This is a really nice from one Giorgia Sala, one of our student bloggers. Giorgia is Doctoral student at Deakin University.
This is my life at the moment, on the endless journey of becoming a clinical psychologist. I have made it particularly long for myself, having never taken time off since high school. However, I don't want to write about that! It just seemed like a catchy title. Plus, I shouldn't complain because I recently went to Europe, so I'm going to write about that instead.
Over the uni break, I went to Amsterdam, Budapest, Berlin, Bilbao, San Sebastian and few places in between. It was a quick jaunt; three weeks of free walking tours, hot weather and delicious food. Amsterdam and the Basque country are particularly memorable; Amsterdam's canals and skinny, slanting buildings were unlike anything I've ever seen. There was also a distinctly village-y, relaxed feeling throughout the city. Maybe it's all the bikes! The Basque country was very different; warm, hilly and close to the beach, full of amazing food and vibrant atmosphere.
Berlin also left an impression. An expansive, gritty city with reminders of its recent past everywhere; paintings on the wall that fell in 1989, bullet marks in the cathedral. Of course, as a tourist I look for these things, I'm an outsider there with my own expectations. I can't fathom what a local Berliner would think, if these details would leave an impression on them as they did me.
Overall, I was surprised by how frequently the topic of WWII came up in the tours of each city. This should have been expected, as the world wars and the Cold War dominate our collective perception of recent history, particularly in Europe. Nonetheless, the trip sparked a preoccupation with WWII that I didn't foresee. The stories of occupation and loss of life were confronting, even though we've heard them before. The hardest part is that suffering on this scale isn't a thing of the past; as I write this, there are over 65 million displaced people in the world who have endured violence unimaginable to me. As a child, the world wars felt distant; as an adult, they feel closer than ever. While away, I read Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl, who was a Jewish psychologist in the early 20th Century. The book is a retrospective narrative on his time in concentration camps in WWII, but also on his views of therapy and the ultimate 'point' of life. I won't spoil it for you; I will say it is an extremely warm, comforting and honest read.
On a lighter note, it was also refreshing to get out of Melbourne. Not because Melbourne is unpleasant, but because it really makes you appreciate how fantastic this city is. Melbourne of course has its own amazing food scene, varied architecture, parks, museums, sport and relatively-okay public transport. It's also funny because it looks a lot bigger and more modern than a lot of the places I went, where the skyline was low and buildings were old. What is interesting is that Melbourne had a lot of those old buildings too, but they were knocked down! If you want to see what parts of the city looked like before, have a look at this article with excerpts taken from the book 'Lost Melbourne' by Heather Chapman.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun in Europe. It made me long for the day when my degree is over, so I can save some money and go again. Until then, I'll try to keep the stress under wraps and remember to eat and sleep.

Q: AutoComplete Combobox and Entity Framework I have a combobox with an autocomplete, that is loaded with some values via EF. What I would like is to have the autocomplete match on that field, and also a second field on the entity. To explain a bit more here's the data model:
AccountCode
ID   |   Ref   |   Desc
-----------------------
1    |   ABC   |  DEF
2    |   XZY   |  WUV

Currently the ref field is being loaded into a autocomplete, and so when the user types "AB" into the combo, ABC is presented to the user. What I would like is if the user types "DE" it would also come up with ABC.

A: I do not think that you can do this with a combo box. But you can do it with a text box and a button.
I have seen this functionality before in a banking application. There the requirement was that the user should be able to type the account number or the name of the account owner. They should also be able to select from a list.
Start with a text box, capture the change event and try to match against contents of Ref and Desc. Then place a button beside the text box which allows the user to select from a list.

The Mar Thoma Church of Malabar - An Overview
Story Behind the Logo
Diocese of North America and Europe
Members of the Mar Thoma Church, now living in North America, are recent immigrants from Kerala, one of the 25 states in India. Soon after their arrival about quarter of a century ago, they organized themselves as a church and found their identity in it. This association enabled them not only to continue worship in their familiar language along with the faith and practices, but also to cope with the "new" customs and habits of a new land. Like other immigrants, they turned to family and religion, the two social institutions that provide continuity of culture and strength to face unfamiliar social practices. It seems that this"minority" has succeeded in the "host" country along with other immigrant groups from Asia.
The intercommunion relationship of the Mar Thoma Church with the Episcopal Church in USA by 1979, the Anglican Church in Canada by 1983 and the formation of the Diocese in North America by 1988 and the membership in the National Council of Churches in USA as the 34th. member church by 1997 are only some examples of the achievements of the Mar Thoma Church in North America during its 25 year growth.

This knife was forged from Japanese pre-laminated steel. The core is Aogami Super (arguably the best chef knife steel available) and the cladding is iron. As far as I know, Aogami Super is not openly available to many American makers other than myself. The core steel is famed for the keen edge it takes as well as a long edge life.
This knife features a handle constructed with curly Koa and an ancient bog oak ferrule. The bog oak came from Ukraine.

Моско́вська () — станція Автозаводської лінії та Сормовсько-Мещерської лінії Нижньогородського метро. На Автозаводській лінії розташована між станціями «Горьківська» і «Чкаловська»; на Сормовсько-Мещерській  лінії — «Канавінська» та «»

Відкрита 20 листопада 1985 року у складі першої черги Автозаводської лінії.

Технічна характеристика

Конструкція станції — колонна п'ятипрогінна мілкого закладення з кросплатформовою пересадкою (глибина закладення — 10 м).

В одному залі розташовані 2 платформи і 4 колії двох ліній метрополітену. Крок колон — 6 м.

На кожному з 4 спусків на платформи встановлено по 2 ескалатора ЕТ-5М.

У 2012 році в центрі залу був побудований перехідний місток між платформами для скорочення часу пересадки після відкриття станції «Горьківська». Також були включені на підйом ескалатори (по одному на кожному спуску), що раніше не використовувалися через низький пасажиропотік.

Оздоблення
Тема архітектурного оформлення присвячена столиці Росії — Москві. В основі художнього рішення — білий і червоний кольори, що символізують білокам'яну столицю і стіни Кремля.

Колійні стіни викладені мармуром «саліеті», колони — «коелга», підлога — квадратами з сірого і червоного граніту. Урочистість станції надають і бра на колонах (по 3 з кожного боку), зроблені зі скла і анодованого під бронзу алюмінію. На стелі, розкреслений на квадрати, світильників немає.

Архітектурний образ доповнюють 4 панно над сходами до платформ, виконані в техніці флорентійської мозаїки. Тематика панно — Москва історична, військових років, святкова і трудова.

Колійний розвиток

Станція з колійним розвитком — 6 стрілочних переводів, пошерсний з'їзд, 2 з'їзди для переходу рухомого складу між лініями і 2 станційні колії для відстою рухомого складу.

До завершення будівництва оборотних тупиків  Сормовсько-Мещерської лінії  міжлінійні з'їзди використовуються для організації руху частини електропоїздів по двох лініях, як по одній — в камері з'їздів потяги переходять на бічні станційні колії, що є продовженням колій  Сормовсько-Мещерської лінії. Час стоянки на станції становить 1,5 хвилини, за які машиніст змінює кабіну управління. Потім електропотяг виїжджає зі станції в зворотному напрямку і подальший рух продовжує вже по іншій лінії.

При цьому, в силу колійного розвитку «Московської», відбувається зміна напрямку руху з правостороннього на Автозаводській лінії на лівосторонній на Сормовсько-Мещерській лінії (і навпаки).

До відкриття станції «Горьківська» за цією схемою відбувався рух усіх поїздів. Після її відкриття було організовано маршрутний рух: з кожних трьох поїздів, що прибувають на «Московську», два слідують по центральних коліях на метроміст і до «Горьківської», а третій — за старою схемою на Сормовську лінію.

Виходи
Станція розташована біля найбільшого міського вокзалу — Московський вокзал (Нижній Новгород) на площі Революції.

Окрім вокзалу поряд знаходяться автостанція «Канавінська», нижньогородський ЦУМ, Центральний ринок, корпус Волзького державного інженерно-педагогічного університету, Нижньогородський залізничний технікум та кінотеатр «Канавінський».

Guillermo Lasso and Lenín Moreno are polling in a statistical dead heat ahead of Ecuador's Apr 2 presidential vote.
Updated March 20 — Campaigning is underway in Ecuador in the hotly contested April 2 runoff to replace the outgoing President Rafael Correa. After coming in second in the February 19 first-round vote, the Creating Opportunities party candidate Guillermo Lasso has seen his narrow lead in polls halved and as he and rival Lenín Moreno of the ruling party fall into a statistical dead heat. After 13 percent of voters who said they'd cast null votes are factored out, Lasso's margin stands at 1.6 points, or at 50.8 percent to Moreno's 49.2 percent—well within the 3.4 percent margin of error in the Cedatos poll released March 16. A more recent poll from Diagnóstico showed Moreno up by 12 points over Lasso, but was conducted in just four of Ecuador's 24 provinces, while the Cedatos poll was conducted in 15. In another Cedatos poll taken in days after the first vote, Lasso's margin stood at 4.2 points over the PAIS Alliance candidate.
Now Lasso, a former banker who took in 28.1 percent of votes in February, is working to consolidate support cast for other candidates in the first round. Third-place finisher Cynthia Viteri (16.3 percent) endorsed Lasso on the evening of the first-round results before the runoff was even certain. Fourth-place candidate Paco Moncayo (6.7 percent) also put his support behind Lasso, although he took a couple more weeks to do so.
Moreno almost won the first-round vote outright with 39.4 percent of ballots, which is just below the 40 percent threshold needed with more than a 10 percent gap over the next-strongest candidate. But he has yet to up his support much for the second round. Iván Espinel—who, at 33, was Ecuador's youngest presidential candidate ever—is the lone first-round candidate (3.2 percent) who's joined Moreno's campaign in return for a spot in the former vice president's administration should he win.
While the outcome is far from certain, Ecuadoran voters themselves are much more sure of their choice heading into the runoff. Whereas a full 40 percent of voters remained undecided in the weeks leading up to the February vote, this time more than 80 percent say they already know who they'll choose in April. That voters are less likely to be moved in the last weeks of the race could be welcome news for the campaigns, which are both battling negative messaging.
Jorge Glas, Moreno's running mate on the PAIS Alliance ticket and Correa's current vice president, is mired in the sprawling Odebrecht corruption scandal, in which the Brazilian construction firm paid bribes to a host of governments in Latin America, including in Ecuador to the tune of $33.5 million. In a leaked video, a former minister accused Glas of accepting bribes while heading Petroecuador, the state oil company. Lasso has made repeated requests for the attorney general to look into Glas' involvement; Glas, for his part, says he welcomes the investigation as he has nothing to hide.
Meanwhile, the Correa administration is working to make sure people tie Lasso to a different scandal: the financial crisis of 1998 to 1999. On March 8, some Ecuadorans protested against Lasso as they marked the eighteenth anniversary of the event, when two out every five of the country's banks shut down and the banking system collapsed, leading to losses of 20 percent of GDP and a large emigration wave. At the time, Lasso was president of Guayaquil Bank, which did not close. Correa and his colleagues contend that Lasso profited off of the crisis and his close ties with the president at the time, though Lasso was never charged with any impropriety.
Whether or not the rest of voters who didn't take to the streets are convinced by Correa's campaigning, though, is another question. In January, two out of three Ecuadorans said they don't trust the president's word, and his disapproval numbers are up to 52 percent after staying below 40 percent for most of his ten years in office.
As his approval numbers drop, Correa is all the more intent on preserving the legacy of his decade in office. Unable to run in this year's election, he promised he's going to spend time in his wife's native Belgium for a time after the election. But, if the opposition should win the executive and "destroy everything we've worked for," he warned that an obscure constitutional measure known as "crossed death" could be invoked in which the executive dissolves the legislative branch, then resigns him or herself, and special elections are held to replace both branches. "The best way for them to keep me far away is to behave," Correa said. "If they don't, I'll come back and I'll beat them again." In response, Lasso said he took Correa's comments as an implicit acknowledgement that the opposition is going to win.
Glas, for his part, is also already considering his life post-politics. He said that after his political career is over, he plans to go back to being an engineer.


In the event you become ill from carbon monoxide poisoning move yourself to fresh air and call 911. Follow instructions from the operator and await the help of a trained medical professional.
Carbon Monoxide (co) is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning occurs more often in the winter months. This occurs when people use their gas stove to heat the home. Carbon Monoxide is produced by any device that burns fuel. Approximately 500 Americans die annually from accidental Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and approximately 5,000 are treated for exposure at area hospitals. To reduce the chance of accidental exposure a Carbon Monoxide Detector should be installed in the home.
Carbon Monoxide fumes build up where there is poor ventilation, particularly in an enclosed area.
Carbon Monoxide binds to our hemoglobin 200 times faster than oxygen. When exposure is high enough, you can develop these symptoms from exposure to Carbon Monoxide.
CO enters the body through breathing. CO poisoning can be confused with flu symptoms, food poisoning and other illnesses. Some symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, light headedness or headaches. High levels of CO can be fatal, causing death within minutes. The concentration of CO, measured in parts per million (ppm) is a determining factor in the symptoms for an average healthy adult.
· 50ppm: no adverse effects with 8 hours of exposure.
· 200ppm: mild headache after 2-3 hours of exposure.
· 400ppm: headache and nausea after 1-2 hours of exposure.
· 800ppm: headache, nausea and dizziness after 45 minutes: collapse and unconsciousness after 1 hour of exposure.
· 1,000ppm: loss of consciousness after 1 hour of exposure.
· 1,600ppm: headache, nausea and dizziness after 20 minutes of exposure.
· 3,200ppm: headache, nausea and dizziness after 5-10 minutes of exposure, collapse and unconsciousness after 30 minutes of exposure.
· 6,400ppm: Headache and dizziness after 1-2 minutes: unconsciousness and danger of death after 10-15 minutes of exposure.
· 12,800ppm: immediate physiological effects, unconsciousness and danger of death after 1-3 minutes of exposure.
· Never heat your home with a gas stove or gas range.
· Never use a charcoal grill or a hibachi in your home.
· Never use a gas powered generator or a gas powered machine in the home or basement.
· Make sure all fuel burning appliances are properly installed and maintained by a certified technician.
· Never use a gas powered machine by an open window (fumes can seep into the home).
· Always clear exhaust pipes from automobiles and trucks during snowstorms.
· Make sure fireplace, chimney and flues are checked and cleaned every year.
· Never sit in a car or leave it running in a closed garage.
· Install carbon monoxide detector(s) in your home and check it regularly to make sure the battery is working.

We the People Soap2Day review
The worthy and non-trivial plot of the We the People Soap2Day series set the creative bar very high, now it can rightfully be considered the benchmark in its genre.
I watched all the 1 of the season with true admiration, such a masterful acting game of actors is now extremely rare in the universe of television series.
It was not for nothing that the director filmed the 10 episode of this dynamic series, it took the viewer so much time to fall in love with all the heroes of the story.
I watched almost all worthy 2021 series, and in this I saw a full-fledged storyline, with unexpected, but quite logical twists.
Not at all like the classic series in the genre of Animation, Kids, this one was a real discovery for me, just an incredible storyline.
The director Chris Nee, which is not a series, is a masterpiece, but there was something radically new here, not at all familiar to true connoisseurs of genius.
The Higher Ground Productions, Khalabo Ink Society, Laughing Wild film crew knows how to work with the viewer`s attention, the series turned out to be very exciting and emotionally filled.
In general, the game stood out very much, they breathed life into wonderful characters, making them as close as possible to the ordinary viewer.

~ Modern Metrics Will Measure CABI Authors' Research Output in Innovative Ways ~
IPSWICH, Mass.— April 13, 2015—Scientists at CABI will be able to gauge the impact of their agricultural and environmental research in several unique ways by partnering with PlumX from Plum™ Analytics, an EBSCO company. As part of a six-month pilot program, CABI is using PlumX metrics to measure the recent research of its authors and is showcasing their articles and books on CAB Direct, its scientific research portal. PlumX's Plum Print data visualization tool will provide clear feedback on how the articles and books were consumed, providing timely information on usage, citations, captures, mentions and social media output.
PlumX analytics measure research impact in a variety of electronic media, which keeps pace with the real-time nature of the Web-based world where academic research is increasingly accessed. Cristina Ashby, Head of Publishing Platforms at CABI, remains confident that using alternative metrics to measure this impact will provide CABI and its researchers with a realistic picture of how research is being used. "The analytics provided by PlumX help us to see what is happening with our scientists' work almost immediately. Research can be accessed and used through many different avenues these days, and it's exciting as well as informative to know that now it can be measured in ways that complement citation counts."
Mike Buschman, Co-Founder of Plum Analytics, says that in addition to the immediate feedback to researchers, PlumX provides a value-added informational tool for all the stakeholders in an institution's research. "PlumX metrics are an important new tool for all parties in the scholarly research chain, including researchers; offices of research; libraries, corporate research and development; research institutes, grant writers and funders; publishers; and abstracting and indexing providers. All of these bodies want to understand how their authors are doing and what insight they can gain from new, modern metrics—especially for more recent articles that have not yet been heavily cited.

The Lombok is small but has built up a very good reputation for itself. The menu offers a good selection of standard Thai dishes such as red & green curries, but also more unusual dishes such as Bangkok curry containing banana blossoms and chilli fried vegetables with fresh green pepper corns. Due to its size, the restaurant doesn't offer much privacy for a romantic meal, but the cream and green interior creates a light and airy feel and the glass front allows you to watch the world go by.
Moving on to the main course (£5.25 – £9.95), we chose king prawns with garlic and lemon grass. The prawns were large and juicy and the other flavours were easily distinguishable – a well-balanced and fresh flavoured dish.
Although we had a seafood-based meal they do offer a good selection of meat and vegetarian options too. They also have an appetising range of authentic desserts such as baked bananas and exotic fruit sorbets (an area in which a lot of restaurants let themselves down, opting for apple pie etc. instead) – but we were too full to try them.
We had a very enjoyable evening at the Lombok and left the restaurant thoroughly satisfied. As the meal only came to £43 for two, our wallets didn't suffer too much either.

When cats sharpen their claws on the furniture many owners think that the cat is showing contempt and adopt 'strong measures' such as using repellent sprays or reprimands that the cat doesn't understand. But what is behind this typical cat behaviour and how can we limit the disastrous effects on our furniture? Dr Maria Grazia Calore, veterinary doctor and expert in pet behaviour, helps us to understand.
A cat's nail grows 'in layers' like an onion and never stops growing. For this reason, a feline has to remove the older, external layers by regularly sharpening its claws.
– Keeping nails orderly: in this way, the cat prevents the nail penetrating the fingertip causing pain.
– Communicating: a cat is a relational animal, not a social animal, so it needs to communicate its presence in the territory through a number of signals, including marking with scratches in key areas, like near the place they sleep or near potential access points for unwelcome visitors, such as doors and windows. So, the more the scratches are evident, the more our domestic cat feels safe from external intrusions.
We should accept the fact that cats marking with scratches is a perfectly normal behaviour and can't be eliminated, however any potential damage to our fixtures and fittings can be addressed by introducing an object such as a scratching post.
– Adequate positioning: it's better if the post is positioned close to doors or windows or near the place the cat sleeps.
All important details if we want to be sure that our cat uses our gift.
And if you want to replace the scratching post, remember not to remove the old one straight away, it may be unsightly for us but is 'a thing of beauty' to our cat. Instead, it's better to put old and new side by side to make sure that the cat uses the new one before we throw away the old one: in this way we will avoid a lot of stress for our cat!


I'm gonna keep this brief.
Do you care about the people around you?
This issue was planned around the theme of accessibility, leading up to Access Day May 18 on CiTR 101.9FM — a day of special programming that questions all aspects of accessibility, physical and otherwise. We have a brief interview with some organizers and participants of Access Day on page 20. Eleanor Wearing has also researched a two-part article on the accessibility, or inaccessibility, of local cultural events. Beyond that, the topic of accessibility is an undercurrent: Jules Galbraith asks Deep Blue about their accessibility in a D.I.Y. art space; Dora Dubber interviews So I had an abortion… founder Julia Santana Parilla about accessing information on abortion; Tintin Yang interviews Vancouver Mural Festival's David Vertesi about organizing an event that implicates everyone; and I ask Syrian author Ahmad Danny Ramadan, "What is home?" in the context of immigration.
Are these articles really about accessibility if they are not directly related to mobility? I think so. Not to undercut the advocacy of making spaces more physically accessible — which is the priority — the topic of accessibility is larger than that. To seriously enact accessibility requires relearning how we move around public space in relation to other people, and how we accommodate those around us. It involves realizing that every person processes situations differently. It involves compassion.

\section{Theorie}

Der Versuch V602 untersucht das Emissionsspektrum einer $\ce{Cu}-$Röntgenröhre
und Absorptionsspektren verschiedener Absorber.

Röntgenstrahlen werden in einer Röntgenröhre erzeugt. Diese ist
evakuiert und beinhaltet eine Glühkathode und eine Anode.
Aufgrund des glühelektrischen Effektes werden Elektronen aus der Kathode gelöst und
in Richtung der positiv geladenen Anode beschleunigt. Treffen die beschleunigten
Elektronen auf das Anodenmaterial auf entsteht Röntgenstrahlung, welche sich
aus dem kontinuierlichen Bremsspektrum und der charakteristischen Röntgenstrahlung
zusammensetzt. Die hier auftretende charakteristische Röntgenstrahlung ist
dem Anodenmaterial Kupfer zugeordnet. Das Bremsspektrum wird wegen des
Coulombfeldes des Atomkerns hervorgerufen. Beim Abbremsprozess wird ein Photon
emittiert. Die Energie des Photons entspricht dem Energieverlust des abgebremsten
Elektrons. Die Wellenlänge $\lambda$ des emittierten Photons lässt sich aus der Energie $E\ua{kin}$ über
den folgenden Zusammenhang ermitteln.

\begin{equation}
  \label{eqn:Wellenlänge}
  \lambda = \frac{h\cdot c}{E\ua{kin}}
\end{equation}

Dabei ist $c$ die Lichtgeschwindigkeit und $h$ das \emph{Planck'sche Wirkungsquantum}.
Die Wellenlänge wird minimal für den maximalen Wert der Energie.
Die kinetische Energie ist maximal für $e_0U$, wodurch

\begin{equation}
  \label{eqn:Wellenlänge_minimal}
  \lambda\ua{min} = \frac{h\cdot c}{e_0U}.
\end{equation}

In \eqref{eqn:Wellenlänge_minimal} wird die gesamte kinetische Energie in
Strahlungsenergie umgewandelt.

Das charakteristische Spektrum entsteht aufgrund der Ionisierung des Anodenmaterials.
Dabei wird ein Elektron aus einer inneren Schale herausgelöst.
Die entstandene Leerstelle wird durch ein Elektron der äußeren Schale gefüllt.
Aufgrund der Energiedifferenz der Elektronenschalen wird beim Wechsel eines
äußeren Elektrons auf eine inner liegende Schale ein Röntgenquant mit der
Energie $h\nu = E\ua{m} - E\ua{n}$ emittiert. Die auftretenden Energien $E\ua{m}$
und $E\ua{n}$ stellen die Energien der verschiedenen Elektronenschalen dar.
Das charakteristische Spektrum besteht aus diskreten, scharfen Linien, welche
mit $K_\alpha, K_\beta, L_\alpha, L_\beta, ...$ gekennzeichnet werden. Die
Buchstaben $K, L, M$ stehen dabei für die Elektronenschalen des Atoms und die
Indizes sagen aus, welches Elektron aus der Schale gewechselt ist.
Die Bindungsenergie eines Elektron aus der $n$-ten Schale ist geringer als
die Bindungsenergie eines Elektrons aus der $n-1$-ten Schale. Dies wird durch
Abschrimungseffekte der Hüllenelektronen und Wechselwirkungen der Elektronen
untereinander welche die Kernladung teilweise kompensieren können verstärkt.
Das charakteristische Spektrum weißt für jedes Elektron spezifische
Linien auf, welche als Feinstruktur bezeichnet werden.
Für die Bindungsenergie $E\ua{n}$ eines Elektron der $n$-ten Schale gilt unter Berücksichtigung der
Feinstruktur nach der Sommerfeldschen Feinstrukturformel:

\begin{equation}
  \label{eqn:Bindungsenergie}
  E\ua{n, j} = -R_\infty\left(z\ua{eff}^2 \cdot \frac{1}{n^2} + \alpha \cdot z\ua{eff}^4 \cdot \frac{1}{n^3}\left(\frac{2}{2j + 1} - \frac{3}{4n}\right)\right).
\end{equation}

Dabei ist $R_\infty = \SI{13,6}{eV}$ die Rydbergenergie, $n$ die Hauptquantenzahl,
$j$ der Gesamtdrehimpuls, $\alpha$ die Sommerfeldsche Feinstrukturkonstante und $z\ua{eff}$
die effektive Kernladung. Diese setzt sich aus der Differenz $z\ua{eff} =  z - \sigma$ zusammen,
wobei $\sigma$ der Abschirmungskonstante ist.

Wird die Feinstruktur vernachlässigt vereinfacht sich die Bindungsenergie eines
Elektrons der $n$-ten Schale zu:

\begin{equation}
  \label{eqn:Bindungsenergie_vereinfacht}
  E\ua{n} = -R_\infty z\ua{eff}^2 \cdot \frac{1}{n^2}.
\end{equation}

Insgesamt spielen bei der Absorption von Strahlung drei grundlegende Effekte
eine Rolle. Zum einen der Photoeffekt, welcher bewirkt, dass einfallende
Photonen Elektronen aus Metalloberflächen lösen können, der Comptoneffekt,
welcher für eine meist unerwünschte Röntgenstrahlenstreuung führt und die Paarbildung.
Paarbildung tritt jedoch nur bei Strahlungsenergien von $>\SI{1}{MeV}$ auf. Diese
werden im vorliegenden Versuch nicht erreicht. Damit sind die
dominant auftretenden Phänomene der Photo- und der Comptoneffekt.
Der Comptoneffekt tritt auf wenn Röntgenstrahlen an den Elektronen des Target
gestreut werden. Die gestreute Röntgenstrahlen besitzen eine längere Wellenlänge
als die eingehende Strahlung. Mit dem Streuwinkel $\theta$ verhält sich der Comptoneffekt gemäß:

\begin{equation}
  \label{eqn:Compton}
  \lambda\ua{einfallend} - \lambda\ua{gestreut} = \frac{h}{m_e\cdot c}\left(1 - \cos \theta\right).
\end{equation}

Die stattfindende Absorption nimmt mit zunehmender Energie der Elektronen ab
und steigt sprunghaft an, sobald die Photonenenergie gerade größer ist als
die Bindungsenergie eines Elektrons aus der nächsten tieferen Schale.
Damit ergeben sich die Absorptionskanten zu $h\nu\ua{abs} = E\ua{n} - E\ua{\infty}$.
Die Absorptionskante wird immer nach der Schale aus der das Elektron stammt
als $K$-, $L$-, $M$-,$...$ Kante bezeichnet. In der $L$-Schale lassen sich drei
Absorptionskanten beobachten, wobei aufgrund der Auflösung nur zwei Kanten sichtbar
werden.
Die zugehörige Abschirmungskonstante $\sigma_L$ ergibt sich damit zu:

\begin{equation}
  \label{eqn:sigma_L}
  \sigma_L = Z - \left(\frac{4}{\alpha}\sqrt{\frac{\Delta E_L}{R_\infty}} - \frac{5\Delta E_L}{R_\infty}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\left(1 + \frac{19}{32}\alpha^2\frac{\Delta E_L}{R_\infty}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}.
\end{equation}

In dieser Formel ist $\Delta E_L$ die Energie zwischen der $L_{II}$-- und der $L_{III}$--Kante
und $Z$ die Ordnungszahl.

Die Energie bzw. die Wellenlänge lässt sich mittels der Bragg-Bedingung experimentell
ermitteln. Die in der Röntgenröhre erzeugte Röntgenstrahlung wird auf eine Kristallgitter
Struktur geschossen. Ein Winkel $\Theta$ ist ausgezeichnet als Glanzwinkel.
An diesem Winkel interferieren die Wellenlängen konstruktiv miteinander.
Die Bragg-Bedingung ist gegeben durch:

\begin{equation}
  2d\cdot \sin\left(\Theta\right) = k\cdot \lambda
  \label{eqn:Winkel}
\end{equation}

mit der Gitterkonstante $d$, der gebeugten Wellenlänge $\lambda$ sowie der
Beugungsordnung $k$.

\end{figure}

In der Messapparatur ist im wesentlichen eine Röntgenröhre, ein Geiger-Müller-Zählrohr
mit Drehmechanismus und ein LiF-Kristall integriert. Für die Bedienung der Apparatur und
die Aufnahme der Messdaten wird ein Computer mit vorinstallierter Software verwendet.
Die Beschleunigungsspannung und der Emissionsstrom bleiben während allen Messungen konstant.
$U_B$ liegt bei $\SI{35}{kV}$ und $I$ bei $\SI{1}{\milli\ampere}$.

Zu Begin des Versuches wird die Bragg-Bedingung überprüft.
Dafür wird der Kristallwinkel kostant auf $\Theta = 14°$ eingestellt und das
Geiger-Müller-Zählrohr läuft in einem Winkel von $\alpha_{GM} = 26°$ bis $30°$
mit einem Winkelzuwachs von $\Delta\alpha_{GM}$ um de Kristall herum. Die Integrationszeit
wird auf $\Delta t = \SI{10}{\second}$ eingestellt.

Danach wird das Emissionsspektrum auf das Programm 2:1 Koppelmodus eigestellt.
Das Röntgenspektrum der Beugungsordnung $k = 1$ wird im Winkelbereich
$\Theta = 4°$ bis $26°$ in $0,2°$-Schritten gemessen. Für $\Delta t$
werden $\SI{5}{\second}$ eingestellt.

Abschließend wird das Absorptionsspektrum von fünf leichten Absorbern
und einem schweren Absorber bestimmt. Bei den leichten Absorbern
handelt es sich um $\ce{Zn, Ge, Br, Sr, Zr}$ und bei dem schwerem Absorber handelt
es sich um $\ce{Au}$. Die Braggwinkel zu dem Literaturwert der $E_{K}$-Kante
werden vorher recherchiert, damit $\Theta$ auf $\pm 2°$ des Literaturwertes
eingestellt werden kann. Die Absorber werden vor dem Geiger-Müller-Zählrohr
befestigt. Das Absorptionsspektrum wird in $0,2°$-Schritten mit einer
Integrationszeit von $\Delta t = \SI{20}{\second}$ gestellt.

Alle genommenen Messdaten werden als Grafik und als Tabelle in passendem Format
exportiert.

I've used Native deodorant for about 2 years. I would start to smell in about 4 hours. I would then have to wash my armpits and reapply more. The baking soda didn't bother me, so I never had the dreadful rash. But, it was the only aluminum free deodorant that lasted that long. The rest didn't work at all. Not even for 30 minutes. I wanted to stick to natural deodorants and not go back to an antiperspirant. My grandmother died from breast cancer. Not saying antiperspirants caused it, but I wanted to be careful with the products I used. I can deal with a little a sweat. My armpits have been detoxed for several years now so I didn't need a transition period. Lumē has been wonderful! I did pretreat my shirts before I washed them. I use Persil as my laundry detergent. This was something I didn't need to change. The first shirt I wore while using Lumē made me think Lumē didn't work. I smelled my armpits and they didn't smell, however it was my shirt that had a lingering odor. This was one that I'd forgotten to pretreat. This deodorant has been the best ever. No oily residue is a plus. And, no funk whatsoever is the biggest reward from using this product. It's almost as if this product provides inexorable odor control. I'm very pleased, and will continue to use this product. I purchased unscented Lumē and am fine with that. My allergies don't tolerate certain smells too well. Please, do not change the formula! It's not broken, please don't try to fix it.

Unnur Benediktsdóttir Bjarklind (1881–1946) who wrote as Hulda (the fairy or hidden one) was an Icelandic poet and prose writer. A proponent of symbolism, she was the most prominent figure in a group of writers who revived and revitalized the þulur genre of oral litany.

Having a librarian as a father Hulda received an extensive home education. She studied English, German and French as well as the Scandinavian languages, granting her access to the works of European writers. Among Icelandic poets she admired the rural poetry of Eggert Ólafsson and the lyrical quality of Benedikt Gröndal's works. She began contributing poems to periodicals at the age of twenty and was quickly discovered by Einar Benediktsson and Þorsteinn Erlingsson, who hailed her as a star of neo-romanticism. Her first volume of poetry, Kvæði (Poems; 1909) consists of lyrical nature poetry, contrasting the neo-romantic dream of freedom with the virtues of hard work while some metaphors suggest the oppressed condition of women. Despite delicate health and the duties of a housewife, Hulda was a prolific writer, publishing seven volumes of poetry, the last appearing posthumously in 1951. One of her best known works is a patriotic poem written to celebrate the establishment of the Icelandic Republic in 1944.

Hulda wrote more than ten volumes of prose; fairy tales, short stories and sketches as well as the two-volume novel, Dalafólk (People of the Valleys). She wrote the novel as a reaction to Independent People by Halldór Laxness. In contrast to Laxness' bleak view of rural life in Iceland, Hulda presents a somewhat idealized picture of the old manorlike farmsteads.

Home entertainment Nigeria and the ASO ROCK Remote control, The late Chief of staff was the remote control to that TV in Aso rock
Nigeria and the ASO ROCK Remote control, The late Chief of staff was the remote control to that TV in Aso rock
My brother, which government are you talking about? The Presidency is now like a TV without remote.
Before the demise of the almighty Chief of staff, the Nigerian government & its presidency was like using an old JVC TV used in the 1970s, in a modern age. You will need to go outside to set the antenna in order to get any signal. That was the situation we found ourselves then.
The late Chief of staff was the remote control to that TV. At his pleasure, he'd package the president, tell him what to say for a few minutes and we will all be happy and keep hope alive having seen the little signal.
on any other point, as pleases him, he'd package the actor from Sudan who comes out to showcase all he has practiced in Aso rock as president Buhari, and we will all clap and shout 'Sai Baba'. All na packaging. But as mumu country, we'd keep on celebrating, at least the president was seen on TV.
But now that the Remote Control has expired, this aged, dilapidated, ancient television can't function at all. I am doubtful that the new Chief of Staff will be able to function adequately as a good remote control because you cannot use a new Samsung remote control on an old JVC television, you know it can't work.
So let's not expect much to change for good now as we will not be getting any signal from that TV so soon because our good old general can't function to capacity on his own without his well-beloved Chief Of Staff.
And, on the other hand, Jubril his body double actor from Sudan is in a rather confused state because his film director and producer who also doubles as his manager is no more. Maybe the series has come to an end or we may be watching the last episode.
Don't expect much signal from our presidential television because the remote is no more.
I live in a country where there's 24/7 power supply, I've never seen anything like low voltage (low current in Nigerian term), the light never blinks nor go off even in a second, if my flat is owing light bill, the power regulatory company 'll off my light alone not the entire building like it's done in Nigeria ooo... and you'll never see their staff in your door step coming to demand electric bill like it's done in Nigeria, once your light is off, you'll go by yourself to their office, clear the bill and pay re-connection fee and your light is back again. I've never heard that someone is electrocuted to death, why? Because you can't even see their cables, everything is buried underground and in the walls.
For many years I've been here, I only go to the toilet to pass faeces, I don't know where they go to, no soak-away, they don't get filled up, that's a standard sewage system.
There's nothing like borehole here but water flows 24/7, where they come from, I don't know 🤷♀, I only use them... that's a standard running water.
The salary and illiterate without WAEC is earning here, most graduates in Nigeria don't earn it that's for the few that are opportune to be employed.
The traffic lights here are functioning, the accident rate here is very very low, there's nothing like traffic wardens here like it is in Nigeria where a police officer 'll hop on speedy vehicles, endangering his life and that of other road users.
Here we have raders mounted everywhere, if you over speed or disobey their traffic rules, an alert of fine 'll just enter your phone immediately, no stress... if I should write down what my eyes have seen in this country, I'll cover a whole text book.
Now do the comparison yourself, can Nigeria ever reach this stage of development?
Of course no. Can I afford to bring all my family, friends and well wishers to this country? Of course no. Can I live here for the rest of my life? Of course no.
Then I said to myself, it's better I join hand let's have a country like this to call my own, since it's not possible in Nigeria because of our diversity.
You're a Yoruba man, why don't you mind your business and leave us alone? Your sisters are being auctioned at $1000 in Lebanon, just within a space of two weeks, your brothers are forming one million boys, looting people's shops because of hunger, fulani herdsmen are sacking villages in Ondo state and other Yoruba states raping and spilling blood unabated, your women are now beggers with babies on their back while your men are cooperate beggars, the youth are armed rubbers and Spiritualist, the building of 17th centuries are all over Yoruba land, your graduates are not employed, no hope, no future , all the aforementioned ain't your problem but Biafra?
Oh wicked soul, when will thou repent and think of your miserable lives than pock-nosing?
You created the defunct Amotekun, all of us stood by you, until the owners of Nigeria threatened to cripple the economy of Lagos by building Warri seaport if you don't jettison the idea of Amotekun, you got no choice than to surcuum, yet the killing of your people by the fulani's is still ongoing.
Why not think of how to free yourself from this cage than work tirelessly to pull another down?
Why mocking us😭 as if you're better than us, don't you see that as stupidity?..................
Why why why,? My heart bleeds for myopic uninformed wretched Yorubas that sees nothing wrong with the way Nigeria is, oh ye slaves that mistook thy chains for bracelets, I weep for you😭.......

So it's official, winter has arrived here in New York City. As the temperatures slowly drop, I have switched to my winter wardrobe. The winter attire consists of heavy knits and wooly scarves. It is essential for every fashionista to remain fashionable but very warm throughout this cold season. Therefore I recently purchased a new fur coat from H&M - the Cruella De Vil inspired jacket will *fingers crossed* serve me well throughout the winter.
Although it's getting pretty cold in the city, there are still plenty of pretty sites to see in New York. As Bryant Park has now opened it's ice-skating rink surrounded by these cute market stalls which range from serving Christmas decorations to jewellery. This city has so much to offer whatever the weather!!
One of my favourite things to do , now that it has hit winter is walk over to Museum mile and visit all the amazing museums the city has to offer. Last week I went to The Museum of Modern Art. They've added a lot of new art collections from my last visit to New York. As always I found myself snooping around the Ancient Egyptian artifacts. In my next blog post all will be unveiled about my art findings at the Moma!
Winter days are also perfect to just sit and enjoy a yummy cappuccino. The city has so many uber chic cafe's at every street corner so you'll never be short of finding a coffee place.

The Rwanda pilot survey for "Estimating the Size of Key Populations at Higher Risk of HIV through a Household Survey" (ESPHS) is a national sample survey designed to provide information on hard-to-reach populations such as injecting drug users (IDU), sex workers, etc. A nationally representative sample of 2,125 households was selected in order to generate about 5,000 individual interviews. All household members age 15 and above, who were usual residents of the selected households or who slept in the household the night before the survey were eligible for the survey. The survey was designed to produce a representative estimate of the size of hard-to-reach populations for the country as a whole.
The Estimating the Size of Populations through a Household Survey (EPSHS), sought to assess the feasibility of the network scale-up and proxy respondent methods for estimating the sizes of key populations at higher risk of HIV infection and to compare the results to other estimates of the population sizes. The study was undertaken based on the assumption that if these methods proved to be feasible with a reasonable amount of data collection for making adjustments, countries would be able to add this module to their standard household survey to produce size estimates for their key populations at higher risk of HIV infection. This would facilitate better programmatic responses for prevention and caring for people living with HIV and would improve the understanding of how HIV is being transmitted in the country.
The specific objectives of the ESPHS were:
1. To assess the feasibility of the network scale-up method for estimating the sizes of key populations at higher risk of HIV infection in a Sub-Saharan African context;
2. To assess the feasibility of the proxy respondent method for estimating the sizes of key populations at higher risk of HIV infection in a Sub-Saharan African context;
3. To estimate the population size of MSM, FSW, IDU, and clients of sex workers in Rwanda at a national level;
4. To compare the estimates of the sizes of key populations at higher risk for HIV produced by the network scale-up and proxy respondent methods with estimates produced using other methods; and
5. To collect data to be used in scientific publications comparing the use of the network scale-up method in different national and cultural environments.
- Household
- Individual
The 2011 Rwanda Estimating the Size of Populations through a Household Survey covered the following topics:
• Identification
• Household schedule, usual members and visitors in the selected households
• Background information on each person listed, such as relationship to head of the household, age, sex, and marital status
• Characteristics of the household's dwelling unit, such as the source of drinking water, type of toilet facilities, number of rooms, main material of the floor, roof and walls of the dwelling, and possessions of durable goods (including land).
INDIVIDUAL - for the "Basic" definition of "To Know"
• Respondent background
• Known population
• Summation
• Target population
• Proxy respondent
• Stigma
INDIVIDUAL - for the "Meal" definition of "To Know"

The Estimating the Size of Populations through a Household Survey (ESPHS) used a two-stage sample design, implemented in a representative sample of 2,125 households selected nationwide in which all women and men age 15 years and above where eligible for an individual interview. The sampling frame used was the preparatory frame for the Rwanda Population and Housing Census (RPHC), which was conducted in 2012; it was provided by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR).
The sampling frame was a complete list of natural villages covering the whole country (14,837 villages). Two strata were defined: the city of Kigali and the rest of the country. One hundred and thirty Primary Sampling Units (PSU) were selected from the sampling frame (35 in Kigali and 95 in the other stratum). To reduce clustering effect, only 20 households were selected per cluster in Kigali and 15 in the other clusters. As a result, 33 percent of the households in the sample were located in Kigali.
The list of households in each cluster was updated upon arrival of the survey team in the cluster. Once the listing had been updated, a number was assigned to each existing household in the cluster. The supervisor then identified the households to be interviewed in the survey by using a table in which the households were randomly pre-selected. This table also provided the list of households pre-selected for each of the two different definitions of what it means "to know" someone.
For further details on sample design and implementation, see Appendix A of the final report.
A total of 2,125 households were selected in the sample, of which 2,120 were actually occupied at the time of the interview. The number of occupied households successfully interviewed was 2,102, yielding a household response rate of 99 percent.
From the households interviewed, 2,629 women were found to be eligible and 2,567 were interviewed, giving a response rate of 98 percent. Interviews with men covered 2,102 of the eligible 2,149 men, yielding a response rate of 98 percent. The response rates do not significantly vary by type of questionnaire or residence.

Data Collection Notes
Data collection was conducted from June 2 to August 9, 2011 on a nationally representative sample of 2,125 households. Each of these households was visited to obtain information using the Household Questionnaire. All women and all men age 15 years and above were eligible to be individually interviewed, if they were either usual residents of the household or visitors present in the household on the night before the survey. A total of 4,669 women and men were successfully interviewed.
The Estimating the Size of Populations through a Household Survey (ESPHS) used two types of questionnaires: a household questionnaire and an individual questionnaire. The same individual questionnaire was used to interview both women and men. In addition, two versions of the individual questionnaire were developed, using two different definitions of what it means "to know" someone. Each version of the individual questionnaire was used in half of the selected households.
Data Editing
The processing of the ESPHS data began shortly after the fieldwork commenced. Completed questionnaires were returned periodically from the field to the SPH office in Kigali, where they were entered and checked for consistency by data processing personnel who were specially trained for this task. Data were entered using CSPro, a programme specially developed for use in DHS surveys. All data were entered twice (100 percent verification). The concurrent processing of the data was a distinct advantage for data quality, because the School of Public Health had the opportunity to advise field teams of problems detected during data entry. The data entry and editing phase of the survey was completed in late August 2011.
Estimates of Sampling Error
The estimates from a sample survey are affected by two types of errors: (1) non-sampling errors, and (2) sampling errors. Non-sampling errors are the results of mistakes made in implementing data collection and data processing, such as failure to locate and interview the correct household, misunderstanding of the questions on the part of either the interviewer or the respondent, and data entry errors. Although numerous efforts were made to minimize this type of error during the implementation of the Rwanda ESPHS 2011, non-sampling errors are impossible to avoid and difficult to evaluate statistically.
Sampling errors, on the other hand, can be evaluated statistically. The sample of respondents selected in the ESPHS 2011 is only one of many samples that could have been selected from the same population, using the same design and identical size. Each of these samples would yield results that differ somewhat from the results of the actual sample selected. Sampling errors are a measure of the variability between all possible samples. Although the degree of variability is not known exactly, it can be estimated from the survey results.
A sampling error is usually measured in terms of the standard error for a particular statistic (mean, percentage, etc.), which is the square root of the variance. The standard error can be used to calculate confidence intervals within which the true value for the population can reasonably be assumed to fall. For example, for any given statistic calculated from a sample survey, the value of that statistic will fall within a range of plus or minus two times the standard error of that statistic in 95 percent of all possible samples of identical size and design.
If the sample of respondents had been selected as a simple random sample, it would have been possible to use straightforward formulas for calculating sampling errors. However, the ESPHS 2011 sample is the result of a multi-stage stratified design, and, consequently, it was necessary to use more complex formulae. The computer software used to calculate sampling errors for the ESPHS 2011 is a SAS program. This program uses the Taylor linearization method for variance estimation for survey estimates that are means or proportions.
A more detailed description of estimates of sampling errors are presented in Appendix B of the survey report.

Request Dataset Access
The following applies to DHS, MIS, AIS and SPA survey datasets (Surveys, GPS, and HIV).
To request dataset access, you must first be a registered user of the website. You must then create a new research project request. The request must include a project title and a description of the analysis you propose to perform with the data.
The requested data should only be used for the purpose of the research or study. To request the same or different data for another purpose, a new research project request should be submitted. The DHS Program will normally review all data requests within 24 hours (Monday - Friday) and provide notification if access has been granted or additional project information is needed before access can be granted.
DATASET ACCESS APPROVAL PROCESS
Access to DHS, MIS, AIS and SPA survey datasets (Surveys, HIV, and GPS) is requested and granted by country. This means that when approved, full access is granted to all unrestricted survey datasets for that country. Access to HIV and GIS datasets requires an online acknowledgment of the conditions of use.
A dataset request must include contact information, a research project title, and a description of the analysis you propose to perform with the data.
Restricted Datasets
A few datasets are restricted and these are noted. Access to restricted datasets is requested online as with other datasets. An additional consent form is required for some datasets, and the form will be emailed to you upon authorization of your account. For other restricted surveys, permission must be granted by the appropriate implementing organizations, before The DHS Program can grant access. You will be emailed the information for contacting the implementing organizations. A few restricted surveys are authorized directly within The DHS Program, upon receipt of an email request.
When The DHS Program receives authorization from the appropriate organizations, the user will be contacted, and the datasets made available by secure FTP.
GPS/HIV Datasets/Other Biomarkers
Because of the sensitive nature of GPS, HIV and other biomarkers datasets, permission to access these datasets requires that you accept a Terms of Use Statement. After selecting GPS/HIV/Other Biomarkers datasets, the user is presented with a consent form which should be signed electronically by entering the password for the user's account.
Dataset Terms of Use
Once downloaded, the datasets must not be passed on to other researchers without the written consent of The DHS Program. All reports and publications based on the requested data must be sent to The DHS Program Data Archive in a Portable Document Format (pdf) or a printed hard copy.
Datasets are made available for download by survey. You will be presented with a list of surveys for which you have been granted dataset access. After selecting a survey, a list of all available datasets for that survey will be displayed, including all survey, GPS, and HIV data files. However, only data types for which you have been granted access will be accessible. To download, simply click on the files that you wish to download and a "File Download" prompt will guide you through the remaining steps.
Citation requirements
Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include:
- the Identification of the Primary Investigator
- the title of the survey (including country, acronym and year of implementation)
- the survey reference number
- the source and date of download
Access authority

One NFL team was forced to make this unthinkable decision on game day
The NFL's bizarre 2020 season took another strange turn on Sunday.
No one could believe what they were seeing.
And one NFL team was forced to make this unthinkable decision on game day.
Denver Broncos reserve quarterback Jake Driscoll tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Broncos other three quarterbacks on the roster – Drew Locke, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles – all tested negative but because they were in a meeting room with Driscoll and not wearing a mask, the NFL COVID-19 protocols required them to be in isolation for five days.
That forced the Broncos to elevate practice squad wide receiver Kendell Hilton – who once played twenty games as quarterback his first three years at Wake Forest before being moved to wide receiver – to the main roster and start him under center against the 8-2 New Orleans Saints.
Predictably, the Broncos offense was a dumpster fire with Hinton completing 1 of 9 passes for 13 yards and 2 interceptions while Denver gained just six first downs and 112 yards of total offense.
Afterwards, Broncos safety Kareem Jackson ripped the league for not moving the game and claimed the NFL wanted to make an example out of the Broncos.
"I feel like maybe [the game] could have been moved, but at the same time, maybe the league was making an example of us as far as maybe not doing the things we needed to do in that particular room, that quarterback room," Jackson said. "Obviously, the guys didn't follow their protocols, and for [the NFL] to see that, I guess they felt like they had to make an example, so at the end of [the] day, it is what it is.
"… Obviously, it's our guys' fault for not wearing their masks, but at least maybe move the game to the next day or whenever so we're given a fighting chance," Jackson added. "[It's] obviously disappointing. I'm not sure why it wasn't moved. I have no clue … as a competitor, [it is] definitely frustrating."
In recent weeks, the NFL has issued insane coronavirus mandates such as making all players on the sidelines wear masks.
There are no recorded instances of coronavirus transmission on the field of play in any sports anywhere in the world.
The NFL's irrational coronavirus rules seemed just plain weird at first.
Now they are threatening the competitive integrity of the league.
