What's Really Behind WWE RAW's Ratings Decline?
Posted by Fred Morlan | Apr 20, 2021 | Columns
One of the most debated points of the past few years has been regarding the decrease in ratings for WWE RAW in the United States and the effect that cord-cutting has had on those ratings. Some people have argued that the drop in RAW viewership is primarily due to cord-cutting.
I'm going to define two terms for the rest of this article. Cord-cutting will be used to exclusively refer to customers canceling their subscriptions to cable or satellite television services. The "USA Network universe" refers to the number of American households that the USA Network is available in.
I used Wrestlenomics' viewership data for WWE RAW to calculate the average number of viewers per month. I included every episode in each month to determine those average viewers. I chose to do this due to concerns that picking a single episode may result in basing calculations off of an episode that had abnormally high or low viewership for the time period in question. My source for USA Network universe size is Byron Media.
I was able to find statistics for the size of the USA Network universe for a handful of months from a reputable source – either directly from Byron Media or other media that cited Byron Media's data. These months were February 2017, May 2017, February 2018, September 2018, January 2019, June 2019, January 2020, July 2020, and January 2021. For all other months, I simply calculated a linear rate of change for the months in between the two known endpoints.
An example calculation follows. I know the size of the USA Universe in February 2017 – 91,726,000 – and in May 2017 – 91,319,000. To approximate the size of the Universe in March and April 2017, I have to calculate the rate of change between the two months with known data.
We'll round that to -135,667 to have a whole number as our rate of change. We then subtract that number from the February 2017 measurement to have an approximation for March 2017. We again subtract -135,667 from the value for March 2017 to have an approximation for April 2017.
There was only one period where there was an increase in the size of the USA Network universe: between May 2017 to February 2018, the number of households the USA Network was available in increased by 139,000.
Between the period of February 2017 and January 2021, USA Network lost an estimated 6.1 million households. In that same time period, WWE lost approximately 1.2 million viewers on an average episode of RAW. The argument that the decrease in RAW viewership is largely due to cord-cutting would require that about 20% of the people who dropped the USA Network to also be viewers of RAW.
However, at its maximum, RAW viewership only made up approximately 3.75% of the USA Network universe at its peak, and it hasn't been above 3% since March 2019. In fact, RAW viewership hasn't even been 2.25% of the USA Network's households since March 2020, hitting a low point of 1.89% in July 2020, and was 2.22% in our most recent month, January 2021.
I don't doubt that RAW's viewership numbers have been affected to some extent by cord-cutting. But I also find it very unlikely that RAW viewers are a dramatically disproportionate percentage of people who have dropped cable, particularly when they're such a relatively small percentage of the households that have access to USA Network.
A graph of each month's percentage of households with the USA Network that watched RAW. The average rating of each month's RAW episodes was used for comparison against that month's universe size for USA Network. The trendline is in gold.
The percentage of the USA Network universe watching RAW peaked in April 2018, which was the month of WrestleMania 34, but May and June 2018 have similar audience percentages to those same months in 2017. It's not until later in 2018 that the percentage falls off notable against the previous year. By October 2018, the year-over-year difference in this statistic becomes significant.
A year-over-year comparison between 2017 and 2018 for the percentage of the USA Network households that were watching RAW. The gap starts to widen in July 2017, closes a bit in September 2017, and then widens again.
By the time we get to the build for WrestleMania 35, the difference decreases a bit but then worsens the month of Mania itself.
Another year over year comparison, this time between 2018 and 2019 for the Royal Rumble to WrestleMania period. You can see where the rate of change leveled out some before Mania, but appears to have increased after WrestleMania 35.
The most significant drops came in 2020. The increasing loss of household percentage from March 2020 to July 2020 can be blamed on the empty arena shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the rate of decrease was lessened some after the introduction of the ThunderDome in August 2020, it was still a faster decrease than it was prior to the pandemic.
The closest thing to an increase in this statistic came between October 2019 and January 2020. This is notable because the alleged incident involving the return flight of the WWE roster from Saudi Arabia came on October 31 and November 1 of 2019. While there may have been a delayed reaction to this event, there's no evidence that it directly impacted television ratings.
The rest of the year-over-year comparisons through January 2021. The only period where the drop was minimized consistently was between October 2019 and January 2020, and that included a month (November) with a jump in household percentage.
Further indication that RAW's rating decreases are not due to cord-cutting can be found by comparing the month-to-month turnover of RAW ratings against the size of the USA Network viewership. I did this by finding the percentage of each month's average RAW audience size compared to the audience size of February 2017, and finding the same percentage for the USA Network universe size compared against the value for February 2017. While you can see a slight, fairly steady decrease for the size of the USA Network universe, the rate of change for RAW ratings far outpaces that of the universe size. The green line is a linear trendline for RAW ratings.
This graph compares each month's average RAW ratings and the USA Network universe size of each month as a percentage of those respective values for February 2017.
A decrease in audience numbers is always multi-factorial. There's no doubt that the horrible pandemic of 2020 had an effect on ratings, but it's also clear that the ratings drop of the past few years cannot be solely attributed to that. The loss of stars before or during this period such as John Cena, Batista, Brock Lesnar, and Triple H, and the failure to establish new stars to replace them, is one factor I would clearly point to. Wrestling is a star-driven business, and without a star or stars that fans respond to, the
Another factor would be poorly received creative decisions. While the voting results of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards is only one sign, WWE has won every "Worst Promotion of the Year" award between 2018 and 2020. There is a Wikipedia page entitled "Persona and reception of Roman Reigns" that has nearly 200 citations and is over 5,000 words long – about four times the length of this article. Wrestlers that have left the promotion, including Jon Moxley, Brodie Lee, Paul Wight, Christian Cage, and Andrade Almas, have given interviews after their exits detailing their frustration with the creative process of the company.
WWE also consistently loses RAW audience after WrestleMania, and only comes close to recovering it in the period leading up to the next Mania. There are consistent lesser peaks around the time of SummerSlam each year, excluding the trash fire that was 2020. I would expect this peak to return in 2021 barring a second leg of the pandemic.
Cord-cutting will remain a hot topic whenever television ratings are discussed. It's easy to blame shortcomings on this movement. I do not believe that the drop in ratings for WWE RAW should be predominantly attributed to the reduction in the number of households that have access to USA Network, and instead would suggest that the predominant factors would be tied directly to WWE's creative missteps.

Reporting has undergone a revolution since Donald Barlett and James Steele published their series, "America: What Went Wrong," two decades ago in the Philadelphia Inquirer. New tools and datasets have reconstructed the techniques reporters have always used to investigate stories.
We all know of stories too big for one reporter to tackle; you need an entire team. Lately, we're seeing stories even bigger, produced by two or more teams from different newsrooms. Now, imagine a story so big that virtually every newsroom in the country could play a part, and any audience member could contribute as a source.
I joined two of the Workshop's other student researchers, Samantha Sunne and Hilary Niles, at the annual Investigative Reporters and Editors conference in Boston last weekend, where nearly 1,200 journalists and media professionals dove into computer-assisted reporting, swapped tips on interviewing tough subjects and talked about how to cover topics like racial disparities, crime and the environment. But the core of investigative reporting — holding powerful people accountable for their actions — was the focus of a panel hosted by the Workshop and moderated by our executive editor, Charles Lewis.
It takes a lot of data to build the investigative and multimedia projects we deliver here at the Workshop. So naturally, we want to use the best possible methods to convey what we uncover.
That's why we sent three summer staffers — Lydia Beyoud, Hilary Niles and Samantha Sunne — to a training session we helped coordinate last weekend: an introduction to the open-source programming language Python, through a training program geared specifically toward women.

(Bloomberg) — The Turkish lira rebounded, recouping some of Friday's losses, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that bankers deemed responsible for speculating against the currency would be punished.
The lira rose 1.3 percent to 5.6819 versus the dollar as of 8:39 a.m. in Singapore. The currency plunged more than 5 percent on March 22, its biggest drop since last year's crash.
Turkey started an investigation into JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:). and another probe of unspecified banks that the regulator reproached for stoking the lira's drop.
The rebound in the lira contrasted with a risk-off mood in most Asian currencies that were trading on Monday.
"The Turkish lira's comeback will be limited however as EM in Asia will be under pressure following the price action across markets on Friday," said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at Oanda Corp. in Singapore.


The Club for Growth has nominated Florida Gov. Charlie Crist for its Comrade of the Month Award for May. It's not meant as a compliment.
Speaking of Crist, Dennis Baxley has resigned his position as executive director of the Christian Coalition of Florida in order to work full-time in promoting Marco Rubio, Crist's Republican primary opponent.
"The integrity of our most fundamental institutions is in question and needs to be in question," says Mike Heath, executive director of the Maine Family Policy Council, an evangelical Christian lobbying group.

Something to crow about
Barcelos Rooster
"One of the most famous figurines of Portuguese handicrafts is the well-known rooster (cock) of Barcelos, which has become a national tourism symbol for Portugal.
The 14th century cross, which forms part of the patrimony of the Archaeological Museum of the town of Barcelos, is associated with the curious legend of the cock. According to this legend, the inhabitants were very perturbed by a crime of which it had not been possible to discover the author.
One day, however, there appeared a man from Galicia who was suspected of having committed the crime. He was arrested and, notwithstanding his protests of iinnocence, nobody believed him when he said that he was on his way to São Tiago de Compostela to fulfill a vow; that he was a fervent devotee of that Saint who was venerated on a par with St. Paul and Our Lady in Compostela.
And so he was condemned to be hanged. But before the execution, he asked to be taken to the presence of the judge who had pronounced the sentence. His request was granted, and they took him to the house of the magistrate, who was dining with some friends.
The Galician once again protested his innocence, and, to the amazement of those present, pointed to a roast chicken on the table and exclaimed: "As surely as I am innocent, will that cock crow if I am hanged!" There was an outburst of laughter and comments, but in the end, nobody touched the cock. But what seemed impossible actually happened."
" When the pilgrim was being hanged, the cock stood up on the table and crowed. No one any longer doubted the innocence of the condemned man. The judge rushed to the gallows and, horrified, saw the wretched man with the rope around his neck. But the knot was caught and thus prevented him from being strangled.
He was immediately released and sent on his way in peace. Years later, he returned to Barcelos and built the monument to the Virgin and St. James."

This product is great for early readers. It can be adjusted to fit the needs of individual students. You can change the settings for the length of the sentences as well as if the sentence has to be put together in order or not. It is limited in the fact that it does not have individual accounts so it is best used in a 1 to 1 environment.
I think that this app is good but is also limited. For ELL students it can help with sentence structure and vocabulary development. Students with basic word knowledge can use this app. It has audio to go along so it teaches the words along with the sentence structure. It is limited in it's excitement so engagement has been an issue. This would be a good app for use for a warm up activity for 5 minutes or less. Any longer and I think students would loose engagement.

Pfizer and SHRM CEOs Discuss COVID-19, Value of Culture
A Q&A with Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM president and CEO, and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla
kathleen.gurchiek@shrm.org
By Kathy Gurchiek March 17, 2021
Albert Bourla, Ph.D., chairman and CEO of Pfizer, recently sat down with Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president and chief executive officer of the Society for Human Resource Management, for a wide-ranging question-and-answer session. They discussed the COVID-19 vaccine, the future of remote and hybrid work, the return of business travel and the importance of HR during a pandemic, as well as Pfizer's culture as employees worked feverishly to create a vaccine for COVID-19.
Pfizer was first on the market with the vaccine it co-developed with German biotechnology company BioNTech and which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization after a 44,000-person clinical trial showed it was 95 percent effective at preventing COVID-19.
The vaccine, which is delivered in two doses administered three weeks apart, was approved by the World Health Organization in December for emergency use.
Bourla became CEO of Pfizer in January 2019. He has been with the company for more than 25 years and has held several senior global positions including chief operating officer.
SHRM Online has edited the following Q&A for clarity and brevity. The interview also may be heard here.
Taylor: What is the atmosphere around the Pfizer workplace these days? Did the experience of successfully bringing the vaccine to market so quickly change or enhance your employee culture in any way?
Bourla: Before the pandemic, the recognition from society was not that high. This reputation has changed dramatically. Our employees' pride skyrocketed after we were able to bring the vaccine. Right now, if you say you're working for Pfizer, you're treated almost like a hero. It sparks a passion and a commitment for the company.
The culture needed to be a culture that forced innovation, creativity and equity as core values. I think this is what prepared the company for COVID-19. When the occasion came, we had already embedded a culture to be able to accomplish what we accomplished.
There are four values to our culture, and they all played a critical role in our success:
--Courage. To be decisive, to think big. This mindset is what made us able to make the impossible possible.
--Excellence in Execution. It's not about us, it's about them—the patients hoping we will bring the solution. We must execute perfection. Who would think that a very big company like Pfizer, that is considered to be bureaucratic, would start later in the vaccine race but would finish first because we have this excellence in the way that we execute our work?
--Equity. Everyone deserves to be heard, to be taken care of. This value made our decision very easy when we priced the vaccine—a product we knew everybody would love and would pay gold to get it. We priced it at the cost of a meal; we did this in the high-income countries. In the low-income countries we priced it at cost. This is because equity, in our mind, does not mean we give everything the same to everybody, but we give more to those who need more.
The experience of COVID-19 changed the culture of our company, enhanced it dramatically. This demonstrated to our people that this culture works and will bring us where we hope to be, which is to bring constant breakthroughs that change patients' lives.
--Joy. We define joy not only to have fun but also taking pride and enjoying what you are doing, because what you are doing brings good to humanity and changes other people's lives for the best.
To be able to do this whole project in nine months, thousands of people were working day and night. This is not something that you can demand someone to do. This is something you can inspire someone to do, and the pride they were taking—that we could bring the solution—is what inspired them. This joy was beyond imagination.
Taylor: How did you keep your employees motivated and how did you reward them?
Bourla: The real motivational driver was the importance of their mission. You could promise them five times their bonus, and it would not motivate them as much as news that people were dying every day.
There were people who didn't visit their family because they had to stay here for months, working. There were people working on the vaccine while their spouse had COVID-19.
Also, we had to make sure we adapted very quickly to a remote way of working, and that went surprisingly well and provided everyone much needed flexibility.
Taylor: We know in a manufacturing environment many employees could not work from home. What are the drawbacks of working from home, and what are some of the benefits?
Bourla: There is a significant number of people who had to report to sites every day. These are the manufacturing workers and the people who are in our laboratories. They couldn't work from home. For them, we took special measures to facilitate their presence there. We demanded a very rigorous safety plan within the facilities, and we provided financial incentives—and more importantly, we had a constant flow of information. We kept talking to them about what is happening in the pandemic, how our efforts to develop a solution are moving, the challenges.
People working on the manufacturing side, they had this feeling that "What I am doing here is to produce an injectable product that will save the life of someone in the ICU." They knew that maintaining the operation of this manufacturing site means that people with cancer will receive their medicine, that people with heart disease will not suddenly go without their medicine. As a result, we had less than 2 percent absenteeism in manufacturing. The pride people were taking was enormous.
We awarded them with extra bonuses, but this is not what drove the behavior. They were inspired by the mission of the company.
Taylor: We're hearing employers talk about what their work model will look like going forward. Some plan to bring employees back onto the physical site after having worked remotely during the lockdown, some are considering a hybrid model and others plan to keep an all-remote model. What are your thoughts and what approach will Pfizer take?
Bourla: We debated a lot as to the best option. We will maintain offices. We believe the offices, the headquarters, the building where people are gathering together helps to create a sense of belonging. They are acting as a "super-spreader" of culture, to use a COVID expression. It helps interpersonal relations.
But people don't need to come in every day to get the benefits of an office. Those who need to work with specific equipment that exists only in the workplace—scientists, lab workers, manufacturing workers—will come to the physical site. The rest could have a flexible arrangement where they come to the office two or three days a week.
Also, we need to think about how we conduct meetings. The reason Zoom meetings or WebEx meetings were proven to be so successful and so engaging was because everybody was on Zoom, everybody was on the screen. Before COVID-19, you forgot about those connecting remotely to a meeting with people sitting in a room because the remote workers weren't on a screen, you couldn't see them. They felt isolated.
The benefit of flexibility allows a mother and a father to be able to organize work around errands and attending their children's school without worrying they need to be in the office. And many hours of commuting, for the majority, was lost time and tiring; now that flexibility is making them happier and much more productive.
Taylor: How are you going to continue to maintain Pfizer's strong culture when some employees work remotely and others are at the physical site?
Bourla: I'm not that fearful, particularly in the hybrid model. I believe there is a reluctancy and skepticism around the hybrid model because it's very new. Progress and technology are allowing us to do things very differently, to not be afraid to try things.
Taylor: What is Pfizer's current policy on business travel, such as attending conferences and international meetings? When do you think you're going to have travel again for your colleagues?
Bourla: This experience taught us we don't need to travel as much. Right now, we have excellent collaboration among scientists that are sitting from their homes in different parts of the world. We're not now allowing people to travel unless it's business-critical. I don't expect we'll ever go back to the level of traveling we were doing.
I didn't need the COVID-19 situation to appreciate the importance of the HR profession. It is one of the most critical functions within a corporation.
--Albert Bourla
Taylor: I have heard a number of CEOs say this pandemic has highlighted the importance and criticality of the HR function and HR professionals. Is that true? Tell me about the value of HR at Pfizer.
Bourla: I didn't need the COVID-19 situation to appreciate the importance of the HR profession. It is one of the most critical functions within a corporation, and I always believed that. It is one of the functions I am getting personally involved with more than anything else. Sometimes I'm getting more involved in discussions with my HR heads than with my research heads.
HR was always important but with the flexible work and this new world of opportunities and challenges opening in front of us, HR needs to find and develop employees with new skills and find and develop new processes to optimize what is expected from them, which is to make sure the human capital of a corporation is seriously engaged, inspired, is productive, feels safe, feels joy.

Park Perspectives: Healing Tales
ON HISTORIC land alongside a well-trodden passage between two lakes in the northern forest dwells a storyteller. She has practiced her craft before audiences from school kids to prisoners for many years, sharing tales of her own creating as well as traditional stories from around the world.
There came a time following the illness and death of her husband that she came to see storytelling as a way to help people heal. She discovered and drew inspiration from the account of a woman who decades earlier had come to the wilderness of one of the lakes seeking a cure for tuberculosis. As part of her own exploration, she developed a story of that woman's sojourn in "the healing woods."

And so this storyteller, Fran Yardley of Bartlett Carry, between Middle and Upper Saranac Lakes, was drawn to the Healing Story Group, an offshoot of the National Story Telling Network.
"When I went to their first meeting I thought, 'This is where I belong,'" she remembers. "I could tell what these people were doing was what I wanted."
"I used to think being a storyteller meant I got up on a stage or I got up in front of a lot of kids and told stories. It was entertainment." But she thought stories could be more than that. They had the potential to draw people out. And that meant listening as much as talking.
"We talk about 'listening the best story out of someone' by the kinds of appreciation you can give. It's very satisfying to be able to do that. I think I like it better than telling, sometimes."
She worked with a mentor and participated in workshops and was ready when Adirondack artist Naj Wikoff approached her with an idea. Naj had women friends who were dying of cancer, and he thought that creative arts could help meet a need that chronically ill women felt to share their experience.
"It took me thirty seconds to say yes," Fran says.
That was the beginning of Creative Healing Connections, a nonprofit organization that offers retreats in which women participate in storytelling, songwriting, sculpting, and other creative activities. Guides help the women as they try to express feelings they have trouble voicing elsewhere.
It started in 1999 with an Adirondack Arts and Healing Retreat at Great Camp Sagamore for women with cancer and chronic illness. For the past six years the group has also offered a retreat for women veterans, many of whom struggle with post-traumatic stress or the effects of sexual abuse in the military. This takes place at the Wiawaka Holiday House on Lake George.
Fran leads storytelling workshops and served twelve years as the organization's director. Guiding workshops like this is not like a storytelling performance, she says. She'll break the ice with a story of her own, maybe asking others to add their own thoughts to the tale. Very soon the participants become the storytellers.
"Healing story is as much about the listening as it is about the telling," Fran says. "I first learned this when I started a bereavement group ten or fifteen years ago. I thought, 'I'm going to tell them stories and they'll be great stories, then we'll talk about them.' I went in that first time and I didn't even get the first story out because they were so starving to be able to tell their own stories. What our retreats are all about is to get people to a place where they're willing to open up and tell the stories that they need to tell. They have to feel safe."
Rose Ann Hickey, who has attended ten Arts and Healing retreats, was surprised at first to find herself opening up about her feelings. She credits the willingness of others to risk feeling vulnerable. "I thought, 'If she can say that, it gives me the freedom to say something I'd been carrying,'" she recalls.
The experience can transform some of the women. Judith Coopy, who has attended two of the veterans' retreats, recalls a young woman who "arrived all dark and gloomy. When she left she was dancing." But not everyone responds. Judith also remembers one young woman who remained quiet and withdrawn and left on the first night.
Judith served in the Navy from 1959 through 1964 but felt a connection with the younger veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan in her group. She plans to attend her third retreat this summer.
"I learned that I am not alone," she says. "There are many who have the same or similar experiences. They affected each of us in different ways. Now I am able to maintain that connection to the past by helping others in the present."
She now volunteers with a group in Albany reaching out to women veterans, some of whom are homeless.
"The veterans come and sometimes they say things they haven't dared to say anywhere else," Fran says. "In the first veterans retreat was a young woman, she was thirty-two. She'd been in Iraq and she said, 'The enemy is within the walls.' She was talking about military sexual abuse. It's just completely bottled up inside of them. That's not healthy."
Martha Reben, the TB patient whose story helped lead Fran in this direction, wrote a book called The Healing Woods, published in 1952. Like her, Fran believes that being in Adirondack nature is an important part of getting better.
The Adirondack settings are key elements of the retreats, offering complete separation from daily life. To reach Great Camp Sagamore, participants first make their way to Raquette Lake in the central Adirondacks, then drive four miles down a dirt road to arrive at a gated entrance across a bridge.
"I had a woman tell me, 'Every year when I get out and open the gate and cross the bridge I know I'm leaving the world behind and I'm coming to this amazing spot.'" Fran remembers. "There is a sense of a special haven. The fact that it is in the woods is a huge part of that."
The Women Veterans Reintegration Retreat will be Aug. 4-6 at Wiawaka Holiday House on Lake George.
The Arts and Healing Retreat for Women Living with Cancer or Chronic Illness will be Sept. 12-14 at Great Camp Sagamore.
The Alfred Z. Solomon Retreat for caregivers was held March 29 at Valcour Conference Center in Peru, NY.

First, a thank you to Fran, for her story. Moving my heart to seek more. A gratitude to the Angels who walked by her side as she came to the healing haven. Hoping to meet you. warmly sam


Aminoglycosides like neomycin "irreversibly" bind to specific 30S-subunit proteins and 16S rRNA. Specifically neomycin binds to four nucleotides of 16S rRNA and a single amino acid of protein S12. This interferes with decoding site in the vicinity of nucleotide 1400 in 16S rRNA of 30S subunit. This region interacts with the wobble base in the anticodon of tRNA. This leads to interference with the initiation complex, misreading of mRNA so incorrect amino acids are inserted into the polypeptide leading to nonfunctional or toxic peptides and the breakup of polysomes into nonfunctional monosomes.
Protein binding studies have shown that the degree of aminoglycoside protein binding is low and, depending upon the methods used for testing, may be between 0% and 30%.
Neomycin undergoes negligible biotransformation after parenteral administration.
The small absorbed fraction is rapidly distributed in the tissues and is excreted by the kidney in keeping with the degree of kidney function.
(R)-warfarin The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Neomycin is combined with (R)-warfarin.
(S)-Warfarin The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Neomycin is combined with (S)-Warfarin.
1,10-Phenanthroline The therapeutic efficacy of 1,10-Phenanthroline can be decreased when used in combination with Neomycin.
4-hydroxycoumarin The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Neomycin is combined with 4-hydroxycoumarin.
Abacavir Neomycin may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level.
Acarbose The metabolism of Acarbose can be decreased when combined with Neomycin.
Aceclofenac The risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Aceclofenac is combined with Neomycin.
Acemetacin The risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Acemetacin is combined with Neomycin.
Acenocoumarol The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Neomycin is combined with Acenocoumarol.
Acetaminophen Neomycin may decrease the excretion rate of Acetaminophen which could result in a higher serum level.

Q: XSLT 2.0 paramer list/map with for each This is my xslt file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xpath-default-namespace="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence">

    <xsl:param name="childPath"/>
    <xsl:param name="childNode"/>

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*[local-name()=$childNode]">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="document($childPath)//class"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The idea is that I have one parent (template) xml file and N child xml files. So, I take parent and call this xslt file for the first child xml file, for the second and so on. This xslt file I call using maven-xml-plugin and for every call I need to set transormationSet that is rather verbose.
So, I want to call this xslt file only once and pass all parameters as a list or a map. For example
$childNodes = nodeOne;nodeTwo;nodeThree
$childPaths = pathOne;pathTwo;pathTree

or like map:
$children = nodeOne:pathOne;nodeTwo:pathTwo

Could anyone say how to make my xslt file work with such list/map parameters?

A: Using an XPath 3.1/XSLT 3.0 map, as supported in Saxon 9.8 and later or Saxon-JS 2 or Altova XML 2017 R3 and later you could use
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="3.0"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:map="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map"
  exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
  expand-text="yes">

  <xsl:param name="children" as="map(xs:string, xs:string)" select="map { 'nodeOne' : 'pathOne', 'nodeTwo' : 'pathTwo' }"/>

  <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>

  <xsl:template match="*[local-name()=map:keys($children)]">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="document($children(local-name()))//class"/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

As an alternative to stick with your string values containing semicolon separated lists of values:
  <xsl:param name="childNodes">nodeOne;nodeTwo;nodeThree</xsl:param>

  <xsl:param name="childPaths">pathOne;pathTwo;pathTree</xsl:param>

  <xsl:variable name="childNodesSeq" select="tokenize($childNodes, ';')"/>

  <xsl:variable name="childPathsSeq" select="tokenize($childPaths, ';')"/>

  <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>

  <xsl:template match="*[local-name()=$childNodesSeq]">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="document($childPathsSeq[index-of($childNodesSeq, local-name(current()))])//class"/>
  </xsl:template>

A: One way is to introduce a template mode and iterate over the name / path pairs
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xpath-default-namespace="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence">

    <xsl:param name="children" select="'name1:path1;name2:path2'"/>

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:variable name="here" select="."/>
        <xsl:for-each select="tokenize($children,';')">
            <xsl:apply-templates mode="child" select="$here">
                <xsl:with-param name="name" tunnel="true" select="tokenize(.,':')[1]"/>
                <xsl:with-param name="path" tunnel="true" select="tokenize(.,':')[2]"/>
            </xsl:apply-templates>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*" mode="child">
        <xsl:param name="name" tunnel="true"/>
        <xsl:param name="path" tunnel="true"/>

        <xsl:if test="local-name()=$name">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="document($path)//class"/>
        </xsl:if>

        <xsl:apply-templates mode="child"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

We then trekked over on the tube to the V&A to see the Ballgowns exhibition. We had a little wander around the recently renovated Fashion area and then planned to go and buy tickets for the actual exhibition. However when we got there, there was a sign saying all the tickets for that day had been sold. This has never happened to us before so that was a major pain. I think London is just going to get busier and busier over the summer with all the Olympics crowds, so we're going to go back and see that one in the autumn when its quietened down. Luckily that one is on till January. I sound like an advert for exhibitions at the moment haha.
After that failure we went for a little wander down Bond Street and I got myself an expensive little treat which I will share a few pictures of this week. We also walked down the Burlington Arcade which was beautiful, and at the end we noticed the Laduree shop. I've seen their famous macarons (or macaroons, I'm not sure which is the correct spelling :S) all over blogs and the internet but never actually had one, so me and my mum indulged in some of those.


There's something to be said for feeling a spark with someone face to face instead of through a screen. But breaking the ice isn't always easy.
Enter Social Concierge, a new dating club for 20- and 30-somethings that employs "crowd mixologists" to help singles make connections.
At the group's monthly dating events in NYC and London, these professional wingpeople work the room, make introductions and set the stage for flirty conversations by raising fun topics of mutual interest.
Nana Wereko-Brobby, the club's founder, says Social Concierge is geared for people who have grown weary of swiping left and right. "You get to tap into that excitement of meeting someone in person," she says.
Social Concierge charges $25 a month for that thrill. But even if you're not a member, you can channel the wisdom of her mix-and-mingle specialists to chat people up at parties and other group events. Here's how to get the conversation going.
Instead of cringing through awkward introductory chatter, consider wearing clothing and accessories that have interesting origin tales behind them.
"If you're wearing a brooch you bought when you were traveling in Peru or a tie that was given to you by a boss whom you were kind of attracted to, you instantly have an anecdote to share," Wereko-Brobby says.
Muster your courage and make a play for the person in the room you find most attractive — your chances might be better than you realize.
Few qualities unite people like a shared sense of humor. That's why Wereko-Brobby tells singles to generate an "inside joke" with any promising matches.
For example, if you're stuck at a bar with slow service or a patron nearby is busting out ridiculously bad dance moves, catch the eye of the person you're interested in and silently commiserate with a raised brow or sly smirk. "It shows that you don't take things too seriously — and that you have a common view of this situation that you've both found yourself in," Wereko-Brobby says. It also creates a chill pretext for striking up a conversation ("So how long have you been waiting for a round?").
Muster your courage and make a play for the person in the room you find most attractive — your chances might be better than you realize. Wereko-Brobby says hot people are often so intimidating that few people even make an attempt.
An alternate way to bond with a dashing stranger is to enlist the person's services.
"One of the things I do is go up to a guy and ask him, 'Can you be my wingman for a little while?' " Wereko-Brobby says.
This subtle form of subterfuge takes the pressure off the encounter.
"It may sound counterintuitive, but you can really get to know a person this way. You're making the situation lighthearted, and you end up bonding over it," she says.
Once the game has gone on for a while — and the chemistry with your pseudo-helper is apparent — turn the tables and express your interest ("Maybe I should just stick with you!").
"Keep it playful," Wereko-Brobby says.
Social Concierge's next New York event will be held on Sept. 29. For location and other details, apply for membership at SocialConcierge.co.uk.


Oh my goodness. In the grand scheme of twitter, 700+ retweets isn't that many. In the grand scheme of my twitter…that's pretty bloomin' viral.
I have never written a post with a trigger warning before. I don't even know if that's how you trigger warning a post (please tell me if it's not, I'm still learning!) but I just felt like I had to…say something.
Old or young, famous or not – how many suicides is it going to take for mental health to be taken seriously and be treated without stigma?
The obvious answer is that it's already taken too many, and there's so much I could add to the conversation – and want to add to the conversation…but I want to take my time to construct that post. It's a very difficult subject, and one that I don't want to approach recklessly.
So, for now I'll leave a video that someone sent me in response to that tweet, and a few numbers that might be helpful to someone should they stumble upon this post. I really, really hope it does. As Faye said, it's time to talk.

Goodman brings 'La Havana Madrid' to theatre district following sellouts at Steppenwolf and Miracle Center
(Chicago, IL) On the heels of critically-acclaimed sold-out runs at Steppenwolf Theatre Company and The Miracle Center in Logan Square, Teatro Vista's La Havana Madrid by Sandra Delgado extends its run at Goodman Theatre this summer, July 21 – August 20. Chicago's fabled 1960s nightclub, La Havana Madrid, comes bursting back to life in "an immersive, wholly enjoyable experience" (Chicago Reader) complete with live music and "enough dancing and bonhomie to tempt you away from your little table down front" (Chicago Tribune). Directed by Teatro Vista ensemble member Cheryl Lynn Bruce, the production was inspired by true stories of Cuban, Puerto Rican and Colombian immigrants who found refuge in the nightclub. Delgado leads the eight-member cast (a full list appears below) as a mystical woman who conjures stories and vibrant songs performed live onstage each night by Colombian-American musician Roberto "Carpacho" Marin and his band of 30 years, Carpacho y Su Super Combo.
La Havana Madrid appears July 21 – August 20 in the Owen Theatre (Opening Night is Wednesday, July 26 at 7:30pm). Tickets ($30-$50; subject to change) go on sale Wednesday, June 28; visit GoodmanTheatre.org/LaHavanaMadrid or call the box office at (312) 443-3800. La Havana Madrid is recommended for ages 12 and up.
"My journey with La Havana Madrid is a dream come true. It has been an absolute joy and honor to share this story with my fellow Chicagoans and I am incredibly grateful that we get to keep the love alive this summer," said playwright and co-star Sandra Delgado. "It is especially sweet to come home to Goodman Theatre, where I wrote La Havana Madrid as part of the Playwright's Unit in the 2015/2016 Season. I cannot wait to invite audiences into the Owen Theatre, which will be transformed into the La Havana Madrid nightclub, night after night."
In addition to Delgado, the eight-member cast also includes Teatro Vista ensemble members Tommy Rivera-Vega and Marvin Quijada; and newcomers Mike Oquendo, Donovan Diaz and Krystal Ortiz, who round out the cast as Cuban, Colombian and Puerto Rican patrons, staff and musicians who all met, danced, loved and lost at La Havana Madrid. Original cast members Cruz Gonzalez-Cadel and Phoebe González are unable to continue with the production and their roles are being recast for the Goodman remount. The design team includes Ashley Woods (set), Elsa Hiltner (costumes), Heather Sparling (lights), Mikhail Fiksel (sound), Liviu Pasare (projections and video design) and William Carlos Angulo (choreography).
A Brief History about La Havana Madrid Nightclub (Originally Located on Belmont and Sheffield)
In the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, Latinos from Caribbean countries such as Puerto Rico and Cuba settled all along Chicago's lakefront, from North Avenue to Devon. Although from different countries, music brought them together. Their shared rhythms—African rhythms—became the guaguanco, the mambo and the merengue. Now in the United States, these rhythms merged with traditional big band sounds and eventually became salsa. On the North side of Chicago, a handful of Latino music clubs opened up: Coco Loco on Lincoln Avenue, The Mirror Lounge on North Avenue and La Havana Madrid on Belmont and Sheffield. Luis "Witto" Aloma, a Cuban-born player for the Chicago White Sox, opened the club in the early 1960s to create a place for his Cuban friends to drink coffee and play cards and dominoes. Along the way, La Havana Madrid grew into a more lavish supper club with live Cuban musical acts, before it changed hands and Puerto Rican TV and radio host took over the club. La Havana Madrid closed in the late 1960s and later became the popular folk club The Quiet Knight. Today, the same second floor space is occupied by Milio's Hair Studio.

Franked Investment Income
What Is Franked Investment Income?
Franked investment income (FII) is income that is received as a tax-free distribution by one company from another. This income is typically tax-free to the receiving firm and is usually distributed in the form of a dividend. Franked investment income was introduced in the interest of avoiding double taxation of corporate income.
From the perspective of the company that makes the distribution, the FII is referred to as franked payment, and the term is most commonly used in Australia and New Zealand.
Franked investment income (FII) allows companies to receive tax-free distributions on certain income to avoid double taxation.
A franked dividend is paid with a tax credit attached that reduces a dividend-receiving investor's tax burden.
Double taxation is a principle that avoids income taxes paid twice on the same source of income.
Understanding Franked Investment Income
Double taxation of dividends occurs when both a company and a shareholder pay tax on the same income. The company pays taxes on profits and subsequently distributes a dividend out of its after-tax profits. Shareholders must then pay tax on the dividend received. Taxpayers in countries (mostly Oceanic or European countries) with franked investment income will typically claim the appropriate credit when filing their taxes through dividend imputation.
Franked investment income is income distributed as dividends to a company from earnings on which corporation tax has already been paid by the distributing company. If ABC company pays franked investment income to XYZ company, XYZ company does not have to pay tax on the income. This is because the tax was assessed on ABC company before the income was paid. In essence, the tax paid on this income is also attributed to the receiving firm. Once the issuing company has paid corporate tax on the income being distributed, the tax payment is attributed also to the companies who receive the franked dividend.
Through the use of tax credits called "imputed tax credits," the tax authorities are notified that a company has already paid the required income tax on the income it distributes as dividends. The shareholder or receiving entity then does not have to pay tax or pays a reduced tax on the franked dividend income. In New Zealand, for example, full imputation means providing 28 cents of imputation credits for every 72 cents of franked investment income that is received by the shareholder. At this ratio, all resident shareholders who pay income tax at the rate of 28% or less will not have to pay any further income tax. On the other hand, shareholders who pay the highest tax rate of 33% will be required to pay a further 5 cents for each $1.00 of gross income, leaving them with a net 67 cents of cash.
The dividend recipient grosses up the dividends by adding the imputed tax credits on the FII to the amount of dividend received. The investment tax is applied to this sum to determine the gross tax liability. Finally, the imputed credit is subtracted from the tax liability to derive the actual tax payable.
Types of Franked Dividends
There are two different types of franked dividends: fully franked and partially franked. When a stock's shares are fully franked, the company pays tax on the entire dividend. Investors receive 100% of the tax paid on the dividend as franking credits. In contrast, shares that are not fully franked may result in tax payments for investors.
Businesses sometimes claim tax deductions, perhaps due to losses from preceding years. That allows them to avoid paying the entire tax rate on their profits in a given year. When this happens, the business does not pay enough tax to legally attach a full tax credit to the dividends paid to shareholders. As a result, a tax credit is attached to part of the dividend, making that portion franked. The rest of the dividend remains untaxed, or unfranked. This dividend is then said to be partially franked. The investor is responsible for paying the remaining tax balance.

Lightroom CC: Adobe Portfolio sharing says 0 images in each album?
The new sharing tab is great but all my albums say there are 0 photos in all of them, yet the photos are there when I select an album. I'm also not able to resend the album to my web portfolio because Lightroom thinks they are empty.
Hey Nicolai, this is an issue we have logged a bug against and will be fixed in an upcoming release. Thanks for reporting.
It wouldn't hurt if you could give us a step by step set of instructions for creating an Album in your Portfolio connector that has zero images in the count but has image in the grid. We do have a way to duplicate your scenario but I want to make sure we are duplicating the workflow you are using and that you aren't getting into this state in a different manner.
Can you go to Help>System Info... and verify you are using Lightroom CC 2.1.1?

Yucca Mountain, the Nevada-based, scientifically flawed and politically unjust proposed high-level radioactive waste repository has now been canceled. However, pro-nuclear forces in Congress have not abandoned Yucca and funding is still allocated to the project.
As posted at NRDC's website.
Letter from 61 organizations [including Beyond Nuclear] opposing attempts to push the contentious licensing of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in year-end legislation. While we acknowledge that the national failure to deliver a final resting place for highly toxic, radioactive nuclear waste that will be dangerous for millennia is of profound concern, we urge Congress not take this deeply unwise course of action for the reasons laid out in the letter.

Yucca Mountain and Consolidated Storage Part of the Federal Shutdown Funding "Game"
House Energy-Water Appropriations Chairman Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) said last week that discussions continued with the Senate to send some funds to Yucca Mountain, the stalled nuclear waste repository in Nevada.
Mountain in fiscal 2019. "They want money for Yucca, but I think that's a problem," she told E&E News.
The prospect of Yucca funding in the spending bill has caught the attention of Nevada's Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Sen.-elect Jacky Rosen.

Phantom Thread at times takes on the ominous tone of a Hitchcock film, but it veers away from such suspenseful dramatics, he says.
NEW YORK: The day after last November's presidential election, Paul Thomas Anderson boarded a plane to London to go make a movie about love.
"Phantom Thread," which began shooting days after the inauguration, is a hushed chamber drama made amid a time of wall-to-wall cacophony. For his second — and as it has turned out, likely final — collaboration with Daniel Day-Lewis, the protean 47-year-old Californian filmmaker endeavored to make his British gothic romance — his "Rebecca."
"We have a really old-fashioned kind of film. It has nothing to do with the current state of the world. Maybe that's good, in a way," Anderson said in a recent interview in SoHo. "The more the world continues to turn upside down, the more appreciative we can be of all these small things every day that we have with each other."
It's a nice sentiment that Anderson is immediately suspicious of.
"It's a good time for pitchforks, too," he adds. "And I know just where to aim them."
But "Phantom Thread" needs nothing sharper than a seamstress' needle to pierce and prod. The film is set in the meticulous world of a 1950s couturier. Reynolds Woodcock (Day-Lewis) is a women's clothing designer of precise routine and enchanting craft. On a country trip from his London town house he meets a waitress at a seaside hotel, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who become his model and muse.
Romance invades his rigidly guarded creative sphere and "Phantom Thread" becomes a spellbinding, and often funny, collision of art and love, stubborn isolation and won't-take-no-for-an-answer intimacy. Alma, in the end, is a disruption just as eye-opening as the frogs that fell from the sky in Anderson's "Magnolia."
"Are we disciplined enough to build in a proper pause to our life? Or are we so consumed with running around that it's only acts of God or large outside forces that propel us to stop, take stock of how lucky we are?" says Anderson. "And without it, most of us will continue to be rushing around like lunatics, not looking at what's right in front of us."
"Phantom Thread" at times takes on the ominous tone of a Hitchcock film, but it veers away from such suspenseful dramatics — "more told as — oh, I don't know — as a peculiar romance movie," says Anderson. "A kind of movie-movie way to look at what a relationship is really like."
"I wish there was a moment in 'Rebecca' about 45 minutes in where she was like, 'Right. Enough of your s---. I've had it with your nastiness,'" he says, laughing.
The movie, which Focus Features will release Monday, is yet another sharp swing in direction for Anderson, whose last three films ("There Will Be Blood," ''The Master," ''Inherent Vice") were all period California dramas that dove headlong into America's past: greed and fury in the turn-of-the-century oil boom; the existential drift of post-World War II America; the fading counterculture of Thomas Pynchon's 1970s Los Angeles.
While Day-Lewis's Daniel Plainview of "There Will Be Blood" was a volcanic force of nature, his Reynolds Woodcock is a more refined figure of fervor. Perhaps not so dissimilar from Day-Lewis, he's consumed by his much-celebrated work. But the demands of concentration required for his process are considerable. Some memorable scenes were partly improvised by the intensely Method-acting Day-Lewis, like one where Woodcock chastises Alma for bringing him tea at the wrong time. As she departs after a tongue-lashing, Woodcock fumes: "Yes, you can take the tea out but the interruption is staying right here with me."
"I thought, boy oh boy, is that a great one," says Anderson, grinning "Only someone with access to that feeling could come up with that one."
Krieps, a 34-year-old newcomer from Luxembourg, didn't meet Day-Lewis until the first day of shooting at a London church. She vividly remembers the echoing sound of his approaching steps.
"Of course I was nervous," says Krieps. "When I knew I was going to be his partner, I decided to forget whatever I knew. Not Google him, not watch his movies, not know anything about Method acting. I don't know if it was right but it worked for not having a panic attack during the shooting. I tried to empty myself of all of expectations and hopes and fears. I tried to make Alma like a blank sheet."
Day-Lewis has said the film will be his last. The actor told W magazine of the decision: "Before making the film, I didn't know I was going to stop acting. I do know that Paul and I laughed a lot before we made the movie. And then we stopped laughing because we were both overwhelmed by a sense of sadness."
Anderson says his only sadness was the usual one that accompanies a years-long project winding down. But there were notable interruptions to the film's own single-minded bubble, and not only political distractions. On the final day of shooting, the filmmaker Jonathan Demme — a lifelong inspiration and friend to Anderson — died. "Phantom Thread" is dedicated to him.
"It was a crazy combination of melancholy," says Anderson of the final day. "His voice was rattling around in my head. 'Buddy! You finished your film!'"
The initial germ for "Phantom Thread" came when Anderson noticed the tender way his partner, the actress Maya Rudolph (they have four children together), looked at him while he was sick. Illness plays such a central role in the film that Rudolph first responded to the film by asking Anderson: "So you want me to poison you?"
But Anderson, disarmingly genial for a genius filmmaker, shares little of Woodcock's ways. While there's seldom an imperfectly composed shot in his movies, Anderson's way of filmmaking is exploratory and curious.
"He gives you everything," says Lesley Manville, who co-stars as Woodcock's ever-present sister and partner. "You've got this amazing house to shoot in. You've got these extraordinary clothes. Great hairdresser, great makeup. Everything's right. And then he lets you put your color on this great canvas."
Among movie directors, Anderson estimates he's "pretty low on the OCD scale."
"My obsessions are very different than (Woodcock's)," says Anderson. "I'm not too strict with my rules. I'm moody as hell for sure. He thrives in silence. I thrive more with noise. I come from a very large family and I have a very large family. I kind of live much more in a pigpen than the world he creates."
"Phantom Thread" is, in a way, a mission statement for Anderson that suggests it's possible — even necessary — to make art while not being a complete jerk. Now, he's starting to, with eyes wide open, look for his next obsession.
"The fun part of this job is finishing one and you feel open to limitless possibilities," says Anderson. "Whatever your imagination can come up with."


Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the nation, and it costs New York taxpayers more than $10 billion annually in healthcare costs. Despite previous successes such as New York's Clean Indoor Air Act, and the continued decline in youth smoking rates, it is clear that more needs to be done to prevent youth from picking up their first cigarette. Retail stores are the main channel of communication for the tobacco industry and 75% of teens shop in convenience stores at least once per week. The US Surgeon General concludes that "promotion and advertising by the tobacco industry causes tobacco use, including its initiation among youth.
Why should I care about tobacco marketing in stores?
Most adult smokers have become addicted before they graduate from high school: 90% of them start before the age of 18. According to the US Surgeon General, "tobacco marketing at the point of sale is associated with the use of tobacco by youth. Because point-of-sale marketing is an important channel for the tobacco companies, with very few restrictions, consumers, including children, are unavoidably exposed to pro smoking messages when they shop or when they are simply passing by stores.
Here in New York State, tobacco companies spend more than a half a million dollars every day to place promotions in stores where kids can see them. And the more they see, the more likely they are to start smoking. Our kids have seen enough. It's time to take action and get tobacco out of sight in stores.
Thank you for taking action. For additional information on reducing store marketing and to find other Tobacco Free NYS resources, please click here.
