Your guide to the Women's World Cup 2019
The women's game continues to gather steam with more coverage, more commentary pieces, and more press about stemming the tide between men's and women's football.
Since 1991, the Women's World Cup has been fundamental in doing so, and this year it is France who host the tournament for the first time. We take you through all you need to know about the tournament.
When does the tournament start?
The tournament starts on Friday 7 June as hosts France take on South Korea. The final is on Sunday 7 July.
Where will the action take place?
In France. There are nine cities that will host the games: Paris, Lyon, Rennes, Nice, Montpellier, Grenoble, Reims, Le Havre, and Valenciennes. The final will be played in Lyon's Stade de Lyon.
What time are the games?
It varies. During the Group Stage, there are three games on each day. These will be played at 2 PM, 5 PM and 8 PM. At the Knockout Phase, games will be played between 4.30PM and 8 PM. The final kicks off at 4 PM.
Who is playing?
There are 24 teams playing from six continents. Most of the top 20 ranked teams made it to the tournament, including England, Brazil, Scotland and Germany.
Who are the favourites?
The USA team are the clear favourites. The USA won the last Women's World Cup in 2015 and have won the trophy more times than any other country (3). Behind them, England are amongst the favourites for the tournament. Hosts France have never gone beyond a semi-final but hope the home advantage may break that duck. Germany, semi-finalists last time out, are also in the mix.
When do the home nations play?
You can find the games below.
9 June: England v Scotland | 5 PM | Nice
14 June: Japan v Scotland | 2 PM | Rennes
14 June: England v Argentina | 8 PM | Le Havre
19 June: Japan v England | 8 PM | Nice
19 June: Scotland v Argentina | 8 PM | Paris
How can I watch it?
BBC Sport will have live coverage of every game throughout the tournament. You can watch on BBC's TV, radio, the Red Button and online.
Who should I look out for?
Already a legend of the women's game, Brazil's Marta has won the world's top female player a record six times and is the tournament's leading goalscorer on 15 goals. Aside from veteran Carli Lloyd, USA will rely on Julie Ertz whose intricate passing and scoring ability sets her apart from many, despite being a defensive midfielder/centre back. England will rely on Barcelona forward Toni Duggan and Chelsea' Fran Kirby to score the goals.
What's all this about the Legends Squad?
FIFA have assembled some of the biggest World Cup stars of past tournaments in both the men's and the women's games. The 23-strong squad of FIFA Legends have had a superhero makeover and the aim for the Legends is to promote both the World Cup and the women's game generally. You can find who's taking part here.
Heading out to France to catch the action? Let us sort out your travel insurance for you and we'll let you know our tip for the tournament.
If you're planning on showing the games at your bar or pub this summer, we can ensure you're not at a loss if somebody takes a tumble with public liability cover, event insurance and more.

Homage to Delia Derbyshire
Sunday, 24 November 2019 - Reported by Chuck Foster
DR Publications have released a homage to Delia Derbyshire composed by Roger Reynolds in celebration of Delia Derbyshire Day, which took place on Doctor Who's anniversary.
Roger says of his work:
I have always thought that Delia Derbyshire never received the recognition due to her for that amazing Doctor Who Theme. And so I decided to concoct a musical piece, as an "Homage" to her, something embodying that enigmatic theme but using today's digital technology.
I had been working on the "Homage to Delia Derbyshire" for quite a while, without knowing that 23rd November was "Delia Derbyshire Day.
That the final version of my Homage was ready, i.e. completed slightly ahead of time, and just happened to coincide with this specific date is, well, absolute serendipity.
As are my compositional preferences, the piece is, at times, multi-layered using concurrent fragments of the theme played against each other using different instrumentation.
It's best heard (I think) turned up loud with the sound just washing over you.
The composition comes in two versions, one for headphones and one for speakers: both can be listened to via the DR Productions website.

BBC Radiophonic Music album re-release
Wednesday, 20 February 2019 - Reported by Chuck Foster
The 1968 album BBC Radiophonic Music is to re-released in March on digital and vinyl by Silva Screen.
The album was the tenth released by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and featured electronic works by composers John Baker, David Cain and Delia Derbyshire.
Widely regarded as a major influence on the development of electronic music worldwide, BBC Radiophonic Music is a compilation of short works, often composed as intros to various radio or television programs. Conceived in a time when analogue sampling meant hours of slicing tape with razor blades, BBC Radiophonic Music is brimming with zippy themes, unsettling atmospherics, riffs, loops, clicks and beeps. Insanely catchy yet deeply sinister, this is 'collage music', produced, according to Desmond Briscoe of BBC Radiophonic Workshop,"with the intention of entertaining rather than informing".
This is an essential album for analogue and TV theme obsessives, and anyone with an interest in contemporary electronica; mysterious, eccentric and celestial, it is a celebration of one of the UK's most treasured and unique institutions.

Big Finish - Sixth Doctor Meets the 80s Cybermen
Thursday, 3 May 2018 - Reported by Marcus
Doctor Who News can today reveal that Big Finish are bringing back the 1980s Cybermen in Hour of the Cybermen, a Sixth Doctor tale out this July.
The story, written by Andrew Smith, and starring Colin Baker, sees the return of two 1980s Doctor Who television actors reprising their roles as Cybermen, with David Banks as the Cyber Leader and Mark Hardy as the Cyber Lieutenant.
Answering a call from UNIT, the Doctor arrives in London to find the streets deserted, apart from looters in possession of a valuable commodity – water.
Britain is suffering an extreme and bizarre drought. The cause is suspected to be extra-terrestrial.
The discovery of a signal being transmitted into space, and of a spacecraft whose crew are desiccated corpses, provides a possible answer. But the true enemy is an old foe of the Doctor's.
The Cybermen have been patient, setting their plans in place over a number of years. As the final stage is implemented, in the darkest hour, the Doctor must identify who among his allies he can trust.
Also in the cast are Frog Stone as Riva, Blake Harrison as Daniel Hopkins, Wayne Forester as Captain Reaver and Russ Bain as Lewis Price.
The release will reveal what has happened to the new UNIT team since the events of the Fifth Doctor and The Helliax Rift and whether they trust this latest regeneration.
You can pre-order Hour of the Cybermen now at £14.99 on CD or £12.99 on download. All CD purchases unlock a download option via the Big Finish app and the Big Finish website.
You can save money by getting a subscription to the Doctor Who Main Range. When you subscribe you'll get 30% off the price, free specially recorded Short Trips stories, PDFs of the scripts, and extended downloadable extras. You can subscribe for either 6 or 12 releases.
Out this month in the Doctor Who Main Range, the Sixth Doctor has a new companion, Mathew Sharpe – space pilot in The Lure of the Nomad.
For thousands of years, it has drifted through space, unimpeded, forgotten, seemingly lifeless. Now, finally, it has been discovered.
Responding to a distress call from the mysterious hulk, the Doctor and his companion, space pilot Mathew Sharpe, walk into a desperate situation. The multi-tentacled semibionic Makara were tasked with renovating the abandoned craft, but now they've begun murdering their employers.
The Doctor soon realises that the Makara have been programmed to kill, but by whom, and for what reason? Finding out the truth will mean uncovering a secret that threatens the entire universe.
And next month, the Sixth Doctor visits the Industrial Revolution in Iron Bright.
It's London, 1828, and the father-and-son team of Marc and Isambard Kingdom Brunel, are masterminding a dangerous project – the digging of the Thames Tunnel. There's just one problem...
The Brunels' tunnel is haunted. Every night, a spectral blue lady walks the excavation.
Now, the 22-year-old Isambard, eager to step out of his famous father's shadow, finds himself dealing with not only the supposed supernatural, but a second unexpected guest – a colourful trespasser who calls himself 'the Doctor'.
Isambard would like to know a great deal more about this strange man and his mysterious blue box...

Series 9 Soundtrack Details
Tuesday, 3 April 2018 - Reported by Marcus
Silva Screen will release the soundtrack to Series 9 of Doctor Who on 27th April 2018
Premiering in September 2015, the ninth series of Doctor Who featured Peter Capaldi in the title role in his second season. This four-part collection features general cues on discs one and two, the complete score from the episode Heaven Sent on disc three and on disc four the Christmas Special, The Husbands Of River Song.
Five-time BAFTA nominee Murray Gold recently confirmed that he is stepping down from composer duties on the show after 12 years of providing some of the finest music to be heard on contemporary television.
It's one of the last great morality tales out there but it also celebrates life. For that reason I think it's a great show for kids. I couldn't write this much music for it if I didn't feel that way.
Underlining the breadth of Gold's composing skill across over 149 minutes of music, this album is also the 12th Silva Screen release of his music since the 2005 Doctor Who revival.

Plainview Planning promote land as potential strategic development sites on behalf of landowners and developers.
Plainview Planning works closely on a range of land promotion projects with our sister company Context Land. Established by our founders, Ian & Emily Woodward-Court, Context works with landowners on developments that are sensitive to their location and will benefit both existing and future communities.
Context funds the process of bringing suitable sites forward for development, both via acquiring planning permission or Local Plan site allocation. By partnering with landowners, Context takes on the financial risk by funding the elements necessary to gaining that valuable permission, bringing in experts where required for aspects such as surveying, ecology, design, landscape, transport & legal.
Generally these are longer term projects and there are certain criteria that do need to be met but Context are always happy to discuss potential sites and are always straightforward with their initial research and findings.
With successes in projects ranging from a 105 home development in Essex to a single rural dwelling in the Cotswolds, Context work closely with landowners to unlock the value of their site and meet local community needs for development.

New Whale And Dolphin Centre Launched On Isle of Mull
Environment, News Add comments

With thanks to Richard Bunting, Director, Richard Bunting PR.
A new marine wildlife visitor centre has been launched in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull by conservation charity Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust – to strengthen conservation action for whales, dolphins, and porpoises, and to develop the Hebrides' appeal as a wildlife tourism hotspot.
The Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Centre on Tobermory's picturesque harbour front was formally opened this month, and will be a learning, training and volunteering hub, as well as providing a major attraction for visitors, including families and children.
The building's transformation has been funded as part of a grant of almost £220,000 from the UK Government's Coastal Communities Fund. The fully renovated and extended centre features information on sightings of cetaceans – the collective name for whales, dolphins and porpoises – interactive exhibitions, displays and a gift shop.
"Our new centre aims to put Mull and the Hebrides even more firmly on the map as a key destination to enjoy and discover world-class marine biodiversity – which in turn will boost conservation, and could bring significant economic and social benefits to the region," said Alison Lomax, Director of Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust.
The centre was recently launched with a celebratory event attended by dozens of guests from across the UK, including conservationists, scientists, volunteers and local businesses.
The trust's previous shop and visitor centre attracted 26,000 people in 2015 – a figure that Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust hopes will now rise significantly.
With Western Scotland's seas being one of Europe's most important cetacean habitats, the charity believes that developing sustainable marine wildlife eco-tourism is a major opportunity, as demonstrated by the benefits of white-tailed eagles to the local economies of Mull and Skye.
So far 24 of the world's estimated 92 cetacean species – including many national and international conservation priority species – have been recorded in the region, and fascinating new discoveries about these populations are constantly being discovered.
The Coastal Communities Fund has also enabled the trust to carry out an innovative Sea Change project across the Hebrides over the past two years, to strengthen people's connections to the sea in remote island communities. This has involved engagement with thousands of people, through roadshows, community visits, liaison with wildlife tourism businesses, and dozens of events.
Responsible whale watching, WiSe (Wildlife Safe) accredited, training has been provided for 23 tour boat operators, while local people have been able to develop skills through the trust's Community Sightings Network – through which people can report sightings of cetaceans, helping to map their distribution.
Sea Change has been carried out on Mull, Coll and Tiree, Islay and Jura, Colonsay, Barra, Small Isles (Eigg, Muck, Rum, Canna), Mallaig and Arisaig, North and South Uist, Harris, Lewis, Gairloch and Skye.
The Coastal Communities Fund has also funded a refurbishment of the trust's research yacht, Silurian, aboard which marine scientists and volunteers conduct surveys monitoring cetaceans each year. More than 90,000km of Hebridean seas have been surveyed and over 18,000 individual cetaceans recorded so far – significantly extending scientists' knowledge and understanding, and informing long-term conservation initiatives.
Paying volunteers are being recruited for the trust's 2016 expeditions onboard Silurian, working alongside marine scientists. For details, email volunteercoordinator@hwdt.org, call 01688 302620 or visit www.hwdt.org.
The Coastal Communities Fund was created to direct regeneration investment to seaside towns and villages to help rebalance local economies, reduce unemployment and create work opportunities for local young people.

I was really happy with this one for two reasons-first, I thought it ended up looking rather nice. More importantly, if memory serves, I did this towards the end and was able to pull it off in less then a day and that's where the improvement really showed itself.
And the after image. I really wish I could go more into my process of how I did this, but truth be told-it's been nearly half a year since I worked on it and I really can't remember any of the details. Damn nondisclosure agreements until the movie comes out...oh well-just enjoy the before and afters, and use your imagination for process.


Click here for our current Lenticular-Special-Offer.
Lenticular technology is a high resolution imaging process that enables us to produce visual effects such as flip animations or 3D images.
Before initiating the design process and image selection, it is necessary to decide which lenticular foil to use. According to the application of the end product you can choose between 40, 50, 60, 62, 75 and 100 lpi foils. The difference between these foils is the number of lenses per inch and the thickness of the foil. For example, the most commonly used foil of 75 lpi has a thickness of 485 my.
The image selection, choice of effect and the processing are fundamental aspects of a successful production.
When creating a flip-effect (image swap) there must be at least 2 image sources for the effect to be prominent. In our experience, 3 images (complete image swap) is the maximum number recommended for a successful flip-effect.
Morph effects can only be created with the use of special software. The goal is to create a smooth, realistic transition between a source image and a target image. For instance, it is easier to morph a human face into another human face, as opposed to a face into a chair.
Text, especially in smaller sizes, can be difficult to read due to the lens structure, in particular when the text is part of the animation, or visual effect.
To create animations, transitions or 3D-effects from Photoshop images, a special step-by-step procedure is undertaken.
The reverse side of the sheet can also be printed upon, personalized or even equipped with an adhesive surface.

The distinction between sex and gender is attributed to the anthropologist Margaret Mead (Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, 1935). Sex is the biological category, whereas gender is the culturally shaped expression of sexual difference: the masculine way in which men should behave and the feminine way in which women should behave. It is emphasized by de Beauvoir that in this system woman is the Other: the kind of person whose characteristics are described by contrast with the male norm. It is a central aim of much feminist thought to uncover concealed asymmetries of power in differences of gender, and to work for a society in which the polarization of gender is abolished.

Chiloé Island
Myths of Chiloé
Buried Treasures
Chiloé abounds with stories of buried treasure, and of the fortunes made by people who have seen the flames and followed the trails to find riches buried by the Spaniards, or by rich tradesmen who found no better way of guarding their wealth than by burying it, and then died without revealing their secrets.
During St John's night (mid-winter) flickering flames are said to appear in the countryside, indicating the site of a buried treasure trove. If the flame is red, the treasure is of gold, if white, then it is silver. When you discover the existence of a buried treasure you should take a lighted candle with you.
Place it on the ground and where the candle starts to sink into the earth indicates the exact spot where the treasure is buried. When you go to dig up the treasure, take nothing with you that has been blessed, because then the treasure will move or disappear. When you are digging, you must not name God or any of the saints as the treasure will move. You may see visions of monstrous animals, snakes and skeletons, and hear the clanking chains and the weeping and wailing of souls in torment. If in the fright produced by these visions you name God or any of the saints, the hole where the treasure is buried will fill up with excrement.
When you open the iron chest or pot, do not breathe the vapour from the silver or the poisonous gases from the buried jewels or coins. To be unharmed you must throw a black cat or dog into the hole. Anyone who does not do this and breathes the gases will die within a very short time.
The Caleuche
A magic or phantom ship which sails the waters to the south and east of CHILOE. It comes to the aid of boats which are adrift, and is crewed by sailors who have been drowned or lost at sea.
This mythical ship appears on dark nights and is only seen clearly lit up when you are close enough to hear the song of Chilote Marin.
Invunche
The Ivunche guards the entrance to the cave of the Wizards of Quicavi. It is a new-born baby stolen or given by a wizard, which is brought up in the cave where it becomes deformed with one foot growing out of its back.
It is fed on goat's milk and decomposed meat, and when it has grown big enough it is set to guard the entrance to the cave where the wizards of Chiloé gather to work spells and cures and cast the evil eye.
This creature with a snake's body and a chicken's head, born from the egg of an old hen or a solitary cock, is a parasite on the sick. It hides under wooden houses and feeds on the energy of sick people, sucking their phlegm and leaving them without the energy or desire to move.
Their bodies start to dry and shrivel to a skeleton and they die in their beds in agony.
Pincoya
A goddess of the sea and of fertility, gay and sensuous and endowed with dazzling beauty. The Pincoya lives on rocky shores, or rises from the depths of the ocean. She appears robed in seaweed.
At certain stages of the tide the goddess dances her fertility dance while singing a song which captivates the fishermen, announcing scarcity or abundance, depending on which way looks as she dances; if she looks towards the sea, the catch will be abundant, but if she looks towards the mountains the catch will be bad. Men are entranced by the sensual dance of the Pincoya…
Trauco
This famous little man, with his horrible face and his clothes made of quilineja (a local shrub), lives in the forests of Chiloé. He is a great seducer and carries an axe in his hand with which he beats the trees, making a sound which attracts women.
Enchanted by his magic, they fall unresisting at his feet. The old women say that when the Trauco chooses his bride he takes her off into the forest to make love to her.
The Horse of the Sea
This prodigious horse of Chiloé witchcraft is big, ugly and very strong. The thirteen wizards of the "mayoría" can ride in comfort and safety on its back. It is more than twelve fathoms long and may be over four fathoms high.
It is the wizards' means of transport to the phantom ship. When they need it they go down to the beach and call it up by a special form of whistle, to which it comes at once. When the journey is done, a slap on the rump sends the horse back to the depths of the sea.
You may see it appear as you round a point on the coast, dripping with water as it returns from the bottom of the sea after its task is done with the "pelapechos" of the Caleuche.
If the Horse of the Sea is seen close to the fishing enclosures, it augurs a shortage of fish in the enclosure before long.
A very tall woman, dressed in black and with her head covered by a shawl to hide her face. As she walks her petticoats rustle, and she shows her bare feet, white as milk. She appears in lonely places and is the terror of the beaches.
She goes out at night and roams the roads looking for lovers. She pursues good-looking young men and creeps up on them unawares, embracing them from behind and bewitching them with her breath. Once she has one powerless, she takes him to her hut and forces him to satisfy her repeatedly. At dawn she leads him far away from her dwelling and abandons him.
After a few days the young man recovers his reason. She also has a passion for horsemen, leaping up onto the croup of their horses, embracing them and trying to bewitch them. If the rider is immune to her breath, she grips his neck and strangles him. She has a habit of prowling around houses, but if anyone meets her and talks to her she melts into the shadows and disappears.
Wizard (Calcu, Pela Pecho, Mal Cristiano)
The wizard is the enemy of "clean" people. His power is tremendously strong and he has an incredible ability to transform things or people, astounding even the most incredulous.
The wizards of Chiloé form an institution known as the "recta provincial" which has its main home or "mayoría" close to the village of •Quicaví. It is here that they hold their "aquelarres" (wizards' meetings) quietly and without interruptions, since they are guarded by the Invunche.
A wizard must comply with certain requirements in order to belong to the "mayoría" and practice his art. They can be recognised as follows: throw a handful of chaff onto the brazier and if someone sneezes he is a wizard. He can be eliminated by being caught in the act of casting his spells, and in that case he will die within a year.
Fiura
A repugnant women, small in stature and with disgusting breath. She lives in the forests, not far from the "Hualdes". She is coquettish and wears bright, eye-catching clothes. She often bathes in springs or waterfalls, where she takes great delight in combing her long, thick hair with a crystal comb. After bathing she spends hours sitting naked on the moss.
She is the feminine manifestation of evil and tireless lover of unmarried men. She takes pleasure in speaking ill of anyone who rejects her, whether an animal or a human being, torturing them with her breath. The Fiura has great powers of seduction, and once her sexual appetite is sated she drives her unfortunate lover to madness. The power of her breath can produce sciatica, and leave animals crippled. If someone wishes to make fun of a woman he may call after her "Where are you going, Fiura?"

Q: Edit values in config. file Currently, I'm using ReadFile() and WriteFile() APIs to write & read from file. are there any API functions to replace/edit text if the data is large enough to be written again? I only heard about SetFilePointer() but i'm not quite sure how to use it to replace the text from a file.
For example, select a string/char from file say, value '0' of Key2.
Key1 = 0
Key2 = 0
and change it to '1'.
Key1 = 0
Key2 = 1

A: The functions GetPrivateProfileString and WritePrivateProfileString might be good for this.

A: There are lots of APIs for random access to files. They are all almost completely unsuitable for dealing with text files.
Consider if instead of changing 1 digit, you changed from 1 to 2 - i.e. from 1" to "20" you would have to implement not only the "efficient" random access way of doing things, but also the "inefficient" re-write the file way. As you only ever really want one way of doing things, the "inefficient" one is the one to go for.

A: For text files, it's the best choice to read them into memory, do your work, and write them back. for example, read the file contents into a std::string, look for Key2 = and replace the rest of the line with the new value. Then save the string again. You can use std::ifstream to read from a file without a single WinAPI call.

In This Together: CAS Joining Forces with Researchers and Data Scientists to Accelerate COVID-19 Treatments
With more than 1.4 million confirmed COVID-19 cases (as of April 9, 2020), and many more likely going untested, researchers around the world are racing to find solutions to this daunting challenge. Approved drugs are being explored as treatments for those afflicted, vaccines to prevent the long-term spread are in development, as well as many other efforts beyond drug discovery. To keep frontline healthcare professionals safe, manufacturers are reimagining production processes to make critical supplies, such as hand sanitizer and mask filters, testing methods are being optimized to be faster and more accurate, materials for new germ-resistant masks are being developed and new systems to sterilize medical equipment are being designed.
The scientists and technologists at CAS are all-in to conquer this challenge as well. As part of the global scientific community, we have an opportunity, and frankly an obligation, to do everything in our power to tackle this global pandemic that is significantly impacting so many lives. Aligned with our mission as a division of the American Chemical Society, we are leveraging all of our resources, expertise and capabilities to support this fight. As a specialist in scientific information solutions, we are providing resources and insight to accelerate COVID-19 research and analysis and are actively consulting with research and technology organizations around the globe to accelerate their efforts. Yet every day we ask ourselves, is there more we can do?
A new normal, but the same quality and commitment
The COVID-19 crisis is presenting unique challenges for everyone around the globe, including scientific researchers, patent offices and journal publishers. At CAS, our top priorities remain ensuring the success of our customers and the continuity of our operations, as well as the safety and well-being of our employees through this challenging time.
CAS is committed to maintaining the comprehensiveness and timeliness of our content collection that all of our customers depend on despite these unique circumstances. To ensure we can continue our normal curation process uninterrupted, all of our scientists have successfully transitioned to a 100% work from home model. Working in this manner is not new to us, as some of our content team has been working off-site for years. This existing infrastructure ensured a seamless transition for our team, allowing the timeliness and quality of our data collection, as well as the availability of our solutions, services and support, to continue unchanged from pre-COVID-19 levels.
Unique resources and insight accelerating COVID research
To ensure our customers working directly on COVID-19 treatments have the most up-to-date information, CAS scientists have mobilized to expedite inclusion of relevant research into the CAS data collection that underlies our information solutions, including SciFindern and STNext®.
Our solutions, which span the innovation lifecycle, are uniquely able to accelerate COVID-19 related research and development. SciFindern allows researchers to mine the rich history of relevant literature on related viruses, such as SARS and MERS, identify existing approved therapies with potential activity against COVID-19, and optimize synthetic pathways to ramp up production of drugs facing shortages. Formulus® reduces formulations iterations to get therapies and vaccines to market faster, and STN helps IP professionals explore the landscape surrounding a wide range of potential solutions.
COVID-19 Reference from CAS SciFinderⁿ
Our team of information scientists is also building specialized open-source data collections to support research, data mining, machine learning and analytics applications. The initial data set made available to the public last week is comprised of nearly 50,000 known antiviral drugs and related chemical compounds assembled from CAS REGISTRY®, as well as related metadata including CAS Registry Number®, physical properties and connection tables for each substance. It was the first chemical substance collection contributed to the Allen Institute for AI's COVID-19 Open Research Dataset "CORD-19".
Learn more about the CAS COVID-19 Antiviral Candidate Compounds Dataset and download it here.
CAS scientists also recently published an open access Research Report in ACS Central Science summarizing insights from relevant published literature related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2. Topics included clinical manifestations and treatment options, viral structure and mechanisms, antiviral agents, and diagnostics. Because SARS-CoV-2 is similar to other coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV, therapies previously explored for these other viruses could also be applicable to SARS-CoV-2. I highly encourage everyone to read and share this information.
In ThisTogether ̶ CAS expertise is at your disposal
With a rapidly evolving and complex challenge like COVID-19, custom support is often most effective. To whatever extent the capabilities and expertise of CAS scientists and technologists are valuable to augment your COVID-19 research efforts, they are available to consult with you at no charge. Our team includes hundreds of scientists speaking over 50 languages with expertise in a wide range of scientific disciplines, as well as information management, advanced analytics, predictive synthesis, and much more. Possible opportunities include using our expert search service to get needed answers or analysis quickly, requesting custom-curated data sets relevant to a target of interest, or collaborating with our scientists on a challenging formulations problem.
Truly, whatever we can do within our capacity to contribute to your efforts related to COVID-19, we are prepared to undertake. If there are additional ways CAS can help you advance your research, we welcome your outreach to the CAS Customer Center.
On behalf of all of us at CAS, we wish you and yours the very best as we all navigate this unprecedented and difficult time. Stay safe and be well!

Here's one of the most important of all the Ten Principles of Yoga . . . enjoying oneself.
We practice yoga for various reasons – to improve our physical and mental health, to relieve stress, to become more centered. But what good is it if we don't enjoy the process?
Do you love coming to yoga class? Do you look forward to it each day/week because it makes you feel good? Then while you're in class, take a moment to relish this sense of enjoyment – telling yourself "this" is what I love about yoga . . . whether it's the opening stretches or Moon Salutation or rest pose. Taking note of the things we enjoy makes our lives that much more pleasant.
Sure there will be times in yoga class when you don't love what's happening – we all have our "least favorite poses." There's nothing wrong with not liking a pose – (as long as you still at least try once to do it, or a modified version of it). I've found that the poses I dislike the most are the ones I need more than anything.
I've learned something over the years that can be applied to practically every situation, on or off the mat. If you're stuck doing something – whether it's frog pose or window washing or navigating a traffic jam – try to find a way to enjoy it. If there's no clear way to "get out of it," why waste energy hating what you're doing? Instead, seek to find some joy in it, some benefit, no matter how small. Hating it while you're stuck doing it will only make you more miserable.
Finding enjoyment in all the little things we do in life is a valuable practice – especially when we're challenged to find enjoyment in a root canal, for example, or a long wait at the doctor's office. But it can be done! And you'll have so much more peace of mind if you do it . . . or at least try.
Nice blog about the Enjoyment of yoga classes. Yoga not only helps to keep the body fit and healthy but it helps us to sooth our body mind and soul. Yeah I love to come the yoga classes I enjoy it very much.
Very thanks for this valuable blog.


Like all leather, this takes time to work in. I am still waiting for it to feel like my old one (all worn in and soft). I'm working on it. Love the color and the size.
The wallet came beautifully packaged, so that makes it a great gift! More compartments than I know what to do with, but I decided to fill them with gift cards. It can even hold my phone (Galaxy S8+)! The leather is of great quality and can be carried instead of a purse in my opinion. I love it!
Very nice wallet. I'm excited about the RFID protection. I only wish it had a wrist strap. Also, it is priced very well.
Great to have all my cards in one place. Previously, I had to carry cards in another RFID along with my wallet and checkbook. This is a great all-in-one.

Q: NodeJS : How to save a rendered view as a static .html file? i'm using NodeJS for a school project and I have to generate a dynamic html page with Express and swig variables. But here comes the problem: I have to save the rendered view with the variables replaced by their content as a static .html file.
I tried to read the documentation about FS but I found nothing about taking a whole html page and put the html code inside a file. The only way I found was to "Right-click" and "save as" but that's not how I'm supposed to do it.
Any ideas or suggestions for how to do this?

A: If you are using swig templating engine then we need to get the output of the Swig template first:
var swig  = require('swig');
var template = swig.compileFile('/path/to/your/template.html');
var output = template({
    foo: 'bar'
});

Now that you have the output, we can use fs to save the html:
var fs = require('fs');
fs.writeFile("/path/to/destination.html", output, function(err) {
    if(err) {
        return console.log(err);
    }

    console.log("The file was saved!");
});

Side note: Swig is NOT MAINTAINED anymore and has got security holes.
