Q: How can I rewrite this code to work faster? I have the following nested loop. Basically, it counts the number of simultaneous occurances of i and j in various lists (m), and if they both do indeed exists in it, counts the number of times they simultaneously exist (n) in another set of lists.
C = np.zeros((N,N))
for i in range(N):
    for j in range(i+1,N):
            n = 0
            m = 0
            for p in partitions:
                if(i in p["indices"] and j in p["indices"]):
                    m += 1
                    if(p["groups"][list(p["indices"]).index(i)] == p["groups"][list(p["indices"]).index(j)]):
                        n +=1
            C[i][j] = n/m

"partitions" consists of 100 dictionaries and N = 150, so it takes quite a while for this code to finish. Is there any way of speeding this up?

A: I wrote several things but this is a better idea:
At the moment you are repeatedly doing a search using for in blah and blah.index(). Besides the fact that one search could be done to account for those two, there's also repetition because values of i and j overlap, leading to multiple searches for the same values. You can do all this one time up front and save the results in a dictionary and then just look them up later.
At the beginning of the code you can do a loop. Something like:
searches = dict()
for p in partitions:
    #Assuming p isn't repeated
    searches[p] = dict()
    for i in range(N):
       try:
           searches[p] = p["indices"].index(i)
       except ValueError:
           pass

C = np.zeros((N,N))
for i in range(N):
    for j in range(i+1,N):
            n = 0
            m = 0
            for p in partitions:
                if (searches[p].get(i) and searches[p].get(j)):
                    m += 1
                    if(p["groups"][searches[p].get(i)] == p["groups"][searches[p].get(j)]):
                        n +=1
            C[i][j] = n/m

I'm a little fuzzy on whether using p as your dictionary key is a good idea, since I'm not sure of the type. If not, you can create a p_index to use like searches[p_index], but then you have to alter both for p in partitions loops and make sure they use the same p_index order. Hope that makes sense.
There's probably also a way to use bisect instead of the index() calls at the top if the p["indices"] lists are already sorted. For what it's worth I think it's still faster to take the time to sort them up front and do a bisect than to do linear searches with it unsorted.

Austria Votes to Ban Glyphosate
By Eric Sfiligoj|July 8, 2019
Glyphosate may have the majority of scientific evidence behind its safety record, but governmental support in some countries doesn't seem to be following suit. Last week, the government of Austria voted to enact a total ban on the use of the popular herbicide.
"The scientific evidence for the plant poison's carcinogenic effect is increasing," said Pamela Rendi-Wagner, the leader of the country's Social Democrats and sponsor of the bill to ban glyphosate, in a released statement, referencing the one 2015 World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer report that said that the herbicide was a probably carcinogenic. "It is our responsibility to ban this poison from our environment."
If the new bill is passed, the ban would take effect starting on January 1, 2020. However, many legal experts believe such a ban by Austria would conflict with established European Union (EU) law because glyphosate has been approved for use by member states until December 2022. For its part, Bayer responded to the ban with a statement saying that it expects the European Commission to review the Austrian decision "critically, as it may be inconsistent with mandatory legal and procedural requirements and scientific reasoning."
Will other countries follow Austria's glyphosate ban example?
Maybe a few in the EU
Now in the grand scheme of things, Austria's usage of glyphosate is almost negligible, since most of the country's farming tends to employ organic practices. However, for Bayer, the fear would be if other European countries copied this approach that runs contrary to established EU laws. For instance, France has gone as record saying it wants to ban glyphosate use in its country. Other EU members however, such as Ireland, have said their legislative and regulatory bodies will continue to rely on "expert guidance and monitor international peer-reviewed scientific evidence" regarding glyphosate usage in its country.
It will be interesting to see how all this glyphosate usage debate plays out throughout the EU over the next few months. However, no matter what ultimately happens, the attacks against the popular herbicide are likely to continue for some time to come . . .

TRANSFORM! with Creative Europe Desk UK
A virtual conference focused on transforming the cultural conversation
Cross-sector
The arts, everywhere: bringing culture online
by CreativeEurope DeskUKPosted on November 19, 2019 November 19, 2019
Hear from digital art agency The Space's Chief Exec and Creative Director Fiona Morris about bringing art to a wider audience, how artists can make the most of these developments, and her thoughts on the future of art in the digital age.

Over 30 years after the launch of the world wide web, online initiatives such as the Google Arts & Culture project, are making high-quality artworks available online, allowing anyone, anywhere to experience visual culture from their desktop or smartphone.
Cultural institutions are capitalising on this new demand for digital experiences. Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum has created travelling immersive exhibitions such as Meet Vincent Van Gogh, featuring videos, reproductions and interactive installations, which aim to bring audiences closer to the artist's life and work. Cultural organisations are also embracing the web as a tool for encouraging audience participation. The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has been at the forefront, from staging A Midsummer Night's Dream for social media audiences, to creating digital avatars for the stage.
Working to increase online audience access to the arts, The Space connects institutions and artists with digital technologies and solutions. Founded by the BBC and Arts Council England, the organisation has worked with cultural partners across the UK to rethink the ways in which art can be made, shared and experienced digitally. We spoke to The Space's Chief Executive and Creative Director Fiona Morris about how they've brought art to a wider audience, how artists can make the most of these developments, and her thoughts on the future of art in the digital age.
Could you tell us about The Space and what you do?
We work primarily with arts organisations, using digital technologies and online platforms to increase their audience reach and impact. We help them make the most of the opportunities that digital technologies present, and in turn increase their sustainability.
In the past three years, we have commissioned more than 200 projects and reached audiences exceeding 20 million through web and broadcast. We want to increase access to artworks that would otherwise be inaccessible for many people due to factors such as cost, disability and geography.
I firmly believe that technology should be used to enhance the artistic experience – improving engagement, rather than being used for its own sake.
Fiona Morris, Chief Exec & Creative Director of The Space
What effect has the web had on the creation and presentation of art?
First and foremost, art can now be shared more widely. Cultural organisations are able to produce great art and distribute it online, potentially to a global audience, which can be transformative for those trying to raise their profile. Audiences are discovering and talking about work online, and sharing it across their networks. This not only helps organisations expand their audiences, but also has an effect on the range of art that can be created, the ways in which it can be created, and by whom. There is no aspect of artistic practice that isn't being revolutionised by the web and digital technologies.

Tell us about some of the projects The Space has commissioned…
Steering away from the usual apps, websites, games and VR experiences, our digital commissions need to be original, have artistic merit and offer a truly compelling user experience. Here are a few of our recent commissions:
Playcraft Live was the world's first play designed, developed and performed in the online video game Minecraft. It was simultaneously performed on stage at The Playhouse in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, combining real and virtual worlds for a live and online audience. The work was conceived with the web in mind, and the international audience it could serve. It was seen by approximately half a million people on the night of the performance – and hundreds of thousands more since.
Project Adrift enabled users to adopt a piece of space debris and interact with it in real time via Twitter. The use of live data allowed participants to message the debris and receive a response, and the often-humorous comments posted on Twitter by each piece of debris provided both a narrative and a personality with which users developed a personal connection.
SculptureCam is Yorkshire Sculpture Park's web-based app that allows visitors to explore, photograph and interact with the sculptures via their phone. Visitors match the sculptures they see with a silhouette frame on their screen, take a photo and then are rewarded with a 360-degree animation of the object. Meanwhile, their photograph contributes directly to an online archive of photographs of the collection – a valuable educational resource.
100 Masters is a project created by Creative Black Country to identify contemporary skilled craftspeople from the Black Country – an area of the West Midlands in central England – and inspire future talent. We worked with them to develop the digital arm of the project, creating a series of short videos that have had over 10 million views in the first six months. We're really excited that the project went on to win the 2018 European Youth Award for Open Innovation
Watch more about the Sculpture Cam app for Yorkshire Sculpture Park
How can artists and arts organisations harness the digital revolution? What skills are needed?
Artists and organisations need to understand their existing and potential audiences' behaviour online and in a global context. We now have the ability to track our audiences digitally, identify trends and gather feedback, giving us an insight into the types of work they want to see, share and comment upon. We also have the ability to target and tailor content to specific platforms, engage with online communities and make use of influencers – all vital tools for connecting art with people with whom it will resonate.
It's also important for arts organisations and artists to consider how this information can be used to help them build on their existing work, and to be prepared to test and iterate in a way that works for them and their audiences.
Which new technologies that will shape the way art is made or experienced particularly excite you?
I am very excited about the opportunities that immersive and interactive technologies are presenting around storytelling and narratives. We are looking forward to seeing what the future of this kind of work might look like. That said, the user experience is paramount – the story and concept should always lead the way, rather than the tech. I firmly believe that technology should be used to enhance the artistic experience – improving engagement, rather than being used for its own sake.

The American dream! Dest's commitment a much-needed win for struggling USMNT
Written By Ryan Tolmich

S. Dest
For weeks it appeared that there was only one ending to the Sergino Dest saga. Eligible to represent either the Netherlands or the U.S. men's national team, the Ajax fullback was seemingly facing a decision that was not much of a decision at all.
On one hand, you had the Netherlands, the country where Dest was raised that just so happens to have one of the best national teams in the world.
On the other you had the USMNT, a team that has been languishing in limbo for the better part of two years. Unlike the Dutch, who used their missed World Cup as an opportunity to grow, the U.S. had seemingly fallen even further behind its local rivals.
And then came the surprise, one that could just be vital in reenergizing and rebooting a U.S. program that needed a moment like this more than anything.
Dest announced on Monday that he has committed his international future to the USMNT, continuing his career with a national team program he has been with since Under-17 level. The 18-year-old, who has broken through with Dutch powerhouse Ajax this season, has cemented his international future with a decision that stunned many for a variety of reasons.
From a purely sporting perspective, it is hard to justify Dest's choice. It is no big shocker to state that the Dutch team is significantly better than the USMNT right now. Should he have chosen the Netherlands, Dest would get to play alongside the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong for a team that seems poised to rejoin Europe's elite. As an Ajax player, that experience seemed invaluable, and also much closer to Dest's home base, preventing the long journeys to and from North America.
Playing for the Netherlands would also have given him a different set of opportunities. Having international caps for the Netherlands on your resume is viewed much differently than having appearances for the USMNT. At club level, playing for the Netherlands could have opened different doors for the 18-year-old fullback, and likely added a few extra numbers to his pricetag should he ever leave Ajax.
But it appears that was not all that Dest valued. The teenager, instead, says he went with his gut, making a decision that was based on comfort that had been built up in his years within the U.S. program.
"I have played there throughout the youth teams and they embraced me from an early age," Dest told Ajax TV. "In the Netherlands, you would play among the best players in the world and they have a great team. That would have been amazing. In the end, it was a decision based on feelings and emotions, and therefore, I chose Team USA. "
It is a much-needed victory for a USMNT program that can use all of the wins it can get right now.
The talent pool appears as weak as its ever been, as there is a notable gap between the old guard and a new generation that is not quite ready for the international game. The recent loss to Canada illustrated that more than anything. There is talent coming through the ranks, including the likes of Josh Sargent, Timothy Weah and, now, Dest, but that talent has not yet shown it is ready to turn promise into success at the international level.
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/GOAL/11/d/sergino-dest-ajax-2019-20_1gnoqubin2z4qzvj59cesd9no.jpg?t=-280443051&w=500&quality=80
In Dest, the USMNT get a young prospect, yes, but one that has been proving himself at the highest level. He has shone for Ajax, becoming a regular starter for a team that was one of the best in Europe last season. There is a reason Ronald Koeman and the Netherlands were interested, and that reason is that Dest has been very, very good. He is a legitimate starter on a Champions League team and, for a program like the U.S., those do not come around all too often.
Even so, the key is to remember that Dest's switch should be viewed as more micro than macro. Dest's decision is a win, yes, but the 18-year-old is no savior. He is a teenager playing at a very high level, but still a young player with lots of growing to do. His two USMNT performances in September showed that. There is potential, but no guarantee.
And the same can be said of all other dual nationals currently in the pipeline. Many players, Jonathan Gonzalez chief among them, have been forced into their own decision. Dozens of young players will face this choice in the coming years, and plenty will not choose the way Dest did.
This was one individual choice, one which Gregg Berhalter and Earnie Stewart clearly handled well. Stewart, a former Dutch-American dual national himself, had a remarkably similar story, and he admitted that the decisions are rarely straightforward.
"We are excited that Sergino will continue with our program," Stewart said. "In all of our discussions, Sergino expressed the comfort he feels within the group and his appreciation for the commitment the Federation has made along the way. As a dual national myself, I understand the choices that these young players face. Our job is to provide a clear pathway and maintain honest and open communication, and then ultimately it comes down to a personal decision."
Dest's personal decision has been made and his career will be tied to the USMNT. He will be ready to join the squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Canada and Cuba in what would be his first official matches in a USMNT shirt.
Will it be a turning point? That remains to be seen. Will other USMNT-eligible stars follow Dest in creating a youth movement? We cannot be sure.
But, for now, the USMNT has every right to savor a much-needed moment of positivity while regaining just a little bit of hope that more moments could very soon be on their way.

Борис Алексеевич Сини́цын (11 августа 1953, Бородино, Одесская область) — советский футболист, защитник, российский футбольный тренер. Заслуженный работник физической культуры Кабардино-Балкарии, заслуженный тренер Башкортостана.

Биография
На детско-юношеском уровне выступал за одесский «Черноморец», кировоградскую «Звезду» и ленинградский «Зенит». Во взрослом футболе дебютировал в середине 1970-х годов в ленинградском «Динамо», вместе с командой стал победителем зонального турнира второй лиги 1976 года. После этого имел несколько предложений от команд высшей лиги, но предпочёл перейти в ростовский СКА из первой лиги, где закрепиться не сумел. Впоследствии выступал за «Ростсельмаш», «Спартак» (Нальчик), «Динамо» (Ставрополь), «Север» (Мурманск).

В 1980-х годах тренировал юношескую сборную Ростовской области, становился серебряным призёром всесоюзного турнира «Трудовые резервы» (1986, 1989), чемпионом Спартакиады народов РСФСР (1989). С начала 1990-х годов работал с клубными командами Первого и Второго дивизионов России. В 1995 году вывел нальчикский «Спартак» в Первую лигу. В 1999—2000 годах возглавлял латвийский «Вентспилс», становился серебряным (2000) и бронзовым (1999) призёром чемпионата Латвии. С командой «Содовик» в 2001—2002 годах дважды был серебряным призёром зонального турнира второго дивизиона. По ходу сезона 2003 года «Содовик» лидировал, одержав 13 побед в 15 матчах. Перед выездом на гостевые игры группа футболистов «Содовика» выразила вотум недоверия тренеру, подписавшись под заявлением, которое было отправлено генеральному директору клуба. В результате Синицын покинул Стерлитамак и со второго круга сезона-2003 возглавил челябинский «Лукойл», с которым занял 2-е место («Содовик» закончил сезон третьим). На следующий год работал в челябинском клубе спортивным директором. Последним клубом Синицына стала белорусская «Белшина», где тренер возглавлял дублирующий состав.

Личная жизнь
Супруга Лидия (дев. Коростелёва) — гандболистка, мастер спорта международного класса, выступала за сборную СССР. Старшая дочь Анастасия также профессионально занималась гандболом, мастер спорта России международного класса. Есть младшая дочь Елена.

Q: find the multiple occurrence of a word in a string using regular expression in php I am trying to find the multiple occurrence of a string and also need to find the string after the word which is matched.
I will explain you clearly.
First  :
$string  = "Apple = A fruit which keeps u healthy\n Ball = Used to play games  \nApple = A fsadasdasdit wasdashich keeps u healthy\n";
$keyword = "apple";
$pattern = '/^.*?\b'.$keyword.'\b.*/i';
$res = preg_match_all($pattern , $string , $matches);
print_r($matches);

Here, I am trying to find the occurrence of apple in the string. But, it is showing only the first word apple. but it is not showing the second word.
Second : If I found all the words which matches the keyword. I need the string after the word.
That means,
Here, Apple matches two times
first time if the keyword matched, I will get this Apple = A fruit which keeps u healthy .
Now, I need to store A fruit which keeps u healthy in one variable.
second time again the apple matched here, I will get Apple = A fsadasdasdit wasdashich keeps u healthy\n and I need to store A fsadasdasdit wasdashich keeps u healthy in another variable.
Please help me in doing this. Thanks in advance!

A: You need this regex:
'/\bapple\W*(.*)$/mi'

And your desired string is available in matched group #1.
Online Demo: http://regex101.com/r/nV2mI8
Code:
$re = '/\b' . $keyword . '\W*(.*)$/mi';
$str = 'Apple = A fruit which keeps u healthy
Ball = Used to play games
Apple = A fsadasdasdit wasdashich keeps u healthy';

preg_match_all($re, $str, $matches);

A: Try this one:
$pattern = '/.*?\b'.$keyword.'\b.*(?=[\n\r]|$)/i';

I have removed the ^ from the beginning of your regex. And added a lookahead (?=[\n\r]|$) at the end to see whether it is followed by a newline or end of string.

Cardiovascular Responses During Downhill Treadmill Walking at Self-Selected Intensity in Older Adults
Mandy L. Gault, Richard E. Clements and Mark E.T. Willems
Cardiovascular responses of older adults to downhill (DTW, –10% incline) and level treadmill walking (0%) at self-selected walking speed (SSWS) were examined. Fifteen participants (age 68 ± 4 yr, height 1.69 ± 0.08 m, body mass 74.7 ± 8.1 kg) completed two 15-min walks at their SSWS (4.6 ± 0.6 km/hr). Cardiovascular responses were estimated using an arterial-volume finger clamp and infrared plethysmography. Oxygen consumption was 25% lower during DTW and associated with lower values for stroke volume (9.9 ml/beat), cardiac output (1.0 L/min), arteriovenous oxygen difference (a-v O2 diff, 2.4 ml/L), and systolic blood pressure (10 mmHg), with no differences in heart rate or diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure. Total peripheral resistance (TPR) was higher (2.11 mmHg) during DTW. During downhill walking, an exercise performed with reduced cardiac strain, endothelial changes, and reduced metabolic demand may be responsible for the different responses in TPR and a-v O2 diff. Future work is warranted on whether downhill walking is suitable for higher risk populations.

Measuring Lifting Forces in Rock Climbing: Effect of Hold Size and Fingertip Structure
Roger Bourne, Mark Halaki, Benedicte Vanwanseele and Jillian Clarke
This study investigates the hypothesis that shallow edge lifting force in high-level rock climbers is more strongly related to fingertip soft tissue anatomy than to absolute strength or strength to body mass ratio. Fifteen experienced climbers performed repeated maximal single hand lifting exercises on rectangular sandstone edges of depth 2.8, 4.3, 5.8, 7.3, and 12.5 mm while standing on a force measurement platform. Fingertip soft tissue dimensions were assessed by ultrasound imaging. Shallow edge (2.8 and 4.3 mm) lifting force, in newtons or body mass normalized, was uncorrelated with deep edge (12.5 mm) lifting force (r < .1). There was a positive correlation (r = .65, p < .05) between lifting force in newtons at 2.8 mm edge depth and tip of bone to tip of finger pulp measurement (r < .37 at other edge depths). The results confirm the common perception that maximum lifting force on a deep edge ("strength") does not predict maximum force production on very shallow edges. It is suggested that increased fingertip pulp dimension or plasticity may enable increased deformation of the fingertip, increasing the skin to rock contact area on very shallow edges, and thus increase the limit of force production. The study also confirmed previous assumptions of left/right force symmetry in climbers.

Kinetics of Crimp and Slope Grip in Rock Climbing
Andreas Schweizer and Robert Hudek
The aim was to investigate differences of the kinetics of the crimp and the slope grip used in rock climbing. Nine cadaver fingers were prepared and fixated with the proximal phalanx in a frame. The superficial (FDS) and deep (FDP) flexor tendons were loaded selectively and together with 40 N in the crimp grip (PIP joint flexed 90°/DIP joint hyperextended) and the slope grip position (<25° flexed/50° flexed respectively). Five different grip sizes were tested and the flexion force which was generated to the grip was measured. In the crimp grip the FDP generated more flexion force in small sized holds whereas the FDS generated more force in the larger holds. During the slope grip the FDP was more effective than the FDS. While both tendons were loaded, the flexion force was always greater during crimp grip compared with the slope grip. The FDP seems to be most important for very small holds using the crimp grip but also during slope grip holds whereas the FDS is more important for larger flat holds.
The Effect of Magnesium Carbonate (Chalk) on Geometric Entropy, Force, and Electromyography During Rock Climbing
Matthew A. Kilgas, Scott N. Drum, Randall L. Jensen, Kevin C. Phillips and Phillip B. Watts
Rock climbers believe chalk dries the hands of sweat and improves the static coefficient of friction between the hands and the surface of the rock. The purpose of this study was to assess whether chalk affects geometric entropy or muscular activity during rock climbing. Nineteen experienced recreational rock climbers (13 males, 6 females; 173.5 ± 7.0 cm; 67.5 ± 3.4 kg) completed 2 climbing trails with and without chalk. The body position of the climber and muscular activity of the finger flexors was recorded throughout the trial. Following the movement sequence participants hung from a standard climbing hold until they slipped from the climbing structure, while the coefficient of friction and the ratio of the vertical forces on the hands and feet were determined. Although there were no differences in the coefficient of friction (P = .748), geometric entropy (P = .359), the ratio of the vertical forces between the hands and feet (P = .570), or muscular activity (P = .968), participants were able to hang longer after the use of chalk 62.9 ± 36.7 s and 49.3 ± 25.2 s (P = .046). This is advantageous because it may allow for prolonged rests, and more time to plan the next series of climbing moves.
A Direct Comparison of Short-Term Audiomotor and Visuomotor Memory
Amanda M. Ward, Torrey M. Loucks, Edward Ofori and Jacob J. Sosnoff
Audiomotor and visuomotor short-term memory are required for an important variety of skilled movements but have not been compared in a direct manner previously. Audiomotor memory capacity might be greater to accommodate auditory goals that are less directly related to movement outcome than for visually guided tasks. Subjects produced continuous isometric force with the right index finger under auditory and visual feedback. During the first 10 s of each trial, subjects received continuous auditory or visual feedback. For the following 15 s, feedback was removed but the force had to be maintained accurately. An internal effort condition was included to test memory capacity in the same manner but without external feedback. Similar decay times of ~5–6 s were found for vision and audition but the decay time for internal effort was ~4 s. External feedback thus provides an advantage in maintaining a force level after feedback removal, but may not exclude some contribution from a sense of effort. Short-term memory capacity appears longer than certain previous reports but there may not be strong distinctions in capacity across different sensory modalities, at least for isometric force.

Facilitation of a Hand Muscle Response to Stimulation of the Motor Cortex Preceding a Simple Reaction Task
Nick J. Davey, Steve R. Rawlinson, David W. Maskill and Peter H. Ellaway
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex was used to produce compound motor evoked potentials (cMEPs) in the first dorsal interosseus (FDI) muscle. The size of cMEPs was measured as an index of corticospinal excitability before and after initiation of a simple reaction task (SRT). The SRT, consisting of an abduction of the right index finger against a vertical support in response to a 1 kHz cueing tone, was performed in 6 healthy male subjects. cMEPs were facilitated when timed to occur just before the fastest simple reaction time (fSRT). When the cMEP was placed 15.5 ± 1.5 ms before the fSRT, its amplitude increased to 176 ± 36% of the control response seen in the relaxed state (no SRTs). Facilitation of the cMEP increased to 382 ± 43% of the control when it was placed 11.9 ± 1.5 ms after the fSRT. The facilitation of cMEP responses prior to the SRT is discussed with particular reference to the premovement potential that may be recorded over the cortex prior to a voluntary movement.

Slow Motor Performance in Girls with Turner Syndrome Is Not Related to Increased Neuromotor Noise
Maria W.G. Nijhuis-Van der Sanden, Edwin H.F. Van Asseldonk, Paul A.T.M. Eling and Gerard P. Van Galen
This study examined the relationship between decreased speed-accuracy tradeoff and increased neuromotor noise in girls with Turner Syndrome (TS). Fifteen girls with TS and 15 age-matched controls performed isometric force contractions with both index fingers separately at 5 force levels, based on their maximum voluntary contraction. The results revealed that (a) groups did not differ in speed-accuracy tradeoff or neuromotor noise, (b) output-variability increased linearly with force level, (c) signal-to-noise ratio changed according to an inverted U-shaped function, (d) broadening in the frequency profile is highest at the lower force levels, (e) with increasing force level, the power peak in the 0–4 Hz domain dominates, (f) frequency profile broadens more in the dominant hand. These findings suggest that, in girls with TS, motor performance is not diminished in an isometric force task, that motor recruitment is intact, and that neuromotor noise is not increased. The findings are discussed with respect to motor control and neuromotor noise.
Controlling Reaching Movements during Self-Motion: Body-Fixed versus Earth-Fixed Targets
Etienne Guillaud, Martin Simoneau, Gabriel Gauthier and Jean Blouin
The control of goal-directed arm movements performed during whole-body displacements is far from being understood. Recent studies suggested that the compensatory arm movements that allow individuals to preserve hand-in-space trajectory during unexpected body motion are controlled by sensorimotor, automatic-like processes. We tested this hypothesis comparing both the accuracy of movements directed towards body-fixed or Earth-fixed target during body rotations and the amount of interference of the reaching tasks on a concurrent cognitive task. Participants reached for a memorized 55 cm distant straight-ahead target in darkness which was about 20 cm lower than the initial finger position. The target was either body-fixed or Earth-fixed. At reaching onset, participants could be rotated in yaw. The concurrent task consisted of a verbal reaction time (RT) to an auditory stimulus. RTs increased when participants reached for the target while they were rotated. However, this increase was not significantly different for body-fixed and Earth-fixed targets. Reaching accuracy was greater for body-fixed than for Earth-fixed targets. A control experiment suggested that the errors in the Earth-fixed target condition arose from a difficulty in the organization of movements which necessitate both the production of active forces at the shoulder joint (to compensate for body rotation) and a concomitant decrease of muscular activation to lower the arm during reaching movements. These findings suggest that reaching for Earth-fixed or body-fixed targets during body rotation cannot be considered as being purely automatic tasks.
Postural Control in Down Syndrome: The Use of Somatosensory and Visual Information to Attenuate Body Sway
Matheus M. Gomes and José A. Barela
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of visual and somatosensory information on body sway in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Nine adults with DS (19–29 years old) and nine control subjects (CS) (19–29 years old) stood in the upright stance in four experimental conditions: no vision and no touch; vision and no touch; no vision and touch; and vision and touch. In the vision condition, participants looked at a target placed in front of them; in the no vision condition, participants wore a black cotton mask. In the touch condition, participants touched a stationary surface with their right index finger; in the no touch condition, participants kept their arms hanging alongside their bodies. A force plate was used to estimate center of pressure excursion for both anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions. MANOVA revealed that both the individuals with DS and the control subjects used vision and touch to reduce overall body sway, although individuals with DS still oscillated more than did the CS. These results indicate that adults with DS are able to use sensory information to reduce body sway, and they demonstrate that there is no difference in sensory integration between the individuals with DS and the CS.
Age-Related Decline in the Rate of Force Development Scaling Factor
Maria Bellumori, Slobodan Jaric and Christopher A. Knight
Physical quickness is less in older adults with implications for fall prevention, movement initiation, and activities of daily living. The purpose was to compare control of rapid contractions in young and older adults within two diverse muscle groups: powerful elbow extensors (EE) and dexterous index finger abductors (IFA). Most-rapid force pulses to a variety of levels were recorded and peak force and rate of force development (RFD) were analyzed with linear regression. The resulting slope represents the dependent variable of interest, the RFD-scaling factor (RFD-SF). RFD-SF of EE and IFA strongly correlated both overall (r = .87, p < .01) and separately in young (r = .60, p < .05) and older (r = .77, p < .01) adults. RFD-SF values were different between muscle groups (F 1,28 = 19.1, p < .001) and also less in elderly (F 1,28 = 32.6, p < .001). We conclude that RFD-SF provides a sensitive assessment of muscle quickness that can be used to evaluate neuromuscular function in aging humans.

In this context, I was very interested by Kevin Kelly's concept of Lifestreams as presented at the QS conference.
This quote is taken from Ethan Zuckerman's liveblog of Kelly's talk, you can read his full transcript here.
This first sentence seems especially prescient in my opinion. Bodyblogging and related data (GPS coordinates, physical activity sensors) are a new form of media; like existing media forms, the main purpose is to communicate, unlike existing forms of media, it has the potential to communicate as much information to the individual bodyblogger or lifestreamer as to an audience of interested spectators. Allow me to elaborate -if the biofeedback paradigm teaches us anything, it is that many physiological processes are not directly available to conscious inspection and making those processes open to inspection changes the relationship between the person and his or her body. This earlier post from Ute reflected on this kind of mechanic based on her experiences with moodscope and bodyblogging; I also wrote this post about the potential downside of this development. If you are inside this media or stream of data, your level of self-awareness is enhanced which is one route to augmented self-regulation, whether it be anger management, dieting or reducing your experience of stress.
If your data stream is opened up to other technological systems (your phone, your electronic diary, your car, your house), there is enormous potential for implicit monitoring to inform a plethora of so-called 'smart' technology, as they adapt themselves to this data stream. Your mobile could switch to silent mode if you're deep in conversation, your stream of emails could be delayed for five minutes if you are highly engaged with document editing, your music player could select relaxing music if you seem particularly agitated. These systems represent an intersection between bodyblogging and biocybernetic adaptation (i.e. implicit adaptation of software in response to physiology) – in fact, it posits that biocybernetic adaptation will become the dominant paradigm in HCI provided that sensors and associated software become pervasive in modern life.
We're currently working on a project to detect interest levels via psychophysiology. The rationale for this work is based around Herbert Simon's idea that the "cost" of information provision is attention. Given that selective attention is finite but the capacity for technology to present information is almost infinite, it stands to reason that a pre-conscious filter is necessary to shield us from multiple distractions and the threat of perpetual information overload. If we can achieve that function via a bodyblogging system that monitors in order to learn about preferences, and on that basis, to edit your exposure to information on a pre-emptive basis, this is a worthwhile endeavour. In addition, it would yield a record of this process via the bodyblogging data stream that the user can peruse to their heart's content.
It is with some reluctance that I wish to draw an analogy between the common garden snail and adopters of this nascent technology (especially as several are good colleagues), but I think we can compare bodyblogs and lifestreams to the trail of slime left by a snail as it passes through the world. The slime secreted by the snail acts as a record of the journey, it is also a means of transportation for the animal. Data streams of the physiological day also function as a record of the day, quantifying our physical movements as well as fluctuations in psychological states. In a future world, where information technology is constantly crying out for attention, it may also ease our path through the information landscape of virtual distractors without losing mental focus. Given that the original human-tech hybrid, the cyborg, was designed to live in the hostile environmental conditions of space – one wonders if we will require technological augmentation of this kind simply to function in the digital space of the future.
With reference to bodyblogging and physiological datastreams, we're talking about digital embodiment as an overlay on physical reality. There are two levels to this type of data depending upon whether we draw physical or psychological inferences from the physiological data. With respect to location and physical movement, there is a 'bread-crumb' model here where people could elect to anonymously dump data as they pass through a physical location. For instance, I could wear my digital glasses and see an accumulated record of every person's heart rate who had walked up my street or the steps up to my office. There is no reason why I would want to do that as an individual, but for architects or others with an interest in planning public spaces, they may find a use for these data. Similarly, with an eye on research into intelligent cities, it would be interesting to obtain dynamic data patterns from groups of people in order to adapt technology on the basis of populations rather than individuals. As an aside, here is a link to a slideshow from Matt Jones at BERG about people as walking architectures, which touches on this kind of concept, but not for physiological data as such.
A potential strength of representing bodyblogging data as a crowd-sourced aggregation is that this method protects the identity of the individual, provided that the way in which it has been aggregated cannot be reverse-engineered. In addition, like the slime-trails of snails, these data streams can have limited availability and disappear over a period of time, further protecting the privacy of the individual bodyblogger.
The notion of sharing physiological data always raises the issue of privacy. I read David Brin's book "The Transparent Society" some time ago and enjoyed his take on surveillance and privacy, so I was interested by the interview with him here where he talks about the notion of sousveillance, where everyone (citizens, government) is capable of monitoring everyone else. His primary motivation in putting this idea forward is to counteract the use of surveillance technology by government agencies (and now, at least in the UK, journalists) by making the same technology available to ordinary citizens – so in principle, we could eavesdrop on the eavesdroppers. This seems to me to be an exercise in damage limitation rather than a genuine need, i.e. the more citizens know about government, the less potential for government to abuse their powers. With respect to bodyblogging, if we have a scenario where data is being shared in public spaces, we have a sousveillance situation but with the strong positive that nobody can be disadvantaged by the availability of these data if it is impossible to trace it back to the individual. We use a similar system in many psychology experiments where participants are identified by a number that cannot be traced to any record of their name or contact details. The primary directive (it seems to me at least) for data sharing should be that the data cannot be used to exploit an individual and of course that the individual maintains full control and consent over the parameters of data sharing (i.e. sharing is not the default position, it must be selected by the user who gives full consent).
Now, how about the second way in bodyblogging can be shared where we are able to infer psychological meaning from the signals? Here we enter a strange, new world in this case, where digital content equates to a record of our inner life. For many of us, our inner life of thoughts or feelings is something closely guarded and only shared with friends and family members. There may be occasions when we can share these data in order to enhance a shared experience, e.g. white-water canoeing, scary fairground rides, bungee-jumping, networked computer games. These data opens up a parallel world of digital feelings and digital memories, which may diverge in some respects from our literal experiences and recollections. Again, we can hide our data into crowd-sourced databases in order to protect identities or encrypt the data for sharing with a select few. The problem is that interpretation of the signals is bound up with our own identities and the context of our relationships with others. The concept of sousveillance doesn't provide a strong fit with this case, the potential gain of sharing these data does not seem to be there. It also seems to me that bodyblogging for psychological insight is not just a private activity, it is also a retrospective one as exemplified by the affective diary project. One can only imagine the disruptive effect of conducting a conversation with a person whilst viewing a real-time feed of their physiological responses to your own words – fun in a gameplay scenario, not so great if you were asking someone out on a date.
Lifestreaming and bodyblogging are a new form of media that can represent private or shared experiences, the use of this technology has the potential to be beneficial for individuals and groups, regardless of whether users use the resulting data to focus on me or we.

What You Don't Know About Why Don't We's Corbyn Besson
Paras Griffin/Getty Images
By Rachel Chapman/Jan. 17, 2021 3:30 pm EST
The boys of Why Don't We are back! The LA-based boyband made a comeback after a long hiatus with the release of their second studio album, The Good Times and The Bad Ones, on Jan. 15, 2021 (via Paper). The group — that includes members Daniel Seavey, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais, Jack Avery, and Zach Herron — decided to take a break at the beginning of 2020, which due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ended up being longer than they expected. However, Marais told People that the time away from social media allowed the band to "just focus on writing this music and rest."
Now that the band is back and ready to go, it's time for fans to get reacquainted with the boys of WDW, starting with singer-songwriter Besson. He was actually making music before he joined the band and released a single "The Only One" back in 2014 (via Seventeen). Since then, his music has evolved and changed. When Paper spoke with the band about their new album, Besson said getting to write and co-produce music for The Good Times and The Bad Ones "has been one of the most rewarding experiences for [them]."
When Billboard asked Besson what's one thing their fans might not know about them, he said the band really stresses "about small details when it comes to music, merch, etc." They know their fans deserve the best, which is why they're perfectionists.

This isn't the first time Corbyn Besson put a pause on his singing career either. Back in 2018, the WDW member had to have an emergency surgery for an infection in his throat, according to iHeartRadio. The singer spent about two weeks in the hospital, and when he got out, he went on Instagram Live to update his fans on what happened (via YouTube). Luckily, he was able to recover nicely and the boys in the band posted a sweet group pic on their Instagram when they reunited, captioning it, "corb0ne is back."
Another thing fans might not know just by looking at his Instagram is that Besson is said to be dating YouTuber Christina Marie Harris. The two have kept their relationship pretty much under the radar, but have been rumored to be dating since 2016. Besson has even appeared in a few of Harris' videos on her YouTube channel, according to J-14.
J-14 also reported Besson has two younger siblings, Jordan and Ashley, and his favorite food is penne alla vodka, which are just fun facts to know if you're ever doing a Why Don't We trivia night with your friends. Though, their latest album will also tell you a lot about them. When speaking with People, Besson said this album makes him feel super "vulnerable in a way that [he's] never felt before" writing about personal stories, and he thinks that's "cool."


Over the years the dangers and negative health effects associated with mold and materials containing such things as asbestos and lead have heightened our awareness and the need to prevent or manage these contaminates much more conscientiously in the restoration process. In addition to this, buildings constructed prior to 1990 have a greater risk of containing building materials that include hazardous materials and the world of the restoration and insurance industry is very well aware of it.
Understanding and expertise are essential in identifying and reducing the risk and liability associated with restoration when these environmental concerns are present or suspect. The insurance industries knowledge when facing situations that may include these in the restoration process assists in effective communication and realistic timelines, expectations and expenses associated when encountering these on an insured loss.

I was listening to Caleb Miller and he brought up an analogy of a good father. ..
If you have a baby who has just learned to crawl and you are watching him crawl around on the floor. You see your child heading for the stairs ….
Do you as a father wait for the child to fall down the stairs before stepping in or do you be proactive in the situation?
A good parent steps in before there is an issue. Ask yourself, do you think you would have better parenting skills then God? He has made a way, he has already responded and rescued man before we knew there was a danger. He is not a monster waiting to punish those who don't measure up. A good parent loves and takes care of the well behaving and the misbehaving child with the same level of love and affection. You don't have to gain some mystical brownie points before he saves you from falling down the proverbial stairs.
He loves, accepts, and has already provided for his kids.
