GINA BIRCH – " Wish I Was You "
It's wild to think that Gina Birch of The Raincoats is only just now releasing her first solo album at age 67. If this song is any indication, she's been saving up a lot of good stuff over the last 40 years. "I Wish I Was You" has a distinct '90s alt-rock energy that is amplified by Thurston Moore's guitarwork. Birch brings her own unique style and voice, of course, and producer Youth help her make it soar with an irresistible chorus.
London-based Gina Birch began her storied career in music in 1977 when she formed the feminist punk band The Raincoats with fellow Hornsey School of Art student, Ana da Silva. Gina and Ana witnessed an early performance by The Slits and although neither of them knew how to play any instruments, they knew they had to start a band. Just months after they picked up their instruments they were on stage doing their thing around London and the UK in the fledgling and groundbreaking punk rock scene. The Raincoats quickly developed a large and loyal group of fans and supporters, among them Red Krayola, Swell Maps and Geoff Travis and his new record label, Rough Trade. The Raincoats went on to record 3 albums for Rough Trade that are frequently found on lists of the most important records of the punk rock era and are still name checked as influences by artists today.
Originally, The Raincoats broke up in 1984 but were talked into reforming in 1994 when Kurt Cobain asked them to go on tour in support of Nirvana (sadly, that never happened). With a renewed interest in the band led by Kurt and Kim Gordon, The Raincoats records were reissued with liner notes by Kurt and Kim themselves. Worldwide tours and a brand new 4th album on DGC resulted in 1996. The Raincoats still perform today for special events and have started their own record label, We Three Records, to handle their back catalogue.
Gina is a respected painter, a celebrated filmmaker and video director (directing videos for The Libertines and New Order to name a few) and is a mother of 2 wonderful daughters. She has formed and fronted the band Dorothy and The Hangovers.
In September of 2021, Gina released her first ever solo single, "Feminist Song", on Third Man Records in celebration of the opening of their brand new London location. In February of 2023, Third Man Records will release Gina's brand new and first ever solo full length album, "I Play My Bass Loud", recorded by Martin "Youth" Glover from Killing Joke and featuring Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth.
Taken from Gina Birch's album 'I Play My Bass Loud' (out 24th February 2023 on Third Man Records).

Q: Why doesn't custom SwiftUI view react to state changes I've had this issue with many different custom views in SwiftUI, so why does code such as
struct HeaderText: View {
    @State var text: String
    @State var color: Color

    var body: some View {
        Text(text)
            .font(.custom("Gilroy-SemiBold", size: 20))
            .foregroundColor(color)
    }
}

not update automatically when text or color changes.  For instance, if I had a view such as
struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text = "Hello"

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            HeaderText(text: self.text, color: .black)
            Button("Change Text") {
                self.text = "Goodbye"
            }
        }
    }
}

I would have expected for the view to update with the new text, but it doesn't.  I know you can accomplish this with @Binding, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution, similar to how Text works.  I'm just using these views and structs as an example, so I'm aware these may not be best practices in general.
Thank you for the help!

A: SwiftUI is a functional programming thing. Structs are value type( not reference type). Structs are normally immutable.
You can simply have lets in your sub view struct.
Why - SwiftUI re-create your views when @State changes instead of modifying it. This is done by calling the body again.
    struct HeaderText: View {
        let  text: String //<= here
        let  color: Color //<- here

        var body: some View {
            Text(text)
                .font(.custom("Gilroy-SemiBold", size: 20))
                .foregroundColor(color)
        }
    }

Why does not the code which is in the question work ,
It is because those state variables initialise with the given value (inside parent view ) as well as non of changes done to @state which is inside child view (HeaderText) Because @State can be change inside within the view itself.

He was deemed cancer-free last month.
Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly discussed his ongoing recovery from oral cancer with Messenger Post's news partner, News10NBC's Buffalo affiliate WGRZ.
Kelly is currently recovering from surgery that removed cancer from his upper jaw and lymph nodes back in March. He was deemed cancer-free last month.
"I have learned that so many years ago, not only through the Super Bowls, but through what my son and what he went through and really seeing other people and what they go through," Kelly said. "I don't have it as bad as so many people out there."
Kelly said there are several more procedures ahead to reconstruct his jaw, but he remains optimistic.
"The one person that I want to see smile is myself in the mirror, knowing that I've beaten so many odds, but now I can help others."
He also talked about home much he appreciates the continued support he gets from the community.
"Well it's because of the letters I receive every week, the cards, the well-wishers, the big billboards that people send to me and I've already got a bunch stashed away... How that makes you feel. It of course just puts a smile on my face. I know what it's done to my life. I'm never going to give up... I'm a Buffalo Bill...Buffalo Bills never give up... people from Buffalo never give up."

2011 Church Membership: Southern Baptists Decline; Jehovah Witnesses Increase
CP Current Page: Church & Ministries | Tuesday, February 15, 2011
By Katherine T. Phan, Christian Post Reporter | Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Church membership for more than a third of the nation's largest churches took a hit last year while non-Orthodox Christian churches are on the rise, a new report on denominations finds.
The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's second largest denomination, reported a .42 percent decline in membership to 16,160,088 members, according to National Council of Churches' 2011 Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches, released Monday.
Still dominating the list of the nation's top 25 mainline churches is the Catholic Church, which posted a .57 growth at 68.5 million members.
But a few church bodies, regarded as cults by some Christians, continue to increase in size.
Ranked 20th in size, the Jehovah's Witnesses denomination reported a 4.37 percent gain in membership, with 1,162,686 members total. Seventh-Day Adventist Church, which didn't make the Top 25 list for at least the past two years, squeezed in the list this year in the 24th spot. The denomination – which observes the Sabbath on Saturdays instead of Sundays – now has 1,043,606 members, up 4.31 percent.
Also, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – also known as the Mormon Church – grew 1.42 percent to 6,058,907 members. Mormons are about 1.7 million members behind the 3rd largest denomination in the U.S. and Canada, the United Methodist Church, down 1.01 percent.
Overall, total church membership declined by 1.05 percent over 2010 to 145,838,339 members.
"The direction of membership (growth or decline) remains very stable," said the Yearbook's editor, the Rev. Dr. Eileen Lindner.
"That is, churches which have been increasing in membership in recent years continue to grow and likewise, those churches which have been declining in recent years continue to decline."
Churches that grew since the 2010 Yearbook included two Pentecostal denominations, the Assemblies of God, up .52 percent to 2,914,669 members, and Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn.), up .38 percent to 1,076,254 members.
"Strong figures from the Assemblies of God and the Church of God (Cleveland, Tenn.) suggest an increase in the number of adherents to Pentecostal groups, though it is impossible to state unequivocally from this table since the other two charismatic churches in the ranking have not reported in some years," remarked Lindner.
Denominations counting the biggest losses in membership included United Church of Christ, down 2.83 percent to 1,080,199 members; the Presbyterian Church (USA), down 2.61 percent to 2,770,730 members; and the Episcopal Church, down 2.48 percent to 2,006,343 members.
Oddly, the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc., which has 1,010,000 members, reported a 59.60 percent decline in membership due in part to a new methodology of counting members.
Despite the declines, statistics in the report reflect "continued high overall church participation."
The 79th annual edition of the Yearbook reported on 227 national church bodies, representing over 163 million Americans. Figures in the 2011 edition represents about a two-year lag since membership figures are collected by the mainline churches in 2009 and submitted to the Yearbook in 2010.
Ten of the 25 largest churches, however, did not provide updated membership figures for this year's edition.
The largest 25 Churches (ranked by membership):
1. The Catholic Church, 68,503,456 members, up .57 percent.
2. Southern Baptist Convention, 16,160,088 members, down.42 percent.
3. The United Methodist Church, 7,774,931 members, down1.01 percent.
4. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 6,058,907 members, up 1.42 percent.
5. The Church of God in Christ, 5,499,875 members, no membership updates reported.
6. National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc, 5,000,000 members, no membership updates reported.
7. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, 4,542,868 members, down1.96 percent.
8. National Baptist Convention of America, Inc., 3,500,000 members, no membership updates reported.
9. Assemblies of God, 2,914,669 members, up .52 percent.
10. Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), 2,770,730 members, down 2.61 percent.
11. African Methodist Episcopal Church, 2,500,000 members, no membership updates reported.
12. National Missionary Baptist Convention of America, 2,500,000 members, no membership updates reported.
13. The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS), 2,312,111 members, down 1.08 percent.
14. The Episcopal Church, 2,006,343 members, down 2.48 percent.
15. Churches of Christ, 1,639,495 members, no membership updates reported.
16. Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, 1,500,000 members, no membership updates reported.
17. Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc., 1,500,000 members, no membership updates reported.
18. The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, 1,400,000 members, no membership updates reported.
19. American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A., 1,310,505 members, down 1.55 percent.
20. Jehovah's Witnesses, 1,162,686 members, up 4.37 percent.
21. United Church of Christ, 1,080,199 members, down 2.83 percent.
22. Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), 1,076,254 members, up .38 percent.

Q&A With Pop Up Africa Founder Jessica Laditan
27th October 2017 31st October 2017
Global interest in all things Africa continues to grow thanks in part to dedicated exhibitions and events that help to introduce the continent's diverse offerings to new audiences. In the UK Pop Up Africa is one such series of events, usually comprising a mix of vibrant market and delectable food stalls, and where we had the opportunity to showcase Shoko Press books at one of their events over the summer. Events like these take a lot of behind the scenes planning, hard work, and passion. And to find out more we caught up with Pop Up Africa founder Jessica Laditan to get an insider view.
1. Please introduce yourself, your background, where you are based and tell us a bit about Pop Up Africa?
I'm Jessica Laditan, mother of 2 and the Founder & Creative Director of Pop Up Africa. I studied Marketing at University and prior to forming Pop Up Africa, worked in Fashion PR before moving into Project Management, managing and coordinating a range of youth initiatives for various youth organisations in partnership with media companies such as Channel 4, BBC, Timeout, and ITV.
I'm passionate about development in Africa and the growth of its creative scene, retail and food industries.
Pop Up Africa is a UK based Africa focused pop up events company. We curate and run creative projects and retail events across iconic spaces in the UK and Sub- Saharan Africa. Pop Up Africa wants to see more African brands in the mainstream market, empower African creatives and entrepreneurs as well as encourage cross broader partnerships. Pop Up Africa events and services vary from trade events to creative cultural festivals, panel discussions, networking seminars and training.
Pop Up Africa was formed out of my desire to make African brands more available on the international market. Since it's launch in 2013 Pop Up Africa has seen stall holders take their brand from pop up stalls to the shelves of well-known stores, including Tesco and Selfridges.
In 2016 I was a judge for the 'Next Big Star in African Food' a competition put together by Red Magazine and Harper Collins Publishers. Other Pop Up Africa press features include BBC Africa, Time Out magazine, The Evening Standard Online and Arik Air's in-flight magazine, Wings.
We have worked in partnership with brands such as Facebook, The British Council, The Southbank Centre and Spitalfields E1 to put on events to showcase the best in African arts, products, and food to the international market.
2. What prompted the idea of starting Pop Up Africa, how has it developed over the years, and what has been the impact on the London/UK cultural scene?
I was inspired by a trip back home to Nigeria, where I went to a retail event for local makers who didn't quite have enough money to rent or buy their own shop and whose products didn't quite fit with the traditional markets but still needed a physical platform to sell their goods. This gave me the idea of creating something similar for African makers in the UK and as soon as I had the idea, I decided to run with it. I had just returned to work from maternity leave with my son and although the idea started out of a passion and general interest I loved the thought of creating something that could grow and eventually enable me to run a business from home full-time so that motivated me.
Over the years the business has grown from not only hosting events in the UK but also hosting events across Africa too, connecting diaspora creatives and business owners to those back home. Since starting we have definitely seen a growth in the number of vendors, particularly African food vendors and a general boost in the whole 'Afro-Brit' movement, the fusion of cultures influencing products, food, design, fashion, music and so forth.
"The African community itself is fueling the growth in interest in all things Africa. We are proud of our heritage and social media platforms have enabled us to showcase the beauty of Africa for ourselves." – Jessica Laditan, Pop Up Africa founder
3. What do you think is fuelling the growing interest in all things Africa, and why are initiatives such as Pop Up Africa growing in popularity?
I would say that the African community itself is fueling the growth in interest in all things Africa. We are proud of our heritage and social media platforms have enabled us to showcase the beauty of Africa for ourselves. The growth in interest for all things Africa has meant that the demand for initiatives such as Pop Up Africa has grown. Outside of the online space, we as an African community need physical platforms to be able to showcase our arts, products, and food.
4. Running events certainly takes a lot of time and energy, what have you found to be the most rewarding and the most challenging parts of your work?
I love what I do so much and feel blessed to be able to do it but yes it does take up a lot of time and energy! The most rewarding part of what I do is when I see a genuine growth in the brands that I have worked with from being on one of our stalls to being on the shelves of major supermarkets or showcasing to wider audiences.
My proudest business moment to date was being invited by Facebook to plan and co-host an event for makers and digital influencers in Dakar, Senegal, which was a platform for the likes of Facebook's Chris Cox to understand their users in West Africa and how they use social media to promote their business and African culture to a wider audience.
The most challenging part is when on the odd occasion the footfall is not as busy as you would have liked it to be, as I always set out to give our traders as big an audience as possible for their brand to get wide reach and big level of exposure.
5. What do you look for in the retailers/creatives you select to participate at your events and why?
I look for variety. I like to give very new business' the opportunity to test the market and at the same time it's nice for them to be amongst others who are further down the line in their business journey so that the newer business' can network and learn from them.
I don't like to have too much of the same products or creative skills represented at one event, I'm always excited when I discover something new. This year we had a food stall selling Malagasy food and I was thrilled as I'd never had Malagasy food before. Africa is so vast so it's important to show that through our events.
6. What advice do you have for those; especially entrepreneurs and start-up brands, who are thinking about taking part in an event like Pop Up Africa but not sure how to prepare, what are the common mistakes to avoid?
You can never be over prepared so if there's anything that you're unsure of please ask the organisers ahead of the event. I know that this sounds basic but seriously I have traders ask me questions as they arrive on the morning of the event that have either already been answered in emails ahead of the event and not been read or really should have been asked ahead of the event.
Also, being at these events is not always about the sales that you make on the day but also about the exposure. My pet hate is when traders don't come fully loaded with information on how people can get in touch or find them after the event.
Another thing to remember is that first impressions and presentation count, I'd advise brands to think about what impression they want people to have of their brand and how they want this to be reflected in their stall presentation on the day.
We thank Jessica for taking the time to chat with us and for further information about Pop Up Africa and future events visit: www.popupafrica.com and you can connect on Social Media Facebook, Instagram @popupafrica, Twitter @popup_africa

With merit-based teacher salaries and allowing a year-round schedule leading the way, one Missouri Senator hopes to reform the state's public education system.
n Merit-based teacher salaries. In St. Louis, teachers are given the option to receive performance-based salary stipends, rather than the traditional salary schedule which pays teachers based on experience and years of education. Under the bill, all public school teachers would be eligible for such a program.
n Allowing for a year-round schedule. Currently, the school schedule is based on what Bartle refers to as "an outdated model" from an era when students were needed to help with the harvest. If approved, school districts would have the option to adopt a year-round educational approach.
Districts would have to meet for the minimum number of school days currently required, but would be allowed to divide the traditional three-month summer break into a series of shorter breaks – none lasting for more than four weeks.
n Implementing multiple kindergarten start dates. Right now, children can start kindergarten and because of their birth date, be almost one year younger than other students in their class.
Bartle said he believes that this "unfairly penalizes younger, less mature children" who are being grouped with those who are older.
SB815 stipulates that a parent could choose between one of two start dates for their kindergartner – one in the fall and one in the winter.


Keep your golf swing safe!
Golfers endure a lot of spinal injuries. This is a common occurrence because many lack the required fitness levels, optimal flexibility or maximum strength required to be really good at this game — and not suffer injury.
Did you know that a golf swing can be measured at 160 km per hour? As a result of this swing intensity, an overload of stress is placed on the muscles, bones and joints of the body.
The smart golfer knows adherence to certain principles will help to not only improve their game but help them avoid injury.
Strength training: Strength training should be performed as a regular routine. The muscles of the body act as shock absorbers, so it's important that they remain toned to prevent sprain or strain injury. The most important muscle groups in this case are the core, chest and back muscles.
Warm up and cool down: A brisk walk, simple range-of-motion stretching exercises or a gentle jog will help to increase your heart rate and will automatically start to loosen your joints. This should take place before and after your game for about 20 minutes.
Hydration: When you're dehydrated, you're at risk for injury. Water is the most important fluid, and beer or other alcoholic beverages are not good substitutes! Once you realize that you're experiencing thirst, you're already far down the path of dehydration, so drink a lot of water.
Use a wheeled golf cart: Make sure also to push your cart and not pull it. If you have to carry your golf bag, try to use both shoulders, or at least alternate shoulders every 20 minutes.
Invest in good golf shoes: Take care of your feet by purchasing good footwear, and always buy golf shoes with short cleats. While standing, always alternate your weight from one foot to another, and if you need to put your foot up on your golf bag, go ahead.
Customize your style: Always use the techniques that are right for your physical capacity and limitations. Adapt your swing with the help of a pro, based upon your age and your flexibility levels. Consider shortening your backswing if it helps to reduce the extra twisting that aggravates the shoulders and neck.
Most professional athletes, as well as weekend warriors, also use chiropractic care as a preventative measure in avoiding injury, as well as ensuring speedy recovery when one does occur. Chiropractic keeps your spinal biomechanics in top playing condition; don't play without it!
I believe backache is the most common injury when it comes to golf! My dad suffers it now and thanks God that he 's getting better and ready to come back to the green grass!

Can innovation drive HIV responses to meet 90:90:90 targets by 2020?
Bobby Ramakant, CNS Special Correspondent
Joint United Nations programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) is mobilizing governments and other partners to achieve new set of targets, referred to as, 90:90:90 by 2020, but with current set of tools, approaches, funding commitments, and challenge that HIV poses to the world, the goal seems certainly a bold and ambitious one. Without innovation, at current pace of HIV responses on the ground, we are very likely to fail meeting the targets. We not only need to accelerate the search for better and effective technologies to help fight AIDS effectively but also need to improvise and innovate in rolling out evidence-based approaches.
Innovation can surely help provide more value for every dollar of investment. But then the dollars must be there to help innovation maximise the returns. Hence, besides innovative ways to do HIV programming more effectively we also need to increase HIV financing. The resources fro the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund) and PEPFAR, among others, have almost flat-lined over the past 5 years or so. Without sufficient financial investment in HIV programming, it will be difficult to reach the new set of targets by 2020.
90:90:90 by 2020
Dr Michel Sidibe, Executive Director of UNAIDS said at 20th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2014) that 90:90:90 by 2020 targets include increasing to 90% the proportion of people living with HIV who know their diagnosis, increasing to 90% the proportion of people living with HIV (PLHIV) receiving antiretroviral treatment and increasing to 90% the proportion of people on HIV treatment who have an undetectable viral load.
Is innovation the golden key?
One of the most respected organizations that has demonstrated its commitment to accelerate health responses by innovation and market solutions, is UNITAID. Robert H Matiru, Portfolio Grant Manager for HIV at UNITAID said to Citizen News Service (CNS): "UNITAID is very excited by new ambitious targets of 90:90:90 and it is going to actively support realisation of all three of these targets. In case of first '90' target, of helping 90% of those who are estimated to have HIV to get diagnosed and know their status, UNITAID is looking at new innovative projects to drive the current baseline which is less than 50%."
HIV self-testing a possibility
Robert Matiru added: "Less than 50% of people estimated to have HIV know their status currently. To reach 90% by 2020, requires real innovation. UNITAID is aiming to go beyond what exists already, that is, HIV rapid test which is well priced, and exploring how can we complement it further. One new area is HIV self testing, particularly oral self testing where testing is based on oral specimen such as saliva. It is a critical area to explore, it is a new area and it is an area which UNITAID is interested in potentially backing. So we are currently looking at potential partners to provide more evidence on suitability and feasibility of these new testing in resource limited settings. Currently such tests are only being rolled out in United States and Europe. There is one supplier, OraQuick for HIV self-testing. We want to look at if UNITAID can be a driver in shaping the market for these diagnostic technologies to get many more people tested and help them to know their status."
Regarding second target of ensuring that 90% of those who get diagnosed with HIV get antiretroviral therapy (ART) by 2020, UNITAID has been active in this area for many years. Robert Matiru said to CNS: "We heard in President Bill Clinton's speech at AIDS 2014 that UNITAID has been instrumental in driving 75% of paediatric treatment for HIV in last 6-7 years, and we continue to be the leader in paediatric HIV treatment. Right now The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund) and PEPFAR have taken over the cause of providing HIV treatment to children and UNITAID is looking at new paediatric medicines that are better adapted, cheaper and better tolerated by children. We are doing important work with partners such as DNDi and generic manufacturers such as CIPLA. In future we may have an important role in making second line and third line ART treatment more affordable but right now our major focus in treatment space in on paediatrics."
Point of care viral load testing - a reality?
Regarding last target of ensuring that 90% of those who receive treatment have viral suppression (viral load is undetectable), UNITAID is responding to a critical gap in availability of viral load testing machines in many countries such as India. Robert said in this regard, "Just a year ago UNITAID began an important project in increasing access to viral load and infant testing as well as CD4 testing at the point of care. By that we mean products that can be used in district and rural health centres, that does not require skilled trainers and can be used by nurses, community volunteers etc. We have UNICEF on one hand to scale up infant and viral load testing, as well as MSF on another hand, to help generate evidence on what is the best placement of different diagnostic technologies that we have currently (right from the laboratory based diagnostic technologies to the point of care ones)."
Taufiqur Rahman, Head of Operations, UNITAID, told CNS: "We are aggressively supporting efforts to develop diagnostic tools that can reach rural and remote areas - diagnostic tools that are portable, rechargeable and can be taken to the remotest corner of the world and get the HIV testing done - because once the test is done treatment will be made available in most countries. Now 90:90:90 has been announced we are even more committed to see how can we accelerate the pace towards reaching these targets through innovative financing. We fund innovative products to come to the market, and will continue to build on that."
HIV, TB, Hepatitis C testing on one platform: a possibility?
Taufiqur Rahman added: "HIV-TB co-infection is a serious area for us to see how can we help on the diagnostic part as well as making sure that better multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) drugs are made available to the countries at an affordable price. We also support the pre-qualification programme of the drugs and diagnostics, to make sure that developing countries receive quality assured products. UNITAID is different from all other donors as we focus on market shaping activities so that products are available in the market at an affordable price, and national programmes can take it to scale. When we talk about HIV financing, it can only happen when national programmes can afford the products. We fund medicines patent pool which gets patented drugs for generic production at country level. Large number of people can access generic products and this is major investment from our side in form of medicines patent pool to support generic drug production."
Robert said: "UNITAID is supporting integrated platforms what we call polyvalent platforms for diagnosis. One UNITAID grantee is looking at a possibility of having a platform at a central laboratory which is open, which can take its components and reagents from different suppliers, so that we are not tied to any one supplier, and it makes the platform that much more flexible and adaptable for countries. Particularly for countries where one type of reagent has been designed for a HIV genotype, so this enables you to combine it to include multiple genotypes. That is the open nature of the platform. Polyvalent nature is to see if we can then add TB, hepatitis C, or other assays to the platform which are possible. They are looking at the feasibility of doing that in a number of countries in Western Africa and then generalising their findings beyond that. So here we are looking through technology to promote integration of services and testing for HIV, TB and even hepatitis C. This is a possibility where technology and tools might help programmes to come together. This is in response to the needs expressed by healthcare providers on the frontlines such as nurses or community volunteers etc who wanted this kind of a platform so that with increasing task-shifting they may not have to deal with multiple point of care machines for HIV, TB, and hepatitis C, and rather have 'multiplex' platforms. Besides such platforms at central laboratory level, UNITAID is also exploring possibility of a point of care polyvalent platform to test for HIV, TB, and hepatitis C virus. It makes economic sense to do that, will be better for programmes and for horizontalizing the work."
There is no doubt that if we continue to do business as usual, it may be difficult to reach the 90:90:90 targets set for 2020. Innovation can potentially drive the pace of HIV responses on the ground.

Q: Understanding AWS VPCs and Subnets Go easy on me as I'm new to software development, but I've been tasked with creating an application that is hosted in an s3 bucket and is authenticated using cognito. When a user signs in they should redirected to a homepage which contains the users previous login times, these times are stored in a dynamodb database.
What I do understand about vpcs is that it gives you a private piece of the aws cloud for your resources, and subnets divide that piece into public (accessible by the internet) and private subnets (not accessible by the internet).
Now whats not clear to me is which AWS resources fall under a vpc and what resources should you put under a private subnet and which should you put under a public subnet. I've attached an image of a architecural solution to my application and would like some feedback on it if possible.

A: You might want to start with a few AWS tutorials such as:

*

*Serverless Web Application with Cognito, API Gateway, S3, and Lambda

*Build a Serverless Web Application with Amplify
In your situation, there's no need to deploy into VPC. You're not currently using any private resources (such as a MySQL database) that would need to be in VPC.
S3, API Gateway, Cognito, and DynamoDB are all AWS services. They don't run in your VPC (if you had a VPC). A VPC-hosted application could create private VPC endpoints to these services (except Cognito) but that's a relatively sophisticated use case that's not needed here, given the information available in your question.

Q: SQL Query to itemized Daily Sales Per Month In my Sales Table, listed is the daily sales of particular tenant in one Property.
Using this code, I was able to list or select daily Sales of tenants, summed up based on grouping of Property.
SELECT  date , location ,  SUM(a.gsc) Sales
FROM  SalesTable
WHERE (date  BETWEEN  '01/01/2015'   AND '12/31/2015' )
      and (location  = 'Property1')
GROUP BY location ,  date
ORDER BY location, date

And the result is something like this
Date         Location     Sales
01/01/2015   Property1    10,000
01/02/2015   Property1    20,000
.
.
.
12/31/2015   Property1    15,000

What I wish to accomplish as the final output is make the result in tabular form having Days date as the first Row and Month as the columns. Please see sample output for further illustration.
Date  January              February
      Date   Day  Sales    Date    Day  Sales
1     1-Jan  Fri  10,000   1-Feb   Mon  9,000

This is what I tried
 SELECT  date , location ,  SUM(a.gsc) Sales
 INTO #TempTable1
 FROM  SalesTable
 WHERE (date  BETWEEN  '01/01/2015'   AND '12/31/2015' )
          and (location  = 'Property1')
 GROUP BY location ,  date
 ORDER BY location, date

    SELECT   months.number, tenants.locationd   ,  tenants.location
        ,(case when (t.DATE) = 1  then t.gsc end) as 'January'
        ,(case when (t.DATE) = 2 then t.gsc end)) as 'February'
        (case when year(t.DATE) = 3 then t.gsc end) as 'March'

         FROM
            (
                    SELECT Number
                    FROM master..spt_values
                    WHERE Type = 'P' and Number between 1 and 31
            ) months
            CROSS JOIN
            (       --12 Month Name will be cross joined sa selected tenant/s
                    SELECT DISTINCT  locationd ,  location
                    FROM #AMRDSR1
            ) tenants

    LEFT JOIN #AMRDSR1 t
     ON months.number = datepart(day,t.date) and tenants.location = t.location
    GROUP BY  months.number, tenants.locationd  , tenants.location , t.date, t.gsc
    ORDER BY  tenants.locationd ,  datepart(day,t.date)

I have been suggested to used pivot, but that is quite new to me and seemed to be very complicated, If there are ways to do it just using TSQL, much better.
Hoping for your expert advice.
Thank you!

Tolerizing Mice to Human Leukocytes: A Step Toward the Production of Monoclonal Antibodies Specific for Human Dendritic Cells

Despite several attempts to isolate a mAb specific for human dendritic cells, none currently exists. Recent attempts have utilized an improved dendritic cell purification method to prepare immunogens1 and a rapid two-color flow cytometric screening procedure that allows large numbers of hybridoma supernatants to be examined in each fusion2. Yet these improvements have also failed, yielding only hybridomas that bind "shared" antigens expressed by both dendritic cells and other leukocytes. Dendritic cells express many shared antigens, including CD45 [leukocyte common antigen], CD40, leukocyte [β2] integrins CD11a and CD11c, CD54 [ICAM-1], CD44 [Pgp-1], CD58 [LFA-3], and the B7/BB1 antigen. Therefore, we are attempting to bias the immune response toward rarer, dendritic cell-specific clones by tolerizing or immunosuppressing our animals to shared antigens.
In one approach, adult mice held in barrier cages are injected with "nondendritic" cells and cyclophosphamide [CP], in order to ablate responding "nonspecific" B cell clones. Fifteen days after the last dose of CP, they are challenged with nondendritic cells. A week later they are bled, and serum antibody titers against nondendritic cells are determined by FACS, in order to demonstrate tolerance compared to controls injected with CP alone.
In the second approach, neonatal mice are injected with human T lymphoblasts at birth, followed by boosting at 1 week. In adulthood, they are challenged sequentially with sheep erythrocytes [sRBC], then with T blasts, to demonstrate that they can respond to unrelated cells but not to tolerogenic cells. One week after each kind of challenge, mice are bled and serum antibody levels are determined for treated and sham-injected mice.
When these two approaches were compared, CP led only to nonspecific immunosuppression, while neonatal injections produced selective, antigen-specific nonresponsiveness to the tolerizing T blasts.

Do you really know how much information strangers can gather about you online?
However, thanks to a collaboration between NPR and ArsTechnica, you may be able to better understand just how badly your personal privacy is at risk.
Last week, ArsTechnica revealed how one of its reporters tested out a piece of professional surveillance equipment on an NPR employee to see just how much information it could find. The PwnPlug R2 was used to track all the online traffic from the reporter's phone and computer and then sent it back to ArsTechnica for analysis. In effect, ArsTechnica became the NSA and the NPR reporter became you or I – or any another internet user.
What they found was nothing short of shocking.
Using just one small piece of professional surveillance equipment, ArsTechnica were able to put together a rough snapshot of the reporter's life within 2 minutes – and all because of the apps and websites he had open on his iPhone. Even without touching his device, it was hemorrhaging information about him.
Over the next couple of days, they were able to gather a frankly shocking amount of data about the reporter and his online activity.
Low-grade or uneven encryption, the report found, was not entirely effective –even when certain websites claimed that they were encrypted.
Here at SurfEasy, we use bank-grade encryption with both our SurfEasy VPN an Private Browser products to ensure that you and your information are kept safe and secure online – even if surveillance equipment is being used against you.

PLDT adding EVs to its fleet
Telecommunications giant Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) announced this week that it will be adding electric vehicles (EVs) to its fleet.
The EVs will initially be assigned to selected service personnel handling home broadband installation and repairs within Metro Manila.
"As part of PLDT's efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we have developed a re-fleeting strategy that will pilot the use of electric vehicles. While the upfront cost of an EV may seem higher compared to vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, we considered the total cost of ownership and the benefit to the environment," said Melissa Vergel De Dios, PLDT Investor Relations Head and Head of the Sustainability Office.
PLDT is expecting to add more EVs to its fleet as technology matures and with the improvements in related infrastructure, such as EV charging stations (EVCS).
The telco giant said efforts to use EVs in its operations highlight its commitment to help the Philippines meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDGs 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 13 (Climate Action).
Relative to PLDT's efforts, the Senate approved a bill promoting the use of EVs in May, while the Department of Energy drafted its EVCS circular in March.

Home My Work
Cleanit
Cleanit was a client project in which I helped with creating the logo and landing page. The client not only wanted to express the company's purpose on the landing page but also wanted the option to immediately allow user to start using the product.
The client was very clear with his vision for the logo. He wanted something that would embody the company's purpose. Nothing abstract, he was looking for a loud and clear message.
Design Iterations
I went through several design iterations and worked shoulder to shoulder with the client-even. I even encouraging him to sketch out a few things on paper. I wouldn't normally ask that from a client but he was very enthusiastic and wanted to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty. Can't say no to that!
I wanted to keep the landing page as simple as possible. The product itself is just a cleaning service offered through text messaging. The best way I could think of to showcase a product like this was to provide an example of a conversation between a user and the service. The goal with this example was to show how easy it is to use the service.
What I learned?
At first I thought a client sketching out a logo for me was silly. But it turns out that you really get a sense for what is in their head. It doesn't necessarily have to be a work of art, because mine aren't. They are called a sketch for a reason. But even some chicken scratch can move the ball forward and give you some perspective.

Gidley's Praise For Broncos Recruit
By Tony Webeck, NRL.com
Tue 14 Nov 2017, 02:36 PM
Former Warrington skipper and Newcastle Knights legend Kurt Gidley believes Brisbane Broncos recruit Andre Savelio has the physical gifts required to make an impression in the NRL but admits the English back-rower will need time to adjust.
The son of Lokeni Savelio, who represented Western Samoa before moving to the UK where he played for the likes of Salford, Halifax and Widnes, Savelio begins his first full week as a Bronco determined to prove he has what it takes to bust into Brisbane's best 17 in 2018.
Broncos officials first tried to lure Savelio to Australia three years ago as a 19-year-old but after having to bide their time are now confident he can make an impact once he adjusts to the speed and physicality of the game in Australia.
After coming through the ranks at St Helens the now 22-year-old spent this season at Warrington where he scored nine tries in 26 appearances and topped the Wolves in tackle busts with 52, impressing Gidley with his strength in the gym and on the field.
"He's a pretty quiet fella but physically strong carrying the ball. He'll be interesting to watch over the pre-season and will be one to keep an eye on," Gidley told NRL.com.
Top day out!! 🐎👌🏼💰
A post shared by Kurt Gidley (@kurt.gidley) on Apr 29, 2017 at 7:16am PDT
"He probably hasn't got the natural aggressive size that some guys have – that's just not his nature, he's not an aggressive person – but he's physically strong and got good footwork and a strong fend.
"He's probably not someone known for hitting a hole as such but more getting the ball early and putting some footwork on and challenging blokes physically.
"It will be a work in progress I'd say. I wouldn't expect him to come straight from Super League – and I'd imagine there are a few blokes to jump in front of at the Broncos – but as far as physical strength, he's extremely strong in the gym and carrying the ball.
"He's got a big fend and is tough to put down."
A Broncos fan from a young age, Savelio has always maintained a keen interest in the goings on in the NRL, more so than any other player in the Wolves set-up, according to Gidley.
"At Warrington, he knew more about the NRL than any other player," said Gidley who will this weekend line up for the Knights one more time in the Legends of League Carnival on the Central Coast to raise money for the Mark Hughes Foundation.
"He watches more of the NRL and knows all about every player and club more than any of my teammates at Warrington did.
"He lives and breathes it and for him to get an opportunity I think he'd be proud of it, but he'd know that he has to work hard if he genuinely wants to become a first grader.
"The whole challenge of coming to the NRL and having to prove himself at the Broncos to start with will be good for him."

His parents, Ivan Moss observes early on in Unhappy-Go-Lucky, Ian Pattison's fourth novel, were typically Scottish: "my father was bipolar and my mother was a martyr." And with that bracing aperçu we're off into a funny, tender, observant story of Moss's relationship with his widowed mother Kathleen as – irascible, chain-smoking and, understandably, afraid – she faces up to the lung cancer that her lifelong addiction to cigarettes has brought about.
Moss isn't the caring type, exactly, but he surprises himself as he grows closer to his mother, seeing to her needs, ferrying her to the doctors', and taking a final opportunity to ask her for her memories.
Moss was Kathleen and Ivan senior's first-born. They lived in Govan at a time when the Fairfield's shipyard teemed with hundreds of "stunted workmen with grimy caps and brown grooves on their lower lips where their roll-ups sat". Later, the family relocated 13 miles to Renfrewshire, trading a cramped apartment for a two-bed flat in the imaginatively named Dreichstane – "a lovely picturesque wee town by the arse-end of Paisley", in the lyrical words of Ivan snr.
In time, it emerges, Moss left Glasgow for London, where he thrived, professionally and financially, in television, before returning to the city of his birth, and a top-storey apartment in a B-listed building in the west end. Which is how we find him as this entertaining novel opens.
"It started off one thing and it ended up something else," Pattison says over a green tea in Oran Mor. "I started off writing to amuse myself and I thought, 'This isn't really going anywhere, I'll put it aside.' But then what happens is, things coalesce in your mind after a while and you realise what it is actually about.
"So you start to layer it a bit. When I introduced the element of the mother's illness, that gave me an angle of entry to legitimately talk about the past, so that it had some context for the present. Otherwise, it just turns into a nostalgia-fest – which is fine, but I wanted a bit more than that.
"The other thing is, I'm at the stage of life where [my] parents are dead, friends are dying. What was it Noel Coward said to David Niven once? Niven was bemoaning the fact his friends were beginning to die off but Coward said, 'Personally, dear boy, I'm delighted if they can make it through lunch.' So there is that. Plus, everybody has got to do their mortality novel, and this is mine. Parents and friends die off, and you think, 'Well, if I don't write about this stuff now I'll probably forget it all, and it'll be gone for ever.'"
Reaching across the table for The Herald's copy of the book – the first time he has actually seen a finished copy – he reads a quote he borrowed from Harold Pinter: "There are some things one remembers even though they may never have happened." While it's foolhardy to assume a link between an author's personal life and his writings, there are certain parallels between Ivan Moss and Ian Pattison: the Govan childhood, the relocation to Renfrewshire (Johnstone, in the writer's case), the spell working in London, the return to Glasgow, the property in the west end. Except, of course, that Moss wasn't the one who devised Rab C Nesbitt.
"That's the framework," Pattison acknowledges, "and then you germinate it. It's just a wee dry pellet of experience, until you pour water on it and it grows. It's hard for anybody – I don't know, some writers will probably do it more articulately than I can muster – to disentangle fact from fiction. For a start, you don't remember accurately, so it's not fact, even if you think it's fact.
"Then you're adding a layer of fiction to, hopefully, make it entertaining, and turn it into its own world. Because it is its own world; it's the world as contained in your head. So even if you want to write straight fact, I don't think it's really possible these days to verify it; you don't always know if you're writing fact."
Unhappy-Go-Lucky details Moss's adolescence, his misadventures in school, the neighbourhood in which he grows up. One family in the book, the Huttons, is so abjectly impecunious that others defined them as "Christ, Would You Look At That" poor.
Also well-observed is the state of the Moss marriage, which with its sniping and mutual recrimination reminds you of Philip Larkin's line: "Man hands on misery to man/It deepens like a coastal shelf."
Once a year, Pattison says, he meets up with old friends ("a dwindling band of grey men") and certain old facts will emerge. "I thought we were the only family struggling with poverty, but it turns out that quite a lot of them struggled with poverty. It's just that people keep a respectable front going and it's only later in life they feel able to talk about that.
"We'll swap tales of poverty though we don't want to end up as the four Yorkshiremen, trying to outdo each other. But anybody who comes from a working-class background is aware that poverty is disfiguring, and it's not unique to you, even if it felt that way at the time."
His Govan has long gone, but certain aspects of life in a cramped room-and-kitchen have remained with him. He laughs. "The kitchen, so-called, was actually three rooms – kitchen, living room and bedroom. Theoretically, you could be cooking chips and could splash the hot fat over somebody who was lying in the bed in their pyjamas, while inconveniencing somebody else who was treating the room as a living room and was watching the TV. Nowadays, all these old bed recesses are wet-rooms."
Pattison's play about Tommy Sheridan – I, Tommy – will return to the Pavilion Theatre for a week in September ("fair play to Tommy – he's paid his dues and is out there re-inventing himself"), while a Nesbitt special will "probably" be shot in the autumn. He would also like to "try a couple more plays".
As for novels, he says, "they take so long. You've got to do other work, you've got to keep your head above water, financially, while you're writing one. I'm about the only Ian writing novels in Scotland who doesn't make a million out of it. I said to my last agent, 'Just publish the next one as an Ian Rankin - he won't notice.' He's got a whole shelf-full in Waterstones. What difference will one more make? I like doing them, though it's certainly not for the money."
The new novel will be launched at the Aye Write! book festival. "It'll probably be a Q and A, and a reading. To me, the most boring part of these events is when the guy actually reads from his book: not many writers are good readers, and it can be a dead experience. But usually it comes alive in the Q and As, so hopefully it'll be interesting and/or entertaining. And if not - " he pauses. "We'll give people their money back."
Unhappy-Go-Lucky by Ian Pattison is published by Tindal Street Press, £11.99. The author will be at the Mitchell Library at 6pm on Thursday, April 18. Tickets, £8, from 0141 353 8000 or www.ayeright.com.

Patrolman Leonard Clifford Miller
Apollo Borough Police Department
Apollo Borough Police Department, Pennsylvania
End of Watch Thursday, January 3, 1980
Leonard Clifford Miller
Patrolman Leonard Miller was shot and killed after stopping a car that had sped past him twice.
He was shot twice in the chest as he approached the vehicle. The two suspects, both 21, were apprehended. It was soon determined the two had been on what was labeled a "kill for thrill" spree for the past eight days. The bullet-riddled bodies of a 26-year-old single mother and two men, 32 and 49, had been found in different locations in and near Apollo Borough. A few days earlier, as they aimed to shoot a 35-year-old female employee in a convenience store, the attempt was foiled by two men who entered the store.
Both were convicted of four counts of murder and sentenced to death. Both had their convictions overturned in 1991 and 1996. Both were retried and again sentenced to death. Their appeals for new trials were denied in 2011 and 2012. One of the subjects died in prison on September 3, 2017. In 2021 the other was still on death row. He is Pennsylvania's longest-serving death row inmate.
Patrolman Miller's murder occurred on his third day as a full-time officer with the Apollo Police Department. He had previously served as a part-time officer for the Apollo Police Department and Vandergrift Police Departments for 2.5 years. He was survived by his parents.
He is buried in the Riverview Cemetery, Apollo, Pennsylvania.
In 2005 the Apollo Bridge was renamed the Leonard C. Miller Bridge.

Etiquette In Cottage Rental For the last 20 years, the popularity of cottage holidays have become more prominent to many people. The concept of cottage rental set in beautiful countryside to which you feel at home while you're relaxed creates a lot of appeal but there are some etiquette or rules that must be observed. And actually, some of these are subtle and more instinctive. Say for example that you have rented a cottage through an agency, there is usually a formal agreement that should be set before the transaction take place. Among these conditions is damage or security deposit which is returned often to the renter when the place has been checked. Obviously, this is used in order to protect the owner towards any major damage that might have occurred throughout the renter's stay. Owners of these holiday cottages come in all walks of life and they can be a small company or individuals. Individuals might use the cottage as their own house for some parts of the year and lease it for some other times. A few of these areas have got tourism and jobs might be their only means of income much as they could be set in idyllic countryside. Some small firms have also bought up several properties and have it developed to turn it to some of the most lovely holiday properties partnered with modern comforts. You can actually have a better insight of do's and don'ts of etiquette in cottage rental when thinking that the property you're renting is someone's joy and pride.
You need to use all the facilities that the cottage has to offer and make it feel like your second home as being a renter. There are some cottages that offer books left to be read, swimming pools to be used as well as games to play. In the event that something is not working in your cottage, tell it to the owner and ask them about the issue politely because there's a possibility that they might not even know about it.
It'll be good to treat the house much like your own and do not be reckless. The cleaner or owner will come and tidy up the property after the rental period. On the other hand, this process entails a normal amount of cleaning like washing bed linen, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom and vacuuming. This however mustn't involved any stain removal from carpet or furniture, rubbish piled high and sheets or every dish that's left dirty. Get the most of your holiday getaway in your holiday cottage rental by being respectful and polite.


Social media is prevalent. Social media is powerful. Social media is telling. And colleges have come to fully embrace these social media truths.
By inviting prospective students to follow their social media feeds, colleges are building a data driven infrastructure for recruitment, assessment, and enrollment functions.
Most schools use their websites to encourage students to connect with their social media channels.
Some colleges are even encouraging students to connect directly with their college admissions officers on social media.
Once a college links a student's name to a specific email address, they can apply pixels and other social listening tools to connect social media accounts to a student's application. Once this connection is made, colleges can measure student engagement for purposes of determining demonstrated interest. Much like college visits, the level of social media engagement a student has with a specific college is helping colleges measure a student's liklihood to enroll if accepted (for the importance of this connection see: Social Media Scrutiny and the Business of College Admissions).
Navigating to a college's website is no longer a prerequisite for social media recruitment. Schools are using social media to reach prospective students.
📱Follow us on Social Media and stay up to date with everything happening at the college!
With colleges overtly beckoning prospective students to connect with them on social media, students need to be equipped with essential knowledge on how social media works and how colleges are using collected data to make important decisions.
PSA: What 1 posts, what 1 likes, what 1 retweets is known 2 all. Keep thinking about your brand, image, values & employability. It may be funny now, but will you still be laughing a year from now? Life's tough. Don't make it tougher due 2 things you can control & chose to ignore!
We advise our students to never follow colleges on social media from their personal social media accounts. They should be instructed to build social media accounts for this purpose so they can control the digital narrative they place in front of college personnel. We often use the analogy of a college interview to make the point. A student would not go to an interview straight from the gym without first showering and changing their clothese to look and feel their best. The same logic applies to social media. Students must learn how to put their best foot forward.


Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) in Cologne, Germany, operates at a very high technical level in manufacturing with its technology partners DMG Mori Hilden, Mapal and Tebis: Machines, tools, software and processes are ideally matched, resulting in first-class components. In the "New standards in 5-axis technology with the DMC 125 U duoBlock" workshop, Tebis presented software functions that were specially developed with TMG and explained how companies can professionally optimize their processes.
For developing motorsports components and racing cars, maximum precision is an absolute must for Toyota Motorsport GmbH. To achieve the best milling results, the automotive manufacturer relies not only on the perfect interaction of machines, tools and CAD/CAM software, but also on highly advanced, automated processes. Roughly 80 participants from mechanical engineering saw this live at the workshop organized by DMG Mori Hilden on April 5 and 6 in Cologne, Germany. They were especially impressed by the TMG machinery, the highly automated multiple-pallet processing, even for different parts, and the effective process structure.
In their presentations, the three technology partners discussed different factors that affect optimal milling quality. For example, DMG Mori Hilden presented the latest advances in 5-axis milling, including highlights of the DMC 125 U duoBlock, and Mapal presented innovative tool solutions for machining cubic parts.
In his presentation, Martin Vortmann, cooperation manager at Tebis AG, emphasized the benefits of optimized process structures, benefits from which TMG is also profiting. As a process specialist, CAD/CAM expert Tebis also supports company projects such as using standardized processes to reduce throughput times, improve machine productivity and automate manufacturing. "With optimized processes, everyone can improve effectiveness and ultimately achieve their company objectives," said Vortmann. "This holds true for everyone, not just industry giants."
In the afternoon, participants had the opportunity to watch live manufacturing on two DMC 125 U duoBlock machines, including a cylinder head for a rally car. At the same time, programming with Tebis was shown at an adjacent Tebis workstation: ranging from ruled geometry processing such as planar machining of surfaces and the creation of bores, threads and gun drilling, to 3D free-form geometry processing of complex parts. Over the years, the close partnership of Tebis and TMG has resulted in new, jointly developed software functions for 5-axis milling. Several of these are now standard parts of the Tebis software packages. Both the demonstration and the workshop were well-received by participants. Because interest was already high in the run up to the event, DMG Mori Hilden plans to repeat the workshop in the near future.

Q: Why I can't receive a live555 RTSP stream into a QVideoWidget? I am trying to stream a H.264 video stream from a live555 server to a client application that displays it using QVideoWidget on Windows (Qt 5.5)
Unfortunately, the QVideoWidget does not show anything (but it does show videos that start with http:// instead of rtsp://).
If I sniff the packets I can see that the server is returned a 405 Method not allowed:

I am using live555 testH264VideoStreamer to stream the video.
If I try to use libVLC then it works. Why is it not working with QVideoWidget (which in turn uses Windows Media Foundation)?

A: It seems that Windows Media Foundation does not support many 3rd party RSTP streams which have slightly different headers and capabilities.
"The MF RTSP source has not been widely tested with third party RTSP servers." https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/4ac87f5f-b8c5-471a-a424-55c0fff04eac/using-the-media-foundation-sdk-to-parse-rtsp-streams?forum=mediafoundationdevelopment
In the context of RTSP, "Media Foundation supports the following formats: WMA, WMV, audio/L16 (LPCM), and audio/MPA (MP3). The server's response should indicate which format it is asking for." https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/e1a970aa-8bf5-46bb-a301-de271a6ae4bc/rtsp-without-proprietary-supported-header?forum=mediafoundationdevelopment
Apparently, a custom WMF media source would need to be implemented and it may have differences depending on the quirks of the RTSP device.


Home/Research/The Relation Between Abortion and Depression- What does studies show?
Before we delve into whether abortion actually causes depression or not, let us first know the very common and basic definitions of what depression and abortion actually are? It is essential to know the common and basic depression definition because of the widespread misconception that it has attained.
Depression is a mental disorder which is, fortunately, a curable disease. However, it is essential to know the reasons for one's depression in order to be fully aware of what one is going through. The symptoms of depression can vary. It can be mild or severe. It can be simply feelings of sadness or a loss of interest in the day to day activities.
This may also include the loss of appetite for gaining weight because of overeating. The feelings of worthlessness or guiltiness may increase unnecessarily. From getting difficulty in thinking to find it hard in concentrating, depression can make it extremely hard to make even the simplest of decisions. It can also make you prone to having suicidal thoughts.
One of the things about depression is that it doesn't need a reason. It can appear from no-where or there could be a reason behind your depression. However, it is essential to know that these symptoms should last at least for more than two weeks before it can be diagnosed with depression.
1) Post-partum depression, also known as after-pregnancy depression.
Abortion is done when someone doesn't want to have a child and doesn't want to continue with her pregnancy. This is when abortion is done, which is also known as "terminating one's pregnancy".
Abortion is done via two means which a patient can choose as per her requirement.
This is done by giving pills to the patients. Abortion pills are given for up to 10 weeks or up to 24 weeks.
In this kind of abortion, it is done via surgical means. As in through a quick operation of the patient. Surgical Abortion also has two types which include vacuum aspiration for 15 weeks or via dilatation and evacuation which is done in 15-24 weeks.
Does Abortion cause depression or not?
There are studies which are both pro and anti pro of depression. Some studies show that antidepressants are less likely to be taken by those who abort than those who don't abort. However, there are chances that women who had an abortion earlier could face some emotional problems. Danish Medical Research Council and Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation state that having an abortion doesn't actually result in a depression.
The studies from American Psychological Association shows that there are no threats to women's mental health if she aborts a baby.
Another research says that there are chances that women who are convinced to get aborted or in other words, if women face induced abortion, then they are likely to face depression, which may also include a number of other health problems such as anxiety, sleep problems, suicidal ideation or other such symptoms.
It is important to note, however, that the latest studies show that abortion doesn't have any connection with the depression or other psychological health problems.


In a great bit of irony, the "greening" of Oakmont Country Club really got under way when one of the greatest "ungreenings" of a golf course ever took place.
The controversial tree removal – with between 5,000 and 8,000 trees being taken – had a domino effect in the greening evolution.
For the most part, the areas that had trees have become fescue-covered, not only improving the visual appearance of the historic club, but changing the maintenance efforts in those areas as well.
Those who have played Oakmont have likely had encounters with the dreaded "ditches" that wind through the course. And while they are merely a knee-high nuisance for those who find their ball in them, the ditches play a big role in the 260-acre course's eco-system.
A year after Zimmers assumed his position at Oakmont, the irrigation system was replaced. With the old system, the club traditionally used roughly 25 million gallons of water per year (water, by the way, that they pay for).
Since 2000, when the system was changed, Oakmont has saved 31 percent in water usage annually, about 7 million gallons a year. What makes the savings even more remarkable? The course has grown by 40 or 50 acres since Zimmers' arrival.
Zimmers said he's sure people wonder why, despite a state-of-the-art irrigation system, they still see members of the grounds crew out watering with hoses.
"The ability to put water exactly where you need it is a big thing for us. Water management is crucial," he said.
Zimmers is constantly comparing 10-year periods and, like the decrease in water usage, he has seen a decrease in the amount of fertilizer and chemicals used.
Zimmers and his staff are not only concerned about what goes into the ground, but also with the equipment that works above ground. The hydraulic fluid trails that marred courses for years don't occur at Oakmont. Why? Because the hydraulic aspect of mowers, rollers and other grounds equipment no longer includes anything hydraulic.
Zimmers thinks that golf courses, which have for years been criticized for not being good stewards of the environment, will continue to be at the forefront of the "greening" effort.

Q: boolean toggle in mongoose with findOneAndUpdate I use mongoose in node js and I want to make a boolean toggle, But when I use findOneAndUpdate(As I wrote) I get "done" as false but the second time "done" is not true
finally, I want to get such logic: when I click the button, "done" should  become false if it is true and the same, when it is false it should become true

      "taskItemTitle": "exampleTitle",

}

argument "taskItemId: 63be49f56c9c394d282b155f"

tasksModel.findOneAndUpdate(
        {
          "tasksItems._id": taskItemId,
          tasksItems: {
            $elemMatch: {
              _id: taskItemId,
            },

        [{ $set: { tasksItems: { done: { $eq: [false, "$done"] } } } }],
        { new: true }
      );

A: The easiest solution might be to retrieve the task and update the taskItems independently:
const task = await tasksModel.findOne({ 'tasksItems._id': taskItemId });
if (!task) return;
for (let i = 0; i < task.tasksItems.length; i++) {
  if (task.tasksItems[i]._id !== taskItemId) continue;
  task.tasksItems[i].done = !task.tasksItems[i].done;
}
await task.save();
