Q: Find number of digits of N in base b Given an integer $N$, we can find that it has
$ \lfloor\log_bN\rfloor+1$
digits in base $b$.

But what if $N$ is not in base $10$, but is in base $a$?

Can we calculate the number of digits $N$ written in base $a$ has in base $b$, but without converting $N_a$ to $N_{10}$ (its decimal representation)?

What I have tried:
If we have a case like, for example, where we have $1234567_8$ and $b=2$, then we can solve $2^x=8 \to x=3$ and know that each digit of base $8$ will take three digits to write in base $2$ (including trailing zeroes). But the last one should not have trailing zeroes, so we need to evaluate the last digit by itself, which is $1$, and see it takes only one digit in base $2$ as well. Thus, our number written in octal will have $3\times 6 +1=19$ digits in binary. But what if $x$ is not an integer?
I've thus tried to round the values to the nearest integer and put this method into a formula. In general, we follow this approach:

Since we can't evaluate (convert to base $10$) the $N_a$, we can count how many digits it has. Also, I need to "cheat" a bit by evaluating only the last digit of the number $N_a$.
If $n$ is the number of digits of $N_a$ and $d$ is the last digit, then $N_b$ has digits: $$(n-1)[\log_ba]+\lfloor\log_bd\rfloor+1$$
($[x]$ rounds the number to the nearest integer, and $\lfloor x\rfloor$ is the floor function.)

How can we check/prove whether this expression is always exactly correct or not? I've tried only handful of examples and not sure how to fully check this. (it is correct if $x$ is an integer, the rounding is the only thing that bothers me)
Is there a better way to calculate/write solution to this problem?

A: When the number $N$ is a variable with an arbitrary value, the number of base-$b$ digits is indeed $\lfloor \log_b N\rfloor+1$.
If $N$ is a concrete number written in base $a$ with $n$ digits, its value lies in $[a^{n-1},a^n-1]$ and the number of base-$b$ digits is in
$$\big[\lfloor \log_b a^{n-1}\rfloor+1,\lfloor \log_b(a^n-1)\rfloor+1\big]$$ which is most of the time
$$\big[\lfloor (n-1)\log_ba\rfloor+1,\lfloor n\log_ba\rfloor+1\big].$$

Gov't run hospital puts up breast milk bank to help poor and working lactating mothers
Many lactating mothers may not be aware of this: there is a government hospital in Manila that has put up a breast milk bank which can be used to feed babies whose mothers have problems in lactation.
The Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, the busiest maternity institution in Manila which is run by the government, has been intensifying its collection efforts to boost breastfeeding among poor mothers as well as working women who must have to return to work immediately after giving birth..
Esmeraldo Ilem, head of the hospital's family planning unit, said the hospital started its bank in 2007, but since then at least two other facilities in the capital have opened milk banks.
Here in the hospital, breast milk is pasteurised and refrigerated and sold at up to $10 (more or less P420.00) for 4 liters to other hospitals and individuals with mothers as first priority.
The official said that even hospitals in far-flung areas or provinces come to the hospital to buy milk.
Results of a study conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) showed that exclusive breastfeeding – giving babies only breast milk in the first six months after their birth, which boosts their immunity to childhood diseases – has risen from 36% in 2008 to 47% in 2011 in the Philippines. Breastfeeding a baby within one hour after birth, also increased from 32% in 2008 to 52% in 2011.
Ilem said breast milk is the best way to make babies healthy in the early stages of life but there are many mothers who need to go back to work or do not lactate very well, so this is where milk from the hospital comes in.
In a move to promote breastfeeding, a law was passed in 2009 that protects a woman's right to breastfeed publicly, and requires private as well as public companies to allot time for breastfeeding.
The law also mandates that all public institutions have to provide lactation stations separate from bathrooms.
Since 1986, Executive Order 51, known as the Milk Code, has prohibited advertising infant formula for infants under two years old.#

Are you ready to celebrate and get all the candles? Will you become the best cake-maker of them all? But to do this you can't leave the cake without decorations and you can't let all the cherries escape. Remember, however, that it's not easy being a cake-maker: throw the dice, look at what you have to do and then, quick… try to position the cherries. Easy? Well…. Maybe with the rubber bands binding your fingers and your opponents next to you, you won't feel quite so agile.
Cherries on the run… is part of the Playing to grow series, a new line of board games, conceived by Gianluca Daffi, which combine the pleasure of playing together with the opportunity to develop one or more specific executive functions: emotional self-regulation, response inhibition, working memory, focused attention, planning and flexibility.
Quick, decorate the cake and collect the candles!
Throw the dice, figure out what you have to do and then quickly... put the cherries on the cake. Who can be the fastest baker of all?
CHERRIES ON THE RUN is a game from the «Playing to grow» series, created by Gianluca Daffi, an expert in child psychology and university professor.
Each game focuses on specific executive functions or cognitive processes with the goal of aiding their development through play.
CHERRIES ON THE RUN, in particular, develops skills of attention and emotional self-control.
The objective of the game is to quickly place the cherries on the cake based on the indications of the dice, in order to earn more candle cards than your opponents.
The game is composed of: 1 "cake" game board divided into 4 concentric circles; 15 little cherry balls (5 yellow, 5 red, and 5 blue); 18 elastic bands (6 yellow, 6 red, and 6 blue); 10 candle cards; three dice.
To begin, insert the "cake" game board into the box andplace it in the centre of the table. Place the little balls and the elastic bands in the lid of thebox. Prepare the materials in the box based on the number of players as indicated in the following"gameplay chart".
The blue and red cherry balls and the blue and red elastic bands are represented on the dice by their respective colours, while the yellow cherry balls and the yellow elastic bands are indicated by blank dice faces. The player, looking at the three dice, must remember the missing colour, yellow, and deduce which element that colour refers to.
Players who do not succeed in taking correct coloured elastic or cherry ball, or those who do not place the cherry ball in the correct coloured hole in the correct ring on the cake are eliminated. After each round, play passes to the next ring of the cake, working inwards, reducing the number of elements in play.
The last player remaining in the game earns a candle card. At this point,	the game starts again from the beginning with all players. The winner of the games is the player who collects the number of candle cards established at the beginning of the game.

If I put new records underneath, it shows #N/A without the reason.

Could anyone help me to solve it?
If I drag it down to 9th cell then it starts working. What can be behind it? Under the OR1001 record, which is placed on A9 cell I should have the 9 value instead of #N/A


Can Hairspray Cause Itchy Scalp?
» Can Hairspray Cause Itchy Scalp?
We hear in advertisements for hair products that they are meant to nourish, hydrate, and heal our hair. While they don't often talk about the health of our scalp, it's easy to assume that's taken care of as well. Unfortunately, many hairsprays can cause an itchy scalp.
If you suffer from a dry scalp, finding the reason why is the key to treating it. If hair care products are the reason for the dryness, the next best thing is to figure out which ingredient(s) is/are causing the problem.
Hairspray can be harmful to your hair and scalp for a variety of reasons. It doesn't take much to have a reaction to the synthetic chemicals. Even if you have perfectly healthy skin otherwise, there are certain ingredients to avoid that can dry out the scalp and cause itching, and flaking.
This article will show you why hairspray is causing an itchy and flaky scalp. We'll also offer some alternative products that don't make your head itch. Having a better understanding of the products you use each day can lead to a healthier scalp with no irritating symptoms. Our top pick is Free & Clear Hairspray.
Why Do Hair Products Irritate the Scalp?
What Does an Itchy Scalp Tell You?
Unfortunately, many of your favorite hair products contain a lot of chemicals. They are designed to do everything from work as preservatives, to make them smell good. They also can cause dry scalp, itching, frizzy hair, irritation, soreness, and redness.
Hairspray, in particular, contains quite a bit of alcohol. This can dry out your hair and your scalp at the same time. Some people will have different reactions to synthetic chemicals, but knowing the ingredients can make you more aware of why you have a certain response.
Some over-the-counter (OTC) products, like hairspray, can also clog the pores of your scalp. This can attribute to the itching sensation and doesn't give your skin a chance to breathe. If you think that these products only go 'skin deep,' you're wrong. They can be absorbed into the skin and cause additional problems, including issues with the immune system.
Using a product that gives you an itchy scalp might be irritating, but if you think you can just 'ignore' the itching sensation, there some more important factors to consider. Giving into the need to scratch your scalp can cause big problems.
First, scratching your scalp can lead to inflammation and infection. If your scalp is cut open by consistent scratching, it could start to bleed. This can lead to potential infection. If you continue to use hair products on an open wound, the chemicals could cause further damage.
Excessive dryness of the scalp can also lead to hair loss. As your hair is constantly pulled and irritated, it may start to break, or even fall out. An itchy scalp is nothing to ignore.
The most common allergy associated with hairspray is contact dermatitis. This occurs when your body (scalp) comes into direct contact with a specific substance. In this case, it can be one specific ingredient within the product or a combination of several. As you can see, an allergic reaction to hairspray can cause far more damage than just an itchy scalp.
If you're currently using a hairspray that is causing an itchy scalp, finding a replacement is important. Not all OTC products are created equal. You can find hairspray for a sensitive scalp fairly easily nowadays since more people are turning toward natural solutions.
Free & Clear Hairspray: This prides itself on being free of the most common chemical irritants in traditional sprays. This includes dyes, fragrances, parabens, and other preservative ingredients. It is completely sulfate-free and phosphate-free. It is dermatologist-tested, and specifically designed for a sensitive scalp.
Andalou Naturals Sunflower & Citrus Brilliant Shine Hairspray: As the name suggests, this spray uses natural ingredients to give hold, offer shine, and provide all of the styling benefits of hairspray. It doesn't have the harmful effects caused by chemicals. With ingredients like aloe, Vitamin E, and white tea, this spray by Andalou Naturals can help to soothe your scalp, rather than harm it.
If you're used to purchasing traditional cosmetic hairspray, we highly recommend switching to one of the solutions above. They are just as convenient as their chemical counterparts, without the harmful side effects.
If you choose to use natural essential oils to supplement sensitive hair care products, make sure you're using 100% pure oils, and not pre-made blends. Some of these oils (like tea tree) also require a carrier oil of some kind. Never put an essential oil directly on your scalp without knowing how to apply it, first properly.
The best thing you can do to prevent a dry scalp is to figure out what's causing it in the first place. In reality, knowing that it's hair products that are causing the problem can be a good thing – it's an easy fix! Use the following three tips if hair care products have dried out your scalp, causing it to itch and become inflamed.
Stop using chemically-based hair products. This is the easiest way to alleviate itching almost immediately. If it doesn't take away the side effects right away, at least you can keep them from getting even worse. Hair products don't necessarily affect everyone the same way. But, whether you have an allergy or just sensitive skin, cutting off your use of these types of products immediately is the fastest way to find relief.
Nourish your scalp regularly with natural products. It's likely that it's not just hairspray causing your itchy scalp, but it could be all of your cosmetic hair care products if they contain the same kinds of chemicals. Not only should you switch to more natural solutions, but you can supplement them with things like coconut oil, olive oil, or jojoba oil. These help to lock in moisture and will leave your scalp and hair feeling and looking healthier.
Try a few DIY solutions. Create a cleansing rinse using apple cider vinegar with water. This can help to balance out the pH levels of your scalp and return it to a healthy state. It's almost like pushing a 'reset' button on a scalp that has been treated with chemicals for too long.
Hair products affect people in different ways. Some may never experience any negative symptoms from cosmetic hairsprays. However, if you regularly have a dry, itchy scalp, it's a good idea to look at the products you use on your hair first. You may have a negative reaction to one, or multiple chemicals within the product. Also, consider using an organic shampoo, such as Christina Moss Naturals.
The good news is that by making a switch to a hairspray meant for sensitive skin, the itching will likely subside. If it doesn't, you may want to look into other possible conditions for a dry scalp, such as weather, or even a possible skin condition.
There are many reputable solutions available to style your hair safely, without the effects of chemicals. By finding a hairspray that doesn't irritate the scalp, such as Free & Clear Hairspray, you can keep the style you want without any harmful side effects.


Man, winter in Junction has been a "normal" year for 2011. I've been able to get all my workouts outside, which is really nice. I've had only a couple snow rides, but the white stuff is gone and the sun is shining. Riding dry trails in January is a pretty sweet deal.
Been getting everything in order for a run at the 2011 race season. I just did a pre-season VO2 Max test yesterday to see where I am at. Results were good, and showing that I am in really good shape for January. That's good, casue last year I sucked. First race will be down in St George, UT again this year. Nothing like blowing the cobwebs out of your legs in early March. Riding in Hurricane the next day isn't bad either.
Still trying to figure out my race schedule for the year. Going to be doing some of the PRO XCT's, some MSC races, a few local races, hopefully some cross, then Iceman. I'd like to come back for a run at Ore to Shore, but I'm not sure if I can get back this year.
Off to Moab tomorrow to shred some trail!
I'm not getting anyone's hopes up here, but maybe I'll do a little better job of updating this blog over the next year. I've had a great and exciting 2010, so I'm hoping for the same in 2011. The 2010 riding was some of the best I have done. I did not have the best fitness or results last year, but I had a hell of a time traveling around racing and riding bikes.
Here is a quick recap of what had gone down in the 81501 the past year.
I took the summer to explore all the fun things one should do. I set my home base of Grand Junction, and spent the summer riding, hiking, floating the river, fly fishing, racing, and traveling. I go to Crested Butte twice to ride the most glorious trails ever made. Some awesome camping was had, along with a few killer rides and some river fishing. I was also able to head back to Michigan for a couple weeks to visit family, hit the Ore to Shore and have a little camping vacation in the UP. Ore to Shore was decent, but a flat tire ruined my hopes of a good ride. I still finished up 15th and had a good time seeing everyone. Copper Harbor the following week was good enough redemption.
I didn't do much fall racing. Did a fun 24 Hours of Moab team and then headed back to Iceman for the true end of the season. My chainring gouged on me and kept dropping my chain after mile 12, so I had a long ride/walk to the finish line. At least I was able to see everyone from the mitten and ring out the season at the afterparty.
Besides riding and having fun, I graduated from Mesa State College with a marketing degree this fall. I also started a job running a new bike shop here in Grand Junction, LTR Sports. It is going to be exciting watching it grow along with the exciting cycling scene in the valley. I will be riding for our local team, LiveTrainRace.com next year. If I'm not posting here, you'll see some of my posts on their website.
I also just bit the bullet and decided to stay in Grand Junction for a while. I bought a pretty cool little house the other day which should give my outdoor gear a place to stay when I'm in town. Yep, thats about it. This whole social media thing is booming, so follow me on FB or TW for more consistent updates over the next year!


"I have figured out THE recipe for lemon bars! They are oozing with luscious filling atop a buttery shortbread crust. They have the perfect blend of sweetness and tart lemon flavor. Perfection!! I have always loved the filling part of a lemon bar. This recipe has double the filling of a standard lemon bar. It also has the perfect balance of tart lemon flavor without being overbearing. If you love lemon desserts, give this a try! You'll be glad you did."
Lemon bars are such a treat in the winter, don't you think? I adore this recipe because it is so bright and citrusy. I think it will be a welcome change from the heavy pumpkin recipes we have been sampling all fall long. I want to make these bars soon to brighten up our day. Maybe this weekend would be the perfect day to do it.

My son Konrad will be 4 years old in March and he has Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified, or PDD-NOS for short. (Click here to learn more - http://www.autismspeaks.org/what-autism/pdd-nos).
PDD-NOS is on the Autism Spectrum.
Konrad can't communicate like the rest of us because his verbal communication abilities are limited. It's not that he can't talk, or make words, it's just most of the time it's unintelligible and/or he uses words incorrectly. We are working diligently to improve his verbal skills, but he may never be able to attain the same level of verbal communication as an average "non-special needs" individual.
Konrad also has limited cognitive and recognition abilities. Though he is higher functioning on the Autism Spectrum, he may never be able to attain higher level thinking or reasoning.
Outwardly, Konrad LOOKS like a "normal" child his age, but once you interact with him, you notice that he "isn't like the other kids".
He is extremely compassionate and is very aware of emotional cues and the tone of the atmosphere. Konrad also has an amazing sense of humor, is quite a joker and has excellent comedic timing. He loves to sing his ABCs and loves music and"circle time" at school.
Konrad is my angel and he is the reason why I wanted to bring an Angels Pageant to Minnesota. He inspires me to want to make a difference, make an impact and help others who have special needs. And Konrad wants to make a difference too!
which prompted me to get a degree in Human Services. I currently am a Program Director for a group home where my husband, 5 month old son and I live with 4 disabled adults whom I coordinate home, community, medical and personal activities for. I have also worked with elementary school children with disabilities for over 7 years.
possible, and I hope you do too.
I live in Michigan with my husband of 14 years John, and our 4 children, Austin, Gracie, Emmett and Jackson.
One day, Meghan and I were talking and she happened to mention this project she was going to be starting up in Minnesota. A pageant for special needs individuals. Little did she know, I used to volunteer for the Special Olympics as an Aquatics coach when I was a teenager and have always had a place in my heart for those with special needs. The more she told me, the more I knew I had to be involved in some way. I knew we had to make this happen.
Volunteering for Special Olympics gave me a whole new outlook on life. It changed my perception of the special needs community and helped mold me into the person I am today. When I met those amazing athletes and realized the love and support around them, I was awestruck. Coaching them week after week and then finally at the statewide Summer Games showed me what true strength and dedication is and helped prepare me for the trials I would face in my own life. The experience really taught me to appreciate both victories and defeat and to never back down.
From giving birth to 4 children, living with chronic pain from fibromyalgia, to helping me find the strength to carry on when my daughter was born with a birth defect (Duane's Syndrome, a disorder that affects the muscles in her eye as well as adversely affects her vision), to when my youngest son was born premature, having acute respiratory distress and having to be intubated and spend the first weeks of life in the NICU.
Without my experiences with individuals with special needs, I wouldn't have the outlook on life and family as I do today. They changed my life just simply by being who they are and I want to help make this pageant a success and help showcase their amazing spirits, personalities and hearts.
My hope is to start a Michigan Angels Pageant sometime next year!

Governor Steve Sisolak announces Nelson Araujo as Infrastructure Advisor
CARSON CITY, NV – Today, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak announced the appointment of Nelson Araujo as Nevada's Infrastructure Advisor. He will begin on April 11.
In this role, Araujo will work across all agencies and levels of government to ensure the State is competitively and successfully navigating the acquisition and implementation of federal dollars from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The State is receiving more than $4 billion in funding, with the bulk of money going toward highway programs. Money is also coming to the State for broadband, cybersecurity infrastructure and wildfire prevention, among other items. More information on expected infrastructure money for the State can be found here.
Araujo most recently served as State Director for Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen. He previously served two terms in the Nevada State Assembly and is an experienced community leader.
"I am excited for Nelson to take on this important role – his talent and expertise, combined with his deep knowledge of State and federal processes make him perfect for this role," said Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak. "Nevada's economy is coming back strong and tackling infrastructure investments head on will help set up our State for success for years to come."
Federal money will complement the work of the State Infrastructure Bank, which was created and funded by the Governor in the last legislative session. In his role, Araujo will work closely with the State Infrastructure Bank, government agencies, and stakeholders statewide.
"I am humbled and honored to join Governor Sisolak's team to help continue driving Nevada's economy forward," Araujo said. "As a lifelong Nevadan, I look forward to working hard on behalf of the people of Nevada to implement strong, sustainable infrastructure initiatives that will benefit our State for generations to come."
Araujo began his career in public service in 2007, under Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. In 2011, he joined the Financial Guidance Center where he was responsible for the creation and oversight of Home Again: Nevada Homeowner Relief Program, a statewide program that connected Nevadans to housing resources. Araujo is a graduate from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Health care costs can be uncertain in older age, but they certainly exist — and so does the responsibility to fund them.
An American couple retiring this year should expect to spend $275,000 in health care costs throughout retirement — a number that has risen 6% since last year, and will continue to rise indefinitely.
The number assumes the individuals are enrolled in Medicare, but does not include expenses associated with a nursing home or long-term care, according to Fidelity Investments, the Boston-based financial services firm that analyzed these health care costs. Instead, the $275,000 includes monthly expenses that come with health coverage premiums, copayments and deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs. The expected cost of health care has grown 70% since Fidelity first started tracking health care costs in 2002, and will continue to rise in the future, Adam Stavisky, senior vice president of Fidelity Benefits Consulting. "Medicare is wonderful, but by design it doesn't cover everything," Stavisky said.
See: What's the matter with health care?
Americans are anxious as it is for retirement — the image of those golden years has shifted considerably in recent decades, where people are relying on their own savings instead of a pension plan, and many are choosing to work part or full time in their older years. Almost half of Americans are not confident about reaching their retirement goals, partially because of how expensive health care is: 71% of the more than 1,000 adults in a survey by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants said they were anxious about health care costs, and another 68% said their concern was over the uncertainty around health care costs.
On top of how expensive health care is, and the pressure to save for it, many Americans don't understand the details of various plans and insurances. "Health care is unfortunately complex and most people will shut down before they try to unravel the complexity," Stavisky said. Health care legislation is also in limbo — Senate Republicans failed to agree on a reformed health care bill, which would have reduced Medicaid spending (the health care plan for low-income families and those with disabilities or few resources), and both parties are fighting over the fate of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. For now, however, the ACA is still in tact.
In the meantime, it's on Americans to ensure their security in retirement, and that means funding health care costs. "We may not want to talk about it, but the obligation exists nonetheless," Stavisky said. One increasingly popular way to do that is by funding a health savings account (HSA), where assets are deposited, invested and withdrawn tax-free and help Americans pay for qualified medical expenses. HSAs accounted for about $37 billion in assets at the end of 2016, and to more than $41 billion in January, according to Devenir, a Minneapolis-based HSA adviser and consultancy firm. The average investment account holder has a balance of almost $15,000, and overall the number of HSA accounts has grown 20% between December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016.
HSAs are attached to a high-deductible health insurance plan, and have a contribution limit in 2017 of $3,400 for individuals and $6,750 for families. In 2018, those limits will increase to $3,450 and $6,900, respectively. There is an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000 allowed per year for individuals 55 and older. Alternatively, Americans can use a Flex Spending Account to accompany their health care coverage, but must spend it all or lose any remaining money in the account at the end of the year. Though they can be beneficial, and many experts recommend them, individuals interested in opening an HSA should consider fees and initial costs associated with the plans, and understand their nuances — for example, once someone signs up for Medicare, contributing to an HSA is no longer an option. Alternatives to an HSA would be a traditional employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) plan, or a traditional or Roth Individual Retirement Account.
The money contributed each year into an HSA doesn't have to be used in that year, and unspent money will roll over year after year to become another nest-egg in retirement, if the individual chooses, said Chad Wilkins, president of HSA Bank, a Milwaukee-based health savings account administrator.
Some experts suggest paying all health care expenses out of pocket and saving HSA funds for health care costs in retirement (or, for whatever purpose after turning 65, when those assets are no longer only for medical expenses and the account is treated like a 401(k) plan — nonmedical expenses will incur income taxes, though). Individuals can also use the money to reimburse themselves for a medical expense (with a receipt) from years prior, Wilkins added.

NDJ – I Want You
by Elle Breezy March 3, 2017
You might know NDJ (Nathan Davis Jr.) from his leading role in Nickelodeon's "Chase Champion."
Earlier today (March 3), NDJ dropped the first song from his forthcoming mixtape I Want You produced by 3x-Grammy nominated producers Butta-N-Bizkit. The title track is this super-smooth, infectious, youthful, pop-soul dance tune that has NDJ declaring his feelings to a crush.
"I wanna know can you feel it/ or is it just my imagination?" he sings on the second verse.
Stream below:
"I Want You" follows his baby-making tune "Put It Down."
The mixtape will drop on March 17th, with NDJ as co-producer and includes his own twist on Michael Jackson's "Another Part of Me" and The Isley Brothers' "Make Me Say It Again." NDJ also just joined the cast of "StartUp" TV series with TV stars Martin Freeman and Edi Gathegi for its second season.

Let's talk about peanut butter. This is a subject that has been peeving me for quite some time. You might be wondering how peanut butter could peeve someone, so I'm going to tell you.
They aren't all created the same.
Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now. That subject really fires me up.
What can I say? I love peanut butter! And that's why I created this velvety, rich peanut stew inspired by the many recipes for African Peanut Stew that are floating around the web. I took elements of several recipes and came up with this hearty stew. Even better I was able to throw in plenty of greens and add an extra hit of protein by adding chickpeas.
Just do me a favor when you make this stew- please use natural peanut butter AND read the label! Seriously. This stew has no need for oil OR sugar. It has all the flavor and whole food plant based ingredients it needs!
Here is a video to show you how it's made in the Instant Pot. Don't forget to subscribe while you are there!
A thick and hearty plant-based stew with the perfect amount of spice and velvety richness!
Saute onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
Add sweet potatoes, and continue sautéing for another 3 minutes.
Add coridander, salt, and cayenne pepper and stir until vegetables are well coated.
Add vegetable broth, tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir well.
Stir in natural peanut butter.
Set pot to manual high pressure for 5 min and turn the valve to Sealing.
Allow pressure to release for ten minutes after the time goes off.
Remove lid and scoop out two cups of stew. Add to high powdered blender and puree until smooth.
Pour pureed stew back into pot to thicken stew.
Stir in chickpeas and greens.

Q: Check if the order of elements in xml node is correct through xslt 1.0 I am looking for a solution through xslt 1.0 and x-path 1.0.
Here is a sample xml file:
<header>
<number>123</number>
<text>test string</text>
</header>

Both number and text are child elements of header node, and both are optional elements in this node.
I want to check through xslt 1.0 whether text element is coming after number element or only child of header node if number element doesnt exist. Same condition goes for number element if text element doesnt exist. Basically i want to make sure the elements should come at their correct location. There can be more child elements with same sceraios. I know XSD can do this but i want to add check like this in xslt 1.0. I havent done anything yet from my side yet. Please suggest if we can do this via xslt 1.0
Thanks in advance.

A: Your question is a bit open-ended, but let's interpret as meaning that you want to validate the sequence of children against a content model
A? B? C? D? E?
Here's one way:
<xsl:template match="header">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="v"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="A" mode="v">
  <xsl:if test="preceding::sibling::*"><error/></xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="B" mode="v">
  <xsl:variable name="p" select="preceding-sibling::*[1]"/>
  <xsl:if test="$p and not(name($p) = 'A')"><error/></xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="C" mode="v">
  <xsl:variable name="p" select="preceding-sibling::*[1]"/>
  <xsl:if test="$p and not(name($p) = 'A' or name($p) = 'B')"><error/></xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

etc.

26 Car Insurance Statistics in the UK That Have You Covered
Updated August, 1, 2022
Having a car in the 21st century is a necessity. And if you're a car owner, you already know that buying insurance is mandatory.
Did you know that out of the 26 million households in the UK, almost 20 million have car insurance?
We curated some captivating car insurance statistics for the UK to give you insight into the car insurance market. Let's dive in!
Ten Fascinating Facts and Car Insurance Statistics for the UK
Around 75% of UK households have motor insurance.
The average car insurance premium in Q1 2021 was £417.
Drivers aged 65 or older pay the lowest average premiums of £258 annually.
2.1 million car insurance claims were settled in 2020.
In 2018, £7 million were paid per day in business motor insurance claims.
The average value for bodily injury claims from motor vehicle accidents was £10.45 thousand.
Fraudulent motor claims worth £3.3 million are detected every day.
The UK's car insurance market is the third-largest in Europe.
The value of domestic motor insurance commission and expenses was almost £1.9 billion in 2018.
130 people are killed in collisions caused by uninsured drivers.
General Auto Insurance Statistics
1. Around 75% of UK households have motor insurance.
(Statista) (Statista)
31.5 million cars were on the roads of the United Kingdom in 2018, or about one vehicle registered per two people and the majority of them (75%) had car insurance. The same year, out of 26.5 million households in the UK, approximately 20 million had automobile insurance.
2. The average car insurance premium in Q1 2021 was £417.
(MoneySuperMarket) (Compare The Market)
The cost of comprehensive insurance declined by 14% compared to Q1 2020. In fact, the current price of an annual premium is the lowest recorded in the last seven years. This drop in the cost of auto insurance is the result of the decline in vehicle usage and accident claims, which have stayed under normal levels during the 2021 lockdown.
It's not just the cost of comprehensive insurance that has gone down. As of May 2022, British citizens paid £935.88 for third-party, fire and theft motor insurance and £1,409.97 for third-party insurance only.
Third-party only and third-party, fire and theft premiums tend to have higher average cost as both plans are more common among young drivers who are considered riskier.
3. East London drivers currently pay the most expensive premiums.
(MoneySuperMarket)
The most important factor that determines your car insurance premium is location. Living in a big city or busy town means more cars on the roads resulting in more accidents and more insurance claims.
East London drivers currently pay the most expensive premiums—approximately £870. Drivers across London have an average car insurance premium of £608, while motorists in Kirkwall in Scotland pay £256 on average—the lowest in the country.
4. Drivers aged 65 or older pay the lowest average premiums of £258 annually.
Another critical factor affecting insurance premiums is the driver's age. The latest data on average car insurance cost by age in the UK show that motorists under 25 pay twice as much as those aged 50 and over. In fact, drivers between the ages of 20 and 24 pay the highest annual premium of £871, while those under 65 have the lowest average premiums.
During the lockdown, the average cost of car insurance drastically dropped for drivers from the 17-19 age group as driving tests were cancelled and the number of new young drivers was reduced as a result. More specifically, annual car insurance premiums for this age bracket now costs £505, a decline of 37% in the last year alone.
5. Male drivers pay more for car insurance than women.
Male drivers typically pay £101 more annually for motor insurance than women, i.e. £812 for comprehensive car insurance as opposed to the £711 paid by female drivers. Although insurers are banned from considering gender when it comes to estimating coverage, it's believed that men drive more and have more advanced cars, which could increase the possibility of accidents and high repair bills.
6. Triumph was the cheapest car brand to insure in 2020.
Based on recent research on automobile insurance by MoneySuperMarket, a comprehensive policy premium for a Triumph car was £108, making it the cheapest car brand made to insure. Lotus cars were on the opposite end of the spectrum with an average premium of £406.
7. A rise in insurance premium tax rates is one of the major factors affecting car insurance costs.
(GOV.UK)
A rise in the Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) can result in a car insurance premium increase. In 2017, the standard rate increased to 12%, whilst the higher rate, which includes vehicle, appliance and travel insurance, went up to 20%.
Car Insurance Claim Statistics
8. 2.1 million car insurance claims were settled in 2020.
(ABI)
As lockdown measures kept drivers at home, the rate of car accidents and the number of car insurance claims settled reduced. Thus, in 2020, there were 2.1 million car insurance claims, which represents a 19% decrease compared to the year before. The number of claims settled also declined in Q4 2020 to 468,000, down by 13% from the previous quarter.
9. Total payouts in car insurance claims declined by 6% in 2020.
Estimated at £8.3 billion, total payouts for claims settled dropped by 6% from 2019 thanks to lockdown measures, which in turn led to a 14% decline in road traffic in the first six months of the year. Payouts may have declined overall; however, the average value per claim settled rose by 17% to £4,000 in 2020, reflecting an increase in personal injuries and vehicle repair costs.
10. In 2018, £7 million were paid per day in commercial motor insurance claims.
(Statista)
A Statista survey suggests that over £29 million were paid out per day in 2018 in domestic motor vehicle claims, compared to just £19.7 million in 2014. As for the commercial sector, the amount paid per day in claims for business motor insurance stood at £7 million.
11. The average value for bodily injury claims from motor vehicle accidents was £10.45 thousand.
(Statista) (The RAC Foundation)
1,784 people were killed in traffic accidents on British roads in 2018, and 25,511 were seriously injured. With this in mind, it's not surprising that the value of bodily injury claims related to car accidents stood at more than £10,000 in the 2017/2018 financial year.
On the other hand, the average value of car claims in the UK for damage to private vehicles caused by motor accidents was much lower — around £3.082.
12. A motor theft claim was settled by insurers every eight minutes in Q1 2019.
As a result of a rise in car theft (over 50% in the last five years), the cost of payouts increased by a whopping 22% in Q1 2019, rising to £1.2 million paid per day. The number of claims has also increased to 16,000 — the highest recorded since 2012.
13. Fraudulent motor claims worth £3.3 million are detected every day.
Data on car insurance accident statistics from ABI found that in 2019, 107,000 fraudulent insurance claims were made in the UK, worth £1.2 billion. That means every five minutes, a new scam was detected, adding up to 300 scams per day.
Car Insurance Industry Statistics
14. The UK's car insurance market is the third-largest in Europe.
In 2019 alone, the British motor insurance market generated almost 21.3 billion euro in car insurance premiums, which puts it right behind Germany and France as the three biggest markets in Europe. That year, the UK also made up 14.448% of all gross written motor insurance premiums on the Continent.
15. GWPs are expected to increase by 18% between 2020 and 2025.
(Research and Markets)
A report by Research and Markets indicates that in 2019, the car insurance market in the UK generated gross written motor insurance premiums (GWPs) of over £14.2 billion—a 2% increase from 2018.
An increase to over £15 billion is projected by 2025. From 2020 to 2022, the premium growth will be the strongest, with an expected growth rate of 10%, while after 2022, premiums are expected to increase by around 2% per year.
16. Net premium income of the domestic motor insurance market stood at more than £7.5 billion in 2018.
After fluctuating over the years, net income for domestic motor vehicles through premiums amounted to over £7.5 billion in 2018. On the other hand, net premium income for the commercial motor insurance industry in the UK stood at £10.1 billion.
17. The value of domestic motor insurance commission and expenses was almost £1.9 billion in 2018.
2013 was the year with the highest domestic car insurance market value in the UK—over £2 billion.
In 2018, the value of the commercial motor insurance commission and expenses market was a little over £800 million—the highest value on record since 2007.
18. The operating profit margin of car insurers in the UK went up by 9% between 2016 and 2018.
(Statista) (Mordor Intelligence)
Between 2016 and 2018, the operating profit margin of motor insurers in the UK went from 7% to 16%. After years of underwriting losses (the most significant of which was recorded at almost £1.8 billion in 2010), the industry managed to finish 2017 and 2018 with a net annual underwriting profit of £258 million and £515 million, respectively.
19. Direct Line and Admiral are the leading car insurance companies in the UK.

The motor insurance market in the UK is fragmented, and some of the major players in this industry include Aviva, Admiral, Direct Line, Zurich Assurance, and The Prudential Assurance Company. A report from Statista reveals that in 2018, Direct Line and Admiral were the major players on the market with approximately 3.2 and 3.5 million plan owners, accordingly.
20. In 2019, tax contributions from the insurance sector were £75.5 billion.
There were over 94 thousand employees that were directly employed in the UK's insurance sector (including motor insurance) in 2018 alone. And in 2019, the tax contributions of the industry reached £75.5 billion, making this sector the largest tax contributor in the country.
Uninsured Motorists Statistics
21. How many uninsured drivers are there in the UK?
(The Banbury Guardian)
According to a recent motoring crime report, almost 900,000 individuals were caught driving without insurance in 2019, which is the equivalent of 1.59 offences for every 1,000 people.
At the top of the list was West Yorkshire, with nearly 5,991 uninsured drivers, the highest number of offenders per capita, or 2.58 cases for every 1,000 people. Sussex is at the other end of the spectrum, with an offender rate of 0.71.
The report also shows that 74.2% of uninsured drivers were under 40 years old, while uninsured male drivers were accountable for more than eight in 10 motoring offences.
22. 130 people are killed in collisions caused by uninsured drivers.
(MIB)
More than 130 people die every year, and 26,000 are injured in accidents caused by drivers without insurance. This translates to about one in every five road traffic accidents. What's more, uninsured drivers are more likely to commit "hit and run" accidents, be involved in the use of a stolen vehicle, or driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
23. The fixed penalty for uninsured drivers is £300 and six points off the licence.
Driving a car without insurance is a criminal offence. According to auto insurance facts, if the case goes to court, the offender can get a driving ban and an unlimited fine. If the case does not reach the court, uninsured drivers are usually fined £300, and six penalty points are taken off their licence.
Along with the fine, uninsured drivers could have their vehicles seized or crushed. In 2019, for instance, 137,410 vehicles without insurance were seized, or the equivalent of one seizure per four minutes.
Technology Trends in the Insurance Industry
24. Purchasing car insurance online is a growing trend among the younger age groups.
An online survey of over 3,000 Brits suggests that 60% of consumers have taken out automobile insurance online.
At 43.82%, respondents aged 18 to 24 had the lowest rate, probably because people of this age group are the least likely to own a motor vehicle. On the other hand, 62.4% of over 65 year-olds bought car insurance online, which is not surprising given the rising trend of internet usage among older generations in the UK.
25. Black box insurance is mainly offered to drivers 25 and younger.
A survey from February 2020 reveals that black box motor car insurance is mainly offered to drivers 25 and younger, as they are less experienced and more likely to cause accidents. Car insurance premiums with telematics cover can range from £1,774 for 17 to 19 year-olds to £300 for 65 and over.
26. The consumer adoption rate of fintech companies in the UK is 71%.
(Mordor Intelligence)
Between 2015 and 2019, the consumer adoption rate of fintech products in the UK increased rapidly, going up from 14 to 71% in just four years. One of the reasons behind this growth is the increasing number of banks and financial services companies offering fintech products worldwide.
As long as there are cars on our roads, there will be a need for motor insurance. The market is on the rise, and new technology trends like insurtech companies, AI and chatbots are bound to make a strong impact on the industry.
We hope our collection of car insurance statistics for the UK left you better informed about the market's current condition and its future development.

J.A. Topf & Soehne, Erfurt - Crematories for Auschwitz
Welcome to the virtual tour of the industrial area of company Topf & Soehne. This page should give you a general idea of the way in which Topf & Soehne was entangled with the politics of mass extermination in national-socialist germany.
During the period of National-socialism in Germany J. A. Topf & Soehne produced crematories as well as parts of the gas chambers for concentration- and extermination camps, thus making it possible to put the antisemitic extermination program into action. The former headquarter of the company is located in Erfurt and today it is a deserted industrial area.
This area was squatted by a group of leftist, antifascist people in april 2001. In april 2009 the squat was evicted by the police. All buildings on the area were teared down by the new owner, except the former administrative building. The new owner wants to build apartment houses and a shopping market on the area. The former administrative building will be used for a historical place, which should be finished in 2011.
The tour shows the places where the combustion furnaces were developed and manufactured. It is possible to view the current condition and, when available, the historical condition of the buildings.

С целью раннего выявления субклинических когнитивных нарушений и поражения ЦНС у 20 пациентов с ВИЧ-инфекцией на ранних стадиях был проведен комплекс нейрофизиологических исследований: электроэнцефалограммы (ЭЭГ), когнитивных вызванных потенциалов мозга Р300 слуховой и зрительной модальностей, сложных сенсомоторных реакций, зрительных вызванных потенциалов и выявлены электрофизиологические признаки субклинических когнитивных нарушений и неспецифические электрофизиологические признаки субклинического поражения ЦНС. Применение расширенного комплекса электрофизиологических исследований с учетом специфики персистенции вируса в ЦНС позволило повысить чувствительность ранней диагностики субклинических когнитивных нарушений у ВИЧ-инфицированных больных до 90% случаев за счет оценки функции широко распространенных нейрональных сетей.

There's something so comforting about Fall, isn't there? For me, Fall is all about tailored wool coats and knee high boots, crisp morning air, and dark and sophisticated spaces (without a hint of pumpkin spice anything, thanks!). Here's a post I wrote last year on how to style your home for Fall.
Today, though, to demonstrate how beautiful moody interiors can be, I'm showing you 15 dark and sophisticated (and absolutely drop dead gorgeous!) rooms that will have you reaching for your lattes and longing to call one of these spaces home. Please also note the abundance of stunning florals which, typically, you would associate with spring or summer but that actually work perfectly for Fall too.
Ready for Fall yet? I sure am! Tell me, what is your favourite thing about the upcoming season?


Manvel Trice III doesn't reside in Room 306 of the Saginaw County District Court. He presides there.
Still, the courthouse's newest judge speaks about his position as if the role was more comparable to that of a household's authority figure as opposed to a law enforcement official appointed by the state of Michigan. And he speaks about the work he performs in his courtroom — Room 306 — as if he was providing parental-like guidance to those living beneath his roof.
To Trice, that makes his responsibilities more than simply a job. He is on a mission to work as a steward for the place he calls "home" and serve as a role model to the residents he considers extended family.
Born in the city of Saginaw and raised in Saginaw County's Bridgeport Township, Trice's sense of civic responsibility was initially shaped by the blue-collar upbringing his mother and father provided during his formative years.
Later in life, he was empowered and encouraged to pursue a career in law by two mentors he met while enrolled as an undergraduate student at SVSU in Saginaw County's Kochville Township.
That platform extends beyond the courthouse in Saginaw's Old Town district and involves tools other than his judge's gavel. Trice, an ordained minister, also strives to make a difference in people's lives on a metaphysical level.
"There is a spiritual component to the revitalization of Saginaw," he said.
Trice and his at-home family — his wife, Caressa, and their 3-year-old daughter, Maya — are active with nonprofit organizations and charities involved in addressing Saginaw's social challenges.
His day job, though, keeps him plenty busy tackling one of the community's largest challenges: crime. It's a responsibility he approaches with a passion he learned early in life.
His parents' influence also provided another important lesson he applies to different aspects of his life.
"With anything in life, if you're going to take on a project, you need to do it with passion and commitment," he said.
Trice credits the beginnings of his devotion to law to two men he met while attending SVSU in the late 1990s: then-President Eric Gilbertson and current President Don Bachand.
At the time, Bachand was Trice's criminal justice professor.
Bachand, a former Detroit policeman, was instrumental in Trice landing his first jobs relating to law enforcement. Trice served as a youth care specialist at the Saginaw County Juvenile Detention Center and later as a data collection specialist for the Saginaw Gang Task Force.
While at SVSU, Trice also enrolled in a Constitutional law course taught by Gilbertson, a former attorney.
"It was an eye-opening experience," Trice said of the class.
What may have been an even more important experience was a meeting Gilbertson once requested with Trice.
"He invited me into his office and really opened the door to the law," Trice said. "He encouraged me to attend law school and told me what I needed to do to become eligible.
Soon after, Trice began taking law school admissions tests and speaking with admissions representatives from institutions across the country. After earning a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from SVSU in 1998, he attended the Michigan State University College of Law, where he graduated in 2001.
"I would not have chosen that path if not for the sage wisdom of Drs. Bachand and Gilbertson," he said.
Trice became a defense attorney at Braun Kendrick PLC in Saginaw from 2001 to 2011.
Then he was hired as an assistant prosecutor for Saginaw County until 2015, when he spent 11 months as an assistant U.S. attorney. Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Trice as a Saginaw County District Court judge in 2016, when he replaced the retired M.T. Thompson.
At Trice's swearing-in ceremony in August, Gilbertson was in attendance. Bachand was chosen by Trice to ceremoniously present him with his judge's robe at the event.
Bachand addressed those in attendance, praising his former student.
"SVSU is honored to have graduated Manvel Trice," said Bachand, who discussed Trice's work with SVSU's Alumni Relations board and willingness to mentor students.
"He's also really good at talking to young people about life and decency, honesty and fairness," the president said.
The comments were the ultimate compliment for Trice, who prides himself on providing a positive influence on others, both inside and outside of Room 306.
"It behooves us as professionals to try and bring out the best in people," Trice said.


July 11, 2017 – Hughes Hubbard & Reed is pleased to announce that Jim Dabney, co-chair of the firm's Intellectual Property practice group, has been named to the National Law Journal's Intellectual Property Trailblazers list for the second consecutive year.
In its profile of Dabney, which appeared in The National Law Journal's July issue, the publication noted that he persuaded the Supreme Court to effect important changes in IP law. Dabney has argued four cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, including representing TC Heartland against Kraft.
Fairly early on with TC Heartland, he saw that the Federal Circuit's treatment of patent venue was in deep tension with Supreme Court precedent.
He represented TC Heartland throughout the litigation. On May 22, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously for his client, reversing the Federal Circuit's ruling.
Dabney is co-head of the firm's Intellectual Property and Technology practice group. He specializes in contentious matters involving patents and other forms of intellectual property. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Law at Cornell Law School and a Life Member of the American Law Institute.
