Hand made Chess Piece case crafted from solid Sheesham Wood, also known as golden Rosewood. This large chess piece case is suitable for pieces up to 4.5 inches in height. Sheesham wood is an exotic hardwood that is rich in yellow and red colour tones and has a distinctive and beautiful grain. Opening up the hinged lid, you will find two green flocked compartments, separating the colours and providing a safe compartment that won't scratch or damage. This robust, yet carefully hand polished solid wooden box is absolutely perfect for keeping your treasured chess pieces safe for years and years.
Please note that this item has been improved and is now supplied with a hidden magnetic closing mechanism and no separator. New images are awaited. Pieces not included.
"It's beautiful and feels substantial - perfect for a quality set of pieces."
"Very good quality in the finishes"
"Nice box, good and weighted woo: the bos is lovely. With the magnet it's easy too close/open too. A good smell also (if i may add). A tiny drawback: a chess set of 4 and half inches just enter the box in salad way (not possible too let each piece stands up)."
"Very good, heavy and solid chess case. High quality and so good looking! The closing and locking is different to the picture. The new chess cases have strong magnets integrated, what ist much better solution compared to the outside locking. I have a chess set with a king´s hight of 10,8mm and base diameter of 49mm, pawn base of 39mm and 4 queens. I can put the king into the box in a upright position. All chess pieces can be put into the chess case if they are laid down. Or one colour in upright position, what I prefer (so you need two cases for this). "
"Price is high, but very good box. The new chess case has strong magnets for closing, which are a very good solution, much better than to lock the chess case outside. I have a chess set with a king hight of 10,8mm and base diamieter of 49mm and second queens. The pawn has a diameter of 39mm. So it is not so easy to find a big box which is high enough for the king in upright position and to but in all pieces. For my chess set I can put in all pieces in one box, if they are laid down. Or one colour in upright position, what I´m doing (so I bought a second box). The chess case is solid, heavy, has a high quality and is very good looking. Shipping from The Regency Chess Company to germany is fast. Great team. Thank you very much."

750,000 ED patients this year to feel impact of new pneumonia guidelines | Single Article
Misdiagnosis, medication errors are top concerns
A new study published in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine contains good news and bad news for ED managers. The good news: In a survey of 767 patients from 12 EDs, most individuals surveyed (88%) believed their safety from medical errors had been good, very good, or excellent.
However, 38% of them reported experiencing at least one specific error-related concern, with the most common concerns being misdiagnosis (22% of all patients), physician error (16%), and medication error (16%).1
"I was pleased to see the majority of patients actually did feel they were not at high risk for medical errors; it's actually a greater number than I would have guessed," explains Linda Laskowski Jones, RN, MS, APRN, BC, CCRN, CEN, director of trauma, emergency, and aeromedical services at Christiana Hospital in the Christiana Care Health System in Newark, DE.
While most patients believe hospitals are doing a good job managing these concerns, ED managers need to recognize that medical errors are real issues to patients, says Thomas E. Burroughs, PhD, associate professor at St. Louis University Center for Outcomes Research and lead author of the study.
"Emergency department personnel need to recognize that during the course of care, patients experience concerns about specific impending medical errors — some of which may be associated with actual errors," he notes.
Involvement eases concerns
There are several strategies ED managers can adopt to ease these concerns, and the most important one is to involve patients more directly in their own care, Laskowski Jones says.
"The first and foremost thing is to stress to your staff that they have to keep the patient informed — to make them part of the team," she asserts.
"If they know their plan of care, and something does not go according to that plan, either they or a family member can raise a concern." For example, Laskowski Jones notes, patients can offer an additional check on whether they are being given the proper medications or having the right part of their body X-rayed.
"In a culture of safety, the manager must hold staff accountable for keeping patients informed," she says. "That's key."
Burroughs agrees. "By directly involving patients in their own care, and encouraging them to inform their providers of any signs of errors, the level of safety can be elevated for all emergency department patients," he says.
As part of the safety culture, the ED staff at Christiana Hospital also pay close attention the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' 2005 National Patient Safety Goals, Laskowski Jones points out.
"The nurse manager can audit the compliance of staff, whether self-reported or directly, and in instances that need follow-up, look at work-flow processes and individual employee behavior to address issues that need to be corrected," she advises.
While Laskowski Jones hasn't done it yet, she adds that it probably would be a good idea to have the goals written out and given to the patients.
"You could say, These are important safety goals, and we are committed to them,'" she offers. "It would be a nice, innovative approach, and whenever you build patients into the care process, they will feel more comfortable."
And patients who feel comfortable can mean dollars in your pocket, says Burroughs. "The occurrence of a single error-related concern — not necessarily an actual error — was enough to have a significant impact on a patient's willingness to recommend and return to the facility for future care," he observes.

Hinkley Point C Study
East Suffolk Council and Suffolk County Council as part of the New Nuclear Local Authorities Group have co-funded a new study on the impacts of the early stage construction of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station in Somerset.
We will look forward to using the learning from this study to feed into discussion around the Sizewell C development. The study was independently undertaken by the Impact Assessment Unit of Oxford Brookes University, led by Professor John Glasson.
The study will help to inform the way that future new nuclear power station developments, at Sizewell C and elsewhere in the UK, and other Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP), are developed, consented and governed. The Hinkley Point C project was one of the first NSIPs to be consented and has been under construction since 2012.
It offers therefore the best opportunity to learn about the scale, nature and extent of the likely impacts of nuclear new builds, and to gather both quantitative and qualitative evidence of the impact in practice.
The Hinkley Point C project was a first of its kind – the first major NSIP to be determined through the Planning Act 2008, and the first new nuclear power station to be built in the UK since the 1980s. It did not have the benefit of similar projects to help shape measurement and governance. Future projects can and should be learning from the experience at Hinkley Point C, and this study will facilitate such learning.
The Impact Assessment Unit research team included: Professor John Glasson, Dr Bridget Durning, visiting Professor Martin Broderick and Ms Kellie Welch.
The New Nuclear Local Authorities Group (NNLAG) is a Local Government Association Special Interest Group, consisting of fifteen Local Authorities from across the UK that already host or are likely to host nuclear new build projects. NNLAG's purpose is for local authorities to share knowledge, information and best practice regarding new nuclear, and to provide a mechanism for local authorities, as elected representatives of local areas, to discuss and make representations direct to Government regarding the development of new nuclear and of nuclear-related connection/transmission projects.
NNLAG's member local authorities are: Allerdale Borough Council, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Copeland Borough Council, Cumbria County Council, East Suffolk Council, Essex County Council, Lancaster City Council, Maldon District Council, Sedgemoor District Council, Folkestone & Hythe District Council, Somerset County Council, South Gloucestershire Council, Suffolk County Council, and Somerset West & Taunton Council. NNLAG is currently chaired by the Isle of Anglesey Council.

Biografia
Nato in una famiglia della nobiltà padovana che aveva forse detenuto la signoria di Marostica, di lui si hanno notizie a partire del 1163 quando, canonico del capitolo della cattedrale di Padova, rappresentò i suoi confratelli nella difesa di diritti e privilegi da loro esercitati a Pernumia contro le mire dei Carraresi. Era quindi un esperto di diritto e pare fosse stato insegnante di Martino de Goxo, uno dei quattro giureconsulti bolognesi inviati da Federico I alla dieta di Roncaglia.

Nel marzo 1165 fu eletto vescovo di Padova. Il suo governo proseguì l'opera già iniziata dai due predecessori (Bellino e Giovanni Cacio): nella lotta fra Impero e Papato si mantenne leale a quest'ultimo, mentre sul fronte interno si impegnò ad affermare la propria preminenza all'interno delle gerarchie ecclesiastiche.

Partecipò in prima persona all'evoluzione degli ordinamenti della diocesi ed esercitò un forte controllo sulle pertinenze della propria Chiesa, sia in città che nel contado. Ad esempio, fu direttamente coinvolto nella definizione dei confini delle cappelle urbane (1178) e redasse diversi atti (Piove di Sacco, 1191; San Giorgio delle Pertiche, 1195; Torre, 1196; Campagna Lupia, 1210) per confermare i propri diritti su castelli, prerogative giudiziarie, decime e quartesi.

Inoltre, fondò chiese battesimali (Villa del Bosco, Civè) per favorire la vita religiosa in quei luoghi da poco bonificati colonizzati e aprì nuovi enti religiosi (quali l'istituto ospedaliero di San Giovanni delle Navi, il monastero di Santa Margherita a Salarola e quello di Santa Cecilia a Padova). Per quanto riguarda i cenobi già esistenti, si impegnò a ribadire la propria autorità opponendosi agli interessi politici locali; esemplare la sua azione verso il monastero di Santo Stefano di Carrara affinché l'elezione dell'abate non fosse influenzata dai Carraresi (1194-1213).

Di grande significato un evento accaduto durante il suo governo, nel 1177, quando furono portati alla luce, nel cimitero paleocristiano del monastero di Santa Giustina, i corpi dei santi Innocenti, della martire Giustina di Padova, dell'apostolo Mattia e dell'evangelista Luca. Il ritrovamento incrementò il prestigio alla Chiesa padovana, ma soprattutto diede impulso al senso di appartenenza e alla coesione della società padovana.

Ebbe anche un importante ruolo politico in quanto fu più volte scelto dalla Curia Romana e dal Comune di Padova per dirimere varie controversie insorte tra ecclesiasti e feudatari. Fu inoltre coinvolto nelle lotte intestine: tra il 1178 e il 1187 va collocato uno scontro in città tra alcuni suoi vassalli e gli uomini del conte Manfredino.

Nel 1213 si ritirò a vita privata e morì in data non nota.

Coronavirus concerns clearing out hand sanitizer, wipes
Updated: Mar. 04, 2020, 6:03 p.m. | Published: Mar. 04, 2020, 4:53 p.m.
A row of disinfecting wipes and spray disinfectant are on display at a Walgreen's in Gadsden, Ala., Tuesday, March 3, 2020.
By William Thornton | wthornton@al.com
Stores in Alabama, like others around the nation, are coping with inventory shortages related to the coronavirus.
But shortages of hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes and other articles don't seem to be total, judging by some stores.
How coronavirus is affecting Alabama business
The outbreak has reportedly caused Amazon to order six to eight weeks' worth of some inventory made in China versus its usual two- to three-week number.
At the Walgreens in Gadsden on East Meighan Boulevard, there was a good supply of several brands of hand sanitizer brands on a table near the door with a variety of wipes. Not so, however, at the Walgreens on Government Street in Mobile, or the one on Montgomery Highway in Dothan.
"They cleared us out of those," one employee said at the Dothan location, while the Mobile store looks to get a new supply of hand sanitizer on Saturday, a worker said.
A display of hand sanitizer was emptied this morning at a Publix in Rainbow City, and the Zeirdt Road Publix in Madison was also clear. But a CVS in Madison was restocked Tuesday. Shoppers are also seeking out disinfecting wipes, with similar rates of success or failure. Birmingham retailers have reported shortages of respirator masks.
Why? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says handwashing with soap and water is a good defense against the spread of the virus. The agency also recommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.
As of Wednesday, world health officials say there have been more than 95,150 reported cases of the COVID-19 virus, and more than 3,250 deaths. The U.S. has reported more than 100 cases nationwide with 11 deaths as of Wednesday afternoon.
Time is reporting that sales of hand sanitizers in the U.S. were up 73 percent in February compared to the same period a year ago, according to market research firm Nielsen. Rakuten Intelligence says that online sales of liquid hand sanitizers and disinfecting wipes increased 202 percent from January 2019 to January 2020. Consumers spent more money online on those two items than in any month in the last two years.
Sanitizer brand Purell told USA Today through a spokeswoman that the company is adding more shifts and having employees work overtime at the two Ohio facilities where most Purell is made.
And health experts say fears over the virus are leading some to make their own hand sanitizer. But, as CNN reported, some recipes do not get the right concentration of ingredients, which could make them potentially harmful.

With the rise of the Internet and modern computing, many services and objects have become digital. For instance, there is email, ebook, social media, online shopping, etc. Now, there is digital money called "cryptocurrency". Cryptocurrency is a form of global currency that is produced/created via cryptography. This economy is decentralized and entirely tax-free.
Cryptocurrency provides a way to pay for goods or services on the Internet even across political borders. Cryptocurrency (also called "Altcoins") can be exchanged/traded for typical currency and vice-versa. This digital money can be bought or sold on special websites (list below). Cryptocurrencies are popularly used on the Darknet to purchase special goods and services.
Cryptocurrencies can be created by individuals on their computers. The creation of cryptocurrency is called mining and a person that makes cryptocurrency is called a miner. Mining requires a lot of CPU and/or GPU power since advanced cryptography algorithms are required to generate virtual money. Mining is legal and easy. However, it is time-consuming to the computer. Many miners have a computer dedicated to mining. The process is not very fast, but it an be worth it if the miner has an energy-efficient computer that they can dedicate to this process.
Besides mining, users can earn cryptocurrency by minting coins. Not all cryptocurrencies support minting. Minting is the process of securing the cryptocurrency network via a proof-of-stake system. This means mints (computers fulfilling the minting process) ensure that the cryptocurrency is secure and accurate and help to prevent people from counterfeiting the cryptocurrency.
Many types of cryptocurrencies exist and they follow the typical theoretical laws and concepts of traditional economics. Each one can be easily traded/exchanged from one to another. Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency. However, some cryptocurrencies are easier and faster to mine than Bitcoin.
The Cryptonator (https://www.cryptonator.com/) offers many cryptocurrency services such as online wallets, exchanges, exchange rate charts, etc.
Some of the different cryptocurrencies are discussed below.
Bitcoin was the first decentralized cryptocurrency, and it was introduced January 3, 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoins are accepted by many large companies/businesses such as Microsoft, Dell, Mozilla Foundation, Dish Network, TigerDirect, and others. Coinkite (https://coinkite.com/faq/card) is a company that offers many cryptocurrency services including Bitcoin debt cards that can be used like a regular banking debt card.
Blackcoin was made by a developer known as "Rat4". Blackcoin is becoming popular very quickly and may be an excellent alternative to Bitcoin. Blackcoin has a low inflation rate.
Dash (or Digital Cash) is another cryptocurrency, but this one has additional privacy compared to Bitcoin. Dash is commonly used on the Darknet (hence the former name "Darkcoin"). Dash is made using an X11 hashing algorithm (not related to X11 display protocol). This X11 hashing algorithm uses less power than scrypt or SHA-256. The X11 hashing algorithm is a series of eleven cryptographic hashing processes. Originally, before Dash was called Darkcoin, it was called XCoin.
Litecoin has a lot in common with Bitcoin. However, Litecoin is entirely open-source without any central authority. Also, Bitcoin uses SHA-256 while Litecoin uses Scrypt. This allows miners to more easily create both Litecoins and Bitcoins at the same time.
Mastercoin is a cryptocurrency and communications protocol that is built on top of Bitcoin. Mastercoin is to Bitcoin as HTTP is to TCP/IP. Sometimes, Mastercoins are called the Bitcoin Omni-Layer.
Namecoin is the first Bitcoin fork. Namecoin places more data in a block than Bitcoin. Namecoin uses a top-level domain called ".bit" which is not an official ICANN top-level domain name. This helps to secure people's right for privacy by providing extra privacy and reducing or preventing government censorship.
Potcoin is a fork of Litecoin with minor changes. For instance, Potcoin has a larger economy limit (maximum amount of coins), faster halving schedule, and a smaller block generation time.
PPcoin or Peercoin is the fourth largest minable cryptocurrency and it lacks an economic limit. PPcoin uses SHA-256. Users can gain more PPcoins by mining or minting.


The door opened then closed. Several quiet footsteps indicated it was her attendant.
It did not require sight to know that her attendant was glaring with disapproval, but Maire knew better than to voice it.
Several minutes passed before the door opened again. The footsteps were slower and heavier this time.
A sense of joy permeated the room as the engineer placed a pair of googles on her. She felt him adjust them and then listened to him throw switches, presumably on the box he mentioned.
The first thing she noticed was tingling around the goggles. Then light seeped into her mind. She had nearly forgotten what it looked like. Slowly colors turned into shapes, and she could see her room. Her attention was drawn to her own body and the goggles strapped to her head.
The engineer faced her – her body – and it was difficult to see his face from the perspective of the box.
"I can afford to pay you for your efforts." The thought of losing her sight, after reacquiring it, was difficult to bear.
"Such as?" Normally, it was impossible to stop him from talking for hours about his inventions. She was growing uneasy.
She chewed the inside of her cheek. When she saw how that made her face look, she immediately stopped and vowed never to do it again.
He bent down to the table where the box sat.
A smile slowly spread across his face, and she knew he would satisfy her.
Matthew Grimes lived alone. His wife had passed away several years ago, and his children now had lives of their own. Still in his early sixties, Matthew had retired, though not entirely voluntarily, from a successful run as a museum curator. Now, most days, he found himself not just alone, but lonely.
One evening a knock at the door interrupted the empty silence of the house. Matthew opened the door on a man he did not know but who seemed vaguely familiar. His hair was short and well-kept, and his age was impossible to determine. He wore dark slacks and a matching sport coat, though his white shirt's top two buttons were undone.
Matthew looked at him again, trying to decide whether he was a threat. There was really no reason to think so, but Matthew wasn't sure what he should be looking for.
"Oh very well." Matthew knew it was foolish to let a stranger in, but he found it difficult to care. His life had become a stagnant bore, so what did he really need to protect?
Matthew couldn't contain a gruff chuckle. "Well, you're straightforward. I'll give you that." He went into the kitchen and found two tumblers, into which he poured three fingers of his best bottle.
The man had taken a seat in one of a pair of armchairs. Matthew handed him one of the glasses and sat in the other chair.
After the man left, Matthew reflected on what he had to say. It obviously wasn't true, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he knew that man from somewhere.
He sighed. The visit had broken up the monotony of the evening, yet it was so ridiculous. Best to forget about it. Still, the idea tugged at the back of his mind the rest of the night.
The world is a mess. People hate more readily, more broadly. Life is a chore. It's hard to find any reason at all.
That's just your depression talking.
I'm lazy and procrastinate. I'm unmotivated and squander my potential. I'm unremarkable and of no use to anyone.
I'm inconsiderate, a bad friend. I've hurt people. I'm not good and shouldn't be around others.
So… what? All my thoughts are just my depression? Is that all anyone sees when they look at me? My depression? I have become defined by an illness. Nothing remains of me. My every thought, word, action is attributed to my depression.
That's just the depression talking.
The line at the coffee shop drive-thru was long and moving slowly. We had already been there ten minutes. The waiting cars had squeezed in wherever they could, making for a rather haphazard queue. In the barely controlled chaos, another car, which had just arrived, slipped in front of me when I didn't pull forward fast enough.
I threw the car into park and opened my door.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it," I said over my shoulder as I closed the door.
I walked over to the drive side of the dark grey SUV that had jumped the line. A man, a few years older than me, sat behind the wheel. At first, he pretended not to see me, so I knocked on his window.
"Forget it." With that, he rolled his window back up.
"Back up!" I kicked his tire. He just stared straight ahead. I could feel my face getting hot as my anger grew, and I knocked on his window again. I must have hit it harder, though, because it shattered under my blows.
"Oh crap. I'm sorry…" I began. I looked up to see the end of the barrel of a gun pointed at me. "Okay, listen…" A gun shot interrupted me, and the world went black.
"What?" I tried to shake myself alert.
The security guard squinted against the headlights of a car that had pulled up to the backdoor of the warehouse. Two men got out and headed to the door. Hand on his gun, he spoke quietly into his radio, though no one acknowledged him. Then he turned his attention back to the intruders.
Neither of the men paid him any attention.
They kept working on the lock and ignored him. His nervousness gave way to irritation, and he walked closer to the men. One kept looking over his shoulder while the other concentrated on the door.
"Will you hurry up," the first said.
"Just give me a sec. This is tricky," the other replied.
They still acted as though they they hadn't noticed him. With his gun drawn, he walked to within a few feet of them. "Hands up!" There was no reaction.
At his wits' end, he put his hand on the lookout's shoulder in order to force his attention. His hand passed right through. Startled, he accidentally pulled the trigger on his revolver. Luckily, the shot missed both of the men, but they did jump.
Still pretending he wasn't there, they quickly got back in their car and sped off.
Had they been ghosts? How else had his hand gone through one of them? He didn't know what to make of the encounter. Ultimately, he shrugged his shoulders and returned to his patrol.
Threads permeate reality. Connecting everything to everything else, they are too numerous to count. Indeed, they cannot be separated without much concentration. Or a lot of practice. And that's only if you can see them in the first place.
The weave is what matters. How you wrap the threads around your fingers, pulling things together or pushing them apart. The number of things that can be made with them is limited only by skill and imagination. After you learn to see and understand the connections, you begin to understand how they might be modified.
They're not real, of course. Every mage has her or his own way of seeing magic and, thus, manipulating it. Each method is difficult to describe, and even now I am painfully aware of how inadequate my own attempt is.
Different approaches to magic lend themselves more readily to different types of spells. Run magic deals in knowledge and divination. Potions are useful for affecting the body of an individual. Incantations help focus more aggressive energies. And thread magic is best suited for protection. It can bind things together to prevent separation, or keep things apart to avoid injury. The threads can even be woven together to create a shield of sorts.
As you begin your own journey you will need to train. The point of training is not to see the threads. As I said, they aren't real. The point of training is to find how magic manifests to you, how you will interact with it. No one but you can discover that.
The sky was grey, and there was a chill in the air. Winter was not going away easily, which made a perfect setting for a cemetery visit. The stone in front of me listed a name and two dates, all the evidence that remained of a single life.
I know I could talk to her anywhere, but it always seemed important to come back here. I didn't really believe that she remained in this place, but the tradition, the symbolism, was not easily ignored. Rituals become rituals for a reason. They have meaning. We imbue them with meaning. As much as I resist many rituals, this is one I still felt compelled to follow.
So I stood there, expecting snow or rain at any moment, and stared at the letters and numbers that had been carved in granite nearly thirty years ago. As I spoke, I found myself saying things I had said many times before. Apologies. Regrets. Even the occasional lame joke. Whatever came to mind to strengthen a connection that had lasted years.
I wondered, not for the first time, nor for the last, if she bothered listening, if she still cared. In the end, I decided it didn't matter. If there was even a slight chance she heard, I wanted her to know she was not forgotten.
When the rain finally came, I said, my farewell, promising to return once more.

Affective style, psychopathology, and resilience: brain mechanisms and plasticity (Journal Article)
R. J. Davidson
The brain circuitry underlying emotion includes several territories of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the amygdala, hippocampus, anterior cingulate, and related structures. In general, the PFC represents emotion in the absence of immediately present incentives and thus plays a crucial role in the anticipation of the future affective consequences of action, as well as in the persistence of emotion following the offset of an elicitor. The functions of the other structures in this circuit are also considered. Individual differences in this circuitry are reviewed, with an emphasis on asymmetries within the PFC and activation of the amygdala as 2 key components of affective style. These individual differences are related to both behavioral and biological variables associated with affective style and emotion regulation. Plasticity in this circuitry and its implications for transforming emotion and cultivating positive affect and resilience are considered.

Assessing adolescent mindfulness: Validation of an Adapted Mindful Attention Awareness Scale in adolescent normative and psychiatric populations (2011, Journal Article)
Angela Marie West,
Tamara M. Loverich,
Gina M. Biegel

Interest in mindfulness-based interventions for children and adolescents is burgeoning, bringing with it the need for validated instruments to assess mindfulness in youths. The present studies were designed to validate among adolescents a measure of mindfulness previously validated for adults (e.g., Brown & Ryan, 2003), which we herein call the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale—Adolescent (MAAS–A). In 2 large samples of healthy 14- to 18-year-olds (N = 595), Study 1 supported a single-factor MAAS–A structure, along with acceptably high internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and both concurrent and incremental validity. In Study 2, with a sample of 102 psychiatric outpatient adolescents age 14–18 years, participants randomized to a mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention showed significant increases in MAAS–A scores from baseline to 3-month follow-up, relative to nonsignificant score changes among treatment-as-usual participants. Increases in MAAS–A scores among mindfulness-based stress reduction participants were significantly related to beneficial changes in numerous mental health indicators. The findings support the reliability and validity of the MAAS–A in normative and mixed psychiatric adolescent populations and suggest that the MAAS–A has utility in mindfulness intervention research.

Fleeting Signs of the Course of Life Facial Expression and Personal Adjustment (Journal Article)
Dacher Keltner,
Ann M. Kring,
George A. Bonanno
In this article, we consider whether facial expressions of emotion relate in theoretically interesting ways to personal adjustment. We first consider the conceptual benefits of this line of inquiry. Then, to anticipate why brief samples of emotional behavior should relate to personal adjustment, we review evidence indicating that facial expressions of emotion correspond to intrapersonal processes and social outcomes. We then review studies showing that facial expressions relate in theoretically significant ways to adjustment after the death of a spouse, in long-term relationships, and in the context of chronic psychological disorders.

Neuropsychological Perspectives on Affective and Anxiety Disorders (1998, Book)

Ironically, in spite of the label "affective disorders", research on affective disorders has little to say about just what is disordered about emotion in these illnesses. One major purpose of this Special Issue is to begin to raise this question as a legitimate domain of inquiry in studies of emotion and psychopathology. Historically, the literature on emotion in normal subjects has proceeded almost entirely independently of studies of emotion-related psychopathology. And, studies on psychopathology make virtually no reference to basic research on emotion in normals. Major advances have occurred in our understanding of the neural substrates of these affective processes. Their application to the study of disordered emotion in affective and anxiety disorders is comparatively recent. A goal of this Special Issue is to foster increased integration between research on the neural mechanisms underlying normal emotion and disordered emotion in depression and anxiety-related illnesses. It features exemplars of the best research at many levels, from animal studies of the detailed circuitry subserving fear and anxiety, to human studies of cognitive abnormalities in subjects with affective and anxiety disorders. It also highlights a myriad array of methods for making inferences about affective processes, ranging from the biological to the behavioral, and from the molecular to the molar. A central concept that figures prominently in this collection of articles is the importance of individual differences in different components of affective processes. The study of the brain circuitry that underlies such differences in affective style offers great promise in providing a biologically plausible way of parsing the affect domain and developing a theoretically compelling taxonomy of mechanisms that give rise to vulnerability to affective and anxiety disorders.

Q: Transactional consistency with external API calls I have an DDD application that makes use of two external APIs: Google Calendar API and Google Gmail. In one of the application services I want to create a calendar event (using the Calendar API) and then send a confirmation email with Google Gmail API:
        public ValidationResult CreateEventAndSendEmail(string email, EventViewModel EventViewModel)
        {
            // SEVERAL VALIDATIONS

            // Call to Google Calendar API
            validationResult = _googleApiProxy.CreateCalendarEvent(...);

            // Confirmation email
            if (validationResult.Succeeded)
            {
                var email = new Email
                {
                    ...
                };

               var emailSent = _emailApiProxy.SendEmail(email);
               if (!emailSent.Succeeded)
               {
                   // Call to Gmail API
                   validationResult.Errors.Add(string.Format("Error sending email to {0}", user.Email));

                   // What if the email wasn't delivered?
               }
            }

            return validationResult;
        }

But how should I handle the case when the Calendar API call worked but the Gmail API failed? What is the best way to make this whole method transactional when there are two calls to external (and different) APIs? One alternative would be another call to the Calendar API cancelling the event but, would be this the right approach?

A: High level summary: you've got a state machine hiding here; make it explicit.  Articulate each of the intermediate and terminal states, and define the edges between them, and make sure that those align with your business requirements.  When you reach a terminal state, report the result.
ddd doesn't care very much -- you're calling into services that you don't have any control over; they aren't part of your bounded context.  So there isn't anything for you to do...
... unless your model is supposed to be keeping track of this song and dance.  In that case, your state machine begins to evolve into a process manager, where the persisted state of each process manager instance tells you how far along you've gotten in your event/email protocol.
From my understanding of DDD, the usual answer would be that you use "the" transaction to update the domain model, then make your external api calls asynchronously.  In other words, the transactions track the changes of the state machine, and the responses returned by the asynchronous calls are the triggers that advance the state machine.
See Reliable Messaging without Distributed Transactions
Written out long hand, your entire protocol might look like:

*

*Transaction #1, create the instance of the process manager in its initial state, and schedule an asynchronous call to the calendar api.

*Run the asynchronous call to the calendar api, and asynchronously publish the result to the process manager

*Transaction #2, update the process manager with the result of the call to the calendar api, persist the update, and schedule an asynchronous call to the email api

*Run the asynchronous call to the email api, and asynchronously publish the result to the process manager

*Transaction #3, update the process manager with the result of the call to the calendar api, etc.

Done this way, you can always figure out what state you are in, and re-schedule any dispatched commands that have not yet been acknowledged; this means that you can recover the process to the correct state after a restart by rehydrating it from the persistence layer, rescheduling commands as necessary.
The solution is a lot tidier if the commands you are running are - or can be made to seem - idempotent.
Note that this will be a better fit if the client doesn't require a synchronous response to the whole protocol (for instance, in a REST context, you would probably report back to the client that the process had been 201 Created, and give identify a resource that can be used to poll for updates).

A: I see very little DDD here. You have a method that takes some DTO and makes two external API calls.
We can talk about DDD if you actually have something (aggregate) in your model that is created for this event thing. Then, you might have some policies reacting to the domain events that is being published by that aggregate and so asynchronous API calls. You might have a process manager as pointed in the accepted answer, but I would avoid using distributed transactions.
Analyse, why would you expect Google API to fail? Do you plan to avoid something that probably never happens? Transactions are targeting for failure so you can easily roll back, but in this particular case you will have 99,99999% success.
Instead, I would plan for success of both calls and create some lightweight mechanism to tackle errors that will unlikely happen. If you use durable messaging with proper retry policy, you will silently recover almost all of possible network failures. In case you will still get a failure, you can always put failing message to the error queue and have your logging and monitoring infrastructure react on it (basically, send you an email).

This Friday is International Women's Day. There are many issues relating to gender equality that are worth discussing, but one that particularly interests me is the use of gendered language.
Most languages have not only different words for men, women, boys, and girls, but different personal pronouns for males and females, and different nouns for various professions depending on the person's gender.
Many people's first names also tend to be either male or female, though there is a trend in Israel to give girls what used to be male-only names. This might be considered as empowering to girls, but in many classrooms now people have to distinguish between two children with the same name but different genders, so they end up saying things like "Tal-the-girl" and "Tal-the-boy", rather than using full names as they would when there were two children of the same gender with the same name.
It seems that in most societies it is considered important to know whether a person is male or female, even in cases where this fact is, objectively, completely irrelevant. For example, if someone says: "I went to my doctor", a listener might ask: "What did he say?", and if the doctor is female, the reply would probably start "She said...", emphasizing that the person being discussed is a woman. This would seem to be more common when discussing non-traditional gender roles. For example, in Hebrew there are feminine forms for the professions "nurse" and "teacher", and because the vast majority of these professionals are female, the feminine plural noun is usually used. Similarly, in English people have to specify "male nurse".
The desire to use more inclusive forms in English has made people try to avoid saying "he" as the general form, and because "he or she" is inconvenient, the tendency is to use the plural wherever possible and say "they". However, many people seem to be using "they" as the gender-non-specific pronoun even in the singular, and I have heard this said even when the person's gender has been determined. For example, "My friend's sister had a job interview, but they didn't get the job". Perhaps just as "you" became both singular and plural eventually "they" will replace "he" and "she", though at the moment this seems unlikely.
Hebrew has an even more clearly gendered system, because even "I", "me", "you" (singular and plural), and "they" have masculine and feminine forms, and the verbs agreeing with these subjects are also gendered. This makes it impossible to be vague about gender, for example in a love song. "I love you" will specify whether the "I" and the "you" are male or female.
I have been wondering what it is like to have a language without genders. Apparently the following languages either have no genders or fewer ways of marking a gender: Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Persian, Basque, and Turkish. I am more confused by what I have read about Chinese and Japanese.
Would speakers of such languages still feel the need to find ways to convey whether their doctor was male or female? Do they have clearly gendered first names? Could we live in a society where language and naming conventions did not make everyone's gender such a big issue?

Protests staged by residents here against the Punjab government and the railways after 59 people were killed when a train crushed them as they were watching Dusshera celebrations, turned violent on Sunday leaving a few policemen injured following stone-pelting.
The injured policemen, including Punjab Police commandos, were rushed to a government hospital for treatment.
Police officials said that reinforcements were rushed to the area near the Joda Phatak (railway gate) where the situation turned violent on Sunday afternoon. Residents of the area indulged in stone pelting on the police when the latter tried to remove them from the railway tracks where the tragedy occurred on Friday evening.
The protestrers were demanding action against organisers of the Dusshera function near Joda Phatak for which hundreds of people had gathered to see the burning of the Ravan effigy.
The people were watching the proceedings from the live railway tracks when the Jalandhar-Amritsar DMU (diesel multiple unit) train crushed them.
The angry residents blocked traffic from crossing the Joda Phatak (railway gate) to show anger against the authorities not bothering about the families who had lost their loved ones, including women, children and youth.
Plying of trains on this section was stopped since Friday evening. Family members of the train tragedy victims said that Punjab cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu and his wife Navjot Kaur, who was the chief guest at the Dusshera function on Friday, had not even bothered to meet them despite their loss.
The Punjab government on Saturday ordered a magisterial probe into the train tragedy. The railways said it was not responsible for the tragedy.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has ordered a magisterial probe into the incident, including finding out if mandatory permissions for holding the function were given.
Opposition Shiromani Akali Dal demanded that a case of murder be registered against the organisers, who were mostly ruling Congress leaders.

'Arrow' Isn't Allowed to Use Deathstroke Anymore (Again)
Arrow fans were delighted when Manu Bennett reprised his role as Slade Wilson for the fifth and sixth seasons, Deathstroke costume and all. Sadly, that last two-parter may have to tide us over awhile, as Arrow bosses confirm DC once again rescinded access to the character.
For those unfamiliar with the character's Arrow history, Manu Bennett's Slade Wilson held a major role in the first and second seasons, before DC allegedly restricted access to both Deathstroke and the Suicide Squad in deference to their upcoming films. Arrow occasionally included variants on Deathstroke over the years, but it wasn't until Season 5's finale and a major Season 6 arc that Bennett formally resumed his role as the DC assassin.
That said – and beware minor Justice League spoilers from here on out – Joe Manganiello's official DCEU debut as the character seems once again to have restricted access to Deathstroke. Said Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim in an ACE Comic Con interview:
These are DC's characters, we're just renting them, you know? So we use the characters that they tell us we can use when we can use them, and we work around whatever limitations are placed on us … For a time they were saying 'you can't use Deathstroke.' Then that changed, and we were able to have Slade Wilson back on the show, and now we're back to 'you can't use him.' They're working on the feature film version. Now that you've got … obviously Slade – spoiler alert – Deathstroke appears at the end of the Justice League movie. It was a great scene, I think Joe is a great actor. You know, Manu's been very encouraging of his work. There's these intervals, and we try and take advantage of our opportunities when we have them.
The line between DC movie and TV characters has never been easy to chart, as The Flash offered no conflict with Ezra Miller's character, while Supergirl eventually got its own Superman, and even Arrow has taken to acknowledging Batman's existence. It nonetheless remains unclear where Manganiello's Deathstroke may pop up next, as DC is said to be rethinking its cinematic universe, while the character's original place in Matt Reeves' Batman standalone is no longer guaranteed. His own movie, perhaps?
No doubt Arrow fans will lament Deathstroke's absence (his last appearances also seemingly winked at spinoff potential), but will the character's next cinematic appearance make up for it?

International Charter activated for Typhoon Mangkhut in Philippines
The International Charter "Space and Major Disasters" has been activated on 18 September after Typhoon Manghut hit the northern coast of Luzon in the Philippines with winds of up to 180mph. This has made Manghut one of the strongest storms in decades.
The high winds also churned rough seas as it moved across Luzon, producing 30 feet-high waves, damaging forest, dragging electricity supplies and harming a farmland in Cagayan.
Mass evacuations, restricted travel and school closures have helped to manage the situation across the Philippines, with the army on standby to assist relief efforts.
On 16 September, Manghut was making its way to southeastern China after moving all across the Phillippines.

Zurich tramline expansions given the go ahead
12 April 2022, by Jan de Boer
Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ) has confirmed that the tram network in Zurich is to be expanded. Two tram lines, including the one to Zurich Airport, will be extended, with work expected to be completed by 2029.
Tram to be extended to Zurich Afoltern
After the Federal Council approved the project last Wednesday, VBZ confirmed that two tram lines are to be extended in the largest city in Switzerland. The project is due to cost 720 million Swiss francs in total, which also includes funding for new bike routes and flood protection.
The first project will see a direct tram connection between the city centre of Zurich and the rural suburb of Afoltern - home to the Katzensee. The route is currently served by a trolleybus, which will be converted into a tram to implement a faster, more efficient public transport system in the area.
Grand designs for public transport in Zurich
The second project will see the Glattalbahn extended beyond its terminus at the freight station of Zurich Airport. Instead, the tram will continue along into Kloten itself, stopping at the church and council (Gemeinde) before finishing in the Grindel industrial estate, home to international companies like Helvetic Airways.
This extension is part of a wider plan for trams in Zurich, with hopes to extend the airport line to Bassersdorf, Dietlikon and Dübendorf in future. This would allow the fastest growing areas of Zurich to be connected to the city centre more quickly and frequently.
VBZ said that construction on the new lines will start in 2026, with hopes of completion by 2029. It comes as one of the largest infrastructure projects in Zurich - the new tram between Alstetten and Dietikon - is set to be opened this summer.

Tuesday October 12th 1881 I went down town just before noon and Charlie and I went up to Harris a few moments. Charlie took dinner at Miss Lewis. It rained all the afternoon and evening Wednesday October 13th 1881 I was down town a little while this morning and in the afternoon went down to the Harris house and Bird went down town with me. I got a new hall lamp and looked at some furniture. It rained so we hurried home. Charlie spent the evening with us. Thursday October 14th 1881 We girls went down town this morning. I got me a new garnet ring and Bird was busy doing trading. I stopped with Charlie till dinner time. In the afternoon I went up on the hill and Miss Lewis and I went over on south hill. Called at Brydolfs, Tallants and Furneys. Charlie spent the evening with us, at Miss Lewis.

Evening Standard reports that heritage concerns may stop this 'reckless' scheme – and not the encroachment on public park nor the overlooking, nor the fact that this heralds intensification.
Heritage bosses have asked ministers to block a proposed 25-storey apartment building that they claim would "fundamentally harm" views of one of London's grandest Regency terraces.

SAMENA Telecommunications Council and Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) of Bahrain, respectively represented by CEO and Member of the Board of Directors of SAMENA Council, Mr. Bocar A. BA, and HE Sh. Nasser Bin Mohamed Al Khalifa, Acting General Director of TRA, have extended their co-operation building efforts and have officially entered into a collaborative framework, to help practically address pressing industry areas that concern the future of the Bahraini market as well as that of the Middle East.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding, both industry bodies, in their respective role as a trade association that seeks to further the interests of telecom operators in the SA-ME-NA region and as a regulator of the telecommunications industry in Bahrain, have defined a way forward to help develop the sector by facilitating common understanding and collaborative engagement, which should aid the identification of the industry's evolving priorities and areas of common interest with respect to sustaining progressive outlook on next-generation regulation; fulfilling national ICT development and capacity-building goals in the region; and enabling the fulfilment of Bahrain's economic and telecommunications development visions.
As a part of the collaborative agreement, SAMENA Council and TRA-Bahrain will organize consultations, studies, workshops, or develop common positions and whitepapers, or mutually identify, develop, or deploy any other platforms and mediums to achieve the defined core objectives of the agreement.
Mr. BA stated that "TRA-Bahrain is a progressive regulator renowned for its many firsts and out-of-the-box initiatives. Such openness and readiness to engage with the Private sector through SAMENA Council, especially with Telecom Operators, are a display of government-level understanding that doing business in the fifth-generation of regulation and industry development requires revamping traditional roles and pursuing more partnership-based initiatives that can enhance common understandings and help bring new opportunities to the surface. SAMENA Council is privileged to extend its sector-development partners' role to add value to the Bahraini telecom sector and to contribute to the larger digital economic development efforts underway within the region."
Both industry bodies, as enablers of Private and Public sector co-operation and collaboration building efforts, had previously discussed bringing public-private sector engagement to the next level, whereby the industry's sustainability needs as well as progress in regulatory transformation could be maintained to fulfil much larger digital transformational requirements of the region. SAMENA Council's ongoing active engagement with regional regulators and TRA-Bahrain's openness and future ICT vision have been the key factors, which will drive the new collaborative relationship between the two organizations.

Go on a journey through Time, Nature and Love with this new Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition
Jumira Hancock
Here's what you can expect to see at the exhibition when it opens on January 19…
For Van Cleef & Arpels, time, nature and love have been part of an ever-evolving design language, a driver of creativity since its founding in 1906.
A new exhibition at Riyadh's National Museum of Saudi Arabia, "Van Cleef & Arpels: Time, Nature, Love" delves deep into the company's long history of craftsmanship and innovation. An exhibition that showcases how the objects reflected the era in which they were created while remaining timeless in their appeal.
A post shared by What's On Saudi Arabia (@whatsonksa)
Open to the public from Thursday January 19 to Saturday April 15, the free exhibition is a dreamlike homage to the High Jewellery Maison's emblematic sources of inspiration.
More than 280 jewellery pieces, watches and precious objects – a mix of the brand's historical collection and more recent creations – will be on display for the first time in the Kingdom this week, along with private loans and archives. There are also many original drawings on display, which help understand the jewellery-making process.
The exhibition is divided into three thematic chapters, Time, Nature, and Love. Each focuses on the Maison's core values, interpreted through different eras, styles, and creative expressions. The sinuous scenography of the exhibition welcomes visitors with its neon-coloured lights, creating a poetic and mysterious space.
The first section, devoted to Time, takes up the largest part of the exhibition, encompassing ten rooms at the museum. The first room is dedicated to Paris (where Van Cleef & Arpels finds its origins), after which comes Elsewhere, followed by Italian writer Italo Calvino's five values: Lightness, Quickness, Visibility, Exactitude and Multiplicity. The last three rooms explore Intersections with Dance, Architecture and Couture – disciplines that have always inspired Van Cleef & Arpels' creative style.
It's little wonder that so much of the Maison's has been informed by love stories. A powerful energy, Love gave birth to the French jewellery house: it was founded in 1906 following the wedding of Alfred Van Cleef, the son of a gem cutter, and Estelle Arpels, the daughter of a dealer in precious stones, in Paris, a few years before. Here, some 30 pieces – clips, rings, bracelets, objects and more – together with sketches and archival documents illustrate the full symbolic power of precious gifts, as well as the bonds Van Cleef & Arpels forged with certain legendary couples who left their mark on the 20th century.
The final portion is dedicated to Nature, expressed through Botany, Flora, and Fauna. However, it's not just the beauty of nature that Van Cleef & Arpels is enthralled by – it is the constant state of metamorphoses of both flora and fauna that it admires and aims to encapsulate. This section calls to mind a stroll through a lush garden, enveloped in greenery and flowers in bloom, birds in flight and mischievous animals, all representative of the ever-evolving style of the Maison.
As the newest addition to the museum's line-up of exhibits, the "Van Cleef & Arpels: Time, Nature, Love" show – supported by the Saudi Ministry of Culture – will surely not disappoint, allowing visitors to discover an enchanting vision in which Maison's expert craftsmanship and pursuit of harmony come together as a true art form. And even better, did we mention that entry is free?
'Van Cleef & Arpels: Time, Nature, Love' Exhibition, The National Museum of Saudi Arabia, Halls 1 & 2, Mon to Wed & Sat 9am to 7pm, Thurs 9am to 10pm, Fri 2pm to 10pm. The event is free, but a ticket is required to enter.

//Add the click event handler on selected 'p' element.
//Modify the attributes and CSS styles of 'p' element.
In the above jQuery example the "p" is a jQuery selector that selects all the paragraphs. The paragraph text in the example above is given color automatically when the document is ready and performs some the action when the user clicks on the paragraph text.

For clients with less experience in working with point clouds or limited resources, we can provide a scan registration service. You can deliver your RAW scan files, and we'll do the rest. The size of the data is not an issue. We have worked on projects with over 5000 individual scans. Depending on client requirements we can register scans either in Leica Cyclone or Z&F Laser Control.
Clouds can be delivered in either registered or unified format, or simply transformed into a small text file. Based on our vast experience we have developed a number of in-house software solutions to aid us with full control of the registration process, which becomes essential in larger projects. We are currently working on our own in-house software for registration.

A retrospective analysis of river bed deformation over a 34-year period has been carried out for the first time for the Ural River in West Kazakhstan, in different environmental conditions. Horizontal shifts of the Ural riverbed have been defined according to space shots made in 2012. Erosion risk, as a result of horizontal displacement of the river bed has been determined in West Kazakhstan. A geomorphologic description of the Ural River bed and floodplain, and the dynamics of channel processes in the river within West Kazakhstan are given. The probable pattern of channel realignments for the Ural River has been determined. The paper describes the results of map compilation and related data consolidation with respect to the horizontal river bed shifts in West Kazakhstan, and includes a review of characteristics of the hydrologic and hydrochemical regimes of the river. The main river bed types, which are typical of flat terrain, are also discussed. West Kazakhstan is a region where there is medium-level ecologic stress on the river beds and floodplains.
