Eurofragance introduces new fragrances in innovative and sustainable applications at In-Cosmetics 2022
During the trade show for personal care ingredients, the company showcased vegan, sustainable and eco-certifiable fragrances, as well as applications in innovative formats such as confetti soap and powder deodorant.
The multinational presented a collection of fine fragrances, along with personal and air care products formulated with its new captive, L'Âme du Bois™, a natural ingredient derived from wood waste.
At in-cosmetics, Eurofragance gave a technical seminar entitled "The process of creating a new ingredient: L'Âme du Bois™" led by Olivier Anthony, Ph.D. Global Research and Innovation Director.
Dubai: Eurofragance, a multinational fragrance house, showcased various collections focused on sustainability and innovation at in-cosmetics, a leading fair for personal care ingredients, held between April 5th and 7th in Paris. The collections align with the company's strategic plan and are intended to answer current consumer desires.
The company presented its Ecoconscious collection with vegan, sustainable and eco-certifiable fragrances, along with its Sensolab collection, which combines innovation and sustainability in applications that seek to inspire and improve consumer experiences. The new Sensolab applications included a bath soap confetti, a compact powder deodorant, a solid conditioner, a powder shampoo and a solid body lotion.
Sensolab, inspiring new solid cosmetics formats
The creative Sensolab collection offers new sensorial experienced with its solid fragrance formats, made possible thanks to technological innovation.
The set of products includes a body lotion stick fragranced with bergamot and cannabis notes that is easy to carry and use as a basic cosmetic; a water-free coffee and white flower scented solid conditioner and a powder shampoo with hints of apricot and carrot, that eliminates the need for water. Other highlights of this collection are a pocket deodorant in a compact powder format with notes of moringa flower, which absorbs body odors and leaves a silky sensation on skin; and a bath confetti soap that brings playfulness to the shower, in a format that diffuses olfactive notes of mandarin.
This eco-friendly collection is characterized by products that use less water or are water-free. These products require less packaging, are lighter and are responsible for lower carbon emissions thanks to improved shipping conditions.
A focus on sustainability
The company also introduced Ecoconscious, a collection of vegan, sustainable fragrances with natural ingredients, formulated with floral-fruity, citrus and woody, fruity-sweet and fruity-aqueous notes, some of them eco-certifiable.
In addition, Eurofragance unveiled various applications created with L'Âme du Bois™, the first captive perfumery ingredient developed by Eurofragance in October 2021, and which was introduced at in-cosmetics this April in the form of fine fragrances, a shampoo and a scented candle.
Innovation and research are a part of Eurofragance's DNA
Eurofragance has more than 30 years of experience in the design of fragrances for fine perfumery, home and personal care products. Olegario Monegal, Global Business Unit Director of Home and Personal Care, explains:"These two categories, 'home' and 'personal care' are booming in Europe. Our presence at in-cosmetics illustrates our particular desire to accelerate our growth in personal care. We have a palette of high-quality raw materials and an excellent level of customer service along with valuable market knowledge that make us ready to respond to new consumer demands."
During the event in Paris, the company gave a seminar entitled "The process of creating a new ingredient: L'Âme du Bois™" led by Olivier Anthony, Ph.D Global Research and Innovation Director at Eurofragance. The talk, which covered the process of developing the company's first captive, was held in person on Wednesday, April 6th at the in-cosmetics venue.
At the fair, the company's forty plus square meter stand featured custom designed furniture, the result of a collaboration between Eurofragance and the innovation laboratory, FabLab, in Sant Cugat (Spain), whose philosophy is also focused on technology and innovation. All the furniture—sustainable and FSC certified—used wood from protected European forests and can be reused at future fairs.

House Rejects Proposal to Ban Mask Mandates With Help of Republicans
Seven Republican lawmakers voted with Democrats to allow both the governor and local governments to be able to require the wearing of masks when responding to a pandemic.
Jeramy Kitchen | May 10, 2021
On Monday afternoon, the Texas House of Representatives considered the Texas Pandemic Response Act, or House Bill 3, by State Rep. Dustin Burrows (R–Lubbock). After hours of discussion and several amendments, the bill passed its initial reading by a vote of 92 in support and 45 in opposition.
Notably, 72 Republicans of the 83-member Republican Caucus voted in favor of the bill.
It will be considered one final time on Tuesday. Upon final passage, the bill will be sent to the Texas Senate.
Mask Mandate Amendment
Several amendments were offered throughout the debate.
One of the most notable was authored by State Rep. Cody Vasut (R–Angleton). This amendment would have precluded both the governor and local governments from mandating the wearing of masks.
Notably, the amendment was originally successfully added to the bill with no debate, and the House moved on to consider additional amendments. A short time later, Burrows acknowledged his desire to reconsider the amendment, as Democrat lawmakers had complained that it was accepted without their knowledge. Vasut went on to further explain his amendment and was eventually questioned by Democrat lawmakers like State Rep. Rafael Anchia (Dallas) about the merits of such a proposal.
The amendment went up for a vote and was initially passed by a vote of 71 in favor and 70 in opposition. A vote verification was called, and at its conclusion, the amendment had seemingly failed by a vote of 71 in favor and 72 in opposition. It turned out that seven Republican lawmakers had voted with Democrats to allow both the governor and local governments to be able to require the wearing of masks when responding to a pandemic.
Those lawmakers include State Reps. Steve Allison (San Antonio), Travis Clardy (Nacogdoches), Drew Darby (San Angelo), Charlie Geren (Ft. Worth), Kyle Kacal (College Station), Lyle Larson (San Antonio), and Four Price (Amarillo).
The bill was filed in late February. Almost immediately, concerned Texans expressed their frustrations with what they argued would only perpetuate disputed authorities of the governor in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 11, a revised committee substitute was first heard in the House State Affairs Committee. It was left pending in that committee until May 4, when an even newer revision of the bill was considered before being voted out of committee unanimously.
What the Bill Does as Amended
In its current form, the bill still perpetuates disputed authorities of the governor by simply not addressing them and instead creates a completely new section of code to address pandemics specifically. The bill now requires the Legislature to be called into session if a pandemic emergency declaration exceeds 120 days. Various amendments were accepted to prevent the closures of places like public beaches or golf courses by any governmental entity.
Additional amendments addressed the Pandemic Legislative Oversight Committee established by one of the earlier revisions to the bill. This committee is now composed of 12 members, including the lieutenant governor; House speaker; and the chairmen of the Senate Finance Committee, Senate State Affairs Committee, Senate Health & Human Services Committee, Senate Education Committee, Senate Jurisprudence Committee, House Appropriation Committee, House State Affairs Committee, House Public Health Committee, House Public Education Committee, and the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee. An amendment was eventually adopted that allowed for other lawmakers who were not members of this committee to submit a letter requesting their participation in the committee deliberations.
Republican State Rep. Mike Schofield (Katy) offered a few amendments regarding businesses shut down during a pandemic. One of his amendments was adopted onto the bill, clarifying that no governmental entity could force a business to close or limit the operating capacity or use of a business under an order related to a pandemic.
Varying Legislative Approaches
The Texas Senate has already passed out several bills seeking to curtail executive overreach. These include bills like Senate Bill 1025 and Senate Joint Resolution 45 by State Sen. Brian Birdwell (R–Granbury). Both passed the Senate in mid-April and have been sitting in the House State Affairs Committee ever since. Both of these bills attempt to curtail the authorities of the governor by clearly stating that only the Legislature has the authority to suspend or make law in declared times of emergency, while also allowing any current legislator standing to sue the governor in the Supreme Court of Texas at a time of disaster if the governor fails to convene the Legislature in a legislative session after a qualifying disaster or emergency declaration.
The Texas Senate also passed Senate Bill 1616 by State Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R–Houston) last week. SB 1616 seeks to curtail overreach by local governments in times of disaster. Since its passage, it has been sitting in the House Public Health Committee.
The Texas House has thus far been reluctant to bring any bill to the House floor that addresses reforming executive authority, let alone hear them in committees, even though several had been filed. Republican State Rep. Matt Schaefer (Tyler) filed a bill that would have precluded both the governor and local governments from being able to require the wearing of a mask. Schaefer also filed a bill that completely gets rid of any penalty for violating an emergency management plan, including the fine of up to $1,000. State Rep. Steve Toth (R–The Woodlands) filed a bill proposing an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would explicitly state that no order or proclamation issued by the governor may violate or suspend constitutional rights. It also would have required the governor to convene the Legislature in a special legislative session to renew or consider the extension of a disaster declaration after 30 days. Another bill by State Rep. Brooks Landgraf (R–Odessa) would similarly require the governor to call a special session of the Legislature after 60 days of a declared disaster under certain circumstances.
The bill will be heard for a final time tomorrow, May 11. Assuming it passes, it will then be sent to the Texas Senate for its consideration.
Given that there are only about 20 days left in the 87th Legislative Session—and the Senate has already passed several bills related to emergency powers reform, as well as bills addressing specific provisions included in HB 3—it remains to be seen whether the Senate will take up the bill at all.

We tend to think of grieving as an emotional experience, and it is — fraught with intense sadness, profound loss, and psychological pain. But grief has a physical side that sets us up for a number of health risks. "Most of these side effects are the result of emotional distress responses," explains Dr. Maureen Malin, a geriatric psychiatrist with Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a job, a home, or a beloved pet, it's important to understand how the process puts your health in jeopardy.
Grieving takes a toll on the body in the form of stress. "That affects the whole body and all organ systems, and especially the immune system," Dr. Malin says. Evidence suggests that immune cell function falls and inflammatory responses rise in people who are grieving. That may be why people often get sick more often and use more health care resources during this period.
But why is stress so hard on us? It's because the body unleashes a flood of stress hormones that can worsen many existing conditions (such as heart failure or diabetes) or lead to new ones (such as high blood pressure or heartburn). Stress can also cause insomnia and changes in appetite.
Extreme stress, the kind experienced after the loss of a loved one, is associated with changes in heart muscle cells or coronary blood vessels (or both) that prevent the left ventricle from contracting effectively — a condition called stress-induced cardiomyopathy or broken-heart syndrome. The symptoms are similar to those of a heart attack: chest pain and shortness of breath.
Depression symptoms include extreme hopelessness, insomnia, loss of appetite, suicidal thoughts, persistent feelings of worthlessness, and marked mental and physical sluggishness.
Dr. Malin says people who are depressed often isolate themselves and withdraw from social connections, and they often stop taking care of themselves properly. "You're not as interested in life. You fall down on the job, miss doctor appointments, stop exercising, stop eating properly. All of these things put your health at risk," she explains.
Some people may feel they need tools or guidance to navigate a period of grief. Two approaches can help.
See a grief counselor. This is a specialist who is trained to help you make sense of your feelings of loss. Grief counselors help people to understand that there are many ways to express and come to terms with grief. They are particularly attuned to common reactions to grief, whether these reactions are physical, emotional, or cognitive.
Join a grief support group. Such groups are typically led by a counselor who encourages members to share their feelings and experiences. Being with others, expressing yourself, realizing that you're not the only one going through a particular experience, and learning from others can be especially helpful.
It may seem impossible to think about maintaining good health when it's difficult to simply get through each day. But Dr. Malin says it's okay to just go through the motions at first ("fake it till you make it").
That may mean walking for five minutes every day, and then gradually increasing the amount of time you walk. And even if you don't feel like eating, go ahead and eat three healthy meals per day anyway. Your body needs calories to function, even if you're not hungry. Eating too little may add to fatigue.
And don't forget about social connections, which are crucial to good health. Stay in touch with friends and loved ones. Try to get out of your house and spend time with others, even if it's to talk about your grief.
A good way to stay on top of your health when you're grieving: "See your doctor, especially if symptoms worsen, and get back to a healthy routine as soon as possible," Dr. Malin suggests. That way, you can just follow your doctor's directions, putting one foot in front of the other until you develop your own routine.
In time — and there is no standard period of grief that applies to everyone — the sun will come out again, and you'll feel a little stronger each day. But you'll need a foundation of good health in order to get there. Give yourself that advantage. Your loved ones would want that for you.

Home/Business/Arctic Sea Ice Hits Annual Low, but It's Not as Low as Recent Years
Arctic Sea Ice Hits Annual Low, but It's Not as Low as Recent Years
Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has reached its minimum extent following the summer melt season, and coverage is not as low as it has been in recent years, scientists said Wednesday.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center, at the University of Colorado, said that the minimum had most likely been reached on Thursday and estimated this year's total ice extent at 1.82 million square miles, or 4.72 million square kilometers.
That is the 12th-lowest total since satellite sensing of the Arctic began in 1979 and about 25 percent higher than last year.
In a statement, Mark Serreze, the director of the center, described this year as a "reprieve" for Arctic sea ice, as colder and stormier conditions led to less melting. In particular, a persistent zone of colder, low pressure air over the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska slowed the rate of melting there.
The total is a reminder that the climate is naturally variable, and that variability can sometimes outweigh the effects of climate change. But the overall downward trend of Arctic sea ice continues, as the region warms more than twice as fast as other parts of the world. The record minimum was set in 2012, and this year's results are about 40 percent higher than that.
But this year's total is still nearly 600,000 square miles below the average minimum for 1981 to 2010. And including this year, the minimums for the last 15 years are the lowest 15 since 1979.
What's more, the relatively high minimum appears to have been gained at the expense of thicker, multiyear ice, which remains near its lowest totals in the satellite record.
Robbie Mallett, a sea ice researcher at University College London who is not affiliated with the National Snow and Ice Data Center, said there were two elements to the natural variability that could affect sea ice.
One is temperature. But the other, he said, was "how the ice is set up every winter to melt."
Last winter, Mr. Mallett said, winds drove a lot of thicker, older ice westward from north of Greenland to the Beaufort and a neighboring sea, the Chukchi. This summer, that thicker ice thinned, but most of it didn't melt completely.
"We packed the Beaufort Sea and the Chukchi Sea with this resilient multiyear ice, and it toughed it out to the end," he said. "And that was a positive result."
But thinning or complete melting of thicker Arctic sea ice (there is now about one-fourth as much as there was four decades ago) is troubling.
The thinner sea ice gets, the more sunlight it lets through to the water underneath, which can affect marine ecosystems and generate even more warmth as more of the sun's energy is absorbed and re-emitted as heat.
And since first-year ice, being thinner, is more prone to melting completely, as it replaces older ice the region overall becomes more susceptible to melting. Many scientists expect the Arctic may become ice-free in summers within a decade or two.
Mr. Mallett said that when sea-ice thickness is measured by satellite-borne radar this winter, "I suspect we'll see, perhaps not record-low thickness, but a low average thickness for the entire Arctic Ocean."
"There's certainly more than one diagnostic for the health of the Arctic," he said. "Extent is just one, but thickness and age are also in decline."
Mr. Mallett, who follows sea-ice extent closely, said that with the flow of multiyear ice into the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, among other factors, he had expected that this year's total would be "a little bit higher" than the long-term downward trend would suggest. "But it turns out it was a lot higher," he said.
The westward blowing of older ice from north of Greenland last winter may be a continuation of a troubling pattern that was noticed in 2020.
The area is normally so full of persistent, multiyear ice that it is known as the "last ice area," where, even as ice disappears completely in Arctic summers, it has been thought that enough ice will remain to serve as a refuge for polar bears and other ice-dependent wildlife.
But last year, a German research icebreaker on a yearlong expedition encountered little thick ice while traveling through the area. And a study suggested that variable wind patterns, coupled with warming-induced thinning and melting of ice, had led to much of the thicker ice being blown out of the area.

'Huge' fig tree branch falls on children riding bikes at Rottnest Island
By Daile Cross and David Prestipino
November 25, 2019 — 8.52am
A group of 11 and 12-year-old children holidaying on Rottnest Island narrowly avoided tragedy on Saturday when a large fig tree branch fell on top of them in the middle of the island's busy settlement.
Emma Forte's son Winter, 11, was riding his bike with his East Fremantle Primary School buddies near the popular Rottnest Bakery about 12.30pm when they heard a loud crack above them.
The year six class of 2019 was celebrating their upcoming primary school graduation with a trip to WA's premier island tourist spot with their families. They had been allowed to ride to the settlement on their own as their parents took advantage of the apparent safety the island affords and allowed their kids the freedom to gain a little bit of independence.

Mrs Forte said the students panicked when they heard the crack and scattered in fright, but her son was hit by the branch, leaving him with a suspected fractured arm and a ruined bike.
The big old Moreton Bay Fig branch hit his arm and bike, warping its handle bars and buckling the wheel, she said.
"His whole group were very distressed," Mrs Forte said.
"It could have killed him."
Winter was taken to the island's nursing post where medical staff said they suspected a fracture and bandaged his arm. He spent three hours with the nurse and is wearing a sling.
He will have follow-up x-rays in Perth.
When the family went to drop the key back to the island's Visitor Centre, they overheard staff saying it was lucky nobody was injured from the incident.
"We had quite a distressing day. He was with a whole group of his friends, some of them were in tears. It was quite upsetting for a lot of them, and a distressing day for my son, and us," Mrs Forte said.
"This was an exciting, well-anticipated graduating family camp.
"It's become a little tradition amongst the families to have a weekend at Rottnest at the end of year six to say goodbye to their friends, a last hurrah."
Mrs Forte said staff at the island contacted her and said they'd heard someone got injured in her group.
"They sort of said, 'let me know if there is anything you need for the remainder of your stay'," she said.

On Sunday when Mrs Forte contacted the staff member again, and mentioned that the bike had been damaged, her son was offered a free hire bike for the afternoon. But Mrs Forte said her injured son was in no hurry to get back on a bike.
"It was massive, this branch," she said.
"When they fall, these big heavy ones, they fall fast.
"The kids were in a big group and heard the crack and all panicked and started swerving. My son swerved, and luckily he did, because it probably would have whacked him in the head and who knows, it could have possibly killed him.
"The handle bars are solid steel and they bent, so his soft little arm certainly copped a walloping."
One of Winter's caring friends got him to the nurses' station and stayed by his bedside, and the waiting room was full of his friends "holding court in the waiting room".
It's not the first time safety issues on the island have been raised.
The Rottnest Island Authority was critised for failing to properly assess the risks to pedestrians who used the holiday destination's Army Jetty, or properly maintain the jetty, before it collapsed in October last year, a KPMG review found.
The inquiry was ordered by the state government when the South Thomson Bay jetty collapsed and injured a 63-year-old woman, a 48-year-old mother and her 11-year-old son, who had been fishing at the popular tourist spot at the time.
In 2009 a three-year-old child died when a pylon collapsed on him, a horrific incident which resulted in millions spent on maintenance on the island in the years following.
Tourism Council of WA chief executive Evan Hall said the Rottnest Island Authority had two key tasks.
"One is the protection and conservation of the island and two is to provide great visitor service, and that starts with safety," he said.
"The incident [regarding the boy] is a safety one that is the responsibility of the authority."
He said though the RIA did a good job it received inadequate funding through the state government.
"As visitation continues to grow on the island on the back of tourism investment, the state government has to also consider providing funds for basic infrastructure and facilities," he said.
Nearly 100 trees in and around the Rottnest Settlement area were assessed by an arborist six weeks ago as part of an ongoing program of assessments, according to the RIA. The trees were found to be in generally good health.
"The health condition of the specific tree that lost a branch on Saturday was described as 'good' – the second highest rating," a spokesperson for the RIA said.
"However, in view of Saturday's incident, the arborist will be returning to the island within a week to provide a further assessment of the tree and those near it."
They said the RIA had been in regular contact with the family involved over the weekend regarding assistance and support for the family and their group, but the family had declined offers of assistance.
A partial collapse of a giant 86-year-old Moreton Bay fig tree at the University of Western Australia last year was captured on video, with witnesses describing thunderous cracking sounds as it fell.

Everything around us is a discovery -- even if you've seen it before.
When you watch a movie for the second time -- you discover knew things, and dialogue you missed before.
Discovering requires more than looking.
In order to 'see' you must have a clear mind otherwise you will 'color' everything you see.
When you look at someone, you see them from the front.
However, someone else may see them from behind and get an entirely different opinion based upon their different view -- of the same person.
Another person, standing farther away, may only make out their relative size and male or female.
But, when you look closely into someone's face, do you see them the way they see their self?
Our goal is to UNCLOUD your vision and CLEAR your mind -- so you can see you -- clearly.


Whether you are ordering a hamburger and want to trust that no one is spitting in your food or you are closing on a business deal, you must rely on people, but not all people are reliable.
On a personal note, I've seen friends and professional friends of mine make choices and enter into contracts, which are written agreements, that I question. I question who they are doing business with – in the office or on a date.
In other words, anytime you are entering an agreement with another and you need to trust them to be or do what they say they will, you need to know how to read people.
Wouldn't it be great if you saw red flags ahead of time so that you either chose someone else to work with or you understood what personality problems you might encounter?
Join me in this week's video to learn 3 different ways to ready people.
How do you know who you can rely on? What can you look for when determining which person to hire or who you can trust?
1) In this video we go over looking for people's emotional charges, which are due to issues and limiting beliefs people hold. These will present in strong traits, such as a cause or absolutes. In the video I'll tell you what to look for so that, for example, so that you can find indicators that will tell you whether a potential employee or business partner will do what is required of them or not.
2) Video 2 talks about removing projections. Just like people wearing 'rose colored glasses', we tend to see things from a certain angle in life and the people we are speaking with tend to present things a certain way. As you learn to remove all those colored glasses, you'll learn to read people more clearly.
3) Video 3 is all about tapping into someone's desires such that you might be able to help them achieve their dream, such as growing their business or getting a promotion, in order to have them help you with your business or what it is that you are after. Working cooperatively this way occurs when you can read people, see what you want to avoid in them and move towards the cooperative behavior you want to solicit from them.
I am greatly appreciative of what you present, in a basic understanding of energetic signatures. I find it helpful even though I am not in a relationship.

As a follow up to her presentation, Sister Susan shares the following National Catholic News article: Bishops decry border 'emergency' as locals step up for migrants. Sister Susan worked with most of the people mentioned in the article. She says that their comments echo her own observations and feelings.
While the Trump administration seeks to prove the existence of a national emergency at the country's southern border, the El Paso, Texas, community is living — and humanely responding to — the reality.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers For The Week (June 1, 2020)
Calling all Days of Our Lives (DOOL) fans! Time for another update on what will roll down the pipe in the next week! Some major character returns are on the horizon while someone deals with pending fears. Also, another character gets kidnapped! Learn about these storylines and others in the DOOL spoilers for the week of June 1, 2020.
9. Guess Who's Coming Back?
Days spoilers reveal that Claire Brady will be released from Bayview this week, as actress Olivia Rose Keegan reprises her infamous role. Expect to see Claire's return on the Wednesday, June 3rd episode. With that said, Claire Bear won't be the only one returning to Salem in the coming days.
8. More Returns
In addition to Claire, her parents Belle and Shawn Brady will hit Salem in and around the same time to help their daughter with her Bayview release. According to DOOL spoilers, their return will coincide with Claire's comeback, so fans should expect to see their familiar faces either before or on Wednesday's episode. Fans should note that Claire's return is a bit more permanent while Shelle's will be temporary.
7. The Marlena Factor
What does Marlena have to do with Claire's return? Well, DOOL spoilers suggest that she'll turn to her grandma Marlena in the coming days and beg her for help to get an early dismissal from the facility this week. Seems like Claire's pleading will do the trick, and it won't take long before she's back in Salem. Will she be reformed, or will she cause chaos? Only time will tell!
6. Lani's Fears
Across town, Lani will struggle immensely. One would think that because she just got engaged and learned she's expecting that she'd be on cloud nine. Sadly, DOOL spoilers imply otherwise. Lani will face a tremendous amount of fear this week around her condition, and because she lost her child the last time she was expecting, this trauma could affect her this time around.
5. Jake Turns To Ben
DOOL spoilers hint that Jake will finally come clean this week to Ben. There's certainly something suspicious going on with Jake and the goons that are after him, and it seems like he and Ben will get close enough in the coming days where Jake feels as if he can tell him truly what is going on.
4. Gabi Kidnapped!
With that said, as the days go by, something massive will occur, and it may involve Jake and his goons. As per DOOL spoilers, Jake will tell Ciara and Ben that Gabi's been kidnapped. Teasers use the word "reveal" so whether she goes missing first, and then Jake spills the beans — or Jake says something right away — will be interesting.
3. Rafe's Custody Battle
DOOL spoilers indicate that Hope will go to bat for her ex-hubby Rafe this coming week, as it relates to his custody battle over David. Seems as if Zoey won't budge an inch, despite what her father (and brother) have done, and she'll continue her pledge to gain custody of David. But, will she succeed?
2. Steve and Kayla
Will these two ever reunite? Seems like they are headed on that road! DOOL spoilers state that Steve will get drunk this coming week, and will be tempted to tell Kayla that he wants to be with her! Will he end up going through with it, or will someone stop him?
1. Justin For The Save?
DOOL spoilers for this week hint that Justin will head to Adrienne's grave and ask for her permission to marry Kayla. He'll also have a chat with Sonny, and his son is sure to give him the green light and encourage him to propose. Could Justin decide to propose to Kayla next week, right as Steve gets the courage to tell her how he feels?

A roll up idea with cream cheese and berries!
Spread berry cream cheese on your tortilla (you can soften your tortillas in microwave with a damp paper towel for 10 seconds).
Now add a sprinkling of red leaf lettuce and your berries. Roll up and cut into cute little rolls for your kiddos. Enjoy!


Since I was too lazy to make a post for episode 109, I'm gonna do one for both 109 and 110 here.
Up first, the next Orctonnian boar. This fella is done.
Skin and pants are done.
Here's the colors used on the skin tone.
I'm very happy with the results of that. It's a nice muted green tone!
Lastly, per the conversation in episode 110, I picked up a new hotrod. This will no doubt be keeping me busy for a decent chunk of the winter.
It's a 1928 Ford Tudor ratrod. I'm pretty stoked up!

Our Mission is to give adults with Autism the opportunity to live fulfilling lives in vibrant, safe communities, supported by a "person-centered" culture. Autism Communities was founded in 2015 by Charles Massimo, Founder and CEO of CJM Wealth Management, and the father of two sons with Autism. From the moment his sons were diagnosed, Charles worried about how they would be cared for when he was no longer able. Like all parents, he wanted them to have the best life possible. Most importantly, he wanted then to have a place to call home in a community that knows and welcomes them. Autism Communities was founded with the goal of providing adults with Autism a home of their own, in a vibrant community setting. We envision a community where they can enjoy a fulfilling, healthy lifestyle in a safe environment, with access to social, recreational, education, and employment opportunities.

Q: React Navigation changing tab icons on tab navigator dynamically So I am new to react native and redux. The app is already configured (by someone else) to have react-navigation and redux. Now we're using a TabNavigator (bottom) for our menu and this TabNavigator also contains the Login button. Now what I want to do is when the user logs in, the Login button (with text and icon) becomes Logout.
Is there a way to do that? Also my TabNavigator is in a separate file.
What I want is something like this:
TabNavigator(
  {
    ...other screens,
    //show this only if not logged in
    Login: {
      screen: LoginScreen
    },
    //show this only if logged in
    Logout: {
      screen: //There should be no screen here just the logout functionality
    }
  },
  {...options here}
)

Thanks in advance.

A: You can do it using Redux:
AuthIcon.js:
const LOGGED_IN_IMAGE = require(...)
const LOGGED_OUT_IMAGE = require(...)

class AuthIcon extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const { loggedIn, focused, tintColor } = this.props
     // loggedIn is what tells your app when the user is logged in, you can call it something else, it comes from redux
    return (
       <View>
         <Image source={loggedIn ? LOGGED_IN_IMAGE : LOGGED_OUT_IMAGE} resizeMode='stretch' style={{ tintColor: focused ? tintColor : null, width: 21, height: 21 }} />
      </View>
    )
  }
}

const ConnectedAuthIcon = connect(state => {
   const { loggedIn } = state.auth
   return { loggedIn }
})(AuthIcon)

export default ConnectedAuthIcon;

then inside your TabNavigator file:
import ConnectedAuthIcon from './AuthIcon.js'

export default TabNavigator({
  Auth: {
    screen: Auth,
    navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
      tabBarLabel: null,
      tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor, focused }) => <ConnectedAuthIcon tintColor={tintColor} focused={focused} />,
      title: "Auth"
    })
  }
})

Edit:
In your Auth.js:
class Auth extends React.Component {

  render() {
    const { loggedIn } = this.props
    if (loggedIn) {
      return <Profile />
    } else {
      return <Login />
    }
  }

}

export default connect(state => {
  const { loggedIn } = state.auth
  return { loggedIn }
})(Auth)

Reynolds Gets Closure After Losing Career to Drugs
By Andrew Ashworth March 21, 2018 March 21, 2018
Leave a Comment on Reynolds Gets Closure After Losing Career to Drugs
Greg Reynolds was just 29 years old when his professional baseball career was cut short due to breaking his right hand. Wednesday, however, the now 32-year-old received closure as he was awarded $2.3 million by a California jury.
In January, 2015 in Ocean Colony, California, Reynolds attended a party held at a friend's home. Unfortunately for the former pitcher, Dominic Pintarelli was also in attendance, whom would go on to attack Reynolds and break his hand after taking LSD.
Pintarelli then started screaming and proceeded to take off his clothing. Afterwards, the 19-year-old Pintarelli tackled a mailbox and appeared to have injured himself. Reynolds went out to see if he was okay, and the 19-year-old attacked him, ultimately chasing him back to the home, where he shut the door. The drug-induced rage led him to attempt to break down the door, which Reynolds knew he then had to do something.
"So I opened the door and I hit him one time. I knew right away after I hit him, my finger was pointing at a terrible direction," Reynolds told ABC7News.
Pintarelli was convicted for felony assault, and Reynolds sued both the party host and his attacker.
He then went back to college, since his career was over, and got a degree in Finance from Stanford, which is also where he played collegiate baseball.
"No doubt in my mind I'd still be playing if this hadn't happened," Stated Reynolds.
While he was awarded $2.3 million, definitely a significant amount, he could have potentially made much more than that had he continued his baseball career.

Switching to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in entecavir-treated chronic hepatitis b patients: A pilot randomized controlled study
Jun Inoue, Takehiro Akahane, Tomoo Kobayashi, Noriyuki Obara, Teruyuki Umetsu, Eiji Kakazu, Masashi Ninomiya, Tomoaki Iwata, Akitoshi Sano, Mio Tsuruoka, Kosuke Sato, Atsushi Masamune
Although hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) removal is considered the goal of chronic hepatitis B treatment, it can rarely be achieved with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). It has been reported that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is superior in reducing HBsAg compared with entecavir (ETV) in treatment-naïve patients; however, the effect of TDF in patients who have received NAs is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of switching from ETV to TDF in patients who were already receiving ETV. A pilot randomized controlled study for 2 years in patients who had been treated with ETV for >1 year and did not exhibit drug resistance was performed (Clinical trial registration: UMIN000021948, UMIN-CTR, May 1, 2016). A total of 20 patients were enrolled and 19 patients were randomized into 2 groups, a TDF-switching group (n=12) or an ETV-continuing group (n=7). The mean change in HBsAg levels after 2 years was greater in the TDF group compared with the ETV group, but the difference was not significant (-0.25 vs. -0.06 log IU/ml). In the TDF group, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive patients at baseline showed significantly greater changes in HBsAg (-0.63 vs. -0.03 log IU/ml; P=0.030). In contrast, no difference between HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients was observed in the ETV group. No significant differences of estimated glomerular filtration rate and inorganic phosphorus changes were observed among the TDF and ETV groups. In conclusion, a significant HBsAg decrease was not achieved after switching from ETV to TDF in the overall analysis, but HBeAg-positive patients showed a larger HBsAg decrease after switching treatment.

People take pictures in front of the Snapchat Inc. headquarters on the strand at Venice Beach in Los Angeles, Calif.
Is there a chance Snapchat is becoming a bigger threat to Facebook? Martin Sorrell, the chief executive of WPP, the world's largest advertising firm, thinks it may be.
Sorrell first told CNBC Tuesday that the firm's clients spent a whopping $90 million on advertising on Snapchat last year—about $60 million more than what WPP predicted would be spent on the app at the beginning of the year. That amount means Snapchat's 2016 revenues are likely to be higher than what the market currently predicts, CNBC reports, considering WPP clients spent $90 million of the original $350 million that was expected.
"It does become a threatening alternative to Facebook and I think that's the big opportunity for them. We know Facebook have tried to buy Snapchat a couple of times, we know that they've made product changes as a result of Snapchat's products," Sorrell told CNBC.
"I think with the measurement issues, with the fake news issues, and the fraud issues that the internet faces, clients want to try and experiment," he said.
That aside, Snapchat is also gearing up for an IPO that could reportedly value the company at $25 billion, and ad spend on the app could reach nearly $1 billion ($935.46 million) in 2017, CNBC reports—giving it a chance to raise the stakes among more established companies like Facebook (fb) and Google (googl). However, when compared to the amount that clients spent on advertising on those companies, Snapchat still has a long way to go: In 2016, clients spent $5 billion and $1.7 billion on Google and Facebook, respectively.

But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites … Solomon clung to these in love.
How could this be? The wisest man on planet earth falls prey to his love for women! He loved the women so much that he built them altars to worship their own gods. Understandable. Imagine your 1000 wives plus concubines pestering you each day for permission to fulfil their religious duties. One unhappy wife is sufficient to cause headache – imagine 1000! But did he really "love" them? Or was he merely trying to keep peace in his mini United Nations? The wisest thing he could have done was to keep to one wife. Well, too late. Heart before head, flesh before spirit, pragmatism before wisdom.
Wisdom is not sufficient for a blessed life. Wisdom can show me want to do, but it cannot do it for me. In fact, wisdom can make me feel like I am better than the rest. Yet such wisdom is not true wisdom – as it leaves God out of the picture. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10) – Solomon knew, but again had ignored. So what is more important than wisdom? Faith in God leading to obedience to His will. That's true wisdom.
Lord, thank you for such a vivid reminder that we can have everything (even wisdom!) and yet lose our soul. Help us to overcome our weakness and unbelief – by Your amazing grace, power and love!


"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth." Revelation 14:1-3.
• Emphasize that God will reveal His love in the final time through the remnant people and that the plan of salvation will come to an end. ? Remember that in the spiritual battle Christ already reached the victory and the same is promised to us. 'To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.' Revelation 3:21..
• To focus that every victorious believer will be invited to partake in this glorious privilege and share the joy.
1. What are the goals of Satan against God's people? How will the controversy between Christ and Satan develop?
"There are only two parties upon this earth–those who stand under the bloodstained banner of Jesus Christ and those who stand under the black banner of rebellion. In the twelfth chapter of Revelation is represented the great conflict between the obedient and the disobedient." –Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 7, p. 974.
2. How is the victorious scene of the church described in a holy vision? Who are those people?
"In holy vision the prophet saw the ultimate triumph of God's remnant church. He writes: 'I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory…stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints.' (Revelation 15:2, 3).
'And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with Him a hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name written in their foreheads.'(Revelation 14:1)…They are of that number to whom Christ says, 'Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.' He welcomes them as His children, saying, 'Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.' (Matthew 25:34, 21).
'These are they which follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the fi rst fruits unto God and to the Lamb.' (Revelation 14:4)." –The Acts of the Apostles, pp. 590, 591.
3. Which Satanic deception has also taken root in the modern Christian world?
"In the opening of the great controversy, Satan had declared that the law of God could not be obeyed, that justice was inconsistent with mercy, and that, should the law be broken, it would be impossible for the sinner to be pardoned. Every sin must meet its punishment, urged Satan; and if God should remit the punishment of sin, He would not be a God of truth and justice. When men broke the law of God, and defied His will, Satan exulted." –The Desire of Ages, p. 761.
4. What is the evidence that God's law is perfect and could be kept? A clear evidence will be revealed by intelligent beings. Who are they?
Revelation 14:1-5 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5. In order to have clear evidence that God's law can be kept, what experience is required by the remnant people? Imagine the experiences of the 144,000 who, for a time, have to live without a Mediator.
Jeremiah 30:5-7 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
"In that fearful time the righteous must live in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor. The restraint which has been upon the wicked is removed, and Satan has entire control of the finally impenitent. God's longsuffering has ended." –The Great Controversy, pp. 613, 614.
6. How does Spirit of Prophecy testify that the 144,000 will keep their faith and overcome in the Jacob's trouble when there is no mediator? What time is this?
"In the midst of the angry heavens is one clear space of indescribable glory whence comes the voice of God like the sound of many waters, saying: 'It is done.' (Revelation 16:17)." –The Great Controversy, pp. 635, 636.
7. What will happen to those who are dead having faith in the third angel's message? What will they experience with their unchanged body?
"Graves are opened, and 'many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth…awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.' (Daniel 12:2). All who have died in the faith of the third angel's message come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear God's covenant of peace with those who have kept His law. 'They also which pierced Him' (Revelation 1:7), those that mocked and derided Christ's dying agonies, and the most violent opposers of His truth and His people, are raised to behold Him in His glory and to see the honor placed upon the loyal and obedient." –The Great Controversy, p. 637.
"Soon there appears in the east a small black cloud, about half the size of a man's hand. It is the cloud which surrounds the Saviour and which seems in the distance to be shrouded in darkness. The people of God know this to be the sign of the Son of man. In solemn silence they gaze upon it as it draws nearer the earth, becoming lighter and more glorious, until it is a great white cloud, its base a glory like consuming fire, and above it the rainbow of the covenant. Jesus rides forth as a mighty conqueror." –The Great Controversy, pp. 640, 641.
8. After the victorious will be transformed to an immortal body, with whom will they ascend to the Heavenly city?
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
"The living righteous are changed 'in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.' At the voice of God they were glorified; now they are made immortal and with the risen saints are caught up to meet their Lord in the air…Friends long separated by death are united, nevermore to part, and with songs of gladness ascend together to the City of God.
"On each side of the cloudy chariot are wings, and beneath it are living wheels; and as the chariot rolls upward, the wheels cry, 'Holy,' and the wings, as they move, cry, 'Holy,' and the retinue of angels cry, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.' And the redeemed shout, 'Alleluia!' as the chariot moves onward toward the New Jerusalem." –The Great Controversy, p. 645.
"As the ministration of Jesus closed in the holy place, and He passed into the holiest, and stood before the ark containing the law of God, He sent another mighty angel with a third message to the world. A parchment was placed in the angel's hand, and as he descended to the earth in power and majesty, he proclaimed a fearful warning, with the most terrible threatening ever borne to man. This message was designed to put the children of God upon their guard, by showing them the hour of temptation and anguish that was before them. Said the angel, 'They will be brought into close combat with the beast and his image. Their only hope of eternal life is to remain steadfast. Although their lives are at stake, they must hold fast the truth.' The third angel closes his message thus: 'Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.' " –Early Writings, p. 254.
• What is God trying to manage through His remnant people of the last time? Who are they?
• What fault did Satan find in God's law in the beginning and what will be recognized at the end?
• Under what circumstances, should the 144,000 keep the commandments of God and keep their faith?
• What special experiences will the redeemed do at the second coming of Jesus?
• What should we do in order to be able to find ourselves among these glorious people?


Organized crime has never been this disorganized!
Johnny Kelly is a great young man with a heart of gold! Set in the 1930's, this comic spoof of classic gangster films portrays Johnny as a model son. Growing-up poor, Johnny finds himself unable to pay for his mother's medical treatment. Being forced into a life of crime, Johnny becomes a notorious gangster known as Johnny Dangerously!


After speaking to a group of plant managers at a national beverage company, one of them invited us to his cold storage warehouse in New Jersey. He walked us to the roof of his ten story facility overlooking the Hudson River on a bright, sunny day. The manager had directed his staff to avoid the area while we were testing, so it was just our team of two and Lady Liberty.
We were brought in specifically to inspect the plant's most susceptible line to corrosion, a 40 year-old hot gas defrost line. Given the relatively small testing area, we used the Profiler to scan the entire 110' of pipe in a few hours, as opposed to our normal day-long procedure involving spot checking numerous areas on thousands of feet along the HPL, suction, HGD, and DC lines.
The results for the majority of the pipe were straightforward, indicating everything was within tolerance. However, we were intrigued by two sections where the Profiler readings differed. We found a six foot segment where the pipe itself was thinner than the rest of the line, and a four inch section where there was a noticeable change indicated by the Profiler.
The Profiler detected welds at either end of the six foot segment, which helped make sense as to why there might be a difference in that area. But there were other welded sections, so that alone was not the reason for the reading variance. As for the four inch portion, there were no weld indications, so we were unsure why the readings were lower there—but we could tell something was different.
The plant manager returned a few hours later, surprised to find us already finished and discussing our findings. He asked if it was safe to be on the roof at that point. Having used conventional X-Ray testing in the past, he expected radiation barricades to be in place and had banned his workers from the area. But with the Lixi Profiler, it had been safe the entire time, as no radiation exposure hazard exists with this form of testing.
We explained the safety difference in our form of non destructive testing, and he asked what we had found. We first reviewed the variance we found in the 4 inch area of the pipe. He had not noticed anything odd about that portion of the pipe previously and wondered how we discovered the irregularity.
"Well, let me show you how this works," I said, and we walked over to that portion of the pipe with the Profiler. I scanned an area right next to the 4 inch outlier that registered in the same range as the majority of the pipe and let him view the results that immediately showed on the Profiler's screen. I repeated the process on the four inch section.
In less than a minute, he had looked at data for two neighboring sections of his pipe, seeing a noticeable difference between the two. With his permission, we cut into the plastic jacketing and discovered there was no insulation present in the four inch segment. Now we knew why the readings were different for this section—the Profiler was sensitive enough to have noticed missing insulation.
He was convinced by what he had seen, and since that time we have inspected multiple plants within the company.
In the meantime, however, we wanted to find out why the six foot segment of the pipe that had been welded in was found to be thinner than the rest. We repeated our measurements with the plant manager on hand, and then took the results back to the lab for some research.
We'll take a look at what we found in our next piece.

Mangroves potential lab for antibiotics
Ronda, Rainier Allan
Philippine mangrove ecosystems have abundant bacteria whose bioactive compounds can be used to produce powerful antibiotics, according to research conducted by the University of the Philippines in Los Baños (UPLB) and Department of Science and Technology-National Research Council of the Philippines. DOST-NRCP researcher Teofila Zulaybar of UPLB was able to isolate bioactive compounds from actinomycetes bacteria found in 10 mangrove areas in 10 provinces in the country. The research positively tested its efficacy in treating mastitis in cows by targeting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), its main causal organism.

UK/ICELAND: Baugur seen making new approach to Iceland – report
Icelandic investor Baugur is likely to make a fresh approach to UK supermarket chain Somerfield Plc, according to a report carried by the Reuters news agency which quoted "a source with insight into the situation."
But this may not mean a higher price or a formal conditional offer, Reuters said. Somerfield last week turned down an offer from Baugur. Reuters' source said Baugur was likely to return with greater assurances — not necessarily a higher price — on its potential £1.03bn (US$1.97bn) bid, although this would not necessarily take the form of a full and binding conditional offer.
"It's more than 50-50 that they will proceed in some way. It probably won't be today or tomorrow, but it could easily be next week. There are probably other ways to go to achieve an understanding than a full offer," the source said. "I've seen firmer rebuttals than the one Somerfield gave. The wording of the statement didn't seem to turn them down on price and gave some hope an agreement could be reached."
"How much certainty you can give at this stage?" the source said. "Baugur thought they had provided enough of an assurance they would come up with an offer."
Reuters also quoted a "source close to the matter," who said the ball was now firmly in Baugur's court and that the Somerfield board had been at pains not to frighten the Icelandic investor off.
"The board didn't express a view on the price, although the market did — the share is still higher than it would have been if the market recognised a 190 pence exit price.
"There is such a thing as a conditional offer, and this wasn't one. If that's not there, there's nothing for the shareholders to take a view on. The situation remains fluid," the source said.

Questioner: I am very very new with R... Is there some simple code I could just paste?
Translation: Really? Isn't there anything you could suggest?
Looking over the original exchange it does not look like this code would even work for a logit for which it was originally needed. However, I will post it on github and perhaps others will find the concept useful enough to make revisions (unlikely). I might take another go at making it more general in the future though in all likelihood some user will send me an angry message saying "this has already been done by ...".
this helped me much, thanx for that!
Good post and thanks for the function. I agree that people can often lose their humility when they attain greater knowledge and skill which obviously happens sometimes with users on R mailing lists. But then again, its also about finding a good balance. People usually gain more by solving things for themselves but sometimes they need that little bit of help to get them started. In any case, its always better to be respectful!
If you want to write to an excel format rather than a csv format, see packages xlsx and XLConnect. Here's an overview, although not specific to lm: https://tradeblotter.wordpress.com/2013/05/02/writing-from-r-to-excel-with-xlsx/.
Fourth answer, plus translation, is the reason why I don't care to read R-help any longer.
Also, because thanks to cheap HDD space, my own stupidity would be visible for later generations, much to my embarrassement, I guess.
I know prefer to bugger my colleagues, which seem to be all better in learning R and stats than me. I'm lucky to have such an environment. My supervisors and co-authors, on the other hand, are utterly useless in such a case.
Yea, there's a much simpler way to do this using the R2HTML package. The package has an HTML2clip function which will format the summary output as an HTML table on the clipboard, which can be pasted into Excel.
and then you just past into Excel.
I had to face that problem when teaching R to social science students who do not use TeX and thus could not use the stargazer package to get their OLS results out of the console. It'd be great if the package could gain some form of CSV export (it already exports to ASCII, so even that should be parsable).
I've had good luck using package xtable to format tables in html. Save that to a file and import it into Excel or print it to the console, select it and paste it into Excel.
It's a shame the original questioner felt obliged to delete their question. A more useful answer would be, someone on stackoverflow might *explain* it to you, but R-help will try to make it as obscure and difficult as possible to deter 'stupid' questions.
Just noticed this posted to R-bloggers. I've recently finished writing up two informal papers (for our local online magazine: Benchmarks) which deal with similar issues -- getting stuff out of R and into Excel as well as getting stuff from Excel into R...See Adobe.pdf files below.
A couple things. First, like it or not, there is an "intro" to the r-help mailing lists which people are supposed to read and respect. The mailing lists are quite specifically NOT for people who have no understanding of software, which is certainly the case for the vignette you posted. Novices should learn how to program and how to use R by reading the excellent R-intro document. Frankly, the responses weren't insulting. They were blunt and to the point. If the mailing list encouraged questioners of all levels it would collapse under the weight of the posts. People really, no REALLY, need to be taught to do their own research, in this case meaning scouring the help archives for similar questions.
Second, I'm a bit concerned that your example of writing from R to Excel includes massive truncation of the data. Unless you have some a priori reason to believe everyone's data are precise to only 3 places or so, why are you doing that?
As for your first point. I guess I am just baffled why such a fundamental question would not have an easy answer. That are the basic features of any statistical software? 1. Import data 2. Do analysis 3. Export analysis. How much scouring really should be necessary?
As for your second point. It is an option in the function to choose the number of digits to truncate. I was hoping anybody who was looking at it could figure that out pretty easy but perhaps I should have put more comments.
Point One: People who ask that question need to step back and learn about the concept of software, not to mention the concept of "find the existing introductive tutorials." The original question is right up there with "Hey, how do I change the font size in Microsoft Word." Do you really believe questions like that should be asked? Point two: yes I saw your options. That's not how precision analysis works. If you are going to export data, the best thing to do by far is export as binary, i.e. precision to the limit of the source. If you must go by way of ASCII text, then always send as many digits as possible; leaving actual analysis for later.
As for the primary point of me critiquing the hostile tone of the original post. It seems you are continuing expressing yourself in the same brutal tone.
In addition, I don't see how it serves anybody having an R censorship board running around telling people what questions are worth asking.
Fortunately, people were much kinder to me than I am guessing you would have been.
I wrote a small package that attempts to write an 'arbitrary' R data structure (vector, df, matrix, list) to a CSV file in a reasonable format (list elements are written sequentially and indented according to their level in the list), using a single command, 'toCSV'. It was one of my first attempts at an R package and is probably a piece of rubbish - there is at least one bug in there that still needs fixing. Ergo, it has not been released.
@cellocgw Boo to that opinion (not to you personally, but definitely to that opinion). Let's not pretend that the internet is a place where people read introductory documents before they participate.
The *correct* response to any overly-simple question on R-help is "I think you'll find your answer (and more!) over at stackoverflow.com. It's easy to ask questions and many answers are already there! Good luck!"
That said, even SO still has some barriers to the really new. I would love to see a sandbox area of SO where dumb/repeat/unresearched questions are not only allowed, but encouraged.
Appreciated! Small typo, though: ncol twice where you refer to the created ncoll object.
Note that "resultRawls" is the name of the new file I want to create.
I wrote an R package called 'table1xls' for doing this and other routine Excel-exporting of formatted table. It has been available on CRAN since fall 2013, so a couple months after you wrote this post.
And no, I don't belong to "The Club" either. Having to communicate with doctors, nurses, biologists, etc. on a daily basis, one must use Excel and other beasts. Using R code rather than copying-pasting each table separately, makes the communication far more reproducible.


Shrimp chilaquiles recipe is an all time favorite in our house. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, this skillet will satisfy your cravings any time of the day.
Validation is basic human necessity. We're all looking for someone to see us, tell us we're doing a good job, and make us feel wanted and important. I would be willing to bet that the majority of people would say that they feel under appreciated from time to time, me included.
This week has been particularly tough since Summer has been keeping us up at night crying in her crate. One day in particular after a long sleepless night, I was buried in work, staring down a long list of personal errands, and on the brink of tears all day long.
After leaving the office I still had to load both dogs in the car and take them to the vet.
I thought I was going to have a meltdown.
We arrived at the vet's office to an outpouring of love.
Olive has long been a very popular dog with the entire staff, and almost every single technician came out to say hello when they heard we were there.
Of course, no one can resist a puppy so everyone was also ooh-ing and ahh-ing over Summer, but what really got me was the vet's comments on what a beautiful and well behaved dog Olive was, and what a wonderfully sweet and friendly puppy Summer was. "I don't even need to give you the puppy welcome packet, you're clearly doing a great job with these dogs".
I cried in the car on the way home. The best feeling in the world is for someone to notice, and validate your efforts, especially when it's needed the most. The simplest words can make the hugest difference in someone's day.
The icing on the cake was that The Hubs took over doggy duties that night so I could catch up on sleep. He saw me drowning and helped me.
All of this has absolutely nothing to do with chilaquiles. This is what's on my mind these days, and chilaquiles are what's on my plate.
Sometimes I wonder if people even read what I write in these blogs, or if they just skip straight to the recipe. I actually don't care either way. I'm going to continue to write about what's going on in my brain while simultaneously showing what's on my table. This is me. This is Betsylife. I make the rules. It doesn't have to make sense.
If you do decide to give this recipe a try, I'd love to see it! Tag me @betsylife on Facebook or Instagram and I'll share your creations!
Simple shrimp recipes are the best. This easy chilaquiles recipe is an all time favorite in our house. Breakfast, lunch or dinner this skillet will satisfy your cravings any time of the day.
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet to medium high heat. Add olive oil and cook shrimp until pink, about 6 minutes. Set shrimp aside.
Pour salsa into skillet, add chips and toss until all chips are coated in salsa. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Top with shrimp, grilled corn, queso fresco, red onion, avocado cream sauce, cilantro and eggs.
I love Mexican but chilaquiles are something I never have made before.. they do look so flavourful and delicious. Something I have to make. Thanks!
