Q: Elastic combine must and must not I would like to create a query in elastic where I get all documents that match a value and don't have a specific field: what I'm trying to do is the following:
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [
                {
                    "match": {
                        "some-field.b": true
                    }
                },
                {
                    "bool": {
                        "must_not": {
                            "exists": {
                                "field": "some-other-field.a"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Even if I change a document in elastic and give a value to the some-other-field.a the query keeps returning me the same number of total hits. Any idea why is this happening?
The only way I found to change this is by adding the a minimum score to the query but I'm not sure I really understand the concept of the score. I would like to get the documents only if both conditions are met.
I noticed one other thing. If I repeat the query while having a minimum score the number of the returned hits varies.

A: Since you have not mentioned anything about your mapping and index data.
Adding a working example with index mapping, index data and search query (considering data to be of nested type as some-other-field.a looks like a nested field)
Index Mapping:
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "user": {
        "type": "nested"
      },
      "qualification": {
        "type": "nested"
      }
    }
  }
}

Index Data:
{
  "user" : [
    {
      "first" : "Bhavya",
      "last" :  "Gupta"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "user" : [
    {
      "first" : "Bhavya",
      "last" :  "Gupta"
    }
  ],
  "qualification": [
    {
      "degree": "MTech"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "user" : [
    {
      "first" : "John",
      "last" :  "Smith"
    }
  ],
  "qualification": [
    {
      "degree": "BTech"
    }
  ]
}

Search Query:
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "nested": {
            "path": "user",
            "query": {
              "bool": {
                "must": [
                  {
                    "match": {
                      "user.first": "Bhavya"
                    }
                  }
                ]
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ],
      "must_not": {
        "nested": {
          "path": "qualification",
          "query": {
            "exists": {
              "field": "qualification.degree"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Search Result:
"hits": [
      {
        "_index": "stof",
        "_type": "_doc",
        "_id": "3",
        "_score": 0.35667494,
        "_source": {
          "user": [
            {
              "first": "Bhavya",
              "last": "Gupta"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]

A: The final query I needed was the following:
"query": {
    "bool": {
        "must": [
            {
                "match": {
                    "some-field.b": true
                }
            }
        ],
        "must_not": {
            "nested": {
                "path": "some-other-field",
                "query": {
                    "exists": {
                        "field": "some-other-field.a"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

It looks like my mistake was the must_not part of the query since the some-other-field was a nested field

Arianna Luis '19 enjoys the music on the dance floor during the Winter Wonderland.
Our annual holiday event, aptly titled 'Winter Wonderland' was a great school event to look forward to before winter break. It involved fun games, exciting activities, and great music to put the students in a good mood. What we do not see is how everything miraculously comes together. This is the job of two sophomores on the S.O. Cabinet, Sadia Rahman '20 and Ayesha Khan '20. This is the first major event either of these two girls organized, and both were extremely excited to get to work and bring the holiday cheer to Bronx Science.
They planned a very successful day, with everything from a dance floor with a DJ, holiday-themed games, prizes, and an ugly sweater contest. Both students and teachers enjoyed their time spent there, as it was all done in good spirits. The S.O. had put in a lot of work and effort to put together the event and spent many days after school to get the work done and put it together. Khan said, "It took some time and a lot of teamwork to put this event together, but we all think it was very worthwhile."
"The music was really nice, and although I didn't dance, it was nice to have some tunes to jam to in the background!" said Rosanna Fu '20.
The dance floor was full of flashing, multicolored lights and happy people. The music was very enjoyable, as it was chosen by the students themselves in a poll sent out a week prior to the event. "The music was really nice, and although I didn't dance, it was nice to have some tunes to jam to in the background!" said Rosanna Fu '20.
The games consisted of character-themed bean bag tosses, bowling, and a game where one tries to knock over stacked cans. They were very much enjoyed by all who were there. "I had a lot of fun during the Winter Wonderland! I was pretty good at the beanbag toss game, and the music was great," said Emma Vassilio '19. Students agreed that the event was fun and engaging. They felt that the event was a good way for the students to destress and relax in a school environment, especially after midterms and tests.
Students playing one of the many games placed around the cafeteria during the Winter Wonderland event.
Both students and teachers enjoyed the event thoroughly. There were multiple teachers present during each period, assigned the job of chaperoning. A few, such as Mr. Walker from the Mathematics department, tried their hand at some of our games. Others took a peek at the prize box, which was where you could exchange the tickets won at the games for a small keepsake. The prizes included holiday themed stickers, temporary tattoos, bead necklaces, and plastic glasses. These were a great way to show some holiday cheer throughout the school day. Stations for temporary tattoo applications were set up with buckets of water.
As much fun we had this year, there will always be ways to improve it. Thinking forward to next year, some ideas that were suggested to the S.O. Cabinet are to get better quality prizes, as the faux glasses tended to break easily, and to have a better selection of music. The latter problem could easily be solved if more students filled out the song request form that is always emailed to students prior to an event.

HEIKO & REBECCA
Heiko, born and raised in Germany, is an RYA Offshore Yachtmaster. He left his job in IT management in 2014 to begin his dream to travel. Initially intending to be away for about a year, he soon realized that going back to an office-based job did not feel right for him anymore. Since then he has travelled throughout South and Central America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. During this time he visited 30+ countries, speed-hiked the Camino de Santiago, hiked up 5000m high mountains, learned to speak Spanish, went scuba and freediving around the world and had many more beautiful experiences above and below the water. He is a Freediving Instructor, Divemaster and Yoga Instructor. Heiko loves to be out in the blue of the ocean and enjoys sharing his passions as a guide by creating safe and unique experiences.
Rebecca was born and raised in New York City but has lived all around the world since 2004. After graduating from NYU in 2002 with B.A. in Economics & Psychology, Rebecca worked in the financial services industry in New York and Hong Kong. A trip to Australia in 2005 changed her life completely - she learned to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef and fell completely in love with scuba diving. Two years later, she left the concrete jungle and trading floor for real jungles and sea floors.
She spent two months diving her way around the Philippines, three months on a marine conservation expedition in Madagascar and four months completing her Divemaster internship in Malaysia. Afterwards, life took an unexpected turn and she found herself living in Sweden for a year, where she discovered her love for sailing and life afloat. Still holding onto her dream to teach scuba and share the underwater world with others, she put her plans for sailing to the Caribbean on hold to become a PADI Instructor and has worked in Thailand, Hawaii and Indonesia for a decade. She loves life in the tropics, surrounded by water, nature and wildlife and thrives on sharing her passions with her guests.
Heiko and Rebecca obtained their RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualifications together in Gibraltar in 2020, sailing thousands of miles along the coasts of Spain, Portugal and Morocco, dodging the infamous orcas along the way.
They are passionate about providing a highly professional level of service in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere while creating the most memorable experiences for their guests. They love getting to know you and tailoring each charter to your preferences and desires, allowing you to kick back, relax and enjoy. With a deep love and respect for the natural world, they maintain a strong focus on environmentally aware hospitality and best practices to ensure minimal impact on the environment.
The food is a big part of your experience on board and you can expect to be well taken care of by this food-loving duo. You will be treated to a variety of breads and baked goods, freshly baked on board by Heiko, while Rebecca will take you on a culinary tour around the world, creating fresh, flavorful dishes inspired by her many years of travel and living in different countries. They are happy to cater to a variety of dietary requirements.
Heiko and Rebecca are back for another charter season in the Virgin Islands after a very successful first season running charters on 3 Sisters. This dynamic couple is excited to be on Felix for 2021/22 and look forward to welcoming you onboard, showing you the wonders of the Virgin Islands and creating memories to last a lifetime!

Q: Inverting a Coordinate Transformation Given $x(s,t)=s+t$ and $y(s,t)=st$ is it possible to find $s$ and $t$ as functions of $x$ and $y$?
I'm given a function $f(x,y)=x^2+xy+y^2$ and told it is expressed as $h(s,t)$ where $x(s,t)=s+t$ and $y(s,t)=st$. It asks to find the partial derivative of $h$ with respect to $t$ in Cartesian coordinates, but when I apply the chain rule I end up with:
$h_t=2x+2y+(2y+x)s$ and I can't figure out how to invert the transformation to covert the $s$ into $x$'s and $y$'s. Any ideas?

A: Sure. Think about this: you need to wind up with $s(x,y)$ and $t(x,y)$, but for example, $s(x,y)$ can't depend on $t$. So how would you go about removing $t$ from the system of equations you have? Take a good hard look at
$$\begin{align}
x &= s + t &
y &= st
\end{align}$$
and think about what you could do that would leave you without a $t$.

By far the most impactful portion from Coates' book for me was the quote from Richard Wright that was used as the epigraph, and from which Coates draws the title of the book: Between the World and Me. The epigraph so aptly and perfectly describes the book (as epigraphs are meant to do), but it goes beyond the primary theme of a caring father describing his racial experience within the US to his son. Every reader should be able to identify with the epigraph, even those who have not personally experienced anything Coates writes about - especially those who haven't experienced those things - because through those six lines of poetry, the reader realizes they may have been living in those exact woods. That's certainly what happened with me; I lived a rather sheltered life until I came to KU, where I was constantly being exposed to these new stories and narratives - I had stumbled into that "grassy clearing" - and as soon as I looked closer, I too saw the "sooty details of the scene" rise in front of me. I finally noticed the strife people of color live through every day; I finally recognized just how different their lives were from mine. So, even though the epigraph doesn't provide the details that I'd find in Coates book, it was incredibly influential simply because it stated beautifully how I came to see these differences that are present in our country, and I think it will do the same for many others.

Like those 2 scarves, I started by cutting 2 pieces of fabric each being 12in. x 2yds. Placing the right sides together so that the wrong sides are facing out, I pinned the pieces together.
Since I had trouble folding under the end of the fabric that was getting tucked to create the infinity scarf, I pre-ironed so that my tucked seams would hopefully be flatter, since they would be sewn down.
Then stitch along the both sides of the scarf and turned inside out.
Because the Star Wars fabric (100% cotton) had been previously ironed and was paired with fleece, I just used my fingers to press the sides down and pin it in order to get it ready for the final top stitch. I also joined the to ends together and pinned them in place.
I started at the tucked seam of the infinity scarf and topstitched all the way around. When I got back to my starting point I lifted the sewing foot so I could sew down the tucked seam, using it as a bridge to sew continuously to the other side so that I could topstitch that side as well.
It was such a beautiful piece of art that I have decided I to make one for myself. It is soooo warm and cozy. Oh, yeah.
Here's to a Star Wars decorated neck this winter!


At EcotecWorld we are an established energy and environmental products supplier, with solar and other energy projects taking place worldwide. We recently partnered up with Radiation Watch as exclusive distributors for the Pocket Geiger Counter in the UK and Europe.
Radiation-watch.org is an open and non-profit project to develop inexpensive and smart radiation detectors for everyone, especially in and around Fukushima, Japan.
The project was been funded by 167 backers from around the world via Kickstarter.com in the wake of the nuclear accident in Japan, and is now supported by volunteer scientists, engineers and designers. They have shipped over 12,000 Pocket Geiger Counter detectors to Japanese people. Their factory is located in the city of Ishinomaki in Japan, which lived through and survived the Tsunami disaster.
We are proud to support this project and in our own small way help contribute job security and economic recovery in such devastated areas. For more information, have a click on the link below.


Depending on someone's background, environment, and circle of influence, the idea of success is often very intertwined with material possessions. Physical, temporary things like money, accomplishments, houses, cars, clothing, and popularity. In my own personal experience, being successful has nothing to do with money, property ownership, or material possessions, and it has everything to do with how authentic someone is. Hands down, the happiest people I've ever met, all fall into one category. They are the most in tune with their authentic selves.
They are honest – Not only are they honest with themselves, but they are honest with others. Every interaction we have, be it business, friendship, or romance, has a potential to be enhanced and deepened by honesty. The same goes for our relationship with ourselves. The more honest and open we are with ourselves, the more at peace we are contemplating and addressing our innermost thoughts and desires.
They understand that integrity is everything – When you operate from a very authentic place, you want to make sure you're treating people as you would want to be treated. If you start living by the golden rule, it starts to show up in other facets of your experience. I do believe it comes back around.
They laugh at their own limitations – Some people take themselves very seriously. They attempt to micromanage every aspect of their lives. This may provide some temporary peace of mind for they analytical types, but usually, if just one thing goes wrong, or different, then their whole world comes crashing down. If you can laugh at yourself, and not take yourself too seriously, it's gonna save you a lot of pain and headaches in the long run.
They love learning – Several studies show a direct link between overall happiness, and personal growth. Learning something new every day, about the world, the universe, people, places, things, and having an INTEREST in something, and a passion to discover more, will keep you authentic and make you personally successful.
They are present – Whether it's prayer or meditation, it keeps you in the moment. Living in the past, or the future, pulls us out of the present moment. Being authentic is being present. Living the experience, the moment.
They are retrospective – While remaining present, it's also necessary to look back on life lessons. How can we lead ourselves to a higher level? How can we take what we learned last week, and apply to to this present moment.
They truly love who they are – Self love is absolutely vital when being authentic. Taking the shadows and flaws of who you are, and accepting them. Demonstrate in your own experience that the ups and downs are a part of the journey. Being authentic is loving everything about us that makes us who we are.
Like I always say, being present and authentic is the key to happiness with your past, in the present, and in the future. If you liked this Mindset Monday, please leave a comment about your quest toward authenticity, and stay tuned for my upcoming video series of mindset tools and practices to add more happiness and positivity to your life.


Felicity says, "I grew up (a long time ago!) in a small bush town in Africa. No TV, iPods, computer games and surfing the internet -- you could say I had a very deprived childhood! Not so. Instead, for entertainment I learned to read. Books became my windows to the world: they told me about dragons and fairies and magic. They told me about other countries and other cultures. They told me about myself. And I have never stopped reading, because I love stories."
It's always good to hear from readers (young and old) that they've loved your latest book. It gives you the confidence and the courage to continue writing! But criticism can also be useful - so long as it's constructive!
I really enjoy writing timeslip stories, and I enjoy reading them too. Connie Willis and Kate Mosse are particular favourites. I also enjoy crime novels, by Elizabeth George in particular.
Shakespeare -- whoever he is!
Can I take my family? Plus books, pens and notebooks.
It's the characters in my novels that fascinate me: their relationship to each other, their outlook on life, their motivation and behaviour. Exploring fictional characters helps me understand our world and the society we live in, and I hope my books will help readers find the same insights, or at least encourage them to think about the issues I raise.
Being able to time travel to other places, other times, Otherworlds and walk with my characters through their adventures there.
Born: Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) a LONG time ago!
Resides: I've lived in Australia since 1970.
Novels for children and teenagers include: A Ring Through Time, Ghost Boy, The Janna Mysteries, the Shalott trilogy, Surfing the Future, Turning the Page, two Guinevere Jones novels based on the TV series, Three's a Crowd and (nonfiction) Wally the Water Dragon and The Little Penguins of Manly. I, Morgana (an exploration of the most reviled -- and fascinating -- woman in Arthurian legend) is my most recent novel and my first book for adults. Several books have won awards or have made the CBCA Notable list. I've also written numerous short stories that have also won awards (inc. the inaugural Queen of Crime award) and have been published in a wide variety of journals and magazines.
I'm also on fb, twitter and pinterest.

What keeps you up at night?
Salinas Valley Growers doing what they do best - Gowing their future leaders
Bruce Taylor serves as chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms, headquartered in America's lettuce bowl, Salinas, Calif. Taylor Farms has 14 facilities in North America. In a recent interview, he talked about human capital, innovation, leadership, and entrepreneurialism. When asked "what keeps him up at night" Mr. Taylor expressed what most business owners would probably agree is a topic for insomnia:
HUMAN CAPITAL: "Trying to figure out how to generate the human capital to keep growing. We have a very complicated business, and it has been difficult to find transferable industries where we can just re-pot someone. So, we tend to be homegrown leaders. "When you're growing at 10%, 12% a year of a large base, you need a lot of new leaders, and that's the challenge we're finding right now.
SOLUTION: As an industry effort, the message really for college graduates is what used to be the produce business is now the food business. It's a very sophisticated, high-tech business. People love the thought of growing and producing food for fellow Americans. They understand the challenges and the opportunities from a career perspective. What we try to do is spread our story so people understand that, at Taylor Farms, there are software jobs, there are engineering jobs, there are marketing jobs, there are social media jobs."
So, what keeps you up at night?

Q: Convert json mapping object to managed csv row using bash script I have json mapping under properties key as below in a file Customer.json,
{
    "customer": {
        "properties": {
            "customerId": {
                "type": "string",
                "index": "not_analyzed"
            },
            "name": {
                "type": "string",
                "index": "not_analyzed"
            }
        }
    }
}

Which I want to convert into following with key and displayName duplicated and type from above mapping,
field(key: 'customerId',     displayName: 'customerId', type: 'String')
field(key: 'name',           displayName: 'name',       type: 'String')

I hit and tried bash + python as below assuming it fetched customer key first and loops inside properties ,
$ cat Customer.json | python -c 'import sys; import simplejson as json; \
print "\n".join( [i["properties"] for i in json.loads( sys.stdin.read() )["customer"]] )'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str

I'm open to other solutions as well.

A: The error seems clear to me, the variable "i" is a string as the for loop iterates over the value of "customer" dict/mapping. That value is a dict/mapping itself and iterating over it will get you the succesion of the list of keys (i.e. ["properties"].
cat Customer.json |  python -c 'import sys; import simplejson as json; \
print "\n".join( [i for i in json.loads( sys.stdin.read() )["customer"]["properties"] ] )'

will give you
 customerid
 name

and the following should get you closer to your goal:
cat Customer.json |  python -c 'import sys; import simplejson as json; \
print "\n".join( ["{} {}".format(k, v) for k,v in json.loads( sys.stdin.read() )["customer"]["properties"].iteritems() ] )'

which gives:
customerId {'index': 'not_analyzed', 'type': 'string'}
name {'index': 'not_analyzed', 'type': 'string'}

From there I would recommend you actually make the python in a script. You will have to decide on how to get from string to String and do the additional  formatting. A multiliner is always more easy to debug (case proven by your Question) and maintainable and gives more meaningful (line numbers) error messages.

A: Parsing such structured data is best done using a dedicated parser, just as you are doing. However, in this particular case, it is simple enough that you could do:
$ grep -B 1 '"type":' Customer.json | tr $'"' $"'" | sed 's/[:,]//g' |
    awk '{print "field(key: "$1",\tdisplayName: "$1",\t type: "$NF")"}' RS="--"

Which returns:
field(key: 'customerId',    displayName: 'customerId',   type: 'string')
field(key: 'name',  displayName: 'name',     type: 'string')

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is known for her unfiltered approach to her political views. Since being elected in the 2018 midterm elections, she's risen in the ranks of becoming one of the United States' most famous Democrats, but many disregard the Democratic-Socialist as inspiring yet not so logical when it comes to presenting arguments in the political arena.
In a recent poll released by the Siena College Research Institute, it showed that AOC's approval rating is low at 31% among New York voters with 2/3 respondents saying that they strongly support the Amazon HQ deal that Ocasio-Cortez vehemently fought against. Moreover, President Donald Trump is polling higher among New Yorkers with a 36% favorable rating. And, while a growing number of Democrats now view her as a liability, Republican Michele Nix, a Republican candidate to become a Congresswoman in North Carolina, has released an advertisement slamming AOC as a face of the Democratic party.
Recently, Ocasio-Cortez's campaign financing came into question amidst calls of "dark money" being used in propelling her to her congressional seat, and she was quietly removed from the board of the Justice Democrats PAC along with her chief-of-staff Saikat Chakrabarti who also co-founded the PAC.
While Ocasio-Cortez has slammed the accusations of wrongdoing, the controversy regards neither Ocasio-Cortez or Chakrabarti reporting to the Federal Election Commission of their leadership role in the PAC. They had "legal control over the entity," and Justice Democrats was contributing money to Ocasio-Cortez's campaign.
If it's revealed that her campaign and the PAC were operating together, then it appears that both Chakrabarti and Ocasio-Cortez could face time in jail.

Interview with Gary Metallic, Sr.: We support the blockade and I think a lot of our people support it too
Video by Ni Québec, ni Canada, transcribed by MTL Counter-info
Call for Supporters from Gary Metallic here
Gary Metallic: My name is Gary Metallic. I'm the District Chief of the Gespegawagi Overseers Tribal Council.
Frank Sorby: And I'm Frank Sorby, subchief of Gespegawagi Tribal Council.
Ni Quebec Ni Canada: We're here to talk about what's going on around the Junex company, Galt projects and the blockade. What do you think about what's going on?
GM: What do we think? From what we've heard, we support the blockade, and I think a lot of our people support it. We don't want oil or fracking exploration or extraction being done on our territory because it's going to hurt the environment, water, wildlife and so forth.
FS: Basically, you said it all.
NQNC: What do you think about all those people who want to be in relation to Mi'gmaq people and fight together against this project that is devastating the land?
GM: I think we have to form those alliances because, as we spoke about earlier, it's okay to have protests and blockades but that alone will not be enough to stop whatever governments and mining, gas, oil, or fracking are trying to do. They have the courts at their service and it's just a matter of time before they're dismantled. But we have to form the alliance that we talked about, where our legal defence in Aboriginal title claim is combined with what your people are trying to do over there. When we put the two together, it would be, I think, very hard for Quebec to challenge Aboriginal title.
NQNC: What do you think of this resurgence of settlers who want to make links of solidarity and struggle with indigenous people, in this case with Mi'gmaq people, in different ways and on different fronts?
GM: Well our position has always been, as the 7th District Tribal Council, we have to co-exist. No one's going anywhere. We've lived together several hundred years. May have not been the most peaceful relationship, but right now the way things are going, governments and corporate raiders are destroying our lands and resources, and environment. And it's time for the people to stop them. And the only way to do it is to form these alliances, whether it's Mi'gmaq, French, Acadian, English, this is the only way that our voices will be heard.
NQNC: What did you think about the reaction of Manon Jeannotte, the band-council chief of Gespeg?
GM: It's a typical reaction from a band-council, especially if they are doing business with governments and oil and gas companies. I think that's what we have here in the district, that's the relationship that has existed since, I believe, 2005. And just her statement alone, saying that if we did oppose what's happening in the oil extraction or gas by Junex or Squatex, they would meet face to face. But they've already been meeting face to face for almost a decade. And I don't think they have any intentions of opposing what's going on, based on her statement.
NQNC: What should be done right now?
GM: Right now, as I mentioned earlier, the alliances have to be formed, together with the people who are at the site, and our traditional Tribal District governments. We have the means to provide the legal and constitutional arguments that this land still belongs to us. Quebec had no business or no history giving any licenses to anybody without our consent, so what we do is challenge them on that. And I think bringing up this Aboriginal title land claim, with the constitutional arguments that go with it, that it's still unceded Mi'gmaq lands, we will get their attention for sure.
NQNC: Why do you think that a lot of environmental groups, mostly settlers, don't understand the relationship between capitalism and the band-councils? Like they don't take this into consideration when they speak about relations with indigenous people. This makes a lot of people mixed up and surprised about band-councils signing agreements with companies, or just supporting, or just not resisting or whatever…
GM: Well that's a big problem, because even we have that amongst ourselves. Our own people don't understand it. Because of these back room, closed-door negotiations with governments and oil and gas companies, we don't know what's going on. But we as the traditional district government know that the relationship is not legitimate. Because there is a definition of band-councils and the traditional ancestral governing systems. And that means that traditional ancestral systems were here long before the band-councils were created in 1876. And therefore, the band-councils are only a federal entity, actually one entity negotiating itself for land claims and rights. And that's the key. Our defence for court purposes, is that specifically points that out. And to add to that, we also have that clause for co-existence with non-native settlers, that this can be done easily. As I said, we've lived together for over a century.
NQNC: Outside of this situation, and more largely, what do you think we can build as a relation in more concrete ways, to build better relations between indigenous and non-indigenous people?
GM: Better relations, I think there is one common factor that will bind us all together. Mother Earth and the resources have to be protected. Because if you look around the globe and what's happening, global warming and so forth, water being contaminated like in North Dakota. If water is contaminated, water provides life to everyone, humans and species. Now if we don't protect that, if we can't do that as human beings, well what's going to happen?
And the other reason why we have to form these alliances and co-exist is our governments, whether federal or provincial, have done a terrible job of managing our lands and resources, as we can see today. The result of it is global warming. We have scientists saying that if this doesn't stop, the use of fossil fuels, mankind will just disappear, almost like the dinosaurs. But nobody is listening. So the alliances between our people have to be formed, to take that authority back from these governments that have abused the authority that was given to them. Either by your system, the voting system, and our people have to now assert that aboriginal title, and take that back as well. And that's where the co-existence will come in.

The colors you use for your store design, from the colors of your logo to the colors of your promotional signage, can have a profound impact on your shoppers, and thoughtfully choosing the right colors and developing a cohesive strategy can greatly impact shopper engagement and, ultimately, sales.
Color influences perception. Every color used in your store tells a story that will determine how shoppers perceive your merchandise.
The right store color can enhance your message and overall brand appeal. In fact, color psychology can lead to fewer objections to the purchase, irrespective of the price. Basically, color can have a huge impact on customer experience, engagement and store sales.
In this post, I'll take you through four ways store colors can influence shoppers.
The right store colors can create a distinct brand story which is hard to ignore. A study shows that color increases brand recognition by up to 80 percent.
In many ways, store colors become a silent language which subconsciously influences shoppers' brand perceptions. That's why it's important to find consistency when using store colors. Frequent changes in color patterns can confuse customers about what your brand truly represents.
Say you want to label your store as a 'funky' brand. Use color schemes which include orange, yellow, and pink — representing youthfulness, happiness, and excitement respectively.
You can't expect shoppers to buy anything if they don't feel 'safe' around your store. One of the reasons for this insecurity is the negative preconceived notion shoppers have already built in their minds.
To assure shoppers of safety and bring reliability to your store, use the color of trust — blue. Due to its association with the sky and ocean, blue has a calming effect. That's why blue is extensively used by many banks and insurance companies.
However, keep in mind that blue also represents sadness and depression (remember, Monday blues). It's important to use the right shade of blue to put shoppers at ease.
Citibank has perfectly mastered the art of using blue to represent reliability and trustworthiness.
Shopping holidays like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Boxing Day, to name a few, are a time when you should experiment with different colors to market your store.
But, don't keep these colors limited to your store, take it online. Create a comprehensive digital marketing strategy to convert online engagement into in-store visits. Your holiday marketing will have a greater impact when your color scheme remains consistent on both offline and online channels.
An effective way of increasing online engagement is through holiday email marketing. Use the same color schemes in the holiday emailers to keep consistency. There's a good chance that 20 percent of your holiday sales will be coming from this channel.
One of the popular colors used during Black Friday is a mix of strong to vivid shades of yellow (gold), black, and red. Here are a couple of examples.
Blackberry, Ralph Lauren, Adidas, and many more brands use black as part of their store color. Black can make an expensive cologne and a cheap lipstick look all the same — it's the signature color of sophistication.
However, don't go overboard with black. It can make your store seem depressing or even menacing — shoppers would exit your store faster than they entered.
The perfect shade of black mixed with a light color can make you store look classy.
No matter which color you choose, the important thing is keeping coherence with your store colors. If shoppers observe an inconsistency at any section of your store, chances are they will not browse through that part of the store. This not only affects your sales but leads to an uncomfortable store experience — ensuring customers will never come back again.

Kevin got a new photography toy! They call it a beauty dish. It's supposed to distribute light perfectly across the model you're shooting.
[source] Don't let the name of the product fool you, it will not drastically improve the beauty of your subject. Especially if that subject just started up with spin classes after a 3 month hiatus, is busy getting ready for her trip to India, and just completed a 16 hour work day.
(pretty sure I was in the middle of a sneeze in the third picture. So attractive, but so totally me) Then we moved on to playing around with his wireless triggerinig system… Pebbles was brought into the mix too.
Recommendation: your model should be an actual model. Oh, and their retinas should be stronger than the average human. Those lights burn, baby! Once I recovered from the trauma of chasing blue honeycomb shapes around with my eyes, I became hungry and skipped off to the kitchen; yes, literally skipped, to create something I'd never attempted before. Do you ever get an overly creative recipe idea and just run with it without doing any research? Do they ever turn out right? Mine don't. Ever. Case and point – chia butter.
Don't let the pretty pictures fool you as they did me. Replacing the flour in a recipe with ground flax seed will give you the blandest cupcakes known to man. Thankfully the cream cheese icing was delicious. In my defense, not all of my creative ideas have been a total bust. I combined pureed pumpkin and coconut butter randomly and ended up with the best no bake treat I've ever made… but I digress. So what had me skipping to the kitchen? A savory coconut flour pizza crust! It was going to be epic. High in protein, fiber, thin, crunchy and perfect.
It was thin… but far from perfect. It was mushy, too sweet, burnt and tasted horrible. I couldn't bring myself to throw out the whole pizza, so I scraped off the toppings, added it to a bowl of greens and enjoyed a pesto and shrimp salad instead. There were little pieces of coconut crust in the mix, sort of like soggy croutons at the bottom of an old salad. Mmmm… Thankfully the Thai basil pesto I'd whipped up for the sauce of the pizza ended up stealing the show, making my evening in the kitchen worth it's while.

Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) has said that he will take step back from road racing as he looks to close out his career on the track. A couple of hours after taking silver in the team pursuit at the Commonwealth Games, Wiggins told reporter Jill Douglas that any road racing he would do would "have to compliment what I want to do on the track."

"The road will have to take a back seat, we will use the road to compliment it but the priority will be the track. I said at the end that it would probably be the end for grand tours," he told the BBC. "I can't imagine doing that with what it's going to take to get up to speed with these guys. I've kind of been and done it, thanks God, this has to take priority if we want to take golds."
Wiggins said that on top of an increased training programme on the track, he would have to make physical changes. The 2012 Tour de France champion explained that the demands of the track would require him to gain weight. His decision comes as a surprise after he recently stated that he had secured a new contract with his road outfit Team Sky. Wiggins admitted that a move to the track may place his position in jeopardy.
"Team Sky has become so competitive now and winning grand tours and places are scarce. Whether or not they have a place for an ex-grand tour winner to just use the racing to prepare for the track. That's to be discussed and we're in discussions at the moment about it," said Wiggins.
"I want to make sure that I build the road programme around it. I don't want to miss things on the track because of my commitments on the road so it would have to complement what I want to do on the track."
Wiggins began his career on the track and became national champion in the Madison, with Rob Hayles, in 1999. He made his road debut in 2001 with the Linda McCartney team. However, he would continue to focus heavily on his track hopes and went on to take three Olympic Gold medals and six world titles on the track before he decided to give it up at the end of 2008. The Brit immediately showed signs of promise and finished fourth in the 2009 Tour de France – he was later awarded third when Lance Armstrong was disqualified.
A fragile character, Wiggins has often struggled with the nature of road cycling. During his 2012 Tour de France title bid, Wiggins fell out with his teammate Chris Froome. His relationship with team Sky has also been tense at times. Wiggins says that these struggles have been a factor in his decision to put road racing to one side.
"I've kind of done the road and I've bled it dry and I don't enjoy it any more. The road has become so political and so much red tape," he explained. "The track feels more like a family and a closer knit group of people and you've got to work for each other. The road is quite cut throat. As we've seen this year there's no loyalties in cycling, it's about putting the strongest team forward to win a bike race. That's fantastic as proven success, but it's not necessarily the most enjoyable thing. I've had my time there and I've had success with it but things move on."
Wiggins confirmed earlier this week that he would not ride the road programme at the Commonwealth Games. His post-games programme is still unconfirmed. He was expected to ride the Vuelta a España, however that may change with his recent declarations.

Japan's bitter vaccine history creates obstacles in the COVID-19 fight
With agreements to secure more coronavirus vaccines than it needs and legislation to distribute it for free, Japan may seem to have its inoculation plans in place. Nevertheless, a tense general history with vaccines and a cautious approval process have some concerns about how quickly the country can return to normal.
Japan has one of the lowest rates of vaccine confidence in the world, according to a Lancet study, which showed that less than 30% of the population agreed that vaccines were safe, important and effective, compared to at least 50% of Americans. A recent survey by NHK found that 36% said they did not want to take a COVID-19 vaccine.
The government is now facing a tricky balancing act: trying to go fast to approve jabs to restore the economy to full health, while avoiding creating the impression of a drug job – which could help turn an already skeptical public from being inoculated.
"Japan is very careful with vaccines, because historically there have been problems with potential side effects," said Haruka Sakamoto, a public health researcher at the University of Tokyo. "The government has been involved in several lawsuits related to the issue, which increases their deep caution."
Careful timeline
The skeptical attitude takes precedence over the more recent Western "anti-wax" view that has flourished on social media, with its roots instead in previous vaccine-linked events and legal decisions that encouraged the government to take a passive approach to vaccination.
And ironically, Japan's relative success in dealing with the pandemic means that an urgent rollout of the shot is less of a priority. The country has avoided a second state of emergency, although cases have risen to record levels.
As a result, Japan's launch will be slower than some other nations, which has led to frustration among those counting on vaccines to eradicate the virus. To date, Pfizer Inc. alone has applied for local approval for its coronavirus shot, although the United Kingdom and the United States have both administered more than half a million doses, mostly to the elderly and healthcare professionals.
Local media have reported that vaccines will be rolled out in Japan from the end of February, when the government aims to inoculate about 10,000 frontline health workers. The ministry is then preparing to vaccinate general medical staff, after which it will be gradually administered to the wider population. Japan has not indicated when it intends to complete its vaccination program.

While figures such as US Vice President Mike Pence and President-elect Joe Biden have received the dose, and leaders such as Indonesian President Joko Widodo are voluntarily the first to receive it in their countries, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has said he will wait for his lucky.
Health Minister Norihisa Tamura said on Friday that he had asked relevant bodies to prioritize the review of Pfizer's application, but did not provide a timeline for approval. A spokesman for the Ministry of Health also declined to comment on the reported timeline.
MMR problem
Japan's modern vaccine problems have their roots in measles, mumps and rubella vaccination, some of which are suspected to lead to higher rates of aseptic meningitis in the early 1990s. Although no final link was established, the shots were interrupted and on this day, Japan does not recommend a combined MMR shot.
Another catalyst was a 1992 court decision that not only made the government responsible for any side effects related to vaccines but also prescribed that suspected side effects should be considered as side effects, says Tetsuo Nakayama, professor at Kitasato Institute for Life Sciences whose research focuses on vaccines. Two years later, the government revised a vaccination law and abolished compulsory vaccinations.
These events helped send a message that vaccinations should be taken at your own risk and diluted awareness of vaccination as a greater public benefit, says Mikihito Tanaka, a professor at Waseda University who specializes in science communication.
"Japan has a strong health insurance system and an available medical system," he said. "Compared to places like the United States, it makes the incentive to play their health with a new vaccine very low."
The use of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is also widespread in public memory. Following media coverage of allegations that the vaccine's side effects included severe headaches and seizures, the Ministry of Health in 2013 withdrew its recommendation on the shot, which has been shown to be safe and effective in preventing cervical cancer. Although it remained available on request, the vaccination rate dropped from 70% to less than 1% at present. That could have led to another 5,700 deaths, according to a study.
'Wide shows'
Japan's drug approval requires clinical trials with Japanese people, but an emergency condition based on data from other countries is allowed. Vaccines for the H1N1 2009 flu pandemic received emergency approval after approximately three months of review.
The government still has to deal carefully with how the public experiences a rapid approval process. The economic consequences of the pandemic and the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo may lead to faster approval, but also raise suspicions as to whether the shots have been thoroughly investigated.
How the public will perceive some typical side effects also applies, Nakayama said. Initial data from the vaccines show local pain in 80% of cases and fatigue and headaches in up to 50%, but "there has never been a vaccine in Japan that has caused reactions at these levels," he said. The question begs questions that will ultimately determine public opinion on the scope of the launch.
Tanaka said he was particularly concerned about the influence of various news programs, which serve as both news and entertainment and are hugely influential in shaping the public, which will ultimately determine the extent of the launch.
"The final decision to take the vaccine or not will be made by the people," Health Minister Tamura said on Friday.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks or game day parties. With loads of shredded chicken, bacon, swiss cheese, and ranch flavor, these mini sandwiches are hearty and tasty!
It's been a month since our last slider recipe, and it's time to get back on track. We are currently on a mission to round up these delicious mini sandwiches in one place, and so far in our series, we have Philly cheesesteak, mini cheeseburgers with caramelized onions, and breakfast ham and cheese.
To add to the list are these chicken bacon ranch sliders which in my opinion are the best of the lot. While G is solid Team Philly, I can't get enough of the moist chicken bathed in creamy Ranch dressing and coupled with crisp bacon! I may or may not have eaten half the batch in one sitting.
Poaching is my one of my favorite cooking techniques and once a week, I cook a few pounds of chicken breasts using this method to have handy for soups, pasta, sandwiches, and salads.
To poach chicken breasts, arrange in a single layer in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add one quartered onion, a couple of smashed garlic cloves, bay leaf, about one tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top. Once the water has come to a boil, lower heat, cover, and cook in a barely a simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer inserted in the thickest part of chicken reads 165 F.
Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from the pot and reserve the broth for soups. Allow the chicken to cool to touch and then coarsely shred. Divide into resealable freezers and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
You can, of course, skip this step and use rotisserie or baked chicken. You'll need 3 cups of shredded chicken for the recipe.
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, crisp bacon crumbles, Ranch dressing, and Parmesan cheese.
If you want the chicken filling extra creamy, replace the dressing with cream cheese. With an electric mixer, beat an 8-ounce block of softened cream cheese until fluffy and stir in a 1-ounce packet of dry Ranch seasoning.
To keep the Hawaiian rolls from tearing when cutting into halves, use a serrated knife. Make sure to grease the baking dish with cooking spray to prevent the sliders from sticking.
I love the delicious medley of creamy Swiss and Ranch flavor here but feel free to substitute with cheddar, mozzarella, Muenster, Pepper Jack or any of your favorite cheese blend.
Brush the bread tops with a mixture of melted butter and Ranch seasoning.
You can also sprinkle them, if you like, with dried parsley, Poppy seeds or sesame seeds for a pop of color.
After assembly, cover with foil and bake in a 350 F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until filling is heated through and cheese is melted.
If you want a more toasted bread, remove the foil during the last one or two minutes and continue to bake uncovered.
Remove from the oven, cut into serving pieces, and enjoy immediately while they're hot and bubbly and OH SO yummy!
If by a very slim chance you have leftovers, individually wrap the sandwiches in foil and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, remove the foil and zap in the microwave for about 40 to 50 seconds or until warm.
Give these bacon ranch chicken sliders a try! They're a breeze to make and are perfect for feeding a large crowd.

In an attempt to avoid the cold days and dark nights, many people are jetting off on holiday, some in search of relaxation in the sunshine, others heading for fun on the ski slopes.
For many people, the weeks prior to a holiday, whether sun or snow filled, involve ticking items off the 'to do' list; ensuring travel documents are in place, booking insurances and for some people, that includes ensuring their Will is in place and up to date.
Whether you are intending to take risks in dangerous sports, travel to the far corners of the planet , be away for a long period or just venture into the unknown putting a Will in place can provide peace of mind and ensure that your concerns are alleviated in case anything happens to you while you are away.
In addition to a Will many of our clients also choose to put Lasting Powers of Attorney in place, alongside their Will. A Lasting Power of Attorney identifies someone who will make decisions on your behalf for you in relation to your property, your finances and your health and welfare if you are unable to for any reason. If you are involved in an accident or contract an illness or medical condition that affects your ability to make decisions the nominated person will step in to your shoes and manage your affairs for you.
Irrespective of the type of holiday you are taking – whether it involves high risk activity or simply relaxation – consider making a Will and a Lasting Powers of Attorney before you go. This will provide assurance for you and your loved ones. You can enjoy your travels with full peace of mind.
If you have a Will already – think about whether it needs updating. Will it work in the way you intend it to? Maybe you should think about updating it before you go?
If you would like further information regarding putting a Will or Lasting Powers of Attorney in place, please contact one of our specialist solicitors; Melanie Byrne or Paul Baker on 0161 6155554, by email to info@psg-law.co.uk or by visiting our Altrincham office.


The PulseTech® SPCS Pulse Charge System, with the 6.3-Watt solar panel, is ideal for maintenance of any 24-Volt lead-acid batteries in vehicles in long term storage indoors or out, when your vehicle is on the road or parked outside. All of PulseTech's solar panels have higher efficiency, higher quality crystalline silicon cells that pack more power per square inch and have a longer life than standard amorphous "thin film" solar cells. That means you can get the power you need in a sturdier, smaller-sized solar panel. Colored lights indicate AC charge status and battery conditioning.
The unit has the capacity to charge up to six 12-Volt batteries with groups of two batteries in series and the groups connected in parallel.
When your vehicle is in long-term storage, you can use the 24-Volt Pulse Charge System to keep your vehicle ready to go the first time you start it. When your vehicle is on the road or parked outside, the 200mA pulsing solar charger will, under normal conditions, offset the parasitic drain of the batteries. The solar panel is used to provide positive charge to the batteries when AC power is not available.
When your vehicle is no longer outside, you can take advantage of the PCS which is ideal for indoor or under cover stored vehicles. What sets this system apart is that there is no "float" charge with the potential to destroy batteries stored for long periods of time. The charge features is either on or off so you cannot overcharge the battery. The PCS monitors the battery system condition and if the voltage drops too low, the charger will come back on. The green light indicates whether the AC power is on or off. The yellow LED is lit when the AC power is charging and is off when the charge is complete. The red blinking LED shows you that our optimized high frequency pulsing technology is active 24 hours a day to reverse the naturally occurring process of battery sulfation - the main cause of battery failure. The pulse minimizes capacity robbing crystal lead sulfate buildup.

Two Children and 1 adult hit by lightning in Patterson Park
By: WMAR Staff
One adult and two children are doing better after they were struck by lightning in East Baltimore over the weekend.
The lightning strike happened around 4 p.m. on Saturday at Patterson Park in Canton. They were all rushed to the hospital and are expected to be okay.
The names and ages of the three hit have not been released at this time.
The chances of getting struck by lightning are rare, but it can happen. According to the National Weather Service, an average of about 50 people are killed by lightning every year.
So remember when thunder roars, go indoors. Getting inside a building is the best, and really only way, you can prevent being struck by lightning. If you can't get to a building or a car for safety, the National Weather Service says to stay away from open fields. If you're in a group, spread out to avoid the current traveling among group members.
Lastly, stay away from wet items, fences, and poles, for they don't attract lightning, but they are great conductors of electricity.

CBT for BPD
Finding a Therapist
Cognitive-behavioral treatments are the cornerstone of therapy for people with borderline personality disorder. Different types of cognitive-behavioral therapy, including two unique types that are used to help those specifically with BPD, can help people adopt healthy coping skills and achieve a good quality of life.
What Is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that targets the "cognitive" (thinking-related) and "behavioral" (action-related) aspects of a mental health condition.
The goal of CBT is to help you to reduce your symptoms by changing the way you think about or interpret situations, as well as the actions that you take in your daily life.
What to Expect From Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
CBT is very focused on the present, meaning that you do very little talking about your past. While you may talk to your therapist about how you came to think or behave the way you do, most of the therapy is focused on how your current ways of thinking/acting are related to your symptoms, and how to change these patterns.
CBT is also fairly directive, meaning that your therapist will often take an active role in your therapy session, giving you direct advice and guidance.
Because cognitive behavioral therapists operate under the assumption that your symptoms are in part related to patterns of thinking and behaving that you have learned over the course of many years, they believe that one or two hours of therapy each week will not produce any major change.
For this reason, most CBT therapists assign homework—they want you to work to change the patterns outside of the therapy session. So don't be surprised if you leave your CBT therapy session with handouts to read and homework sheets to complete.
While the basic principles of CBT can be helpful for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD), some experts have noted that the disorder requires specialized CBT techniques. Two unique cognitive-behavioral therapies that have been designed specifically for BPD are:
Schema-Focused Therapy
Both dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and schema-focused therapy have been shown to be effective in reducing BPD symptoms. DBT consists of both individual and group therapy sessions, as well as phone coaching sessions, where a person with BPD focuses on behavioral skills like:
Achieving mindfulness—paying attention to the present or living in the moment
Regulating emotions
Tolerating distress or conflict
Navigating relationships with other people
Achieving motivation to avoid unhealthy coping skills, like self-harm
Schema-focused therapy is based on the idea that personality disorders like BPD develop as a result of maladaptive thoughts or behaviors early on in life. People then develop unhealthy coping skills, like avoidance, to avoid triggering those thoughts or behaviors.
Schema-focused therapy is not like traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy in that it's more flexible and attuned to a person's emotions. It also requires a longer treatment period, ranging from one to four years.
Finding a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist
While CBT has been around for decades, it can be difficult to find a therapist who has been trained in this approach. If you are interested in finding a CBT therapist in your area, try the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy's Find-a-Therapist Directory.
If you are interested in finding a Dialectical Behavior therapist, try the Behavioral Tech Clinical Resources Directory. It's also a good idea to speak with your primary doctor or psychiatrist for a referral to ensure this is the right treatment plan for you.
