The latest World of Warcraft expansion has received a fair amount of criticism, Blizzard has made a lot of design choices that fell flat with their audience. One thing that Blizzard is doing well in the Battle for Azeroth expansion is showing unique story differences between the Alliance and Horde factions. If you like playing the game on both factions you are able to experience a completely different story and zones. In the second raid for the BFA expansion they have carried forward this theme by having unique horde and alliance perspective encounters. This doesn't mean that you are limited to the bosses that you are able to experience but rather you are changed to the opposing faction depending on the fight.
On Tuesday the Mythic version of the raid will be available for play which will no doubt be an event to rival the popularity of the Uldir race to world first. What I'm most looking forward to is the rematch between the guilds Method and Limit. Both were neck in neck for the World First title with Method pulling the win in the end. For the first time ever, several of the top raiding guilds were streaming their boss kill attempts gaining a huge audience on Twitch.tv. Historically guilds would not publish videos with their attempts or strategies until well after several guilds have figured out the fight for themselves. With the growing popularity of streaming games on twitch, there is a lot to gain by showing your attempts. I know that I was watching Method's attempts, sometimes on the edge of my seat as they had those super close attempts and 1% wipes.
Limit has been pulling out the stops when it comes to preparing for this next race to World First. I'm hoping that Limit will join in with streaming their own content, which could generate a lot of fans and revenue for the players of the #1 US guild. Limit has reportedly transferred over to the Alliance faction in order to take advantage of the benefits that the faction will receive from warmode. Will they transfer back to Horde side which has been their home or will they capture the hearts of the newly adopted alliance brothers and sisters? It would be refreshing to see Limit represent the Alliance in the race and hopefully help balance the represented factions in high end raiding.
Method will be streaming their raid attempts once again will no doubt be flooded with support for their stream team. I've been watching many of their players maintain steady viewship since the release of Uldir back in September 2018. Prior to Method streaming their Uldir progression I would have told you "World of Warcraft raids are not that popular to watch on stream" but here I am eating my hat. The streaming of Uldir brought streaming of wow to a whole new level and some well deserved attention to all the players that work so hard to play at a high level. They once Method will be teaming up with Redbull to give their content a professional level of production value.
I'm hoping to see more high end raiders get into streaming. I know that I will be tuning in to twitch to watch those gracious enough to share their journey with us plebs. Tune into Twitch.tv for this epic event starting on Tuesday January 28th and get hyped!
Method has not been shy about showing their progress to the world as they work on the final boss of Uldir. This is an unusual move for a high profile guild since most opt for secrecy when working on their own world rankings. Many of Method's raid team have been dominating the top stream spots for World of Warcraft for the past week. At current tally Method streamers are responsible for 78% of the all of the World of Warcraft viewership today on twitch.tv. After following their progress It is apparent that the production value of their content is incredibly high and is reminiscent of the Olympics coverage on NBC.
Great job to everyone involved with the race, the raiders of Method, the hosts, production crew and everyone that made this amazing show possible.


The 1998 Federal Division Championship game featured the Mudhens against the Sea Bass. As the visiting team, the Sea Bass batted first and had six consecutive hits which produced a quick three run lead. They scored two more runs in the second inning and that was all they needed. The final score was Sea Bass 5 & Mudhens 3. Troy Wilhite of the Sea Bass gave up only four hits, striking out six batters, and did not allow an earned run in nine innings. This is the first championship for the Sea Bass and for them it was basically a Cinderella season. Congratulations Fish!!

Q: Unit Test : Custom Timer Assert I would like to make a custom Assertion for my unit test which would measure the execution time of two c# functions and compare them.
I have written the code below, but there is a better way ?
public static class AssertExtensions
{
    public static void MoreSlowThan(Action slowFunction, Action fastFunction)
    {
        var watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        slowFunction();
        watch.Stop();
        var watchBis = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        fastFunction();
        watchBis.Stop();
        Assert.IsTrue(watch.ElapsedMilliseconds >= watchBis.ElapsedMilliseconds);
    }
}

called by :
AssertExtensions.MoreSlowThan(() => MyFunction(), () => MyCachedFunction());

(the goal is to compare the execution time of a function with the execution time of the same function in cache)

A: The best way i found it's refactor it with MSTest-2 like :
public static void IsFaster(this Assert assert, Action expectedFastAction, Action actualSlowAction)
{
    var slowStopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    actualSlowAction();
    slowStopwatch.Stop();

    var fastStopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    expectedFastAction();
    fastStopwatch.Stop();

    Assert.IsTrue(slowStopwatch.Elapsed >= fastStopwatch.Elapsed, string.Format("First function would be faster than the second. Fast function elapsed time : {0}. Slow function elapsed time : {1}", fastStopwatch.Elapsed, slowStopwatch.Elapsed));
}

And call it with :
Assert.That.IsSlower(() => MyCachedFunction(), () => MyFunction());

If anyone has a better way

Kaspersky has made another disturbing finding, as security firms often do, and in this case it's the fact that a corporate network can be cracked wide open using a basic hacking tool. Namely a piece of hardware that costs just $20 (£15) and can be configured in just a few hours by someone with only a basic knowledge of programming.
The experiment Kaspersky conducted involved using a Raspberry Pi which was configured as an Ethernet adapter, had the OS tweaked slightly, with publicly available tools for packet sniffing and data collection then being installed.
Security researchers from the company set up a server to collect the data which this device would intercept, and the Raspberry Pi-powered device was then connected to a target (victim) PC.
Obviously, this is a pretty worrying observation, particularly as no malicious software was needed at all – just easily available programs downloaded from the internet.
The caveat is that this isn't something which can be pulled off remotely, as obviously the attacker must have physical access to a PC on the company network, in order to plug the device into a port.
However, this is far from unheard-of in the corporate world. Indeed, Kaspersky's investigation was inspired by the real-world story of a cleaner at an organisation who used a USB stick to infect the company network with malware.
Kaspersky explains that the attack works because the operating system of the victim PC identifies the Raspberry Pi device as a wired LAN adapter, and gives it access to data exchange within the network. The attack works against both Windows and Mac computers (whether locked or unlocked), but researchers couldn't pull it off with a Linux computer.
The main defence against attacks like these revolves around educating staff members. For example, when returning to their computers, employees should be aware to check for extra USB devices plugged into their machines. And of course USB sticks from unknown or untrusted sources should never be used with company PCs (or any machine, for that matter).
Beyond that, extra precautions can include changing passwords regularly, and enabling two-factor authentication, so knowledge of a password isn't enough to log on (because this requires a second factor, like a texted code, when logging in from a new device or location).

Frightful Forests: 13 of the Best Classic Stories of Haunted Woods and Cursed Campers
(Updated from August 2017) Every summer there are nights that I feel the urge to wander into the shady woods of my native Midwest: the air has a soft, steamy texture that carries the heavy odors of rain-soaked earth, sun-warmed grass, and air-stirred flowers, the days are lengthy and bright, the nights short and warm, and the outdoors ring with the harmonics of frogs and cicadas hidden in the dark. I haven't been camping in a few years, but I still get that restless feeling to pack up the car and drive to some remote state park where the trees block the sky and the land rolls in a twisting surf of craggy hills and misty vales.
But as much as my spirit feels a warm draw to the wilderness, it also shudders when I begin to imagine combing my way through unfamiliar trails miles away from help.
Tales of dark and scary forests are older than history itself. World literature – especially fantasy, horror, and speculative fiction – has seemingly always recognized woodlands as a zone that emulates the frightful shadows of the human heart, in which lurk unseen monsters and unnoticed traps. The forest harbors both an archetypal attraction – of freedom and sincerity – and an archetypal horror – of chaos and evil. While modern man may find solace in a weekend camping trip, there is still a small part of our evolved brain which shivers at the sight of trees blocking out the sun. They represent the loss of civilization and order, the reign of savage Nature and merciless Fate. The woods allow us to reconnect with our roots, but they also threaten to undo the work of society: to turn boys into monsters, men into murderers, and brave souls into cowering sheep.
As dear as they may be to us, as much as Wordsworth and Thoreau adored them, and as much as our souls swell at the sight of unfettered Nature, we still recognize the woodlands as our natural enemy. They threaten to harbor wild beasts, to discombobulate our sense of directon, to sever us from our secure communities, and to ensnare us in a world of savage misrule. I personally recommend that everyone spend time in nature – breathe the air under trees and see the sky reflected in a woodland pond – but the next time you go camping, take this book with you. Wait until the shadows have dropped and the light through the overhead branches is purple and dim. Light a fire in front of you and a lantern at your side. Read these classic stories of sylvan dread as the shadows shift around your campfire. I promise that it will deliver a truly rustic camping experience…
13. THE DEAD VALLEY - RALPH ADAMS CRAM
In Ralph Adams Cram's masterpiece (he only wrote six horror stories, but each is a poetic work of underrated genius), he tells the story of two Swedish boys who set out for home at twilight with a dog they have just bought at the market town. They wander through the woods but somehow become lost. All of a sudden, their senses are oppressed by a strange feeling of deep dread: they feel their blood flow and sense each step and crunch of grass. The darkness is oppressive and even the dog is terrified. They find themselves standing on the edge of some strange valley, where an ash-colored mist coats the ground, obscuring it. Overwhelmed, they flee, but their dog dies of his terror. Not long after, one of them returns to the woods in the daylight to explore this valley and see what it is all about. He finds a vast stretch of bare, lifeless earth surrounded by gloomy woodland, with a gaunt, skeletal tree breaching out of the middle. The tree's base is piled up with the bones of countless animals (and even one human skull, "grinning slowly"). Overhead a falcon cries out and plunges to the ground, dead, landing in the pile. The boy beats it, but darkness is falling, the ashy mists are rising, and he doesn't have much time left before he, too, will die and rot in the Dead Valley.
11-12. THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW /
THE DEVIL AND TOM WALKER - WASHINGTON IRVING
While Washington Irving's stories are more typically delicious satires in the vein of Mark Twain than tales of horror a la Poe, most of his best works are of a supernatural nature (or least may be of a supernatural nature), and these are often set in the lonely woodlands of New York and New England. "Rip Van Winkle" is among his most famous (a ghost story in its own right), but it is "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" -- with its ghoul-infested valley, its monstrous haunted tulip tree, and the Headless Horseman prowling its shadowy woods -- which has become a Gothic classic. Ichabod Crane's lonesome trip home (he never made it, of course) through the gloomy woodland of Tarrytown, New York still inspires imaginations.
So does a lesser known, though still popular tale: "The Devil and Tom Walker," a proto-Hawthorne story set in Puritan Boston where a ne'er-do-well miser loiters around the haunted forest where a row of trees are marked with the names of the Devil's servants (and are then chopped down when they die). Satan himself meets him there in the dress of a woodsman, complete with an axe to harvest his souls, and it is there in the dying light of a fall day that Walker offers up his.
9-10. THE VALLEY OF THE BEASTS /
ANCIENT LIGHTS - ALGERNON BLACKWOOD
Blackwood excelled at the wilderness horror story (these are not the only tales of his that we will feature). He had a gift for conjuring the sense of beauty and sublimity that might draw a man into nature's clutches before the tables turned and the trap was sprung. Both of these stories feature men who venture into the woods out of curiosity and hubris and who (barely) make it back in one piece, but with a much more complicated understanding of nature and their role in it. In "The Valley of Beasts," a jingoistic hunter (suitably named Grimwood) wanders off into a remote valley of the Canadian wilderness which his Indigenous guide warns him against as being a realm where the Great Spirit holds dominion. Grimwood forces his way into the hollow only to be gradually drawn under its spell. He finds himself literally and figuratively disarmed, stripping his clothes and weapons as he encounters oddly peaceful animals living together in harmony. At first he thinks that he has found a new Eden -- and then the bears start looking at him in a very unnerving manner.
In "Ancient Lights," Blackwood argues that even the smallest of clumps of nature can be dangerous: a bicyclist working on surveying a copse of trees in Sussex, in order to grub them up, decides to investigate it for himself. Entering the little wood he gradually becomes disoriented -- seeing, hearing, and feeling things -- and is sure that he has noticed a grinning man in green more than once by the time he decides to escape. But wait a moment: for such a little wood, it would surely not be so hard to find your way out? But of course, he didn't realize that the locals, who called it "the Fairy Wood," had their own reasons for wanting it cut down.
8. THE WHITE PEOPLE - ARTHUR MACHEN
Arthur Machen -- Blackwood's artistic and spiritual peer -- also shared a taste for exploring the euphoric terror of nature. Like Grimwood in "The Valley of the Beasts," the nameless narrator of "The White People" (a teenaged girl whose posthumous journal provides the majority of the plot) finds herself inextricably settled by and attracted to the strange beauty of her local wood. Her eccentric nursemaid told her stories of the "White People" (a euphemism for Celtic supernatural beings) and the mortal witches who met them in the Welsh woods since Roman times. One day she is drawn to go deeper into the forest than ever before and encounters what appears to be an alternate dimension: strange, wine-colored rivers, enormous trees, and boulders carved into leering statues populate this Alice-in-Wonderland realm where she finds herself being secretly and deliberately inducted into a secret society which has hidden itself in the wilderness -- one that transcends space, time, and matter -- one that needs a willing sacrifice.
6-7. YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN /
ROGER MALVIN'S BURIAL - NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE
Like Machen, Blackwood, and Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne had a taste for using the woods as an ideal setting to explore the metaphor of mankind's latent spiritualism and its dark unconscious. Most famously -- in a tale which prefigure's "The White People" -- he wrote "Young Goodman Brown," about a Puritan man in 17th century Salem who steals away into the woods to meet Satan, who appears to him in the guise of an old man. We never learn what it is that Brown wants, but during the course of their conversation, he is stunned to secretly witness the most upstanding members of Salem society slinking into a twilit clearing to participate in a depraved Black Mass (with implied child sacrifices). At the apex of his horror, he passes out and wakes up alone in the woods. Whether it is a dream or not, it has ruined his faith in humanity and he has (we can infer) received whatever secret knowledge it was he had desired.
In "Roger Malvin's Burial," a macabre tale set during a war with the Native Americans, a young soldier leaves his mortally wounded father-in-law to die alone in the woods with the promise to return when it is safer to decently burry him. As soon as he reaches safety, however, he goes back on his promise and forgets it -- until, years later, when he and his wife and child decide to become settlers and move out into the woods where they build a cabin -- not far from the site of the massive tree where he left his father-in-law to die. The ending is, of course, characteristically bitter and tragic.
5. THE THING IN THE FOREST - BERNARD CAPES
A simple, folksy tale set in Eastern Europe, Bernard Capes' "The Thing in the Forest" is, nonetheless, one of the most poetic and chilling werewolf stories in British literature (the French and Quebecois literary canons, however, are scattered with 'em). It is barely two pages long, but its dreamlike description of a beautiful peasant girl rushing through a snow-swept pine forest in hopes of reaching the church before she is devoured by the Thing that she knows is pursuing her from the shadows is strangely difficult to forget. To wit: "The soft drift, the lane of tall, motionless pines, stretched on in a quiet like death. Somewhere the sun, like a dead fire, had fallen into opalescent embers faintly luminous: they were enough only to touch the shadows with a ghastlier pallor. It was so still that the light crunch in the snow of the girl's own footfalls trod on her heart like a desecration." Solid stuff. The twist identity of the werewolf who has been stalking her makes her final moments that much more cruel.
4-3. THE BOARDED WINDOW /
THE SUITABLE SURROUNDINGS - AMBROSE BIERCE
While Blackwood favored the Canadian wilds, Machen the Welsh hill country, and Irving and Hawthorne the colonial era woodlands of New England, Ambrose Bierce had a taste for the murky tangles of the forests of the American midwest. Many of his stories took place in the gloomy, swampy woods of the Ohio River Valley and the broader Midwest. Among the most notable is "The Boarded Window," which tells, first, of how a hermit was found dead in his cabin, which has always had its sole window boarded up ever since his wife's death. Later, we learn of how she died: he throat torn out by a cougar as her husband listened to it in the darkness, terrified that she was rising from the dead, after having bound what he thought was her corpse and laid her out for burial. Unfortunately, she had merely fallen unconscious from a fever, but later revived -- in the jaws of the cougar.
Other stories such as "The Suitable Surroundings," where a man accepts a bet to read a horror story in a supposedly haunted house in the woods, and "The Eyes of the Panther," wherein a woman whose mother was mauled by a panther shortly before she was born moves out into the woods with her new husband, only to exhibit some rather chillingly feline behavior, have similarly Midwestern settings and darkly ironic endings.
2-1. THE WENDIGO / THE WILLOWS - ALGERNON BLACKWOOD
Blackwood's extensive experience as a woodsman made his wilderness stories especially potent and rich with autobiographical detail. In tales (which would have made this list were it twice as long) like "The Camp of the Dog," "A Haunted Island," and "Skeleton Lake," he weaves an experience rich in landscape and sensory detail that generate a chilling degree of authenticity. Both of these stories resulted from experiences of his -- hunting in the Canadian forests and canoeing down the willow-choked Danube, respectively.
The first story is perhaps the ultimate "campfire story" from the classic era of weird fiction. It describes how the narrator and his French Canadian guide journey far from camp on a snowy night, how his guide, Defago, becomes increasingly nervous about the superstitions of the Wendigo (a creature far more cosmic and shapeless than the traditional, Indigenous cryptid which possesses the bodies of those who have engaged in cannibalism). There are signs that the Wendigo -- a sort of "call of the wild" spirit which possesses its victims, causing them to flee society and forever run above the trees on the wings of the wind -- is about, and Defago becomes deeply anxious and depressed as they go to sleep in their tent. The narrator is woken up in the middle of the night by Defago's moaning and crying, and not long after he disappears, leaving horrifyingly long treads in the snow. When the traumatized hunter returns to the party, they head out to recover Defago's body, only to encounter the now puppet-like figure in what is one of the most eerie and tension-laced episodes in all of horror. The tale highlights the fear of reason, rationality, and civility being overwhelmed by impulse, whimsy, and madness – certainly not a trade-off that one would welcome miles away from food and shelter – and it remains one of the most gripping and shiver-inducing tales in the English language. Not to be read before camping (or to be read if you enjoy a sleepless bivouac).
"The Willows" is the pinnacle of Blackwood stories, and one of H. P. Lovecraft's absolute favorites is – like most of his tales – based on a real-life experience wherein Blackwood and a friend encountered a rotting corpse as they canoed down the loneliest stretch of the Danube. In this tale, two men follow their route, leaving Budapest and paddling into a swampy, shifting mess of sandbars, islets, and morphing channels dotted by willow bushes (don't picture the pleasant trees; these are creeping shrubs whose glinting wands grow twenty-feet or less in height). Several omens darken their stay as they land and set up camp on a dry sandbar, including a strange otter (or is it a dead body), a terrified peasant waving them down, and an overwhelming sense that they are being watched and resented by some force that lives in the willows. The two men endure a harrowing night as the shrubs seem to move, murmur, and grow around them, and after the narrator observes the theophany of supernatural beings twining in a column above the willows, the story grows darker and darker. Whatever they are – ghosts, gods, aliens, elementals, or monsters – the willows hate their guests, and are determined to destroy them for trespassing.

Greece's economy has not recovered in spite of government efforts to implement austerity measures in the last two years, causing dysfunction in the political sphere in Greece and across the world.
Can the United States Support Europe Further?
As Greece prepares for new elections, it contemplates its possible exit from the euro zone. The potential decision to leave has not only been brought on by the country's political dysfunction, but also by the downfall of its economy. The country is currently in the midst of one of its worst financial crises since 1974 when the government moved from military rule to a democracy. In 2011, Greece's public debt-to-GDP ratio was a 165.3%, the highest in the EU. Further, its overall unemployment rate has skyrocketed to over 21% and is over 50% for youth. This economic crisis led to Greece accepting a number of austerity measures in 2010 in exchange for a €110bn loan to decrease its national debt. While the national debt has gone down, the brutality of the austerity measures have negatively impacted the country, causing it to fall deeper into recession. In February 2012 Greece was offered a second bail out of €130bn in exchange for additional austerity measures. While it is bad enough that the austerity measures would likely keep the country in recession for at least another year, what is worse is that the bailout may still be insufficient to prevent Greece from defaulting on its national debt. Further, in an attempt to meet the demands imposed by the measures, Greece had to make several scheduled debt swaps that resulted in the country's credit rating falling from a C to RD. These austerity measures associated with the bailouts as well as the downfall of the economy led to several protests between 2010 and 2012 that included injury to over 100 police officers and dozens of citizens, and damage to property. Without additional bailout money, which requires acceptance of the austerity measures, Greece will likely default on its national debt and may be forced to leave the euro zone.
Greece's economic problems have not only hurt its economy, but have also caused dysfunction within its government. Prior to the economic downturn, the New Democracy and the Pan Hellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) held the majority of seats in Greece's parliament for the past 40 years. During the May elections it was clear that both New Democracy and PASOK supported Greece accepting bailouts from the EU. This not only angered Greek citizens, but also caused an upset in the May elections. Although New Democracy still obtained the majority of votes, PASOK came in third behind the radical left bloc Syriza that is vehemently opposed to accepting bailout money. Because an aligned New Democracy and PASOK did not have a controlling majority of parliament, and none of the other parties elected aligned to form a controlling majority, a second election is being held in June in the hopes of either electing a controlling majority or electing at least two parties who together align to form a controlling majority in parliament. Depending on which parties get elected and which parties form a controlling majority, there could be a major shift in the politics of Greece. The lack of clarity as to the direction in which Greece's politics may go has caused fear among investors and greater concern over Greece's economy.
The effects of Greece's economic downturn are being felt not only in Europe, but also across the global stage. In particular, the countries that use the euro as their currency are being heavily impacted by Greece's financial woes. This past weekend, members of the world's eight largest economies met to discuss ways to keep Europe's financial crisis from spiraling out of control and dragging with it the economies of other countries such as the US, which have slowly started to make positive economic gains. While there is talk that a decision by Greece to leave the euro zone would have less of an impact on the European countries now than was predicted two years ago when the country accepted it first bailout and set of austerity measures, it is clear that Europe, and the rest of the world, will not go unscathed if Greece decides to drop the euro and defaults on its national debt. It has been predicted that investors will sell European assets, making it more difficult for people to obtain credit. It will also be harder for other economically unstable countries, such as Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, to pull themselves out of recession. Because of globalization, countries are interconnected to one another and the downfall of one economy could heavily impact others.

Q: protobuf format for AWS sagemaker seq2seq I's starting to use seq2seq in the AWS sagemaker and have used their tutorial scripts for english to german translation example to transform the input text data into the required recordIO-protobuf format. However, when I open the data file supposed to be in the correct format, I just saw random symbols and some targets value are missings so I guess it's not outputting the file that I need. I wonder for data in recordIO-protobuf format, what does it look like?Many thanks.
I have tried to use a similar datasets they used in the example, which the output files for target and source also contained random symbols. I am so sure how to write the code to transform the text data into the required recordIO-protobuf format so I have been trying to use and understand the tutorial scrips. I was expecting the data file looks like binary instead of random symbols and the length should be much longer than what I am getting.

Explanation: If gamma-rays were raindrops a flare from a supermassive black hole might look like this. Not so gently falling on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope from June 14 to June 16 the gamma-ray photons, with energies up to 50 billion electron volts, originated in active galaxy 3C 279 some 5 billion light-years away. Each gamma-ray "drop" is an expanding circle in the timelapse visualization, the colour and maximum size determined by the gamma-ray's measured energy. Starting with a background drizzle, the sudden downpour that then trails off is the intense, high energy flare. The creative and calming presentation of the historically bright flare covers a 5 degree wide region of the gamma-ray sky centred on 3C 279.

Certain rare childhood cancers may be more common in children conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF), a U.S. study suggests, but parents needn't lose sleep over this finding, according to the researchers.
"For the few cancers that seemed associated with IVF the absolute risk was still extremely rare," said lead study author Logan Spector of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
The increased risk of cancer may be due at least in part to advanced maternal age and other health factors that lead women to try IVF in the first place, Spector and colleagues note in JAMA Pediatrics. While the results suggest it may make sense to be vigilant in monitoring IVF children for cancer, they don't mean couples shouldn't try to conceive this way, Spector said by email.
Spector's team examined data on 275,686 children conceived with IVF and 2.27 million kids conceived naturally from 2004 to 2013.
They tracked children for an average of about four and a half years, during which time 321 cancers were detected among children conceived by IVF and 2,042 cancers were detected among other kids. That translates to a rate of 0.1 percent among IVF kids and 0.09 percent among naturally-conceived kids.
Put another way, if researchers tracked one million children for a year, they would expect to see one of these rare cancers develop in about 252 children conceived by IVF and about 193 kids conceived naturally.
Specifically, kids conceived using IVF were 28 percent more likely than other children to be diagnosed with embryonal tumors, which develop from embryonic cells that remain in the body after birth. The increased risk of embryonal tumors was driven mostly by a higher rate of liver tumors. Kids conceived by IVF were more than twice as likely to have liver tumors than other children in the study.
Children conceived by IVF were also 41 percent more likely to develop embryonal tumors of the central nervous system, which occur when embryonic cells remain in the brain after birth.
So-called germ cell tumors, or malignancies in the reproductive tissue like the testicles or ovaries, were more than twice as common with IVF.
Overall, children conceived by IVF were 17 percent more likely to develop cancer.
The study wasn't a controlled experiment designed to prove whether or how IVF might directly cause cancer. Researchers also didn't compare outcomes of infertile couples who used IVF to other infertile couples, making it difficult to see how the causes of infertility might influence the potential for rare childhood cancers.
It's possible that cancer can be caused by chromosomal abnormalities, said Dr. Norbert Gleicher, medical director of the Center for Human Reproduction in New York City.

Ameyaw Debrah tells of struggle as he announces birth of son
By Attractive Mustapha in Showbiz December 27, 2017
The month of November was one that I was excited about; I was meant to visit Morocco for the first and then head off to the US to welcome my son, who was due on November 21.
So after my fun-packed tour of Casablanca, Marrakech and Agadir I got on a flight on November 19, and headed straight to New York. On arrival at JFK Airport, I made my way to New Jersey on a rather costly Uber trip to New Jersey ($163) but seeing my pregnant fiancée and ever-fun mother-in-law welcome me with such happiness was worth every cent!
I arrived at least two days ahead of the 'due date' so incase the baby decided to come early I would be there. On November 21 I went with my fiancée to see her gynecologist and soon we realized that we had miscalculated 'our due date'. Instead of Tuesday November 21, it was rather Friday, November 24 (plus or minus 14 days anyway!!!).
After the doctor performed some quick checks, he predicted the baby would come over the weekend or latest by Monday, November 27. Our families on hearing the news started guessing the day the baby would arrive, most hoped it would be Saturday (so he could be Kwame just like my late father) but I had a feeling, especially guided by what the doctor had said, that the baby would arrive on Monday.
Another thing I had miscalculated was the day for the finals of Miss Universe 2017, a program I had agreed to attend during my stay in the US. Initially I thought the finale was on Saturday, November 25 but found out last minute that it was rather Sunday, November 26. Now, I was faced with the dilemma of going to Las Vegas for Miss Universe, and possibly missing the birth of my son in New Jersey in the process.
After a last minute ticketing, my fiancée accompanied me to the Airport on Sunday morning and I left Jersey with a 6.20am American Airline flight. I made a connecting flight at Dallas, Texas and I arrived in Las Vegas around 12.40pm (local time). I got to my stunning hotel, The Cosmopolitan around just around 2pm, bathed and dressed up for the Miss Universe finale, which was starting at 4pm.
After dressing up, I quickly stepped down to the Wicked Spoon Buffet to grab something to eat. And at $49 there was so much good food to eat but I had to rush to meet up with Menaye Donkor (Country Director for Miss Universe Ghana), so we could go to Planet Hollywood for the show.
Well, the Miss Universe finale was fun and worth my journey because Ghana's Ruth Quarshie made the Top 16 cut. After the show I joined Menaye and Ruth for dinner before we headed to the Caesars Palace for a little Miss Universe after party.
When I returned to my hotel room I set up my alarm since I wanted to wake up early by 6 am to get ready for my 9.40 flight. I woke up in the morning and noticed some missed calls from my mother-in-law, and immediately I got worried. I called back and she told me my fiancée went into labour around 2am (New Jersey time), and she was in the hospital being monitored by doctors.
Now the fear of missing the birth of my son had become real. I started blaming myself for missing the big moment, which was my main reason for traveling to the U.S. I also read a text message from my aunt in Virginia, who was scolding me when she found out on social media that I had left for Vegas. So I told her that my fiancée was in labour before I went into the shower.
I dressed up to get ready for the airport in a confused state of happiness, expectation and guilt. I texted my fiancée to apologize for not being there during her labour and encouraged her to be strong during the process.
When I got to the Vegas airport I called my mother-in-law for updates and she explained that the doctors had put my fiancée on oxygen because she had a little fever but all was well. I got on the flight and when I got Charlotte, North Carolina airport around 4:53pm (local time), I called her again, and this time she said the baby had arrived, and my fiancée was fine too.
Now calm, I texted my aunt who was already scolding me for leaving my pregnant fiancée in the first place, that the baby and mother are doing well. I also sent a similar message to my mother on WhatsApp, and explained that I was at the airport heading to New Jersey.
I made my way to board my flight to New Jersey with plans of how to order flowers and balloons to congratulate my fiancée lingering on my mind. When I arrived in New Jersey around 8:30pm. I checked online if I could order any but I wasn't successful.
I called my mother-in-law to tell her I would pick an Uber home, so she didn't have to come pick me up. When I got home I could tell my mother-in-law was tied to take me to the hospital to see the baby and mother, so I tried to get as much information about the birth as possible.
She then opened up to tell me my fiancée has undergone a caesarian section a delayed childbirth. She served me so fruits and when I couldn't eat it like I usually do, she realized I wanted to go and see them at the hospital. She said and I remember clearly, "Yaw I know you can't sleep without seeing them, so you let's go!!!"
I was so expectant and happy when we got in the car. But when we arrived at my fiancée's ward, I saw her in tears. A nurse had just come to tell her the baby was in critical condition. We calmed her down and made our way to go see the baby and find out what was going on.
Although my mother-in-law in her earlier conversations with me on phone, mentioned that the baby had some stuff blocking his nose at birth, she made it seem it was nothing to worry about in order not to stress me up during my journey to New Jersey.
After going through security and getting a tag on my wrist as the daddy of the boy, we made our way to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the University Hospital to see baby Nathan for the first time.
I broke down and shed some tears seeing my son in so much discomfort with tubes running all over his body, and a machine shaking him up almost violently. This was not what I had imagined on my way to see him; and the sharp contrast just broke me down. But I knew I had to be strong for my fiancée and our baby, Nathan as the doctors updated me on the baby's condition.
Nathan was suffering from meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). MAS can happen before, during, or after labour and delivery when a newborn inhales a mixture of meconium (the early stool passed by a newborn soon after birth) and amniotic fluid (the fluid in which the baby floats inside the amniotic sac).
Nathan inhaled meconium, which blocked his airways. Although air could flow past the meconium as he breathed in, it was trapped in his airways when he breathed out. This made it difficult for him to breathe.
MAS can affect the baby in a number of ways, including chemical irritation to the lung tissue, airway obstruction by a meconium plug, infection, and the inactivation of surfactant by the meconium.
MAS is often related to fetal stress, as was the case of Nathan due to delayed birth. My fiancée had a long and difficult delivery until doctors finally decided to operate on her to bring the baby out. In the process, the baby became distressed resulting in hypoxia (decreased oxygen), which made his intestinal activity increase and cause relaxation of the anal sphincter. This relaxation then moved meconium into the amniotic fluid, which Nathan eventually inhaled.
Treatment for Nathan began right after delivery. The doctors inserted a laryngoscope into the trachea to remove any meconium. Several tests, such as a blood test that helps determine if the baby is getting enough oxygen and a chest X-ray that can show patches or streaks on the lungs that are found the baby, were conducted. And in fact the following days, more would be conducted.
After seeing Nathan and getting an insight into the issue we returned to my fiancée in the ward to give her more details and assure her that all would be well. Due to the long flight I had back to Jersey, my mother-in-law suggested that we go home and get some rest so we could come back in the morning.
The following day and indeed the rest of my stay in in New Jersey were spent in the hospital, hoping for positive response from baby Nathan and a speedy recovery and healing for my fiancée. Day in day out, my fiancée was getting stronger, and was able to go see Nathan in the NICU all by herself but Nathan's progress was not consistent.
Nathan's treatment included oxygen therapy, antibiotics to treat infection, nitric oxide inhalation, and frequent blood tests to see if he was getting enough oxygen. Since he had severe aspiration, he needed mechanical ventilation. An artificial surfactant was put into his lungs to help keep the air sacs open. He was also put on a special ventilator, which vibrated air enriched with extra oxygen into his lungs.
Nitric oxide was added to the oxygen in the ventilator, which dilated the blood vessels and allowed more blood flow and oxygen to reach Nathan's lungs.
After going through these treatments for days, we were given more distressful news when the doctors said Nathan was not responding as expected, and there was the need to explore a higher intervention at the Beth Israel Hospital. The doctor said there might be the need for Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), a form of cardiopulmonary bypass, meaning that an artificial heart and lung will temporarily take over to supply blood flow in Nathan's body.
ECMO lowers the fatality rate for these severely distressed babies from 80% to 10%. The University Hospital was not an ECMO center, so we signed a consent form to transfer our baby. So Nathan was transferred to the Beth Israel Hospital.
The transfer brought the whole family more worries, and our prayers heightened every step of the way. When Nathan arrived at Beth Israel, he was not placed on ECMO immediately; he was placed on an advanced ventilator to see how he responded before possibly going through ECMO.
In the first 48-hours, the doctors were happy with how he was responding and so decided to keep him on the ventilator for more observation. And just like the miracle we all prayed for, each day Nathan showed slight improvements.
Sadly due to some responsibilities in Ghana, I was soon faced with the dilemma of leaving while Nathan was still at the hospital but I cheered myself up with the slow progress he was making, and the fact that he would not need ECMO.
In fact before I left for Ghana, Nathan had been taken off the antibiotics and the levels of his intake of oxygen and nitric oxide had been dropped. Before leaving, we requested for the NICU email updates so on a daily basis I could know how Nathan was faring.
In God's perfect timing, I spent my last day with Nathan at a period when he was now good enough to be touched. In the first two weeks, he required heavy sedation so we were not allowed to do anything that could excite him too much, since he had many tubes and wires attached to him; and of course, the risk of complications with infections.
So I rubbed some hand sanitizer in my palms and finally touched Nathan for the first time. I played with him before and as if he could hear my jokes, he squeezed my finger that I placed in his palm. I left New Jersey for New York later that evening to catch my flight back to Ghana the following morning.
When I got to Ghana, the news of progress continued; each day I would get an email from the NICU on Nathan. Each day either one tube was removed or his dependence on some medication had reduced. My fiancée kept me up to date with photos, videos and at some stage the NICU even allowed us to do video calls.
Nathan was soon taken off the ventilator completely and put into a small incubator; and later he made his way into a baby court with the only tube attached to him being one for taking in breast milk. And as he made more progress with feeding from a bottle and eventually directly from his mum's breast, we wondered if Nathan would be strong enough to come home before Christmas.
In the early hours of December 24 (Ghana Time), that answer came; and it was positive. I watched with joy and excitement via WhatsApp video call, as his mother and grandmother cheerfully dressed him up and carried him from the NICU home.
Yes, we finally got Nathan home to his crib that has been waiting for him for four weeks after his birth, and just in time to bring us some real Christmas cheer. If ever we had a Christmas wish, this was it!
Welcome home Nathan, mum, dad and the whole family loves you!

Uttar Pradesh adopts the controversial CAA despite protests across India
Uttar Pradesh becomes the first state in India to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act. The state has ordered to track the migrants from other countries.
Government has been seeing a number of protests across the country ever since it announced the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The bill that amends the pre-existing Citizenship bill benefits Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Christian and Parsi refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh who sought shelter in India before 2015 in getting Indian citizenship. Students took to the roads to show the government their disagreement with the bill. However, the state of Uttar Pradesh led by Yogi Adityanath has implemented the CAA despite severe protests across India.
The state has ordered the magistrates to track the migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh settled in the state for a decade. The migrants from where are mostly found in Lucknow, Hapur, Rampur, Shahjahanpur, Noida and Ghaziabad. Once tracked, the ones without proper documentation will be deported back to the country.
While Uttar Pradesh has given a green light to the bill, Kerala has gone ahead and passed its anti-CAA resolution as a protest to the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Matt Amodio tops James Holzhauer's winning streak on 'Jeopardy!'
Milestone win: Matt Amodio, who became the third contestant on "Jeopardy!" to top $1 million in winnings last week, moved into second place in all-time wins with his 33rd straight victory on Friday. (Jeopardy Productions Inc. via AP)
October 02, 2021 at 8:31 am EDT
By Bob D'Angelo, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
Matt Amodio passed another milestone on "Jeopardy!"
The reigning champion on the popular television quiz show won his 33rd consecutive game on Friday, passing James Holzhauer to move into second place on the all-time list, The New York Times reported.
Amodio, 30, a Yale Ph.D. student in computer science, now trails only Ken Jennings, who won 74 straight games in 2004.
I've heard when #Jeopardy updates the official record books tomorrow, there'll be a significant change that will make me feel very good about my accomplishments: pic.twitter.com/9BzxDA66yR
— Matt Amodio (@AmodioMatt) October 2, 2021
Last week, Amodio, from Medina, Ohio, became only the third person to top $1 million in nontournament winnings.
Amodio's victory brought him to $1.267,801 million, but he has a long way to go to become No. 1 in overall earnings. Jennings won $2,520,700 and Holzhauer, a Las Vegas professional sports bettor, took home $2,462,216 in 2019.
On Friday, host Mayim Bialik noted the potential milestone before starting the game, telling the audience, "Will it be Matt celebrating this weekend, or one of our new challengers?"
Amodio, a fifth-year student at Yale, researches artificial intelligence. He said that he has been watching "Jeopardy!" since before he was "even able to understand the words," according to a profile in Yale's School of Engineering & Applied Science.
>> Matt Amodio becomes third player on 'Jeopardy!' to top $1M in winnings
Because the game show is taped ahead of time, Amodio and Bialik already knew what was going to happen.
On Friday, Amodio faced two other graduate students, USA Today reported: Thomas Dai, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Samantha Wells of Urbana, Illinois. Amodio led by $10,400 after the first round and had $35,400 entering the Final Jeopardy round, the newspaper reported. That was three times as much as Wells, who was runner-up heading into the final question.
Amodio bet $20,000 in Final Jeopardy and correctly answered the question: "The April 26, 1906 edition of The Call, a newspaper in this city, reported on the heroic death of hoseman James O'Neil." The answer was San Francisco, and Amodio, the only one of three contestants to correctly answer the question, brought his daily earnings to $55,400, USA Today reported.
Amodio said in a news release that it was "surreal" to be beside Jennings in the hall of fame, the Times reported. On Twitter, Amodio wrote that Holzhauer is better than him "in literally every way."
Tomorrow on #Jeopardy I have the chance to remind everybody how much better than me @James_Holzhauer is in literally every way
It would be an honor to be unfavorably compared to a person I admire so much!
— Matt Amodio (@AmodioMatt) September 30, 2021
"Ken's always been the face of 'Jeopardy!' to me, so when I think of 'Jeopardy!', I think of him," Amodio said in the release. "To (be) right behind him is a surreal experience."
Holzhauer congratulated Amodio, using a sports betting analogy to put the milestone in perspective.
"It's like hitting a 33-game parlay in sports betting, and there's a reason you never see anyone do that," Holzhauer told the Las Vegas Review-Journal via email. "Something or someone always trips you up eventually."
Holzhauer made a similar comment on Twitter, noting that it was the first time he had ever seen anyone "hit a 33-game parlay."
I've been betting sports since 2005 and this is the first time I've seen anyone hit a 33 game parlay. Congrats @AmodioMatt!

I'm a fan of this one and the team. Strong work and exciting.
This is awesome! Love it. However, I'm not sure they are parsing indirect objects correctly. When I type "Give me the hamburger", it is not identifying "me" as the indirect object.
Great fun with this one! I could see this as an educational tool for ESL as well.

With the lengthy collaborative history that these two have, the news shouldn't shock many, but in a recent interview with SPIN, Big Boi confirmed that he and Killer Mike have a joint EP in the works.
Big Boi says the project will likely come out after his follow up to 2012's Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors is released. "We've been entertaining the idea for a long time and finally got enough songs to where we just said the other night that we're gonna do it," he says of his pending project with Killer Mike.
The joint EP is interesting, considering they're in their own respective groups. Big being 1/2 of Outkast, and Killer Mike 1/2 of Run The Jewels with El-P. The two have appeared on multiple tracks together over the years, including Outkast's Grammy winning single "The Whole World." As for Big Boi's next solo outing, he says it's halfway done, adding it's "some of my best work to date. I think it's going to shock a lot of people." Read the full interview here.


How Is Drama In The Office Viewed by Managers?
How is drama in the office viewed by managers and the senior level executives?
Hi! Joan Burge here, welcome to this weeks' Reality Check. I hope you're hanging in there and I hope you're not offended by what I say because that's not the motive of this video series. I'm sharing with you again the real questions and answers. It's not sugar coated. I hope you're going to take this the way it was intended because it's really here to help and educate you.
Today what I'd like to talk about is those assistants who won't stop the drama. I've spoken to a lot of assistants who just want to know why the other assistant just won't stop. I'm sure you know what that's all about right? I don't know where that comes from and basically the drama is maybe there's two assistants working on the same project together and it's a little more of a power struggle of who has the upper hand. Or maybe we have an assistant who works for the senior vice president and one who works for the vice president and one assistant feels they should have more say then the other. It could even be some of the little petty things that go on in an office that cause the drama and there is no real cause for it.
The point is, it doesn't look good. It doesn't sit well when there's drama between two assistants. I've had executives, human resources managers, senior executives, and vice presidents who've talked to me behind the scene and have expressed to me what they see (because they do see it) and basically what they say is our assistants need to stop this and how they've never seen anything like this before.
So, if we want to elevate the administrative profession, if we want executives and people in general to take this profession seriously, then we have to stop with the drama. Put your best foot forward and show the quality that you can really bring to the table and how you can bring 'win-win' situations to you and your peers.

Senate and CIA spar over secret report on torture
The New York Times reports: The chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee says she is planning a push to declassify hundreds of pages of a secret committee report that accuses the Central Intelligence Agency of misleading Congress and the White House about the agency's detention and interrogation program, which is now defunct.
The 6,000-page report, which took years to complete and cost more than $40 million, is the only detailed account to date of a program that set off a national debate about torture. The report has been the subject of a fierce partisan fight and a vigorous effort by the C.I.A. to challenge its conclusions, and last month, the agency's director, John O. Brennan, delivered a lengthy rebuttal to the report to committee leaders.
But the committee's chairwoman, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, said in a statement this week that the report was on "firm ground" and that she planned to ask the White House and C.I.A. to declassify its 300-page executive summary after "making any factual changes to our report that are warranted after the C.I.A.'s response."
The committee's top Republican, Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, said he believed the report was deeply flawed and agreed with the intelligence agency's critique. But he said he believed that a summary of the report could be made public, as long as it was accompanied by a summary of the agency's response and a dissenting statement from committee Republicans.
The clash over the report is, at its core, a fight over who writes the history of what is perhaps the most bitterly disputed part of the American government's response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. More than four years have passed since the C.I.A. closed its secret prisons, and nearly a decade since agency interrogators subjected Qaeda detainees to the most brutal interrogation methods, including the near-drowning technique known as waterboarding.

Fluff, B.S., official disinformation. What difference does it make? We will never know the truth, especially from the congress regardless of which side of the aisle the information comes from. These very same people are the ones who have handed the administrative branch carte blanche in what ever it wants to do.

It didn't surprise me to read that Seamus Kevin Fahey is a writer for tv shows, because I often found myself thinking while reading Cutter that it felt almost like a storyboard. You can see how the scenes would be shot if it were to be translated into film – an effect reinforced by the sketch-like illustrations done by Christian DiBari (and Mann House, in Issue #4).
In a lot of ways the story follows a horror movie-like path, too. Obviously the limited number of issues played a part in this, but beyond even that there's a certain flow to the story – a familiarity to the timing of certain actions and revelations, etc. – that, again, could easily be translated into a filmed format.
In some ways this familiarity is almost comforting, as even while you might know the details of what's coming, you can at least get a sense of the shape of the story to come – and this isn't always true of comics (for bad or good, depending). On the other hand, familiar doesn't always mean enjoyable – and there are certain moments in the story that don't quite make as much sense as they could/should; and some explanations seem a bit too truncated, due to the limited space available to tell the story.
Still, it ain't a bad little series. I can see why Image Comics released it over the month of October; it makes a perfect Halloween-time comic.

The Audi allroad quattro and Audi A6 allroad quattro are mid-size estate/ station wagon executive cars, produced by German automaker Audi since 1999. Based on the Audi A6 Avant, the A6 allroad quattro remains in production for Europe, but not for North America as of December, 2008.
Used AUDI Allroad
The first generation allroad shares its platform with the second generation "C5" Audi A6 mid-size car / executive car and its rear end is almost identical to the A6 Avant, the station wagon version. The main differences are an advanced air suspension system, larger wheels with all-terrain tires and flared and unpainted bumpers, giving it a distinct appearance and more overall flexibility over varying terrain. Audi's Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheel drive system is standard equipment for all versions. It is believed that Audi introduced the allroad due to the success of the Subaru Outback,[citation needed] however on a larger platform and with a larger, more powerful engine.
Off-road capabilities
The allroad was designed with the capability to tackle rough road conditions in mind; its standard adjustable air suspension system can lift the car high enough to provide 208mm (8in) of ground clearance and a low-range mode, absent from other quattro-equipped vehicles, can be selected with the touch of a button. When used in conjunction, the two systems made it possible for the allroad to complete an official Land Rover test-course, thus far it is the only car-based SUV that has been proven capable of doing so in testing.

Q: Apply multiple conditional classes in Vue.js I used style binding in Vue in this way:
v-bind:style="{'width': + width + 'px', 'left': + x + 'px', 'top': y + 'px'}"

When I required to bind multiple conditional classes, I used below syntax but it won't work!
v-bind:class="{(position)?position:'', (direction)?direction:''}"

Is there other way to apply multiple classes? Single class(without {}) works.
Here is the fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/kunjsharma/o0kL7myt/

A: The object based syntax for class definition is:
{
    className: isEnabled,
    anotherName: isOtherEnabled,
}

where the key (className) is the name of the class and the value (isEnabled) is whether it is enabled or not.
So in your case you might need { position: position, direction: direction }. You could even let javascript infer the key names for you { position, direction }.
If you instead want to set the class-name to be the value of the position and direction properties then you should instead use the array syntax: [position, direction]. You can also achieve this with the class syntax like so: { [position]: true, [direction]: true }

A: There are 2 syntaxes you can use:

*

*Object: :class="{ position, direction }"

*Array: :class="[position ? 'position' : '', direction ? 'direction' : '']"
You can also make :class a string, but that's messy when you want to use conditionals for multiple classes. You could also do a computed property:
computed: {
  myClass: function() {
    return [position ? 'position' : '', direction ? 'direction' : ''].filter(c => !!c).join('');
  }
}

See Conditional Classes in Vue for more examples.

A: The class binding expression in your template is invalid JavaScript syntax.
Did you mean to bind an array like this:
:class="[position, direction]"

So if position is 'right' and direction is 'rtl' then the element will have the classes right and rtl applied to it.
Binding an object is usually used when you have static class names that you want to apply conditionally based on some condition. Looking at your code, it doesn't seem like this is what you want to do.
For example, if you want to conditionally apply the static classes pressed and active based on some conditions, you can do this:
:class="{ pressed: pressedElement === el, active: !hidden }"

If pressedElement === el is true then the element will get the pressed class applied to it, likewise for active (I just made up some arbitrary expressions).
