BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS IDENTIFIED IN SARGENT COUNTY BEEF HERD
<< All News Friday, January 18, 2019
BISMARCK – State veterinarians are investigating a beef herd in Sargent County after bovine tuberculosis (TB) was identified.
"In late 2018, we were notified that two adult beef cows originating from the herd tested positive for Mycobacterium bovis at out-of-state slaughter plants," State Veterinarian Dr. Susan Keller said. "The National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, confirmed the TB diagnosis in the cows."
The herd was subsequently tested by state and federal veterinarians and five additional cows have been confirmed affected. Additional testing is ongoing.
This strain of TB has not been previously identified in the United States and is most similar to cases that have been identified in Mexican cattle.
Tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease and can be transmitted from animals to humans and from humans to animals.
"An epidemiologic investigation is now underway, and further testing will be done to determine the source of the disease and to prevent its spread," Keller said. "The herd owners are fully cooperating in the investigation."
There are no other cattle herds which have direct contact with this herd. Animals which test negative for the disease may move direct to slaughter, but other movements are not allowed. Meat from animals that pass inspection is safe for consumption.
Keller said that the bovine tuberculosis eradication program is a state-federal cooperative program and that the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and State Board of Animal Health typically work with USDA-APHIS Veterinary Services on disease responses. Due to the federal government shutdown, federal funding and field staff are currently limited in their ability to assist.

Thomas Newcomen
Animation of a schematic Newcomen steam engine.
– Steam is shown pink and water is blue.
– Valves move from open (green) to closed (red)
Thomas Newcomen (February 1664 – 5 August 1729) was an English inventor.[1] He made the first practical steam engine for pumping water, the Newcomen steam engine.
Newcomen was an ironmonger and a Baptist lay preacher. He was born in Dartmouth, Devon, England, to a merchant family and baptised at St. Saviour's Church on 24 February 1664.
Flooding in coal and tin mines was a large problem. Newcomen was trying to improve ways to pump out the water from the mines. His ironmonger's business specialised in tools for the mining industry.
His first engine was not very efficient, and used a lot of coal. The Watt steam engine, was much more fuel efficient. Watt and his partner Matthew Boulton got substantial royalties because their machines saved so much on fuel bills.
Surviving Newcomen engines[change | change source]
There are examples of Newcomen engines in the Science Museum (London) and the Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan.[2]
Perhaps the last Newcomen-style engine to be used commercially – and the last still on its original site – is at the Elsecar Heritage Centre, near Barnsley in South Yorkshire. Newcomen engines that can be seen working are the Newcomen Memorial Engine at Dartmouth and the replica engine at the Black Country Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.

Certain categories of workers more likely to suffer fatalities
On Behalf of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law | Dec 27, 2018 | Workers' Compensation
Laws creating standards for worker safety were at one time non-existent in the U.S. Beginning in the closing years of the 19th century a handful of states began establishing protections for certain workers in specific industries, and the first federal laws addressing the subject were passed in the early 20th century. But it was not until 1970 that the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act was enacted with a stated goal of improving workplace safety and health for all workers in New Jersey and across America. Despite OSHA's immersion in every sector of the workplace, some disturbing safety statistics are being reported.
An increase in the number of workplace fatalities over previous years is being seen, according to an AFL-CIO report. When the totals for those workers who die each day from a particular hazard is combined with those who die from occupational disease due to prolonged exposure to toxins, more American workers are dying each day. While it has long been true that certain types of jobs pose greater risks to workers, recent statistics indicate certain categories of workers are at greater risk of fatality.
For instance, the agricultural, forestry, fishing and hunting sector historically has been a dangerous field to work in. Construction workers and miners also have consistently high accident and fatality rates. But there seems to be little explanation for the findings that older workers as well as Latino workers have statistically higher risks of dying at work than the national average.
Workers' compensation benefits may be available to those who have been injured in workplace accidents. A violation of OSHA standards may or may not be relevant in the investigation of the matter. Either way, a workers' compensation lawyer can be instrumental in protecting a worker's rights.

Essex, Robert Devereux, 2d earl of
Essex, Robert Devereux, 2d earl of dĕv´əro͞oks˝, –ro͞o˝, –rĕks˝ [key], 1567–1601, English courtier and favorite of Queen Elizabeth I. Succeeding to the earldom on the death (1576) of his father, he came under the guardianship of Lord Burghley and soon won favor at court. He distinguished himself in action while serving (1585–86) as a cavalry officer in the Netherlands under his stepfather, Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester.
When he returned to England he soon became a marked favorite of the queen, a position that involved him in a quarrelsome rivalry with Sir Walter Raleigh. In 1590 he angered the queen by secretly marrying the widow of Sir Philip Sidney. The following year he commanded a flamboyant but unsuccessful expedition to Normandy to help Henry of Navarre (Henry IV of France). He returned home and, advised by Francis Bacon, entered politics in an effort to seize power from the aging Burghley. But Essex was too obvious and impetuous in his demands on the queen; Elizabeth was wary, and gradually she conferred the power he sought on Burghley's son, Robert Cecil (later earl of Salisbury).
Essex became a national hero when he shared command of the expedition that captured Cádiz in 1596, but he failed the next year in an expedition to intercept the Spanish treasure fleet off the Azores. In 1599, at his own demand, he was made lord lieutenant of Ireland and sent there with a large force to quell the rebellion of the earl of Tyrone. Failing completely to accomplish his mission, he made an unauthorized truce with Tyrone and returned to England. He was confined by the council, and it was eight months before he was tried for disobedience by a special council and deprived of his offices (1600). He was soon released but was banned from the court.
Still popular, Essex planned a coup that would oust the enemy party and establish his own about the queen. To this end he sought support from the army in Ireland and opened negotiations with James VI in Scotland, but these efforts failed. Desperately, he made his attempt with a small body of personal followers on Feb. 8, 1601. The Londoners failed to respond, the queen's government was thoroughly prepared, and he was arrested. At the trial Bacon contributed heavily to his former patron's conviction. Elizabeth, after some hesitation, signed the death warrant, and Essex was executed.

How We Bought Into the 'Epidemic of Pain'
Posted on September 21, 2016 by Soren Dreier
Author: Epoch
For more than a decade, members of a little-known group called the Pain Care Forum have blanketed Washington with messages touting prescription painkillers' vital role in the lives of millions of Americans, creating an echo chamber that has quietly derailed efforts to curb U.S. consumption of the drugs, which accounts for two-thirds of the world's usage.
In 2012, drugmakers and their affiliates in the forum sent a letter to U.S. senators promoting a hearing about an influential report on a "crisis of epidemic proportions": pain in America. Few knew the report stemmed from legislation drafted and pushed by forum members and that their experts had helped author it. The report estimated that more than 100 million Americans—roughly 40 percent of adults—suffered from chronic pain, an eye-popping statistic that some researchers call deeply problematic.
Deaths linked to addictive drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, and Percocet had increased more than fourfold since 1999, accounting for more fatal overdoses in 2012 than heroin and cocaine combined.
The letter made no reference to another health issue that had been declared an epidemic by federal authorities: drug overdoses tied to prescription painkillers. Deaths linked to addictive drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, and Percocet had increased more than fourfold since 1999, accounting for more fatal overdoses in 2012 than heroin and cocaine combined.
An investigation by The Associated Press and The Center for Public Integrity reveals that similar feedback loops of information and influence play out regularly in the nation's capital, fueled by money and talking points from the Pain Care Forum, a loose coalition of drugmakers, trade groups, and dozens of nonprofits supported by industry funding that has flown under the radar until now.
EET_video_in_article_banner
Hundreds of internal documents shed new light on how drugmakers and their allies shaped the national response to the ongoing wave of prescription opioid abuse, which has claimed the lives of roughly 165,000 Americans since 2000, according to federal estimates.
Painkillers are among the most widely prescribed medications in the United States, but pharmaceutical companies and allied groups have a multitude of legislative interests beyond those drugs. From 2006 through 2015, participants in the Pain Care Forum spent over $740 million lobbying in the nation's capital and in all 50 statehouses on an array of issues, including opioid-related measures, according to an analysis of lobbying filings by The Center for Public Integrity and AP.
The same organizations reinforced their influence with more than $140 million doled out to political campaigns, including more than $75 million alone to federal candidates, political action committees, and parties.
That combined spending on lobbying and campaigns amounts to more than 200 times the $4 million spent during the same period by the handful of groups that work for restrictions on painkillers. Meanwhile, opioid sales reached $9.6 billion last year, according to IMS Health, a health information company.
"You can go a long, long way in getting what you want when you have a lot of money," said professor Keith Humphreys of Stanford University, a former adviser on drug policy under President Barack Obama. "And it's only when things get so disastrous that finally there's enough popular will aroused to push back."
Obama gave his first speech on the opioid epidemic last fall. In July, Congress passed its first legislation targeting the crisis, an election-year package intended to expand access to addiction treatment. But the law includes little new funding and no restrictions on painkillers, such as mandatory training for prescribers, a step favored by federal advisory panels.
Obama administration officials say they have tried to strike a balance between controlling the harms of opioids and keeping them available for patients.
"We did not want to deny people access to appropriate pain care," said Michael Botticelli, Obama's drug czar. "We were all trying to figure out what the balance was, and that's still the case going forward."
Painkillers are modern versions of ancient medicines derived from the opium poppy, also the source of heroin.
Painkillers are modern versions of ancient medicines derived from the opium poppy, also the source of heroin. Prescription opioids were long reserved for the most severe forms of pain associated with surgery, injury, or terminal diseases like cancer.
That changed in the 1990s with a surge in prescribing for more common ailments like back pain, arthritis, and headaches. A combination of factors fueled the trend, including new medical guidelines, insurance policies, and pharmaceutical marketing for long-acting drugs like OxyContin.
The drug's manufacturer, Purdue Pharma, pleaded guilty and agreed to pay more than $600 million in fines in 2007 for misleading the public about the risks of OxyContin. But the drug continued to rack up blockbuster sales, generating more than $22 billion over the last decade.
Despite having no physical address or online presence, the Pain Care Forum hosts high-ranking officials from the White House, Food and Drug Administration, and other agencies at its monthly gatherings.
Purdue's Washington lobbyist, Burt Rosen, co-founded the forum more than a decade ago and coordinates the group's meetings, which include dozens of lobbyists and executives.
Purdue declined to make Rosen available for interviews and did not answer specific questions about its lobbying activities or financial support for forum participants. Purdue said it supports a range of advocacy groups, including some with differing views on opioids.
"In practice and governance, the Pain Care Forum is like any of the hundreds of policy coalitions in Washington and throughout the nation," the company said in a statement, adding: "Purdue complies with all applicable lobbying disclosure laws and requirements."
While Purdue, Endo Pharmaceuticals, and other members have maintained that the forum does not take policy positions, the AP and Center for Public Integrity's reporting shows the group's participants have worked together to push and draft federal legislation, blunt regulations, and influence decisions around opioids.
Opioid drugmakers say they are striving to improve the safety of their products and how they are used. They point to new harder-to-crush pills and initiatives that, among other things, allow states to share databases designed to spot "doctor shopping" by patients.
Elsewhere, experts are re-evaluating the effectiveness of opioids for most forms of chronic pain, noting little long-term research.
"The biggest myth out there is that there's a conflict between reducing our dependence on opioids and improving care for patients in pain," said Dr. Caleb Alexander, co-director of Johns Hopkins University's Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness. "It's an artificial conflict, but there are lots of vested interests behind it."

The pressure is on telecom service providers to deploy video in many forms sooner, faster and better than their competitors. Have a look at SearchTelecom.com's newest guide for a look at what's driving IP video, how to turn the dream into revenue, and how to best ready your infrastructure.
Video delivery, content network, IPTV, triple play — these are just a few of the terms used today for video over broadband data networks. To learn more about this service we suggest you hop over to this website. This concept of video networks is an increasing challenge, and like most network challenges, this one is influenced by technology, business and regulatory factors.
Video poses three major challenges to network planners and operators. First, video is bandwidth hungry as an application. A video file is huge in comparison with almost any other type of information carried over a network. Second, streaming video requires real-time consistent network performance. Most broadband applications are highly tolerant of variations in delay and packet loss, but video is often totally corrupted by even a small variation in delay, and any significant packet loss can destroy the viewing experience. Finally, video is perceived by the user to be a continuous long-term experience, and if any significant portion goes badly, complaints and demands for refunds will result. Unlike a lost call or a bad connection in voice, which users repair simply by redialing, a video connection is a commitment on both parties, and any failure is almost certain to create negative customer reaction.
These factors influence all video networks, but the degree of impact depends on the video model. There are three broadband video service models. Broadcast video models replicate the behavior of a cable system, offering a customer multi-channel viewing. Video on demand (VoD) models allow the customer to stream video in real time, but the video and the viewing time are selected by the customer. The "store for play" model (download model) allows the customer to load the video onto a local disk for viewing.
All video networks start with the same customer, so the first step in understanding video network design is to understand where the networks stop — what the content source will be. General practice today is to cache content in each major metro area, and this is most likely to be done for the broadcast or streaming VoD models. Local caching eliminates the performance variability that is introduced by Internet transport or core peering relationships, and most video programming popular enough to be profitable will probably be consumed enough in a metro area to justify the cost of local storage. This means that most video networks will be metro networks.
Many individuals prefer to wager on aggressive sports activities and due to on-line playing, an increasing number of individuals in the present day are putting bets on the video games. Inserting a wager has by no means been simpler. Please learn on to search out out concerning the methods through which the consultants enhance their winnings by the use of on-line betting.
Not that way back, lots of gamblers had to make use of a "bookie" to have the ability to place a wager. Clearly, bookies weren't continually dependable and could not be out there 24/7. The benefit of accessibility and availability of the net has now completely modified sports activities wagering.
At this time it is doable to wager on virtually something. Not solely that, however the typical sports activities wagerer has obtained extra fascinating odds when making wagers on-line. Inserting sports activities bets on-line has a number of benefit 토토사이트s.
So, now the query in everybody's ideas… How do the professionals make their funds on-line?
A large number of skilled on-line bettors get began by looking for essentially the most valued place for his or her cash, in a lot the identical precise method that professional inventory brokers would search out useful shares. They purpose to search out nice odds which might be "off" by a bit and can be worthwhile long-term.
Leave a comment on Prime 10 Upperbody Calisthenics to Get You Trying Jacked!
I like body weight coaching, and for my part, is among the BEST methods to pack on muscle. However most individuals over look it, pondering that its too fundamental or as a result of they're simply utilizing their body weight that they are not constructing a TON of muscle. Nicely, I received information for these folks – a few of the finest upperbodies on the planet have been developed by means of body weight solely coaching – not simply gymnasts, however many wrestlers and fight athletes nonetheless practice "old fashioned" and have the look to show it.
Whereas I usually incorporate many of those variations inside my major coaching periods, I additionally like to do brief, "mini-workouts" all through the week and body weight coaching is a good way to get these to assist pack on muscle. 1-2 of those extremely abbreviated exercises every week can do wonders in your progress, and the nice half is that there isn't any actual "pondering" concerned. Simply go forward and practice laborious for five,10 or 15 minutes and name it a day. Too many individuals plan each little element of their program, ensuring to have a whole dynamic heat up earlier than they even wipe their a$$, by no means leaving any respiratory room or time to have some enjoyable (and thats what its all about is not it?) Obstacle Course Set – Bars, Fists, Gymnastics Rings B07KDVR2W9.
So listed below are my FAVORITE body weight upperbody actions. You have to a chin bar, and a pair of blast straps from Elitefts or gymnastic rings…however actually, tow straps will work simply tremendous (be inventive!).
1. Chin Ups and Pull Ups. Every kind and all several types of grips. Nothing says robust like a robust again and tremendous robust pulling muscle groups.
2. Parallel Bar or Ring Dips. If Chins are the upperbody deadlift, then dips are the upperbody squat. For large chest, shoulders and triceps, dips are an superior motion.
three. Push Up Variations. Every kind, with blast straps, ft inclined, whatver. Push Ups may be accomplished anytime, wherever and there is all the time methods to make them more durable.

Is This Turkey Really Worth $1 Billion?
Is it completely nuts to spend $1 billion—that's one billion dollars—on Thanksgiving turkey?
That's how much this coveted holiday bird is going to cost this year. Actually Americans are shelling out even more than that, $1.05 billion, on turkeys this year, not including the trimmings. That's the total that the personal-finance site Finder.com tallied up for 2016. That whopping number equals around 45 million turkeys, consumed by more than 276 million Americans, according to the National Turkey Federation.
Not to be party-poopers, since we do love a festive bird, but so many other fancy-fowl options taste way, way better. Why aren't we spending $1 billion on those?
There's an obvious one-word answer: tradition. But this is an excellent time to remember Bon Appetit's article from a few years ago, which put the issue in these terms: "Thanksgiving is the one day of the year that the typically sane cooks of America do irrational things. They buy upwards of 20 pounds of the driest, least flavorful, most awkwardly shaped animal protein known to man. They do backflips brining, frying, spicing, saucing—anything—to try to make turkey more flavorful than it was born to be. There are legions more celebratory, more inherently delicious proteins that can knock the turkey off its platter," wrote Bon Appetit's Hugh Garvey.

"It is just as easy to roast as a chicken, but tastes immeasurably better," wrote chef David Tanis in the New York Times, calling guinea hen "the deeply flavored fowl that most Americans haven't even tasted. " Plan ahead and you can have the hen shipped to your home in time for the holiday. Joyce Farms sells guinea hen as part of a trio of gorgeous birds fit for a feast (pictured above), along with white pheasant and Poulet Rouge chicken. Tanis has a fabulous recipe for roast guinea hen that's worth making at least sometime this holiday season, if you're hell-bent on turkey for Thanksgiving.
The tradition of hunting and cooking this coveted bird runs deep in France, but wood pigeon is having a trend moment too, as the New York Times reported last week. The gamey-yet-delicate bird will amp up the excitement level at your holiday table if you have the nerve to try it, and you should: Here's a mouthwateringly rustic recipe inspired by the great chef Fergus Henderson. You can order wood pigeon from sources like D'Artagnan.
Rich, succulent meat makes duck a serious treat any time of year. "With just a few hours' roasting and hardly any work at all, you can have a juicy bird with crisp skin—the best of both textures," according to Epicurious, which offers this recipe for whole duck with plum applesauce. D'Artagnan or Maple Leaf Farms are two sources that will ship you a whole duck in time for the holiday. Plunk one of these birds on the Thanksgiving table, and any of your guests who prefer delicious food over predictable routine will be secretly—or very loudly—grateful.

Q: software to compute the degree of the splitting field of a polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ I want to do some experiments regarding the degree of the splitting field $\mathbb{Q}$ of a certain class of polynomials in $\mathbb{Q}[T]$. Is there some software that is able to compute the (degree of the) splitting field of a given such polynomial? Are there for example macaulay2 packages or is it implemented in mathematica, maple etc.?

A: SageMath can do this. It's free. One can even try it out online.
An example from their documentation:
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage: K.<a> = (x^3 + 2).splitting_field(); K
Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^6 + 3*x^5 + 6*x^4 + 11*x^3 + 12*x^2 - 3*x + 1

"Did you get a makeover… or something?" Netflix has debuted an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Juanita, from actor / director Clark Johnson. This hasn't shown at any film festival, but they're releasing it straight to Netflix early next month. Fed up with her life, Juanita leaves her grown kids behind and hits the road headed towards Montana in search of a fresh start. Alfre Woodard (from "Memphis Beat", "Empire", "Luke Cage", who also stars in Clemency from Sundance) stars as Juanita, with a full cast including Adam Beach, Gil Birmingham, Ashlie Atkinson, Marcus Henderson, & Blair Underwood. Doesn't look that great, but it does look like a fairly amusing reinvention film mixing things up. Might be worth a watch?
Fed up with her deadbeat grown kids and marginal urban existence, Juanita (Alfre Woodard) takes a Greyhound bus up to Paper Moon, Montana where she reinvents herself and finds her mojo. Juanita is directed by American actor-filmmaker Clark Johnson, director of the movies S.W.A.T. and The Sentinel previously, in addition to all of his acting work. The screenplay is written by Roderick M. Spencer, based on the book by Sheila Williams. This hasn't premiered at any film festivals or elsewhere yet. Netflix will release Johnson's Juanita streaming exclusively starting on March 8th coming up next month. Who's interested?


The 3-Hour Diet – So is this another one of those FAD diets?
SO IS THIS ANOTHER FAD DIET?
It may very well be, but this book seemed to COLLABORATE what my body has been telling me all along!
It actually says that you should be eating every 3 hours, and this will Boost your metabolic rate, Stop hunger, and start Losing Weight just by eating every 3 hours. But best of all, at least for me, it will start with losing your BELLY FAT first!
Well, that's what the author promise.
He gives a breakdown of what's banned, and why the diet is dangerous. Oh by the way, he is an opponent of the now familiar low-carbohydrate diet that was also once a huge craze. He listed many reasons why low-carb diets actually make one FAT. You can read more about this in his book "The 3-Hour Diet".
SO, the conclusion is that his 3-hour diet is the best alternative as you can have almost every food you desire and is easy to sustain. It does not deprive your body of the foods you like.
But if you boil it down, it's simply having a BALANCED meal (hello, that is taught in school, remember the food pyramid?) So you are supposed to have carbohydrates, proteins and lots and lots of vegetables, and a little bit of fat.
The author uses an interesting visualization method to help us remember the different food groups and how much one is supposed to have at one sitting.
I have to say, it is quite useful visualization technique and I even found myself looking at the rice (ie carbohydrate) on my plate and wondering if its the size of a rubic cube!
Among the benefits, it is supposed to up your basal metabolic rate, and increase your energy levels as blood sugar in your body is kept stable, which incidentally translates to fewer cravings and hence a natural way to suppress appetite. Got it?
But what really got me excited was the final benefit … Reducing the belly-bulging hormone Cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that is closely related to abdominal fat. Jorge cited a study in The New England Journal of Medicine that showed how eating every 3 hours in fact helped to reduce the levels of cortisol in humans.
The study found that individuals who ate frequent, small meals actually reduced their cortisol levels by 17 % compared to those who took 3 large meals (even though both groups consumed the same amount of food).

The decline was likely overstated the health of the labor market as data for several states were estimated.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 41,000 to a seasonally adjusted 220,000 for the week ended Jan. 13, the lowest level since February 1973.
The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week to the lowest level in 45 years, but the decline likely overstated the health of the labor market as data for several states were estimated.
The Labor Department said claims for California, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, Hawaii, Virginia, and Wyoming were estimated. Government offices were closed on Monday for the Martin Luther King holiday.
Last week, the four-week moving average of initial claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, fell 6,250 to 244,500. The claims data covered the survey week for January's nonfarm payrolls.
In its Beige Book report of anecdotal information on business activity collected from contacts nationwide, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday that "most districts cited on-going labor market tightness and challenges finding qualified workers across skills and sectors."
Thursday's claims report also showed the number of people receiving benefits after an initial week of aid increased 76,000 to 1.95 million in the week ended Jan. 6. The four-week moving average of the so-called continuing claims gained 4,000 to 1.92 million.

# colour and class labels to be used by geom_ribbon
df_bg <- data.frame(x = c(0, rep(which(as.logical(diff(labels))), each=2), length(labels)),
                    ymin = min(df$Close, na.rm = TRUE),
                    ymax = 1.1*max(df$Close, na.rm = TRUE),
                    fill = factor(rep(labels[c(which(as.logical(diff(labels))), length(labels) )], each=2))
                    )

  geom_line(aes(x=1:nrow(df), y=diff_ma )) +
  labs(title="IBM 2-State HMM") +
  geom_ribbon(data = df_bg,
              aes(x = x, ymin=ymin, ymax=ymax, fill=fill), alpha=.2) +
  xlab("Date") +
  ylab("Levels") +
  theme(legend.justification = c(1, 0), legend.position = c(1, 0))

As you can see below, rather than distinct red and blue filled regions, this geom_ribbon code produces a mixture of the two.

What am I doing wrong here? I think it is the fill column in df_bg, but I am not entirely sure. Also, if I wanted to plot by Date in the x axis, can I still use geom_ribbon to colour label?
P.S: This question is related to my previous one here.

A: You need to add a group argument to your data and geom_ribbon call. Otherwise it groups by color and just uses the filling color from the minimum to the maximum value for each of your colors.
# colour and class labels to be used by geom_ribbon
df_bg <- data.frame(x = c(0, rep(which(as.logical(diff(labels))), each=2), length(labels)),
                    ymin = min(df$Close, na.rm = TRUE),
                    ymax = 1.1*max(df$Close, na.rm = TRUE),
                    fill = factor(rep(labels[c(which(as.logical(diff(labels))), length(labels) )],
                                      each=2)),
                    grp = factor(rep(seq(sum(as.logical(diff(labels)), na.rm=TRUE)+1), each=2))
)
#
ggplot(data=df) +
  geom_line(aes(x=1:nrow(df), y=Close)) +
  labs(title="IBM 2-State HMM") +
  geom_ribbon(data = df_bg,
              aes(x = x, ymin=ymin, y=180, ymax=ymax, fill=fill, group=grp), alpha=.2) +
  xlab("Date") +
  ylab("Levels") +
  theme(legend.justification = c(1, 0), legend.position = c(1, 0))

EDIT: In order to change the x-axis to Date format, you can use the Date in your geom_line command and change the x of your df_bg to a Date.
# colour and class labels to be used by geom_ribbon
df_bg <- data.frame(x = df[c(1, rep(which(as.logical(diff(labels))), each=2), length(labels)), "Date"],
                    ymin = min(df$Close, na.rm = TRUE),
                    ymax = 1.1*max(df$Close, na.rm = TRUE),
                    fill = factor(rep(labels[c(which(as.logical(diff(labels))), length(labels) )],
                                      each=2)),
                    grp = factor(rep(seq(sum(as.logical(diff(labels)), na.rm=TRUE)+1), each=2))
)
#

If you are a spouse or dependent of a veteran, the Dependents' Educational Assistance offers up to 45 months of education benefits, for degree and certificate programs, apprenticeship, and on-the-job training, and/or correspondence courses.
There are excellent military educational programs that support those upcoming military brights - your military children. If you are a spouse or dependent of a veteran, the Dependents' Educational Assistance offers up to 45 months of education benefits, for degree and certificate programs, apprenticeship, and on-the-job training, and/or correspondence courses. Remedial, deficiency, and refresher courses may be approved.
A service member missing in action or captured in line of duty by a hostile force.
A service member forcibly detained or interned in line of duty by a foreign government or power.
Make sure your selected program is approved for VA training. If you're not sure, the VA can inform you and the school about the requirements. If you are a veteran's son or daughter and wish to receive benefits for attending school or job training, you must be between the ages of 18 and 26. VA can extend your period of eligibility by the number of months and days equal to the time spent on active duty, all the way up to your 31st birthday. If you are a spouse, benefits end 10 years from the date VA finds you eligible or from the date of death of the veteran.
The new Post 9/11 GI Bill also allows serving troops to transfer education benefits to a spouse or to one or more children. The Secretary of Defense has yet to issue regulations on how this program will be implemented, but there are some general guidelines. In order to give education benefits to a spouse, the service member must serve or commit to serve for at least ten years. Transferability is available once a service member has served six years and has reenlisted for at least four more. Spouses will have 15 years to use the benefits. And, in order to give education benefits to a dependent, the service member must have served for at least ten years. Children will have until age 26 to use their benefits.

This was a tough read because I've an interest in bullying and especially cyber bullying there are so many horrible true stories. The story is told from the perspective of a bully Sara (though she doesn't see herself that way) while Emma Putnam, the victim has taken her own life. You never get into her head. Sara is an impossible character to like. Excuses for everything. Emma deserved it. But the end made it worth the read to see Sara finally and truly accept responsibility for her actions. I would totally give this to high-school age kids although never getting Emma's perspective would make me want to be careful that victims of bullying understand there are other options.
Occasionally I love a book that I don't think I'm going to get through and then comes roaring back and surprises me. The first two hundred or so pages of this book about a myth and a monster come to life in New York were dull but then the last six hundred I couldn't stop reading as characters began to crash together and fates are meet. It also helped that I totally fan-casted Sendil Ramamurthy and Gwendoline Christie in the main roles.
Man gets left behind on Mars because they think he's dead. Man struggles to survive with lots of detailed science. NASA realizes he's alive and mounts rescue mission including a last ditch effort from his team that could cost them all their lives. Girl reads until her eyes bleed and cries and cries. Seriously I couldn't put this one down! If they do this movie right it will be huge! This was one that I recommended to people I worked with who all loved it just as much.
This is a collection of stories and essays by the late Marina Keegan and it was probably the most personal read. I didn't really like the stories. They were very cold to me. But her essays were very smart and she was incredibly observant woman. But what got me was a vein of questioning mortality throughout and this was a girl who if you read her biography she probably didn't sleep much through high school and college. And I couldn't help but wonder if she knew she wouldn't have the time and it made me want to live just as fully.
"Sometime before I die I think I'll find a microphone and climb to the top of a radio tower. I'll take a deep breath and close my eyes because it will start to rain right when I reach the top. Hello, I'll say to outer space, this is my card." Marina Keegan, Song for the Special.


After my 5th chemo session, Jesus Vidal messaged me to tell me I look exactly like the girl in his illustration he did for Breast Cancer International Day.
After my last chemo session on the 1st April, it took 5 weeks for my hair to slowly start sprouting again. I had been quite fond of my low maintenance routine of never having to shave my legs or under arms so it was strange to see hair making an appearance again. When I saw my first hair I had a "oh, Hello you!" moment as if I was saluting a dear old friend that popped around unexpectedly for tea.
As the weeks passed, I realised that though your hair forgives you for what it has been put through, it doesn't forget. The hair grows back in a slightly different way, and sometimes in a better way. Following my tips which are at the bottom of this page, my hair, eyelashes and eyebrows have grown back thicker and more plentiful than before.
The 4 months of chemo was like winter for my hair, a sleeping beauty in hibernation until it was time for spring to give her the kiss of life again. It is quite beautiful to see a new awakening in your body as it makes you appreciate how resilient it is. No matter what you to decide to do with your day to day life, your body's main goal is to heal itself. I am a flower and I am blossomed stronger!
This is me today, 3 months after finishing chemo. My hair would be much longer, but I have been shaving it as I'm loving it short. I'm also having fun experimenting, I got blade 1 on the sides, keeping the length on top.
People have asked me what it was like to finish chemo and my response usually bewilders them. I was sad when it was finished. I had grown accustomed to going to the chemo ward once every three weeks for 4 months that I had become friendly with the nurses and my fellow Chemotarians. I used my 3 hour chemo sessions as my time to reflect, soul search and write. It also gives you a new perspective on time as I was more productive, setting myself goals I wanted to achieve by my next treatment. Though I was sad when my chemo sessions were drawing to an end, I didn't realise how it would hit me until I watched my nurse cut off my hospital bracelet at the end of my last treatment saying joyfully "You're finished!". I felt like she just cut off a limb. I felt like I lost something. I felt empty. Then as she pulled the chemo drip out from my other hand, tears started to stream down my face. I was shocked at how sad I was. It felt like a bereavement.
Though the chemo side effects aren't something you particularly look forward to, I appreciated how the pain, just like fasting or lack of sleep, pushes you into a different realm far from the physical world. It makes you explore the confines of your soul and knock on the door of your deepest thoughts. They say that character is built in the soul of adversity, and suffering strengthened my character. I was sad for my chemo chapter to end but just as I was to leave the chemo ward for the last time, a doctor wisely told me that the end of one journey is but the beginning of another.
Put on RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serum (£41 at Boots) every night when your eyelashes are beginning to grow again. I find putting the product onto my finger tip is an easier way of applying it.
At first my eyelashes started to grow a bit twisted and curling outwards instead of upwards, so apply Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Curl Mascara every day. It forces them to hold their proper shape, and trains your eyelashes to grow and curl upwards. This mascara is the best for making your eyelashes curl so no wasting time on eyelash curlers.
Put on the same RapidLash product on to your eyebrows but also on the skin above to encourage new hairs to grow. As a result, my eyebrows are thicker and start from higher up.
Do a DIY eyebrow tint (from Boots) at home to make your eyebrows pop.
When your hair first starts to grow back, get a male friend to shave your head with shaving cream and a razor. Do it again after 2 weeks. This will strengthen your hair.
If you have are having problems with hair growth, use Roots Hair Treatment by Lush. It's a hair mask that makes your head feel all lovely and tingly as it stimulates hair growth.
Very interesting Eimear, I wondered what it was all about now I know. You look amazing as usual..
