Can HIV treatment lower the risk of hepatitis B?
Men who are HIV positive but on treatment have the same risk for hepatitis B as those without HIV, a new study has found.

Not only does effective HIV therapy thwart the AIDS-causing virus, it may also reduce the risk for hepatitis B infection, a new study says.
"What this means to us is that effective HIV therapy appears to restore an impairment in the immune response that protects someone with HIV from acquiring hepatitis B infection," study senior author Dr. Chloe Thio, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said in a university news release.
The study, published in the October issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, involved 2,400 gay and bisexual men who were enrolled in the Multicentre AIDS Cohort Study. Researchers found that the men successfully treated with HIV therapy had the same risk for hepatitis B infection as the men who did not have HIV. Hepatitis B is a virus that can damage the liver.
The study showed HIV-positive men on HIV therapy who had no detectable virus in their blood were 80 percent less likely to be infected with hepatitis B over about 9.5 years, compared to men with HIV who weren't on HIV therapy or had detectable levels of the virus in their blood.
Researchers said their findings also confirm the long-standing belief that vaccination against the hepatitis B virus protects people regardless of their HIV status.
Study lead author Dr. Oluwaseun Falade-Nwulia, an assistant professor of medicine at Hopkins, said, "We found a 70 percent reduction in new [hepatitis B] infections in the men who reported receiving at least one dose of [hepatitis B] vaccine."
However, "vaccination rates, even in high-risk individuals, such as men who have sex with men, remain low, and we need to do a better job of encouraging vaccination," she said in the news release.
Adults getting the hepatitis B vaccine should receive three doses within six months, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention recommends.
In 1984, when the study began, 41 percent of men with HIV had been vaccinated against hepatitis B, compared with 28 percent of men without HIV, researchers said.
By 2013, the proportion of men who received more than one dose of hepatitis B vaccine increased 67 percent among men with HIV, compared to 58 percent among men who did not have the virus.
Despite the protective effects of HIV therapy, better hepatitis B prevention in gay and bisexual men is needed to control the epidemic of the virus among this population, the study's authors cautioned.
In the United States, gay and bisexual men account for roughly 15 to 25 percent of new hepatitis B infections, the researchers said.
Drug users who share needles are also at risk for the liver disease, according to the CDC.

While speaking during a plenary session at the National Assemby on Wednesday, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, lamented on the manner in which his close ally, Senator Dino Melaye, dramatizes issues on the floor of the Senate.
The senate president who was reacting to Dino Melaye's account of new developments in the case of his alleged involvement with two criminal suspects whom he said had reportedly escaped from police custody in Lokoja, frowned at how Melaye quickly digressed from presenting his argument to singing.
According to Daily Independent, Senator Melaye, had told the Senate that while he sent legal representations to the Kogi High Court, despite not being served any summon, the police instead of presenting the suspects in court were asking for a bench warrant to arrest him.
He said: "Mr President, the social media this morning was awash – and I have made confirmation that the suspects in my case who said I gave them guns and money – there is a reported case in Lokoja that there was a jailbreak at 5:00am this morning and the two suspects have escaped.
"Mr President we were all suppose to appear before the Lokoja high court this morning. My lawyers were in court at 9:00am and the case was called up and the prosecutor of the Nigerian police could not produce the two persons.
"Instead of producing the two persons they asked the judge to a bench warrant for an arrest but the judge refused to grant their prayers and the judge said despite the fact that I have not been served I sent representation to the court. And the main accused persons are absent in court," Melaye said.
Continuing, Senator Melaye said: "Rumours have it that this people were moved from detention, and rumours have it that they may have been killed because yesterday two international organisations were in Kogi based on my petition to find out what is happening.
"Surprisingly these two people have now been declared escapees. Mr President I want to use the opportunity and on the principle of justice to call on the inspector-general of police that within 48 hours he must produce these accused persons because they are presumed innocent until proven guilty they also have right to life.
"So police must as a matter urgency produce these two accused persons. Failure to do so I will sue the IG for mental assault. Nigeria is not a banana republic," he said.
The senate therefore directed the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to as a matter of urgency produce the suspects within 48hours.

taking place in time and space can be the condition sine quâ non of divine perfection. And any struggle or conflict like that supposed implies imperfection " (pp. 261, 262).
But where do the advocates of the third theory say in unqualified words that " Christ died to satisfy what was due to the moral universe," if by the universe he meant the creation, or that the atonement was simply an act of justice which owed protection to the universe from the danger of evil example? Where do Orthodox divines speak of an antagonism in the divine nature enduring until A.M. 4034, and then ceasing? Is it proper to make such representations, and to conceal the familiar principles of Orthodoxy, that God sees the end from the beginning; that he acts in regard to the future as if it were past; that he looks on a thousand years as one day, and one day as a thousand years ; that the atonement as predicted, promised, prefigured, is an atonement, so that Abraham rejoiced to see the day of Christ and saw it, and was glad; that we are redeemed, not by an influence beginning in the year 4034, but by "the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times ?"
Similar criticisms might be made on Dr. Clarke's representation of the Orthodox doctrine concerning Sin, Regeneration, Decrees, etc., but our limits forbid further remarks. We regard his volume as an important and valuable one, giving evidence of a truth-loving and conscientious spirit, as well as of a vigorous and acute mind. It is difficult for any man to describe satisfactorily the system of his opponents, especially his theological opponents, unless he describe it in their own chosen words with all their qualifying adjuncts.
Cowles's COMMENTARY ON THE MINOR PROPHET8.1 To write a good commentary on the Minor Prophets is an arduous work. Some portions of them, as, for example, Hosea, Nahum, Habakkuk, and parts of Micah and Zechariah, present a Hebrew text which is of difficult interpretation; and where the literal interpretation is plain and simple, the true scope and meaning are sometimes obscure. In proof of this we need only refer to the discordant views of the commentators on Joel, where it would be hardly candid or modest for one writer to assume that all who do not follow his line of interpretation are under the shackles of prejudice - befangen, as our German friends say. The author of the present commentary proposes to give, in general, the results, not the details, of historic investigation, " aiming to meet the wants, not of Hebrew scholars only or
1 The Minor Prophets, with Notes, Critical, Explanatory, and Practical, designed for both Pastors and People. By Rev. Henry Cowles. New York: D. Appleton and Co. 1866.
chiefly, but of all English readers." He makes an exception in the case of "points of great practical interest and value, e.g. those prophecies respecting the Messiah and his kingdom which yet remain in part to be fulfilled "; which he proposes to discuss "fundamentally and thoroughly." The question is how ably and faithfully he has carried out his plan.
With regard to the main body of the work, in which he gives the results of historic investigation, a writer in the New Englander, who criticises the work with a severity which seems to us unjust, says:
· The first sense of the prophet's words, together with the connection of thought, is in general correctly given." This testimony is true, and it covers ground of great importance. We know of no commentary designed for readers generally, and not specially for students of the original Hebrew, in which the first sense, with the connection of thought, is brought out more plainly. We do not affirm that he has never missed the true meaning (this could be affirmed of no commentator on the Minor Prophets with which we are acquainted); but we think that, in general, he has succeeded very well in giving the literal sense with the connection of thought in the context, and that, in this respect, the work deserves commendation to "all English readers."
But a commentary on the Minor Prophets must, of necessity, bring out the writer's views of prophecy also; and here the reviewer will
approve or condemn according to the school to which he belongs; for on the question of the nature of prophecy there are at the present day different schools, and some of them widely divergent from each other.
There is, first, the rationalistic view, which, either openly or in a more or less covert way, resolves all prophecy into mere human anticipation, that presaging (Ahnung) of great coming crises in the course of human affairs which belongs to gifted minds. This view eliminates from prophecy all that is divine, except so far as the human mind may be supposed to contain in itself a divine element, and it utterly denies a supernatural revelation from God to man of future events; being, in truth, part and parcel of a system of religion from which all that is properly supernatural is excluded. This view of prophecy all evangelical men reject utterly.
But among supernaturalists there are different views of the nature of prophecy. There is certainly just ground for charging upon many of the old interpreters the error of transferring the prophets themselves into the future, and making them see the events which they predicted with all their details in the light of coming history. This we hold to be inconsistent with the divine representation, according to which the ancient prophets " inquired and searched diligently" concerning the meaning of their own utterances, "searching with reference to what or what sort of time (eis riva Tolov kaupóv) the spirit of Christ which was in them, made revelation (édýkou) when it testified beforehand the sufferings pertaining to Christ (rà eis Xpwotòv madhuara) and the glories after them ( càs.
metà Taïra dócas). These words give with great clearness the scriptural idea of prophecy. It is a revelation made by the spirit of Christ — the Holy Spirit employed by the Father and the Son in the work of redemption- in the mind of the prophet. And precisely because it is not the product of his own mind, but is given to him from above; and given, moreover, as a general rule, only in outline, without specification of " times and seasons," he cannot understand, any more than his contemporaries, its full import, but is under the necessity of inquiring and searching diligently concerning it. The apostle adds: " Unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things which are now announced (ivnyyéln) unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into." The apostle certainly does not mean that the prophets ministered no instruction and comfort to themselves and their own age.
" Comfort ye, comfort ye my people," is the burden of all prophecy; and this comfort pertains to the generation that receives the prophecy and to all following generations till its fulfilment. His meaning plainly is that the "good things to come " which the prophets foretell, are fulfilled, not to them, but to a future age - in the case of the Messianic prophecies, to the age of the apostles. Joel's prediction, for example, of the pouring out of the spirit in the last days upon all flesh, was a comfort to him, and a comfort also to the people of God in his own day and onward. But the blessing itself he ministered to the generation which witnessed the day of Pentecost, for they received it.
From this view it follows that God is himself the interpreter of prophecy; that is, that God alone can reveal the full meaning of what is contained in the prophetic utterances. His people can know beforehand the general purport of a given prophecy, and derive therefrom strength and comfort. But its fulfilment will shed upon it a flood of new light. God interprets prophecy, generally, by the events of history; more specifically, by subsequent revelations. So the explanations given by Christ and his apostles of previous prophecies are of the highest authority, and from them there is no appeal.
From this view of prophecy it follows, again, that the various portraitures given by the ancient prophets of the Messiah are not a shifting sand-bank of merely human conceptions, that vary radically from age to age ; but that all of them, from first to last, find a true fulfilment — not a fulfilment by accommodation merely — in the historic Christ of the New Testament. One of these portraitures, like that, for example, in the second psalm, may give one side of his office, and that, too, in theocratic drapery; another, like the passage in Isa. xi. 1-9, may give a second side ; another," like that in the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah, a third side. One portraiture may be more dim, another more distinct. But since they all proceed from God, they must all have a real fulfilment in our Saviour; else his constant
appeals to them, in which he is followed by his apostles, are only "pious frauds," well suited to the character of Jesuits, but most abhorrent to that of Jesus of Nazareth and his holy apostles. The appearance of the Son of God in human nature is, then, both the fulfilment and the interpretation of the preceding Messianic prophecies.
So far as we have examined the commentary under consideration, its view of prophecy agrees, in general, with that which has now been given, and which we regard as the scriptural view. There are indeed particular points on which we should differ from the writer. We should, for example, with the reviewer in the New Englander, interpret the word nie, Joel ii. 23, to mean the early rain. Such dissent in particulars is incident to any commentary on the Minor Prophets that has for its author an uninspired man. It is not inconsistent with commendation of the work as a whole; and such commendation, we think, the present commentary may justly claim. The author's candid remarks on Haggai ii. 7, naon 23 oran-sp, rendered in our English version after the vulgate : " And the desire of all nations shall come," show that it is not his plan to force a passage into a Messianic meaning in violation of grammatical laws. He has also avoided, in general, the particularism so characteristic of Henderson's interpretation of prophecy. In the celebrated prophecy of Joel, for example: " And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh," etc., chap. iii. 1-5 (in the English version, chap. č. 28–32), he justly sees a progressive fulfilment extending through the whole Christian dispensation, and having its culmination in ages yet future. We hope that this commentary will have an extensive circulation among the Christian readers for whom it is designed. THE BOOK OF PROVERBS, in an Amended Version ; with an Introduction
and Explanatory Notes. By Joseph Muenscher, D.D. 265. Gardiner, Ohio: Western Episcopalian Office. 1866.
The author of this volume was graduated at Brown University, in 1821, was connected one year with the class which left Andover Theological Seminary in 1825, and has been a Professor of Biblical Literature at Kenyon College, Ohio. In the preparation of this volume he acknowledges his chief indebtedners to Poole, Geier, Piscator, Schultens, Holden, Rosenmüller, Boothroyd, Noyes, and Stuart. He prefaces his Commentary with fifty-three pages of Introduction, which we have read with great interest. The Commentary itself is judicious and instructive. "In the preparation of the notes he has endeavored to meet the wants both of the scholar and of the plain English reader." He has succeeded admirably, we think.
Dr. Muenscher is also the author of a volume published in 1865, containing 318 pages, 16mo., entitled, Manual of Biblical Interpretation. It is replete with sound thought, and shows that he has evidently studied the Vol. XXIV. No. 93.

This is the fourth volume of Dr. Schaff's edition of Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures, Critical, Doctrinal, and Homiletical. Dr. Schaeffer has performed his part of this work with great skill and fidelity. He has noticed many of the important " various readings" which Lechler did not specify, and has introduced many of these "readings" from the Codex Sinaiticus of Tischendorf, has inserted geographical and philological notes from English and American authors, and has added Dr. H. A. W. Meyer's " large chronological chart, presenting a full synopsis of the dates which he himself recognized, and also of those which the most eminent chronologists and commentators had respectively adopted." Dr. Schaeffer has obviously translated the volume with great accuracy and conscientiousness.

Dr. Burrowes contends with honest zeal for the allegorical interpretation of this book. He would have done a better service to the cause of truth if he had been more accurate in the statement of the opinions held by other commentators, and if he had manifested more of a scholarly and less of a partisan spirit. His volume, however, contains many wise sayings, and suggests many profitable trains of reflection.

Vietnam Is Having Condom Problems — And That's a Good Thing
Vietnam is having condom problems.
Hundreds of thousands of condoms sold there are substandard. They tear easily and don't offer reliable protection. While this might seem like a red flag, it's actually a sign of progress.
The condom kerfuffle has its roots in Vietnam's new prosperity. Vietnam used to be a low-income country, making it eligible for international aid funding from sources like the U.N. and the German Development Bank. So 80 percent of the country's condoms were paid for by foreign donors and handed out for free, or at highly subsidized rates — under 5 cents a condom.
But in the past 20 years, the country has undergone significant changes. Government-led economic reforms have lifted people out of poverty. In 2010, Vietnam went from being low-income to middle-income. Its GDP now sits at about $2,000 per person. That means it's too rich to qualify for the same level of aid funding.
Now that the money has begun to dwindle, the Ministry of Health is coming up with a new way to distribute condoms — through the free market. Yes, a socialist state is adopting a capitalistic solution. Working with USAID and PATH, a Seattle-based nonprofit, the government is winding down handouts; instead, it's encouraging the sale of condoms.
Currently only 15 percent of condoms are handed out by the public sector; the remaining 85 percent are purchased at pharmacies, grocery stores and roadside stalls, according to the United Nations Population Fund. Prices range from 2,000 to 8,000 Vietnamese dong (that's 10 to 40 U.S. cents).
The change in condom distribution highlights an ongoing issue in the world of international development. Poor countries are often dependent on foreign donors; critics say that handouts are not the answer, that governments need to become self-sufficient.

for tweeting her opinions about something happening in sports.
to be specific, she was tweeting about an ongoing NFL protest where a handful of players are kneeling during the National Anthem to bring attention to the fact that police are killing black people, many of whom are unarmed, and not paying a price for their crimes.
companies for eons have had the upper hand on the public voices of their employees but once blogging and now Twitter have risen up, the companies are panicked because OMG what happens if an employee tweets something controversial?
the double edged sword of social media is people are either posting things benign like pictures of puppies or babies, or extremely controversial items like their feelings about politics.
what these companies dont realize or want to agree to is that Control is an Illusion. and when you suspend an analyst for analyzing you look a bit hypocritical – especially when many public-facing personalities are being judged by how many twitter followers they have.
look no further than our president who was praised by the mavericky way he was able to reach out to his millions of followers on twitter and speak his mind.
so it's a bit odd when the leader of the free world can tweet whatever he wants, but the people in the free world are punished for it.
this country, stolen from the native americans, was built on the idea that one could express their feelings – particularly about issues of The State – without being punished.
then we have bigger issues than police murdering people in cold blood.

Q: Best way to classify labeled sentences from a set of documents I have a classification problem and I need to figure out the best approach to solve it.  I have a set of training documents, where some the sentences and/or paragraphs within the documents are labeled with some tags.  Not all sentences/paragraphs are labeled. A sentence or paragraph may have more than one tag/label.  What I want to do is make some model, where given a new documents, it will give me suggested labels for each of the sentences/paragraphs within the document.  Ideally, it would only give me high-probability suggestions.
If I use something like nltk NaiveBayesClassifier, it gives poor results, I think because it does not take into account the "unlabeled" sentences from the training documents, which will contain many similar words and phrases as the labeled sentences.  The documents are legal/financial in nature and are filled with legal/financial jargon most of which should be discounted in the classification model.
Is there some better classification algorithm that Naive Bayes, or is there some way to push the unlabelled data into naive bayes, in addition to the labelled data from the training set?

A: Here's what I'd do to slightly modify your existing approach: train a single classifier for each possible tag, for each sentence. Include all sentences not expressing that tag as negative examples for the tag (this will implicitly count unlabelled examples). For a new test sentence, run all n classifiers, and retain classes scoring above some threshold as the labels for the new sentence.
I'd probably use something other than Naive Bayes. Logistic regression (MaxEnt) is the obvious choice if you want something probabilistic: SVMs are very strong if you don't care about probabilities (and I don't think you do at the moment).
This is really a sequence labelling task, and ideally you'd fold in predictions from nearby sentences too... but as far as I know, there's no principled extension to CRFs/StructSVM or other sequence tagging approaches that lets instances have multiple labels.

A:
is there some way to push the unlabelled data into naive bayes

There is no distinction between "labeled" and "unlabeled" data, Naive Bayes builds simple conditional probabilities, in particular P(label|attributes) and P(no label|attributes) so it is heavily based on used processing pipeline but I highly doubt that it actually ignores the unlabelled parts. If it does so for some reason, and you do not want to modify the code, you can also introduce some artificial label "no label" to all remaining text segments.

Is there some better classification algorithm that Naive Bayes

Yes, NB is in fact the most basic model, and there are dozens better (stronger, more general) ones, which achieve better results in text tagging, including:

*

*Hidden Markov Models (HMM)

*Conditional Random Fields (CRF)

*in general -Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM)

After more than a year of negotiations between the Denver Classroom Teachers Association and Denver Public Schools, teachers in the Colorado capital officially voted to strike on Tuesday night. According to the Denver Post, 93 percent of the union voted in favor of the work stoppage.
The vote didn't come out of nowhere: Colorado teachers joined with their colleagues in Arizona when they staged walkouts in April after six months of failed negotiations; 27 school districts in Colorado were forced to close for that protest. Over the next eight months, DCTA and DPS attempted to negotiate a contract before their current one expired last Friday. The two sides were in a bargaining session late into the night which ended when it became clear that they were roughly $8 million apart.
The majority of the disagreements centered on the school system's refusal to provide a solid commitment to raising the teachers' salaries, especially those who obtain their Master's degrees. While both sides told the Post they're more than willing to negotiate during the strike, it's unclear how long the strike could go given district Superintendent Susana Cordova's call on Tuesday to hire furloughed federal workers as scabs. Later in the night, per the Post, Cordova announced the district would double its daily salary for substitute teachers.
The strike will be the first walkout by teachers in Colorado's largest school district in 25 years. The strike of 1994 resulted in a 2.15 percent pay bump for the teachers, although the district managed to add 10 days to the work schedule. This year's strike was confirmed the same day the United Teachers of Los Angeles announced their a new contract after a weeklong strike of their own. Here's hoping Denver's teachers follow their L.A. comrades' lead and remind the city and the state that public education and paying workers fair wages is, actually, a good thing.

I recently won People's Choice Best of Jewelry in the Millicent Rogers Museum annual "Miniatures" show here in Taos. My award is dinner for two at the Bavarian Lodge, which is an enchanted traditional Alpine restaurant and hotel deep in the high country at Taos Ski Valley (elevation, approximately 11,000 ft). Since the lodge is closed in the off season, I "must" wait till summer to take advantage of this special gift. What a pleasure that will be!
Every day is an opportunity to reinvent oneself. To me, this is a creative act, and one which requires a bit of courage. Pushing oneself out of the comfort zone can be hard work. Being creative every day can be hard work. There are days I'm intimidated by the self-appointed task of making a living through creativity. It can take a lot of energy, and at times, a little too much navel contemplation.
Yeah !!! You are here!!

Blake Emerson is Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law (view CV). Prior to joining UCLA Law, he was a Research Fellow at the Administrative Conference of the United States in Washington, D.C. His primary research interests lie in administrative law, structural constitutional law, and political theory. In 2021, he received the Association of American Law Schools, Administrative Law Section's Emerging Scholar Award.
Emerson's research examines the normative and historical foundations of American public law. He draws on resources from political theory and American political development to understand the structure and purpose of the regulatory state. He studies questions such as: What role have federal government agencies played in interpreting and implementing civil rights and other fundamental public values? How can legal doctrine ensure that agencies address such significant policy issues in a reasoned and inclusive fashion? In what ways have the diverse institutions of the American state realized, or failed to live up to, democratic principles?
Emerson's book, The Public's Law: Origins and Architecture of Progressive Democracy (Oxford University Press, 2019), offers a history and theory of democracy in the American administrative state. His articles have appeared or are forthcoming in Jurisprudence, the Yale Law Journal, The Cambridge Handbook of Constitutional Theory, Yale Journal on Regulation, Harvard Law & Policy Review, Minnesota Law Review, Hastings Law Journal, and Review of Politics, among other publications. He has co-authored two reports on federal agency best practices for the Administrative Conference of the United States, and written shorter contributions for Slate, the Notice and Comment Blog, Regulatory Review, and Law and Political Economy Blog.
Emerson received his B.A. magna cum laude with Highest Honors from Williams College, his Ph.D. with Honors from Yale University, and his J.D. with Honors from Yale Law School.

Zambia's Constitutional Court ruled on Friday that President Edgar Lungu can stand in presidential elections due in 2021, finding that he would not be breaching a constitutional two-term limit.
Lungu's first period in office lasted only one year and six months, when he took over after the death of the previous elected president. He then won election to a second, full term.
Lungu argued that the constitution says a president is only deemed to have served a term if he is in office for at least three years of the full five-year term.

Secret Santa Giving Away $100,000
A Secret Santa is mailing checks to essential workers all around the country with plans to send $100,000 before Christmas. The person, who wants to remain anonymous, has only been identified as a wealthy businessman. CBS says he typically passes out $100 bills during the holidays, but this year he has been sending $1000 checks to random people, including a nurse in Texas, a sanitation worker from Florida, a server in Pennsylvania, and a security guard in Missouri.
The man told CBS News, "You know kindness, when freely given, with no expectation in return – is, in fact, unconditional love. And that's really what we're giving them." It's not clear how he's selecting people to send money to.
I wish I was in a place financially to do something similar but I'm not. Most of us aren't, but you don't have to be rich to make an impact this holiday season. You could donate a gift to the Ronald McDonald House, volunteer to distribute food at Channel One Food Bank, ring at a red kettle, or leave an extra big tip when order takeout. You probably won't make the news doing any of these things, but I promise you will make the holidays a little brighter for someone.

Are you a graphic designer for a living?
No, I am a computer instructor!
I do teach middle schoolers the basics of graphic design, but other than that, photography & graphic design are something I love!
That's really awesome. I love graphic design and really want to learn as a hobby.


What was that attractive pattern—a fading-at-its-edges grid of sort-of forward-facing rhomboids—that came sewn in sequins or patterned on fil coupe and knits? Alice Temperley said this morning that what looked like a maybe-snake or possibly a straightened leopard was based on tire treads.
This Temperley London collection was inspired by motor racing, and specifically a game-sounding dame named Kay Petre, a Canadian-born, 4-foot-10 pioneer of 1930s women's British motorsport. Hence the tire-track pattern, the diversion-sign arrows, the racing-glove print, and the vaguely of-that-time Vorticist reliefs on knit bombers and sweater-culotte double acts. This collection carried on pretty directly from Temperley's recent aviation-inspired expedition: It contained a similar mix of bold but versatile daywear—plenty of intensely patterned silk viscose dresses and pajama-style separates—that accelerated into eveningwear via heavily embellished frocks, sometimes bow tied. These included two especially striking metallic fil coupe designs well worth a hand-brake turn to take in.
The designer's 9-year-old son, Fox, attended this appointment and displayed a total mastery of the Fortnite Floss dance, as his mother comprehensively sped through the current status of her label.
Temperley said she and her team are working hard to offer a broad spectrum of price points—not just high-octane, high-outlay Formula 1—and, indeed, some of the most impactful pieces here were among the most affordable. A checkered flag–patterned shirtdress with a ruffle skirt absolutely deserved its pole position spot in Temperley's lookbook and was one of these easier items. Temperley is a designer with drive, whose formula for what she described as "something quite louche, luxe, and relaxed" is by now fine-tuned. However, she hinted, expect a radical diversion come September.

Central: Ultimate Guide
The heart of the city is home to some of its best bars, restaurants and art galleries
By Olivia Lai | Posted: Thursday July 5 2018
Known for being Hong Kong's business and financial quarter, Central might seem a bit of bore at first, at least compared to hipper neighbourhoods like Sheung Wan or Sham Shui Po. But we're here to dispute that. This is the place where you can find some of the best bars not just in Hong Kong but Asia. Central is a hub for stellar, world-class contemporary art galleries as well as restaurants. There's quite a lot to pack in, but here's just a taste of some of the best things to see, do and eat in Central.
Best things to do and eat in Central
Shopping, Vintage shops
Bang Bang 70s
icon-location-pin Sheung Wan
If you're not down with the 2010s and you reckon you were born in the wrong era, you might want to make your way over to this funky vintage store on Aberdeen Street. There you can discover groovy clothing and memorabilia that will make you nostalgic for the days when disco was king. Forget about time machines and head to Bang Bang 70s instead.
Restaurants, Chinese
Duddell's
icon-location-pin Central
A mix of fine art, fine dining and fine cocktails, this expansive boasts a spacious terrace and elegant interiors. The restaurant specialises in traditional Cantonese cuisine to contrast to its contemporary décor. Elsewhere, the 'Salon' bar serves drinks well worth taking a break from your cha siu bao for. The drinks menu recently underwent a significant revamp and is full of winners thanks to the efforts of bar manager Masumi Tomioka and beverage specialist James Barker.
H Queen's
One of the newest additions to Hong Kong's art scene, H Queen's is a purpose-built 24-storey vertical art space in Central that houses eight world-class art galleries and auction houses, including the likes of David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth and Pearl Lam Galleries. Experience a new way to appreciate art at these massive (by Hong Kong standards) venues and enjoy plenty of large-scale installations that wouldn't fit in other locations. There are also plenty of fine dining eateries such as Arbour and Ecriture (pictured) to enjoy afterwards.
icon-location-pin Lan Kwai Fong
Notorious for drunken debauchery, this area needs no introduction. Lan Kwai Fong is Hong Kong's ground zero for partying. There are more than 90 restaurants and bars packed into the neighbourhood, from classy high-end joints such as Dragon-i to pubs that are more rough around the edges. The place to go – or avoid – come Friday and Saturday nights.
Lin Heung Tea House
More than a century old and residing in a traditional two-storey tong lau, Lin Heung is one of the few remaining tea houses to serve dim sum via pushcart, complete with vintage hanging fans and birdcages everywhere. Head over there to sample its famous and authentic dishes – especially the lotus seed buns and steamed pork sui mai with quail eggs.
Little Bao
Helmed by local chef May Chow – Asia's best female chef 2017 – Little Bao is a small open kitchen eatery that serves up Chow's trademark bao buns stuffed with fillings like braised pork belly, pickles and leeks. Aside from the eponymous speciality, the restaurant also does great small plates like its short rib pan-fried dumplings and truffle fries. Be sure to leave room for the signature dessert, too: a green tea ice cream bao served with condensed milk.
Mana! Fast Slow Food
On the lookout for some clean eating and delicious vegetarian fare? Mana is a cool, rustic eatery that offers vegetarian and vegan-friendly food like its custom flatbreads and famous tofu burger. All the food is served in plant-based and biodegradable containers. There's a patio upstairs if you're keen to sit down but most customers just grab-and-go.
Home to what many claim is the best – not to mention the most expensive – char siu in Hong Kong, Mott 32 is a high-end Cantonese restaurant that serves up high-quality local dishes with Western tweaks. While the restaurant isn't exactly wallet-friendly, the food and ambience are well worth it.
Bars and pubs, Hotel bars
PDT (Please Don't Tell)
Speakeasies may be a tired trend but PDT is a damn good cocktail bar all the same. As the Hong Kong outlet of the once 'best bar in the world', the menu here offers a mix of PDT standards from New York, including the Benton Old Fashioned, as well as originals designed specifically for Hong Kong. Snack on upscale bar nibbles courtesy of Richard Ekkebus of Amber.
Peel Fresco Music Lounge
One of Central's most vibrant live music venues, Lan Kwai Fong's Peel Fresco hosts regular jam sessions featuring a stream of talented jazz, blues, rock and latin bands that have no cover charge. Just buy a drink or two to support these sorts of institutions and to help keep the music free.

Abbie and I shared some chocolate covered strawberries tonight. I'm not sure who liked them more, her or me. She definitely made the bigger mess though.
Mark's brother was here this past weekend and today Abbie started crying during dinner for apparently no reason at all. I asked her what was wrong and she said "Uncle Ryan gone." ??? Really? I thought it was cute but sad at the same time. Abbie is ALL about her Uncle Ryan. When Uncle Ryan is around, everyone else is pretty much chopped liver.
Abbie loves her new lizard shirt from Barcelona. It's a size 3/4, so it's too big for her, but she was asking about it non-stop so I got it out of the closet for her to wear and she was happy as a little clam after that.
I've been having the urge to quilt again lately, so I might try to work on one of my projects a little this week. I feel like I have SO much to do before I leave for the States, although, for about the 4th time, those plans are up in the air again. I'm discovering it's difficult to decide what to take and what to leave when going away from your house and all your belongings for 6 months. I've been making lists for a month now of things I'd like to take, but I'm still on the fence about a few things. Like my quilting stuff? I would love to quilt while I'm home and my mom has a machine I can use. So do I take my fabric that I have for projects, or just buy fabric there to work with? I've been buying things to keep Abbie occupied for the almost 13 hours of travel time to the States and trying to decide which of her toys to take and which to leave. The good thing is that whatever I forget I can just buy over there! I'm so excited!!
I tell ya, I don't think I could love that little girl more if she was my own flesh and blood. I think she knows that Uncle Ryan is wrapped around her finger. By the way I had a great time thanks again.
Where will all of your stuff go when you are in the States? All of your gypsy talk still has me worried. LOL.

The importance of understanding Eastern Christianity
by Anthony T. Dragani
For the past several years I have witnessed an ongoing crisis of identity within the Roman Catholic Church, which is evident even on the campus of Franciscan University. Often reduced to the battle between "Conservatives" versus "Progressives" or "Traditionalists" versus "Charismatics," the issues involved are multifaceted and complex. I have tried to make my own contribution to this debate, with varying degrees of success. Now I'd like to address it from a new perspective, i.e. as a kind of outsider, for that is indeed what I have become.
I am an Eastern Christian. While gladly submitting to the authority of the Pope, in my spiritual and liturgical life, I strive to live out the tradition of the great Eastern Fathers: Ss. Ireneaus, Nicholas, Basil, Gregory of Nyssa, Cyril, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, Cyril and Methodius, and many others. For those unacquainted with Eastern Christianity, we are the people responsible for all of the beautiful icons, such as Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which Western Christians sometimes venerate. Of course, there is a great deal more to us than just that.
Some Historical Background
Christianity originated in the East. Western Catholics should not lose sight of this fact. Jesus carried out his ministry in the Middle East, and most of the Apostles were martyred in the East. Even Ss. Peter and Paul established numerous churches throughout the East before dying in Rome. As Christianity grew and flourished, the churches planted by the Apostles in the East grew into the great Eastern Christian Tradition. It was in the East that the first seven Ecumenical Councils were held.
Unfortunately, due to political and geographic circumstances, a gradual estrangement developed between the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity. The Western Tradition, which was grounded in the theology of Western Fathers such as Ss. Augustine and Jerome, developed its own distinct theological perspective. The Western and Eastern branches of Christianity developed different forms of liturgy, spirituality, ecclesiology and theology. Nevertheless, both sides were fully "Catholic," and remained united as one Church for a thousand years. The Eastern and Western Fathers approached theological and ecclessiological issues in very different, yet complementary ways (see the Vatican II Decree on Ecumenism, nos. 14-18.) This was the era of unified Christianity when, as Pope John Paul has said, "the Church breathed with both lungs."
Tragically, due to political, linguistic, and theological difficulties, unity was ruptured between East and West in the middle of the Eleventh Century. As the famous Roman Catholic theologian Yves Congar has frequently emphasized, this breach was the result of a progressive estrangement, as the Eastern and Western clergy and laity knew increasingly less about one another. This situation was exacerbated by the "Roman Catholic" pillage of Constantinople in 1204, which was in reality orchestrated by greedy Italian merchants, although some Western bishops unscrupulously benefited from the conquest (cf. After Nine Hundred Years: the Background of the Schism Between the Eastern and Western Churches, by Yves Congar, O.P.)
Throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, large groups of Eastern Christians re-established communion with Rome, and organized themselves as Eastern Catholic Churches. These Eastern Catholics in no way saw themselves as abandoning their Eastern heritage, but as re-establishing communion with Rome as it existed during the first millenium. Hence, we have the vast array of Eastern Catholic Churches, which are sometimes erroneously referred to as "rites." In reality, they are particular Churches with their own hierarchies, spiritualities, and theological perspectives. The Catechism of the Catholic Church summarizes this nicely:
"From the beginning, this one Church has been marked by a great diversity which comes from both the variety of God's gifts and the diversity of those who receive them… Holding a rightful place in the communion of the Church there are also particular Churches that retain their own traditions. The great richness of such diversity is not opposed to the Church's unity" (CCC no. 814).
According to the Constitution of the Church, Lumen Gentium, the Catholic Church is actually a "communion" of Churches, composed of particular Churches such as the Melkite, Byzantine, Ukrainian, Roman, Maronite, and many others, with the Pope of Rome serving as the guardian of unity (LG 13). To refer to these Churches as "rites," although usually done with the best of intentions, is today inaccurate and somewhat misleading.
I am a member of the Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh. We are the only particular Eastern Catholic Church to be based out of North America, with our leader, Metropolitan Judson, residing in Pittsburgh. Although established initially by Eastern European immigrants, we now have countless members from all ethnic and racial backgrounds. We are no longer an "ethnic" Church, but an American Church that proudly lives out our Eastern Catholic heritage.
The Eastern Alternative
Since the split of the eleventh century, despite the reunion of numerous Eastern Catholic Churches, the Roman Catholic populace has been largely unaware of Eastern Christianity. To many in the Western world, Christianity is composed of Protestants and Roman Catholics; they are not even aware that there is an entirely distinctive and legitimate Eastern tradition.
Nonetheless, by Divine Providence, there has always been an elite circle of Roman Catholic theologians and Popes who were well acquainted with the Eastern Churches. Among them is our own Pope John Paul II, who in his wonderful apostolic letter, The Light of the East, affirms that "the venerable and ancient tradition of the Eastern Churches is an integral part of the heritage of Christ's Church" (OL 1, emphasis mine). This saintly Pontiff exhorts all Roman Catholics to become acquainted with the Eastern Tradition (OL 24). He especially calls for "appropriate teaching on these subjects in seminaries and theological faculties, especially to future priests" (OL 24).
Although millions of Eastern Catholics are currently in communion with Rome, there are over 300 million Eastern Orthodox Christians who are still separated from the Pope. These Orthodox Christians are identical to Eastern Catholics in almost every way, and also have the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. The Catechism teaches that a certain communion does exist between Catholics and non-Catholic Christians, and that "with the Orthodox Churches, this communion is so profound that it lacks little to attain the fullness that would permit a common celebration of the Lord's Eucharist," (CCC 838).
A re-establishment of communion between Catholics and Eastern Orthodox has been a top priority of the last several Popes. Pope John Paul II has recognized the Orthodox and Catholics as "sister Churches," and has taught that the goal of dialogue with the Orthodox is "perfect, total communion which will be neither absorption nor fusion but encounter in truth and love," (Declaration of the joint International Commission for theological dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, no. 14; cf. Slavorum Gentes, I., 27.)
The re-establishment of unity between Orthodox and Catholics was an important goal of the Second Vatican Council, which laid a good foundation for reunion in its documents (cf. The Decree on Ecumenism, no. 18.) Father John Meyendorff, a well-respected Eastern Orthodox theologian, made the following observation concerning Vatican II in his book Rome, Constantinople, Moscow:
The council documents, without solving all the problems, reaffirmed an ecclesiology based on the local Eucharistic community; a theology of the episcopate, focused on conciliarity; a conception of the laity as the "people of God." All these were common ground for a dialogue with the Orthodox Church… The rapprochement with Orthodoxy—which undoubtedly was among the basic conciliar motivations—was swamped by a kind of new triumphalism of "modernity," through which the (Roman Catholic) Church tended to lose its identity… As these dramatic processes were developing, the Orthodox Church appeared remote and irrelevant to most Western Christians. Its theological witness was too weak to be heard. Only some specialists were aware of the Orthodox alternative to Western trends. This absence of Orthodoxy was, in fact, as tragic as in the time of the sixteenth-century Reformation, when its presence would have helped to transcend the dichotomy between Rome and Protestantism. (Meyendorff, 1-2).
Many of the major changes in the Roman Catholic Church initiated by Vatican II were actually modeled after the practice of Eastern Christians: communion under both species, liturgy in the vernacular, permanent deacons, standing while receiving communion, a free-standing altar (apart from the wall), and increased participation by the laity in the Liturgy have all been the norm in Eastern Christianity for two thousand years. The Fathers of Vatican II were consciously borrowing from Eastern Christianity when they mandated these changes. (The great liturgical movement, which resulted in Sacrosanctum Concilium, was largely inspired by a renewed interest in the liturgy of the Eastern Churches. (See Klaus Gamber, Reform of the Roman Liturgy. Harrison, NY: Una Voce, 1993. p. 4.)
It is in the matter of liturgical change that the lack of familiarity with the East is most tragic. In the ongoing liturgy wars occurring in the Roman Church, neither side, whether "progressive" or "traditional," is usually well acquainted with Eastern Christianity. Yet it was largely from the Eastern Christians that the Fathers of Vatican II received their vision for a renewed liturgy. Before Vatican II, in the Roman Church, the liturgy was full of beautiful sights and sounds, such as incense, chant, ornate vestments, bells, and visual images galore. But there was an acute problem, which troubled the Fathers: there was virtually no participation by the congregation. The priest performed the liturgy, but the people sat in the pews as mere spectators. Often the laity prayed the Rosary or read meditations during Mass, with little understanding of what was occurring in the sanctuary.
In the Christian East, in contrast, the laity participate actively and vocally in the Divine Liturgy. The entire liturgy is sung from beginning to end, with responses constantly going back and forth between the priest and the congregation. The laity are expected to sing all of the responses, which virtually never cease. There is never a time in the Eastern Divine Liturgy in which the congregation is a mere spectator (apart from the homily); the participation by the laity throughout the liturgy is continuous. Nonetheless, despite all of this participation by the congregation, all of the "traditional" elements of Christian liturgy remain present: the priest faces East together with the people, incense is used in abundance, icons and elaborate vestments please the eyes, and beautiful chant pleases the ears. It is a complete sensory experience. So here, in the Eastern Liturgy, we have the traditional elements that so many "traditionalists" long for, and the active participation that many "progressives" and "Charismatics" crave. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
Pope John Paul II praises the Eastern Divine Liturgy "for involving the human person in his or her totality," (OL 11). He comments on how "the lengthy duration of the celebrations, the repeated invocations, everything expresses gradual identification with the mystery celebrated with one's whole person. Thus the prayer of the Church already becomes participation in the heavenly liturgy, an anticipation of the final beatitude," (OL 11). Of course the Eastern Christian tradition has far more to offer the West than a mere model of liturgy. Western Christians could also benefit greatly from exposure to Eastern Christian theology, ecclesiology, spirituality, and culture.
My Challenge to Franciscan University and Sister Colleges
Since my arrival at the campus of Franciscan University, I have been blessed with many wonderful opportunities. The school is truly a center of Roman Catholic renewal, with an overall excellent faculty, staff and student body. I have been deeply enriched by the positive spiritual climate present on campus. Nonetheless, I desire to see Franciscan University become a center of "Catholic" renewal in the truly universal sense, in which the future leaders of the Roman Catholic Church become acquainted with what the Pope calls "the spiritual treasures of which the Eastern Catholic Churches are the bearers," (OL 21).
Catholicism is far more than merely the Roman Church, and the "tradition of the Eastern Churches is an integral part of the heritage of Christ's Church," (OL 1). With numerous Eastern Catholic parishes nearby, and a large and dynamic Byzantine Catholic community in Pittsburgh, Franciscan University has every opportunity to acquaint its students with the fullness of the Catholic Church. In summary, I am challenging the entire university community, out of a spirit of love and gratitude, to meditate on this exhortation by our Holy Father:
...conversion is also required of the Latin Church, that she may respect and fully appreciate the dignity of Eastern Christians, and accept gratefully the spiritual treasures of which Eastern Catholic Churches are the bearers, to the benefit of the entire catholic communion; that she may show concretely, far more than in the past, how much she esteems and admires the Christian East and how essential she considers its contribution to the full realization of the Church's universality. (OL 21).

Q: How to implement heatmap? I want to implement heatmap for our site based on our own site logs, but do not how to implement it.
My current idea is to generate an image within the click percentage as the background image.
I'd like to know whether there're some other mature solutions for heatmap implementation

A: For a proper heat map, see Recording user data for heatmap with JavaScript.
Here is a list of a few third-party options.
For something a bit different, Google Analytics provides a similar feature called In-Page Analytics which replaced the Site Overlay feature.

A: Finally, I find that html overlay may be a proper solution for me.

A: There is always the data-driven documents, D3.js, a JavaScript library. Worth checking it out :)

Q: google structured data testing tool displays question mark character instead of utf-8 characters After testing URL in the google structured data testing tool, I don't know why the question mark character is shown instead of utf-8 characters?
what is wrong? any help really appreciated.
the url is : link
and the result image:

The underlying json is:

A: don't know why, but the structured data tool doesn't understand your farsi. If farsi is an encoded javascript, like \u0645\u0648\u0633\u0633\u0647 - there is no problem. But if it is written like علائم تیروئید کم کار - something wired happens.
Fast and dirty solution: encode all of your structured data content as encoded javascript. In Notepad++ this makes a plugin named HTML Tag - then ctrl+j.
