AndroidAPS or OpenAPS? The choice is yours.
Having used OpenAPS for nearly two and a half years, with the release of AndroidAPS v2, which incorporated the SMB features of of the oref1 algorithm with which I had become accustomed, I felt it was time to try switching over and seeing how the two compared. Please bear in mind that this is an n=1 use comparison, for a male adult user, so depending on your use case, you may find the outcomes very different.
What we're comparing here are the v2 Master of AndroidAPS using a Roche Accuchek Spirit Combo pump and 0.6.2 Master Release of OpenAPS.
So let's make a start with those.
The first and most obvious difference is shown in the picture at the start of the page. There is no rig with AndroidAPS. Everything runs from a phone, much like Loop on the iPhone.
This obviously means that there are fewer parts to charge and run and fewer things to leave behind.
There is also a watch app that makes the entire system completely usable from the watch, which can be extremely beneficial if you are unable to access your phone during the day.
One of the major differences in form with AAPS, which is similar to Loop, is the ability to see a visualisation of carbohydrate & insulin absorption, plus deviations, which is part of the Overview screen, as shown below.
With OpenAPS, while there is an "On Rig" web interface for visualisation, all interaction has to be undertaken from either the pump or via NightScout (often with the use of IFTTT).
That's the biggest difference in "Form".
At the top level, both AndroidAPS and OpenAPS use the oref family of algorithms to make predictions and deliver insulin doses, from the 0.6.2 Master release of OpenAPS.
Both systems don't require a network connection to operate, although setting up and using OpenAPS as an offline system is more difficult than linking xDrip and AAPS or the modified Dexcom app and AAPS.
AndroidAPS and OpenAPS do have some differences in functionality.
AndroidAPS v2 doesn't include Autotune as a core component of the way it works. As a result, it's not doing the nightly reassessment of ISF, CR and Basal Rates that OpenAPS currently does, although this is envisaged for a future release. If you want to run Autotune, you need to run it independently of your AAPS system.
AndroidAPS includes the ability to switch between profiles within the application itself. On most pumps it's possible to run more than one profile. This is replicated within the app, so you can have more than one profile in NightScout, for example and choose which one you currently want to use.
This setting also includes the ability to increase or decrease your current profile by a percentage (which adjusts basal rates and ISF) and also to adjust the timing of the profile, e.g., switch it forward an hour or two if you're going abroad for the weekend and don't want to adjust your clock time. Both of these settings can be time-limited or run ad infinitum.
In the absence of Autotune, which adjusts basals, ISF and CR based on a regression, and can be provided with wider limits than the default to adjust within, Percentage Profile Switch gives a broad tool to make a similar type of adjustment.
This is a significant difference between the two systems. In OpenAPS, the profile on the pump is held as the reference profile, and any changes such as Autosens and Autotune use this "Pump Profile" as the datum against which they make changes, with a maximum deviation possible.
Within AndroidAPS, when you change your in-app profile, this is written to the pump, so that any variation is from whatever is loaded in the app rather than using the pump as a reference.
Before being able to move into Closed Loop mode, you need to complete the objectives. These are designed to help you set-up and use your loop safely and effectively, with a target of getting your basic settings set-up as optimally as possible.
AndroidAPS can be used with any pump as an Open Loop, unlike OpenAPS which requires a connected Medtronic pump to do so. In Open Loop mode, the system provides notifications when basal rates need adjustment.
OpenAPS uses Pushover to provide "Carbs required" alerts if it thinks you are going low and it can't suspend insulin enough for the predicted drop. AndroidAPS doesn't have this functionality.
OpenAPS doesn't allow you to enter full mealtime boluses from the software. This is done completely from the pump.
AndroidAPS has a built in bolus wizard that calculates how much insulin or carbs you might need and takes CoB and IOB from both Boluses and TBRs into account, as well as sensitivity adjustments. It can also be used from the watch app.
e-Carbs allow you to put a block of carbs in over an extended period of time, and it will be automatically divided up over that period. It's effectively a way to create a square wave bolus using the APS features.
This allows a bolus to be initiated via an SMS text message. This is functionality aimed squarely at caregivers.
Interaction is broken into two pieces. Getting the system set-up and using it.
Setting up AndroidAPS (AAPS) with a Combo requires the AAPS software and Ruffy, which allows pump communication. If you use the DanaRS, then no additional software is required.
I've been building OpenAPS for a couple of years now, so I'm very familiar with how it works, which is basically to run a couple of interactive scripts on the rig you are using. You may, however, need to flash Jubilinux or build the OS onto an SD card for a Pi, both of which are slightly more daunting tasks to many. For AndroidAPS, their is a limited requirement to do anything to the phone, if you have one with Android 8.1.
I didn't find it particularly difficult and had none of the issues with Android Studio that some people have. The walk through in the documents for building AndroidAPS was very easy to follow, but as I am using a Combo, the explanation about what is needed for Ruffy was much less clear. If you understand how to build AAPS, it should make sense, but I can understand why people have had issues.
Once I'd built the APKs, there was also the small issue that Gmail no longer allows APKs to be sent so you have to deploy using something like Dropbox or renaming files. Again, not a hardship, but I can understand how it might put some people off.
Having said that, these types of idiosyncrasies are evident in all three systems, and having to learn about this aspect of AndroidAPS is no different to having to learn about using Linux for OpenAPS or xCode for Loop.
So while building is different, I don't think it's either easier or harder.
Once you have installed Ruffy on your phone and paired your Combo, which seems to have a dependency on the phone brand (it worked very easily on a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 running LineageOS 15.1 but others have had difficulties), and installed AAPS, you're into set-up, by way of the config builder in V2.
For comparison, this is the equivalent of running the OpenAPS install script after you have got the Edison ready, and there is still a fair bit to do.
As you can see, this check box view gives access to all of the potential settings you might want to use with AAPS. As this process leaves the user to choose what they might want, it doesn't automatically start you off with a base install with a known and tested "good install" from which you can evolve.
The big difference between AAPS and OpenAPS is that you can select whether you use the older versions of the oref algorithms and meal assist functionality that have either been superseded or are automatically enabled in OpenAPS, on their own. You can also elect to use different sensitivity models, two of which don't exist in OpenAPS (details here). Additionally, some hidden preferences in OpenAPS are fully visible in AAPS.
Otherwise, the options available are more or less the same as those in OpenAPS. This does open up the possibility of combinations that have not had a large amount of testing.
Once you've completed the config builder, that's when AAPS can start to be used.
As mentioned previously, the objectives need to be completed before you can go closed loop, and a subsection of this is using the system in Open Loop mode, where you are offered suggestions about changes to basal rates to accommodate changes in glucose. Once you are through the objectives, you are into real world use.
Generally, I use a model of easy bolusing and entering rough carb amounts via IFTTT on a watch when using OpenAPS. Then I leave it to get on with smoothing out the differences. I observe the current state using one of a watchface, NightScout or the inbuilt web interface that runs on the OpenAPS rig. It's a kind of "Superbolus and go" model.
I don't use a bolus calculator for determining bolus for carbs. Instead I let OpenAPS manage the guesswork part of any food I eat.
That's pretty much it, and has delivered around 85% time in range using a 3.9mmol/l (70mg/dl) to 10 mmol/l (180mg/dl) range.
The biggest benefit for me in day-to-day use was the reduction in devices that I needed to carry around. As the pump is always connected, and the phone is also my CGM receiver, it reduced the gear I needed and also the amount of charging required. Even using the Combo, which isn't Bluetooth efficient, it's considerably more efficient than using Bluetooth tethering with an OpenAPS rig. The difference is around 8 hours more battery life in the phone between charges, which isn't a bad thing.
Given my described usage model for OpenAPS, I was used to delivering an easy bolus, pressing an IFTTT button or two on the watch and then leaving OpenAPS to get on with it, and then getting alerted by OpenAPS when it thought I was heading low.
Historically I'd used a variety of Watchfaces that displayed looping information either from the rig or from NightScout, so the watch display was also something I was useful.
As an adult male user, where I've really seen the difference in terms of interactions relates to bolusing and a lesser extent, to carb entry.
Initially, I didn't have a WearOS watch, so all bolusing activity required me to take the phone out of my pocket, open it, select the insulin option in AAPS (assuming that AAPS was open on the phone), enter a dose (either select the dose window, enter a number on the keypad and hit ok or press the "easy dose buttons" to add specific amounts), select ok, then confirm the dose, and then wait for it to deliver. Compared to pressing the up arrow six times, then pressing okay, waiting for six buzzes and pressing okay again, this felt like a very long-winded way of dosing. Getting my phone out also didn't feel particularly discrete. If you are in the process of using your phone, this can be a lot quicker.
I'm aware that I can customise the fast dose buttons on the phone interface to make this quicker, but it was the getting the phone out and unlocking it in the first place that I find the bigger nuisance.
I gave in and bought a Huawei Watch 2 in the December sales, because it has a decent battery life, and that did change the experience. Using the bolusing function from the watch is far less in your face than getting a phone out, however, it can still be more obvious than reaching to your belt and hitting pump buttons, and I have been asked questions as I did it on a couple of occasions. If, however, you wear your pump somewhere hidden, I can see a much greater benefit. The watch interface would probably benefit from the same fast dose buttons that the phone UI has.
It's also worth noting that as an able bodied adult I don't use the "text to bolus" functionality, but again, I can see where a caregiver would find this useful.
I ended up using AAPS in conjunction with NightScout as well, as I find the IFTTT Do-Button functionality on the watch hugely useful for carb entry and realised that I missed it with the standard AAPS set-up. I can see how this would be a useful feature request to allow local specific carb entries as watch app buttons.
Where I have basically alighted is a model where I am using the system in a very similar way to how I used OpenAPS, but using the watch as my primary interface instead of the watch and the pump buttons.
Historically I've relied on the carb absorption model in OpenAPS with the exception of specific meals, namely curries and pizza, where I'd put in a single "late carb" entry in after 3 hours to encourage more aggressive algorithm behaviour after a couple of hours, knowing what the effects of the food are.
I tried using eCarbs to deal with this in a similar way, but I think that requires a level of tuning that is likely to be similar to the problems I had with trying to work out Loop absorption periods. As always, your Diabetes May Vary, so others may find this works quite well.
As can be seen on the earlier picture, like many other aspects of AndroidAPS, the bolus calculator carries a lot of options. In use, while it is supposed to deliver a calculated bolus suggestion, sometimes there is a gut feel that perhaps the value it is suggesting seems a little high, especially after entering carbs for a hypo, and a reduction in suggested insulin is required.
As I've previously mentioned, this isn't functionality I really use, but when I did use it I had occasions where I wasn't always confident in the output.
They often say that you don't miss something until it's gone. I'd argue that this is very true, and especially true with Autotune. I had rather come to rely on it to ensure my dosing was nearly correct.
But why am I mentioning a functionality point in the interaction section? Because it has a direct impact on my interaction with the system.
On flipping to the Combo, I had forgotten one of the golden rules with pumps. They are not all the same. As a result, it's fair to say that I initially had a few issues with getting levels right. Now with OpenAPS, this would be made easier for me by Autotune each night (I've adjusted mine to give it more leeway to adjust basal rates and CR following Fiasp issues). Instead, I had to estimate a percentage profile switch for a few days.
With this going on, I gave in and ran Autotune on a clean rig to try and assess what the changes really needed to be, and then I run it nightly, with a daily upload of the profile to NightScout, from where I can pull it into AndroidAPS via Profile Switch. This has proven to be the best option for me and has meant that the control system is operating efficiently. So in a way it's added to my interactions, but allowed me to do so in a non-thinking, mechanical, way, rather than having to focus concentration time on it.
Now I'm not saying that you can't use AAPS without Autotune and it's worth remembering that I am an n=1 example for whom Autotune has always worked reasonably well, but I have found that the adjustments are much easier to manage and that I need to engage with the system less with Autotune operating alongside the AndroidAPS instance than without.
Having said all this, there are plans to include Autotune within AAPS, so this is an interim gap.
AndroidAPS has a screen that shows you its last run and all the information about the decision its made. This is useful in the short term.
It also stores all the logs locally on the phone, and they're easily accessible for looking back and checking if you're not sure why something was done. The format is almost identical to that in OpenAPS, and this process is almost as easy as reviewing NightScout pills and can be done offline, when there is no access to NightScout, in the same way that you can review OpenAPS logs on a rig.
While there are significant differences in the the form of the two systems, the underlying algorithms remain constant and therefore operate in the same way.
Bear in mind that my conclusions are n=1 and coloured with having been a long term user of a system with very little in terms of a real interface.
Setting up the system is different to OpenAPS – it's much more akin to Loop, in that you need to do less to get the system on to a phone. However, once you've got it there, you are presented with the large array of options. And that can be quite daunting.
The level of personalisation that you can do on the interface is staggering. Unlike Loop, there are a lot of options available, and a lot of things you can adjust and change that affect either function or the form of the interface. I guess this is what happens when you take something that had a file and command line structure and convert it to a graphical interface. Sometimes I'm inclined to think that there are almost too many, and I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to have options like the menu options of the Combo, where you can choose Regular, Advanced and Custom menu settings.
The other side to this is that with the vast range of options, it is possible to configure a set-up that isn't perhaps as well understood as the original implementation on OpenAPS. The different Sensitivity options are an example of this.
The result is that this flexibility is both a good and a bad thing.
The lack of an additional box is a positive. I haven't encountered any issues with the operating system on the phone shutting AAPS down (which was always a concern), so I'm confident that the development team have got the balance of this right. The other side of this is that there are also fewer devices to charge and charge lasts longer. All positives for me.
Over the time I've been using it, I've grown accustomed to using the Watch interface for pretty much everything. I think that it's also the best way to interact with the system on a day to day basis, allowing your phone to stay in your pocket. There are certain actions that require you to use the phone, but for the most part they come about when you are doing something more in-depth, and it's often easier to do this on the phone than logging on to a command line.
It's also very straightforward to dig into the logs and find information if you are looking to understand what has been going on.
I'm not a fan of not having Autotune there, given that I've been using it for the best part of two years, however, if that isn't something you've used, then I'm not sure that you'd miss it. Having said that, I personally think it's important for using the oref1 SMB functionality.
I also miss the pushover alerts, alerting to potentially needing carbs, as these are an excellent warning of a potential low.
The other question I have is whether Autosens on AndroidAPS is doing quite the same as Autosens on OpenAPS, but that requires more testing with the upcoming Medtronic driver for AAPS.
A lot of the functionality is simply "stuff I don't use in anger". Text to bolus, bolus calculator, eCarbs and profile switch do things that I personally haven't needed (other than to hack Autotune into my routine), so it seems unfair to pass a positive or negative comment on these tools.
How do AndroidAPS and OpenAPS compare?
Ultimately, they both do more or less the same thing in slightly different ways, and as a result, both are equally good choices. The question is really, "What are the most important factors for your system?", and that's what will drive your decision.

Q: Using google sign in button with react 2 This is essentially the same question as Using google sign in button with react but the accepted answer does not solve it in my case.
I have a react component:
var LoginButton = React.createClass({

onSignIn: function(googleUser) {
  console.error(" user signed in");
},

componentDidMount: function() {
  console.log('component has mounted');
    gapi.signin2.render('g-signin2', {
      'scope': 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login',
      'width': 200,
      'height': 200,
      'longtitle': true,
      'theme': 'dark',
      'onsuccess': this.onSignIn
    })
},

render: function() {
  return (

  );
}
}

But while the sign-in works successfully, the onSignIn function is never called. In fact none of the options I specify for rendering the custom signin button are present (i.e. the square shape and dark theme), so I guess it's rendering a default button because of the
's class.
I'm currently loading the library synchronously because otherwise gapi is not in scope when componentDidMount is triggered.
The other option I see would be google's recommendation of using  and wrapping my render in a function. But then either this script has to be loaded inside the component, or else I have to find a way that this function is in scope to be passed as a callback in index.html, neither of which seem like a good solution.
How can I get the custom login button to be rendered instead of the default one?

A: I've used JQuery, to load the script via the componentDidMount method...
componentDidMount: function() {
    $.getScript('https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js')
        .done(() => {
            // execute any gapi calls here...
            gapi.signin2.render('g-signin2', {
                // ... options here ...
            });
        });
},

As f13ts said, the rendered
 should have "my-signin2" as an id, as opposed to a class.

A: This hack does the trick for now...
In my index.html I trigger a custom event when the library loads:

and my react component now looks like this :
var LoginButton = React.createClass({

  onSignIn: function(googleUser) {
      console.log("user signed in"); // plus any other logic here
  },

  renderGoogleLoginButton: function() {
    console.log('rendering google signin button')
    gapi.signin2.render('my-signin2', {
      'scope': 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login',
      'width': 200,
      'height': 50,
      'longtitle': true,
      'theme': 'light',
      'onsuccess': this.onSignIn
    })
  },

  componentDidMount: function() {
    window.addEventListener('google-loaded',this.renderGoogleLoginButton);
  },

  render: function() {
    let displayText = "Sign in with Google";
    return (

    );
  }

});

note that the rendered
 has "my-signin2" as an id not a class.

Forced to endure the violent punishment of the Tribunal for murders he has no recollection of committing, Aidan is slowly rotting away in a Paris dungeon. Violet is all but an unreachable dream to him now. But unlike Aidan, Violet has not given up hope as she works tirelessly with Matthew, her guardian and protector, to prove Aidan's innocence and unravel the haunting vision that plagues her thoughts—the death of someone closest to her. Determined to set Aidan free, Violet discovers that a dangerous vampire war is brewing—and that Aidan may be at the center of it all. It's only when the war reaches the doors of Winterhaven and tragedy strikes the school that Violet has to finally accept her fate. But that could mean losing Aidan—forever. With no other option, Violet must choose between true love and fulfilling her destiny…unless she can find a way to have them both.
Seventeen-year-old Violet McKenna is back for her senior year at Winterhaven, and thrilled to be with Aidan after a long summer apart. But when a violent and disturbing vision begins to haunt her, Violet suddenly feels unsure of everything: who to trust, if she is in danger, and—worst of all—whether she and Aidan are really meant to be together.
Violet McKenna isn't a normal girl with normal teenage issues; she has more to contend with than most people could handle. Violet thought she was just crazy when she had a vivid vision of her dad's murder. Her life started falling apart when her premonition came true. She's had flashes of other events too–the problem was nobody believed her until she found a new school: Winterhaven.
At Winterhaven, Violet finally feels like she belongs. She quickly finds a close group friends and discovers that they too have psychic 'gifts'—as do all the students at Winterhaven. But as soon as she feels settled she discovers the most intriguing and alluring boy she has ever met, and things quickly go awry. As the attraction between them grows, intense visions of the boy's death start to haunt her. In her premonitions, the secret he is unwilling to share begins to reveal itself.
And to Violet's horror, she learns that their destinies are intertwined in a critical–and deadly–way.


An extra post today (day 7)…..
Thought I'd add an extra post to today. I have eaten veg today; tomato and onion salad (delicious) with lunch. some raw carrot and lightly cooked veg and a large bowl of iceburg lettuce that I am polishing off now.
It will be interesting to note what will happen in the morning as the book says that the introduction of veg can lead to a couple of pounds creeping back.
Have any of you got the new Tracy Anderson mat work DVD? Bloody hells bells!! Those simple looking arm exercises……..

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's internal lens that causes loss of vision. The lens lies behind the iris and the pupil. The lens in the human eye works much like a camera lens in that it focuses light onto the retina at the back of the eye, where an image is transmitted to the brain. The lens also adjusts the eye's focus, letting us see things clearly both up close and far away. The lens consists mostly of water and protein, and a fine balance of these two elements must exist in order to maintain clear vision. But as we age, some of the protein may clump together and start to cloud a small area of the lens. This is a cataract. Over time, the cataract may worsen and cloud more of the lens, making clear vision difficult.
If Dr. Derryberry determines the presence of a cataract, surgery may not be necessary for several years, if at all. While we will measure vision in all cataract patients, ultimately, surgery is indicated when the patient's lifestyle becomes affected due to reduced vision.
In most cases, the protein in the lens just changes from the wear and tear it takes over the years. This type of age related cataract will affect just about all of us if we live long enough. Other contributing factors such as diabetes and lifestyle behaviors such as smoking can affect the development of cataracts. Severe trauma to the eye and excessive exposure to UV light can also result in cataract formation. Long term use of certain medications such as cortical steroids can also be a factor in the development of cataracts.
The term "age-related" is a little misleading. One doesn't have to be a senior citizen to get this type of cataract. In fact, people can have age-related cataracts in their 40s and 50s, but during middle age, most cataracts are not visually significant. By the age of 70, most people begin to notice reduced vision due to cataracts.
Cataracts start out insignificantly, having little effect on vision. As a cataract becomes more dense, patients frequently describe their vision as blurry or hazy at all distances. Many experience bright and bothersome glare from the sun, headlights, or lamps, and some describe colors as appearing less bright and vivid. Eventually, reading and other normal tasks become challenging.
Although one might think he or she has a cataract, the only way to know for sure is by having an eye examination. Should Dr. Derryberry determine the presence of a cataract, then he can monitor the progression of the cataract, and advise when surgery is indicated.
A surgeon removes the clouded lens from the eye, and an artificial lens, or IOL, is then inserted behind the iris in place of the original lens. Although any surgery can potentially have complications, cataract surgery is very successful in the hands of a skilled surgeon. In fact, the procedure is one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States, with over 1.5 million cataract surgeries done each year. The surgery is done on an outpatient basis, and recovery takes anywhere from a week to a few months.
If Dr. Derryberry determines the presence of a cataract, surgery may not be necessary for several years, if at all. The doctors will measure vision in all cataract patients, but ultimately, surgery is indicated when the patient's lifestyle becomes affected due to reduced vision.


The most common dispute between landlords and tenants involve the refund of the tenant's security deposit after the tenant has moved out. As a result, California law specifies the procedures that a landlord must follow for refunding and accounting for the tenant's security deposit. If the landlord does not, the tenant may have a solid case against the landlord. Knowing what the laws are, will be key to dealing with your security deposit disputes.
Most people are unaware that the security deposit cannot be non-refundable. The landlord is allowed to use the security deposit for unpaid rent, for cleaning the unit when the tenant moves out, but only to make it as clean as it was when the tenant moved in, and for repairs that are beyond normal wear and tear. A landlord can only withhold from the deposit, those amounts that are reasonably necessary for these purposes. The security deposit cannot be used for repairing conditions that existed when the tenant moved into the property The security deposit cannot be used to clean the place if the tenant left the property as clean as it was when the tenant moved in.
The landlord must provide either refund the full amount to the tenant withing 21 days of the tenant moving out. If the Landlord doesn't, the landlord must provide an itemized list of any deductions along with a refund of the remaining amounts. The landlord also must send to the tenant receipts for any of the repairs that were done.
This area of the law can be tricky and full of potholes for the unwary landlord or tenant. Working with an experienced attorney will make this process less of a headache. Sean Gavin is an experienced Security Deposit attorney and has handled hundreds of these cases. He knows the laws and knows how to apply them to your situation.

Equality of women and men in local life
Power2Her - 08.03.2019
Europe needs more women to run for election
Despite some gains in recent elections, women remain heavily under-represented in politics - at all levels. As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's examine the evidence and identify potential avenues for future action.
The facts stand, and they are appalling. Despite some countries adopting laws to increase parity, currently, only three EU member states have a woman as head of government, and only one third of the Members of the European Parliament are women.
As for Europe's local politicians, over the last 10 years, the share of elected women has shifted from 27 to 30%. As an elected representative, I have to say it: Europe deserves better. This lack of representation cannot stand.
Women are a majority among citizens. They are a minority among elected representatives. This unacceptable fact is shown clearly in a recent study led by the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR), which provides deep and disturbing insight into the political representation of women, be it at local, regional, national or even European level.
This profoundly unequal state of affairs may have seemed clear to you before the study. But now that we have the numbers on paper, nobody can deny the facts. In particular, Europe's political parties cannot deny the reality of this inequality.
That is why, in the name of Europe's local and regional leaders and their representative associations, we have launched the #Power2Her campaign for women's political empowerment. Therefore, ahead of the EU elections in May, I am calling on political parties to run women candidates and to support them!
In many regions and cities such as Umbria, Madrid, Paris, Bucharest or Sofia, a woman in power is a reality. In fact, 8 capital cities in the EU have a woman mayor. It's high time for that reality to take shape across Europe.
Why does the representation of women matter? Because equality is a fundamental right. Because democracy matters. Because a fair distribution of power matters. And because in Europe, we believe little girls have just as much the right as little boys do to dream of becoming president, prime minister or mayor. Role models cannot only be male.
But we cannot simply rely on wishful thinking. According to the World Economic Forum's 2018 report, the most challenging gender gaps are in political and economic empowerment. At the current rate, it would take 107 and 202 years to overcome these gaps. Just like the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals say, we must take action.
History has shown that too little will change if the laws don't change. In countries where equality laws have been established, things have changed at a fast pace. Just take France, for instance.
Since 2013, the law establishes that male and female candidates appear alternately on party lists, known as the "zipper system", so that women do not all end up at the bottom of the lists.
The result is striking: as the CEMR study teaches us, in the 2008 departmental elections, only 13% of elected representatives were women. In 2018, the proportion of women rose to 50%!
But we can all act in our own way. At CEMR, similar rules apply to our main decision-making body, allowing us to reach equal representation.
As an elected representative, I believe societies are better managed when women and men work together to find solutions for their constituents. Both deserve real equal rights, as is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
For the next elections, parties will have the opportunity to either change or maintain the current political structure. Let's change the power paradigm. For democracy's sake: Europe needs more women to run for election!

The Mythical Jesus - An SBL Regional Report
I was intrigued when I heard that the Society of Biblical Literature's Pacific Coast Regional meeting was going to hold a session on Richard Carrier's book, On the Historicity of Jesus. The debate over the historicity of Jesus has a long history in New Testament scholarship, but in recent years, the idea that Jesus was a myth invented by early Christians has resurfaced with a vengeance. This recent upsurge in Mythicism - although largely confined to online communities - provides us with an opportunity to examine how scholarship and authority actually function within the academy.
In scholarly discourse, one's audience is other scholars. The goal is to persuade and convince one's colleagues. That is why academic scholars tend to frown on "popularizing" books – primarily because they appeal to a different audience and require a different tone, content, and rigor. Academic and popular books belong to two different genres and speak to two different audiences. This distinction between scholarly and popular writing is important because many Mythicists do not seem to operate within the standard conventions of academic discourse – that is, as scholars among scholars. This also explains the disconnect between Mythicist claims and the academic community's apparent disinterest in those claims, a disconnect that tends to result in hostile rhetoric between what appear to be two opposing camps.
If it seems like we are just talking past each other, it may be because we are.
Some people may favor Mythicism for its explanatory power as an historical theory. But many fans and followers of Mythicism represent communities of disbelief, a loosely-defined movement eager to defeat the demons and dragons of dogma, defy the false prophets of consensus scholarship, and proclaim the Good News of a Godless world. Yet the fact that atheistic interests are so prominent in this movement is problematic. Why? Because historical criticism neither affirms nor denies the existence of God. Since the rise of scientific history during the Enlightenment, the adoption of methodological atheism has been a virtual truism in critical scholarship. But when methodological atheism turns into ontological or evangelical atheism, it becomes ideologically biased.
With few exceptions, most Mythicists are not trained scholars, do not hold university positions, and do not publish in peer-reviewed venues. Many Mythicists attempt to turn this intellectual liability into a strength by insinuating that the field of biblical scholarship is dominated by Christian apologetics or covert Christian traditions that have systemically infected the discipline. That is what makes evaluating Mythicist claims simultaneously fascinating and frustrating – fascinating because they bring fearless insights and interpretations to bear on the field; but frustrating because they are often delivered by outspoken critics of the academic guild of biblical scholarship.
The academy has learned to accommodate ideological activism, but few scholars today would claim that their work is scientifically "objective." And in so far as Mythicists very much want Jesus to be a myth, they are biased in favor of a Mythical Jesus, and predisposed towards that very result. I myself am biased in favor of an historical Jesus. That is, I think he actually existed. This is a bias I share with the vast majority of biblical scholars, although I tend to think of it as a logical, rational conclusion. I like to think that I am open to re-interpreting the evidence in light of new research, but I am self-consciously aware that I view the question through a particular lens. While one's interests - be they historical, theological, or anti-theological - can and perhaps should be bracketed in one's scholarship, postmodern historiography regularly acknowledges authorial bias. This requires readers and reviewers to independently assess whether a particular worldview is affecting judgment and rendering questionable conclusions.
The fact that an SBL regional meeting was hosting a review and discussion of Carrier's book was intriguing. Richard Carrier is one of the few exceptions among those who doubt the existence of Jesus in that he is a Ph.D. in Ancient History. His book, published by a respected university press, marks a milestone in the history of Mythicism. It is certainly the most vigorous effort yet to challenge the so-called "Historicist" position. To be honest, I didn't expect to see much productive discussion between Carrier and his respondent, Kenneth L. Waters, Sr.. Waters, after all, is an Azusa Pacific University professor, ordained minister, and former pastor and Carrier is an avowed atheist. While I expected them to talk past each other, I was curious to see how the formal setting of an SBL meeting might influence the discussion on this controversial topic, especially since Carrier's online critiques have been noted for their polemical tone. After all, if the Mythical Jesus theory reflects a dispassionate interest in the historicity of Jesus, then it is subject to the same academic rules of engagement: review, critique - and possible rejection - in whole or in part. A scholar's arguments may not convince their colleagues, but it is this submission to the rules of engagement that makes scholarship a discipline.
Carrier was clearly aware that he was not preaching to the choir. He summarized his central thesis - that Jesus originated as a celestial myth about a crucified dying-and-rising savior god. According to Carrier, "Jesus" never existed except as an imaginary celestial being who telepathically communicated and appeared to hallucinating "disciples." The figure of "Jesus" was then historicized via a process known as "Euhemerization." Carrier assumes a formidable burden of proof in arguing against the consensus of scholarship on multiple fronts. He dismisses Josephus' references to Jesus. He reads Paul's Jesus as exclusively celestial. He denies that Jesus had a brother named James. He dismisses the Gospels as historically useless. He denies the existence of Q. He dismisses the criteria of authenticity as completely invalid. And he claims to have found evidence for a pre-Christian Jewish celestial Dying Messiah tradition. Any one of these contested claims – if established - would alone be a significant contribution to scholarship. But to combine them all at once while calling for a fundamental paradigm shift in Jesus Research and historical methodology is to court controversy and, well, rejection.
Unsurprisingly, Waters was unconvinced. He rejected Carrier's argument about James as "untenable" and insisted that Paul's reference to Jesus being "born of a woman" was a typical example of Pauline thought "habitually and typically" conflating history and allegory. Waters pointed out that there is simply no evidence of "a crucified Celestial Christ in any literature" and criticized Carrier's use of "relatively obscure texts" (like the Ascension of Isaiah and Philo) to construct his celestial Christ myth. He dismissed the idea that various "Mediterranean fables" provide compelling similarities to Jesus and pointed out that we have no evidence of any Christian or non-Christian critique of a Mythical Jesus. Carrier responded by pointing out that we don't have enough evidence to falsify this argument from silence, noted that Waters didn't provide any evidence of Jesus' historicity, and accused him of "ignoring" the scholarship on the Ascension of Isaiah and getting Philo "all wrong." According to Carrier, Waters's emphasis on the differences between Jesus and the savior gods of antiquity was simply "terrible methodology."
In the end, the audience asked questions, nothing was resolved, and we all went home. This was not an attempt for two ideologically opposed world-views and thought-systems to engage the other and negotiate common ground. No, it was two ideologically opposed world-views holding their own ground in parallel universes with "Jesus" as the central site of discursive conflict, illuminating once again, that "Jesus" is cultural capital in ideological struggles for power. But that's a post for another day.

As we compete for high-profile economic development projects that could bring great opportunities for Georgia families, we would do ourselves a great favor by avoiding divisive social issues cnbc.com/2018/02/23/atl…
Governor says changes in works on religious exemptions bill Source: Associated Press • February 22, 2016
CLICK HERE to read the full article from the Associated Press.
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's governor indicated Monday that changes are coming to a bill allowing faith-based organizations to refuse service to gay couples without repercussion.
Supporters say it's intended to prevent religious adoption agencies, schools and other organizations from losing licenses, state grants, or other government benefits for their religious beliefs about same-sex marriage.
The state's business community continued to marshal opposition to the proposal, wary of the type of economic backlash Indiana experienced following 2015 passage of a broader "religious freedom" law. At an event touting the state's booming film and television industry, Gov. Nathan Deal said his office is working with legislative leaders and declined to say whether he supports the Senate-approved version.
"It is not finalized yet," the Republican said, prompting applause from representatives of the film and television industry gathered in the Capitol.
The measure as approved by the Senate allows individuals and faith-based organizations to decline service to couples based on religious beliefs about marriage. Senate leaders added that language, originally from a separate Senate bill, to a House bill allowing religious officials to decline performing gay marriages.
Opponents warn that the changes to the bill also could extend the legal protection to businesses with faith-based mission statements.
House Speaker David Ralston, the chamber's top Republican, confirmed Deal's office is working with General Assembly leaders and said lawmakers shouldn't ignore concerns from top Georgia companies or "the consequences other states have experienced."
"I think that should counsel us to move deliberately and carefully and thoroughly on this issue," he said. "It's a very emotional issue; it's an issue that's going to have consequences."
Supporters of the Senate changes, including Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, said it was intended to protect faith-based organizations that provide social services from going out of business because of their opposition to gay marriage. They also noted that the bill protects any view of legal marriage, including same-sex unions effectively legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision.
In a statement this weekend, executive director of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board J. Robert White asked House members to accept the Senate's version.
"All Georgia citizens, organizations and businesses need protection from adverse legislation that would infringe upon their religious beliefs regarding marriage, defined in the Bible as the union of one man and one woman," White said. "It is wrong to accuse persons of discrimination who live and conduct their businesses according to their deeply held religious beliefs."
The bill, approved Friday by the Senate and sent back to the House, has roiled the state's business community and prompted a pushback this weekend.
Business leaders warned in opinion pieces submitted to newspapers and other publications that the proposal could cause an economic backlash comparable to what Indiana experienced after passage of a broader "religious freedom" law in 2015 and jeopardize efforts to bring major events, including the Super Bowl, to Georgia.
More than 300 companies have signed onto Georgia Prospers, a coalition announced earlier this year to oppose any legislation that could damage the state's brand. Members include top employers AT&T, Coca Cola, Delta Air Lines, Home Depot and UPS.
"We are standing up for the principles of inclusion and fair treatment for every Georgia citizen and every visitor to Georgia," Joe Folz, vice president of Porsche Cars North America said Monday. "Legislation that promotes – or even appears to allow – discrimination against certain classes of people hurts Georgia's hard-earned reputation."
Brian Tolleson, founder of entertainment firm Bark Bark with around 20 employees at its Georgia branch, said that damage could include the film and television industry drawn to the state in recent years by an aggressive tax credit.
"We're building a world-class infrastructure and the most sophisticated facilities," Tolleson said. "It would be a real shame to see that demolished because of a bill intended to do one thing that actually did another."

My first homemade soda was a complete failure. And by failure I mean that it is completely and totally undrinkable.
I tried making soda with one of my friends, and we decided to try to make soda using yeast to produce a lightly fermented soda that certainly won't even give you a buzz, but will be nice and fizzy.
After days of anticipation and patiently waiting while the soda fermented we opened it to try it out. The first thing that Jason said was that it smelled like a fart, and, truth be told, it did.
So, we failed at making sweet delicious soda, but luckily we did figure out a good fart soda recipe for future use.
Our flatulent culprit was the yeast that we used. I'd read that champagne, or something similar is the proper yeast to use. However, not having any of that around I compromised and used the bread yeast that I had laying around. I had heard that it might add a bready taste to your soda.
In short, terrible. Saying that it might have a bready flavor was an understatement, and it smelled terrible. Don't try to make homemade soda using bread yeast. It's not worth it.
Although the soda smelled terrible, and tasted terrible. The "soda" did have great carbonation, and was very fizzy. At the very least I now know that making soda is fairly easy, and should work well once I decide to actually follow the directions.
I will certainly be trying to make homemade soda again when I get the right yeast.
This should teach me to follow the directions, but that's just one lesson I might never fully learn.

Thomas Tallis (c. 1505 – 23 November 1585) was an English composer. Tallis flourished as a church musician in 16th century England. He occupies a primary place in anthologies of English church music, and is considered among the best of England's early composers. He is honoured for his original voice in English musicianship.
Little is known about Tallis's early life, but there seems to be agreement that he was born in the early 16th century, toward the close of the reign of Henry VII. His first known appointment to a musical position was as organist of Dover Priory in 1530-31, a Benedictine priory at Dover (now Dover College ) in 1532. His career took him to London, then (probably in the autumn of 1538) to the Augustinian abbey of Holy Cross at Waltham until the abbey was dissolved in 1540; then he went to Canterbury Cathedral , and finally to Court as Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1543, composing and performing for Henry VIII during which he wrote music for the Church of England (Holman 201), Edward VI (1547-1553), Queen Mary (1553-1558), and Queen Elizabeth I (1558 until he died in 1585) (Thomas 136). Throughout his service to successive monarchs as organist and composer, Tallis avoided the religious controversies that raged around him, though, like William Byrd, he stayed an "unreformed Roman Catholic."
Tallis married around 1552; his wife, Joan, outlived him by four years. They apparently had no children. Late in his life he lived in Greenwich , likely close to the royal palace: a local tradition holds that he lived on Stockwell Street.
List of compositions by Thomas Tallis
The earliest surviving works by Tallis, Salve intemerata virgo, Ave rosa sine spinis and Ave Dei patris filia are devotional antiphons to the Virgin Mary, which were used outside the liturgy and were cultivated in England until the fall of Cardinal Wolsey. Henry VIII's break with Roman Catholicism in 1534 and the rise of Thomas Cranmer noticeably influenced the style of music written. Texts became largely confined to the liturgy. The writing of Tallis and his contemporaries became less florid. Tallis's Mass for four voices is marked with tendencies toward a syllabic and chordal style and a diminished use of melisma. Tallis provides a rhythmic variety and differentiation of moods depending on the meaning of his texts (Manderson 86). Tallis helped found a relationship that was specific to the combining of words and music (Phillips 11).
The reformed Anglican liturgy was inaugurated during the short reign of Edward VI (1547-1553), and Tallis was one of the first church musicians to write anthems set to English words, although Latin continued to be used. The Catholic Mary Tudor set about undoing the religious reforms of the preceding decades. Following the accession of the Catholic Mary in 1553, the Roman Rite was restored and compositional style reverted to the elaborate writing prevalent early in the century. Two of Tallis's major works, Gaude gloriosa Dei Mater and the Christmas Mass Puer natus est nobis are believed to be from this period. Only Puer natus est nobis can be accurately dated in 1554. As was the prevailing practice, these pieces were intended to exalt the image of the Queen as well as to praise the Mother of God.
Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister in 1558, and the Act of Settlement in the following year abolished the Roman Liturgy and firmly established the Book of Common Prayer. Composers at court resumed writing English anthems, although the practice of setting Latin texts continued, growing more peripheral over time.
The mood of the country in the beginning of Elizabeth's reign leant toward the puritan, which discouraged the liturgical polyphony. Tallis wrote nine psalm chant tunes for four voices for Archbishop Parker's Psalter, published in 1567. One of the nine tunes, the "Third Mode Melody", inspired the composition of Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1910 (Steinberg 291). Tallis's better-known works from the Elizabethan years include his settings of the Lamentations (of Jeremiah the Prophet) (Thomas 136) for the Holy Week services and the unique motet Spem in alium written for eight five-voice choirs (Barber 34). It is thought that this 40-voice piece was part of a celebration of the Queen's 40th birthday in 1573. Tallis is mostly remembered for his role in composing office hymns and this motet, Spem in alium (Cohn-Sherbok 285).
Later works
Toward the end of his life, Tallis resisted the musical development seen in his younger contemporaries such as William Byrd, who embraced compositional complexity and adopted texts built by combining disparate biblical extracts (Lord 69). Tallis' experiments during this time period were considered rather unusual (Phillips 11). Tallis was content to draw his texts from the Liturgy (Farrell 125) and wrote for the worship services in the Chapel Royal (Farrell 125). In 1543, he probably began to serve full time as a member of the Chapel Royal. The Chapel Royal later became a Protestant establishment (Farrell 125). Tallis has been variously claimed to be a Protestant, Catholic, and a religious Pragmatist. Mary granted him a lease on a manor in Kent that provided a comfortable annual income (Holman 24). Elizabeth granted to Tallis and Byrd a twenty-one year monopoly in 1575 for polyphonic music (Holman 1) and a patent to print and publish music, which was one of the first arrangements of that type in the country (Thomas 137). Tallis' monopoly covered 'set songe or songes in parts, and he was able to compose in English, Latin, French, Italian, or other tongues as long as they served for music in the Church or chamber (Holman 1). Tallis had exclusive rights to print any music, in any language (Barber 25). He and William Byrd were the only ones allowed to use the paper that was used in printing music ( Barber 25). Tallis and Byrd used their monopoly to produce Cantiones quae ab argumento sacrae vocantur but the piece did not sell well and they appealed to Queen Elizabeth for her support (Holman 1). Tallis and Byrd could work for two opposing religions as long as they did not bring their beliefs into their jobs (Lord 135). He retained respect during a succession of opposing religious movements and deflected the violence that claimed Catholics and Protestants alike (Gatens 181). Tallis endured a difficult period during the time of the church and his music often displays characteristics of the turmoil (Gatens 181).
Thomas Tallis died peacefully in his house in Greenwich in November 1585 on either the 20th or 23rd. He was buried in the chancel of the parish of St Alfege's Church . A couplet from his epitaph reads:
As he did live, so also did he die,In mild and quiet Sort (O! happy Man).
Byrd wrote the musical elegy Ye Sacred Muses on Tallis's death.

Q: Parse string to identify kwargs and args I am new to python and looking for a elegant way to do the below job.
I have a string say:
s = u'(鞋子="AAA", last = "BBB", abcd)'

I am thinking of a function which can parse the above string and give output in the following format.
arg, kwarg = foo(s)

def foo():
    # the implementation I dont know.

How shall I perform this in python?

A: A nice way to parse a string that follows some grammar rules is the 3rd party pyparsing library.  This is very generic lacking a formal grammar definition of allowed user input:
#coding:utf8
from pyparsing import *

# Names for symbols
_lparen = Suppress('(')
_rparen = Suppress(')')
_quote = Suppress('"')
_eq = Suppress('=')

# Parsing grammar definition
data = (_lparen +                        # left parenthesis
        delimitedList(                   # Zero or more comma-separated items
            Group(                       #   Group the contained unsuppressed tokens in a list
                Regex(u'[^=,)\s]+') +    #     Grab everything up to an equal, comma, endparen or whitespace as a token
                Optional(                #     Optionally...
                    _eq +                #       match an =
                    _quote +             #       a quote
                    Regex(u'[^"]*') +    #       Grab everything up to another quote as a token
                    _quote)              #       a quote
                )                        #   EndGroup - will have one or two items.
            ) +                          # EndList
        _rparen)                         # right parenthesis

def process(s):
    items = data.parseString(s).asList()
    args = [i[0] for i in items if len(i) == 1]
    kwargs = {i[0]:i[1] for i in items if len(i) == 2}
    return args,kwargs

s = u'(鞋子="AAA", last = "BBB", abcd)'
args,kwargs = process(s)
for a in args:
    print a
for k,v in kwargs.items():
    print k,v

Output:
abcd
鞋子 AAA
last BBB

A: def foo(s):
    data={"kwargs":[],"args":[]}
    for item in s:
      if "=" in item: data['kwargs'].append(item)
      else: data['args'].append(item)
    return data

s = u'(鞋子="AAA", last = "BBB", abcd)'
s = s[1:-1] # get rid of the parenthesis
print foo(s)

A substitute window frame assembly may have been found for Ariels, Tritons and other early Pearsons with large fixed windows. The frames are available from Mark Plastics of Corona, California. Mark's frames are made from an off white vinyl plastic and come with either clear or smoked acrylic panes already mounted. The window kits also include all mounting hardware.
Marc Daniels (#111) in Cataumet, Massachusetts, wrote that he had replaced his large windows with GO Marine Windows about ten years ago. He said that they were holding up very well and still looked good. More importantly, he said that they were inexpensive compared to the metal frames from Rostand RI. With such a positive recommendation, your Association contacted Mark Heacox, the owner of Mark Plastics and maker of GO Marine Windows. And, with the assistance of Jim Pinterich (#143) in Santa Clara, California, we arranged to have Mark produce a window frame assembly for evaluation.
The window assembly arrived in about ten days. On the following Sunday, the Ariel Association Fixed Window Assembly Review Committee met to evaluate the new window frame. It was agreed by all that the GO windows were well made and should be found acceptable by most owners. The exterior flange of the frame is thinner and much flatter than that of the original metal frame. It appears very similar to the window frames found in Ericson and Cal boats.
The windows were still out of my boat, so the committee used it to check the fit of the GO windows. As had been predicted by Mark Heacox, the large compound curve cut in the cabin would have to be ground out about fivesixteenths (5/16) of an inch for the frame to fit in the hole.
Jim Pinterich was sufficiently impressed that he took the new window and has ordered three more. In our next edition of the newsletter, we will have a report from Jim on his experience installing the windows along with his evaluation of them. Stay tuned.

Binghamton Police responded to 268 Oak Street in the City just after midnight for a report of a man with a gun.
Police say the caller was reporting an armed home invasion by several adults which was in progress.
Numerous Binghamton Police Patrols responded to the location, as did a Broome County Sheriff's Office – Patrol Sergeant (J. Cower) whom was in the immediate area of the incident location at the time the call was dispatched. The Sheriff Sergeant arrived to the scene first and he observed fleeing suspects at which time he initiated a foot chase pursuit through backyards of several fleeing suspects, believed to be armed with firearms.
Several suspects were located and detained by Binghamton Police and Sergeant Cower on Markey Court and taken into police custody. The investigation determined the incident was a continuation of an ongoing dispute between members of the house and those making armed entry. Firearms were recovered during the preliminary investigation of the matter.
No shots were fired and no injuries were sustained by suspects or responding law enforcement officers. The criminal investigation of the incident is ongoing and being conducted by the Binghamton Police Detective Division.
All are residents of 54 Mary Street, City of Binghamton.


The Law of Physics States it's easier to get up at 6:00 AM to play golf than at 10:00 to mow the yard.
A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are. That's why I get so many calls to play with friends.
It takes longer to learn good golf than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs, and fart if you are performing brain surgery.
Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started."
