Q: pass block instruction as macro's argument in C I don't know if that is possible, I want to pass a block of instructions in macro like an argument.I will show you an example:
#define ADD_MACRO(size, BLOCK){ for(int i=0; i<size; i++){\
                                    BLOCK} }

what do you think about it?
thanks for help

A: The only problem with the given macro is that it doesn't handle commas in the BLOCK. Commas are tolerated by a variadic macro parameter:
#define ADD_MACRO(size, ...) do { for(int i=0; i<size; i++){\
                                      __VA_ARGS__} } while(0)

(Also, common practice is to enclose statement macros in do … while(0) to force the user to include a semicolon.)
(Of course, the original problem may have a better solution. The preprocessor is a blunt instrument. This is the preprocessor solution to the stated question.)

A: You can do this by simply showing a block into the macro, or by using a variadic macro as suggested in another answer. However, I wouldn't recommend using macros for this purpose, as it tends to make the code less readable, more error-prone and harder to read/maintain.
Instead, for generic programming, consider using function pointers corresponding to the desired functionality.
Another option is to use the C11 _Generic macro to create type safe, generic code. Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

void int_increase (int* item)
{
  (*item)++;
}

void char_increase (char* item)
{
  (*item)++;
}

void int_print (int* item)
{
  printf("%d ", *item);
}

void char_print (char* item)
{
  printf("%c", *item);
}

void int_clear (int* item)
{
  *item = 0;
}

void char_clear (char* item)
{
  *item = '\0';
}

void int_traverse (int* data, size_t size, void(*action)(int*))
{
  for(size_t i=0; i<size; i++)
  {
    action(&data[i]);
  }
}

void char_traverse (char* data, size_t size, void(*action)(char*))
{
  for(size_t i=0; i<size; i++)
  {
    action(&data[i]);
  }
}

#define do_something(data, size, action)  \
  _Generic((data), int*  : int_traverse,  \
                   char* : char_traverse) \
  ( (data), (size), _Generic((data), int*: int_ ## action , char*: char_ ## action ) )

int main (void)
{
  int int_data [] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

  do_something(int_data, 5, increase);
  do_something(int_data, 5, print);
  printf("\n");
  do_something(int_data, 5, clear);
  do_something(int_data, 5, print);
  printf("\n");

  char char_data [] = "ABCDE";
  do_something(char_data, 5, increase);
  do_something(char_data, 5, print);
  printf("\n");
  do_something(char_data, 5, clear);
  do_something(char_data, 5, print);
  printf("\n");
  return 0;
}

Output:
2 3 4 5 6
0 0 0 0 0
BCDEF

Simply add more of the similar kind of functions if you need to use other types.

A: thks for all, especially Potatosmatters, so I follow your directives and I would like to resume your answer into small code that can be useful for the others:
#define CALL_MACRO(size,instructions){ for(int i=0;i<size; i++){\
                                           instructions ;} }
......
 //put whatever you want into 'instructions'
 CALL_MACRO(100,for(int y=0; y<3; y++){ (inst1);
                                        (inst2);..} );
 CALL_MACRO(100,(other inst1);(other inst2);.. );

So the result of CALL_MACRO depends on what you insert as instructions.

For Gamescom 2018, we created two trailers to showcase the unique and varying ways to explore this gorgeous behemoth of a game.
Our RPG Trailer – Power of Choice, demonstrates the true scale and depth to the AC Odyssey experience. From rich dialogue and different combat styles to big and small scale interactions, we wanted to show the enormous breadth of ways to explore this game in the best way possible.
Conceived, captured and edited by FWS, we hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!


The Spanish property market is continuing to prosper with prices on a steady incline, demonstrating a strong recovery for this beautiful country.
Reports from an EU statistics agency published at the end of 2016 highlighted that house prices in Spain have been above the Eurozone average since 2014. Not only this, but the same report noted a 3.8% rise annually for property prices across the region. This is great news for the country after initially struggling to recover from the economic downturn back in 2008.
Performance has improved with house sales too. The number of residential transactions rose by 8.8% in Q3 of 2016 bringing the total number of property sales to 102,500. In fact, sales were reported to have risen in almost all of Spain's 17 regions, further proving that recovery is rife across the country.
The news follows on from reports in the summer that house prices in Spain were expected to rise by the end of 2016. These new reports certainly cement the predictions from experts earlier in the year as both sales and house prices have continued to rise above average levels within the Eurozone. With such promising outcomes, it is expected that 2017 will continue to see Spanish regions continue to thrive even further.

Q: How do I write a javascript variable to an sql database? I have a form that writes a name and email address defined by the user to a mysql database. The part I'm having trouble with is I have secondary part of the form that assigns values to checkboxes and then gives you the sum, which is defined as "total". I want to write this total to the same database. I'm new to coding in JS and I'm not quite sure how to pass total along once the value has been established by the user.
<form name="form1">
    <input type="checkbox" name="check[]" data-weight="5" /> 5

    <input type="checkbox" name="check[]" data-weight="10" /> 10

    <input type="checkbox" name="check[]" data-weight="30" /> 30

Total: 0

</form>

A: First of all: Should it work if Javascript is disabled? Or is it acceptable that form is submitted but possibly wrong/no value is written to db?
If it does not matter
what you get in your db from users without Javascript enabled then you can go with AvL's suggestion.
However if you want correct values
then you should make sure that you are not relying on Javascript support. You should make sure that your form always delivers consistent values, even if it is submitted without calculations done in Javascript.
In this case you should do calculations at server side rather than client side. Of course you could do calculations at client side but thing is that you only do client side math for client side user interface (not for final data).
I don't know about your server side processing and because of that I am not suggesting any code for server side calculations and/or saving values to database. Thus my only suggestion is that you should process your check[] bit array at server side.
If you want you can describe your server/database/processing better and leave note about your changes as comment to my answer.
Update:
This is basically longer explanation  about what pst commented to your question.

A: You can add a hidden input element:
<input id="totalChecked" type="hidden" name="total" value="0" />

and add the following to your function:
document.getElementById('totalChecked').value = total;

Donald Trump Insults Islamic Religion: 'Islam Hates Us'
Samantha Kilgore
Donald Trump did not bother to draw any distinction between the Islamic religion and Islamic terrorists during a recent interview, where he bluntly claimed that, "Islam hates us."
During an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN, Trump was asked whether or not he believed the Islamic religion was "at war with the West."
"I think Islam hates us," the former reality TV star and current GOP presidential frontrunner responded.
"We have to get to the bottom of it," Trump added. "There is an unbelievable hatred of us — anybody."
Trump deplored what he called the "tremendous hatred" that he claims at least partially defines the religion. He did say that the war is against radical Islam, but qualified even that statement, saying that radical Islam is "very hard to define. It's very heard to separate. Because you don't know who's who."

When asked by Cooper if Trump truly meant whether there was, as he said, an "unbelievable hatred of us" in the actual religion of Islam itself, Trump became coy and evasive.
"You're going to have to figure that out," he said. "Okay? You'll get another Pulitzer, right? But you're going to have to figure that out."
Trump then quickly turned it to a topic for which he has based his entire platform upon — immigration.
"But there is a tremendous hatred and we have to be very vigilant, we have to be very careful, and we can't allow people coming into this country who have this hatred of the United States."
Trump openly called for what he referred to as a "temporary ban" on Muslims entering the United States, "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." Despite widespread condemnation of the remarks, even from within his own party, Trump has steadfastly stood by the proposal, which he made in the wake of the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, by ISIS sympathizers. His proposal to ban all Muslims came the day after President Barack Obama asked the country not to "turn against one another" out of fear.
Trump's supporters believe a ban on Muslims is a "prudent idea."
Trump has also called for surveillance to be used in mosques within the United States and has said he would be willing to establish a database detailing all Muslims living within the United States.
In addition to those extreme proposals, Trump made headlines with his willingness to not only initiate policies that are considered torture, such as waterboarding, but expand those policies.

"We're going to stay within the laws. But you know what we're going to do? We're going to have those laws broadened because we're playing with two sets of rules: their rules and our rules," Trump said, referring to the tactics of ISIS, which include torture and brutal executions.
Trump has also said the United States should not simply focus on capturing or eliminating terrorists, but should eliminate their families, as well.
"The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their families," Trump said.
During his interview with Anderson Cooper, Trump stated that there "can be no doctrine" when Cooper asked him to outline how he would "project power overseas." And when given the opportunity to clarify how far he would go in regards to terrorists and the families of terrorists, Trump once again declined to give an actual answer, refusing to say what specific measures he would support as president.
"I'll work on it with the generals," Trump said. "We have to play the game at a much tougher level than we're playing it now."

text:
This list contains the changes in the file and directory structure. You might follow this in case you have made any changes to the default setup.

### webpack
- `/webpack` => `/config/webpack`
- `/webpack/_common.config.js` => `/config/webpack/common.js`
- `/webpack/_dev.config.js` => `/config/webpack/dev.js`
- `/webpack/_production.config.js` => `/config/webpack/prod.js`
- `/webpack/_aot.config.js` => Removed; merged to `/config/webpack/prod.js`
- `/webpack/dev-server.config.js` => `/config/webpack/dev-server.js`
- `/webpack/dll.config.js` => `/config/webpack/dll.js`
- `/webpack/test.config.js` => `/config/webpack/test.js`
- `/webpack/main.config.js` => Removed; now directly uses the configs corresponding to the particular script.
- `/webpack/constants.js` => Moved to `/config/webpack/factories` and split into three subfiles:
  - `constants.js` contains webpack configuration entries shared in different configs.
  - `plugins.js` contains factory functions for plugins.
  - `rules.js` contains factory functions for rules.

### example-prod-server
Folder got removed, contents moved to `/scripts`.
- `/example-prod-server/server.js` => `scripts/serve.js`
- `/example-prod-server/proxy.js` => `scripts/util/proxy.js`

### bin, dev
Both folders got removed, their contents (if anymore required) got moved:
- `/bin/compile-translations.js`, `dev/translations.js` => Merged to `scripts/translations.js`
- `/dev/utils.js` => `scripts/util/fileUtils.js`
- `/dev/watch.js` => `scripts/util/watch.js`

### Others
The files below have just been moved, without any further modification except path adoptions.
- `/stylelint.config.js` => `config/stylelint.config.js`
- `src/index.template.html` => `public/index.ejs`; is now an `ejs` template since the HTML version did no longer get processed correctly. This does not have any impact on the syntax used inside before.

# Technical changes
- Phantomjs was replaced by electron as test runner. See `docs/troubleshooting.md` if you face any problems.
- Development, build and test execution are now implemented in custom scripts. See the `scripts` folder for details. Both development and build mode are now using custom formatters for generating the output provided by webpack. Please open an issue if you face any problems or have any suggestions.
- Development and build mode are configurable via config file or CLI. See `docs/dev_configuration.md` and `docs/build_configuration.md`.
- The build mode no longer supports `closure-compiler` as code minifier, since it caused several problems in conjunction with AoT mode, while providing only a minor benefit.
- The different build modes no longer target different output folders by default. Those are configurable now.
- The unit tests are no longer executed in parallel during development, since that mode was quite noisy and caused additional confusion on larger projects, when test bundling takes long. If you still want that behavior, I'd recommend to start them in a different terminal tab; the `test:watch` starts the karma server in watch mode.
- Test execution was added as a pre-push hook to make sure they get executed before the corresponding commit gets published.
- Component templates (i.e. `*.component.html`) are now processed by `html-loader` instead of `raw-loader`. As a result, you might reference assets from those files to get them processed by webpack (e.g. images).
- **Assets**: There is now a suggested structure to deal with assets, either with directly  (i.e. processed by webpack) or indirectly referenced ones.
  - The `public` folder is intended for indirectly referenced assets, i.e. those that are not processed by webpack. The contents of this folder are recursively copied to your defined output folder in build mode except the `index.ejs` template. In development mode, they get served by the dev-server.
  - The `src/app` folder contains assets that are referenced by webpack, e.g. in case they are imported from your code or referenced by templates using relative paths.

# Tasks / Scripts
The task list has been cleared out a lot. All `pre*` tasks have been removed, their intent is now executed by the particular scripts. Below is a list of the changes to all other tasks, in case there was any.

### Scripts now aiming at particular scripts
- `start` => No longer executes a series of tasks or multiple tasks in parallel, but now uses a particular script that takes care of everything required.
- `test` => Now executes the tests once, in non-production mode.
- `build` => Now executes a build with AoT by default. Can be disabled using the `--use-aot=false` flag.
- `build:aot:bo` => Replaced by `build:bo`, AoT is now on by default.
- `prod-server`, `prod-server:aot`, `prod-server:aot:bo` => Replaced by the `serve` script, which picks up you most recent build by default.

### Scripts moved to particular scripts
- `dev-dll:` => Removed, executed in the particular scripts.
- `translations:prod` => Removed, executed in the particular scripts.
- `translations:dev` => Same.

### Scripts removed
The scripts below got removed because they are no longer required, since their work is now bound to the particular scripts.
- `clear`
- `test:dev`
- `dev-bundle`
- `dev-server`
- `dev-tasks`
- `build:aot` => Removed, AoT is now activated default.

The scripts below got removed because we no longer support closure compiler as code minifier.
- `build:cc`
- `build:aot:cc`
- `prod-server:cc`
- `prod-server:aot:cc`

### New scripts
- `test:watch` => Runs the karma test runner in watch mode.
- `test:ci` => Executes unit test including coverage, as mostly used by CI systems.

6 Interesting Things About Strength
by Tim Henriques | December 26, 2012 June 15, 2022
Tags Powerlifting & Strength, Training
Strength is a seductive temptress and I have no shame in proclaiming my love for her. But like anything in life that gets your juices flowing, to truly understand strength you must consider both the stuff you like and the stuff you don't like.
Here are 6 very interesting things about strength.
1 The Best Thing About Strength
The best thing about strength – in my opinion of course – is that anyone can improve from their starting level of strength. I'm not suggesting that everyone is capable of becoming a world record holder, but everyone can get better.
You might start out struggling to bench the bar and then a year later be using 150 pounds – not fantastic but still a lot better than where you started.
Being strong is an inherently relative concept. The good news (which I say with tongue planted firmly in cheek) is that as the general fitness level of the average person declines, it actually becomes easier to set oneself apart and become that much stronger than average.
Train several hours a week or more, train hard, incorporate the main lifts, follow progressive overload, stick with it for an extended period of time (measured in years, not months), and you'll get significantly stronger than when you started, not to mention a hell of a lot stronger than a "normal" person. In addition, as the strength comes, so do all the health benefits that accompany it.
2 The Worst Thing About Strength
The worst thing about strength – in my opinion – is that strength is specific, not general. Most people think strength is a single, all-encompassing quality, i.e., a person is strong or not.
An example of this line of thinking would be the comic book character The Hulk. The Hulk is super strong, which means he can do anything that's related to strength – pick up cars, throw tanks, cause earthquakes by smashing the ground, even fly because he can jump super high. Hell, his muscles are so strong that bullets simply bounce off him.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, as there's no single "strength quality." If there were, then the world champion arm wrestler, powerlifter, weight lifter, shot putter, and the World's Strongest Man would all be the same person. But it's not, nor has ever been the same person. Fact is, nobody's ever been on top in even two of those categories, except for the immortal Bill Kazmaier.
The reason for this all relates to the principle of specificity. Muscles don't function independently of the nervous system, and for every movement we need a motor pattern. In order to operate at very high levels, this motor pattern must be trained regularly. If it isn't, an individual may not be able to use the strength they've developed in one context in another, unrelated one.
In the classic Supertraining, Siff states that strength should not be viewed as "the ability to produce force by the action of the muscles," but instead that "strength is highly context dependent" and "can manifest itself into many forms."
To be clear, I'm not saying that there's never a relationship between strength in one activity and strength in another; what I am saying is that it's more of a tenuous relationship than one might assume.
If two activities are very similar – for example, deadlifting and picking up the back end of truck – there's likely considerable transfer, but bench pressing and punching through bricks might not be as related.
Strength is specific and not general, and therefore we can't simply rank people on something as broad as "strength" and accurately predict how they'll perform in all settings.
3 The Best Thing About Strength that Gets the Least Attention
Strength is easy to measure if you accept the common standards of testing it, such as seeing how much weight can be lifted with a barbell. This is an invaluable though often overlooked attribute – because strength can be easily measured, every set and rep gives the lifter precise, instant feedback.
Consistent practice with a focus on self-improvement is the key to mastery of any skill. Strength training brings that idea home like nothing else.
Imagine if an expert sat behind you as you typed up a paper, and after every paragraph gave you feedback about what was good and what was bad. Initially it might drive you crazy, but because she had expertise in the subject, the feedback would ultimately make you more confident in what you were writing about.
Nowhere else in life do we get such constant, clear feedback as at the gym, and this goes a long way towards building confidence and boosting self esteem. It's very empowering to see yourself succeed at something challenging as a result of your hard work, and I believe that all those positives can be traced back to the fact that strength is easy to measure.
4 The Thing You Might Not Have Known About Strength
For a single, all-out effort, assuming accuracy and injury are taken into consideration, it's likely impossible to be too strong. However, for other activities, particularly where endurance is a component, one can be too strong for the activity.
A few years ago I was helping my brother move. He'd boxed up everything and packed it into a U-haul truck and drove to his new place, and then I unloaded everything for him.
Let's assume we both did the same amount of work (i.e., we each moved the same number of boxes and the boxes weighed the same). My brother is moderately fit but not strong, certainly not by powerlifter standards – I would estimate he could deadlift 350 as his 1RM. To keep it simple, let's say that I'm twice as strong as he is, at least in the deadlift.
So there I am, unloading the truck and moving 120 boxes into the house and I started getting tired. More specifically, it was my erectors that were getting tired. How could this be possible if I was twice as strong as him? How could he do the same amount of work without much problem?
Each muscle has a certain number of motor units (a motor nerve and their accompanying muscle fibers) in it. Each motor unit can generate some level of force. Let's say for simplicity's sake that we both had 100 motor units in our erectors. Keep in mind that one benefit of training is the trainee learns how to better contract, or turn on, the tougher-to-fire motor units (type IIB), which generate the most strength. Also remember that the boxes didn't have weights labeled on them, and when moving objects of unknown weight one typically over-contracts to make sure their muscle force overcomes the resistance.
When my brother was loading up the boxes he may have contracted half or fewer of his motor units, and he was likely hitting mainly the slow twitch ones with just a few fast twitch thrown in. These motor units don't generate much fatigue and these boxes weren't super heavy – most were likely less than 50 pounds – so a huge level of strength wasn't required to lift them.
I theorized that I'd be more likely to stimulate the bigger type II motor units, which generate more force but also produce more waste products when they contract. Each individual box likely felt a bit easier to me but rep after rep, my erectors were over-contracting, using too much force per motor unit to get the job done, which ultimately led to the feeling of fatigue.
It's worth noting that training doesn't increase the total number of motor units you have; instead it increases how much force each one can produce and how many motor units you can use.
To summarize, my brother might have been contracting 50 of his motor units, each one generating 2 pounds of force, and thus his total level of fatigue wasn't great. I might have been contracting 65 motor units, each one generating 4 pounds of force, and thus I was working too hard for the task at hand.
So in essence, I believe one can be too strong for certain tasks, especially in relatively low resistance, endurance type activities.
5 The Thing You Kind of Know About Strength
Joint health is extremely important to strength. The body has sensors and proprioceptors throughout its framework to tell it what's going on. Joint stability and joint integrity is a very important concept for the body. If your joint is in pain, the body will turn off (deactivate) parts of the agonist muscles that cross the joint and produce the movement.
The body does this because the lower levels of force represent a reduced chance of injury to the already fragile joint. This is why, in my opinion, it's generally not advisable to train through joint pain. Even if you're tough enough to do it, you're using less of your muscle so you'll get compromised results – this is ignoring the fact that the pain is a warning something is wrong and further work might really mess up the joint.
While many factors affect joint health, a big one is joint stability. This is a reason why lifting aids like a belt or a bench shirt have become popular – the belt adds to the stability of the joint by externally stabilizing it. This allows the muscles that cross the joint to contract more strongly (recruiting more motor units) and thus more weight is lifted or more force generated.
This is also why powerlifters who wear gear (bench shirts, squat suits, etc.) often have a hard time calculating how much their gear helps them. In one sense it's simple – how much can you lift raw versus how much can you lift in gear – but another factor is how much the gear is adding to the stability of the joint and thus allowing the muscles to contract more forcefully.
6 The Thing You Always Read About Strength But Never Take to Heart
Bodyweight has a huge impact on strength. Some exercises are more affected by bodyweight than others, such as the bench press, military press, and squat. It's not just how much actual muscle or lean mass you have, but simply total bodyweight.
This ties in closely with the point made above. One of the ways to boost joint stability (and thus increase the muscles ability to contract) is to gain weight.
As you gain weight (10 pounds is usually enough to notice a bit of a difference) your surrounding tissues (even if it's extra fat) will buffer and support the joint, similar in the way that an external wrap would cover and help the joint. This increases stability and in turn increases strength (relative strength may or may not increase, absolute strength almost assuredly will).
I'm not advocating you gain 50 pounds of fat so your bench goes up 10 pounds, but I am suggesting that if you've been at a plateau for quite some time (both with your strength and your bodyweight), you might think about allowing yourself to gain weight to see if that allows your strength to increase noticeably.
That increase in turn, tends to make the training more fun, your enthusiasm is renewed, and you always have the option of losing that weight later on and seeing what happens to you.
Take a look at the line-up from the World's Strongest Man competition. None of them look ready to step onto a bodybuilding stage, but they all look like they're ready to dominate some serious weight, and that extra bodyweight is increasing their joint stability.
It's Time For Strength To Shine
There you are my friends, 6 interesting tidbits about strength. Some may seem more obvious than others but I'd argue they're all important. Which points do you agree with or disagree with? Which one's are new to you? Have you any points of your own?

Brislington
Avon and Somerset Police
Thursday 9 June 2022, 9:28am
Emergency crews are at the scene of the incident in Brislington Credit: ITV West Country
A lorry's roof was ripped off after it hit a railway bridge in the Brislington area of Bristol.
Emergency crews including police and fire rescue services are at the scene in Whitby road on the afternoon of Wednesday 8 June.
The area was closed off while fire crews deal with the incident.
In a statement a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: "We were called at just after 10am today (Wednesday 8 June), after a lorry struck a railway bridge in Whitby Road, Bristol. No-one was injured in the collision.
"The road was closed while the incident was dealt with, and the fire and rescue service assisted with the recovery operation.
"The road was re-opened at just after 1pm."


Following an Ebola outbreak, survivors are vulnerable to stigma, which may make it more difficult for them to reintegrate into society. Forming associations as a support mechanism is one way to help them regain confidence and recover. The tools in this section relate to building organizational capacity within national survivor networks.
Les réseaux nationaux des survivants étaient établi pendant l'épidémie de l'Afrique de l'Ouest de 2014-2016, et avec l'appui des partenaires, ils ont grandi des groupes simples aux organisations officielles. APC a observé des succès et des défis en travaillant avec ces réseaux pendant la duration du programme.
National survivor networks were established during West Africa's 2014-2016 outbreak, and with partner support, they have grown from informal entities to official organizations. APC observed successes and faced challenges in working with these networks during the life of the program.
The CPES program seeks to address challenges faced by Ebola virus disease (EVD) survivors through an integrated partnership approach between Government and development partners which strengthens service delivery to EVD survivors contributing to improving the overall survivors' well-being.
The CPES program has without any doubt responded to the needs to restore Ebola virus disease (EVD) survivors' confidence in a country health system heavily disrupted by the outbreak; and ensured that their special needs were addressed in a timely and efficient manner.
L'épidémie de la maladie à virus Ebola qui a frappé la Guinée en 2014-2015 a été une crise qui avait gravement menacé le système de santé et l'économie du pays. Cette épidémie a été à la base de l'émergence de plusieurs problèmes médicaux, psychosociaux, socio-économiques et professionnels dans le pays.
Le programme ETP&SS vise à atteindre l'objectif de réduire le risque de nouvelles flambées d'Ebola en Guinée en appuyant le programme national de SA-Ceint. Il faut souligner ici que l'objectif principal de la SA-Ceint est de minimiser le risque de la résurgence de la maladie à virus Ebola à travers la surveillance active en ceinture des guéris d'Ebola soutenue par les communautés locales dans lesquelles vivent les guéris d'Ebola.
The assessments confirmed that survivors have sought primary treatment from health facilities when they first get sick, with more than 90 percent of both baseline and endline respondents reporting that they had received treatment at a health facility within the past six months (92.3 and 91.7 percent, respectively).
This brief includes background, interventions, and results of APC's support to the Sierra Leone Association of Ebola Survivors (SLAES). Based on a needs and capacity assessment conducted jointly by APC and PIH in December 2016, the project identified six priority areas for organizational capacity building.
In December 2016, ETP&SS supported the Liberia survivor association meeting and conducted interviews with five Ebola survivors and survivor association leaders.
This short story highlights the work that Guinea's national Ebola survivor network, RENASEG, has accomplished with its 24 member organizations. The network's vice president, Seny Yvonne Loua, explains what her group has done to help create jobs for Ebola survivors.
Dr. Sylvia Blyden; Sierra Leone's Minister of Social Welfare, Gender, and Children's Affairs; discusses the Ebola crisis and the government's response.
Mr. Kabba, President of the Sierra Leone Association of Ebola Survivors (SLAES), talks about the challenges faced by Ebola survivors and shares his vision for the future.
Mr. Hassan, Orphans Coordinator and Spokesman of SLAES, shares the story of losing his family to the Ebola virus during the height of the outbreak.
Dr. Mamadou Oury Diallo, President of Guinea's national network of Ebola survivor associations, Réseau National des Associations de Survivants d'Ebola de Guinée (RENASEG), is an Ebola survivor himself. Dr. Diallo gave up his job as a surgeon to lead the organization and help fellow survivors, who were shunned by their communities and left unemployed after recovering from Ebola. APC and International Medical Corps worked with RENASEG to develop leadership skills and organizational structures of the 23 member associations that represent Ebola survivors in Guinea.
Naomi, an Ebola survivor, is a member of the Montserrado county chapter of the National Ebola Survivors' Network of Liberia (NESNL). She is one of many survivors who are finding hope by empowering fellow survivors to help improve their lives. APC has supported the growth of the Network to empower survivors and enable them to regain their health and become fully integrated with their communities.
The Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) tool is designed to measure the overall capacity of an organization. It assesses capability in five key areas: governance, organizational management, program management, human resources management, and financial management. The results are compiled into an agreed-upon action plan that maps priority areas and actions that the organization will take to address problems and gaps.

Do you ever wonder what's in the beef you buy from the grocery store? What have the cattle been fed or inoculated with? Were they raised humanely? What is the impact on the environment of beef you eat? When you choose Ancilla Beef, you can be assured that you're making the local, environmentally responsible, sustainable, and humane choice.
Ancilla Beef and Grain Farm, a ministry of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ on the campus of The Center at Donaldson, offers naturally raised, hormone and antibiotic free, grass fed and grain finished beef. The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Sisters and Ancilla Beef and Grain Farmers live by the Earth Charter, a belief that the earth, a system of land, water, people, flora, and fauna, will heal when we live in harmony with each other.
To that end, Ancilla Beef cattle roam freely, grazing on grasses in pastures from spring until early winter, when they feast on grains and silage grown by our farmers in Donaldson, respecting both the earth and the animal. Ancilla Beef and Grain Farm has also been recognized as a River Friendly Farm for its sustainable land management practices. By eliminating unnatural, unnecessary and unsustainable practices like overcrowded feedlots, feeding cattle the ground-up remains of other animals, and rampant hormone and antibiotic use, we help build a more just and sustainable 21st century.
Ancilla Beef is the best natural beef, available in roasts, steaks, ground beef and canned beef. It's processed locally and frozen or canned immediately for the ultimate freshness. Taste the difference and reduce your impact on the earth today. Ancilla Beef is available for pick up only at The Center at Donaldson Motherhouse reception, just west of Plymouth.

Averting a K-Shaped Recovery
By Matt Hughes
Spend now to prevent long-term damage.
The Roosevelt Rundown is an email series featuring the Roosevelt Institute's top stories of the week.
Why We Must Spend Now
Per two new studies, the CARES Act saved millions from poverty at the beginning of this pandemic. But with most aid depleted or expired, and no follow-up from Congress, as many as 8 million people have now fallen into poverty since May—and Black people and children have been hit the hardest.
That points to a possible K-shaped recovery, wherein low-income people fall even further behind, while high-income people bounce back quickly.
As Roosevelt Chief Economist Joseph Stiglitz explained on WBUR's Here & Now, such conditions could delay full economic recovery by two years and necessitate a targeted relief program.
Coming soon, a new Roosevelt issue brief by Stiglitz will explain why the COVID-19 crisis is different from other economic downturns and how we can recover and restructure in its wake.
How Public Options Can Increase Equity
At the 23rd annual Milken Institute Global Conference this week, Roosevelt President & CEO Felicia Wong joined GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, Yale Law School's Daniel Markovits, and Ford Foundation President Darren Walker for a session on privilege and the policies we need for greater equity.
"We can talk about public options; we can talk about public options for broadband, we can talk about public options for banking, we can talk about public options for universities. And this isn't just some fantasy idea from the progressive left," said Wong. "These are actually things that we have done in American society in the past that have made huge differences in real people's lives." Watch here.
Reparations across the Americas
"What can be learned from the evolving case for a national reparations program in the United States for Black people whose ancestors were enslaved across the Americas? In light of the Black Lives Matter protests, the time is now for these conversations," Roosevelt Senior Fellow Sandy Darity and folklorist A. Kirsten Mullen write in a British GQ op-ed. "As protests opposing anti-Black police violence and racial inequity have erupted around the globe, the cause of reparative justice has become ever more compelling."

Q: Tips for cleaning up a challenge's answer? Weighted Sum of Digits I've been going through some code challenges. And one struck me in particular. CodeAbbey has a Weighted Sum of Digits challenge. And this was my answer.
# open and read a file, hardcoded numbers, etc. Here is a sample
raw_data = (6, 19, 64, 6527226, 12345146)

for number in raw_data:
    wsd = 0  # Stores sum
    number_list = list(str(number))  # Converts the number into a list.
    for i, k in enumerate(number_list):  # Enumerates each number
        wsd += (int(i+1) * int(k))  # Multiplies and adds product to wsd
    print(wsd)

output >>> 6, 19, 14, 114, 137

Anyone with more experience able to see a better way of getting the sum?

A: If using map:
>>> map(lambda d: sum([ (i+1) * int(v) for i,v in enumerate(list(str(d)))]), raw_data)
[6, 19, 14, 114, 137]

A: for number in raw_data:
    print(sum(i * int(d) for i, d in enumerate(str(number), 1)))

A: This can be done entirely using math operations. Look how the sum is generated, e.g. for 12345146:
                6
              4+6
            1+4+6
          5+1+4+6
        4+5+1+4+6
      3+4+5+1+4+6
    2+3+4+5+1+4+6
+ 1+2+3+4+5+1+4+6

So firs you add last digit, then last and previous, then last, previous and previous etc. until you add all digits. And this can be simply implemented by following algorithm:
raw_data = (6, 19, 64, 6527226, 12345146)
for d in raw_data:
    wsd = 0
    lst = 0 # this is for holding last 'sum row'
    while d > 0:
        lst = lst + d % 10 # append another digit
        wsd += lst
        d //= 10
    #
    print wsd
#

On my computer this is about two times faster than algorithms using enumeration and string conversion (I multiplied raw_data 100000 times, thus getting 500000 elements for comparison).

Justin Theroux had an affair with Emma stone
The actor sparked the rumours about a new affair.
Photo: LEGION-MEDIA
Justin Theroux has puzzled his fans. He spun already,
at least a third affair since February of this year, he announced
the divorce with his wife Jennifer aniston. This time it "caught"
flirting with actress 29-year-old Emma stone.
46-year-old Theroux and stone gave reason to discuss your
relationship once they are in the eyes of the guests, the whole evening flirting friend
other. This scene took place in the new York club Up& Down Club, at a party thrown by Rihanna
after the ball Costume Institute held at the Metropolitan Museum. All night Emma and
Jatni did not depart from each other. They kept whispering and giggling, and Theroux openly flirted with
Stone. And, at the end of the party, they left the event together in the car
Incidentally, this was not the first meeting
Theroux and stone for the last time. Last week paparazzi caught them when
they walked around Manhattan. After which the couple settled at the restaurant Blue Ribbon Sushi, where he spent two
almost until morning. And even earlier — in April — he posted them pictures
his page in the microblog. And although the actor said then that he and Emma just
friends, "just friendly" nature of their relationship farther, the more,
seems doubtful.
Stone is not the only woman in the society which he enjoyed
having a great time. Over the last few months its been seen many times with the 33-year-old actress Aubrey Plaza. And before that, he repeatedly
appeared at parties, where gathered his Bohemian friends, photo artist
Petra Collins, the affair with which allegedly was one of the reasons for his
his divorce from Jennifer aniston.
