Senior Maura Wilcox's love of children led her to an experience of a lifetime this past summer when she visited Guatemala.
During her trip, Wilcox said her trip had two factors, changing the lives of the natives and her own.
"It really showed me that we should all be extremely grateful and feel blessed for everything that we have because we do not appreciate it enough," Wilcox said.
As she reached more rural parts of Guatemala, she saw that there was a major difference between the city and Muskegon.
"They had a lot of locally owned stores that looked run-down and poor," she said.
As the differences started to arise, so did the different types of people who lived in Guatemala.
"Half of them seemed very grateful and loved seeing us, and the other half seemed angry to see us," Wilcox said.
During her trip, Wilcox said she had foods that she was familiar with but were prepared in a different way, like a mix of chicken and tortillas that were much thicker than regular tortillas prepared in the United States.
However, one moment stands out.
"If I could relive ten minutes of the trip, I would go back to the first day we were at one of the schools," she said.
The children were excited to see them as they put on a performance thanking them for the construction and painting they did for their school.
Wilcox said the performance the children put on was put together well and perfected even though the children had just started vacation.


Beer has been around for 500 glorious years, and yet, we still don't know much about its origin. Sure, we know how it's made and how to drink more than our doctors recommend, but researchers have always been unclear about where exactly the domesticated hybrid yeast used to make lager came from.
The problem is that the origin of the hybrid yeast used in lager beer is relatively unknown. We know that a domesticated yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) combined with a recently discovered yeast (Saccharomyces eubayanus) at some point to create an interspecies hybrid — but we've never understood how the two halves met.
Now, according to a study published by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, we may have greater insight into the origin of the hybrid yeast used to make the cold-brewed lager the world knows and loves.
The history of S. eubayanus could be the missing piece to this mystery. Its existence was only discovered in 2011, and when researchers began looking for it around the world, it was found in places like New Zealand, North Carolina, Tibet and Wisconsin — all far from the origin of beer in Europe.
More recently discovered strains of yeast from places like North Carolina and Tibet have the closest relatives to the domesticated S. eubayanus half of the lager hybrid. Researchers believe that learning more about this half of the hybrid will give companies a better understanding of how yeast can be tamed and used in industrial products.
For now, as the search for our domesticated hybrid yeast's origin continues, we're just going to sit back and enjoy a cold one.

Whether you've just moved into a new place with a hammock already in tow or you're purchasing one for the first time, there are some things to take into consideration when selecting a spot to hang it. A lot depends on preference, but some practical considerations also come into play when choosing a proper location for rocking the hours away.
Before hanging your hammock in the first available space, take the time to think about when you're most likely to use it. If the early a.m. hours draw you outdoors to watch the sunrise or to just laze about sipping your morning coffee or tea, then an eastern exposure is probably best for your particular needs. This school of thought holds true for taking in idyllic sunsets or basking in warm sunshine with a western exposure. If shade is what you crave, then find a suitable location with a northern exposure where you're virtually guaranteed lowered temperatures throughout the day.
If privacy is paramount, then your first choice should be a secluded spot in the yard will obviously be your first choice. But if for some reason that's impossible, nothing says you can't construct your own blind for concealing your location from prying eyes. The best way to do this is through landscaping, but if you're too impatient to wait for shrubbery to mature or you're renting, it is easier and cheaper than you think to erect a privacy blind. For a project like this, think about using latticework or bamboo matting for creating a screen. Both allow for breezes and can be purchased at local hardware stores or home improvement centers.
Speaking of breezes, you may want to pick an area that gets plenty of cross ventilation for staying cool and comfortable during hammock season. Airflow can make the difference between a comfortable experience and wondering what you're doing out there. If you've got a spot where gentle breezes are more prevalent, adopt it as the new home for your hammock. A rope net hammock is the ticket for folks who want to experience maximum air circulation. While the comfortable organic cotton or silk hammocks will keep you cool, netting allows you to feel airflow over every inch of your unprotected body.
Avoid hanging your hammock in areas where bugs are a big concern. Low lying sections of yard often collect water, leading to muck. Failure to properly drain these areas can promote mosquito and gnat populations that higher ground won't. Also, you want to avoid hanging your hammock within a matter of feet from flowering vines like honeysuckle, which attract bees in large numbers. While the sweet scent may be appealing, the number of bugs that hide in dense vegetation is not. Tall grasses are an ideal place to pick up ticks, fleas and chiggers—all of which can mar your beautiful day. For this reason, keep the area around your hammock reasonably mowed.
Sometimes there's no getting around noise, but choosing a spot with the least amount of distraction could work in your favor when deciding where to place your hammock. If you have loud, rambunctious neighbors or part of your property touches a busy street or alley way, you probably don't want to use those spots for rest and relaxation because it's doubtful you'll get any. When possible, find a location where you won't be bothered by irritating sounds or noise pollution. Hammocks are great near water features and stands of trees with rustling leaves. Nothing puts you in that relaxing state of mind like the sounds of nature.
While there's a good chance you'll spend most of your time with your eyes closed in your hammock, that won't always be the case. Hammocks are wonderful for reading a good book or favorite magazine, sorting things out in your head, taking stock in life or sipping a beverage, and watching the world go by. All of these things are a lot less stressful when the scenery is pleasant. You don't want to wedge your hammock into a space near trashcans, dilapidated sheds, or facing unsightly and noisy AC units. Pick a spot with an aesthetically pleasing view to get the most out of your hammock.
Now that you have some ideas for hanging your hammock, go and enjoy the great outdoors.

Martial arts are systems of offensive and defensive combat movements which includes proper punching, kicking, blocking, and other combative skills. Many people often associate martial arts to violence and brutality. Even though this form of art was developed for self defense, this craft is not just about throwing punches or performing high kicks. Martial arts are seen as expressions of valor, chivalry, and self sacrifice. It is a philosophy which stresses that people should live in peace and harmony. Martial arts philosophy emphasizes self control, respect for others, and positive perspective to strive for the best in life. Martial arts are part of an Eastern tradition that gives emphasis on the fortification of the mind, body, and spirit. Its teachings emphasize that a true martial artist must become physically, mentally, and emotionally strong enough to avoid fighting.
Martial arts include high energy training that can improve strength, speed, flexibility, and cardiovascular health.

Out of the Box Innovations
Flite fest west 2017
Was an amazing time spent with RC enthusiasts, spectators, old friends and even new friends were made during the festival! It was truly a great experience.
Being the first on set made it quick and easy to set up the booth and get a feel for the general surroundings for our next four day adventure. Out of the Box Innovations shared a booth with Team Axios, a company you should certainly check out as they are a great frame maker! Michael Gunter and I quickly got our bearings and headed out for a restful night and eager to get the party going on the following day!
The show had so much going on, but it was difficult to be part of everything when having to man the booth. However, we did manage to get out and see some spectacular shows like the aerial combat!
These flyers were amazing to watch! Flying line of site (LOS) is a great skill for any pilot, but these people make it unreal with their ability to see others and attack the streamers from a distance. The last day there were a few quadcopters who got into the action as well! FPV pilots chasing the bigger wings was a very funny site to watch!
The show had several areas which included the main hall where anyone could build airplanes or quads that they had just built with the different vendors on site. Flite Test had their own booth and it was quite popular! E-Max and other vendors had a strong showing and many people lined up to ask questions or make purchases. There were many projects that sprung up and became instant hits! The E-Max 10 engine giant cardboard plane was certainly a spectator favorite!
It was a build that Flite Test put together for Josh Bixler and was he excited when he found out it was actually built for him to add to his hangar!
The FPV racing venue was always packed with pilots looking to get some track time, set speed records on the track, or just have fun flipping around and showing off some fun moves. It was a fairly relaxed feeling all around and for the most part, everyone got time to enjoy the site. They used MultiGP to help schedule frequencies and keep things organized. A big shout out to the crew that handled the FPV side, they did an amazing job keeping everyone in the air!
One of the "biggest" highlights to watch was the 1000mm X class quads tearing up the sky with their acro flying contest. Seeing those behemoths soaring through gates intended for 5" quads was really something! There were some great moves and some heart-break when a couple of frames didn't quite make it back home. But, it was a very fun show non-the-less!
There were many faces in the crowd you'd recognize from other racing events and everyone was just as excited to be there having fun. From the rank beginner to the seasoned pilot, everyone helped everyone to keep the great sport moving forward and upwards! A surprise came later when the one and only Zoe of ZoeFPV said she wanted to pick up one of the VLX230's! Of course we had to oblige! ;)
The FPV Lane of the show had a number of people who were interested in FPV, learning about the sport and getting some help while they were at it. We had a people asking technical questions about their quads, asking for help on builds and just learning more about what it takes to be part of this wonderful community. The other vendors there were eager to help and bring more people into the hobby.
The Out of the Box Innovations and Team Axios' family grew a bit during the event and we are excited to see how the new members enjoy their products! Our giveaway was a great success and there was great energy in the tent when it all went down! Congrats again to our winners!!
There were some very unique builds that showed up there that really caught the eyes of anyone who saw them! We were so excited when we saw these couple of builds, we knew they were going to be big hits on the flight line! I do know that the dragon had even made its way into the local paper the following morning!
It was sad when the last day came around and we had to pack up to leave. But there were many great memories made and looking forward to the next event for even more! Many thanks out to Flite Test and the sponsors that helped put on this event. This was in inaugural event for Flite Fest West and I'm sure it won't be the last! For a first year event there was a tremendous turn out and there was much support from the RC industry to show interest and help light the fires for future events to be held. You haven't seen the last of Flite Fest in the West! Come on 2018!

This page describes several statistics provided in the NTP specification and reference implementation and how they determine the accuracy and error measured during routine and exceptional operation. These statistics provide the following information.
Nominal estimate of the server clock time relative to the client clock time. This is called clock offset symbolized by the Greek letter θ.
Roundtrip system and network delay measured by the on-wire protocol. This is call roundtrip delay symbolized by the Greek letter δ.
Potential clock offset error due to the maximum uncorrected system clock frequency error. This is called dispersion symbolized by the Greek letter ε.
Expected error, consisting of the root mean square (RMS) nominal clock offset sample differencess in a sliding window of several samples. This is called jitter symbolized by the Greek letter φ.
Figure 1 shows how the various measured statistics are collected and compiled to calibrate NTP performance.
The data represented in boxes labeled Server are contained in fields in packet received from the server. The data represented in boxes labeled Peer are computed by the on-wire protocol, as described below. The algorithms of the box labeled Selection and Combining Algorithms process the peer data to select a system peer. The System box represents summary data inherited from the system peer. These data are available to application programs and dependent downstream clients.
Each NTP synchronization source is characterized by the offset θ and delay δ samples measured by the on-wire protocol, as described on the How NTP Works page. In addition, the dispersion ε sample is initialized with the sum of the source precision ρR and the client precision ρ (not shown) as each source packet is received. The dispersion increases at a rate of 15 μs/s after that. For this purpose, the precision is equal to the latency to read the system clock. The offset, delay and dispersion are called the sample statistics.
Note. In very fast networks where the client clock frequency is not within 1 PPM or so of the the server clock frequency, the roundtrip delay may have small negative values. This is usually a temporary condition when the client is first started. When using the roundtrip delay in calculations, negative values are assumed zero.
In a window of eight (offset, delay, dispersion) samples, the algorithm described on the Clock Filter Algorithm page selects the sample with minimum delay, which generally represents the most accurate offset statistic. The selected offset sample determines the peer offset and peer delay statistics. The peer dispersion is a weighted average of the dispersion samples in the window. These quantities are recalculated as each update is received from the source. Between updates, both the sample dispersion and peer dispersion continue to grow at the same rate, 15 μs/s. Finally, the peer jitter φ is determined as the RMS differences between the offset samples in the window relative to the selected offset sample. The peer statistics are recorded by the peerstats option of the filegen command. Peer variables are displayed by the rv command of the ntpq program.
The clock filter algorithm continues to process updates in this way until the source is no longer reachable. Reachability is determined by an eight-bit shift register, which is shifted left by one bit as each poll packet is sent, with 0 replacing the vacated rightmost bit. Each time a valid update is received, the rightmost bit is set to 1. The source is considered reachable if any bit is set to 1 in the register; otherwise, it is considered unreachable. When a source becomes unreachable, a dummy sample with "infinite" dispersion is inserted in the filter window at each poll, thus displacing old samples. This causes the peer dispersion to increase eventually to infinity.
The composition of the source population and the system peer selection is redetermined as each update from each source is received. The system peer and system variables are determined as described on the Mitigation Rules and the prefer Keyword page. The system variables Θ, Δ, Ε and Φ are updated from the system peer variables of the same name and the system stratum set one greater than the system peer stratum. The system statistics are recorded by the loopstats option of the filegen command. System variables are displayed by the rv command of the ntpq program.
Although it might seem counterintuitive, a cardinal rule in the selection process is, once a sample has been selected by the clock filter algorithm, older samples are no longer selectable. This applies also to the clock select algorithm. Once the peer variables for a source have been selected, older variables of the same or other sources are no longer selectable. The reason for these rules is to limit the time delay in the clock discipline algorithm. This is necessary to preserve the optimum impulse response and thus the risetime and overshoot.
This means that not every sample can be used to update the peer variables, and up to seven samples can be ignored between selected samples. This fact has been carefully considered in the discipline algorithm design with due consideration for feedback loop delay and minimum sampling rate. In engineering terms, even if only one sample in eight survives, the resulting sample rate is twice the Nyquist rate at any time constant and poll interval.
This section discusses how an NTP client determines the system performance using a peer population including reference clocks and remote servers. This is determined for each peer from two statistics, peer jitter and root distance. Peer jitter is determined from various jitter components as described above. It represents the expected error in determining the clock offset estimate. Root distance represents the maximum error of the estimate due to all causes.
The root distance statistic is computed as one-half the root delay of the primary source of time; i.e., the reference clock, plus the root dispersion of that source. The root variables are included in the NTP packet header received from each source. At each update the root delay is recomputed as the sum of the root delay in the packet plus the peer delay, while the root dispersion is recomputed as the sum of the root dispersion in the packet plus the peer dispersion.
Note. In order to avoid timing loops, the root distance is adjusted to the maximum of the above computation and a minimum threshold. The minimum threshold defaults to 1 ms, but can be changed according to client preference using the mindist option of the tos command.
A source is considered selectable only if its root distance is less than the select threshold, by default 1.5 s, but can be changed according to client preference using the maxdist option of the tos command. When an upstream server loses all sources, its root distance apparent to dependent clients continues to increase. The clients are not aware of this condition and continue to accept synchronization as long as the root distance is less than the select threshold.
The root distance statistic is used by the select, cluster and mitigation algorithms. In this respect, it is sometimes called the synchronization distance often shortened simply to distance. The root distance is also used in the following ways.
Root distance defines the maximum error of the clock offset estimate due to all causes as long as the source remains reachable..
Root distance defines the upper and lower limits of the correctness interval. This interval represents the maximum clock offset for each of possibly several sources. The clock select algorithm computes the intersection of the correctness intervals to determine the truechimers from the selectable source population.
Root distance is used by the clock cluster algorithm as a weight factor when pruning outliers from the truechimer population.
The (normalized) reciprocal of the root distance is used as a weight factor by the combine algorithm when computing the system clock offset and system jitter.
Root distance is used by the mitigation algorithm to select the system peer from among the cluster algorithm survivors.
The root distance thus functions as a metric in the selection and weighting of the various available sources. The strategy is to select the system peer as the source with the minimum root distance and thus the minimum maximum error. The reference implementation uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm described in the literature, where the goal is to minimize the root distance. The algorithm selects the system peer, from which the system root delay and system root dispersion are inherited.
The algorithms described on the Mitigation Rules and the prefer Keyword page deliver several important statistics. The system offset and system jitter are weighted averages computed by the clock combine algorithm. System offset is best interpreted as the maximum-likelihood estimate of the system clock offset, while system jitter, also called estimated error, is best interpreted as the expected error of this estimate. System delay is the root delay inherited from the system peer, while system dispersion is the root dispersion plus contributions due to jitter and the absolute value of the system offset.
The maximum system error, or system distance, is computed as one-half the system delay plus the system dispersion. In order to simplify discussion, certain minor contributions to the maximum error statistic are ignored. If the precision time kernel support is available, both the estimated error and maximum error are reported to user programs via the ntp_adjtime() kernel system call. See the Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping page for further information.

Q: Getting specific passed parameter from $(document).ready I have a gridview which I want it's rows to expand and display the passed BatchID.
At the moment I'm using href="javascript:switchViews('div<%# Eval("BatchID")%>', 'one');" to pass the information but I can't get the BatchID on the Javascript end.
At the javascript end I should get this information to assign my new rows with an ID so when I toggle them, they don't all get removed, but only the corresponding ones. At the moment, all created tr's get to be removed from every row if toggled and also the text "Hide Details" remains on other rows which are not clicked but their nested tr's get removed.
I have tried to get the BatchID from the params but I don't know how. Any ideas for the above two problems?

Gridview:
   <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>

               <a class="showDetails" href="javascript:switchViews('div<%# Eval("BatchID")%>', 'one');">Show Details

            </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>

A: I highly recommend reading Decoupling Your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

I can't get the BatchID on the Javascript end.

Lets add that to the HTML in a non-coupled way:
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Using_data_attributes)
<a class="showDetails" data-batchid="<%# Eval("BatchID")%>" href="javascript:void(0)">Show Details

Then update your click to get the value and make the call:
(https://api.jquery.com/jquery.data/)
$('.showDetails').click(function () {

  // Show Details DIV
  $(this).closest('tr').find('.details').toggle('fast');

  var batchId = $(this).data('batchid');
  switchViews(batchId, 'one');
})....

I added a valid Href and remove the return false:
Href attribute for JavaScript links: "#" or "javascript:void(0)"?

it's my half birthday today and i wanted a special treat for a special occasion. i don't eat your standard doughnut from krispy kreme or dunkin donuts, but I can remember what a fun treat they used to be! this recipe is a great alternative that brings back all that appreciation for such a fun and yummy indulgence without any of the guilt!
don't let the name fool you. often, gluten-free and vegan treats get a bad rep because they are filled with icky starches and gums that are frankly, worse on the system than just eating the wheat or eggs. but these doughnuts have all the good stuff. the only ingredients i'm not a huge fan of is the sweet rice flour, which is a starchy and binding flour, but i am working on finding a better replacement. baking soda and baking powder aren't great, but you can leave those out if you want! (it may decrease fluffiness).
i don't think you need any more convincing than that. this raw frosting is incredible.
on paper, the doughnuts seem like a big task, but it's not as labor intensive as it looks + practice makes perfect, which means more doughnuts for you!
1 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder (leave out if you want. may not be as fluffy) i left the baking powder + baking soda in!
For the doughnuts: Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir until combined. In another bowl, whisk all of the wet ingredients (milk, applesauce, oil) together until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix (stop when you no longer see dry flour). Let batter sit for 5 minutes. Do not stir after this point. The batter will be very thick and not pourable.
Spoon the batter into the doughnut molds, filling to just below the top of each mold (3 to 6 mm) from the top. Lightly smooth out the top of the batter with a small silicone spatula. Do not pack the batter down.
Bake for 18-23 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Slide a thin spatula around the edges of the doughnut to help loosen them out. Then place on a cooling rack and allow to fully cool before topping.
For the frosting: Add the frosting ingredients into a medium bowl and beat with electric mixers until smooth and fluffy adjusting the amount of cocoa, honey, salt or vanilla as needed. Spread the frosting onto cooled doughnuts and garnish with sprinkles.


Can the Fed and consumers keep rally going?
Stocks gained more than 1% last week and continue to march to record highs. Some key psychological levels are in sight. But will the market keep climbing? That may depend on more news from the Federal Reserve and how much consumers are spending.
She added that the Fed's $85-billion-per-month bond-buying program still has the power to help reduce unemployment.
The Fed will remain in the spotlight this week, as investors parse through minutes from the central bank's last meeting in late October.
The Dow is up more than 20% this year while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have gained more than 25% and 30% respectively. That has raised questions about whether stocks are overvalued. But Yellen assured lawmakers that she's not seeing any major bubbles forming.
Data seems to support that. The S&P 500 is trading at 17 times earnings from last year, just slightly above the historical average of 16, according to Bank of America (BAC) Merrill Lynch.
In the bubble days of 2000, the index was trading at nearly 30 times trailing earnings. And analysts expect earnings will continue to grow next year, which should justify further increases in the broader stock market.
Consumers in focus: Investors will be paying particularly close attention to a slew of earnings reports from some of the nation's largest retailers to get a fresh pulse on how consumers are feeling with the holiday shopping season just around the corner.
Last week, investors received a mixed bag of results from three top retailers. Macy's (M) blew away forecasts but Wal-Mart (WMT) and Kohl's (KSS) both issued disappointing guidance.
Best Buy (BBY) and J.C. Penney (JCP), both of which are in the middle of turnaround plans, are among the first to report next week.
Investors are encouraged by the signs of life from Best Buy. They've sent shares of the once ailing electronics retailer up nearly 270% so far this year, making it the second best-performing stock in the S&P 500, just after Netflix (NFLX). It is scheduled to report earnings on Tuesday.
And even though J.C. Penney is expected on Wednesday to report a wider loss than a year ago and another drop in sales, the stock has rallied lately on hopes the worst is over. Several hedge funds have also bought stakes in J.C. Penney lately, another sign that the stock may have bottomed.
Struggling teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), which is among the worst-performing stocks of the year, is also on tap to report earnings. The company already warned of a big sales decline.
Target (TGT), Gap (GPS) and Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works parent L Brands (LTD) are reporting their latest results this week as well.
Earnings from off-price leaders Ross (ROST) and TJX (TJX), owner of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, as well as discount chain Dollar Tree (DLTR), could show that consumers are continuing to gravitate to retailers that offer the biggest bargains.
Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) are also scheduled to report earnings. Results from these two home improvement retailers are a key gauge of the housing recovery, which has helped boost the economy this year.
The Census Bureau will release October figures for retail sales on Wednesday.


For San Diego Civic Theatre events, the venue recommends parking at the Evan V. Jones Concourse Parkade. The directions below lead directly to that lot.

WATCH: Former Green Bay Packers cheerleader fights back against vicious cyber bullying
By Christine Roberts
A former Green Bay Packers cheerleader took a stand against cyberbullying in a moving YouTube video after people posted vicious comments, including "Doesn't get any uglier. Truly an eyesore." about her appearance on Facebook.
A Chicago Bears fan page on Facebook has taken down a vicious post about a former Green Bay Packers cheerleader after she made an emotional video decrying cyber bullying last week.
The image of Kaitlyn Collins, posted with the caption "Like if You Agree The Packers Have the Worst Cheerleaders In The NFL," drew nearly 2,000 comments, many of them hurtful and vulgar, before it was removed.
"I was a little taken aback," Collins told a local FOX affiliate. "I couldn't believe that some of those words were said and the way they were said."
In her now viral YouTube video, Collins holds up a series of signs describing the comments posted in response to the picture, which was taken while she was a cheerleader for the Wisconsin team in 2009.
"Doesn't get any uglier. Truly an eyesore," read one.
"I'd still f--- her but only from behind with a paper back over her head," read another.
Others rallied in support of Collins.
Kaitlyn Collins said she immediately asked Facebook to take down the picture and hurtful comments; but the social media site said the image did not qualify as cyber bullying.
"Wow... even as a Bear's fan I think that was mean... She isn't ugly... and she is also someones daughter..." wrote one user.
Collins said she and her friends petitioned Facebook to take down the image and the nasty comments when they went up on Feb. 4; but the social media site said that the photo did not qualify as cyber bullying.
"Please help me to get this picture taken down and horrible comments removed!!" she pleads in the video.
"Thankfully I have an amazing support system full of wonderful friends and family telling me that I am beautiful," she continues. "What about the people who don't have that at home? What will happen to them when something like this happens?"
Collins also garnered the support of retired Packers wide receiver Donald Driver and Packers guard T.J. Lang, both of whom retweeted the young woman's video.
The unofficial Chicago Bears fan page finally pulled the post on Feb. 8 , adding that "there's no need for bullying."
Collins said she hopes her experience will teach others about the dangers of cyber bullying.
"We would like to apologize once again to anyone who found the picture of the Cheerleader offensive," the page wrote in another post published on Feb. 9. "We would also like to send an apology to the Cheerleader herself (Kaitlyn Collins) whose picture was posted.
"Moving forward we will monitor the comments better so we can delete one's that are out of line."
Now that the Facebook post has been removed, Collins, who works as a middle school cheerleading coach, said she hopes her story will teach others about the dangers of cyber bullying.
"Have a second thought before they type those nasty words or say those nasty words to somebody," she told FOX 11. "You never know how it might, how a person might take it and how it might affect their life."

HomeNewsLocal share for Muskoka's new hospitals could rise
Local share for Muskoka's new hospitals could rise
By Mathew Reisler
Tuesday Dec. 20th, 2022
Moreen Miller, Chair of the MAHC Board of Directors, speaking on Dec. 19 at the Huntsville District Memorial Hospital (Photo credit: Mathew Reisler)
The local share for Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) to build new hospitals in Bracebridge and Huntsville could rise to $225 million over the next five to 10 years.
Moreen Miller, Chair of the MAHC Board of Directors, explains the Ministry of Health will cover 70 percent of the costs associated with constructing the new hospitals. "The communities' share can be up to 30 percent of the total project cost including all furnishings, fixtures, and equipment in the buildings, plus any revenue, generating space such as parking lots and gift shops that the ministry won't pay for," she continues.
"That number could be lower, or could be higher, depending on how the final design of the hospital works out through the team that is working on it now," says Miller.
The previous estimate for how much the hospital and local share would cost was done in 2019. The numbers amounted to $561 million and $129 million, respectively. However, Miller explains the current estimate by MAHC is that the cost of the project is estimated to rise to $967 million in the next five to 10 years and, likewise, the local share could rise to $225 million. That is due, in part, to the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation of construction-related costs, and supply chain challenges that hospital officials expect will continue to affect them going forward.
Miller told Bracebridge council on Dec. 14 MAHC needs to have a plan for how they will get the local share by June 2023.
"For Muskoka's future hospitals to proceed to tender, we have to show how our community will pay for its share of the project, and if we can't demonstrate our plan to do so our project will not move forward," says Miller.
The plan to build the new hospitals is currently in the third part of the first of three phases that are part of the early planning stages. The last part of the first phase will wrap up in Sept. 2023. The earliest construction could begin is five years from now as part of the project's third phase. "We believe getting it in a little earlier gives a better position for the ministry to review and approve our submission quickly," explains Miller.
The plan is to build a new hospital in Huntsville on the same land the current hospital occupies on 100 Frank Miller Dr. while the new Bracebridge hospital will be made on yet-to-be-determined land. According to hospital officials, the old hospital at 75 Ann St. could be sold or repurposed.
"We know how important it is for the region, not only to us but also for our greater communities, to have high quality, safe care through two new hospitals," says Miller. "There is certainly more to come and it's important to recognize the project cost will continue to evolve as we move through the planning process and get closer to a shovel in the ground."
Officials say the Local Share Committee, which involves political officials from throughout Muskoka as well as the hospital foundations in Huntsville and South Muskoka, will "continue to work collaboratively toward determining each party's contribution with the collective goal to demonstrate the community's ability to raise its share of the project to build two new hospitals."
Harrison and Miller have already spoken to Bracebridge and Huntsville councils about the situation and plan to meet with the remaining four councils in early 2023.


Discussion in 'other security issues & news' started by Franklin, Sep 15, 2008.
A German company has come up with a program it claims can protect against the biggest weak spot of most encryption systems -- keyloggers that record passphrases as they are entered.
Encryption is widely seen as a solution to the woes of data security, locking data behind near-unbreakable algorithms. But that assumes the password or phrase used to access the encrypted data is itself secure.
The system works around a virtual keyboard feature, built into the encryption utility TurboCrypt, which can encrypt keyboard characters on-the-fly, before keylogging or screen capture malware has had a chance to record what is being entered.
How is this different from Keyscrambler?
There is no link to the mentioned software.
Thanks guys! FYI: In terms of keylogger interception protection kaspersky virtual keyboard is bulletproofed too in relation to what I tested.
Very interesting piece of software,if it works as promised,thanks Franklin and Thankful.
What i didnt understand by reading their site is if you've got to download the whole TurboCrypt in order to use it (as it would seem logical) and ,more importantly, if it is already part of the offered, onsight download.
In other words,how do you proceed?
Thanks Meriadoc, viewing the presentation you provided dispelled all my previous doubts and now i have a clear picture.
It seems worth trying,at least.
Can it bypass installed kernel based keyloggers like Elite keylogger?
Looks interesting however they are advocating their new cipher called CMC. Makes me a little nervous about the company in general. Why not just use AES?
I fully agree with you. Linux is far away from making real fun with this small software offer in relation to windows.
Makes me a little nervous about the company in general. Why not just use AES?

Moroto-Lokitanyala road to boost regional integration
by INDEPENDENT.CO.UG
in INDEPENDENT UGANDA
Legislators on the Physical Infrastructure Committee assess civil works for upgrading of Moroto – Lokitanyala road (42km) from gravel to paved bituminous standard.
Kampala, Uganda | Ian Katusiime | The upgrading of the 42km Moroto-Lokitanyala road from gravel to bituminous standard has been billed as a boon for regional integration. The road from Moroto town skirting deep into Karamoja up to the Uganda Kenya border has been hailed as a timely intervention for boosting trade and transport between the two countries. It also has a link to the Kapchorwa Suam road that was recently completed.
MPs on the Physical Infrastructure Committee (PIC) toured the road as they traversed roads in the north-eastern part of the country. Using the Soroti-Akisim-Moroto road, the MPs made a stopover in Soroti where they inspected the town roads and Soroti university roads that UNRA constructed. The next stop for the MPs was the Komolo bridge. This new bridge replaced the one that was previously built in 1958. The new bridge enables the connectivity between Moroto and Mbale, ensuring the smooth flow of trade between the two regions.
The upgrading of the road will reduce vehicle operating costs and improve social services delivery and trading opportunities. Over the last 24 years, Ugandan exports to Kenya have steadily increased at an annualized rate of 12.7 percent-up from US$16.1 million in 1995 to US$282 million in 2019 — mainly due to increased exports of maize, milk, and sugar. Likewise, Uganda is Kenya's leading export destination in Africa, accounting for 28.6 percent of Kenya's total exports on the continent in 2019. Key Kenyan exports to Uganda include refined petroleum, palm oil, iron, and salt. The Moroto-Lokitanyala road will enhance and grow trade between Uganda and Kenya by providing a new access route for goods and services between the two nations, "We are committed to supporting Government of Uganda by constructing world class roads," Allen Kagina, UNRA executive director said.

Blood Center Partners With UW To Expand Cord Blood Program
SEATTLE, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- A new partnership between the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) and Puget Sound Blood Center offers hope for people in need of cord blood stem cell transplants as part of their medical therapy.
Representatives from the Cord Blood Program at Northwest Tissue Center/Puget Sound Blood Center announced that the UWMC became a partnering hospital in July. The Cord Blood Program was launched in 1997 after medical researchers determined that stem cells from cord blood could treat many of the same diseases as bone marrow transplants. The program offers expectant mothers the opportunity to save lives by donating their umbilical cord blood -- which contains the stem cells used to treat patients with leukemia, anemias of the blood, Hodgkin's lymphoma, immune deficiency disorders, bone marrow deficiencies and many other life-threatening diseases.
The addition of the UWMC now means that the Cord Blood Program partners with two of the largest birthing centers in the state. In addition to the UW, the other birthing center is Swedish Medical Center -- the state's largest.
The alliance enhances the Cord Blood Program's capacity to meet an increasing need for these life-saving cells. The program provides cord blood stem cells to people locally and nationally.
"This agreement puts our Cord Blood Program in a favorable position to dramatically increase the amount of cord blood collected in this region," said Dr. Jonathan Drachman, medical director of the program and a Blood Center researcher. "The availability of higher quality, or 'usable,' cord blood units increases the likelihood that patients in need of a stem cell transplant are able to receive one."
"Usable" units contain higher stem cell concentrations. Greater stem cell concentrations tend to increase the likelihood of a successful transplant. Though it is too early to qualify the impact of this relationship on the community's access to cord blood, Drachman projected that it could nearly double the number of units collected by the program.
As the only non-profit community cord blood bank in Western Washington, the Blood Center trains hospital medical staff and provides the medical expertise in the collection, processing, storage and distribution of blood collected from donated umbilical cords.
National changes in cord blood transplantation and an increasing number of patient inquiries about donating cord blood proved to be strong indicators that a partnership served the interests of the community. With private, for- profit cord blood programs proliferating across the country, the university believed that working with a non-profit community-focused cord blood program was best.
"There is tremendous community support for this type of program," said Gigi Jurich, M.N., nurse manager in the medical center's Perinatal Services. "We know that as the only non-profit cord blood program in the state, any cord blood collected by Puget Sound Blood Center will be used first to help patients in our community."
Prior to the agreement, the Blood Center's Cord Blood Program underwent a thorough review process by the University of Washington's Institutional Review Board (IRB), an entity that exists to ensure that medical programs offer the highest standards in-patient care possible. The university's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology also evaluated the program in the approval process, as this is where the cord blood collections will actually take place. The Cord Blood program will allow patients to donate their cord blood for possible clinical use or donate to researchers at the UW and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center for work related to the treatment of cancer and blood disorders.
After being trained by Cord Blood Program specialists, the staff in the Labor and Delivery Department at UWMC will collect the cord blood from consented patients and send it to the Blood Center for processing and storage.
Participating hospitals now include UW Medical Center, Swedish Medical Center's Ballard and First Hill campuses, as well as Kapi'olani, Tripler, Queen's and Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers in Hawaii. To learn more about the Cord Blood program, call 206-292-1896 or 1-800-DONATE-1, extension 1896 or visit http://www.psbc.org/.
About Northwest Tissue Center

John Cryan is said to like a fixer-upper. But as his flirtatious longing for the safest, most boring banking job in the world shows, his taste for the troubled may have its limits.
That company is Deutsche Bank, and at the moment, it is resolutelynotfuntoberunning it. Indeed, to repair the jewel in Germany's capitalist crown, Cryan finds himself on his hands and knees ripping out moldy bathroom tile himself.
Mr. Cryan, a cerebral British banker, is even getting down into the minutia. He is personally helping to decide which complex derivatives trades to close as he tries to free up scarce financial resources for better investments.
This would be all well and good for a handy sort like Cryan, who soon enough will get to clean up the mess on his own when his indicted co-general contractor steps into well-earned retirement. But the thing about DIY projects is, they're only really satisfying if the thing you're doing is, you know, doable. Which fixing Deutsche Bank might not be.
The market now effectively values Deutsche at a third of its liquidation value, an astonishing discount that suggests investors do not believe that Mr. Cryan will be able to squeeze solid earnings out of the bank's businesses….
Mr. Cryan finds himself battling on three fronts. The bank has to simultaneously shore up its balance sheet, produce dependable profits and satisfy the demands of frustrated regulators, particularly those in the United States….
Thanks for the reassurance, Jim.


Aria.. my little spit fire. We arrived at the Cents of Style wall and she saw some girls doing a photo shoot, so she wanted a photo shoot. So we obliged. She wanted to walk up and down all the different colors. She loved the yellow wall. The wall that was being occupied of course so she had a few little melt downs until we got the wall to ourselves.
When dressing Aria for Valentines Day, I take into an account of where we will be. Since we will probably be out for pizza I want her to look cute, warm, and festive. This coat was a great find at Sam's Club. They have some pretty cute things for kids, a lot of Carter's clothing etc. She know has this coat in white, pink and black. For $10 who could go wrong.
I made this cute red bow using this pattern. I love making bows for her. It is kind of an addiction. I then added these adorable riding boots. I got these on a super sale last year from the Children's Place. She is just so cute I cannot stand it.

When is there no going back on a trade?
In Settlers of Catan, what are the precise rules for when a trade is completed and there is no going back? For example, if player 1 asks if anyone is looking to trade a resource for another resource and player 2 agrees, is player 1 bound to that trade or do both parties have to then agree on an exact trade before continuing?
In other words, is offering a trade to all players an implicit agreement to a specific trade with a particular player? If not, is there any way to agree on trades that does not result in showing what's in your hand?
Matthew Fennell

Are you suggesting that "will anyone trade a sheep for an ore?" should be interpreted as "I will trade one sheep for one ore with the first person who agrees to it"? – Cascabel♦ Mar 30 '16 at 20:53
Personally I think it shouldn't, but this was the debate that came up in play that we couldn't agree on – Matthew Fennell Mar 30 '16 at 21:03
I don't see any way you could negotiate a trade without revealing anything about what's in your hand. Both parties need to know what is being traded. I suppose you could trade a brick for two unnamed resources, but I've never seen that happen. – Nuclear Wang Mar 31 '16 at 10:40
I've seen people offering to trade, hoping to obtain wheat, asking the table if anyone has any for trade. Then before closing the deal, they play a monopoly on wheat. AFAIK that's a legal move, but it doesn't win you any friends and can cost you the game. – freekvd Mar 31 '16 at 11:04
The type of rule you are asking for is similar to the Chess rule that says...
Once the hand is taken off a piece after moving it, the move cannot be retracted (unless the move is illegal)."
Catan rules aren't that specific, unfortunately. There is no rule in Catan that covers when a trade is complete with this level of detail. Therefore, it is up to you and your play group. If I were in your play group, I would argue that a trade is complete when the cards have physically changed hands. That is how goods exchanges work in real life - I give you money, you give me goods.
If you allow trades to be taken back after cards have exchanged hands, then you have to remember what cards you traded. More importantly, you have to still have the cards, and not have spent them.
If you don't allow trades to be taken back before cards have exchanged hands, then what happens if I don't have the cards I said I would trade? Maybe I wanted to bluff that I had a card for trade just so the other guy would get a worse deal.
Bluffing is generally an acceptable practice in any game that involves hidden information. But, the difference between lying and bluffing is not always clear. In Catan, you just have to know it when you see it. For example, saying "I have wheat." when I really don't is a bluff by any reasonable definition of the word, but saying "I have seven cards." when I really have eight is just a lie. If your group is not okay with bluffing, then your play group may need to create a house rule that prohibits it. Otherwise, it's fair game.
RainboltRainbolt
I think the OP is proposing a system where you preserve hand secrecy as much as possible, at the cost of removing most of the flexibility of negotiation. You would just make a specific trade offer, then as soon as anyone accepts it, you're both bound to make that exact trade. You just wouldn't be allowed to bluff. And if you wanted to try to trade with a specific person preferentially, you'd have to offer just to them first. – Cascabel♦ Mar 30 '16 at 20:59
@Jefromi I interpreted the question as simply "When are take backs allowed?" I don't think the OP was proposing a new system - he was just providing examples. – Rainbolt Mar 30 '16 at 21:07
Okay, well, one way or another that system (offer+agreement is binding) was under discussion, whether it was the OP or someone they played who suggested it. I was trying to point out that, for example, the issues in your last paragraph are part of that system: you get more hand secrecy, but you can't really bluff or negotiate. – Cascabel♦ Mar 30 '16 at 21:17
@Jefromi Oh, I see. I assumed that bluffing was an acceptable part of any board game, but you are pointing out that that may not be the case if your play group implements a system that doesn't allow bluffing. When I have time, I'll add a corrolary to MTG and explain the difference between bluffing and lying, and explain that while the rules of Catan don't say anything specifically about bluffing, it is probably acceptable unless your play group says it isn't. – Rainbolt Mar 30 '16 at 21:59
Yeah, it's definitely acceptable in general, it's just this particular convention that'd remove the ability to do it. (And my impression is that it'd mostly be an incidental consequence - you'd pick this convention more because of the hand secrecy issue.) – Cascabel♦ Mar 30 '16 at 22:02
Trades are done when cards change hands, not before, not after. Another player isn't allowed to take cards that are in my hand, I can only give them. If I propose a trade and then change my mind, the other player has no recourse for obtaining the card I offered, unless I consent to the trade. Similarly, once the cards have changed hands, I have no way of forcing my opponent to give it back if I change my mind. In Catan, possession is ten tenths of the law.
Proposing a trade to the table as a whole is usually just a shortcut for proposing it to one player at a time. Even if the leading opponent is the first to speak up about a trade, I would much prefer to trade with someone who isn't winning. Again, even if he's the first to "accept" the trade, he has no way of forcing me to carry it out.
Nuclear WangNuclear Wang
The rules don't explicitly declare it as "locked in and done" at any one point. Catan isn't MTG; the rules aren't that specific. It's a social game, so the first rule is don't be an asshole. That said, you can say you have an open call to trade wheat for bricks, but that is just a matter of you letting the other players know what you want. Exposing the cards in your hand isn't required, AFAIK. That means that in regards to your specific example, you could put out an open trade agreement on your own turn, then if another player wants to trade with you on their turn and offers it to you you can take it up. However, you are never obligated to make a trade.
As far as take-backs, etc goes, generally the trade is considered done when both people have exchanged cards. But the specific timing of that is up to your group. I would not allow trade-backs once any other action (negotiation, card usage, rolls, etc) has taken place.
Nicholas MansfieldNicholas Mansfield
I have very important addition to this part of Rainbolt's answer. Catan is game without hidden information. By the rules and how it is implemented in Catan Universe online version, every move in terms of resources is open to everyone. When you gather resources from first settlement, when you roll the dice, when you trade (both people and bank), when you buy, every person have to see what you get and what you give out. Hence, you can remember all resources that every player has. As I see trade, you can't offer resource that you don't have.
Proposing a trade to the table as a whole is usually just a shortcut for proposing it to one player at a time.
If you have several options to trade, e.g. two or three players agree to trade, you select the one that is good for you. If you don't want to trade with specific player (who have 9 points or you just don't like that guy) you can decline trade request.
IgorIgor
I don't think the fact that all gaining and losing of resources is public is relevant here. A lot of games make it technically possible to fully track who has what at all times, yet still expects memory and tracking ability to be a big part of the skill of the game. (In Dominion, the designer has specifically said that taking notes is not allowed, because remembering what people have is one of the skills that the game seeks to employ). It's the same with Catan; being able to remember what resources a player is holding is a skill that can help you do well in the game. – GendoIkari Jul 12 '16 at 14:08

Examples of Federal Payroll Tax Fraud and Federal Unemployment Insurance Fraud Cases
Two men in Florida were sentenced to spend two years in federal prison for their respective roles in a scheme to avoid paying mandatory federal payroll taxes. The two men, who are Honduran nationals, operated a construction company through which they employed individuals who were not authorized to work in the United States. The two men were able to employ these undocumented workers by paying them through shell companies. By paying the workers through shell companies, the two men were able to hide the fact that the workers were employed by them, thus avoiding the payment of federal payroll taxes. The two men, in addition to their prison sentences, will have to pay over $6 million to the IRS in restitution.
An Illinois man who was president of a concrete company was sentenced to spend 3 months in prison for his role in a scheme to avoid paying federal payroll taxes. The Illinois man would under-report the number of hours his employees worked on monthly time sheets. This under-reporting would lower the concrete company's payroll tax liability. To perpetuate his scheme, the man would pay his employees under the table to make sure they were fully compensated for their work, but these payments were not reported to the IRS. In addition to his prison sentence, the man was ordered to pay over $600,000 in restitution to the IRS.
A man from Ohio, who was a former Job Corps Center Director, was sentenced to spend 37 months in a federal prison for his role in a scheme to not pay federal payroll taxes. The man oversaw the Cleveland Job Corps Center and during his tenure the Department of Labor paid $15 million to the Cleveland Center in order to pay staff and workers. The former director took almost $1.5 million from the Department of Labor's payments and converted that money to his own use. The $1.5 million was supposed to be withheld from employee's checks in order to pay payroll taxes. In addition to his prison sentence, the man will have to pay back the $1.5 million as restitution to the IRS.
A woman from New York was sentenced for her role in a money laundering scheme that involved the illegal non-payment of federal payroll taxes. The woman ran an electric company where she would falsify invoices from vendors and demand payments to her company be in cash. The woman would then pay her employees partially in cash, thus underreporting how much payroll expense her company had. The woman avoided paying substantial payroll taxes since she did not correctly report her payroll expense. As a result of the scheme, the woman will have to pay back $1.8 million she kept and converted to her own use.
A landscaping executive from Rhode Island pleaded guilty to his role in a scheme involving federal payroll taxes. According to the plea agreement, the man would send reports to the State of Rhode Island that underreported the number of hours his employees worked and the amount of money his employees received on federally funded projects. The man underreported the number of hours his employees worked to lessen his payroll tax liability. As a result of the scheme, the man did not pay $170,000 he owed in payroll taxes.
A California man was sentenced to spend nine years in prison for his role in an unemployment insurance fraud scheme. The man stole personal identifying information from hundreds of individuals and then used that information to submit false unemployment claims to the California Employment Development Department (CEDD). CEDD approved the false claims and unknowingly paid them, which proceeds were converted by the man for his own use. In addition to his prison sentence, the man will pay $350,000 in restitution to the CEDD.
A man from Illinois will serve sixty months in prison for his role in defrauding the Connecticut state employment department and his attempt to defraud 37 other states' employment departments. The man used stolen personal information from identity theft victims to file fraudulent unemployment claims with the Connecticut Department of Labor. The man had the unemployment benefits paid out on various debit cards which he would then convert for his own use. The man attempted the same scheme in 37 other states but was caught before any other benefits were paid. In addition to his prison sentence, the man will pay $65,000 in restitution to the state of Connecticut.
A Florida man was convicted by jury for his role in an unemployment fraud scheme. According to evidence presented at trial, the man along with his co-conspirators stole personal information from individuals they worked with and then used that information to file false unemployment claims via Florida's electronic filing system. Once the claims were approved, then man directed the proceeds to his personal bank account. As a result of his conviction, the man will spend thirty months in prison and will have to pay $20,000 in restitution.
A man residing in Michigan was sentenced to spend thirty-six months in prison for his participation in a scheme where he falsified unemployment insurance claims. The man stole personal information from unknowing individuals and then used that information to file false unemployment insurance claims. In order to use the money paid out by the claims, then man would impersonate the individuals (from whom he stole the personal information) at ATMs in order to withdraw money. In addition to his prison sentence, the man will also have to pay $330,000 in restitution.
A Las Vegas woman was convicted for her role in an unemployment benefit scheme. To facilitate her scheme, the woman created fake business and registered these fake businesses with the Nevada Secretary of State. She then used stolen personal information from numerous individuals to create fake employee profiles for these businesses. After a specific amount of time, the woman dissolved the fake businesses and used the stolen personal information that she used for her "employees" to file unemployment insurance claims. Once the claims were approved and paid, the woman used the money for her own use. As a result of her conviction, the woman was sentenced to twenty-six months in prison and ordered to pay $182,000 in restitution.

Who Matched and Who Didn't? | Nutrition Fit
The National Resident Matching Program (NMRP) announced this afternoon that this year's Main Residency Match was the largest in its history.
A total of 38,106 positions were offered, up 850 spots (2.3%) from 2020. Of those, 35,194 were first-year (PGY-1) positions, which was 928 more than the previous year (2.7%). A record 5915 programs were part of the Match, 88 more than 2020.
"The application and recruitment cycle was upended as a result of the pandemic, yet the results of the Match continue to demonstrate strong and consistent outcomes for participants," Donna L. Lamb, DHSc, MBA, BSN, NRMP president and CEO, said in a news release.
The report comes amid a year of Zoom interview fatigue, canceled testing, and virus fears and work-arounds, which the NMRP has never had to wrestle with since it was established in 1952.
Despite challenges, fill rates increased across the board. Of the 38,106 total positions offered, 36,179 were filled, representing a 2.6% increase over 2020. Of the 35,194 first-year positions available, 33,535 were filled, representing a 2.9% increase.
Those rates drove the percentage of all positions filled to 94.9% (up from 94.6%) and the percentage of PGY-1 positions filled to 94.8% (also up from 94.6%). There were 1927 unfilled positions, a decline of 71 (3.6%) from 2020.
Primary Care Results Strong
Some Specialties Filled All Positions
Less Celebrations, More Emails
Of the first-year positions offered, 17,649 (49.6%) were in family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. That's an increase of 514 positions (3%) over 2020.
Of first-year positions offered in 2021, 16,860 (95.5%) were filled. US seniors took 11,013 (65.3%) of those slots; that represents a slight decline (0.3%) from 2020. Family medicine saw a gain of 63 US MD seniors who matched, and internal medicine saw a gain of 93 US DO seniors who matched.

PGY-1 specialties with 30 positions or more that filled all available positions include dermatology, emergency medicine, pediatrics, neurologic surgery, otolaryngology, integrated plastic surgery, and vascular surgery.
PGY-1 specialties with 30 positions or more that filled more than 90% with US seniors include dermatology (100%), emergency medicine (93.6%), pediatrics (93.5%), otolaryngology (93.2%), orthopedic surgery (92.8%), and integrated plastic surgery (90.4%).
PGY-1 specialties with at least 30 positions that filled less than 50% with US seniors include pathology (41.4 %) and surgery–preliminary (28%).
The number of US citizen international medical graduates (IMGs)who submitted rank-ordered lists was 5295, an increase of 128 (2.5%) over 2020 and the highest in 6 years; 3152 of them matched to first-year positions, down two PGY-1 matched applicants over last year.
The number of non-US citizen IMGs who submitted ranked lists grew by 1036, to 7943, a 15% increase over 2020; 4356 of them matched to first-year positions, an increase of 134 (3.2%) and the highest number ever.
Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) President and CEO William W. Pinsky, MD, said in a press release that he was pleased with the results. "IMGs play an important role in providing supervised patient care, contribute much needed diversity to our nation's health care system, and help to address the nation's growing physician shortage that is being exacerbated by the pandemic," he said.
The higher numbers among non-US citizen IMGs was one of the biggest surprises in the report, Bryan Carmody, MD, MPH, told Medscape Medical News. Carmody is a pediatrician with the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, in Norfolk, Virginia, and is a frequent critic regarding medical education issues.

"I expected that the disruption to the USMLE [United States Medical Licensing Examination], the ECFMG's new 'pathways' to replace Step 2 CS, the challenges with travel and completing US electives, etc, would have decreased the number of IMG applicants," he said.
Troy Amen, MD, MBA, co-president of his class at Harvard Medical School, was thrilled to find that he had matched into orthopedic surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. His fiancé, a Harvard Business School student, landed a job at a consulting group in downtown New York.
"We're thrilled we're going to be in the same city," Amen said. "We're getting married this summer, and everything has just fallen into place."
As is the case across the country, because of COVID-10, Harvard medical school students opened up emails at the same time and celebrated with the deans in a series of Zoom calls.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the worst form of match news came early for Kolin Meehan, MD, who graduated in December from West Virginia University School of Medicine, in Morgantown. He got news on Monday that he had not matched through the main route. On Thursday morning, he found that he had matched through the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program.
"This week was the worst roller-coaster of emotions in my life," Meehan told Medscape Medical News. He quickly scrambled to get more letters of recommendation after seeking last-minute interviews and advice from deans and attendings. Still, he says, the process works. He will start an internal medicine residency in July at Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point in Hudson, Florida.

Carmody said the biggest lesson from today's numbers "is that the Match is not fragile.

"Applicants have a strong incentive to match, and programs have a strong incentive to fill, and those incentives were enough to largely overcome the real challenges that this year's application cycle presented," he said. "You could look at the relatively stable Match rate and conclude that everything's hunky-dory and nothing needs to be improved about the residency application process. But instead, I think the better lesson is that there is room to innovate and improve. The Match isn't going to break if we make changes."

Six Nations 2015 – The Math
Dual blogged on I'm Talkin' Here
After four rounds and some pulsating rugby coupled with the dour we now have a three way tie for the championship going into the final weekend. On top of that, if a mass sequence of miracles occur we could even see France sneak into contention, though Wales aren't likely to fall to Italy. Break out the calculators guys, we're going number crunching.
England sit atop the table with 37 points in their favour versus Ireland's 33. In simple terms that means Ireland must beat Scotland by five points more than England beat France. For example, if England V France ends 21 – 12 in favour of the Rose (likely the biggest possible margin that will come out of that game) then Ireland would be looking for 26 – 12 versus the Scots or more. When you see those hypothetical scorelines written down it doesn't look all that impossible given that France have a win behind them and England showed weakness against Scotland and Ireland.
We're forgetting Wales though, who are now back in contention after their epic display against Ireland. The Welsh are on 12 points which doesn't sit them too far behind the leaders, but worst for them is going to be the fact that they play first on Saturday. Any team has a risk associated with them when they are chasing points, though the last team to successfully do so in the Six Nations was indeed Wales in 2013 against England. That said, Wales can hammer Italy 34 nil and still lose out to Ireland based on the suggested scorelines above as Ireland will of course be adding to their points difference too.
Whatever about all of these possible outcomes though we need to rewind to the probables. Ireland will take the field on Saturday and know what they have to do; wrack up the points. In previous years, notably under Eddie O'Sullivan, we would have held more confidence in this situation, but under Schmidt it brings a little more trepidation with it. Look, the knives aren't coming out for Joe after just one loss but it can't be ignored that Ireland have not been scoring tries and more importantly, have been winning games by the smallest margins. Is it possible to change the game plan sufficiently in seven days to get them across the line at least three times, given that is likely what will be required. We can only wait and see.
Whatever happens this weekend, we do need to keep in mind that Ireland will still, most likely, finish second at worst. They will have been the most consistent team in the tournament, they will have only been knocked out of the race by the best in Wales while we were all too busy looking at England and above all else, they will still have a great squad and backroom team ahead of the World Cup. The months between then and this weekend will be long and those thoughts will be hard to focus on but Ireland stand better than they have in such a long time and that needs to be remembered.
Saturday's maths lesson:
Wales to win by 21 or less than Ireland do
Ireland to win by a large margin and hope that it is five points more than England manage against France.
Or just Wales and England to lose if they could oblige…

Q: Add index to duplicated items in Pandas Series I wrote the following function to add indexes to duplicates in a series:
(["foo", "foo", "foo", "bar", "bar"]
becomes ["foo 1", "foo 2", "foo 3", "bar 1", "bar 2"])
def indexer(series):
  all_labels = []
  for title in set(series):
    label = []
    i = 0
    while i < len(series):
      if title == series.iloc[i]:
        label.append(title)
      i += 1
    all_labels.append(label)
  final = []
  for item in all_labels:
    if len(item) > 1:
      for i, label in enumerate(item):
        final.append(label + " " + str(i+1))
    else:
      final.append(item[0])
  return final

There is obviously a better and cleaner way to do this, probably using Pandas groupby and agg (although I'm not sure how they behave with a single series instead of df). Would someone please shed some light on how to do it? Thanks

A: If it's a DataFrame you can use groupby to find a cumulative count which is the label you want to concatenate to all your strings, and note the groups don't have to be in order:
df = pd.DataFrame(["foo", "foo", "bar", "bar", "foo"], columns=["baz"])
labels = df.groupby("baz").cumcount() + 1
df["baz"] + " " + labels.astype(str)

which results in
0    foo 1
1    foo 2
2    bar 1
3    bar 2
4    foo 3
dtype: object

However this will also add the  1 label to any unique values. Did you want those to remain unchanged? I assumed not since you're starting the others at  1 instead of leaving the first in each group unchanged.

A: If single appearance needs to be left alone.

['foo', 'foo', 'foo', 'bar', 'bar', 'John']

mylist = list(df)
m = map(lambda x: x[1]+ " " + str(mylist[:x[0]].count(x[1]) + 1) if mylist.count(x[1]) > 1 else x[1], enumerate(mylist))
m = list(m)
df = pd.Series(m)
df

Output:
0    foo 1
1    foo 2
2    foo 3
3    bar 1
4    bar 2
5    John
dtype: object

John didn't get any number with him. Hurray!

Film-Noir, Drama, black comedy, fritz lang
German director Fritz Lang is best known for the highly influential films from relatively early in his career, especially Metropolis (1927) and M (1931). But he also had a brief Hollywood heyday during the mid 1940s, when he made some of his best films. Scarlet Street has been claimed by film noir. This attribution is understandable. The lighting is dark, with heavy use of shadows. The characters are all shady as well. Kitty is certainly a femme fatale, although hints are dropped that she is an inherently decent person who has become completely corrupted by Johnny. Being the most naive, Robinson is also the most sympathetic. But even he eventually turns to crime to fulfill his passions. But while Scarlet Street has elements of film noir, it is in reality a black comedy. While Robinson plays it straight throughout, Bennett and Duryea camp it up marvelously. Bennett laughs when Robinson claims to be a painter: "And here I had you pegged as a cashier!" She also has to suppress laughter when Robinson reveals that he is married, and shock when Duryea passes her off as the mysterious painter.
Scarlet Street is a 1945 American film noir directed by Fritz Lang about a painter who murders a famous artist. based on the French novel La Chienne ("The Bitch") by Georges de La Fouchardière, that previously had been dramatized on stage by André Mouëzy-Éon, and cinematically as La Chienne (1931 in film) by director Jean Renoir.<>.</>
The principal actors Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Duryea had earlier appeared together in The Woman in the Window (1944) also directed by Fritz Lang.

Christopher "Chris" Cross (Edward G. Robinson), a meek, amateur painter and cashier for clothing retailer, J.J. Hogarth & Company, is fêted by his employer, honoring him for twenty-five years of dull, repetitive service. Hogarth presents him with a watch and kind words, then leaves getting into a car with a beautiful young blonde. Walking home through Greenwich Village, Chris muses to an associate, "I wonder what it's like to be loved by a young girl." He helps Kitty (Joan Bennett), an amoral fast-talking femme fatale, he sees apparently being attacked by a man, stunning the assailant with his umbrella. Chris is unaware that the attacker was Johnny (Dan Duryea), Kitty's brutish boyfriend, and sees her safely to her apartment building. Out of gratitude and bemusement, she accepts his offer for a cup of coffee at a nearby bar. From Chris's comments about art, Kitty believes him to be a wealthy painter, adding, "To think I took you for a cashier."
Soon, Chris becomes enamored of her because his loveless marriage is tormented by his shrewish wife Adele (Rosalind Ivan), who idolizes her former husband, a policeman drowned while trying to save a woman. After Chris confesses that he is married, Johnny convinces Kitty to pursue a relationship in order to extort money from Chris. Kitty inveigles him to rent an apartment for her, one that can also be his art studio. To finance an apartment, Chris steals $500 in insurance bonds from his wife and later $1000 from his employer. Meanwhile, Johnny unsuccessfully tries selling some of Chris's paintings, attracting the interest of art critic David Janeway (Jess Barker). Kitty is maneuvered by Johnny into pretending that she painted them, charming the critic with Chris's own descriptions of his art, and Janeway promises to represent her. Adele sees her husband's paintings in the window of a commercial art gallery as the work of "Katherine March" and accuses him of copying her work. Chris confronts Kitty, who claims she sold them because she needed the money. He is so delighted that his paintings are appreciated, albeit only under Kitty's signature, that he happily lets her become the public face of his art. She becomes a huge commercial success, although Chris never receives any of the money.
Adele's supposedly dead first husband, Higgins (Charles Kemper), suddenly appears at Chris's office to extort money from him. He explains he had not drowned but had stolen money from the purse of the suicide he tried to save. Already suspected as corrupt for taking bribes from speakeasy, he had taken the opportunity to escape his crimes and his wife. Chris let Higgins into his wife's room ostensibly so he could get the insurance money from his death but did so when she was asleep in the room, reasoning that his marriage will be invalidated when his wife sees her still-living first husband. Believing he can then marry Kitty, he goes to see her but finds out that Kitty has cheated on him. He later confronts Kitty, but still asks her to marry him; she scoffs him of him being old and single and that she uses to marry him. Enraged with humiliation, he murders Kitty with an ice-pick. Police come to see Chris at his job, but it is not for the murder but his earlier embezzlement. Although his boss uses to press charges, Chris is fired. Johnny is accused, convicted, and put to death for Kitty's murder, despite his attempts to implicate Chris. At the trial, all of their deceptions work against Johnny, and Chris denies painting any of the pictures. Chris goes unpunished but Kitty is erroneously recognized as a great artist. Haunted by the murder, Chris attempts to hang himself. Although rescued, he is impoverished with no way of claiming credit for his own paintings and tormented by thoughts of Kitty and Johnny being together for eternity, loving each other.

With credit counseling, you repay everything you owe. Thankfully, your creditors may agree to waive service fees and lessen interest rates under a DMP. Let a highly skilled credit specialist look at your finances and present you with a quote for how much you could save.
Credit counselors in Midland who work on a for-profit basis and provide solutions over the telephone are restricted by the FTC from billing consumers upfront.
Enrollment in a DMP should not cost more than $75, and the fees each month ought to be only $40. With a debt management program, the money you set aside each month to paying back your credit balances will likely be equal to your minimum credit card payment: 2.5%.
Below is a summary of how much this is, given various levels of unsecured debt.
The credit crunch hurt everyone, and bankruptcies are up in Midland and across Texas. Midland has 114,192 residents, and about 235 have been forced declare bankruptcy. As dictated by law, you must attend a credit counseling course before declaring bankruptcy. The program must be within 6 months of when your filing date.
