In every country, a surgery, trauma, complications in pregnancy, a victim of a road traffic accident or an unforeseen injury requires immediate care through blood transfusions. Here are some of the facts that one should know about blood transfusions.
A blood transfusion is a process that involves taking blood from one person (the donor) and giving it to someone else who needs it.
Transfusions are done when people are in life-threatening medical problems. Usually, in a transfusion, a person gets whole blood, i.e., blood that contains all its components that include plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Each of these components have different functions to carry out in our blood.
• Plasma is a yellowish, watery liquid that holds red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
• Red blood cells pick up oxygen from lungs and then move it to the heart so that oxygen is pumped all over the body.
• White blood cells fight off foreign bodies that could make the body sick.
• Platelets are cells that seal your wound and stop you from bleeding.
What can be done to reduce my child's need for blood before an operation?
• Encourage your child to have a well balanced diet.
• Keep a check on your child's iron levels which is very essential, and start supplements if necessary.
Can I donate my blood to my child?
It is usually discouraged as the risk of transfusion reactions is extremely high.
How will my child feel during a transfusion?
Most children don't find a difference, but some may develop a slight fever, rashes or chills. Some children, who are very sensitive, may have a mild reaction or allergy which can be easily treated with proper medication.
How do I ensure that the transfusion is safe for my child?
Almost always yes. Thanks to the advances in technology and the more careful handling by medical experts, transfusions are much safer these days, but are not completely risk free. Your doctor will explain to you how they have weighed up the risks and benefits of the transfusion for your child's case before any transfusion procedure.
The most avoidable risk of a transfusion is to be given blood of a wrong blood group. It is important that your child wears an identification band so that there is no confusion with the type of blood that needs to be used.
Do not hesitate to ask the staff if you can check your child's details, i.e., full name, date of birth, on the tube and all the other paper work before the transfusion takes place as that can determine the health of your child.

Chief Medical Officer Advocates Booster Jab
January 12, 2022 Tóháti ZsuzsaLeave a Comment on Chief Medical Officer Advocates Booster Jab
The chief medical officer has strongly recommended that everyone should receive a third, booster jab against Covid, and argued that protection would decrease 3-4 months after the second shot.
The jabs are available at vaccination points and from general practitioners, Cecília Müller told a press conference on Tuesday, adding that residents could choose from five kinds of "effective and safe" vaccines. Müller welcomed the results of recent vaccination campaigns, in which people could receive the jab without prior registration, and said that some 300,000 people received their first shots through the programme. She said that the aim was to ensure that anyone could get the vaccine "without technical or physical restrictions".
She also said that the highly infectious Omicron variant currently accounted for 29% of new infections in Hungary. She said that Omicron caused milder symptoms in general, but warned that "it may not be true in the case of individuals; the gravity of symptoms depends on one's state of health and their level of vaccination". Concerning vaccination of the 5-11 age group, Müller said that the dates originally offered had all been reserved, but a further opportunity would open for them to get the shots on Saturdays. Müller said that the number of cases "with flu-like symptoms" was low, adding that it was likely that, similarly to last year, there would be no flu epidemic. She noted, however, that flu numbers usually peaked in late January or early February.

Did you find that successful e-commerce merchants often have products that well meet the needs of the consumers? They always get hot products to lead the whole markets. Are they more intelligent? Absolutely not. They are the men who take time to analyze the trending products of the new season via many internet tools. And of course, they do well in marketing. And today I don't want to talk about the marketing techniques, instead, how to choose the trending products for drop shipping. Especially for many green hands on e-commerce business, choosing the correct products to start their business is very significant. And after you find your favorite products, just to cooperate with CJ drop shipping that will help you find the exact ones and fulfill orders for you. All things are perfect!
Choose the trending products for drop shipping is a necessary course to do your business, which needs unceasing researching and exploring. But it's not very difficult as you think of. I these ways as follows can help you guys.
This is a necessary one for you to calculate the trending products.
If you cannot judge if the product can be sold well and bring huge profit to you, I suggest you to search this product on Google Trends to analyze its sales and trends. If the sales is down year after year, it's hard to be hot again.
Google trend is a free tool that not only shows the search volume for a product but also tells if the product is trending up or down. Another benefit is that you can find the number of searches in different regions of a particular country.
Except for Google Trend, you can source the trending products via current popular e-commerce platforms. You can see what products are sold well on those platforms. I just list some here.
There are some websites that particularly help merchants to find trending products. Take Jungle Scount (https://www.junglescout.com/) for example. It is very professional research the products on Amazon and then help sellers easier to find the high profit, high demand products, but they charge all information on the web.
Why pay attention to these guys? Because in recent years, online celebrities who have huge fans have been a powerful force that plow through the whole e-commerce market. You'll find their clothing and apparel cause a fashion trend of society. They have been another kind of stars.

Amsterdam ArenA's old stadium seats get a second life
Almost all of the 53,000 stadium seats in the Amsterdam ArenA have been replaced in recent months. The old seats are getting a second life with sustainable recycling. Today, one section of seats is available for sale to Ajax fans. The proceeds will go to the Ajax Foundation.
After over 21 years, the ArenA seats were due for replacement. Now a long-cherished dream of Ajax supporters has come true: the ArenA has turned red-and-white. But what to do with so many old stadium seats?
Ajax Foundation
Some of the best seats – over 7,000 – have been donated to football clubs in the Netherlands, Curacao and Suriname. But there are more possibilities, according to a study by the University of Amsterdam. Their survey has revealed that Ajax fans are very keen to buy the old stadium seats. That's why from today onwards fans can order an ArenA seat online from the Ajax web shop www.ajax.nl or pick one up at the Ajax Shop in the Amsterdam ArenA. Each sold seat delivers a donation to the Ajax Foundation. The Ajax Foundation supports projects for disadvantaged young people in Amsterdam.
Three variants
Three variants will be made available for sale: a loose backrest and seat that users can turn into a new chair themselves; a seat with steel frame; and a seat with a wooden frame. The three variants were designed and made by Koninklijke Ahrend bv and the socially aware enterprise Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen (School Furniture). These companies have made the variants available at cost price, ranging from € 50.00 to € 65.00. The loose backrest and seat costs € 7.75.
Circularity project
"Amsterdam ArenA is one of the most sustainable stadiums in the world," says Henk Markerink, CEO of the Amsterdam ArenA. "That's why it was a logical choice for us to go for circularity, the sustainable reuse of seats. Together with Ajax, Amsterdam University of Technology (Hogeschool van Amsterdam, HvA), Ahrend, Presikhaaf and the waste processors Van Gansewinkel, we have come up with a nice solution, which also fits the Ajax Foundation."
New raw materials
In addition to chairs, it seems that more can be made from the material that went into producing the old stadium seats. Researchers in the HvA Urban Technology program have studied the constituent materials to learn if they can be turned into something new. Because what can you do with the seats that don't get sold or go to other clubs? It seems that the polypropylene in the backrest and seat is good for digital production – such as 3D printing – even if the seats are over 21 years old. In addition, a few dozen seats are being made available for a design challenge organized by the HvA for designers in the Amsterdam Made collective. And students doing the HvA Engineering: Product Design course will design new products for 3D printing out of the remaining material. The leftover seats will be recycled by waste processor Van Gansewinkel into new raw materials.

T.J. Yeldon has Career Day in London
By Ivan White
Former Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon made a huge statement in his first game returning from injury on Sunday. Yeldon rushed for 115 yards on 20 attempts, and also rushed for his first career touchdown.
Yeldon missed last week's game against the Houston Texans with a groin injury and was questionable to play on Sunday. That didn't stop the former Crimson Tide back from shredding the Buffalo Bills and their sixth ranked rush defense.
The only other running back competing with Yeldon for the starting position is Toby Gerhart and his showing today did not help his case to get increased playing time. Gerhart rushed six times for eight yards and failed to gain 1 yard on four consecutive goal-line carries on the Jaguars' first drive of the second half.
Yeldon and the Jaguars were the home team in today contest despite being over 4,000 miles away from their home field. This game was held at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
This was Yeldon's second 100 plus yard rushing game of the season.
With his performance today Yeldon now has 291 rush yards on 81 attempts and is averaging 3.6 yards per carry. Following their bye week Yeldon and the Jags will go against the New York Jets who have the best rush defense in the NFL.

Having released his first full-length solo album just five years ago, it may seem a little soon for a Frank Turner best-of compilation. But as the British folk/punk (or is that punk/folk?) singer-songwriter tries to transfer his UK success to the states, it�s actually a smart move � and an impressive nod to an already burgeoning body of work.
�Last Minutes and Lost Evenings� may not hold together as well as his albums of original material � notably last year�s �England Keep My Bones,� a stellar, foul-mouthed love letter to his home country. But it�s an excellent primer for those unfamiliar with Turner�s tough, impassioned shout-outs to rock �n� roll salvation and the healing power of good, old-fashioned camaraderie.
The songs from Turner�s last two albums stand out, particularly �Try This At Home� and �I Still Believe,� two of the best paeans to simple rock �n� roll salvation to come along this century. But all of Turner�s full-throated shout-outs to friends, family, country, music and everything else that makes life worth living are more dynamic and clearly heartfelt than most of what passes for modern rock music. In short, if you still don�t know Turner, you should � and this disc, complete with a companion DVD of him belting the songs live, is a great place to start.

"It all starts with a sentence," Dr. Hochman said. Focusing on the fundamentals of grammar is one approach to teaching writing. But it's by no means the dominant one. Many educators are concerned less with sentence-level mechanics than with helping students draw inspiration from their own lives and from literature…Three-quarters of both 12th and 8th graders lack proficiency in writing, according to the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress. And 40 percent of those who took the ACT writing exam in the high school class of 2016 lacked the reading and writing skills necessary to successfully complete a college-level English composition class, according to the company's data.
So far, however, six years after its rollout, the Core hasn't led to much measurable improvement on the page. Students continue to arrive on college campuses needing remediation in basic writing skills…Adherents worry that focusing too much on grammar or citing sources will stifle the writerly voice and prevent children from falling in love with writing as an activity.
Free writing helps get your intuition back when you make space for it.
Students need to stop the chattering of the rational mind.
One student wrote about the 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti.
The student was struggling with how to begin the essay.
Teachers need to start by exposing them to great writing.
Over the years there hasn't been much measurable improvement.
Students still need remediation in basic writing skills.
There is virulent debate about what approach is best.
Good teachers know the importance of rigorous writing.
Simple worksheets can reinforce basic writing concepts.
Molly Cudahy, who ___fifth-grade ___education at the Truesdell Education Campus, a ___school in Washington, D.C., said she ___Dr. Hochman's explicit and technical approach. She thought it would___her students' voices, not ___them. At her school, 100 percent of___come from low-income families.

At this point, no matter how exhausted you already are, you'd probably feel the urge to keep writing.
But in fact, this may be a mistake. Quit while you're ahead.
Research by the University of Sydney's Center for the Mind illustrates the benefits of pausing work. In an experiment, they asked two groups of students to come up with as many creative uses for a piece of paper as possible. One group worked on the task without interruption, while the other had a break in the middle before returning to the job again.
The result? The second group came up with far more solutions than the first.
So, give your ideas time to mature by taking a break, and you might be amazed at how they've transformed and multiplied when you pick up work again.
When the mere thought of another day at work fills you with dread, it's not a good sign. Indeed, you may be close to a burnout.
One solution is to take a break: a few weeks or more off work. But before you pack up and head to the nearest beach, bear this in mind.
The purpose of a pause is to accomplish something meaningful. For this, you have to understand your yearnings – your deepest desires in life. To do that, use the "so that" test. Start by thinking of something you want. Then ask yourself why you want it by adding "so that" to your answer.
For example, let's say Dave wants more money. "Why?" he asks himself. "So that I can buy a boat." Continuing in this way, he may come to realize that he really wants money because he yearns for a sense of freedom.
Finally, using your yearnings, ideas, and intentions, draft a plan for your pause. This shouldn't be a to-do list of chores, but rather a rough guide for making the most out of your break.


Nothing but Shark Diving all Year Long!
Chile may not be a shark diving mecca but I was after a rarely photographed little catshark that lives in Central Chile's shallow bays and wraps its eggs around stunted kelp trees. I'm happy to say that it was a successful trip. Follow this link for more Redspotted Catshark Info.
Next year is shaping up to be the biggest year so far for shark trips. Unofficially, the shark season kicks off at Socorro Island during our Manta Trip. I expect that we'll bump into at least 3 species of sharks at Socorro but the first dedicated shark expedition will be at Tiger Beach in April. Shark magnet and award winning film maker Joe Romeiro will be joining me on the boat; adding some extra magic to the shark encounters. We'll be visiting all the best spots like Tiger Beach, Fish Tales and other sharky reefs and probably exploring some new ones. Grab the last spot if you'd like to join us: Tiger Beach Expedition or join our second Tiger Beach trip next October.
After one day back in Florida, BFE's final oceanic whitetip expedition starts in Cat Island, Bahamas. This year's oceanic expedition was outstanding with more oceanics than anyone expected plus some silky sharks mixed in just for fun. We also pioneered some unique split frame photo ops with the resident nurse sharks right in the marina.
Then, Big Fish Expeditions heads to South Africa for a sold out Shark Safari of epic proportions. 14 species in 11 days. Now that's an expedition!
I'd like to stay longer in Scotland and shoot some little British catsharks but the Whale Sharks will be congregating in Mexico. Next year's Isla Mujeres whale shark boats are almost full. If you want to swim next to the biggest fishes in the sea, this is your chance. Don a mask and fins and jump into an encounter that you'll never forget: Whale Shark Encounter.
And finally, next December I'm putting together a thresher shark trip. I've wanted to photograph threshers for a very long time but I've been put off by the no-flash photography rules and dwindling encounters at Malapascua in the Philippines.
In Jan 2014 I have an already sold out Blue Whale Expedition to Sri Lanka. If that sounds like a dream trip, well… it probably will be. If you'd like to be put on the waiting list please let me know.
And, I have one cancellation on the Jan 2014 Killer Whale trip to Norway. Let me know if you're coming!
I know it's a long way off but this is a big ticket trip. Join me in February 2015 for leopard seals in Antarctica!
Don't let your gills dry out over Christmas!


Sick of planting conifer trees to feed the Deer??
Bud capping is taking a sheet of paper and stapling it over the terminal (tallest bud) to prevent deer from eating it off and stunting the growth of small trees. Each fall staple a new sheet until the trees are 4-5ft tall out of deer range. Paper is biodegradable so is safe to use. Staple the paper on 3 times and get some needles in the staple to secure it on and prevent it from just blowing off in the wind.
OAK WILT! - Has its own Tab!
Don't let Frost Cracks ruin your Trees!!!
Not only us humans need winter coats, some of our trees do too! Winter is upon us and now is the time to prevent young trees and other yard trees with thin bark or planted trees from FROST CRACKS! Frost cracks are vertical cracks running up and down the trunk of the tree. This occurs when the sun during the day warms up the trunk of the tree causing the tissues inside the tree to expand and then the bitter cold drops temperature quickly causing the outer trunk of the tree to contract faster then the inner tissues and causes a pressure on the outer bark, causing the crack. These cracks on trees can be dangerous due to the increase of susceptibility to disease. Its an easy entry for woody decay organisms-insects, fungi and bacterias. Common trees to watch out and protect include maples, walnuts, oaks and fruit trees. It is also important to protect younger trees, including recently planted trees-- they have not developed the strength and if they do get frost cracks it will lead to a faster mortality of the tree when diseased. Prevention is key. Wrapping trees from the ground all the way up to the first main branches is the best prevention method.
White Pine Blister Rust causes cankers on the lower branches of the tree. The alternate hosts are gooseberry and currant.
May- In May cream colored blisters form on the bark where the cankers have injured the tree. The blisters will break open and release spores of a powdery orange-yellow color. These spores then infect the gooseberry and current plants.
June to July- The yellow-brown blisters on the cankers produce a sticky orange fluid that eventually hardens and turns black. (This will attract rodents to tree).
Because White Pine Blister Rust is common in younger trees- inspect your trees year round for this signs, especially if you have gooseberry or current species present. Look for the cankers on branches or trunks and for orange blisters. If you find an infected tree remove the tree before it harms others or remove/prune infected branches if not yet spread before August. Also removal of alternative hosts before August to stop spread.

Q.1 If you are elected, what are your top priorities to address?
Target the wastage of ratepayers money through budget blowouts.
Support the freeze of rates for 2 years.
Q.2 What is your position on Climate Change?
I'm not an activist but I do acknowledge we need to make changes in our lifestyles to reclaim back our precious environment.
Anything the Council can do to encourage this from their ratepayers should also be actioned by them to lead by example.
I would certainly be proposing that existing and future street lighting be replaced by smart energy efficient lighting.
Propose that the Council provide subsidies in conjunction with the State/Federal Governments for ratepayers who proceed with "Green" focused installations of power sources (eg. Solar Panels), water retention (eg. Storage Tanks), and other measures that reduce our carbon footprint. I certainly encourage our ratepayers to come forward with suggestions they have regardless of what others may think. It might be something from left field, but then progress has always come from people who think outside the square.
Q.3. Banyule City Council has recently endorsed a comprehensive Community Climate Action Plan and also the Corporate Emissions Reduction Plan. How will you support BCC to become carbon neutral by 2028 and the Banyule municipality to become carbon neutral by 2040?
I support the measures that have been proposed in these reports. Council needs to now actively seek solutions to achieve these targets and where possible exceed expectations. With the support of ratepayers and other interested groups/parties I believe this to be achievable.
Q.4 With the construction of the North-East Link (NEL) set to carve several of Banyule's suburbs in two, how will you support the affected residents and businesses, and what steps will you take to make sure our beautiful environment is protected?
The NEL is a necessity but it should still be constructed with the intention of minimising the impact on our ratepayers, businesses and environment. I will support the necessary measures to ensure this happens.
Q.5 What practical steps will you take to support to community groups that are focused on taking positive action on climate change?
[No submission]
Q.6 Do you have anything else you would like to add?

1. Continuing to drive our transition to a clean, sustainable and prosperous future. As noted later in this questionnaire, I moved the resolution for Banyule City Council to become carbon neutral by 2028. I also moved the resolution for the City of Banyule to become carbon neutral by 2040.
2. Continue to minimise rates and charges – keeping rates and charges at CPI level or lower – just like we have over the last four years. Sound financial management and stewardship of community funds is driving principle in my approach on Council.
3. Continue to support local residents, businesses and the community to get through COVID-19 and move strongly into the recovery phase. Times are challenging and the Council needs to step-up to help the community get through.
4. Continue to "call in" major development applications that may adversely impact on the amenity of local residents. I will ensure the Council planning department has the resources to successfully defend appeals to Council planning decisions at VCAT.
5. Continue to deliver local projects that improve the liveability of our local area. Commitments include: transforming the Redmond court wetland; completing the new pavilion at Binnak Park; completing the bike path under the electricity transmission lines from Plenty Road to Watsonia Station; delivering the Watsonia town square in consultation with the community; and advocating for the State Government to improve accessibility and facilities at the Watsonia train station.
Climate Change is a fundamental challenge facing communities around the world. All levels of government, including Council, have a key role to play in dealing with Climate Change and transitioning to a sustainable future. A proactive approach to dealing with Climate Change also offers the communities to embrace new business and economic opportunities, in particular new jobs. This is why I played such a pivotal role in having the Banyule City Council declare a Climate Change emergency and taking big steps to create a sustainable future as set-out in your next question.
As Deputy Mayor I moved the resolution for Banyule City Council to become carbon neutral by 2028. I also moved the resolution for the City of Banyule to become carbon neutral by 2040. I am absolutely committed to Council's work in creating a sustainable future for our local community and will continue my strong advocacy in this area if re-elected.
The North East Link is a major State Government commitment. I see Council's role in the process to be a fierce and resolute advocate for local residents and businesses to:
1. Ensure the best possible design outcomes for Banyule;
2. Secure complimentary projects that promote the liveability of our city; and
3. Minimise the adverse impacts during the actual build of the project.
In terms of design, I have been a key advocate of the "long tunnel" option to minimise cut-and-cover construction during the building phase of the project which would be highly disruptive. The "long tunnel" option would also reduce the loss of significant trees and public open space along the NEL corridor.
In terms of complimentary projects, I am advocating strongly for a complete upgrade of the Watsonia station, in particular the provision appropriate access for our older and disabled residents. I am also advocating for a bus transport interchange at Greensborough which would transform bus usage in the north eastern suburbs.
Finally, in terms of the construction impacts, I am working actively with the Watsonia Traders on their needs and priorities. I was instrumental in securing $40,000 per annum for the local Traders to assist with their own communication and advocacy work on the North East Link.
As noted earlier, I moved the resolution for the City of Banyule to become carbon neutral by 2040. As part of this resolution, we adopted a comprehensive package to support and empower our local community, including our local sustainability and environment groups, to help drive the community transition to our sustainable future. A good example of the package is Council's program to roll-out free solar panels to sporting groups and community organisations. This program will enable all eligible clubs and groups to receive free solar panels – saving them money on their electricity bills and benefiting our environment. I am absolutely committed to expanding these practical, local initiatives if re-elected to the Council.
I look forward to working the community to continue to drive our transition to our sustainable future if re-elected.

Permit me to make one impractical suggestion. Try to catch "The Clock" between 10 P.M. and 7 A.M. The passing of midnight is a highlight, as you might expect. But keep watching. The video always engages your mind, but it also tugs on your body, especially after midnight. The longer you stay up—after Klute, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and dozens of other characters have gone to bed—the more giddy and delirious you feel, and you become one with the blearily agitated characters onscreen.
The Lincoln Center screening will be held in the David Rubenstein Atrium and is free, with admission on a first-come-first-serve basis. (Prepare to wait in line.) The piece will run Tuesdays through Thursdays from 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. and continuously from 8 A.M. on Fridays to 10 P.M. on Sundays until August 1st. The exhibit is closed on Mondays. More information is available at the Lincoln Center Festival Web site.

Native Affairs - Matariki Myths?
Matariki, the Māori New Year, but have we got it all wrong? One Māori astronomer says we've got the meaning, date, history and number of stars in the constellation all wrong. Dr Rangi Mataamua says it's time to correct a few myths and for Māori to reclaim back the Matariki story.


A defined set of colours is known as a colour space or colour gamut. Three examples are, sRGB, CMYK and CIE 1931 color space. sRGB colours are created by combining red, blue or green light and is the prevailing standard in the TV and computer industry. The printing industry needs to subtract light, eg white paper, by using ink. The colour that a surface displays depends on which parts of the visible spectrum are not absorbed and therefore remain visible. CIE 1931 RGB are the perceived colours in human vision.
The RGB of sRGB stands for Red, Green, Blue while the 's' means standard. In computer terms each are known as a channel. The 'A' stands for Alpha and is an optional channel which handles transpancy.
D65 is the colour sRGB uses for white. It corresponds roughly to a midday sun. The 65 is 6503.6K on the colour temperature scale.
Over 16.7 million colours can be created by combining 256 of all three colours (256 x 256 x 256). This set of 16.7 million colours are known as true color or 24-bit color. Each colour is numbered 0-255. It is like each light is on a dimmer. Turning all three lights off creates black (0,0,0). Turning all three lights on, creates white (255,255,255). Turning on just the red (255, 0, 0) yeilds red, etc. To get the zco.mx orange the red light is on, 255; the green light is 102 of 255 of the way on and the blue light is off; 255,102,0. In hexadecimal (hex), 255 equals 0xFF, 102 is 0x66 and 0 is 0x00.
The four colours used in the printing industry are cyan, magenta, yellow; as well as a key colour, black. This colour space is named CMYK. CMYK does completely overlap with sRGB as well it can't represent the brightness of sRGB colours and thus its colours can look quite different. Instead of numbers CMYK uses percentages. It's the percentage of pigment needed to be added to white in order to create the colour. 0%, 0%, 0%, 0% is white, 100%, 0%, 0%, 0% is cyan, etc.
Conclusion: The pros for PSD outweigh the pros for TIFF.
+ png - lossless - Lossless means there is no loss in image quality.
+ png - transparency - The transparency information is stored in a separate channel called the alpha channel (A). If a png has a colour space of RGB, then there is no transparency. If a png has a colour space of RGBA, then the image is making use of the alpha channel.
- png - slightly larger file sizes - The png file format produce the best image quality (lossless) and so the trade off is a larger file size. Although the file sizes of PNG and JPEG are comparable one can further decrease the file size of PNGs using a program called pngcrush (win | mac | linux) and still maintain lossless image quality.
+ jpg - smallest file sizes - If image quality isn't of most importance then JPEGs could be used, eg sharing large photos on the web.
- jpg - loss of quality (lossy) - The biggest drawback to the JPEG format is loss of quality. When an image is exported to JPEG artifacts and blurring will occur. If that image is then resized and saved as JPEG it will become more distorted.
+ gif - animation - The GIF file format supports the ability to loop through a set of images.
- gif - deprecated - any image that isn't animated should use PNG. PNG images have smaller files, are a more modern format and have better support in image viewers.
Conclusion: Since most comic art images will be either 256 colour or 256 grayscale, then PNG8 file format would best.
Every print shop will have their own workflow and thus the file format they ask for can vary. One common file format is TIFF w/SWOP embedded.
NOTE: CMYK shouldn't be used for web view/cbz. It's possible these images will crash, or look incorrect in, image viewer programs.


It's a new era for the organization that we used to call the Boy Scouts. ScoutsBSA welcomed its first all girl troops over the weekend. Naturally, the move has generated its share of outrage, but it's worth talking about because it says a lot about our culture.
First of all, there's the capitulation to culture that we've seen the Boy Scouts undergo over the past few years. First, they allowed women to lead troops in 1988. Then, for decades, the Boy Scouts stood firm and wouldn't give in to the push to allow gay members and leaders. That changed in 2013, when the organization allowed gays to join the Scouts. Two years later, the caved even more, and let gays lead troops. In another two years, Boy Scouts made room for transgender scouts.
We shouldn't have been surprised that the Boy Scouts – I mean, ScoutsBSA – would allow girls soon enough. And of course we're hearing from the usual suspects how the move is a triumph of equality. Even the girls in Washington DC's first all-girl troop sound like little feminists.
Seriously? What 11-year-old girl talks like this? I wonder how long it'll be before someone pushes ScoutsBSA to integrate troops (currently, troops are segregated but can meet at the same time and place).
What else does it say about culture? It's abundantly clear that plenty of girls are dissatisfied with the Girl Scouts. Their continued doubling down on left-leaning causes and stances that turn a lot of people off – not to mention those expensive cookies – have driven plenty of girls away.
The reaction to ScoutsBSA's move on the part of the Girl Scouts is telling as well.
The Girl Scouts nailed their Sour Grapes badge on that reaction.
Look, say what you want about the changes that the Boy Scouts have made in admitting girls into their organization – I'm not crazy about it, but not enough to raise too much of a stink – but at least they seem to be clinging to values that most people agree on and that don't offend too many people.

Trachyandesite is an extrusive igneous rock with a composition between trachyte and andesite. It has little or no free quartz, but is dominated by sodic plagioclase and alkali feldspar. It is formed from the cooling of lava enriched in alkali metals and with an intermediate content of silica.

The term trachyandesite had begun to fall into disfavor by 1985 but was revived to describe extrusive igneous rocks falling into the S3 field of the TAS classification. These are divided into sodium-rich benmoreite and potassium-rich latite.

Trachyandesitic magma can produce explosive Plinian eruptions, such as happened at Tambora in 1815. The Eyjafjallajökull 2010 eruption (VEI4), which disrupted European and transatlantic air travel from 14–18 October 2010, for some time was dominated by trachyandesite.

Petrology
Trachyandesite is characterized by a silica content near 58% and a total alkali oxide content near 9%. This places trachyandesite in the S3 field of the TAS diagram. When it is possible to identify the minerals present, trachyandesite is characterized by a high content of sodic plagioclase, typically andesine, and contains at least 10% alkali feldspar. Common mafic accessory minerals are amphibole, biotite or pyroxene. Small amounts of nepheline may be present and apatite is a common accessory mineral. Trachyandesite is not a recognized rock type in the QAPF classification, which is based on the actual mineral content. However, latite is recognized in this classification, while benmoreite would likely fall into either the latite or the andesite fields.

Trachyandesite magmas can have a relatively high sulfur content, and their eruption can inject great quantities of sulfur into the stratosphere. The sulfur may take the form of anhydrite phenocrysts in the magma. The 1982 El Chichón eruption produced trachyandesite pumice rich in anhydrite, and released 2.2 × 107 metric tons of sulfur.

Varieties
Sodium-rich trachyandesite (with %Na2O > %K2O + 2) is called benmoreite, while the more potassic form is called latite. Feldspathoid-bearing latite is sometimes referred to as tristanite. Basaltic trachyandesite is transitional to basalt and likewise comes in two varieties, mugearite (sodium-rich) and shoshonite (potassium-rich).

Occurrence
Trachyandesite is a member of the alkaline magma series, in which alkaline basaltic magma experiences fractional crystallization while still underground. This process removes calcium, magnesium, and iron from the magma. As a result, trachyandesite is common wherever alkali magma is erupted, including late eruptions of ocean islands and in continental rift valleys and mantle plumes.

Trachyandesite is found in the Yellowstone area as part of the Absaroka Volcanic Supergroup, and has been erupted in arc volcanism in Mesoamerica and at Mount Tambora.

Why Princess Eugenie's Role in the Royal Family Is Very Different From Prince Harry's
Here's what it really means to be a "working royal."
Max Mumby/IndigoGetty Images
Last week, a petition circulated the internet demanding that the royal family pay for the full cost of Princess Eugenie's upcoming wedding. Specifically, the campaign, which was started by anti-monarchist group Republic, took issue with the fact that taxpayers will foot the bill for the day's security measures.
Republic would like to see the entire British monarchy abolished in favor of a democratic republic in the UK, but the crux of the group's argument against the public funding of the second royal wedding of the year revolves around Eugenie's role in her family.
"Eugenie carries out no royal duties," the petition reads. "A royal wedding is a private, personal event, dressed up as a national occasion... Taxpayers should not be funding a private wedding, no matter who is getting married."
To outsiders, royal life may look like a blur of garden parties, balcony appearances and meet-and-greets, but internally there is a vast difference between "working royals" (which Prince Harry and Prince William and their wives all are) and non-working royals.
As Republic wrote in the petition, Eugenie does not carry out duties in the Queen's name, and neither does her sister Beatrice. Both women attend various family events such as Trooping the Colour and Christmas church services, but they have their own careers; Princess Eugenie works at an art gallery in London, while Beatrice works for a US-based company called Afiniti.

The sisters also serve as patrons of a number of charities, but as royal historian Marlene Koenig pointed out, they are doing it on their own, not in service of the monarchy, and neither of the York Princesses has an individual profile on the royal family's website.
In fact, Koenig believes the slimming down of the royal family can, in some ways, be attributed to its scandals of the 1990s, and more specifically, the divorces of both Andrew and Charles, and the unsavory headlines the splits brought about.
"The sins of the parents have rested on the children," Koenig tells Town & Country. "I do believe that if their parents had never gotten divorced and were in a happily married state to this day, Beatrice and Eugenie would be working."
As it is, Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie will live very different lives—as will their respective spouses, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Eugenie's fiancé Jack Brooksbank.
"Prince Harry's life will be filled with official engagements, as demonstrated by his role as a Commonwealth Youth Ambassador and his forthcoming tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga," Carolyn Harris, a royal historian and author of Raising Royalty: 1000 Years of Royal Parenting, explains.
"In contrast, Eugenie will continue to be a guest at royal weddings and other family occasions but will be expected to continue to pursue her own independent career rather than represent the monarch at official engagements."
Like Koenig, Harris too emphasized the streamlining of the royal family, a trend which will likely become even more severe under Prince Charles.
"Queen Elizabeth II involved her first cousins in royal duties. The Duke of Kent, The Duke of Gloucester, and Princess Alexandra have all represented the Queen for official engagements," Harris said.
"In subsequent reigns, however, we will see a more streamlined royal family focused on the monarch and consort [the monarch's spouse] and royal children and grandchildren in the direct line. The nieces, nephews, and cousins of subsequent monarchs will be expected to pursue independent careers instead of undertaking official engagements on behalf of the monarch."
But being a Princess with a day job isn't always easy. Princess Beatrice recently shared that it can be "hard to navigate."
"There is no precedent, there is no protocol," she said in an interview with Vogue earlier this summer. "We are the first: we are young women trying to build careers and have personal lives, and we're also princesses and doing all of this in the public eye."

Q: Set the value of a struct field with reflection when the field is a pointer-to-x I have a struct of pointers to various primitives. The struct is a config for an application and the reason the fields are pointers is so I can determine between a field set to the default and a field that hasn't been set at all - to enforce "required" fields.
Here is a simple example:
type Config struct {
    A *string
    B *int
    C *bool
    D *[]string // wildcard!
}

So I grab the reflect.Value via reflect.ValueOf(*cfg) which gives me a .Field on each element, which I iterate through.
The thing is, each element doesn't pass CanAddr or CanSet, I can't seem to find a way to set the value held behind the pointer. Is this a limitation of the language? Will I need to make my fields non-pointers? That would suck as there would be no way to determine if a user specified an empty string or just didn't set it at all for example.
Oh and bonus points for setting/appending a []string field! That one confused me even without pointers thrown in the mix!

A: Replace these lines:
t := reflect.TypeOf(*cfg)
v := reflect.ValueOf(*cfg)

with
v := reflect.ValueOf(cfg).Elem()
t := v.Type()

to get an addressable value.
The value created by reflect.ValueOf(*cfg) has no reference to addressable memory. The fix is to dereference the pointer in the reflect domain.
Regarding the []string. Because there's a difference between a null slice and an empty slice, there may be no need to use *[]string.  In any case, use the reflect.Append function to append to a slice:
var s []string
v := reflect.ValueOf(&s).Elem()
v.Set(reflect.Append(v, reflect.ValueOf("hello")))
v.Set(reflect.Append(v, reflect.ValueOf("world")))
fmt.Println(s) // prints [hello world]

You and your friends have had enough of this Halloween nonsense. You nabbed your fair share of candy in the past, sure, but you wouldn't be caught dead parading around in a costume now that you're in high school. That doesn't mean this dumb excuse for a holiday has to go to waste, though... No way. It's time to have some real fun.
There are N (2 ≤ N ≤ 107) nice-looking houses on your street, but they won't be looking nice for long. Having borrowed your family car for the night, you'll be taking a joy ride down the street with your friends and some bathroom supplies in tow. Your plan is to take M (1 ≤ M ≤ 2000) passes along the street, and on each pass, you'll choose a random pair of distinct houses (chosen uniformly at random from all possible pairs) to be your targets. Then, those two houses will each receive a little punishment... Bam! Toilet paper to the face!
Once you've TP-ed a house in this fashion, it will be thoroughly covered in the stuff. It may get chosen as a target again on future passes, but applying toilet paper multiple times will have no additional effect on it.
This is sure to be a sweet night, but now you're wondering just how much carnage you and your friends will inflict on your lame neighbourhood. What's the expected number of different houses which will have been TP-ed at least once by the end of Halloween?
In test cases worth 4/35 of the points, N ≤ 5 and M ≤ 5.
In test cases worth another 5/35 of the points, N ≤ 10 and M ≤ 10.
In test cases worth another 18/35 of the points, N ≤ 1000 and M ≤ 1000.
The first and only line of input consists of two space-separated integers N and M.
Output one line consisting of a single real number – the expected number of houses which will be covered in toilet paper after all M passes, with at most 10−5 absolute or relative error.
There are 3 possible pairs of distinct houses – 1&2, 1&3, and 2&3. Therefore, there are 9 equally-likely pairs of pairs of houses which will be TP-ed on the two passes. 3 of these result in only 2 distinct houses being covered in toilet paper (for example, 1&2 being targeted on both passes). The other 6 of them result in all 3 houses being covered. Therefore, the expected number of houses which will be covered in toilet paper is (3×2 + 6×3) / 9 = 8 / 3.

Rush Predicts Newt Comeback
Monday, 20 February 2012 09:17 PM EST
Rush Limbaugh predicted Monday that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich could make what would be his third comeback in the GOP presidential contest.
Telling his listeners that the polls indicated Mitt Romney would likely lose the Michigan primary, the conservative icon said he wouldn't be surprised if Romney's demise gives Gingrich yet another opportunity to be frontrunner. Another great performance by Gingrich in a debate could turn the race around once again, Limbaugh said.
"I think there's a possibility of something happening nobody's talking about -- and that's the reemergence of Newt. Keep a sharp eye. Anything's still possible," Limbaugh said.
"If Romney has trouble in Michigan... Now, Public Policy Polling is a very liberal polling group out of North Carolina. They say that Romney's gaining ground, and he could well be. A slew of negative ads are being run against Santorum, and they work. Negative ads have always been shown to work, and Romney's gaining ground back in Michigan. Of course, the Republican establishment would be turned upside down if he loses in Michigan, because that's his what, second or third home state? And his dad was governor there. ...
Limbaugh pointed out that a number of news accounts have pointed out that GOP candidates, to be successful in Michigan, would have to say they supported the auto bailout of Chrysler and General Motors. One reason Romney is doing so bad in the polls is that he, the son of former auto industry chief and Michigan governor, has consistently said that the Obama administration should have let the automakers go bankrupt.
"If Romney falters in Michigan, the guy to look at as perhaps having a chance to get back in this big time is Newt Gingrich," Limbaugh said. "Do you realize there hasn't been a debate in a month? There has not been a debate, and look at what impact that could be having on the polls, 'cause there haven't been any primaries, either. But look at the impact no debates are having. So if Romney doesn't do as expected, then of course the Republican Party establishment's gonna panic and think, 'Oh, my gosh, we need somebody new now,' because none of the others are suitable to them. Including Newt. Newt's not suitable to them, either. But the debates are gonna kick back in again once we get close to Michigan and then we've got Super Tuesday.
"The debates will kick back up and if Newt has stellar performance. Given the roller-coaster nature of the results of these primaries, anything can still happen."

The PGFTU was founded in 1965 under Jordanian control of the West Bank, as the successor to the Arab Labours Society that had been set up in 1921 in Haifa.
Following Israel's conquest of the West Bank from Jordan, the PGFTU began operating as an independent entity for Palestinian workers, often meeting in secrecy due to the pre-Oslo restrictions on groups linked to the PLO.
The PGFTU has traditionally had a close relationship to the Fatah party, the leading group within the PLO. However in 1993 the trade union wings of several other PLO factions including the Democratic Front, Popular Front and People's Party (formerly the CP) joined the PGFTU. Resolutions passed at the PGFTU's Second Constitutional Conference in May 2004 enabled democratic elections for positions rather than by nomination from the different PLO factions.
The PGFTU consists of 13 national unions, each with regional and local organizations, in sectors such as Hotels/Tourism, Hospital, Textile/Clothing and Construction. It is estimated to have a membership of approximately 270,000, nearly 75% of Palestinian workers. In addition to a 30-member National Executive Committee (17 members from the West Bank, 13 from Gaza) there are also central departments, including Organization, Education, Legal, Women's and Media/International. It has a headquarters in the West Bank city of Nablus with a second major office in Gaza.
The PGFTU has played an important role in promoting women's rights in the Palestinian territories. Its women's department was created in 1995 and in 2004 the PGFTU conference passed a resolution that created a quota of at least 20% female representation in all bodies in the local and national unions and in its executive committees.
The PGFTU is the internationally recognized trade union centre for Palestine and has been a full member of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) since 2001. It maintains regular contact with the Histadrut, with several agreements regarding the remittance of union dues to the PGFTU from Palestinian workers working in Israel and legal representation made during the in Oslo- era. The since the start of the Second Intifada face to face dialogue has severely restricted with the suspension of some of the bi-lateral agreements, however dialogue remains on going. In the difficult economic and political situation in Palestine the PGFTU plays a vital role standing up for the rights of Palestinian workers.


A woman from Georgia has been charged with working for an Islamic State-linked group that posted online "kill lists" on which thousands of Americans were named.
Kim Anh Vo, 20, was arrested last week and charged in New York with providing material support to Isis. Authorities say she joined the United Cyber Caliphate, a hacking group that pledges allegiance to the extremist group.
The group posted thousands of names and addresses online and urged followers to murder the people on the lists in lone-wolf attacks, according to a criminal complaint. Targets included members of the US military and employees of the state department.
Vo, who lives in Hephzibah, Georgia, allegedly edited and translated pro-Isis messages shared online and recruited new members. She also allegedly assisted with hacking projects.
In 2016, the United Cyber Caliphate posted to Twitter the names, addresses and personal information of 3,602 people in the New York City area, prosecutors say.
Another list, posted in April 2017, contained the names and information of more than 8,700 people, thousands of whom live in the US, the complaint says. The data was stolen from the website of a US company, agents charge.
The spreadsheet was posted with a "kill list video" that included footage of a man being decapitated.
Vo went by online aliases including Miss.Bones, Kitty Lee, Zozo, and F@ng, according to the complaint. In one online exchange, she wrote about taking on a new name "just so I can bring on a more mass destruction".
In another message, she allegedly cheered a terror attack in London in 2017 in which the attacker drove a car into a crowd on Westminster Bridge, killing four people, then fatally stabbed a police officer.
"Hey this gives me an idea," she allegedly wrote, saying Isis supporters should "use this recent success attack" as a model to encourage violence in other countries.
If convicted, Vo faces up to 20 years in prison. Her parents told the Augusta Chronicle they were shocked.
"She's a good girl," said her father, Long Vo.

Facing the Bitter Truth
Dr. (Ms.) Sudarshini Fernandopulle, UPFA MP, and widow of slain senior UPFA minister Jeyaraj, has my deep sympathy for her loss, during the war. Her husband was blown up by a LTTE suicide bomber. Nevertheless, my sympathy extends also to all victims of the war, and I worry quite bit about her recent statement, "I must specifically mention I have no faith in the LLRC or its report… They have forgotten the victims of LTTE terrorism". I do disagree with this characterisation of the LLRC report, but the point of my column this week is not to examine the report as such.
Rather it is to reiterate, as I have been doing for some time now, that we should remember and memorialise all the victims of our long war, and in so doing, also remember and understand that deep divisions and questions between communities existed before the war, and may continue after, if not addressed. Again, I've suggested how we might address the question of sharing power between the provinces in two earlier columns - by providing each province with equal representation in an apex body that is responsible for fiscal disbursements.
Today, I would like addressing not only this idea that the victims of the LTTE are somehow greater than that of another, but also, the pervasive idea that indeed, the only problem between communities this country ever had was the 'terrorist' problem. Advocates of this position, have a kind of amnesia, they seem to think that before the existence of the LTTE as armed militant group, all was well in Sri Lanka.
Rethink or relive history
This position needs to be rethought, and urgently, for else, we will soon relive history, which is the fate of those who forget it. In many ways, it is well worth comparing democratic voting patterns in the Northern Province, now, after 30 years of bloody war, with the voting of 1977. Indeed there have been population shifts, deaths, injuries and massive migrations of settled families to other parts of Sri Lanka and overseas, but yet, one does not have to play around with the numbers, make pie chart or a two decimal place table to realise that over half the voters then and now, voted for a party that ran for election, be it parliamentary or local government, on the platform of separation or regional autonomy.
When I was making this argument to an intelligent young person recently, he said, 'oh no, but way back in 1977, we had terrorism in Jaffna, so you really can't count those results, can you?' This historical amnesia or ignorance is now extraordinarily widespread in the South. Many, many people believe it was the 'terrorists' who made good Jaffna Tamils to vote for separation by holding guns to their heads. Really? This is where we are confused. It's a hard truth. A bitter pill for anyone who loves their country like I do, but that love will not let me rewrite history.
People's verdict
Any observer of elections will tell you that the 1977 elections were really the last, undisputedly free and fair election we ever had. Period. And the TULF swept the boards in the North. Yes, not in the East, and I didn't say East. In the Northern Province, their nominees were winners by huge majorities. There was no violence to speak of in the run-up to these elections or during them. The results reflect the people's verdict.
An argument then can be advanced in opposition here: it's a just small percentage of the total votes cast in the whole country. True. But we miss something here. They are and still are, a majority where they live, and it is a province. My opponents in argument here must remember that in Quebec or even Northern Ireland, for example, half the population never voted or expressed the view in polls that separation was for them. Scotland is due for such a referendum. What rest of the Britons or the Canadians thinks here matters, but it doesn't simply trump a regional issue. Regional discontent matters; if the centre can not address it fails to hold. This is the lesson of our history we will do well to remember it.
Many, who oppose this view presented here, will well remember the Eastern wing of the LTTE, or what used to be called the Karuna faction, which later became the TMVP breaking away from the LTTE. Wasn't it the very same thing? There is a reason, dear readers, a historical reason that the eldest son of the sovereign of the United Kingdom is the Prince of Wales and the Sovereigns consort is the Duke of Edinborough. Let's think on that a moment. Why? Origins of these practices are buried in the past, but they are attempts to unite that Kingdom.
Now such superficialities won't work here, we need a much more robust solution that does not simply assume that all our problems were and are produced the bad LTTE and its proxies.
