If you happen to live in a safe and secure home, you're incredibly lucky. For millions of people, it's just not possible. People with disabilities, battered and abused women and children, people with substance abuse disorders–they all, typically, struggle with finding a place to live, let alone a home of their own.
I grew up with an abusive father, as many people know. He battered my mom. For a while, I stayed in a shelter for abused women with my mom when I was young.
The struggle for many people to find their own place–a safe and affordable home of their own–is all too real. That's why I've taken the time to do some research on this and try to come up with a solution: to create a non-profit that enables people to purchase a quality–but inexpensive–home of their own in Florida.

UPDATE: Here's an article by Microsoft's Lisa Brummel on the undervalued skill of social activism.
For the past month or so, I have been involved in the movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline. I have done many things with this movement, and wish to incorporate my activities into my professional experiences. As you will see in my previous post, I wrote a Letter to the Editor which was published in the Daytona Beach News Journal.
In addition to fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline, I have also started doing editing work for a Basic Income website. I haven't done as much work on this as I would have hoped because the Dakota Access Pipeline movement got in the way of that, but I have edited a couple of pieces on Basic Income.
I have been wondering about how to incorporate my volunteer and activism experiences into my resume. I will be doing that soon.
There's a lot of talk about parity in medicine, especially now during Mental Health Month. Brain disorders are treated differently than other illnesses, so there's differences in policy, funding, and so forth. But when we talk about parity, we also need to keep in mind that, for carers, nurses, doctors, and other non-disordered people, we need parity in motives.
I've come across many people who seem to just want an ordered world–a world free of psychotic people. These people are not acting from the motive of caring and concern for someone who may be suffering. They are acting from other motives. When we think about treating brain disorders, or when we think about possibly curing or ridding the world of them, we need to search our motives, and make sure they are the same for any ill person.
Sometimes I think psychosis simply bothers some people, and they feel the need to rid the world of it. This is not the motive one wishes to move from.
In this essay, I want to argue that we should refer to psychotic disorders as brain disorders, but that doing this doesn't mean giving primacy to the biomedical view versus the biopsychosocial view.
In keeping with some of my previous thoughts, let's assume you get a broken leg. Furthermore, let's assume that your broken leg is due to a social ill—someone assaulted you.
You go to the doctor. You get a cast, but, in addition, as you heal, you may need physical therapy in order to heal better in your leg.
Seeing a broken leg as a medical issue doesn't mean you won't need treatments other than having a cast, and using crutches until you heal.
In fact, this may be yet one more trauma in your life that you don't need.
Now imagine that, years down the road, you become psychotic. Imagine further that this is because you have experienced hardship, childhood abuse, and trauma, including being assaulted by someone who broke your leg, years back.
You are taken to the hospital. The psychiatrists there see you as a brain patient. They try to treat your brain by giving you antipsychotics.
But, in addition, you are assigned a treatment team that includes social workers, case managers and counselors.
Seeing psychosis as a brain issue doesn't mean you won't need other treatments, like counseling. And, further, your society may need some treatments of its own, if it produces people who traumatize and torments people, and produces social injustice.
Calling psychosis a brain illness doesn't negate other biopsychosocial causes or cures, just as thinking of a broken leg as a medical issue doesn't negate the fact that you have been assaulted, and may need counseling, or physical therapy. In other words, calling schizophrenia a brain disorder doesn't commit us to the biomedical model over the biopsychosocial model.
My undergraduate thesis in philosophy, entitled The More Freely He Breathes: Colonialism in the United States, explored indigenous colonization drawing upon work in Native Studies. All of my prior education prepared me for taking up the research role, during which time I consulted experts across campus, students, experts from other universities, American Indian philosophy, and American Indian Law. In addition, I took a road trip recounting the Trail of Tears from the Choctaw perspective, visiting the reservation of The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, where I was priviledged to experience Choctaw Indian Fair and a speech by Chief Martin. I visited The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, seeing historic, administrative and governmental sites and visited tribal-owned businesses.
There's an article in the Atlantic about job hunting while having schizophrenia. According to the article, 85% of people with schizophrenia are unemployed, while 70% of them would like to work. This gets back to my previous post about how I am an asset. I explained that discrimination still occurs. Check out the article.


What is SageMath and why are we using it?
What can you expect to get out of this course?
This is a course over three full-day workshops (3 hp) on May 11, 18 and 25 2018.
Prerequisites: current proficiency in high-school level mathematics (pre-calculus, geometry and algebra with some programming experience beyond Excel).
Target Audience: any MSc or PhD student at UU who wants to understand the mathematical statistical foundations in the data scientist's computational toolbox. The approach will use formal mathematical communication of concepts starting from sets and logic, but with concomitant development of computer programming skills to algorithmically construct and implement the concepts. Topics will include: Sets, Maps, Functions, Modular Arithmetic, Axiomatic Probability, Conditional probability, Pseudo-random constructive understanding of random variables and structures including graphs, Statistics, Likelihood Principle, Bayes Rule, Decisions (parametric and non-parametric) including tests and estimators, Markov chains and their pseudorandom constructions, etc.
This course is designed to help you take the first steps along the mathematical-statistical-computational path of being a data scientist.
We will be using Sage or SageMath for our hands-on work in this course. Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. Sage can be used to study mathematics and statistics, including algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, exact linear algebra, optimization, interactive data visualization, randomized or Monte Carlo algorithms, scientific and statistical computing and much more. It combines various software packages into an integrative learning, teaching and research experience that is well suited for novice as well as professional researchers.
Sage is a set of software libraries built on top of Python, a widely used general purpose programming language. Sage greatly enhance Python's already mathematically friendly nature. It is one of the languages used at Google, US National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), US Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Industrial Light and Magic, YouTube, and other leading entities in industry and public sectors. Scientists, engineers, and mathematicians often find it well suited for their work. Obtain a more thorough rationale for Sage from Why Sage? and Success Stories, Testimonials and News Articles. Jump start your motivation by taking a Sage Feature Tour right now!
We will embed relevant videos in the notebook, such as those from The Khan Academy or open MOOCs from google, facebook, academia, etc.
We will use interactive visualisations to convey concepts when possible. See the Taylor approximation below for a given order.
We will write computer programs within code cells in the Notebook right after we learn the mathematical and statistical concepts.
Thus, there is a significant overlap between traditional lectures and labs in this course -- in fact these interactions are lab-lectures.
Let us visualize the CO2 data, fetched from US NOAA, and do a simple linear regression.

While teaching SDS-2.2: Scalable Data Science from Atlantis, a fast-paced industrially aligned course in data science to research students at Uppsala University from various Departments in the Technical and Natural Sciences, I realized that the students have a significant variance in their mathemtical, statistical and computational backgrounds.
Most of the students of that course were able to learn and apply the methods and interpret the outputs of the models and methods on datasets. However, only those with a background in probability and statistics as well as computing were able to understand the models well enough to adapth them for the problem and dataset at hand - a crucial distinguishing skillset of a data scientist.
This course is nearly reverse-engineered from my experience in SDS-2.2 with the goal of making the mathematical, statistical and computational foundations reasonably strong for a data scientist who is fairly rusty on these interweaving foundations.
We will steer clear of academic/philosophical discussions on "what is data science?" and focus instead on the core skillset in mathematics, statistics and computing that is expected in a typical data science job today.

The Last of Us (Part 1 and 2) / Show and Game Spoilers Thread
TV Talk Talk about Shows on TV
ViewAskewbian
Location: Just around the corner to the light of day.
Mods, feel free to delete if this is repetitive but I think, with this show, we're in a unique spot when it comes to discussion. I just went to write a post in the current episode thread and realized I couldn't really write it without spoilers for the game. I imagine some watching the show HAVEN'T played the game and may want to, not wanting to know changes the series has done.
So, I figured I'd create a thread that could cover both games and the coming second season (based on Game 2), where those of us who have played can pop in some game spoilers as it relates to show discussion without our entire posts being under spoiler tags.
There's already been some subtle things in the threads that may give things away if you think about it so I figure this thread can be a catch all for spoilers while the episodes can stand on their own.
Again, if it's too much, ditch this thread and we can pop tags in the main episode threads.

Re: The Last of Us (Part 1 and 2) / Show and Game Spoilers Thread
Last night's episode had some interesting changes from the game:
-The removal of FEDRA from the story and the part they play in the game during the museum scene
-Ellie being bitten, again, as opposed to the game scene of her breathing in spores being the moment Joel believes her story
I listened to the after show podcast where they explained some of this. They don't plan to have spores on the show (at least not as much as the game, anyway). I suppose I get that. You spend a lot of time in the game in a gas mask which isn't a good look to showcase your stars on a tv show.
Still, IMO, Ellie being bitten AGAIN was redundant and kind of took away a bit from Tess being bitten. I guess there wasn't another way to have that moment where Joel finally believes her immunity if not the spores scene.
The creators said the FEDRA change came because they felt they had no reason for them to be on patrol at the museum. If I recall, in the game, they are enforcing curfew.
The connected infected is an interesting change, too, as is them being able to sense others like them.

I also liked the foreshadowing of Ellie and Riley though I believe they changed up how she was found by Marlene. In the show Ellie says that she was found AFTER she was bitten but in the add on to the game, if I recall correctly, Marlene was already present and mentioned.

Refresh my memory since it has been a minute. In the game, was it a thing where if you touched the cordyceps tentacles they sensed it and transmitted it to the infected? It seems vaguely familiar but I don't exactly remember that.

In Part 2 more infected bust out of fungus in the walls but touching them never did anything in the game.
Marginally stepping on a small piece of glass, however...
Another significant change is them not using airborne spores for infection but rather the "tendrils" from an infected person's mouth (which reminds me a bit of The Strain).
The cynic in me is thinking Pascal was not willing to wear a respirator mask after spending so much time in a helmet in the Manadalorian.

The tendrils are a cool addition. I don't think the tendrils are what necessarily spreads the fungus though ... or maybe those come out during the bite? In Tess's case, I believe the clicker sensed she was infected but not connected to the rest of them. It was trying to "connect" her.

Though they did touch on the masks in an interview with Polygon:
"The show [is] taking a more realistic approach to the story and the world," The Last of Us writer and co-creator Neil Druckmann told Polygon. "If we wanted to treat it realistically, and there are spores near, characters would wear gas masks all the time. Then we lose so much, which is maybe the most important part of the journey is what's going on inside behind their eyes, in their soul, in their beings. For that logistical reason, we were like, Let's find a different vector."
"[We wanted] to feel like these things are interconnected. They can come out against us as a mass," Druckmann said. "But also how they pass it from one person to the other, it just became this really disturbing thing, which was like, Oh, this is delicious. We have to use this."
Location: In the straps of boots
Yeah, I'm glad they changed the method of how the infection spreads. The TV version is more compelling and provides for some additional lore if they want to explore that stuff, which it sounds like they do.
I'm enjoying this much more than I expected I would, but I'm really looking forward to how they tackle Part 2. The storytelling convention used in the game works because it's a game. I'm not sure the same thing would work for the show, because I could see a LOT of people dropping off at certain points.

It may have been on the TV segment that airs after the show ... The podcast seems like an expanded version of that, covering the same topics.

Just finished Part 2, I don't know how they are going to adapt that in only one season.
I also feel the show will lose like half the audience next season. That Abby scene was very Negan-like, and that's the point when a lot of people were turned off by The Walking Dead.

I've been trying to keep the viewing experience as close to the game experience as possible. I watch 5-7 minutes at a time, then back it up 2-3 minutes.

I'm a little surprised they structured season 1 as the whole first game. I think it should have been 2 seasons at minimum. I almost think game two can be stretched out to a season per act. You end season 2 with Joel's death. You end season 3 with Abby & Elle's confrontation where she lets Elle live. You end season 4 with their second confrontation where Elle lets Abby go.
It's a fine line to walk because I think by the end of this season everyone watching is going to love the Elle - Joel dynamic and want to see what comes next. But with Joel dying almost right away in the second game I feel like that will hurt this show's longevity. Viewers only getting like 12 episodes of Joel before he's dead might be an easy point for people to jump off of the show.

Miss Porter's School - Review #1
Read more details about Miss Porter's School on their 2021 profile page.
Miss Porter's School
5 Miss Porter's School alumni 1
Years Attended Boarding School: 2014-2016
Sports and Activities: Varsity Lacrosse (captain), Varsity Ski Racing (captain), Varsity Equestrian, Cross Country (manager), Spectrum/GSA (Head), Perilhettes/A Cappella, Chamber Singers, Concert Choir.
College Enrolled: Pitzer College
Home Town, State: Katonah, NY
Reflections and Advice:
1.) What do you think makes your school unique relative to other boarding schools?
Two defining factors about Miss Porter's is the sense of community and the ability for students to create lasting connections with teachers. The community fostered by the students and faculty at Porter's is unlike any other school. It is so welcoming and supportive, and while it is not perfect, it is very rare for a high school to feel so much like home. The teachers are incredible and truly care about the success of their students. I graduated almost three years ago, and I am still in contact with my teachers from Porter's. Some have even helped me find internships and jobs.
2.) What was the best thing that happened to you in boarding school?
I think Porter's really helped me find my true self and what I love. It was one of the first schools I was actually comfortable at. It was the first school where I didn't care what people thought of me, and I just did my own thing. This has really helped me in college, for I have been able to take the leaps to try new things and find my passions.
3.) What might you have done differently during your boarding school experience?
I don't think I would have done anything differently. The mistakes I made in my first year were important to my own personal growth and have helped shape me into the type of person I am today.
4.) What did you like most about your school?
I think the people and the community. At Porter's the students are all pretty driven and courageous people. This is the type of high school that really helps build your confidence and encourages you to take risks.
5.) Do you have any final words of wisdom for visiting or incoming students to your school?
Go to Naples!! Great pizza place and also Truffles has really good baked goods.
1.) Describe the academics at your school - what did you like most about it?
The academics at Porter's are competitive, diverse, challenging, and inspiring. I think one of the difficult things at Porter's is the competitiveness, for it can be hard sometimes when you are not getting the grades you feel that you should. However, I truly believe that these are the moments where students truly grow. By stepping out of your comfort zone and asking for more help from teachers and by acknowledging weaknesses in classes and facing them head-on. The workload can be hard, and manageable. However, this takes dedication. Letting things slip is not going to help. You really just have to stay on top of it. The classes available to students are so diverse. I was able to take marine biology and an independent study with a teacher called "Advanced Topics in Global Ethics". It was awesome!
Athletics:
1.) Describe the athletics at your school - what did you like most about it?
Athletics have changed a lot since I left Porter's, which is a good thing! When I was there, I was the co-captain of varsity skiing and varsity lacrosse. We tried so hard but didn't have the best coaches. The students always played their best, yet we lost a lot of the time. Since graduating, Porter's has turned up the athletic program in an awesome way. The coaches are incredible, the recruiting is better, and the teams are beating the founder's league powerhouses in so many sports.
Art, Music, and Theatre:
1.) Describe the arts program at your school - what did you like most about it?
I don't know much about the Visual Arts and Theatre programs, however, I was very involved in the music program. I participated in Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, Junior and Senior Honors Voice, and the Perilhettes (the seniors only a cappella group). I really loved my voice teacher, but thought the choir director was pretty bad. Since my graduation, there is a new choir director and I am not sure if they are any better, but I hope so! I had an amazing time in the Perilhettes, which is completely student-run. It was an amazing experience and really made my senior year incredible.
Extracurricular Opportunities:
1.) Describe the extracurriculars offered at your school - what did you like most about it?
I was one of the co-heads of Spectrum, the Gender and Sexualities Alliance, and there are a bunch more affinity groups and alliances. I think that these groups are pretty great at Porter's and they do get a lot of backing from the administration. Student voices are really important to them and that was shown through meetings with administrators and creating solutions for issues in the community.
Dorm Life:
1.) Describe the dorm life in your school - what did you like most about it?
Dorm life was pretty nice. Unlike most boarding schools, the dorms at Porter's are renovated homes. This makes dorm life seem homier rather than industrial because the walls are not concrete and every room is different. There are also kitchens in each dorm and some rooms even have their own bathroom! Times to check-in at night is pretty standard and the dorm parents are amazing. They are real people with kids and pets, and they really do feel like proxy parents. You are able to choose who you live with, or if you want a single, after your first year. Something really special about Porter's is the senior dorms. Senior year, all seniors live together in two dorms that are connected by a common room/kitchen, so its really one building.
1.) Describe the dining arrangements at your school.
The food at Porter's is done by Brock dining services, and it is surprisingly good. I have a lot of dietary needs (gluten and dairy free) and didn't have many issues adhering to that diet. The food itself is pretty good, some meals were for sure better than others, but altogether pretty good. The dining hall is also a really good place to do homework, so most mornings I would get up early, go to breakfast, and do work until I had class. I really liked the sit-down dinners, these were really good opportunities to get to know people I hadn't had the chance to before.
Social and Town Life:
1.) Describe the school's town and surrounding area.
Town life in Farmington is unlike any other boarding school. The fact that there is a pizza place (Naples) and a Starbucks within walking distance is a game changer. Farmington is a cute little town and I really liked having the ability to walk to Starbucks and do homework there on the weekends. It gives you a greater sense of freedom and it feels less like a prison or an island. Also, West Hartford (a much bigger and busier town) is not too far away. Many students take taxi's or ubers there when they are trying to get off campus.
2.) Describe the social life at your school - what did you like most about it?
The social life at Porter's can be hard at first. I arrived as a new Junior, so I was older and was able to skip the first two years of drama. I am also someone who tends to have a few very close friends rather than many friends that are not so close. I loved my friends and I still see them today.One thing I really hated was Porter's relationship with Avon Old Farms (AOF), the all-boys school that is close by. AOF is a terrible place, and the students are pretty awful to Porter's students, yet the schools continue their relationship. One big piece of advice is just to stay clear of AOF. If you want to see boys, go to Salisbury.

Miss Porter's has unique traditions unlike any other school aimed at including students and making them feel like part of a campus community, such as the school ring tradition. Part of the fun is learning. . .
I would definitely have to say that something unique about Porter's is the connection between Alumnae (called "Ancients") and students. The ability to talk about shared experiences and traditions across generations is something I rarely. . .

THER DRC IN BRIEF
Looking for authenticity and discovery? The Democratic Republic of Congo unveils its jewels.
Fertile soil, rich in natural resources…
The Democratic Republic of Congo has abundant mineral resources (coltan, diamonds, gold, copper, cobalt, zinc, manganese…), wildlife (gorillas, okapis…) and a very rich flora and fertile soil offering immense agricultural possibilities.
Modern cities become tourist highlights
The economic, political and cultural centres of the country that make up the major cities of the DRC are full of contrasts, where high-rise residential areas, exclusive businesses, universities and military camps coexist side by side. The largest, the capital Kinshasa, constitutes a strategic transport hub and hosts the main institutional buildings of the country.
A country of history and heroes
It is in the DRC that the world witnessed one of the most famous boxing matches ever held. Known as the "Rumble in the Jungle" it showcased George Foreman versus Mohamed Ali.
Authentic and ancestrial cultures…
Although colonisation had an effect on lifestyles, the Democratic Republic of Congo still contains a large diversity of ethnic groups with their traditional costumes and cultures.
Wild and fascinating nature
In addition to being the second large rainforest in the world, the DRC has many national parks, with exceptional flora and fauna that make up the world's largest reserve. The great gorilla, the elephant, the antelope and the okapi are amongst the most emblematic animals of the country.
Success in the DRC? From now on it's easy!

A lot of people resist installing a new air conditioning system for as long as possible. Most would rather patch up their old system over and over to keep it running than fork over the larger up-front investment for a brand-new system. Intuitively, this makes sense. After all, even moderate repairs to an air conditioner are dwarfed by the cost of installing an entirely new system, right? Well, yes and no. Installing a new AC system is often more affordable than keeping an older one up and running. In order to understand why, though, you'll need to read on.

Team at Visit Himalaya Treks believe that the major important thing about Nepal is our History culture and festivals. We must not only follow the but also preserve them. Both as of for our identity and for our coming future. We can share and say to the world where we belong and how we do it. As a informational resource center we have highlighted the major History of Nepal. The Culture and Tradition we believe in. The festivals we celebrate in Nepal.
THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF NEPAL
The discovery of a life-size statue of king jaya Verma in 1992 at Maligaon in Kathmandu, with an inscription dated 185 is the earliest recorded evidence about Nepal's history. Before the conquest of the Nepal (Kathmandu) Valley by Gorkha's king Prithvi Narayan shah in 1769 Nepal Mandal, or Kathmandu Valley, was known as 'Nepal' to the outside world. According to recorded history, which dates back to the early Christian era, Nepal has been ruled by the Lichchhavi, Thakuri, Malla and shah dynasties. The Lichchhavis ruled the country from the beginning of the 1st to the 9th century. The Lichchhavis were followed by the Thakuri, who ruled the country from the 9th to the 14th century. However, the architectural excellence of the Kathmandu Valley reached its zenith during the later Malla period from the fourteenth century to the eighteenth century. The UNESCO heritage monuments that are scattered throughout the Kathmandu valley are the ingenuity of this period.
It was during the Malla period that Newari culture and architecture reached their pinnacle, and is known as the era of "renaissance". Malla rule came to an end when the Kathmandu valley was conquered by the Gorkha king, prithvi Narayan shah, in 1769 and the Shah dynasty was established. But in 1846, taking advantage of a weak king embroiled in intense palace intrigues, Jung Bahadur Rana seized absolute power through a brutal court massacre and started the Rana oligarchy. The Ranas de facto ruled the country as their fiefdom until they were ousted from power by a popular revolt in 1951, and democracy was established in the country.
Again after the democracy in 1951 , the country was overruled by the King – monarchy called as Panchayat system. (The 1990 People's Movement (Nepali: जनआन्दोलन (Jana Andolan)) was a multiparty movement in Nepal that brought an end to absolute monarchy and the beginning of constitutional democracy.
As a political history Nepal is still to be a free Democratic country with a Constitution. The growth of cultural religious and festive history was rich back in the 1900's. We now can only see the traces.
THE NEPALESE CULTURE
What we identify as Nepalese culture today germinated and developed in the Kathmandu valley at the beginning of the 1st century or probably even earlier. But it was only after the country opened to the outside world with the advent of democracy in 1951, that the world was able to see the grandeur and opulence of Nepalese culture. No doubt, the different ruling dynasties patronized it, but in essence, it has been a people's culture- a culture nurtured by the people through the ages. No cultural takes place in Nepal without the people's mass participation. One can see the spectrum of festivals and rituals that are celebrated almost every other day in some part or the other of the country. In the capital city of Kathmandu, the Newars who make up the indigenous inhabitants of the Kathmandu valley and are best known for their artistic creativity and skilled craftsmanship culture has held a paramount position in their everyday lives.
Cultural tolerance has been the quintessence of Nepalese way of life. Nepal remains one of the most peaceful multi-religious, multi –ethnic and multi-cultural countries in the world. The ethnic unity and religious harmony maintained by the Nepalese against such diversity are truly remarkable and have been acknowledged internationally. Undeniably, this plurality of cultures is what has given Nepalese society its vibrant and lively character.
FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATION IN NEPAL
The official calendar adopted by the Nepalese is the Bikram Sambat (B.S.) The Bikram Sambat New Year beginning with the month of Baisakh (mud-april). For all religious festivals and auspicious personal events and rituals, Nepalese make use of the lunar calendar. Religion plays a very vital role in all festivals in Nepal whether Hindu or Buddhist. One can see a blend of these two religions in most of the Nepalese festivals. Nepalese celebrate festivals with great enthusiasm and elan. It said that hardly a day passes in Nepal without a festival being celebrated somewhere.
Certain festivals are celebrated nationwide, while others are of a local nature, observed within a certain region or community. Based on this, Nepalese festivals can be broadly classified into three categories: those that are celebrated nationwide, regionally or locally, and by the community. Major festivals like Bada Dasain, or Durga Puka, Tihar, or Laxmi Puja, Buddha jayanti, or the birth anniversary of Lord Buddha, Siva Ratri, or the birthday of Lord Shiva, Janai Purnima, Ram Navani and Krishna Janmasthami are celebrated throughout the country.
Some prominent festivals that are celebrated with great fanfare are the Indra Jatra of Kathmandu, Rato Machhindranath Ratra of Patan, Bsket and Bhairav Rath Yatra of Bhaktapur, Ghoda Jatra of Kathmandu Maghe Sankranti, or the first day of the month of Magh, Chandeshwari Jatraa of Banepa, Palanchowk Bhagwati JATRA of Palanchowk, Bhagwati Jatraa of Palpa, Gosainkunda Mela at GosainKunda in rasuwa district and Haleshi Mahadev Mela of Khotang.
Similarly, other noteworthy local festivals are the Ghanta karna, in Kathmandu, chariot pulling festival of the Kumari in Kathmandu, Bajra Barahi Jatra of Tistung in Makwanpur, Janakin Vivaha Panchami in Dhanusha, Triveni Mela in Sunsari, Mai-Pokhari Mela in Ilam, Bhimsen Jatra in Dolaka and Indreshwar Mela in Panauit. Festivals such as Chhath, Fagu Holy (festival of colors) are celebrated regionally. Nepalese festivals are generally woven around the monsoon-driven agricultural cycle, and with rice being the most important staple crop, many of these festivities are observed after the plantation and harvesting of the concerned deities and then sitting for a feast thereafter. A legend or folklore is behind every festival in Nepal.

Q: How to update custom field expando values for all users? I have one boolean custom field expando values for each user.
On certain events I want to update that field.
Currently the below code inside my hook works fine:
for (User user : users) {
    user.getExpandoBridge().setAttribute("myfield", false);
}

And I have tried below code but it wont work:
ExpandoTable expandoTable = ExpandoTableLocalServiceUtil.getTable(companyId);

ExpandoColumn expandoColumn =  ExpandoColumnLocalServiceUtil.getColumn(companyId, classNameId, expandoTable.getName(), "myfield");
ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil.addValues(classNameId, expandoTable.getTableId(),expandoColumn.getColumnId(), classNameId, "myfield");

A: The working code (e.g. the loop) that you give is the solution to your question. If you're looking for a single-SQL instruction to update all of the fields: Note that this might leave stale caches.
If you don't have a large number of users the loop shouldn't run long.
If, on the other hand, you have a significant amount of users, my assumption is that your portal is rather busy - and in this case I'd not like to clear the caches to make sure they're not stale on this single value. E.g. it's better to accept this operation to take a while. Your other option, clearing all caches after changing all values, would make sure to generate a huge performance drop as everything now needs to be loaded from DB.
Now if you told me that your loop runs for 2 days, I might have a different opinion, but your question does not sound like you're in big pain but it's rather about a preference to eliminate the loop.

September 6, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - The European Union (EU) has denied providing any support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) acknowledging support for Sudan's efforts to combat illegal migration and human trafficking.
RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, (aka Hametti) last week said his forces lost about 150 vehicles in patrolling Sudan's border with Egypt and Libya, stressing that Sudan is fighting illegal migration on behalf of Europe.
On Friday, the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/North (SPLM-N) secretary general Yasser Arman said they received accurate information about a plan named "Khartoum Operation" to fund the RSF from the EU money and particularly from Germany besides providing it with logistical support from Italy.
Last May, Sudan organized the "Khartoum Operation" meeting to combat human trafficking with the participation of 65 persons representing European and African countries besides several United Nations agencies and organizations operating in the field of migration and refugees.
Arman stressed the implementation of the plan began since three months ago, saying it allows the RSF protect the border under the pretext of combating illegal migration to Europe besides stopping human trafficking and fighting against terrorism.
"The plan aims to link these forces [RSF] with Europe's interests and to stop [illegal] migration and with (Khartoum Operation) project to stop human trafficking. [it seeks] to confer these forces with an international character to cover up genocide and the killings [campaigns] it carried out against Sudanese civilians with an European and international cover" he said.
He described the Khartoum Operation as the "Satanic Plan", saying its implementation has gone along way particularly with regard to marketing it via media outlets.
However, in a press release extended to Sudan Tribune on Tuesday the EU denied funding the RSF, saying it assists the Sudanese government as part of promoting efforts of African countries to combat illegal migration.
"The EU commitment to enhance cooperation with African countries on migration is firmly anchored within International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law. The EU's assistance to Sudan is delivered at bilateral and regional levels through international agencies and NGOs, not through the Sudanese Government. No support has never been provided to the Rapid Support Forces," said the EU.
The EU said it cooperates with the Sudanese government on projects to tackle the root causes of migration, pointing these " projects contribute to improving livelihoods, stimulating youth employment, and supporting basic services for refugees, the displaced, and host communities".
"At the regional level, EU cooperation is helping to build capacity to prevent trafficking and smuggling of human beings, to enhance international protection of victims of criminal networks, to raise awareness about the perils of irregular migration, and to increase opportunities for labour migration," read the press release.
Earlier this year, the EU granted a €100m development package to address the root causes of irregular migration in Sudan. The financial support came after pledge by the Sudanese government to cooperate with Brussels to stop human trafficking to Europe.
Also, in June 2014 the US Department of State hailed Sudan's efforts in containing and fighting against human trafficking.
Meanwhile, the EU repeated its call on the Sudanese government, political opposition and the armed groups "to demonstrate the leadership necessary to end the conflicts in Sudan, finalise the Cessation of Hostilities agreements and move towards a process of dialogue as a basis for lasting peace in their country".
Last month, the African mediation suspended the latest round of talks between the government and the rebel movements on Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile after the negotiating parties failed to reach agreement on the security arrangements and humanitarian access.
Peace talks are expected to resume in the second week of September.

David Hagerty is the author of They Tell Me You Are Wicked, the first in a trio of political murder mysteries from Evolved Publishing. The novels star Duncan Cochrane, who is convinced he wants to be governor of Illinois until his daughter is killed at their home six weeks before election day. Out of grief and frustration with a stalled police investigation, he uses the bully pulpit of the campaign to seek her assailant. Hagerty has also published more than a dozen short stories online and in print, including "Shutterbugs," which first appeared in Lowestoft Chronicle and will be read by John Haine at Stories on Stage Davis. When he is not writing, he teaches at Sacramento City College.
John Haine will read "Shutterbugs" by David Hagerty. Haine has been in and out of acting since the day he feigned illness so he could stay home from school to watch John Glenn blast off into outer space. After winning a state high school drama festival, and graduating with a B.A. in Theatre Arts from the University of Minnesota, he tried his hand as a professional actor but quickly succumbed to the lure of a steady paycheck. He became a lawyer, and for twenty-five years tried to stay off the stage, but sometimes the lure was too great. He appeared in various community theatres in Minnesota and at the tiny Grand Theatre, where he frequently performed with his wife, Patty, and got the chance to compose and stage his first musical, A Musical Christmas with the Karp Family, co-written with Cynthia Smith. (It was really funny.) Since relocating to Davis three years ago, Haine has appeared with the Davis Shakespeare Ensemble in its outdoor production of As You Like It, and in its repertory productions of Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, She Loves Me, and The Mystery of Edwin Drood. He has also had the good fortune to play some of his favorite roles with the Davis Musical Theatre Company, including Sweeney in Sweeney Todd, Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, and Ben in Follies. By day, Haine now writes and edits books on employee benefits law. By night, he's usually rehearsing or looking for the next show.

Giovanni Ribisi to play the lead in Bryan Cranston's Sneaky Pete
Mike Vago
Sneaky Pete has found its Sneaky Pete. Giovanni Ribisi will star in the CBS drama pilot, produced by Bryan Cranston and House creator David Shore. The show follows a con man who, upon his release from prison, steals the identity of his cellmate to hide out from everyone to whom he owes money. He ends up starting a new life with is cellmate's cousins Julia (The Slap's Marin Ireland), a single mother running a bail bond business, and Carly (Parenthood's Libe Barer), who is "always looking for trouble and finding it." The duo, who are savvy enough to run a bail bonds business but not savvy enough to recognize their own first cousin, help Pete capture criminals worse than himself, because it wouldn't be CBS if there wasn't a case of the week.
The cast also includes veteran character actors Margo Martindale and Peter Gerety as the parents of the two sisters who, again, run a bail bonds business, deal with hardened criminals on a daily basis, but don't have the detective skills to identify their own nephew.

How the Redskins totally botched the Kirk Cousins contract debacle ... again
Charles RobinsonNFL columnist
July 17, 2017, 11:52 PM UTC
One year ago, the Washington Redskins told Kirk Cousins to wait on a contract. Then they complained about his refusal of a team-friendly deal and having to pay Cousins $20 million in 2016 under the franchise tag. One year later? Cousins told the Redskins he wanted to wait. So in true Redskins fashion, on Monday the franchise released a grousing statement, bemoaning the lack of a team-friendly, long-term deal – sealing it with language seemingly meant to frame Cousins as greedy.
Take it all in, folks. Because you may never see a franchise quarterback negotiation this screwed up again. One year ago, the Redskins smacked Cousins with a negotiating stick and expected him to like it. A year later, the franchise handed him the negotiating stick and then complained when he returned the favor.
That's what this all amounts to. The Redskins botched the Cousins talks once. Then twice. And president Bruce Allen topped it off with a statement that might as well have been written on the dirty diaper he filled up when talks failed.
"[D]espite our repeated attempts, we have not received any offer from Kirk's agent this year," Allen's statement read. "Kirk has made it clear that he prefers to play on a year-to-year basis. While we would have liked to work out a long-term contract before this season, we accept his decision."
Note the language: "We accept his decision."
Now consider all of this: In 2016, the Redskins undermined their contract talks with poor incremental offers that were never on par with Cousins' market value. So Washington put the franchise tag on him and asked Cousins to justify a better deal – which he did, while the market for quarterbacks continued to rise. Now in 2017, the Redskins tried to clean up that mess by repeating the same negotiating tactic, offering Cousins a team-friendly, six-year contract with only two years of guaranteed money.
Bruce Allen has been with the Redskins since the 2010 season. (AP)
The telling breakdown: Cousins' new deal would have paid him $53 million guaranteed over the first two seasons. The problem? If the Redskins intend to keep him, that's basically the same amount Cousins is getting no matter what: this year's franchise tag ($23.9 million) plus the 2018 transition tag ($28.7 million).
To put it more precisely, the Redskins offered Kirk Cousins $324,080 more in guaranteed money than he is already slated to get under the next two tags. For that $324,080 in extra money, Cousins would be trading off any shot at free agency and also locking in four additional non-guaranteed contract years of his prime.
In the NFL agent industry, that's a sucker deal, and Cousins' own agent doesn't even need to say it. His competitors were so incredulous on Monday that the Redskins logo could have been replaced with an eye-roll emoji.
And truth be told, why wouldn't Cousins want to wait one season anyway? Barring a significant drop-off in play, he's got a free agent market that is going to be tilting in his favor should he ever be cut loose, to the point that it's conceivable more than one NFL team will offer Cousins a top-three quarterback deal with $25-$30 million in salary and $70-$80 million in guaranteed money. He's bet on himself this far. What's another season?
And lest anyone forget, the Redskins aren't exactly a portrait of calm lately. The franchise just lost its top two wide receivers in free agency. It also fired general manager Scot McCloughan a few months ago in the ugliest of fashions – with someone from the inside sliding anonymous character assassinating quotes into The Washington Post. And not that long ago, the organization didn't seem all that sold on Cousins being their guy anyway, this despite spending several seasons patiently bending over backward for Robert Griffin III during his downward spiral.
Kirk Cousins has chosen not to respond to the Redskins offer. (AP)
So maybe Cousins will be doing a little assessing of his own the next eight months – much the same way the franchise felt the need to measure him in 2016. Maybe he wants to see what a sturdy commitment looks like, or how the brain trust reacts when he hits a rough patch. Or maybe he'd just like to go a season without some anonymous suggestion to the media that the franchise might be just fine with Colt McCoy as the starter.
If that's what Cousins is seeking – a longer look at how the team embraces him – then you can be sure that Monday was another eye-opening moment. Look no further than the Pittsburgh Steelers, who failed to get a long-term deal done with Le'Veon Bell Monday and reacted with this:
"Unfortunately, we were unable to agree to terms on a long-term contract with Le'Veon Bell prior to today's deadline," Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said in a statement. "Le'Veon is scheduled to play this year under the Exclusive Franchise Tag designation. We will resume our efforts to address his contract situation following the 2017 season."
No mention of money. No shady reaction to what Bell didn't take. Just a simple "we didn't get it done" and a move forth toward the season.
Meanwhile, the Redskins and Bruce Allen took another route and another shot. He no longer has the negotiating stick, so he used a news release instead. It backfired, just another mistake-filled iteration in what will go down as one of the most botched quarterback negotiations in NFL history.

The (non-current) financial liabilities can be specified as follows:
Bank facilities
Reclass to Current liabilities
Financing costs
The information below is provided for explanatory purposes with regard to the Vesteda Companies' long-term funding.
The Vesteda Companies obtain their debt funding through various sources:
Bank facilities, comprising corporate unsecured bank funding provided by banks.
Euro Commercial Paper issued by Vesteda Finance B.V. (see Current liabilities)
Bonds, issued by Vesteda Finance B.V. under the EMTN programme.
Private Placements under the EMTN programme as well bi-lateral agreements placed by Vesteda Finance.
Corporate unsecured funding
Vesteda Finance B.V. acts as borrower and issuer of all corporate unsecured debt on behalf of Vesteda Residential Fund FGR. As per 31 December 2019, Custodian Vesteda Fund I B.V. acts as a guarantor for all obligations of the corporate unsecured debt that is borrowed or issued by Vesteda Finance B.V.:
1) Bank facilities
In 2019 the existing 700-million revolving credit facility was amended and extended. A Swingline facility is built into the facility agreement and the first extension option was exercised, extending the maturity date by one year to June 1, 2024. The facility has a 5-year initial term plus two 1-year extension options of which one is exercised. The facility is provided by the lenders ABN Amro, Rabobank, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, ING and SMBC. The remaining legal term is 4.4 years. At year-end 2019, the total facility of €700 million was undrawn. Pricing of the revolving credit facility is subject to a margin grid, whereby an LTV below 27.5% equates to a margin of 0.50%. Utilised commitment less than 33.3% equates to a utilisation fee of 0.10%, and utilised commitments exceeding 33.3% but less or equal to 66.7% equate to a utilisation fee of 0.20%. Utilised commitments exceeding 66.7% equate to a utilisation fee of 0.40%.
In 2019 Vesteda repaid the €200 million revolving credit facility with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) arranged in 2018. A new facility was arranged with SMBC for €200 million which is uncommitted. Being an uncommitted facility it can be terminated at any time, with a Review Date of 31 May 2020. The facility is funded on SMBC's cost of funds plus a margin of 0.50%. The remaining legal term is 0.5 years. At year-end 2019, an amount of €10 million was outstanding and €190 million of this facility was undrawn.
2) Euro Commercial Paper
For the short term funding need, Vesteda introduced the Euro Commercial Paper programme up to €1 billion. Four of Vesteda's house banks act as dealer in this programme. They arrange that the Euro Commercial Paper transactions are distributed to investors. By use of this programme, Vesteda is currently able to fund itself at a negative rate. At year end 2019, this was in use for €215 million. It is required that Vesteda always has sufficient headroom in the Revolving Credit Facility of €700 million, in case Vesteda cannot make use of the Commercial paper market. The total amount of Commercial paper can therefore never exceed the total value of the Revolving Credit Facility.
3) Bonds
In 2019, Vesteda Finance B.V. continued its borrowing of senior unsecured notes that were issued under its programme for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN). Standard & Poor's rated the notes BBB at the time of issuance. The credit rating of the notes was upgraded to BBB+ in 2016, in line Standard & Poor's credit rating upgrade of Vesteda Residential Fund:
The first tranche of €300 million senior unsecured notes, issued in July 2014 and due on 22 July 2019 was repaid early, on 23 April 2019.
A second tranche of €300 million senior unsecured notes was issued in October 2015. The notes pay an annual fixed coupon of 2.50% and are due on 27 October 2022. The intended remaining term to maturity of the notes is 2.8 years.
A third tranche of €500 million senior unsecured notes was issued in July 2018. The notes pay an annual fixed coupon of 2.00% and are due on 10 July 2026. The intended remaining term to maturity of the notes is 6.5 years.
In May 2019 Vesteda issued its first Green Bond for an amount of €500 million in senior unsecured notes. The transaction was more than six times oversubscribed. The notes pay an annual fixed coupon of 1.50% and are due on 24 May 2026. The intended remaining term to maturity of the notes is 7.4 years.
4) Private Placements
A €100 million private placement borrowing with funds provided by PRICOA Capital Group under a note purchase agreement. The senior notes have a fixed annual coupon of 3.18%, payable on a semi-annual basis and are due on 8 May 2021. The intended remaining term to maturity of the notes is 1.4 years.
A second €100 million private placement borrowing with funds provided by PRICOA Capital Group under a note purchase agreement. The senior notes have a fixed annual coupon of 1.80%, payable on a semi-annual basis and are due on 16 December 2026. The intended remaining term to maturity of the notes is 7.0 years.
A third tranche of 100 million private placement borrowing in senior unsecured notes under its programme for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN). Standard & Poor's rated notes BBB+ at the time of issuance:
A tranche of €35 million senior unsecured notes pay an annual fixed coupon of 1.899% and are due on 15 December 2027. The intended remaining term to maturity of the notes is 8.0 years;
A tranche of €65 million senior unsecured notes pay an annual fixed coupon of 2.478% and are due on 15 December 2032. The intended remaining term to maturity of the notes is 13.0 years.

Millennials and the World of Work: An Organization and Management Perspective
Journal of Business and Psychology
2010 Purpose The purpose of this article is to provide a contextual overview that illustrates and illuminates some of the defining characteristics of the Millennial generation. This study offers a framework for understanding the most compelling issues organizations face in their efforts to effectively incorporate the generation currently entering the workforce. Design/Methodology/Approach This is a review and commentary that links together current research on Millennials in the workplace into a cohesive narrative, supplemented by several short business case studies and the authors' own research, insights, and experiences working with Millennials in a university. Findings This article explores the ways in which college-educated members of the Millennial generation approach the world of work, especially in the context of their particular relationships with technology and institutions. Drawing on our experience as educators, we share our observations, along with those of others, highlighting organizational best practices when we have encountered them. We have grounded our thinking in the context of research and surveys about this population, including our own work, and examined the particular behaviors that seem to be most relevant to the tasks of recruiting, managing, and developing the generation now entering the workforce. Implications While cross-generational workplace tensions are neither new nor likely to dissipate, we believe that additional insights gained by exploring this complex and sometimes paradoxical generation will facilitate the ability to tap into their many abilities and talents. Originality/Value This article sets aside the question of whether there are genuine differences in values across generations and instead examines two compelling factors that differentiate Millennial behaviors in the workplace. The first is their incorporation of technology as a "sixth sense" and as a fully integrated means of interacting with the world. The second is their expectation of organizational accommodation, stemming from their prior experiences and the degree to which institutions have made themselves malleable to the needs and desires of this cohort. Although much has been written about Millennials in the workforce, this approach provides a unique and nuanced understanding of the genesis of certain sets of behaviors and expectations.

Amoxil is a form of penicillin antibiotic that's designed to combat bacteria. The generic name for it is (amoxicillin). Amoxil is made use of in order to help treat different forms of infection brought on because of bacteria. Some examples would include tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, gonorrhea, and infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract. In some instances it can also be used in combination with other antibiotics.
One example of this would be the antibiotic clarithromycin (Biaxin). In this case the two can be used together in order to offer treatment for stomach ulcers brought on because of Helicobacter pylori infection. There are other uses for this medication not mentioned here, but will be determined by a doctor.
Is Amoxil is an antibiotic you can decide to stop using if it's working really well shortly into treatment or should you only do this once a doctor has decided if it's okay?
Depending on the infection you have you will be given a specific amount of this treatment that should be enough to fully treat it. A doctor will do their best to not prescribe more or less than what's needed. The reason for this is because they want to make sure your bacterial infection is properly treated and they don't want to over prescribe you the medication. Because this would increase the possibility of certain problems. One of them would be overuse. In the case of you using the medication too much you run the risk of causing certain bacteria to develop a resistance to it. When this happens you'll find that should you have a similar infection in the future it's going to be much harder to treat it.
You would have to use other antibiotics, ones that might carry a higher risk of unwanted side effects. But even if you don't overuse the medication there can still be problems. In the case of stopping usage when you're initially prescribed a course of Amoxil (because your condition is improving way faster than a doctor thought it would) you would run the risk of having the bacterial it's fighting only being partially killed off. This means they have a chance to come back and this time they would be resistant to a certain degree.
You don't want this. Yes, when you use Amoxil it will work very well to improve your condition. You'll want to monitor your results and report them to a doctor just to let them know how you're coming along. However, you want to make sure you use the entire course of treatment the doctor gives you. This will ensure you've properly treated the bacterial infection and that it's not only partially treated. Some people (those who have used this in the past) might already have a level of resistance. A doctor would need to know this in advance in order to come up with the proper plan to counteract this.

Olympiapark
1972's formula of success
The Olympiapark (Olympic Park) in Munich is a shining international example of how to create a successful legacy for Olympic facilities.
info@olympiapark.de
Olympic organisation committees, most recently teams from Brazil and Tokyo, visit Munich time and again on the hunt for the recipe for success used in 1972. The large park, inspired by the hilly landscape of the Alpine foothills, can be explored on foot or by bike.
Olympiaturm (Olympic Tower)
The 190-metre platform in the Olympiaturm (Olympic Tower) affords spectacular views over the city all the way to the Alpine peaks.

The Olympic Stadium was the focal point of the 1972 Summer Games in Munich and is now one of the city's modern landmarks. Photo: Frank Stolle
The hill in the Olympic Park is a popular vantage point: when the foehn is blowing, you can see the Alps particularly well here. Photo: Dominik Morbitzer

The perfect end to a spring cycling trip: the evening view from Olympiaberg. Photo: Dominik Morbitzer
If you want a more relaxing way to see the park, take a trip on the miniature railway which runs around the grounds. Depending on how adventurous you are, you may be brave enough to tackle a roof climb across the Olympic Stadium's canopy top, before rounding off the experience with the zip line over the arena or an abseil down the 40-metre drop into the stadium.
Olympiapark München (Olympic Mountain)
Towering over the Olympiasee (Olympic Lake) is the Olympiaberg (Olympic Mountain), which was built out of the wreckage and ruins of the Second World War. The Olympia-Alm is the city's highest beer garden, the perfect place to lift your spirits all year round. You may even be lucky enough to eavesdrop a concert by an international star playing in the Olympic Stadium.
Sporty or cultural – there is something for everyone
As has always been the case, events are still held the whole year round in the Olympic Stadium and Olympic Hall, the settings for the 1972 Summer Olympic Games. Major cultural and sporting events attract tens of thousands of visitors each year. The park is also home to two other attractions: the Sea Life centre and the Ausstellungssommer exhibition hall.
Video: simply Summer Night's Dream Olympiapark
The Olympic Eissportzentrum (Olympic Ice Sport Centre) is open for ice skating all year round. If you fancy a spontaneous swim in the Olympia-Schwimmhalle, there is no need to worry – you aren't expected to be a world record breaker like Marc Spitz. Like many other Olympic icons of his generation, the seven-time gold medal winner of the 1972 Summer Olympics remains true to the site of his victories to this day.
Good to know: Munich Card holders are entitled to a reduced fee for the ascent to the Olympic Tower and the Park Railway. If one owns the Munich City Pass, both are free of charge. No matter which card you choose, the public transport is included.
