A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss, a structure of connected elements forming triangular units. The connected elements (typically straight) may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges. The basic types of truss bridges shown in this article have simple designs which could be easily analyzed by 19th- and early 20th-century engineers. A truss bridge is economical to construct because it uses materials efficiently.
The nature of a truss allows the analysis of the structure using a few assumptions and the application of Newton's laws of motion according to the branch of physics known as statics. For purposes of analysis, trusses are assumed to be pin jointed where the straight components meet. This assumption means that members of the truss (chords, verticals and diagonals) will act only in tension or compression. A more complex analysis is required where rigid joints impose significant bending loads upon the elements, as in a Vierendeel truss.
In the bridge illustrated in the infobox at the top, vertical members are in tension, lower horizontal members in tension, shear, and bending, outer diagonal and top members are in compression, while the inner diagonals are in tension. The central vertical member stabilizes the upper compression member, preventing it from buckling. If the top member is sufficiently stiff then this vertical element may be eliminated. If the lower chord (a horizontal member of a truss) is sufficiently resistant to bending and shear, the outer vertical elements may be eliminated, but with additional strength added to other members in compensation. The ability to distribute the forces in various ways has led to a large variety of truss bridge types. Some types may be more advantageous when wood is employed for compression elements while other types may be easier to erect in particular site conditions, or when the balance between labor, machinery and material costs have certain favorable proportions.
The inclusion of the elements shown is largely an engineering decision based upon economics, being a balance between the costs of raw materials, off-site fabrication, component transportation, on-site erection, the availability of machinery and the cost of labor. In other cases the appearance of the structure may take on greater importance and so influence the design decisions beyond mere matters of economics. Modern materials such as prestressed concrete and fabrication methods, such as automated welding, and the changing price of steel relative to that of labor have significantly influenced the design of modern bridges.
Because wood was in abundance, early truss bridges would typically use carefully fitted timbers for members taking compression and iron rods for tension members, usually constructed as a covered bridge to protect the structure. In 1820 a simple form of truss, Town's lattice truss, was patented, and had the advantage of not requiring high labor skills nor much metal. Few iron truss bridges were built in the United States before 1850.
Truss bridges became a common type of bridge built from the 1870s through the 1930s. Examples of these bridges still remain across the United States, but their numbers are dropping rapidly, as they are demolished and replaced with new structures. As metal slowly started to replace timber, wrought iron bridges in the U.S. started being built on a large scale in the 1870s. Bowstring truss bridges were a common truss design seen during this time, with their arched top chords. Companies like the Massillon Bridge Company of Massillon, Ohio and the King Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio became well-known companies, as they marketed their designs to different cities and townships. The bowstring truss design (photo) fell out of favor due to a lack of durability, and gave way to the Pratt truss design, which was stronger. Again, the bridge companies marketed their designs, with the Wrought Iron Bridge Company in the lead. As the 1880s and 1890s progressed, steel began to replace wrought iron as the preferred material. Other truss designs were used during this time, including the camel-back. By the 1910s, many states developed standard plan truss bridges, including steel Warren pony truss bridges. As the 1920s and 1930s progressed, some states, such as Pennsylvania, continued to build steel truss bridges, including massive steel through truss bridges for long spans. Other states, such as Michigan, used standard plan concrete girder and beam bridges, and only a limited number of truss bridges were built.
The truss may carry its roadbed on top, in the middle, or at the bottom of the truss. Bridges with the roadbed at the top or the bottom are the most common as this allows both the top and bottom to be stiffened, forming a box truss. When the roadbed is atop the truss it is called a deck truss (an example of this was the I-35W Mississippi River bridge). When the truss members are both above and below the roadbed it is called a through truss (an example of this application is the Pulaski Skyway), and where the sides extend above the roadbed but are not connected, a pony truss or half-through truss.
Sometimes both the upper and lower chords support roadbeds, forming a double-decked truss. This can be used to separate rail from road traffic or to separate the two directions of automobile traffic and so avoiding the likelihood of head-on collisions.
Since through truss bridges have supports located over the bridge deck, they are susceptible to being hit by overheight loads when used on highways - the I-5 Skagit River Bridge collapsed after such a strike, and such impacts were common and required frequent repairs before the collapse.
Sky Gate Bridge R at Kansai International Airport, Osaka, Japan, is the longest double-decked truss bridge in the world. It carries three lanes of automobile traffic on top and two of rail below over nine truss spans.
The Hart Bridge is a continuous, cantilevered truss bridge with an unusual design that combines a suspended road deck on the Script error: No such module "convert". main span and through truss decks on the adjacent approach spans.
Bridges are the most widely known examples of truss use. There are many types, many dating back hundreds of years. Below are some of the more common designs.
The Allan truss, designed by Percy Allan, is partly based on the Howe truss. The first Allan truss was completed on 13 August 1894 over Glennies Creek at Camberwell, New South Wales and the last Allan truss bridge was built over Mill Creek near Wisemans Ferry in 1929. Completed in March 1895, the Tharwa Bridge located at Tharwa, Australian Capital Territory, was the second Allan truss bridge to be built, the oldest surviving bridge in the Australian Capital Territory and the oldest, longest continuously used Allan truss bridge. Completed in November 1895, the Hampden Bridge in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia, the first of the Allan truss bridges with overhead bracing, was originally designed as a steel bridge but was constructed with timber to reduce cost. In his design, Allan used Australian ironbark for its strength. A similar bridge also designed by Percy Allen is the Victoria Bridge on Prince Street, Picton, New South Wales. Also constructed of ironbark, the bridge is still in use today for pedestrian and light traffic.
Bailey bridge over the Meurthe River, France.
Designed for military uses, the prefabricated and standardized truss elements may be easily combined in various configurations to adapt to the needs at the site. In the image at right, note the use of doubled prefabrications to adapt to the span and load requirements. In other applications the trusses may be stacked vertically.
The Baltimore truss is a subclass of the Pratt truss. A Baltimore truss has additional bracing in the lower section of the truss to prevent buckling in the compression members and to control deflection. It is mainly used for rail bridges, showing off a simple and very strong design.
The Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge at Savage, Maryland is the only surviving example of a revolutionary design in the history of American bridge engineering. The type was named for its inventor, Wendel Bollman, a self-educated Baltimore engineer. It was the first successful all-metal bridge design (patented in 1852) to be adopted and consistently used on a railroad. The design employs wrought iron tension members and cast iron compression members. The use of multiple independent tension elements reduces the likelihood of catastrophic failure. The structure was also easy to assemble.
The Wells Creek Bollman Bridge is the only other bridge designed by Wendel Bollman still in existence, but it is a Warren truss configuration.
The bowstring arch through truss bridge was patented in 1841 by Squire Whipple. While similar in appearance to a tied-arch bridge, a bowstring truss is a truss and thus has diagonal load-bearing members. These diagonals result in a structure that more closely matches a Parker truss or Pratt truss than a true arch.
Brown truss illustrated. All interior vertical elements are under tension.
This type of truss is particularly suited for timber structures that use iron rods as tension members.
This combines an arch with a truss to form a structure both strong and rigid.
Most trusses have the lower chord under tension and the upper chord under compression. In a cantilever truss the situation is reversed, at least over a portion of the span. The typical cantilever truss bridge is a "balanced cantilever", which enables the construction to proceed outward from a central vertical spar in each direction. Usually these are built in pairs until the outer sections may be anchored to footings. A central gap, if present, can then be filled by lifting a conventional truss into place or by building it in place using a "traveling support". In another method of construction, one outboard half of each balanced truss is build upon temporary falsework. When the outboard halves are completed and anchor the inboard halves may then be constructed and the center section completed as described above.
The Fink truss was designed by Albert Fink of Germany in the 1860s. This type of bridge was popular with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The Appomattox High Bridge on the Norfolk and Western Railroad included 21 Fink deck truss spans from 1869 until their replacement in 1886.
The relatively rare Howe truss, patented in 1840 by Massachusetts millwright William Howe, includes vertical members and diagonals that slope up towards the center, the opposite of the Pratt truss. In contrast to the Pratt truss, the diagonal web members are in compression and the vertical web members are in tension. Examples include Jay Bridge in Jay, New York, and Sandy Creek Covered Bridge in Jefferson County, Missouri.
A truss in the form of a K due to the orientation of the vertical member and two oblique members in each panel. An example is the Südbrücke rail bridge over the River Rhine, Mainz, Germany (https://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/48902816).
This type of bridge uses a substantial number of lightweight elements, easing the task of construction. Truss elements are usually of wood, iron, or steel.
A lenticular truss bridge includes a lens-shape truss, with trusses between an upper arch that curves up and then down to end points, and a lower arch that curves down and then up to meet at the same end points. Where the arches extend above and below the roadbed, it is a lenticular pony truss bridge.
One type of lenticular truss consists of arcuate upper compression chords and lower eyebar chain tension links. The Royal Albert Bridge (United Kingdom) uses a single tubular upper chord. As the horizontal tension and compression forces are balanced these horizontal forces are not transferred to the supporting pylons (as is the case with most arch types). This in turn enables the truss to be fabricated on the ground and then to be raised by jacking as supporting masonry pylons are constructed. This truss has been used in the construction of a stadium, with the upper chords of parallel trusses supporting a roof that may be rolled back. The Smithfield Street Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is another example of this type.
An example of a lenticular pony truss bridge that uses regular spans of iron is the Turn-of-River Bridge designed and manufactured by the Berlin Iron Bridge Co..
Designed by Stephen H. Long in 1830. The design resembles a Howe truss, but is entirely made of wood instead of a combination of wood and metal. The longest surviving example is the Eldean Covered Bridge north of Troy, Ohio, spanning 224 feet. One of the earliest examples is the Old Blenheim Bridge, which with a span of 210 feet and a total length of 232 feet long was the second-longest covered bridge in the United States, until its destruction from flooding in 2011.
The Busching bridge, often erroneously used as an example of a Long truss, is an example of a Howe truss, as the verticals are metal rods. A Long truss has timber verticals.
"Camelback bridge" redirects here. For the concrete bridge type, see concrete curved-chord through girder bridge.
A Parker truss bridge is a Pratt truss design with a polygonal upper chord. A "camelback" is a subset of the Parker type, where the upper chord consists of exactly five segments. An example of a Parker truss is the Traffic Bridge in Saskatoon, Canada. An example of a camelback truss is the Woolsey Bridge near Woolsey, Arkansas.
The Pegram truss is a hybrid between the Warren and Parker trusses where the upper chords are all of equal length and the lower chords are longer than the corresponding upper chord. Because of the difference in upper and lower chord length, each panel is not square. The members which would be vertical in a Parker truss vary from near vertical in the center of the span to diagonal near each end (like a Warren truss). George H. Pegram, while the chief engineer of Edge Moor Iron Company in Wilmington, Delaware, patented this truss design in 1885.
The Pegram truss consists of a Parker type design with the vertical posts leaning towards the center at an angle between 60 and 75°. The variable post angle and constant chord length allowed steel in existing bridges to be recycled into a new span using the Pegram truss design. This design also facilitated reassembly and permitted a bridge to be adjusted to fit different span lengths. There are twelve known remaining Pegram span bridges in the United States with seven in Idaho, two in Kansas, and one each in California, Washington, and Utah.
Pennsylvania, or Petit truss illustrated.
The Pennsylvania (Petit) truss is a variation on the Pratt truss. The Pratt truss includes braced diagonal members in all panels; the Pennsylvania truss adds to this design half-length struts or ties in the top, bottom, or both parts of the panels. It is named after the Pennsylvania Railroad, which pioneered this design. It was once used for hundreds of bridges in the United States, but fell out of favor in the 1930s, and very few bridges of this design remain. Examples of this truss type include the Schell Bridge in Northfield, Massachusetts, the Inclined Plane Bridge in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and the Healdsburg Memorial Bridge in Healdsburg, California.
A Post truss is a hybrid between a Warren truss and a double-intersection Pratt truss. Invented in 1863 by Simeon S. Post, it is occasionally referred to as a Post patent truss although he never received a patent for it. The Ponakin Bridge and the Bell Ford Bridge are two examples of this truss.
A Pratt truss includes vertical members and diagonals that slope down towards the center, the opposite of the Howe truss. The interior diagonals are under tension under balanced loading and vertical elements under compression. If pure tension elements are used in the diagonals (such as eyebars) then crossing elements may be needed near the center to accept concentrated live loads as they traverse the span. It can be subdivided, creating Y- and K-shaped patterns. The Pratt truss was invented in 1844 by Thomas and Caleb Pratt. This truss is practical for use with spans up to 250 feet and was a common configuration for railroad bridges as truss bridges moved from wood to metal. They are statically determinate bridges, which lend themselves well to long spans. They were common in the United States between 1844 and the early 20th century.
Examples of Pratt truss bridges are the Governor's Bridge in Maryland, Dearborn River High Bridge near Augusta, Montana, built in 1897, and the Fair Oaks Bridge in Fair Oaks, California, built 1907-1909.
Scenic Truss-arch: Eastbound Canadian Pacific Railway freight train over the truss-arch Stoney Creek Bridge on the Mountain Subdivision near Rogers Pass, British Columbia Canada.
The queenpost truss, sometimes "queen post" or "queenspost", is similar to a king post truss in that the outer supports are angled towards the center of the structure. The primary difference is the horizontal extension at the center which relies on beam action to provide mechanical stability. This truss style is only suitable for relatively short spans.
The Thatcher truss combines some of the characteristics of a Pratt truss with diagonals under tension and a Howe truss with diagonals under compression. It is quite rare.
A truss arch may contain all horizontal forces within the arch itself, or alternatively may be either a thrust arch consisting of a truss, or of two arcuate sections pinned at the apex. The latter form is common when the bridge is constructed as cantilever segments from each side as in the Navajo Bridge.
The Vierendeel truss, unlike common pin-jointed trusses, imposes significant bending forces upon its members — but this in turn allows the elimination of many diagonal elements. It is a structure where the members are not triangulated but form rectangular openings, and is a frame with fixed joints that are capable of transferring and resisting bending moments. While rare as a bridge type due to higher costs compared to a triangulated truss, it is commonly employed in modern building construction as it allows the resolution of gross shear forces against the frame elements while retaining rectangular openings between columns. This is advantageous both in allowing flexibility in the use of the building space and freedom in selection of the building's outer curtain wall, which affects both interior and exterior styling aspects.
Patented 1894 (U.S. Patent 529,220) its simplicity eases erection at the site. It was intended to be used as a railroad bridge.
For the Australian politician, see Warren Truss.
The Warren truss was patented in 1848 by its designers James Warren and Willoughby Theobald Monzani, and consists of longitudinal members joined only by angled cross-members, forming alternately inverted equilateral triangle-shaped spaces along its length, ensuring that no individual strut, beam, or tie is subject to bending or torsional straining forces, but only to tension or compression. Loads on the diagonals alternate between compression and tension (approaching the center), with no vertical elements, while elements near the center must support both tension and compression in response to live loads. This configuration combines strength with economy of materials and can therefore be relatively light. The girders being of equal length, it is ideal for use in prefabricated modular bridges. It is an improvement over the Neville truss which uses a spacing configuration of isosceles triangles.
Warren truss construction has also been used in airframe construction for aircraft since the 1920s, mostly for smaller aircraft fuselages, using chrome molybdenum alloy steel tubing, with popular aircraft such as the Piper J-3 Cub. One of the earliest uses for the Warren truss in aircraft design was for the interplane wing strut layout, as seen in a nose-on view, on the Italian World War I Ansaldo SVA series of fast reconnaissance biplanes, which were among the fastest aircraft of the First World War era. Warren truss construction is still used today for some homebuilt aircraft fuselage designs, that essentially use the same 1920s-era design philosophies in the 21st century.
A Whipple truss, named after its inventor Squire Whipple, is usually considered a subclass of the Pratt truss because the diagonal members are designed to work in tension. The main characteristic of a Whipple truss is that the tension members are elongated, usually thin, at a shallow angle and cross two or more bays (rectangular sections defined by the vertical members).

Q: Issues with Python readline() when reading data from Arduino I am attempting to use pyserial to read the data from an arduino on Windows.
import serial

device      = 'COM3'
baud        = 9600

with serial.Serial(device,baud, timeout = 0) as serialPort:
    while True:
        line = serialPort.readline()
        line = line.decode("utf-8")
        if line:
            print(line)

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {

  int x = 12;
  int y = 34;
  int z = 56;
  Serial.print(x);
  Serial.print(',');
  Serial.print(y);
  Serial.print(',');
  Serial.println(z);

}

The arduino Serial monitor is outputting exactly what I expect.
12,34,56
12,34,56
12,34,56

The python script on the other hand is outputting:
1
2,34
,56

12,
34,5
6

1
2,34
,56

12,
34,5
6

I have tried delaying the output from the Arduino, I have tried making a buffer in the arduino code and only output the data when the buffer was full, thinking maybe python would have time to read it correctly.
I have see numerous people on this site and others make similar code and suggest it works fine, I however cannot get coherent data from python. Anyone know my issue?

A: Try to do like this
Python
import serial

device = 'COM3'
baud = 9600

with serial.Serial(device, baud) as port:
    while True:
        print(port.readline().decode("utf-8"))

Arduino
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int x = 12;
  int y = 34;
  int z = 56;
  Serial.println(x + ',' + y + ',' + z);
}

Q: Inheritance from a template c++ I have a question about a code that I have recently took in my hands. I just want to know if in C++ templates paradigm it is correct or useful to do the following inheritance (just 3 classes as an example):

template< class I, class P, class D, unsigned int ID = 0 >
class PathFilter : public Filter< I, P, 1 >
{
...
}

template< class I, class A, unsigned int N = 1 >
class Filter : public Algorithm< I, A >
{
...
}

template< class I, class A >
class Algorithm : public A //This line
{
   ...
}

My question is specifically about the inheritance in the third example. Is it useful to make it so 'generic' and not precise? It is a good choice to compromise understandable code by a more generic code?
I ask firstly because I'm not an expert in C++ templates, but also because I see this code difficult to understand using templates (usually the names of the templates say nothing about its content). Any advice?

A: What you are doing is a mixin class (in particular, your class Algorithm is the one).
As a reference you can consult, for instance, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixin or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_pattern.
Indeed you are specifying "certain functionality (specified by A) to be inherited or just reused by a subclass (i.e. Algorithm)".  (cit. from the first article)
In other words, you are making yourself (or your user) free to add or change behavior to Algorithm somehow "afterwards". Your real gain is to achieve such a flexibility relying just on the compiler and not on some dynamic-binding-like mechanism (e.g. overriding of virtual functions). Your final class Algorithm<A>, in fact, is built at compile time and it  is possibly  as efficient as the class you would have obtained writing Algorithm<A> explicitly (i.e. explicitly including the policy A in Algorithm writing it by hand).
EDIT:
I would also suggest to give a look to this wikipedia page about policy based design ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy-based_design ).
There, policies names (your A) appear in a clear form, with clear names, as wisely advised by @full.stack.ex.

Hearts of Heroes Z Day APK 2.4.1.0
Z_ali September 30, 2021
Today, I'm going to introduce you to Z Day: Hearts of Heroes, the new real-time strategy game from KingsGroup Holdings. Today is Z Day. There will be no more rules. Don't put it off any longer; get your adrenaline flowing and ACT as a hero in this never-ending fight! Prepare to fight as a Leader on the battlefield and face the many faces of death with tactics in a hero-filled survival MMO!
THETEACUPDOG THEPARROTSINFO DIVORCELAP
About Z Day: Heroes' Hearts
Many strategy games have been very popular on this topic, so war games are not new to gamers. Here are some user feedback and instructions on how to get this game on your computer. The conflict in this totally free strategy game is between robots and zombies, not between humans and humans.
Defeat the zombies
If you've ever seen the film World War Z, you'll know Z Day's story. The Second World War has been raging for years and shows no signs of ending anytime soon. As a result, the science of human engineering is rapidly progressing, with the ability to build cloned military powers known as Super Soldiers and aerial war machines known as Destroyers.
Humans had the chance to put an end to the fighting, but they made a mistake. Allied powers have set off a massive explosion that releases gas, killing many people and turning them into zombies. The animals have become enormous and vicious.
The entire world is in turmoil, and you must lead your forces to survive and battle all external threats while establishing a new world order.
Build your castle
The first step in Z Day: Hearts of Heroes is to build solid training and development facilities for your army. Initially, the region was nothing more than a war-ravaged wasteland, but as weapons factories, nuclear plants, and training camps were established, the area became a sanctuary for the world's most powerful army.
Wait about 3 seconds after touching the vacant land and then choosing a building to have a beautiful building. Furthermore, you must consider manipulating the wealth in order to obtain gold and a variety of other items for the army and its entire territory.
This game also gives you the option of making your own fighting machines. The Destroyers are actually the most powerful planes, but you can still beat them with weaker planes.
Educating the army
You must have a large army to defend the nation from The Commandant and Storm The Bastion when you have enough strength. Forest giants like wolves and bears might put your kingdom in jeopardy, but they also carry a lot of resources. To get a lot of gold, you can use your army to destroy them every day.
Tanks, helicopters, paratroopers, marines, and other forms of troops are eligible for you to choose from. Each squad alignment brings a different tactic to the table when acting as a leader. It also alters your approach to the game. Today is Z Day.
Hearts of Heroes has fairly complex gameplay and a lot of stuff to consider, but in exchange, the game includes detailed guides and a simple, intuitive interface to assist you in becoming a master.
As compared to a strategy game like Clash Royale, Z Day: Hearts of Heroes has good 3D graphics. The castle, the battle, all of it was simulated as if it were happening in real life.
You'll enter a vast, glorious world filled with majestic castles and cutting-edge fighting machines. However, if you have to go through the forest to fight, your army will step on the treetops, which is very irrational.
For Android, get Z Day: Hearts of Heroes APK
Overall, I think the game's gameplay and features are good, but the visuals could be better. Z Day: Hearts of Heroes is still a strategy game worth playing this year, despite its flaws.

Clearinghouse Connectors e-list
Dear <<First Name>>
Clearinghouse Connector - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's health
The November Connector explores the issue of:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's health
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women continue to have poorer health outcomes compared to non-Aboriginal women in Australia. The life expectancy for Aboriginal women is 73.7 compared to 83.1 for non-Aboriginal women. Aboriginal women are more likely to have one or more chronic health conditions compared to Aboriginal men, and are 34 times more likely to be hospitalised due to family violence. Though they make up 0.9% of the Victorian population, Aboriginal women are the fastest growing segment of the Victorian prison population, representing 8.9% of Victorian female prisoners. Most Aboriginal women in prison have experienced family violence and many are incarcerated for offences relating to homelessness and financial hardship.
There is a need for more Aboriginal women-focused research as much of the research on Aboriginal health is gender blind and does not explore the impact of gender on the health and wellbeing outcomes of Aboriginal women in addition to the trauma of colonization, forced removal, racism and socio-economic disadvantage.
Equality and safety for women : preventing violence before it occurs - website
Equality and safety for women is a practice-informed and accessible guide that supports and further strengthens the work of Women's Health Services in collaborating with partners, building community and organisational capacity, coordinating and integrating efforts, and measuring and sharing successes to achieve equality and safety for all Victorian women. It sets out the principles for action on preventing violence against women, and seven steps for action planning, implementing and measuring primary prevention efforts in the regional context. It includes a planning template designed to support planning process decisions.
Development of the guide is an initiative of the Women's Health Association of Victoria (WHAV).

MLB may combine AL and NL into three divisions, open season in early July
0 Conservative Culture,
Just doesn't seem right that thousands of vibrant American businesses will fail because of the pandemic and yet this unwatchable sport crawls on, a shadow of its former glory in the dreary era of sabermetrics, aggressive cheating, and "three true outcomes."
A sport which its own management clearly dislikes, since they're forever tinkering with the rules to try to "spice it up."
If they somehow manage to put players on the field in June and July, I feel like we're going to have weeks of excited hype beforehand that sports is back! followed by a letdown four or five games into season like, "Oh, right. This."
I don't understand the logic of league realignment here either. Is it just a gimmick to pique fans' interest? That would fit with MLB's general belief that fans no longer want to watch baseball as-is.
Major League Baseball officials have become cautiously optimistic this week that the season will start in late June, and no later than July 2, playing at least 100 regular-season games, according to three executives with knowledge of the talks. They requested anonymity because the plan is still under consideration.
And not only would baseball be played, but it would be played in their own major-league ballparks, albeit with no fans.
MLB is considering a three-division, 10-team plan in which teams play only within their division – a concept gaining support among owners and executives. It would abolish the traditional American and National Leagues, and realign the divisions based on geography…
MLB officials are hoping it won't be necessary to quarantine players, and normalcy will prevail once the regular season commences, but the schedule and playoff format promises to be dramatically different.
"It's all coming together,'' said one official to USA Today. "I'm very optimistic." I'm not. What happens when a player inevitably gets infected? Does the team cancel games for two weeks and self-quarantine? What about the teams that player's team played against over the previous seven days? If one of more teams have to self-quarantine, what does that do to the schedule? Assuming every team carries 40 players, that's 1,200 separate vectors of transmission — not including coaches, supporting personnel, and so on. It's going to happen. What's the plan when it does?
Follow the link to see the proposed realignment. Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, and Phillies (among others) together in the "East," Dodgers, Astros, Giants, and A's (among others) together in the "West," and Cubs, Cardinals, Indians, and Braves (among others) together in the "Central." But … why? The idea is to "severely" reduce travel by grouping teams together regionally, but it's not like those regions are tightly clustered. They're not going to be traveling by bus. Atlanta and Minnesota would be in the same division. So would Toronto and Miami. So would Houston and Seattle. (They're in the same division in normal times too.) Air travel will be necessary — which is okay, since each of these teams fly on their own chartered planes and don't need to worry about contamination by the public.
But in that case, if they can fly more or less safely, and if they're playing in their home ballparks, why do we need realignment? Just keep the familiar league/division structure. The only thing realignment gets you is an opportunity to play a few more games: If the season starts in July and most teams only need to fly an hour or two to play every other team in their new division, some "travel days" can be omitted from the schedule. But not all of them, and players surely can't be expected to play every single day for three months anyway. They might as well just play an 81-game season and retain the traditional divisions. Unless, as I say, MLB thinks its big return isn't interesting enough for fans in its own right and needs a stunt to goose the public.
We'll probably end up stuck with this Frankenstein divisional realignment forever as players decide they really like not having to fly six hours overnight after a game for their next series. As for playing in front of empty stadiums, that's the way things have been trending naturally. All this will do is accelerate it a bit.

London Ambulance Service put into special measures
lucbouchard 27 November 2015
The London Ambulance Service (LAS) NHS Trust has been put into special measures by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an inspection in June that classed its overall quality of services as "inadequate", citing concerns in areas such as staffing and incident reporting. The report has also raised some issues around technology use and fleet quality.
Looking at four key service areas, the commission classed both 'emergency and urgent care services' and 'resilience planning' as inadequate, while saying improvements were needed in 'patient transport services (PTS)' and 'emergency operations centre' operations.
"Overall, the trust was rated as Inadequate. Caring was rated as Good. Effective and Responsive were rated as Requires Improvement. Safe and Well-led were rated as Inadequate," noted the CQC findings.
In its report on the operations of the trust, the CQC identified a number of issues to be addressed, including developing a sustained action plan to tackle bullying and harassment, and recruitment of sufficient frontline paramedics in regard to a wider national shortage of qualified staff.
The findings have also called for improvements in the organisations management of medicines and under reporting of incidents, while noting that outdated on-board vehicle technology has made navigation and communication via personal digital assistants (PDAs) difficult.
Having been put into special measures, a status that will aim to set out a "timely and coordinated response" to improve care standards, the trust said it would be taking the CQC's decision seriously, adding it would ensure additional support was available to build on progress made since the inspection.
LAS chief executive Dr Fionna Moore MBE said that while the trust was pleased staff had been given recognition for their caring rating, it was sorry for having "fallen short of some of the standards CQC and Londoners expect of us."
"As the newly appointed chief executive, I am, along with my leadership team, completely focussed on addressing the challenges highlighted in this report," she said.
"We accept that we need to improve the way we measure and monitor some important standards and processes but we would like to reassure Londoners that we always prioritise our response to our most critically ill and injured patients and, in the event of a major incident, we are ready to respond and CQC recognise this."
Key considerations raised in the report included a shortage of trained paramedics in light of a national shortage, as well as a trend of staff leaving the service for better pay.
The CQC report has set out a number of recommendations that include:
– Improving the system of governance and risk management to ensure that all risks are reported, understood, updated and cleared regularly
– Setting up a system of checks and audit to ensure medicines removed from paramedic drug packs have been administered to patients
– Improved medicines management including the formal appointment and naming of board director to oversee errors
In terms of specific technology issues with regards to the trust's patient transport services, the CQC noted that staff had raised concerns that on-board systems were outdated, meaning satellite navigation and communication was difficult at times.
"The PTS crews told us the software on the PDA was out of date, which led to incorrect routing, causing delays to patient journeys. We also observed the PDA technology 'freezing' on occasion and staff having to use their own mobile phones to assist their journey," said the report.
The report also noted that some of the ambulance service's vehicles were not up to standard.
Concerning emergency and urgent care services, staff informed the CQC inspectors that they had underreported incidents due to a lack of time to complete paper forms during their shifts and a lack of availability of documents on their vehicles.
"We also found there was some apathy to reporting incidents due to the lack of feedback," said the CQC.
In response to the CQC's key findings, LAS said it had invested £14m into 104 new ambulances designed to cut down in out of service vehicles, while delivering 60 new fast response cars by 2016.
"While we haven't always got it right for our staff or responded quickly enough to the challenges we faced, we are beginning to see the benefits of many of the changes we have introduced," said Dr Moore. "For example, we have more staff joining the service than leaving, our performance is improving and I have personally met 900 ambulance crews, control room and support staff recently during our road shows."

Motherless: A Legacy of Loss from Illegal Abortion
A documentary about four children who lost their mothers to illegal abortion
Host a Home Viewing
Sign Up to Host
Abortion History
We've created a discussion guide to help begin the conversation at your Motherless home viewing.
General Discussion Guide
Use this discussion guide to begin a conversation about Motherless and abortion. Feel free to add your own questions and focus the discussion on topics that are relevant to your audience. You may want to set ground rules prior to beginning the discussion in order to create a safe space in which people feel comfortable having a conversation about this sensitive topic.
Sample discussion questions
Share your reaction to the film. Which images or stories stuck with you?
Picture a "typical" abortion patient. Think about her age, race, religion, income, number of children, and contraceptive use. Now, listen to the following facts from the Guttmacher Institute about women who have abortions:
Nearly 1 in 3 women in the US will have an abortion by age 45.
6 in 10 women in the US who choose abortion already have children and cite the need to care for their families as a key reason to not have another child.
Over half of all women in the US who have an abortion are in their 20s. Teens account for less than 2 in 10 of all abortions.
Over 1 in 3 abortions are obtained by white women. Women of color are disproportionately likely to have an unintended pregnancy and an abortion due to social and economic inequities, including lack of access to contraceptives, health care, education, and employment.
3 in 4 women who have an abortion are religiously affiliated.
Over 4 in 10 women have an abortion live in poverty. Medicaid and many private insurance plans do not cover abortion in most situations.
89% of abortions occur in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Over half of women who have abortions used a contraceptive method (usually condoms or the pill) during the month they became pregnant.
How does the woman you imagined match with reality? What surprises you?
Discuss the importance of access to safe, legal, affordable abortion. Do you believe there should there be restrictions on abortion? If so, what kinds?
Have you ever spoken about abortion with anyone who was alive when Roe was decided or with people who sought an abortion before 1973? What did they have to say?
What barriers currently exist for women attempting to get an abortion?
The film depicts the reality of unsafe and illegal abortion in the US prior to the landmark Roe v. Wade (1973) decision in which the Supreme Court invalidated a Texas law on the grounds that the constitutional right to privacy encompasses a woman's decision whether or not to continue her pregnancy.. In the decades since Roe, however, states have gone to great lengths to put obstacles in the way of people seeking abortion care and people providing abortion care. Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers, or TRAP, laws impose costly and medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion clinics, and they make it difficult and expensive for abortion clinics to remain in operation. The Supreme Court recently heard arguments in a case, Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, challenging Texas's TRAP law and is expected to issue its decision in June 2016.
This film was made in 1992. In what ways is it still relevant? How have abortion, stigma, access, and legislation changed in the last two decades?
In the current political environment, the further along a woman is in her pregnancy and the state in which she lives greatly impact her access to safe, legal abortion. Women faced with barriers to abortion don't always continue their pregnancies and have children that they cannot support (physically, financially, emotionally, or otherwise). Rather, some women go to great and potentially dangerous lengths to obtain an abortion. A 2015 survey found that between 100,000 and 240,000 women in Texas – a state with especially restrictive TRAP laws – had attempted self-induced abortions in the past five years. Additionally, a 2015 analysis of Google searches found that there was a sharp increase in search terms regarding unsafe self-induced abortions, including "buy abortion pills online" and "how to do a coat hanger abortion," for a total of over 700,000 such searches last(?) year. The increase in self-induced abortion Internet searches correlated with the increase in new laws that restricted access to abortion and were most common in states with more abortion restrictions.

Amy Adams' 10 Best Movies
February 5, 2017 sleeplessdave Leave a comment
Amy Adams has unfortunately inherited the mantle Kate Winslet had to drag around for a decade: "Best Actress Without An Oscar". Nominated six times, she's 0 for 5 (the verdict is still out on 2019's nomination). Adams has put together an amazing body of work since she broke out in 2005's Junebug and earned her first Oscar nod. Whether in supporting roles as in Doubt, Charlie Wilson's War, or Her; or as a lead in American Hustle, Big Eyes, or Enchanted, Adams always delivers strong performances. I think her best performance was American Hustle, but her best movie was 2016's science fiction masterpiece Arrival. In the age of the comic book movie, most stars have been snapped up by DC or Marvel. Adams has played Lois Lane in the DCEU in Man of Steel (which was good) and Batman vs. Superman (which was really not but not Adams' fault). It's an unfortunate reality that quality actresses have a harder time finding quality roles as they age. Adams is defying this trend, and eventually, the Academy will recognize her as one of the strongest actresses of the last 30 years.
Amy Adams' Best 10
1. Arrival (2016), Louise Banks
2. American Hustle (2013), Sydney Prosser
3. Charlie Wilson's War (2007), Bonnie Bach
4. Catch Me If You Can (2002), Brenda Strong
5. Enchanted (2007), Giselle
6. Doubt (2008), Sister James
7. Julie & Julia (2009), Julie Powell

Movie Review: The Arrival (2016) "Another Villeneuve Masterpiece"
January 3, 2017 sleeplessdave 2 Comments
I think that The Arrival will be the movie that finally puts Denis Villeneuve on the map as one of the best directors in Hollywood (if Sicario hadn't already). The alien visitation plot is something that's been done a million times in a million ways in science fiction, but Villeneuve finds a way to take a fresh approach; focusing on communication between the species, the differences in perception two completely separate species would encounter about self, about family, and about time. Alien obelisks have landed all over the globe causing panic. Amy Adams does her normal stellar job playing a linguist brought in to try to communicate with them to see what they want and why they're here. That's all you're getting on plot, because if you're a fan of Villeneuve, you know there's usually an "O.Henry" moment (the author not the candy bar, people) of plot pay-off that knocks you on your flat on your butt.

Trailer Time: Arrival Trailer #2 (2016) *Why Are They Here?*
August 17, 2016 sleeplessdave 3 Comments
*Text from Coming Soon
Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario), the film is based on Ted Chiang's 1998 novella Story of Your Life with a script with Eric Heisserer (The Thing (2011)). When mysterious spacecraft touch down across the globe, an elite team – lead by expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) – are brought together to investigate. As mankind teeters on the verge of global war, Banks and the team race against time for answers – and to find them, she will take a chance that could threaten her life, and quite possibly humanity.
"This isn't a graphic-novel universe or creating a new universe. This happens in our world today, as it exists," Adams said previously of the grounded approach. "Not having to transport myself to a universe where superheroes exist, which is also fun, really helped me ground the character and the experience."
Jeremy Renner also stars in the film as a physicist, with the actor saying: "I haven't played a smart nerdy guy. I thought there was a great challenge in that."
Renner also spoke about the film's tone, saying it's not like a "big Michael Bay alien movie" but instead compared it to the works of Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. "If you're a parent, it's going to wreck you," he said. "It's big and there are thriller elements and tension, but it's going to lean much more into a thinking person's film."
Arrival will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 2 before debuting in theaters on November 11.

Trailer Time: Arrival Teaser #1 (2016) *Villenueve and Aliens*
August 10, 2016 sleeplessdave Leave a comment
Denis Villenueve is the best director in Hollywood that no one had heard of. He's made three flawless films in Incendies, Prisoners, and Sicario, and has developed a reputation for riveting narratives, innovative direction, and stories that leave the audience feeling like someone punched them between the eyes. Arrival, starring Amy Adams, Forrest Whitaker, and Jeremy Renner, is a big departure from the grittiness of his other films, but I will go see any film Villeneueve directs the day it is released. This is a teaser with a full trailer promised to arrive soon. Arrival opens in theaters on November 11, 2016.

Wallyball Wallyball is a sport that was invented by Joe Garcia in 1979. It is a variation of volleyball, however, it is played inside a racquetball court. There are currently no wallyball teams for individuals with disabilities but after contacting Mr. Garcia, he showed genuine interest in creating a program of this type. Due to the fact that there are no existing leagues, an effort has been made to begin locally. Mr. Garcia has taken an interest in bringing his sport into the University of Florida's GatorSport camp. This is a great opportunity for introducing wallyball because every year this camp brings in people of various levels ranging from world champion athletes and coaches with disabilities to newly disabled amateurs. Basic Rules: Wallyball is played inside a racquetball court with a net set up between two teams consisting of 2-4 players. The ball is served by a team and is played back and forth using all of the walls for play. Each team is allowed 3 hits maximum to volley it to their opponents' side. A team is awarded a point only if they are in possession of the ball and the other team fails to keep the ball from falling on their side. Games end at 15, 18, or 21 points and a team must win by 2 points. * For a complete list of official rules check: http://www.wallyball.com/rules/rules_pg.htm

Wallyball Rules
Wallyball is volleyball played on a racquetball court, with a net strung across the middle of the court at approximately 7'10". The rules are the same as volleyball except for the following:
'2-4' people per side (mixed in any ratio) For mixed events at least '1' person of the opposite sex per team The serve commences from an imaginary '4' foot square in the back right hand corner Ther server or person in that position cannot spike or block. The ceiling is out of play for any shot When serving you can only hit '1' wall When using your '2' bumps, you can hit any wall or any combination of sidewalls or your backwall (except the ceiling) to keep the ball off the floor Like in volleyball, touching the net constitutes a side out or point We use a volleyball, can block the service and allow spiking in our leagues. However, if you spike a ball and hit a person above the shoulders, it's a '1' drink fine paid to the person hit. All rules are governed by the honour system and individuals must call themselves!

http://www.idigsports.com/idig_unique_extreme_sports/wallyball_pg.htm
The general concepts of wallyball are very similar to indoor volleyball. The game is played in a racquetball court with a net strung across the short way at the mid-point of the area. This midpoint is typical defined by the back line of the racquetball serve area. The net is normally hung at a top vertical height of at the same as is for volleyball. Some courts also have the lower drilled holes/rings for a women's' height net. The ball is of similar size to a volleyball, but is made of a latex material very like a racquetball. Due to the pressure and surface of the ball, if you do get thwacked with it, it stings a bit more than a standard volleyball opinion, but then again, I've been hit much harder in wallyball than.
Play consists of one team serving the ball from a marked area within 3 feet from their sides back wall over the net where the ball must be returned
with a bump or closed fist on the initial hit off the serve by the opposing team.

The cave floor had become a little uncomfortable at some point in the past, so clay had been brought in to smooth it out, filling in the lower parts, cracks and grooves, and rounding off the craggy points. I'd gotten used to this smoother floor but forgotten about what had been covered up and not knowing what the original floor was like. Was it really so uncomfortable, or was it what I'd put on it that made it so? Was it the floor that needed smoothing or to mask my own lumpy and messy accumulations? The artificial floor itself had gotten uncomfortable. A fine layer of straw and then linoleum and then carpet. Better and better carpets ended up being sickening in comfort, and still certain artefacts insisted in making uncomfy bumps or poking through the layers. Let's peel it all off. Let's not rip it up because that might damage the original floor, although I imagine it is tougher than I imagine it to be, or untouchable by what I do. But on the original floor, underneath the finery and clay, are tender spots, things I didn't want to feel at the time, unfinished items not allowed to roll or be put away in the right place. So they lie where left and I'm gently lifting the rug, scraping the clay with the tool of vipassana and the fine brushes or awareness and equanimity, like the fine haired brushes used in archaeology.
Legs tensed, feet tensed, right arm shook. There was great fear and a general discomfort and tearfulness nearby.
Resistances are fighting back, with a few sittings recently at 40 minutes. Two planned that way but today, left leg dead and low in overall energy, I just quit it. Decided in a flash, not without some sort of disappointment, and not really with any relief as I know by now that nothing is really relieved or changed by quitting sitting. Just more opportunity to distract and continue the sort of game of living being played out in the 21st Century. And no doubt it's not ever been any different over the ages. We are either aware in equanimity of the changing nature of existence (to put it in vipassana terms) or we are not. But it felt good to stop still even if I didn't feel like it. And it feels fine to stop early. There's no great shakes about it and I'm not under pressure from myself. Yet something of discipline is required else habit takes over and I'll just hang about or get busy instead of sitting still. Discipline is not enforced but comes with interestedness and the understanding of what's important.


In an amazing feat of engineering SuperFoiler's series leader Euroflex will make a remarkable return to racing in the Supercharged Sunday session on Geograph Bay.
The front-runner, who suffered serious structural damage in a training session on Friday are astonished at the effort from the shore team and are looking to repay their hard toil with a strong showing in Western Australia.
"Two days ago we had a two metre hole down the side of our boat and a broken rudder, I am actually blown away by what the boat team have done to get the boat back on the water and I am extremely grateful to be sailing today," said Euroflex bowman and Olympic gold medallist Iain Jensen.
"It is an absolutely spectacular effort. When you looked at the boat on Friday you would have thought there was absolutely no way we would get anywhere near the water but those guys have worked night and day, around the clock to give us the opportunity to be back on the water to give us the opportunity to race," said Euroflex mainsheet hand and America's Cup winner Glenn Ashby.
Euroflex, the series supremo, have so far won every single regatta and they haven't ruled out maintaining that clean sweep despite starting Sunday 25 points off the regatta leader tech2.
"Today for us it is double points so hopefully we are still in the game. We have a lot of catching up to do but anything can happen in the double points Sunday," said Glenn Ashby, "We want to get out there and do well for our sponsor and for the boys because they have put a huge amount of effort in the shed because for them the satisfaction after working around the clock to see the boat out and racing is what they thrive on."
Jensen, "It could be my last day on the SuperFoiler for quite a while so hopefully we make it one to remember."
Sunday's racing will be livestreamed on www.superfoiler.com with double points on offer across four scheduled races.

When your True Dental Care Preston dentist peers into your mouth, it's not just a look at how effectively you've been brushing and flossing.
Your mouth, it turns out, is a window into your overall health.
In fact, they are also looking for a wide range of conditions that may affect your general health. About 100 conditions have symptoms and warning signs that appear in the mouth.
In fact, in the case of some illnesses symptoms first show up in the mouth.
For instance, gingivitis — or gum disease — can be caused by poor oral hygiene, but it can also be caused by many other conditions, some as serious as leukemia or HIV.
This is why your True Dental Care Preston dentist's excellent training is so essential; at True Dental Care Preston, we can inquire into and interpret your oral symptoms to help you determine how healthy you are. And all this can take place in a single checkup!
Heart Disease. Researchers are investigating and believe they have established links between gum disease and cardiovascular disease. One possible connection is that inflammation in the mouth, or gum disease, can lead to inflammation throughout the body, including the arteries.
This inflammation is suspected of playing a role in heart attacks and strokes. At True Dental Care Preston we believe that treating gum disease and reducing the inflammation caused by gum disease you may be able to reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.
Cancer. One thing that you probably don't think about when your True Dental Care Preston dentist is prodding and poking about is the idea of cancer. But oral cancer is a real threat and one that is best dealt with as early as possible.
This is why it is so critical to detect worrisome signs at every checkup and determine what causes them. Your True Dental Care Preston dentist is an expert in dental and oral hygiene and can do the most thorough job of oral cancer screening available.
Rheumatoid arthritis causes joint pain and swelling, and can even lead to loss of mobility/flexibility. But early signs of this painful and disabling autoimmune condition can also show up in the mouth, particularly in the case of young people.
Patients with swollen or painful jaws, or who can't completely open their mouth, may be suffering from early-onset rheumatoid arthritis. If your dentist suspects this, your doctor can confirm the diagnosis.
Stress. If you've been unconsciously grinding your teeth, they may be worn down or chipped, and your True Dental Care Preston dentist will detect this. This grinding — known as bruxism to the dentist — can eventually cause bone loss that your dentist may detect on your X-rays.
Bruxism is normally caused by stress but can also take place if the top and bottom teeth aren't properly aligned. Because bruxism normally takes place at night, you may or may not be aware that you've been grinding your teeth, but your True Dental Care Preston dentist can spot the symptoms.
To prevent tooth damage and so your jaw muscles can relax, your dentist can fit you with a custom mouth guard to wear while you sleep.
Vitamin deficiency. Vitamin deficiency can lead to many oral conditions, including burning tongue syndrome, tissue loss, infections, delayed healing, and bleeding gums. Iron deficiency (anemia) shows up in your mouth as severe sores or changes in your tongue.
Bad breath. Bad breath (halitosis) can indicate dental problems. Chronic bad breath may be a sign of gum disease, ill-fitting dental appliances, an infection in the mouth, or cavities.
More general problems suggested by bad breath include bronchitis or pneumonia, sinus infections, diabetes, Gastrointestinal reflux and kidney or liver problems. Dry mouth can also lead to bad breath, then damage to oral health.
Our staff can tell if you're not brushing and flossing properly. Proper brushing and flossing are necessary to maintain good oral health. Inadequate oral hygiene is easily detectable to the trained eye of your True Dental dentist.
This is because harmful substances like tartar and plaque build up on the teeth and gums. These substances contribute to gum disease and tooth decay. If we notice signs that your oral hygiene routine needs improvement, we will give you helpful tips and pointers.
The foundation of True Dental Care Preston is a passion for healthy beautiful smiles. Our team is composed of Australian trained dentists, nurses, and a prosthetist. We offer general dentistry, implants and cosmetic dentistry, and emergency services, all in our advanced facility with a highly-trained staff and cutting-edge technology and.
