Change of Heart (Mass Market)
By Jude Deveraux
Pocket Books, 9781476779720, 400pp.
Digital Audiobook (10/20/2014)
Two childhood playmates grow into more than just friends in #1 New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux's full-length romantic novel based on her short story of the same name.
In the hugely popular, New York Times bestseller A Holiday of Love, Jude Deveraux wrote a novella about two kids playing matchmakers—Eli and Chelsea, best friends who were determined to find true love for Eli's bighearted mother. But what happens when these ambitious children grow up? What exactly made Eli's mother, Miranda, fall in love with Frank all those years ago? And how does that affect their future together?
Eli and Chelsea lost touch with each other over the years, until Eli bought a house in his father's hometown of Edilean, Virginia, and invited Chelsea for a visit. She had her own life, and was certain that a childhood friendship couldn't be anything more, but she went nonetheless—and found herself quite unprepared for the changes she saw in Eli. And neither of them were prepared to run into a mystery, with a family that needed to be rescued. Now, just like when they were children, they must join together to straighten out a very big problem. The question is what happens after the mystery is solved; they are very different people—so can they stay together?
Combining love and passion with sweet, unexpected twists, and shedding new light on Miranda and Frank's relationship, Change of Heart is an unforgettable addition to Deveraux's classic bestselling novels.
Jude Deveraux is the author of more than forty New York Times bestsellers, including Moonlight in the Morning, The Scent of Jasmine, Scarlet Nights, Days of Gold, Lavender Morning, Return to Summerhouse, and Secrets. To date, there are more than sixty million copies of her books in print worldwide. To learn more, visit JudeDeveraux.com.

New flagship dealership for Aston Martin Lagonda in Abu Dhabi
meazied	 15 November 2018	 Leave a Comment
Forecasts for significant growth in the Middle East exclusive car niche are welcomed by Aston Martin Lagonda, with a new dealership in Abu Dhabi.
Luxury British carmaker, Aston Martin Lagonda celebrated the opening of a new flagship dealership in Abu Dhabi last night in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan.
At an exclusive evening reception, guests mingled with senior personnel from Aston Martin, including Dan Balmer, President, Aston Martin Lagonda Middle East, North Africa & Turkey and David King, Vice President and Chief Special Operations Officer.
Aston Martin Abu Dhabi is situated in a prime location in the prestigious Etihad Towers, overlooking the beautiful Emirates Palace.
The dealership boasts a state-of the-art 521m2 showroom with eight Aston Martins on display, including the three newest model offerings: DB11, Vantage and DBS Superleggera, alongside an Aston Martin Red Bull Racing showcar.
Customers will also have the opportunity to activate 'Q by Aston Martin' at the new dealership, creating their own unique sports car in the 'Q Lounge'.
Speaking on the opening night, Dan Balmer said: "The opening of a flagship dealership in Abu Dhabi is a real statement of intent for Aston Martin in the Middle East. This is a growing market, with 14 dealerships, and now our customers in Abu Dhabi and the surrounding area can enjoy the experience of purchasing their next Aston Martin in a prestigious location."
The opening of Aston Martin Abu Dhabi takes place just over a week ahead of the Formula One 2018 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix TM, which will see the Aston Martin wings flying proudly on the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing cars in the closing race of the season.
Following this, in December three of the marque's customer racing teams will compete in the Gulf 12 Hours also at Yas Marina Circuit. It will be the first time the brand new Aston Martin Vantage GT3 car has been seen in the Middle East.

There is a tradition for New Year's in Spain, to eat 12 grapes at midnight, one for each chime and it is to bring you 12 months of luck for the following year.
I think it sounds like a nice tradition and am looking forward to having a go at it. I have arrived my New Years destination, and it's pretty amazing. I have gone from snow and cold in Norway to the warm sun of Las Palmas!
I want to wish all of you a fantastic new year! 2012 is going to be a good one!
Happy happy new year to you too, Vanisha! The grapes was a lot of fun!
What a neat tradition, I like that a lot! Happy New Year!
Håper du hadde fine dager i Norge og morsom nyttårsfeiring i Spania.
Miss you senorita <3. Klem.

Q: Method reference - invalid method reference - cannot be reference from static context I have following piece of code
StringJoiner joiner = new StringJoiner(", ");
joiner.add("Something");
Function<StringJoiner,Integer> lengthFunc =  StringJoiner::length;
Function<CharSequence,StringJoiner> addFunc = StringJoiner::add;

Last line cause an error
Error:(54, 53) java: invalid method reference
  non-static method add(java.lang.CharSequence) cannot be referenced from a static context

I understand that this method can't be used in static way and I should have something like :
Function<CharSequence,StringJoiner> addFunc = joiner::add;

instead. However I can't understand why third line, with StringJoiner::length; is for java compiler perfectly correct. Can someboedy explain me why is that ?

A: Function<StringJoiner,Integer> lengthFunc =  StringJoiner::length;

lengthFunc is a Function that takes a StringJoiner and returns an Integer. Therefore any instance method of StringJoiner that takes nothing and returns an Integer matches this interface. The instance of which the method is called will be the StringJoiner required by the Function<StringJoiner,Integer>.
On the other hand in
Function<CharSequence,StringJoiner> addFunc = StringJoiner::add

addFunc is a Function that takes a CharSequence and returns StringJoiner. No instance method of StringJoiner matches this interface, since the function doesn't have an input StringJoiner instance to apply the add method on.
You would need a BiFunction to match the signature of StringJoiner::add :
BiFunction<StringJoiner,CharSequence,StringJoiner> addFunc = StringJoiner::add;

A: Because StringJoiner.length takes zero arguments, so the method reference overall takes a StringJoiner (the arbitrary instance) and returns an Integer. In other words, the first assigned method ref is equivalent to:
Function<StringJoiner, Integer> lengthFunc = new Function<StringJoiner, Integer>() {

       @Override
        public Integer apply(StringJoiner stringJoiner) {
            return stringJoiner.length;
        }
}

You would call this Function as follows:
StringJoiner sj1 = ...  // an arbitrary StringJoiner
int sjLength1 = lengthFunc.apply(sj1);

In contract, StringJoiner.add(CharSequence) takes one argument, so overall the Function would have to take (1) the arbirary instance of StringJoiner, (2) the CharSequence and return a StringJoiner.
You can instead assign the reference to a BiFunction which does that:
BiFunction<StringJoiner, CharSequence, StringJoiner> addFunc = StringJoiner::add;

which is equivalent to:
BiFunction<StringJoiner, CharSequence, StringJoiner> addFunc = new BiFunction<StringJoiner, CharSequence, StringJoiner>() {

       @Override
        public StringJoiner apply(StringJoiner stringJoiner, CharSequence charSequence) {
            return stringJoiner.add(charSequence);
        }
}

and would be used as follows:
StringJoiner sj1 = ...  // an arbitrary StringJoiner
sj1 = addFunc.apply(sj1, "a"); // no need to re-assign, but just to show the return type

Great news. Sarah has been back in clinic this week offering am and middle of the day appointments. Ideal for those of you who work in the middle of town. Or simply prefer daytime to weekend or evening appointments!
This week has unfortunately seen more potentially serious knee injuries in clinic, boo.
Sporting injuries all too commonly result in meniscus and ligament damage. People probably associate these injuries with great big collisions, or tackles between opponents.
In truth a great number of serious injuries that actually end up requiring surgery are not related to huge collisions. But occur because of the forces transmitted though the knee in awkward landings from jumping.
Landing from a jump with a bent and twisting force transmitted through the knee is more than enough stress to damage and completely rupture the fibro cartilage shock absorbing meniscus and/or the ligaments of the knee.
Ligament damage can occur at those that run longitudinally across the outside of the knee joint. Or often more concerning is damage to the ligaments inside the joint itself which cross from to back to front (Cruciate-Latin for cross!).
So what are we finding in clinic? Some clients are coming in complaining of pain at the outside of the knee after increasing mileage. In one case after changing running shoes, others because on paper they are over training and under resting.
Most people have probably heard of sportspeople or even have friends that have ruptured the Cruciate and gone on to have either conservative treatment-Physiotherapist led rehabilitation or reconstructive surgery.
Unfortunately if you end up damaging either the meniscus or ligaments of the knee you can consider the knee to be 'unstable'. This is why serious sports people will often end up having surgery to reconstruct and stabilize the knee.
These injuries are not only related to sport-we see them when people slip on wet grass or mud. The mechanism or action causing injury is exactly the same.
It's proven and a fact that most people do not want to undergo the surgeon's knife. Luckily for these folk, if the severity of damage is not too great, a conservative approach to rehabilitation is often enough to restore a return straight back to regular day to day activity or even top-level sport.
Partial tears to ligaments are often best left untouched by the surgeon, as the time required to return to full activity is greatly reduced. This has been nicely proven by a local professional footballer returning to full action after undertaking a great and purposeful rehabilitation programme!
If things really are that bad we have links with great local surgeons who specialize in the knee. In fact we can be found on the list of approved therapists for Mr Harminder Gosal The Gosal Knee Clinic.
Another surgeon forging a great reputation for his work in knee surgery is Mr Robert Gleeson Gloucestershire Knee Clinic.
If you have suffered a severe knee injury, don't be down beat-a decent rehabilitation action plan is all you need to get straight back to those activities you love. Get in contact and find out how we can help you in your recovery.
Book in now for your Physio assessment and let us get you going again. Straight back to sport, work or just a regular pain free life style Book an appointment.

Parliament Hill Park, But Why?
Description: Between Highgate and Hampstead lies the green space Parliament Hill park, but how has this lovely spot come to be known by the famous London landmark 'Parliament'? Especially seeing as it's quite a few miles from the Houses of Parliament.
Well according to legend it was the spot where the 'Gunpowder Plotters' Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby where planning to watch the destruction of the historic site on 5 November 1605.
But of course this vantage location was never to be.
The plot to blow up the kind & parliament was rumbled here.

Ports of Velia FLAG
FLAG I Porti Di Velia
IT-CAM-IT218
The FLAG area covers the southern part of the Cilento Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park, and is almost half the size of the former Cilento Coast FLAG (some municipalities are now included in two nearby LEADER LAGs). The natural heritage of this area has always been well preserved due to very strict management (the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site), but at the same time this has been slowing down socio-economic development. The area is characterised by small-scale fisheries with about 50 small boats and 6 landing areas (only two vessels over 12m, no big ports). Challenges here are linked to fishermen's low competitiveness and poor linkages with the tourism sector.
Within the area we find the "Costa infreschi e Masseta" Marine Protected Area, four Sites of Community Importance (Cala del Cefalo, Punta Telegrafo, Costa Infreschi, Bussento) and the "Cilento Vallo di Diano e Alburni" national park
Aquaculture:
Women employment in fisheries:
The FLAG strategy is geared to strengthening the competitiveness of the fishermen and supporting sustainable economic development while preserving natural, cultural and traditional resources. Therefore, close cooperation with the "Costa infreschi e Masseta" MPA is a cornerstone of the strategy. Fishermen's profitability will be enhanced by diversification of activities and adding value to local fish products. In line with the principle of "less fish, better fish", actions will be taken to improve product quality. Other FLAG actions include improving infrastructure at landing sites, improving logistics related to fishermen's work and enhancing the fishermen's skills regarding environmental sustainability and diversification.
National and regional
The project "Marine caves and warehouses: repairs and dispensing" pursues the integrated valorisation of the hypogenous heritage of the coast. This was formerly used as shelter for animals (sheep, goats), to preserve food products from sea and land, and was also used to carry out craft activities. These caves have strong tourism potential
Involvement of fishermen in developing diving tourism, including controlling access to underwater hypogenous heritage
The FLAG is interested in cooperation projects dealing with adding value to local fisheries products.
Furthermore, the FLAG is developing the cooperation idea "Mari d'Europa". This action aims to exchange practices and know-how among local producers and other European companies about the processing of fish products, in particular anchovies.
The FLAG cooperates with the other FLAGs in the region, in particular the Landing of Ulysses FLAG and the Cilento Blue Sea FLAG. The FLAG also shares territory with the Casacastra LEADER LAG and they cooperate on several issues.
FLAG members include representatives of local government, the "GAL Casacastra" LEADER LAG, fisheries cooperatives and associations, volunteer associations, fishermen and representative of the MPA.

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association has filed a petition for review to challenge California's greenhouse gas emission rule for diesel trucks.
The Cullen Law Firm, OOIDA's litigation counsel, filed the petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Oct. 3, announcing the Association's challenge of the EPA's waiver – a decision announced in early August. OOIDA is expected to file its arguments in the coming weeks and months.
A petition for review is a challenge of the legal process by which a body has reached a decision. Appellate courts review previously submitted evidence. The reviews rarely include a trial.
"The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. hereby petitions this Court for review of the final action of the respondent United States Environmental Protection Agency published in the Federal Register," OOIDA's petition for review filing states.
The legal battle began in June 2013, when CARB requested a waiver to the Clean Air Act – clearing the path for CARB to enforce its greenhouse gas regulation, also known as the CARB SmartWay Rule. The rule is designed to reduce emissions and increase fuel mileage. It requires diesel trucks and trailers operating in California to be outfitted with aerodynamic equipment and low-rolling-resistance tires.
In October 2013, OOIDA President Jim Johnston wrote a 17-page response to the EPA request for public comment on its decision to grant CARB a waiver for the greenhouse gas rule.
The regulation of fuel mileage, OOIDA said, resides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In addition to the constitutionality of the regulation, OOIDA argued that SmartWay-certified low-rolling-resistance tires have a shorter life span and are less safe than other tires. OOIDA also noted the 150 to 350 pounds of weight added by trailer side skirts.
EPA answered that it can't deny a waiver while considering implications like authority to set fuel mileage standards, and couldn't rule against the waiver because of legal deference to the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution or the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act.
Comments filed by OOIDA and the California Construction Trucking Association opposed the rule. Comments also were filed by the American Trucking Association, the California Trucking Association, and CARB.
Despite the rule's direct implication for trucks operating in California, the EPA waiver may affect trucks and truck owners in many other states.
The waiver ruling explicitly states other states may follow California's lead and adopt the greenhouse gas regulation.
Because CARB pre-dates the EPA and the federal Clean Air Act, California is granted certain regulatory rights not given to other states, though it still must obtain waivers from EPA for certain actions.


Komah is a story teller of music, flowing through all things BASS and VIBEN!
Starting his love for music at a young age by playing a variety of instruments, he finally settled on the trombone, which he excelled at during his junior and high school life.
Obviously all ready having a deep love and understanding for the bass, it was no surprise to see how fast he fell in love with electronic bass music. After experiencing his first encounter with the Dub Brothers (Sir Real, First Offence) it was an instant obsession to make and perform electronic vibes from his soul.
While experiencing a Komah set you may find the need to give yourself to the pull and the push of the crowd as you become completely lost in the music.
From all of the head banging and body swaying, close your eyes and put your bass face on because you are going to be in a Komah! Lost to the world around you!

Fields of Specialization
Nanochemistry
Areas of Chemistry
Biological/Biochemistry
Opportunities in nanochemistry exist in the areas of theoretical and basic research, applied research, and commercial product development. An inclination for problem-solving and work with early-stage processes and products is an advantage.
Typical Job Functions
Nanochemists use a variety of methods to prepare and assemble "little pieces of matter" with novel electronic, magnetic, optical, chemical, and mechanical behaviors that can be attributed to their tiny size. Nanoscience impacts many technology and industry sectors, from information technology, to pharmaceuticals, to transportation, to environmental science, and more.
Examples of advances made through nanochemistry include:
Sunscreen lotions that absorb ultraviolet light without giving you a white nose
Clear coatings for cars that protect paint colors
Material that protects airplanes from lightning strikes
Nanochemists may also study the health and safety effects of airborne and water-borne nano-sized particulates or use nanoparticles to clean up or neutralize pollutants.
Typical work duties of a nanochemist include:
Synthesizing and characterizing new nanomaterials
Developing new applications for existing nanomaterials
Developing the theoretical foundations for the properties of nanomaterials
Developing and supporting commercial products using nanomaterials
Studying the health, safety, and environmental effects of nanomaterials
Teaching courses and training students
Communicating research results to funding agencies and the general public
Nanochemists often work in academic, industrial, or government laboratories. They may present their work at conferences and symposia and publish it in scientific journals or general-audience publications.
Theoretical nanochemists - Do most of their work in computation and work in an office.
Environmental nanochemists - Often work outdoors collecting samples and data. They work indoors to analyze data and write up their results.
Industrial nanochemists - Work in factory settings, or travel to customer sites to advise, troubleshoot, or train customers.
Academic nanochemists - Teach classes and confer with students during office hours.
Nanochemistry careers offer a wide variety of entry points: basic or applied research, product development, customer and user support, or environmental impact monitoring.
Nanochemistry researchers generally gain increasing independence and larger budgets for their work as they gain more work experience. They may supervise research teams consisting of undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, or technical staff members. Some experienced nanochemists move into program management or administration, where they spend much of their time preparing budgets and schedules and obtaining funding, in addition to overseeing researchers and research programs.
Nanochemists require a solid background in chemistry or a related scientific field. Students and recent graduates may pursue internships in industrial, academic, or government laboratories to see if the field is a good fit for them.
Research assistants and technicians typically require bachelor's or master's degrees.
Some program managerial and administrative jobs may require master's degrees.
Instrument specialists and customer service specialists typically require master's degrees.
Academic positions typically require a Ph.D.
Research director positions typically require a science Ph.D.

Q: Python script as linux service/daemon Hallo,
I'm trying to let a python script run as service (daemon) on (ubuntu) linux.
On the web there exist several solutions like:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/

A well-behaved Unix daemon process is tricky to get right, but the required steps are much the same for every daemon program. A DaemonContext instance holds the behaviour and configured process environment for the program; use the instance as a context manager to enter a daemon state.

http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/02/a_simple_unix_linux_daemon_in_python/
However as I want to integrate my python script specifically with ubuntu linux my solution is a combination with an init.d script
#!/bin/bash

WORK_DIR="/var/lib/foo"
DAEMON="/usr/bin/python"
ARGS="/opt/foo/linux_service.py"
PIDFILE="/var/run/foo.pid"
USER="foo"

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo "Starting server"
    mkdir -p "$WORK_DIR"
    /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE \
        --user $USER --group $USER \
        -b --make-pidfile \
        --chuid $USER \
        --exec $DAEMON $ARGS
    ;;
  stop)
    echo "Stopping server"
    /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE --verbose
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$USER {start|stop}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0

and in python:
import signal
import time
import multiprocessing

stop_event = multiprocessing.Event()

def stop(signum, frame):
    stop_event.set()

signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, stop)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    while not stop_event.is_set():
        time.sleep(3)

My question now is if this approach is correct. Do I have to handle any additional signals? Will it be a "well-behaved Unix daemon process"?

A: Assuming your daemon has some way of continually running (some event loop, twisted, whatever), you can try to use upstart.
Here's an example upstart config for a hypothetical Python service:
description "My service"
author  "Some Dude <blah@foo.com>"

start on runlevel [234]
stop on runlevel [0156]

chdir /some/dir
exec /some/dir/script.py
respawn

If you save this as script.conf to /etc/init you simple do a one-time
$ sudo initctl reload-configuration
$ sudo start script

You can stop it with stop script. What the above upstart conf says is to start this service on reboots and also restart it if it dies.
As for signal handling - your process should naturally respond to SIGTERM. By default this should be handled unless you've specifically installed your own signal handler.

A: Rloton's answer is good. Here is a light refinement, just because I spent a ton of time debugging. And I need to do a new answer so I can format properly.
A couple other points that took me forever to debug:

*

*When it fails, first check /var/log/upstart/.log

*If your script implements a daemon with python-daemon, you do NOT use the 'expect daemon' stanza. Having no 'expect' works. I don't know why. (If anyone knows why - please post!)

*Also, keep checking "initctl status script" to make sure you are up (start/running). (and do a reload when you update your conf file)

Here is my version:
description "My service"
author  "Some Dude <blah@foo.com>"

env PYTHON_HOME=/<pathtovirtualenv>
env PATH=$PYTHON_HOME:$PATH

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]

chdir <directory>

# NO expect stanza if your script uses python-daemon
exec $PYTHON_HOME/bin/python script.py

# Only turn on respawn after you've debugged getting it to start and stop properly
respawn


Week after week we feel that we are coming closer and closer to the glorious Resurrection of Christ. And it seems to us that we are moving fast, from Sunday to Sunday as it were, to the day when all horrors, all terrors, will have disappeared.
And yet so easily do we forget that before we reach the day of the Resurrection we must, together with Christ, together with His apostles, tread the road of the Crucifixion. 'So we are ascending to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall crucify Him, and the third day He will rise'. All we notice is that He will rise. But do we ever think of the way in which the disciples went to Jerusalem, knowing that the Crucifixion was at hand? They were moving in fear.
This disciple is the one whom, foolishly I believe, we call the Doubter: the one who was not prepared to give his trust to God, his faith, his life, his blood, without certainty. But his heart was unreservedly given to Christ. How wonderful to be such a man! But the other disciples would not desert Christ. They walked towards Jerusalem.
And we have today another example of one who went through a tragedy before they met Christ. It is Mary of Egypt. She was a sinner. She was a harlot. She was unfaithful to God in her soul and in her body. She had no reverence for this body which God had created and this soul. And yet she was tragically confronted with the fact that there was no way for her into the temple of God unless she rejected evil and chose purity, repentance, newness of life.
Let us reflect on the disciples who almost begged Christ not to return to Jerusalem, because Jerusalem was a city where all prophets had died; and they did not want Christ to die, and they were afraid. Let us ask ourselves how much we resemble them. And let us ask ourselves freely today how do we resemble, or not, Mary of Egypt - Mary who had lived her life according to her own ways and desires, followed all temptations of her body and soul; and one day realized that as she was, she could not enter the temple of God.
So easily do we enter the divine temple, forgetting so easily that the church into which we come is a small part of a world that has chosen to be alien to God, that has rejected God, lost interest in Him; and that the few believers have created for God a place of refuge - yes, the church is the fullness of Heaven, and at the same time a tragic place of refuge, the only place where God has a right to be because He is wanted. And when we come here, we enter into the divine realm. We should come into it with a sense of awe, not just walk into it as into a space but walk into it as a space which is already the divine Kingdom.
If we were in that mood we would, when we come to the doors of the church, be, however little, like Mary of Egypt. We would stop and say, 'How can I come in?' And if we did that with our whole heart, broken-heartedly, with a sense of horror of the fact that we are so distant from God, so alien, so unfaithful to Him, then the doors would open and we would see that we are not simply in a big space surrounded with walls but we are in a space which is God's Heaven come to earth.
Let us therefore learn from this experience what it means to go step by step towards the Resurrection, because in order to reach the Resurrection we must go through Calvary, we must go through the tragedy of Holy Week and make it our own, partaking with Christ and His disciples and the crowds around in the horror, the terror of it; and also experience it as a scorching fire that will burn in us all that is unworthy of God and make us clean. And perhaps one day, when the fire will have burnt everything which is not worthy of God, each of us may become an image of the burning bush, aflame with divine fire and not consumed, because only that which could survive the fire of God would have remained is us. Amen.

Do Antidepressants Improve Quality of Life?
A new analysis casts doubt on the benefits of antidepressants, though mental health experts question the study's design and conclusions.
By Becky Upham
People taking medications for their depression had some improvements in health-related quality of life, but they weren't significantly greater than those reported by individuals with depression who didn't take the drugs.Getty Images
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States. It's estimated that 21 million adults had at least one major depressive episode in 2020, and about two-thirds of those people received treatment, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
But do people who are depressed and take an antidepressant have improvements in their health-related quality of life compared with those who don't take medications? Not according to a new national study of U.S. adults: Though the people taking medications for their depression had some improvements in health-related quality of life, they weren't significantly greater than those reported by individuals with depression who didn't take the drugs, according to a new analysis published April 20 in PLoS One.
Depression Has Worsened During the Pandemic
Symptoms of depression can include a depressed mood, a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, and symptoms that include problems with sleep, eating, energy, concentration, or self-worth.
Before the pandemic, about 1 in 12 U.S. adults reported depressive symptoms each year. According to research published in October 2021 in the journal Lancet Regional Health Americas, that number has now tripled; nearly 1 in 3 U.S. adults — 32.8 percent — experienced elevated depressive symptoms in 2021.
Findings Suggest Antidepressants Did Little to Improve Health-Related Quality of Life
To examine the impact of antidepressants on quality of life measures in people with depression, the researchers used data from the 2005–2015 United States Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (MEPS), a large longitudinal study that tracks use of health services.
During the study period, an average of 17.5 million adult patients were diagnosed with depression, and 57.6 percent received treatment with antidepressant medications. Each participant took a quality of life survey called the SF-12, a self-reported survey that was used to measure health-related quality of life at the start of the study period and at the end of the two-year follow-up. The mental health component of the SF-12 includes questions about energy, mood, and emotional state, and if emotional problems have interfered with the person's ability to do normal activities.
Taking antidepressants was associated with some improvement on the mental component of SF-12, but when this positive change was compared with the change in the group of people who didn't take antidepressants, the improvement wasn't statistically significant, according to the researchers.
The authors concluded: "The real-world effect of using antidepressant medications does not continue to improve patients' health-related quality of life over time," since the change was about the same as in the group that didn't take any drugs.
Experts Have Found Major Flaws in the Study Design and Conclusions
It would be a mistake to conclude that antidepressants don't improve the quality of life for people with depression on the basis of this study, says Paul Nestadt, MD, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.
For starters, the tool used to assess quality of life was "rough and inelegant," he says. "Even though there was a 25 percent greater improvement in the mental component of the scale among patients taking antidepressants compared with the improvement without them (1.2 points vs 0.9 points), the effect as measured was too small to be statistically significant," says Dr. Nestadt. By these standards, it would be difficult for any improvements to register statistical significance, he says.
Although the health-related quality of life scale is useful for some studies as a way to gauge certain aspects of public health, it's not an appropriate tool to access the efficacy of antidepressants, says Bradley Gaynes, MD, MPH, the division head of global mental health at the UNC School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. "Health-related quality of life is a hard thing to demonstrate change in. I would put more weight on these findings if the authors had used a tool that measured depression itself," he says.
Additionally, the authors do not account for those who used other, alternative treatments for depression, such as psychotherapy versus nothing at all, says Nestadt. "There is so much unmeasured in these groups, including biases, such as who can afford different treatments, have access to them, or be willing to pursue them, that very few true conclusions can be drawn from this analysis of a large but superficial data set," he says.
Treating Depression Is Effective and Important
These findings don't fit with what Nestadt sees in his clinic. "In my experience, treating depression is quite effective. We have many useful treatment interventions, including medication and psychotherapy among others, and I have found that when these are utilized to treat a depressive disorder, the patient's quality of life improves dramatically," he says.
Dr. Gaynes too says the findings and the authors' conclusions don't match his clinical experience. "When we can identify clearly diagnosed depressive disorder and provide an adequately dosed treatment — whether that's a medication, psychotherapy, or another evidence-based therapy, it makes their depression less severe and they get better more quickly," he says.
People who are depressed should seek treatment from a professional, and people with depression who are taking an antidepressant should continue to take their medication as directed by their healthcare provider, says Gaynes.
"Depression is a treatable illness, and yet one symptom of the illness is a perception of hopelessness," says Nestadt. That can mean that even though most studies show tremendous benefit from treatment, some individuals may feel that nothing will work for them, he adds.
"That is dangerous and one reason that people do not get care. Overstated conclusions from papers like this one may contribute to that hopelessness and run contrary to what we know can save lives," he says.

* Women of Pixar – Jessie. Dory. Sally. Merida. Although they never cross paths and exist in different worlds, these iconic Pixar females have one thing in common: girl power. Meet a dynamic group of women from Pixar, whose experience and success at the studio have helped craft some of the most memorable animated films in recent history. They will share stories from their journeys and the lessons they have learned along the way. (Sunday, August 11, 1 p.m.)

ITV has struck a ú2m sponsorship deal with Heineken to sponsor its coverage of this summer's Rugby World Cup – the first network ITV deal where the same company sponsors the programme and the event.
ITV has struck a ú2m sponsorship deal with Heineken to sponsor its coverage of this summer's Rugby World Cup – the first network ITV deal where the same company sponsors the programme and the event.
The deal is expected to be the largest fully integrated UK TV sponsorship involving themed promotions and merchandising.
The fact that the sponsor for both broadcast and event are the same company will please the event sponsorship business, which last autumn voiced fears that TV deals were in danger of cannibalising sponsorship revenue (MW October 7).
ITV responded to these fears with assurances that all broadcast sports sponsorships will be offered to that particular event's sponsor first (MW October 14).
Heineken's on and off-air sponsorship will be supported by an on-pack promotion involving 31.5 million cans and 500,000 multipacks. There will also be posters in more than 4,000 pubs and off-licences nationwide, says Tim Brady, head of sponsorship at ITV airtime sales house TSMS, which negotiated the deal.
The Rugby World Cup will be on ITV from May 21 to June 24. Heineken on-screen sponsorship credits will be integrated with ITV opening and closing titles and in break bumpers. The first branded trailers will appear in March.
ITV's 1991 Rugby World Coverage generated a cumulative audience of more than 173 million. The broadcast sponsor was Sony which achieved unprecendented coverage, Brady adds.
The deal was negotiated by Brady with Richard Evans, marketing manager for Heineken, and Jeremy Wilton, head of sponsorship at Whitbread.
* Xerox announced yesterday (Tuesday) that it will sponsor the Rugby World Cup . The sponsorship deal is worth ú830,000.
The Notting Hill Carnival Trust (NHCT) has all-but halved the £2m sponsorship it originally sought for this year's carnival, after the organisation failed to sign a sponsor.


Sophomore Mike McGuire scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half of Western New England's 92-83 victory over Westfield State on Saturday (photo by Rachael Margossian).
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (December 9, 2017) – Another strong second half shooting performance sparked the Western New England University men's basketball team to a 92-83 victory over Westfield State University on Saturday afternoon in non-conference action at the Alumni Healthful Living Center.
• Junior guard Mikey Pettway (Bridgeport, Conn.) led five Golden Bears in double figures with a team-high 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 from the free throw line to go with eight assists and seven rebounds.
• Sophomore guard Mike McGuire (Garden City, N.Y.) finished with 14 points, four assists and three rebounds, while classmate Cole Eiber (Albertson, N.Y.) contributed 12 points, six boards and two assists.
• Freshmen Alex Sikorski (Rocky Hill, Conn.) and EJ Day (Norwalk, Conn.) both made significant contributions off the bench, as Sikorski recorded ten points, six rebounds and five assists, and Day added 14 points.
• Westfield State junior forward Marcus Collins (Cambridge, Mass.) paced the Owls with a game-high 22 points, seven rebounds and two blocks.
• Freshman guard Ty Sands (Waterbury, Conn.) totaled 12 points, six boards, four assists and two steals, while classmate Tray Rumley (Meriden, Conn.) produced 15 points and seven rebounds off the bench.
• The Golden Bears made three of their first five three-point attempts, including two from Eiber, and led 16-11 at the 13:37 mark of the first half. A triple from Day with 9:10 remaining gave Western New England its largest advantage of the half at 24-16.
• Westfield State answered 15 seconds later with a trey by junior Jay Trueheart (Waterbury, Conn.), which sparked a 13-4 run as the Owls pulled back ahead 29-28 with just under five minutes on the clock.
• The lead changed hands six times over the remainder of the half, with Westfield State holding a 41-40 edge at the break.
• The two teams traded baskets early in the second half, before Western New England took the lead for good (50-47) on a three-pointer by McGuire at the 15:47 mark. The sophomore connected from beyond the arc again 29 seconds later, while sophomore Mayo Aina (Providence, R.I.) and Sikorski added treys at 13:42 and 13:06, respectively, to give the Golden Bears their largest lead of the afternoon at 61-48.
• The Owls got as close as five (82-77) on a three-pointer by Sands with 2:15 left in the contest, but Western New England answered with six straight points to push their lead back into double figures, and McGuire sealed the contest with four free throws down the stretch.
• For the second straight game, the Golden Bears erupted offensively in the second half. Western New England shot 58.6 percent from the field (17-of-29) and 54.5 percent from beyond the arc (6-of-11) over the final 20 minutes of regulation.
• The Golden Bears won the rebounding battle 40-37.
• With the win, Western New England has secured its first three-game winning streak since the 2014-15 season.
Western New England (4-5) will be off for the next three and a half weeks, before opening its second semester schedule at home against Gordon College on Thursday, January 4. Westfield State (5-5) returns home to host Pine Manor tomorrow afternoon.

The Caucasus is a cradle of viticulture with a winemaking tradition that goes back thousands of years.
The vineyard is almost entirely surrounded by forest and has two distinct soil types: the lower area has rich, loamy soil, which is ideal for red grape varieties. The upper area's marl-rich and stony soil is perfect for the cultivation of white grapes.
Over 10 different varieties of grape grow in the vineyard.
Plants of the highest quality imported from France and Italy are also cultivated.
* Krasnostop – a very interesting and old autochthon (or native) Russian grape that is almost extinct.
DOMAINE BURNIER is cultivating this variety again, which brings forth an exclusive and full-bodied wine.

Federico Vairo Moramarco Angellastre (ur. 27 stycznia 1930 w Rosario, zm. 7 grudnia 2010 w Buenos Aires) – argentyński piłkarz, lewy obrońca. Wzrost 178 cm, waga 76 kg. Później trener.

Urodzony w Rosario Vairo rozpoczął karierę piłkarską w 1947 roku w swoim mieście rodzinnym, w klubie Rosario Central. W klubie tym rozegrał 8 sezonów, po czym w 1955 przeniósł się do klubu River Plate. Razem z River Plate trzy razy z rzędu sięgnął po tytuł mistrza Argentyny – w 1955, 1956 i 1957.

Jako piłkarz klubu River Plate wziął udział w turnieju Copa América 1955, gdzie Argentyna zdobyła mistrzostwo Ameryki Południowej. Zagrał w pięciu meczach – z Paragwajem, Ekwadorem, Urugwajem i Chile.

Rok później wziął udział w turnieju Copa América 1956, gdzie Argentyna została wicemistrzem Ameryki Południowej. Vairo zagrał we wszystkich 6 meczach – z Peru, Chile, Paragwajem, Brazylią i Urugwajem. W meczu z Peru zdobył swą jedyną w historii reprezentacyjnych występów bramkę.

Wciąż będąc piłkarzem River Plate, Vairo wziął udział w turnieju Copa América 1957, gdzie razem z Argentyną drugi raz w swej karierze zdobył mistrzostwo kontynentu. Zagrał w pięciu meczach – z Kolumbią, Ekwadorem, Urugwajem, Chile i Brazylią.

Jako gracz River Plate wziął udział w finałach mistrzostw świata w 1958 roku, gdzie Argentyna odpadła już w fazie grupowej. Vairo zagrał we wszystkich trzech meczach – z Niemcami, Irlandią Północną i Czechosłowacją.

W 1960 roku Vairo przeniósł się do Chile, gdzie grał w klubie CD O'Higgins. W przeciągu trzech sezonów klub plasował się w okolicach środka tabeli, aż w końcu, w 1963 roku, zajął ostatnie miejsce w tabeli i spadł do drugiej ligi.

W 1964 O'Higgins został mistrzem drugiej ligi chilijskiej i wrócił do pierwszej ligi. W 1967 Vairo przeniósł się do Kolumbii, gdzie z klubem Deportivo Cali zdobył mistrzostwo kraju.

Po zakończeniu kariery Vairo poświęcił swe życie pracy trenerskiej w niższych ligach, gdzie jako trener związany z River Plate przekształcał amatorskich piłkarzy w zawodowców, którzy później grali w pierwszej lidze.

Od roku 1999 pracuje dla klubu River Plate jako łowca młodych talentów w prowincji Santa Fe.

W latach 1955-1958 Vairo rozegrał w reprezentacji Argentyny 41 meczów i zdobył 1 bramkę. Należał do piłkarzy mających na koncie największą liczbę występów reprezentacyjnych – w latach 50. jedynie Omar Corbatta miał ich więcej (43), te rekordy pobite zostały dopiero w latach 90.

Vairo był bardzo trudnym do przejścia, szybkim i zwrotnym obrońcą. Zasłynął jak obrońca, z którym nie potrafił sobie dać rady nawet wielki Garrincha.

A team of scientists from the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute and Vanderbilt University have explained how a genetic mutation gives rise to Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome, which causes tumors to grow in several organs.
Their study was published recently in JCI Insight, a journal of the American Society for Clinical Investigation.
Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome is a rare disease, affecting about one in every 36,000 people, according to the National Institutes of Health. People with the disorder have an increased risk for developing cancer, but a main concern is on the syndrome's characteristic benign growths.
The benign lesions that occur in this disease are made of newly formed blood vessels that can cause serious complications in the retinal, brain, spinal cord, and the inner ear.
Chappell is also an assistant professor in the department of biomedical engineering and mechanics in Virginia Tech's College of Engineering. Before starting his laboratory at the VTCRI, Chappell worked at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with Kimryn Rathmell, who is now the director of the division of hematology and oncology and the Cornelius Abernathy Craig Chair of the department of medicine at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Rathmell had developed a mouse model to study conditionally induced mutations, similar to the mutations that lead to Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome in humans.
Rathmell was particularly interested in how the mutated gene led vessels to remodel into tumors, especially considering that the healthy gene was actually responsible for suppressing tumors. The team found that the mutation severely reduced how the vessels branched out in later development, but also it significantly accelerated the maturation of arterial vessels — especially in the cells that line the blood vessels called pericytes. These cells wrap around the endothelial cells that line blood vessels and help regulate blood flow and maintain vessel integrity and stability.
In health, the Notch pathway helps cells communicate and regulates growth and differentiation of neurons, as well as of vascular cells during development. The Von Hippel-Lindau protein helps the body sense oxygen levels, which cues other actions, including how vessels grow and branch out, in part through crosstalk with the Notch pathway. The mutated gene confuses those signals, disrupting the oxygen-sensing abilities, and the vasculature suffers.
This work was funded by National Institutes of Health, the VTCRI, and the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
In addition to the Vanderbilt and University of North Carolina teams, other VTCRI collaborators from Chappell's laboratory include Laura Beth Payne, a postdoctoral associate; Morgan Julian, a student at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine; Sarah Taylor, a research associate and Chappell's laboratory manager; Huaning Zhao, a graduate student in Virginia Tech's department of biomedical engineering and mechanics; and Jordan Darden, a graduate student in Virginia Tech's Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health graduate program.

Army and Marine Corps Integration
in Joint Operations
Our national military strategy recognizes today's uncertain world requires flexible and interoperable forces that can respond quickly to the multitude of potential crises that may threaten the United States vital national interests. To respond to these crises, the nation's evolving force structure must be capable and responsive to implement and enforce the strategy that will protect our national interests. The exact composition of a given force depends on the nature of the crisis and the prevailing strategic politico-military environment. Such "adaptive force packaging" seeks to maximize the capabilities of operational execution. This publication focuses on one type of force packaging available to the joint warfighting community: the integrated employment of United States Army (USA) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) forces.
Given the expanse of options available to joint planners in task-organizing Army and Marine Corps forces, this publication assumes two "base cases" to provide a common framework for discussion. These cases focus on the command and control (C2) of a notional Army brigade by a Marine expeditionary force (MEF) and the C2 of a notional Marine expeditionary force (forward) (MEF [FWD]) by an Army corps.
Organization and Fundamentals
Chapter I provides an overview of selected USA and USMC forces and describes the organization, capabilities, and limitations of an Army division ready brigade and a MEF (FWD) respectively. It also discusses the fundamentals of integrated operations to maximize the capabilities of one force to counterbalance the vulnerabilities of the other.
Chapter II provides an overview of the C2 system, principles of C2, and responsibilities for C2 commander. It describes the C2 organizations and facilities and C2 communications architecture of both the division ready brigade (DRB) and MEF (FWD). It recommends tactics, techniques, and procedures that are available for the joint force and subordinate commanders and staffs to C2 forces during integrated operations. Specific topical discussions include: command relationships, organization of forces, liaison, communications, and fratricide prevention.
Chapter III addresses intelligence support of integrated Army-Marine Corps operations. It highlights selected intelligence terms and defines the responsibilities of the various intelligence organizations that support the joint force and describes intelligence organizations and systems of the DRB and MEF (FWD). Service intelligence and electronic warfare (IEW) doctrine, organizations, and systems provide significant degrees of compatibility and interoperability. An integrated approach to IEW support to integrated operations builds upon the strengths and similarities of service IEW operations and organizations. The intelligence cycle described in Joint Pub 2-0, Joint Doctrine for Intelligence Support to Operations, and service intelligence doctrine provides a common framework for addressing these issues as they apply to Army and Marine Corps IEW operations. The chapter uses the cycle functions of plan and direct, collect, process, produce, and disseminate as the basis for planning and executing integrated Army/Marine Corps IEW operations.
Chapter IV defines maneuver at the operational and tactical levels of war and describes a joint Army-Marine Corps perspective on maneuver. It focuses on maneuver from the DRB and MEF (FWD) perspectives and includes a discussion of maneuver from an integrated vantage point. Specific topics include: AMCI complementary operational capabilities, tactical planning considerations, recommended employment options, and a recapitulation of major weapons systems and aircraft assigned to the DRB and MEF (FWD).
Fire Support
Chapter V defines fire support and describes DRB and MEF (FWD) fire support operations. It discusses diverging service perspectives on fire support and selected fire support coordinating measures and presents fire support tactics, techniques, and procedures to support integrated combat operations. Specific topical discussions include: task organizing artillery assets, characteristics of MEF (FWD) and DRB artillery, counterfire operations, Multiple Launch Rocket System support of USMC operations, close air support operations, naval air support, and artillery communications.
Engineer Operations
Chapter VI describes engineer support to combat operations. It establishes common terminology and addresses DRB and MEF (FWD) engineer C2 and organizations and equipment respectively. It also offers an integrated approach to planning and executing those operations by cross-walking the engineering capabilities of DRB and MEF (FWD) engineers regarding four common primary engineering functions of mobility, countermobility, survivability, and general engineering. Planning considerations for integrated operations are addressed and required engineer reporting procedures are established.
Chapter VII familiarizes commanders and staffs on the mission, capabilities, limitations, C2, and planning factors for employment of respective service aviation organizations. It describes the Army's and the Marine Corps' concepts, organizations, and C2 of their aviation assets, and defines the operational and augmentation requirements when employed with either the DRB or in support of USMC forces.
Air and Missile Defense
Chapter VIII addresses joint force air and missile defense operations. It provides the basis for a common lexicon and details operations from Army and Marine Corps perspectives respectively. The chapter also offers an integrated approach to planning and executing joint air defense operations.
Chapter IX defines authority and responsibilities for, and control of, logistics within and supporting the joint force. It describes DRB and MEF (FWD) logistics organizations and operations and includes a discussion of integrated logistics operations using the six logistics functions as the framework (supply, maintenance, health services, transportation, services, and general engineering).

Q: Finding sharing settings on custom objects I want to know on custom object what is the sharing setting whether is Private, Public or Public/Read/Write.
I have looked at the sharing table like CustomObject__Share
SELECT Id,ParentId,UserOrGroupId,RowCause,AccessLevel FROM CustomObject__Share
I did not get any rows.
I know that I can use Organization but this will NOT have any customObject information.
Select Id, DefaultAccountAccess, DefaultContactAccess, DefaultLeadAccess, DefaultOpportunityAccess from Organization
How would you go find what are the sharing settings on customObject?

A: There's two basic ways to do so: via the Metadata API or the Tooling API.
As a Tooling API query, you can do something like:
SELECT SharingModel FROM CustomObject WHERE DeveloperName = 'MyCustomObject'

Which will give you a value of None, Read, Edit, or ControlledByParent (for detail objects in a master-detail relationship).
Via the Metadata API is a similar experience. Prepare a package.xml or retrieveMetadata call that includes the custom object in question. The values there are sharingModel and externalSharingModel (if enabled). The possible responses are Private, Read, ReadWrite, ReadWriteTransfer, FullAccess, and ControlledByParent.
Note that you can differentiate between Edit and Read/None types simply by doing a describe call; if MyCustomObject__Share does not exist, it's Public Read/Write, otherwise its one of the other two values.
The Share table doesn't tell you what the default settings are, it tells you which users or groups have enhanced (higher than default) privileges, such as when a user clicks on the Sharing button to add additional members to the record's share.
