New biomarkers identified to detect consumption of emerging illicit drug
A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has come up with a new solution to boost the surveillance of designer drug abuse. Led by Professor Eric Chan from the NUS Department of Pharmacy, the team has identified three new urinary biomarkers that could be used to detect consumption of ADB-BUTINACA, an emerging synthetic cannabinoid which is a type of new psychoactive substance (NPS). The innovative approach used to identify the biomarkers can be applied to other existing and new synthetic cannabinoids.
NPS are drugs designed to mimic the effects of illegal substances such as cannabis, cocaine, heroin, "Ice," Ecstacy and LSD. The intention of the clandestine laboratories to introduce synthetic cannabinoids with different chemical structures is to try to circumvent legislative bans.
Over the past two years, users of NPS made up the third largest proportion of drug abusers in Singapore, while synthetic cannabinoids have dominated Singapore's NPS market for the past four years. As most synthetic cannabinoids are extensively metabolized in the body after consumption, they become virtually undetectable in urine samples.
Commenting on the significance of the team's research, Prof Chan said, "Prior to our study, the metabolism and urinary biomarkers of ADB-BUTINACA were unclear. Our discovery and unique methodology offer assistance to the forensic fraternity who is constantly being challenged by the emergence of novel synthetic cannabinoids, and can also bring benefits to the international public communities to tackle the increasing abuse of this synthetic cannabinoid. This will bring us closer to the goal of having a drug-free world."
The study, which was carried out in collaboration with the Analytical Toxicology Laboratory of Singapore's Health Sciences Authority, was first published in the journal Clinical Chemistry on 13 August 2021.
New biomarkers for accurate detection of synthetic drug abuse
ADB-BUTINACA is a new synthetic cannabinoid that was first identified in Europe in 2019, and it entered Singapore's drug scene last year. Although three existing metabolites of ADB-BUTINACA are available as reference standards for routine forensic monitoring, they have been found to be absent or detected at lower concentrations in some urine samples of abusers. This created an impetus to identify other potential metabolites for use as urinary biomarkers for the cannabinoid's consumption.
Instead of using the conventional and more time-consuming method of chemically synthesizing metabolites of ADB-BUTINACA, Prof Chan and his team introduced an innovative method to identify the cannabinoid's unique metabolites using the concepts of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics.
The team synthesized key metabolites of ADB-BUTINACA using human liver enzymes in the laboratory for investigating their disposition and identifying novel biomarker metabolites in urine. From their studies, a total of 15 metabolites of ADB-BUTINACA and their respective pathways of biotransformation in the body were identified for the first time using this method.
Of the 15 new metabolites, the researchers proposed four as urinary metabolite biomarkers due to their metabolic stability, including one metabolite where its reference standard is currently available. A panel comprising either one or a combination of these four newly-established urinary biomarkers was developed for diagnosing the consumption of ADB-BUTINACA.

Q: trying to apply the function plyr::ldply on lists to convert into a data.frame of differing number of rows I am trying to apply the ldply function from the plyr package to convert lists to a data frame but I keep running into an error. I apply the following line:
final <- plyr::ldply(data, data.frame)

Which returns this error:
Error:
Error in (function (..., row.names = NULL, check.rows = FALSE, check.names = TRUE,  :
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 1, 0

Does the lists have to have the same number of rows? I thought since I am trying to bind the rows then only the columns would need to be equal in each list.

EDIT:
Okay I realise the problem is probably down to both elements in the list having different column names. Running:
x <- data$0000001750$information
y <- data$0000001750$filings
gives two different data.frames. So I think it is best to combine all the information data frames and then all the filings data frames, so there will be 2 data frames.

A: I think this solved my issue now:
info <- do.call("rbind", lapply(data, "[[", 1))
filing <- do.call("rbind", lapply(data, "[[", 2))

However I would like to merge the two datasets together.
I think this works:
x <- filing %>%
  rownames_to_column(., "cik") %>%
  mutate(cik = gsub("\\..*", "", cik)) %>%
  left_join(., info, by = "cik")

A: Actually, you may want to reverse the order in your dplyr::left_join since info contains more clk than filing. The latter maintains two empty data frames in original listing.
library(dplyr)
library(tibble)

info <- do.call("rbind", lapply(data, "[[", 1))
filing <- do.call("rbind", lapply(data, "[[", 2))

final_df_op <- info %>%
                  left_join(filing %>%
                            tibble::rownames_to_column(., "cik") %>%
                            mutate(cik = gsub("\\..*", "", cik)), by = "cik")

str(final_df_op)
# 'data.frame': 51 obs. of  30 variables:
#  $ name               : chr  "AAR CORP" "AAR CORP" "AAR CORP" "AAR CORP" ...
#  $ cik                : chr  "0000001750" "0000001750" "0000001750" "0000001750" ...
#  $ fiscal_year_end    : chr  "0531" "0531" "0531" "0531" ...
# ...

Should you be interested, consider the base R counterpart with following changes:

*

*Instead of lapply, use mapply to iterate elementwise through the data items and their corresponding names;

*Run transform to add a column for cik by corresponding list name;

*Merge both objects with all.x=TRUE for left join specification.
Base R
info <- do.call("rbind", mapply(function(d, n) transform(d[[2]], cik=n),
                                data, names(data), SIMPLIFY=FALSE, USE.NAMES=FALSE))

# TRY CATCH TO ACCOUNT FOR ZERO-ROW DF ERRORS
filing <- do.call("rbind", mapply(function(d, n)
                                  tryCatch(transform(d[[2]], cik=n),
                                           error = function(e) NA),
                                  data, names(data), SIMPLIFY=FALSE, USE.NAMES=FALSE))

# LEFT JOIN MERGE
final_df <- merge(info, filing, by="cik", all.x=TRUE)

str(final_df)
# 'data.frame': 51 obs. of  30 variables:
#  $ cik                : chr  "0000001750" "0000001750" "0000001750" "0000001750" ...
#  $ name               : chr  "AAR CORP" "AAR CORP" "AAR CORP" "AAR CORP" ...

Interesting. I haven't heard him mentioned as a draft possibility. I'm not even sure he worked out at the pro day. He played really well last year and may be one of our most improved players over the past decade or so.
A tough road to hoe for any academy grad. I hope he gets a good look from somebody or more than one somebody.


Brands understand traditional loyalty. They've been doing it for a long time. It's what they know. At one time, it may have been effective, but that's no longer the case. And yet, some brands seem to be ignoring all the tell-tale signs that they need to rethink their approach. In this blog post we're calling out some of the most common loyalty mistakes and challenges brands face and talking about what to do instead. Keep reading to learn more!
Many brands treat loyalty like a box that needs to be checked rather than leveraging strategies to actually motivate customers to pledge allegiance to their brand over a competitor's. Customers aren't moved by generic, one-size-fits-all loyalty tactics. Mass discounts merely train customers to wait for sales.
Rather than sending customers discounts that aren't relevant to them or sending too many discounts for items that a customer would have bought full price, brands need to start thinking about how they can show their loyalty to customers, not the other way around.
The level of personalization customers are looking for requires marketers to leverage data to deliver relevant recommendations, offers and rewards. Most brands are already collecting this data at all customer touchpoints; however, they don't have the ability to unlock it in real time, unify and gain insight about what will drive customers to purchase more frequently.
With a 360-degree view of the customer, brands can create a tailored loyalty program based on individual behaviors that drives incremental high-value behaviors, frequency and spend.
Marketers need the ability to seize the moment when it really matters, but many brands lack the ability to engage customers with relevant rewards at the moment of impact.
An effective loyalty strategy depends on delivering great engagements at the right time (and of course, on the right channel). For example: when a customer enters a store, send a personalized message to the member's phone. Maybe it's a push message reminding the person to redeem a reward by placing a mobile order. The member then makes a mobile order and pays for the purchase while at the store.
For brands whose business premise is based on speed, like quick service and fast casual restaurants, delivering rewards too late is a big problem because in order to motivate a recent guest to return, the person needs to be rewarded immediately so that he associates the reward with the previous visit.
Rewards aren't the only thing that's generic about most loyalty programs. Many organizations only choose or have the ability to reward customers for how much money they spend. These brands are missing out on the opportunity to differentiate their program from their competitors' and increase their base of frequent, repeat customers.
In addition to spend-based rewards, brands should incentivize and reward customers for behaviors such as visiting the storefront again, exploring a new product offering, or something else that might indicate a high likelihood of sales down the road.
At many organizations, service agents lack insight into each customer's preferences and level of brand engagement, and as a result, cannot respond appropriately in a timely manner.
Brands can overcome this by unifying loyalty data and customer information into one view. With an enriched 360-degree view, customer service reps gain the ability to award points for purchases, manage a reward store, encourage status and tiering, manage closed loop offers and run refer-a-friend programs.
This view also enables customer service agents access to real-time customer information, including points balance, tier and status and recent customer actions.
Overcoming these challenges requires marketers to buy into a new loyalty philosophy -- one based on a fair value exchange between brands and customers. When customers give brands access to their information (preferences, habits, behaviors, etc.) they expect brands to leverage that information to create better, more personalized experiences. Sounds great, right? And it is, but here's the disclaimer: achieving this evolved loyalty paradigm is not possible without unified, actionable data.

If you've recently lost a significant amount of weight, congratulations! You are on the path towards a healthier lifestyle. With weight loss, you may have noticed that part of your body's skin may be loose or sagging. Maybe it's extra skin around your midsection or loose skin under your arms – no matter where it is, you may find it annoying and want to find a way to tighten that loose skin. While there is no one miracle cure to help tighten your skin, here are some important nutritional tips that can help support skin toning over time.
Why is my skin loose?
Skin is very elastic and as we move and grow, it moves and grows along with us. Skin is an organ that is composed of various cells. Each layer of skin has different types of cells that are made up connective tissues, vessels, and fibers that will stretch over time. When you lose weight, especially a significant amount, the elastic part of your skin will have to adapt to your new shape. If you're finding that it's hard to get your skin to shrink back to a new size, there are several factors that come into play: nutrition, age, dehydration, sun exposure, and more. All of these things can affect what your skin looks like after you lose weight.
As you age, the elasticity of your skin will change, too. Eating right is one of the best ways to help tighten your skin. Collagen and elastin are some of the main ingredients needed to keep your skin healthy and plump. Protein rich foods are important to help tighten skin, so increasing your diet in this area is important. Foods like milk, cottage cheese, beans, seeds, fish, and tofu all contain collagen and elastin as well as oil that are all key components of having healthy skin. After working out, it is important to have at least 100 to 200 protein calories right afterward.
Another way to keep your skin healthy is simply by taking care of it. Stay away from harsh chemicals, limit your sun exposure, don't overdo it by tanning in tanning booths excessively, and exfoliate your skin with sea salts and mineral baths on a regular basis. In addition, there are some skin tightening creams on the market that can help hydrate your skin and stimulate elastin and collagen formation, while offering vital nutrients and vitamins.
You only get one set of skin during your lifetime, so taking care of it is important, especially after you have done the hard work of losing weight!

BREAKING: Television Executives Move To Cancel Thursday Night Football Games
The NFL National Anthem protests are coming to bite the NFL right in the butt.
These players have decided that kneeling during the National Anthem is getting a point across about "racial inequality" in America.
Network executives have decided that something must be done in order to put an end to the rising tension between viewers and those participating in NFL protests. The ratings are horrible!
They have decided that there is only one real solution to the problem, and that is getting rid of the games in order to stop the "over-saturation" of football on American television.
The idea to trim Thursday Night Football from 18 games a season to only eight was first reported by Sports Business Journal and was part of a plan to reverse the ratings crash
Mike Mulvihill, a Fox Sports vice president, told SBJ that the problem isn't that there is too much NFL on TV, but that there is too much football all the way around — including college.
"The rise in football availability is pretty dramatic," Mulvihill said. "This is what drives fragmentation in every area of television. … You can argue whether there's greater or lesser interest in the game of football than there was ten years ago. But clearly, whatever that interest is, it's being spread out over quite a few more windows than it was ten years ago."
What do you think? The low ratings are due to the "over-saturation" of football in TV or the stupid national anthem protests?

Taylor Swift will drop the fourth song from her forthcoming album "Reputation" tonight at midnight E.T., the single announced on social media this morning. The song is apparently called "Call It What You Want" (unless that's some cryptic directive) and the post includes what seems to be a lyric quote: "Holding my breath / Slowly I said / 'You don't need to save me … But would you run away with me?'… 'Yes.'"
Based on that snippet, the song may continue the sort of love-struck vibe of "Gorgeous," her most recent and characteristic song from the album, which dropped two weeks ago. It follows the less-familiar-sounding songs "Look What You Made Me Do" and "Ready for It," which dropped in August and September. "Reputation" is scheduled for a Nov. 10 release.

Also this morning, ABC announced that it will air a "special performance" of an unspecified new song sometime during "Scandal" on Nov. 9 — the day before the album's release — followed by an extended version the following day. The network emphasizes that the appearance will be the singer's first performance of a new song in three years and her first television appearance in promotion of her sixth studio album.
While a full "Reputation" tour has not yet been announced, the singer will appear at at three holiday radio concerts: San Jose, Calif. radio station 99.7 Now!'s Poptopia on Dec. 2, Chicago's B96 Jingle Bash on Dec. 7, and New York's Z100 Jingle Ball on Dec. 8.
While the performances are likely to be brief and only include a handful of songs — the concerts are teen-targeted, multi-act radio station holiday shows and also feature acts like Ed Sheeran, Fifth Harmony, Backstreet Boys and Khalid — they do represent Swift's first concerts since a special Super Bowl week show in Houston in February, and the first she's scheduled to perform after the release of "Reputation."

The Soviet Union Flag: History, Meaning, and Significance
Known across the world for representing the ideals of communism, the flag of the Soviet Union has an interesting past. In this Historyplex article, we shall look at some interesting facts, such as its history, and the meaning and significance behind the symbols of the flag of the Soviet Union.
Home / Uncategorized / The Soviet Union Flag: History, Meaning, and Significance
Many historians have theorized that the hammer and sickle design of the Soviet Union flag was influenced by the crook and flail that were held by Egyptian pharaohs in a similar crossed manner, as depicted on the sarcophagus.
The flag of the Soviet Union was the official national flag of the state from 1923 to 1991. It was inspired by the struggles of the common man during the brutal Russian Revolution of 1917. Today, internationally, it is considered as the symbol of communism.
Flag Design
The design of the flag of the Soviet Union has a solid red field, with a unique golden emblem of a crossed golden hammer and sickle, and a gold-bordered red star above this in the upper hoist corner. Officially, the back of the flag is just a red field. However, the flags were usually weaved through, which meant that the symbols would appear on the other side in the reverse order.
The height-to-length ratio of the flag is 1:2
The hammer and sickle come in a square, whose sides are ¼ of the flag's height. The tip of the sickle is to be in the upper part of the square, while the handles of the hammer and sickle should be in the bottom corners of the square.
If a circle was drawn around the tips of the five-point star, its diameter would be ⅛ the flag's height.
The distance from the flagstaff to the center of the hammer, sickle, and star is ⅓ the height of the flag.
The distance from the top of the flag to the center of the star is ⅛ the flag's height.
Flag Meaning
So what did the Soviet Union flag represent? Although the color red has always had positivity attributed to it in Russian culture, in the Soviet Union flag, the red field symbolizes the blood of the workers and farmers that was spilled during their struggle for liberation in the 1917 Russian Revolution, by honoring the red flag of the Paris Commune of 1871.
The hammer symbolizes urban industrial workers, while the sickle symbolizes agricultural workers, who together as the working-class form the Soviet state. The golden border of the red star represents the life and energy from the sun, filled with the sacrifices of the Russian people. The five points of the star indicate the five known continents of the time, where the revolution was to spread. The star also represented the communist party, and its position over the sickle and hammer symbolizes its leadership over the working classes, in bringing them together to build communism.
Flag History
Initially, during the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks considered a plain, red flag, to bring together the working class of the nation against the autocratic government. This flag was commonly associated with socialist movements all across Europe. However, after Lenin and Marx became victorious, the flag started to have communist overtones. To this end, the first red Soviet flag with the hammer and sickle was adopted in December 1922, at the First Congress of Soviets of USSR. In 1955, the flag was made official after a few minor changes on the hammer's handle and the sickle's shape. In 1980, a final was made, in which the red color was changed into a lighter shade. This flag remained the official national flag till the breakup of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991, where it was changed to the present day tricolor.
Other Facts About the Flag
Initially, while forming the SFSR (Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) Vladimir Lenin and other members of the new government considered including a sword in the flag, but the idea was rejected, as it was thought that the symbolism was too aggressive.
The first draft of the Soviet flag was to have an unusual ratio of 4:1. This was later changed to the more familiar 2:1 ratio.
The Soviet Union was the first nation with a socialist government, and the Soviet flag inspired several other countries which aspired for similar governance. The national flags of many nations, such as Afghanistan, Mongolia, Congo, People's Republic of China, Albania, Angola, Korea, and Vietnam were inspired by the Soviet flag, and had a lot of similarity between them.
Though the flag of the Soviet Union may look like a basic combination of colors and symbols, each color and shape on it had a deep meaning, and meant a lot to the people of the time. Although it is not in use as a national flag today, it continues to inspire people and movements with similar ideologies.

I am working on cleaning… but also decluttering / putting things away, and also taxes this weekend. I am loving it when a surface looks better than when I started!!! My floor is clean of laundry, I straightened a dresser-top. There are more surfaces to contend with for sure!
I am having a hard time figuring out how to get rid of things. It is so putzy. I have some things I could sell on Ebay but is it a good use of my time?
Maybe I should do a little at a time, but then the stuff hangs around so much longer. What do you think?
@LadyDriver - have you considered giving those cleaning supplies to perhaps a mission or women's shelter that could possibly use them?
I have already separated and sent along the stuff they want. Nobody wants 1/3 full containers of 10 year old mystery brand fiberglass polisher. Old enough to be ineffective, young enough to be toxic.
ahhh LadyDriver, I see what you mean. The metro area we used to live in had a 'toxic dump' kind of day where you could bring in half cans of paint, oil, cleaning, pharmaceuticals, etc. to be disposed of properly. Anything like that in a city near you?
Yep, we have a household hazmat day quarterly at the local transfer station. I've got a box full of lightbulbs, dead batteries, and other junk ready to go.
Maybe use the blue recycling bags? They are sort of see-through. To be even more careful, use the ones that tie for recycling, and the ones that have a drawstring for storage? They are strong, I use mine for shredded paper and that gets quite heavy.
I've been on vacation so no decluttering. I did manage to do very little shopping while away, and the few things I bought were all bought with purpose. I also managed to not bring back all the paper that I accumulated on the week away. Paperwork for the flights home (bookings, boarding passes) have been shredded and passport is in its regular place. It feels good.
I got a nice free sweatshirt for opening a new bank account. (Because I wanted to use their coin counter without the 9% fee). I was prepared not to take it if it was ugly at least, lol, but that was sure not decluttering. But I hope this makes up for it- today I got two things taken by freecyclers; I donated a box of things and 2 paper bags of clothes last week. And filled a trash bag with trash at the same time I was filling the box of donatable things. I was sorting through my old stuff from my parents' house.
I am starting to really feel comfy getting rid of stuff now. I think within six months I will be down to my favorite things.
After cleaning out my inlaw's home and my brother's home after they passed? We BUMPED our donations up and our buying down so as to not have our children E.V.E.R. having to go thru so much stuff if something were to happen to us.
I know what you mean. I went to a yard sale run by a 93 year old woman's 70 year old daughter. The sheer volume was exhausting. I didn't even want to consider what had to get tossed. The mother had so much in the way of china, linens and books it blew my mind. Her daughter was super organised and fortunately had friends who stepped in to help her. I don;t want to be doing that at 70 hers old for anyone or have anyone have to do it for me.
My parents have been letting things go for years which makes our lives a lot easier I must say. Even so we are about to embark on stage two of a major clean out before they move to assisted living or such like and it will take a lot of my energy.
That is inspiring. Not only have you decluttered but you have had the energy to deal with putting all that stuff on sale and dealing with the buyers…Congratulations!!!!
So! I needed up at a yard sale by mistake, sort of. I was with friends who were going to a yard sale preview at a fancy house and I asked to join them to see the house. Of course I was repulsed by the piles of stuff and simultaneously my eyes were looking, looking, looking for something for me amongst the high end china and doodads. Old habits die hard.
I bought an outdoor table and chairs for $20 that need some paint and that we can definitely use. I also bought a needlepoint rug for $10 that will fit nowhere! However it may be useful in staging my parents' house for sale so all is not lost.
When my DH took me to pick up the furniture I asked him about something else and he firmly said that perhaps we should repair all the broken stuff we have before bringing anything else into the house that needs mending. Thank goodness for him!
I have had a pattern in the past of buying things that are cheap and damaged and I think that if I had saved that money and bought just one or two things of good quality I would be very happy. I am putting a list in my phone of the few things I am interested in acquiring to complete our house (curtains for one room, etc).
No more yard sales!!!! Now to get out the brass brush and the spray paint to make my new furniture ready for use!
Yes wintersun on the 'broken stuff' - I'm a bit of a rehabber myself so I've enjoyed fixing things over the years. However the wiser more prudent track is to need less, buy quality (at a discount if possible), take care of it, and leave the fixables to someone else just now.
Nice idea to keep a list.
I culled our winter gear today. Even with the mountains of snow we're getting, we can only wear one pair of gloves, one hat, and one neck warmer at a time.
Wintersun, cl can be a hassle, but also can be real easy. I installed the cl app on my phone so when I walked by something and thought "we should get rid of that" I just pulled out my phone took a pic and quickly listed it.
No thanks IKEA, I know a much better way!
1 shirt to charity, 3 books sold on marktplaats and got rid of some paperwork today.
I'm enjoying selling things online too. I hadn't done it before. I may be addicted now. Decluttering and extra income at the same time! I don't have nearly enough quality things to sell to make 3000 dollars, but I'm thrilled with 200 so far this month with minimal effort.
Sold 1 "sortof" antique dining table and a true antique church pew I inherited from family. Craigslist and patience equals $395 in my pocket. Have maybe another $600 in other pieces to sell... All funds go to paying down mortgage to pay me interest every year the rest of my life.
Today I brought 2 bags of stuff to the trift shop. Glad I am really rid of that stuff now, instead of leaving it in the shed.
Also I have inspired my mother and sister. Both are now trying to get rid of some stuff!
Selling some craft stuff I'm not ever going to use for $45. The important thing is to get it out of the house....I'm not really making money. I mean, I bought the stuff for $75 and am selling for $45. $30 of my cash (= life energy) down the tubes, but at least it won't be taking up physical and emotional space any more.
Stuff you don't use = sunk costs anyway.
Don't let the sunk cost fallacy keep you from getting rid of stuff that clutters your life.
I bought the stuff for $75 and am selling for $45.
Recovering 60% of the purchase price for obsolete stuff is actually really good imo.
Went through a box of candles. Discovered a candle that was almost gone, so I'm working on burning it done now. Some candle holders to the donation bin as well. I'll also be giving my mom some wax scraps for making candles when I see her tonight.
I've been trying to avoid buying new candles for a few years now so I can work down my pile, but have had more given to me by people culling their collections or given as a Christmas gift.
To add, we are moving in a few months and I'm trying to reduce clutter at home before the move.
Lesson for the future: never buy a new book before you've finished the previous one.
I'm in the process of getting rid of a lot of books, too. Easier than I thought. Keep the few that changed my life, ditch the rest.
I helped my mom thin out her clothes/hats/purses/shoes yesterday. She has a lot of everything!! Im so proud of her. She got rid of about 50%! Many many donations that I dumped for her. Also many bags to potentially sell on consignment stores near by ( she has mostly really nice stuff). Next time we'll tackle books.
Gained 12 square feet of floor space and $100 by selling a piece of exercise equipment that was not being used. Turns out I like body-weight exercising at home it's more quiet and there is nothing to dust!
Score one for body weight training!! Congrats!
I was pretty unsentimental with my wedding dress and donated it last year, 2 1/2 years after we got married. My dress wasn't a traditional one and I'd only spent a few hundred dollars on it. And it had a small stain and I was never going to wear it again, so why keep it?
That said, I'm probably more ambivalent about my wedding day than most. Don't get me wrong - I'm super happy I married DH and have no regrets there. But ... I was deathly ill (in hindsight) around that time and had 9 days in hospital when we got back from our honeymoon. That's the super short version. The only momento I need from our wedding day is a handful of photos.
I donated mine to an organization that gives proms and wedding dresses to people who can't afford them. My Mom's friend was closely tied to the organization, so she was able to tell me about the person who got my dress. I could not be happier with my decision. I did this a few months after the wedding.
I sometimes wonder if I should have kept it, or had it made into throw pillows, or a christening gown (except 10 years later we still don't have kids) but knowing how happy it made someone else, I do not regret my decision at all.
And I LOVED my wedding dress. It was the most beautiful dress I've ever seen, it was not inexpensive either- other than the husband part, it was the #1 favorite thing about my wedding. So I was pretty attached to the idea of it, but there was no need for me to keep it. I'd much rather someone else enjoy it as much as I did.
It's a pretty personal decision though.
Mine was a very beautiful beautiful dress . & I donated it a couple years after the divorce. I had thought about using it in my sewing projects, but finally decided it made more sense to donate for someone who needed an inexpensive wedding dress. Obviously, the divorce makes my story a bit different. I could see why a person would want to keep the dress also, but really only for (possibly tailored) use at a future renewal of vows, or as I had planned, a project. Of course, any decision is valid. If not sure, maybe makes more sense to hold onto it.
My mother still has mine nearly 25 years later. Typical <eye roll>. I'm not sure what the issue is, I think she thinks I won't look after it….
I think she thinks I won't look after it….
My wedding dress was not traditional, and I still wear it from time to time. So, I'll be keeping that!
Me too. Vaguely wedding-ish but still wearable for many other occasions.
I threw out 3 old bras today. They weren't on high rotation but I still occasionally wore them. I was about to put one on today and realised the elastic was all hard and yukky, and there were slight stains on all of them, presumably from something perishing. So, into the bin they went. Normally I'd donate old clothes, but these weren't wearable.
Donated a box of books and three boxes of clothes today. I think I'm pretty close to where I want to be with both categories.
But now I'm thinking I should dump my wedding dress. It's non-traditional, and 3 sizes too big for me now, so not like I'm going to be wearing it again.
I dumped two bras today as well, for similar reasons.
I hadn't thought about donating my wedding dress, what a great idea. Or do I want to use the silk fabric to line lamp shades???? Hmmm.
I am keeping a list of things that enter our house that are either not consumable or will not be consumed soon. I feel some delight in seeing how short it is.
I am making a list of things to use up that I am not willing to donate: food, supplements, fabric, craft supplies, etc. I think I might benefit from setting goals in that area too.
Finished up a candle today.
2 old, yucky mattresses and 2 broken box springs are out on the curb for a special pickup by our trash pickup company. Each household is allowed to request this free service for up to 4 items per year. So happy to see them go!! Would have been $20 per item if we took them to the city dump ... crazy!
More and more stuff gone. Excess towels, clothing, books sold, bike parts sold.
Books and DVD's traded for good local beers.
Can't say I've missed any of the stuff I got rid of yet. Even funnier: I don't even remember every item.
When looking for last year's tax paperwork to check a number, we found a bag's worth of paper that we did not need to hang onto, so that went to the recycling.
Also tossed an old sound card and a pile of floppy disks. Possibly we could have ebayed the floppy disks, but I'm not sure it would be worth the effort.
Does it count that I have shredded loads of old documents recently?
Cleared out a four-drawer filing cabinet and consolidated down to one large and one small bin, between shredding, recycling and taking a few professional files to the office.
Cleared out that drawer with orphan socks.
10 minutes of work, and one more drawer that can actually be used instead of just being there filled with clutter.


It shows that alliances play a key role in driving such policies. However, most actors who support such policies have priorities other than climate change mitigation. Their support for such policies comes from concerns with securing energy, building competitive green industries, creating jobs or providing a basis for future public revenue. This insight is not just of analytical but also of political importance. It means that climate-relevant policies can draw on support from a wide constituency – not just those with green convictions. Such analysis provides the stepping-stone for understanding the political feasibility of low-carbon transformations.

Ryen Russillo confirms he'll be staying at ESPN, still hosting radio show
Reports about his reduced role turned out to be inaccurate.
ESPNBy Alex Putterman on 04/27/2017 04/27/2017
Amid the mass layoffs at ESPN on Wednesday came a report from Hollywood Reporter that several big-name ESPN personalities, including Ryen Russillo, would be taking on reduced roles moving forward.
When Russillo's radio partner Danny Kanell announced he had been let go, it seemed to figure that Russillo was in trouble.
But as it turned out, Russillo was neither laid off nor reduced, and on Thursday he tweeted that he will continue to host his radio show on weekday afternoons and that he will return to the air Monday.
Ok…Im staying and I'll be on the radio Monday 1ET, just like the last 8 years…
— Russillo (@ryenarussillo) April 27, 2017
Russillo tweeted that a rival agency had planted an incorrect report about him and others being reduced, for reasons unclear.
The reports of "a reduced role" were planted by an agency that should be worrying about clients, not me. Im not going anywhere. Working more
ESPN guru Jim Miller had reported the same story on Wednesday.
Toxic move of day: Agency out for retribution leaks incorrect names for @espn list to reporters who run with it. You've got to be kidding.
— jamesmiller (@JimMiller) April 26, 2017
Given the timing of Russillo's announcement that he's safe, it sounds as if maybe he agreed to renegotiate his contract with ESPN and settled on new terms Thursday.
Anyway, he will apparently be holding onto his radio show, though it obviously won't be called Russillo & Kanell anymore. We've heard no word yet if Russillo will get a co-host or who it will be, but he'll likely be flying solo next week.
Russillo said he will address the situation on his show Monday. He's a good radio host who's been part of ESPN's lineup for a long time, first with Scott Van Pelt and then with Kanell, so it's good to hear he's sticking around.

Twentyyears back at the point when I to start with met Vidia he was considered the most scaring figure in the scholarly world.
He would send columnists pressing after two questions in the event that he felt they had not read his works. At the point when I went to meet him at his home in Wiltshire his spouse Nadira took feel sorry for on me what's more, inquired him to be kind.
And he was. For the next 20 years. While he had a notoriety as fractious what's more, fearsome what's more, his perceptions what's more, writing were as sharp as glass, his vulnerability, tenderness what's more, motions of liberality were similarly moving.
For me that liberality included having two books, counting the excellent A Twist In The River, devoted to me.
His books investigated personality what's more, loss, defilement what's more, extraordinary sorts of exile. What's more, he was frequently himself the subject, the poor kid from Trinidad who made his way on a grant to Oxford with one goal: to write.
And he never felt that it was easy. He talked of the battle what's more, the practically outlandish errand of making words be more than simple words what's more, letters to make abstract masterpieces.
Last night I was called to his bedside as he slipped away. His spouse Nadira what's more, his received girl Maleeha held his hand as he delicately relaxed his last, as I read so anyone might hear Tennysons Crossing The Bar, one of his top pick poems.
It was a tranquil end.
We had had a few noteworthy times together. He had worked so steadily hard, relinquishing all social life in his early days, that he was amazed that he found in the last two decades that he cherished going out. He was pleased to be made a part of Harrys Bar, the Mayfair eating club, what's more, he would continuously quip that it was as it were there that he needed to have a martini.
He found it inconceivable not to be candid. I dont need to read Proust. It is for idlers or, then again individuals who need to sound educated, he would say, laughing. What's more, funniness while looking askance at the world was an basic part of him.
Yes, he welcomed controversy, what's more, at the point when Salman Rushdie had the fatwa against him he cleverly portrayed it as a extreme frame of abstract criticism. In numerous ways, Vidia was like Salim, the legend in A Twist In The River, a man without side. He was the spectator who changed the way we look at the world.
He was given to his second spouse Nadira who was continuously defensive what's more, life-enhancing for him, taking him out what's more, guaranteeing that his abstract inheritance was looked after.
V S Naipaul, one of the most convincing scholarly figures of the past 50 years, has passed on matured 85.
The Trinidad-born creator (left in 1973), who emigrated to England as a youthful man, created a few perfect works of art of fiction what's more, non-fiction as a novelist, travel author what's more, essayist.
He kicked the bucket last night at his home in London, with his spouse Nadira what's more, received little girl Maleeha at his bedside.
Last night Woman Naipaul said: He was a goliath in all that he accomplished what's more, he passed on gently encompassed by those he loved, having lived a life which was full of awesome imagination what's more, endeavour.
Vidia Naipaul won the most prominent awards accessible to any English author the Nobel Prize, a knighthood for his administrations to writing what's more, the Booker Prize for his 1971 novel In A Free State. The relative of obligated workers delivered from India to the Caribbean, Naipaul chosen to move toward becoming a author matured 11.
A grant to Oxford brought him to Britain yet he battled to succeed in a nation that did not appear to welcome extraordinary voices.
His leap forward came with the acclaimed 1961 novel A House For Mr Biswas.
He was unafraid of debate what's more, frequently this was communicated with cleverness that once in a while backfired, particularly at the point when he proclaimed that a female author could not be his equal.
In granting Naipaul the 2001 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Institute applauded his work for having joined together keen story what's more, honest examination in works that constrain us to see the nearness of stifled histories.
Last month he gone to a gathering at Buckingham Castle facilitated by the Duchess of Cornwall for all victors of the Booker Prize.

Biel Mesquida Amengual (Castellón de la Plana, 9 de enero de 1947) es un escritor español, licenciado en Biología y Ciencias de la Información. Hijo de padres mallorquines, vive desde la infancia en Mallorca. Actualmente es profesor en la Universidad de las Islas Baleares.

Biografía
Nació el 9 de enero de 1947 en Castellón de la Plana, hijo de padres mallorquines, donde pasó su infancia. Se licenció en Biología y posteriormente en Ciencias de la Información. Es director de comunicaciones de la Universidad de las Islas Baleares.

Como escritor, se formó y maduró durante los años del franquismo, lo que generó no pocas dificultades a una generación completa de escritores en catalán. Su maduración se produjo así en París, siendo el punto de partida autores como Roland Barthes o Julia Kristeva. Su obra también ha sido influenciada por Maurice Blanchot y Georges Bataille.

Mesquida fue uno de los primeros escritores que se atrevieron con la temática gay en la España de la Transición. En la década de 1980 colaboró con Alberto Cardín en algunos proyectos. Así escribió en 1974 El bell país on els homes desitgen els homes («El bello país donde los hombres desean a los hombres»), que no pudo publicar hasta 1985, pero que dio a conocer en lecturas que realizaba él mismo. El libro trata el amor homosexual como algo revolucionario, transgresor, que rompe el orden establecido y realiza al individuo. Es una poesía radical, que forma la primera colección explícitamente gay publicada en Cataluña.

También ha colaborado en diversas revistas, como la revista Diwan, y en periódicos, como Diario 16, El Día y Baleares.

Crowdsourcing is the way to find out what your customers really want. Crowdsourcing is obtaining business ideas through a large group of people, typically your customers, rather than your employees. It is a way for businesses to come up with ideas outside of their "base of mind." Crowdsourcing combines numerous ideas from different people to come out with an ultimate result. Every business wants to maximize profit and crowdsourcing is the most effective way of doing so. Finding out what your customers want will boost your sales and attract even more customers.
Crowdsourcing is what the IdeaWall is all about. The IdeaWall is a very effective yet simple way of obtaining important information that can lead to the improvement and success of your business. Take a look at businesses such as Starbucks, Coca-Cola, FedEx, or Google. They are all big advocates of crowdsourcing which has definitely contributed to the success of their businesses.
The IdeaWall takes the rather complex challenge of crowdsourcing and simplifies it down for the benefit of the customers and the business. With customization, security, and many features including five ways to vote and the option of allowing admins and customers to present ideas the sky is the limit.

Danielle Rowland, Astrophysics Intern
A summer job at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Astronomy intern Danielle Rowland stands with a model of the Hubble Space Telescope at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. (Leah Fulmer)
By Rebecca Maksel
The Space Telescope Science Institute hosts a dozen undergraduates each summer for eight weeks at its Baltimore, Maryland facility, where they work with staff scientists and engineers.
The path: Rowland's interest in astronomy started early, at age five. "One very distinct memory is reading in the astronomy section of a general science book that stars had different colors related to their different temperatures. As a five-year-old who always colored the sun yellow, my mind was blown!"
The internship: A fellow classmate attended the summer program in 2016 and urged Rowland to apply. "Every astronomer I had ever come across was a professor," says Rowland. "I was interested in attending the summer program specifically to learn about other pathways within the career—to still be an astronomer, but not necessarily remain in academia. I met people within the institute who have yet to get their Ph.D., and they were still having a very lively career with even a bachelor's."
Her project: Each student works on a project in addition to attending twice-weekly seminars. Rowland worked on Satellites Around Galactic Analogs, a survey designed to characterize dwarf galaxies orbiting others, similar to the Milky Way, to determine "if our galaxy is unique or representative of other galaxy groupings in the larger universe."
A highlight from the internship: "We got a tour of [Maryland's Goddard Space Flight Center] where the James Webb Space Telescope was located. It was an inside look into the instrumentation and engineering aspects of everything that we work on."
The future: Rowland has turned her summer project into her senior thesis and, after graduation in May, is headed to grad school.

Q: Link two docker containers on Windows 10 I have my mongo container running:
docker run --security-opt=seccomp:unconfined -p 27017:27017 -p 28017:28017 --name mong --rm mong --link myapp

and my app
docker run --rm -ti --security-opt=seccomp:unconfined -p8080:8080 --name myapp --link mong --expose 8080

When I run  docker port myapp

8080/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:8080

And docker port mong get following:

27017/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:27017
28017/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:28017

However myapp doesn't see mong ports. When I run docker run --rm -ti --security-opt=seccomp:unconfined -p8080:8080 --name myapp --link mong --expose 8080 with --net=host flag myapp starts to see mong container ports, but stops expose 8080.
How to fix it? What is wrong?

A: If you want to link two or more containers, you can use network.
First create a network:
$ docker network create --driver bridge dev_network

Now run the both container with --net=dev_network
Container 1
$ docker run --security-opt=seccomp:unconfined -p 27017:27017 -p 28017:28017 --name mong --rm mong --net=dev_network

Container 2
docker run --rm -ti --security-opt=seccomp:unconfined -p 8080:8080 --name myapp --net=dev_network

You can now access the containers inside the network with container name.


5. How much do you weigh? too much!
7. Any piercings? Yes, although they are all currently empty. One in each ear, an extra just above the first in my right ear (which I think has healed over), one at the top of my right ear, my nose and my belly button.
8. OTP? I had to look this up to see what this meant! Now I know, but I don't really have an answer. Oh, I do. Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy.
10. Favourite bands? I like all kinds of music from Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald to Kaiser Chiefs, Bon Jovi and GnR. I'm very much less keen on boy band pop though.
17. Favourite actor? Again, no one favourite. James Nesbitt, Martin Shaw and Emilia Fox are actors who are guaranteed to get me checking out a show though.
19. Loud music or soft? both, depending on mood. Loud in the car.
21. How long does it take you to shower? It depends on whether I'm having to be as quick as possible, or if I can take my time. Also on whether I'm trying to escape bedlam. I can shower in 5 minutes, but prefer to be much longer.
22. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Depends on whether I'm putting on makeup (add a whole 5 minutes) or covering my hair (another 5 minutes). Generally 20 minutes max. It's getting everyone else ready that is time consuming.
25. Turn off? being too polished, smugness, intolerance, narrow-mindedness, vanity, the list goes on and on.
27. Fears? fears – something bad happening to my children. I also have arachnophobia, which isn't simply a fear, and can be quite controlling at times.
31. Last book you read? The Allotment Book *by Andi Clevely, which is a constant go to at the moment. I have several novels on the go at the moment.
33. The last show you watched? Marooned.
34. Last person you talked to? My husband Stonelaughter.
35. The relationship between you and the last person you texted? that was my husband too.
39.Do you have a crush? No. Think I'm a bit old for that lol.
42. Favourite flavour of sweet? I really like sour sweets – properly sour sweets, not these imposters you get these days. If you can eat a sour sweet without wincing then it's not sour. A properly sour sweet causes pain along your jaw bone.
43. What instrument do you play? I used to play descant recorder, tenor recorder and clarinet. I'm currently getting to grips with the Native American style flute my husband made for me.
Very similar to my wedding ring, by the same designer. Mine had amethyst and ceylon sapphires.
45. Last sport you played? does Geocaching count?
46. Last song you sang? Ra Ra the Noisy Lion. In terms of proper songs it was R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Scientists prove tailgating doesn't get you there faster
by Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Berthold Horn and Liang Wang. Credit: Jason Dorfman, MIT CSAIL
We've all experienced "phantom traffic jams" that arise without any apparent cause. Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) recently showed that we'd have fewer if we made one small change to how we drive: no more tailgating.
Specifically, the team's new journal article argues that if we all kept an equal distance between the cars in front of and behind us - an approach that MIT professor Berthold Horn describes as "bilateral control" - we would all get where we're going almost twice as quickly.
"We humans tend to view the world in terms of what's ahead of us, both literally and conceptually, so it might seem counter-intuitive to look backwards," says Horn, who co-authored the article with postdoctoral associate Liang Wang. "But driving like this could have a dramatic effect in reducing travel time and fuel consumption without having to build more roads or make other changes to infrastructure."
Horn concedes that drivers themselves are unlikely to change their forward-looking ways anytime soon, so he suggests that car companies update their adaptive cruise-control systems and add sensors to both their front and rear bumpers. (Most of today's systems only have front sensors.)
According to Horn, traffic would get noticeably better even if just a small percentage of all cars were outfitted with such systems. In future work funded in part by Toyota, he plans to do simulations to test whether this method is not just faster for drivers, but also safer.
The team's work has been inspired in part by how flocks of starling birds move in tandem.

"Birds have be doing this for centuries," says Horn. " To program this behavior, you'd want to look at the birds all around you and not just the ones in front of you."
According to the CSAIL team, for decades there have been hundreds of academic papers looking at the problem of traffic flow, but very few about how to actually solve it.
One proposed approach is to electronically connect vehicles together to coordinate their distances between each other. But so-called "platooning" methods require detailed coordination and a massive network of connected vehicles. In contrast, the CSAIL team's approach would simply require new software and some inexpensive hardware updates.
Horn first proposed the concept of "bilateral control" in 2013 at the level of a single car and the cars directly surrounding it. With the new paper, he has taken a more macro-level view, looking at the density of entire highways and how miles of traffic patterns can be affected by individual cars changing speeds (which his team refers to as "perturbations").
"Our work shows that, if drivers all keep an equal distance between the cars on either side of them, such 'perturbations' would disappear as they travel down a line of traffic, rather than amplify to create a traffic jam," says Horn.
The team's article will be published this week in the journal IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.
