Can Probiotics Help Calm IBS?
Recent studies offer evidence that probiotics help calm IBS, also known as irritable bowel syndrome. Rebalancing the microbiota of the gut may do the trick.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has long mystified doctors. Gastroenterologists classified it for years as a "functional" gastrointestinal problem, by which they meant they could not find anything wrong with the digestive tract. Nonetheless, people with IBS suffer real pain, bloating, cramps and diarrhea or constipation. Recent research has shown that bacterial toxins may play an important role in the development of these symptoms. Some people have reported that eliminating certain foods from their diets can reduce symptoms. Others have found that probiotics help calm IBS.
Do Probiotics Help Calm IBS?
Q. For over 15 years, I suffered from IBS that caused gas attacks, flatulence and diarrhea. My doctor told me that there was nothing that I could do to stop these symptoms.
On my own, I decided to see if avoiding all dairy products would help. That did make a difference.
Then I had to take an antibiotic that gave me constant diarrhea. I decided to try taking a probiotic that offered over 30 billion live intestinal bacteria daily. Within two weeks, my diarrhea stopped. Now, four months later, I can eat anything, including dairy products, without diarrhea, gas or bloating.
Evidence That Probiotics Help Calm IBS:
A. Since irritable bowel symptoms appear to be linked to changes in gut microbiota, researchers have been considering how they could improve the balance of microbes (Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Obesity, online Nov. 27, 2019). In light of this, scientists analyzed nine placebo-controlled studies of probiotics for symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (World Journal of Gastroenterology, March 14, 2015).
They concluded:
"Probiotics reduce pain and symptom severity scores. The results demonstrate the beneficial effects of probiotics in IBS patients in comparison with placebo."
While that study did not specify which probiotic species might be most useful, another study did. Indian investigators found that Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856 at a dose of 2 billion CFU twice a day for eight weeks reduced pain and improved stool consistency (International Journal of Colorectal Disease, Dec. 5, 2019). In summary, this randomized controlled trial offers very promising evidence that probiotics help calm IBS.

Daniel Burke, the former CEO of Capital Cities/ABC and the man who brought the Sea Dogs to Portland, died Wednesday from complications of Type 1 diabetes, his family said. He was 82.
Burke owned the popular minor league baseball team from its inception in 1994 and helped the club become an affiliate of the Boston Red Sox in 2002.
Last year, he passed on the team chairmanship to his son Bill Burke, a Cape Elizabeth resident. Burke's daughter, Sally McNamara, became the organization's treasurer.
Burke spent most of his business career helping Capital Cities, a small company in Albany, N.Y., grow from a handful of TV stations to become a broadcasting and publishing giant. In 1986, Capital Cities Chairman Tom Murphy and Burke, its president and chief executive, engineered the then-stunning purchase of the ABC network for $3.5 billion.
Burke retired as president and chief executive of Capital Cities/ABC in February 1994, a month before his Sea Dogs began their first spring training in Florida.
Burke, a resident of Rye, N.Y., spent summers at Kennebunk Beach for more than 50 years. When he bought the Eastern League team for Portland, he did not run the organization. He gave that task to Charlie Eshbach, once the league's commissioner, who took over as Sea Dogs president and general manager.
The Sea Dogs franchise had success before a pitch was thrown. Its catchy logo, with a menacing seal holding a bat in its mouth, became a hit. Sea Dogs merchandise was one of the leading sellers among minor league teams, even before the team began playing games.
On opening day, April 18, 1994, Burke's entertainment ties were evident. Kathie Lee Gifford, then co-host of the "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee" television show, and her husband, sportscaster Frank Gifford, took part in a pre-game parade. Kathie Lee Gifford sang the national anthem, and ABC sportscaster Chris Schenkel emceed the pre-game festivities.
A sellout crowd of 6,274 fans at a reconstructed Hadlock Field watched the Sea Dogs lose 7-6. But those fans returned, and the Sea Dogs led the Eastern League in attendance.
Later in the season, a "Barbara Day" promotion featured appearances by Barbara Walters and former first lady Barbara Bush.
George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, summer residents of Kennebunkport, were friends of the Burke family, and were annual visitors to Hadlock Field.
The late ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings also watched games at Hadlock, and even took part in a Sea Dogs batting practice in a Portland uniform.
In 1995, Burke received national attention when ABC sportscaster Al Michaels suggested before the World Series that Burke should be named commissioner of Major League Baseball.
In fact, Burke's name had surfaced as a candidate for commissioner during his days as CEO of Capital Cities/ABC. But once he retired, Burke said, he could not imagine taking the commissioner's job.
As owner of the Sea Dogs, Burke watched his franchise become wildly successful. And as crowds grew, he kept expanding Hadlock. Low ticket prices, clever promotions and Slugger the Sea Dog mascot continued to draw fans.
One tradition at the games was the Burkes – Dan and his wife, Bunny – leaving their seats next to the Sea Dogs dugout during the game and walking up to the owners' skybox. On the way, they shook hands and greeted well-wishers.
The Burkes supported the players, including holding an annual lobster bake at the Burkes' home in Kennebunkport. George and Barbara Bush often attended.
Once, a story leaked out that the fiance of a player, John Roskos, had lost her engagement ring. Quietly, the couple received a new ring – a gift from the Burkes.
On the field, the Sea Dogs, an affiliate of the expansion Florida Marlins, reached the playoffs occasionally but never won the league championship.
When Marlins owner John Henry sold that team so he could buy the Boston Red Sox in 2002, the Sea Dogs franchise soon made a dramatic change.
On May 23, 2002, Burke welcomed Henry and Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner to Hadlock Field for a game on a sunny afternoon. At the time, the Red Sox's Class AA team was in Trenton, N.J.
The lure of putting Boston's minor league team in New England, and Henry's familiarity with Burke and the Sea Dogs, had an inevitable conclusion: On Sept. 18, 2002, the Sea Dogs ended their nine-year union with the Marlins and announced a new affiliation with the Red Sox.
Attendance continued to climb, as Sea Dogs and Red Sox fans filed into Hadlock. The New England Sports Network televised at least one game each season.
Portland's relationship with the Red Sox appeared threatened when an Eastern League team moved to Manchester, N.H., in 2003. The New Hampshire Fisher Cats were owned by Drew Weber, who also owns the Lowell Spinners, a lower-level minor league affiliate of the Red Sox. Hope was expressed in the New Hampshire media that Weber might attract the Red Sox's Eastern League team from Portland to Manchester.
In response to the Sea Dogs' concerns, the Red Sox, in 2004, extended their agreement with Portland for four more years. They have continued to extend the contract, with the current agreement running through 2014.
"There is no place else we would rather be, or we could imagine being," said Theo Epstein, Boston's general manager at the time.
Cherington, who was named to replace Epstein as general manager Tuesday, was the team's director of player personnel in 2004, working closely with the minor league teams. He said Burke was the ideal owner because he understood the needs of both Portland and Boston.
"It's about player development, and he gets it," Cherington said.
When Weber sold the New Hampshire team to Arthur Solomon in 2005, the new owner made public statements about trying to woo the Red Sox as an affiliate. Cherington quickly squashed that idea.
The Sea Dogs won their first Eastern League championship in 2006, but the year was a difficult one for Burke. He injured both of his shoulders and broke a hip in a series of falls before the season. For the first time, he missed the season opener in Portland.
When Burke did make it to Hadlock, he rarely sat by the dugout, instead staying in the skybox. He initially needed a walker, but eventually switched to a cane.
In recent years, Burke became less visible. He was confined to a wheelchair. The owners' seats were usually occupied by Bunny and her children and grandchildren – until Bunny made the walk up to the box during the game.
But Burke still enjoyed watching the games, still enjoyed the baseball.
Back in 1996, he talked about his baseball team, and how it instantly became an attraction in Portland.

Face-to-face: The Story of the Baltic Exchange
The monumental kinetic installation by Maarja Kask and Ralf Lõoke of Salto Architects and artist Neeme Külm tells the story of a building that has lost its place.
The history of the Baltic Exchange goes back more than 250 years. The neoclassical building designed by Smith and Wimble was completed in central London in 1903, and has been ranked among the most beautiful examples of Edwardian architecture. Just over a century after its completion, the Estonian media dub the building an "alien structure" looking for a home in Tallinn.
In 1992, the Exchange building was heavily damaged in an Irish Republican Army bomb attack. After the attack, the building was dismantled stone by stone; the valuable parts were numbered and put in storage with the intention of restoring the building to its historical form. Instead, however, it was replaced by a new one – the 41-storey office building known as the "Gherkin" (by Foster and Partners), by now a London landmark.
The historic building was deprived of its site, and thus, also its context – an important part of its spatial identity. It began an itinerant existence, travelling from place to place, covering long distances and seeking a new meaning and environment. The building almost found a new home on Long Island, New York or the Battersea development in London. It was an unlikely intervention by Estonian businessmen that saved the dismantled structure from its final demise of being sold as fireplace decor. The sizeable delivery – 40 numbered shipping containers with stairs, marble columns, telephone boxes with wooden panelling, stucco sea monsters and other details – arrived in Estonia in 2007. A question posed itself right away – what environment would the newcomer blend into best and how to integrate it within a new social setting?
Efforts have been made to give new life to the Baltic Exchange building in Estonia and combine its facade with several new real estate developments. Various expectations and conflicts have surfaced, causing the facade fragments to lie waiting for almost a decade in shipping containers in the port of Paldiski.
In the exhibition the fragments of the Baltic Exchange building, which has stirred a good deal of controversy in the Estonian public, make their first life-size appearance. The visitors will be able to stand face-to-face with the historic building's pediment, which has been arbitrarily displaced by terrorists, businessmen and now architects and artists. At the exhibition, this fragment of the building is at the disposal of anyone who wishes to subject it to their will.
Having addressed the issues of site-specificity already before, authors were intrigued by the story of the building with its unusual fate and detached fragments. Few buildings have undergone so many changes in context. In addition to physical relocation, countless design projects, visions and proposals have been produced regarding where and how to place the building. But what about a building that loses its original site? How should connections with a new environment be created? Who is to pass judgement on the value of a piece of architecture? What value is there in salvaging a building? How do we develop emotional ties with architectural symbols and what role do such ties play as a means of exerting influence in society and politics?
The authors of the installation were fascinated by more and more topics as they unravelled the story one layer after another. Sometimes an individual detail may be more evocative than the building as a whole. A single fragment may turn out to be an unexpectedly powerful symbol, able to sway both social and political decision processes.
The exhibition at the Museum of Estonian Architecture challenges the boundaries of the architecture exhibition as such, expanding the means of presenting architecture and ways of interpreting it. On the one hand, the exhibition offers a new kind of personal emotion of experiencing space; on the other hand, it poses a series of critical questions about the museum environment and the customary format of the architecture exhibition. For the museum, this is primarily an opportunity to create new value that speaks to the contemporary visitor with an interest in architecture.

Established in 2004, Salto Architects (Maarja Kask, Ralf Lõoke) takes a particular interest in the meeting points between architecture, landscape design and art. Salto constantly aims to redefine the relationship between space, environment and their user. Contextual approach to architecture implies awareness of social, cultural as well as natural contexts, all of which have direct influence on Salto's working methods. For Salto each location, its inhabitants, nature, customs, economy as well as politics form a starting point, and have a direct, if complex influence on emerging space. Buildings with a public function, where a critical and interdisciplinary approach plays an important role, make up a significant part of the architectural work of Salto – the Viljandi State High School, the Baltic Film and Media School, the Estonian Road Museum, the Pärnu Environmental Education Centre, the Sõmeru Community Centre, the Sports Hall at the Estonian University of Life Sciences and others. During its 12-year activity Salto has gained international attention and received awards for their installations, for example the Estonian exposition "Gas Pipe" (with Ingrid Ruudi and Neeme Külm, 2008) at the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale; the Straw Theatre (2011), a temporary, site-specific building for the NO99 theatre built on the occasion of Tallinn being the European Capital of Culture; and the project "Fast Track" (2012) for the "Archstoyanie" festival in Russia.
Artist Neeme Külm is one of the founders and board members of the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia where his role has focused on planning and production of exhibitions. His own works typically consist of large and time-consuming but visually minimalist installations. He has created monumental installations for group shows in Estonia and abroad, including the "Gas Pipe" (with Maarja Kask, Ralf Lõoke and Ingrid Ruudi, 2008) ) at the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale. His solo exhibitions include "if" (Hobusepea Gallery, Tallinn, 2004), "Fountain" (Draakon Gallery, Tallinn, 2006), "ideal.total" with Dénes Farkas (Tallinn City Gallery, 2007), "Tomorrow comes today" (Draakon Gallery, 2010), "3 Seas" with Dénes Farkas (Labor Gallery, Budapest, 2011) and "Shimmer on the Surface" (Hobusepea Gallery, 2012). Külm has participated in several group exhibitions and has also been a designer of several exhibitions.

Ghani-in-Chief – What the Roadmap for the Next Five Years Should Look
03	Mar, 2020 by Wadsam
President Ghani's first term in the office can at best be described turmoiled domestically and internationally: the constant bickering with Pakistan over the latter's covertsupport of the Taliban; the outcast of his current NSA bythe U.S.; the struggle with the extraconstitutional Chief Executive's Office; the dilemma of peace accord with the Taliban at the expense of elections and now a second term; the formation of an all accepting and open arm alliance against Ghani's ticket by his former NSA and a host of other mishaps at all levels are some of the examples. However, the unique leadership style of President Ghani in dealing with what can be touted as the toughest situation in post 9/11 Afghanistan and with the pernickety and fastidious politicians and ethnic leaders has won him accolades where critics exhausted resources.
The results of the 2019 elections, another challengingordeal for the Afghans as well as the international community, has produced its results. Despite the overwhelming number of complaints registered primarily to bring President Ghani's vote percentage to below 50 percent, the likelihood of elections going to a run-off or President Ghani not securing enough votes for a second term was negligible.
Therefore, the question is how will an independent government without a Dr. Abdullah Abdullah breathing down President Ghani's throat look like? Also, what are the key issues that he needs to address to instill confidence in a better Afghanistan?
Security: The number one issue that has affected the everyday life of the average citizens a great deal is security. Hence, it was included in the millennium development goals for Afghanistan. More than employment, food and shelter, Afghans want security.
Taliban: The day the Afghan government and the international community agreed to ink a peace deal with the Taliban was the day the Taliban got their lost recognition. Every international meeting with the Taliban adds a feather in their hat and rejuvenates financial, logistical and human support. The Taliban see the meetings a form of kneeling to their brutal and indiscriminate killings and massacre of the innocent Afghans and asking for their mercy. Hence, they call the shots however they please and cannot come to an agreement.
If President Ghani wants to show Afghans and the rest of the world that he is an elected and lawful leader, he has to dig his heels to the ground and ask the Taliban to return as citizens and fight for their rights and privileges as did Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
The Taliban have to: renounce all forms of violence and active combat; withdraw from their unspoken yet unwavering allegiance to the Pakistani government as well as any international terrorist organizations, such as Al-Qaida; surrender weapons; accept the constitution as the governing law of the country; and agree to lobby for any change in the Afghan government or society through democratic means possible.
It will be a blunder to woo the Taliban into a peace process through undeserving carrots, such as leaving a few provinces under their hegemony, offering cabinet seats and/or any other perks. It has not worked in the past and it will never work again.
If the Taliban do not agree to such fair terms, the Afghanistan government should see that the Taliban do not find a safe heaven in Afghanistan, Pakistan or anywhere else anymore. President Ghani has to pump out financial, logistical and human support of the Taliban by force and through diplomatic means. Such a drastic measure may mean even more violence, but be it. Afghans are dying every day and would rather die trying to do what is best for the country than in fear and not combatting the enemy properly.
Bullies: There cannot be any space in the New Ghani Afghanistan for bullies. The average citizen cannot take anymore of the bullies and live in fear. President Ghani should drain the swamp and rid Afghans of bullies who fearlessly trample the law for their personal gains. Democracy is all about expressing one's opinion and not getting persecuted for it. However, challenging a government to a violent showdown is not freedom of expression, it is purely an act of outlaw and should be punished duly.
ID Cards: It is literally impossible to maintain the rule of law or law and order in a country where its population is "estimated" at best; most of its citizens have one names that are pretty common; addresses are based on the nearest mosques, bathhouses, famous people's homes and so on and so forth. A centralized issued modern identification card can establish the basis for better security, economic and social initiatives.
Education: Afghanistan has partially failed in providing (quality) education to its citizens. Afghans direly need religious and contemporary education for two reasons: One, to understand Islam enough in order not to fall prey to the extremists' groups; two, to make a living using that education. If the aforementioned two objectives are taken into consideration, the Afghanistan government has failed in terms of quality. Therefore, President Ghani needs an overhaul of the current education system. Arabic, Qur'anic interpretation, Tajweed, hadith, Siret-ul-Nabiand a host of other important religious subjects need to be taught more comprehensively at school levels so that Afghan children are equipped with proper religious education upon graduation and not fall prey to extremism.
According to the Constitution, education to grade 16 (undergraduate degree) is a right. However, Kankor or the Afghan version of entrance exam or placement test has turned the right into a privilege. Yearly, thousands of hopefuls are rejected university seats due to such an unfair process. Afghanistan can no longer afford to refuse its citizens the basic rights it has vowed to provide for. Therefore, the solution to the problem is building more schools, employing more teachers and a proper distance learning system, not an ousting through an old system.
Economy: Afghanistan has been a laboratory of economic regimes right from outright socialism to extreme capitalism. Both regimes have had its share of success and failures, pros and cons and supporters. However, a middle ground needs to be worked so that an average citizen can find food on their dining tables.
Ownership: Putting patriotic and sentimental values aside, why should Afghans back the government and not fleeabroad? What is in it for an average Afghan? S/he does not know own a home because it is too expensive, cannot get quality education or a job and so on and so forth. In order to give ownership to the citizens who are the ultimate owners of the land and the government, the latterwill need to offer land to the average citizens that they can call home. Having a piece of land as home will be the first step to ownership.
Plants: Considering the overall education level, demands of the people and the low-cost labor, establishing large plants in Afghanistan will surely employ a good chunk of the unemployed population. If large corporations such as Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Walmart, Amazon etc. can establish a footprint in Afghanistan, the unemployment ratio will decline and such establishments can be the gateway to great economic strides. However, such corporate stalwarts need security and stability, which the government has to provide.

The nation's favourite chocolate bar is having a makeover in response to the obesity crisis.
A reduced sugar version of the Cadbury Dairy Milk bar will go on sale next year.
It will have 30% less sugar than the current bar and Cadbury owner Mondelez International (Frankfurt: A1J4U0 - news) has described it as the "most significant innovation in the brand's history".
The full sugar version of the bar will also still be available.
The company is also planning reduced sugar versions of some of its other confectionery brands such as Oreo and Maynards Bassetts Wine Gums and Jelly Babies products.
A survey by Vouchercodes.com earlier this year suggested that on average each person in the UK ate 22 Dairy Milk bars a year.
In the new bar the sugar content will be 39g per 100g, down from 56g per 100g in the traditional one, however the calorie content will be similar.
Glenn Caton, Mondelez International president for Northern Europe, said the science behind the reformulation was a "trade secret" but the taste of the new bar as "incredibly similar" to the original.
He said: "It tastes very, very close to the original but a little less sweet. It's been tested extensively on consumers and they love it."
He added: "Taking sugar out of our products isn't easy and will take time.
"Ultimately they are treats and people expect them to taste great, but we're working hard to find innovative solutions that provide more choice without compromising on their world-renowned taste and quality."
The decision to reduce the sugar in Dairy Milk is part of a trend as food producers come under pressure to come up with healthier recipes.
Earlier this week Kellogg (Hamburg: 944624.HM - news) 's announced it had cut the amount of sugar in COCO Pops by 40%.
In May research by the UK Heart Forum and Institute of Technology, Sligo predicted that the number of morbidly obese people in England, Scotland and Wales is set to double over the next 20 years.
The study found that if current trends continue, nearly five million Brits will have a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 40, up from 1.9 million in 2015.
Last month the government revealed a series of new proposals to tackle childhood obesity including tougher restrictions on supermarkets displaying unhealthy foods at checkouts, banning sales of energy drinks to children and a 9pm watershed for advertising unhealthy food on television.

CNN Series to Air Episode About Mobile
W. Kamau Bell, comedian, author and radio show host, talks to MB about his Mobile roots and his latest visit to the city, during which he filmed an episode for the third season of his CNN series "United Shades of America."
Before you catch the episode, set to air on June 17, read about Bell's connection to Mobile and why he thinks it's important to bring his viewers to this funny little place by the Bay.
In this third season of "United Shades of America, " what do you hope to accomplish?
This season, especially, I thought was an opportunity to go to areas of the country that people were either completely unfamiliar with or think they're familiar with but have a lot of misinformation about. And then my job is to sort of hand the microphone over to people and let them tell their own stories. With the Mobile episode, it was right after the election of President Trump and a lot of people were condescending to the South … so I wanted to do an episode about the South, but specifically my connection to the South, which is Mobile. And also, Mobile is a city that has a little bit of a chip on its shoulder because it feels like it doesn't get the recognition it deserves with things like Mardi Gras and all of its history. Not to mention it's the third largest city in Alabama. So there's all this stuff! And people don't realize it! So for me, it just felt natural to go there. Having lived in Mobile before, I had a connection to it, and I was able to do things like return a library book that was like 30 years old.
What memories do you have about going to the Ben May Library downtown?
I used to live close enough that I could ride my bike there. We used to live on Warren Street, which isn't too far from there, and my grandmother's house was on Congress. That was one of my first experiences of being old enough to go somewhere on my own. I'd leave my bike outside the library, go inside and sit amongst the stacks for hours. They've really expanded [the library] since I was a kid, but walking back through the old part, I was like, "Oh yeah, this is the part I remember."
At that point, as I said in my book, I was really into comic books. So I would get any book I could that was about drawing comic books. I also read a lot of comedy books — "Peanuts" stuff and "Beetle Bailey." I spent a lot of time in that library thinking about drawing and also about being funny.
What was it like to see your own book sitting on the shelf at that library?
(laughs) I don't know if they did that because they knew I was coming that day. They claimed it was already right there.
But it feels good to be claimed [by Mobile]. A lot of people don't realize I spent time there. I just went back to Mobile about a week ago, and I walked out of the Mobile Airport, which I've been going to my whole life, and somebody who recognized me asked, "What are you doing here?"
So going to the library [and seeing my book], it felt good that I was being claimed as somebody who was worth knowing.
What exactly is your history with Mobile?
My parents split up when I was pretty young, but I would go to Mobile every summer. My mom would put me on a plane by myself; they would hand me to the gate agent, who'd take me to the flight attendant, who'd sit me on a plane and give me the wings and orange juice. Then they would come get me and walk me through the airport to get me on the next flight from Atlanta to Mobile. So I did that every summer since I was 4, and I'd stay at my grandmother's house on Congress Street. I spent about 3 months of every year in Mobile as a kid, and sometimes I'd go back for Thanksgiving or something. So it was a lot of time.
My memories of summertime as a kid are about Mobile and being at my grandmother's house — watching game shows on TV, running around in her front yard, picking figs off her tree and eating pecans. Or her dog named Freeway who would chase cars, then every now and then he'd escape the yard and be gone for about two weeks.
Then on Sundays, we'd go around the corner to Big Zion Church, which is in the episode, and we'd spend what felt like 14 hours there on Sunday. It probably wasn't that long, but it felt like it. And every Sunday an old black woman would pass out and catch the Holy Ghost during the sermon, and they would take her to the back room and fan her off until she stopped talking in tongues. (laughs) You know, it was just very steeped — grandmother making gumbo, cooking all day. She was a seamstress, so she made a lot of my clothes back in the day. It was a very different lifestyle when I was visiting Mobile in the summers from the life I was living with my mom at that point in Boston or Indianapolis. It was a very North vs. South lifestyle.
The most emotional moment for you during the Mobile episode is when you revisit your grandmother's house. What were you feeling in that moment?
I hadn't been back there in a long time, because she died in the mid-'90s. So it had been more than 20 years. As soon as we pulled up with the crew, and I saw the state the house was in, I just started to get overwhelmed.
Sometimes in those situations, you try to stop crying because you're about to make TV, but I've learned that, with the show I make, it's about wearing my heart on my sleeve, whether I'm laughing or crying. So I just asked Patrick, the cameraman who's been with the show since the first season, to turn the camera on. I just thought, whether we use this or not, this is a real moment that's happening.
This episode is about my personal connection to Mobile, and it's through that house that's the most intense version of it … and I thought, if I'm having this moment, I'm sure there are people watching TV who can relate to moments like this. This whole show is about wearing my heart, and my ignorance and my joy on my sleeve.
You talked to somebody during the episode who told you to go try the shrimp and grits at Mama's on Dauphin. Did you ever get to go?
No, we didn't. But that's the great thing about this. Normally when I shoot an episode, people say, " Go to this place in town, " and we don't have time to do it. And I'm like, I will never be in Barrow, Alaska, again, so I'm not gonna be able to go to that place. But I'll be back in Mobile.
What did the members of your crew who had never been to Mobile think about the city?
Well, the funny thing is, one of the members of the crew is from Huntsville. He had not spent a lot of time in Mobile, but he really was like, "Oh yeah, this is totally reminiscent of home." So he and I had a lot of good moments together.
Do any of your friends outside the South actually believe that Alabama has these spectacular beaches?
No, and it's funny — that was one of the most important things I wanted to get in the show, because I've spent so much time at those beaches and still spend time there every now and again. At one point we were like, "We might not have time to shoot the beaches."
I said, "If we don't shoot the beaches, we might as well go home now."
It's just something nobody knows about! And I sort of feel like it's my little bit of helping the tourism of Orange Beach. My wife didn't believe it either when we met, because she's from California. Now she's been going there for years, and the kids have been out there now. It's a place where we can go have a pretty low-key vacation and a pretty cheap vacation compared to other vacation spots, and I really love it.
We want to bring our friends who have kids with us, but everyone is like, "No, we're alright." Just because the Alabama part makes them say, "I don't know." So I'm really hoping that now that I show it and they can see it, we'll actually get some of our friends to come hang out with me on the beaches of Alabama.
As we approach the airing of the Mobile episode, is there anything else you hope it accomplishes?
I think that, because of the nature of the show, people have some sort of image of me as this West Coast, Berkeley liberal — which might be true, but that's not all that I am. I'm complicated. Yes, I am that, but I'm also this! These different things can exist in one body. For example, when I was in Mobile last, all I wanted was some fried shrimp. That's all I wanted. I can't get that anywhere else! I just wanted some fried shrimp with some gumbo.
The thing I'm excited about with this episode is that I would like the people of Mobile to know, for better or for worse, that I have history there. So that when I come, they say, "Welcome home."
Don't miss W. Kamau Bell's visit to Mobile on June 17 at 9 p.m. CST on CNN. Also, check out his book "The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell, " available on Amazon — and, of course, the Mobile Public Library.

90 Day Fiancé's Kim Menzies Shines with New Look, Fans Sing Her Praises
Alaskan Bush People: Raiven Brown Reveals Plans for Future Family Expansion in Instagram Q&A
Darcey & Stacey: Darcey Silva Confronted by Matchmaker's Candid Critique
Peter Phillips described his sister Zara and mother Anne as headstrong and single-minded
PETER PHILLIPS made a shock comparison between his mother princess Anne and his sister Zara Tindall, reveals an emerged interview.
The Royal emphasized the similarities between the two riders in a video interview with Zara, uploaded to YouTube in 2010. He said: "They are both very independent. There are a number of other words that could make you fall out of that independence."
Peter, described as a successful marketing manager, was asked to give examples of other words he would use to describe these two family members.
Zara laughed and joked: "You must be nice now!"
Peter considered the question before summing up: "Stubborn, determined, focused, choose whichever you want."
Zara answered: "Hardworking!", To which Peter quickly said, "Yes, exactly, hardworking!"
Zara laughed again, and Peter said, "No, seriously! And all in the best possible ways.
"But Zara would not have got to where she came in her sporting role without having the obstinacy and independence of her mother."
This comparison will be surprising to some since Zara is often seen as a softer character than her fiercely independent and free-spirited mother.
That said, in many ways, Zara's career has mirrored her mother's image.
Princess Anne achieved relatively young success in equestrian sports and won the European Eventing Championships in 1971 at the age of 21.
She received the BBC Sports Personality of the Year that same year and was later selected to represent Great Britain at the 1976 Olympic Games.
In the meantime, Zara won the World Eventing Championships in 2006 at the age of 25 and was also awarded the 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
She participated in the 2012 London Olympics as part of the UK Eventing Team and won a silver medal.
Zara married Mike Tindall in 2011 but continued to use her maiden name Phillips until March 2016 when she first took part in the name Zara Tindall.
Zara and Mike have two daughters, Mia Grace, 4, and Lena Elizabeth, 1.
Reflecting on her mother's support during her career, Zara said: "Winning is one of the best feelings in the world.
"And having your family there and Mommy is part of it and you can see it doing makes it much more special."
Both brothers and sisters agreed that the free spirit of their mother meant that they could live their lives in the same way.
Peter said: 'I would go all the way back to her, whether she would give us titles or not – and she said, rightly so, no.
"And I think that goes back to her parents who give her the right to choose."
Anne and her former husband Mark Phillips decided not to give Peter and Zara royal titles and to take them away from the normal royal lifestyle.
Despite this, Anne herself has been a dedicated royal kingdom and was officially the hardest working royal last year.
68-year-old Princess Royal attended 447 engagements in the UK and 71 overseas in 2018, according to The Times.
Meanwhile, her elder brother Prince Charles, who is the heir, performed 298 engagements in the UK and 109 overseas in 2018.

Bitters & Love is a cocktail bar driven (as the name suggests) by love and passion in a compact industrial room.
Bitters & Love is a cocktail bar driven (as the name suggests) by love and passion. The narrow, relatively compact room (it seats around 60) and fairly industrial room has been warmed up considerably with retro lamps, little splashes of greenery and a handsome tiled floor.
The bar serves seasonal bespoke cocktails, their drinks list changing every three months. The experienced bar team offer a selection of six "all-time favourite" cocktails but that's the extent of the menu and everything else is prepared in consultation with the customer and crafted from premium spirits and fresh seasonal ingredients.
If you're peckish, sample some of their gourmet bar snacks, dishes like fresh oysters, pan-seared wagyu, and (our favourite) Flammekueche, an oven-baked tart topped with sauteed onions, creme fraiche, bacon bits and arugula, which is all kind of yum. The adjacent Shoebox Canteen, with which the bar serves floor space is also well worth sampling.

IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa women's basketball team has received an at-large berth into the NCAA Women's Basketball Championships. The Hawkeyes (22-8) are a No. 6 seed and will play No. 11 seed Gonzaga (28-4) in Spokane, Wash., at the McCarthey Athletic Center, Gonzaga's home facility. First round action will begin Saturday at 3 p.m. (CT). The game will be televised live on ESPN2.
This marks Iowa's 20th trip to the NCAA Tournament. Head Coach Lisa Bluder has led the Hawkeyes to eight NCAA Tournament appearances in her 11 years at Iowa, including each of the last four years.
The No. 6 seed is Iowa's highest NCAA Tournament seed since 2001, when the Hawkeyes entered the tournament as a No. 4 seed in Bluder's first year at Iowa.
Gonzaga is ranked 19th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll and 20th in the Associated Press poll. The Bulldogs won both the West Coast Conference regular season and conference tournament championship. Gonzaga has won 18-straight games, with its last loss coming at Notre Dame Dec. 29 (70-61). The Bulldogs are 13-1 this season on their home court, the only loss coming to second-ranked Stanford (84-78).
Gonzaga averages 86.1 points per game and holds a +25.2 scoring margin. The Bulldogs are led by senior All-American candidate Courtney Vandersloot, who is the three-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year. She currently leads the nation in assists per game for the second-straight season at 10.2 per game and is also first in assists-to-turnover ratio at 3.34. She is the team's leading scorer at 18.6 points per game, with three other players averaging double figures.
Saturday's first round matchup will be the first meeting between the two schools.
Iowa is a No. 6 seed for just the second time in program history. The Hawkeyes advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed in 1991, defeating Montana in the first round before losing to Washington in the second round in Seattle. Iowa's game versus Washington was in Seattle is the only other time the Hawkeyes have played an NCAA Tournament game in the state of Washington.
The Spokane, Wash., first/second round site is a part of the Spokane Regional. No. 3 seed UCLA will take on No. 14 seed Montana 30 minutes after Iowa's game vs. Gonzaga (approximately 5:30 p.m. CT). The two winners will meet in the second round Monday at a time to be determined.

It is the duty of every one who has given a pledge of loyalty to the Imaam that he should fulfill the terms of his pledge and always keep them in view. He should never act contrary to the orders of the Imaam. In carrying out his orders he should never exceed the limits nor fall short of them. He should not budge an inch from the right course. He should not put his own interpretation on what he hears from the Imaam. He should say nothing on his own account. He should stall his imagination to influence his mind in these matters when he is fully aware that Imaam is the Supreme Authority.
It follows that it is the bounded duty of every one who is the follower of the Imaam to do good things and keep away from the evil. He should be devoted to Allaah and he should discharge the duties that have been enjoined on him. He should commit no sins and should do nothing which leads to Allaah's wrath.
We must bear in mind that in doing the work of the Imaam, we have to follow some specific rules that are prescribed for us. We have to do things by degrees and we have to proceed with caution step by step. If we do not stop at the first step and jump to the higher step and try to reach the destination earlier than we are required to reach it we shall be ruined. It will be like feeding a new born baby to death with the food not meant for him.
In short, these are the things which have prevented the Imaam from making their inner knowledge accessible to none but those whom they have found fit and trusted. Had they allowed everyone to have a free access to it, people would have ruined one another like a new born baby who is killed by excess and untimely feeding or like an embryo who tries to come out before it is fully developed.
Hence, the Imaam have purposely kept this knowledge secret in order to test their followers. Had they given full publicity to it and informed everyone of what it is, none would have opposed them. But Allaah wants to test His devotees by asking them to have faith in the 'ghayb'. The Qur'an says, "This book is undoubtedly a guide to the Allaah-fearing people who have faith in the 'ghayb' i.e. the hidden thing." These are the people who according to the Qur'an have been guaranteed success. If Allaah had desired He could have forced all man to be devoted to Him. He could have easily asked some angel to shout from above and call people to devotion. It would not in that case have been necessary for Him to send one of His apostles to guide people.
Had he done so none would have been superior to one another and there would have been no room for execution. In that case there would have been no reward and no punishment. All the people would have been of one type and knowledge and accomplishments and such other gifts of Allaah would have been evenly distributed amongst them. Allaah knows best what he does and His 'Awliyaa' who are the masters of the divine secrets know best what they do. There is no Allaah but He and there is no partner to Him.
During this conversation another person named Haroon al-Makki who was more faithful than Sahal bin Hasan, entered in the majlis of Imaam with two shoes hanging in his fingers with its laces and offered salaam to Imaam. When Imaam noticed Haroon he ordered him to sit for a while and then said that I want you to sit in that Tandoor. Without any hesitation or giving another thought, Haroon went and fearlessly sat in the Tandoor. Those present there were scared about the fate of Haroon.
When this happened, Imaam did not pay attention towards the Tandoor and resumed the conversation with Sahal bin Hasan, and asked him about his city Khuraasaan in Persia where he was staying. Imaam Ja'far us Saadiq knew every information and detail of Khuraasaan where Hasan was staying. After listening minute details from Imaam, Hasan was surprised that in spite of him staying there, he didn't know much about that place even though he was born and brought up there. When the conversation ended, Imaam said that, "Let's see what Haroon is doing in the Tandoor?"


The researchers have applied a mathematical model to a real world situation, the environmental collapse of a lake in China, to help prove a theory which suggests an ecosystem 'flickers', or fluctuates dramatically between healthy and unhealthy states, shortly before its eventual collapse.
A team led by Dr Rong Wang extracted core samples from sediment at the bottom of Lake Erhai in Yunnan province, China and charted the levels and variation of fossilised algae (diatoms) over a 125-year period. Analysis of the core sample data showed the algae communities remained relatively stable up until about 30 years before the lake's collapse into a turbid or polluted state. However, the core samples for these last three decades showed much fluctuation, indicating there had been numerous dramatic changes in the types and concentrations of algae present in the water – evidence of the 'flickering' before the lake's final definitive change of state.
Rong Wang comments: "By using the algae as a measure of the lake's health, we have shown that its eco-system 'wobbled' before making a critical transition – in this instance, to a turbid state.
The researchers hope the method they have trialled in China could be applied to other regions and landscapes.
The paper, 'Flickering gives early warning signals of a critical transition to a eutrophic lake state' is published in the journal Nature. For a copy, please contact Peter Franklin at the University of Southampton: p.franklin@soton.ac.uk.

U.S. pathologist and cell biologist, born 1905, New York; died June 12, 1992.
Biography of Harry Eagle
Harry Eagle grew up in Baltimore and graduated M.D. from Johns Hopkins University Medical School in 1927. He remained at Johns Hopkins for the next twenty years as director of its Venereal Disease Research Laboratory and Laboratory of Experimental Therapeutics. During World War II he entered the U.S. Public Health Service, and in 1947 he joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH), holding positions as scientific director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), then as Chief of the Experimental Therapeutics section of the National Microbiological Institute, and later as chief of the Cell Biology Laboratory of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases (NIAID).
In 1961 he joined the Albert Einstein College of Medicine as the founding Chairman of the Department of Cell Biology. He was later founding Director of its Cancer Research Center in which he remained active until last year.
Eagle's early career was devoted to immunological approaches to the diagnosis of syphilis, and in the late 1930's he studied the mechanism of blood coagulation and proposed the enzymatic basis for the clotting mechanism.
Harry Eagle is now particularly remembered for work he began in 1955 to establish the compounds necessary to support the growth of cells in tissue culture. The culture media required for the propagation of animal cells are much more complex than the minimal media sufficient to support the growth of bacteria and yeasts. One result of his research became known as Eagle's medium, which opened the way to the last three decades of extraordinary research on the biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics of normal and malignant mammalian cells.
He was president of the American Society of Microbiology in 1958. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan awarded him the National Medal of Science, the country's highest scientific honour.

What is an eponym?
An eponym is a word derived from the name of a person, whether real or fictional. A medical eponym is thus any word related to medicine, whose name is derived from a person.
What is Whonamedit?
Whonamedit.com is a biographical dictionary of medical eponyms. It is our ambition to present a complete survey of all medical phenomena named for a person, with a biography of that person.
Whonamedit? does not give medical advice.
This survey of medical eponyms and the persons behind them is meant as a general interest site only. No information found here must under any circumstances be used for medical purposes, diagnostically, therapeutically or otherwise. If you, or anybody close to you, is affected, or believe to be affected, by any condition mentioned here: see a doctor.


The site lets viewers search titles.
With the wave of sexual misconduct allegations that have emerged in the wake of The New York Times' bombshell reporting on Harvey Weinstein, it can be hard for moviegoers and viewers to know if their favorite films and shows have been tainted.
A group of creatives at Los Angeles agency Zambezi created Rotten Apples, a site that lets viewers search titles to find out. Searches result in either a rating of "Fresh Apples" (meaning no cast or crew members have allegations against them) or "Rotten Apples," accompanied by names and links to articles detailing the allegations.
"Rotten Apples" range from well-known actors, directors and producers like Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Roman Polanski and Geoffrey Rush to lesser-known individuals such as Murray Miller, a writer on HBO's Girls who has been accused of sexual assault. Any Miramax or Weinstein Company production that credits Harvey Weinstein as an executive producer, for example, will bring up a link to a New Yorker article about the myriad allegations against him.
Zambezi partner and executive director of technology Justice Erolin; user design lead Bekah Nutt; associate creative director and copywriter Tal Wagman; and associate creative director and art director Annie Johnston created the site, which launched Dec. 11. Since then, Rotten Apples has seen over 2.7 million searches from all over the world, far exceeding their expectations.
"I think we've had hits from every country in the world except North Korea," Erolin told Adweek.
Wagman said the project grew out of the realization that sexual misconduct allegations in the entertainment industry were becoming more difficult to keep track of.
"It just became clear that we needed to try to make some kind of tool that would make it easier for people to keep track of what was going on and become ethical consumers of media," Wagman said.
He added that they weren't trying to tell users what to do with the information, just providing "people trying to be conscientious viewers" the means to make informed decisions.
The Rotten Apples team starting working on the site about two months ago, compiling names and links to what they say are "reliable third-party sources" like The Washington Post and The New York Times.
Erolin estimated that the site has been updated 10 to 12 times since its launch as the result of user submissions.
"It's not that the movie itself is a rotten apple; it's that these individuals are," Johnston said.
The short-term goal for Rotten Apples is to keep up with the news and maintain accuracy, while longer term, its creators hope it can evolve with its users' needs.
Johnston said the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace is "widespread all over every industry," including advertising. "I don't think any industry is exempt from it," she said.

Take a Chance is about Monica's attempt to return to R&B's center stage, but it's also about Wale's emergence as a go-to rapper for R&B joints. For the still beautiful songstress' new record, following her DJBooth-approved super collab It All Belongs to Me, Monica recruits producers Rico Love and Earl & E for an instrumental that's thoroughly understated, fading into the background during the verses before rising into a layered affair for the chorus. Vocally, Monica is as smooth and steady as always, delivering an impassioned plea to her lover to take that leap and hope they land in love. As for the aforementioned Mr. Folarin, Wale delivers a commitment-phobic verses that promise his lady everything…except for a ring: "Got a past I'm ashamed of, past full of danger / I can give you everything, but the last name is sacred." So how about it DJBooth Nation? Is Monica back to her winning ways? Has Wale emerged as a R&B/rap leading man? Either way, we'll have plenty more to discuss when Monica's It All Belongs to Me album drops this Tuesday, April 10.

Since the founding of the Hong Kong Federation of Women in 1993, our service to the community has grown extensively. In order to meet the public's massive demand for our services, Mrs. Peggy Lam, Chairperson of HFKW sought support from the District Land Office for granting us the adjacent plot of land for building a new centre which would cater well to the public's needs for many years to come. Our application for this piece of land was subsequently approved, and we would like to express our heartful appreciation and gratitude to the Government for supporting our service to the community.
In our next stage of fundraising for construction of the centre, Mrs. Lam spoke to Mr. Walter Kwok of the Sun Hung Kai Group, who was kind enough to support us by recommending us to Mrs. Kwok Kwong Siu Hing and the T.S. Kwok Foundation. We were overwhelmed by the foundation's generous donation of HK$13,000,000 for the centre's construction and the purchase of equipment and furniture.

Q: MS MPI Permission errors I have two machines both with MS MPI 7.1 installed, one called SERVER and one called COMPUTE.
The machines are set up on LAN in a simple windows workgroup (No DA), and both have an account with the same name and password.
Both are running the MSMPILaunchSvc service.
Both machines can execute MPI jobs locally, verified by testing with the hostname command
SERVER> mpiexec -hosts 1 SERVER 1 hostname
SERVER
or
COMPUTE> mpiexec -hosts 1 COMPUTE 1 hostname
COMPUTE

in a terminal on the machines themselves.
I have disabled the firewall on both machines to make things easier.
My problem is I can not get MPI to run jobs from SERVER on a remote host:

What's even more frustrating here is that only sometimes I get prompted to enter a password. It suggests SERVER\Maarten as the user for COMPUTE, the account I am already logged in as on SERVER and shouldn't exist on COMPUTE (should be COMPUTE\Maarten then?). Nonetheless it also fails:

A: I found after trial and error that these and other unspecific errors come up when trying to run MS MPI with different configurations (in my case a mix of HPC Cluster 2008 and HPC Cluster 2012 with MSMPI).
The solution was to downgrade all nodes to Windows Server 2008 R2 with HPC Cluster 2008. Because I dont use AD, I had to fall back to using the SMPD daemon and add firewall rules for it (skipping the cluster management tools alltogether).

One of the worst parts of my job is telling people to remove their beloved collections. To Sell your home quicker and for more money, it does involve you detaching from your home. I often put it like this - If I could get you $30,000 more if you packed up all your counter and wall stuff - would you? Remove anything that defines your home one way or another so that someone else may see themselves there and you will receive faster and higher offers! It's true! It really is one of the most important things to do. The above photo represents a Home well prepared. This is what I am striving for in my Listings ... Often those homes that are not willing to pack it up sell not only for less money, but also take more time. Buyers can't see past the owners things and most of all can't envision this home as their own.
At first, I didn't believe all those Home Stagers who say that before you put your house on the market, you should strip it of your personality. Yeah right, I thought. That advice is for people who have no taste, no style. They haven't seen my home — or yours. Who wouldn't appreciate our family photos, book collections, and other awesome items we have.
You see...our homes are filled with framed photographs of friends and family. There are family portraits, images from important events, and snapshots from vacations. While we may enjoy seeing these images on a daily basis, potential home buyers are not interested in seeing our memories in those frames. It's important for them to see this space as their own. They need to be able to imagine their own photographs hanging on the walls, sitting on the shelves, and pinned to the refrigerator. They need to envision themselves living there... not you. They cannot take ownership mentally in YOUR home so it needs to be clear of your personal belongings so they see the home itself, and then can envision themselves in it. That's when their need to own your home goes up and so does your Sales Price!!
Here's the brutal truth: People looking to buy your home don't care who you are, what sports your kids play, how you looked on your wedding day or where you went to college. They don't care about the bass you caught on the Arkansas River, your painted velvet art collection, your ballroom dance trophies, your quilting project, or that photo of you standing on top of Mount McKinley looking like a street person. If they do get intrigued by the photo of you standing with Gene Simmons or Queen Elizabeth, they're not focusing on your home, which is the point. Right?
Since you are going to be moving, this is a good time to get a head start on the packing process for your coming move. Pack away photographs and other pieces of memorabilia that adorn your walls. Your favorite Collections need to be packed as well for it is your favorites and rarely do I find a Buyer and Seller that 100% have the same interests and decorating ideas. Putting these items in boxes now will save you time when the actual move takes place.
Keep in mind that you'll want to do this before photographs are taken for listing your home for sale. Those photographs will be online for buyers to browse, and they will be looking closely to make a decision whether they want to see your house. First impressions are everything, and you only get one chance to make a positive impression that makes them want to take a closer look at your house.
Can you see the Beautiful Granite Counter Top and Cabinetry in this photo or do you find your eye learning towards all the items placed on the Counter... this is what we mean by depersonalizing a home and why. We want buyers to see the home since that is what we are selling here. Also the space can appear smaller and cramped with many belongings on the Counters.
Front entry: Here's where buyers get that important first impression, often within the first 60 seconds. Have sellers leave out only the most practical furnishings, such as a bench and side table. Wall art and photos should be scaled back to three or four, says Nanette Plescia, sales manager for national home builder Lennar.
Kitchen: This hub of the house typically gets extra scrutiny and recommends removing refrigerator door magnets, throwing out expired food, placing loose contents in containers, and leaving enough empty space so shelves can be viewed front to back. She also suggests sellers take the same approach with pantries, cabinets, drawers, and shelves.
Bathrooms. Besides telling sellers to clear counters and fixture surfaces, be sure they remove prescriptions for safety reasons. Loose items such as toothbrushes and hair styling tools should be stored neatly. Towels should be put away unless sellers have new ones that they can keep neatly folded for showings.
1. Get the right mind-set. Once you list your home, detach yourself. It's not about you anymore. Treat the house as a commodity. Make changes that will broaden its appeal.
2. Start at the curb. Look at what people see when they pull up. Trim hedges, prune trees, mow the lawn and plant flowers. If the mailbox is tired and address numbers are falling off, replace them. Walk around the house; get all debris off the property.
3. Paint — it's money in a can. Outside, a coat of paint is one of the best face-lifts you can give your house for a relatively low price. If you don't want to paint the whole house, paint the trim. Inside, paint walls a soft neutral like warm beige, sage or gold. Paint says fresh start and masks odors.
4. Focus on the entry. The front door makes a strong first impression. Make sure the door, hardware and porch decor look fabulous.
5. Start packing. Most homes would show much better with 50 percent less stuff. Since you're already moving, give yourself a head start by packing away clothes, books and dishes you won't need for the next few months. Thinning out bookcases and closets lets buyers better appreciate the space, and gives the illusion that the house offers more than adequate storage. If you can't get the stuff into off-site storage, stack neat, labeled boxes in the garage. While you're at it, clear surfaces. In kitchens, leave out just one appliance. Leave just a phone and a lamp on your desk. Think nice hotel.
6. Catch up on maintenance. Do those minor repairs you should have done already. Paying attention to details signals that you care about big stuff, too.
8. Add house bling. Update anything metal. People see shiny new metal, and say "Oooh." You can buy a new dining room light fixture for $200, and one for the porch for $40. Change doorknobs, faucets and curtain rods if they're worn and dull. You may only need a can of spray paint. Styles don't change; metals do. If you have dated polished brass fixtures, paint them an updated metallic that looks like oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel or iron.
9. Clean house. Clean is relative, but we often don't notice our own dirt. So look hard, starting with the switch plate by the front door. Wipe it down along with all light switches, doors and baseboards. If you're not the best housekeeper, hire a service. Every surface should sparkle.
10. Banish smells. Pet odors kill deals. When people walk in, they should either smell nothing or a really nice scent, like cinnamon, citrus for fresh baked cookies. Put out potpourri, or fresh flowers. Have carpets, if not replaced, professionally cleaned and deodorized.

Q: caffe: How to interpret EuclideanLoss (pixel-wise regression) I have and image as input and an image as ground_truth. My last layer is a EuclideanLoss where the last convolutional layer has num_output = 1 in order to calculate the loss between these two images.
When testing the network with my deploy.prototxt I am omitting the EuclideanLoss-layer which means that my last layers are a Convolutional layer followed by a Relu layer. How do I have to interpret the values when I retrieve them via Python as:
pred = net.forward()

output_blob = pred['result']

output_blob is of shap 1xheightxwidth but the values are not in a specific range. They can even be negative. How do you retrieve the proper values to create an image? Or how do I have to interpret these values? Do I have to substract them from the input image or how should I treat them?

A: If you know that your output should be non negative, why use a ReLU with negative slope?, I would change it for a regular ReLU layer.
Then, after using forward(), you should get the output data like this:
output_data=output_blob.data[...]

that output could have a shape like Batch,nchannels,H,W.
You can use output_data=np.squeeze (output_data)
to have the output as a 2D matrix.
EDIT:
The way to interpret the last layer values would be, that it is the image that is the closest (in terms of L2 distance) to the depth estimations seen during training for the given input.

Twitter offers more details on action plan for U.S. election
The Twitter app loads on an iPhone in this illustration photograph taken in Los Angeles, July 22, 2019. Photo by Mike Blake /REUTERS / FILES
Twitter Inc on Monday outlined a plan for placing warning labels on tweets from U.S. election candidates and campaigns that claim victory in advance of official results.
The move comes as the social network braces for what it has called an unusual election due to a high number of mail-in ballots that may cause a delay in final results.
Beginning on election night through the inauguration, Twitter said it would place warning labels such as "official sources called this election differently," or "official sources may not have called the race when this was tweeted."
U.S.-based accounts with over 100,000 followers and a significant engagement will also be considered for labelling, Twitter said.
Social media companies are under pressure to combat election-related misinformation and prepare for the possibility of violence or poll place intimidation around the November vote.
In an updated blog, the company said it would consider state election officials and national news outlets such as ABC News, Associated Press, CNN and Fox News that have independent election decision desks as official sources for results.
Their official Twitter accounts will be exempted from labelling, the company said.


Young Actor Max Records has graduated from taming Wild Things to battling Robots!
In his next film "Blinky," directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker/animator Ruairi Robinson, Records' character receives a retro robot after much pleading ("All my friends have one!"), declaring that the ever-smiling machine will be his "new best friend." From the sinister tone of the trailer below, it doesn't seem likely they'll be best friends forever. The independent project is scheduled to make rounds in film festivals but I'd rather see it sooner than later and in the local theater…please!
"Photography, for me, is an act of paying attention, responding, and manipulating context. Ultimately, I photograph small things that hint at larger ideas – moments, objects, relationships, gestures – the details of everyday living that, when put into another context, take on weight. This approach has resulted in several different projects.
