After a week with the Samsung Galaxy S8, CIO.com senior writer, Sarah White, finds a lot to love about the device besides it's stunning design and impressive display.
Since receiving my review unit of the Samsung Galaxy S8, I've barely reached for my iPhone 6. And while I test the device for my in-depth enterprise review, I've stumbled across some features I think are underrated.
The most prominent features of the S8 are easy to spot and highly publicized -- the bezel-free Infinity Display, the Super AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution and virtual integrated home button. The design and display drew me in, but I've found a lot more to love about the Galaxy S8 -- even in some areas I least expected. Here are the five most surprising features I've found on the Samsung Galaxy S8.
The bezel free design allowed Samsung to pack a 5.8-inch inch display into a 5.86-inch form factor -- to put it simply, this phone is all screen. This is great news if, like me, you've found past Android devices too large or uncomfortable to hold. The tapered edges add another level of comfort and I found it just as comfortable to hold and use with one hand as my iPhone 6. But my favorite thing about all the screen real estate is that it makes the multi-window feature on Android Nougat usable.
On smaller Android displays, I don't find multi-windows usable, but on the S8's taller display, I had more than enough room to make use of the feature. Once I got the hang of the different gestures, commands and features, it became intuitive. I used the feature to constantly float apps like Spotify or Google Hangouts in the corner while I scrolled through Twitter or browsed the web. I wound up using the multi-windows more often than I had expected, docking YouTube or Amazon at the top of my display while I kept up on a group chat below. At this point, exiting and opening apps over and over to respond to messages or check notifications feels archaic.
Android notifications have never been elegant, so that's why I was delighted to see Samsung's Edge Notifications; they are simple and stunning. With Edge notifications, a blue light travels around the edges of the display, which sounds cheesy, but it's aesthetically pleasing and easy to ignore.
The subtle light is accompanied by a thin bubble at the top of the screen that displays the app icon and some brief text. It's far less intrusive than the standard Android block notifications and Apple's pop-up notifications, which can get annoying fast if you have an active group chat and you're trying to watch YouTube video or read an article.
The Edge notifications aren't perfect. I'd like to have more control over the notification settings and even the option to turn off the Edge lighting in certain situations. And some apps, like Android Messages and Samsung's stock messaging app still displayed the traditional notifications with the edge notifications. However, these are all software fixes, and I'm excited to see what Samsung does with these sleek notifications in the future.
This minimalism extends to the lock screen, too. You can opt to see notification icons instead of the traditional alerts. Small, delicate app icons pop up to indicate unread messages and alerts -- double tapping on the app icon will display more information about the notification. With the icons only setting, my lock screen never looks cluttered or overrun with notifications and I found it less distracting, overall.
You'll hear a lot about the Galaxy S8 fingerprint reader -- mostly because it's been relegated to the back. The Verge reports that Synaptics didn't have the technology for an integrated fingerprint ready in time for the launch date -- the same issue Apple is reportedly facing with the rumored iPhone 8.
I personally don't care for fingerprint readers and I went in expecting the worst, but after a week of use, I've been pleasantly surprised at the ways I've made it work. I can't say the S8 fingerprint reader frustrates me anymore a smartphone with a home-button fingerprint reader. And once I slapped a case on the device, it became easier to blindly locate the fingerprint reader, avoiding the dreaded camera smudge.
If you swipe up and down on the fingerprint reader, you can pull the Notification Panel up and down. I liked this better than trying to reach my thumb to the top of the display. I also keep my phone face down for more than half of the day, whether I'm in a meeting, or trying to avoid distractions at work or out with friends. In those situations, I can place my finger on the reader as I pick the device up, unlocking the display before I even turn it over.
The location isn't ideal, but I prefer it as a design choice -- S8 cases would be ugly and ineffective if they needed a cut out large camera and another cutout for the fingerprint reader below.
I never thought I would see the day when I counted Samsung's TouchWiz as a plus. But on the Galaxy S8, Samsung's Android skin is more refined and user-friendly than ever. I appreciate stock Android as much as the next tech-enthusiast, but for the average consumer, Android can be a mess of configurations and menus. Apple's popularity proves that plenty of users aren't interested in drilling down to fine-tune every notification and setting, they just want a phone that works.
TouchWiz makes room for both experiences -- you can customize each detail to your liking, or you can change settings at a high-level and get on with your life -- just like an iOS user. The software on the Galaxy S8 is easier to use and Samsung includes features that guide the user around the software, offering suggestions for other settings or features you might be looking for.
Samsung's bloatware is still there -- but it's tucked away nicely into a folder. It's less intrusive than in the past, and it doesn't annoy me anymore than the folder of stock Apple apps I never touch on my iPhone. Samsung no longer forces its proprietary apps on you and lets you decide which apps serve you best. And on the S8 I can tuck the folder away into my App Drawer, instead of making room for it on my home screen.
One of the most underrated features on the Galaxy S8 is the Bluetooth 5, which lets you stream audio to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. It features greater range and a stronger, faster and more reliable connection than Bluetooth 4. It's a small feature, but reliable Bluetooth is becoming increasingly important, especially as connected devices continue to grow.
Having the latest Bluetooth in the S8 won't just make it easier to stream to more than one set of headphones or speaker, but you also won't have to worry about compatibility over the life span of your smartphone. It's also the first device to feature Bluetooth 5 -- and, while it won't be the last, it might be months before another flagship device ships with Bluetooth 5.

Battle of the Bunnies: METRO vs. Bellaire
Houston Press | August 20, 2008 | 7:32am
Bellaire city council was happy about the new Bellaire Route No. 2 Quickline service that METRO will be inaugurating later this month – until it saw the street poles and street signs that came with it. As part of the service, there were supposed to be banners announcing the service (three banners before each stop, followed by three banners after each stop) and Q bunnies (drawings on the street of bunnies formed around the Metro Q logo) along the street. The trouble is METRO installed the poles and bunny signs without telling Bellaire officials.
Bellaire City Council members James Avioli, Sr. and Pat McLaughlan complained about the poles and METRO's failure to inform them of the signs. The Bellaire Examiner reported that McLaughlan said, "It's hard to describe how outraged I am when METRO comes into our city, pops a pole in our sidewalk, puts a post in, with no regard for the mobility of the sidewalk."
"Who do they think they are? Where do they get off?" he said.
METRO spokesperson Raequel Roberts tells Hair Balls there was simply a failure to communicate about the promotional aspects of the line, "We thought that they understood but they didn't.
"We've had conversations with them about the technical aspects of the service but evidently the discussion on the aesthetics and markings wasn't covered. We've come to a resolution with them – the poles will come down. The bunnies will stay."
We rode up and down Bellaire this afternoon and saw several blank poles that seemed to be up near bus stops, but maybe those are other blank poles and not METRO's. — Olivia Flores Alvarez

The Sino-US trade negotiations continue at the end of the month, the risk cooling down. In addition, the performance of US companies was better than market expectations, and the investment climate improved, driving the US Dow to rise. German Prime Minister and European Parliament officials said that they will continue negotiations with the UK to avoid the risk of a hard Brexit at the end of March, and may help the UK to postpone the Brexit time. The GBP exchange rate is supported, breaking the important resistance of 1.30 and becoming the main currency against the US dollar. The most prominent currency.
Beijing time tonight, ECB interest rate decision and monetary policy announcement. The market expects interest rates to remain unchanged, but pay attention to ECB President Draghi's remarks. If the dovish speech is maintained, the euro will have a limited increase against the US dollar.
In the evening, the European Central Bank announced the results of the interest rate meeting and expressed its enlightenment on the future monetary policy orientation. After the meeting, the speech of the ECB president will become the focus of the market, and the fluctuation of the euro will arise. If the ECB strengthens its dovish remarks, it may cause the euro to continue falling against the dollar. At present, the overall trend of the euro remains on the sidelines, the exchange rate remains at 1.13 level to 1.14 resistance, please pay attention to trading risks.
The UK avoided hard Brexit and boosted European currencies, and the Swiss franc indirectly rose. The market is currently awaiting the ECB's interest rate and monetary policy. Technically, it is estimated that the US dollar against the Swiss franc is developing within the range of 0.99. If the euro rises further, the dollar will break through 0.9900 support against the Swiss franc.
The US Dow and the Nikkei Index drive the dollar against the yen. In addition, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said that the Bank of Japan's monetary policy is expected to remain unchanged and the current quantitative easing monetary policy will continue. The rhetoric has kept the yen at risk of falling. Technically, USD/JPY will have the opportunity to maintain above 109.30. If the market risk continues to cool, the stock market will rise, and the USD/JPY is expected to test 110.
The Australian dollar regained above 0.7145, mainly due to Australia's announcement that employment data improved last month and the unemployment rate fell. Secondly, Sino-US trade negotiations, relations improved, both sides agreed to meet at the end of the month. The Sino-US trade negotiations have made progress and the Australian dollar has the opportunity to go up.
The day before, New Zealand's fourth quarter CPl annual growth rate is better than expected. Australia's employment has improved this morning. The New Zealand dollar has broken through the 200-hour moving average resistance and further challenged 0.68. Coupled with the improvement of Sino-US trade negotiations, the New Zealand dollar can rise.
The crude oil futures prices fell, Canadian retail sales fell, bad for the Canadian dollar. The current technical extension extends to 1.3330, and may even hit 38% of the rebound, to 1.3365 resistance. But if the crude oil price breaks through the $55 resistance, there will be a chance to pull the dollar against the Canadian dollar to 1.3235 or 1.3215. It is recommended to pay attention to the US crude oil inventory report tomorrow morning to observe the development of crude oil prices and the Canadian dollar.
The Brexit incident is waiting for progress, easing market tensions and boosting the pound. On the contrary, the Eurozone data is still weak, monetary policy tends to doves, bad euros, and the euro fell against the pound.
The euro was slowed down against the Swiss franc and continued to rebound last week. Technically, focus on the important resistance of 1.1345. If the EURCHF break through the resistance, it can expect to test 1.14. Please keep an eye on the European Central Bank's monetary policy, whether it will bring the euro to a weak position and change the trend of the euro against the Swiss franc.
The risk of hard Brexit in the UK has cooled down. At present, the Sino-US trade negotiation relationship has improved. The US Dow and Asian stock markets have risen, and the price of gold has downward pressure. Technically, the current technology key position is $1,277.
US crude oil inventories rose sharply and crude oil prices fell. As expected in this analysis yesterday, the market is worried that the European and Chinese economies lack momentum and demand for crude oil falls. When investing, it must be noted that crude oil prices may limit the increase and have the opportunity to adjust the decline.
Sino-US trade negotiations improved, and the US Dow rose. At present, China and the United States are awaiting negotiations, and it is expected that the performance of US companies will support the rise of the US Dow. However, it must be noted that when the results of individual US companies are announced, there is a large fluctuation in the stock market, and it is recommended to be careful about trading.
Under the Fed monetary policy forecasts and the cryptocurrencies market. If the US Dow index keeping up, which is negative for the crypto market. If the Dow go down, it maybe support the crypto currencies rebound. Technically, the bitcoin price will testing the support at 3470. If rebound, the first target maybe set at 3750.

Redeveloped College conference centre launched by HRH The Princess Royal
The redeveloped Physicians International Conference Centre at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh was officially opened today (1 February 2019) by HRH The Princess Royal.
hrh_plaque_5.jpg
Costing £3.5million, the conference centre redevelopment transforms the event experience for delegates and visitors, creating Edinburgh's newest and one of its largest city centre conference venues.
The Royal visit coincided with the College's flagship Futuristic Medicine conference which was arranged to mark the official opening.
As guest of honour, The Princess Royal toured the new facilities, chatting with those involved in the conference, and joined the almost 200 delegates in the new facilities. The Princess Royal is an Honorary Fellow of the College, and previously opened a refurbishment of part of the historic buildings in 1991. She is known to have a keen interest in issues relating to health, medicine and research.
Commenting on the opening, College President Professor Derek Bell OBE said:
It is an honour to welcome HRH The Princess Royal to our wonderful, refurbished conference centre. We are particularly proud of our new facility – refurbishing any building is a complex task, but more so when the buildings in question are nearly 300 years old.
As an Honorary Fellow of the College, it is very fitting that Her Royal Highness should open what is a new chapter in the long and illustrious history of this great Edinburgh institution.
Allan McKain, the College's Venue Manager added:
It is exciting for us to be able to show off our wonderful new facilities to such an honoured guest, and Her Royal Highness took the time to join the conference that was running as well as meet a few of the poster exhibitors. We are now looking forward to working with these new facilities and opening them up to as wide an audience as possible.
Located in Edinburgh's New Town, The Physicians International Conference Centre at The Royal College boasts one of Edinburgh's largest auditoriums and a range of modern and historic meeting rooms. The auditorium can host up to 300 delegates and is equipped with state of the art audio-visual and teleconference systems.
One of the main drivers of the refurbishment was to make the Physicians International Conference Centre and the wider College more accessible. The venue now includes a newly redesigned and refurbished reception and foyer, a new public exhibition space, upgraded conferencing facilities, and a new, fully accessible entrance on Queen Street. The refurbishment also created a dedicated exhibition space where the College can display its historic collection of books and items.
1. The College also runs as a venue, and has a suits of rooms and conferencing facilities available, from grand Georgian to ultra-contemporary https://venue.rcpe.co.uk/.

Background: Little is known about how parental gender equality early in their children lives can influence daughters' decision to use contraceptive pills. Aim: The study aimed at exploring whether maternal working time and paternity leave in Sweden during the first two years of their daughters' lives is associated with the use of oral contraceptives when they are adolescents or young adults. Materials and Methods: The study population was selected from a cohort of all Swedish fathers and mothers who had their first child together between 1988 and 1989 (n = 57,520 family units). Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the association. Results: Mothers' longer working time was mildly associated with daughters' oral contraceptive pill use, though no clear trend was observed. Longer paternity leave periods (>30 days) were not associated with use of oral contraceptives among their daughters, but 1-30 day periods showed a mild positive association. Conclusion: For maternal working time, there seems to be an association, but trends by working hours are not clear. There is no clear association between paternity leave during the first two years of their daughters' life and the use of oral contraceptives when they are adolescents and young adults.

Early parenthood is an event that may disrupt academic attainment and occupational success, and certain birth control methods, such as oral contraceptive pill (OCP) can help to decrease these sorts of risks. [1],[2] The OCP has been become an effective, safe, and cheap way to prevent unwanted pregnancies since 1950 and became available to the public in the mid-1960 s. [3],[4],[5] The efficacy of OCP (99%) is higher compared to the condom (92%) when used correctly. [4],[6] Access to OCP in Sweden is gained by prescription from a local physician or mid-wife at youth clinic. Although studies suggest that younger women are now more concerned about side effects when considering use of OCPs, [7],[8],[9] still a large number of women in Sweden start using OCPs during their teenage. [6] The finding also identifies that women with higher education and higher income are more likely to access OCP than that of other women. [10]
Young women gradually become more independent from families of origin as they grow up, but parents' previous and current involvement may still have an influential effect on their daughters' decision making. Many early studies suggest that the relationship of parents and children and parenting style are related to adolescents or young adult's sexual behavior and contraceptive use. [11],[12] Parenting style in early childhood is related with young adults' sexual health behavior, for example, neglectful parenting may affect on young women's sexual risk behavior in young adulthood. [13] The findings suggest that parental leave may be a cost-effective method for children's well-being. [14]
In 1974, Sweden became the first country in the world to allow fathers to take paid parental leave to decrease the gap of gender equality and expand men's contribution in the household. [15],[16] Although gender equality is highly appreciated in Sweden, men take only 20% of parental leave days. [17] Gender equality has an impact on fertility and childbearing issues that often nowadays assumed in family-demographic research. [18],[19] In this regard, fathers' uptake of parental leave increases paternal involvement to promote gender equality at the couple level, but also to strengthen the emotional bonds between fathers and children. [20]
Parental involvement into the sexual behavior of their children not only increases use of contraception among adolescent women, it is also linked to the probability of using specific birth control methods. [12],[21] In addition, of many factors that may influence adolescent and young adult women's decision to use OCPs, the role of parental gender equality may play, has not been investigated yet in the best of our knowledge. This study addresses these gaps by examining parental gender equality during first two years of their daughters' lives as a possible predictor, which may affect daughters' decision to use OCPs.
The overall aim of the study was to explore the association between parental gender equality, indicated by maternal working hours (MWHs) and paternity leave (PL; during first two years of childbirth), and OCP use among their daughters at adolescence or young adulthood.
The study was designed as a longitudinal population-based study by linking Swedish registry data. The study population was drawn from a cohort that encompasses all Swedish fathers and mothers (n = 118,278 family units) who had their first child together in 1988 and 1989. The data were collected from the Multigenerational Register (Statistics Sweden) in collaboration with researchers based at the Department of Public Health Sciences at Karolinska Institutet. The registered data were used for all individuals in the study as follows: the Swedish Population and Housing Census of 1990 (Statistics Sweden) including information on working hours; the information on PL days was collected from Social Insurance Register (National Social Insurance Board); and the Drug Register (National Board of Health and Welfare) provided information on those who filled OCPs prescriptions. The Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labour Market Studies (LISA) and the Migration Register (Statistics Sweden), comprised information on age and country of birth. Education collected from the Swedish National Population and Housing. Cohabitation status (2005-07) of parents was collected from the Swedish National Population and Housing registry, and inpatient care (2005-07) of daughters was collected from the Hospital Patient Register (Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare).
All boys have been excluded from the data set because OCP is not available or effective on male reproduction. The final analysis included a total of 57,520 family units in which daughters with paternity leave were a total of 57,520 as well as daughters with MWHs were 42,160. A total of 15,360 participants' information about MWHs was missing. It is mainly due to internal missing. However, the analyses have been performed by excluding the missing information [see [Figure 1].
Figure 1: Flow chart for selection of study subjects
Outcome assessment
OCP use among daughters was considered as outcome variable in this study. The outcome variable was collected from the Drug Register during the period of 1 st July 2005 to 30 th June 2008. This period was chosen so that the average age of daughters in this study group were 19 years old and age span between 17-21 years. The number of OCP prescriptions among daughters ranged between 1 and 22 times, but data were categorized dichotomously. All daughters who used OCP at least once were categorized into "any use" and the rest were classified as "no use".
Exposure assessment
Maternal working time
The data on MWHs were collected from the Swedish Population Housing Censuses who worked in 1990. Maternal working hour was used as an exposure because parental leave is usually used during the first two years of a child's life and the mother can prefer part-time or full-time work during this time. The age range of the daughters in the full cohort was between 1-3 years in 1990. Maternal working hour has been counted two years after the child birth, and was made into four categories: 0, 1-19, 20-34, >34 hours per week.
Swedish PL was introduced in 1974, which enabled fathers to take paid PL until their children become 8 years old. In 1980, additional ten days so called "daddy days" in connection with childbirth was introduced exclusively to be used by the father. Sweden offered parents 360 days per child for the period from January 1988 to June 1989 and 450 days from July 1989, of which 270 days were paid at 80% of their income (around 210,000 SEK yearly). The remaining days were remunerated at a basic rate of 60 Swedish crowns (SEK) per day. [15],[16] Paternity leave was included as a number of remunerated days (i.e., categories into 0, 1-30, 31-90, >90 days) during the periods of 1988-1990, come from the Swedish Social Insurance Register (Social Insurance Registry).
Confounders
There are number of factors that may confound the association between parental gender equality and the considered OCP uses among daughters were: mother's age was categorized into four groups (≥23, 24-28, 29-33, >33 years); education categorized as ≤9 year's education, >9 years to college education, ≥2year's college/university to PhD education level; country of birth dichotomized into Swedish and non-Swedish; cohabitation status (2005-07) of parents, whether parents live together or not; and inpatient care (2005-07) of daughters treated as a dichotomized variable (0 = no; 1 = yes).
Firstly, a descriptive analysis of baseline characteristics was made. Secondly, chi-square tests were used to identify potential differences of the proportions of daughters' OCP use by MWHs and PL.
Thirdly, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between parental gender equality and OCP use among daughters. Crude analyses were performed to assess the potential association between PL and OCP use among daughters and between MWHs and daughters' OCP use. Before entering into the final logistic regression model, all possible variables either being significant or acting as confounders in the multivariate analyses were kept in the model. Confounders were chosen considering the extent of changes of estimates in the multivariate model and on the partial likelihood ratio test. Decisions on potential collinearity between variables were based on Pearson correlation coefficients. The final analyses were performed by adjusting potential confounders. The first analysis was performed between PL with all potential confounders and OCP use among daughters; second analysis was assessed MWHs with all confounders and daughters' OCP use. Odd ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed to estimate the relationship between parental gender equality and OCP use among daughters. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
All statistical analyses were performed with IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.
The ethical considerations regarding aim, materials and methods are within the ethical approval of Karolinska Institute Research Committee with reference the number: 2008/363-31/5.
The descriptive statistics of MWH, PL, and covariates are presented in [Table 1]. For maternal working time, 23.9% of the women reported no working hours, but 36% and 30.8% reported 20-34 and >34 hours, respectively. For paternity leave, 46.8% showed 0 days, with decreasing proportions in the other categories (1-30 d: 24.5%; 31-90 d: 15.5%, and >90 d: 13.2%).
Table 1: Distribution of characteristics for the fathers, mothers, and daughters including parental gender equality indicators (maternal working time and paternity leave) and potential confounders (age, country of birth, education, cohabitant, and inpatient care)
[Table 2] presents the difference of "no use" and "any use" of OCP among daughters by MWH and PL are both statistically significant. However, the proportion of 'no use' and 'any use' of OCPs are gradually decreased according to the number of fathers' take up PL days, but the proportion for both "no use" and "any use" of OCP among daughters is almost the same trend by MWHs.
Table 2: Percentage of oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use among daughters by parental gender equality indicators
[Table 3] presents the odd ratio (OR) for parental gender equality indicators and the OCP use among daughters. The crude analyses between MWH and OCP use among daughters indicate that 1-19 hours of MWHs are not associated to use OCPs among daughters (OR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.95-1.12), whereas daughters in 20-34 hours of MWH shows an association with the use of OCPs among daughters (OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.10-1.23). After controlling for confounders, there is still no significant association between 1-19 hours of mother's working hours and daughters' OCPs use. However, more than 20 hours work among mothers is positively associated with OCP use among daughters, compared to the mothers who work 0 hours.
Table 3: Logistic regression with odds ratios (OR) for the association between parental gender equality
indicated by maternal working time and paternity leave, and the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use among daughters
The crude analyses between PL and daughters' OCPs use demonstrate that daughters in family units where fathers took 1-30 days of PL are more likely to use OCP (OR 1.61; 95% CI: 1.54-1.69) than fathers with 0 days of leave. Daughters whose fathers took more than 90 days paternity leave are also more likely to use pills (OR 1.14; 95% CI: 1.08-1.21), compared to fathers who took 0 days of leave. When age, country of birth, education, inpatient care and cohabitant status are controlled for, the results show that daughters whose fathers took 1-30 days of leave are still significantly associated to use of OCP (OR = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.06-1.17), whereas no statistically significant association remained in the other categories.
The purpose of this study was to examine how parental gender equality, as measured by MWH and PL, first 2 years of their daughters' early lives is related to daughters' use of OCPs at adolescence and young adulthood. A positive association was observed between MWH and OCP use among daughters, though the trend by working periods was not clear. However, the result between PL and daughter's OCP use did not reveal any clear association as a whole.
The results shed light on MWHs and daughter's OCP use by indicating that having a mother who worked more than 20 hours was positively associated with the use of OCP, compared to having a mother who worked less than 20 hours. The reason may be that mothers, who worked more, were likely to be more educated and used contraception including OCP to prevent unwanted pregnancy for their successful career. The results also support early research showing that women with higher education and high income are more aware of sexual and reproductive health, and have better access to birth control pills. [10] Further, mothers' education adjusted as a confounder in the final analysis, had an influential impact on the use of daughters' OCPs. Thus, it indicates that educated-mothers may have a larger effect on their daughters' use of OCPs because it is closely tied to their daughters' academic success, and to the likelihood that mothers' educational values promotes their daughters' knowledge and skills of future career awareness. [22],[23] Studies have also found that mothers with good educational background are likely to have low fertility rate, which increases their autonomy and ability to make decisions. [24]
Findings suggesting that fathers' 1-30 days of leave indicate a statistically significant result with increased OR, but fathers may not be recommended taking only 1-30 days of PL so that their daughters would use OCPs. Fathers with 1-30 days of leave may correspond to more than the one or two weeks of so called "daddy days" may have more concern about their daughters' development and sexual behavior that links to use of contraceptives including OCPs. As evidence indicates that couples where fathers took more than one or two weeks are more likely to have higher fertility. [25] On the other hand, fathers who took more than 30 days of leave had no association with daughters' use of OCPs. But as it has already been established, that early paternal involvement influences the children choice of contraceptives, and may also have a positive impact in the development of a child's health, psychosocial, and adolescent behavior [14],[26],[27],[28] , which may in turn be influenced in their decision making in later life, including choosing OCP. The reason for this result may be that fathers, who took more than 30 days of leave, did not play such influential role on their daughters' early lives behavior so that daughters may take initiatives of using OCPs in later life (adolescence and adulthood). Other underlying factors may affect on daughters' use of OCPs, for example the awareness of side effects of OCPs. [9],[29] In addition, the behavior and examples set by conservative or liberal fathers in the two extremes could shape, to a certain extent, the future willingness of their daughters to use. However, the results of PL and daughters' OCP use in this study are somehow contradictory. Further studies are recommended in order to clarify whether paternity leave, used as an indicator of parental gender equality, may influence daughters' use of OCP in adolescent and young adult life.
The main strength of this study is that it is based on a large sample size that encompasses all parents whose first child was born between 1988 and 1989, which means that it had sufficient power to observe the association between parental gender equality and daughters' OCP use. As a large population register-based study, the accuracy of data was reliable, and a wide variety of socio-economic and socio-demographic factors could be analyzed including age, education, and country of birth. The exposures and confounders were drawn from the same data set. Although the data was collected from different sources, it was constructed using a unique serial number for each participant.
The accuracy of outcome variable was reliable as the information of the OCP use was extracted from the Swedish Drug Register. Around 57,520 family units contributed to the final analysis leading narrow confidence intervals. As a result, it was easy to detect effects.
The potential limitation is that without evaluating the impact of other aspects of gender equality that may affect on daughters' decision making to use OCPs; it is not sufficient to only look at the distribution of PL. It needs to be grasped other factors of gender equality concepts, such as income, occupation, domestic duties, temporary childcare, and household working. Besides, the level of fathers' parental leave use in Sweden might not be considered as a true reflection of gender equality. Prior research implies that only 13% of couples shared parental leave equally [17] , whereas parents' equality was defined when each parent took 40-60% of the total parental leave. [30] Our study also found that almost 47% of fathers took 0 days of paternity leave, whereas only 13% of fathers received more than 90 days of leave. Although Swedish fathers' take up parental leave is highly appreciated and increasing steadily, men's take up parental leave still not so high as well as they are not actively entered household activities to the higher extent. [20],[31]
As a matter of fact, association between parental gender equality and daughters' condom use might potentially be more relevant, as a woman exposed to values of gender equality may be more able to require from her male partner to use condoms rather than taking all the responsibility herself using OCP. Additionally, daughters who have been categorized into "no use" of OCP, they may have a preference for other contraceptive methods. In fact, daughters who had prescription of OCPs from doctors or mid-wife, but they might even not pick the pills out from pharmacy. And even if they did so, they might not use them. These misclassifications of using OCPs may lead to either an over-estimate or under-estimate of the study results.
To conclude, this study suggests that maternal working time is indeed positively related to daughters' OCPs use, but we are careful in not claiming that our findings necessarily reflect the causal impact of gender-equal behavior on daughter's OCP use. On the other hand, PL as a whole may not significantly affect daughters' OCPs use, but fathers' some days of PL may play an important role on OCPs use among their daughters. In addition, gender equality in couple is a matter of equity involving all spheres of life wherein parental leave between parents might not be reflected as a true marker of parental gender equality. We, therefore, argue here that other measurements of gender equality may be combined to measure on how parental gender equality impact on daughters' use of OCPs.

Note: the graph below is my own work, based on the data in the WHO Ebola situation reports. It shows cumulative reported cases of Ebola in each West African country, and in total, since the outbreak began in March 2014.
I've been looking tonight at the latest WHO report on Ebola in West Africa (October 10, 2014), and I took the time to update my spreadsheet where I've been tracking the cumulative number of cases each week. The data is just scary.
It took 4 1/2 months (from beginning of March to mid-July) to reach 1000 total cases.

Az Államigazgatási Főiskola 1978 és 1999 utolsó napja között önállóan működő felsőfokú intézmény volt. 2000. január 1-jétől a Budapesti Közgazdaságtudományi és Államigazgatási Egyetembe integrálódott, 2016-tól pedig már a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem Államtudományi és Közigazgatási Karaként működik.

Története
A közigazgatási szakemberek képzése a 18. századig nyúlik vissza, azóta valamennyi hatalom arra törekedett, hogy a hivatásos köztisztviselői kar utánpótlásának képzése egységes legyen. A főiskola létrehozásának közvetlen előzménye a második világháborút követően, 1953-ban megalakult úgynevezett Tanácsakadémia, mely egy vagy kétéves oktatás keretében biztosította a káderek utánképzését. Ennek során politikai és szakmai - ezen belül gazdasági - ismereteket sajátíthattak el a hallgatók. A Tanácsakadémián elsajátított ismereteket az egyetemek (pl.: a jogészképzésben) elfogadták a jogi egyetem első évének elvégzésével egyenértékűnek.

1977-ban az Elnöki Tanácsa a Tanácsakadémia továbbfejlesztéséről döntött, és 1978. szeptember 1-jén létrehozták az Államigazgatási Főiskolát. A főiskola első évében 540 hallgató tanult két vidéki intézetben (Veszprém, Szombathely) és a nyolc budapesti tanszéken:
marxizmus—leninizmus
államjogi
államigazgatási
jogi
pénzügyi és gazdasági
szervezési és vezetési
idegennyelvi (orosz, angol vagy német) lektorátus
testnevelési

A főiskola központi épülete Budapesten, a XI. Ménesi út 5. szám alatt volt.

A felsőoktatási integráció következtében az Államigazgatási Főiskola önállósága 1999. december 31-én megszűnt, 2000. január 2-jével beolvadt a Budapesti Közgazdaságtudományi és Államigazgatási Egyetembe, de kezdetben megtartotta főiskolai kar jellegét, 2005-től azonban az akkor már Budapesti Corvinus Egyetemnek hívott intézmény Közigazgatástudományi Kara volt. 2012 január 1-jével létrejött a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem, melyhez csatlakozott a Corvinus Közigazgatástudományi Kara is. 2016 február 1-től a kar neve Államtudományi és Közigazgatási Karra változott.

Vezetői
A főiskolát nem rektor, hanem főigazgató vezette.

1989-1990 Lőrincz Lajos

Beginners, aspiring professionals, parents, children, and hobbyists all learn from the teaching we provide at Sage Music.
We love to help the youngest guitar students get started with music, and ensure that they are doing things right from the very beginning.
Sage Music's guitar teachers are trained and supervised in our patent-pending ARPEGGIO™ lesson system to ensure that they are providing lessons that are appropriate for you or your child's age, experience, and level of development.
We offer the most immersive, beneficial, and impactful guitar lessons in New York City. Sage Music was founded on Jason Sagebiel's profound connection to the guitar as a method of healing and learning, and the school's methods for teaching were built through this experience. All Sage Music teachers complete our proprietary teacher training to ensure that you get consistent, quality guitar lessons.
What are guitar lessons at Sage Music like?
Our guitar lessons extend beyond the guitar. While our guitar teachers will show you how to play the guitar, they will also show you the best methods for learning and practicing the guitar so that you will get the best possible results from your lessons and your practice at home. This will result in the swiftest progress possible. Many of our students apply the things they learn here to other parts of their life. We are not satisfied unless we are offering you the best lessons possible.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet and play music with our other guitar students when you join the community at our nyc guitar school. We have recitals, music parties, and two concert series that offer you the chance to interact with others. We offer private lessons, acoustic guitar lessons, electric guitar lessons, jazz guitar lessons and classical guitar lessons. We also have a few free lessons available on our YouTube channel if you'd like to see us in action.
Who are guitar lessons for?
We are happy to offer guitar lessons for everyone, of all backgrounds and abilities. We offer guitar lessons for beginners, and for experienced guitarists who want to refine their craft. We have students who are as young as 6, though we don't recommend any younger than that, and several students who are in retirement looking for a new creative outlet. Whether you are seeking a new pastime, or are looking for the serious training you would get at a guitar academy, we would love to welcome you into our school.
While it is best to bring your own guitar to the lesson, we have several guitars available in our studio for students to use if they are unable to bring one. We have quality instruments, and do not have any cheap instruments, because it is important that students study on a guitar that is easy to play and that produces a good sound. We also rent quality guitars for a low price to students who cannot afford a great instrument right away. We do this to enable their learning and progress, and make sure that no student will struggle with their instrument.
Not all types of guitar are the same, nor are the many styles of music you can play on that guitar. That's why we offer specialized lesson on the acoustic guitar. Whether you are looking to strum some chords while you sing, play fingerstyle guitar, or learn how to play in a band, we'll design a program for your specific needs. There are also many different types of acoustic guitars, we'd be happy to help you find the right one for you, and the music that you want to play so that you will make the fastest progress possible in your acoustic guitar lessons.
We take pride in our Classical Guitar program. The school's founder is a nationally recognized teacher of classical guitar, and the director of the NYC Guitar Orchestra. Under his leadership, we are able to provide you with the highest level of classical guitar training, plus additional opportunities and access to the classical guitar scene in NYC. Not only will you learn solid technique, but you will learn artistry and interpretation, and everything you need to know about the business of making music on the guitar.
The electric guitar offers a whole range of opportunities and sounds that are not possible on the acoustic or classical guitar, which we find very exciting! In your lessons at Sage Music, you will learn not only the proper technique for playing the electric guitar, but also the ensemble skills you need to play with others, how to improvise and solo, and how to set up your amps and effects to get the best possible sound and tone. We take a holistic approach to your learning of the guitar.
No matter what your goals and aspirations are for the guitar, we would be delighted to help you achieve them.

Cancellara promises hard racing at Tour de Suisse as comeback continues
Fabian Cancellara continues to get himself up to race pace at the Tour de Suisse, but the Trek rider insists he won't be taking it easy
Fabian Cancellara on Stage three of the 2015 Tour de Suisse (Watson)
By Stuart Clarke published 16 June 15
Fabian Cancellara says he'll be riding hard at the Tour de Suisse this week in an attempt to get his season back on track after broken vertebrae suffered at E3 Harelbeke.
The Trek Factory Racing rider returned to action at the Tour des Fjords at the end of May, with eyes on potentially starting the Tour de France - at which he would be a favourite to win the opening prologue in Utrecht.
An illness picked up just before his home race in Switzerland set Cancellara back slightly, but it won't stop him pushing himself as the race progresses until its conclusion on Sunday.
"It's not the season I'd hoped for because, after missing the Classics, there's a big hole," Cancellara said in an interview with Swiss television channel RSI.
"I'm riding the Tour de Suisse with conviction but I got ill before the race and that cut into my training and was a mental blow too."
He added: "At first I was just happy to ride my bike again but after you've trained, trained and trained, you need to race," he added. "That's why I decided to race in Norway.
"Racing gave me those good feeling and quality work that you don't get in training or even when motor pacing.
"Things like the first hour of a race, when the break is trying to go away and you're trying to control the attacks, you can't recreate those efforts in training."
Cancellara finished second on the opening prologue of the Tour de Suisse, two seconds behind winner and current leader Tom Dumoulin - a man who could challenge the Swiss for the first yellow jersey of the Tour de France.
