Every project is unique, so I don't believe in silver bullet processes. However, over the years I've arrived a high-level approach inspired by various sources and experiences. I try to use it as a guide, particularly for solving product problems often within the context of a sprint.
The following is just an overview of some of the techniques I've used in the past. Its always evolving, and its application would completely depend on the nature of the problem, and the size and stage of the project or feature.
What the problem is that you're trying to solve?
And, how will you measure success?
Analyse and diagnose the problem. Is it even a real problem? What are the underlying mechanics at play? Who is the end-user? What are the business or product goals?
To solve any design problem, understanding who you're solving the problem for is critical. What are their motivations and typical behaviours? What questions might be running through their mind at each stage in the journey? In what context are they using the product? How have they solved their problem historically?
Audience research can involve everything from: user interviews, looking into any existing data, running consumer insights and quick experiments, creating data-informed personas, testing the original product, and competitor analyses.
What are the technical and business constraints surrounding the project? I like to work very closely with stakeholders, developers, business and product people to try and understand the parameters. It's important to triage the problem in the wider context of the roadmap — is this the most important thing and can we avoid repetition, or creating extra work?
Sometimes it's nice to wrap everything up in a clear, concise problem statement. While this might evolve organically, it can serve as a helpful north star. This is often the point at which a testable hypothesis can be formed, and the key measurable metrics can be defined.
Map out the information architecture and sort the information into logical categories. Understand the user journeys and what questions a user might have at each point in the journey.
Brainstorming with pen and paper, whiteboarding, PostIt®s. This is a continuous part of the process.
I don't tend to wireframe unless the project it is particularly complex, or expansive. But nevertheless there is a time and a place for wires. If a design system is in place — it can often be just as quick (and even more useful) to create the beginnings of a rough and ready set of visual designs using a symbol library, that can be refined later down the line and form the building blocks for the UI.
I use Sketch (and Photoshop for bitmap images). I have an unhealthy obsession with file organisation, and try to create a symbol library wherever possible.
Prototypes are usually critical. I use Marvel, Protoio, Invision, Principle, or code. These can then be tested carefully with the target audience.
Iterating based on any feedback received is critical. The prototype can be updated and tested again with the audience on loop, until it feels right.
I often try and design beyond the bounds of the MVP to future-proof a design. I then dial everything back into phased releases starting with an MVP, to try and harmonise with the product roadmap and technical constraints.
Prototypes often solve a lot of this problem. But particularly for complex projects, it can be well worth writing a clear specification for how the product, interactions, and nuances should work.
I like to work collaboratively with developers and help out wherever possible. Design, after all, is a conversation and an ongoing process of balancing iteration and trade-offs.
Provided there is sufficient traffic, I like to try and ship new features in an experimental format — usually an A/B test. Where appropriate, experiment-led product development really is the only way to scientifically understand whether or not a particular feature or product is performing.
Once the experiment has reached significance, the null hypothesis can either be validated or falsified, and the new variant shipped or discarded accordingly. It's always good to monitor experiments closely to watch for any major issues, but equally important to know when to let them run.
The whole process, or indeed parts of it, can be repeated based on the learnings.

Q: Mysql Drop column where all row value is null How can i drop all columns from a table where all its values are null ?
i have a huge table (100k+ rows) with around 20+ columns, lots of these columns are not used at all, so i want to remove all columns that is NULL in all rows

A: You could loop through each field in a cursor and perform the check and ALTER in one fell swoop, or you can just run a check in one step to see which fields aren't used:
SELECT MAX(col1) col1
      ,MAX(col2) col2
      ,MAX(col3) col3
      .....
FROM YourTable

Then remove any fields that have a MAX() of NULL:
ALTER TABLE YourTable DROP col2

There's Just One Blockbuster Video Left in the Entire Country
Matt Singer Published: July 13, 2018
There was a time where Blockbuster Videos were almost as ubiquitous in this country as Burger King or Walmart. They were everywhere. Then Netflix came along and completely upended the home video world, first with its DVDs by mail service, and then with its addition of online streaming. Almost as quickly as Blockbusters spread across the world, they began to disappear. As of 2018 there were just three stores still in operation. Now, make that one.
The Associated Press reports that two of the final three Blockbusters are going out of business. The manager of Blockbuster Alaska told the AP the stores will stop renting discs on Sunday; after a liquidation sale, their outlets in Anchorage and Fairbanks will close for good.
That leaves just one Blockbuster Video, in Bend, Oregon, as the last functioning store in the entire country. According to Deadline, at Blockbuster's peak it had "more than 9,000 stores, half outside the US, and employed more than 84,000 people worldwide." From 9,000 stores, down to just one in the United States.
It can be difficult for young people who've come of age in the era of streaming to understand the role Blockbuster Video played in the lives of budding cinephiles. Not that its legacy was purely benevolent; when Blockbuster came to my town in New Jersey, it systematically put most of the local video stores out of business, and some of them were bigger and had better selections. But for many of us, a weekly trip to Blockbuster to check the new releases or browse the racks of older titles was a beloved ritual. Streaming has its advantages; there is a reason it has taken over the movie world. But in its store, the video store was a special place.
So who wants to make a pilgrimage to Bend, Oregon with me? I must see the final Blockbuster with my own eyes. I'll even cover your late fees if you come with me.

The Rock Consumes 5,390 Calories Per Day, 821 Pounds of Cod Per Year
If cod fish goes extinct, we can 100 percent blame Dawyne "The Rock" Johnson.
Erin Mosbaugh
Dawyne Johnson, better known as WWE superstar The Rock, eats 10.5 pounds of food per day. What. A. Beast.
FiveThirtyEight put together a chart (above) that breaks down The Rock's seven daily meals. All that grub ads up to 5,390 calories; 1,069 of those calories come from his lunch alone. To put this in perspective, an average American male in his 40s consumes 2,734 calories a day.
The most interesting part of The Rock's diet: He eats 2.3 pounds of cod a day, which comes to 821 pounds of cod a year.
Alaskan frozen cod pieces are going for $3.99 per pound at the Trader Joe's in Chelsea according to FiveThirtyEight's Walt Hickey. Even if Johnson spent just $3.00 per pound on cod, that would mean he spends roughly $2,463 on cod every year.
Bros, put down the protein powder, and start stuffing your face with cod.

A registered voter in the Semenyih state constituency has filed an originating summons against the Election Commission seeking to stop the commission from holding the Semenyih by-election scheduled for next month.
Apart from the EC, the plaintiff, Sabariah Mohd Shariff, 58, also named EC chairperson Azhar Azizan Harun and the federal government as the defendants in the summons filed via the e-filing system through Messrs Azam Aziz Shaharudinali & Co last Friday.
Speaking to reporters at the lobby of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Court Complex in Shah Alam today, Sabariah said she decided to file the originating summons after the question on whether the EC was an entity constitutionally constituted under the Federal Constitution became a hot topic of debates in the social media.
"Looking at the political development of today, I think that it is my responsibility as a voter in Semenyih and as a Malaysian citizen to do something that is in line with the principles of the rule of law.
"We are made to understand that this summons was the first of its kinds in the country. We leave it to the court to decide whether the EC is a legal entity or not as only the chairperson is running the commission right now. The deputy chairperson and the five other members have resigned on Jan 1 with the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
"According to Clause 114 (1) of the Federal Constitution, the EC shall consist of a chairperson, a deputy chairperson and five other members appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong after consultation with the Conference of Rulers," he said.
Polling for Semenyih by-election is set on March 2, while early voting on Feb 26.


Below is the next 2019 SSR (March) for my friend's mate. She is an artist and works a-lot with her hands. She is now experiencing severe Rheumatoid Arthritis in her hands preventing her from doing her artistic work. This acute pain in her hands is increasing.
Note her Natal Mars is in her 2019 SSR MC squaring her Natal Sun on SSR Dsc, along with SSR Neptune. Jim has always taught us for major clues on how one will react to their SSR symbolism in the SSR as a stand-alone chart—is by any possible Natal planets falling on a SSR angle.
Her SSR inside wheel, Natal outside wheel.
Im sorry to hear about your friend. RA is horrible. I would encourage your friend to look to nutritional options and allergies to foods to try and alleviate and lessen her discomfort. Ie omega 3 suppliments, no dairy or wheat. The alkaline diet has helped many people.
Thanks for sharing. I have an upcoming SSR with Jupiter. Close to angle. Its good to know.
Thanks V, I will pass along to my friend's mate.
The cause needs to be found. Very likely these symptoms are due to mold toxins in the home or work place. That needs to be eliminated and then do a body cleanse - fasting helps.
Thanks Arena, I will pass your info to my friend.
Pass this info on to her.
This is very likely just a mold/mould intoxication.
Most doctors don't know, but there are actually a few who do and have been studying this for decades. One of them is called Dr. Shoemaker and he has found methods to measure things in your blood to find out that many many people with these symptoms you describe have been exposed to mould toxins. He also treats people and helps them to get their health back, which often includes leaving the house they live in for an extended period. Sometimes the house needs to be renovated because there are leakages or have been damp problems in the past (it can be years ago) and many times the people who have the condition have no idea that the damp or leakage problem exists in their house (or work place) so they will need a specialist to help them find the problem to be able to eliminate it.
The problem with the diagnosis is that the doctor doesn't know what is wrong.
And although it is not exactly the same, it is very similar to Fibromyalgia and here is a helpful article.
Thanks Arena, I will pass this info/links to my friend.

Please email us at info@reloadingintern ational.com. You can also give us a call at 541-636-0966.
What are the requirements for exporting reloading components (bullets and brass)?
An Export License is required to ship bullets and brass out of the US. All export license applications require a signed purchase order. A completed purchase order can be downloaded during checkout. Some countries require import certificates or permits. For more specific details on international orders see our International Orders page and select the country that you reside in.
How long does it take to get an export license?
The whole process takes up to 4 weeks. The time required to process an export license varies by country.
How long is the export license valid?
Up to 4 years, depending on country. The life of a license depends on the life of the import certificate/permit. Export licenses in Canada are valid for 1 year and Australia 6 months. Countries that do not issue import certificates or require import permits are valid for 4 years.
How much does the export license cost?
The fee for the export license is 10% of the total items on the purchase order that require an export license with a maximum of $250. Export fees are a fixed cost and are not refundable.
Am I required to get an export license for each order?
No. You can include multiple orders on 1 export license. Each order is paid and shipped separately. No additional paperwork is necessary. For example, if you have a $1,000 license, you could place 4 $250 orders. Once everything on the license is shipped a new license is required. Only the items on the export license can be shipped. Once the export license application is issued no substitutions can be made.
Is an export license required for reloading equipment?
No. Reloading equipment can be shipped without a license. Export licenses are required for bullets, brass, firearms, firearm parts, and many firearm accessories. We will inform you if your order requires an export license.
Do you sell primers and powder?
No. Due to shipping rules and regulations we cannot ship primers, primed brass, and powder.
We accept credit card payments, Western Union, MoneyGram, or check/money orders in USD. Credit card purchases are processed by Payment Alliance.
If I place large order can I have boxes shipped in intervals?
Yes, you can have the order shipped in intervals of your choice. For example, a $1000 order can be shipped in 4 separate $250 orders.
The fastest and most economical shipping for all of our domestic and international orders is via USPS Priority mail flat rate boxes. We can ship up to 20 pounds international in a flat rate box (postal service regulation). That is 19 lbs 15.9 oz including the box, packing and all paperwork. Our system determines your shipping cost based on a calculated weight of 19 lbs. We try to make sure the product weights in our are system are accurate. The stated shipping weights on our site are packed weights. If the packed weight of your order exceeds the maximum shipping weight for a flat rate box we will contact you. USPS Priority Mail really is the most economical way to ship lead. However, Express Mail, FedEx, or air freight is available on request.
Can I place orders for out of stock items?
Yes, you may order out of stock items. If you place an order for out of stock items your order will be shipped when the items are available. Should you place a combined order for in stock and out of stock items, your order will be shipped when all items are available unless you specify otherwise. If you wish for the in stock items to be shipped immediately, please note this on your order. There will be shipping charges on each box shipped.
Will I be charged shipping for my back ordered items?
Yes, we do charge to ship back ordered items. However, you can add back order items to new orders.
Domestic orders will arrive within 2 to 3 workdays after shipping. Average delivery time for international orders is approximately 10 - 21 days for priority mail and 7 to 14 days for Express mail. However, delivery time is dependent on how fast the parcel clears customs and other international conditions.

Q: Can a TextEntry.text with readonly be manipulated by code? Like, can an output-only TextEntry(readonly=True) be changed with TextEntry.insert_text()? Does the readonly refers ONLY to the user part of the  GUI?

A: I assume you actually mean TextInput. If so, the answer is: no, you cannot change the text in code using insert_text, but you can change it using a simple text=.

A: John Anderson has already given an answer.
You can download the Kivy Launcher or QPython from google playstore so that you can test your kivy codes without using a desktop.
Here is a simple code with TextInput using QPython2:
#-*-coding:utf8;-*-
#qpy:2
#qpy:kivy
#qpy:fullscreen

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.core.window import Window
from kivy.uix.button import Button

class TestingText(Widget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(TestingText, self).__init__()

        self.size = Window.size

        self.t = TextInput(readonly=True)

        self.b1 = Button(text="Insert")
        self.b2 = Button(text="Set")

        self.t.center = self.center
        self.b2.right = self.right

        self.b1.on_press = self.inserttext
        self.b2.on_press = self.settext

        self.add_widget(self.t)
        self.add_widget(self.b1)
        self.add_widget(self.b2)

    def inserttext(self):
        self.t.insert_text("insertme")

    def settext(self):
        self.t.text = "setme"

class Test(App):
    def build(self):
        return TestingText()

Test().run()


One of the more dramatic cake ever. It take quite a long time to do it, but it will worth every second.
I preferred to make the crêpes a little thicker, almost like pancakes, because they hold the custard better and they are more satisfying to taste.
For the crêpes place the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Place the egg, milk and butter in a separate bowl and whisk until combined. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Heat a 20 cm non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
Pour enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan, cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn the crêpe and cook for 1 minute until golden.
You will need around 20 crêpes.


While global warming threatens our ecosystem, we are apt to forget the seriousness and responsible actions to deal with the inconvenient truth.
The imbuing wall is a public design to inspire people with an awareness of the man-made disaster. Silhouettes of threatened species, made of thermochromic materials, are in vivid colors while the space is at room temperature, however, they disappear one by one, as the heating gets excessive. The dramatic extinctions diffuse environmental awakening in the space and induce people to act out what they can do.

TAYLORMADE GOLF COMPANY UNVEILS REVOLUTIONARY NEW DRIVER ...
ARCCOS PREVIEWS 2021 RELEASES AFTER RECORD-BREAKING YEAR


Hi there! I hope you are having a great week!
I am so excited because so many cool things are happening right now. The edits for the second Random House book I'm working on (not a cookbook) are pretty much finished. I have my new stove. I'm pretty much done with Christmas shopping. I am getting a ton done and using my time even better than ever before. I have the best friends and readers anyone could hope for (that's you)!
And because I have my oven back, I've been having so much fun creating new things to share with you next week (including what's in the picture at left)! I also have some amazing products and companies to share with you since I've been sent some really exciting things to try.
Breakfast: A recipe I'm testing to share with you next week.
Lunch: Same meal as for breakfast.
Dinner: I'm still full from lunch.
Exercise: Oh my gosh. None. I have been a bad monkey.
Notes: I am a little worried that mushrooms are another food I am going to have to avoid (moldy foods sometimes cause issues for people). I am going to try to skip them (or cut wayyyy back) until Monday and see if that is a culprit.
I am making it through Christmas phenomenally so far! The real test is the pies we plan to bake closer to the big day. I love pies and plan to develop my own pie crust. I am really close, too, but I am such a picky taste tester that it has to be perfect! I can't wait to nail the process. I am really close with dumplings, too.
I just wish I wasn't such a perfectionist, but I am.
Would love a low carb mince pie, or anything with mincemeat, have bad cravings for this and eggnog!
I am looking forward to the crust and especially, the dumplings. Yum, yum. I sure love your talent and it is a true gift. Keep up the good work, this is your gift to us low carbers and we really apprecite what you do.
I am so happy I can help. Plus, let's face it; it's fun. My mind is always focused on food.
Did you mention low carb dumplings? As in to go with stew? Oh, that would be soooo good! I have diabetes and those dumplings are one of the things that make my blood sugars go through the roof! I would love a recipe for dumplings that I can actually eat! And I love your recipes! They make it so much easier for me to be able to control my diabetes and still enjoy chocolate and other goodies! Thank you!
Hi, Cathy! I am! I have a recipe that is so close. It's not quite there yet. I need to keep experimenting with it.
am glad for you Jamie!! Would your pie pastry be savory by any chance?? I am British by heritage and am really missing things like chicken and mushroom pie, steam and ale pie, etc, and so on, and so forth 🙂 I hang on your every post anyway, whichever way the crust pendulum swings – you ROCK!
I love the savory, too! this crust will be perfect for savory and for sweet. I just need to finish nailing it down!

From different GPS watches and connected goggles to high-tech action cams, skiing is the ultimate sport for wearable technology. ISPO.com would like to introduce you to some interesting products for improving your skiing experience in season 2016/2017.
Wearables can make your winter sports experience even better.
When you're hitting the slopes you have plenty of awesome wearable devices and kits to improve your skiing and snowboarding experience. It all started with special helmet-mounted cameras, but has now developed into an entire industry with exciting products. In previous years, skiing technology has often been focused on new forms of lightweight clothing fabric or new ski innovations, but now, we have plenty of wearable devices and perfect accessories specifically developed for winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.
The innovations span from different cameras and GPS-smartwatches to heads-up displays which are integrated into your goggles to track important performance metrics and achievements direct-to-eye. And further exciting products are on the way. It remains interesting which new developments will be submitted in the WT Innovation World Cup this year, ending on October 17th.
Let's start with probably the best ski watch out there, the Garmin Fenix 3. This GPS smartwatch automatically tracks individually runs while recording speed, distance and vertical drop data. The progression from the Garmin Fenix 2 adds an automatic run counter with auto pause support and as you're on the way back up the mountain, you can instantly see how your run compared to others on that day.
Through the fabric strap, you can wear it over your jacket and you can even use it as a remote control for Garmin's action cameras. The Fenix 3's main functions include an altimeter, barometer, compass, temperature gauge and, of course, GPS. It will also pair with your smartphone to show text messages, alerts, e-mails, weather and a host of other brilliant features. Now there's something to do on the ski lift other than enjoying the view.
These days, helmets provide more than just safety: a 4k built-in action camera, a walkie-talkie feature, headlights, GPS and even a pair of Bluetooth speaker.
Oakley offers a heads-up display that shows speed, altitude and jump analytics on a small 1-inch display. With integrated GPS users can record their routes and if their buddies are also wearing Airwaves or using the smartphone app, the display will direct the information straight to them. With the trip viewer, users can review their performance stats, like max speed, total vert and max air, in detail, run by run or for the whole day. Another neat feature is the ability to pair up the Airwave goggles with a Garmin VIRB action camera to catch the best moments.

But there's much more. With navigation you can pinpoint your location on a resort map, find the run or point-of-interest you're looking for. You can also view incoming calls and text messages from your smartphone via the Low Energy Bluetooth connection. Apart from its amazing looks, this heads-up display offers a variety functions to improve your skiing experience.
The skiing goggles are specifically designed for alpine sports with onboard processing power, a suite of sensors and networking capabilities.
Former Innovation World Cup winner Recon also has a heads-up display on the offer especially designed for alpine sports with onboard processing power, a suite of sensors and networking capabilities to enrich, but never disrupt alpine experiences. The dual-core, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled device sits neatly in the corner of the goggles and has a host of sensors that track important performance metrics and achievements direct-to-eye in real time, such as speed and distance, current altitude or vertical drop, while the Snow 2 HUD can also hook up to your phone to display calls, texts and music information.
It also offers navigation and friend tracking with expert guidance wherever you are on the mountain as well as smartphone connectivity. When you are back in the valley, you can manage, relive and share your alpine experiences with Recon Engage Mobile Apps and web platform. You see that these two heads-up displays offer amazing functions. Now you only have to choose one of them!
Forcite provides Alpine helmet with a 4k built-in action camera, a walkie-talkie feature, headlights, GPS and even a pair of Bluetooth speakers for your music. The accompanying app will include auto-footage editing and stat overlay for videos. The app also analyses important performance metrics like top speed, altitude, airtime, and distance. Better yet, it will trim out the parts of your footage that are boring, and skip straight to all the backflips and a front side 360's you did on your last run.
The Forcite Alpine helmet also has OLED fog lights so you can still do your tricks even with poor weather conditions. Summing up one can say that the combination of hardware and software opens up numerous possibilities and new innovative features such as activity & performance tracking, sharing experiences to social media, helmet-to-helmet and back-to-base communication and even live streaming, all in one device!

Q: docker-compose: can't specify nginx config I'm trying to setup an nginx container via docker-compose. I have a custom configuration I'd like to use. I make the config available on a volume that is shared with the container.
nginx:
      volumes:
      - shared:/shared
      image: nginx
      ports:
      - "8080:80"
      - "443:443"
      command: /bin/bash -c ./shared/nginx_test.conf

Here is the configuration file:
daemon off;

http {
    server {
    location / {
        root /shared/data/www;
    }

    location /images/ {
        root /data;
    }
    }
}

When I do a docker-compose up, I get errors for each line in the config that say the command is not found. e.g. ./shared/nginx_test.conf: line 1: daemon: command not found, ./shared/nginx_test.conf: line 3: http: command not found and so on.
I tried following the guide here. Any ideas on why the commands are not found by nginx?

A: You're trying to run a script file with bash -c, do you see that? That's not what you want. (The error messages say the content of ./shared/nginx_test.conf is not understood, which Bash interprets as terminal commands.)
You probably want to run something like nginx -g daemon off as a command, and append the configuration file as an argument:
nginx:
    # ...
    command: nginx -c ./shared/nginx_test.conf -g "daemon off;"

IR sun rises over Southern Europe

Iberdrola takes pole position at the IR Magazine Awards – Europe 2017

Southern Europe's IR excellence was highly honored last night at the IR Magazine Awards – Europe 2017, as Spain's Iberdrola topped the rankings for the first time and Italy's Intesa Sanpaolo took third place behind the UK's AstraZeneca, with three more Spanish names and one Portuguese firm cited in the top 20.
Gathered at London's Park Lane Hotel for the now traditional gala evening, the European IR community gave much applause to Iberdrola, which has been steadily moving up the top 10 ranks from seventh in 2014, to third in 2015 and second last year. The Bilbao-based utilities firm, which attracted five nominations this year, won the awards for best overall investor relations, best IR in region and best in the utilities sector, while its IRO Ignacio Cuenca was runner-up for best IRO in the large-cap category.
Last year in 29th position, this year Intesa Sanpaolo won the gongs for best corporate governance & disclosure and best in the financials sector, from a total of five nominations.
Roche Holding and Unilever took fourth place jointly, while German companies took the remaining positions up to 12th – except the seventh, which went to Portugal's EDP – with awards regulars adidas, BASF, Deutsche Post DHL, Lanxess, Allianz and Continental all featured, in that order.
In the small & mid-cap category, Lanxess took home the prize for best overall IR, while Hugo Boss' Dennis Weber won best IRO.
The judged awards, now in their second year, saw companies compete for six new categories in addition to the existing three, including best annual report, best crisis management and best ESG communications. Duncan Browne, head of IR and financial media at UK-based Saga, was named as this year's rising star.
The Euro Top 100 and the majority of the award winners were identified by means of a survey of the European investment community. A full list of researched categories and details of the results of this research are reported in detail in the IR Magazine Investor Perception Study – Europe 2017. The judged awards were subject to a vote by a panel comprising investment professionals, a former IR veteran and a senior IR Magazine editorial team member.

Former volleyball National Champion transfers to LSU
by: Pat Timlin
BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU Volleyball adds Jade Demps, a transfer from Wisconsin to the 2023 roster announced by head coach Tonya Johnson.
Demps is a 6-2 right side hitter from Raleigh, N. C. and joins the Tigers with two years of eligibility remaining. Demps brings more NCAA postseason experience to the club after three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with the Badgers that featured two Final Four appearances and winning the 2021 NCAA Division I Volleyball National Championship title. In her career, Demps has 317 total kills averaging 1.67 kills per set, a .282 hitting percentage and nine aces to go along with 46 blocks and 152 total digs.
After a shortened 2020 season where Demps averaged 2.09 kills per set and registered a .343 hitting percentage, the North Carolina native averaged 1.93 kills per set in 2021 and had a career-high 18 kills and 16 digs at Minnesota (Nov. 21). In 2022, Demps played in 55 sets over 22 matches where she totaled 80 kills, a .282 hitting percentage, 22 blocks and two aces.

A lot of really exciting things happened this week at KAFS, but unfortunately I've been sworn to secrecy about a lot of it! Be sure to go and follow MBP on Facebook for any updates!
What I can tell you is that this week my lemur species tally reached four – black and white ruffed lemurs, greater bamboo lemurs, red-fronted lemurs, and aye ayes! Seeing an aye aye, one of the world weirdest, wackiest and most endangered species in the world was such a special experience.
It was a week of some seriously intense hiking, as even at our easier field site, Sangasanga, the lemurs have moved to the top of the mountains to feed on Ravinala palms that have just started flowering.
Another point of excitement was seeing a tenrec. These little guys are pretty rare, and we stumbled on him while walking back to our tent site one night. I love that after 5 weeks working here we are still seeing new animals!
On the weekend, a bunch of us went back to Mananjary for a girl's weekend. The week before last, Savanna and I helped Ando (a PhD student here) to name her guide's newborn son. She was asked to name him as a 'souvenir' so that they would always remember them, which I found really lovely. So the main mission of this trip was to deck out little Aaron Kyle with a teeny tiny wardrobe. This was lots of fun as it meant going to a big clothes market and buying all sorts of cute goodies.
Finding clothes for Aaron Kyle!
Rather than eating at the hotel restaurant, this time we ate at a French themed place called La Grillion, which was fantastic. A full, undo-your-belt sized meal cost us less than $3 – Going back to Adelaide is certainly going to be a rude shock on the old wallet!
Oh cheese, how I have missed you so.
Yes we know how you love cheese!consumption in the Matthews household has gone down considerably since your departure.

Úrscéal de chuid Ernest Hemingway is ea For Whom the Bell Tolls, "(Gaeilge:Dá Bhuaileann an Cloigín)" a foilsíodh sa bhliain 1940.
"No man is an island, entire of itself;... and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
Tá an t-úrscéal bunaithe ar thaithí Hemingway i gCogadh Cathartha na Spáinne. Tá an scéal suite in 1937, agus na poblachtánaithe ar tí ionsaí mór a thosnú ar Segovia. Glacann sabaitéir Meiriceánach, Robert Jordan, tasc chun droichead a phléascadh ionas nacn mbeadh na náisiúnaithe in ann frith-ionsaí a chur sa tsiúl. Buaileann sé le banda treallchogaidh Phablo sna sléibhte agus an t-éacht á ullmhú aige. Tá bean ann, María, a raibh ina príosúnaí ag na náisiúnaithe i Valladolid. Cuireann Jordan suim inti, cé go bhfuil eagla air a chroí a oscailt d'éinne. D'fhulaing María go mór ag lámha na náisiúnach. Casann an scéal ar mheon Robert Jordan, a dhualgas don tásc idir lámha aige, a dhifríochtaí le ceannaire an bhanda atá dá thacú, Pablo, agus an cion atá ag Jordan do Mharía. Tá ról lárnach sa scéal freisin ag bean Phablo, Pilar, a insíonn cúpla eachtraí uafásacha ó thús an chogaidh inar maraíodh na náisiúnaithe go barbarach ina baile féin tar éis éirí amach Franco.
Déanann an banda ionsaí ar na saighdiúirí náisiúnacha atá ag cosaint an droichid agus éiríonn le Jordan a dhinimít a chur agus an droichead a phléascadh. Tá na sléibhte breac le saighdiúirí Náisiúnacha i ndiaidh an ionsaí agus goineadh Jordan go dona agus an banda ag teitheadh ar a gcapaill. Fanann sé ann chun a chomhghleacaithe a chosaint agus iad ag teitheadh. Críochnaíonn an scéal le Jordan ar an dtalamh leis an meaisínghunna agus é ag smaoineamh faoin saol nach mbeidh sé in ann a chaitheamh le María.
Baineann Hemingway úsáid as sean-téarmai Bhéarla ar nós thee agus thou in ionad you chun blas an chanúint áitiúil Spáinnise a chruthú.
Rinneadh scannán cáiliúil den leabhar i 1943 le Gary Cooper i bpáirt Robert Jordan agus Ingrid Bergmann i bpáirt María. Bhuaigh Katina Paxinou, a raibh páirt Pilar aici, an gradam Oscar don banaisteoir taca is fearr.
Is amhrán é "For Whom the Bell Tolls" ón grúpa Metallica ar a n-albam Ride the Lightning ó 1984. Is tagairt do chuid den leabhar é an t-amhrán, ina bhfuil ceannaire bhanda treallchogaithe, El Sordo, timpeallaithe ag saighdiúirí náisiúnacha ar chnoc. Tagann eitleáin chun na treallchogaithe go léir a bhuamú is maraítear iad go léir.

We read the chapter book as a read-a-loud in class each day with the intent on finishing it before Valentine's Day!
For Valentine's Day, I wanted to have a party based on something educational.
We did activities all day based on the book!
We watched the original movie and then completed a venn-diagram comparing the book to the movie.
We brainstormed character traits for each main character via a graphic organizer on the SMART board.
It is spirit week and today was "character day" so I encouraged the students to dress up as a character from the book! Several did! I was Mr. Wonka!
I printed a packet containing coloring pages, bookmarks, crosswords, candy invention form, and more … for fun… and something to do while passing out treats.
We also did science labs using Wonka candies and other other Valentine candies! We followed the scientific method! Wonka loved doing experiments to create new ideas for candy so we did some too!
Lab #1: What happens when you drop candy conversation hearts into carbonated pop?
LAB #2: "The M&Ms have the slogan of melting in your mouth, but not in your hands. What happens when they go in your mouth or water?
Delicious hands-on science that melts in your mouth, and dissolves in water.
M&Ms have the slogan of melting in your mouth, but not in your hands. You wanna know something cool? The special melting property is totally scientific. Certain parts of an M&M will dissolve in water, while others won't. The results are an amazing phenomenon that we call Floating Letters.
Fill a clear glass or bowl half-full with water.
Drop a few M&M's into the water.
Allow the M&M's to soak in the water for 10-20 minutes.
LAB #3:"Gobstopper candies are known for their colors, but what would happen if they were dissolved in water?
Fill a petri dish with enough water to cover the bottom.
Drop a Gobstopper of a different color along the edge of the petri dish. We would tell you to put them all in the corners, but the dish is round and doesn't have corners. So you need to place the Gobstoppers at equal distances from from each other.
Finally, I encouraged students to bring in Wonka themed candies and Valentines! I even made the Valentines to color, cut, and pass out … just in case their! You can find them on my TPT store!
THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE PARENTS THAT DONATED TREATS FOR TODAY! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!


This brand new variety of Wisteria is an ultra-compact variety from America that is perfectly suited to growing in UK gardens.
Unlike virtually all other varieties of Wisteria though, many of which can take up to five years to flower, Amethyst Falls will reliably flower in its first year.
The flowers will pour like a river of lilac from this fantastic plant throughout May, filling the air with the perfume of spring flowers.
In its early years it will remain compact and manageable and as such makes a brilliant patio plant perfect for growing in a pot.
Eventually it will reach a height of 12-15ft and will spread to around 6ft if left un-pruned. However, it can be maintained at half this size and still yield masses of flowers every single spring from this year onwards!

Q: Oracle: MERGE INTO with invisible columns I have got an problem with ORA-00904: invalid identifier.
As example:
I have a table created like this:
    CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE
    (
      COL_1     VARCHAR2(5 CHAR) NOT NULL,
      COL_2     VARCHAR2(30 CHAR),
      COL_3     RAW(16) INVISIBLE DEFAULT SYS_GUID ()
    )
    CREATE UNIQUE INDEX TEST_TABLE_PK ON TEST_TABLE
    (COL_1);

A second table on a remote db (DBLINK: testdb) looks like this:
CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE
(
  COL_1     VARCHAR2(5 CHAR) NOT NULL,
  COL_2     VARCHAR2(30 CHAR)
)
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX TEST_TABLE_PK ON TEST_TABLE
    (COL_1);

In the next step I want to merge the data between the local and remote db with an merge into statement like this:
MERGE INTO TEST_TABLE@testdb target
        USING (SELECT * FROM TEST_TABLE
                WHERE COL_3 = '3F47613050860B4EE0539D0A10AC10B7') source
           ON (target.COL_1 = source.COL_1)
   WHEN MATCHED
   THEN
      UPDATE SET target.COL_2 = source.COL_2
   WHEN NOT MATCHED
   THEN
      INSERT     (COL_1, COL_2)
          VALUES (source.COL_1, source.COL_2);

The merge into statement does not work, because of an ORA-00904: "A5".COL_3 invalid identifier. But the same merge into statement works fine if the COL_3 column is visible.
Where does the "A5" come from?
Whats the problem here? Does anyone have the same issues?
Oracle versions: The local db is 12cSE and the remote db is 11g.

A: Specify your source table select, by name COL_1 and COL_2.
The key is to get rid of SELECT * from
MERGE INTO TEST_TABLE@testdb target
        USING (SELECT COL_1,COL_2 FROM TEST_TABLE
                WHERE COL_3 = '3F47613050860B4EE0539D0A10AC10B7') source
           ON (target.COL_1 = source.COL_1)
   WHEN MATCHED
   THEN
      UPDATE SET target.COL_2 = source.COL_2
   WHEN NOT MATCHED
   THEN
      INSERT     (COL_1, COL_2)
          VALUES (source.COL_1, source.COL_2);

Serena undecided over French Open, wants to stay in apartment
Agence France-Presse . New York | Published: 03:53, Sep 08,2020

Serena Williams said Monday she wanted to talk to French Open organizers about safety protocols before confirming whether she'll play, adding she'd hoped to stay in her apartment during the Slam.
The French Open tournament director announced Monday that all players at Roland Garros will be housed in two designated hotels 'without exception,' to reduce the risks from coronavirus.
But Williams, who has been allowed to stay in a private house during her US Open bid, suggested it was illogical to be so strict over accommodation when spectators would be present in arenas.
'Well, if there are fans, then we should be able to stay elsewhere, then,' Williams told reporters after moving into the quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows.
'Yeah, that's interesting, because there is no private housing but there's fans,' she then added.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner has a history of serious lung problems that put her health at risk during the pandemic.
She suffered a pulmonary embolism while giving birth to daughter Olympia in 2017, the second time she has needed emergency treatment for the problem.
Williams said she had been 'hoping' to stay in her apartment in Paris but added that French Open organizers were doing their best in difficult circumstances.
She said she would have to speak to them about how it will work with fans.
'I'm super conservative because I do have some serious health issues, so I try to stay away from public places, because I have been in a really bad position in the hospital a few times,' Williams explained.
'So I don't want to end up in that position again, so I don't know. I'll just do my best to continue to keep -- for me, I try to keep a 12-foot distance instead of six.'
She added that it 'should be okay' for her to participate but that she wouldn't rush into making a decision.
'I'm honestly taking it one day at a time. I'm going to have to make the best decision for my health,' Williams said.
'It's just, I still have some questions, but I'm really kind of, ironically, focused on New York but it's kind of hard because these Grand Slams are so close to each other this year,' she added.

Walmart Program Offers Bachelor's Degrees for $1 Per Day
by Tyler Hale September 26, 2019
Walmart is introducing a new employee benefit program aimed at preparing the next generation of health care professionals.
Through the new program, Walmart associates can apply for bachelor degrees and career diplomas in health care fields for $1 per day. Employees can apply through Walmart's education benefit program, Live Better U, for one out of seven different bachelor degrees and two career diploma tracks.
The seven bachelor's degrees are in health science, health and wellness, and healthcare management and administration; they are offered through multiple universities, including Purdue University Global, Southern New Hampshire University, Bellevue University and Wilmington University. The career diplomas are for pharmacy technicians and opticians and are offered through Penn Foster.
This initiative is designed to upskill Walmart's employee workforce to fill health care roles through Walmart and Sam's Club. According to Walmart's website, there are more than 5,000 pharmacies, 3,000 vision centers and 400 hearing centers in the Walmart business ecosystem.
"Our presence in thousands of communities gives us a unique opportunity to provide access to affordable healthcare to millions of people, and we need trained associates in order to do so," Thomas Van Gilder, Walmart's Chief Medical Office, said in a statement. "As our health and wellness strategy and offerings continue to evolve, Live Better U will play a critical role in preparing our associates across the country for future work opportunities in the growing healthcare field."

Q: Customizing GridView layout in asp.net I am currently working on displaying a game library on an asp.net website. I have stored the game info (such as name, cover image etc) in a database, and I want to retrieve the games from the database and display it on my site. Right now, I am using GridView to get the data. It gets the values uname (the name of the videogame) and uimg (cover image for the game) from my table, and displays it like this:

However, I would like to edit the layout so that it looks something like this:

So as you can see, where the uname is displayed right below uimg, and with something like 3 games on each row.
The code (just using the standard GridView in Visual Studio) looks like this so far. Default.aspx:

    DataBind();

So, does anyone know how I can achieve this? Can this be done with Gridview, or should I be looking at something different? Thanks!

A: You should use a DataList control with the RepeatColumns property set. This can acheive the design you want.
Here's an example
http://adidotnettotal.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/datalist-example-using.html

A: You should use asp:TemplateField like this :
<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gvResults" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="ID" ForeColor="Black" GridLines="None">
        <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
        <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField>
        <ItemTemplate>

Q: What is 'term_group' for 'order_by' in get_terms()? I was just reading the Codex regarding get_terms();. What exactly is the parameter 'term_group'?
You can use it in (example): 'order_by' for get_terms();.
Hint: I could be all terms that share the same names, but have different slugs.

A: The idea of term groups was to have a term with multiple aliases.
This feature doesn't seem to be fully backed and is therefore practically never used.

Biografía
Nació en Xalapa, Veracruz en el año de 1858. Inició su carrera como docente en escuelas primarias públicas de Puebla y llegó al estado de Sonora en 1892, lugar donde permanecería el resto de su vida.

En Sonora empezó siendo maestro y director de la escuela primaria de San Miguel de Horcasitas, permaneciando por 8 años en dicha institución. Para 1900 llega a Cananea, Sonora, lugar donde se establecería por casi 50 años.

Fue designado como director de la escuela superior Benito Juárez, institución que originalmente fue exclusiva para varones. En dicha escuela también impartió clases de Español, y permaneció como director hasta su retiro, laborando en ella por un período de 15 años.

En diciembre de 1945 el congreso del estado de Sonora lo declara Educador Ilustre de Sonora, y le otorga una pensión vitalicia.

Murió a los 90 años de edad en su residencia, ubicada en la avenida Durango 157 de la ciudad de Cananea, Sonora, siendo sepultado en el panteón Severiano Moreno.

Have you ever been in the type of relationship when one person moves forward while the other moves back? One partner desires closeness, while the other needs space? This push-pull pattern is enough to drive us mad! It's also very common.
I'm going to discuss why some of us feel trapped in relationships while others feel abandoned, and how to overcome this very frustrating dance of love. I'm a therapist, so I'll start where you'd expect: We all have emotional wounds from childhood. These wounds cause us to struggle with intimacy as adults.
It's important to recognize that being wounded doesn't mean that's something's wrong with you. Nor does it mean that your parents really messed up. It actually just means that you're human (and your parents are, too). We all struggle with intimacy to a certain degree. Two of the most common struggles are: the fear of abandonment and the fear of entrapment (loss of freedom). Most of us will identify with one or the other.
Fear of abandonment
The fear of abandonment is a wound that stems from a lack of close, emotional contact. If there's too much space in the early parent-child relationship, it's likely that the child will grow up with an ingrained fear of being abandoned or rejected. This person will be prone to grasping or clinging in intimate relationships.
Fear of entrapment
The fear of entrapment stems from too much contact; not having enough space and feeling intruded upon. If there's not enough space provided in the parent-child relationship, it's likely that the child will grow up fearing close contact with others. This person will be prone to withdrawing from relationships.
In almost all cases, individuals who fear abandonment will partner with individuals who fear entrapment. Voila! The push-pull relationship. One person desperately tries to get closer while the other tries to get away. A painful predicament for both involved.
If you find yourself in this type of dynamic, what's important to remember is that it's common, and it's an opportunity for you to grow. Here's how—if you're prone to feeling abandoned, you have to learn to soothe yourself through this fear. Recognize that this is your core wound, and take responsibility for it.
So, how can I do this?
The most effective way to do this is by making contact with the deep sense of love and connection within you. By relying on this inner resource, your need to cling to others will lift. Will it disappear? Probably not. But it will get much better. Hence, growth.
For those of you who fear entrapment, the same goes for you. If you want to experience deep intimacy in your life, then you have to face this fear head-on. Start by owning that this is your fear, and soothe through it, rather than run away.
The way to soothe through it similar to what I described above. Contact the love within you — feel into its expansive nature and space. Know that you cannot be taken over; know that you'll be okay. If you practice staying in a relationship while soothing through your fear, you will grow (and so will your relationship).
When it comes to love and intimacy, we have to be very compassionate with ourselves and with each other. If you're partnered with someone who fears abandonment, be empathic about this fear within them. And if you're partnered with someone who fears being trapped, be empathic about their fear, too.
Simply recognize that your partner's needs and fears are different than yours. This empathy will go a long way.

Say Cheese! Seventh Circuit to Weigh In on Reasonable Consumer Standard in Grated Parmesan Case
by Julie A. Simeone and Jane Metcalf on October 6, 2020
On September 17, the Seventh Circuit heard argument in Ann Bell v. Albertson Companies Inc. The case hinges on whether a reasonable consumer would understand the phrase "100% Grated Parmesan cheese" on a Parmesan cheese canister to mean that the canister contains literally nothing but cheese.[1] The plaintiffs argued that they believed just that, when in fact the cheese product in question contained cellulose, which the defendants claimed was used as an anti-caking agent and the plaintiffs claimed was used as "filler".
The Seventh Circuit panel—consisting of U.S. Circuit Judges Amy Coney Barrett, David Hamilton and Michael Kanne—peppered both sides with questions, indicating that the Circuit may be preparing to weigh in on the "reasonable consumer" standard for consumer-protection claims, as the Second Circuit and others have done recently. See e.g., Chufen Chen v. Dunkin' Brands, Inc., 954 F.3d 492 (2d Cir. 2020) (affirming the dismissal of false advertising claim involving the meaning of "steak"; finding that under New York law, a court may determine as a matter of law that an allegedly deceptive advertisement would not have misled a reasonable consumer); Dumont v. Reily Foods Co., 934 F.3d 35 (1st Cir. 2019) (reversing district court decision involving reasonable consumer understanding of "Hazelnut Crème").
Plaintiffs are consumers who, like many, prefer to top their pasta with grated parmesan. They filed five consolidated class action complaints in the Northern District of Illinois against multiple defendants, described as "purveyors of grated parmesan cheese products with labels stating '100% Grated Parmesan Cheese' or some variation thereof." In re 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese Mktg. and Sales Practices Litig., 348 F. Supp. 3d 797, 801 (N.D. Ill. 2018) (hereinafter "Parmesan I"). The plaintiffs challenged (i) that labeling the product as "100% Grated Parmesan Cheese" was misleading because the product contained cellulose (an organic polymer without nutritional value) and (ii) that the ingredient list on the back of the canister was misleading because it described cellulose an anti-caking agent when, in fact, the cellulose also acted as a simple filler. Id. at 802.
In 2018, the district court dismissed plaintiffs' claims stemming from the phrase "100% Grated Parmesan Cheese." To support their position that a reasonable consumer could indeed believe that a "100% cheese" product could exist unrefrigerated on a supermarket shelf, plaintiffs proffered consumer survey evidence, reports from linguistic professors regarding the meaning of "100% Grated Parmesan Cheese," and a Kraft patent stating that fully cured parmesan cheese "keeps almost indefinitely". Yet the district court found this "evidence" unpersuasive and sided with defendants. According to the court, "given the context provided by the ingredient lists and the products' placement on unrefrigerated shelves, no reasonable consumer could be misled by the '100% Grated Parmesan Cheese' labels into thinking that the products were 100% cheese." Id. at 804.
Also in 2018, and then again in July 2019, the district court narrowed the scope of plaintiffs' "anti-caking" claims, i.e., claims that the parmesan ingredients list is misleading because it describes cellulose as an anti-caking agent as opposed to a filler. See Parmesan I at 806-818; see also In re 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese Mktg. and Sales Practices Litig., 393 F. Supp. 3d 745, 756-66 (N.D. Ill. 2019) (hereinafter "Parmesan II"). Following Parmesan II, the dispute headed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
September 17, 2020 Ann Bell Oral Argument
The recent oral argument in Ann Bell highlights at least two issues that may drive the outcome of this parmesan-related dispute. Notably, the appeal focuses only on the "100% Grated Parmesan Cheese" claims, as the surviving "anti-caking" claims are stayed pending the appeal.
When Do Ingredients and Context Come Into Play?
Unsurprisingly, the parties disagree on the role that an ingredients label should play at the pleading stage. The district court found that the ingredient lists on the cannisters provided context that would not allow a reasonable consumer to come to the conclusion that the grated parmesan product contained "100% cheese." Describing this as the "fundamental error of the district court," plaintiffs-appellants' counsel told the Seventh Circuit panel that when a front label is deceptive or ambiguous, the court is not permitted to dismiss on the pleadings a consumer complaint simply because the ingredients listed on the back provide context to an otherwise deceptive label. See Oral Argument at 4:05-5:10. Stated otherwise, when a claim on the front label is contradicted by the back label, according to plaintiffs, the case simply cannot be dismissed on the pleadings. Counsel for defendants-appellees disagreed, arguing that the back label, as well as how the product is presented in the supermarket and the entire context, should all be taken into consideration. See id. at 26:00.
During the argument, the questioning Seventh Circuit panel likened this case to the split-decision in Dumont v. Reily Foods Co., 934 F.3d 35 (1st Cir. 2019). See Oral Argument at 2:40, 31:00. There, plaintiff brought an action on behalf of herself and a putative nationwide class after purchasing New England Coffee Company's Hazelnut Crème Coffee. The front label described the product as: "freshly ground," "100% Arabica Coffee," "Hazelnut Crème," "Medium Bodied," and as having a "Rich, Nutty Flavor." The back of the package went on to set forth the ingredients: "100% Arabica Coffee Naturally and Artificially Flavored." Dumont alleged that she would not have bought the coffee—or at least would have paid less for it—had she known that the bag did not contain actual hazelnuts, as opposed to artificial flavoring. Therein lies the debate: Should a reasonable consumer be expected to flip the package over and examine the contents? In the Dumont majority's view, this was a question of fact for a jury to decide. "One might presume," it recognized, "that a reasonable consumer who … cared whether the coffee she intended to purchase contained real hazelnut would check the list of ingredients." Dumont, 934 F.3d at 40. "On the other hand," it continued, "perhaps a reasonable consumer would find in the product name ['Hazelnut Crème'] sufficient assurance so as to see no need to search the fine print on the back of the package." Id. The Dumont majority "th[ought] it best that six jurors, rather than three judges, decide" what a reasonable consumer would do. Id. at 41.
Back to cheese. On the other side of the aisle, defendants-appellees' counsel in Ann Bell was quick to liken this case to Chufen Chen v. Dunkin' Brands, Inc., 954 F.3d 492, 501 (2d Cir. 2020), where the Second Circuit recently reaffirmed that a court can look at context and decide at the pleadings stage whether a reasonable consumer would be misled by a particular advertisement. See Oral Argument at 24:50. There, the Second Circuit endorsed the district court's decision to examine the entire context, noting that plaintiff "bought her Angus Sandwich for less than $4 and her Angus Wrap for less than $2. … A reasonable consumer purchasing one of the Products from Dunkin Donuts in that context would not be misled into thinking she was purchasing an 'unadulterated piece of meat.'" Chen, 954 at 501.
The Seventh Circuit panel also put questions to the advocates that would indicate that at least certain members believe the price point and the placement of the product at supermarket may indeed matter at this juncture. Judge Barrett queried: "What relevance does the price point have in terms of context… Fresh parmesan cheese is more expensive, which is why a lot of people buy the green cannister. Do you think people who pay a low price for cheese would expect purity?" See Oral Argument at 15:55.
One point that was lingering in the background of the oral argument—and strikes us as a point in the defendants' favor—is the tension between the plaintiffs' two theories of deception in the district court. Even if we assume that a reasonable consumer should not be expected to turn the package around and review the ingredient list, the plaintiffs here have claimed that they were misled by the ingredient list's description of cellulose as an "anti-caking agent." In order to be so misled, they must have read the ingredient list and learned that the product contained cellulose as well as cheese. Once that happened, they could no longer claim to have been misled by the "100% Grated Parmesan Cheese" representation on the front label. Should the plaintiff-appellants prevail on the "100%" claim, we will watch closely to see if the district court addresses this issue.
What About Preemption?
Preemption was also front and center, even though the district court did not have to reach the issue. Defendants-appellees assert that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has defined grated Parmesan cheese in a standard of identity and, thus, the FDA has already indicated that grated parmesan cheese can indeed have anti-caking agents and still be referred to as "grated cheese." See Oral Argument at 20:10. "So when defendants call their products 100% Grated Parmesan cheese, what they were saying was exactly right," counsel proclaimed. Id. at 20:27. Accordingly, the defendants-appellees claimed, plaintiffs' suit was an improper attempt to impose labeling guidelines that were "non-identical" to those imposed by the FDCA.
The panel queried the limits of such preemption. Judge Hamilton asked whether a claim challenging a manufacture's decision to falsely label the grated parmesan cheese as "made in Italy" would be preempted under this logic. See Oral Argument at 38:05. Counsel for defendants-appellees confirmed that it would not, because neither the standard of identity regulation nor any other FDA regulation at issue speaks to the circumstances under which that claim may be made. See id. at 38:30.
As we've noted before, courts have disagreed over whether and when "reasonable consumers" are expected to read the ingredients list on a food product to protect themselves against potential deception or misunderstanding. A consensus is emerging among most federal courts that a consumer who claims to care strongly about a product's ingredients, but does not bother to read the ubiquitous ingredient list, is per se acting unreasonably. Yet some courts have held out on joining this consensus, declaring that reasonable consumers should not be expected to consult "the ingredient list in small print on the side of the box" to find out which ingredients the product contains. Ann Bell is just the latest invitation to a Circuit court to wade into these familiar issues. Stay tuned for the decision.

In this article, basic principles of bifurcation have been presented. More importantly, bifurcation analysis of logistic model and an impulsive predator-prey system with Watt-type functional response are presented. Furthermore, we give the details of spatial bifurcations analysis, that is, Hopf and Turing bifurcation. The availability of powerful computers is the driving force that give bifurcation theory a practical significance.
In fact, computer simulation for nonlinear systems is carried out for various choices of biologically feasible parameter values and for different sets to initial conditions. In all the cases being considered here, the data are so chosen that persistence conditions are satisfied. Therefore, as the solution to the system is bounded, we expect that the ecosystem has a rich dynamic, including limit cycle, bifurcation, quasi-periodic, or even chaotic dynamic. In this case, numerical analysis for the ecosystem is an assistant instrumentality.
On the other hand, the ecosystem is so complicated that we cannot use a single method to study it. We must use mixed methods, such as analytical or experimental or numerical methods.


Milo prepares us for an astonishing journey and invites us to reconnect with our true selves, to probe deep inside our being for buried or sometimes forgotten feelings. This is how a beautiful story begins in the heart of our unconsciousness, underlined by refined ethnic sounds and highly emotional synths. We get by and by seized in a world of sweetness with melancholic accents and our ears discover an enchanting poem that needs no words.


This is to be distinguished from the "crumbling skull" plaintiff which is someone who has a pre-existing illness or medical condition which would have come to the fore even if the accident had not occurred. For the "crumbling skull" plaintiff the accident may, however, have accelerated the presentation or evolution of the illness or medical condition and this may entitle that person to some measure of compensation in the appropriate circumstances. If it cannot be established that the motor vehicle accident caused or contributed to the plaintiff's condition, which would have remained the same even if the accident had not occurred, causation will not be established and no compensation can be recovered.
