Home Posts Zooglider Science
Zooglider Science
The zooglider is deployed and recovered using a small boat launched
from the Scripps pier. It's 6 feet long with a 4 foot wing span.
Zooglider photos thanks to grad student Ben Whitmore.
Leg 3 of this R/V Sally Ride cruise is underway after switching out the science party in Oceanside. Samples are being collected by a few different groups, including Scripps professor Mark Ohman and undergraduate and graduate students from his lab. We are operating in the vicinity of a zooglider that was launched recently from a small boat. The glider is an unmanned vehicle that carries oceanographic sensors onboard and can sink to a depth of 400 meters on command. When it surfaces, it sends location information to the lab via satellite. It can stay out to sea for a number of weeks and is then recovered and the data downloaded from its sensors.
Scientists are collecting biological samples using the MOCNESS (multiple opening/closing net environmental sampling system), which is deployed from the back deck of R/V Sally Ride. They have done tows to 400m around noon and midnight each day, to account for the fact that critters move shallower in the water column after dark. The samples will be compared to pictures taken from a camera system on the zooglider, in order to determine whether krill and other animals may be avoiding the glider. The camera takes a picture every 0.5 seconds, capturing images such as those below. The abundance of various species can then be inferred based on how many were spotted by the camera. But it may be that those calculations aren't indicative of the actual population, if the animals move away from the zooglider as it approaches. The net tows, however, are harder for them to avoid.
Images from the camera on a zooglider. On the left is a jelly, and on the right is a copepod, the main subject of study in Dr. Mark Ohman's lab.
The MOCNESS tows take a few hours each. You can read more about how the net system works in a previous post. Sensors are mounted to the net frame, including a CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth), oxygen, fluorometer, and transmissometer. Live readings from these sensors are monitored by scientists in the lab during the cast, who give directions via radio to a crew member running the winch. When the package is brought back onboard, the ten nets are washed down with seawater. This rinses all of the critters caught along the length of the net into the cod end, which is then removed and brought into the lab. More rinsing and filtering is done, and then each sample is preserved for further study. Check out this 360 degree view of a MOCNESS recovery on the ship's fantail.
The nets provide data about animals found in each depth range; each collects a sample covering 20-100 vertical meters at a time. With the camera, that resolution will be narrowed down to 5 centimeters, giving much more useful information about whether specimens are interacting with each other. This is the first study to take place when the zooglider and net tows are operating at the same time and in the same area as each other. Testing that the camera system can be reliably used to make inferences about zooplankton populations is part of making it a valuable tool.
On deck, each of the ten nets are rinsed (left), flushing the sample into the cod end.
In the wet lab, students filter and preserve the samples for study back on land (right).

Today was a good day. Pray for me.
A quick round up of the last couple of weeks.
So it's been a while... boy has a lot happened... The quick version is High School Summer Camp and VBS. I believe that my ministry at Calvary is starting to make difference. I know that sounds weird after two years of being here and working and ministering, but I believe that God's just getting started.
At High School Summer Camp, we held workshops which were a huge success. Not necessarily in numbers (although one had almost half the camp) but in personal growth. Kids felt like they could be open and ask the questions they wanted to ask, and we would answer.
VBS was fun too, and it wiped me out each day, but God gave me the strength and energy to continue and finish. In a seven day period, I taught 30 times. A new record for me. Then over the following two days, I taught three more times. I was super encouraged by feedback of that ill-prepared 30th teaching, which goes to show that it's God and not me.
At night, along with my devotional, I read a book called God's Smuggler. It's about a guy who smuggles Bibles into Communist countries in the 60's. And by smuggles, he puts them in his car and prays that th guards don't notice when he drives across the boarder. God performs miracle after miracle and provides for this guy completely. It helps me because I look at what I make and what I spend and what I do for free. But if God can provide all that for Brother Andrew, could He not also provide for me? I'm going to try and skimp a little more on luxuries, but I would hate to cut back on any of the ministries I participate in. A couple have changed on me for now, but that's okay. I can deal with change. My book club has reduced to just me, but I think I know where it's going... I think it will revive amongst the younger crowd instead of the older, although I was blessed with them.
On a more personal note, I need prayer. I am almost afraid to say what for, but God knows. If all goes well, I feel I should know by my birthday. If it doesn't, I think I'll know by then too. If I don't, keep praying.
On an extremely personal note that I don't mind sharing, I am continuing my request to God for the Spiritual gift of Prophecy. I believe that God has already granted me this gift, but I have much to learn on using it. I have added to this request discernment. I have lots of dreams and visions and some I know are from God and some I know are not. There are many that I have yet to figure out, and I am always getting more. I can close my eyes at any time, wait just a few moments, and get a vision of something. I just need to know how to sort them. Thanks for your prayers. I am also finding that I need to be spending more one on one time with people, which is hard to work into my schedule. I need time to work to pay rent and that work is not going out to lunch with people and praying for people and teaching the Word of God. All 30 hours I taught were all unpaid. I don't mind being unpaid for teaching, but doing it 30 times in a week cut into what I could have worked to pay rent and eat.
I need prayer, that God would increase my faith that He will provide the money or me to keep doing what I am doing. It seems that my hardest struggles with trusting God are women and money. The first, I've just shown my trust by not pursuing. I don't need a woman for now. I would like one. It would be nice, but I don't need one. As for money... I wouldn't care for that either excpet that people keep asking me for it and I have very little to give them. I wish that I didn't need it, and envy these high schoolers who live with their parents. Getting my mail is depressing.
On a positive note, 4 kids came to the Lord over VBS. These are four very precious souls which have been added to our number. Four children robbed from the grip of death and given life free and flowing. These are our new brother and sisters. Please pray for them. God knows who they are. Two of them have been given Bibles. I told one that she got the same Bible I teach out of. It made her happy. I love how a teacher can use the same Bible as a 8 year old and the Holy Spirit will connect with each of us where we are.
I decided to write my second book during the month of July. I need accountability. Anyone interested? It means that every so often during that month, I email you what I've written so far, and you let me know that you have received it and if you read it, which you don't have to, then you talk to me about it to keep me excited about doing it. The reason I'm waiting until July is so I can finish writing something else this month. I want to finish this project before I start the next one.

Hichki: Rani Mukherjee's film touches 6.03 crore mark on day three
Hichki Rani Mukherji YRF Films Box Office Collections Aditya Chopra Hichki movie Movie review
Rani Mukherji's much-awaited re-comeback movie Hichki finally has hit the theaters recent Friday. While the movie is being quite appreciated by the critics, it is also receiving immense love from the audiences.
The class of kids which Naina gets has acted brilliantly and the casting director must be given full marks for it. After 'Black' Rani has once again proved her acting mettle with 'Hichki' which will somewhere pull the right string and touch your hearts.

Rani's 'Hichki happens to be an adaptation of 2008 Hollywood movie 'Front of the Class' which was based on the book titled 'Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had by Brad Cohen'.
The story revolves around Naina Mathur (Rani Mukerji) is an aspiring teacher who suffers from Tourette Syndrome. After several interviews and numerous rejections, she lands her dream job as a full-time teacher in an elite school. The class she has been assigned though comprises of defiant and impish students who can't seem to keep out of trouble. Naina overcomes all challenges to help her students realise their true potential.

Home Food What is Nutrition Coaching?
Have you ever noticed the cover of a health magazine as you were checking out at the grocery store? You'd see big bold words, listed like trending hashtags on Twitter… Paleo, Keto, Whole30, 5:2! Which Diet Really Works? The thing about diets is they all work (for someone), and they all fail (for pretty much everyone). Someone out there has lost weight on pretty much any diet you can think of, and the smart ones know how to market, brand and sell their solution. Combine that with what feels like constantly changing information (wait… coconut oil is bad now?), trendy buzzwords ('locally sourced' sounds really good), and crazy marketing efforts by food companies (since when do bananas need a "gluten-free" label). Things can get real confusing, real fast.
Enter the nutrition coach. Nutrition coaches are unique from registered dietitians because because of their specialized coaching background. That means they not only have general knowledge in the field of nutrition, but also possess key coaching skills, like motivational techniques, accountability and progress monitoring, SMART goal setting and probing questioning, and active listening skills. Their primarily goal is to help you live your healthiest, happiest life by uncovering factors and connections across areas of your life that may be affecting how you eat, helping you build sustainable habits that will support a healthy lifestyle, and giving your advice, recommendations and knowledge along the way.
Trying to achieve a health goal– whether it's losing 10 pounds, eating more vegetables, not drinking diet soda, exercising 5 times a week, etc.– is really hard to do based on sheer will-power alone. John Foreyt, Ph.D., a weight-control expert at Baylor College of Medicine, says "the worst thing you can do is depend on willpower for more than a day. In the short run, it can put you in a high motivational state to deprive yourself in a diet or to start exercising or to quit smoking. But in the long run, you need to design a program that will change your life in small ways you can live with." (Shape, "Why Willpower Doesn't Work"). Seeking out a nutrition coach is a way to move beyond punishing yourself with a cycle of diets or ups-and-downs in your eating habits. Your nutrition coach becomes a partner in your health journey, and is not going to ask you to simply muscle your way to your goal with sheer will-power. They will give you the tools and support to realistically achieve your goals, while also helping you discover some "a-ha!" moments along the way– things you may never have realized about yourself until you actually talk it out with someone who knows how to ask the right questions and push you just enough out of your comfort zone.
Many people seek out a personal trainer to focus on personalized goals and have a tailored workout program. A nutrition coach can deliver this same type of individualized support and programming, with a focus on food and other lifestyle areas, such as sleep hygiene or stress management. It can be even be an excellent complement to your personal training or exercise routine, since nutrition and physical fitness go hand-in-hand when thinking about your optimal state of health.
I am looking to get back on track, particularly after a major life event or time away from a solid healthy routine.
I wish I knew how to cook a bigger variety of healthy meals. I'm getting tired of baked chicken, rice and broccoli.
I have meal prep envy… do people really spend their entire Sundays elbow deep in tupperware?
I just can't seem to lose these final few pounds.
I really need more energy; why do I feel this tired all the time?
Let's be honest, I know what I should be doing, but I don't do it.
I have got to kick this coffee/sugar/diet soda/french fry habit!
I get to week 2 of my diet and just can't commit. How are you supposed to stick with a diet when there's happy hours and brunches all the time?
If any of these statements resonate with you, you may want to seek out a nutrition coach. And when looking for a nutrition coach, make sure they have a degree or certification in a nutrition or health-coaching field, and that they are not just trying to sell you on one specific diet, extreme detoxes, or line of products. Your health goals should be their number one priority!
Note: If you have a specific or serious medical issue or concern, it is best to work with a trained medical professional such as a Registered Dietitian. Always consult with your doctor before trying any new dietary or fitness regimen.

Q: set position of uitableviewcellaccessory By default the UITalbeViewCellAccessory's position is in the middle of the cell off to the right.  I want to shift it 29 pixels on the Y axis (move it down 29 pixels).  How can i do this?  I tried setting the accessoryView's frame but that didn't work.
Thanks,

A: Set the accessoryView initial frame is affectless, it is changed any time that the cell does a layout, you need to:
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];
    self.accessoryView.center = CGPointMake($yourX, $yourY);
}

This is a simple way to set a custom position for the accessoryView that is persisted in any cell status

A: A trick for UIImageView's as accessoryView (slightly modified, may contain typos):
cell.accessoryView = ({UIImageView * imgV = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"]];
                    CGRect frame = imgV.frame;
                    frame.size.width = frame.size.width + 10; //Push left by 10
                    imgV.frame = frame;
                    [imgV setContentMode:UIViewContentModeLeft];
                    imgV; });

A: You cannot move the default UITableViewCellAccessoryType. You need to just add a custom view to the cell:
[cell.contentView addSubview:aView];

A: The default UITableViewCell accessoryView property is hard-coded proportional using values from the UITableViewCell and UITableView frame property
(something like UITableViewCell.accessoryView.frame.x = UITableView.frame.width - *30, and UITableViewCell.accessoryView.frame.y = UITableViewCell.frame.height / 2 - *10) (*rough estimate values by me)
For example, if you would lower the UITableView.frame.width value, the accessoryView "absolute" x-position moves to the left, and, similarly, you can adjust the "absolute" y-position by manipulating the UITableViewCell height value, and, possibly, you could cascade 2 UITableViewCell's and set the inner one frame height larger than its parent's so that the position of the accessory view (which is positioned to about half the height of the inner UITableViewCell) gets a lower "absolute" y-position value.
Not a pretty solution, but that's the one way without custom accessory views.

A: For that you have to go for custom accessory view...because its easier way to change the location of UITableViewCellAccessory and for custom accessory view have a look at Custom Accessory View For UITableView in iPhone
Now set the accessories wherever you want.
Good Luck!

Craigslist Foundation Nonprofit Venture Forum
Z Space Studio
1360 Mission St., San Francisco, CA
Presentations by:
Streetside Stories
Professional Enrichment Program
CELLspace
Most on-line Bay Area residents don't need a lesson in "what is Craigslist.org". Programmer Craig Newmark created San Francisco's Craigslist website in 1995, and for many of us, like a $3.00 expresso and $4.00 super burrito, Craigslist has become a part of our daily routine.
We all may have different personal descriptions of Craigslist:
The best place to find jobs in and around San Francisco.
A way to quickly sell those five pairs of ice skates the kids grew out of or buy some cheap used darkroom equipment.
A place to find out where to volunteer with a community organization that interests you.
A place to post a message just because you need to say something.
A place to find a group of people who want to work on a similar creative project. (Where do you think we get our staff?)
The site itself provides this "in a nutshell" description:
craigslist is a community where people can:
give each other a break
get the word out when it comes to everyday real-world stuff
restore the human voice to the Internet, in a humane, non-corporate, environment
Craigslist has since branched out to other cities, from Boston to Melbourne. And just when I think I have Craigslist figured out, they have added something new.
In keeping with their community based spirit, Craigslist has launched Craigslist Foundation with this mission:
To expand community-based philanthropy by actively connecting community members and small, young nonprofits in ways that build engaged relationships, educate donors and support the work of nonprofits.
Last month Craigslist Foundation held the Craigslist Foundation Nonprofit Venture Forum at Z Space Studio. At the forum, five local nonprofit arts organizations had 10 minutes each to pitch to an audience of potential funders. This was the first "all arts organizations" venture forum.
Started in May 2000, the Nonprofit Venture Forum series has involved 35 nonprofit groups, and over 200 members of the philanthropic community.
Individual grants totaling $160,000 have traded hands, plus pro-bono assistance and new board members have been added to Bay Area community groups.
Each participating arts organization was required to fill out an application on-line and describe how they are "committed to social change, not social service". Ten semi-finalists were then selected. The semi-finalists went on to participate in try-out presentations and received feedback on their presentations and message from a professional team of advisors. The five finalists were then selected and given a rehearsal with a drama coach a few weeks before the actual presentation.
At October 10th's forum, information booths from each presenting group were set up around the room. With food catered by Nico Martin Presents, wine from Mumm Cuvée Napa and Sterling Vineyards provided by Segram's, jazz music provided by the Aaron Novick Quartet, and an art exhibit presented by GenArt, the evening's atmosphere was set to open the hearts and pockets of our local philanthropists.
When the audience was seated, the five finalists began their presentations:

1035 Murray St.
The Crucible is an educational sculpture studio, foundry and metal fabrication shop offering hands-on learning for all ages and experience levels.
Founded in 1999 "by a small group of artists, trades people and business leaders determined to break down the barriers which separate the arts from the worlds of business, industry, and everyday life", the Crucible offers classes in MIG, TIG and arc welding, iron and bronze casting, mold making, neon sculpture, glass working, ceramics, stonecarving, blacksmithing, machining, jewelry and kinetics. The Crucible provides studio space for 16 artists and also holds events such as gallery openings including the current exhibit Furniture Art (through December 7th). The Crucible manufactures short-run metal fabrication commissions.
Michael Sturtz (Executive Director) beamed when he pointed out the belt buckle he was wearing, given to him by the Berkeley Fire Department, as he told the audience how the Crucible was commissioned to cast a bronze fire axe to be used by the fire department as a trophy for the best fire house.
The Crucible's current needs include funding for the Crucible Facade Project. The facade, on Ashby Avenue, includes a mural by M. S. Hove. Currently, this facade plan is a fire-hot, mostly-red mural of the imagery of the arts that are taught at the Crucible. The plan is to include a neon and steel sign of the Crucible logo. (Check our events page for information about the mural dedication celebration to take place on December 1st.) The Crucible also needs help with funding for new staff positions and expansion of the foundry so that they can utilize the 500 and 250 pound bronze furnaces donated by U.C. Berkeley's foundry.

Flyaway Productions performs apparatus-based dances that expose the range and power of female physicality. The organization supports ongoing investigations of women's social and cultural identity, with particular focus on how women's identities are shaped by physical strength.
Flyaway Productions provides apparatus-based dance performances and training for the public. This type of dance incorporates risk, spectacle and "social potency".

Jo Kreiter (Artistic Director) combines her background in political science and her 12 years experience as a principal dancer for Joanna Haigood's ZACCHO Dance Theatre to bring social and political content into the dance arena. As Jo Kreiter gives her presentation, she displays beautiful and powerful images of women dancing on various types of apparatus and architectural structures, displaying artistic and physical strength that parallels what is hoped for and striven for in women in all aspects of life.
"In our workshops, we teach how to make the body stronger; we teach partnering between bodies that are differently sized; we teach confidence and the value of each individual toward the whole; we encourage physical and artistic expression as a means toward self-knowledge; and we teach women and girls to embrace their bodies as holy and meaningful. Flyaway chooses dance as an arena within which to challenge long held ideas of women's inferiority. This is our innovation."
Flyaway Productions premieres one to two works per year in its home season. Flyaway Productions also tours nationally, including performances at the Boston Dance Umbrella's International Aerial Festival, Ohio State University, Lane Community College, The Improvisation Festival/NY, SUSHI Performance Space in San Diego, and at the Aerial Dance Festival in Boulder, Colorado. A bit more locally, Flyaway Productions will present "Unmoored #2" (November 10th -11th) in Santa Cruz. The 418 project has commissioned Flyaway Productions to create this quartet for four women which will center around a suspended steel umbrella.
The current needs of Flyaway Productions include funding for professional salaries for artists, directors, collaborators and staff and funding for the institutionalization of a training program for women/girls.
www.streetside.org
Streetside uses storytelling to build community and inspire students to write, read and tell their own stories. Their program offers a blend of storytelling, theatre and autobiographical writing that helps kids meet innumerable California State Standards in Language Arts while providing the many benefits of arts education.
Streetside offers a two-week storytelling program during two-hour sixth-grade language arts classes. With a dynamic blend of storytelling, theatre and autobiographical writing, the program explores a different theme each year. The children each write an autobiographical story. At the end of each year Streetside produces and anthology.
Christine Young (Project Director) reads a story from the anthology, titled "My First Time Flying on My Bike". As enthralled as I was with the story and the way that a child can pick up on details in life and communicate these details to others - I am also absolutely sure my fifth grade child would read this book cover to cover and then read it again! Christine Young gives a heartfelt presentation and includes a quote from a child who was in the program: " I learned that my story can be useful somehow." I cannot help but get a sense of how exciting it must be to help children get to this point in their writing skills.
Since the requests for Streetside's services have far outweighed what the organization can currently fulfill, Streetside has begun a Teacher Training Program where facilitators help teachers learn how to incorporate storytelling and theatre into their classrooms and use these techniques to teach writing to youth.
Streetside's current needs include $20,000 to hire two new facilitators and $5,000 towards production expense of the student anthology. Streetside also needs pro bono web design, graphic design, book design, and accounting services.

2951 Derby Street #101
The Professional Enrichment Program (PEP) is a coalition of leading San Francisco Bay Area arts organizations partnering to sponsor professionally-oriented theatrical activities which enable and support people from non-traditional groups, particularly members of the disabled community.
Professionalism, Skilled Performers, and emPowerment, are the thoughts that come to mind after listening to Pamela Walker's impassioned explanation of the mission of PEP. Before you even think, "nonprofit organization for the disabled," Pamela Walker turns that idea inside out and shows you that PEP is about giving their members the skills to compete with mainstream performers and break down the barriers as well as dispel misconceptions regarding professional performers from the disabled community.
During a frustrating attempt to cast skilled performers with disabilities for a production at The Magic, it was discovered that there was a marked difference in the professionalism of the performers with more disabilities than those who were less disabled. PEP was formalized in 1997 to help integrate disabled performers with those from the mainstream.
PEP offers affordable classes, programs, and training materials. PEP encourages diversity, facilitating working relationships with theater workers form various experience levels - disabled and non-disabled alike.
PEP's 2001 goal is workshopping its Alchemy Works Project. PEP has a goal to complete a full production in 2002. The organization feels that their members would be best served by being able to participate in a full performance, since this would raise skills beyond what is learned through workshops and classes. They also believe that this will provide an opportunity for their members to perform with skilled professionals. Since skilled professionals do not need to attend classes and PEP's target population is not beginners but rather those who have had their careers blocked by barriers, the performance would be a way to get the two groups together and enhance each group's skills along with enhancing each group's understanding of the other.
PEP needs $45,000 to do the future shows and also needs in-kind or financial support to do a six month strategic planning process ($15,000) which will "give (PEP) the blueprints for building bridges beyond the current projects and help (PEP) plan for sustainability".

CELL (Collectively Explorative Learning Labs) is the artists and educators collective which sustains CELLspace, a multidisciplinary arts center whose mission is to provide a safe and supportive public environment for the exploration of art, education, performance and community building.
The final organization to present was CELLspace. CELLspace, located on Bryant Street in the Mission, currently houses a dance/theatre/performance space, eight visual artists' studios, classroom spaces, a wood shop, an audio-visual production lab, a digital-video editing lab, a visual arts gallery, a sewing loft, a sound studio for recording/rehearsal, a metal shop and a craft loft. CELLspace conducts a variety of on-site classes and the gallery holds monthly exhibits.
Jonathan Youtt (President, Board of Directors) proudly tells the audience that CELLspace has always been able to earn its own overhead with it's D.I.Y. (Do-it-Yourself) attitude which incorporates a lot of volunteerism, some entrepreneurship and the necessary amount of passion. Many artists who do not have access to government funded arts facilities use CELLspace because of its low fees. CELLspace also collects membership dues, sells artwork, and charges for tickets to performances. Everything is kept affordable, so people can and do pay.
CELLspace's lease will continue until 2013, which means most of the fundraising efforts will go towards facility improvements and developing outreach programs. The landlord has also offered to sell the adjacent lot. CELLspace is looking for funds to underwrite a strategic planning process to create a building for Community Workers Affordable Housing, which will house artists, teachers and social service workers. In response to the California energy crisis, CELLspace would like to become a model of sustainability and urban permaculture with an array of solar panels, wind generators, water catchment and rooftop storage tanks that will water rooftop gardens. They would like to work with local youth to install the equipment. This would help make CELLspace sustainable and at the same time provide a training opportunity for youth in a field of work that should see substantial growth in the near future.
After each presentation, funders were encouraged to ask questions, and at the end of all the presentations there was time to look at all the booths and meet with the organizations. This was a wonderful opportunity for these organizations to find assistance that they may not have otherwise had the opportunity to receive. After the event, Jonathan Youtt (CELLspace) expressed gratitude that the Craigslist Foundation provided the participating organizations with a full copy of the attendees so that they may do follow-up with potential funders. Jo Kreiter (Flyaway Productions) told SFAM, "the Forum offered me an opportunity I have been seeking. I have had a lurking sense of potential support from people in business, marketing, high tech, as well as the foundation network but I had not been able to identify and meet those people. With the Forum event, Craigslist Foundation is fostering community, care, and real support... I am hopeful and enthusiastic as I start to follow up with people I met."

Lockdown Easing - NOT SO FAST
That combination of herd mentality and inability to interrogate sources, or even perform the most basic of investigations, and desire to bring their readers good news about the Covid-19 pandemic, has led our free and fearless press to an all too predictable scramble to say that it will all be over by the occasion of the Summer Solstice.
So keen to see a way for life to return to the kind of normality that will not inconvenience Themselves Personally Now, the assembled hacks and pundits have failed to stop and think about the underlying reality: the June 21st date is the very earliest point where all restrictions could be lifted, and the virus could all too easily return to wreak further deadly havoc. After all, it has, whisper it quietly, not actually gone away, and nor will it.
So while the odious flannelled fool Master Harry Cole, still pretending to be a real journalist as political editor of the Murdoch Sun, and his opposite number Jason Groves at the Daily Mail, moan about how many months any ending of restrictions is going to take, Sam Coates at Sky News has noticed that SAGE's latest advice is not quite so upbeat.
Dated February 7th, the opening paragraph shows what Cole, Groves and their pals in the press cohort aren't telling their readers. And it makes for grim reading. "Four scenarios have been modelled that differ in the speed of easing restrictions from current levels to minimal measures. All four scenarios modelled lead to a substantial resurgence in hospital admissions and deaths". That's in addition to the 130,000 or so deaths we already have.
There is more. "The scale and timing of these resurgences are critically dependent on very uncertain modelled assumptions, including real world vaccine effectiveness against severe disease and infection … Given this uncertainty, it would be inadvisable to tie changes in policy to dates instead of data". Easing could happen later. A lot later.
It gets worse. "Unless vaccine efficacy is significantly better than assumed here, it is highly likely that hospital occupancy would be higher than that seen in January 2021, if all restrictions are lifted by the start of May". Then a reminder: "As restrictions are relaxed virus transmission will increase. The more slowly restrictions are relaxed, the greater the number of hospitalisations and deaths prevented by vaccination and hence it would be less likely that restrictions would need to be reimposed later to avoid hospitals being put under extreme pressure". The watchword has to be Caution.
Hence "It would take several weeks after lifting one set of restrictions to determine whether it is safe to take the next step", and another reminder - "Maintaining baseline measures to reduce transmission once restrictions are lifted is almost certain to save many lives and minimise the threat to hospital capacity". Face coverings. Distancing. Hand washing.
It is possible that vaccination will reduce transmission, as well as preventing anything more than mild symptoms in the vast majority of the population. So in that case, SAGE is being unduly cautious. But being incautious has not served alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and his pals so well up until now. So caution it is going to be.
That means the press needs to get real about timescales, and stop trying to push the Government into moves which could see tens of thousands more needless deaths. Once again, we see the exercise of power without responsibility. And that's not good enough.

The tory press (i.e. All of it) doesn't care about human lives.
Never has, never will.
Same applies to the tory party, New Labour, and Cleggy LibDems.
It's the main reason Britain has become a far right racist shit hole owned and run by lying spivs in suits.
J 23 February 2021 at 11:29
Interesting that now that they have already killed a load of old tory voters and vaccinated the rest... that they want to open schools and spread covid to the one group that will get the vaccinations last (50 and under) that didn't vote tory last time. Its almost as if they have figured "lets kill Labour voters, because we killed to many tory voters last time".
I'm sure Toby "not really a twat, but actually a massive bellend who shits his bed while cry wanking"(1) Young, and all the gimps at spiked, will be crying into their advertising earnings account at the thought of not being able to be anti-lockdown contrarian for cash... Mind you my guess is they will be screaming for more lockdown as soon as the earnings dip because no one is reading their anti-lockdown pages.
(1: I wonder if the freeze peach absolutist will be upset about that bit of free speech; because we all know its true.)
Whilst a recent document, this SPI-M paper from the 7th Feb is out of date. Predictions from all four of these modelled scenarios are critically sensitive to some of the uncertain inputs, principally the ability of vaccines to block transmission and their ability to prevent severe disease. Recent data, reported this week and no doubt available to Ministers and advisors earlier, show the assumptions from the SPI-M paper were very conservative. Chris Whitty presented these studies last night. Vaccines are much better at blocking transmission than assumed, and even with a single dose are extremely effective at preventing severe disease.
In short, the predictions of hospitalisations and deaths forecast in these scenarios are incorrect. That's not to suggest the modelling is poor, it is just that predictions are sensitive to uncertain inputs, and cautious estimates may be wrong.

'June 21st: life back to normal'.
You'd have to be smoking some pretty strong stuff to think that is going to happen. No chance.
Have you been vaccinated. we should be told !
I have, and it was not a pleasant 10 days following!
@01:32.
Yes, I've been vaccinated. I was seen at the exact appointment time and back home within fifteen minutes. The clinic was meticulous and spotlessly hygienic. The marvellous NHS.
Never felt the injection and I've had no reaction of any description.
I am pleased you did not have my experience of "brain fog" etc etc !
Pendragon 25 February 2021 at 20:18
I had the AstraZeneca vaccine five weeks ago. After the jab, which was given early and before the appointment time, I had to sit and wait for 15 minutes to see if I would suffer any short-term ill-effects to it.
Only after that was I allowed to drive home.
Of course there may be a different procedure if you are given the Pfizer vaccine

Wow! New York Times "experts" explains why "older" white population shouldn't get vaccines first…
New York Times experts explain that older populations shouldn't get the vaccine first because they're whiter. Seriously.
Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, said that it is reasonable to put essential workers ahead of older adults, given their risks, and that they are disproportionately minorities. "Older populations are whiter, " Dr. Schmidt said. "Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit."…
Marc Lipsitch, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, argued that teachers should not be included as essential workers, if a central goal of the committee is to reduce health inequities.
"Teachers have middle-class salaries, are very often white, and they have college degrees," he said. "Of course they should be treated better, but they are not among the most mistreated of workers."
WTH?!
Yes, it makes me recall RBG's infamous defense of abortion which she believes would be used to "get rid of populations we don't want to have too many of." Looks like we no longer want white people.
The only thing that surprises me is that people are saying this stuff out loud in The New York Times without consequence. I thought we were at leave three years from that. Guess, the timetable moved up.
So, never mind that older people are prone to dying from Covid. They're white so…who cares?
Gutterball Master
That sign in the picture is enlightening. "White people suck." She (I assume) is white. She sucks. Got it. She's like the rest of us: we all suck. Confession is good for that. Advent is a good time to go.
My blog Wondering Zygote Emeritus
That is always good advice.
"We can start to level the playing field a bit." Wow, that is a chilling statement; basically advocating that we kill off segments of the population in the name of equality. What's next? Are they going to ask about my age, income, gender, and ethnicity if I ever call 911 to see if I deserve help? That's the problem here — the left only sees equality in terms of taking things away, not raising people up. Because without a victimized underclass, who would the left demonize? Who would continue to vote for them?
I was born into situational poverty on the farm, did 18 months in Viet-Nam and Cambodia, worked the night shift (double shifts on weekends) to put myself through university, worked and saved all my life, paid off my house at 70, had my job pulled out from under me at 71 (but it's okay; I saved) – I'm not going to die off to please some callow twit and his or her Darwinian / Hitlerian ideology.
That is exactly what it is.
Restore-DC-Catholicism
The thinking behind the NYT piece is right out of Hitler's playbook. However, given the many problems with the vaccines, chief of which is the theft of murdered babies' babies, that could be a blessing in disguise.

Q: How to update mongodb schema after created the model I have a node.js app uses express and mongoose,
I have created my model as below
const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

const userSchema = new Schema(
  {
    name: { type: String, required: true },
    email: { type: String, required: true },
  },
  {
    timestamps: true,
  }
)

const User = mongoose.model("User", userSchema);

module.exports = Lead;

and i am trying to add a new field here, so the schema objects looks like this
{
    name: { type: String },
    email: { type: String },
    mynewfield: {type: String }
  },

but when I create a new record as follows it doesn't write this new field into my database,
const newUser = new User({
    name: 'John Doe',
    email: 'john@email.com',
    mynewfield: 'some value'
});

new record looks like this
{
    name: 'John Doe',
    email: 'john@email.com',
}

I have tried update updateMany but this is only updating the existing records it doesn't work when creating a new record.
What is the best way to add this new field into my schema so when i create a new entry it will be included?

A: You have to set { strict: false } to add new field in schema. Check the doc:  strict
const thingSchema = new Schema({..}, { strict: false });
const thing = new Thing({ iAmNotInTheSchema: true });
thing.save(); // iAmNotInTheSchema is now saved to the db!!

The data comes from web measurement firm SimilarWeb, which tracked a 28% increase in referral traffic from eBay to Argos.
Obviously it's impossible to say whether the click-and-collect deal is entirely responsible for the increase in traffic, but it's likely to have had some impact on referrals.
The service is currently operating in 150 Argos stores and shoppers can take delivery from 40 eBay sellers, including those listed here.
It's no surprise that eBay has acted to create its own click-and-collect partnership as the service is becoming increasingly popular with shoppers.
Similarly, a survey conducted by Econsultancy in August found that almost two-thirds of consumers (63%) have bought products online before collecting them in-store at least once in the past 12 months, while 16% use reserve-and-collect at least once a month.
The Argos deal also isn't the first time that eBay has timed a foray into offline retail to coincide with Christmas.
In November 2011 eBay opened a pop-up shop on London's Oxford Street that was based entirely around instant purchasing via QR codes.
The shop didn't have any checkouts, so to make a purchase customers were asked to scan a product's QR code using a smartphone, which in turn directed them to the payment section of the eBay website.
Then in 2012 the online retailer opened a similar store in Covent Garden, though this time it came with the addition of augmented reality.
The idea was partly to give inspiration for Christmas gifts, but also to showcase eBay's range of mobile apps.
Ebay expected a third of Christmas purchases to be made through mobile in 2012, though the percentage was predicted to be even higher than that for fashion and homewares.
Will The Information's bold paywall strategy work?
'The Information' makes a case for smaller publishers adopting a paywall.
This is just a brief companion to an article I wrote yesterday entitled do publishers' paywalls kill sociability?, in which I asked a few questions around the subject of online publications asking readers to pay for content which they have traditionally enjoyed for free.
As this focussed mainly on larger newspapers, at the end of the post I suggested that I would follow up the article with a focus on smaller, start-up publishers and whether a paywall might be suitable for them or not.
This recent example was brought to my attention and I feel it makes for an interesting case-study.

Le tremplin de Schattenberg, en allemand Schattenbergschanze, est un stade de saut à ski situé à Oberstdorf en Allemagne. Le stade est doté de deux tremplins distincts, l'un de 90 mètres et le second de 120 mètres. Ce grand tremplin est l'un des plus importants de la Coupe du monde de saut à ski. Il accueille chaque année la première étape de la Tournée des quatre tremplins.

Histoire

Débuts
Un premier tremplin de saut à ski existait déjà à Oberstdorf depuis 1909. Le record de saut à ski de celui-ci était de 22m et appartenait à Bruno Biehler.  L'emplacement n'était toutefois pas optimal, notamment en raison de l'ensoleillement. La courte course d'élan et les distances dès lors limitées ont incité le Ski Club d'Oberstdorf (communément avec le Comité des Sports de l'office du Tourisme) à se mettre en quête d'un emplacement pour la construction d'un nouveau tremplin plus moderne. Le lieu de prédilection à l'ouest d'Oberstdorf, situé au pied de la Schattenberg, semblait tout à fait approprié, car l'endroit était la plupart du temps à l'ombre et le terrain appartenait à la commune.

1925 à 1941
Le  fut ouvert le nouveau tremplin de saut à ski, construit sur les plans de l'architecte Hans Schwendiger. Il fut agrandi dès 1930 pour les Championnats Allemands et en 1936 pour les qualifications aux Jeux Olympiques de Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Le tremplin fut abandonné durant la deuxième guerre mondiale. La dernière compétition se tint en 1941.

1946 à 1986
La réouverture eut lieu  à la suite de travaux de rénovation. Le , un saut se déroula pour la première fois dans le cadre de la tournée des quatre tremplins. Celle-ci, avec le saut d'Oberstdorfer à la fin décembre, est de nos jours la plus importante série de sauts de la saison.
L'ancienne installation en bois, qui fut aménagée et agrandie jusqu'au niveau K-70, ne fut bientôt plus adaptée aux distances  de saut des skieurs, toujours en hausse. Afin de pouvoir offrir une alternative d'urgence au tremplin Heini Klopfer  pour les championnats du monde de vol à ski de 1973, on construisit un tremplin de niveau K-115 en béton armé et bois stratifié, ainsi que le tremplin de niveau K-56.

1987 à 2003
Les épreuves de saut à ski des championnats du monde de ski nordique de 1987 se sont déroulées sur les tremplins normal et grand. La tour de bois du tremplin normal, de niveau K-90 désormais, fut remplacée par une tour en béton armé et bois stratifié. Deux petits tremplins supplémentaires (de niveau K-19 et K-30 et destinés aux juniors) furent construits en 1997 et le grand tremplin fut doté d'un ascenseur incliné. À la fin de l'année 2003, le tremplin de niveau K-115 fut remplacé par un tremplin de niveau K-120 (aujourd'hui de niveau HS-137), cela pour la somme de 16,6 millions d'euros, dans la perspective des championnats du monde de ski nordique de 2005. Celui-ci doit rendre possible des distances de saut plus longues tout en assurant une plus grande sécurité. Tous les sauts peuvent être effectués sur revêtement synthétique depuis 2004. Chaque été, une coupe continentale de saut sur synthétique a lieu sur le tremplin normal. La zone spectateurs à l'arrivée a été améliorée avec la construction de tribunes supplémentaires. Sa capacité en termes de spectateurs a été augmentée de 17 000 à 27 000 personnes.

2004 à 2010
Depuis le , le Tremplin de Schattenberg porte officiellement le nom d'Erdinger Arena. La brasserie Erdinger Weissbräu a conclu un contrat de parrainage (naming) de dix ans pour le tremplin. Cette forme de sponsoring, qui jusque-là n'était répandue que pour les stades de football ou les grandes salles de sport, a représenté une nouveauté dans le domaine du ski. Le contrat doit couvrir un déficit d'exploitation de 150 000 euros, que la société d'exploitation rencontre chaque année à la suite des transformations qui ont été faites sur l'installation. Le tremplin ne put néanmoins pas être nommé « Erdinger Arena » durant la coupe du monde du ski nordique de 2005. En raison de conflits d'intérêts avec d'autres sponsors du secteur brassicole soutenant les championnats du monde et la FIS, l'enceinte fut dénommée « WM Skisprung Arena Oberstdorf » à cette occasion. En , la décision de reconstruire le tremplin de 100 mètres durant l'année 2011 fut prise.

Depuis 2011
Du  jusqu'en , des travaux de rénovations furent menés sur l'ancien tremplin de 100 mètres, désormais transformé en un nouveau tremplin de 106 mètres. Le nouveau tremplin de niveau K-95 devait être terminé en novembre, mais les travaux furent menés à terme avec un mois d'avance. Celui-ci fut donc inauguré le  par l'équipe nationale féminine, les cadres B du combiné nordique ainsi que les juniors d'Oberstdorf. Les coûts de construction s'élèvent à environ cinq millions d'euros.

Rosa Dorothea Ritter, född 1759, död 1833, var mätress till Vilhelm I av Hessen 1779-1788.

Hon var dotter till Johann Georg Ritter och Maria Magdalena Witz. Hon blev den andra av tre mätresser till Vilhelm I, och fick åtta barn under sin tid som mätress. Bland dem märks Carl och Julius von Haynau. Hon efterträdde Charlotte Christine Buissine. Då hon 1788 fick barn vägrade dock Vilhelm I att erkänna barnet som sitt och spärrade in henne på slottet Babelhausen för otrohet. Hon slapp senare ut och gifte 1794 om sig med kammarrådet Johann Georg Kleinhans. Hon efterträddes av Karoline von Schlotheim.

Designed by gardener Gail Loos, the Green Cycler is a cool idea that could make pre-composting fun. It's a hand-cranked composting aid that speeds up the process by grinding up your plant waste before you add it to your compost pile and I could definitely use one. The compost in my Sun-Mar drum composter looks like an un-fruit salad with intact apple cores, pineapple skins and orange peels that aren't breaking down because they're too big. With the Green Cycler, I have no doubt that my kids would grind our compostables down and they'd even fight to be the one doing the cranking.

Through negotiation on Enbloc's Partnership scheme, the contract for Avecia's new modular bulk fill facility was a welcome challenge for Enbloc. Avecia required an extension to their ABC2000 plant to match visually both internally and externally. The brief included a preference for the extension to be modular and, therefore, built and fitted-out off site; Enbloc designed a painted steel module to match the existing grey facades.
The unit was fitted-out off-site (up to 70% complete) meaning on-site works were quickly finished once hook-ups were completed. The unit houses a Grade C bulk fill room and Grade D materials air locks with rapid roller doors and personnel changes both in and out of the main room, along with a plant area at one end.

Low Span Score Spurs Vital Replacement Work
Wed April 11, 2012 - Northeast Edition
Photo Courtesy of Justin G. Orient The existing five-span bridge will be completely demolished (including concrete piers and abutments). Then a new three-span bridge will be constructed in its place, which will be aligned slightly downstream from the exi
Eighty-two years can take a lot out of a bridge, particularly when the area in which it was built has experienced a dramatic growth in population and, therefore, traffic. Such is the case with a bridge in still bucolic, but increasingly busy, Bucks County, Pa.
Located just outside Doylestown Borough, the bridge at Lower State and Almshouse Roads has carried traffic of all kinds — two- and four-footed as well as wheeled conveyances of various sorts — over the Neshaminy Creek in ever-increasing numbers. The most recent count stands at 13,500 vehicles per day. Built in 1930, the original bridge was 212 ft. (64.6 m) long and 24 ft. (7.3 m) wide. It also was constructed with five support piers, which have interfered with water flow and caused flooding on more than one occasion over the years.
Now a part of Castle Valley Park, a unique 3.8-acre spot retrieved from what was just a dumping ground in 1999, the bridge also has seen its fair share of damage from natural causes, such as storms knocking huge trees onto it and water corrosion, as well.
Declared structurally deficient when it received a rating of just 17.4 out of a possible 100, the bridge has waited a long time for replacement work to begin.
Now, the work has not only begun, but also has moved at a steady pace since J.D. Eckman Inc., Atgen, Pa., won the project, which was let for public bidding in December 2010, and worked with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) through some changes to the plan.
According to Project Manager Justin Orient, the project entails, "some initial clearing and grubbing work to remove trees for utility relocation and to facilitate a slightly new roadway alignment of Lower State Road with the intersection of Almshouse Road. The existing five-span bridge will be completely demolished [including concrete piers and abutments]. Then a new three-span bridge will be constructed in its place, which will be aligned slightly downstream from the existing bridge."
The new, three-span bridge will be a composite pre-stressed concrete spread box beam structure, 40 ft. (12 m) wide with two travel lanes and two shoulders at a cost of $3.5 million.
It also will have, Orient explained, "approximately 6,000 square feet of architectural treatment [stone facing on the concrete abutments, piers and bridge parapets]. Form liners will be used when the concrete is poured and then the stone surfaces will be stained to match the adjacent Route 202 Parkway. Then the new roadway will be paved and the area will be top soiled and seeded for permanent stabilization."
The project, which began in April 2011, has gone smoothly after some initial delays and rethinking the way in which it should be done.
"Initially we had some utility relocation to deal with and that delayed the start of our work significantly," stated Orient. "The project was originally designed as a two-stage process in which we would demolish and build the right half of the bridge and then switch traffic over and repeat the process on the left side. At the end of 2011 PennDOT approached J.D. Eckman with the idea to completely close down the road and to build the bridge as a complete unit, rather than in stages.
"After some meetings and discussions with PennDOT officials and local representatives, the go-ahead was given in December 2011 to close the entire bridge and detour the traffic until the bridge was complete. This change benefits both PennDOT, by completing the work sooner and creating a better finished product, and J.D. Eckman with easier construction and continuity. In other words, we will be able to build complete walls, piers and bridge deck as opposed to constructing it in half where there would be rebar couplers and extra construction joints in the concrete."
There have been surprisingly few other issues so far, considering the somewhat awkward location of the bridge, which is very close to a number of creek-side homes and several construction zones for the Route 202 Parkway (711).
"The biggest challenge will be working alongside the Neshaminy Creek and de-watering our pier and abutment excavations in order to construct the footing of the bridge. The Route 202 work hasn't impacted us so far, except in the early stages when the contractor had to close Almshouse Road to complete some of their re-construction work which delayed the initial start of our project for a couple months. Other than that there hasn't really been any impact one way or another from that. Another challenge was coming up with a way to keep demolition debris and slurry out of the Neshaminy Creek. The job site superintendent came up with the idea to construct a temporary floating 'barge' or work platform that was used to catch the debris," Orient stated.
At this time, crews seem on target for completing the work on schedule. The current contract completion date is April 2013. Aside from J.D. Eckman's six men onsite, Orient said there would be subcontractors on and off the site throughout the project's duration.
"There will be approximately ten subcontractors for us on this project. They will perform items of work within the contract that may include electrical/traffic signal control, stay-in-place bridge form installation, maintenance and protection of traffic [MPT], landscaping and E&S controls, pavement markings, tree clearing and grubbing, concrete cutting [bridge demolition], guiderail and sign installation and concrete curb/sidewalk installation," said Orient.
Equipment being used on the job includes a Cat 430D-IT backhoe, a Komatsu PC308USLC excavator, a Case CX330 excavator, a Link-Belt 28T crane, a flatbed truck, an Ingersoll Rand 185 portable air compressor and miscellaneous small hand tools.

Mutual Interference in the Microchemical Determination of Ore Minerals
Dreyer, Robert Marx (1937) Mutual Interference in the Microchemical Determination of Ore Minerals. Master's thesis, California Institute of Technology. doi:10.7907/Q8JE-0D18. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechTHESIS:03282010-114752089
The use of microchemical methods is spreading rapidly, both for the qualitative and quantitative determination of elements. Microchemistry offers a decided advantage over "bulk" methods, not only because of the greater speed with which the determinations can be carried out, but also because of the very small amounts of material required for a test. Microchemical methods are particularly valuable in determining the composition of the small inclusions in ores and metallurgical products.
Most of the reagents used are sufficiently sensitive to show the presence of 0.005 per cent or less of the desired element. Needless to say, if such minute quantities of an element are to be identified, it is essential that the procedure of the test be carefully followed and the utmost caution taken that there is no pollution of the reagent or the test drop. Despite such care, it frequently happens that the test obtained is not wholly satisfactory. Either the color of the precipitate is unusual, the form is changed or entirely different, or sometimes no test is obtained when previous observations have indicated that the element should be present. When such changes occur-and they occur frequently, even in the hands of skilled technicians-the observer is never certain whether they are due to variations in the PH of the solution, concentration of reagent or solution, or to the presence of some interfering anion or cation. The first two variables can be controlled by proper attention to the procedure of the test; in many cases the last variable-presence of an interfering anion or cation-is beyond control. Often, much time could be saved by recognizing that a given variation in the precipitate is caused by the presence of another element. In fact, some of the interferences are as characteristic of the interfering element as any other known test.
The presence of a variety of elements in the test drop is due either to a poor sample or to a complex mineral. A poor sample is obtained if the original area of the mineral or inclusion is too small. In this case, allowance can usually be made for the presence in the solution of elements of the host mineral, although their presence may cause notable interferences. Where the mineral varies in composition there may be no hint of the presence of elements, other than those expected in the mineral, until trouble is encountered in the testing.

At startup, the software displays a message indicating "autoload2009.scr" or similar is an invalid file name.
The file cannot be found because the version of AutoCAD that is currently installed and that corresponds to the .SCR file indicated in the message (in the above case, "2009"), is not compatible with the installed version of Promis.e.
Install a compatible version of AutoCAD. See the Compatibility Chart or Promis.e readme file to determine compatible versions.
Alternatively, if the project database schema has not yet been upgraded, it may be possible to uninstall Promis.e and install the previously used version that is compatible with the currently installed AutoCAD version.
Yet another alternative would be to switch to Promis.e Standalone which has an integrated drafting platform, eliminating the need to maintain AutoCAD licenses and upgrades to remain compatible with Promis.e.

For the months of December and January, the team at Pathways is continuing efforts behind the company-wide community outreach program by supplying necessary goods and other contributions to the Children's Advocacy Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
At the CAC, visiting children and adolescents will be given the opportunity to receive treatment services such as medical exams and assessments, forensic interviews, professional consultation, trauma therapy, counseling, case review, case tracking, child advocacy services, child abuse awareness and prevention education and overall – a safe, positive place to feel welcome and secure.
Throughout the month of December, we will also be collecting new, unwrapped toys for children aged 2-18 to help spread holiday spirit.
We will also be collecting hats, gloves and scarves so those in need can stay warm throughout these cold winter months. Other needed donations are juice boxes, small water bottles, and snacks that are provided to all children who visit the center.
It's never too late to start doing your part for someone in need. Interested in making a donation? Click here to learn more.


Yelp, the influential website for rating, denies that it tampers with reviews, but a federal court ruled the site can if it is so inclined, saying it would not be extortion.
The San Francisco Court of Appeals decision came in response to a suit filed by businesses that alleged Yelp had manipulated ratings as a way to extort companies into advertising.
One of the three judges in the panel wrote in the ruling that business owners might deem order of or posting of users reviews as being a threat or harm economically, but Yelp is not acting unlawfully by posting and sequencing the reviews.
The three-judge panel upheld the decision of a lower court in their ruling.
Yelp for a long time has been dogged by the accusations that its practice is to strong-arm businesses to advertise.
The lawsuit was dismissed previously be a lower court. It had alleged that Yelp would eliminate the positive reviews or would write its own negative reviews as a way to pressure companies into paying to advertise with them.
The plaintiffs attorney said that Yelp wants us to believe its reviews are accurate and honest, yet the real truth is the almighty dollar from advertising reflects who maintains the good reviews as well as who has them taken away.
The attorney added that small businesses could lose over the long run because of the ruling.
Yelp applauded the latest ruling and struck back verbally at accusations.
The company said that for years commentators have been accusing Yelp of altering ratings of businesses for money. However, Yelp has never done that and the individuals making the claims are misinformed or more likely have some form of axe to grind.
One plaintiff, John Mecurio said Yelp has removed 14 of his ratings that were five-star for his Santa Clara, California auto repair location after he had declined to purchases advertising at a rate of $500 per month.
He said that not only did the great reviews disappear, but also a new review of just 1 star appeared at the top of the listing of Yelp.
He said he has had sales drop by 30% since then.
