What is MongoDB?
MongoDB is a NoSQL DataBase whose main features include document-oriented storage, full index support, replication and high availability, auto-sharding, querying, fast in-place updates, Map/Reduce, and GridFS.
MongoDB addresses volume, variety, and velocity of data that organizations increasingly have to deal with in the following ways:
Massive Data Volumes: MongoDB is designed to scale horizontally on commodity hardware, making it easy to add nodes to a cluster as data volumes and velocities increase.
Real-time demands: As well as supporting the fundamental querying that you'd expect from an operational database, MongoDB's native Map/Reduce and aggregation framework support real-time analytics and insights.
Rapid evolution: An organization's needs should change as it responds to the information gained from all the data it has access to. MongoDB's dynamic document schema enables applications to evolve as the needs of the business evolve.
Document-Oriented Storage: MongoDB is a document database, meaning that it stores data in semi-structured, JSON-style documents in collections, rather than storing data in tables that consist of rows and columns, as is done with relational databases such as MySQL. MongoDB collections are similar to tables in relational databases, although collections are a lot less rigid.

Constructing embodied identity in a 'new' ageing population: a qualitative study of the pioneer cohort of childhood liver transplant recipients in the UK
Lowton, Karen, Hiley, Chris and Higgs, Paul (2017) Constructing embodied identity in a 'new' ageing population: a qualitative study of the pioneer cohort of childhood liver transplant recipients in the UK. Social Science & Medicine, 172. pp. 1-9. ISSN 0277-9536

Medical innovations have created a future of survivorship for many groups of people with a variety of conditions that were previously untreatable or untreated. This has led not only to an expansion of medical activity in a whole variety of new areas but also to the emergence of new groups of individuals defined or defining themselves through their experiences, diagnosis and treatment. Through analysis of in-depth interviews with 27 of the now-adult survivors of the pioneer cohort of children receiving liver transplants in Britain in the early 1980s and 1990s, this paper presents how this group not only illustrate the capacities of modern medicine and healthcare to transform the survival prospects of a more diversified population, but also create new narratives of embodied identity. Specifically, we examine how childhood identities were shaped in three settings; home, hospital and school. At home, parents appeared to shape their child's identity through controlling tightly a daily medical regime focused on the concept of 'body as machine', celebrating their survival as a transplant recipient, yet at the same time socialising their child as a 'normal' child, albeit one who had a serious illness. The hospital appeared instrumental in shaping parents' focus on their child's body, and offered a way, through other patients with liver disease, for children to feel 'normal' in their difference. It was in school, through interaction with 'healthy' children and teachers, that corporeality and embodiment appeared most salient, and where social identity was negotiated and more often held in contention. Adult survivors of childhood liver transplant straddle the different discourses of normality and difference as their embodied experiences shape their narratives of identity and shed light on an underexplored aspect of the relationship between medicine and society.

As much as videos have been proven time and time again to be able to engage viewers better than any other type of content – that doesn't simply happen by accident. Certainly, videos have a lot of potentials to be engaging, but if you want the videos that you publish on your blog to engage your audience, they need to tap into that potential.
One of the easiest and yet most effective ways to create more engaging videos is to frame it in a story. To do so, you'll have to create a narrative that is based on the points that you're trying to put across – preferably one that the audience is likely to be able to relate to.
More often than not the videos that are shared the most and get the most comments are the ones that are funny, inspiring, touching, or provoke some other emotional response. That is not a coincidence, as the fact of the matter is that people are instinctively more engaged by videos that cause them to feel something. That is why it is important that you structure your video so that it plays on a particular emotion.
Keep in mind that your target market is bound to be unique in several ways, and it is important that your videos cater to them. As such you should research your audience, find out what it is they respond to, what issues they may be facing, and other relevant information that could help you to create videos that are more interesting for them.
While you could create videos with a webcam, digital camera or even a smartphone – one method of creating videos that you should consider is by using Movavi Screen Recorder to capture footage from your screen. If you would like to create guides or demonstrations involving digital products, it is perfect for the task, and it can also be used to record interviews or panel discussions held via video calls.
Part of what makes Movavi Screen Recorder so useful is the fact that it is easy to use. At the same time, however, it will let you fully adjust the recording parameters including the frame rate, capture area, audio source, and so on.
In fact, there's very little about your recording that you won't be able to customize using Movavi Screen Recorder. Suffice to say it will enable you to record the footage that you need to create engaging videos for your blog.
Good Article I Like It. And Try in Our Work.
Great tips for video marketing. One of the most important things to make people engage is to tap into their emotions. You have to work on making your viewer feel some sort of way. Emotions equal rection.

GOP Uses Mama Grizzlies to Attack Women's Rights
Conservative Assault on Women's Rights
So, you probably heard ala Sarah Palin that this is the Year of the Conservative Woman! Woo Hoo for equal rights! Er, wait a minute…Remember 2008, when women were expected to vote for Sarah Palin just because she was a woman? She was supposed to be our consolation prize for Hillary. Sadly for John McCain, we were not so easily duped. So, let's look under that Year of the Conservative Woman hood to see what it stands for, shall we?
Sure, this field could be super broad, but let's just focus on this week's winners of the Patriarchy Award: Sharron Angle (Senate Candidate R-NV) and David Vitter (R-LA). Sharron Angle announced that she's against abortion even when a girl is raped by her own father, and indeed, the Mama Grizzly Conservative suggests that said rape victims make "lemonade out of lemons". But hold on to your outrage, my friends, because the compassionate conservatives also bring us David Vitter (he of the diaper changing prostitute who kept his seat because it's OK when Republicans do it), who appointed a man who was found GUILTY of stabbing his girlfriend to be in charge of women's issues. This man was the point man for the domestic violence coalition. No, I'm not kidding.
Let's dive right into the bitter tang of Patriarchy on a Friday:
Republicans like to talk a lot about God's Plan. Sharron Angle thinks God has a plan for rape victims. It sure seems like God has a plan for Sharron Angle, and it's looking like it isn't the US Senate. Yes, it appears that Angle is actually Harry Reid's lemon from which he can make lemonade because this woman is ….. nuts.
Sam Stein of the Huffington Post reported on Angle's radio interview on the conservative Alan Stock Show:
STOCK: What do you say then to a young girl, I am going to place it as he said it, when a young girl is raped by her father, let's say, and she is pregnant. How do you explain this to her in terms of wanting her to go through the process of having the baby?
ANGLE: I think that two wrongs don't make a right. And I have been in the situation of counseling young girls, not 13 but 15, who have had very at risk, difficult pregnancies. And my counsel was to look for some alternatives, which they did. And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade. Well one girl in particular moved in with the adoptive parents of her child, and they both were adopted. Both of them grew up, one graduated from high school, the other had parents that loved her and she also graduated from high school. And I'll tell you the little girl who was born from that very poor situation came to me when she was 13 and said 'I know what you did thank you for saving my life.' So it is meaningful to me to err on the side of life.
Yes, it sure is meaningful for YOU, Sharron. But there are other lives involved. Perhaps you small government conservative Tea Partier should stay out of Americans' bedrooms and their uteri? Just an idea.
Lest I get bogged down in Angle's utter hypocrisy, let us continue on our journey to David Vitterland, where good judgment has never been much in evidence and hypocrisy rampant. Just to recap, you might recall the diaper incident, after which his wife did NOT cut off his penis as she swore she would do after Bill Clinton was demonized by the Right for…..well, blue dress, etc.
Vitter, that beacon of women's rights, had a certain Brent Furer in charge of women's issues. Said Brent Furer had pled guilty to attacking his girlfriend with a knife in 2008. I guess this only made him seem MORE suitable to carry out the patriarchal agenda, eh? Sort of a resume builder in the Republican Party. Oh, to be fair, we don't know if he was appointed to be the point man on women's issues because of his crime or in spite of it.
You have to know that Vitter denied this report as true, even as documents proved him a liar, but since the Main Stream Media is loath to point out the facts in their quest to appease the whines of the Right, Brian Beutler of Talking Points Memo got the documents to prove it:
"Brent Furer pled guilty in 2008 to attacking his girlfriend with a knife, but was nonetheless retained in Vitter's DC legislative office in the role of legislative assistant for women's issues until the details of Furer's crime were publicized in late June. He subsequently resigned. In Louisiana today, Vitter categorically denied that Furer worked on women's issues in any way. But numerous records and published accounts prove otherwise."
All of this on the heels of Palin's latest video claiming that conservative pink elephant mama grizzlies are going to rise up this fall out of concern for their kids has me wondering. What kind of world do these pink elephants envision for their daughters? Most American mothers don't seem to want their daughters necessarily relegated to giving birth to a baby fathered by their father, or having an abuser be in charge of legislation regarding domestic violence.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't see these positions as making any sense at all. Maybe the problem is that the People aren't looking at the positions, they're just buying the Image. While these are but two examples in a given week of Republican patriarchy, we don't hear any repudiation of these positions by anyone on the Right.
They can dress it up and call it the year of the Conservative Woman, but it's the same old patriarchy as before.

Love what you have to say. Some of the things that seem obvious to those of us who can still reason seem to be lost on the Right. They have alienated most everybody – Hispanics, Blacks, Jews, now they're stepping up the pressure on women. That's not to say they can't pull a Nazi-like co-opting of women but I don't think it's likely. Women for some reason like to think of themselves as people to, equal to men, and the patriarchal xeno- and homo- phobic religious conservatives on the Right just don't get that. Picking a guy who knifes his girlfriend makes perfect sense when you look at their rhetoric on the topic.
The Party of No is trying to make itself more palatable by putting out women like Palin or Angle, or black men like Steele. The problem is that the difference is only cosmetic, as there is no change in the rigid, far-right ideology that is so repellent.
People like Palin, Bachmann, and Angle are not for women's rights, but for the reactionary policies and ideas that made the women's movement necessary in the first place. So, voting for any of them, as well as for bozos like Vitter, is a vote for regressive policies that set women back by years.

Good article. The GOP is and has been against women's rights all along the way. From top to bottom they fight to deprive women of equal rights and they continue unabated. If they get control of the Legislature, women will suffer as much as the poor and minorities.
What is amazing is that women support the GOP at all. I keep thinking that if GOP women really knew what's in store, they would revolt. It turns out that they know and approve. Women would not even be allowed to vote if Cons could pull it off. Shameful and mortifying.
It's not year of the conservative women they're harolding in……it's the year of the Christian Evangelical woman, and oh yeah, the men will get behind that one because they'll gladly 'use' their women to gain power, and sorry to say some women are clueless to it.
I do not want our government run by religious fanatics on a power trip.
Have you noticed how many of the tea baggers are Christians?
We might as well call them in the name of Christ lets get in government(baggers).
I don't mind people having faith, but when their faith dictates policy in a free country such as abortion rights, I say wait a minute.
And when their ulterior motivation is to get their people into all areas of our government from school board to President it scares the crap out of me.
Shiva (Moderator) says:
I think totally the opposite. From what I've been reading the Evangelical movement has been losing favor somewhat in the Republican Party. I've also read that many of the young people coming into the GOP are pro-choice, thinking that that is a right that you have.
So like everyone I think it's going to be very interesting to find out what support the GOP has for their platform and for whom

Wow! Just when I think they've topped themselves, the 'Pubes pull another WHOPPER!
"The Year of the (Conservative) Woman" – from Sarah "Tool for Hire" Palin.
And Brent "The Knife" Furer on a domestic violence coalition? WTF?
I challenge any liberal to make this shit up. It can't be done! Why? Because the first prerequisite to being a 'Pube is that you LEAVE YOUR MIND AT THE DOOR!

SARAH PALIN & THE REPUBS for WOMEN'S RIGHTS???? Just for starters? They voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act! She is the biggest two faced lying idiot in the world! SARAH PALIN HERSELF –AS GOVERNOR OF ALASKA–NOW 1/2ASSLOSER–MADE WOMEN PAY FOR THEIR RAPE KITS!!!!! It just doesn't get any better than that does it sarah? Does she honestly think we don't read like her??? Is that their idea of a conservative woman representing women's right??? The audacity of this woman! Does she ever stop? She is so insulting to WOMEN'S INTEGRITY. She honestly thinks we're all going to NOW jump on the band wagon to represent women sarah's way? She cracks me up.. she actually believes she's saying something so powerful and profound! And any one that does..well..you did see the video? only older senior caucasion ladies (as if)..barely any youngins (plaeaaase)..hardly any her age….(uh…) no people of color (not surprised) and no asians (we're uncomfortable around them). Yup..you got my vote sarah. We're coming!! us GRIZZLY BEARS who protect our cubs and don't shit in the woods..oh no….and PINK ELEPHANTS TOO who do shit in the woods! we are a comin..Nov 2! Can I just say? That has got to be theeee most hokiest bullcrap I have ever heard in my life! LOL! What a WHACKED OUT LOSER that woman is! This is what I call desperate both for palin and the repubs. We are truly reaching at straws here. WHY DO WOMEN SUPPORT THE GOP? WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST? WHAT HAVE YOU GAINED BY THEIR REPRESENTATION? WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH LOW SELF ESTEEM AND SELFWORTH FOR YOURSELVES? ….crickets…
palin and her ilk are the ones always accusing PresObama of trying to shove stuff down our throats..shut up and sit down (her favorite accusation) claims he's trying to take away our religion ..when? where? and why would he? Such blatant liars! They are the very ones doing it. Then turn and accuse Obama. They want to dictate to us how to live and what to read and not read. Change history books to accomodate their beliefs! But they call Obama the…well, I forget now. They've called him every izm/ism name out there. And just love the way they do that. They're so..well, TRANSPARENT LIARS!
Disliking someone because of race or gender is one thing. But people who dislike Palin, Angle, and Steele dislike them because of their politics. As for your idiotic remark about me being
a misogynist and a racist, I am a black woman, FYI. I don't relate to any of these people because the women I have named would set women's rights back given the opportunity. Steele himself does not represent the views of most blacks of either sex. Most of us blacks look at him as a bad joke and a non-stop gaffe machine just like Palin, Bachmann, and Angle.
Both Steele and Palin were chosen as GOP counters to President Obama and Secretary Clinton, respectively. It's not my fault that neither one holds a candle to Obama or Clinton. It was GOP stupidity that assumed women disappointed by Clinton's defeat in the nomination process would vote for Palin in droves just because she is a woman. By the same token, Steele was picked to help draw more blacks to the GOP. Neither one happened, because the women and the blacks who rejected both could see that they presented the far right ideology that is unappealing to so many.
This was in addition to their well-deserved reputations as gaffe machines.
EnglishSaddle says:
Way to totally miss the point and avoid responsibility. LOL. You conservatives. Is this all you have? Clenis?
1) Clinton didn't run on moral authority/moral majority/family values
2) It says a lot that you think being raped and forced to give birth to your father's baby is the same thing as what Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton did. You also equate stabbing one's girlfriend and then being in charge of domestic violence with Clenis.
3)Bill Clinton's policy's HELPED women, they did not harm women. What is so hard to understand about that?
4) Liberals don't care what people do in their personal lives and since they don't run on being God's chosen family values who can and should tell everyone else what to do, this is not a conflict. Let me say it super slowly: this is why it's hypocritical when the family values christians stab their girl friends or cheat on their wives. That's your whole platform up in smoke!
5) "small government" conservatives should stay out of my uterus.

good post, except for the fact there is no such thing as a small government conservative. Conservatives talk small government but they are the ones who also want to censor what you read and what you watch, what you do in your bedroom etc. That is going to take a pretty good-sized government to patrol all that. Most of our small government conservatives want to spend the vast majority of our budget on defense. That's not small government unless you take away every single thing the citizens have. Once they've done that you've lost all your rights you've lost your constitution.
The teabag party and Sarah Palen are the path back to the fifth century.

Another well written piece from a brain..unlike the rants one would find on say….American Thinker….WND….
Surprised this hasn't been attacked by a slew of ant-feminists who claim God is a Conservative.
The hubris exhibited by the anti-women running in place and claiming to be for "Christian Women" are putting women's rights back centuries…Chattle to the patriachy and thinking they have "power" as long as they bat their well painted lashes and wink at the drooling testosterone deprived old balding white lechers, they can't quite understand that this form of promotion is very ANTI-woman. It is the encouragement of cat calls that keeps oppression front and center and they don't even see they are oppressed.
It has often been said that Sarah did not make a decision without the "first dude" and that he was present in every meeting assuring his agenda while she played house in the Gov's mansion, lying in her tanning bed to assure the optimum glow…THAT is exactly what these bimbettes of the faux CONservative expulsion are about. They have to have a brain behind them and it is not their brain, they have chosen a misogynist to put ideas in their heads..
That is as anti-woman as it comes. They bought the "woman isn't as smart enough so use sex to sell yourself" and use it to keep them in favor with the old ED crowd. Viagra dosing for the GOP
Tukas says:
Not all conservatives are as loopy as Vitter and Angle. Turns out those types of conservatives are the ones who woo people to vote for them.
I consider myself conservative, and have met many many people who feel the same way as I.
1. Pro Choice -it is a personal life choice and no one else needs to open their pie hole about it.
2. Religious 'values'-again this is a personal choice thing and not a public soapbox.
3. Small government- people should be responsible for themselves and not be reliant to any government to tell them/give them/allow them to do anything. Without all the laws to worry about there is no need for so many government positions. With the speed of communications today government should be streamlined by now. But it is bigger than ever.
Emergencies aside, no one should be whining for more government handouts. There are charities that are around just for those who need -whatever. If a person does not like something, follow the laws to change it or move to a different area! It is a big, and so far, free country.

I remember one very disappointing Christmas as a child. I had very
much wanted a slot-car racing set, and instead under the tree there
was this wind-up contraption with magnets and toy cars. Wind it up,
get the same result every time. But I was told it was "Just The
Same Thing." Well, in some ways, I suppose. Steele is Black, and
looks kinda goofy at times. So does Obama. Palin is blonde and
looks good in red. So does Clinton. Almost every completely
identical in every sense except, you know, the ones that actually
matter.
"It has often been said that Sarah did not make a decision without
the "first dude" and that he was present in every meeting assuring
his agenda while she played house in the Gov's mansion," You know,
that's ordinarily a good thing. I can't think of the number of
times I've run something by my wife, she's gotten That Very
Compassionate Look, and I realize I've been about to do or say
something stupid. But clearly that just isn't part of their family
dynamic. ;}

Is online sports betting legal? That must be one of the most prominent queries going within a person thinking about investing in sports betting. However, no one can clearly provide an adequate solution to this question. This will depend upon the thinking of the person concerned. An individual must be the one to decide if the profession that provides one profits by bringing losses to others is legal or illegal.
So, lots of people in the US won't try getting detained and thus will consider the game illegal and thus stay away from it. But, there are several countries in the world where the profession is regarded as legal and therefore is practiced on a large scale. An investment and profits in the profession in these countries is far more compared to countries where it is considered illegal.
However, modern day public hardly follows the laws. The same goes in the case of horse betting. Although it is considered illegal in most of your states, the government has been unsuccessful in completely eradicating the profession. But, they have certainly reduced the numbers participating in the profession to a large degree. sports betting 21.
The introduction and popularity of internet has become a primary reason for these rule-breaking instances. Now, people in those parts of the world where the profession is regarded as illegal can bet on sports happening in other nations via internet. They need not even go to the sites in their own country which reduces their likelihood of being arrested in the event the profession is illegal in their country.
But even countries where betting is considered legal, there are some limitations. The foremost is the status of the betting site or company to which you are associated. One has to ensure that the betting site to which one has subscribed should be legal .
There are many fake betting sites around the world that attempt to seize the bettors? money by promising them huge profits and after that try to escape with all the money thus deceiving the bettors. Except these, there are some sites that are considered illegal by some governments due to their background and activities. Subscribing or just being associated to these sites can hand the individual a ticket to jail.
A method to check the betting sites is to always visit forums and study user feedbacks. They assist to large degree when deciding on a betting site. Yet another way would be to initially invest a modest amount of money to determine the site and when one sees that the site is trustworthy and then gradually increase the investments.
"Is online sports betting legal?" will always remain a big and difficult question in the public?s mind. The reply to this is determined by the country, person?s perception of right and wrong and the site to which one is associated.

Stellar intruder's daring fly-by of the solar system
Read more: Click here to read the original, longer version of this story.
A SPEEDING star whizzed through the outer solar system about 70,000 years ago. The visitor, a dim red dwarf, came within a light year of the sun, making it the closest known approach by a star.
Eric Mamajek of the University of Rochester in New York and his colleagues say it appears to be moving very slowly sideways across the sky, but is in fact moving away from Earth at an astounding 80 kilometres a second and is now 20 light years away. That pattern of motion suggests it recently came close to the sun.
The team performed 10,000 simulations to determine what path the star was likely to have taken. In 98 per cent of them, it passed through the solar system's outer fringes – a comet-filled region called the Oort cloud – about 70,000 years ago (Astrophysical Journal Letters, doi.org/2cg).
It was a close call: the star probably came within 0.8 light years of the sun but was too small and fast to have an effect on any planets. "It was like a tiny hummingbird flying through," says Mamajek. But it may have been bright enough for our ancestors to see.

Well, a number of you have mentioned that you'd like to see a shorter version of the new T4G video.
Here it is, Short T4G Video courtesy of the good folks at Ligonier Ministries. It may take a little time to download.
It is very quick-paced in comparison to the longer video housed at this site. But I'll try to get this to the technical geniuses that service the T4G site so that they can upload it in a larger, better format. This video also has some cutaways that will give you a visual feel for the T4G '06 gathering.
And don't miss the out-take after the final fade. Can you hear what Al says, and how Mark responds?

40. Why: First year of national recognition
41. Key Person(s): Carter G. Woodson, the "father of black history" (d. 1950), historian, author, and journalist.
42. Short Story:
43. Started as Negro History Week (1926)
44. Woodson (@ age 51) announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week" because it covered the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Woodson said teaching black history was essential to ensure physical and
45. intellectual survival. - "If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. The American Indian left no continuous record. He did not appreciate the value of
46. tradition; and where is he today? The Hebrew keenly appreciated the value of tradition, as is attested by the Bible itself. Despite worldwide persecution, therefore, he is a great factor in our civilization."
47. The push for Black History Month (1970 -76)
48. BHM was first proposed at Kent State University in February 1969. The first celebration happened in 1970. Six years later, President Gerald Ford recognized BHM during the Bicentennial celebration. - "[Americans should] seize the opportunity to honor the
49. too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history".
51. Question 1: Is BH "M" too small/short of an emphasis or just, about right?
52. Question 2: Did you do anything for BHM growing up &/or while raising your kids?

90. Why is she being featured: "Sweet Thing", she is breaking out, and I don't want to cover disco yet.
92. Born and raised in Chicago housing projects, the oldest of five. Started singing early, formed a girl group at age eleven. Changed her name to Chaka Adunne Aduffe Hodarhi Karifi at thirteen and started running around with the Fred Hampton and the Panthers. In 1969, at age16, she dropped out of high school, left the Panthers, and focused on singing with local bands. In 1973, she joined the band Rufus. The first album in 1973 was a dud, but Stevie Wonder was so impressed by Chaka Khan's vocals, he wanted to write a song specifically for her. "Tell Me Something Good", written by Stevie, on their 1974 album won a Grammy. (He also played harmonica on 'I Feel For You'.). But, because of her increasing popularity the record label started calling the group Rufus "Featuring" Chaka Khan, (which was the title of their fourth album that had the hit single "Sweet Thing") and this caused tension in the band. She was back and forth with the group for a few years. Went solo in 1978 and became a legend. (10 Grammys, 8 of them solo)

115. Critic Review: Unlike its contemporary Good Times, What's Happening!! isn't committed to presenting enlightening social commentary or providing empowering African-American role models. Most of the problems the gang faces here are typical of what kids from any community have to deal with. While the show has its funny moments (especially when Dee offers her strong, often sarcastic opinions), much of the show's humor stems from a slapstick-like comedy style that's reminiscent of the minstrel show stereotypes of the 1930s - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/whats-happening

Q: How to efficiently draw the isolines of a 2D Normal Distribution at specific values of the density function? I have a two dimensional normal distribution represented by its mean and covariance matrix. Now i want to draw a line around every point where the density function

exceeds a certain threshold value. (The normalization term is ommited so the threshold can be applied to all distribution regardless of their size.)
Of course, this can be done by iterating over the entire image and checking the formula for every pixel (see drawVariant2()). However, this is incredibly slow and I want the drawing mechanism to be more or less real-time capable.
Another method I have found computes the eigenvalues and -vectors of the covariance matrix and uses them to transform an image of a circle (see drawVariant1()). The problem with this is that I don't have a representation of what the distance of the drawn line from the mean means in terms of the density function.
Is there any way I can draw the isoline of my distribution at certain values of the density function?
This is the code of the two drawing methods I have up to now. It uses the Eigen Library for the matrix and vector operations.
#include "Eigen/Core"
#include "Eigen/Eigenvalues"

unsigned int width = 500, height = 500;
Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 1> mean;
Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 2> cov;

const double C_PI = 3.14159265358979323846;

void drawVariant1(unsigned char * img)
{
    const int isolineRadius = 3;
    const double baseCircleSteps = 100;
    const double circleLength = 2 * C_PI * isolineRadius * baseCircleSteps;

    Eigen::EigenSolver<Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 2>> eigenSolver(cov);

    eigenSolver.compute(cov);

    const double eVal1 = eigenSolver.eigenvalues().real()(0);
    const double eVal2 = eigenSolver.eigenvalues().real()(1);

    const Vector2 eVec1 = eigenSolver.eigenvectors().real().col(0);
    const Vector2 eVec2 = eigenSolver.eigenvectors().real().col(1);

    for (double phi = 0; phi < 2 * C_PI; phi += 2 * C_PI / circleLength)
    {
        const double x = isolineRadius * std::cos(phi);
        const double y = isolineRadius * std::sin(phi);

        const Vector2 posProjected = x * std::sqrt(eVal1)  * eVec1  + y * std::sqrt(eVal2) * eVec2 + mean;

        const int xP = (int)posProjected(0);
        const int yP = (int)posProjected(1);

        if (xP >= 0 && xP < width && yP >= 0 && yP < height)
        {
            img[yP * width + xP] = 255;
        }
    }
}

void drawVariant2(unsigned char * img)
{
    const double threshold = 0.5;
    for(int x = 0; x < width; ++x)
    {
        for(int y = 0; y < height; ++y)
        {
            const Eigen::Matrix<double, 2, 1> point((double)x, (double)y);
            const double likelihood = std::exp( -0.5 * (point - mean).transpose() * cov.inverse() * (point - mean) );

            if(likelihood >= threshold)
                img[y * width + x] = 128;
        }
    }
}

void main()
{
    mean << 100, 100;
    cov << 50, 0, 0, 20;

    unsigned char * img = new unsigned char[width * height];
    memset(img, 0, width*height);

    drawVariant1(img);
    drawVariant2(img);

    writePGM("test.pgm", img, width, height);

    delete [] img;
};

I am sorry that the code is rather long, but I hope providing a complete example might help answering this question.

A: Well, after investing this day I think I finally found a suitable solution.
The idea is to compute the point on the x-axis which has the desired likelihood w.r.t. to the standard normal distribution. This can be done with a bisection-algorithm. Afterwards I can use the distance of this point as the radius of the circle which is transformed by the means of the mean and covariance matrix.
The entire source code is here. I hope this helps if someone might ever encounter a similar problem. If anyone finds some errors I would be happy to correct them.

Post subject: Juicy Chicken Radio Comedy Show?
I am hoping someone might recognize the subject line and chime in. My father-in-law has been talking off and on about an old comedy routine he heard on the radio "back in the day" (50-70's maybe?) that he'd love to hear again. The clincher is all he can remember about it is some remark about a "Juicy Chicken" but he seems to recall it being pronounced "Yuicy". Does that ring a bell with anyone? Long shot, I know.

Q: How to pass two or more arguments to a Button command? I'd like to pass 2 variable arguments in a function to be assigned to a Button command. These variables change within a for loop that also creates the buttons.
Mostly inspired by some of the top answers here and here, here are my fail attempts at trying to solve this problem based on what I read:
I tried using partial:
self.dct[(i, j)] = Button(command=partial(self.on_click, i, j))

Another try:
self.dct[(i, j)] = Button(command=partial(partial(self.on_click, i), j))

And another:
self.dct[(i, j)] = Button(command=partial(self.on_click, [i, j]))

.. Guess what?
tup = [i, j]
self.dct[(i, j)] = Button(command=partial(self.on_click, tup))

And then, lambda:
self.dct[(i, j)] = Button(command=lambda i=i, j=j: self.on_click(i, j))

Here's my code:
import tkinter as tk

from functools import partial

class Board(tk.Frame):
    board = None
    images = None
    tile = None

    def __init__(self, parent):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        self.tile = {}
        for i in range(10):
            for j in range(10):
                self.tile[(i, j)]['btn_obj'] = tk.Button(self.board, command=partial(partial(self.on_click, i), j))

    def on_click(self, i, j):
        print("X: {}, Y:{}".format(j, i))

partial always causes an error like this:
TypeError: on_click() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

It's always mismatched number of arguments.
Meanwhile, lambda gets the wrong value of the variables, causing something of an error in tkinter's part.

A: The lambda in your question should work:
tk.Button(self.board, command=lambda i=i, j=j: self.on_click(i,j))

This binds the value i and j as the default values for the lambda parameters.
Personally I prefer lambda over partial, mainly because I don't have to import the functools module. If you wish to use partial, it should look like your first example:
tk.Button(self, command=partial(self.on_click, i, j))

In both cases, on_click will be passed the correct value for i and j based on their values when the button is created.
Here is an example based on your code, but with some unnecessary code removed for clarity:
import tkinter as tk
from functools import partial

class Board(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, method):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent, bd=2, relief="sunken")
        for i in range(10):
            for j in range(10):
                if method == "lambda":
                    button = tk.Button(self, command=lambda i=i, j=j: self.on_click(i,j))
                else:
                    button = tk.Button(self, command=partial(self.on_click, i, j))
                button.grid(row=i, column=j)

    def on_click(self, i, j):
        print("X: {}, Y:{}".format(j, i))

root = tk.Tk()
board1 = Board(root, method="lambda")
board2 = Board(root, method="partial")
board1.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
board2.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
root.mainloop()

Light from Dark
The LoomBy Carl ZimmerJune 22, 2005 8:11 AM
Back in 1986 a biologist named Cindy Lee Van Doverwas poking around the innards of shrimp from the bottom of the sea. They came from a hydrothermal vent in the Atlantic, where boiling, mineral-rich water came spewing up from cracks in the Earth's crust and supported rich ecosystems of tube-worms, microbes, crabs, and other creatures. The animals that lived around these vents were generally blind, which wasn't surprising considering that no sunlight could reach them. But Van Dover noticed that they had two flaps of tissue running along their backs that connected to nerves. Closer inspection revealed that the tissue was actually made of light-sensitive pigments and photoreceptors. What, Van Dover wondered, could these shrimp possibly be looking at. Dives to mid-ocean ridges later revealed that the vents produce a faint light of their own. In 1996 I wrote a story for Discover about Van Dover's obsession with deep-ocean light. At the time she was fascinated by the possibility that vents might make enough light to support photosynthesis. The sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface is a million times brighter than vent light, but scientists have found microbes 240 feet down in the Black Sea that can survive on an equally scanty supply of photons. But at the time it was just speculation. It is very cool to see that nine years later Van Dover hasn't lost the obsession. In a paper just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, she and her colleagues report their discovery of photosynthetic bacteria living around deep-sea vents. On a cruise to the East Pacific Rise, the scientists bottled vent water and then took it to a lab to culture the microbes they had trapped. One species was able to grow only in the presence of light, which it absorbed with photosynthetic pigments. The researchers doubt that the microbes drifted into the bottles from somewhere else because they seem well-adapted to the vents. They feed on sulfur compounds that are spewed up through the vents. The water around the vents is poor in oxygen thanks to chemical reactions there, and the bacteria thrive in the absense of oxygen. The nearest place where the bacteria might enjoy these features is thousands of miles away from the vents. Over at Cosmic Log, Alan Boyle discusses what this discovery means for the search for life elsewhere in the universe. Short answer: photosynthetic organisms might be dwelling in the dark on other planets. I found myself thinking about another implication of the discovery, which I discussed in my 1996 article. Photosynthetic life may have existed on Earth 3.7 billion years ago, and scientists would like to know how the necessary chemistry for harnessing sunlight first evolved. Van Dover and her colleagues suggested that it might have gotten its start around hydrothermal vents. It could have evolved from a means for simply detecting light. Like shrimp, microbes don't want to get too close to the water coming directly out of a vent because they'll get fried. Over time, these bacteria might have evolved the ability to harness the energy of the light as well. Later, some of these deep-sea photosynthesizers might have been carried to shallower vents, where they might also be able to catch light from the sun. From these migrants came the sunlight-harnessing molecules that allow bacteria to consume trillions of tons of carbon. Some algae acquired this machinery as well, probably by eating photosynthetic bacteria, and they in turn gave rise to land plants. In other words, our forests and lawns got their start at the bottom of the sea. These newly discovered bacteria don't clinch this argument by any means. They are not living fossils unchanged for four billion years. But they at least show that a key part of this evolutionary scenario is plausible: that photosynthetic organisms can survive around deep-sea vents. That's certainly an idea that nobody thought of before Van Dover began poking around in dead shrimp.

When Obama says he will veto the stimulus package and opts for 'best available options,' Republicans say he is kidding
Home When Obama says he will veto the stimulus package and opts for 'best available options,' Republicans say he is kidding
The White House is still reeling from a surprise veto by President Barack Obama of a package of $1.1 trillion in tax and spending increases that was expected to boost the economy.
The $1 trillion stimulus package is scheduled to be signed into law by the president at the White House on Tuesday night.
It is expected to create 2.5 million jobs and spur growth of 2.9% to 3.2%.
Republicans are already calling on Obama to veto the package because of the tax hikes and other changes they say will hurt the economy and make the U.S. more vulnerable to foreign attacks.GOP lawmakers on Wednesday called for the White White House to hold a press conference to discuss the proposed tax hikes, saying it is too soon to consider any of the changes.
The president has the power to veto any such legislation that would reduce his authority to enforce federal laws, including the budget caps that are in place for the foreseeable future.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement that the White's response is the height of hypocrisy.
"Mr. President, you promised to veto a $1-trillion tax increase on millions of Americans but now you are suggesting you will veto a trillion-dollar tax increase for the richest Americans," he said.
"Mr. Obama, you were in the Oval Office.
Why did you vote to give millionaires a $200,000 tax cut when you voted to give millions of middle-class families a $600,000 refund?"
The Republican-controlled Senate is expected later this week to vote on the $1trillion stimulus package.
The White House has yet to respond to a request for comment on the planned press conference.
But White House spokesman Eric Schultz has previously said that the stimulus was the best available options to boost growth and create jobs.
"The President believes that the best economic plan would be for the President to veto this package, but he will continue to pursue the best possible economic options," Schultz said in an email.
"It is premature to comment on this legislation at this time," he added.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R.-Ala., the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, said the tax increases are a "serious, serious threat" to the economy, but that he supports the stimulus.
"We've got to have the best path to get growth back to the president's priorities," he told ABC News.
"That is not a new issue.
We've talked about this a number of times," Sessions said.
Sessions said that while he doesn't support the stimulus, he supports tax relief for middle-income and small businesses and increased tax relief to help businesses hire.
The Senate is set to vote Wednesday on the stimulus as part of its long-anticipated spending bill, which will likely increase spending by $1,500 for the first time in more than a decade.
The legislation is expected take the Senate and House into the recess next week for a full-week session before lawmakers return to Washington on April 8.

I earned two degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I was a member of and pastored Southern Baptist churches for decades.
Today, as I read this thread on Twitter and think about the situation facing the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), my heart breaks. I feel deep sorrow for a denomination that has much to celebrate and emulate.
The SBC is a wonderful denomination with deep, historical roots in evangelizing the world and preaching the Word. While the SBC and SWBTS are not perfect, their overall strengths outshine their weaknesses.
There are many, many fine men and women serving in the SBC–both in seminaries, churches, and various agencies–some of whom I call friends and highly respect. Today, though, my heart is sunken.
I've watched as a chasm slowly grew within the SBC. Maybe I've contributed to it and, if so, I sincerely apologize. That chasm, however, is not irreparable. By God's grace it can be repaired!
Southern Baptists have debated many issues over the denomination's lifetime ranging from practical issues (i.e., how to do things) to theology to moral issues. Over the past few years, though, it appears that regardless of the specific topic being debated, individuals on both sides have allowed pride to rule rather than love.
Evidence for this pride is that when someone disagrees, they are demonized, called the "enemy," and the persecution card is played. Critiques, even honest and helpful ones, are considered personal attacks while the critic, regardless of his or her beliefs, is sometimes called anti-SBC or even anti-Christian.
In many cases, animosity has replaced love. Fellow believers refuse to associate with each other because one considers the other anti-gospel or anti-evangelism. Positions are misrepresented, people are mischaracterized, and ministries and reputations are damaged.
15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
What this passage teaches, ultimately, is that we should act out of love and grace, never out of vengeance or retribution; we must seek Christ and live out his ways in all we do. Yet, I've watched (and experienced) as people mistreat one another and lash out at those who dare to have a different opinion. The reasoning: protecting the institution.
Sadly, though, pride often blinds us to the truth, keeping us from seeing that which drives us. Sin blinds us to our own sin.
Will Southern Baptists agree on everything? Never. Nor should they. Honest disagreement is healthy and should be embraced. Honest critique should be encouraged, never silenced. Although the SBC should seek unity, there are some (even many) who seem to prefer conformity.
Only through honest critique can people and the SBC grow. However, over the past few years, and moreso now, it seems that pride has led some to place individuals and institutions above criticism. Individuals and institutions are promoted and protected–sometimes in Jesus' name, unity, or some other justification–from those who might have a different perspective, opinion, or interpretation. Whether it's a theological, practical, or moral issue, disagreement and honest debate devolved into prideful diatribes and demonization.
Idolatry has taken root in the heart of some: they have placed the institution or men upon a pedestal reserved for the gospel and God. Self-worship has taken hold, and all in Jesus' name.
This can be fixed, though. But it will take courage.
I pray for those who face backlash or punishment for daring to speak out. I pray for those who lash out and harm those who dare criticize the hallowed SBC or its exalted leaders, even if the criticism is necessary.
Jesus said his people would be known by their love for each other. I pray the SBC returns to the gospel and once again exemplifies God's love.
God loved his enemies (Rom 5:10). Do we?

Are We Living in a World Disney Depicted in The Little Mermaid?
So, can the institution be repaired? I think not. I pray that God opens our eyes to see and receive His truth.

Victims break chains of slavery
By Brian Byrnes, CNN
Buenos Aires - Maria Velasquez was in need of work. She had no prospects in her hometown of La Paz, Bolivia, so when she was offered a bus ticket to Argentina and assured of steady work and a home there, she jumped at the chance.
It was a trip that would take her to the depths of the garment industry's slave labor trade only to emerge as a member of a cooperative credited with raising awareness about slave labor on two continents.
"I was promised a sewing job in Argentina that would pay a dignified salary of $200 a month. But just like so many other victims, I was lied to," says Velasquez, 31.
She quickly became a victim trapped inside a vast network of workers who are lured from Bolivia to Argentina on empty promises. FULL POST

An iReporter's short film on slavery
CNN's Kristie Lu Stout highlights iReporter Renee Hong's short film on human trafficking.
How did the video come about? Hong, a graphic designer, says she was part of a program called YWAM which stands for Youth With a Mission. Her six-month training in Germany focused on art and social injustice. "And so one of the graphic design assignments was to create a stop-motion video that somehow got awareness to the topic of human trafficking," she said.
As she says in her iReport submission, "It is a video that brings awareness to human trafficking in all of its forms: labor, prostitution and child soldiers."

There are a few things about Alimento, a new Italian spot in Silver Lake from Sotto's Zach Pollack, that have the potential to turn off the most amiable of diners. There is the size (tiny) and the corresponding waiting time (lenthy, even with a reservation). There is the extra charge for water (yes, water. More on that below). There is the noise level, which skews closer to a raucous cacophony than a tolerable din, and prompted myself and some friends on a recent visit to clarify before we ordered that the food had better be worth it if we were going to sit through this level of noise.
It is. It is worth it from beginning to end, thanks to Pollack's creative blend of techniques and influences that leave you expecting one thing and tasting something entirely different. The pig in a blanket is not just an elevated version of the classic elementary school snack food but a completely different concept altogether. Puffy spelt pastry bookends a thick slab of mortadella, fatty and rich and piled high with stringy brovada (pickled turnips). A considerable slice of crescenza cheese is draped over the pork, so yeah, you could call this a ham and cheese sandwich, except if that was the case my childhood would have been filled with better school lunches. A cracked emmer salad was equally delightful, with paper thin radishes and gobs of pecorino scattered around a bowl of fluffy farro.
Following any small plates you may share are the selection of pastas (good for one person, maybe two if you're trying a couple) or platters (which seem to be capable of feeding an army). The bagna caoda DOP, a traditional Italian dipping sauce, features a simmering pot filled with broth made from anchovy paste, garlic, oil and butter, and is surrounded by raw vegetables, grilled bread and a single egg. It looks like something that might belong at a King Arthur banquet, and was the only dish that proved to be more trouble than it was worth. "You crack the egg in the broth when the liquid gets close enough to the flame," explained our waiter—but doesn't that mean we'd be adding a new element to a mostly eaten sauce? It was too bizarre, too cumbersome (the paste kept sliding off the veggies) to thoroughly enjoy. Better to stick to the pastas, which is where Pollack's creative flair really kicks in. A squid ink radiatori is filled with plump mussels and squid, but also pods of peas and a sprinkling of breadcrumbs that mimick the gritty sand you might find in a mussel shell (though far more enjoyable). A rye tagliatelle, albeit on the salty side, uses thyme and hints of lavender to bring out the accompanying veal ragu's earthy tones. And then there's the tortellini.
If there is one dish to come here for, it is the tortellini in brodo, a fascinating hybrid of the classic pasta and Chinese soup dumplings. There the tortellini sits, looking like a regular ol' bowl of pasta in a cream sauce, until you bite into it and the salty, clear broth of the soup explodes in your mouth—an outstanding mix of textures. We were in heaven, and pulled our waiter aside to grill him on how chef Pollack makes this dish. "I don't know, I'm not the chef," he said, understandably. Maybe it doesn't need too much explaining, this inside-out dish, but we couldn't stop thinking about it until the rice pudding came along, a cute little jar of rice in condensed milk with some sour cherries and a sprinkling of nuts mixed in. "This is the way rice pudding should taste," I said, going after the creamy dessert by the spoonful. Then again, that could be said about most of the dishes at Alimento.
What to Eat: The pig in a blanket ($11). The cracked emmer salad ($12). The tortellini in brodo ($14). The squid ink radiatori ($16). The rice pudding ($6).
What to Drink: The wine list at Alimento is concise but well-crafted, featuring mostly Italian varietals from lesser-known vineyards. Glasses range from $8 to $18 (that would be for a Scarbolo 2011 Pinot Grigio Ramato), and cover whites, reds and sparklings.
Where to Sit: Alimento is small, seating about 40 people (despite our reservation, we still had to wait close to 30 minutes). There's a small chef's counter, but sitting there won't cut down on how outrageously loud the restaurant gets. So accept whichever table your hostess gives you and settle in for a dinner that requires a little shouting.
Conversation Piece: Yeah, so about that water charge. For $1.50 per person, diners get unlimited (aw shucks, you shouldn't have) filtered or sparkling water, with 50 percent of each sale donated to the Silver Lake Reservoir Conservancy. When asked why we couldn't order tap water, our waiter replied, "We don't cook with unfiltered water, so why would we give it to you to drink?" Some of you will accept this answer, others will not. Either way, you'll still have to pay for the water. I'd suggest getting on board.
A little pricy, but amazing food. You must try the Ribeye steak!
You could order anything (or everything) on this menu and it would all be great. But the dish that stands out the most—the one everyone has probably already heard all about, with good reason—is the tortellini en brodo. If you go to Alimento and don't order it, you're crazy. That being said, if it's just not your thing, the cracked farro salad, braised lettuce bruschetta and radiatori are also great bets.


I'm planning to move to Czech Republic, Sweden, or Poland after I graduate, possibly to open a restaurant. Do people in Czech Republic have an appreciation or enthusiasm for "foreign" food, be it American, Mexican, Thai, Egyptian, etc. etc.?
I know there are a lot of foreign restaurants in Prague, but are they mostly serving tourists or do you support them too?
What about Brno? Everyone talks about Prague, but a good friend told me that she loved visiting Brno. Do you have many foreign restaurants in Brno?
Since no one else has put in their 2cents worth, I'll put in my own 15-year-outdated experience.
Generally speaking, and as far as I could tell as a foreigner, Czechs don't seem to cook much "foreign" food in the home. Having said that, of course, it's entirely possible that the times I was in Czech homes, that they were trying to show me, a foreigner, what Czech food was like, and so never cooked anything foreign for me.
Also, I don't remember seeing many foreign restaurants anywhere outside Prague center, with the exception of one Chinese place (very good!) on the outskirts of Bratislava in Slovakia. I don't know Brno well, so I can't really speak for it.
Mexican food in the Czech Republic back then was almost non-existent--I only knew of a couple of Mexican (rather Tex-Mex) places in Prague, and they were largely, as you say, catering to tourists and expats. I used to make Tex-Mex dishes (chili, tacos, burritos, etc.) for Czechs, but while most said they liked it, they also thought it too spicy (and it was seriously toned down for the natives). The only person I found who enjoyed the real spicy Tex-Mex was an 18-old gypsy fellow in Slovakia, who wanted to get the recipe so his mom could make it for him! (By the way, I'm from Austin, too, so I know what real Tex-Mex is about).
The only "American" restaurants I remember seeing were McDonald's (sad, but true). I can't speak for other foreign food restaurants and such, because I never really sought those out while I was there.
Like I said, probably only 2 cents worth. Hopefully, someone with a fresher perspective will update us on more contemporary trends.

For example Indian restaurant Goa ( http://www.restaurant-goa.cz/ ), Mexican restaurant Hacienda Mexicana ( http://www.mexicana.cz ), Cuban restaurant Havana ( http://www.havana-restaurant.cz/ ), Japanese Koishi Sushi ( http://www.koishi.cz/ ). There is also a lot of Chinese and Asian restaurants.

Iran to develop new long-range air-to-air missile system
The Iranian Ministry of Defence is currently manufacturing a new long-range air-to-air missile system called Maqsoud to counter airborne threats, Iranian armed forces general staff deputy head brigadier general Mohammad Hejazi has announced.
Hejazi was quoted by Fars News Agency as saying: "Iran has accomplished construction of the mid-range air-to-air Fakour 90 missile and is now building Maqsoud missile system as its newest long-range air-to-air missile system."
Without providing additional details about the missile, Hejazi noted that the Iranian armed forces is currently working on 17 air-based weapons system development projects, alongside 11 top level projects in the aerospace industry.
Addressing a conference on air-launched weaponry in Tehran, Hejazi also announced that the military experts have resolved targeting problem in the domestically manufactured air-based Qader and Nasr missile systems providing the Iranian armed forces with enhanced manoeuvring power.
The missile systems were unveiled last week during a ceremony in Tehran, according to the news agency.
Commenting on the missiles, Iranian defence minister brigadier general Hossein Dehqan said: "By designing and building these air-based missiles for the first time in Iran, the air force's fighter jets will be equipped with advanced air-based Qader missiles with a range of over 200km and air-based Nasr missiles with a range of over 35km and their operational and deterrence power will increase powerfully."
The Qader and Nasr missiles are capable of intercepting targets located within a range of 200km and 35km respectively, Dehqan added.

Kids Handled 2020 Like Champs. Let's Make It Up To Them.
Children deserve so much credit for their resilience, and we can do a few things to give them a better 2021.

Kids dealt with a very hard year remarkably well. Here's how we can make it up to them.
Last year was difficult for everyone, and children in particular faced many challenges. Millions of American kids haven't stepped foot in a classroom since last March, and many have lost loved ones or are facing food insecurity. Kids have been cut off from their friends and favorite activities, and they've had to learn to live with profound uncertainty. They're also likely to be among the last in line for vaccination.
Accordingly, plenty of indicators show that many children are really hurting. Yet they also showed remarkable resilience throughout 2020 — adapting to huge changes thrown their way partly because of poor decisions adults made. Kids have made the best of remote learning, adapted to new COVID-19 public health protocols like wearing masks far better than many adults, and found new ways to play and connect.
"Kids have been so resilient," said Julie Ross, executive director of Parenting Horizons and author of "Practical Parenting for the 21st Century." "It's astonishing, really."
Most of the factors that made 2020 so hard are still around, but there are things parents can do to help kids have a better 2021. Here are a few.
Let go of worries about kids' "bad habits."
Ross said she spent much of last year talking to parents who were worried their children were falling into bad habits, from spending too much time on screens to sleeping until three minutes before their first Zoom class of the day.
Boundaries are essential for children, but Ross said she hopes caregivers will stress less in 2021 about their kids developing pandemic-era habits.
"Many of the habits that children are developing now that their parents are 'worried' about are ones that serve them well in this bubble we're living in," Ross said. "What concerns me, to tell you the truth, is that because parents are worried, they're putting pressure on to their kids and not acknowledging how resourceful they are being."
The Child Mind Institute suggests this simple exercise for parents: ask yourself some basic questions about your child's well-being, like whether they're generally eating and sleeping well, whether they're moving every day and spending time with family, and whether they're pretty much on top of their schoolwork. If you can answer "yes" to most of those questions, then other habits you may not love — like too much screen time — are probably "not a huge deal."

Experts say parents shouldn't worry too much about "bad habits" — like too much screen time — that kids may be developing during the pandemic.
Take a hard look at whether we're unintentionally projecting.
Surveys from the past year definitely suggest that many children are struggling emotionally, but adults generally fared even worse. In one American Academy of Pediatrics survey, nearly 30% of parents said they experienced worsening mental health over the past year, while about 15% said they noticed their children were.
Parents and caregivers need to be really careful about unintentionally projecting their own struggles and anxieties on their children, Ross said. And as hard as it may seem — especially given how widespread parental burnout is and has been over the past year — adults also need to make sure they're getting the support they themselves need.
"Parents really need to look internally," Ross said, and figure out if they're the ones who really need "the oxygen mask" right now.
That may mean taking simple steps to work some very basic self-care into the next 12 months, or it may mean connecting with a mental health professional who can offer support.
Notice the amazing job our kids are doing — and tell them.
Over-praising children has gotten a bad rap, but many experts push back on the idea that children can be spoiled by it. No, empty praise is not good, but children need to feel their parents' pride.
Ross said that's particularly true as we continue to slog through the pandemic, and she differentiated between broad, unspecific praise and clearly acknowledging children's behaviors. Parents might say something like: "I know that this is tough, and I notice that you're really drawing on your resources to get through it."
"Acknowledgement is specific, and acknowledgement is not overblown," Ross said.
The goal is to show children that someone is noticing everything they're doing to get through this unprecedented time, rather than simply focusing on, say, how they spaced out during their 10:30 a.m. Zoom social studies class.

It's important for parents to set aside time to play with their kids — even during the pandemic, when people are with their families all day.
Prioritize quality time.
Many parents and children have spent more time together over the past 10 months than ever before, but experts repeatedly emphasized the need to set aside time that is about connection and play.
Claire Nicogossian, a clinical psychologist and author of "Mama, You Are Enough: How to Create Calm, Joy and Confidence Within the Chaos of Motherhood," previously told HuffPost that parents can benefit from tallying up how much time in any given day they've actually spent just hanging out with their kids. Then try to add a few minutes more.
"This is not to make you feel more guilty, but give you perspective," Nicogossian said. "Often, we as parents spend so much time in the supporting roles of parenting, we lose out on the fun, quality-time moments."
Research really does show that it's not so much the amount of time parents spend with their kids during the day that matters; it's whether any of that time is quality time.
Follow public health recommendations.
This last one isn't specific to parents, but it is essential: In order for children to get back to any level of "normal" in 2021, adults need to come together and follow public health guidelines meant to curb the spread of COVID-19. Yes, vaccination is happening. But there are now new strains of the virus circulating, and experts say everyone must be on guard.
As Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, recently said, we need to collectively "put our foot to the floor and the pedal about making sure we do the public health measures that we talk about all the time."
"The wearing of masks, the physical distancing, the avoiding crowds and congregate settings — those are the kind of things that will prevent this new strain from spreading even further," Fauci said.
And those are also the kind of things that will help get our children back into schools, and allow them to just be kids again.
