Spill's effects cause surge in mental health visits
In Featured News, Human Interest, Illnesses, Important Articles, Oil Spill Facts, Recovery, Spill Damages
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. – Her income down to virtually nothing because of the BP oil spill, Margaret Carruth put her face in her hands and wept recently at a town hall meeting before walking outside to what passes for home these days, her blue pickup truck.
Xanax helps her rest. Still, it's hard to relax when you've lost your house and are sleeping at friends' places or, sometimes, in the front seat.
The oil gusher is dead, but the mental trauma it caused along the Gulf of Mexico coast is still very much alive.
"I'm a strong person and always have been, but I'm almost to the breaking point," says Carruth, whose hairstyling business dried up after tourists stopped coming to the beach and locals cut back on nonessentials like haircuts. All but broke, Carruth packed her belongings into her truck and a storage shed and now depends on friends for shelter.
Carruth's anguish is part of a common but little talked about consequence of the summer of oil: People overcome by stress and worry, who are having a hard time navigating a world that seems so different from the one they knew before the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, sending waves of crude and tar balls toward the coast.
Surveys show that in some areas badly affected by the oil, more than 40 percent of those seeking mental-health help say they are having problems because of the spill.
The oil spill followed waves of hard luck for the region, including hurricanes and recession. Experts say it's impossible to determine how much of the current mental health downturn could have roots in other ordeals.
But a study conducted over the summer in 13 counties and parishes with a total population of 1.9 million found that 13 percent of coastal adults from Louisiana to Florida suffered probable serious mental illnesses after the spill, although it wasn't clear exactly how many problems were directly related to oil.
The level of mental illness was similar to that seen six months after Hurricane Katrina decimated the coast five years ago, and experts aren't yet seeing any improvement in mental health five months after the oil crisis began. Before Katrina, a study by the National Institute of Mental Health found only 6 percent of area residents with likely mental illnesses.
"From the types of patients we are seeing in our emergency departments, clinics and hospitals, the problems are persisting," said William Pinsky of the New Orleans-based Ochsner Health System, which conducted the random telephone survey of 406 people in four states.
Sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, anger, substance abuse and domestic violence are among the most common problems reported by mental health agencies.
BP has provided $52 million for mental health care in the Gulf region, with $15 million going to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals; $12 million each to the states of Alabama and Mississippi; $3 million to Florida; and $10 million to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Even though the oil stopped flowing in July and the BP well was finally killed this month, some officials say the toll on mental health may get worse as the financial strains of summer persist into the fall.
"It's like a virus that's spreading," said Tonya Fistein, one of four counselors hired by AltaPointe Health Systems specifically to help people deal emotionally with the spill in Bayou La Batre, a tiny Alabama fishing community hard hit by the disaster.
AltaPointe's clinic is seeing twice as many new patients as in 2009, an increase it blames on the spill. In Gulfport, Miss., 42 percent of the patients surveyed at the Gulf Coast Mental Health Center said they were sad or depressed because of the spill.
Steve Barrileaux, a psychologist at the Gulfport center, said some of the problems leading to mental health issues are obvious, like the loss of work by a person who rented chairs on the beach. Others are more subtle, however.
Many people are worried deeply about the environment, for instance, or lament the lost moments they would have spent fishing recreationally with loved ones. Others are still afraid to eat seafood, even on the coast where livelihoods depend on it.
"What's scary is the long-term damage that can be done, and we just don't know about that," Barrileaux said.
Kim Thai, a single mother of four who worked as a sorter on a shrimp boat before oil began pouring into the Gulf, now lives on BP claim money. She said she used to earn about $4,000 a month, but her BP claims payments have totaled only $10,000 for six months, or less than $1,700 monthly.
"I spend a lot of time thinking now when I can go to work, how I can hold this family together," said Thai, of Bayou La Batre. "I worry about my kids seeing me this way and them getting sad or it affecting their school work."
Chanthy Prak also frets constantly about how to make ends meet in the post-spill world.
Prak worked in crab houses around Bayou La Batre before the oil hit. She and her husband, another seafood worker displaced by the spill, have received only $5,000 in claims payments since May to support them and their seven children.
"I worry. There's money going out but no money coming in," said the Cambodia native.
In some areas, higher rates of mental problems appear to have little to do with the oil.
At Lakeview Center, which provides mental health services in Pensacola, Fla., calls have increased to a crisis intervention line compared to 2009, but relatively few people have mentioned the oil spill as the reason they need help, said spokeswoman Karen Smith. Psychologists believe the uptick is most likely linked to the recession, she said.
More oil came ashore just to the west of Pensacola in Baldwin County, Ala., however, and a survey conducted for the state by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found significant mental health problems that people blamed on the spill.
Twenty-three percent of households in the area reported having at least one person who blamed sleep troubles on the spill, and 11 percent had at least one person with appetite loss. Perhaps most tellingly, 32 percent reported a decrease in income linked to the oil spill, which could lead to additional strain, said Dr. Charles Woernle, the state epidemiologist with the Alabama Department of Public Health.
Officials along the Gulf coast worry that many of the hardest-hit groups — shrimpers, Asian seafood workers and low-wage tourism employees — won't seek help for mental problems because of cultural taboos.
At AltaPointe, officials hope to use a share of the BP money to pay for additional oil-spill counselors.
Tejuania Nelson, who runs a day-care center in fishing-dependent Grand Bay, Ala., said preschoolers whose parents were left jobless because of the spill are lashing out in unsettling ways.
"They're throwing desks, kicking chairs," she said. "It's sad. With this, people do not have hope. They cannot see a better time."

PINE64 > Pinebook > Android > Android Oreo?
Any chance of Oreo on the Pinebook?
Maybe. We will see. Currently, there's not a lot of interesting changes to actually port it.

perhaps for a couple of beers?
Android 7 is not working very well (open vpn problems) so please consider fixing vpn in version 8.

The stock Android 8 build targets to release on late March or April.
1. Any expected date for Oreo release ?
1. Still wait for Allwinner release Oreo SDK to create stock Android 8. Mostly likely happens on April instead of March. This is stock version that I quote.
2. Pinebook is Allwinner A64 SoC based, different than ROCK64 which is Rockchip RK3328 based.
Any word yet on a stock Android 8 Oreo release for A64 from Allwinner?

You wouldn't be wrong in calling this a tiny but mighty backpack. What the Burton Prospect Pack lacks in size it makes up for in big organization. It expands when you've got a larger load to carry or you can use the compression straps to tighten things up. Plus, a laptop sleeve 'cause #workhardplayhard.


Any chance you got more where that came from?
I've heard of Iced Earth too.
Y'all are talking obscure bands to me lol.
I'll admit I've never listened Iced Earth myself. But considering I barely like Demons And Wizards half as much as I like Blind Guardian, I feel like I'm not really missing anything.
This sounds like some sort of metal version of post-rock to me, like a faster If These Trees Could Talk.
The original song posted was okay. I enjoy symphonic metal, so I could feel where it was coming from.
I liked the Tyr song. I might have to check more of that out.
I cut my teeth on progressive rock. Yes was my favorite band all through high school, and I still listen to a lot of old prog rock, but I'm not as big on prog metal, although Epica has their moments (not a true prog metal band, I know), and I like some of the stuff that Spotify has thrown at me, like Mendel and Structural Disorder.
You know Dream Theater? Imo the best prog metal band out there.
I've heard Dream Theater. I think the issue is that I really like original progressive rock, and the metal expressions of it just don't work for me. I like symphonic and gothic metal, but I'm not much into metal beyond that, although I like Metallica and Iron Maiden and whatnot, of course. I prefer old progressive rock like ELP, King Crimson, and Yes to newer prog rock too, but I like both, the old and the new, like Porcupine Tree. I stumbled across a set of albums from a French trio called Delusion Squared that I really like too, but it looks to have been a one-time project to bring a particular concept to fruition, and I don't know that they will ever release anything else. Their albums were progressive with a metal edge, and the concept was one of a dysopian future of genetic manipulation and a female messiah who had the audacity to breed naturally rather than via a test tube.
My problem with most things labeled 'progressive' today is it just rubs me as pure tech worship. An obsessive commitment to playing the most difficult scales in the most difficult time signatures faster than anyone else, with little attention left for song writing and aesthetics. I find classic progressive rock significantly more appealing than today's prog metal, and I think that may be where the difference lies. It might not be a legitimate complaint, but it's how my ears interpret the stuff.
Honestly I like extremely little music from prior to the 80s. I think nostalgia and familiarity renders older music eternally popular, but bands continually build upon their predecessors and I really believe that most of the best music ever written came into being over the past 10-20 years. When we're talking prog rock though, give me ELP or Kansas over the modern equivalent any day.
As for Alcest sounding like post-rock, bingo.
What about Muse? Also definitely one I'd recommend. A bit more on the prog rock side than the prog metal side.
I don't know. I feel like the 70s had a lot of good music, with bands like Queen in their prime, and then it got worse in the 80s until in the late 80s and early 90s power metal and everything started, and from then on it's basically been upwards ever since.
It's more about the quantity of good music on the market, for me. I'm sure I can name a dozen artists I enjoy for any given five year span. I also probably possess more albums released in 2016 than between January 1st 1970 and December 31st 1979. The chances of really visionary artists emerging from the pile goes up substantially.
If I look at my last.fm top 100, only 8 artists on it released the bulk of their work before 1990, and one of those was from the mid-1800s.
Interesting label. It might fit. I think of them as part of that big chaotic mass of unrelated artists we like to call alt. rock.
I haven't heard their last four albums though, so I don't know how much they've changed.
I've never really put much thought into labeling artists beyond Metal, Country, Alternative (which consists most of the 90's), Punk, Rock, etc.
The main genres really, never took the time to branch them down to sub-genres.
I might have to start looking into this.
I know them as halfway through prog rock and prog metal. To be fair, I don't know them all that well, but my brother (who listens prog metal and power metal) loves it, and he recommended it to my father (who listens prog rock and classic rock) and he loves them as well. Only song of them that I know truly well is Knights of Cydonia, but there's a lot more stuff out there.
The music video for the song is actually super funny as well. It kinda skirts the PG-13 line though, so I'm gonna be safe and not post it here.
Shad, I am unfamiliar with black metal, so that might be why it only sounded like metal-tinged post-rock to me. That is some interesting stuff; I kinda like it.
I have not heard Muse until now, but I liked the Knights of Cydonia song that you posted, so I will check them out.
There was a lot of fantastic music in the 70's, and almost everything we listen to now has its roots there. The 80's saw something of a deconstruction of it with the various new wave movements, but a lot of that music is also interesting, and rap and metal came into their own, but overall, I think the 80's was the weakest of the last 4 or 5 decades for music. The 90's were great, and what I think was best about them was the blending of styles that continues today. Kids started listening to a broader variety of music instead of just listening to hip hop or just listening to metal or just listening to whatever, and instead, they started appreciating anything that sounded good to them, and the musicians responded by creating more of a collage of musical styles, so that bands like Linkin Park are not remarkable, yet in the 70's and 80's, no one was blending together rap, electronica, and rock that way. I am not much of a Linkin' Park fan, btw, they were just the first (and a good) example of a blended style that came to mind. What I hear on the radio today is not much better (just different) than what I heard on the radio over the last 40 years (I'm 53), but digging below the surface, I see more creativity than what has come before, but like Shad said, it is because of what has come before. It's the same reason that modern horror is better than Dracula or Frankenstein, and modern detective novels are better than Poe's early offerings.
I always hated Linkin Park, but I get what you're saying (and I think the overwhelming majority of what makes it onto the radio these days is garbage).
This Japanese trio might have the biggest cult following of any band that isn't a household name, and as far as I'm concerned they deserve it. :) Here's a 15 minute snip from the climax to their most famous work (the full song is over 70 minutes), though no one track is remotely representative of their overall sound. They've dabbled in just about every direction you can imagine, often pulling it off better than bands that have been playing it their whole careers, in my opinion.
*Bangs head and shakes fist* Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! That Falconer song rocked. I'll have to check them out.
I browsed through a few Boris songs, too. I really like Pink, for the way it backs off its intensity for a bit of singing, then returns again, lathers, rinses, repeats. That's a formula dating back to the 60's that has always worked with me, I'm not sure why. Thanks for turning me on to a few new bands!
This is the only Falconer song I know.
Falconer is one of those bands that were generic and boring for a really long time and then had some sort of epiphany and became awesome.
Oh yeah Ley, I was supposed to drop some bands that would appeal to a Turisas fan.
Listen to Sagas by Equilibrium. Don't bother with their other albums imo.
Eluveitie started to tank pretty quickly and then I stopped keeping up with them, but Spirit was a solid album.
I take it for granted you're familiar with Ensiferum.
Waylander might be a bit heavy for your taste, but I love 'em.
This is probably the most Russian song ever written.

Q: React Native - componentDidUpdate causing app to run slow I ran into this problem messing around with other components should as componentDidMount or ComponentWillMount. In order for this.state to update itself when it navigates into another screen, it needs componentDidUpdate for data fetching.
constructor(props)
{

  super(props);

  this.state = {
  isLoading: true,
  username: '',
  dataSource: ''
};
AsyncStorage.getItem("username").then((value) => {
  this.setState({"username": value})
});
}
saveData(value){
    AsyncStorage.setItem("username", value);
    this.setState({"username": value});
}
componentDidUpdate() {

      return fetch(`http://www.example.com/React/user-profile.php?username=${this.state.username}` , {
       method: 'POST',
       headers: {
         'Accept': 'application/json',
         'Content-Type': 'application/json',
       }

      })
        .then((response) => response.json())
        .then((responseJson) => {
          this.setState({
            isLoading: false,
            dataSource: responseJson,
            },function() {
              // In this block you can do something with new state.
            });
        })
        .catch((error) => {
          console.error(error);
        });
    }

When I use other components other than componentDidUpdate the screen does not display anything and the state does not change. Is there a component that can update like componentDidUpdate and not cause performance issues? Also to note, when I used componentDidMount the performance didn't drop, but the state did not change.
 render() {

    if (this.state.isLoading) {
      return (
        <View style={{flex: 1, paddingTop: 20}}>
          <ActivityIndicator />
        </View>
      );
    }

      return(

         <View style = { styles.MainContainer }>
         <ScrollView>

         <FlatList

           data={ this.state.images}

           ItemSeparatorComponent = {this.FlatListItemSeparator}

           renderItem={({item}) => <View>

           <RkCard style={{width:'75%', marginLeft: 50, marginBottom: 50, backgroundColor:'#f5f5f5'}}>
            <Lightbox>
             <FastImage rkCardImg source={{uri:`http://www.example.com/profiles/uploads/${item.images}`,
             headers:{ Authorization: 'someAuthToken' },
             priority: FastImage.priority.high,
              }}
               resizeMode={FastImage.resizeMode.contain}
               style={{width: '100%'}}/>
               </Lightbox>

             <View rkCardContent>
             <Makiko
                  label={'Comment'}
                  iconClass={FontAwesomeIcon}
                  iconName={'comment'}
                  iconColor={'white'}
                  inputStyle={{ color: '#db786d' }}
                />
             </View>
             <View rkCardFooter>

               <Text> {item.note}</Text>
             </View>
           </RkCard>

           </View>

         }

         keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}
         removeClippedSubviews

      />

         </ScrollView>
         </View>
       );
     }
   }

A: You are using componentDidUpdate() to do a network request and update the state, which is fine, but this re-triggers componentDidUpdate(). So it is being called over and over again. This is also addressed in the official documentation.
So you should use the arguments to check if you need the network request. For instance: you could do something like this:
componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {

    // check if dataSource state is still empty
    if (!prevState.dataSource) {

         // Your networking code
         return fetch(...)
             .then(...)
             .catch(...)
    }
}

Now the networking call is only executed when it needs to be, and componentDidUpdate() isn't called over and over again.
Note: if the dataSource state isn't necessary empty, then you can also compare the current state / props to the previous state / props in the if(...) statement.

A: You should never call this.setState(); inside componentWillUpdate,
Because once it updates the state, it will again call componentWillUpdate and so on... so it would be a never ending process, You can always use if else blocks to check whether to update or not, by checking the previous props as it gets called with componentWillUpdate gets called with ( prevProps, prevState )

The five most important people in travel
The five most important people in travel Tweet on Twitter Share on Facebook
By KARRYON
@karryontravel
Want to maximise passenger happiness? Tell them about the five most important people in travel.
Ooh, so who is it? Do we just focus on Australia? Is it the tourism minister? Is it the bureaucratic figurehead of the industry, Jayson Westbury? Is it Screw Turner? Alan Joyce?
This came up over Chinese with my business partners. In Pune, which is in India after about 30 hours of travel and adjustment and work catchup and I was, blerrgghh.
So we did discuss the figureheads of Australian travel, but to your passengers, who are the most five influential people on their holiday.
If you can get this information across to them, they are definitely going to have a better holiday, which makes you look better.
1. The first airline rep at the airport
Could be the person shepherding through lines, could be the first ticketing agent you come across.
A smile could see you shifted with kids to the business line.
They aren't going to pump you to business class, because it really doesn't happen.
But they have the power maybe for that little extra leg room, maybe a spare seat next to you for the 1 year old child you have.
Maybe its even an express queue voucher. Get it wrong?
OK, they weren't sumo's, or even Japanese, but my smart arse quip made for a shoulder to ear (they were tall) experience between two 130kg+ lads for six hours on a shit Indian plane.
2. Customs
There is not a lot of time people have a lot of nice things to say about customs officers. But let's look at it another way.
They sit there for five hours trying to read badly filled out, often incomplete forms, which they need to discuss with people in languages other than their own, hundreds of times.
Having everything ready, honest open face, straight through, get your bags and off you go.
Upset customs officials can have you standing there for two hours.
I haven't done this myself but have seen it nearly every time I travel. Yesterday it was the lady who suggested she didn't need to fill that form out.
3. Hotel reception
By time I arrived on Tuesday I was tired, operating on a different time zone, a bit smelly, too much caffeine and really not looking forward to the next six hours of exercise, stretching, preparation for business and then dinner.
The Frontdesk really do have an awful lot of information at their fingertips. They really do have the ability to hand out all sorts of pleasures, and upgrades are not uncommon for the smiling passengers.
Maybe it's a couple of drink vouchers. Maybe it's free Wi-Fi. Do you really think it comes out of their pocket? Think about it, they want to do it.
Get it wrong. "I can't believe people were still using the lift at 3 AM" or "there was a small nuclear explosion in my room as all of the electronics in everything are fried."
4. Bell boys, waiters and chefs
It could be Bell girls but you get the picture. Especially in places like India, they get paid absolute crap and more often than not treated like absolute crap as they try desperately to move up the ladder.
I am at this place for four days and will endeavor to learn the names of just a few of the staff as seriously, it just makes them so happy.
That alone is actually enough. However in the UK last year I really hit it off with a young bloke who was working hospitality and studying technology.
I gave him some tips, suggested some changes to his study. I easily scored $80 worth of free drinks over the next five days.
It was totally unexpected and very generous.
Get it wrong? All I'm not saying anyone is likely to have spat in my food but…
5. The Travel Agent
"If you get stuck we can unstick you! Through rain, hail or shine 24/7 it's good to know we are with you all the time."
"You can call us anytime and we will respond rather than remembering which website you booked on or waiting on hold for hours and having to press options before maybe getting put through to an overseas telemarketer!"
"I greet you with a smile, I listen to your travel needs and I will be there for you at 2am when you turn up to your accommodation and it is a garage shed door."
Agree with the list? Who do you see as the important people in travel?

Migrante-Jeddah chapter, a local chapter of Migrante-Saudi Arabia in the Western region of Saudi Arabia, today said an international cargo forwarding company has offered its free-service by providing free airfreight of all donated goods for typhoon victims from OFWs organizations.
"Brod, DHL has approved our request along with other OFWs organizations giving us free airfreight service for all the boxes of donated goods we have gathered for typhoon victims by having a special flight this coming Friday, 9 October," said Bobby Fajarito, Migrante-Jeddah chapter Chairperson sent via SMS to John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.
Fajarito said Migrante-Jeddah chapter and other OFWs organizations in an on-going relief drive are very thankful to DHL which upon series of negotiations has approved Migrante and other OFWs organizations' request giving them a free airfreight services for all the goods collected for typhoon victims.
"Migrante-Jeddah already delivered the 40 boxes of donated goods at DHL warehouse in Jeddah and were accepted by Mr. Jose Wilson Casquejo, DHL's Operations Supervisor in Western Region, and our fellow OFWs organizations will follow suit in sending their donations to DHL warehouse," Fajarito added.


This month of March has been an involuntary "holiday" for me and I had to say no to some 4 Days of meetings. I was hoarse and was coughing a lot and it took some time to heal! But I recorded 4 preachings for my home-page www.bengtpettersson.n.nu and they didn´t need to "cut" any time. I believe they will be a blessing for those that enter to watch!
This month I am celebrating 30 years in the south of Mexico. Before that I had been ministring in the north of Mexico and lived 3 months in California and 3 months in Tijuana, B.C. It was the 1st of April 1985 that I left for Mexico City and thereafter I went to the little town of Matias Romero in the State of Oaxaca. I was invited for a 4 Days Campaign and had bought a flightticket to return north after 10 days.
That Campaign was a blessed one and for an Evangelist from Sweden it was fantastic to see souls receive Jesus as their Savior! I decided to stay and I went out to different Campaigns. First I went together with a wel-known Evangelist, who interpreted me and sometimes I went alone. I "only" knew English, but little by little I learned Spanish.
At the beginning we had many Campaigns and they were held there in the south - almost always outdoors -. Also now I have Campaigns there but not that many. But on those Campaigns, Convensions, Rallies and Church-meetings I can see how people are getting saved and receive blessings from God!
Some people say that "you have spent almost whole of your life in Mexico. Now you can take it easy". My wish is to go on serving the Lord and win souls for Him! Next I shall preach here on the West Coast and thereafter I shall - God´s willing - visit Norway. Thank you for your prayers!

The best way to refer readers to other paper(s) for more details
Sometimes you need to refer readers to a reference for more details about a subject. I wonder what is the best way to accomplish this. Or if there is a specific way to do it for scientific papers that target journals in the field of computer science and engineering.
I use something similar to this "For more details about flying monkeys see [1,2,3].", but I feel there's something wrong about it (other than the flying monkeys).
writing writing-style
SariSari
"More details" as in "less terse treatment, in case the reader can't follow yours" or as in "more related material that might satisfy the reader's curiosity"? – darij grinberg Nov 2 '18 at 17:19
Also, I generally advise against chaining references like [1, 2, 3]. It makes it harder to see where a given paper is being cited: e.g., searching for "[2" in the PDF will not see its appearance in "[1, 2, 3]". – darij grinberg Nov 2 '18 at 17:21
I would try to work the references into your text and include why you're referring the reader to them. I might write something like:
Smith et al. [1] provides additional background on flying monkeys and their use in underwater basket making.
Several recent articles review flying monkey [1, 2, 3].
Recent tutorials and overviews of flying moneys exist for readers unfamiliar with the their background and use [1, 2, 3].
As a style note, I would not simply refer to the number inline (e.g. see [1, 2, 3])).
For more inspiration, I would skim and read recent articles in your target journals. I find reading to be a one method for improving my own writing style.
Here's an example from my own publication:
For readers who are unfamiliar with IPMs, recent overviews, introductions, and tutorials of integral projection models exist (e.g., Ellner and Rees, 2006, Ramula et al., 2009, Ellner et al., 2010, Merow et al., 2014).
Richard EricksonRichard Erickson
What I like to is to use [1,2] if I cite something and if I want the reader to check a article for more details I would write the name of the first author et al. [5].
So as example: For a more detailed analysis on the algorithm behind deep learning, I would recommend Smith et al. [x] detailed analysis on this topic...
Something like this.

Q: Data Frame Join Error I created 3 data frames and now I want to join them. However, I am running into this error:
NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD.mapPartitionsInternal$default$2()Z
Here is the code:

joinFinal.show()

A: the following snippet works without any issues. are you sure c1_df, ck_df and c2_df are valid dataframes? This could also potentially be a spark versioning setup issue. make sure you are using the right version of Spark and your SPARK_HOME variable is set accordingly.

Instagram has actually currently turned out to Windows PCs and laptops, yet unless you have a touchscreen you'll have trouble submitting pictures. Right here's Post Pictures to Instagram From Pc, and also how to upload pictures to Instagram on Windows 10.
Instagram has fast end up being the best site for sharing pictures online. Besides Facebook, that is. With over 400 million active monthly customers, and 75 million individuals browsing through each day, there are much more filter-enhanced productions than you could tremble a stick at. Instagram is a phone application, though and also can be a little difficult on a PC, despite having a main application now readily available. It's possible, though. Right here we show you how you can participate in the enjoyable through Windows instead of an iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S7.
Checking out the Instagram website and logging into your account (or producing one) provides you access to the internet version of the app. While you might expect this to allow you the very same capabilities as the mobile version, one essential function is missing - you can not publish any pictures.
When you're logged in, the primary web page will certainly show your photo feed equally as it would on the application itself. Along the top of the page you'll also see 3 symbols in the upper right corner. These are for Explore (discovering brand-new people to adhere to), Notifications (that liked your photos), and Profile (all the images you've uploaded). Using these you could still take pleasure in the different pictures that have been shared, yet there is no other way to modify or contribute to your collections.
You could additionally currently download a committed Instagram Windows application from the Windows Store, however you still will not have the ability to publish any photos without a touchscreen Windows laptop or tablet computer. Keep reading for a workaround.
There are a number of third party applications that extend Instagram's features on Windows. One that permits uploads is InstaPic, which can be downloaded and install from the Windows Store. To do this drop to the taskbar on your Windows desktop and also click on the shopping bag symbol that has the Windows logo design at the centre. When the Store opens you'll just need to click on the search bar in the top right corner and also enter InstaPic. Once you've got the application on the screen click the Free button to install it on your equipment, after that click Open.
When the application introduces you'll have to click the Register with Email button as well as create a brand-new account. With that said done you connect your Instagram account and after that you could publish images straight from the InstaPic application. We ran into several problems with other functions on the application, mostly not being able to see timelines due to the Find Pals on Instagram attribute confirming unresponsive, plus commonly a lack of alerts. With this in mind we assume It would certainly be best to treat InstaPic as a pure photo editor and uploader that works in tandem with the internet version of Instagram.
Along the top of the display you'll see the different icons for Search, Notifications/Likes, Profile, and also Instagram Direct. This last one enables you to send out pictures privately to specified customers. The one we wish to focus on though is the Shutter icon to the right of Instagram Direct. Clicking this opens up your PC camera.
From here you could click the blue circular button to take an image, or click the rectangular switch to the left which opens up Windows Explorer as well as lets you look for any photo you have on your device.
When you find the picture you intend to publish to Instagram double-click it to open the editing and enhancing Home window.
Currently you could undergo the regular processes of improving the picture. This includes cropping, applying filters, and also a number of the editing features you 'd anticipate on the mobile version of Instagram. We did locate that the choice of filters is fairly tiny, with a few of our favourites missing, however if you truly want to use your PC to post on the service then this is presently the most effective offering we can find.
Once you've finished retouching the image click the arrow in the upper right hand edge as well as you'll see the Share menu show up. Equally as you would on Instagram you could now compose a subtitle, tag any individuals in the image, as well as send to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or Flickr if you have actually connected those accounts.
When you're happy with everything click Share below the home window and your picture will join the masses on Instagram and hopefully obtain a few sorts.


The z-index property, despite all that's written about it, is still widely misunderstood and mishandled. Stacking issues in a complex single-page web application can become a major pain. Adhering to some principles, however, we can easily avoid these issues.


As stated in my last post my mini "flu" sickness pushed our camping trek back a day. Cusco is a city surrounded by mountains, valleys, and many options for trekking. I wanted to grab a tent, sleeping bag, stove, and head out on my own sans guide. When asking around about options our lovely hostel friend recommended the Lares trek. A three day trek full of beautiful snow-capped peaks, clear blue lakes, and luscious green valleys; sounded great to me. I found a crap map for cheap in the plaza and we chose our route. The night before our plans to leave my not so lovely flu-like symptoms took over my body. Ryan ran around collecting our tent, sleeping bags, pads, and a cooking stove while I climbed into bed with every piece of clothing I owned. The next morning feeling better we started packing for the trek. By 11am we realized it was too late to start, we were not ready, and my stress levels were too high. Alright "let's get prepared today, and take off early tomorrow." Chatting with Freddy, our local guide he recommended doing the same trek backwards in two days. More hours of walking during the day, but doable. Great, trek back on.
Not too long after our start, I realized this was not going to be easy. We arrived in the valley and we were welcomed by a herd of sheep. We walked along Rio Lares passing one family villages and farms trying to remain on the path and not on someone's driveway. At one point we were trudging through squishy grass and mud and we could not see a direct path. After climbing over a local's rock wall and being confronted by a large pig, we noticed we were walking through someone's farm and quickly headed back to what looked like the trail. The little girl below came out to stare us down as the sheep "bahhed" us through their land.
The next five hours were the most challenging of my life. We ascended and ascended and ascended. I slowly heaved my way up as Ryan walked a good 15 meters ahead of me. We'd get close to the top of a mountain thinking the descent was near and bam another peak to climb. We passed a few beautiful lakes and climbed higher and higher in to the clouds. Every step my pack felt heavier. Ryan carried the tent, his mattress pad, and the cooking stove. I carried the sleeping bags, my mattress pad, most of the food, and a full 2.5liter camelbak. The picture below is the start of the worst of it. The next photo is my "the struggle is real" shot.
Ryan continued to say, "just a bit further" in his chipper Northern English accent and I prayed for a scream of happiness each time he summited another peak. Needless to say I never heard it. Peak after peak, I decided we were never going to descend. Whilst in the clouds around 5,000 meters I wanted to give up. I wanted to cry. I wanted my Mom. I wanted to turn around and head back to the start. Ryan was barely 10 meters ahead of me and I could not see him. All around me clouds. The path turned into loose rocks and eventually we lost the it completely. As Ryan almost walked off a cliff I spun around praying to Pachamama (Mother Earth) to lead us out of this mess. Either thunder or the wind clapped around us and our hearts started racing. Good god we would not survive up here and we would have no chance of setting up a tent in this loose gravel. In the distance I noticed a narrow line heading the other direction and thanked Pachamama when we realized it was our trail. 20 minutes later we arrived at a sign that read "Cancha Cancha 4kms" and an arrow pointing left. Our fear was gone, we would survive and our ascent finally turned in to a descent.
Once we were below the clouds we found ourselves in absolute beauty and it was an incredible feeling.
Surprisingly the tent went up quickly and we had rice cooking on the stove in minutes. The tent kept us warm from the cold mountain air night and after demolishing a pot of veggies and rice we passed out around 7pm. I woke up two hours later to the sound of rain. I sat up praying the tent had no leaks and our things were dry. With the exception of natural dew, everything stayed somewhat dry as it continued to rain till 6am. Ryan slept a straight 12 hours as I woke up every few checking on the tent and stuffing more rice down my throat. Around 7am we awoke to the rushing river and thankfully not a drop of rain. We climbed out of our sleeping bags and unzipped the tent to this view.
I jumped out of the tent and spun around to take it all in. As many of you know, traveling makes me the happiest of the happiest and sometimes it makes me so happy I cry. This was one of these moments. I wanted to scream, I wanted to laugh, I wanted to cry. Not only because of the scenery but because we did this. We trekked this insane journey on our own, carried our own things, and it felt incredible. Beaming and high on life, we slowly broke down the camp and waved to the locals as they moved their herd along the river bank. The next leg of the trek was descending along the river and it was absolutely beautiful. At one point we arrived at a slightly difficult river crossing. As you can see below a few unstable logs sat above the rushing river and we decided with the weight on our backs our only options was to sit and slide our bodies across. We laughed as we awkwardly scootched over the river and we continued onward.
what an amazing and delicious read that was. Thank you Viktoria for sharing your incredible experience. What I wouldn't give to be a free spirit like you. Looking forward to your (our) next adventure. Trek on, be safe. ?

Q: why does anaconda use Apple gcc? I installed Anaconda python 3.52.
I installed gcc with
brew install gcc

This results in gcc-6 symlinked in /usr/local/bin
My PATH has /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin
Issuing python in terminal gives
Python 3.5.2 |Anaconda 4.1.1 (x86_64)| (default, Jul  2 2016, 17:52:12)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 4.2 (clang-425.0.28)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Why does anaconda use the 'old' gcc?
Should I create this symlink in /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/6.1.0/bin/gcc-6 /usr/local/bin/gcc

or is there a better solution?

A: That information line is not showing you what Python is going to use as a compiler, it is showing what compiler the Python interpreter itself was built with.
We build it with this compiler for maximal compatibility with old versions of OS X.

A: As you may see Anaconda is using Clang and not GCC
Seems you are working on MacOS where is Clang is default compiler.
First of all : Try to update your Xcode/Clang you are using pretty old version (based on these logs)
Also you may try to change path in your PATH

Baseball Playoff Preview (National League)
Yesterday, we previewed the American League playoff teams. Today, we look at the National League.
Philadelphia Phillies – National League East Champions (97-65)
How did they get here:
The Phillies were 7 games out of first place on July 22. Going 47-17 from that date through the end of the season locked up the division for the reigning National League champions.
Rotation – Halladay, Hamels, and Oswalt are a stunningly potent trio. The 33 year old Halladay paced the National League in wins and innings pitched, and will pitch in the playoffs for the first time in his career. While Cole Hamels never seems to rack up high win totals, it's not due to lack of performance on his part. He posted a 3.06 ERA – the third season of 3.40 or lower in the past 4 seasons. Roy Oswalt is the new kid on the block. After starting the season 6-12 with a stellar 3.42 ERA for Houston, he flourished in Philadelphia, going 7-1 with a 1.74 ERA. All three guys pitched at least 200 innings.
The big bats – Ryan Howard had an off year and still managed 31 homers. Jayson Werth hit 27 homers while leading the National League in doubles (46). He's also a free agent at the end of the year – so he has extra incentive to perform in front of a national audience. I'm not exposed to the east coast media, and perhaps he gets more coverage there – but Werth seems like a very under-the-radar star. Chase Utley slipped a bit, but still posted numbers that are strong for a second baseman. Carlos Ruiz put up a .302 batting average at catcher.
Shortstop Jimmy Rollins fought injuries and saw his OPS decline for the 3rd straight season. It's probably too early to yell that the sky is falling … but there is reason for concern.
3B Placido Polanco doesn't hit with the power most team expect from their third baseman.
Paul Hoover sucks.
Player to watch:
Jamie Moyer. There's not really a young breakout player to keep an eye on, so let's focus on the 47 year old 267 game winner. Moyer won't pitch in the first round, but might crack the roster later in the playoffs, as a lefty out of the pen.
San Francisco Giants – National League West Champions (92-70)
The Giants finished the season strong – 45-29 in the second half and 19-10 in August and September. However, it would be prudent to give the Padres some credit. A stunning collapse by San Diego – including a 10 game losing streak – allowed the Giants to snatch the division from them. The Giants won a game against San Diego on the final day of the season – and clinched the division as a result.
Rotation – Reigning Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum's 3.43 ERA ranks 4th among Giants starters – Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, and Jonathan Sanchez all posted ERAs of 3.14 or lower. This is the best rotation in the playoffs. However, it may be worth noting that Bumgarner is a 21 year old kid with a total of 19 career starts.
Hitters who rose to the occasion in limited roles. Rookie catcher Buster Posey made the most of his opportunity by batting .305 with 18 homers. Pat Burrell hit his 18 in just 289 at bats. Veteran players Aubrey Huff (26 homers) and Juan Uribe (24 homers) also had strong seasons.
3B Pablo Sandoval saw his number drop dramatically across the board. He hit .330 with 25 homers in 2009, but just .268 with 13 homers this year.
An awful lot of players filled roles for the Giants this year. Only 1 outfielder (Andres Torres) got more than 500 at bats. Sure, some of the limited role players succeeded with their opportunities, but will the familiarity with teammates be there at critical junctures in the game?
Buster Posey. 18 homers and a .305 average from a rookie CATCHER! Heck, he doesn't even strike out very much. I was high on the kid when he was drafted, and I'm still a fan.
Cincinnati Reds – National League Central Champions (91-71)
A 19-8 August, combined with an unexpectedly underperforming Cardinals team, allowed the Reds to claim the division title. They didn't finish the season on a strong note, going 14-16 in their final 30 games.
Hitting, top to bottom. SS Orlando Cabrera was the only regular to finish the season with an OPS lower than .758. MVP candidate Joey Votto hit .324 with 37 homers.
Chemisty – This group should also have good cohesion, as everyone other than catcher Ramon Hernandez recording at least 494 at bats.
Rotation – Only Bronson Arroyo (17) and Johnny Cueto (12) won as many as 9 games. Edinson Volquez served a 50 game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs, and wasn't great after he returned – he'll need to step up in the post-season in order to have this rotation match up with the other teams.
Closer – Francisco Cordero's notched 40 saves, but his 3.84 ERA and 11 decisions (6-5) are indications that he wasn't as dominant as the Reds would have liked.
22 year old Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman touched 105 mph on the radar gun. He had a bit of an up-and-down season in the minors before his call-up, but there have been more ups than downs. Chappy was used exclusively out of the bullpen late in the season, pitching just 13 1/3 innings.
Atlanta Braves – National League Wild Card (91-71)
The Braves were in first place by 7 games on July 22, before fading and finishing 7 games behind the Phillies. Had the Padres beaten the Giants on the final day of the season, the Braves would have ended up in a tie for the wild card – but the Giants prevailed and punched playoff tickets for themselves and the Braves. The Braves were 14-16 in their final 30 games.
Bullpen – Billy Wagner notched 37 saves and posted a 1.73 ERA. He led a bullpen corps that included 5 guys who pitched in at least 56 games and record an ERA below 3.00.
Emotion – this is the final year for Braves manager Bobby Cox. Cox won more than 2500 games during a managerial career that dates back to 1978 – and 2149 of those wins were for the Braves. He took the team to the World Series 5 times, winning one title. He also holds the distinction of being ejected more times than any other manager in history (yes, they track this stuff), earning him the appreciation of his players. The players want to send Cox out on a high note.
Hitting – there are some serious holes in this lineup. Chipper Jones, the heart and sole of the team for a decade and half, suffered a season ending injury. OF Nate McClouth was an All Star in 2008, but was the worst hitter on the team this year. Once promising SS Yunel Escobar was traded to the Blue Jays. Only one player, catcher Brian McCann, managed to hit 20 homers (he had 21). There are still some solid hitters in the lineup, but it's not as scary as what other teams will put on he field.
Rotation – Tim Hudson (17-9, 2.83 ERA) and Tommy Hanson (3.33 ERA) should be able to hold their own with the other top guns, but the Braves lack the third elite arm that their opponents are going to be able to throw at them.
21 year old outfielder Jason Heyward is one of the best prospects in the game and could become a household name with a strong performance.
Who is my choice? I'm going to go with the Phillies. They have the second best rotation of the 4 teams, and their offense is much better than the Giants.
Atlanta Braves, Baseball, Cincinnati Reds, National League, Philadelphia Phillies, Playoffs, San Francisco Giants
http://www.thesoapboxers.com/baseball-playoff-preview-national-league/
Baseball Playoff Preview (American League) Johnny's College Football Picks (October 7 and October 9)
I like your pick . . . obviously. I'll pick the Phils, too, but I don't think it is as clear as all the pundits make it out to be. The Reds have some good lefties. I think in the end that they might be like the Phillies in 2007 – not quite ready yet. The Giants are the team that scares me the most.
An interesting stat is how all the playoff teams performed against teams with winning records. Back in late August, only the Braves and Phillies had winning records against other winning teams. I'm not sure how it ended up, but I know the Reds ended up well below .500 against winning teams.
I'd be really surprised to see Jamie Moyer pitch. He hasn't seen game action since his elbow injury in July, although a week or so ago he was talking about perhaps heading to the Instructional League.
Evan @ 40Tech´s last post ..How to Record Your Skype Calls For Free
One other thing I meant to mention is that because the Phillies were the top seed, they got to choose which series setup they wanted. They chose the long series, which has an extra day of rest. That means they can pitch Halladay on normal rest (4 days) in game 4.
I saw something that was talking about Moyer doing some work on the side and thought he'd be ready if needed.
I don't have the stats on record against winning teams, but I tend not to get worked up about it. Unlike other sports, you're not putting the same team out there every day. You might be pitching your #5 starter against the worse team's ace. You might lose that game, but it's not really a bad loss.
I'm not suggesting that there isn't SOME value in the stat, but I woudn't read much into it if one team was 3 games above .500 against winning teams and another team was 1 game below .500.
Evan @40Tech
I dug up the Reds' stats:
They were 61-30 against teams with losing records, 30-41 against clubs that were .500 or better
Although in a 5 game series, you can throw all that out the window.

Where did you find those stats? I'm sure they are readily available on a number of sites, but not (directly) on my main site, http://www.baseball-reference.com
Nice postseason debut by Halladay. It may be easily to overlook the impact it may have on the next few games. The Reds bullpen entered the game in the 2nd inning, the Phillies bullpen will be fresh for game 2. That could be critical if both starters get knocked out early.
I hate the artificial off days during the playoffs. Wonder why the World Series ends so late? Maybe because everyone is taking a break today (except that Braves/Phillies, who play the sole game).
Poor Cliff Lee. Playing second fiddle to Halladay once again. I'm actually predictiong the Rangers to top the Phillies (because I see them as a perennial underdog), but if they both get there, I think it will be an awesome series. On a related note, the Rangers designated Rich Harden for assignment (DFA) to free up a roster spot – so it's possible he may be heading to a (another) new team.
Evan@40Tech
I had come across that stat somewhere, so I just googled the Reds record vs. winning teams, and found it in a few different articles.

Each pattern is generated from a line-for-line draft of the original antique pattern pieces for the most accurate results in marking and size. The patterns are printed in black-line on lightweight translucent bond paper for durability and semi-transparent quality.
Translucency is critical when laying pattern pieces on fabric with prints or lines. All illustrated and printed material that accompanied the original vintage pattern is reproduced and included with the patterns unless otherwise noted.
You will see in each pattern description that some patterns are hand-drafted prints (most of the single-size collection) while other are digitally drafted. When I first began my online pattern shop in 2000, I offered hand-traced reproductions from originals in singe sizes.
In 2006, I began making multiple-size patterns using the digital software still in my use today. These are the digitally drafted patterns available all through the multi-size collections while you will see, a few single size patterns have also been digitally drafted, as noted.

All patterns are complete with instructions and envelope art unless otherwise noted in the description.
A Word on Seam Allowances: Until the late 1950's, the amount of seam allowance given on a pattern varied between pattern makers from 3/8" to 5/8". All seam allowances are clearly marked on the patterns.
VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, PayPal, JCB, Diner's Club, Checks and Money Orders issued in U.S. funds are accepted. All checks from first-time customers are allowed 7 business days to clear before orders are shipped.

Orders are shipped via U.S. Postal Service. Please advise if you wish to have other shipping arrangements made. Depending on weight, a single pattern ships for $3.00 via first class to $7.85 via priority mail. Shipping costs are calculated at the time of order. I welcome international buyers.
Order ship each Tuesday and Friday, the cut-off being noon EST the previous day.
On each pattern page, you will see a .jpg image of the yardage chart when available to help you shop for fabric or notions.
EVERY PATTERN I SELL IS FOR INDIVIDUAL USE ONLY! One is not permitted to buy patterns to produce garments to sell to others nor is one permitted to reproduce my patterns for any reason! This is an industry standard and I will enforce my rights against any such infringement.
One is permitted to purchase a pattern and have it sent to a personal dressmaker or tailor in order for that professional to create the garment.
On this note, the owner of Silk Poppy made her patterns available through me (in the collections they are noted as such). When she closed her business down in 2004, she wished her patterns to remain available to those interested.
Additionally, aside from a long term international seller, I do not extend wholesale terms on my patterns.
Unless noted otherwise, vintage patterns are based on a different set of measurements than today's pattern standards. Refer to this page to see the breakdown of pattern sizes for bust, waist and hip measurements so you will know what vintage pattern size to buy.
Many multi-size patterns may not include a size you are looking for. This is because as I have begun multi-sizing patterns, I have done my best to adhere to the original range of sizes in which the pattern was first manufactured. If there is a size you would really like to have in a pattern that is currently not available, please e-mail me to the effect and depending on demand and my pattern schedule, I may be able to accommodate your request.
The pattern collection may also be viewed in the 28-page color print catalogue which may be ordered online by clicking here or by mail for $10 in the U.S. or $15 overseas (shipping and handling is included in these prices). The catalogue price will be deducted from your first pattern order!
I do not yet have an affordable way to include yardage information for each pattern in the print catalogue. You are welcome to look it up online (via .jpg image each pattern's page), e-mail or call and ask for this information.

TERRELL'S TUNEUP: SQUIRRELLY MEMORIES
I wouldn't call Squirrel Nut Zippers' new album, Lost at Sea, the comeback of the year. But the CD, released next week, is a fun little reminder of a fun little band that came along during a strange period of rock 'n' roll.
In 1997, when SNZ released their biggest album, Hot, grunge was long dead. Lollapalooza, in its original incarnation as a traveling festival, had run its course. Rock 'n' roll was looking for something new by looking at its roots. Alt country was at its peak. Fat Possum was finding booze-soaked blues codgers in the Mississippi hills.
And then there was the "neo-swing" movement, propelled partly by the 1996 movie Swingers. The Zippers got lumped in with this style, which seemed like a weird fad from day one. I'm not knocking the neo-swingers. I actually liked a lot of that music. As I've mentioned here before, I had fun seeing Big Bad Voodoo Daddy a few months ago, and I enjoy the group's latest album, How Big Can You Get?, a Cab Calloway tribute.
But Squirrel Nut Zippers, fronted by Katherine Whalen and Jimbo Mathus, weren't truly part of the martini-sippin', jitterbuggin', zoot-suit set. True, they were retro; and true, they had horns. But while the neo-swingers emulated Louis Jordan, Louis Prima, and the jump blues bands of the '40s (with obvious nods to Rat Pack cool), the Zippers harked back to an earlier era — vaudeville and hot jazz, with a little Gypsy jazz mixed in. Give Dan Hicks a couple of horns and a speed-freak drummer, and The Hot Licks would sound a lot like the Squirrel Nuts.
SNZ are best remembered for "Hell," basically an original calypso song about the afterlife, and "Put a Lid on It", which was more typical of their sound (and ended up in an Intel commercial). Both are from the Hot album.
The Zippers barely made it to this century. Their last studio album, Bedlam Ballroom, was released in the fall of 2000 but was promptly forgotten. (In fact, I'd forgotten I'd reviewed the dang thing — unfavorably— until I was recently looking through The New Mexican archives.)
But my perennial favorite is the underrated Perennial Favorites from 1998. On some songs there, SNZ seem to be looking at the music industry — which would soon be forsaking them — with horror and bile. There are still fun moments, but that album has a raw and restless undertow. (It is ironic that "Suits Are Picking Up the Bill" ended up on a Heinz ketchup commercial. Guess the suits picked up a few of the Zippers' bills for a while after that.)
A bunch of the original members of the Zippers are back. Besides Whalen and Mathus (who has since worked with Buddy Guy), there are drummer Chris Phillips (who's been playing with the likes of The Dickies and Dex Romweber), trumpet man Je Widenhouse, and bass player Stuart Cole.
The Zippers wisely included several Perennial Favorites tunes — "Suits," "Fat Cats Keep Getting Fatter," and "The Ghost of Stephen Foster" on the new live album, as well as the obvious crowd-pleasers "Hell" and "Put a Lid on It." Other highlights here include "You Are My Radio," which never appeared on any Zippers album before. It features just Mathus on guitar, with a vocal duet by him and Whalen. That's followed by a dreamy "Blue Angel" (no, not the Hundred Year Flood song).
Lost at Sea is a stopgap album. The Zippers are working on a new studio album for release next year. This record proves they've got their instrumental and vocal chops down. Let's hope their songwriting still has some of the bite of Perennial Favorites.
Wally! by The Polkaholics. At first listen, it's tempting to call The Polkaholics "irreverent." After all, here's this crazed trio playing polka on electric instruments — no accordion, no sax, but a screaming guitar with bass and drums cranking up the basic polka beat. The band calls its sound "Oom pah pow!" One of the group's early songs declares The Polkaholics "Polka Enemy Number One." Another tune is called "The Pimps of Polka."
But nothing could be further from the truth than to say they're irreverent. When they sing of "Beer, Broads, and Brats," they're not poking fun at the polka lifestyle. They're embracing it and slobbering all over it.
Just look at their relationship to Wally Jagiello, better known as Li'l Wally, who is the subject of The Polkaholics' polka rock opera, Wally! Jagiello was a polka giant who died in 2006 at the age of 76. Don Hedeker, the high potentate of The Polkaholics, calls him "the Muddy Waters of polka." Born in Chicago, Jagiello was the son of Polish immigrants. He's credited with playing a slower and more accessible polka style. That's slower compared to the Slovenian-style polka played by Frankie Yankovic in Cleveland. (Would that make Frankie the Howlin' Wolf of polka?)
Wally! contains several musical references to the first-generation rock operas Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar. (Check out the song "Polka Superstar," with the lyrics "Li'l Wally, superstar/You are just who you say you are.") The songs tell stories from various phases of Wally's life — his childhood; playing polka in the bars back in the glory days (my favorite song here is "Division Street" — the Chicago street was full of polka dance bars and was known as the "Polish Broadway" in the 1950s); moving to Miami; coming back to Chicago in the early part of this century for a Division Street concert with a new generation of polka nuts (namely The Polkaholics); and his death in 2006 ("Oh how we cried and cried, the day the polka died.").
Li'l Wally wasn't only the king of polka. The Polkaholics declare him "the King of Happiness. Like all Polkaholics albums, this one's fun and zany — and it rocks like crazy.

Once again, the sweet breath of reason is exhaled from the precincts of the Vatican on this--admittedly the least of issues, but a sore point for me.
This is the first pronouncement from the new pope that has me really thrilled. All the rest have been interesting or wonderful but haven't inspired me much. This one is inspirational because once again it seems as though the Catholic Church is insisting that one need not check one's reason at the door.

Prevalence and Clinical Implication of Wellens' Sign in Patients With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Akihiro Kobayashi, Naoki Misumida, Shunsuke Aoi, Yumiko Kanei
Background: Symmetrically inverted or biphasic T waves in anterior precordial leads, Wellens' sign, have been shown to represent impending infarction of left anterior descending (LAD) territory among unstable angina patients in the studies published more than 3 decades ago, when non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was not a recognized entity. The clinical implication of Wellens' sign in the contemporary NSTEMI cohort has not been clarified.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all NSTEMI patients who underwent coronary angiography between January 2013 and June 2014. Wellens' sign was defined as either symmetrically inverted T waves (≥ 0.10 mV) or biphasic T waves in both leads V2 and V3. Coronary angiograms were reviewed and culprit lesions were determined for each patient.
Results: A total of 274 patients were included in the final analysis, of whom 24 (8.8%) had Wellens' sign. Among these 24 patients, 16 had a LAD culprit (eight proximal), two had a non-LAD culprit, and six had non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Patients with Wellens' sign were more likely to have LAD culprit (66.7% vs. 19.6%, P < 0.001) and proximal LAD culprit (33.3% vs. 14.4%, P = 0.035) than those without it. Wellens' sign had a sensitivity of 24.6% and a specificity of 96.2% to predict LAD culprit.
Conclusions: Our study revealed that: 1) Wellens' sign was seen in 8.8% of the patients with NSTEMI; 2) Two-thirds of patients with Wellens' sign had LAD culprit and one-third had proximal LAD culprit; and 3) Sensitivity and specificity of Wellens' sign to predict LAD culprit were 24.6% and 96.2%, respectively.

'This is more than football': Everything there is to know about East Lansing's new NIL club
In recent years, NIL has dramatically changed the landscape of college football.
Athletes are now paid by name, image and likeness, and the state of Michigan has had a number of players benefit financially from this tool.
Just this year, Bailey O'Sullivan and Mick Assaf, founders of the licensing company YOKE, partnered with MSU soccer players to launch the first player-led collective in college sports.
The club directly supports the players and provides special access to fans. There are over 100 players supported by this club for whom over 500 fans have signed up, but the main players passing on information to their teammates are senior center Nick Samac, sixth-year offensive guard Matt Carrick and junior wide receiver Mosley red jersey shirt.
"Nick and I are like two of the guys that deliver the messages to the team about what's going on, the steps and what we're working to do with the fans. Matt Carrick too," Mosley said.
Although there is also a financial incentive, there is another reason why Mosley said he took on this role at the club.
"It just gives the fans a chance to get closer to the players," Mosley said. "Once you're a Spartan, you're a Spartan for life, so we just want the fans to feel appreciated because without them we wouldn't have the great experience that we have playing at Michigan State, so we just want to give back. a little bit and then he too comes back and comes back for the team. The more we do for the community, we immediately take it back. It's a full circle experience."

Since the club is so young, some things are still being worked out, but some groundwork has been laid for the organization's near future.
"They want to get a calendar so people can know what to expect and when to expect it, who will be speaking and where they can meet people," Mosley said.
As for the club's long-term goals, Mosley wants to bring in as many people as possible.
"The more people we have on board, the more people we can contact and that way there are more opportunities for the team," Mosley said.
He would also like to see, eventually, all team members included in the deal so no one feels left out.
"Whether he's the starting quarterback or a freshman, he keeps everyone on the team involved and included, which is good for team chemistry," Mosley said.
The world of NIL is still very new to everyone, but this club has given Mosley the opportunity to learn a lot about this new landscape.
"There are a lot of opportunities here," Mosley said. "First you have to take care of what you have to take care of on the field, that will open up opportunities for you. But once you do that, there's an unlimited amount of opportunity here for you and your team… You can build your brand and a lot of it."
Although this club is now specifically just for the football team, Mosley said he wouldn't be surprised if all sports eventually got involved.
"If it takes off and goes where we expect it to go, I wouldn't be surprised if they branch out into other sports in college," Mosley said. "It would be great to get everyone involved and all the fans will be able to have conversations and meet and greets across sports, which will be a win-win."

Q: Buster.js using a HTTP Proxy returns "undefined" I'm trying to test my webapp with Buster.js but I can't get the HTTP proxy working.
When I try to run the test I only get a undefined message
$ buster-test --verbose
Running tests: Browser tests
undefined
undefined

I tried to find a solution to this problem online but It's kinda hard to search for an "undefined" message. It looks a bit like this problem node.js displays "undefined" on the console...
Anyone got any clue what might be the problem?
My config looks like this:
var config = exports;

config["Browser tests"] = {
    environment: "browser",
    sources: ["jquery.js"],
    tests: ["proxy-test.js"],
    resources: {
        "/en": "http://docs.busterjs.org:80/en/"
    }
};

And my test looks like this:
var strftime = window.strftime;

var assert = buster.assert;

buster.testCase("Ajax Testcase", {

    setUp: function () {
        this.timeout = 5000;
    },

    "Should get http://docs.busterjs.org/en/latest/": function (done) {

        $.ajaxSetup({timeout:1000});

        $.ajax("en/latest/").done(function(evt) {

            done();

        }).fail(function(evt) {

            assert(false); // test still times out..

        });

    }
});

I forked the tests and added my own here: https://github.com/tiemevanveen/demos/tree/master/buster-proxy-tests
I also created an issue on the buster github: https://github.com/busterjs/buster/issues/382

Transportation board investigation into deadly B.C. train derailment enters next phase
A Vancouver-bound Canadian Pacific grain train was stopped on a mountain slope in the frigid early-morning hours of Feb. 4, 2019, when it began moving on its own and plummeted from a bridge.

The Transportation Safety Board says a year after a fatal train derailment near the Alberta-British Columbia boundary, it is ready to compile the information it has gathered into a report.
Transportation board investigation into deadly B.C. train derailment enters next phase Back to video
Conductor Dylan Paradis, engineer Andrew Dockrell and trainee Daniel Waldenberger-Bulmer died in the crash near Field, B.C.
The safety agency says in an update that the train consisting of 112 cars and three locomotives separated into three sections as it sped down a treacherous hill in Yoho National Park.
It says only the 13 grain cars and tail-end locomotive that remained on the track after the crash were recovered for further examination and testing.
The agency says its work so far includes examining all relevant data from the crash site, collecting communications with train crews and conducting interviews.
It says it has also looked at railway management and regulatory oversight, the safety culture at Canadian Pacific, decision-making and crew resource management.
No data could be retrieved from the recorder in the lead locomotive because it was too damaged.
The safety board says its investigation is now moving from examination and analysis to the report phase.
For cases as complex as the Field derailment, the board says it aims to complete investigations within 600 days, though that timeline can vary.
The train was stopped with its airbrakes applied for three hours, but no handbrakes were used to further secure the train.
The safety board said after a job briefing between the previous crew and a supervisor, the conductor applied retainer valves to the high-pressure position on 75 per cent of the cars on the train.
After the crash, Transport Canada ordered that railways immediately use handbrakes on all trains stopped on mountain slopes.
The Transportation Safety Board does not assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability.
Two labour groups have called for an independent investigation. The Alberta Federation of Labour alleges the police service directly employed by the railway conducted a flawed investigation. Teamsters Canada, the union that represents railway employees, said the RCMP must be called in.
The calls followed a CBC Fifth Estate investigation featuring an interview with a former CP police officer who alleged the company prevented him from obtaining key witness accounts, withheld evidence and ordered officers to keep the investigation narrowly focused on the crew.

The InterContinental brand is the jewel in IHG's crown and this year we are celebrating 70 glorious years as one of the world's leading luxury hotel brands.
The InterContinental story started back in 1946 when airline Pan American World Airways decided to open their own chain of luxury hotels throughout Latin America to encourage business trips and tourism to the area. The Grande Hotel in Belém, Brazil became the first InterContinental hotel to open in 1949 and soon the brand expanded across Latin America.
Since then, InterContinental has grown worldwide to become one of the finest hotel brands on the globe and has always had its hand in landmark moments in history.
It was in the InterContinental Carlton in Cannes, France that Grace Kelly first met Prince Rainer III of Monaco and it was in Washington D.C's Willard InterContinental in 1963 that the Reverend Martin Luther King put the finishing touches to his legendary 'I Have a Dream' speech.
However, it's not just InterContinental's incredible history that we're so proud of. It's the magic moments that all of our team strive to achieve on a daily basis that makes the InterContinental experience such a special one.
In this blog we're going to look at some of the most special moments that our InterContinental staff have enjoyed being a part of and look forward to a future filled with many more!
InterContinental staff to the rescue!
Assistant Front Office Manager at the Semiramis InterContinental Hotel in Cairo, Nevien Farouk, came to a bride's rescue after an unfortunate mishap with her dress and a fire extinguisher sprinkler.
Back in April 2015 a wedding reception was being held at the hotel. Earlier that day a friend of the bride hung the wedding gown on a fire sprinkler on the ceiling of the bridal suite. As soon as she disturbed the sprinkler water flooded the room, leaving everything, bridal gown included!
Naturally, panic ensued from the bridal party. Searching for a dress rental service Nevien recommended the hotel's in-house Laundry Team. A mere two hours later the dress was back, washed and laundered and looking good as new! As Nevien herself says, "I was very happy to turn a very sad bride (only for a few hours) from unexpected desolation into real happiness."
A perfect example of the dedication to superior service that InterContinental is known for!
InterContinental staff help to make dreams come true!
Executive Chef at InterContinental Marseille— Hotel Dieu, Lionel Levy, remembers a particularly poignant guest and how he helped him to bring one of his dreams to life. Lionel says,
"[My most special story was] the day I met the little François, 4 years old, who was suffering from terminal cancer. His dream was to become a chef, so I offered him my InterContinental chef jacket and spent the evening with him inside the kitchen of the Michelin starred restaurant Alcyone. I taught him how to cook the traditional bouillabaisse, which he then got to taste with his family in the restaurant later that evening."
Little François lost his brave battle, but Lionel still to this day keeps in touch with his family so they enjoy the memory of making this brave little boy's dream come true during their stay with InterContinental.
