Q: how to skip a CPT element from the pager by custom field I'm making a template that shows all the users of a CPT Family like this:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : ?>
        <?php the_post(); ?>
         $marriage        = get_field( 'length_of_marriage' );
         $relationship = get_field('relationship');
         $nickname = get_field('nickname');
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo get_next_post_link( '%link', '' ); ?>
<?php echo get_previous_post_link( '%link', '' ); ?>

But I need to display only those with "Retained" status when paging and only one item per page should be displayed.

I tried with the following code but the pager does not work, it shows me any family without respecting the query.
$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
$args = array (
    'post_type'      => array( 'family' ),
    'paged'          => $paged,
    'posts_per_page'         => 1,
);
 $args['meta_query'][] = array(
    array(
        'key'   => 'status',
        'value' => 'Retained',
        'compare'   => '='
    )
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
    <?php $the_query->the_post(); ?>

    <?php
        echo get_field('status');
        echo '  '.get_field('family_id');
    ?>
    <?php $profile_pic = get_field( 'profile_picture' ); ?>
    <img src="<?php echo esc_url( $profile_pic['sizes']['family_large_thumb'] ); ?>" width="300px" height="300px" style="display:block;" />
<?php endwhile;
<?php echo get_next_post_link( '%link', '' ); ?>
<?php echo get_previous_post_link( '%link', '' ); ?>
//Clean up after the query and pagination.
wp_reset_query();

in the status bar it shows the following link but without respecting the query but when pressing the pager it does nothing.

A: It looks to me like you've gone too deep with your meta_query argument. The meta query should be an array of arrays; you've got an array of arrays of arrays.
Try:
$args['meta_query'] = array(
    array(
        'key'   => 'status',
        'value' => 'Retained',
        'compare'   => '='
    )
);

Teaming Up With Apple to Study AFib
The Holy Grail of Tech: Inside CES 2020 with Tyler Rochwerg
Best Courses to Complement a STEM Curriculum
Powered by compassion, science and ingenuity, we're changing the trajectory of health for humanity every day at Johnson & Johnson. And while we're leveraging the latest and most sophisticated technologies in the world, we also know that it will take more than technology alone to tackle the biggest health challenges of our times.
We need great problem-solvers, communicators, collaborators and outside-of-the-box thinkers. If you're eager to apply your unique expertise to our collective purpose, here are four ways to supplement your STEM undergraduate curriculum, gain valuable skills and set yourself apart when it's time to launch your career.
Smart Coursework Add-Ons—Even For Those With STEM Backgrounds
Looking ahead, we anticipate that some level of technical aptitude is going to be a core component of nearly every role at Johnson & Johnson. And that will have wide-ranging implications for all candidates—even those candidates who already have STEM backgrounds and training.
"It's a fascinating time, with all of the new digital platforms, robotics and smarter devices that we're building," said Michael Coyle, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, Medical Devices. "But it also means that understanding how to integrate these tools with other software systems and the cloud is incredibly important."
To help students adapt, Michael advises them to pursue coursework in systems engineering, multidisciplinary engineering and embedded software. He also thinks that some familiarity with statistics, and statistical analysis, will help, too. "In an interconnected world," he explained, "traditional engineers will need to think in terms of how invisible layers of data interact with one another, not simply the way that one physical mechanism acts on another."
Look for Process- and Project-Based Coursework
At Johnson & Johnson, we value soft skills like problem-solving and critical thinking in all of our team members, because we know they're drivers of exploration and innovation. But an understanding of process is equally key.
"We really want to get a sense of what your process is when you approach a problem," said Michael. "How do you test your assumptions? Can you communicate how you got from point A to point B?"
That's why undergraduate coursework in logic or philosophy is a smart way to round out your STEM curriculum. In many of these courses, how you've arrived at an answer—and articulating the transition from one argument to another to build your case—will be as important as the answer you get.
Coursework in psychology is another option. As an interdisciplinary area of study that straddles arts and science, psychology asks you to use existing empirical studies and clinical research to evaluate and understand behaviors. This might be especially insightful for students who want to apply their technical skills to a career in marketing later on.
Hone Your Written and Verbal Communication Skills
We want everyone to reach their full potential at Johnson & Johnson. And we know that no matter what career you ultimately choose, the ability to clearly, effectively and persuasively communicate with your co-workers—both in writing and in speech—is a powerful skill and key ingredient for professional success.
Undergraduate coursework in many liberal arts areas of study, from art history to political science, takes written and verbal communication (plus the critical thinking behind it) as the basis on which students are evaluated. It's a great way to hone your communication and critical thinking skills.
"These soft skills absolutely matter," said Amitha Kumar, Senior R&D Engineer, Product Performance Evaluation, Medical Devices at Johnson & Johnson. "Anything to do with communication, networking or negotiation will help students prepare for an exciting STEM career. That's especially true in my field, where you often have to deliver technical information to nontechnical audiences."
Plenty of universities offer 101-level communication courses that are open to all students and specifically designed to enhance proficiency in practical skill areas like public speaking and business communications. "You don't have to go to an expensive college to get these skills," said Amitha. "You can read books or take online courses."
She added, smiling, "I'm a big believer in TED Talks."
Extracurriculars Can Give You An Extra Boost
"Engineers are sometimes shy," said Ralphfiel Farrar, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, Medical Devices at Johnson & Johnson. "So we work with them, because collaborative teamwork is fundamental for everything we do at Johnson & Johnson."
To stand out, Ralphfiel suggests candidates call attention to ways they have demonstrated their ability to work in teams. It can be as simple as highlighting extracurricular activities. "Whether you played sports, were active in a performance group or held a leadership position with a school organization—we're looking for people who take initiative," he said, "and those types of skills can transfer very well."
Mark Stalbird, Senior University Recruiter at Johnson & Johnson, agreed that leadership potential is top of mind among our recruiters. "Hiring managers are always looking for leadership qualities when they evaluate STEM candidates," he said. "That, and the ability to work in collaborative team environments."
Join Johnson & Johnson Today!
We're passionate about lifelong learning and letting people pursue whatever path inspires them. So you'll find ongoing learning opportunities when you join Johnson & Johnson—from mentorship to training and professional development. We know that when you apply your talent and drive to our collective purpose, there's no end to the lasting impact we can make together.

After the pigeon has recovered from the shock of being caught it will need to be examined for signs of injury or illness.
Examine its whole body for injury. Look under the wings. Any cuts should be cleaned with warm water and a very mild antiseptic.
If it has thread around its feet this will have to be removed (See string damage).
Open its beak gently and look at the back of the throat. White or cheesy lumps could be a sign of canker.Do not try to dislodge them. A foul-smelling 'cheesy' growth in the beak or throat cavity could also indicate pigeon pox (the two can initially be confused).
Check its eyes and nostrils. Discharge from the nostrils or eyes, sneezing and breathing difficulties will need treatment with antibiotics and would be best checked out by a vet.
Check its droppings. A healthy pigeon's droppings are plump, firm and brown capped with a bit of white.Watery green droppings could be a sign of coccidiosis. Green droppings in conjunction with a pigeon so thin you can easily feel its breastbone may mean that the pigeon is starved.
Check behaviour. Seed tossing, turning in circles, neck torsion (e.g., head twisted upside down) can all be signs of paramyxovirus. Neck torsion could also be a symptom of paratyphoid.


What is there to do in Koh Samui? – Travel. Live. Eat.
July 28, 2017 August 1, 2017 travel live eat4 Comments on What is there to do in Koh Samui?
Koh samui, the second largest island in Thailand, is only 1.5 hour ferry ride away from Surat Thani. It's known for many things such as beaches and resorts but there are more things to explore than that; here are things you can do if you plan to spend your summer in Koh Samui.
This Big Buddha is the iconic sight of Koh Samui. If you haven't visited, you really can't say you've been to Koh Samui.
By the way, don't forget to wear something that covers your shoulders as it's the rule of the temple. If you do forget then you have to use the scarfs that they give out in front of the stairway for lease before you enter the area!
The rock formations locates by the coastline have two separates forms; Hin ta (grandpa's rock) and Hin yai (grandma's rock). The water is especially blue around here.
The shapes of the rocks are very interesting and were formed this way naturally; in terms of what they look like, I'll let your imagination do the work when you come and see it for yourself.
Maenam beach is basically the coastline that separates the water line and the shore around Samui island. You can take a long stroll and you would end up in the beach areas behind various hotels. It's especially peaceful and lovely when the sun is setting as you get to see the pinkish red/orange sky while picnicing with friends or family.
where you can get an up close sight of the ocean waves kissing the rocks, for some reason it was very fascinating and relaxing!
Koh Samui has countless number of motorcycle rental stores, you can rent approximately from 1,500 Baht ($50 USD) a day.
It won't take you long to explore the whole island, as the road that circles around the place is about 67.5 kilometres long. Don't have to worry about getting lost, no matter which direction you take you would easily end up at the main road. Stay on the main road and enjoy the view as you ride by, and in no time you will end up at where you started.
Not sure why this place is not well known amongst tourists, because it's such an amazing place. I would say Rai Yai Pan restaurant should be the iconic viewpoint of Koh Samui!
It's about 15-20 minute up hill but it's so worth it. From the restaurant you get to see half the island, not even sure how high it was from the lower area but it was pretty high!
I was pretty sad that I didn't have a drone as it would be so beautiful to see the view of the island from above but this place showed me that I didn't need one!
And they've got spots for you to rest and enjoy the nature by your tables. Even though it was really windy, the atomsphere was so relaxing as it's location is away from the main city area.
No, I'm not talking about just clubs and ladyboy shows (similar to burlesques). What I'm saying is that the streets come alive at night; that includes amazing seafood restaurants, shops, malls… EVERYTHING!
What does it look like? Pattaya! A busy city so lively and bright. If you're looking for good restaurants to eat, it's hard to find some during the day as they are mostly opened in the evening and at night. The only ones you'll find during the day are small street local restaurants.
8. Say bye to beaches, go diving!
Islands are no fun if you don't get to go diving. It's a MUST, as near the shore water isn't that clean but if you go a bit further it gets clearer and more beautiful!
This place looks incredible. I love the photos, so scenic and beautiful. I'll have to get myself there one day.
It looks amazing, I missed it in my trip to Thailand unfortunately. It is overwhelming like Phuket or does it have a more laid back vibe?
Previous What is HongKong like?


We're out and about somewhere and we see this amazing dress or a really fancy car, and we get an irresistible urge to splurge. We may be at a friends place and their newly renovated kitchen or porch makes us want to run out and hire a contractor. We've all been there.
There is nothing wrong with buying the things we like. The purchasing of items and services is, after all, the whole purpose of money. If we couldn't exchange money for useful things it would be just worthless pieces of paper, or maybe just a meaningless number in a computer somewhere. However, we often get ourselves in trouble when we don't fully visualize what it will cost to purchase this item we're currently coveting.
The trouble is the cost in dollar terms is easily lost on us because we are not very good at visualizing numbers. Therefore, the best way to control the urge to splurge is to visualize the cost in terms of something else we really covet.
This "something" else could be anything that we value very highly in our lives. In the case of my wife and I, we often use travelling as a point of reference. My wife will often joke about getting an expensive designer purse, but she immediately puts it in travel terms, and it makes the urge go away. "It's only enough money to backpack Asia for 3 months" is the best antidote to a bad impulse purchase. "That kitchen reno would be great! it's just about enough money to finance a full year travelling around the world for the entire family." Ehh, maybe we'll skip it.
The same goes for putting money away for retirement or for time away from work. We try to fully visualize what that extra $3,000 spent on furniture means in terms of buying our time back. Would I rather buy new furniture for my basement, or take 2 months off work to spend with my newborn child, as I am doing this summer. To me, the choice is pretty obvious once it's stated in this way.
This can also work for recurring purchases such as cable bills and gym memberships. What we usually do is multiply this monthly bill by 12 and put it in terms of vacations or plane flights. $1,500 a year for cable can buy two plane tickets to somewhere in the Caribbean, Central America or even South America.
The use of travel and time off as a comparison works for us because we value these things very highly. However, you may have entirely different priorities. Perhaps your priority is improving your home, or being able to go out to your own cottage every week, or to buy a boat. Whatever the priority is, the key is recognizing it, and then making the little daily decisions to get you there. Framing any impulse purchases in terms of delaying or preventing you from reaching those true priorities will help you control the urge to splurge. It will also help you achieve those goals much sooner.

Time Magazine: "Who Is Gary Johnson? And Why Is the GOP So Mad at Him?"
Governors In G.O.P. Urge Stand On Budget
Gary Johnson: GOP candidates are 'fluff'
Marijuana use claim close to the mark
"Fifty percent of the graduating class of the year 2012 will have smoked marijuana or have done illegal drugs."
Gary Johnson on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 in a forum
Most Georgians missed it, but there was a presidential debate here after all.
Actually, it was a forum, and the candidates weren't the Republicans vying for the White House. (CNN canceled a debate set for last Thursday in Atlanta when GOP candidates Mitt Romney and Ron Paul said they had other plans.)
These candidates were Libertarians, five of them, and they answered questions from a moderator for about an hour at their party's Georgia state convention Feb. 25 in Athens. The Truth-O-Meter started swaying when Gary Johnson, who won a straw poll afterward with 79 percent of the vote, was asked a question about legalizing marijuana.
Johnson, who believes in legalizing marijuana, said an individual's drug problem should be handled by his or her family — not the criminal justice system. He then offered this statistic:
"Fifty percent of the [high school] graduating class of the year 2012 will have smoked marijuana or have done some illegal drugs," said Johnson, a former two-term governor of New Mexico.
We wondered whether Johnson, who initially tried running as a Republican for president this year, was correct?
For the record, Johnson doesn't believe teenagers should have access to marijuana. Johnson does believe marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and thinks the money the federal government spends on marijuana enforcement could be better spent "against the individuals committing real crimes against society."
The Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention keeps data on marijuana use. According to the CDC's most recent data, from 2009, nearly 46 percent of 12th-graders had smoked marijuana at least once. Nearly 51 percent of 12th-grade boys had used marijuana, while the percentage of girls was lower, at just over 40 percent. In Georgia, the percentage of all 12th-graders who tried marijuana at least once was nearly identical to the national average.
The CDC figures showed the following for other illicit drug use by 12th-graders in 2009:
Nearly 8 percent had used cocaine.
2.5 percent had tried heroin.
About 4 percent used methamphetamines.
8 percent had tried Ecstasy.
Slightly more than 3 percent had used steroids.
There was no overall figure for the percentage of 12th-graders who used any illegal drug.
The federal National Institutes of Health has data on its website that says 42 percent of 12th-graders in 2009 had tried marijuana. The percentage had actually declined from nearly 48 percent in 2002. Officials there provided PolitiFact Georgia some data for all types of illicit drug use by 12th-graders.
"In 2011, 50% of high school seniors reported having tried an illicit drug at some time,
40% used one or more drugs in the past 12 months, and 25% used one or more drugs in the prior 30 days," Shirley Simson, a media specialist for the NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse, told us via email.
Simson said there's been an increase in the past four years, primarily due to more teenagers smoking marijuana.
The National Center for Education Statistics has data on its website that says about 47 percent of the graduating class of 2009 had tried any type of illicit drug. The percentage has declined each year since 2000, when 54 percent of high school seniors had tried drugs.
We couldn't find data about the percentage of high school seniors graduating this year who've smoked marijuana or have done any kind of illicit drug. The studies we've found show drug use among 12th-graders hovers around the 50 percent mark, with a slight decline in recent years. We rate his claim as Mostly True.

Greensboro Passport Renewal Agency | Expedite Your Passport!
Travel Visa Pro is opening pick up and drop off locations in smaller cities to accommodate travelers who need help with visa and passport applications on a regular basis. Greensboro is just one of the latest offices we're opening to handle the increasing number of clients who often travel for work or leisure. In addition to the closest staffed TVP offices in Washington DC and Atlanta, Travel Visa Pro's Greensboro location and other pick up and drop off locations like it offer limited services for visa applications, passport applications, and travel consulting. Residents of Greensboro who want high quality service without the additional shipping costs can stop by to drop off their applications.
Most of Travel Visa Pro's clients come to us because of our extensive experience – over ten years in the industry – and our ability to cut down the wait time. If you need new travel documents and are living in Greensboro, that usually means you'll have to have access to foreign consulates, a regional passport office, and possibly a few other government agencies. Some require appointments and do not necessarily accept applications by mail, but a company like Travel Visa Pro has a good working relationship with many consular staff, proving a faster turnaround for your passport renewal or a visa for a country without an online application.
Without a Travel Visa Pro in Greensboro, you might have had to ship everything separately, but this pick up and drop location is capable of receiving all your documents and processing them without the need for shipping costs and driving time. If you're applying for a passport, there are a few steps to follow that can be a little difficult for first timers. Applying for a renewal days after your old document expired is different than if your passport book was issued more than 15 years old. Knowing the proper application forms and any potential hurdles along the way is just one more reason to entrust your application to a passport agency like Travel Visa Pro. As long as you place a minimum order for any TVP service in Greensboro, we will forward your applications to our closest staffed office free of charge for processing in a hurry.
Preparing for travel means more than just sending out applications ahead of time and hoping for the best result. Any returned form due to missing documents or errors can mean costly delays, sometimes resulting in cancelled trips or invalid visas. At Travel Visa Pro, we'll work with you to ensure the documents you need are processed in the time you want; if that means you have time to spare, there's no need to pay extra. This pick up and drop off location also allows our clients to call us using a Greensboro phone number, review us online as a local business, and search for us on Google like any local service.
Travel Visa Pro can offer travelers services from staff members with over forty years' experience handling visa and passport applications. Greensboro's offices may not have these travel experts on site, but it still offers a variety of services tailored to meet your needs. We can offer passport renewals in as little as 1-2 business days, visa services to countries that might otherwise be difficult to obtain, and expedited service in all areas according to your departure date and budget. No matter whether you're in the market for an expedited passport renewal, first-time passports for your children, or a second passport to travel while applying for visas, Travel Visa Pro should be your first stop in Greensboro.
Our pick up and drop off services are just the beginning of what our staff around the country can offer residents of Greensboro. Why pay to ship your documents to an unknown company across the country when you can walk up to a Travel Visa Pro in your own city and send your documents and applications for free? The convenience of all our services includes Concierge Service for those needing the personal attention of a TVP team member and Executive Choice Service for business travelers looking to benefit from the experience of our owner.
Travel Visa Pro has nine staffed offices across the United States close to multiple foreign consulates and regional passport centers to process applications faster. Choosing TVP in Greensboro to renew your passport means you can just relax before your trip and let our staff do the legwork. Celebrating over ten years in business, we are the professionals in the visa and passport expediting industry you need when it comes time to travel.

Snookered in Mississippi

The saga of the lesbians who got married in Mississippi continues
The story I wrote last week, about the two females who snookered Mississippi into giving them a wedding license, is going national. Media outlets like the Jackson (MS) Clarion-Ledger and extremist wingerleft sites like GLAAD and DailyKos have picked up on the story and amplified it. A national reporter from the Associated Press approached me just yesterday. We haven't heard the last of this tale.
It won't be long before media begin contacting state officials for a response. Will they be ready?
(As an aside, if you don't want people to find out about your same-sex wedding, posting your wedding license on your Facebook page is probably not the best way to go about it. The two females here are the ones who made their same-sex marriage public, not anyone else. The only way people across the country know about this story is that they are collaborating with the homosexual lobby and the low-information media to make sure everybody in America finds out.)
Mississippi does not permit same-sex couples to get married. In 2004, 86% of Mississippians voted to elevate protection for natural marriage to the state constitution, the highest level of protection possible.
Here is how Mississippi's constitution reads:
Marriage may take place and may be valid under the laws of this state only between a man and a woman. A marriage in another state or foreign jurisdiction between persons of the same gender, regardless of when the marriage took place, may not be recognized in this state and is void and unenforceable under the laws of this state. (Emphasis mine.)
Both of the individuals in this counterfeit "marriage" are females in every single solitary cell of their bodies and will be until the day they die. That's why this is a case of biological fraud.
Mississippi doesn't change the gender on a birth certificate for sexually confused individuals. Both of them have birth certificates that identify them biologically as females, Nicole and Jessica. The bottom line is that two females managed to get married in a state where it's flatly illegal and unconstitutional.
The fact that these two women have three children between them is all the proof anyone needs that they are both females.
They used a court order from a local judge to get a driver's license falsely identifying one of them as a male, and then used that driver's license to get a marriage license. But no local judge has the authority to set aside the state constitution through a court order, and the driver's license bureau doesn't have that authority either.
Since both parties to this faux marriage are females, the state constitutional and legal standard has been violated here. The real issue now is whether the state of Mississippi will allow this unconstitutional wedding to stand.
Now that Big Gay has turned this into a national story, the next move is up to the state attorney general. The Gay Mafia (Bill Maher's term) has thrown down on the state of Mississippi. They are defying the Magnolia State and daring Mississippi to uphold the will of the people and their constitution.
GLAAD is one of the largest pro-gay organizations in the country. They've taken the lead in making sure everybody in America knows that two lesbians got married in a state where it's illegal.
The fact that they are lesbians and are in a lesbian relationship was never the problem. If they'd been content to keep their relationship private, to keep what they do in the privacy of their own bedroom, there'd be no controversy. The problem began when they hoodwinked Mississippi into giving them a wedding license they're not ethically entitled to.
The activists and agitators of Big Gay are trying to paint Nicole and Jessica as victims, but the real aggressor here is the gay lobby and the real victims of fraud here are the voters of Mississippi. The homosexual lobby is using this lesbian twosome as pawns in their crusade to legitimize same-sex marriage.
The Gay Gestapo (Tammy Bruce's term) is using them to stick a finger in the eye of the authorities in Mississippi. That makes the real issue here the question of what Mississippi will do about it.
The story is no longer about this same-sex couple or those who were involved in bringing this story to light. The story now is that this is a showdown between Big Gay and the state of Mississippi. Who will blink first?

Why It's So Important to Talk About Eating Disorders Past and Present: "It Can Save a Life"
June 12, 2019, 9:32 AM ET
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards opens up about her own struggle.
By Marianne Garvey
Kyle Richards Reveals Why She Finally Opened Up About Struggling With Anorexia
Lisa Rinna's daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin opened up about her battle with anorexia in the hopes that she may help others. Following an all-too-real episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the teen explained to fans on Instagram Stories that she was not in a good place during an uncomfortable dinner scene with her family.
"During that time, one year ago — I was not in a good place at all," she wrote. "I may have looked like I was recovered, but I was definitely not. Within the scene you will see me lashing out due to my fear of food. The person displayed in tonight's episode is not the person I am. It was the person anorexia made me. I hope you guys can take this and relate to it."
She continued, "I'm sure I'm going to get thousands of horrible comments in regards to how rude I was to my father. I just wanted everyone to know why I acted out the way that I did. I was a vegetarian because I was AFRAID of eating meat. If you watch it you'll understand. I'm just hoping this experience will make me stronger and appreciate how amazing it truly feels to be 100% RECOVERED and HAPPY!!!!!"
Amelia also shared some raw photos from when she was struggling. "Sadly I feel the need to remind people what anorexia looks like. And there is not just one type," she said.
Hearing about Amelia's struggle allowed Kyle Richards to open up about her own eating disorder. She revealed to the ladies that when she was 17 she weighed just 99 pounds and was in a bad place.
"I never talked about my eating disorder, I'm not saying this is the right choice, but I have four daughters, I just was so terrified that they would ever have one, I didn't even want them to have that in their head," Kyle explained on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show. "But sitting in that moment with Lisa Rinna talking about Amelia, they were talking about all these things that I knew and experienced… It felt like the right thing to do. I'm always gonna be a person who's, I'm very structured with my eating… I'm fine now, but yeah."
"Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate out of all mental illness, which is why it is so important that women (or men) who have had an eating disorder in the past share their stories if they are ready," Nicole Avena, PhD. and assistant professor of neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, told Personal Space.
"It helps others who are struggling to know that they can get better, get help, and get connected to the resources that they need to start their recovery. It is also important for the individual who has a history of an eating disorder to be open about it with their family and friends. There is no shame in it, and since there are genetic factors associated with some eating disorders, it can save a life," Dr. Avena, who authored Why Diets Fail, added.
As for assuming that someone has an eating disorder, be careful, she says.
"Just because someone is thin, or has lost a lot of weight recently, doesn't mean that they have an eating disorder," Dr. Avena said. "There are lots of medical conditions that can lead to weight loss, and it is important to remember that not all individuals who have an eating disorder are underweight (many are actually normal weight or overweight)."
She said the best way to approach any concerns you may have if you think someone may have an eating disorder is "to let them know that you are there for them and concerned about their health and want to help them."
"Telling someone that they don't need to be on a diet or that they look great isn't going to help, in most cases, and it might even make things worse," she explained.
If you are suffering or know of someone who is suffering from an eating disorder, help is available at the National Eating Disorders Association Helpline: 1-800-931-2237.

How Common Are Truck Accidents?
More than 30 million different kinds of trucks operate on American roads. They play an integral role in the economy, hauling billions of tons of freight across the country. However, despite these behemoths' crucial role, they put everyone on the road in danger. Thousands of people are injured and lose their lives in truck accidents every year.
If you were a truck accident victim, consider consulting a lawyer to learn more about such accidents, the contributing factors, and why seeking legal help is vital.
Truckers Have a Higher Accident Rate Per Driver Than Others on the Road
According to a publication posted at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), around 159,000 people were injured, and 5,005 lost their lives in accidents involving large trucks in 2019. That year, statistics revealed that of the 2 million active commercial truck drivers in the country, about 450,000 of them were involved in a serious accident. This adds up to a 1 in 5 likelihood of a truck driver being involved in an accident every year.
Tractor-trailers and large trucks, in general, make up a small percentage of the vehicles on the road, but they are involved in nearly 500,000 accidents every year. Despite making up just 0.008% of licensed drivers in the U.S., truckers are involved in 8% of all vehicle accidents in the country.
A commercial truck driver is much more likely to be involved in an accident than an average driver. So, why do truck drivers have a higher accident rate per driver than other license holders? Why are they more likely to get into crashes than the average driver?

What Factors Contribute to Truck Accidents?
Truck accidents tend to be among the most devastating crashes on the road, primarily due to the large vehicles' immense weight and size. Data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety (FMCS) shows that the following factors are common in most truck accidents:
Driver Negligence or Error: Operating a large truck requires plenty of skill and attention to detail. Truck drivers often have to make calculations and decisions that ordinary drivers do not have to consider. If they are negligent or are not paying enough attention to the road when turning and making maneuvers, they may collide with other motorists or passengers.
Poor Truck Maintenance: Poor or negligent maintenance is partly responsible for many truck accidents. Unsecured cargo and failed brakes were the primary causative factors in these crashes.
Driver Fatigue or Exhaustion: Truck drivers usually log long hours behind the wheel. These long work hours could lead to fatigue and exhaustion without enough rest. According to the NHTSA, more than 91,000 crashes occurred after the drivers fell asleep at the wheel in 2019.
Speeding: Due to their weight, trucks generate a lot of inertia and take much longer than regular cars to come to a complete stop. As such, truck drivers cannot react fast to changes in direction and speed once they start speeding, making it difficult to control their vehicles and increasing the likelihood of crashes.
Unfavorable Weather Conditions:Weather like snow, rain, and fog can impair visibility and make the roads slippery. Truck drivers will have an especially hard time controlling their trucks in these conditions.
How Can a Truck Accident Lawyer Help Me?
If you have been involved in a truck accident, you might be entitled to compensation from the at-fault party or parties. However, getting the compensation you deserve can be a daunting process. Anyone who has ever dealt with insurance providers knows just how much of a hassle it can be. On top of collecting all the pertinent evidence and filing all the relevant paperwork, you will have to negotiate with insurance representatives.
That is probably the last thing you want to do when you are stuck in a hospital bed injured, with no income, and wondering how you will pay for your everyday expenses and the mounting medical bills. However, a lawyer can build a solid truck accident case and negotiate with the insurance providers on your behalf.
Your truck accident attorney will work to get you enough compensation to cover the following types of damages:
Present and future medical expenses
Rehabilitation and therapy
Disfigurement, scarring, and loss of limbs
Physical suffering and emotional anguish
Wrongful death if the truck accident resulted in the death of a loved one
Lost income and loss of earning potential

Bluetooth 5.0 TWS JS18 headphones (copy of Huawei FreeBuds)
March 18, 2019 Photo, audio and video
Price: 1925 rubles
Hello everyone, while the Nokia Steel HR watch is going to talk about one more JS18 TWS headphones, which copy the appearance and partial functionality of the Huawei freebuds.
Generally a form factor (symbiosis of Apple airpods andSamsung iconX, where Apple's leg, and Samsung's in-channel performance) I immediately liked Huawei, scared off the high price first, then negative feedback on sound quality: breaks, uneven sound (acceleration / deceleration due to lack of cache memory), lagging behind video and lack of support for AAC codec in the first versions of the firmware. In many ways, I think, Bluetooth 4.2 is to blame. Yes, and the price of Huawei freebuds is not very democratic (by the way, in general, everything that Huawei does not like me, but this is a subjective opinion that has developed as a result of using their tablets, advertising shaft of their devices from everywhere and carelessness to believe advertising) .
And recently, I discovered in the tape of sentences Alisuspiciously familiar outlines of the case. It turned out that the Chinese also first riveted their freebuds clones with Bluetooth 4.2 (sell for ± 1300r), as well as a more technologically advanced version with Bluetooth 5.0 for ~ 2000r, which was purchased for "see how it is there".
So, contrary to expectations, the package turned out to be softplastic case with a zipper, inside which lay: a case with ears, 2 additional pairs of nozzles, 30cm microusb cable and instructions in Chinese and English. There is no box, film, holograms and identification marks, it's a real noname, apparently the creators of the clone are afraid of Huawei.

All the nozzles, as usual, for delivery: I did not like the form and quality of performance, immediately put on my own (softer ones).

Differences from freebuds (those found in reviews):
- in the Bluetooth 5.0 clone (in freebuds 4.2);
- there is support for the AAC codec (in freebuds, they say, there wasn't added in one of the updates, before that, they allegedly couldn't "pump" more than 128kbps, I didn't use it, I don't know);
- there is no sensor that determines that they are inserted into the head - sadness №1;
- microusb charging port (in freebuds usb-c) - sadness №2;
- there is no pairing initialization button on the box(instead, you need 6-8 seconds to hold the touch panel with the earpiece turned off, it first turns on and then goes into pairing mode with the phone), as for me, it is more convenient, there is no attachment to the case, like the "branded" headphones;
- there is no phone application (if they work out of the box perfectly - there is no need to update the firmware).
When first turned on, it turned out that to zerothe case and the left earpiece are discharged, but the right one was charged at "about 100%". When charging the case, the white diode blinks, the headphones themselves are green diodes. When charging is completed, the diode of the case turns green and the headphone diodes go out. Charging time about one and a half to two hours, set, went to the gym, when he returned everything was charged.
It seems that while the ears are charging, a diode on the box is lit, when they are "full", it goes out.
The box itself is made of glossy plastic of average quality (scratched), the lid on a powerful magnet (no matter how it shook, it did not open).
one more photo
The lid itself is not spring-loaded and dangles a bit,no sense of structural strength. Inside the matte plastic, the places for headphones are labeled L and R, but the shape of the headphones is such that it is impossible to confuse. Headphones are also magnetized, but very weakly, only for aligning the contacts, there are also recesses for headphones in the lid, so that they do not hang out in a closed box. The capacity of the battery is declared at 500mAh (I think it will be enough to charge 3 times if they promise 5)
Headphones are glossy, assembled perfectly without burrs and mismatches in the dimensions of the parts, mesh fabric (it is a pity that it is not metal, like soundcore liberty air). Battery capacity 55 mAh.
Promised noise and protection IPX4. But I would not count on it: noise only for microphones at best, but protection from splashes and sweat is everywhere.
you can't praise yourself ... (advertising banner from Ali)
It is a pity that in an attempt to copy freebuds, the Chinese put the headphones into the box horizontally, it's not convenient to get them, I would prefer vertical placement like that of apple airpods / soundcore liberty air.
It is very good that there is no "Chinese" - golden rims, names of incomprehensible "brands".
Ears are included when removing themselves from the case andautomatically begin to look for the source of the signal, in the subsequent times they connect to the last device, speak in pleasant English without an accent in a female voice, the battery indicator appears in the phone's tray.
By the way, does anyone know why the ears are asking for access to the history of telephone calls (if you don't give, nothing changes)?
By themselves, the ears are paired initially, by default the left earpiece is the lead, connect to the phone quickly, the AAC codec (Xiaomi Mi Max 3).
screen from phone
All modes of touch panels and other thingsdescribed in the instructions, I don't see any reason to stop, everything is just like everyone else: one tap - pause / launch of music, double tap on the left / right earpiece - track forward / backward. I would prefer buttons, with touch panels there are false presses when touched, for example, to fix in the ear.
The work time is stated 6 hours when listening to music, I do not believe, for such ears the standard is ~ 4 hours. 70 minutes of listening to music at full volume lost one charge division in the phone's tray.
I drove them twice to work and back(bus, subway, walking in the center of Moscow time); sound).
Could not understand, whether it is possible to make the leading rightearpiece (by default, the left presenter, I am right-handed and I am uncomfortable wearing the phone in my left pocket). Separately, they work as independent devices, but when the right one is connected, the left one does not see it ... it can not figure it out.
In the ears they sit comfortably, fit snugly to the temple, do not stick out, the shape is copied perfectly (judging by the freebuds photo).
in the body
It sounds great, at the level of analogs starting from QCYT1 and ending with Zolo Liberty Air. The bass is in place, and such a nice, "fat" one, the middle and top of the frequency range do not turn into a mess, I think this is the merit of the AAC codec. From personal experience, the difference with the SBC codec is felt even on MP3 320kbit (the same Samsung iconX 2018 sounds a lot worse, there all the top is a solid hiss and a whistle).
It is quite comfortable to talk, the interlocutor hearsgood (microphones are on the ends of the legs), but there are supposedly 2 of them on each earpiece (there is a hole closer to the beginning of the legs). When talking, the sound comes from both headphones.
Eventually: for ~ 2000 is a good choice for those who don't like both Samsung iconX vacuum plugs and apple aipdods variations that don't have any sound insulation, here's 2 in 1: and the sound insulation doesn't press on cartilage.

write content that also acts like honey to the Search Engine Bears.
build traffic through a variety of strong techniques.
You stand at the start of a trend that will grow geometrically over the next three years, building income through content. The affiliate model of product distribution is set to explode.
There's nothing else. Go get 'em. I wish you only great success in all of your Web ventures.
To stay on the cutting edge of affiliate success, join the 5 Pillar Affiliate Program, the weekly Five Pillar Affiliate Report will send you original, ground-breaking information that you can use to continue to build your affiliate business.
Allan Gardyne (the guru from associateprograms.com) called the Manual "the best Manual about succeeding as an affiliate on the Net", better even than manuals costing over $60. And the Ultimate Ad Tracker is much better than similar programs that sell on the Net for $50 and more, it's ideal for setting the special tracking links discussed during chapter 10.

The Inexplicable Viability of Mayor Pete's Vanity Campaign
If Buttigieg weren't a white dude filling the Democratic centrist void, would anybody be taking this inexperienced mayor's bid for president seriously?
Sady Doyle Dec 5, 2019
Pete Buttigieg probably didn't intend to get this far. The South Bend, Indiana, mayor, who started as a media novelty and is now one of the front runners to win the Iowa caucus, is not so different from many of the no-hope candidates who've hung in for the first year (!) of the 2020 Presidential Election. He didn't buy his way onto the debate stage, like Tom Steyer, nor is he a fringe-dwelling chaos agent like Tulsi Gabbard. But, like New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio or Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper or any of the other no-name white guys who've since disappeared from our collective memory, Mayor Pete is likely just an ambitious local politician who wanted to make a name for himself on the national stage, and thought the primary might be a good way to get noticed.
The problem is that we are less than 90 days from the Iowa caucus, the once-historically diverse Democratic primary field is now spiraling toward an all-white and mostly male field. And Buttigieg—who has neither the experience to serve as president nor any deeply felt convictions to govern from, should he be elected—has outlasted several better, or at least more interesting, candidates. He is now a viable candidate for the presidency. His success is, among other things, an indicator of how much better we tolerate self-serving ambition when the person who has it is a white man.
Buttigieg's good fortune is not his own doing. The implosion of Joe Biden's candidacy has left a white-male-centrist-shaped hole in the party. There are certain Democratic voters who will never feel totally comfortable running a woman or a person of color in the general election, and Bernie Sanders—another white guy who, like Biden, seemed unassailable at the beginning of the primary and has been losing ground ever since—will never appeal to moderates, or, most likely, to people outside of his pre-established fan base.
Enter Pete Buttigieg, a white man who has happily drifted toward the middle lane, even as it means hastily revising or abandoning his prior positions. He entered the race by "[declaring], most affirmatively and indubitably, unto the ages, that I do favor Medicare for All"; he's now become the policy's loudest critic, complaining about M4A "raising taxes on the middle class" and explaining why he won't provide non-citizens with health care. He entered as a Spoon-playing, Bernie Sanders–loving millennial promising a "new generation of leadership;" now, he's a free-college-loathing managerial type who plays well with baby boomers.
There are other moderates in the race, most with longer and more distinguished records. Yet someone who "just feels uncomfortable" voting for Senators Amy Klobuchar or Cory Booker can slip easily into formation behind Mayor Pete, without questioning why he feels like the safer choice. Buttigieg isn't unilaterally privileged—he's gay, and no one should seek to deny how much hatred, violence, and death gay men in America have faced. But he's also white, male, Harvard-educated and comfortably middle-class in a way that makes him seem unthreatening to those in power. Buttigieg is less a candidate than he is a reassuring, candidate-like shape; his plans are rarely even articulated—safer to let people infer what feels most comfortable for them—and can always be scrapped if they hamper his advancement. This chameleon act, making one's way on a bright smile and a fresh haircut and a willingness to endorse whatever is most convenient, is, needless to say, not as profitable for candidates who are not white guys.
Buttigieg has been free to shape and re-shape himself, to blatantly act in pursuit of his own advancement and not much else, to elbow his way to the front of the line, in ways that would have gotten a female candidate condemned as "selfish" or "dishonest."
To understand the free ride Buttigieg has gotten, you can look to the data: One Harvard study, endlessly cited during the 2016 election, found that male politicians perceived to be "power-seeking" were seen as strong, whereas "power-seeking" women incited feelings of "moral outrage." But this question is not purely hypothetical. The best way to understand Buttigieg is to look at the female candidates around him, who have been tagged "ruthless," "ambitious" and "inauthentic," and often driven out of the race, for showing one-tenth of his open hunger for power and advancement.
Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris both entered the 2020 race with substantially more name recognition than Buttigieg. Gillibrand had been mentored by Hillary Clinton, whose Senate seat she inherited, and had garnered national press coverage for her leading role in the #MeToo movement. Harris, the second Black woman ever elected to the Senate, was a Democratic star in the making—often compared to Barack Obama—whose formidable performances in Senate hearings had gained her an ardent following. Both women's entrance to the presidential race was greeted with widespread mistrust, contempt, and sometimes outright fury.
The sexism involved in Gillibrand's downfall was more overt; her chances were nuked by powerful party donors, who were angry that she had been the first to call for Al Franken's resignation after he'd been accused of sexual misconduct. Any positive mention of Gillibrand would attract swarms of Franken defenders, calling her power-hungry, opportunistic, or treacherous—all the stereotypes we apply to women in power to explain our feeling that women should have less of it—and her media coverage was dominated by Franken to the exclusion of nearly everything else. Her run was as doomed as it was short-lived. Harris's positions on trans rights, sex work, and mental health all drew thoughtful critique, often from women who supported her. Yet she also inspired virulently personal anger, which was more focused on tearing her down as a person than on pressuring her to adopt better positions. The "leftists" who called Harris an "evil sociopath", complained about her laugh, or questioned whether she was faking her enjoyment of rap were often not advancing any specific agenda so much as they were propagating the same old stereotypes: Corrupt, selfish, "inauthentic," untrustworthy.
Neither candidate was perfect (is there such a thing?), yet in the end, the attacks on them could be boiled down to the same sexist epithet: Both women, I am reliably informed, were "disingenuous opportunists." Yet if the phrase "disingenuous opportunist" applies to anyone, it applies to Pete Buttigieg, who has thus far been free to shape and re-shape himself, to elbow his way to the front of the line, to blatantly act in pursuit of his own advancement and not much else, in ways that would have gotten a female candidate condemned with a thousand different versions of "selfish" or "liar" by now. (A man of color wouldn't fare too well with his approach, either—just ask Julian Castro, who's been labeled "mean" for challenging his debate opponents the same way Buttigieg does every time he steps on stage.) Pete is hardly beloved of the left, but aside from a few dunks on Twitter, he is more or less taken seriously. We can understand why Pete would push us to grant him more power before he's put in the same amount of work as his competitors, or why he's more focused on advancing up the ladder than in standing by his principles, because we raise white men to engage in the pursuit of power for its own sake. Pete Buttigieg is just doing what white men are expected to do.
What white men are expected to do, however, is different than what presidents should do. A historically diverse primary field, in a critical election year, should not come down to which guy can most easily contort himself to fill the white-male-centrist slot, even if certain conservative Democrats can't imagine any other type of candidate as a "leader." Pete Buttigieg probably never intended to become a frontrunner, and while he was still essentially running to raise his profile, rather than running to govern, it was easy to ignore him. Now, however, it's time to start taking him as seriously as he takes himself—and taking Pete Buttigieg seriously means acknowledging that he probably shouldn't be in this race at all.

Q: Using Webpack, can you use Google's closure compiler with HtmlWebpackPlugin? I am currently using Webpack with the HtmlWebpackPlugin to transpile and minify my code and create a HTML document from a template.
I was wondering if there is any way of using Google's closure compiling instead of using babel?
https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-closure-compiler
Below is my current plugin code which works with Babel to transpile the code.
plugins:
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
        filename: 'TestExport.html',
        template: './Resources/TestExport/TestExportTemplate.html',
        inject: false,
        custom: require("@babel/core").transformSync(fs.readFileSync('./Resources/TestExport/js/custom.js', 'utf8'), {
            "presets": ["@babel/preset-env"]
        }).code,
        style: fs.readFileSync('./Resources/TestExport/css/style.css', 'utf8'),
        minify: {
            html5: true,
            collapseWhitespace: true,
            minifyCSS: true,
            minifyJS: true
        }
    })

A: The https://www.npmjs.com/package/closure-webpack-plugin plugin is the one maintained by the Closure team. And yes - it can co-exist with the HtmlWebpackPlugin.


A company has apologised after one of its delivery drivers crashed into a parked car on a Lincoln street and left without leaving any details.
The driver, who is employed by ArrowXL, smashed into the car while driving along Victoria Street in Lincoln just after 6pm on Tuesday, March 19.
But rather than get out and leave a note with his details, the driver got back into the van drove away from the scene.
The incident was witnessed by a neighbour, who said the car that was damaged is used by a woman with a disability.
"I heard a huge crash outside my window so I got up to have a look," said the neighbour, who didn't want to be named.
"I saw the delivery driver frantically looking around the car before realising what he had done.
"He jumped back in his cab and sped off.
The incident is said to have caused considerable damage to the car.
"The woman has made contact with the company," the neighbour added.
ArrowXL, a two-man home delivery service across the UK for 25 years, has said it has spoken with the woman and is arranging to fix the damage.
An ArrowXL spokesperson said: "We were made aware of this minor incident at the time and our insurers are dealing with the owner of the damaged car.
