Since 1994, the 21st September has marked World Alzheimer's Day: a day dedicated to raising awareness and spreading information about this disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 47.5 million people have dementia globally. No less than 7.7 million cases are diagnosed each year, that's a new case every four seconds.
Eat real, unprocessed, varied food, especially colourful fruits and vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains, with the goal of feeling satisfied. Season with good oils (olive and canola). Enjoy fatty fish and lean meats (especially poultry).
As part of our partnership with the Federation of Quebec Alzheimer Societies, on 20th June we were invited to take part in a round table discussion "The Effects of Nutrition on Alzheimer's Disease." The discussion took place as part of Quebec's Alzheimer Societies annual meeting. Dr. Christiane Laberge was the moderator.
Dr. Pierrette Gaudreau, professor at the department of medicine at Montreal University, presented the results of a Quebec study NuAge, while Dr. Guylaine Ferland, professor in the department of nutrition at Montreal University, discussed the NutCog study. Our Nutrition Director, Danielle Lamontagne, and myself presented our Alzheimer Meal Plans.
It was an enriching experience and we thank the Federation of Quebec Alzheimer Societies for this opportunity.
Do you want to do all you can to prevent Alzheimer's disease? Then give our Alzheimer meal plans a go.

LATITUDE OF EXPRESSION : GROUP EXHIBITION
Saturday, October 15th, 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
Public Viewing : October 15th -November 5th.
Address: 220 Commerce Street, Houston, TX 77002.
Mitochondria Gallery is pleased to present "Latitude of Expression," a group exhibition featuring ten emerging visual artists from East to West Africa, telling stories from their various perspectives. Latitude of Expression presents viewers a glimpse into the visual language of emerging art hubs across the continent such as Douala, Kigali, Ibadan, and Nairobi. The works in the exhibition explore landscape and portraiture in the form of drawings and paintings. Mediums such as acrylic, oil, charcoal, and ink are implemented to create beautiful images on canvas and paper. This exhibition features new works from Manzi Leon, Junior Mudahunga, Isaac Manirumva, Alpha Odh, Kingsley Tamfou, Olaniyi Omotayo, Franklin Ndibam, Emeka Okoye, Victoria Oniosun, and Kolawole Adewale. Employing styles in the form of realism with elements of abstraction through their work, these artists capture nostalgic and inspirational elements of their environment in a period where aspects of the world are changing at an accelerated rate. The depiction of everyday life, celebration of individuality, community, shared history, and the impacts of globalization are concepts explored in the exhibition. Latitude of Expression is an ode to the beautiful synergy that is created through diversity.

This wouldn't be the first time Todd Snyder has teamed up with Timex, and we certainly hope that it won't be the last. For their latest endeavor, the duo has teamed up for a brand-new military watch collaboration, inspired by the models from the 1970s and now re-invented for everyday wear.
The new take on the classic sees the look being upgraded with contemporary technology, such as an INDIGLO Night-Light and 50 meter water resistance, while maintaining the most important elements of the base design in the dial and face.
There is no indiglo in this model.

Questions surround Oakland pot legalization vote
The idea of huge football field sized marijuana fields has some Bay Area people and governments very excited. But, ABC7 legal analyst Dean Johnson says the federal government could quickly put an end to the expansion of marijuana growing operations.
"For example, we found a large scale grow in Oakland -- something that exceeded 1,000 plants, that would involve a 10 year mandatory minimum sentence in federal prison and the penalties could go up from their depending upon the facts," said Dean Johnson.
Johnson said local U.S. attorneys have been advised not to spend too much time or money on marijuana prosecution right now, but that could change quickly and painfully.
"If it becomes too egregious, if the violation becomes too large and too blatant, the federal authorities might very well decide to get back into the marijuana prosecution business and some people who thought they were just opening legitimate businesses under state law may find themselves in federal prison," said Johnson.
Until the feds make a move, pot growing has the green light in Oakland; though some wonder if the larger growers will be able to match the quality of the small growers.
"There would be a big problem with the product. It would be the difference between a fine wine from a Napa vineyard and a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20," said Harborside Health Center's Steve DeAngelo.
Some say the 8 to 12 percent pot tax under consideration by Oakland officials would ruin the industry in that city. But supporters say it's an industry that needs not only taxing, but regulating.
"We have a lot of social problems, such as public fires, hostile takeovers, home invasions that stem from this largely unregulated cultivation," said large grower candidate Dhar Mann.

1 Comment on "New York: Chinese immigrant sold hot dogs made with real dog meat"
Did you read "Killing dogs and cats for meat is still legal in 44 U.S. states"? I guess only a big deal when Asian eats but you might not know white folks eat, too. I know for sure in Europe they eat horse and Asian don't eat horse! FYI, I don't eat dog, cat, or rat but I don't blame their culture neither!

ITU teams with WHO to introduce global Covid-19 text alerts
Previous Article stc Kuwait launches 'Ramadan Lives On' campaign
Next Article Batelco pledges $8.2 million to Covid-19 campaign
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) have announced their intention to work with telecommunication companies to urgently introduce a coronavirus text messaging service for the billions of people worldwide who aren't able to connect to the internet for information.
In a joint statement, the global bodies, backed by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), said the goal is to send vital health messages to everyone, but above all the estimated 3.6 billion people who remain offline, especially those living in low-income countries, where an average of just two out of every ten people are online. "Now more than ever, technology must ensure that everyone can access the information they need," the statement said.
The collaboration will begin across the Asia-Pacific region before being rolled out to the rest of the world, said the partners, adding that the initiative builds on current efforts to disseminate health messages through the joint WHO-ITU BeHealthy BeMobile campaign.
In a statement, the WHO and ITU described Covid-19 as the first pandemic where technology and social media can be used on a massive scale to keep people safe. "Resilient and trustworthy telecommunication networks and services are essential, as more countries, companies and individuals turn to digital technologies to respond to and cope with the impact of Covid-19," they said.
Building on their longstanding collaboration, ITU and WHO are committed to identifying and scaling best evidence-based digital health solutions and to leveraging frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to diagnose, contain and predict outbreaks better and faster.

A lot of us rely on third-party repair shops when our Macs go bust. But according to a report by MacRumors, Apple's new security chip (called T2) will prevent any component replacements in the new MacBook Pros and iMac Pro from non-authorised repair centers.
An internal document – distributed to Apple Authorized repair centers – obtained by MacRumors suggests that after replacing components, a 'system configurations' software checks if the replaced parts are authentic.
After a T2-equipped Apple system is repaired, it'll only boot up if a diagnostic software called Apple Service Toolkit 2 gives it a green signal. The software is only available to authorized repair centers, and functions only when connected to Apple's Global Service Exchange (GSX) cloud server for repairs.
The security check applies to repairs involving the display, logic board, Touch ID, and top case including the keyboard, battery, trackpad, and speakers for 2018 MacBook Pro. Meanwhile, for Mac Pro, the check only applies to logic board and flash storage replacements.
Apple's new policy might hurt a lot of small-time repair shops who had built up relationships with customers by offering good service. Customers who don't have an authorized service center in their area will also face difficulties in getting their Macs repaired. We have asked Apple for a comment and will update the story accordingly.
Apple is currently fighting "Right to repair" legislation in the US which would require the company to make repair parts, tools, repair guides, and diagnostic software public.
Earlier this year, Apple refused to replace troublesome iPhone batteries if the devices passed a diagnostic test – but later relented and offered unconditional replacements. Hopefully, it'll see sense in this instance as well.

Fired up Nick Saban not happy with biography, anyone profiting from his story
Updated: Jan. 13, 2019, 5:11 p.m. | Published: Aug. 06, 2015, 9:36 p.m.
By Michael Casagrande | mcasagrande@al.com
Watch Nick Saban get upset about his unauthorized biography Nick Saban said he does not approve of any unauthorized biography at his first press conference of the fall preseason.
How's Nick Saban feel about the Nick Saban book?
He's not real happy with it, the timing of its release or much else about it. Ending his news conference Thursday, Saban wanted to make a statement about the unauthorized biography released Tuesday.
Saban's voice got louder as he spoke passionately.
"I just want everybody to know that I'm opposed to an unauthorized biography on anybody," Saban said. "If some person that you don't even know (is) trying to profit by your story or someone else's story."
RELATED: Writer responds to Saban's rant
The book's author, Monte Burke, previously told AL.com he spoke with Saban before starting the project and after it was complete. The Forbes writer said Saban wasn't going to help but wasn't actively trying to stop the project. In the end, Burke said the book was a "net positive" for Saban because it humanized his story.
Saban contributed to a biography released in his time at LSU and hinted at another in the future.
"One of these days when I'm finished coaching at Alabama, I'll write an authorized book because there's only one expert on my life and guess who that is ... me. And there won't be any misinformation. There won't be any false statements. There won't be any hearsay. There won't be any expert analysis from anybody else. It will be the real deal. And I'm not really ready for that to happen and it's a little amazing to me that the timing of all this happening right when we're starting camp. I just want everybody out there and all of our fans to know, it's not going to be a distraction to us and it's never going to get discussed again."
"But since I'm not finished yet at Alabama, we're not writing any books yet. But when we decide to write an authorized book, it will have the truth -- the whole truth and nothing but the truth."

    }
System.out.println(abc);
}

public List<Integer> getNum() {
    return abc;
}
}

I have two other JPanel classes: Main_1.java, Snd.java
Basically when I open the application, it will show Main_1.java. I enter some values and it run something in Calculate.java. Then when I click the next button btnNext, it's supposed to display the processed data onto the next card Snd.java. But I got java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to run the application.
NPE at this line label.setText(_cal.getNum().get(0).toString());

I understand why it's giving NPE but I don't know how to solve it. When I run the program, I don't understand why it's trying to run Snd.java as well because I didn't click any button to go to the next card, which is Snd.java.
This is just a runnable example which is to show what I want to achieve. Basically I want to process something in Main_1.java and transfer the data to Snd.java where I will do another process there.

A: In your example, your problem is that your newly created Calculate has abc set to null implicitly; you don't initialize it in the default constructor. Since it's null, you can't use isEmpty() etc. on it. Use proper
private List<Integer> abc = new ArrayList<Integer>();

in the class constructor/initalizer/whatever before using it to fix it.

A: In CardWindow.initialize() on line 59 you call:
panel_2 = new Snd();

This, in turn, leads to Snd.<init>() on line 18 which is:
label.setText(_cal.getNum().get(0).toString());

If we break this into separate lines:
label.setText(
  _cal
  .getNum()     // this returns null
  .get(0)       // causing a NullPointerException here
  .toString());

Because _cal is defined like so:
Calculate _cal = new Calculate();

And the no-argument constructor for Calculate is empty, leaving List<Integer> abc set to null.

How you fix this depends on what behavior you want.  At a glance, it doesn't look like Calculate should have a no-argument constructor; perhaps you should remove it and only initialize _cal once you have a number to pass.
Since you say you don't want to call Snd yet, an alternative would be to avoid constructing a Snd instance in CardWindow.initialize().

A: This is not a complete answer, more a pointer in the right direction of how (commonly) NPEs occur.
I changed in Caluclate.java to
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Calculate
{
    private final List<Integer> abc = new ArrayList<>();

    public Calculate(String number) {
        abc.clear ();
        int num = Integer.valueOf(number);
        for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
            abc.add(i);
        }
        System.out.println(abc);
    }

    public List<Integer> getNum() {
        return abc;
    }
}

The main difference is that

*

*The list is once initialized, meaning you can always guarantee that it exists when you invoke your getNum () method.

*Instead of redeclaring it (still possible, do not you have to remove the final keyword if you want that to be possible) it now makes use of the ArrayList.clear () instead of declaring a new list.

Some more notes involve

*

*Making use of the diamond operator <>, introduced in Java7

*Added some more spacing in the code, let it breath.

*Removed the constructor as it did nothing.

You will have trouble with your code when using it like you are in your Snd.java class.
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class Snd extends JPanel
{
    /**
     * Create the panel.
     */
    public Snd() {
        setLayout(null);

        Calculate _cal = new Calculate();

        JLabel label = new JLabel("New label");
        label.setBounds(180, 120, 61, 16);
        add(label);
        label.setText(_cal.getNum().get(0).toString()); // problem occurs here
    }
}

Why? Because abc wasn't initialized. You had to invoke Calculate with its String constructor. Which you weren't.

Dragon Innovation, the Boston-area hardware consulting firm, has been acquired by one of its partners, Avnet, for an undisclosed price.
Phoenix-based global distributor Avnet (NYSE: AVT) says it offers a mix of product design and supply chain services. Prior to the deal, Avnet owned a portfolio of seven subsidiaries, and it has been on an acquisition kick over the past year or so. Last year, it bought Premier Farnell, a U.K.-based global distributor of technology products for electronic system design, maintenance, and repair; and San Francisco-based Hackster.io, an online community that helps people learn how to design, make, and program Internet-connected devices.
The Dragon Innovation purchase is aimed at bolstering Avnet's ability to help customers simplify the manufacturing process, especially for connected devices, Avnet said in a press release.
Dragon Innovation and Avnet were already partners. In May, they announced—along with Kickstarter—an initiative called Hardware Studio, which offers product developers access to expertise and resources to design, build, and commercialize their ideas.
"We are thrilled to be joining Avnet, an established market leader who shares our values and has significant resources and reach to enable us to help companies build hardware better than ever before," said Dragon Innovation CEO Scott Miller in a prepared statement.
Miller co-founded Cambridge, MA-based Dragon Innovation in 2009. He previously was an executive at Roomba vacuum maker iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT), where he got experience commercializing consumer devices and understanding the global manufacturing and supply process. In 2013, Miller became one of the founding partners of Bolt, the hardware investor and manufacturing consultant. He's now a Bolt venture partner.
Over the years, Dragon Innovation has helped some well-known hardware companies with their products, including 3D printing firm MakerBot and smartwatch maker Pebble.
Dragon Innovation raised at least $2.5 million from investors, according to SEC filings. Its backers include Amazon's Alexa Fund, Flybridge Capital Partners, and the Foundry Group.

Gender issues must not be an afterthought in global health research
Photo: Emmanuel Museruka/MMV
Let's address the knowledge gap in malaria in pregnancy and people of reproductive potential.
For the second time, the World Health Assembly took place in the midst of an ongoing pandemic that is widening health inequities across and within regions. More than a year after the first wave of the pandemic, health systems in many parts of the world continue to battle waves of infection amid shortages of oxygen, vaccines, and health care workers. Yet among the numerous challenges posed by the pandemic, there were positive signals that with coordinated and focused action, health innovation in record pace is possible, particularly if that action can be built on a firm foundation of existing research and development (R&D). Our next challenge—as we continue the battle against COVID-19 and other health threats—is to channel similar coordinated, focused action to ensure the benefits of innovation are distributed equally across both geography and gender.

Sizeable East Vic park opportunity hits the market
Marley Spoon secures new hub in Melbourne's west
Well-known Vic Park hotel listed for sale
Perth | 1 November 2017
One of Perth's most well-known pubs, the Victoria Park Hotel in Perth's inner south-east, has been listed for sale.
Located on an expansive 5,330sqm site fronting Albany Highway, the popular two-storey venue first opened its doors for trading in 1927 and was substantially refurbished in 2000.
The Victoria Park Hotel includes a sports bar and bistro, restaurant dining, alfresco areas, upper level accommodation, function and conference facilities, and a drive-thru bottleshop currently not in use. The venue, which offers 31.46 metres' frontage to Albany Highway, generates an annual income of approximately $3.85 million.
CBRE Hotels' Chloe Mason and Ryan McGinnity have been appointed to market the Victoria Park Hotel leasehold, which is being offered with a potential 35-year lease for the right operator to take over the already established and well-maintained premises.
Ms Mason said the venue benefitted from a high profile location in the heart of Victoria Park's restaurant and bar strip.
"Located three kilometres south-east of the CBD, just over the Causeway, the Victoria Park Hotel is centrally positioned in one of Perth's most popular dining precincts and well serviced by public transport that frequent the Albany Highway strip," Ms Mason said.
Mr McGinnity said the venue had a consistent trading history with regular patronage that would help position it for continued success in the future.
"The Town of Victoria Park is expected to double its population over the next 30 years, which will only add to the profitability of local businesses such as the Victoria Park Hotel," Mr McGinnity said.
"The venue's location on the outskirts of the Perth CBD, proximity to the new Perth Stadium, fantastic management, long lease term and iconic status, all weigh in favour of the business."
The Victoria Park Hotel is being offered for sale via Offers to Purchase, closing December 6.

Kevin Spacey Comes Out As Gay Amid Sexual Harassment Allegation

Soap Opera Characters Who Will Come Back To Life In 2021
Actor Kevin Spacey has come out of gay after years of being notoriously private about his personal life despite endless rumors about his sexuality.
Now, he has spoken out following an allegation from actor Anthony Rapp that Spacey made an unwanted sexual advance towards him when he was only 14 and Spacey was 26. Spacey took to his Twitter account late Sunday night to post a statement that read: "I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I'm beyond horrified to hear his story. I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago. But if I did behave as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I a sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years."
He continued, "I know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fueled by the fact that I have been so protective of my privacy. As those closes to me know, in my life, I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic relationships with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior."
The 58-year-old's statement came only hours after Anthony Rapp, 46, told Buzzfeed News about the alleged incident between himself and Spacey years ago. Rapp said in the interview that he was invited to Spacey's Manhattan apartment for a party in 1986 while they were both starring in a Broadway play, but because he was the only teen at the party he became bored and ended up watching TV by himself in a bedroom for most of the night. Eventually the party ended, but he was unaware and didn't realize that he was the only left when Spacey appeared in the bedroom doorway apparently drunk.
"My memory was that I thought, 'Oh, everybody's gone. Well, yeah, I should probably go home,' " Rapp, who is openly gay, told Buzzfeed. Spacey, he recalled, "sort of stood in the doorway, kind of swaying. My impression when he came in the room was that he was drunk … He picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don't, like, squirm away initially, because I'm like, 'What's going on?' And then he lays down on top of me."
Rapp continued, "He was trying to seduce me. I don't know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually. I was like, 'What is happening?' I saw on the counter next to the sink a picture of him having his arm around a man. So I think on some level I was like, 'Oh. He's gay. I guess.' Then I opened the door, and I was like, 'OK, I'm going to go home now.' He followed me to the front door of the apartment, and as I opened the door to leave, he was leaning on the front door[frame]. And he was like, 'Are you sure you wanna go?' I said, 'Yes, good night,' and then I did leave."
While Rapp previously shared his story back in 2001, he then did not name the actor, but explained he deiced to be completely honest now amid all of their other stories of sexual harassment and assault that are being told in Hollywood following the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

So Bye Bye Bing... Now in WP9 and W9... Magnifying glass symbol will be replaced by?
That's not the question. Bing isn't going anywhere, but I think he's right about the magnifying glass button in WP. As it is, it makes less sense than it should because it launches Cortana. The issues with getting Cortana into all markets might delay this change, but I think it's coming. Not that it means much.

Q: How to Install Sphinx on LINUX(ubuntu) This is Raja, I'm using PHP for my web development. Recently i was supposed to install "Sphinx" search into my application with LINUX as OS.
I've followed the instruction given in this website
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-sphinx-on-ubuntu-10.10
to install sphinx in LINUX(Ubuntu) OS and I've tested the application in the terminal, i got the results like this
root@dev2:/# search "test"
Sphinx 0.9.9-release (r2117)
Copyright (c) 2001-2009, Andrew Aksyonoff

using config file '/etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf'...
index 'test1': query 'test ': returned 3 matches of 3 total in 0.000 sec

        title=doc number four
        content=this is to test groups

words:
1. 'test': 3 documents, 5 hits

The Problem is that, I've created the directory in the location "/var/www/sphinx_search", which contains sphinx.conf, sphinxapi.php and test.php files.
the code behind sphinx.conf is
source src1
{
    type = mysql
    sql_host = localhost
    sql_user = user
    sql_pass = pwd
    sql_db = test
    sql_port = 3306 # optional, default is 3306
    sql_query = \
    SELECT id, group_id, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date_added) AS date_added, title, content \
    FROM documents
    sql_attr_uint = group_id
    sql_attr_timestamp = date_added
    sql_query_info = SELECT * FROM documents WHERE id=$id
}

index test1
{
    source = src1
    path = /var/lib/sphinxsearch/data/test1
    docinfo = extern
    charset_type = sbcs
}

indexer
{
    mem_limit = 32M
}

searchd
{
    port = 9312
    log = /var/log/sphinxsearch/searchd.log
    query_log = /var/log/sphinxsearch/query.log
    read_timeout = 5
    max_children = 30
    pid_file = /var/run/searchd.pid
    max_matches = 1000
    seamless_rotate = 1
    preopen_indexes = 0
    unlink_old = 1
}

and the code behind test.php is
require_once('sphinxapi.php');
//require_once('api/sphinxapi.php');
$s = new SphinxClient;
$s->setServer("123.123.123.123", 9312); // NOT "localhost" under Windows 7!
$s->setMatchMode(SPH_MATCH_EXTENDED2);

$result = $s->Query("group");

echo '<pre>';print_r($result);

when i'm trying to run this application in browser (http://localhost/Raja/search_engine/sphinx/) this error is getting displayed.
{"status":"failed","status_message":"connection to localhost:9312 failed (errno=10060, msg=A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)"}

As i'm new to Sphinx, i cant get it right away. Can anybody help me to proceed further.
Curiously looking for a solution earlier,
Thanks in Advance,
Raja.

A: In your example with search you using search utility which don't require searchd daemon to be running. That's why search is executed successfully.
To use sphinx API you need to start searchd daemon, like:
/path/to/searchd --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf

If you installed sphinx using apt-get then try:
searchd --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf

After that you could try application in browser.
But, I don't understand this
$s->setServer("123.123.123.123", 9312); // NOT "localhost" under Windows 7!

You said you running sphinx under ubuntu, not windows 7. So, sphinx server IP should be IP of ubuntu host, not localhost.
BTW, ubuntu ship old version of Sphinx, I would recommend to download latest from sphinxsearch.com. Latest version is 2.0.3

A: change your setServer() to this one
$s->SetServer('localhost', 'mysql_user_name', 'mysql_password', 3312);

and set the port as 3312 in your sphinx.conf
port = 3312

I thing this might work for you. If not tell me what happened.

Sai Australia Snapshots
2018 Snapshots
Snapshots 2019
Aradhana Mahotsavam Online
The National Aradhana Mahotsavam celebrations were held online this year from 8:00 pm to 9:45 pm AEST on 24 April 2020. Members were provided a link to the Sai Australia YouTube channel through which everyone was able to view the online proceedings to mark the auspicious occasion in the Sai Calendar.
Approximately 370 members from all across Australia logged in to view what was a diverse and engaging program. The program commenced with 3 Aum's and Sai Gayatri Chanting, followed by an address by the National President Mr. Indrapalan. Mr. Indrapalan spoke about the significance of the Aradhana Mahotsavam celebrations and noted the tireless efforts of the Devotional Wing and the IT team in organising the online program. He further noted the fantastic opportunity of listening to the two guest speakers in the evening's program.
Following Mr Indrapalan's address, there was a melodious musical offering from the Tasmanian Region with a song simply titled "Sathya Sai Baba", which expressed presence of Sathya Sai Baba in our heart of hearts.
The next item on the program was talk by Mr. Srikanth Vaidyanathan an 'alumni of the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning' and the current National Devotion Coordinator of USA. Mr. Vaidyanathan. Mr. Vaidyanathan spoke about the various roles Swami played in the lives of the students in Prasanthi Nilayam depending on what was required to the students. Swami would play the role of a father, a friend or a teacher depending on the requirement of the students. He elaborated that Swami's Mahasamadhi was way of Swami making His devotees is to focus on His cosmic form and break free from the shackles of the physical form.
Mr Vaidyanathan also observed the pursuit for perfection Swami possessed in all activities that he undertook. From the diet and meals of His students, the payments to be made for the water project or the neatness of his physical appearance when providing darshan Swami demonstrated the utmost attention to detail in all parts of His lives. To illustrate this point Mr Vaidyanathan narrated an incident where a sculptor had completed a statue of Goddess Saraswathi at the institute and had gone to report to Swami that he had completed his work. Having viewed the statue from a considerable distance Swami remarked to the sculptor that the nose of Saraswathi did not quite seem centred and asked the sculptor to check whether this was the case. The sculptor was stunned to see what Swami had said was indeed true and that the nose of Goddess Saraswathi was not quite centred.
Mr Vaidyanathan also remarked on the degree of detachment that he observed in Swami once the work that he was working on was complete. He noted that once a project was finished Swami would not dwell on either the positive or negative outcomes of the project and would swiftly move to the next project that needed to be done. This provided an important lesson for everyone to not dwell on what has been accomplished and to leave aside any attachment to the results of the work one undertakes.
Mr Vaidyanathan spoke about the personal guidance Swami had given him when he was playing a key role in a drama that Swami Himself had written the script for. Along with directions on appropriate acting and facial expressions Swami would impart some highly valuable life lessons to the students which in hindsight was the true takeaway message for the students. Mr Vaidyanathan closed his talk by reading a letter that was written by Swami many years ago where Swami says that "It is not through their words or their songs that persons are judged as Sai Devotees. Deeds must be good and correct. That makes a Sai Devotee. That gives joy to Sai".
The next item in the program was a vibrant 15 minutes of devotional singing where members were able to focus their minds and hearts towards the contemplation of the lord through music.
The devotional signing was followed by a talk by the second guest speaker for the evening Mrs. Padma Ayyagari from Albury in Victoria. Mrs. Ayyagari talked about the her introduction to Sathya Sai Baba as a Bal Vikas student, the physical appearance of the form of Sathya Sai Baba in front of her in Albury in 1983 to deliver to her a deep spiritual message which she was not able to grasp at the time, her involvement in the Sai Centre in Albury through identifying an ad in the local newspaper and the many subsequent dreams of Sai Baba where He gave personal guidance on the pertinent matters in her life. She spoke about her involvement with the Institute for Sathya Sai Education in Canberra which culminated in her receiving her diploma directly from the hands of Swami in Prasanthi Nilayam, an event which she recollected as the happiest day of her life. Mrs. Ayyagari went on to conclude the talk noting the spiritual development she underwent through undertaking the roles of National Education Coordinator and President for Albury Centre, and her continuous discovery of the profoundness of Swami's teachings to explain to us our own divine nature.
Another beautiful musical offering from the Tasmanian Region followed where they beautifully rendered the song "O Lord May We Live in Peace" and "Swami Lives within my Heart".
The SSE Children from the ACT Region delivered a program reflecting on how they are able to apply the teachings of Swami to deal with the challenges posed by the lockdown's as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic holding onto Swami's message of 'Why Fear When I am Here'. The SSE students explored the topics of how to use values in times of crisis, leadership in times of crisis, lessons learnt, virtual life and values and how to deal with isolation. The SSE students noted the importance of gratitude in these times of crisis, and observed that we are fortunate in Australia to have access to technology that enables us to work from home and stay connected to our friends and family virtually. The SSE children further noted that with the current lockdown resulting in many cities around the world having the cleanest air in many years it brought to the forefront the negative impact that humans have been having on the environment. The SSE students concluded their program remarking that the lockdown provides everyone with an opportunity for self-exploration and provides humanity with an opportunity to shape a better future.
This was followed by another 15 minutes session of energising devotional singing. This was followed by a discourse of Swami where Swami talked about the law of Karma and that even if people act according to their will it wasn't possible for people to escape the consequences of their actions without the grace of the lord. Swami stated that in order to escape the results of one's actions one must pray to the lord so that they are deserving of God's grace.
The program wrapped up with Aarathi at approximately 9:50 pm.

London Calling (and how I responded – at last)….
Another International Series in the books, and another UK fan converted, as Ryan Peacock admits he was wrong about NFL games on this side of 'the pond'…
Well that's it… The 2017 London games are complete and, while the quality on the field didn't always live up to what could have been, they were, without doubt, a success.
This year saw London host its 10th year of international games. These were my first. Why? I am a huge NFL fan and have followed the Packers for nearly 20 years but had never been excited by the idea of games in London. I was wrong.
London sold out four games, two at Wembley and two at Twickenham. Both produced a wonderful NFL experience and gameday product. Personally, I thought Twickenham had the edge. One of my personal 'grudges' of what I perceived the London games to be is that the pre- and post-game events couldn't live up to what we would see back in the US of A. Twickenham nailed it with the atmosphere before kick-off feeling very much like a US tailgate but, at both venues, the smell of BBQ, the sound of music, the sight of cheerleaders and a great number of footballs whistling over head as we drunk cold beer from a plastic cup gave that feeling we were the other side of the pond.
The NFL, having seen the success of the previous nine years in London, went with four games in 2017; one would presume to test the fan base over more and more games as they continue to discuss the feasibility of a London franchise. The fans in the UK and wider Europe did not disappoint as they sold out all four and represented every team in the league. The atmosphere in the two stadiums showed the passion and love for the gridiron here, and it certainly suggests that the NFL could put even more games in London.
Now back to why I doubted it. I felt that a London game would not be able to live up to everything offered in the United States but I was wrong, its different for sure but it lived up to an exciting day from start to finish. The product on the field at times lacked a little competition, but that can happen whether the game is in London, Foxboro or Dallas. As they say, anything can happen on any given Sunday. These games are great for the growth here in the UK and quantified by the growing number of British players playing in the NFL. The London games are here to stay and the fans will continue to flock to them, regardless of result or who is playing.
I would still implore you to travel to America for a game as that is a once-in-a-lifetime type trip – these days, you can do that simply with companies such as Touchdown Trips, or even by joining one of Gridiron magazine's ventures such as this year's Deep South Tour – but the NFL is really bringing its A-game to London with the International Series and, thanks to all the fans, it continues to be a roaring success.
Consider this stubborn old fan converted! Go London Go!

And the Longside closed
Last updated : 28 October 2005 By Tony Scholes
David Eyres - two goals in the 3-1 win in 1994
They were the visitors that day, in what was the last game ever played in front of the old terracing that had housed Burnley's main vocal support for well over a quarter of a century, and fittingly it ended with a Burnley victory.
<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Hull were close to the relegation places, they were ultimately relegated, whilst the Clarets weren't too much higher in the league and were to have a fight to stay up as the season unfolded. On that September day in 1995 we were clear favourites to win the game and did, although not as comfortably as we would have liked.
The Hull fans were housed in the Cricket Field Stand for the day as the Longside was handed over in its entirety to the Burnley fans and they witnessed a game that was hardly fitting for the occasion.
We won it 2-1, with Kurt Nogan the last Burnley player to score in front of the Longside. The other two goals were both scored by Hull. Paul Fewings got their goal whilst Neil Allison put through his own goal.
It concluded a run of three wins from our three meetings during the 1990s. We had played them in the first two seasons following promotion out of Division Four and picked up wins both times.
Both games were played in March and both ended in two goal wins, 2-0 in 1993 and 3-1 in 1994. Adrian Heath scored the first goal in the 1993 win with Steve Slawson, on loan from Notts County getting the second. A year later John Pender gave us the lead with David Eyres grabbing the other two, one of them from the penalty spot. That was a much needed win, coming a week after the 4-1 debacle at Hartlepool when both Pender and Heath were sent off.
We have to go back to 1980 for another win against them, this was also 2-0 and was the game when Phil Cavener famously kicked the flag instead of the ball when trying to take a corner. Kevin Young and Steve Taylor were the scorers that night.
Hull's last win at Burnley was a controversial victory in 1984, and although the record books will say they beat us 2-0 they were certainly not celebrating at the end.
The game was played after the end of the season having been postponed previously because the Hull team failed to turn up, they were fined peanuts by the league for this. By the time they arrived at Burnley the rest of the fixtures had been completed and they knew a three goal victory would see them promoted, anything else and Sheffield United would go up with Oxford and Wimbledon.
They won 2-0 and finished level on points with Sheffield United, whose fans were on the Bee Hole End. Both clubs had a goal difference of 33 but it was the Blades who went up having scored more goals. By the time the Hull team came out of the dressing room their manager Colin Appleton had resigned and would be replaced by current Macclesfield boss Brian Horton.
I'm not expecting Peter Taylor to tender his resignation tonight, no matter what the score, but hopefully he'll be leaving with a defeat.

Popular belief states there is one heaven. That one religion is right and the rest are tall-tales, or just legends from crazy priests in civilizations that were burned and forgotten long ago. However, that in and of itself is not only narrow minded, but that is contrary to the actual situation. Most religions have at least some truth to them. For example, parallel to Allah and Jehovah there is Osiris. On the other hand, on the thrones there are Zeus, Jesus, Odin, and Ra… Many religions and gods rule over the heavens. It creates a sort of divine harmony, a collaboration of all beliefs.
What one could expect in death is any man's guess. Depending on their beliefs, they could visit any one of the gods. Some just get sent back, reincarnated; some are denied and sent to the Hells. Whatever the situation, every soul will eventually see heaven, until he or she wishes to return to the mortal plane, and do it all over again.
Well, that's what some believe, anyway.
Personally, Dallas couldn't care less what happens when people die.
You know who really ran the show? It wasn't the Gods, Dallas could tell you that. It's the Keepers of Religion, a band of Monks, who were entrusted with keeping all religion in balance. In many ways, they were like me, but so very different. The Keepers of Religion never spoke, and not by choice either, they had their tongues and vocal cords cut out before they earn the 'right to knowledge'. Which is their schooling about the religions, their speech incapacitated so they cannot tell anyone of what they know. They don't keep it 'balanced' per se, they keep it more in order. They make sure there were no civil wars in heaven.
The Gods could overpower them easily, but out of respect, and by a pact they swore to forever ago, they obey the Keepers of Religion. Or at the very least respect their opinions.
The man that lurked behind Radament in a light brown robe was one of them.
He had dimly glowing, hollow eyes, and pointed teeth.
And he was glaring Balance.
Lord Jesus Christ: an understanding god to say the least. He knew Dallas' intentions with what he requested were good, even if some members in his party were of a... malicious nature. It was because of His understanding that He allowed them a word with Him. Not that He had much of a choice; Balance had the power of the Toga of the Gods. If he wanted, he could have forced his way in, and taken Doom back by force. However, Dallas thought that an unnecessary and violent use of his powers. Not to mention hateful, which, at the moment, would go against his purpose.
Him and Balance talked, he told Him of the situation they were in. Dallas told him about himself, Legion, and how Dallas needed to speak with Doom. The God nodded and took it all in, most of which wasn't news to him. He was a God, after all. It didn't bode well for the Gods or for the mortal plane for Him to refuse their request, and eventually, after a moment of scratching his beard, he took Dallas and the others to the man they were looking for.
He also told Dallas he didn't go by 'Doom' anymore.
They had the God's permission; and had the means to do so. However, bringing back the dead wasn't as easy as one would think. Not complete resurrection. One can bring back a body, but the body is mindless, and more importantly, soulless. People who are revived like that are usually referred to as 'Zombies' or 'Ghouls'. But in order to fully resurrect someone, you need to locate their soul, and place it in a body. they had the soul, but Doom's –Victor's- body was destroyed. Almost immediately after the Balance vanquished him, Victor's body rotted away; years of slow decomposition finally caught up to it.
Which is why Dallas brought along Michael.
Dallas explained the situation to the both of them. Eyes both gazed upon him with interest as he explained to them how reincarnation worked. Dallas explained how this situation was unique and the reasons behind it. He could tell they were beginning to understand, but before he could continue, Dallas felt a surge of thought rush over him.
Somewhere in the mortal realm, two immensely powerful forces were clashing. At first it felt like two Holders fighting, but then Dallas realized it was much worse than that. Legion was fighting one of the unknown Evils. He brandished the White King's Sword, and the other wielded a vastly superior, yet similar Object. Whatever it was, the two Objects seemed to hate each other almost as their wielders. It then occurred to Balance that Legion and the other man – whose name was almost upon him - were doing battle for the second time.
But this time, Legion was losing.
The joining was spectacular to watch. Light rose up from Victor's soul and streamed into Michael's nose and mouth, Michael breathed it in. His chest expanding, and then depleting. Dallas could see Michael's form begin to change, into that of a combination of he and Victor's physical features. Michael's face, but rounded more, like Victor's. Victor's muscular body was imposed into Michael's already semi-built body. His skin went from white to darker, like Victor's.
When the transformation was finished, both Victor and Michael were recognisable within the man that stood before him. However there was one thing still left to do.
"You are no longer Michael nor Victor. What do you want me to call you?" Balance asked him.
"Yes," he shot Yochanan a glance, a glance of hate, Dallas thought it might have even made Yochanan uncomfortable, unlikely, but a possiblillity.

Top economist says demand drivers absent as US farmers struggle
12/11/19 6:35 AM By Steve Davies
KEYWORDS ag exports agresource American Seed Trade Association china corn dan basse market facilitation program soybeans
There's no immediate relief in sight for American farmers, as corn stocks remain large and increased demand for U.S. crops remains elusive, ag economist Dan Basse of AgResource told attendees of the American Seed Trade Association conference in Chicago Tuesday.
Basse said one of the biggest factors is the rise of the "ABU" countries — Argentina, Brazil and Ukraine — which he projected are on track to account for a record 57% of global corn exports in the 2019-2020 marketing year. A recent Economic Research Service report said the U.S. "has recently seen its share fall below 40 percent and is expected to continue losing its competitive edge to lower cost producers."
"They're combining technology with bigger crops," Basse said of the ABU countries in an interview following his speech, adding that weak currencies in Argentina and Brazil are contributing to the woes for U.S. farmers.
Basse said he expected the ABU countries' market share of corn will increase, calling Brazilian farmers' planting of a winter corn crop after soybeans the biggest technological advance in agriculture in the last 10 years.
Without any large source of demand in sight, the U.S. farmer eventually "will have to get more aggressive on cost reductions if he wants to compete in the world landscape," Basse said.
One value opportunity could be a carbon market where farmers would sell credits, but that is developing slowly, he said.
"How do you measure sustainability on a per-meter or per-acre basis?" he asked. The private sector needs to come up with an accepted method for measuring specific practices and reward farmers for employing those practices, instead of having the government set the standards, he said.
Without receiving a premium for adopting measures to improve soil health, for example, producers will be unwilling to change the way they farm, Basse said. "Right now everybody wants you to be sustainable, but they don't want to pay the farmer."

Questions surround trade, disaster relief as farmers struggle to plant
USDA pressed to ease cover crop rules as farmers struggle to plant
Profitability in the past two years has hinged on payments under the Market Facilitation Program to compensate farmers for the trade war with China. "U.S. farmers today are farming for the government," Basse said.
He does not believe the World Trade Organization will step in now, but said he has heard "pushback from people in other countries who say [MFP] is market-distorting."
Supply management in the U.S. — a solution proposed by some Democratic presidential candidates — could potentially boost crop prices, but "if you do something to cut grain stocks, it only lifts up farmers in other parts of the world," Basse said.
According to USDA's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, global corn stocks, at 300.6 million tons, are up 4.6 million tons from last month.
Yet U.S. farmers remain optimistic President Donald Trump will work out a trade deal with China that could lead to $40 billion per year in ag purchases from the U.S., Basse noted, citing Purdue/CME's Ag Economy Barometer. Some 57% of farmers surveyed recently said it was likely the soybean trade dispute with China would be resolved soon
Other observations from Basse:
The corn oversupply could get worse next year with normal weather.
In the next five years, China is likely to overtake the U.S. as the world's largest economy, and 10 years out, India could slip into the No. 2 spot. "Never in your lifetimes has the U.S. not been the biggest economy in the world," Basse told the crowd at ASTA.
On the world grain/soy trade, Basse said in one of his slides, "Any bullish hope rests with supply-driven shortfalls produced by adverse weather or a dramatic (15% to 20%) drop in the value of the U.S. dollar."
Farmland values have started to stagnate after a steady rise going back to 1989.

Frank Elliott
"Drag racing gets in your blood." – Frank Elliott
Frank Elliott has been participating in car shows and drag racing since 1960 and has gone through 20 cars since he started. He began as a self-taught mechanic, running his own shop for 13 years. At only 14 years of age, Frank's father gave him a 1945 Chevrolet 4 door sedan, fuelling his passion for drag racing. When he turned 16, Frank bought a 1956 Ford Convertible, racing several times at what was then called the Kohler Dragway.
Frank Elliott sold the 56' and purchased a 1957 Meteor, running the car 14 times and winning 14 trophies. He then bought a 1963 Chev with a 409-cu. in. 400 HP engine. When his car caught fire and was ultimately destroyed, it took Frank a year to rebuild it. His efforts went to good use; he entered the 63' Chev in a car show and took home first place.
Soon, Frank bought his first real race car: a 1966 Chev 427 h.p Biscayne called The Untouchable, running in H/FX and SS/D, sponsored by Ross Wemp Chev Olds. Frank was best known for his 1965 Plymouth, originally owned by Ed Miller, which he campaigned for 4 years. He set a record at Super Boss with 7 consecutive wins in a row. In 1971, Frank Elliott sold the car and purchased a 1968 Cuda, which he changed up, added a few parts, and went racing. Frank placed 2nd in the car show, and in 1973, placed first at Dragway Park.
Frank Elliott is the owner and president of Drag Supply in Mississauga, Ontario. Frank is best known for his 65' Chrysler Hemi, originally owned by Arlen Vanke and Ed Miller, but his last car, an original 68' Hemi Cuda, was the most pristine ever built. Frank Elliott is recognised as one of the best fabricators of all time.

Let's Face It… 2020 Sucked!
ByMike Strong
In a year that has been the most politically divisive yet, it seems there was one thing that most people could agree on – that 2020 sucked big time!
Let's face it, 2020 was a year like none other. Murder hornets, a contentious election cycle, wildfires, the Pentagon admitting that UFOs are real, and let's not forget the minor inconvenience of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC!
The Daily Standard asked their readers how they would like to say goodbye to 2020. The results people wrote in ranged from the profound to the hilarious, but they all had a running theme — all were glad to see 2020 in their review mirrors and are looking forward to better times ahead. Here is a selection of the Standard's reader's best responses to the question, "what would your last words be if you could talk to 2020 and what would they say to greet 2021?"
"2020 – you truly stank," writes Martha Curry Scheer of St. Marys. "But despite your best efforts, I will remember that we made it through with a roof over our heads, with our whole family alive and with our jobs intact. We never went hungry, always had toilet paper, and learned how to be content. Now, don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
"2020, you woke us up," said Joelle Allen of St. Paris. "You showed the world that we weren't untouchable. Proved that the Earth is slowly dying. And for us to believe, trust and to have faith. 2021, we welcome you with hope. We ask for calm and kindness. We pray for guidance and peace. We ask for joyful laughter, but most of all, we want to be with our family without fear. We ask for life."
But, some found a silver lining in all the misery. Amy Johnson Nelson wrote that 2020 had taught her to appreciate the little things in life. "Being able to see family and friends and giving them hugs. I miss them. I miss hugs. I miss my parents seeing my kids," she wrote. "I hope 2021 brings health and happiness to all. Cheers to a New Year!"
Other responses were short and sweet.
"Ain't you gone yet?" Carl Ward of Celina said to 2020. "'Bout time you got here," he said to 2021.
"2020 can take a leap off a tall cliff," said Vicki Wackler of Covington. "Hoping 2021 is better than ever."
But perhaps Jeanne Braun summed up the feelings of most Americans best, saying,
"2020 is a year we will never forget and one we don't want to remember!" "2021, a year of hope for peace and a more 'United' Unites States of America!"

China sanctions U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, other officials in retaliation for U.S. sanctions
China announced Monday it is issuing sanctions against U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and four other U.S. officials for "interfering in China's internal affairs," a move that drew a dismissive reply from Cruz.
The announcement came days after the United States issued sanctions against three Chinese officials for Beijing's human rights abuses against ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region. Details on the sanctions against Cruz have not been disclosed.
Cruz, who is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a Monday statement that he does not plan on traveling to the "authoritarian regime that covered up the coronavirus pandemic and endangered millions of lives worldwide."
"The Chinese Communist Party is terrified and lashing out," Cruz's statement reads. "They forced over one million Uighurs into concentration camps and engaged in ethnic cleansing, including horrific forced abortions and sterilizations. These are egregious human rights atrocities that cannot be tolerated."
The U.S. officials being targeted are Sam Brownback, the Trump administration's ambassador for international religious freedom, and three members of the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China, including Cruz, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, and U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey.
On Thursday, the Trump administration banned three Chinese Communist Party senior officials and their family members from entering the U.S. The Chinese officials being sanctioned allegedly targeted Uighur Muslims, a population indigenous to Xinjiang, and other ethnic and religious minorities in the region, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
"Xinjiang affairs are China's internal affairs, and the U.S. has no right to interfere in them," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing, according to the Washington Post. "We urge the United States to immediately withdraw its wrong decision."
Cruz applauded the Trump administration's actions Friday in a tweet saying it was a much needed move.
"We must continue to hold Chinese government officials accountable for their egregious human rights atrocities against the Uighurs & other minorities," Cruz tweeted.


Stress Wave Non-Destructive Testing is a method for testing the integrity of materials, and is most commonly applied to timber structures. A stress wave is induced in a section of timber by attaching a device that can generate an impulsive force on the timber. The speed of the induced stress wave is measured at the point of impact and finally measured again at some distance from the initial point of impact. The difference between initial and final speed can be used as an indicator for the density of the timber section and possible presence of decay.

Do you recall the last time you felt actually anxious? Maybe the time your automobile hydroplaned on a slick street. Or maybe while you spent a sleepless evening before a ultimate examination or a significant gross sales presentation. These situations usually produce quick-term nervousness which disappears after the event. However, for about 6.8 Diagnostic Health million Americans with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), anxiety is an on-going nightmare that can severely limit their every day activities. Whether you've got GAD or just the occasional fear, the nervousness lowering ideas on this article could also be helpful.
Empirically based therapy protocols distill the outcomes of rigorously designed and replicable scientific studies into a step-by-step, session-by-session remedy plan. Effective protocols save time, enhance the probability of acquiring good outcomes, make it simpler to train and supervise new therapists, and fulfill the wants of third events to know that the proposed remedy follows the perfect accessible practices.
Some of the ladies inhaled lavender oil 30 minutes before the process while the remainder did not. Afterward, all of the women were assessed on their ache and anxiety ranges, and the women who inhaled the lavender reported much less anxiousness and pain throughout the procedure than those who didn't. Community supports: Community supports can embody peer help groups for youngsters, support groups for households, and other helpful resources.
Anxiety symptoms are associated with several health issues, which can make prognosis tough. Conditions that can cause—or mimic—anxiousness embody continual obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery illness, and hyperthyroidism. It's doable for a person to have both a medical condition and anxiousness, so when the medical condition is diagnosed, the nervousness might stay missed and untreated," Wetherell says.
Our more severely agoraphobic people in all probability do must strive these medications, beneath proper psychiatric care. Talk together with your anxiousness therapist about this primary, and get a recommendation to a psychiatrist who understands the nervousness problems and this explicit remedy basically. You won't normally be capable of get hold of one of many MAOIs from your general practitioner, as they are often unaware of the optimistic effects this medication can play in serving to people with agoraphobia and other anxiety problems. For more data on present MAOI usage, see the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 74.2, February 2013.
Relapse prevention — A remaining step in CBT is relapse prevention, through which patients are knowledgeable that recurrences of worry, anxiety or avoidance conduct are likely to happen in the future. They are inspired to view such recurrences as lapses slightly Health Behavior than failure, and to reapply their coping expertise and reinstitute their apply of publicity to pictures of adverse outcomes and nervousness-scary situations.
The rosmarinic acid and polyphenolics elements give this tea its antibiotic and antiviral elements. However, at present, there are no revealed human studies done that help the assumption that it's effective in opposition to fighting micro organism or fungal infections. It is essential to notice that there are laboratory research that do show that lemon balm has been efficient in opposition to both. Relaxing visualization may also assist. A therapist or meditation coach suggests stress-free images for a person to hold in thoughts. Once the picture is in place, the individual imagines soothing sensations resembling pleasant scents and sounds. Eventually people can study to do that themselves after they anticipate – or find themselves in – disturbing situations.

Q: How do I pass arguments to my pl/python custom function I am trying to create my first ever custom function that uses arguments in pl/python. I have created triggers before using pl/python language but these kind of functions don't have arguments.
The code of the function I have created is below:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_pl_pyton_func(table_name TEXT, field_name TEXT) RETURNS TEXT AS
    $BODY$
    plan = plpy.prepare("SELECT DISTINCT $1 FROM $2", ['TEXT', 'TEXT'])
    result = plpy.execute(plan, [field_name, table_name])
    while i < result.nrows():
        print(result[i][field_name])
        i = i+1
    $BODY$
    LANGUAGE plpython3u;

Now if I run:
SELECT test_pl_pyton_func(table_name, field_name);

I get the following error:
spiexceptions.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "$2"
    LINE 1: SELECT DISTINCT $1 FROM $2
                                    ^
        QUERY:  SELECT DISTINCT $1 FROM $2
        CONTEXT:  Traceback (most recent call last):

            plan = plpy.prepare("SELECT DISTINCT $1 FROM $2", ['TEXT', 'TEXT'])
        PL/Python function "test_pl_pyton_func"

What am I getting wrong?

Le río Sarapiqui  est une rivière du Costa Rica et un affluent de la rivière San Juan.

Étymologie
Autrefois, le Sarapiqui était appelé Siripiquí ().
Son origine indigène vient peut-être de la branche linguistique du chibchoide dans laquelle le mot « si » est lié à l'eau.

Histoire
Au cours de l'époque coloniale et après l'indépendance, le rio Sarapiqui a été largement utilisé par les résidents de la vallée centrale, en l'absence d'un port dans les Caraïbes, comme un moyen d'accès à la mer des Caraïbes. Il a également été utilisé par des pirates anglais pour pénétrer à l'intérieur du pays et y faire des pillages.

La navigation sur la rivière eu également  une grande importance au cours de la Campagne nationale du Costa Rica, et un poids stratégique pour les deux parties, car elle fut le théatre de la bataille de Sardinal  le . Par cette bataille la rivière Sarapiqui prend le titre de monument national.

Géographie
Le rio Sarapiqui a une longueur de  et prend sa source dans les contreforts nord de la cordillère centrale, dans la lagune Botos du volcan Poas à  d'altitude. Ses principaux affluents sont le Rio Sucio et Toro River, abondante et d'une longueur d'environ  .
La partie supérieure du bassin est protégé par les parcs nationaux  Poas Volcano et Braulio Carrillo.
Les zones le long de la rivière sont essentiellement constituées par la forêt tropicale, caractérisée par une végétation luxuriante et une variété importante d'animaux et d'insectes.

Navigabilité
La rivière est connu pour son importance en tant que moyen de transport fluvial depuis l'époque pré-hispanique. Elle commence à être navigable en recevant la rivière Puerto Viejo, dans les  derniers kilomètres de son cours .

L'absence de routes accessibles dans la partie inférieure du bassin, en particulier pendant la saison des pluies renforce l'importance du Sarapiqui pour les divers transports. La rivière passe aux abords des villes de San Miguel, La Virgen et Puerto Viejo.

Écologie
Dans cette région se trouve La Selva, station biologique de , l'une des trois stations de recherche écologiques néotropicaux et de conservation les plus importantes au Costa Rica.

Dans la zone protégée, vivent environ  espèces de mammifères, y compris les jaguars, les tapirs, agoutis, les chauves-souris et  espèces de singes, plus de  espèces d'oiseaux,  espèces de papillons et environ  différents types de plantes, et plus de   espèces de fourmis.

Le long du lit de la rivière Sarapiqui ont été établies d'autres réserves fauniques, comme le refuge national de la faune Tapiria et la réserve biologique de Tirimbina.

South Africa police fire on striking miners, killing 34
Thursday Aug 16, 2012 10:38 AM
Siphiwe Sibeko / Reuters
A policeman fires at protesting miners outside a South African mine in Rustenburg, 62 miles northwest of Johannesburg on Aug. 16.
GRAPHIC WARNING: This post contains graphic images which some viewers may find disturbing.
Updated at 3:15 a.m. ET Friday: South African police opened fire on Thursday against thousands of striking miners armed with machetes and sticks at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine, killing 34 people.
The shooting is one of the worst in South Africa since the end of the apartheid era.
A Reuters cameraman said earlier on Thursday he saw at least seven bodies after the shooting, which occurred when police laying out barricades of barbed wire were outflanked by some of an estimated 3,000 miners massed on a rocky outcrop near the mine, 62 miles northwest of Johannesburg.
Reuters reported: Police opened fire with automatic weapons on a group of men who burst out from behind a vehicle. The volley of bullets threw up clouds of dust, which cleared to reveal at least seven bodies lying on the ground, Reuters television footage showed.
The Marikana strikers have not made their demands explicit, although much of the bad blood at the mine stems from AMCU's challenge to the two-decade dominance of the National Union of Mineworkers, which is closely linked to the ruling African National Congress.

These bags are each made by Tiffany in Ocala, Florida, USA.
The idea originated after I got tired of the resuable shopping bags falling apart, and I wanted something more durable for everyday use. These bags are great for groceries, going to the gym, kids, diaper bag, carrying random stuff, etc.
They are made from cotton, polyester, and/or flannel fabrics. Each bag is approximately 15x18 inches and the handles reach 15 inches to the top. Handles are reinforce stitched. Each bag is inner lined between two outer linings with 100% polyester fleece to give the bag a thick, soft feel. Pockets are only available on custom bags, however some of the bags do have pockets (I stopped adding pockets because they seemed unnecessary). Check the photos in their Etsy listing for pockets.
There are no zippers. I do not like zippers!
Custom bags start at $25 plus $3 each for small pockets and $5 each for large pockets. These custom bags come with inner lined pockets just like the bags are inner lined with fleece.
Embroidery is available. Just a name is $5. Something more complicated, contact me. I only have a 4x4 hoop size. I am also offering snap or velcro enclosure for $5 as well.
The style you see is the only style we offer. They are machine washable with line dry.
These bags may or may not be available. There are endless patterns I can use as I buy from local stores and online.
Not everything is listed in the Etsy shop, so contact me for custom orders or patterns you see on my website, facebook or desire.
I can either create a custom Etsy listing or a Paypal invoice for you. These are just here to give you an idea of the variety I offer.
I have customers using these bags for 2-3 years. I started in 2014. Feedback can be found on the Facebook page.

Down Royal Racecourse is a horse racing venue near Lisburn in Northern Ireland. The most valuable race run there is the Ladbrokes Champion Chase, run at the Northern Ireland Festival of racing in November. The most valuable flat race to be run there annually is the Ulster Derby.

Racing has been
taking place on the current course, at Maze near Lisburn, since, the early 18th
Century on land donated by Arthur Hill, 1st Marquess of Downshire, but the
history of Down Royal goes further back to 1685 when King James II issued a
Royal Charter and formed the Down Royal Corporation of Horse Breeders. In 1750
King George II donated £100 to run King's Plate and to the present day a race
named Her Majestys Plate is run in July over 1 mile 5 furlongs with the prize money contributed to by the Privy Purse.

Although actually in the United Kingdom, racing at Down Royal comes under the authority of Horse Racing Ireland as horse-racing in the British Isles is divided on a Great Britain / All-Ireland basis.
