Reviewed: Big Finish's The Behemoth
Posted By: Mez Burdett
Racism and slavery are not often touched upon in deep terms within Doctor Who these days. There are, of course, the odd debates or mentions about the subject (2017's Thin Ice being the most recent and one to briefly admit to both at the same time), but fleeting glances at what happens when bigots are given too much power is all that Doctor Who has looked at.
The Behemoth is Marc Platt's vehicle to delve deeper into these terribly wrongs, with the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) and his friends (Constance Clarke, played by Miranda Raison, and Flip Jackson, played by Lisa Greenwood) guiding listeners along the way.
Whereas televised Doctor Who should be tackling these areas, it's also a flagship family adventure show, fun for all the family, and one that can't necessarily go too dark when delving into these particular recesses. Children can only take so much, after all. But Big Finish has a slightly different following, and certainly one that can be asked to consider the darker sides of human inhumanity and disgrace without the need for comedy or quipping. And boy, does The Behemoth do that.
The Doctor lands in 1756, in Bath, and soon finds trouble… and not just from Mrs Theodosia Middlemint (Georgina Moon), who seems to have taken quite a shine to him. This starts off as quite an upbeat satire, but, as you might expect from the writer of Ghost Light and Spare Parts, turns into a gloomier – but very enjoyable – affair.
What we have here is a pure historical – the only sci-fi elements are the Doctor himself and the TARDIS. For those that may not find that their kind of Doctor Who story, it's worth reconsidering that right here and now. Platt's tale of murder, extortion, and revenge is an eloquent one, told with sensitivity and brutal honesty. There are, refreshingly, no heroes and no villains – just human beings doing their best. And sadly, what they sometimes do best is take advantage of others around them.
Of course, whilst there is a stark and bleak reality to this story, there are also moments of kindness, not solely thanks to the acts of the Doctor and his friends but also from those that have had wrong done to them. This tale doesn't just show the nastier side of humanity but also its better side as well. There are two sides to every coin and The Behemoth seems eager to prove that.
Perhaps this isn't the greatest Doctor Who story ever told, but it's an important one that deals with issues and problems that are still happening in the world today.
The Behemoth is out now from Big Finish, priced £14.99 on CD or £12.99 as a download.

Purpose: Identify and describe factors that influence Texas Physician Assistant (PA) graduates to initially select and/or remain in primary care practice. We sought to answer these questions: 1) What factors influence PA graduates to select and/or remain in primary care in Texas? 2) How do these factors influence the PA's choice to initially select and/or remain in primary care? and, 3) Based on factors explored, can strategies be developed to enhance placement of graduates in primary care settings?
Methods: PA licensure data was extracted from the Texas Medical Board to determine graduate characteristics from 3 of 8 Texas PA programs, including age, gender, ethnicity, race, years since graduation and current practice type. A stratified purposeful sampling frame was used to identify subjects for participation in scripted telephone interviews. Transcripts were analyzed to identify, code, and sort emerging themes using NVivo 10 (QSR International, Australia).
Results: 1556 licensed PAs were identified from 3 participating Texas PA programs, representing 21.5% of all licensed PAs (n=7253) in Texas as of January 2015. Of these, 35% (n=548) were practicing in primary care. Descriptive analyses revealed the majority of graduates working in primary care were female (70.6%) and white (57.5%), with a mean age of 40. A total of 24 PAs were interviewed. Factors impacting on participants' decisions to select or remain in primary care fell into 4 general themes. These were relationships developed with patients, personal gratification from "making a difference" in the lives of patients, the intellectual challenge and/or variety of problems seen in the primary care setting and the influential role of educational experiences.
Conclusions: While previous studies have examined factors influencing physician assistant career choice, this study contributes uniquely to the literature by qualitatively examining graduates perspectives on factors influencing their career decision. Our findings suggest that PAs decisions to work in primary care are motivated by similar factors as physicians. The decision to select or remain in primary care was influenced by the individual's desire for meaningful patient relationships that provide a feeling of making a difference in an environment rich with variety and intellectual challenges. Results also suggest that educational experiences can be leveraged to improve the number of PA graduates selecting primary care as a career choice.


Actually, it isn't totally straightforward. Florida legalized Medical Marijuana for patients with qualifying conditions in 2016. Notably left out in the Amendment 2 was verbature that allowed patients to smoke medical marijuana in public spaces. For the record, a whopping 71 percent of Florida voters approved that amendment.
When Scott forced some unforeseen verbature into the bill, many voters were not happy about it. You see, when Governor Rick Scott signed the bill, he included a provision which defines "medical use marijuana" not to include "possession, use or administration of marijuana in a form for smoking". You can see where this would cause a conflict. It severely restricts the forms of cannabis available for legal medical purpose.
This has been a very contentious topic, and there are current standing lawsuits and dialogue on both sides of the argument. It could be conveyed by public health officials that smoking anything is not healthy.
On the other hand, there is an opinion held by a few officials that legalizing the possession and consumption of raw flowers will lead to more recreational use. As an aside, many regions of Florida have already Decriminalized possession, so penalties may only be a fine without arrest.
What the Florida Legislature has done to implement the people's will has not been done in accordance with what the amendment envisioned. Whether they [patients] have to smoke it or not, who am I to judge that? I want people to be able to have their suffering relieved. I don't think this law is up to snuff.
If this law is not changed by Mid-March, he will drop the state's appeal to a prior court decision that declares banning smoking cannabis violates a constitutional amendment. This would in effect force the law to change.
The Department of Health currently regulates Medical Cannabis through it's Office of Medical Marijuana Use.


I recently helped a customer upgrade a PostgreSQL instance from 9.4 on RHEL to 10.x on Ubuntu. While it initially sounded daunting, the use of pglogical and some planning actually made it rather straightforward. While there's nothing new or original in this post, I still felt compelled to write it up for anyone else that might find the info useful as an example in their own endeavors.
pglogical is a logical replication system implemented entirely as a PostgreSQL extension. Fully integrated, it requires no triggers or external programs. This makes it faster than Slony, Londiste, et al. It is also (roughly) the basis upon which logical replication in PostgreSQL 10 core is built.
Instructions for installing pglogical and the needed packages can be found here. It will need to be installed on both the source (old Pg version) and destination servers (new Pg version).
NOTE: If you already have one or more values in shared_preload_libraries, simply append pglogical to the list of values already there.
The pglogical tool runs at the database level which means that global objects like roles are not copied. Therefore, you need to ensure these objects are created yourself.
At this time, pglogical does not replicate DDL, so it is necessary to ensure that both the source and destination have matching schema object definitions before attempting to replicate.
NOTE: Make sure to edit 0.0.0.0/0 to match your actual CIDR or IP address and dbname to match the db you wish to replicate.
Adjust the port= and dbname= parameters to match your source Pg instance. If replicating more than one database, repeat this command for each database, changing dbname and dbname_provider accordingly.
You should change public in both the above if you are using a different schema for your objects. If you are using multiple schemas, simply repeat the above and change public appropriately.
NOTE: The nextval of sequences will be synced roughly every 60 to 70 seconds.
Adjust the dbname= parameter to match your target Pg instance. If replicating more than one database, repeat this command for each database.
Adjust host=, port=, and dbname= parameters to match your source PostgreSQL instance. If replicating more than one database, repeat this command for each database, changing dbname and subscription_name accordingly.
If the query returns initializing then it is copying the original source data to the destination. If the query returns replicating then the initial synchronization has completed and replicating is now happening in real time as data changes.
and then re-point your applications at the target instance.

Should You Hire a Singing Coach?
I've been singing my whole life and if I went to some of this that is written about how to sing, I would never try to sing. But I'm going to quote from one such article for it does have some good points.
So should you hire a coach? Let's review one of those articles and I'll add my comments within (comment)s.
"Singers tend to get all of the glory. They get the applause, they get the attention and they get the awards. However, one thing that they didn't get is there on their own. In fact, the great singers always credit their singing coach with helping them to attain greatness. It is easy for anyone to claim that they are a top notch singing instructor, but what truly makes a wonderful singing coach?
Singing coaches come in a variety of different disciplines. Some of them specialize in classical techniques, while others prefer pop music, and others prefer the Broadway genre. In order to find the best one for you, you must determine what type of singer you want to be. If your dream is to sing opera working with an R&B singing coach will not necessarily prepare you for the demands of your chosen music field.
Professional experience is also important in evaluating a singing coach. The old saying may say "those who can't do teach," but that is not what you want in a singing coach. Instead, you want someone who has had experience in what they are teaching you to do. Ideally, if they have had extensive performance training that is what you want. However, extensive teaching experience may be another indicator of a good teacher.
How much a singing coach charges is important to many people as well. Unfortunately, we are living in difficult economic times and that means that not everyone can afford extra lessons. Generally singing lessons range from half hour sessions to a full hour. Typically singing teachers charge a dollar a minute which means that your lesson could cost you as much as $60 an hour if not more.
I'd join a choir, barbershop group, etc., the instruction is free, or buy a book. There are some great books that cover everything you'll need to know and do and for a whole lot less money.
Take "Singing for Dummies" for instance. $18.23 on Amazon. get the companion book "Singing Exercises for Dummies" only $16.40 and the shipping for both will be free as the order will be over $25 what Amazon asks for free shipping.
Let me review what you'll find in those two jewels.
Part 2 Improving Your Singing covers exercises to improve singing, breathing etc. because though it was perfect when we were babies, it may not be now.
Aaron even gives student success examples.
There are lots of options so I'll close for now and come back with a new post with the other great courses.
So go on and teach your self.

Q: First Report after recycling (12 hrs by default) is taking very long to generate in SSRS We have a report hosted on one of our SSRS Server, which gets called from our web application when user clicks on generate report. Most of the time it is very fast (1- 2 secs), however when SSRS server recycles once in 12 hrs (default), first report after that recycle is taking very very long time (more than 20 sec).
And apart from this recycling thing we also felt that there is some slowness in report generation if we leave it idle for sometime. So we tried to address this issue by pinging the home page of SSRS server in every one hour. By doing this it helped us bringing the time to the range 13 - 15 sec. And then we pinged the report page directly which brought down the range to 6 - 8 sec.
So I have 2 questions here:
1.What is the ideal way of solving the slowness after recycling.
2.And does SSRS really sleep if there is any inactivity for certain period? If yes, what is the best solution for this?
Thanks

A: This might not be the best solution, but at least a workaround. Set up a subscription for one of the SSRS reports so that it runs right after the scheduled recycle. You can select NULL delivery provider so it's not trying to do anything with the report, just run it. This does actually go through the motions of running the report and should get things going.

A: It sounds like the SSRS data is being flushed from RAM.  If you have multiple SQL Server instances on the SSRS server, make sure you've appropriately set the memory limits so they are not flushing your SSRS instance data when it is less active.  Best option would be to increase the total amount of RAM on the server hosting SSRS.

Police investigate leak of Wisconsin volleyball players' private images
By Cindy Boren
October 20, 2022 at 10:17 a.m. EDT
Wisconsin won the NCAA women's volleyball championship last season. (iStock)
An investigation has begun into how images and videos of University of Wisconsin women's volleyball players, intended to be private, were shared online, the school announced Wednesday evening.
One photo, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, showed players posing with their sports bras lifted and appeared to have been taken after the team clinched the Big Ten title in November. A statement from the Wisconsin athletic department offered no details other than to say university police were "investigating multiple crimes, including sharing sensitive photos without consent."
"UWPD is not investigating the volleyball student-athletes for wrongdoing in this matter," the statement read. "Our top priority is supporting our student-athletes and we are providing them with the appropriate services and resources."

— Wisconsin Badgers (@UWBadgers) October 19, 2022
Players contacted university police when they became aware that the material had been distributed, and most of it has been removed from websites where it was posted.
"The unauthorized sharing is a significant and wrongful invasion of the student-athletes' privacy, including potential violations of university policies and criminal statues," the athletic department statement read.
Wisconsin's team has played in the past three Final Fours, winning the national championship last season, and reached the final three times in the past decade. This year's team, ranked fifth in the nation, is 13-3 with a 7-1 Big Ten record.

Q: failed to connect to a database in B1if sometimes i have this error when i try to connect to my database in B1if :

the question is how to fix that ?

A: The Error happens when B1i don't get a connection to the DB. That should not be a problem because B1i repeats the process after a minuten and then the connection should be there.

A: We fixed this by Installing the 64 Bit version of B1DIAPI.x64. Not sure why that worked.
Note you need to update the SLD links for your database and SBO-COMMON - the jcoPath will likely be different - replace the "Program Files (x86)" with just "Program Files".

Cardinals Clinch 3rd Straight NL Central Title

St. Louis Cardinals' Jason Heyward (22) is greeted by teammates Matt Carpenter (13), Jhonny Peralta (27) and Jon Jay after hitting a grand slam off Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bobby LaFromboise in the third inning of a baseball game in Pittsburgh, Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
The St. Louis Cardinals clinched their third straight National League Central Championship on Wednesday night as they defeated the division rival Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 and split the double header.
Not only did Wednesday night's game secure division win for the Cards but they also earned win number 100 on the season for the fifth time in franchise history; something that they haven't done since 2005.
In the first game of the day, although St. Louis was defeated 8-2 by Pittsburgh, the Cards welcomed Adam Wainwright back to the mound for the first time since April when he injured his Achilles and was expected to be out for the remainder of the season and perhaps even the start of 2016.
Wainwright made an appearance in the eighth inning out of the bullpen, throwing twelve strikes of the fifteen pitches he threw, striking out one. His appearance, although short was something that Cards fans were so eagerly awaiting.

"Spider Man" on Bway Postpones Again, til 3/15: Beware the Ides of March?
"Spider Man: Turn off the Dark" won't officially open until March 15th, set back from February 7th. And January 11th. And December 21st. At least. Who can remember?
The word came just a little while ago, as Bono and Edge, the show's composers, finally saw the $65 million musical. They immediately imported their record producer, Steve Lillywhite, to work with the singers and the show's soundsystem.
But Bono and Edge also saw that the show is not ready for official reviewing even though it's been playing to sold out audiences at the Foxwoods Theater since November 28th. Now that all the injured actors are healing, the composers and Julie Taymor can address the show's other problems.
This will be murder from a pr angle: wait for the NY Post to come out with aaxes grinding. The joke will be that one more postponement might make the show miss the Tony deadline of April 30th. And that actor Christopher Tierney will be completely healed by the time they do open!
If it takes another 3 or 4 months it won't matter.


Bangladesh Skill Development Institute (BSDI) and Daffodil International University (DIU) led the weeklong GMW celebration in collaboration with Bangladesh Bank. To develop the saving habits of the younger generations, the organizers of the Week encouraged policymakers to participate, inviting them to engage with young Bangladeshis. DUI's GMW2018 was the largest celebration yet, reaching the highest number of children, both directly and indirectly, since GMW was initiated in the country. As in previous years, a variety of activities were organized in Bangladesh for GMW, including policy dialogues to promote financial literacy. This year a national conference, Youth Talk, was coordinated to encourage the younger generation to learn about money matters. A fun debate program aired on Nagorik TV to promote the GMW. Through an interactive Brain Game, students learned about effective ways to save and got answers as to why and how they should save. ACCA and British Council organized a game competition for school children. The Chittagong unit completed the game in record timing. There was a big session, which was conducted by Mr. Hasan from BSDI Dhaka. The children called it the best session yet in Chittagong. The media gave great support this year. Radio Media made a formal announcement for GMW2018, reaching a few hundred thousand young listeners. Through the media the DIU covered 8 districts indirectly. By livestreaming policy dialogue on Facebook, the DIU was able to reach audiences far and wide. This year, leaders from different organizations participated, and hearing their opinion was really fruitful. The DIU hosted a Q&A session for banks and financial organizations, who offer child and youth friendly products, to help them address their problems in getting young people to sign up for their Child Saving Services. The DIU added a new message on saving this year, promoting saving in respect to climate change issues, focusing on the theme of "Plant a Tree and Save the Earth". Each guest attending the GMW2018 event received a plant.The Master class on Money Matters Matter, given by Mr. Md. Sabur Khan, was seen by two/three hundred thousand young peoples, as it was broadcasted by Campus TV. During GMW2018, the Ye! Community arrived in Bangladesh with young entrepreneurs from different regions coming forward and receiving a great positive response for their startups. The event has become a well-known brand in Bangladesh and this year several Financial Institutions asked BSDI and DIU to organize Financial Literacy generating events.
Global Money Week, an initiative of Child & Youth Financial International, one of Dream, Save, Do's global advisory partners, is an annual financial awareness campaign built to inspire children and young people to learn about money matters, livelihoods and entrepreneurship. These themes closely align with Dream, Save, Do and so felt the Week provided a wonderful opportunity to promote their work. In preparation for Global Money Week, Sesame Workshop created and sent out a social media guide with sample posts and hashtags to all our local Dream, Save, Do production teams. Sesame Workshop Bangladesh promoted Global Money Week through the Dream, Save, Do show on ABC Radio 89.2FM. The Sisimpur characters were interviewed about how they make choices and what their aspirations are. Sesame Workshop also coordinated events with local teams in Brazil, China, India and the United States.
Under the leadership of Daffodil International University, JobsBD and Bangladesh Bank (the Central Bank of Bangladesh), Global Money Week was celebrated once again in Bangladesh in a grand manner. The continuing patronage of the Ministry of Education of Bangladesh, the office of the Prime Minister (A2i Program) have also been key and significant this year in pursuing the celebrations.
Bangladesh's GMW2017 was the largest celebration it has achieved since Global Money Week was initiated in the country five years ago. In addition to celebrating with the financial sector, this year has also seen the strong involvement of other key governmental bodies, such as the ICT Ministry, Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Labor. Strong coordinating organization also came from financial institutions, NGOs, and a network of universities and schools that disseminated the activities to all districts of Bangladesh beyond Dhaka (the capital city).
As in previous years, a large number of activities were rolled out in Bangladesh for Global Money Week. This includes workshops and sessions for children and youth, sessions and visits by bankers to schools in which they educated children on how they could save better, essay writing competitions, ringing the bell at the stock exchange, video and selfie challenges, money museum visits, a multi-city youth entrepreneurship fair, as well as many other idea generating activities focused on how saving and earning could be further promoted for youth from the perspective of youth.
The creation of a concept note on the need for improving financial literacy of young people.
The design of a multi-year and multi-stakeholder project plan.
Drafting the funding structure of the national initiative through bank CSR funding.
The development of a multi-tier strategy on delivery and modalities of FinLit needs of young people.
The development of a training module suitable for various age levels.
Bangladesh has therefore shown that GMW has the potential to be used as a vehicle that goes beyond advocacy.
Finally, Bangladesh organized a Grand Gathering and Closing Ceremony of governmental delegates, bankers, and student leaders, which continued this year in the National Senate Hall.
The celebration of Global Money Week continued this year in Bangladesh – with greater coordination and larger goals set for 2016. Daffodil International University continued its role as the lead promoter and coordinator of the nationwide program of Global Money Week in the country. The celebration was patronized by the Ministry of Education, supported by Bangladesh Bank (the Central Bank of Bangladesh), and the Prime Minister's Office of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, which aimed to ensure that GMW2016 would emerge as a national initiative covering multiple activities and sectors.
Compared to previous years, the GMW organizing committee in Bangladesh took great strides to ensure that the outreach to children would go beyond the capital, Dhaka. The committee organized a structure wherein youth leaders and coordinators would be present for each of the eight divisions of Bangladesh involved in expanding the reach of the program across the country.
GMW 2016 in Bangladesh included a wide range of activities such as a press conference with major media agencies in the country, a formal inauguration, ringing of the Dhaka Stock Exchange Bell, workshop and seminars to create awareness, competitions for kids about the importance of savings, essay writing contests, post-card making exercises answering the speech bubble "I save because…", industry visits for kids to see what future jobs they may pursue, a visit to the money museum, a learning through doing program with banks, drama and arts initiatives that creatively expressed and taught money awareness and visits to various educational institutes to foster cooperation amongst schools for the empowerment of children and youth as economic citizens.
A special focus on vulnerable children was included in this year's Global Money Week in Bangladesh through the coordination between the Ministry of Education and youth leaders and coordinators that have travelled and reached out to the remote and marginalized areas, especially to those young people living on the street.
Unique to Bangladesh were its efforts to creatively promote savings in a smart way. They were promoting how smart savings could be achieved not only through thriftier spending, but also through changes in young people's and the public's everyday attitudes and behaviours. This was promoted by a campaign shown through social media and posters spread across schools in Dhaka between 14 - 20 March. Each day was dedicated to a specific way smart saving, and included saying no to water wastage, food wastage, overusing electricity, avoiding unnecessary luxuries and actually starting to save money with a future goal in mind.
To promote and encourage young Bangladeshis to become more proactive in reshaping their financial future, children and youth who demonstrated great potential as young savers and future entrepreneurs were given special recognition. This is in addition to the poster-making competition that was done across the country's capital, Dhaka.
A number of activities were promoted across various national media platforms that included radio, TV, and print media. Moreover, events were organized that encouraged partners and guardians to speak directly with children about money matters.
GMW2016 in Bangladesh was capped off by a Grand Closing of the global celebrations with government delegates, industry executives, and various other stakeholders. The honourable guests included the Secretary of the Ministry of Education, the Chief Representative from the Bangladesh Bank, and the Director-General of the Office of the Prime Minister. This is in addition to various high-level stakeholders from multiple sectors within the country, along with a large number of young leaders, who gathered to emphasize the importance of developing financial literacy, citizenship and entrepreneurship skills from a young age.
The celebration of Global Money Week continued this year in Bangladesh, coordinated by a larger number of stakeholders who had even bigger goals than the previous year. Patronized by the Ministry of Education of Bangladesh, supported by Bangladesh Bank (the Central Bank of Bangladesh), and with Daffodil International University as the lead promoter of Global Money Week in Bangladesh, the celebration emerged as a national event that covered multiple activities and sectors.
Global Money Week in Bangladesh included a wide range of activities including a press conference with major media agencies in the country, a formal inauguration, ringing of the Dhaka Stock Exchange Bell, workshop and seminars to create awareness, competition for kids about the importance of savings, essay writing contests, post-card making exercises answering the speech bubble "I save because…", industry visits for kids to see what future jobs they may pursue, visit to the money museum, mind mapping to vision their future, a learning through doing program with banks, drama and arts that creatively expressed and taught money awareness, and visit to various educational institutes to foster cooperation between schools for the Global Movement towards empowerment of children and youth as economic citizens.
To promote and encourage young Bangladeshis to become more proactive in reshaping their future and that of finance, children and youth who have shown great potential as young savers and future entrepreneurs were also awarded.
Complementing these activities, the Youth Foundation of Bangladesh also led a number of activities with Mirpur National Primary School, Laurel Kinder Garten, BD Hiking Team, Radio Amar 88.4fm, Me4all friends group, SM Creation, and Help line 98. They have done this through events that talked directly with children, their guardians, and youth groups from different areas of Bangladesh. As well, they have also done radio talk shows and various social media campaigns to reach more people.
The Global Money Week in Bangladesh was capped off by a Grand Gathering of Bankers, Entrepreneurs and Stakeholders attended by the Honorable Secretary of the Ministry of Education, the Governor of the Bangladesh Bank, and various high-level stakeholders within the country with senior representatives from multiple sectors and a large number of young leaders to emphasize the importance of financial literacy, financial education, and entrepreneurship being developed from a young age.
It is through continuing initiatives and partnerships like those exemplified by the participating organizations in Bangladesh that showed how Movements could truly impact majorly the perspectives throughout the country about empowering children and youth as economic citizens.
Bank Bangladesh, Enterprise Competitive Institute and Dhaka Stock Exchange along with many universities started celebrating Global Money Week from the 5th of March. Bank Bangladesh, Enterprise Competitive Institute of Daffodil University and Dhaka Stock Exchange officially started the Global Money Week 2014 celebrations in Dhaka, with the vision to inspire and educate young people to become entrepreneurs and make them aware of money matters.

Liverpool South Parkway Mtogo store goes football mad with Premier League transformation
Football fever has hit Merseyrail as Liverpool South Parkway has been transformed into a Premier League dressing room to celebrate its re-launch.
The Merseyrail station's Mtogo convenience store was shut over the summer and the rail operator has teamed up with Cadbury to open the shop in style.
The store – which sells tickets, sandwiches, treats, Costa Coffees and more – will show off its new look during a 'Fun Day' on Thursday 3 October with freebies and games taking place.
Cadbury will be handing out free chocolate bars and football-branded items and there will be a foosball table in the shop for passengers to exercise their competitive streak.
There will also be a competition for passengers to win either two Premier League football match tickets or a family ticket to Cadbury World by answering the following question:
How many teams are in the Premier League?
The competition opens on 30 September and closes on 1 November. Passengers can enter by filling out an entry card at Liverpool South Parkway's Mtogo store.
Suzanne Grant, Commercial Director at Merseyrail, said: "As Liverpool South Parkway's Mtogo store is one of the busiest on our network, we were keen to make the most of the opportunity to showcase this in collaboration with Cadbury.
"Liverpool is a truly football-obsessed city so decorating the shop to celebrate the beautiful game was an obvious choice.
"We hope people enjoy the Fun Day and come down to check out the store, take part in the activities and make the most of all that is on offer."
There are ten Mtogo convenience stores across the Merseyrail network offering anything from meal deals, fresh milk and Costa Coffees to magazines, newspapers and train tickets at competitive prices.
There is also a large range of vegetarian and vegan-friendly treats available.
Merseyrail is the most punctual and reliable rail network in the UK, with consistently high scores for passenger satisfaction and has received multiple national award wins for customer service and punctuality.
The self-contained network offers the most affordable fares in the country and operates over 600 regular services per day, every 15 minutes, to 68 stations throughout the Liverpool City Region, including 4 underground stations in the city centre that receive services every few minutes.
"Liverpool is a truly football-obsessed city so decorating the shop to celebrate the beautiful game was an obvious choice."

Psalm 103 focuses a great deal of attention on the reasons why the palmist is consumed both with blessing the Lord (103:1) and with exhorting others to do the same (103:20-21). The multiple manifestations of God's mercy, grace, and power can be summarized in the reference to "the steadfast love of the Lord" (103:17). The psalmist confesses and proclaims the praise and exaltation of the Lord because of all that characterizes Him and how His character is then shown in relationship with those who fear Him.
I believe that His glory is further magnified in this psalm through a reference to the use of His memory, namely, "he remembers that we are dust" (103:14b). He God desires to bless us, but he also remembers the downward pull of sin perpetually at work in us and through us.remembers that we are weak and fragile and continually showers His own with mercy and grace. Because human weakness and fragility is also manifested through sin and rebellion, we are constantly in need of reminder of two things: God alone is God and we are accountable before Him.
If redemption functioned by itself, without the stabilizing effect of the Jubilee, it could have meant that the land could have fallen into the hands of few wealthy families and the rest of the families in the clan were bound by debt-servitude. The year of Jubilee erased all of that and purposely returned everything back to where it had been before the poorer families got into debt.
The grace of God was evident in the laws that he gave to His people. This grace was manifested in the laws and in the postponement of judgment. He made a way for His people to prosper and yet, should the flesh appear in its rebellion, God still created a system that could be a check on greed and the accumulation of wealth. Grace provides such a balance in a way that undermines human confidence in identifying its own solutions to problems that God may permit in judgment and in lessons learned.
I will flesh out the reality of God's wisdom in subsequent reflections on the Jubilee.

The team has been crowned champions of the Sudan Premier League in seven of the past nine seasons, and throughout its history has won the championship 25 times during the league's 45 seasons and 7 Cups in 24 Seasons – thus making it Sudan's most successful football team.
2017 is a significant year for the club as it will also move in to one of the world's largest stadiums, a new 75,000 capacity stadium.
The name Hilāl is the Arabic word for crescent – a name chosen on a night when the crescent of the moon was visible in Omdurman. Also, significantly the club was the first in the world to be named 'AL-HILAL'.

Hello, everyone! I am not even sure what I am going to say on this post, so I will just wing it lol.
I did babysit the little one -my best friend's son and practically my nephew- today. It went okay. He got a little whiny at times, but he's one, it's bound to happen.
And then I left the house with this post still sitting in my editor haha.
I had to run out and get a new pair of headphones because my Snoopy pair doesn't work in both ears, wah. :( I also picked up my niece's birthday gift. :D Now that I am home, it is time to work.
ViperGirl85 Well, a random post is cool. No problem with that. There are many times I just jot stuff down. But the funny thing is, they don't get posted. Why? Because I think they're stupid. So I discard them. But, your post here is just fine.
I wish I was organized enough to write all my posts in advance. I'd get a lot more done.
I sometimes write my posts in advance too; only problem with that though Is I don't always get on the computer to post them on time :( Hope you have a great weekend yourself!
I say post them! I bet there is nothing wrong with them. :) And thank you!
I never did get them all done in advance, lol.
I didn't even get as far as writing them out. I'm not sure what happened, lol.
ViperGirl85 Okay, then I will start posting some noise random posts. Why not.

Media releases and statements
2016–17 a strong year of communicating evidence-based research
The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) has today released its Annual Report 2016–17, which demonstrates the Institute's achievements in providing timely, accurate and sound research to inform public policy.
Acting Director, Nicole Rose PSM said the 2016–17 results show the great work of the Institute, which achieved or exceeded all performance targets outlined for the year.
"This year, AIC researchers produced 71 research products, 32 of which are available free on the AIC's website, further adding to the Institute's collection of crime and justice research reports," Ms Rose said.
Research topics included violent extremism, methamphetamine use, cannabis use, armed robbery, fraud, child exploitation material, human trafficking and slavery, homicide, bail support and procedural justice.
"A hallmark of the AIC's research in 2016–17 was the launch of Crime Statistics Australia, a comprehensive online resource providing a one-stop-shop for current and trend data on Australian crime and justice datasets.
"In 2016–17, 34 per cent of the AIC's research was used in government publications, and a further 16 per cent was used in parliamentary documents," Ms Rose said.
"The year also saw strong recognition of the closer ties with the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, with the AIC working closely with the ACIC on a range of projects associated with organised crime.
"Looking to 2017–18, research from the Institute will focus on improving criminal justice responses to family and domestic violence, exploring the futures of crime and justice, examining the links between volume crime and organised crime, and reducing demand for prison.
"The Australian Institute of Criminology had a strong year communicating evidence-based research to inform policy and practice in 2016–17.
"We look forward to another year of promoting justice and crime reduction strategies through the dissemination of timely, accurate and sound research on crime and justice issues in Australia," Ms Rose said.
The Annual Report 2016–17 can be found on the AIC website: www.aic.gov.au

Quiet Village is a suspended public plaza located in the far South West corner of Portage Park, at the intersection of the heavily trafficked Addison Avenue and Meade Ave.
Though the surrounding neighborhood is densely built with historic Chicago bungalows, the area lacks any true public space, and retail buildings at the intersection currently lay mostly unoccupied. With no public space and no retail in walking distance, the area has little choice but to be completely car-centric. And though the area still maintains the population density of an average Chicago neighborhood, it completely lacks the urban amenities that make other neighborhoods more vibrant. This imbalance negates the original strength of the neighborhood as a place where families could have the suburban benefits of home ownership, and the urban benefits of walkable amenities.
Quiet Village is an oasis above the traffic, a gathering space to draw locals, and reinvigorate its surroundings.
Quiet Village was produced for the Chicago Architecture Foundation's exhibition 50 Designers, 50 Ideas, 50 Wards, curated by Sarah Dunn and Martin Felsen of UrbanLab.

Effects of glial uptake and desensitization on the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its analogs at the cat dorsal root ganglion.

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics September 1983, 226 (3) 876-884;

P Shinnick-Gallagher
Responses to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and 13 structurally related analogs were recorded under voltage clamp conditions from isolated cat dorsal root ganglia (DRG). All of the analogs were applied by superfusion at a concentration of 1 mM. Of the 13 structurally related compounds, only muscimol was more effective than GABA in its ability to produce an inward current at the DRG membrane. Complete (1 microM-10 mM) concentration-response relationships were obtained for muscimol, GABA and 3-aminopropane sulfonic acid. Muscimol was most potent at all concentrations, however, the relative order of potency for GABA and 3-aminopropane sulfonic acid was concentration-dependent. In addition to producing differences in their peak currents, the various agonists demonstrated different time courses in their respective rates of decay. When the glial uptake system for GABA in cat DRG was inhibited by substituting lithium for sodium or by the addition of 1 mM nipecotic acid to the normal Krebs' solution, the membrane responses to GABA, SL-75102 and isoguvacine were facilitated, whereas the responses induced by the other analogs remained unchanged. Although the process of uptake altered significantly the decay phase of GABA responses when GABA was applied by superfusion or by iontophoresis, nipecotic acid inhibition of uptake did not appear to affect GABA-induced desensitization that was apparent when GABA was applied either by superfusion or with long iontophoretic pulses. GABA and all of the analogs in this study demonstrated cross-desensitization, each being able to depress the action of the other. Our results suggest that all of the active GABA analogs appear to be acting at a similar GABA receptor on cat DRG and this GABA receptor is coupled to a chloride channel.

Irresistible US performer Lynn Ruth Miller's visa struggle to stay in the UK
87-year-old American comedy performer Lynn Ruth Miller is not just an international treasure but a national treasure. And she eventually got the UK government to agree…
Here she explains…
YOU CAN'T GET IT ALL
But I always try.
I have a little voice inside me that says, "Yes you can!!! If you want it, it is yours."
And I listen to it.
So it was that I decided to move to Brighton, England, at the nubile age of 81.
A man named Bill Smith promised me a fascinating job, a living wage, a beautiful home and a visa to guarantee that the British Government would welcome me.
I believed him.
I should have known that anyone with such a boring name would be up to no good, but I did not. I just listened to that stubborn little voice whispering, "Go on! Do it! Do it!"
I sold my California home, packed up my feathers, tassels and thongs and crossed the ocean, filled with optimism and hope.
I would begin a new life! I would speak like Queen Elizabeth and learn to drink tea. I would say, "Are you well?" to strangers I didn't care about and bitch about the weather. I would be British.
It didn't turn out that way.
I was housed in a flat above a fish and chips place and fired from my job in three months with no living wage and no visa. I still had an unmistakable American accent and I drank coffee.
But that little voice whispered in my ear, "You can get that visa… You can get that living wage… You don't have to smell like fried fish… Move on!"
I managed to get a 'tier five' visa that involved me leaving the country every three months and I moved to London where the action is.
Then the little voice said: "You have to find a way to stop running hither and thither. You are not as young as you used to be. Besides, travel is expensive. You have to get a permanent visa. Then you will be safe."
"What about a living wage?" I asked.
"We will get to that later," said the little voice.
So it was that I found a lovely sponsor who kept reassuring me that the three month routine was enough and I kept saying, "But it doesn't give me medical care," and he said, "Take your vitamins."
But then the worst happened.
The Home Office disqualified my lovely sponsor and I tried to find another person to give me proper papers. Each one I found either wanted to charge me three times the price of a new home in Chelsea to do the work or else decided I was too big a risk.
Meanwhile, the little voice kept saying, "Do not give up. You really CAN have it all."
So I didn't.
I talked to lawyer after lawyer and each one said, "The only options open to you are to marry a Brit, study at a University or to be so talented that the British people cannot bear to let you go."
By this time, I was 86 years old and had lived alone for so long I did not close the bathroom door. My memory was like a sieve and felt I had never had any talent. But I DID have that little voice.
"If you marry, you will have to cook him three meals every single day and do other uncomfortable things," it said. "If you study, you will have to use intelligence and that went when you lost your waistline. Try that talent thing. What do you have to lose?"
That was when I stumbled on an angel named Peter.
He and I consulted more lawyers who told me to give up and go back to America.
But Peter said, "There must be a way. Do you know anyone who can convince the Arts Council that you are indispensable?"
And I said, "My dogs are dead."
But the little voice said, "Just try!"
I managed to convince a lot of people who were sympathetic to the elderly to write letters swearing I was a national treasure and, to my amazement, The Arts Council bought it.
"See? What did I tell you?" said the little voice. "The British love eccentric old ladies."
But, sadly, the Home Office does not.
They wrote me and said, "Well, the Arts Council says you are a 'Global Talent' from America. But why are you still here?"
And I said, "Because there is a pandemic going on and I had to stay here or die."
I said this once.
I said this twice.
And, finally, another angel named Kate wrote them a letter and so did cherubic Peter and the Home Office buckled.
"OK," they said, "we will let her stay. After all she is 87. How long will it be?"
Success at last!… Lynn Ruth Miller can stay in the UK!
AND I DID IT!!
I GOT IT!
I AM HERE FOR FIVE YEARS!
THE BRITISH SAY I AM TALENTED.
I GET MEDICAL CARE.
But I didn't get it all.
To my dismay, the visa says I cannot work as a sportsperson.
A tragic end to 87-year-old Lynn Ruth's hopes of attaining track, field, boxing or Olympic stardom…
No rugby, no cricket, no soccer for me.
I will have to return my helmet and chest protector to Bat And Ball.
"Stop bitching," said the little voice. "You win some; you lose some."
Don't I know it?

Comic Daphna Baram, the alien police, the Fringe & a Royal in a Croydon disco
An Irishman, a Scotsman and an Israeli…
In yesterday's blog, Cassandra Hodges mentioned applying for a visa to work in the US.
But, of course, several people working on the UK comedy circuit are not British.
Daphna Baram – an Israeli – has been here for several years and has two shows at the Edinburgh Fringe in August – Bombs, Booze and Haggis Strikes Back and Something to Declare.
This is the second consecutive year for Bombs, Booze and Haggis – "We are flyering it as a Scotsman, an Irishman and a Jew," she told me.
"But not in that order," I suggested.
"No," agreed Daphna.
"I have hay fever," I warned her when we started talking.
"I have a sore back," she countered.
"From what?" I asked.
"I was just carrying a heavy bag. I'm generally broken."
Daphna had a heart attack several years ago.
Daphna Baram has got Something To Declare
"I think," she told me, "for the first few years after a heart attack, you are very healthy because you had the scare, you quit smoking, you go to cardio rehab. You want to get back to your glory. A year after the heart attack, I was super-fit: I could run for 45 minutes, I was quite thin, I was on top of things. But then comedy happened. It's more of a struggle keeping fit when you spend every night in pubs."
"Have you," I asked, "explored the option of not spending every night in pubs?"
"I am a comedian?" answered Daphna. "What am I supposed to do?"
"So what's your solo show about?" I asked, sneezing.
"This is my fifth Fringe year and third solo show. Something To Declare is a show about me immigrating to this country – stories about my efforts to integrate into British society. Partly successfully… No. I think wholly successfully… I think it will be interesting to do it in Scotland. It is a bit of a different premise in Scotland."
"You now," I said, blowing my nose, "have an indefinite leave to remain in Britain."
"Yes," said Daphna, "finally."
"Matt Roper," I said, "just got a visa for America which says he is an alien with extraordinary abilities."
"I tried to get that here a few years ago," Daphna told me. They called it a Highly Skilled Migrant at the time. I had been under a year in the country and I had published a book in English, I was writing for national newspapers, I had a Fellowship at Oxford University…They said: Listen, madam, you are not a Highly Skilled Migrant. So I had to register myself with the alien police for a few years."
"The alien police?" I asked. "What? Slanted-Eyed Greys?"
A 'grey' alien in Wikipedia
"No. I was the alien. They were the police. Then they changed the name to something else."
"Probably couldn't take the laughter," I suggested.
Daphna's show Something To Declare is partly about The Britishness Test which aliens have to take.
I sneezed, then asked: "That's the one with questions no British person can answer? Like What year did Richard II ascend the throne?"
"They've got a particular obsession with Henry VIII," Daphna told me, "which I ascribe to the fact the Home Office is in Croydon and he was a bit of a lad."
"Eh?" I asked, startled. "What has Croydon got to do with it? Did he go down the disco there?"
"Yeah," said Daphna. "He was a player. I can see him do that."
"I think," I said, "you have failed the Britishness test here."
"I passed!" she insisted.
Daphna is one of the orphans of Cowgatehead. After the chaos caused by the Free Fringe take-over of the venue, she is now performing at Just the Tonic at the Caves. The Cowgatehead fiasco lost her £600. She is currently crowdfunding.

I first met mad inventor John Ward around 25 years ago. Despite being admittedly eccentric, he has held down a stream of very sensible jobs. He used to work for the Barclaycard credit card company and, at one time, held a gun licence for several weapons.
I was never nervous about him working at Barclaycard.
Yesterday, he told me about something which happened almost ten years ago, when he was working at the occasionally controversial Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre for American-owned Aramark Facilities Management who had a contract with the Group 4 security company which had a six-year contract from the UK government to run the detention centre.
No government contracts are ever simple.
On February 14th 2002, Yarl's Wood was almost entirely burned down during a riot by disgruntled detained would-like-to-have-been immigrants. It did not re-open until September 2003.
John tells me that, "one particular morning, a little while after the place had settled down to sort out the mess caused by the fire, there were phones ringing everywhere, telling people about the imminent arrival of a VIP from the Government who would be on a whistle-stop tour of the site and would we all 'please see that everything is cleaned up spick-and-span' for the VIP who could not be named, even to us, for security reasons.
"All the cleaning staff set-to with a vengeance and not a speck of dust could be seen after the Cleaning Manager went round everywhere with a pair of white cotton gloves on to test for any small grains of dirt which might have escaped the sudden high profile purge.
"Even though the Centre was 'stood down' and not operating normally due to the fire damage, cleaners still cleaned everything spotless each and every single day regardless, as the contract to do so was given by Group 4 and was still 'active'. You literally could have eaten your dinner off the floor it was kept so clean. But it was cleaned up even cleaner than clean for this soon-to-arrive government VIP. They did not want him to see dirt anywhere.
"A short while before the VIP was due to arrive, word got round as to who it was. The reaction on the faces of the staff was something to behold.
"The visit, when it happened, took all of 12 minutes. The ministerial Jaguar sped into the Reception Area and the VIP got out with his entourage and wafted into the building and, almost as soon as the Minister arrived, he departed."
John Ward tells me they had no feedback on what David Blunkett, the blind Home Secretary, thought of the super-clean state of the Centre and, he adds, "the comments of his guide dog were not recorded either, but I heard some of the comments of the staff who had been desperately re-cleaning everything for the visit. They were not impressed by irony."

Lies, damned lies and Census statistics: there are too many foreign immigrants here in Britain…
I wrote a blog a couple of months ago about how Britain is full of immigrants.
Well, last night, I filled in my Census form.
I didn't mind doing it, but a friend of mine was more incensed than Censused because her father was in the British Armed Forces and they lived in a variety of other countries around the world as well as the UK, employed by Her Majesty's Government.
My friend was born in Malta. Her brother was born in West Germany.
The Census form, which partly aims to get figures for immigration and to see how many non-Britons are living in the UK, has buggered it up good and proper and the figures on which the government bases its future social policies will be wrong.
The form asks Were you born abroad? There's no category for British citizens born abroad, let alone the children of British Forces born abroad while their fathers and/or mothers were sometimes risking their lives for Britain. So an Italian born in Rome will appear in the statistics on an equal footing with a British passport holder born abroad – both will count as foreigners who entered this country to stay here.
The form also asks, in effect, when you first moved to the UK full-time. My friend's father's last posting abroad was in West Germany, so the answer to this question might be 1973. Or it might be 1958, a couple of years after she was born and first came 'home' from Malta; but that was not permanent residence.
As far as the Census figures will show, she (born in Malta) and her brother (born in Germany) will be two non-British people who became foreign immigrants into the UK.
In fact, by anyone's standards, they were two British people – technically "Forces' dependents" – returning to Britain.
And don't get my friend talking about other ways in which the children of Forces' personnel are disadvantaged – "I feel like a stranger in my own land," she says. "Always have done. Probably always will."
She once applied for a clerical job with a defence industry company in the UK but was turned down – after at first being accepted – because the company said it could only employ people born in the UK.
She presumably counted as a security risk because she was not "British", despite the fact her British father served in the British Armed Forces and she was born in a British military base.
So these bloody foreigners have been coming over here, stealing our jobs and getting free healthcare for years, haven't they? Not just children of the British Armed Forces but all those bloody Indian immigrants – like Cliff Richard (born in Lucknow) and Joanna Lumley (Srinagar).
It's been going on for years. The place has been inundated by Indian immigrants – There's that one who starred in Gone With The Wind – Vivien Leigh (born in Darjeeling, lived in Calcutta), comedian Spike Milligan (born in Ahmednagar and he became so pissed-off with not being considered "British" by Whitehall bureaucrats because of his birthplace that he eventually took Irish citizenship)… and then there's that bloody foreigner LibDem MP Paddy Ashdown (born New Delhi).
They should all have been sent packing back to where they came from. Back to… err… erm…
And let's not even mention that dodgy cross-dressing comedian bloke from terrorist-friendly Yemen – Eddie Izzard (born in Aden)
Or William Makepeace Thackeray (Calcutta).
So who is British?
Now there's a question.
One that the Census won't adequately answer.
In fact, one that the Census figures will mis-represent.

Q: Using the haskell map function with a string I'm trying to use the map function in haskell
I've got this:
lexi :: String -> [[String]]
lexi x = map (words.lines) x

I want to be able to put a string in to x, so it can be run like this
lexi ("string here")

But get the error
Couldn't match type '[Char]' with 'Char'
Expected type: String -> String
  Actual type: String -> [String]
In the second argument of '(.)', namely 'lines'
In the first argument of 'map', namely '(words . lines)'

Couldn't match type 'Char' with '[Char]'
Expected type: [String]
  Actual type: String
In the second argument of 'map', namely 'x'
In the expression: map (words . lines) x

I know that if I use
lexi = map (words.lines)

it works fine when I run lexi ("string here"), but need the variable to use later on
Could some please explain why this doesn't work and how to fix it?
Thank you :)

A: This answer refers to an old version of the question.
So let's get this quite clear (please always add the type signature of all functions you're talking about!)
function :: Char -> [String]

Well, then the type of map function is [Char] -> [[String]], i.e. String -> [[String]]. But you want the result to be only [String], not a triply-nested list. You probably want to join the lists of two levels together; in general the function to use for list-joining purposes is concat (or more generally, join from the Control.Monad module). In this case, you have two different options:

*

*Join the result of each call to function. I.e., instead of mapping function alone, you map join . function, which has type Char -> String. Mapping that has the desired type String -> [String].
lexi = map $ join . function

*Join the final result of the mapping, i.e. lexi = join . map function. This combination of mapping and joining the results is actually an extremely common task, it has a special operator: monadic bind!
lexi x = x >>= function

New version
So we know that
words, lines :: String -> [String]

thus words . lines can not work, because you're trying to feed a list of strings into a function that only accepts a single string. What you can of course do though is map words over the result, i.e. map words . lines. That has in fact the correct signature and probably does just what you want.


Gardening update! A little bit late, but look at my little garden!
All the big ones at the end are green bean plants. They are going crazy! And the ones in the middle are pea plants. The mini carrots at the far end have yet to do anything. Isaac's planter is above mine in the picture. His is an herb garden so, even though you cannot see anything, there are several tiny oregano and basil plants growing (no spearmint as of yet).
Sadly, our aloe plant, Barnabas is not doing as well, but I think that's due to all of the cold spells we've had. Once it warms up, I'm sure he will perk right up! Stay tuned! I hope our little gardens continue to grow and thrive!
