A: You aren't allowed to put a div element (block item) inside a table row.
All jQuery selectors select all elements, whether they are hidden or not.

Orange City Democrat to challenge in HD 4
December 19, 2014 7:59 am·
John Buntsma of Orange City is the Democratic nominee for the Iowa House District 4 special election to be held Tuesday, Jan. 6.
By Jacob Hall
Orange City resident John Buntsma was nominated Thursday night by the Sioux County Democratic Parry as its nominee for Iowa House of Representatives District 4. Buntsma works at Staples in Orange City and had pondered jumping into the race for Iowa House a while ago.
"This was not something I had planned to do," he said. "I was approached about a year ago by the Assistant House Minority Leader (Todd Prichard) from Charles City (last spring). At the time I was just finishing up my term as president of (East) Sioux Classis for the RCA (Reformed Church of America) and didn't feel like I had the time. I am also the treasurer of the Library Board and have a long list of volunteer activities. When this special election came up, I was contacted again and also contacted by (other Sioux County Democrats) and received encouragement from a number of people to seek this office."
Though he did not run against incumbent Rep. Dwayne Alons in November, as Alons ran unopposed, Buntsma now says it is important the voters have a choice in the Tuesday, Jan. 6, special election to fill the seat after Alons' passing due to cancer earlier this month.
"It's just important people have a choice and there's not just one name on the ballot," he said. "That's one of the main reasons. We're a constitutional democracy and people need to have a choice."
Buntsma said he is concerned about education, health care and infrastructure issues.
"(Iowa) has slipped in (education)," he said. "We have issues with infrastructure. I talked with our county engineer and he said some counties may need to turn paved roads into gravel roads because there aren't funds to maintain the paved roads. Thousands of bridges in Iowa need repaired."
He also mentioned the issue of immigration. Buntsma, who was born in the Netherlands and is a naturalized U.S. citizen, said we need to deal with that issue in a "fair and equitable sort of way." He told the nine Democrats in attendance he would support driver licenses for illegal immigrants in Iowa.
Buntsma would like to see smoking banned in casinos in Iowa along with more funding for tobacco control. He added that the Affordable Care and Patient Protection Act (ObamaCare) should be fully implemented.
Another issue he mentioned during the question-and-answer phase of the convention was raising the minimum wage to $10.10, potentially over the course of a few years.
While the path to the Iowa House seat seems long, it's just a short time before voters head to the polls. No absentee voting will take place.
"I'll look to (Sioux County Democrats) for help," he said. "It's such a short time that I cannot be all over the place. I have a daughter coming in on Christmas Eve who I need to spend time with. I'm trying to finalize a budget for the Orange City Library for presentation to the city council. I maybe will look to our media too to help me out in that regard. As far as going door to door, there is no time for anything like that for anyone."
In addition to his professional background, Buntsma has been an advocate for other issues, including the American Cancer Society.
"When I first started at the Le Mars Daily Sentinel (as editor), they asked if I wanted to be the vice president of their unit and said, 'You never have to do any work,'" he said. "I became VP of the American Cancer Society unit in Plymouth County. The president, who was a pastor, moved out of town, so I ended up as president. The thing that drives me in that regard is I hate the thought of a mom having to say goodbye to a child for the last time. I still remember going to a 14-year old's visitation. She had been to one (Relay for Life) in her life and about two-thirds of the things on her table were related to that one relay she had been to."
Buntsma will face Republican John Kooiker of Boyden in the special election. Immediately following his nomination, Buntsma sat down with The Iowa Statesman for an exclusive one-on-one interview. You can read the full text of that Q&A by clicking here.

There was so much in The Australian's budget edition of Wednesday May 9 2012.
I guess this woman represents some sort of balance to offset the common sense of other writers in The Oz.
Maybe to keep the left happy; I guess - and to get them to buy your paper.
So maybe you can faithfully say to Conroy / Gillard / Green claims to their new media body designed to control The Oz - that yours is a journal also for the true believers! Not merely the evil media of the lamentable Bob Brown.
Cheryl Jones has worked for the CSIRO - and the article is sadly a continuum of her / their social - science - view of the scientific world! It is so revealing of what her mentors at the CSIRO yearn for and proudly promulgate.
Jones plainly vitiates common sense AKA real science! Look closely what her mentors have attempted: plain old censuring one of their own! Simply astonishing!
This is best demonstrated in how the head of CSIRO Megan Clark and the lame, useless Minister for Science Kim Carr lied in claiming they did not attempt to censure an economist re his economically unacceptable ideas on Carbon trading!
It was in The Australian at the time - 2009 -2010. In full detail: o wonder Carr was eventually sacked by the hapless Gillard.
There are links galore on my website.
It was so pathetic: the article accepted Global Lunacy also known as Global Warming / conveniently rebadged by the true believers as the forever - useful / utilitarian Climate Change.
This woman seriously discusses ''..intervening in the earth's atmosphere ... [via] geo engineering.. injecting aerosols.. to cool the planet...'' This is asinine at best. I have no intention of trying to prove this: mere intelligent children would understand - the left do not.
She quotes a professor from Arizona lovingly: "The old way of regulating the impact of technology doesn't work,"
As I watch science being destroyed in the pages of what was once regarded respectfully as the world's leading science journal Nature, as I see sheer idiocy being promulgated under the aegis of formerly responsible terminologies like peer - review, I ask- the China - Syndrome question. When will someone arise and say: enough! I can't stand it anymore?
When will those 'peer - reviewers' cease allowing themselves to be bullied by a small band of socialists who dominate university life?
The apparent / contrived - majority - trick is then mercilessly used by the dissemblers to imply a 'vast majority' position!
which pathetically, technically true some of the time.
Thus are the defacto majority - bullying tactics used by those lacking moral courage in allowing themselves to be manipulated by the now disreputable peer - reviewed process!!
This has been known since 2006.
commodity scarce it would seem.
My wife still thinks I am mad - maybe she is right.
This screed is a waste of time - there is no one with common sense.
And perhaps worse - it will be passed on only to like - believing pragmatics.
And nothing will change. Did anyone notice that Cheryl Jones item was in The Higher Education section? What hope is there for us?
JULIE HARE, HIGHER EDUCATION EDITOREVANS delivered a benign budget that delivered on indexation for teaching and research.
It would appear that CO2 is being used much like RBA interest rates to control the economy. It is certainly a factor and maybe the largest component but it is certainly not the whole story. That said, based on what I have read I think that humans are responsible for changing the atmospheric composition. Further we are doing so in a way that is probably not in our or the planet's best interests. And we are doing so with fossil fuels which at some point must run out.
Not long ago I suggested to a Gen Y that the science wasn't settled and C02 might not be the evil culprit it has been made out to be and that sun activity also had something to do with warming and cooling of the planet. I also dared to suggest the IPCC had been infiltrated by the Green and Renewable lobby, so may have compromised their credibility as a neutral, objective scientific organisation. I got a blank, incredulous stare, so I slapped Professor McKitrick's 50 page report, foreword by John Howard, in front of Mr Gen Y who squirmed at evidence of uncomfortable knowledge. Students on the topic of dangerous global warming due to 3% of human C02 (aka Climate Change) are not taught to critically think. They are taught to repeat by rote that 'C02 is derdy pollushun' and 'we must cut our emissions to be sustainable'. They have been repeatedly told the science is settled and any who question are termed psychologically deficient. Brainwashing and scaremongering has replaced balanced education and we now have a whole generation coming through who are not only good at parroting, but are ideologically compliant. It will take years to undo such programming!
I wouldn't be hanging out for Ian Chubb to make a difference. He is the Chief Scientist and a warmerist. As Chief Scientist he is paid by Julia to spruik her policies, which are anti-science. He was also the Vice-Chancellor of the ANU who was ready to believe the fake story about ANU climate scientist being subjected to death threats. He has a very poor track record on climate science. I doubt if his latest efforts will be any better.
Couldn't agree more. However, in the absence of good teaching in most schools it is imperative that parents continue to supply their children with critical thinking skills at home. If this means exposing ignorance or bias of teachers, so be it.
Over the last 25 years or so, Australian students at primary and secondary levels have been fed a regular diet of anthropological misuse of resources and environmental damage. As Michael Asten says, they have not been encouraged to examine these viewpoints critically, in order to distinguish the benefits and impacts, and to recognise the various shades of grey in which we have to live, and from which we must select. Is it any wonder that they are so readily attuned to accept guilt and responsibility for climate change? Rudd was partly right when he spoke of the issue being "the greatest moral challenge of our age" - but it is not the greatest challenge, and the moral challenge is one of honesty, of intellectual honesty. I'm encouraged that Asten sees this year as being perhaps a turning point in the "debate" that may at last be realised; I've also sensed a change. And he is absolutely right about the reservations that scientists express about climate sensitivity. A number of detailed scientific papers I have read express similar reservations, which of course are expunged from the IPCC summaries and trumpeted public warnings, that the sky is falling.
I agree that the current trends in teaching Science in schools are alarming. To me, as a scientist, these trends constitute a sad betrayal of the great scientists who have revealed the paths to our present material well-being, and have enabled our mastery of so much of the physical world. The question remains: what is to be done? How can scientific rigour be reintroduced to the teaching of Science?
"...atmospheric CO2 concentration is not the dominant contributor to global temperature variations of past and present centuries." Is there any way this could have been typed in bold, or highlighted?
Thank you for an informative and accurate article, with which I agree. Their are far too many Leftist ideologues in positions of power, which changes education into "indoctrination" Their motivations are rooted firmly in 1848.
MICHAEL Asten's commentary should be compulsory reading for all school teachers, not just those who teach science ("Science hijacked at school level", 8/5).
It is one thing for politicians to waste huge amounts of taxpayer money supporting a fraudulent industry based on the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis, which even a cursory reading of the geological evidence destroys.
It is a completely different matter when those responsible for educating the nation's children, some of whom, it is hoped, will become scientists, are so poorly and inadequately trained in science and the scientific method that they unquestioningly promulgate a hypothesis as undeniable fact.
One wonders how any of their unfortunate students will develop the necessary curiosity to become the next Pierre-Simon Laplace. A good starting point would be to consider the geological record of past climate change and ask the relevant questions of their teachers.
SOME research areas are political minefields.
Take geo-engineering. It's a field that is exploring whether to inject sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere to cool the planet.
Then there are the ongoing skirmishes about genetically modified organisms, human genetics and nanotechnology.
US science policy expert Daniel Sarewitz says closer collaboration between scientists and social scientists could help guide research and innovation towards areas likely to deliver the biggest social, environmental and economic dividends while avoiding the biggest risks.
Professor Sarewitz, a professor of science and society from Arizona State University, has also worked as an adviser to the US congress.
He calls for the early involvement of economists, ethicists, sociologists and psychologists in science projects as the pace of technological change quickens.
"The old way of regulating the impact of technology doesn't work," he says.
Professor Sarewitz is on a lecture tour of Australia and will speak at the University of Tasmania tomorrow and at the Australian National University next Monday.
As director of the Washington-based Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes, he is working on ways to integrate science and social science in innovation.
"We are exploring whether it is possible to build into the innovation process the capacity to think through impacts; to steer the directions of innovation towards social benefits and away from problems by starting early on, rather than waiting until things are highly embedded in the market and in the structure of economies," he says.
"This involves thinking through the potential social impacts and implications upstream in the journey the technology takes from the lab."
He acknowledges the difficulty in predicting technological impact, but stresses: "What we can do is be self-conscious about the evolution of the innovation."
The biggest problem is breaking down the barriers between disciplines.
"The first thing it requires is changing the way institutions organise themselves, because it means a radical crossing of disciplinary boundaries," he says.
Society could soon face proposals with implications on a planetary scale, including radical geo-engineering techniques.
"There are huge ethical geopolitical implications," Professor Sarewitz says.
"Is the notion of intervening in the Earth's atmosphere a good idea or a bad idea?"

The most interesting change stirring in the world of science and medical journals—and the change likely to have the most far-reaching impact—relates to peer review. Also known as "refereeing," the peer review process is used by journal editors to aid in deciding which papers are worth publishing. Some researchers may assume that peer review is a nuisance that scientists have always had to tolerate in order to be published. In reality, peer review is a fairly recent innovation, not widespread until the middle of the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century, many science journals were commandingly led by what Ohio State University science historian John C. Burnham dubbed "crusading and colorful editors," who made their publications "personal mouthpieces" for their individual views. There were often more journals than scientific and medical papers to publish; the last thing needed was a process for weeding out articles.
In time, the specialization of science precluded editors from being qualified to evaluate all the submissions they received. About a century ago, Burnham notes, science journals began to direct papers to distinguished experts who would serve on affiliated editorial boards. Eventually—especially following the post-World War II research boom—the deluge of manuscripts and their increasing specialization made it difficult for even an editorial board of a dozen or so experts to handle the load. The peer review system developed to meet this need. Journal editors began to seek out experts capable of commenting on manuscripts—not only researchers in the same general field, but researchers familiar with the specific techniques and even laboratory materials described in the papers under consideration. The transition from the editorial board model to the peer review model was eased by technological advances, like the Xerox copier in 1959, that reduced the hassles of sending manuscripts to experts scattered around the globe. There remained holdouts for a while—as Burnham notes, theTennessee Medical Association Journal operated without peer review under one strong editor until 1971—but all major scientific and medical journals have relied on peer review for decades.
Perhaps the most powerful criticism of peer review is that it fails to achieve its core objective: quality control. Shatz describes a study in which "investigators deliberately inserted errors into a manuscript, and referees did a poor job of detecting them." And critics of peer review need look no further than recent high-profile papers that turned out to be hoaxes—like the massive case of scientific fraud perpetrated by South Korean stem cell researcher Hwang Woo Suk in Science. Of course, no one should expect a perfect system, or condemn peer review as a whole for its occasional failures. Back in 2003, the editors of Nature Immunology lamented "the expectation in the popular press that peer review is a process by which fraudulent data is detected before publication." Peer reviewers, they argued, cannot be expected "to ferret out cleverly concealed, deliberate deceptions." But even granting this truth, the question remains: Is peer review the best process for promoting the highest quality science?
Another new open-access journal is likely to have an even bigger impact on the scientific community. The Public Library of Science will be launching its seventh journal in November 2006, called PLoS ONE. In an implicit challenge to Nature and Science, PLoS ONE will be the first of the group's journals to publish articles in all areas of science and medicine. Articles published in the new journal will undergo peer review, but some of the standard criteria that older journals use to screen out articles—like "degree of advance" or "interest to a general reader"—won't be used by PLoS ONE reviewers; all papers of scientific merit will be posted to the public record. Only weeks (not months) will go by before a submitted article is published, since instead of coming out periodically issue-by-issue, PLoS ONE will be in a state of continuous publication. A more public review process will continue after publication, as readers will be able to rate, annotate, and comment on papers, and authors can respond to their comments. The original paper will remain as such, but comments, revisions, and updates will orbit nearby, an electronic Talmud on every article of significance.
The second major development is that traditional peer review is under reconsideration even within the heart of establishment scientific publishing. This summer, the journal Nature is experimenting with a similar system of public review. Although the journal's articles will continue to go through the standard closed peer review process, a public version of peer review will be working in parallel: certain submissions will be posted online to solicit reader feedback, in hopes that experts will voluntarily review the articles. If this experiment shows that posted "pre-prints" receive enough attention online,Nature will apparently consider altering its traditional peer review practices. The journal is meanwhile sponsoring an ongoing online debate about peer review, with articles about the pros, cons, and future of refereeing.
What all the fuss was about: the paper is now on-line!
At the beginning of 2009 Clive Spash wrote a paper, The Brave New World of Carbon Trading, that was critical of carbon emissions trading schemes and argued redesign would not address the concerns raised. He was employed at the time by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization (CSIRO), which endeavoured to prevent the paper from being published even in his capacity as a private citizen. The paper had been both internally and internationally peer reviewed, and was accepted for publication by New Political Economy, when CSIRO management first decided to prevent publication. After several months the issue became public and was the subject of debate in the Australian Senate. The CSIRO was forced to release the paper but first attempted to subject the work to serious alterations, to which Clive was asked to assent without making any changes. He felt that he could not agree. The journal New Political Economy also wrote to Senator Carr stating the changes made were so substantive that the paper was no longer equivalent to that which they had accepted for publication earlier that year. After six months attempting to seek due process there remained no internal recognition within management of any failure on their part or any breach of acceptable scientific practice. Despite considerable support from his colleagues Clive felt that he could no longer work within an organisation being run with such an approach to management and where arbitrary judgment over political sensitivities are employed to alter or ban research findings. He resigned his position.

Method Man – "2 Minutes Of Your Time"
blame it on Meka August 19, 2015
This is the Method Man I've been longing to resurface again.
After his last album, 4:21… The Day After, in 2006, I'd felt that Method was content with dropping albums at his leisure since he's achieved a good deal of success in Hollywood. Then he decided he wants to drop a new album, The Meth Lab, on August 21st. Not only that, he's cranked out a myriad of bangers – "The Purple Tape," "Straight Gutta," and the album's title track among others – which has not only caught my attention but has me excited for his album to release.
But the proverbial cherry on top is this latest banger. Johnny Blaze just lets off two straight minutes of verbal heat over some of the grittiest sounds I've come across this week. You may want to crush your play button for this song below.

Long periods in damp and wet conditions left soldiers susceptible to trench foot. The worst cases led to amputation. Photo: LAC.
The Great War revolutionized medicine, as doctors, nurses and physiotherapists struggled to save lives and make shattered men whole.
When enlisting for the Great War, most men were worried about passing their medical examination to travel overseas. Fewer were concerned about the diseases and other afflictions they might face while serving in the trenches.
It fell upon Canada's fledgling military medical personnel to keep the soldiers whole and in fighting shape.
Indeed, medical knowledge grew by leaps and bounds during the war as doctors, nurses and physiotherapists honed their crafts, inventing and improving medical techniques and treatments for wounded patients.
The Canadian Army Medical Corps was responsible for providing health care to troops during the war. Founded in 1904, the Medical Corps included doctors, nurses and stretcher-bearers, as well as physiotherapists who helped rehabilitate wounded or injured soldiers. All told, more than twenty-one thousand Canadian men and women served in the Corps between 1914 and 1918.
Most wounds were caused by either gunshots or shrapnel from artillery barrages. The wounds inflicted by shrapnel were particularly horrendous, often leaving gaping jagged holes in soldiers bodies.
However, soldiers also faced microscopic threats that were just as deadly. Disease and bacterial infections were common. Among the more prevalent illness were typhoid and tetanus, which proliferated in the muddy and germ ridden trenches. The rise in infections forced nations to improve vaccinations and other disease treatments. Indeed, Canada became a leading producer of tetanus vaccinations during the war thanks to research and development conducted at the University of Toronto.
For women, the Medical Corps offered them a way to get close to the front at a time when women were banned from serving as soldiers. In total, 3,141 women served as nursing sisters, often at casualty clearing stations near the front.
For all medical personnel, the war was a challenge. Rookies had to quickly come to grips with the devastating human carnage they witnessed in operating rooms or medical wards.
On the home front, advances in medical treatment at the front meant more wounded and disabled veterans survived to return home in need of further care.
One condition that gained prominence during the war was shell shock. Those who suffered from it often experienced uncontrollable tremors and tics. Some were catatonic, while others would scream and shake for hours on end. But, because the illness was mental, not physical, many soldiers with shell shock were mocked and derided as cowards by their colleagues and superiors.
When it comes to the number of dead and wounded, 66,000 slain Canadians and another 140,000 wounded seems incredibly high. However, the death toll would have been much greater if not for the dedicated and compassionate care provided by the members of the Medical Corps.

One of my Whole30 meal prep staples: sweet potato buns! I love my lettuce wraps, but sometimes you need something a little heartier and more filling. I use sweet potato buns in those instances. They are perfect for sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches and burgers. Basically anything you would have put on a bun before your grain free, paleo, whole30 life. When I posted these on Instagram I never expected I would get the response that I did. SO many people wanted to make them! And some people even thought I was eating a sandwich between two blocks of cheddar cheese. I am definitely not doing that. Follow my simple recipe here to start making some sweet potato buns!
Lots of questions on Instagram about how these sweet potato buns stay together. I have had no problem having these stay together as I eat them because of my trusty sidekick parchment paper. I always wrap all of my sandwiches (no matter which kind of bun I'm using) with some parchment paper to give them better hold. You can see in the video below exactly how I wrap it up with the help of the parchment. Another tool I use in the video below is a basting brush. I use this to make sure that I am getting an even coat of avocado oil onto each bun. Not enough oil and it will be dry, but too much oil and it will be soggy. The salt that I have been using lately is Redmonds Real Salt and it adds incredible flavor while cooking and is loading with nutrients that iodized table salt is missing.
Some other tips for making the most perfect sweet potato buns ever are use your sharpest knife! Sweet potatoes can be very tricky to cut through from raw. You can even see me struggle a little in the video. If you can't cut through it or you don't have a sharp knife, you can microwave the sweet potato for a little like 30 seconds to soften it slightly and make it easier to cut through. As you can see I like thick sweet potato buns because I want this to be a filling and satisfying meal. If you would prefer thinner buns just slice the sweet potato thinner and adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Massive skill shortages in WA's rail construction industry
Posted: 12th Jul
Five years ago, Metronet was the pipe dream of a West Australian Opposition keen to present itself as a visionary alternative government.
Today, as the McGowan Government prepares to issue tenders for two Metronet projects — and keeps a tight rein on spending in other portfolios — the proposed rail network is the cornerstone of its policies.
The first stage of the project — $4.75 billion in works — includes almost 72 kilometres of new rail line, as well as the Forrestfield-Airport rail link.
But as the project gains momentum, questions are being raised about whether WA has enough workers with the right skills for the mammoth task ahead.
Stiff competition for workers
The scale of rail developments planned across Australia's capital cities is immense.
Nationally, there are 10 major rail projects, either proposed or under construction, valued at $1 billion or more.
The largest of these, Sydney Metro, will be a $20 billion-plus investment in more than 66 kilometres of new rail line.
Sydney is also building two light rail lines — one in the CBD/South East and the other in Parramatta — which will add another $2 billion of construction work.
There are also major works underway in Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra, in addition to regional rail upgrades and the $10 billion Inland Rail from Melbourne to Brisbane.
WA will struggle to attract 'rail talent'
Each of these projects poses competition for Metronet, which at its peak is expected to need more than 3,000 workers.
"We simply are going to struggle to attract the rail talent and the civil infrastructure talent generally — civil project managers, designers and engineers — to Western Australia," Chris Kent, state regional director of Hays Recruitment, said.
During the mining construction boom, WA drew hordes of interstate and overseas workers to highly-paid jobs in the Pilbara, but Mr Kent cautioned that was unlikely to be repeated.
"The east coast was really struggling [at that time]. We were able to take all of the good people out of Melbourne and Sydney," he said.
"We got a lot of people from the UK and this time around it's a little bit different, we've got a lot more competition."
Figures from employment website Seek show job advertisements for rail workers in WA have been rising for the past two years.
In the 12 months to June, rail jobs grew by a whopping 43 per cent.
Skills shortage to create pricing pressure
For Rail Systems Australia, the signs of a pending skills shortage have already emerged.
Eighteen months ago, the company — which specialises in rail signals and telecommunications design — set up its headquarters in Perth, as a subsidiary of Titan ICT Consultants.
Managing director Tom Warner said it was challenging to attract and retain workers in WA, given the strong competition for labour from interstate.
"There is a competition for salary, a competition for people. I think, as a consequence, it'll have an impact on pricing and costs here in WA," Mr Warner said.
"We're lucky in our skill sets and our disciplines that we can transfer across different sectors, so the mining and oil and gas sector.
"Some of our engineers are equally capable in the rail sector, so that's a plus for us."
Skilled workers to be lured back
But not everyone in the rail industry believes there will be a major labour squeeze.
Chris Chalwell is the executive chairman of Railtrain, the parent company of rail maintenance and construction services provider RMC Rail.
He predicts there will be a flight back to rail from other industries, as latent labour within the WA economy is soaked up.
"I think people are forgetting that there are many, many highly skilled or skilled rail employees doing other things now," he said.
"A lot of these employees were there building the Pilbara and other areas only five to seven years ago.
"We'll be able to retrain those people, bring them back from driving the trucks back into rail."
Bulk contracts to target squeeze
Despite these assurances from industry, the WA Government says it is adopting "creative procurement approaches" to thwart any labour shortage.
For instance, two Metronet projects — the Thornlie-Cockburn Link and Yanchep Rail Extension — will be put out to tender as one package of work.
The aim, according to the Government, is to create sufficient scale to attract specialist workers and ensure the construction jobs are retained over a number of years.
Within the rail industry, companies are taking matters into their own hands, with Rail Systems Australia launching a graduate program.
"That's a key for the next five years, to be able to build-up the quality people to be able to support us and grow together," Mr Warner said.
And while migration laws have changed since the iron ore construction boom, offshore workers may also be targeted.
"Obviously there's some quality people [overseas] and depending on the specific skill sets needed for the projects, I expect there'll be a need to bring some of those resources across as well," Mr Warner said.
"[These skills] are in high demand around the world, so it's going to be a challenge for everyone."
Construction tenders for the Thornlie-Cockburn Link and Yanchep Rail Extension will be released in the coming weeks, with short-listing due to be completed by the end of the year.

Texas Education Agency starts contracting process for special education overhaul
The Texas Education Agency is now soliciting applications for more than $20 million in grants to help school districts overhaul special education after a federal investigation found it had effectively denied students with disabilities needed services.
by Aliyya Swaby July 9, 2018 7 PM
Texas Education Agency officials Penny Schwinn and Justin Porter listen to testimony at a hearing on special education in Richardson on April 16, 2018. Leslie Boorhem-Stephenson for The Texas Tribune
The Texas Education Agency is starting the search for organizations to help school districts overhaul special education following a federal finding that the state had effectively denied students with disabilities access to needed services.
Agency officials Monday put out a call for applications for more than $20 million in grants, with applicants limited to Texas universities and the 20 state education centers set up to assist school districts. The TEA had included many of the action items in a strategic plan it submitted to the federal government in April detailing how it would ensure students with special needs were being educated.
After a long investigation, the federal government concluded earlier this year that the state was effectively incentivizing school districts to keep their special education numbers low, causing Texas to provide special education services to a small percentage of students compared to other states.
Each of the year-long grants, across 12 major categories, will be funded through discretionary federal funds provided to states for special education, implemented either in the 2018-19 or 2019-20 academic years. While the TEA has made it clear it cannot do much more without additional state or federal funding, school administrators have argued the state's plan is an unfunded mandate and would require they make cuts in other crucial areas of their budgets.
Several of the contracts will go to organizations that can help schools educate some of the most vulnerable and neglected students with special needs, including those with cognitive disabilities, those who are deaf or blind, those with autism and those who are in small school districts with limited resources. Another is intended to help school districts train staff to evaluate which students are in need of federally funded special education services. The federal government found that many educators misunderstood the legal requirements around educating students with disabilities.
The TEA tried and failed to address some of these issues last year when it awarded a contract to overhaul special education to a relatively young, private company without letting others bid for the task. When parents of students with disabilities argued the contract was unfairly bid and would not help their students, the agency terminated it, losing $2.2 million in federal funding.
In new plan, Texas Education Agency vows special education overhaul with limited dollars
Texas denied thousands of students special ed services. Does the policy go back to George W. Bush's presidency?

ITUC Online – What Do We Want in Cancun? Just Transition NOW!
Ethical Markets November 22, 2010 Green Prosperity
Brussels, 22 November 2010 (ITUC OnLine): In less than a week, negotiations around climate change will recommence, aiming at reviving the shaky flame left by the disappointing meeting in Copenhagen last year.
"Climate change remains an overriding priority for all our futures; we cannot afford to let pessimism prevail", said Sharan Burrow, the General Secretary of the ITUC. "While the conditions for a binding climate agreement still seem far from being met, governments in Cancun have the opportunity to establish the basis for a new consensus on vital issues such as agreeing on common rules for measuring emissions and identifying innovative sources of long term finance such as a financial transactions tax".
On the labour front, this 16th Conference of the Parties (COP 16) is a unique opportunity to move social justice proposals forward. More than two hundred trade unionists from developed and developing countries will be taking part in COP16 and actively promoting an ambitious and binding agreement which guarantees a Just Transition for workers. Trade unions have concrete and practical propositions and will voice their concerns for urgent government action.
"The outcome of Cancun needs to guarantee the protection of the most vulnerable communities and workers of the world. All countries have to act, but this must start with ambitious emission reduction and financing commitments from the developed world" commented Burrow. "However, that is not enough. A decision confirming that workers and their unions will be a full part of the transformation of our societies should already be made in Cancun, giving trade unions a clear mandate to work for the implementation of Just Transition at the national level". Just Transition is mentioned in the Cancun negotiating text but it needs to be mainstreamed and governments must start putting it into practice.
In Cancun, trade unions will present initiatives aimed at "greening the economy", at the World of Work pavilion (2nd and 7th December).
"There is no time to be lost. Tackling climate change can have widespread social benefits if it is done now, by creating decent jobs and reinvigorating industries while reducing their carbon footprints", concluded Burrow.

This Isn't LA, Justin Bieber. We Have Rules Here.
This Isn't Los Angeles, Justin Bieber. We Have Rules Here.
The newly engaged king of dressing like a sleazeball has erroneously introduced his prolific hoodie-wearing into NYC's August heat wave.

WYD, JB?

Oh, Justin. Sweet, beautiful, newly engaged and always on-trend adult Justin.
Before we begin, I must say, and I truly mean this: I fancy myself a Belieber. But dude, when this photo was taken (Yesterday, August 6) it was a muggy 91 degrees Fahrenheit in New York City. And although your hoodie and track pants look is indeed fire—you've unnecessarily raised your own "feels like" temp into triple digits.
This is quite literally not chill.
I will give you this. You've been thriving in the Summer of Sleaze—a term coined by Esquire Senior Style Editor Jonathan Evans to describe the influx of admirable summer '18 fits that scream both "I miss Four Pins," and "I will be using only my dirty hands to pick at this graduation party charcuterie."
Looking like a scumbag has never been more on-trend, and sir, you've been looking like a stylish scumbag well before MoMA PS1 Warm-Up parties were filled with them. I'm a fan of your wispy-but-unignorable mustache and generally disinterested facial expressions, but I'm not a fan of you bringing that winter-clothes-in-summer L.A. bullshit to my city*.
I know on the left coast, all the scumbags have been (as Complex once eloquently stated) "rocking beanies in the summertime like chumps" for years now. And I know that sentiment has extended to long sleeves and pants, too. But here in New York, when an air conditioner drips and the liquid miraculously misses our mouths, we'd prefer it to hit some skin and provide us with a little cool down. You can't accomplish that in your UNKNWN Arch hoodie (on sale for just $65 right here!).
Check the Rubik's cube. The man's a genius otherwise.
James Devaney
I think I'd be willing to let this go without comment had you not done this twice in three days. The above photo, from August 4, was the first sign of a necessary intervention. But as temperatures remained in the 90s, you went ahead and doubled down putting up your dang hood. Have you learned nothing from your appropriately dressed fiancée Hailey Baldwin? (She's wearing AMEN.)
My only comfort came today, August 7, when you decided to sport a much more NYC-friendly sleaze 'fit, featuring an absence of shirt, visible underwear, and basketball shorts. This is what I, myself, wear to the bodegas on Sundays around 2:30 p.m. to procure my breakfast. Par for the course for a north-Brooklyn scumbag like myself.

Listen, JB. I'm thrilled you and HB are spending some time in the city. I was so excited to see you spotted at Frankel's Deli in my neighborhood that I then went to Frankel's Deli in my neighborhood. But in New York City, we have rules. One of them is that in the summer we all sweat profusely and unapologetically. Another is that we reserve the right to ridicule all Los Angeles specimens who dare bring their inappropriate warm-weather dress into our heat-stroke-waiting-to-happen of a concrete jungle.
Do better, next time! I just want to love you, man.

Sailors and Traders by Book Resume:
Written by a senior scholar and master mariner, Sailors and Traders is the first comprehensive account of the maritime peoples of the Pacific. It focuses on the sailors who led the exploration and settlement of the islands and New Zealand and their seagoing descendants, providing along the way new material and unique observations on traditional and commercial seagoing against the background of major periods in Pacific history. The book begins by detailing the traditions of sailors, a group whose way of life sets them apart. Like all others who live and work at sea, Pacific mariners face the challenges of an often harsh environment, endure separation from their families for months at a time, revere their vessels, and share a singular attitude to risk and death. The period of prehistoric seafaring is discussed using archaeological data, interpretations from interisland exchanges, experimental voyaging, and recent DNA analysis. Sections on the arrival of foreign exploring ships centuries later concentrate on relations between visiting sailors and maritime communities. The more intrusive influx of commercial trading and whaling ships brought new technology, weapons, and differences in the ethics of trade. The successes and failures of Polynesian chiefs who entered trading with European-type ships are recounted as neglected aspects of Pacific history. As foreign-owned commercial ships expanded in the region so did colonialism, which was accompanied by an increase in the number of sailors from metropolitan countries and a decrease in the employment of Pacific islanders on foreign ships. Eventually small-scale island entrepreneurs expanded interisland shipping, and in 1978 the regional Pacific Forum Line was created by newly independent states. This was welcomed as a symbolic return to indigenous Pacific ocean linkages. The book s final sections detail the life of the modern Pacific seafarer. Most Pacific sailors in the global maritime labor market return home after many months at sea, bringing money, goods, a wider perspective of the world, and sometimes new diseases. Each of these impacts is analyzed, particularly in the case of Kiribati, a major supplier of labor to foreign ships. "

Elizabeth Warren's Inability to Discuss Race and Black People is a Big Problem
I agree with some of this and the comments below.
The reality is that Warren cannot understand racism the same way that people of color — and in particular black people — can understand it. She's privileged as a white person, and regardless of how hard she tries, she will be at some remove from the experience because she is white.
Why not just elect people with a full range of understanding? A black woman would understand racism first hand, in addition to gender issues. How about Stacy Abrams?
I believe this is because, subconsciously, most people can only see whites as leaders. Thus, POC are stuck with 'best case scenario' choices as opposed to actual strong ones.
Warren is a good choice compared to other white candidates who will never understand true racism because they are privileged with whiteness. But compared to a strong black female candidate, she won't quite get it.
We are still waiting for these actual strong candidates. Warren may represent the best we can do when we only have whites to choose from, but given a choice of people with the actual experience, virtually ANY POC would understand better.
This explains why white people are so eager to make sure nobody else is in the running at a real level, whether they be conservative or liberal. All POC have the potential to understand the core problem in the US: the invention of racism, in a way that whites do not.
To make a strong leadership decision, then, would be to elect a POC, and in particular a black woman, because she has a wide range of social experiences including derogation on the basis of race.
I believe POC accept candidates like Warren somewhat grudgingly: we can still do better, ie, somebody who has to deal with real racism every minute because we are forced to as a result of profound white privileging. But we have no choice, because long-standing white privilege nearly guarantees their success while simultaneously oppressing the rest of us.


Point: If Kim Davis is jailed then every conscientious objector that wished to leave the military based on spiritual convictions should also be jailed instead of discharged.
I am dumbfounded how little the "Liberty Movement" knows about liberty. To all the "liberty activists" out there that took to social media applauding the arrest of Kim Davis by federal marshals you make me sick. It is obvious that your liberty education is nothing more than opinions about liberty rather than you being truly willing to stand up for actual time tested liberty principles.
The Kim Davis ruling demonstrates that nobody in this movement understands the importance of jurisdictional authority in the least which is by far one of the most fundamental, foundational of all natural law principles. I would venture to say very few as evidenced by the number of people celebrating the jailing of Kim Davis who claim to side with liberty.
Ask yourself, when has it ever been okay for the government to jail people on the basis of their deeply held religious convictions? It is not, it never has been and God help us if it ever becomes the de facto standard in this country. If government has authority over the inner space of our hearts then it has become a full on tyranny, rendering unto itself god like powers to enforce a standard of morality on its people. This jailing is so over the top, that anyone with eyes for liberty should be up and arms regardless of your personal beliefs about marriage. By this standard every conscientious objector that left the military based on spiritual convictions should also be jailed. It is the same thing. The government has no authority over peoples convictions and must allow space for those in its employee to object to things they don't feel in good conscience they can do. That is a foundational principle of liberty right there. Kim Davis is not forcing her religious convictions on other people through the force of government, the government is forcing her to give her convictions up or go to jail.
This Kim Davis marriage debacle is because the government has overstepped its jurisdictional boundaries in everything it should not have. The government has no authority over a man, a family, a church or even society least they personally endanger someone and must step in to protect innocent life or property from harm. We are free because we are allowed to follow the dictates of our heart without fear of repercussion. But because we have no concept of this fact the people have allowed government to encroach into families, their marriage, the church, private business etc, etc. All of these things are universally accepted as forbidden by government to do. Kim Davis should not even have forms in her office officiating over marriage period. If she wants to make a statement about marriage she should tear up those forms and throw them into a waste basket.
This marriage business that is dividing the country is because government has made an exclusively religious ceremony their business. Marriage is an agreement between a man and woman, a spiritual union and has historically been that way for thousands of years under the sole jurisdiction of the church. Government is not a spiritual entity nor should it ever be and I think everyone on both sides of the fence should agree to that unless you want to live under a theocratic tyranny in short order. Nor should we be living in a society that punishes people for their religious convictions no matter how crazy they may seem, did they hurt anyone? No then move along!
Government turning a religious ceremony into a government sacrament that they can then dole out special rights and punishments with is an absolute atrocity to everything this country stands for and I expect the so called "Liberty Movement" to recognize that and stand up for what is right. Which is decrying this judge, this gay couple and demanding she is let out of jail. I can see this gay couple celebrating "yay we won!" no you lost, using government to force your deeply held convictions on another is a net loss for the country.
Every authority under the Constitution is limited, and the first amendment makes it clear that no appointed government official can make any laws respecting religion. SO how is gay marriage an enforceable law when the Bill of Rights says it can't make any laws in respects to religion? Without question marriage resides under the heading of a spiritual institution and is off limits for government involvement. The whole thing is upside down and backwards and demonstrates how far removed we are from our Constitutional moorings and understanding in this country. This lack of understanding and willful disregard and ignorance of our Constitution is at the heart of the issue here. The elite love it because they can pit freeman against freeman in a dialectic of control.
It will never cease to amaze me how proponents of Liberty who are anti-fed to the core will all of sudden jump on the federal bandwagon if it means subjecting someone they don't agree with to government force. No wonder this movement is a joke, they are secretly selective authoritarian when confronted with their own personal biases instead of standing for principles that protect everyone from government evil. We need to wise up and fast this game is getting seriously nasty and no one will come out a winner in the end.

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta supports more than 55 fish species and more than 750 plant and wildlife species.
Over times, the home of these species-the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem-has been impacted for many decades by human activities, such as gold mining, flood protection and land reclamation. Along the way, more than 200 exotic species have been intentionally or accidentally introduced.
Today, there are urban and agricultural contaminants throughout the system and water project operations have altered the natural amount, duration, direction and timing of water flows.
Commercial fisheries also were founded throughout the Bay and Delta for smelt, sole, flounder, sardine, herring and anchovy. There were little controls on these fisheries, and in time, over-fishing contributed to declines in native species. Fishing interest groups also intentionally introduced fish species from outside the Delta were intentionally to help support commercial and recreational fishing. In some instances, these foreign fish were preyed upon by the species native to the Delta.
These factors have taken their toll on the estuary's fish and wildlife.
In late 2004, for example, scientific studies showed that the Delta's pelagic organisms (those that swim or float freely in open waters) were declining. This was particularly the case for fish, though in the past zooplankton and shrimp populations have crashed as well.
More alarming, scientists determined a long-term decline for several species, including dramatic changes between 2002 and 2004 for young striped bass and the Delta smelt—3-inch fish found only in the Delta.
In one example, the Delta smelt fish has also become the center of ongoing tussle among water experts regarding its fate. Already, the smelt is considered especially vulnerable because it lives just one year, has a limited diet, and exists primarily in brackish water.
But the smelt's tendency to swim near the State Water Project and Central Valley Project export pumps in the South Delta has complicated water deliveries to farmers and cities. At the same time, the Delta smelt was uplisted to an endangered listing by the state in 2009.
Today, about 100 Delta wildlife species, 140 plant species and 13 species of fish are considered "special status" – meaning species that have some form of legal or regulatory protection by federal or state agencies.
In one example of the changing status of certain species, Chinook salmon runs in the Sacramento and San Joaquin river basins once numbered in the millions.
Four runs of Chinook salmon are now found in the Sacramento River, characterized by the time of year they pass under the Golden Gate Bridge on their upstream journey through the Delta to spawn. Most attention has been focused on the winter-run Chinook salmon, which is an endangered species, and the spring-run, which is a threatened species. The winter-run population reached a low point in 2007 and 2008, but efforts to improve conditions have resulted in a population upswing.
Meanwhile, scientists say the low numbers of fish species are not surprising, particularly because of human activities, drought and pumping operations [see also Delta Litigation]. For example, numbers show that since the big Delta export pumps started operating, the numbers for fish have fallen dramatically.
Scientists stress that export pumping restrictions are meant only to reduce the pumping operations (since no take is allowed of a listed species without a permit) and to help prevent the fish from being driven to extinction. While such steps can help the decline of some species, they do not directly facilitate fish recovery [See also Bay Delta Conservation Plan].
Scientists also note it is difficult to clearly quantify the effects of water management actions on survival and recovery of endangered juvenile salmon populations and other species.
With a clearer picture of the precarious state of Delta fish and wildlife is emerging, water experts also say more research and analysis is essential.

Mexi-Vocabulario: ¡No Manches! - Fueled by chile, frijoles & tortillas.
Literally, as in: Don't Stain.
But that doesn't make any sense, of course.
Instead let's think about this word in the practical form.
When you make somebody mad because your bad decision is affecting them, they might tell you: ¡No Manches!
When you're lying and pretty much everyone knows you're lying. ¡No Manches!
When you take advantage of another for whatever reason. ¡No Manches!
Yup, it's not a very positive phrase you want to be addressed to you very often, if at all.
According to our friends at the Urban Dictionary, there are three Mexican idioms that fit the bill for the definition of this word: 1) Stop kidding around. 2) Don't jerk my chain. 3) No way or whatever.
I'd say it can also have some pretty aggressive and much uglier meanings in Spanish, but I'll let you figure out what those are on your own.
Have you ever used this word?
What was your interpretation of it if you have?
Thinking through it, no manches has to refer to streaking one's underwear. In other words, quit $#!++ing me.

NASA Tests 'Orion' Capsule With a Splash
On Thursday, NASA's Orion Spacecraft live-streamed a water drop test of its crew capsule at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
The test was the ninth of ten tests implemented to perfect the design of the module that is set to send the first crewed flight to Mars in 2023.
After each test, engineers at Lockheed Martin measure the impact of the load on crash-test dummies inside the spacecraft and alter the altitude of the vehicle according.
Orion comes equipped with an impact attenuation system that adjusts for each crew member's body weight. Because the Orion will be taking crews much further into space than previous models, engineers had to account for the effects of space "deconditioning" on an astronaut's body's ability to handle impact.
While similar to the Apollo model in shape and size, the Orion is far more technologically advanced. The side orientation of the capsule comes from the real-life design scenario of how to best land the shuttle if one parachute was lost. The forces that hit a spacecraft at splashdown determine the design of more than half of its structure, according to project chief engineer Jim Corliss.
Orion will also uniquely sport a glass cockpit with digital control systems. The capsule will be compatible with the "autodocking" features of the International Space Station.
According to NASA, the Orion capsule would hit the water around 17 miles per hour under ideal conditions. Thursday's test of the 7.2 ton mockup hit at 20 miles per hour.
The next unmanned Orion craft is set to deploy in 2018.

Dressed in cut off shorts, t-shirt and jumper, big sunglasses and blonde pixie hair that I ran my fingers through before leaving home. I Embrace my inner lizard and climb the wooden rail and take up a spot on a sandstone rock to soak up and enjoy the little bit of warmth the winter sun provides, while my family surfsin the ocean below. All the surfers and body boarders look the same in with their black wetsuits and white boards. I am nervous with my boy's out there in the expanse of ocean, but they love it. They don't care about the size, temperature or being the small, amateurs amongst the adult locals.
A woman in her late teens dressed in cut off shorts exposing a leg tattoo that skims her knee, long hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun, a jumper with bikini straps hanging out the top, her little boy on her right hip and her left arm full of towels and bags followed her partner carrying a surf board down the wooden steps to the sand. She sets her load down on the sand, strips off her jumper, and starts unloading a bag with a hat and board shorts for her little one. Her little guy starts walking in the car tracks lining the beach.
A few minutes later in between a stream of surfers and body boarders, another family walked past me baking on my piece of sandstone rock.
A woman in her late twenties dressed in jeans, shoes and socks, jumper, scarf and a backpack. Her partner behind her with a little boy and surf board in one arm and towels and a bag in the other. The lady shakes out a towel and has a seat. The partner sets down the little boy, towels and bag. Arranges a towel for the little boy, grabs his surfboard and runs into the surf. The Mumma pulls out a phone and an Ipad, she hands the Ipad to the little boy and starts tapping on her phone.
As I watch the ocean and try to identify my family, little boy one runs to the edge of the water and plays tag with the waves, I can hear his belly laughs as the waves almost touch his bare feet. Next to him his Mum writes with a stick in the wet sand.
My husband catches a great little wave and flings himself into the water as the wave ends. I know that it's him from the colour of his wetsuit and the way that his foot sticks up as he duck dives.
Little boy two runs to copy little boy one, his mum puts down her phone, picks up little boy two places him back on the towel with the Ipad and dusts off his shoes.
My littlest boy comes out of the ocean, with a slight purple hue about him. I peel myself off my rock and meet him at the stairs. He is frozen and can barely speak, but tells me he had heaps of fun and runs to the car to get changed.
As I try and find my other boy in the crowd of surfers, little boy one races away up the beach with his mumma pretending to chase him. Little boy two hasn't lifted his head from the Ipad screen. My littlest one comes up behind me and puts his freezing cold hands over my face and laughs his little head off.


Written for percussion ensemble and solo flute, Clockwork by Stuart P. O'Neil plays on the timbral characteristics found in different types of clocks. Held together by the steady tick-tock of the temple blocks, the piece blends an original flute theme with two iconic clock chimes. This medium-easy arrangement concludes with overlapping ostinati at the players' independent tempi. The effect—imagine being in a clock shop at the top of an hour—is a great opportunity to share a more contemporary compositional device with your ensemble.
A simple, but effective piece of slightly over two minutes, "Clockwork" provides the opportunity to feature an intermediate flute soloist with a beginning percussion ensemble. The individual parts are basic and repetitive, in ABA form, and requiring no more than two mallets each. The only timpani challenge is pedaling one drum between B-flat, C, B-flat, and A-flat. The title derives from a "tick-tock" motive in the temple blocks, quotes of the "Westminster Chimes" and "Whittington Chimes," a cuckoo from the flute, and a surprise ending with the various parts going their own way and winding down by the stroke of 12.
A cute, medium-easy percussion quartet in which players are assigned specific animal names to help define musical character.
Arranged for mallet septet, Brian Slawson's arrangement is a great way for percussion ensembles to bring some of Mozart's mastery to life in a new way.
A medium percussion ensemble piece perfect for the holidays!

Emotional Contagion: Are Your Feelings 'Infecting' Others?
Ever noticed that you feel happy around happy people and sad around sad or depressed people? This is known as "emotional contagion" and is facilitated by an interconnected network of cells in the brain.

Ever noticed that you feel happy around happy people and sad around sad or depressed people, or even agitated around anxious people?
Research shows that if you spend enough time with people, their emotions will actually rub off on you.
This is known as "emotional contagion" and is facilitated by an interconnected network of cells in the brain that make up the Mirror Neuron System (MNS).
The MNS is a bit like a high-definition camera that observes and records every detail of people's facial expressions, body language, pupil movements and even vocal tones. So if you're hanging out with someone who is happy, and their happiness is written all over their face, so to speak, your MNS will record their displays of happiness but it will also signal the same displays in you.
For instance, we know that happy people tend to smile a lot. In their presence, your MNS will record activity in the two major smile muscles: the ones that pull your lips upwards (zygomaticus major) and the ones that crease the sides of your eyes (orbicularis oculi). They will then signal your own smile muscles so that you will find yourself smiling more. But that's not all that happens.
The MNS also contains emotional areas of the brain. Some of these are signaled, too, helping to mirror, in you, the emotional state of the happy person.
What can we take from this? Well, if you want to be happier, you wouldn't go far wrong by hanging out with happy people.
Depression is just as contagious as happiness. Should we then avoid people who are depressed? I don't think so. We should help people who are depressed. Anyone who has ever been depressed, and I am a past member of that club, wants to feel loved and cared for, not avoided like they have the plague.
My personal experience is that there is little risk of "catching" depression if you are compassionate to their feelings and are aware of emotional contagion. The compassion allows you to sense how the person feels, to empathize and appreciate their pain, so that they feel listened to. Then, after a while, you can try to "infect" them with your positive mood.
You don't need to try to feel positive. Just recognize that your body language and facial expressions reflect mood, so use these as tools to raise the mood of both of you. Lift your shoulders back, breathe deeply and easily and smile if you can. With any luck, their MNS will be able to mirror you and, at least a little, move them closer to your emotional state, offering them some momentary relief from the pain they feel.
Emotional contagion has been with the human species for a very long time. It helped our ancestors understand each other in a time before language, where they could recognize fear, for instance, by having the same feelings induced in them, thus helping them survive potential danger.
It is present in us from birth. One crying infant will set off a wave of crying in a hospital ward. Studies also show that infants and children mirror the facial expressions of the primary caregiver, suggesting that they feel the same emotions, too, or at least their nervous system is reacting to the emotions of the caregiver.
So the answer to the question, "Are your emotions contagious?" is almost certainly yes. Spend time with happy people if you want to feel happier, and help to raise the spirits of people who feel sad. And if you do feel happy, spread some good cheer around you.
That's how I see we can apply this new knowledge.

When Toronto filmmaker Clement Virgo first heard about Lawrence Hill's 2007 novel The Book of Negroes, he had no desire to read the book.
"I had a personal aversion to the title," he confessed at a press conference on Nov. 17 for the Canadian premiere of the novel's miniseries adaptation, which will air on CBC TV in six parts starting Jan. 7. Under pressure from jazz singer Molly Johnson, Virgo bought a copy of the book, but says it sat on his coffee table unopened for two months. When he finally picked it up, he immediately "fell in love" with the story and its protagonist, Aminata Diallo, an African woman who is sold into slavery in the southern U.S. before making her escape and joining the Black Loyalist community in Nova Scotia.
Virgo pitched a screen adaptation of The Book of Negroes to his partner, producer Damon D'Oliveira. In 2009, their production company, Conquering Lion Pictures, acquired rights from Hill, who was brought on to co-write the screenplay with Virgo, an experience Hill called both "exciting" and a "lesson in brevity." (The two also alluded to future writing partnerships.) Originally conceived as a feature film, the international co-production was eventually shifted to a miniseries format for funding reasons, and to "serve the form better," said D'Oliveira.
The project, which stars Aunjanue Ellis (The Help, The Mentalist) as Aminata, attracted Academy Award–winning actors Cuba Gooding Jr. and Lou Gossett Jr., who said taking the role of spiritual leader Daddy Moses was a "no brainer," comparing The Book of Negroes to the iconic 1977 miniseries Roots, for which he received an Emmy Award.
But now, thanks to the miniseries, which is airing in the U.S. on the BET network as The Book of Negroes, WW Norton is releasing a new edition of the book with its original title. (On Dec. 9, HarperCollins Canada will also release its own tie-in edition.) There are also plans for online and classroom outreach, which Virgo hopes will educate the public on this overlooked piece of Canadian-American-African history.
*Correction, Nov. 20: An earlier version of this post stated that HarperCollins was Lawrence's U.S. publisher.
