You probably think of food poisoning as something that you might pick up at a greasy-spoon diner or an outdoor barbecue stand. But those aren't the only places you might get food poisoning. The way you handle food in your own kitchen – which, unlike a restaurant, doesn't have to conform to health regulations – can just as easily make you sick.
Food poisoning – a generic term for diseases caused by contamination from bacteria and other pathogens – is a serious problem in the U.S. A 2011 study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that about 9.4 million get sick from known food pathogens each year. Of that number, nearly 56,000 people become so ill they have to go to the hospital, and 1,351 die.
In one 2014 study, University of California-Davis researchers shot video of 120 ordinary people preparing food at home, and what they saw was pretty alarming. Thirty-eight percent didn't wash their hands after touching raw chicken, and even among those who did, only about 10 percent washed for the recommended 20 seconds; a third neglected to use soap [source: Food Safety News].
The scariest thing of all, though, was that almost all the subjects – 84 percent – saw themselves as being knowledgeable about food safety, and 48 percent said they'd even received formal training on how to handle food [source: Food Safety News].
That tells us that it's a good time for a refresher course on food safety in the kitchen. Here are 10 guidelines that we often overlook, to our own peril.
Wash Your Hands Properly
To get rid of germs, you should wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. lofilolo/iStock/Thinkstock
This might seem like the most obvious food-safety practice. But as we explained in the introduction, most people don't bother to do it. And the minority that does wash doesn't do it properly – which might be even more dangerous, because they think they're protecting themselves and their families, when they aren't [source: Food Safety News].
Fortunately, the CDC has developed a detailed set of instructions for exactly how to wash your hands, which is based upon scientific studies. Here are the steps:
Wet your hands with clean, running water – the temperature isn't important – and then turn off the tap.
Apply soap, which lifts the microbes from your skin, and rub your hands together to create a lather. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, your fingers, and under your nails.
Do it for at least 20 seconds – as long as it takes to hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice.
Rinse well and dry your hands with a clean towel.
Don't Taste Food to See If It's Good
It only takes a tiny amount of bacteria to make you ill, so don't sample questionable food to see if it is still safe to eat. Instead rely on government safe-storage data. BananaStock/Thinkstock
Chances are, you've probably taken a bite of something in the fridge that's just a teeny bit past the expiration date, in an effort to see if it's safe to eat the rest of it. If it's gone dangerously bad, it should taste yucky, right? Not necessarily.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are two different types of bacteria that get on and into your food. The first, which are called spoilage bacteria, can grow at low temperatures, even in the refrigerator, and they make the food look and smell bad enough that you won't want to eat it. Oddly, though, these germs usually don't cause illness.
The ones you have to worry about are pathogenic bacteria, which typically don't alter the taste, smell or appearance of food [source: Zeratsky ]. And it only takes a tiny amount of bacteria or another pathogen to make you seriously ill. Instead of a taste test, it's far safer to follow expiration dates on packages, and the federal government's safe storage times for the refrigerator and freezer, which you can find at Foodsafety.gov.
Wash Fruit and Veggies, Even If You're Going to Peel Them
Even though you're not going to eat the banana peel, you should still wash it. tonivaver/iStock/Thinkstock
This probably seems like a recommendation from an obsessive clean-freak who keeps a lifetime supply of hand sanitizer on the kitchen counter, yet still insists upon handling everything with gloves. Why would you need to wash fruit or veggies if you're just going to peel off that nasty skin before you actually eat it? The problem is that when you cut away the unwashed skin and then use the same knife to cut up what's underneath, you actually may be spreading bacteria from the outside to the previously pristine inside [source: Foodsafety.gov].
To wash fruit and veggies properly, stick them under cold running tap water and rinse to remove any lingering dirt, which also reduces the amount of bacteria present. If it's a food item such as an apple or potato that has a firm surface, you can use a scrub brush. Then dry it off thoroughly [sources: USDA, Zander and Bunning].
Bagged vegetables that have been prewashed don't need to be washed again. In fact, you can contaminate the veggies further if your salad bowl or sink is not clean. If you do decide you want to wash bagged salads, wash your hands first for 20 seconds, as described on page 1. Also wash any cutting boards, dishes or salad spinners with hot water before using them for your raw vegetables [source: Foodsafety.gov].
Don't Keep Leftovers in the Fridge for Too Long
Don't wait too long to enjoy those leftovers! Jeremiah Thompson/iStock/Thinkstock
Putting food in the refrigerator should hinder the growth of bacteria, because the enzyme systems that the microbes depend upon to multiply start to slow down when the temperature is reduced. But anything above freezing isn't going to stop bacterial growth completely [source: Brewer]. In fact, refrigerators themselves can easily turn into bacteria farms.
A study of 30 typical European fridges commissioned by Microban, a maker of antimicrobial products, found that some of them contained as many as 129,000 "bacterial colony forming units" per square centimeter [source: Chowdhury]. Positively disgusting, huh? Hopefully, you scrub your fridge out often enough that it's not that bad. But even so, it's not a good idea to leave food in there for too long.
One problem is determining exactly how long is too long, since the life of individual items varies. Raw hamburger, for example, can only be stored for one to two days, while egg salad, for example, is typically safe to eat for three to five days, and bacon and sausage for a week. An unopened package of lunchmeat is good for up to two weeks [source: Foodsafety.gov].
If you're in doubt about a particular food item, consult the website StillTasty.com, which has a database compiled from government shelf-life estimates.
Don't Thaw Food on the Kitchen Counter
Thawing meat on the kitchen counter is not a good idea because bacteria can build up quickly. Peter Anderson/Thinkstock
Have you ever let a frozen chicken thaw on your kitchen counter overnight? Definitely not a good idea, experts say. Even if the core of the bird remains frozen, the meat closest to the surface will thaw out sooner, and bacteria will build up pretty rapidly at temperatures above 40 degrees F (4 degrees C).
That's why food safety experts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommend that you use one of the following four methods for thawing:
Thawing frozen meat in the refrigerator is safe but can be really slow. One pound (454 grams) of ground beef might take a day while a 12-pound (5-kilogram) Thanksgiving turkey might need two-and-a-half days. The good news is you don't have to cook the meat right away; you can leave it in the fridge for a day or two.
If you're in more of a hurry, try cold-water thawing, in which you submerge a sealed bag containing the meat in cold water and change the water every 30 minutes. The meat will thaw in a few hours.
Microwaving frozen meat is an even quicker option – just a few minutes, depending on the cut and the microwave. Be careful not to overdo it or the meat will start to cook. If you use the cold-water method or the microwave you must cook the meat immediately after thawing.
You can actually cook the frozen meat without thawing, and simply increase the cooking time by 50 percent. Whether your dinner will have much flavor is another story.
Don't Undercook Food
Meat must be cooked to the correct internal temperature to kill bacteria. lorenzo gambaro/iStock/Thinkstock
Whether we're cooking chicken or burgers, most of us go by sight, smell or taste to figure out when they're ready to eat. But your senses aren't necessarily reliable indicators. In the University of California-Davis study mentioned in the introduction, 40 percent of the subjects didn't cook chicken long enough to kill dangerous bacteria [source: Food Safety News].
The only way to ensure that you're cooking safely is to use a food thermometer to make sure that the meat reaches the necessary internal temperature. The latter can vary from food to food – from 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for precooked ham to 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) for chicken legs [source: Home Food Safety].
Before using your thermometer, test it with ice water or boiling water to confirm that it gives an accurate reading. When it's time to actually use it, check the temperature of the meat while it's being heated in the skillet or on the grill. Be sure to pick the thickest part of the meat, and don't touch the bone, fat or gristle. And afterward, be sure to wash the thermometer with hot, soapy water [source: Home Food Safety].
Don't Cool Food for Long Before Refrigeration
You don't have to wait for food to completely cool before refrigerating it. monkeybusinessimages/iStock/Thinkstock
It takes about two hours for illness-causing bacteria to grow on perishable food -- and just an hour if the temperature is above 90 degrees F (32 degrees C)[source: Foodsafety.gov]. So stick it in the fridge as soon as possible after cooking it.
There's no need to wait before foods cool down, even if they're really hot, because modern refrigerators are able to handle the strain. However, if you've got a really big item, like a turkey, you'll probably want to cut up the meat and store it in multiple small, flat containers so that it cools more quickly, before bacteria has a chance to develop. (For the same reason, remove the stuffing from the turkey and store it in a separate container.)
Make sure you seal everything, which reduces the chance of cross-contamination. And if you've got leftover canned food, transfer it to a container rather than storing it in an opened tin, because the metal on the rim can leach into the food and give it a metallic taste. Finally, don't stuff the refrigerator too full, because air needs to be able to circulate inside for the fridge to stay cool [sources: Humphreys, Fightbac.org].
Don't Rinse Raw Chicken in the Sink
Don't wash chicken before cooking it; all you're doing is spreading bacteria around your kitchen. Slawomir Fajer/iStock/Thinkstock
You might be thinking that if it's critical to wash vegetables and fruit, then raw poultry ought to be washed, too. Hey, even superstar TV chef Julia Child used to do it. Not to mention an estimated 90 percent of Americans, according to research conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
But as Drexel University associate professor of nutrition sciences Jennifer Quinlan told NPR in 2013, washing chicken and turkey meat is a very bad idea. "There's no reason, from a scientific point of view, to think you're making it any safer and in fact, you're making it less safe," she said. Washing increases the chance that you'll spread the bacteria that's already on the carcass around your kitchen, so that other food may become contaminated with nasty pathogens such as salmonella and campylobacter. These cause an estimated 1.9 million cases of food poisoning annually in the U.S.
If you want to kill off these dangerous bacteria, the surest way to do it is simply to stick the chicken in the oven or into a skillet and cook it to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F or 74 degrees C [source: Godoy].
Don't Use One Cutting Board for Everything
To avoid cross-contamination, have one cutting board for raw meat and fish and another for fruits and vegetables. Pavel Vlasov/Hemera/Thinkstock
If you use the same board for all your cutting, there's a chance that juices from raw meat could accidentally come in contact with other foods that aren't cooked, such as ingredients for salads. That sort of cross contamination could end up making you really, really, sick.
To avoid the problem, be sure to have two cutting boards in your kitchen. Use one for raw meat, poultry and seafood and the other for bread, vegetables that already have been washed, and other ready-to-eat foods. It's a good idea to pick boards that are different colors or shapes, so that you don't confuse them by accident.
After you've used your cutting boards, be sure to wash them in hot, soapy water. As an added precaution, use chlorine bleach or another disinfecting solution to clean the board that you use for meat, poultry and fish, and then rinse it with clean water. (If that sounds too complicated, you also can stick it in the dishwasher.) Remember that cutting boards aren't family heirlooms. Once one starts to develop cracks, crevices and knife scars, it's time to toss it and buy a new one [source: Home Food Safety].
Don't Eat Raw Cookie Dough
Tempting as it can be to eat raw cooke dough, the ingredients have not been certified safe for consumption without baking. Jupiterimages/Photolibrary/Thinkstock
Who hasn't peeked into the fridge, spied a container of cookie dough mix, and been tempted to stick a finger into it to get a little taste? Well, don't give in to the temptation, or else you may succumb to food poisoning as well.
We got some disturbing proof of this in 2009, when 77 people in 30 states got sick after eating a particular brand of packaged raw cookie dough, which turned out to be contaminated with E.coli. Thirty-five people had to be hospitalized, and eventually 3.5 million packages of the dough had to be recalled [sources: Mann, Neil et al.]. That's because raw cookie dough is designed to be baked before it is eaten, and isn't subjected to the same pathogen-eliminating manufacturing processes that ready-to-eat food gets.
"As tempting as it is to sample cookie dough, do not veer from the recommendations on the package," Dr. David Hirschwerk, an infectious disease doctor at North Shore University Long Island Jewish Hospital in Manhasset, New York, told WebMD. If you really, really like the idea of cookie dough, get yourself some cookie dough-flavored ice cream, which is completely safe [source: Jaslow].

Attendance grew for last month's ExCeL-set London show.
50,271 visitors (up 11 per cent) attended the shows – the London Bike Show is co-located with the Triathlon Show: London and the Telegraph Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show. All three are organised by Telegraph Events.
Over 200 exhibitors attended the London Bike Show, including the likes of Madison, Cannondale, Pinarello, Colnago, Enigma, Canyon, Vulpine, Extra UK and Raleigh.
Steve Clark, group show director at Telegraph Events, said: "I am delighted that we have secured two years of significant back to back growth in terms of visitor and exhibitor numbers since VOS Media were bought by the Telegraph Media Group in 2013. The transition to Telegraph Events has helped us grow and improve the quality of our Shows, and with the backing of the Telegraph through an extensive editorial and advertising campaign, we have been able to reach a huge audience of high quality consumers. This year we put together the biggest marketing campaign to date, including TV advertising and sponsorship through Sky Sports and the response has been incredible.
"The team has managed to deliver an incredible line up of exhibitors, special guests and content, which has been highlighted in the fantastic feedback from visitors and exhibitors. The continued co-location with the Triathlon Show: London and The Telegraph Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show helps exhibitors to reach new relevant audiences and tap into markets that were previously unavailable.
Clive Gosling – Marketing Manager, Cycling Sports Group: "The Show was a huge success for Cannondale, GT, Fabric and Sugoi this year. It is going from strength to strength with visitor numbers and the quality of audience is perfect for our brands."
Catherine Litherland – Membership Marketing Manager, British Cycling: "Congratulations on another great Show. This year was stronger than ever and that was reflected in the footfall figures. The performance stage had a great line up, which unquestionably benefited us in driving both traffic to stand and giving us the opportunity to see/hear from some of our cycling heroes! We came away with new members and a bucket load of new prospect data, so all in all very positive."
The London Bike Show, the Triathlon Show: London and The Telegraph Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show will return to ExCeL, London between 11th and 14th February 2016.

On Monday, April 25, Saudi Arabia's Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced that the kingdom would deviate from its dependence on oil. Huffington Post reported that the country has released a blue- print entitled Vision 2030 that seeks to increase Saudi Arabia's non-oil revenue from $43.6 billion to $267 billion by 2030. Prince Mohammed claims that his national transformation program will enable the kingdom to live without oil within four years.
According to Reuters, this will be no small feat — the distribution of oil revenue to client groups has been what has held the country's economy and society together, even more so than conservative religion. Almost three-quarters of the government's budget, especially defense, comes from oil revenues. The new plans would tear up the pre- existing social contract between the ruling al Saud and the kingdom's population, which is, needless to say, very risky, according to Reuters.
The strategy involves the development of other sectors such as mining, manufacturing, retail, tourism, pilgrimage and healthcare. Prince Mohammed is looking to reimagine the country as a logistic hub for East-West trade and as a center for financial services, defense manufacturing and small- to-medium-sized enterprises. This would involve Saudi Arabia selling shares in Aramco and building a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund. The plans also included changes that push for women to have a bigger economic role and that offer green cards to foreign Arabs and Muslims. While the prince claims that improvements in government efficiency and restructuring are key to attaining this goal, Reuters is one of many critics contending that the prince is being naïve in thinking it would be this simple.
John Kemp, a Reuters market analyst, said that "true diversification requires developing industries which have nothing to do with the extraction of oil and spending of oil-related revenue." In other words, while pilgrimage may work, the proposed transformation into a center for finance, logistics and manufacturing would be incredibly difficult. Kemp advised that Saudi Arabia's rulers must first make their country more attractive to outside companies so they can be able to compete with other simpler alternatives like the United Arab Emirates. The Economist suggested that in order to attract investment, the government should create a more trustworthy image; they should clarify the privatization plans for their utilities and show how they can balance their books.

Q: Iterate through #defines I have a config file in my application like below. This config need to be done before build the program.
#define NO_OF_COLORS 8

#define COLOR_RESPONCE_1 'R'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_2 'G'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_3 'B'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_4 'M'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_5 'C'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_6 'Y'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_7 'O'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_8 'P'

Inside a class I need to add these set of values to a std::vector. Is there a way to iterate through these defines. May be using a macro?

A: You can use the Boost.Preprocessor library.  It provides macros that simulate control constructs and data structures for the prepropcessor. E.g. you can iterate over your colors like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/preprocessor.hpp>

#define NO_OF_COLORS 8

#define COLOR_RESPONCE_1 'R'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_2 'G'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_3 'B'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_4 'M'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_5 'C'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_6 'Y'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_7 'O'
#define COLOR_RESPONCE_8 'P'

#define PRINT_COLOR(z, x, _)                    \
  std::cout << BOOST_PP_CAT(COLOR_RESPONCE_, x) << std::endl;

int main()
{
  BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO(1, NO_OF_COLORS, PRINT_COLOR, 0);
}

BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO simulates loop with counter, PRINT_COLOR macro implements the loop body.
Personally I would use Boost.Preprocessor only if I have no other choice.  It only simulates control constructs and have a number of limitations (e.g. on a number of loop iterations), also debugging preprocessor code is no simpler than heavy template code.
A note on style. Although preprocessor is inherited from C and is necessary for separate (and also conditional) compilation, it is alien to modern C++, in fact is alien even for pre-98 C++.  If you need constants you can and should define them with const, enum (or even better with enum class) or constexpr.  These constants can be put in namespaces to avoid name clashes, they can be guaranteed to be initialized only once (extern const).

A: There is no way you can iterator through macros. Pre-processor compilation may be multi-phase, but the names itself would be resolved in first pass (of preprocessing) only.
Better if you do this way:
const char Colors[] = {'R','G','B','C','M','Y','O','P'};

And then use sizeof(Colors) / sizeof(Colors[0]) to find number of elements in this array. Iterate using a loop:
for(size_t index = 0; index < sizeof(Colors) / sizeof(Colors[0]); ++index)
{}

Or, if you are using C++11 compiler, which support range-based for loops, you may use:
for(char color : Colors)
{
   // Use 'color'
}

More simply:
for(auto color : Colors)
{
   // Use 'color'
}

A: Why not just store these in a std::string rather than a std::vector?
const std::string COLDATA = "RGBMCYOP";

You still get to access it like a std::vector using indexing []:
COLDATA[3]; // == 'M'

Or if you still want to put that in a vector you can do so like this:
const std::vector<char> COLDATAVEC(COLDATA.begin(), COLDATA.end());

If you are using C++11 you can put it into a std::vector without using a std::string:
const std::vector<char> COLDATAVEC = {'R', 'G', 'B', 'M', 'C', 'Y', 'O', 'P'};

A: Define your own iterating machinery (limited to 10 iterations):
#define ITER_0(MACRO, ACTION, DATA)
#define ITER_1(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_0(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##1, DATA)
#define ITER_2(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_1(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##2, DATA)
#define ITER_3(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_2(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##3, DATA)
#define ITER_4(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_3(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##4, DATA)
#define ITER_5(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_4(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##5, DATA)
#define ITER_6(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_5(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##6, DATA)
#define ITER_7(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_6(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##7, DATA)
#define ITER_8(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_7(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##8, DATA)
#define ITER_9(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_8(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##9, DATA)
#define ITER_10(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_9(MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ACTION(MACRO##10, DATA)

#define ITER_I(ITERS, MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_##ITERS(MACRO, ACTION, DATA)
#define ITER(ITERS, MACRO, ACTION, DATA) ITER_I(ITERS, MACRO, ACTION, DATA)

Define actions that will get invoked on each iteration:
#define PRINT(MACRO, DATA) std::cout << MACRO;
#define ADD_TO_VECTOR(MACRO, DATA) DATA.push_back(MACRO);

Use those actions like below:
std::vector<char> v;
ITER(NO_OF_COLORS, COLOR_RESPONCE_, ADD_TO_VECTOR, v)

ITER(NO_OF_COLORS, COLOR_RESPONCE_, PRINT, ~)

DEMO

A: It seems you want to iterate over an enumeration. C++ does not support this (other languages, such as Java do have this behavior by default. To work around this, you want to create a data structure that is iterable, constant in length, and well defined, so it is easy to maintain.
For, example you can store the data in an std::array (or before c++11 std::tr1::array)
const std::array<BYTE,8> Colors = { { 'R','G','B','C','M','Y','O','P' } };

The std::array has iterators, and a size() operator. So you can do
for( std::array<BYTE,8>::const_iterator itr = Colors.begin();
     itr != Colors.end();
     ++itr )
{
    // use (*itr)
}

or if you want the index
for( std::size_t index = 0 ; index < Colors.size() ; ++index )
{
    // use Colors[i]
}

and in c++11 you can use:
for( auto color : Colors )
{
     // use color
}

You can also copy them to an std::vector by:
std::vector<BYTE> Colors_vector( Colors.begin(), Colors.end() );

First gameplay footage of ZombiU
June 15, 2012 / Carlos Hernandez
Yea, thinking the same thing - Horrible title, but believe it or not, this is one of the few interesting Wii U games coming exclusively to Nintendo's next console. Ubisoft's ZombiU is obviously a survival horror game that capitalizes the unique features in the Wii U GamePad. Since Nintendo is dumping all the attention to that large controller rather than the console itself, I'm not surprised that the first batch of games are trying to apply the Wii U's unique features. With ZombiU, this is pretty much a first look at what games would look like for core gamers. It looks promising. Check out 10 minutes of gameplay footage.
ZombiU Gameplay
The second screen on your controller fits perfectly for this game. The fact that your checking your inventory, looting corpses, and picking locks in the Wii U controller's small screen creates more tension and fear to the game. It's a survival horror after all. Focusing on the task at hand on the small screen, but actually checking the big screen if any zombie is coming close to you. Should have been nerve-wracking for the player in the video. I also like the fact that you go to third person view while using the Wii U controller, then heads back to first person when done.
E3 Wii U Controller trailer
ZombiU is looking good. The problem is, the gameplay shown again brings the biggest concern with the Wii U console -Is it stronger or weaker than the PS3 or Xbox 360?? Yes, it's a big step up, but the Wii U is considered a next-gen console, the successor to the successful Wii console. From what I'm hearing, the Wii U could be stronger or weaker than current consoles. With how ZombiU looks at this point, it seems weaker. Hopefully there is a lot more developers can dish out in the system as years go by, because its visuals are a bit underwhelming.

But thanks to ZombiU, I now have one reason to buy the Wii U at this point.

With summer upon us, the sun is warming the air, and thoughts are turning to ways of beating the heat. For many, the thought of and ice cold, refreshing Coca Cola Classic seems like a great way to cool down on a hot summer day. It is true that I have often used Coke myself in the summer. That was before I realized how crazy it was.
Consider this: there is another dark brown beverage whose carbon-dioxide bubbles froth up pleasantly as it is poured into a glass. It hails from Ireland, and is sold commercially as Guinness at many of this world's finest pubs.
That can of Coke you have been craving will add 155 calories to your daily caloric intake, while an equivalent serving of Guinness weighs in at a paltry 133 calories, a net saving of 22 calories for each Coke you forego in favor of Guinness. Let's say, for arguments sake, you would normally drink 2 Cokes per day to cool down. With summer being about 90 days long, you will save enough calories by drinking Guinness instead to account for a whole pound of body mass!
Don't like Guinness? Other beer will work too. Corona and Keith's each come in at 10 calories less per equivalent serving than Coke. You won't quite lose a pound over the summer, but you will still be doing your body a favor.
Don't like beer at all? Try cooling down with a refreshing chilled chardonnay then. While per equivalent volume, you are worse off, a 4-ounce glass of chardonnay has only about 90 calories. The choice should be obvious.
In addition to the caloric savings, you must also take into consideration the health benefits of drinking beer vs. drinking Coca Cola. While the medical community has acknowledged that beer and wine both have long-term benefits, I have yet to see any research indicating Coke is good for you in any way.
So, this summer don't buy into the hype that the pride of Atlanta shoves in your face everywhere, instead reach for a Guinness, relax, and enjoy the sun.
Hello blog, it's me, Andrew. I am here to confess. I have been cheating on you. You see, a few months ago I got turned on to Facebook, and it was so fresh and new and hot, and all my friends were doing it too. It just seemed so right.
And don't think you haven't benefited in some way. My Google stats indicate that many of my long-lost friends make their way from Facebook over here to check you out. Of course you probably realized that without fresh content they are unlikely to come back.
With that in mind, I just wanted to let you know that I am still here, and I will try not to ignore you for three straight months again. I may even make an effort to fill you in on what's been going on since I last stopped by. That is if you will forgive me.
I am a native Nova Scotian who has recently settled in Vancouver to start the next chapter of my life. This blog contains some personal anecdotes and a bit of play-by-play on what's going on in my life. I hope you enjoy it.


Technology is, for better or for worse, becoming a dominant force in healthcare. Everything from once contentious but now widely accepted electronic health records to wearables to patient portals have changed the way providers look after their patients and the way patients manage their own care in partnership with their doctors. The digitization of healthcare is a reality and one that is arguably streamlining things like patient intake, record sharing, patient tracking and treatment.
Technology's reach in practices and hospitals touches everything from patient intake to record keeping to testing and treatment. It's undeniable that there have been huge transformations and advancements in healthcare thanks to technology, and these are being readily embraced by doctors, hospitals, specialists and other providers. And the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has reported that patients themselves prefer providers who utilize technology. But while innovations like EHRs have been shown to deliver better healthcare outcomes by reducing errors and telehealth is cutting costs on both sides of the examination table (while improving outcomes), the potential for mishaps is still there.
Here are five ways practices and hospitals can make sure providers and patients are benefitting from new technologies without being put at risk.
1. Stay on top of what's out there. Telehealth, wearables for home monitoring and gamification of self care are just three of the tech solutions making a big splash in the medical sphere right now, but in a week or even a day that will change because innovation is near continuous in the technology space. Always be on the lookout for new approaches to technology integration that can benefit patients or the practice.
2. Share and share alike. One of the big advantages of EHRs is sharability – practices and specialists who regularly work together can benefit from interconnected data access. When appropriate, patient data can be automatically transferred to partner providers without the necessity of phone calls, faxing or dealing with patient requests.
3. Make sure patients are connected. Now that carriers like T-Mobile are including free 4G LTE for tablet users, it makes more sense than ever to set up and make use of a patient portal. These DIY communication hubs let anyone with an iPad, smartphone or computer access their own medical records, make appointments and even ask providers questions. According to Medical Economics, this online option for communication has been shown to both improve quality of care and increase patient satisfaction.
4. Make sure all patient information and office records are protected. With so many data breaches making news it's important that any adoption of new technology comes with secure data practices. That includes simple solutions like requiring frequent password changes for employees and high-tech safeguards like encrypting all protected health information.
5. Encourage patient participation in technological initiatives. The easier it is for patients to sign up for a patient portal, the more likely they are to do it. If telehealth meetings or examinations are available, let patients know. And if home monitoring is an appropriate solution, do what it takes to be sure that patients understand how to set up and use the equipment so accurate clinical data is being collected.
Every day, technology is becoming a more fundamental and from a patient point of view, expected element of healthcare. And every year, patient care, self care and practice management becomes simpler while simultaneously growing in complexity when viewed from the inside. But that's no reason to avoid technological solutions. Manage technology properly and not only can it lead to better quality of care, but better outcomes, too.

Isaak Moiseevich Yaglom[1] (Russian: Исаа́к Моисе́евич Ягло́м; 6 March 1921 – 17 April 1988)[2] was a Soviet mathematician and author of popular mathematics books, some with his twin Akiva Yaglom.
Yaglom received a Ph.D. from Moscow State University in 1945 as student of Veniamin Kagan.[3] As the author of several books, translated into English, that have become academic standards of reference, he has an international stature. His attention to the necessities of learning (pedagogy) make his books pleasing experiences for students. The seven authors of his Russian obituary recount "…the breadth of his interests was truly extraordinary: he was seriously interested in history and philosophy, passionately loved and had a good knowledge of literature and art, often came forward with reports and lectures on the most diverse topics (for example, on Alexander Blok, Anna Akhmatova, and the Dutch painter M. C. Escher), actively took part in the work of the cinema club in Yaroslavl and the music club at the House of Composers in Moscow, and was a continual participant of conferences on mathematical linguistics and on semiotics."[4]

University life[edit]
Yaglom started his higher education at Moscow State University in 1938. During World War II he volunteered, but due to myopia he was deferred from military service. In the evacuation of Moscow he went with his family to Sverdlovsk in the Ural Mountains. He studied at Sverdlovsk State University, graduated in 1942, and when the usual Moscow faculty assembled in Sverdlovsk during the war, he took up graduate study. Under the geometer Veniamin Kagan he developed his Ph.D. thesis which he defended in Moscow in 1945. It is reported that this thesis "was devoted to projective metrics on a plane and their connections with different types of complex numbers a + j b {\displaystyle a+jb} (where j j = − 1 {\displaystyle jj=-1} , or j j = + 1 {\displaystyle jj=+1} , or else j j = 0 {\displaystyle jj=0} )."[4]
Institutes and titles[edit]
During his career, Yaglom was affiliated with these institutions:[4]
Moscow Energy Institute (1946) – lecturer in mathematics
Moscow State University (1946 – 49) – lecturer, department of analysis and differential geometry
Orekhovo-Zuevo Pedagogical Institute (1949–56) – lecturer in mathematics
Lenin State Pedagogical Institute (Moscow) (1956–68) – obtained D.Sc. 1965
Moscow Evening Metallurgical Institute (1968–74) – professor of mathematics
Yaroslavl State University (1974–83) – professor of mathematics
Academy of Pedagogical Sciences (1984–88) – technical consultant
Affine geometry[edit]
In 1962 Yaglom and Vladimir G. Ashkinuse published Ideas and Methods of Affine and Projective Geometry, in Russian. The text is limited to affine geometry since projective geometry was put off to a second volume that did not appear. The concept of hyperbolic angle is developed through area of hyperbolic sectors. A treatment of Routh's theorem is given at page 193. This textbook, published by the Ministry of Education, includes 234 exercises with hints and solutions in an appendix.
English translations[edit]
Isaac Yaglom wrote over 40 books and many articles. Several were translated, and appeared in the year given:
Complex numbers in geometry (1968)[edit]
Translated by Eric J. F. Primrose, published by Academic Press (N.Y.). The trinity of complex number planes is laid out and exploited. Topics include line coordinates in the Euclidean and Lobachevski planes, and inversive geometry.
Geometric Transformations (1962, 1968, 1973, 2009)[edit]
The first three books were originally published in English by Random House as part of the series New Mathematical Library (Volumes 8, 21, and 24). They were keenly appreciated by proponents of the New Math in the U.S.A., but represented only a part of Yaglom's two-volume original published in Russian in 1955 and 56. More recently the final portion of Yaglom's work was translated into English and published by the Mathematical Association of America. All four volumes are now available from the MAA in the series Anneli Lax New Mathematical Library (Volumes 8, 21, 24, and 44).
A simple non-euclidean geometry and its physical basis (1979)[edit]
Subtitle: An elementary account of Galilean geometry and the Galilean principle of relativity. Translated by Abe Shenitzer, published by Springer-Verlag. In his prefix, the translator says the book is "a fascinating story which flows from one geometry to another, from geometry to algebra, and from geometry to kinematics, and in so doing crosses artificial boundaries separating one area of mathematics from another and mathematics from physics." The author's own prefix speaks of "the important connection between Klein's Erlanger Program and the principles of relativity."
The approach taken is elementary; simple manipulations by shear mapping lead on page 68 to the conclusion that "the difference between the Galilean geometry of points and the Galilean geometry of lines is just a matter of terminology".
The concepts of the dual number and its "imaginary" ε, ε2 = 0, do not appear in the development of Galilean geometry. However, Yaglom shows that the common slope concept in analytic geometry corresponds to the Galilean angle. Yaglom extensively develops his non-Euclidean geometry including the theory of cycles (pp. 77–79), duality, and the circumcycle and incycle of a triangle (p. 104).
Yaglom continues with his Galilean study to the inversive Galilean plane by including a special line at infinity and showing the topology with a stereographic projection. The Conclusion of the book delves into the Minkowskian geometry of hyperbolas in the plane, including the nine-point hyperbola. Yaglom also covers the inversive Minkowski plane.
Probability and information (1983)[edit]
Co-author: A. M. Yaglom. Russian editions in 1956, 59 and 72. Translated by V. K. Jain, published by D. Reidel and the Hindustan Publishing Corporation, India. The channel capacity work of Claude Shannon is developed from first principles in four chapters: probability, entropy and information, information calculation to solve logical problems, and applications to information transmission. The final chapter is well-developed including code efficiency, Huffman codes, natural language and biological information channels, influence of noise, and error detection and correction.
Challenging Mathematical Problems With Elementary Solutions (1987)[edit]
Co-author: A. M. Yaglom. Two volumes. Russian edition in 1954.
Felix Klein and Sophus Lie (1988)[edit]
Subtitle: The evolution of the idea of symmetry in the 19th century. In his chapter on "Felix Klein and his Erlangen Program", Yaglom says that "finding a general description of all geometric systems [was] considered by mathematicians the central question of the day."[5] The subtitle more accurately describes the book than the main title, since a great number of mathematicians are credited in this account of the modern tools and methods of symmetry.
In 2009 the book was republished by Ishi Press as Geometry, Groups and Algebra in the Nineteenth Century. The new edition, designed by Sam Sloan, has a foreword by Richard Bozulich.

A Victory V92C TC frozen into a block of ice four years ago has been thawed and restarted with a battery being the only new part needed.
Perhaps even more impressive: the bike had more than 186,000 miles on the clock.
The Victory motorcycle had been purchased by Sweden's Icehotel and frozen into a block of ice in 2011. After four years, however, the hotel decided to set the block of ice out in the sun and let it thaw naturally.
At that point, the bike was handed over to Victory's European division, who took it to Sweden-based Stonetown Customs for a tune up. After only an hour of work, which involved replacing the fuel, oil, air filter and battery among other things, the bike finally fired to life and was able to be ridden.
Meanwhile, the 2002 V92C TC had suffered plenty of abuse even before it was given the Han Solo treatment. It had started its life as a "shaker" bike at Polaris' R&D facility in the United States. After doing the equivalent of 300,000 km (186,411 miles) on the shaker rig it had been shipped to Sweden to allow mechanics there to understand the workings of Victory machines.
"That means the engine has probably been disassembled a couple hundred times," said Niklas Frisk of Victory Europe.
Needless to say, Victory are delighted by the bike's incredible durability. The mechanics who helped bring the V92C back to life were equally impressed.
"To torture a bike like this and it still works after being in ice and water for so long is really amazing," said Stonetown Customs owner Andreas Sedin.

Q: Words to describe a young adult or teen who behaves recklessly and won't listen to advice from older people I'm looking for a word (formal, informal, or even slang) to describe a young person who  behave recklessly, like to mess around and often get into trouble with people, don't listen to advice from older people, and has shallow thinking.
People in my country have a word which can be translated into "bullheaded kid" but I find it a bit weird so I want to find a proper word for it.

A: Troublemaker - someone who intentionally causes problems for other people, especially people who are in a position of power or authority:

He is a troublemaker with a rough and careless manner.
He is a troublemaker at times, but he mostly agrees that his sister is
  the weird one.

Source: the Cambridge Dictionary
A synonym for troublemaker is mischief-maker:
If you say that someone is a mischief-maker, you are criticizing them for saying or doing things which are intended to cause trouble between people (the Collins Dictionary):

The letter had come from an unknown mischief-maker.
The chief among his playmates, he became the mischief-maker of the
  place.

Depending on the context, "problem child" may also be used to describe any child (as well as an employee, sibling, or friend) that is constantly getting into trouble but you are somewhat obligated to care for or help:

You know, if you want people to stop treating you like a problem
  child, stop causing problems.
She's been a problem child since puberty.

A: Juvenile Delinquent

Even kids can run afoul of the law. Once this happens, and a child enters the criminal justice system, he or she may be deemed a "juvenile delinquent."
  Juvenile delinquents are minors, usually defined as being between the ages of 10 and 18, who have committed some act that violates the law. These acts aren't called "crimes" as they would be for adults. Rather, crimes committed by minors are called "delinquent acts."

A: Tearaway

[noun] A person who behaves in a wild or reckless manner.
'some young tearaways set fire to the house'

A: hellion TFD

A mischievous, troublesome, or unruly person.
  informal US a rough or rowdy person, esp a child; troublemaker.

Mick Shots: Talk About Living Right These Days
Mickey Spagnola
DallasCowboys.com Columnist
FRISCO, Texas – Jerry Jones has never liked the word lucky. Has always gone out of his way to explain good fortune and fortuitous. He did it again here Wednesday at the Ford Center during Mike McCarthy's introductory press conference before nearly 200 people at the Ford Center.
Jerry reminded everyone, mostly tongue-in-cheek, how smart he was when he first bought the Cowboys in 1989 after the Cowboys had gone 3-13 in 1988, saying, "I looked smart, very smart." So, the Cowboys had the first pick in the draft in Jerry's first draft. The Cowboys were in dire need of a quarterback, Jimmy Johnson knowing Danny White's days were numbered, his fractured wrist in 1986 robbing him of an ability to put zip on the ball. And he wasn't wild about Steve Pelluer.
And Jerry's timing was impeccable. Because the projected No. 1 pick in the draft was some guy named Troy Aikman, the only QB taken in the first round that year. And the Cowboys actually made their pick before the draft even started.
Troy Aikman.
"Those combination of things can make you look real smart when that timing of things comes together," Jerry said.
His point being, how fortunate are the Cowboys when deciding they need a new head coach, wanted one preferably with head coaching experience, one with NFL head coaching experience, one that had been successful, one that had not been out of the game for long and, this being that key thing:
McCarthy checked off every one of those boxes.
"Yes, we needed Mike, we needed a coach, but to have his availability and to have his track record, to check all the boxes I was talking about," Jones said, "was fortuitous for this franchise."
True that, real luck . . . er, fortuitous.
How's that for a shot, with so many more to come.
Wednesday's Special: Sure sounds like McCarthy has a lot of antennas out there in the National Football League, a lot of connections in this coaching profession. Also sounds like he had planned ahead for whoever hired him next how he wanted to put a staff together. Guarantee you it just didn't dawn on him to call Mike Nolan on Saturday to see if he wants to be his defensive coordinator. And same with John Fassel, expected to be his special teams coach – like, one of the best special teams coaches in the league, with a huge track record. And as Bill Parcells would say, the other side of that pancake is, evidently these types of guys want to work for McCarthy, too.
Never Easy: Jerry Jones was very gracious in his parting comments during the press conference on letting Jason Garrett go, and sounds as if Jason was dealing with it best he could, Jerry saying his ninth-year head coach having good things to say about the impending McCarthy choice. This reminds of near the end of the 1997 season, when the Cowboys were on the tail end of a five-game losing streak that left the Cowboys 6-10 and time for Barry Switzer to move on. Remember talking in the hallway one day at The Ranch with offensive coordinator Ernie Zampese when he brought this up, basically saying, we're all out of here. I was like, you, too? And Ernie, ever the blunt, hard-edged assistant coach, says, oh sure. Sometimes your message gets stale. They quit listening to you. Well, he was right. His four-year run with the Cowboys had run out once the Cowboys hired Chan Gailey to replace Switzer. I think Jason understood.
Marinelli Madness: One of the benefits of this job is actually getting to know guys beyond the game of football, just like Ernie. Rod Marinelli was one of those guys, too. Been with the Cowboys these past seven seasons, first as the defensive line coach and then the defensive coordinator. His sense of history, both of the country and football is absolutely amazing. Just listening to his stories. His days at California Lutheran working Cowboys training camps in Thousand Oaks. His trip to France, doing the D-Day invasion tour through Normandy. His time in Vietnam. On and on. Sure sorry to see him go. Learned a lot of football from him over his stay (2013-2019). Most of all, how he was a standup guy, win or lose. Or even when losing a job, making a point the other day of stopping to shake hands while on his way out. Rod turned 70 this year. Has been coaching, college and NFL, for 44 years uninterrupted. Yet, told me even though he's obligated to start taking Social Security at 70, he's not about to retire. Has a few irons in the fire for his 45th season. The NFL needs more Rods.
Coaching Legacy: Talk about following in your father's footsteps. Nolan, expected to be named the defensive coordinator on McCarthy's staff, will become the first son of a former Cowboys coach to work for the franchise. His pops, Dick Nolan, spent 15 seasons with the Cowboys as an assistant coach: 1962-66 as Tom Landry's defensive backs coach; 1982-85 as the Cowboys wide receivers coach; and 1986-90 as the defensive backs coach, including those final two seasons on Jimmy Johnson's staff. Another unique note on the Nolans, as far as I can tell, they are the only father-son combo to become the head coach of the same NFL team. Father Dick was the San Francisco 49ers head coach from 1967-75. Son Mike was head coach of the 49ers from 2005-08.
Want Moore: Sounding as if Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will be retained by McCarthy. And why not. In his first year as coordinator, the Cowboys this season led the league averaging 431.5 yards and 27.1 points a game. In fact, this was his first year ever calling plays, well, since playing for his father in high school. Now how much might he be coordinating? Interesting remark from McCarthy during a December interview with NBC Sports' Peter King at his home just outside Green Bay when asked what he might change if he gets another head coaching opportunity, he said, "If you're going to call the offense, if you're going to be the play-caller on Sunday then you need to be the major installer on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That's something that I got away from the second half of my career there in Green Bay." Stay tuned, McCarthy saying it's too early to say.
You're Fired: Celebrate if that never has happened to you. Not a good feeling. Ultimate rejection, and certainly takes some time to let the bitterness go. But McCarthy, in that same interview with King, nearly a year after the Packers parted ways with their head coach after 13 seasons, with just four games remaining in the 2018 season, seemed to have processed through that period of his life, with this healthy response: "I think the phrase, be better not bitter, is something that really applies to where I am today." And then there was this before he ever conducted an interview over the previous week and before the Cowboys brought him in for interviews over this past weekend when asked how he feels after a year out of coaching, "I think I'm more rejuvenated." Exactly what Jerry wanted to year. Hey. Exactly what you wanted to hear.
And finally, that is for now, cuz got many more shots to take where these come from: There seemed to be this preoccupation among members of the media that a top-notch head coach would not want to work for the Cowboys because of this tired narrative of Jones being meddlesome, that the coach wouldn't have a hand in putting his staff together. Well, McCarthy threw those proponents of that narrative for a loop when asked about his projected ability to work with Jones.
"I think the best statement that was said over and over in the interview is, 'We're going to make _we_ decisions . . . I'm excited as a head coach that I'll probably have more input than I've had in the past, he said.
"The _we_ decisions in personnel was stated over and over, and that's all you can ask for as a head coach."
Hmmm, any more questions?

With 2018 marking 10 years of luxury expedition cruising for Silversea and its guests, the industry-leading cruise line takes the opportunity to highlight an array of polar expedition itineraries for winter 2019 and summer 2019/2020. The voyages will enable guests to travel deeper into the otherworldly landscapes of both Polar Regions, in ultimate comfort, as they journey closer to the authentic beauty of the world.
The rarely visited volcanic island of Jan Mayen, a haven for humpback and minke whales who feed in its waters, is among the attractions of the 14-day Silver Cloud voyage, departing on 18th June. This voyage sails from Reykjavik to Tromsø, and explores a host of bucket-list destinations in Iceland and Svalbard, Norway.
Isolated Bear Island in the Svalbard archipelago, a nature reserve of steep cliffs and some of the largest bird colonies in the northern hemisphere offers opportunities for guests to spot puffins, guillemots, black-legged kittiwakes, and other remarkable seabirds. Two 10-day voyages aboard Silver Cloud, departing on 2nd July and 12th July, will incorporate stops in this spectacular destination and will focus on Norway's extraordinary Svalbard region, with its stunning fjords, glaciers, and wildlife.
Silversea's first crossing of the Northeast Passage — a legendary sea route through the Arctic Circle, along the coastline of Asia and Europe. The voyage departs on 10th August from Nome for a 25-day journey to Tromsø aboard Silver Explorer. This unique itinerary encompasses the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wrangel Island, where polar bears and walrus roam and migratory birds nest; Champ Island, known for its otherworldly landscape; Tikhaya Bay's Rubini Rock, with its stunning basalt columns; the archipelago of Severnaya Zemlya, famous for its impressive fjords and majestic glaciers; and the northernmost archipelago in the arctic, Franz Josef Land, with its historically important sites.
The route of the Norse in their explorations of Greenland will be traced by a pair of expeditions: Silver Cloud's 12-day voyage between Reykjavik and Kangerlussuaq will depart on 14th August, while Silver Explorer's 15-day sailing from Reykjavik to St. John's (Newfoundland) will depart on 20th September. These history-focused itineraries also offer opportunities to spot whales, witness massive glaciers and be awed by dramatic landscapes.
Explorer John Franklin's ill-fated search for the Northwest Passage is at the heart of Silver Cloud's 26th August, roundtrip sailing from Kangerlussuaq. This 16-day Explorer's Collection voyage is designed for history buffs with an interest in the great age of polar exploration, as well as those who appreciate untouched scenery, majestic fjords and exceptional wildlife.
The world's longest fjord, Scoresby Sund, is among the highlights of Silver Explorer's 5th September expedition from Tromsø to Reykjavik. The 15-day adventure weaves together the glacial treasures of the Svalbard Archipelago with the delights of isolated East Greenland.
The possibility of witnessing the northern lights is offered aboard Silver Cloud's sailing from Kangerlussuaq to Quebec, departing on 11th September. The 14-day journey is timed to optimise guests' chances of glimpsing this spellbinding celestial phenomenon, along with other wonders of nature.

Who said that private America wouldn't re-leverage itself again?
Morgan Stanley thinks we're on the cusp of substantial private loan growth, since household balance sheets have stabilised and corporations have massively de-levered.
New era for households does not mean no borrowing: Private credit demands are poised to rebound, as consumers have substantially repaired their balance sheets, Corporate America will likely soon start to accumulate inventories and boost capex, and credit availability continues to improve. This modest rebound and massive Treasury borrowing needs will put significant upward pressure on real yields over 2010-11.
Corporate financing inflection point arrives: Corporate external financing needs are likely to turn positive soon as companies begin to accumulate inventory and increase capex, and as the growth in corporate cash flow slows. The combination is apt to boost corporate credit demands, perhaps sooner than expected.
This growth in private demand, which would be refreshing after we've had simply government demand for so long, could start to pull up in real Treasury yields since there could be more supply of debt.
Supply-demand balance points to higher yields: Treasury yields have remained low partly because of minimal competition from private borrowers. That's about to change. Coupled with growing concerns about the sustainability of US fiscal policy, we think that this shift will promote significant increases in real yields this year.


Similar projects to deliver cloud based streamed gaming experiences already exist at Google (Project Stream), Nvidia (Geoforce Now) and Sony (Playstation Now) amongst others and both Amazon and Verizon are rumoured to be developing offerings. This is big news for gamers and advertisers alike. First announced towards the end of last year, xCloud removes the need for an expensive gaming unit and instead promises to unlock console quality gaming on any device by allowing you to stream high-end video games anytime, anyplace and on any device.
Project xCloud aims to lower the barrier to entry to high quality gaming and enable brands to reach new audiences. For advertisers, more games and more gamers means more opportunities whether that is bespoke game creation, in-game purchases or content creation around games. The global gaming market was estimated to be worth $137.9bn in 2018 (Newzoo), with over half of that coming from Asia. In-game revenue, which is very hard to quantify, is a huge business globally with brands able to enhance gameplay by offering often unique and limited edition brand content in-game.
xCloud and the other cloud-based gaming projects could also finally see the rise of VR gaming into the mainstream. VR has had two main hurdles; the cost of the hardware and the lack of good, high quality content. New VR gaming content from Microsoft could open a whole new world of content opportunities and drive use and adoption of VR headsets.
On the hardware front, the introduction of high speed 5G networks will free devices from having to do all the processing, enabling the streamingof VR experiences and so the cost of entry to VR around he hardware should fall. Even before 5G arrives, Microsoft has plans to offset speed issues by harnessing its worldwide data centers, matching players geographically with the connection closest to them to ensure no 'lag' – the curse of gaming. There is plenty of competition, but Microsoft is a big player in the market through Xbox and marquee games including Halo and Forza, not to mention its existing Xbox Live connected gaming platform that has 59m monthly active users globally.

Online Rummy Games
Rummy games first emerged during the early 20th century, and are possibly influenced by the Mexican game Conquian. The game is best played with two to four participants, but can also accommodate as much as six players. Either a fixed number of deals are played, or the game is played to a limit score. The number of deals or the target score needs to be set before starting the first turn.
However, the emergence of online gaming greatly influenced the world of gambling and card games in general. Today, bettors may enjoy their favorite wagering activities from the comfort of their homes. With the power of desktop computers and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, those who wish to revel in casino games in just a few clicks are more than welcome to employ web-based platforms.
Online rummy
Among the sea of betting sites and online casino games out there, Rummy is one of the many activities that instantly captured the attention of gaming enthusiasts and experts.
For example, at Game Duell, anyone can play the German or French iteration of the game for fun or with real money. These online-based games offer a variant using two decks and six jokers, in which a player's initial meld must be worth no less than 40 points.
German Rummy, with two decks of cards, six jokers and a minimum of 40 points for the first meld, can also be played at Sunnygames.
Mobile players will be thrilled to find out that an online rummy game for iPhone and iPad devices are available thanks to Antonio Ferraioli's Rummy application page. In addition, similar bonuses like that of the casino bonus features of Lucky247 can also be expected by members of the page.
A shareware Rummy program for Windows-powered devices—a two-player game against the computer with 10 cards dealt to each player—is readily accessible on Games Galore. For those who want to test the waters a free trial version is also available. Additionally, another Windows-operated software offers Italian Rummy that can be played on Alberosa.
Meanwhile, a dedicated Rummy program from Special K software supports over ten Rummy variants, which you can play against computer opponents or other players from around the globe.
Bettors looking to make a quick buck can easily bag big wins through Torsten Heitmann's Rummy Timer app, which can effectively speed up the game by setting a time limit on players' turns: also create player lists, record scores, and tally game statistics.
Finally, Sylvain Labbe's Free Card Games is a portal that houses Net.Rummy, an online Rummy program with customizable rules for play against actual players. The beauty of this site is that it supports both desktop and mobile devices of several types.

Sofia Coppola Exits 'The Little Mermaid'
via The Playlist
In a way, it seemed almost too good to be true. When Universal couldn't secure Joe Wright to direct their long brewing, live action take on "The Little Mermaid," they snagged Sofia Coppola. And it was a potentially promising endeavor, with Coppola making her first big studio picture, doing something unlike anything she's done before. But alas, it won't happen.
Deadline reports that Coppola has exited the movie over, you guessed it, "creative differences." The movie has had a few different pens on it so far, with Abi Morgan ("Shame") and Kelly Marcel ("Fifty Shades Of Grey") previous tackling it, and Caroline Thompson's ("Edward Scissorhands," "The Nightmare Before Christmas") rewrite looking like the one that will stick. But even with Coppola's departure, the project isn't dead, with Universal apparently pushing forward, but no word yet on who they are eyeballing for the gig.

Sofia Coppola Directing 'The Beguiled' With Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning
We're going to have to chalk this up to an unconfirmed rumor for the moment, but a) this is terrifically exciting if it's true, b) we recently posted are own corroboration that points to its validity. Earlier this month we spoke to Kirsten Dunst on the "Midnight Special" press tour and the actress said she would not only reteam with her "The Virgin Suicides" and "Marie Antoinette" director Sofia Coppola, but that she would shoot a new Coppola movie this year.
Coppola's last project was "The Little Mermaid," one that she eventually left due to creative differences with the studio and no follow-up project was announced. It seems Dunst may have been hinting at tonight's news? The Tracking Board reports that Coppola is making "The Beguiled," a remake of the 1971 Don Siegel Civil War-set romance starring Clint Eastwood about a Union soldier who cons his way into each of the lonely women's hearts of a Confederate girls boarding school.
It gets better. Coppola apparently has Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning lined-up to star. The story will apparently be a new take on the premise of the original film which is based on the Southern Gothic novel by Thomas P. Cullinan. A Good Reads synopsis describes the book not dissimilar to the movie's logline: "A wounded Union soldier is taken into a Southern girls' academy, and his presence sets in motion a tragedy of jealousy, hate and lust."
Producers are evidently eyeing a Chris Pratt-like male lead for the Clint Eastwood role. Kidman will play the Head Mistress of the school, Dunst a teacher and Fanning, who starred in Coppola's "Somewhere," will reportedly take on the role of one of the girls residing at the house.
Sofia Coppola And Bill Murray To Reteam For 'On The Rocks', Apple & A24's First Film
via Deadline
Sofia Coppola will direct Bill Murray again after their Oscar-winning 2003 film Lost in Translation in the upcoming feature On the Rocks, which marks Apple and A24's first film partnership.
The movie follows a young mother who reconnects with her larger than life playboy father on an adventure through New York. Rashida Jones will star with Murray. Production starts this spring in New York. Coppola won an original screenwriting Oscar for Lost in Translation and was nominated for best director. Murray nabbed a best actor Oscar nom, and the movie earned a best picture nom. Coppola also directed Murray in the 2015 Netflix holiday special A Very Murray Christmas.
Coppola will produce with Youree Henley. A24 previously worked with Coppola on The Bling Ring. She is repped by ICM and attorney Barry Hirsch. Murray is repped by Ziffren Brittenham. Jones is represented by United Talent Agency and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham.
Coppola made history at the 70th Cannes Film Festival as the second woman ever in the event to win best director for her remake of The Beguiled.
A24 and Apple announced a multi-year feature slate deal back in November.

Q: Django url pattern is not a registered view function or pattern I have a small Django web app, with multiple applications inside them. I have used the include in the urls.py files, but whenever I reference the URLs in the HTML files they don't load. Below are my 3 urls.py files. The one I'm having an issue will specifically is the nodes url pattern in the nodes urls.py
#main urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('account/', include('account.urls')),
]

#account urls.py

from django.urls import path, include
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from . import views

app_name = 'account'

urlpatterns = [
    path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
    path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
    path('dashboard/', views.dashboard, name='dashboard'),
    path('nodes/', include('nodes.urls')),
]

#nodes urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views

app_name = 'nodes'
urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.nodes, name='nodes'),
]

This is my HTML file where I am referencing the URL pattern:

     Nodes

A: Due to this pattern name you set in urls file if change HTML file to this it must be fixed:

   Nodes

just for tips :) if import urls file at the django shell and print list of urlspatterns you could see default name assign to your nodes path.

Extraterrestrials: we know why they haven't contacted us yet… if they exist
Humans will detect extraterrestrial life "within the next 100 years". Didier Queloz, a physicist from the University of Cambridge, said after the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics ceremony that he is convinced that these creatures exist and that they will come into contact with human beings in the years to come. coming.
Yet researchers have been searching for signs of extraterrestrial life in the universe for decades. Unfortunately, they haven't given anything yet. This puzzle is known as the Fermi paradox. So, are there any plausible reasons for this unsolved mystery?
Didier Queloz, rewarded for his discovery of the first exoplanet orbiting a star similar to the Sun, expressed his convictions during a conference at the Science Media Center in London: "I can't believe that we "We're the only living entity in the universe. There are way too many planets, way too many stars… The chemistry that led to life has to happen somewhere else."
The man is also not the only one to think so. Indeed, researchers have come up with many hypotheses and potential answers to the Italian-American physicist's question, reports Business Insider.
For some scientists, aliens deliberately hibernate or not show up. For others, these possible civilizations existing or having already existed would have had access to very advanced technology and that they would have self-destructed before having had the possibility of coming into contact with other forms of intelligent life in the world. 'universe.
Or they just don't want to communicate with Earth, because we are neither a threat nor a very intellectually advanced population. Finally, it could be that the aliens have communicated or sent a message in the direction of the blue planet, but that the men have not yet received anything…
In his recent book "End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World," science author Bryan Walsh discusses 13 theories that attempt to explain why these creatures haven't contacted us yet and why we may never return. never in contact with them.
