Eternals: A Detailed Review
Posted on December 18, 2021 by luigonword in Reviews
Eternals: A New Perspective outside of the Avengers
A New Direction with the Upcoming Phase
Although I am late to the media coverage party for Eternals it's still a great piece of hero film to talk about. Although with time and a good amount of articles being out we can clearly see that most of the critics and audiences lean towards this film not being favorable, that isn't the case for this article. Now, this isn't biased writing on the contrary I like to speak on other qualities than the industry's way of working. As you the reader know, I don't like to talk about whether the film is a film in the likes of comparing it to a pre-aged sense of the field, I write with pure intentions of mentioning whether a film is good in its storytelling and whether it's a film to be enjoyed by all.
With that being said, Eternals matches everything one can look for in a film, it's entertaining, has its classic Marvel comedy bits, action, and does an outstanding job at telling a story!
With most MCU films we can see a repetitive structure that they use in their films and although it's repetitive it's still loved by many, which is why many still come back for more; not to mention how it's world-building and connecting its films piece by piece. Now, Eternals takes a different approach, taking into account that its main cast is filled with diverse characters some being in the LGBTQ+ community, different ethnicities, including a hearing-impaired heroine, and having its lead be an Asian woman, one would be perceptive to say that some of the criticisms in articles are made from biased perspectives. The story told goes above and beyond and its pacing is well made having the film's run time of 2 hrs and 37 mins feel nothing short of an hour and 30 mins at most. The incredible cast brings their characters to life and honestly one leaves not only having a favorite of the 10 but also wanting to see more. It's a highly enjoyable watch and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to look for a Friday night watch.
A Quick Word for "Eternals"
When the first trailer came out back near mid-September, we obtained only a handful of trailers, teasers, or articles on the MCU project. Although it wasn't marketed as much as other major films, the pieces and glimpses we got were enough to amaze me as well as others who watched the trailers. And after viewing it on the first release, it didn't disappoint!
Having such a range of actors was definitely a beauty to see having Gemma Chan, who played Sersi, be the main protagonist and she killed her performance, although having seen her in Crazy Rich Asians I'd expect nothing more than incredible acting. Not to mention her amazing co-stars, having a deaf actress on-screen was phenomenal and Lauren Ridloff, who played Makkari, was a star in her own hitting great comedy and romantic notes all while doing ASL and simple mannerisms. We also have Lia McHugh, who although only has a handful of films in her portfolio, plays Sprite amazingly well and held her own bringing the audience's emotions to turnover, which I'd say is always a win when playing characters who are supposed to make the audience have a certain grudge for their actions. We also bring our attention to Don Lee, who plays Gilgamesh, who is also making his debut in American made films (i.e Hollywood). Not to say he isn't a star on his own, as he's been in many great films, his most recognizable for American audiences would be his role in Train to Busan. Now I'm not forgetting the amazing talent that is Angelina Jolie, Kumeil Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, Brian Tyree Henry, and Richard Madden.
They're all doing wonderful and emotional performances and if I wasn't against writing 10pg school papers, I would include my love for each character and how their talent brought them to life on the big screen in Eternals. But to save time and your attention I'll move on to my last points.
I know for many people they were expecting a typical MCU film when sitting in their theater seats, but that wasn't the case for how this film played out. Chloé Zhao, who directed this film, does an out-of-the-norm move for Marvel and makes this film have a little more depth, having every character have a deeper story than just their powers or coolness. Chloé does an amazing job at showcasing the characters of the film and overall story, going beyond the hero's journey route. Having especially Gemma Chan's character, Sersi, ask questions about our own values, self-worth, and capabilities while asking philosophical questions about "God" and free will. Now, I know this isn't the take that everyone got when watching but it sure is something I picked up, as well as it amplified my experience.
There are controversies that floated around articles, even some having clear biased opinions on the film based on prejudices of their beliefs, but this isn't the article for that.
Now to wrap it up, this film is a great piece to watch and keeps its viewers entertained even if it isn't their first watch. Its action, story, and talent performance is all to die for and my respect for Chloé Zhao increased by going out of the box with how she chose to direct this film. Now, I'm not saying there aren't negatives, at the very least the inclusion of the evolved Deviant not having much use to the overall story, that is unless they continue it in future works. Aside from that, I give this film a solid 9/10, but don't just take my word for it watch it yourself as "Eternals" comes out on Dec 24th, 2021. Give it another watch and let me know what you think. Till next time, peace.

Lenticular Clouds are steady damp fresh air spanning a mountain peak or a hill range, several large-scale upright swells might develop in the downwind area. If the temperatures at the crest of the movement decline towards the dew area, humidity in the air may condense to form aLenticular cloud. As the damp oxygen goes down again within the trough in the influx, this Lenticular cloud might vanish straight into steam. Within specific circumstances, extended strings involving lenticular clouds can form near the crest of each consecutive wave, creating a configuration known as a 'wave cloud.' The wave schemes trigger huge up and down atmosphere motions, therefore, plenty of h2o steam may well condense to generate rainfall. The clouds have actually been wrongly recognized for UFOs as well as a disguise for UFOs because these clouds have an attribute lens look and sleek saucer-like form. Vibrant hues (referred to as Irisation) are sometimes observed along the edge of lenticular clouds. Most of these clouds were also seen to come to be when the hill doesn't appear to be, however rather due to shear gusts of wind created by an entrance.

I immediately picked it up and never looked back. These days I travel the country talking with folks of various backgrounds about how MATLAB can make their work easier.

Nier: Automata[a] is an action role-playing video game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows. The game was released in Japan in February 2017, and worldwide the following month. Nier: Automata is a sequel to the 2010 video game Nier, a spin-off of the Drakengard series. Set in the midst of a proxy war between machines created by otherworldly invaders and the remnants of humanity, the story follows the battles of a combat android, her companion, and a fugitive prototype. Gameplay combines role-playing elements with action-based combat and mixed genre gameplay similar to that of Nier.
Production began in 2014, with series creator Yoko Taro, producer Yosuke Saito and composers Keiichi Okabe and Keigo Hoashi returning to their respective roles, as well as Square Enix artist Akihiko Yoshida in charge of character design. The story is based around themes similar to Yoko's earlier works, such as people's impulse to kill, while also incorporating issues such as confronting prejudice and escaping difficult situations. The goal was to make a Nier game true to the spirit of the original, while simultaneously crafting a better combat system. As a project entirely new to the developers, the staff at Platinum Games faced multiple challenges when developing its gameplay and open world environment.
Upon release, NieR: Automata was met with very positive reviews, with critics praising the game's narrative, characterization, thematic depth, music design, combat system, and mixture of different gameplay genres, as well as its usage of the video game medium to tell its story, while criticism was leveled at the game's visual and technical problems.


Big Glasses = Big Impact!
In order to ensure that you always look beautiful, you must get a good night sleep. If you always happen to be cramped while sleeping, and are in need of space, then ensure that you get yourself mattress king size, that can ensure that you would never be cramped for space. If you get a mattress which is king-size, then you would have to double it up with a bed of a similar nature. Always ensure that the mattress which you take is of a nature that is suitable to your backbone, and whenever you take a mattress, try and give yourself a demonstration on it by just lying on the mattress and see how it feels on your back.
If you find that the mattress is not suitable for your backbone, then go for a mattress which is of a similar size but the material should be different. In this way, you can ensure that you would get a mattress that can actually provide you with a good night sleep. Certain conditions as well as applications remain about getting mattresses, in order for you to get the very best of mattresses, you must ensure that it is of a very good brand, as well as its functionality is without doubt the very best in the entire market. Online memory foam mattresses happen to be the very best in mattresses, and you would not at all be cheated out of such a great deal, because of the fact that it has maintained its reputation and has provided comfort as well as satisfaction to their owners.
This is a must have in case of a good mattress, and a good mattress is the sole difference between getting a good night sleep, and ensuring that you remain cramped throughout the entire sleeping time.

For more than a decade I have been working with pre-service teachers in a partnership with our local university. In recent years a professor and I have begun researching ways to support these interns as they reflect on their professional experiences. I will briefly share our research and findings before guiding conversations around how and why teachers currently reflect, types of reflection, and ways to increase and improve reflection. This conversation will be one piece of ongoing research we are doing about the importance of reflection for teachers.
After a brief introduction to give background on current research, we will focus small group conversations on specific questions/topics which will be shared during the session and recorded in a google doc.

Halloween Candy: Eat or Toss, Don't Save
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 31, 2010 · Add Comment · In candy, chocolate, Halloween, mold, Salmonella, shelf life
Moldy chocolate
Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! Just make sure it hasn't been sitting around for too long. Some candy has limited shelf life–something for parents to think about before hiding and storing Halloween candy meant to be doled out to the kids later.
According to Karen Blakeslee, an extension associate for food safety at Kansas State University, shelf life can vary anywhere from two weeks to a year, depending on the type of candy, packaging and storage conditions. Hard candy may last indefinitely, but chocolate can go bad. Oh boo hoo…I know. People have suffered from salmonella poisoning from eating spoiled chocolate.
Some signs to look for are extreme stickiness and/or graininess in chocolate. Sound pretty nasty to me, so I can't imagine anybody failing to catch that. Also look out for an unusual flavor, as well as a change in color. With chocolate candy containing fruits or nuts, be on the look out for mold.
Typically, the softer the candy, the shorter the shelf life. Storing in a cool, dry and dark place is always best.
Look, why not ration out a week's worth, and then toss the rest? That's the safest and easiest way to approach things. You might need to check the individual candies, since there's no way of telling which misers kept their candy from last Halloween to hand out this year. But saying that, if most people are like me, that candy's not lasting more than a week no matter what the amount. Darn Halloween.

TMJ syndrome is a painful condition of the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint). Many people suffer from TMJ syndrome without even knowing it. They may have neck pain; they may have headaches; they may have no pain at all, but an annoying clicking and popping of the jaw.
TMJ syndrome does not have to be a chronic condition, though. I treat many people with TMJ syndrome in my Los Angles, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood chiropractic clinic. To see how I might treat someone with this painful jaw condition, please watch the video below.
For more information on TMJ syndrome–it's causes as well as it's solution, please read the article here.
Green Tea Fails to Show Breast Cancer Protection
I know, we all want green tea to work for something; but when it comes to preventing breast cancer, green tea comes up short. A recent Japanese study failed to show any protective effects against breast cancer from drinking green tea.
The study, conducted by the Epidemiology and Prevention Division at the Research Center for Cancer Prevention and Screening of the National Cancer Center in Tokyo, collected data on 53,793 women who were surveyed between 1995 and 1998. As part of the survey, the women were asked how much green tea they drank. A follow up survey was conducted at five years where they the women were asked the same questions but also which types of green tea were drunk (Sencha or Bancha/Genmaicha).
The survey results showed that 12% drank less than one cup of green tea per week, while 27% drank five or more cups a day. There were also women who drank more than 10 cups per day.
They followed the women for almost fourteen years and found that 350 of them developed breast cancer in that time period. But researchers found no less risk in women who drank green tea than in those who did not.
According to scientists, the strength in this study was its research design, particularly that green tea consumption was recorded before breast cancer was diagnosed, thus eliminating "the exposure recall bias inherent to case-control studies," lead researcher Dr. Motoki Iwasaki said.
Still, some people want to hang on. Like I said, we all really want green tea to be beneficial. Case in point, Jennifer J. Hu, professor of epidemiology and public health at the University of Miami School of Medicine's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. Says Hu, "just by drinking green tea you don't get enough of the [possible cancer-fighting ingredient] to make much of a difference." She also states that population-based studies fail to localize single factors, as many more factors may play a part.
Yes, I can see Ms. Hu's point. Perhaps a study on freebasing green tea may produce the results she wants. Let's not all hold our breaths, though.
Tingling Hands Not Always Carpal Tunnel
Numbness and tingling can be an unnerving symptom no matter where it is felt. When it happens in the arms and hands it can be especially disconcerting since we use our upper limbs constantly. What causes numbness and tingling in the arms and hands? Well the most oft-diagnosed condition is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but I'm telling you it's what we call a BS diagnosis. Along with "tendonitis," "sprain/strain," and "arthritis," carpal tunnel syndrome is just another way of saying, "I'm really busy; I don't have time to investigate, and ultimately, I don't know what you've got."
Any doctors reading this? If what I say pisses you off, it's because IT"S TRUE! Doctors not versed in musculoskeletal problems give the BS carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis (it's a guess), and quite often, they're wrong. It wouldn't be such a big deal except that the treatment for CTS is the ol' snip-snip. Can't reverse that, so it behooves one getting this diagnosis to seek a second opinion. I'd try an orthopedist or sports chiropractor; these professionals focus on musculoskeletal complaints and thus have a good grip on what might be going on.
One thing that can cause numbness and tingling in the arms and hands is an ulnar nerve entrapment or impingement syndrome. The ulnar nerve, which innervates or controls the last two fingers (ring to pinky), can become compressed by the forearm muscles. When this happens forearm pain and numbness and/or tingling in the last two fingers can occur.
A good sports chiropractor can alleviate this discomfort and teach you stretches and exercises to prevent further problems. I highly suggest getting any arm, forearm or hand numbness/tingling checked by a doctor, because any nerve irritation can lead to long-term damage. While waiting to get in to see the doc, however, you can do some things at home on your own. Watch the video below to get some tips on alleviating arm and hand numbness and tingling.
And please, before you get the ol' snip-snip, go see a sports chiropractor (or an orthopedist) for a second opinion.
Blackout in a Can
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 28, 2010 · 2 Comments · In alcohol, alcohol poisoning, alcospeed, blood alcohol level, caffeine, Central Washington University, Four Lokos, malt liquor
Oh yeaaahhhh…Four Lokos, beatches. Ya heard? Four Lokos is the stuff: alcohol and caffeine–a goofy combination. And goofy is what you'll be when you drink the Four Lokos. 23 ½-ounces of fruity malt liquor, 12% alcohol, liquid speed and sugar–woo-boy, boing! Can't say it better than the official Facebook page:
"you will remember absolutely nothing in the morning, probably acted like a slut, and possibly tried to fight someone. It's a four loko thing…"
This is no joke…it's Four Lokos, mang. It's like drinking four beers at a time. Double fist it, brah! Yeh boyeee….
Nine Central Washington University freshmen were hospitalized after an Oct. 8th party, where when cops arrived they found "three girls sprawled on a bed, a barely conscious young man was being dragged out of the backyard, a girl was prostrate on the bathroom floor and three young people were splayed senseless in a car outside."
Many CWU students couldn't believe it either; they thought that, perhaps, roofies were involved. They just couldn't believe that this motley scene might be tied to the Four Lokos, which is also known as, the "blackout in a can." The students hospitalized had blood alcohol levels ranging from .123 to .35. Doh! Anything over .30 can lead to alcohol poisoning and death. That's right, G…don't be a sissy, pound that twit.
For $2.50 a can??? Man, you can't get that drunk since Night Train. Yeh boyeee….
But not everybody's laughing. A Washington, D.C.-based consumer advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest sued Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing Co., who eventually agreed to take their own "energy beverages" off the market.
As pointed out by the L.A. Times:
"That lawsuit cited a study by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, which found that young drinkers of so-called alcospeed beverages were more likely to binge drink, become injured, ride with an intoxicated driver or be taken advantage of sexually than drinkers of conventional alcoholic drinks."
Although their aren't any studies yet showing the effects of alcosopeed on the body, some believe the combination of alcohol and caffeine gives young drinkers a false sense of alertness, enticing them to drink more and more, leading to potentially dangerous blood alcohol levels. The FDA will push for studies before setting out regulations on the alcospeed.
But don't think for a second that Phusion Projects LLC of Chicago–manufacturers of Four Lokos–are not abhorred by the "irresponsible use" of their energy beverages. Company officials said,
"The events in central Washington this month were inexcusable. And most would expect our company to disagree with recent decisions to ban our products from college campuses… We do not. We agree with the goals that underlie those sentiments,"
Aw mang, don't pull my Four Lokos…pleeease!!! How am I gonna git "F"ed up for two-fifty, mang? Guess I'll have to go back to robotripping.
Java for Junior?
Does your child drink caffeine? How young is too young to drink "the fuel?" As an ingredient to many children's favorites from sodas to candy to ice cream, as well as many over-the-counter pain and cold medications, it behooves parents to know just how caffeine may affect your child.
According to the Nemours Foundation–a pediatric health system and research group–here are some of the ways caffeine affects a child's body: Can cause
nervous and jittery feelings
an upset stomach.
trouble concentrating and sleeping.
a spike in heart rateand blood pressure
Madness, to me, is the thought of parents giving their children full-on coffee drinks as beverages. But hey, who am I to judge? If it's no problem for you to handle a screaming, caffeine-amped maniac, then more power to ya.
Even worse, though, is the number of parents feeding their children liquid sugar. If that isn't enough caffeine and sugar to whack them out physically and mentally, then throw in some Cap'n Crunch. Be my guest…it's your kid. My girls won't get caffeine before high school if we can help it, and maybe even college if it's entirely up to me.
But it's a tough one with caffeine and sugar permeating most popular kids' drinks. In any case, if you are allowing your child to drink soda and coffee beverages to their juvenile hearts' content, then don't be surprised when they're put on the Ritalin at school–it's a natural progression.
Adversity Necessary for Growth
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 24, 2010 · Add Comment · In Body, Life
Adversity in life is necessary to build resilience and adaptation, so says a recent study published in the October issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. According to the study, people that experienced some adverse events reported better mental health and well-being than those exposed to high levels of adversity or no adversity at all.
Researchers at the University at Buffalo looked at 2,398 people who took part in a national survey each year from 2001 to 2004, and found that people with a history of some lifetime adversity appeared to weather recent adverse events better than other people.
"Our findings revealed that a history of some lifetime adversity–relative to both no adversity or high adversity–predicted lower global distress, lower functional impairment, lower [post-traumatic stress] symptoms and higher life satisfaction," said study author Mark Seery, an assistant professor of psychology at the university.
The study looked at "major lifetime adversity," but the authors note that even relatively mundane challenges may increase overall resilience.
Well no surprises here, as I know how important challenges are to our physical, mental and spiritual growth. Sure we can call it resilience, although I'd just call it evolution. Avoiding or resisting challenges and having others provide constant protective support does not allow for maximal growth. Neither does an overload of stress for that matter, so these results would be expected. I'm just pleased to see that they've now put a study to what appears to me a experiential-truth.
A Diabetic America by 2050
Good job America, you're on the road to hyperglycemia–yes diabetes–and you're doing it right. According to officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes by 2050. Awesome! Eat more sugar, eat more processed junk food, you'll get there soon enough. Stay focused people…FOCUS!
Ten years ago, experts at the CDC estimated that as many as 39 million Americans could have diabetes by mid-century, but today they say it could be in the 76 million to 100 million range. Nice America, don't you love exceeding expectations?
Here's what you can expect from your diabetes, folks:
increased risk of heart attack
increased risk of stroke
amputated toes, feet or legs
slow wound healing (including surgical incisions)
and arterial disease, including coronary artery disease
So keep drinking them sodas, peeps; diabetes will not be far off. I know, I know it's tough. Temptations lay all around us. The inability to practice discipline in the face of desire is a human enigma that has baffled great thinkers for millennia. But remember you do have a choice in the matter: Type 2 diabetes represents 90-95% of all diagnosed cases, and it is lifestyle related.
Those who have high levels of physical activity, a healthy diet, do not smoke, and consume alcohol in moderation have an 82% lower rate of diabetes. When a person is of normal weight, the rate is 89% lower. Obesity contributes to approximately 55% of type 2 diabetes cases.
So it's up to you, folks: Want to be in the group of people without diabetes in 2050, or you want to be a 1/3er? Got to make the choice and changes now.
Piriformis Syndrome: Pain in the Butt
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 20, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Body
Buttock pain has many sources, none more irritating than piriformis syndrome. Piriformis syndrome is a condition of a tight, inflamed piriformis muscle that clamps down on the sciatic nerve. Piriformis syndrome, then, can lead to sciatica, a sharp, burning electrical pain down the leg and sometimes into the foot.
Piriformis syndrome needs to be diagnosed by a doctor–preferably a sports chiropractor, since you can get diagnosed and treated in the same office. There are, however, some things that can be done at home to alleviate the symptoms.
Watch the video below to get some tips on how to take care of your own hip or buttock pain caused by piriformis syndrome. Or you can also read the article here to learn more about piriformis syndrome
Ovulating Women Act Like Horny Men (Sort Of)
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 18, 2010 · 89 Comments · In Body
Everybody knows about PMS, but do women change their behavior during ovulation? Current research says they do, sexually…and these changes may have evolutionary significance in spreading our genes.Two new studies in the November issue of the journal Evolution and Human Behavior find that women get a little wilder during their most fertile days of the month. One study found that ovulating women are more open to the idea of hooking up with a stranger or acquaintance, while the other study found that women with less masculine-looking partners are more likely to lust after men with "masculine" traits–like strong, square jaws–than women with partners already possessing those traits.In the past, most research on the menstrual cycle focused on premenstrual syndrome (PMS), but these new studies are two of more than twenty focusing on behavioral changes brought about by ovulation. Researchers in evolutionary biology have taken it for granted that ovulation is of slight significance since humans have deviated from the typical estrus cycle (heat) of mammals, and can be up for sex anytime of the month.This, however, is just a theory, and a wrong one at that. For instance, men can tell when a woman is ovulating, although they do so imperfectly. Some experts believe it's through smell–of pheromones, excreted chemicals that triggers a social response in members of the same species–but this is just a hypothesis. Several studies, however, have found that women report that their men become more attentive and jealous around fertile days. One study, in fact, found that when women were fertile, their male partners saw other men as a greater threat.Further, women do have a sort-of "heat" phase, yet instead of simply being more receptive to sex, they want it for different reasons. Consider this phase a lust-cycle, where women want sex for sex's sake and not for intimacy, which might be more the reason outside of the cycle.
The second study of the pair looked at women's phenotypic preference for masculine traits during fertile periods. Several previous studies had found that, when ovulating, women tended to go for more masculine-looking men. Masculine traits fertile women prefer are strong-jawed faces, muscular bodies, dominant behaviors, deep voices and tallness.
(Example of test picture to the left–women, which face do you prefer?)
In the latest study, researchers found that if a woman is partnered with a man without a masculine face, her eye is more likely to wander during her fertile days. Now this doesn't mean she'll necessarily act on her wandering eye, but she'll likely look nonetheless. And other studies have shown that the hormonal fluctuations surrounding ovulation do change women's attitudes and behavior. For instance, fertile women seem to be more open than non-fertile women to the idea of taking "sexual pleasures where [they] find them." According to the authors of the study, women in ovulation are more likely to express interest in sleeping with an attractive stranger or someone they don't care about. Just sex.
Women in ovulation also tried harder to look nice for pictures, according to a 2006 study, showing that the hormonal changes may also affect female decision making. An online shopping experiment reveals fertile women are also more likely to choose sexy clothes and accessories than women who weren't fertile, according to the study published online in the Journal of Consumer Research in August. Finally, in a widely publicized study published in Evolution and Human Behavior in 2007, researchers found that ovulating strippers made an average of $30 more an hour than menstruating strippers and $15 more an hour than non-ovulating, non-menstruating strippers.
So to conclude, during fertile periods, women tend to be a bit friskier, make decisions about their attractiveness, look harder at masculine features, and be more likely to engage in casual sex. Why? To ensure the likelihood of fertilization and to increase the probability of finding successful genes, biologically speaking that is. I don't know about you, but it sounds to me like the human female is as much a product of her biology as a man is. Cool, huh?
Homophobia Among Black Men May Increase HIV Numbers
With regard to HIV and race, blacks have the highest infection rates. And black men may be playing a significant role as a result of homophobic beliefs. This was the hypothesis recently studied to determine why blacks have disproportionately high HIV numbers.
The study conducted at the University of Washington in Seattle looked at social factors in men who have sex with men (MSM), not risky sexual behavior, as previous studies have shown this not to be a factor with blacks as compared to whites. What the researchers found was a prevailing attitude of homophobia among black men in general, and even in black MSM.
Using data from a U.S. health survey, the researchers found that, in general, African-Americans were more likely than whites to report a negative attitude toward homosexuality.
In 2008, 72% of black adults said that homosexuality was "always wrong"—a rate that had changed little since the 1970s. Among whites, 52% expressed that view in 2008, which was down from 71% in 1973.
A similar pattern was seen among men who reported having sex with other men. Of these men, 57% of African Americans said they believed homosexuality was always wrong, versus 27% of whites.
When the researchers looked at the men's reported rates of HIV testing, they found that those who regarded homosexuality as wrong were less likely to have ever been tested: 36%, versus 73% of those with a more favorable view of homosexuality.
Hmmm….I see the dilemma here. First, let me say this is an excellent study, as it seeks to understand a phenomenon not explainable by sexual behavior alone, and it is important to understand why. Let's look at the numbers.
1 in 16 black Americans will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime—more than twice the risk for Hispanics and eight times that of whites
in 2006 African-Americans accounted for nearly half (45%) of new infections in the 50 states and the District of Columbia
Blacks accounted for 56% of deaths due to HIV in 2009 and their survival time after an AIDS diagnosis is lower on average than it is for most other racial/ethnic groups
African-Americans account for 24% of reported HIV cases among gay and bisexual men in the U.S.
Homophobic beliefs may be contributing. It's important to point out here that the results of the recent study do not prove that homophobia is a factor in the racial disparity in HIV infection among gay and bisexual men in the U.S., according to the study's authors. It only gives researchers information for further study, while advocacy groups now have a point a focus politically and within community services.
"These kinds of studies are important," said Francisco Roque, director of community health for Gay Men's Health Crisis, a New York-based non-profit that provides HIV/AIDS education and services. According to Roque, such research-based data are helpful for gaining support for campaigns to address homophobia, as well as HIV/AIDS prevention.
How would homophobia contribute to the disproportionate numbers of HIV infection among black men? Little known is that MSM among "straight" men (SMSM) in the black community is not uncommon (it happens in all racial and ethnic groups incidentally). Because of the stigma of homosexuality in the African-American community, many infected SMSM are not getting tested, thus acting as an asymptomatic carrier.
With 36% of black MSM who look at homosexuality unfavorably not getting tested, HIV is likely being spread to both men and women in the black community with a big fat, "Huh?!?!" Again, we can't use this study as proof, but it looks like a plausible explanation.
No Flu Shot? You're Stupid!
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 9, 2010 · 4 Comments · In Body
More stupidity coming out of the flu shot camp this year. Same old propaganda. Here's the deal according to experts: You're an idiot if you don't get the flu shot. All your reservations against getting the flu shot are false. Not one thing you think negatively about the flu shot is proven, but get this…the flu shot is based on sound evidence. Har, har, har. Sounds like today's best political style–if they disagree, denigrate them.
According to a recent report, many Americans are planning to bypass the flu shot this year. A survey conducted by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) found that 43% of Americans will not be getting a flu shot this season. Additionally, a second study found that one-third of American mothers said they have no plans to get a flu shot for their children. Booyah!
I love it. But the medical establishment doesn't. They've been ramming the flu shot malarkey down our throats for years, and they are WRONG! Wrong. I've been reporting on this sham for the last four years. Every year they say the same thing. 2007 saw record flu shots given, yet the incidences of flu were off the charts. The shot gave little protection that year. In 2008, people kept away from the bull shot. Guess what? Flu cases went down! Get it?
I've said this before, getting the flu strains right* in any particular year is very much like predicting the weather–it's a crap shoot. It's freakin' bogus. But what really offends me is the arrogance by which the establishment belittles people who see this and choose not to swallow the BS being fed to them.
"Flu is serious. Every year millions of people get sick; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized and thousands of people die from influenza," Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Yes, sick people, unhealthy people, immunocompromised people and malnourished children. My children have had the flu every year–they're alive. God bless their immune systems. If you want a flu shot–go get one; it's available. We'll pass, though, thank you. Are we stupid? OK, I'll take that under consideration.
Flu expert Dr. Marc Siegel believes that many people who opt not to get a flu shot are falling prey to myths about the vaccine. "It's all because of this nonsense that's been circulating that somehow the flu shot is dangerous."
No doctor, listen up: It's because the seasonal flu shot is bogus. Plain and simple. Wake up.
And his thoughts on the belief of some people that hand-washing helps prevent spread of the flu: "The idea that you are not going to spread the flu by washing your hands has never been proven," Siegal noted.
And the sham that getting a flu shot prevents the flu has not only never been proven, it fails to do so many years–think 2007-2008.
I'll keep reporting on this nonsense every year until the numbers of rejecters reaches high eighty percent. Until then, hats off dissenters. Glad you recognize the agenda.
* This year's shot will contain the H1N1 strain…the same one they had to burn last season because nobody wanted. Guess they found use for it. How does it feel to be part of a massive public health experiment?
Runners Stretch for Low Back Pain Relief
Low back pain can be caused by tight hip flexors. The hip flexor muscle group is made up of the psoas, iliacus and rectus femoris (part of the quadriceps) muscles. When tight, they pull the low back into a hyperlordosis, or an over-arch. This causes pressure on the lumbar disks, leading to pain and stiffness of the low back.
The hip flexors can be loosened with a simple runners stretch. You can do this at home finding complete low back pain relief, or it might be a good temporary fix before you get in to see your sports chiropractor.
Watch the video below to see the proper way of stretching the iliopsoas, or hip flexor complex. If you need a good Los Angeles, Beverly Hills or West Hollywood sports chiropractor, check here.
Man's Best Preventative
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 1, 2010 · Add Comment · In Body
Sorry cat lovers, but it is a dog in the home that might just help prevent eczema in your child. Yup, poochie prophylactics we call 'em, and a recent study shows that it might just do the trick, immunologically, to keep your kid from developing the itchy skin inflammation.
The study, done in Cincinnati, found that children with a dog in the home at age 1 had a significantly reduced risk of eczema at age 4, but children who had a cat were more likely to have the ailment at the same age. And get this, a dog in the child's home also seemed to protect against allergies to cats. Woof, woof, woof…
Over 600 newborns were looked at, some testing positive for dog allergies (meaning they were allergic even though they had no symptom), some not. Of those testing positive, the children that did not live with a dog had four times the risk of getting eczema by age 4 than those who tested positive and did own a dog. The higher the dog allergen levels were in the homes, the lower the risk was for the child developing eczema.
"It's speculative, but possible that the protective effect is due to a sort of natural immunotherapy where children who are exposed to dogs become tolerant over time in the same way that people on allergy shots develop tolerance to allergens," said study author Dr. Tolly Epstein, an assistant professor in the division of immunology, allergy and rheumatology at the University of Cincinnati Medical School.
Not all experts see the results as definitive, though. Dr. Wanda Phipatanakul, an associate physician at Children's Hospital in Boston, contends that other research has shown conflicting results on the impact of cats and dogs on the development of eczema.
"The jury is still out," said Phipatanakul, who is also an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. "I don't think anyone, including the authors, is saying to go get a few dogs, or don't get a cat to reduce your risk."
True, but you've got to admit, the results are interesting. Preliminary as they may be, with more studies surely on their way, these findings are encouraging. If they turn out to be correct, then the results might just show a greater symbiosis between man and his best friend.
CDC's Big 6: The Winnables
By Dr. Nick Campos On October 1, 2010 · Add Comment · In AIDS, auto injuries, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dr. Thomas Frieden, health care, health care infections, money, obesity/nutrition, politics, teen pregnancy, winnable battles
Just to show you that today's health care is all politics and money, let's discuss the uproar over new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Thomas Frieden's latest statement on the six priorities–or winnable battles–that the center should focus on: smoking, AIDS, obesity/nutrition, teen pregnancy, auto injuries and health care infections.
So what's the uproar? Think of all the other groups that want political backing and money: cancers, heart disease, eating disorders, mental health…SWINE FLU for crying out loud! These left out groups just ain't gonna see the money, baby.
Many advocates, legislators and others in public health have dedicated their lives to problems that did not make Frieden's short list, so the complaints are rolling in…wah, wah, wah…and you thought health care was just about health.
Part of the problem for the groups left out is that most of Frieden's "priorities" are long-standing, major challenges that get a lot of attention already. Like, let somebody else in the club. Corn nut allergies are grossly overlooked time and time again.
"So is hepatitis C," cry pundits of this condition. Heps B and C is are ticking time-bombs ready to explode, according to experts, so why not move smoking to the side for a decade or two? Isn't it enough that we've banned nearly all public smoking, and have reduced cigarette smokers to ostracized lepers?
Frieden is known to somewhat shake the system. As New York City's health commissioner in 2002, he began by identifying the city's most pressing health issues, leading campaigns to ban smoking in the workplace, tax soda, cut salt in processed foods, and ban artificial trans fats in restaurants.
Frieden calls his new short list "winnable battles" because, he says, proven programs can save lives and reduce harm from each of these health problems. He believes government can make dramatic improvements if available money and manpower are focused.
I've personally got nothing against the CDC's fight against "winnable battles." I might focus on six different priorities, but Frieden's choices are certainly noble. No doubt smoking and poor nutrition/obesity are the cause of numerous health problems. Auto accidents kill many people unnecessarily, and with texting the new drinking for driving, we are going to have our hands full for quite awhile, I presume.
AIDS, frankly, doesn't scare me as much as syphilis does, but…well, I'll just say it…lots of money and politics there. Reality is that many cases could be prevented through safe sex. And nobody can convince me that there just aren't enough free condoms to go around. Uh huh…and infections continue to soar in certain populations, although we all know better…hmmm.
Health care infections? Just a part of today's overuse of medical care. Got to change a whole paradigm to make a shift there, but the fact that the CDC considers it a priority is a move int he right direction.
I must say that I am pleased at the attention health and health care has been getting nationally. Everybody is thinking about it these days–good, as it should be. But I still can't help but marvel at the bickering among health groups and organizations over which health malady is most important…especially since we all know that would be health maintenance. But of course.

Biografia
Emmanuele Paparo nacque a Monteleone di Calabria (l'odierna Vibo Valentia) il 24 dicembre del 1778 da Pasquale ed Eufrasia Zecca, pittori per mestiere; apprese i fondamenti dell'arte nella scuola pittorica della sua città natale, fu scolaro di un certo Lorenzo Rubino e, secondo un aneddoto, il maestro vistosi superare ben presto dall'allievo l'avrebbe scacciato per invidia. Quindi si dedicò al proseguimento autonomo degli studi pittorici e letterari. Con l'arrivo dei francesi e l'instaurazione del regno di Gioacchino Murat nel Meridione d'Italia, venne apprezzato per la sua bravura dal generale napoleonico Danzelot, che lo portò con sé a Napoli per fargli proseguire gli studi. Dopo un periodo in quella città si recò a Roma, dove conobbe Vincenzo Camuccini del quale divenne allievo. Nel 1809, nonostante venisse fortemente voluto dalle accademie di Roma e Napoli, tornò nella città natale che ornò con numerose tele e dipinti, in particolar modo il duomo di Santa Maria Maggiore e San Leoluca di cui organizzò il restauro, eseguendo diversi dipinti e disegnando stucchi e bassorilievi (realizzati però dall'artista Fortunato Morani seguendo non i consigli e indicazioni dell'amico Paparo, con i geroglifici come descritti in qualche opuscoletto di poco conto, ma seguendo regole di architettura per come il Morani era a conoscenza in quanto aveva fatto studi nei libri conservati ancora dopo 105 anni in casa Morani a Polistena dal discendente FRACESCO  MORANI (oggi). Nen duomo di Santa Maria Maggiore e San Leoluca non esistono solo, torno a dire i geloglifici ma si conservano ancora tutti i tondi dei Profeti, gli antari laterali delle navate, gli,altorilievi rettangolari del Cristo con i fanciulli e altri quattro o più altorilievi pertfino quelli in fondo alla porta di entrata. Di tutto questo che dico ripeto si conservano ancora i disegni degli altari riprodotti da Fortunato, riprodotti nello stesso anno nella  Chiesa dei Domenicani di Taurianova oggi Chiesa del Rosario lavori questi eseguiti l'anno 1818, la mia modifica è avallata dai disegni e dalla riproduzione fatta in seguito dai figli di Fortunato, Francesco nato nel 1804  e Giovanni, e poi dai nipoti Fortunato nato nel 1828 e Vincenzo che fecero lavori lin altre chiese dei paesi del circondario a Polistena. Un'altra chiesa ad essere restaurata in quel periodo fu quella di Santa Maria del Soccorso (costruita nella seconda metà del XVI secolo) demolita dopo il terremoto del 1905 per non restaurarla.

Organizzò i funerali della regina consorte di Napoli e Sicilia Maria Carolina d'Austria nel 1815 e poi del marito Ferdinando I, realizzandone anche monumenti funebri.

Il 16 maggio 1818 prese i voti nel convento domenicano di Monteleone, continuando senza interruzione la sua attività di pittore.

Nel 1821, restando vacante il posto di maestro del Real Collegio Vibonese, ne prese l'incarico.

Sul finire di luglio del 1828 si ammalò di un tumore; inizialmente proseguì nel suo mestiere ma in seguito fu costretto a rimanere a letto dove morì il 6 settembre del 1828 alle ore 12:30.

Le sue pitture, riprese da pittori e scuole famose, modificandone gli schemi, si fanno apprezzare soprattutto per la sensibilità cromatica dal quale rimasero estranei i pittori del suo tempo, lo scopo della sua arte è etico, insegnare attraverso il patetico e sublime, elemento tipico del Neoclassicismo fatto proprio da Paparo. Nonostante vi fossero riferimenti in biografie e testi, a varie opere di tema mitologico e ritrattistico, conosciamo di lui solo le opere a carattere sacro, eccetto un suo autoritratto del 1815 e un piccolo ritratto di un suo conterraneo.

Opere letterarie
La sua attività non fu solo pittorica ma anche letteraria: scrisse opere in 21 volumetti di prose e versi e circa 70 orazioni sacre e dissertazioni accademiche. Le sue opere più famose sono "Viaggio pittorico", pubblicato postumo dal conte Vito Capialbi, suo amico e concittadino, e il poemetto "Il Romitaggio".

Safety first: Brits open to e-scooters, but insurance and helmets a priority
One in five UK adults[1] are willing to try an e-scooter, despite 93% never having used one before.
The latest research from specialist Electric Vehicle insurer, LV= General Insurance, has discovered that 28% of 18-34 year olds will be looking for alternative methods of transport when they return to the office.
Unsurprisingly, this number is even higher in London where 34% of commuters will be swapping the tube and bus network for something else in future. Of those who said they were keen to explore new ways of commuting, the key reasons were:
Safety- 63%
Environmental concerns - 38%
Cost benefits – 29%
Within those who are positive about the technology, two thirds would prefer to own their e-scooter, as opposed to rent. Whilst safety was a key reason given to use an e-scooter, the vast majority still believe that safety equipment needs to be mandated, with 86% saying helmets should be required.
When it comes to insurance, 84% think there should be insurance specifically for electric scooters, and three quarters of those surveyed would like to see at least personal injury cover included.
Tom Clarke, LV= GI Head of Electric Vehicle Strategy, said:
"As the world returns back to a sense of normality, it's clear that many people will be looking to use greener, safer and cheaper methods of transport. E-scooters can become a vital part of our travel ecosystem, particularly within cities. Providing the rental trial goes well, we'll be calling on the Government to legislate for safety measures and insurance to be required by law for personal scooters, as this is what people have resoundingly told us."
On 4th July 2020, the UK Government began a one-year e-scooter rental trial, within selected local authorities. Whilst use of private e-scooters is still illegal on public roads, the trial is hoping to understand how micromobility can play a part in providing greener transport options to reduce traffic and dependence on public transport within built-up areas.
Nationally representative study of UK population with 2,107 respondents. Carried out by YouGov on 29 June 2020.

public void process(InputStream in, OutputStream foo, OutputStream baa, List<String> args)
{
    ...
    foo.write(things);
    baa.write(stuff);
    ...
}

But the only examples I can find all just use one output stream:
FlowFile transform = session.write(original, new OutputStreamCallback() {
        @Override
        public void process(OutputStream out) throws IOException {
            out.write("stuff");
        }
    });

Processing is done in batches, (due to its large scale), so its not practical to perform all the processing then write out the separate flows.
The only way I can come up with is process the input multiple times :(
To clarify, I want to write to multiple FlowFiles, using the session.write(flowfile, callback) method, so the different streams can be sent/managed separately

A: The NiFi API is based on acting upon one flow file at a time, but you should be able to do something like this:
        FlowFile flowFile1 = session.create();
        final AtomicReference<FlowFile> holder = new AtomicReference<>(session.create());

        flowFile1 = session.write(flowFile1, new OutputStreamCallback() {
            @Override
            public void process(OutputStream out) throws IOException {

                FlowFile flowFile2 = session.write(holder.get(), new OutputStreamCallback() {
                    @Override
                    public void process(OutputStream out) throws IOException {

                    }
                });
                holder.set(flowFile2);

            }
        });

A: Since you're making different outputs from the same input you might also consider having these steps be broken out as discrete processors that focus on doing their specific function.  Above you show "things" and "stuff" so for example I'm suggesting you have a 'DoThings' and 'DoStuff' processor.  In your flow you can send the same flowfile to both by simply using the source connection twice.  This then enables nice parallel operations and allows them to have different runtimes/etc.  NiFi will still maintain the provenance trail for you and it won't actually be copying the bytes at all but rather passing a pointer to the original content.

Boliva's Morales plans party rally on Argentina border
Sunday, 22 December 2019 09:30 [ Last Update: Tuesday, 04 February 2020 14:04 ]
Bolivia's former President Evo Morales on Saturday appealed for his supporters to attend a rally on the border between Argentina and Bolivia on Dec. 29 to choose a candidate for Bolivia's election early next year.
Iran Press/America: In an interview with Argentine radio, Evo Morales, who has sought political asylum in Argentina, said he had called the meeting of the Movement for Socialism party, which he helmed for 14 years as president, Reuters reported.
"We will choose our candidate with a view to the upcoming elections in Bolivia," Morales told Radio La Network.
An October vote to pick a new president, vice president and some national legislators was annulled because of serious irregularities detected by an international audit.
The vote-rigging scandal forced Morales to resign and leave Bolivia in mid-November.
This week, lawmakers appointed a six-member electoral tribunal, which is expected to set a date by Jan. 2 for new elections within 120 days.
The ex-president did not report the place of the meeting, but the local press suggested it could take place in the cities of Oran or Salvador Mazza, in the province of Salta, about 1,300 kilometers (808 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires.
Morales said the Argentine government had agreed to provide security for the event.
After 3 weeks of political crisis and military pressure, Evo Morales and his First Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera stepped down on November 10 and went to Mexico in order to prevent further violence.
The leader has been a staying in Argentina since Dec. 12, after he left Mexico, where he went after resigning from the presidency and under pressure from the armed forces.

A new and pretty exciting feature is making its way to Microsoft Authenticator for iOS. The feature will allow the app to keep a user's credentials so they don't get locked out of their accounts when they move to a new device. The feature is a long requested feature by users and should make the migration from one phone to another more simple.
Today, if you migrate to a new phone, you have to pre-configure the Microsoft Authenticator app on your new phone prior to wiping your old one. If you wipe the old one prior to doing this pre configuration, you run the risk of losing access to your two factor accounts – which is a gigantic pain, let's be honest. This new feature should make it a lot easier.


On Saturday, Boca Juniors take on rivals River Plate in the first leg of the final in the Copa Libertadores – the South American equivalent of the Champions League. Here are some of the memorable moments from their previous encounters.
When pigs fly… This is the kind of thing you see at a Superclasico. This inflatable Boca Juniors pig was flown during a draw with River Plate in 2012. How did they even get this in the ground?


Auditus compliance software is built for organisations who perform health and safety assessments, compliance checks or quality assurance tests. A multi-lingual application, available online and offline on multiple platforms. Its state-of-the-art scoring system, risk alerts and powerful real-time reporting gives full visibility of your business' performance.
Overall: I previously worked with a system that required hand writing audit points down & transferring information onto an online sever - which was so time consuming & repetitive.
Auditus enables audits to be carried out & recorded on my tablet, taking relative photos - providing valuable visual information to the clients - final audit scores can be provided at the end of the audit - removing potential stress to site operators awaiting results.
Overall - I would highly recommend Auditus - as it has definitely made my life both easier & more productive - Thank You!!
It's so easy to use!!!
Pros: I have used the software for a few years now and love the offline and online abilities it brings. It's easy to take photos in the app and link them to noncompliance's so the clients can see the issues at their sites.

Q: Dependency injection library - renaming injected values I'd like to inject lodash by name, something like this:
let val = function(lodash){
   // lodash will be injected, simply by using require('lodash');
};

but say I want to rename the import, I want do something like this:
let val = function({lodash:_}){

};

or
let val = function(lodash as _){

};

is there a way to do this with either ES6/ES7/ES8 or TypeScript?
Note that this DI framework does more work than just require('x')...it will try to inject other values first, if nothing else exists, then it will attempt to require the value.
Note also that the requirements here are that when you call val.toString() then "lodash" would be seen as the argument name. But _ instead of lodash would be seen at runtime inside the function body. This is because in order to inject lodash, we call fn.toString() to get the argument names.

A: Update
Here's a link to the npm package di-proxy (inspired by this answer) with 100% code coverage, and support for memoization to increase performance, compatible with Node.js >=6.0.0.
Old answer
Here's an awesome solution I figured out while tinkering around with object destructuring and Proxy:

/* MIT License */
/* Copyright 2017 Patrick Roberts */
// dependency injection utility
function inject(callbackfn) {
  const handler = {
    get(target, name) {
      /* this is just a demo, swap these two lines for actual injection */
      // return require(name);
      return { name };
    }
  };
  const proxy = new Proxy({}, handler);

  return (...args) => callbackfn.call(this, proxy, ...args);
}

// usage

// wrap function declaration with inject()
const val = inject(function ({ lodash: _, 'socket.io': sio, jquery: $, express, fs }, other, args) {
  // already have access to lodash, no need to even require() here
  console.log(_);
  console.log(sio);
  console.log($);
  console.log(express);
  console.log(fs);
  console.log(other, args);
});

// execute wrapped function with automatic injection
val('other', 'args');
.as-console-wrapper {
  max-height: 100% !important;
}

How it works
Passing parameters to a function via object destructuring invokes the getter methods for each property on the object literal in order to determine the values when the function is executed.
If the object being destructured is initialized as a Proxy, you can intercept each getter invocation with a reference to the property name attempting to be resolved, and return a value you choose to resolve it with. In this case, the resolution should be the require(name), which injects the module just by specifying it as a property name in the function object parameter.
Below is a link to a demo where you can actually see it working in Node.js.
Try it online!
Here's the code in that demo just for reference, because it demonstrates object destructuring to a larger degree:
/* MIT License */
/* Copyright 2017 Patrick Roberts */
// dependency injection utility
function inject(callbackfn) {
  const handler = {
    get(target, name) {
      return require(name);
    }
  };
  const proxy = new Proxy({}, handler);

  return (...args) => callbackfn.call(this, proxy, ...args);
}

// usage

// wrap function declaration with inject()
const val = inject(function ({
  fs: { readFile: fsRead, writeFile: fsWrite },
  child_process: { fork: cpF, spawn: cpS, exec: cpE },
  events: { EventEmitter }
}, other, args) {
  // already have access to modules, no need to require() here
  console.log('fs:', { fsRead, fsWrite });
  console.log('child_process:', { fork: cpF, spawn: cpS, exec: cpE });
  console.log('EventEmitter:', EventEmitter);
  console.log(other, args);
});

// execute wrapped function with automatic injection
val('other', 'args');

As stated above, I have published a full npm package implementing this concept. I recommend you check it out if you like this syntax and want something a little more performant and tested than this very basic example.

A: There's no syntax in JavaScript that supports such mapping. Even if custom function signature parser were written to to provide desired behaviour for destructured params like function({lodash:_}) ..., it would fail for transpiled functions, which is a major flaw. The most straightforward way to handle this is
function foo(lodash){
  const _ = lodash;
  ...
}

And it obviously won't work for invalid variable names like lodash.pick.
A common practice for DI recipes to do this is to provide annotations. All of described annotations can be combined together. They are particularly implemented in Angular DI. Angular injector is available for standalone use (including Node) as injection-js library.
Annotation property
This way function signature and the list of dependencies don't have to match. This recipe can be seen in action in AngularJS.
The property contains a list of DI tokens. They can be names of dependencies that will be loaded with require or something else.
// may be more convenient when it's a string
const ANNOTATION = Symbol();

...

foo[ANNOTATION] = ['lodash'];
function foo(_) {
  ...
}

bar[ANNOTATION] = ['lodash'];
function bar() {
  // doesn't need a param in signature
  const _ = arguments[0];
  ...
}

And DI is performed like
const fnArgs = require('fn-args');
const annotation = foo[ANNOTATION] || fnArgs(foo);
foo(...annotation.map(depName => require(depName));

This style of annotations disposes to make use of function definitions, because hoisting allows to place annotation above function signature for convenience.
Array annotation
Function signature and the list of dependencies don't have to match. This recipe can be seen in AngularJS, too.
When function is represented as an array, this means that it is annotated function, and its parameters should be treated as annotations, and the last one is function itself.
const foo = [
  'lodash',
  function foo(_) {
  ...
  }
];

...

const fn = foo[foo.length - 1];
const annotation = foo.slice(0, foo.length - 1);
foo(...annotation.map(depName => require(depName));

TypeScript type annotation
This recipe can be seen in Angular (2 and higher) and relies on TypeScript types. Types can be extracted from constructor signature and used for DI. Things that make it possible are Reflect metadata proposal and TypeScript's own emitDecoratorMetadata feature.
Emitted constructor types are stored as metadata for respective classes and can be retrieved with Reflect API to resolve dependencies. This is class-based DI, since decorators are supported only on classes, it works best with DI containers:
import 'core-js/es7/reflect';

abstract class Dep {}

function di(target) { /* can be noop to emit metadata */ }

@di
class Foo {
  constructor(dep: Dep) {
    ...
  }
}

...

const diContainer = { Dep: require('lodash') };
const annotations = Reflect.getMetadata('design:paramtypes', Foo);
new (Foo.bind(Foo, ...annotations.map(dep => diContainer [dep]))();

This will produce workable JS code but will create type issues, because Lodash object isn't an instance of Dep token class. This method is primarily effective for class dependencies that are injected into classes.
For non-class DI a fallback to other annotations is required.

A: I have did something that may work for you,
but you can always change it and use the general idea.
It is written with ES6 features, but you can easily remove them.
let di = function() {
    const argumentsLength = arguments.length;

    //you must call this func with at least a callback
    if (argumentsLength === 0) return;
    //this will be called with odd amount of variables,
    //pairs of key and assignment, and the callback
    //means: 1,3,5,7.... amount of args
    if (argumentsLength%2 === 0) throw "mismatch of args";

    //here we will assing the variables to "this"
    for (key in arguments) {
        //skip the callback
        if(key===argumentsLength-1) continue;
        //skip the "key", it will be used in the next round
        if(key%2===0) continue;
        const keyToSet = arguments[key-1];
        const valToSet = arguments[key];
        this[keyToSet] = valToSet;
    }

    arguments[argumentsLength-1].apply(this);
}

di("name", {a:"IwillBeName"}, "whatever", "IwillBeWhatever", () => {
    console.log(whatever);
    console.log(name);
});

in the bottom line, you call the func "di"
pass in these args:
di("_", lodash, callback);

now inside you callback code, you could reference "lodash" with "_"

A: Given the answers, I still think what Angular 1.x (and RequireJS) does is the most performant, although perhaps not easiest to use:
let  = createSomething('id', ['lodash', function(_){

}]);

Did You Know? The First Widely Used Programming Language Was Fortran
Aanuoluwapo Olajide
Published on 22nd May 2019
ShareTweetWhatsappSave
Fortran is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. It was the first commercially available programming language and was the first widely used high level general purpose programming language to have a functional implementation, as opposed to just a design on paper. It was first developed in 1954 but its first manual appeared in 1956 by a team led by John Backus at IBM.
The name Fortran stands for FORmula TRANslating system and was designed at IBM for scientific and engineering applications. The components were very simple, and provided the programmer with low-level access to the computers innards. At first it was treated with suspicison but over time it became popular because it provided a means of porting existing code to new computers, in a hardware market that was rapidly evolving; the language eventually became known for its efficiency.
Programs for the earliest computers consisted of sequences of numerical codes. Each code represented a basic operation such as 'fetch a number from memory location X and put it in register A' or 'add the number in register A to the number in register B'. This style of programming was time-consuming and error-prone. Mistakes were difficult to find. By 1950, it had become possible to write programs using mnemonics such as ADD in place of the numerical codes. An assembler converted the mnemonics into the corresponding numerical codes. This made programming a little easier, but even a simple program required dozens of operations, and it was still difficult to track down mistakes.
The idea for Fortran was born out of the need to create a programming language in which a series of calculations can be expressed in something resembling mathematical notation. A translation program (a compiler) would then convert it into the numerical codes which the computer understood. By 1956, the team published a manual which described the IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System, or FORTRAN for short.
Today, this language would be considered restrictive as it only included IF, DO, and GOTO statements, but at the time, these commands were a big step forward. Fortran's design was the basis for many other programming languages. Fortran encompasses a lineage of versions, each of which evolved to add extensions to the language while usually retaining compatibility with prior versions. Successive versions have added support for structured programming and processing of character-based data (FORTRAN 77), array programming, modular programming and generic programming (Fortran 90), high performance Fortran (Fortran 95), object-oriented programming (Fortran 2003) and concurrent programming (Fortran 2008).
FORTRAN's growing popularity led many computer manufacturers to implement versions of it for their own machines. Each manufacturer added its own customizations, making it impossible to guarantee that a program written for one type of machine would compile and run on a different type. Today, Fortran is still a popular language for high-performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world's fastest supercomputers. It is also in continuous use for over six decades in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics, crystallography and computational chemistry.

5 Tips For Content Creators In 2021


It is the way of Jesus that the suffering of God's servants, God's ambassadors and representatives, is the way that glory goes to God, that our inherent and unavoidable purpose is fulfilled. If you doggedly make avoidance of suffering your highest priority, you will be misdirected away from the purest, most direct way that you can bring glory to God and thus be completely fulfilled.
It's not that you should be seeking out suffering, or that all cases of suffering maximize bringing glory to God (shall we increase all opportunities for pain, so that God's glory may abound?). But as you do your best to pursue God's will, to hear and obey His guidance, if it leads into or through suffering, you shouldn't be surprised or dismayed. You shouldn't fall into the trap of our era that believes that suffering is evidence of waste, worthlessness, error, or the absence of God. Instead of working to eliminate all instances of suffering, expect God to use your suffering to produce meaning, healing, and the advancement and fulfillment of His purposes.
