The Originals és una sèrie de televisió estatunidenca de gènere dramàtic creada per Julie Plec. La sèrie és derivada de Diaris de Vampirs, creada per Kevin Williamson i Plec, basada en la sèrie de llibres homònima escrita per Lisa Jane Smith. La sèrie és protagonitzada per Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies i Claire Holt, i va estrenar-se el 3 d'octubre del 2013.

Argument
Seguint una pista misteriosa que s'està gestant un complot contra seu, Klaus viatja a la ciutat que ell i la seva família van ajudar a construir: Nova Orleans. La investigació de Klaus el porta a un retrobament amb el seu antic protegit, Marcel, un vampir que té el control total dels habitants humans i sobrenaturals de la ciutat. Decidit a ajudar el seu germà a trobar la redempció, Elijah va a la recerca d'en Klaus i aviat s'adona que Hayley també ha arribat al barri francès buscant-hi pistes sobre la seva història familiar, i ha caigut en mans d'una poderosa bruixa anomenada Sophie, qui els revela una cosa que fa a Klaus replantejar-se les coses i que pot tornar a unir la seva família. Les tensions entre les faccions sobrenaturals de la ciutat estan a punt de trencar-se mentre Marcel governa com a absolut. Per a Klaus, la idea de respondre davant el seu poderós protegit és impensable, i es compromet a recuperar el que algun cop va ser seu, per això, juntament amb Elijah, forma una difícil aliança amb les bruixes per assegurar que Nova Orleans es regirà per Els Originals un cop més.

While starting and completing projects using the great products and services from The Home Depot is fun and rewarding, first you need to make sure that you're doing these projects and tasks safely and with the right personal protective equipment. Having proper safety gear is paramount to avoiding injury, so we've got all the safety supplies you need to make sure you're working safely.
Helmets and steel-toe work boots and helmets are a requirement on all construction sites and should be your first concern when working in an area where there are heavy objects being moved around. Whether you're building a deck, remodelling your kitchen or just moving things from one room to another, consider wearing safety shoes that protect your feet from danger and a helmet that can keep you safe in the event of falling objects or a fall yourself.
Heated jackets can be charged and worn on cold winter days in order to protect you from the elements and keep you warm. They have an internal battery and can be recharged for multiple uses in a day and as a bonus, can even be worn away from the worksite to keep you warm when you're out and about.
Wearing a respirator in any situation where you could be affected by fumes is critical to keeping you safe. Consider choosing one that utilizes filters that can be replaced to get the most out of your purchase. Earplugs are also essential when working in environments that are loud in order to protect your hearing and eardrums from stress and damage.
Wearing gloves is important, when dealing with corrosive, toxic or dirty material, to keep your hands clean and safe. Consider latex gloves for more intricate work or heavier gloves for more demanding jobs.

Carl Friedrich Goerdeler (31. juli 1884 – 2. februar 1945) var en tysk jurist og nationalkonservativ politiker. Han tilhørte en af de førende grupper i den tyske modstand mod nazismen og skulle efter 20. juli-attentatet efter planerne have overtaget rigskanslerembedet.

Goerdeler kom fra en prøjsisk embedsmandsfamilie. Fra 1911 var han kommunalpolitiker, og fra 1930 til 1937 var han Leipzigs overborgmester og var desuden flere gange på tale som rigskansler.

Han så i begyndelsen positivt på den nazistiske magtovertagelse, men på grund af sit konservative livssyn var han imod medlemskab af NSDAP, og han udviklede sig frem til 1936 til en overbevist modstander af regimet. Da mindesmærket i Leipzig for den jødiske komponist Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy i november 1936 blev ødelagt, trådte Goerdeler demonstrativt tilbage fra overborgmesterposten. I de følgende år rejste han rundt i Vesten for at advare mod nazismen.

Ved begyndelsen af 2. verdenskrig dannedes omkring Goerdeler en gruppe af civile modstandsfolk, der ønskede at bringe det nazistiske overherredømme til fald. Denne såkaldte "Goerdeler gruppe" ("Goerdeler Kreis") udgjorde et åndeligt center for oppositionen mod Hitler og havde talrige kontakter med andre modstandsgrupper, ikke mindst den militære omkring Ludwig Beck. Efter sammenbruddet af 20. juli-attentatet blev Goerdeler dømt til døden af den såkaldte Folkedomstol og den 2. februar 1945 henrettet i Berlin-Plötzensee fængslet.

The Indiana Supreme Court affirmed a trial court's entry of summary judgment for a landowner against the owner of the property's adjacent lot when it found that Indiana's common-law rule prohibited the unilateral relocation of fixed easements.
In 2011, Joseph DeSpirito obtained one of two adjoining lots that were previously one single parcel of land in Ellettsville, Indiana. DeSpirito obtained his lot, Lot 2, by a special limited warranty deed that did not explicitly mention a utility easement running through the adjacent Lot 1. In 2014, Richland Convenience Store Partners obtained Lot 1.
The next year, Richland requested permission from the Town of Ellettsville Plan Commission to move the utility easement on Lot 1, along with the private sewer line running beneath it, 15 to 20 feet south to increase the buildable area of Lot 1.
Despite DeSpirito's opposition, the commission approved Richland's request, and DeSpirito petitioned for judicial review.
A trial court found that DeSpirito, as owner of Lot 2, had a fixed utility easement through Lot 1 and held that the easement's fixed location meant it could not "be changed by either party without consent of the other." The trial court then granted DeSpirito's motion for summary judgment and remanded to the commission with instructions to dismiss Richland's petition unless DeSpirito agreed to it.
The Indiana Court of Appeals agreed but found the trial court's cited caselaw involved "an easement by necessity" and thus did not apply. The appellate court then adopted the Restatement (Third) of Property (Servitudes) Section 4.8 (2000). But the Indiana Supreme Court vacated that decision and chose to instead adhere to common law, which requires all affected estate-holders to consent to the relocation of a fixed easement.
Among other things, the Supreme Court found that "Indiana's common law follows a bright-line rule that is easy to apply, in contrast to the restatement's multifactor test, which leads to uncertain results." The high court further explained that common law would settle expectations for property values, minimize litigation, avoid judicial takings and secure economically efficient outcomes.
"Property rights in Indiana are not so flimsy that they may be modified or eliminated if their exercise impedes what is thought to be a more productive or worthwhile use of land," Justice Geoffrey G. Slaughter wrote for the court.
The appellate court ultimately concluded that it would retain Indiana's common-law rule prohibiting the unilateral relocation of fixed easements and reject the restatement, affirming entry of judgment for DeSpirito and against Richland and the Commission in Town of Ellettsville, Indiana Plan Commission and Richland Convenience Store Partners, LLC, 53S01-1709-PL-612.

What did the writer of Genesis mean by 'the first day'? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture?
In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox in Seven Days That Divide the World: The Begining According to Genesis and Science proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture.
With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God's intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.

The author of the book subscribes to the idea that sin began in the Garden of Eden as recorded in Genesis. Death was the result of sin, however 'death' is limited to man's spiritual/ moral condition rather than the tradional interpretation of global impact. We recommend reading the book for the author's specific arguments on this point.

Q: How do i use an Expression> in a linq statement if my navigation property is a single item? I have an expression that maps the database object from another system to a standard object that I can use across any system.
Ex:
private static Expression<Func<excessive_location, MyLocation>> LocationMap =
    l => new MyLocation()
        {
            Id = l.unique_id,
            Code = l.location_code,
            Active = l.active

            ...Other properties
        }

This works exactly as I expect in the following situation
public IEnumerable<MyLocation> GetActiveLocations()
        {
            return otherSystem.location_table
                .Select(LocationMap)
                .Where(l => l.Active == true)
                .ToList();
        }

But I cant seem to figue out a way to make it work as part of another expression
private static Expression<Func<excessive_user, User>> UserMap =
    e => new User()
        {
            Id = e.unique_id,
            FirstName = e.fname,
            LastName = e.lname,
            Location = e.excessive_location
                .Select(LocationMap)  // will not work since
                                      // e.excessive_location is not a collection
        };

I know I can compile it to a function but then it will have to execute for every user out of thousands.  What is the proper way to make this work?

A: In order to achieve the goal, you'll need some expression helpers.
Let me first show you the resulting code:
private static Expression<Func<excessive_location, MyLocation>> LocationMap =
    l => new MyLocation()
    {
        Id = l.unique_id,
        Code = l.location_code,
        Active = l.active
    };

private static Expression<Func<excessive_user, User>> UserMap =
    Utils.Expr((excessive_user u) => new User
    {
        Id = u.unique_id,
        FirstName = u.fname,
        LastName = u.lname
    })
    .BindMemberInit(u => u.Location,
        Utils.Expr((excessive_user u) => u.excessive_location).Bind(LocationMap));

Now the helpers.
The first one called Expr is a simple method that allows you to define expression without local variable.
The second one called Bind allows you to bind expression to another expression accessor.
So having
(excessive_user u) => u.excessive_location
and
(excessive_location l) => new MyLocation { Id = l.unique_id, .... }
you can make
(excessive_user u) => new MyLocation { Id = u.excessive_location.inique_id, ...}
The third one called BindMemberInit allows you to add new member initialization to the existing new { ... } expression.
The last one called ReplaceParameter allows you to replace expression parameter with another expression.
Here is the full code:
public static class Utils
{
    public static Expression<Func<T, TResult>> Expr<T, TResult>(Expression<Func<T, TResult>> e) { return e; }

    public static Expression<Func<TOuter, TResult>> Bind<TOuter, TInner, TResult>(this Expression<Func<TOuter, TInner>> source, Expression<Func<TInner, TResult>> resultSelector)
    {
        var body = resultSelector.Body.ReplaceParameter(resultSelector.Parameters[0], source.Body);
        return Expression.Lambda<Func<TOuter, TResult>>(body, source.Parameters);
    }

    public static Expression<Func<TSource, TTarget>> BindMemberInit<TSource, TTarget, TMember, TValue>(this Expression<Func<TSource, TTarget>> expression, Expression<Func<TTarget, TMember>> member, Expression<Func<TSource, TValue>> value)
    {
        var binding = Expression.Bind(
            ((MemberExpression)member.Body).Member,
            value.Body.ReplaceParameter(value.Parameters[0], expression.Parameters[0]));
        var body = (MemberInitExpression)expression.Body;
        return expression.Update(body.Update(body.NewExpression, body.Bindings.Concat(new[] { binding })), expression.Parameters);
    }

    static Expression ReplaceParameter(this Expression expression, ParameterExpression source, Expression target)
    {
        return new ParameterReplacer { Source = source, Target = target }.Visit(expression);
    }

    class ParameterReplacer : ExpressionVisitor
    {
        public ParameterExpression Source;
        public Expression Target;
        protected override Expression VisitParameter(ParameterExpression node)
        {
            return node == Source ? Target : base.VisitParameter(node);
        }
    }
}

A: So what we need here is a two methods.  One to compose one expression with another, that is to take an expression that computes a value, another expression that takes that output and computes a new value, and creates a new expression that takes the input of the first and produces the output of the second, using both expressions.
We'll start by creating an expression to get the location from a user:
Expression<Func<excessive_user, excessive_location>> locationProjection =
    user => user.excessive_location;

Then we'll compose that with your expression to turn the location into a MyLocation:
Expression<Func<excessive_user, MyLocation>> mappedLocationProject =
    locationProjection.Compose(LoactionMap);

Next we'll need a very similar, but slightly different method that can combine two expressions together, being able to take an expression, and another that takes the same input, and the output of the original, and produces a new output.
This method would allow us to write the following:
mappedLocationProject.Combine((user, location) => new User()
        {
            Id = user.unique_id,
            FirstName = user.fname,
            LastName = user.lname,
            Location = location
        };

Here's the method to compose expressions:
public static Expression<Func<TFirstParam, TResult>>
    Compose<TFirstParam, TIntermediate, TResult>(
    this Expression<Func<TFirstParam, TIntermediate>> first,
    Expression<Func<TIntermediate, TResult>> second)
{
    var param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TFirstParam), "param");

    var newFirst = first.Body.Replace(first.Parameters[0], param);
    var newSecond = second.Body.Replace(second.Parameters[0], newFirst);

    return Expression.Lambda<Func<TFirstParam, TResult>>(newSecond, param);
}

And here's the implementation of Combine:
public static Expression<Func<TFirstParam, TResult>>
    Combine<TFirstParam, TIntermediate, TResult>(
    this Expression<Func<TFirstParam, TIntermediate>> first,
    Expression<Func<TFirstParam, TIntermediate, TResult>> second)
{
    var param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TFirstParam), "param");

    var newFirst = first.Body.Replace(first.Parameters[0], param);
    var newSecond = second.Body.Replace(second.Parameters[0], param)
        .Replace(second.Parameters[1], newFirst);

    return Expression.Lambda<Func<TFirstParam, TResult>>(newSecond, param);
}

They both use the following method to replace all instances of one expression with another:
internal class ReplaceVisitor : ExpressionVisitor
{
    private readonly Expression from, to;
    public ReplaceVisitor(Expression from, Expression to)
    {
        this.from = from;
        this.to = to;
    }
    public override Expression Visit(Expression node)
    {
        return node == from ? to : base.Visit(node);
    }
}
public static Expression Replace(this Expression expression,
    Expression searchEx, Expression replaceEx)
{
    return new ReplaceVisitor(searchEx, replaceEx).Visit(expression);
}

CLEVELAND, OHIO – September 9, 2015 – Marketplace Events, North America's largest home show producer, announced today it has purchased two consumer home shows held annually in Winnipeg, MB from the Manitoba Home Builders' Association (MHBA), a non-profit trade association with more than 300 members.
Marketplace Events acquired the Kitchen, Bath & Renovation Show held annually in January and the Home Expressions Home and Garden Show held every March, both at the RBC Convention Centre.
Jan Currier, who managed the events for the MHBA, will continue to manage the shows alongside the Marketplace Events team out of Vancouver, BC.
The Winnipeg purchase is the first acquisition of the year for the company that in 2014 added seven home shows to their portfolio, acquiring a show in Edmonton, AB and two in Raleigh, NC while also launching two shows in Ottawa, ON and one each in Edmonton, AB and New Orleans, LA.

A/N: This is absolute fluff, completely different in character than the saga that is Déjà Vu. Knowledge of the other story is not required. It seems that the food sequences in that story were quite popular, so what better subject for a one-shot? Enjoy!
Thanks to mark_clark, jenna_knight and betty brant for the beta - and to ancarett for a last minute go-over and the spiffy banner!
As Lois opened the door to the kitchen, her nose was assaulted with the mouth-watering smell of Italian spices. She closed the door behind her, dropping her purse on the countertop, and closed her eyes, breathing deeply. "Mm. That smells heavenly..."
She opened her eyes to see Clark standing before the stove in a button-down shirt and slacks, stirring gently at a reddish liquid in the saucepan. His hair swung gently across the frames of his glasses as he turned to smile at her. "Hope you are in the mood for pasta." A pot of freshly cooked tortellini steamed on a back burner.
"Weren't we going to go out tonight?" Slipping the jacket from her shoulders, she reached behind to slip it onto the coat rack. "You said something about reservations at Chez Henri..."
He shrugged guiltily, still stirring his sauce. "The food there tasted a bit off last time..."
Lois chuckled, "Only to super-senses..."
"And it's a long trip to Paris..."
"Never stopped us before..." Lois wrapped her arms around him from behind, lightly caressing his thigh.
Clark gently tapped the wooden spoon he had been using against the side of the pot, and placed it carefully on the counter, before turning the heat on the burner down to simmer. "Well," he said in a low voice, turning into her arms, "Can I help it if I want to spend as much time with you as possible on Valentine's Day? Even a few minutes spent on the trip would be time better spent..." He kissed her on the corner of her jaw.
She groaned pleasantly. He knew exactly how to arouse her, and he only got better at it with the years. "I should have known you were planning something like this when you cooked those eggs for breakfast in the cute little heart shape. I'm in the mood for anything you cook, you know that," she said fervently. "I didn't expect you to be home yet. What about that tornado in Missouri?"
He lifted his head to kiss her lightly on the forehead. "I was able to dissipate it before it caused any damage. So I got dinner started a little early."
Lois eyed the rich-smelling sauce with interest. "Can I have a little taste?" she asked, giving him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
The corners of her husband's mouth crinkled up ever so slightly, and he chuckled. "You can never wait, can you? It'll taste better on the pasta..."
She grabbed the stirring spoon he had just set aside and dipped the end of it into the sauce, just beginning to bubble. Bringing it slowly to her lips, her tongue nipped out to sample the ruddy liquid on the edge. She rolled the sauce around sensuously on her tongue - it had a tomato base with a blend of spices she couldn't identify... Of course, that wasn't unusual. There was a good reason that Clark had taken over the cooking duties.
"That's..." Lois searched for the proper word, "...fantastic."
Clark smiled shyly, pleased at her praise. His modesty had always been incredibly attractive.
And his cooking was even more incredible. Now she could taste just a slight aftertaste... "Is there a touch of alcohol in there?"
"Just a little sherry," he affirmed. "Brings out the garlic better."
Silently, Lois held out the spoon, which still had a few drops of sauce clinging to the surface.
"I think I'll wait to try it when it's finished."
"Your loss." She began to lick the remainder from the spoon - and caught him staring at her intently. Was that a lascivious spark in those sapphire eyes?
Suddenly feeling mischievous, Lois slowed her cleaning of the spoon, swirling her tongue around the round edge of the spoon, capturing his intense gaze with one of her own. When she was completely finished, she invited, "Are you sure you don't want some?"
Quicker than her mind could process, he had gathered her into his arms. The spoon fell to the kitchen floor from fingers stiff with surprise. They both looked down at the cooking utensil lying there on the tiles. "Oh, darn. I wasn't finished. I wanted another taste..."
"That's easy to solve..." Clark smiled and slowly dipped his finger into the now roiling mixture. He removed it, dripping with reddish sauce, and held it before her lips.
Keeping her eyes fixed on his, Lois placed her mouth over the gooey mixture and gently drew his finger into her mouth. His sly smile widened as she teased it with her tongue, sucking the last drop from the tip. "Delicious."
"If it's really that good... I guess I have no choice but to try it..." he murmured, pulling her closer to cover her mouth with his. As intoxicating as the taste of his cooking was, his kisses could send her into an almost drunken spiral of pleasure.
Expertly, he moved the two of them away from the hot stove, pressing her against the kitchen sink. She entwined her fingers in his thick black hair, her short fingernails dragging trails across his scalp, just the way he liked. His strong, warm hands crept beneath her silk blouse to caress the smooth skin of her back. Even after seven years of marriage, they often found themselves completely caught up in each other.
A thought intruded, tearing her from the sensations he was arousing up and down her spine. "Jason..." she gasped between kisses.
His warm breath tickled her ear as he caught the tender skin between his teeth. "...is going to a friend's house after soccer practice."
Lois groaned and leaned her head back, granting him easier access to her sensitive neck. His lips nibbled their way down the side of her neck, setting off sensations that were familiar yet just as arousing. She placed her hands on the front of his shirt, sliding her palms across the broad expanse of his muscular chest, to begin undoing the tiny buttons down the front.
She was surprised to see that all she was uncovering was his glowing bare skin, and not bright-blue spandex. Lois arched an eyebrow at him, and then growled low in her throat. Leaving the suit off was one of the ways Clark would slyly let her know that he was hers for the night. She practically threw herself into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist, and devouring him with her lips.
It was amazing to her the way they still couldn't keep their hands off of each other. Even their co-workers, after their relationship had come out into the open, had been shocked at her demonstrative behavior, so different from the stay-back attitude she used to have. Once, a few years ago, she had been passing by the break room, and one of the office girls had the temerity to question Lois and Clark's relationship. "What in the world do they see in each other? He's such a dork... and she's such a hellcat! I'm surprised she hasn't eaten him alive already..." There were a few shocked giggles at the fact that one of their co-workers had the guts to speak what they all had been thinking aloud.
"Hi, girls, " she said with a venomously sweet voice, sticking her head around the doorframe. "Nice day for a chat, isn't it?" She pierced the offending woman with Lois Lane's own version of laser vision. "And since you were wondering... you know what they say...Pussycat in the boardroom, tiger in the bedroom." She winked and smiled before turning on her heel.
At Clark's desk a minute later, he gave her a wicked grin. "You shouldn't let them get to you, Lois."
"I know, but sometimes... I just can't help it." She placed her left hand on his cheek, and tenderly stroked the wedding band down his jaw.
He closed his eyes briefly at her touch. "And I love it." His eyes sparkled with amusement as he added, "If it helps, you pretty much just shocked them to silence."
As the years passed, the office simply took it as a mystery of life - better left unexplained. Because there was no denying the sparks between them, the flame of love that flickered every time they gazed at each other... and more importantly - at least in Perry's opinion - the consistent front-page headlines the two brought in as the Daily Planet's star reporting team.
But they saved the really good stuff for when the two of them were all alone. Clark lifted her with one arm as if she weighed nothing - which she didn't to him, the lifter of jet aircraft. Never breaking contact with her lips, he swiveled to place her on the edge of the gleaming stainless-steel counter beside the stove. With the other hand he flipped the kitchen blinds closed.
He broke contact with her lips then, placing his hands on the tops of her fabric-covered thighs. Then he caressed downward to the bottom of her calf-length brown skirt and ran a finger over her silken stockings. With tender care, he removed one high-heeled shoe, and then the other, stroking across the heel and sole of her foot. Lois wiggled her toes, as the sensation tickled her skin.
"Oo!" she breathed softly. "That tickles!"
"Does it now?" he grinned, and began to increase the feathery touches to her feet.
"Clark... stop it!" She swiped a playful palm at the top of his head, but he dodged it easily.
Spritz! Clark was hit in the face with a full blast of water from the sink sprayer, and Lois laughed in triumph, as she gleefully sprayed him down the front of his shirt. Clark let go of her ankle at once, blinked in surprise, and carefully removed his water-spotted glasses. He gingerly grabbed a towel from the oven door, and wiped down his lenses, all the while reacting not at all to her juvenile chortling.
"Now was that really fair?" he asked in an even voice.
She stared back at him, challenge in her tone, "A girl's got to take any advantage she can get over a guy like you, Mr. Kent."
He wiped a hand over his face, and cleared his sopping bangs from his eyes. "Does she now?" Clark stepped closer and lowered his voice huskily. "I think you just wanted to see me sopping wet, Mrs. Kent."
Lois pressed her lips together, grinning guiltily, not hiding a leisurely scan of his wet and clinging clothing. "You know me too well."
Quicker than her eyes could process, the sprayer was out of her hands and in his. Water dripped down from his sopping hair into his eyes as he regarded her like a Western gunslinger, serious and somber. "Well, two can play at that game, missy."
She shrieked, and tried to dodge the shower of water that suddenly drenched her, even though she knew it was absolutely no use. Lois whacked the faucet handle down to shut off the water, tackled him around the shoulders, and they landed in a wet mess on the floor. The sprayer dangled like a pendulum, thumping against the cabinet doors, but Lois barely noticed.
Lying there on top of him on the floor, the temperature of their bodies noticeably rose, though they were both soaked to the skin. Clothing made heavy with water was more difficult to remove, so they didn't bother. Lois' hands fumbled with the wet leather of Clark's belt, as Clark tore a hole in her nylon stockings.
Wait a second... is that... smoke I smell? She froze in her movement, and turned her head toward the stove, just as Clark's eyes went wide. Little flames danced around the edges of the saucepan, and suddenly the smoke alarm went off with a deafening SCREEE!
Clark moved her off of him quickly but gently, and with a rush of freezing air, the stovetop was rapidly covered with a glaze of ice. A shot of heat-vision took out the smoke alarm above in a shower of sparks, mercifully cutting off the piercing sound.
"Oh, God, I'm sorry, Lois..." he began apologize, but she silenced him with a finger, and then a smoking kiss. Despite the shock of the kitchen fire, it didn't take them long to finish what they had started.
She collapsed against him, spent for now, and curled into him. "Well, did you already cancel those res-"
Suddenly, Clark stiffened beneath her. "Oh, no..." He sat up quickly lifting her to her feet, and she felt her clothing steam to dryness as he quickly ran his heat vision over her clothing. But not quickly enough.
At the sound of keys in the lock, Lois realized why Clark had reacted with such alarm. Jason's home! He was supposed to go to his friend's house...!
The door opened before either of them could get their bearings, super-speed or no. "Mom! Dad! What's for dinner?" He walked a few steps into the room and stopped when he saw the two of them standing there with expressions akin to a deer being caught in the headlights blinking back at him.
Jason looked back and forth between his parents, his adolescent face unreadable. He then sniffed the air, noticed the glaze of ice on the saucepan and their disheveled appearances - Clark still soaking wet, Lois' clothing a mess - and rolled his eyes expressively. Shaking his head, he turned to walk toward his bedroom, slinging his backpack over his shoulder. He didn't even turn back as he called out to them, "Can we get pizza this time?"

Lizzo calls out body shaming on social media: 'I'm gonna do whatever I want with this body'

Lizzo is continuing her public plea for people to stop commenting on celebrities's bodies.
The topic isn't new to the "About Damn Time" singer, who has spoken at length about the criticism that she's faced on social media and elsewhere when it comes to her body. But at the start of the new year, she felt people needed a reminder as she stated, "The discourse around bodies is officially tired," in a video she posted to Instagram on Friday.
"I have seen comments go from, 'Oh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick, why'd you lose weight?' to, 'Oh my gosh, why'd you get a BBL? I liked your body before,' to, 'Oh my gosh, you're so big. You need to lose weight, but for your health,' to, 'Oh my gosh, you're so little, you need to get ass or titties or something,' to, 'Oh my gosh, why did she get all that work done? It's just too much work,'" the 34-year-old singer listed, noting the various and often contradicting standards that onlookers are putting onto public figures. "Are we OK? Do you see the delusion?"
It isn't the first time that Lizzo has expressed her desire that people stop defining her by her body. "It's exhausting," she told Essence magazine in Nov. 2021. "And that's the point. I don't want to talk about this anymore. We should be neutral about bodies."
As the conversation in her comments section — along with those of countless other celebrities — continues, she doubled down on her previous sentiment.
"Do we realize that artists are not here to fit into your beauty standards? Artists are here to make art. And this body is art. And I'm gonna do whatever I want with this body," Lizzo said.
She also suggested that haters should have to pay to leave a comment "so we could see how much time we are f***ing wasting on the wrong thing."

Texas Researcher Finds Huge American Eel Washed Up on Beach
A researcher on Mustang Island, Texas, showed off a huge American eel he found washed ashore in video from Tuesday, January 17.Jace Tunnell, a reserve director at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute, shared a video on YouTube of him enthusiastically presenting a female American eel, which he said was around four foot long."This is basically as big as they get," Tunnell said. "This is likely a female, they're larger than the males."Tunnell added that large females can have up to four million eggs.The American eel is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.Tunnell explained that this was in part due to the negative impact of dam building on the eel's life cycle over the past century. "Whenever all the dams and stuff started coming in, the life cycle of these fish, of going up the rivers, coming down the rivers, and going way out in to the ocean to be able to have their eggs […] with those dams on the rivers, really, they weren't able to do the things they would normally do."The Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve, which Tunnell manages, conducts research and education into preserving healthy Texas coastlines.

Q: Multiple regression with model $Y = (1 + c_1X_1)(1 + c_2X_2)\ldots(1 + c_nX_n)$ I'm currently working with data contained in $Y, X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ and wish to fit it to the model:
$Y = (1 + c_1X_1)(1 + c_2X_2)\ldots(1 + c_nX_n)$
where the $c_i$ are coefficients to be determined through regression. How can I do this? I've tried playing with logarithms (i.e. looking at $Y$ vs. $\log (1 + c_iX_i)$), but due to the pesky $1$, I can't figure out how to follow through.
Thanks in advance!

A: If you multiple out you will find it has a standard linear regression form except that it includes many high order interaction terms with related coefficients.  To see this note that
Y=(1+c$_1$X$_1$)(1+c$_2$X$_2$)(1+c$_3$X$_3$)=
1+c$_1$X$_1$+c$_2$X$_2$+c$_3$X$_3$ +c$_1$c$_2$X$_1$X$_2$+c$_1$c$_3$X$_1$X$_3$+c$_2$c$_3$X$_2$X$_3$+c$_1$c$_2$c$_3$X$_1$X$_2$X$_3$.


Clinical research is an invaluable part of making life better for people across the globe. While incredible strides have been made in what researchers are able to discover, there's still room for improvement. Lilly Trials pushes the boundaries of clinical research, making it more connected, engaging, and accessible than ever before. We believe that in order to advance and accelerate the development of new medicines, we have to have open and honest conversations with patients, caregivers, researchers, innovators. The more we share ideas and knowledge, the bigger the difference we can make. Join us in transforming clinical research, together.

She is passionate about building connections between all of the stakeholders in health care. Erin works to identify unmet needs, design and test innovations to improve care and outcomes, bridge the patient and clinician communities, and ensure the perspective of families and patients are represented in all health care improvement efforts. She devotes her personal blog and social media work to collaborating, sharing knowledge, and encouraging others to join her on her quest.
Erin is the first ePatient Advisor for Lilly Trials.
The following blog post is by Tom Krohn.

He has 25 years of experience across different sectors in health including large pharma, hospital & retail pharmacy, and the developing world. Most recently, Tom led the Clinical Open Innovation team at Eli Lilly with a focus on patient engagement, open data and business transformation. Tom is passionate about serving patients from their point-of-view while building sustainable and highly effective organizations.
Everyone has a story. You. Me. Innovation.
About four years ago, a small group of Lilly employees started work on open innovation with a focus on improving public information to accelerate medical innovation. Barry Crist and I wrote a whitepaper that outlined a vision for clinical knowledge generation becoming participatory for all in the clinical research ecosystem, especially patients. Participatory—that is the essence of an open network. It is at the core of open innovation.
With executive sponsorship and a case for action, we took these ideas and developed an open API which launched in 2012. We put Creative Commons copyleft licensing on the API to remove the friction that is the norm of the life-science industry. Then, open innovation happened.
People started using the API. Patient organizations. Data service providers. Even our competitors. We ran an in-house hackathon that generated some cool apps, a codeathon with central Indiana talent and a Clinical Trial Redesign challenge. We learned and evolved with the emerging marketplace. But the data was insufficient. While the API made things easier, an API is only as good as its content.
We shifted our focus and did the hard thing—listening—to patients and those serving patients. We challenged all of Lilly to listen and engage patients differently: in trial design processes, in trial execution and through post-study results sharing and continuity of care. Our Patients at the Center of Clinical Trials Workshop was a powerful onsite gathering of open sharing and creative solutions with patients and disease advocacy leaders the first of its kind for Lilly, and perhaps all of pharma). One of the areas in which patients spoke very loudly, was helping patients find, understand and match to clinical trials. Clinicaltrials.gov receives 112 million page views per month. A good portion of those views come from patients and their caregivers, yet it is far from meeting patients' needs.
This was a challenge we had to take on.
We in the pharma industry are our worst enemies, because we make it difficult for patients to connect to our studies. Information is hard to find, is written from a scientific-only point-of-view, and is often only available at the investigator site where distance and logistics can be a big barrier to patients. We also focus on our single study while from a patient point-of-view, the perspective is "which clinical trial might help me?" regardless of the sponsor. With this background and understanding, we moved this initiative beyond Lilly to a small consortium of the willing. This was the birth of the Patients 2 Trials Consortium.
Using our API as a base platform for augmented content, we took on the task of structuring eligibility criteria in a consistent and machine readable manner. Pfizer and Novartis, through their innovation teams, recognized the potential and joined us. Soon we were structuring trials from each of the consortium's partners. At the same time, the U.S. government had put the Blue Button initiative into play with Meaningful Use stages and incentives, and we now had a patient record format against which to test our approach. We successfully tested it and shared the outcome at the 2014 Partnerships in Clinical Trials conference. The Patients 2 Trials consortium then moved on to market pilots and finding a long-term home for the API and the trial matching approach. The primary goal of finding a long-term home was to maximize impact for patients, drive to sustainable scale, and ultimately to help transform the industry.
Lilly chose TrialReach to be the long-term home for its API platform and trial matching work, and completed the agreement late last year. TrialReach's strong patient focus, large network of partners and freemium business model made it a great home for the initiative. Lilly and TrialReach completed the technical transfer of the API in the first quarter of this year. And, at the 2015 Partnerships in Clinical Trials, representatives from Lilly, Pfizer and Novartis announced the transfer of leadership to TrialReach.
So what is next? First of all, three of the Lilly COI team members (Tyler Trueg, Dean Sellis and myself) have chosen to join TrialReach to see this innovation through to full success. It was a tough decision for each of us. We truly enjoyed the innovation work at Lilly and the collegial environment that allowed us to make a difference. We are excited to bring our knowledge and experience in clinical trials and the API platform and combine them with the patient-engagement insights of the TrialReach team to help this become an industry game changer.
TrialReach is committed to structuring ALL recruiting clinical trials and making this information ubiquitous on the internet. We've started with diabetes studies and plan in place to roll out more by therapeutic areas. Our goal is to complete all therapeutic areas in one year. It is a big goal, but also one that patients are waiting for.
We are also committed to partnering with sponsors in bringing easier-to-understand study information to the internet. As I've shared before, we need to separate informed from consent. Patients need to be informed to consent, but don't need to consent (at site) to be informed. Instead, patients need and deserve clear information so they can compare studies, determine which ones they may be eligible for, and deeply understand the implications of participation in a study—all before they have to make the journey to the nearest investigator site for the full screening and participation.
The time for this change is now. The industry needs to look at its trial accrual challenge through new lenses. Patients have wanted this improvement for a long time. And, it is personal to us and to me. About two years ago, I lost my brother-in-law to esophageal cancer. Unfortunately, by the time a clinical trial was considered, it was too late. As my sister-in-law said, "I believe most patients who want to fight their cancer will be very interested in clinical trials if they could find them and understand them and didn't have to depend solely on our doctor." This is exactly what we are trying to do.
And so the story continues, both my story and this innovation story. I'm not sure how the story ends— we never quite know. But we've made it this far through perseverance and commitment. I know we'll be faithful to patients and the vision to serve them well. And in the process, write another chapter in the innovation book and changing the life science industry.

Q: Term for Performing Action Early to Account for Delay of Transmission? In sports, such as football, a player will throw the ball to a spot early, so the ball arrives as the receiver arrives.
This concept is relevant outside of sports. For example, I could send a letter to one city while you're still in another city, but you'll receive it just as you arrive. I can add more technical examples if necessary.
Is there a term for this action? I've used "quarter-backing" in the past, but I've found myself in a situation where I need to describe this concept in a professional environment.
Example Sentence
I don't know if this is a single-word-request or phrase-request, but here's an example sentence:

I sent the email on Friday, so I could ____ it as you arrived on Monday.

It may or may not fit with this sentence syntax.

I quarter-backed the email on Friday, so you would receive it as you arrived on Monday.

Obviously this term sounds silly.

A: Proactively might be the word you are looking for. It means

serving to prepare for, intervene in, or control an expected occurrence or situation

Example:
I proactively sent the email on Friday, so you would receive it as you arrived on Monday.
Anticipatory can also be used.

A: The concept is anticipation, in your context you'd either say anticipating or possibly to anticipate their arrival.

A: Leading a target is the term used in shooting or sports, but would not apply to your mail example.
"Sending a message beforehand to your anticipated destination" seems to work.

A: Consider expedite.

I sent the email on Friday, so I could expedite it's arrival to
  match your arrival on Monday.

businessdictionary.com:

expedite
To quicken the process; make faster.   "He asked the mail service for
  an expedited delivery service, as the package needed to arrive
  tomorrow."

A: A verb which works well for both the sports and messaging examples is time.

I sent the email on Friday, so I could time it for your arrival
  on Monday.

ODO:

time VERB
1 [with object and adverbial or infinitive] Plan, schedule, or arrange when (something) should happen or be done.
'It's just a matter of timing your visit to coincide with when the
  lily is in flower.'
1.1 Perform (an action) at a particular moment.
'Russell's perfectly timed lob into the path of John Joe Maguire saw
  the Town striker break the offside trap and pull clear of the
  defence.'


The project consisted of analysing the data that Andy downloaded from his Strava Account. Over 1400 sports activities during a 7 years time-span.
The most challenging part of this project consisted of crafting a useful dataset for the actual analysis in Tableau. The activities log were stored in .gpx files, a format not natively available as input in Alteryx. To read and export these files data in Tableau, we had to treat them as .xml files, in order to extract all the data from them. Due to this, we all ended up to create quite intricates workflows.
Since Andy requested us to use specific metrics (distance, speed, pace) I have built a workflow that would deliver all of them.
What I did not consider well enough was the timing. It took me roughly 3 hours to complete the workflow, leaving only one hour for the actual dashboard creation. On top of that, I have to admit that I've not fully planned my work before the start. I was so worried about extrapolating data from these files that I forgot to adapt my workflow to my final dashboard aim.
If I would have started with a clear picture of what to visualise in Tableau, I probably could have skipped several steps in Alteryx, saving a conspicuous amount of time.
So, this is the lesson learned this week. Not only the dashboard needs to be sketched, but the data prep process also needs to be planned thoroughly. Data prep, especially on large files can be really time-consuming, hence cutting down these times becomes crucial while working on a restricted time schedule.
On the right side, I'm happy that I managed to produce an effective Alteryx workflow, with minimal help. I have spent quite a lot of time lately practising Alteryx, so I'm glad to see the outcomes of this.
