DePuy Spine launches new system for neuromuscular scoliosis
On 6 December, DePuy Spine announced the launch of the Expedium Neuromuscular system, a new modular system of pre-contoured rods and proximal connectors, open and closed iliac screw designs and wires, designed to help surgeons address spinal and pelvic deformity in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis.
"Surgery for neuromuscular scoliosis is very challenging in that most cases require correction of a coronal, sagittal and axial deformity, including pelvic obliquity. This deformity can occur in patients with little or no muscle tone or in those with severe muscle tone and spasticity due to diseases like muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy," said Randal R Betz, a pediatric orthopaedic spine surgeon from Philadelphia, USA. "The Expedium Neuromuscular system was designed with these patients in mind."
According to the Scoliosis Research Society, incidence of neuromuscular scoliosis ranges from 25% in people with cerebral palsy to 90% in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Surgery is performed in these patients to prevent further curve progression, improve sitting balance and tolerance, reduce pain and improve quality of life.
"The modularity of the Expedium Neuromuscular system allows for easy fixation to the pelvis without the need for intra-operative modification of implants or complex rod bending. It also allows for the cantilever correction of severe pelvic obliquity and spinal deformity that was previously corrected with the unit rod," said Kirk Dabney, orthopaedic surgeon and associate director of the Cerebral Palsy Program at the Alfred I. duPont Institute in Wilmington, Delaware, USA.

TIFF 2013: Benedict Cumberbatch and the Curious Case of the Auburn Hair
**Older, but funny article…
Benedict Cumberbatch talks TIFF 'It Boy' status, playing Julian Assange and his real hair color.
The auburn-haired Benedict Cumberbatch was happy to be an "It Boy" at the Toronto International Film Festival and grateful for his roles in The Fifth Estate, 12 Years a Slave and August: Osage County.
Benedict Cumberbatch arrives nearly an hour late for our scheduled interview during TIFF, but then we should have expected this, shouldn't we?
He was, after all, extremely busy as the "It Boy" of TIFF 2013, appearing in three of the most talked-about films at the fest: gala opener The Fifth Estate, and Oscar hopefuls 12 Years a Slave and August: Osage County.
Cumberbatch, 37, shared TIFF "It Boy" status with fellow British actor Daniel Radcliffe, who also had three films at the fest. The Star christened the pair "Brit Boys" in a headline.
"I'm very flattered by that," Cumberbatch says. "Just because I've got 10 years on Daniel. I'd be a Brit Boy any time you'd like."
Being an It Boy or Brit Boy comes with important duties big and small, it seems. Cumberbatch had barely seated himself at the chair and side table he was using for his Toronto interviews (which, oddly, resembled a home rec-room version of the Enterprise bridge on Star Trek) when a man came out of nowhere carrying a plain white dinner plate.
He wanted Cumberbatch to autograph it with black marker, which the actor cheerfully did.
But to get back to why it should come as no surprise that Cumberbatch was so late for his interview, we need to recall something he told The Independent newspaper in 2008.
Asked to finish the sentence, "A phrase I use far too often is . . . " he replied: "'Sorry I'm late!' I'm a terrible timekeeper."
He said this back when he was getting good notices for having portrayed physicist Stephen Hawking in the BBC drama Hawking. It was still some time before his current superstardom playing Sherlock Holmes in the BBC-TV series Sherlock, launched in 2010, and his more recent acclaim as the super villain in Star Trek Into Darkness and the scorching dragon Smaug in the coming The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
And that's only a fraction of his current projects, with rumors of a Star Wars prequel/sequel in the mix.
So we shouldn't be surprised about the lateness, should we? And Cumberbatch is indeed apologetic. It seems he nipped outside the interview room in the Ritz Carlton Hotel for a quick ciggie and respite from the mayhem.
"Sorry, it's my first TIFF and I am so busy I can't even see one of the films I'm in," he says.
I remark at how relaxed he looks, considering how in-demand he is.
"I just got some fresh air; it does wonders for you getting out of a hotel room. But yeah, I look all right. I'm doing OK."
With Holmesian acuity I observe that he's wearing brown slacks, a blue denim shirt, a white striped summer sport coat and striped canvas sneakers, sans socks.
I further note with alarm that his hair is a dark reddish-brown, not at all like the "naturally blond" hue I had described in an earlier Star article. I had committed the journalistic sin of assuming it was his natural colour, because I'd seen it that way onscreen many times, including The Fifth Estate, due in theatres Oct. 18, in which he plays notorious WikiLeaks whistle blower Julian Assange.
Describing Cumberbatch as a "natural blond" brought me under sniper fire from his many fans on Twitter. Several of them indignantly scolded me, telling me that the lanky actor's real hair colour is red, or "ginger" as the Brits call it.
"Well, you can sling s— back at them," Cumberbatch says with a wry smile, rising to my defence. "I'm not ginger."
Cumberbatch begins to elaborate, while the four publicists/assistants seated behind him look up from their iPhones and iPads with amused interest.
"I'm auburn and there is a difference," he says firmly.
"I've got very good friends and relatives who are ginger and trust me, there's a difference. And they ain't ever gonna see the proof! They might say, 'We saw it when you were the Creature in Frankenstein!' (a stage play in which Cumberbatch appeared nude), but they didn't, they didn't! The Creature in Frankenstein had darker hair than me.
"That was one of the oddest moments of my life, applying makeup to that particular part of my body, but I have hair that is auburn. It's got streaks of red in it, definitely. It's also got streaks of bronze and lighter colours and darker brown colours. When I was a kid I was as blond as the young Julian in our film."
Such precision is what you'd expect of the man who plays Sherlock Holmes, who can deduce a man's entire life story from the ashes of his cigar. It could also describe, conveniently enough, the nitpicky ways of Assange, the Aussie computer boffin and muckraker who stunned the world (and terrified many world leaders) in 2010 when WikiLeaks, in cahoots with several major newspapers, dumped thousands of secret U.S. military and government documents into the public domain.
Cumberbatch reached out to Assange before portraying him in The Fifth Estate (which he does very well), but Mr. WikiLeaks was having none of it. Assange was also not inclined to broach any discussion about the subject, perhaps because he's still living under diplomatic asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, still potentially facing legal charges in the U.S. and Sweden.
"I wanted to meet him, but he didn't want to meet me," Cumberbatch sighs, adding that he was turned down in writing, not verbally.
"I haven't spoken to him. He didn't want to condone a film that he felt was based on two poisonous accounts of events that might be detrimental to him and his institution and people, including some who are awaiting trial and possible extradition.
"I respected that, but at the same time as politely as he wrote to me, I returned to him and said, 'I thoroughly disagree. This is a good thing; we want to portray you in all your glories. It's not about vilifying you. It's not about demonizing you. It's not about making you into a hero, but it's about trying to explore the complexities of it and it's a film, not a documentary.'"
Cumberbatch's normally perfect diction suddenly seems muffled. He sheepishly removes the maple sugar hard candy he's been sucking on.
"Sorry, this is a really good sweet! Sorry if it's making my diction s—!"
Despite being turned down by Assange, Cumberbatch still felt he needed to do right by the man, by showing him as more than just a humourless Internet troublemaker.
"I really profoundly wanted to show someone in private who had an emotional context, a sense of humour and the three-dimensionality which he can't allow himself to show. I think that's not because of being self-serving and protective, but because he doesn't want to get in the way of the message."
I point out to Cumberbatch that he's not unlike Assange in his current state of notoriety. Everything the two of them say and do is under constant scrutiny, and they're both caught in a whirlwind of media attention.
Cumberbatch keeps up a work schedule that would wear out three actors, perhaps making up for lost time over those years when he was a struggling unknown — such as when his film Starter for 10 played TIFF in 2006 and he wasn't deemed important enough by the filmmakers to warrant an air ticket to Toronto for the fest.
How does he keep it up?
"Good diet and sleeping every now and again helps," Cumberbatch says, grinning.
"I've got friends who keep me really grounded and for me — I guess in a way like Julian, although in a more flippant context — it's about the work. So if the work is being celebrated, then all the other hoopla around it is nice, but it's peripheral to the work.
"I'm in a really lucky position as well. I'm aware that not only is it an embarrassment of riches to have this many films at this festival, and ones with quality roles, but also that I'm actually employed at all. It's a blessing in my industry. We're oversubscribed and there are too many talented people who aren't employed."
I ask him if there any other real persons, alive or dead, whom he aspires to play in a film one day.
"Many, yes, but I've had quite a run on real figures, so it's tricky to say no when they are as difficult and complex and rich and varied as the ones I've been asked to play, because I think that's what draws all of us to their stories. They're the extremes of humanity and that's very interesting to watch and try and do."
What he really longs to do, perhaps not surprisingly after the run of dark characters he's been essaying, is to sing and dance.
"I'd like to play someone who can sing and dance. I'd like to do that. I've not done a musical. I'd also like to play a romantic comedy . . . there's lots more stuff I'd like to do."
Hmmm, perhaps he could combine the two, and do a biopic on Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire?
With Benedict Cumberbatch, as with Sherlock Holmes, no deduction is too wild to consider.

Food, Fun and Fitness
Written by Emily Caswell on June 1, 2012 . Posted in Features
Each year the new members of Junior League of Lansing are charged with presenting the Kids in the Kitchen event. The idea is to get kids in the kitchen cooking treats that are not only healthy, but tasty. Each new member class develops a unique way to make this happen, and this year's new member class (which includes myself and Capital Area Women's LifeStyle Magazine Account Manager Jennifer Hodges) decided to partner with the Westside YMCA's Healthy Kids Day. Chairing the event this year were Trinea Crafton and Karissa Chabot-Purchase. "My work in Michigan's Legislature provides me with a number of opportunities to advocate for health-related issues on a macro, policy-oriented level, but I knew a high-level of engagement in our Kids in the Kitchen project would give me the chance to help empower the community in a new (and very direct) way," said Chabot-Purchase. Crafton and Chabot-Purchase were approached by a fellow new member about partnering with the YMCA's Healthy Kids Day. "Once we looked into it more it was a natural and perfect fit," said Crafton. "There was symmetry between both Kids in the Kitchen's focus and the Westside YMCA's Healthy Kids Day that made the opportunity easy and natural." Healthy Kids Day featuring Kids in the Kitchen took place on Saturday, April 28 at the Westside YMCA, hundreds of kids and their families came out for the event. The YMCA presented hands-on activities and health assessments and the Junior League of Lansing provided kids with samples of tasty treats like hummus courtesy of The Purple Carrot, trail mix, cream cheese-inspired snacks — both salty and sweet — and more. Guests at Healthy Kids Day featuring Kids in the Kitchen also received recipe cards featuring the treats from the day and seedlings that kids planted in recycled egg cartons with the idea that families could go home and continue the trend of eating healthy. "We heard lots of 'I don't like that,' and 'What is that?' comments accompanied by wrinkled noses and frowns," said Chabot-Purchase of the children's reactions to the snacks. "Interaction with our volunteers definitely changed some minds … children's initial weariness shifted into positive comments like, 'That IS good,' 'I like that!' and 'Yum!'" The Junior League also invited Todd "TJ" Duckett, former Michigan State University and NFL football player to the event to meet with kids and share the importance of a healthy lifestyle. "The reactions of the children were priceless." said Crafton. "It was great to see their faces light up when they could see how fun health could be with either food or exercise." The event was a success thanks to the help of the event chairs, community volunteers, YMCA representatives and the new member class. "I was so happy to see that this kind of event could touch so many people in the community," said Crafton. Chabot-Purchase agrees. "It's always exciting and energizing to see what can happen when individuals and organizations combine their power toward a greater goal."

From simple cultivators to seed multipliers: Successes from the Farmers Assistance Program
Written by Lydia Mpundu November 20 2020 at 3:04 PM
In the villages of Muombe and Kilongo, five farmers from Kinsevere's Farmers Assistance Program (FAP) have begun their journey to become maize seed producers. Being meticulous farmers, they ensured even the smallest details were covered when developing the seeds. After months of hard work, the seeds were ready to be delivered to their peers.
The farmers have participated in the FAP since 2006, however it wasn't until 2012 that they started to take an interest in intensive agriculture. With the first phase of farming completed, the farmers turned their attention to the next step in agriculture. They followed the advice of the Kinsevere agricultural experts during field workshops to learn how to transition from traditional agriculture to mechanised farming techniques, and from there to seed production. Seed production is an activity that is different from anything the participants in the FAP had seen before.
During the last agricultural season, Kinsevere mine helped the farmers make the transition. A concession of seven hectares was given to the seed producers in Muombe village, and one hectare in Kilongo village to multiply corn seeds. The parental seeds, however, were cultivated by Kinsevere on land in Muombe village.
Maize seed production requires geographic isolation from all other maize crops. Every day, our agronomists monitored the operations to make sure that the farmers respected the process and that the quality of the seed was assured.
Throughout the growing period, Kinsevere held discussions with the farmers. Topics discussed included the choice of plot, its isolation to avoid any contamination by unwanted pollen carried by the wind and the preparation of the soil, and the choice of the seed which is of the Unilu variety produced locally by the University of Lubumbashi. They also discussed sowing, fertilisation, maintenance, the right time to harvest, conditioning of seeds and how to store them correctly.
Eleven months after sowing, Agnès, one of the farmers, breathed a sigh of relief, recognising the task has not been easy. "We had to begin by mastering the sowing to be sure of fertilisation. Afterwards we had a job of purifying the off-types in the field to obtain the best possible purity. When weeding, all the weeds were removed," she said.
The five seed producers produced 12.7 tonnes of maize seed on eight hectares, and yielded over 750kg of maize per hectare, a strong result for a first harvest.
All of the seeds produced were purchased by the Kinsevere mine and distributed in November to over 300 local smallholders. The provincial minister of agriculture, Mr Aers Kayumba, present at the event, congratulated the seed producers for this awareness to favour local consumption in this pandemic.
While they belong to a group that is yet to be officially registered, they have hopes to become a legally recognised seed producing association soon. For them, growing maize will not only be a subsistence activity but soon an opportunity to create a small community seed business.

Brussels is the capital of Europe, but we didn't know that when we started to build it. You'll encounter a strange mix of skyscrapers and small curving streets, where everybody gets lost, including the Belgians who are not from Brussels. Brussels provides everything that you expect from a real city: busy traffic, an underground art scene, eccentric old ladies, expensive cocktails, and lots of adventure if you're willing. Stay far away from the 'waffle squares' and you'll discover one of the greatest cities in Europe.


Did Peter publicly maintain that Jesus resurrected?
Paul publicly maintained that Peter believed Jesus resurrected.1 This is relevant because Paul knew whether Peter actually believed this (having interacted with him on several occasions, and staying with him for fourteen days).
For example, Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15 "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, … that [Jesus] was raised, and that He appeared to Cephas who is Peter, then to the twelve." He adds: "Whether then it was I or they [Peter et al.], so we preach and so you believed." In other words, the message of Jesus's resurrection appearances to Peter was preached by Peter himself, and Paul's audience knew that.
Peter believed that Jesus made resurrection appearances to him.
This is relevant, of course, because it entails that he believed Jesus was alive again from the dead (and far less unlikely that he believed Jesus resurrected in particular).
All the 12 apostles (minus Judas) maintained that Jesus resurrected. [Forthcoming] This is relevant because Peter was one of the 12 apostles.
For example, 1 Corinthians 15 reports "that He was raised, and that He appeared to Cephas [who is Peter], then to the twelve." This is relevant because the 1 Corinthians 15 report dates back to A.D. 30-35 and reflected the teachings of the early Jerusalem church; in fact, most experts believe it was originated by the Jerusalem church. Notice as well in the report itself that Paul testified to "passing it down" and notes that "Whether then it was I or they [Peter et al.], so we preach and so you believed." In other words, the message of Jesus's appearance to Peter et al. was preached by Peter.
1 Corinthians 15 reports "that He was raised, and that He appeared to Cephas who is Peter, _then to the twelve." This is relevant because 1 Corinthians was written by Paul (who intimately knew Peter's official position, saying that Jesus appeared to Peter in v.3).
Moreover, the content in v3-5 is material that was already in circulation, Paul was "passing it down", and notes that "Whether then it was I or they [Peter et al.], so we preach and so you believed." In other words, the message of Jesus's appearance to Peter et al. was preached by Peter.
The question of whether 1 Peter was written by Peter is widely disputed. As one argument in its favor, however, consider that the author's language in 1 Peter matches that of Peter's speeches in the book of Acts.
Peter was killed for for some reason. This is relevant because the most obvious reason is his persistent proclaiming Jesus's resurrection, which was divisive, controversial, and incited rage.


When it comes to floor care, no matter what you do, if you are not using the right floor care products from the right floor care supplier you are not going to get the results that you want. You can use all the elbow grease you want to put forth but if your products are not up to par, neither will your results. The right floor care supplier is going to make a difference in your results because they will have the products that are right for the job.
Whether you are a homeowner, a business owner, or even a professional homebuilder, you will likely eventually need a professional cleaning company. These days, cleaning companies offer far more than basic cleaning services; they also offer water- and fire-restoration services and even duct cleaning for homes and businesses. If you are looking for expert water damage contractors in Biloxi, MS, you won't have to look far, and these companies usually work 24/7 to take care of the damages that you've sustained. In fact, most water damage contractors make the job easy on you because above all else; they take care of the hard work for you.
Office cleaning in Brooklyn area is something that not only the managers but the employees as well should take care of. Of course, you have probably hired an office cleaning staff to come in after hours and take care of the heavy cleaning. However, there are some tips that you can follow, so that your office stays clean all day long as well.
Making the interior of a home more appealing is something that will take a lot of work. Investing time and money in interior decor is important and will help a homeowner customize their surroundings. One of the best ways to increase the appeal of a home's interior is by adding new furniture. Just like any other part of a home, eventually, the furniture will have to be cleaned by a professional. Hiring the right professionals to perform Upholstery Cleaning in Bowie is the best way to ensure the job is done properly. The following are some of the benefits a homeowner can gain when having their furniture cleaned on a regular basis.
While household cleaning services may seem like a type of luxury, hiring residential house cleaning services makes practical sense. If you are unsure whether this is the best option for you, consider the reasons other households choose these services each year. Whether you work full time and have a big family to care for, or you simply want to keep your home clean while you are away, these services are your best option. To make matters even better, these cleaning services are far more cost-effective than they were in the past, making them more easily available to households with a budget.
Today's cleaners are more powerful and effective than ever before; however, this comes with a price – they can also be much more toxic and harmful to the environment. If you have young children, it can be detrimental to their health if they breathe in the fumes and toxins day in and day out.

Judges' Questions Hint That They'll Uphold New Health Law
May 11, 2011 | In The Courts
From Politico:
Judges sharply questioned whether Virginia has a right to sue the federal government. | AP Photo
By JENNIFER HABERKORN | 5/10/11 7:49 PM EDT
RICHMOND, Va.— The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals peppered the health reform law's challengers with intense rounds of questioning on Tuesday, suggesting that it could rule against both Virginia and Liberty University — two of the four cases racing toward the Supreme Court this spring and summer.
Oral arguments in both cases were held back-to-back Tuesday in front of a randomly selected panel of three judges — who all happened to be appointed by Democratic presidents.
The panel sharply questioned whether Virginia has a right to sue the federal government, suggesting that if Virginia can sue, so can a state that doesn't like the Iraq war. The Virginia case was brought by the state's headline-grabbing attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli.
The judges also questioned Liberty University's claim that not entering the health insurance market is inactivity that cannot be regulated under the Commerce Clause.
In two hours of arguments — far more time than originally outlined — the judges never brought up what to do if they uphold the ruling that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. While not a sure sign that the panel could rule against the law, it's a hint that it wasn't on the judges' minds during the discussions.
The panel appeared sympathetic to the government's argument that it is using the requirement to buy insurance coverage — the key provision Liberty University and Virginia are contesting — to address what Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal called a "massive social problem."
One of the judges, Andre M. Davis, cited a hypothetical situation in which a group of people from Virginia got into a car accident in Maryland and a hospital incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical costs.
"Is it your submission that Congress has no power to address in the aggregate what happens every day?" the judge asked lawyers for Liberty University.
But it's the vegetable question — broccoli or asparagus, depending on the judge — that continues to be one of the most significant obstacles for the law's supporters: If it's OK for Congress to require Americans to buy health insurance, can it require people to buy vegetables or a membership at a health gym because they're good for you too?
Katyal said the mandate is narrow in that it only regulates how people purchase health care. His argument is based on the premise that all Americans will consume health care at some point in their lives — whether they want to or not.
Walter E. Dellinger, who served as an acting solicitor general under then-President Bill Clinton, expects that question to continue to come up in the cases.
"And the answer is absolutely clear," he told POLITICO outside the Richmond courtroom. "There's not a single other product in the world that Congress could require you to purchase just because this statute is upheld. It's because there's no other product that people are required by law to provide you for free the way they are for emergency medical treatment."
The panel was made up of Davis, Diana Gribbon Motz and James A. Wynn Jr. Gribbon Motz was nominated to the bench by Clinton, and Davis and Wynn were nominated by President Barack Obama.
The panel was tough on the federal government, at times, even sending Katyal back to his desk with a homework assignment while the other side argued its case.
Gribbon Motz had questioned how the word "regulation" is defined within the activity and inactivity argument.
"The power Congress has is regulation," she said. 'That's right in the Constitution. That is a constitutional provision." Gribbon Motz wanted to know: If you aren't regulating an activity, what are you regulating?
Katyal tried to redirect the question toward one of financing — not activity.
"The question is financing. How can we regulate their means of payment for that, to avoid them externalizing the costs onto others?" he said.
Georgetown University Law Center professor Randy Barnett, who is also arguing with the National Federation of Independent Business in the multistate suit in Florida, said he interpreted the question as a sign Gribbon Motz may have reservations.
"This was really quite remarkable," Barnett said, recounting that during the first half of the argument, it appeared the activity and inactivity question wouldn't be an issue. "It's only one judge who had that problem but it was significant."
Cuccinelli and Liberty University are expected to appeal if the circuit does rule against them. Cuccinelli, who has been aiming for the Supreme Court since he filed the case shortly after Obama signed the health bill into law, said he would skip the option to have the whole 4th Circuit hear his case and directly petition the Supreme Court.
The panel appeared skeptical that the commonwealth event has the right to sue the federal government on the matter, with jduges filling most of each sides' time arguing the issue.
A 4th Circuit ruling against Virginia could speed up the path to the Supreme Court since the federal government is expected to appeal to the full panel if it loses.
The 4th Circuit ruling — or any circuit court ruling, for that matter — is likely to do little to resolve the case. If the panel upholds the law, opponents are likely to chalk it up to yet another partisan ruling from the bench.
Next month, both the 6th Circuit and 11th Circuit are scheduled to hear appeals in similar health reform cases.
At least two judges now during questions in oral arguments have suggested that lawyers prepare to take their cases upstairs. The Supreme Court is expected to be asked to take at least one of the health cases in the 2011-12 term, which ends five months before the 2012 presidential election.
The expected ruling could force the Republican presidential contenders — who so far all oppose the health law — into issuing a detailed health reform plan of their own.
"It will be teed up right when the fall of 2012 rolls around, so the timing is kind of extraordinary," Cuccinelli told reporters. "But not of our own making," he said, adding that he'd rather the Supreme Court have taken the case months ago.

In this Angular 6 tutorial you will learn about the top platform for building web applications. This tutorial includes modules in Angular fundamentals, its architecture, evolution of Angular, installing Angular CLI, creating Angular bootstrap, new features of Angular 6 and more. Learn Angular from Intellipaat Angular training course.
Back when Angular was first released, it became an instant hit among developers. It was initially designed by a Google employee for the purpose of making it easier to build web applications for their internal projects. This was the birth of Angular JS.
After the release, Angular JS was incorporated by some of the biggest brands for their web app development.
But we know that the technologies are ever evolving, there are new improvements made in every aspect of the technology. Angular is a case in point here.
Angular 6, yet another improved version of Angular, was released by Angular team on 5th May 2018. In this tutorial we will be discussing the highlights of Angular 6, the key features and, much more about Angular.
We assume that if you have a basic knowledge about previous versions of Angular.
Following is the list of all the topics that we are going to cover in this tutorial.
In this part of tutorial we will look at the Evolution in Angular, then we will look at The Application Shell and how we can perform angular Installation and Setup.
Angular team kept improving the framework by introducing new features and fixing various bugs and a few years later came Angular 4.
Note that there is no Angular 3. Not because they forgot to name the next version, Angular 3, but because they skipped it. Here's why, The Angular codebase has various libraries with their own versions such as core, animations, router etc. Now while all other libraries were at 2.3 versions, the router was at version 3. The next version would have been 2.4 but for router, coming back to 2.4 from 3 was not correct. So to avoid any confusion, Google decided to skip version 3 altogether and the next version was named Angular 4.
Angular became a blanket term for Angular 2 and all other versions that were released after Angular JS.
Then the next version, Angular 5 came. The main purpose of Angular 5 was to make angular faster. Google has managed to improve the loading time and the execution time with Angular 5.
Angular 6, which was released in March 2018, is the next version. In Angular 6, Google focused on toolchain for example Angular CLI, ngAngular Elements etc.
Now, moving further in this tutorial, let's learn more about Angular 6 starting with the installation.
In this section of this tutorial we will install Angular 6 step by step and then create a demo application.
Step 1: We are going to start by downloading the Node.js environment. Click Here to download.
Step 2: After downloading the installer, you can start the installation making sure that you include the npm packages as shown in the following screenshot.
Step 3: Type in the following command in your terminal to make sure Node.js is correctly installed.
Become Angular Certified in 16 hrs.
Before starting with the installation of Angular CLI, let's first get fully acquainted with it.
This command is used when you want to open your project in a web browser.
You can also display a list of all the available commands in Angular CLI along with their short descriptions using the ng help command.
Getting back to the installation part, after the installation of node, let's now install angular CLI.
After running the above command you will see an output screen like the following screenshot.
Now that we have all the necessary packages and modules let's start by running a demo application.

Addyi's long road to drug store shelves concludes on Saturday when the drug, often hailed as the "female Viagra," finally hits shelves. You'll need to see your doctor and have a prescription written in order to get your hands on some. And for some good background on the drug and how it finally won FDA approval, check out the links below — including our interview with the CEO behind the drug.


Wonderful, wonderful news! So happy for you and Jan and prayers going up that all stays well! You even sound happier in your post! Stay well also. Hugs.
Oh wow, such good news about Jan! This must be such a relief for you to know that the operation looks to be working well, and that Jan may be coming home soon. I am so happy for both of you.
Last night, Dee Dee and I went to watch Jazzy in the Christmas/Awesome Eighties show. These kids are amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Kyra, you take care of yourself. It's good to see a smile back on your face. Have a super day, hugs, Edna B.
It is so good Kyra to hear that Jan had his operation and that he seems to be doing much better.
I hope that he continues to improve. I know you must have been so scared. I hope that you get your Christmas decorating done and have some time just to enjoy Jan's return home.
So pleased to hear good news about Jan - God is good. It will be lovely to have him home for Christmas. Make sure you look after yourself too. Continuing prayers to you both.
I will say my prayers for Jan also. The more good thoughts that up on his behalf the better the noise we can make to Heaven. I'm sure he is being watched over by his Guardian Angel also. Take it easy with the decorating.
My grand daughter's husband will be flying home on the 14th and then he can have Christmas with his family. We will make him feel right at home.. I'm working on a "Honey to do list" for him and his wife will have one too. He can't stay too long away from his job in the Los Angeles area. His boss picked up a couple more contracts from the movie people and one for a TV series being made. The have a shop where they make the props for the movie whatever it is. I'll have to check my blog and make sure I have some of the costumes that Jess (new Grandson-in-law) makes. He also does makeup for the monster characters. Some days it's 17 hours on the set. Then go home, take a little nap and rush back on the set. The Movies business is hard work, I guess.
Time for me to fix a little breakfast. I forgot to do it yesterday.
Have a good day and I'll say some prayers for Jan.

Millennials Were Already Leaving Metro Areas — COVID Just Gave Them a Push
The pandemic may have accelerated migration out of high-cost cities, but millennials sparked this trend even before "coronavirus" became an everyday word.
An analysis of 2019 U.S. Census data by Freddie Mac shows that millennial homebuyers — now the largest homebuying demographic — were already following jobs and affordable housing to the nation's interior.
This migration was set off by a decades-long decline in available starter homes. COVID concerns, work from home, and surging home prices only accelerated the push, and will likely continue to do so until inventory rebounds.
Nationwide shortage of starter homes
The supply of starter homes — new houses under 1,400 square feet — has been on a steady decline since the 1970's, according to Freddie Mac.
Starter homes were being built at an average rate of 418,000 units per year in the late 1970's. But that rate has declined in each decade since and in 2010's just 55,000 starter homes were constructed per year.
New single-family home size has also increased in recent decades. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average size of new single-family homes increased from just over 2,200 square feet to nearly 2,700 square feet from 1999 to 2016.
So even before the pandemic intensified inventory shortages, millennials were entering the homebuying market to a supply of starter homes that has been declining for nearly 50 years. And these homebuyers aren't just competing against themselves for smaller homes. Boomers – the second largest generation – are retiring, downsizing, and coming into the market with more purchasing power than millennials.
Facing these hurdles, first-time homebuyer millennials began looking for affordable housing outside of major metro areas before the pandemic.
Pre-pandemic millennial homeownership
According to the 2021 Freddie Mac "Millennials and Housing" playbook, millennials were gaining ground in more affordable states and regions even before the pandemic.
The rate of millennial homeownership in 2019 paints a good picture of where these homebuyers were finding a foothold.
According to the 2019 U.S. Census-Current Population Survey, 90% of millennials lived in metro areas and 40% lived in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, and Chicago alone. Meanwhile, the top five states for millennial homeownership rate were:
Utah – 59%
South Dakota – 58%
Oklahoma – 57%
Mississippi – 57%
New Hampshire – 57%
And the bottom five states were:
California – 30%
New York – 30%
Texas – 39%
North Carolina – 39%
Georgia – 41%
The share of mortgages issued to millennials in 2019 follows a similar trend with North Dakota, Utah, and Kansas topping the list.
Even before COVID concerns, work-from-home, and surging home prices, millennials were gaining ground in interior states away from expensive coastal metro areas.
What's ahead for first-time millennial homebuyers?
Following the pandemic, millennials have more reasons than ever to continue migrating inland away from the most expensive and competitive housing markets.
Although inventory is picking up, especially in outer suburbs and small metros, the average new home size is still above 2,400 square feet and the NAHB predicts new home size will increase due to demand for work-from-home spaces.
With little relief coming from the cities, the millennial migration to more affordable regions is likely to continue, if not accelerate well beyond the pandemic push.

Couple praised for quarter of a century improving lives of vulnerable foster children
Press release • Jan 15, 2020 14:58 GMT
A couple who have given a loving home to more than 30 vulnerable looked-after children are celebrating 25 years as foster carers.
When Keith and Helen Atkinson first started fostering, East 17 had topped the charts with their Christmas Number One hit 'Stay Another Day', the first episode of sitcom 'The Vicar of Dibley' was broadcast by the BBC and the first National Lottery draw presented by Noel Edmunds was broadcast.
Now, a quarter of a century later, the couple have been presented with a bouquet of flowers by Foster for Bury to thank them for their invaluable contribution to helping Bury's looked-after children.
Over 25 years the Atkinsons, who have two children of their own who are both now adults, have fostered dozens of children, teenagers and unaccompanied minors seeking asylum - some for a few days and others for several months or years depending on what the children needed.
Many children have stayed in touch with the couple over the years and have since invited Helen and Keith to their weddings and even the christenings of their own children.
Keith (aged 70) said: "It wasn't really a conscious decision to start fostering. One day our daughter asked if her friend could stay for the night or she would have to sleep on a park bench. We were horrified. A social worker came to talk to us and it went from there. At the time there was a children's home in Bury but we didn't want her to live there. I just took my heart in my hands and said she could live with us and the look on her face was one of such relief. That was the start of it."
Helen said: "It's nice to see the children come on. When they come to us they can be so angry about being placed into care, but eventually you get them to settle down, to see that there's a different way of life and that being in care can be the best thing.
"The children have been let down many times so if we say we'll do something to help them, we always aim to carry it through as keeping your promise helps to build up the trust. Doing a small thing such as giving them a set of house keys helps to build trust and they gain a sense of responsibility."
The couple now act as Ambassadors for Foster With Bury, helping to recruit new foster carers by attending community events throughout the borough to talk to members of the public who may be thinking of becoming foster carers themselves.
Helen said: "It's all been a big learning experience, but we feel really supported by Foster With Bury. The training the team put together is brilliant.
"It's hard to put into words why we do it. It's about enabling the kids who come to us, who have all sorts of problems, to get as sorted as they can, just like we did with our own children. We can give them love and a stable home. It gives us all a sense of achievement."
Both Keith and Helen, who live in Walmersley, are now retired from their careers working as civil servants. Helen said: "My best bit of advice is to keep laughing and to have a sense of humour. Hope for the best but prepare for challenges. Be open to almost anything and don't be set in your ways as each child is different."
Keith added: "We will both carry on as long as we can. I think the children are keeping us young."
Councillor Tamoor Tariq, cabinet member for children and families at Bury Council, said: "Keith and Helen are an absolute inspiration to the Bury community. They have made such a difference to the lives of so many looked-after children in the borough and I want to thank them for all their years of dedicated service."

When you decide to travel somewhere for a city break, most probably you will choose to stay for at least few days. For Belgrade, recommended length of stay is at least 7 days. For sightseeing, you need to be well prepared; because best locations are spread all around the city. Belgrade has organized public transportation. For the locals it is easy to get around Belgrade, but for the foreigners, too many different lines can be really confusing sometimes. Maybe the smart call would be to rent a car in Belgrade during your stay, and discover capital of Serbia on the 4 wheels. Good to know: It it is a High Season during the summer for Belgrade car rental companies. You have to book your favorite car way in advance.
It is always better to book your car way in advance. There is no guarantee that your choice will be available directly on the spot. Our strong suggestion is to book your car way in advance.

Q: Show that the sequence $(a_n)_{n\ge 0}$ defined recurrence relation $a_0=25, a_{n+1}=2\sqrt{a_n}$ converges. Show that the sequence $(a_n)_{n\ge 0}$ defined recurrence relation $a_0=25, a_{n+1}=2\sqrt{a_n}$ converges. I showed that it is bounded from below by $1$, but I'm struggling to show that the sequence is non-increasing. I tried induction, but the induction hypothesis is not helpful at all.

A: Well, $a_1 = 10 < 25 = a_0$ so here we have our basic step.
For the inductive step, suppose $a_{n+1} < a_n$, we want $a_{n+2} < a_{n+1}$.
$a_{n+2} \stackrel{?}{<} a_{n+1}$ is equivalent to $2\sqrt{a_{n+1}} \stackrel{?}{<} 2\sqrt{a_n}$.
Can you finish now?

A: Note that $\frac{a_{n+1}}{4}=\left(\frac{a_n}{4}\right)^{\frac 12}$, therefore $\frac{a_n}{4} = \left(\frac{a_0}{4}\right)^{\frac{1}{2^n}} = \left(\frac{25}{4}\right)^{\frac{1}{2^n}} \to 1$, as $n \to +\infty$.

A: Letting
$b_n = \log(a_n)$,
this becomes,
taking logs,
$b_{n+1}
=\log(2)+b_n/2
=c+b_n/2
$
where $c = \log 2$.
Then
$\begin{array}\\
b_{n+1}
&=c+\frac12 b_n\\
&=c+\frac12(c+\frac12 b_{n-1})\\
&=\frac32 c+\frac14 b_{n-1}\\
&=\frac32 c+\frac14 (c+\frac12 b_{n-2})\\
&=\frac74 c+\frac18 b_{n-2})\\
&...\\
&=(2-\frac1{2^k}) c+\frac1{2^{k+1}} b_{n-k})
\qquad\text{(easily proved by induction)}\\
&\to 2c\\
\end{array}
$
Therefore
$a_n
\to e^{2c}
=e^{2\log(2)}
=2^2
=4
$.
Note that this does not
depend on the initial condition.

Khloé Kardashian explains IVF treatments as attempt 'fix' her marriage
By Gemma Strong
Khloé Kardashian tried everything she could to save her marriage to Lamar Odom, including trying to have a baby. The 31-year-old reality star made the candid confession that she tried IVF treatments to conceive during an episode of her show Kocktails with Khloé.
"I do want to have a baby. I've tried IVF and all that," she said when asked about her family plans. "Right now in my life, I don't want to just have a baby. I still want to have like my family – but at the time, I was like, 'Ugh, gotta have a baby.' That's all I wanted at that time."
Khloé revealed she tried IVF to save her marriage to Lamar
Khloé married NBA star Lamar in September 2009 when she was 25 – but within two years their marriage was plagued by reports of his infidelity and substance abuse. "I thought maybe it would like fix the situation," Khloé admitted.
Now, years later, Khloé is relieved things turned out the way they did. "I'm happy it didn't happen because I was so young. I was 27 and I thought 'Oh my god, a baby will fix this.' (But) it's not going to fix that," she added.
During the show, Khloé also admitted that she and her sister Kourtney Kardashian initially didn't want to take part in Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Lamar and Khloé were married from 2009 until 2013
The star said she found herself "spiralling" after the death of her dad Robert Kardashian in 2003 – at the time she was 19, and older sister Kourtney realised her sister needed something to focus on.
"She said, 'We're going to open a women's clothing store, and you're going to run it,' because I just needed structure. I needed to do something every day," Khloé said.
In fact, Khloé was so dedicated to the boutique – Dash – that promoting it was her main reason for agreeing to the reality show.
"Kim and my mom really wanted to do the TV show, and Kourtney and I were like, 'All we wanted to do was the kids store and Dash,'"the Strong Looks Better Naked author explained. "Ryan Seacrest was like, 'Well, I only want you on if it's a family show,' so we said, 'Well, if you film at the store, and it's our commercial, then we'll be on it.'"

Pool accidents are among the most tragic of all personal injury situations. They almost always involve small children and have a high mortality rate. These accidents occur when a pool owner fails to adequately safeguard their pool against unsupervised access by children. Locked gates and child safe pool covers are the key to preventing these accidents.
Children do not realize how easy it is to drown by falling into a pool. They will often run around the pool and it is common for a child to try to retrieve a toy from the water, then fall in. Once in the water, the child panics and the result is a life ended before it really began. Families are left emotionally devastated and even the pool owner may suffer tremendous emotional trauma from the incident.
Nothing can compensate a parent for the loss of their child. Most children are not covered by any kind of life insurance and the family is left not only dealing with their loss, but with the financial burden of laying their child to rest.
At the Lalezary Firm, we approach the loss of a child with empathy and resolve. The owner of the pool, regardless of their level of internal feelings of guilt, is responsible for their failure to safeguard against the tragedy. We take the added trauma of pursuing a claim out of the hands of the grieving parents and take on the frustration of dealing with unsympathetic insurance adjusters so that the parents and family can reach some level of closure and begin to move on.

Updated Announcement: Executive Director changes at WEL Doylestown, Upper Moreland and Burholme
Dear WEL Residents, Family, POA's, and Employees:
WEL Doylestown
Back in March, we shared with you that Steve Cherry, our Executive Director at WEL Doylestown, would be retiring, effective July 10, 2020.

When it comes to personal injury, head injuries are becoming increasingly common. They can happen in any situation, from a slip and fall on an icy step, to a hard hit at an athletic event, to a car or motorcycle collision.
Head injuries are the most common cause of death and permanent disability around the world. Over one million Canadians are currently living with the effects a brain injury and around 160,000 Canadians will acquire a serious brain injury this year.
Many individuals who acquire brain injuries remain in the hospital for weeks or even months after the injury. Sometimes, they are transferred to rehabilitation facilities while they relearn basic skills. Even if their healthcare is funded, families can incur great expense for food, transportation and accommodation during the recovery period.
Mild brain injury from head trauma is being researched and reported on more often, in the news. This type of wound may result in a concussion with temporary vision issues, nausea, and headaches among their symptoms. Most of these injuries will heal on their own, with time and rest, but some will result in milder long-term effects.
Many people will continue to need medication and regular follow-up visits after their injury. Some will require ongoing physiotherapy, occupational therapy, counselling or other services.
It is possible that headaches, fatigue, dizziness, seizures, and other symptoms will continue indefinitely, as patients begin to live with their new normal, after the accident.
People who are left with physical disabilities, after a brain injury, may be unable to walk, talk or care for their own physical needs. They may require a wheelchair or other specialized equipment, modifications to their home or vehicle, and may even need to hire full-time caregivers.
Brain function can be affected permanently, and patients may end up with poor memory, difficulty processing information, inability to concentrate and attention deficits. They may experience impaired communication, reasoning ability and judgement. They may be unable to process sensory information and have a hard time dealing with certain sounds, lighting and physical touch. They may even experience differences in the way they taste and smell.
Many people never fully recover from a brain injury. They may be unable to return to work or may return to a role with less responsibility than they previously held, resulting in a permanent loss or reduction of income.
Lawsuits related to brain injury can be complicated. They may take many months or years to settle and each case will need to be handled differently, depending how the injury was acquired. A personal injury lawyer can help an individual and their family sort through the confusion, determine their future requirements and secure the benefits they need to recover and manage expenses after their injury.


Suddenly, students from Bridgeport, Connecticut's St. Ann Academy try to glimpse the juvenile, foot-long specimen before it slithers out of sight.
Common garter snakes like this one are fairly . . . common. They slither around warm spots in the Marin Headlands—and most areas in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

From then on, in this wetland restoration area overlooking Rodeo Beach, it was all action on this short hike.
Our guide, wildlife biologist Patricia Valarcel, finds a green tree frog that she holds in her hand while students gather around holding up cell phones to take photo and video of the little amphibian.
Valarcel shows off one of the Marin Headlands' green tree frogs.
Then St. Ann Academy student Rocco Leito finds some tadpoles in a puddle nearby. Seconds later, another tree frog is spotted.
Standing over the hopping frog, junior biologist Leito explains the connection.
"This is the adult form of the tadpoles we saw," he says.
The herp-circle of life . . . At least some of those tadpoles will be a tasty treat for garter snakes, Rocco.

Any find excites the students—a snail, a spider, a colony of ants.
"Everything I've learned in science class relates to this," St. Ann Academy's Keara Klein says.
To Keara's mother Ann-Marie Klein, making the trip to San Francisco and Golden Gate National Recreation Area from Connecticut is well worth the effort.
"For me, it is to give them an experience to see how great nature is," she says.
While walking out of the wetland restoration area back toward dry land, Valarcel strikes up a conversation with fellow guide Candace Makowski, a habitat restoration intern at Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
"So the tree frogs are doing really well," Valarcel says.
What's next? How about helping the most beautiful city in America (San Francisco, of course!) save the most beautiful serpent in America, the San Francisco garter snake? Learn more about a project to restore this azure beauty to its habitat in San Mateo County.

Traceability is a core requirement in today's food processing industry. Today's consumers want to know what they're consuming, and where it's coming from. Innova makes it possible for you to trace every product all the way back to its source. Full traceability strengthens the trust between the food processor and their customers.
Traceability regulation requires processors to be able to trace food and ingredients through all stages of production, processing and distribution. They need to be able to identify the complete set of final products that include an ingredient and conversely to identify the complete set of ingredients used to produce a specific batch.
New features for Innova Traceability make it easier to handle complex traceability requirements and to react quickly when issues are reported. Now the software has two lot types, a new function that can automatically create and activate changeover lots, new forward and backward trace reports and a manual way of adding supplies to any registration point.
A supplier lot is a supplier's production lot and can represent either protein, packaging or any other ingredients such as spices, marinades or cleaning supplies.
A process lot is the internal traceability lot and represents a batch of intermediate or final products created in production.
The lot assigned to a finished sellable unit has a supply list which provides detailed information on all supplies used to produce the unit. This provides a way to react quickly to any recalls or claims.
The traceability system has the option of automatically creating and activating changeover lots that are active for a specific time while a mix of supplies is being used. Changeover lots are activated automatically when new supply starts coming onto the line and deactivated when the old supply is all gone. This ensures complete traceability but minimizes the recall window. This is especially useful in inline processes when supplies are changing from A to B or when bringing offline material to the line and temporarily creating a mix of supplies.
Now supplies can be added manually to any registration point, either from the office or by an operator using a PDA or a terminal. Supplies can also be activated automatically in production on a time basis or triggered by an event.
New forward and backward trace reports make it quick and easy to view complete traceability information. The forward trace report looks forward by showing everything that was produced using a specific supply. The backward trace report looks backward by showing all supplies used to produce a specific lot.
Innova Release 5.6.1: The Scraping Yield Station measures scraping yield after the de-boning of a poultry carcass. De-boning yield performance is evaluated by measuring how much meat is left on the carcass after de-boning. The system guides the operator through the process.
The Scraping Yield Station measures scraping yield after the de-boning of a poultry carcass. De-boning yield performance is evaluated by measuring how much meat is left on the carcass after de-boning. The system guides the operator through the process.
The station displays the overall performance of the selected line compared to the total performance of all lines. An easy to read dashboard gives you all the information on performance, be it a single line or a comparison of all lines.
The Innova Slicing software provides control, monitoring and analysis of salmon slicing lines. It can be implemented as a stand-alone product or part of a plant-wide solution. The Innova Slicing line control module gives you easy-to-use line control, real-time monitoring with reporting on actual performance. Information from the shop floor is collected in real-time and stored in the Innova database, enabling you to analyze and optimize your slicing and packing process.
A typical salmon slicing line includes slicers, scales and optional checkweighers. It is conveniently managed from one master slicer. When a program is activated on the master slicer Innova makes sure that the whole line runs according to that program, including slicers, scales and checkweighers.
Alarm monitoring based on device status.
Innova Slicing comes with a default dashboard for the salmon slicing solution that provides real-time KPIs for the running program.
Innova has created a new application for those who need to do manual sampling on any production line in fish, meat or poultry processing. The Manual Yield Sampling Station offers a simple, user-friendly method to measure the yield of the output products from an unprocessed product sample taken from a processing line. It makes the task easier and more efficient and accurate than before.
The system can easily be adapted to various processes using customized product lists. Innova allows for instant display of the weight and yield of products recorded from the sample, and a yield report for the current purchase order can be generated.
Each yield sample is associated with a purchase order for identification. You can print out the yield report for the current purchase order at any time during the yield sampling process. It's also possible to view yield samples for other purchase orders by running the yield report straight from the terminal or from the office.
Manual Yield Sampling Station can be implemented as a stand-alone product or as part of a plant-wide solution including multiple Innova products and services. A typical setup with this module is a platform scale and a touch screen industrial workstation with an optional printer.
Innova Release 5.6.1: The Innova Labeling module has a new feature that supports direct print requests from external systems.
The Innova Labeling module has a new feature that supports direct print requests from external systems. This makes it easier to manage label printing from third party software. It can connect the Innova label system with your company's ERP software offering the same user experience as when designing labels with Innova. The Labeling Integration Print Engine supports processing print requests over a web service or from XML files over the file system.
Print requests are issued by the external system in the form of an XML file containing the printer and label layout to use.
The print request also contains the data to use for data-bound label fields in the label layout.
The Integration Print Engine provides the Innova Label Designer list of data fields that are used by the external system.
