Um, Where Did Fall Go? 162 Heat Records Could Be Broken Across The U.S. This Week, Including In The River Valley
Posted 9:00 am, October 2, 2019, by Tribune Media Wire, Updated at 09:03AM, October 2, 2019
Fall is here! 'Tis the time for cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice and… record-breaking 90-plus degree weather across the country!
Yeah, maybe those sweaters are going to have to wait.
Even though it's technically autumn, parts of the US are currently feeling some historic heat. There are 162 possible record highs and 164 record warm lows (aka the lowest temperature is warmer than usual) forecast across the country from Tuesday to Thursday.
In the Arkansas River Valley, the forecast calls for a temperature of 91 degrees, two degrees shy of the record of 93 degrees. It's possible the temperature will meet or beat that record today (Oct. 2).
On Wednesday, temperatures in New York City's Central Park could reach 90 degrees. According to the National Weather Service, there have only been five other recorded times when the area has seen 90 degree temperatures in October, and the last one was in 1941.
In Atlanta, where it's not as unusual to see summer heat overstay its welcome, they're looking at a different kind of record: Currently, the record in Atlanta is 90 days over 90 degrees in a calendar year. If every day between Tuesday and Friday hits the forecast 90 degrees, it would make 91 days over 90 in 2019. That's a new record level of hot. (The old record was set in 2011.)
Columbus City Schools in Ohio canceled all classes for Wednesday because of the heat and humidity. The forecast high is 91 degrees — 20 degrees above the average high temperature for early October.
The National Weather Service says the unusual heat will dissipate by the end of the week, and we'll start to feel a bit of that familiar fall chill.
While some areas have been hotter than a pumpkin spice latte, Montana was buried with record-breaking snow over the weekend. Browning, Montana got 48 inches of snow and Great Falls, Montana hit a new one-day September snow record with 9.7 inches. Weather is weird.
The unseasonable heat is part of a larger pattern of, you guessed it, climate change.
Shifting temperature patterns across the globe fueled several dangerous summer heat waves that broke records in Europe and the US. Another heat wave rolled all the way up from the Sahara to Greenland, where the high temperatures threatened the world's second-largest ice sheet.

This rather nice Adidas track top is an exact replica of one worn by Franz Beckenbauer back in the day. The minimalistic approach to sportswear is to be applauded as Adidas resist the temptation to put a huge logo over the front. There are a few Der Kaiser-inspired Adidas pieces knocking around at the moment, including the Beckenbauer trainers. Click here to buy the track top.


As a parent or family member, we know you have questions. About how well your student will be prepared for the future workforce. About how their experience will be on campus and in the classroom. And of course how an education from Cardinal Stritch University is an affordable private university. Here are some resources to help you determine whether Stritch is the right fit for your student and to help make their academic career a positive one.
Cardinal Stritch University began as a teaching institution for the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi in 1937. Today, Stritch offers more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs that help students develop new skills, gain career-related experience, and build professional networks.
Stritch is known as an excellent choice for studying business, education, liberal arts, leadership, nursing, and the sciences. Students with diverse faith and cultural backgrounds embrace and live our core Franciscan values of creating a caring community, showing compassion, reverencing creation and making peace. On campus, students cheer on our athletic teams, the Stritch Wolves, as they compete in 17 men's and women's sports. Students from all majors are engaged in artistic opportunities and participate in gallery exhibitions, theater performances and music concerts.
The University offers courses at our campus in the North Shore of Milwaukee, Brookfield, Madison and online. Undergraduate and graduate classes are also available through partnerships with technical colleges and employers.
The University consists of five schools and colleges: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Management, College of Education and Leadership, Ruth S. Coleman College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and the School of Continuing and Online Learning.
In addition to our full-time faculty members we also employ adjunct faculty who remain practitioners in their fields and provide highly skilled instruction. The average student-to-faculty ratio is 11-to-1. Stritch offers more than 60 undergraduate and graduate programs.
Students, families, and employers know Stritch as a university that helps students find their mission, develop new skills, gain relevant career experience, and expand their professional networks. With a network of more than 34,000 graduates, our alumni are successful in their roles at nonprofits, schools, small companies, health care organizations, corporations, and entrepreneurial ventures.
In the admission process, students must provide transcripts from each college or university attended. We will review the courses already taken to find out what will transfer to Stritch. Check out our guide that explains credit acquisition or view a list of institutions we partnered with to establish articulation agreements.
Applications for undergraduate admission are reviewed on a rolling basis. We encourage students to apply online, at no cost, to simplify the admissions process. Some academic scholarships require having an admissions application on file, and being accepted, to see if a student can qualify.
International students will need to submit additional information regarding language proficiency and obtaining a student visa. If helpful, note holidays and vacations on the academic calendar.


"Sheroo stop it.. come back!! Don't chase the cat…!", I vividly remember admonishing my youngest dog Sheroo, as he used to chase 'Meaow (a stray cat)' across my lawn and the vegetable garden for one whole year. But little did I know that I would end up grieving for him later.
While lazing in the shade and enjoying the few me moments with only my dog by my side, I saw the cat cross my garden, but it was limping badly. I tried to go near it but it got scared and limped away as fast its 3 legs could carry him. According to him I was not to be trusted. Here I was a dog owner, whose dogs never lost an opportunity to chase him. Why should he trust ME of all the people…?
Then after a month it suddenly happened. My husband had taken the elder two dogs, JW and Simba out in the garden to play and what do they find…!! A cat (Meaow) sitting bang in the centre of the garden and refusing to get up. He panicked and got the dogs inside not wanting a confrontation between both. We decided to let the feline be and took our dogs to our backyard. After that 'Meaow' maybe understood that we'll not be chasing it away and started resting under the ledge of my kitchen window. I would find him there every day. With the mercury rising to 42 degrees, I decided to keep some water/milk for him to drink, thus started our bonding. Now he wouldn't run away… either he decided to trust me or he was in lot of pain… either way it suited me fine as I could now feed him food as he had visibly reduced to half of his former self.
After 3 days he allowed me to stroke him and reciprocated back with deep purring, a raised tail and rubbing himself against my legs and back. Gradually I had the courage to cuddle him in my lap and he fitted in purrfectly, as if he belonged there. He was old…! Very old. Must have been somewhere between 15-17 yrs. He had only three incisors left, and his claws were either missing or broken at base. A combination of white, black and vandyke brown, light as a feather and beautiful as hell, he was very unique stray cat in appearance and had longish hair, like a Persian cat with flowing tail… He must have been an extremely majestic and handsome cat in his younger days, and to have survived so many years on streets as a stray is a wonder… A stray doesn't normally live up to being this old…!!
But there was a big problem….!! His leg had started to rot, and he had stopped grooming himself. With a cat it is bad news as cats are obsessive self groomers. He had lost control of bladder and bowels. Old age can be torturous for animals, specifically if they are strays. I took him to vet but his condition only worsened… though only silver lining was that he would recognize my voice and respond to his name 'Meaow', (that I had given him in our 20 days of friendship.) He had placed his full trust in me which was phenomenal, and learnt to ignore my dogs (who in turn had accepted him and had learnt to let him be)… Right from cleaning his wounds, to injections at the vet and having a bath he never objected and let me take care of him. In the mornings he used to rest inside the house and evenings he used to roam my lawn.
Then suddenly he started disappearing and I had to hunt him out for hours only to find him hiding in drains, or resting under bushed hiding away. His voice has become feeble and it was three days since he had eaten anything, not even water. He would go up till the water bowl, make a herculean attempt, and then walk away deciding not to drink. He had started to waste away. He couldn't even walk now, and his leg had rotted refusing to heal. And now came the hardest part… euthanizing him….!! He definitely did not deserve to die in a gutter like an unloved and a forgotten stray…! He deserved better. With all the love and trust between us, he deserved to die with dignity of a much loved pet, cuddled in the arms of his humans whom he loved and trusted in his final moments. And that's what he got. He crossed the rainbow bridge at 6:30 pm, on the Maha-Ashtami day, on 14th April 2016, cuddled safely in my arms, leaving us all in tears. He's at peace now and lies buried in my garden's flower bed, where he often used to sit in his last days, as if he had chosen that spot for himself.
If I ever have a cat again, then I want it to be you, so that I could love you more.
Rest in Peace 'Meaow'.. You deserve it.

I can't imagine a stray becoming that friendly that quickly. It sounds like a cat who had once been part of a family and had become abandoned or lost the last few years of his life. Lucky cat for finding a family to love him during his last year of life.
He was lucky to have been saved by you in his final days. And a kind hand and heart in his final days. Blessed.
That is true. Animals are considered family.
His last days were with love. You are a good person.
my this birth is dedicated to animals….
Such a sad story. It made me cry.
Sorry for your loss. When a cat is part of the family, it's a hard loss.
Sorry for your loss. At least his last moments were happy being with you, even if he was sick and maybe hurting. He didn't leave our world huddled in some drain with no one around to hold him. Thank you for blessing him with love in his final hours.
Yes, it made me cry. But I always think if an animal is going to die, better to be with someone who loves it, safe and looked after.

We are three teacher educators practicing selfstudy and reflecting on its value to our students while also exchanging our reflections with each other. As with artists who come together in schools of study in both individual and joint exploration, we hope that our collaborative inquiry will shed new light on our thinking and research in teacher education program reform efforts. Our intimacy and collaborative exchanges allowed us each to think more deeply about the personal as part of a community of self-study scholars. We are at a critical point in our careers where we strive for ethical and moral integrity in our research to practice efforts as we reflect and study our own teaching to better serve as a role model to our students. For a decade we have redesigned our teacher education programs. Although we do not work in the same university, each of us has tried to develop our research agenda based on a certain set of beliefs. To what degree has our research made a difference in our students' learning? What challenges and changes are similar and dissimilar across our programs? Each of us is involved in teaching, administration, selfstudy, and the development of innovative programs. How have we changed our teaching to be congruent with the program goals?

Monitoring Heavy Metal Contamination Using Rocky Oyster (Saccostrea glomerata) in Haiphong-Halong Coastal Area, North Vietnam
Q. D. Le 1

2 Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Vietnam
To understand the present status of metal contamination along the Haiphong-Halong coast, the concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn were seasonally determined in rock oysters from four sites during 2013. The results indicated that a high concentration of heavy metals was found in oysters. The average concentrations of Zn and Cu were extremely high, ranging from 823.6–3201.6 and 238.1–1597.8 mg/kg dry wt., respectively, followed by As, Cd, Pb and Cr with concentrations of 10.10–19.33, 3.53–12.74, 0.79–6.20, and 0.81–4.47 mg/kg dry wt., respectively. The highest concentrations of heavy metals, Cd, Cr, Pb and Zn, found in Dinh Vu were attributed to anthropogenic inputs. In addition, the runoff in the rainy season greatly influences the accumulation of heavy metals in oysters from Dinh Vu and Do Son. The maximum levels of Cd, Cu, Zn and As could be potentially creating toxicological concerns from human health point of view and rocky oysters from the polluted sites should not be consumed.

The Iditarod starts March 1st!! I think this will be the first year that we will try to follow it. The kids are getting excited!
I also have a list of resources for Alaska that I will be putting up in another post.
Also, you really don't HAVE to use books with most of these units. I always provide links with information about the topics. But the books are always too fun to pass up.
Many of those are also for Kindle.
Teachers Pay Teachers Some FREE!!!!!!
I just think the Iditarod is such a fascinating race. I didn't realize it starts on March first, I rarely hear much about it until it's over. Now I know to keep track of it too.
It does seem very fascinating! This will be our first year tracking it! I can't wait!
How are you ? Hope your weather is getting better..we are still having lots of winter and I am so ready for spring.ha.
Looks like you are really staying busy with home schooling. Wow…I don't know how you do all this.. amazing..
Miss your sewing projects.. hope you get to sew some this summer.. take care..
We have had the worst weather here. Lots and lots of ice and a huge tree down in the backyard. I am not quite ready for spring, though… That's tornado season around here. YILES!!!!!


Conservative Hindu leaders in southern India are seeking to prevent a monk from heading one of the country's most popular temples, saying he has become "impure" because he has travelled overseas.
The debate has divided Brahmins, or the priestly class, in the pilgrim town of Udipi, with those opposed to the monk seeking a local court to stall his anointment as the head of a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna.
Sugunendra Teertha, the monk, had travelled to the United States and Europe on, what he says, was a tour to propagate Hinduism.
But orthodox community leaders say he has committed "sagarollanghana", the Sanskrit term for crossing the seas, an act that they said defied a centuries-old tradition and left him impure.
Although hardly practised now, some conservative Hindu religious orders frown upon overseas travel because they claim religious scriptures make "crossing the seas" a sin.
Even Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of India's freedom movement, was excommunicated by conservative Hindu members of his Bania trading caste when he went to Britain to study law.
One of Teertha's main opponents, Vishweshwara Teertha, says the monk should not even be allowed to enter the temple's sanctum sanctorum, let alone head it.
But Sugunendra Teertha is defending himself.
"I have done no wrong," he said in Udipi, about 350 kilometres west of Bangalore, India's IT capital.
"Every part of the world is pure."

BERLIN (Reuters) - Annual inflation in Germany turned negative in January for the first time since the height of the global financial crisis in 2009, suggesting the euro zone rate could drop further and possibly vindicating the ECB's bond-buying programme.
Preliminary data on Thursday showed consumer prices in Europe's largest economy, harmonised to compare with other European countries, dropped by 0.5 percent on the year in January after rising by 0.1 percent in December.
That undershot the consensus forecast in a Reuters poll for a 0.2 percent fall. It also falls far short of the European Central Bank's target for close to but just under 2 percent over the medium term in the euro zone.
The fall in prices was largely driven by lower energy prices, while cheaper food also had an impact.
"Although the easing price pressures are largely due to low oil prices, the ECB nonetheless views this development with concern and should feel its latest decision to announce a bond buying programme was justified," said Viola Julien, an economist at Helaba bank.
Last week the ECB announced a government bond-buying scheme to pump hundreds of billions of euros into the sagging euro zone economy, as it tries to push annual inflation in the currency union back up to its target.
Benoit Coeure, a member of the ECB's Executive Board, said the ECB's government bond-buying programme would only end once inflation was converging towards 2 percent.
Preliminary inflation data for the 19-nation euro zone is due on Friday and economists polled by Reuters before the German data was released expected it to show the cost of living in the single currency bloc dropping by 0.5 percent in January after falling by 0.2 percent in December - its first drop since 2009.
But Marco Wagner, economist at Commerzbank, said the German data suggested the euro zone rate could slip to -0.6 percent. He added that the ECB could significantly increase the volume of government debt it buys per month in the second half of the year because inflation and growth are likely to remain weak until then.


Laughable things, depending on your outlook and or in some cases predicament, can either make your day or then again completely depress you by the same process.
I have recently heard from somebody that the pickaxe I had 'lent' him - although its has been so long (time-wise that is as opposed to the length of the handle) that I had forgotten about it to be honest - that he was going to return to me had either been mislaid, lent to a.n.other (!) or option C, perhaps even stolen, but full marks for letting me know this mind-numbing news/update - or not.
As we discussed this minor setback, we then tried the process of trying to work out when it was I was silly/dumb/stupid enough to lend him said pickaxe in the first place, as we (?) both seemed to think it was when Sir Jimmy Young was about (he used to do his BBC Radio 2 programme at lunchtimes in those days but after looking it up online, he left said programme in 2002, so it was perhaps before then) by working out what Jimmy was discussing or rather playing which record/track on his programme when he came to ask for the said pickaxe - I hope you are keeping up with this as much as I am - as it seems he was playing Don McLean's 'American Pie' at the time - we think.
The fact that he could remember this happening but was unable to remember where or who he had lent/whatever said pickaxe to is slightly baffling, if not downright bewildering, but this is life as we are experiencing it first-hand from the undiluted but seemingly caring imbecile.
However, despite this glitch, he had come to tell me this but he wondered (as you do) if I had a sledgehammer he could 'borrow' (for a few years, no doubt based on the last encounter) but I did point out that I did own one (in theory, at least) but I have lent it someone who wanted a pickaxe at the time, but as I didn't have one to hand then, he said he could or would 'make do' with a sledge hammer, hence I don't currently have a sledgehammer as it's 'on loan' until I hear word it's also (perhaps?) been either been mislaid, lent to a.n.other (!) or option C, perhaps even stolen.
I often wonder how tool hire companies survive or more to the point, how they manage to keep going.
After he left empty sledge-hammered, it was at this point I looked up the word 'irony' in my dictionary and knew I was on track, but I now look forward to some point in the foreseeable future (forever the optimist, me) to be reunited with my long lost, but borrowed initially, pickaxe and possibly sledgehammer, although I will point out they are not part of a matching set, but to be fair, I don't think I have any use for them any more, although they will come in handy should anybody wish to borrow such items.
Wandering into town on a nice bright, but chilly, morning, I was waylaid by somebody I know by sight but not on a personal level as in their name, date of birth, their blood group or gender at that present time or of any plans to change said gender if they have nothing else happening that week, so I was polite and said the usual stuff like I hadn't seen him in a while (true), he was looking rather well (true - also as much as one can gather by staring at someone for a few seconds) and how was he (debatable it would seem, if the following is anything to glean anything by) was generally.
I did point out at the beginning of the past paragraph that I don't know him at all either on a personal level, ever being asked to vote for him sight unseen or help him across the road - nothing - but he takes the lead in the conversation (?) as he then tells me: 'somebody - but I don't think you know him all that well - was asking after you the other week at such and such event as he hadn't seen you in a while and wondered how you were getting on..' and so on until you get the overall impression that perhaps the KGB had a local branch office and were still keeping up to date with their files, real or imaged, on me or perhaps this was a case of mistaken identity (hopefully..) although if they were in any doubt they could try the personal approach like, say, wandering up to me and asking me anything they were unsure of, real or imaged accepted, to clarify any possible issues or concerns they might have - as say what you like, if I can help anybody I will if I can.
Anyway, my new-found 'friend' whom I don't know - see the intro two paragraphs back - is still telling me amazing things about people that (yes, you may have guessed already by now) I don't know either, but at least I am gathering more 'news' about these folk that the likes of those on social media, who no doubt would give their spare sets of back-up batteries for their hand-held devices to know about, but to me its of no interest at all, as I just want to buy a new pair of windscreen wipers for the car, but presently just to get home would be nice.
As well as being a complete mine of useless information and distraction, he plays his ace card as then he poses or rather requires a question answered as he reads my column - the one you are reading now - regarding the assorted topics and subject matter as I must admit he seems quite well informed or has a good memory but bottom line is he is not getting out very much if my efforts give him some sort of 'feelgood' factor - he said.
You don't say, I thought.
I bluffed my way through that one but decided I wouldn't have to look up the word 'irony' in my dictionary any more, made my excuses as I nipped off, got my required windscreen wipers, then back to the sanctuary of my four walls and have a quiet but controlled relapse.
Years ago, my mum (Of the People for the People) had a friend, Beryl, who was a 'Trigger' type person as in the BBC sit-com 'Only Fools and Horses' and not to be confused with the cowboy Roy Rodgers's chosen mode of four-legged transport: one afternoon at Ward Towers, it came up in conversation, as mum said: 'Just what would the world be without irony?' to which Beryl said her husband Roy wouldn't have a decent shirt to go to work in without it, as he worked for the gas board as a meter reader in those days.
I now rest my case, the one I still have and have so far not lent out - yet.


You may have heard about the "intoxicated pelican" that has been making a splash in the news this week. Granted, it's not every day that a brown pelican crashes into the windshield of a car after being poisoned from a naturally occurring toxin found in algae blooms in California. This type of poisoning actually caused the invasion of frantic birds back in '61 that inspired Hitchcock's classic film The Birds.
But where is the buzz around the bigger story? Starving baby pelicans have been washing up on California beaches in disturbing numbers. Some are suggesting the emaciated birds are the result of a shortage of the sardines, anchovies, and other small fish on which pelicans feed. Perhaps pelicans will become the poster child of overfishing, the way polar bears are for global warming.
As for our tipsy friend in California? "She's hanging in there," said Lisa Birkle, assistant wildlife director at the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach.

Q: Parse Complicated String in JSON JAVA I have a very complicated String which looks like below,
"data":"[
         {
           "id": "123456",
           "from":
            {

               "id": "123"
             },

            "message": "isafh",

             }
           ],
           "privacy":
           {
                      "value": ""
           },
           "type": "photo",

         },
         {
           Similar data as above {... }
         },
       ]"
"next token":"1233"

Here all the JSON data is in the these brackets "[ ]" which are separated by the "{ ... }," braces.Here i want a the message,story and properties from all the curly braces.
tried two things one is two put again everything in a JSON object and also tried a useless attempt to match the regex "message:" but even that didn't work.
What is the way to find the message,story and properties from all the braces.

A: Regular expressions are not suitable for parsing complex data structures such as JSON or HTML documents. Lucky for us, there are fast, reliable and free libraries out there that do this job very well.
See json.org's solution for Java, or a list of other libraries that can parse JSON listed in json.org (scroll to the bottom of the page).
Parsing a JSON document with json.org's library is as easy as the following:
String json = "{ \"message\" : \"Hi, this is the value for the key \\\"message\\\"\" }";
JSONObject myObject = new JSONObject(json); // This line actually parses the JSON text
System.out.println(myObject.getString("message"));

A: Use a json library like google-gson https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/
This is a working example tested with gson-1.7.1.jar but it should work with the latest version as well.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    String jsonData = "{\"data\":[{\"id\": \"123456\",\"from\": {\"name\": \"ABC\",\"id\": \"123\"},\"message\": \"isafh\",\"story\": \"Best Story\",\"properties\": [{\"name\": \"By\",\"text\": \"PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN\",\"href\": \"www.xyz.com\"}],\"privacy\": {\"value\": \"\"},\"type\": \"photo\",\"created_time\": \"2013-10-24T07:17:28+0000\",\"updated_time\": \"2013-10-24T07:17:28+0000\"},{\"id\": \"122423456\",\"from\": {\"name\": \"ABCaasd\",\"id\": \"124233\"},\"message\": \"isafh\",\"story\": \"Best nice Story\",\"properties\": [{\"name\": \"By\",\"text\": \"PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN\",\"href\": \"www.abc.com\"}],\"privacy\": {\"value\": \"\"},\"type\": \"photo\",\"created_time\": \"2013-10-24T07:17:28+0000\"}],\"next token\":\"1233\"}";
    List<String> messages = parse(jsonData);
    for (String message : messages) {
        System.out.println(message);
    }
}

public static List<String> parse(String jsonData) {
    List<String> messages = new ArrayList<String>();
    JsonElement jsonElement = new JsonParser().parse(jsonData);
    JsonObject jsonTopObject = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject();
    JsonArray jsonArray = jsonTopObject.getAsJsonArray("data").getAsJsonArray();
    Iterator<JsonElement> iterator = jsonArray.iterator();
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        JsonObject jsonObject = iterator.next().getAsJsonObject();
        messages.add(jsonObject.get("message").getAsString());
    }
    return messages;
}

Please note that the json data that you provided had minor changes in order to be valid. For example wrapped in "{","}" to form a json object and also at the end of the data you have "created_time": "2013-10-24T07:17:28+0000",}, so the last coma has been removed.

Lack of exercise is, according to the world health organization, the epidemic of the 21st century. Century, at least in developed countries. In Germany, 80 percent of the children are moving to little, shows a current long-term analysis. Accordingly, the 6 spend – to 17-Year-olds per day, on average, less than 50 minutes with moderate-to-strenuous movement. Healthy at least 60 minutes according to the WHO.
The so-called "motor-Modul" (MoMo) analyses for twelve years, the movement habits of children in Germany. The representative study evaluates all three years, motor skills data from 4500 to 6200 children, adolescents, and young adults. Both the data of the same individuals are observed over a long period of time, as well as age groups compared with each other. In the project, scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of technology, Pedagogical University of Karlsruhe and the Robert Koch-Institut were working together.
The analysis shows: In the everyday life of children and young people move less and less. Accordingly, the physical activity in the 4 – to 17-Year-olds declined in the past twelve years, to 37 percent and by 31 minutes per week.
And, although there are so many children like never in sports clubs are active. About 80 percent of the children examined were already a member in a sports club. In addition, schools organize more sports activities. In the past twelve years, as well as sporting activities in schools and Clubs have increased by an average of 16 percent, which is equivalent to 25 minutes more exercise per week.
However, the organised Sport could not compensate for the lack of movement in everyday life, says sports scientist Alexander Woll, of the charge of the study.
This was not, however, due to the dramatic increase in media consumption: it is Amazing that I have not shown that physical activity and media use are directly related to each other. Say: children who play less, surfing or on social media, were not necessarily more, so wool.
Children were playing today, much less in the Free than in the past, calls wool a reason for the lack of movement in everyday life. They met on the sports field to Fight, run, or play ball. The older you are, the less young people moving. In addition, children and young people would need to travel by car to school or to leisure activities.
Striking is that the difference between the sexes had become, in the last six years. Girls, and especially girls from families with a low social Status, and sections on exercise, significantly worse than boys.
The motor skills of today's children are about ten percent worse compared to their peers 40 years ago.
Obese children move less than Normal or under-weight.
First long-term analyses show that overweight children in 70 percent of overweight adults.
In the past few years had indicated an improvement in motor skills, this has not continued in the current investigation period between 2014 and 2018. Overall, the motor performance has not deteriorated, however, also significantly. You are stagnating on a low level, according to the researchers.
As of Thursday, experts want to discuss during the Congress the "children" move, and which measures could counteract the increasing lack of exercise. Because the inactivity can have health consequences. Already, previous studies had shown that too little exercise and an unhealthy diet lead children to significant obesity. Currently, an estimated 124 million children worldwide as extremely thick.

A-Level 2021 Student Features: Raising the Bar
By Faith Ho (22A01A) and Mandy Wong (22S03C)
This year, Raffles Press invited eight accomplished Year 7s to share their experiences in JC. We hope that all of us can see a piece of ourselves reflected in their stories of leadership, service, and above all, resilience.
This is Part 3 of our A-Level 2021 Student Feature.
Claire Chan
The famous saying "Life is like a box of chocolates" could not have been more apt to describe Claire Chan's school life. For her, life was both vibrant and unpredictable; both sweet and sour.
Her journey started out with a rather bitter taste, though. When she was 12, Claire experienced a series of Transient Ischaemic Attacks (mini strokes) throughout her PSLE and eventually a full-blown stroke that rendered the left side of her body paralysed. It was only after working through intense physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy did she recover, finally being able to smile again after three months.
Nonetheless, despite the unexpected medical scare, Claire was able to bounce back quickly. This experience, especially at such a young age, impacted her significantly. Realising how privileged she was to have recovered, she strived to live a meaningful life, going on to pursue opportunities in a variety of domains, from sports to academic interests to community work, which formed the backbone of her JC experience.
Soccer and Cross Country were a huge part of Claire's school life. Not only were these CCA experiences crowned as the highlights of her JC life, but they also helped her become more confident and gain a greater sense of purpose and identity. Although sporting injuries at the beginning of Y5 and Y6 put her out of commission, she dedicated tremendous time and effort to catching up, frequently going to the stadium early by herself to train and continuing to practice Soccer drills after she reached home. Support from her teammates and coaches motivated her to remain strong so that she could make them proud.
Despite insecurities about her technical ability in Soccer, her persistence paid off—she received her dream position as a Winger and gleefully recounted scoring a goal for her team even with an injured ankle. "I really improved my understanding of myself, learnt to accept my weaknesses and discovered some talents that I had," she reflected. "I learnt to not just identify [some of my skills], but also accept that I had [these] skills without feeling bad about questioning my abilities or boasting. I realised that no one can be perfect and everyone has their own battles they are fighting, and that as long as I was doing my best to improve, I should not worry about what I do not have, but focus more on the skills I do possess."
Curious and enthusiastic about science, Claire enrolled in Biology Raffles Academy and chose to take H3 Biology in Y6. Apart from school-related courses, she also participated in and self-studied for various competitions on subjects such as ophthalmology and neuroanatomy—experiences that were "intense" but also incredibly fulfilling and helped "deepen [her] passion for the subject".
Throughout her JC life, Claire also involved herself in community service due to her heart for service and love for interacting with people. Besides participating in the end-of-year holiday programmes in Pathlight School, she joined the beneficiary engagement team of a non-profit group over the Circuit Breaker, where she engaged with families in rental communities facing loss of income and went beyond her call of duty in the project scope to better understand their difficulties.
Claire's passion for science-related subjects, emotionally connecting with others, and an intention to give back to "the community [of healthcare professionals] that [had] helped [her] so much growing up", ultimately translated into a decision to apply for courses like Medicine and Nursing. With a dream of working in healthcare, she expressed how she would like to "connect with people on a very personal level," "listen to their stories" and "help [them] protect and make the most of this precious life they have", especially after having experienced firsthand the preciousness and fragility of life from medical difficulties both personal and that of loved ones.
"There are times when you pick your favourite chocolate from the box—when you experience these moments you are just filled with joy and pride. […] However, you might just as well end up picking a chocolate you absolutely dislike […] These are the times when there is just so much to juggle and you feel suffocated by all the stress and expectations placed on you […] but such experiences strengthen you and make you a more resilient person. Bad chocolate is still chocolate after all, and isn't chocolate fundamentally delicious?"
When asked about tips she would give to juniors, Claire readily listed various pointers for managing schoolwork and in general, having a more fulfilling JC life. "Keep up with your tutorials and do them properly… they are like a 'first line of defence'," she advised. "Talk to people during breaks… because this time with your friends can never be regained. Don't be afraid to try new things because as clichéd as it sounds, the greatest failure is not trying. Lastly, always stay curious and ask questions, not just in class but in life in general. You might be surprised at just how much you can learn from listening to others and their unique experiences. I feel everyone is special and has a story that deserves to be told."
Her tenacity in facing her challenges reveals Claire to be someone who does not simply persist through difficulties, but is also shaped by them. Instead of roadblocks, these struggles became her motivation to pursue her passions, and fuelled her interest in helping others.
Claire gave a long list of people she would like to thank, including but not limited to: her best friend for being a constant pillar of support, her classmates from JC and Y4, her batchmates from CCAs past and present, her teachers and Soccer coaches (Mr. Leong, Mr. Man and Mrs. Chin) for their invaluable advice, Mr. Steffen Toh, her form teacher in 20S03E, as well as her family for their kind understanding and constant encouragement.
"And of course, I evidently love chocolate so I would like to thank chocolate for existing because eating it really makes me so happy," Claire added with a smile.
Leong Zi Wei
JC life is undoubtedly hectic. However, it was perhaps even more so for Leong Zi Wei, who had to juggle CCA, schoolwork and a job, all the while balancing health and sleep on top of it all.
Due to her family's financial circumstances, Zi Wei took on several jobs throughout her time in junior college, working on weekends as a cashier in Sanook Kitchen in Y5, before becoming a part-time teacher in KUMON and working at Hakka Tofu Bowl in Y6. Naturally, this occupied a large part of her time, and "took a toll on [her] mental health". She would often only be able to eat dinner after 9pm, reaching home at 10pm—and would still face a mountain of tutorials and assignments to complete.
Weekends and the nights after work would always be spent rushing through homework, all the while battling immense mental and physical fatigue. This constant need to be diligent and on-task really "burnt [her] out" until a respite came in the form of COVID-19.
"I always [strive] to be the best version of myself, [to improve] myself and [give] my all as I believe that 'If I were to give anything short of my best, I will rather not give it at all'," Zi Wei expressed when asked about what motivates her to make every effort. "This mindset really kept me going and pushed me to my limits to perform my best."
This assiduous outlook on her commitments eventually allowed her to not only cope well with her job, but also participate actively in various aspects of her JC life.
One such highlight would be joining Floorball. Having been interested in it since primary school, she was elated to join it in JC. Despite the difficulty of the sport alongside a "steep learning curve", she was able to pull through with the support of her teachers, friends and coach.
Zi Wei recalls how one of her most nerve-wracking yet memorable episodes during JC was stepping up as the goalie near the end of J1 from her previous position as a defender. "It was one of the toughest yet [most] fun experiences I had," she reflected.
She recounted what her floorball coach, Ms. Jill Quek once told her: "Don't idolise man, because man can fail you." This represented a pivotal shift in her perspective, and she realised that "the one person who cannot fail you is yourself". Rather than aspiring to be like a certain person, she strived to become the best version of herself. This was the mindset that kept her going and pushed her to do her best.
Apart from being physically active in floorball, Zi Wei also found herself drawn to Geography, as it "looks at the bigger picture and multi-faceted issues of different things" and she felt that "everything [she] learn[s] about Geography is really relevant and realistic". This prompted her to participate in the NUS Geography Challenge and the Talent Development Programme for Geography. As someone coming from a humble background, she also expressed interest in issues related to inequality, noting the extent of inequality in many facets of society, such as gender and socio-economic status.
Currently, she hopes to get into the Environmental Earth System Science (E2S2) course in NTU. Considering herself a realist, she said, "I remember Mr. Jason Lai once told me that the path to really do better financially is through education and that made me truly understand the importance of having a good education."
When asked about how she managed to keep up with all her work, she explained, "You really have to plan your time wisely and stick to the plan." She emphasised on the importance of dropping commitments and cutting yourself some slack when it becomes too much to handle.
"I think something that I am the most proud of is my life experiences. I think at the age of, currently, 19, I have really gone through quite a bit and these experiences that I have had, breaking down a lot, moving on from mistakes and juggling with many priorities at once are really valuable lessons that I can share with people. Like how to manage emotions, being able to relate and be empathetic to people is something that is rare and is something that is unique and true to me."
Having to manage her time between many heavy commitments undoubtedly made Zi Wei's JC experience tough and stressful. However, it was also during this time that she made the effort to pursue her interests, learning how to juggle multiple priorities. In the end, these experiences have truly given her valuable lessons and shaped her into the resilient person she is today.
Zi Wei would like to give a shout-out to the members of her support system: Yong Yi Ann (20S07C), her secondary school best friend who stuck with her throughout these two years, as well as her classmates Justin, Yong Kai, Christine and Zengyi for their immense support; Floorball friends Zhiyi, Ashley, Wen Xin, Phoebe and Cheryl, International Service Learning & Leadership Elective (ISLE) friends Max, Zhi Xuan and Celest; and her tutors Mrs. Galvez, Mr. Jason Lai and Mr. Benjamin Fong.

Hi which is better in overall sound quality in your opinion?
I wouldn't get IEM's for only home listening really, some are extremly comfortable but I prefer over-ear for comfort.
If you love micro detal, the HD650 isn't going to be your friend, in my opinion. Something like the Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro will fit your tastes much better.
Can aune m2+aune b1 amp drive the 300 ohm headphone in your opinion?
It should be able to power them ok, but there are better options.
What do you actually have, and what are you planning to buy?
I just have galaxy s7 edge for source and hd650 and my plan is buy a dap and portable amp..or an aune s6 desktop dac/amp to use in balance mode so can i use my phone as source?!!
M2s can be used as a portable player (if you get some IEM's for on the go use) and also a source at home (it has a line out toggle in the settings).
You can also hook it up to a computer and use it as a USB DAC, and the quality is excellent.
You recommend me o2 as amp..so can you recommend a dac too?
You don't need a DAC if you get the Shanling M2s, as it works as a DAC too.

Q: Array from set: why does NSSet use allObjects, while NSOrderedSet uses array? In Foundation, if I want to convert a set to an NSArray, I can use:

*

*-[NSSet allObjects]

*-[NSOrderedSet array]
Why are these different?

A: While there are other differences†, .allObjects does not imply a definite ordering, and .array does; and that's exactly what you are getting.

† .array returns a live proxy of the underlying NSOrderedSet, and if the underlying ordered set changes, the proxy will change with it.

A: Speculation, but:
Because when NSSet was created the only other major collection type was NSArray, which was (and still is, largely) the most common collection type.  So a method called "allObjects" would obviously return an NSArray.
When NSOrderedSet was added much more recently, it had to deal with the existence of prior collections - primarily, NSArray and NSSet.  So an "allObjects" method would be ambiguous.  Ergo it has two methods, -array and -set.
And/or, the -array and -set methods return proxies to what are likely the same or similar classes used internally.  So in a functional sense they're a little different - those proxies will see mutations made on the original NSOrderedSet.  -allObjects on the other hand does not - it genuinely creates an independent array, since its internal storage is likely a hashtable or similar that isn't readily proxied.

A: Also... The NSArray returned by 'allObjects' is a copy of the values in the set.
But the NSArray returned by 'array' is a proxy of the objects in the set.
Thus if you change the value of any object in the set, you will change the value of the object in the array. A copy of the ordered set is not being made. So the two properties have different names because they do different things.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 is an action video game developed by Omega Force and published by Bandai Namco Games for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. It is the sequel to One Piece: Pirate Warriors. Due to the success of the first game, the sequel was released the year following. It was released in Japan on March 20, 2013, Europe on August 30, 2013, and in the U.S. on September 3, 2013.

A sequel, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, was released in March 2015. And a fourth game, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, was released in March 2020.

Gameplay
The game no longer uses a canon story like the original. Instead it uses an original story that take place two years after the Straw Hats Pirates entered the New World. Battles have been changed to focus more on the warrior gameplay, and the player will have to fight through higher numbers of enemies than the previous game. The quick time events from the first game has been removed completely. The game also features a coin system, in which players can spend the money they earn from stages to level up new characters quickly, instead of training them from level 1.

One noticeable change from the previous game is how support is handled. Players can build up a support gauge throughout gameplay, and use it to go into "Style mode". When in this mode they have the option of temporarily switching characters, and playing as the new character until the support gauge runs out. Style mode also gives a different benefit depending on the characters used: "Armament" characters do more damage when attacking, while "Observation" characters effectively slow down time, while retaining their normal speed.

Characters
The game features a total of 27 playable characters, consisting of all 13 characters from the previous game as well as 14 new ones. As with the previous game, several NPCs appear as enemies.

* Denotes new characters

 Bartholomew Kuma*
 Boa Hancock
 Borsalino (Kizaru)*
 Brook
 Buggy*
 Crocodile*
 Dracule Mihawk*
 Edward Newgate (Whitebeard)
 Enel*
 Franky
 Jimbei
 Kuzan (Aokiji)*
 Marco*
 Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard)*
 Monkey D. Garp*
 Monkey D. Luffy
 Nami
 Nico Robin
 Perona*
 Portgas D. Ace
 Roronoa Zoro
 Sakazuki (Akainu)*
 Sanji
 Smoker*
 Tony Tony Chopper
 Trafalgar Law*
 Usopp

Soundtrack
There are 15 tracks along with the previous song from One Piece: Pirate Warriors, which also re-used again in this game.

Development

Reception

The game sold more than 410,000 copies on PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 combined in its first week in Japan, and managed to be the seventh most downloaded game in its first week on PlayStation Network in the United States. It has a score of 71/100 on Metacritic. IGN awarded it a score of 6.5 out of 10, saying "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 starts slow, but its over-the-top combat and personality redeem it in the end."

Q: Use HM-10 (Bluetooth LE) or ESP8266 for telemetry I am in the process of building a quadcopter, and I would like to send the telemetry from the device to my laptop wirelessly (wires are very inconvenient for debugging!).
I have several HM-10 BLE modules.
What attracts me in BLE is that it is fully supported by iOS, Android, Macs and modern PCs.
However, it looks like it is very slow (the original HC-10 module has default speed set to 9600), and from what I understand, the data packet is limited only by 20 bytes (so the telemetry data must be sent in binary, plus we cannot feed it much info, especially if it is in a floating point format)
Has anyone used these modules for sending telemetry information? Is it reasonable at all?
The only other option I have currently is ESP8266 module (I have esp-link firmware), which seems to be much faster in transfer speeds according to what I've read, but it seems to take a long time to boot (my MCU has already "started" and sending data, but the ESP is still connecting to the Wifi access point), plus it doesn't work "in the field" where there's no Wifi access points.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

A: BLE is much more power effiecient than WiFi. According to my experience with nRF chips vs ESP8266 difference is at least 5 times, closer to 10x when actively sending.
WiFi on the other hand provides higher bandwidth.
Connection issues you'll have at any rate, because BLE also has to find device and pair to it, albeit it's much faster than getting DHCP addresses and setting up a full-blown link. Setting up direct P2P connection with static addresses might speed up things for WiFi.
WiFi "field problems" are exactly the same as with BLE - both need somewhere to send data to. Most of the modern phones/laptops support both protocols, so you can set up an AP or BLE Central on phone and use that.
Basically it all boils down to amount of data you want to send versus amount of battery resource you're willing to pay for it.
P.S. you can send telemetry as ASCII as well, you just have to take into account that every digit takes a full byte. You can stuff your data into binaries and send them over Wifi as well in such a manner.

A: You don't mention what you want to do with the telemetry, we used two methods on a race car.
Firstly we created a control website on the esp8266 and mounted it on the vehicle where it communicated in real time with an onboard chip. The second method was to transmit serial data over wifi to a laptop and graph it in realtime in MATLAB. Both worked very well and reliably.

Demographic change shows that our population is getting older and older. The already high demand for geriatric treatment will therefore continue to increase, but at the same time the therapeutic and financial resources for good care are dwindling. The core of every care is the restoration of long-term and maximal independence as well as mobility of older people. This challenge can only be met with an increase in quality, not quantity. Efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of therapy are the variables that need to be regulated.
The result – the health status of the patient – is the measure by which medical-therapeutic quality across all sectors must be assessed.
In cooperation with our partner, inoges Holding GmbH, we have developed an assistive motion analysis system that is to be used in everyday therapeutic practice and to contribute to health advancement.
How healthy a person is can be seen in his motion dynamics. For orthopedic or geriatric patients, established assessment procedures provide information about the condition of a patient. Individual parameters such as step duration and step frequency are recorded.
With SmartVia we have succeeded in capturing the movement of a patient in their entirety by means of textile integrated sensors. Individual movement parameters of the lower musculoskeletal system are set in manifold relation to each other and provide information about symmetry, regularity and harmony of movement. These variables allow a holistic, objective assessment of the patient's state of health and help doctors and therapists in their daily work.
SmartVia is a simple application that can be integrated into the therapy process without additional effort. It informs all participants – patient, doctor, therapist and funding agencies – objectively and expediently about advances in the course of treatment and thus forms a valuable basis for further follow-up.
In the future, SmartVia will also serve to record therapy performance and results, thereby also contributing to a basis for more effective treatment models, because the therapy is increasingly geared to the needs of the individual and not only to the structural specifications of the funding agencies. Proof of objectively successful results also gives us the opportunity to discuss innovative and quality-oriented remuneration models with funding agencies.

Kiwi prop bucks the trend and heads to Sydney in deal with Tigers
Ben Matulino
Usually, it is the Kiwi players that opt to cross the Tasman and return to their homeland but in the case of Ben Matulino, he has made a decision to move to Sydney to experience the city and in the process, has signed a deal with the Wests Tigers.
The Tigers, desperately needing a forward given the impending departure of current captain Aaron Woods, have signed Matulino until the end of the 2020 season.
A long-serving player at the New Zealand Warriors, he has been a fan favourite and a consistent player for the club and they issued the following statement regarding his departure at season's end:
The Vodafone Warriors have confirmed tonight that prop Ben Matulino has informed the club he will depart at the end of the season to join the Wests Tigers.
The 28-year-old made his 197th NRL appearance in his first outing of the season in the Vodafone Warriors' Anzac Day encounter with the Storm in Melbourne tonight.
The long-serving Matulino, who is returning from an injury lay-off following knee surgery, informed club management at the weekend that he had decided to take up an offer from Wests Tigers. He said he wanted to experience living in Sydney with his family and felt he couldn't turn down the offer.
Matulino told football staff and his team-mates of his decision in the dressing room after tonight's match.
He said his focus is on finishing his last season with the Vodafone Warriors on a high after starting his NRL career with the club in 2008.
The Vodafone Warriors wish Matulino and his family all the best for the future."
A Kiwi international, the signing will give the Wests Tigers some much-needed experience in the forward pack.
"Ben has proven himself as an elite front rower in both the NRL and International arena," said Tigers coach, Ivan Cleary. "We welcome Ben as an integral part of Wests Tigers' future."
"We welcome Ben as an integral part of Wests Tigers' future."
Also pleased to bring such a high-quality signing on board is Wests Tigers CEO, Justin Pascoe.
"Ben has been a part of the Warriors and Kiwi squads for a number of years and has shown himself to be a leader both on and off the field," said Pascoe.
"We look forward to him bringing his experience to Wests Tigers for the coming three seasons.
"It's great to have a player of Ben's experience, both in the NRL and International arenas, decide to commit his future to Wests Tigers," he said.
Tenacious competitor opts to leave the Dogs and join the Tigers


A mob of 50 Muslims attacked and beat a group of Christians protecting their church in Pakistan, breaking the arm of a 10-year-old boy in the process.
International Christian Concern said the attack occurred on Aug. 2 at Waran Chak Balyana village in Kasur, and was sparked by a church property dispute.
Bashir Masih, one of the victims, explained that the Muslims, led by a man named Mukhtar Ahmad, wanted to take control of disputed land, where close to 40 Catholic families are building their church, called St. Mathew's.
The Christian families have been constructing the church using their own money, but Ahmad has been targeting them by trying to cultivate the land, and by making derogatory remarks against the church.
After another such dispute on Aug. 2, Masih said, "Ahmad's armed companions attacked the Christian men, women, and children with arms and sticks. They left two seriously injured and other with minor injuries. The mob stoned the under construction church as well."
The two seriously injured youth included 18-year-old Anand Masih, who needed eight stitches on her lips, and 10-year-old Sagar Masih, who needed medical treatment after his left arm was broken.
Another local, who wasn't named, accused police of refusing to register a First Information Report against the Muslim group.
"When the Christians complained [to] the police about the attack, the police officials ordered them to keep quiet and avoid mentioning it as a religious issue. ... The police were unfair in the matter," the local said.
Muslim mobs have injured Christians in attacks on churches and services on several occasions this past year, including back in March in the Sahiwal district of Punjab province. Twenty Muslims with axes and sticks attacked a morning service at the Pakistani Gospel Assembly church, severely beating a number of the men, while some of the women were slapped and children were kicked.
Christian women often bear the brunt of religious-based violence in Pakistan. In April, Pakistan Today reported that a 25-year-old believer from the Punjab city of Sialkot died after she was set on fire for refusing a Muslim man's marriage proposal.
The horrific attack left the woman, Asma Yaqoob, with burns covering 90 percent of her body. Doctors' efforts were not enough to save her, despite her family traveling hundreds of miles to find good treatment.
"They did everything they could possibly do. This family will have a lot of trauma to work through and they are in shock. It is hard for anyone to see the life of a loved one so young and full of talent snuffed out," British Pakistani Christian Association officer Mehwish Bhatti said at the time.
Shamoun Qaiser, a former legislator, told ICC about the latest attack, "The government officials think that religious freedom means celebrating Christmas and Easter eves only, however it's much more than going to churches and celebrating events."
Qaiser added: "During [the] last decades, our social fabric has been torn in such a way that the space for religious minorities has been reduced. Our kids in schools face discrimination on the basis of religion. The church [property] graveyards are often grabbed with impunity. One could only hope for the good time. However, attacking a poor and downtrodden segments of the society should be condemned."

Like make(1), ikiwiki knows about dependencies between the files that it is building, and will rebuild a file if its dependencies change.
I've always known that it was possible to greatly reduce the amount of work ikiwiki does, if it gets smarter handling of different types of dependencies. It would be as if make knew that changes to comments inside header files did not change the resulting binary, and avoided rebuilding it for such a change -- but did rebuild the doxygen documentation. Except that, in ikiwiki, this can be done sanely, since it figures out the dependencies by examing the wiki's files, not by using a Makefile.
Also, there were some nasty bugs with certian complex dependencies not being handled right. Fixing one of them, the transitive dependency problem, would require ikiwiki doing significantly more work. So fixing all this has been on my todo list for a while.
Though when I mentioned "transitive dependencies" at the ikiwiki BOF @ DebConf, eyes glazed over. :) And I expect I've lost most of my readers already here too.. Which is a pity, because I've just gotten to the fun stuff.
So, a few (how many?!) days ago I started my current insane hackfest, and began adding dependency types into ikiwiki. The first special type was a presence dependency -- a dependency that only cares if a page is created, or deleted, but does not care about changes to the page. Next type was a links dependency -- a dependency that only cares if the page changes what pages it links to.
That was great, except it often didn't work. For features like gathering "posts/*" together into a blog, or displaying a tag cloud of "tags/*", ikiwiki uses a PageSpec. This is a small, domain specific language, that can specify a set of pages with lots of control. For example, "(index or backlink(index)) and created_after(oldpage)".
The problem is that when using a PageSpec like the one above in a presence dependency, it doesn't only matter if pages are added/removed. Certian changes to "oldpage" or "index" can also change what it matches.
So now, I had this PageSpec DSL, that I needed to somehow analyise to find these influences. While thankfully not turing-complete, parsing it to extract the influences would still be annoying.
The match_* functions return IkiWiki::SuccessReason or IkiWiki::FailReason objects. These objects are special in a lot of ways; they act like boolean values most of the time, but if viewed as a string, you get a user-understandable message saying why the pagespec didn't match. And when ANDed or ORed together, they build up a list of influences, that can be accessed at the end to get all the influences for the whole pagespec.
Anyway, this stuff should be available in an ikiwiki release just as soon as I've finished making it smoking fast.


For many fiancées or wives, engagement rings are their pride and joy, but one woman believes the jewellery is anti-feminist.
Matilde Suescún, a media strategist and writes for BBC 100 Women, says engagement rings prevents women from becoming independent.
Twice-divorced and currently living with her partner, Matilde – who has a daughter from a previous marriage – says she married her two ex-husbands after making a mutual decision rather than a proposal.
She writes: "I have been married twice in the past, and may marry again, but I have never had or wanted an engagement ring.
She continues: "The whole ritual of proposing marriage bothers me. The pantomime of a man kneeling down and asking for a woman's hand seems absurd to me.
Matilde insists women should seek happiness for themselves, instead.
She says: "I am concerned that society and the media seems to educate girls to dream, from when they are young, about the man who, to quote Beyonce, will 'Put a ring on it'. And those girls then grow up with this idea that married life will then solve all their problems.
Of course, not everyone chooses a traditional marriage path, including one woman who hit headlines last year when she married herself.
Ariana Grande's reportedly returned hers, but who should keep the engagement ring after a split?

2019 Redmond Barry Fellows announced
Dr Nanette Carter and Robyn Oswald-Jacobs were recently announced as the 2019 joint recipients of the Redmond Barry Fellowship at a ceremony held at the State Library of Victoria.
The Fellowship, named after Sir Redmond Barry (1813-1880), a founder of the University of Melbourne and the State Library of Victoria, is awarded to scholars and writers to facilitate research and the production of works of literature that utilise the collections of the two institutions.
Nanette and Robyn's project examines Frances Burke's importance in Australia's design and cultural history, highlighting her textile design and role as a champion of modernist design from the late 1930s. While Burke's work has been included in exhibitions on modern design, there has been no significant survey exhibition of her work. The project will bring Burke's work to a new generation, and will result in a monograph commissioned by Thames & Hudson and an exhibition at Heide Museum of Art focusing on Burke as a leading Australian textile designer.
