World Book Day costume ideas for little ones
Choose from Mary Poppins, Gangsta Granny, Little Red Riding Hood and more
Nisha Mal
World Book Day is on Thursday, March 7.
The event is a great opportunity for children to dress up as their favourite character from a children's book.

Fancy dress options include Harry Potter-inspired costumes, Matilda, Mary Poppins, The Cat in the Hat and much more.
We've rounded up some of the best children's costumes you can buy this year.
Asda has an entire section dedicated to Harry Potter costumes and another one especially for characters from Roald Dalh's books.
There are eight fancy dress outfits in the Roald Dahl range, including this blue Matilda Wormwood-inspired dress.
It has a glittering mesh panel all over it, and it comes with a felt brown bag attached.
The Harry Potter collection includes 12 costumes, including Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore and robes identical to those worn by The Boy Who Lived.
Fresh off the back of Mary Poppins Returns, Sainsbury's is selling a magical costume just like Emily Blunt's.
Available to buy in sizes 3-10, it comes with an Edwardian-style blue dress, which has an overlay of a coat on it, a hat and an umbrella.
The skirt has a picture of Mary flying with her umbrella and the quote 'Practically Perfect In Every Way' embossed near the hemline.
Buy it here for £15.
The high street favourite is selling fancy dress costumes from £7.99, including Alice in Wonderland, Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood and Where's Wally outfits.

The Canadian Arctic Archipelago is situated in the northernmost extremity of North America. The group of over 35,000 islands comprises much of the territory of Northern Canada—most of Nunavut and part of the Northwest Territories. Canada's claim to its north rests first on the charter granted to the Hudson's Bay Company by King Charles II in 1670. Exploration of the Arctic has been a facet of Canadian history from the arrival of the first Europeans in North America until today. The ill-fated Franklin expedition of the Northwest Passage was one such exploration.

In Colombia, telecom Tigo/UNE, in partnership with Grey Colombia agency, has turned around 13,000 old, unused payphones into a new micro-savings system. Accessible via users' cell phones, the system allows those who earn less than $3.50 a day to save and protect their funds.
To operate the system, users need to visit a Tigo store to activate an account. This will allow them to deposit their earnings—which are mostly coins—into a savings account, doing so using the payphones. This account can be accessed from their mobile devices to pay utility bills and purchase public transportation tickets, or even for attaining microloans from stores to buy household appliances.
The Colombian market is slowly embracing cashless alternatives, with financial inclusion programs giving many citizens the opportunity to obtain at least one financial product. This is certainly a field that Colombians need to be educated in: according to a 2017 report published by the Republican Bank of Colombia, 97% of daily payments in the country are still made in cash.
As well as providing an inclusive tool for under-served groups, the rise of new payment alternatives has also been used as a means of strengthening local communities. This is the case with Payphone Bank in Colombia, as well as a new local cryptocurrency that is designed to support east London's small businesses.
Furthermore, alternative digital payment methods are being developed to satisfy consumers' needs for simpler and handier alternatives. Pharmacies across India are working to incorporate Paytm's digital wallet to ensure faster and more convenient payments; the German government is due to release a single app that will allow smartphone payments aboard all public transportation; similarly, public transportation in Singapore can now be paid for with a wearable device; meanwhile, Finnair has become the first airline to offer Alipay on board for in-flight retail.
As communities learn to navigate the financial system via their own digital payment alternatives, businesses would do well to embrace this trend by adapting to these seamless times. By developing new technology which can accept payments from smart bracelets or smartphones, consumers will feel reassured in adopting digital payments as the most safe, secure and convenient system in the current market.

Ascentric has boosted clients' portfolios by over half a million pounds in 2016, thanks to the dealing capabilities of its in-house stockbroking service. The stockbroking team delivered an average price improvement of 8.5bps on each client trade of an exchange traded instrument during the year, leading to a cumulative £566,500 boost to clients' portfolios.
Over £106,000 of this was delivered during the week following the Brexit vote, highlighting the real difference which the service provides during volatile market conditions. The stockbroking service delivered these benefits thanks to the team's relationship with over 20 counterparties and the flexibility they have to decide when to time trades to achieve the an optimum price. The team traded over 300,000 client orders worth £829m during 2016. Ascentric's clients held over £900m in exchange traded instruments on the platform at the end of last year.
The announcement comes as Ascentric is set to adopt a new 'all-in' charging structure, under which clients will not be charged any fees for trading on the platform, including through the stockbroking service.
Over the lifetime of a portfolio, the price improvements available thanks to this service will make a real difference to client accounts in offsetting Ascentric's already low platform charging structure. An average Ascentric client, investing for 30 years, could see price improvements delivered through the service which effectively negates 85% of the client's charge on the platform over this period. If that same client remained invested for an additional ten years, they could see price improvements which could end up negating 100% of the platform charge.
An average Ascentric client who invested for just ten years would still see price improvements which should negate over half the cost of being invested on the platform over that period.
"These figures clearly demonstrate the tangible benefits provided by our in-house stockbroking service. The price improvements available will make a real difference in boosting the value of client portfolios over the longer term. This unique service makes us by far and away the most competitive platform when it comes to trading in exchange traded funds, a trend which is increasing dramatically as advisers tell us they are seeking access to cost-effective passive solutions for their clients."
"Our decision to introduce an 'all-in' charging structure, which covers all dealing done by this service, has been well received by our clients and the wider market. This new charging structure will compound the cost-effectiveness of trading which our in-house stockbroking service already offers."

Проблема заключается в том, что каждый день в 00:00 по МСК (сервера тоже в МСК) сайт падает, начинает долго грузить, а потом и вовсе выдает ошибку "502 bad gateway nginx". Установил php7.2-fpm. Проблема не ушла. По графикам хостинга, нагрузка маленькая (в лимиты и даже близко к лимитам vps не грузиться). На днях выполнил команду php7.2-fpm reload и сайт проработал 2 дня без падений, упал, встал и ещё 2 дня работал. Позовчера сайт падал каждые 5-7 минут. Самое интересное, что в /var/log/apache2/access.log в периоды падение есть записи об успешных подключениях, а в /var/log/apache2/error.log записи за период падения отсутствуют. В чём может быть проблема?

Moseley JB, et al. "A controlled trial of arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee". The New England Journal of Medicine. 2002. 347(2):81-88.
In patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), does arthroscopic debridement or lavage reduce knee pain at two years?
In patients with knee OA, there was no difference between level of knee pain following arthoscopic debridement, arthoscopic lavage, or sham arthroscopy at two years.
Arthroscopic interventions have been widely used for the treatment of symptomatic knee OA, but the practice is controversial, because its efficacy has not been clearly established in clinical trials. The Moseley Trial randomized 180 predominantly white, male patients with symptomatic and radiographic evidence of knee OA to arthroscopic debridement, arthroscopic lavage, or sham arthroscopy performed by a single orthopedic surgeon in Texas. At two years, there was no difference in pain and function between the arthroscopic interventions and sham surgery.
Of note, the randomization of patients to sham surgery was met with considerable controversy. The trial is occasionally misrepresented as having established that knee arthroscopy is ineffective in a wide range of problems (eg, meniscal tears); in fact, however, it only demonstrated that arthroscopy was likely not efficacious among patients with knee OA.
Randomization with stratification by radiographic severity (grades 1-3, 4-6, and 7-8) to one of three groups, with assignment revealed to the surgeon only after the patient was in the OR.
Comparisons are debridement vs. lavage vs. sham (debridement vs. sham; lavage vs. sham).

I went into therapy thinking I'd do EMDR but as Teresa began to ask questions about the transcripts I'd sent the past few days it turned into something else.
Just a session. But not just a session.
It was about home, about my leaving it, about how sad it makes me to this day. It was about loss. Teresa walked me through some things, including thought about how much I loved my parents' bed because I would cuddle with my mom in it and watch TV with her. About how I likely kicked myself out because of what happened with my father.
The sequence of events around that period of time are fuzzy but I think in general that this is right.
I remember walking out of the bedroom after that scene with my father.
I remember thinking to myself that this kind of thing should really hurt but that it didn't and I registered that I registered nothing.
Perhaps this is where I got the broader idea to feel nothing?
I think I remember thinking that this feeling nothing made me feel tough.
Teresa was curious to know more about that afternoon, when I took that deep living room breath and stopped being me, essentially.
I think it came after that incident. I'm nearly positive it did.
I do not think I could take in what happened with my father. I remember feeling guilty for it feeling kind of good. I think I registered it was disloyal to do to my mother but I'm not sure.
It was the living room though for sure where I took that deep breath. I was clear that I needed to stop going into the bed. I needed to kick myself out and stop being such a baby.
Maybe it was my oldest brother who called me a baby. Or who did so in my mind because he was so mean.
I needed to grow up some day so I chose that one.
If you love something with all your heart that you know will end, you need to end it sooner rather than later.
This applied to my life back then—and now too with things like therapy.
It is how I feel about home—about being unable to truly and officially land in one spot together with Pete. Once you have this home you need to declare that someday you will be leaving it.
If you stay uncommitted there's nothing looming in the background whispering that it will all end.
Except, in truth, there is.
But still, this is a game I must be playing with myself.
Be grateful that you were able to go very deep with Teresa, to shed tears about how much, how desperately you loved and love home, and how much sadness you have to this day in losing your home.
I wrote in the book: You've lost your mom to the hairbrush, your dad to the spoon. Your brother is trying to suffocate you. You are young, blind, asleep to what is going on.
I re-think this and wonder if I lost my mom in those moments of it was after what happened to me in that bed. Or if I'd been losing her in bits and pieces all along, and the part I loved most, snuggling with her in bed, was cut off after what happened.
There is a before and after in my mind. I think of the memories, the summers, the winters, that frozen basketball net dangling in a winter storm, the beautiful reflective icicles that seemed to grow and form everywhere, how, despite my problem, the abuse, my mother's leaving, that these memories, these little disconnected fish and images that flit in and out of my consciousness are deeply meaningful to me.
They could be my before memories. Before I turned to ice.
After just feels so dead to me, like a stagnant hot summer's day where you can never find a breeze or comfortable spot inside or outside. This is how it felt inside to be me, to never find any place that felt peaceful.
I suppose before, despite it all, I found peace in the before section of my heart.
In that bed, I think. In those evenings where I could snuggle and watch TV with my mom. Those nights were few and far between and they were only nights as she was gone to me otherwise.
I lost that snuggling, that safety, the thing I loved most in the entire world.
It was all I had left really and it was gone.
This time with her was precious like a gem for it was rare.
Yes. And, A, I was old enough and I do remember walking away from that bed that afternoon with my father knowing that this is what fucks up people's lives but that I could handle it, that I was somehow untouchable because I discovered that feel-nothing drug--the dissociation.
We realize today that perhaps this great blow and the numbness we felt afterwards gave us what we needed, a big hint that dissociation worked and worked wonders. It allowed us to be strong and cold and to feel no pain.
I think so, A. I felt tough.
It is okay to go over this, to cry, to untangle, to understand for, S, there is nothing more important in one's life than to know one's own self and story.
Last night I had a hard time getting to sleep. I felt those fish flitting around, but also I felt just really really sad to contrast the sharper memories I have now of my parents' bedroom to what I saw last month, to being there to inventory all my father's medications.
In my mind, the basketball hoop frozen in the backyard now contrasted with that same backyard I saw last month that my father, due to his mobility issues, could not even walk around in.
My heart seemed to open up wide after I'd filed that complaint, finally some room to feel me and my family. And it ached incessantly for my father. How I loved my father, missed him, felt sudden and enormous compassion.
I could feel my love for him…and the loss of him long ago and this impending loss loss too. And when I arrived home from that trip I cried for days.
Loss is surrounding me, A, like a snowstorm.
But I love snowstorms so this metaphor is wrong.
Allow, allow, allow. We go deep in our mornings. Not every minute of our day will be like this.


Nike have announced their 2019 Free Running Collection which introduces new elements that enable a more barefoot-like feel than previous versions.
The trainers have been designed to give runners the 'barefoot' feeling and has specifically been designed for shorter distance routes, so the model's foam cushioning is lower to the ground, firmer and flatter giving the runner a free range of motion. Nike have used data mapping to test out varying depths to where the foot naturally wants to bend and stretch to enhance the feeling of movement and to allow for more natural foot motion.
The Nike Free RN 5.0 is 26-percent more flexible and 2mm lower to the ground and Nike Free RN Flyknit 3.0 is 1mm lower to the ground than the 2018 models.
Both Freeruns come with minimal uppers, a thin-stretch mesh with a minimal lacing system for the 5.0 and a lace-less Nike Flyknit with a secondary lock-down overlay for the 3.0, were designed to enhance the natural, second skin aspect of the shoes. There is also a small touch from Nike with the smaller Swoosh symbolizing the shoe's lower-mileage intent.
Check out the imagery below and check out 5 facts about the free runs.
1. Nike began studying natural motion and barefoot running in 1989 in its sport research lab in Exeter, New Hampshire.
2. When work on Nike Free began in the early 2000s, Nike was among the first in the industry working directly to address barefoot running.
3. The first Free shoes were released with a long brochure to explain the benefits of the technology and warn that the shoe wasn't for everyone.
4. The Nike Sport Research Lab has five kinematic parameters it looks at before deciding whether or not a shoe is deemed worthy of the Free designation.
5. The numbering system in Nike Free's naming convention follows a scale ranging from 0 (barefoot) to 10 (a standard running shoe) to indicate that particular shoe's level of cushioning.


Tall and stately Digitalis, or Foxgloves, have long been included in garden areas where vertical interest and lovely flowers are desired. Growing foxgloves thrive in full sun to partial shade to full shade, depending on the summer heat. The hotter the summers, the more shade the plant needs. Foxglove plants grow best in rich, well draining soil. Caring for Foxglove plants will include keeping the soil moist. As a biennial or short lived perennial, the gardener can encourage re-growth of foxglove flowers by not allowing the soil to dry out or to get too soggy. If flower heads are not removed, foxglove plants reseed themselves abundantly. Caring for the Foxglove plant should include keeping children and pets away, as all parts can be toxic when consumed. This may explain why deer and rabbits leave them alone. Hummingbirds are attracted by their nectar.
Camelot Mix Digitalis is a combination of four lovely colors: cream, lavender, rose, and white. Center spikes are large and full, and side shoots fill out the plant. Attracts hummingbirds. Deadhead first-year blooms to encourage overwintering.


Families that Play, Together Stay Together!
#gbnf Families that Play, Together Stay Together!
Here is a little video clip from the holidays in my home town. Neighbor gifts are important and Mrs. Clauses and her elves worked hard this year.
We went to The Bean Museum at BYU to look at the animals.
Have you ever ran into an emergency situation and not even known it was an emergency situation? I have a story to share today. It was one of the most alarming situations ever but came off really confusing. I went on mission for my religion for a year and a half. Upon returning from being away for so long I wanted to see people that I had not seen during that time.
One of the most important people, was my great grandpa. He had a bad accendent right before I had left and broke his jaw. Our goodbye was really heart breaking. I couldn't wait to see him.
My family told me how good he had been doing, how he had held in the time I was gone.
They also told me that my English was just fine.
Those are two important statements because when we went to visit him he seemed normal yet I could not understand anything he said. I was confused beyond belief. We stood in his kitchen and I looked back and for to my family that seem as calm as can be and my Great grandpa who was speaking what I could only guess to be German mixed with Mandarin.
My dad said, "Why don't we go into the living room?" and I thought "Well, I understood that." My dad lead my grandpa to his recliner and then sat us down. He grabbed the phone in his hand and told us to keep talking to Grandpa as he called his dad and the hospital.
My great grandpa had a stroke. We were lucky enough to visit him in time to catch it. It was terrifyingly confusing. So, with that and this post always remember F.A.S.T!
And here is a fascinating clip from T.E.D about a scientist who studied strokes and then had one herself.
Educate yourself. My great grandpa is alive today because my dad was F.A.S.T.

The code for my ContactList is this:
ContactList = []

I don't get what the problem is, when i had ContactList[0], ContactList[1] and ContactList[2], it said that the list was out of range, but where am i supposed to tell how long the list is supposed to be?
I realized that append results in me getting a completely new contact which i don't want, I want to modify a current one, so that's wrong.
But what am i supposed to do to actually modify a current contact?
And how am i supposed to make the list "avaliable"?
Thank you so much!

A: To begin with a empty list, you will need to add one first. You can avoid the error by adding a condition before modify it. The best way to do it is to separate your code and write a dedicated function for adding contacts.
def modifyContacts():
    if not ContactList:
        addContacts()
    else:
        # your modifying code

def addContacts():
    # your adding contact code

A: You need to use dictionaries with lists to get optimal output!.Hope this helps

Next 5 States with Opportunity to Legalize Cannabis - Hemp, Inc. Cannabis Industry Update - Hemp Inc.
According to Ballotpedia, California's initiative "Legalizes marijuana under state law, for use by adults 21 or older. Imposes state taxes on sales and cultivation. Provides for industry licensing and establishes standards for marijuana products. Allows local regulation and taxation. Additional tax revenues ranging from high hundreds of millions of dollars to over $1 billion annually, mostly dedicated to specific purposes. Reduced criminal justice costs of tens of millions of dollars annually." The initiative would also make California the first state to have "cannabis cafes" that allow on-site marijuana consumption, similar to the ones in Amsterdam. The most recent polling data from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) found that 60% of the voters in California favor recreational marijuana while only 37% oppose it.
Nevada's marijuana initiative, also known as Question 2, would "regulate and tax marijuana similar to alcohol." If passed, persons at least 21 years old would be allowed to possess and use a limited amount of marijuana. The Nevada Department of Taxation would issue licenses to marijuana retailers, suppliers, testing facilities, and distributors. An excise tax of 15% would be imposed on wholesale sales of marijuana. The existing sales tax would apply to retail sales of marijuana. Net revenue generated under this proposal would be deposited in the Distributive School Account and used for support of K-12 education. To read Nevada's Question 2 in its entirety, click here.
Arizona's Proposition 205 initiative would permit up to six plants to be grown in the homes. "A 15 percent tax would be levied on the sale of marijuana, and revenue from the tax would be allocated to education and healthcare. The measure would establish a Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control which would be tasked with regulating the cultivation, manufacturing, testing, transportation and sale of marijuana. Local governments would be empowered to regulate and limit marijuana businesses. It was also designed to allow any medical marijuana facility to transition to a recreational marijuana facility." To read the initiative in its entirety, click here.
Also on the upcoming November ballot, Maine voters will be asked, "Do you want to allow the possession and use of marijuana under state law by persons who are at least 21 years of age, and allow the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, testing, and sale of marijuana and marijuana products subject to state regulation, taxation and local ordinance?" With recent polling in Maine, a little over half of the voters favor marijuana legalization. To read the full initiative in its entirety, click here.
The Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act or Question 4 on this year's ballot, proposed for Massachusetts, Question 4 would also legalize marijuana in Massachusetts. The state permits medicinal use, but under the new law individuals 21 years or older would be able to use, grow, possess, and sell it. "The measure stipulates that individuals could possess under ten ounces of marijuana inside their homes and under one ounce in public. They could also grow up to six marijuana plants in their homes. The measure would create a regulatory structure called the Cannabis Control Commission. This body would oversee marijuana legalization and issue licenses to firms that seek to sell marijuana products." If approved, marijuana legalization would take effect on December 15, 2016. To read the full initiative, click here.
Industrial hemp has already been legalized in 29 states creating more lucrative business opportunities for positioned businesses such as Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC in Spring Hope, North Carolina.
With so much progress to date in the industrial hemp industry, Hemp, Inc.'s timing of completing its decortication plant could not be better. It is in its final stages of completion. With over 70,000 square feet over 9 acres, Hemp, Inc.'s multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility is the only one in the U.S. of this scale and magnitude.
Over the past weekend, Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC also sponsored Hemp X, the "hempcentric" festival in Asheville, NC that attracted farmers, entrepreneurs, and other small business owners in an effort to highlight the economic benefits of growing industrial hemp while educating Americans on the importance of hemp and the multiple uses and benefits of industrial hemp. "This was a very successful event. We were able to do a lot networking while we were there. I believe this is a great time for our industry, especially for the industrial hemp industry," said Perlowin.

FOR HIS SOUL'S SAKE AND THE LAND'S SAKE IX.
Some months later the following letter came to David Claridge in Cairo from Faith Claridge in Hamley: David, I write thee from the village and the land of the people which thou didst once love so well.
But it is a comely and a good land, and here we wait for thee.
If you stay long in Egypt, you'll find that Achmet is the worst, and Nahoum the Armenian the deepest, pasha in all this sickening land.
Once there was in Egypt, Joseph, a wise youth, who served a Pharaoh, and was his chief counsellor, and it was well with the land.
Their lands, houses, and palm- trees would be taxed still, when they would reap no more.
To his mind, never a criminal in this land but less a criminal than he!
Here will I dedicate my life to Thee for the land's sake.
If it be Thy will, let my soul be cast away; but for the soul of him whose body I slew, and for his land, let my life be the long sacrifice.
My uncle talked to me over seas and lands.
In years gone by I tried to do good to this land, and I failed.
I would labour for the land of Egypt, for by work shall we fulfil ourselves, redeem ourselves.
What work to do in Egypt save to help the land, and how shall one help, save in the Prince's service?
One by one we all had yielded to ceaseless intrigue and common distrust of each other, until no honest man was left; till all were intent to save their lives by holding power; for in this land to lose power is to lose life.
Might not this Oriental mind, with that faith, be a power to redeem the land?

They gave thee sour bread to eat ere thy going, but yet thee didst grind the flour for the baking.
England is ever grey, Davy, but without thee it is grizzled-all one "Quaker drab," as says the Philistine.
But do thee keep enough of thy inheritance to bring thee safe home again to those who love thee.

Designed to serve as the heart and brain of your connected home theater system, the AVR-X4000 IN-Command 7.2 Network Home Theater Receiver is packed with connectivity, system configuration and control options. The powerful amplifier section features 7 discrete output stages with identical circuit topology, with each channel rated at 125 watts, easily able to drive today's quality loudspeakers. Featuring 7 HDMI inputs (including 1 on the front panel), the AVR-X4000 also features 3 HDMI outputs, including 2 for the main room and 1 for another room. For the ultimate surround sound experience, the AVR-X4000 features Audyssey DSX, Dolby Pro Logic IIz and DTS Neo:X decoders, which lets you add front height or wide speakers to dramatically expand the front soundstage, along with dual subwoofer outputs for systems with two subs.
The AVR-X4000 features Audyssey Platinum, our most robust level of Audyssey support with Audyssey MultEQ XT32, Audyssey Dynamic Volume, Audyssey Dynamic EQ, Audyssey DSX, Audyssey Sub EQ HT, Audyssey LFC, and Audyssey Pro. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 harnesses the power of sophisticated DSP processing, measures the acoustic output of the speakers and subwoofers, and generates multiple digital EQ filters with 256 times the resolution of standard MultEQ. This provides the smoothest, most natural tonal balance in virtually any room. Audyssey DSX offers the option of front wide and front height speakers which are placed to the left and right or above the main front speakers to broaden the width and/or height of the soundstage, making the audio experience more impressive, engaging, and believable. Audyssey Dynamic Volume senses the impending arrival of very loud sounds and automatically reduces the difference between normal and extra-loud programming. Audyssey Dynamic EQ automatically adjusts subwoofer and surround speaker levels for maximum performance at any playback volume. Audyssey Sub EQ HT provides individual tailoring for dual subwoofer setups. Audyssey LFC (Low Frequency Containment) provides a full range tonal balance for late-night listening that minimizes the intrusion of deep bass content into adjacent rooms or spaces. The AVR-X4000 is also Audyssey Pro Installer ready.

In addition to the latest high resolution decoders, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, the AVR-X4000 7.2 receiver also features Audyssey DSX, Dolby Pro Logic IIz and DTS Neo:X decoding, which lets you connect an additional pair of front height or wide speakers to dramatically expand the front soundstage, transforming your home theater room into a large venue cinema space.
In addition to conventional remote control, the AVR-X4000 is equipped with a range of additional control options, including the "Denon Remote App", which is available in iOS and Android versions, which lets you control the unit with your favorite smartphone or tablet. You can also control the AVR-X4000 via the web control function, which you can access via your PC's web browser. Equipped with both LAN and RS-232C serial port connections, the AVR-X4000 is compatible with a broad range of home automation control systems from companies including AMX, Control4, Crestron, RTI, Savant and URC. The IR remote input and output jacks provide even more control options, and the unit features two 12V assignable trigger outputs for projection screen and motorized drapes control.
You can set up the AVR-X4000 to enjoy music and video in the main room, while others enjoy music and video in a second room. A second zone HDMI output lets others enjoy a different program in another room, and the Amp Assign function lets you use two of the amplifier channels to drive stereo speakers in the second room. By connecting a stereo amp to the AVR-X4000, you can even have a third audio source playing in another room.
Equipped with Apple's AirPlay function, the AVR-X4000 lets you stream your favorite tracks from your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad via your home network. You can also access your favorite iTunes tracks from your computer or connect your portable device directly via the front panel USB port. The unit is also DLNA 1.5 compliant for connection to your multimedia PC and is Windows 8 / RT certified.
Enjoy a world of digital radio entertainment with HD Radio. Many popular AM and FM stations now broadcast in HD Radio, which also provides the ability for stations to broadcast additional programming channels. With HD Radio, AM sounds like FM, and FM sounds like CD.
For the ultimate audio fidelity, connect the Denon DBT-3313CI Universal Blu-ray player via Denon Link HD and HDMI, which provides advanced jitter reduction processing that extracts the utmost fidelity and widest dynamic range from your favorite high resolution music discs.
For connection to a broad range of digital sources, the AVR-X4000 features 7 HDMI inputs, including 1 on the front panel that lets you quickly and conveniently connect a camcorder, game console or other HDMI-equipped device. There are dual HDMI outputs for the main room, and a third HDMI output for another room.
The HDMI functionality is further expanded with HDMI Standby Pass-through, which lets you view a source (such as a cable or satellite box) on your HDTV when the AVR-X4000 is in standby mode, which is ideal for casual viewing of news broadcasts and the like.
"I've got to hand it to Denon. I haven't been this impressed by a receiver in a long time. Well done. Denon hit one out of the park with the AVR-X4000."


There's a very particular feeling I get whenever I check out the EVH section at Fender's room at NAMM. It's a feeling that Eddie Van Halen (and the folks working with him like Chip Ellis, Matt Bruck and Fender) have so much experience, knowledge and creativity when it comes to guitars and amps that your tone is in the best possible hands. And that's something that's apparent whether you're plugging into an EVH 5150III amp, picking up one of the EVH Striped models that made their second showing this year, or one of the much pricier EVH Wolfgang Custom Relic USA models. Here's a look at the EVH booth at NAMM.


Slightly unripe or "just ripe" fruit will form a jam more easily than very ripe fruit, as it contains more pectin and is more acidic. For safety reasons, be sure to use bottled lemon juice, not fresh-squeezed juice, in this recipe.
Chef's Note: Do not try to make a double batch of this jam in a large pot; it will not work. Rather, make two single batches in separate pots.
Place two small plates in freezer to chill. Set canning rack in large pot, place four, one-cup jars in rack, and add water to cover by one inch. Bring to simmer over medium heat, then turn off heat and cover to keep hot.
In Dutch oven, bring raspberries, sugar, apple and lemon juice to boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Once sugar is completely dissolved, boil mixture, stirring and adjusting heat as needed, until thickened and registers 217 F to 220 F, 10 to 15 minutes.
To test consistency, place one teaspoon jam on chilled plate and freeze for two minutes. Drag your finger through jam on plate; jam has correct consistency when your finger leaves distinct trail. If jam is runny, return pot to heat and simmer one to three minutes longer before retesting. Skim any foam from surface of jam using spoon.
Place dish towel flat on counter. Using jar lifter, remove jars from pot, draining water back into pot. Place jars upside down on towel and let dry for one minute. Using funnel and ladle, portion hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Slide wooden skewer along inside edge of jar and drag upward to remove air bubbles.
º For long-term storage: While jars are hot, wipe rims clean, add lids, and screw on rings until fingertip-tight; do not overtighten. Return pot of water with canning rack to boil. Lower jars into water, cover, bring water back to boil, then start timer.

There's even more evidence that one type of exercise is the closest thing to a miracle drug that we have

A growing body of evidence finds that cardio exercise is the closest thing to a miracle drug that we have.
Cardio, otherwise known as aerobic exercise, has been tied to benefits ranging from better moods and a stronger heart to a sharper mind.
To get the most out of your swimming, running, or walking routine, studies suggest you should commit to doing it at least 2-4 times per week. Each workout should be at least 30-45 minutes.
Want an all-natural way to lift your mood, improve your memory, and protect your brain against age-related cognitive decline?
Get moving.
A wealth of recent research, including a new study published this month in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, suggests that any type of exercise that raises your heart rate and gets you moving and sweating for a sustained period of time — known as aerobic exercise— has a significant, overwhelmingly beneficial impact on the brain. Those benefits may start to emerge as soon as you start working out regularly.
"Aerobic exercise is the key for your head, just as it is for your heart," write the authors of an article in the Harvard Medical School blog "Mind and Mood."
For the latest study, researchers at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center looked at a sample of older people who showed early signs of memory loss and were at risk of developing Alzheimer's. The less frequently the participants exercised, the weaker the connections in their brain's white matter and the more poorly they performed on a bunch of cognitive tests.
"This research supports the hypothesis that improving people's fitness may improve their brain health and slow down the aging process," Kan Ding, a neurologist with the Peter O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute and the lead author on the paper, said in a statement.
Exercise may help keep the brain young
As we age, the brain — like any other organ — begins to work less efficiently, so normal signs of decline begin to surface. Our memory might not be quite as sharp as it once was, for example.
Exercising regularly as we get older appears to help defend against some of this decline, both for healthy people who show normal signs of aging and for older people who may be on the path toward developing Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers still aren't sure why this is, or how it happens. Exercise could strengthen some of the pathways our brain uses to relay signals for recent events, or boost the size of certain brain regions that are key for learning and storing memories.
Regardless of the specific mechanism at play in our bodies, the most recent recommendations suggest that working out twice a week may be beneficial in curbing some symptoms of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a stage that precedes the development of Alzheimer's in some older people. This typically involves more serious problems with memory, language, thinking, and judgment than those that might be displayed by a healthy older person.
Most studies focusing on people with MCI require people to either work out or self-report their own fitness levels. But the latest study measured how fit people were by studying their breathing and heart rate. The researchers then used brain imaging to measure the functionality of peoples' white matter and had them take a series of cognitive tests designed to measure how sharp they were.
Overall, they found that the less fit people were, the weaker their brain's white matter connections, and the worse they did on the cognitive tests.
Two other recent studies of older people with MCI have suggested that merely amping up one's workout routine with the right moves could help slow the brain's decay.
Last May, scientists recruited adults with MCI between the ages of 60-88 and had them walk for 30 minutes four days a week for 12 weeks. The results showed strengthened connectivity in a region of the brain where weakened connections have been linked with memory loss. That development, the researchers noted, "may possibly increase cognitive reserve," but more studies are needed.
Another study, this time of exclusively older women with MCI, found that aerobic exercise was tied to an increase in the size of the hippocampus, a brain area involved in learning and memory.
Large groups of researchers are taking note of these promising findings. In December, the American Academy of Neurology updated its guidelines to reflect the takeaways of these findings. Based on a series of 6-month studies on aerobic workouts and memory in people with MCI, the new guidelines recommend that people diagnosed with the condition do some form of cardio exercise at least twice a week.
Working out could boost your mood, too
In addition to protecting the brain from aging, cardio workouts "have a unique capacity to exhilarate and relax, to provide stimulation and calm, to counter depression and dissipate stress," according to the article in Harvard's "Mind and Mood" blog.
The reason aerobic workouts lift our spirits seems related to their ability to reduce levels of natural stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, according to a study in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science. Activities like running and swimming also increase overall blood flow and provide our minds fresh energy and oxygen — another factor that could help us feel better.

Aerobic exercise may also have a uniquely powerful positive impact on people with depression. A pilot study in people with severe depression found that just 30 minutes of treadmill walking for 10 consecutive days was "sufficient to produce a clinically relevant and statistically significant reduction in depression."
So whether you're looking for benefits related to mood or memory, the take-home message is clear: the more you move, the healthier you may be.
"It's exciting that exercise may help improve memory at this stage, as it's something most people can do and of course it has overall health benefits," Ronald C. Petersen a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology and the lead author on the most recent guidelines, said in a statement.
While some benefits of exercise can emerge just a few minutes into a sweaty workout, others might take several weeks to crop up. That means that the best type of fitness is any aerobic exercise that you can do regularly and consistently for at least 45 minutes at a time.

The early Kalene missionaries relied on candle light and paraffin (kerosene) lamps. As time passed, the Mission eventually got a diesel generator, which typically ran for 3 hours per day. Diesel had to be brought 700 kilometers from the Copperbelt on the mission lorry (truck). Eventually, as the station and hospital grew in size, so did the demand for more electrical power, until it reached a point where it was costing a small fortune to keep the generator operating.
We thank the Lord that in 2007 after 100 years, Kalene Mission began receiving hydro-electric power from the Zengamina Hydro Project which was built at the Zambezi rapids nearby. Having 24 hour power has been a tremendous benefit to the Kalene Mission, Hospital, School of Nursing, and Flight Service. Service extends all the way to Sakeji School, and many local villages and schools along the way benefit as well.

Some Data on New York City Subway Ridership in the Covid-19 Crisis
The MTA has weekly data on ridership by train station, which it divides into fare data, i.e. data by what kind of fare it is (single-use, monthly, etc.), and turnstile data, i.e. data by what bank of turnstiles was used to enter the station. MTA chief communications officer Abbey Collins talked to me briefly when I was writing this New York Daily News op-ed, and told me that the turnstile data is less accurate, so I am using the fare data.
Here is the table I'm using, comparing ridership in mid-January and the fourth week of March. It's not fully sanitized, so some stations appear twice, which reflects multiple major entrances, e.g. the Times Square and the Port Authority sides of a single complex with in-system transfers. The relevant column is column E, labeled ratio. The highest-ratio station is Alabama Avenue on the J/Z, which has kept 53.5% of its January ridership; the next proper subway station, Bay Parkway on the F, is just at 38.6%, and it goes down from there. Overall, the ratio is 14.1%.
The general pattern is that the Manhattan CBD stations got pummeled. Grand Central has kept 7.5% of its pre-crisis ridership, and the Times Square side of the Times Square-Port Authority complex has kept 7.2%. A couple of Midtown and Lower Manhattan stations, like Rockefeller Center, are at the 5% mark. Practically no non-CBD station is this low, but one notable exception is Bedford Avenue on the L, in the center of Williamsburg. A few additional notable areas are in the 8-10% area, including more stations in Williamsburg, stations in Downtown Brooklyn and South Brooklyn, most stations on Central Park West, and Columbia. It's notable that Columbia is low even though it has a major hospital, but it's even more of a university.
Despite the stereotype, much of the Upper West and East Sides are not in the single digits. The key express stations, like 86th on the 4/5/6 and 72nd and 96th on the 1/2/3, are around 13-14%. Harlem is much higher, especially the busiest Harlem stations, 125th Street on the A/B/C/D and on the 4/5/6, both express stops, which have maintained 19.5% and 27.2% of ridership, respectively. 168th Street on the 1/A/C in Washington Heights is at 23.8%.
In general, working-class and lower middle-class stations seem to have maintained the most ridership. Jamaica Center, a key bus connection point to much of Eastern Queens, is by far the busiest among the >30% stations, at 35.3%. Utica Avenue on the 3/4 in Crown Heights is at 28.7%, and 149th Street on the 4/5/6 in the South Bronx is at 29.2%. Bedford-Stuyvesant is all over the map – Nostrand Avenue on the A/C is at 17.5%, Utica Avenue on the A/C is at 21.7%, the two Flushing Avenue stations are at about 27%, the Broadway stations on the J/Z past Flushing are in the teens.
I give those descriptive statistics because it relates to the question of subway ridership and the Covid-19 crisis. The crisis has hit outer neighborhoods harder than inner ones and working-class neighborhoods harder than middle-class ones, but beyond that pattern there is not much correlation at the level of detail. Bed-Stuy and Central Harlem have low infection rates and have maintained much more of their subway ridership than the city average.
The patterns probably concern essential workers. There are essential workers in all social classes, but more in the working class – cleaners, transit workers, sanitation workers, nursing assistants. The middle class supplies doctors and registered nurses, but there are fewer of these on the list of essential workers than lower-income, lower-education workers. Thus, middle-class neighborhoods, like the Upper East and West Sides, Astoria, Williamsburg, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, and Bay Ridge have below-average ratios, that is they've kept less of their ridership than the rest of the city.
One final pattern, or rather non-pattern, is that I can't really see the hospitals on the table. The stations on the 2/5 closest to the Kings County Hospital, Winthrop Street and Church Avenue, are at 22.4% and 22.8% respectively, not too different from the rest of the Nostrand Avenue Line. The two Flushing Avenue stations have similar ratios, even though one is on top of Woodnull Medical Center and the other isn't. 96th and 103rd Streets on the 6, the closest to Mount Sinai, have similar ratios to 110th and 116th farther up in East Harlem.

I read Mr. Levy's Daily News commentary and thought it was a very reasonable piece making a fair point. My opinion is that the most dangerous places for contracting COVID-19 (seemingly outside hospitals, nursing homes, and churches) are work places, from offices to factories to meat packing plants.
From listening, watching, and reading the news, case after case of COVID-19 seems to involve people most likely getting infected at work. Many clusters are centered on work places. There is now a suspected cluster at a call center in Chicago that occurred in February, long before testing and fears of widespread infection. Everyone there fell sick with symptoms that match COVID-19 very well. People who are exposed longer, get higher dosages of the virus, seem more likely to get sick, and be sicker with COVID.
This makes a lot of sense, that being exposed for lengthy amount of times to a coworker (who could be very well asymptomatic) makes more likely that you will be infected. This person can infect a broad group of people, who will then spread it at home, likely spreading it to other work places. Brea krooms and employee bathrooms would be high on my list of places where infection is the highest. The often stale and poorly circulating air of modern buildings, the lack of sunlight, makes things worse. NHK World, NY Times, and CBS News are running stories on this issue.
Thus, if work places are the primary nodes of infection, then the transport to and from them — be it personnel car or public transit — matters not much. The NYC subway, it seems to be as dangerous for passengers as suburban Walmart is to shoppers.

There has to be a non-gendered version of Mr…
Sorry, no offense. In fact its just the opposite, respect and politeness. Firs off, I'm a service worker, so guests are always to me "Mr, Ms, Sir, and Ma'am or Madame. I even employ this politeness when mentioning "Mr Trump", following the style of the NY Times and WSJ. I'm also a Star Trek fan, and I have been working for some time on a naval theme scifi work that has involved a lot of research on naval culture and phraseology, including reading both the novel and play "Mister Roberts".
A non-gender version of "Mr" is a very interesting idea (especially for a scifi work)… So how about Levy-san? lol.. Stay safe.
Japanese Honorific Titles: San, Sama, Kun and Chan
https://cotoacademy.com/san-sama-kun-and-chan/
Yeah, honorifics are gendered because they're rooted in traditional hierarchies. There are nonbinary people who use Mx. as a substitute for Mr. and Ms., but I haven't seen that usage leap outside extremely queer spaces the way singular-they has (and the way neopronouns like zie have not). There's always Dr. if you really want a normal honorific…
2020/04/24 - 10:05 keaswaran
The New York Times started using "Mx" in 2015, but I haven't found many instances of it in their pages since then.
2020/04/24 - 13:05 Herbert
Singular they must be older than the abandonment of "thou" in most dialects of English…
In one of the early German clusters they could trace an infection to the following scenario:
Two workers sit back to back at lunch break. One of them turns around and asks the other for salt.
Of course the viral dosis matters a lot, too. Apparently most severe cases in people outside the risk groups are linked to a high dosis directly into the lungs. If nothing else, masks might reduce the viral loads that occur during potentially infective situations…
Another thing, apparently Prof. Dr. Christian Drosten used uncharacteristically harsh language in his most recent podcast to criticize the early opening. I too think that people like Laschet are playing with millions of human lives in hopes of minor economic gains…
I'm not sure how much M. Levy wishes to comment on the German debate, but it'd be a good opportunity to criticize several aspects they like to criticize about European unwillingness to learn from Asia…

Alon,Correction needed: Columbia U has a hospital but it's not at 116 St. It's at 168 St.
There's also a hospital around 116th.
2020/04/24 - 10:04 michaelrjames
That is on the main campus of Columbia U at 116th but it's only a small branch of their hospital system (NY Presbyterian Hospital) whose main site (and CU medical school) is at the 168th street Washington Heights site which is vast and one of the biggest & best hospitals in the US. I'm usually heading there when in NY because a friend is a prof there and has an apartment in CU's housing just a few blocks upriver.
2020/04/24 - 23:14 SCC
The hospital on 116th is St Luke's/Mount Sinai Morningside. It's a community hospital that has been further downsized in recent years since it was acquired by the Mount Sinai health system.
I wouldn't be surprised if hospitals aren't showing up in the data. Elective visits to hospitals have been postponed, so these patients aren't riding the subway. People who would be visiting patients in the hospital also aren't riding the subway now that they can't visit. COVID-19 patients, of course, are generally showing up at the hospital by ambulance or by foot and not riding the subway. Doctors and nurses tend to either live in the neighborhood or drive in due to parking garages that many of the largest hospitals provide; those who do normally take the subway are pulling more shifts and commuting to/from the hospitals less, and may also have shifted their transportation mode so that they don't inadvertently infect other people riding the subway. Hospital workers who work 9-5 jobs at the hospitals are likely office admins who are either non-essential staff and/or have shifted to work from home. Hospitals, even though they are some of the few trip generators still functioning, aren't likely to draw more people than usual during the current time period, and have pandemic reasons to reduce their transit generation even further during the current time period.
