A life dedicated to raising
and supporting vital issues.
So life doesn't always turn out as planned! It certainly didn't for me. I'm a graduate in civil engineering. I'm someone who has possessed (for ever, it seems) a drive and a work ethic that is restless, relentless and all-consuming. Once upon a time, I worked sixteen hours a day, seven days a week, as director of a major company. And then all of a sudden I didn't. More here...
At the age of 26, I just hit a brick wall running.
Really hit it. I was engulfed by familial, legal, personal and work related problems any one of which would have taken every last ounce of my physical and emotional strength to handle. Yet they all came together. They crashed through the ceiling on top of me, and I was pinioned underneath, rendered powerless and immobile from the weight and the pressure, and incapable of helping myself to find a way out.
I'm 31 now.
It's taken me four years to restore some order and calm to my life
It has been a strange journey, and life before my breakdown was (for me) an extraordinary and exhilarating adventure.
My life has changed completely now and I love that too. I am passionate about certain issues and this is my new platform. I intend to comment, where I can and support the issues that matter to me. That's violence against women and girls: but also therapy, psychotherapy and our attitudes to, and perception of, mental illness. On asset-stripped, down-sized, ethics-free corporate culture and its impact on people and society. And on what possibilities exist for creating healthier, happier lives & communities.
Which, considering my background, is fairly apt.

Faking it: 6 ceramic tile designs that will give you the look of wood
Light-colored, wood-look ceramic tiles are a practical choice for basements, which can be prone to moisture.
By Emily Myers
Hardwood is the material of choice in NYC and while flooring and other manufacturers have been offering imitations for years, recent advances in inkjet and digital printing have resulted in some great pretenders. You can get ceramic tiles with grain and texture that will give you the look and feel of wood with more durability.
One interior designer gives credit to Joanna Gaines of "Fixer Upper" on HGTV who highlighted a rustic wood paneling called shiplap, for sparking interest in viewers who wanted an easy way to replicate the look.
Wood-look ceramic tile is "fun and playful, and you can get it at a wide array of price points. It's now very ubiquitous from Home Depot to a high-end tile shop," says Betsy Helmuth, owner of Affordable Interior Design. That might explain why you are seeing it popping up in listing photos for NYC apartments.
"It is great in a place where you can't use wood, like a basement or a beach house, somewhere that gets a lot of humidity or a lot of wear, or where the moisture might impact real wood," says Helmuth. The remodeled basement of a Chinatown duplex (pictured above) is one example.
It can work in a bathroom if it doesn't bump up against real wood.
Another application is for a bathroom, though Helmuth warns against having the wood-look tile too close to real wood flooring. "I don't like the juxtaposition of the real with the fake. In my mind, it is one or the other," she says.
The tile looks very convincing in listing photos but in person, it's clearly not wood. While Helmuth says that's not something that should put buyers off, mixing the two will highlight the difference.
"It does look like tile, you can see the grout lines between the pieces, which is very unlike real wood. On its own, it can be lovely and it can be a really nice statement," she says.
If you're looking for a classic, Helmuth suggests you're better off with a marble-hex tile or subway tiles but it can be a fun spin on wood and it's practical if there's any risk of moisture damage.
Below, six wood-look tiles for your next interior design project.

Women stand a higher risk of being affected by diseases more than men and children. This is caused by their biological features and processes that mostly expose them to diseases. Research has shown that more diseases affect women more than men and children. This has led to the need of the rise for more medical research and programmes that deal with women's health. These activities aim at ensuring that most women's diseases are dealt with. There are a number of programs that are being run by governments worldwide to ensure that all the health issues that affect women are dealt with.
One of the programs that ensure the health issues of women are addressed include the U.S Women's Health Alliance. This alliance undertake activities such as mobilization and awareness campaigns to women around different parts of the world. Women get privileges from such organizations in the form of value-based health care. Women get preventive measures tips from such awareness campaigns, and this helps in maintaining the food health of women.
Maternity seasons expose women to more risks of becoming infected with diseases. Maternal care is important during such periods for women. A woman in her pre-partum and post-partum episodes should ensure that they get intensive maternal care. Maternal care has a lot of health benefits to the woman which lasts a long time.
It is advisable for women to join alliances that deal with women health. Women's health alliances are suitable for women since they learn about their health and get knowledge on how to live healthily. Alliances help women to stand up for their health to ensure that their health rights are met in health facilities. Women associated with the health alliances help other women to get the best medical care. Women's healthcare organizations also help women to access medical care from any part of the world without having barriers.
Women health has also been improved through the funds that are raised and set aside to fight the diseases that affect women. Women's health has really improved since the setting of the projects that have been successful. The desire by women to live healthy has encouraged them to seek medical advise from relevant personnel.
Medical schools are also training doctors to specialize in women health. Women health can be handled easily due to the rise of the doctors that have specialized in women health. Women are advised to visit these specialists to ensure that their health is checked all the time. Women can maintain their health by ensuring that they have healthy lifestyles and regular physical exercise. It is important that women give their health a priority.

UN Envoy Urges Concessions to Save Yemen Peace Talks
Written by Fakhri Al-Arashi
The UN special envoy to Yemen on Monday urged the country's warring parties to make concessions to save peace talks aimed at ending a devastating 13-month war.
The appeal by Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed came after face-to-face talks broke off with the government delegation complaining of a lack of progress and the Houthi rebels protesting about air raids by the Saudi-led Arab coalition.
After holding several separate meetings with each delegation, Ould Cheikh Ahmed called on the two sides to "make concessions in order to strike a comprehensive peaceful solution" to end Yemen's deadly conflict.
"The participants in the Kuwait negotiations must reflect the aspirations of the Yemeni people. I am confident that Yemenis want an end to the conflict," he said in a statement.
All direct meetings scheduled for Sunday were called off, but the UN envoy said new talks are scheduled for Monday and appealed for cooperation.
The two delegations also met with Kuwait's Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah and ambassadors of the 18 mostly Western countries backing the talks in a bid to bring the Yemeni foes back to the negotiating table.
Yemen's foreign minister said the talks which began on 21 April made no headway.
"For the sake of peace, we have accepted all proposals submitted to us in order to progress," said Abdulmalek al-Mikhlafi, who heads the government delegation.
"But after three weeks, we have nothing in our hands because the other party backed down on its commitments," Mikhlafi wrote on Twitter.
The rebels issued a strong protest to the UN envoy over alleged air raids Sunday by Saudi-led Arab coalition that they said left several people dead, according to a source close to their delegation.
There was no immediate confirmation of the reported air strikes.
The rebels and their allies have demanded the formation of a consensus transitional government before forging ahead with other issues that require them to surrender arms and withdraw from territories they occupied in 2014.
The talks, which come after two failed attempts in June and December last year in Switzerland, are based on UN Security Council resolution which orders the rebels to withdraw and surrender heavy weaponry they had seized.
There has been mounting international pressure to end the Yemen conflict that the United Nations estimates has killed more than 6,400 people and displaced 2.8 million since March last year.

Farrah Abraham's Description of How Her Dog Died Is Devastating
farrah__abraham/Instagram
Nicole Pomarico July 24, 2018 at 12:37 PM
Last week, Teen Mom OG fans were shocked when Farrah Abraham's dog died , and they were so upset when she posted a video of her and Sophia grieving over Blue, their 5-year-old Pomeranian. But now that we have more details about the story, it sounds like this situation just keeps getting worse. Apparently there's a chance that Sophia is responsible for the dog's death, and this new information is pretty horrifying.
From the original story, it sounded like the dog was found dead after he went outside to use the bathroom, but it sounds like there was more to it.
sophialabraham/Instagram
As RadarOnline pointed out, on Sophia's Musical.ly account, she wrote, "I was getting Blue to go outside and my only choice was to toss him outside. And then I did, but he went into shock and 30 seconds later he passed with no heartbeat."
To us, that sounds like Sophia might have been accidentally responsible for the dog's death by her own account, and Farrah is trying to clear up the situation.
While talking to Radar, Abraham said that Blue's death wasn't so much because of the tossing, but because he was stressed.
"Blue and our other Pomeranians have been stressed from construction at our building," she told the site."With a collapsing trachea issue we have been treating for two months, stress adds to this. Blue actually went limp as Sophia picked him up, as he was having anxiety again because of construction and didn't want to go to the bathroom on the balcony."
Farrah said everything happened so fast.
"Since the crate and balcony door were in the way, she had to pick him up and put him in the right direction to go outside like every other day. Blue's body was already in shock.This literally happened in seconds," she said.
She also added that the vet said that Blue's trachea had likely collapsed and that was why he died, which makes sense if he was struggling with trachea issues already.
And as for Sophia's comments on Musical.ly?
Farrah is chalking that up to Sophia being traumatized by what happened and unable to find the right words to say, adding that she shouldn't be blamed here. She also dropped the not-insignificant detail that they're having Blue stuffed so that Sophia can keep him forever.
No matter what happened, this whole situation is really hard to digest. Losing a pet is devastating, especially to a child, so the least we can do is keep allowing them to grieve instead of trying to point fingers.


This is the real side of mommiehood...in the midst of packing for a trip, I decided to film a quick video of what I was packing for my 6th month old. I thought that this would be helpful, even though it's a spur of the moment taping. My hope is another mommie finds this helpful and useful!

Andrew Lohse and the Rise of the Frat Bro Feminist
You've probably heard of Andrew Lohse, or at least about what Andrew Lohse has told you about being excessively hazed by the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon , the fraternity he was part of at Dartmouth College . Lohse got famous in 2012 for publishing a tell-all about the disgusting antics he and his fraternity brothers took part in and now he's written a book about it called Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy. The title is accurate: there are lots of frat boys in the book but very few women. So why is Andrew Lohse being heralded as a "frat boy turned feminist"?
Lohse has been everywhere lately, promoting his book as authors do. Several of his pieces and interviews, like a heavily touted article in Cosmopolitan and another profile with Mashable, proclaim Confessions as Lohse's coming out party as a feminist, and according to the quotes available, they'd be right. In Cosmo's September issue, Lohse wrote that even when he first started pledging his SAE, he "sensed that there was something fucked up about the misogyny associated with" the fraternity, "from bros calling girls sluts and slampieces, to their tireless efforts to get girls drunk and hook up with them, only to speak degradingly of them later. My frat's basement was spray-painted with the words FLETCH HATES WOMEN. It was a predatory conspiracy."
Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy: A Memoir
In the Cosmo piece, Lohse goes to explain that "hazing warps guys' concept of consent," which, reading his book, is quite clear. He and his fellow pledges didn't really consent to anything; one could argue quite readily that they're pushed into every disgusting activity they take part in, from sitting in tubs of liquid consisting of a mix of each other's bodily fluids and solids to eating the much of the same stuff.
Mashable's profile of Lohse follows this line of thinking:
Lohse is a frat boy turned feminist, though he shies away from being defined by any particular political movement. He is sensitive when talking about Greek life and the problem of campus sexual assault.
"If being a feminist means speaking up about these issues and equality," he says, "then you could call me that."
But in Lohse's book, women don't appear much at all, and sexual assault is barely discussed. Lohse's first mention of rape occurs briefly, at 33 pages in. He's discussing a test SAE made him take as part of the Rush process:
"What course of action would you take in each of the following situations? Explain your reasoning briefly. You may utilize the reverse of this sheet if necessary.
A. One of your pledge brothers admits to you that he slipped Rohypnol into a young lady's alcoholic beverage. He proceeds to engage in sexual intercourse with said lady.
B. You notice that one of your pledge brothers is gaining significant weight over the course of the pledge term. He begins to have issues with his body image.
C. A pledge brother becomes involved in the trafficking of an illegal substance across state borders. The substance is cocaine. His dealings become increasingly risky. He is thinking of moving on to 'harder' drugs."
Looking around the clearing, I saw that most of the pledges were obviously unsure what to answer. Were these things that might happen? Were they just fucking with us?
For the rest of the book, date rape drugs and rape barely enter the picture. It's not until page 285 – out of 303 pages in the book – that Lohse mentions people he knows who experienced sexual assault explicitly, in an explanation of his final come to Jesus moment about turning his back on the frat:
Then when I was done feeling sorry for myself I'd call up Wallace and depledge Sigma Alpha Epsilon and try to forget all the animalistic bastards who'd made me chug vinegar and vomit until the blood vessels around my eyes burst into little red dots that resembled some sort of rare tropical malady. I'd finally talk about how I'd come forward to the administration, and how, in my opinion, they hadn't done much to address hazing. I'd finally talk about how disturbed I was that I needed two hands to count all of my friends who'd been raped at Dartmouth. I'd purge myself for weeks, take along trip, give up, maybe apologize to some people, find a way to atone.
Lohse has girlfriends, but we don't see much of them; they seem to serve as barometers for how deeply he's fallen into the fraternity pit. One relationship with a girl named Blair he says he was "pretty much in love with" ends because he's such a mess. He also dates Caroline, a girl who does as much coke as he does and seems much more comfortable than Blair is with the person he's become because of the fraternity. But we don't hear much about them or really any other woman; in this book, women dance around the edges of parties and wear pearls and cute outfits and basically exist as window dressing.
When I interviewed Lohse and asked him about the discrepancy between his book and the pieces and talks he'd done since, Lohse said the complaint that women didn't feature much in the book was one that'd he gotten "from a couple of people." He has a good answer for why that is: he wanted to focus specifically on his own observations in Confessions, not the realizations he had later.
"I wanted to stick really tightly to my exact experiences, as they were happening, as they unfolded," he said. "I thought it would be dishonest to imprint my current understanding too much on those events as they happened."
But the bigger reason comes later. "I didn't have a whole lot of direct knowledge about these issues as an undergrad, other than hearing from my female friends," Lohse says about sexual assault, adding that he "didn't want to speak for the women, my friends, who had had these issues." In that way, Lohse is the happy product of an environment that, because of a combination of student activists and media coverage, has slowly opened itself to understanding sexual assault, especially as it exists on college campuses. He told me something I've felt myself: when he graduated only a few years ago, this stuff wasn't talked about as much as it is now.
And it's because of those stories that Lohse now believes that it's impossible to talk about fraternities without talking about sexual assault.
If taken as a straightforward memoir-as-cautionary-tale, Lohse's book falls flat, leaving you with only a feeling of hollowness and the lesson that if you drink too much, yes, bad things will happen. As is the case with other coverage of frat life, what you can miss from a quick read of Confessions is a semblance that there's more than some stupid boys damaging their livers here. There are many, many women who are hurt by fraternity culture, in that many frat boys consider women "objects, or a commodity that would be imported into the basement for a party," in Lohse's words.
But his work since seeks to broaden that perception. Lohse says he's "generally forward-looking" and doesn't dwell much on rethinking his past relationships, sexual or otherwise. Instead, he'd like to draw a connection between fraternity culture and sexual assault, and about how hazing warps the way men understand consent at an impressionable age. Fraternities are about power and hierarchy, and rape is certainly about the same.
"Women were not an afterthought in my life," Lohse argues, but, later clarifies that, "To a fraternity itself, women are an afterthought." He explains that in his experience, when people who don't belong to the frat (often women) enter a frat house, they're subject to the same "pseudo-sexual dominant/subordinate" dynamic the pledges are subjected to.
And Lohse doesn't stop there: while his book might not cover sexual assault, he's being included in the conversation about these issues – though he makes it clear he doesn't want his voice to be the loudest one in the room. He was part of the much buzzed about panel on The Diane Rehm Show this week, the one where the former President of George Washington University Dr. Stephen Joel Trachtenberg put his foot in his mouth and then proceeded to leave it there. Lohse says he was wholly disappointed in Trachtenberg's comments, but also just in who is being called on as experts when it comes to sexual assault.
"What bothered me too was that there was only one woman on that panel. What license do four men of those ages have to talk about this?" he says.
Are there other men like Andrew Lohse? He seems to think so – or hopes that he can encourage them in that direction. "One of the questions that needs to be raised is, what kind of men go through this and become successful? What kind of men are they?" he asks of the former frat boys like him (or not like him) who go on to rise through the ranks of business and politics. If you're anything like what Andrew Lohse seems to want you to be, read Confessions. Then do like he did, and move on from there.

A man spotted a cat wandering alone near a road-stop off the highway. The scrawny little kitty stuck her head out of the tall grass as he drove by.
Davy Gallant from Québec, Canada, was on his way home with his son Toby when they noticed a cat by the road. She was just skin and bones. "There are only eight houses on the 5km (3-mile) road… Not much traffic. As we always do when we see thin, shabby looking animals by the road, we stopped," Davy told Love Meow.
This is not the first time Davy found an abandoned animal in the area. He has rescued a number of cats and dogs over the years, including his previous cat CousCous who was with his family for 14 years before her passing.
The moment Davy stopped his car, the little stray came running, begging for attention and pets.She was extremely affectionate, purring non-stop.
The kitty had spoken, so Davy and his son brought her home. They named her Barley.
Barley hadn't eaten a proper meal for so long that she could hardly swallow food. "We wetted some nibbles to soft them up. She was starved," Davy said.
Barley was covered in fleas. The family bathed her in warm water and used tweezers to pick off the ones that couldn't be washed off. Several days later, the kitty was finally flea-free.
She was always in someone's lap and never wanted to be alone again.
"We thought she was three months old but the vet looked at her teeth and said she was at least 6-7 months. She'd been malnourished for a long time.
"We couldn't believe it. She was the size of a tiny kitten, and she's still very small," Davy told Love Meow.
Three months after they found her, Barley blossomed into a gorgeous fluffy cat.
"Her life now is great… She shares the house with the family, Kinoa the cat, Bella (a rescue dog) and Maika the Munsterlander," Davy told Love Meow.
"The day before we found her, my daughter asked if we could go look at cats," Davy told Love Meow.

Uber, being released March 2009 has changed the way people think of a Taxi and Transportation services worldwide. Despite the fact it's on the market for 7 years — market there is still pretty competitive. Things that matter are the quality of the services (such as price, cars quantity, on time delivery) and the usability of the application itself. Also, you should not forget that we are basically talking about 2 apps instead of 1, as there is one app for a driver and the other one that is used by passengers. To keep things under control you would also need a web based admin dashboard.
I will provide you with the information about Uber's features, the way it works, time estimates and some interesting facts. In the end of the article, you will receive clear infographics with all the numbers needed to get a full pricing picture.
Every user should be able to register in the app. Some Uber-like apps require your phone number from the very start, some of those allow you to register via Facebook or any other social networks, and some require your email address, etc… The good manner would be to implement all the features listed above.
Efforts in hours: iOS 40-46, Android 36-42, Backend 16-20.
Once your app lets you in — it's time to use it. What is the main use of the mobile taxi app for passengers? Correct — summon a cab to the location needed and make a trip to the desired place. This includes: from → to location selector, booking request, waiting and confirmation.
Efforts in hours: iOS 78-84, Android 72-78, Backend 24-36.
There is nothing free in the world we live in, everything has its cost (for sure you can argue with me and feel free to do that in the comments to the article). If you want to use some taxi service as a passenger — you will probably need to pay some money for a trip. In the modern world where payments are not limited to the cash exchange taxi app will need to know how to manipulate with all the payments done. Integration with the payments systems will be required on the backend part of the app.
Efforts in hours: Backend 32-40.
The сashless approach is becoming pretty popular nowadays. That's an easier and faster way to pay. Uber allows you to put in your card (or a list of cards) just once to charge it later automatically without any extra moves. For sure there is always an option to pay with cash.
Efforts in hours: iOS 36-52, Android 34-40, Backend 24-30.
Should the passenger pay? But how much? Fare Calculator answers the question, allowing to calculate the actual trip cost before the ride itself happens.
Efforts in hours: iOS 16-20, Android 14-18, Backend 18-24.
An option to track the coming cab on the map via GPS services is pretty useful and comfortable, and it's actually the way to plan your time efficiently.
Efforts in hours: iOS 46-50, Android 40-46, Backend 24-32.
Receiving push notifications from the application, while it's opened or it's running in the background is essential, as no one wants to miss his car or any other important information. We shouldn't forget about SMS notifications. Uber taxi booking app works with Twilio telecommunication service provider. You may always choose from any other global providers such as Sinch, Plivo, Nexmo or take a look at your local one.
Efforts in hours: iOS 22-28, Android 22-28, Backend 16-24.
Sweet memoirs, an option to reuse your common trip locations in a few clicks or just the way to recall the places you've visited yesterday (after a solid hangover). Sounds user-friendly.
Efforts in hours: iOS 40-46, Android 36-42, Backend 20-28.
Review and rating option plays a huge role in the transportation segment. It gives an extra motivation for the drivers to perform well while allowing passengers to make some choices and predictions to increase their satisfaction of the trip and the service overall.
Efforts in hours: iOS 38-44, Android 38-44, Backend 16-24.
People (due to various reasons) might have a need to change some of the user data. That may be a phone number, an email, a card number or any other profile details.
Efforts in hours: iOS 34-40, Android 30-36, Backend 16-22.
Would it be a driver or a passenger, the app needs to recognize a user to load all the user related data at launch. This data is essential for payments, rating, history, and other features.
Efforts in hours: iOS 40-46, Android 36-42, Backend 12-18.
Is taxi driver ready to pick up someone? Is he busy with a cute girl sitting in his car? Driver should be able to notify the app (and obviously passengers) about his availability.
Efforts in hours: iOS 24-30, Android 22-28, Backend 10-16.
Once the driver is ready to pick up some passengers he should be able to confirm passenger's request for a ride or decline it.
Efforts in hours: iOS 40-46, Android 38-44, Backend 24-32.
The driver needs to check the amount of the job done, his earnings, places he visited and all the related stuff.
Efforts in hours: iOS 38-44, Android 30-36, Backend 16-20.
Efforts in hours: iOS 22-28, Android 22-28, Backend 14-18.
Admin dashboard is a web-based tool that allows administrators to manage drivers' and passengers' accounts and activities, generate various reports, change and adjust promotions, etc… The amount of settings and tools available in the admin dashboard depends on your needs and time needed for development process can vary. Average developer`s time needed for building an Admin Dashboard with the basic features varies from 60 to 80 hours.
The idea of UI/UX is to make a journey through the application easy and enjoyable, to build experience users would love and make them coming back again and again. Some lovely custom design for taxi app will add 160 – 200 hours to your project.
While building an application you shouldn't forget about the supporting processes such as quality assurance, project management, and DevOps. Book some additional (in percents from the overall development) time for those: 15% for quality assurance, 10% for project management and 5% more for DevOps.
Here, at Django Stars, we had experience in creating a taxi app called Taxofon. The Taxofon project is a complete web and mobile-based solution for building and running a taxi service company from scratch. It covers all the features needed for passengers, drivers, and managers using Android and web application. Feel free to check what we've done here — taxofon.ua.

Groundbreaking text mining project highlights 'gender gap' in scientific research
via text mining
Half of mouse studies fail to report the sex and age of the models involved
A project at The University of Manchester to analyse 15,000 mouse studies – the largest of its kind ever undertaken – has revealed that about half of these studies failed to report the sex and age of the mice involved, despite these being recognised as key variables that can affect the outcome of scientific studies.
The project utilised text mining software developed at the University, which can analyse large collections of documents to unearth information which would otherwise have been virtually impossible to discover. The software relies on a number of rules, which automatically scan the method section of papers to identify mentions of gender and age.
The results of the project, published this week in eLife, highlight the issue of reproducibility of scientific research – around £20 billion is spent every year on research which is not reproducible, and over 80% of potential therapeutics fail in humans after being tested in mice.
Previously published studies have suggested that research done on female animals may not be applicable for men, and in many of the studies analysed in this project, the animals used were overwhelmingly female. This may be due to female mice being less aggressive, which makes them easier to use in the studies. This is important, because the sexes can have markedly different responses to the same investigations – for example, in infection research.
This may significantly reduce the reliability of studies, and lead to drugs that won't work for half of the population.
The reproducibility of studies often focuses on the interpretation of statistics, but this project has highlighted that the methods used may not be reported rigorously enough to assess whether they were done correctly. By looking at the methods used, it is possible to infer whether or not the statistics produced are sound, and reproducible in the future. Without knowing these methods, this cannot be inferred at all, which hampers cross-disciplinary research and longevity of data.
The project has produced a vital tool to measure the reproducibility of scientific studies, but there is a long way to go – failure to consider gender in research is still very much the norm, and according to one analysis of scientific studies published in 2009, only 45% of animal studies involving depression or anxiety and only 38 percent involving strokes used females, even though these conditions are more common in women.
"The opportunity to use text mining to cover such a broad portfolio of research was brilliant, and vital to see the bigger picture," said Sheena Cruickshank, Senior Lecturer in Immunology at The University of Manchester. "We are an interdisciplinary team, and it was this which enabled us to spot this issue and then explore it. The paper builds on several pieces of work we have done together, and highlights the importance of the scientific community to come together and define what is important in the current reproducibility crisis."
"This study has demonstrated how state-of-the-art computer science technology is instrumental for a large-scale and systematic analysis of literature," said Dr Goran Nenadic from The University of Manchester's School of Computer Science. "It avoids small sample bias, and allows us to explore the research landscape on a large scale to identify key issues in reporting details of scientific methodologies, which are necessary for reproducibility, transparency and fidelity of research."

The NBA Bubble worked, but without fans, it lacked luster
Brady Wine, Varsity Writer|October 19, 2020
Sam Best
Junior Brady Wine watches NBA Bubble action between the LA Lakers and the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
The NBA Bubble, which just recently crowned the Lakers as 2019-2020 season champions, was a great taste of basketball for fans and the best possible attempt at replicating the NBA; however, without fans in attendance and the virtual fans as a poor replacement, it was certainly not the same in terms of entertainment.
This past March, COVID brought the NBA season to an abrupt stop, leaving teams and fans with an uncertain end to what had been, up to that point, an exciting season. For the next six months, questions surrounding what would be done to wrap up the 2019-2020 season were discussed. In early August, 24 of the 30 teams with a shot at the title were brought to Orlando to play out the final eight games of the regular season as well as the playoffs in a bubble in Disney World.
Questions still shrouded this attempt at reviving the NBA season. Would the basketball played be on the same level with players unable to play for six months? Would the NBA be able to keep the bubble COVID free? To even attempt to play basketball was going to be a major challenge, but the conclusion of the season was a major success anyway. No cases of COVID were brought into the bubble, and the level of play nearly mirrored top-level NBA games––excluding the lack of defense, which was to be expected.
The main problem that I had as a fan watching the NBA action was the lack of real fans in attendance."
— Brady Wine
Just as usual NBA Playoffs go, the storylines in the bubble were rampant and the game action really exceeded the competitive level I was expecting in an isolated arena. Great game upon great game took place, day after day all capped off by a Laker's championship. The biggest stars showed up with major performances as they always do come playoff time, and the Playoffs even had some surprising runs from under the radar teams. This included the Suns going undefeated or the Heat making it to the Finals, creating basketball action that was the same or even better than a normal season. As an NBA fan, there was nothing more I could've asked for in terms of on-court gameplay.
The main problem that I had as a fan watching the NBA action was the lack of real fans in attendance. The NBA took steps to make the fan experience more realistic, such as pumping in crowd noise and filling the walls of the arena with virtual fans, using Zoom to broadcast their faces from home. While using electronic fans and crowd noise helped to make the games more realistic, it was nothing close to the actual environment of a game. The fans' reactions were delayed and minimal, withdrawing more from my viewing experience than they added. In many instances the virtual fans made it feel like I was watching a high level basketball game at the gym, not an NBA game with title hopes hanging in the balance.
Fans' reactions, which help to exaggerate the importance of moments and build excitement for plays, can be just as important as the plays themselves. Luka Doncic's game-winning three against the LA Clippers, or Jamal Murray's multiple 50-point games to come back from a 3-1 deficit against the Utah Jazz were certainly great to watch, but just like every other crazy play that took place in the bubble, there seemed to be something missing. These legendary moments would have been much better if the players had been able to have fans that could go crazy alongside them.
Assessing D'angelo Russel's first month as a member of the Timberwolves
For anyone such as myself who loves watching basketball, we should be thankful the NBA went to such great lengths to put on a successful end to what was a very unique season. With a long break that had no sports, this NBA bubble season was an exciting reintroduction to sports and served almost as a replacement for March Madness, which was also canceled this year. However, if the NBA is to return to the bubble format, I hope they do so with revamped online fans and are able to use a different style to make the games feel more natural than they were in the bubble.

The Walking Dead's Original Plan For Beth Was Even More Gruesome
By Nick Venable
After all the dark and sordid moments that have gone down on The Walking Dead over the course of its first ten seasons, nothing the show does at this point should really shock me in terms of its depravity. However, one former recurring Walking Dead actor recently threw cold water on my assumptions by revealing the show's nutso original plans for killing off Emily Kinney's Beth Greene.
Walking Dead vet Lew Temple, who played the short-lived fan-favorite Axel, dropped by the Talk Suffer to Me podcast to talk about the show and his sports talents. It was there where he revealed the Walking Dead's showrunner and producers at the time were aiming to not only give Axel a bigger storyline, but they were going to kill off Beth two seasons earlier than the character actually got murdered. Here's how Temple put it:
There were some episodes that were written where I do take Beth out into the woods and slaughter her. And so we didn't get to any of those. That was why I kept buttoned up, he was gonna come undone and be totally Henry Rollins tattooed. The whole thing about being a drug addict was all a facade, the thing about the squirt gun and pistol is all bullshit.
For those who need a quick refresher, Axel was part of the prison crew in Season 3. He wasn't a drug dealer as he'd told the others, but had actually been arrested for armed robbery after holding up a store using a water pistol. But it sounds like the writers had script-tested several situations where Axel would prove himself to be something much more sinister than a gun-fearing softie.
How awesome would it have been to see Axel reveal his Max Cady-esque tats just before going all movie monster on someone. To be sure, it would have been awful for The Walking Dead to kill off Beth before Emily Kinney had really hit her development stride in Seasons 4 and 5. But the way she did get taken out of the story at the hospital was pretty blah, and it received a sizable backlash from viewers, so getting slaughtered by a secret serial killer might have been a more memorable way to bow out.
During the podcast interview, Lew Temple also said that the writers had added moments where Axel was meant to abuse Carol in that same storyline stretch, which would have definitely riled the fanbase up against the actor's favor. But alas, none of it came to be, with Axel unfortunately getting taken out during an attack by The Governor. Here's Temple recalling that switcheroo.
I mean, just these really dark things that the writers were talking about. And then all of a sudden, it's like, 'Oh, we painted ourselves in the corner, the Governor is showing up and he's gotta draw blood or he'll be impotent. He's gotta draw first blood. And it's looking like you're gonna get the short straw.'
To Lew Temple's credit, his final scene with Carol is his best, and to see him get shot in the head just as he's in the midst of a warm conversation was as heartbreaking a death as it got for supporting characters. Now, I still think it would have been more interesting and nuanced had that moment happened without anyone realizing that Axel was actually a serial killer. Especially if someone would have discovered Beth's body (or that of another victim) later, which would set about a wave of fear and panic that Axel couldn't even relish.
The Walking Dead wasn't just pulling that serial killer plot line out of the air, of course. It sounds very much like the writers were going to give Axel some of the story beats of Thomas Richards, who was also part of the prison crew in the source material. Thomas was a mostly quite individual whose deadly, decapitation-friendly motivations were soon revealed. Though he wasn't a major character, Thomas was one of the first times that Rick's group encountered an all-too-human threat, although there were many more of those to come, both in the comic and on the TV show.
Though The Walking Dead wrapped up Season 10 earlier this year, the show has yet to deliver its official season finale, which was in the midst of being finalized when production had to shut down. In the meantime, you can stream the first nine seasons on Netflix.

Based in Port Reading, New Jersey, Allied Old English was founded in 1951 by Harold Ross as a small family business
which specialized in duck sauce and blackstrap molasses. At that time, products were primarily distributed through
health food stores. In 1975, Fred Ross, Harold's son, took over day-to-day operations where sales were 75% private label and
institutional products sold to restaurants. Fred Ross concentrated on growing sales of
branded products and acquiring others.
Mee Tu Noodles became part of the Allied Old English line-up in 1977, Sorrell Ridge in 1982, Hot Cha Cha in 1983,
and Gathering Winds in 1984. While focusing on building his existing and acquired brands, Fred continued looking for
quality products that had a unique position in the marketplace and synergy with his existing brands.
This led to his largest acquisition, in 2005, of Sun Luck's line of Chinese condiments and sauces!
Homade Chili Sauce, an all-natural, sweet and tangy chili sauce packaged in a unique spherical bottle,
was acquired in 2015, and Wing-Time Barbecue sauces arrived in 2019.
The Wing-Time line-up has since doubled to eight skus, attesting to Fred's approach of acquiring and growing
premium brands. In 2020, Allied Old English introduced Asian Pantry, a full line of premium Chinese sauces,
a continuation of Fred Ross' belief in offering quality branded products.
This three-generation, family-owned company has become one of the leading manufacturers of bottled food products in
the United States. Allied Old English now manufactures a delicious portfolio of niche brands - including Asian Sauces
(Asian Pantry, Sun Luck, Dai Day and AH-SO Chinese barbecue sauces), Barbecue Sauces (Wing-Time),
Meat Glazes (Saucy Susan), and Molasses (Plantation).

ORIGINAL FRENCH ARTICLE: Roselyne Bachelot plus dangereuse que le virus?
by Paul Cesbron, obstetrician-gynecologist, head of a hospital ward
Is Roselyne Bachelot More Dangerous than the H1N1 Virus?
Flu pandemic – a blessing for pharmaceutical firms.
Translated Monday 14 December 2009, by Alison Billington and reviewed by Isabelle Métral
If brother will turn on brother, man can turn wolf on another man, isn't it reasonable to ask if a man or woman can be more of a threat than a virus?
H1N1, for that's what we are talking about, is probably one of the latest mutants of a large family of viruses that are well-known to humans through their numerous ancestors. Certain have left us with memories of fatalities. Moreover the most formidable of them appears to be that which was most cruel in its persistent attack on peoples seriously weakened by the initial onslaughts of the first world war: the virus responsible for a pandemic misnamed the 'Spanish flu'.
What has H1N1 in store for us ? A formidable, lethal pandemic or an ordinary winter flu? What we propose with caution are but theories. But our political leaders, with the couple Nicolas Sarkozy-Roselyne Bachelot in the lead, have created a national cause out of the battle against this enemy of the human species. After 'criminal mistakes' such as the contamination of blood and the 'reckless' use of growth hormone, we'll see what we shall see. A government guided by a new redeemer is going to protect an entire people against death. So what still cuts ice when we are faced with such a profound sense of the general interest, such dedication delivered by a true genius of organization and communication, organizing an increase in poverty, of unemployment, of injustices exacerbated by reforms serving the interests of capital (themselves considered as 'immoral and devastating'), faced with the irresponsible gesticulations of those who oppose everything – placard carriers and other signatories of daily petitions?
So judging from all the press conferences and the several press releases prepared each week, illustrated by innumerable announcements and documents stamped with the seal of science, we are to live under the permanent threat of a fast-spreading pandemic. The instigators of the fight against this future situation, both near and tragic, recommend: that we wash our hands, which will protect our fellow man against the billions of viral particles (from now on we will only count in billions) that we can transmit to him every time we speak (the return of the mask), touch or have any other potentially lethal contact. Non-compulsory vaccination (democracy obliges) and early treatment available for everyone. Those are the public health measures that are endlessly recommended to us.
And meanwhile they are much discussed by health professionals, users' associations and more widely by the population at large. The accusation of smoke screening does not seem excessive to those who have been living for an entire year with the dramatic consequences of a social crisis, to those who have lived through daily affronts to fundamental human rights. It is much worse than the flu, which is without a doubt exactly the same as that we experience every year.
Moreover, Emmanuel Hirsch, philosopher and founder of the Saint-Louis hospital ethics committee, confirms in the preface to a work of a group of writers that he is editing, Pandemic Flu, Mobilization Orders [1] that "Once having refused a public debate on the human and social issues at stake, the threat of a pandemic brings democratic life into question and contributes to the increased suspicion concerning the exceptional measures arbitrarily introduced as a means of managing a total crisis." And then, this concern that the majority of medics have over the vaccine, doesn't it bring about a return to an old obscurantism so hostile to science? Must such and such a vaccine be used, with or without an adjuvant, since it is potentially damaging to the health of the embryo-foetus (no vaccination for pregnant women in Germany, but recommended in France)? What is the real efficacy of such and such an antiviral in the prevention of complications, and administered in what way?
The questions are many and the conflicts of interest between the health of the population and the health of pharmaceutical firms, for whom this pandemic is already a blessing from heaven, feed the suspicion that Emmanuel Hirsch so justly speaks of. There really is much to instill conscious doubts — and with good reason. And this doubt could easily become a conviction when it is known that the inspired leaders in this campaign are none other than the creators of the law called 'hospital, patients, health, territories' (HPST), which proposes the turning over of the public hospital to the raging hunger of the health merchants, who are reducing beds by thousands, services by hundreds, cutting staff and ruining hospitals by an ignoble budget strategy: charging for medical services intervention by intervention.
Questioning their motives in a malicious or grotesque fashion? To those who in all good faith, accuse the defenders of the public hospital of rallying for a bad cause which has already been lost, I recommend the reading of the curriculum vitae of our future managers of Regional Health Agencies (Dars).
By way of example, Picardy, the poorest region in France as regards health, will have a man named Christophe Jacquinet to lead it. He is forty-two, manager of a bureau giving advice on investment in the health service industry, ex-director of three private clinics belonging to General Health – one of the largest health providers in France - a company known to have been able to pay 400 million euros to its share holders in 2008, while often benefiting from state financial aid – he's also director of General Health activities in Brittany and Normandy and, finally, president of one of these public/private associations - a real Trojan horse for the private management of home care in the city of Le Havre.
What is more dangerous for the health of our people ? Asking the question is not completely pointless.

Acoustic echo cancellers (AEC) are becoming increasingly important because of the widespread use of hands-free devices. Due to their simplicity, most of the cancellers rely on NLMS-type adaptive filters to model and track the time-varying echo path. Recently, adaptive combinations of filters are gaining increasing popularity as a flexible and versatile approach to overcome compromises inherent to adaptive filters, thus enhancing the overall performance. Regarding AEC scenarios, such filter combinations have already been proposed for, e.g., improving the trade-off between convergence speed and steady-state error or for reducing the dependency on varying ratios of linear and nonlinear distortions. In this paper, we present a new AEC approach, showing improved performance for unknown or time-varying signalto- noise ratios (SNR). The proposed scheme exploits the fact that the coefficient energy of a typical echo path is not uniformly distributed, but decays exponentially. Under this condition, an NLMS filter will introduce significant estimation errors for less significant filter taps due to gradient noise. Since the number of affected coefficients strongly depends on the SNR and hence on the implied noise floor, the cancellation performance may degrade considerably for low SNRs. In order to relieve the coefficient noise, the adaptive impulse response is split into a number of nonoverlapping blocks, each of which is combined with a virtual 'zero-block', having fixed zero coefficients, with timevarying relative weights for both the nonzero and the zero-block. In practice, this results in a possibly biased estimation of some of the filter coefficients. However, it has been shown that such estimates can yield advantages in terms of mean-square error, especially for low SNRs. The combination of each block is implemented by a convex mixing, where the control parameter is updated according to a stochastic gradient descent method so as to minimize the global error of the AEC. For moderate block numbers, the increment in computational cost over a conventional NLMS canceller is negligible. In particular, this contribution investigates the operation of the blockwise combined filter for low SNR conditions, comparing its performance with standard NLMS- and PNLMS-type filters. The robustness and benefits of the proposed approach are thereby experimentally verified for noise and speech inputs. Moreover, the influence of the number of blocks and the mixing parameters is also studied and indications on future work (as e.g. accounting for impulsive noise or an extension to nonlinear filters) are given.

The United States Freedom Network was created to provide a safe place where a free people can speak out against its government, politicians, courts and judges in order to bring about changes in our government for the good of its people. Now expanded to expose those owners, executives and industries, like the Debt and Tax Relief Industries, that target those who can least protect themselves. The U.S. Freedom Network is located offshore to protect our most sacred freedoms.
Remember when people had to be accountable for their actions? The United States Freedom Network (usfreedomnetwork.com) and its related Freedom Member websites are about this one simple principle. If a trusted official, business executive or company breaks the trust of their office, position or stated purpose, the U.S. Freedom Network will put a spotlight on that person, company or organization which won't dim until their bad acts are accounted for and rectified.
To those who served, many remember the oath we took in Basic Training to "Defend the US Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic". Now more than ever, we have to ask ourselves, who is the enemy? The U.S. Freedom Network was established in response to the following: a President who was voted the liar of the year, public officials who lie to keep their jobs and courts, attorneys and judges who seem to believe themselves above the law. Government entities, like the IRS and the NSA are being used to attack political enemies and to stockpile our personal information. It would seem that our government has forgotten that it exists to serve and protect its citizens and not the other way around.
Our Constitution was once a beacon to other nations and people around the world. Now, politicians and judges, without fear of accountability, ignore the Constitution, turning our Country into one not recognized by those who risked life and limb to defend it. These politicians are bold, their intentions are clear: they wish to destroy our constitution, which will assuredly lead to this country's demise.
Our nation's founders knew that the biggest safeguard against the tyranny of government was the 1st Amendment, the right of free speech and a free press. Freedom was held by them and those patriots who followed, above all else.
The United States Freedom Network website, like all websites belonging to the U.S. Freedom Network, is located in Amsterdam. No one person controls this website, nor knows who the other contributors are, or where they're from. The content of this website is cached (copied) around the globe. This website's editors and writers only control their own content until it is published, and therefore, no U.S. Freedom Network Member's Website can be taken down by any one person. We will comply with Amsterdam Court Orders, but will defend the right of free speech with both vigor and fortitude.
Neither the United States Freedom Network nor any U.S. Freedom Network Member, will allow any content that is immoral or illegal. No Freedom Member will take down postings about institutions or individuals if they are backed with verifiable facts. No advertiser has any influence whatsoever over the stories published by U.S. Freedom Network Members. Many of the Freedom Member Websites are dedicated to exposing corruption and bias in our institutions, courts and the legal profession in general. We chose Amsterdam and not a government that is hostile to the United States. Our goal was not to avoid just laws, but rather to place U.S. Freedom Members Websites and their contributors one step beyond the self-serving, politically motivated U.S. courts, judges and attorneys, forcing them to file lawsuits in a country that will judge articles on their truth, not on who they expose.
Please feel free to make comments at U.S. Freedom Network Websites, but use caution. One of our contributors, an expert on security, told us that for most postings on Freedom Members Websites, you should feel the additional freedom of speech offered by its offshore status.

Day 5 of our east coast adventure had a three point plan. We wanted to explore the Acadia National Park, eat a popover at the park's Jordan Pond House and take a trip on a real lobster boat. The park is gorgeous and you could spend days hiking and exploring. The combination of thick, green forests and rocky beaches is an incredibly beautiful combination. Think Smoky Mountains surrounded by ocean. While we were disappointed to find out that we were not going to be seeing a moose in the park (a ranger told us to give up on that notion), we did manage to spy a few of the park's inhabitants.
We saw a green, speckled frog sunning himself on a spotted log.
Okay, this one we could have done without! I don't know what kind of snake it was, but we side stepped carefully around him.
Finally, we saw this little fellow guarding the trash can.
We loved how the lush, green forest runs right out to the rocky shore.
This wooden trail out behind the Jordan Pond House seemed like an easy hike. Honestly, it was harder to stay on the planks than it would have been just to walk on a dirt path. I wondered how many people had turned their ankles falling off the edge of the path.
We ended our hike back at Jordan Pond House where we were anxious to get our hands on their famous popovers. After our hot walk, we were happy to cool off in the rustic and airy lodge.
As soon as we were seated, our server brought out the object of our desires. Let's just say we were not disappointed. The popovers were hot and huge and we could not wait to dig in. They came with homemade blueberry jam and real butter. Of all the things I ate on our trip, this really was my absolute favorite. I dream about these popovers. Sadly, because the popovers are only good hot, right out of the oven, bringing some home with me wasn't an option. If you go to Acadia, make sure to eat a popover at Jordan Pond House.
In addition to our wonderful popovers, we sampled a delicious blueberry crisp made with Maine wild blueberries. It came with ice cream drizzled with buttermilk and wildflower honey. Divine!
Finally, so you don't think we were just eating sweets, I got a plate of smoked salmon with sliced red onion, capers, boiled egg, drizzled with crème fraîche. It was yummy!
Following our afternoon tea, we drove around the park some more, enjoying the natural beauty of the island. The views from the highest point in the park, Cadillac Mountain, were stunning.
We only saw a small portion of the more than 47,000 acres that make up the park, so we were sad to leave, but we had to get back to Bar Harbor for one more Maine adventure. We had a date with Lulu Lobster for a ride on a real Downeast style lobster boat.
After we purchased our tickets, we got on our boat and met the captain of the Lulu and our host for the trip, Captain John Nicolai. Captain John was everything you would expect and want as a captain of a lobster boat. The crusty seaman not only looked the part, he was witty and entertaining and a great teacher. We learned about lobsters and lobstering, as well as conservation and history.
One highlight of our trip was visiting Egg Rock Light in Frenchman Bay. Other than the beautiful and unusual lighthouse on Egg Rock Island, we were delighted to see hundreds of seals lounging on the rocky island. A bald eagle stood right in the middle of the seals, standing guard.
By the time we finished our boat trip and got back to Bar Harbor, the day was almost done, but we had miles to go before we would sleep. We said goodbye to Maine and drove back through the White Mountains of New Hampshire and on to the Green Mountains of Vermont. We laughed and had so much fun, we forgot to be exhausted until we found a room in Waterbury, Vermont and finally dropped into bed in the wee hours of the morning.
Tomorrow, Day 6: Ben and Jerry's, Woodstock, Vermont, Woodstock Farmer's Market and back to Rhode Island. In the meantime, Three Friends and a Fork give 3 Delectable Yums UP to Jordan Pond House and Lulu's Lobster Boat.


Now that you know all the best places to find coupons from the previous lesson Where to find coupons lets start talking about how to organize them. Coupons are only valuable if you can find, match and use them before they expire and when items are on sale so organization is key. There are a few main methods people use to keep track of their coupons and we'll walk through our favorites below.
This is one of the most popular methods used to organize coupons and requires a few basic supplies to get started: A large 3 ring binder, plastic inserts to hold the coupons and dividers.
Before you start clipping and filling your binder with coupons think about how you want to organize it. Many people like to break up their binder based on common grocery store categories like beverages, canned, freezer, meat, pets, produce, etc. Another common organizational method is to sort coupons alphabetically.
Once you decide on your organizational approach you can start putting your binder together. Place dividers between every 2-3 pages of plastic inserts and label the dividers according to your system. Once this is complete you can start placing your coupons in pockets within their corresponding categories. Remember to keep similar coupons together in 1 pocket. Ex: if you have 4 Starkist Tuna coupons place them all within 1 pocket under "canned" if you're using the category method or "S" if you are organizing your coupons alphabetically.
We also recommend putting a few extra plastic inserts in the front of your binder for coupons that offer great deals that you want to make sure you use on your next grocery run. It's also helpful to keep a copy of your stores coupon policy in the binder to settle any misunderstanding at the register.
Now your coupon binder should be good to go, just make sure you spend a little bit of time each week keeping it up to date and also give it a quick one over before heading to the store so all of your coupons are fresh in your mind.
This method is unique compared to the previous two because instead of cutting out each coupon you'll be filing the whole coupon insert and only clip individual coupons when you need them. Supplies for this method include file folders, a filing cabinet or a file box.
To organize your whole inserts start by sorting them into piles according to the date the inserts were issued (located on the spine of the insert) and by who the insert was issued by. We recommend writing the date of the insert on the front in marker because the font on the binding is very small. Once you have all your piles sorted, you can start organizing them in your cabinet/box with labels that show the date and issuer. Ex: All 3/15/15 RedPlum.
If you don't require a large binder or box for organizing your coupons or want something more portable and discreet for quick trips to the store, check out a few of these purse like organizers below. You can follow the same organizing logic as described above.

Emily is one of the lead characters, from a military family and a competitive swimmer. At the start of season 1 she had a boyfriend, Ben, and she befriended her new next-door neighbor Maya. The two grew closer and eventually kissed. Previously, Emily also had feelings for her best friend Alison, who was missing and thought dead.
Ben sensed that Emily was losing interest in him and tried to force himself on her but she was saved. She was eventually outed to her friends and came out to her parents, who struggled to accept her. After meeting Maya, Emily's father started to accept her sexuality, her mother however told her she was disgusted by her and made sure Maya got sent away to a camp for juvenile delinquents.
Later in season 1 Paige, a competitive teammate, started harassing Emily, making homophobic insults towards her and later attempting to drown her in order to intimidate her. Paige afterwards apologized, kissed her and the two secretly started dating. They eventually broke up because Emily didn't want to hide the relationship anymore, and because of Paige's jealousy over Emily's growing friendship with Samara.
Emily briefly dated Samara, before she got back together with Maya. She also hallucinated kissing Alison due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Maya was desperate to avoid getting sent back to the camp. Emily later found out it was because her soon-to-be killer was there and Maya wanted Emily to go with her to San Francisco to save her. When Emily rejected leaving, Maya disappeared. A distraught Emily attempted to find Maya, to no avail.
Paige also tried rekindle her relationship with Emily but they decided to just be friends. In the season 2 finale Emily arrived home to a crime scene and found out Maya had been murdered.
Emily dealt with Maya's death by excessive drinking. She distanced herself from her friends and found comfort in Maya's cousin Nate. On a night she blacked out from drinking, she went to visit Paige, kissed her and realized afterwards she wanted to be with her. The two rekindled their relationship.
Emily discovered that Maya had been hiding in a cabin, and had never actually left. Upset by this, Emily and Nate comforted each other and eventually kissed. Emily joined Nate for a weekend away in a cabin. Nate admitted he wasn't actually Maya's cousin and killed Maya due to being angry at Emily for "taking" Maya away from him.
He revealed he had kidnapped Paige and planned to murder her in front of Emily. Emily escaped, but was caught in a nearby lighthouse while attempting to call 911. During the ensuing struggle, she stabbed Nate and killed him.
In season 4 Emily and Paige were in a stable relationship, coping with Emily's shoulder injury which kept her from attending the same college as Paige. They came to the conclusion they would not be able to be together because of their different college plans. Meanwhile Emily found out Alison was still alive. By the end of the season Alison sent a message she wanted to come back to town and talk to Emily.
Alison confessed to Emily she had feelings for her and they shared a kiss but Alison kept lying to her and Emily's storyline revolved around the love triangle with Paige and Alison. Towards the end of the season Emily and Paige got together again shortly before Paige left for California.
In the second half of season 5 Talia was introduced, a chef hired to help Emily. One night Talia revealed she had feelings for Emily and they began a relationship until Emily found out Talia was married. Talia told her that her husband was aware of Talia's interest in woman. In the following episode, her husband came into The Brew looking for Talia and told Emily he was okay with Talia experimenting because he would get to love her forever.
Emily angrily broke off the relationship and Talia quit her job. Before leaving town, Talia told Emily she had come out to her husband and was kicked out of the house.
Season 6 started with Emily and her friends rescued from being kept prisoners. Sara Harvey was saved along with them and she and Emily bonded, grew closer and eventually kissed. In the mid-season finale Sara was revealed to work with 'A' all along though she alluded to caring about Emily and her friends.
Mid-season 6 there was a 5 year time jump. Emily lost her father, stopped studying and started bartending. She started taking pills and donated her eggs for money at a clinic, she met Sabrina and developed an interest in her. Sara came back to town and continued tormenting Emily and her friends until she was killed off in Season 7.
Emily grew closer to Sabrina, they started dating but Emily's tendency to lie and keep secrets put a lot of strain on the relationship. Paige also came back to the show, and we found out that during the 5 year time jump, Paige and Emily had been happy together at Stanford until Emily's dad died. After their break-up, Paige was training for the Olympics when a car accident damaged her knee and ruined her chances. While reminiscing about the past, Emily told Paige that while Sabrina was nice, she did not see a future with her.
In the mid-season finale, Emily spent the night at Alison's house, Alison revealed she was pregnant and Emily comforted her, promised to support her and they kissed.
Emily and Paige were both hired at the school, and working together, with Emily often caught in between Paige and Alison fighting or acting passive aggressive towards each other.
Plot-wise, the liars were also caught up in an A.D. created board game that promised to unravel the season's mystery, with each of them reluctantly getting pulled into the game – when it was Emily's turn in episode 7×12, she was manipulated into blackmailing a 10th grader, who was in turn trying to blackmail her.
In episode 7×14, Paige told Emily she had gotten a job offer, and was thinking of taking it and moving away. They shared several scenes in the episode, with Emily confessing she wanted another chance at a relationship, and Paige eventually deciding to stay – they kissed and hugged, both happy.
In the meantime, Alison, who earlier on made an appointment to terminate the pregnancy because she wanted her life back, found out the baby she was carrying was Emily's: A.D. had stolen Emily's eggs and Alison recalled how she had been strapped down and forced into the procedure. She told Emily, and then cancelled her appointment at the clinic.
