Death is a universal truth. Whatever may be the cause and whatever may be age of deceased person, it leaves his dear and near grieving. Though the death is final truth, untimely demise increases the intensity of grief. The expected deaths (like owing to old age and prolonged sickness) are less painful when compared to the grief brought by untimely, sudden death, especially that of a child. It requires real courage for the parents and other family members to cope up with such loss. At times this may lead to development of certain mental illnesses of the parents.
For parents, loss of the child is the cruelest experience of their life. Such a death brings unbearable pain and irreparable loss to the parents. It becomes almost impossible for the parents to cope up with the pain and grief resulted from loss of a child. It is a natural phenomenon and no one should expect them to be the same people, what they were before the loss of their child. The pain and grief resulted from the child's death is not like other medical conditions that could be treated with medicines and recover. Death of child leaves an impact of the life of parents, which at times alters their lifestyle. It is important for the parents to learn how to overcome with this pain and grief. Bereaved parents are made to do what they think as impossible – to overcome the pain and grief brought by death of child and to rebuild life in absence of their beloved child.
The loss of child makes the parents to face experience of intense emotions and frightening. Their emotions and feelings are natural and normal. However, the bereaved parents must understood that the memories of beloved child will be always with them and they will feel the pain as a result of vacuum created due to loss of their son but the intensity of loss will reduce with the passing of time.
Each parent may express his/her emotions in different way and the emotions associated with the loss may be different. Following are some of the most common emotions which are found in the bereaved parents as a result of death of their child.
Grieving period after a child's death is long arduous journey. There are no laid down directions or guidelines which can help parents to reduce their pain and cope up with the loss. Bereaved parents, who get stuck in their grief, may get some relief from the support provided by a counselor or bereaved parent's support group. Number of parents chooses to divert their minds, which helps them in reducing the pain and grief brought by child's death, towards creative endeavors like painting, journaling, gardening etc. The bereaved parents must understood that they not only one suffering such loss and there are number of others with them.

WDFW Initiates Weekly Agency-Wide Employee Furloughs In Response To State Budget Shortfalls Due To COVID-19
With Washington's economy hard-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is planning agency-wide furloughs beginning this week.
While public safety-related needs will remain staffed, most other WDFW services, including customer service, were unavailable Monday, June 29, and will also be unavailable July 10, 17, and 24. Additional furlough days are also expected to occur this fall.
Washington faces a multi-billion-dollar budget shortfall over the next several years as a result of closures and impacts from COVID-19. Gov. Jay Inslee is requiring nearly all state employees to take eight hours of unpaid leave per week, which began the week of June 28.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has already affected nearly every aspect of day-to-day life in Washington, and our hardworking staff have certainly been feeling those impacts, too," WDFW Director Kelly Susewind said.
WDFW enforcement officers will remain on duty, while some other staff will adjust schedules to ensure that essential services – such as port sampling and hatchery functions – continue during the furlough days. However, much of the department will be operating at 80 percent of its normal capacity during the month of July, which will affect many ongoing projects and operations.
"We're working hard to be adaptable, and we appreciate the support of the public and our partners, who we recognize are also facing reduced services and altered project timelines as a result of these furloughs," Susewind said.
In addition to these reductions, the department identified $12.8 million in reductions to the Governor's Office of Financial Management (OFM) for this upcoming fiscal year and is initiating plans for further reductions for next biennium, per recent guidance from OFM.

MN to consider aid-in-dying bill
Daily Editorial Board
Abill circulated in the Minnesota Legislature this session that would give terminally ill patients the choice to end their own lives instead of suffering through pain in their final days.
While it's almost certain this won't become law, the aid-in-dying measure is something all Minnesotans should consider.
Five states in the country have aid-in-dying laws, which allow patients to pass through a series of requirements before being prescribed a barbiturate on which they would overdose and die in peace.
This policy is a controversial one and for good reason. Some say these laws force doctors to act unethically by "falsifying" death certificates. Others oppose the policy on moral or religious grounds.
Still, one fact remains: It's impossible for anyone to truly feel the agony of a terminal condition unless one has experienced exactly that situation. Even then, these ailments range in the levels of pain, discomfort and handicap they instill on people.
While it's extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer, these aid-in-dying policies effectively don't exist for anyone but the patient, which is why most opposing their passage should think twice when considering who their viewpoint really affects.
Death with dignity laws, as these are sometimes known, require terminally ill patients to undergo thorough evaluations before receiving the drugs, which they then choose whether to use.
These safeguards, after being thoroughly considered by doctors, should be enough to prevent anyone from making a decision in vain. While this law is a long way from existence, we hope Minnesotans begin considering its merits now.

Cardinals Mourn Passing Of Owner Bill Bidwill
Remembered for his love of family, faith and the sport of football
Darren Urban
Bill Bidwill, sole owner of the Cardinals since 1972 but a part of the franchise since his father bought the team in 1932, passed away Wednesday. He was 88.
The quiet Bidwill shunned the spotlight, but loved to reminisce and tell a good story, whether it be an anecdote from his time serving in the U.S. Navy or his days growing up around the Cardinals.
Bidwill's wife, Nancy, passed away in August of 2016. He is survived by his five children -- Bill Jr., Michael, Nicole, Patrick and Tim -- and 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
"Our dad passed away today the same way he lived his life: peacefully, with grace, dignity and surrounded by family and loved ones," Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said in a statement. "We are overwhelmed by the support our family has received, not only now but throughout the latest chapter of his life. We are especially grateful to the nurses, doctors and other caregivers whose endless kindness and compassion in recent years have made our dad's life so meaningful.
"Above all else, we will remember him as a man devoted to the three central pillars of his life – his immense faith, his love for his family and his life-long passion for the Cardinals and the sport of football."
Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald was one of a number of players, present and past, who expressed their condolences to the Bidwill family. Fitzgerald, the team's top pick in 2004, had grown close to Bidwill over the years.
"Once he stopped coming by the facility, I would always stop by the holidays or his birthday and see him, make sure to let him know I was thinking about him," Fitzgerald said. "I truly miss the times we shared together."
As a youth, Bidwill served as a ballboy for the then-Chicago Cardinals. He played high school football at Georgetown Prep in Maryland – he was named to that school's athletic Hall of Fame in 2016 -- and was named a Cardinals vice president once he attended Georgetown University.
Bidwill joined the Navy following college before coming to Chicago to help the family's business interests – which included the Cardinals – in 1956. He worked for the franchise full-time beginning in 1960, the year the franchise moved to St. Louis. After Bidwill's mother Violet passed away in 1962, Bill and his brother Charles Jr. – better known as Stormy – inherited the team. Bill purchased Stormy's share of the franchise in 1972, and the Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1988.
Bidwill was an early proponent of front office minority hiring in the NFL. He brought in Bob Wallace to be the team's general counsel and chief contract negotiator in 1981. Bidwill also hired Adele Harris, an African-American woman, to be a public relations assistant in 1971. Harris left three years later to attend college, and when she returned to the club in 1978, she became the first minority female executive in the NFL when she served more than 20 years as the team's director of community relations.
In 2004, Bidwill promoted Rod Graves to General Manager and named Dennis Green head coach, making the Cardinals the first franchise with minorities in both posts at the same time.
In 2010, Bidwill was honored with the Tank Younger Award – signifying an NFL official who has made an impact in minority hiring – from the Fritz Pollard Alliance. Dedicated to philanthropy (often without any fanfare), Bidwill supported multiple charities throughout his time as Cardinals' owner, including the creation of Cardinals Charities, the team's philanthropic arm dedicated to supporting worthy Arizona causes.
Bidwill helped bring Super Bowl XXX to Arizona in 1996, the first of three Super Bowls played in the state thus far, and worked with son Michael to shepherd the construction of State Farm Stadium, which opened in 2006.

"Bill Bidwill was part of the NFL family his entire life, starting from his days as a ball boy through his time as an owner," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Although never one to seek the spotlight, Bill had an incredible sense of humor and he made extraordinary contributions to the NFL. Bill's vision brought the Cardinals, the NFL and multiple Super Bowls to Arizona. He was a leader in embracing diversity and employed the first African American female executive, and the first African American general manager and head coach tandem. We extend our condolences to Bill's family and the Cardinals organization, which along with his faith, meant so much to him."
On the field, the Cardinals made an amazing playoff push in 1998 to reach the postseason for the first time since moving to Arizona. In 2008, the Cardinals won the NFC Championship and played in the Super Bowl for the first time, losing a heartbreaker, 27-23, to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team also reached the NFC Championship game in 2015.
"My greatest memories of Mr. B were when he would come join us for lunch after practice," former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner said. "Sometimes he'd just walk through. Other times he'd take a seat, or if he was on his own I'd seek him out and ask him questions and talk to him and ask him to share stories with me. He loved sharing old stories about football and about the organization. That was fun.
"I felt like in that 2008 (Super Bowl) run, I felt like he was more a part of things than before or even a little after. He understood how special that turning of the corner was. To get to know him not just as the owner of the team but as an individual and I got to hear him through his voice. I enjoyed that."

In the past few weeks, I had been engrossed with some new areas of research and reading. It kept me away from this blog, I liked the knock knock comment it made me smile. I have always been fascinated every time I learn something new. The child in us always gets excited when we learn something new and in order to keep that child alive, I enjoy exploring new things.
I have always been fascinated with the area of behavioral economics and finance. Unlike traditional finance and economics, it looks at the psychological aspects and doesn't consider human beings to simply being numbers. Something I have always noted and experienced personally.
One interesting book I finished reading (listening rather since it was an audio book) was Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. There are several interesting experiments that show us how not only all of us are irrational, but very predictably irrational.
One very interesting concept was how we tend to be irrational about finances and money. Let us say you were to buy a kilo of tomatoes and the shopkeeper told you will have to pay Rs. 30 for a kilo. Now you know that if you walk for 10 minutes you can get the same tomatoes for Rs. 15 at another store, let us say in bulk at Food Bazaar, would you walk for 10 minutes?
Most people questioned said they would walk for 10 minutes to save Rs. 15. Probably you would too.
Now let us say in the next case you had gone to buy a nice luxurious Raymond full suit. It was available for Rs. 10,000. You came to know that if you walk for an additional 10 minutes the same suit was available in another store for Rs. 9985. Basically it was available Rs. 15 cheaper. Would you walk that distance to get the discount?
Most people questioned in this instance refused to walk an additional 10 minutes to save Rs. 15 on their Rs. 10,000 suit.
But if you think rationally, both cases have a similar impact to your net worth. If you walk for an additional 10 minutes in both cases you will save Rs. 15. Yet people anchor their decision on the larger price they are paying. This is predictably irrational and makes no sense if you observe from an independent view.
The same things happen a lot with a lot of people. When people are buying a car for Rs. 10 lakhs they don't mind spending a lakh extra on leather seats. But at home, they might think twice before spending that much on their sofas. Based on such experiments and observations, we can become better investors and learn a lot more about how humans behave.
Human beings are truly exciting because of such things. Irrationalities – specially the predictable ones can be used to capitalize on opportunities and mistakes which might be made by the masses.
Every time we learn something new it makes us realize how little we know, and how vast this universe is. Yet, sometimes so many of us get caught up in things that are extremely petty and irrelevant. Smile at what might seem to trouble you today, it really won't matter that much soon.
Go out there and explore the universes! As a fellow traveler I would suggest you pay a visit to authors like Dan in this journey.
Keep smiling, learning and having fun!
Welcome back..... Does the book say about the % of savings is co-related? If you look the example of tomato it is 50% off other one a fraction%. Also when it comes to tomatoes.. it is something which u consume daily.... where as u buy a sofa or suit may be once in 5 years .. so see that difference.... what is ur observation?
Welcome back. I used to login to your blog daily just to check thoughts of wisdom and now more than 1.5 months you have written something for us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The most difficult part of investing is managing our emotions and its really challenging for all of us.
Thanks for this story. Could you please list a set a books on this blog.
I have been reading your blogs for about 2-3years now and enjoy them always. In this blog, I would like to say why most people would go the extra 10mins to buy tomatoes Rs15 cheaper is because its a daily commodity. They need to to buy it atleast every week. The same person would not be buying a Raymond Full Suit every week. So I think that makes a lot of sense. If I had to buy my tomatoes once a year or once a life time, i would not walk tht 10mins. But i would surely walk tht 10 mins if I have to buy it every so often.
@Cyril: What Yogesh wanted to point out here is the difference b/w rational and irrational thinking. At One instance you are trying to save 15 INR on the other instance you don't bother. Tomato is a daily consumable commodity but there are N number of other instances in our life wherein we just stop thinking about saving those 15 INR. We possess Irrational thinking(without much understanding). People spending lot of money on their car seat covers which is not of much use but they ignore to spend the money on their sofa set which is being used by more than their car seat covers. This is all because we never pay attention on our thinking patterns. In Yogesh's example 15 INR means absolute 15 INR saving in both the cases and don't forgot this is a blog related to Investment and saving so thought should be to invest wisely or save wisely. Would you pay 15 INR more for SBI stock if you can get it 15 rupee cheaper price or would you like to save the same amount for any mid cap stock of lesser value!! Choice is yours!
1. I am not buying 1 stock on SBI, I'll take some good number when I purchase and over long run this 15 rs will not affect that much on ur return unless I go and buy SBI stock worth crores of Rs.
Point is in rational/irrational behavior... the value of the material u get for the money is what you compare to decide what to do.... If tomato costs 5000rs/Kg.. 15 rs doesn't matter to me.. I guess Yogesh also tries to show that point only.
I am regular reader of your Blogs and have also read both of your Books, The Happionaire Way and Cash the Crash.
I truely appreciate the way you thought and write and the examples which you give for better understanding.
I was too waiting for your Blog as have not got any updates from you for quite some time.
I red this Blog, I am sure with this story of Saving Rs 15 in both the situation, you are trying to say some thing, but I am unable to understand as where and how this is applicable in investing and how this concept can be used in investing.
I will appreciate if you can explain this as how we can use this in investing.
I totally share your (and Dan's) prespective on rational and irrational thinking. Let me extend this logic for another set of people who would while buying a tomato for Rs 40 think that why crib for Rs 15 when we do not bother about it while eating out every other day!! Such people would end up paying more... always!! Some of us might think of being rational in our thought as being stingy but that's the crux of Dan's book.
My tomatoes example was random. I didn't think about the aspect that since people buy tomatoes regularly they will think differently as compared to a suit which is not purchased everyday. Let us replace tomatoes with spoons - most people will still behave in the same. way. It is illogical to compare in terms of percentage here, but still our mind does that.
In the stock market too, many times our mind thinks that a Rs. 5 stock is cheaper than a Rs. 50 stock. It might be in price, but is it in terms of value? Just a few thoughts that can get our mind to think.

View Infographic: How Virtual Patching Helps Protect Enterprises
As an enterprise's online infrastructures become more complex — from their decentralization to the adoption of cloud, mobile, and internet-of-things (IoT) technologies — patch management has become an even more time-consuming and resource-intensive task.
However, delaying or deferring the application of patches can be risky. The Equifax data breach in 2017 is an example of how risky it can get. The incident, which exposed millions of its customers' personally identifiable information, was ultimately attributed to a web application vulnerability that the organization failed to patch. When the dust settled, Equifax estimated that the incident cost up to US$439 million in financial losses, besides the £500,000 (US$660,000) fine issued by the U.K.'s Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
[Trend Micro Annual Security Roundup: Notable Vulnerabilities Disclosed and Exploited in 2018]
What makes patching a challenge for enterprises?
Here are some of the challenges that organizations face when implementing a vulnerability and patch management policy:
Business continuity. While regularly installing updates is a good practice, many organizations find the patching process so slow, disruptive, and costly that some opt to postpone it (or do away with it altogether) to avoid operational downtime.
Amount of vulnerabilities to patch. This is especially true for organizations that constantly upgrade their IT infrastructures, as they have to patch an increasing number of vulnerabilities. Based on our data, which included input from more than 3,500 independent researchers who contribute to our Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) program, discovered and reported vulnerabilities increased by 34% from 2017 to 2018.
Limited visibility. Larger online infrastructures involve more complex update processes. This could be further complicated by a fragmented IT infrastructure, usually composed of different operating system or application versions, that are sometimes also distributed geographically.
Frequency of patch cycles. This can make patching difficult to manage efficiently, especially when it's hard to determine which vulnerabilities are the most relevant or critical.
Legacy and unpatchable systems. Patches may no longer be issued to systems and applications that have already reached their end of life or support, even if they're still used to run mission-critical operations. Embedded systems, like those in point-of-sale terminals, IoT devices, and industrial control systems, often have software or components that cannot be patched.

What happens to unpatched IT infrastructures?
Once a vulnerability is disclosed, reported, or discovered, it is a race against time for enterprises. For cybercriminals and threat actors, it's an opportunity. An average organization, for instance, reportedly takes around 69 days to patch a critical vulnerability in its application. Businesses in the U.K. took an average of 60 days to determine that they've been breached.
This window of exposure leaves unpatched systems susceptible to threats. When an official patch for a content management framework vulnerability was released in July 2018, attackers started exploiting the flaw to deliver cryptocurrency-mining malware within five hours. In April 2019, a day before the vendor provider patched a zero-day vulnerability in its application server, cybercriminals actively exploited it to install ransomware.
The 2018 threat landscape saw attackers increasingly using exploits such as Dirty COW and EternalBlue for known and already-patched security flaws. In fact, 57% of surveyed organizations that suffered data breaches in 2016 and 2017 reported that the breaches were caused by a known vulnerability for which a patch was already available.

How does virtual patching help?
Virtual patching — or vulnerability shielding — acts as a safety measure against threats that exploit known and unknown vulnerabilities. Virtual patching works by implementing layers of security policies and rules that prevent and intercept an exploit from taking network paths to and from a vulnerability.
A good virtual patching solution should be multilayered. This includes capabilities that inspect and block malicious activity from business-critical traffic; detect and prevent intrusions; thwart attacks on web-facing applications; and adaptably deploy on physical, virtual, or cloud environments.
Here's how virtual patching augments an organization's existing security technologies as well as vulnerability and patch management policies:
Buys additional time. Virtual patching gives security teams the time needed to assess the vulnerability and test and apply the necessary and permanent patches. For in-house applications, virtual patching provides time for developers and programmers to fix flaws in their code.
Avoids unnecessary downtime. Virtual patching provides enterprises more freedom to enforce their patch management policies on their own schedule. This mitigates the potential revenue loss caused by unplanned or superfluous disruptions in business operations.
Improves regulatory compliance. Virtual patching helps organizations meet timeliness requirements, such as those imposed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Payment Card Industry (PCI).
Provides an additional layer of security. Virtual patching provides security controls to components in the IT infrastructures for which patches are no longer issued (e.g., legacy systems and end-of-support OSs like Windows Server 2008) or are prohibitively costly to patch.
Provides flexibility. Virtual patching reduces the need to roll out workarounds or emergency patches. It eases the task, for instance, of gauging specific points in the network that require patching (or if a patch needs to be applied to all systems).

John R. Anderson
Carnegie Mellon University | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Computer and Cognitive Science
Award:
Benjamin Franklin Medal
For the development of the first large-scale computational theory of the process by which humans perceive, learn and reason, and its application to computer tutoring systems.
Ever since Einstein, physicists have sought a Theory of Everything, an ultimate explanation of how the Universe works. Ever since Freud, however, few psychologists and neuroscientists have tried to develop a comparable universal theory to explain the human mind, how and why people think and behave the way they do. Most were content to focus on specific aspects of behavior rather than the big picture, perhaps believing that such an overall theory of the mind could ever be found. John R. Anderson has dedicated his life to proving otherwise. With his hugely influential ACT-R theory, he has created the most comprehensive and cohesive cognitive theory yet developed.
For much of their history, psychology and the scientific study of the mind were considered "soft" disciplines, lacking the rigid empirical basis of the older "hard" sciences such as physics and chemistry. That began to change when advances in neuroscience and computer science made it possible to more directly understand the physical structure and workings of the brain. Throughout his career, Anderson has used these advances as a foundation upon which to construct an increasingly more sophisticated series of theories to model how human beings think and act. But he is more than simply a theoretician. He has extended his ideas into practical applications that have not only advanced the work of his fellow scientists but enhanced the education of thousands of students.
Born in Vancouver in 1947, Anderson did his undergraduate work at the University of British Columbia before moving on to Stanford to obtain his Ph.D. in Psychology in 1972. He taught at Yale for several years and in 1978 joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University, where his is now the R. K. Mellon University Professor of Psychology and Computer Science. With his doctoral advisor Gordon Bower, he detailed the HAM theory in the 1973 book Human Associative Memory, a work that integrated much previous research on memory into new mathematical models. Then, building on this work and that of others, including Franklin Institute Medalist Allen Newell and his SOAR concepts, Anderson developed the first version of the ACT (Adaptive Control of Thought) theory. He presented the theory in its fullest form in his seminal 1983 book The Architecture of Cognition, which prompted Allen Newell to proclaim ACT "the first unified theory of cognition" and the standard to which all others should be compared.
Scientists use cognitive structures such as ACT both to explain the mind and to simulate its workings with computer models. Anderson's ACT was immediately and enthusiastically embraced by those within the cognitive science community. But Anderson was not satisfied merely with ivory tower successes or laboratory confirmation of ACT. Searching for ways to apply ACT to solve practical problems, he turned to developing educational applications. He seized upon the concept of intelligent tutoring systems from contemporary AI (artificial intelligence) work as a perfect arena to test ACT concepts in the real world.
Working with colleagues including his former student Ken Koedinger, Anderson created ACT-based computer tutoring systems that used interactive techniques to teach math and computer programming. Early trials proved that students using these systems learned the material much faster and attained better grades than other students limited to traditional textbook methods. Anderson expanded the promise of these successes into a collaborative program with the Pittsburgh public school system, with tutoring software for algebra courses that could run on personal computers available to the schools. The Cognitive Tutor Algebra course was wildly successful and was soon embraced by other schools. Eventually a dedicated company, Carnegie Learning, was founded to market the cognitive tutoring software to school systems nationwide, and at present, Anderson's intelligent, interactive tutors are being used by half a million students in almost 2600 schools.
The development of the tutoring systems and the real-world data provided by their use, along with further research by Anderson and others involving new techniques such as functional MRI studies, have also led to further refinements of ACT, which is now known as ACT-R (Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational). Anderson's most recent book, How Can the Human Mind Occur in the Physical Universe? provides the latest synthesis and expression of ACT-R and Anderson's groundbreaking work, and its title perhaps best summarizes the main question that has driven this tireless, innovative scientist throughout his career. He continues to strive for ever more complete and elegant answers.for that elusive "Theory of Everything" for the human mind.

Women Entrepreneurs in Nigeria: Where Is the Mass Media?

Source Title: Gender Economics: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice
For ages, the African culture has limited the activities of women and conditioned, to a large extent, the mentality of most African countries about the place and positioning of women in the society. The mass media have been used as a tool in this. Promoting the abilities and achievements of women in the society is one of the important roles of the media in reducing the rate of gender discrimination. These achievements are becoming noticeable in politics and entrepreneurship; thus, setting a standard for other women in the society to build on. This chapter will explore the role of the media in promoting the woman entrepreneur in Nigeria. The study employed the survey research method for data gathering. Findings showed that women have equal opportunity to grow their businesses. Data shows that this growth is slow as there are no significant differences between respondents who agree or disagree with the availability of enabling environment for women to grow their business as compared to their male counterpart. The study recommends that the mass media need to give more voice to their businesses and activities to pave way and encourage the younger women in the society.
Reeve and Baden (2000) describes gender discrimination as the systematic, unfavourable treatment of individuals on the basis of their gender, which denies them their rights, opportunities or resources." Despite the stand of the Nigerian constitution on equality amongst male and female, some Nigerian cultures have constituted a barrier to realising this constitutional provision for gender equality. Explaining further, Anaeme, (2012, p. 1) affirms that "gender discrimination is as old as human history". Socially, "sexual differences have been used to justify cultures in which one sex or the other has been restricted to considerably inferior and secondary roles." Gender equality when discussed by researchers usually draws attention to the African and Asian continent. Gender issues most times have always been about the women: "Female characters devote their primary energy to improving their appearance and taking care of homes and people" (Wood, 1994, p. 32, Sarkar, 2015). Many researchers have supported this argument. (Anaeme, 2012; Kufin & Sinha, 2013). However, in many countries, domestic roles and roles concerning child care remains highly gender specific.
However, the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (42) stresses that there should be "freedom from discrimination on the grounds of ethnic group, origin, religion, circumstance of birth, disability or political opinion." Despite the constitutional provision, gender discrimination is still identified in Nigeria with both sexes but it is more prominent among women. According to the Nigeria Master Web Citizen News (2012), records show that of the 134 countries in the Equality index, Nigeria ranks 118. While stressing that women need to perform equal roles in the society to aid development, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, (2014), during the International women's day titled "equality for women is progress for all" argued that "countries with more gender equality have better economic growth. Companies with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements that include women are more durable. Parliaments with more women enact more legislation on key social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child support." Analysing the situation further, the World Bank (2005) believes that "Nigeria is a highly patriarchal society, where men dominate all spheres of women's lives.
Furthermore, Moemeka (2000) describes the media as the "reality media of mass information", because, according to him, "they are second to none in the ability to disseminate information far and fast- to reach millions of people in different parts of the world at virtually "no time". This is how effective media messages can be, in Nigeria and across the globe. In recent times, the mass media have been used to promote women achievements in Nigeria especially in the area of politics.
As the participation of women continue to increase in Nigeria politics, most studies (Adenle & Oso, 2014; Ajaji, 2014; Mojaye, 2011) on gender discrimination have focused on women in politics and the role of different forms of mass media in promoting the activities of these women. To determine and compare media coverage of both genders in Nigeria by the various media, a research was carried out by the Institute for Media and Society, titled 'Media Coverage of Women Politicians in the 2011 Elections in Nigeria'. The research compared the level of coverage of both genders in Nigerian television, radio and newspapers during election campaign. Result shows that male participants in the elections were more visible in the media than the female participants. The visibility of male aspirants in the media during the campaigns was not just higher than that of female aspirants; it was extremely higher (Institute for Media and Society, 2011). This study through survey, takes a step further to know the audience's view on the promotion of women entrepreneurs in the Nigerian mass media.


I've had a number of people ask me for the deck I presented last week, at the TechEd EMEA 2008 Developers conference in Barcelona. The session was titled: Distributed Embedded Systems – The Next Big Developer Opportunity! I've uploaded it to Windows Live SkyDrive.
A lot of big changes have taken place in my "world" over the past 6 months, and I'm using this post to formally kick-off a new chapter in my life (and in this blog). From Live to Embedded. Once again, I've taken on a new focus. I'm working on an initiative around "distributed embedded systems"….

Support of Dependents
The applicant sought a lump sum of $500,000 or the monthly sum of $2,000. The applicant and the deceased were married in 1958 and had two children. They separated in 1973 and divorced in 1975. No spousal or child support order was made at the time nor was monthly spousal support ever paid by the deceased to the applicant. The applicant did receive a property settlement in the form of title to an income property.
In 2003, the applicant learned through her children that the deceased had cancer. She sent him a card and pointed out that she was having financial difficulties. The deceased contacted her and over the next five years up to his death in 2008, he provided her with $37,000 in cash. He also provided her with $124,000 to purchase a life lease in a retirement home and purchased an annuity for her that would provide her with $761 per month for the rest of her life.
It was held that the application was dismissed. The definition of "spouse" in the Act made the applicant a dependant of the deceased. The deceased was providing support for the applicant even though he had no obligation in law to do so. The applicant failed to prove a need to be granted relief from the estate. She also failed to provide any credible evidence as to her assets and means. The result of the provisions the deceased made for the applicant was to provide her with shelter in the home of her choice for the rest of her life and an annual income for the rest of her life. Those provisions were adequate for the applicant's proper support.

Everybody and their moms are talking about the 1.2 update, and I'm no exception. I am glad the official update is finally out since I plan to generate a new map for my server and wanted the jungle biome upgrade in there.
There's just something that annoys me about these new biomes despite how cool they are. I feel that every time an update with a new biome is released, our server-map suddenly lacks something and we should start over. The last time we re-booted, our map suddenly lacked the snow biome entirely. Unfortunately by the time the next updatefixed that, we had already explored a lot of the map and needed to go reeeally far to find snow. Some time later, it suddenly snowed in a perfectly square area behind a temple of mine, making it look like I brought out the snow cannons!
Another issue with new biomes and map generator parametres is that they appear everywhere. I don't particularly like swamps – they look pretty..ish, but when building awesome structures they kinda get in the way. Maybe I need to get into the map editor business after all. All in all, however, I do love the jungles, the ocelots and the whole bunch of improvements and am glad Mojang is not just leaving MC as it is but continue to fuel it with new ideas. Now we can even look forward to the Bukkit crew implementing that mod system everybody (well, every modder) is waiting for.
I like the edges on this one! Every block reminds me of these soft, padded slabs you can find on children's playgrounds. No wonder: The creator says it was inspired by Terraria. I think the colourful comic style fits Minecraft perfectly, so thumbs up, ACallander & seanfletchr!

IN SEARCH OF A NEANDERTAL! A crew of younger archaeologists continued their analysis in Kozja and Mala pećina close to Majdanpek!
By Stan Harris Last updated Jun 12, 2021
During the past year, more precisely in September, a team of young researchers found and collected at these still insufficiently known and unexplored sites important evidence that indicates the life of non-Nadertals in this area and their encounter with modern man 40 thousand years ago.
"During the research, we started excavating and came across very important and important artifacts that indicate the life of prehistoric people in this area. Of particular interest is that in one cave we found tools used by Neanderthals and in another used by modern humans, ie homosapiens. We have encountered, not only Paleolithic layers, but also late periods that testify to copper metallurgy in the period from 3,900 to 3,700 BC.
Traces of the metallurgical process were found, which is especially interesting, because Kozija and Mala pećina are located near Rudna Glava, the former oldest mining center in Southeast Europe, so it is assumed that ores from that mine were used at that time.
Last year, we found the remains of a Neanderthal in the Goat Cave, that is, the mandible (jaw), which is a real rarity today, because there are very few of them, says archaeologist Professor Dušan Mihajlović for Informer.

Continued research, Neanderthal in focus
Thanks to this discovery, young archaeologists have continued to explore these areas these days. Exactly found rarities from that period, Neanderthal remains, are now especially in the focus of their interests.
First of all, the discovery of the parts of the jaw of the cave bear, led them to further search for the knowledge of the context of this very important discovery. Is it about the grave, about the place of suffering of the then prehistoric man, what is the period of keeping modern man in another Little Cave in question, what were they hunting then, are there traces of art from that time and everything else related to that time.

At present he's Saint Ignatius, as a result of he was thrown…
Therefore, the expectations are that the next period of twenty days will be of great importance, in order to eventually discover some more sights that are hidden in the caves of Majdanpek municipality, which are not sufficiently known to the public and therefore remained preserved and undestroyed.
"I believe that these caves, which are classified as very interesting and important archeological sites in this part of Eastern Serbia, will soon be protected. This is a beautiful end and all the conditions regarding the configuration of the terrain exist to be presented to the general public.
For this reason, our work is of great importance, because these two sites with their prehistoric landmarks, according to what we have already found and what we hope to discover in the next three weeks, indicated the existence of indications that it will year to be quite enough to offer people who are interested in that ancient past.
In the deep past the center of the world
This area currently seems hidden and somewhat unknown, however, for some reason in the deep past it was the center of the world. Key innovations in terms of civilization have taken place here. In this area, the earliest copper metallurgy is recorded, Lepenski Vir, which is classified as a world phenomenon.
V.Jović
In a diameter of only 50 kilometers, there are the most important innovations that were recorded in early prehistory, and on the other hand, this is currently a somewhat dead and at first glance interesting area for no one. What we are currently working on is to create conditions and provide an opportunity to point out to the people the great importance of this area with knowledge and evidence about the former life in these prehistoric sites, points out Professor Mihajlović.
This year's research is also being conducted within a project that is financially supported by the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Government of the Republic of Serbia with 700 thousand dinars. Good content was achieved with the Museum Institution in Majdanpek and what is being worked on intensively to protect this area in the foreseeable future and with a good presentation to the public, to show important and important sights of this kind, in the area of Majdanpek municipality.

Q: Having trouble accessing properties of a javascript return function function getCurrentUIValues() {
  return {
    amount: +(document.getElementById("loan-amount").value),
    years: +(document.getElementById("loan-years").value),
    rate: +(document.getElementById("loan-rate").value),
  }
}

I am trying to access the property values by;
getCurrentUIValues.amount;
This gives me undefined even with the "loan-amount" field holding a value e.g 5000
I am working with a simple loan calculator and trying to grab user input. I cannot change the way the code is written as I want to understand how to do it this way and its part of the exercise for school. However I am always getting undefined. Any help would be appreciated.

A: You're trying to access the property on the function itself.
You need to access the property on the return value you get when you call the function.
getCurrentUIValues().amount;

Q: how to filter an array comparing with other js Asking for improved solution
Hi, I have 2 arrays and I want to filter one with the only value presented in the other.
i.e.
data1 = [
    {
        "c_id": 90,
        "c_name": "Test 1",
    },
    {
        "c_id": 95,
        "c_name": "Test 2",
    },
    {
        "c_id": 93,
        "c_name": "Test 3",
    }
]

data2 = [
    {
        "id": 92,
        "name": "Test 4",
        "rates": []
    },
    {
        "id": 90,
        "name": "Test 1",
        "rates": []
    },
    {
        "id": 95,
        "name": "Test 2",
        "rates": []
    },
    {
        "id": 93,
        "name": "Test 3",
        "rates": []
    },
]

From the above array, I want to filter data2 with only the id presented in the data1.
I have the below code
let c = []
data1.filter(b => {
  if (data2.find(a => a.id == b.c_id)) {
    c.push(data2.find(a => a.id == b.c_id))
  }
})
console.log(c)

Which correctly. Please anyone can tell is there any improved solution for it?

A: You can create a set of data1 ids and use Array.filter to filter out the id which is present in the set.

const data1 = [
  {
    c_id: 90,
    c_name: "Test 1",
  },
  {
    c_id: 95,
    c_name: "Test 2",
  },
  {
    c_id: 93,
    c_name: "Test 3",
  },
];

const data2 = [
  {
    id: 92,
    name: "Test 4",
    rates: [],
  },
  {
    id: 90,
    name: "Test 1",
    rates: [],
  },
  {
    id: 95,
    name: "Test 2",
    rates: [],
  },
  {
    id: 93,
    name: "Test 3",
    rates: [],
  },
];

const set = new Set(data1.map((item) => item.c_id));
const result = data2.filter((item) => set.has(item.id));
console.log(result);

I have learned that there is not another subject that can grab your attention more than a story about a "real life individual." Therefore, when our school year was close to being wrapped up and vacation was on the horizon, I began to think about what locations our family could explore to make all that we learned come to life. We were headed to Virginia to visit family, so my possibilities were limitless.
The obvious answer would have been Mt. Vernon. My son adores stories about General George Washington leading his men to victory over the British. However, as I looked at all that Virginia had to offer, I focused my attention on the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Montpelier, the home of former President James Madison.
I have to admit that in our two-year study of the United States, James Madison was a subject we had yet to cover. We may have discussed his work as Secretary of State for President Jefferson, but it would have been brief. I could not, however, shake this urge to see Madison's home. I am very thankful that I chose to satisfy my curiosity about James Madison, and I urge you to visit Montpelier. The scenery is breathtaking. The house is beautiful. The hands-on learning is wonderful for children. James Madison was an intriguing person, and it was a pleasure to learn about his life and career.
James Madison was raised at Montpelier. Madison's grandfather, Ambrose Madison, and his brother-in-law, Thomas Chew, were deeded the land. In order to receive the final title to it, Madison had to clear the land and build a home there within three years. Twenty-eight short years later, James Madison, Jr. was born—the first of twelve children.
As the Madison household grew, James Madison, Sr. built another house a half-mile away from Ambrose's original home. The young Madison family moved in when James, Jr. was just 9 years old. It would be this same home place where he would bring his bride, Dolley, and where he would retire, die, and be buried. James Madison did add on to the house after his marriage to Dolley and eventually had wings added to it as well.
Montpelier remained with Dolley after her husband's death until financial hardships led her to sell it. The estate was eventually purchased by William duPont in 1901. William duPont doubled the size of Madison's home, making it one of the largest homes in Orange County, Virginia. The project included raising the wings up a level and building two large additions at the back of the house. The duPonts also dramatically changed the floor plan, creating two new stairways, as well as servants' quarters out of the attic space.
Montpelier remained in the duPont family for more than eighty years. Marion duPont Scott was the last duPont to own it. In keeping with her will, Montpelier was transferred to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1984.
If you visit Montpelier today, you will see it just as it was so many years ago. The duPonts' additions and changes have been removed. The tedious process of researching the Montpelier that James and Dolley Madison resided in began in 2003, and the architectural restoration was deemed complete in 2008. The Montpelier Foundation is currently working on accumulating furnishings for the home. Curators are hard at work trying to discover how each room was used, learning how it may have been decorated, and locating the furnishings. Sadly, so many items were sold during Dolley's financial woes that finding and verifying these precious items is a slow process.
It is interesting that so little is said about James Madison in U.S. history books. His peers referred to him as the "Father of the Constitution" and yet, when we think of our Founding Fathers, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, or John Adams comes to mind.
James Madison's political career began as little as five years after he graduated from Princeton University. He served on committees that helped shape the first Constitution of Virginia and the Virginia Declaration of Rights. He also served in the Virginia House of Delegates and the Continental Congress. His efforts and name were well known in the political arena. Therefore, upon arriving in Philadelphia in 1787 for the Constitutional Convention, his thoughts and opinions were duly noted.
Shortly after independence from the British, our young nation struggled to implement the Articles of Confederation. Congress was supposed to be in charge of the Union, yet it had not been given enough power. Individual states were printing their own money. Congress could not get the states to help pay off the debt incurred during the war. So Madison began studying governments from around the world, particularly noting why certain governments failed.
Slowly a plan known as the "Virginia Plan" took shape. Madison strongly believed that our nation's government should begin "with the people." Madison also laid out a plan that detailed a government with three branches: legislative, judicial and national. Not all of his ideas were well received, such as the proposal that larger states be more powerful than smaller states, but through the course of many arguments and much time, many of Madison's ideas were used within the U.S. Constitution.
In 1794, James Madison was introduced to a Quaker widow, Dolley Payne Todd. Their courtship was brief, lasting only a few short months, but their marriage lasted forty-one years. Dolley was a perfect match for James. She was a wonderful hostess, she was savvy about political issues, and she was a trendsetter—both in fashion and in defining the role of "First Lady."
James Madison went on to become Secretary of State to President Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wanted to expand the Union, and it fell into the hands of Madison to negotiate westward expansion. At the conclusion of Jefferson's two terms, James Madison became the nation's fourth President. He led our nation during the War of 1812, which saw the burning of the U.S. Capitol and the White House. Before he left office. James Madison was able to see the war end and our nation become strengthened both economically and in the eyes of the world.
The Madisons returned to Montpelier at the conclusion of James Madison's Presidency, but he remained active in the political arena throughout his life. On June 28, 1836, James Madison died in his home at the age of 85. A visit to Montpelier is definitely well worth the investment to do so, even if you are well educated about the "Father of the Constitution."
There is so much to do and see at Montpelier! For families with young children, there are several opportunities to enjoy hands-on experiences.

If you are not familiar with DraftKings and their NFL tournaments each week then this post won't really matter to you.
For the first 9 weeks of the year DraftKings has offered a $27 tournament with a $1,000,000 1st place prize and a total prize pool of $2.5 million. This tournament had 92.4k available entries. The 1st week of the season they sold out. They have not sold out since then.
On week 10 they tried increasing the buy in to $40 and having a smaller number of entries, 71.5k.
The higher entry cost of $40 led them to only having 52895 paid entries and just under 20k from the amount of seats they need/wanted to sell.
Since this is a guaranteed tourney, it runs and is paid out regardless of how many players sign up and pay to play.
DraftKings is going back to the $27 entry.
See why DraftKings is one of my favorite fantasy football sites in their review.
