Q: how to analyze the difference in figures from year to year This is perhaps a basic question:  I have high school drop out data over a number of years.  There is a significant increase in the percentage of students that dropped out from 2015 to 2016.  I want to be able to explain the increase: was it girls, was it boys, was it school A, school B, etc.  I could calculate the percentage change for each variable, but is there some other way to analyze this?

A: It depends on the data you have available
If you have micro data, i.e. records of individuals, you might want to look into multiple logistic regression, i.e. modelling the probability of dropping out based on various explanatory variables, e.g. gender. It will also allow you to assess if the effect has changed over time.
If you have aggregated data, i.e. tabular data, you might want to look into chi-sqaure test, e.g. to see if there is any differences between drop outs based on gender.

Monocyte News and Research
Higher levels of doublets in flow cytometry indicate tuberculosis or dengue fever
Sorting through individual immune cells is a handy way to see how the body responds to disease. For years, researchers around the world have used a technique called flow cytometry to separate different types of immune cells, such as T cells, B cells and monocytes.
Non-classical monocytes directly involved in regulation of immune response
Non-classical monocytes were long thought to play a purely surveillance role in the immune system. With the aid of a novel marker, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich researchers have now shown that they are directly involved in the regulation of immune response
Researchers uncover new mechanism by which cells communicate in inflammatory processes
A research group from MedUni Vienna and CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has discovered a new mechanism by which cells communicate in inflammatory processes.
Researchers identify macrophages' pathway to nurture PTEN-deficient glioblastoma
A common genetic deficiency empowers glioblastoma to broadcast a molecular message to the wrong type of immune cell, summoning macrophages that protect and nurture the brain tumor instead of attacking it, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report in Cancer Cell.
Study yields insights into evolutionary dynamics between bacteria and human hosts
Researchers have discovered that humans and great apes possess a receptor on their cells that detects metabolites from bacteria commonly found in fermented foods and triggers movement of immune cells.
From PLOS ONE 28 May 2019
Scientists identify target to 'tone down' hyper-active immunity to influenza infection
For most people, the influenza A virus, commonly known as the flu, is cleared from the body by our own immune system.
Researchers discuss how time of day affects the severity of illness
In a review published May 17 in the journal Trends in Immunology, researchers discuss how time of day affects the severity of afflictions ranging from allergies to heart attacks.
Circadian rhythm influences immune responses across a range of diseases
Researchers in Switzerland have conducted a review of studies looking at how circadian rhythm affects the immune response and severity of illnesses ranging from heart attack to allergy.
New findings could be used as vaccination strategy for sexually transmitted infections
In a study published today in the Nature Communications, researchers from King's College London have shown how skin vaccination can generate protective CD8 T-cells that are recruited to the genital tissues and could be used as a vaccination strategy for sexually transmitted infections
HSS researchers provide better understanding of the cellular mechanisms driving rheumatoid arthritis
Newly identified subsets of cell types present in joint tissue in people with rheumatoid arthritis and how they interact may explain why only some people respond to existing medications, according to two studies by co-senior author Laura Donlin, PhD, Co-Director of the Derfner Foundation Precision Medicine Laboratory at Hospital for Special Surgery and collaborating colleagues.
Study suggests new approach to treat renal fibrosis
Renal fibrosis, the abnormal accumulation of fibrotic material within the kidney, hinders kidney function and may lead to eventual renal failure.
High levels of blood lipids may worsen multiple sclerosis symptoms in obese patients
A newly published paper in the Lancet journal EBioMedicine identifies a link between high levels of blood lipids and worsening of disease in multiple sclerosis patients who are overweight or obese.
Single-cell sequencing sheds light on landscape of myeloid cells in lung tumors
The recent emergence of immunotherapy has marked a sea change in research and care for many forms of cancer, bringing new hope to patients and families around the world. For those who respond to treatment, the results can be dramatic.
Unexpected function of enzyme in sounding alarm about liver damage could lead to new treatments
On a normal day, the cells of a human liver do what they do best - making key blood proteins, clearing toxins from the blood and sending their remains down the digestive tract in a never-ending stream of bile.
Immune cells key to predicting outcomes in cancer patients, study suggests
Scientists have identified key changes in immune cells within cancerous tumors that could help improve the development of treatments.
New HIV drug that is like a "Swiss Army knife of immunotherapies"
HIV is a tricky virus that causes a unique phenomenon where the virus hides within the immune cells of patients when they are on treatment with the antiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs. When they are off the drugs, the virus comes back.
New all-in-one immunotherapy approach kicks out hiding HIV and also kills it
In a first on the quest to cure HIV, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health scientists report today in EBioMedicine that they've developed an all-in-one immunotherapy approach that not only kicks HIV out of hiding in the immune system, but also kills it.
Scientists identify new cell population that can help in regenerative processes
When organs or tissues are damaged, new blood vessels must form as they play a vital role in bringing nutrients and eliminating waste. This is the only way for organs and tissues to resume their normal function.
Up-to-date guidance for clinicians to treat HIV-related cardiovascular disease
Since the advent of effective antiretroviral therapy, human immunodeficiency virus infection has become more like a chronic illness.
Research opens up new therapeutic area to better manage chronic inflammatory diseases
Atherosclerosis is a disease defined by the accumulation of fatty deposits called plaques inside the arteries. It is a leading cause of heart attacks and strokes.
Unpleasant experiences could be countered with a good night's REM sleep

Q: no suitable method found to override onmodelCreating .net core 3.0 I have looked at a number of solutions but nothing helped so asking.
I am creating a very simple MvcApp in .Net Core 3.0 and it will be using EntityFramework 3.0 as well. This app is to learn .Net Core 3.0. I am using VS Code Editor Version: 1.40.1.
I have run the following commands (in order of appearance) to install EntityFramework:
>dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
>dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
>dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
>dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet
>dotnet restore

The .csproj file looks like
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design" Version="3.0.0">
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
    </PackageReference>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer" Version="3.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools" Version="3.0.0">
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
    </PackageReference>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet" Version="2.0.3" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

and the ApplicationDbContext look like
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using OneDishParty.Models;

//put the class inside a name space
namespace OneDishParty.Data
{
    //Extend from DbContext
    public class ApplicationDbContext : DbContext
    {
        //put the DbSet for the food items
        public DbSet<FoodItem> FoodItems { get; set; }
        //create constructor to load DbContext Options
        public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options) : base(options)
        {
        }
        //create the onModelCreating and pass in the builder
        protected override void onModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
        {
            base.OnModelCreating(builder);
        }

    }
}

onModelCreating is resulting in no suitable method found to override.
What am i missing here?

A: Change onModelCreating to OnModelCreating. It's a capital O.
Also, always remember the .Net naming conventions.

Fixed general settings of the widgets "Memory Status", "Hard Disk Space Usage", "Network Monitor", "Hard Disk Monitor".
correctly set checked/unchecked state on load.
pavelmos added a reviewer: jriddell.
As far as I can tell, this doesn't work: the listed widgets still have all their configuration pages' checkboxes unchecked after checking some of them, closing the window, and re-opening it. Am I missing something?
Also please change the title to something more descriptive, such as "Show accurate checked state for system monitor configuration pages"
There we go, it works now! Code change looks sane to me.
Please change the title to something more descriptive, such as "Show accurate checked state for system monitor configuration pages". And then we'll wait for a review from a Plasma developer.
The call on line 141 looks superfluous - if there's any change to checked we modify cfg_sources which should trigger the reload.
I have no commit access.
It seems to me that everything is fine.
pavelmos set the repository for this revision to R120 Plasma Workspace.

Socioeconomic Rights in History Network
Rights, Duties and the Politics of Obligation: Socioeconomic Rights in History
Socioeconomic rights have a long but poorly understood history. They are sometimes referred to as 'second generation rights', as twentieth-century additions to core civil and political rights stretching back to the European Enlightenment. Yet, socioeconomic rights – such as the right to work and to subsistence – emerged in the political struggles of the French Revolution and have been repeatedly argued for since then. Although most countries in the world have legally recognized them as 'human rights' by signing the United Nations' 1966 International Covenant for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, they tend not to receive the same degree of legitimacy and visibility as civil and political rights.
This Leverhulme International Network brings together scholars from around the world to explore the history of socioeconomic rights. We will consider representations of them over time as well as the various political and philosophical challenges to them. Their history, we believe, is bound up with other historical dynamics, including notions about 'duties' and 'obligations', theories of political economy, politics (left and right), philanthropy and humanitarianism. While taking a broad view of socioeconomic rights, we will focus especially on health: a topic of government concern since the eighteenth century but one that became understood in terms of civil and human rights in the twentieth.
The network is hosted by the Global History and Culture Centre and European Centre at the University of Warwick. Claudia Stein (History) and Charles Walton (History) are leading it, with support from James Harrison (Law). Network partners include Harvard University (Samuel Moyn), the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Sabine Arnaud), University of Lausanne (Mark Goodale), Leibniz Institute of European History (Fabian Klose) and Sciences Po in Paris (Nicolas Delalande and Paul-André Rosental).

What the Latest Opinion Polls Say About Taiwan March 5, 2019
On November 24, 2018, Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which came to power in 2016, suffered a crushing defeat in the island's "9 in 1" elections. Did this drubbing at the polls reflect a shift in support for the party? Has opinion shifted on other important issues—particularly Taipei's relationship with Beijing?
The discussion below seeks to shed light on these and other questions by comparing findings of the latest Taiwan National Security Survey (TNSS)—which was conducted during January 3-7, 2019—with the TNSS poll of November-December 2017. Since 2002, this survey has been conducted twelve times by the Election Study Center of National Chengchi University, under the auspices of the Asian Security Studies Program at Duke University. Unlike polls that employ "trigger words" and play methodological games, the TNSS polls asks questions using language respondents understand (for example, "one China, different interpretations" instead of "1992 Consensus").
The past year proved to be a disappointment for Taiwan's president, Tsai Ing-wen, and the independence-leaning DPP. Few Taiwanese believe that his or her economic situation is improving. Both surveys revealed that only 6 percent believe they are better off than the previous year, while 28 percent claim to be worse off and 65 percent see no change. Moreover, despite Tsai's opposition, a majority (53 percent) still favors strengthening economic and trade relations with China. And the people who view themselves as both Chinese and Taiwanese continues to inch upward from 40 percent in 2017 to 42 percent in 2019. Those who see themselves exclusively as Taiwanese dropped from 52 percent to 50 percent, while 3.5 percent consider themselves Chinese.
Those satisfied with Tsai's performance continues to hover around 24 percent. However, those dissatisfied with her performance has jumped from 57 percent to 66 percent. And a solid majority (57 percent) continues to support conducting cross-strait relations under the "one China, different interpretations" formula—an arrangement that facilitated a cross-strait détente during the previous administration.
However, the DPP's troubles do not mean smooth sailing for the Kuomintang (KMT), Taiwan's chief opposition party. KMT support rose from 21 percent in 2017 to 28 percent in the 2019 survey, while DPP support dipped from 20 percent to 18 percent. However, a plurality of Taiwanese (45 percent) continues to not identify with either party. Moreover, when queried about possible choices in the 2020 presidential election, most preferred Ko Wen-je, an independent politician (38.7 percent), over Eric Chu, the likely KMT candidate (21.5 percent) and Tsai (15.3 percent). This may signal more of a political "dealignment" than a "realignment."
Turning to relations with Beijing, support for immediate reunification finds no market in Taiwan—it remains below 3 percent. Support for immediate independence also remains in single digits. Rather, most Taiwanese (roughly 33 percent) consistently favor the status quo and prefer to determine Taiwan's future at some later date. And those who prefer the status quo indefinitely dropped 3 points to 23.7 percent. Still, most believe reunification will occur eventually.
Digging deeper, roughly 70 percent still agree that there is no need for declaring independence because the Republic of China (Taiwan's official title) is already independent. Moreover, almost 60 percent in both polls oppose independence if it triggers a People's Republic of China (PRC) attack. And the number who believe the PRC threat is credible has jumped. Roughly 50 percent now believes Beijing will attack if Taiwan declares independence compared to 41 percent in 2017.
Following the DPP's victory in 2016, the percentage of Taiwanese who characterized cross-strait relations as hostile increased markedly. The 2019 poll, however, indicates the trend may have stabilized. A majority agrees that relations are more hostile than friendly, but the number remains steady at approximately 64 percent. And a majority (just over 50 percent) still worries that the independence issue might spark a war.
TNSS polls also include questions about a cross-strait conflict. Both polls (and earlier surveys) found that a plurality (almost 45 percent) plan to "leave the country," "unhappily accept the situation," "hide" or "choose to surrender" if there is war. Furthermore, each poll shows that 23 percent "don't know" how they might respond. Interestingly, a majority believes most Taiwanese will resist an attack. But the polls also indicate that 70 percent think the military cannot win a war. In other words, Taiwanese agree with an argument advanced in David Axe's article, "New Missile Launchers Won't Save Taiwan's Navy," that, in any conflict, "mainland forces will prevail."
Perceptions of an American response to an attack on Taiwan merit discussion. The TNSS polls ask respondents how the United States will react to a PRC attack if Taipei declares independence. In the 2017 survey, most (43.4 percent) thought America will not support Taiwan, while 40.5 percent believed America will commit troops to a conflict. In 2019, however, the number believing Washington will provide troops jumped to 48.5 percent, while the number who think it will not fell to 35.3 percent. If an attack is unprovoked, the percentage of Taiwanese who believe the United States will intervene soars to 60 percent.
The discussion above outlines only some findings in the current TNSS poll and compares them with the 2017 study. A more complete analysis would include other survey results as well. For example, although a majority in both polls favors increasing economic linkages with the PRC, a majority also fears that such dependence will lead Beijing to pressure Taipei into political concessions. And while a majority opposes Taiwan independence if it leads to a cross-strait war, a majority continues to support independence if Beijing renounces the use of force to achieve reunification.
What do the survey results mean? The TNSS survey has raised concerns ever since its initial release in 2002. Some trends are not surprising. Given its uneven performance since 2016, it comes as no surprise that disapproval of the Tsai administration skyrocketed. Moreover, the rise in the number of those who believe the PRC's military threats are credible is understandable given the saber-rattling in Beijing.
Perhaps most worrisome for Americans is a growing perception (or misperception) among some Taiwanese that the United States will support Taiwan militarily even if it provokes a war with a declaration of independence. This shift in opinion might be traced to Trump's recent support, albeit largely symbolic, for Taiwan, the president's often bellicose rhetoric or escalating tensions over trade and other issues. To be sure, the present leadership cohort in Taipei is a sophisticated group and could be cognizant of the fact that there are limits to American military support. Nevertheless, it might be wise policy for a U.S. administration to remind Taiwan's leaders periodically that the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA)—the law that guides U.S. relations with Taiwan—is not an "iron-clad" security commitment.
As President Jimmy Carter observed after signing the TRA, the law only provides a U.S. president with an "option" to go to war to protect the island. And the Taiwanese might also be reminded that politicians in Washington—like their counterparts in Taipei—monitor public opinion and understand that an overwhelming majority of the U.S. public does not want to fight a cataclysmic war with China over Taiwan. Indeed, according to a recent poll conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, only 35 percent of the American people support military action to defend Taiwan if it is attacked.

From a typical "blue" Taiwanese. Greener Taiwanese will not agree with him.
Blue means Kuomintang(China's Nationalist Party) in Taiwan. Green means the Democratic Progressive Party.
If I am from Taiwan, am I a Chinese?
This is what the passport for "Taiwan" looks like:
Notice that it says the "Republic of China" on the cover. As such, the name of the country that I was born in is absolutely China. It may not be the same China that most people are familiar with (the PRC), but it is China nonetheless. Therefore, I am a Chinese.
I also identify as a Taiwanese, but that doesn't mean I support separatism. I live in California right now, and nobody is forced to choose between being a Californian or an American. It's the same way with being a Taiwanese; I absolutely identify with Taiwan as my hometown, but I see it as a part of the ROC, and not an independent country of its own.
But Taiwan is independent! It shouldn't matter if you call it ROC or Republic of Taiwan, because Taiwan is the ROC!
FALSE! This is an extremely common lie told by Taiwanese independence supporters. The ROC does NOT equal Taiwan! Theoretically speaking, ROC encompasses Taiwan, all of mainland China currently under the administration of the government in Beijing, plus a lot of land that are now in Russia (and maybe Mongolia, but I've heard that claim was dropped during Chen Shui-Bian's era).
Even if you argue that the ROC no longer rules over China, it is still false to claim that Taiwan equals ROC. We also rule Kinmen and Lienchiang counties, which are NOT part of Taiwan Province, but under Fujian Province. The people on these islands have been living there for hundreds (and maybe even over a thousand) years before anyone even knew about the existence of Taiwan. The people on those islands are ROC citizens, but they are NOT Taiwanese by any means.
OK, but if you say you're Chinese, then Westerners will confuse you with being from red, communist China!
If that happens, I just explain to them that the ROC is not the "Communist" China, in the same sense that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is not the same as the Republic of Korea.
If they still don't get it and insist that I am from the PRC, then it's not really my problem. My ethnic identity and self worth are not determined by these ignorant outsiders.

I really want to visit Taiwan before it becomes a war zone.
The days are long, but the years are short
A person who supports Taiwan's independence and whose main identity is "Taiwanese".
His ancestors immigrated from Chinese Mainland to Taiwan island during the Qing Dynasty, persecuting Taiwan aborigines. But they were persecuted by Japan in the era of Nazism and KMT who came to Taiwan in 1949.
Just because I don't eat the s**t of Chinese nationalism doesn't mean we should eat the s**t of extreme Taiwan nationalism or western colonialism
1. I personally support democratic movements around the world and oppose China's colonization of Taiwan, so please don't label me "little pink".
2. Taiwan zh Nan conservationists are great and deserve our respect
3. The s**t of colonialism in Greater China is already known to be terrible, so I won't go into details here, so please don't bother China / Republic of China / people's Republic of China colonialism to climax here (if someone thinks this is good, I can add its disadvantages here).
4. Opposing Western colonialism does not mean that I support Chinese colonialism. I think both of them should be concerned and opposed. Some people may think that I am too ideal, but what I say is the truth and just a demonstration of freedom of speech.
If you oppose me for the argument that "Taiwan is an ally of the west", I can only say that you are no different from "political training" or Deng Xiaoping's "theory of getting rich first".
5. I'm just asking questions. How to solve the problem is another matter.
Recently, I saw some "Taiwan factions" and felt that some of them called "decolonizing and building a country" are really a little annoying. Although I also support decolonizing and building a country, their "decolonizing and building a country" is completely turning Taiwan into a hell of Taiwan nationalism + western colonialism.
First of all, what bothers me most is that these people ignore the fact that they are colonists. It's true that the Kuomintang came from 1949 as colonists, but you and some Quanzhang immigrants and Hakka people are also colonists (I'm also a descendant of these colonists). Our colonization and persecution of this land in Taiwan is no less than that of the Kuomintang. I think if we really want to "decolonizing and building a country", we should not only discuss the Kuomintang who came to Taiwan in 1949, the Fujian people who came to Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty Hakka people should also discuss it (I'm not sarcastic). If our "decolonizing and establishing a country" does not discuss the persecution of Qing immigrants to Taiwan at all, but pays attention to the language of this colonist, then why is it necessary for me to "decolonizing and building a country"? We don't need another colonist, we need to decolonize and reconcile ethnic groups.
Then again, we don't need English to replace Chinese and become the main curriculum in Taiwan, nor do we need English to become our official language or support English Hegemony. Just because I support Taiwan to become "English friendly" does not mean that I support the importance of English. As an independent country, we don't need another country to colonize us and use their language (Chinese, too). Whether in culture, diplomacy, military or internal affairs, we don't need and shouldn't kneel down to lick a country's culture or internal affairs or deny a massacre. Just because we are your friends doesn't mean we are your kid.
Finally, isn't extreme nationalism the most contrary thing to "decolonizing and building a country"? Don't do to others what you don't want, and do to others what you want. We don't need to close ourselves up, hate others, support massacres, or become or support a far right against homosexuality, okay?
China and Japan are our neighbors, and the United States is our friend. As ocean, open nation and multicultural supporters, shouldn't we make more friends with them and learn their language instead of hating them? Hating them is even worse for us...I really hope that the society will be diverse and we decolonizing faction will stop supporting the other two kinds of colonialism...

Exercise machines that isolate individual muscles are great for general strength training. Muscle isolation helps you understand the different muscles of the body and their actions. The machines are also user-friendly, safe and efficient.Diagrams for how to perform the exercise / movement are provided on most machines. You need only to sit or lie on the padded portion of the machine, move the weight pin to the desired resistance and proceed. Time is never spent on lifting, loading and unloading heavy weights.
All of the above make these machines popular in most fitness centers. The machines require minimal supervision and the safety features are beneficial to gym patrons and owners. The potential for gym-related injuries is minimal compared to use of free weights like barbells and dumbbells.
With this said however, minimal risk means there is still risk. Injuries do occur. In most of these cases, the cause is user error. One of the most common of these errors is failure to utilize proper form. Proper form involves stabilizing the body areas that are not exercised by a machine.
Diagrams on the machines usually depict proper form. Unfortunately, most exercisers only use the diagrams to get the "general idea." Proper form requires a closer look. You need to look at all regions of the body depicted in the diagrams, not just the region that will be involved in performance of the exercise.
Gym members frequently resemble contortionist while using strength machines. They twist, lunge, heave, jerk and strain their entire bodies while using the equipment. This is a sure indicator that the individual is attempting to lift too much weight. The twisting, lunging, heaving, jerking and straining are efforts to recruit other muscles to help lift the weight. The isolation principle is lost, the exercises lose their effectiveness and the possibility of injury escalates.
The key to success when using a weight machine is establishing specific points of body contact with the machine for both action and stabilization. Action contact points are created by the arms and legs as they grip, push or pull the parts of a machine that move during the exercise. For exercises involving the trunk, the abdomen or back may create the action contact points. The action contact points are easy to establish, as without them the machine will not move.
Figure 1A and 1B: The Chest-Bench Press Exercise. 1A: Proper contact; the hands are the active points of contact, while the stabilizing points of contact are the feet, buttocks, upper back and head. 1B: Improper contact; the hands are the active points of contact; however, the stabilization points of contact are not well-established. The feet are not set properly, and the upper back and head are not in contact with the machine. Photo credit: Leigh Ann Osborne, Vinton, Virginia.It is the stabilization contact points that are the primary focus here. There are five common stabilization contact points; the two extremities not involved in the exercise movement, the buttocks, the upper back and the head. These areas should be in contact with the padded portions of the machine.
When you employ proper form utilizing appropriate points for active and stabilization contact, exercises using strength machines are safe and effective. Otherwise, there is risk of injury and gains in fitness are minimal.
A frequent response by exercisers attempting to change from poor to good stabilization habits is, "I can't lift as much weight the new way. I'm stronger than that." It is true; they are not lifting the same amount of weight as before – but, reiterating a previous point, they were not lifting the previous weight with just the muscles the machines are designed to isolate. They were lifting (heaving, straining) with their entire bodies. Proper form in strength training cannot be overemphasized.
Some strength machines require that you lie on your abdomen or back. Contact points are important in these exercises as well. For these machines or any others you may choose to use, follow these simple rules for stabilization contact points.
Try to maintain as much body contact with the padded portions of the machine as possible.
Figure 2A and 2B: The Leg-Press Exercise. 2A: Correct contact; the feet are the active points of contact while the stabilization points of contact are the hands, buttocks, upper back and head. 2B: Incorrect contact; the feet are the active points of contact; however, the stabilization points of contact are faulty. The upper back and head are not in contact with the machine and the exerciser is pushing downward with their arms. Photo credit: Leigh Ann Osborne, Vinton, Virginia.
Keep the spine as straight as possible during the entire exercise. This includes the neck. Alignment from the back of the head to the lower back should be as straight.
The head should be in a neutral position. The chin should not be flexed to the chest, and the head should not be tilted back or rotated to the right or left side while performing the exercise.
Exercise is safer, more effective and more enjoyable when it's done correctly. The result is that you are more likely to continue to exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Following these simple instructions will help in this endeavor. Remember, whenever you have questions about which exercises you should be doing or how to do them correctly, ask a fitness professional with training and experience for help. Exercise is important enough to do it right.

Here is my problem! Thanks in advance !
Requirement - I do have multiple groups ( say -G1, G2, G3... G10) and I want to see open incident belongs to G1, G2 and G5. Here 'open' status means - either Open / Hold / In process / Reopened.
Is it showing correct results ?
Group condition is working as expected but the status condition is not working.
FYI - Status value is pulled from cr_stat. code and cr_stat. SYM as either Open / Hold / In process / Reopened.
So how to write the syntax for 'Additional Search Arguments' for this status condition?
The status attribute is not the full name of the Status, but the code behind it - Open has code OP, Resolved is RE, etc. So your query should be like status = 'OP' or status = 'RE' or status = 'HOLD'.

This Perfect Poster Is Dear White People in a Nutshell
By Kyle Buchanan
The new, official poster for Dear White People is terrific (and debuting exclusively on Vulture), but the story behind it is even better. A Sundance Award–winning satire about racial issues flaring up at a prestigious university, Dear White People was financed in part by thousands of people who contributed through a crowd-funding drive — so how perfect is it that this poster was made by a fan, too?
The one-sheet was designed by Nikkolas Smith, a 29-year-old architect with a day job working on theme parks and roller-coasters for Disney Imagineering. By night, though, Smith works on his own art for fun, and after he saw Dear White People earlier this summer at the Los Angeles Film Fest, he felt inspired. "As a young black male who grew up in suburban Houston," Smith told Vulture, "Dear White People is the movie I wish I had with me at all times to show to every person that threw stereotypes my way."
Smith mocked up a poster centered on one of the movie's four leads, gay nerd Lionel, who has to endure having his hair poked and prodded by curious white people on the daily. "Been there, felt that!" said Smith. "I knew if I could capture that 'gravitational pull' moment in one shot, it could be equally hilarious." Encouraged by his friends, Smith then sent his poster to Dear White People writer-director Justin Simien, who loved it; distributor Roadside Attractions agreed, and the image eventually became the film's official one-sheet in advance of its opening October 17.
"It's literally a dream come true," said Smith. "I remember being criticized by judges in architecture school because my entries 'looked too much like a Disney movie poster.' Fast-forward five years, and I find myself working as a Disneyland architectural designer and having the opportunity to meet one of my heroes, [movie-poster visionary] Drew Struzan, at work. And a few months later, I created this Dear White People one-sheet! I'm still a bit in shock."

Major summer weekend vibes! Friends, fun, woods, no wi-fi.
We had such a great time at a friend's family chalet this past weekend, just chilling and looking at the (real!) stars – Julien took this photo, of course, it's far better than anything I could manage!
I tried my hand at shooting a bb gun, which was fun, but scary, and we ate our fill of super food prepared by Richard.
I sincerely hope we're invited back, because this is a chalet of the Gods!

Rapper Sues Video Game Maker Over Fortnite Dance Move
by Ian Stewart
December 6, 2018 - 12:35pm
2 Milly introduced the popular Milly Rock dance in a 2014 music video. As of July, characters in Fortnite are able to perform a similar dance.
A spin of the hand, and a flick of the arm. Bounce left, right, left, right.
That dance, known as the Milly Rock, is at the center of a lawsuit filed Wednesday by rapper 2 Milly against Epic Games, Inc. The suit claims the artist invented the move and that it was used without permission in the company's massively popular online game Fortnite.
Let's take a look at the evidence — here's a clip from Fortnite of a dance they call Swipe It:
And here's a video of 2 Milly's Milly Rock from 2014 (which contains words and gestures that may be offensive):
In the complaint, lawyers for 2 Milly – whose legal name is Terrence Ferguson – write that through the "unauthorized misappropriation of Ferguson's highly popular dance craze, the 'Milly Rock,' in its video game, Fortnite Battle Royale ('Fortnite'), Epic has unfairly profited from exploiting Ferguson's protected creative expression and likeness."
2 Milly says he invented the Milly Rock in 2011. He featured it in his 2014 music video and since then the dance has taken off. It's been performed onstage by other musicians, name-checked in a popular rap and taken up by enthusiastic young fans.
Fortnite is free to download and play, but gamers can spend real money to purchase costumes and other virtual additions to their digital avatars. And they do: Fornite has made Epic Games more than $1 billion dollars. Those add-ons include dance moves (known as "emotes") like Swipe It, which was added to the game in July.
"They took my craft and they sold that," 2 Milly told TMZ, adding that he wasn't familiar with Fortnite before hearing rumors his dance appeared in the game. "Whatever they made off the specific emote, Swipe It, that's what I want."
The lawsuit asks the court to prevent Epic Games from continuing to display that dance in Fortnite, and for 2 Milly to be compensated financially for its use.
A spokesperson for Epic Games, Inc. told NPR it doesn't comment on ongoing litigation.
According to The Verge, "The lawsuit marks the first formal legal challenge against the widespread game industry practice of appropriating pop culture, like dance moves and memes, and turning it into virtual items for sale."
The legal filing from 2 Milly's lawyers lists other black artists whose dancing it claims Epic Games has copied including Snoop Dogg, Will Smith and Alfonso Ribeiro. Chance The Rapper has also been critical of the makers of Fortnite for not playing original music from artists whose dancing allegedly inspired the moves in the video game.
In an interview with Business Insider, intellectual property lawyer Shanti Sadtler Conway explained it might be difficult for 2 Milly to win the suit: "Just as an author cannot prevent another author from using a word or a few words in the English language, a choreographer couldn't prevent another choreographer from using the second position in ballet, for example."
And the U.S. Copyright Office says it "cannot register short dance routines consisting of only a few movements or steps with minor linear or spatial variations, even if a routine is novel or distinctive."
There is, however, protection for "choreographic works" defined in part as "a series of dance movements or patterns organized into an integrated, coherent, and expressive compositional whole." David Hecht, one of 2 Milly's lawyers, told The Washington Post he is confident they have grounds for the suit.
"These are rendered in such a way that this isn't just an imitation," Hecht said. "This is a deliberate copy." Hecht told the Post that stealing 2 Milly's dance is like stealing a part of his identity.

Anyone know when the next double-shot weekend will be?

No, they just said stay tuned to the website for updates.

I think this is a solid card overall. But if I had to choose from these guys only, I might give some of the bouts a different spin. I really like the Smash Bros against House of Truth idea. That's an intriguing and fresh match-up. And Generico vs Callihan would be great! But I would throw in Ricochet and make it a 3-way with the winner getting the next shot at the PWG title. As much as I love O'chet, he's done nothing to warrant a World Title match right now. If anything, it's time to give Willie Mack the opportunity. I don't personally think he's ready to become champion, but he has at least earned a shot at the gold. Brain Cage vs Edwards is a good call, but the F'n Machine would NEED a victory there. I would also put the RockNES Monsters against Future Shock in a Number One contenders match and possibly hint at a heel turn from Yuma & Goodtime. I can see them being pissed that the SSB have swooped in a taken what they believe should be theirs, the ugliest damn belts in Professional Wrestling! And I think that could develop in to quite a feud!
PWG needs to re-release PWG Sells Out II. It needs to happen.

Second this with a passion.
They seemed to vanish rather quickly.

I have my fingers crossed that the next show doesn't fall on June 30 even though i'm almost positive that it will , I have a wedding that i'm in and who needs to be in a wedding when you got a PWG show .

I hope if its before the 30 they anounce it soon, I have to ask for time off 3 weeks in advance.
I heard they are skipping June and the next show will be the Anniversary Show in July.
I can't see the next show being announced in under a month's time.

Amanda Wendling - Making It Up As I Go: Showering.
The last few weekends have ushered in full-on preparation for Baby Caley. The focus was on showering – showering with gifts, advice and love as we anxiously await his or her arrival.
I have been blessed with aunts and uncles in my own life that feel more like friends or a second set of parents and it's them that I want to honor with my own role of aunt. I hope to be fun when life gets too serious for this little Caley and I hope to be a listening ear when loneliness takes over. I want to see his* eyes light up when I walk in the room and to hear his stories when he can't find the words to tell his parents. But most of all, I hope to show him another side of his mom.
I hope that through me he gets to see the beautiful friend his mother is. I hope that when he hears my sister and I laughing way too hard over a bottle of wine and the Dixie Chicks blaring in the background, he sees the person his mother is – fun and good-hearted. And when she isn't listening well because she is busy or she snaps at him far too quickly, I hope I have the patience to remind him of how successful his mother is outside of their home too.
And when my sister fights with this little one about hairspray or going places he shouldn't have gone and doing things he shouldn't have done, I will tell him about the tears that ran down his mother's face as we showered her. I will tell little Caley that while we showered his mom, she showered her Little Foot with the warm, anxious love of a new mom.
*I am defaulting to calling the baby a "him" in this piece for simplicity!

Ben Affleck May Star In A Trilogy Of Solo Batman Films
By James Garcia @thereeljames 4 years ago
According to the folks over at Den of Geek, a rough cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was recently screened for some executives at Warner Bros. and apparently, the reception was fantastic. The film received a standing ovation and had the higher ups so excited that they're now working on a deal to have Ben Affleck star in a trilogy of solo Bat outings.
That's right, the studio wants Affleck to have his own trilogy as they're viewing him as the "definitive Batman." High praise, indeed, but it appears that the actor has absolutely knocked it out of the park and Warner Bros. is intent on having him star in any future project that involves the Caped Crusader.
We'll see for ourselves whether Ben Affleck is as good as the studio thinks he is when Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theatres on March 25th, 2016. For now, though, tell us, do you have high hopes for the actor's take on the iconic character? Sound off below!

Director John Landis' raucous satire of early sixties college life was a real game-changer when it was released in 1978, creating the template for a decade's worth of politically incorrect comedies to come. The movie's not-so-secret weapon was the film debut of Saturday Night Live star John Belushi as prototypical slob, John "Bluto" Blutarsky. In a bit of irony the boys from Delta House would appreciate, the film (highlighted by Bluto's suave impression of a bursting pimple) was deemed "culturally significant" and selected for preservation by the National Film Registry in 2001.

Ant theatre, frenzy whippings, and upside-down window monsters. Gravity Boots present a super sleen (not a real word) absurd hour, with everything from blind geese to mermen, and the ill-fated tale of the boy who lived in a pot of water.
Gravity Boots is a surreal comedy duo from Adelaide, Australia. The show, Snakes Pretending to be Seatbelts is written and performed by James Lloyd-Smith and Michael Cleggett, with music from Austin Harrison-Bray. James and Michael met at Flinders University when they were both studying acting.
Since this time they have worked on their own brand of surreal comedy-theatre: performing off-fringe at Gluttony 2011 in Adelaide, creating monthly shows, and debuting at the Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe in 2012.
It was during their debut in Edinburgh that they met odd person Paul Foot, who then offered to direct their 2013 show. Following a successful Adelaide 2013, the duo have been performing experimental shows, pushing what is funny and disturbing into a new awkward place in preparation for Edinburgh Fringe 2013.
All of this work has been the roasting hot oven baking the chicken pie that is Gravity Boots' new show. Storybook sketches, songs, ridiculous lies performed as truth, and thousands of snakes falling from the ceiling.


Just as Japan is beginning to recover from Typhoon Phanfone, a new and powerful system is beginning to make an appearance on the radar. Typhoon Vongfong, which means "wasp" in the Cantonese language, is building strength in the western Pacific Ocean just east of Taiwan. This powerful system has set its sights on the Ryuku Islands of Japan, and will then continue on into mainland Japan.
This typhoon has already brought flooding and damaging winds to the northern Mariana Islands on Sunday. Recorded wind gusts were about 55 mph, and 3 inches of rain was also recorded in a short period of time.
Once the middle of the week hit, Vongfong was then classified as a "super typhoon", as it hit an area of low wind shear and warm ocean temperatures. The tropical system had reached Category 5 status, but has since been downgraded. The strength of this system had surpassed that of Super Typhoon Genevieve, which at its most powerful had winds of 160 in the West Pacific.
The storm has weakened since, and it is now classified as an equivalent of a strong Category 4 hurricane with winds of up to 138 mph. Even though it has weakened, it still poses a dangerous threat. Vongfong has slowed down, and it is predicted that the cyclone will track over Okinawa on Saturday night, then make landfall on the mainland of Japan by early next week.
This extremely strong typhoon will bring life-threatening risks over the next couple of days. The biggest threats with this typhoon are destructive winds and flash flooding. The Ryuku Islands will begin to feel Vongfong on Friday night, and it will unleash heavy rain and increasing winds onto the Kadena Air Base, which has since shut down all non-military ops due to the weather conditions.
Okinawa is directly in the path of this system, and some of the worst conditions from this cyclone will be unleased on several U.S Pacific air bases. This will cause widespread power outages, as well as flash flooding across the island. Sustained winds are predicted to reach 100 mph.
After severely battering the Ryuku Islands, the main focus will then be on Japans mainland. The worst of Vongfong that will occur on the mainland are expected to hit on late Sunday and extend through Tuesday, as typhoon force-winds and inundating rainfall spread from Southwest to northeast.
This system is predicted to weaken once it approaches the mainland, but it will still bring dangerous conditions to most of Japan with the greatest and most dangerous threats expected in Shikoku, southern Honshu, and Kyushu. There are still many areas trying to recover from over six inches of rain that hammered eastern Japan on Sunday and Monday from Typhoon Phanfone. Tokyo was inundated with over 10 inches of rain ahead and during this system.
It seems as though there may be another round of flooding in Tokyo, just one week after Phanfone passed through. The threats are the same as they were with the previous system. There are some similarities, but also differences between their tracks. The results can definitely make a small difference in track and storm speed.

IMPORTANT - If your child has a medical appointment and intends to be back in school for lunch you must let the office know before 9.30am that they require a lunch or provide a packed lunch. Unless ordered by 9.30am a meal cannot be provided by school.
Woolley Wood School promotes healthy lunches!!
Children often like food they can eat with their fingers, so chop up raw vegetables such as carrots or peppers and give them hummus or cottage cheese to dip them into.
Breadsticks and wholemeal crackers are also great finger foods that can be spread with low-fat soft cheese or eaten with reduced fat cheddar.
Can parents/carers please ensure that they provide the school with updated information on your child's medical and dietary requirements including any allergies he or she may have.

HomeWord GamesScholardle
Scholardle
Scholardle game is based on an open-source project called Reactle, which was designed as a Worlde clone that could be freely shared and edited into different versions or themes. It's built with the same open-source code that powered the Pokémon-themed Squirdle and the Harry Potter-themed Wizarding Wordle.
Scholardle is marketed as a Wordle for those who enjoy a good challenge. It was created by the same company that created the academic proofreading tool Writeful and follows the same template as the original game.
You must guess a five-letter word in five or fewer attempts, using color clues to narrow down the correct answer. Every 24 hours, the target word is reset, and the game keeps track of your winning streak.
The twist is that you won't be guessing words from everyday vocabulary, but rather words from the esoteric, jargon-filled world of academia. Its creators claim to have compiled a list of the top academic words for Scholardle, effectively challenging your understanding of the English language's most obscure vocabulary.
