Q: I uninstalled all python versions but when I type python it's still there. How to fix it? I uninstalled all my versions of python and made sure that they are not showing up in Control Panel. Then I went to cmd and typed python and in a magic way, python 3.7.7 showed up. How am I supposed to uninstall it?
OS: WINDOWS 10 PRO

A: Go to windows command prompt and type:
where python

Should give you the path to the location of the binary excutable.
In the prompt you can also use
py --list-paths

You could also start python and execute this script
import os
import sys
os.path.dirname(sys.executable)

Also after uninstalling try to restart. (Besides I don't believe this will solve it).
After located try to follow the steps provided by aditya: here

Coming of age, Duchovny style in his feature debut as a director, X Files David Duchovny shows a sharp eye for composition. It's his tin ear for dialogue that dulls this nostalgia piece about Tom Warshaw (Duchovny), an artist living in Paris with his French wife and remembering his life in Manhattan, circa 1973, when he turned thirteen — just as his own son is doing now. Fade to Greenwich Village, where young Tommy (Anton Yelchin, offering subtlety in a film that is parched for it) must deal with a nurse mother (Tea Leoni, Duchovny's wife) fighting depression over her husband's death from cancer. To lift his spirits, Tommy partners with a retarded delivery guy named Pappas, played by Robin Williams without dodging any of the role's many mawkish pitfalls. When Tommy and Pappas hatch a plan to buy a bicycle, they hide their cash outside the — title alert — Women's House of Detention, where an inmate, Lady (Erykah Badu), gives Tommy advice on how to score drugs, score with a girl (Zelda Williams, Robin's daughter) and deal with plot complications right off a TV-drama assembly line. The film looks and feels authentic, but Duchovny has powered his undeniably personal journey with a counterfeit heart.

Build a shop and people will buy things from it.
Build a train network and people will ride it.
Build a house and people will live in it.
Build a playground and kids will play in it.
Build a fast car and people will drive it fast.
I'm going to presume you get what I mean by that. To increase cycling in the UK and to decrease our dependency on motorised transport, which is bad for the environment, we need to build good quality cycling facilities.
If we build these facilities then people will start to cycle. Just look at the stats for the Barclays Superhighway. My opinion of the superhighways is not high, I would want a much better standard of cycling infrastructure, one that would be safer and more enjoyable to use.
What ever type of facility is built, it needs to at least cater for the 'slower' cyclist. The cyclist that is a utilitarian, for people who don't wish to change clothes between bicycle ride and getting on with the rest of the day. Those are the people we need to attract into cycling. I feel that is where the greatest amount of potential is.
Build usable and safe cycling facilities and people will ditch the motor vehicle and cycle where practicable.
Also look at the barclays bike hire scheme! Hugely successful and thats without proper infrastructure and has relatively new riders taking on Londons "dangerous" streets!
Sorry to keep clogging your comments with links from Canada, but some evidence relevant to your post, just a couple of days ago an article appeared in our national news about bike congestion in Montreal after ridership grew since they put in high quality segregated infrastructure starting just a couple of years ago. The example given says 5 times more traffic in 2 years.
Don't be sorry, this sort of information is ace!

New Mid-City condos will start in the low $200,000s
Jennifer Larino, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
The development team behind a new, 21-unit condo building going up in Mid-City plans to market the project as housing for professionals like nurses, teachers and first responders.
The three-story project being built at 3100 Banks Street broke ground earlier this year and is expected to open in 2020, said Ilse Falk Stough, project manager for New Orleans Redevelopment Fund, one of its developers. The fund is teaming with Green Coast Enterprises to build the project.
The building will have 21 condos, nearly all of which will be one-bedroom units selling around $200,000, Stough said. The first floor will have one two-bedroom condo that will be priced slightly higher, as well as commercial space. Developers envision a coffee shop that serves light fare for the space.
Stough said the goal is to attract nurses, teachers and other young professionals who like living in Mid-City and want to stop renting, but can't afford to buy a house in the neighborhood. The demographic will likely skew young and single, though not necessarily, she said.
"It's a great price point for those who want to move out of an apartment and into something they own themselves, to build some equity," Stough said.
The Banks Street site used to house the old Escorial theater, which operated as a movie theater until it closed in 1956. The theater building was a mix of office and retail before a fire destroyed it in the 1990s. More recently, the land has sat vacant.
New Orleans Redevelopment Fund, a private equity real estate firm with a focus on redeveloping historic, blighted properties in New Orleans, bought the site in late 2014, according to assessor's records.
The company's office are a short walk from the site on Tulane Avenue. It also recently renovated a two-story house a block away at 3200 Banks Street. The building now houses Echo's Pizza on the ground floor and two apartments on the second floor.
In a news release, Will Bradshaw, president of Green Coast, said 3100 Banks is the result of multiple community meetings in addition to the development team's own experience in Mid-City and that area in particular.
"This is going to allow people to affordably purchase a home in a close knit and welcoming community, and it's going to transform a blighted property into a neighborhood asset," Bradshaw said.
'Investing in themselves': Single female homeownership is booming in New Orleans
Stough said the growth along Banks Street and in surrounding blocks has been impressive. It's busier and more walkable than ever before. Echo's is part of a wave of restaurants to open nearby. The Broad Street Whole Foods, which opened in early 2014, offers a close option for grocery shopping.
"This neighborhood is just transforming so quickly," Stough said.
One-bedroom units in the 3100 Banks development will average 750 square feet. The large unit on the ground floor will be roughly 1,400 square feet. No short term rentals will be allowed on the property.
For the coffee shop, the development team wants a space where "friends and families can get together," Cullan Maumus, NORF's director of development, said in the release. The team is still searching for a prospective tenant.
Will there be demand for small, apartment-like condos? Stough thinks so. Mid-City is an increasingly attractive neighborhood. More people are willing to sacrifice things like a yard and extra bedrooms to live walking or biking distance from bars and restaurants, a grocery store and places like Bayou St. John and City Park, she said.
And to buy a home in the $200,000 price range, "you'd have to move to a different neighborhood, potentially out of the city," Stough added.
The project is set to open in spring 2020.

Q: Comparing two VMHostVirtualSwitches that always show equal I am comparing a predetermined object (VMHostVirtualSwitch Name) value with all object(VMHostVirtualSwitch Names) values within a collection of objects and want the status to be "FAIL" if the objects don't match
I have written the following code so far but it doesn't seem to be working. I know the objects don't match and I should get "FAIL" as an output
$VMHostVirtualSwitch = Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost abc.com | Select-Object VirtualSwitch*
$Cluster = Get-Cluster -VMHost abc.com
$VMHosts = Get-Cluster $Cluster | Get-VMHost
[int]$Switchcount=0

foreach ($VMHost in $VMHosts){
  $CurrentHostVirtualSwitch = Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost $VMHost | Select-Object VirtualSwitch*
  if ($CurrentHostVirtualSwitch -ne $VMHostVirtualSwitch) {
   $Switchcount++
  }
}
if($Switchcount -ge 1) {
Write-Output "FAIL"
}

$VMHostVirtualSwitch has the following value
VirtualSwitch
-------------
{vSwitch3}

When I expand the $VMHostVirtualSwitch , I get the following values
Name                           NumPorts   Mtu   Notes
----                           --------   ---   -----
vSwitch3                       10562      2340

A: You problem is PowerShell does not know how to compare those objects. Even if they had the same data they are technically two different objects (a blog post touches on this subject). At the end of the day if you are just comparing the names then do your comparison on just those.
$VMHostVirtualSwitch = (Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost abc.com).VirtualSwitch.Name
$Cluster = Get-Cluster -VMHost abc.com
$VMHosts = Get-Cluster $Cluster | Get-VMHost
[int]$Switchcount=0

foreach ($VMHost in $VMHosts){
    $CurrentHostVirtualSwitch = (Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost $VMHost).VirtualSwitch.Name
    if ($CurrentHostVirtualSwitch -ne $VMHostVirtualSwitch) {
        $Switchcount++
    }
}

if($Switchcount -ge 1) {
    Write-Output "FAIL"
}

Now you should just be comparing strings which will get you more predictable results. I have only change the variable expansion in the above example. You might have some error checking to do to account for.
Something like this might be shorter then your loop
$badHosts = $VMHosts | Where-Object{(Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost $_).VirtualSwitch.Name -ne $VMHostVirtualSwitch}
if($badHosts.count -ge 1) {
    Write-Output "FAIL"
}

Compare-Object would also be a way to go for this, especially if there was multiple properties you were comparing: example. Since we are boiling down to simple strings I think what I propose should suffice.

Pages: 1105–1107
https://doi.org/10.4269/ajtmh.1977.26.1105
In an area of El Salvador moderately endemic for malaria, use of the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFA) showed that 44% of the infants born to mothers who had IFA responses to Plasmodium vivax of 1:20 or higher during the latter part of their pregnancy had positive IFA responses of 1:10 or higher to this antigen. No serum from an infant was positive in the absence of some level of malarial response in the mother.
Chemosuppressive Field Trials in Thailand

A chemosuppressive field trial in an area of Thailand with known chloroquineresistant falciparum malaria was undertaken to test the efficacy of the preparation sulfadoxine (S)-pyrimethamine (Py) in suppressing falciparum and vivax parasitemias. Seven hundred and forty-seven Thai villagers were randomly assigned to one of five study groups: sulfadoxine (1,000 mg)-pyrimethamine (50 mg) every 2 weeks [S-Py (high dose)]; sulfadoxine (500 mg)-pyrimethamine (25 mg) every 2 weeks [S-Py (low dose)]; diformyldapsone (400 mg)-pyrimethamine (25 mg) weekly [DFD-Py (high dose)]; diformyldapsone (200 mg)-pyrimethamine (12.5 mg) weekly [DFD-Py (low dose)]; and placebo. Six hundred and eight-eight study subjects (92%) completed the 26-week trial. Sulfadoxine (1,000 mg)-pyrimethamine (50 mg) given every 2 weeks was shown to be an effective chemosuppressive against both falciparum and vivax parasitemias, causing an eight-fold reduction in falciparum parasitemias, and an approximately three-fold reduction in vivax parasitemias. While the low dose S-Py group and the two DFD-Py groups were less effective than the high dose S-Py group in suppressing falciparum parasitemias, the high dose DFD-Py combination was as effective as the high dose S-Py combination in suppressing vivax parasitemias. There was no evidence of drug reactions. A discernible decrease in the leukocyte count was noted over a 6-month period in the high dose S-Py group.
Radical Cure of Infections with Plasmodium cynomolgi: a Function of Total 8-Aminoquinoline Dose *
L. H. Schmidt, Rochelle Fradkin, Dennis Vaughan and Jane Rasco
A series of studies on rhesus monkeys infected with sporozoites of the M and B strains of Plasmodium cynomolgi have shown: 1) at the same total course doses (with quinine as a companion blood schizonticidal drug) 7-day and 14-day dosage regimens of pamaquine, pentaquine, or isopentaquine are essentially equally effective in producing radical cure of infections with the M strain; 2) at the same total course dose (with chloroquine as a companion drug) a 7-day dosage regimen of primaquine is at least as effective as a 14-day dosage regimen in inducing radical cure of infections with the B strain, and may be slightly more effective; 3) at the same total course doses (with chloroquine as a companion drug), single dose, 3-day, and 7-day dosage regimens of primaquine or 4-methyl primaquine are essentially equally effective in producing radical cure of infections with the B strain. These observations have led to the conclusion that the total dose of 8-aminoquinoline administered is the primary determinant of radical curative activity, rather than the duration of drug treatment. This total dose concept derives support from currently available observations on the capacity of primaquine to cure naturally acquired and induced infections with P. vivax and underpins the current search for 8-aminoquinoline derivatives which will cure such infections when administered in single dose or three daily dose treatment regimens.
IgM and Antibody Measurement in the Diagnosis and Management of Gambian Trypanosomiasis
H. C. Whittle, B. M. Greenwood, D. E. Bidwell, Ann Bartlett and A. Voller
Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IgM were measured in 182 patients at various stages of Gambian sleeping sickness and correlated with antibody levels measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Each of these tests in serum gave a 30% false negative result, but when both were used this fell to 12%. Measurements of IgM in CSF were raised in 87% of patients with advanced disease and in none of the early cases. The IgM levels fell slowly to normal by 12 months after treatment. A high level at this time, or a rise after treatment, was helpful in diagnosing relapsed patients. Antibody levels in CSF were of no use in diagnosis or prognosis, and were raised in many controls.
Immunodiffusion, Counterimmunoelectrophoresis and Immunofluorescence in Diagnosis of Sudan Mucosal Leishmaniasis
R. E. Abdalla
Sera from 16 patients suffering from oral, nasal, oro-nasal or laryngeal types of Sudan mucosal leishmaniasis were tested against leishmanial antigen by three immunodiagnostic methods. Reactive soluble antigen was prepared from sonicated promastigotes. When tested against undiluted sera, in all 16 cases it gave easily visible precipitin lines in agar gel in both immunodiffusion and counterimmunoelectrophoresis tests. In immunofluorescence tests, with promastigote slide antigen and using the indirect antibody technique, the sera were positive at serum dilutions ranging from 1:200 to 1:6,400. There was no correlation between fluorescent titer levels and the strength of precipitin reactions in the immunodiffusion and counterimmunoelectrophoresis tests. Sixteen normal sera gave negative results in all three tests.
Comparison of Immediate Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Fixation with Delayed Schaudinn's Fixation for the Demonstration of Protozoa in Stool Specimens *
Edward K. Markell and Patricia M. Quinn
Immediate fixation of stool specimens in polyvinyl alcohol fixative (PVA) was compared with Schaudinn's fixation delayed until the specimens were received in the laboratory, in a series of 100 consecutive positive stool specimens. More specimens were found positive following PVA fixation, and the numbers of organisms present on the slides were greater in specimens processed by this technique than after Schaudinn's fixation. It is concluded that immediate fixation results in the preservation of larger numbers of organisms in a recognizable state. The routine use of PVA fixation prior to transportation of the specimen to the laboratory is recommended.
Filaria in the Vitreous of the Eye of Man in Peninsular Malaysia
A. S. Dissanaike, S. Ramalingam, A. Fong, S. Pathmayokan, V. Thomas and S. P. Kan
An active worm was seen in the right eye of a 62-year-old man in Malaysia. The worm was behind the lens and attached at one end to some vitreous fibers. It was tentatively identified as an immature Dirofilaria immitis. There appear to be only five previous authentic reports of filariae in the vitreous.
Bancroftian Filariasis in Puerto Limón, Costa Rica
Herman Weinstock, Francisco Paniagua, José Luis Garcés, Alberto Zúñiga, Carlos Granados and Eladio Hernández
In four neighborhoods of Puerto Limón, a Caribbean coastal city in a tropical rainforest area of Costa Rica, examination of 1-ml samples of night blood from 1,142 randomly selected, and 1,196 associated, persons by the Knott and filter-chamber techniques revealed microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti in about 3% of the 2,338 samples. The frequency of infection was higher in males (3.9%) than in females (1.9%), higher in persons of black (4.1%) than of white (1.0%) race, and highest in persons aged 10–19 (4.0%) and over 50 years (4.8%), lowest in those under 10 years (1.1%). The median microfilaria density was 3.5, the highest 45, per 20 lambdas of blood. Microfilaremia was distinctly periodic. Dissection of 663 female Culex pipiens fatigans from 42 houses of infected persons revealed filarial larvae in 25; only 1 larva was third (infective) stage. Of 64 infected persons, 11 had clinical findings suggestive of filariasis. Elephantiasis was seen in 21 others. Other forms of symptomatic filariasis without microfilaremia, though presumed to be present, were not assessed specifically.
Streptocerciasis: Observation of Adult Male Dipetalonema streptocerca in Man *
Wayne M. Meyers, Ronald C. Neafie, Roger Moris and Jacques Bourland
In 75 biopsy specimens of skin from 34 patients with streptocerciasis who had been treated with diethylcarbamazine, we found 39 female and six male adult Dipetalonema streptocerca in the dermal collagen. This is the first report of adult male D. streptocerca in man, and identifying features are described.
A Precipitin Test for the Diagnosis of Human Abdominal Angiostrongyliasis
Mauricio Sauerbrey
A precipitin reaction was observed when sera of cotton rats infected either naturally or experimentally with Angiostrongylus costaricensis were tested by gel double-diffusion against sera obtained from three biopsy-confirmed human cases of A. costaricensis. With immunoelectrophoresis, the antigen was demonstrated in the serum of infected rats. The antibody in the human serum was mostly of the IgG type. No cross reactions were seen with sera from individuals infected with the common intestinal helminths, or individuals serologically positive for Toxocara, A. cantonensis, Chagas' disease, amebiasis, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, or syphilis.
Evaluation of the Indirect Immunofluorescence and Complement Fixation Tests for the Serodiagnosis of Schistosomiasis *
Marianna Wilson, Janet Fried, Russell M. McQuay and Alexander J. Sulzer
Sera from patients with a variety of infections were used to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the complement fixation (CF) and the indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) tests for schistosomiasis. Adult antigens were used in both tests. The sensitivities of the IIF and CF tests were 95% and 69%, respectively; the specificities were 98% and 100%, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the number of positive reactors among those individuals with no detectable helminth infection and those infected with helminths other than schistosomes. Infected people native to endemic areas had lower reactivity in both tests than did infected U.S. citizens who resided in endemic areas for only a few years. We concluded that the IIF test with adult antigen was more sensitive than and as specific as the CF test; therefore, the IIF test is the procedure of choice for routine diagnostic serology of schistosomiasis.
Mother-Child Relationship in Human Schistosomiasis Mansoni
Ferrucio Santoro, Radovan Borojevic, Daniel Bout, Pierre Tachon, José C. Bina and André Capron
Immunoglobulins, anti-Schistosoma mansoni antibodies, complement components and schistosome antigens were investigated in milk from mothers infected with S. mansoni. No significant differences of immunoglobulins or complement component levels were observed between infected and control mothers. Anti-S. mansoni antibodies were detected in the milk of 8 out of 25 infected mothers. A significant relationship was observed between serum and milk antibody levels. Two circulating S. mansoni antigens, parasite "M" antigen and antigen "4," were demonstrated in milk from infected patients by the double diffusion micromethod. The function of these immunologically active substances transmitted by milk from mother to child is discussed.
Schistosoma mansoni Tegumental Appendages: Scanning Microscopy Following Thiocarbohydrazide-Osmium Preparation
A. W. Senft and W. B. Gibler
Scanning photographs of the surface of normal adult male and female Schistosoma mansoni are given. The specimens were prepared using a thiocarbohydrazide technique which facilitates the binding of osmium. The resultant deep penetration of osmium preserves surface detail for electron reflection. The schistosomal tegument is characterized by a variety of surface bosses and spines. The function of certain of these is thought to be tactile or as chemoreceptors. Numerous tegumental pores surrounding setae in surface tubercles are shown. Clefts in the inner aspect of the gynecophoral canal are also seen. The excretory pore in both male and female is shown, along with a cluster of receptors at the terminus of the gynecophoral groove. Such grouped receptors may function to indicate position of the worm in copula.
Schistosomiasis Mansoni in the Hamster: Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses to Soluble Egg Antigens (Sea) *
U.-P. Oberlin and N. Weiss
Cellular and humoral immune responses to soluble egg antigens (SEA) were studied in the course of Schistosoma mansoni infection in the hamster. No immune response to SEA could be detected before the parasite had started oviposition. The liver granuloma size reached a maximum 6 weeks after infection and decreased rapidly thereafter. The in vitro cell-mediated immune response to SEA (lymphocyte blast transformation) showed a maximum reaction 12 to 16 weeks after infection (depending on the infection rate) and also declined later. Parallel to the lowered reactivity of the lymphocytes to SEA in vitro, responsiveness to the nonspecific T-cell mitogen, phytohemagglutinin M, was also reduced in chronic infections. Humoral anti-SEA antibodies could be detected in increasing amounts up to 10 weeks after exposure.
Edwardsiellosis in Man and Animals in Panamá: Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics *
Miguel Kourany, Manuel A. Vasquez and Rolando Saenz
Edwardsiella tarda was isolated during etiologic and epidemiologic investigations of diarrheal disease agents in man and for Enterobacteriaceae in various species of wild-caught animals in Panamá. A total of 50 strains were recovered from approximately 14,000 specimens cultured between 1965 and 1972. In this period, Edwardsiella was isolated from ten individuals with a clinically diagnosed diarrheal syndrome, while 20 of some 3,000 persons from rural areas were asymptomatic carriers of these organisms. Edwardsiella tarda was also associated with two fatal cases of extraintestinal infection in man. In both cases liver abscess was a predominant feature. Edwardsiella was not demonstrated in either symptomatic or asymptomatic persons from urban areas. Edwardsiella tarda was present among some of the wild fauna of Panamá; various species of animals including snakes, toads, monkeys, and opossums harbored this organism.
Intranasal Infection of Monkeys with Japanese Encephalitis Virus: Clinical Response and Treatment with a Nuclease-Resistant Derivative of Poly(I)·Poly(C) *
Donald G. Harrington, Duane E. Hilmas, Michael R. Elwell, Richard E. Whitmire and Edward L. Stephen
In the first experiment two rhesus (Macaca mulatta) and two cynomolgus (Macaca fasicularis) monkeys were inoculated intranasally (i.n.) with 3 × 107 plaque-forming units (PFU) of the Peking strain of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) to establish the time course of infection and resulting mortality. The onset of clinical signs for both species of monkeys occurred on days 5 to 9, with fever of several days duration, anorexia and depression. Death ensued in 11 to 12 days. An i.n. median lethal dose equivalent to 2.5 × 104 PFU of the Peking strain of JEV was determined in 16 additional cynomolgus monkeys. Clinical signs of infection, virus-neutralizing antibody formation, and mortality were dose-dependent for the doses of virus inoculated. Total peripheral blood leukocyte and neutrophil values increased midway during the course of infection in monkeys that died with encephalitis. Microscopic lesions of JE were similar in monkeys that died following virus challenge. No species-related differences in response to JEV challenge were evident. A nuclease-resistant complex of polyriboinosinic·polyribocytidylic acid, poly-l-lysine and carboxymethylcellulose [poly(ICLC)] reduced mortality by 50% in monkeys treated initially 8 or 24 h after virus challenge. Mean survival time of nonsurvivors was prolonged 3.5 days and microscopic lesions of encephalitis were less severe in the poly(ICLC)-treated monkeys when compared to infected-untreated monkeys. The response of rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys to JEV challenge by the i.n. route of inoculation thus provides a useful model for the study of potential antiviral compounds in host defense against Japanese encephalitis.
Replication of Dengue-2 Virus in Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes
Siriporn Sriurairatna and Natth Bhamarapravati
Sequential electronmicroscopic studies of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes infected with dengue-2 virus showed replication of virus particles and vesicular structures confined to cells having an active, rough, endoplasmic reticulum. Small granules not found on the surface of virions produced in mammalian cells were seen on the envelopes of the virus particles. There was no evidence of nuclear involvement as described in infected mouse neurones, and there was no apparent impairment of cellular function. Substantial viral replication was confined to cells of the salivary glands and nervous tissue, with lesser involvement of midgut, hemocytes, epidermal cells, fatbody, and foregut.
Identification and Neutralization of Biological Activities Associated with Venom from the Brown Recluse Spider, Loxosceles reclusa *
Josephine M. Futrell and Paul N. Morgan
Venom from the brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, reacted with human erythrocytes to form venom-sensitized erythrocytes. These cells were agglutinated specifically by high dilutions of adsorbed rabbit antivenin or were lysed by normal blood group compatible human sera. The specific rabbit antivenin prevented venom from attaching to erythrocytes, from interacting with serum complement, and from producing dermonecrotic lesions in rabbits. Results of experiments involving heat inactivation and adsorption to erythrocytes provide circumstantial evidence to suggest that the three biological activities of venom could be associated with a single component or few components with similar properties. The component interacting with serum complement is immunologically distinct from a factor in cobra venom which possesses similar biological activities.
Human Infection with Trichostrongylus lerouxi (Biocca, Chabaud, and Ghadirian, 1974) in Iran *
E. Ghadirian
Examination of specimens collected after anthelmintic treatment revealed that among 50 persons infected with Trichostrongylus species in each of three regions of Iran (northern, central, and southwestern), T. lerouxi Biocca, Chabaud, and Ghadirian, 1974 was found in 22%, 14%, and 8%, respectively. The corresponding mean numbers of T. lerouxi were 5.0, 4.5, and 2.3 per infected person. These findings bring to nine the number of Trichostrongylus species reported in man in Iran.

Actress Carole Lombard killed in plane crash
January 16, 2020 Uncategorizedsleuthboss
Previously posted at: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/carole-lombard-killed-in-plane-crash
On January 16, 1942, the actress Carole Lombard, famous for her roles in such screwball comedies as My Man Godfrey and To Be or Not to Be, and for her marriage to the actor Clark Gable, is killed when the TWA DC-3 plane she is traveling in crashes en route from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. She was 33.
Gable and Lombard met in 1932 during the filming of No Man of Her Own. He was just starting out on his trajectory as one of Hollywood's top leading men and she was a talented comedic actress trying to prove herself in more serious roles. Both were married at the time–Gable to a wealthy Texas widow 10 years his senior and Lombard to the actor William Powell–and neither showed much interest in the other. When they met again, three years later, Lombard had divorced Powell and Gable was separated from his wife, and things proceeded quite differently. Much to the media's delight, the new couple was open with their affection, calling each other Ma and Pa and exchanging quirky, expensive gifts. In early 1939, Gable's wife finally granted him a divorce, and he married Lombard that April.
In January 1942, shortly after America's entrance into World War II, Howard Dietz, the publicity director of the MGM film studio, recruited Lombard for a tour to sell war bonds in her home state of Indiana. Gable, who had been asked to serve as the head of the actors' branch of the wartime Hollywood Victory Committee, stayed in Los Angeles, where he was set to begin filming Somewhere I'll Find You with Lana Turner. Dietz advised Lombard to avoid airplane travel, because he feared for its reliability and safety, and she did most of the trip by train, stopping at various locations on the way to Indianapolis and raising some $2 million for the war effort.
On the way home, however, Lombard didn't want to wait for the train, and instead boarded the TWA DC-3 in Las Vegas with her mother, Elizabeth Peters, and a group that included the MGM publicity agent Otto Winkler and 15 young Army pilots. Shortly after takeoff, the plane veered off course. Warning beacons that might have helped guide the pilot had been blacked out because of fears about Japanese bombers, and the plane smashed into a cliff near the top of Potosi Mountain. Search parties were able to retrieve Lombard's body, and she was buried next to her mother at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California, under a marker that read "Carole Lombard Gable."
Hysterical with grief and adrift in the empty house he had shared with Lombard, Gable drank heavily and struggled to complete his work on Somewhere I'll Find You. He was comforted by worried friends, including the actress Joan Crawford. That August, Gable decided to enlist in the U.S. Army Air Forces. He spent most of the war in the United Kingdom, and flew several combat missions (including one to Germany), earning several decorations for his efforts. He would remarry twice more, but when he died in 1960 Gable was interred at Forest Lawn, next to Lombard.

Dash Venture Labs offers an in-depth information about startup cycle and types of funding available, including governments grants and similar offerings from other financial institutions
Dubai – Dash Venture Labs has launched a "Start-up guide for Funding", which aims to empower founders with the various funding avenues available in today's changing business ecosystem.
The objective is to understand the stages of startup cycle and types of funding available, including governments grants and similar offerings from other financial institutions.
The guide, which is developed in collaboration with Ascent Partners, has been primarily divided into three key sections: 1) Why do startups require funding? 2) Stages of funding, and 3) Types of funding for each stage.
Each section is designed to provide a deeper understanding of the subject, especially for the founders and entrepreneurs to understand the reasons and stages of funding.
Furthermore, liquidity does not seem to be a problem for founders today, but they should understand the importance of each round of funding and modern structures designed around each capital raising activity. More importantly, how these will impact their shareholding structure and future fund-raising activity.
Shailesh Dash, Founder of Dash Venture Labs, said: "Startups have become an important engine for growth across the region, hence, we wanted to launch a guide for them to understand the funding ecosystem. More importantly, the objective is to describe the various avenues available across the region and how they can capitalize on them to fund their ideas or scale their existing business ventures."
First section of the guide focuses on the importance for founders to understand the reason for raising funds from various avenues available in the market today.
Second section of the guide, which emphasizes on the stages of funding within the startup ecosystem. Given that there are multiple sources of funding available, it is important for that the source of funding typically matches the stages of operations of the startups.
Third section of the guide is the most important for the founders as it outlines the types of funding available across the ecosystem. It is important for the founder to understand the relevance of each funding avenues and its impact of shareholding pattern.
Moreover, it is also highlighting the challenges in raising funds from different avenues and expectations from each of the stakeholder. In this section, we have also shown the comparison table for the types of funding based on size, availability and time frame.
Mr Dash said the launch of this guide is particularly important at a time when valuation and business models of startups have come under the scanner on the back of changing investment landscape. "Hence, it will be imperative for startup founders to evaluate their businesses and accordingly plan out its funding requirement over the next 12 to 18 months, which could be challenging for raising funds. Having said that, the regional startups continue to attract interest from both regional and international investors, which should encourage founders with sound and scalable business models to tap this opportunity. It will also be essential for founders to select the right investor partners that will not only bridge the funding requirements but also add value in terms of building partnerships and launching into new markets," he said.
Total value of investments in startups in MENA reached $1.73 billion, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 67.6%. In terms of total deals, the H1 of 2022 reported 354 transactions compared to 294 in the same period of last year.

In 2013, I had several surgical procedures done at one time, requiring 6 to 8+ weeks of healing time. The first three weeks, I expected to feel pain and fatigue, but the second three weeks I was a little discouraged expecting to be feeling better by now.
As each day passed, and eager to get back to some sort of normal, it began to seem like it might never happen. I was told by many women that they never regretted having the surgery done and I was looking forward to being free of the limitations I'd had and getting my energy back.
But, as the days went on, I began to feel like I would never be the same. When you are in physical pain, it's often hard to see beyond that moment. You want to feel better, you expect to feel better, but the pain and weakness persist.
Will my life ever be the same?, I wondered. My muscles were weak, I was tired all the time. And, to make matters worse, I had to return to work. I was anxious, feeling like I wasn't ready, but they needed me desperately. So, I said a lot of prayers and went off to work.
The first day, I took it easy and walked a little more slowly than my usual fast pace, but I made it through and wasn't totally exhausted. Over the next few days, I was relieved that I was coping, even though I still felt out of sorts.
Maybe I was just going to have adjust to this new way of being. Maybe I'd just have to accept that this wasn't going to pass.
It was about half way through my workday one Friday when I realized, with great relief, that I actually felt normal! I was back to my normal pace, with great hope that I would eventually feel even better than before the surgery. A year has passed and I am now in better shape than I've been for years.
As I paused to express gratitude, I realized that these same thoughts and feelings can persist for us in a mental or emotional way as well–a loved one dies, your sweet child becomes a mouthy teenager, your spouse leaves you, or you lose your job.
For a time, all you feel is the hurt, the pain. You feel weak and vulnerable. You mourn your loss. It seems nothing will ever be the same again. Every day, you long to feel normal.
Then, one day when you're least expecting it, it happens. You wake up and go about your day, happily, and suddenly you realize, I feel good. The sun has come out and the clouds have passed. All is well again.
Life is cyclical. Just as the moon rotates around the earth, causing the tides to ebb and flow, so it is with our lives. In the growth cycle, sometimes we feel up, sometimes we feel down. We will always have ebbs and flows. Awareness and acceptance of this fact will bring a different perspective. When we're in a low cycle, we can acknowledge it without judgment and remember that this, too, will pass and that we'll soon be feeling good again. Things will get better.
One day, life will be back to "normal" in whatever strange and unique way that is yours to enjoy.

Flag raising ceremony
Recently, the Zambia Overseas Chinese Association held an administrative work conference in Lusaka. Deng Guomin, general manager of Guangjin International Group (Zambia) Branch, was also invited to attend the meeting. Zhang Jian, President of the General Meeting, Zou Ling, Honorary President, and Vice Presidents and members of the Board of Directors attended the meeting.
A grand flag-raising ceremony was held before the official start of the meeting. With the solemn national anthem played, the five-star red flag rose and the members of the meeting lined up neatly.
After the participants were seated, Zhai Ling, the president of the Overseas Chinese Association of Zambia, and the honorary president/general founder Zou Ling gave speeches.
Speech by Zhang Jian, President of the Overseas Chinese Association of Zambia
President Zhang Jian briefly reviewed the development of the Zambia Overseas Chinese Association.He said that since the establishment of the Overseas Chinese Association of Zambia, it has achieved remarkable results in rescuing the lives of overseas Chinese, regulating the contradictions of overseas Chinese, publicizing local laws and regulations, publishing news information, and organizing cultural and recreational activities, effectively promoting the co-construction of the Zanhua community. Has achieved the trust of the vast number of overseas Chinese.
President Zhang Jian said that in order to move toward the goal of "first-class overseas Chinese society", the general meeting will reform the organization, add full-time personnel, and strengthen the concept of fixed-term employment; play the emergency medical assistance center and the public security joint defense center to protect the health and safety of overseas Chinese. Important role of the aspect;The establishment of a large-scale event organization center, China International Cultural Exchange Center, etc., to enrich the cultural life of Chinese people; the establishment of a charity fund management center, the establishment of legal aid and the joint construction of police and civilians, to better serve the overseas Chinese.
President Zhang Jian said that in the future, the General Assembly will continue to adhere to the principle of "co-construction and sharing for all" and achieve the tenet of "being a motherland, impartially responsible, and transmitting positive energy", truly safeguarding the vast number of people living in Zambia.
Speech by Zou Ling, Honorary President of Overseas Chinese of Zambia and Founder of the General Conference
Honorary President Zou Ling made recommendations on the development and construction of the Zambia Overseas Chinese Association. He said that since the establishment of the General Assembly, he has done a lot of work for the overseas Chinese to solve problems. In the future, the General Assembly should continue to improve the system's work processes, strengthen organizational unity, and carry out work in a more orderly manner.
Honorary President Zou Ling suggested that the positioning of the next step of the General Assembly includes: focusing on the non-profit of the organization; actively transmitting positive energy; strengthening the construction of the Chinese home, and providing assistance to the overseas Chinese in Zambia, and actively guiding the overseas Chinese to maintain the total The image of the meeting; strengthen the docking with relevant domestic institutions, implement all tasks in an orderly manner under the guidance of the embassy and the overseas Chinese office, and promote the building of party building; establish party organizations in the general meeting, give play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party members, and establish an incentive mechanism, Encourage the enthusiasm of the members of the General Assembly; strengthen the construction of the General Assembly itself.
The convening of this administrative work conference expressed the purpose of the Zanhua people's "heart of the motherland, fairness, and positive energy." At the same time, it greatly encouraged the confidence of the overseas Chinese in their development, provided a stable guarantee for the better development of the overseas Chinese, and better escorted the majority of the overseas Chinese.

Brain Scans Explain Quickness to Blame
New research from Duke University helps explain the paradox of why we are quick to blame people for their actions, but slower to give them credit.
We constantly read others' intentions in what they do — from seeing someone help an elderly person cross the street or cutting in line or committing a heinous crime. Judgments about intentionality are threaded deeply within our legal system and pervasive in our support of political candidates, and have been the focus of discussion for the past decade in the philosophical literature.

Published in Scientific Reports, the Duke study is "the first to use neuroscience research tools to try to explain why people are biased toward treating negative actions as intentional but positive actions as unintentional," said the study's lead author Lawrence Ngo, now a first-year resident in internal medicine at the Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, N.C.
Take this scenario commonly used in the field of experimental philosophy:
The CEO knew the plan would harm the environment, but he did not care at all about the effect the plan would have on the environment. He started the plan solely to increase profits. Did the CEO intentionally harm the environment?
If you said 'yes,' then you align with the majority: In previously published work, 82% responded that the CEO was deliberate. When the researchers replaced the single word "harm" with "help" in the scenario, however, only 23% deemed the CEO's actions intentional. The research team found similar results when they posed numerous similar situations to study participants.
"There's no logical reason why we would call something intentional, just because it causes a bad outcome as opposed to a good outcome," said corresponding author Scott Huettel, professor of psychology and neuroscience and member of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.
"Intentionality implies purpose on the part of the person, and that should be there for good as much as it is for bad. But it's not," Huettel added.
To understand why, Huettel's team assessed differences in personality traits and other psychological measures. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, a type of non-invasive brain scan, the researchers also analyzed activity of individuals' brains while they read the scenarios.
The team found that people use two different mechanisms to judge how intentional an action was. If the action produced a negative effect, participants were more likely to draw on brain areas involved in processing emotion (in particular, the amygdala, a pair of almond-shaped structures deep in the brain that is well known for its role in processing negative emotions).
The greater the emotional reaction the participant reported having to a particular story, the stronger it activated their amygdala. But if an action produced a positive effect, it was less likely to set off the amygdala.
On the other hand, for positive outcomes people relied less on emotion and more on statistics. That is, they thought about how often people in a particular situation would behave in a similar way. In the example of the CEO who makes a profit and also helps the environment, participants were more likely to say that because CEOs commonly aim to make money, helping the environment was an unintentional side-effect.
How intentional a crime was often affects the final ruling, and our broader moral judgments. But the new study, Huettel said, shows that the arrow can go in both directions: Moral judgments about whether an action harmed others can influence judgments about how intentional that action was in the first place.
More generally, "the most rewarding part of the work was how seeing how the intersection between philosophy and neuroscience gave us new insights about both fields," Ngo said.
Duke researchers are already making strides toward bridging these disparate fields. Huettel and his collaborators are planning new studies on trust, deception and altruism.
