A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors. Sedaris is an amazing reader whose appearances draw hundreds, and his performancesincluding a jaw-dropping impression of Billie Holiday singing I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weinerare unforgettable. Sedariss essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest hes ever written. At last, someone even meaner than the French!

Q: How do I make a SLDS checkbox default to appear checked? I've built a Salesforce Lightning Design System page with some checkboxes on it.  The way SLDS implements checkboxes looks really odd to me.  I'd like to make one of those checkboxes to appear checked by default using the CSS framework without having to resort to adding JavaScript to the page to accomplish the task.
Unfortunately, it's unclear how to accomplish this using the SLDS CSS framework.  I've tried all sorts of stuff without success.
Any ideas?

A: Here's the solution:

                <input name="checkbox" type="checkbox" checked="true" id="mark-complete" />

                mark-complete

This is a checked checkbox

Facebook shaming better (and faster) than a cease and desist letter?
Two wrongs don't make a right. It is possible to construct a shaming post with neutral enough wording to convey the intended point without crossing the (gray and fuzzy) line into libel, but it's not likely, especially when you are angry.
And I think that's a good example of something that would be justified in a moral/ethical perspective in most peoples' minds, mine included, but the law never has a 'well they deserved it' perspective. You are always supposed to come to the court for relief instead of taking matters into your own hands.
Interesting, but if everything I said is true (and verifiable), why should I not state as much.
Isn't that what legitimizes Yelp reviews etc?
You aren't implying that my stating what they were doing was libel, are you?
Next time a Silicon Valley type offers his assistance, you could ask for a bot dedicated to scouring for your trademark names.
In the meantime, we'll be your bots. If we see your intellectual property being used, we'll give you a heads up.
I usually find these kinds of things funny, and I don't even try to correct them.
What got me riled this time is that this is a huge company, and I very nicely asked them to stop using our farm to sell produce 3 years ago. What they did was really beyond the pale, in terms of dishonesty.
With regard to Silicon Valley types -- They don't want to offer assistance, they want to buy small hobby farms and ★★★★ away their money, all the while undercutting prices on boutique produce.

It would be wise to periodically check that company's website to see if they start using your farm's name again. If they did it twice before, they're likely to do it a third time.
Truly shameless. I'm glad the facebook gottem this time... Cease and desist letter may have a more permanent effect. It would constitute grounds for you to take legal action if they repeat it once again. You don't need a lawyer to write one, but read up online for the correct way to diy. Not sure if the same as a "demand" letter where certain legal oddities are required - the words "Without Prejudice" have to appear on the page as well as the word "demand" in the letter itself, otherwise it will not hold water.
And then again, unless they can be proven to have damaged you in a way that is quantifiable ($$), you would probably never take them to court at great expense for nothing.
So maybe Facebook shaming is indeed the best way.
Good question. Truth is a defense, which most people know, but the problem is that it is an affirmative defense. That means when you make that claim, the burden of proof shifts to you, That tiny detail makes all the difference, as it puts you, the defendant, in the position of having to prove your innocence, which is usually virtually impossible, and almost always cost-prohibitive as a legal strategy.
Well amidst all the negative in this, and I would be angry too, I must say, Kudos to that Chef. I hope you asked him/her where they cook so you can also give a recommendation to anyone interested in where they can find true farm to table food by a Chef who verifies the information personally. It also goes to show you that there are some out there trying to do it right, and they are worth supporting.
Send them a bill for the stuff they claim to have used from your farm.
This Chef that showed up...did you tell him to go tell the other chefs what happened here today?

What To Do When Your Tooth is Knocked Out?
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, you have a dental emergency situation that requires an immediate attention of a dentist. When this episode happens, you must keep the tooth moist until you reach our office because the team of doctors at Jonathan H. Kim, D.D.S., Inc. – Top Best *8* San Jose Dentists Specialists Centers may re-implant a tooth as long as it's not completely dried out. The longer a knocked out tooth is left out of its socket, the more likely will be the failure of trying to reestablish the tooth. These knocked out teeth can often be re-implanted if it is replanted within minutes after the accident occurred and there is a greater chance the tooth will be retained for life. After the accident, the tooth should be handled by the crown or enamel portion not by the roots. If the tooth is dirty or contaminated, it should be rinsed with milk or water very gently. Do not use soap or any abrasive substance to clean the tooth. Submerge the tooth in milk and come to our office, Jonathan H. Kim, D.D.S., Inc. – Top Best *8* San Jose Dentists Specialists Centers, will try to save the tooth.
Try to place the tooth in the socket. Bite down gently on gauze to help keep in place.
Do NOT handle the roots of the tooth. Handle by the crown portion only.

Q: What topological properties are trivially/vacuously satisfied by any indiscrete space? A space $X$ is indiscrete provided its topology is $\{\emptyset,X\}$. With such a restrictive topology, such spaces must be examples/counterexamples for many other topological properties. Then my question is:

Question: What topological properties are trivially/vacuously satisfied by any indiscrete space?

A: Separation properties
Any indiscrete space is perfectly normal (disjoint closed sets can be separated by a continuous real-valued function) vacuously since there don't exist disjoint closed sets. But on the other hand, the only T0 indiscrete spaces are the empty set and the singleton.
Metrizability
Only the empty and singleton indiscrete spaces are metrizable, but every indiscrete space is compatible with the pseudometric $d(x,y)=0$ for all $x,y$.
Covering properties
Any indiscrete space is compact since its only open cover is finite to begin with ($\{X\}$).
Topological size
Every basis for an indiscrete space is finite ($\Rightarrow$ countable), so it is second-countable and therefore separable.
Connectedness
$X$ is the only nonempty clopen set, so indiscrete spaces are connected. They are also:

*

*Strongly connected, that is, the only continuous functions $f:X\to\mathbb R$ are constant.

*Hyperconnected, that is, all nonempty open sets intersect

*Ultraconnected, that is, all nonempty closed sets intersect

*Path connected since all maps [from $\mathbb R$] to $X$ are continuous. This strengthens to arc connected if the space has the cardinality of the reals or greater (as arc connected requires injectivity).

A: Indiscrete spaces are trivially second countable and regular. So they witness the necessity of "Hausdorff" in Urysohn's metrization theorem: "Every second countable Hausdorff regular space is metrizable."

A: Connectedness (which can be defined as "$O$ clopen implies $O=\emptyset$ or $O=X$", but in the indiscrete case, clopen can be even replaced by just open...).
Path-connectedness (as every map with codomain an indiscrete space is continuous automatically, so any function can be a path..).
Regular and normal as there are no closed sets to separate from disjoint closed sets or points outside..
Being first countable (and second countable) obviously, as well as Lindelöf, compact, countably compact etc. as there is but one open cover which is already finite.

A: From wikipedia A topological space is termed an indiscrete space if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
1/It has an empty subbasis.
2/It has a basis comprising only the whole space.
3/The only open subsets are the whole space and the empty subset.
4/The only closed subsets are the whole space and the empty subset.
5/The space is either an empty space or its Kolmogorov quotient is a one-point space.

Wikipedia: The Antidote (Ronny Jordan album)
The Antidote is the debut album by English jazz guitarist Ronny Jordan, that was released by Island Records in 1992.
Allmusic awarded the album with 4.5 stars. The album followed the release of the Miles Davis composition So What as a single, which was popularised by London DJs and went on to become a classic of the 1990s acid jazz genre. A second single, the smooth jazz-flavoured After Hours, became the first of many to reach the US R&B charts.
Wikipedia: Ronny Jordan
Ronald Laurence Albert Simpson, known as Ronny Jordan (29 November 1962 – 13 January 2014) was a British guitarist at the forefront of the acid jazz movement at the end of the twentieth century. Jordan described his music as "urban jazz," a blend of jazz, hip-hop, and R&B.

With the presidential election in the news almost as much as marijuana legalization, we thought it was high time to address both topics.
Although Clinton believes that marijuana should be reclassified as a schedule 2 drug, she is apprehensive to support legalization outright.
She frequently calls for more research to be done, most recently stating, "We should be learning what works and doesn't work," when a medical marijuana patient asked her about legal medical marijuana during the New Hampshire town hall.
Many are saying that because there is sufficient evidence to support legalization, she is using this answer as a way to dodge the question.
Clinton has said in the past that she supports legalized medical marijuana, as well as states experimenting with recreational legalization, but still hasn't fully endorsed the marijuana platform.
Critics claim that this unwillingness to commit either way on this issue is putting her out of touch with Millennial voters.
Bernie Sanders cares about your weed.
Back in November, Sanders introduced a bill that would allow states to decide whether or not they wanted to legalize recreational marijuana, and decriminalizing it on a federal level.
Sanders and his supporters claim that this bill would allow growers and dispensaries in the states access to banks, as it would no longer be federally illegal.
The state wants to go forward, they should be able to go forward without legal impediments from the federal government, and that's what this legislation is about.
Trump has taken a few interesting stances on marijuana throughout the years, beginning in 1990, when he called to legalize all drugs.
Trump says he's never tried marijuana. Regardless of how Trump feels about weed, we can all rest assured that legal marijuana sales in 2015 were $5.4 billion, which is more than Trump's net worth.
While this Bush sheepishly admitted to smoking weed roughly 40 years ago, it seems all of his high-flying days are behind him.
We're going to go out on a limb, here, and say that means he's against pretty much all legalization.
While Ted Cruz does not support legalizing marijuana, at least he does acknowledge that it should be left to individual state's discretion.
Oh, and he too smoked weed when he was young.
Rubio doesn't oppose medical marijuana, as long as it is FDA approved.

Exxon Refinery In Norway Closes Down
Johnna Crider
An ExxonMobil refinery in Norway closed down in June 2021 due to the country's stricter regulatory measures, Kaieteur News reported. Although this may be considered old news, there hasn't been much reporting that I'm aware of on it.
The article noted that Exxon cited Norway's evolving regulatory measures that govern the oil and gas industry among the reasons that it closed the refinery down. Norway has been pro-climate, and this has been especially reflected in its EV/auto market. Plugin vehicles were 86% of the country's car sales in 2021, and full electrics alone were 64.5%. Tesla dominated, with the Model 3 and Model Y ending up being the two best selling vehicles in the country. That led to Tesla being the best selling brand in the auto market, surpassing Volkswagen.
Exxon was considering closing down its oil refinery in Norway in 2020. Esso, which is a trading name for Exxon, then said it was too early to say when a final decision would be made. A spokesperson told Reuters, "In practice, it means that we would stop producing oil products at the refinery and instead we will import them."
The company also stated, "Refineries in Europe operate in an increasingly challenging market, characterized by falling demand and strong competition, leading to overcapacity in the market."
That was in 2020. In July 2021, Argus Media reported that Exxon said that continuing the operation of the refinery "is not economically viable over the long term" because of "strong competition, evolving regulatory measures, and falling demand."
Argus also added that around 60pc of Slagen's products were exported and that it was the fifth European refinery to halt completely since the Covid-19 pandemic. This brings the lost crude distillation capacity to over 600,000 barrels per day (b/d).
Kaieteur News noted that the Slagen refinery that was closed was producing 120,000 b/d, and for now, Norway's only refinery is the Mongstad plant, which is state-controlled and produces 200,000 b/d.

Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Sidman, Pennsylvania?
There are several drug treatment programs possibilities open to the people residing in the Sidman area. You should understand each one of the types of treatment choices available in Sidman, AB., so that you can pick the appropriate rehabilitation approach for yourself or someone you care about. Choosing the proper alcohol and drug treatment center in Sidman is an essential factor in the process of treating of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. The following information will help ensure you fully grasp your various treatment choices allowing you to have the highest potential for an effective end result.
Let's check out the different alcohol and drug rehab programs in Sidman, Pennsylvania choices that coincide with the circumstances of the individual looking for treatment.
Inpatient drug rehab in Sidman, AB. is a rehab choice ideal for people who will need medical intervention throughout treatment or clients with considerable drug use histories. Men and women will experience both mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Sidman is considered the most effective rehabilitation possibility in the majority of situations. Due to substance abuse and addiction, men and women will frequently not be able to recover using the minimal solutions made available from outpatient rehabilitation programs in Sidman, Pennsylvania where drugs remain easily available when they depart the outpatient center. Likewise, individuals in rehabilitation who take part in outpatient treatment as opposed to inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Sidman are still susceptible to detrimental relationships and circumstances which might compromise their process of recovery. When someone lives with an abusive companion or continues to maintain relationships which entail abusing drugs, any rehab endeavours in outpatient treatment are done in vain. This is the reason in-patient alcohol and drug treatment in Sidman, AB. will produce more tangible results that can prove long lasting unlike an outpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation program where advantages are often very limited and short-lived.
In Sidman there is both short-term and long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehab. Short-term is a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Sidman, Pennsylvania is more in depth and rehabilitation can last 3 to 6 months generally speaking. It is really an excellent environment for clients because it is a safe and secure drug free environment where they are able to recover both mentally and physically without distraction. Ideally, people proceed within a long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation center in Sidman for the maximum time frame allowed, in order to handle anything which may cut across their sobriety after they depart treatment. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require 2-3 weeks by itself, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Sidman will be time well spent and significantly more efficient than short-term facilities.
The main component of all if you or a loved one has a drug abuse or addiction issue is to do something about it, make calls and seek the advice of skilled addiction specialists and get an evaluation and rehab options to ensure the best chance for a recovery.

Q: Como usar o .replace() para remover strings em Python Eu estou fazendo um exercício do Coursera em Python. Nesse exercício ele pede para construir uma função em Python que recebe uma string (palavra) e remove os símbolos de pontuação. Ele me fornece uma lista de strings ["'", '"', ",", ".", "!", ":", ";", '#', '@'] e coloca como sugestão de resolução para o problema usar o método .replace() para strings.
O problema é que a sintaxe do .replace() é composta da forma: replace(old, new, count), onde os dois primeiros parâmetros são obrigatórios. Como resolver isso? No argumento _old_ coloco " " como espaço vazio?

A: A ideia é basicamente essa, mas é uma solução um pouco mais complicada que isso porque se trocar o símbolo por um espaço pode ser que fique dois espaços seguidos, o que seria errado, porém em alguns casos não terá um espaço em seguida e aí o espaço seria melhor porque juntar duas palavras será muito pior. O correto é fazer uma algoritmo um pouco mais sofisticado entendendo como trocar. Se fosse só esse padrão até seria mais simples, mas pode ter outros.
Como o exercício parece pedir só uma forma simples e só tem a intenção de de trocar um símbolo por um espaço então a solução que pensou de trocar o símbolo por um espaço é a adequada, mas deve colocar o espaço no parâmetro new que é o que ficará na conclusão. Algo assim:
texto = texto.replace('@', ' ')

Veja funcionando no ideone. E no repl.it. Também coloquei no GitHub para referência futura.
Se quiser se arriscar, e vale como experimento é trocar os espaço por nada. O nada são duas aspas seguidas e sem o espaço, algo assim:
texto = texto.replace('!', '')

Você teria que fazer vários comandos desses, um para cada símbolo que for "limpar". Isso é extremamente ineficiente, mas para um exercício não tem problema.
Alguém provavelmente irá sugerir usar um RegEx no replace() para ficar mais sofisticado, mas parece avançado para o que está aprendendo agora, e como dizem:

Quando você tenta resolver um problema com RegEx você passa ter dois problemas

A: Olhando na documentação do método replace, é dito que:

Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring old replaced by new

Ou seja, se você fizer string.replace('alguma coisa', 'outra coisa'), todas as ocorrências de "alguma coisa" serão substituídas por "outra coisa". E se no lugar de "outra coisa" você passar a string vazia ('' ou "" - repare que não há nada entre as aspas), o "alguma coisa" é trocado por "nada", o que na prática é o mesmo que remover o trecho "alguma coisa".
Sendo assim, se você deve obrigatoriamente usar somente replace e a lista de caracteres a serem removidos, não tem jeito, tem que remover um a um. Assim:
simbolos_pontuacao = ["'", '"', ",", ".", "!", ":", ";", '#', '@']
texto = 'Lorem: "ipsum" \'dolor\', sit! Amet; bla... bl@ #etc#, whiskas sache!!'
# para cada símbolo, remove-o da string
for c in simbolos_pontuacao:
    texto = texto.replace(c, '')

print(texto) # Lorem ipsum dolor sit Amet blabl etc whiskas sache

Não é lá muito eficiente porque cada chamada de replace cria uma nova string (por isso que eu preciso atribuir o retorno na variável texto).
Para quem gosta de uma "pegada" mais funcional, também dá para usar reduce:
from functools import reduce
texto = reduce(lambda t, s: t.replace(s, ''), simbolos_pontuacao, texto)

Que no fundo faz a mesma coisa que o loop, só que com mais overhead...
Enfim, usando replace, não tem muito como fugir disso. Mas existem outras formas de fazer.

Outra forma é percorrer cada caractere da string e verificar se ela pertence à lista. Então eu junto todos que não pertencem e monto outra string:
texto = ''.join(c for c in texto if c not in simbolos_pontuacao)

Também não deve ser muito eficiente porque para cada caractere da string eu tenho que percorrer toda a lista simbolos_pontuacao para verificar se o caractere é um dos que devem ser removidos (como o operador in faz uma busca linear, a lista será percorrida várias vezes).
Uma alternativa é trocar a lista por um set, pois a busca em set's é mais rápida se comparado a uma lista:
# usar set em vez de lista
simbolos_pontuacao = {"'", '"', ",", ".", "!", ":", ";", '#', '@'}
texto = ''.join(c for c in texto if c not in simbolos_pontuacao)

Outra alternativa é usar regex. Como todos os símbolos da lista só tem um caractere, posso juntá-los em uma classe de caracteres: ['",.!:;#@]. Assim, a substituição é feita de uma vez:
import re

r = re.compile(f'[{"".join(simbolos_pontuacao)}]')
texto = r.sub('', texto)

Se algum elemento da lista simbolos_pontuacao tivesse mais de um caractere, aí eu não poderia usar a classe de caracteres. Por exemplo, se tivesse ab na lista, então [ab] não serviria, pois isso significa "a letra a ou a letra b". Neste caso, eu tenho que usar alternância:
# incluí um elemento com mais de um caractere
simbolos_pontuacao = ['...', "'", '"', ",", "!", ":", ";", '#', '@']
texto = 'Lorem: "ipsum" \'dolor\', sit! Amet; bla... bl@ #etc#, whiskas sache!!'

import re

r = re.compile(f'({"|".join(map(re.escape, simbolos_pontuacao))})')
texto = r.sub('', texto)

print(texto) # Lorem ipsum dolor sit Amet blabl etc whiskas sache

Neste caso a regex se tornou (\.\.\.|'|"|,|!|:|;|\#|@). Repare que o ponto foi escrito como \., já que ele possui significado especial em regex (significa "qualquer caractere, exceto quebras de linha"), então para que ele corresponda a somente o caractere ., tenho que escapá-lo com \, e isso é feito por re.escape.
No primeiro caso eu não precisei do escape porque os metacaracteres "perdem seus poderes" quando estão dentro de colchetes (nesse caso eu só precisaria escapar os próprios colchetes).

A: TL;DR
Usando str.translate é performático porém funciona apenas se as strings recebidas forem de apenas 1 caractere.
chars = ["'", '"', ",", ".", "!", ":", ";", '#', '@']
texto = 'Lorem: "ipsum" \'dolor\', sit! Amet; bla... bl@ #etc#, whiskas sache!!'

resultado = texto.translate(str.maketrans('', '', "".join(chars)))
# 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit Amet bla bl etc whiskas sache'

Explicação
Vou deixar aqui mais um método não abordado nas outras respostas ainda, que seria o método str.translate.
O método str.translate recebe uma "tabela de tradução" que deve ser um objeto que permita acesso indexado, como dicionários ou listas, onde o índice acessado é um inteiro representando o Unicode Code Point do caracterer (ver ord()) e o item acessado deve retornar o caractere substituto ou None para não incluir no resultado. Veja um exemplo de uso:
tabela = {
    ord("a"): "A",
    ord("b"): "*",
    ord("c"): None,
}
texto = "a-b-c-d"

print(texto.translate(tabela))    # 'A-*--d'

Estou montando esta tabela "na mão" para fins demonstrativos, mas geralmente se usa o método estático str.maketrans para criá-la com mais facilidade. A mesma tabela acima poderia ser criada assim:
tabela = str.maketrans("ab", "A*", "c")
texto = "a-b-c-d"

print(texto.translate(tabela))  # 'A-*--d'

Explicando melhor o str.maketrans, ele pode receber 1, 2 ou 3 argumentos:

*

*1 argumento: o argumento deve ser um dicionário (ou algum mapping) cujas chaves são inteiros (Unicode  Code Points) ou string com tamanho 1. Exemplo:
tabela = str.maketrans({
    97: 'A',  # ord('a') == 97
    'b': 66,  # ord('B') == 66
    'c': 'C',
    'd': None,
})

print(tabela)
# {
#     97: 'A',
#     98: 66,
#     99: 'C',
#     100: None,
# }

*2 argumentos: ambos devem ser strings e devem ter o mesmo tamanho. A tabela resultante mapeará chaves e valores com os mesmos índices nas strings. Exemplo:
tabela = str.maketrans('abcd', 'ABCD')

print(tabela)
# {
#     97: 65,
#     98: 66,
#     99: 67,
#     100: 68,
# }

*3 argumentos: segue o mesmo padrão de 2 argumentos, porém o 3º argumento será uma string contendo os caracteres que devem ser mapeados para None. Exemplo:
tabela = str.maketrans('abc', 'ABC', 'd')

print(tabela)
# {
#     97: 65,
#     98: 66,
#     99: 67,
#     100: None,
# }

Então bastaria usar a tabela criada pelo str.maketrans no str.translate. Como ficaria em uma função:
def remove_chars(string, chars):
    return string.translate(str.maketrans('', '', "".join(chars)))

Performance
Criei um Repl.it com 4 abordagens diferentes para o problema:

*

*Usando str.translate:
def remove_chars_translate(string, chars):
    return string.translate(str.maketrans('', '', "".join(chars)))

*Usando generator expressions como mencionado em outra resposta:
 def remove_chars_gen_comprehension(string, chars):
     return "".join(c for c in string if c not in chars)

*Mesma anterior, porém usando set para pesquisar caracteres:
 def remove_chars_gen_comprehension_with_set(string, chars):
     chars = set(chars)
     return "".join(c for c in string if c not in chars)

*Usando regex (também extraída da outra resposta):
 def remove_chars_regex(string, chars):
     r = re.compile(f'({"|".join(map(re.escape, chars))})')
     return r.sub('', texto)

Os resultados na minha máquina (com 1_000_000 iterações) foram:
                  remove_chars_translate:  1.6842 s
          remove_chars_gen_comprehension: 11.0966 s
 remove_chars_gen_comprehension_with_set:  4.2422 s
                      remove_chars_regex:  5.9396 s

Obs.: Diminuí o número de iterações do timeit no Repl.it pra não demorar muito para ter resultados (tinham resultados passando dos 30s).

A: O Replace funciona como vai percorrer sua string buscando por ocorrência do valor passado no parâmetro old, e quando ele encontra esse valor na string, substitui pelo valor passado no segundo parâmetro.
O parâmetro count representa quantos ocorrências você quer que seja substituída na string, suponde que você tenha mais de uma ocorrência do valor pesquisado.
texto = 'Hello World';

texto.replace('llo', 'troquei');

#Hetroquei World

texto.replace('l','L', 2);

#HeLLo World


Wichita, Ks., Jan. 21 -- As usual for the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, Operation Rescue made plans for demonstrations and rallies throughout the weekend. Those plans were put on hold for Operation Rescue president, Troy Newman, when on the afternoon of January 21, he was arrested outside of a Wichita abortion clinic and jailed for "littering."
"We have been in front of this abortion clinic counseling moms for years. But yesterday you could tell something had changed by the way the police were acting. One police officer confiscated the coat of a pro-life counselor's son. Apparently all the young boy had done was to set it down beside him. Later yesterday, a police officer confiscated blankets and baby-gifts from our sidewalk counselor--she usually gives these items as gifts to new moms. The police officer said the items were a potential health code violation."

All New 2013 Ford Escape – First Drive
April 19, 2012 Ford, Special Media2013, EcoBoost, Escape, Ford, SF, SUVMike Dell
I got a chance, this week, to drive the 2013 Ford Escape that will be at dealers in late April or early May. The all-new design of the Escape has a more streamlined look than past Escapes. It's more "car-like" instead of truck-like.
The engine choices are a 2.5L 4 cylinder non-turbo with 168hp, a 1.6L EcoBoost with 180hp and a 2.0L EcoBoost with 237hp. These engines get better fuel economy than the outgoing engines. The 2.0L engine (the one I drove) have a 3500lb towing capacity, which is the best in the compact SUV class. With the 2.0L EcoBoost, the car felt as if it had a much bigger engine. You would never know you had a 4 cylinder under the hood, until you get to the gas pump. I averaged 25mpg on my test drive, which was over 180 miles in hilly Northern California (San Francisco area). On the highway, the 2.0L is estimated to get around 30mpg.
The new Escape brings many new technologies to the small SUV class that were not available before. Of course, there is SYNC with My Ford Touch and the active park assist that are found on many other Ford products. There is an available hands-free tailgate option that is really handy. All you have to do is have the key in your pocket or purse and you simply kick your foot under the back of the car and the lift-gate opens so you don't have to put your stuff down to open the door. It will also close the same way if you are unloading your car and you have your hands full, it keeps you from having to go back to the car to close it up. VERY COOL in my book!
Speaking of capacity. The new design of the Escape has more room then past models. Enough room to put 4 golf bags and take you and 3 friends golfing. Try that in another small SUV.
The interior was very roomy and has more drink holders than I've ever seen in one car. The fabrics inside the car feel very rich and are made of a lot of recycled materials. The carpet in each Escape, for instance, is made from 25 20-ounce water bottles. So even if you get a red one, it's green.
I really enjoyed driving the new Escape and would put it on my short-list of new cars if I were in the market. The 2013 Ford Escape starts at around $22,000 and will be available soon.
For more information about the new Escape, go to ford.com/suvs/escape or see your Ford dealer this spring.

After playing one of their best offensive games of the season in a five-point nonconference loss at Woodbury Thursday, Jan. 3, the Wildcat girls' basketball team overcame a cold spell midway through the second half to pull out a 60-56 Big Rivers Conference win in overtime against Eau Claire Memorial two nights later.
The Cats got 31 points from Kylie Strop and 19 from Abby Doerre Thursday at Woodbury but it wasn't enough in a 72-67 loss to the Royals.
Saturday night Strop scored 25 and Bailey Reardon added 22, much of it late in the second half and overtime, to give the Cats their second BRC victory of the season.
After taking a 26-18 lead into the second half, the Cats allowed the Old Abes back into the game before pulling it out in the end.
Head coach Ian Sticht said Memorial used long possessions and good shot selection to eventually take the lead.
"We were able to limit their second chances really well, but in the second half they went 14 minutes and only missed two shots, while we went cold and allowed them back into the game," he said. "Late in the game, we were able to hold our composure and when Memorial took a lead late, we were able to get the ball inside to Bailey. In overtime, again we got down right away, but held our composure and were able to get great looks around the basket and convert free throws when we needed them most."
Strop and Reardon both finished with double-doubles in the win with Strop pulling down 13 rebounds to go with her 25 points and Reardon grabbing 12 boards with 22 points. Doerre contributed seven rebounds and five assists and Maddi Kealy had seven rebounds while Kealy and Reardon blocked two shots each.
Two nights earlier the Cats posted their second-highest point total of the season and only turned the ball over 11 times but came out on a short end of a 72-67 loss at Woodbury.
River Falls held Woodbury's top two scorers to 11 points total but four other Royals scored in double figures.
"We were hampered with some foul trouble in the second half, which allowed Woodbury to exploit some matchups," Sticht said.
Reardon contributed 12 points and 14 rebounds in the loss while 15 of Doerre's 19 points came from beyond the three-point arc. Stitch also had good words for the defensive play of Doerre and Taylor Weick against Woodbury's top two scorers.
"Abby Doerre and Taylor Weick have both developed into two defenders that can lock down the other team's best player," he said.
The Wildcats, now 5-5 overall, 2-3 in BRC play, visited Prescott (9-0) for a nonconference game Tuesday, Jan. 8 before returning to conference play on the road against BRC leader Chippewa Falls (7-3, 5-0) Friday, Jan. 11.


Well-designed and effectively managed MPAs play a significant role in achieving sustainable use of marine resources at multiple scales. ref Increasingly, resilient networks of MPAs are being implemented to increase conservation benefits across broader areas and to spread the risks of potential loss of biodiversity in any one area. The scaling up from individual MPAs to resilient MPA networks allows for the protection of species and habitats in addition to the maintenance of ecological processes, structure, and function.
This section introduces coral reef managers to key resilience principles and recommendations to support the development of resilient MPA networks. These principles can help MPA networks achieve multiple objectives, including fisheries sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change and other stressors. These principles and recommendations can be applied to existing MPAs or used for planning future MPA networks, and can be applied at any scale. Incorporation of these recommendations provides the best chance that an MPA will survive disturbances and continue to provide essential goods and services to communities.
What are MPA Network Design Principles?
Principles of resilient MPA design provide guidance on how to design a resilient MPA or MPA network. Biophysical and socioeconomic principles are commonly used to inform MPA design and management. Biophysical principles are aimed at achieving biological objectives by taking key biological and physical processes into account; whereas socioeconomic principles are aimed at maximizing benefits and minimizing costs to local communities and sustainable industries.
The sections below describe principles of resilient MPA design that integrate fisheries, biodiversity and climate objectives.
It is recommended that managers aim to implement resilience principles as comprehensively as possible, and prioritize the prohibition of destructive activities and risk spreading through representation and replication of habitat types. Recommendations regarding minimum size and spacing of MPAs and protecting critical areas can often be implemented with less information.
There are often information gaps, cultural and political factors that prevent full application of all design recommendations. However, the application of those principles that are feasible increases the likelihood of protecting the entire range of unknown species habitats, and processes of importance; and thus, supporting resilience in response to disturbances.
Specific design recommendations are found in the next sections.

The /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min is config file that reflects the current "goal" rebuild speed for times when non-rebuild activity is current on an array. The speed is in Kibibytes per second (1 kibibyte = 210 bytes = 1024 bytes), and is a per-device rate, not a per-array rate . The default is 1000.
NOTE: The following hacks are used for recovering Linux software raid, and to increase the speed of RAID rebuilds. Options are good for tweaking rebuilt process and may increase overall system load, high cpu and memory usage.
After running those commands, my speeds increase dramatically. I went from 13184 K/sec to about 95108 K/sec! Hope that helps you save some time o your raid rebuilds.

Can this work for ubuntu 14.04 64 bit os?
stripe_cache_size is the number of cache *entries*. Memory usage depends on page size and is multiplied by the number of drives in the array. So if you set it to 16384 on a 8-drive array, that will allocate 512MB of RAM, not 16 MiB. This memory is locked and unavailable to the rest of the system.
Such a setting may work well for benchmarks but is probably not an optimal use of RAM unless your typical usage is flat-out sequential writing spilling over the size of your disk cache for significant periods of time, in which case you may wish to reconsider whether you have sufficient drives in your array.

For the past week I decided to go all salesman Pete on the fine people of Southport (and surrounding areas).
Well, mainly that the general public are batshit crazy.
My main tactic was to post the items on Southport Buy Sell and Swap – a Facey group that lets you post your stuff for free. Pretty good idea really, so thanks for that, Zuckerberg.
Now, I've never used it. In fact, it was left to me from the previous tenant. I don't know much about coffee machines, so I popped it on for a tenna, and the offers started pouring in.
I did not expect so much interest.
Yep that's right. This woman drove 18.9 miles, to purchase a £10 coffee machine.
…I realised that I'd done myself out of a tidy profit.
Of course, I had no idea. I guessed the small ones, to which her face dropped. I then changed my pitch to the big ones, and she seemed happy enough. So I took her £10 and wished her well.
Sure enough, I got a buyer interested straight away. Brilliant, I thought – more cash in the old Amsta fund!!
And then it hit me. The couches look pretty wide, and my door frame, well it's pretty narrow.
Turns out, the couches wouldn't fit through the door. Not without the help of a joiner to take the doorframe off, at least.
Mid week strolls around and I get a call from my removal man. Yep that's right, I have a removal man. He was calling to express his concern for the size of my items that I wanted shipping.
And I have like zero stuff. I'm basically taking a bed, a TV, a mirror, a small fridge, some clothes, and a few cushions.
So previous to this phone call, I had measured up all my stuff and sent them to Alex (removal man). And I sent everything to him in metres, which apparently isn't a normal way of measuring.
Which I've now been informed, is like the size of a building.
But we laughed it off. He even tried to make me feel better by saying he gets mixed up with measurements too. I mean, if his job wasn't 'professional international removal man' then I'd feel slightly better about my life.
So, back to the sales!!
By Thursday, I had made my biggest sale yet! Yep, I sold my car. This was a sad day for me, but a happy day for my bank balance…sooo swings and roundabouts I guess.
Finally, I put on a few pieces of house décor / wall hangings to the group. Now, as you can see from the below screenshot, it's very clearly labelled in both price, and description as to what they are.
Erm… you give me money, I give you desired item.
No, they are wall hangings, as clearly stated in the listing.
To which point, I private messaged this lady to explain that they were £5 each, and asked her what time she could pick them up.
I then gave her my address, with postcode. To which she later messaged me saying that she was at number 9 (I live at 7), outside the vets (there is no vets down my road).
Hmm, maybe I'm the one that's batshit cray?
But these all went to relatively normal people, so not much I can say here.
I don't think I'm going to make it to Wolf of Wall Street status anytime soon, but I did make a grand total of: £3270.
Granted, one item cost a lot more than others, BUT STILL, not bad hey???


Whoever is slowest will get their weather up.
the question is which will go first?
Check the tags I'm sure hex understood the question correctly.

This pickle dip is the perfect dip for summer and only takes about 5 minutes to make! Try it with potato chips, pretzels, or buttery crackers!
Dill pickle dip is one of the easiest dips you can make in a pinch. All you need is a few simple ingredients and you have a tasty, tangy, creamy, cool dip that everyone will love.
My favorite pickles to use for pickle dip are the Kosher dill pickle spears. It doesn't really matter what brand. They are easy to chop up and they have a great flavor. I have used the baby dill pickles and whole pickles before and they work fine, they just take a little big longer to chop. If you are looking for something sweeter and homemade– try it with our Virginia Chunk Sweet Pickles recipe!
What goes well with dill pickle dip?
The options here are endless! Try this pickle dip with potato chips (our favorite), Ritz crackers, Milton's gluten free crackers, pita chips or pretzels. You can also use fresh vegetables like broccoli, carrots, celery or cauliflower.
I love the Greek yogurt in this recipe because I think it adds the right amount of smooth texture and it makes it marginally healthier. It also makes it more dense and I just love the tangy flavor it adds. If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can swap it out for sour cream or mayonnaise.
If you want to add another dimension of flavor, you can add a packet of ranch dressing mix. To make it a ham and pickle dip (which is like our Ham and Pickle Roll Ups in dip form) just chop up a 1/2 Lb. of sliced deli ham and add it to the mixture with the pickles. So tasty!
Is pickle dip gluten free?
Yes! This pickle dip is totally gluten-free. If serving to someone with a gluten allergy, just be sure to have the gluten-free chips or crackers in a separate bowl from pretzels or any other chip/cracker that contains gluten. Potato chips, Milton's GF crackers, and tortilla chips are great GF options.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl mix cream cheese, Greek Yogurt, pickle juice, garlic powder, and fresh dill with a hand mixer.
When mixture is smooth, gently stir in chopped pickles.
Serve with potato chips, pretzels, vegetables, or crackers (see notes above).
Wow this looks SO good!! Do you think adding cayenne pepper to add spice would be a good idea?
We haven't tried it that way before but it might be a fun addition if you wanted to spice it up a bit!

Five hurdles blockchain faces to revolutionise banking
Enthusiasts predict the technology will do away with the need for banks to act as intermediaries.

Blockchain is touted as the next step in the digital revolution, a technology that will change every industry from music to waste. When it comes to money, it goes well beyond bitcoin. Academics have claimed it will "do to the financial system what the internet did to media".
There are many versions of public blockchains in existence, but the majority of them share a basic premise: they offer a secure, decentralised infrastructure to maintain a "single version of the truth", recording all changes made on the blockchain database since its formation.
Enthusiasts predict the technology will do away with the need for banks to act as intermediaries. Whether we buy our groceries online, pay for a service through our mobile phone, or transfer funds abroad, transactions will almost immediately be recorded on the distributed ledger of the blockchain, rather than waiting a couple of days for it to register in our account as banks contact each other on a system invented in the 1970s.
A lot of banks and fintechs started experimenting with blockchain in 2015 – trying to capitalise on the speed and transparency it offers. But four years later, the idea that blockchain will remove banks as intermediaries in our payments system still seems a long way off. That's because there are five basic challenges that the technology has to overcome if it is to be accepted as part of the financial system.
Blockchain's strength is it has no central authority, but this is also a weakness. Who makes the decisions about how the technology works or when it needs updating?
If Microsoft Windows needs an update, Microsoft will decide on that and send out an update. But with no central decision-maker, decisions about updates in the world of blockchain become slow and dysfunctional.
Public blockchains operate more like communities. There is no systematic way to decide on updates or improvements. Instead they happen through huge debates among ecosystem participants, with groups arguing over issues like the length of a block, the number of transactions it should hold and how quickly they should be chained. Often there is no solution to these debates, with no way to organise these communities and make decisions.
Sometimes this can result in a split. That's what happened in 2016 when 3.6m ether (amounting to roughly US$60m at the time) was stolen on the ethereum cryptocurrency network. Founder Vitalik Buterin agreed to "unwind the theft" by creating a new version of the blockchain and the respective token. This "hard fork" allowed people to reclaim their funds, but some of the community felt it went against the principles of blockchain and so carried on using the "old ethereum", now known as ethereum classic.
Blockchains haven't figured out how to effectively govern yet. Often, simple majority voting mechanisms are used to make decisions, which means issues are vulnerable to lobbyists or particularly active contributors seizing control.
2 Scalability
Despite blockchain's popularity, it is still at a very small scale compared to everyday electronic payments. At the moment, bitcoin's blockchain does 2,000 transactions every ten minutes, whereas Visa handles more than 65,000 transaction messages every second, and SWIFT – the global messaging system used by banks and financial institutions to transfer payments – deals with approximately 24m messages a day.
The "block size debate" over how many transactions each block of a blockchain should handle has raged since the early days of bitcoin in 2009. This must be resolved for blockchain platforms to grow big enough to become part of the world's financial plumbing.
Different blockchains organise information in a plethora of ways. This means feeding information from one to another is not always easy.
There is no agreed universal layout of the transaction data structure. In a financial payment, a block will hold the person or company's name, account information, payment, location address and any other relevant factors. But cryptocurrencies all do this differently, so it would be difficult to move from one currency to another. They need to create standards for the information they contain and how it is systematically laid out.
Who should create these standards, though? There needs to be a body taking the lead on this and a general consensus must come to the fore, like the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has done for the internet.
There is no liability for the platforms when things go wrong at the moment. For instance, in 2017, Canadian digital currency exchange QuadrigaCX announced that a computer error had led to losses of ether worth US$14m.
The ether was trapped in the Ethereum system, but the Ethereum community decided not to take any action in recovering it and so QuadrigaCX had to swallow the loss so no client balances were affected.
Surely, liability will need to be cleared up before the public can trust blockchains with their money. For this, we need more regulation in the space of crypto and blockchain in general.
5. Transparency and identity
Blockchain payments mean all users can see all the transactions, making them easy to audit and trace. Users are pseudo-anonymous, in that they are not obliged to identify themselves in any way, but they can still be traced through their alphanumeric address and use of tokens on the network. This transparency is part of the blockchain's strength. It means other users can see the amount of bitcoins going from one address to another, but no name is linked to that address.
The current system, SWIFT, is a private network infrastructure. It is considered secure and resilient, allowing access only to users who are fully identified and verified as legal entities in the finance sector. Eventually, blockchain's lack of an identification framework will be problematic for many users and investors as it is a fundamental premise on which the financial system is built.
Until these issues are addressed, it is hard to see public (and to some extent private) blockchains becoming the new foundation of our financial system.

Home US Tech News We still don't know enough about the Omicron variant to panic
We still don't know enough about the Omicron variant to panic
What we don't know: With all the panic, it's important to remember that we still know very little about the new variant – and we have previously worried that variants didn't work out. The crucial questions are whether it increases portability, whether it worsens health outcomes (thus increasing deaths and hospital stays), and most importantly, whether it undermines the immunity afforded by vaccines or previous infections. We don't yet have clear answers to these questions – although given the mutations, it is likely that it will affect vaccine effectiveness to some extent.
If so, vaccine manufacturers need to act quickly to develop new versions. Fortunately, mRNA technology makes it relatively easy to reformulate a vaccine. Moderna's chief medical officer Paul Burton told the BBC on Sunday that his company may have a new booster – one that has been optimized for handling Omicron – that could hit the market as early as early next year.
Researchers around the world are now scrambling to collect the data we need to know how concerned we should be. We also don't know exactly how Omicron came about. Experts have long warned that uneven global vaccine access – South Africa, where Omicron appears to have originated, has a vaccination rate of 35% – poses a global risk as it gives the virus more opportunities to mutate.
What you can do: As throughout the pandemic, the best you and your loved ones can do to protect yourself by getting vaccinated. If you are offered a booster dose, take it. While it is possible that Omicron could make the vaccine less effective, it will not eradicate them completely.

Q: ¿Como puedo retornar el resultado de mi consulta mysql? Hola estoy tratando de obtener el resultado de un count en mysql, sin embargo actualmente me esta devolviendo siempre 1, y el count lo probe en el mysql y me devuelve es 4, ese 4 que devuelve es el que necesito, qué podría hacer?
Comparto el código de la función que utilizo:
public function countInsumos($id_local){

    $stmt = $this->conn->prepare("SELECT COUNT(id_insumo) AS count FROM insumos WHERE id_local = ? AND estado = 'A'");
    $stmt->bind_param("s", $id_local);
    $result = $stmt->execute();
    $stmt->store_result();
    $num_rows = $stmt->num_rows;
    $stmt->close();

    return $num_rows;
}

Este código siempre me retorna solo 1 y quiero es el resultado :(
Espero puedan ayudarme gracias.

A: En su fragmento de código, está haciendo ambas cosas:

*

*contando filas en la base de datos (SQL)

*contando el número de resultados devueltos por la consulta (PHP)

Como la consulta solo devuelve un resultado, su función devuelve 1.
No debe contar su número de resultados en PHP.
public function countInsumos($id_local) {
    $stmt = $this->conn->prepare("SELECT COUNT(id_insumo) AS count FROM insumos WHERE id_local = ? AND estado = 'A'");
    $stmt->bind_param("s", $id_local);
    $result = $stmt->execute();

    $stmt->bind_result($count);
    $stmt->fetch();
    $stmt->close();

    return $count;
}

Cloverleaf and Woodridge clash as MAC wrestling returns
Michael Leonard
Akron Beacon Journal
RAVENNA — Wrestling coaches' mindsets have changed for the rest of the 2021 season, as the bulk of their schedules will be dual meets instead of tournaments.
In dual meets, the rule is simple: Having a full team leads to success.
Cloverleaf and Woodridge can field nearly full squads; Ravenna and Coventry can not.
Those realities were reflected when the four teams got together for a Metro Athletic Conference double dual meet at Ravenna's James A. Whittaker Field House Thursday.
Cloverleaf edged Woodridge 36-34 in a competitive match, while Ravenna scored a 36-30 win over Coventry, though all of Ravenna's wins came via forfeit.
The two larger squads dominated the second round, as Woodridge beat Coventry 70-4 and Cloverleaf beat Ravenna 77-6.
Cloverleaf coach Mark Mole saw his team improve to 7-0, 2-0 in the MAC. He knew the Colts were in for a dogfight with the Bulldogs.
"Woodridge is always tough. They always have a full squad and wrestle for six minutes," Mole said. "We knew it was going to come down to getting bonus points. It was a lot of fun."
The match went 7-7 in terms on individual bouts.
Cloverleaf benefited from the forfeit win at 220 pounds and got pins from 113-pounder Kane Surrarrer in 3:05, 145-pounder Josh Dunn in 2:50 and 195-pounder Lakota Hagenbaugh.
Colt star Cade Cass scored a 9-1 major decision over Woodridge's Luke Radwany, but Mole noted some of his wrestlers who lost also contributed to the win.
"When you're in a dual meet, being able to fight off your back is huge," Mole said. "That was the epitome of team win."
An example of this came at 126 pounds, where Woodridge state qualifier Nate Demangeont dominated Cloverleaf's Hayden Jarvis, but could not get the pin. Demangeont settled for an 18-7 major decision.
Woodridge coach Mike Massey said his team could benefit from better dual-meet sense.
"We've got to learn in dual meets, when you have a chance for a pin, you've got to take it," Massey said. "Giving up a pin is devastating in duals meets. This isn't a tournament where you can just win by one point to advance."
Against Cloverleaf, Woodridge got pins from debuting freshman 160-pounder Steven Duffy in 1:37, 182-pounder Jason Thompson in 1:07 and heavyweight state qualifier Alistair Larson in 41 seconds.
Woodridge (3-4) also won the most entertaining bout of the night.
At 106 pounds, Woodridge's Abdul Aziz Vokhidov fought off his back to score three third-period takedowns on Cloverleaf's Sean Barker and win 10-7.
A native of Uzbekistan, Vokhidov has become a solid lead-off man, according to Massey.
"I love that kid," Massey said. "He's such a tough kid. He's got a tough cut down every week to get to 106 [pounds], but he's determined to do it, because his best friend is at 113."
It was a forgettable night for the Ravens (1-7), who scored only one win in a wrestled bout.
"We are what we are," Damsa said. "What angers me is we continue to make the same mistakes we did a couple of weeks ago."
Ravenna 160-pound state qualifier Shane Michael pinned Cloverleaf's Vova Herdman in 1:59. However, Michael also was pinned in 3:59 by Coventry's Colby Simon, as Simon avenged a lost to Michael last year.
"Shane is in a little bit of a rut right now," Damsa said. "The funny thing is, he was in the exact same place last year. We need to get better. There's no doubt about that."
With only five wrestlers available, Coventry coach Mark Skonieczny knows the Comets (0-7) are in for a long season.
Skonieczny noted he had something close to a full lineup at the outset of the season, but COVID-19 concerns forced many of his wrestlers to withdraw.
Simon was the bright spot for Coventry, as he was the Comets lone double winner. Along with the win over Michael, he scored a 14-1 major decision over Woodridge's Anthony Lahoski.
Coventry also saw 145-pounder Kody Arntz pin Ravenna's Sean Loucks in 5:27.

With a renewed awakening about the pervasiveness of systemic racism in our society, questions about where the Jewish community fits in are appearing more and more. How does the social construction of race impact the Jewish community? Are white-presenting Jews considered white? How does the Jewish community show up for Jews of Color? And where does antisemitism fit into this spectrum of oppression? In this course, we will dive into some of these hot-button topics and emerge with a deeper understanding of each of our places in the fight for justice.
Part Two: American Jews and Race: A Historical Perspective
with Dr. Marc Dollinger – 4 Sessions: 3/17, 4/7, 5/5, 6/2
Learn about the most important historical moments for American Jews and questions of race. Explore how white-presenting Jews have, and have not, been considered privileged in U.S. history. Dive deep into the civil rights movement of the 1950s and early 1960s, learning new insights into both southern Jews and northern Jewish participation in racial justice causes. Learn about the apparent break-up of the Black/Jewish alliance in the mid-1960s with a close reading of the Black Power movement and its inspiration for American Jewish public identity. Finally, examine actual historical documents going back 360 years revealing the interconnection between Jews, race, and racism, that show us how "becoming American" often meant participation in racist systems.

Not unlike the Shakespearean play, Measure for Measure, justice is critically important to PARADIGM. Both the play and the initiative are focused on the sensibilities around the concept of justice. If PARADIGM is to fulfil its promise, the overall patient engagement outputs must be justified, in other words, be found to be legitimate or valid and to have value. One important output for PARADIGM is the design of a monitoring and evaluation framework for patient engagement.
A challenge in creating the monitoring and evaluation framework is that value is a subjective concept. It is determined by the importance an individual places on the specific measurement. While you can't please everyone, our goal is to find a way to measure value from the perspective of a number of key stakeholders such as patients, regulatory authorities and the biopharmaceutical industry.
Like many investigations, we started with a review of the literature to determine current practices, explore what is working, and identify existing gaps. This initial work has been compiled in a scoping review, Return on Engagement. It provided a substrate for blog posts, presentations in scientific meetings and a report to IMI. This content also forms the basis for a draft framework. Additional communication and dissemination activities in 2018 included workshops to further refine the various value propositions that were uncovered and determine the overarching monitoring and evaluation framework, as well as provide a test bed for metrics development.
Our attention in 2019 is focused on further co-creation and testing of the monitoring and evaluation framework with diverse initiatives and stakeholders. The culmination of this inclusive process will be at the PARADIGM open forum in the fall. The measure of success will be judged by the extent to which we accomplish our goal; the achievement of a rich, iterative monitoring and evaluation framework that serves the needs of diverse groups. The measure of our own success is based on our ability to enrich good quality engagement practices.
