Should soda and fast-food companies sponsor the Olympics?
On the eve of the Olympics, The Lancet has published a special issue on physical activity.
Since this is too small to read:
Physical activity:
Worldwide, we estimated that physical inactivity causes 6-10% of the major non-communicable diseases…physical inactivity seems to have an effect similar to that of smoking or obesity.
The issue is packed with carefully researched commentaries and papers on the benefits of physical activity.
But it starts out with a tough editorial, Chariots of Fries:
The Games should encourage physical activity, promote healthy living, and inspire the next generation to exercise. However, marring this healthy vision has been the choice of junk food and drink giants—McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and Cadbury's—as major sponsors of the event
Health campaigners have rightly been dismayed. On June 20, the London Assembly (an elected body that scrutinises the work of the Mayor of London) passed a motion urging the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to adopt strict sponsorship criteria that exclude food and drinks companies strongly associated with high calorie brands and products linked to childhood obesity.
Meanwhile, the UK's Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has said that the presence of McDonald's and Coca-Cola at the 2012 Games sends out the wrong message to children.
This morning, I received an e-mail from the Coca-Cola Civic Action Network (CAN), described on its website as
a non-partisan group whose purpose is to provide information to the Coca-Cola family about national, state, and local issues that could affect us. Whenever an issue comes up that could change our day-to-day lives, CAN goes to work getting important information to its members.
The message lists Coca-Cola's Olympic actions:
Olympic Torch Relay
Integrated Marketing Campaign, Move to the Beat
Global Anthem, Documentary & Global TV Commercial
Coca-Cola Presents, Beat TV
Digital & Mobile Application
Games-time Refreshment
Powerade Sports Academy
Physical Activity Programs
Legacy in sustainability
The e-mail says:
Coca-Cola will be refreshing and hydrating the 14,000 athletes, 7,000 officials, 20,000 workers and volunteers and more than 6 million spectators that are expected to flock to the Olympic Park. From one product in one size offered at the 1948 Olympic Games, to today's more than 500 brands at the London 2012 Games, Coca-Cola will provide the widest range of drinks and sizes ever offered at an Olympic or Paralympic Games, to suit every lifestyle and hydration need.
Should soda and fast-food companies be sponsoring the Olympics? Is this the message we want sent to kids? I don't think so. You?

Challenges in Microwave Surface Emissivity Estimation
Events > Webinar > Challenges in Microwave Surface Emissivity Estimation
Webinar Speaker: Catherine Prigent, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Paris Observatory
11:00 A.M. Eastern Time (ET)
Sponsored by GRSS
MIRS - TC Webinar
Dr. Catherine Prigent
About the Webinar
Satellite passive microwave observations are widely used to characterize the Earth atmosphere (e.g., temperature and humidity profiles, precipitation) or the Earth surface (e.g., ocean surface temperature or wind speed, soil moisture, sea ice concentration). The contribution from the Earth surface is considered as a source of noise in the first case and as the source of information in the second case, but for both applications an accurate estimation of the surface emissivity is required to exploit the signal. With an increasing use of the microwaves in the coming years for meteorological and climatological applications, from ~1 to ~700 GHz (from CIMR to ICI), robust and consistent understanding and quantification of the surface emission have to be established, including all types of environments (ocean, ice and snow, arid and vegetated surfaces).
Different methodologies have been developed to estimate the surface emissivity, from fully physical models to satellite-derived atlases, depending on the surface types, along with their associated uncertainties. A possible parameterization of the emissivity, driven by physical understanding and anchored to satellite observations, will be discussed. Different issues will be mentioned, including the foam impact over ocean at high wind speeds, the snow effect over sea ice, the sub-surface contributions in arid regions, or the diurnal variations of the emissivity in the vegetation.
Catherine Prigent (Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in physics from Paris University, Paris, France, in 1988.,Since 1990, she has been a Researcher with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris Observatory, Paris. From 1995 to 2000, she was on leave from the CNRS and she worked at NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Columbia University, New York, NY, USA. She is the Co-Founder of Estellus, Paris, a small company specialized in satellite Earth observations. Her research covers satellite microwave remote sensing of the Earth, for both surface and atmosphere characterization for global applications. It includes RT modeling work (e.g., microwave ocean surface emissivity), retrieval of key surface variables (e.g., microwave land surface temperature, surface water extent, and ocean ice concentration), or the development of cloud estimates from millimeter waves. She is involved in the preparation of several satellite instruments, with ESA, EUMETSAT, and CNES (e.g., MWI and ICI onboard MetOp-SG, the Copernicus CIMR mission, and SWOT).

Q: add & remove event listener with function bound to outer scope got a tricky problem. I want to make use of addEventListener and removeEventListener, with a registered non-anonymous function. I don't want to use anonymous functions, because I want to explicitely destroy the event listener I have registered in the first place:
window.addEventListener('keyup', myFunction, false);
window.removeEventListener('keyup', myFunction, false);

Works like a charm, but here comes the problem:
I'm inside of a class and inside of myFunction I'd like to call class members and some class methods, usually bound to this, but hey - inside of the addEventListener-method, this is bound to window. Every attempt, to bind the class-this to the function (e.g. myFunction.bind(this) etc.) was not successfull. So how can I access the class scope?
class myClass {
   myMethod(args) {
     console.log('you got them superior coding skillz');
   }

   myCallback(e) {
      var key = e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which;
      if(key ===  27) {
        this.myMethod(args);
      }
   }

   listeners(addListener) {
      if(addListener === true) {
         window.addEventListener('keyup', this.myCallback, false);
      }
      else {
         window.removeEventListener('keyup', this.myCallback, false);
      }
   }
}

Thank you guys for your help! Very much appreciated.

A: It should looks like this:
window.addEventListener('keyup', this.myCallback.bind(this), false)

'Elementary' Heading Overseas for Season 2 Premiere
Will they or won't they? When it comes to romancing Watson (co-star Liu), Jonny Lee Miller's character won't.
CBS announces that the Jonny Lee Miller drama will film on-location in London, moving the production out of New York for the first time.
CBS' Elementary is heading to the U.K.
The one-hour drama, toplined by Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson, will go across the Atlantic to film in London for the second season premiere, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
This would mark the first time Elementary will shoot outside of New York, where the show is based and set. Filming will take place in July.

In the season-two premiere, Sherlock Holmes is called to London to revisit an old case and is forced to face his past. Meanwhile, Watson learns more about Holmes' mysterious life and the company he kept prior to leaving for New York.
"We couldn't be more excited to have this opportunity to see Sherlock's old stomping grounds and take a closer look at a life that, until now, we've only been able to glimpse through the lens of his recovery," said creator Robert Doherty. "By meeting old friends and revisiting prior cases, Watson will gain even more insight into Holmes. She'll have to keep up with a Sherlock who is both more comfortable in his surroundings and even bolder in testing the limits of those around him."
STORY: 'Elementary' Casts 'Game of Thrones' Actress as Irene Adler
Elementary has averaged nearly 13 million viewers weekly and posts a 3.0 rating among the ad-coveted adults 18-49 demo and a 4.1 among adults 25-54. Internationally, the show is No. 1 on U.K.'s Sky Living, Australia's Network Ten, among the top five U.S. series in Germany and Italy, and is a top five show on Canada's Global.
In March, CBS rewarded Elementary with an early renewal, along with a slew of other shows.
Elementary airs its two-hour finale at 9 p.m. May 16 on CBS.

"Class system" redirects here. For the role-playing game concept, see Character class.

A social class is a set of subjectively defined concepts in the social sciences and political theory centered on models of social stratification in which people are grouped into a set of hierarchical social categories,[1] the most common being the upper, middle and lower classes.
"Class" is a subject of analysis for sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and social historians. However, there is not a consensus on a definition of "class" and the term has a wide range of sometimes conflicting meanings. In common parlance, the term "social class" is usually synonymous with "socio-economic class", defined as "people having the same social, economic, cultural, political or educational status", e.g., "the working class"; "an emerging professional class".[2] However, academics distinguish social class and socioeconomic status, with the former referring to one's relatively stable sociocultural background and the latter referring to one's current social and economic situation and consequently being more changeable over time.[3]
The precise measurements of what determines social class in society has varied over time. Karl Marx thought "class" was defined by one's relationship to the means of production (their relations of production). His simple understanding of classes in modern capitalist society are the proletariat, those who work but do not own the means of production; and the bourgeoisie, those who invest and live off the surplus generated by the proletariat's operation of the means of production. This contrasts with the view of the sociologist Max Weber, who argued "class" is determined by economic position, in contrast to "social status" or "Stand" which is determined by social prestige rather than simply just relations of production.[4] The term "class" is etymologically derived from the Latin classis, which was used by census takers to categorize citizens by wealth in order to determine military service obligations.[5]
In the late 18th century, the term "class" began to replace classifications such as estates, rank and orders as the primary means of organizing society into hierarchical divisions. This corresponded to a general decrease in significance ascribed to hereditary characteristics and increase in the significance of wealth and income as indicators of position in the social hierarchy.[6][7]

Burmese nobles and servants
Historically, social class and behavior were laid down in law. For example, permitted mode of dress in sometimes and places was strictly regulated, with sumptuous dressing only for the high ranks of society and aristocracy, whereas sumptuary laws stipulated the dress and jewelry appropriate for a person's social rank and station. In Europe, these laws became increasingly commonplace during the Middle Ages. However, these laws were prone to change due to societal changes, and in many cases these distinctions may either almost disappear, such as the distinction between a patrician and a plebeian being almost erased during the late roman republic.
Theoretical modelsEdit
Definitions of social classes reflect a number of sociological perspectives, informed by anthropology, economics, psychology and sociology. The major perspectives historically have been Marxism and structural functionalism. The common stratum model of class divides society into a simple hierarchy of working class, middle class and upper class. Within academia, two broad schools of definitions emerge: those aligned with 20th-century sociological stratum models of class society and those aligned with the 19th-century historical materialist economic models of the Marxists and anarchists.[8][9][10]
Another distinction can be drawn between analytical concepts of social class, such as the Marxist and Weberian traditions, as well as the more empirical traditions such as socio-economic status approach, which notes the correlation of income, education and wealth with social outcomes without necessarily implying a particular theory of social structure.[11]
MarxistEdit
Main article: Class in Marxist theory
"[Classes are] large groups of people differing from each other by the place they occupy in a historically determined system of social production, by their relation (in most cases fixed and formulated in law) to the means of production, by their role in the social organization of labor, and, consequently, by the dimensions of the share of social wealth of which they dispose and the mode of acquiring it."
—Vladimir Lenin, A Great Beginning on June 1919
For Marx, class is a combination of objective and subjective factors. Objectively, a class shares a common relationship to the means of production. Subjectively, the members will necessarily have some perception ("class consciousness") of their similarity and common interest. Class consciousness is not simply an awareness of one's own class interest but is also a set of shared views regarding how society should be organized legally, culturally, socially and politically. These class relations are reproduced through time.
In Marxist theory, the class structure of the capitalist mode of production is characterized by the conflict between two main classes: the bourgeoisie, the capitalists who own the means of production and the much larger proletariat (or "working class") who must sell their own labour power (wage labour). This is the fundamental economic structure of work and property, a state of inequality that is normalized and reproduced through cultural ideology.
Marxists explain the history of "civilized" societies in terms of a war of classes between those who control production and those who produce the goods or services in society. In the Marxist view of capitalism, this is a conflict between capitalists (bourgeoisie) and wage-workers (the proletariat). For Marxists, class antagonism is rooted in the situation that control over social production necessarily entails control over the class which produces goods—in capitalism this is the exploitation of workers by the bourgeoisie.[12]
Furthermore, "in countries where modern civilisation has become fully developed, a new class of petty bourgeois has been formed".[13] "An industrial army of workmen, under the command of a capitalist, requires, like a real army, officers (managers) and sergeants (foremen, over-lookers) who, while the work is being done, command in the name of the capitalist".[14]
Marx makes the argument that, as the bourgeoisie reach a point of wealth accumulation, they hold enough power as the dominant class to shape political institutions and society according to their own interests. Marx then goes on to claim that the non-elite class, owing to their large numbers, have the power to overthrow the elite and create an equal society.[15]
In The Communist Manifesto, Marx himself argued that it was the goal of the proletariat itself to displace the capitalist system with socialism, changing the social relationships underpinning the class system and then developing into a future communist society in which: "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all". This would mark the beginning of a classless society in which human needs rather than profit would be motive for production. In a society with democratic control and production for use, there would be no class, no state and no need for financial and banking institutions and money.[16][17]
WeberianEdit
Main article: Three-component theory of stratification
Max Weber formulated a three-component theory of stratification that saw social class as emerging from an interplay between "class", "status" and "power". Weber believed that class position was determined by a person's relationship to the means of production, while status or "Stand" emerged from estimations of honor or prestige.[18]
Weber derived many of his key concepts on social stratification by examining the social structure of many countries. He noted that contrary to Marx's theories, stratification was based on more than simply ownership of capital. Weber pointed out that some members of the aristocracy lack economic wealth yet might nevertheless have political power. Likewise in Europe, many wealthy Jewish families lacked prestige and honor because they were considered members of a "pariah group".
Class: A person's economic position in a society. Weber differs from Marx in that he does not see this as the supreme factor in stratification. Weber noted how managers of corporations or industries control firms they do not own.
Status: A person's prestige, social honor or popularity in a society. Weber noted that political power was not rooted in capital value solely, but also in one's status. Poets and saints, for example, can possess immense influence on society with often little economic worth.
Power: A person's ability to get their way despite the resistance of others. For example, individuals in state jobs, such as an employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or a member of the United States Congress, may hold little property or status, but they still hold immense power.
Great British Class SurveyEdit
Main article: Great British Class Survey
On April 2, 2013, the results of a survey[19] conducted by BBC Lab UK developed in collaboration with academic experts and slated to be published in the journal Sociology were published online.[20][21][22][23][24] The results released were based on a survey of 160,000 residents of the United Kingdom most of whom lived in England and described themselves as "white". Class was defined and measured according to the amount and kind of economic, cultural and social resources reported. Economic capital was defined as income and assets; cultural capital as amount and type of cultural interests and activities; and social capital as the quantity and social status of their friends, family and personal and business contacts.[23] This theoretical framework was developed by Pierre Bourdieu who first published his theory of social distinction in 1979.
Common three-stratum modelEdit
Today, concepts of social class often assume three general categories: a very wealthy and powerful upper class that owns and controls the means of production; a middle class of professional workers, small business owners and low-level managers; and a lower class, who rely on low-paying wage jobs for their livelihood and often experience poverty.
Upper classEdit
Main article: Upper class
See also: Elite, Aristocracy, Oligarchy, and Ruling class
A symbolic image of three orders of feudal society in Europe prior to the French Revolution, which shows the rural third estate carrying the clergy and the nobility
The upper class[25] is the social class composed of those who are rich, well-born, powerful, or a combination of those. They usually wield the greatest political power. In some countries, wealth alone is sufficient to allow entry into the upper class. In others, only people who are born or marry into certain aristocratic bloodlines are considered members of the upper class and those who gain great wealth through commercial activity are looked down upon by the aristocracy as nouveau riche.[26] In the United Kingdom, for example, the upper classes are the aristocracy and royalty, with wealth playing a less important role in class status. Many aristocratic peerages or titles have seats attached to them, with the holder of the title (e.g. Earl of Bristol) and his family being the custodians of the house, but not the owners. Many of these require high expenditures, so wealth is typically needed. Many aristocratic peerages and their homes are parts of estates, owned and run by the title holder with moneys generated by the land, rents or other sources of wealth. However, in the United States where there is no aristocracy or royalty, the upper class status belongs to the extremely wealthy, the so-called "super-rich", though there is some tendency even in the United States for those with old family wealth to look down on those who have earned their money in business, the struggle between New Money and Old Money.
The upper class is generally contained within the richest one or two percent of the population. Members of the upper class are often born into it and are distinguished by immense wealth which is passed from generation to generation in the form of estates.[27]
Middle classEdit
Main articles: Middle class, Upper middle class, Lower middle class, and Bourgeoisie
The middle class is the most contested of the three categories, the broad group of people in contemporary society who fall socio-economically between the lower and upper classes.[28] One example of the contest of this term is that in the United States "middle class" is applied very broadly and includes people who would elsewhere be considered working class. Middle-class workers are sometimes called "white-collar workers".
Theorists such as Ralf Dahrendorf have noted the tendency toward an enlarged middle class in modern Western societies, particularly in relation to the necessity of an educated work force in technological economies.[29] Perspectives concerning globalization and neocolonialism, such as dependency theory, suggest this is due to the shift of low-level labour to developing nations and the Third World.[30]
Lower classEdit
In the United States the lowest stratum of the working class, the underclass, often lives in urban areas with low-quality civil services
Main articles: Working class and Proletariat
See also: Precarity
Lower class (occasionally described as working class) are those employed in low-paying wage jobs with very little economic security. The term "lower class" also refers to persons with low income.
The working class is sometimes separated into those who are employed but lacking financial security (the "working poor") and an underclass—those who are long-term unemployed and/or homeless, especially those receiving welfare from the state. The latter is analogous to the Marxist term "lumpenproletariat".[25] Members of the working class are sometimes called blue-collar workers.
Consequences of class positionEdit
A person's socioeconomic class has wide-ranging effects. It can impact the schools they are able to attend, their health, the jobs open to them, who they may marry and their treatment by police and the courts.[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]
Angus Deaton and Anne Case have analyzed the mortality rates related to the group of white, middle-aged Americans between the ages of 45 and 54 and its relation to class. There has been a growing number of suicides and deaths by substance abuse in this particular group of middle-class Americans. This group also has been recorded to have an increase in reports of chronic pain and poor general health. Deaton and Case came to the conclusion from these observations that because of the constant stress that these white, middle aged Americans feel fighting poverty and wavering between the middle and lower classes, these strains have taken a toll on these people and affected their whole bodies.[39]
Social classifications can also determine the sporting activities that such classes take part in. It is suggested that those of an upper social class are more likely to take part in sporting activities, whereas those of a lower social background are less likely to participate in sport. However, upper-class people tend to not take part in certain sports that have been commonly known to be linked with the lower class.[40]
EducationEdit
A person's social class has a significant impact on their educational opportunities. Not only are upper-class parents able to send their children to exclusive schools that are perceived to be better, but in many places state-supported schools for children of the upper class are of a much higher quality than those the state provides for children of the lower classes.[41][42][43][44][45][46] This lack of good schools is one factor that perpetuates the class divide across generations.
In 1977, British cultural theorist Paul Willis published a study titled "Learning to Labour" in which he investigated the connection between social class and education. In his study, he found that a group of working-class schoolchildren had developed an antipathy towards the acquisition of knowledge as being outside their class and therefore undesirable, perpetuating their presence in the working class.[47]
Health and nutritionEdit
Main article: Social determinants of health
A person's social class has a significant impact on their physical health, their ability to receive adequate medical care and nutrition and their life expectancy.[48][49][50]
Lower-class people experience a wide array of health problems as a result of their economic status. They are unable to use health care as often and when they do it is of lower quality, even though they generally tend to experience a much higher rate of health issues. Lower-class families have higher rates of infant mortality, cancer, cardiovascular disease and disabling physical injuries. Additionally, poor people tend to work in much more hazardous conditions, yet generally have much less (if any) health insurance provided for them, as compared to middle- and upper-class workers.[51]
The conditions at a person's job vary greatly depending on class. Those in the upper-middle class and middle class enjoy greater freedoms in their occupations. They are usually more respected, enjoy more diversity and are able to exhibit some authority.[52] Those in lower classes tend to feel more alienated and have lower work satisfaction overall. The physical conditions of the workplace differ greatly between classes. While middle-class workers may "suffer alienating conditions" or "lack of job satisfaction", blue-collar workers are more apt to suffer alienating, often routine, work with obvious physical health hazards, injury and even death.[53]
A recent United Kingdom government study has suggested that a "glass floor" exists in British society which prevents those who are less able, but who come from wealthier backgrounds, from slipping down the social ladder. This is due to the fact that those from wealthier backgrounds have more opportunities available to them. In fact, the article shows that less able, better-off kids are 35% more likely to become high earners than bright poor kids.[54]
Class conflictEdit
Main article: Class conflict
Class conflict, frequently referred to as "class warfare" or "class struggle", is the tension or antagonism which exists in society due to competing socioeconomic interests and desires between people of different classes.
For Marx, the history of class society was a history of class conflict. He pointed to the successful rise of the bourgeoisie and the necessity of revolutionary violence—a heightened form of class conflict—in securing the bourgeoisie rights that supported the capitalist economy.
Marx believed that the exploitation and poverty inherent in capitalism were a pre-existing form of class conflict. Marx believed that wage labourers would need to revolt to bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth and political power.[55][56]
Classless societyEdit
Main article: Classless society
"Classless society" refers to a society in which no one is born into a social class. Distinctions of wealth, income, education, culture or social network might arise and would only be determined by individual experience and achievement in such a society.
Since these distinctions are difficult to avoid, advocates of a classless society (such as anarchists and communists) propose various means to achieve and maintain it and attach varying degrees of importance to it as an end in their overall programs/philosophy.
Relationship between ethnicity and classEdit
Further information: Racial inequality

Race and other large-scale groupings can also influence class standing. The association of particular ethnic groups with class statuses is common in many societies. As a result of conquest or internal ethnic differentiation, a ruling class is often ethnically homogenous and particular races or ethnic groups in some societies are legally or customarily restricted to occupying particular class positions. Which ethnicities are considered as belonging to high or low classes varies from society to society.
In modern societies, strict legal links between ethnicity and class have been drawn, such as in apartheid, the caste system in Africa, the position of the Burakumin in Japanese society and the casta system in Latin America.[citation needed]

"We continue to support the underwriting and face-to-face negotiation that makes Lloyd's unique," said a holographic representation of Lloyd's director of market operations Sue Lawley as she announced that three Lloyd's brokers are to switch from slip cases filled with traditional paper slips to iPads.
Whether iPads bounce as well off City pavements as slip cases, or stay put on the bars of EC3 watering holes, has yet to be established.
Dedicated, enhance, forward, thinking, utilising, interaction, initiative, delighted, technologies, engage, market, Lloyd's and underwriters were amongst the words chosen by Rex Harrison chief exec Paul Bridgwater to express his firm's enthusiasm for the pilot.

"We need to make sure she gets married earlier on before her beauty fades." My grandpa spoke in our language to my parents on a car ride home from Atlantic City. It seemed fitting that I was sitting in the back of the car for it seemed as though I was in the backseat of the conversation they were having as well, even though it was about me.
This is one of the many instances where I felt that my life was being groomed to correspond to the values of other people. Everything from the way I would dress and behave was (and to be quite honest, still is) scrutinized. I was always told to consider the opinions of others and mold my lifestyle according to that. If that was not enough pressure, it seemed the smallest of actions and decisions I took would somehow influence the kind of woman I would grow up to be.
Never have I ever felt as though a cup of chai or the way in which I would wash dishes would determine my future family life so much. Why is it marriage and raising a family is the endgame for girls in so many South Asian communities? If you are "too chubby" and can't cook, you will apparently never find a man and if you wish to further in your education and think of your career, you are supposedly too selfish and stubborn for your own good. And let's say you have checked all the boxes in said categories, the rest of your life is then supposed to be dedicated to your partner and your children! Not to say being a caring mother and wife is a bad thing, but seldom is this woman to regard her own hopes and dreams.
All of this being said, here are a PSA/few words of encouragement for any onlooking judgmental aunties or women that are hesitant about making any major life decisions: you are allowed to prioritize your own well-being, in fact, it is your right! Deciding to pursue a career in a field that may not be "ideal" or "practical" in the eyes of the people around you is your prerogative! If it is something that truly makes your heart soar, why the hell not take that decision to take that promotion or stay single or eat another cookie or (insert whatever you are contemplating here).
If anything, would you not be setting an example for your future children to in turn follow their dreams and live their life to the fullest? And if these actions would aid in helping you become the best and happiest version of yourself, then wouldn't that attract the right people and potential partner in your life to gravitate towards you?
But oh Lord, what are we to tell all the aunties that are criticizing us Anisha, you may ask. Well, if you feel so bold, you look them right in the eye and say, "Aunty, I am so sorry that you have felt so judged and pressured to maintain the life you lead to please others that you feel the need to judge me until I follow that sad life as well. I hope you find something in the coming days to do that brings you joy other than gossiping about others." That'll show them, beta.
I understand that for some of you, it may not be so simple to separate who you have been told to be and who you truly are and that you may have a lot at stake. Maybe, you feel like it is too late for you or that what you wish to attain is too far out of reach. But ask yourself, what are you losing if you don't take a chance on yourself?
You owe it to yourself to feed your soul and uncover more about who you are underneath all that you were reinforced to be. If not for the self-discovery aspect, then simply for the sake of your mental health! You deserve to be happy and to look back on your life when you are aged to be beautifully old and grey to not feel full of "what ifs" and regrets. You are worthy and enough and I encourage you to take a leap (or just a baby step if you are feeling really anxious) of faith. I believe in you and I hope you begin to start believing in yourself.

I've probably owned north of 100 film cameras just in the last ten years, and the Olympus IS-30 DLX is one of, if not thee best 35mm film camera bargain out there. This camera goes for an astonishingly low price on ebay, and picking up a decent working model will set you back about the same as a burger and fries at McDonald's.
The Olympus IS-30 has an excellent 28-110mm fixed zoom lens, along with all the conveniences and necessities that we demand today for our expensive digital cameras; such as predictive AF, TTL phase-difference detection system; TTL light metering and fuzzy logic ESP metering for back-lit scenes and ±2ev exposure compensation. Also included are; auto advance, rewind and loading; powerful flash with high speed sync; aperture priority mode and a whole lot more.
Today's review camera is the Ricoh FF-3D AF Super; did you instantly guess it's from the 1980s? It has that quintessential 1980s point and shoot 35mm camera look, especially with a silver finish and Pontiac dashboard inspired rear LCD panel.
Although the Ricoh FF-3D AF Super is a rather typical fully automatic point and shoot camera of the day, there are a couple of nice features to point out; such as the very bright flash, a manual ISO dial, (which doubles as an exposure compensation option), and a super sharp five element lens.
Welcome to a very early look at the upscale Crocker Highlands development, just east of Oakland, California. High Society folks living here now describe the development as 'a neighborhood that overflows with an abundance of character and charm, and exhibits a genteel ambiance of an old Hollywood movie set.' Crocker Highlands offers elegant examples of Tudor, Spanish, Arts and Crafts, Beaux Arts, and Art Deco period homes.
Our review camera for today is the compact Minolta Freedom III; featuring a quartz date back, AF, auto loading, advance and rewind; along with a nice 35mm F/2.8 lens. The 'Freedom' line from Minolta were wildly popular during the 1980s, and competed with the similar Canon and Nikon offerings of the day. This camera came out in 1986 along with three other 'Freedom' models; see a goofy wild west themed period ad here.

Apple unveils A14 Bionic processor with 40% faster CPU and 11.8 billion transistors
Apple today unveiled its new A14 Bionic processor with the aim of pushing ahead of other smartphone and tablet vendors on computing power and artificial intelligence processing. The new $600 iPad Air will use the ARM-based processor.
The new chip has 11.8 billion transistors and a 40% faster central processing unit (CPU). It also has 30% faster graphics and is made with a 5-nanometer manufacturing process, which is believed to be from chip contract manufacturer TSMC. The 5-nanometer measure refers to the width between circuits on the chip. That width is five billionths of a meter. The top smartphones on the market use 7-nanometer chips today. A smaller width is better because it enables the chips to be smaller, faster, and cheaper.
Apple made the announcement during its virtual event today. The chip has a 16-core neural engine that can execute 11 trillion AI operations per second. The neural engine core count is twice the previous chip, and can perform machine learning computations 10 times faster. The A14 has six CPU cores and four graphics processing unit (GPU) cores.
"The A14 Bionic chip definitely pushed the boundaries," Kevin Krewell, an analyst at Tirias Research, said in an email to VentureBeat. "It uses a 5-nanometer process which is the first high volume 5-nanometer processor for mobile. The emphasis on machine learning with both the neural engine and the CPU ML acceleration shows Apple is on the leading edge of AI for personal computing."
The machine learning tech can be used to improve photo resolution. The previous iPad Air used the A12 processor from two generations ago. The new tech enables a 7-megapixel camera with smart HDR, improved low-light performance, and 1080p video capture at 60 frames per second. The back camera has 12 megapixels and support for 4K at 60 frames per second. Battery life is about 10 hours.
The previous 7-nanometer A13 chip had 8.5 billion transistors, while the A12 had 6.9 billion and the A11 had 4.3 billion. Over time, Apple has been improving the AI performance of the chips with its neural engines and ML accelerators.
Apple is in the midst of shifting its Mac product line from Intel chips to its own internally designed processors based on the ARM architecture. That move will give Apple more control over its processor destiny and allow it to keep more profits that otherwise went to Intel. But the weekend news that Nvidia will buy Arm for $40 billion raises a question for Apple. Nvidia has pledged to openly license the ARM processor architecture to anyone who wants it, and I would expect Apple to continue doing so.

Q: Compute with data.table: how many 2x2 non NA values there are among the variables? Let's say I have this data.table (actual data is 25061 x 5862):
require(data.table)
df
  # gene     P1     P2     P3     P4     P5
 # 1: gene1  0.111  0.319  0.151     NA -0.397
 # 2: gene10  1.627  2.252  1.462 -1.339 -0.644
 # 3: gene2 -1.766 -0.056 -0.369  1.910  0.981
 # 4: gene3 -1.346  1.283  0.322 -0.465  0.403
 # 5: gene4 -0.783     NA -0.005  1.761  0.066
 # 6: gene5  0.386 -0.309 -0.886 -0.072  0.161
 # 7: gene6  0.547 -0.144 -0.725 -0.133  1.059
 # 8: gene7  0.785 -1.827  0.986  1.555 -0.798
 # 9: gene8 -0.186     NA  0.401  0.900 -1.075
# 10: gene9 -0.177  1.497 -1.370 -1.628 -1.044

I'd like to know how, making advantage of the data.table structure, I can efficiently compute, for each pair of gene values, how many couples there are with no NA. For example, for the pair gene1, gene2, I'd like the result to be 4.
With base R, I do it this way:
calc_nonNA <- !is.na(df[, -1, with=F])
Effectifs <- calc_nonNA %*% t(calc_nonNA)
# or, as suggested by @DavidArenburg and @Khashaa, more efficiently:
Effectifs <- tcrossprod(calc_nonNA)

But, with a large df, it takes hours...
My desired output, with the provided example is this:
       gene1 gene10 gene2 gene3 gene4 gene5 gene6 gene7 gene8 gene9
gene1      4      4     4     4     3     4     4     4     3     4
gene10     4      5     5     5     4     5     5     5     4     5
gene2      4      5     5     5     4     5     5     5     4     5
gene3      4      5     5     5     4     5     5     5     4     5
gene4      3      4     4     4     4     4     4     4     4     4
gene5      4      5     5     5     4     5     5     5     4     5
gene6      4      5     5     5     4     5     5     5     4     5
gene7      4      5     5     5     4     5     5     5     4     5
gene8      3      4     4     4     4     4     4     4     4     4

data
df <- structure(list(gene = c("gene1", "gene10", "gene2", "gene3",

), row.names = c(NA, -10L), .internal.selfref = <pointer: 0x022524a0>)

A: Using dplyr, transform data wide to long, then join to itself and summarise. Not sure if it is more efficient than your solution, some benchmarking anyone?
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)

# reshaping from wide to long
x <- df %>% gather(key = P, value = value, -c(1)) %>%
  mutate(value=(!is.na(value)))

# result
left_join(x,x,by="P") %>%
  group_by(gene.x,gene.y) %>%
  summarise(N=sum(value.x & value.y)) %>%
  spread(gene.y,N)

EDIT:
Shame, this dplyr solution fails for bigger dataset 2600x600, can't join to itself - internal vecseq reached physical limit, about 2^31 rows...
By the way, here is benchmark for t vs tcrossprod:
library(ggplot2)
library(microbenchmark)

op <- microbenchmark(
  BASE_t={
    calc_nonNA <- !is.na(df[, -1, with=F])
    calc_nonNA %*% t(calc_nonNA)
    },
  BASE_tcrossprod={
    calc_nonNA <- !is.na(df[, -1, with=F])
    tcrossprod(calc_nonNA)
  },
  times=10
  )

qplot(y=time, data=op, colour=expr) + scale_y_log10()

A: I tried this out with random data of 25061x5862 and it quickly chewed up 50gb of ram (including swap space) and, as such, is way way way less memory efficient than using tcrossprod but if you have an obscene amount of memory then maybe (but probably not) this could be faster.

MONOI has a privileged role in the Polynesian culture, rich in traditions. Indeed, its use dates back to the mists of time. It is associated with ancient rites and traditional pharmacopoeia: it is used in many curative preparations for diseases ranging from a mere cold to liver cancer. However, its first use until today indisputably remains cosmetology. The first navigators were already amazed at the wonderful hair and the satin-smooth skin of the Polynesian women. Without knowing it yet, they were praising the cosmetic virtues of MONOI. Thanks to its moisturizing proprieties, MONOI made the skin softer and naturally protected it from the harmful effects of the sun and the sea-salt. It was also the miracle-product which Polynesian women used to care for their legendary hair.
MONOI is a 100% natural product. In " reo ma'ohi " (the Tahitian language) MONOI means perfumed oil. It has been used since the mists of time by Polynesians for its moisturizing virtues as well as in traditional pharmacopoeia. No other product can boast 2,000 years of successful individual testing. It is specific to French Polynesia because it is made from 'tiare' flowers (Gardenia tahitensis) that are soaked in copra oil, two emblematic symbols of our Territory.
The most remarkable and famous application remains the use of tiare flowers in the making of MONOI. Only the result of tiare soaking in coconut oil can be called MONOI.
The tiare flower (Gardenia tahitensis), from the Rubiaceae family, is Tahiti's national flower. That variety, which is adapted to the Polynesian soils, grows everywhere in French Polynesia and blossoms all year long. The air is full with the sweet-smelling fragrance of this small white flower that grows on small 3-foot tall bushes.
This flower is native to the Pacific Region and requires the action of men for its asexual reproduction, which therefore is achieved without seeds. The tiare bushes grow best on soils of coral origin.
Tiare flowers are deeply rooted in the Polynesian cultural life. Indeed, they are much used in the flower necklaces which are offered to tourists as a welcome token on their arrival. The vahine (Polynesian women) also use them everyday to enhance their beauty.
Among all Tahitian plants, the tiare is the one which is most used in traditional medicine. Although its active principles are not known yet, one thing is certain: the tiare is absolutely NOT toxic. In infusion with other essential oils or as an external remedy, the tiare is used to treat various problems, from mosquito bites to headaches, and even liver cancer. Its flower buds, when crushed with a few drops of MONOI, are used to soothe ear-aches or can be applied on wounds after mixing them with breadfruit tree latex (Artocarpus altilis). " It appears undeniable to us that the tiare has a soothing effect. " (Pétard, 1986. Plantes utiles de Polynésie).
Therefore, tiare plantations were created. In the early morning, the buds are hand-picked and then delicately wrapped in tiare leaves (tiare pu'ohu) in order to be transported to the soaking place. There, the pistils are removed from the fresh flowers and the petals are soaked in refined copra oil for a minimum of 15 days with 12 flowers per liter of oil. This process, called " enfleurage " (flower soaking) will allow the flowers to release their fragrance and their components into the oil and thus trigger the fabulous alchemy which results in the unparalleled scent of MONOI.
MONOI, a unique 2000 year-old natural product is the victim of its growing fame. Actually many people are jealous about it and fraudulent copies of patents are getting more and more numerous world-wide. In order to struggle against this problem and officially recognize its proprieties, Monoï de Tahiti® is now protected by an Appellation d'Origine - Guarantee of Origin - from the French Government (Decree n°92-340 of April 1, 1992 and published in the French Republic Official Gazette on April 2, 1992). This prestigious award is a first for a cosmetic product in France and represents the recognition of a unique local know-how combined with the special qualities and characteristics of the Polynesian.

Cahill, SJ, who last year taught at Cheverus High School's Vaughn Street freshman annex, moves into what may be the most important athletic directorship at the local parchial school. With the new Ocean Avenue school on the way towards completion, Father Cahill may find he has a broader program to be lined up shortly. A former baseball and basketball player at St. Mary's High School of Lynn, Mass., the new Cheverus A.D. also played independent freshman basketball when at Boston College."
