This web site is dedicated to my "Guardian Angel" and constant companion along the way.
He is also known by several nicknames, one of them being "Joe."
My life would have been very different without his love and support. He always stands behind me with his love and encouragement... and sometimes gives me a "push" when I need it!
You know... for an "imaginary playmate," he sure has had a lot to say!
A little more about Sherry's "Guardian Angel"
I call my Angel, Guide and companion "Joe" - although this is not his real spiritual name. He has been with me since I can remember. I was about 8-9 months old when I began talking. Sometimes I talked about other places, times and my "imaginary" friend. I called him "Yes" when I was very small, because that was my favorite word.
My mother wasn't upset or alarmed by this, she just told me that I was remembering back to when I was with Jesus in Heaven. This didn't quite sound right to either of us, but she really had no idea what I was babbling about.
When I was a little older, I called him "Shamran", or Sham for short. He always told me that names weren't important and that I could call him anything. "A rose by any other name is still a rose..."
As a child, I loved to look at his shining light. He was my special, mostly secret, lovely friend. He was very tall and he almost always wore a turban and a white robe when I was young. He was playful with me. Sometimes I would ask him to grow antenna like a Martian and turn green. I liked the effect!
Of course, he doesn't look like this, he is really a Being of Light that uses another form so that I can look at him easier.
As I grew older, I became uncomfortable with how he looked with his robe and turban. I didn't know anyone else who wore clothes like that. So when I was a teenager, I asked him to change into something a little less obvious. I didn't like his name anymore, and I guess it was like when kids get to a certain age and are embarrassed by everything their parents do.
Anyhow, in his love for me, he changed himself for me. His robe became a pair of electric blue overalls, and he wore a battered old cap. Ever since he has been "Joe" to me. This comes from a time and place when his name was Esteban Giuseppe Petronelli - Joe for short and I was his younger brother.
Joe is a simple name, that I felt comfortable with. It wasn't part of my reality or true understanding that so very, very few other people could also see him. That just didn't enter my mind at the time. I was just concerned with myself.
Why is it so difficult for to accept others for who they are? Too often, we need to change them into something "more acceptable..." Out of his love for me, Joe "re-invented" himself for me. Yes, it comes down to acceptance. I could accept him as a plain "Joe" easier than I could the incredible Being that he is.
I had a profound mystical experience after having a heart attack over twenty plus years ago. As a result, I took a new look at my old friend, in all of his light and glory. After all of those years, I realized how little I had really accepted Joe. I'd expected and needed him to love me, unconditionally. In return, I demanded that he conform or I wouldn't let him stay with me. I wept as I realized how selfish I was and how unkindly I had behaved. I'd stuck him "into a little box," for my own comfort. I wouldn't allow him to be himself.
Most of us do this to some degree or another, with just about everyone we meet. It is hard not to put our needs and expectations first when we deal with others. But we miss out on the richness of life, and the diversity of personalities if we do this. After my experience with Joe, I vowed that I would redouble my efforts to honor and respect others' needs and accept and allow them to be whoever they really are, at the moment.
A few years ago, I discovered that at several spiritual paths in the world recognize Joe as a Master teacher, under his lifetime with the name of Shams-I-Tabriz. That really surprised me and even upset me. I had not expected or wanted Joe to be a "Master." It goes back to my lack of acceptance of him and most of all, of myself.
I know it probably sounds silly, but that is how I felt. When I found out that others knew of him and respected him I was shocked and upset. It took several days to begin to deal with the idea. I realized that I didn't want a "guardian angel" who was thought of as a spiritual Master and teacher... I had to admit to, and confront my fears of, expectations - expectations that I thought would now be on me. And then I had to take a look at the fact that I didn't want to try and live up to these nebulous expectations.
I grew up and realized that not many people have such a close and open relationship with their Guides. I think I must have needed it to get through this life, or it wouldn't have happened. I am in my sixties now and I still do not know who I would be if not for him. Through thick and thin, Joe has been the architect and guardian of my heart and Soul. At the end of this life it will be Joe that waits for me, eager to bring me Home to our Creator.


Panama City Beach, Florida is one of the country's hottest destinations for college and university students looking to spend Spring Break under the sun and on the beach. Almost synonymous with Spring Break are criminal violations, arrests, and law enforcement stings. When the party gets out of hand and people wind up in jail, my firm is there to help protect their rights and their future – after all, one conviction can lead to serious consequences that educational institutions are not quick to forget and forgive.
Were you arrested on Panama City Beach? Contact a Panama City criminal defense attorney Albert J. Sauline, III today for a free consultation.
For many college students, Spring Break is the one time of the year that they feel like they can enjoy themselves. Most who do end up arrested for one criminal violation or another have never encountered law enforcement before and may be pushed around by a criminal justice system that knows they do not know their own rights.
In the chaotic scene of Spring Break on Panama City Beach, the police can have great difficulty actually collecting evidence to use against you. This is not something they want you to realize and may do their best to get you to confess to something before you have an attorney present. I always encourage my clients to remember their Miranda rights at all times. When you retain my legal services, I can act quickly to determine if they have done any wrongdoing or lack substantial evidence to dismantle the prosecution's claims.
Even though time is of the essence, as every day the prosecution works on their offense and you do not work on your defense can be seen as a disadvantage, you do not need make a hasty decision about who you retain for defense.

biologycu December 17, 2019 GABAB Receptors
In progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME), a rare epileptic syndrome due to a number of genetic disorders, the mix of peripheral stimulation and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can reveal the mechanisms underlying cortical dysfunction. between neurophysiological and BOLD results of SSEPs (giant SSEP with minimal BOLD activation over SM). A primary pathway connecting an extremely restricted section of the somatosensory cortex with the thalamus could be hypothesized to aid the bigger excitability of the areas. Progressive myoclonic epilepsies (PMEs) certainly are AZD-9291 small molecule kinase inhibitor a group of uncommon genetic disorders with geographical and ethnic variants, seen as a worsening myoclonus, generalized seizures, and progressive neurological deterioration which includes cerebellar dysfunction and dementia. PMEs may affect all age range, but typically within past due childhood or adolescence. The prognosis is normally poor, with people who have PME ultimately wheel-seat bound and with minimal lifestyle expectancy1. PMEs change from juvenile myoclonic epilepsy on the next aspects: i) complicated phenotype which includes epilepsy plus motion disorder (actions myoclonus); ii) progressive neurological disability; iii) failure to react to antiepileptic medications; iv) slowing of background electroencephalographic (EEG) activity2; v) existence of huge evoked potentials3. The PMEs primary phenotype outcomes from different illnesses which have heterogeneous genetic backgrounds, the most typical being Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD), Lafora disease (LD), and various other rarer pathologies4. In PMEs, myoclonus includes a cortical correlate disclosed by the evaluation of EEG-electromyography (EMG) coupling, with a time-locking of myoclonic muscles contraction and spikes on EEG. Various other symptoms of cortical AZD-9291 small molecule kinase inhibitor hyper-excitability consist of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) of elevated amplitude, referred to as giant-evoked potentials. The enlarged amplitude of SSEPs, highly suggestive of an elevated excitability in response to incoming stimuli, allows to AZD-9291 small molecule kinase inhibitor research how stimuli are prepared, and which may be the stability Rabbit Polyclonal to MDM4 (phospho-Ser367) between excitatory and inhibitory phenomena5,6,7,8. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is certainly a noninvasive technique that steps hemodynamic changes associated with neuronal activation in the brain using blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) contrast. The BOLD signal does not directly reflect neuronal activity, but arises from changes in hemodynamic properties. It consists of several contributions: the neuronal response to a stimulus, the complex relationship between neuronal activity and its hemodynamic response, the hemodynamic response itself, and how the MRI scanner detects it9. The neurovascular coupling between AZD-9291 small molecule kinase inhibitor the neuronal activity and hemodynamic response has been largely discussed10 and models that characterize dynamics and features of the hemodynamic responses evoked by a neural activity have been suggested11. In addition, there has been growing interest in studying the potential complexity of the relationship between fMRI and simultaneous electrophysiological measurements, such as EEG12 or SSEPs13,14. In PME subjects, motor tasks inside the MRI scanner may not be feasible due to the large motion artefacts. A passive stimulus, such as an electrical peripheral stimulation, combined with fMRI would contribute to assess the cortical function. BOLD response to median-nerve stimulation in controls has been widely described15,16. Seminal studies compared the evoked EEG potential and the fMRI response to somatosensory stimulation in normal subjects reporting a parallel increase of SSEP amplitude and BOLD signal with increasing stimulus intensity. This finding has been interpreted as strongly suggestive of the linear neurovascular coupling relationship9,13,17. In healthy volunteers, increasing the stimulus frequency decreases SSEP amplitude. The most likely explanation is usually that the complex inhibitory mechanisms mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAergic) connections within the parietal cortex reduce the excitatory postsynaptic potential on those cells generating the SSEP components. Conversely, the BOLD increase could reflect the intensification of inhibitory circuits that produce the reduction of SSEP components18. The pathogenesis of myoclonus in PME relies on abnormal processing of sensory input, with the presence of giant SSEPs, typically associated with increased long-latency reflexes, and hyper-excitable motor responses to afferent stimulation18. In a preliminary study, based on the enlarged topographical diffusion of the SSEP AZD-9291 small molecule kinase inhibitor cortical components recorded in one subject with PME, we hypothesized an augmented, widespread BOLD signal over multiple cortical areas, especially in the parietal and frontal regions. Contrary to our expectations, giant SSEPs and a highly focal BOLD activation of the contralateral sensorimotor areas during median-nerve electrical stimulation were detected19. The aim of this study is to confirm the initial observation of dissociation between neurophysiological findings and BOLD activation in a case.

Technology and Procrastination: What Causes Procrastination?
In high schools all around the United States, all students can agree: procrastination always seems to get into the way of productivity.
In this day and age, technology seems to encapsulate everything we do, and an increasing number of people are beginning to believe technology is to blame for the procrastination that is taking ahold of so many young student's lives. It is not unreasonable to blame technology for procrastination, because more and more students are given access to new technology every day. However, although technology may give students an excuse to divert their attention away from work, procrastination is not caused by technology, but rather caused by every humans innate fear of confrontation and work.
In a recent survey conducted at Oakton High School, it was found that about 80% of all student recipients were self-identified "procrastinators." Along with this, the same survey reported that 100% of the students reported that they have used technology such as phones, laptops, and TV to procrastinate. However, a follow-up question also revealed that only 6% of the students surveyed regularly used technology to procrastinate, and that most of the students preferred activities such as eating, sleeping, and exercising. In the same survey, 100% of the students all claimed that procrastination was harmful to academic success. This data proves that there is much more to understand about procrastination, and that simply blaming technology does not completely reveal why students procrastinate.
With this information, understanding the cause of procrastination is extremely important in order to help combat it. Procrastination is like a drug; the more one partakes in it, the more one becomes susceptible to it. Every time a student procrastinates, they appease their brain's gratification system, and they feel reduced stress and higher levels of relaxation. This ultimately leads to continued procrastination, which has many negative effects on the student's mental health and academic achievement. This proves that procrastination is more than just a bad habit caused by technology, and that it is important to reduce it so that students can be as physically and mentally healthy as possible.
Procrastination is difficult to manage, but not impossible. Because procrastination is a psychological behavior, it can be quelled through brief psychological conditioning. Simple tasks, such as organizing schedules, can be effective in preventing procrastination. Along with the survey mentioned previously, Organization can allow one to allot a certain time designated for work, and a certain time designated for relaxation. This type of time organization, while seemingly elementary, can help reduce stress levels associated with work as well as increase motivation to continue working. Another strategy that can be implemented is to create a reward system for assignments, so that every time a task is completed the brain is rewarded with something, such as food, or sleep. This type of conditioning allows for the brain to enjoy completing tasks, because it will associate completion of work with relaxation and enjoyment.
While these strategies can be helpful to deter procrastination, it is still dependent on how each person responds to the conditioning. Regardless of this, understanding the link between procrastination and psychology, and understanding the minimal role that technology plays in the relationship can help students truly make efforts to stop procrastination for the betterment of their own lives.

An Interview with Evan Marc Katz on Meghan Daum's Unspeakable Podcast
I am a very fortunate man.
I get to be my own boss.
I spend my days helping women make better relationship choices that lead to lasting love.
I'm very happily married and actually like my wife and kids.
One of the other ways I'm lucky is that I've been a writer in LA for over 20 years. Even though I was never wildly successful, I'm one degree of separation from people who are.
I had my brush with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck when I wrote a script that finished in the Top 3 in HBO's Project Greenlight in 2001.
I coached bestselling author Lori Gottlieb while she was writing her book "Marry Him" in 2010, before she became a national sensation with "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone."
And through the magic of Facebook, I came to befriend writer and former LA Times columnist Meghan Daum.
I find her work to be fearless – a breath of fresh air in a climate where so many are afraid to speak their minds.
I've been a fan of hers for many years, and I find her work to be fearless – a breath of fresh air in a climate where so many are afraid to speak their minds.
So when she told me she wanted to interview me for her new Unspeakable Podcast and have me on after such luminaries as Dr. Drew and Chelsea Handler, I leapt at the chance.
Because while it is fun to make 5-minute videos about men who suck at texting, what I love even more is going deep. And Meghan really goes there.
During our interview, we covered:
The state of male/female relations and how that has affected my work.
Generational divides when it comes to sex/courtship/commitment., particularly how this might contribute to misunderstandings over sexual consent.
The idea of a "man shortage" and the degree to which this has to do with feminism and women "overtaking" men so that educated, successful women are competing for a tiny pool of equal-or-higher status men.
What happens to the men who are left behind and whether we're talking about incels with enough subtlety.
It's really juicy stuff – and Meghan and I both love to tackle it head-on, with honesty and something that's been lacking in our national dialogue: nuance.
There's a lot more in there and I'm not sure how Meghan edited it, but I highly recommend that you take a listen and subscribe to the Unspeakable Podcast.

Warmest wishes and much love,

Ready Player One pushes Steven Spielberg past $10bn box office milestone
From Jurassic Park to Jaws, Sky News takes a look at the celebrated filmmaker's biggest successes.
By Tom Acres, News Reporter

Ready Player One has helped make Steven Spielberg become the first director to gross a total of $10bn at the worldwide box office.
The latest blockbuster from the legendary filmmaker - adapted from the cult novel by Ernest Cline - has proved a hit with audiences across the globe, with takings of $474.8m (£333.1m) since it opened last month.
It is likely to overtake the $481.8m (£338.2m) earned by Saving Private Ryan, for which Spielberg won the Academy Award for best director, and become his sixth biggest cinema moneymaker of all time.
:: Spielberg: I have 'sad, low period' after films
Ready Player One came just over two months after the release of his political drama The Post, which has taken a more modest $174.4m (£122.4m) but was a big hit with critics - including Sky's Adam Boulton.
With plenty of hits spanning multiple decades, Spielberg - whose next film is a fifth instalment in the Indiana Jones series - is way ahead of the next highest-grossing director, Peter Jackson, whose movies have totalled $6.5bn (£4.6bn).
He has had so many hits that some of his most iconic work, including Raiders of the Lost Ark and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, does not even make it into his top 10 highest-grossing films.

Beacon House Capital Campaign rolled out
MARQUETTE – NFL Network star and former head coach of the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers Steve Mariucci kicked off the Beacon House U.P. Celebrity Golf Classic Wednesday with the announcement that the organization will begin a capital campaign to build a new Beacon House near the new Duke LifePoint Hospital.
The new hospital being built along West Baraga Avenue is expected to be completed in the fall of 2018.
The "Legacy of Love" Capital Campaign Project is now officially underway, with Mariucci and his wife, Gayle, handing over a check representing their $150,000 pledge to name the new facility's outdoor courtyard for the Mariucci Family Foundation. Dozens of celebrities and sponsors also pledged their financial support at the golf event for the new hospitality house location, according to the release.
"When a loved one is in critical condition, the only place you want to be is by their side," Mariucci said. "If Beacon House stays where it is, many people will not consider it as an option, being so far from where they need to be – 15 blocks is like a million miles when you're at your unconscious child's bedside."
Butch and Ellen Frank called the Beacon House rooms their home for more than a month last fall.
"On Oct. 20, 2015, we got a call that our son Peter was hit by a car," Butch Frank said. "He had a broken back, broken femur, punctured lung, broken ribs, broken scapula, a concussion and a fractured tailbone. He had tire marks where the tires spun over his torso. His liver and spleen were damaged."
Peter was flown from St. Francis Hospital in Escanaba to Marquette, and Butch and Ellen were told that he might not come out of it.
"There was no way we were leaving his side," Frank said. "The Beacon House hospitality rooms became home to us for over a month. I don't know what we would have done if they weren't there."
Beacon House is an independent non-profit organization and does not charge guests for their stay, but instead asks guests to consider a donation that is affordable to them.
Since opening the Beacon House doors in 2002, and incorporating the hospitality rooms in the hospital in 2013, the organization has provided more than 175,000 guest nights at both facilities. Beacon House includes 33 guest rooms at the facility on North Third Street, approximately one block from the hospital. There are also 11 hospitality rooms with 22 beds in the hospital itself.
Although the new Duke LifePoint hospital plans do not include the hospitality rooms, UP Health System Regional President Jim Bogan has expressed its intent to support the Beacon House, according to the news release.
"We are currently working with Beacon House to help secure property near the new hospital and ensure this important resource continues to be available to our patients and their families," Bogan said. "We are committed to this cause, and will make every possible effort to help keep Beacon House operational and viable to the people of the Upper Peninsula for the future."
The new hospital is 15 blocks away from the existing Beacon House location. Beacon House plans to seek support over the next several months from U.P. communities it serves to determine if the financial support is there to build a new Beacon House closer to the new hospital.
Estimates for a 60-room facility that would include family suites, a children's playroom, a community family-style kitchen, guest television lounge, a designated lounge for cancer patients with compromised immune systems are nearly $6.4 million.
The capital campaign will provide many naming opportunities and pledges can be spread out over a 5-year period. The capital campaign project will determine how many rooms can be financially supported, and the Beacon House board of directors has committed to proceeding without any long term debt.
The organization is hoping much of the needed building materials can be procured from business donations or at a discounted price, which could help bring down the project cost.
Contributions to the Beacon House "Legacy of Love" capital campaign can be made online at www.upbeaconhouse.org or by calling 225-7100. For more information, contact Mary Tavernini Dowling at mary@upbeaconhouse.org or 360-6000.

Asia: India and Nepal
Riding into India in Style
by Matt Thomas
Good old Lonely Planet gives two pieces of advice to travellers coming from Nepal to Varanasi. The first being to arrange your own bus at the border at Sonauli, interestingly 15 minutes forward time wise from India, I didn't do this. I paid 800 rupees (about £7.50) for a through ticket from Chitwan in southern Nepal, comprising of 2 buses and then a train from Gorakpur to Varanasi. As I gazed longingly at the air-conditioned coaches I realised this was my first mistake.
Having made it to the border despite the first bus breaking down I found the hotel where I was to meet a Mr Para who would supply me with my onward bus ticket to Gorakpur. What could go wrong? I was greeted by a group of late teens/early twenties guys, one of whom, put me on the most cramped, over crowded local bus you could imagine. When more and more people poured on and the prospect of spending three hours without being able to move a muscle or breath became a possibility I reasoned to take Lonely Planet's advice.
One problem. My bag was bound to the top of the bus and the man in charge was in no mood to untie them all just for me. Then India presented a solution. "You can sit on the roof if you want." Rats have not moved up drainpipes faster. So I rode into India waving at all around me – the crazy guy alone on top of the bus. Awesome.
There is a technique to this, when the bus is moving it's preferable to lay flat down and cling on or the bumps in the road and speed of the bus will force your swift departure from your peak as King of the World. As the sun went down, it became distinctly chilly, but I really couldn't have cared less. I dismounted at Gorakpur, very fortunately outside the railway station, which was absolutely vast.


Public schools in South Africa can look forward to joining the digital education revolution as some of their private school counterparts have been experiencing for the past few years, but education experts have cautioned against a rush to provide tablets and other digital infrastructure before a solid strategy and fundamentals have been put in place.
In the rush to get on board with the 4th Industrial Revolution – a term many are invoking without truly understanding the issues involved – private schools have increasingly been offering coding, robotics and digital learning on their campuses.
However simply offering content that previously used to be in book or paper format, and not investing time and money in an holistic approach to content and delivery, as well as proper educator and support staff training, will render such initiatives futile and expensive mistakes.
While there is much talk about coding and ICT in schools, the key success factor when introducing technology in classrooms is the development of an appropriate and defined curriculum. And very importantly, tech in the classroom can never replace the fundamental core skills required for academic excellence.
In his State of the Nation address this month, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that government would, over the next six years, provide every school child in South Africa with digital workbooks and textbooks on a tablet device.
While the sentiment is welcomed, there is much work to be done before the time arrives to unbox devices.
– Dr Neelam Parmar, renowned global tech-ed expert.
"There is great potential in creating online learning systems to close the widening educational gap," Dr Parmar says, "but to get to this point in education, it is vital that the government first understand the relevance of emerging technologies and the means of how to offer the necessary digital literacy skills for our next generation".
She says the right curriculum is essential for successful and sustainable digital transformation in classrooms, and while the market is inundated with companies that claim to offer bespoke educational solutions, private – and now also the public education sector in South Africa – must realise that one solution does not fit all.
We embedded a digital literacy curriculum which follows a structured format, and affords a flexible approach to adapt to the requirements of the classroom.
The curriculum takes into account industry-wide key digital skills in areas of computational thinking and programming, creativity and communication and computer networks and collaboration.
There is a great deal of hype around the 4th Industrial Revolution, and undoubtedly change is taking place at a phenomenal level, yet any change at this level needs to come with a vision, and with a vision we need a strategy.
"The risk is often that visions are little more than ideas without substance or structure", Dr Parmar says.
For technology to become relevant in education, a strategy considering the grand scheme of systems, teaching and learning, curriculum redesign, teacher training, community, new partnerships and the relevant stakeholders, has to be considered.
It is now time to act on delivering the right education to our students, by using the technology we know can make it happen.
I agree fully. Technology aspects are simply just the tip of the iceberg. Our experience with the (DST and DRLDR funded) ICT4RED component of the TECH4RED research project and technology demonstrator in the Eastern Cape was that the emphasis needs to be on modelling the behaviour in your teaching of the teachers so that they can apply it in the classroom. It is a new way of teaching and relevant teaching methodologies must be applied. Content enrichment is required and use outside the classroom by teachers to become familiar with the technology and applications. Adequate and fast technical support is required and the big question is who will replace the tablet when it breaks. Quintile 1 to 3 schools do not have money to replace tablets or laptops, yet the assets will be transferred to the schools…. Search for #ICT4RED on Twitter to get a sense of the dynamics.

Serena Williams opens Australian Open run with win over Belinda Bencic
Serena Williams starts good after advancing to the second round in the Australian Open 2017 / Photo from 'Sporting News' - sportingnews.com
Six-time Aussie Open Champion and 2017 second seed pulls straight-set victory
by Morgan
January 17, 2017 at 10:46 PM January 17, 2017 at 10:46 PM
The Australian Open 2017 is underway, and the best Tennis players in the world who could be there are out in force to better their ranking or take the first cup in this year's Grand Slam run. This is the stage wherein American tennis goddess and one-time WTA Number 1 Serena Williams finds herself, seeded second at the women's singles first round. She faces off against younger Swiss player Belinda Bencic, who had successfully beaten Williams in the 2015 Rogers Cup semifinals in Toronto, which she went on to win. Williams herself was coming off a loss two weeks earlier at the New Zealand ASB Classic against fellow American Madison Brengle.
With these defeats in mind, the younger of the remarkable Williams tennis sisters went on to win over Bencic and advance to round 2.
Serena on a mission
At 35-years-old, Williams was in the greying area wherein pro tennis players begin to question whether they can keep on the game or retire. (It's not always an easy question; Jimmy Connors still played well beyond Serena's current age.) The circumstances of her opening match for this Australian Open were also additional sources of pressure. As stated earlier, the last time Williams took on Bencic two years ago, she was beaten. And her very last match in the last tournament she was in also wasn't in her favor. Now she's facing the young Swiss, 19 years old.
In her own words, Serena feels that this time she has "nothing to lose". But there's also one other thing going for her, a tangible objective driving her to her utmost potential: she's planning to win this Grand Slam event to set a new record of 23 Grand Slam title wins.
In the ensuing battle at Melbourne under the blistering heat, Williams paid Bencic back for their previous encounter with a strong 6-4 and 6-3 sweep of the first two sets.
And she enjoyed every minute of that initial victory as she later said, "Every match I'm playing for fun. I get to travel the world and do what I do best - play tennis." Indeed, things are off to a good start for Williams after losing in last year's Australian Open. Should she capture the championship this time, she'll break her 22-Grand Slam singles tie with the legendary Steffi Graf.
While Williams is setting up for her record title run, on the men's side of this Australian Open, one of the top two seeds has also opened strong. On Day 2 second men's singles seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia beat Spain's Fernando Verdasco, while on the following day top seed Andy Murray will take on Russia's Andrey Rublev.

4 of the Best Bitlocker Alternatives
Robert Zak
Bitlocker is a great encryption tool integrated into Windows 10. But it's not for everyone, as only Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise users have access to it. Sorry Windows 10 Home folks, this one's just not for you, and you'll need to look for an alternative.
But don't fret, because there are plenty of options out there, many with more robust functionality than Microsoft's option. Here we're going to talk you through some of our favourite third-party encryption software beyond Bitlocker.
1. VeraCrypt
If you're a home user and are looking for a free and easy-to-use encryption software for Windows 10, then the open-source VeraCrypt is a great first port of call. You get enterprise-grade encryption, which essentially lets you create encrypted passwords for all your drives and partitions contained therein.
You can mount and create virtual encrypted drives, as well as encrypt your OS partition for maximum security. There's plenty of choice in terms of the kind of encryption algorithms you want to use, too, including the all-popular AES, as well as lesser-known but still robust algorithms like Twofish and Camellia.
In terms of hashing algorithms, your options are SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160.
2. Windows Device Encryption
Just because you're a Windows 10 Home user doesn't mean you're left entirely out in the cold when it comes to onboard encryption. Some Windows 10 Home PCs have a device encryption feature, but your PC will need to be both TPM and UEFI-enabled and support connected standby mode.
If you're unsure whether your PC has these features, the easiest thing to do is just check directly to see if you have device encryption capability.
To do this: in Windows 10 go to "Settings -> Update & Security." If you do have device encryption, you'll see the option appear in the pane on the left of the window. Just click it, then click the "Turn on" button for device encryption.
3. Jetico BestCrypt Volume Encryption
For a more in-depth commercial option, Jetico really covers all bases when it comes to Windows data encryption. It utilises the TPM chip for maximum security and offers all the popular 256-bit algorithms like AES, Serpent and Twofish.
BestCrypt has an elegant user interface, letting you see all your mounted, partition and disk encryption statuses from one screen, and it even supports systems going as far back as Windows XP Service Pack 3 (not that you should really still be using it).
You can encrypt all manner of volume types including RAID, can control everything from a single sign-in password (with two-factor authentication), and also enable pre-boot authentication. This is a powerful package for those willing to pay the $120 overhead.
4. Sophos Safeguard
One of the most noteworthy features about Sophos Safeguard is the fact that it not only has its proprietary encryption methods but can also host Bitlocker and File Vault (Mac's encryption tool) within its own interface.
It uses HTTPS to allow outside users to connect to your servers. The SafeGuard Key Ring allows those with access to the server to see what files they can open, and you can also set up group keys to specify certain groups of people to have access to certain documents. Stringent threat detection means that all encryption keys are removed from a key ring until the threat is dealt with.
The login interface as your PC boots isn't the most elegant, and if you're not running it on an SSDm you may find it somewhat slow. Beyond that, this is a very powerful option that covers your entire hard drive and its partitions.
SafeGuard prices start at $106 for a three-year subscription.
See? There's much more to the world of encryption that Bitlocker and the above options prove. Whether you're willing to lay down the money for a powerful enterprise solution or are looking for something free and open source, the above list should have you covered.

Q: Explain ggplot2 warning: "Removed k rows containing missing values" I get this warning when I am trying to generate a plot with ggplot.
After researching online for a while many suggested that my database contains either null values or missing data in general, which was not the case.
In this question the accepted answer says the following:

The warning means that some elements are removed because they fall out of the specified range

I was wondering what exactly does this range refer to and how can someone manually increase this range in order to avoid all warnings?

A: Just for the shake of completing the answer given by eipi10.
I was facing the same problem, without using scale_y_continuous nor coord_cartesian.
The conflict was coming from the x axis, where I defined limits = c(1, 30). It seems such limits do not provide enough space if you want to "dodge" your bars, so R still throws the error

Removed 8 rows containing missing values (geom_bar)

Adjusting the limits of the x axis to limits = c(0, 31) solved the problem.
In conclusion, even if you are not putting limits to your y axis, check out your x axis' behavior to ensure you have enough space

A: The behavior you're seeing is due to how ggplot2 deals with data that are outside the axis ranges of the plot. scale_y_continuous (or, equivalently, ylim) excludes values outside the plot area when calculating statistics, summaries, or regression lines. coord_cartesian includes all values in these calculations, regardless of whether they are visible in the plot area. Here are some examples:
library(ggplot2)

# Set one point to a large hp value
d = mtcars
d$hp[d$hp==max(d$hp)] = 1000

All points are visible in this plot:
ggplot(d, aes(mpg, hp)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_smooth(method="lm") +
  labs(title="All points are visible; no warnings")
#> `geom_smooth()` using formula 'y ~ x'

In the plot below, one point with hp = 1000 is outside the y-axis range of the plot. Because we used scale_y_continuous to set the y-axis range, this point is not included in any other statistics or summary measures calculated by ggplot, such as the linear regression line calculated by geom_smooth. ggplot also provides warnings about the excluded point.
ggplot(d, aes(mpg, hp)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,300)) +  # Change this to limits=c(0,1000) and the warning disappears
  geom_smooth(method="lm") +
  labs(title="scale_y_continuous: excluded point is not used for regression line")
#> `geom_smooth()` using formula 'y ~ x'
#> Warning: Removed 1 rows containing non-finite values (stat_smooth).
#> Warning: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

In the plot below, the point with hp = 1000 is still outside the y-axis range of the plot. However, because we used coord_cartesian, this point is nevertheless included in any statistics or summary measures that ggplot calculates, such as the linear regression line.
If you compare this and the previous plot, you can see that the linear regression line in the second plot has a much steeper slope and wider confidence bands, because the point with hp=1000 is included when calculating the regression line, even though it's not visible in the plot.
ggplot(d, aes(mpg, hp)) +
  geom_point() +
  coord_cartesian(ylim=c(0,300)) +
  geom_smooth(method="lm") +
  labs(title="coord_cartesian: excluded point is still used for regression line")
#> `geom_smooth()` using formula 'y ~ x'

A: Even if your data falls within your specified limits (e.g. c(0, 335)), adding a geom_jitter() statement could push some points outside those limits, producing the same error message.
library(ggplot2)

range(mtcars$hp)
#> [1]  52 335

# No jitter -- no error message
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, hp)) +
    geom_point() +
    scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,335))

# Jitter is too large -- this generates the error message
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, hp)) +
    geom_point() +
    geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(w = 0.2, h = 0.2)) +
    scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,335))
#> Warning: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

Created on 2020-08-24 by the reprex package (v0.3.0)

A: I know this question already has an answer, but this is another possible solution for you. As you don't provide a sample code, I couldn't know for sure.
If you just want to get rid of it, that implies to me that you are OK with the output. Then you can try the following:

*

*Add na.rm=TRUE to geom_something like : geom_line(..., na.rm=TRUE )
This explicitly tells geom_line (and geom_path) that is OK to remove NA values.
Analyzing the warning message:

Warning of: Removed k rows containing missing values (geom_path)

This tells you mainly 3 things:

*

*geom_path is being called by another geom_something which is firing the warning.

*It already removed k rows. So if the output is as desired, then you want those rows removed.

*The reason for removal is that some values ARE missing (NA).

What the warning doesn't tells you is WHY those rows have missing (NA) values, that only you may know.
An usual reason comes from setting limits to the scale. Like scale_x_datetime or scale_y_continuous.
This makes sense as (X,Y) pairs, to be drawn, requires not to be NA.
When you set the X scale to larger values where there is no Y, OR your Y data is NA. You get (X,Y) points where one of both is NA.
You may want to set a larger scale for a different number of reasons, but ggplot will always find that there isn't an associated Y value, and it makes sense to fire a warning instead of an error.
Have a nice day.

A: I ran into this as well, but in the case where I wanted to avoid the extra error messages while keeping the range provided. An option is also to subset the data prior to setting the range, so that the range can be kept however you like without triggering warnings.
library(ggplot2)

range(mtcars$hp)
#> [1]  52 335

# Setting limits with scale_y_continous (or ylim) and subsetting accordingly
## avoid warning messages about removing data
ggplot(data= subset(mtcars, hp<=300 & hp >= 100), aes(mpg, hp)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_y_continuous(limits=c(100,300))

A: Another reason for that, is existence of NA's. Suppose your array name is arr. You can simply check if you have any NA's in your array by:
any(is.na(arr))

If the answer was TRUE, then you have to delete NA's as below:
arr = arr[-which(is.na(arr)]

Even without any(is.na(arr)), you can simply run the above command and R will remove any NA's that might have existed.

A: Another important variation on this for Histograms developed in 2019.
The computation was updated and includes something - excuse me for maybe oversimplifying -
like creating bins according to the limit=() specification on your binning axis,
and if this is wider than your data,

*

*it creates bars with 0 frequency

*it creates this same warning for those bars

– a completely different problem than clipping your data but with the same message.
The ggplot developers suggested in github handling this a few different ways,
https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/3265
https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/4083
1a. If using limit=() inside an axis declaration, set your limit=() precisely to the range of your bars, even if your axis breaks are wider
or 1b. Add option oob = scales::keep_oob to the offending axis declaration
or 2. If using xlim or ylim, wrap it in coord_cartesian()
