Apple Long-Rumored Mixed Reality Headset Could Debut This Spring
Gurman claims that the entire iPhone 15 line will include Apple's new Dynamic Island feature and USB-C charging. New titanium frames and haptic volume buttons will also be included in the Pro models.
Apple Long-Rumored Mixed Reality Headset Could Debut This Spring.
Apple's long-rumored augmented and virtual reality headset is nearly finished after years of development. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the device will be announced this spring, ahead of Apple's annual WWDC conference in June.

Apple reportedly shared the headset with a handful of high-profile software developers, giving them a first look at its new "xrOS" software, indicating that a launch is finally on the horizon. Gurman expects Apple to release "Reality Pro" in the fall after announcing it in the spring.
The final sprint to get the headset out the door will impact the rest of Apple's 2023 product lineup. On the software front, the next version of the company's iOS operating system is likely to ship with "fewer major changes than originally planned" due to Apple reassigning software engineers to the xrOS team.
"The same goes for macOS 14," Gurman adds. Apple's hardware plans are even less thrilling. The company has no updates of "of note" planned for its iPad, Apple Watch and audio lines.
Gurman says new iPad Pro models with OLED displays are on the way, but those likely won't arrive until 2024. He warns the upcoming Apple Silicon MacPro will be "another disappointment."
The forthcoming desktop will reportedly feature the same design as its 2019 predecessor, and you won't be able to upgrade the computer's RAM on your own due to the architecture of Apple's M-series chipsets.

If you happened by the Relay for Life table last month in between services, you may have noticed some odd pictures of a woman with a blue head.
Well, that would be me. If you're curious as to why someone would paint their head blue, I'll try to explain.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on January 12, 2007 at the age of 41. I found the lump myself on Christmas day. God was already preparing me the previous November when I chose a new health insurance plan that didn't require referrals to specialists or approvals for tests. This allowed me to get into the best doctors right away.
When I met my surgeon January 19th, she told me "We're going to cure you" and I believed her. I knew the road would be rough. Chemotherapy is no picnic. But I knew I would be ok in the end. Who I would be in the end, I didn't know. Life's events had already made me a strong woman, like steel. Apparently, God had titanium in mind.
I've always liked to entertain and make people laugh. I do community theatre in my spare time when I'm not working as an Avionics engineer at Boeing. As I progressed through my chemo treatments, many tests and surgeries, I needed to find humor and fun wherever I could.
God blessed me with a sense of humor and my doctor told me that is how I deal with things. I needed to make myself laugh to relieve the "little bit of stress" I was under.

To study any pest species from the point of view of management aspect, it is necessary to gain access on complete knowledge about its habit and habitats. Nesting habit of termites is an important aspect when studying about structure damaging termites. According to Abe, trends of termite nesting was divided into six different patterns based on feeding habit and nesting pattern viz.
Drywood termites (mainly Kalotermitidae),
Dampwood termites (Archotermopsidae, and some species of Rhinotermitidae),
Intermediate termites (Mastotermitidae, most of Rhinotermitidae and some species of Kalotermitidae and Termitidae),
Arboreal termites (many species of Termitidae),
Subterranean termites (Hodotermitidae, some species of Rhinotermitidae, Serritermitidae, and many species of Termitidae) and
Humus feeding termites (a few species of Termitidae).Group-I contained lower termites feeding on dead wood and grass;
Dry-wood termites build nests on dry and hard wood, while damp-wood termites feed exclusively on the wet, decaying wood.Donovan and his co-workers have depicted a fabulous framework of termite feeding group classification based on gut content analysis. Termites were grouped into four feeding groups, amongst which,
Group-II contained Termitidae with an array of feeding pattern on dead wood, grass, leaf-litter and micro-epiphytes [within Group-II, sub-group II-F consisted termites which feed on grass, dead wood and leaf litter with the help of mandatory fungal mutualism (Termitomyces) in the fungal garden].
Group-III included Termitidae devouring on the organic rich upper soil layer.
Group-IV included true soil feeders consuming on mineral soil. This feeding habit-based classification of termites could help largely to distinguish the bio-ecology of a species belonging to concerned feeding type, which in turn could be useful for formulate appropriate management strategy.
Fungal spores (white nodules) are of Termitomyces species - comb excavated from a mound in IARI Farm
Fungal comb - Group II-F termites are most prevalent in Asia & Africa - culprit of the damages to agricultural crops, notably absent in America

"india Is Well Positioned To Become One Of The Leaders In Evs In The World"
Mr Mahesh Babu, CEO, Mahindra Electric
Mahindra is already a force to reckon with in the automobile industry. Keeping pace with the changing trends, the company is making strong headway in the electric vehicle segment. Mr Mahesh Babu, CEO, Mahindra Electric shares his perspective on the current standing and future plans of the company in an exclusive interaction with IBEF. Edited excerpts:
What has the Indian consumer's reaction to Mahindra Electric's vehicles been like? What lessons has the company learned?
Mahindra entered the electric vehicle (EV) space in India 7 years ago, and since then our journey has been a very exciting one. We have used the technical expertise of Mahindra Electric, with the deep customer insight of Mahindra and Mahindra, to launch products which suit the Indian market conditions.
Over the years, our vehicles have driven millions of kilometres, the data from which we have used to improve the technology further. In a sense, this is a collective learning along with our customers—the pioneers of EVs in India. For example, we realised that 'range anxiety' is something that customers struggle with. To address this concern, our upcoming strategy, EV 2.0, consists of products with 200-350 km range. Charging infrastructure is another area of concern, and while conversations have begun to establish the infrastructure, we ensure that all our products are easily chargeable at home through any regular 16 amp socket easily available. Our customers truly have been a very strong pillar of support and have motivated us to keep improving.
Except retail customers, our commercial and fleet partners have also played an important role in our journey so far. Working with them has helped us prove the business case of choosing EVs for fleet and logistics segment. And now, we are happy to see that EV adoption is steadily increasing across the various segments that we currently offer products in.
Based our learning through the years, we announced our detailed future roadmap: EV 2.0. This strategy has been crafted to increase adoption of EVs in India exponentially.
Do you think competition in the e-vehicle sector will drive it forward?
The ecosystem that is required to bring about a complete transformation of the mobility scenario of India needs multiple stakeholders working together. This includes the Government, customers, organisations to set up charging infrastructure, and of course more OEMs joining hands. We are the pioneers in the space and are now looking forward to working with these stakeholders and welcoming other players in the industry. We believe that our experience in the industry and in promoting adoption of EV technology for the Indian market will help us lead the movement. The future is electric and more hands working towards this future will only bring the nation closer to achieving its vision.
In terms of infrastructure, is India heading in the right direction to accommodate electric vehicles?
One of the biggest gaps in the EV ecosystem of the country is in the charging infrastructure; and for EVs to be adopted nationwide, an extensive and reliable charging network is indispensable. The government has offered incentives under the FAME [Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles] scheme for charging infrastructure development, but there is a long way to go on that front.
We are very happy that preliminary discussions on setting up charging standards for the country have begun. At present, these include plans for both charging stations as well as battery swapping facility (specifically for three wheelers and buses). Keeping this progress in mind, we are also preparing our products to be compatible with suitable charging options. We are also actively participating in discussions and looking forward to the government rolling out the Bharat Charging Standards for high and low voltage systems, soon. This announcement will be followed by an influx of industry players to develop the EV charging network in India. The recent stories around NTPC, Tata Power and other players going live with charging infrastructure pilots seem very promising.
Mahindra Racing is doing quite well in the Formula-E championship. How important is the racing series for Mahindra Electric?
Mahindra Electric and Mahindra Racing teams work closely with each other as the opportunities for cross-learning as well as implementation are definitely plenty. The teams work towards improving the technology for the 'race' and bring the right technologies from there to the 'road'.
But apart from the technology, the biggest contribution that Mahindra's Formula-E team is making is in the space of consumer education. Its exceptional performance in the recent races has proven that EVs are high performance vehicles and we have the know-how to bring that performance to the roads.
We are all very proud of our team's performance and hope that the winning streak continues in our favour!
What about electric 2-wheelers, especially considering how large and important that market is in India?
The current sales figure of electric two-wheelers in India is way more than four wheelers. This indicates that the segment will not be completely ignored, and the industry is definitely looking at it as a segment with great potential. However, for us at Mahindra Electric, our focus will remain on four-wheelers, and other mass mobility products like electric three-wheelers and buses.
As the global automotive industry switches from internal combustion engines to batteries, how is India taking advantage of this upheaval to become a major player?
We are just at the brink of exponential growth in the EV segment, and India is well positioned to become one of the leaders in EVs in the world. The Government is very positive about going electric and is promoting the industry with multiple positive policy decisions. In addition to this, there is also a noticeable increase in renewable energy sources, especially solar power. Together, EVs and solar energy hold the capacity of propelling a truly clean mobility scenario.
This combination of resources will help us develop products and solutions which are differentiated and address market requirements that aren't looked after by high-cost EVs currently available in other markets.
As a country, we also have the unique combination of weather and terrain conditions, a young and talented work force much larger than any other country in the world, with many thousands of engineers qualifying from our institutes every day; as well as a value-conscious population. The workforce in India is also especially skilled in software development, which is a big advantage to leverage for EVs. Combining these factors with robust policy initiatives under 'Make in India' and Industry 4.0, India can become a global hub for R&D and manufacturing of EVs.
What can we expect from Mahindra Electric in the near future?
Having recently announced our next phase of EV development, EV 2.0 based on three broad pillars of Technology, New Products, and Mobility Solutions, we will be looking at the mass-market segment with electric products in the bus and 3-wheeler space. Apart from that, we will also be looking at high-end products that will be high-performance vehicles for the luxury segment.
While we are already available in Nepal and Sri Lanka, India will remain our primary focus. We believe there is a lot of be done in the country presently and we have only just started.

Q: Django queryset exclude regex I have a command that filter through requests, and I need to extract some of them following two rules.
It should
include '^https?:\/\/[^.]*\.?site\.co([^?]*[?]).*utm_.*$'
or
exclude '^https?:\/\/[^.]*\.?site\.([^\/]+\/)*'

So, working out a possible SQL representation, I came up with:
exclude (
   matching '^https?:\/\/[^.]*\.?site\.([^\/]+\/)*'
   and
   not matching '^https?:\/\/[^.]*\.?site\.co([^?]*[?]).*utm_.*$'
)

Which translate in django to:
.exclude(
   Q(referer__iregex=r'^https?:\/\/[^.]*\.?site\.co([^?]*[?]).*utm_.*$') &
   Q(referer__not_iregex=r'^https?://[^.]*\.?site\.[^/]+/?[\?]*$'))

But unfortunately, the __not_iregex lookup doesn't exists. What could be a workaround this?

A: You could in fact use filter for the part which you don't want to exclude:
queryset
    .filter(referer__iregex=r'^https?://[^.]*\.?site\.[^/]+/?[\?]*$')
    .exclude(referer__iregex=r'^https?:\/\/[^.]*\.?site\.([^\/]+\/)*')

So here your matching goes into exclude and not matching goes into filter.
Or you could use the ~Q if you really want to imitate what you have in the SQL representation:
.exclude(
   Q(referer__iregex=r'^https?:\/\/[^.]*\.?site\.([^\/]+\/)*') &
   ~Q(referer__iregex=r'^https?://[^.]*\.?site\.[^/]+/?[\?]*$'))
   # notice use of ~ here

Rapper Common's father, Lonnie Lynn, 71
Staff Report— September 25, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lonnie Lynn, known to hip-hop fans for his soulful spoken-word poems on rapper son Common's albums, has died.
Lynn died at age 71 on Sept. 12, Common said. He gave no further details.
Lynn was a star high school basketball player in Chicago and played in the 1969-1970 season in the American Basketball Association. He struggled with drug addiction and with being a father to six children, topics he addressed in poignant, sometimes regretful poems that concluded many of Common's albums.
"He was truly a natural poet and master of words. His personality and soul shined through his work," Common, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr., said in a Sept. 15 interview. "The way he said things made me look at life and the world in a new way, in a different way. They always sparked a thought in my head. His words would always make me strive to achieve higher, to write better, to be more truthful with my words."
Common is also an actor, appearing in films including Terminator: Salvation and LUV and as a regular on the AMC series Hell on Wheels.
Lynn, known as "Pops" on Common's albums, recorded his last poem for the rapper's 2011 release, The Dreamer/The Believer.
"For those of us who come from less than enviable circumstances, dreams —good dreams, sweet dreams — dreams come true. Truthful dreams, truthful dreams become life," he intoned in the song, called Pops Belief.
"Live the life you believe. The American dream, the black American dream, the universal dream. For the sake of the unwritten laws of humanity, I believe in God. I believe in my ancestors, I believe in my offsprings … I believe in the truth, truth. See you next lifetime."

"A Genuine 'TV' Brand Dinner"*…
In 1925, the Brooklyn-born entrepreneur Clarence Birdseye invented a machine for freezing packaged fish that would revolutionize the storage and preparation of food. [see here.] Maxson Food Systems of Long Island used Birdseye's technology, the double-belt freezer, to sell the first complete frozen dinners to airlines in 1945, but plans to offer those meals in supermarkets were canceled after the death of the company's founder, William L. Maxson. Ultimately, it was the Swanson company that transformed how Americans ate dinner (and lunch)—and it all came about, the story goes, because of Thanksgiving turkey.
According to the most widely accepted account, a Swanson salesman named Gerry Thomas conceived the company's frozen dinners in late 1953 when he saw that the company had 260 tons of frozen turkey left over after Thanksgiving, sitting in ten refrigerated railroad cars. (The train's refrigeration worked only when the cars were moving, so Swanson had the trains travel back and forth between its Nebraska headquarters and the East Coast "until panicked executives could figure out what to do," according to Adweek.) Thomas had the idea to add other holiday staples such as cornbread stuffing and sweet potatoes, and to serve them alongside the bird in frozen, partitioned aluminum trays designed to be heated in the oven. Betty Cronin, Swanson's bacteriologist, helped the meals succeed with her research into how to heat the meat and vegetables at the same time while killing food-borne germs.
Whereas Maxson had called its frozen airline meals "Strato-Plates," Swanson introduced America to its "TV dinner" (Thomas claims to have invented the name) at a time when the concept was guaranteed to be lucrative: As millions of white women entered the workforce in the early 1950s, Mom was no longer always at home to cook elaborate meals—but now the question of what to eat for dinner had a prepared answer. Some men wrote angry letters to the Swanson company complaining about the loss of home-cooked meals. For many families, though, TV dinners were just the ticket. Pop them in the oven, and 25 minutes later, you could have a full supper while enjoying the new national pastime: television.
In 1950, only 9 percent of U.S. households had television sets—but by 1955, the number had risen to more than 64 percent, and by 1960, to more than 87 percent. Swanson took full advantage of this trend, with TV advertisements that depicted elegant, modern women serving these novel meals to their families, or enjoying one themselves. "The best fried chicken I know comes with a TV dinner," Barbra Streisand told the New Yorker in 1962…
Thanks to the pandemic, Thanksgiving's most unexpected legacy is heating up again: "A Brief History of the TV Dinner."
* The Swanson "promise" on every package
As we peel back the foil, we might send clearly-outlined birthday greetings to Irma S. Rombauer; she was born on this date in 1877. An author of cookbooks, she is best remembered for The Joy of Cooking, one of the most widely-published and used cookbooks in the U.S. Originally unable to find a publisher, she privately printed an edition in 1931. But in 1935 a commercial edition (the first of nine) was released by Bobbs-Merrill.
Written in a plain but witty style, including basic techniques and simple dishes, not just the complext recipes that were the staples of most cookbooks of the time, it found a broad and loyal audience among the American middle class. Indeed, Julia Child credits The Joy of Cooking with teaching her the basic techniques of the kitchen, and (along with Gourmet Magazine) teaching her to cook.

Can flying nerves be reduced by the introduction of airport therapy dogs?
A recent study has revealed that one third of Brits are more scared of flying than 10 years ago and, as rates increase, those affected are searching for more ways to reduce fears. For the 21 million who don't feel at ease when taking flights, a new and rather cute solution is proving to be popular.
Introducing airport therapy dogs
The UK's first airport therapy dog has proved to be extremely popular. Harley, the Alaskan malamute, has been successfully easing the nerves of passengers in the terminals of one of Scotland's largest and busiest airports. This friendly pooch has been more than happy for anxious travellers to stroke and play with him before their flight departures and is having a significant impact!
Surprisingly, Harley isn't the first airport therapy dog – in fact, there are over 50 airports in the US that have introduced these dogs. After hearing about the positive stories of how dogs have helped passengers travelling with conditions such as dementia, Harley has been brought into Aberdeen airport as an official staff member!
Initially brought in on a trial basis after being inspired by the work of therapy dogs at Halifax airport in North America, staff at Aberdeen airport are keen to have Harley back as a team member throughout July, where Harley will to continue to help de-stress passengers. Airport manager Fraser Bain said:
'The use of therapy dogs has become quite common in North American airports to reduce customer anxiety and improve the passenger experience but we were not aware of any such schemes in UK airports. Harley made his first visit to the airport in March 2018 and he was an instant hit, he is a beautiful dog with such a gentle nature that people warmed to him straight away.We are keen to explore further ways of how Harley can be of benefit to passengers travelling through the airport, whether this is linked to busier periods at the airport or tied in to help passengers with hidden disabilities. We are looking forward to working more with Niel and Harley and receiving lots more cuddles with our gentle giant.'
It's no secret that pets have a huge impact on the well-being of humans, from helping development at an early age, to providing every day comfort. We are discovering new ways that animals helps us every day.
We don't know about you, but the idea of airport therapy dogs across UK airports is certainly something we like the sound of. Whether you're a nervous flyer or not, snuggling up with a fluffy friend prior to lift-off is bound to have a positive impact and make flying a little less nerve wracking.

What is different about this map and a map of the United States today?
How long did the trip take? Why did it take so long? Does the course of the journey make sense to you?
What would it be like to travel in America in 1831? What would you bring with you? Where would you stay?
What methods of transportation did Tocqueville use? How would you pay for your trip?
You may want to use the Digital Classroom's Map Analysis Worksheet for map exercises. You can look at History Matters' Making Sense of Evidence materials on working with maps as historical evidence.
2. Have students pick five or six stops along Tocqueville's and Beaumont's journey and read the journal entries. Students may do this at home or at the library, if the classroom does not have full computer access. If the teacher has the proper technology, he or she may do this step with the whole class by using a computer and digital projector or may download, print and distribute maps. Teachers and students may find it useful to consult a contemporary map of the United States to make comparisons.
Students should write a brief comparative paragraph about the two maps for later reference in the activity. Students might want to construct a chart before they write their paragraph; they could create their own list of items they would need for their trip, referring to Tocqueville and Beaumont's journal entries and the OSV Web site for more information about life in the 1830s.
3. Ask students to pull together the information they have learned from looking at the maps and journal entries. Then have students go to the OSV Web site for more information about life in America in the 1830s. Have the students brainstorm together as if they were preparing for a journey that would encompass a portion of Tocqueville's trip.
Some information will be available on the OSV site, but students will have to do independent research about travel in the 1830s to accurately be able to re-create the trip.

Michelle Bastian
Dr Michelle Bastian
Chancellor's Fellow (Senior Lecturer)
Willingness to take PhD students: Yes
I am available for supervision and co-supervision. I am interested in working with students looking at issues to do with social aspects of time, multispecies and more-than-human research, time and design, and environmental humanities approaches.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of New South Wales
Communities out of joint: A consideration of the role of temporality in rethinking community
Bachelor of Arts, Australian National University
Haraway's Missing Cyborg
Michelle Bastian works in the areas of critical time studies and environmental humanities, with a particular focus on the relationship between time and belonging.
She completed her PhD in Philosophy at the University of New South Wales, and was a Research Associate at the Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change, University of Manchester, before taking up her current role in Edinburgh.
Since 2013 she has been involved in eight AHRC funded research projects, five as principal investigator. These projects looked at time and community, local food projects, sustainable economies, temporal design and transition towns.
Her work has been published in a range of journals including GeoHumanities, Parallax, Theory, Culture and Society, New Formations, Time and Society, Feminist Theory and the Journal of Environmental Philosophy.
Michelle is an editor of four collections including Field Philosophy and Other Experiments (Parallax, 2019), Unexpected Encounters with Deep Time (Environmental Humanities, 2018) and Participatory Research in More-than-Human Worlds (Routledge, 2016), and is an Editor-in-Chief for the journal Time & Society (SAGE).
Michelle is the founder and convenor of the Temporal Belongings Network, member of the steering committee for the Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network, founder and convenor of the Edinburgh Time Network, member of the Extinction Studies Working Group and co-founder of the Transition Research Network which she co-cordinated from 2011-2017.
My research focuses on two main areas:
1. Philosophy of social time and social aspects of time-keeping
My work seeks to open up new interdisciplinary conversations between philosophy, the social sciences and design. Building on my areas of expertise within feminist, environmental and continental philosophy, my research has argued that a deeper engagement with social time is necessary to respond to key philosophical questions around the politics of time and the construction of communities. I have demonstrated that such an engagement results in profound challenges to the way that time, and time-reckoning tools, have been treated by philosophers. Moreover my work opens new avenues for exploring philosophical methods, including engagements with designers and field-based research approaches.
2. Concepts and methods for supporting more-than-human communities
Extending my work on the relationship between time and communities to the issue of more-than-human communities I seek to bring critical time studies into conversation with environmental humanities to explore how social concepts of time are involved in the construction of nature as outside of culture and everyday human concerns. In particular I have argued for expanding the scope of relationships we look to when 'telling time'. A further key aspect of this work has been again to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogues, most clearly exemplified in my work on more-than-human participatory research, which brings human-focused participatory research methods into conversation with multi-species research methods.

A Viana do Castelo trip is quite a different type of experience from Portugal's usual coastal resorts. Your usual Algarve resort tends to be an upgraded fishing village or some Victorian era settlement, but Viana do Castelo offers a bit more charm thanks to its 19th century thoroughfares filled with flowers and its narrow lanes populated with Manueline manors and Rococo palaces.
The town is located close to the Rio Lima estuary which means that some excellent beaches are only a very short distance away, and keep in mind that the city will make a great headquarters for exploring the lower Lima valley.
One of the major sights of the city is the Monte de Santa Luzia which actually has two solid reasons to visit this hill populated with eucalyptus trees. One would be the wonderful view that you can see from here down the coast and up the Lima valley, and the other is the Templo do Sagrado Coracao de Jesus.
The Praca da Republica on the other hand is located at the heart of the city's very well-preserved area of historic mansions and monuments. The elegant Chafariz is a Renaissance era fountain built in 1554 which features Manueline motifs representing an armillary sphere and the cross of the Order of Christ.
Then you can see the old town hall – Antigos Pracos do Concelho – yet another 16th century very well-maintained building. Not to mention the Igreja de Misericordia and the former Misericordia almshouse.
Viana features a huge arcing beach called the Praia do Cabedelo, which has very little development so it maintains a lot of its charm.
These are just a few of the things that you can see and do while in Viana, make sure to employ our Viana do Castelo car hire services so as to see as much of this great place as possible.


You're doing more than just dreaming about working out while you're sleeping – getting a restful night of sleep can help you lose weight and keep it off.
When you think of good health, diet and exercise are the first components that come to mind. But as Jill Nystul, one of our guest bloggers noted, sleep deprived people experience as much as 50% less fat loss than people who are well-rested. That's just one of the 5 Surprising benefits of a good night's sleep. Getting more sleep can curb your appetite, help control cravings, and boost your metabolism.
These Reasons better sleep can lead to weight loss seem far too good to be true, but when combined with good nutrition and a healthy amount of exercise it is easily attainable. Having trouble changing your bedtime to get enough sleep? Start your change slowly, by going to bed 15 minutes earlier in the evening and waking up 15 minutes later in the morning.
There's more to this than just curbing your appetite. When you sleep, hormones regulating hunger and energy change. If you don't get enough sleep, your body may be sending you the wrong signals regarding hunger. If you're wondering How to lose your extra belly fat overnight:, make sure that you not only get enough sleep, but consistent sleep. A routine bedtime makes a big difference!
Don't trust us on the sleep science? Don't worry, we also speak from experience – We tried this: lose weight while you sleep. The "sleep diet" focuses on time-restricted feeding (TRF), meaning you limit eating to an 8- to 12-hour window during the day. A 12-week diet resulted in lower body weight, heart rate, and fat mass, according to the FaseB Journal.
Even though the benefits of getting enough sleep are amazing regarding weight loss, the risks associated with obesity in those who don't get enough sleep are also staggering. According to Sleep starved: the obesity and sleep connection there is close relation between short sleep and weight gain even when controlling for other variables.
Lack of sleep affects all parts of your body, from your head to your toes – Inside out: what happens to your body when you don't sleep. Weight loss aside, good sleep helps you become a healthy individual in mind, body, and spirit.
Like diet and exercise, quality sleep is essential for optimal health and performance. Because everyone's sleep needs are different, Sleep Number 360® smart beds use Responsive Air® technology to sense your movements and automatically adjust firmness, comfort and support to keep you both sleeping well all night long. To experience better quality sleep and learn more about Sleep Number 360 smart beds from $999, visit one of more than 560 Sleep Number® stores located in all 50 states or SleepNumber.com.

The glitch means the Iowa Department of Public Health has inadvertently been reporting fewer new infections and a smaller percentage of daily positive tests than is truly the case, according to Dana Jones, an Iowa City nurse practitioner who uncovered the problem. Potentially thousands of coronavirus infections from recent weeks and months have instead been erroneously recorded as having happened in March, April, May and June, Jones said Monday. The numbers are skewed because some people tested negative earlier but recently tested positive.
He said a system-generated date when test results are reported to the state stays the same when an individual later tests positive. We have raised the issue and are actively working on fixing it. But the state has yet to publicly announce the error. Amy McCoy, a spokeswoman for the public health department, told the Associated Press that she hoped to have more information about the issue soon. But the current curve looks flatter than it should and the recent rates of positive tests are lower than they should be, Jones said.
School districts are relying on a day positivity rate calculated by the state to determine whether they should reopen classrooms to students and teachers. So far, only a handful of districts meet that threshold. Many districts had been considering starting the year with only virtual classes because of safety concerns tied to the pandemic, but the new mandate has encouraged them to adopt hybrid plans in which students attend in-person classes part-time. Some districts have pushed back their start dates to early September and are still deciding how to proceed.
Mike Beranek, the president of the Iowa State Education Association, a union representing teachers, said Monday that school districts should put their reopening decisions on hold until the data is fully corrected.

Saunders was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Saunders began his coaching career at Golden Valley Lutheran College where he compiled a 92—13 record, including a perfect 56—0 mark at home, in four seasons. In , he became an assistant coach at his alma mater, Minnesota, and helped guide the Golden Gophers to the Big Ten championship that season. After five seasons at Minnesota, he became an assistant coach at the University of Tulsa where he worked for two seasons before heading to the pro ranks.
He also served as general manager —93 and team president —94 of the Catbirds. Saunders would leave after seven productive seasons as a head coach in the CBA, where he ranks second with career victories. This happened shortly after McHale had taken over the basketball operations for the Timberwolves. He then added the coaching duties to his GM responsibilities after the team had gotten off to a 6—14 start. The Timberwolves went 20—42 the rest of the year, but the emergence of young Kevin Garnett as a front-line NBA player was a huge plus over the second half of the season.

We just came back and kept on coming back. It was insane. North used the momentum it gained from the end of the second game to take a quick lead in the third.

Sophomore Erin Armbruster added nine kills, and Maddy Bessert had seven kills.
Murphy, freshman Alexis Kohut and senior Grace Metry helped South jump out to its lead in the second game, but the Blue Devils were unable to hang on.

A former health care provider indicted for stealing from a DeKalb County client has entered a guilty plea. During court proceedings on Thursday, 30-year-old Kimalika Smith pleaded guilty to two counts of Exploitation of an Elder Person in connection with financial crimes, totaling nearly $30,000, against James Harte, who was 81-years-old at the time of the crime.
The victim, now deceased, hired Defendant Smith to care for him following a stroke. Shortly after she began working for him, Defendant Smith established online access to the victim's credit card accounts. Between September 2014 and May 2015, Smith made dozens of unauthorized charges on the victim's credit cards, and obtained cash without permission while purchasing groceries for the victim. Mr. Harte eventually became suspicious and turned to relatives for help. Defendant Smith was arrested in June 2015 and later indicted.
Following her guilty plea before DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gail Flake, Defendant Smith was sentenced under the first offender act to ten years to serve one with the balance on probation. She was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $26,490.89. According to the terms of her plea agreement, Smith is prohibited from working with elder or disabled adults. She has surrendered her license as a certified nurse assistant.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Jeanne Canavan assigned to the Elder Exploitation Unit, with assistance from DA Investigator Charles Maupin. Detective A. Vots of the Decatur Police Department led the initial investigation.

Lo Yabusame (流鏑馬), ossia il tiro con l'arco eseguito da un cavaliere, è un'arte marziale giapponese derivante dal kyudo (il tiro con l'arco tradizionale). La particolarità è che le frecce utilizzate non hanno punta ma terminano con rigonfiamento ovoidale che evita gli eventuali danni di un tiro errato.

Storia
La storia dell'arco giapponese inizia già nel periodo Jōmon (fino al III secolo a.C.), il lungo arco composto e asimmetrico tipico della cultura giapponese nacque, tuttavia, nel periodo Yayoi (III secolo a.C. - III secolo d.C.) e da allora gli archi sono diventati il simbolo dell'autorità e del potere della classe guerriera, il primo e leggendario sovrano del Giappone, Jinmu, è infatti raffigurato sempre assieme ad un arco. Già alcune tribù Emishi praticavano il tiro con l'arco montato, degna di nota la tribù Hitakami, ed erano particolarmente temute dalla corte giapponese.

Il tiro con l'arco a cavallo non si diffuse tra i soldati giapponesi fino al IV secolo, quando i guerrieri migliori iniziarono a combattere da cavallo con spada e arco o lancia. Durante il X secolo si diffuse tra i samurai l'usanza del duello a cavallo con l'arco: i duellanti cavalcavano uno verso l'altro e provavano a scagliare almeno tre frecce; non sempre il duello doveva terminare con la morte di uno dei due. Uno degli episodi più famosi riguardanti il tiro con l'arco a cavallo risale al XII secolo, durante la guerra Genpei: i Taira, sconfitti durante la battaglia di Yashima, fuggirono sulle loro navi e i Minamoto, inseguendoli, si ritrovarono la strada sbarrata dal mare. Mentre i Taira aspettavano il vento giusto, fecero appendere un ventaglio in cima all'albero maestro della loro ammiraglia, in segno di sfida verso qualunque arciere dell'esercito Minamoto. Uno degli uomini dei Minamoto, Nasu no Yochi, fece avanzare il cavallo più al largo possibile e, con un tiro preciso, perforò il ventaglio dei Taira. Nasu fu acclamato e ottenne molta fama, con la sua impresa celebrata ancora oggi.

Durante il periodo Kamakura (XIII secolo) il tiro con l'arco montato era usato per tenere in allenamento i soldati e chi avesse mancato tutti e tre i bersagli avrebbe fatto seppuku per la vergogna. Sempre in questo periodo si sviluppò lo inuōmono, il tiro al cane, dove, per l'appunto, gli arceri galoppavano attorno a un recinto cercando di colpire un cane liberato al suo interno. A causa della violenza di questa pratica, il clero buddista impose di utilizzare almeno delle frecce imbottite per non ferire i cani e attualmente questa arte marziale non è più praticata.

Disciplina
La disciplina richiede una notevole abilità sia nel cavalcare che nel tirare poiché, per maneggiare l'arco, il cavaliere ha entrambe le mani occupate e non può tenere le briglie, quindi deve tenersi in sella con la sola forza delle gambe. Questa pratica nasce come una sorta di intrattenimento offerto agli dei e, come il kyūdō, è profondamente intrisa dei concetti della filosofia zen e come tutte le arti marziali è non solo un esercizio di bravura ma anche un cammino iniziatico di elevazione spirituale. Possono praticare lo Yabusame anche le donne che indossano, al pari degli uomini, sontuosi costumi di foggia duecentesca. Anche i finimenti dei cavalli e tutto l'equipaggiamento riproducono con estrema minuzia quello dei tempi originari, raffigurato in innumerevoli opere pittoriche.

L'arciere di yabusame galoppa lungo una pista lunga come minimo due chō (218 metri), ma che sovente supera i 250 metri, con il primo bersaglio che in genere si trova dopo 100 metri, il secondo dopo 150 e il terzo dopo 200. Quando si avvicina a un bersaglio, l'arciere incocca una freccia, queste sono in genere infilate nel lato destro della cintura, e, tendendo l'arco, emette un grido pronunciando le parole "In'yō" (陰陽) e scocca la freccia. Le frecce hanno punta smussata in modo da emettere un suono più forte all'impatto con il bersaglio. Gli arcieri esperti possono usare frecce con punta biforcuta, in modo da ridurre il bersaglio in piccoli frammenti che cadono a terra dopo l'impatto. I bersagli si trovano a una distanza di 5 metri dalla pista e a un'altezza di 2 metri, in modo da simulare un avversario a cavallo con il solo volto scoperto. Gli arcieri che colpiscono tutti e tre i bersagli ricevono una striscia di stoffa bianca che simboleggia il favore divino.

Solo i migliori arcieri di kasagake (un altro tipo di tiro con l'arco montato, dal carattere meno solenne e più sportivo) vengono scelti per eseguire lo yabusame, e a loro volta gli arcieri di kasagake vengono scelti solo tra i migliori kyūdōka.

Scuole
Attualmente, ci sono due importanti scuole di yabusame. la scuola Ogasawara e la scuola Takeda. La prima fu fondata da Ogasawara Nagakiyo, capostipite dell'omonimo clan, sotto l'incitazione dello shōgun Minamoto no Yoritomo, in modo da tenere i soldati in allenamento. La scuola Takeda, più antica, fu fondata da Minamoto no Yoshiari, esortato dall'imperatore Uda.

Uncommonly early 8x10-inch black and white portrait for 1943's The Constant Nymph, boldly signed and inscribed in blue ink in the 1940s. In good condition, with mild border creasing and a studio snipe affixed to reverse side. After spells of stage work and forgettable B-movie fare in the 1930s, leading lady Joan Fontaine gained prominence in two Hitchcock classics: Rebecca (1940) and Suspicion (1941), taking home an Academy Award for the latter. In 1943, she was again nominated, for her portrayal of Tessa Sanger in The Constant Nymph. Fontaine spent the next few years playing innocent, well-bred types, in films like This Above All (1943) and Jane Eyre (1943), but, as she matured as an actress, she leaned toward sophisticated, often hot-headed or maliciously calculating characters. Of particular note are her knockout performances in Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) and Ivanhoe (1952). In 1966, she starred in the cult horror flick The Witches, which proved, not surprisingly, her final film.

Matt Ritchie and Jamaal Lascelles 'pulled apart in training ground row' at Newcastle
Matt Matt Ritchie and Jamaal Lascelles were involved in a training ground bust-up, according to a report.
Wednesday, 29 August, 2018, 07:34
Rafa Benitez
Lascelles, Newcastle United's captain, missed last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea because of an ankle problem.
However, the defender had also had a disagreement with manager Rafa Benitez over tactics ahead of the fixture.
Benitez had fielded a five-man defence against Chelsea.
Speaking after the game at St James's Park, Benitez said: "All my life I like to talk with players. We decide with what we have to do. Every one knows that. If players have different opinions then we have to speak about it, that's it, and then we stick to the plan."
Lascelles praised the efforts of his team-mates on Twitter after the game.
"Frustrating not to be able to play due to a slight ankle injury," tweeted the 24-year-old. "Great effort from the boys against a top team."
Jamaal Lascelles
Lascelles, linked with a number of clubs this summer, had trained for most of the week before reporting his injury.
And the Daily Mail report that Ritchie confronted his skipper on the training pitch after Lascelles "voiced his disapproval over Benitez's decision to play with a five-man defence".
The pair, it's claimed, were separated by team-mates and shook hands afterwards. Benitez also spoke to Lascelles, who was handed the captain's armband two years ago.
Lascelles could return for Saturday's Premier League game against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
"The doctor told me he is much better than he thinks," said Benitez. "He's waiting for a scan.
"I talked with him before the game, because he supported the team. I spoke to him when he was leaving, and (Tuesday) morning he was talking three or four times. He's waiting for his partner to have a baby in the next few days."
Winger Ritchie will miss tonight's Carabao Cup tie with a knee problem.


Roy and I finish the original interview with a look at how Hollywood tends to steal from one another as well as treat actors with disdain. Roy reiterates his retirement and why. Our next segment will be a "greatest hits" compilation of interview highlights that will be great for those who missed the first 11 segments. Roy Thinnes has had a half century career ranging from television to major motion pictures. He was the first Dr. Brewer on General Hospital, Died 3 Times on One Life To Live, starred in the series The Invaders, Dark Shadows, Long Hot Summer, and was the enigmatic alien healer and rebel Jeremiah Smith in The X-Files (Season 3 and 4).
In this segment, Roy Thinnes and I talk about egos & the prevalence of theft in Hollywood. We review why he was let go from Alfred Hitchcock's final and least successful film, Family Plot & his enigmatic character in The X-Files, Jeremiah Smith, an alien with miraculous healing powers who warns Mulder that his species plans to poison and eventually replace humanity.
In this segment, Roy talks about his experience with Alfred Hitchcock, whose alcoholism nearly destroyed his last film, Family Plot, and resulted in Roy's dismissal & replacement with William Devane as the lead villain. It also points out an unfortunate, inconvenient truth: that Hollywood honchos like Hitch, despite their gifts, are consumed by ego.

2010 was a big year for respiratory care in the UK. Major changes to policy appeared in two new sets of guidance – the National Strategy for COPD and new NICE Guidance. HCPs, who manage COPD patients, were faced with decoding weighty documentation into meaningful action.
A collaboration between GSK and the Primary Care Respiratory Society produced Paper to Patient – an outcomes-based training programme. The digital programme, centred around a Tamagotchi-style game, went live in September 2010 and has seen extraordinary and ground-breaking levels of engagement by HCPs – exceeding targets by 80 per cent to reach over 18,000 HCPs with clear adoption of the new guidance in practice.
This is brilliant and the sort of thing that I would want to do. The Paper to Patient website as the mixture of games and content was fantastic. What really struck me was that every page was different – there was either a video to watch or interesting content so you never got bored. Plus 18,000 HCPs … wow!

Technical Advisory Group (TAG)
The IATI Standard allows organisations to provide detailed information for decision-making and accountability.
What is the IATI Standard?
The IATI Standard is a set of rules and guidance about what data organisations should publish and what format it should be presented in.
The Standard has been to created to deliver information required to improve the coordination, accountability and effectiveness to maximise their impact on the world's poorest and most vulnerable people.
A range of organisations can be IATI publishers, from governments, multilateral institutions, private sector and civil society organisations and others, to increase the transparency of information on resources flowing into developing countries.
The IATI Standard allows organisations to provide detailed information for decision-making and accountability. This includes the following:
Data about an organisation
Total spend by the organisation over the last year.
Total annual planned budget for the organisation in each of the next three years, where available.
Planned budgets broken down by individual recipient countries or regions around the world.
Useful background documents, such as country action plans and annual reports.
Data about specific activities
Organisations are asked to publish data about individual activities that represent pieces of development or humanitarian work they are carrying out.
Financial information for the activity
Incoming funds: recording funds that come into the organisation.
Disbursements: funds that the organisation passes on to another organisation.
Expenditures: spending by the organisation on a good or a service.
IATI also encourages organisations to publish information about funds they plan to provide or are expecting to receive on a specific activity. Details can be shared on firm commitments made in a formal contract or written obligation, or on indicative commitments, provided in a planned activity budget.
Important details beyond finances
In addition to finances, IATI's data standard allows organisations to share other useful information on development and humanitarian activities. For example:
Location data relating to the activity, which could include the country, sub-national and even precise coordinates for a location.
The sectors or policy area that the activity falls into - for example health, research or gender.
Results data on the impact or outcome of the activity.
The conditions attached to an activity - for example the interest rate on a loan or any specific requirements for funds to be spent on goods or services in a particular country.
Activities published to the IATI Standard labeled with the sector 'Basic drinking water supply'. View IATI activity data at d-portal.
Up-to-date and forward-looking data
Timely data
The Standard allows for monthly, weekly or even daily updates, and IATI encourages organisations to update changes in their spending at least every quarter. This helps to ensure that information is as up-to-date as possible.
Forward-looking data
The IATI Standard supports forward planning by allowing data to be published on organisations' spending plans up to three years in advance.
Format of data
IATI's Standard provides detailed guidance on how to publish data in the XML format required. Organisations are asked to provide links to their XML data files via the IATI Registry.
IATI data is then available to explore and download through a number of online portals and tools, for example through d-portal.org.

Reds win arbitration against Sims
Published 6:17 pm Friday, June 10, 2022
CINCINNATI (AP) — Pitcher Lucas Sims lost to the Cincinnati Reds in salary arbitration on Thursday and will get $1.2 million instead of his $1.6 million request, leaving clubs with a 7-3 advantage in decisions with five cases remaining.
Margaret Brogan, Robert Herzog and Jeanne Vonhof issued the decision, a day after hearing arguments.
Sims was 5-3 with a 4.40 ERA and seven saves in 10 chances last season, striking out 76 and walking 18 in 47 innings. He earned $598,500 and was eligible for arbitration for the first time.
A 28-year-old right-hander, Sims is 1-0 with a 9.45 ERA in six appearances this season. He started the season on the injured list because of back spasms, pitched for the Reds from April 23 to May 10, then went back on the IL because his back.
Catchers Willson Contreras of the Chicago Cubs ($9,625,000) and Gary Sánchez of the Minnesota Twins ($9 million) reached agreement at their midpoints on Thursday that avoided hearings.
No statistics or evidence from after March 1 are admissible other than contract and salary comparisons. The timing was set when Major League Baseball and the players' association agreed to the deal that ended the lockout.
Losing their decisions earlier were Atlanta outfielder Adam Duvall ($9,275,000), Braves third baseman Austin Riley ($3.95 million), injured Atlanta reliever Luke Jackson ($3.6 million), St. Louis outfielder Tyler O'Neill ($3.4 million), Miami right-hander Pablo López ($2.45 million) and Milwaukee right-hander Adrian Houser ($2,425,000).
Winning were Atlanta shortstop Dansby Swanson ($10 million), Seattle second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier ($8 million) and Kansas City outfielder Andrew Benintendi ($8.5 million).
Arbitration hearings usually are held during the first three weeks of February but were delayed by the lockout.
Hearings are scheduled through June 24. Other players still on track for hearings include New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, Atlanta left-hander Max Fried, Miami catcher Jacob Stallings, Seattle outfielder Jesse Winker and Kansas City second baseman Nicky Lopez.
