The anti-vax movement is making waves globally: U.K. loses "measles-free" status

The UK has lost its World Health Organization "measles-free" status.
Measles has spread in America and over 10 countries in Europe, including the UK.
Anti vaccination factions, disinformation and negligence all contribute to the spread of curable infectious diseases.
An outbreak in the number of measles cases in the UK has resulted in the country losing its World Health Organization dedicated "measles-free" status. The culprits responsible for this decline: anti-vaxxer disinformation and low vaccination turnout.
Three years after the UK had originally eliminated measles, (WHO) has just confirmed 231 cases of the disease from the first quarter of 2019. In 2016, the country managed to stop the disease in its tracks with a 95 percent coverage vaccination cover rate which led to herd immunity.
A blog post by the UK government details the organization's reasoning for reneging their measles-free status. There was a total of 991 confirmed cases in England and Wales during 2018. Additionally, there was a continual detection of the same measles virus (B3 Dublin) for 12 consecutive months. From this information, they've determined that the transmission of measles has been reestablished.
We're seeing an uptick in measles cases because not enough people are being vaccinated both at home and abroad. Until measles is eliminated globally, we can continually expect outbreaks to appear in previously safe countries.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called on health leaders to address the issue. Current statistics show that current second round vaccinations for children in the UK is at only 87.2 percent. Mary Ramsay, of the government agency Public Health England, states, "Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is always at risk."
World governments need enact better vaccination policies or else this harrowing trend will only continue.
How to turn the tide against future outbreaks
Measles is an old disease we learned how to take care of long ago. It's also one of the most infectious diseases that we know about. Ignorance and blatant disinformation campaigns are not acceptable.
UK officials are already working on putting up information on the NHS website to address misleading information about vaccines. The government is also urging social media firms to block anti-vaccine messages. Jo Churchill, junior health minister recently told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that they need the assistance of social media companies in order to ensure that "...misinformation is taken down, and that we give people the correct information that they can help keep their children safe."
Measles has already spread to ten different European countries.
On top of people deliberately avoiding vaccination for their children, some people aren't following up on their shots because they believe that measles no longer poses any risk. In situations when a disease like measles is eradicated, people start to believe the disease isn't around anymore.
Boris Johnson reiterated the importance of getting parents to vaccinate their kids.
"From reassuring parents about the safety of vaccines, to making sure people are attending follow-up appointments, we can and must do more to halt the spread of infectious, treatable diseases in modern-day Britain."
Disturbing international anti-vaxxer trends
Americans have already suffered a record high measles outbreak in 2019.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recently published a report showing that there were 1,172 cases so far with 124 hospitalizations and 64 reported serious health complications.
"The majority of cases are among people who were not vaccinated against measles. More than 75 percent of the cases this year are linked to outbreaks in New York and New York City. Measles is more likely to spread and cause outbreaks in U.S. communities where groups of people are unvaccinated," the CDC wrote.
Different shades of the anti-vax movement is behind the resurgence of measles. Andrew Wakefielld's infamous and false 1998 study originally lumped together the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) with autism. It was widely spread and became the impetus for the movement. A small minority of credulous simpletons still believe vaccinations cause autism.
Other faction's have diverged and have come up with other reasons for opposing vaccination. These reasons include a mistrust of science and government agencies, belief in conspiracy theories and alternative disease treatment.
Researchers have found that the best way to counter this misinformation is relatively straightforward: by introducing anti-vaxxers to people who've suffered from vaccine-preventable diseases. It seems like some up close and personal experience is enough to tighten those loose screws in the mind of an anti-vaxxer.
The emergence of a treatable disease is a disconcerting trend. It's not something to be taken lightly or be on the fence about. What's happening in the UK is a warning sign that we need to shift our policies to completely eradicate a once vanquished threat.
This is why we have to do better with immunizations - Big Think ›

She got singed to Bloc Talent Agency and booked her first job at the age of 13, when she was selected as a background dancer to contestant Diamond White on 'The X Factor'. In 2013, she and her sister switched to Club Dance Studio in Phoenix, Arizona, where she started training and her sister joined as a choreographer.
Addison Moffett appeared as a dancer in a Sunday Special episode of 'America's Got Talent' in 2014. However, Alexa reportedly had a fallout with the owner of club, Kelli Wilkins, at the end of the competition season in 2015, following which the two sisters left the club. After Molly Long, a friend of Alexa, opened her own studio called 'Project 21' in the next year, Alexa became the contemporary and lyrical choreographer there, while Addison trained there during her senior year and also competed with their teen competition team.

However, all the videos of the channel were suddenly deleted in May 2016 without any explanation, and the channel was subsequently renamed to 'AddyKaylee'. On May 8, Kalani tweeted her "side of the story" by mentioning that she never granted Addison permission to use the channel as her own. A fan later revealed a comment from Kalani's mother Kira Girard which mentioned that due to her increasingly busy schedule, Kalani was unable to spare time for the channel. They reportedly agreed to "dissolve" the channel, but Addison decided to keep the channel for herself. Addison deleted the channel a few weeks later and currently runs a separate channel that she had created back in March 2015. She usually posts vlogs on the channel.

CISB Head of School: Commitment to Excellence
Leave a comment 4016 views
During the interview with Douglas K. Prescott, Head of School of Canadian International School of Beijing (CISB), I was deeply impressed with his passion for education and his love of the school.
"Education today is more exciting in many ways than 40 years ago. This keeps me energized and passionate, and makes me want to see what it is that we can collectively do as a school that empowers our students to be the very best they can, so that they not only can, but will, be the leaders of tomorrow's world," says Prescott.
Coming from the province of New Brunswick, Canada, Prescott joined CISB seven years ago as the Head of School. What he has brought to CISB is his abundant knowledge and experience in teaching and administration at various schools, and his vision and plans for the school's development.
In his 40 years in education, Prescott has taken various teaching and administration positions. As a teacher, he taught different subjects such as Physical Education, History and Biology, and was extensively involved in sports coaching, including basketball, soccer, volleyball and baseball. As a school administrator, he has fulfilled the roles of vice principal, principal and founding principal in a number of schools in Canada and other countries. He also has a great depth of understanding as it relates to both the Canadian and International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculums, with professional certification in IB PYP (Primary Years Program), IB MYP (Middle Years Program) and IBDP (Diploma Program). He is always committed to blending the strength of Canadian education and values into the school's system.
Opened in September 2006 in the Third Embassy Quarter of downtown Beijing, Canadian International School of Beijing has grown into a full IB World School. Accredited by the New Brunswick Department of Education in Canada, CISB offers its students an internationally recognized Canadian curriculum – the New Brunswick curriculum – that is an outcomes-based system that ensures all students attain the required knowledge and skills before graduation. Additionally, CISB is offering abundant extracurricular programs that boast of over 60 types of activities, ranging from Chinese calligraphy and martial arts to music, ice hockey and football. All these programs support students to develop to their full potential and become well prepared for their further education and future life.
With over 1,000 students, CISB boasts a truly international and diverse school community, representing more than 55 nationalities. It is within this multilingual environment that CISB students receive quality learning while taking the rigorous Canadian and International Baccalaureate curriculums. Every year, CISB High School graduates are accepted to well-reputed colleges and universities ranked within the top 100 in the world, often obtaining scholarships.
Proud of what CISB has accomplished throughout these years, Prescott attributes all the achievements to collective efforts made by the whole school community – teachers, students, families and administrators.
"We are already a very good school, and we are well above the international average, but we cannot be satisfied with the status quo. We don't want our staff to be comfortable and we don't want our students to be too comfortable," he says. He believes CISB is still a young school, and there is still a lot to do to improve the teaching and learning for CISB students. He hopes the whole staff team will do whatever is necessary to help the students do better in their studies. "Excellence is not something that you get by snapping your fingers. Excellence is a journey. I want us to be on a continuing journey towards greater success."
One good measure is that CISB has launched the Canadian Academic Academy Program for the new school year, which offers two-hour after-school courses available each night for students who want to enrich their Math, English, Chinese Literature, or other subjects, as well as for those students to be challenged at the highest possible levels. This after-school academy is currently open to students from Grade 3 to Grade 12. It is hoped that instead of going to private tutors or attending external after-school courses, students who want more to study can continue to stay on campus.
In addition, new developments in recent years include a Parent Advisory Committee that works to reinforce the partnership between parents and school teachers and staff; a Maker Space Lab set up for students to have more opportunities to be creative and innovative, and newly renovated swimming pool and gym.
"In every department in our school, be it academic, human resources, admissions, or staff in the cafeteria, everyone is trying to be the best they can, so as to ultimately prepare our students to be the very best global citizens they can be, with not only strong academic skills, but strong people skills as well, and people that have values and empathy, and know what it means to be good stewards of the environment," says Prescott. "Part of my responsibility is to try to inspire and encourage our students to come with that excitement, that curiosity, that desire to be better when they leave school each day than when they arrived that morning."
What he often encourages the students to do is to try out new things and to challenge themselves, as the students need to learn how to fail and move forward. "Don't keep doing the same over and over again, and getting the same results. If you make a mistake or you come up short, the most important thing is that you get back up," Prescott says. That means the students need to have resilience, grit and mental toughness, and then they are able to recover when things don't go their way. Meanwhile, it is the school's responsibility to make sure that the students are provided with necessary support, enhancement and enrichment in order to overcome failures. "Because there is nothing that feels better than when you accomplish something and say 'Yes, I now understand!'" The students also should know that learning is not learning unless they can apply it to real use. If they cannot do something with the knowledge they learn, then it has no value.
He points out that learning takes many different forms, not just about literacy or science, PE or fine arts. Learning has evolved dramatically since he started his career, thanks to advancement in technology and globalization. Educators have to stay current, because their students have convenient access to various kinds of knowledge.
"Learning happens everywhere. As an individual, your mind is open to endless possibilities…It is this well-roundedness that is developed as the students grow and mature, and they can fine-tune those areas where they want to pursue their career."
He is also excited to see that students today are much more socially responsible than before, that "they have a much greater understanding and care for their world and are passionate about helping those less fortunate and thinking beyond themselves."
Being an educator, Prescott feels it is most rewarding when seeing students excited and wanting to learn. It always feels great for him to listen to students describing the learning process in their own languages, as well as older students talking about their future and who they want to become, where they want to go and what they wish to accomplish.

Rocky Mountain National Park draws 4.4 million visitors in year 2 of reservation system

Rocky Mountain National Park was the fifth-most visited national park, drawing more than 4.4 million visitors last year despite a second year of restricting visitation through its timed-entry reservation permit system.
The top five most-visited national parks were Great Smoky Mountains with 14.1 million visitors, Zion with 5 million, Yellowstone with 4.9 million, Grand Canyon with 4.5 million and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Rocky Mountain National Park's visitation numbers last year were the fifth highest in park history and 1.1 million more than in 2020, when the park was intermittently closed due to the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome wildfires as well as the pandemic. Also that year, visitation was restricted during the first year of the reservation system.
Last year, the reservation system allowed about 80% capacity based on available parking spots. In 2020, it allowed 60% capacity.
From the archives:Not everyone is on board with timed entry to Rocky Mountain National Park
The national park announced that this year, timed-entry reservations will be based on about 90% of parking capacity. The reservation system will run May 27 to Oct. 10 and be similar to the one used in 2021.
Reservations will go on sale through www.recreation.gov starting at 10 a.m. MDT May 2 for May 27 through June 30.
The reservation system is a pilot program the park is using to gather information as part of its Long Range Visitor Use plan. The park hosted several meetings, including two pre-National Environmental Policy Act virtual meetings, last year to gather public input on the plan.
To learn more about the pre-NEPA long-range day use visitor access strategy, visit the park's day use visitor access strategy webpage and click on the "document list" tab on the left.
The park has for the past six years implemented strategies to manage crowding and congestion, including the use of shuttle buses and closing entry to popular areas when parking lots filled.

For the past two years, Cooper University Health Care has used Access eForms solutions in its Registration department. And, since ditching paper for digital forms, the provider has seen some impressive results. Cooper now captures more than 20,000 patient electronic signatures each week, and has eliminated more than 4.5 million pieces of paper.
It's a win-win-win because the simple act of having patients sign a digital document at Registration – instead of a hospital paper form – is saving time, money and trees.
But that's just the start of the benefits.
Cooper CIO and senior vice president, Jayashree Raman, is one of Becker's 105 Hospital and Health System CIOs to Know. Cooper relies on Epic's electronic medical record, and Raman said the ability of Access solutions to seamlessly integrate into that EMR has enhanced patient experience.
Once a patient's Registration forms are digitally completed and signed, they're automatically integrated into the Epic EMR. Clinicians, billing staff and other authorized hospital personnel can access the signed electronic forms right away.
Once it was clear the positive impact Access eForms solutions had in Cooper's Registration department, Raman and her team started looking for other areas of the hospital to install the technology. They zeroed in on Informed Consents in the Oncology and Surgical Services departments.
The provider wanted to make the Informed Consents digital, fillable and signable. The goal was to minimize human error by having required fields and dynamic required fields. The hospital also wanted the Informed Consent to be available as a mobile form on a tablet, in order to provide a better patient experience. Plus, Raman said she wanted a solution that provided clinicians with as much of an Epic-centric experience as possible.
Access checked all the boxes for Cooper. The provider is now expanding its use of Access eForms to the Oncology and Surgical Services departments.
Access is proud to have Cooper as a customer, and to play a part in helping them advance their paperless journey!


The Fat Jimmy Vintage Series 5E3 is our meticulous recreation of the famous 5E3 'Tweed Deluxe' circuit. This circuit was featured in the 1 x 12" tweed 'Deluxe' amplifier combos manufactured by the 'Fender Electric Instrument Company' from 1957 – 1959, and is universally acknowledged as one of the most iconic guitar amplifiers of all time. True both on stage and in the studio. Incredible chime with beautiful rich clean tones at lower volumes, and what might be considered the definitive rock & roll overdrive when turned up. Crank it all the way for godlike tone and sustain…. The 5E3 circuit is Neil Young's main amp! Also used by 'The Edge' from U2 and countless others… this should give you a good idea of just how versatile this circuit is.
The volume and tone controls in this circuit are wired in a very unique way that makes all controls extremely interactive, even the volume controls of the different channels affect each other! We've also done just a little tweaking… we've tightened up the bottom end just enough to eliminate the low end 'flub' common in the original circuit. We've also added a standby switch.
With the original 4 input setup players also can 'jumper' the two channels for even heavier overdrive and thicker distortion at lower volumes… You can also change the rectifier tube to a 5AR4 to give you some more power and headroom.
Our 'front panel' version gives the player easy access to the controls. This is much more convenient than the rear/top controls of the originals and most other 'clones' on the market. Our pine cab is the same size as a Princeton Reverb!

When the Wallington branch of Andrews Property Group recently contacted Rowena Boyton it wasn't to value her home or facilitate a viewing on another property. Instead, they had heard about her son Zack and his love of estate agents.
Zack has autism and enjoys collecting signs and boards – amongst them, those used to market properties for sale and rent. So, when the team at the local Andrews branch heard they were keen to provide with him with not only a board, but also a goody bag of other branded items including balloons, pens and pencils.

Lots of good reviews (4 out of 5 stars) over at samsclub.com
Nice little review over at lcdtvbuyingguide.com
ohsnaparoomba May 11, 2013, 12:23am #6
Actually, the reviewer admits in the comments thread that the entire review is based on first impressions from a trade show. it's not an actual review and is kind of misleading. Just sayin'!

I bought this TV at Sam's last year for $599. It's a really nice TV. Great picture, easy internet access. I have not had any problems with it at all.
JLoose May 11, 2013, 12:57am #8
Do not buy TVs from woot. They are refurbed and packaged poorly. The LG TV I bought 6 months ago showed up in a banged up brown box and is now a giant paperweight. Buy new. And not from Woot.
marklikestv May 11, 2013, 1:00am #9
Has anyone else had a poor experience with TVs from Woot? I was really contemplating buying this one but J's comment has me reconsidering.
gkferguson May 11, 2013, 1:16am #10
marklikestv:
Yep, I sure have. Bought a Philips refurb which only lasted for a few uses before developing a power issue. It will still turn on at some random times, but unfortunately those times are not necessarily when we'd like to watch it.
conanthelibrarian May 11, 2013, 1:35am #11
I purchased an LG from Woot about a year ago. The controls on the TV did not work (the remote worked fine) from day 1 but the picture is great. If it wasn't for the fact that I was in the middle of moving when it came, I probably would of returned it and asked for a replacement. Other than that, it's a great TV.
wearemany May 11, 2013, 1:42am #12
JLoose:
Are you aware that Woot/Amazon has the best return/replacement service in the history of man? if your TV came with a dog eared box Woot would have sent you a over night replacement with no questions asked.
Consider this your fault.

I bought a similar Vizio 42 inch / 120hz from Woot about 6 months ago. Perfect shape- listed as "refurbished" but delivered brand new. Best purchase I've ever made. Love it. This one looks even better (narrower edges)
My 2 shillings.
noelopes May 11, 2013, 2:10am #14
kermur:
Agreed! I bought the refurb Vizio 32 inch, Smart TV about a month ago. After some connectivity issues with the wifi (which I solved by moving the modem less than 100 feet…through no less than 3 walls…away…listen, I tried, it's not like I went over to amazon and gave it 1 star because of my own idiocy) it has worked without issue…and as a side note, I've been VERY pleased running Netflix through this at 8 bucks a month. My 100/month satellite dish is starting to feel the mid-summer heat a little early.
outoftune May 11, 2013, 2:22am #15
I just read a review on Amazon, say's "It won't do NETFLIX!"…Can this be true?
cosmicac May 11, 2013, 2:35am #16
I had the same thing happen to me. I bought a 3D LG 46" and it arrived damaged, scratched, and poorly packed; but Woot took it back, and gave me a full refund; so I took a chance and bought another LG from Woot. Well this time the LG HDTV was well packaged and arrived in "like new condition." This is not an LG, it's a VIZIO, but I feel Woot has worked to improved their Big Screen TV shipping procedures.
daxe May 11, 2013, 2:50am #17
I wasn't going to buy anything from woot what with the new "cart". But I couldn't say no to this deal.

Not true at all, I bought this TV New from a retail store a week ago and it plays Netflix just fine. There is an issue with the wifi, either move your router close or us a wired connection.
kiminy May 11, 2013, 5:53am #19
I bought one of these new last month, and I can highly recommend it. Netflix works just fine, as does Amazon instant video. The third service offered on the TV is M-Go, but I haven't tried it.

where is it stated actually what their return policy is? also refurbs are supposed to be checked out better than new items and gone through an intense check but unless it is manufacturer refurbed all bets are off it is a crap shoot and gamble I have bought refurb stuff from woot and its hit or miss and as far as cosmetic scratches good luck I was told by woot that they DO NOT RETURN FOR COSMETIC REASONS I bought a refurb ipod touch and called them up after I received it becuase it was all scratched up showing heavy usage and was told sorry we cannot accept returns for cosmetic reasons I replied but this is a refurbed item it should look as new they said sorry it is not refurbbed by apple but by a third party learned my lesson no refurbs for me unless backed by a square trade or manufacturer refrub warranty

This free workshop takes place from 9-11am on 30 May in Burnley. Places are limited and can be booked on Eventbrite.


Polycol-LS is used as an polyester dyeing & printing.
Polyelectrolytes are polymers whose repeating units bear an electrolyte group. Polyelectrolyte properties are thus similar to both electrolytes and polymers, and are sometimes called polysalts. Polyelectrolytes are classified into weak polyelectrolyte and strong polyelectrolyte. A 'strong' polyelectrolyte is one which dissociates completely in solution for most reasonable pH values. Weak polyelectrolytes are not fully charged in solution, and moreover their fractional charge can be modified by changing the solution pH, counterion concentration, or ionic strength. Polyelectrolytes which bear both cationic and anionic repeat groups are called polyampholytes. Polyelectrolytes are highly versatile products which enhance the performance of a wide range of industrial applications and essential processes right from water purification, oil recovery, colour removal, paper making, mineral processing and a host of other uses. Polyelectrolytes are both flocculants as well as deflocculants depending upon the molecular weight.
Polyethersulfone describes a family of thermoplastic polymers that are known for their toughness and stability at high temperatures. They contain the subunit aryl-SO2-aryl, the defining feature of which is the sulfone group.
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of long chains produced by combing the ingredient monomer ethylene.Its grades include High density polyethylene,Linear low density polyethylene,Low density polyethylene.It is widely used in plastics.
Polyethylene Furanoate is a polymer that can be produced by polycondensation of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and ethylene glycol.It is a next-generation polyester that offers superior barrier and thermal properties, making it ideal material for the packaging of soft drinks, water, alcoholic beverages, fruit juices, food and non-food products.
Polyethylene Glycol 400 Diacrylate is used in plastic & polymer and adhesives, It is in clear liquid form. Its characteristics are chemical resistant, adhesives force, good flexibility, impact strength, low profile, water soluble, low skin irritation and able to form a flexible curing film.
Polyethylene Glycol 6000 is used in the production of various products like soft pharmaceutical dosage forms; water-receptive base for cream, toothpaste, compounding ingredient of lotions, deodorants, shampoos; emulsifying agents, detergents, dispersing agents, antistatic agents in textile and leather goods industry; plasticizing agent in paper-and-pulp industry; component of lubricating fluid; in polyurethane rubber production; solvents and additives in varnish and paints; in viscose production.
Polyfluorenes are a class of polymeric materials. They are of interest because similar to other conjugated polymers, they are currently being investigated for use in light-emitting diodes, field-effect transistors, and plastic solar cells. They are not a naturally occurring material, but are designed and synthesized for their applications. Modern chemistry has enabled adaptable synthesis and control over polyfluorenes that has facilitated use in many organic electronic applications.

What will he do next is the big question everyone has been asking themselves since the 2016 presidential election? We all can agree that the past election has been a rough and bumpy ride failed with dishonesty and betrayal to the American people. The two candidates, Hillary Clinton and our president elect Donald Trump were not the most favorable candidates to run for office. However, Trump has been elected by the American people and many are concerned about his plans for specific groups of people in the United States. Throughout his campaign, his opinions on groups such as, Muslims, Gays and blacks has been difficult to listen to. Based on what he said in his Campaign, I do not feel that Trump will govern this country in the best interest of every citizen. I believe his supporters have looked passed some of the harsh views he has shared and chose him because they want to see a drastic change in America. But, not all change is good. Change can happen rapidly but so can disaster if everyone is not in favor of that change. Whatever he chooses to accomplish in his presidency will bring about corruption if they are based on the views he has boldly stated throughout his campaign.

Porirua Showdown a Family Affair
By: New Zealand Rugby League
Published: Wed 9 Sep 2015 01:12 PM
If there's one game on the NZRL National Premiership schedule that carries just a little more spice than others, this week's Wellington Orcas v Wai-Coa-Bay Stallions is that fixture.
Stallions coach Tony Lajpold admits he does not relish the thought of losing to counterpart and brother-in-law Darryl Marino. That Christmas family dinner would seem perhaps a little more awkward than usual.
But the Orcas may just enter their clash in Porirua this Saturday as favourites, on the back of a shock first-up draw with Akarana Falcons and a big win over northern neighbours Central Vipers last week.
That result in Whanganui represented a 66-point turnaround from their loss in the same encounter 12 months ago, indicating things have changed dramatically in Marino's first season at the helm.
"We seem to be going along nicely at the moment, but we have some tough games still to come," he cautions.
"I just think the players are working hard at training. They're committed, they seem to be gelling, things are coming together and that's equating to some good performances."
That's a huge shift from the 2014 programme, which realised just one win. Marino wasn't involved in that campaign and avoids making comparisons, but his philosophy seems aligned with many of his rivals as this competition evolves.
"We're trying to pick the best players, but ones that have strong character too," he says. "We speak to all the local premier coaches and we believe, if players are doing the right things for their club, we're prepared to pick them.
"If they aren't, we don't. We want strong characters.
"When we go to training, we know they're going to be there too and want to be there, and they're working hard for each other."
Catching the Falcons first-up was a godsend for the Orcas, given the best Akarana players were still distracted by Auckland club playoffs and Warriors commitments. Wai-Coa-Bay were probably similarly advantaged in their opening win over Counties Manukau Stingrays.
But the circumstances that cost those two powerhouses their spots in last year's final have shown other teams that there is more to a campaign than just having the best depth of talent.
The Stallions were the biggest beneficiaries of that chain of events and Marino is obviously just as wary of what his brother-in-law is achieving in the Upper Central Zone.
"I think they're going to be one of the teams to beat," he says. "They're carrying on from where they left off last season. Whatever the circumstances, they're building on it.
"I think we've all taken confidence from what happened at the end of the season. If you can put a good campaign together, anything's possible.
"We're now working hard to put together those performances."
The Stingrays bounced back from their opening loss to trounce Northern Swords last week and host the Vipers this week, while Akarana return from the bye for a possible season-defining encounter with defending champions Rockcote Canterbury Bulls in Christchurch.

Watch a Sneak Peek Scene From Bristol...
Teen Mom, Video-a-Polooza
Watch a Sneak Peek Scene From Bristol Palin's Debut on 'Teen Mom OG': Plus Farrah Abraham Insists That Bristol Is Trying To Copy Her
August 21, 2018 by The Ashley
"She so obviously wants to be me…but, then again,. who doesn't?"
"Um…yeah, no…"
The eighth season of Teen Mom OG won't premiere until October, but MTV gave the show's fans a sneak peek at a scene starring the newest 'OG'-er, Bristol Palin!
In the just-released clip, Bristol chats with her mother, Sarah (who The Ashley just knows will provide her with plenty of recapping fodder!) During the talk, Bristol (who gave birth to her first child, Tripp, at the age of 17), talks about her life being a mess.
Well…she's certainly on the right show!
"I was a teen mom," she says. "My life is NOT perfect at all!"
"Amen!" a plucky Sarah replies.
"I want to do what's best for my kids," Bristol, who is also mom to two-year-old Sailor and 14-month-old Atlee, says in another part of the trailer.
As The Ashley previously told you, Bristol was contacted by MTV to replace original OG'er Maci Bookout on the show, after Maci refused to film unless her troubled ex, Ryan Edwards, was kicked off the show. (MTV eventually did, indeed, agree to stop filming Ryan and his wife Mackenzie.)
There was already an opening in the cast, due to Farrah Abraham getting booted from the show last year.
Naturally, Farrah didn't miss an opportunity to slam the show and its newest cast member. On Monday, Farrah was asked what she thought of Bristol joining the cast. According to the Backdoor Teen Mom, Bristol is trying to become Farrah…or something.
"I think it's like 'Girl, Interrupted,'" Farrah told Associated Press on the red carpet of Monday's MTV VMAs. "I see a girl try to move to where I live [Texas], try to have a piano (?), have the Pomeranians, have the same spot as me," Farrah said. "I'm actually kind of scared for that.
"I wish them all the best, but I'm very happy to move on," Farrah added.
Last month, when asked for her feelings on Bristol joining the show, Farrah told Us Weekly, "Who cares! I don't care, as there's no replacement for me, as we all know."
For her 'Teen Mom' efforts, though, Bristol will be making big bucks from MTV. The divorcee is reportedly raking in about $250,000 for her first season of the show. As The Ashley previously reported, Bristol's high-dollar starting salary pissed off the show's other cast members— Amber Portwood, Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout— as well as some of the Teen Mom 2 girls, who all started off the show making hundreds of thousands of dollars less than Bristol is.
According to MTV, 'Teen Mom OG' Season 8 premieres October 1.
Watch Bristol's first promo below:

Ugh, I'm done with the show! I was already struggling to keep up with the new seasons, but the show was supposed to be educational and a deterrent for teen pregnancy. Instead, they've all popped out more kids (except for Farrah ) which defeated the point of the show. Now it's reality trash. Bristol being added was the LAST straw!Time to stop watching it.
mallow says:
How is it that Farrah has that much silicone/Botox/fillers in that haggard face and still looks about 30 years older than the other girls? I'll give it to her that Bristol's face looks similar to the face that Farrah used to have, but Farrah is deluded if she thinks that people actually want to anything like her. Bitch, literally no one wants your life. Farrah is the human equivalent of a garbage fire, no one really wants to deal with her but she's such a raging disaster, we just can't look away. Please fade into oblivion already.
Farrah thinks everyone wants to copy her. Ofc, who doesn't want to get a butt load of plastic surgery, molds of her vagina being sold, make porn, etc. It's every girl's DREAM!
Anyone actually watch the vid of farrah's interview? And see sophia at the end? Wtf was she doing?!?!
Yeah that was creepy. Striking weird poses – it's too late for Sophia unfortunately :/
Electronical Stroller says:
I am just happy that Farrah is off the show. She is a horrible human being. Sophia is a sociopath in training. I'm elated that we no longer have to watch Farrah treat her family, the crew, waiters, her pets, etc., like shit and listen to her word salad. Hallelujah!
Ali'spinkchair says:
Farrah, get over yourself! No one wants to be you. Texas doesn't want you. Go back to California.
just me says:
Can't wait to watch her! ? I'd rather see some new girls instead of the old ones with the sameeeeeeee story line.. bring on Bristol !
David's balloon store says:
Yes Farrah, your delusional ideas about Bristol being obsessed with you are 100% true…did I miss the part when Bristol made corn hole porn? Lol. I'm no Bristol fan, but nobody wants to be Farrah. Farrah doesn't even really want to be Farrah. Hence the plastic surgery and fake BS attitude.
Lexii says:
I take it Farrah's never actually seen "Girl, Interrupted" ?
I assume she meant Single White Female…she is a lunatic.
Who in the fuck would want to copy her. The only thing scary is the demon child of hers.

Report: Surprises From the CDC's Updated Conditional Sailing Order
By Orlando Martinez
On Monday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated and extended its Framework for Conditional Sailing Order through January 15, 2022, making several notable modifications that might give the cruise lines more flexibility to operate in the coming months.
The organization also gave us, for the first time, a comprehensive look at the readiness state of the cruise industry and COVID-19 incidents over the summer as the ships resumed sailing from U.S. ports for the first time in over a year.
(Photo courtesy of CDC)
Let's go inside the revised CSO and look at some of the most significant data and updates.
The CDC Has Identified 6 "Large" Outbreaks Since Late July
For the first time, the CSO extension offers some details on what the CDC refers to as 6 "large" COVID-19 outbreaks on cruise ships since passenger sailings resumed in late June.
While the reports lack a ship or cruise line name, they still offer interesting insight into conditions onboard.
On July 24, one symptomatic passenger who tested positive for COVID-19 was epidemiologically-linked to 20 additional cases of the virus over two voyages, including 18 crew members and 2 passengers. The vaccination rate on what the CDC refers to as "Cruise Ship A" ranged between 99.8–100 percent for crew and 96.4–97.5 percent for passengers.
Between July 24 and August 28, "Cruise Ship B" reported 58 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19, The vaccination rate on this ship ranged between 96.8–97.7 percent for passengers and averaged 100 percent for crew.
From July 29 to 31, "Cruise Ship C" reported three symptomatic passengers who tested positive for COVID-19. Contact tracing identified 10 additional passengers and 2 crew members who tested positive. All crew members and 97 percent of passengers were vaccinated.
Between July 26 and August 6, seven laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 were identified in passengers and crew aboard "Cruise Ship D." 100 percent of crew and 96.8–97.7 percent of passengers were vaccinated.
From August 19 to September 7, a total of 105 passengers and crew from four consecutive cruises aboard "Cruise Ship E" had laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases. All crew members and an average of 97 percent of passengers across the voyages were vaccinated.
Between August 21 and September 7, "Cruise Ship F" reported a total of 112 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases among passengers and crew across four consecutive cruises. Fully 100 percent of passengers and crew aboard all four sailings were vaccinated.
Between June 26 and October 21, 49 hospitalizations and 38 medical evacuations from cruise ships related to COVID-19 were reported to the CDC.
While even a single case of COVID-19 on a cruise ship is concerning, the number of "large" outbreaks, hospitalizations and evacuations as reported by the CDC seem relatively low considering the hundreds of thousands of passengers who have enjoyed a cruise vacation in the four months since sailings have resumed.
Passengers are Lying About Their Symptoms
The CDC reports several instances of passengers who had COVID-19 symptoms at the time of embarkation or became symptomatic during their cruise who did not immediately report their symptoms to the medical center.
This resulted in extensive contact-tracing due to the presumed length of time since the first onset of infection and the large number of people they may have come in contact with.
The CDC cites a passenger on "Cruise Ship F" who was fully vaccinated and tested negative for COVID-19 three days prior to boarding, but was symptomatic at embarkation.
The passenger denied having symptoms when boarding the ship and died of illness related to COVID-19 three days later. This is the only COVID-19 related death cited by the CDC in the CSO extension.
As a result of this passenger's deception, extensive steps were taken by the cruise line, as noted by the CDC:
Contact tracing to identify exposed persons, which included interviews of passengers and crew, review of security footage, and analysis of wearable technology and other relevant location data;
Notifications to close contacts to advise them to monitor for symptoms, and to federal, state, and local partners in two states;
Screening testing to identify those who could have been infected;
Isolation for close contacts who tested positive for COVID-19;
Quarantine for close contacts who tested negative for COVID-19 but could have still developed the illness during the incubation period.
Based on these time-sensitive and labor-intensive public health actions, the cruise line identified over 30 close contacts from the one infected passenger.
The Cruise Industry Doesn't Like the CSO
As part of the CSO process, the CDC solicited public comments from the cruise industry and its partners. The CDC reports that it received only 15 responses, 11 of which were cruise industry representatives.
The majority of responses indicated that industry-wide COVID-19 protocols were important and that continued communication and collaboration between the industry and the CDC was critical.
However, most industry representatives disagreed that the port agreements required under the CSO have value, and that most industry reps said the CDC's "Cruise Ship Color" status webpage was not useful.
The CDC acknowledges that the sample size of survey responses is too low to draw meaningful conclusions and that additional feedback will be solicited prior to additional changes or extensions of the CSO.

Over 50 Ships are Cleared to Sail
As of October 21, the CDC says that 53 cruise ships have received Conditional Sailing Certificates and are cleared to operate in U.S. waters.
The CDC's Maritime Inspection Unit has inspected a total of 15 cruise ships, ranging from one-day inspections while the ship was in port, to multi-day investigations while the ship was sailing. The CDC notes that ships have worked closely with inspectors to quickly remedy any observed lapses in protocols or training onboard.
Cruise Lines Have Agreements with 17 U.S. Homeports
Port Everglades is among 17 U.S. Homeports with Technical Agreements in Place (Photo courtesy of Port Everglades)
The CSO requires that cruise lines have technical agreements with any U.S. homeports they operate from, and the CDC notes that as of late October, cruise lines have signed such agreements with 17 U.S. homeports, covering all 83 cruise ships governed by the CSO, with 48 vessels approved to dock at more than one port.
Changes and Revisions Bring Added Flexibility to the Cruise Lines
As part of the CSO extension, the CDC made several modifications. While most of the updates are minor or administrative, several of them are more significant.
U.S.-Flagged Ships are Exempt
Pride of America gets a special carve-out and is no longer bound by the CDC's Conditional Sailing Order as of November 1, 2021
The CDC added "foreign flagged" to the generic term "cruise ships," indicating that U.S. flagged ships over 250 passengers are no longer bound to the CSO.

This clarification might as well have just read "excluding Pride of America," as Norwegian's U.S.-flagged ship that sails the Hawaiian islands is the only large, U.S.-flagged ship that will be impacted by this change.
Marketing Can be Warning-Free
Cruise lines will no longer be required to include CDC warnings, advisories, or recommendations in marketing material. While it's unclear how closely this provision has been executed and enforced, as of November 1, cruise lines don't need to include any cautions, though some may choose to do so.
Longer Cruises Are Allowed
The requirement that cruises be limited to seven nights or less will no longer apply as of November 1, meaning longer sailings are allowed.
Some cruise lines have longer cruises scheduled for 2022 and beyond, but very few cruise lines have extended cruises scheduled to leave from U.S. ports on the schedule in 2021, so this is unlikely to have much of an immediate effect.
If There's a COVID-19 Outbreak, Your Cruise Might Continue
Previously, the CDC required that a ship with a significant COVID-19 outbreak onboard immediately end its cruise and return to port. Now, the CSO advises that ending the cruise in this scenario may occur.
There's a Path to Transition from "Fully Vaccinated" Cruises
For the first time, the CDC has outlined a process for cruise ships that are sailing "fully vaccinated" — that's ships that did not complete a "simulated voyage" and are cruising with 95 percent of crew and passengers vaccinated — to transition to cruises with fewer vaccinated passengers without having to go through a simulated voyage.
The new requirements involve the cruise line submitting operational plans to the CDC, and notify passengers who booked the sailing as "fully vaccinated" that it would no longer be operating as such. Similar requirements also apply to ships arriving in U.S. waters that have been successfully operating internationally.
While this might seem like just a small pivot, this new process has the potential to be a significant change that will give cruise lines tremendous flexibility in operating as the pandemic continues to evolve.

Wuhan meet likely to set road map for intensifying CBMs
2 min read . Updated: 26 Apr 2018, 11:11 PM IST Srikanth Kondapalli
While bilateral relations are beset with a number of contentious issues, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and China's President Xi Jinping are expected to find ways and means to break the logjam
The expected eight-hour-long informal interaction between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping in the picturesque Wuhan has attracted global and national attention.
The expectations are high, with foreign minister Sushma Swaraj suggesting the subjects include "over-arching" bilateral and international issues.
As this is an "informal meeting", the outcomes would be sketchy as there is no scope for a joint statement. However, future trajectories of bilateral relations are expected to get a facelift, especially in soft areas where ties have not acquired contentious dimensions.
Since the Xiamen multilateral meeting of the BRICS in September, when the idea of an exclusive meeting between the two populous but "simultaneously rising" Asian countries' leaders was broached, hectic parleys took place. A flurry of visits ensued.
While bilateral relations are beset with a number of contentious issues such as the unresolved territorial dispute, China's continuing support for Pakistan's adventurism, its controversial role in Nepal, Maldives and Sri Lanka, forays in the Indian Ocean with submarine visits and buildup of bases such as Djibouti and Gwadhar, the two leaders are expected to find ways and means to break the logjam. This is tricky but the alternative of going back to the past is equally problematic as both countries' footprints expand inexorably.
A 100-year war between Britain and France sapped their strengths, so with the Soviet Union and the US. As China and India build up on the borders and in South China Sea and Indian Ocean regions, this is something they need to learn from history.
In order to escape the emerging trade war with the US, China needs to diversify into unexplored areas, specifically in India. Chinese telecom giants Huawei and ZTE are already facing flak in the US. For India, President Trump's reluctance to step on Indian soil more than a year into his term is disappointing and a surprise visit to Wuhan will send signals of strategic autonomy.
Many issues will be raised by both sides, with hard issues becoming less intractable. Given the low level of relations that the Doklam incident had set in last year, it is likely that the Modi-Xi meeting could come up with a road map for intensifying confidence-building measures.
The current bilateral joint army operations have been postponed several times and only 106 soldiers participate from each side. This is likely to be enhanced, although China is reluctant to conduct these in areas opposite Pakistan.
Secondly, while India continues to raise the contentious issue of Chinese investment and deployment of "security guards" in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, New Delhi is likely to agree to investments in infrastructure projects in India, a promise President Xi made in September 2014 but which has witnessed little progress.
Thirdly, China has made major strides in vocational education, and India in higher education, IT and management. It is likely both leaders realize the opportunities in collaborating in these sectors.
Fourth, there are opportunities for both in health, medicine and related sectors given the rise of pandemics and other diseases recently. Social sector focus could as well enhance the image in both countries on excessive obsession with economic GDP figures.
Finally, cultural exchanges are likely to be enhanced, tapping into the soft power potential. In a future bilateral formal joint statement, we could possibly witness expansion in scholarships to learn each other's languages—as Swaraj alluded to in her visit to Beijing—as well as in film production, book and other exhibitions, and visits to each other's campuses and in tourism sector.

What happens to Scottish MPs after a Yes vote?
Angus Robertson, SNP MP, caused a bit of a stir recently when he called for a postponement of the 2015 UK General Election in the event of a Yes vote in the referendum. Thomas Widman has a good summary of the arguments for this here. I do not agree with this idea of postponing these elections. Delaying elections is rarely, if ever, a good idea. I also think there would be outrage all over the rest of the UK if this were to be seriously proposed. However Robertson's suggestion does rais the very important issue of what happens to MPs from Scottish constituencies after a Yes vote. I offer my own suggestion below.
First of all though the key point to note is that though Scotland will not become legally independent, de jure, until 2016 at the earliest, it will will be de facto independent immediately after a Yes vote. During the period between a Yes vote and the the actuality of independence the Scottish and Westminster governments will be in pretty constant negotiation over the details of the independence settlement. This means that in effect Westminster ceases to be the government of the whole of the UK and becomes instead the government of the rest of the UK. In turn this will meant that any legislation on reserved matters which affect Scotland, welfare for example, could only be enacted for Scotland with the approval of the Scottish government. The alternative is just chaos and plain daft. Whatever the rUK government might think in private, there will be enormous pressure from everyone else, the EU, NATO, not to mention the business community, for a swift, smooth and successful transition. Needlessly alienating the Scottish government makes no sense for the rUK. After a Yes vote everyone will want to see close, friendly and co-operative relations between rUK and Scotland, just as there is today between UK and Ireland.
What then does this mean for the role of MPs from Scottish constituencies. Basically it means they will have no role whatsoever. All the negotiations and decisions will be taken jointly by the Scottish and rUK governments. Scottish MPs will have no input whatsoever. In the first instance this would make the positions of Danny Alexander and Jo Swinton pretty much untenable as government ministers. Then there would be the matter of what to do with the Scotland Office and Alistair Carmichael. However the key decision will be what to do about MPs from Scotland in 2015. Delaying the election is not in my view an option. I can only see one solution, and that is to exclude Scotland from the 2015 election. Given that Westminster has by then become the de facto rUK parliament, and in less than a year's time this will be confirmed de jure, it seems the logical and most practical solution. After a Yes vote Scotland will not need representation in parliament in Westminster as all the decisions will be taken by the two governments. The rUK will not want a bunch of MPs from Scotland lounging about the place, but unable to influence the outcome of any vote. Any government that emerges from the 2015 election has to based on a majority in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Legislation to limit the 2015 election to those constituencies that will be part of the rUK would be simple to introduce and pass. It allows the people of the rUK to exercise their democratic right to self-government, saves everyone a bit of money and simply gives recognition to the de facto reality of Scottish independence.

So if your suggestion gets accepted, what do you expect will happen to the Scottish seats in Westminster? Will they be vacant after May 2015, or will the current MPs continue to sit until independence day?
Thanks for linking to my blog post, btw!

Scottish MPs will remain at Westminster until the 2015 UK election, but unofficially excluded from voting. Thereafter there would be no MPs from Scotland at Westminster.
Thomas Widmann
Is that not problematic? What if independence didn't happen as planned in 2016, but got postponed repeatedly? If could be useful to have Scottish MPs in Westminster to put some pressure on the government down there to speed up matters.
Interesting point, but the de factor existence of 2 states plus the pressure from allies and businesses are all more likely to ensure a speedy and agreed settlement by 2016. Scottish MPs have little enough influence at present. They would have none after a Yes vote.
I'm not entirely convinced it wouldn't be safer to keep the MPs there until independence day.
If the general election cannot be postponed, I think the best course of action would be to postpone it in Scotland only, and to make all the Scottish MPs agree to not taking part in any votes not affecting Scotland. (E.g., they could still vote on participating in a war with immediate effect, but not on holding an EU referendum after Scottish independence day).
If I was convinced that Scottish MPs in this scenario would act in the interests of Scotland then your idea has some merit. But I fear some would try to obstruct the negotiations out of self interest.

People often forget this argument when wondering why people like Darling, Alexander (both Danny and Douglas), Carmichael, Swinson et al are so vehemently opposed to independence. There is an entire Scottish political class which stands to lose their highly paid and influential positions in Westminster in the event of of a Yes vote. No bad thing if you ask me!
Very good point. The sooner we can be freed from their self serving whines the better.
I don't blame them really, to them we really are "better together". I just think folk need to take a deeper look into the motivations of those who are arguing the case both ways.

The RECOMMENDATIONS section gives you the bottom line: how much fertilizer or lime should you apply for optimum growth of your lawn, garden, or landscape plants? For some people, this may be the only part of the Soil Test Report that they are concerned about.
The initial line of the RECOMMENDATIONS section tells you what type of plants the recommendation is for. In our case, of course, we have one for a Home Lawn and one for a Vegetable Garden. Immediately below is an area between two solid lines that gives the actual amounts of lime and fertilizer nutrients to apply. Below that at the bottom of the page are additional instructions on how to select a fertilizer, application timing, and methods of application.
In the Example Home Lawn Report, on the left side of the first line of the RECOMMENDATIONS it tells you that the "LIME RECOMMENDATION" is 0 LBS/1,000 SQ. FT. (0 pounds of lime per 1,000 square feet), so liming is not required. On the right side of the first line it says "Grass watered Clippings removed" This is information you supplied on the Soil Sample Information Sheet when you sent in your sample. It is important because nitrogen recommendations for lawns vary depending on the way they are managed. You can find more information on this at Established Lawns and Turf, Nitrogen Recommendations. The next line says "TOTAL AMOUNT OF EACH NUTRIENT TO APPLY PER YEAR*" and below that are the recommendations for the three major nutrients: NITROGEN – 4 LBS/1,000 SQ. FT., PHOSPHATE – 0 LBS/1,000 SQ. FT., and POTASH – 3 LBS/1,000 SQ. FT. The asterisk at the end of the "TOTAL AMOUNT" line refers you to a "CAUTION!" statement below that discusses split nitrogen applications and slow release fertilizers to avoid burning the grass. This is followed by a schedule for split applications.
The terms phosphate and potash are used to express the amounts of phosphorus and potassium in fertilizer recommendations, as well as their percentages in bags of fertilizer. They are also frequently referred to by their chemical formulas, which are P2O5 for phosphate and K2O for potash, although these chemical formulas are not used in the University of Minnesota Soil Test Report.
The next line below the total amount of nutrients to apply is the approximate NPK (Nitrogen:Phosphate:Potash) ratio of the fertilizer recommendation, which is 20-0-15. This ratio helps you choose a fertilizer that will be as close as possible to matching the recommendation. This is discussed in the first paragraph of the information section immediately below and additional details on selecting a fertilizer and determining application rates are in the Explanation of Soil Test Report page. You can find a more complete discussion of fertilizers, rate calculations, and application methods at Inorganic and Organic Fertilizers, Slow Release Fertilizers, Fertilizer Grades, Calculating Fertilizer Rates from Soil Test Recommendations, Methods of Applying Fertilizers, and Yard Waste Compost Application.
Application of phosphorus fertilizer to established lawns in Minnesota is regulated by state law to protect water quality. Phosphorus containing fertilizer cannot be applied unless a soil test shows a need for phosphorus to maintain adequate fertility. Because this soil test does not demonstrate a phosphorus requirement, it will be extremely important to select a fertilizer that contains no phosphorus (the middle number on the fertilizer bag is zero). For more information see Preventing Pollution Problems from Lawn and Garden Fertilizers.
The final recommendation on the Home Lawn Report is for Sulfur: 0.5 LBS/1,000 SQ. FT. Most soils in Minnesota will not require sulfur fertilization for adequate grass growth, but the coarse-textured soil with low organic matter in this location is a situation where sulfur can be deficient.
In the Vegetable Garden Report, the "LIME RECOMMENDATION" is 20 LBS/100 SQ. FT. The first thing to recognize is that lime and fertilizer recommendations for vegetable and flower gardens, as well as landscape trees and shrubs, are given for an area of 100 SQ. FT. This is different than the recommendations above for the Home Lawn, which were for an area of 1,000 SQ. FT. If you calculate your fertilizer rate using the wrong unit of area, you will over- or under-fertilize by a factor of 10.
Plants differ in their optimum pH requirements and liming rates differ accordingly. For a Vegetable Garden, the lime requirement is designed to raise soil pH to 6.5. See Raising Soil pH for more information on liming soils. Some plants, such as azaleas and blueberries, require acid soil and you may have to lower soil pH for them to grow well. See Soil Acidification for more information if your Soil Test Report is for plants where you need to lower soil pH. Information on the pH requirements of some common landscape plants can be found at Soil pH Preferences for Selected Landscape Plants.
The "TOTAL AMOUNT OF EACH NUTRIENT TO APPLY PER YEAR*" for the Vegetable Garden are: NITROGEN – 0.15 LBS/100 SQ. FT., PHOSPHATE – 0.2 LBS/100 SQ. FT., and POTASH – 0.3 LBS/100 SQ. FT.. At the bottom of the page is a recommendation for a midseason application of additional nitrogen for certain vegetable crops. The approximate NPK ratio of this fertilizer recommendation is 15-20-30. The information section below the recommendations, the Explanation of Soil Test Report page, and the information links listed above in the Home Lawn discussion provide details on selecting a fertilizer, determining application rates, and methods of application.
If your Soil Test Report is for something different than an established lawn or a vegetable garden, such as a flower garden, new lawn, trees, shrubs, or a fruit planting, it will follow the same format as the examples we have gone through and the information presented here should be helpful. For additional information on fertilizing other types of plants, refer to: Trees, Shrubs, and Fruits, Vegetable and Flower Gardens, New Lawns and Turf, and Tree Fertilization: A Guide for Fertilizing New and Established Trees in the Landscape.


At the FAA Northwest Mountain Region annual conference held in Seattle March 28-30, Deputy Regional Administrator David Suomi provided an overview to the soon to be released new Part 107. In the spring of 2015 the FAA sought public comment on a proposed rule making that would provide new guidelines for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) that could reduce requirements such as pilot certification and provide new opportunities to enhance UAS operations with the use of observers and similar improvements. The rule making received more than 4500 comments. The FAA intends to publish the new Part 107 by the end of June 2016.

Q: Python 3.x - How to check if "From:" header exists in an email file? Since has_keys() function is removed in Python 3 and above, I don't know what code to use to check if a "From: " header exist in an email file.
Here is my current snippet:

with open(emlFile, 'rb') as fp:
        headers = BytesParser(policy=policy.default).parse(fp)
        if 'From:' in headers:
            str = headers['from']

I used in instead of has_keys('from') since that is what I saw from other threads in StackOverflow

A: Quoting official Python docs (emphasis mine):
BytesParser.parse:

Read all the data from the binary file-like object fp, parse the
  resulting bytes, and return the message object. fp must support both
  the readline() and the read() methods on file-like objects.

Since result of parse is Message instance, let's check that class docs:
__contains__(name):

Return true if the message object has a field
  named name. Matching is done case-insensitively and name should not
  include the trailing colon. Used for the in operator, e.g.:

if 'message-id' in myMessage:
   print('Message-ID:', myMessage['message-id'])

Your check includes trailing colon and is invalid according to docs. Valid check is:
if 'from' in headers:
    do_something()
