"Myo" stands for muscle, and "clonus" means rapid alternation between contractions and relaxation periods. Myoclonic seizure patients, therefore, usually experience fleeting muscle jerks or twitches. If you're having a myoclonic episode, you might feel like you're being shocked or are having repeated, uncontrollable spasms or shudders.
It is common for people without seizures to experience brief myoclonic spasms like hiccups, eyelid twitches or jerking while falling asleep, so these symptoms don't necessarily indicate seizure activity. Talk with your doctor if you're concerned that your myoclonic symptoms are becoming severe or are not within normal parameters.
The most common time for myoclonic episodes to occur is while the body is still tired. Many patients complain of a series of seizures upon waking, which taper off later in the day. The jerking movements occur quickly, lasting for a couple of seconds at most and occurring on both sides of the body. You may experience one twitch, spasm or jump, causing you to drop a water glass or make a brief facial contortion. In a severe case of myoclonus, however, you might have severely distorted movements that occur continually and affect your ability to walk, talk or eat. Some patients with myoclonic seizures also have difficulty sleeping due to constant, overnight muscle twitching.
Myoclonic jerking can also occur in people who have Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or Alzheimer's, so your physician may want to do a variety of bloodwork, MRIs and CT scans before confirming a seizure diagnosis.
It is rare to lose consciousness during myoclonic episodes, though it isn't impossible. If you experience more than a few seconds of a dazed state after your seizure, talk with your doctor about the possibility of a complex partial diagnosis. Myoclonic jerks can be present with these major motor seizures that result in longer periods of unconsciousness or confusion, so you may be experiencing a combination of seizure types.

Madagascar: Death toll from Cyclone Batsirai rises to 120
Authorities struggle to accommodate about 30,000 people displaced by the storm as the number of casualties jumps.
The disaster relief agency said 87 deaths occurred in the Ikongo district in southeast Madagascar [Rijasolo/AFP]
Published On 11 Feb 202211 Feb 2022
The death toll from Cyclone Batsirai in Madagascar jumped to 120 on Friday with tens of thousands needing shelter after their homes were destroyed.
The state disaster relief agency said of the deaths, 87 had occurred in one area: the Ikongo district in southeast Madagascar. It said earlier this week it was still collecting details about what has happened in Ikongo.
The latest update raises the death toll from 111 reported earlier on Friday.
The agency said the cyclone left about 124,000 people with their homes damaged or destroyed, and some 30,000 more displaced and camping at 108 sites.
The cyclone hit the Indian Ocean island late on Saturday, slamming the southeastern coastline before receding late on Sunday.
Batsirai was Madagascar's second destructive storm in two weeks, after Tropical Storm Ana killed at least 38 people.
The German private aid organisation Welthungerhilfe said it could take up to five more days to reach all of the affected villages from Batsirai because of road closures caused by the landslides. Residents of communities are still trapped by high water.
Rescue teams from Germany, France and other countries are helping local efforts.
Two weeks ago tropical storm Ana caused severe damage in Madagascar, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The island nation of Madagascar, with a population of nearly 30 million, was already struggling with food shortages in the south, a consequence of a severe and prolonged drought.

Home › Infratil News › 2006 › Austral Pacific Energy Ltd Options for Commercialising Douglas Gas Discovery to be Evaluated
Austral Pacific Energy Ltd Options for Commercialising Douglas Gas Discovery to be Evaluated
AEN) (Austral Pacific) announced today that the PPL 235 joint venture is about to embark on studies designed to evaluate the options for commercialising its Douglas gas discovery in Papua New Guinea. Austral Pacific has a 35% interest in PPL 235, the other joint venture participant being Rift Oil PLC (65%).
The Douglas-1 well reached a target depth of 1978 metres on 26th May 2006. The drilling and wireline logging results have now been fully evaluated and the conclusion drawn by the joint venture's technical committee is that the Douglas well appears to be an exciting gas discovery with a significant gas resource of potentially several hundred billion cubic feet contained in a large structure with a maximum area of over 40 square kilometres. The discovery is also expected to serve to lower the exploration risk for other identified prospects and leads in the licence. It is the joint venture's current intention to proceed with a detailed feasibility study to determine a commercialisation strategy for this resource.
The excellent results obtained from the drilling record, wireline logs and in particular from the Multi-Formation Tester, indicate that there are two reservoirs (Alene and Toro) of sweet gas with good deliverability and likely moderate condensate content. The joint venture had initially considered conducting flow testing on the Douglas-1 well but given the logs and MFT as well as the knowledge obtained from data from nearby wells, the joint venture believes it has a sound understanding of the envelope within which the formation and fluid properties lie such that incurring the costs of flow testing would not be warranted at this time.
The joint venture is also planning to acquire additional seismic in the licence in order to determine the extent of the Douglas resource, to define appraisal well locations on the Douglas structure and to define exploration drilling locations on other prospects. The joint venture is planning to bring forward to the 4th quarter of 2006 its commitment to acquire and process 50 kilometres of new 2D seismic. The new seismic data, when integrated with the existing data base, will elevate the joint venture's understanding of the prospectivity of the licence and will be critical in determining the best locations for future drilling and enable the joint venture to maximise the return on its investment.
In making the announcement Austral Pacific's Chief Executive Officer, Rick Webber, said, "The goal for our company is to create shareholder wealth by establishing and growing a low cost, sustainable oil and gas production profile. The discovery of gas at Douglas, the initiation of studies to look at the options for commercialising the resource, and the acquisition of further seismic in the Douglas licence to help us understand the extent of the resource and the prospectivity in the licence area are key steps along the path to that goal."
Clarification At its recent Annual General Meeting, the Company stated that merger and acquisition activity would be a potential component in its growth strategy and since the meeting the Company has noted the existence of rumours of an impending transaction involving the Company. The Company confirms that while M&A activity remains part of its corporate development strategy, it is not currently in any merger discussions with any party.

Now Ladysmith Ponzi Scheme Goes Virtual
Ponzi Scheme Now Hides Location
As the horror and disbelief that surrounds the growing Ponzi scheme being run in Ladysmith continues, a new twist presents clients with a new layer of misinformation.
The seeming Ponzi scheme being run in the small town of Ladysmith has garnered so much media attention and has grown so out of control that the owner has announced that he will no longer have physical offices.
100% Return in 15 Days
The scheme, which offers a too good to be true return of 100% in 15 days, is called Bitcoin Wallet but has little or nothing to do with bitcoin other than to appeal to consumers sense of greed. Bitcoin, an online cryptocurrency, has a reputation for making big returns (and big losses) in years gone by.
The owner Sphelele "Sgumza" Mbatha has been raking in the cash since his so-called investment scheme began several months ago. He supposedly only takes a 10% cut for his services but a growing bank balance of funds could be at risk as more and more consumers add more and more funds as the hysteria grows.
Cracks Begin To Appear
The National Credit Regulator (NCR) has made it known that the NCR credit provider certificate that was formerly displayed at the schemes head office in Ladysmith is not legitimate. They would now, however, have a hard time raiding the premises along with the SAPS since the owner has already packed up his office and is now harder to find than ever.
Going Virtual
Over the past weeks, people trying to get in on the action have been sleeping on the street and in nearby bushes outside the offices in an effort to get to the front of the long queues of thousands of desperate clients.
Some clever homeless people were recently even offering a 'hold your spot in the queue' service waiting for people overnight in the queue for a few bucks.
Now the owner has told people that he has been asked to move by the local Municipality. He claims that all the people queuing is stated as the reason for his having to move from the site. This does not seem to be accurate since the Municipality has outright refuted this claim.
The scheme has announced on its website that it is now going to be operating online only in an effort to give more people access faster and cut down on all the queues.
Is this a cunning step to hide the owner's location and still take more people money or is it the next step in making a run for it before the authorities close in or the unsustainable nature of such a scheme catches up with Mr Mbatha, who was working as a paramedic prior to the recent boom in clientele?
'The scheme has announced on its website that it is now going to be operating online only'
Local police and the media have been urging consumers not to get caught up in the madness surrounding the scheme and potentially lose all their money.
Research into such schemes by the DTI and NCR reveals that in Ponzi schemes only 20% of investors actually get their money back. It is unclear if the research includes the current Ladysmith BitCoin Wallet Scheme or not.
Please note: at present no authority has proved in court or through investigation that the scheme is illegal and a Ponzi scheme though it does have all the hallmarks of such a scheme.
Ladysmith Ponzi Scheme Office Displaying NCR Certificate?
Fake NCR Certificate On Display at Ponzi Scheme Head Office? Debt Counsellors and Credit Providers are required to display a sticker and registration certificate issued to them by the National Credit Regulator (NCR).

Giving kids somewhere to play
Efforts are underway to address the pitiful shortage of kids' playgrounds in Vietnam's major cities.
It was a fun day for brothers Hoang Hai and Hoang Nam, six and eight years old. Waiting for their mother at a shopping mall, they found a new game for themselves: running and sliding along the floor to see who could go the furthest.
They laughed a lot, as the worried eyes of shopkeepers, scared of what damage they may do, looked on. Now they ask to go to the shopping mall every week, so they can play again.
It's better than playing football on the tiny strip of ground in front of their building, where they have to avoid traffic and sometimes get told off by drivers.
Other kids also have a hard time finding somewhere safe to play, as there's a shortage of playgrounds for kids in Vietnam's large cities.
Lack of public space
The rising population in cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City increases demand for residential areas, bringing more and more buildings but not enough public space or, especially, playgrounds for children.
Recognizing the issue, a number of investors in new and luxury apartment blocks make sure to allow for outdoor space for both adults and kids.
But there is little in the way of public space or sometimes none at all at old or affordable apartment blocks for low-income earners and houses in low-rise residential areas, which remain the majority in cities.
Hai and Nam's mother, Ms. Mai Huong, and her family live in Hanoi's Cau Giay district, and she noticed there was no playground when they bought the place but could only afford a small apartment.
"It's not easy to buy a house in Hanoi, and high-quality apartments with good amenities and services are expensive as well," she said.
She had to accept that her two active sons would be left just to play with their toys or watch TV after school.
On weekends, they often invite their friends over. Sometimes, they are taken to the park or, better still, the entertainment zone at shopping malls. But this form of entertainment is not cheap, so it's not a regular occurrence.
Meanwhile, though having access to a small public space nearby, Mr. Mark Harris, an Australian living in Ho Chi Minh City's District 3, struggles to find a safe place for his kids to play.
The small public space nearby serves different purposes. In the morning, it's a small market, while in the afternoon it's filled with fruit juice stalls and people playing badminton and shuttle kicking.
Parks are an option, of course, as they are for Ms. Huong and other parents, but there are only a few and not many are close.
Moreover, they're crowded and not the open space Mr. Harris wants, while the only equipment are slides, see-saws, and swings. Kids have to always wait in line for their turn.
"Back home, parks and gardens are everywhere, so it's easy to have outdoor activities or just chill on the grass," he said. "There are much fewer green places like that here."
Agreeing, Ms. Kim Duc, Co-founder of Think Playgrounds, a local pioneering volunteer group building free playgrounds for kids, said it is necessary to have playgrounds in residential zones that children can get to in about five minutes. But public awareness of the important role that playing has for children is thin on the ground, which means the shortage continues.
Playing and doing outdoor activities make an important contribution to children's brain development, according to many international scientific research papers and specialists.
Such activities help them develop nerves that stimulate intelligence, thinking, and expression, and they also practice language and social skills when interacting with other kids.
With a lack of playgrounds, many Vietnamese kids play more online games on smartphones than do outdoor activities, though it's far from the only factor at play.
These games are proven to be dangerous for kids at an early age, as they can have a negative effect on their eyes, mental health, and activeness.
In fact, the rate of overweight and obese children aged less than five has increased from 2.7 per cent in 2000 to about 12 per cent in 2017 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, according to the latest figures from the National Institute of Nutrition in 2017.
For children to play
Young volunteers have been working with companies and non-government organizations to resolve the lack of playgrounds.
In 2014, Ms. Judith Hansen, a retired American with a passion for taking children's photos, noticed the shortage of playgrounds in Hanoi while in the capital on holiday and was inspired to form a group of young architects, engineers, and students and set up Think Playgrounds, the first group to raise awareness among people and cooperate with them to build free playgrounds for children.
Think Playgrounds has worked together with residents, businesses, and local authorities to take back public land for playgrounds, with a wide range of equipment being made from reclaimed materials such as old tires, straw, and discarded wood.
There are to be some 150 playgrounds built by Think Playgrounds all over the country by the end of this year, including 80 in Hanoi. Those that have already opened have made a difference for local kids.
One of them, Tuan Anh, a five-year-old boy in Chuong Duong ward in Hanoi's Hoan Kiem district, goes to the new playground nearby every afternoon to slide, climb, or play games. Before the playground was built, he only went out sometimes to ride his bicycle.
"The neighbors also bring their kids here, so he has more friends," Tuan Anh's grandmother said. "He looks forward to coming here every day."
Think Playgrounds has also inspired other groups to build playgrounds, such as Cung Hanh Dong (Act Together) and the Song Ma Volunteer Team in Hanoi, Kicodo - a group of architecture lecturers and students of Da Nang Architecture University on the central coast, and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union at Nha Trang University in south-central Khanh Hoa province.
With its efforts to join with the community, Think Playgrounds encourages more and more enterprises and NGOs to join in and support its projects, such as Ford Vietnam, Jouer Pour Vivre, Kukuk Kultur e.V, HealthBridge Vietnam, the Japan Foundation, the France - Germany Cultural Fund, the Goethe Institut in Hanoi, the French Cultural Centre (L'espace), Plan International Vietnam, and Live and Learn Vietnam.
Think Playgrounds is working with HealthBridge Vietnam and UN Habitat to renovate five public spaces in the capital's Tan Mai ward, Hoang Mai district, which will provide a combination of a small park, a community garden, a public art space, and a playground with access for disabled children.
Two other projects are also planned, in Go Vap and Nha Be districts in Ho Chi Minh City, at the end of this summer.
Established to build dozens of playgrounds, the partnership between HealthBridge Vietnam and Think Playgrounds has been a win-win endeavor, Ms. Thanh Ha, Livable Cities Project Manager at HealthBridge Vietnam, told VET.
"We recognized that Think Playground's success in working with communities raised awareness among the public about playgrounds and attracted the attention of the community, the media, and policymakers," she said.
"The results of our advocacy efforts have created policy changes at the upper level that are favorable for Think Playground's work with the community and authorities. Together, we have made important improvements in communities and in the lives of urban residents. VN Economic Times

Q: scrollView not scrolling all my contents I'm using a scrollView and inside it used a view.

I set sizes like this:

I think the height of my view always is 959.
but when I change the height from 959 to 2000, I see a orange line and when I use Editor->resolve Auto..->update frames my custom hight returns to 959.
even when I set height from pin I see red lines:

I want all my content scrolling. The  content's height is 2000.

A: You check this following way:
Scrollview Constraints:
Set top to your super view
Set bottom to your super view
Set leading to your super view
Set trailling to your super view
Take One UIView into scrollview and apply following constraints(Equal to same Scrollview width and Height)
Set top to scrollview
Set bottom to scrollview
Set leading to scrollview
Set trailling to scrollview
Dont forget to set Equal width to scrollview
Then do add your all UIElements whatever you want.
Consider like below:
lable 1----> set necessory constraint to UIView
lable 2----> set necessory constraint to UIView
lable 3----> set necessory constraint to UIView
lable 4----> set necessory constraint to UIView
lable 5----> set necessory constraint to UIView and you give Bottom constraint to UIView
Then scroll will automatically work..Dont adjust value like that.If you want more large screen Change View controller Simulated size to Freeform and there you adjust your prefer height and place scrollview based on that.

Foundation opens Santa Maria headquarters
By Staff Report / Friday, December 2nd, 2016 / Comments Off on Foundation opens Santa Maria headquarters
Foundation President Ron Gallo at the Santa Maria headquarters opening Nov. 30.
The Santa Barbara Foundation took a big step in expanding its footprint in North Santa Barbara County on Nov. 30 with the opening of a regional headquarters in Santa Maria.
The 2,600-square-foot facility at 2625 S. Miller St. will be staffed with full time community outreach members and an office manager.
Foundation President Ron Gallo or Chief Philanthropic Officer Jan Campbell will be in residence roughly one day a week and foundation board meetings will be held in a special conference room that will also accommodate other nonprofit board meetings.
"We're looking forward to working with donors, building leadership and tackling community problems," Gallo said in remarks to about 100 community and business leaders at the opening. "Nothing is more important than getting people together."
With more than $320 million in assets, the Santa Barbara Foundation is the largest foundation in the region, according to Pacific Coast Business Times research.
Opening the regional headquarters marks an extension of a program that began two decades ago when the foundation launched a North Santa Barbara County affiliates program to connect with nonprofits and facilitate community giving in the Santa Maria Valley.
Foundation Chief Operating Officer Judy Taggart negotiated the lease on the Miller Street property and said it was a step forward in meeting the needs of North Santa Barbara County. Kathy Simas will be the foundation's north county director.
With a larger population than the South Coast and higher unemployment, Santa Maria and Lompoc have been much slower to recover from the Great Recession than the Santa Barbara-Goleta area.
Recently, the Santa Maria Valley has experienced a bit of a building boom, including new apartment projects being built by the Towbes Group.
Santa Maria City Manager Rick Haydon and Santa Maria Valley Chamber President Glenn Morris were on hand for the foundation's headquarters opening along with a number of nonprofit leaders.
Gallo said the foundation had one recent success in partnering with Marian Regional Medical Center to train physicians who will remain in the area once their residency ends.
Other projects the foundation is working on in North County include increased programs and services to caregivers and a program that encourages sensible development to preserve farm resources that help stamp out hunger and create local sourcing for food.
During a brief interview with the Business Times, Gallo said he was also interested in working with Allan Hancock College to explore ways to bring a four-year degree program to the Santa Maria Valley.

Cuyahoga County's 'alternative education' program prepares students with multiple disabilities
Shagrin Falls resident John Manning struggled to find a place where his 4-year-old daughter, Mia, could get the specialized care and education she needed every day.
"She is non-ambulatory, classified as speech impaired, and has more than 25 medical problems listed in her medical history, including epilepsy and more," he said. "She is primarily tube-fed."
So when Manning came across LeafBridge alternative education program for cerebral palsy patients in Greater Cleveland, he was thrilled. This is a Brooklyn Heights-based educational center that provides educational and therapeutic services customized to the needs of students with multiple disabilities.
For Mia, who is functionally blind, that means a dimly lit room, with physical, occupational, speech, and other therapies, along with instructions from staff trained for her visual impairment. Manning said she had a "noticeable difference" when she came home from school.
"There are some details and information that I get from my daughter's teachers and therapists that I never notice or pay attention to because I am not an expert or expert in the field," Manning said. Added.

Harper learns numbers and colors in an elementary school classroom at the LeafBridge Alternative Education Program in Brooklyn Heights in October 2022.
Mia is one of LeafBridge's 14 students who take students from preschool to age 22. Students with multiple disabilities often face challenges when it comes to learning and growing in more traditional classrooms that typically lack specialized program resources and individual attention. As LeafBridge can provide.
Beth Lucas, president and CEO of United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cleveland, which operates LeafBridge, said the educational program is part of a wider program, also called LeafBridge, which provides children with outpatient and intensive care. says it is something. ' is required.
"The idea behind this program is that students can make connections with other students with disabilities in a safe space that also offers treatment programs," Lucas said. "So physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy."
The combination of therapy and education looks different for each student. For example, her 15-year-old student at LeafBridge, his James, sits next to an aide in a darkened classroom with soothing music. trajectory. "Meanwhile, in another room full of fall-themed activities, 8-year-old Cyrus rolls in the hay after correctly recognizing that 'H' is the first letter of the word, but he It took 2 seconds.
Outreach coordinator Carrie Brown noted that LeafBridge has a ton of what it calls "adaptive technology," from James' communication devices to an upright walker, to help students walk, talk and move around.
Shannon Carmont, the lead teaching assistant, helps James with his science class. His UCP's LeafBridge Education Services Alternative Program in Greater Cleveland provides one-on-one support to students.
LeafBridge is not the only educational option for students with disabilities in Cuyahoga County. Parma City School District has his ACES Academy focused on students with autism. The Cleveland Clinic has a Lerner School for Autism. Julie Billiart Schools is a Catholic kindergarten through her eighth grade school in northeastern Ohio that provides professional education for students with disabilities.
However, many of these programs focus specifically on students with autism. LeafBridge program associate her director, Amanda Stohrer, says her program is also unique in that it's slightly broader in scope.
"We are not the only program, but one of the only that caters to the very specific needs of children with complex disabilities," Stoller said.
Parent John Manning said even well-funded school districts like his in Chagrin Falls struggle to accommodate students with multiple disabilities.
"They have a pretty good special needs program, but it can't meet my daughter's needs," he explained.
Nate Stevenson, an associate professor of special education at Kent State University, said the law on educating students with disabilities requires that students be placed in the least restrictive environment possible. The least restrictive environments are typically traditional school environments with no student support, but educational centers like LeafBridge are in more restrictive environments.
He said there are costs and benefits to getting children involved in alternative education programs like LeafBridge.
""We're really happy to be able to provide these children with focused support in this exclusive environment," Stevenson said. do not want to spend their time in an exclusive environment."
The student's name hangs on a classroom cabinet in the elementary school of the Alternate Program at UCP's LeafBridge Education Services in Greater Cleveland.
According to a mid-2022 report from the Ohio Disability Education Coalition, research shows that students with disabilities studying alongside non-disabled students benefit both groups.
"…included students had better reading and math skills, had higher attendance, were less likely to have behavioral problems, and completed secondary school than non-inclusive students. likely to," the report said.
The decision to enroll a child with a disability in a vocational school such as LeafBridge is not an easy decision to make, according to Stevenson, after parents and school staff (members of the student's individualized education program team) analyze the pros and cons. says no.
If a student decides they should go to a special school, the school district may pay for it, which in the case of LeafBridge could be as high as $90,000 per student, says Beth Lucas, a cerebral palsy patient in Greater Cleveland. says Mr.
Lucas says some students will be able to return to the traditional school environment from the program after they have the tools they need to succeed. But not everyone can. LeafBridge also provides school districts with some assistance, such as sharing adaptive equipment and therapeutic services, to better accommodate students with disabilities attending public schools.
Lucas recognizes that Leafbridge students should be given more opportunities to socialize with their peers outside the program, but that has been difficult lately.
"The pandemic has set people with disabilities back because many of the people we serve are medically very vulnerable," Lucas said.
Lucas' organization recently received a $5 million grant to expand its services. Ultimately, we aim to build a new headquarters with easy access and dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces. This may give LeafBridge students more opportunities to meet students in more traditional classrooms.
Additionally, this expansion could mean more space for more learners, but the program currently has about five openings for new students.

Q: Exponential solutions to ODE How does it follow that $\frac{d^2\phi}{dx^2}=-\lambda\phi$ where our seperation constant $\lambda>0$ implies an exponential solution with imaginary exponents?  Specifically $e^{\pm\imath\sqrt[]{\lambda}}$.
Then somehow if we want real independent solutions the choices $\cos(x\sqrt[]{\lambda})$ and $\sin(x\sqrt[]{\lambda})$?  My text says $\cos(x\sqrt[]{\lambda})$ and $\sin(x\sqrt[]{\lambda})$ are linear combinations of $e^{\pm\imath\sqrt[]{\lambda}}$ but how?  Does it have something to do with $e^{\imath\pi}=-1$?

A: It should be $e^{\pm ix\sqrt {\lambda}}$ not $e^{\pm i\sqrt {\lambda}}$.
This  follows from the fact that $\sin a=\frac {e^{ia}-e^{-ia}} {2i}$ and $\cos a=\frac {e^{ia}+e^{-ia}} 2$.

Keke Palmer Dishes on New Music, Acting and Family
These days it's not enough to be great at acting or singing -- there are very few single-talent celebs. To be competitive in Hollywood, two or more talents are required. It's a fact. Back in the day, Brandy was more than a vocalist, and nowadays Keke Palmer, 17, is making it known that she is more than an actress. ESSENCE.com caught up with the bright and bubbly Palmer to chat about Nickelodeon's "Worldwide Day of Play," her budding new music career, and how she stays grounded in the midst of stardom. Here's what you had to say: Lynnette commented via Facebook: "I like her. She's talented, smart, beautiful, positive, and humble." Shawn wrote via Facebook: "She's such a beautiful young woman inside and out."

These days it's not enough to be great at acting or singing — there are very few single-talent celebs. To be competitive in Hollywood, two or more talents are required. It's a fact. Back in the day, Brandy was more than a vocalist, and nowadays Keke Palmer, 17, is making it known that she is more than an actress. ESSENCE.com caught up with the bright and bubbly Palmer to chat about Nickelodeon's "Worldwide Day of Play," her budding new music career, and how she stays grounded in the midst of stardom. ESSENCE.com: Saturday is Nickelodeon's "Worldwide Day of Play," and the network is shutting down for three hours to get away from their TVs. What do you and your family do to stay active? KEKE PALMER: We do a lot of stuff together. We were planning a trip to Indiana Beach. I used to go there with my family back before my little brothers and sisters were born. We used to go swimming and fishing and all that type of stuff. So, we do things as a unit, as a family to stay active. You know, going to the Rose Bowl, going to my little brother and sister's football games and cheerleading games. ESSENCE.com: What's the name of your new album and have you set a date? PALMER: No, no date yet. The single will probably drop next month. I'm in the studio with Rodney Jerkins right now, who is the executive producer of the album and we're getting ready to pick that single. We'll be giving it to y'all next month and the album will probably come out next year. I think the album will just be called "Keke Palmer." ESSENCE.com: "True Jackson VP" is a hit, what's next for you acting-wise? Are you planning to branch out into more movies? PALMER: Definitely, after "True Jackson VP." We'll find out if we're doing a third season in January. The show had me tied up so much that I haven't been able to do much of anything else. But before the show I did a lot of films, so I'm familiar with it. But I'm ready to go back. I've had a nice little break with the steady TV show but I'm definitely ready to do some more films again. I was just asked to join a new Marvel comic project called, "Runaways." ESSENCE.com: You're growing up in the public eye, how are you able to stay so grounded and out of trouble, unlike your celebrity peers? PALMER: I must admit it's my parents and the way that they raised me. They definitely make sure I don't even have a chance to get ahead of myself or do the wrong thing. They've instilled a lot great values. And I'm so family-oriented that I always want to make them proud. I would never want to do anything that would disappoint them at the end of the day. ESSENCE.com: Is college on your horizon? PALMER: Yes, I would love to go to Howard. I want to get a break because it's hard doing school and working at the same time. So I'm thinking within the next year or so, I'll go to a junior college then I'll go to my four year school, hopefully Howard.

Return Sydney season of Bran Nue Dae, latest production cancelled due to coronavirus crisis
The Indigenous musical Bran Nue Dae, currently on its 30th Anniversary national tour, is the latest production to have its Sydney season cancelled by Opera Australia because of the COVID-19 restrictions.
Scheduled for a return to Sydney as a co-presentation with Roslyn Packer Theatre, it was due to run from 17 April to 3 May after a successful run in Parramatta in the Sydney Festival and then at the Perth Festival earlier in the year.
The announcement follows the cancellation of the remainder of Opera Australia's Sydney Summer Season, the Melbourne Autumn Season and the hugely popular Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour.
Opera Australia CEO Rory Jeffes said this was a major disappointment for the Company and in particular the talented young cast of Bran Nue Dae who were keenly anticipating their debut on the Roslyn Packer Theatre stage.
"Thankfully this great young cast have already performed to enthusiastic audiences and rave reviews in Sydney and Perth, and we hope that the tour will resume once the COVID-19 crisis has passed."
"However we know this is still incredibly disappointing for the entire Bran Nue Dae Company and we will be working through all our options to ensure the well-being for all the cast, crew and creatives through this crisis.
"I'd like to reiterate our earlier request that patrons holding tickets for any of our shows that have cancelled to consider, where possible donating the value of the ticket back to the company or exchanging for a voucher for a future performance to help us navigate the uncharted economic waters that lie ahead," he said.
The Bran Nue Dae Tour will hopefully resume later in the year when it travels to Brisbane, Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra and Adelaide.


Monterey, California - The expanding use of technology by organic growers, regardless of the size of their operation, will be the topic of an educational session at the upcoming Organic Grower Summit. "Technology Is Not Just For Big Ag" will focus on making new technologies accessible for organic growers through a variety of business models aimed at making operations more efficient and sustainable.
The Organic Grower Summit, slated for December 12-13, in Monterey, CA will feature a series of intensive and educational sessions focused on organic growing. "Technology Is Not Just For Big Ag" will explain technology advances including asset sharing, robotics and one of the most talked about information systems, blockchain. Panelists for the session will discuss the issues associated with bringing technology to smaller organic growers and how the industry can work together to help these technologies take root and scale.
"Blockchain technology and secure data will enable organic growers to better engage with the consumers and environment to facilitate a more transparent and truth based system, opening new business opportunities for farmers and food value chain stakeholders," shared panelist Raja Ramachandran, CEO and co-Founder, Ripe.IO.
The Organic Grower Summit, a joint production between California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and Organic Produce Network (OPN), brings together organic growers, producers and processors for two days of education, information and networking opportunities with organic production supply chain and service providers.


The 2019 Sheehy Skeffington School will evoke the Democratic Programme adopted by the First Dail of 1919 and its commitments to social and economic reform, its focus on the well-being of the most vulnerable and the preparation of its people for active citizenship through education, training and economic development along progressive cooperative lines.
In this era of resource accumulation by elites, the conversion of wealth into political capital, the perilous state of the planet as a result of climate breakdown and the trumping by loutish rage of democratic decision-making, the 2019 Sheehy Skeffington School will focus on how the democratic model can be reconfigured in a way that protects democracy itself and safeguards and expands human rights.
Our keynote address will be delivered by Michael O'Flaherty, Director of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights with Susan McKay, Author and Journalist responding. Proceedings will be moderated by our long standing chair, Carol Coulter, Director of the Child Care Law Reporting Project.
This will be the last Sheehy Skeffington School and we hope that you can join us for what promises to be a stimulating and insightful evening.
After the School a reception will be held for all attending to mark our closing and to thank all our contributors and participants over the years.
The Sheehy Skeffington School and is named after the committed socialists and human rights activists Hanna and Frank Sheehy Skeffington. The school was formed in 2012 to provide a space for reflection on the formative years of the Irish revolutionary period. We are particularly conscious of the aspirations of the early revolutionaries; how they compare with the political, social and economic outcomes of the modern state and the importance of improving those outcomes to accord with fundamental human rights.

Q: How plot a 3-order tensor in MATLAB a = zeros(100,100,100);
distance = [1,21,41,61,81];
for d = 1:5
    for i=distance(d): distance(d)+19
        for j=distance(d): distance(d)+19
            for k=distance(d): distance(d)+19
                a(i,j,k) = 1;
            end
        end
    end
end

The tensor a with size (100,100,100) and all element dominate the diagonal.
How to visulize a it in MATLAB with zero is white color and one is black color.  I plot in MS office, this is what I want Expected image
For matrix case, we can visualize as follow
X = zeros(100,100);
distance = [1,21,41,61,81];
for d = 1:5
    for i=distance(d): distance(d)+19
        for j=distance(d): distance(d)+19
            X(i,j) = 1;
        end
    end
end

imagesc(a)
im = imagesc(1-X)
colormap(gray(256))

And the image is
2D matrix visulize
How to do a similar way for tensor?
And how to visulize tensor with noise? like noise on matrix

A: You can get pretty close to the plot produced in MS Office using isosurface and isocaps. AFAIK MATLAB doesn't have any built-in way of producing oblique projections, but if you're okay with an orthographic projection the following may work for you.
color = [0.2,0.2,0.2];
p1 = patch(isosurface(a), 'FaceColor', color, 'EdgeColor', 'none');
p2 = patch(isocaps(a), 'FaceColor', color, 'EdgeColor', 'none');

camlight left
camlight
lighting gouraud
isonormals(a, p1);

grid on;
view(3);
camorbit(-40,0);

A: I tried this with scatter3:
nonzeros = find(a);
[px,py,pz] = ind2sub(size(a),nonzeros);
scatter3(px,py,pz,'k','.');

Correlation of Survival and Progression-free Survival Endpoints in Clinical Trials
Survival analysis involves statistical assessment time to death or time to relapse. Clinical trials in cancer commonly have survival as an endpoint, and frequently have progression-free survival as a secondary endpoint.
Progression-free survival refers to patients whose cancer remits or who do not relapse after treatment. It is reasonable to assume that survival and progression-free survival should be correlated. When this correlate is established, accurate estimates about survival should be possible for patients who progress with their cancer.
This in turn can be used in the design of clinical trials, possibly lowering the number of patients required for a given trial.
Yimei Li, PhD, and researchers at the Center for Childhood Cancer Research are taking data available from other cancer clinical trials to construct a statistical model that quantifies correlations between the two endpoints. Using results from this statistical survival analysis, they're creating a model that can be used both for patient prognosis and clinical trial design.
Findings from these studies will be used to create a model that should become immediately available to researchers who are designing trials. Its application will also provide validation for the model as it starts to be used in clinical trial design more frequently.

The European Commission had released a proposal to deploy drones across the Mediterranean Sea to catch illegal immigrants. The surveillance effort is part of a $410 million package to bolster EU border security.
Dubbed EUROSUR, the project proposes the use of drones, high-resolution cameras, satellites and spy planes to detect migrant vessels at sea.
EUROSUR's stated aim is to reduce the number of migrants reaching the Schengen area undetected, preventing cross-border crime and reducing immigrant fatalities. The project has yet to be officially debated in the European Parliament and Council, but some proponents of the project are pushing for it to be implemented as early as next year.
One to three million people immigrate to EU annually, and last year's uprisings in North Africa increased the flow of immigrants to EU, with thousands attempting to cross the region's borders. The Mediterranean is one of the central hubs for illegal immigration: Europa Press reported that 1,037 migrants on board 44 boats have been detected arriving on the Andalusian coast from 1 January 2012 to 9 July 2012 alone. With this influx in immigration, death rates have also spiked.
The UN Refugee Agency recently reported that 1500 people "drowned or went missing last year  while attempting crossings of the Mediterranean Sea." This year's death toll has already reached 170. Earlier this month, an inflatable boat miles off the Italian coast sunk killing 54 Eritreans fleeing their country. In May, 20 were presumed dead when a small boat sank after striking a coral reef just off the French island of Mayotte.
The proposal assures that it will save migrants' lives by detecting them at sea. "EUROSUR will help detect and fight criminal networks' activities and be a crucial tool for saving migrants who put their lives at risk trying to reach EU shores," said Cecilia Malmström, the EU's Commissioner for Home Affairs.
However, many academics and thinktanks fear this unprecedented increase in surveillance and collection of personal data, and the murky potential uses of the gathered intel.
The European Commission assures that there is no chance for abuse with EUROSUR. "The situational pictures will, as a general rule, not involve personal data but rather the exchange of information on incidents and depersonalized objects, such as the detection and tracking of vessels," the Commission's proposal states.
Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether this data will be stored indefinitely or deleted after a set period of time. Another concern with EUROSUR is that it will enable authorities to spot immigrants' preparatory activities on the ground, such as a gathering of vehicles or boats on African beaches.
Critics of the plan argue that EUROSUR is a preemptive measure designed to solve the problem of illegal immigration before it reaches EU shores, rather than lowering death rates and providing humanitarian assistance.
One possible unintended consequence of EUROSUR is that some refugees seeking asylum from their native countries could be prevented from reaching the EU.
