We celebrated Earth Day by helping clean up town by hosting our Annual Trash Off. Trash Off and River Clean-up are all part of "The Great American Cleanup" which is held by Keep America Beautiful annually from March 1-May 31. We had around 100 volunteers!


From time to time there's call for me to make a stand-alone science-based image. In 2007 I was part of the LOC for the IAU Symposium 244 : Dark Galaxies and Lost Baryons. As well as playing technician to get everyone's presentation working, I also made the cover image for the conference proceedings. It shows a galaxy cluster with the lost baryons as glowing gas, with a representation of a dark galaxy silohuetted against it.
I also made the image for the floor at a summer exhibition at the Royal Society. Cardiff's contribution was a booth dedicated to the Herschel and Planck space telescopes, with which we had major involvement. Rather pleasingly, this comes up 3rd in a Google image search for "Timeline of the Universe". It was also nice to see this displayed as a friggin' massive printout, something like 10x6 feet across. UPDATE : I found that the horizontal version of this image was used in 2012 presentation by none other than Stephen Hawking. Yes, the Stephen Hawking. You can watch it here; the image is visible at about the 7 minute mark.
For novelty value I'm also including the Welsh version. The translation was done by Rhodri Evans, also at Cardiff University.
More recently I was asked to create a very, very large timeline image for a wall display. I had a lot longer to work on this one and learned to use Blender 2.6 a little. You can find a much larger version here and a really large version here, but the full, 350 megapixel image is only available on request if you ask really nicely, or offer money, or lots of chocolate.
Visitors who for some reason don't want to download gigantic images can now view the timeline in-browser here.
For a public outreach activity (mostly aimed at schoolchildren) for the 2013 winter AAS, I made bookmarks illustrating stellar evolution. The "children" (some of them, well, weren't) tied coloured beads onto ribbons attached to one end, which each bead representing a stage in the life cycle of a star. They were popular to say the least - we gave away over 800 in 3 days (we "only" had 900 printed !). Which isn't half bad for an afternoon's work, I think.

I Took A Walk Before Every Meal For A Month To See If It Would Help Me Lose Weight. Here's What Happened.
By Judy Koutsky

I'm one of those people who really loves a good walk. I spent most of my adult life in Manhattan, where I walked everywhere. Now, as a travel writer, I find that walking around is really the best way to get to know the ins and outs of a new place. So when I was asked to take on an assignment where I had to walk before every meal for a month, I immediately agreed, feeling a bit smug about how easy it was going to be.
Before I started the experiment, though, I wanted to see if there was anything else in this for me besides a paycheck. According to research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, walking just 30 minutes a day can significantly decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and depression—even when it's broken down into shorter intervals. And University of Tennessee research found that the more steps you take, the more likely you are to be at a healthy weight. (Got 10 minutes? Then you've got time to lose the weight for good with Prevention's new 10-minute workouts and 10-minute meals. Get Fit in 10: Slim and Strong for Life now!)
The science is less straightforward when it comes to walking before meals specifically, says Angel Planells, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, but it's promising. "Studies that look at how appetite and weight are affected by pre-meal activity are split. I've found that holds true with my clients, too. Some overeat after moving around, while others become less hungry and may lose weight. It really depends on the person."
Challenge accepted. Here's how my month of pre-meal walking went.
My schedule took a hit—though not as bad as I expected.

Before the walking experiment started, I'd gotten into the habit of working out first thing in the morning (like trying these 4 simple exercises that keep you toned from Prevention Premium). Adding walking to the equation, though, meant that I had to wake up even earlier so I'd have enough time to walk to and from the gym. I had to tweak my lunchtime routine, too. Before starting this assignment, I would usually take a walk after lunch, as moving around always helped me lose that groggy over-stuffed lunch feeling. But I changed things up and started walking before lunch, instead. Happily, shifting things around was surprisingly easy.

I actually started to crave veggies.

I was shocked that walking before I ate didn't make me hungrier. It actually helped satiate my appetite, even just the short, 10-minute walks I usually took. I don't know if it was the endorphins or what, but it also put me in a healthy state of mind, making me more inclined to reach for a salad or a piece of chicken with vegetables. (See how this 15-minute after-dinner ritual helps Italians lose weight.)

Despite initial kid reluctance, it became a fun family activity.

Figuring out how to fit in a walk before dinner wasn't easy. I'm usually running around like crazy between my kids' various sporting activities and trying to squeeze in cooking dinners I wouldn't feel guilty about, so adding one more thing to the mix seemed more than a little daunting. Plus, the kids are always starving once they get home, so going out for a walk was the last thing they wanted to do. But in a moment of mom-inspiration, I decided to make it into a game: Every time my boys and I went out for a little pre-dinner walk, I'd let them select the route around our neighborhood—no matter how windy or odd it might be. Then we'd test each other to see if we knew any kids from school who lived along the way. Bonus: We'd often see neighbors and fellow walkers while we were out, which made me feel more like a part of my community. Our pre-dinner walk soon became a much-anticipated event in my home.
It didn't impact my weight.

While I rarely missed a walk, the number on my scale didn't change. But that didn't really surprise me. I had started a healthy regimen a year earlier, giving up booze, limiting my refined carbs, and working out regularly, so I felt like I was in a pretty good place, health- and weight-wise. Also, since I knew I'd be taking three daily walks, I wound up taking fewer steps throughout the day—like walking less and taking the subway more when I was in Manhattan—which couldn't have helped with the weight loss. (If losing weight is one of your walking goals, take a look at how to start on your walking journey if you have 50+ pounds to lose.)
But to be honest, I didn't say yes to this assignment to lose weight. I saw it as a way to get more fresh air and get the kids into walking—and I succeeded on both counts. It also made me determined to make it a habit to start walking more with my boys; I want to instill in them a love for walking, just like mine. I'm happy to say that we're still walking at night when we can, though I've got to admit that it's often after dinner.

About the Age Friendly Programme
The overarching goal of Ireland's Age Friendly Cities and Counties Programme is that every local authority area in Ireland will be a great place in which to grow old.
The Age Friendly Cities and Counties Programme is part of a worldwide, World Health Organisation (WHO) programme. The Programme is led by the local authorities working in partnership with older people, alongside a range of service providers and other relevant stakeholders. All local Age Friendly programmes are committed to embedding age friendliness through improved sustainable built environments, lifetime housing, improved public spaces, accessible public & private services, timely and accessible transport, sustained rural development and improved economic development.
The biggest challenge is that society has to change how it views ageing. The Programme asks us to imagine new ways in which service providers and other organisations can work together to deliver improvements in supports and services that not only benefit older people but the community as a whole.
Kerry County Council adopted the Kerry Age Friendly Strategy in September 2018. The challenge is to ensure that the learning from the work of the various agencies and community and voluntary sector is embedded formally into policies and practices.

NINTH U.S. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
The common-law agency test should be used to determine whether an entity is a joint employer under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, not the economic-reality test.
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Global Horizons, Inc. - filed Feb. 6, 2019
Cite as 2019 S.O.S. 16-35528
Full text click here >
Companies that marketed health insurance plans and allegedly charged excessive premiums did not act as fiduciaries of the plans because they did not exercise discretion over plan management or control over plan assets. ERISA does not preempt state-law claims based on defendants' alleged misrepresentations that the premiums charged reflected the actual medical premium amount because the claims did not have a reference to or an impermissible connection with an ERISA. A plaintiff seeking restitution or disgorgement for alleged charges it paid for kickbacks and unrequested benefits cannot assert a claim for equitable relief under 29 U.S.C. Sec. 1132(a)(2) since restitution and disgorgement are not equitable in nature.
The Depot, Inc. v. Caring for Montanans, Inc. - filed Feb. 6, 2019
CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL
An award of costs on an appeal is a final and enforceable judgment, even if trial is yet to be had. The availability of a less expensive option to obtaining an appeals bond does not make a litigant's decision to obtain a bond unreasonable or unnecessary.
Rostack Investments v. Sabella - filed Feb. 5, 2019, Second District, Div. Eight
Cite as 2019 S.O.S. 661
Senate Bill No. 1393's amendments to Penal Code Sec. 667(1) and Sec. 1385 apply retroactively to nonfinal judgments, but remand is not necessary if the record shows that a trial court would not have exercised its discretion to lessen the sentence for a defendant. Remand is still appropriate, out of an abundance of caution, where a trial court plainly was not sympathetic to a defendant, but the court lacked discretion to strike the enhancements against him at the time of sentencing.
People v. Johnson - filed Feb. 5, 2019, Fourth District, Div. One
Substantial evidence supported a juvenile court's finding that reasonable services were not provided to a child's father where a social worker ignored the father's requests for assistance, the child welfare agency did not make reasonable efforts to provide therapy to the father, and the agency unreasonably cancelled plans for a 60-day home visit. A juvenile court is authorized to extend reunification services up to the 24-month review date if the court determines that reasonable services were not provided or offered to the parent. A Sec. 366.26 hearing cannot be set at the 12-month and 18-month review hearing when reasonable services have not been provided or offered.
In re M.F. - filed Jan. 11, 2019, publication ordered Feb. 5, 2019, Fourth District, Div. One

The first Insidious was a sleeper hit back in 2011. Many people praised its more laid back approach to horror, while others disregarded it as an excuse for jump scares. When I initially saw it at the drive-in (still the best way to see a horror movie outside of a grindhouse screening!) it was on a double bill with Scream 4. I went in expecting that Insidious would be the vastly superior film and Scream 4 would be subpar. Imagine my surprise when I found Insidious to be an overly long boring mediocre film, and Scream 4 turned out to be the best entry in that series since the original. But this is not a review of either of those films, but the sequel.
I've done my best to go into the second installment in the budding franchise (it already appears Insidious Chapter 3 has entered pre-production) with a clean slate. The boring taste that the first film left in my mouth was mostly washed away by 2012's The Conjuring, from the same team. While not a classic by any means, it seemed to take everything that was wrong with the first Insidious and fixed and improved upon it. As well, many rumblings amongst the horror community were much more divided on the sequel, so I was indeed looking forward to it.
The film begins with a flashback sequence to Josh (Patrick Wilson as an adult, Garrett Ryan as a child in the flashback) and his first experience with the paranormal and help from a young Elise (Lindsay Seim in the flashback, the always awesome Lin Shaye in the current day). From there, the film picks up literally from the ridiculous ending of the original film, and moving on from there. Elise is now suspiciously dead, and Josh appears to be the main suspect despite not knowing of anything that has happened. After a brief interrogation scene with Josh's wife Renai (Rose Byrne) we see the family staying at the house of Josh's mother Lorraine (Barbara Hershey in the current day, Jocelin Donahue in flashbacks). One thing I can say for the film is the casting is fantastic, and everyone puts in a valiant effort.
The film bounces back and forth between the current day and the past. In the current day Josh and Renai are mostly tied to the house, while Lorraine has enlisted the help of Specs (Leigh Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson) from the original film, as well as Carl (Steve Coulter) who was present for the initial issues with Josh. As Lorraine and "the team" investigate an old abandoned hospital (cliché alert!) we get flashbacks to when Lorraine worked at the hospital when she was younger, and how it all ties in to their current ghost and possession problem.
To say the film is flawed would be an understatement, but there is good to be found. As I previously mentioned, the cast is top notch and gives it their all. The problem therein lies in the fact that they are hampered down by a cliché-ridden script. Just once in a horror movie I would like to see an abandoned hospital that isn't littered with creepy baby dolls ad old styled strollers. It's not that I am against clichés in my horror movies, hell, I watch and love almost every Friday The 13th movie. But sometimes there needs to be a limit on how many you can cram into a 2 hour movie. When you are getting hit with one every 5 minutes it becomes so incredibly noticeable that it begins to take away from the movie, and as such how much one can enjoy it. I mean, if you aren't well acquainted with horror, I suppose there is much here to like, but any hardened genrephile is going to spend a good chunk of the film rolling their eyes and trying not to laugh. And that is to say nothing of the lapses in space-time continuum.
Again, I have to praise the cast as they do the best with what they are given. Especially ironic is how enjoyable the character of Specs is, seeing as he wrote the script. But maybe he is just happy to be in front of the camera. Patrick Wilson also does a superb job with much of the script being reliant upon his performance, and he definitely gives it his all. Barbara Hershey and Rose Byrne are also fantastic as per their usual. It's almost frustrating seeing this good of a cast squandered, but perhaps one day they will find a great movie to submit their performances to.
As for the directing, it seemed like all the steps that James Wan took forward with last year's The Conjuring he stepped back with this sequel. He does a rather good job building suspense in many scenes, but just as the suspense is about to hit its boiling point, it is usually undermined by a musical sting or jump scare. I am not sure if this is entirely the fault of Wan, but regardless it hurts the film.
Overall, I think the films biggest problem is it doesn't bother to create its own identity. What starts out as a Poltergeist knock off merges into a weird cross between The Amityville Horror and The Shining, with a little bit of Norman Bates from Psycho syndrome thrown in just to mess it all up.
If it had been a cash-in sequel made by different people it'd be a little more understandable and become more forgivable, but it was the exact same team for the most part. The only thing one can fully assume is that they bothered putting all their effort into the vastly superior (but still flawed) Conjuring. In the end, it's hard to believe that it was as successful as it was, but I guess the movie going public just doesn't know good horror.
Insidious Chapter 2 just can't form its own identity and suffers strongly from what seems like too many ideas thrown into a blender and never fully mixed.

China ban on domestic ivory sales comes into force
Wildlife activists hail development as a major milestone in the history of elephant conservation.
by Yarno Ritzen
Wildlife activists hailed the ban as a major milestone in the history of elephant conservation [Reuters]
A ban on all sales of ivory products in China comes into force on Sunday, a move hailed by conservationists as an important step in the fight to protect endangered species such as African elephants.
China, one of the world's biggest markets for African ivory, announced last year that it would outlaw all domestic trade and processing by the end of 2017.
The move came after pressure that its vast demand for ivory - seen as a status symbol by some in the country - fuels elephant poaching in countries such as Kenya and Tanzania.
"Decades from now, we may point back to this as one of the most important days in the history of elephant conservation", Ginette Hemley, senior vice president for wildlife conservation at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said in a statement on Saturday.
"China has followed through on a great promise it made to the world, offering hope for the future of elephants."
One-off sale
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which took effect in 1975, banned international ivory trade in 1989. China, however, continued to allow ivory sales domestically.
In 2008, CITES, the UN agreement that bans the trade of endangered species, allowed a one-off sale to China of 70 tonnes of registered ivory stocks, said Peter Knights, chief executive officer of WildAid, a group working towards completely rooting out illegal wildlife trade.
{articleGUID}
"Consequently, the poaching went up quickly. We went from very few elephants being poached each year to about 33,000 a year at the peak around 2011", he told Al Jazeera.
Supporters of the one-off sale said at the time that pairing ivory supplies with China's massive demand would decrease poaching and reduce the illegal trade. Conservationists, however, said the move would have the opposite effect and increase demand.
"What we've seen is that when the trade is legal, the poaching goes up because it's easier to launder illegal ivory. Whereas if trade is illegal, then it's quite hard to do this", said Knights, adding that "traders were using legal ivory trade to bring in illegal ivory from Africa".
Major impact
After China announced its ban on the government-sanctioned ivory sale.s, change started happening immediately. Shops that sold ivory began closing, while the price of ivory plummeted.
Before the announcement, a kilogramme of ivory could cost as much as $2,100. After, the price dropped to about $500 per kilogramme.
More importantly, Knights said, the move has had a big impact in the countries where poaching is taking place.
"We're already seeing in Africa, in Kenya and Tanzania, that poaching has gone down dramatically. That's partly because they've upped their game against poaching, but also because the demand has gone down."
This does not only mean elephants have a better chance of surviving, but also African countries stand to benefit financially.
"One elephant can be worth about $1m in its lifetime in terms of tourism revenue. Obviously, if it's poached for its ivory the country gets nothing," said Knights.
Other markets?
The new rule however does not apply to the Chinese territory of Hong Kong, where the trade is still legal for at least another five years.
Knights, however, believes that change is coming there too.
"The mainland ban will impact Hong Kong," he said. "Sure, people can smuggle one or two small items for personal use, but people know they won't be able to resell it in large quantities in China - and that will lead to a decline in sales in Hong Kong as well."
Knights estimates that at "the end of the next couple of years it's going to be really just Japan that still allows legal trade".
"Unfortunately, they're adamant about keeping it going, despite buying ivory is a fairly new phenomenon there that sprung up in the 1960s, whereas China has had an ivory-carving tradition for centuries."
Despite China's ban, there is still the risk of affluent Chinese going abroad to buy ivory from other parts of Asia - in countries like Laos and Vietnam, where laws are less strict.
"Once the trade becomes illegal in one place, it pops up somewhere, but it's always in smaller quantities," said Knights.
"It is a whack-a-mole but the mole is getting smaller and smaller."

Home On being a Minimalist – An attitude for Minimalism
On being a Minimalist – An attitude for Minimalism
"You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need." —Vernon Howard
Have you ever wanted to live life joyfully with just the basic needs?
Have you ever felt that you are endlessly hoarding a lot of unnecessary stuffs?
Have you ever wanted a simple way of life?
Do you feel your mind cluttered which is mostly due to a lot of cluttered things at home?
There are a lot many times when I have bought dresses, books, unnecessary trinkets on a whim. Overtime they have occupied a lot of space at home.
Although, unconsciously I was on the spree of clearing a lot of clutter at home I wasn't quite upto it. I now acknowledge this change in me and I am exploring every moment and cherishing the new Minimalist that I am.
I did donate a lot of clothes to the orphanage and also helped my mother to declutter her kitchen space. But at the end of it I realized there were a lot of unused and old things which had to be given away. My mother did have some sentiments about the things but we eventually did it.
But in the last 8 months, I had been to a residential program and it clearly evoked the Minimalist in me. I have never been happier and at this moment I still feel I have a lot of stuffs which I want to give away. When I am considering to buy certain things, I am conscious in making my decision. It all depends on whether you are buying it for a reason or a whim or just plainly hoarding things for the future.
I am pretty conscious in making decisions now and embracing this new lifestyle change. My Mother had her eyes rolled when I said, " We have to give away all the unused useless things!" But she gave in and we have cleared a lot of things and home feels better, warmer and happier with lesser things.
We shall explore Minimalism in all aspects. Don't leave this space!

Chip and Joanna Gaines Photo by HGTV
Be still, our shiplap-loving hearts. Chip and Joanna Gaines will soon start filming the revival of their HGTV home renovation series Fixer Upper. But this time around, when it airs on their upcoming Magnolia Network, there'll be some changes.
A casting call for the sixth season says producers are asking people in and around Waco, Texas, to have a renovation budget of $50,000, compared to $30,000 in season 5. That could mean the renos will be extra-extensive and extra-stunning — or that they just don't have as high a production budget as the show did when it was on HGTV.
Fixer Upper revival to feature some changes Back to video
Also new: Only applicants who've recently closed on a house, or are already moved in, are eligible. In the past, the show featured house-hunting drama at the beginning of each episode, and it's unclear whether that will remain.
Magnolia Network, a joint venture with Discovery Inc., will replace DIY Network in the U.S. when it debuts. Its Oct. 4 launch was indefinitely delayed due to the pandemic. No word on whether its shows will air in Canada.

65% of English NHS trusts exceeded first wave peak for Covid patients last week. Exclusive: number of Covid patients could be twice that of April 2020 peak within weeks
(Bloomberg) -- Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc.'s top executives are in Paris seeking to salvage a $20 billion bid for Carrefour SA as officials from Canada press the French government to relax its objections to the deal.Pierre Fitzgibbon, the economy minister in Couche-Tard's home province of Quebec, said he would speak with French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire Friday to apply "positive pressure" in favor of the transaction. Fitzgibbon said he would stress the close-knit relationship between the province and France that has facilitated previous deals, including Alstom SA's purchase of Bombardier Inc.'s rail unit, announced last year.Couche-Tard "could be a very strategic shareholder that would benefit Carrefour's operations in France," Fitzgibbon said to reporters.The Canadian convenience-store operator plans to pump 3 billion euros ($3.6 billion) into the French supermarket operator over five years, according to a person familiar with the situation, as part of a set of assurances to the government of President Emmanuel Macron.Other pledges include preserving jobs for two years, keeping Carrefour's headquarters in France and maintaining stock listings in France as well as Canada, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information isn't public.Carrefour shares gave up some of this week's gains after Le Maire said he was prepared to give a "clear and definitive no" to a deal, falling 2.9% to 16.61 euros in Paris. Couche-Tard's offer is for 20 euros per share; both sides see room for negotiation on the final price, according to people familiar with the situation.A Carrefour representative didn't respond to requests for comment.Le Maire previously cited concerns about a French supermarket chain falling into foreign hands, saying the country needs to maintain domestic control over its food supply. France recently beefed up its authority to block foreign takeovers."We have the legal instrument available to us," Le Maire said Friday. "I'd rather not have to use it, but will if needed."The finance ministry is ready to study the proposal once the Canadian side officially presents it, people familiar with the matter said earlier this week. They said Macron's administration plans to take as long as needed to assess its impact on jobs and the sector.Despite Le Maire's strident comments, Couche-Tard Chief Executive Officer Brian Hannasch and other managers are in Paris negotiating with Carrefour's leadership in an effort to come up with a package that's palatable to the French company's shareholders and the government, according to a person familiar with the situation.Couche-Tard shares were up 5.1% to C$38.10 as of 12:47 p.m. Toronto time. Prior to Friday's gains, they had fallen for eight consecutive days.In Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hinted that his government is prepared to throw its weight behind the company's effort. "Our role as a government is always to be there to support Canadian companies including as they look to expand around the world. I know that discussions continue to be ongoing and I won't make any further comments on that," he told reporters Friday in Ottawa.Biggest EmployerCarrefour employs around 100,000 people in France and is the country's largest private employer, with stores ranging from convenience outlets to giant hypermarkets dotting the landscape.The company has been implementing a turnaround plan under Chief Executive Officer Alexandre Bompard that involves investments in online shopping and organic food. Analysts point to the absence of geographical overlap between the companies.The investment plan was reported first by Les Echos, which is owned by Bernard Arnault's LVMH. Arnault also controls a 5.5% stake in Carrefour.If Couche-Tard goes ahead with its bid, it would need to submit its plans for screening by the Finance Ministry, which has 30 days to respond to such requests, to which it can add 45 days for a deeper examination. No reply from the government amounts to a refusal. In parallel, or before that, Couche-Tard could start informal negotiations on the commitments it'd be ready to make.French Revolution"If Carrefour's board of directors and reference shareholders see a real strategic interest in the deal and manage to convince the Finance Ministry, the door could open," said Pascal Bine, Paris-based partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.But that's not a given in a country where riots over the availability of bread set in motion a process that toppled the monarchy in 1789, Bine added."Since the Covid crisis, a new paradigm has emerged, aimed at preserving the economic sovereignty of the country, including the supply of essential goods and services," he said. "If people are not fed, it's the Revolution."(Updates with further comments from Canadian officials, share price changes)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

It was a ruling that could be a lifeline for many small businesses, but came too late for others. The Supreme Court today has passed down a judgement which means insurers will likely have to pay out to roughly 370,000 businesses which have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Following the ruling, policyholders can now claim for losses caused by the government's directive to close their businesses, despite the fact that the law mandating such action only came into effect later on.

(Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks fell for a second day after Wells Fargo & Co. dragged down the banking sector in the wake of disappointing fourth-quarter results. Crude oil declined from a 10-month high as the dollar strengthened.The energy and financial sectors led the S&P 500 into the red, with Exxon Mobil Corp. dropping more than 5% after a report said the company is being investigated for overvaluing assets. Utilities and real estate shares rose. Stocks were already lower in Europe and Asia as President-elect Joe Biden's much-anticipated $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan came under scrutiny. Treasury yields declined.Optimism about the U.S. aid package had helped spur the so-called reflation trade, but the plan is far from a done deal. Biden's proposal could be watered down under congressional opposition, and there's the possibility that some taxes could rise."There's just a realization that this is a starting point for negotiations -- there's a little bit of a reality that this isn't going to be a smooth quick process," said John Porter, head of equities at Mellon Investments Corp.Biden's "American Rescue Plan" includes a wave of new spending, more direct payments to households, an expansion of jobless benefits and an enlargement of vaccinations and virus-testing programs as deaths reach record levels and local governments expand lockdowns.Attention is now turning to how much of the package will ultimately get passed by Congress, with the go-big price tag and the inclusion of proposals set to be opposed by many Republicans. As lawmakers wrangle over details, U.S. jobless claims published Thursday painted a dismal picture and the U.S. is leading all countries in virus deaths with New York state reporting more than 200 daily fatalities for the first time since May."Biden's big fiscal plans are out of the bag, and now the current dire situation is countering U.S. reflation hopes," Antoine Bouvet, a senior rates strategist at ING Groep NV, wrote in a note.

Lebanon's parliament approved a draft law allowing imports of coronavirus vaccines as the tiny nation hit a new record in case numbers Friday and more hospitals reported they were at full capacity. Lebanon, a tiny Mediterranean country of about 6 million people, has witnessed a sharp increase of cases in recent weeks, after some 80,000 expatriates flew in to celebrate Christmas and New Year. During the holiday season, restrictions were eased to encourage spending by expatriates amid a suffocating economic and financial crisis, the worst in Lebanon's modern history.

Q: What are the various join types in Spark? I looked at the docs and it says the following join types are supported:

Type of join to perform. Default inner. Must be one of: inner, cross,
  outer, full, full_outer, left, left_outer, right, right_outer,
  left_semi, left_anti.

I looked at the StackOverflow answer on SQL joins and top couple of answers do not mention some of the joins from above e.g. left_semi and left_anti. What do they mean in Spark?

A: Loved Pathikrit's example. Here is a possible translation in Java using Spark v2 and dataframes, including cross-join.
package net.jgp.books.sparkInAction.ch12.lab940AllJoins;

    AllJoinsApp app = new AllJoinsApp();
    app.start();
  }

          joinType);
      df.orderBy(dfLeft.col("id")).show();
    }
  }
}

I'll put this example in the Spark in Action, 2e's chapter 12 repository.

A: Spark data frame support following types of joins between two dataframes.
Please find the list of joins and joining string with respect to join types along with scala syntax.
We can use following joining values used for specify the join type in Scala- Spark code.
***Mathod:*** Leftdataframe.join(Rightdataframe, join_conditions, joinStringName)

Join Name : Join String name in scala -Spark code

1. inner : 'inner'
2. cross: 'cross'
3. outer: 'outer'
4. full: 'full'
5. full outer: 'fullouter'
6. left : 'left'
7. left outer : 'leftouter'
8. right : 'right'
9. right outer : 'rightouter'
10. left semi: 'leftsemi'
11. left anti: 'leftanti'

example: 1. Left Semi join:
Leftdataframe.join(Rightdataframe, join_conditions, "leftsemi");
2. inner Join Example:
Leftdataframe.join(Rightdataframe, join_conditions, "inner");

Its tested and working well.

A: Here is a simple illustrative experiment:
import org.apache.spark.sql._

object SparkSandbox extends App {
  implicit val spark = SparkSession.builder().master("local[*]").getOrCreate()
  import spark.implicits._
  spark.sparkContext.setLogLevel("ERROR")

  val left = Seq((1, "A1"), (2, "A2"), (3, "A3"), (4, "A4")).toDF("id", "value")
  val right = Seq((3, "A3"), (4, "A4"), (4, "A4_1"), (5, "A5"), (6, "A6")).toDF("id", "value")

  println("LEFT")
  left.orderBy("id").show()

  println("RIGHT")
  right.orderBy("id").show()

  val joinTypes = Seq("inner", "outer", "full", "full_outer", "left", "left_outer", "right", "right_outer", "left_semi", "left_anti")

  joinTypes foreach { joinType =>
    println(s"${joinType.toUpperCase()} JOIN")
    left.join(right = right, usingColumns = Seq("id"), joinType = joinType).orderBy("id").show()
  }
}

and before you know it, you will have enough time to do it well".
By starting early, we do not want you to start years or many months in advance. We are talking about that 'little extra'.
Here are a few tips for a great start. If you have alredy begun, you can check if you have covered most of the tips below.
When entering the war zone with no clue whatsoever, having someone to a guide you is a boon. Connect with people who understand you and will be there when you need them.
ii. Do keep an eye for new books. Some new books are better than the popular ones. For instance, you may like Biochemistry Wave, Concepts in Pathology, Review of Physiology etc if you check them out. If you follow the herd, you wouldn't get further than the herd.
What you feed your body is as important as what you feed the brain. Healthy and easily digestible food has an effect on triggering positivity and helping you stay in the state of flow for longer. That being said, you can cheat the diet plan occasionally and not feel bad about it.
Hitting the gym may not be possible for most of us. But you easily compensate with few minutes of walking, taking the stairs, doing the neck, upper limb and lower limb stretches twice or thrice a day. Take care of your body and stay healthy during the course of your preparation.
This is more important in the initial days, when you are just learning to dance. Games and reading great books will keep your mind sharp and optimistic as you gear yourself up for the challenge ahead of you.
Some people just completely fall off from the grid. Though it is good not to get distracted it is also not good to get isolated. Talk to your friends and immediate family. Go out for a coffee. Catch a movie after you complete a month of serious preparation. It could make you happy, rejuvenated and do wonders to your brain.
Your plans should not be "i will study till 2 pm" it should be "i will study 2 lessons" and the difference is actually phenomenal.
Finished that long chapter, give your brain a break to enjoy the milestone.
Actionable milestones or goals are super important because they work. "I only have 8 months to learn 19 subjects!!!" vs "I will cover Anatomy in the first 2 weeks, revise for 2 days and then start the next :-) ". Feel the difference?
Unpredictable things like bad weather, family emergency or health problems may hinder your study session. Always have a plan B in your mind, if not on paper. Switch to Plan B if you have to, and do it with confidence. Eg. "If time doesn't permit, these are the stuff I will skip :-)".
An early start allows you to enjoy learning without being bugged by time. A smart start puts you on the path to success right from day one. So, what are you waiting for?
Did we miss out on anything important regarding getting started? Please post your thoughts in the comments.

MBB Lead: Go West, young 'Cats
Kyle Scudilla
Twenty-two wins, a No. 19 RPI, a seventh-ranked strength of schedule and 11 road/neutral court wins make a great tournament resume, but a season isn't validated until CBS Sports' Greg Gumbel announces a team's name on the annual "NCAA Basketball Championship Selection Show."
The Villanova Wildcats had their season's work validated when they were announced as a recipient of one of the selection committee's at-large bids, earning the No. 9 seed in the West region. The first-round pairing and potential second-round matchup with Kansas puts the young Wildcats on a crash course with some real NCAA history.
"We're seeing a very tough, physical team," Villanova Head Coach Jay Wright said about his team's opening game against the No. 8-seeded Kentucky Wildcats. "The coach is tournament-tested. He's going to have them ready."
Wright can now add himself to the list of tournament-tested coaches, guiding Villanova to the NCAA tournament for the third year in a row in 2007, making it the first time since 1995-1997 that the Wildcats earned a tourney selection three years in a row.
But Wright has said all year that a lot of the credit for getting this young roster, made up in large part by 10 freshmen and sophomores, ready goes to seniors Curtis Sumpter, Mike Nardi and Will Sheridan. He has praised their ability to act as leaders on and off the floor and lead a maturation process that was vital to the 'Cats' ability to survive the challenging Big East.
"Any success that the younger guys experience in the future will be in part because of our seniors," Wright said.
Sumpter stands out as the strongest remaining link on the roster from less successful years of Villanova basketball to the success and prosperity the team has experienced in the last few seasons. The forward from Brooklyn joined the team in the '02-'03 season when the Wildcats finished just 15-16 and landed in the NIT. It wouldn't be until his junior year that the team would improve enough to earn an NCAA tournament berth. In just his second NCAA tournament game, Sumpter tore his ACL during Villanova's win over Florida en route to the Sweet Sixteen. He sat out all of last season with a second ACL tear and watched from the bench as the Wildcats had a record-setting season and made a trip to the Elite Eight. Despite battling injuries this season, Sumpter led the team in scoring and rebounding and is in perhaps the best shape he's been in all season and ready to teach what he has learned over the course of his postseason days with the likes of Allan Ray, Randy Foye and Jason Fraser to the newer faces of the Villanova basketball program.
Two of those new faces have made their presences felt on the team, particularly since Big East play began and the Wildcats got their tournament run kick-started with a big January win at Georgetown. Scottie Reynolds has rapidly established himself as one of the country's most exciting freshmen and is garnering a lot of attention headed into Villanova's first-round visit to Chicago. The point guard was second in the Big East with 18.4 points per game in the conference play this season.
Reynolds is happy that his tournament debut will be in a place he used to call home.
"When they announced everything, I just hoped that we were in and that we were going to Chicago," said Reynolds, who lived in the Windy City during some of his teenage years.
Reynolds hasn't been the only freshman earning praise and respect from his coaching staff and teammates. Fellow guard Reggie Redding has seen his playing time skyrocket and, especially lately, has rewarded Wright's faith in him. Starting twice in the Big East tournament for the injured Nardi, Redding averaged 10 points per game, tying his career-high of nine points against DePaul and then topping it with 11 against Georgetown.
Redding's hustle play on defense and increased scoring in the tournament made Reynolds "proud to be his roommate."
While Redding filled in admirably for Nardi, the Wildcats will need to be at full strength to tackle their tough conference draw, which features seven teams who ranked in the Top 20 in RPI. Nardi has been hampered by a bruised left calf and saw little playing time off the bench in the Big East tournament. The senior guard does not want the injury to keep him from playing in what will be his final NCAA tournament, so he said he will be ready to play on Friday. He has joined the team this week for practice drills and is hopeful that the injury will be healed close to, if not, 100 percent by the time Villanova tips off with Kentucky.
The week off between the loss to Georgetown and the game against Kentucky should aid Redding in healing a minor ankle injury he experienced in the DePaul game. Villanova is also hopeful that sophomore forward Shane Clark, who played with a wrap on his left knee during the conference tournament and looked limited in his lateral movement, will be healthy by the time the team reaches the United Center.
While many Villanova fans were somewhat upset with the No. 9 seed, thinking the team's high RPI and quality wins should have earned it a better draw, the seeding does give the team the ability to create history. Villanova was, of course, a No. 8 seed back in 1985 when it became the lowest seed ever to win the NCAA championship. The Wildcats also have won more NCAA tournament games than any other program in which it has been the lower seeded team.
To make history, a team has to beat history, and if Villanova can knock off Kentucky and Kansas in Chicago, it will be well on its way to doing that once again.

To be able to extend service time as well as improve the combat capability of the BRDM-2 in Vietnam, it needs to be upgraded comprehensively. And one of the possible alternatives is to turn the BRDM-2 into unmanned combat vehicles.
Theoretically, this option is quite suitable for the BRDM-2, as it is rather small in design, it is difficult to deploy more heavy weapons or expand the capacity of troops. The automation of the BRDM-2's operational capability and the upgrading of the automatic weapons system is the most modern modality of application for the BRDM-2.

With the current national defense technology, our military can completely upgrade BRDM-2 or similar armored vehicles in the direction of automating the combat capability or self-propelled combat operations.
The improvement of the BRDM-2 from a manned vehicle to a unmanned vehicle will also be a major barrier to the upgrading of this model in the country. But that does not mean it does not work.
Currently, Vietnam has successfully fabricated and tested a 12.7mm automatic anti-aircraft weapon combination, so that we can actively use this weapon combination on the upgraded variant of BRDM-2 instead. old 14.5mm gun turret.
In addition to combat capabilities, the 12.7mm automatic weapons combination also allows field-based reconnaissance operators in real time but without the need to sit in the vehicle, which can be several kilometers away.
Another upgraded Georgia variant for the BRDM-2 with an automatic weapons combo carrying 12.7mm heavy machine guns.
About the design of a prototype BRDM-2, it weighs only 7 tons with 4-person combat tanks and is equipped with a maximum thickness of 10mm. The main weapon of this reconnaissance vehicle is a 14.5mm machine gun and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun.
in depend what version FV 701. FV 701 MK 1/2 had better armour than brdm2. Frontal turret armour to 32mm. The hinged two part hatch armour was 25mm thick.

Alguém sabe me dizer por que isso acontece?

//book.js
export default class Book {
  constructor(title, author) {
    this._title = title;
    this._author = author;
  }
  get title() {
    return this._title;
  }
  set title(title) {
    this._title = title;
  }
  get author() {
    return this._author;
  }
  set author(author) {
    this._author = author;
  }
  printDescription() {
    console.log(`The book ${this._title} was written by ${this._author} `);
  }
}

//main.js
import Book from "./book.js";

const Book01 = new Book("O nome do vento", "Patrick Rothffus");

Book01.printDescription();

A: No caso de uma utilização experimental há duas maneiras de se fazer import e export.
A primeira maneira é criar um arquivo package.json na pasta atual, e logo em seguida colocar neste mesmo arquivo {"type":"module"}. Para executar o arquivo .js é só colocar:
$ node --experimental-modules index.js

no lugar do index.js coloque o nome do arquivo que você quer executar.

A segunda maneira é nos arquivos que você for executar trocar o código de importação de
import Book from "./book.js";

para
import Book from "./book.mjs";

e mudar as extensões de .js para .mjs, e então executar:
$ node --experimental-modules index.mjs

no lugar do index.mjs colocar o nome do arquivo que você quer executar.

No caso de uma utilização não experimental:
//book.js
class Book {
  constructor(title, author) {
    this._title = title;
    this._author = author;
  }
  get title() {
    return this._title;
  }
  set title(title) {
    this._title = title;
  }
  get author() {
    return this._author;
  }
  set author(author) {
    this._author = author;
  }
  printDescription() {
    console.log(`The book ${this._title} was written by ${this._author} `);
  }

module.exports = Book;

//main.js
const Book = require("./book.js")

const Book01 = new Book("O nome do vento", "Patrick Rothffus");

Book01.printDescription();
