Pope Benedict says prayer, mission were foundations of John Paul's life
By Cindy Wooden, Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II's life and ministry were built on prayer and on witnessing to the Gospel, Pope Benedict XVI said after watching a Polish-produced documentary about his predecessor.
"Once again I want to underline the two foundations of his life and ministry: prayer and missionary zeal," the pope said April 9 after a Vatican screening of the documentary, "John Paul II: I Kept Looking for You."
Pope Benedict watched the film in the early evening with the director and producers, several cardinals and Vatican officials.
After the screening, he said: "John Paul II was a great contemplative and a great apostle. God chose him for the see of Peter and protected him so he could lead the church into the third millennium. With his example he guided us all in this pilgrimage and still continues to accompany us from heaven."
The film was directed by Jaroslaw Szmidt and has been playing in Polish theaters since March 11; Tadeusz Lampka, one of the producers, told reporters at the Vatican that 300,000 people had seen the film in Poland in its first month on the big screen.
The producers plan on having DVDs of the film in several languages ready for sale by May 1, when Pope Benedict beatifies his predecessor.
The film concentrates on Pope John Paul's pontificate and includes some 50 interviews.
Among the spiritual leaders interviewed are the Dalai Lama; Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople; and Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, a former chief rabbi of Israel.
Pope John Paul's closest aides appear in the documentary, as do journalists, an Italian actor, Polish and Italian politicians and Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan.

Two Classic Atari Video Games Are Getting Their Own Movies
By Dirk Libbey published 13 May 16
2016 seems to be the year that Hollywood puts some serious muscle behind trying to turn video games into movies. While Ratchet and Clank was not the property that legitimized the medium, we still have Warcraft and Assassin's Creed to look forward to. While the jury is still out on whether either of them will become a bonafide hit, that's not stopping the studios from continuing to option video game titles for feature films. However, in a very different move, this time, the plan is go back to gaming's classic era. A studio has partnered with Atari to turn Missile Command and Centipede into movies.
Deadline is reporting that Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films, a production company previously responsible for 2 Guns and Mark Wahlberg's Lone Survivor, has made a deal with Atari to turn the popular games into films. Both released in 1980, as coin-operated arcade games, Centipede was a rapid fire shooter where the player tried to blast away attacking pests, including spiders, fleas, and, yes, centipedes. Missile Command was a defense game in which the player protected six cities from incoming missiles, by blasting them with projectiles of their own. This isn't the first time somebody has tried to turn Missile Command into a movie, but that attempt fizzled out.
While both games are surely fondly remembered by anybody who spent the 1980s in video arcades losing quarters, or who grew with an Atari 2600, they might not be a gamer's first two choices for movie adaptations. Needless to say, video games from that era were light on any sort of story and were driven entirely by mechanics. While this gives any future screenwriter carte blanche to create their script, it also means that any future movie based on Missile Command would have a hard time actually feeling like the classic game. Sure, you can make a movie about heroes defending a city from an incoming missile attack, but how much will it really have to do with the video game?
This isn't the only place where E/F/O/ Films is trying to turn a vague concept into a film. They are also the company behind the attempt to make a Monopoly movie, based on the classic board game. As those of us who suffered through Battleship may remember, that's not an easy task.
What do you think of movies based on Missile Command and Centipede? Which classic 1980s video games would you like to see turned into films?

Earlier, journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, released screenshots of chats between herself and Special Spesh, where he stated that Chioma was having multiple affairs in London and cheating on Davido.
However, Special Spesh came out to refute the allegations in a series of Instagram videos.
A few hours later, Kemi Olunoyo has speedily replied him with threats to prove she's not afraid and affected by what Spesh had said in his Recent video to her.


Busan is the fifth largest port of the world. The Busan Opera House (BOH) is located in the Busan North Port development area. This zone is home to a cultural complex department, museums, a maritime culture center, a cruise center, waterfront causeway, public parks, an opera, a theater and a business district.
It is crucial that the BOH program and its architectural form integrate into the existing master plan, and express the new and unique creative character of the Busan North Port.
The BOH is situated at the southern end of a new artificial island. The form of the proposed project is a direct result of the site conditions: on the one hand, the plan is a response to the island's outline, and on the other hand, the form of the BOH recalls the silhouette of the mountains surrounding the city. The circular form is also designed to allude to the Taegeuk and the traditional ceramic base. The smooth shape is meant to be a contemporary interpretation of these elements of traditional Korean culture.
As a result, the BOH is designed to provide harmony and balance to the Busan North Port Development.
A particularly key and innovative feature of the proposed design for the BOH is its patio formed by a void in the center of the new Opera House. This void is at the center of the site, and is also at the heart of the project. As Anish Kapoor said, "Emptiness does lead to emptiness". Everything is organized around this central void: a circular foyer makes a loop and connects the Opera, the Multipurpose Theater and the Multipurpose Hall. This emptiness (which is actually a major space that gives this project an innovative identity) shrouds an exterior bench surrounding a water pond that is directly connected to the sea. This void provides an exceptional location for theatrical events – an extension of the shows occurring inside the BOH- this creating an animated and exceptional space in the Busan North Port.
The temporary stage on the floating platforms in the pond combined with LED screen system -that constitutes a sun protection system for the foyer and ensures a warm space- on the facade of the patio offers a waterfront spectacle every night for all Busan inhabitants.
The BOH is in harmony with the spirit of Busan Port like a beat flowing with music. The chorus lies in the heart of the busan north port: a multitude of impressions coming from multiple sources blend naturally to form a harmonious whole, creating a dramatic and emotional space. and of course, the natural beauty of the Lake Melasjärvi.

Q: Maya polyInfo -ve return the wrong values I'm slowly learning my way through python and Maya, so I'm probably doing something wrong.
So, for some reason, when I use polyInfo, it returns the wrong information.
Example, on the basic plane, I select one vertice and execute the following command.
import maya.cmds as cmds

cmds.polyInfo(ve = True)

It returns
# Result: [u'VERTEX     48:     93     90     72     92 \n'] #

Those vertices aren't relative at all to the one I selected. Hell, sometimes, it returns non-existing vertices, depending on the selected one.
I don't know if relevant, but I have the same result in MEL with
polyInfo -ve

The doc isn't useful to me and I have a hard time finding someone with a similar problem.
What's the deal here?

A: What do you want to query ? Can you give an example of your script.
The flag -ve return from maya documentation : Returns the Edges connected to a vertex. Requires vertices to be selected.
http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/CommandsPython/polyInfo.html
Are you feeding the command with a selection : i.e :
edges = cmds.polyInfo("pPlane1.vtx[48]", ve=True)

so it is giving as output : 'VERTEX    48:' selection is vertex number 48 (a single one at the moment), '     93     90     72     92 ' and it is connected to 4 edges with the indexes : 93, 90,72,92
EDIT :
here is an example code to select the edges:
edges = cmds.polyInfo(['pPlane1.vtx[54]', 'pPlane1.vtx[43]'], ve=True)
selOut = []
for i in edges:
    # split the indexes
    indexes = i.split(':')[-1].split(' \n')[0].split('    ')[1:]
    # write as : pPlane1.e[]
    selEdges = ['pPlane1.e[{}]'.format(j.replace(' ','')) for j in indexes]
    # merge the selection
    selOut+=selEdges
# remove duplicated edges :
newSel = list(set(selOut))
cmds.select(newSel)

Niccolò Gianpriamo (Aversa, 22 October 1686 - Naples, 14 April 1759) was an Italian Jesuit, missionary and astronomer.

He entered the Jesuit order in Naples in 1702 and was a missionary throughout China. On 1 January 1705, he asked Father Michelangelo Tamburini, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, if he could go missionary to the East Indies. He was appointed as mathematician at the Beijing imperial court and on 12 April 1714 he embarked from Lisbon for the China. On 17 September of the same year he arrived in Goa, on the western coast of India. On 16 May 1715 he left Goa and he arrived in Macao on 16 August. Gianpriamo continued his mission to Canton where he arrived on 22 October 1716 and then in Beijing from 2 January 1717.

In addition to his mathematical commitments, he was also appointed as apostolic notary, transcribing the most significant documents concerning the catholic mission.

With the failure of the legation of the Holy See in China led by Monsignor Carlo Ambrogio Mezzabarba, Gianpriamo left Beijing on 13 March 1721 to report the results of the legation and to bring a letter of the emperor Kangxi for the Pope. Gianpriamo decided to return to Italy through Russia. He was the only missionary ever authorized by Tsar Peter the Great to cross the Empire. He arrived in Rome on 19 October 1722 and the Pope Innocent XIII ordered him not to leave Rome. In September 1725 he was allowed to return to his province, with the exception of the city of Naples, where he could only reside since 1738.

He taught Italian literature, moral theology, mathematics and astronomy at the Collegio del Salvatore and from 1740 at the Seminary of the Nobles. Gianpriamo published the treatise on astronomy Specula parthenopaea uranophilis juventibus excitata in 1748 for his pupils of the Neapolitan college. He reported the observations made in Europe, in China and in his travels by land and sea, calculating the ephemeris of stars and planets for the meridian of Naples.

Welcome to Science and Social Studies Adventures!
Interested in helping K-12 students connect science and social studies to their communities and the world around them? Learn how to become a YERP Mentor for our inaugural 2020-21 program! Or sponsor a YERP student!
Science and Social Studies Adventures (SASSA) is about bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise from within the community to enhance K-12 education. Whether in their classroom or in the field, our hands-on activities encourage the development of critical thinking skills and offer students innovative inquiry-based approaches for learning complex subjects. These materials are also adaptable to accommodate various learning styles, not just those developed for mainstream settings. We connect researchers with K-12 students to help both sides better understand the relationship between what happens in research and what happens in society. For us, science encompasses different ways diverse people explore and respond to phenomena in our natural and social worlds; social studies is concerned with the implications of these phenomena on past and present human groups. We further emphasize this connection by advocating K-12 participation in original research.
Our emphasis on experiential learning and original research means that SASSA operates both in and out of the classroom. We help students in the Twin Cities fall in love with science and social studies.
Interested in helping students connect science and social studies to their communities and the world around them? If the answer is Yes!, we invite you to explore the following pages to see how you could get involved with SASSA.

Csaba Pléh (, ), né le  à Sárisáp est un psychologue, linguiste, neurologiste, secrétaire adjoint de l'Académie hongroise des sciences, professeur titulaire du département des sciences cognitives de l'université polytechnique et économique de Budapest et créateur d'écoles de recherches dans le domaine des sciences cognitives.

Vie et activités

Études et titres scientifiques
Csaba Pléh fait ses études supérieures à l'université Loránd Eötvös de Budapest et y acquiert ses titres scientifiques. Son diplôme de psychologie date de 1969, celui de linguistique générale et appliquée date de 1973. Il a soutenu sa thèse de doctorat d'université en 1970, celle de la candidature en 1984 et celle du doctorat d'académie en 1997. Après l'habilitation en 1998, il a acquis le titre de professeur d'université. Il a été admis à l'Académie hongroise des sciences comme membre correspondant en 1998 et comme membre titulaire en 2004. Actuellement il est le secrétaire adjoint de l'Académie.

Enseignements et écoles
Ses activités d'enseignant et ses recherches scientifiques sont liées à trois universités de Hongrie (université Loránd Eötvös de Budapest, l'université de Szeged, l'université polytechnique et économique de Budapest) et à plusieurs universités étrangères, comme l'université Rutgers, l'université de l'Indiana, l'université de Vienne, l'université Harvard de Boston, mais par sa participation à des projets nationaux et internationaux aussi bien que ses activités éditoriales lui ont permis d'exercer une influence plus large dans le domaine des sciences linguistiques et cognitives sur le plan national et international également. Il ne faut donc pas s'étonner si un de ses élèves écrit qu'il envie et révère à la fois ceux « pour qui le plus grand ensemble de données est facilement perceptible et transparent, qui sont capables de suivre la multitude des acquis récents et qui sont capables de travailler d'une façon analytique et penser d'une manière synthétique, et dont le pragmatisme encourage les autres et ne perdent jamais leur élan ». Puis il ajoute: « Tel est l'homme en l'honneur de qui j'ai rédigé ce chapitre, et à qui je suis tellement reconnaissant : Pléh, Csaba ».
Pléh, Csaba a mis en place, en 1999, le Programme cognitif et neuropsychologique de Szeged dans le cadre de l'Institut psychologique  de l'université de Szeged.

Depuis le , il est le professeur titulaire fondateur du Département des Sciences cognitives  à l'université polytechnique et économique de Budapest et directeur du Groupe de recherches neuropsychologique et psycholinguistique à la même université.

 Domaines de recherches, écoles
La science de la cognition est l'un des domaines de recherches les plus jeunes et les plus motivants dont l'objectif est de découvrir les méandres de l'esprit et de la nature humaine. Elle est née, pendant les années 1960, de la rencontre de la psychologie, de la philosophie, de la linguistique, de la biologie et de l'informatique moderne. Csaba Pléh, dont les recherches sont internationalement reconnues, est en même temps le pionnier de cette nouvelle branche de recherches en Hongrie. Après avoir mis en place des écoles de recherches dans le domaine de cette nouvelle science, il continue d'être le maître de nouvelles générations de cognitivistes. En collaboration étroite avec ses partenaires, ses élèves et anciens élèves il travaille à de nombreux domaines de la science de la cognition comme l'apprentissage de la langue maternelle, le traitement de linguistique cognitive des données, le bilinguisme, la mémoire, la perception, la psychologie évolutionniste, la philosophie et l'histoire des sciences.

Csaba Pléh  est un psychologue créateur d'écoles, rédacteur de revues, de séries de publications aussi bien que de recueils collectifs en Hongrie et à l'étranger. Il a inspiré et animé beaucoup de colloques et a lancé la publication de recueils des conférences et interventions de ces colloques et de congrès internationaux. Tout en étant un enseignant et chercheur éminent reconnu en Hongrie et dans les universités étrangères, il a toujours été capable de considérer ses collègues et ses étudiants en vrais partenaires.

La Fondation des Sciences cognitives de Hongrie organisée par Márta Fehér en 1993 (Abréviation hongroise: MAKOG) (Hungarian Foundation of Cognitive Science) a rendu possible l'organisation de conférences et de colloques nationaux. Les organisateurs de la série de colloques ont été Csányi Vilmos, Kampis György, Pléh Csaba. Ces colloques ont exercé une influence bénéfique sur le développement d'une branche scientifique encore très jeune en Hongrie, et ces différentes manifestations sont d'une manière ou d'une autre liées aux activités de Pléh, Csaba. Voici certains thèmes de ses colloques.

 Le colloque de FIKOG (Jeunes COGnitivistes) (Budapest, 11-12 mai 1995)
Les interventions du colloque organisé sous l'égide de la Société des Jeunes COGnivistes (FIKOG) ont été publiées dans un recueil collectif.

 Colloque Interdisciplinaire (Szeged, 1994)
Organisateurs: Le comité régional des sciences pédagogiques de l'Académie des Sciences de Hongrie, le Centre des Sciences pédagogiques et le Département de Psychologie de l'École Supérieure de Pédagogie Gyula Juhász.
Thèmes : cerveau-esprit, évolution, changement de régime et symétrie–asymétrie.

 Colloque Interdisciplinaire (Szeged, 11-12 sept 1995)
Ce colloque a été organisé par les comités spécialisés régionaux de l'Académie  de Hongrie. Thèmes des discussions : Éthologie, conscience de tous les jours, psychologie. Les textes des conférences et les interventions rédigées ont été publiés en 1997.

Omicron has a 91% lower chance of death than delta variant of COVID-19: study

I currently have it, and it's NOT JUST LIKE A COLD for me. Vaxxed and boosted. Been sick for 7 days already. Pretty healthy guy, heavy exerciser. Will drop my symptoms for those of you who might be going through the same garbage.
Severe Congestion
Very sore throat first days
Massive sleep disruptions, often through hallucinogenic dreams and sleep paralysis last night
Recent night sweats
Recent severe constipation
Random body pains, stomach pains, joint pain
Brain fog, especially early on
Infection was initially just upper respiratory, but is now dropping into the lungs, deep coughing with lots of phlegm
Surprising lack of fever for the most part.
This shit sucks so bad.
ID: hsif04g
Do you know if you have Omicron or Delta? You can still catch Delta in some areas.
ID: hsih7yk
That sounds a lot like what I had, just substitute the constipation and phlegm with fever. First time i had it in March it lasted 4 weeks. I got back on track with my training and got it fkn again in October, for 5 weeks. That really messed me up, I'm still recovering.
ID: hsii80f
Thanks for the details.
I had the original strain prior to vaccines being released and it is very interesting how your progression is different.
Mine started with a fever, chills and body aches for a few days. It then progressed into a bad cold with bad cough.
Then the brain fog and fatigue onset. The cold symptoms cleared after a few days, the cough lingered and the brain fog/fatigue lingered for like two weeks (I started to work again for half days).

It's nice to know that but I still don't want any part of it.

Agreed. Getting through this pandemic having never having COVID is still my end goal.
ID: hsgb2g3
I currently have it, it's just like having a cold. Of course I have been vaccinated, and boosted.
ID: hsh8cgg
I'm currently going through it. I also had alpha and I'm double jabbed. Omicron is less than a mild allergy, at least for me.
ID: hsi6whe
I had a rough time with COVID this last week, even though I fit the profile of someone that should not have. You just never know until you get it. I never eat to find out again.
ID: hsguqo6
Ur going to get it eventually. if you talk to people in public even with a mask on, you will most likely get it.
ID: hsgfj3j
Anecdotal I know: but I'm vaxxed and boosted but was just a cold for a few days. It's not going anywhere so if you're vaccinated you shouldn't fear it (unless you're immune compromised)
ID: hshaw04
Yeah you
ID: hshnqxh
Same. Took a look at the long covid subreddit, and that part of having covid sounds hellish.
ID: hshgijd
How about just a little of the mRNA rhar builds its spike proteine, just for immune training purposes? Weird to say that, but I guess biologically the vaccines are a part of the virus.

Yes, except that Omicron case rates have surpassed 5x compared to Delta in many states.
So the 91% lower death rate and the 5x higher case would still result in Omicron causing 1/2 (0.09 x 5) as many deaths as Delta.

Why can't you people just accept good news?
ID: hshkayc
Good news post, comments section: "Nope, I'm going to pick through every word of this to find the most pessimistic outlook."
Bad news post, comments section: "Yeah, this is undoubtedly the end of the world. We told you! Lockdown lockdown lockdown!"
ID: hshkc01
It shows how super-not-republican I am to denounce any hint that the pandemic may eventually end.
ID: hshknse
Snark and doom gets those upvotes and engagement.
ID: hshz4hh
Personally I know too many people who are using any scrap of "good news" to justify their overall irresponsible and irrational behavior. I'm glad to hear it probably won't kill me, but I also know that this news will give my in laws another batch of conspiracy bullshit about vitamin c etc. that I will have to deal with.
ID: hshxv68
I think it's more like "this is good, but if you think it's so good that we can start ignoring Omicron as a threat, you're way off."
Some people want every piece of slightly good news to mean we should drop all restrictions immediately, and that is a dangerous take.
Once we're over the hump of Omicron we will likely be able to reduce restrictions more but right now things are bad.

What does "accepting good news" mean to you?
Because I'd say it is pretty important to note that even though it's significantly less deadly on an individual level, it's so ridiculously infectious that hospitals are being hit harder than at any point during the pandemic.
The last thing we need is people being complacent about it.
ID: hshsulj
Because they're scared, pitiful people. You would think these people have never been sick in their life to think the world would end if they are fully vaxxed and get omicron. I get that nobody likes being sick but it was probably the least sick I've ever felt having a "real" virus. Flu, strep, sinus infections, and even just some general common colds have all been worse for me. I get that it will impact each individual differently, but at the macro level, this is not severe and most people will not become very sick.
If we can just get people to stop running to hospitals for testing that would be great.
ID: hshfi85
Because both sides are death cults of a sort. Don't expect optimism.
ID: hsihe8t
Because it's at odds with studies that controlled for age, vaccination, and prior infection. For example this one from South Africa:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.12.22269148v1
Omicron is only about 25% less deadly than Delta - it's just that vaccines (and even prior infection) work really well at stopping people from dying.
ID: hsiijza
Yes it's good but it could also cause people to be in Irresponsible. They see it's mild so they don't care about being careful anymore. When the truth is hospitals are struggling. I for a text from my doctors (England) saying nobody can go as there's not enough staff present. If more and more people get it, this just gets worse and worse. It may be mild but if more people catch it the more problems than Delta

Good news (from the article):
When patients are hospitalized with omicron, they have much shorter stays in the hospital, with a median stint of just 36 hours compared to five days with delta.

ID: hsgm86k
It hasn't been around long enough to assess long covid, although there have been some suggestions that as it's an upper airways infection with different cell entry methods, that the risk, and effects of long covid are much lower.
We likely won't know for sure until the Spring.
ID: hsghw68
It's also a misleading headline because this isn't intrinsic severity: it's severity after accounting for immunity from vaccination and previous infections. There was a Twitter thread by an epidemiologist the other day who did the math and estimated omicron's intrinsic severity is the same as the original strain, which is better than Delta but still hardly great.
However, I believe that study was only looking at hospitalizations rather than mortality. The results of this pre-print seem to line up with that one in terms of hospitalization risk.
Edited; I shouldn't be commenting on Reddit when I'm tired.

Delta has completely died out in my metro area (100% of samples are omicron now)
even though you do get protection from delta, i dont think it even matters. delta simply cannot complete with omicron - not by a long shot - and will likely die out globally along with every other strain preceding omicron

Omicron seems to help the body develop polygenic antibodies which block all known strains decreasing risk of re-infection with other strains. This is likely the beginning of the end finally as it outcompetes other strains as well / start of the beginning of endemic covid omicron.

It won't be a big problem from Omicron which attacks your throat. Previous versions ended up in the lungs, causing irreparable or at least semi-permanent damage which is the main cause of long Covid.
I've had both Alpha and Omicron. Omicron is like a very mild allergy. Not only for me but over a hundred other people I know that's had it or is currently infected. Alpha was a whole different beast.

Totally agree. Hospitalization is already a nightmare to the patient and what is overloading the system. There is too much discussion of lethality.

Two words that scare me more than death or a ventilator (and those are both pretty bad, too.): Long COVID.
ID: hsg9at5
A week after I had a very mild case of covid, my sense of smell and taste got distorted with some foods. It was so disgusting, I couldn't eat for those few days, I still can't eat the foods that smelled bad even though they don't smell anymore, and I still haven't gotten my appetite back. I read stories of people who have been suffering this long term since they got covid, I have no idea how they live with it, I barely made it a few days.

Once I started reading the stories of long COVID's, bless them all, I ran right out and got Vaxxed.

For some peace of mind, remember Long Covid doesn't always end up being SUPER long. I had long covid both times I caught Covid; each bout was about 2 months long. But then I recovered (at least as far as I am aware) after each 2 month period. It was hella long, but it wasn't life-time debilitating (again - at least as far as I am aware).

Long COVID scares you more than death. Amazing. That's enough Reddit for me today.

While I absolutely agree I also know of a person claiming Long COVID who definitely doesn't have it (simply not possible at the time she claims to have gotten it and her reclusive nature, basically she had a lot of conditions that already existed and then claimed it was COVID. She lives in a country with socialized healthcare so she could have been treated earlier, chose not to be, then blamed it all on Long COVID. It disgusts me because it minimizes what other people are going through, and it gives her a platform to pontificate about it.

Is this because vaccinated people can also easily contract it and the vaccines lower the chances of death? Is there any information on whether it is or isn't more deadly for un-vaccinated people?
ID: hsh9gks
It's too early to say but I'd guess that omicron has an extremely low death rate with or without vaccines. Being vaccinated will give you better odds but those odds were already very good with omicron. I'm only speculating because it's still early but my guess is that Omicron deaths will be lower than 0.01%
ID: hsi2sjg
Idk bout death, but table s4 of the paper shows, for unvaccinated folks, that 1.78 of non omicron cases turn into hospitalization, versus 0.31 percent of omicron cases, which gives some evidence that it's less severe for non vaccinated folks. Which would make it 83.6 percent less likely to hospitalize you. Though disclaimer, not a scientist, so I could be misreading it.
Edit: hmmm, though now that I think of it, if people got disproportionately vaccinated by age, that would also skew the results. Eg, if more old people got vaccinated between Delta and omicron, then omicron unvaccinated people are going to be younger, making them more resilient than then delta folks... :/
Guess we need a table controlling for both age and vaccination status... But there might not be enough sample size to do that kind of analysis yet...
ID: hsi0bwr
That question was asked in the comments on medrxiv. Another comment pointed out that there is a full tabulation of demographics including vaccination status.
I can barely read it but I do not think the papers summary is an accurate representation of the full sample, and the Daily News article is even less accurate.

ID: hsgkdf1
Last I heard, omicron only has 10% lower rate of hospitalization compared to delta for the immunonaive.
So the lions share of the lower severity seems to come from vaccines and previous infections.
ID: hshecjg
It's not. Essentially there haven't been enough more people vaccinated suddenly to change the trend in death. As cases rise drastically, deaths rise slightly but not at a proportion consistent with delta.
25 :Anonymous:2022/01/13(Thu) 14:26:43ID: hshmq4l
They really need to stop making big headline claims when it's not even peer reviewed. My 30yo friend in much better physical shape than myself caught it after New Years, was extremely sick for almost a week. Still has a cough and unable to get access to testing. They were vaxxed and boosted.

According to the "new California study" referenced but not linked in this article, double and triple (boosted) vaccinated Omicron cases had a slightly higher incidence rate of symptomatic hospitalization than unvaccinated Omicron cases.
Scroll down to Table S4. Go down to All Cases. Go to Vaccination. Under Cumulative Events Over Observed Follow-Up, the second column refers to Omicron cases (SGTF).
Among the unvaccinated the rate of symptomatic hospitalization was 3.1 per 1000 cases.
The rate of symptomatic hospitalization for the double vaccinated was 3.4 per 1000 cases.
And for the boosted the rate was 4.8 per 1000 cases.
This data seems to suggest that vaccines and boosters may not be effective at preventing symptomatic hospitalization for those infected with Omicron (though the rate of symptomatic hospitalization is still very low here regardless of vaccination status).
ID: hshqeai
Unvaccinated people that are going out in public probably skew younger and healthier, while boosted people probably skew older and more at risk

My guess is that it will turn out being the same if you're vaccinated or not for omicron. Vaccines appear to have no effect on omicron.

Stupid question...
This study says omicron is 91% less likely to kill you and 74% less likely to put you in the ICU than Delta.
https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/study-suggests-delta-more-than-doubles-death-risk
says a Canadian study found Delta's chances of death were 133% higher compared to the original strain, while the probability of ICU admission increased by 235%.
Is it possible to do a mathematical calculation with these numbers to determine a comparison between Omicron and the original variant? I'm assuming it's not just a matter of subtracting.
ID: hsguvrs
Deaths: (1+1.33) * (1-0.91) = 0.21ICU: (1+2.35) * (1-0.74) = 0.87
So about 79% less deadly and and 13% less likely to put you in ICU, if you quoted the stats right and I did the math corrextly
42 :Anonymous:2022/01/13(Thu) 13:02:19ID: hshceah
I am still unsure if I had Omicron, used to have to do rapid tests to get into the gym. Was fully vaxxed and didnt go out much, one of the tests I did seemingly didnt work so I threw it in my bag and did another one that quickly turned clearly negative. Two or three weeks later I clean my bag and find the test from back then turned positive (altough not clearly but a faint second line but still). That was around the time I got boostered, maybe that explains why I had rougher symptoms from the vaccination if I had Omicron at the time. Or maybe the test turned faintly positive because I did it around the time I got boostered.

That's great but still has the unique trait of the original virus, unpredictability. My friend got it from her dad. Both vaccinated. Dad had mild to nothing symptoms. My friend had the worst cold/flu symptoms of her entire life. Luckily she has recovered but she says she is terrified of it now.

Seems about right, I was looking at case numbers and death numbers, and though there's a lag and not good strain allocation, just looking at the growth in one segment minus the previous trend, and the lack of growth in the other lead to a ratio reduction of 75-80%, so with more precise attribution modeling this seems fairly accurate.
That being said, that's immediate mortality, that doesn't speak to the long term mortality which won't be directly attributed. For example, Cedar Sinai released a paper recently showing of 177 covid confirmed cases, 6 months out from infection, 177 had increased levels of auto-antibodies. Autoantibodies cause the body to attack itself in what we call autoimmune disease like autoimmune hepatitis, lupus, rhumatoid arthritis, etc
Also there's 17,200,000+ long covid cases in America where they have increased clotting factors at minimum 6 months after recovery, which will lead to clot related illnesses like PE and stroke massively increasing over time.

I just saw a chart here on reddit that has hospitalizations at its highest point since the beginning of this pandemic.

I had it early in the wave and, for me (triple vaxxed w/ 2 X pfizer, 1 X moderna), it was the mildest cold I may have ever had in my life. Annoying congestion, a very mild cough that formed on the third day. Congestion went away entirely on the 4th day and the cough lingered for about 10 days even though I felt completely fine after day 5. I didn't even skip a workout through any of this.
I realize that it'll be different for everyone, but just want to leave my experience so that you don't only see the worst instances.

However the confidence interval on that estimate is huge... From 25%-99% less deadly.
Rates of ICU admission and mortality after an outpatient positive test were 0.26 (0.10-0.73) and 0.09 (0.01-0.75) fold as high among cases with Omicron variant infection as compared to cases with Delta variant infection

The inaugural Silsoe Stride took place in 2013 under the directorship of Anne Bhattacherjee. The idea of a fundraising fun run was born out of the need to raise funds to replace the lead on the village hall roof, which had been stolen. I the years since then the Silsoe Stride has also supported a number of other groups within the village and we will continue to help more local charities over the coming years.
For more information on the local charities we support this year please contact us on info@silsoestride.co.uk.


Added by raztoki almost 4 years ago.
this is useful when user creates generic rules to format package names but still wants obey decrypter set packagenames. For example when adds a link from youtube which sets customised packagename within plugin settings. They then have to edit generic rule to ignore rule youtube links. They effectively need todo that for every decrypter plugin that sets packagename. This feature would allow quick ease to ignore generic package customiser rules without the need to set ignores based on source.
This feature should still work in well with current implementation of the add links dialog to ignore package customiser. Add link dialog should be applied first > then package customiser rule conditions.
Guess we need to keep track of which entity sets packagename, add property to FilePackage class todo this.

London has come out on top for senior customer experience job opportunities, research from customer insights technology company Feefo has found.
A customer experience officer (CXO) is essentially responsible for customer experience of a company's products and services. The use of data, artificial intelligence and multi-channel services to improve the way in which companies interact with customers is of growing importance to businesses.
With user experience becoming a key factor is a business's success and strategy, CXOs are more sought-after than ever and according to research by Deloitte, businesses that have customers as a core focus are 60% more profitable than that don't.
According to the research, London has over 500% more vacancies in senior customer experience roles than the global average, beating Seattle, New York, Toronto and Sydney.
Analysis of salaries in both the UK and the US for these roles found that in the UK 33% of senior customer experience jobs offer a salary of £50,000 or higher versus only 25% in the US, reflect the fact that companies are keen to recruit customer experience professionals.
The results support research from the Economist Intelligence Unit from last year which showed that more than one in four UK companies have increased investment in customer experience by more than 25% in the last three years. This shows that this is an area businesses are keen to invest in, alongside other areas such as price and product.
However, the findings indicate that while London is placing an emphasis on CX recruitment, the rest of the UK has some catching up to do. The UK as a whole has just 70 job vacancies for senior CX roles per million, compared with the US which has 316 vacancies per million of the working population, and Canada at 103.

Button City
It's hard not to be taken in by the cutesy, bright, low-poly visual style of Button City — a narrative-driven indie adventure that packs plenty of charm, is filled with adorable anthropomorphic animals (think Animal Crossing), and has a surprisingly endearing story.
You play as 'Fennel' a young fox that's new to town and trying to make friends.
After stumbling into an arcade (remember those), you quickly find yourself with a new group of quirky pals, ready to take on a rival team in playing the arcade favourite 'Gobabots'.
The core gameplay here is notably slow, seemingly by design.
You're offered a markedly chill experience — not only through the charming aesthetic and leisurely soundtrack (a note on that here), but also by way of pacing and the primary gameplay loop.
Button City's storyline plays out with you traveling from one locale to the next, speaking to a character here and there to move things forward, with the odd side quest thrown in for good measure. It's a lot of back and forth, with the bulk of your tasks being to chat to the right folks in the right order to progress.
This almost sedate gameplay is greatly helped along by amusing and endearing writing.
The dialog does a really good job of packing in plenty of detail and colour to make the cutesy animals you're interacting with actually seem like fleshed out real beings with lives and relatable problems of their own. Having such a rapport and connection with these fluffy friends really comes into its own later in the game when a common enemy emerges.
This laid back pacing of the overall experience will either be seen as a plus in your eyes or as a general point of frustration — I'd say it really depends on how leisurely you like to take things and where your preference lies in terms of the balance between narrative dialog and adventure gameplay.
Sadly, this overall slow tempo isn't helped by a notably irksome walking speed, and predominantly clunky interactions.
Moving around the world is rather sluggish, and anytime you want to interact with an object your character will readjust themselves to a desired position first — this often resulted in you having to watch a drawn-out animation as your little fox gets in to place.
It's a minor gripe, but it does add up, and I found it rather tiresome on the whole — it's a pesky niggle that if fixed would be a significant quality of life update.
Beyond the main story, the gameplay gets a welcome dose of variety via the in-game arcade — it's here where you can play a handful of titles, including a racing game, a rather fast dancing DDR-type, and the aforementioned Gobabots.
These little slices of arcade fun aren't particularly remarkable, but they offer just enough to mix things up, and are a welcome addition to the main quest. It's a neat touch how the arcade, and the games within them, are both tied into the story in a meaningful way.
Button City is a leisurely, feel-good, sugary sweet narrative adventure that doesn't outstay its welcome. You'll probaly see through the main story in a long afternoon or two, whereas completionist will get a touch more out of it thanks to some collectibles.
I will note that I did hit a few minor bugs during my playthrough — but fixes are said to be on the way, and they generally didn't hamper my experience.
This isn't for everyone, but if such a saccharine sweet experience appeals to you, you'll find something to like here. It's chill and charming, with a satisfying story that ultimately stands above the core gameplay on offer.

Portsmouth cosmologists recognised for contribution to major new space mission
Major new space mission aims to understand why the expansion of the Universe is accelerating
Faculty of Science and Health

Cosmology and Astrophysics
Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation
What is sharing?
Cosmologists from the University of Portsmouth have been recognised for their crucial contribution to the European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid satellite mission.
Euclid, which is due for launch in 2022, aims to understand why the expansion of the Universe is accelerating and what is the mysterious and unknown 'dark energy', the source responsible for this acceleration that represents around 75 per cent of the Universe.
Professor Bob Nichol, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) and Professor Adam Amara, Royal Society Wolfson Fellow in the University's Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG), are named as 'Founders' for their substantial contributions to the "Euclid Consortium" - the single team that has the scientific responsibility of the mission, the data production and of the scientific instruments.
Professor Nichol said: "I am extremely proud of our joint work with colleagues across Europe on this great scientific mission. While it's nice to receive this personal recognition, it does reflect the long-term commitment of many in Portsmouth and across the UK to work with colleagues on major international science projects like the Euclid mission. What gives me most pleasure is the prominence of the ICG in this amazing space project alongside more traditional universities.
I am extremely proud of our joint work with colleagues across Europe on this great scientific mission.
Professor Bob Nichol, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research)
Professor Adam Amara said: "This critical mission will help us to answer questions related to fundamental physics and cosmology on the nature and properties of dark energy, dark matter and gravity. By exploring how the Universe evolved over the past 10 billion years, Euclid will also provide insightful information on the physics of the early universe and on the initial conditions at the formation of cosmic structure."
The imprints of dark energy and gravity will be tracked by using two complementary cosmological probes to capture signatures of the expansion rate of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structures: Weak gravitational Lensing and Galaxy Clustering (Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations and Redshift Space Distortion).
The complete survey represents hundreds of thousands images and several tens of Petabytes of data. About 10 billion sources will be observed by Euclid out of which more than one billion will be used for weak lensing and several tens of million galaxy redshifts will be also measured and used for galaxy clustering. The scientific analysis and interpretation of these data is led by the scientists of the Euclid Consortium.

400 years of legal expertise judge National Mock Trial final
Maddalena Goldin
The Bar Mock Trial National Final is fast approaching, and here at Young Citizens we are getting ready to watch the best 24 schools compete for the coveted title of National Champions 2019.
This year's national final will be at Edinburgh Court of Session on the 23rd of March, and promises to be a highly enjoyable event for everyone involved. Overseeing proceedings in court we have twelve judges who collectively provide over 400 years of experience practising the law. You can see the full list of our volunteer judges in the event booklet.
As the lead officer of this unique and compelling competition, I have coordinated twenty-four heats – drawing together students from 200 schools and 1,000 legal professionals with volunteers representing every corner of the UK. Achieving these logistical successes has been deeply rewarding on a professional and personal note; but there was little time to stand around congratulating myself – I had a national final to plan!
Courtroom clashes serve up high drama
Having joined Young Citizens six-months ago, I have been impressed by the level of commitment and resolve the young people display during the courtroom clashes. Watching the students perform is riveting: they are well prepared, articulate and alert during every exchange and examination. Their knowledge of courtroom proceedings is as impressive as the skill showcased by the budding actors, speechwriters and lawyers. The culmination of which leaves you holding your breath until the winner is announced.
The amount of preparation that goes into the competition is not to be underestimated. And balancing it alongside their studies is not always easy for these 15-18 year olds. However, the competition exposes students to a great deal of valuable skills including: logical reasoning, clear communication and teamwork. One participant said:
"As a person with anxiety, I have seen an improvement in my confidence, something that counselling had not been able to provide. I have also been able to explore a career I had never thought of potentially going for."
One of the mock cases being used at the National Final has been specially written by Jon Kidd and Natalie Cabot at the Metropolitan Police Service. Working with them, we've provided students with an interesting and educational case, that makes participants reflect on the topic of hacking/computer misuse, but has enough grey area to push them to think on their feet during the trial.
Together we are empowering the next generation
Coordinating this beautiful machine makes me really feel we are working together to empower the next generation of citizens. This competition would not be happening without the long-standing support of our sponsors – particularly the Bar Council who have championed this immersive learning opportunity since for nearly three decades. At the National Final The Bar Council will be represented by its CEO, Malcolm Cree; Richard Atkins QC, Chair of the Bar Council; and Sam Mercer, Head of Policy, Equality and Diversity; with Sarah Ramsay, Chair of the Bar of Northern Ireland also in attendance. We are also delighted that Struan Campbell from Inner Temple, Andrew Smith from Lincoln's Inn and Kenneth Campbell QC from the Faculty of Advocates will be with us to run their eyes over some of the brightest talent of the future.
It is also important to mention Brick Court Chamber's involvement in the competition. Their social responsibility programme has allowed us to disperse travel bursaries to the finalists to relieve some of the financial burden of schools traveling to the Edinburgh finale. As a competition originally conceived to expose more young people from state schools to a possible future career in the legal sector, we are deeply grateful to all our partners who share our wider vision of: promoting public legal education in schools, supporting faith in public institutions and boosting social mobility.
A huge thanks goes to Edinburgh Court of Session for hosting the National Final as well as HMCTS and all the Crown Courts that supported our regional heats this year. I am very grateful and appreciative to the huge pool of volunteers involved in the competition: from student volunteers, to barrister mentors, to judges. We simply could not run this competition without your support!
For this year's catering, we have decided to opt for a local social enterprise called Social Bite. They are on a mission to build a collaborative movement to end homeliness in Scotland and we are glad they agreed to be part of our team for the day as Young Citizens hopes to give something back to the host city.
You can keep informed of events by following developments on our social media throughout the 23rd March using @YoungCitizensUK #MockTrials
If you are teacher or someone working within the legal profession and keen to get involved in next year's competition please connect with me. [email protected]

NH House, Senate setting up negotiating teams
What is known at the New Hampshire Statehouse as the "silly season" is upon us.
What is known at the New Hampshire Statehouse as the "silly season" is upon us. That is the time when the House and Senate decide which bills they want to try to negotiate compromises over. It's also when each chamber attaches bills the other body rejected to bills they hope will force negotiations. Sometimes that prods the reluctant side to take another look and sometimes it's a "poison pill" that kills both. House and Senate leaders already are naming people to negotiating teams. The Senate also meets Wednesday to vote whether it wants to pass or kill some bills the House made changes to. The legislative deadline to resolve differences over bills - including the state budget - is June 20 with floor votes by June 27.

I want to thank everyone for the personal messages, emails, and facebook messages I received about my latest Christmas short, We Two Kings. I don't think I've ever heard the words 'cute' or 'adorable' to describe one of my shorts as often, but under the circumstances, my movie was intended to give people warm fuzzies for the holidays so I'll accept that as positive feedback, haha.
Also notable were the comments about how great the project looked. Like I said in the post, I couldn't have lucked out more with the fresh snow and great weather for a day to shoot. Even I have to admit, the overall look - fake crowns and all - surpassed my own creative expectations.
And finally, a lot of you commented on my quirky and irreverent humor - thank you! haha. I couldn't have summed it up better myself, and I'd be lying to say that awkward comedy isn't a personal favorite of mine. Tyler and I play well off each other and I think it shows in the projects he's helped me with.
We Two Kings has proven to be a great way for me to close out 2009 and welcome Christmas. Thanks to all of you for checking it out and sharing your feedback, it's been a lot of fun to receive (and please feel free to send more). At this point it's a long way off, but as several of you asked, sequel anyone?
