As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But while we can appreciate that others might hold different opinions of objects we see, not many people know that factors beyond our control can influence how we perceive the basic attributes of these objects. We might argue that something is beautiful or ugly, for example, but we would be surprised to learn that the same object is perceived as a sphere by one person but as a cube by another.
The process of visual perception is a best guess scenario. When we look at something, the brain uses visual cues –sensory signals that convey information – to help work out what that thing is. This means that our perception of the world is not a simple reflection of sensory information, it is an interpretation of it.
Along with colour and motion, the perception of depth is very important to help us visually perceive things. Depth helps us to understand the shape of objects and their location relative to ourselves. We need to understand it to move around our environment and interact with objects. Imagine trying to pick something up if you don't know what shape it is, or crossing the road if you can't accurately perceive the distance of the cars.
The circle on the left is usually perceived as convex, while the circle on the right is usually perceived to be concave.To perceive depth, humans and animals rely on a number of brain processes and visual cues. One of these cues is shading information: we can perceive depth by simply interpreting the patterns of light and dark on the surface of objects, without needing to refer to any other information.
In order to perceive depth from shading patterns, we must either know or assume the position of the light source that illuminates the object. By default, if the light source is not apparent, we assume that the light comes from above the object.
Look at the fist image (above right). The sphere on the left will most likely appear convex (protruding outwards). This is because it is lighter at the top, which reflects the patterns of light and dark that would be produced on a convex object if there was an overhead light source. The sphere on the right usually looks concave (recessed inwards) because it's darker at the top. Again, if there was an overhead light source, a concave object would be darker at the top because the upward-facing portions of the object catch the light, and the downward-facing portions are obscured.
The light-from-above assumption isn't very surprising, since we evolved in a world with an overhead light source – the sun. A less intuitive finding that scientists have made, however, is that light is assumed to originate from the upper left-hand side of space. We know this because, in the lab, people are generally faster to detect convex spheres from a group of concave spheres if the convex sphere is lit from the above-left, and they more readily categorise these left-lit objects as convex.
The oddball sphere should pop out from among the others in the top line, but is much more difficult to see in the bottom line (it is the final circle in the sequence).
Experiments that measure electrical activity in the brain have also found that left-lit objects are more rapidly recognised than those lit from other orientations. This is demonstrated in the second image. Both the upper and lower rows of circles contain one that is different from the others – an oddball. The oddball in the top row is lit from the above-left and it should "pop out" from the others, which have an exactly opposite shading pattern. The circles in the lower line also have an opposite shading pattern, but the oddball is much harder to detect because its shading pattern does not conform to our above-left expectations.
However, like the overhead light source assumption, the leftward light source bias exists outside conscious awareness. And not everyone experiences it. For example, people who read from right-to-left (such as Arabic or Hebrew readers) sometimes show rightward biases or smaller left biases than people who read left-to-right. Interestingly, people who have recently suffered a stroke in the right-hemisphere parietal lobe typically demonstrate a rightward light source bias too. This could indicate that the right parietal lobe – which is responsible for perceiving the physical environment and integrating information from the senses, such as sight and hearing – is ordinarily responsible for orienting visual attention to the left side of space, because disrupting the normal function of that region shifts attention rightward.
The fact that a person's culture or brain changes can result in subjective differences in perception means that some people will perceive concavity in certain images, The honeycomb stimulus: some people perceive the central hexagon as convex, others as concave.whereas others will perceive convexity. The honeycomb image to the right is one example that we use experimentally to find out how someone perceives depth from shading. Some people will perceive the central hexagon as convex, while others (usually those with a left bias) as concave.
We all assume everyone perceives the world as we do, even if their impressions might be different from ours. It is difficult to imagine that some people might perceive three-dimensional depth differently from ourselves. But if our perception of something as basic as whether an object is convex or concave is not reliably the same across people and populations, how can we begin to judge the subjective experience? Biases in visual perception might explain some differences in aesthetic judgements, but if we can explain why different people have an opposite perception of the same thing, it could, ultimately, further our understanding of human cognition on a wider scale.


It stirs me at a very deep level to contemplate how, while I am far removed from the world into the way off dreams of night, the computer in my perfectly silent room is generating radio programs for listeners several states away fully occupied in lives of their own completely outside of my purview.
Why is the computer doing this or how is it doing it?
Let's see if someone comes along who has a way of explaining what I posted.
When I wrote it I wasn't trying to be hard to translate, I thought the situation would come across.
If, after several days, no one makes it clear, I personally will return with a full explanation because it's a life experience any part 15er might have.
I stepped out the back door of my little townie AM station late at night to check the tower lights. When I looked up the towers, the realization that my voice was coming out of all that steel and into two states plus Canada was a very moving moment. I wasn't just a kid on the sidelines anymore – I was now all those radio guys I envied growing up.
BillyBurg drives it home. That's the kind of experience I described in the opening post. It's called "lucid awareness", that is to say, a moment in which you see life in its entirety and your place in the universe. Kind of like DX reception in the head.

We are past the middle of February and even though the cold has been intense and the snow bounteous, there is a different feeling in the air.
As I shoveled our driveway yesterday, I got so overheated I had to take my jacket off and work in a sweater. The ice patch in front of our steps has developed tiny rivulets under its surface. The birds have been visiting the bird feeder, and their morning song has lasted for longer and longer stretches. When I wake up at 7 am a promising wisp of light is discernible through the window curtains. When we sit down to dinner at 6 pm the sun still hasn't set.
Like Napoleonic armies retreating from Moscow, the winter is still showing its outer might, but its spirit is broken. We can all feel it.
This transitional cycle between seasons would feel intolerably protracted but this year I thank goodness for the Olympic games! Like most foreigners I love the Olympic games and sometimes marvel at how much time I, and my European friends (mostly middle aged and elderly ladies,) are willing to spend watching sports that we care nothing about: luge, bobsleigh, curling, snowboarding, cross country skiing, speed-skating. Ice skating we like. My husband and sons, who love watching basketball, baseball and football, watch the Olympic sports only under duress.
I love the Olympic games and not for the sports at all. I love the congregation of different peoples all in the same place at the same time. In peace. How often does that happen outside the games? Never. But here they are, these young kids, all carrying their tribal DNA in their features, most of them here not to win medals but to meet young people from places other than their own, to share experiences and to have fun.
To see them all together is to know that winter is not forever and that spring will come after all.
As *Baby-Bird* Season approaches, more birds have been visiting our bird feeder, too; and I think some males are~~~very focusedly~~~also practicing their "Mating Songs," (haha)!!
We have a returning "Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal" at our place………… (i.e., This information is from the New Kensington, PA, Department of Biology: "Cardinals are predominately monogamous and will mate for life. On average, Northern Cardinals live for 3 years in the wild although several individuals have had life spans of 13 to 15 years. The longevity record for a captive northern cardinal is 28 ½ years!")………… and it's always simply *l.o.v.e.l.y.*, Liliana, to observe how our two resident cardinals' feathers………… change in late Winter/early Spring………… from being more subdued………… TO being very *vividly* and *vibrantly* noticeable!!
thanks for the information. We have a number of cardinals (both male and female) coming to our bird feeder, but I never thought that they could be life partners. How lovely is that!
Hugs and good wishes to you.
Well put about the Olympics! There are so few events that are truly international and not acrimonious–that's very attractive to me. And somehow the shining optimism and boundless energy of those young athletes helps us oldsters get through this dreary winter. I've been noticing the birds, too, and the longer days. Both make me feel a quiet joy.
Quiet joy – such beautiful words! We have to remind each other that there are good things in this world. So often I forget.

"The 2009/10 U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (U.S. AMLR) field season continued a long-term series of studies of the Antarctic Peninsula ecosystem, designed to support the conservation and management of Antarctic marine fisheries by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The U.S. AMLR Program is managed and implemented by the Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division (AERD). The field research is used to describe the Antarctic ecosystem as a function of the relationships between Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), their predators and the physical and biological oceanographic conditions of the marine environment. Two working hypotheses have been proposed: 1) krill predators respond to changes in the availability of their food source, and 2) the distribution of krill is affected by both physical and biological aspects of their habitat"--Intro.

What Does OG Mean?
Even if you are not an avid weed smoker, you've undoubtedly heard of the term 'OG.' You've probably heard it used as an adjective, e.g., "Yo, that was so OG. what you just did!" or "That was some OG shit right there!" You've no doubt heard it used as a noun, e.g., "Gotta get my hands on some of that straight OG!" Regardless of how you first heard the term, there seems to be one thing that people cannot agree on:
What does OG stand for?
What is OG?
Original Gangster
Ocean Grown
Original Generation
Original Grown
Original Gatorade
Orangutan Ganja
The answer- OG means a lot of things, depending on how you use the term. OG is one of those terms that started out as one thing and evolved into much more, coinciding with the rise in popularity of stoner culture and, of course, the internet.
A true OG meaning is multifaceted. The term is used in all sorts of pop culture references and products. For instance, there's the MTV show Teen Mom OG , or the popular Air Jordan series sneaker Air Jordan Retro High OG, but, again, what does it mean?
There are many definitions that the initials OG have come to stand for over the years. Here are some of today's possible meanings – some weed-related, some not.
The term "original gangster" first came into popularity when rapper Ice-T coined it back in the early nineties on his 1991 hit album OG Original Gangster . He is not credited with inventing the term, but he definitely had a hand in its massive popularity.
After Original Gangster came out, other popular rappers began using the saying, 'original gangster' in their song lyrics. Then the term started to be used in movies, such as in Boyz in the Hood. By the mid-nineties, everyone was using the term original gangster, but it was shortened to the initials OG. Soon people forgot about the initial meaning, original gangster.
Of course, OG also stands for "Ocean Grown," giving credit to the Pacific Ocean off of the coast of California. This definition is often referring to strains of weed. The original OG strain was OG Kush, and it gained popularity in the nineties, which of course, is the reason why the term OG is often associated with weed.
Now, the OG strain has many variations. You may have heard of some of these strains, such as:
SFV OG
Platinum OG
Tahoe OG
All of these strains are super sticky and super dankalicious.
Save money, Grow Your own!
Grow your very own OG strain in one of our world famous indoor pot growing kits!
OG could also stand for "Original Generation," which is similar to "original gangster," but it goes back further than nineties hip hop culture. Original generation refers to the original mobsters of the early twentieth century, particularly those who ran bootleg operations during America's failed experiment with prohibition in the twenties and early thirties.
Mobsters such as Al Capone, John Dillinger, and Bugs Moran were part of the original generation of gangsters, so it makes sense that they would be immortalized as such. 'Original generation' also refers to a TV trope of an original group of characters in a television or movie franchise with many sequels and spinoffs. The cast from the original 1960's Star Trek would be an 'original generation,' for instance.
Organic Grown
OG could also stand for "Organic Grown" when referring to weed. As with most things organically grown, this means weed that was grown without pesticides or any other harsh chemicals. That means the soils and nutrients are all-natural, resulting in delicious tasting weed, where you can taste and smoke all of the plant, and nothing that the plant was grown in.
It is challenging to grow weed this way. That's why many newbie growers use pesticides and soils such as Miracle-Gro to give their plants that extra boost. These inorganic methods often lead to unhealthy, stressed out plants, which, of course, affect the quality of your homegrown buds. If you want a healthier grow with the least amount of effort, use A Pot for Pot Complete Kit instead.
Related: Why Grow One Plant?
The initials could easily be referring to things outside of stoner culture, such as Original Gatorade. Gatorade has been around since 1965. It was first created in a lab by physicians at the University of Florida after their assistant football coach wanted to know why his players were having so many issues with dehydration and exhaustion during practice.
Science to the rescue! University physicians concocted a beverage containing not just water, but sodium, carbohydrates, and electrolytes designed to replenish as well as rehydrate. Thus, the neon-colored "Original Thirst Quencher" was born. Gatorade has gone through many different iterations over the years and spawned many imitators, but it is no doubt the original.
A term that has become popular in the last decade, Orangutan Ganja, according to Urban Dictionary , initially referred to the really strong weed that "Asian orangutans smoked with the Buddha in Buddhist mythology." The term now refers to really strong weed strains such OG Kush , Bruce Banner, and of course, the famous Gorilla Glue #4.
Related: Cheapest Way to Grow Indoors
This is one of those meanings that grew out of internet culture. When someone is talking about smoking "some of that Orangutan ganja," they are referring to any high THC strain that might make you feel like you are glued to your couch or one that makes you, well, feel like a wild primate. Basically, this version means really dank buds.
What is OG: the answer is simple. OG is anything you want it to be, whether it's original gangster, original generation, ocean grown, or even orangutan ganja. Like the origin of 420, the origin and original meaning of the term OG is something that no one will ever agree on unanimously. Technically any of the above meanings can be the real definition because they all have the correct initials.
Maybe we aren't supposed to know. What really matters is whether you are OG in your heart. Now light up some Fire OG and stop asking questions about a potential OG meaning .

State Vaccination Laws Under Scrutiny
.(Albany, NY) — State lawmakers are looking into closing what they call a loophole in New York's vaccination laws. The push comes as the number of measles cases continue to grow statewide and across the country. Under the current rules, parents are allowed to opt out of having their kids vaccinated for religious reasons. But, some argue that could cause more people to get sick during what's already a health crisis. A New bill would require all kids be immunized unless they have a medical exemption. Governor Cuomo has raised questions about the legislation, saying there may be first amendment issues involved.
New Security Measures in Place at State Capitol
(Albany, NY) — Starting today, there will be some new security measures in place at the State Capitol. State Police say they're going to triple the number of security checkpoint lanes. At each location, Troopers will be looking for illegal items like pellet guns, razor blades and knives. There will also be extra staff on hand for days when there may be a larger number of visitors.

Planning a trip to your favorite destination, no matter whether it's short or long ends up turning a stressful task. It should be a positive task, full of enjoyment and fun, but the available options and possibilities to choose from can overwhelm anyone. However, there is also a certain kind of excitement and joy while planning to-do-list before you actually start traveling. Whether it's your first foreign visit or you are a frequent traveler, there is a possibility that you could commit mistakes knowingly or unknowingly.
If you are confident that you know all the tricks and tips to avoid any traveling mistakes, think again, because even the informed travelers can lose their belongings, get lost easily, thanks to an unexpected bag inspection, no advanced preparations, or experiencing a phone mishap at the last minute.
In order to plan and organize a perfect trip, below outlined are some common mistakes you should avoid.
Not booking a flight is one of the biggest and worst mistakes of planning a trip. Now it's determined, you are going for the trip and you are sure about the destination. It's the right time to pre-book your flight tickets. The flight is an extremely important part of our vacation because it's part of your trip and you want to get a right start. While it can also be one of the costly expenses for travelers. Booking flights tickets early opens the doors for getting decent deals and discount on tickets price.
This is the most common mistake some travelers make while traveling to a foreign country or a place for the first time. Airport transportation services are considered to be one of the most favorable and best modes of transportation to travel to and fro from the airport. It can even reduce your additional travel and parking costs, so you should pre-book an airport transportation service if your traveling plan is ready. Advance booking of an airport shuttle service reduces your stress to deal with when you travel. For making your trip an exciting experience, don't forget to contact an airport transportation service and pre-book your airport shuttle.
Nobody wants to carry an overloaded bag and experience heavy baggage fees, for unintentionally extending the luggage weight limit. When you pack light, and only the required things, you can easily cut the luggage checking time and you don't have to worry about getting your checked luggage delayed or lost. Also, it allows you to move freely from place to place while saving you from another luggage claim. So, it's better to make a list of items you should actually carry, and pack stuff you are comfortable with.
To sum it up, these were the three biggest travel mistakes you should learn to avoid.

Taiwan approves $2.2 billion sale of AIG life unit
By Chris Oliver
Published: July 15, 2011 1:29 a.m. ET
ChrisOliver
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Taiwanese regulators approved late Thursday the planned sale of American International Group Inc.'s AIG, +1.03% Taiwan life-insurance unit to Ruenchen Investment Holdings Ltd., according to reports. The $2.16 billion acquisition of Nan Shan Life Insurance Co. comes after a 20-month effort to find a buyer for the AIG unit. An earlier attempt by Hong Kong-listed group China Strategic Holdings Ltd. foundered when Taiwanese regulators blocked the sale on grounds the company didn't have the necessary financial firepower to manage the takeover. Ruenchen, a group controlled by Taiwanese conglomerate Ruentex Group, was selected as a potential buyer by AIG in January.

Canada has recently announced approval of bill C-19 which will amend the immigration act and how the government will invite candidates under the Express Entry system starting in the first quarter of 2023. This system is designed to target specific occupations under Express Entry draws to help government of Canada fill labor shortages in specific sectors.
Why is Canada Making These Changes?
The process proposed by Bill C-19 may look like a sphere of how these PNPs are currently selecting their own candidates. The changes aim to respond to Canada's labour market and demographic needs more effectively.
As Canada faces a growing labour shortage, Canadian businesses urge the federal government to streamline immigration pathways for skilled workers so they can fill the labor shortages with right people.
How will It Work?
The Express Entry system is a point-based immigration system that invites skilled workers from around the world to apply for Canadian permanent residency. Applicants are evaluated on a number of factors such as age, language skills, education, work experience, and more. Those who score the highest points will be invited by the government of Canada through regular draws held throughout the year.
Under the new plan announced by Immigration Minister, Express Entry draws will now target specific occupations beginning in 2023.This proposal would give IRCC the ability to deviate significantly from the current process it uses to issue ITAs for permanent residence. Since the Express Entry application management system was launched, IRCC has issued ITAs based on Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, and Express Entry program of eligibility.
The new system will contain an option that will allow Immigration Minister to create Express Entry groups and then issue Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to these groups. As explained by IRCC, the minister would be able to form groups based on occupations in demand, and to address other policy objectives, such as welcoming certain demographic group or to target it towards a certain job title.
What Does This Mean For Me?
Lack of certainty is one of the major disadvantages of this resolution to allow ITAs to be issued based on groups. Moving forward, IRCC will have significant discretion to issue ITAs based on any criteria the department chooses. This runs the risk of ITAs being issued on non-objective criteria, such as public sentiment. For instance, IRCC may feel pressure from the public or special interest groups to issue ITAs to candidates in a given sector, even if objective economic data does not indicate the sector has labour shortages. Although this is an extreme example, it is meant to highlight a potential limitation of giving IRCC such wide autonomy when it comes to ITAs.
The lack of certainty is extremely problematic from a candidate's perspective. In theory, having a very high CRS score may no longer result in an ITA. For instance, a candidate with a CRS 490, which was more than enough to guarantee an ITA prior to the pandemic, may no longer receive an ITA, at the expense of a candidate with a CRS 300 who happens to fall under an occupation in-demand.
If you're planning on applying for Canadian permanent residency through Express Entry in 2023 or beyond then this may be great news for you if you happen to have qualifications or experience in one of the targeted occupations identified by the government. It could provide you with an advantage over other applicants but only time will tell exactly how it affects each individual applicant's chances of being invited through a draw.

Post subject: Refurbishing a Japanese Maple - the "Hedge Cutting Method"
According to my observation, this is a very questionable horticultural practice. This method only works to maintain a finished tree for some time. Eventually it will be so weak that one has to bring it back to health by encouraging strong shoot growth. To pinch a tree during its developmental phase is pointless any way. How is it going to grow, how is it to back bud, if it doesn't have any strength? I have seen a whole lot of trees that were run down in this way.
How did this misinformation arise? Well, a few decades ago when the first bonsai trees were brought to the West, the purchasers asked how they should care for these trees. The answer was given so that no mistakes could be made. It was assumed that the owners wanted to keep the trees in the state in which they purchased them. The pinching was recommended because it is useful for trees that are 'finished' and ready for exhibition or sale. Nobody thought at that time that the Westerners would ever be able to develop bonsai themselves.
For decades I have been using a method successfully which is pretty much the opposite of the normally recommended approach. You can look at my picture gallery to get an idea if my method works, or if it harms the trees as many people think. All my broadleaved trees - even the most valuable and best known - have been treated this way for decades.
The following example discussing the restoration of a Japanese maple is valid for many broadleaved species. To begin, the tree has to grow as much as possible to have as many leaves as possible that, in turn, develop the energy that ends up in new buds and new growth. If the first flush in spring is allowed to grow freely, then the shoots grow very long. After about six weeks they harden off. The numerous leaves produce lots of energy in the form of carbohydrates that moves downwards through the branches and is deposited in the branches, the trunk, and finally the roots. The result is that branches and trunk thicken, that the surface roots - the nebari - also thicken, and that the roots grow strongly. At the same time, many new visible and dormant buds develop. The entire system "tree" is strengthened and it has good reserves for any setbacks. A radical cutback is such a setback.

School releases video of 8-year-old boy who was bullied and who later killed himself
By Kristine Phillips
Gabriel Taye can be seen lying on the bathroom floor for several minutes.
A school surveillance video shows other students nudging or poking Gabriel with their feet as the 8-year-old lay motionless. At one point, three students can be seen standing over Gabriel. One of them, a boy wearing a blue sweater, raises his leg until his knee was at waist level before walking away.
For about six minutes, no one helped Gabriel – until an assistant principal walked in.
Earlier Gabriel is seen shaking hands with another student. That's when he suddenly fell to the ground. The video shows Gabriel's motionless legs from the bathroom entrance as other students hovered and walked past and around him.
Gabriel would kill himself two days later.
The Jan. 24 incident was recorded in a grainy and choppy 24-minute surveillance video that school officials released Friday, a day after the county coroner told a local radio station that her office is reopening the investigation into Gabriel's death.
In a statement posted with the video, Cincinnati Public Schools say Gabriel told school officials that he "fell." He later told them he "fainted."
"At no point did Gabriel indicate that he had been hit, yanked, pulled, pushed or assaulted in any way," school officials said in their description of the video. "He had no visible abrasions and there had been no report of a fight of any kind."
But a Cincinnati police detective who had viewed the video earlier painted a different picture.
As Gabriel was shaking the hands of the other student, the boy yanked him to the ground and appears to "celebrate and rejoice in his behavior," according to the officer's email description of the video reported by the Cincinnati Enquirer and obtained independently by The Washington Post. Students stepped over his body, pointing, mocking, nudging and kicking him, the detective said.
School officials said the detective's description mischaracterized the incident. They uploaded the entire video Friday after initially declining to release it. The video blurs the faces of the minors to protect their identities.
"We asked that you review the video, in its entirety," the school district said in its statement. "It is our firm position that the allegations portrayed in the media are not supported by the video."
Gabriel's mother, Cornelia Reynolds, however, says someone hurt her son.
"I feel he was cheated. I feel robbed. My only child, my best friend and my first true love isn't here with us physically, but I know he's here in spirit," Reynolds said in a statement Friday. "I will fight everyday, every second of every minute. I am my son's voice and it will be heard. As Gabe's mother, it's my obligation to make sure that this will never happen again. No, this will not go away."
For months after his suicide, Gabriel's mother had no knowledge of the trouble in the school bathroom. School officials did not notify her that her son was assaulted or unconscious – they simply told her he had fainted, the family's lawyer, Jennifer L. Branch, told The Post.
It was not until March, while the family's lawyers were investigating the circumstances leading up to the boy's death, that they learned about the video.
The family decided to release information about the video this week, hoping that parents and others in the community might come forward with information about what happened. Branch said the legal team is determining if it will file a lawsuit, and if so, against whom.
School officials said they were concerned about the length of time that Gabriel lay on the floor and the district is reviewing procedures regarding adult supervisions in the restrooms. But they also said employees "immediately followed protocol by calling the nurse to evaluate Gabriel," and they contacted his mother and advised her to take the boy to the hospital even though his vital signs were normal. Branch said the family denies that claim.
Branch said Gabriel was nauseated and vomiting on the evening of the Jan. 24 incident. His mother took him to the hospital, where she was told the boy had a stomach flu. Gabriel didn't go to school the following day, but went back on Jan. 26. That day, he would come home from school, go to his room and hang himself with his own neckties.
School officials said they shared the video with police investigators at the time of incident.
"Their investigation has concluded and no charges were filed," school officials said.
But Cincinnati Police Det. Eric Karaguleff, who viewed the footage just days after the boy's death, sent an email to the school's assistant principal, saying he saw "some concerning events in the video."
"I witnessed behavior that in my belief is bullying and could even rise to the level of criminal assault but due to the apparent age of the children involved my current opinion is it could be better dealt with appropriately at the school level," he said in the email.
Prosecutors are also now determining if criminal charges are warranted.
"We are all over it," Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters told the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Gabriel's death came amid a spike in youth suicide in Hamilton County, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Thirteen deaths were recorded for 2016 and seven so far this year.
"For the parents at that school, they need to ask questions when things happen because they may not be getting the whole story from the school district," Branch said. "Covering it up and pretending it's not happening isn't doing anyone any good."
Gabriel didn't show signs of medical or mental health issues, and was an "adorable" and "happy-go-lucky" child, Branch said.
Questions still remain on how a boy whom school officials described as "an outstanding young man" would decide to end his own life.
"Gabriel was a shining light to everyone who knew and loved him," his mother said in the statement. "We miss him desperately and suffer everyday. His life was not only stolen from him, but from those of us who expected to watch him grow up and enjoy life. If I could, I would give anything to have him back."
She added: "People need to know that truth and help fix this epidemic in our society by spreading awareness and speaking up. Parents, it's OK to tell your children to reach for help when someone is hurting them, whether it's at school, outside, home, or anywhere."

Q: ngx-datatable in angular2 filter back results on backspace I am using ngx-datatable (http://swimlane.github.io/ngx-datatable/#filter) in my angular project and trying to add a filter. The filter is added successfully on the column specified, however when I erase the filter characters with backspace, my original list data is not populated back.
My HTML:
<input
    type='text'
    style='padding:8px;margin:15px auto;width:30%;'
    placeholder='Type to filter the task name column...'
    (keyup)='updateFilter($event)'
  />
<div>
    <ngx-datatable  class="material"
    [rows]="tasks"
    [columns]="columns">
</ngx-datatable>

and in my component I have:
rows = [];
columns = [
{ name: 'Id' },
{ name: 'What task', prop: 'what_task' },
{ name: 'Budget', prop:'tentative_budget' }
];

temp = [];
ngOnInit() {

    this.taskListService.getTasks().subscribe(
        tasks => {
            console.log(tasks);
            this.tasks=tasks;
            this.tableData=this.tasks;
            this.tableModel.addAll(this.tableData);

        }
        )
}

updateFilter(event) {
    const val = event.target.value.toLowerCase();

    // filter our data
    const temp = this.tasks.filter(function(d) {
        console.log(d.what_task.toLowerCase().indexOf(val) !== -1 || !val)
        return d.what_task.toLowerCase().indexOf(val) !== -1 || !val;
    });

    // update the rows
    this.tasks = temp;

}

What am I missing?

A: You made a simple logical mistake. Try something like this
HTML
<ngx-datatable  class="material"
[rows]="tableData"
[columns]="columns">

TS
updateFilter(event) {
const val = event.target.value.toLowerCase();

// filter our data
const temp = this.tasks.filter(function(d) {
    console.log(d.what_task.toLowerCase().indexOf(val) !== -1 || !val)
    return d.what_task.toLowerCase().indexOf(val) !== -1 || !val;
});

// update the rows
this.tableData= temp;

}

Mouse anti Human HLA B7 antibody, clone BB7.1 recognizes the HLA B7 antigen and does not cross-react with HLA B27 or other related antigens. It can be used to distinguish true HLA B27 positives from false HLA B27 positives (i.e. HLA B7 positive) in the investigation of diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and anterior uveitis. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes that are important in the immune response to infections. In humans, this complex is referred to as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region. There are 3 major MHC class I proteins encoded by the HLA which are HLA A, HLA B and HLA C.The HLA B gene is part of the human HLA complex on chromosome 6 and there are a large number of variant alleles of this gene.

The case of imam Nalla Mohamed Abdul Jameel, has caused some disquiet in our community. Many in our community had not heard nor understood what the imam had actually said.
The imam had recited a verse from the Quran, the last verse of Chapter 2, but the problem is that he also added a supplication in which he sought God's help against the Jews and also the Christians. The added supplication is actually not from the Quran.
The Quran is in fact replete with messages of forgiveness, of compassion. The Quran calls for dialogue and reconciliation with Jews and also Christians, who are respectfully referred to as "People of the Book".
The words used by the imam have no place in today's Singapore where we as communities live in peace and also in harmony.
When this supplication was recited by the imam and was made public, it naturally made our Jewish and Christian friends wonder why they were being targeted. It has also caused confusion and suspicion among non-Muslims and unfortunately it has also damaged the image of Islam and Muslims.
Muis' Code of Ethics obliges all religious teachers to ensure that any religious guidance given to the community does not harm our social harmony.
Muis' guidance to imams is very clear and that is for them to recite supplications in positive ways seeking God's help to restore justice, peace and harmony so that, for instance, communities affected by strife and disaster can rebuild their lives. In this regard, there should be no doubt that one can still pray for Muslims who are victims of oppression and also of wars.
The other lesson from this case is that the community must refer any matters of concern to the proper authorities, instead of posting on social media.
The sensationalist and also the irresponsible use of social media will definitely sow discord within and also across communities.
This case I hope serves as a strong reminder on what Muis has always stressed: that the use of social media must be tempered with wisdom and also with adab, and that is ethics and civility.

KFC, cleaning rosters and staged photos: A typical day inside the 'Candy Shop Mansion'.
Looking through the Instagram account of the 'Candy Shop Mansion', you'll see women in bikinis, women in lingerie, women in… nothing and occasionally, the man behind it all: Travers Beynon.
The former AFL player turned model turned (non-smoking) tobacco tycoon is often referred to as Australia's answer to Hugh Hefner. The 47-year-old shares his home with his children, wife, girlfriends and well, just about any other women who want to come stay.
Judging from the social media content, you'd assume it was all partying and debauchery. No doubt there is a fair share of that going on, but according to 22-year-old American Ashley – who stayed there for 10 days in 2018 – it's not all what it seems.
Ashley gave an insight into what life is really like inside the mansion. Post continues below video.
Video by YouTube
Ashley travelled to the Gold Coast from the US to stay with Travers, his wife Taesha, and a number of girlfriends, saying she was initially excited for 10 days of partying and fun.
A post shared by Travers Beynon (@traversbeynonofficial) on Feb 16, 2019 at 3:54am PST
But the reality of it was sort of… mundane.
Three Women, The Best Book Of The Year
The mansion is huge: not surprising given his $200 million net worth and love for extravagance. The 15-bedroom, 19-bathroom home is decorated with Grecian and Italian-style art. There's a gold-plated swimming pool with a grotto and bar, which is watched over by a seven tonne statue of Poseidon.
This is... the entrance. Image: YouTube.
Image: YouTube.
It's a lot.
When Ashley arrived at the mansion, she was surprised to learn that all the women had to cook their own meals as well as work out daily in the mansion's gym.
She said she would take "long showers" to pass the time, as well as spend entire days watching TV or movies in the mansion's theatre or working on her tan.
She explained how the women would follow a cleaning roster... which she was not too worried about, because at least it gave her something to do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Daily tasks included making Travers' breakfast, making Travers' "1st and 2nd meal", making Travers' 'shake' and making Travers' dinner.
This seems... fun? Image: YouTube.
At night, all the women and Travers share a room: There are three beds all put together, effectively creating one big bed.
...Oh. Image: YouTube.
She was surprised by the daytime routine of the household, which meant early morning wake-ups and "crazy early" bedtimes to fit in with Travers' work schedule.
But then the weekend would roll around, and perks included parties, dinners out in matching outfits, trips on Travers' private yacht (with just one bottle of champagne to share between them which Ashley was disappointed by) and um, KFC for their Sunday family dinner every week.
Ashley also let slip that many of the photos we see on social media - of half-naked (and sometimes fully naked) women - are often staged.
"The assistant comes down and says, 'You need to be ready at this time because we're going to take pictures'," Ashley recalled.
"So this photographer lady comes in, we take a billion pictures... what they would do for these pictures, which I know a lot of other people do, is they would show us these different pictures and we were supposed to mimic them."
A post shared by angel baby ???????????????????? (@lilangel_ash) on Jul 9, 2019 at 3:05pm PDT
Although she was expecting more... rowdiness, Ashley said she had a great time at the mansion.
"All in all, honestly, it was awesome. I'm very glad I went and did it... even though it wasn't what I expected, at all, it was awesome."

Teen Titans #6. Will Pfeifer- Script, Scott Hepburn- Art, Dan Brown- Colors.
Teen Titans is one of the books currently published by DC Comics that manages to genuinely feel contemporary and also appeal to a younger audience, not little kids, but definitely teenagers. This is a clear callback to the Wolfman/Perez run on New Teen Titans that began over thirty years ago. Will Pfeifer should definitely be applauded for this effort no matter the execution. As an, ahem, older reader, it is a trip into a different point-of-view. With this issue, there is an idea put forth by the new Power Girl which seems to echo this on a meta-textual level. However, it is even more intriguing as a story point.
The issue opens with Wonder Girl, Red Robin, Bunker and Raven watching the new Power Girl take down a grey-skinned Hulk wanna be. The Titans then do their part in disabling the other monsters on the loose. Raven casts a spell to get them back to Bunker and Gar's pad. The new PG recounts her origin to the Titans and them shocks them with the accusation that they are doing the whole super-hero thing all wrong. PG's accusation is clearly motivated by the death of her mother at the hands of Desaad, and Red Robin rightly cautions her, but PG is adamant and perhaps not surprisingly, Wonder Girl comes not only to her defense, but throws in with her and spirits them away to her place. This is the challenge: As super-heroes, you aren't doing enough- you need to take the fight to the villains in a pro-active manner. What had been a rather pedestrian issue suddenly becomes quite thought provoking and intriguing.
Meanwhile, Beast Boy is undercover at S.T.A.R. Labs as a green mouse. He's tailing Manchester Black, a S.T.A.R. Labs employee who is trying to partner with Red Robin and the Titans and vice versa. Manchester leaves and Beast Boy gets caught by a janitor. Oddly, Manchester arrives at Wonder Girl's apartment and explains what's going on at S.T.A.R. Labs and his desire for Wonder Girl's help mere moments before S.T.A.R. is engulfed in a mushroom cloud.
The challenge by the new Power Girl is certainly intriguing. It serves as a story point of conflict between Red Robin and Wonder Girl, but it also serves acts as a point of departure in viewpoints between the traditional (Batman sidekick) approach and a contemporary view as espoused by the newest Teen Titan. Hepburn's art seems to be stylistically similar to what Babs Tarr is doing in Batgirl, and thus connects these youth oriented books, whether intentional or not.
The opening was a bit clichéd as was Power Girl retelling her origin. The outcome of the meeting was definitely a step in the right direction, but Manchester's arrival just as S.T.A.R. Labs was attacked felt convenient once again.
Overall, this was an uneven issue. There were a few moments of really intriguing stuff, yet it was unfortunately balanced by some very run of the mill super-hero comic filler. For a newer reader this probably won't bother you.


It was a Tudor takeover at Fitchingfield Guildhall and on the village green at the weekend, in an event that saw residents and visitors journey to the past.
The organisers, local volunteers, and re-enactors from the Companye of Merrye Folke, were all in period costume as part of the two-day event.
The actors wore authentic-style Tudor gear, with linen shirts and woollen skirts, and fur for the gentry.
Upstairs in the original 15th century Guildhall, there was a hive of activity. Stalls displayed Tudor treats, ranging from the traditional drinks of ale and mead to crafts, such as lavender favours and pomanders.
The baker's stall was popular with Tudor mandrets, small cheese scones, in a bread oven, for visitors to sample.
The event, now in its second year, was a family occasion, with children's activities such as marbles, bean bags and a puppet show all proving popular.
The weekend raised about £1,000 towards the upkeep of the ancient guildhall. Kiki Wood, guildhall manager and central to its restoration in 2011, said: "It was all splendid. We were overwhelmed with the number of people who arrived on Sunday afternoon, there were some 600 visitors and some people spent the whole day in the village.

After Gujarat results, AAP set for upgrade: What it takes to become a 'national party' in India
After Gujarat results, AAP set for upgrade: What it takes to become a 'national party' in India
The ECI has laid down the technical criterion for a party to be recognised as a national party. A party may gain or lose national party status from time to time, depending on the fulfilment of these laid-down conditions. What are these criteria?

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was leading in 5 seats in Gujarat after more than seven hours of counting of votes on December 8, but its vote-share was close to 13%, which meant it is on track to be recognised as a national party by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

What is a national party?
The name suggests that a national party would be one that has a presence 'nationally', as opposed to a regional party whose presence is restricted to only a particular state or region.
National parties are usually India's bigger parties, such as the Congress and BJP. However, some smaller parties, like the communist parties, are also recognised as national parties. A certain stature is sometimes associated with being a national party, but this does not necessarily translate into having a lot of national political clout.

Some parties, despite being dominant in a major state — such as the DMK in Tamil Nadu, BJD in Odisha, YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh, RJD in Bihar, or TRS in Telangana — and having a major say in national affairs, remain regional parties.
So how is a national party defined?
The ECI has laid down the technical criterion for a party to be recognised as a national party. A party may gain or lose national party status from time to time, depending on the fulfilment of these laid-down conditions.
As per the ECI's Political Parties and Election Symbols, 2019 handbook, a political party would be considered a national party if:
i. it is 'recognised' in four or more states; or
ii. if its candidates polled at least 6% of total valid votes in any four or more states in the last Lok Sabha or Assembly elections and has at least four MPs in the last Lok Sabha polls; or
iii. if it has won at least 2% of the total seats in the Lok Sabha from not less than three states.
To be recognised as a state party, a party needs:
i. at least 6% vote-share in the last Assembly election and have at least 2 MLAs; or
have 6% vote-share in the last Lok Sabha elections from that state and at least one MP from that state; or
ii. at least 3% of the total number of seats or three seats, whichever is more, in the last Assembly elections; or
iii. at least one MP for every 25 members or any fraction allotted to the state in the Lok Sabha; or
iv. have at least 8% of the total valid votes in the last Assembly election or Lok Sabha election from the state.
Where does the AAP fit into this scheme?
The AAP is in power with big majorities — and very large vote shares — in Delhi and Punjab. And in the Goa Assembly elections held in March, it received 6.77% of the vote.
This meant that going into the Gujarat-Himachal elections, the party already fulfilled the criteria for recognition as a state party in three states.
It now required 6% of the vote in the Assembly elections in either Himachal or Gujarat to be recognised in a fourth state — which would qualify it for recognition as a national party.
While the AAP got only 1% of the vote in Himachal — where it virtually pulled out of the race midway through the campaign — its almost 13% vote in Gujarat is more than double what it required to be recognised as a state party there. That made it four states.
What are the other national parties?
As of now, the ECI has recognised eight parties as national parties — the BJP, Congress, Trinamool Congress, CPI(M), CPI, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), and Conrad Sangma's National People's Party (NPP), which was recognised in 2019. Once the official results of the Gujarat elections are announced, AAP will become the ninth party to be recognised as a national party.

L.A. Judge Grants Bail for Man in Fake COVID-19 Meds Case
A federal magistrate judge Friday granted bail for a Southern California man who allegedly sought financing to mass-produce an unproven pill he said would prevent and cure COVID-19.
Keith Lawrence Middlebrook — who is associated with several addresses, including residences in Westwood, Newport Beach and Murrieta — was arrested Wednesday while delivering the pills to an undercover FBI agent posing as an investor, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The judge Friday set bond at $150,000, secured by affidavit of surety signed by the 53-year-old defendant's mother and posting of $50,000 of equity in her home. After his release, a court order prevents him from promoting or having anything to do with COVID-19 cures or preventions, and he is prohibited from using social media to promote anything.
An April 9 preliminary hearing and April 16 arraignment hearing were set previously.
Prior to his arrest, Middlebrook allegedly told the undercover agent that a $300,000 investment would yield $30 million in returns.
Middlebrook is accused of fraudulently soliciting funds with promises of massive profits for a company he called Quantum Prevention CV Inc. (QP20), and falsely claimingto at least one potential investor that former NBA star-turned-businessman Earvin "Magic" Johnson was a member of the board of directors, according to an affidavit in support of the criminal complaint.
Johnson confirmed to investigators that he knew nothing about Middlebrook's company, federal prosecutors said.
Middlebrook allegedly wrote to a cooperating witness in the investigation that he had developed the cure for COVID-19, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
More than two million people watched Middlebrook's YouTube and Instagram videos, where authorities say he falsely claimed to have developed a COVID-19 prevention pill and a cure for those already infected with the novel coronavirus, prosecutors said.
In a video posted to his Instagram account, Middlebrook said that because of the pill, he could walk into Staples Center filled with infected people and not contract the virus, according to prosecutors.
Middlebrook is charged with one felony count of attempted wire fraud, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison.

Guardians of the Galaxy was a real treat. I love any film that makes me laugh out loud, and this film delivered more than a few times. There were also some really touching moments, and I got a bit emosh at one point. The humour was actually kinda subtle and didn't seem forced, the soundtrack integrated with the storyline perfectly and was just generally really enjoyable, and the characters were wonderful.
Marvel are on a roll at the moment, and this absolutely lived up to the hype. It actually exceeded my expectations because I wasn't 100% sure I'd enjoy it from the trailers I'd seen. This was purely because I suspected it might be a little bit too cheesey, but it totally wasn't, it was absolutely spot on! Believe the hype, and give it a watch.
