Les métiers de l'accueil sont les professions chargées de l'accueil, exerçant dans toutes organisations susceptibles de recevoir des visiteurs, des clients, des usagers et du trafic téléphonique.

Enjeux
L'accueil est primordial car il reflète avant toutes choses l'image de l'entreprise. Pour les clients, la propension de l'hôte(sse) à se révéler cordial(e), mais également efficace, est indispensable. Voici quelques qualités recommandées pour exercer cette fonction : la parfaite connaissance des informations, l'amabilité, une bonne diction, mais aussi une certaine aisance pour les relations humaines et l'envie de rendre service.

Secteurs
La fonction d'accueil concerne trois univers distincts :
 L'accueil physique en entreprise ;
 L'accueil évènementiel ;
 L'accueil téléphonique.

Accueil physique en entreprise

Le métier consiste à représenter physiquement une organisation et à informer et orienter les clients ou les visiteurs, de manière permanente ou dans le cadre d'évènements donnés. L'organisation employant l'hôtesse peut être une entreprise, une association, l'administration publique

Profession ayant un statut à part, les hôtes ou hôtesses de caisse, plus couramment appelées caissiers ou caissières, sont chargés, dans un magasin ou établissement de spectacle, de recevoir les clients qui viennent payer leurs achats.

Accueil évènementiel

Les équipes vouées à l'évènementiel interviennent de manière ponctuelle ou pour des missions telles que les soirées, salons et assemblées générales. Le rôle des hôte(sse)s est multiple ; accueillir les visiteurs, leur délivrer les badges d'accès et enfin les orienter font partie de leurs principales missions. Afin d'assurer une parfaite qualité de service lors de ces évènements, les hôte(sse)s doivent impérativement maîtriser plusieurs langues, et tout particulièrement l'anglais.

Dans les salons et foires, des agents, ou hôte(sse)s d'accueil distribuent des prospectus et renseignent les visiteurs sur les produits, en redirigeant éventuellement les clients vers les vendeuses et vendeurs.

Accueil téléphonique

On parle d'hôte(sse) téléphonique pour une personne qui répond plus particulièrement au téléphone : cette fonction peut se confondre avec celle de standardiste. Tout comme l'accueil physique, l'appel téléphonique doit respecter certains codes primordiaux. L'individu en poste se doit d'être poli, attentif et de se tenir informé de toutes les actualités concernant la société, qui pourraient lui être nécessaires.

Formation

En France il existe en 2021 un baccalauréat professionnel « Métiers de l'accueil ». La durée de formation est de 3 ans après la 3e, et permet d'obtenir un diplôme national ou diplôme d'État.

La profession d'hôte ou hôtesse de caisse est accessible avec un diplôme dans les secteurs de la vente et de la distribution, ou bien une expérience professionnelle dans ces secteurs, sans diplôme particulier.

Legislation

Les métiers de l'accueil sont régis par la Convention collective  (prestataires de services dans le domaine du secteur tertiaire) et par le code du travail.

Décret du  :
 L'avènement des consoles téléphoniques des opératrices et opérateurs sur informatique oblige à prévoir une pause technique toutes les deux heures pour les hôte-sse-s d'accueil exerçant sur des plateformes de centre d'appels téléphoniques.
 Si la durée du travail est supérieure à 6h consécutives par jour, les directives du ministère du travail prévoient qu'une pause d'au moins 20 minutes soit organisée (les pauses repas dites "postées" étant interdites sur le poste de travail).
 L'obligation de reprise du personnel dans le cadre de la succession d'un contrat de sous-traitance ne s'applique pas au personnel prestataire d'accueil : pour éventuellement continuer la prestation avec le repreneur, l'hôtesse devra d'abord démissionner, pour être ré-embauchée. Il y aura perte de ses droits liés à son ancienneté, et une nouvelle phase de 2 mois de période d'essais (durant laquelle le nouvel employeur pourra mettre fin à son initiative, au nouveau contrat de travail de l'hôtesse). Dans cette hypothèse, l'hôtesse ne serait ainsi plus éligible aux allocations chômage de Pôle Emploi, vu que sa dernière action professionnelle aura été de démissionner 2 mois plus tôt.
 Norme AFNOR NFX 50_575 "prestataires d'accueil" publié au JO du  dont les règles de certification ont été établies en .
 Norme AFNOR X50-880. Accompagnement global à la gestion de la petite entreprise ().

Statut social

Depuis les années 1970, le métier est structuré autour d'agences spécialisées dans le recrutement et la mise à disposition de ce type de personnel. Les hôtes et hôtesses s'intègrent dans la stratégie de communication de l'organisation, leur rôle ou leur tenue pouvant varier en fonction de la politique de leur employeur ou de la nature de l'évènement. Dans les organisations de taille importante, elles portent un uniforme au nom et aux couleurs de l'entreprise.

Les hôtes ou hôtesses d'accueil représentent en 2019, environ treize mille salariées en France, placées en entreprise; sans compter les milliers d'autres dépêchées lors d'événements ponctuels. Ces personnes sont habituellement rémunérées au SMIC horaire.

Ces métiers sont le résultat d'une tendance des entreprises à externaliser cette fonction. Le secteur est aujourd'hui omniprésent dans l'économie française.

La dévalorisation des hôtesses tient à leur statut. Elles ne sont pas recrutées par les sociétés qui recourent à leur services, mais par des intermédiaires, en contrat à durée déterminée (CDD) pour l'évènementiel ou en contrat à durée indéterminée (CDI), généralement à temps partiel, pour les postes en entreprise. Elles ne bénéficient pas de certains droits, comme le comité d'entreprise ou la cantine de l'entreprise utilisatrice. Leur situation s'apparente à une externalisation à demeure. Cette forme de sous-traitance permet de sortir une partie de la main-d'œuvre de la masse salariale dans le bilan comptable (et donc d'afficher de meilleures performances vis-à-vis des actionnaires), ou d'éviter certains seuils d'effectifs internes, à partir desquels la loi impose des institutions représentatives du personnel.

En outre, en cas d'absence, le prestataire s'engage à trouver une remplaçante dans un délai de moins de deux heures. Cette grande flexibilité maintient la pression sur le personnel, qui sait qu'il peut être facilement sanctionné, ou réaffecté à volonté sur de longues distances, quasiment du jour au lendemain. Comme d'autres salariées embauchés en sous-traitance, les hôtesses sont rattachées à une convention collective moins avantageuse : le travail du dimanche et la plupart des jours fériés ne donnent par exemple pas lieu à une majoration du salaire.

Dans le secteur de l'accueil téléphonique, malgré la performance des employés dans ce domaine, certaines sociétés ont parfois recours à des systèmes de répondeurs vocaux automatiques à choix multiples.

Cliché « sexiste »
Les sociétés prestataires veillent à la posture des hôtesses, au ton de leur voix, contrôlent la hauteur de leurs talons au centimètre près, la teinte de leur rouge à lèvres, le degré de transparence de leurs collants, la manière dont elles attachent leurs cheveux, etc.
Dans les salons automobiles, de bricolage ou de jeu vidéo, certaines hôtesses portent parfois des tenues ou des déguisements sexy et sont surnommées  (ou simplement ). Bien que cette pratique tende à disparaître, elle continue à exister dans certains domaines comme l'électronique ou les jeux vidéo. Cette forme de présentation a été largement dénoncée, du fait de l'image sexiste de la femme qui serait ainsi véhiculée, mais aussi en raison du caractère inutile de ces hôtesses, qui n'ont généralement guère de connaissances sur le produit. Elles ont été interdites dans plusieurs salons, notamment dans le jeu vidéo à la Penny Arcade Expo ou l'Eurogamer Expo.

La sociologue Isabel Boni-Le Goff observe que dans certaines professions  les salariées doivent réaliser , ce qui peut notamment se traduire par le port imposé des talons. , ajoute-t-elle. En France, le code du travail ne contient aucun article interdisant à un employeur d'obliger une salariée à porter des talons.

Meek Mill Posts Bail For 20 Women At Philadelphia's Riverside Correctional Facility
By Marianne Garvey December 26, 2022 No Comments3 Mins Read
Rapper Meek Mill paid 20 women's Bail so they could spend Christmas at home, according to the REFORM Alliance, a group he and Jay-Z founded in 2019. According to a REFORM Alliance Instagram post, the women were detained at Philadelphia's Riverside Correctional Facility because they couldn't afford Bail.
According to the NGO, 15 more women will be released in the upcoming week after five ladies were released on Saturday. A gift card "to buy groceries or gifts for the holidays" will also be given to each woman.
Meek Mill claimed that his own experiences with the criminal justice system served as inspiration for his contribution. In another Instagram post from the REFORM Alliance, the rapper stated, "I understand what these ladies and their families are going through. Being away from my son during the holidays was horrible while I was incarcerated."
Meek Mill continued that the holidays can be challenging for families affected by the criminal justice system. "If we can do something about it, nobody should have to spend the holidays in jail just because they can't afford Bail, and no child should be without their parents during this time. I appreciate the chance to enable these women to spend this particular time of year with their families and loved ones.

The REFORM Alliance was established in 2019 by Meek Mill and a group of prominent business and sports figures. According to its website, the organization "aims to revolutionize probation and parole by transforming laws, institutions, and culture to establish true pathways to employment and wellbeing."
The native of Philadelphia has been a vociferous supporter of criminal justice reforms. After he was given a two- to a four-year prison term in 2017 for violating his parole, an explosive social media movement known as #FreeMeekMill began. After serving five months in jail for the offense, he was released.
According to information provided by the city of Philadelphia, there were 4,546 individuals jailed in prisons throughout Philadelphia as of November 2022. Women make up about 6.4% of that group.

Twenty-two MEPs from across political groups have expressed serious concerns over the fact that Pilatus Bank continues to operate in the EU.
The letter to European Banking Authority Chairperson Andrea Enria was co-signed by MEPs from various parties, including EPP, S&D, ECR, ALDE, GUE and the Greens-EFA.
"There is a growing body of leaked evidence from Maltese authorities and first-hand testimony that place Pilatus Bank at the centre of illicit financial flows from Malta's citizenship-by-investment scheme, the sale of state assets, and unexplained inflows from high-risk jurisdictions like Azerbaijan to Maltese politically exposed figures".
This comes after the European Banking Authority launched "preliminary enquiries" into Pilatus Bank and will among others look into whether its licence should be revoked and examine whether the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) is able to do its job properly free from conflicts of interest.
The MEPs pointed to the fact that Pilatus Bank is a fully-licensed eurozone bank, which now operates a branch in London in addition to its headquarters in Malta and that any proceeds of criminal activity laundered through it contaminate European financial and real estate markets and can have a potentially harmful effect on regulatory and political institutions at both a national and a European level.
In the absence of effective regulatory scrutiny at the national level, the MEPs said Pilatus Bank has been free to pursue investigative journalists and whistleblowers with the full force of the law.
"The bank's impact on press freedom in Malta has been significant: all independent news outlets in Malta, including the assassinated journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia who was one of its most strident public critics, received threats of vexatious and potentially crippling lawsuits in the US and UK from the bank's lawyers.
They added that the conduct of the Maltese authorities in licensing the bank and allowing its continued operation, despite mounting public evidence of serious anti-money laundering violations, cannot be viewed in isolation, but should be viewed in the context of the bank's close political links to the current national administration.
Considering that Pilatus Bank has succeeded to an unprecedented degree in curtailing negative press coverage of its operations, in light of the compelling evidence of regulatory capture in this case, and in view of the clear implications for Europe as a whole of the bank's continued operation without adequate scrutiny, it is of crucial importance that the European Banking Authority's inquiry into the bank is in-depth, effective, and independent of Malta's national authorities".
The MEPs asked to be kept informed of any developments in the inquiry.
The inquiry by the European Banking Authority was launched following a formal request by the European Commission's DG Justice.
Spanish Liberal MEP Maite Pagazaurtundúa and MEP David Casa, who led the effort on this letter, said: "We are confident that the very serious revelations concerning Pilatus Bank will be thoroughly investigated by the European Banking Authority and that the EU's financial system will be protected from the laundering of the proceeds of criminal activity".
Casa had sent the FIAU reports to the European Commission in November last year. The European Central Bank is also investigating Pilatus Bank and is currently assessing whether the situation justifies its direct intervention following a request made by David Casa last December.


Chicago rapper Chief Keef was arrested Saturday in Miami Beach and charged with DUI, according to a police report.
Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, 21, had "bloodshot, watery, droopy eyes" and "had a cup filled with a syrupy liquid known as sizzurp, which is also known as 'lean' or 'purple drank,' " an officer wrote in a report.
Sizzurp is a mixture of codeine-based prescription cough syrup and soda.
According to the report, officers saw Cortez McElrath jump out of the passenger side of a green two-door McLaren — driven by Cozart — while it was stopped at a red light.
McElrath then ran to an Altima behind them and handed the front passenger, Eddie Bryant, "a bag with a green leafy substance," according to the report.
Meanwhile, another officer held Cozart at Taser-point because he "was moving his hands around in the vehicle," the officer wrote.
Cozart was charged with DUI after he "he did not perform to standard" on his sobriety test, an officer wrote. The officer said that Cozart then stated: "It's OK, when you find weed in my urine, I'll just get my attorney to get my marijuana card."
The officer added that Cozart spontaneously stated, "You'll find weed in me."

Secondhand smoke / passive smoking
Secondhand smoke (SHS) causes death and disease among non-smokers. In 2008, the Nigerian Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, passed a comprehensive smoke-free law. This study assessed the baseline prevalence of SHS exposure in the home and at public areas among secondary school students in Abuja, Nigeria during 2008.
The 2008 Global Youth Tobacco Survey was analysed for 1399 students in Abuja. Prevalence of support for smoke-free laws in public places as well as of exposure to SHS in the home and at non-home areas (including public spaces) was calculated overall, as well as by population subgroups. Chi-squared test was used to assess statistical significance of within-group differences. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess significant correlates of SHS exposure and support for smoke-free laws. All analyses were 2-tailed and the level of significance was set at p<0.05.
Overall prevalence of SHS exposure in the home was 24.1 % (95%CI: 21.1-27.1) while the prevalence of SHS exposure in non-home areas, including public spaces was 43.0% (95%CI: 36.6-49.4). The odds of exposure to SHS were significantly higher among current smokers as well as students that had ≥1 close friend that smoked. Overall, 55.3% of students supported smoke-free policies in public places.
This study showed that a substantial proportion of adolescents in Abuja were exposed to SHS in public places in 2008. Monitoring and evaluation of existing smoke-free policies will provide evidence base for strengthening existing measures or introducing new evidence-based interventions to help reduce youth SHS exposure.

Q: Terraform Custom Provider - Data Source Schema I am working on creating a custom terraform provider by using terraform sdk. I am trying to read data from the existing API GET call. I am finding it difficult to map the JSON response from an API to terraform schema. This is my data source schema:
func dataSourceProjects() *schema.Resource {
  return &schema.Resource{
    ReadContext: dataSourceProjectsRead,
    Schema: map[string]*schema.Schema{
      "members": &schema.Schema{
        Type:     schema.TypeList,
        Elem:     &schema.Schema{Type: schema.TypeString},
        Computed: true,
      },
      "owners": &schema.Schema{
        Type:     schema.TypeList,
        Elem:     &schema.Schema{Type: schema.TypeString},
        Computed: true,
      },
    },
  }
}

This is the API JSON response:
{
  "members": [
    "test12",
    "test8800",
    "test0032",
    "test1234"
  ],
  "owners": [
    "test000",
    "test111",
    "test12",
    "test1234"
  ]
}

This is my Data source read function
func dataSourceProjectsRead(ctx context.Context, d *schema.ResourceData, m interface{}) diag.Diagnostics {

  client := &http.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}

  // Warning or errors can be collected in a slice type
  var diags diag.Diagnostics

  req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", fmt.Sprintf("%s/test/team", "https://myurl/v1"), nil)
  req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer xxxxx")
  if err != nil {
    return diag.FromErr(err)
  }

  r, err := client.Do(req)
  if err != nil {
    return diag.FromErr(err)
  }
  defer r.Body.Close()
  members := make([]string, 0)
  err = json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&members)
  if err != nil {
    return diag.FromErr(err)
  }

  if err := d.Set("members", members); err != nil {
    return diag.FromErr(err)
  }

  // always run
  d.SetId(strconv.FormatInt(time.Now().Unix(), 10))

  return diags

A: Just as Matt and the error code mentioned, you're trying to unmarshal your body to an improper struct.
Basically, you don't have an array in the Body, you have an object with fields that have an array of strings.
Your way of unmarshalling would work for bodies like
["test12", "test23", "test34"]

Try to decode it as below, so use a struct with explicit mapping.
package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
)

type Schema struct {
    Members []string `json:"members"`
    Owners  []string `json:"owners"`
}

var jsonBody = `{
  "members": [
    "test12",
    "test8800",
    "test0032",
    "test1234"
  ],

3 Ways Popovich Beat the Heat
Scott Stern
With the NBA season set to officially kick off tonight, it seems like a good time to look back on the last meaningful set of basketball games: the 2014 NBA Finals. After four months of time, the emotions of that one-sided series have dissipated, and we can begin to analyze exactly how the Heat succumbed so easily to the older and less flashy San Antonio Spurs. With each team coming off a tough 6 game series, Vegas had the odds roughly even. But upon a closer look, what we discover is that Popovich's management of his players and their fatigue, both throughout the season and each game, gave the Spurs a clear advantage and enabled his team to handily outperform the best player in the world.
June 5th. Game 1 of the Finals, now infamously known as Cramp-gate, was a clear example of exactly how heat and exhaustion can alter the outcome of games down the stretch. Compared to the later games, the first game was a hotly contested battle up until the final few minutes (no pun intended). LeBron James was on pace to lead the game in minutes played by a wide margin, and was the only active Heat player with a +/– that was not negative. But, in one of the more bizarre developments in NBA Playoff history, the air conditioning at the AT&T Center stopped working. Temperatures began to climb. "It got to a couple different guys, cramps started setting in, but I thought Pop continued to switch guys in and out and keep us as fresh as possible," said Spurs C Tim Duncan. On the other side, with stadium temperatures still climbing to near 90°F, LeBron stayed in. The minutes clocked began to take their toll. After playing only five minutes in the fourth quarter, LeBron was carried off the court while in agony over debilitating cramps. Ironic that in this case, the heat beat the Heat.
Leg cramps are often the direct result dehydration and muscle fatigue. Simply put, LeBron's desire for victory outpaced his body's ability to deal with these conditions. LeBron even admitted that despite his hydration efforts, "I lost all the fluids that I was putting in the last couple of days out there on the floor." That no other player reached this point is a direct result of LeBron's intensity of play and the amount of time he spent on the floor. It also speaks volumes as to the ability of even the most finely tuned human body to thermoregulate itself in heat and humidity. Despite his elite training team's best efforts and access to plenty of liquid replenishment, LeBron could not rehydrate fast enough to keep playing.
LeBron's tenacity enabled Popovich to attack the Heat's weakness (depth) by exhausting their biggest advantage (LeBron). This brilliant game plan can be seen in three ways:
Long-term health management.
It is widely known that the Spurs for the 2013-2014 season were the first team ever to not have a single player average over 30 minutes per game. In comparison, the Big Three all averaged over 30 minutes per game. An even more telling statistic, however, is total minutes played during the 2013-2014 season. Both teams sat their ailing starters throughout the season (Wade played in only 54 games total), but whereas the Spurs had a deep roster to pick up the slack, the Heat had to make up for Wade's loss by playing James and Bosh even more. Compared to Duncan (the Spur with the most total minutes), James and Bosh clocked in 750 and 400 more minutes of playing time respectively. Let that sink for a second: that translates to 20 extra full games for James and 12 for Bosh! In a season only 80 games in length, this is a massive difference. Tack on the previous three seasons of NBA Finals and the Olympics, and the exhaustion component becomes undeniable. The Spurs were better managed throughout the year to compete down the stretch.
Deep and dynamic bench.
Throughout the 2014 NBA Finals, the Spurs depth enabled them to field eight different players that averaged over 20 minutes per game, compared to the Heat's six. Additionally, the Spurs had five players that averaged double digit points, compared to three for the Heat; and, of those five, two (Mills and Ginobili) weren't even starters! Popovich also showed the depth of his team by favoring the fresher Diaw even though Splitter saw a greater deal of work throughout the season.
Attacking his opponent's weak point.
Knowing that he had an advantage because of deeper bench and the long-term health of his team, the game plan was straightforward: wear down the Heat, in particular their top players. The air conditioning failure only accelerated this effort. The rest of the series, the Spurs furiously whipped the ball around the court with their efficient passing game, exhausting the frantic defense of the Heat. And, without any depth to replace their exhausted starters, the Heat indeed withered. Others have written about the beauty of the Spurs passing attack throughout the series, but the oft-overlooked piece was its effect on the Heat offense. Studies have shown that with dehydration and exhaustion comes decreased focus and precision, critical components to offensive efficiency. The Heat just could not score. James ended the series averaging 28.2 points and 4 assists, but Wade and Bosh averaged only 15.2/2.6 and 14/1 points/assists respectively while no other Heat player averaged double digit points. In the 2013 Finals, which the Heat won, the Heat had five total players in double digits, and the Big Three combined for 6 more assists per game than in 2014.
Good luck getting Pop to admit it, but it seems he may know something we don't. Maybe a balanced and cohesive team of well-rested players is the NBA's new secret sauce. The creation of Miami's Big Three ushered in an era where teams focused on a small core of superstars rather than on depth at all five positions and into the bench. This approach clearly worked in the past for the Heat, bringing them to four NBA finals in as many years, but as science and statistics increasingly reveal the debilitating effects of dehydration and fatigue, don't be surprised to see the balanced and fresh Spurs right there again, defying conventional commentary about age and whipping the ball past exhausted "superstars."
The next time you hear about the Spurs giving players a game off during the regular season, remember that fighting fatigue requires a multipronged approach, combatting it in both the short run and the long run. In future posts, we'll explore how this practice is increasingly becoming the norm in other sports, and how new technologies (including Qore Performance) are enabling athletes to better understand and break through their previous limitations.

The Nubia Red Magic Mars smartphone, force to be reckoned with
Tyler Lee	Jan 7th, 2019
There is some debate as to whether or not gaming smartphones are necessary or just a novelty. After all, the majority of flagship smartphones are already very powerful devices, and save for some differences in cooling systems used, what really separates a gaming smartphone from a flagship?
Nubia is certainly hoping that they have the answer as the company has announced their own take on a gaming handset in the form of the Red Magic Mars. Inspired by Mars, the god of war, the handset will come with features such as "Red Magic Game Space" which will help improve performance during gaming by minimizing background apps, and also by adding 4D sound and vibration effects.
There are also built-in touch-sensitive shoulder buttons that will add extra controls without users having to purchase extra controllers from third-party accessory makers. These controls are also customizable and users can configure them to their own needs depending on the game that they are playing.
As for the other specs of the Nubia Red Magic Mars, we're looking at the use of 2018's Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The phone will also be available in two configurations: a 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, and a 10GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. There will also be a 6.2-inch FHD+ display and a 3,800mah battery.
The phone is expected to be released in North America and Europe on the 31st of January, 2019 where it will be priced starting at $399. While the styling of the phone may not be for everyone, the device does offer incredible value, making it a better buy than the OnePlus 6T and on the same level as the Pocophone F1.

Broady into Washington second round
Ros SatarTennis
Naomi Broady beat World 76 Jarmila Gajdosova 3-6 7-5 7-6(6)
Only Brit left after Heather Watson was bundled out in the first round
Next up is top seed Ekaterina Makarova
Win for Jocelyn Rae & Anna Smith in the doubles
Naomi Broady kept the flag flying in Washington when she continued her good run from qualifying to beat Jarmila Gajdosova in three sets.
At first it looked to be going all the Australian's way as she broke the Brit twice in the first set to take the first set but Broady started the second set brightly with two break points on the Aussie's serve in the first game, although she was unable to consolidate.
The pair were more evenly matched in the second set, before Broady took her chance, breaking at the end of the set and holding confidently to love to level the match.
From there, neither would give an inch, both comfortably holding their service games until Broady threatened once more, forcing Gajdosova to save a couple more break points before pushing the decider to a tie-break.
That was a tense affair with Broady striking first, before the World No. 76 hit back to bring up the first match point. Broady saved it, and got another mini-break to bring up a match point of her own, and she only needed the one.
Broady thanked fans at home and in Washington for their support after the match:

Next up for Broady will be top seed Ekaterina Makarova, ranked 200 places above her. The Russian, who made the Australian Open semi-finals at the start of the year had a brief and short-lived run out on the grass and is playing in her first tournament since exiting in the second round of Wimbledon.
The Russian has made the semi-finals in Washington twice in a row, and started with a straight sets win over Alison Van Uytvanck (7-5 7-5). It actually had proved to be a topsy-turvy affair with the pair trading breaks in the first set before a more competitive and evenly matched set.
There was a win also for Jocelyn Rae and Anna Smith in the doubles, as theySuvvess for defeated wildcards Louisa Chirico (who beat Heather Watson on Monday) and Alize Lim 6-0 6-2.

A Final Christmas Wish, Fulfilled
Written by barbara@dreamfoundation.org on December 10, 2015 . Posted in In The Media
A joyous, memorable Christmas surrounded by the people she loves. That's what Gina Jones wanted when she contacted the Dream Foundation in November, 2015.
Weeks later, a knock on the door brought Gina and her grandchildren presents, decorations, and food galore, not to mention a merry band of elves.
While the Dream Foundation has made over 23,000 dreams come true, and never turned down a qualified request, their swift response was still a shock to Gina. "My initial call to Gina was emotional," recalls Katarina Robledo, the dream coordinator who managed Gina's case. "She was absolutely overjoyed with us wanting to grant a dream for her, she couldn't believe that her application had been accepted.
"She said she finally felt like someone was on her side and she had God watching out for her and her family."
Gina, 50, suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, a condition which affects over 24 million people in the United States alone. It is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and women are disproportionately affected. Most cases are caused by smoking, but genetics, air pollution, and infections can also play a role in causing COPD.
Gina was diagnosed in 2014 and is currently at stage 4, the most severe grade for COPD. Most people with stage 4 COPD suffer with extreme shortness of breath and are often unable to even leave the house.
For what will likely be her last Christmas, Gina wanted to give her grandchildren — Christina and Matthew, both of whom she adopted — a truly memorable day, filled with presents and holiday cheer. She also needed some help paying off some expenses, including loans, household bills, and a Rent-A-Center bill.
Dream coordinator Maeve Harding was among the five person team who brought Gina's dream to life. "This was an emergency dream, so we had to try to get everything turned around pretty quickly," she says. Trekking an hour in a van stocked with donated presents, as well as decorations and food, they arrived at Gina's home in Santa Maria, California dressed as some of Santa's elves. (Read more…)

There's evidence out there that a common method of delivering a baby is linked to childhood obesity. To learn more, researchers at Purdue University needed to study a population that has modern healthcare but hasn't been influenced by other factors of modern living that can contribute to obesity. They found one (Sound effect: village sfx) an indigenous group of Maya people in a remote Yucatec Village in Mexico. People not influenced by fast food, a sedentary lifestyle, or high-fat, high-sugar diets.
The team followed 57 Maya mothers and the hundred-and-eight children born to them between 2007 and 2014. The first 5 years of growth were tracked monthly. Although none of the children would be considered obese by age 5, there were notable differences in their sizes suggesting birth method could play a role in how kids develop.
Turned out children born by cesarean had a higher body mass index. And higher still if their mom's had a high body mass index, too.
One theory is that babies born naturally are exposed to "good" bacteria from the mother during birth (Sound effect: baby cries) something cesarean-delivered babies miss out on. Those bacteria go on to play important roles in the development of immune function and metabolism.
More research is needed, but it does seem there's a link between method of birth and childhood girth.

Maine's next governor gets opportunity to reshape state regulatory commission
Flickr; germanborrillo
Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Chair Tom Welch will retire two years early at the end of 2014, according to the Bangor Daily News.
With Welch's departure and the expiration of Commissioner David Littell's term in March, whoever is elected Governor in November will have the opportunity to pick two of the three PUC members and have a profound influence Maine's upcoming regulatory proceedings.
The PUC regulates water, telephone, electricity and natural gas rates. Two key cases that may not be completed before Welch and Littell leave involve a needed upgrade to Maine's electricity grid and an expansion of the state's natural gas pipeline to overcome last winter's supply shortages.
The next Governor will have uncommon influence over regulatory proceedings that impact the state's energy supply.
Maine's gubernatorial race between incumbent Republican Paul LePage, Democratic Congressman Mike Michaud, and Independent Eliot Cutler is polling within the margin of error, adding further uncertainty to how Maine's energy future and other regulatory issues will be resolved.
The next governor will first have to appoint a replacement for Chair Welch, whose current chairmanship began in 2011 but who also served as Chair from 1993 to 2005. And in March, the next governor must decide whether to re-appoint or replace Commissioner Littell.
If this winter is as cold as the last, price spikes in response to natural gas pipeline limitations may draw the ire of Maine's consumers. To meet the requirements of an energy bill passed by Maine's legislature in 2013, the PUC is considering a charge on electricity customers' bills to cover a $1.5 billion, 20-year expansion of the state's natural gas capacity.

Q: Sorting an ofile in lexicographical order I made a function that takes the words that contain a string 's' from a file 'ifile' moves them into 'ofile'.
It works perfectly. I just need helping sorting the words that are now in ofile in lexicographical order.
Here's my code:
def getListContain(s,ifile,file):

 newline= ''
 for word in ifile:
     if word.find(s) != -1:
        ofile.write(newline + word.strip())
        newline = '\n'

A: To sort a list of strings in lexicographical order you simply do:
listOfStrings.sort()

So in your case it would be:
def getListContain(s,ifile,file):
    listOfStrings = []
    for word in ifile:
        if word.find(s) != -1:
            listOfStrings.append(word.strip()+'\n')
    listOfStrings.sort()
    for item in listOfStrings:
        ofile.write(item)          #Based on your code, i'm assuming that 'ofile' is defined outside the function.

A: 1- Append your words to a list.
2- Sort the list.
3- Write the list to the file.
 word_list = []
 for word in ifile:
     if word.find(s) != -1:
        word_list.append(word.strip())
 word_list = sorted(word_list)
 ofile.write("\n".join(word_list))


Ukrainian Army Lost Over 100 Soldiers in Donbass in Recent Days – Report 4.5 out of 5 based on 16 ratings. 16 user reviews.
At least 24 soldiers of the Ukrainian Army lost their lives, while 79 others were wounded in the Donbass in the past week.
Over the past week, 24 soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were killed in the Donbass, while 79 others were wounded, Deputy Commander of the Operational Command of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Eduard Basurin, said. According to Basurin, these losses became the results both of non-battle circumstances and attacks on DPR positions.
"According to our data, the total loss figure is 24 killed servicemen and 79 wounded," the Deputy Commander noted.
He also added that the Ukrainian military leadership hides all these cases and losses from the public as before.
At the same time, according to Basurin, four DPR fighters were killed, and two others were wounded in shelling, conducted by the Ukrainian Army in the past week.
"For the week, the losses among DPR military personnel during the defense of the republic were four dead and two wounded," the Donetsk news agency quoted his words.
Earlier, it was reported that since the past evening, detachments of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have fired more than 300 mines and shells on the DPR territories. As a result, distribution pipelines near Yasinovataya and in Kiev district of Donetsk were damaged.
The numbers may be inflated, but the ratio looks correct.
Not sure about the "non battle casualties". Did their trucks roll over into a ditch on the way to the front?
Good, more dogs to the slaughter. The more, the merrier..

MANCHESTER UNITED players and staff were taken by bus directly to their plane at Bournemouth Airport to avoid livid supporters, it has emerged.
United lost to the Cherries 2-1 last weekend and an angry mob of fans were ready to confront Louis van Gaal's men on the south coast, according to The Mirror.
The Red Devils squad were able to avoid them though as they were driven directly to their plane for the journey back to Manchester.
Patience is running out at Old Trafford after United went out in the Champions League group stage after £250m of investment since Van Gaal took over.
The style of play has also been a bone of contention as the Red Devils have scored just 10 times in their last 12 matches.
United face struggling Norwich this Saturday at Old Trafford and anything but a victory against the Canaries could cause widespread mutiny from supporters.
Van Gaal's men are just six points off the top of the Premier League but there have been calls for the Dutchman to be sacked in recent weeks.
Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola have both been linked with taking over should United choose to make a change.


Melissa's workshops have been super helpful in my professional development! I had the opportunity to speak at a conference recently so I "channeled" all that I learned from Melissa's speaker training about storytelling and audience takeaways. That helped me so much in preparing and I received excellent feedback from conference attendees and organizers.

             (wrap-reload app {:dirs ["src" "resources"]})
             ))

How can this be accomplished?
I'm used to developing in node and you have tools like browser sync, weinre and supervisor. What are the equivalents in clojure?

A: I suggest you have a look at figwheel, which lets you do hot reloading of your ClojureScript and CSS in the browser.
There is of course not one good way of setting up your build, but my way to go for languages like SASS etc. is to watch and compile them as a separate process, and have Figwheel watch the generated CSS.
For example, on one of my ClojureScript projects, I had a script file for LESS compilation which used the LESS compiler and the wr utility directly:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
lessc src/styles/main.main.less resources/public/css/main.css --source-map && cp src/styles/*.less resources/public/css
wr "lessc src/styles/main.main.less resources/public/css/main.css --source-map && cp src/styles/*.less resources/public/css" src/**/*.less

Of course you can also use things like Gulp, Webpack - or any tool you're used to.
The alternative is to use Leiningen plugins, see the list here.

Q: Python and Julia computes functions in different way? Python 3 computation for
N=123456789
sum(map(int,str(N))            ---> 45

Julia 0.6.2 computation for
N = 123456789
sum([Int(ch) for ch in "$N"])  ---> 477

N = 123456789
sum(map(Int, collect("$N")))  --->  477

Why is this?

A: Because the python equivalent to your Julia-Statement would be
N=123456789
print( sum(map(ord,str(N))))

Output:
477

It is summing up the ascii-ord-value of '1'+'2'+...'9' - not converting each char of the string into an int and then summing up the ints.
This is not the same:
N=123456789
sum(map(int,str(N))

it converts the long int into a string, feeds each charachter into int() which converts '1' back to 1 (not to ord('1')) and then adds the numbers to 45


This fresh bluegill recipe is wonderful. You may substitute any panfish fillets that you like. Panfish are non-saltwater fish: bluegill, perch, crappies, pumpkin seeds; rock, white or yellow bass.
Saute onion, mushroom and spinach in a small amount of butter. Add fish fillets and wine. Simmer until liquid is reduced in half. Add white cream sauce and seasoning.
Mix dry ingredients together. Add eggs and melted butter. Add milk and water and stir until smooth. Pour some batter into hot oiled skillet (like making pancakes) and tilt skillet to thin out the batter. After two minutes or so, flip and cook on the other side. Stuff crepes with filling. Use some of the sauce to top crepe and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.


So…why is the excitement around Tobii Dynavox Snap™ + Core First® building?
One theory is that there's no time like the present to engage, learn and grow. We built Snap + Core First around the pillars of engagement, literacy and growth to make successful everyday interaction possible for those who use communication devices and their communication partners. And now, just a little more than six months since we launched this symbol-based communication app, scores of people in the augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) world are giving it a whirl and liking it—a lot. Some, we're proud to say, have even started calling themselves Snappers.
But we digress. Getting back to those pillars, well, they're the reason powerful communication happens in the moment and evolves into something that lasts. Snap + Core First gives users a firm hold on the pillars while climbing toward communication success. And the best part: Individuals can start where they are then branch out at their own pace.
The best time to help your favorite Snap + Core First users begin their climb is now. Every season presents exciting new opportunities for interaction. Here's how to make the most of them with each pillar as a guide.
Snap + Core First sure puts you into gear for communication fast with close to zero prep time, thanks to its highly organized and eclectic language content that you easily make your own with the app's on-the-spot editing capabilities. Navigation is super intuitive. The simple press of one button gets you where you need to be to start a conversation, answer a question or even change the subject. Using preset messages on the Calendar Talk topic page, for example, you can ask which holiday or whose birthday comes next, and "How many more days?" You can say "This is my favorite season" then go on to talk upcoming events (or even why some people don't like parties) using content from the "Celebrations" topic page and related word lists. All can be accessed within seconds, making it easy to stay engaged.
From day one, literacy development is a work in progress and Snap + Core First equips you for the journey. Its proven core word strategy for language learning stays front and center, so words we use all the time are—you guessed it—the press of a button away. You can go beyond the core in a matter of moments and weave more elements of language into your interactions. Find a topic such as "Seasons," "Winter," "Reading," or "Song¸ Rhyme and Fairy Tales" (a related word list under the "Entertainment" topic) and you're on your way to full-fledged relevant conversations about actual stories, songs and all that keeps literacy fresh year round.
Snap + Core First's seamless integration with the Boardmaker Student Center means you can practice skills using fun activities during holiday break—or anytime, really. You can use the app with the Accessible Literacy Learning (ALL™) reading program, and our Core First Learning books and lessons. The beauty of these resources, and the app itself, is that all can be adapted to an individual's changing needs and abilities.
As Snap + Core First brings engagement and literacy full circle, you can rest assured that users will be able to handle the load—and grow—without compromise. They can move incrementally from three to 80 buttons on a page and all their content stays in the same place as the grid size increases, eliminating motor learning issues. All the while, they have easy access to word prediction, keyboards, quickfires (familiar phrases "No way!") and, of course, optimal communication—the finest gift Snap + Core First offers and why it's one of the best AAC apps around.

Teenager charged with murder of boy, 18, found dead in woods
Zoe DrewettMonday 6 May 2019 7:51 am
A 17-year-old will appear in court accused with the murder of Alex Davies, 18 (Picture: Mercury)
A teenager will appear in court charged with the murder of a young man whose body was found in woods a day after he was reported missing.
Alex Davies, 18, was discovered in a wooded area off Parbold Hill in Parbold, Lancashire, at around 5.25pm on Wednesday.
A subsequent post-mortem examination confirmed the cause of death as stab wounds and asphyxiation, police said.
His body was discovered by a dog walker, with police saying he had 'numerous and significant injuries'.
On Sunday, Lancashire Police said a 17-year-old from Chorley had been charged with his murder.
Alex Davies was found with 'numerous and significant injuries' in Parbold Hill, Lanbcashire (Picture: LancsPolice)
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Preston Magistrates' Court, sitting at Preston Crown Court, on Monday.
Alex, from Skelmersdale, West Lancashire, was last seen near to a railway bridge in Parbold at about 2pm on April 29 and reported missing the following day.
A formal identification of his body is yet to take place, but police said his family had been informed and were being supported by officers.
DCI Geoff Hurst, of Lancashire police's major investigation team, said: 'My thoughts and the thoughts of every member of the team that have worked on this inquiry are with Alex's family and friends at this exceptionally tragic and difficult time.
'I am aware of the huge impact this crime has had on the community of Parbold, but I am heartened at the way that same community has pulled together and been so respectful to Alex, his family and to my officers who have been out trying to find the evidence that we need.

Detectives said a 17-year-old boy was charged with murder on Sunday night (Picture: Mercury)
'While a youth has been charged, our inquiries will still continue in the Parbold and Chorley areas and I would urge you to continue supporting the investigating officers.'
Friends said Davies, who worked at Home Bargains and was a rail enthusiast, was a 'kind friend'.
Ian Hardman told the Liverpool Echo: 'The occasions I met up with Alex would be generally through the coincidence of wanting to go and see a particular special train, be it steam or diesel or something a little unusual.'
Police are appealing for anyone with dashboard camera footage from the Parbold Hill area taken between 1pm and 5.30pm on Monday 29 April – particularly if it shows cyclists on mountain bikes – to come forward.

Holding a handstand on the beam is a necessary skill in USAG levels 4 & 5, most XCEL levels (if you have a handstand in your routine), and any USAG optional level if you compete a routine with a handstand. Start with step 1 to learn how to learn a handstand on the beam whether you're a self taught gymnast, or on a competitive gymnastics team.
Learn a handstand on the floor. To get strong enough to do this, do a minute long plank on the wall to build stomach muscle. You have a better chance of learning a handstand on the floor if your body is strong enough to support it's weight in a handstand. Before moving to the next step, make sure you can get all the way up in your handstand. Have someone take a video of you doing a handstand so you can know if it's all the way up.
When asked, "Are different skills required to do a handstand on beam?"
Rosalind Lutsky, former gymnastics coach, responded: "A handstand on beam is similar to a handstand on the floor, but your hand positioning will look a little different (you can overlap your hands a little or fit them both on the beam), and when you step out, you need to be sure to come down in a straight line."
Hold your handstand on the floor. To learn this, hold a handstand for a minute against the wall. Your hands should be about 10 inches from the wall, and your stomach should face the wall. After you can do this, try holding your handstand on the floor. Aim to hold it for one second. Your handstand is a lot easier to hold on the floor after you can do it against the wall. Don't move on until you can hold your handstand for one second.
Continue practicing. Practice your handstand until you can hold it for two seconds. You should also learn a half pirouette to learn control. To do a half pirouette, when you're in your handstand, flip one hand so that your fingertips are facing the opposite way that they usually do, and after you do that, pick up the other hand and move it to the opposite side that it was on before. Now you should be facing the other direction in your handstand. Don't move on until you can hold your handstand for two seconds, and do the half pirouette.
Hold it even longer. To do this, first go up into a handstand with your hands about six inches away from the wall, with your back facing the wall this time. Kick up into your handstand and don't let your feet touch the wall for a time period of three seconds. Then take the wall away and hold it for three seconds on your own. Don't move on until you can hold your handstand for three seconds, with and without the wall there.
Hold it longer, still. Now you need to hold it for four seconds. This shouldn't be that much harder than three seconds. The reason you need to hold it this long on the floor is that it's harder to hold on the beam, so you need to be really good at holding them on the floor to be able to hold them on the beam. Don't move on until you can hold a handstand for four seconds.
Try your handstand on the beam. It doesn't matter how it looks; you just need to overcome your fear of doing a handstand on the beam. To help you be good at this, do your handstand with your stomach facing the wall on the beam and hold it for one minute. Try to get most of the way up. Don't move on until you can get most of the way up on your beam handstand.
"If you start to fall forwards, you can twist your body and land on your feet on the ground, rather than trying to roll on the beam."
Make your beam handstand look better. To do this, now you'll do a handstand with your back facing the wall on the beam, and hold it for one minute. This will help you with your form. With better form, you'll be closer to a vertical handstand on the beam. Don't move on until you can do a handstand with good form on the beam (it doesn't have to be all the way up).
Practice falling. If you're going to start holding your handstand on the beam, you need a way to get out of it if you start falling. What you want to do is, turn one of your hands to look like you're in the middle of a cartwheel, then fall to your feet. You need to be able to hold your handstand for one second at this point. Don't move on until you can cleanly do the handstand to side handstand falling drill and hold your handstand for one second on the beam.
Use mats to make your falls as safe as possible. Rosalind Lutsky, former gymnastics coach, adds: "It can really help to practice on a low beam first, then move to a high beam with mats underneath."
Hold your beam handstand longer. To help you make this easier, first you want to learn a tuck handstand on the beam. Just do a regular handstand and then bend your legs. This will help you with making your handstand straighter. Now you'll want to be able to hold your handstand for two seconds. Don't move on until you can do a tuck handstand on the beam and can hold your beam handstand for two seconds.
Learn even more handstand control on the beam. Practice straddling your legs in your handstand on the beam. Don't worry, you're strong enough now that you won't split the beam. If you fall, just come down like you would if you fell out of a regular handstand. Also learn how to hold your beam handstand for three seconds now. Don't move on until you can do a straddle handstand on the beam, and can hold your beam handstand for three seconds.
Getting more flexible. As you get better, you'll need more flexibility in your legs. Learn your splits, and a split handstand where your legs are as far apart as they can be on the beam. Don't move on until you can do both of these.
Get even more flexible. Being flexible in the back also helps you with controlling your handstand. Learn how to to get your knees to your head when you arch your back.
Then try a Mexican handstand on the beam. A Mexican handstand is where you separate your legs (but still keep them straight), and you arch you back as far as you can. Don't move on until you can do this.
Making it perfect. Focus on your form when you do your handstand. Learn how to hold it for as long as you like without coming down. Learn this on the floor before the beam.
I have a lot of struggle on my handstand on beam. What I should I do?
Try practicing on a lower beam. You can also ask someone to hold your legs once you're standing on your hands, gradually letting go until you are stable.
I need help balancing with an L-handstand. I always drift to one side and fall off. Any tips?
Personally, when doing tricks on beam, I hold my ear. It might sound weird, but it helps! In your case, (doing a handstand), when you are upside down, focus on one bit of the room, like a certain spot on the wall. This helps you stay balanced.
What are good exercises to do to develop shoulder muscles?
Push up are the best. There are many others, but I most recommend push ups. You can find more on YouTube.
How can I hold it for a long time?
Work on your shoulder muscles so you're strong enough to stay up for a long time. Work on your balance, too.
On beam, I am afraid to fall on my back. What do I do?
Lean your hands backward. it is less likely for you to fall that way.
If I can't get uppnto the beam, what I should I do?
You could always get a shorter one or ask a adult to help you up.
Do pushups daily and work towards sixty in a row. When you can do sixty push-ups in a row, you are amazingly strong, and you can do the prefect beam handstand.
After mastering the regular version, learn your one handed handstand on the floor. After you learn this, you can do you one arm handstand on the beam. Don't move on until you have learned your one arm handstand on the beam.
Don't try things if you feel like you're not ready. You should start taking gymnastics and ask your coach if you're ready if you feel uncomfortable doing any of these steps.


Hands down, the best meal we had was after our Road to Hana roadtrip in Maui. Somehow, although during the first half of our trip it seemed like there were thousands of cars with us, on the way back, we were the only car on the road. We were nervous this would mean the food stalls where we aimed to eat dinner would be closed. Of course, we had also forgotten to eat lunch that day so we were extra ravenous. But we rolled up to the stalls and there were still diners eating fish and chips at a food truck called Island Chef. We were too hungry for tough decisions so we ordered fish and chips as well. The chef in the van held up a huge tuna and said, "how about *this* fish?" and I knew we had made the right choice. The fish was caught by a local boy earlier that day and was freaking amazing once fried and served with some equally amazing fries.
Speaking of tuna, I'm pretty sure I got mercury poisoning while I was away because I ate tuna at least once a day. Our first taste of the Hawaiian classic dish Poke was at Happy Hour with Meg and Kevin, two of my friends from Hoboken who happened to be in Kauai on our first full day. We went to an old plantation near our hotels called Gaylord's for yummy cocktails and $5 appetizers. Poke is raw tuna and typically avocado served with chips (which was very similar to the tuna tartare I had at Ainsworth Park recently). After our first taste of Hawaii's raw tuna, we couldn't get enough. We had it in wraps and tacos at Mermaid Cafe, tuna two ways at the Beach House, and in a wrap that multiple friends told us they dream about to this day at Kilauea Fish Market. I think my favorite was that first taste of it at Gaylord's, although they were super stingy with the chips.
Shaved Ice is a sweet staple on the islands of Hawaii. It's often compared to the snowcone, but is far from it in texture. We ate shaved ice a few times on our trip, but the first was at Jo Jo's in Kauai. For some reason, the line was ridiculously long when we got in and I apologized to Katie several times for making her wait in it, but it was worth it. There were about 60 flavor options but my guidebook suggested "rainbow" for the first time. They usually put a scoop or two of macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom, but had run out so we had some vanilla ice cream on the bottom of ours. It was sweet, refreshing, and lasted the whole car ride back to the hotel and some time sitting by the pool as well. What's pictured above is a small - the large is double the size and probably would have lasted until bedtime.
On our first morning, my pancakes were served with coconut syrup and I became obsessed. The waitress suggested I put it in my coffee as well and my life was changed. I had to ask Katie to force me to get something else for breakfast after my first three mornings because I knew I needed some variety, but then I ordered coconut pancakes still another time. But as good as the coconut pancakes and coffee were, I'd say my *favorite* coconut meal was the above shrimp at a Shrimp Station in Kauai.
Malasadas are fried dough balls from Portugal that you can find all over Hawaii. Pictured above are some we devoured at Star Noodle in Maui, after one of our only non-seafood meals of the trip. We drizzled them in chocolate, peanuts, and butterscotch and were glad we didn't have to share with more than just each other.
It was recommended by a friend of mine that we stop for banana bread before making the long trek along the Road to Hana. At a surfing beach, Ho'Okipa, right before the road trip traditionally begins, I spied a bakery truck with a banana bread sign out front and got excited, thinking that this had to be *the* banana bread we *had* to buy. It was absolutely delicious and made it with us to several more beaches. But, along the way, we also saw several other options for banana bread so it's quite possible that there were even better banana breads out there.
Lahaina Grill was our biggest splurge of the trip one night in Maui. We had basically been eating at food stalls and trucks but decided to wear dresses and skip our daily Seth Rogan movie one night. I had reservations about if I'd be able to eat enough of a $50 meal to make it worth it, since we weren't able to do anything with leftovers. I went with the $24 Bufala Tomato Salad instead, mostly because buffalo mozzarella is to die for and there was truffle oil involved. The waitress said it was her "favorite salad on the menu...no, the world" so I expected a lot. And a lot I got. I certainly don't eat enough salads to have a favorite salad in the world, but this one could easily take the cake if I had one.

Bihar: Home to numerous unexplored gems
While stereotypes of states and cities are often attributed to India's cultural diversity, for the longest time many of us have been unkind with our perception of Bihar.
SNS | New Delhi | December 30, 2021 7:49 pm
gaya-bihar (photo: stock)
Granted, most of it comes from a place of ignorance and poor taste owing to the state's politicized history. However, we have come at the cost of ignoring the beauty and the spectacle it beholds.
Bihar has remained an underrated tourist destination in India. Ironically, Bihar was once the seat of one of the most prosperous ancient Indian kingdoms and today it suffers listlessness when it comes to heritage tourism in India. We agree we may have a good amount of foreign tourists swarming Bihar but said unsaid they have all restricted themselves to fewer destinations in this historically affluent state.
If we see, the history of Bihar is believed to have roots back in the breaking dawn of civilizations in India and then the state prospered as the seat of majestic empires like Magadh. It is also the state that gave two important religions – Buddhism and Jainism to the world.
Bihar in years developed into a rich historic site with diverse culture and traditions. Today, what we witness is the flavorsome extracts of the legacy of different empires. And if we make ourselves a little more adjustable and open to traveling, we may be able to explore an important gem from the Indian treasure chest.
Here is Bihar from the eye of an avid traveler and for the sake of convenience the list has been split into three sections so that you do not leave any stone unturned. Without any further ado, let us begin our journey into the historic land of Bihar:
Among the most famous places in Bihar is Gaya, which is a Hindu pilgrimage hub and a transit point for the Buddhist pilgrimage center of Bodhgaya. It is believed that it was here under the tree that Buddha attained enlightenment. Gaya is a busy city situated on the bank of River Phalgu and it is replete with many temples and historic sites dating back to different eras that stand as the evidence of the successful rule of the Maurya and the Gupta dynasty here. The glory of Gaya was extended so much so that even Hiuen Tsang could not resist mentioning it in his travelogues.
Probably the oldest university in India, Nalanda is an important site to visit in Bihar. A perfect reminisce to the time of flourishing Gupta and Pala period, Nalanda is an acclaimed tourist attraction in Bihar. It is believed that the last and most famous Jain Tirthankara, Mahavira spent 14 monsoon seasons here. Even, Buddha is said to have delivered lectures near the mango grove in Nalanda. The fame of this education center was to an extent that Hieun Tsang, the famous Chinese traveler visited here and stayed for at least two years here. Even, I-tsing another famous Chinese voyager stayed at Nalanda for about 10 years, AND such was the glory of this place. Today most parts of Nalanda lie in ruins but the place is surely worth exploring!
Dubbed as the seat of Bihar School of Yoga, Munger is yet another place that is popular among tourists in Bihar. The history of Munger dates back to Aryans, who called Munger the 'Midland' for their settlement. For yoga buffs, Munger is not an unknown name, thus we can expect a large foreign crowd thronging this place. The present-day Munger is a twin city, which comprises Munger and Jamalpur. Reckoned to be one of the oldest cities of Bihar, Munger was once the capital of Mir Kasim before it fell into the hands of the British. The place has several historic relics that further add to the charm here.
Griddhakuta Peak, Rajgir
Also known as Vulture Peak, Griddhakuta Peak is situated in Rajgir, Bihar. This peak is the most famous place to visit in Rajgir and it sits at an elevation of 400m. It is called a Vulture Peak due to its shape and frequent visit vultures. The place holds an important position in history as it is reckoned to be the spot where Lord Buddha preached the Lotus Sutra to convert Mauryan King Bimbisara. It is also believed that Buddha started the second wheel of law and delivered several sermons here. The peak has a Peace Pagoda said to have been built by Buddhists of Japan. There are a couple of caves here as well that further enhance the thrill of reaching here by a chairlift.
Kanwar Lake Bird Sanctuary, Begusarai
Kanwar Lake is India's largest freshwater Oxbow lake. Situated in Begusarai, Kanwar Lake Bird Sanctuary is reckoned to be the haven for 60 species of migratory birds. Unfortunately, this place is losing its importance due to negligence, in a Wetland Governance in South Asia, held in Delhi in 2014, the condition of this wetland ecosystem was discussed. We hope that some careful steps are taken for this bird sanctuary that has been home to many birds both domestic and migratory.

Introduction: Although abortion care has been an established routine since decades in India, 8% of maternal mortality is attributed to unsafe abortion. Increased knowledge and improved attitudes among health care providers have a potential to reduce barriers to safe abortion care by reducing stigma and reluctance to provide abortion. Previous research has shown that medical students' attitudes can predict whether they will perform abortions. The objective of our study was to explore attitudes toward abortion among medical interns in Maharastra, India.
Study Design: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 1996 medical interns in Maharastra, India. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to interpret the study instrument.
Results: Almost one quarter of the respondents considered abortion to be morally wrong, one fifth did not find abortions for unmarried women acceptable and one quarter falsely believed that a woman needs her partner or spouse's approval to have an abortion. Most participants agreed that unsafe abortion is a serious health problem in India. A majority of the respondents rated their knowledge of sexual and reproductive health as good, but only 13% had any clinical practice in abortion care services.
Conclusion: Disallowing attitudes toward abortion and misconceptions about the legal regulations were common among the surveyed medical students. Knowledge and attitudes toward abortion among future physicians could be improved by amendments to the medical education, potentially increasing the number of future providers delivering safe and legal abortion services.
