Chayn is a crowdsourced online platform empowering women facing domestic abuse to fight back.
Chelsea tried to leave her abusive, drug-addict boyfriend three times in their four years of relationship. When he hit her, the 19-year-old would be too scared to report it to the police because of the involvement of drugs. Instead, she would go to her local doctor who just handed her an information leaflet. Until one day, she decided enough was enough and while her boyfriend was out to buy groceries, she used the 15-minute window to pack her bag and leave.
She went to a refugee register and told her story to a case officer, a much older woman, who didn't speak English like most people there. Feeling emotionally fragile, she was desperate for some help. No Wi-fi access, no proper help, left her feeling helpless and seeing no other option she ended up going back to her violent boyfriend. And so, the cycle continued.
This one of the stories from 'experience maps' designed by the project Tech vs Abuse, a project that four organisations including Chayn, an open-source platform that aims to help and empower women in vulnerable situations, have been working on to figure out how technology can help people experiencing domestic violence.
For people trapped in an abusive environment, they get only a few minutes to make life changing decisions and it's the support and information they get during that time which determines their course of action.
But often, even when they reach out for help, the complicated process of getting information leaves them exhausted and feeling helpless.
"It took me 15 clicks to find the information on a local refuge. If you only have five minutes alone, that's at least ten clicks too many," a domestic violence survivor told Chayn.
So what they need to break the cycle is quick, specific, and helpful information instead of the lengthy process that they come across in support portals. And that's what Chayn has been trying to do.
Through their chatbot, Little Window, which pops up as soon as someone goes on the site for help, the visitor get answers to specific questions. They also build crowdsourced guides such as "How to build your own domestic violence case without a lawyer" and Soul Medicine, a multi-lingual learning platform delivering micro-courses for women experiences abuse, with a focus on migrant and refugee women.
Founder of Chayn, Hera Hussain who was born in Glasgow, raised in Pakistan and living in the UK was very young when became aware of the structural barriers that harm women every day. Even though she was raised in a happy family, for her, it became clearer as the years went by that all families weren't the same.
Chayn happened after Hera went through a challenging personal experience of helping her two friends escape their abusive marriages. When the then 23-year-old realised that finding basic but important information for supporting people affected by domestic abuse is a cumbersome process, she knew it was something that had to change.
Being a technologist herself, she knew that if she wanted to provide quick support to more women, it had to be through technology.
Chayn also emphasises on the importance of an intersectional approach is important in addressing and understanding gender-based violence because other forms of discrimination such as racism xenophobia, class struggle, ableism, and homophobia are connected to sexism.
Keeping this in mind, last year launched the Supernova Project which focuses on addressing abuse within the LGBTQIA+. There is an acute shortage of resources for people in the LGBTQIA+ community who may be going through abuse.
"For many reasons, including fear of reprisals from their community and fear of being judged by mainstream domestic abuse services – they never come forward," Hera says. Chayn Italia became the first one to tackle this matter with the help of their LGBTIQ+ activists.
The journey hasn't been easy but it's the spirit of the survivors that makes it all worth for them. For instance, when they launched the Chayn India website in 2014 they got a sign-up from a woman who wanted to volunteer.
"The woman's response to a question in the form, "Why do you want to volunteer?" brought tears to my eyes," Hera recounts. She had written that for two years she looked through different blogs to try to find out to divorce her husband. But they were all written by men — all talking about how women misuse the penal code.
"It was only when I came across Chayn that I learned what my rights are under the law. I feel so empowered. You have no idea how this makes me feel. I want to help other women feel the same way — others who are stuck in the same situation," she wrote.
It's experiences like these that reassure Hera that she is on the right path. But as some are taking leaps in the movement of making gender equality a reality, there are still barriers, primarily due to stagnant redundant stereotypes and mindsets.
But for a permanent solution, those need to change.. There is a dire need to wriggle out of the tight grasp of patriarchy and move away from a society that reduces women to a submissive counterpart of a man.
Many believe 2017 was seen as a big year for feminism. With the #MeToo campaign, it felt like a much-needed movement was starting. But often along with the adrenaline rush comes the skepticism that this will again be one of those sudden jolts that will soon be buried in archives.
The one thing these movements are shouting from the top of the roofs is that the narrative needs to change. It's a long fight for everyone but we are in it together, for the better.

THE European Commission has granted conditional approval to the proposed merger between Sweden's Telia and Norway's Telenor after the two former telecoms monopolies agreed to far-reaching divestments and market-opening measures. The deal will create a telecoms power in the Nordic region to rival bigger operators in Germany, France and the UK which have become increasingly aggressive outside their home markets.
TOTALFINA has said it would be prepared to swap, but not sell, assets in order to address Commission concerns over its planned oil merger with Elf Aquitaine. The Commission launched a detailed probe into the proposed merger earlier this month amid concerns that it would create dominant positions in French motorway petrol stations, sales to supermarkets and the supply of jet fuels to Lyon and Toulouse airports.
GERMANY'S Thyssen Krupp has received EU clearance to purchase a unit of French steel firm Usinor. The Commission noted that the combined entity would not have more than a 20% share of any relevant market. It also said the company would compete with Japanese, Russian and American producers in various markets. Thyssen agreed in December, before its merger with Krupp, to buy 7% of Usinor Grain Orientes as part of the French firm's reorganisation.
THE Commission cleared plans by two units of Danish shipping and oil group AP Moeller to buy the international container business of Sea-Land Service from CSX of the US. Sea-Land Service's container business is to be merged with AP Moeller's Maersk line. EU regulators said they had analysed the merger's impact on various liner shipping trades in northern Europe and elsewhere and found that the new company would not have a 25% share in any of the relevant markets.
A PLANNED joint venture between Nestle's US-based ice cream and frozen desserts business and US-based Pillsbury has been approved by EU regulators. The Commission said the deal would not create or strengthen a dominant position.
THE European Court of First Instance has reduced a fine imposed by the Commission on Irish Sugar from 8.8 million euro to 7.8 million euro, but upheld the original decision that the company had abused its dominant market position. The Commission fined the company, Ireland's only sugar processor, on the grounds that its practice of offering selectively low prices unfairly impeded imports from France and Northern Ireland.
THE Commission has cleared plans by EMC to buy all of Data General. Regulators said that the combined company would not create or strengthen a dominant position in the markets for information technology services and disk storage systems.
THE Commission announced yesterday (13 October) that Portugal had one week to lift its veto of a deal giving Spanish bank BSCH a large stake in Portuguese financial group Champalimaud or face a legal challenge. The threat came after Lisbon vowed to take the Commission to court over the issue.
GERMAN carmaker Volkswagen insists its dealers in Italy did not systematically refuse to sell VW cars to Germans and Austrians trying to take advantage of the cheap lira in the early 1990s. The firm is appealing against a h102-million fine imposed by the Commission in 1998 after it found VW and its Audi subsidiary guilty of banning Italian dealers from selling to Germans and Austrians.

FULANI HERDSMEN KILL TWO POLICEMEN IN AN AMBUSH IN KADUNA
Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Thursday ambushed and killed two policemen along the Kagoro-Gidan Waya Road in Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The gunmen, it was gathered, shot two other policemen who are said to be critically wounded.
It was also learnt that two of the six policemen who were manning the checkpoint where the incident occurred however escaped unhurt.
The Kaduna Police Command confirmed the incident.
The command's Public Relations Officer, Aliyu Usman, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, said the policemen were ambushed and killed, while others were critically injured.
"Yes, gunmen killed two policemen. They were ambushed by the gunmen. Investigation into the matter has commenced," Usman said.
The gunmen, it was gathered, made away with two AK47 rifles belonging to the victims.
The officers killed were of the rank of sergeant and, according to a source, were deployed to the area to check the activities of bandits who have been raiding the communities of recent.
The source said the injured policemen were rushed to the General Hospital, Kafanchan
According to the source, "The incident occurred this morning around 9:30am. Two policemen were killed by gunmen along Kagoro-Gidan Waya Road. We strongly believe they are Fulani herdsmen that have been killing people in our communities," he said.
"In all, six policemen were at the checkpoint, two of them were killed and their AK47 rifles were taken away by the herdsmen.
"Others, about two of them, sustained serious injuries from gun shots, while the remaining two managed to escape unhurt.
"We took those that were wounded to the General Hospital Kafanchan. I understand that one of the dead policemen resumed duty here today. This is very sad and unfortunate."

3D printing on human skin may soon become a reality
Scientists have developed a "revolutionary" new 3D printing technique which could be used to print electronics directly on human skin.PTI | May 13, 2017, 07:13 IST
WASHINGTON: Scientists have developed a "revolutionary" new 3D printing technique which could be used to print electronics directly on human skin.
A one-of-a-kind 3D printer built at the University of Minnesota in the US can print touch sensors on a model hand.
"While we have not printed on human skin yet, we were able to print on the curved surface of a model hand using our technique," said Michael McAlpine, associate professor at University of Minnesota.
"We also interfaced a printed device with the skin and were surprised that the device was so sensitive that it could detect your pulse in real time," said McAlpine.
The ultimate wearable technology could eventually be used for health monitoring or by soldiers in the field to detect dangerous chemicals or explosives, researchers said.
McAlpine and his team made the unique sensing fabric with a one-of-a-kind 3D printer they built in the lab.
The multifunctional printer has four nozzles to print the various specialised "inks" that make up the layers of the device - a base layer of silicone, top and bottom electrodes made of a conducting ink, a coil-shaped pressure sensor, and a sacrificial layer that holds the top layer in place while it sets.
The supporting sacrificial layer is later washed away in the final manufacturing process.
All of the layers of "inks" used in the flexible sensors can set at room temperature. Conventional 3D printing using liquid plastic is too hot and too rigid to use on the skin.
These flexible 3D printed sensors can stretch up to three times their original size.
"This is a completely new way to approach 3D printing of electronics," said McAlpine, lead researcher on the study published in the journal Advanced Materials.
"We have a multifunctional printer that can print several layers to make these flexible sensory devices. This could take us into so many directions from health monitoring to energy harvesting to chemical sensing," McAlpine added.

Despite their complex poetry, the critical scholarship of Sylvia Plath and Adrienne Rich has been dominated by oversimplistic and reductive biographical and feminist readings that fail to engage with the nuanced texts. By contrast, this paper intends to examine these poets through a post-structuralist feminist framework. Not only does such a perspective challenge pre-existing critical assumptions of both poets' work, but it also draws attention to their key differences: their treatment of selfhood and history. In Ariel, Plath's rejection of a final, transcendent telos informs a poetics that challenges the romantic humanist view of the uniform subject predicated on logocentrism. Diving into the Wreck, by contrast, relies on a linear, teleological view of history and language in order to reify a stable subject necessary for liberation.

BATTLE OF THE SEXES (2017)
Greetings again from the darkness. At least two generations are too young to have experienced the 1973 media circus that was the tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. However, what matters is that the impact and social changes that began in earnest that night at the Astrodome are still being felt and evolving today. It might seem incredulous that the 29 year old top-ranked women's player emerging victorious against a 55 year old who played his last professional match 14 years prior would have an impact on anything other than TV rankings, but in fact, it caused a significant societal shift.
Real life married couple and co-directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris are well known for their collaborations on iconic music videos and TV commercials, and since joining the movie world have brought us LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and RUBY SPARKS. Their talent for visual presentation is on display here in both the tennis scenes and the more intimate character moments. And, oh my, there are some intimate moments thanks to the script from Oscar winning screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE). There is no shying away from Ms. King's sexual confusion/awareness/preferences.
Emma Stone (Oscar winner for LA LA LAND) stars as tennis legend Billie Jean King and manages to convey three different sides: the ultra-competitor, the champion for equal rights, and the married woman coming to grips with her sexual identity. Steve Carell captures the essence and mannerisms of Bobby Riggs, the former tennis champ, floundering in middle-age and always on the lookout for his next hustle or gambling opportunity. Surprisingly, only a minor portion of the film deals with the actual tennis match. Instead, the film dives into the personal lives of these two polar opposite personalities, each with their own challenges and issues.
Despite the fun and outrageousness that the Riggs character delivers, the film might have been better served focusing even more on Ms. King. While she needed the "villain", it was really her dedication to the cause and strength amidst the backlash that made the difference … along with her court skills. Watching her stand tall in confrontations with the chauvinistic and powerful Jack Kramer (Bill Pullman) is something to behold. Again, those that weren't around might not believe some of the outrageous claims by the men of the times.
Supporting work comes from Andrea Riseborough as the all-important Marilyn, who turns Billie Jean away from her husband Larry (Austin Stowell), Sarah Silverman as promoter Gladys Heldman, Natalie Morales as Rosie Casales, Alan Cumming as the colorful clothes designer, an underutilized Elisabeth Shue as Riggs' wife, Fred Armisen as Rheo Blair – Riggs' partner in the herbs and vitamins game, and Lewis Pullman (Bill's real life son) as Riggs' son, Larry. We are even treated to a Bob Stephenson sighting as the Sugar Daddy PR guy at the match.
This was the era when the Vietnam War was winding down, the Watergate scandal was raging, outside "the norm" sexual preferences were kept in the closet, prize money for men's tennis was 8-10 times that of women, and the overall respect for women and their sports was excruciatingly misguided. Listening to Howard Cosell speak so condescendingly during the national broadcast merely confirms the inequity. Of course, these same issues are discussed and debated even today, as society evolution is often slow, even when moving in the right direction. The film might not add much to today's cause, but it reinforces the early legacy of Billie Jean King as a difference-maker.

Hi David😊
I was around at this time to witness this circus. So, I wasn't to eager to see the movie; however, I always wondered about what was really happening behind the headlines. I look forward to seeing this one, after reading your review. 👏👏👏
Katrina, I had the same initial concern, but I found my perceptions were quite different now that I'm "a few" years older.

I suspect that over 80% of today's youth find all of their information (school work, sports, weather, news, music,) on the internet. As digital services and technologies become more prevalent and complex, students need the skills and confidence to navigate the learning environment and interpret the range and qualify of information available on line.
My daughter has cortical visual impairment and is challenged to process a 2 dimensional photo. I think many of us with different learning and processing styles also have an inability to mentally transfer 2D pictures into 3D objects. I learned of several studies and resources, including ChemSense, software that students can use to create animations. This link http://chemsense.sri.com/classroom/examples/hanmeltingice.mov shows an example of this (sorry – it wouldn't let me embed the video without purchasing it as a movie).

I think you stated this very well." As digital services and technologies become more prevalent and complex, students need the skills and confidence to navigate the learning environment and interpret the range and qualify of information available on line. This is a huge task for teachers of students with disabilities. We need to provide teachable moments throughout our day to help teach our kids how to successfully navigate and use all of the information available now through digital media.
That is very correct we have to keep up with technology.

All These Beautiful Strangers – Elizabeth Klehfoth
This is a pre publication proof courtesy of Netgalley. The book will be published in July 2018.
Charlie Calloway is many things. She is a studious daughter of the rich and powerful Alisdair Calloway, of the Calloway Group. She's best friends with Drew, her room mate at an exclusive boarding school, she is an initiate for the extremely secretive and elitist A's. She is the daughter of Grace Calloway, a woman who married way above her and then disappeared, leaving her two young daughters behind. She's good at poker and doesn't date. She keeps herself to herself and is described by her counsellor as a narcissist with a borderline personality disorder.
Until she is contacted by her uncle who has found some photos hidden at the family lake house that imply that there is more to her mothers disappearance then it was thought. Charlie goes back to visit her mother's family and starts investigating what happened. She is also trying to pass the three tests to make sure that she gets a place in the A's, if it's discovered she will be expelled immediately. As the story unravels Charlie becomes more convinced that something has happened to her mother. She enlists the help of her old friend Greyson, while fending off the charms of Dalton, the school player. The book is written in a split narrative so we also hear from her mother and her father just before she disappeared. Her father's brother, Uncle Teddy is also in the mix.
There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed. I thought that the storyline was good, the character of Charlie could have been a bit more fleshed out but I kind of got where she was going. The split narrative was confusing because we knew more about what was going on then Charlie, which led to some jumping around. She was also quite happy to believe everything everyone told her and didn't really question stuff until afterwards, which was frustrating. Some bits tied up at the end but it was all a little too neat. There was also a big question mark over one of the main characters which was never fully explained. It may be because I had a proof copy and the final version will be a clearer but, the narration was jumpy and a little annoying.
I think that if the book was just about the disappearance, or just about the school initiation (there is a link to an old suicide that turns out to be connected to her mother and father) then it would have been easier to follow, but it was all a bit too convoluted. Well written and enjoyable if you stick with it.

The Rebuilding Our Schools Initiative and the $147 million referendum proposed by Toms River Regional Schools was approved yesterday by voters from Toms River, South Toms River, Pine Beach, and Beachwood, with a final tally of 7,513 "yes" votes (58.26 percent) to 5,383 "no," a difference of 2,130 votes.
The Rebuilding Our Schools Initiative designed by district leaders and supported by the school board began with a comprehensive facilities assessment that revealed some $165 million in necessary repairs and upgrades for the district's 23 buildings. In 2017 the district joined the Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP), a cost-neutral project which has already begun and which will cover $17.8 million in upgrades with no tax impact. As part of the proposal, and provided it was approved by voters, the state will cover an additional $47 million.
The full list of projects the referendum will address are available on this district's Rebuilding Our Schools Initiative webpage. While posting comprehensive information to its site-- including a tax calculator and presentation slides-- district leaders made extensive efforts to relay facts about the referendum, including 22 public meetings at school sites; radio show appearances; a Facebook Live event hosted by Toms River Patch; and helping to orchestrate a series of informative videos produced by TRSTV featuring students and famous graduates like Todd Frazier and Frankie Edgar.
School board members, district leaders and administrators, and a handful of vocal supporters convened at Linda's Pizza in Toms River last night to monitor voting results. Arranged by Board President Joseph Nardini, the get together was ultimately cause for celebration when the results became official before 10 p.m.
The district will continue to update its progress on various projects through the Rebuilding Our Schools Initiative webpage and through other communication channels. A dedicated email, referendum@trschools.com, remains active for any residents with additional questions about the referendum and its associated projects.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is coming up — but a couple of familiar faces won't be there this time around.
After walking 17 shows for the lingerie brand, Alessandra Ambrosio is hanging up her wings.
The 36-year-old supermodel confirmed after 2017's show that she had walked her last VS runway.
"Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have been working for this amazing brand that inspires me and women all over the world. In my wildest dreams, I would have never imagined doing 17 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows," she said.
Ambrosio made the decision to put her VS days behind her so that she could put more attention into her swimsuit line, Ale by Alessandra, and focus on building an acting career.
Also leaving the runway behind this year is Lily Aldridge. The 32-year-old is pregnant with her second child, so she will not be making a runway appearance this time around.

We often hope to outrun our growing pains, this notion of actualizing, of achieving a place where we will understand and no longer need to wrestle through our daily lives. The falsity that wisdom is stable and being good is doing things right.
We keep growing. We talk to ourselves, and I wonder who that other is- the one we are asking the questions to, or defending ourselves against, or silencing. We are not stable beings with stable answers, I cannot brainstorm a single thing that is. So we must keep learning, keep walking forward, keep being reintroduced to our new self, the one that's taking in humanity, the one that knows wisdom is flexible and forgiving, the bend of a snakes back. We must be courageous to love ourselves, and be brave to stand up for others. We matter, our thoughts and bodies matter, our ideas and neighbors and earth matters. And as long as things matter, then we must continue to look for ourselves, and see how to grow next, one heartbeat at a time.

The tenderness of that feeling. Of being in the wrong. Of being human and thus simple and complex. Of being something who grows slowly and compares oneself to others. Of being made of skin and bone and guts and guts and guts. The heart is just a piece, because remorse is felt in everything. —.
To be the other. The receiver of injury, the holder of a long built trust grown tenderly and seasonally like a berry, so delicious to taste but easy to bruise. To be the giver of forgiveness and welcomer of human mess. The heart is just here: available, confused. —.
We hold each other close. It cannot change without a bend. Together it's a kind of delicate sharing and holding of parts and bits and information with delicacy, floating just above the known.

Disability doesn't mean inability. In Dante, Dis is the world of Shadow and Reflection. Disability is then rather, able through shadow and reflection. (Kevin Kling) When I reflect on my body and the shadows it's kissed, I think of grass; a thin thing, mowed down over and over from disease and trauma. I like it because it is frail and common, yet incredibly resilient. Grass is the only plant that can be taken down to it's roots repeatedly and with intense frequency and still thrive. I think on all of the times I've been broken down to square one: losing my health, my loved ones, or my knowledge of how things work. The frequency in which everything I know has been obliterated, and yet through it all I somehow come back, feels mysterious and strong. My body, though in pain, has a kind of wisdom and is teaching me to be present. I have some blunt edges now, but they feel like scars of resilience. And so I put this knowledge down. These aren't skeletons because skeletons are cool (which they are!), they are they only way I know how to fully depict my dis-abled experience.

FAI Surgery ONE YEAR Recovery Update: Into Unknown Territory!
Turns out the very next day was my one year anniversary so I headed up into the mountains to celebrate by finally running my friend El's patented Humpty Hump run stringing together two peaks behind the University of Utah – VanCott and Mt. Wire – for a total of 10 miles and over 3,600 feet of gain.
My last three winters have been consumed by hip surgeries, crutching, and nearly endless rehabilitation that I almost don't know what to do with myself now that the evenings are getting darker and the snow is beginning to fall. Heck I just did squats, lunges, and crabwalks around my living room listening to audiobooks just for old times' sake.
Although I am excited for winter and my seemingly mobile future, it is almost like I have gotten into a comfortable routine with surgeries and rehab that I, GASP, don't know what to do with myself right now. I feel restless and a little uncertain.
Maybe I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop (although I don't really have any shoes left) or maybe it is a little hard to accept that all this hip drama is behind me or perhaps this is just my first bond with the new life I am going into as Mr. Berry suggests above. All I know it has been one long haul.
FAI Surgery #1 – December 9, 2011: Left hip femoroplasty, acetabuloplasty, labral repair, and iliopsoas tendon release.
Capsular Repair – January 17, 2013: Left hip capsular repair (tightening of iliofemoral ligament) along with some cartilage debridement and scar tissue removal.
FAI Surgery #2 – November 14, 2013: Right hip femoroplasty and capsular repair (tightening of iliofemoral ligament).
For so long I defined myself as "bad hip" girl so it is a little bit of a switch to define myself as something else. They call crutches a crutch for a reason – "anything that serves as a temporary and often inappropriate support, supplement, or substitute; prop." And I would say my winters of crutching were a totally inappropriate substitute for the life I've wanted to live!
Without crutches, I have no excuse for not being awesome. There is really no limit to what I can do right now. I am making BIG plans for 2015 and heading into some previously uncharted territory which is equally exciting as it is frightening – like all good change usually is!

Spending on Apple and Google App Stores Grows 25%
Written by Luke Smith
2nd September 2021 3rd September 2021
Mobile app analytics company Sensor Tower has published insights into consumer spending habits across the two major marketplaces.
During the first half of 2021, spending on the iOS Store was more than thee-quarters higher than on the Google Play Store. The former received $41.5 billion during the six-month period, compared to $23.4 billion from the latter.
Spending on the iOS Store represents a 22% growth from the same period last year. Cumulatively, the two platforms recorded an increase of almost 25%.
However, while the App Store commands nearly double the spend in the market, the Google Play Store is growing at a faster rate. The year-on-year increase for the Android marketplace was approximately 30%.
Tinder maintained its position amongst the top three grossing mobile apps worldwide, only surpassed by YouTube and TikTok.
The South Korean parliament has just passed a bill that would stop Apple and Google from forcing developers to use their internal payment systems and paying the 30% commission rates.
Further, Apple updated its policies last week and now permits developers to email users to let them know that alternative payment options are available.
Sensor Tower also found that the average smartphone user engaged with 46 different apps per month in the first half of 2021. This is two higher than last year, but two fewer than the peak in Q2 of 2020 caused by the pandemic and resulting lockdown restrictions.

I took Bailey to the park yesterday to enjoy this great spring-like weather we have been having. We don't normally go to this park so it was a change from our usual outing. We were the only two at the playground for a few minutes before two other mothers arrived separately. One had two young children, the other had what looked to be a three-year old boy.
The playground at this park has a slide with vertical 8 foot ladder. I had been helping Bailey climb it before the other kids got there. And by help, I mean spotting her to make sure she didn't fall while telling her she didn't need my help. She got the hang of it quickly before deciding she would rather play on some of the other equipment.
A few minutes later the three-year old boy started climbing the ladder. He got about halfway up and then got scared. His mom encouraged him to keep going but she had to lift him off. Bailey watched what happened then decided it was time climb it herself. She ran past the boy and climbed straight up the ladder.
The mother pointed to her and said, "See? She isn't afraid." Yep, she made me proud. These two pictures were from her next trip up the ladder. Pretty good for a being just past two.
Bailey at the bottom of the ladder.
In Decemeber I predicted that global cooling will be viewed as more proof of global warming.
The U.K.'s Telegraph didn't let me down with their headline yesterday that read, "Snow is consistent with global warming, say scientists." This headline is in response to a week that saw the biggest snowfall in London since the 1960's.
But despite this extreme weather, scientists say that the current cold snap does not mean that climate change is going into reverse. In fact, the surprise with which we have greeted the extreme conditions only reinforces how our climate has changed over the years.
The globe is not warming, at least not in ways outside of natural variations that have taken place for millennia. That is why the alarmists have changed terms from "global warming" to "climate change." That way they can continue shout alarms and call for government control no matter which way the weather turns.

Home News Update: 21 new COVID cases reported Thursday
Update: 21 new COVID cases reported Thursday
Three Windemere employees test positive for COVID-19.

Hospital officials say 212 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to staff. — Jeremy Driesen
Updated Dec. 31 @ 5 pm
After several days of low COVID case numbers, the Martha's Vineyard boards of health reported 21 new cases of COVID-19 Thursday.
The hospital reported 19 of those new cases. Since March, the hospital has conducted a total of 10,244 tests. Of those, 380 have come back positive, 9,862 negative, and two are pending results. The hospital has had one patient hospitalized with COVID-19 in the past week, but that patient has been released and returned home in good condition.
The other two cases were reported by TestMV. The asymptomatic testing site has conducted 28,406 tests since June as of Thursday. Of those, 164 have tested positive, 26,665 negative, 1,577 are pending results.
The town of Aquinnah has also conducted its own tests. In total, the town has conducted 355 tests, of which zero have come back positive, 348 negative, and seven pending results.
Of the Thursday's new cases seven are females and 14 are males. The new cases consist of seven people in their 20s, four in their 70s, three in their 30s, three in their 40s, two are in their 50s, one younger than 20, and one in their 60s.
Of the 533 confirmed cases, 262 are female and 244 are male. Of those, 134 are in their 30s, 93 are in their 20s, 77 are in their 50s, 78 are in their 40s, 84 are younger than 20, 43 are in their 60s, and 25 are older than 70.
There are 37 probable cases that have been reported since March — 18 females and 19 males. Of those, 24 received positive antibody tests, and 13 have been symptomatically diagnosed. There are seven in their 60s, seven in their 20s, six in their 50s, seven in their 40s, four younger than 20, three older than 70, and three in their 30s.
Individuals may be tested more than once at the hospital and TestMV to confirm illness, or to be released from isolation. This sometimes results in a discrepancy between the number of positive individuals and the number of positive tests reported.
Vaccine rollout continues for hospital workers
The vaccination program is running smoothly at Martha's Vineyard Hospital, with more than 200 of its employees receiving the first dose this month.
Chief nurse and chief operating officer Claire Seguin said the hospital has received doses of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, according to a recording of her press briefing Wednesday. The hospital administered its first vaccines to hospital staff two weeks ago, and since then has vaccinated 212 staff members with the first dose.
Of those employees, 85 received the Pfizer vaccine and 127 received the Moderna vaccine. The hospital is working with its parent company, Mass General Brigham, to coordinate vaccine rollout based on supply and Massachusetts Department of Public Health guidance.
"We expect to give all of our frontline staff, those in contact with COVID-positive patients, the first dose of the vaccine by sometime later in January," Seguin said. "From there we will branch out to other staff members who are not in direct contact with patients, but are working in another area of the hospital."
Seguin added there have been a few reports of "mild reactions" to the vaccine, and one employee missed a day of work as a result of the vaccine. The employee, who has returned to work, was experiencing "malaise," which Seguin said typically happens at the 24- to 30-hour mark after getting the vaccine.
Hospital CEO Denise Schepici said vaccines won't be available to the general public until "springtime." She thanked Seguin for her efforts and the staff's efforts for the vaccine rollout. "This is such a hopeful sign of progress, but we're not out of the woods yet. So again we keep reminding people to take all of the precautions," Schepici said.
Schepici again stressed the importance of wearing a mask, social distancing, and frequent hand washing.
The hospital is also keeping a close eye on the number of COVID-19 cases on Martha's Vineyard, due to the concern both on the Island and across the country with a potential spike of cases after the holidays.
Schepici also reported three Windemere employees tested positive for COVID-19 in the last week. The employees, who were all in administrative positions, did not have any direct patient care responsibilities with Windemere residents, according to Schepici. The hospital conducted additional testing of staff and residents, and none have tested positive.
Earlier this month, two employees tested positive for COVID-19, but no residents tested positive for the virus.
A federal vaccination program for all Windemere staff and residents will begin on Jan. 12 for the first dose and Feb. 2 for the second dose. A team from CVS will travel to the Island to administer the vaccine for the program.
There were seven new cases of COVID-19 reported Wednesday, all from the hospital.
Since March, there have been 512 cases of COVID-19 reported on Martha's Vineyard. The vast majority of those cases were reported in the past two months, when the Island's first cluster of cases was linked to a wedding in October. Since then, the Island has seen 443 cases of COVID-19 — four and half times the 89 cases reported on the Island between when testing began in March and Oct. 25.
In addition to the wedding cluster, which reported eight cases, clusters at Cronig's Market with 19 cases and a Bible study group with 11 cases have also been reported. Only 40 of the Island's 505 confirmed cases are still being followed by public health officials. Each of those active cases were reported between Dec. 6 and Dec. 26.
At the state level, Gov. Charlie Baker announced that Massachusetts is on track to receive 300,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of the year.
Speaking on getting the vaccine, Baker said he will not be "cutting the line."
"The lieutenant governor and I believe that while we work a lot we are not, from our point of view, worthy of 'cutting the line,'" Baker said. "I don't understand why a lot of people who cut the line cut it. I just don't. It doesn't make sense to me and I think it's inconsistent with the message we've all tried to send on this…there are some people who are at a far greater risk from a health point of view than others and they really ought to be prioritized."
Reflecting on the past year, Baker said COVID-19 has made 2020 one of the worst years on record.
"2020 at least in my lifetime is like no other year I can remember," Baker said. "If you wanted to put together a virus that was as destructive physically, emotionally, and spiritually as it possibly could be, it would look like COVID-19," Baker said. "It would be asymptomatic for a lot of people so they could spread it to others without knowing they were doing it and at the same time convince a whole bunch of people that it's really not that bad and at the same time be an absolute murderous infection for many other people who were on the other end of this spectrum."
On Thursday, the state reported a significant rise over the past week in new cases, deaths, and active cases. There were 6,887 new cases reported across Massachusetts, with a 8.60 percent positivity rate, and an estimated 80,359 active cases. There were 81 new deaths—a day after the state reported 118 new deaths, for a total of 12,423 COVID-19 deaths since March. The average age of those dead is 81.
Ellen Reynolds says:
Are other Frontline workers getting vaccinated? EMT'S . Police and Fire? Medical and mental health clinics? Or just the hospital?
Joe Dancer says:
I think it's great that they're is a vaccine available for Hospital employees but i worry because it seems like they are being used as lab rats. why is the vaccine not being distributed to the public? what is the hold up?
Jessica Burnham says:
Have you watched any news at all?
Peter Palches says:
Ellen Reynolds asks good questions. I also wonder about who is going to organize the distribution plan. How will each person know when it's his or her turn? Is anyone taking responsibilty for the overall process?
Jacqueline Mendez-Diez says:
Operation Slow-Poke Speed, hurry-up-and-wait. Let's hope that under the Biden Administration, the government manages vaccine distribution more quickly and efficiently than the current lame duck and all his empty, useless, ignorant, and unfulfilled promises of his administration. One in one thousand Americans have died of covid-19, over 343,000 Americans. Covid will not "just disappear".
Chris Riger says:
I am praying that MVSchools make the hard decisions necessary to keep MVTeachers, children and parents As Safe As Possible – NOW – when the risk is most severe. And that our teachers have a decisive individual voice, as well as collective voice, in that decision making process.
Like medical care and public health infrastructure, education and school culture must be emancipated from the dictates of economic growth for its own sake. Where universal personal and public health, youth care and education are the top economic priorities – and our students, teachers, staff, administrators and parents get the full support they deserve – our students will be able to catch up.

We introduced our new test system and methodology in How We Test Graphics Cards. If you'd like more detail about our general approach, check that piece out. Specifically, for this review, we split testing between our U.S. (performance) and German (power, acoustics, thermal) labs.
Because the Radeon RX 550 is distinctly entry-level, we had to re-think our approach to measuring its performance. Instead of using a high-end platform to alleviate platform-imposed bottlenecks, we pulled Core i3-6320s from our library of processors and yanked half of the DDR4 memory out of our MSI motherboard.
We also wanted to use the Core i3's HD Graphics 530 engine (driver version 15.45.16.4627) as our performance baseline. After all, the folks shopping for $80 graphics cards are typically suffering with integrated solutions. AMD's modern Radeon RX 460 and older Radeon R7 260X (driver version 17.4.3) join the comparison for a bit of context, showing what you can expect after adding a discrete GPU.

Federation to rule the West
The Federation Trail from Melbourne to Werribee will be rebuilt with several outstanding new bridges across major arterial roads.
The upgrade will make the popular trail much safer, and remove the lengthy wait sometimes required to get across the busy roads.
Through an area experiencing rapid population growth, and the proposed development of new employment precincts, the upgrade will help attract more locals into active commuting and healthy recreational riding.
The trail, which mostly runs along the route of the historic former outfall sewer, was one of Victoria's first major bike infrastructure projects, certainly deserves upgrading to contemporary standards.
The new bridges will be provided as part of the State Government's Western Roads Upgrade project, a $1.8 billion boost to eight arterials needed to cope with the phenomenal growth in Melbourne's West.
The Western Roads Upgrade will deliver a combination of road widening, duplications and intersection upgrades including:
Dunnings Road and Palmers Road, Point Cook Road to Princes Freeway, Point Cook
Palmers Road, Princes Freeway to Western Freeway, Truganina
Derrimut Road, Sayers Road to Dohertys Road, Tarneit
Leakes Road, Fitzgerald Road to Derrimut Road, Truganina
Dohertys Road, Fitzgerald Road to Grieve Parade, Laverton North
Dohertys Road Foundation Road to Palmers Road, Truganina
Forsyth Road/Princes Freeway, Hoppers Crossing
Duncans Road/Princes Freeway interchange, Werribee/Werribee South
The arterial upgrades will also include off-road bike infrastructure.
In an Australian-first, the public-private partnership will also extend to road maintenance – ensuring more than 260 kilometres of the existing arterial road network in the western suburbs, and the Federation Trail, is maintained over the next two decades.
While this work is going on at the Western end of the Federation Trail, The West Gate Tunnel project will be completing the trail at the eastern end where is reaches the city under the West Gate Bridge.
Victorian Treasurer and Member for Werribee, Tim Pallas, said: "The west is booming, growing faster than almost any other part of Australia – that's why we're investing in these critical upgrades to keep our community and our economy moving."
Netflow consortium has been selected as the preferred tenderer, and subject to final negotiations, work will begin next year and be completed in 2021.
The Netflow consortium is a Cintra and Plenary joint venture – as project sponsor, with WBHO Infrastructure as design and construction lead, and Ferrovial Services companies as services contractor.

c0ojtun657 is using Hatena Blog. Would you like to try it too?


This tutorial will show you how to make an "in-and-out" style paracord bracelet. Until I figure this out this is not really the start...go to step 1 for the start to show you how the inner part is made.
its kind of hard, honestly.
I had trouble with this too, I am new to instructables - but if you click the picture, and then click it again when it comes up isolated, it takes you to an individual step. Would be nice to see them all on the same page, and you probably can, but I haven't figured it out.
Great instructable, like having the knot and loop closure rather than the plastic clip kind. My finger strength is not what it used to be. Your pics are great.
Love this bracelet-thanks! It took me a while to get the lanyard knot (also called a boatswain's whistle knot) down but found the step-by-step guide found at: http://www.ropeworks.biz/reader/boatswai.pdf to be very helpful.
Thank you for the link. You saved me time finding it!
that is good...I have a youtube instruct on a part 2 video of making a chain sinnet bracelet if you just look for ghosthonda on there as well.
That was a great idea using a soldering iron to melt the end! I usually use a lighter and try to press it down and hope it sticks. The iron melts the end and the part that you want it to stick to.
can i use two colors?
Yes...just take two colors and do half the length for each one. Then take each cord and melt one end of each cord to the other. It should look like the pic below when done. Sorry if this is hard to follow...can't explain it too well.
How do you combine the colors ? Do you melt two different colors like you do when doing a dual tone cobra bracelet ?
Just made a bracelet to try it and did the knot and loop style with the core part(knot and loop strand) as black; then I started at the loop end with a cobra stitch and then started doing what the pic shows above. when I got to the knot end I did one more cobra stitch and melted the ends after cutting close.
yes, you can...actually three if you want...one for the core where the loop and knot one is and then two more for the weave...you would do every other weave with the second color. looks really nice too. have a pic of it but can't post is quite yet since my other computer is down right now.

I always try to seize the moment, especially when it spells t-r-a-v-e-l.
No one knows how long one stays in one place or how long a place stays for us. Take two of my dream destinations for example: Bohol and Samar. Natural calamities and manmade disasters have destroyed some attractions in these places. But here in Riyadh, the government is busy restoring and developing places that were neglected or taken for granted. I just hope we'll stay a little longer to enjoy these places.
I'm not sure how long we will be allowed to work here because labor laws are being drafted – and hopefully cancelled – regarding the maximum stay of expats here. For that and my love for travel, I decided to squeeze the most out of our time here and explore this wonderful city whenever we can.
Together with some friends, our family went to Prince Sattam Park one late Friday afternoon. The Wadi Namar Dam and the lake created from it is the main attraction of the park.
There are some things that happen in life when you least expect them.
Just last week, our laptop fell accidentally and the result was something that taught me a lesson on file back ups: all the files and the pictures that I've saved in the hard drive were damaged. Most of the pictures were from my DSLR and most were trips to places here in Riyadh. Sigh. Next time, I would be mindful of the pictures I've taken and save them in my Dropbox account.
It's a good thing that I went to those places with friends. They're friends who like to photograph a lot, too. I've also some friends who've gone to those places either ahead of us or after we've informed them about the beauty of those sites. And the friends they brought with them like taking pictures, too! So although I lost most of my precious photos, I've some friends who lent me theirs to post here. The benefits of having friends, huh?
A famous quote says, "When in Rome, do what the Romans do." But when you're in Al Khobar, and you have a car and a little more time to spare, do what we did: Go to the King Fahd Causeway's Border Station before heading home.
It was our second time there. The first time was when we passed by there after our short stay in Al Khobar during Ramadan of 2011. We were barely a week here in Saudi Arabia, haven't gone to one of Riyadh's famous attractions - except in Carrefour to buy groceries, and didn't even know that this causeway exists. We came with a bigger group back then and we were pressed for time so I wasn't able to take decent pictures.
Fast forward to 2013, we checked out of Jinan Suites after lunch and on the way to Dammam, we passed by the Corniche again and noticed that it's as beautiful as it was at night. I was tempted to ask Fred to stop over but I know we didn't have enough time.


The goal is to increase the rate at which you and your team are able to execute the right ideas. If you can do that, you'll not only catch up (if you're behind) to the competition, but you will eventually surpass. Make sure your objective (direction) is sound and then your only major roadblock is ego. Overcome that and your team will fly.


In this highly fast-paced and competitive world, an individual needs to acquire each and every possible opportunity to distinguish himself or herself from the competition in the job market. This is quite true for the IT job market as well, as IT students and professionals seek accredited certifications to boost their profile. CompTIA has been in the game of conducting and providing certifications for decades now, and one of it's most sought out certifications is the CompTIA A+ certification which is distributed into two segments named CompTIA A+ 901 and CompTIA A+ 902. This certification certifies the IT specialist skill of handling a variety of systems, networks and servers, along with showing that the certification holder is now technically sound and ready for the professional world. The CompTIA A+ 901 primarily covers PC hardware, mobile device hardware and networking and troubleshooting hardware while the CompTIA A+ 902 is based on operating and setting up operating systems like Windows, and also consists of security and cloud computing. The CompTIA A+ certification is ideal for technical support and IT operational roles, and in this article, we will be discussing a study guide, which will act as a proper approach for the certification examination.
Any student should start his or her studies with the fundamentals, and for this examination, it is essential to get the fundamentals related to hardware and operating systems right. Computer System components, device connections and interfaces and storage devices are few of the fundamentals related to hardware, which would be tested in CompTIA A+ 901, while personal computer operating systems, windows operating systems and security, control panel and also command line tools are the fundamentals falling under the umbrella of operating system, tested in the CompTIA A+ 902 test.
Moving on, an important part of the hardware aspect and an important element of the study guide is understanding the operational procedures, which includes the basic maintenance tools, electrical and environment safety, handling materials and also ensuring a professional usage backed with effective communication.
Furthermore, what any student cannot omit from his or her study plan is extensively going through peripheral components, which involve the installation and configuration of display devices, input devices, expansion cards and multimedia devices. These devices are also referred to as monitors, speakers, keyboards and hard disks. Linked with this is the internal system configuration, which determines the actual operational capability and capacity of a system. Therefore, it is essential to know how to manage these system components consisting of motherboards, CPUs and Cooling systems, power supplies, RAM types and features and system BIOS.
Must Read: Why Study Biomedical Science?
After all of the above-mentioned devices have been installed along with all the core internal system components, it is time to finally install and configure the operating system. Installing an operating system such as Windows is perhaps one of the most asked tasks from any IT specialist, that is why the study guide consists of implementing virtualization, upgrading the windows after installation and also doing the windows preventative maintenance. Moreover, linked with configuration is creating and customizing client environment based on the client's requirements or if there are no special requirements then using the standardized environments.
A significant part of the CompTIA A+ 901 and CompTIA A+ 902 is understanding the networking technologies associated with the systems. In your CompTIA training, it is essential to include the physical network connections, TCP/IP and networking connectivity. Additionally ports and protocols, setting up and configuring windows networking and also utilizing the various networking tools also falls in the category of networking technologies. Students should also be well aware of how to install, configure and maintain SOHO networks and optimize and regulate it's security. Networking is a core component of CompTIA certifications and CompTIA trainings, and so any potential IT specialist should get his or her basics perfected through these certifications so that they can easily develop upon these skills for further advanced components and applications of networking.
On the go usage of computing is rising on a rapid pace, because of which this study guide also includes dealing with specific requirements and issues of laptops and mobile devices as well. As a student you must understand a laptop's hardware and component along with installing and configuring the hardware components. Configuration of mobile devices is also a significant requirement of the examination.
Furthermore, students are required to extensively prepare for the troubleshooting of hardware components as well as troubleshooting system-wide issues. This phase of your preparation would deal with understanding the theory behind troubleshooting, then putting that to the practical test by troubleshooting video and display devices along with laptops and printers. You should also be able to troubleshoot hard drives and RAID arrays and various system components as well. Knowing how to navigate yourself through the constantly popping up issues throughout the systems in any organization is one of the most essential tasks of a system and IT specialist, therefore one should make sure to effectively prepare for it. The CompTIA A+ 902 segment specifically also deals with troubleshooting operating systems, wired and wireless networks and the commonly occurring security issues.
Finally, the last component of the study guide for your CompTIA training consist of dealing with system security. This component deals with security fundamentals and theory which is then backed up by practical implementation by ensuring effective security protection measures have been installed and configured within the system along with ensuring the security of the workplace. The number of internal and external threats to any system has been increasing dramatically, because of which any IT specialist should know how to deal with those threats and implement measures which not only prevents the data from being corrupted or stolen but also ensures that the entire system consisting of the hardware and software components work smoothly and efficiently.
So this was an exhaustive study guide which would definitely help you in nailing your CompTIA A+ 901 and CompTIA A+ 902 examinations.

Incentives for complex care keep other patients from finding physicians: doctor
Dr. Peter Vizsolyi says the problem is not with physicians — to whom he's grateful for taking some of his patients — "it's the system."
Cindy E. Harnett Aug 7, 2022 10:05 AM
The Cook and Quadra Medical Clinic building in Saanich closed in June after the property was sold. DARREN STONE, TIMES COLONIST
Retiring physician Dr. Peter Vizsolyi says monetary incentives for physicians to care for complex care patients are making it harder for him to find care for the rest.
Vizsolyi, who closed his Cook and Quadra Medical Clinic in Saanich in June after the building was sold, had about 1,200 patients, 800 of whom he saw in the past year. He has been able to find new doctors for just 270 of them — 120 complex care patients and 150 who have single diagnosis that would come with an extra incentive fee.
"[The new doctors] will say 'I will consider taking your chronic complex care patients' or 'I will consider taking your diabetics' or 'I will consider taking your hypertensives,' " said Vizsolyi, 66.
"But they're not going to take your healthy patient who comes in once a year or who has coronary artery disease who also needs followup."
Vizsolyi said the problem is not the physicians — to whom he's grateful for taking some of his patients — "it's the system."
Physicians in family practice paying up to $100,000 in overhead need to find ways to pay for that, said Vizsolyi.
A doctor sees an annual incentive of about $315 a year for a chronic complex care patient — someone with two or more diseases such as chronic neurodegenerative disorder and heart failure. For a single diagnosis such as chronic diabetes care, it is $125; for hypertension chronic care, $50.
The incentives were originally put in place to account for the added time physicians need to spend with chronic complex care patients. Over time, they have had unintended consequences, Vizsolyi said, as there's no monetary incentive for physicians to take on patients who fall outside the Health Ministry established definitions
"I have a 30-year-old patient who has had a lymphoma who's in complete remission, she needs to be seen once a year for follow up," he said.
"I have breast cancer patients who need to be seen for breast exam every six months. These people don't fit these categories, but they have high needs, right? And then there are people who are relatively healthy who should have preventive care."
Camille Currie, who founded the B.C. Health Care Matters advocacy group, said because being considered "complex care" requires patients to have two of a limited number of conditions, "many individuals are in fact living with complex needs but do not fit under the government's definition."
People with just one of the following conditions, for example — history of heart attack, a heart rhythm condition, a pacemaker, history of stroke, a neuromuscular disease or diabetes — all are left at risk of a family doctor not wanting to take them on because they won't be compensated for the longer appointments they are likely to require, Currie said.
Compensating doctors for their time "is the only way to create an equitable system," she said.
MLA David Eby, considered the front runner to replace John Horgan as the B.C. NDP leader and premier, told the Times Colonist Friday that he would boost incentives to encourage physicians to practise in the community as family doctors rather than in hospitals or walk-in clinics.
The province actually has about 6,800 trained family doctors, but only about 3,500 practise in that role, according to Family Doctors for Better Patient Care in B.C.
"One of the challenges I see based on feedback from family doctors is that the incentives for them are not aligned with the behaviours and ways of working that we hoped for," Eby said.
"And so for example, the incentives are very much to favour family doctors to go in and work in hospitals or to work at drop-in clinics or to work with online service providers — or basically do anything except build relationships with patients over a long period of time, and that's what we want family doctors to do," he said. "So we need to get those incentives in mind, where we're encouraging doctors to take on that kind of work."
The answers are going to come from the doctors themselves and the best practices of other jurisdictions, Eby said. For some, that will be working on contract, while for others it will be fee-for-service, he said.
"It's not going to be a one-size-fits-all kind of solution."
Vizsolyi had planned to retire with the sale of the Cook Street building, but he was unable to find a replacement. Instead, he has moved temporarily to the Burnside Medical Clinic to continue to search for his replacement — or at the very least give his patients' records a new home.
Doctors of B.C. and the province are negotiating alternative payment models to attract more physicians to work as family doctors as well as modified fee-for-service codes for physicians — the amount doctors are compensated per patient visit, starting with a base of about $32 per visit.
Eby said he expects the government and doctors to reach some resolution before a new leader is announced in December.
Vizsolyi wants the province to consider scrapping the incentives and "have a simple system that pays you for the time you see a patient and supports your overhead … so all patients are treated equally."
Any more "newfangled ideas" with extra or modified fee codes will only cause more bureaucracy and complication and disincentives for new doctors, he said, ultimately driving even more doctors to walk-in clinics and urgent and primary care centres.
The Cook Street Village Medical Clinic is one of about five family practices and walk-in clinics to close in the capital region this year. Another five have been saved by short-term provincial funding.
Almost one million British Columbians don't have a family doctor, including 100,000 in the south Island.

Birdman, Or the Unexpected Virtue of Bilingualism
Posted on March 9, 2015 by Bryant Hillas
Writing a work in a non-native language is a daring task, perhaps even a bit pretentious. We all know about the limitations that this entails. Some take it as a challenge, others may feel a little more comfortable, but at the moment of writing something a little longer than just a song, things can get pretty complicated.
A peculiar and anecdotal thing happened at the Oscars ceremony the other week: the award for best original screenplay was given to four writers for a movie that was spoken in English, but only one of them was a native of this language. We must not allow this fact to go unnoticed, not only because it's unusual for a screenplay to be written in another language, but also because it's even stranger for it to then win such an award.
Though there are precedents from recent history in this category, none compare with the one mentioned. For example, Pedro Almodovar won this award for Talk to Her, but the screenplay was written in Spanish. On the other hand, in 2005 the French writers Michel Gondry and Pierre Bismuth earned this award for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, though their role was limited to only creating the story, as the American Charlie Kaufman was who wielded the pen when it came time to set out the dialogue.
For now at least, we don't know much about the process undertaken to write it. Alejandro Iñárritu, one of the writers and directors, commented that they would have Skype calls to develop the plot, as the writers were based in Mexico, Argentina and the United States. But despite the scarcity of details, one thing is clear: language is no longer a barrier.
It's true that the Birdman screenplay doesn't contain lines that are overly belabored, or that are harmonious with or specific to the language. Everything that's said is said directly and any insinuations can be read between the lines, without the need to sound poetic or be artificial (which is common when writing in another language). Its depth lies in what it says, and not in how it is said. It doesn't seek to transcend (as is done by the main character), and it is aware of its own limits.
The moral of the story is clear here: We've got to be bold enough to leave the comfort zone of the language we're used to. Just so it's absolutely clear — "no guts, no Oscar."

Q: Update text with jquery on socketIO event I have the following code to update the text inside a div on a socketIO message. The event is fired 10 times, and all the console.log show up fine, but the text in my div updates only once.
socket.on('jobMsg',function(msg){
  if(msg.type==='progress'){
    $('#'+msg.store).parent().text(msg.progress+' %');
    console.log(msg);
  }
});

The format of a msg is :
{type: "progress", store: "xxx", progress: 10}

Why does this happen (most important question)?
and, how do I fix this?
jade code for this bit, if it helps :
.monitor
  .led(id=res['store'])

A: Doing $('#'+msg.store).parent().text('....') targets the parent element and overwrites all and any content with the retrieved text, thus removing the $('#xxx') element completely, so the next time around there is no $('#'+msg.store).parent() as it was removed (not the parent, but the targeted element).
Change it to :
socket.on('jobMsg',function(msg){
  if(msg.type == 'progress') {
    $('#'+msg.store).text(msg.progress+' %');
  }
});
