Developing an Accredited Course
Universities are invited to develop an accredited version of this course according to their own quality assurance processes. Guidance is provided below on the types of information typically required for quality assurance, but this can be adapted as required for local conditions.
Gender Equality in University Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
This course is intended to be validated for up to 5 ECTS credits, but institutions can develop this as appropriate for their own context – which may result in a shorter, or longer, course. ECTS credits are a European standard. The acronym ECTS stands for European Credit Transfer System. 5 ECTS credits equates to 100-125 learning hours in total, which can incorporate independent learning, direct instruction, assessment and reflection by the learner. Other credit systems apply in other countries, in which case it is recommended that a number of credits equivalent to 5 ECTS credits are used for this course.
This course is intended to be offered as a special purpose short course at postgraduate level, meaning that participants in the course will already have achieved an undergraduate degree qualification, or equivalent. In the European context, this course will be offered at Level 7 on the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) or the second cycle of the Bologna process. Level 7 on the EQF is easily mapped to corresponding levels on other frameworks (for example, this equates to Level 9 on the Irish National Framework of Qualifications)
Participants in this programme must:
Have an undergraduate qualification at a level corresponding to Level 6 on the European Qualifications Framework (EQF); or professional experience deemed equivalent to this level of formal learning.
Have a role in a University or Higher Education Institution that will enable them to contextualise the learning from the course and carry out the assessment with reference to a specific Higher Education context.
Have an interest in, and a commitment to, better understanding the international, national and institutional contexts for gender equality in Higher Education and, in particular, women's participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programmes and women's professional participation and advancement in STEM disciplines in Higher Education.
Internationally, the participation rates of women students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses are substantially and consistently lower than those of men. Within Universities, women are underrepresented relative to men in senior positions in STEM departments. There is a need for Higher Education to address the gender gap in these disciplinary areas by encouraging more women to participate in STEM programmes, by supporting and enabling women's access to STEM programmes, and by guiding and supporting women as they progress through STEM programmes. Allied to this is a need to enhance professional progression opportunities for women in STEM departments and in Universities leading to greater gender balance in decision making in Universities and more visibility for women as role models in STEM disciplines.
This course provides participants with an opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills relating to addressing gender inequalities in STEM programmes and disciplines in Higher Education. The course has been designed based on the output from the Erasmus+ funded W-STEM project that ran from 2018 to 2022, involving fifteen Universities from ten different countries. Through this project, tools, methods and resources were developed that will assist Universities in understanding gender inequality issues and putting in place action plans to address these issues.
By undertaking this course, participants will gain an understanding of the national and international context for gender inequality in STEM, learn about how to lead and enact change in University (or Higher Education Institution) including the role of a gender action plan and the importance of gaining the support of University leadership, and specifically address matters relating to attraction, access, and guidance for women students on STEM programmes.
Throughout the course, and upon completion of the course, participants can apply their knowledge and skills to address gender inequality in their own University (or Higher Education Institution).
Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:
Describe and critically analyse the context for women's participation in STEM programmes.
Critically evaluate an existing self-assessment and gender equality action plan to enhance women's involvement in STEM programmes.
Reflect upon the requirement for a self-assessment and gender equality action plan to enhance women's involvement in STEM programmes in the learner's own Institution.
Reflect upon the learner's own role in self-assessment and gender equality action planning to enhance women's involvement in STEM programmes.
Utilise and evaluate the tools, applications and designs for attraction, access and guidance campaigns and processes developed as part of the W-STEM project.
Contribute to the W-STEM resource catalogue.

The resources for the course are available on the course website. Access to these is not restricted in any way and the resources are available for reuse by others through a Creative Commons License. The materials are organised into five separate sections, as shown in the Syllabus section. Each section has separate sub-sections as follows:
Welcome: This is a brief video that outlines the objectives of this section, provides a high-level overview of the section, and offers encouragement to the learner.
Explore: This is a collection of learning materials including, for example, a video, written documents, references to readings. This should take learners approximately 2 hours to review in entirety.
Apply and Reflect: This is a series of exercises in which learners will apply the learning that took place in the Explore section and reflect upon their learning.
Extend: This section directs learners to further information about the topic, including information from UNESCO, OECD and other international bodies. This also provides reading materials for the learner to review to extend their knowledge.
The course can be delivered in one of two modes, self-directed or guided.
The self-directed approach involves students being asked to review all the materials available on the course website over a defined period, recommended to be at least four weeks, and then complete the assessment. Using this approach, a course tutor should be available to advise students, to assess students, to provide feedback and to encourage interaction among the class group using, for example, an online discussion forum that is open for the duration of the module. However, there will not usually be scheduled classes, and students can engage with the resources at their own pace and in their own time.
The guided approach will involve scheduled classes over a defined period, recommended to be at least four weeks. The course tutor will define a schedule for the course and make use of the course materials in preparing each class. It is recommended that classes are used to enable discussion and in-depth exploration of specific issues or case studies, and to provide advice and guidance to participants on carrying out the assessment tasks. These classes could take place online, in classrooms or using a blended approach.
Assessment for this course is divided into three assessment tasks, as detailed in the table below. In order to pass the module, the learner must pass each of the three assessments. A mark is not given, but feedback will be provided using the assessment rubric provided with each of the assessment briefs.
The course as a whole is assessed on the basis of pass or fail. A mark is not given for the course.
Assessment Tasks
The learner will match an existing gender equality action plan to their own context (e.g. their own University); and discuss the barriers and opportunities with a relevant decision maker, providing the overall context for women's participation in STEM programmes.
This assessment is mapped to Learning Outcomes 1, 2 and 3.
Activity with W-STEM Resources
The learner will use the resources available through the W-STEM project to carry out an activity to enhance women's participation in STEM programmes, related to their own role. This could include a attraction, access or guidance event or intervention, for example, or a roundtable discussion. This assessment is mapped to Learning Outcomes 4 and 5.
Produce a Resource
The learner will produce a resource that will be of assistance to themselves and others in promoting gender equality. For example, the learner could develop a video of a woman role model in a STEM discipline, such as the videos developed throughout the W-STEM project and available through the W-STEM app and You Tube Channel. This assessment is mapped to Learning Outcome 6.
As part of the W-STEM project, the following book – which represents the recommended reading for this course – was published:
Francisco José García-Peñalvo, Alicia García Holgado, Angeles Dominguez, Jimena Pascual. Women in STEM in Higher Education: Good practices of attraction, access and retainment in Higher Education. Springer (2022).
The W-STEM website is available at https://wstemproject.eu/. Resources available on the W-STEM website include the W-STEM Mobile App (https://wstemproject.eu/app/) and the W-STEM YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/WSTEMproject/videos) through which access is provided to videos on women role models in STEM disciplines; and a series of publications that address matters relating to gender equality and inequality in STEM (https://wstemproject.eu/publications/).

Pendyffryn: The Conquerors
Lily Dewaruile
Christophe Maides has conquered Cwmdu and the flaxen-haired woman bred of the valley. The mountains that surround his new home pose no threat, nor does Morgan Cwmdu whose venom has tormented his beloved wife, Caryl Gernant, for months yet he cannot conquer the dreams torturing his nights and separating him from the only woman he has ever loved.
With the appearance of three hunters, Christophe is catapulted into a past life he has striven to forget and sees in the eldest hunter the man he might have been, the man his wife deserves.
The pain of his young manhood has driven him to live apart, to conceal his heart even from his closest friend. Reluctance to confront the truth drives him to an act of violence fueled by jealousy that costs him all he has fought to win.
The eldest of the hunters claims to be Christophe's younger brother and the two boys to be his nephews, the sons of brothers Christophe knows to have died before reaching manhood.
Caryl Gernant has always known in her heart that Rizah Izberec loved Christophe's father and is eager to hear Rizah's youngest son's story despite her husband's resistance and discomfort.
Christophe, to make reparation for his violence, faces his past and listens without protest to the story of his father and mother's life together. Though he denies there can be any truth in the tale this hunter tells, Christophe cannot deny the resemblance he shares with all three of the hunters, a physical similarity that links them all to his father, Gilles de Maides.
Jedeh Maides, the fifth son of Rizah and Gilles, was born six months after the death of his father. He was raised in the village of his mother's birth, with his elder brothers in the shadow of the one brother most like their father, the only brother who was not raised in the safety of their family home.
Throughout Jedeh's life, Rizah grieved for the loss of her beloved husband and for the son she could not save as she had her three eldest sons. He and his nephews have traveled from Haiastan to find Christophe, learn from him and reassure his mother that Christophe lives and is well.

Detroit teacher union head faces accusations in letter
Ann Zaniewski
Some DFT members say Conn has acted improperly at meetings and allowed teachers to be threatened.
A hearing on the matter will be held Monday.
Simmering tensions within the Detroit Federation of Teachers are about to come to a boil, with some union members accusing controversial president Steve Conn of misconduct.
The allegations range from bad behavior at union meetings to claims that Conn has aligned the union with a national social justice group, all in violation of the DFT's constitution and bylaws, according to a letter Executive Vice President Ivy Bailey posted online Thursday. A closed hearing on the matter will be held Monday.
Conn, 57, has been on the job for about six months since narrowly winning the election in January.
"It's just an attempt to divide and distract the teachers, the members, from the real job of fighting the attacks on our health care, our jobs and our schools," Conn said in response to the charges.
The former teacher has long been a controversial figure. He has strong ties to the fiery social justice group By Any Means Necessary. Some teachers have been circulating petitions trying to recall him.
According to Bailey, members have accused Conn of allowing the union to become affiliated with BAMN without union approval; of improperly canceling and convening meetings; of failing to preside over meetings; of refusing to allow teachers to speak at meetings, and of allowing union members to be threatened and abused at meetings.
"When a member was physically assaulted (an assault captured in a surveillance video and now the subject of a criminal charge), he refused to take action against the attacker, but instead publicly and libelously blamed the victim," Bailey wrote, referring to an incident in which a Conn ally allegedly grabbed a woman in an attempt to take her cell phone.
Bailey also wrote that Conn has been charged with failing to pay dues that the DFT owes to the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and AFT Michigan.
Bailey said about a half-dozen members have filed charges against Conn. To the Free Press, Conn declined to address the charges specifically.
"I'm fully confident that I have the vast majority of members on my side," he said.
Bailey wrote that if there's no successful resolution at the hearing, the union's executive board will decide whether to hold a trial on the charges.

Did Frank tell you to do those things?
The world's going to end because the Bank is foreclosing on his house and Grevious is going to respond by detonating his nuke stash. (which he could have sold to pay for his house).
If you wouldn't mind, grevious, gimme a few extra hours to relocate to my Vault.
Now where are the other 24...?
Hmm, they appear to be attracted by extreme stupidity. Quick, Grievious, make a post!
Paul Allen: "Is that a raincoat?"
Patrick Bateman: "YES it is!"
After Ricky Fitts gets a beating from his father, he goes downstairs where his mother awaits him.
Mum: "Ok. Wear a raincoat."
And, to this day, I still haven't figured out her charachter completely. I mean, what happened to her? How did she become the way she is?
That makes a lot of sense, yes, but I thought she lost it because of Ricky's drug problem and being put into a mental institution. However it doesn't really explain the scene where Ricky introduces Jane to her and she's like: "Oh my god... I apologize for the way things look around here."
So when you don't have a cellphone number it's because you don't have one is that it?
Do you have any other affiliations that we can relate to?
So there is no other affiliations we can correspond to?
...did you at least bring the shotgun?
Goddamn bureaucrats, you gotta to sign a form to request to heist the place!

A supermassive black hole lurks at the center of our galaxy — and we're still trying to understand its structure and behavior. Now scientists have made new detections of Sgr A* in far infrared, helping us to further piece together a picture of this monster.
Past research suggests that most galaxies host a supermassive black hole of millions or billions of solar masses in their center — and the Milky Way is no exception. Our galactic center is dominated by Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), a black hole that weights in at about 4 million solar masses.
We've observed Sgr A* across the electromagnetic spectrum through the years, noting its flux and variability in radio, millimeter and submillimeter, near-infrared, and X-ray wavelengths. A few windows are notably missing, however: dust and atmospheric obscuration have prevented observations of Sgr A* in optical and ultraviolet wavelengths, and in the far infrared at wavelengths shorter than 250 µm.
Though we've learned a lot about our supermassive black hole from observations, we're still short of a fully coherent picture. What is the structure and flow of the gas and dust surrounding the black hole? What causes the various different types of emission we've observed from Sgr A*? Is the variability in flux we see at different wavelengths related? Or does the emission come from multiple different sources, each with its own timescale for variability?
To further build out our understanding of this mysterious source, a team of scientists led by Sebastiano von Fellenberg (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Germany) has now obtained observations of Sgr A* at 160 and 100 µm for the first time, providing new information about Sgr A* in the missing window in the far infrared.
Von Fellenberg and collaborators obtained these far-infrared observations not by looking directly for Sgr A* in these wavelengths, but by looking for its variability. Using ESA's Herschel Space Observatory, the team observed the emission at 160 and 100 µm and then subtracted off the constant emission from the warm dust at the galactic center. After correcting for systematic errors, von Fellenberg and collaborators were left with a faint signature of variable emission correlated between the two wavelengths: emission from around the black hole.
These observations have allowed the authors to place limits on Sgr A*'s far-infrared luminosity. By comparing these limits to the emission predicted by various models of accretion flow onto Sgr A*, von Fellenberg and collaborators have narrowed down the set of models that are consistent with the observations.
Though we still don't have everything figured out about the supermassive black hole at our galaxy's center, this work represents an important step that brings us a bit closer.

"With an outstretch'd throat I'll tell the world aloud what man thou art," says Isabella.
Angelo responds: "Who will believe thee?"
And thus is encapsulated the power of the sexual predator from generation to generation. As it was in 1603 is now.
Many of Shakespeare's devotees like to stress how 'relevant' his work remains, but that is to do him a disservice. Much of his work is not so much relevant as simply true. This can be depressing, as it is in this instance; but this no bleak night at the theatre, thanks largely to a compellingly defiant performance from Lucy Phelps as Isabella.
Antony Byrne as the Duke of Vienna. Picture: Helen Maybanks
One cannot help wondering how much better this play would be without its rather forced comic scenes. That may sound a strange thing to say about a work originally conceived as a comedy, but the central dilemma is so dramatically potent that all the clowning and cavorting feels not just unnecessary but deleterious to the whole. Gregory Doran's stylish production establishes an admirable sense of cohesion, but there is still a problem of coherence, leading to inevitably mixed results.
When it is good, it is by some way the most powerful drama seen on this stage so far this year. The scenes between Isabella and Angelo (Sandy Grierson) are played with a profound emotional intelligence: Phelps's body is even more articulate than her speech, while Angelo is all the more monstrous for his lack of overt monstrosity. Grierson plays him as an uptight and dignified official who believes himself to be virtuous; he is fully human, which makes him all the more menacing. It is through his "unsoil'd name," the "austereness" of his life and his "place i' the state" that he wields his appalling power.
Setting the play in the Vienna of the 1900s is also something of a masterstroke. It lends this rather squalid tale a veneer of gentility and elegance; Stephen Brimson Lewis's design and Simon Spencer's lighting are sharp and slick, while the stage is backed by a row of attractive but distorting mirrors, which display the true grotesquery of proceedings. They also permit a neat device which invites us to draw parallels between Angelo and the ostensibly more benign Duke.
But not everything works so well. Some performances here would benefit from being reined in; there is a fair bit of unnecessary grandstanding, which sometimes threatens to overwhelm matters. And most disappointing of all is the use of regional accents for comic purposes; this has been a dreadful and lazy feature of far too many RSC productions in recent years. Some directors appreciate the need to change this practice but it is a great pity to see Doran, the RSC's artistic director no less, continue to indulge in it. The company has done relatively well in terms of gender, race and disability of late, but it seems class remains a blind spot.
Sandy Grierson as Angelo. Picture: Helen Maybanks
Still, this is overall an appealing production of a challenging play. It is most notable for its depiction of Isabella not as some tiresome prude who values her own chastity over her brother's life, but as a woman standing up to sexual violence. There is a welcome sense of unease to the superficially happy ending, too; Isabella is vindicated but it is hard to see how the lives of the play's women are meaningfully improved, as men manipulative and overbearing retain their control. Relevant, yes. But simply true, too.

Down the aisles bursting with bric-a-brac, towards the so-called antiques huddling in embarrassment in the shadows at the back of the shop.
Look at him! A proper dandy, this one. Dressed to the nines, a touch of bling ... and that fake tan. Sorry mate, that's an epic fail. Who ever told you you'd look good with that on?
Uh – oh, he's seen it. Yes! He's spotted our crowning glory tucked away in the dustiest corner. Bargain hunter, eh? Think yourself a specialist? Well, you've scooped the jackpot here, my friend.
Sure, you can sit on it. Go on! No-one's looking, except us of course. So inviting, isn't it?
Proper antique Gainsborough, that armchair. The deep buttoned leather's a little cracked here and there. A little threadbare on the underside, maybe. Well, we'll see about all that won't we, now? But it's an original, that one.
Yes, it's comfortable isn't it? There! A moment's shut-eye, like all the others before. Why not?
Watch carefully, now. You've never seen the like, I'm sure.
He's trying to get up. But he can't. He's stuck to the leather. His arms and legs have become leaden, strangely drained of all their strength. He strains and struggles now, but can barely raise a squeak. His eyes are sealed shut, and his lips seem glued together too.
He'll feel sucked into the chair by now, heaved in like a strand of linguini into a glutton's fleshy lips. And stretched and stretched. Already his face distends and widens, the features vanishing. His skin is heaved over a growing portion of the backrest with a cracking of bone and sinew.
You won't see this from here, but the springs have punctured his back and the undersides of his thighs, worming their way in, splitting and hooking into flesh to stretch and stretch even more, heaving all his vital organs inwards, within their bouncy structure. The suit is ripped off his contorted body, sucked away with a machine's voracity to add to the stuffing, revealing how his chest and belly have been pulled out, stretched and stretched to the very sides of the chair.

The CNA salary in MS (Mississippi) depends on the city and type of health care facility you are employed in, as well as your experience on the job. Nursing assistant professionals work in a variety of medical centers and are supervised by registered nurses or LPNs as they render services to patients including bathing, grooming, assisting with ROM exercises, and monitoring vital signs.
In Mississippi, certified nursing assistants are paid a decent amount of starting salary ranging from approximately $18,000 to $22,000 per year. The hourly wage is around $10.02. The income that CNAs get will generally let them meet the cost of living for the area. The salary is influenced according to several factors which include the location of work, the organization, and the work experience of the individual.
Urban areas are regarded to have higher cost of living which means that CNA jobs located there are offering more pay rate compared to jobs situated in rural or low cost of living places. Regardless if CNAs work in urban or rural areas, the salary that they get is made reasonable for the living.
The employers in Mississippi hold the decision regarding the amount of salary they offer to certified nursing assistants. Low-paying jobs are those in facilities like home healthcare agencies or nursing homes. Employers including the government agencies, hospitals, and private companies are offering higher pay rate.
It is a great advantage to be an experienced CNA because the individual can have the privilege to decide as to where he or she wants to work and the type of health care facility to be employed with. Experienced CNAs are preferred to be hired by most of the employers. They can even earn higher salary wage compared to entry-level certified nursing assistants.
The health care industry is indeed increasing in demand as the nations population continues to age. Certified nursing assistants make up the majority of the entry level positions available in the medical field. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment opportunities for CNAs will increase by about twenty-one percent in years 2012 to 2022. This anticipated growth is faster than many other occupations.
There is currently a shortage in this profession that means there are a wide range of opportunities available for entry level workers. To get started you will need to be certified through the state registry. To gain the skills practice and knowledge you should consider enrolling in CNA classes in MS. Students must be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma to be eligible to go through a program.

MuCloud
=======

.. warning::  Many changes have occurred since this tool was developed, in both AWS and Python. This project is not being actively maintained and will be archived for further reference. We hope that it still provides a useful example for how to run simulations on cloud resources.

MuCloud runs `MuMax3`_ GPU-accelerated micromagnetic simulations on the cloud, eliminating the need to have a GPU card on your computer.

.. image:: _static/concept.png

With your `Amazon Web Services`_ (AWS) account, virtual computer instances are created using the `Elastic Compute Cloud`_ (EC2). These instances provide on-demand (`price per hour`_) access to physical GPU hardware, that allow the simulations to be run remotely. The script interface mimics MuMax3, so that working with MuCloud is as easy as using MuMax3 on a local computer.

In this paper, I evaluate the performance of two recently proposed approaches to solving and estimating structural models: The Endogenous Grid Method (EGM) and Mathematical Programming with Equilibrium Constraints (MPEC). Monte Carlo simulations confirm that both EGM and MPEC have advantages relative to standard methods. EGM proved particularly robust, fast and straight forward to implement. Approaches trying to avoid solving the model numerically, therefore, seem to be dominated by these approaches.


Last weekend was our annual charity bbq at work, Mark is in charge of the cooking so we collected some equipment from the Scout hut on our way. This year the charity we were supporting was a local autism charity, nominated by one of our site managers whose daughter is autistic.
We collected some wood from the joiners shop and quickly got the bbq lit so it would be ready to cook on when people started arriving at 12pm. Luke was a big help and is a true 1st Longridge Scout as he loves messing with fires!
Once the flames had died down we put the charcoal on and once we had embers we were ready to cook.
We catered for about 140 people, it was hard work but the day went quickly. The day stayed fine until about 3pm when people were gong home so overall we were very lucky. We raised just over a £1,000 which was fantastic.

T1 Everyday Magic
Brought to you by Lilly Diabetes | Disney
How Much Do You Tell Them About Lows?
We generally try to shield young children from the scarier parts of life. As a parent of a child with type 1 diabetes, you know just how serious a severe low blood sugar can be — but how much does your son or daughter really need to know?
For children and teens becoming more independent in counting carbs and checking blood sugar on their own, talking about worst-case scenarios may seem like just too much for kids to handle.
That was what Lauren, a mom from Michigan, thought after her son's diagnosis at age 12.
"In teaching my son Matt about lows, my message was that you treat lows so diabetes doesn't slow you down. I didn't want to force him to contemplate that a severe low could actually result in something much worse than being slowed down."
For a while, this approach worked. Matt adjusted to his diagnosis and did a good job managing care tasks. Then, last spring, Lauren received a call from Matt's school. Matt had developed a severe low and passed out. EMTs were called in for emergency treatment.
Matt quickly recovered, but Lauren was mystified how such a severe low developed in the first place. The mystery was solved when one of her son's teachers called.
"Two of Matt's friends told the teacher that Matt had been planning to get out of the big math exam and had not eaten anything that day so he would go really low right before class. He thought he could just spend the period in the nurse's office drinking juice," Lauren explained.
The information left her shell-shocked. "I couldn't wrap my brain around my son's decision to risk his life to skip a math test. But then it hit me. Did he even know he was risking his life? Did he truly understand the consequences of a severe low? It stopped me in my tracks, because I realized, why should he? This was a part of his diabetes that we never talked about."
In the quest to help children with type 1 diabetes adjust to their diagnosis, parents may decide to skim over certain aspects of the disease to focus on the bright side: that counting carbs and calculating insulin and testing and adjusting to stay in range can help children with type 1 lead perfectly normal lives.
Helping children with diabetes develop a positive and motivated mind-set is a good thing. But leaving out certain information also creates a blind spot that can put them at risk.
What can parents do to help their children understand severe lows without becoming frightened of them?
Spotting the Signs
How you explain diabetes complications to children will depend on their age and maturity level. But as a first step, all kids with type 1 can be taught to recognize what a low blood sugar feels like — and how to get help.
"Even young kids can learn to recognize signs of a low and how to tell their caregiver so the caregiver can perform a blood sugar check [and treat as needed]," says Ronald Hoyler, R.N., a certified diabetes educator at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. "If you're a parent of a newly diagnosed child, you're learning to spot signs of a low right along with your child. Let your child know the signs and behavior changes that made you stop to check their blood sugar."
How you treat the low is important too. As Hoyler notes, when kids come to view lows as a chance to receive a sweet treat, it can sometimes set the stage for less-than-ideal habits to form.
"If parents are treating lows with foods like soda and candy, kids are quick to catch on that 'If I go low, I get a treat.' Kids may then decide to only eat half their meal because they know they will get the treats when they go low. This can set up a dangerous pattern."
Instead, Hoyler recommends choosing "non-treat" foods for lows, like glucose tabs or a glass of milk, which contain rapidly absorbed carbs but not the same sugary appeal as soda or candy. If you're stuck for ideas on foods to treat lows, ask your diabetes care team to give you a list of foods that are convenient and effective. Sometimes candy or soda is the only available food to treat a low, and that's okay.
Kids may also learn that lows can be a form of manipulation to avoid chores, homework, or virtually any activity they find unpleasant. Of course, out-of-range blood sugar can and does happen at inopportune times, even when kids have the very best of intentions. But look out for strange patterns that emerge. "When lows start to become a pattern at school, for example, it's time for parents to get in touch with teachers and the nurse to find out what's going on," Hoyler advises.
After Matt's incident at school, Lauren talked to him more about his math class. As she found out, "He had really fallen behind and was too embarrassed to ask for help. So we worked it out where he would go in after school for a few days to get extra help and take the math test that he missed. He needed to be held accountable for that."
Lauren also stayed more tuned in with Matt's blood sugar numbers throughout the day. "He agreed that he would text me his numbers at 9 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m. This helped us get through a tough time."
Having the Talk
As kids take on more responsibility and independence in their care tasks, such as being able to access settings on their insulin pump or being responsible for checking their own blood sugar most of the time, then it's quite simple: They need to understand the consequences of what can happen if checks are skipped or boluses are incorrectly administered.
"Talking to kids about lows can be hard. You don't want a child living in fear of diabetes. You want them to understand diabetes so they can make good choices," says Hoyler.
Approach teaching children about diabetes emergencies in a calm, clear way. You can enlist the help of your diabetes educator to use appropriate language and answer follow-up questions your child may have. Every child will be different in how they respond to this information, so provide follow-up support as needed.
"As a special way to connect with teens, talk to them about driving. Did they know that if they get pulled over as a consequence of erratic driving while low, they could end up being charged with a DUI and/or have their license suspended? Those kinds of consequences are very real to teens," Hoyler notes.
"When I finally sat down and talked to my son about severe lows, I was amazed by the number of questions that it triggered," says Lauren. "He wanted to know what would happen when he was on his own — how could he be prepared? It was such a good conversation. We ended up making an appointment with his diabetes educator to do additional teaching on preventing and treating emergency lows."
As for waiting a few years after his diagnosis to finally talk about the seriousness of lows, Lauren now feels a little better about the timing. "That incident at school was the wake-up call that my son needed a lot more information about his diabetes. But it was also my wake-up call as a mom that he was ready for this information. In the end, he's now more responsible with his type 1, and that's a silver lining I will take."

Credit Suisse chairman says on track to boost equity return - media
FILE PHOTO: Chairman Urs Rohner of Swiss bank Credit Suisse addresses the bank's annual shareholder meeting in Zurich, Switzerland April 27, 2018. REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann -
ARND WIEGMANN(Reuters)
ZURICH (Reuters) - Cost cuts and closing a unit where Credit Suisse <CSGN.S> had parked underperforming assets will help boost return on tangible equity (ROTE) to at least 10 percent in 2019, Chairman Urs Rohner said in an interview published on Saturday.
He said that target was within reach.
"With that, we will stand out in a cross-comparison with other banks in Europe," Rohner told the Neue Zuercher Zeitung (NZZ), referring to measures such as winding down the bank's Strategic Resolution Unit, a home for assets that have been a drag on the bank's performance.
ROTE was 6.3 percent in the first nine months of 2018.
A lawyer, Rohner has been Credit Suisse's chairman since 2011. He told the newspaper he would like to remain in the post after his current term ends in 2021, but said that would be up to shareholders.
Rohner added that Chief Executive Tidjane Thiam's efforts to restructure the bank may attract job offers from elsewhere, but he was not worried about his CEO jumping ship.
"I know also that he very much enjoys working at Credit Suisse and that he is not planning to leave the bank," Rohner said.
Credit Suisse shares are down 38 percent on the year, more than the 33 percent decline of larger rival UBS <UBSG.S>

Father Henry J. Felsecker, MM
Ordained: February 1, 1931
Died: November 18, 2000
Father Henry Joseph Felsecker died peacefully on Saturday, November 18, 2000. He was 95 years of age and a Maryknoll priest for 69 years.
Henry Felsecker and his twin brother, Gerald, were born on October 6, 1905 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They were the youngest of eight children of Joseph J. and Cecilia Lutfring Felsecker. Henry's early education was at St. Joseph's and St. Michael's parochial schools and Marquette University High School. Having entertained the idea of becoming a priest from his earliest years, he entered St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee. After completing his second year of theology at St. Francis, he transferred to Maryknoll Seminary, Ossining, New York, in September, 1928, where he completed his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained a priest on February 1, 1931 by Archbishop Samuel Stritch in Milwaukee where he had gone to be with his mother before she died on January 26th. He served as a deacon at her funeral Mass at which his brother, Father Bernard Felsecker, officiated at the funeral Mass.
Father Felsecker's first assignment was to the Maryknoll Mission in Fushun, Manchuria, with the instruction to spend a year in Japan to prepare for work among Japanese living in Manchuria. After eight months in Japan, he went to Dairen, Manchuria, where he spent a year and a half. Next, he was sent to Japan to assist the first contingent of Maryknoll priests and Brothers assigned to that country. After several months in Japan, he returned to Manchuria. In 1934, at the request of the Apostolic Delegate to Japan, he was assigned to the staff of the Apostolic Delegation in Tokyo. During his time at the Delegation, delicate negotiations took place concerning the possible acquisition by Maryknoll of a mission territory in Japan. In 1937, the Maryknoll Society was given a mission territory in the Kyoto and Shiga Prefectures and Father Felsecker left the Delegation in Tokyo to become pastor of the Maryknoll Mission in the city of Kyoto. Subsequently, he became pastor of the Maryknoll Mission in the city of Nara and remained there until his Home Leave in August 1940.
After his Home Leave, Father Felsecker was assigned to teach at Maryknoll Seminary, New York, where he also served as spiritual director for a number of seminarians. When World War II broke out in the Pacific in 1941, he was assigned to do pastoral work for a year among the Japanese internees at the Japanese Relocation Camp at Heart Mountain, near Powell, Wyoming. He was then assigned to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., to teach a course in the Japanese language. Having completed that assignment, he was assigned to Maryknoll Development work in the Dubuque, Iowa Diocese.
Shortly after the end of World War II, Father Felsecker returned to Japan where he was named pastor of the Kyoto Cathedral parish and appointed as the Japan Representative of U.S. Catholic War Relief Services. During the ten years in those positions, he also served as the Maryknoll Society Superior in Japan. He met the Emperor of Japan on three occasions and received an imperial Decoration from the Japanese Government for his work. In the course of carrying out his relief work, he met General Douglas McArthur in the General's office on two occasions. For his last eleven years in Japan, he served as chaplain at the Notre Dame Women's College in Kyoto.
In March 1974, at the age of 68, he enrolled in the Special Society Unit and retired to the Maryknoll Residence, Los Altos, California, where he became active in various local pastoral works. Subsequently, in 1975, at the request of the Development Department Director, he took up residence and helped out in the Houston, Texas, Development House. In 1977 he returned to the Maryknoll Residence in Los Altos. After the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake the Maryknoll Los Altos Residence was severely damaged. Father Felsecker and a number of the Los Altos retirees were transferred to St. Teresa's Residence, Maryknoll, New York. After the Maryknoll Residence in Los Altos was repaired, Father Felsecker returned there in January 1991. Father Felsecker returned to St. Teresa's Residence in February 1997 after taking ill while attending the 50th Anniversary of Catholic Relief Services in Japan. He remained at St. Teresa's until the time of his death.
Father Felsecker had a varied and full life as a Maryknoll Missioner. He had a great appreciation for his Maryknoll Superiors and often expressed his understanding of the special burdens that those in authority carry. He was known as a jovial, carefree but serious person and a dedicated missioner in all his various apostolic activities.
Wake services were held on November 19, 2000 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Teresa's Residence and at 7:30 p.m. at Queen of Apostles Chapel at the Maryknoll Center where Father Arthur Dwyer officiated and Brother Richard Kiesel read the biography. Mass of Christian Burial was concelebrated at Queen of Apostles Chapel on November 20, 2000 at 11:00 a.m. Father John McAuley was principal celebrant and Father Francis Diffley homilist. Burial was held at the Society Cemetery at Maryknoll, NY and Father Michael Snyder conducted the graveside service.

"Westworld Season Two" is coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray in December
July 19, 2018 July 24, 2018 ~ Justin Sluss	~ 1 Comment
The HBO series "Westworld" is receiving home video release of its second season, according to an early alert to retailers. "Westworld: Season Two – The Door" is coming to both 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc on December 4th via HBO (Warner). Tech specs and bonus materials have not yet been detailed by the studio, that I have seen, so stay tuned for an update on that. They should be identical to the tech specs on the first season, you would think. Just speculating there, though. The title is available now for PRE-ORDER over at Amazon on both 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc. Below, after below the break, you'll find the cover art to the Blu-ray Disc version.

Antonia Spowers works in a myriad of materials and styles exploring the different potentials of each medium, be it metal, glass or paper. Antonias' recurring interest in circular forms, suggest themes of continuity and connection. For some time the varied aspects of water have been the focus including its structure, behaviour, altered states and multiple associations. Although a sense of connection and continuity runs through the work it is currently moving in a new direction towards issues of disconnection and displacement. The construction and large scale of her paper sculptures evoke feelings of buried layers in the landscape and the re-cycled patterns of energy from the past. Antonia lives and works in Wales.

Q: Node.js: Nested setInterval()-Methods - inner one doesn't stop I need correctly timed, repeated events in node.js. For having a higher resolution than the usual setInterval-method, I use process.hrtime(). The npm-module "nanotimer" (NPM - nanotimer, Github - nanotimer) offers this with common methods like setInterval() and setTimeOut().
The two timers should stop at the same time.
Code goes as follows:
var NanoTimer = require('nanotimer');

var timerA = new NanoTimer();
var timerB = new NanoTimer();

var index = 0;

timerA.setInterval(function(){
    console.log("A");

    timerB.setInterval(function(){
        console.log("B");
    }, '3s');

    if(index > 10){
        console.log("Stop Timer A");
        timerA.clearInterval();
        console.log("Stop Timer B");
        timerB.clearInterval();
    }

    index++;

}, '1s');

Output:
A
A
A
A

A

A
A
Stop Timer A
Stop Timer B    //correct up to here
B               //timerB continues forever, every 3 seconds
B

...

I can't find a way to stop the inner timer. Do you have any suggestion?

This workshop will present a treatment programme to work with Complex PTSD and shame using a compassion focused approach to enhance evidence- based practice informed by CBT.
Those who have been repeatedly traumatised at the hands of others have many challenges to face as they discover how to live a life without trauma and learn how to live in a mind that can flourish. Predominant issues of self- blame, self- loathing, lack of trust, interpersonal difficulties, struggles to regulate threat-based emotions, flashbacks, avoidance and disconnection are prevalent issues to be addressed in therapy. These difficulties are often described as Complex PTSD.
Recent expert consensus (published by the UK Psychological Trauma Society, 2017) recommends Compassion Focused Therapy as part of a phased treatment approach for Complex PTSD and this workshop will explore how to use CFT to develop compassionate resilience as part of this phased based approach. Compassionate resilience can enhance the capacity to self soothe in those who feel deeply shamed about who they are and what they have been through. Being able to access caring compassionate mind states can enhance engagement and provide a safe framework to work directly with trauma narratives and flashbacks.

History Unplugged Podcast

For history lovers who listen to podcasts, History Unplugged is the most comprehensive show of its kind. It's the only show that dedicates episodes to both interviewing experts and answering questions from its audience. First, it features a call-in show where you can ask our resident historian (Scott Rank, PhD) absolutely anything (What was it like to be a Turkish sultan with four wives and twelve concubines? If you were sent back in time, how would you kill Hitler?). Second, it features long-form interviews with best-selling authors who have written about everything. Topics include gruff World War II generals who flew with airmen on bombing raids, a war horse who gained the rank of sergeant, and presidents who gave their best speeches while drunk.

I just spent the last hour looking at 16 year old singer Justin Bieber's videos and memes. Admittedly this might not be the best use of my time, but the depth of his fan culture is truly impressive. You have to wonder if there's an artist out there who could do anything more bizarre with this material than what already exists.
This may be a result of the seed that sprung his stardom; he sang With You on youtube when he was 11. The internet loved it. Now he collaborates with Usher and Justin Timberlake and enjoys a mobbish web fan base. Memes and weird internet phenomenon include the 3 year old crying over Justin Bieber's absence (or something), Waiting for Bieber, a website that culls tweets from fans hoping to be followed, the lesbians who look like Justin Bieber tumblr blog, countless youtube Hitler Bieber parodies and more. Know Your Meme has surprisingly little on the on phenomenon — I suspect Bieber fannery is a little outside their mission of following individual web memes — though he is mentioned in a facebook meme they dub Can This X Get More Than Y. In 2008, an anti-fan mobilization movement, asked users to choose an onion ring over Justin Bieber. The results: Bieber Fan Count: 1,648,758 fans, Onion Ring Fan Count: 2,152,536 fans. The page was subsequently deactivated by Facebook administrators.
Naturally this inspires a fair amount of narcissism. Justin Bieber primarily follows fans who use his own image as their twitter icon and of course like every horny 16 year old, his feed is full of retweets and winks to his female friends. This is by far the least remarkable aspect of the seemingly endless depth of internet fan culture surrounding the kid.
have you seen this? one of the better bieber related things on the internet if you ask me.
That is really good. I hadn't seen it, but then there's literally a bottomless pit of Bieber related material to sort through. I really only scratched the surface.
As odd as it may seem (or not, given my demographic), I just caught wind of this kid a couple weeks ago. Curious only to a point when his video is put in front of my face at AFC, whatever phenomena this kid has spawned doesn't seem worth an hour of my time to pursue. But at least I don't continue to wonder 'who'… and I won't waste much time on the 'why' either.
I guess i'm glad that i haven't heard of him till now. another upside to quitting tv. also whats a meme?
Just before reading this post I was looking at magazine covers while waiting in line at the grocery store and wondering if anyone has ever seen the back of Justin's head. It must look funny, with all the hair brushed to the front like that.

Ippolito (II) d'Este (25 August 1509 – 2 December 1572) was an Italian cardinal and statesman. He was a member of the House of Este, and nephew of the other Ippolito d'Este, also a cardinal. He is perhaps best known for his despoliation of the then 1,400-year-old Hadrian's Villa, built by the Roman emperor Hadrian, removing marbles and statues from it to decorate his own villa, the Villa d'Este.

Biography
Ippolito was born in Ferrara, Italy, the second son of Duke Alfonso I d'Este and Lucrezia Borgia. His elder brother, Ercole II d'Este, succeeded his father as Duke of Ferrara in 1534. Through their mother, Ippolito and Ercole were grandsons of Pope Alexander VI. Ippolito himself is named after his uncle, Cardinal Ippolito d'Este.

In 1519, at the age of 10, he inherited the archbishopric of Milan from his uncle. This was the first of a long list of ecclesiastical benefices which Ippolito was given over time, the revenue from which was his main source of income. In addition to Milan, at the end of his life Ippolito also held the benefices of the sees/abbeys of Bondeno, Chaalis (1540–1572), Jumieges in Normandy, Lyon, Narbonne, and Saint-Médard in Soissons.

Ippolito d'Este was created Cardinal of Santa Maria in Aquiro by Pope Paul III in the consistory on 20 December 1538. He was only ordained a priest in 1564.

Patronage of the arts

A lover of luxuries and magnificence, he overhauled the Palazzo San Francesco in Ferrara before his first appointment to the French court. After his elevation to the College of Cardinals in 1538, he refurbished the palace of his cousin, Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga, which he rented as his cardinalatial residence in Rome. He had the Villa d'Este built in Tivoli by Mannerist architect Pirro Ligorio, to match the other palaces he was building in Rome. To decorate his villa, he had much of the marbles and statues taken from the nearby ancient Hadrian's Villa, as a result of which the latter is devoid of most of its original features.

Ippolito d'Este also helped to sponsor the career of the composer Palestrina.

Statesman
At the time of his elevation to Cardinal he was the Ferrarese ambassador to the French court, whose interests he was to see to personally as Cardinal-Protector of France from 1549, in the reign of Henry II. In 1550 he was governor of the French-controlled territory Tivoli. Such was the strength of his relationship with the French court that he was the French candidate in the conclave which elected Pope Julius III, Paul III's successor.

After this defeat he mostly abandoned active ecclesiastical politics, although he continued to visit Rome and, in fact, eventually died in Rome after a short illness. He was buried in Tivoli's church of Santa Maria Maggiore, next to his villa.

A significant number of Ippolito's letters and account books from his household has survived. This collection, including more than 2,000 letters and over 200 account books, is housed in the archives in Modena, a hereditary seat of the Este family. These materials form the basis for Mary Hollingsworth's book, The Cardinal's Hat: Money, Ambition, and Everyday Life in the Court of a Borgia Prince, a social history of Ippolito d'Este and his times.
