European governments impose lockdowns targeting unvaccinated individuals
Governments in Europe are placing millions of citizens under house arrest for not being fully vaccinated against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). There is no public health justification for this move as experts admitted that even the fully vaccinated can continue to spread the virus.
COVID-19 cases are on the rise again as the cold weather helped its spread. European countries are trying to curb the spike through different means, including introducing lockdowns for the unvaccinated and limiting access to certain services. They are also pushing for an increase in vaccination rates.
While around 60 percent of people are fully vaccinated in Western Europe, only half as many have been vaccinated in the eastern part of the continent.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that coronavirus deaths in Europe rose five percent in the week of November 7, making it the only region in the world with increased death rates.
European countries putting more pressure on the unvaccinated
European countries are now putting more pressure on their unvaccinated citizens.
Austria imposed a general lockdown beginning Monday, November 22, as the country faces a COVID-19 resurgence. Conservative Chancellor Alexander Schallenderg said that vaccination will become compulsory beginning February 1, 2022.
The announcement came a few days after the country implemented a nationwide lockdown for unvaccinated citizens. Individuals 12 years and older have been banned from stepping out of their homes except for essential activities such as work, attending classes, grocery shopping or exercise.
Those who are found to break these tyrannical rules could pay up to €1,450 ($1,636) in fines.
According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), a little over 64 percent of Austrians had been fully vaccinated as of November 19 – slightly below the European Union average of 65.5. The COVID-19 cases were also rising, hitting a daily total of 15,000 on November 18.
Austrian authorities said on November 17 that travelers will now need to show a negative PCR test upon entering the country, whereas lateral flow tests were allowed previously. (Related: Austria tightens border controls as coronavirus cases reach 2,000.)
Germany is also planning to introduce tighter COVID-19 restrictions for their unvaccinated citizens, according to Chancellor Angela Merkel. On November 18, the country's lower house of parliament voted in favor of new restrictions to curb the surge in cases. Germany's lawmakers also plan on including new restrictions for the workplace and public transport.
Health authorities issued a warning when over 65,000 new cases were reported in a single day. Robert Koch Institute Director Lothar Wieler said that the country is on the way to a serious emergency. "We are going to have a really terrible Christmas if we don't take countermeasures now."
He also called for a significant increase in vaccination rates to be well above 75 percent from its current rate at 67.7 percent. Some German regions have rates as low as 57.6 percent.
Weiler is also urging to limit citizen freedom by calling for the closure of bars and clubs, as well as an end to large-scale events and for other places to be restricted to those with vaccines or recovery certificates. The country is even going as far as canceling all of its renowned Christmas markets.
Unvaccinated people will be subjected to a "de facto lockdown," in which only vaccinated individuals are allowed to enter restaurants, cinemas, concert halls and sporting events. The unvaccinated people will also have to limit their contacts to five people from two households.
Greece, meanwhile, announced new restrictions that aimed at putting additional pressure on those who have not been vaccinated. These mandates include tougher limits on access to non-essential indoor venues and seven-month expiration dates on passes for over 60-year-olds who haven't received their booster shots.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that he believes these extreme measures will "help" those who remain hesitant to get vaccinated. He said that beginning November 22, all unvaccinated adult citizens can't enter indoor areas like cinemas, theatres, museums ang gyms even if they carry negative test results.
Greece now has its highest rate of confirmed cases since the pandemic started, and its death rate is at the worst level in six months. While around two-thirds of the Greek population has been fully vaccinated, the numbers vary wildly around the country. Northern regions have very low vaccination rates, with some falling under 50 percent.
Overall, Europe is still the most seriously affected by the pandemic, with the WHO warning that there will be a "hard winter ahead" for Europeans this year.

Shokugeki no Soma S3 Ep. 5: Here comes the obligatory supervillain
But before we get to the big bad baddie, let's wrap up the Moon Festival. Rindo drops by to tease Kuga for his third day defeat, but she has a point: he lost because he's so cooped up in his pop-up restaurant. I even pointed this out last week. Kuga's biggest mistake was turning down a taste of Yukihira's food. What self-respecting chef doesn't want to try new food? What self-respecting competitor doesn't want to see what his rivals are up to? Kuga gives in, and is ready to accept a shokugeki, but Yukihira insists that they ride the rest of the festival out. There's still one day left, so he hasn't necessarily won. I'd quit while I'm ahead. After all, he dug himself a huge hole in the first two days, so in terms of total sales across the whole event, he's still in second place. Why risk it? Then again, I'm not a shounen hero with plot armor, so what do I know? Something, something, dignity, I'm sure.
Then whole thing ends anticlimactically. Without any fanfare, Kuga comes out ahead in total sales. What a letdown. I didn't get to see if Kuga would do anything on the last day to counter Yukihira's curry mapo tofu thingamajig. I didn't get to see if Yukihira himself had one more trick up his sleeve. I know this arc has gone on long enough, but I'd rather have a good ending than a good set-up. They could've sacrificed some of the earlier episodes to flesh out the final day. We're also shown a montage of how the other stalls finished, but I don't care about them. I have no emotional investment whatsoever in the other characters, and unless you're showing me something neat about cooking or running a restaurant, their numbers are completely irrelevant to me. I only like the chocolate and curry concoction because it does honestly sound kinda cool.
What follows is a mini-backstory about how Terunori wanted to soundly beat everyone in order to re-challenge Eishi. Welp, so much for that. Back in the present day, Rindo takes Yukihira and Megumi to try Eishi's food. The top ranking member of the Elite Ten has his restaurant in the Yamanote Area, which looks bourgeois as fuck. Every single diner tries to come across as European elite as possible, which is ridiculous. You know the drill: fancy gowns for every lady and 3-piece suits for every gentleman. I'm surprised I didn't see a tux. This is not what the average 3-Michelin star clientele looks like. This is just anime once again glorifying some really outdated idea of upper-class French culture. The truth is, most 3-star chefs are a bit of a contradiction. They put together meals that will cost you hundreds of dollars per head, but at the same time, they insist on making little to no fuss about it. Oh, diners should just come as they are. So you can dress relatively casually. For men, a long-sleeved shirt with buttons and a sports jacket is honestly as formal as it's going to get. No restaurant would ever ask you to wear a suit. I've also been to 3-star restaurants where the dress code is straight up casual. You could show up in a t-shirt if you wanted, especially when the chef is blaring 80s music in the background. It's all about perception. These chefs want to feel as though their food is accessible. They want to feel as though they're cooking for the people. Of course, this is anything but the case. The bottom line will always be the bill at the end of the dinner, and if you're charging a table more than 100 or 150 bucks (this will vary depending on the size of the party), you're never cooking for "the people." But hey, whatever gets these super chefs through the day. Don't get me wrong. I love fine-dining. I just find this attitude bizarre at best and hypocritical at worst.
On the way to Eishi's restaurant, we hear about Eizan successfully managing twenty booths. A few chefs end up building an empire, and thus no longer really spend their day-to-day within a kitchen anymore. Gordon Ramsay, for instance, has 19 current restaurants scattered all across the world. He also does those trashy reality TV competitions like Hell's Kitchen and Masterchef. Well, I'm not sure if Hell's Kitchen is still a thing anymore. Anyways, you build an empire to make money, but you also get to the point where you need to expand just to keep talent within your fold. Say a talented cook comes up through your flagship restaurant. You see a ton of potential in them; they deserve a head chef position. But your flagship is already being helmed by your right-hand man. What are you to do? Just open up another restaurant. Over the course of decades, you're going to end up having a lot of talented people who need to get paid. It's easier to help them find opportunities elsewhere, but if you've got a giant ego like Ramsay, you'll just keep opening restaurants. When's the last time Ramsay has ever spent an entire night on the line, I wonder?
At Eishi's restaurant, he is shown chopping asparagus in an empty kitchen. This is silly especially compared to Terunori's giant Chinese operation full of Shaolin monk-wannabes. If you're pumping out 9-course meals, you need to command a strong staff, i.e. sous chefs, line cooks, garde manger, patissier, etc. The fact that Eishi is even cooking at all instead of running the pass is also out of touch with how a high-end restaurant really works. No single person can put together a real 9-course meal by themselves. In anime world, sure, but in the real world, no chance. I don't care if you're only cooking for three tables at a time. Even if you could pull this off, why would you want to? Having more people means you can ensure a higher quality meal. Plus, who did the prep work? Don't tell me he spent all day doing that too. As the head chef, you are the conductor. You make sure every ingredient comes to the pass on time, and nothing leaves the kitchen without your approval. Rindo reveals that Eishi is afraid to let others manage his food. Lots of people can cook. Not everyone, however, can be a leader.
As a side note, the decor of Eishi's restaurant is ghastly. Everything is shrouded in dark colors. You have these weird crystals dangling from the ceiling. It doesn't feel inviting whatsoever. It's like eating in an RPG dungeon.
Yukihira and company are immediately blown away as soon as they taste Eishi's cooking. Yadda yadda yadda, the dishes are transcendent, and everyone loses their clothes. Yukihira marvels over the progression of the courses, and admits that Eishi is out of his league. I don't know about the second part, but the first part is true. Designing a 9-course meal is a completely different beast. Now throw in some wine pairings.
The chef comes to greet the table, and proceeds to freak out about the temperature of the room, whether or not the seats are comfortable, and if the lighting is too dim (hint: it is). That's a turn-off. This guy is just a talented cook. He's definitely not a chef. Rindo also docks his food for its lack of passion. Eishi counters that his entire goal is to erase his presence from his dishes. That's just odd. It's even more odd that he doesn't ask about the food. Sure, that's confidence. But it's also stupid. If you get the chance, you always ask the diners how their meal was. It doesn't show weakness to ask them how the food was. It shows the willingness to accept criticism and grow.
Over in Erina's restaurant, she's still waiting for Yukihira's dad to show up. So that crush is still a thing after three seasons, huh? Gross. But instead, an anime supervillain shows up. Oh wait, it's just her father. He's so bad he was exiled from Totsuki… whatever that means. His own existence has even been erased from the family. That's a bit dramatic. Her father then proceeds to insult her diners, and she just stands there frozen in fear. Way to go, chef. Way to protect your customers. The guy then goes on some elitist spiel. Whatever. I'm not even going to bother parsing any of it. It's just hyperbolic anime villain nonsense but with a culinary twist. I don't know any 3-star Michelin chef who wouldn't enjoy a good burger. Ferran Adria draws his inspiration from street food. Nobody gives a shit about "true taste."
Luckily, Yukihira shows up just in time, and his obliviousness manages to cut through the tension. He even has another black pepper bun for Erina. Somehow, his presence alone causes Erina's father to lose his appetite, so the jerk leaves. He steps outside to greet a fleet of cars surrounding the restaurant. Oh my. But we're not done yet! With the help of a simple majority of the Elite Ten, Azami announces that he's taking over the school. What an anime supervillain!

Owatonna Man Receives Jail Sentence for Crash That Killed 2
Andy Brownell Published: April 7, 2018
WJON News
St. Cloud, MN (KROC-AM News) - A truck driver from Owatonna has been sentenced to 30-days in jail and a year on probation for causing a horrific traffic crash in St. Cloud a little over a year ago.
62-year-old James Cockram was driving a semi-truck that slammed into the back of a minivan that had stopped for a red light. The 66-year-old driver of the smaller vehicle and a 22-year-old passenger were killed in the crash on March 18th of last year. The collision was so violent the crumpled minivan was pushed 450 feet down Highway 10 before coming to a stop.
A witness told the State Patrol the truck was moving at highway speed and the driver made no effort to slow down. The State Patrol says Cockram told St. Cloud Police he may have dozed off just before the deadly crash occurred.
Cockram pleaded guilty two months ago to a misdemeanor traffic offense through a plea deal that led to the dismissal of a careless driving charge, which is also a misdemeanor. If he fails to meet the terms of the plea agreement, he could face another 60-days in jail.

First Look at Paul Reubens as Penguin's Dad in 'Gotham' Season 2
First Look at Paul Reubens as Penguin's Dad in Gotham Season 2
— January 5th, 2016
Back in October, just a few weeks after Season 2 of Gotham debuted, it was announced that Paul Reubens has signed on to play Tucker Cobblepot, the Penguin's father. It was never confirmed when this new character would actually debut on the show, but earlier today, Gotham executive producer Danny Cannon revealed the first photo of Tucker Cobblelpot on his Twitter page. The photo was taken on the first day of production after the holiday hiatus, with Paul Reubens pictured alongside his on-screen son, Robin Taylor.
Oddly enough, this is the second time that Paul Reubens is playing Tucker Cobblepot. He portrayed the Penguin's dad in the 1992 movie Batman Returns. No details have been given yet as to how the elder Cobblepot will be introduced into the show, but the return of Penguin's father certainly does come at a crucial time for this tormented character.
Earlier this season, Penguin's psyche was shattered when he learned that his beloved mother (Carol Kane) had been killed by Theo Galavan (James Frain). Penguin has also formed an alliance with the future Riddler, a.k.a. Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith), so we'll have to wait and see how that partnership turns out. Still, there will be a new slew of villains that will be introduced in the back half of Gotham Season 2

The fall finale, Worse Than a Crime, gave fans their first look at Mr. Freeze (Nathan Darrow). Executive producer John Stephens revealed that this character will be returning in the 12th episode, which serves as the midseason premiere on February 29, and the 13th episode. Other iconic villains set to debut this season include Clayface, Mad Hatter and Hugo Strange. B.D. Wong, who plays Hugo Strange, teased that he "thinks" his character will debut on the February 29 episode, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.
This season of Gotham has been dubbed Rise of the Villains, and with all of these new villains arriving soon, we'll have to wait and see how Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Captain Barnes (Michael Chiklis) will keep the peace. While we wait for new plot details to surface, take a look at the Penguin and his father in a new photo from Gotham.

I am always so mean when I wind a shuttle that this kind of thing happens all the time. I need to wind a new shuttle just one repeat from the end.... I will, I will, but not right now.
Here is a long bit of beaded tatting which I started, but then found I didn't quite have enough beads... I may work out a solution, or I may just give up.
Then a couple of weeks ago Fox shared some thread, Finca 16 in bright colours, which inspired me to start something new.
and also started the Yes-U-Can doily challenge on in-tatters.
That edging is truly lovely- looks like little violets.
I love that green beaded border - is it yours?
The green beaded piece is a necklace from the Pascale Provost book. Only I am not so sure about it now as I was at the beginning...it looks a tad 70's when I hold it up to my neck. However I may get my act together if only to get rid of the box containing it and those pesky beads! How do you cope with them, Fox, they are always escaping and disappearing into the carpet or between floorboards, that is why I no longer have enough for the completed project, grr!
Your tatting is lovely by the way - I love the edging!
Double over a piece of masking tape and stick it in a little tin or pill box or mint tin or something like that. Then plop the beads on the tape! Voila!
I love your tatting !


I am so happy to be participating in this 101+ Friend Gift Ideas Blog Hop to help Kristen Duke in her Birthday Celebration Week. There are over 100 talented bloggers sharing lots of inexpensive gift ideas and free printables! All week long, Kristen is sharing birthday tips and giveaways, so be sure to check out her Party!
I love being prepared to drop a small gift to a friend or neighbor for their birthday, so I jumped all over this collaboration and prepared myself a shelf full of these Chicken Spice Rubs w/ Printables!
– The following ingredients and spices: Brown Sugar, Paprika, Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Coriander, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Basil, Cumin, Dry Mustard, Celery Salt and Cayenne.
A delicious Chicken Spice Rub that is great to use when you are frying or grilling chicken!
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together using a spoon or whisk! Use approx 1 tablespoon of the rub per side of chicken and rub the mixture into the chicken. Allow to marinade on the meat for 8 to 24 hours. The longer the rub is on the chicken the more the chicken will take on the flavor.
I prefer to Grill or Fry the chicken after using the rub. If you are wanting to bake the chicken, I suggest searing all sides of the chicken first. Enjoy!
Have fun putting together these fun gifts!
Be sure and check out our I Like the Way You Roll Gift Tag and Idea for another fun friend gift!
Love this idea… especially is someone gave this to me! Thanks for sharing!

Kyle Rittenhouse: Five things you need to know ahead of 18-yr-old's homicide trial
Kyle Rittenhouse is on trial for fatally shooting two Black Lives Matter protesters with a semi-automatic rifle
By Kunal Dey

Kyle Rittenhouse is set to face a two-week-long homicide trial starting Tuesday, November 2, after jury selection was concluded on Monday, November 1.
The 18-year-old is on trial for fatally shooting two Black Lives Matter protesters with a semi-automatic rifle at a demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. The jury in the politically-charged case is expected to determine whether Rittenhouse acted in self-defense or was engaged in vigilantism when he used his AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle, killing two and wounding a third. Here are five things to know as opening statements begin on November 2:
Timothy Simpkins: Here's why Internet is comparing school shooter to Kyle Rittenhouse
Kyle Rittenhouse: Was White teen militia member who shot multiple Jacob Blake protesters working with Kenosha cops?
The jury pool
Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, was seen yawning and looking distracted during the all-day session at Kenosha County Courthouse on November 1. The judge finalized 20 people — 12 jurors and eight alternates — from a pool of 179 potentials. The pool of 20 constitutes 11 women and nine men, and the judge has said he would decide at the end of the trial which ones are alternates and which ones will deliberate. The court did not ask the jurors to identify their race as part of the selection process and did not immediately provide a racial breakdown of the group, according to the Daily Mail.
Rittenhouse traveled to Kenosha from his home state of Illinois during the August 2020 riots that broke out after a White Kenosha police officer shot Jacob Blake, a Black man, in the back. The then-17-year-old said he went there to protect property belonging to some friends after two nights of alleged arson, gunfire and ransacking of local businesses.

Potential charges against Rittenhouse
Rittenhouse is facing two counts of homicide, one of attempted homicide and two of recklessly endangering safety for firing his weapon near others. Meanwhile, he is also facing one count of possessing a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. Should the teenager be convicted of first-degree homicide, he could face life in prison.
Given the sharp polarization caused by the shootings, the seating of the jury moved along rather quickly. According to the Daily Mail, about a dozen potential jurors were dismissed after prosecutors deemed they had strong opinions about the case. The pool was interrogated about the involvement in the protests, their ability to be impartial, opinions on guns, as well as whether they had donated to Rittenhouse's legal defense fund. "How many of you would consider yourselves to be familiar with firearms?" Prosecutor Thomas Binger asked. "How many of you were personally affected by looting, arson, where your business was personally affected?"
According to the report, one prospective juror was dropped after she alleged she would find Rittenhouse guilty of all charges just because he was carrying an assault-style weapon. "I don't think a weapon like that should belong to the general public," the woman reportedly said. On the other hand, a couple of prospective jurors expressed concern about participating in the process owing to the political nature of the case. However, Judge Bruce Schroeder assured the candidates that precautions would be taken to ensure their safety. "My fear is walking out of any of the days of court and just wondering what we're walking out to," one potential juror stated. "What are our cars going to look like when we're going out to them? Are they going to be slashed? Are they going to be damaged? Am I going to be able to get home safe?"

Need for impartial jurors
Officials argued that the biggest hurdle was finding jurors who could commit they would set their personal feelings aside and assess the case objectively. "I want this case to reflect the greatness and fairness of Kenosha," Judge Schroeder said, stressing repeatedly that jurors must look at the case based solely on the evidence presented in the courtroom. "This is not a political trial," he cautioned. "It was mentioned by both political campaigns and the presidential campaign last year, in some instances very, very imprudently."
Judge Schroeder noted that there had been a lot of inaccurate information written by people who "don't know what you're going to know. Those of you who are selected for this jury, who are going to hear for yourselves the real evidence in this case." The judge added that Rittenhouse's constitutional right to a fair trial will come into play and that he didn't want it "to get sidetracked into other issues."

Rittenhouse, who reportedly aspired to become a police officer someday, has maintained that he went to the protest in order to protect the property that was being destroyed by rioters. During the demonstrations, Rittenhouse fatally shot 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle after the latter chased him across a parking lot shortly before midnight on August 25. Shortly after, as Rittenhouse was running down a street, he shot and killed 26-year-old Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27.

'This case has become very political'
The Associated Press noted how the case has been rather polarized. Conservatives largely view the teenager as a patriot exercising his right to self-defense as well as Second Amendment gun rights. Meanwhile, liberals have painted him as a vigilante and wannabe police who shouldn't have been armed during the riots.
"This case has become very political," Judge Schroeder told the jury pool. "It was involved in the politics of the last election year... You could go out now and read things from all across the political spectrum about this case, most of which is written by people who know nothing. I don't mean that that they are know-nothings. I mean that they don't know what you're going to know: those of you who are selected for this jury, who are going to hear for yourselves the real evidence in this case," he added.

Q: Set only one optional parameter of a JS function with ES6 In python, we can do:
func(a, b=1, c=2)

And then call it like that
func(8, c=5)

With ES6, we can declare it in the same way :
func(a, b=1, c=2)

But how to set c without setting b to undefined ?

A: You can create a function that accepts an object, and get the parameters using destructuring. Now you can pass the parameters in any order you wish:

function fn({ a, b=1, c=2 }) {
  console.log({ a, b, c })
}

fn({ a: 8, c: 5 })

According to our latest study, people's digital interactions and responses to online risks appear to be improving around the world – though perhaps surprisingly, many of those who have been targeted for abuse online say their perpetrators came from their immediate families and social circles.
Indeed, nearly two in three respondents (61 percent) said they had some familiarity with their online abusers. More than a third (36 percent) said they knew the perpetrator personally: 17 percent responded that the perpetrator was a friend or a family member, while nearly one in five (19 percent) said the perpetrator was an acquaintance. One quarter of those surveyed said the offender was someone they knew only online, and 37 percent said their online risk exposure came from a stranger. Family and friends accounted for a high percentage of perpetrators among those who said they were bullied online (41 percent) or discriminated against (36 percent).
These are some of the findings of Microsoft's latest study, "Civility, Safety and Interactions Online – 2017," which measured the perceptions of teens and adults about the online risks they face and how their interactions affect their lives.
Click on the image to see the full infographic or to download it.
To highlight that theme, our research was conducted in June 2017 and, following on from last year's study, gauges the attitudes and perceptions of teens (ages 13-17) and adults (ages 18-74) about the state of civility online today. We measured respondents' lifetime exposure to 20 different online risks – three more than the previous year – across four categories: behavioral, reputational, sexual and personal/intrusive.
The study was conducted in 23 countries, up from 14 countries in 2016, enabling us to prepare separate, regional reports for both Latin America and Asia.
For the second year in a row, unwanted contact surfaced as the leading online risk that people experienced (among the 20 evaluated) — with 41 percent of respondents reporting being contacted online by someone they did not wish to hear from. This is down 2 percentage points from 43 percent the previous year. The next closest-ranked risk was hoaxes, fraud and scams as a collective with 27 percent of respondents reporting exposure during their lifetime. This is the first year this risk was included in this survey.
More than half (53 percent) of people said they'd met their perpetrator in real life, about the same as last year. Within that group, 76 percent said they knew the offender before the online abuse happened.
One respondent in 10 said they confronted the perpetrator, down 11 percentage points from the previous year, while retaliation dropped to 9 percent from 17 percent previously.
Also, on the plus side, 66 percent strongly or somewhat agreed that overall, they were treated in a safe and civil manner online. Conversely, those who felt attacked (12 percent) suffered much higher rates of online risks and consequences.
The Microsoft Digital Civility Challenge tenets rose toward the top of the actions taken in response to online risks. Three of the five suggested challenge steps were in the top 10 of those taken in response to exposure to online abuse: "stood up for themselves" ranked third, "paused before replying" ranked fourth and, "defended someone else" ranked sixth.
Along with last year's research, we launched our Digital Civility Challenge in 2017, asking people to pledge to live by four common-sense guidelines for safer, healthier online interactions. We're reigniting that challenge this year, and asking supporters to take it one step further. In addition to (re-)committing to the challenge tenets and telling us that you've done so on social media, feel free to share with us. Use the hashtags #Challenge4Civility and #Im4DigitalCivility, examples of how doing the right thing online in the last year – or even the last day! – has made a positive difference for you, someone you know or your social circle and community.
Pause before replying to things you disagree with, and don't post or send anything that could hurt someone else, damage reputations or threaten someone's safety.
Last year's research indicated that a large portion of respondents (63 percent) either did not know, or were unsure, where to go for help if they encountered an online risk. Thankfully, that picture has improved with this latest round of research. Now, 45 percent of respondents, an improvement of 8 percent, said they know where to find help in managing online risks, and 46 percent said they are extremely or very confident in their ability to handle online risks.
Still, being that we've been producing online safety resources for the last 15 years, and working with others to create additional materials, we thought it might be useful to "map" some of those resources to the risks highlighted in our survey. We've included several Microsoft resources and highlighted some great pieces of information from others. That new resource can be found here.
As we inspire a movement to unite and grow a culture of digital civility, we again share some best practices for all stakeholders. Indeed, technology companies large and small, law- and policy-makers, educators and school officials, parents, young people and members of civil society all have a role to play in fostering online experiences that start with empathy and highlight inclusion and respect. In addition to these, we share the new manifesto for life online from our inaugural Council for Digital Good.
These actions are the building blocks for the kind of online communities we want to engender and the type of positive and inclusive online movement we want to create. We thank our partners and collaborators that have taken up the digital civility banner and are launching their own initiatives and programs rooted in this universal message of treating each other with respect and dignity. Thanks to NoBully.org, the International Bullying Prevention Association, National Cyber Security Alliance, the organizers and affiliates of international Safer Internet Day, UNICEF and the Anti-Defamation League, to name just a few. We are eager to build momentum for additional projects and programs in 2018 and beyond.
We hope you'll get involved this Safer Internet Day and become an advocate for digital civility today and every day. Our Online Safety website and Online Safety resources page offer advice and guidance for exploring and handling almost any online safety situation. And, for more regular news and information, you can connect with us on Facebook and Twitter. Remember to recommit to the Digital Civility Challenge, and here's to a year of safe, healthy and productive online interactions!

To support our traditional land use patterns, the state of Vermont has a program that "designates" downtowns, villages, growth centers, new town centers, and neighborhoods. The idea behind these so-called "designation programs" is to channel growth, through various incentives, into compact centers, thereby discouraging scattered development across Vermont's valuable farm and forestland. VNRC is a strong supporter these laws and was instrumental in the passage of the growth centers law by the legislature. Smart Growth Vermont, which merged with VNRC in 2011, shaped and championed the creation of the Downtown Program.
VNRC works with partner organizations and state agencies to strengthen the state's redevelopment and land use designation programs (e.g., downtowns, growth centers) with strategic process improvements and improved incentives. We monitor and participate in the process to ensure that the original intention of these programs is met so that we can maintain our distinctive community centers and the economic, environmental, and aesthetic benefits of the surrounding lands.

Health Insurance Marketplaces are now sending letters to notify certain employers that one or more of their employees has been determined eligible for advance premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions and has enrolled in a Marketplace plan. Because these events may trigger penalties under the Affordable Care Act's "pay or play" provisions for applicable large employers (generally those with 50 or more full-time employees, including full-time equivalents), such employers may seek to appeal an employee's eligibility determination.
Employers have 90 days from the date stated on the Marketplace notice to file an appeal. In the appeal, the employer may assert that it provides its employee access to affordable, minimum value employer-sponsored coverage or that its employee is enrolled in employer coverage, and therefore that the employee is ineligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit or cost-sharing reductions.
Employers should mail or fax the appeal request form or letter—with a copy of the Marketplace notice—to the address or fax number provided by Healthcare.gov. After the appeal is filed, the employer will get a letter saying the appeal was received; the letter will provide a description of the appeals process and instructions for submitting additional materials if needed.
Note: An appeal will not determine if the employer is subject to a "pay or play" penalty, as only the IRS, not the Marketplace or the Marketplace Appeals Center, can make such determinations.
Be sure to visit our Pay or Play section for step-by-step guidance, worksheets, and calculators that can help employers understand if they will be subject to a penalty and how to calculate it.


By Jane Candles – beautifully scented and made in Buckinghamshire.
After one of 'those' commutes by Tube to work I arrived smiling having seen a lovely Instagram post from @exploringlondon.
One of my Laundry candles had travelled with them to the Oatlands Park Hotel where they were staying for the weekend and I received a photograph in situ of their happy retreat.
It's nearly the weekend and we've escaped to the beautiful Oatlands Park Hotel in the South West of London, just inside the M25. And one thing we love to bring with us to our hotel rooms is a gorgeous candle to set the relaxing atmosphere and this one is a beauty.
Candle "By Jane Studio" (@byjanestudio). An incredible, strong scent that actually fills the room, hand-poured in London. Soy and vegan. What more could you ask for?! Love supporting London businesses and women who are absolute bosses at life!
I decided to make a candle specifically for fitting into your hand luggage to travel lightly with you so that you can make anywhere you are feel like home, relaxing and spa-like. 'Come away with me' travel candle in either a gold or silver slip lid tin will spread the throw of amber, patchouli and lily around your room.

Learn more about the O'Rourke Lab's work and impact.
O'Rourke Lab Overview
A major focus of the O'Rourke Lab centers on understanding the mechanisms involved in insulin resistance and adipocytes glucose metabolism. Our laboratory's unique adipose tissue resource, including a well-annotated human subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue bank, enables our group to correlate our discoveries at the bench with patient physiology, histology and outcomes related to bariatric surgery, weight loss and disease remission. Our 2D and 3D human adipocyte cell culture models allow detailed mechanistic interrogation of these tissues.
We also use murine models to study the role of adipose tissue in regulating in vivo metabolism, along with models of adipocyte transplant to investigate the regulatory effects of adipocytes on metabolism and insulin resistance. A key objective of our work is to create therapeutic vehicles using engineered adipose tissue transplants to treat adipose tissue dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. We use advanced technologies, such as transcriptomics, RNA sequencing and single-cell sequencing, flow cytometry, and a range of cellular metabolic assays to answer questions about adipocyte dysfunction and its impact on systemic metabolism.
Clarifying the Role of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
The ECM is comprised of molecules that surround adipocytes and regulate cell metabolism. Our lab has demonstrated that the adipose tissue ECM is altered in diabetes, and that the ECM contributes to adipocyte metabolic dysfunction. Our work continues to elucidate the mechanisms of ECM-adipocyte crosstalk and to develop methods to manipulate the ECM to improve adipocyte and systemic metabolism.
Bioengineering Artificial Matrices as a Therapeutic Vehicle in Diabetes
In collaboration with bioengineers, we are developing artificial matrices (bioscaffolds, hydrogels), in which we culture adipocytes. By manipulating thes3e matrices, we can engineer healthier adipocytes that can be transplanted into mice with diabetes and obesity in effort to cure these diseases.
Defining Preadipocyte Subpopulations Within Human Adipose Tissue
In addition to studying matrix–adipocyte interactions, we investigate the mechanisms by which the ECM interacts with adipose tissue stem cells, using single cell RNA sequencing to define preadipocyte and macrophage subpopulations within human adipose tissue in diabetes. Our objective is to understand metabolically beneficial and detrimental adipose tissue stem cells and macrophages in human adipose tissue.We are developing novel methods to isolate, extract and manipulate these cells in vitro to understand how they function–and how we can make them healthier.
Investigating Additional Cell–Cell and Cell–Matrix Interactions
Our laboratory conducts research into other cell types, including macrophages, several types of immune cells and endothelial cells. The aim of this work is to better understand how these cell types communicate with adipocytes and the extracellular matrix so that we can identify the regulating mechanisms and engineer healthier adipose tissue.
Adipocyte—Cancer Crosstalk
Our labhave demonstrated that dysfunctional adipocytes and adipose tissue contribute to the development and growth of pancreatic cancer. We are studying the crosstalk between pancreatic cancer cells and adipocytes in in vitro murine pancreatic cancer models with cancer researchers at UM.
The O'Rourke Laboratory has advanced the understanding of adipose tissue biology and dysfunction and its role in metabolic disease and, more recently, cancer in many ways. Some our findings include:
Implication of the ECM in adipose tissue dysfunction in the context of diabetes. Our work found that in tissue in 3D culture from patients without diabetes, the ECM prevents metabolic dysfunction with respect to glucose metabolism in adipocytes, while the ECM in tissue from patients with the disease negatively impacts glucose metabolism. Our findings demonstrate that the ECM is a promising means to influence adipose tissue metabolism.
Further work investigating ECM–cellular interactions in our 3D culture systems has implicated advanced glycation end products and Rho signaling as key players in regulating ECM–adipocyte metabolic crosstalk and may alter how adipocytes metabolize glucose.
Our research on the role of inflammation and fibrosis in adipose tissuehas homed in on cell stress and hypoxia as triggers of inflammatory processes within adipose tissue. More specifically, we have pinpointed p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase as an important regulator in hypoxia in adipose tissue.
Our group was the first to report and define the role of the human adipose tissue natural killer (NK) cell phenotype, with upregulated NKG2D, in the context of diabetes and obesity in a mouse model as well as in human tissue. We were the first to demonstrate, in a mouse model, that ablating the NK cells improved systemic insulin resistance, suggesting that NK cells might serve as a potential therapeutic target.
In recent, collaborative work on pancreatic cancer cell–adipocyte crosstalk, we have found that adipocytes support the growth and spread of cancer cells. Additionally, we have identified glutamine as a potentially important mediator in these processes.
Our findings have the potential to advance how we treat obesity, diabetes and cancer, leading us toward truly personalized treatment approaches. Our overarching goal is to generate novel cell-based therapies, using autologous adipose stem cells and adipocytes delivered in engineered artificial matrices, for diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
We work closely with many basic scientists, surgeon-scientists and bioengineers. Some current collaborations include investigations with:
Carey Lumeng, MD, PhD, of Internal Medicine, on adipose tissue biology.
Tim Frankel, MD, a surgical oncologist in the Section of General Surgery, on adipocyte–pancreatic cancer crosstalk.
Lonnie Shea, PhD, of Biomedical Engineering, on extracellular matrix–adipocyte crosstalk
Andy Putnam, PhD, of Biomedical Engineering and Cardiovascular Medicine, on matrix–adipocyte crosstalk with an emphasis on characterizing the mechanical properties of tissue.
We continue to explore the interactions between adipocytes and other cell types within adipose tissue and their role in regulating cellular function. In particular, we are interested in endothelial cells that give rise to blood vessel growth in adipose tissue. Evidence suggests these processes are also impaired in diabetes.
We are expanding our bioengineered matrices work to gain a greater understanding of the role of mechanical factors in addition to molecular interactions. Our observations to date suggest that mechanical properties of these matrices may have detrimental effects on adipocyte metabolism.

Q: Markov's Inequality and Probability distribution? I know that Markov's inequality provides an upper bound for probability of a random variable being greater than a certain value, but in what instances/distributions would the upper bound be the exact probability?

A: Markov's inequality says $EX \geq aP\{X\geq a\}$ for any non-negative random variablse $X$ and any $a \geq 0$. Equality holds iff $X$ is equal to the constant $a$ with probability $1$. To see this assume that $EX = aP\{X\geq a\}$. Then $aP\{X\geq a\} =EX= EXI_{X\geq a} +EXI_{X<a} \geq aP\{X\geq a\}+ EXI_{X<a}$ so $EXI_{X<a}=0$. This implies that $X \geq a$ almost surely. Now $E(X-a)=aP\{X\geq a\}-a=0$ and $X-a$ is non-negative, so $X=a$ almost surely.

How much deposit do I need to buy a house? Expert tips
Martin Lewis advises on mortgage holidays in latest lockdown
Before someone can take their first steps on the property ladder, they must first tackle the issue of a house deposit. A house deposit is a lump sum which is paid upfront when purchasing a property, and it is a percentage of the cost of the property. Express.co.uk spoke to property experts for savings tips, and to find out how much people should aim to save up for a house deposit.
How much deposit do you need to buy a house?
House deposits are usually between five and 20 percent of the cost of the property.
Pete Mugleston, Mortgage Advisor and MD at Online Mortgage Advisor, explained to Express.co.uk: "Saving for a house deposit can be quite daunting to those who are just starting to save.
"Your deposit will require you to provide at least five percent of the cost of the property.
"When it comes to how much mortgage you can afford, this will depend on how much you earn per year and the condition of your credit report/score, i.e. if you have any bad credit issues, this might affect the amount you can borrow, although it is definitely still possible to get a mortgage."
Although some people successfully secure a house with a five percent deposit, in the current economic circumstances it may be a good idea to try to save up a bigger deposit than this.
Richard Hayes, CEO of online mortgage broker Mojo Mortgages, said: "First-time buyers should aim to save around 10 to 15 percent of the house price for a deposit.
"The bigger your deposit, the lower your mortgage interest rate, and the smaller your monthly repayments.
"However, we know it's really difficult to save that amount of money and it's tougher for people who can't even rely on the bank of mum and dad.
"It's harder now than it has ever been before, as one of the immediate consequences of the Covid outbreak last spring was the withdrawal of the highest loan-to-value (LTV) mortgages, as lenders scrambled to reduce their risk exposure, therefore making it harder for first-time buyers to get on the property ladder with five to 10 percent deposits.
"Back then, nine out of 10 90 percent mortgages were taken off the market, and 95 percent mortgages all but disappeared.
"Now, as the banks start to relax a bit, the 90-percenters are coming back on the market but having a deposit of 15 percent as I mentioned before gives first-time buyers access to better mortgage rates, however, we do know it's incredibly tough to get that amount of money together."

Tips for saving up a house deposit
Taking small steps, such as cutting down on weekly outgoings and saving little and often, may help people to reach their savings goals.
Mr Mugleston said: "The best way to start saving for a deposit would be to cut down on unnecessary spending.
"There are many budgeting apps that can assist with this, as they help to visualise where your money is going and highlight what expenses can be cut.
"Simple things like unsubscribing from services you don't use on your TV, cancelling your gym membership if you haven't used it for a long time, and looking around for cheaper utility providers, can help you save each month."
Brian Murphy, Head of Lending at Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB), said: "Although it might seem obvious, making steps to save little and often can contribute to a deposit.
"You do not have to save huge chunks of money. It can be as simple as buying one less take-out coffee a week or going for a less expensive option when at the supermarket.
"Some banks also provide the option of 'round-ups' meaning if, for example, you spend £2.83 on an item, the account will 'round-up' the transaction and put aside 17p in a separate pot.
"Slowly and steadily, the savings pot grows without you even thinking about it."
People who are looking to buy their first home may benefit by talking to a mortgage or property advisor about their options.
Savings accounts such as Lifetime ISAs (LISA) can also help to build up a sizable deposit, as the Government adds a bonus onto LISA savings.
With a Lifetime ISA, savers can put in up to £4,000 per year until they are aged 50, and the Government will add a 25 percent bonus, capped at a maximum of £1,000 per year.
Cash can be withdrawn from a Lifetime ISA when someone buys their first home, are aged 60 or over or are terminally ill with less than 12 months to live.
But withdrawing money from Lifetime ISA for any other reason will incur a penalty charge.
The charge is currently 20 percent, but it goes back up to 25 percent on April 6, 2021.
