Samuel Rappylee Bateman, 46, is already facing state kidnapping charges and federal charges related to destroying evidence. Coconino County Sheriff's Office
Federal authorities appear to be closing in on an alleged polygamist cult leader accused of abusing underage girls, court documents show. In a new affidavit, an FBI agent claims Samuel Rappylee Bateman, 46, has more than 20 wives, many of them below the age of 15, that he sex-trafficked children, and that he even attempted to marry his own daughter, at one point trying to bribe her with snacks and money.
According to the FBI, Bateman was raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamist subset of the fundamentalist Mormon denominations, before breaking off to lead his own sect. The mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ended the practice of plural marriage in 1890 and now strictly prohibits it. The FLDS, active since the 1950s, still practices polygamy. It is run by self-declared prophet Warren Jeffs, who is attempting to hold onto his control of the group while serving a life sentence for child sex abuse charges related to underage marriages.
Bateman has been in jail in Arizona since September, when federal agents raided his homes in Colorado City, on the border with Utah. They were looking for evidence of underage marriages or sexual activities between adults and minors, according to reporting by the Salt Lake Tribune, which obtained a copy of the search warrant. Bateman was arrested and charged with three counts related to destroying records in a federal investigation. After Bateman was jailed, nine girls between the ages of 11 and 16 were taken from his homes and into the custody of state child welfare officials. The girls were placed in group homes in the Phoenix area but disappeared last week. They were found Thursday in Spokane, Washington.
At the time of the raid, Bateman was out on bond for three counts of child abuse, after state authorities stopped him in August on the highway and found three girls between the ages of 11 and 14 locked in a cargo trailer with a bucket for a toilet and no ventilation. He has pleaded not guilty to both the state and federal charges.

In the new affidavit, filed Friday in federal court in Spokane, FBI Special Agent Dawn A. Martin said the FBI has probable cause to believe that between May 2020 and Nov. 2021, Bateman and coconspirators transported minors between Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Nebraska to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and that Bateman then destroyed the evidence. Defense attorneys for Bateman did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
In 2019, Martin alleges, Bateman began claiming that he was a prophet of the FLDS. He was married to one woman at the time. On a road trip he told his daughter, then 14, that he felt like she was his wife, scaring her, according to an interview his daughter gave advocates in 2020. At a rest stop, he gave her a bag of Doritos and $50, and asked her what kind of car she would want to own, "like a bribe," Martin said. He also allegedly gave his daughter "nasty," and "slobbery" kisses and described in graphic detail how he would make a baby with her. When Bateman told his wife he wanted to marry their daughter, she took the child and left him.
Bateman began taking other wives, amassing more than 20 of them — most of them under the age of 15 — and gathered around 50 followers. Most of his wives are from two families of his followers, the filing alleges.
Portions of the affidavit draw on recordings made by a couple who gained Bateman's trust while trying to help people in the FLDS community and also filming a documentary. They described Bateman introducing them to a nine-year-old as his wife. They also turned over a recording from a 2021 conversation recounting an incident known as "the Atonement," in which Bateman "gave" three of his wives, one of whom was only 12, to "wicked bastards," or three of his adult male followers, for sex. He said God had told him to "give the most precious thing he has, his girls' virtue," to the three men — while he watched. He claimed the girls had "sacrificed their virtue for the Lord," the affidavit quoted him as saying. "God will fix their bodies and put the membrane back in their body," he allegedly continued. "I've never had more confidence in doing his will. It's all out of love."

Role of Games in Education
Written by Dr Rod Berger
Mat Frenz, Partnership Development at GlassLab, has an intimate knowledge of education gaming and the conversations bubbling up in development circles and school districts and today we got the chance to interview him and know his views on role of games in education.
Dr. Rod Berger: It seems that the narrative about games in education has started to become more rich and accurate to the exhaustive efforts you and others are putting into the development of sound educational offerings. Am I correct in this assumption?
Mat Frenz: I would say that's part of it. Over the last 3-5 years the quality of learning games has been getting better and better, matching the engagement level of the games that kids play at home and using sound pedagogy to deliver really powerful results. So it's due in part to game developers' efforts, but it's also due to countless foundations, universities, and other research-driven organizations that are invested in proving that games can be transformative. Without that hard data, the narrative wouldn't be nearly what it is today.
Ultimately, though, it's kids, parents, teachers, and administrators that have provided the consistent drumbeat that we're all dancing to. Whether they've seen the data or not, they intuitively understand the promise of games and have been asking for them...and asking for them...and asking for them. The question now is can we effectively deliver them to teachers and students in classrooms, and can we provide the surrounding infrastructure that takes them from a piece of content to a full-service educational tool?
RB: A global concern is the education industry's ability to attract talent at all levels. The same can be said for the edtech sector that aims to infuse talent into solutions for K-12 environments. How are we doing and why should this be important to school and district leaders and those involved in purchasing decisions?
MF: We've been able to recruit some amazing talent on the promise that games can transform education, but in order to retain that talent the market needs to consistently recognize the value of games. We know there's a lot of interest, but that doesn't mean administrators will think games are valuable enough to allocate resources toward them in place of textbooks, even if the research is overwhelming. We need this to happen, though, because if we can carve out even a small piece of the pie for games, the talent will be there, the quality will keep getting better, and the outcomes will keep getting stronger. But it won't happen if learning game developers have to continue to survive off of grants and app store sales.
RB: At the outset of gaming in education we consistently heard about entertainment versus learning. As I previously said, I think that narrative is shifting to a more accurate portrayal. Now comes the discussion of data and assessment. If I am a district or school leader what questions should I be asking about this aspect when evaluating the fit of a given game and/or gaming solution for my community?
MF: The first question you should ask is: Does the game work? Will it improve an outcome? This can be answered by looking at who developed the games, what their track record is, and what research they have to back up their claims. GlassLab does a lot of that work for administrators. We go to great lengths to prove the efficacy of our own games, but we also work to ensure that the third party game developers that we work with are of the highest quality and effectiveness. All of that information is available on www.glasslabgames.org. The next question is: Does the game make the learning visible in real-time - to both the learner and the educator? With games, learning is continuous and so when students are in the moment, playing, what better time to give them insights into their learning?
Sometimes our feedback is celebratory, sometimes it's the nudge a student needs to keep going, and sometimes it's that critical piece of insight that unlocks a whole new world of understanding. All the while, we're able to present the same critical information to the teacher, but in a way that is actionable and effective in the moment. As a school or district leader, you want to make sure that the games you're investing in are as effective as possible, and that means they have true formative assessment capabilities.
RB: In your opinion what has been the most compelling story, about games in education, that has moved the needle and advanced partnerships and buy-in from both commercial and education sectors?
MF: That's tough! Games are so versatile; they offer different value to different stakeholders. From a district and state perspective, though, I think the most compelling story is around the promise that games show as 21st century formative assessment tools. It's no secret that we need new and better ways to assess student outcomes. We all know one size does not fit all. Many times a multiple-choice question doesn't provide the kind of evidence of learning that educators need to inform their instruction. The gameplay data we're able to surface to students and teachers through our dashboards provide nuanced insights on student learning. That's an exciting prospect for educators looking to take it personalized instruction to the next level.
RB: I've always been a big believer in the approach that understanding what children like to do and then incorporating those elements into my approach with them. Is it a stretch to say that quality games provide a platform for students and adults to engage in meaningful discussion, problem solving and rapport building?
MF: It's not a stretch at all, but it is pretty early - at least in terms of digital games. Teachers have been using non-digital games to engage in meaningful discussion and deep problem solving for literally centuries. Digital games absolutely can be a bridge into much deeper learning, but it will take more than interest to do that on a grand scale. The first challenge was to get games to be generally accepted pedagogical resources. Check. The second challenge is to make games a generally adopted pedagogical resource. We're definitely on the path.
With greater adoption will come innovative ways of using games to deepen the classroom experience and enrich the learner-educator relationship. There are definitely teachers out there who embrace this idea, but it's not mainstream yet. Once it is, though, teachers will begin talking to each other about how to utilize games to their fullest potential. That is the shift we are looking for - the move from "How do I implement..." to "How do I make the most of..."
RB: Where is game development taking place outside of the U.S. and are there regions, globally, that are tackling this more than others that we should be aware of?
MF: We're seeing widespread virtualization of teams across many parts of software development, and the highly specialized form of game design and product development needed to make effective learning games means that there isn't a geographic center for the work yet that we know of. Small, often distributed teams working together online are becoming the norm. Because of the innovative nature of the field, you see founders often located in major software areas like San Francisco and Seattle, but often their developers are far afield, even in other countries.
We're beginning to see a lot of collaboration between designers and founders in the US and software teams in South America, the UK, and eastern Europe. Balancing this is the tricky way that educational needs tend to be very regional -- which means there are efforts in China, Europe, and India bubbling up that we have little exposure to in the US.

Samuel Steel Blair (December 5, 1821 – December 8, 1890) was a Republican United States Representative from Pennsylvania.

During the American Civil War, he called for increasingly harsh treatment against the southern states which had seceded from the Union, saying: "This rebellion cannot be put down by soft words and lenient measures."

Formative years
Born in Indiana, Pennsylvania on December 5, 1821, Blair was a product of his community's the public schools. He then attended and, in 1838, graduated from Jefferson College, in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.

After completing further studies in law, and securing admission to the bar in 1845, he began practicing law in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania in 1846.

From 1849 until 1864, he practiced law in Hollidaysburg in partnership with John Dean, who later became a Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice.

Political career
A member of the Republican Party in the United States, Blair was chosen to be a delegate to the 1856 Republican National Convention, and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1858 and 1860. During the Thirty-seventh Congress, Blair was named chairman of the United States House Committee on Private Lands. After unsuccessfully running for reelection in 1862, he resumed the practice of law.

As the American Civil War wore on, Blair urged his colleagues in the federal government to eschew "soft words and lenient measures," and pressed them to adopt a harsher stance against the southern states that were deemed to be "in rebellion." In a lengthy speech before the U.S. House of Representatives on May 22, 1862, Blair said:

"Mr. Speaker, we are divided in opinion about many things connected with the war, there is one purpose, however, in which a majority of this House would seem to be nearly united, and that is that the Government of the United States shall not be curtailed in its extent of territorial jurisdiction by the surrender of one foot of its soil to the southern confederacy. The people will not tolerate a conventional separation of any portion of this Union from the rest. If this is not a part of our fixed policy, if we are not in solid earnest to this extent, not an hour should be lost before sending an ambassador to Richmond to close the war. There was a time when it did appear as if—while the people were to be amused by movements leading to no decisive results—a subtile policy would, after long delay terminate hostilities by the jugglery of a compromise. The gloomy apprehensions of such a disaster were fast seizing upon the public mind; but the recent successes of our arms, on many fields of heroic valor have lifted the burden from the heart of the nation, and set it once more on its way of promise and of hope. The rebellion is to be subdued by the Army, not by concessions to treason; by the earnestness of war, not by the chicane of diplomacy.

... It is impossible for us to be at peace with a power which takes slavery, the stone which our fathers rejected, and defiantly makes it the head of its corner.

The object of this war upon our part is to restore the authority of the Government wherever it has been displaced, to enable the people ultimately to return to State governments in the Union, and to the full enjoyments of all their rightful possessions; except in so far as they may be deprived of them by the shock of war in the effort to subdue the rebellion and prevent its recurrence.

It is vain and foolish to expect or desire the original status of things as it was before the disturbances. We cannot expect the dead to rise from their bloody graves, nor homes once happy to spring up out of their ashes. For the losses of trade, of property of every kind taken, injured, or destroyed, there will be no recompense but in the lessons of wisdom they will teach; and when we see slavery gorged with the blood of the slain, and rioting in the havoc of war ... if the angels shall keep their vigils around about it, so that nothing in all the conflict shall do it harm, then must we, indeed, believe that it is a divine and sacred thing."

Blair went on in this speech to declare, "Slavery is the great primary cause" of the war, adding:

"It prompted the war, sustains and supports it, and it is waged for the openly avowed purpose of its perpetuation. No amount of sophistry can gainsay the truth of this proposition.... The monster is too gross, bald, and palpable to be concealed by all the disguises which ingenuity can weave. History will so write it down as plain truth.... I believe that unless we have the courage and the resolution to meet this enemy of our peace upon the square, and destroy it where it attempts to destroy us, another generation will not pass away till a new rebellion must be quelled, another debt of greater magnitude be added to the present, and the nation must again offer for sacrifice fresh hecatombs of her noble youth. We do not owe these troubles to any essential difference of sectional interests or of the character of the people. With all our diversity of soils, climates, and productions, we are truly homogeneous. The evils in which I am convinced are to be found the germs of the rebellion, would be just as manifest in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts, if slavery were there, as in Virginia or South Carolina.... The power given by law in any country, in any State, by which one man is permitted to own another as property is a tremendous one, and far transcending all other rights of property, it will always be, while human nature remains as it is, a stronger lever of social and political influence than all other interests....

It will be the pivot point of success for either party when it becomes wise enough to adopt the Madisonian idea of converting chattels into men....

There are those who look upon ... emancipation as evidence of our national decline and the decay of our constitutional liberty; but to me, Mr. Speaker, it is the surest evidence of our perpetuity as a nation."

Blair then went on to urge his colleagues to treat the seceded southern states as "a foreign Government of a thousand years' existence" that was at war with the United States, and pressed Congress to adopt "measures to pursue and destroy the enemy" and "destroy the southern confederacy." During the next major portion of his address, he then presented a lengthy discourse regarding the need for large-scale emancipation of the men, women and children who were still enslaved in the south, based on "the analogous belligerent right of confiscation of enemy's property," and advocated for passage of a new confiscation bill that would facilitate this emancipation before closing his oration with the following words:

"This rebellion cannot be put down with soft words and lenient measures. We extended the olive branch full too long, until our flag was disgraced and war commenced by the mad conspirators. We must, by all the means at our command, strike down the power of rebels to assail us, and then the work is done. They can build less iron-clad gunboats, now that we have Norfolk. They can cast less columbiads, build less steam-rams, and obtain less sugar to sweeten the bitter cup of treason, now that we have New Orleans; and when we have Richmond and Corinth, the back-bone of the rebellion will be broken.

The path of duty never shone so bright for a people as it does for us to-day. As we advance it grows brighter. The President's message recommending emancipation was the rending of the vail. The gift of freedom to a few poor, but oh! how grateful, recipients, has returned to bless the hearts of millions who bestowed it. A deed more rich in virtue, more fruitful in the approving of conscience, more blessed with the smiles of Almighty God, stands not on the records of this nation. The whole ample domain of the Territories will soon be declared free, and that for which we have labored for many years is about to be accomplished. I do not know how much may be affected by legislation to redeem a race from bondage whose enslavement is the crime for which we suffer. The providences of God are brought about through courses that are not always plain to mortal eye, and yet to them there is no "variableness of shadow of turning," and our path to-day lies by their side. Events are marching on. Happy is that people who blind not their eyes to the "cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night."

In 1874, Blair attempted to regain higher office, but was once again unsuccessful.

Death and interment
Blair died in Hollidaysburg and was interred in that community's Presbyterian Cemetery.

Flux magnetic relaxation (flux creep) causes logarithmic decay on the critical currents in superconductors, especially at high temperatures, in detriment of applications for high temperature superconductors. In this work, we present a novel methodology to measure the flux creep rate in YBCO from electrical transport measurements instead of using traditional magnetic relaxation measurements. This new methodology provides a faster way to analyze creep and enables to expand the analysis to any orientation of the magnetic field. In particular, we have applied this analysis to study the creep rate in chemical solution deposited nanocomposites (YBCO with included nanoparticles), revealing that emerging stacking faults provide flux pinning and additionally reduce the flux magnetic relaxation.


Looking through every page of housewares on Anthropoligie's website... then deciding everything is too expensive and going to H&M instead.
Pinning elaborate recipes I know I'm never going to make.
Taking everything out of my closet thinking I'm going to do a clean out, only to get stressed and put it all back in.
Telling myself I'm only going on Instagram for five minutes.
Hope your Wednesday is more productive than mine!
Great sweater! Very pretty color of it!
I don't know. There is something about the whole idea of needing to be productive all the time that resonates with me less and less. Particularly because I'm coming to realise that I often find myself just scrolling my phone in moments when I'm not working towards a tangible goal and that really doesn't show that I'm able to relax, either... Plus, scrolling all the pages on the Anthropologie website shows dedication ;) I think I almost bought those same mules at Target over the weekend (I say I think because Target's site isn't very reliable for Canadians, and that link may have taken me to an entirely different shoe that you intended.) Looking forward to seeing you style them either way. And as always, loving how you look in orange hues.
This color combo is gorgeous - love those leopard flats!
I love that this post! Probably because this is the mood I am in too! I'm so sluggish, don't feel like doing anything, and these sales are really urging me to spend more than I can. Love your sweater btw, That color is gorgeous!
Hahaha, yep sounds like me too!
Loving those pants, they look so soft!
I miss Target runs and all the fun purchases those led to so very much. Productivity is impossible when Target is in the mix, as far as I'm concerned.
That apple tart looks really good, but I rarely make the recipes I pin. Lol. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
LOL I am so with you on the Target run!!
Super busy Wednesday but that's because I want tomorrow to be a relaxing day. Hope that you enjoy Thanksgiving Day!
Hi Would you like to follow each other?
There are times where we just need to take a break and not be productive with work. Instead productive with Black Friday shopping!
Love that sweater! Such a great color on you!
The first line made me LOL. I love Anthro's home decor and always stock up when its on sale.
Hahaha I do the same thing on the Anthro website! Even with sales it's a little overpriced if you ask me. LOVE your sweater in this post!
It is easy to get caught up looking at things we will never buy and never cook. I do it too! Your outfit also looks amazing!
Love your leopard loafers!! They are some of my most worn shoes, the best neutral!
While it may not be productive for them, you get so much inspiration! What a great sweater L.

Steering Committee Condemns the Detention of Levon Barseghyan by Armenian Authorities
#Armenia
#SC Statements
#Statements
The Steering Committee of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum condemns the detention of Levon Barseghyan, Chairman of the Board of the Gyumri Journalists Club "Asbarez", by the Armenian authorities after making a public speech in Yerevan, in which he criticised the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan.
The apparent reason for his detention is ludicrous. The authorities claim that a penknife was found on his person.
The Steering Committee (SC) also condemns his treatment while in detention (lack of food and water, as well as access to bathroom facilities), which led to the deterioration of his state of health and the need to call an ambulance.
Mr Barseghyan is a respected member of the Civil Society Forum and the way he is treated is a test case of Armenia's commitment to European values and to good relations with the European Union.
There is a reason to believe that many other Armenian citizens have been detained in Yerevan in recent days in the wake of the attack on the Erebuni police station. The grounds for these arrests may be as preposterous as that of Mr Barseghyan.
The SC urges the Armenian authorities to release Levon Barseghyan and all other people unlawfully detained only because they exercised the constitutional freedoms of assembly, expression and speech. All officials who abused their power should be held accountable.
The Steering Committee calls on the European Union to take all possible steps to ensure that the Armenian authorities release Levon Barseghyan and all the people detained on political grounds, and that an impartial investigation of the actions by the police is conducted.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Michael Angelo's. The opinions and text are all mine.
If you've ever had to help one of your children find the backpack that is sitting right by the front door (where it always is and where they claim they checked) or watched your husband take his clothes off and drop them a foot away from the hamper, you probably dread leaving home for fear the house will fall apart in your absence.
The good news is, you're important to your family. The bad news is, they might be relying on you a little TOO much. That's why it's a good idea to help them manage without you once in a while. Plus, a little me-time is an essential part of any mom's self-care routine and actually makes it easier for you to be a better mom!
So, how exactly, are you supposed to get away for a day or two without your family falling apart? It's not as hard as you think. Today I'm going to share some tips to make it easy for your family to survive a weekend without you.
The first thing you need to do it ward off any tears or pouting about leaving them behind to run off and do something fun. The easiest way to do this is to get the kids excited about all the fun stuff they get to do while you're gone!
Once you've got the kids excited about the weekend (and distracted from the fact that you're leaving), it's a good idea to lay out some expectations so that it's not a full-blown party weekend while you're away.
This is a key part of making your weekend away relaxing for you and a growth experience for your family. Let them know what you expect to find when you get home.
Just remember to keep your expectations reasonable. Instead of demanding a spotless house upon your return, be specific. For example, I tell my family that I like to return to uncluttered surfaces (floors, counters, tables) and an empty sink.
Most importantly, post the information page somewhere it will be seen. I always put it right on the fridge door. This reduces the chance of it getting lost, plus it will serve as a visual reminder while you're away.
It took me a couple of trips to realize that if I didn't stock the fridge and freezer before I left that my husband's default meal planning mode was junk food and fast food. Sure, this works great with the staycation idea, but isn't ideal if you're gone for more than one night or if you travel multiple times a year.
Also, truth being told, I don't simply want my family to SURVIVE their time without me, I want them to learn how to function as well as when I'm home. I want them to make good food choices whether I'm there or not.
To make sure the choice I hope they make gets chosen, I've learned that it needs to also be the easy choice. That can be a challenge when we're up against pizza delivery!
That's why I love Michael Angelo's freezer meals! Take a good look at the nutrition label and you'll find that it's full of wholesome, simple ingredients. The ingredients read like a grocery list, not the supply list for a chemistry lab.
You won't find preservatives or other additives. Instead, you'll find perfectly aged artisan cheeses, Grade-A vine-ripened tomatoes from California, and heirloom garlic grown from Italian seed.
Seriously, Michael Angelo's is pickier than I am when it comes to choosing high-quality ingredients for their meals. And trust me, you can taste the difference.
If you're doing a major stock-up, you can find them at Costco. My local Wal-Mart also carries a large selection. Look for them in the freezer aisle. These are great to stock the freezer with before you leave. To find locations that sell near you, find the store locator here (just click "Where to Buy" in the upper right corner).
Of course, you don't have to wait for a trip out of town to enjoy Michael Angelo's entrees. February 13th is National Italian Food Day so it's the perfect reason to sample a variety!
I also keep some on hand for those nights when I don't want to spend a lot of effort on dinner. Buy some salad kits to keep in the fridge for an easy, healthy side dish.
Other smart options to stock your kitchen with to make it easier for your family to make good choices while you're away are fresh fruit, trail mix, popcorn, yogurt, and nutrient-dense soups. This will give your family easy, mom-approved options to handle any craving outside of dinner.
The most important part of ensuring a successful weekend away from your family is to make sure you get the reunion right. If done correctly, you and your family will experience the right balance of joy at seeing each other and willingness to be temporarily separated again in the future.
No matter what may NOT have been done while you were away, make sure to take time at first to appreciate everything your family did well. Then, ask them for details about how their weekend went.
This will show them that even though you weren't with them, you are still very much a part of their lives. Don't forget to let them share in your experience too.
Don't be afraid to tell them you had a great time. Let them enjoy the story of your adventure!
Finally, celebrate being together again by doing something as a family. Whether it's watching a show together, going out for a treat, or playing a game as a family, make an effort to reconnect doing something fun.
If you follow the tips above, you should be able to spend an occasional weekend away from your family to recharge or reconnect with friends. Your family won't simply survive without you, they'll develop important skills and newfound confidence. Best of all, when you return, your family will be stronger and happier than ever.
Special thanks to Michael Angelo's for sponsoring today's post and for making it easier for my family to survive without me when I travel away from home!

Update – Enrollment Opens in Apple Medical Studies

15 Nov. 2019. Three medical research studies using Apple iPhones and watches as data collection devices are now available for enrollment with the company's Research app. Apple first announced the Research app and proposed medical studies at the company's new-product roll-out in September, reported on Science & Enterprise.
The Research app aims to ease the process for taking part in medical research for iPhone and Apple Watch users. The app displays studies designed for the app's software, particularly research requiring large numbers of enrollees and following participants over extended periods of time. The studies also take advantage of other features in iPhone and watch software, such as location and activity tracking.
One project, the Apple Women's Health Study, aims to gain a better understanding of menstrual cycles and gynecologic conditions including infertility, menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome. The research is a joint undertaking of Apple with Harvard University's public health school and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of NIH. The study collects data on menstrual experiences and cycles with monthly surveys. The researchers expect to collect the data over several years, correlating survey responses with physical activity, mobility, and reproductive health issues.
"In the past it's been very difficult to quantify behavioral factors," says bio-statistics professor Jukka-Pekka Onnela, a researcher on the project, in a university statement, "With data from smartphones and wearable devices, we can eventually measure these factors unobtrusively over long periods of time."
A second study joins Apple with American Heart Association and Brigham and Women's Hospital to study heart health and physical movement. The Apple Heart and Movement Study collects data with iPhones and watches on physical activity and mobility, correlated with heart rate and rhythm, to reveal early warning signs of impending heart disease, such as atrial fibrillation.
The third project, the Apple Hearing Study, assesses exposure to noise over time and its effects on hearing loss. Apple and University of Michigan's public health school are partnering to capture data from participants' iPhone and watches on noise exposure, using the devices' recording capabilities.
"For the very first time ,at an individual level," says Michigan public health professor Rick Neitzel in a university statement, "we'll have a holistic sense of people's noise exposures. We'll start to be able to evaluate the link between music and hearing loss, and how long-term sound exposure can impact stress levels and cardiovascular health."
Apple says in a company statement that the Research app has features that enable data sharing only when the participant approves, and includes clear, detailed specifications for informed consent.

One of the most startling books I have read was Improvisation and Inventio in the Performance of Medieval Music, by Angela Mariani. My contact with medieval music has mostly been through singing in a Gregorian chant schola and singing the Divine Office privately (so that would be liturgical music of the 9th-15th centuries, mostly); and when I was 8-12 years old I played the recorder and participated in the medieval instrument groups at an early music center near my house. I remember it being a blast. Via Gregorian chant I became interested in what's called para-liturgical medieval music, which are songs that would have been sung outside of the liturgy: that is, they are not part of the Mass or Divine Office, but rather would have been sung by people on processions, during vigils, to pass the time, for fun, and so on. But their content is religious, predominantly about the Virgin Mary.
The attraction in para-liturgical music is that it is not constrained by ritual considerations. If you want to sing it fast or slow, repeat it ten times, add some ornament, dance while you sing, or have your friends join in with trumpet and drums, you are free to do so. Liturgical music is part of the liturgy, which is a form of ritual sung prayer offered to God, not entertainment for us to do with as we please. So the purposes and demands of the music are quite different. With liturgical music one wants to participate in the prayer, not make a show of oneself. And the chants fit in specific places in the liturgy, and cannot be improvised or modified at a whim. This is not a bad thing (it is a very holy and profound thing to chant parts of the Mass or Office); but it is fun to have fun with non-liturgical music, too.
So in light of this I discovered there is quite a fuss over how exactly one should sing medieval music (even the chants of the Mass), because the notation at that time was not like later classical music notation which indicates every detail of performance. Early notation was like a sketch or gesture, probably largely a mnemonic device to help remind people of the melody and words when they already knew it mostly by memory. When people today perform medieval music they bring all sorts of modern ideas to it – should it sound like rural peasant music from Europe? Should it sound like Middle Eastern music? Should it be regular and slow? Bouncy and fast? With what instruments? With what sort of voice quality? (There is a way of women singing Gregorian chant that I call "nun voice" – a kind of delicate, high voice. Not the way I sing.)
Here for instance is a German group singing a medieval song: https://youtu.be/2l-H6eG2SsY
And here is a very different interpretation of the same song by an Italian group: https://youtu.be/Y40cH2zJwfU
Anyway, Ms. Mariani, author of the book mentioned above, started out as a rock musician, moved into folk music, and then discovered medieval music. She is also conservatory trained and now a professor of music in the US. From that experience she writes a very readable, very straightforward text on the necessity of bringing improvisation to performance. The notation was never intended to be read in a prescriptive way (not until after the baroque period did more prescriptive notation develop – in part because manuscripts were now being sent far away, without the composer in attendance to conduct the musicians and explain how he wanted it to sound).
She then talks about the use of rhetoric in the Middle Ages. Memorization in a culture that valued memory and oral tradition didn't mean rotely memorizing texts. It meant memorizing chunks of information which one could then call up and reorganize into arguments, interpretations, sermons, song, poetry and so on. Improvisation in music consists in knowing the musical genre and your instrument(s) deeply enough that you can draw on that pool of possibilities to create new interpretations, improvisations and performances at will.
I grew up learning music by reading only, and struggled to memorize when it was required for lessons. When I moved to Brazil I was horrified to discover there was no sheet music and no hymnals. When people sang in the local parish, they sang what they had learned by ear. I remember someone trying to teach me a new hymn once by singing it for me a few times. I stared at him, stupified. He seemed baffled that I couldn't get it on short notice.
Interestingly, after several years of having to deal with this every weekend I began to be able to pick up melodies quickly. The 'rehearse for the first time half an hour before Mass' scenario became less frustrating. I am also finding it easier to memorize pieces for my (classical) voice lessons. And I have experimented briefly with composition. That's something I want to explore more deeply. But like the brush and pen exercises: one step at a time.
Angela Mariani's book on improvisation: Highly recommended, life changing, fabulous.

In order to honour the traditions and legacy of past generations, Heikki and Tuula built Oivangin lomakartano on the same ancient dwellings where the Sami people used to live. Today, also the son Kalle is working in the family business and continuing the story and fine traditions of Oivangin lomakartano.
People have been living on the shores of Oivanki's lakes in Kuusamo for thousands of years. People respected the surrounding countryside, living in harmony with the nature. They have made their livelihood from fishing, hunting and foraging from the nature. A little later the Sami people followed their example and built their summer huts on the same lakesides. The surrounding waters and woods appeared to be rich for the Sami people as well. Many names of dwellings and lakes along with several local legends and beliefs originated during this Sami period.
Private restaurant Ukonkivi and the four log chalets offer the perfect place for the most important moments of your life. All the Oivanki chalets are located on the shores of beautiful lakes in the middle of a northern forest. All the surrounding lakes are known for their clean waters and fish variety. The log chalets of Oivangin lomakartano are suitable for company meetings, family celebrations or a holiday place for friends and family.
The traditional and elegant dining hall of the private restaurant Ukonkivi is perfect for weddings, Christmas parties, business meetings and family gatherings. Ukonkivi offers an atmospheric setting also for á la carte candlelit dinners, for example late summer's crayfish parties. We are proud of the delicious meals of our restaurant kitchen. We use fresh ingredients found in nature with special preference to ingredients produced locally. We wish to prepare traditional and delicious food with a modern touch with the specialities of the season.
Enjoy, listen and experience with all your senses. Join your host Heikki and collect the fish from the nets, experience the thrill of a husky safari through a snowy forest as the snow crystals sparkle like diamonds, or taste the traditional Finnish bread freshly baked by your hostess Tuula. We wish you all a very warm welcome!

New clinical study shows nutrition after cancer surgery improves patient recovery time and could save the NHS millions
The National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI)
Cancer patients can recover faster from surgery – and potentially save the NHS millions – if they are given liquid food directly into the intestine, say researchers who are presenting at the National Cancer Research Institute Conference on Monday.
Patients with cancers of the oesophagus, stomach and pancreas have been traditionally fasted or are nil by mouth, for up to 10 days after gastrointestinal operations, as surgeons have long thought that nutrition after surgery may be detrimental to patients' recovery.
But a clinical trial funded by a grant from the Health Foundation, and led by Cardiff University and the University Hospital of Wales has found that if patients are give nutrition directly into the intestine – through a feeding tube – they recover around three days faster than if they were fasted and only hydrated with fluids through a drip*.
Patients also developed fewer major complications following their surgery.
The trial of 121 patients looked at whether nutrition straight after surgery had any effect on the speed of recovery compared to eating nothing.
The researchers now believe that if liquid food is given after all major abdominal and thoracic surgery it could save the NHS millions of pounds.
Dr Rachael Barlow, lead investigator on the trial at Cardiff University and the University Hospital of Wales, said: "In our trial we turned the traditional thinking to starve patients after major gastrointestinal surgery on its head and have found huge benefits. The striking find that nutrients straight after surgery meant patients recovered quicker and tended to have fewer complications has major implications for the NHS.
"Importantly patients who were given the nutrition were more likely to be healthier and have a better quality of life in the months after surgery. And may result in a saving of millions of pounds and could mean fewer bed shortages in hospitals.
"A day in an NHS general or surgical ward costs up to £400 and in an intensive care unit it can cost up to £1200 or more. In this economic climate of financial deficits, finding new ways of improving care is important for NHS managers.
"The next step is to find out if we can adopt the same practice in other types of surgery and we are hoping to run more clinical trials in this area."
Professor Sir Kenneth Calman, chair of the NCRI, said: "This result shows that a small change in follow up care after operations for oesophagus, stomach and pancreas cancer could benefit patients and have huge cost saving implications for the NHS. We look forward to seeing the results of further clinical trials to see if the same technique of food after surgery can be applied to patients who have had operations for other types of cancers."

Uneori este abreviat "Wm." Prescurtate, versiunile familiare în limba engleză includ Will, Willy, Willie, Bill și Billy. O formă comună irlandeză a acestui nume este Liam. Forme feminine sunt Willa, Willemina, Willamette, Wilma și Wilhelmina.

Etimologie
William provine prenumele Wilhelm (conform germanei vechi Wilhelm, în germană Wilhelm și în nordica veche Vilhjálmr).

Istorie în limba engleză
În limba engleză William provine din limba limba anglo-normandă și a fost transmis în Anglia după Cucerirea normandă din secolul al XI-lea.În curând a devenit cel mai popular nume în Anglia, împreună cu alte nume normande precum Robert (în limba engleză înrudit a fost Hrēodbeorht), Richard, Roger (în limba engleză înrudit a fost Hroðgar), Henry și Hugh, toate de origine germanică, transmise prin utilizarea francezei vechi a normanzilor.

Résumé : Site éditeur :
This report examines the development of the English Defence League (EDL). It argues that the EDL is best viewed as a movement gravitating around what this report calls 'new far right' ideology. This is a very loose set of views, yet one that presents a clearly politicised approach to social issues by combining ultra-patriotism, a critique of mainstream politics, and an aggressive, anti-Muslim agenda. Addressing these points, the following are the report's key findings:
First: The English Defence League is most usefully understood as a social movement. It has a limited central organisational structure (a Social Movement Organisation, or SMO), which offers a level of coherent organisation, and a broad party line, to a wider set of networked followers. However, it is also heavily reliant upon grass-roots networks, such as the Casuals United organisation, and the initiative of local and regional leaders, to develop its division-based activism.
Second: The EDL has updated and modernised an older far right strategy called 'march and grow'. Marches and protests offer EDL supporters a series of high profile, rousing demonstrations that garner media coverage, allowing the movement to gain more support. Attendance at such protests can also boost morale through shows of unity. Arguably, the EDL's most important innovation is the introduction of new media such as Facebook in order articulate a 'new far right' ideology. As such, limiting the movement's ability to march would likely impact negatively on its fortunes.
Third: The English Defence League's 'new far right' activism is largely driven by a single issue, namely a potent anti-Muslim agenda. In the wake of 9/11 and 7/7, this prejudice has been strong within British culture, and resonates troublingly amongst elements within the wider public today. To a significant degree, this anti-Muslim attitude is dependent upon negative media representations. The presence of a wider culture of anti-Muslim prejudice is crucial to the EDL's on-going viability. Should anti-Muslim sentiment significantly decline in the UK, it is likely that any wider support for the EDL, in its current form, would also decline.
Fourth: Although anti-Muslim sentiment is commonplace within the EDL, emergent psychological research into the movement stresses that such views are often expressions of more general frustration with society amongst angry young men. The EDL's anti-Muslim rhetoric centres upon a scapegoat figure, a target to air a more generalised disconnection from modern Britain. Responding to a sense of powerlessness by 'performing' an empowered, male identity through street protests and violence, however, is an ultimately unfulfilling channel for such frustrations. For some followers, this has the potential to develop into a cycle of criminality and violence. Given the wider social movement's ability to give licence, either actively or tacitly, to various forms of extremism, tackling the EDL and other 'new far right' groups needs to become a core component of the Prevent Strategy.
Fifth: Britain's economic circumstances broadly impact upon the fortunes of domestic far right movements. Yet this needs to be understood in relation to specific localities, not only nationally. Without addressing underlying economic and social tensions within areas identified with EDL and 'new far right' support, it is likely that the movement will continue to find fertile conditions in more deprived pockets across the country. This has been the tendency with the history of the BNP, for example, which is now failing largely because of internal issues. To combat this, a relevant and empowering local politics is crucial to tackling support for extreme forms of ultra-patriotism and ultra-nationalism.
Sixth: The English Defence League is able to appeal to people wishing to register more general discontent with mainstream politics. As the other major vehicle for this type of protest politics, the BNP, continues to decline, some of its supporters may look to the EDL as an outlet. Potentially, this pressure could even lead to the EDL becoming a political party, although the leadership continues to deny any such ambitions. As a vehicle for populist, direct-action protest, the energies of the EDL may also be superseded by a more respectable 'new far right' party, such as the English Democrats (which is also currently accommodating former BNP supporters). Such a party could offer a clearly non-violent voice to those who feel disenfranchised by mainstream politicians. Many latent 'new far right' supporters are ultimately seeking just such a non-violent form of 'new far-right' politics.
Seventh: There are a number of other potential outcomes at this juncture for the future of the English Defence League. The leadership could continue to maintain its control over a large part of the movement, as it has done to date. This suggests that the EDL could well continue in its current form for some time. Contrastingly, an unpredictable leadership crisis could easily lead to further fragmentation of the EDL. One risk here is that such fragmentation will also lead to further radicalisation among some of its more hardened followers, as is already evident in the case of the 'Infidel' splinter groups.

Translational Medicine (TRANSMED)
Studies for non-TRANSMEDs
Welcome new TRANSMEDs
Translational Medicine /
The Master of Science in Translational medicine degree provides excellent opportunities to apply for and attend postgraduate studies. Currently, more than 50% of TRANSMED graduates are continuing their studies in doctoral programmes, either at the University of Helsinki or abroad.
Graduate Statistics
From marine biology to neuroscience
Monitoring clinical trials
One of the best study environments
TRANSMED graduates are also highly valued in the private sector. Almost 40 % of graduates have been employed directly by bioindustry, pharma or other health sector enterprises either in Finland or abroad. Titles include product manager, product specialist, personalised health care manager, clinical research associate etc.
The health and health technology sectors represent a rapidly emerging field, and one of the areas with a growing importance as the population ages and the costs of new therapies steadily increase. Thus, the demand for well-trained specialists in the field of translational medicine is likely to increase in the near future, providing excellent career prospects globally.
If you are interested in an academic research career or aim for employment in health sector enterprises at the PhD level, you may apply to several doctoral programmes in University of Helsinki:
Doctoral programme in biomedicine
Doctoral programme in population health
Doctoral programme in clinical research
Drug Research Doctoral Programme (DRDP)
Integrative Life Science Doctoral Program (ILS)
Doctoral Programme Brain & Mind (B&M)
Doctoral programme in microbiology and biotechnology (MBDP)
TRANSMED graduates are also eligible to apply for the FIMM-EMBL International PhD in Molecular Medicine and Bioinformatics, or for PhD programmes in other universities, in Finland and abroad.
Lea Urpa moved to TRANSMED from marine biology, and is now continuing her studies in the FIMM-EMBL International PhD programme of FIMM, Institute of Molecular Medicine Finland.
"The number one thing is to figure out what you want, and that's also the hardest part. Sometimes it just means trying out different stuff and seeing what happens," says Lea Urpa from experience.
After her Bachelor's studies in biology, she worked as a math and science teacher and interned in a neurobiology lab. There she decided she wanted to work closer to humans and study neuroscience. While still living in the US, Urpa found out about TRANSMED, applied, and got accepted.Read moreLea's story
TRANSMED alumnus Joni Degerman finished his CRA graduate trainee program at IQVIA (previously known as QuintilesIMS) in October 2016. He has since been working as an independent Clinical Research Associate monitoring mainly phase II and III clinical trials in UK.
Joni Degerman has a B.Sc. from the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Pharmacy. For an MSc, he chose to study in the TRANSMED programme and completed his Master's thesis in professor Kari Alitalo's Translational Cancer Biology Research group.
He graduated in autumn 2015 and started job hunting in clinical research field.
"First, I planned to stay in professor Alitalo's research group and continue as a PhD student, but clinical research felt more appealing to me at the time, and still does" Degerman says.
At the time, pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations in Finland had very few trainee and junior roles open, so Degerman started to apply for jobs abroad as well.
In April 2016, he was invited for an assessment day at IQVIA's graduate trainee programme in Reading, UK.

Before starting her studies in Master's Programme in Translational Medicine, Elisa Karhu studied integrative biology at University of California, Berkeley.
"I chose the TRANSMED programme because I was interested in medicine and wanted to get a better understanding of the research process that helps to bring about new treatments and innovations in medicine," she says.
Since graduating from the programme, Karhu has moved back to the US and is currently studying at a University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. However, her time in TRANSMED does not pale in comparison to other esteemed universities she has enrolled in.

seriously??? where? because wherever it is, i want to go. i'm so ready to trade in my down coat for some flip flops.
when you don't know what to say . . .
periodically we all encounter moments when we just don't know what's going on.
"Confusion now hath made his masterpiece!
1. find a mover. i've done this so many times already it should go smoothly, but the truth is, shopping for a mover is kind of like shopping for a used car. if you've ever bargain shopped for movers, you know what i'm saying.
2. realtor to arrive at 10:00 to inspect apartment and determine market value for next renter. i hope they're farm folks and can be very happy here.
3. get some work done to earn the funds for the move.
4. 4:30 appointment for podcast interview with cookbook author which i find hysterical since i am the worst cook in america. she promised not to ask me anything about cooking, just nutrition science and my organization. this reminds me that in the last 8 1/2 months i have not had a meal with another live human being, or that was cooked in an oven, or contained more than 1 single item like soup or asparagus and the occasional meal of cadbury eggs or a lindt bar. so looking forward to the candle cafe with friends!
5. check craigslist for a place to move to. call realtors.
6. begin box collection process and make moving checklist.

rounding up for the wind chill?
it is 3.6 but with the wind chill factor it feels like 4.
this is simply a public service announcement for you safety – not a complaint.
since it was 10 degrees when i got up this morning and it looks like it's heading down to the single digits tonight and i have promised not to complain about the weather this winter, i have nothing to say. here is a nice picture for you look at instead.
i have much higher expectations for 2011.

Q: JSON parsing from a website randomly errors with 500 I created an application that logs in to an external website (out of my control) to the monitor-service that we bought. Website is basically a Web API with GUI for vendor-like machines.

The ancient Romans called this land "Campania felix", due to its mild climate and the fertility of its soil. Many patrician families established their summer residence on the coastal area of this region and the Emperor Tiberius administered the Empire from his villa in Capri, during the last years of his life. It would be too much simplistic thinking that Campania is composed only by its famous coastal localities (the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi coast, the Cilento coast). In fact, the treasure of ancestral traditions, both cultural and oeno-gastronomic ones, is hidden in the inland areas of Samnium and Irpinia. Here, the genuineness both of the products and the lifestyle inspired the principles of the Mediterranean diet to the American scientist Ancel Keys.

Naples is located halfway between the volcano Vesuvius and the separate volcanic area, the Phlegrean Fields. It is an enchanting and moving city. It is unique and different. A lot of symbols of Italy abroad were born here, as for example the pizza, the pasta, the ragù (tomato sauce with veal or pork requiring 5-6 hours cooking time), the unique ricotta-based pastiera, the babà, the tarantella, the Neapolitan mask Pulcinella, the Neapolitan songs, the Neapolitan theatre, the typical Neapolitan comic spirit.

Q: Using a Function Like foldl Recursively As an exercise, I'm trying to write a function that behaves the same way as the foldl function and I'm trying to use recursion, as well.
My function will be called, "leftFolder" and the signature will look like a foldl function's:
 leftFolder :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
I'm kinda stuck on what to do, but here's what I've tried:
leftFolder :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
leftFolder [] = []
leftFolder (x:xs) = x (++) (leftFolder xs)

In my mind, this makes sense. I'm saying that if the list is empty, return an empty list. If it's not, then take the head of the list and then keep appending it to the tail.

A: There are a lot of issues with your code. For example:

*

*you are pattern matchin as a first argument [] while the first argument should be a function

*you are using only 1 argument as opposed to the 3 you are requiring

*x (++) ... makes no sense; you probably meant to use x:...

*in the first pattern match you are returning a list, while the return type of your function is not necessarily a list

I believe what you are looking for is this:
leftFolder :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
leftFolder _ c [] = c
leftFolder fn c (x:xs) = leftFolder fn (fn c x) xs

Live demo
That is: if the list is empty then we return the accumulated value in the second position. Otherwise we calculate the new accumulated value (fn c x) and then pass it as the second argument to our function while also forwarding fn and passing the rest of the list.


Debt collectors in London are plentiful. It is therefore important to know what to look for when choosing debt collectors to help recover a debt.
Gone are the days when the thought of debt collectors should bring up the image of a couple of threatening individuals carrying baseball bats. While this method might have been used in the past, it is now illegal and will do nothing to help the reputation of the creditor. A more advisable strategy for recovering money is to contact a debt collection service.
When choosing an agency, there are some key points to consider. The first is to find a debt collection service that is trustworthy. A good agency should be able to provide a list of quotes from former customers who can also be contacted.
Make sure the agency is able to suit specific needs and can follow the process through each stage, as far as legal action if it becomes necessary. It should employ a range of approaches, rather than be tied to only one method, such as just sending out letters. A good indication of a reliable debt collection service is a customisable plan and payment options. It is also a good sign if the agency does not ask for payment until at least part of the debt has been recovered. The pricing structure should be outlined clearly and all charges should be relevant to the work that needs to be carried out.
Ensure that the agency is licensed and has the appropriate permits needed to operate. Also, check if the individual agents used are properly certified. Another consideration is whether the agency is licensed to operate in the geographical areas where the debts are to be recovered.
Choose an agency that has a professional as well as ethical approach and does not resort to aggressive or illegal techniques. A commitment should also be offered for regular updates to be provided on all cases that are ongoing.
