Professional Bio:
My name is John Cunningham and I have worked as a high school teacher of History and Economics in regular, honors, and IB classes over the past fifteen years. I have been in full time education for sixteen years the last eleven of which have been in Douglas County teaching International Baccalaureate Economics and History. However, I have numerous interests and have taught a variety of subjects including Government, World History, American History, World Geography, Economics, and Physical Education. Additionally, I have been a head and assistant coach in numerous sports including Soccer, Baseball, Softball, and Golf and as a club sponsor for the photography club, Rho Kappa (Social Studies Honor Society), the Table Tennis Club, and the Bowling Team. These clubs as well as the sports I have coached are all part of an attempt to help young people learn, grown, and mature through extracurricular engagements that provide opportunities for leadership and connectivity. Sports and clubs help students connect to their community. This is why I founded the DC chapter of Rho Kappa. In this club we are attempting to connect students to previous generations by exploring and showcasing the changes of generations of students at Douglas County High School. I have led these efforts as a coach and sponsor in order to help students connect to new activities, connect to others in their community, and connect to previous generations who have also been a part of the same type of activities. I have served as a department head at the school and as an assistant to the administration.
In teaching History courses at DC, I introduced my students to the "National History Day" competition. In my first year bringing NHD to DC, one group of students who did a project on Tokugawa Japan were selected as the state runner-up, and we took their project to the University of Maryland to represent our school and the state of Georgia in the national competition. They were also chosen to display and speak about their project at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. The following year, I had three other groups of students travel to Maryland as representatives of the state in the national competition. I then encouraged other social studies teachers to continue NHD, and those teachers continued to develop our NHD program. My work with the NHD program prompted an invitation by Dr. Kevin Shirley at Lagrange University to speak at the 93rd Annual Medieval Academy of America conference at Emory University as part of a panel discussion where we spoke to professors from around the country about the ability of National History Day projects to encourage studies in Medieval History and illustrate how pre-modern topics can also be used to develop the skills of a historian.
At DCHS, my fellow teachers elected me to serve as a member and then Chair of our newly created Teacher Advisory Committee in which I worked as a liaison directly to the principal for concerns and teacher improvement. I helped shape the structure of this committee whose success then encouraged the principal to establish a new assistant administrative training team of which I also served.
At the state level, I have been invited each year for the past several years to present to teachers from around the state at the Annual GCSS conference in Athens, GA. In these conferences I have presented the way in which teachers can use pop culture to teach history and have presented numerous content specific sessions that involved Modern History, Medieval History, and Macroeconomics. The presentations combined creative pedagogy and the initiative that teachers must take by learning new content. (A list of these academic presentations can be found on my curriculum vitae).
Internationally, I have consulted with Las Palmas Christian School in the Dominican Republic helping them rethink their budget and providing insight into economic and professional issues that impact teacher performance. In October of 2019, I was invited to The Hague, Netherlands to present on an IB History curriculum that "continues to produce depth of knowledge while promoting a skills based curriculum" and have worked with the IB curriculum review team since that time.
In 2018 I began a Ph.D. program researching Modern U.S. History with a minor in Global History and a second minor in the History of Science at Georgia State University.
Personal Bio:
I currently live in Douglasville, GA with my wife Carrie of eleven years. I am currently pursuing a PhD in History at Georgia State University. I was born in Smyrna, Georgia and moved a lot a kid alternating between Texas and Georgia. I have two younger sisters one who lives in Georgia and the other who lives in Texas with her husband, my three nieces, and newborn nephew.
In high school I played basketball, baseball, and football, and then briefly played soccer and tennis in college. I have enjoyed coaching and playing sports most of my life. I attended Shorter University (Shorter college at the time) from 2000 to 2004 and then took a job at an alternative school in Bartow County, Georgia. After three years, I left teaching for two years to become a full-time graduate student at the University of West Georgia majoring in Early Modern to Modern European History. After graduating with a Master's degree in 2009, I began teaching in the IB program at Douglas County High school. During that first year, my wife Carrie and I got married.
My wife and I both enjoy watching college football, learning new activities, traveling. Carrie and I have organized student trips to eleven countries since 2015 and enjoy exploring new cultures and different perspectives.
I believe that being a life-long learner is an important trait. I have attempted to model this for my students by working on a PhD in History at Georgia State University since 2018.
For the last several years my wife and I have been active in a large community service endeavor put on by our church called "Hope for Christmas" where Douglas, Paulding, and Cobb county families are able to enjoy a day of Christmas fun and are provided toys for their children, a Christmas dinner, and the children are allowed to "shop" for free gifts to give to their parents. My wife and I have served the community in this endeavor in several capacities donating and giving out toys and treats, photography for parents and kids to remember the event, and working with the children. The community event is a large endeavor serving over 10,000 people each year. In addition, over my time in the Douglas/Paulding/Cobb area I have organized and led activity groups at churches to provide small-group settings and activities for those in the community.
I believe that international education is important, and my wife and I are proud supporters of education for children in the impoverished country of Burkina Faso through Compassion International. We have sponsored a young man named Rahim for the past seven years and are so proud of his progress in school.
This website is an ever-evolving endeavor to provide information. Carrie and I built the website from scratch there may be links that have "rotted" or misliked pages. We are always trying to make this site as friendly and as accurate as possible. If you have suggestions, please let us, know.


Hello! What's going on with you this summer? I'm amazed at how quickly time is passing. Only 4.5 weeks until my kids' schools start. Only 8 weeks until I turn 40! I'm trying to stay in the moment and enjoy each day. It's easy to start worrying about the future (What if Violet doesn't like kindergarten? What if Bodhi is afraid to be dropped off at preschool?). Aside from thinking of ways to prepare them as best I can (meeting some of their classmates this summer, talking about what it might be like, etc...), worrying is just a waste of time.

March 19, 2019, NEW BRUNSWICK, NEWARK, and CAMDEN, NJ—In a majority vote, 88%, of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT faculty and graduate employee union voted to authorize the leadership to call a strike. If the union goes on strike, this would be the first strike of faculty and graduate workers in the 253-year history of Rutgers University. It would also be the first strike of tenured faculty at a Big 10 university.
"After a year of negotiations our faculty and graduate employees are fed up with the Barchi administration and have given us the authorization to strike. We are fighting to increase the full-time faculty to student ratio to defend quality public education. We are fighting for equal pay for equal work for female faculty. And we are fighting to raise the salaries of our lowest paid members, teaching assistants who have not seen a raise since 2013 and who earn $26,000 a year," said Deepa Kumar, president of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT.
"I am a Ph.D. student who has three part-time jobs at Rutgers. I earn $15,000 per semester, and I spend $2,000 per month on health insurance. This is really hard for me and my family. I support the demands for health care for part-time faculty and job security for graduate workers," said Sheena Raja, a Ph.D. student at Rutgers in New Brunswick.
The Union is fighting to hire more full-time faculty to improve the student-faculty ratio, as well as librarians, whose positions are currently in jeopardy due to proposed budget cuts to the library system.
"In 1998, Rutgers employed 2,123 full-time tenure-track faculty to teach 35,705 undergraduate students. Twenty years later, Rutgers employs almost the same workforce of tenure-track faculty – 2,110 – but the undergrad body is now 49,861. This has translated into larger class sizes. It also has meant that Rutgers has hired close to 3,000 part-time faculty who are paid $5,100 per course to teach our students," said Rudy Bell, a Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University.
"Rutgers Cooperative Extension faculty use our knowledge and resources to help New Jersey's urban, suburban and rural communities. For example, we help youth-at-risk to develop workplace readiness skills, we help struggling farmers preserve their livelihood, and we help break families' cycles of chronic illness through health and wellness practices," said Ellen Williams, Associate Professor, 4-H Youth Development Department, Rutgers University.
"Yet, Rutgers has reduced the number of Extension faculty and is failing in its mission as a land grant university," said Kumar. "We aim to increase these faculty and to uphold our commitment to the public of New Jersey."
"Among Big Ten universities, Rutgers has the highest number of underpaid part-time lecturers, none of whom are afforded health insurance by the university," she continued. "The AAUP-AFT is also fighting for equal pay for equal work for part-time faculty and for female faculty. The Union is seeking job security for graduate employees and Non-Tenure Track faculty, and raises above the cost of living to recruit and retain top-notch educators."
The Rutgers AAUP-AFT full-time bargaining unit represents 4,800 full-time faculty and graduate workers. This does not include the union's 3,000 part-time lecturers, 500+ PostDocs and 25 Educational Opportunity Fund counselors who are covered under separate contracts. Founded in 1970, Rutgers AAUP-AFT continues to work to ensure public access to high-quality and affordable higher education in New Jersey.

Lawful Acts, Unlawful Images: The Problematic Definition of 'Child' Pornography

Recent decades have seen increased national and international efforts to prosecute child pornography offenses. This increasing criminalization has been given greater urgency by the advent of digital technology, which allows offenders to produce and distribute such material with relative ease and anonymity. The interconnected nature of the Internet means that this is a global problem, and many jurisdictions have moved to strengthen their laws to punish each link in the chain, from production and distribution to possession. Central to these offenses is the definition of 'child'. While internationally 'child' is generally defined as a person under the age of eighteen, the age of consent to sexual activity varies considerably between jurisdictions.
This article considers the legal consequences of defining 'child' for the purposes of child pornography law as being higher than the age of consent. Drawing upon the laws of Australia, Canada, England, Wales, and the U.S.; it begins with a discussion of the increasing criminalization of child pornography. The rationales behind the criminalization of child pornography will then be discussed, with a critical analysis of their application to images of minors over the age of consent, as well as adults who 'appear to be' under eighteen. Two options for reform are then proposed and discussed.

This had to be my number one non-fiction book of the year because it has changed my life. Spark Joy I read for the first time in 2018, whereas The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up was a re-read (although the first time I read it, I didn't grasp the good bits as I was too focused on what felt odd in her methods). I read these books at the start of the year and immediately wanted to follow her method properly as my house was over-run with stuff. It really worked for me this time and I've spent months going through every single item that I own and have finally got rid of all the clutter. I naturally want to hoard things but I'm now so much better at just getting rid of things that I don't love. I've never had so much space in my own home before and it feels wonderful. I've definitely got the decluttering bug now as every time I'm dusting I immediately put in the charity box anything that doesn't make me happy.
So that's my favourite non-fiction that I read in 2018. Did you read any good non-fiction last year? I'd love to know what your favourite book (or books!) was. Don't forget you can find my favourite novels in yesterday's post here if you'd like to see my fiction book picks of the year.


More than half of the households in Britain will start paying more for their energy in April, after the regulator Ofgem raised the price cap today.
Ofgem sets the maximum prices that can be charged across the country for gas and electricity for those on standard variable tariffs (SVTs). These are people who have not switched suppliers and who have therefore been rolled on to default deals — which are usually the most expensive.
The regulator is raising the price cap in order to allow suppliers to cover their rising wholesale costs.
Around 11 million households in the UK are on these default tariffs and will be affected by the rise in the price cap. One of these households should now expect to pay approximately £1,254 each year.
Consumer groups say that people should shop around to get the best deals instead of remaining with the same supplier.
In addition, there are also four million people who are on pre-payment meters, who will also see their tariffs rise. A typical pre-payment customer will now pay £106 more than they did the year before.
One customer whose bill will go up spoke to the BBC. Jackie Foran, 65 from Manchester, ended up on a default tariff after her old energy firm went bust, and she pays around £100 despite living alone.
She said: 'I think quite a lot of elderly people will be caught by surprise, because when somebody says [the price] is capped, you think you don't have to do anything, you don't have to worry, it will all be perfectly fine.
The energy price cap is a flagship Government policy, designed to protect the vulnerable and those who have stayed with the same energy firm for a long time.
However, the price cap is now being raised due to the rising wholesale costs that energy companies face — the price of oil is getting higher and higher, and this accounts for more than a third of the typical UK energy bill.
To avoid this price hike, you should shop around for the best deal on your energy instead of relying on the price cap to keep your bills in check. Use a price comparison website like A Spokesman Said to look at all the deals on offer and find the one that's best for you.
Here at A Spokesman Said we love fighting for your rights and believe passionately in natural justice.
But these battles cost us money. You could help us fund these fights by using our price comparison site, A Spokesman Said for your energy, car insurance and household bills.
We're just the same as Go Compare or any other price comparison site, so you won't be losing out in any way - by helping us, you will be helping yourself.
Are you paying too much for your energy bills?
We compare prices from the Big 6 and many other energy suppliers, getting you the very best price.
Pet insurance goes down - that's something to wag your tail about!

Mar 5 2021 - "A girl should be two things: Who and what she wants." – Coco Chanel
Women of the world want and deserve an equal future…a future that's sustainable, peaceful, with equal rights and opportunities for all.
This year, the theme for International Women's Day is: Women in Leadership: Achieving and equal future in a COVID-19 world.
It celebrates the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world… shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the gaps still remain.
Women are still underrepresented in public life and decision-making.
Women are Heads of State or Government in only 22 countries.
Only 24.9% of national parliamentarians are women.
At this rate, gender equality among Heads of State or Government will take 130 years.
An analysis of COVID-19 task teams from 87 countries found only 3.5% of them had gender parity.
When women lead, we see positive results.
Some of the most efficient and exemplary responses to the COVID-19 pandemic were led by women.
Young women are at the forefront of movements for social justice, climate change and equality in all parts of the world.
Yet, women under 30 are less than 1 per cent of parliamentarians worldwide.
This year's International Women's Day is a rallying cry for Generation Equality.
It is time to act for an equal future for all.


On January 15, 2014, the first boat of Japanese origin was reported in Twin Harbors Beach State Park in Westport, Washington. While the boat didn't make the evening news, it was quickly collected and examined by biologists of the Washington Department of Fisheries and Wildlife and Oregon State University. Assuming that the boat was Japanese Tsunami Marine Debris (JTMD), this means the boat was in fact drifting at sea for nearly three years before finding its way on shore. This would be a testament to the fact that there certainly is still tsunami debris drifting around the Pacific Ocean (likely within the gyre system), and will continue to make its way to shore in the following years.
The boat, which was 22 feet long and covered in gooseneck barnacles, the giant barnacle Megabalanus rosa, ten species of algae, and at least one species of oyster, did have Japanese writing on it, which informed investigators that the boat was called the 'Dai Jyu Hachi Ei-Fuku-Maru', or the "18th Prosperous Fortune". None of the organisms were alive.
The boat is in the process of being cross-checked with the Japanese Consulate to determine whether the boat is in fact JTMD. However, the organisms present have led biologists at Oregon State University to believe that the boat is tsunami debris.

We are right in the middle of the dog days of summer over here. I haven't checked the weather forecast in weeks and it's because it's the same every day: hot and dry with not a cloud in the sky. (I didn't mean for that to rhyme, ha!) I get excited every time there's even a slight chance of thunderstorms in the forecast. I kind of miss being in Utah in the summer because at least Utah got the monsoon! We are too far north for monsoonal moisture to creep up here and give us some weather.
I wore my grey sweater blazer and Earth 'Tierra's sandals together in an outfit a couple of weeks ago and loved it so much that I wore them again for this outfit! I talked in this post about my summer work "uniform", and the outfit here is what I consider the epitome of that uniform. The sweater blazer is perfect for my freezing cold office (and definitely not so great to wear in 100°F temperatures—I was melting during this shoot!). It's so good that I have plans to add another to my wardrobe when the next big J.Crew sale rolls around.


Louis B Mayer with actor, William Powell, in his office at MGM. Date unknown.
UPDATE: 2 June, 2012 – When I initially added this post I didn't know who the other man is sharing uncle Louis' desk in his office at MGM. Thanks to my aunt who emailed me recently, I now know this is William Powell, a major star who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times: for The Thin Man (1934), My Man Godfrey (1936), and Life with Father (1947).
I love the pen holder, which of course relates to Louis B Mayer's passion for thoroughbred race horses. Looking around there are two phones – perhaps one is an intercom? The rest is the usual flotsam and jetsam found on any busy exec's desk today… or 70 years ago.
Thanks to my aunt for clarifying the mystery of the man hot-desking with uncle Louis.


Censored data models. Right now we are spec'ing out how this will work but the plan is to have models for predicting the outcome directly as well as models that predict survivor function probabilities. Email me ([email protected]) if you have an interest in this.
Enabling prediction intervals (for models that support this) using predict.train. To be clear, caret isn't generating these but if you fit an lm model, you will be able to generate intervals from predict.lm and pass them through predict.train.

Argentina's Cardinal Bergoglio elected pope, chooses Francis
By Francis X. Rocca and Cindy Wooden, Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, the leader of a large urban archdiocese in Latin America, was elected the 266th pope and took the name Francis.
He is the first pope in history to come from the Western Hemisphere and the first non-European to be elected in almost 1,300 years. The Jesuit was also the first member of his order to be elected pope, and the first member of any religious order to be elected in nearly two centuries.
The election March 13 came on the second day of the conclave, on the conclave's fifth ballot. It was a surprisingly quick conclusion to a conclave that began with many plausible candidates and no clear favorite.
The new pope was chosen by at least two-thirds of the 115 cardinals from 48 countries, who cast their ballots in secret in the Sistine Chapel.
His election was announced in Latin from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, to a massive crowd under the rain in the square below and millions watching around the world.

White smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel chimney at 7:05 p.m., signaling that the cardinals had chosen a successor to retired Pope Benedict XVI. Two minutes later, the bells of St. Peter's Basilica began pealing continuously to confirm the election.
At 8:12, French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the senior cardinal in the order of deacons, appeared at the basilica balcony and read out in Latin: "I announce to you a great joy: We have a pope! The most eminent and most reverend lord, Lord Jorge Mario, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, Bergoglio, who has taken for himself the name Francis."
The crowd in the square responded with cheers, applause and the waving of rain-soaked national flags.
Ten minutes the later the new pope appeared. He sought prayers for Pope Benedict and spoke of the journey the church was about to begin.
"Now I would like to give my blessing. But first, I will ask a favor. Before the bishop blesses his people, he asks that you pray to the Lord to bless me, the prayer of the people for the blessing of their bishop. Let's pray for me in silence," he said.
Celsa Negrini, an older woman from Rome, said the new pope's choice of name was "beautiful. Francis is the patron of Italy. It's a humble choice, a choice of one who will reach out to the poor."
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi told reporters it was "beautiful that a Latin American was chosen."
"I don't know him well, even though we are part of same religious family," he said "I greeted him the other day, but didn't expect to see him again dressed in white."
A respected Italian journal said Pope Francis I had the second-highest number of votes on each of the four ballots in the 2005 conclave.
Pope Francis has had a growing reputation as a very spiritual man with a talent for pastoral leadership serving in a region with the largest number of the world's Catholics.
Since 1998, he has been archbishop of Buenos Aires, where his style is low-key and close to the people.
He rides the bus, visits the poor, lives in a simple apartment and cooks his own meals. To many in Buenos Aires, he is known simply as "Father Jorge."
He also has created new parishes, restructured the administrative offices, led pro-life initiatives and started new pastoral programs, such as a commission for divorcees. He co-presided over the 2001 Synod of Bishops and was elected to the synod council, so he is well-known to the world's bishops.
The pope has also written books on spirituality and meditation and has been outspoken against abortion and same-sex marriages.
In 2010, when Argentina became the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage, Pope Francis encouraged clergy across the country to tell Catholics to protest against the legislation because, if enacted, it could "seriously injure the family."
He also said adoption by same-sex couples would result in "depriving (children) of the human growth that God wanted them given by a father and a mother."
In 2006, he criticized an Argentine proposal to legalize abortion under certain circumstances as part of a wide-ranging legal reform. He accused the government of lacking respect for the values held by the majority of Argentines and of trying to convince the Catholic Church "to waver in our defense of the dignity of the person."
His role often forced him to speak publicly about the economic, social and political problems facing his country. His homilies and speeches are filled with references to the fact that all people are brothers and sisters and that the church and the country need to do what they can to make sure that everyone feels welcome, respected and cared for.
While not overtly political, Pope Francis has not tried to hide the political and social impact of the Gospel message, particularly in a country still recovering from a serious economic crisis.
After becoming archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, he created new parishes, restructured the administrative offices, taken personal care of the seminary and started new pastoral projects, such as the commission for divorcees. He mediated in almost all social or political conflicts in the city; recently ordained priests have been described as "the Bergoglio generation"; and no political or social figure missed requesting a private encounter with him.
Jorge Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital city, Dec. 17, 1936.
He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. The last pope to have belonged to a religious order was Pope Gregory XVI, a Benedictine elected in 1831.
He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada high school in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires.
In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest Dec. 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina.
In 1980, he returned to San Miguel as a teacher at the Jesuit school, a job rarely taken by a former provincial superior. In May 1992 he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires. He was one of three auxiliaries and he kept a low profile, spending most of his time caring for the Catholic university, counseling priests and preaching and hearing confessions.
On June 3, 1997, he was named coadjutor archbishop. He was installed as the new archbishop of Buenos Aires Feb. 28, 1998.
Some controversy had arisen over the position taken by Pope Francis during Argentina's 1976-1983 military dictatorship, which cracked down brutally on political opponents. Estimates of the number of people killed and forcibly disappeared during those years range from about 13,000 to more than 30,000.
Citing a case in which two young priests were detained by the military regime, critics say that the cardinal, who was Jesuit provincial at the time, did not do enough to support church workers against the military dictatorship.
Others, however, have said that he attempted to negotiate behind the scenes for the priests' release, and a spokesman for the cardinal, quoted in the daily newspaper La Nacion, called the accusation "old slander."

Additionally, you can get information about any error associated with the current ticket (Error), although you must compare the number to values in the Passport documentation, as no enumeration is currently supplied. Other information from the Passport profile (including everything from the user's birth date to the user's language preference) is available through the Item name/value collection. For information on valid attribute names, consult the Passport documentation.
The PassportIdentity class also provides several methods, many of which are shared and available without a PassportIdentity instance (such as those used for encryption and compression). You can use LoginUser( ) to redirect a user to the Passport sign-in page or initiate a Passport-aware client authentication exchange. You can also use SignOut( ) to end the user's session.
Note that you can pass -1 to any Passport method in place of an optional integer parameter. This indicates that Passport should use the default value from the registry and is equivalent to omitting optional parameters.

Mental health promotion aims to maximise the ability of children, youth, adults and older people to realise their potential, cope with normal stresses of life, and participate meaningfully in their communities.

Before even implementation of mental health promotion starts, it is essential that the mental health needs of the population are identified and priorities are set as to which needs would be addressed in the beginning [17]. Interventions to reduce cognitive decline in aging. It requires the parent to tune in to what their child is communicating, thinking and feeling without distraction. Mental health promotion is a key driver for the Mental Health in Schools Strategy. 2016. Special groups need to be targeted as well as communities.

Lee, Chul According to the WHO, community is the most important setting and community empowerment, ownership and control of their destiny is the most important strategy for mental health promotion. Kettunen, Tarja Oliveira, Jaqueline Lemos de health promotion should be mainstreamed into governmental and nongovernmental policies and programmes. and The message that there is no health without mental health has to be conveyed repeatedly and strongly across to the public and the policy makers. and Full text views reflects PDF downloads, PDFs sent to Google Drive, Dropbox and Kindle and HTML full text views. Targeted interventions at individuals will also need to focus on the whole population. Mental health has been conceptualized as a positive emotion (such as feelings of happiness or resilience) [55]. Research has shown the positive contribution of arts and singing and music in particular to mental health and well-being of old people [47,48]. Frokjaer, Vibe G. Ho, Petula SY Even though there may be a higher incidence of various mental illnesses in individuals in inner city areas and ghettoes, it may be also important to consider the protective effect that an ethnically congruent neighborhood may have on an individual's mental health. WHO Western Pacific Regional Office has supported Member States in promoting and advocating mental health, which includes raising awareness on dementia, the 2017 "Let's talk" campaign on depression, promoting workplace mental health, reducing availability Much of the research on LGBT population has focused on HIV/AIDS issues but the need is to conduct more research on mental health issues and promotion of mental health in them. On a negative note, however, this cultural diversity is tinged with intended or unintended discrimination of the people who belong to a foreign culture. To complicate things further, the mental health professional may not be able to deal adequately with the mental health needs of LGBT youth for the simple reason of not having received adequate LGBT-specific training. A key aspect in this regard is the education of girls and women and empowering them. A combined vista to health promotion and prevention categorizes interventions into universal (addressed to the whole population), selected (targeted to subgroups with significant risks) and indicated (targeted to high-risk individuals) Reference Mrazek and Haggerty[30]. Hence, it is important to understand that to achieve the goal of global health, one cannot ignore mental health at all. Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Strategies Health promotion and disease prevention programs can improve health at every stage of life. Reference Patel, Flisher, Hetrick and McGorry[35] reiterate the need for addressing young people's mental health needs if their contribution to the development of society as a whole is expected. View all Google Scholar citations Health promotion gives information to stakeholders who can then cascade this to people where it really matters. Mental Keeping these issues in mind, developing an LGBT inclusive training curriculum for mental health and other health professionals is the need of the hour. MindEd provides free open access online training in emotional and behavioural 'first aid' and essential therapeutic skills for all those involved in the mental wellbeing and care of children and young people in the UK. An in-depth analysis of the WHO definition of health will make it clearer that one need not suffer from a mental illness in order to be called unhealthy. Promoting Mental Health, Concepts, emerging evidence, practice, summary report. Min, Jung-Ah As discussed earlier, mental health promotion as a concept [55], involves making efforts to improve the well-being of individuals and communities, and is different from prevention of mental disorders, which, in essence, may be a part and parcel of mental health promotion efforts. This strong association between better self-rating of health and lower SEP becomes even more important when one considers the stringent conditions that people from the lower SEP live in and hence their risk of developing various mental illnesses including substance use disorders and psychosis Reference Simkin[46].

Q: How to set the bar exactly in the center of plot marker? ErrorListPlot usually does not put the error bar exactly in the center of the plot markers. For example:
Needs["ErrorBarPlots`"]

data=RandomReal[{-1,1},{4,3,3}];
size=20;
{pm1,pm2,pm3,pm0}={{"\[EmptyUpTriangle]",size},{"\[EmptySquare]",1.1*size},{"\[EmptyCircle]",0.9*size},{"\[EmptyDownTriangle]",size}};
ErrorListPlot[data,PlotMarkers->{pm1,pm2,pm3,pm0}]

The output will be

As the figure shows, bar usually lays a little right from the center of the plot marker.
Another similar question is that the text will not be in the center of a circle when they are plated at the same coordinate, for example:
Graphics[{Circle[{0, 0}, 0.01], Text[Style[17, FontSize -> 50], {0, 0}]}, ImageSize -> 67]

Is there anyone could solve the "typesetting problem" mentioned above elegantly?

A: Define the markers as shown below
marker[1] =
Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thickness[0.1], Blue}], FaceForm[],
Polygon[{{0, 2}, {Sqrt[3], -1}, {-Sqrt[3], -1}}]}, ImageSize -> 10];
marker[2] =
Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thickness[0.13], Orange}], FaceForm[],
Rectangle[{0, 0}]}, ImageSize -> 10];
marker[3] =
Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thickness[0.1], Green}], FaceForm[],
Circle[{0, 0}, 0.1]}, ImageSize -> 10];
marker[4] =
Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thickness[0.1], Red}], FaceForm[],
Polygon[{{0, -2}, {Sqrt[3], 1}, {-Sqrt[3], 1}}]}, ImageSize -> 10];
aLLmarker = Table[marker[i], {i, 1, 4}];

Now all the markers are centered properly.
 plot = ErrorListPlot[data, PlotMarkers -> aLLmarker, PlotRange -> All,
 Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False}, ImageSize -> 400]

 Export["2.jpg", plot, ImageResolution -> 600]

Note: While exporting I find that your original code works fine. I mean even though mma shows the markers to be off-centered, the final exported image is rendered properly.
You can use Offset for the last part
Graphics[{Circle[Offset[{2, 2}, {0, 0}], 0.01],
Text[Style[17, FontSize -> 50], {0, 0}]}, ImageSize -> 67]

A: Here is a bit of a hack to "nudge" the font-based markers.
size = 20;
{pm1, pm2, pm3,
   pm0} = {{Framed["\[EmptyUpTriangle]", FrameStyle -> None,
     FrameMargins -> {{1.46, 0}, {0, 0}}], size},
   {Framed["\[EmptySquare]", FrameStyle -> None,
     FrameMargins -> {{1.46, 0}, {0, 0}}], 1.1 size},
   {Framed["\[EmptyCircle]", FrameStyle -> None,
     FrameMargins -> {{1.46, 0}, {0, 0}}], .9 size},
   {Framed["\[EmptyDownTriangle]", FrameStyle -> None,
     FrameMargins -> {{1.46, 0}, {0, 0}}], size}};
ErrorListPlot[data, PlotMarkers -> {pm1, pm2, pm3, pm0}]

Using graphics primitives is preferable, but in case you need some special glyphs this could be useful.

Christmas Countdown: Cadbury's Santa's Workshop Dairy Milk – From New Zealand!
It's Christmas Eve and here at my mother's house that means we are preparing things in anticipation of our big Christmas Eve dinner. I've temporarily cleared a place at the dinner table to write today's post before everyone arrives, and the smell of home-baked bread is delightfully filling the air.
For today's post, I'm going to share a set of Christmas-themed Dairy Milk wrappers from my collection that were released by Cadbury's New Zealand branch in the 1990's. They feature fun Christmastown scenes like Rudi Reindeer and a Skating Santa.
That's the whole set of six wrappers!
I've got to run as family is about to arrive and I need to clear my laptop from the dinner table.
So from to all of my visitors who celebrate the holiday: Merry Christmas from CollectingCandy.com!!

3 Responses to Christmas Countdown: Cadbury's Santa's Workshop Dairy Milk – From New Zealand!
Afew years back 'Cadbury' put up a wrapper on their family blocks with Christmas stories on them. One in particular was about the angel and drummer boy and their placement on the Christmas tree. I have been searching the web ever since and can't locate this story. Would you know of it? Clutching at straws here! Thanks and have a great day.
It doesn't ring any bells, but I have a LOT of Cadbury Christmas wrappers from over the years. Do you know around what year you saw this wrapper?
Thankyou for the quick reply. I live in Australia and it was 2009 or 2010 I thonk.

Q: Example code to read device ID of MachXo2 with FTDI -JTAG In my project I am working on MachX02 programming with FTDI master using JTAG functionality. I am trying to read device ID of MachX02, but not working, here is my sample code to read device ID of MachX02:
cmd_buffer[0] = 0xE0;
cmd_buffer[1] = (byte)((operand & 0xFF0000) >> 16);
cmd_buffer[2] = (byte)((operand & 0x00FF00) >> 8);
cmd_buffer[3] = (byte)(operand & 0x0000FF);

JTAG_WriteRead(fthandle, false, 32, cmd_buffer, 4, m_readbuffer, ref operand, RUN_TEST_IDLE_STATE);

Where I went wrong could not able to identify, for MachX02 before sending device ID opcode, do I need to send any another opcode?
Please help to overcome this problem, thanks in advance.

A: I'm not sure what MachXO2 device you are using, but I pulled the BSDL files of a couple of them at random. The IDCODE opcode appears to be '11100000', or 0xE0.
I'm also not sure what FTDI library you're using, but I'll assume you're using a FTDI FT2232H or similar that is capable of acting as a JTAG master via MPSSE functionality or similar.
To read the IDCODE, you basically have to do the following:

*

*JTAG Reset (put chain into known state) -- can be 5 TCKs with TMS held high

*Load IR 0xE0 (8-bit IR Shift)

*Perform a 32-bit DR shift to read out the IDCODE.

That's all there is to it -- I don't think the part needs to be in any particular state to support the IDCODE instruction. An ISC (IEEE 1532) instruction to read the USERCODE, possibly, but I also that's unlikely -- you should be able to read both with ease.
I Googled the function you're using (please add more detail to your questions in the future), and I think you're calling it incorrectly, since you appear to be writing to a data register. I think you want:
JTAG_WriteRead(fthandle, true, 8, 0xE0, 1, m_IRbuffer, m_numBytes, RUN_TEST_IDLE_STATE);
JTAG_WriteRead(fthandle, false, 32, 0x00000000, 4, m_DRbuffer, m_numBytes, RUN_TEST_IDLE_STATE);

Where m_IRbuffer is a buffer of size 1 byte, and m_DRbuffer is of size 4 bytes (32 bits), and m_numBytes can be a 1 byte char of some type. The first command should load 0xE0 into the IR. The second should shift in 32-bits of 0 into the IDCODE DR register, and you should get back the IDCODE in m_DRbuffer.
As an aside, if you're having trouble with this amount of low-level work, I would suggest using urjtag or a similar software library to read the information you need.


SoftNet Taps Inktomi for Cable, Satellite Alliance - InternetNews.
Internet cable access provider SoftNet Systems Inc. Wednesday signed an agreement with Inktomi Corp. to use Inktomi's Traffic Server caching solution throughout SoftNet's cable and satellite networks.
Terms of the alliance call for Inktomi to incorporate its technology with SoftNet's network products and receive cash and SoftNet stock.
The companies also agreed to extend the alliance to include distribution and technology integration across SoftNet's network products including SkyPOP. SkyPOP will be marketed to cable operators, ISP's, Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU's), office buildings and schools.
SoftNet's subsidiaries, the ISP Channel and Intellicom will deploy advanced caching technology by integrating Traffic Server into their products.
The company said by incorporating the caching technology into its turnkey solution, ISP Channel will become more cost efficient and effective for delivering broadband data, such as video and audio streams. The partnership will also enable the ISP Channel to offer greater filtering and personalization features, which the company said will provide new revenue streams for ISP Channel cable partners.
"ISP Channel is committed to delivering a complete broadband experience to our Internet customers, and Inktomi's Traffic Server represents a key piece of the network infrastructure to help us fulfill that promise," said Ian Aaron, president of ISP Channel.
"This technology relationship addresses how ISP Channel services can also provide means for generating advertising and additional subscription revenue. The filtering and personalization functions allow us to extract data and provide pinpoint ad targeting, for example. We also plan to leverage this data into other e-commerce and content delivery services," Aaron said.
The ISP Channel provides an end-to-end Internet-over-cable access system, including a complete turnkey service for cable operators who want to enter the high-speed Internet access market. The network depends on a distributed caching system to deploy high-speed Internet access.
The caching architecture stores temporary copies of content near users on the network and supports thousands of users simultaneously requesting broadband Internet content. By using Inktomi's Traffic Server, SoftNet said it will be able to meet the scalability and carrier-class performance requirements of ISP Channel's broadband network.
"This relationship with ISP Channel is key for Inktomi because it represents an entry for us into an important segment of the Internet market," said Paul Gauthier, Inktomi's chief technology officer.
"ISP Channel's cable and satellite networks, running on Traffic Server's flexible software infrastructure, will offer one of the most cost effective means of delivering flexible broadband content and services to ISPs and cable operators," Gauthier said.
