In her groundbreaking study, Tufts University professor Alisha Rankin essentially revises the history of medicine, showing that women, presumed to be marginal in the development early modern medicine, were actually major players.
Panaceia's Daughters: Noblewomen as Healers in Early Modern Germany by Alisha Rankin, University of Chicago Press, 312 pages, $40.
By Justin Grosslight.
In recent years, historians have intimated that women were crucial participants in the development of scientific knowledge, but few scholars have provided convincing evidence. Alisha Rankin's groundbreaking text, Panaceia's Daughters: Noblewomen as Healers in Early Modern Germany, essentially revises the history of medicine by showing that women, once presumed to be marginal players in early modern medicine, "became fêted not in spite of their gender but because of it."
Rankin first positions sixteenth-century German noblewomen in the history of early modern medical practice and then examines the previously unearthed archival records of Countess Dorothea of Mansfield (1493–1578) as well as her noblewomen correspondents Electress Anna of Saxony (1532–85) and Duchess Elisabeth of Rochlitz (1502–57). She adroitly analyzes images, graphs, and an amalgam of primary and secondary sources to advance her thesis. In doing so, Panaceia's Daughters pushes the boundaries of existing scholarship on medical history and gender studies and provides larger cultural insights into the Reformation.
The opening chapters of the book paint a vibrant panorama of women's participation in early modern German medicine. Rankin shows that by creating medical recipes, sharing experimental equipment, and conducting empirical studies, women staked out a specific niche in the medical economy. Good recipes proved to be as efficacious for healing as traditional learned methods. Female practical therapeutic endeavors generated a body of natural knowledge that challenged the erudite practices of male physicians.
Because they created successful alternative treatments, female healers became increasingly visible in the larger medical community, engaging (and sometimes contending with) physicians, barber surgeons, and apothecaries. Handwritten material spread rapidly in a milieu that eagerly supported heterodox medical ideas: Rankin notes that the vernacular recipes in the library of the Palatine electors (Codices Palatini germanici) account for approximately 93% of all medical manuscripts in sixteenth-century Germany. Though not confined to a female audience, recipes made up an important part of women's Kunst, a body of skilled knowledge that developed gradually through practice and shared knowledge. While recipes abounded in Latin and the vernacular, an even larger number remained unwritten, largely out of fear that coveted procedures would fall into the wrong hands or lose their exclusivity. Court settings were a safe place for the exchange of medical recipes and experimental materials, so communications among noblewomen are at the heart of Rankin's analysis.
Claiming that women and their recipes should assume a central place in the history of medicine, Rankin drives her point home by carefully examining three case studies. A prominent medical healer from the mid 1530s until her death in 1578, Dorothea of Mansfield epitomizes how a noblewoman created her medical career. Among the first in Germany to erect an on-site distillery and to exploit a castle garden for natural resources, Dorothea used her home and grounds to concoct various medical distillates, or aqua vitae. Perpetually in danger of falling into bankruptcy, Dorothea relied on the efficacy of her medicines to keep her estate afloat.
Acclaim for Dorothea's successful cures gradually spread: even Protestant reformer Martin Luther solicited her advice in ending his headaches and debilitating vertigo. Cultivating an aura of piety that mitigated her unfavorable status as a widow, Dorothea won repute as a charitable healer. Those she cured reciprocated by reinforcing her fame; she used this popularity as a way to get her recipes into print. Fortunately, Dorothea's charity also shielded her from religious attack during a time of sectarian conflicts: though Protestants rejected the Catholic act of almsgiving as a bargain with God, they were forced to accept charitable acts as a sign of good grace. Strategically, Dorothea refused to identify her religious affiliation. Only at her eulogy was she portrayed (perhaps inaccurately) as Protestant, revered for her generous care for the masses.

Unlike Dorothea, who battled against precarious financial circumstances, Anna and her husband, August of Saxony (1526–86), were affluent. At both Dresden and Annaburg, the couple undertook several craft endeavors. August followed his technical and alchemical proclivities while Anna pursued her medical passions. Recipe making was a serious affair for Anna: newfangled brews needed to be tested before being disseminated, and often claims regarding panaceas had to be demonstrated in person rather than asserted through writing. Upgrades to glass tubes and other equipment in the Annaberg distillery were made. Anna used Dorothea's recipes, improving on many of them.
More important, Anna saw her practice as a disciplined female affair: most of her servants in the distillery were women of considerable intellect and status. The two with whom she entrusted managerial duties, Appolonia Neefe and Katharina Klein, were married to physicians. Interaction with males in the medical field was helpful, but Anna's world generally stood apart from that of conventional physicians and barber surgeons. Yet she was also strategic, tapping into her courtly networks (using her status as an aristocratic Electress) and the Protestant faith to stealthily advance her practice and the cause of medical experimentation. She consistently preached the Protestant mores of moderation and female obedience, serving her husband and insisting that her daughter obey her son-in-law.
Rankin's final chapter is particularly striking because she challenges the stereotypical doctor-patient dichotomy at the center of medical historiography, addressing the provocative issue of what it means to be concurrently a healer and a patient. Plagued with sundry illnesses for the majority of her adult life, Elisabeth of Rochlitz turned to her own medicines and to the larger medical community for guidance. Examining Elisabeth's records, Rankin astutely shows that the woman spent a significant amount of time creating her own recipes as well as working with Dorothea and others to remedy her maladies. More important, when Elisabeth sought outside medical guidance she gave no preference to physicians, apothecaries, barber surgeons, or other practitioners. She even secured a Jewish physician to help treat her for the French Disease.
Elisabeth also disregarded the accepted hierarchy of medical practitioners, which placed physicians atop the prestige pyramid. Somewhat irascible by nature, she rebuffed physicians who required her to change her diet or regimen, preferring clinicians who offered topical medical cures that required little effort on her end. Complementing Elisabeth's medical endeavors was her (Protestant) conviction that Christ was the ultimate healer: a sick body most likely housed a troubled soul. Thus she made an extra effort to aid the poor and sick—especially when ill—with the hope that she might recover through performing good deeds. Throughout her life, Elisabeth continually asked her brother Philip, Landgrave of Hesse (1504–68), to send practitioners, apothecaries, and alms to her residence in Schmalkalden. Unlike Dorothea and Anna, Elisabeth did not aim at generating publicity, so she is a sterling example of a noblewoman who created recipes primarily to keep herself healthy.
Its merits acknowledged, Panaceia's Daughters has its shortcomings. Rankin could have done a better job connecting her protagonists and the world of midwifery. Debates about childbirth techniques were plentiful during sixteenth-century Europe, especially after the German physician Eucharius Rösslin (c.1470–1526) published his Der Rosengarten in 1513. Though the intended audience for Rösslin's book was not strictly female, several editions of his text were released (and translated) in rapid succession. Also, it would be helpful to know whether Rankin's noblewomen tried to undercut the authority of less prominent female healers. Finally, while Rankin's case studies emphasize local practices, it would be helpful to know the international reach of her female triumvirate. Having this information could provide a foundation for new comparative, cross-cultural analyses in medical healing.
Rankin illuminates a fascinating lay medical world situated at the intersection of medical knowledge, charity, and patronage.
In addition, the subtitle of Rankin's book is slightly exaggerated in its temporal scope. She purports to furnish a study on early modern Germany, yet her research "covers roughly the years 1520–1600, with a particular focus on the last four decades of the sixteenth century." Given that this era seems to be particularly fertile for historical analysis, it would have been wiser for Rankin to alert readers up front that the scope of her research is limited to the sixteenth century.
Nevertheless, Panaceia's Daughters' explorations are profound on many levels. Through her case studies, Rankin brilliantly challenges scholars' conceptions of medicine in the Reformation era. Most surprising is that Rankin's noblewomen do not seem to have been hindered because of their religious affiliation. This is in direct contrast with recent studies that have found that exchanges of scientific information were often undermined, either because of religious tensions or regional pride. For whatever reason (perhaps because they were not scholars or because of German hubris), Rankin's female protagonists led a relatively sanguine existence given the spiritual and political turmoil around them. Rankin also exploits the concept of artisanal epistemology throughout her book, showing that accumulating medical knowledge was not only accomplished through reading recipes, but also that it required extensive hands-on practice.
When read alongside recent scholarly work by Gianna Pomata, Katharine Park, Harold Cook, and others, Panaceia's Daughters places early modern women and their relationship with "medical cookery" squarely in the canon of mainstream scientific pursuits. With a discerning eye, Rankin ingeniously exploits not only hitherto unexamined letters but also medical recipes and estate inventories to illuminate a fascinating lay medical world situated at the intersection of medical knowledge, charity, and patronage.

How Massachusetts Gets Ready for 2030
April 22, 2019 July 10, 2019
By Michael W. Young, Senior Vice President, Global Government Affairs & Public Policy, and Paige Fetzer, Americas Government Affairs
In 2017, Dell Technologies teamed up with the Institute for the Future (IFTF) to forecast what the "next era of human-machine partnerships" will look like by 2030. Together we observed a world that's brimming with opportunity. Since then, emerging technologies have only continued to advance, drive human progress around the world and reshape society for the better.
Emerging technologies such as 5G/6G, artificial intelligence, IoT, distributed ledgers and cryptocurrencies are just some of the technologies radically transforming our world and the face of business. In a new report out today, the Institute for the Future posits that these technologies, combined with a more interwoven partnership between human and machine, will catalyze new, disruptive models of commercialization – and lead to a fairer, more efficient and productive society. They're poised to radically transform the bedrock of our economy, remove age-old frictions and usher in new ways of conducting business and exchanging value.
Government's Role in Emerging Technologies
With all of these significant changes, what is the role of government? Some of these changes will bring significant opportunities for societal benefit, while others will require responsible collaboration to address challenges and biases. As part of our quest to help customers transform their work and prepare for these changes, we will continue to offer research, insights, tools and collaboration sessions (check out all our work on Realizing 2030, including a focus on government's role).
Propelling growth and development in Massachusetts
Massachusetts plays a significant role in the life of Dell Technologies. Not only are various state and local governments, higher institutions of learning, and businesses key customers, but EMC was founded in Hopkinton, Dell Technologies now has nearly 9,000 employees there, and our Massachusetts operations annually provide $4 billion in economic impact.
On April 22, 2019, in the Boston Museum of Science, Dell Technologies Chairman and CEO Michael Dell, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, and local government and business leaders came together for MassForward: A Vision for 2030, to discuss how the Commonwealth of Massachusetts can continue to lead on emerging technology and its implementation in the workplace. We focused on six issue areas: healthcare, the future of work, education, sustainability, manufacturing, and transportation.
Recommendations for Massachusetts to support progress
Part of the discussion focused on the critical roles that both the private sector and government play in working together with a sustained commitment to create a climate that allows industries to adapt and thrive as the development and use of emerging technologies only expands. Dell Technologies is fully committed to this partnership, and many other companies throughout the Commonwealth will continue to offer their commitment, as well.
With a vision for 2030 in mind, we offer a road map of three key steps:
Form an Emerging Technologies Task Force
The state government should form a task force to centralize Mass Tech Collaborative and the Mass High Tech Council set strong examples for creating, launching, and managing programs that support technological advancements across sectors, a working group that is more directly tied to state government could serve to distill the full scope of initiatives and identify the most immediate opportunities for government to step up. The Task Force should provide regular recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature, monitor and report progress toward innovation goals laid out in past legislative and executive policy initiatives, and solicit input from all possible public and private stakeholders.
Continue Modernizing the State's Technology Infrastructure
The continuation and expansion of Massachusetts' ongoing efforts to modernize government technology will be elemental to fully realizing innovation's opportunities. Government technology deficiencies create safety, security and privacy consequences and inefficiently and ineffectively deliver services.
The recently enacted federal Modernizing Government Technology Act represents one framework for considering increased prioritization of technology upgrades. We suggest that the Commonwealth expand the use of currently available and near-term emerging technology – by adopting cloud-based data management, expanding IoT usage by seeking out "smart" fixed assets in government, and implementing government procurement reform to allow and encourage innovation – and explore additional research for technology that is earlier in the development process – such as robotics usage in select government services, blockchain systems, and smart cities initiatives focused on AI and machine learning.
Boost STEM Education Investments
Massachusetts needs a diverse and well-educated workforce – with 21st century skills and STEM knowledge – to thrive in the global economy. Public-private partnerships will play a significant role in building competencies, expanding employment opportunities, broadening educational access to minority-serving institutions. We recommend that the state support direct private investment in existing programs to supplement public funds and grant-making, such as contributing toward private matching funds for an existing program in the state budget, supporting relevant job training programs, particularly at the state's vocational technical schools and sponsoring statewide initiatives like Citizen Schools that promote STEM programming for K-12 students, and considering similar partnerships and alliances with programs designed to enable people with neuro-disabilities. And we recommend that the state supporting the use of STEM curricula and modules like Engineering is Elementary. Here are two examples how Dell Technologies supports local education initiatives:
Dell Technologies and Northeastern University offer the Align Scholars program, where students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds can obtain a Masters of Computer Science.
Dell Technologies and HMEA have developed a technology training initiative to help highly skilled people with autism to overcome some of the barriers to obtaining competitive positions.
Realizing the Digital Future
To be successful, a myriad of issues and complexities will need to be addressed within the landscape of deeper, more immersive interactions with machines. Business and civic leaders will need to work together – through collaboration, innovation and appropriate regulation – to tackle security and data privacy concerns, bias in AI and autonomous vehicle failures, job creation
and job elimination, and more.
A friction-free economy is not guaranteed – and comes with a degree of risk. However, at Dell Technologies, we're seeing mounting evidence that technology is driving human progress and has the potential to redraw our
society and economy for the better by 2030.

Home » Blog » How Long Does Halloween Candy Last?
How long does Halloween Candy Last? It's the day after Halloween and the perfect time to ask how long Halloween candy lasts. Most people fit into one of three groups, either you bought too much candy and the turnout at your door was less than expected, your kids went around the block a few too many times and have an overflowing bag, or you are a bargain hunter and would like to clean up on the half off specials at all the stores today. Either way, it's important to know just how long Halloween candy lasts.
When you wait much longer for the 75% off or even 90% off, you will get candy that actually lasts a good while longer but it will be decorated with spiders, ghosts and pumpkins. So, besides being the least popular flavors they will be less desirable to place out on display.
Back to the question of how long does Halloween candy last… well, it really depends on the the type of candy inside the Halloween wrapper. To find out how long each of these different Halloween candies last, you need to find the eat by date for that type of candy.

Tip: Most Halloween candy purchased on Nov 1st is great for stuffing stockings on Dec 24th!

14ymedio, LUZ ESCOBAR, Havana, 17 January 2015 — "Where is the end of the line for a picture with the Cuban bear?" yesterday asked a youngster during the opening of the United Buddy Bears show in Havana's San Francisco Plaza. The project, created in 2001 by Eva and Klaus Herlitz with the collaboration of Austrian sculptor Roman Strobl, promotes a message of tolerance and understanding among all peoples, cultures and religions of the world. The exposition has travelled across five continents with life-sized sculptures of bears that evoke the member countries of the United Nations.
With the participation of artists from each of the represented countries, these bears have visited cities such as Vienna, Cairo, Jerusalem, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Paris, Hong King, Istanbul, Tokyo, Sydney, Warsaw and Rio de Janeiro. Since its first exhibition in Berlin in 2002 they have been appreciated by more than 30 million people. Now, they are in Havana, which highlights the signature sculpture of our country, made by Cuban artist Nancy Torres.
Also participating in the ceremony was the German ambassador to Cuba, Peter Scholz, who said that he hoped that "the bears are capable of sharing much pleasure and happiness during the next six weeks and attracting visitors from all over. Because I hope that the bears give us much zest for life." The show will be in San Francisco Plaza until the beginning of March of this year and during this time it is expected that a three-foot high replica bear that represents Cuba will be auctioned off.
Havanans have already chosen their preferred bears and stand in line to get their pictures taken in front of the one that represents the Statue of Liberty of the United States. Among the most appreciated also are those of Spain, France and Germany. Meanwhile, the Cuban bear has received several critiques from those who see the inclusion of the cigar as a promotion of the harmful habit of smoking in an exhibit that is aimed mainly at children.
The United Buddy Bears exhibit has been associated with projects by UNICEF and with help for needy children. From donations from local organizations and the auction of some pieces so far about two million euros have been raised for the children. The project promoters Eva and Klaus will accompany the bears during their Havana stay.


Ontario's organic sector keeps on growing.
The Organic Council of Ontario's annual general meeting gave members a chance to learn from each other and to see how the organization works on their behalf. More than 80 people participated in the event held at the beautiful Country Heritage Park in Milton.
This year, three new members were elected to the OCO board of directors, and the resulting board selected an all-new executive committee. A warm welcome to Catriona Ffrench, Krysten Cooper and David Cohlmeyer, our newest board members.
Rob Wallbridge was made President and Chair of the board, while Bill Redelmeier returned to his role as Vice President (he last held the role in 2016), Sarah Grant assumed the position of Secretary, and Joel Aitken became Treasurer. We'd also like to thank outgoing Vice-President Sarah Bakker, Secretary Mary Wales, Producer Representative Derek Beishuizen, and Officer & Treasurer, Lindsay Derat for their service.
Members at the meeting also took time to acknowledge the contributions of Tom Manley, outgoing President & Chair, who provided excellent and much-needed leadership to OCO during a time of great change within the organization.
In addition to the formal Annual General Meeting of the Organic Council of Ontario, a number of informative and sometimes controversial panels were held throughout the day, offering members a chance to learn from their peers and to ask questions of thought leaders, politicians, and other organizations who are involved in some of the key issues facing the organic sector.
Our first session of the day saw an in-depth look at how to regenerate and enrich our soils. Sarah Bakker moderated the discussion by OCO board member Thorsten Arnold, Owen Goltz of Riverdale Farm & Forest, organic consultant Ruth Knight and Dr. Ralph Martin from the University of Guelph. Key points included building a stronger soil stewardship collaboration for farmers, getting a commitment for measuring soil organic content across the province every five years, and to replace dominance of corn, soy and wheat with diversified annual and perennial cropping systems.
Retail representatives offered advice and insight into how to build stronger relationships with consumers. Moderated by Roman Plawiuk, OCO Board Member & Owner-Operator Huron Sun Foods, the panel included Dave Meli from the Healthy Butcher, Cameron Dale from Evergreen, and Emmalea Davis from Mama Earth Organics. Our experts recommended that producers develop a stronger understanding of who buys their products, build their brand online, and learn to tell compelling stories about their products.
Unfair competition for Canadian growers along the border: should they be allowed to sell hydroponic producer directly to the US under the NOP? If not, they may just move operations.
Can there be biological activity in soil-less environments? Is there a difference between aquaponics, bio-ponics and hydroponics in this regard?
Should there be a sub-category label: e.g. organic hydroponic? Sustainable aquaponic?
Barbara Smith from Foodland Ontario offered a number of insights into the provincial marketing initiative. To date, the organization has more than 50 agreements with organic businesses and Smith outlined steps producers can take to successfully work with the Foodland Ontairo Organic designation. Members of OCO and attendees of the forum were pleased to learn more about the program, and some were surprised to hear of its existence. They provided feedback about the branding initiative to date, which OCO will compile.
Sarah Bakker moderated this discussion on the challenges of getting organic meat to market. Participants included Ecocert's Joel Aitken, James Sculthorpe from Yorkshire Valley Farms, Ted Zettel of Zettel Family Farms and the Healthy Butcher's Dave Meli. They discussed the challenges facing organic producer in depth, such as access to cost-effective and nearby processing facilities, marketing strategies, the role of the organic label in face of consumer confusion, and the need to reassess financing options to strengthen organic meat supply chains.
John Saunders, OCO's Policy and Research Coordinator, gave a brief update on Bill 153 (the Organic Products Act) and discussed preliminary findings from this winter's small-producer survey. Overall, respondents supported regulation in theory, but had different perspectives on how to achieve certification for all producers and processor. Executive Director Carolyn Young outlined possible scenarios for introducing a check-off program for organic, with the aim of raising stable and adequate funding to represent the sector's interests.
Carolyn Young moderated this discussion on raising capital for organic production. Panelists included Lars Boggild from Vancity Community Investment Bank, Sally Miller of Local Food and Farm Co-ops, and Anahita Belanger of F2 Inc. Farm Fund. They each offered different perspectives on farm funding, from extending institutional support to smaller producers to coop development to long-term lease-to-own models via pooled capital.
Our final session saw representatives from Ontario's Green Party, Progressive Conservative Party and the Liberal Party discuss how their party would support the organic sector. OCO Vice President Bill Redelmeier moderated the conversation, which saw Green Party leader Mike Schreiner, Liberal MPP Ted McMeekin and Conservative MPP Sylvia Jones all agree on the importance of organic to Ontario, albeit with different approaches to helping it grow. One key result of this conversation was a commitment from McMeekin to support the bill, and even an offer to co-sponsor!
The day concluded with a tractor ride/ tour of the Country Heritage Park and a Local Organic Tasting Experience. Food and drink samples were provided by Ying Ying Soy Food, Cookstown Greens, Southbrook Vineyards, Wagram Springs, Mapleton's Organic, Reimer Vineyards, Frogpond Farm Organic Winery, King's Lock Craft Distillery, St. Brigid's Dairy and the Olivar Corp.
Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant Review Team member Robert Maier was on hand at our reception to congratulate OCO's members on receiving funding to examine how best to meet the needs of small-scale producers considering organic certification.
Thank you so much to volunteers Kristen Howe and Julia Buchan for all their help in keeping the day running smoothly. We would also like to thank our sponsors: The Big Carrot, Mama Earth Organics, Pro-Cert Organic, OCIA, Local Food and Farm Co-ops, National Farmers Union - Ontario, Agricorp, Mapleton's Organic, Crofter's Organic, Pfenning's Organic, Greenbelt Microgreens, Yorkshire Valley Farms, Planet Bean Coffee, Organic Garage, Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, Harmony Organic, and Mike & Mike's Organics. We also offer special thanks to GTA Caterer for coordinating snacks and lunch for the event.

Q: mvvm questions : definition of model, wrapping model objects and modal dialog I'm fairly new to mvvm and I have several questions :
is model = business layer?
if i have a customer model that contains list of orders and list or orders each contains list of items, how would you separate this in a view? At the moment, my CustomerModel have a CustomerViewModel. CustomerViewModel contains list of OrderViewModel. OrderViewModel contains list of ItemsViewModel. So if I retrieve an existing customer from the data layer for example, I would then create the appropiate OrderViewModel and ItemViewModel based on the existing list. Is this how you usually implement mvvm? Honestly, the whole 'rewrapping object' doesnt really feels right.
My customerview contains list of orders and items, each represented by its own user control and repeated using ItemsControl. each item has its own add, edit and delete button. I want to have some sort of modal dialog that is disabling the current tab (not the whole app) while user presented with appropiate form. The easiest solution that I found was by sort of creating a content control that have a control dp (named Control) that you can set and automatically create the rectangle overlay when isVisible = true.  Control then binded to CustomerViewModel's dialogControl property.... I dont see this as a proper mvvm solution as I seems to be muddling the viewmodel with view. I think the more proper way would be having a viewmodel in the customerviewmodel that represent what the dialog contains and provide a template for that in each viewmodel.... but i dont seems to be able to think a way to implement the rectangle overlay with this solution.
Thanks!

A: I've been wrangling with this idea too.  It seems like you have to repeat yourself between the Model and the ViewModel.  The main reason for this is that the Model tends to be a traditional object, and a ViewModel implements INotifyPropertyChanged.  To me, this is the difference - a ViewModel supports bi-directional binding.
Once I thought of it that way, then the Model becomes optional.  In my case, the Model is usually some library code that I bring in, or a generated data access layer.  Or to put it another way, the ViewModel contains the functionality, and the Model is the backing store.
I have even stopped calling my ViewModel classes xxxViewModel or xxxVM.  Now they're just xxx.  However, they all implement from IViewModel, which itself just inherits from INotifyPropertyChanged.
As far as your use of User Controls goes, I have been able to get away with using only DataTemplates for my Views.  In the case of your tabs, the tab's ViewModel should launch the modal dialog, and at the same time should set an Enabled property to false while the dialog is open.  Your tab View should disable itself when it sees the Enabled property is false.


There is a debate in the medical literature about the effect of antidepressants on suicide. It is beginning to show that there is no effect, and possibly and increased risk, of suicide with antidepressant use. Now, I'm not a counselor (and I would refer someone out if I thought it was necessary), but this would sure put a damper on my idea of having ANY patient put on antidepressants. I really do think that, in the psychiatric arena, we have thoroughly botched up the handling of patients with mental disorders. There is never any evaluation of whether or not there is a causative physiological imbalance (underactive hypothyroid, B12 deficiency for depression, heavy metal toxicity, imbalanced antioxidant status for schizophrenia….by the way, if anyone would like to argue that last point…I'd love to send you a ton of medical literature to back it up….) and even less of an attempt to correct the problem w/o drugs (exercise, therapy, fish oils…).

Medical specialty is quite popular among students. If someone dreams about getting medical education abroad, Poland is a great choice. Polish educational institutions offer students high quality of education, diplomas of European recognition and reasonable prices.
Here are advantages of getting medical education in Poland:

Opportunity of getting employment abroad.
The first step to build a career of doctor is to enter a medical university in Poland. In collaboration with the information portal KudaPostupat we have found out how much money does a foreign student need to get medical education.
Polish medical universities are very popular among foreigners because of cheap price of education (comparing to other European countries). Twelve Polish medical universities issue diplomas that are recognized in all European countries and also in the USA, Australia and Canada.

how many buzzballz does it take to get drunk?
The amount of Buzzballz it takes a person to get drunk depends on a variety of factors, including their individual tolerance for alcohol, the amount of alcohol in each Buzzball, and whether or not they already have alcohol in their bloodstream.
Updated Jan 23 2023 | Read Time: 3 minutes
Without knowing the answers to these questions, the average person would get drunk on 3-5 Buzzballz Ready-To-Drink Alcoholic Beverages. That's because they are labeled with a 15% ABV, or 30 proof. In terms of alcohol content, that's more than all but the strongest beers and slightly more than the average wine, but much less that hard liquor.
Question: What is ABV?
Why are Buzzballz popular?
The convenience of not having to buy a whole handle of liquor and the associated mixers is what makes this category of adult beverage so popular. That, and Buzzballz seem to be inline with the single serving size of most pre-mixed cocktails that can be found on the shelves of your local liquor store.
Add to the fun a range of different flavors (cranberry, chocolate, margarita, etc), much liked hard seltzers and canned mixed drinks, and you have yourself a portable party-to-go.
Before we get carried away, know that these also occupy the same category as a Four Loko, only in a much smaller form factor. Alcoholic drinks get marketed to a variety of folks, ya know.
Buzzballz Flavors
From fruit juice to faux-flavored chocolate, Buzzballz cocktails offer patrons of the Buzzball a variety of adult beverages that are a mix of naughty natural flavors and liqueur heroism. Or something like that.
Some boast of orange wine, which might as well just be thought of as cheap Triple Sec. But all are labeled gluten-free, so there's that.
Cran Blaster
Lotta Colada
Peachballz
Stiff Lemonade
Strawberry Rum Job
Tequila Rita
They all seem like the type of flavored drinks that one would serve at a Super Soft Birthday
How fast can you feel the alcohol in Buzzballz?
It always feels like the liquor hits you faster the first time you drink a new drink. While it's most likely in our head - because SCIENCE! - it's entirely possibly that we just aren't prepared for the exact amount of alcohol in a new drink. And that makes sense, we just aren't used to drinking it.
Given that, know that it takes roughly 30 minutes to feel the effects of one standard drink. This is per Bradford Health out of Birmingham, Alabama. There's no way to sober up faster, so keep this in mind when you're tasting the forbidden apple that is booze.
Anecdotally, if this is your beach drink of choice, and you're sitting out in the sun all day, we guarantee (not really) that you will feel a Buzzball much, much faster in your bloodstream. Always drink responsibly.
Buzzballz FAQs
How many shots in a Buzzball?
The average Buzzball contains approximately 4.5 shots by volume. However, the amount of shots with regard to the standard drink in a Buzzball is 1.3 shots.
That's because a true shot is measured as a standard drink. That measurement in terms of spirits is 1.5 fl oz of liquor at approximately 80 proof, or, 40% alcohol content. A Buzzball is 6.76 fl oz with an ABV of 15%.
The percent alcohol in the beverage is what helps determine the overall intoxication rate that you will experience. For example, wine is generally in the 11-14% ABV range. And, it's poured in increments of 4-5 ounces per glass. So a Buzzball on its own is just a bit more powerful than a glass of wine - another measure of a standard drink.
How many calories in a Buzzball?
There are between 200-400 calories per Buzzball. That's because each flavor contains a different amount of carbs and sugars.
What type of alcohol is in a Buzzball?
Vodka, Rum, and/or Tequila are the spirits in a Buzzball. Once again, it comes down to the flavors as to which liquor the company is using to produce them.

Re: Need A Player Online?

I've got an essay due Thursday and am gonna get the book I need to read for it today. so if I can get the reading done tomorrow potentially u will c me on a lot. if not then starting Monday I will b on probably 4 hours a day going back and forth between my essay and tt. there will b times when I need to set tt down and work on the book so that I don't get too far behind. but usually I'm good bout it. I likely will b on as shy or glow_worm. I kinda wanna get shy to the 1000 win club. so I'll b going back and forth cuz I don't wanna jus stop playing on glow_worm.

Try updating your Java and then updating your graphics card drivers. I thought my computer was done with TT forever too until I just updated my graphics card drivers and then everything worked! They even say on the support page that "in 9 out of 10 cases you just need to update your video card drivers". Just give it a go, it will probably work. I had a brand new GPU with the drivers directly installed from the disc and it wasn't working until I actually downloaded the latest updates, so don't give up hope yet!


Each learning model and rationale for learning is discussed and a new model proposed combining all aspects. It is a circular model and the authors emphasize that both learner and teacher can enter that cycle at any point. They conclude with, "The clinical teaching and learning environment is an ideal field for using adult learning theories and demonstrating their utility. Reinforcing clear thinking in both teacher and learner and considering them should improve clinical learning, and even clinical outcomes," (p. e1571).
How do you implement adult learning theories into the breastfeeding and Baby-Friendly Hospital education? What have you found to be most effective? What doesn't work (think "death by PowerPoint" or six hours of lecturing!!)?
Keep up that hard work in assisting your facility staff to learn...you'll see the benefits at some point!

11 announcements you may have missed from the 2021 Singapore Budget
Accounting Economics 22 Feb 2021
Singapore unveiled an expansionary Budget 2021 that balances providing additional support to help businesses and people manage through COVID-19 together with reforms to deal with long-term challenges.
By Geeta Balakrishnan
While the S$11 billion COVID-19 Resilience Package, additional support for businesses and workers, and sustainability initiatives such as Green Plan 2030 took prominence in CPA Australia's original budget coverage, there's a raft of other interesting and impactful measures you may have missed.
Here are 11 additional measures from the budget you may not be aware of.
1. GST on imported non-digital services
A goods and services tax (GST) will be imposed on imported non-digital services to bring them into line with the GST treatment of imported digital services. Effective 1 January 2023, overseas businesses that supply non-digital services to consumers based in Singapore will be required to register via the overseas vendor registration (OVR) regime and charge GST.
Imported business-to-consumer (B2C) digital services have been subject to GST since 1 January 2020. Imported low-value goods will also be subject to GST from the same date, although implementation details have yet to be finalised by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
2. Changing tax principles for the digital economy
The basis for applying GST to media sales (e.g. advertisements) will be changed to "the place where the contractual customer and direct beneficiary of the service belong", effective 1 January 2022. In short, if a customer of the service belongs outside Singapore media sales will be zero-rated, while if a customer belongs in Singapore they will be standard-rated. However, the development of digital technologies has changed how media sales are supplied and currently makes it challenging for suppliers of digital media sales to determine where they are circulated.
3. Encouraging capital expenditure
To encourage investment and to help stimulate the economy, the government announced extensions to several tax incentives:
Loss carry-back relief. The ability of businesses to elect to carry back unabsorbed capital allowances and trade losses will be extended until the year of assessment (YA) 2021. The scheme is capped at S$100,000 and subject to other conditions, including that the taxpayer can only carry it back for up to three YAs immediately preceding YA 2021.
Accelerated write-off of plant and machinery. The option for businesses to accelerate the cost write-off of capital expenditure incurred on the acquisition of plant and machinery has been extended until YA 2022 (or fiscal year 2021).
Accelerated renovation and refurbishment deductions. The option for taxpayers to claim qualifying renovation and refurbishment expenditure as deductions in one YA will be extended until YA 2022.
The 100 per cent investment allowance scheme to support automation. Automation projects approved by Enterprise Singapore will continue to be eligible for the 100 per cent allowance on the amount of approved capital expenditure, capped at S$10 million per project. The scheme now expires on 31 March 2023.
4. Managing the cost of hiring foreign workers
Foreign worker levy (FWL) rates will not change for all sectors. The increase previously announced for the maritime shipyard and process sectors will be deferred for a year. Rate changes anticipated for S Pass holders and services and manufacturing sector work permit holders (WPH) will now be announced in 2022.
5. Spurring digital innovation
Launched in 2018, the Open Innovation Platform (OIP) presents problem statements identified by "problem owners"; e.g. lead sector agencies and trade associations and chambers to "problem solvers" such as entrepreneurs, start-ups, companies, and technology innovators to create innovative digital solutions. It will be enhanced with two new features:
"Discovery engine" – automated searching and matching of technology solutions to challenges; and
"Digital bench" – a virtual sandbox and testing environment for quicker proof of concept testing.
The improvements should allow more companies to participate in co-innovation and digital transformation, fast-track prototype development and potentially reduce the time to commercialisation.
6. Co-funding digital transformation
To encourage and accelerate the growth of new digital capabilities, the government will co-fund the chief technology officer-as-a-service initiative, which will allow small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) access to professional IT consultants for end-to-end digital advice and downstream implementation support.
It will also further facilitate the digital leaders program, which provides the capability and financial support for promising, high potential local companies to build technology leadership and expertise in-house, and develop and implement digital transformation roadmaps.
7. Supporting internationalisation through a special tax deduction
The Double Tax Deduction for Internationalisation (DTDi) scheme allows businesses a 200 per cent tax deduction on qualifying market expansion and investment development expenses. The scheme is being enhanced to cover new categories of expenses incurred and new activities on or after 17 February 2021. The updated list of qualifying activities and expenses available for DTDi will be available on the Enterprise Singapore website shortly.
8. Enhancing the financial sector's competitiveness
Withholding tax (WHT) exemptions for the financial sector will be extended and rationalised. These include:
WHT exemption on payments for structured products offered by Singapore financial institutions, which will be extended for five years from 31 March 2021.
WHT exemption for payments on over-the-counter financial derivatives by a Singapore financial institution will also be extended.
9. Supporting children's education-related expenses
Each Singaporean child up to the age of 20 in 2021 will receive a one-off top-up of S$200 to their child development, Edusave, or post-secondary education accounts based on their age and education level. The top-up to the Edusave account is in addition to the annual Edusave contribution the government makes.
Children studying in government-funded special education schools will also receive an Edusave top-up, regardless of their age. Others with special needs will also receive a top-up to their relevant accounts based on the child's age.
10. Encouraging corporate volunteerism
The special tax deduction for qualifying expenditure under the Business and IPC Partnership Scheme (BIPs) will be extended until 31 December 2023. Businesses currently receive a 250 per cent tax deduction on wages and other qualifying expenses related to staff that volunteer or provide services to institutions of a public character (IPC).
11. Businesses as 'donation collection agents'
To incorporate "giving opportunities" into customer transactions, the government will provide a one-off enabler grant to businesses to cover a portion of one-off development costs needed to integrate or enhance the donation functions in their customer payment platforms. This comes under the ComChest (Community Chest) "Change for Charity Grant" that will run from the financial year 2021 to 2025.

Accounting Economics COMMENTS
Tasmanian budget: modest spending while economy remains strong
Tasmania's 2021-22 budget affirms that its lock out approach during lockdowns helped it to record strong growth. But as Australia moves to an 80 per cent vaccination rate, this strategy is reaching its expiry date.
NSW budget: A grab bag of measures to support the economy
The 2021-22 budget delivers an expansionary budget that increases the fiscal deficit for the coming financial year. While NSW is experiencing a faster-than-expected economic recovery, it won't get to full recovery until successful vaccine roll-out and re-opening of Australia's international borders.
Queensland budget: sound strategy but economy still in a COVID straitjacket
The 2021-22 budget has a jobs fund as its centrepiece but the state won't experience full economic recovery until a successful national COVID-19 vaccine roll-out and re-opening of Australia's international borders.

Q: Passing HTML variable into Jquery I want to pass variable in Jquery. variable contains path of a csv file.
like: x = /data/files/12.csv
now I want to pass this x variable in jquery and also access it in jquery code.
Can anybody help me in solving this?
Thanks

A: I would set a hidden input to the value and reference that with javascript/jQuery.  For example:
HTML:
<input id="myFile" type=hidden value="/data/files/12.csv">

JQuery:
var myFile = $('#myFile').val();

A: You can make it a global variable (though global variables are generally not preferred):
window.csv = '/data/files/12.csv'

Or you can associate the data with a set of matched element using jQuery's data method:
$('#exampleElem').data('csv', '/data/files/12.csv');

Or you can pass the data through an event handler:
$('#exampleBtn').bind(
    'click',
    { csv: '/data/files/12.csv' },
    function() { /* handle the click */ }
);

There are certainly other ways as well. Which method you pick is up to you and your situation.

Q: testing an istream object When I use an std::istream object (in the example below from cplusplus.com, an std::ifstream) in a test : "if (myistreamobject)", the object, which is automatically allocated in the stack is never null, right ?... in the example below, we are using the same test to check if all the bytes were read from the file... and that's really a strange code, I usually use that style when I'm dealing with pointers...
I want to know which mechanism is used in std::istream to return a value in tests, and what that value really means... (the success/failure of the last operation ??) is it an overloading of a bool cast (like the const char* operator cast in the MFC class CString) or it is another technique ?
Because the object is never null, so putting it in a test will always return true.
// read a file into memory
#include <iostream>     // std::cout
#include <fstream>      // std::ifstream

int main () {

  std::ifstream is ("test.txt", std::ifstream::binary);
  if (is) {
    // get length of file:
    is.seekg (0, is.end);
    int length = is.tellg();
    is.seekg (0, is.beg);

    char * buffer = new char [length];

    std::cout << "Reading " << length << " characters... ";
    // read data as a block:
    is.read (buffer,length);

    if (is) // <== this is really odd
      std::cout << "all characters read successfully.";
    else
      std::cout << "error: only " << is.gcount() << " could be read";
    is.close();

    // ...buffer contains the entire file...

    delete[] buffer;
  }
  return 0;
}

A: if (expression)

tests it expression evaluates to true which is a boolean. It works for pointers because nullptr/NULL/0 evaluate to false, and everything else true. It works for integral values for the same reason.
For an object, it falls to operator bool(), see http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_ios/operator_bool.

Checks whether the stream has no errors.
1) Returns a null pointer if fail() returns true, otherwise returns a non-null pointer. This pointer is implicitly convertible to bool and may be used in boolean contexts.
2) Returns true if the stream has no errors and is ready for I/O operations. Specifically, returns !fail().
This operator makes it possible to use streams and functions that return references to streams as loop conditions, resulting in the idiomatic C++ input loops such as while(stream >> value) {...} or while(getline(stream, string)){...}.
Such loops execute the loop's body only if the input operation succeeded.

A: The
operator bool()

returns true if the stream has no errors, false otherwise.
The "no error" concept is something related with the previous operation done on the stream itself.
For example: after you invoke the constructor
std::ifstream is ("test.txt", std::ifstream::binary);

A internal status flag in the stream object is set. So when you invoke the operator bool you check whether the construction operation fails or not.
Moreover the method
is.read(...)

also set this internal status flag, as you can see in the reference:

Errors are signaled by modifying the internal state flags: eofbit, failbit, badbit.

So after the method call, if the stream reaches the EOF (end-of-file) the state bit is set, and the operator bool will return a positive value.
That means in that case when you test the stream with
if (is) { ... }

and the status bit is set, then the condition will be verified and the if-branch will be taken.

A: std::istream has operator declared right this:
explicit operator bool() const;
When you write
if(SomeStdIstremObject) { ... } really is calling if(SomeStdIstreamObject.operator bool()) not checking for non zero

Why Mexican style is a look for now
The modern houses of Mexico fuse artisanal craftsmanship and antiques with a contemporary attitude. Here Annie Kelly, author of new book Casa Mexico: At Home in Merida and the Yucatan, talks us through a new breed of artists, designers, sculptors and architects building colourful, bohemian homes in the regions of Merida and the Yucatan.
If you could travel in Mexico back in time five hundred years, the town of Mérida - then known by its Mayan name of T'ho - would already be stretched out on the low, flat Yucatán plain. Today, its busy streets look like a typical cheerful and colorful Mexican metropolis, but this small city - considered to be one of the oldest continually occupied settlements in the Americas - also has an otherworldly character, and, thanks to the Mayans, an even richer cultural heritage than most other towns dating from this period.
Colonized over 470 years ago by the Spanish adventurer Francisco de Montejo, today Mérida has a historic center that is one of the largest in Mexico. To solidify Spanish control of the city, all the surrounding pyramids were torn down, and their huge stone blocks were used as the foundation for what is today the oldest cathedral on the North American continent - the Cathedral of San Ildefonso, which was finished in 1598. This somewhat weather-beaten and venerable edifice is found on the main plaza next to several other historic buildings, including the Casa de Montejo of 1549, the grand former home of de Montejo, who is also considered the conqueror of the entire Yucatán Peninsula. Many of Mérida's original arched town gates can be seen in the earliest parts of the city. Mérida is still the cultural and financial capital of the region, and for a brief period in the late nineteenth century, thanks to the production of sisal, it was one of the richest towns in Mexico. As a result, a treasure trove of large-scale houses remains, many with original architectural features dating from a hundred years ago or more.
Today, a new breed of Yucatecan is moving into many of the buildings, renovating and restoring them to create full-time or even second or third homes. Hailing from Mexico City, Europe, Los Angeles, and New York, this rapidly growing community of artists, sculptors, designers, and architects is inspired by the skill and craftsmanship of the local Mayans as well as their desire to build a more adventurous and colorful life here on the Yucatán Peninsula.
Residential Mérida reveals itself slowly to the visitor once you penetrate its defenses. The town is full of surprises. Indoor proportions are often huge, with twenty-foot-high ceilings and doors that open to reveal enfilades of tiled room after room. Metal hooks are built into almost every wall, spaced perfectly for hanging hammocks; these make bedrooms very informal and are comfortable to sleep in during hot evenings.
About a twenty-mile-drive inland from the sea, Mérida is relatively protected from the annual hurricanes that sweep through the Caribbean. As a precaution, its houses are mostly compact one-story buildings, with gardens defined and sheltered within inner high-walled private courtyards. Outdoor life is either lived inside these family compounds or more publicly in the numerous town squares. From the buzzing markets at Mercado Lucas de Gálvez and dancers performing the Yucatecan jarana in the Parque Santa Lucía to the vaquería performed by the Ballet Folklorico de Mérida in front of the Municipal Palace, Mérida is a town full of color and movement.
We fell in love with the Yucatán over twenty years ago when we toured the nearby iconic pre-Columbian pyramids Chichen Itza and Uxmal. Today, the whole region has grown into a fashionable and popular destination, constantly featured in a wide variety of travel and design articles in newspapers and magazines all over the world. We found it most expeditious to begin the photography for this book in Mérida, and then use the town as a base to travel around the rest of the Yucatán to explore the contemporary evolution of Mexican interior design and exterior decoration, which, thanks to skilled local craftsmen and artisans, are ever-changing, always joyful, and deeply inspirational.
