Q: Selenium locator xpath not working for particular button I'm looking for a working locator to address a button on a web page.
"Inspecting element" in the code I see :
<input class="ruButton ruBrowse" tabindex="-1" value="Select & Upload File" style="border: 0px dotted;" type="button">

Copying outerhtml I have :
<input tabindex="-1" value="Select & Upload File" class="ruButton ruBrowse" style="border: 0px dotted;" type="button">

I tried the following as xpath locators but these are not OK - I'd like to understand why :
//input[@value='Select & Upload File']
//input[@value='Select & Upload File']

This locator is OK :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@class,'ruButton ruBrowse') and contains(@type,'button')]")).click();

More details on error log :

driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@value,'Select') and contains (@value,'Upload File')]")).click();

Thank you !

A: For what it's worth, I've had trouble in the past with using text that has ampersand(s) inside as well.  My solution is to use contains instead of "=" and only provide part of the value text, however, this might not be sufficient since there could conceivably be some other element that contains "Upload File" for example.  My solution in this case, assuming that the locator as-is is incorrect, would be the following locator:
//input[contains(@value,'Select') and contains(@value,'Upload File')]

it could also substitute the 'contains' with 'starts-with' and 'ends-with' correspondingly.


The word "we". We use it a lot. It gets a lot of comments, especially when people know Twisted Willow Fabrication is mainly a one man shop. Comments like, "how many people do you have working for you?", "do you have partners?", "you have a mouse in your pocket?" There's a lot going on with that little word. I want to take a moment to comment on this little word, and yes, I did mean to use "I" in this sentence.
Beware of the person marching around using "I" all the time. We (you and I) see it often. We have seen it in a big way with our recent elections. Statements like, "I'm the only one who can do it" or "I alone can do it". These are flags that should serve as warnings. No one does anything alone. No one is an island, no one is self-made. We are all affected by those who came before us. We are also affected, in good ways and bad, by the people in our lives. Those we work with or work for, the work of those we follow, those who have taught us, those who have raised us, technology we have used and improve on. We take all these ingredients, good and bad, and become who we are.
Business is no different, and it became apparent to me a few years ago when we had a business attorney set up Twisted Willow Fabrication LLC. From the start our attorney was testing and correcting us when we used the word "I". In a corporation or LLC there is no owner. "I" can infer there is an owner, and therefore places legal limits on that corporation or LLC if someone wants to challenge them. You have to speak carefully when dealing with people and sign documents with a title tagged on to the end of your name. You have to be careful in this litigious world. We were tested often by the attorney.
There was a joke that I had a split personality because I became many different people overnight with the formation of Twisted Willow Fabrication LLC. But then that got me thinking. There's much more than the formation of a business going on here. This business is actually a "we". That "we" starts with my wife of 32 years. The beautiful Mandy Lu believes so strongly in me that she went along with remortgaging our paid off home to start this business, and to use our savings. She has taken over the bookwork and she's been involved in making sales. I do realize what she's done and I've even asked myself if I would have done the same for her. So legitimately, without business law, Twisted Willow Fabrication started as a "we". But it builds from there.
We live in Western New York in farm country. Our area is not zoned for a fabrication shop. While the town to the north of us reacted negatively to our proposal to start our business there, our own Town of Groveland was very welcoming to the business. We went through the zoning process and received a variance. People we do business with or people with their own businesses started giving us advice. Each person gave us only one piece of advice. It was the most important advice they could think to give us. It was almost like a storybook character who receives advice from other characters to successfully complete his journey. That advice was not taken lightly.
Our webpage master, Jeremiah Craig, built our webpage and maintains it. Jeremiah has a degree in business, specializing in advertising and public relations and social media. Our webpage has brought Twisted Willow Fabrication business from residential and commercial customers, including a 20 year old specialty equipment company. This company also brought us a branch company. We have been building the metal portion of the equipment these companies produce. That equipment has gone to other states. We are presently doing the metalwork for a specialized piece of equipment that will be going to Europe. This is a huge honor for us.
Let's not forget the companies that build the equipment that Twisted Willow Fabrication uses. The technology of these very good companies has allowed the little Twisted Willow Fabrication to do what only the big businesses could do in the past. Inverter based welders and plasma cutters and CNC plasma cutting. Punching, pressing, bending, shearing and rolling. Companies like Miller, Hypertherm, Torchmate, Edwards and Jet. More local companies like Klein Steel and Mahany Welding not only take good care of us, they provide a great business example to a newer company like Twisted Willow Fabrication. All the people and business mentioned are part of that Twisted Willow "we".
We could not be Twisted Willow Fabrication without the customer. We can invest as much as we like into the business, but it is nothing without the customer. We have been honored to do the work we have done so far, and we've had a great experience with our customers. We thank you all. You are part of the Twisted Willow "we".

Understanding the Molecular Mechanisms of the CRISPR Toolbox Using Single Molecule Approaches
Digvijay Singh, Taekjip Ha, ACS Chemical Biology (2018).
10.1021/acschembio.7b00905
Adaptive immunity against foreign genetic elements conferred by the CRISPR systems in microbial species has been repurposed as a revolutionary technology for wide-ranging biological applications-chiefly genome engineering. Biochemical, structural, genetic, and genomics studies have revealed important insights into their function and mechanisms, but most ensemble studies cannot observe structural changes of these molecules during their function and are often blind to key reaction intermediates. Here, we review the use of single molecule approaches such as fluorescent particle tracking, FRET, magnetic tweezers, and atomic force microscopy imaging in improving our understanding of the CRISPR toolbox.

The terms Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Innovative Entrepreneurship can be considered as a three-tier sandwich with three distinct layers and each layer being different from the adjacent one. The layers are neither identical nor miscible. So, each holds a different meaning altogether. Let's deal with them separately and then later in differences.
But is that all to innovation?
Innovation is like opening a whole new dimension towards perceiving everything at new angles. It's like unlocking the doors of untapped and untouched solutions against existing challenges. But keep in mind that Innovation is NOT Imagination; they are not even remotely related. Although, a lot of imagination is involved while innovating random things, still, both are poles apart.
It's much more than just setting up random businesses.
It's also about making corporate allies & friends in the highly competitive marketplace; allies that will help you in tackling multiple risks. Entrepreneurship incorporates all the characteristics of a businessman, data scientist, fact – finder, manager, notes – taker, leader, motivator, smart worker and analyst. Mathematically writing, it is a Power Set of all the above. Entrepreneurship cashes the opportunities of job creation, simultaneous to the business expansion.
One might think of it to be a balanced mixture of the two words forming the complete term; but, it holds more meaning to it than what appears in a straightforward manner.
Refinery29 or R29; an American global women's media company that covers fashion, style & culture for women… especially plus-sized women!
R29 (along with Getty Images) started the 67% Project considering the survey report that found this many American women to be plus-sized but seldom featured anywhere. So, R29 decided to showcase such women as they are in real life.
Airbnb; an enterprise that acts as a platform for hosts to make money by opening their homes to welcome travelers & visitors.
Now, it has expanded its services. Now, users can look for activities based on their passion for traveling abroad.
Giphy; a one-stop destination for people looking to season their social media posts with GIFs.
This GIF-providing portal is integrated into many social media platforms. Next level innovation is Giphy Studios for creating original animated content.
musical.ly; an App that makes it easy to create music videos by allowing users to lip sync with songs by popular artists.
Recently, a live streaming platform – live.ly has been launched where music lovers will be given a live experience to broadcast. musical.ly has more than 135 million users around the globe.
These examples inform the budding entrepreneurs that not only one has to think innovatively, but innovative work culture also has to be embedded within the enterprise.
It does NOT fear bankruptcy but faces fears like allies.
Nearly all successful entrepreneurship and business ventures have faced financial crunches. But, the advantage with innovative entrepreneurship is that challenges like this are welcomed with open arms. No cribbing and frustrating behavior is allowed to overwhelm the solution finding capacity. Few pros for it are – heightened awareness and unbreakable commitment to survive at all costs.
Doesn't wait for things to break.
So, precautionary measures are always a priority and thus things get constantly fixed & iterated. Rather waiting for a problem to surface and then find a solution, the idea to not let the problem even exist in the first place is followed.
Observes patterns everywhere… every time.
Innovative Entrepreneurship has leaders that observe opportunities, connections, hidden potentials, untapped resources in almost everything. They are in the continuous observance mode. A strong perception towards approaching things differently comes naturally to them.
Follows a never-ending pursuit of multiple streams.
Nurturing multiple interests simultaneously is the marked – sign of an Innovative Entrepreneurship. Alternative interests overlap and exist in a perpetual survival realm where they feed off of each other but never cease to subsist. Running multiple projects simultaneously gives the business less pressure of failure in any one venture (because you can still celebrate the success of 2-3 other ones).
While Innovative Entrepreneurship will ALWAYS have an Innovative Entrepreneur leading the organization; the same is not always true for innovation in entrepreneurship.
Risk – related solutions and strategies are MORE comprehensive in Innovative Entrepreneurship; while innovation in entrepreneurship might only be limited to the financial & geographical growth prospects of the business.
Confidence & risk – tacking / tackling ability is GREATER in Innovative Entrepreneurship; while innovation in entrepreneurship focuses majorly on increased production, market presence & new ideas for advertising & branding.
Multiple interests and streams are valued & executed SIMULTANEOUSLY in an Innovative Entrepreneurship; while innovation in entrepreneurship might not always work on the pipeline procedure of operation.
Paradoxical thinking is APPRECIATED in an Innovative Entrepreneurship; while innovation in entrepreneurship mostly avoids opposing ideas but selects the optimum best for the business or in other words, welcomes least risks.
Thus, be it Innovative Entrepreneurship or Innovation in Entrepreneurship, both are choices to make according to the requirement and need of the market & business. The real catch is to choose & implement wisely because when you realize about making the wrong choice, time might not be ripe or adequate to start from a scratch again..!

Probably the last cross-country news of the winter from the All Sussex Primary Schools races. In the boys race of about 130 runners Ollie Dallas came an excellent 3rd with Ben Aubrey just behind in 4th place. Very well done to them both.
We are approaching the time of year when our training patterns change. This coming Tuesday March 10th will be the last circuits session of the winter in the Imberhorne gym – the following Tuesday sees outdoor training for all of our athletes with the younger athletes starting 7 pm and the older athletes by about 7.30. We will then be training on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the spring and summer.
The warm sunshine at East Court training on Sunday morning certainly suggested that summer wasn't too far away. We have one more Sunday morning session at East Court before moving to Imberhorne for a few Sundays before the summer season gets under way.
And a reminder to existing members that you need to renew your membership by April 1st. Best way is to pay Jane Clark at one of the March training sessions.
Tuesday March 10 –circuits session at Imberhorne school gym for invited athletes. Meet 7.25 for a prompt start. Last session of the winter.
Thursday March 12 – training for all at Imberhorne from 7pm.
Saturday March 14 –long/triple jump training at Imberhorne from 10.
Saturday March 14 –Academy training at Imberhorne from 10.30.
Sunday March 15 – training at East Court from 10.30 to 11.45. Last East Court session of the winter. Next week at Imberhorne.

Stretch and boost confidence with this snowga practice before strapping on your board or skis.
Yoga—notwithstanding its roots in steamy India—is a great way to condition your body and mind for the slopes, says certified professional ski instructor Anne Anderson, whether you're skiing or snowboarding. Anderson, who is also a Kripalu-trained yoga teacher, started adding yogic breathing techniques to her downhill skiing classes about seven years ago. She immediately noticed that her students were more confident when approaching the slopes: "Once I started adding yoga to the lessons, students progressed much more quickly."
These days, Anderson's skiing lessons include a practice she calls "Snowga," in which ski-booted students do 15 minutes of simple meditation, pranayama, and asana before stepping into their skis. Doing yoga before skiing, she says, means a better experience on the slopes: "The mind becomes calm. The body gets warmed up and is less prone to strain or injury."
Anderson suggests limbering up before hitting the slopes with six movements of the spine: Cat-Cow Pose, for flexing forward and arching the back; a side-to-side C-shape; and a twist to each side. From there, she says, practice postures that build strength and enhance balance and flexibility, particularly in the knees and hips. Utkatasana (Chair Pose), she says, is essential. It gets the lower body comfortable with the bent-knee, flexed-ankle position that is the downhill skier's default stance. And it strengthens the quads so that they can protect the knees.
Cultivates internal focus and awareness of body alignment.
Strengthens quads, glutes, and calves and promotes ankle flexion.
Opens the chest and builds strength in the lower body.
Promotes balance and strengthens core muscles.

Cumberland River Exhibit Opens in Clarksville.
The 18-painting show of Larry's Cumberland River series opened at the Customs House Museum in Clarksville (TN) on May 12. Scenes of the Cumberland River and surrounding landscape range geographically from the Ohio River upstream to Cumberland Falls. The show will be in Clarksville until July 31. The museum is open Tuesday (10-5) through Sunday (1-5). Images may be viewed at http://www.cumberlandriverartist.com/.
Coal Train From Harlan County is Larry's latest painting in the Cumberland River series. Research for the scene took place last fall in eastern Kentucky where coal mining has been a way of life for over a century. Coal trains haul their bituminous load along the Cumberland River where it is too shallow for barges to navigate. This painting and other scenes of the upper Cumberland will appear in future exhibits that are scheduled for later this year.

Why Harrah's Loyalty Effort Is Industry's Gold Standard
October 5, 2009: summarized from AdAge.com -- Total Rewards, which was rolled out as Total Gold in 1997 and renamed Total Rewards a year later, is heralded by many as the gold standard of customer-relationship programs. And with the program generating $6.4 billion yearly, or 80% of its gaming revenue, Harrah's is confident where it ranks among competitors as well. "It's certainly the best program in the gaming industry and, more broadly, in loyalty," said David Norton, chief marketing officer.
David Frankland, principal analyst at Forrester, frequently cites Harrah's, along with Disney and 1-800 Flowers, as the industry's leading examples of how loyalty programs should be run. Mr. Frankland said one reason for the program's effectiveness is that Harrah's has a customer insights and intelligence culture that starts at the top with President-CEO Gary Loveman and Mr. Norton.
"In every company we see running really strong loyalty programs, it's always driven from the top down," Mr. Frankland said.
Mr. Norton said the company communicates with its members regularly via 250 million non-acquisition pieces of mail a year; good customers can receive as many as 150 pieces of mail a year from one or all of its hotels. Harrah's sends nearly 8 million e-mails collectively to its loyalty members in a month. Harrah's average response rate for direct mail is in the high single digits. The company's belief in its loyalty program is so steadfast that it cut its traditional ad spending from 2008 and 2009 more than 50%. The company spent $106 million on measured media in 2008; for the first half of last year it spent $52 million and in this year's first half $20 million.
Mr. Frankland said Harrah's isn't only measuring things such as direct response, click-throughs and open rates. "The most-sophisticated firms also think about business metrics, like revenue, customer profitability and customer value, and how they are all linked.
Mr. Norton said it's a mixture of good customized messaging and a strong loyalty program that sets Harrah's program apart. (The program is powered by SAS's predictive-analysis program and Unica's marketing management software.) "Airlines have good loyalty programs but don't do as much customized marketing," he said. "Then you have someone like Capital One who is sophisticated on the direct-mail front but doesn't have a good loyalty program. We have managed to do both well."
Over the years Harrah's has made significant changes to the program based on the data and research it does with its customers. Last year one of those changes included adding the ability to track and reward non-gaming spending, which has allowed it to better entice people who don't view themselves as big gamblers. "We wanted to make it relevant to them as well because they could spend a couple of hundred dollars on a room, the spa, food and shows and not be treated any better than a $50-a-day customer," Mr. Norton said.
Going forward Harrah's is looking to take its program mobile and is working on a dozen or so early stage programs. "Ultimately," Mr. Norton said, "we see it as a great device for two-way interaction."

It seems like everything and everyone rises to the top once they are associated with Usain Bolt, and the sprinter's agent Ricky Simms is not immune.
Simms, who is also a director at Pace Sports Management in the United Kingston, represents athletes who won five gold medals and two bronze medals at the recently concluded World Championships in Berlin, Germany, spikesmag.com reports.
In addition to Bolt, who won two individual gold medals at the meet in the 100-metre and 200-metre sprints, as well as another as a member of the Jamaican 4×100-metres relay squad that ran the second-fastest time ever, Simms also represents Kenyan duo Vivian Cheruiyot and Linet Masai, who took the women's 5000m and 10,000m titles, respectively. Great Britain's Phillips Idowu, who struck gold in the men's triple jump, is also represented by Simms….Read More

Staffordshire County Scouts have a pretty much-unrivalled reputation when it comes to training. This is all down to the excellent character of the training team who work exceptionally hard to make all the courses a success. Don't be put off by the thought of training, the courses are FUN, and you'll get to meet people that you will stay in contact with for years.
There will be no difficult questions for you to answer, no tests at the end of the course, you don't even have to take notes if you don't want to – it's all about participation and learning from those around you.
Why not take the plunge and take the next step in your training… you'll probably enjoy it!!
The adult training scheme is a flexible, modular based system, which gives leaders the opportunity to achieve their learning by different means and at their own pace. For example some adults prefer to go on training courses, whereas others have difficulty giving up weekends and would prefer to learn at home using an e-learning package or from experienced leaders in their District or Group.
After an adult applies to become a leader and is issued with a Provisional Appointment, they will work with a Training Adviser (TA). The TA will help the leader to decide which modules they need to take in order to complete their training and will support them through their training. This acknowledges that some new leaders will already have skills to bring to scouting because of their work or previous time in scouting and avoids unnecessary duplication of training. The provision of a TA is organised by a local co-ordinator known as the Local Training Manager (LTM). The details of which LTM is responsible for each district are given on the training contacts page of this web site. The LTM is also involved in organising the provision of training opportunities for leaders in the county along with the County Training Manager who has overall responsibility for training of leaders in Staffordshire.
Training must be completed within 3 years and also includes an element of ongoing learning (5 hours per year), so that leaders can continue to acquire new skills once they have earned their Wood Badge. The different modules will be delivered in different ways, some through County wide courses which are planned to offer a geographical spread and to cover all modules required for a woodbadge.
Fill in the course application form – available either from your TA or on the resource page, making sure that you note down the dates of the courses you are applying for. Courses are mainly residential and generally will include some element of training in the evenings. Make sure that the form is complete and then send it to Helen Wilcox the County Secretary.
The cost of all training courses is included in the annual County levy – the only extra will be £10 to cover the cost of food that is supplied on residential courses.
If you have any queries about how to apply for training or what training you have to undertake, please speak to your LTM.

Subletting and unlawful profit orders
Dorota Pawlowski
In the recent case of Poplar Housing and Regeneration Community Association v (1) Begum (2) Rohim [2017] the High Court overturned a Suspended Possession Order and gave guidance on the making of unlawful profit orders.
Ms Begum and Mr Rohim were the assured tenants of a two-bed flat which they occupied with their children. Having received a tip off that they were sub-letting, Poplar Housing and Regeneration Community Association Limited ("the Landlord") decided to visit the flat. They found that the Defendants were living at Ms Begum's mother's house with their children, which they admitted but later denied.
They also admitted they had allowed a couple to occupy the flat who informed investigating officers that they paid the Defendants £400 rent per month. They had access to the entire flat apart from one bedroom which contained the Defendants' belongings. These items were kept there in order to give the impression that the Defendants were living at the flat.
Shortly after this, the Second Defendant went to his flat, unlawfully evicted his sub-tenants, threatened to burn their clothes and demanded his keys back.
Upon being arrested, the First Defendant stated that she had only stayed with her mother the night before in order to look after her ill brother. The Second Defendant gave a "no comment" interview but said to officers afterwards "we'll see who laughs last when the case goes to court".
The Defendants moved back to the flat and the Landlord commenced possession proceedings upon Grounds 10, 12 and 14, as well as having served a notice to quit. Before the matter came to trial, the police raided the flat and found the Second Defendant in possession of cannabis and drug dealing paraphernalia.
At the trial, the Recorder found that the Defendants had not parted with possession of the whole flat as they had retained one bedroom. However, he found that they had sublet part of the flat and made a suspended possession order but he refused to make an unlawful profit order. The reasoning was that the Defendants had moved in with the First Defendant's mother to care for her brother and as the Defendants were paying more for the flat than they were receiving from their sub-tenants, they had not made a profit.
The Landlord appealed and argued that the Recorder's discretion had been seriously flawed. His decision to suspend the possession order was contrary to the public interest and was wrong. His decision not to make an unlawful profit order was flawed because the Defendants had in fact made a profit.
On appeal, the High Court Judge was satisfied that the Recorder's decision had been fatally flawed and held that it was not acceptable to allow "profiteering fraudsters" to occupy premises thus excluding "deserving families". He therefore substituted an outright possession order for the suspended one and made an unlawful profit order, finding that as the Defendants were in receipt of housing benefit they were not paying anything for their property.
This is a rare case where an Appeal Judge has interfered with the discretion of a Trial Judge but in circumstances where the Recorder had, in the Appeal Judge's findings, fallen for the lies of the Defendants.

Fiat Chrysler stays "in the game", by continuing to introduce an upgraded lineup of Jeep SUVs and crossovers. I drove the second generation Jeep Compass, which is outperforming and outselling the previous generation model.
The 2018 Jeep Compass, which was redesigned in 2017, is positioned between its larger sibling the Grand Cherokee, and the smaller Jeep Renegade.
The pearl red 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4×4 that I tested has a fresh new appearance, advanced technology, and improved on- and off-road capability. It is powered by a 2.4-liter I4 engine that generates 180 horsepower and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Crossovers, like the Jeep Compass, are outselling sedans now that they are competitively priced, have car-like performance and the ride height of a small SUV. The Compass also averages 22 mpg city and 30 highway.
By August 2018, sales of the new Compass were up 75.6% with over 116,149 delivered compared to 79,511 for the previous model during the same period, according to Wards Auto.
The Compass Trailhawk is also loaded with standard equipment, including off-road suspension, a select terrain system, select park brake, hill descent control, speed sensitive power locks, rear back-up camera, and advanced multistage front airbrakes.
Interior features include the Fiat Chrysler Uconnect with a 8.4 inch display, Google Android and Apple CarPlay, leather wrapped steering wheels , 6 speakers, and more.
Optional equipment can include a cold weather package, heated front seats, advanced safety and lighting, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, cross detection, and GPS navigation.
The base price on the 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4×4 is $28,795 MSRP. The price as tested was $34,910 MSRP.

Mar. 16, 2016, 12:20 p.m.
President Obama's nomination of federal appeals court Judge Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court led some pundits to declare that Republicans would be hard-pressed to oppose him. But as Republicans and conservative groups made abundantly clear within minutes of the announcement, the issue isn't who got nominated. It's who did the nominating.
"Nominee Makes No Difference," as the Concerned Women for America put it succinctly in the headline of its news release Wednesday morning. "This nomination will upset the balance of the Supreme Court to the radical left for many decades. Such a seismic shift in the highest court of the land must be presented to the people," said Penny Nance, the group's president.
Granted, when you're standing where Nance is standing, anyone to the left of John Kasich looks radical. But the polarization around this issue could put Republican senators in a no-win position.
Mar. 16, 2016, 3:34 p.m.
The stubborn refusal of Senate Republicans to consider any Supreme Court nominee offered by President Obama would be outrageous, regardless of whom the president selected to succeed Justice Antonin Scalia. But Obama's announcement Wednesday that he will nominate Merrick Garland, a moderate federal appeals court judge who has won bipartisan praise during a long and distinguished legal career, puts the Republicans' irresponsibility and cheap partisanship in even starker relief.
Garland, 63, is the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, on which he served with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who once said that "any time Judge Garland disagrees, you know you're in a difficult area."
Incredibly, Obama and Garland had barely finished a Rose Garden news conference before prominent Republicans reiterated that they would refuse to give Garland fair consideration. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) dusted off the specious argument that because Obama is in his final year as president, his exercise of his appointment power must be held hostage to the results of the November election. "Give the people a voice in the filling of this vacancy," McConnell pleaded.
Mar. 16, 2016, 1:53 p.m.
Perhaps the biggest supporting role in the Supreme Court nomination battle goes to Vice President Joe Biden, a veteran of these battles who is also known for his often-memorable lines.
President Obama relied on Biden as a regular sounding board throughout the process, one who was advocating a "consensus candidate," according to a person familiar with the process.
But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also has enlisted Biden to make the opposing case — for blocking the nominee.
Mar. 16, 2016, 1:17 p.m.
Mar. 16, 2016, 1:00 p.m.
When Merrick Garland attended Niles West High School in the late 1960s, he was the sort of young man who seemed destined for big things. He was valedictorian and head of the student council, the possessor of a long list of academic honors.
But as Garland tries to gain a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, classmate James Donenberg said his time on the school's debate team might prove to be the most relevant part of his past.
Mar. 16, 2016, 12:32 p.m.
I've selected a nominee who is widely recognized not only as one of America's sharpest legal minds, but someone who brings to his work a spirit of decency, modesty, integrity, even-handedness, and excellence. These qualities, and his long commitment to public service, have earned him the respect and admiration of leaders from both sides of the aisle.
Mar. 16, 2016, 11:42 a.m.
In saying he would refuse to consider Judge Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court, Sen. Ted Cruz attacked not President Obama, but his own GOP rival Donald Trump.
The conservative Texas presidential hopeful called Obama's pick for the court exactly the kind of "so-called 'moderate'" that Trump would choose as a compromise with Democrats.
"We cannot afford to lose the Supreme Court for generations to come by nominating or confirming someone that a deal maker like Donald Trump would support," Cruz said.
Mar. 16, 2016, 11:01 a.m.
While on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly blasted Senate Republican leaders for saying they wouldn't consider any Supreme Court nominee from President Obama in an election year.
She repeated those criticisms on Wednesday after Obama nominated federal judge Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia.
Mar. 16, 2016, 10:57 a.m.
By many measures, Judge Merrick Garland is what Washington calls a consensus nominee for the Supreme Court.
But the Senate's 76-23 vote to approve his confirmation to the District of Columbia Circuit Court in 1997 contained two notable dissents.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), now the Senate Majority Leader, and Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), now the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, were among the no votes.
Mar. 16, 2016, 10:41 a.m.
President Obama's choice for the Supreme Court is a highly credentialed, sober jurist who checks exactly none of the boxes drawn out by Democratic strategists who were hoping the pick might be useful in the November elections.
Merrick Garland is a white man from Chicago, a 63-year-old with a centrist record and a career story as neat as his shock of white hair.
As Obama said in the Rose Garden on Wednesday, though, he set aside "short-term expediency and narrow politics" to make his choice.

Q: How to keep multiple Paho MQTT Clients running as a service/daemon I want to implement a Paho MQTT Python Service which is always running, receiving and sending messages. If an error occurs in any instance it should restart.
I implemented two classes which each start a threaded network loop with paho's loop_start(). These classes then have some callback functions which call other classes and so on.
For now i have a simple Python script which calls the classes and loops:
from one import one
from two import two

import time

one()
two()

while True:
    if one.is_alive():
        print("one is still alive")
    else:
        print("one died - do something!")
    time.sleep(1)

And here my class "one":
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
import json

class one():
    def __init__(self):

        self.__client = mqtt.Client(client_id = "one")
        self.__client.connect("localhost", 1883)
        self.__client.subscribe("one")
        self.__client.on_connect = self.__on_connect
        self.__client.on_message = self.__on_message
        self.__client.on_disconnect = self.__on_disconnect
        self.__client.loop_start()

    def __on_connect(self, client, userdata, flags, rc):
        print("one: on_connect")

    def __on_disconnect(self, client, userdata, flags, rc):
        print("one: on_disconnect")

    def __on_message(self, client, userdata, message):

        str_message = message.payload.decode('utf-8')
        message = json.loads(str_message)
        print("one: on_message: " + str(message))

    def is_alive(self):
        return True

However - if I send a package which produces an error (a pickled message instead of json for example) my "is_alive"-function is still returning True but the paho-implementation is not responsive anymore. So no further messages are sent to on_message. So only a part of the class is still responsive!?
Class "two" is still responsive and the script is running in the "while True" still.
How do i properly check the functionality of such a class?

A: I think you have to build a checker method like class1.isAlive() which tells you if the class is waitng for requests. Also I think you have to build this in the while True loop and react than of failures.
Additionally, you could write your own event with a wait function. Wait is more CPU hungry but it is more responsive. See here for example. But it depends on your python version.

Brian Barr is a Chicago native that firmly believes Chicago is a good place to be from. He arrived in the Rogue Valley in 2001 after stops in Ohio, Virginia, Idaho, and Portland.
In 2019, Brian will have worked half of his life on the Rogue. He is most passionate about native fish conservation and has subjected people all over the United States, Mexico, and India to his enthusiasm on this topic. From his perspective, few things compare to watching native fish use pristine habitat (although native fish using restored habitat is pretty exciting, too).
He is very proud of his daughter (studying Transportation Design at Lawrence Technological Institute in Michigan), his wife (who recently started a consulting firm to site renewable energy and affordable housing developments), and the Great Greys (a competitive birding team in Jackson County, Oregon to which he sometimes contributes).
Anna has been with the Rogue River Watershed Council since 2016. She has a background in small business administration and an education in Environmental Biology. She grew up in a sailing family in the tiny state of Rhode Island and moved to Colorado in 1979 where she was captain of her high school color guard team, traveled to the Orange Bowl twice with the University of Colorado Buffaloes marching band, and served as an animal control officer relocating bears and porcupines among other wildlife from the downtown streets of Boulder, Colorado.
Anna transplanted to Grants Pass, Oregon in 2004 where she settled down to raise her two boys on a small horse farm. She enjoys her role in administration and finance at the Rogue River Watershed Council and doing her part to contribute to a healthy watershed for the next generation to come. In addition to a lifelong interest in the natural world, Anna enjoys hiking, canoeing, searching for interesting birds in her backyard and competing in combined driving carriage events with her Shetland pony, Jet.
Coming to work for the Rogue River Watershed Council in 2015 was a return to home, of sorts, for Donna, as she was the first coordinator of the Middle Rogue Watershed Council from 2000 to 2004.
As RRWC's outreach program manager, Donna is in charge of most of our written communication projects (e.g., newsletter, friends' update) and the go-to person for representing RRWC at various education and outreach events across our region.
Donna has spent all of her professional tenure working in the world of academia or non-profits, primarily focused on the human dimension side of natural resource management, rural community development, and organizational development.
Alexis joined the watershed council in February 2017 after working in salmon habitat restoration on the southern Oregon coast for the Coos Watershed Association for 3.5 years. She holds a B.S. in Environmental Science from the University of Kansas and an M.S. in Ecology from Oregon State University. Alexis brings 9 years of plant ecology and invasive species experience and 4 years of habitat restoration experience to the Rogue River Watershed Council. She loves restoring riparian areas and fish passage and loves having a career that gets her outside. She has worked for the Student Conservation Association, the Institute for Applied Ecology, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture and is excited to bring her watershed experience from the coast to the Rogue Valley. Alexis has been a resident of Oregon for almost 10 years and loves everything this state has to offer from the coast to the mountains to the desert. When not working, you can find Alexis exploring the valley, drinking wine or coffee on her porch with a good book, or finding a new recipe to try. Alexis focuses mainly on fish passage improvement in the Rogue Valley through small dam removal but she also manages some floodplain connection and streamside forest restoration projects.
John began with the Rogue River Watershed Council in August 2018. Most recently, he was the coordinator for the Middle Deschutes Watershed Council and the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program planner for Central Oregon. He holds an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies from Southern Oregon University and a Masters Degree in Natural Resources from Oregon State University. John brings 15 years of experience in natural resources project management, monitoring, and riparian restoration to the Rogue. As a native Oregonian, he appreciates all parts of the state and is happy to have circled back to Southern Oregon where he focuses on water quality improvement projects throughout the watershed.


California's ongoing drought has sapped water aquifers and reservoirs, creating problems that could spell disaster in the coming years.
Take the Salton Sea, for instance. The state's largest lake, this 360-square-mile body of water was created by accident over 100 years ago when agricultural runoff pooled in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. For a time, it became a playground for Hollywood stars. Now, largely abandoned, it has begun to dry up, leaving experts to contemplate disastrous effects on nearby communities.
Home to over 400 bird species, the Salton Sea is of vital concern to biologists, who aim to preserve a key natural habitat. More concerning to public officials, however, is the impact the lake's disappearance might have on local residents.
Thanks to decades of farm runoff, the lakebed had become toxic, with high levels of selenium, arsenic and traces of DDT. Without water to hold these toxins in place, wind could begin whipping these substances into the air, creating a serious health hazard for local communities.
It's happened before. About a century ago, Owens Lake was drained by the Los Angeles aqueduct. As the lakebed dried, billowing dust infiltrated communities, bringing with it particle levels that were 10 times what modern federal officials consider safe. After spending $1.3 billion on mitigation, California continues to struggle with the problem; and the barren lakebed is still a top source of dust storms in the United States.
To avoid a similar disaster, experts say state officials should divert water to the Salton Sea. Unfortunately, that's not particularly practical at a time when communities can't find enough water to keep their residents hydrated. As an alternative strategy, some have suggested building earthen berms to keep the dust at bay; however, no one knows if this would work.
Whatever the case, experts are warning state leaders to act quicker rather than later, since projections estimate that lake levels will drop 20 feet in the next 15 years. If we all take steps to lower our water consumption throughout the day, we'll be in a better position to withstand drought conditions.

Have you been really done by producing your dissertation? Are you currently really in the point of entry and awaiting update? We provide you fast methods and techniques that will assist you update the dissertations at a more rapid method.
The very initial of all barrier within an grad's lifetime would be that the dissertation period. Just what a dissertation is and also how much time it requires to finish the job over many universities and subjects are somewhat all different. But to finish and update is far significantly more crucial to consider. You must try to remember that the dissertation really isn't the last record you submit to your school intention. The next thing to be noticed is the fact that just take a dissertation that's feasible when it comes to funding, comprehensible to many others also that consists of lower attempts to traveling for info study. Composing and writing a dissertation was proven more than be among the hardest offenses and also you must maybe not be defeated with all the barriers which can come throughout.
It's almost always fantastic to be more convinced whilst at rough periods of lifetime, the dissertation will be always to be thought of since the outset of investigation and maybe not the line and it is only a parcel of record which is going to soon be posted.
A dissertation is in complete till it's filed and defended precisely yet so several students remain wanting year soon after a second to shield their thesis. You must be sure to compose the full protocol at an normal manner according to the college, make it sporadically the moment by you personally and the guide accompanied closely by means appropriate consequences together with their characters and proofread it before entry.
The creating of the dissertation can be definitely an adventure on its own and is still an endless travel of students. You must simply accept that the ups and downs downs confronted throughout such stages and figure out how to accommodate themselves consequently. It's advised that pupils sustain their very own checklists previous to entry and shield therefore they are sometimes ready. Last, probably the absolute most crucial facet to be recalled would be always to accumulate a few may and guts whilst finishing the dissertation because there aren't any bad or good dissertations on earth.
You can expect you companies which vary between giving advice to pupils when filing their thesis, furnish them very good counselling to assist them manage their dissertation period and help them into alterations also. Don't hesitate to speak to us with further info.

In response to global tensions among religions today, the Interreligious Studies in Japan Program (ISJP) offers systematic study of Japanese religions and provides opportunities for interreligious dialogue. Its aim is to promote mutual understanding as a basis for peaceful coexistence and cooperation.
One semester consists of courses on Shinto, Buddhism, reading a classic Buddhist text in translation, New Religions, Japanese Christianity, Theology of Religions, and introduction to the Japanese language. Theoretical studies are supplemented by an exposure program consisting of field trips to various religious centers and meetings with their representatives. Attending one semester offers basic information, while participation in two semesters provides broader knowledge.
The goal is to widen the students' perspectives towards other religions and to deepen their own faith in order to build peace among people of different religions. To get a better understanding of past ISJP activities, see also our report of previous semesters.
Students who want to attend the entire ISJP Program should follow the proper application procedure.
Students in the Kansai area who want to participate only in selected courses apply directly (PDF, 34 kB) at the NCC Study Center.
*The contents are organized in such a way that the two semesters do not overlap but complement each other.
Regular fieldtrips to Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, headquarters of new religions, and Christian churches.
Dialogue meetings with representatives of other religions.
Possibilities to experience Buddhist meditation practice (zazen), to attend religious ceremonies and festivals, and to participate in activities of Japanese churches.
Additional lectures by experts on special themes.
One-week trip to Tokyo in the fall semester.
One semester consists of two weeks of orientation (general introduction) and ten weeks of regular courses. Fall semester: September – December, spring semster: April – July.
ISJP is designed for university students who are interested in the study of religions in Japan as well as in the experience of interreligious dialogue. The following are especially welcome: undergraduate and graduate students of theology, religious studies, religious education, Japanese studies, and Eastern philosophy.
Instead of participating in the whole program, it is also possible to attend one (or more) class(es) of one's choice. For more information, please contact the Coordinator.
Participants receive certificates for each class as well as for the whole program. Students, who write a paper on a subject agreed with the teacher receive credited certificates.
Living costs including accommodation are a minimum of ¥120,000 per month.
Tuition is ¥100,000 per semester.
Please fill in the application form (PDF file, 64 kB) in English; enclose your curriculum vitae (including university studies, hobbies and volunteer activities); a letter of recommendation by a professor; photocopy of passport for visa application (validity minimum one year); letter of guarantee for sufficient financial support (e.g. scholarship).
March 31 for fall semester, October 31 for spring semester (exceptions are possible in special cases).
Please send your applications to the Program Coordinator. Candidates should apply for visas at a Japanese embassy or consulate in their home countries. The proper category is "cultural visa" (bunka visa).
The teachers of this program are experts in their field and have been selected by the Advisory and Executive Committee. The names of previous lecturers are listed in the reports.
I am happy to learn of this new ecumenical initiative you are undertaking in order to answer the need of good and sound interreligious dialogue which we Christians must continue to promote. There is certainly need for a solid theological foundation for dialogue with people of other religions and their religious traditions. Please accept my congratulations for these efforts towards training Christian leaders in interreligious dialogue.
More than 100 years ago, the British poet Kipling wrote a verse which would subsequently enter the English language: "Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." Much has changed since then. East regularily meets West. The phenomenon known as globalization, driven in large part by recent technological progress, has led to an exposure of the West in the East and vice versa. To avoid pitfalls and ensure challenges facing both East and West are taken seriously, an intentional study of the significance of culture and religion, community and society in both East and West is needed. It seems to me that that the project of EMS and the NCC Center for the Study of Japanese Religions in Kyoto is an important step in this direction. Through this project, I hope, there will be opportunities to learn about how best to live in a world of globalization, appreciating differences and finding new ways of together addressing challenges to our interdependent world.


Up until now, it's only been possible to track where cells are in their life cycle once they're dead. However, a new study outlines a method of analysing living cells by taking a close look at their nucleus.
The new study by researchers at New York University (NYU), as published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), has established a method of gauging what stage of the cell cycle a living cell is currently at.
Previously, it was only possible to take such measurements when working with a dead cell.
It was already known that the size and shape of a cell nucleus typically undergo big changes over the course of a cell's lifespan.
However, the challenge of taking measurements from a living cell meant that we didn't know whether its shape changed over a shorter span of time.
Using a cutting-edge fluorescence microscope, researchers were able to observe a previously undetected flicker of the nuclear envelope, which takes place over the course of just a few seconds. The amplitude of this fluctuation was seen to decrease as the cell cycle went on.
This motion could serve as an internal clock, as scientists could take measurements in order to understand what point in the cell cycle a living cell is currently occupying.
Being able to discern where a cell sits in its life cycle will hopefully facilitate a greater understanding of the most basic processes of human biology. This discovery stands to improve our knowledge of both healthy and diseased cells.
"We know that structural and functional errors of the nuclear envelope lead to a large number of developmental and inherited disorders, such as cardiomyopathy, muscular dystrophy, and cancer," Alexandra Zidovska, the paper's senior author and an assistant professor of physics at NYU, said in a statement released by the school.
"Illuminating the mechanics of nuclear shape fluctuations might contribute to efforts to understand the nuclear envelope in health and disease."

Q: How to create a new list from other two lists, apply a function and append the output to each list? thank you in advance for the help.
I need to retrieve some data (clients and products) from a WebService. This code gets the data and transforms it into lists with dictionaries within them.
    consumidores = requests.get(url + 'all_consumers', headers=custom_header)  # lista
    con = consumidores.json()
    productos = requests.get(url + 'all_products', headers=custom_header)  # lista
    prod = productos.json()

    c = []

    for key in con:
        c = [key['genero'], key['complexion'], key['tallaCamisa'], key['tallaPantalon'], key['edad'], key['ubicacion'],
         key['valorComercial'], key['valorCompra']]

    p = []
    for index in prod:
        p = [index['genero'], index['precio']]

Whats I need to do is to create two lists, one for costumers and one for products. Choose some specific elements for each costumer and product and create a new list that have to look like this
new_list = [[costumer_1, costumer_element1, costumer_element2 , ... , product_1, product_element1, product_element2, ...], [costumer_1, costumer_element1, ..., product_1, product_element1, ...], [costumer_2, costumer_elementn, ... product_1, product_element1 ,...] , ...]

Then apply a function that will relate costumers with products and append the result to the list that produced that output:
results = [[costumer_1, costumer_element1, costumer_element2 , ... , product_1, product_element1, product_element2, RESULT], etc]

    for key in con:
    index=0
    param_relcp = c[index][key['genero'],key['edad']]
    index=index + 1

This returns an error: IndexError: list index out of range and using this
c = []
for key in con:
    c = [key['genero'], key['complexion'], key['tallaCamisa'], key['tallaPantalon'], key['edad'], key['ubicacion'],
         key['valorComercial'], key['valorCompra'], key['id']]

Only takes the elements only from the first one of the list of lists. Any help will be appreciated.

A: Your loops all appear to do nothing, e.g.
for key in con:
    c = [key['genero'], key['complexion'], key['tallaCamisa'], key['tallaPantalon'], key['edad'], key['ubicacion'],
         key['valorComercial'], key['valorCompra']]

replaces c every time, and you only get the last value from the last time through the loop. You do the same for p and the same for param_relcp.
Either:
c = []
for key in con:
    c.append([key['genero'], key['complexion'], key['tallaCamisa'], key['tallaPantalon'], key['edad'], key['ubicacion'],
             key['valorComercial'], key['valorCompra']])

or
c = [[key['genero'], key['complexion'], key['tallaCamisa'], key['tallaPantalon'], key['edad'], key['ubicacion'],
             key['valorComercial'], key['valorCompra'] for key in con]

and the same for the others.

CORONAVIRUS: A serious outbreak would change your life
by Shannon Molloy
3rd Mar 2020 5:01 PM
Coronavirus is in Australia and it's no longer in people who contracted the deadly infectious disease overseas, with the first human-to-human cases confirmed yesterday.
Australia's chief medical officer, Professor Brendan Murphy, said an outbreak in Australia was now likely, stating "it's no longer possible to absolutely prevent new cases coming in".
As cases increase and the risk grows, authorities have warned they will implement a range of sweeping measures in a bid to slow the spread.
A vaccine is at least 12 months away and probably closer to 18 months, plus the arrival of cooler months and cold and flu season will intensify the risk of coronavirus spreading.
As the situation worsens, the everyday lives of millions of Australians will inevitably be impacted.
DEATH AND SERIOUS ILLNESS
What a serious outbreak of coronavirus in Australia might look like is difficult to predict, given modelling is based on what's occurred in China.
Things here are vastly different, from the quality of the healthcare system to the robustness of hygiene and sanitation practices.
However, a sustained and significant period of transmission in Australia could result in 25 per cent of the population becoming infected over the duration of the crisis, on the low end of estimates, and as high as 70 per cent in a worst-case scenario, Professor Raina MacIntyre, head of the Biosecurity Program at the Kirby Institute at the University of NSW said.
"So, a case fatality rate of 2 to 3 per cent is high (in that context)," Prof MacIntyre said.
A mortality rate of 3 per cent has been calculated by the World Health Organisation and again applies to China and is likely closer to 1 per cent in the developed world.
But looking at the modelling, in the mid-range of that estimate - 50 per cent of Australians contracting coronavirus - Prof MacIntyre said it could cause as many as 400,000 deaths.
Professor Nigel McMillan, infectious diseases director at the Menzies Health Institute of Queensland at Griffith University, said the deadliness of the disease in Australia was difficult to anticipate.
"For pandemic planning, we can use models, but right now most are inaccurate as we don't know two important things - how many people get infected, the infection attack rate, and how many get sick, the clinical attack rate," Prof McMillan said.
"That is, we suspect there are a large number of people who aren't identified as having COVID-19 because they have a mild cold. We can make guesses, but it will take time to get this information."
That said, the mortality rate "hasn't really changed much over time".
MOVING TO PHASE TWO
Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week activated the country's emergency response plan for pandemics, which outlines three different phases of dealing with infectious disease crises.
Phase One was focused on border control measures and social distancing in order to slow the introduction of the disease into Australia.
In an article for The Conversation, University of Melbourne's Doherty Epidemiology director Jodie McVernon said it was a case of "when local transmission occurs, not if".
And yesterday, that dangerous new development was confirmed with the first human-to-human infection in Sydney involving a doctor who treated a patient with coronavirus.
In a second case, the sister of a man who arrived in Australia from Iran on Sunday contracted the disease.
These instances up the ante when it comes to battling coronavirus.
Enacting Phase Two would involve disruptions to everyday life, Prof McVernon said, and will now come into effect.
"The focus will shift to minimising spread within Australia and limiting the health, social and economic impact of the disease," she said.
"This could include (the) cancellation of large local gatherings, sporting matches and festivals, closure of schools, universities and some workplaces, and strict local travel restrictions."
Public events in Japan have been closed to the public, from sporting matches to horse races. Picture: AP
Other areas where Australians gather in large numbers - shopping centres, cinemas, theatres, beaches and parks - could also be shut down, and in extreme cases, the free movement of people on public transport could be restricted.
The government's response plan was designed to be flexible, allowing authorities to adapt public health policies depending on new developments, Prof Murphy said.
"One of the things we would be very focused on if we got an outbreak is trying to slow the pace of development by containing cases, because a slowly evolving outbreak has much less pressure on the system, even though it might have a longer impact," Prof Murphy said.
"If you had an outbreak in a particular city or state, if it got to a certain size you might close the schools or change the configuration of the hospitals to deal with that.
"If it's in several cities or states, you do it according to the local needs at the time. What we've learned from repeated flu pandemics is you have to adapt the response according to the circumstances almost on a daily basis."
Yesterday, Attorney-General Christian Porter warned Australians that certain powers would become necessary in the months ahead.
COVID-19 has been listed as a human disease so that authorities can enact the Biosecurity Act, Mr Porter said.
"There are two broad ranges of powers that people may well experience for the first time," he said.
"There is the ability of the government to impose - always based on medical advice, but nevertheless impose - a human biosecurity control order on person or persons who have been exposed to the disease.
"It could require any Australian to give information about people that they've contacted or had contact with so that we can trace transmission pathways. It will also mean that Australians could be directed to remain at a particular place or indeed undergo decontamination.
"Secondly, a very important power that may be experienced for the first time, and that we will be monitoring very carefully, is the declaration of a human health response zone."
Phase Two of the emergency plan for dealing with coronavirus could see everyday life, such as travel, impacted. Picture: Christian Gilles
Chief medical officer Professor Brendan Murphy gives an update on the coronavirus. Picture: AAP
Health Minister Greg Hunt described the approach as being like "rings of containment", where infected individuals and their families or affected groups could be quarantined.
Protecting Australian society in the event of a widespread outbreak "must come before individual rights", Prof MacIntyre said.
"We need to weigh up the balance between individual freedom and rights versus the public good, and infectious diseases epidemics pose a unique risk because of contagion."
HEALTH SYSTEM STRAIN
In addition to potential deaths from coronavirus, dealing with a high volume of infections would place incredible stress on Australia's health system.
"In China, we know that in addition to the people who died, 5 per cent needed to be in (intensive) and 14 per cent needed a hospital bed," Prof MacIntyre said.
Again, on the modelling of a 50 per cent infection rate of the population, that could be as many as two million people needing hospitalisation and 650,000 patients needing an intensive care unit bed.
"These are total numbers over the whole epidemic, which may last one year," she said.
"In Sydney, we estimate there are about 16,000 public hospital beds and 6000 private hospital beds.
"We have previously modelled the number of daily beds required in an epidemic scenario for a different infection, which shows that capacity for beds could be rapidly exhausted in a severe epidemic."

Prof McMillan said health authorities would prepare for a large influx of patients at hospitals and undertake other measures, such as stockpiling antivirals, some of which appear to slow the virus.
"They (will also need to be) advising the public that when the time comes they will need to think about things like stay at home if ill, social distancing, avoid large gatherings and so on," he said.
As a result, people diagnosed with coronavirus but experiencing a mild case would be asked to "take responsibility for their own 'social distancing'", Prof McVernon said.
That means self-quarantining and self-isolating at home. That advice would also be extended to anyone who discovered they've come in close contact with someone with the disease.
"These measures, while disruptive to individuals and households, have been highly effective to date in preventing community transmission of COVID-19 in Australia and will remain very important throughout the response to this disease," Prof McVernon said.
But Prof MacIntyre said this method was less reliable and difficult to co-ordinate and monitor.
"People would also have to be relied on for voluntary self-quarantine in this situation, and there is a risk some may break quarantine," she said.
More broadly, an influx of people seeking treatment at hospitals would see all non-essential patients diverted and elective surgeries deferred.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews acknowledged today the inconvenience and distress this may cause those awaiting non-emergency surgeries, but said it was the most appropriate measure.
ECONOMIC PAIN
An outbreak of the coronavirus in Australia would have more serious consequences for the economy across the board.
It's already being felt. The share market is down, the tourism sector is hurting and universities are bracing for millions of dollars in losses.
Expect that to get much worse if people panic, Professor Warren Hogan of the University of Technology Sydney said.
"The key economic challenge will be to stop a vicious cycle of weaker spending and job losses taking hold," Prof Hogan wrote in an article for The Conversation.
The impact on financial markets is already being felt and experts warn Australia's economy will suffer. Picture: AAP
Australia's economic reliance on China means warnings of the superpower facing a recession due to travel and trade restrictions will hurt.
"Estimates of the impact of the containment policies on Chinese growth in the first quarter of the year range from minus 2 per cent to minus 10 per cent, enough to obliterate growth in the world's fastest-growing big economy," Prof Hogan said.
At the weekend, forecasts surrounding China's manufacturing and service sectors were dire, he said, and "few countries are as exposed" to the impacts of that as Australia.
All of this on top of an already problematic set of economic circumstances - gross domestic product figures for the first three months of 2020 to be released tomorrow are unlikely to be rosy - also points to the possibility of a recession here.
"It will leave Australia exposed to what is known as a technical recession - two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, in the three months to March and the three months to June," Prof Hogan said.
"This possibility, Australia's first recession in 29 years, will depend on how we react to the emergence of coronavirus onshore."

Q: font awesome, devicon, simple fonts not loading While designing I came across some problems with all of the fonts I have.
First, none of my fonts are loading. I have cdn's in the head tag of all of the fonts I need and they show up as colorful squares.
Second, I cant change any fonts for the text in the html, it just reads: font-family: 'Abril Fatface';, I added the font family of anything else in my scss *{} tag, but it did nothing, tried to add the font straight in the html tags but that also did nothing.
