Bo Bichette - Doubles Monster
Bo Bichette was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2016 in the second round after batting .569 in his senior year in High School. His draft profile noted his steady glove and strong arm as positives coming into the league, something that we'll get into right off. He won numerous awards in the minors like MVP (2017), plenty of All Stars, and two Futures selections (2017, 2018). Going into the 2019 year, Bichette was ranked the second best Blue Jays prospect (behind Vlad Jr), and ninth overall. His 2019 campaign saw great success with a slash line of .311/.358/.571 with eleven homers and 21 RBI's. In 2020, he did end up with a sprained right knee, but still managed a .301/.328/.512 with five homers and eighteen RBI's.
Before we get started, I appreciate all of the views and complements. Feel free to comment on posts and request any breakdowns you would like to see!
Outs Above Average (OAA) 20th percentile
Defensive Runs Saved (DRS): -1
Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR): 1.1
Bichette is a below average shortstop defensively. Out of 39 qualified shortstops last year, Bichette ranked 28th in success rate (87%) and 24th in OAA. We can all agree that other than catcher and center fielder, typically your best defender is the shortstop. The Blue Jays have gone on the record on working with Bo to improve his defense as far back as last year. He has made an improvement over 2019, where he was 29th in OAA and raised his success rate by 1% (86% last year). I could see an eventual shift to second base if Toronto makes a move for another shortstop.
xBA 89th percentile
xwOBA 70th percentile
K% 57th percentile
BB%: 4th percentile
Whiff: 74th percentile
For a position player, Bichette excels as a hitter. For a shortstop, he's top tier. Bichette is making contact on practically every swing he takes. Let's look at our zone breakdown:
The left zone shows swing percentage by zone and as I've mentioned, he makes contact. Typically, with a batter profile like this, you'd expect a huge spike in strikeout percentage (for example, Javier Baez). This is not the case with Bichette. When he makes contact, the ball almost always in play. Using his above average sprint speed, he legs out singles and stretches some into doubles, even though he crushes the ball.
The middle graph, expected BA on contacted pitches, reinforces my prior thoughts. Here's what's eye opening with these two graphs; Bichette's zone contact percentage was 90.8% in 2020, which was 8% above the average. Granted, I don't believe that this is sustainable, but it's rare to get this kind of production out of the shortstop position.
Even though Bo makes great contact, one area that suffers from this is his walk percentage. He walked five times in 128 plate appearances. Funny enough, he only walked on outside pitches, most likely because he couldn't reach the bat out to hit it. One of those walks, a high splitter from Tanaka, was certainly in the strike zone, so we'll call it four walks on the season.
Exit Velo (EV) 57th percentile
Hard Hit: 57th percentile
xSLG: 89th percentile
Barrel: 82nd percentile
Out of 257 qualified players, he ranked 21st in the league and third out of all shortstops in Barrels per Plate Appearances. As you may know by now, Barrels are a fancy term for squaring up a ball. Bichette won't ever be a leader in homers, but he has enough pop for 15-20 of them a year. Bo excels in hitting the ball into the outfield hard and stretching singles into doubles. Check out his line drive percentage; MLB average - 25.7% - Bichette - 33.3%. This trait is perfect for a leadoff hitter.
Sprint Speed 70th percentile
Speed is a pivotal for Bichette's success as a hitter. His speed will predicate whether he is a singles slapper or a doubles machine. The speed also factors into scoring runs, which he led the minors in before. Going second to home is one of those stats that just don't show up on the ledger. Although he did hit the IL this year with a sprained right knee, his speed did jump down from the 89th percentile to 70th. Look for this to bump back up next year.
Bichette won't be at short for much longer, unless there's a path to exceed defensively. His offensive numbers make him a top of the order bat. Thanks to having Vlad Jr on his team, and his high contact rate, pitchers won't be able to rest with him in the box. I see Bo being near the tops in doubles and runs scored in the future. Once he settles in at second or even third, Bichette will solidify himself as an above average infielder.

An everyday moisturizing sun protector with SPF-15 that not only locks essential moisture but also works as defense system for the skin by protecting it from ill-effects of the sun, wind, UV radiation and heat. It helps heal minor rashes and sun burns while moisturizing skin.
I got a bottle of this lotion today, and my first impression isn't too bad.
A light lotion - reminds of calamine with its light pink colour. I don't know if the smell is from the rose water, but there is some other component to it.
Would have loved the pump dispenser, but no cap for the pump. At first I thought, I had misplaced it somewhere in all the packaging, but turns out there really is no cap.
The ingredient list looked a little scary with liquid paraffin listed right at the top, but my skin is going through a dry phase right now, so hopefully, this would fit in nicely. The rose water, chamomille, wheatgerm, and aloe vera extracts make me want to really like this lotion.
So that's it for now. Will do a detailed review in about 2 weeks. The Lotus Herbals Professional Phyto-Rx range is only available in specific salons. The list of salons selling Lotus Herbals Professional Phyto-Rx range can be found here.
Product provided by the brand.
No it no smell of roses..but something like that they put ...kewra? OMG hope nobody dies laughing at my guesses...is a mix of some of those kind of smells...they put it in food...some ppl put na rose water in food..like that..something.
Nivedita - I think they upgraded the packaging, both with this and the Whiteglow range.

Q: Using jquery, how do I return an element with the next consecutive ID when the elements aren't in consecutive order? I have an array of links set out in groups as per the example below.  The ID's for the links are consecutively numbered but the links themselves are not in consecutive order.  I know how to return the href and ID of the clicked link but I also want to get the href of the link with the next consecutive ID and when that becomes the selected element, get the next and so on.  I know how to do this when the elements are in consecutive order themselves but not when they're like this.
Any help would be most appreciated.
My HTML

My Script
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.clickable').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var this_href = $(this).attr('href');
var this_ID = $(this).attr('id');
var next_ID = //this is the part I can't work out
});
});

A: If I understood the question correctly, this should do it.  I added the if statement just to catch the trailing zero if the number is smaller than 10.  For numbers larger than 100 you would have to do something similar.
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.clickable').click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var this_ID = $(this).attr('id');
    var id_pieces = this_ID.split('-');
    var currentId = parseInt(id_pieces[1]);

    var next_ID = '';
    if(currentId>=10){
        next_ID = id_pieces[0]+'-'+(currentId+1);
    }else{
        next_ID = id_pieces[0]+'-0'+(currentId+1);
    }

    console.log(next_ID);

    });
    });

A: I am not sure what the scope of your markup is in regards to how many elements you plan on having on screen.  Whatever the case, given the way you have it set up you could do something like this:
var thisId = $(this).attr('id');
var nextId = null;

//use some regex to get the id from the end of the string
var matches = thisId.match(/\d+$/);

//if it finds a matching integer...
if (matches) {

    //parse out the integer and increment it by 1
    var nextIdInt = parseInt(matches[0], 10);
    nextIdInt++;

    //build the next id string:
    //if less than 10, it addes a leading zero, otherwise just leaves it as is
    nextId = (nextIdInt < 10) ?  "itemid-" + "0" + nextIdInt : "itemid-" + nextIdInt;
}

if (nextId) {
    //do something here with the next id if it is not null
}

If I were doing this, I might make it a bit easier on myself by using a custom attribute.  This would avoid using regex or any string manipulation and would make the code a lot simpler.
On your 'clickable' anchors, give them some sort of index attribute like so:

Then your js can simply be:
var thisId = $(this).attr('id');
var nextId = null;

//increment the index and store it in a variable
var nextIndex = parseInt($(this).attr('data-index'), 10) + 1;

//get the next element
var nextElement = $('a.clickable[data-index="' + nextIndex + '"]');

//probably smart to make sure we found something...
if (nextElement.length > 0) {

    //if you want the id
     nextId = nextElement.attr('id');

}

And if you don't want it as readable and all you want is the next id:
var thisId = $(this).attr('id');
var nextId =  $('a.clickable[data-index="' + (parseInt($(this).attr('data-index'), 10) + 1) + '"]').attr('id');

Here's a fiddle

Fairway, NAIFA Announce New Educational Partnership
August 4, 2020, 9:08 pm By Chris Clow
Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp. and the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) have entered into an educational partnership, which will position Fairway as a subject matter expert in NAIFA's Limited & Extended Care Planning (LECP) Center, RMD has learned.
The agreement will see Fairway provide educational materials for NAIFA-sponsored events like webinars, blog posts and print pieces in the association's Advisor Today magazine publication. Additionally, Fairway subject matter experts will also join NAIFA's National Speaker's Bureau, and the two organizations will collaborate through the LECP Center to further the education of financial planners and consumers on a host of mortgage-related topics, including the greater incorporation of home equity into retirement planning.
While the partnership broadly incorporates all of Fairway's mortgage business, the ability for the potential benefits of reverse mortgages specifically to be better communicated through this partnership is very high, according to the Fairway's reverse mortgage division head.
Avoiding financial 'malpractice'
An ongoing problem of retirement planning in America is that the single largest asset that senior homeowners have access to is often not a part of the conversations that take place in and around retirement planning, and this partnership will aim to change that more fully. This is according to Harlan Accola, Fairway's national reverse mortgage director in an interview with RMD.
"If people are sick and they go to the hospital to have two specialists work with them, the two doctors talk to each other," Accola says. "And if they don't, or don't read each other's notes and work together, it's called malpractice. The financial planning and mortgage worlds — especially reverse mortgages — don't work together."
For NAIFA, the association recently made a change to its governing code of ethics to make overridingly clear that members must act in the best interest of the client. Echoing Accola's point, NAIFA came to realize that the willful dismissal of home equity from the retirement conversation could be seen as an act that doesn't accomplish an advisory obligation of doing everything possible to assist a client. This is according to Suzanne Carawan, VP of marketing and communications at NAIFA.
"In that regard, reverse mortgages really do fit into that portfolio as something that comes up for quite a few options for funding," Carawan says. "But kind of like long-term care, [the product category] may be either misunderstood, or was not put in the right context considering some new changes that we need to educate people about. So, that's where Fairway fits in nicely."
The reach of NAIFA, which has an estimated 25,000 members, will allow for a greater flow of information between the home equity experts at Fairway and the advising experts at the association, Accola says. Bringing this path up to NAIFA members further emphasizes the medical analogy that Accola started, and which Carawan finished.
"You need a care team," she says. "If this were for your [medical] health, you'd likely have a whole set of doctors and specialists in different areas coming together under the auspices of one care plan. Why should that be different for your financial health?"
How the partnership naturally includes reverse mortgages
While forward loan officers will have access to the same educational materials and content that the partnership will produce, the biggest potential for expanding the base of borrowers is on the reverse mortgage side, Accola says.
"You can do a forward mortgage pretty easily without getting into [issues of] long-term care insurance, life insurance of legacy, assets under management and everything else," Accola says. "For the reverse mortgage, you really have to have [those elements] involved. That's why we're starting with that, because that begs the need for financial planning."
For NAIFA, the long-term care funding potential of reverse mortgages presented an attractive educational prospect, but the idea of using what is likely a senior's biggest asset also made sense in terms of ways an advisor can make sure that all possible options are explored for retirement financing on behalf of the client.
"A reverse mortgage is definitely an option a client can take to try to find long-term care," Carawan explains. "But then, it becomes more about asking if this
not enough financial advisors even know the basics of this."
On top of that, the potential ability for a loan officer to more actively plan for a future reverse mortgage among clients who may not yet qualify will also help to plan out a more robust roadmap for the client to follow when the time comes, Accola explains.
"A lot of the forward people never have had a relationship with a financial advisor," Accola says. "We believe they should, because it will allow them to help people in their 40s and 50s. Informing them that they don't have to pay off the house because they can get a reverse mortgage at 62 could allow them to invest more money now."
Financial literacy and reverse mortgages
To begin the educational partnership, first some education about the possibilities and uses of a reverse mortgage had to be communicated to NAIFA, Accola says. While Fairway has been attending and exhibiting at NAIFA conferences for some time, a more detail-oriented conversation about the potential reformation of retirement and how to help more people was the initial catalyst for what would become a partnership, Accola says.
"What I talked to them about is that this is about changing the way retirement is done in this country," he says. "This is not just about selling some reverse mortgages and helping some of their people sell insurance, or other products they have. We need to take care of the long-term care problem, and that is one of the biggest problems that we're facing."
As advocates for financial literacy among both its own members and the broader public, the incorporation of reverse mortgages into the broader retirement conversations was attractive in progressing toward that goal due to the underutilization of the home in planning for retirement, Carawan adds.
"We talk a lot about financial security for all, and financial literacy for all," she says. "If there is an option that can really help Americans have greater financial security, then we need to learn about it, provide the right education for it and embrace it."
NAIFA also recognizes that there can be a lot of widely spread misinformation about the reverse mortgage product category. Instead of warding them off of embracing it as an educational topic, it instead reinforces the necessity for clarity and accessibility of good information, she says.
"Many people are either using old, outdated information on which to base current decision-making that hasn't been updated, or they just flat out don't know," she says. "What we do know is that our job here is to give a platform to [offer] all the facts and information. [A client can then] take that and decide how to build the right 'financial health team.'"
Since a number of NAIFA members are in the long-term care insurance or life insurance business with long-term care riders, the pairing only seemed more natural in terms of expanding the retirement conversation, Accola says.
"We at Fairway believe that we can change a lot of the compliance problems by working together," Accola says. "Because if we're talking to the advisors, and we're putting a client into a better situation because of the products that we both sell as part of an overall financial plan, we firmly believe that that is going to help with the compliance issue, which will only allow us to go on to help more people in retirement."

The first inactivated COVID-19 vaccine phase III clinical trial progresses smoothly and wins praise
Post Time:2020-11-11 [Large Middle Small] View:
As of November 11, there were more than 51 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide. Many places around the world are going through the second wave of the epidemic, and people from all over the world are increasingly looking forward to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Currently, the phase III clinical trial of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Sinopharm CNBG is ongoing in the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Peru and Argentina. More than 50,000 people of 125 nationalities have received the jabs.
As the trials are approaching the endpoint, the figures all show good results. Sinopharm CNBG strictly followed the regulated procedures to ensure the vaccine of top safety are provided to the people.
▲The clinical trial site of Sinopharm CNBG's vaccine in Abu Dhabi
The UAE PM: We wish everyone safety and great health.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, sends out a tweet about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. "While receiving the COVID-19 vaccine today," Sheikh Mohammed tweeted. "We wish everyone safety and great health, and we are proud of our teams who have worked relentlessly to make the vaccine available in the UAE. The future will always be better in the UAE."
Before the Prime Minister, there had been over 10 UAE high-level officials received the vaccination. On July 15th, Chairman of the Department of Health Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Hamed, volunteered as the first one to receive the vaccine.
On Sept. 19th, Abdul Rahman bin Mohammed Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention, received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
On Oct. 16th, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, received the vaccination.
October 31st, Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, received the vaccination.
Bahrain Crowne Prince: Contribute to the fight against COVID-19
Apart from the UAE, heads and political dignitaries of Bahrain and Egypt also volunteered in Sinopharm CNBG's clinical trial.
Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad on Sept. 16th took part in the third phase of COVID-19 vaccine trials underway in the kingdom.
"Today I was privileged to stand together with our vaccine volunteers, each one of them determined to play their part in working to protect others, not just at home in our kingdom, but right across the globe" and "this global crisis requires a global response," the Crown Prince, said.Apart from the Crowne Prince, many other high-level officials of Bahrain also volunteered in the clinical trial and received the vaccination.
Egyptian Health Minister: For the common cause of mankind
On Sept. 28th, Egyptian Health Minister Hala Zayed received the vaccination at the clinical trial site. She said that the public should actively take part in this trial so as to contribute to the early success in developing the vaccine.
The minister expressed her praise for Sinopharm CNBG's work to fight the virus and conveyed the President's attention for the ongoing trial in Egypt. She hoped to contribute to this common cause of mankind through joint efforts.
UAE and Bahrain approved the vaccine for emergency use
According to the report by the Gulf News on Sept. 15th, the UAE Minister of Health and Prevention Al Owais announced the emergency use for the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Sinopharm CNBG as it proved safe and effective in the phase III clinical trial ongoing in the UAE.
Bahrain also approved the emergency use on Nov.3rd and vaccinated part of the frontline healthcare workers the same day. This is the 2nd country in the Middle East to approve vaccine for emergency use, right after the UAE.
It was reported that the emergency use included healthcare workers, teachers, police and custom officials etc.

Sometimes it is nice to do a basic project, just the very basic tools, no glue, no paint and just create. I was given this Airfix model of an engine for Sinterklaas (Dutch tradition) and I wanted it for teaching my kids how the engine works.
It is an oversimplified engine, with just the very basics of an engine, but since it is see-trough, it does show how the engine works internal.
I think it took about an hour of 3 to put it together, basically without any issues, other than drilling the holes for the scews a little bit bigger, if you don't do that, you ruin the screws and the engine doesn't get together no more. It would've been nice if Airfix added a bit stronger screws.

Key Pro-Life Protections Continue Progress In Legislature
"The purpose of this legislation is to recognize and codify that women and girls
deserve all available facts and information in order to make a careful and fully
informed decision and to provide them the time that is necessary to make that decision."
State Representative Matthew Hill (R-Jonesborough)
Key Pro-Life Protections Continue Progress
This Week In Tennessee Legislature
Long sought provisions to restore informed consent, a 48-hour waiting period, and to require licensure and inspection of abortion facilities passed final committee votes this week. On Tuesday, members of the Senate Judiciary committee approved both the licensure bill (SB 1280) by Senator Joey Hensley and the informed consent and waiting period bill (SB 1222) by Senator Mae Beavers. Both bills were passed by a 7-2 vote of the committee.
On Wednesday, following a nearly 2 hour debate in which operators of 4 Tennessee abortion facilities spoke in opposition, pro-life members of the House Health Committee passed the informed consent and waiting period (HB 0977) sponsored by Rep. Matthew Hill and Rep. Debra Moody.
"..This legislation is specifically a response to the approval by a majority of voters of Amendment 1," said Hill. "Amendment 1 was presented to the voters of Tennessee and to the citizens, and they were told clearly time and time again that if Amendment 1 was adopted that informed consent, 48-hour waiting period, and the inspection of facilities would be what the Legislature brought forth. That's why this legislation specifically deals with two of the three things that were specifically delineated during the campaign of Amendment 1."
Both pro-life bills will now be scheduled for floor votes in the state Senate and state House.

Who is Mirza Sharif Ahmad (1895–1961)? The son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
Mirza Sharif Ahmad was the youngest surviving son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. His younger brother, Mirza Mubarak Ahmad died in 1907. He doesn't appear much in the history of Ahmadiyya, he only appears in the famous Ahmady Company, which was created in 1941, his son was made a Colonel. He never wrote any books in support of Ahmadiyya nor he did ever deliver any speeches. Furthermore, he doesn't appear to have graduated from highschool and attended college either. He doesn't seem to have ever worked a job in his life. He was born in 1895 (see Dard) and died on December 26, 1961. He was the first of the 3 brothers to die after a lifetime together. MGA claimed many revelations about Mirza Sharif Ahmad which seem to indicate that he would be a king or a Khalifa. The editors of Ahmadiyya have made a point to make this connection ever since Mirza Masroor Ahmad was elected, since Mirza Masroor Ahmad's grandfather is Mirza Sharif Ahmad. He died miserably, He was suffering from extreme pain from his joints, he was in extreme pain, for 3 1/2 years he had many attacks of thrombosis, he was admitted in many hospitals, he would get batter for a bit than again feel ill, 2 months before his death he was extremely ill, he had swelling on his ankles and knees, his heart was weak, would feel giddy, many times he fell while he walking and then had bruises, all his body was full of wounds (bruises). Ahmadiyya sources tells us that he was the only son of MGA who was totally like MGA, hence the illnesses.
List of children
They had their first child on March 13, 1911. They had 6 children total, 3 boys and 3 girls.
Son—Mirza Mansoor Ahmad (1911–1997), the father of Mirza Masroor Ahmad (the current Ahmadi Khalifa)
———————————————Granddaughter–Amatul Raoof (1935 to unknown)
———————————————Grandson–Mirza Idrees Ahmad (1936 to 2018)
———————————————Granddaughter—Amatul Qudoos (1940 to unknown)
———————————————Grandson–Mirza Maghfoor Ahmad (1947 to current)
——————————————–Grandson–Mirza Masroor Ahmad the current Khalifa(1950 to current)
-Daughter–Amtul Wadud
-Son–Mirza Zafar Ahmad (July 10, 1913–1985). He married his paternal cousin, Naseera Begum, she was the daughter of Mirza Aziz Ahmad. They had 5 children, Mirza Qamar Ahmad (1946); Amtul Samad Talat Ahmad, Amtul Sami Sabeeha Ahmad and one more.
-Son–Colonel Mirza Daud Ahmad
-Daughter–Amtul Barees
-Daughter–Amatul Wahid Begum–born 1935
He is the father of Mirza Mansoor Ahmad
His full list of children is missing. In fact, his wife is un-named also, his nikkah was announced by the Khalifa on 2 July 1934. Mirza Mansoor Ahmad is the father of the current Khalifa Mirza Masroor Ahmad. Mirza Mansoor Ahmad was married to Nasira Begum, who was the eldest daughter of Mirza Basheer-uddin Mahmud Ahmad. Nasira Begum was born in roughly 1910.
He had a daughter named Amatul Wahid Beghum
She was the wife of Mirza Khursheed Ahmad. She passed away on 10th April 2017. She died at the age of 82. (See Friday Sermon of Mirza Masroor Ahmad, dated, 4-14-2017). She was also the maternal grand-daughter of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan. She was been buried in Bahishti Maqbarah, Rabwah.
TIMELINE OF HIS LIFE
MGA claims that the birth of Mirza Sharif Ahmad was a divine sign and promise
"""As an answer to the nonsense of 'Abdul-Haqq, God Almighty had vouchsafed to me a revelation, which was published in Anwarul-Islam, that He would bless me with a son. So all praise and gratitude be to Allah, that according to the prophecy a son was born to me on Dhi
Qa'adah 27, 1312 AH, May 24, 1895 CE who was named Sharif Ahmad.""" [Last Title Page of Diya'ul-Haqq, Ruhani Khaza'in, vol. 9, p. 323].
At the age of 6, he seems to have completed the Quran
[Amin of Bashir Ahmad, Sharif Ahmad and Mubarakah Begum,
November 27, 1901, al-Hakam, vol. 5, no. 45, December 10, 1901, pp. 3–4]
In 1903, Mirza Sharif Ahmad seems to have gotten plague, but survived
This story is a lie, since MGA talked about it 3-4 years after it happened
"""At a time when Qadian was afflicted with the plague my son Sharif Ahmad fell ill and appeared to be suffering from very high fever like typhoid. He lost consciousness and beat about his arms in that condition. I thought to myself that no one was immortal but if the boy died while plague was raging in Qadian, my enemies would call this fever the plague and would treat the holy revelation that had been vouchsafed to me as false:
Meaning that [Arabic] I shall safeguard from the plague all who dwell in this house.
This caused me indescribable distress. About midnight his condition deteriorated and I feared that it was not ordinary sickness but some other problem. I cannot describe the pain that I experienced from the thought that if, God forbid, the boy dies, the hard-hearted enemies would have much material to cover up the truth. In this condition I made my ablutions and stood up in Prayer and immediately I perceived that I had been put in a state of mind which is a manifest sign for the acceptance of prayer. I call God to witness, in whose hand is my life, that I had just completed about three rak'at when I saw in a vision that the boy had recovered completely. Then the state of vision was over and I saw the boy sitting in full consciousness upon the char-pa'i [cot] and asked for water. I had completed the four rak'at. I gave him water immediately and I put my hand on his body and found that there was no sign of temperature and his restlessness and unconsciousness had completely disappeared. He was completely healthy. I was thus bestowed fresh faith in the acceptance of prayer through witnessing this spectacle of Divine Power. [Haqiqatul-Wahi, pp. 84–85 footnote, Ruhani Khaza'in, vol. 22, pp. 87–88, footnote].
15 November 1906, he marries the daughter of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan
His wife is named Bu Zainab bibi. They announced the nikah in 1906, however, the girl didn't enter the house of Mirza Bashir Ahmad until 1909, the same time his sister, Mubarika Begum left Qadian for Malerkotla. In this video, Ahmadis are telling us details of this marriage (at the 12:56 mark). Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan married into MGA's family almost exclusively. Mirza Sharif Ahmad seems to have married a daughter of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan from his first marriage. His second marriage was to Mirza Sharif Ahmad's sister, Mubarika Begum in 1908.
In 1907, after his brothers tragic death, Mirza Sharif Ahmad also falls sick and on his deathbed
See the 2009, online edition of Tadhkirah, pages 952-955, these revelations are claimed by Ahmadiyya sources as for Mirza Sharif Ahmad, however, in 1907, they weren't. It was the later editors who made this connection.
(1) [Arabic] Allah has granted him life contrary to expectation.
(2) [Arabic] Allah has appointed him as a leader contrary to expectation
(3) [Arabic] Do you not recognise the All-Powerful. (This revelation refers to his mother.)
(4) [Arabic] Your purpose will be achieved.
(5) [Arabic] Allah is the Best Guardian and He is the Most Merciful of all who show mercy.
[Badr, vol. 6, no. 22, May 30, 1907, p. 4 and
al-Hakam, vol. 11, no. 19, May 31 1907, p. 3]
See the 2009, online edition of Tadhkirah, page 911
The Promised Messiah[as] narrated the revelations and a dream received in the last few days:
(1)Translation: [Arabic] Soon I shall honour you in a wonderful manner and Allah has power over everything.
(2) Dream: In my dream I saw Sharif Ahmad, who was wearing a turban and there were two men standing near him. One of them pointing to Sharif Ahmad said:
[Urdu] Here comes the King.
The other one said:
[Urdu] He has yet to be Qadi.
The Promised Messiah[as] said: One meaning of Qadi is an arbitrator. Qadi is he who supports the truth and refutes falsehood.
[Badr, vol. 6, no. 1, 2, January 10, 1907, p. 3 and al-Hakam, vol. 11, no. 1, January 10, 1, 907, p. 1]
He entered service in the British military and was given the rank of captain, his son was made a colonel. He was a liuetenant by 1947.
He is mentioned in the list of 199 Ahmadi officer's that was submitted to the boundary commission. He is listed as a lieutenant at number #111.
Apr 01 – Mirza Sharif Ahmad and Mirza Nasir Ahmad were arrested in Lahore during the riots. They were released on 28 May.
He died in Rabwah and is buried there. He died miserably, He was suffering from extreme pain from his joints, he was in extreme pain, for 3 1/2 years he had many attacks of thrombosis, he was admitted in many hospitals, he would get batter for a bit than again feel ill, 2 months before his death he was extremely ill, he had swelling on his ankles and knees, his heart was weak, would feel giddy, many times he fell while he walking and then had bruises, all his body was full of wounds (bruises). Ahmadiyya sources tells us that he was the only son of MGA who was totally like MGA, hence the illnesses.

The Framework was evaluated, piloted and/or implemented by a group of partner universities. Their contributions both helped to improve the Framework's design and provided guidance for other institutions using it in the future.
Three meetings of the university partners have been held/planned to date (in 2016, 2017 and 2018). They aim to establish a community of dialogue and a forum to discuss ideas for the reform of how universities reward teaching.
A summary document, aimed at university managers, has been produced to provide further information about the Framework and to offer guidance on how it might be implemented within university reward and recognition systems.

Q: Delete maxdate From table without ID I want to Delete a row with the highest date, but the table I am working with doesn't have auto increment ID's instead it has multiple rows with the same ID, but each row has different information.
I want to DELETE the highest date, because that is also the last date that is inserted with that ID so that is why I want to use MAX, otherwise I am deleteing all the rows with that ID.
Right now I am trying (This is my query from my PHP file):
DELETE FROM onderhoudsLog
WHERE systeemContractID = :systeemContractID
AND startDatum = MAX(:startDatum)

The DELETE does not work.

A festive list of 2016 GOOD THINGS.
Ilse, my girlfriend, didn't get sick of me, and having spent our first "fag end of the New Year together" last year, we're spending our first ACTUAL CHRISTMAS TOGETHER this year.
Thanks to a kind introduction, I did my first Black Library Games Workshop audio drama last year and have been back several times. This is literally awesome, and I love it. Four of them are available to download, one of them is on physical CD, and several more are coming next year! Lovely team, always great fun.
And inbetween the two I got to be in Robin of Sherwood: Knights of the Apocalypse, doing lots of little voices.
Battle of Ronaldsway came out, and people liked it, and that gave me an interesting and educational little IOM trip in September I didn't expect.
My charity Doctor Who anthology, A Time Lord For Change, finally came out after a goodly while, people seem to like it, and it's sold well. Had a couple of bits in Celestial Toyroom, including the free online pdf annual, and for We Are Cult.
Loads of great times with Heathcliff Heroics at Hever Castle, particularly Edwardian Butterflies and Knight School. And surviving Storm Katie when sleeping in a tent. That's got to be a good thing.
David and Tatyana who gave me work and friendly support and let me cuddle Maisie.
Stephen Yeo who introduced me to Kent Life and his lovely team.
Room 5064 was a very exciting week in January. It's still on the boil, so while I hoped it'd be done by now, I'm still looking forward to it.
Wrote a play, with a beginning, a middle and an end, which has been read round a table and is still a work in progress. And might have sent a draft off to a famous theatre, just to see what they say really.
New friends – From Hever, Games Workshop, and especially good times with Ayvianna Snow and Ashleigh Loeb, as well as other kind and caring friends who have been around for a while and still haven't got sick of me, or at least have but haven't had the heart to tell me, like Tre Clemister, Carrie Cohen, Silas Hawkins, Liam Hogan, Katy Darby, Francis Charlton and the Hebden massive, Adrian R and Gareth K… Liar's Leaguers, Script Tank, Zoe McAden, Mr DazerLove, and Isle of Man buddies who know who they are. Muscutt. Varnom. Pinkerton. Power. Poyntz. Andrea. Me mam.
Oh, and Ayvianna gets special mention for getting me to stop moaning about the bleakness of the industry and actually get involved with Equity. And now I'm on the most dynamic branch's committee and met Spotlight with the lovely chairman, Malcolm Ward. And it turns out positive change is possible.
And Power of the Daleks was animated – as I drift away from Doctor Who a bit, there are still things about it I can be really enthusiastic about.

Mabeth Hurd Paige, ca. 1925.
In 1922, Mabeth Hurd Paige became one of the first four women to be elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. Before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, she was a public speaker and an advocate for women's suffrage and helped found the Minnesota branch of the League of Women Voters. Paige also studied both art and law, and was admitted to the bar. She was involved in charity and volunteer work that she continued until her death in 1961.
Mabeth Hurd Paige was born in 1870 in Newburyport, Massachusetts. She lived there through high school and attended Newburyport schools. She continued her education at the University of Nebraska for a year before deciding to pursue an education in art, after which she attended the Normal Art School in Boston as well as the Académie Julian in Paris. Hurd had a brief career in art and teaching before she married James Paige, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, in 1895.
Paige began her studies at the University of Minnesota's College of Law. After receiving her degree, she was accepted to the bar, but she never practiced law. She and her husband had one child together: a daughter, named Elizabeth, born in 1902.
Paige was an active member of the Minneapolis community in charity and religious causes. She served as a member of the Budget Committee of the Minneapolis Council of Social Agencies, which distributed money to various charities in the area. She was also the president of the Woman's Christian Association, which provided assistance to single working women in the city.
At the same time, Paige participated in suffrage work in Minneapolis. She was a frequent speaker at meetings and conventions on suffrage issues both within Minnesota and across the United States. She played an instrumental role in the creation of the Minnesota branch of the League of Women Voters and worked as the chairwoman of the Fifth Ward in Minneapolis. At the same time, she traveled around the country and helped other states, such as Montana, establish their own branches.
On January 21, 1922, Paige filed as a candidate and announced her intention to run for the Minnesota House of Representatives. Although she admitted that she was reluctant to run, she explained that she sought office because she believed that women should participate more in politics after winning the right to vote. In a statement outlining her campaign, Paige said, "I have no special program, but I am as much interested in good general laws as in welfare legislation, to which I have given some special attention." Paige identified as a Republican.
Paige's campaign consisted of speaking engagements and ads printed in newspapers. She spoke before organizations such as the Republican Women's Club and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She experienced early success, including in the June primaries. 1922 proved to be a busy year for Paige, as she also attended the Pan-American Conference of Women in Baltimore.
Paige won the election for representative of Minnesota's thirtieth district on November 7, 1922. She was one of the four women elected to the House of Representatives, the other three being Myrtle Agnes Cain, Sue Metzger Dickey Hough, and Hannah Jensen Kempfer. Her term started on January 2, 1923.
During her twenty-two years as a representative, Paige consistently served on the civil administration, public welfare, education, university and state schools, and public domain committees. She supported bills that aimed to limit predatory lending practices, protect natural resources, improve working conditions, and improve care provided by hospitals.
Paige retired from the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1944. At the time of her retirement, she expressed dismay that so few women had been elected to public office. After retirement, she returned to charity work. She died in 1961.
Mabeth Paige Hall, a housing club for single women professionals (later known as Paige Hall Apartments), was built in the 1960s at 727 Fifth Avenue South and named in honor of her work for women's housing. During her lifetime, Paige was also honored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce as one of the "Hundred Living Great Minnesotans."

Mmmm.. what is that smell??
I like it Kimbo how you make very specific and detailed wildish claims but never seem to be able to link a source or provide a screenshot.
Some 'facts' the American President would he proud of by the looks of it.
Whatever your politics, Jimbo exudes a salty sea dog knowing that I wouldn't mind reading more of, perhaps in a more considered, holistic format.

My Application gets the foo node (org.w3c.dom.Node):
NodeList nodeList = (NodeList) xpath.evaluate("//bar", fooNode, XPathConstants.NODESET);

Returns all bar nodes of the whole document, not from the fooNode even though i passed the node and not the whole document.

A:
Returns all bar nodes of the whole document, not from the fooNode even
  though i passed the node and not the whole document.

That's the expected behavior for an absolute location path as //bar. Use a relative location path as .//bar or descendant-or-self::bar or descendant::bar

A: I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but
//foo/descendant-or-self::bar

selects the 3 </bar>s inside <foo>.

US bill that restricts loans to Turkey clears Senate committee
July 27 2018 09:12:00
A United States bill that would restrict loans from international financial institutions to Turkey until it frees arrested U.S. citizens including American pastor Andrew Brunson cleared a Senate committee on July 26, Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed the legislation, dubbed the "Turkey International Financial Institutions Act," which was introduced by Senators Thom Tillis, Jeanne Shaheen, James Lankford and Bill Nelson last week.
"We never wanted this bill to be necessary, but we warned the Turkish government that there would be consequences if it did not cease its unjust detention and harassment of U.S. citizens and locally employed embassy staff," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker said in a statement.
Brunson, a Christian pastor from North Carolina who has lived in Turkey for more than two decades, was indicted on charges of having links with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), which Ankara blames for the failed coup in 2016. He was transferred to house arrest on July 25.
The agency reported that the bill is now expected to pass in the Senate and be reconciled with the version passed by the House of Representatives. A compromise measure must then be passed by both chambers and signed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The bill directs the U.S. executive of the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to oppose future loans, except those for humanitarian purposes, to Turkey by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the EBRD until the U.S. administration certifies to Congress that Turkey is "no longer arbitrarily detaining or denying freedom of movement to United States citizens or locally employed staff members of the U.S. mission to Turkey."t loans from international financial institutions to Turkey until it frees arrested U.S. citizens including American pastor Andrew Brunson cleared a Senate committee July 26, Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

Personal Trainers! Want To Help More People And Increase Your Hourly Rate?
Working out with a partner increases adherence. This is due to the variety, energy and accountability that comes from training with another person. Put simply there are activities that can be done when a partner is present that cannot be done when they are not.
A partner will encourage, spot and participate in a range of exercises that makes working out fun and enjoyable in ways that training on your own cannot match.
Variety – many of the exercises included in this workshop are not commonly done and therefore provided a positive overload stimulus both mentally and physically.
Teamwork – being physically involved in the exercises gives a sense of teamwork in that you and your clients are working together to achieve a common goal. Clients love it when their trainer gets involved in the session!
Motivation and support - getting encouragement and praise from your partner is one of the best motivators. It will help clients remain consistent in their training efforts.
Intensity - because the trainer is able to spot exercises it will allow clients to achieve a level of intensity that is not possible when training alone. In addition, having the trainer participate in the workout usually brings out the competitive juices in the clients which drives sessions to new levels in terms of intensity. With the increase in intensity comes quicker results.
Safety - because you are actively participating in the same exercise as the client you are able to spot technique issues immediately and you can correct. This means that partner sessions offer more safety than working out alone.
Point of difference – when clients who do not have a personal trainer of their own see what goes on in your partner activity sessions, i.e. activities that are different and fun, a percentage of these "watchers" will want to become paying clients. This means more money in your pocket!

Gabby Young & Other Animals
The Band Called Out For More
Find out more about Gabby Young & Other Animals here
Posted: Thu Jun 21 19:19:23 2012 by Lucy Sanderson
Can you remember the last time you experienced something that made you say, 'wow'? There was a toothpaste advert a few years ago that claimed it's minty fresh feeling could, but we're not sure if that really counts. Instead, give Gabby Young and Other Animals a go. They're much more enjoyable and worthy of that 'wow'. Latest record The Band Called Out For More is absolutely gorgeous- full of colour, rich sensations and the most intoxicating performances. The "world's finest purveyors of circus swing" have truly excelled themselves this time.
One really has to resist the temptation to draw parallels to Florence, of the and-the-machine fame, mainly on account of the flaming red hair, eccentric taste and charismatic vocal. Poor Gabby must get sick of it. But taking into account the retro vibe in her smoothly feminine vocal, there is much more similarity to the ballsy Imelda May than Ms Welch much of the time. The blend of this striking front woman with the intriguing instrumentals and strong creative identity makes this record exceptionally engaging. Even when the band isn't going flat out with toe-tapping swing (In Your Head), they move effortlessly through their creation of mood, from casting a spell of mysterious drama (The Band Called Out For More), to being a beautiful, simple whisper of a love song (The Male Version Of Me).
Gabby Young and Other Animals embrace so much within these thirteen tracks. While the presence of brass, piano and accordion amongst other striking sounds of her band may set a certain vibe, they don't allow it to restrict them. They are also influenced by operatic touches, classic icons like Edith Piaf, music hall dances, sultry burlesque, smoky jazz clubs and all things avant-garde. Anyone who can curveball a mariachi lover's serenade (Horatio) out of the blue has to be pretty switched on... and pretty crazy. And that's exactly why we like them. It's a spellbinding blend that sets them both in the distant nostalgic past as well as their own parallel universe in the future. Their inventiveness and creativity makes this that 'wow' experience we've always been looking for, and we can guarantee you won't have heard anything quite like them before.

There are many biological processes which contribute to a hangover. Some of these influence the severity of a hangover more than others. Furthermore, different processes contribute to different hangover symptoms. There is no single process which causes every hangover symptom.
If you were to ask someone "What causes a hangover?", chances are you would get different answers from different people. The most common answer you would hear is "Dehydration". But the notion that dehydration is the main cause of a hangover is completely false. Dehydration only contributes to a couple of the symptoms listed above.
All the biological processes which contribute to hangover symptoms.
Exactly what is happening in your body as a result of each biological process.
Which specific hangover symptoms each cause exacerbates.
How severely each process exacerbates each symptom.
If there are any habits or factors which put you at risk for each cause.
How to lower hangover symptoms related to each cause.
After you consume alcohol it is metabolized by your liver. You liver metabolizes alcohol into a substance called acetaldehyde. Eventually, the acetaldehyde is metabolized into acetic acid and then into carbon dioxide/water at which point it is completely expelled through your breath and urine.
Research shows that acetaldehyde is up to 30 times more toxic than alcohol.  Many scientists believe acetaldehyde is the main cause of hangovers. Symptoms associated with acetaldehyde poisoning include nausea, vomiting, headaches, and sensitivity to light.
For those who have had a hangover which made the sunlight blinding, acetaldehyde poisoning is the cause. Not only did it cause the sensitivity to light, but it greatly contributed to any headache or nausea felt that morning.
Evidence of how poisonous acetaldehyde is can be seen by examine a drug called Antabuse (Disulfiram). Antabuse was designed to treat alcoholism. It prevents your liver from breaking down acetaldehyde. Those who took Antabuse had levels of acetaldehyde 5-10 times higher than those who didn't after consuming the exact same amount of alcohol. However, those who took the Antabuse quickly experienced crippling headaches, mental confusion, nausea, vomiting, and flushing of the skin.
How severely does acetaldehyde poisoning contribute to hangover symptoms?
If a main cause of hangovers were to be named, it would be acetaldehyde. This toxin greatly contributes to headaches, nausea, brain fog, and is the only cause of light sensitivity. It you experience light sensitivity along with an intense headache and extreme nausea, acetaldehyde is definitely at fault.
How can I lower hangover symptoms related to Acetaldehyde build-up?
In order to prevent hangover symptoms related to acetaldehyde build-up you have to flush the acetaldehyde out of your system as quickly as possible. One way to do this is by enhancing the enzyme responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde in your liver. This enzyme is called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH).
One supplement known to enhance ALDH activity is Dihydromyricetin (DHM). Research shows DHM is able to not only promote ALDH activity but also ADH activity.  This unique benefit allows DHM to help your body metabolize not only acetaldehyde by also alcohol itself.
Gastritis is defined as the inflammation of stomach lining. It is most commonly caused by alcohol consumption. Consuming even small amount of alcohol causes your stomach to produce excess amounts of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid). Having too much stomach acid irritates and inflames your stomach. This leads to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools.
Gastritis will also cause vomiting at night if too much alcohol is consumed. If levels of hydrochloric acid in your stomach rise too high, a message is sent to your brain telling it you are being poisoned. In order to defend from the poison, your body makes you vomit in an attempt to flush itself of the toxins in your stomach.
How severely does gastritis contribute to hangover symptoms?
Behind acetaldehyde build-up, stomach inflammation/irritation is the leading cause of hangover nausea. Of course, this varies based on a person's genetic make-up. Some people's stomachs are more resilient than others, and may produce different amounts of stomach acid as a result of alcohol consumption. Hangover symptoms caused by stomach irritation may occur after only a small amount of drinks. For those who don't experience hangover nausea, your stomach is likely somewhat resilient to the effects alcohol has on it.
How can I lower hangover symptoms related to Gastritis?
First and foremost, make sure you have eaten a large meal before you start drinking. The food will absorb alcohol and lessen the burden it places on your stomach.
Additionally, taking antacids such as Tums or Pepto Bismol can reduce the acidity of your stomach and lessen irritation/inflammation. These over-the-counter supplements are readily available online and at your local drug store.
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it causes your body to produce additional amounts of urine. Every time you drink a beer, you are technically hydrating yourself for a small amount of time. Beer is mostly water after all. However, alcohol causes you to produce levels of urine beyond what it would normally produce. This causes your body to lose not only water the beer provided you, but water previously consumed throughout the day.
Think of your body as a large tank of water. The more water in your tank, the more hydrated you are. Every time you drink a beer you pour 12 ounces of water into that tank. But shortly after you pour 12 ounces of water into it, you pour 14 ounces out. Drinking any type of alcohol provides your body with a net loss of water.
How much extra water does alcohol cause you to lose?
A single "drink" (12 oz 4.3% beer or 1.5oz 35% liquor) causes you to lose approximately 100ml of urine. To put this in terms which are easy to understand, 100ml converts to 3.3 ounces of liquid. In other words, by drinking just 3.5 beers you lose 12 ounces of urine, enough to fill a beer can.
Those who drink heavily for long periods of time, especially when not rehydrating themselves, can experience headaches, thirst, and fatigue as a result of dehydration. Having 10 alcoholic drinks in one night is enough to cause approximately two 16.9oz water bottles of extra urine production.
How Severely Does Dehydration Contribute to These Symptoms?
This depends almost entirely on how hydrated you are when you began to drink, and if you hydrated yourself throughout the night. If you drink 10 alcoholic beverages during a day and drink no water during that time, chances are you will experience a headache as a result of dehydration. Add in acetaldehyde build-up and the headache can be extremely brutal.
On the other hand, if you drink 10 alcoholic drinks throughout the night, are properly hydrated when you start drinking, and have 2-3 bottled waters while drinking, dehydration will not likely exacerbate or cause any hangover symptoms. The best way to determine if you are dehydrated is by how thirsty you, how dry your mouth is, and the color of your urine.
If you use the bathroom in the morning, excrete a low amount of urine, and your urine is dark yellow, you are dehydrated. This dehydration will likely exacerbate any hangover headaches one experiences.
How can I lower hangover symptoms related to Dehydration?
By ensuring you are properly hydrated before and during a night of drinking dehydration can easily be avoided. Simply drink 1-2 (16.9oz) bottles before you begin to drink and an additional bottle of water every 3 drinks. If you anticipate you will be hot or sweating, drink additional water.
Electrolytes are various compounds which are used by your body to regulate many different functions. They are vital for your body's ability to maintain homeostasis. They help regulate bodily fluid balance, neurological function, oxygen delivery, myocardial function, and acid-base balance. Your cells also use electrolytes to sustain electrical voltages between many cell membranes. Not having enough or having too many electrolytes can disrupt your body's homeostasis and cause problems. Some commonly known electrolytes which are lost as a result of alcohol consumption include sodium, potassium, and calcium.
Alcohol causes you to lose electrolytes similar to the way it dehydrates you. Every time you urinate, your body loses electrolytes. Furthermore, you aren't putting electrolytes in your body when you consume alcohol. All the urine you expel from drinking causes you to lose electrolytes, not just the extra urine.
The electrolytes you lose while drinking can't be recuperated by drinking water alone. You must recuperate them by other means such as sports drinks like Gatorade or electrolyte supplements. This means even those who drink water throughout the night and stay properly hydrated may suffer an electrolyte imbalance from excessive drinking.
A mild to moderate electrolyte imbalance can cause headaches, nausea, and cramping. In fact, many endurance athletes who lose electrolytes through sweat take electrolyte supplements to prevent these symptoms.
How Severely Does Electrolyte Imbalance Contribute to These Symptoms?
This depends on a person's genetics, what type of alcohol they are drinking, and how much alcohol is consumed in a night. People who drink large amounts of beer, wine, or mixed drinks as opposed to straight liquor are most at risk for suffering an electrolyte imbalance. Even though "extra" urine produced by all drinkers is the same, those who drink straight liquor consume less liquid and urinate less. Those who drink beer all night make more runs to the bathroom and expel more electrolytes.
Electrolytes are also lost through sweat. People drinking in the heat or dancing at clubs are at an increased risk for electrolyte loss and dehydration.
How can I lower hangover symptoms related to Loss of Electrolytes?
Simply make sure you are replenishing your electrolytes throughout the night while drinking. This can be done by drinking sports drinks such as Gatorade instead of water or by taking electrolyte supplements. When searching for a source of electrolytes, be sure it contains sodium, potassium, and calcium.
Within minutes of alcohol hitting your stomach it enters your blood stream and begins to affect your brain. Alcohol affects two different neurotransmitters in your brain; GABA and glutamate. Neurotransmitters are chemicals your brain cells use to send messages to each other. They heavily influence just not your emotions and thought processes, but also your movement and behavior.
In your brain, alcohol binds to your GABA receptors, and amplifies the message your brain cells receive from the GABA neurotransmitter. GABA is classified as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Inhibitory neurotransmitters sedate you. As alcohol amplifies the message GABA is sending to your brain your heart rate slows, you feel relaxed, and your inhibitions are reduced. When alcohol is consumed to excess, GABA's message is boosted to the point words begin to slur, motor control is impaired, and disorientation occurs. In extreme cases of alcohol overdose, breathing ceases completely, the heart stops, and coma or death occur.
Glutamine is the other neurotransmitter alcohol affects. Glutamine is an exhibitory neurotransmitter. When your brain receives a stronger message from Glutamine, brain activity, heart rate, and energy levels increase. Alcohol effects Glutamine opposite the way it affects GABA. Alcohol dampens the message your brain receives from Glutamine. This enhances alcohol's sedative properties.
When you stop drinking two things happen. First, your brain believes your GABA neurotransmitters are sending out stronger signals. This causes your brain to release less GABA and you get less of an effect from GABA than you normally would. Second, your brain believes Glutamine is sending out weaker signals. This causes it to kick into overdrive and produce more Glutamine than you actually need.
Not only does this disrupt sleep at night, but it can cause restlessness, feelings of depression, and anxiety. For those who find themselves waking up after only 5 or 6 hours of sleep unable to go back to bed, the rebound effect on GABA and Glutamine neurotransmitters is the cause.
How Severely Does Minor Alcohol Withdrawal Contribute to These Symptoms?
How severely minor alcohol withdrawal effects a person depends heavily on their genetic make-up, the amount they drank at night, and how often they drink. Generally, the only symptoms people experience from minor alcohol withdrawal is early awakenings and trouble falling back asleep and brain fog. For some people, anxiety and restlessness occur.
How can I lower hangover symptoms related to minor alcohol withdrawal?
In order to lessen hangover symptoms related to GABA and Glutamine rebound, you need to normalize your body's level of these neurotransmitters as quickly as possible. This can be done by lessening alcohol's effect on one or both of these neurotransmitters while drinking, or right after drinking.
A compilation of 25 different studies has shown that alcohol reduces sleep quality.  In other words, getting 8 hours of sleep after a night of drinking is less rejuvenating than getting 8 hours of sleep while sober.
When someone consumed alcohol before falling asleep, it reduces the amount of time spent in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. REM sleep is believed to be responsible for consolidating short term memories into long term memories. Being deprived of REM sleep at night has been linked to decreases in concentration, memory, and motor skills.
How severely does reduced sleep quality cause/exacerbate hangover symptoms?
A reduction in sleep quality isn't going to be the main cause of the worst hangover symptoms out there. It won't give you a headache or make you sick to your stomach. It will just leave you feeling groggy and tired.
If you are the type to experience early awakenings due to alcohol consumption followed by trouble sleeping the consequences are more severe. Even though your hangover symptoms won't be amplified, it can take much longer to recover from them without a good night's sleep. This can cause headaches and nausea to persist well into the day when 3 more hours of sleep would have been able to cure it much faster.
How can I lessen hangover symptoms caused by reduced sleep quality?
The best way is to simply sleep longer than normal. Make sure you can get 9 or 10 hours of sleep instead of 8. If you keep waking up, let yourself fall back asleep. The only way to cure a lack of sleep is to get more sleep.
The following chart lists each symptom of a hangover and details the causes most responsible.
Dihydromyricetin can help address every cause of a hangover except for dehydration. Give it a try risk free and you'll never have to suffer from a hangover again.

Q: uninitialized constant Request (NameError) I get this error: /LiveToChallenge/config/initializers/gibbon.rb:1:in '<top (required)>': uninitialized constant Gibbon::Request (NameError) when I try to start the server rails server.
app/config/initializers/gibbon.rb
require 'gibbon'
Gibbon::Request.api_key = "24e4a2233cd34debb76ed083dc3f8b5379-us8"
Gibbon::Request.timeout = 15

I followed gibbon gem instructions, which seemed simple enough. Maybe I'm missing something besides just gem install gibbon and adding api_key to initializer?
The gem is installed as gibbon (2.2.2, 2.2.1, 1.2.1)
And as added measure I put gem gibbon in the gemfile and ran bundle install
This problem is part of a larger problem I've been working on solving.

A: I experienced same issue with gibbon 2.0 version as it has updated some methods for initializations then i tried a previous version & it worked but first You should try it this way :
gibbon = Gibbon::Request.new(api_key: "MailChimp_API_Key")
gibbon.timeout = 10

If no luck with this in app/config/initializers/gibbon.rb then you can try to do this direct in the controller just before using gibbon to retrieve or add list stuff for testing.

A: You should add the gem to the rails Gemfile. Then rails will take care of the require 'gibbon' for you.
Edit: gem install gibbon will just install the gem on your system. Rails won't know that it is needed unless you add it to the Gemfile.

The U.S. District Court in Portland, Ore. will hear arguments on March 9 concerning Earthjustice's motion for injunction seeking short-term measures to improve salmon survival rates. The requested actions will better provide safe passage for juvenile salmon navigating the heavily dammed Columbia River Basin during the spring migration season, and help ensure a level playing field as federal dam operators consider the possibility of dam removal on the lower Snake River.
Plaintiffs seek an increase in water releases over spillways at the four lower Snake River and four lower Columbia River dams, to improve survival rates for endangered juvenile salmon bound for the ocean. They also request a moratorium on tens of millions in capital spending on projects that would extend the life of dams on the lower Snake River that may soon be retired. Federal agencies are currently in the process of conducting a NEPA/EIS Review in the wake of a May 2016 ruling that rejected a previous salmon protection plan as illegal under NEPA and the Endangered Species Act. Agencies must consider lower Snake River dam removal as an alternative under that analysis.
Earthjustice, together with the State of Oregon and with support from the Nez Perce Tribe, is representing a host of fishing groups and conservation organizations including the National Wildlife Federation, Save Our Wild Salmon, Pacific Coast Federation of Fisheries Associations, Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association, Idaho Rivers United, and more.

A: Wait, are you converting a python dict into json? In that case use json.dumps. The args as you have defined on first line is in fact a dict.
args = {'series': 'exr|usd|gbp', 'K': 2, 'M': 2, 'tau': 1}
print args.__class__
Out: dict
args = json.dumps(args)
print args
Out: '{"series": "exr|usd|gbp", "K": 2, "M": 2, "tau": 1}'

In json parsable string as expected.

Another major US retailer may have suffered a massive data breach of credit card information. This time, it's Home Depot.
According to reports, the breach may have begun as early as Spring 2014. Banks initially reported that a large batch of credit card information went on sale Tuesday morning on a black market site. Krebs on Security reported that the potential Home Depot breach had similar traits to the groups that carried out attacks on Target and P.F. Chang's, previously. If, in fact, this breach goes back to Spring 2014, the fallout could be even greater than those cases.
In this environment, every company must consider its risk of a data breach – whether you deal with credit cards, gift cards, or simply customer sign-up lists. McDonald Hopkins LLC's Data Privacy and Cybersecurity group can assist with policy creation, audits, training, and responses to breaches, among other services.
