Coping with a Bad Review
"Writers fall into two groups: Those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review and those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review." – Isaac Asimov
Asimov is right. Bad reviews hurt. Even the ridiculous hatchet jobs with half the words misspelled. Even the reviews that totally miss the point of your story. Even those that try to be kind. They are all attacks on little pieces of your soul, and they all draw blood.
So, how do you cope with bad reviews? Here are some ideas:
Resign yourself to them. Any time you put a piece of your work out in the world to be judged, someone is bound to find it lacking. Sometimes the reasons are solid; sometimes they're idiotic. But the naysayers will exist and they sometimes insist on voicing their opinions in the most obnoxious terms possible. Sometimes the best way to deal with this kind of criticism is just to expect it and accept it. Edward Albee, for instance, became so used to harsh criticism that he once quipped, "The only time I'll get good reviews is if I kill myself."
Have fun with them. Look for the humor in the hurtful words. Kingsley Amis, for instance, once joked, "If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." Next time you feel blocked after a bad review, think of your most vicious critic and set out to write something guaranteed to annoy the hell out of him or her.
Look for the silver lining. Sometimes a bad review is better than no review at all. Haven't you ever read a completely horrible review and felt compelled to buy the book just to see if it could possibly be so dreadful. Come on, admit it. Or, in the more eloquent words of Hugh Barbour, "There is nothing like a good negative review to sell a book."
Treat them with contempt. "Those who can write, write. Those who can't, criticize," said Max Hawthorne. And it's perfectly true that the person who ripped your golden words to shreds may be a frustrated math major who believes that "The Purple Cow" is poetry's highest achievement. A word to the wise: Keep your contempt to yourself. People who argue openly with their critics usually just wind up looking ridiculous.
Ignore them. I know lots of writers who refuse to read their reviews, good or bad. They have editors and beta readers whom they trust, and beyond that, they don't seek much feedback. And then there are the people, like John Steinbeck, who only read good reviews. "Unless the reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise," he wrote, "I say ignore the bastard."
Learn from them. Bad reviews of your work are miserable to read, but they do sometimes contain valid points that can ultimately improve your writing. Don't take every word critics say as gospel – some of them are just full of it – but you may want to keep an open mind.
What do you do when you come across a bad review of your work?

The sqltest tag inserts a condition test into SQL code. It tests a column against a variable. This tag is used in SQL Methods.
The sqltest tag is a singleton. It inserts a SQL condition test statement. It is used to build SQL queries. The sqltest tag correctly escapes the inserted variable. The named variable or variable expression is tested against a SQL column using the specified comparison operation.
The type of the variable. Valid types include: string, int, float and nb. nb means non-blank string, and should be used instead of string unless you want to test for blank values. The type attribute is required and is used to properly escape inserted variable.
The name of the SQL column to test against. This attribute defaults to the variable name.
If true, then the variable may be a sequence of values to test the column against.

3 injured, 2 seriously as explosion rocks stadium in Mallorca
By Anne Sewell Oct 11, 2013 in World
Palma - Two workers suffered serious injuries when a generator exploded in the parking lot of the Son Moix stadium in Palma on the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca. A third person suffered lesser injuries.
The Spanish national soccer team is scheduled to play Belarus on Friday night in a World Cup qualifier at the home of the Real Mallorca club.
As reported in El País, an explosion in the parking lot on the grounds of the stadium caused serious injury to two workers, who were transferred to hospital, and slightly injured a third.
According to Diario de Mallorca (Spanish language), the two seriously injured workers were transferred to the Vall d' Hebron hospital in Barcelona and the worker with lesser injuries remains in hospital in the Son Espases Hospital in Palma.
The most seriously injured worker, a 31-year-old man, who suffered burns to 70 percent of his body, was transported by air ambulance from Mallorca to the burn unit of the hospital in Barcelona along with the second seriously injured man, a 27-year-old worker, who suffered 60 percent burns.
The explosion also reportedly cut electricity within the stadium and initially it was thought that the World Cup qualifier match on Friday would be cancelled or moved to a different location. However, a spokesman for the Spanish Football Federation, Jorge Carretero, told Spanish media sources that the game would go ahead as planned.
"The game is not in danger, we are not considering a change of date," said Carretero. "The only thing is to lament that people were hurt, to whom we wish a swift recovery."
Due to the incident, Belarus's training session on the field was canceled on Thursday, as the stadium was left without floodlights.
The incident occurred around 3:20 p.m. when the two workers were adjusting a generator in the stadium parking lot to increase electrical power ahead of the World Cup match to be held in Son Moix on Friday.
It is thought that one of the workers may have touched the electrical box with a tool, causing the explosion. The incident is being investigated, but so far investigators have ruled out a deliberate attack, calling it a "chance event."
The match against Spain is set to start at 7.30 p.m. local time on Friday.

The Russia Connection
The Report, Episode Ten: You're Fired
By Susan Hennessey, Benjamin Wittes
Friday, October 4, 2019, 11:23 AM
Today, we released the tenth episode of Lawfare's narrative audio documentary, The Report, which recounts the story Robert Mueller lays out in his 448-page report.
This episode covers Attorney General Jeff Sessions's decision to recuse from the Russia investigation and President Trump's reaction. It also details the sudden firing of FBI Director James Comey. Mueller evaluates whether these episodes, individually or collectively, meet the legal requirements of obstruction of justice.
The first seven episodes of The Report unpack Volume I; they tell the story of Russia's efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election and the Trump campaign's interaction and involvement with those efforts. Episode 1 covers the Russian social media operation and the activities of the Internet Research Agency. Episode 2 focuses on the Russian hacking campaign; the stealing of documents and emails from the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and figures associated with the Clinton campaign; and the leaks of stolen materials timed to affect the U.S. election. Episode 3 covers the Trump campaign's involvement in the distribution of hacked materials. Episode 4 tells the story of Trump Tower Moscow, which Donald Trump sought to build even as he was denying having any business in Russia, and Trump Tower New York, where Russian representatives showed up promising "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Episode 5 recounts the stories of three men associated with the Trump campaign and their various ties to Russia: George Papadopoulos, Carter Page and Paul Manafort. Episode 6 details backchannel attempts by the Russians to influence the Trump campaign and transition on policy matters—an effort to reboot U.S.-Russia relations one secret meeting at a time. Episode 7 covers the special counsel's charging decisions—which individuals Mueller decides to prosecute, whose prosecutions he declines, and the reasons for his decisions.
We turned to Volume II in Episode 8, which offers the necessary legal and factual context to understand this second half of the report on possibly obstructive activity: Why was President Trump nervous about an investigation into his campaign's contacts with Russia? What is obstruction of justice? And Episode 9 details national security adviser Flynn's lie to federal investigators about his phone call with the Russian ambassador and the White House response to learning of that lie. Episode 9 also charts the president's turbulent relationship with Comey, which led the two men to a fateful Oval Office encounter.
In this episode, we tell the story of two senior Justice Department officials who can't seem to please the president: Sessions and Comey. It maps how Sessions comes to recuse himself from the Russia investigation and how that decision renders him useless for the president's purposes. And then Trump decides to fire the FBI director. How did White House aides scramble to craft justifications for the dismissal that weren't related to Russia and why is it that the Deputy Attorney General provided the pretext for the firing? And what does it mean when Trump undercuts their efforts and acknowledges the real reasons for the firing in a television interview? This all leaves the special counsel to untangle how the lies and mixed motives implicate obstruction laws and the president's unique constitutional role.
This episode features Matt Zapotosky, Mike Schmidt, Preet Bahara, Joshua Campbell, Greg Miller and Jack Goldsmith.
Understanding the Mueller Report has never been more important. President Trump is facing new allegations that he is soliciting foreign interference in the 2020 election, which has prompted an impeachment inquiry in the president's activities. And this week, reports have emerged that Attorney General Bill Barr is asking foreign governments to help discredit the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. To understand what is happening now, it is critical to know what Mueller says happened before. We hope you'll continue to subscribe, rate and share it widely.

Our challenge is to get what we want this weekend
Tony Scholes January 13, 2017 Our challenge is to get what we want this weekend2017-01-13T17:53:06+00:00 Pre/Post Match Views
Burnley face Southampton at home tomorrow and that brings their manager Claude Puel to Turf Moor for the very first time since he replaced Ronald Koeman at St. Mary's last summer.
Puel's side enjoyed a 1-0 home win against Liverpool in the League Cup this week. They played well and Puel said ahead of tomorrow's game: "I hope we can play this game with the same levels, the same attitude and concentration.
"We can see a good game, a strong game together and now it's important to keep this regularity. All the good things against Liverpool, it's now important to stay with a good focus about our game against Burnley of course.
"I think it was important to play this good game for the confidence and to see our potential also. Now we will see for the second leg against Liverpool, but it's important to come back in the Premier League with the same intentions."
Burnley go into the game tomorrow just one point behind a Southampton team who comfortably beat us at St. Mary's earlier in the season. "When we were down at their place, people would've questioned the table now, but it does show the work that we've put in since then to continue to improve," Clarets boss Sean Dyche said.
"The league doesn't lie and we deserve to be there but we also need to be aware of the bigger picture, which is that we're going along in a solid manner and we're in every game.
"The home form has been excellent and I'm really pleased with that and I'm pleased with the supporters. I've always said that one of the biggest links that I wanted to achieve was between the supporters and the players and that they stand for something the supporters can gravitate towards.
"The work ethic, the care, the attention by the players to give everything to win a game and do well for Burnley Football Club has been really obvious and the crowd really enjoy that, so it's great that we can back that up with good results."
Dyche had a warning though, given the strength of tomorrow's opposition. He added: "Every team in the Premier League is a good side but we know there are some that are more powerful than others, whether it's from strength of depth or the players that they've got and Southampton are a mix of that.
"They are a big club in their own right with the stadium, the structure and the training ground they've got down there, as well as the resources that they put on the pitch. Our challenge of course is to not over think about their club and get what we want this weekend."

Q: Web Reference Breaks SSIS Package I am working on a SSIS Package using SQL Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 Shell.
I need to use a web method in a script task I have and I was able to run this script on windows 7 without any problems. This web service requires a certificate which I have installed in my personal computer store.
However when I moved this project into Windows Server 2008 R2, the package breaks for apparently no reason. I have no compilation errors on the Error List and if build the script task it will succeed, however when I finish editing the script a message box will appear with this error message:
"Scripts contained in the package have compilation errors. Do you want to save changes?"
If I remove the web reference from the script task, this message wont appear.
The package won't run because of this. I checked for error details on the Event Viewer, but it only shows "Package  Failed" and no further details appear about this issue. Could this be related to a certificate issue? Is there an error log or way to know more details about what is causing the package to fail?
Thank you.

A: It isn't just the security issue of certificates required by the web service itself that you have to worry about.
The SSRS web server will not allow loading assemblies that are marked as "unsafe"--which is pretty much anything that does I/O. I once added a reference to a .Net Forms assembly to an SSRS report in order to use its rich text functionality. It worked beautifully in Visual Studio, but once deployed to the SSRS web server, it would never run. I am certain it could be made to function, but due to other priorities I actually gave up the job as everything I tried didn't work.
Searching online for adding custom assemblies yields some useful information for getting custom assemblies working. Here are some of the crucial steps:

*

*Sign the assembly with a strong name, required because it is deployed to the GAC.

*Use the assembly-level attribute [assembly:AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] in the assembly so SSRS can use it.

A couple of likely resources are here and here.

Legally Blonde – The Musical : A Review
May 14, 2018 By Mehvish Maniar 2 Comments
by Mehvish Maniar
May 14, 2018 May 14, 2019 Filed under:
Pink and Blonde. These two words define the show Legally Blonde. And though these words are associated with anything but smart, these two are the words that pay defiance in this musical – defiance to the words' lifelong association with the idea that, no person who is blonde or loves pink can be smart!
Legally Blonde: The Background
Legally Blonde is based on the 2001 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer smash hit film starring Reese Witherspoon, It was adapted for a theatrical production in 2007. In the first year itself, the original Broadway production was nominated in 7 categories at the Tony Awards.
A show that has won the hearts of many for the beauty of the message it carries – being true to yourself will always lead you to where you belong.
Refresher Anyone?
Legally Blonde portrays the story of Elle Woods, UCLA's Delta Nu sorority queen and fashionista who loves all things pink. But when she is suddenly dumped by her boyfriend Warner for not being so 'serious' she follows him to Harvard Law School (with Bruiser, her chihuahua), to win him back by showing him her studious side. She struggles initially to settle in by being too 'pink, glamorous and chirpy' in an environment that's anything but.
However, along the way she gets support from friends – a teaching assistant Emmet, a down-on-her-luck hairdresser Paulette and a Greek chorus of UCLA sorority sisters (which only she can see and hear).
It is a heartening story that emphasises how courage and strength from within, paired with a loyalty to one's true self, can lead the way to a place where 'nothing is impossible'.
Elle Woods is an inspirational and relatable character who shows us that what the world thinks of us should mean nothing. What truly matters is, how we feel about ourselves from within. And if we have a few good friends by our side coupled with self-belief, then we have it made.
Catch up on the story behind Crazy Rich Asians, a book by Kevin Kwan, that will be soon coming out as a Movie.
Legally Blonde: The Production, the Cast and the Show
The musical comes straight from New York with a talented and fun cast. It is attention-grabbing from the get-go. Strong characters further catapulted by strong performances and a brilliant musical score make for a high adrenaline, feet tapping, truly engaging show with next to zero moments of disengagement from the audience.
The main character of Elle Woods is played by Maris Mcculley – the very talented and look-alike of, Reese Witherspoon (from the movie Legally Blonde). That lends an instant credibility to the character she's portraying. Her performance is further matured by the modulation she carries in her voice. It adds to the depth of songs or dialogues she conveys.
Her character is instrumental in the make or break of the musical. The way she held the fort on her own and her chemistry with the other characters was commendable. Her unerring acting, her boundless energy, her look, her dancing, her ability to take herself from emotion to emotion along with the strong stage presence: all factors give way to making this a splendid musical.
The Supporting Cast
No one actor's performance can suffice alone without a great supporting cast. For this musical too, this holds true.
It is witnessed in the first scene itself when Elle along with her sorority sisters set the stage on cuteness-overload with their antics and high energy, in-your-face, loud girly-girl portrayal.
Things did get a bit drab when Warner (played by Mark LaDuke) sings 'Serious'. Though Mark has a great voice, what it lacked was a crescendo, making his performance lack-lustre. But this didn't last long and many great performances ensued.
Mychal Phillips in the role of the vivacious, kind-hearted hairdresser Paulette is someone instantly liked by the audience. Her vulnerable character portrayal and her execution of a true loyal friend to Elle won many hearts. Her performance in 'Ireland' is beatifically portrayed with aplomb and a near-perfect Irish accent.
Jayson Speters playing the role of Emmet, the down-to-earth teacher's assistant from a middle-class background really grows on to the audience as his character unfolds. His memorable performance is seen when he performs 'Chip on my shoulder'.
The actors' roles are one element of making a production successful. What adds to their performances is the set they're acting in. It adds a vital element to creating a setting whereby the actors' roles can shine and be given life to.
The sets for this production were highly innovative. The props and set pieces were exquisite in design as well as detail and Jonathan Infante's LED screens provided backdrops in swaying, moving imagery. They certainly added more depth to the stage.
Some shows are relevant for a time and an age. But some are evergreen and limitless in what they have to offer. The messages they offer can carry one from generation to generation, from era to era and they just don't grow old.
Legally Blonde is a show that is immortal. The lessons that it supports are timeless, holding true to oneself, and most importantly, what is needed to seep in further in today's generation where peer pressure is norm.
I would recommend this show to anyone who has teenage daughters or sons for that matter. And who is in the process of learning self-worth and finding themselves in this large, crazy world! Do catch the show.
This show talks about women empowerment, seriously tackles and supports the #metoo movement and breaks stereotypes that still exist in our societies.
Blondes are not dumb.
Women don't need any man but A man who can respect them.
Where there is a will there is a definite way.
Respecting oneself is way more important that any success that might have to be given up on.
And lastly, love empowers, not burdens.

OUT OF MY HANDS
For me, writing has always been a political act.
This was brought home to me again in spades last Monday night, January 28, when I spoke before a group of gay men near my home in South Florida at a book signing where I also read from my new memoir SAINT UNSHAMED: A GAY MORMON'S LIFE—Healing From the Shame of Religion, Rape, Conversion Therapy & Cancer To Find My True Self, which goes on sale on March 27, 2019.
The memoir is the most personal, powerful and hence, the most political work I have written to date. In essence, in daring to tell all of the truth about my life, even in sharing the most sexually explicit and graphic details of my violent rape at the age of 18, in talking about aspects of my life and personality and character traits that most would never dare to say publicly, it takes to task the intolerance that exists among the overtly religious in our present-day world.
In the narration of the book, I talk about my fears in going "all the way" in my truth telling:
"In writing one's memoir, and choosing to go public with the most sexually intimate details of one's life—as I do within these pages—it's scary. It's like opening up one's private diary to everyone on the planet. Was I absolutely certain that I wanted to share my most hidden and well-kept secrets with the world? How would the members of my Mormon family react once my book was published? Would the conservative members of my family shun me once they read the graphic details of my sexual experiences, particularly the most vile and violent details of my rape? Would sharing these true experiences from my life with the world, even matter?"
It is one thing to share the truth and nothing but the truth in the writing of my new memoir, and quite another to read aloud before a packed room of peopled, from a particularly sexually intimate passage from my book.
While onstage, with only a podium as protection, and reading the explicitly sexual passage before a group of other gay men, I felt extremely exposed. This, in itself, was a very political act, and it took a lot of inner courage to expose myself publicly in this way. But that, in essence, goes with the act of putting oneself out there in the world, writing of the most intimate details from my life, and ultimately sharing it with the public. As I performed the passage from the book the other night, I realized that this is the final step in a long coming-out process, going fully public. In this this, I can have no control over what people think of my work, of my reading, or of my life experience for that matter. Like all art, literature is subjective. What a reader experiences in reading it, like those who hear me in public reading passages from the book, depends entirely upon the experiences they bring to the book. Whether I reach them or not, as I would hope, an whether or not the work touches them and speaks to their experience is up to them; in essence, I have done my part, and now it is up to them. All I can do is do my very best to get my book reviewed, to promote it as best I can and get it out to the world.
Thus far, all of the advance reviews of my book have all been raves, and I am extremely grateful for the extremely positive reviews that the memoir has received thus far…just as I was pleased by the audience's reaction to my reading on Monday night. It always helps when an author can sell his work. When each customer buys a copy of my work, it is one more affirmation that I must be doing something right. But how critics react, how readers respond, and how book sales add up, are all factors that are now in the hands of the universe, not mine.
By the way, the hardcover book, which officially goes on sale on March 27, 2019, can be purchased now on my author's website at www.KerryAshton.com at the reduced price of $25, or you can officially pre-order either the hardcover or E-Book at all online outlets, at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

Places are now filling up fast for the LII conference and exhibition but there's still time to book and take part in this global event. There is a wide array of features, akcie, and things to do and we will host participants from almost 30 different countries in London in December.
In the run-up to the show, our news will feature just a few of the key elements.
Ziyad will speak about how the rise of big data and new technology is transforming the very nature of social research, and how we as an industry can respond to this phenomenon, both tactically and strategically.
To handle the threats and to respond to the opportunity in this area requires fresh thinking, ranging from organisational culture to the relationships we have as an industry with a whole host of new actors. Ziyad will also walk through some of the innovations and approaches Sage Publishing plan to implement through building, nákupy, partnering or investing.
The conference will go on to look at "Valuing truth in the age of fake", "Birth of the new Infotech", "Whose research is it anyway?", "Cyber Security", "Open Science, Open Futures", "The new impact", "Changing user behaviours and new business models", "New tribes", "AI and machine learning", "The University publishing revolution", "Start-ups challenging the status quo" and "Publishing to address grand societal challenges".
We have also been making the news ourselves in the past week or so.
London Info International 2017 is more than just another conference; it is an independent platform that enables discussions, engages communities, shares knowledge and drives change with influencers, používatelia, and providers of information across all disciplines. LII 2017 is independent and inclusive. It exists to bring together a community of engaged information professionals to improve outcomes in research, education and business.

Yeah but the thing about potential on Scottish rock is that there is sooooo much. You could screw with it your whole life (we are both trying hard!) and never even make a dent in its unimaginably large capacity.
Would love to see an attempt to collate the existing Shelterstone problems. I know you were talking in a previous post about 'no topos' but the fact is, if there was onw I'd be more likely to get there sooner than later.

Hoi Toider, an American Dialect that Doesn't Sound American
Hoi Toider is a dialect spoken by long-time residents of Ocracoke, North Carolina. It sometimes sounds more Australian, Scottish, or like Elizabethan English than American English.
When older Ocracoke natives, or O'cockers as they call themselves, speak, the 'I' sound is an 'oi', so they say 'hoi' instead of 'high'. That's where the Hoi Toider name comes from: it's based on how the O'cockers say 'high tide'.
Then there are the phrases and vocabulary, many of which are also kept over from the original settlers. For example, when you're on Ocracoke, someone might 'mommuck a buck before going up the beach', which means 'to tease a friend before going off the island'.
"We have a lot of words that have been morphed to make our own," said Amy Howard, another of William Howard's descendants, who runs the Village Craftsmen, a local arts and crafts store. "[Hoi Toider] is a combination from a whole blend of cultures. A lot of the early settlers were well travelled, so they ran into lots of different types of people. For example, the word 'pizer' we use comes from the Italian word 'piazza', which means porch. So if you're going to be sitting on your pizer, you're sitting on your porch."
You can hear some folks speaking Hoi Toider is these videos:

This machine learning-assisted cat door keeps kitty from bringing furry surprises home
Using an Arduino, a bunch of code and a little machine learning, Benn Hamm created a cat door to keep his cat from bringing dead–and sometimes live–rats and birds into his home in the middle of the night. It's not often that I'm down with bringing surveillance technology into homes but, as a former cat owner who's had to clean bird shit off a flat-screen TV, I have nothing but love for this project.

That's Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck to you!
After eight years, Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck has earned her PhD in higher education from Cardinal Stritch University. And yes, Marijuana Pepsi is her real given name. From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Her mother, Maggie (Brandy) Johnson, who still lives in Beloit, (Wisconsin) picked out her name and proclaimed that it would take her around the world. Her sisters, one older and one younger, got relatively common names, Kimberly and Robin.
Teachers, classmates, bosses and other people in Marijuana's life pushed back against her name and teased her. Some suggested she go to court and change it. Some flat out refused to call her that or insisted on Mary, which she rejected.
As much as people blamed and judged her mother for the name, Marijuana credits her mom with making her the strong, balanced, entrepreneurial woman she is today…
But mostly she embraces the name as proof that you can overcome any obstacle in life and achieve your dreams…
It's fitting that an African American woman who has gone through life as Marijuana Pepsi chose as her dissertation topic: "Black names in white classrooms: Teacher behaviors and student perceptions."

Listen to an author realize her forthcoming book contains a terrible mistake
Author Naomi Wolf has a new book coming out titled "Outrages: Sex, Censorship and the Criminalization of Love". It's about the emergence of homosexuality as a concept and its criminalization in 19th-century England.
…the story, brilliantly told, of why this two-pronged State repression took hold—first in England and spreading quickly to America—and why it was attached so dramatically, for the first time, to homosexual men.
Before 1857 it wasn't "homosexuality" that was a crime, but simply the act of sodomy. But in a single stroke, not only was love between men illegal, but anything referring to this love became obscene, unprintable, unspeakable.
In a BBC interview with Wolf, her host, historian Matthew Sweet, points out two serious problems with her work. First, she assumes "sodomy" refers to homosexuality, but a key example she uses was a child abuser.
Secondly, she assumes the 19th-century legal term "death recorded" (for example) means the convict was executed, when in fact it means the opposite: the sentence of death being merely recorded rather than carried out, because the prisoner was pardoned and freed. A term she thought signaled draconian punishment turns out to demonstrate leniency.
Here's the tape. Sweet is polite and professional, and Wolf takes the news well, but it's very painful listening.
Everyone listen to Naomi Wolf realize on live radio that the historical thesis of the book she's there to promote is based on her misunderstanding a legal term pic.twitter.com/a3tB77g3c1
— Edmund Hochreiter (@thymetikon) May 23, 2019
Fortunate that it isn't out yet (and perhaps not even printed, as the release date is a couple of months out) so Wolf and publisher Virago can fix it. But Sweet adds that the supposed execution of gay men in Victorian England is a "major plank" in the book, when in fact the last one took place years before her reign.

Understanding Clinical Research: Behind the Statistics
Université du Cap
If you've ever skipped over`the results section of a medical paper because terms like "confidence interval" or "p-value" go over your head, then you're in the right place. You may be a clinical practitioner reading research articles to keep up-to-date with developments in your field or a medical student wondering how to approach your own research. Greater confidence in understanding statistical analysis and the results can benefit both working professionals and those undertaking research themselves. If you are simply interested in properly understanding the published literature or if you are embarking on conducting your own research, this course is your first step. It offers an easy entry into interpreting common statistical concepts without getting into nitty-gritty mathematical formulae. To be able to interpret and understand these concepts is the best way to start your journey into the world of clinical literature. That's where this course comes in - so let's get started! The course is free to enroll and take. You will be offered the option of purchasing a certificate of completion which you become eligible for, if you successfully complete the course requirements. This can be an excellent way of staying motivated! Financial Aid is also available.
Clinical Research, Statistics, Statistical Analysis, Statistical Hypothesis Testing
A great introduction to understanding research and a great platform to springboard keen clinicians into performing their own research. Will take what I've learnt and apply it to my own research!
I'm very new at this theme, this course has being the perfect beginning. If you don't have a mathematical background and you don't understand when the funny S appear, this is the course for you!
Which test should you use?
The most common statistical test that you might come across in the literature is the t-test. There are, in actual fact, a few t-tests, but the one most are familiar with, is of course, Student's t-test and its ubiquitous p-value. Not everyone, though, knows that the name Student was actually a pseudonym, used by William Gosset (1876 - 1937). Parametric tests have very strict assumptions that must be met before their use is justified. In this lesson we take a closer look at these tests, but perhaps more importantly, their strict assumptions. Once you know these, you will be able to identify when these tests are used inappropriately.
Introduction to parametric tests2:07
Student's t-test15:08
ANOVA4:15
Linear Regression4:00
(Optional) Student's t-test in action12:36
Juan H Klopper
Now we've spoken about student's t-test and everything really follows from that. If you really understand how that works, how the central limit theorem works, how we are just converting everything to so many units of standard error, and what the area under the curve represents, you really understand most of statistical analysis. Now, student's t-test, and all the t-tests, really for comparing the means of two groups, but sometimes we want to compare the means of more than two groups. And that is when we have Anova, the most common one is called a one-way Anova. The one-way refers to the fact that we are only dealing with one factor. So imagine, we're just looking at comparing the means of white cell counts between four or five groups of participants. So it's just the white cell count, that's the only thing we're looking at, that is just one factor. And also has some levels to it that just really refers to how many groups we ask. If it's a four group, that's really a four level, one-way Anova if we look at that. Now t-test, remember we are comparing the means of two groups, but really over ANOVA three or more groups we are comparing to each other. Now all the assumptions we spoke about when we spoke about student's t-test has to be met. The ANOVA is still a parametric test, so we have to have those same assumptions. Most notably, the data points must come from, or any variable, must come from a variable that has a normal distribution in the patient or in the population. The actual data point values, they must be from numerical type and they must be a continuous data type. We also have to have roughly equal variances between the values in each group. If we work out the variances, standard deviation for each individual group, they've gotta be roughly the same. And also these participants really have to be independent. We can't be dealing with one is a called it triplets for instance, as an example. Now what the Anova does, it only determines that there's a difference between the groups. It doesn't highlight one group over any of the other groups, two groups over any of the other groups. It can not do that. It's only going to tell you that there's some fundamental difference between the groups but there's no individual group analysis that goes on. Now, it uses what we call the F-distribution. We haven't spoken about the F-distribution before, but it's a distribution, just as any other. Doesn't look normally distributed, though. It has this positive skew, so it's got this tail going out towards the right. And it is shaped by the degrees of freedom, just like the t-test, the T-distribution I should say, and it has a mean of around one. We're going to do exactly the same thing though, there's going to be some critical values. So many standard errors away from the mean would represent an area under the curve of open 0.05. And the differences between all of those groups is gonna be converted to an F-value and that F-value is gonna fall either side of this critical value. Everything would be the same. Here you see a beautiful example of random variables taken from, I think it was about 10,000 random variables, taken from an F-distribution. And you can beautifully see the mean is around one, but there is this tail that goes off to the right, there's quite a bit of skewness to the F-distribution. So what the Anova test really does, it compares the intergroup, the within group variability to the between group variability. And if it finds that the between group variability is much bigger than the intergroup variability, the variability of the data values within each group, then it really tends towards an f-value that'll be right far away from the critical value that will have statistical significance in some way. It's kind of the rule of thumb. Now, there are really many Anovas. You can well imagine from what I've discussed now, how many groups there are, how many values but different groups there are, how they interact with each other, how many factors we are dealing with is a lot of different types of the Anova. In essence though, we are comparing the means of more than two groups.

Our 1st XV play in the SRU Tennents National League 3 which sees us travel from Berwick in the South, to Ardrossan in the west to Caithness in the North.
However we are developing the club in terms of a hospitality venue and are very much community focussed. With this in mind, as we develop , we want the very best for our members and customers and as such are keen promote the best the county has to offer.

When I retired from the Prison Service I took up a part time position at the club as Business Development Consultant. In the 3 years I've held this role we have developed the club and how it operates, picking up a number of awards/trophies in the process.
So a slight change in direction in terms of career, but with a skill set that was transferable and a desire to learn, I feel we have been able to progress the club in its overall aims. We have become more customer focussed, and the club now realises what a community asset it can be. My specialism within the Service was negotiation, and whilst there (thankfully) is no call for hostage negotiation out here, the skill set allows me to understand what people need, whether that be sponsors or members.


Good leaders do not limit themselves to one leadership style, but may use different strategies based on their own preferences and the group they are leading. A successful leader must evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each individual team member in order to ensure the most success in reaching a goal. The purpose of a leader is to provide the most ideal work environment for his or her followers to induce productivity. Research has shown that an individual's personality type is related to his or her personality style and is a contributor to how well someone responds to a particular leadership style. The purpose of the present study was to look at the personality types of undergraduate college students and assess the relationship to their preferred leadership styles. Participants will include approximately 50 undergraduate students from a small, private university located in northern California. Participants were recruited ins three ways: via email to their supervisors, email to their professors, and through requests on my personal social media accounts. Participants were asked to complete an online survey that assessed their personality type including extraversion, openness, agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and preferred leadership style. Although data collection has not been fully completed, it is expected that there will be a strong positive relationship between participants who score higher on the traits of openness and extraversion and leadership styles that allow for more interaction with others and creativity in decision making. It is also expected that there will be a strong positive relationship between participants who score higher on the traits of conscientiousness and neuroticism and leadership styles that allow for more independent work opportunities.

Your friendly neighborhood Maxline Brewing is making some big changes.
The brewery, established in 2012, hosts a variety of events (such as puppy yoga, tastings, and more) as well as shares their unique variety of craft beers. The warm environment and dog-friendly atmosphere encourages beer lovers to think of the taproom as "[their] own living room" (Maxline Brewing).
With such a fun environment, it's no surprise that Maxline has been looking for an opportunity to expand. According to a recent press release, Maxline Brewing announced that they will begin limited distribution of their local favorites in January thanks to their new canning line. Along with that, for every 12-oz can sold, Maxline will donate four cents to a local charity-- that adds up!
Maxline is also introducing barrel-aging to their brewing process, which will open doors for several new flavors. The first beer to be released from their barrel-aging program will be Rum Barrel-Aged Winter Warmer, described as a "spiced American Amber with cinnamon, clove, allspice and ginger."
To keep updated with Maxline's future events and new beer releases, head to their website, or stop in for a brew and don't forget to bring the pup.


Apple has given my son a hand!
The human hand is a wondrous piece of engineering. Imagine where you'd be if you were suddenly without yours.
Think of the language we use: reach out, lend-a-hand, hands-on, get a grip, hand-out, handy, a handful, hands-free, hand-over, hang-on, hold on, at your fingertips, in the palm of your hand, second-hand, hand-me-downs, high-five, point-the-finger, thumbs-up, let your fingers do the walking, etc.
…and I wonder how you'd take care of yourself, earn a living, express yourself, interact with others, follow your dreams, live, if you had no use of your hands.
I don't have to imagine what this is like. I have experienced it daily through my son, whose quadriplegia means that his strong, well-formed hands are quite useless. Well, perhaps not totally useless. As a diabetic, he needs several blood-glucose tests a day, and his fingers get regularly stuck with needles. But that's all they are good for.
Then, surprise, surprise, into our lives comes Apple.
Did you know that every Apple device – Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch – is engineered with a powerful suite of Accessibility features? One of those features – Switch Control – is for people who have some form of physical impairment, such that they find it difficult or impossible to touch a screen or type on a keyboard or handle a remote control.
Using Switch Control, and tapping a small switch with his head, my son tweets, texts, types emails, makes FaceTime calls, operates the TV, studies at university online, runs a video-editing business using Final Cut Pro on his Mac, plays games, listens to music, turns on lights and air-conditioners in the house and even pilots a drone!
And there's a new feature in iOS10 and MacOS Sierra called Platform Switching. This enables a Switch Control user to 'pick up and put down' various Apple devices around the home and office and control them from one device; in Christopher's case, his wheelchair-mounted iPhone is now his universal remote controller and switch interface.
If you're a Switch Control user and you haven't tried Platform Switching, here's a quick video I made, showing you how to activate it.
I never thought such things would be possible. I'm a pessimist, so I'm surprised!
Gratitude to you and your family for sharing these stories, Garry. They are a testament to you and your son's intelligence, resilience and to the incredible power of our race to find a way up the mountain of adversity. To call it inspiring is the understatement of the century. No small thing.
Absolutely thrilled you are writing again! And utterly overjoyed for Christopher – we know intimately how much freedom brings. It's truly inspiring how much real difference to life some of the new technologies can make.


Eighteen elephants, due to be culled because the intense drought in southern Africa has left a national park in Swaziland without food, could be flown to zoos in the US. It is hoped that moving them will give endangered rhinos more chance of survival.
The three male and 15 female elephants from parched Hlane national park are being held temporarily by a local conservation group pending a court case brought by US animal welfare groups concerned about their export.
"As drought conditions throughout Swaziland worsen and food sources become scarcer, the zoos are eager to relocate these animals to provide them a healthy life in a safe home."


What's the difference between forgo and forego? It's a foregone conclusion that there'll be some confusion, but I'll forgo further digression to get to the discussion.
To forgo is to do without, or relinquish: "He will forgo the pleasure of her company"; "I'll forgo the formality of requiring a co-signer." The present participle is forgoing ("She is forgoing the procedure"), the past-tense form can be forwent ("She forwent the procedure") or forgone ("She had forgone the procedure"), and one who forgoes is a forgoer. Only the basic verb form, however, is common.
To forego, by contrast, is to go before, to precede. Forego is much less common in usage than forgo, and it generally has a figurative sense, often used in such statements as "Her reputation will forego her" or "Her reputation foregoes her," meaning that others will have heard about the subject before they meet her.
To maintain the distinction between the words forgo and forego in your mind, remember these basics: Use forgo or forgoing in the sense of "doing without"; past-tense usage is rare. And though use of forego is unlikely, foregone and foregoing are common terms for reference to something already done.
Or, most simply, think of -fore in before to remind yourself that forego and its variants refer to sequence and that forgo resembles forget, which is often the reason something is left undone.
Oh! I knew that there were two different meanings, but I never realised until now that the words were spelled differently. I'd been spelling both as "forego". Thanks!
Wow, I had this all wrong. I had never heard "forgo", and always used "forego" to mean "do without". Thanks for clarifying this.
In a future article, would you please compare and contrast superfluous versus redundant? Always had trouble wrapping my head around the distinctions. Thank you.
Forego is a variant of forgo. So "forego" can be used for either meaning.
This is completely erroneous. Forego is correct. Forgo is just a modern corruption.
@Dan, @Castor: You'll probably crucify me for this, but I wound up here because spellcheck choked on "forego," but accepted "forgo" without a peep. I also thought "forego" proper, but this explanation is logical- ergo, of course, most likely wrong!
In any case, I'm going with FOR-get vs. be-FORE henceforth.
Thanks, Mark, for this post- at least I can lay the blame elsewhere if my usage is incorrect!
I agree with those who say forgo is a modern misspelling of forego.
Depends on the meaning. If the intended meaning is "abstain," forgo is proper, derived from Old English forgan. If the intended meaning is "go before," forego is proper, based on Old English foregan, and please note that in OE the e was pronounced (silent e arrived between the 14th and 16th centuries, with the Great Vowel Shift), so it's not the case in OE that forgan and foregan would have been pronounced the same, as is the case with forgo and forego. The argument that "forgo" is recent is belied with its presence in writing and print well before 1500 (the word was particularly prominent in the 1560s), though an increase in confusing the two may have increased recently as people use forego in ways other than the idiomatic (from Shakespeare's Othello) "foregone conclusion," and the increase in the last century of use of the past tense of forgo employing the root of the OE verb wendan. One can have "opinions" whether forgo is a recent misspelling or corruption, but etymology dictionaries and n-gram viewers can provide facts that help to inform what the historical meanings have been. What is proper today, if one tends toward the descriptivist over the prescriptivist, depends on which is likelier to be understood or misunderstood.

If Sam Allardyce was actually named Samuel Allarydcé he'd be manager of Spain with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus on his CV.
As it is, plain old Big Sam had to settle for Blackburn, Sunderland, Bolton and a one-game stint with England.
But that didn't stop Allardyce building his own version of Madrid's Galacticos while managing Bolton.
The best part of it all? He spent absolutely nothing putting it all together.
Walk with us down memory lane and reminisce back to the transfer windows, between 2002 and 2004, in which Allardyce worked more magic than a used car salesman at a scrapyard.
Jay-Jay Okocha arrived at Bolton from PSG, where the emergence of a young Ronaldinho had seen the 28-year-old become available.
Ronaldinho was sufficiently impressed with Okoacha to label him one of the few no.10s he admires, and it wasn't long before the Nigerian's flicks and tricks were captivating Bolton fans.
For four years he embarrassed the great and good of the Premier League, with Ray Parlour on the receiving end of a particularly jaw dropping piece of skill. Not bad for a free transfer.
Ivan Campo pitched up at Bolton on a season-long loan just months after winning a second Champions League trophy with Real Madrid.
Fans instantly took a liking to the Spaniard because of his afro and belly, but it turned out the lad could play a bit.
He signed a three-year deal to stay at Bolton after deciding it was nicer than Madrid. Who are we to argue with a La Liga winner?
There was a time when the European Golden Boot wasn't just won by Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez.
Yes, dear friends, it was won by the likes of Mario Jardel, who scored 42 goals in one season for Sporting before realising that until you've proved yourself at Bolton you aren't a top, top player.
The Brazilian was only 29 when he arrived but scored just three goals in 11 games for Allardyce's side, two of which came against Walsall. European Golden Fraud.
Ibrahim Ba was destined for great things when he started playing for Le Havre as a 17-year-old.
His career path was heading the right way, from Bordeaux to Milan, with a sprinkling of French caps, before injuries struck.
That didn't put Allardyce off taking a gamble in 2003, although it didn't pay off and a year later he was sold to Turkey. Can't blame Sam for trying.
You might not realise it, but the Greek Footballer of the Year is the one they all want to win. Yep, even Lionel.
In 2003 Stelios Giannakopoulos was crowned the Best Greek Player, before hot footing it to Adonis Allardyce.
By the start of his second season in England Stelios was a European Champion, having been part of Greece's Euro 2004 squad.
The least glamorous of Allardyce's bargain Galacticos came in the shape of burly target man Kevin Davies, a 26-year-old free transfer from Southampton.
He'd become one of Bolton's greatest servants, staying for ten years and entering the pantheon of England one cap wonders after playing against Montenegro.
In true fashion the Premier League's biggest (Robbie) fouler picked up a yellow card despite playing just 21 minutes.
