Q: onyx.DatePicker breaks in enyo.Repeater I am not able to get a onyx.DatePicker working inside a enyo.Repeater. I set up this jsfiddle, which shows my problem. When the // in line 6 is removed, it breaks and shows

Failed to load date time format hash

in my console in Opera Dragonfly.
What is that about, and what to do, to get the onyx.DatePicker working?

A: Congratulations!  You discovered a bug in Enyo.  It turns out the onSetupItem handler in DatePicker.js isn't returning a truthy value so the event bubbles up to your Repeater.  I have filed a bug (ENYO-2059) and will push a fix up afterwards.
If you want to fix it for yourself go into DatePicker.js and add 'return true;' to the end of setupYear().
As to your 'cannot load date time hash' issue, I suspect it's because you haven't included the g11n library.  I'm not sure I've seen that message before but it would be a non-fatal error and Enyo will default to English.

Q: Cannot grep out status line (terminal playback time) from mpv essentially I'm trying to just run mpv on a video, and after you quit you get some information about the video.
Example:
 (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (hevc 1920x1080 60.000fps)
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 2ch 48000Hz)
AO: [pulse] 48000Hz stereo 2ch float
VO: [gpu] 1920x1080 yuv420p
AV: 00:00:01 / 00:12:32 (0%) A-V:  0.000

Exiting... (Quit)

I would like to grep out the AV line, however this line is added before/afterwards (I'm not exactly sure). When running mpv video_file | grep AV
The video would play and the terminal would give this little status line
(Paused) AV: 00:00:02 / 00:00:57 (5%) A-V:  0.000 (random example video, different to the first one)
However after closing mpv there is no output, and its further confirmed when running
mpv video_file >> test.txt
giving an output of
 (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (hevc 1920x1080 60.000fps)
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 2ch 48000Hz)
AO: [pulse] 48000Hz stereo 2ch float
VO: [gpu] 1920x1080 yuv420p

Exiting... (Quit)

suggesting that it places the AV line outside of the output, between VO line and the space line.
Soooo like how would I grep out this line?

Archaeology proves the famous biblical account of a desperate attempt to fortify the Holy City
BY CHRISTOPHER EAMES
It was supposed to be a simple salvage operation to repair a crumbling Hasmonean tower. But after Dr. Eilat Mazar and her team started excavating, they soon realized that this project would be far more. By the time they were done, they had made a sensational discovery.
Situated in the City of David, at the upper northern end of the Stepped Stone Structure, the Northern Tower was a poorly constructed fortified structure. It had the remains of a mikveh (ritual purification bath) on top. The Northern Tower was largely unearthed in the 1920s. Until 2007, archaeologists, including Dr. Mazar, generally assumed the tower dated to the Hasmonean period (second century B.C.E.).
By 2007, the Northern Tower was in a perilous condition, at risk of collapse. The structure had clearly been built quickly in antiquity, with its stones loosely cobbled together. Most significantly, nearly a century of nearby archaeological digs had compromised its structural integrity. Without immediate intervention, the tower would collapse. Early that year, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) attempted to carry out restoration work, yet the soundness of the tower continued to deteriorate. Thus, the IAA approved Dr. Mazar to lead a salvage excavation to repair the tower.

James Roosevelt, Jr. and Robert Lewis, Jr., will also receive honorary degrees
BOSTON – June 1, 2017 – William James College, a leader in educating mental health professionals and the largest graduate psychology program in New England, announced today that Margot Stern Strom, founder, president emerita and senior scholar at Facing History and Ourselves, will receive an honorary degree and deliver the college's 37th commencement address. Commencement will take place Sunday, June 4 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel at 11:00 am. In addition to Strom, James Roosevelt, Jr., advisor to the CEO and board of directors of Tufts Health Plan (THP) and the grandson of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, and Robert Lewis, Jr., founder and President of The BASE, will also receive honorary degrees.
Strom grew up in Memphis, Tennessee during the struggle for civil rights, and began her career as a teacher, examining the social and moral issues facing society. Her experience as a student and as a teacher drove her to found Facing History and Ourselves, a nonprofit organization that helps secondary school teachers promote civic and social-emotional learning. The program encourages teachers to implement critical academic discussion of gender and race equity, and fosters learning in students so they can make connections between current events and history. Facing History and Ourselves has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, the Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning and the Education Commission of the States for its impact on schools, teachers and students.
Formerly the CEO of THP, Roosevelt led THP to become the largest qualified health plan in enrollment on the Massachusetts Affordable Care Act marketplace and the largest Medicare Advantage Plan in New England. Prior to his position at THP, Roosevelt was Associate Commissioner for Retirement Policy for the Social Security Administration in Washington, D.C. He is a member of the National Academy of Social Insurance and Vice-chair of the Advisory Board of the National Committee to preserve Social Security and Medicare. He currently serves as Chief Legal Counsel to the Massachusetts Democratic Party, is a member of the executive committee, co-chairs the Rules and By-laws Committee of the Democratic National Committee and is a Visiting Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
Aside from launching The BASE, Lewis was the visionary behind StreetSafe Boston, the only privately funded gang program in the country aimed at reducing gun violence. A passionate advocate for urban youth, Lewis was named by the Boston Business Journal in 2016 as one of Boston's Top 50 Game-Changers and one of Boston's 50 Most Powerful Leaders by Boston Magazine in 2015. His organization, The BASE, utilizes baseball to support student athletes and help inner-city children find success in both athletics and academics.

HIV/AIDS Epi updates, July 2010
Chapter 4: HIV/AIDS Epi updates, July 2010 – HIV/AIDS among youth in Canada
Chapter 4: HIV/AIDS Among Youth in Canada
HIV/AIDS Among Youth in Canada (PDF Document - 455 KB – 10 pages)
Since reporting began, youth between the ages of 15 and 29 years have accounted for 26.5% of all positive HIV test reports.
Behavioural data on young Canadians demonstrate risk of HIV transmission in terms of risky sexual behaviours and knowledge gaps.
Data from targeted studies show that street-involved youth, youth who inject drugs and young men who have sex with men are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection.
A wide range of prevention activities need to be implemented to help minimize the risk of HIV transmission among youth.
In general, youth (defined here as between 15 and 29 years of age) are vulnerable to HIV infection as a result of many factors, including risky sexual behaviour, substance use (including injection drug use) and lack of information or misinformation regarding HIV transmission. To adequately profile HIV and AIDS in the youth population, it is necessary to supplement current Canadian HIV/AIDS surveillance data with other relevant data sources, such as health surveys, incidence/prevalence studies and data on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This chapter provides an overview of the most recent HIV/AIDS surveillance data (both routine and enhanced) on Canadian youth as well as a summary of recent research on factors associated with HIV risk behaviour and HIV transmission.
Routine Surveillance
The Public Health Agency of Canada's Centre for Communicable Diseases and Infection Control (CCDIC) collects surveillance data on positive HIV test reports and reported AIDS cases in Canada. Epidemiologic information includes (but is not limited to) age, sex, risks associated with the transmission of HIV and self-reported ethnicity. For AIDS cases, death data are also collected.
Health care providers and/or laboratories forward this information to provincial and territorial public health officials, who, in turn, voluntarily submit positive HIV test reports and AIDS diagnoses to the Centre, where the data are synthesized and analyzed at the national level. There are several limitations regarding surveillance data, including reporting delays, underreporting, missing information and undiagnosed infections. (Please refer to Chapter 3 for a full description of HIV/AIDS surveillance in Canada.)
AIDS surveillance data
The total number of AIDS cases reported to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) from 1979 to December 31, 2008, was 21,300.Footnote 1
Trends among youth aged 15 to 29
The proportion of AIDS cases attributed to the 15-29 year age group decreased steadily from 34.6% in 1982 to a low of 7.5% in 1999 and since then increased slightly to 11.8% of all cases in 2008 (Figure 1).
Figure 1 shows the proportion of diagnosed AIDS cases in Canada by age group from 1979-2008. There are four lines representing each age group as follows: the first line represents those aged 15 or less, the second line represents those aged 15-29, the third line represents those aged 30-49 and the fourth line represents those aged over 50 years.
The proportion of diagnosed AIDS cases in Canada for those 15 years or under is as follows:
None reported for 1979 or 1980
37.5% in 1981
The proportion of diagnosed AIDS cases in Canada for those 15-29 is as follows:
None reported for 1979
100% in 1980
None reported in 1980
The proportion of diagnosed AIDS cases in Canada for those over the age of 50 is as follows:
From 1983 to 1995, males accounted for over 85% of annual AIDS cases among youth aged 15-29. This gap has been shrinking steadily, and in 2007 the proportion of AIDS cases among female youth exceeded the proportion among male youth for the first time since reporting began in 1979 (Figure 2). In 2008, among youth, males accounted for 66.7% of AIDS cases and females accounted for 33.3% of AIDS cases reported to PHAC.
Figure 2 shows the proportion of diagnosed AIDS cases among youth aged 15-29 by sex from 1995-2008.
This graph is represented by two lines. The top line represents males and the bottom line represents females.
Among male youth, the proportion of diagnosed AIDS cases is as follows:
Among female youth, the proportion of diagnosed AIDS cases is as follows:
Exposure category
Since 2000, among youth the proportion of AIDS cases attributed to the exposure category men who have sex with men (MSM) has increased from 26.3% to 42.9%.
Similarly, since 2000, the proportion of AIDS cases attributed to people who inject drugs (IDU) has increased from 31.6% to 42.9%.
Meanwhile, since 2000, among youth the proportion of AIDS cases attributed to heterosexual contact has decreased from 34.2% to 14.3%.
As shown in Figure 3, the proportion of AIDS cases among Black and Aboriginal youth increased between 1988 and 2004 by 24.5 percentage points and 15.9 percentage points, respectively. The proportion of AIDS cases among people who identified themselves as White has decreased steadily, and cases among other ethnicities/races have remained relatively constant.
Figure 3 shows the breakdown of the proportions of AIDS cases among youth aged 15-29, by ethnic origin from 1988 to 2008. The results are reported in descending order.
In 1988, the largest proportion was found among those of White ethnic origin, which accounted for 85.1% of reported AIDS cases. This was followed by those of Black origin which represented 7.7%, 2.4% for those of Asian origin, 1.9% for those of Aboriginal origin, 1.9% for those of Latin American origin, and 1.0% for South Asian/West Asian/Arab origin.
In 1998, the largest proportion was found among those of White ethnic origin, which represented 60.6% of all reported AIDS cases. This was followed by those of Black origin which accounted for 18.3%, 11.3% for those of Aboriginal origin, 5.6% for those of Latin American origin, 2.8% among those of Asian origin, and 1.4% among those who were from other origins. There were no reported cases for those of South Asian/West Asian or Arab origin.
In 2004, the largest proportion of reported AIDS cases among youth was found among those of White origin, which represented 42.9%. This was followed by those of Black origin which accounted for 32.1%, 17.9% for those of Aboriginal origin, and 7.1% among those of Asian origin. There were no reported cases for those of other, Latin American, or South Asian/West Asian/Arab origins.
In 2008, the largest proportion of reported AIDS cases among youth in Canada was among those of White origin, which represented 42.9 % . This was followed by those of Aboriginal origin which accounted for 28.6%, 14.3% for those of Latin American and Black origins. No cases were reported among those of other ethnic origin ,South Asian/West Asian/Arab origin or among Asian ethnic origin.

HIV surveillance data
Since HIV reporting began in 1985 to December 31, 2008, there have been a cumulative number of 67,442 positive HIV test reports in Canada.
In 1985, the proportion of positive HIV test reports attributed to the 15-29 year age group was 39.5%, after which the proportion among youth decreased steadily to a low of 20.8% in 1999. Between 1998 and 2008, youth accounted for approximately 21%-23% of annual HIV test reports (Figure 4).
Figure 4 shows the trends in the number of positive HIV test reports by age group, from 1995-2008. There are four lines representing each age group as follows: one line represents those aged 15 or less, one line represents those aged 15-29, one line represents those aged 30-49 and one line represents those aged over 50 years.
The number of positive HIV test reports among those 15 years or less is as follows:
The number of positive HIV test reports among those 15-29 is as follows:
The number of positive HIV test reports among those over the age of 50 is as follows:
In the early years of the epidemic (1985-1990), over 70% of annual positive HIV test reports among youth were attributed to the MSM exposure category, with smaller proportions attributed to the IDU and heterosexual contact exposure categories. By 1999, the proportion of positive HIV test reports attributed to these three exposure categories was nearly equal (IDU 35.1%, MSM 28.7%, heterosexual 30.9%).
In 2008, the highest proportion of positive HIV tests reports among youth was attributed to the MSM exposure category, at 53.9% ( n = 172), followed by heterosexual contact at 22.9% ( n = 73) and IDU at 19.4% ( n = 62) (Figure 5).
Figure 5 shows the trends in the number of positive HIV test reports among youth aged 15-29 in Canada by exposure category, from 1995-2008.
There are 6 lines representing different exposure categories as follows: the first line represents MSM, the second line represents IDU, the third line represents MSM-IDU, the fourth line represents recipient of blood products/clotting agents, the fifth line represents the heterosexual category, and the sixth represents the "other" category.
The trend for the number of positive HIV cases for the MSM exposure category is as follows:
200 cases were reported in 1995
79 cases were reported in 1998
176 cases were reported in 2008.
The trend for the number of positive HIV cases for the IDU exposure category is as follows:
The trend for the number of positive HIV cases for the MSM-IDU exposure category is as follows:
7 cases were reported in 1999
The trend for the number of positive HIV cases for the recipient of blood products/clotting agents exposure category is as follows:
1 case was reported in 1995
No cases were reported in 2001
The trend for the number of positive HIV cases for the heterosexual exposure category is as follows:
The trend for the number of positive HIV cases for the "other" exposure category is as follows:
When reporting began in 1985, the male:female ratio of positive HIV test reports among youth was nearly 20:1, 95.8% of positive HIV test reports occurring among males (Figure 6). By 2001, the proportions of positive HIV test reports among males and females in this age group were nearly equal (54.8% and 45.2% respectively). Since then, the proportion among males has ranged from 57% to 67%.
In 2008, the proportion of positive HIV test reports among all females was highest in the 15-29 year age group and represented 33.5% of all positive HIV test reports among youth. The proportion among females decreased for all successive age groups: 30.9% in the 30-39 year age group, 21.5% in the 40-49 year age group and 15.1% in the 50 years and over age group.
In 2008 the only age group in which there was a higher number of positive HIV test reports among females than males was in the 15-19 year age group; the male-to-female ratio was 0.7:1.
Figure 6 shows the proportion of positive HIV test reports among youth aged 15-29, by sex, in Canada from 1985-2008. This graph is represented by two lines. The top line represents males and the bottom line represents females.
The trend in the proportion of positive HIV test reports among male youth is as follows:
95.8% were among male youth in 1985
The trend in the proportion of positive HIV test reports among female youth is as follows:
4.2% were among female youth in 1985
11.9% were among female youth in 1988
There are several limitations associated with reported race/ethnicity status, and thus caution is recommended in interpreting these data. Information on race/ethnicity is not available for all provinces and territories, most notably Ontario and Quebec. As a result of the variation in reporting, the race/ethnicity status reflected in positive HIV test reports should not be viewed as representative of Canada. Other caveats are the limited choices for identification of race/ethnicity on case report forms, possible misclassification and underreporting.
Since race/ethnicity reporting for HIV began in 1998 the majority of annual positive HIV reports have been among people who identified themselves as White, except in 2005 and 2008 when this group was surpassed by people identified as Aboriginal.
The proportion of positive HIV test reports among youth identified as White has shown a generally decreasing trend, from 51.0% in 1998 to 33.5% in 2008.
The proportion of positive HIV test reports among youth identified as Aboriginal has shown a generally increasing trend, from 28.8% of positive HIV test reports in 1998 to 40.9% in 2008.
In 2008, the majority of positive HIV test reports were among people who identified themselves as Aboriginal (40.9%), followed by White (33.5%), then Latin American and Black (both at 7.9%).

Enhanced Surveillance/Population- Specific Surveillance Data
Overall description of "Tracks"
As part of the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada , PHAC monitors trends in HIV prevalence and associated risk behaviors in key populations identified in Canada through second-generation HIV surveillance systems. The overall objectives of these systems (known as the "Track" systems) are to describe the changing patterns in the prevalence and incidence of HIV infections, risk behaviour practices and testing patterns for HIV, hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBIs) in each respective population. For a more detailed description of the Track systems, please refer to Chapter 3.
I-Track
I-Track is the national, second-generation HIV surveillance system of people who inject drugs (IDU). This system builds on previous research studies conducted in Canada and was developed in response to the need for a consistent approach in the collection of risk behaviour information across Canada. People who have injected drugs in the previous 6 months and who meet the age limit of consent for the given province/territory (age varies by site according to provincial/territorial ethical considerations) are eligible to participate in I-Track.
Summary of descriptive data from I-Track Phase 2 (2005-2008):Footnote 2
The proportion of youth (participants less than 29 years old) who reported borrowing used needles in the previous 6 months was 26%, compared with 21% among participants aged 30-49 and 17% among participants aged 50 and older.
Youth I-Track participants reported the lowest rate of consistent condom use during anal (42%) and vaginal (55%) sex.
Over 90% ( n = 2,972) of I-Track participants reported ever having been tested for HIV; of youth participants (n = 690), 88.7% had ever been tested for HIV. Among youth who reported that their most recent HIV test was negative, 69% reported having been tested for HIV in the previous 2 years.
Among participants who provided a biological sample of sufficient quantity for testing and who completed a questionnaire, the prevalence of HIV among youth was 6%, compared with 16% and 15% among participants aged 30-49 and 50 and older respectively. Of youth participants whose biological sample tested positive for HIV, 33% were unaware of their HIV positive status, compared with 19% of unaware respondents over 30 years of age.
M-Track
M-Track is the national, second-generation HIV surveillance system built on earlier local efforts and focused on gay, bisexual and other MSM in Canada. Men who have ever had sex with another man and who meet the age limit of consent for the given province/territory (age varies by site according to provincial/territorial ethical considerations) are eligible to participate in M-Track.
Summary of descriptive data from M-Track Phase 1 (2005-2007):Footnote 3
Across five sentinel sites 4,838 men participated in Phase 1 of M-Track, of whom 26% were 29 years of age or less.
The majority of all men who participated in M-Track reported multiple male sex partners (i.e. more than one male partner), including oral and/or anal sex, in the 6 months preceding survey administration (64%). Similarly, among youth MSM who participated in M-Track, 66% reported multiple male partners.
Among youth MSM who reported having anal sex with a casual male partnerFootnote* in the previous 6 months, nearly half (48%) reported consistent ("Always") condom use during anal sex (insertive and/or receptive) compared with 45% among M-Track participants over the age of 30.
Most men (86%) who participated in M-Track reported ever having been tested for HIV; among youth MSM this proportion was 75%. Further, among youth MSM who reported that their most recent HIV test was negative, 80% had been tested for HIV in the 2 years preceding survey participation.
Among youth participants who provided a biological sample of sufficient quantity for testing and who completed a questionnaire, the prevalence of HIV was 4%. The overall prevalence of HIV in M-Track Phase 1 was 15%.
Of all M-Track participants whose biological sample tested positive for HIV, 19% were unaware of their HIV-positive status.Footnote† Of youth participants, the proportion unaware of their HIV-positive status was 34%.
Return to footnote* Referrer
A casual partner is a man with whom the respondent had sex only once (a "one night stand" or an encounter in a bathhouse, for example). Casual partners do not include men who received from or gave to the respondent any money, drugs or other goods or services in exchange for sex.

Excludes respondents who did not provide answers to questions regarding HIV testing history.
Summary of Recent Research
In addition to the data gathered through routine and enhanced HIV surveillance, several studies have explored and documented HIV and associated risk factors among youth in Canada. Recent research among youth has provided insight and documented trends in the areas of HIV/ AIDS knowledge and sexual health, patterns in condom use and sexual partners, as well as testing behaviors and other STIs.
Knowledge of HIV/AIDS and sexual health
Research shows that knowledge gaps exist among youth regarding what constitutes risky sexual behaviour.
Between December 2006 and August 2007, the Toronto Teen SurveyFootnote 4 interviewed 1,216 Toronto teens aged 13 to 18 and found that only 62% of youth received sexual health education in school. While almost 92% of youth surveyed had received some form of sexual health education, 8% had had none at all. The survey found that 18% of youth new to Canada reported never having received any sex education. In terms of where youth obtain their sexual health information, 31% of females and 23% of males reported accessing sex information on line. When asked about HIV/AIDS, 78% reported learning about HIV/AIDS in school, but HIV/AIDS remained one of the top three areas they would have liked to learn more about. Youth reported that their questions related to sex were most frequently answered by friends (53%), professionals (43%), mass media (33%), parents (28%), siblings, info lines and semi-professionals.
The 2006 HIV/AIDS Attitudinal Tracking Survey of 303 Canadian youth aged 16-24Footnote 5 found that in response to the question: "How is HIV passed on to another person?", 69% correctly identified intercourse between men, 78% correctly identified unsafe intercourse between a man and a woman, and 30% were aware that sharing needles was a factor associated with the transmission of HIV.
Based on survey data from 64 countriesFootnote ±, the 2008 UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic reported that 40% of males and 38% of females aged 15-24 had accurate and comprehensive knowledge about HIV and about how to avoid transmission.Footnote 6 This percentage is based on the number of young men and women aged 15-24 who both correctly identified ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV and who rejected major misconceptions about HIV transmission. This is an improvement over 2005 knowledge levels but is still well below the global goal of ensuring that 95% of young people have comprehensive HIV knowledge by 2010.
A 2006 survey of 112 Canadian university students aged 17 to 28 who were participating in the Canadian International Model United Nations Conference (CAN- IMUN) in Ottawa found that one-third of the respondents (32.7%) were not concerned about HIV/AIDS when engaging in sexual activity.Footnote 7 Also of note was that almost one-third (31.4%) incorrectly identified the pill as protecting against HIV exposure. Moreover, other strategies incorrectly identified as being able to prevent HIV infection/transmission included pre-ejaculation withdrawal (16.2%), use of spermicides or contraceptive jellies (9.5%) and use of a diaphragm (6.7%).

Inconsistent condom use and sexual partners
Recent research in Canada has also documented low levels of, or inconsistent, condom use among youth, as well as high levels of casual sex and/or multiple sex partners. Certain subgroups of youth (e.g. street-involved or homeless youth) experience greater risk of exposure to HIV.
Sexual Health in Toronto 2007Footnote 8 found that individuals who became sexually active at a younger age were more likely to have multiple partners relative to those who had their first experience at an older age. Although 78% of youth reported condoms as their usual method of birth control, many do not use condoms for every act of intercourse, leaving them vulnerable to pregnancy and STIs.
In the 2006 HIV/AIDS Attitudinal Tracking Survey,Footnote 5 Canadian youth (aged 16 to 24) rated their personal risk of contracting HIV. Most participants (77%) perceived themselves to be at low risk of contracting HIV and 20% at moderate risk. Perceived risk of contracting HIV was higher among youth compared with respondents in other age groups. This is not altogether surprising given that youth in this survey reported the highest number of casual and multiple sex partners. While youth in this study reported the second-lowest rates of being sexually active in the previous 12 months (second only to those aged 65+), they reported the highest rates of having more than one partner. When asked if they had used a condom the last time they had sex, 50% reported that they had not.
Among participants in the 2005-2006 At Risk Youth Study ( n= 529), sexual activity in the previous 6 months was reported by 78.4%; 47.8% reported multiple sex partners and 24.0% reported consistent condom use in the previous 6 months.Footnote 9 Housing status was a strong and independent correlate of both greater numbers of sex partners and inconsistent condom use; living in a shelter or hostel was positively associated with an elevated number of recent sex partners.
A 2009 study of condom use among Canadian youth (n = 2,145) found that youth perceived significant peer pressure that might influence their use of condoms.Footnote 10 Young women may not push for condom use if they feel that doing so might convey sexual knowledge and/or significant sexual experience. Young men (aged 15 to 23) were less likely than young women to discuss sex openly for fear of appearing "foolish, stupid or unmanly". It has been shown that communication with sexual partners about condom use was among the strongest predictors of condom use.Footnote 11
Testing behaviors/access to care
Research in Canada reveals that youth are not consistenly seeking information or services from health care professionals.
The Toronto Teen Survey found that 83% of youth surveyed reported that they had never visited a health care provider for any sexual-health-related reason.Footnote 4
In a 2006 survey of 112 Canadian university students aged 17 to 28, 46% of the respondents indicated they had never seen a health care professional for treatment or information about sexual health.Footnote 7
A 2007 Vancouver and Prince George study involving 543 Aboriginal youth (aged 14-30) who used drugs found that 74% of participants reported having had an HIV test during their lifetime, of whom 46% were tested regularly (i.e. at least once per year).Footnote 12 Overall, 8% of participants were HIV positive.
In a 2004 community-based mixed methods study, a sample of 413 Aboriginal youth (mean age 21.5) from nine Canadian cities completed a survey.Footnote 13The data were collected through 11 community-based organizations, including urban Aboriginal AIDS service organizations and health and friendship centres. The testing rates may not be representative of Aboriginal youth, since some of the recruitment was done in settings that provided HIV testing services. Of the youth surveyed, 50.8% of participants had been tested for HIV ( n = 210) and, of these, 12.4% were HIV positive. The most common reasons for testing were having sex without a condom (43.6%) and being or thinking that they were pregnant (35.4%). The most commonly reported reasons for not getting tested were self-perception of being at low risk of HIV (45.3%) and of not having had sex with an infected person (34.5%). Youth who had been tested for HIV were more likely than those who had not to report a previous STI, a history of injecting drug use or having had anal sex with any partner. The largest percentage of youth (34.1%) had gone to a physician for their most recent HIV test, another 17.1% had gone to a hospital, 14.6% had gone to a community or public health centre and 13.7% had attended a walk-in clinic.
Youth and sexually transmitted infections other than HIV
STIs continue to be a significant and increasing public health concern in Canada. Reported rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis have been rising since 1997. As HIV and other sexually transmitted infections have common routes of transmission (e.g. blood, semen and other bodily fluids), risk behaviours (e.g. unsafe sexual and drug use practices) and risk factors (e.g. poverty, homelessness and overcrowding), increases in rates of STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis are indicators of potential HIV transmission or infection.
In PHAC's 2007 Report on Sexually Transmitted Infections in Canada, the reported rate of chlamydia among females was almost twice as high as that of their male counterparts, and 82.8% of reports were among those under the age of 30.Footnote 14 The overall reported rate of gonorrhoea increased by 124.2% between 1998 and 2007. The majority of reported cases occurred in those under 30 years of age. Females between the ages of 15 and 24 and males between the ages of 20 and 24 accounted for the highest reported rates of gonorrhoea. The overall reported rate of infectious syphilis increased by 516.7% between 1998 and 2007. Reported rates of infection were highest among males aged 30 to 39; among females, highest rates were reported among those 25 to 29 years old. During this period, outbreaks were reported in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and the Yukon among MSM and in heterosexual populations. In 2007, those under 30 years of age accounted for 22.1% of syphilis cases.
HIV/AIDS is affecting certain higher-risk subgroups of the Canadian population, including at-risk youth. Sexual risk behaviour and STI data indicate that the potential for HIV transmission remains significant among young Canadians.
The research findings show that a large proportion of youth are not aware of all HIV modes of transmission. Such knowledge gaps need to be addressed by public health education and prevention programs.
More incidence and prevalence information, as well as trend data on HIV-related risk behaviours, are needed in order to guide and evaluate prevention programs for young Canadians. Further epidemiologic and behavioural data for high-risk youth, such as street youth, are also needed to fully assess the risk of HIVtransmission in Canada's youth population.

McDavid Misses Out on Memorial Cup
By Larry Fisher May 16th, 2015
Friday brought a bittersweet end to Connor McDavid's junior career. His Erie Otters lost in the OHL final, falling in five games to the Oshawa Generals, but McDavid was still named playoff MVP, seen here accepting the Wayne Gretzky '99' Award from OHL commissioner David Branch. | gettyimages.com
There will be no Memorial Cup for Connor McDavid — or, rather, no McDavid for the Memorial Cup.
The consensus top prospect for next month's NHL draft and the biggest draw in junior hockey, McDavid won't be in Quebec City for the CHL's championship tournament beginning Friday. The 18-year-old phenom fell short when his Erie Otters lost to the Oshawa Generals in the OHL final in five games. McDavid had been dominant to that point in the playoffs, racking up 49 points in 20 games — just 2 points shy of the OHL record shared by Justin Papineau (1999) and Jason Dawe (1993). But McDavid didn't go home empty-handed as he won the Wayne Gretzky '99' Award as playoff MVP in defeat. And don't forget McDavid also won world-junior gold with Canada in January, playing a key role as an under-ager coming off a wrist injury to solidify his draft ranking.
With the Edmonton Oilers expected to select McDavid first overall — and likely to make that intention known sooner than later now that his season has concluded — it is a foregone conclusion that McDavid's junior career has come to an end. Just how dominant was the Newmarket, Ont., native over the course of three OHL seasons?
Connor McDavid's illustrious junior career, by the numbers http://t.co/HQ6bHJtLAE pic.twitter.com/plJQ9ZuXkU
— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) May 16, 2015
McDavid's highlight reel — both from the regular season and playoffs, as well as years past — is unrivalled in recent memory. He's considered a generational talent, every bit as good as Sidney Crosby was coming out of junior.
Crosby did, however, carry his Rimouski Oceanic club all the way to the final of the 2005 Memorial Cup with a weaker supporting cast, ultimately losing 4-0 to the host London Knights led by tournament MVP Corey Perry. Crosby did win the top scorer award with 11 points in four games.
That McDavid's team didn't go all the way won't impact his draft position. But it is worth noting that No. 1 picks Taylor Hall (2010, OHL's Windsor Spitfires) and Nathan MacKinnon (2013, QMJHL's Halifax Mooseheads) led their junior teams to Memorial Cup championships in their draft years, both winning the top scorer and MVP honours in those tournaments. Hall, who could be McDavid's linemate in a few months, was actually a two-time MVP of the Memorial Cup, also winning the award as an under-ager in 2009 when his Spitfires teammate Adam Henrique (New Jersey) and Jamie Benn (Dallas), then of the WHL's Kelowna Rockets, tied for top scorer.
Of course, the peanut gallery got some pleasure from McDavid's pain:

So McDavid is out of the playoffs. In a related story, Oiler fans are asking McDavid "What are the playoffs like?".
— Andy Sorensen (@sorensen_andy) May 16, 2015
McDavid's time in the OHL left little reason to hang his head and he'll more than likely get the last laugh.

McDavid will finish his #ohl career with 97 goals. Go figure.
— Matt and DJ (@IceDogsThisWeek) May 16, 2015
For now, McDavid's focus will shift to surviving the draft combine — he may or may not participate in the physical testing — and all the hype until his name is officially called to the stage on June 26 in Sunrise, Fla. Then, as he's already indicated: "The real work begins," as McDavid spends the summer months attempting to bulk up to handle the rigours of the NHL come fall.
The Generals were a "heavier" team and limited McDavid to only one assist in three games in Oshawa, so that'll serve as a blueprint for NHL teams to contain him. Oshawa certainly seemed to wear down McDavid and it won't get any easier next season, matching up against the likes of Ryan Getzlaf and Jonathan Toews in the ultra-competitive Western Conference.
McDavid will have his work cut out for him going forward, but he should be able to enjoy the next month leading up to draft day and look back on his junior career with fond memories. If only he could've capped it off with a Memorial Cup.

Linear network Lifetime has paired with multi-platform prodco Propagate Content to create a steamy new digital series in time for Valentine's Day.
Fall Into Me is a series of short, romantic stories aimed at millennial women.
It launched Feb. 14 on the Snapchat Discover channel for women's magazine Cosmopolitan, following its release on YouTube and its own website.
The series is broken into seven separate stories, each total about 15 minutes in length, and further divided into five-minute video clips. The stories include Measurements, which follows a young wardrobe assistant assigned to fit an A-list actor whom she had a crush on as a teenager, and Cowboy, in which a young fashion photographer falls for a hot rancher while on the job.
But when Lifetime paired with Cosmo for the Discover broadcast on Snapchat, Owen said he was intrigued by the mobile platform's millennial-friendly style.
Snapchat, which hosts video and photo content for 24 hours, is a favorite among millennial and Gen Z mobile users. It boasts a reach of 100 million monthly users and, as of January, sees seven billion video views per day (which falls just short of Facebook's self-reported eight billion daily video views).

US WWII vet in Japan to return flag to fallen soldier family
2 years 5 months 6 days ago Monday, August 14 2017 Aug 14, 2017 August 14, 2017 9:04 PM August 14, 2017 in News

HIGASHISHIRAKAWA, Japan - A U.S. Marine who served in the Pacific during World War II is in a remote village in Japan to return a flag he took from the body of a fallen Japanese soldier 73 years ago.
Marvin Strombo knew the calligraphy-covered flag was more than a keepsake of the war. It was a treasure that would fill a void for the dead man's family, but Strombo didn't know how deep that void was.
The flag he is to hand over to Sadao Yasue's siblings Tuesday will be the first trace of their brother. The Japanese authorities only gave them a wooden box containing a few rocks, a substitution for the remains that have never been returned.
Strombo has said he also plans to explain to them how their brother died.

We've had two important internet law cases coming out of Ontario over the last week or so. I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out which one to write about. After much soul-searching drinking, I've decided to write about both. This is probably a mistake.
Libel! Tweets! Hockey! If there was ever a story the media would come calling to yours truly, it's this one. Quick background for those too lazy to read the linked article – TSN rebroadcast a defamatory tweet on TV. Whoopsie! Said tweet involved two Toronto Maple Leafs and Elisha Cuthbert, and is rated NC-17 for language and sexual situations. Here's some defamation background for you. The players and Cuthbert want to sue TSN and the original tweeter. TSN is owned by Bell, who also partly own the Leafs. Awwwwkward.
Unfortunately still no embeddable video from CTV, so you'll have to click over there to watch it. Please ignore the blinking and "you know"s. Ugh.
Oh and btw, the delightful Marci Ien refers to me as "legal specialist on all things internet, lawyer Allen Mendelsohn" in her intro. Please put that on my tombstone.
If you have read the news in the last couple of weeks, or turned on CBC radio, or listened to talk radio, you may have read some quotes from me or heard the dulcet tones of my voice. I have been media whoring like, well, a media whore. Last week it was the Brian Burke lawsuit. This week it was the sad story of the British Columbia teacher who was totally screwed by his ex-girlfriend online and is still suffering for it. These cases have brought to light the messy ugly side of the internet. Or as some people have argued, a terrible overreaction in the Brian Burke case. Let's use these cases to talk about online defamation, what you should know about it, and the effects on you as both a potential plaintiff and defendant, you cocksucking whore (see what i did there?).
As of today, there will be no electronic communications allowed from Québec courtrooms. Just like in the Middle Ages.

I was really happy with this app, until something happened. I went in and it said it couldn't download my data, and to delete and download again. I tried, then it happened again. I am not going to try again, just clear some stuff off my iPad, and try tomorrow
VIP thing
By alex j THL
Honestly, I like the songs but I could literally sing two songs and then I had to pay to sing by myself. There's a reason I went to my room to sing. I honestly think that the VIP pass shouldn't limit the amount of songs you can sing solo but should instead lock some songs. I also think it's dumb that you have to pay weekly/monthly. In conclusion, I don't think you should limit the amount of songs to sing alone because a lot of people hate singing with other people.
Don't waste your time
By Gbear565
App only allows you to try one song, everything else you have to pay for. Doesn't even give you a shot to see if You're going to like it.
Absolutely Amazing!!

I love this app so much, it's so fun to express you and your singing, having fun group signings or duets and even singing solo. In all it's such a good app i recommend this app to everyone who loves to sing!

Gift Coin Currency...
By ExoticLeo
Uh. What? Why? Okay I get that you want to gift your favourite smulers on here for their creativity.. but in all honesty.. why? We really didn't need to. You're just asking to get more money out of people. Also. I tried to gift someone for FREE, a ZERO coin gift, but it wouldn't let me... not even to someone I follow? I don't understand. Lol. This app makes me happy to sing but sometimes updates like this are soooo stupid. Maybe add some FREE heart reactions during a live jam or something. Be creative and don't take more money than what you already have.
It's great but...
By seaweed brian
I think this is great but they should have more songs. And the vip thing is pretty annoying. I got this app to help with singing but I feel like it's more than that and that's fine. I just think they should have a private account button and maybe more privacy. It would also be nice if you could just put a post that is not just music. I know you can do that if you're a VIP but that cost money to just put a post. But other wise this app is great. You get to sing, chat, and, make friends. You can even sing with special artist and it's super great.
By cat girl 3556
U need vip to sing it's not even fair like the Smule company is so bAd it's like u can't have friends and It's sooo horrid I thought u could sing with out limits and when I get in somtimes it takes me out
By jahnyah_the boss
Stop 🛑 like stop trying to make people pay 💰 for this
By Sydney Ella
smule is a fun app- and it's a really awesome idea, don't get me wrong. but they keep updating things that don't need to be updated and leaving ones that do. i want to be able to hide my part in my own recording. work on fixing the livejam lag and glitching. delete other people's layers in your collab. it's stupid what they've been adding. gifts? not at all necessary. and yet, they ignore things that need help.

ISIL Financed by 40 Countries, Including G20 Member States - Putin
Putin said at the G20 summit that Russia has presented examples of terrorism financing by individual businessmen from 40 countries, including from member states of the G20.
"I provided examples related to our data on the financing of Islamic State units by natural persons in various countries. The financing comes from 40 countries, as we established, including some G20 members," Putin told reporters following the summit.
The fight against terrorism was a key topic at the summit, according to the Russian leader.
"This topic (the war on the terror) was crucial. Especially after the Paris tragedy, we all understand that the means of financing terrorism should be severed," the Russian president said.
Russia has also presented satellite images and aerial photos showing the true scale of the Islamic State oil trade.
#Putin: #ISIS income comes from #oil trade. I showed my colleagues satellite images of endless truck columns. #G20 pic.twitter.com/Dh70rNHjiV
— Russia Direct (@Russia_Direct) November 16, 2015
"I've demonstrated the pictures from space to our colleagues, which clearly show the true size of the illegal trade of oil and petroleum products market. Car convoys stretching for dozens of kilometers, going beyond the horizon when seen from a height of four-five thousand meters," Putin told reporters after the G20 summit.
The Russian president also said that Syrian opposition is ready to launch an anti-ISIL operation if Russia provides air support.
"A part of the Syrian opposition considers it possible to begin military actions against ISIL with the assistance of the Russian air forces, and we are ready to provide that assistance," the Russian president said.
If this happens, the army of Syrian President Bashar Assad, on the one hand, and the opposition, on the other hand, will fight a common enemy, he outlined.
Cooperation With the US
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that the United States has shown a certain willingness to resume cooperation with Russia in several areas.
"It seemed to me that, at least at an expert level, at the level of discussing problems, there was, indeed, a clear interest in resuming work in many areas, including the economy, politics, and the security sphere," Putin told reporters.
Vladimir Putin said that Russia needs support from the US, Saudi Arabia and Iran in the fight against terrorism.
"It's not the time to debate who is more effective in the fight against ISIL, what we need to do is consolidate our efforts," president Putin added.
The Russian president hopes that the work with the G20 colleagues in the fight against terrorism will continue.
"I think that cooperation in fighting terrorism is very important," Vladimir Putin told reporters.
The work to create the list of terrorist organizations in Syria is being carried out on the level of foreign ministers, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday."With regard to Syria, here we should, first of all, decide, and now the foreign ministers are working on this, what groups we consider to be terrorist organizations, and which can be attributed to the armed, but still 'healthy' part of the Syrian opposition," Putin told reporters following the G20 Summit in Antalya, Turkey.
A321 Crash in Sinai
Answering the question about A321 crash in Sinai, the Russian plane crash in Egypt are still being considered, and it is too early to draw a final conclusion, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday."With regard to the crash of our airplane: this is hugely painful for all of us, for the entire Russian people, whatever the cause may be," Putin told reporters.
"All versions are being considered. Final conclusions can be made after examinations have been carried out and completed. What examinations? If there was an explosion, traces of explosives must remain on the airliner, on passengers' belongings," the president added.
Russia Proposes Better Debt Restructuring Option for Ukraine Than IMF
Russia has proposed Ukraine a better option for its $3 billion debt than just moving the pay date, as suggested by the IMF, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday.
"In order not to put Ukraine in a difficult situation, we made, I believe, an unexpected offer to our partners. We not only agreed to the restructuring of Ukraine's debt, but we offered better conditions than the International Monetary Fund asked for. We were asked to move the payment to next year, I said that we were ready for a deeper restructuring," Putin told reporters.
"We are ready not to receive any money this year, but get a billion next year, in 2016, another billion in 2017, and another billion in 2018," the president added.

Former director of global real estate for Amazon shares leadership lessons
Julie Benezet shares her experiences working as the global real estate director for the Internet commerce giant.
Daily Record – by: Mark Basch Contributing Writer
How does the unknown show up?
Former Amazon.com Inc. global real estate executive Julie Benezet spoke about "Navigating the New: Making Constant Change Work for You" last week with the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association, Northeast Florida Chapter. Here are some situations that force change.
Entering a blighted market where land is cheap but paying tenants are hard to find.
Meeting the new CEO of a key client who thinks brokers are useless, since rental rates can be found online and they have lawyers to do deals.
Restructuring your team to move someone into a senior leadership position.
Starting a conversation with someone who scares you to death, but whose brain power you desperately need.
Avoiding telling a business partner (aka your college roommate) goodbye after he screwed up, AGAIN, costing you major money.
Almost two decades before Amazon.com Inc. opened its Jacksonville fulfillment centers, Julie Benezet walked into its Seattle offices to begin her job as its director of global real estate.
"I entered the 21st century on July 30, 1998," Benezet said last week during a talk to the Northeast Florida Chapter of the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association.
Amazon was a 3-year-old company pioneering the then little-used practice of marketing and selling products through the internet.
"What was new then has become usual now, and necessary," Benezet said at the luncheon at the Lexington Hotel & Conference Center Jacksonville Riverwalk on the Southbank. It was attended by 115 members and guests.
Benezet, now a management consultant, was hired by Amazon in 1998 to help the company secure sites for distribution centers to support its planned growth.
According to Amazon's annual reports, the company had an 85,000-square-foot warehouse in Seattle and a 200,000-square-foot facility in Delaware at the beginning of 1998.
By the time Benezet left in 2002, the company had five other fulfillment centers around the U.S. and additional facilities in Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom.
The company now has more than 200 million square feet of fulfillment space in the U.S. and internationally and is one of the world's dominant corporations.
Last year, Amazon opened two fulfillment centers, a sortation center and a delivery station in Jacksonville.
But when Benezet joined, it was venturing into largely unknown territory, which can be frightening for some, she said.
It also presents opportunities, said Benezet, who wrote a book called "The Journey of Not Knowing."
"Scary is great when you're going to a place of discovery, you're going to a place of growth," she said.
One lesson she learned on her first day at Amazon was about dress codes, when she showed up to work in a business suit and saw her colleagues dressed more casually.
She realized no one was dressing to impress.
"The key was working hard, making it fun and making history," she said.
Benezet began finding sites for Amazon at a time when the fundamentals of commercial real estate were changing.
"Real estate is not about bricks and mortar anymore," she said. "It's a different conversation than real estate people are comfortable having."
Years ago, clients wanted to talk about "carpets and paint" in their office sites, but now the conversation is about how businesses do their work and how an office can be set up to accommodate them, she said.
"Real estate is really a metaphor for ideas," Benezet said.
Beyond the real estate industry, Benezet offers four core principles for successful business leaders:
"Pursue dreams to make life better." This isn't about personal dreams, but dreams for your entire team to make everyone's life better.
"Get comfortable with the scariness of risk." One example Benezet gave is opening new residential buildings in Downtown Jacksonville without really knowing how much demand there will be for Downtown housing.
"Watch out for self-sabotaging behavior." An example of this is micromanaging, instead of letting workers do their jobs.
"Find drivers to give you fuel." In other words, find a purpose that will encourage you to meet goals and succeed. That can be as simple as making sure you're staying ahead of the competition.
"You're always looking for something better because that's what your competitor is doing," Benezet said.
