest point will be at a distance 0 and the furthest point will be at a distance computed such that summing all the distances between all neighbors will get to $log2(#neibors)$.

Then for all the neighbors we create a set (a list of unique things) for all edges.

This set will be "fuzzy", as it also contains a value representing how much each neighbors to a point is in the set of neighbors to this point, based on its distance to the center point.

We will do this for each point and then merge all the sets created for each point.
Meaning, we will merge the edges and keep only the ones with the lowest distances.

We then take each edges and consider them together as a graph or a skeleton.

**Pausing for a second**, we can really see that the only thing we have done here is defined edges between points and merging them together. However you have to understand that the same edge in two different set, will have two different distances as they have both been normalized by different sets of neighbors. Thus even a point far away from everything else will get one of its edges in the graph.
These two edges would get merged by using the [t-conorm](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/t-conorm) (which a fuzzy logic way of taking the [norm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_(mathematics)) of something) on their two respective lengths.

*Note that we are thinking here about graph of nodes and edges but the topological logic could be applied to the faces made by each set of 3 edges and the volumes made by each set of 4 faces, etc ... This would complexify the model (and render it impossible to compute) but also make it more closer to the theory underlying it*

We then take the core components of this graph using [spectral embedding](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/cluster/plot_cluster_comparison.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-cluster-plot-cluster-comparison-py), where we basically take the [eigenvector](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFDu9oVAE-g) of a [matrix of adjacency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_matrix) (i.e. A square of numbers where rows represent the nodes of the graph and the columns represent the same nodes and the values of the matrix are the distance between, each point)

It is a [decomposition](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFDu9oVAE-g) of the information into two things: one that define a base for the object to exist in and the other defining the layout of the object. You need both to reconstruct the object.

Here we will only take the first 2 most important value of the base and considers it as what defines our object in 2 dimension (but it could be any other number, lower than the initial number of dimension). The two values here are vectors: they represent the 2 dimensions of each points (x,y) and each of their value/dimensions represent each of the different points in our point cloud.

Finally we will try to improve this first version by a [minimization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization) process. There, we want to apply a physical-like force between the nodes so that close connected edges get closer together (up to a minimum distance)

![](/assets/images/umap.png){: .align-center}

*we can see the relation to the number of samples used and the max distance to create graph edges.*

All in all, there is a theoretical explanation of the algorithm that can be seen in terms of learning [fuzzy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_logic) [simplicial sets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicial_set) defining the local structure of the high dimensional data and of the lower dimensional one and making the two sets converge.

The explanation defined in part 2 of the paper can be understood by anyone after reading [this book](https://books.google.com/books?id=xbL11KfgiEAC&printsec=frontcover&hl=fr&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false) which will allow the reader to gain the vocabulary to understand the wikipedia pages defining the vocabulary used in the paper. :p

YOUNGWOOD, Pa. - Forward Xavier Johnson recorded a triple-double and Garrett Dhans fired in 22 points, but the Westmoreland County Community College men's basketball team's gritty effort came up just short in a 94-77 loss to visiting Pitt-Titusville Thursday night.
Johnson spearheaded the Wolfpack effort in the opening half, as he buried three treys and rifled in 15 points before the break, while Luke Stein canned a pair of three-pointers as he scored 10 in the first half. Westmoreland led by as many as six, but Titusville recovered and used a three-pointer by Hysheem Robinson just before the buzzer to take a 40-37 lead into intermission.
Titusville scored the opening bucket of the second half, but that was answered by a 10-2 Westmoreland run, inclduing two baskets by Aron Whatule, the second of which gave the home team a 47-44 lead with 16 minutes left in the game. The teams battled back and forth over the next few minutes and when Michael Yuricha swished a three-pointer with 9:20 to play, the score was knotted at 60-60.
The tie was short-lived as Titusville's George Sydnor knocked down a trey the next possession and the visitors had the lead for good. Despite the loss, the Wolfpack had several outstanding performances, led by Johnson. The 6-3 forward finished with 23 markers, hauled down 11 rebounds and passed out 10 assists to post the triple-double. The assist total was a season-high and the 23 points was his most since scoring 29 against Hocking on Nov. 11th.
Dhans also had a big game, notching 22 points while adding seven assists and four steals. Stein's big first half propelled him to 14 points, while Yuricha recorded his fifth doubole-double of the season with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Whatule also set a season-high with six points in the game.
The Wolfpack will be back on the floor Saturday afternoon when they host Penn Highlands in a 12:30 pm tip-off.

QP Friday: 'Vanity advertising', electoral reform and Magnitsky
By Kyle Duggan. Published on May 13, 2016 1:44pm
Lead question and answer
With no leaders in question period today – the Prime Minister is in Fort McMurray, meeting with first responders and NDP Premier Rachel Notley – Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer led QP in a political charge over newly announced rules for government advertising.
Scheer asked why — while Treasury Board President Scott Brison announced new rules against partisan government ads — the Liberals are defending a video that "stars" the prime minister made for Destination Canada, breaking "their own rules" and promises over a "vanity advertising project"?
Minister of Small Business and Tourism Bardish Chagger rose to respond that it's a promise kept. "This is good news," she said, and pivoted onto a key Liberal leitmotif: that the government is becoming more open and transparent under the Liberals.
"This video is not paid advertising," she said, so it's not breaking the rules.
Scheer wrapped it into a larger narrative push by the Conservatives that the Liberals have an entitlement problem, charging that the Liberals are the "masters of do as I say, not as I do" by OK'ing the PM's "puff piece" at the same time as banning political ads. Chagger then rattled off talking points about the importance of Destination Canada and the tourism industry.
Tory MP Gerard Deltell followed up, then so too did NDP House Leader Peter Julian.
Julian said they still spent "millions in government advertising, just like the Conservatives always did."
Chagger then encouraged Canadians to have a look at the new "amazing marketing campaign," and said we have a "prime minister that people want to meet and get to know."
"This is an exciting time, Mr. Speaker. We should be proud."
Dominant topics
Electoral reform and the Magnitsky bill made up a bulk of another otherwise sleepy QP Friday.
Conservative MP Scott Reid asked once again, why won't the Prime Minister hold a referendum on democratic reform?
Liberal MP Mark Holland responded in a strong partisan tone, pointing to the last election, where he cited scandals in the Senate and disenfranchisement from the "unfair election act" and scandals that happened in "violation of the elections act."
"That's why [the Conservatives ] lost," he said, and pointed to a need to modernize the system.
Reid pushed back on the newly formed electoral reform committee – it was signed off on by the PMO, with a timeline determined by the Liberals, a proposal to be decided by the Liberal dominated committee, then ultimately to be decided upon by the Liberal cabinet, leading to a biased result. Why can't Canadians vote yes or no on it?
Holland retorted they're open to working with other MPs.
"I don't accept the cynical approach from the member suggesting from the outset it's impossible to find consensus," he said.
Conservative Blake Richards followed up with a similar line of questions, about why they stacked the committee. "The fix is already in," he said.
Holland suggested the Conservatives should "try consultations."
"They might like it," he said, in a vague knock at the last government's reputation for heavy-handed, centralized decision making.
Bloc MP Luc Theriault continued the referendum push later on. In French, he said by the Liberals' logic, Quebec would be able to gain independence without a referendum. So will he put the Clarity Act in the garbage?
Holland dodged and said they've gone further than the normal committee process by including the Greens and Bloc at the committee.
Newsmaking exchange
The Magnitsky bill was another hot topic Friday, following a decision by Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion to reject an all-party effort to establish a Magnitsky Act, which would enact sanctions on Russian human rights violators.
Conservative Tom Lukiwski suggested it was another broken campaign promise, and NDP MP Irene Matthyssen later followed up – how can the Liberals "keep claiming Canada is back" if they keep breaking their promises and cast doubt on their commitment to upholding human rights?
Stephane Dion replied to Lukiwski that one of the reasons the previous Conservative government never acted on it was "they knew that the Immigration and Refugee Act already has the power to ban these individuals from entering into Canada," saying they instead hid the truth.
Most shamelessly politicized question and answer
Conservative Health Critic Colin Carrie said "sadly, the Prime Minister's priority is not healthcare," and that the $3 billion dollars for palliative care, promised but not found in the budget, has become another broken Liberal promise as they "rush into their assisted suicide agenda."
Parliamentary secretary to the minister of health Kamal Khera replied via talking point: there's more to do on end of life care and it will be done through the Health Accord negotiations.
"As part of the new health accord, our government has committed to providing $3 billion over the next four years to improve home care and this includes palliative care," she said.

Driver of rig that crashed into Tracy Morgan limo seeks delay in negligence suit

NEWARK — The former Wal-Mart truck driver accused of slamming into a limo on the New Jersey Turnpike in June, critically injuring comedian-actor Tracy Morgan and killing a friend of the Saturday Night Live star, is seeking to put the brakes on a civil lawsuit in the case.
Kevin Roper, who has been charged in state court with vehicular homicide and four counts of assault by auto, has filed to delay a separate negligence lawsuit Morgan filed against Wal-Mart, arguing the pending civil proceedings would violate his rights under the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination.
Roper is not named as a party in the civil matter, but there are allegations of improper actions on his part contained in the civil complaint.
"The civil discovery process is likely to result in forcing Roper to testify about his actions, or have those actions described by others, to which he could not defend against, short of waiving his right against self-incrimination," argued his attorney in a court filing made on Friday.
David Glassman of North Marlton, who also serves as Roper's criminal lawyer in the case brought by the Middlesex County Prosecutor's office, said depositions of witnesses and other forms of civil discovery "will, without question, provide information that would not otherwise be discoverable in the criminal matter, and provide examples of Roper's strategy in defense of the criminal matter."
Glassman did not immediately return a request for comment, nor did attorneys for Morgan.
Morgan, the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" star, is still recovering from the crash, in which he suffered a broken leg and broken ribs. The accident killed his friend, fellow comedian James McNair, who was also in the limo van with three others as Morgan was returning from a performance at Dover Downs Casino in Delaware.
Authorities said Roper failed to see slow-moving traffic ahead of his tractor-trailer as he passed through Cranbury on the Turnpike, slamming into the rear of Morgan's van and causing a chain reaction that involved four more vehicles, including another rig. A criminal complaint alleges that the 35-year-old Roper, of Jonesboro, Ga., had not slept for more than 24 hours before the early morning accident.
The civil negligence lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Newark by Morgan and others who were riding in the van, charges that Wal-Mart should have known, that Roper's hours were not in compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and that he had been awake for more than 24 consecutive hours immediately before the accident. A preliminary report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board said Roper had been traveling 65 miles an hour in a 45-mile-an-hour zone on the Turnpike before the crash, according to his rig's data recorder.
The retailer, in court filings responding to the negligence lawsuit, has faulted Morgan and his entourage for their failure to wear seat belts, asserting that if all had been using safety restraints, "all or a portion of the injuries could have been diminished or minimized."
The request to delay the civil proceedings will be decided on Dec. 15 before U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp.

Statement on Hostage Recovery Activities
Statement by NSC Spokesperson Ned Price on the Status Report on the Implementation of Executive Order 13698 Hostage Recovery Activities
From WhiteHouse.gov- Last year, President Obama ordered comprehensive updates to U.S. hostage recovery policy and signed an Executive Order to organize more effectively our efforts so we are best postured both to bring home U.S. nationals held abroad and support their families. Since then, we have brought under one roof law enforcement, intelligence, and military experts at the Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell, where they work side-by-side to develop and pursue recovery strategies. Moreover, the President designated a Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, who coordinates our diplomatic efforts abroad. The interagency Hostage Response Group is ensuring that all of the elements put into place last year are working together as a team and receiving any guidance and oversight that they need.
To ensure that the U.S. Government implemented these important reforms effectively and continued to identify areas for improvement, the Executive Order required that a status report be completed one year after it was signed. That report was produced this summer by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and after discussions with key stakeholders on how best to incorporate their feedback the report is being made public today. The report concludes that last year's institutional and policy changes have had a positive impact on hostage recovery efforts. Where the report identifies work yet to be done or improvements still to be made, departments and agencies have already begun work to implement the recommendations and will continue to seek ways to improve our hostage recovery efforts.
While we know that we cannot prevent every hostage situation, we are fully committed to the safe recovery of our fellow citizens and the provision of unfailing support to their families. With the reforms we have made over the last year, the U.S. Government is now well postured to ensure that hostage recovery activities will remain an enduring priority from administration to administration.

If you need cosmetic dentistry in Brockville, you and your dentists have a lot of options! Depending on the type of work you need to be done, and the current condition of your teeth, there is a range of cosmetic procedures which could be used to restore your smile to perfect condition. Today, our Boardwalk Dental Care team takes a look at some of the options, and when they're used.
This is one of the most common options when someone has yellowed or discolored teeth but little or no physical damage. Teeth whitening can be done using take home custom made whitening trays. A whitening gel is placed into the trays and they are worn either during the day or at night while you sleep. Teeth are restored to a much lighter shade.
Veneers are a great all-around choice for covering up minor damage, such as small cracks, as well as reshaping teeth with noticeable gaps. Much like wood veneers, dental veneers are specially-crafted layers of porcelain which are glued to the front of teeth to improve their appearance.
One of the least-expensive options in cosmetic dentistry, composite bonding is used to reshape damaged or decayed teeth. The dentist drills out the decayed elements then sculpts a replacement surface from a plastic or resin material which is bonded directly to the tooth. These are somewhat similar to inlays or onlays, but less strong.
When the tooth is completely gone or damaged beyond repair, implants are the answer. Any remaining tooth material is removed, and a small screw is surgically implanted into the jaw. Then a replica tooth and crown are crafted and attached to the screw. Once the surrounding bone and gum tissue fuse to the implant, it's nearly indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
