Q: Make a count of rows in query table I have 4 different tables:
username table:
| uid | username | user_type|
+-----+----------+----------+
| 1   | Aaron    | CT       |
| 2   | Ahmad    | FT       |
| 3   | Akir     | CT       |
| 4   | Adelyn   | FT       |
| 4   | Adeeb    | AP       |
| 4   | Aizad    | FT       |
| 4   | Adeline  | AP       |

proc_leader table:
| projectNo | process | proc_leader|
+-----------+---------+------------+
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Aaron      |
| 170001    | BGD COL | Ahmad      |

proc_checker table:
| projectNo | process | proc_checker |
+-----------+---------+--------------+
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Adeeb        |
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Adeline      |
| 170001    | BGD COL | Aizad        |

proc_staff table:
| projectNo | process | proc_staff |
+-----------+---------+------------+
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Aaron      |
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Adelyn     |
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Ahmad      |
| 170001    | BGD COL | Akir       |

Then I UNION all tables to create one table and get user_type  of each user:
SELECT a.*FROM(
 (
   SELECT * FROM proc_leader t1 LEFT JOIN(
     SELECT username, user_type FROM user GROUP BY username
   ) t2 ON t1.proc_leader = t2.username GROUP BY t1.proc_leader
 ) UNION(
   SELECT * FROM proc_checker t1 LEFT JOIN(
     SELECT username, user_type FROM user GROUP BY username
   ) t2 ON t1.proc_checker = t2.username GROUP BY t1.proc_checker
 ) UNION(
   SELECT * FROM proc_staff t1 LEFT JOIN(
     SELECT username, user_type FROM user GROUP BY username
   ) t2 ON t1.proc_staff = t2.username GROUP BY t1.proc_staff
 )
) AS a
ORDER BY a.projectNo

For now my output is:
| projectNo | process | proc_leader | user_type |
+-----------+---------+-------------+-----------+
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Adeeb       |    AP     |
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Adelyn      |    FT     |
| 170001    | BGD COL | Ahmad       |    FT     |
| 170001    | BGD COL | Aizad       |    FT     |
| 170001    | BGD COL | Akir        |    CT     |
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Aaron       |    CT     |
| 170001    | ANM BLD | Adeline     |    AP     |
| 170001    | BGD COL | Ahmad       |    FT     |

Then what I want to do is to count user_type for each process and put it in one cell. So I want my output to be like that:
| projectNo | process |     count         |
+-----------+---------+-------------------+
| 170001    | ANM BLD | 1(CT)+2(AP)+2(FT) |
| 170001    | BGD COL | 2(FT)+1(CT)       |

I know I can use GROUP_COncat() to put it in one cell, but how can I do the calculation from received table?

A: Try this:
select
    projectNo,
    process,
    GROUP_CONCAT(col separator '+') `count`
from (
SELECT
    projectNo,
    process,
    concat(count(*),'(',user_type,')') col
FROM(
 (
   SELECT * FROM proc_leader t1 LEFT JOIN(
     SELECT username, user_type FROM user GROUP BY username
   ) t2 ON t1.proc_leader = t2.username GROUP BY t1.proc_leader
 ) UNION(
   SELECT * FROM proc_checker t1 LEFT JOIN(
     SELECT username, user_type FROM user GROUP BY username
   ) t2 ON t1.proc_checker = t2.username GROUP BY t1.proc_checker
 ) UNION(
   SELECT * FROM proc_staff t1 LEFT JOIN(
     SELECT username, user_type FROM user GROUP BY username
   ) t2 ON t1.proc_staff = t2.username GROUP BY t1.proc_staff
 )
) AS a
group by projectNo, process, user_type
) t group by projectNo, process;

A: You don't need to LEFT JOIN each table contained in the UNION.  Rather, just use a single UNION subquery and join that to the username table.
In the query below, I report all three user types for each projectNo, process group, even if the count be zero.  If you really don't want user types to appear at all in the event that their count be zero, you will have to do a bit more work than this.
SELECT t2.projectNo,
       t2.process,
       CONCAT(
           CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN t1.user_type = 'CT' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS CHAR(50)), '(CT)+',
           CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN t1.user_type = 'AP' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS CHAR(50)), '(AP)+',
           CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN t1.user_type = 'FT' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS CHAR(50)), '(FT)')
           AS count
FROM username t1
INNER JOIN
(
    SELECT projectNo, process, proc_leader AS username
    FROM proc_leader
    UNION ALL
    SELECT projectNo, process, proc_checker
    FROM proc_checker
    UNION ALL
    SELECT projectNo, process, proc_staff
    FROM proc_staff
) t2
    ON t1.username = t2.username
GROUP BY t2.projectNo,
         t2.process

Excerpts > Sen bashing
Sen bashing
The Editors | Nov 01, 1998
…Sen deservers to get bashed a bit, because he did, after all, win this year´s Nobel. Even at his best, he can be at his worst. Consider one of the jew areas in which he said something important – his work on the history of famines. On that topic, 1 don´t for a moment question his passion or compassion, especially since he lived through the 1943 Bengal famine at the age of nine. But I do occasionally question his good sense. Sen´s finding was that the starvation associated with these awful events has mainly been due to lack of access to food, rather than lack of its availability; the food, he says, was there all along, except the access was denied. That´s a pretty simple and stark distinction, but amazingly, Sen dresses it up with an absurd formal apparatus.
At the beginning of his 1981 journal article, "Ingredients of Famine Analysis" (one hopes he used that title ironically), we confront a graph with lots of lines and curves on it, In which the horizontal axis is labelled "Food" and the vertical axis "NonFood" and underneath it we read, "With a price ratio p, and a minimum food requirement OA, the starvation set Si is given by the region OAB. If the endowment vector is xi, the person is in a position to avoid starvation…." and on and on in that vein.
All this is in the service of drawing that simple distinction between access and availability before he goes on to the actual evidence.
And even regarding his actual analysis of famines, it´s hard to completely trust his judgment. By solely grinding the socialist axe of access to supply over supply availability, he gives the latter issue a short shrift that is inappropriate.
For instance, he writes sweepingly that the food security of people in the Western capitalist economies "is not the result of any guarantee that the market or profit-maximisation has provided, but rather due to the social security the state has offered."
Really? Could food security have nothing to do with the enormous gains in productivity that the market has brought to the farm? Even Sen himself writes of "deaths on a very large scale" because of famine conditions in China during 1959-61. The way agriculture was then organised probably had something to do with that awful tragedy, just as Soviet collectivism has a lot do with the dreadful prospect of food insecurity currently faced by the Russian people.
But getting back to how he combines those "tools from economics and philosophy", in the 1997 expanded edition of his book, On Economic Inequality, Sen writes, "Even for limited application of the merit principle – giving more than the ´norm´ to the specially meritorious but not less than the ´norm´ to the demented it can be argued that the measure of merit is culture-specific."
He then goes on to dismiss the merit principle thus: "While many of us may be content to live in a society which values the ability to lecture more than it values, say, the ability to make loud, shrill noises by blowing sharply through one´s nose, we might be perfectly able to give long lectures about possible societies in which the latter quality would be the more desired virtue."

When It Comes To Content Marketing, Seeing Is Believing
I have to admit that when I first read the results of a survey of marketers done by PR firm Matter Communications, I was tempted to write this article in a very satirical voice - even more satirical then I normally do. Essentially the survey revealed that when it comes to getting the most bang for your content marketing buck the use of video and visuals has a direct impact on engagement and effectiveness.
My satire was going to speak to the fact that was this survey about content marketing and the use of video and visuals really necessary?
Don't all marketers know that the use of video/visuals greatly enhance and positively benefit their content marketing?
I was going to write this piece in the same vein I did my recent Hey Marketers, Did You Know Men And Women Are Different? In that article I made reference to a quote from Joan Hogan Gillman, Executive Vice President of Time Warner Cable and President of Time Warner Cable Media who said " a majority of clients (advertisers) still create television and online advertisements that are not targeted specifically to women."
But then I realized something. I realized that maybe, just maybe, there are still some content marketers, brand marketers and brand managers and so on who still, despite being almost 2013, do not fully grasp and appreciate the power of video.
So I decided to leave the sarcasm in check (well I can't promise I won't be sarcastic for the entire article) and share the findings with all of you in a more straightforward manner.
The infographic below will speak directly to the following findings:
95 percent (of marketers) believe visual content is very important for online marketing
89 percent are already using or plan to use visual content in social media
87 percent believe visual content is critical for traditional marketing
80 percent plan to budget for production of visual content in 2013
96.7 percent believe that visual content engages best on social media
In discussing the findings Scott Signore, CEO of Matter Communications said that "Brands of all flavors see higher engagement with their customers when they deploy visual content across their marketing disciplines - from social and public relations, to web site content and even static marketing materials like annual reports."
Personally I like his use of the word "flavors" as it paints a sort of Baskin Robbins feel to it. But pop culture references aside, Signore's comment is insightful in that it speaks to the need to integrate - one of my favorite words - video/visual content across all marketing channels and mediums.
The Eyes Have It
In his recent piece for Forbes - 5 Big Brands Confirm That Content Marketing Is The Key To Your Consumer - Brandon Gutman references Virgin Mobile's Virgin Mobile Live and American Express Unstaged, two examples of brands using video and visual content to engage their fans, consumers, prospects and so on.
Here's how I look at the use of video online and why it's important and why consumers like it: Look at your monitor as a TV screen. You don't read TV do you? Of course not. You watch it. Very basic and simplistic for sure but also very true. People want to see things online, not just read. And more and more want to do more of the former and less of the latter.

Why You Should Put Durban on Your South Africa Travel Itinerary
Pictured: Street food vendor in Durban | Photo credit: Wanda Hennig
Wanda Hennig
Let me start with a disclaimer. You probably know a few Francophiles, those weird and wonderful people magnificently obsessed by France who doesn't have a drop of French juice running through their veins other than what they swill down when they pull the cork (or twist the screw top) on a tasty Rhône-style red.
Well, I'm a Durbanophile.
My bias and what distinguishes me from your average Francophile — beyond the obvious geographic and cultural considerations — is rooted in the fact that I was born and bred in Durban. Since I made the San Francisco Bay Area my home-from-home and became an Oaklandophile (you can't cuckold a city so I reckon it's OK to spread the love), I'm happy to admit that I've been compulsively pulled back over and over again.
My Durbanophile tendencies manifest when I meet people in the United States who have been to South Africa, most likely switched planes in Johannesburg, then restricted their city adventures to Cape Town.
And yes, Cape Town is the country's most scenic city with its iconic Table Mountain backdrop and easy access to Africa's most famous wine region.
But I think of Cape Town as Europe-wannabe with its chichi restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops, its upscale touristy waterfront and its profusion of galleries and kultcha.
By comparison, Durbs-by-the-sea, as it's familiarly known, is uniquely African. The term "melting pot" might well have been coined for this sprawling sub-tropical Indian Ocean port — and resort — city with its British colonial roots, where first and third worlds intersect and where Zulu (Durban is the biggest city in the Zulu-stronghold province of KwaZulu-Natal), Indian and European cultures collide, dissect and blend.
Bovine Coffee Klatch
So, for example, the traditional Zulu version of the "coffee" klatch has women paring bloodied flesh from the skulls of decapitated cows, boiling the carved-off chunks of facial meat and serving it on wooden boards along with dumplings — steamed hand-rolled balls of flour, water and yeast — to men who lounge on plastic chairs and wonky wooden benches sipping tea from enamel mugs, chatting animatedly and using their hands to eat the meat.
"Those dumplings are the food of the Gods," says Thabo Zulu.
He is our guide at the Bovine Head Market, a refuge in the frenzy that defines Warwick Junction, site of nine markets (book a tour via Markets of Warwick) on the edge of inner-city Durban that support huge creative entrepreneurship. Around 460,000 commuters a day come and go from this hub. About 6,000 street vendors and up to 8,000 market vendors support themselves by selling everything from apples and oranges to beads, live chickens for rituals and the pot, tailoring skills, spices and medicinal "muti" herbs and much more.
Eat From the Culinary Buffet of Africa with Chef Kuhle Swana in Dubai
Stars, Stripes and U.S. Consular Chef Sandile Ngcobo Cooks in Durban
When I toured, Zulu (our guide) encouraged our group of about a dozen people, from the U.S., Sweden, Germany and other parts of Africa, to sample the boiled meat and dumplings sprinkled with salt — old fashioned and iodized, not Hawaiian or designer or artisanal — poured from a plastic Cerebos container.
While the fare is palatable, it's unlikely to have you scrambling for seconds.
But the good news is, there's a veritable feast of compelling reasons — many comfortingly less "exotic" and including a vibrant "conventional" local restaurant scene — to visit what many South Africans will tell you is their favorite vacation city.
Heritage tour options offer access to both historic and lifestyle "happenings" like the Bovine Head Market and shisa nyama ("hot meat") feasts at township taverns, where butchers' cuts of your choice are grilled barbecue-style over open fires. Enjoy with local beer such as Carling Black Label or Castle Lager.
Dynamic, Delicious Durban
But Durban, with its hot, humid summers and mild to warm winters, its lush greenness, bustling African-city downtown, a philharmonic orchestra, upscale shopping malls (know that Gateway has become restaurant central if you visit), art deco beachfront casino (more restaurants), acclaimed Durban International Film Festival and access to "big five" game reserves like Hluhluwe–iMfolozi, the oldest proclaimed wildlife preserve in Africa with the largest population of white rhino in the world, has a lot more to offer.
I most recently returned to Durban just two short weeks ago. To stay with coffee klatches and the food I can tell you that, same as Oakland, each time I come back I find myself both reacquainting with old favorites and stumbling upon a lot that's new.
Pop-up food markets abound and the city has a good selection of restaurants serving sustainable, seasonal, creative cuisine.
About 15 minutes north of Durban is the resort "suburb" of Umhlanga, which brims with restaurants and is home to The Oyster Box, a destination hotel with sublime sea views that originally opened in 1947 and recently was given a state-of-the-art face-lift. Enjoy tongue-in-cheek colonial splendor, a delightful collection of original art and several restaurants and bars that while pricy, are worth it for the style, the charm and to experience this gem.
If you visit, it's worth exploring the Umhlanga food scene. A bunch of top restaurants have relocated there. Chef Themba Mngoma, who we featured in Cuisine Noir, has recently taken over as executive chef at Little Havana.
Bunny Chow and Peri-Peri Portuguese
For something uniquely local, you need to eat a bunny chow and Portuguese peri-peri chicken.
The city's single largest population group is the descendants of the Indians from India who came as indentured laborers to work on the sugar plantations more than 100 years ago. Mosques and temples plus spices and curries are among the rich legacy — and bunny chow, originally a cheap meal for laborers comprising half a loaf of white bread, the inside scooped out, bean curry spooned into the bread "bowl" and the inside put back to mop it. Bunny chow now comes in many "designer" forms.
For colonial Portuguese, a unique cuisine that had its roots in Mozambique, check out North Beach's unpretentious Neo Café. I had a "half a peri-peri chicken; half calamari" experience there last week. An erstwhile Durban university buddy, visiting from Scotland, had the peri-peri queen prawns. We both vowed we'd be back soonest.
For the record, Durban's best attribute by far is its beachfront.
In fact, there are several beaches, strung together, running past the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium with its distinctive arch and skycar for city-viewing, built for the 2010 Soccer World Cup. The beachfront with its pedestrian walkway, great for strolling or cycling, continues all the way to the harbor entrance.
The beachfront is a hang-out for surfers, kayakers, stand-up paddlers, swimmers, strollers, runners, sun-worshippers, seine-net fishermen and usually at the weekend, robed African priests who arrive early to conduct services that usually involve dunking the faithful — perhaps to exorcise some irksome ancestral spirit.
The swimming beaches are protected by shark nets and tourist attractions include booking a seat on the KwaZulu-Natal Shark's Board viewing boat. You get to watch the nets get serviced and enjoy great views of dolphins, the city and the sunrise.

South Africa's Most Eccentric Hotel and Ancestral Home of the Zulu Blonde: The George Hotel
For the best beachfront coffee and brekker go to Jiran or Circus Circus at North Beach. Anytime after 10 am head for Moyo-on-the-Pier at uShaka Beach for a beer with a view. Check out uSharka Marine World where you'll find the city's aquarium and dolphinarium.
See you in Durbs sometime, happy travels getting here — and if you're coming, know that South African Airways flies daily from New York and from Washington to Durban via a brief stopover and plane change in Johannesburg.

Thus, she says (only a little tongue-in-cheek), the best way to truly understand a country, a city, a culture—and a people—is via your taste buds and your stomach.

COVID-19: What Cuba has accomplished
Liberation StaffJanuary 1, 2022
1,509 6 minutes read
Socialist Cuba, despite the 60-year U.S. economic blockade, has made remarkable achievements in combating COVID-19. Cuba has:
Developed its own vaccines
Begun sharing these vaccines with other countries
Achieved a vaccination rate of over 90%, from 2-year-olds and up
Safely reopened schools to all children Nov. 15, 2021
Deaths per 100K: 73.31
Let's compare this success story to the U.S., the richest and arguably most powerful nation:
Vaccine rates nationally hovering around 61.9%
A violent, right-wing "anti-vax" movement agitating against basic public health
COVID vaccines developed with public funds for private profit
Vaccine hoarding holds back distribution to the Global South for profit
New surges lead to overcrowded hospitals and a crisis of medical worker burnout
Deaths per 100K: 240.18
Why is this the case?
Cuba began to create a rational COVID plan based on a scientific understanding of the virus, right from the start. They promoted accurate information about how to protect oneself and one's community against spread of the virus. They went to work in early 2020 on developing their own vaccines in their renowned biotechnology institutes. Despite the importance of tourism to their economy, the government shut down tourism to prevent infection.
When it became clear that schools needed to be closed for the safety of all, the government provided consistent educational services via lessons on television. The entire health care apparatus in the country directed its attention to supporting the health of the people. When the vaccines finally became available, despite many challenges including a shortage of syringes due to the U.S. blockade, people were able to access the vaccines without obstacles and willingly went to get vaccinated. A major international solidarity campaign was undertaken to donate millions of syringes to Cuba, from Canada, the United States and European countries. As a result the schools are now open, tourism has resumed, and the number of new cases, hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID have dropped dramatically.
This remarkable achievement rests on a foundation of socialist development. The Revolution has prioritized education, from the literacy campaign to advanced education at all levels. The Revolution has prioritized health care, resulting in a universal, accessible and completely free healthcare system. Years ago, Cuba made a conscious choice to develop a biotechnology industry, which was able to rapidly implement a plan leading to not one, but five vaccines. Mass literacy and high educational levels mean in addition that the Cuban population understands scientific concepts.
Cuba's vaccination campaign was launched massively in July. It took about two months to show dramatic effects. On Sept. 19 for instance, there were more than 8,500 new infections and dozens of deaths per day. As vaccinations took hold, the COVID-positive numbers began to drop every day starting Oct. 1. By mid-December, the daily new cases did not reach above 80. Despite the increase in cases the last week of December, only 19 people died in all of that month. This is likely because the high rate of vaccination is preventing severe illness in breakthrough cases.
Cuba has also had a consistent lower rate of mortality in COVID cases thanks to early medical intervention in positive cases. The mortality rate on Dec. 31 for Cuba was 0.86% versus 1.89% in the world, and 2.31% in the rest of the Americas.
Children are also vaccinated from the age of two. As of Dec. 6, some 90% of Cubans had received their first dose. This places the island second only to the United Arab Emirates in terms of vaccination rates. No other country in Latin America has such a high vaccination coverage. No other country in Latin America has produced its own vaccine.
Why there is no anti-vax movement in Cuba
And yet it is not simply the existence of well-educated, well-trained scientists, doctors and nurses. To defeat a pandemic requires a collective effort. Cubans accepted the restrictions needed to stop the spread of the virus not only because they have an accurate scientific understanding of the virus. They also feel a social responsibility to prevent its spread by social distancing, masking and getting vaccinated. Cubans are not fed a steady diet of individualism at all costs. Instead, values of solidarity are instilled in them. That means making sacrifices to help others.
In addition, Cubans trust their government. Not only because the government works to provide health care, education, housing, food, but because the government is always up front and honest with the people. The people understand that the government is not some entity distinct from the people, it is the people.
In the United States, most people have good reason to lack trust in both the government and the mass media. In similar fashion, people in the United States have good reason to distrust the for-profit healthcare establishment and the pharmaceutical industry. This understandable mistrust has been weaponized when combined with racist ideologies and extreme individualism fueling a movement against vaccination, masking and other public health measures.
The false freedom of capitalism means that right-wing politicians and major capitalists are allowed to propagate dangerous falsehoods about COVID and the vaccine, and even threaten scientists and experts who counter anti-scientific myths. Trump as president railed day after day against experts' advice, helping to create great mistrust of the vaccine, and causing needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
The Florida and Texas governors banned mask mandates in their states, even in primary schools! Tesla owner Elon Musk called California Gov. Gavin Newsom a fascist for imposing limits in public sites and worksites. A recall effort was quickly mounted because of his stance, and the top contender promised to ban mask mandates in the state if Newsom had lost.
The mistrust and individualism of millions of U.S. people has grown on top of a lack of scientific literacy. The U.S. education system is well known to be underfunded. Public school curricula are determined state by state and can be influenced by political processes. While this has come to the public's attention most recently in the fight over the alleged teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools, the politicization of education has also negatively impacted science and health curricula, even leading to the failure in some locales to teach basic evolutionary theory, which is essential for understanding how a virus mutates.
COVID-19 in third year highlights United States' capitalist health care crisis
The U.S. is the only developed country that does not have a universal health care system, but instead ties medical insurance to employment. Some 40 million Americans have no coverage at all. Eight-out-of-ten of these are working-class people or their dependents. The health care coverage of others is so poor that they don't seek out the medical attention they need because they can't afford the thousands of dollars in yearly deductible payments. And many immigrants, especially the undocumented, don't use the health system for fear of deportation. They are also denied eligibility for the Affordable Care Act.
Controlled by insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical-device producers, hospital systems and other private corporations, health care, and its fee-for-service model, is a commodity to be sold to those who can afford it. Health care has become a scattered array of often unconnected services, where each service provider seeks to charge the highest price that they can. Expensive cures and costly designer medications are prioritized over basic healthcare because they bring in more money.
Today, the U.S. spends more on health care than any developed nation, but this hasn't brought good health. On the contrary, there has been an across-the-board decline in well-being, health and life expectancy, and a widening in the wellness disparities between rich and poor.
It is no secret that the U.S. healthcare system is badly broken. How can it be fixed? There is an excellent model in Cuba. Why look to Cuba, a "lesser developed" country, given the "advanced" state of U.S. medical knowledge for cures?
We should look to Cuba because Cuba has:
Lower infant mortality than the U.S. In recent years, Cuba's infant mortality rate — a little more than 4 deaths per 1,000 births in 2016 — is lower than in the United States, (5.6 per live births), and is among the lowest in the world. Unfortunately, Cuba just reported that of the 99,093 births in 2021, the infant mortality rate rose to 7.6 deaths. This was mainly due to pregnant women suffering from COVID, that in turn led to premature births, and a number of early induced births to save the life of the COVID-positive mothers and the baby.
Higher life expectancy. Cuba's life expectancy (80.62 years) is higher than the U.S. (78.69 years).
More doctors per person. Cuba has 9 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants,) the highest number in the world, while the U.S. has 2.9 MDs for every 1,000 people.
And accomplishes this for less money. Cuba's $6,928 per capita for healthcare is 73.68% lower than what is spent per person on healthcare than the United States.
Where spending less brings much, much more
We should look to Cuba because, despite extremely limited resources due to economic sanctions imposed by the United States for almost 60 years, Cuba has managed to guarantee access to care for all segments of the population.
We should look to Cuba because its health delivery system shows that efficient health care can be provided at much less cost to the people when the focus is on primary care and prevention.
We should look to Cuba because learning how to do more with less, we can have the best of both worlds — the current U.S. advances in cures combined with the Cuban integrated health care model. We should look to Cuba because even under a very difficult situation, socialism means a better future for people.

STRONGRAIL® Architectural Handrail Incorporated Into Hurricane-Proof Homes!
A hurricane resistant model home on Topsail Island in North Carolina has been fitted with Strongwell's new architectural handrail system, STRONGRAIL®. The home was designed by 1st Class Homes NC, with the help of three engineering firms, to withstand hurricane force wind to Category 4 (140 MPH).
1st Class Homes selected STRONGRAIL® because of fiberglass handrail's engineered wind-load strength, durability of finish and attractive appeal to homeowners, designers and builders. Potential customers can purchase the entire home package from 1st Class Homes or may select STRONGRAIL® to renovate and upgrade existing homes, docks, piers, condominiums and commercial structures.
The low-maintenance STRONGRAIL® handrail is cost-competitive with traditional railing materials. STRONGRAIL® is a better choice than PVC, which has no comparable strength or durability to fiberglass and degrades rapidly in coastal environments. When compared to lumber, the high quality pultruded shapes that comprise STRONGRAIL® will not splinter, stain, warp or require repainting for the next 10 years or longer.
Advantages over competing aluminum and steel systems include resistance to oxidation, discoloration and pitting. In the highly corrosive salt-water environment, STRONGRAIL®, with molded-in color, will outlast aluminum and steel systems with virtually no maintenance.

Swingers in Central PA say although taboo, the lifestyle helps their marriage

Some of you might think the next subject's a little racy, other may find it a unique way to actually help a marriage. We're talking about swingers.
Swinging is a lifestyle where you share your partner with other couples. But one thing swingers don't share is the traditional view of marriage.
It's like inside any home in Central PA, and the couple we interviewed is like most couples…But they're not just any husband and wife- they're swingers.
They say, "I can tell him anything, what I like, what I don't like, who I like and that's fine…It's exciting to us, we go home and have better sex."
The husband and wife met 9 years ago after their divorces. They started swinging when their friends encouraged them to attend clubs specially designed for those who want to have sex with other couples. Those clubs are right here in Central PA.
They say it, "brings us together each time we go out. Every time we do something, it's like we come home and I always come home to him, no matter who I may see or who I may find attractive, he's my number 1."
They say swinging, also known as the Lifestyle or LS is a sexy and educational experience.
"I can watch somebody, oh there's a new trick I didn't know. Then I can go home and practice it. So I get to try new tips without having to read a book, see a movie, it's live and that in itself is sexual tension, sexual energy."
Another couple who's been married since October of last year agrees.
They say, "Most adults have seen porn or have watched porn of any kind. When you go to a club like that, depending on how it's set up, if there's someone doing that, it's like you're watching a live pron. So for a couple who might not do anything, it still sparks that interest, gets your labedo going and worked up."
There's more to the lifestyle than meeting people at clubs. Holli and Michael of Playboy TV are known around the world for their radio and television shows that focus on swinging.
They say, "What draws people to us is the honesty. We share the good and the bad, we don't hide that we're parents."
The duo says swinging can help your marriage.
"We talk a lot about the TTLC- trust, talk, listen and communicate. Monotony is good as long as it doesn't become monotonous. It works because when you trust each other, you'll talk. When you talk, you listen because of the trust and then you'll communicate."
Andreya Jones is a licensed social worker who specializes in sex therapy. She works with several couples who swing. She says the Lifestyle works for most couples.
Jones says, "With couples who know who they are and individually and as a couple, and have that before they swing, then they are fine."
Jones's clients are your everyday people. They could even be your friends and neighbors.
Jones says, "teachers, they're social workers, police, they're just exploring their sexuality in a different way. But in a way that isn't going behind their significant other's back."
Swingers say the Lifestyle isn't right for everyone but it's available to anyone. The Internet serves as a social networking tool for swingers to meet. More common in bigger cities like Los Angeles, here in Central Pennsylvania the lifestyle's still Taboo."
One couple says, "You're in a very conservative area. Until there's a little more around here it will take another 20 to 30 years before they're comfortable with the idea."
Until then, these couples' lifestyles remain private.
Another couple says, "It's the fear of judgement, the fear of how they're going to react."
Within the swinger community, they look to one another for support.
"It's just a very close-knit family style group of people who are open and they'll back you up." "That's why we do it. So why bother worrying about the world when eventually will catch up. In the meantime, we live our life and enjoy it."
There are rules that many couple follow, such as the pretty woman rule. This means couples can't engage in kissing with others for fear of falling in love. Swingers say rules can be amended as needed.

The SEA Model WC-3000 Robust Water content System was designed to provide aircraft and wind tunnel users with a single, rugged sensor to measure Total Water Content (TWC). The instrument consists of one heated stainless steel element. The element is directly heated by low voltage dc current flowing through the element. The element is maintained at a constant temperature, typically 140 °C, by a digital, closed loop, control system.
Given the dimensions of the element and the true airspeed of the airflow the power level set by the control system to maintain temperature can be converted directly into the water content of the air stream.
The instrument uses a scoop shaped sensor to collect both liquid water (LWC) and ice crystals ( IWC). The combined total of LWC and IWC is referred to as Total Water Content (TWC).
In addition to temperature control for the heated element, the deice system is also temperature controlled. During operation the deice power is adjusted to maintain the instrument housing at a constant 50 °C, which is comfortably warm to the touch. Maintaining the instrument housing at a constant temperature provides a stabilized thermal environment around the sensing elements which leads to improved LWC and TWC measurement accuracies.
The system consists of three major components, the sense head, the power box and the control unit. The sense head is mounted in the air stream. The power box is mounted near the sense head. The control unit is mounted where it is convenient for the user.
The power box for the Robust Head can be redesigned to fit within a standard PMS or DMT canister.
The control unit can be built in many different packages from a standard 19" rack unit that is 4U high to a Zeus rail unit that is 6" x 6" x 10" deep. The control unit can also be imbedded in SEA's M300 DAS.

16 Female-Run Businesses on Why They're Supporting the Women's March
Designers tell us: #WhyIMarch
By Tiffany Yannetta Updated Jan 20, 2017, 1:07pm EST
Share All sharing options for: 16 Female-Run Businesses on Why They're Supporting the Women's March
Photo: Boston Globe/Getty Images
What started as a planned march on Washington has turned into a global event. On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of women across the world will come together to make their voices heard in conjunction with the Women's March on Washington.
The mission statement is simple and clear. According to the March's official page: "We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families — recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country."
We asked a handful of female-led brands why they're choosing to support the marches this weekend and what causes are the most important to them. See their responses below, and see our list of organizations you can donate to or volunteer at, regardless of whether you're planning to attend a march this weekend.
Leana Zuñiga, Electric Feathers
The Electric Feathers team is supporting and participating in the Women's March because we believe it's imperative to mobilize right now. We support all causes and organizations that champion human rights, and feel a sense of urgency to protect the environment because further harm is irrevocable and must be ameliorated.
We also support the ACLU and are hopeful that one day all individuals' rights and liberties will be implicitly guaranteed. There are many other organizations doing great things and we are learning about them every day. This is an education for us all and we hope to participate in making the world a better place for ALL of us.
Kelsy Parkhouse, Carleen
I'm excited to be attending the Women's March with some of my best friends. I have a lot of reasons for going, but reproductive justice is pretty high on the list. I think, as a country, we need to do more to make abortion safe, legal, and truly available to anyone who thinks that it's the best choice for them.
The incoming administration has me extremely worried, and I think it's important to make our voices heard on this issue and many others. I also really want to elect a woman president in my lifetime! Representation matters, and I want to see our elected officials get more and more diverse.
As much as I love everything about Planned Parenthood and have used them for some of my own healthcare, I've been doing my best to support some less widely-known organizations that are doing really important work. A friend pointed me toward Women With A Vision, Sister Song, and National Advocates for Pregnant Women, all of which I want to devote more to this year especially!
Still in progress/I have a lot of reasons #whyimarch. See you in DC on Saturday @womensmarch
A photo posted by CARLEEN (@carleen_us) on Jan 17, 2017 at 12:07pm PST
Sali Christeson and Eleanor Turner, Argent
We march to give a voice to those who aren't heard. We also march to raise awareness to people that think women's equality is a silly cause and a non-issue.
We are both passionate about women's health issues and are advocates of Planned Parenthood. Proceeds from every suit sold for the march are being donated to the organization.
Wray Cook, Wray
I'm attending the March in DC because I feel that it is important for the nation to know that women have a voice. I find support among women in my industry already and feel that we are stronger when we unite. The fashion industry generally does not make statements about women and politics, but as we grow to be a more woman-dominated industry (especially in the recent years), we're seeing a strong resistance to the incoming administration. We find it very important to unite and show the world what we think.
Even as a smaller company, I know that there are things we can do to make a difference. We donate to Planned Parenthood and we contribute to women's education in developing countries. It's our hope that with the tools we can all provide for women, our nation and the world will see an increase in woman leadership.
One great organization that I recommend to support women is called the International Rescue Committee. For $58, you can provide a year of schooling for a girl in need in places like Lebanon, Congo, and Afghanistan. It's organizations like these that empower women to become world leaders and to have a voice.
Celine Semaan, Slow Factory
I support the Women's March on Washington because progress and women are intimately tied. We cannot allow our nations to go backwards, because there is still so much more to achieve: equal pay across ethnicity and religions and gender, reproductive rights, and basic human rights. Because racism is still alive and well, and we cannot allow it to be normal again.
As a refugee and immigrant, my heart goes out to all those forced to leave their home because of the wars of greed and terror. I support Black Lives Matter because as an Arab who has lived under white colonialism I can relate, and I want people to live with dignity and respect.
I'm marching for solidarity. To connect to women (and men) who are engaged in being watchdogs to protect our rights. We have to realize that the election wasn't the end of a fight, that this march does not culminate the battle. This is the beginning, so we need to organize and we need to roll up our sleeves and work. And to make our work matter we need to amplify. That is what is so powerful about this call to action.
We can support each other to make changes and to improve the community that immediately surrounds us. Working locally has an incredible impact and is an action we can take every day without the government's permission.
Becca McCharen, Chromat
The whole Chromat team believes in fighting for equality. There's a feeling of paranoia, the end of truth and facts, and the dawning of a new era of persecution of "the other" in the current political climate. We know that no one is entitled to a happy ending, and this has further strengthened our drive to create the world we want to see: a diverse, inclusive world where woman of all races, ages, creeds, abilities, and places on the gender spectrum have equal opportunities.
We're huge fans of the Audre Lorde Project, a center for QPOC, and the Sadie Nash Leadership Project, a teen empowerment organization!
See you at the #WomensMarch this weekend!! Harnessing now more than ever the power to join together and be the change we want to see. Photo of @chescaleigh @tk_wonder + @urbanbushbabes' @ciprianaquann protesting for #BlackLivesMatter.

Regardless of politics, women's right are human rights. There are so many causes that are near to my heart and I wish we could support them all at the same time. For the Women's March on Washington, we are focusing on Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and the Human Rights Watch, organizations that fight to serve and protect our rights, our safety, our health, and our families.
Starr Hout, Apiece Apart
We're honored to come together this week to march in solidarity with women — with our customers, sisters, families, children, friends, and communities. As a women-led brand in the fashion industry, it's an opportunity to unite with our fellow business owners to amplify our voices and communicate messages of support, love, and in defense of our rights.
Casey Larkin Blond, Mr. Larkin
I'm marching for my daughter, my niece, my son, and the future generations. It's our responsibility to make the difference, just as past generations have done for us. Our Denmark-based staff will be marching in solidarity in the Women's March Copenhagen, and the Texas team will be marching in Women's March on Austin.
Aurora James, Brother Vellies
The obvious answer [on why I support the march] is to say that "women's rights are human rights." Which is true. But I think digging a little deeper for me, personally, it's to stand up for the women and kids out there who may be victims of sexual assault to say we hear you. You have a voice. We will not let your voice be discounted and we are here to stand up for you. We need to scream this message into existence until America becomes an echo chamber for unity.
Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyade, Lady Grey
We support the Women's March to stand together in solidarity and speak out for women's rights, for human rights, for healthcare, and for equality. There is so much at risk right now and we can't afford to be silent about any of it. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." And if you know anything about Lady Grey, we aren't quiet about what we stand for!
We're particularly concerned about the state of health in this country right now. Access to healthcare is a human right.

This is the most important time in many of our lifetimes to stand up and take our voice to the street! Not only are our reproductive rights being threatened, but our families are being denied healthcare and a proper public school education.
My passion lies in the health and wellbeing of our nation and world. Human rights (including a women's right to choose) and equal access to education are at the top. Given a solid education, the next generation will help save our society and our planet. Many of the politicians have already done so much damage and are reversing much of the good work and progress of the Civil Rights Movement, Roe v. Wade, and basic constitutional rights.
The main right being upheld is the right to bear arms, which should be treated very differently — screening for criminal record and mental illness, which is on a staggering rise, thanks to our broken healthcare system.
Lauren Brokaw, Stella & Bow
I'm supporting the Women's March because I do believe that women's rights are human rights. Growing up, my mom and dad both taught me that my voice matters and all people, no matter their race, gender, orientation, etc., deserve respect. I believe that anyone who has some sort of social platform should show support for those who don't. Having grown up in a family where charitable endeavors were very important, I wanted to continue this and support the march and women's rights through my work.
Carol Miltimore, Seek Collective
I plan to march on Saturday because I think it's very important to make our voices heard and known in ways that are peaceful and cause a fierce impact. The strength and determination of women are unstoppable. I support the march because I believe that women should have the power of choice over their own bodies and healthcare. I believe in equality for all races, religions, and genders. I believe that immigrants should be protected and valued. I believe that the environment and planet need to be safeguarded.
We are entering uncertain times, and frankly the new administration scares me. It's essential we continue to fight against injustice every day going forward. We have several years ahead of us to work hard at protecting the people and organizations that need it. We do not want to go backwards.
Nikki Kule, Kule
As a female business owner, I believe in solidarity with women. Women's rights are human rights. This is a moment in time where we as members of the fashion community can come forward and voice our opinions. I don't want to take a back seat on issues that are important to me and women everywhere.

We all have stress in our days, sometimes it's the stress of too much work, sometimes it's the stress of boredom. Exercise is one of the best ways to deal with stress, and Tai Chi is supreme at stress relief.
One of my students last night mentioned that she always slept better after class. Others have reported sleeping better for 2 or 3 nights after just one class. And all of my students leave Tai Chi feeling calmer and more relaxed.
What makes Tai Chi so effective? It's a combination of mental, physical and breath focusing in harmony. The mind leads the motion, including the physical motions of the body and the internal energy movement. Breathing slowly in harmony with the movement increases intake of oxygen, which sends more energy through the body. Exercise in general has been proven to increase endorphins which can improve your mood and relax you. Plus, the movements of Tai Chi were designed with a purpose, for martial arts, and for effective use of the energy flow throughout the body.
Another student of Tai Chi, Michelle Thorns, recently wrote a great blog on stress. Enjoy her post, and may your stress be relieved by doing Tai Chi.

Speak easy: How neural networks are transforming the world of translation
Translation software has gone from a joke to a genuinely useful business tool, thanks to machine learning

2. Speak easy: How neural networks are transforming the world of translation
Neural knowledge
Towards the end of April 2017, an update was released for Google Translate allowing it to decipher between English and nine Indian languages using neural machine translation technology. Previously, Translate only supported translations between English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. This was an essential step, as for multilingual countries like India, which has 23 official languages, translation is often required for domestic communication, not just international.

Google highlights that: "This new technique improves the quality of translation more in a single jump than we've seen in the last ten years combined". Yet adding more languages also had an unexpected benefit: that neural technology speaks a language better when it learns several at a time, similar to how it's easier for humans to learn a language when they know a related one. This means if there isn't a lot of sample data for one language, such as Bengali, but there is a lot for another, like Hindi, then the translation is able to use one to intelligently fill the gaps in the other.
Google Brain, the company's dedicated deep learning and AI research project, recently announced researchers there are using neural networks to aid language translation from speech to text. A user speaks the language they want translated and it's then written in a different language straight away eliminating the need for a transcription of the text in the original language.
Translating speech directly to text can be useful in a number of ways. One example is Robot Lawyer's Do Not Pay, which was originally built to help people work out if they had to pay a parking fine or not, but now also helps people apply for refugee status in countries where they will typically not speak the native language. Another example is Babylon, an AI-powered health app that helps users diagnose themselves through a series of questions. Opening it up to other languages increases the number of people it can help.
Improving translation
According to Rick Rashid, founder of Microsoft Research, in the 10 years between 2000 and 2009 there was no change to word error rate in automatic speech recognition (ASR) software that transcribes speech into text.
But, thanks to the development and implementation of deep-learning neural networks, researchers at Microsoft, the word error rate in translations was improved drastically.
"In 2012 I was able to stand up on stage in Tianjin, China and have my own voice simultaneously translated from English to Chinese live on stage," Rashid says. "This was a testament to the huge improvement in word error rates and to the translation technology we put in place."
This technological jump could aid the business world, where organisations span multiple countries and continents and where clients or colleagues often don't speak the same language. In particular, it can help SMBs grow faster and expand into areas of the world where the language barrier would otherwise present a significant obstacle.
It may have a huge impact on cross-industry learning too. Communication across borders would be vastly improved, and the sharing of information and data would be made more efficient as a result. More business models can be adapted and put to use in different industries to foster ground breaking change.
There's still much more to be explored with neural networks and Gelenbe still thinks the most exciting neural network discoveries await us.
"To understand how our brain does very complicated things very quickly and so efficiently, is still before us - the future will be more exciting than the past."

Dragon Cross imagines a world where powerful beings exist as the ruling class, separate and above the human population. They are the dragons, capable of taking on the form of humans at will, but never accepting them as equal. Dragons live according to a pre-determined fate, and they know who their next leader is destined to be. Only Talon doesn't want the honor. He has become disillusioned with the dragons' culture and his own family's unforgivable cruelty. Talon's headed out on his own, traveling among the humans as one of them, and living according to his own code of honor.


Pictured below, alongside Paul Golding (second from left), leader of the fascist group Britain First, is Jason Marriner (blue shirt), an ex Combat 18 fascist thug and convicted football hooligan. This is the sort of person that Britain First keep company with. One reason, among many, to demonstrate against Britain First next Saturday.
We, the undersigned, support the protest – organised by Unite Against Fascism, trades unionists and others – in opposition to the intrusion by the fascist group Britain First in Rochdale on 22 July. The event page for the protest is here.
The man arrested for the racist attack on Finsbury Park Mosque – which killed one man and injured eleven other people – is reported to have followed Britain First's Golding and Jansen on Twitter. After the attack, Britain First posted that 'Finsbury Park Mosque was notorious as a haven for Islamist terrorists and extremists'. Thomas Mair shouted 'Britain First' before he brutally murdered Jo Cox MP in 2016.
The Britain First leader was also recently filmed trying to intimidate people outside East London Mosque, while members of the Mosque were working to give aid to people affected by the horrific fire at Grenfell Tower. An antisemitic priest who was due to speak at Britain First's recent Birmingham rally was detained at the airport. This shows that these fascists are hostile not only to Muslims, but also to Jews and others. Former EDL leader 'Tommy Robinson' – pictured with the leaders of Britain First – has also been trying to stir up Islamophobia.
Now Britain First are trying to create division by racialising the issue of crimes of sexual exploitation. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this. Sexual exploitation is an appalling crime but it is not linked to ethnicity or religion. We call on people to join us in opposing the attempt by the fascists of Britain First to hijack this issue in order to further their political agenda and to demonise and punish an entire community.
We oppose Islamophobia, antisemitism and all forms of racism.
We urge everyone to attend the demonstration in opposition to Britain First in Rochdale on 22 July.
