Coronavirus Deaths Outside China Spike As WHO Team Visits Wuhan
Home Financial news Coronavirus Deaths Outside China Spike As WHO Team Visits Wuhan
Via Zerohedge
Italy confirms second death, 12 towns on lockdown, more than 30 cases confirmed
Japan cases triple in a week to 121
Chinese scientists find virus in urine
Experts propose 27 day quarantine, say 14 days likely not long enough
Cases outside China go exponential
WHO team visits Wuhan; will give Monday press conference
Iran reports 10 new cases, deaths climb to 5
San Diego says 200 under 'medical observation'
Young woman infected five relatives without ever showing symptoms
South Korea cases surge 8-fold in 4 days to 433; country reports third death
When WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros was asked on Thursday whether the COVID-19 virus was at a tipping point, he replied that the window to stop the outbreak from growing exponentially worse was rapidly closing.
Though by Friday night, it certainly seemed like that window had slammed shut. In South Korea, cases went exponential, soaring by 70% in one day.
Overnight, the country reported another rash of confirmed cases, bringing the total to 433, with 352 in Daegu, presumably members of the cult-like church where a 'super-spreader' worshipped. That marks an eight-fold increase in cases in just four days for South Korea, as the AP reported.
SK also reported its third death, a man in his 40s who was found dead in his apartment and posthumously tested.
South Korean health officials warned they could soon see a rash of deaths as several patients are in serious condition. Virus patients with signs of pneumonia or other serious conditions at the Cheongdo hospital were transferred elsewhere as 17 of them are in critical condition, according to SK Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip told reporters.
The country has followed China in imposing quarantines (everyone is too terrified to go outside anyway) and they're hoping to prevent a national outbreak, despite a few cases in Seoul that weren't immediately traceable to an obvious source, which is sort of discouraging.
"Although we are beginning to see some more cases nationwide, infections are still sporadic outside of the special management zone of Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province," Kim said during a briefing. He called for maintaining strong border controls to prevent infections from China and elsewhere from entering South Korea.
In Italy, a seemingly minor outbreak went exponential. By day's end, Italian health authorities had confirmed their first virus-related fatality, and 12 towns in Lombardy were under strict quarantine orders with residents huddling terrified inside their homes, a tableau that has become all too familiar by now. Another fatality followed overnight, as a couple more towns joined in the lockdown. This marked Italy as the first European country to see its own nationals succumb to the virus, according to Euronews.

Across Italy, there are 32 cases in Codogno, Lombardy, and seven in Veneto, according to the AFP and Sky Italia television. Many of the new cases represented the first infections in Italy acquired through secondary contagion.
In Iran, 10 more cases, and one more death, were recorded overnight. That brings the total number of confirmed cases to 28, including cases in Qom and Tehran. So far, five Iranians have died.
10 new #COVID2019 cases confirmed in Iran, one of whom has died. 8 of them are in Qom & 2 in Tehran.
Total number of confirmed cases in Iran is 28, 5 of whom have died.
A total of 785 people are also suspected and are undet quarantine, according to Health Ministry

As we await more information out of China, CNBC's Eunice Yoon reports that the team would hold a press briefing on Monday at 6 am ET.
The @WHO joint mission with #China on #coronavirus to host a technical briefing in Beijing following the completion of its trip to China on Monday, Feb 24 at 19:00 Beijing time (6am ET), @WHO says. Trip included Beijing, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Wuhan.
— Eunice Yoon (@onlyyoontv) February 22, 2020
Meanwhile, as we noted yesterday, the team has arrived in Wuhan, where it's gathering information and observing the situation on the ground.
The team has already been to three Chinese provinces, Beijing, Sichuan and Guangdong, but are only now just visiting the city at the heart of the outbreak. Dr. Tedros confirmed the trip during public comments on Saturday, where he once again shared some familiar words.
"We have to take advantage of the window of opportunity we have, to attack the virus outbreak with a sense of urgency," Dr. Tedros told the leaders, who had gathered for an emergency meeting on the response to the coronavirus in the continent.
President Xi said Saturday that the situation in Wuhan remains 'grim and complex' – which means the WHO team should be in for an eye-opening experience.

As of Saturday morning in the US, 1,200 cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed outside China. More than 200 cases have been confirmed in South Korea, more than 30 in Italy, roughly a dozen in Iran, and one in Egypt, the first to be confirmed in Africa. China has reported over 76,000 cases, including over 2,300 deaths.
Confirmed cases in Japan rose to 121 on Saturday, having more than tripled in a week.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports that health officials and the cruise line are continuing to test crew members aboard the Diamond Princess. So far, 74 crew have been confirmed to have the virus, but they have been included in the toll already.
So far, China has reported only 397 new cases Saturday, as the rate of increase continued to decline, but another 109 have died. And even the Washington Post acknowledges that there is a "great deal of skepticism" about China's numbers, according to a new case study seen by Reuters.
Cases where patients didn't show signs of infection for longer than two weeks have prompted some epidemiologists to suggest a 27 day quarantine period instead of just a 14 day. Also on Saturday scientists in China revealed that they had discovered a strain of the virus in a patient's urine, raising new and uncomfortable questions about the virus's ability to spread through sewer systems.
There have also been several new indications that the virus's incubation period might be longer than the 14 days currently believed. A woman in Wuhan with no symptoms infected five relatives without every showing signs of infection.
In the US, health officials are scrambling to contain the fallout from the evacuation of 300 Americans from the 'Diamond Princess'. It appears that the decision to transport 14 infected passengers along with the rest of the group was a disaster. Dozens of others appear to have been infected either during the trip, or shortly before.

But in San Diego, officials announced that they're monitoring some 200 cases, none of which had anything to do with the ship.
After confirmed US cases more than doubled to 34 on Friday, officials in San Diego on Saturday confirmed that more than 200 people are currently being monitored over virus concerns, according to ABC News 10.
Officials said everyone being monitored had either come in contact with one of the three confirmed cases, or others under suspicion. Health officials didn't exactly offer specific details.
They're among more than 300 people who have been, or are being, 'monitored' by the county.
The 204 people under county supervision include those deemed at risk of having been exposed to the virus due to close contact with confirmed cases or because of travel to China in the past 14 days, the county said.
Those individuals are monitoring their health under the supervision of county health officials.
So far, 338 people in all have been monitored by the county, with 134 people completing their time under supervision.
Health officials say the CDC is conducting screening for those landing at one of 11 U.S. airports from China. From there, if a patient shows no symptoms they are self-quarantined at home for self-monitoring with public health supervision.
Keep in mind: These individuals aren't being held in isolation or a mandatory quarantine. Instead, they've been asked to self-quarantine, and immediately report any suspicious symptoms.
San Diego has had two confirmed cases of coronavirus, or COVID-19, among the evacuees who were flown out of Wuhan a few weeks ago. One patient has since recovered from the virus and has been released. The second patient is still receiving care. A third patient, reportedly a child, is still awaiting test results, but has been said to be showing symptoms.
When they extended a coronavirus-related emergency declaration for another 30 days, officials said there were no signs the virus was spreading around San Diego. But it never hurts to be cautious.

Adobe Spark is designed to give you and your students the ability to "turn your ideas into impactful…animated videos—in minutes." It's that last bit — "in minutes" — that makes me really excited to share this tool with educators and students. That is, in just a (truly) short amount of time, Adobe Spark allows educators and students to create a beautiful product that gives life to ideas that would normally live as words on paper. I first tried Adobe Spark last June. Since then, I've shown it to students and colleagues — some novice, some expert, and in between — and all of them have created something aesthetically inviting and engaging with (seemingly) zero frustration and even great enjoyment.
What does this mean for students? Students are given a platform to showcase their ideas beyond a word processing document or slideshow. They plan and organize the written components of a presentation then let their creative juices flow and personality shine by adding icons/pictures/photos, voice audio, background music, and/or text. What does this mean for teachers? Teachers have digital copies of presentations for grading and showcasing in the future as examples of student work. More importantly, teachers facilitate a project whereby students feel proud of their finished product and look forward to seeing their own work and the work of their fellow classmates on display for viewing.
Day 1: At the beginning of the school year, students received a letter of advice from a 7th grader that was in my class the year previous. In June, when this lesson took place, I reminded students about this event and, just for fun, we listened to a song called "Growing Up" where Macklemore gives fatherly advice to his unborn daughter. We had a class discussion around favorite lines and why we offer words of wisdom to those who come after us. Then students had a pair discussion thinking back to their first days of 7th grade — What did they feel? What were their hopes, fears, and expectations? Afterwards, students brainstormed around the questions that would make up their own letter to a future "sevvie" — Who am I? What is the purpose of this letter? What are some tips for surviving the first days of school? What are general tips for the entire school year? What should students do to do well in English? After brainstorming, students wrote a draft of this letter.
Day 2: I divided students into groups of four and told them that they would be combining their individual letters into a group video letter. Students read their letters out loud to their group members and took notes as to which parts they would want to keep from each letter. Then students wrote a plan to synthesize the group members' ideas into one "script." When students were done writing, they logged into an account I created for my class and began working on their slides.
Day 3: Some groups had finished the day before and were able to move on to working on their final writing portfolios, while other groups used a third day to put the finishing touches on their video. I shared a few videos per day until the end of the school year to showcase the students' work.
Just for fun, here is a video that students had the option to contribute to if they finished an assignment early before Thanksgiving break: Room 315 Practices Gratitude.
I can't wait to see what you create with Adobe Spark Video! Try it and let us know how it goes in the comments below (or better yet, leave a link to your creation)!

The beloved Link has been a fan favorite since the beginning of The Legend of Zelda series, with a loveable personality, intriguing backstory, and an array of cool abilities. Link is reincarnated throughout the storyline, with the soul of the hero being embodied in each title. This has led to much debate with regard to his age progression throughout the story.
How old is Link?
So, just how old is Link in each of the storyline's parts? We will be diving into the progression of The Legend of Zelda, listing each title in chronological order. There have been significant plot holes, and a plethora of conflicting information surrounding the timeline. Fans now have a slightly clearer picture of the order of events and progression of each character after the release of the Hyrule Historia official timeline of Zelda and Link's adventures, which you can check out through our link on Amazon.
How old is Link in Skyward Sword?
In Skyward Sword, Link is 17 and a half years old, and hails from Skyloft, a flying town. His adventure begins when Zelda is mysteriously sent to the surface world by unseen forces. The events of this title ultimately create the foundations for the plot that would unfold as The Legend of Zelda's timeline progresses.
How old is Link in The Minish Cap?
This is the first timeline that takes place in Hyrule, and gave the most detail surrounding Link's mythical origins before Skyward Sword was released. Link is approximately 12-13 years old in this title.
How old is Link in The Four Swords?
The events of The Four Swords takes place after those of The Minish Cape. This would dictate that Link was approximately 12-13 years old in The Four Swords.
How old is Link in Ocarina of Time?
Miyamoto indicated that during Ocarina of Time, Link was 9 years old as a child, and 16 years old as an adult. However, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – Official Nintendo Player's Guide by Nintendo Power, it was stated that Link was 10 years old as a child. In addition, the Ocarina of Time Link amiibo description depicted him as being 17 years old as an adult. It can therefore be said that Link was 9-10 years old as a child, and 16-17 years old as an adult.
It is after this point that the overall storyline branches out into three separate timelines – the 'Child' timeline, the 'Adult' timeline, and the 'Downfall' or Fallen Hero timeline.
The Adult Timeline
This timeline follows on from the end scene of Ocarina of Time, where Link defeats Ganondorf, after which he escapes.
How old is Link in The Wind Waker?
There has been some speculation with regard to Links age in this title. Despite his age being depicted as 9 years old in the Iwata Asks interview, there are plenty of sources that state otherwise. According to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker – The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, Zelda Box, the Toon Link Trophy and The Legend of Zelda Encyclopaedia, Link is in fact 12 years old in this installment.
How old is Link in Phantom Hourglass?
Phantom Hourglass takes place directly after Wind Waker, which makes Link 12-13 years old respectively.
How old is Link in Spirit Tracks?
This happens after Phantom Hourglass, making Link 12-13 years old in this title. In Spirit Tracks, Link's appearance is similar to that of Phantom Hourglass, but his voice is more reminiscent of the Link in Ocarina of Time.
The Child Timeline
Link is sent back in time, before Ganondorf had entered the sacred realm and claimed the Triforce, in order to prevent him from attaining it.
How old is Link in Majora's Mask & The Child Timeline?
Majora's Mask takes place a few months after the child section of Ocarina of Time, which would make him around 9-10 years old.
How old is Link in Twilight Princess?
Eiji Aonuma stated that Link was 16 years old in Twilight Princess. But, according to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess – PRIMA Official game Guide, and Enterplay's Link Trading Card, he was depicted as 17 years old.
How old is Link in Four Swords Adventures?
There has been much speculation regarding Link's age in this title. But, since these events take place after Twilight Princess, it can be said that Link was around 17 years old in Four Swords Adventures.
The Downfall Timeline
This timeline is a continuity in which Link is overpowered, which results in Ganondorf obtaining the Triforce. Princess Zelda and the people of Hyrule manage to seal him and the Triforce away in the sacred realm.
How old is Link in A Link to the Past?
This leads to the events of A Link to the Past. Using the visual changes in his appearance as a guide, Link is said to be in his mid-teens during this installment. Since Link was approximately the same age as Zelda, he was around 16 or 17 years old.
How old is Link in A Link Between Worlds?
A Link Between Worlds is the sequel to A Link to the Past, and the Link that is depicted in A Link Between Worlds is the second chronological Link within the Fallen hero timeline. This would make him approximately 17 years old at least.
How old is Link in Tri Force Heroes?
This occurs several years after A Link Between Worlds. Within this installment, there are multiple Links which each hold unique abilities. Although this is quite vague, fans have assumed that since Link was at least 17 years old in A Link to the Past, this would make Link in Triforce heroes upwards of 20 years old.
How old is Link in Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages?
This occurred a few months to one year after A Link to the Past, which would make Link around 17 years old, potentially nearing 18 years old.
How old is Link in Link's Awakening?
This installment was a direct sequel to A Link to the Past, which indicates that Link would be around 16-17 years old at this time.
How old is Link in The Legend of Zelda (1987)?
During an Iwata Asks for Ocarina of Time 3D, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that Link is around 12 in The Legend of Zelda. However, according to Hyrule Historia, The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, it was stated that Link was 10 years old.
How old is Link in The Adventure of Link?
In The Adventure of Link, Link was 16 years old. This was stated by Hyrule Historia as well as by Shigeru Miyamoto.
How old is Link in Breath of the Wild?
In Breath of the Wild, Link is said to have been over 100 years old as a result of the Slumber of Restoration. In this installment, Link is said to be around the same age as Zelda, and since Zelda had turned 17 years old a full century prior to these events, this would in turn make Link at least 117 years old in this title. Breath of the Wild makes several references to various past incarnations of Link by means of items, clothing and abilities attained in previous titles.
There are plenty of continuity gaps and plot holes that have resulted in continuous speculation by fans, and it is possible that the official timeline is subject to change in the future. With conflicting information from canon sources, elements like time travel, and theories stemming from alternate timelines to expanding universes, there is still much debate with regard to pinpointing the exact ages of each character throughout The Legend of Zelda.

Q: Wait for Firebase file upload downloadURL in file to store it in object I'm uploading images with the original Google-code from:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/upload-files
    uploadImage(image){
    var metadata = {
              contentType: 'image/jpeg'
            };
            const file = base64ToFile(image)
            // Upload file and metadata to the object 'images/mountains.jpg'
            var uploadTask = firebase.storage().ref(this.currentUser.uid).child(imgName + '.jpg').put(file, metadata);

            // Listen for state changes, errors, and completion of the upload.
            uploadTask.on(firebase.storage.TaskEvent.STATE_CHANGED, // or 'state_changed'
              (snapshot) => {
                // Get task progress, including the number of bytes uploaded and the total number of bytes to be uploaded
                var progress = (snapshot.bytesTransferred / snapshot.totalBytes) * 100;
                console.log('Upload is ' + progress + '% done');
                switch (snapshot.state) {
                  case firebase.storage.TaskState.PAUSED: // or 'paused'
                    console.log('Upload is paused');
                    break;
                  case firebase.storage.TaskState.RUNNING: // or 'running'
                    console.log('Upload is running');
                    break;
                }
              },
              (error) => {
                // A full list of error codes is available at
                // https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/handle-errors
                switch (error.code) {
                  case 'storage/unauthorized':
                    // User doesn't have permission to access the object
                    break;
                  case 'storage/canceled':
                    // User canceled the upload
                    break;

                  // ...

                  case 'storage/unknown':
                    // Unknown error occurred, inspect error.serverResponse
                    break;
                }
              },
              () => {
                // Upload completed successfully, now we can get the download URL
                uploadTask.snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL().then((downloadURL) => {
                  console.log('File available at', downloadURL);
return downloadURL
                });
              }
            );
    }

The upload is done in my service and now I want to wait in my file till the donwloadURL is ready and then save it to my object. I need the donwloadURL returned direct to my file, because I want to do some other things with my object after uploading and save the object at last. Is there an opportunity to wait for or return the downloadURL? Like
this.dataService.uploadImage(file).then(data => { object.url = data })

A: Whenever you see a then(), you can use async / await to make the code a bit simpler to read. So you can do this if you want:
async () => {
  const downloadURL = await uploadTask.snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
  console.log('File available at', downloadURL);
}

But you'll note that I also had to mark the function itself as async now. So any use of the download URL must happen within this asynchronous function itself.

The task itself is also a promise (so, it has a then), which means that you can also use await there. So if we remove all the progress reporting and error handling, the code can also be written as:
var metadata = {
  contentType: 'image/jpeg'
};
const file = base64ToFile(image)
const ref = firebase.storage().ref(this.currentUser.uid).child(imgName + '.jpg');
await ref.put(file, metadata);

const downloadURL = await uploadTask.snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
console.log('File available at', downloadURL);

Here too, since we're using await, the function that you put this code in will have to be marked as async, and any use of the downloadURL needs to be inside the function, or you can use await in the calling code again.

A: Found the searched way here: async/await in Firebase Storage (wait to get URL after uploading a file)
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
...code before...
 resolve(downloadURL); //instead of return downloadURL
});

made it for me

In my opinion there are certain benefits to tablet use in a 21st century 'thinking school' although I believe them to be practical rather than ground breaking in terms of advancing learning.
The portability of a tablet and the relatively long battery life enable quick access to digital media at any point in the day without any scheduling of an IT suite or lap top trolley and without the need for cables and electrical sockets in close proximity. The mobility of a device can enable learning both inside and outside of classrooms at an instant.
Obviously size of device is an issue and tablets can enable a pupil to 'carry around' everything all in one small storage unit. In an ideal situation it is rather like having all of your exercise books with you without having the heavy rucksack and in addition you can carry the library as well!
Tablets are also becoming more common place and low cost, in comparison to larger devices such as lap tops and standalone computers, in schools where budgets are increasingly tight this is an important benefit.
Whilst tablets have the potential to enhance learning there are also several drawbacks and potential pitfalls. Portable devices are heavily reliant on a fast broadband service and in a rural school such as mine, this just isn't the case. Furthermore, where the school may have a good broadband connection, children's homes may not and this compromises access and makes achievement outside of school inequitable.
Unless pedagogical approaches and curriculum are designed to accommodate such personal and autonomous learning as tablet use may manifest, then the benefits will not reach fruition. In my opinion, a 1:1 'vision' may compel school leaders to have a very narrow view of learning and to dismiss other forms of teaching and learning in pursuit of the tablet based classroom.
I am under the impression that it is much more difficult to monitor what portable devices are used for particularly if they are taken out of a school setting. The benefit of autonomy and portability is at best balanced and at worse out-weighed by the potential for a pupil to access harmful and inappropriate material or to use their device to propagate harm.
I think that the iPad from Apple appears to be the 'Holy Grail' of tablets and that when one purchases another brand there is almost a sense of being a 'second class' citizen such is the power of the Apple image. I imagine that other more reasonably priced devices are equally as good as an iPad but don't have the same kudos. I would be looking for a light, relatively robust device with appropriate functionality and a good warranty. In fact a less 'fashionable' brand would probably reduce the risk of theft or resale.
Within school, we have built e-safety into our curriculum and discuss it with children in lessons and in assemblies. Our older children have had specific lessons on e-safety and we ensure that we have some posters emphasising the need for caution in our IT room. The local community police officer comes in and does a talk each year with year 6 and this is always well received by the children. Nonetheless, the biggest factor for us is the overall expectation on behaviour that we instil in our children and the ethos of the school that we create.
Outside of school is more difficult. We do try and work with parents and have regular workshops about supporting children at home that includes discussion on internet use and supervision. However, one has to be careful not to make assumptions about families from different socio-economic backgrounds and one also has to be wary of trying to impose a set of 'middle class values' that in themselves may be flawed.
At this time, I know that not every school can implement a 1:1 tablet scheme, because we certainly could not. The cost is too great and in our won situation the lack of a good broadband speed and reliability make it impossible to rely on such devices. Schools in big cities with bigger budgets and infrastructure may be able to but for many schools it is not a possibility.
Personally though, I hope that 1:1 schemes are not future as I think that there is a great deal more to successful learning, inspiring children and good education than the latest technology. I would love a tablet for each child just as I would love a wallet on the back of every chair to put their water bottles, pencil cases and dictionaries in so that the tables were clearer and the children could remain hydrated. Whilst that is a luxury beyond my budget, then tablets will also remain a distant desire rather than a possibility.

Q: How to open a subtab for a primary tab in a service console when clicked on a custom button in case pagelayout i have a custom button on a case layout page .... when clicked on button  I NEED TO open a subtab with a name for the subtab ......this is to be done by using the onclick javascript ... anyone could u please help its very urgent ...
function openNewSubtab() {
    if (sforce.console.isInConsole()) {
        sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(openSubtab);
    }
}

var opensubtab = function openSubtab(result) {
    var primaryTabId = result.id;
    alert(result.id);
    var URLValue = url;
    alert("Value of the URLValue......" + URLValue);
    sforce.console.openSubtab(result.id, URLValue, true, 'offers', null, openSuccess);
}

var openSuccess = function openSuccess(result) {
    if (result.success == true) {
        alert('subtab successfully opened');
    } else {
        alert('subtab cannot be opened');
    }
};

//to set tab title on load
var pageLoad = window.onload;
window.onLoad = function () {
    if (pageLoad) {
        pageLoad();
    }
    openSubtab();

}

I CHANGED BY CODE  , BUT I AM UNABLE TO GET THE TAB TITLE IT IS STILL GIVING AS EXTERNAL PAGE ONLY

A: Here's a VF page I created that opens subtabs immediately.  Then I added the VF page to the Console as one of the side bars (so it can execute).  I hope the example helps!

        function openNewSubtab() {
            sforce.connection.sessionId = '{!$Api.Session_ID}';
            if (sforce.console.isInConsole()) {
                sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(openSubtabs);
            }
        }

        var openSubtabs = function openSubtabs(result) {

East Village neighborhood restaurant gets $ 2 million reboot – plus hidden bar
When the craft beer and burgers-focused neighborhood restaurant opened in East Village 14 years ago, it was the first foray into restaurant ownership for the now prolific Arsalun Tafazoli, whose hotel group has places as prestigious as Born & Raised, Craft & Commerce, and Raised by Wolves.
At the time, Neighborhood was considered fairly avant-garde with more than two dozen craft beers on tap – and not a Heineken in sight – and an interior-exterior design that included artificial turf around the perimeter and the fake moss and ivy on the walls. In recent years, however, the G Street venue didn't feel so edgy anymore, as San Diego has seen an explosion of craft beer-focused pubs. And so, the neighborhood closed in March 2019 – a year before the pandemic – in anticipation of a six-month transformation.
Two years and over $ 2 million later, Neighborhood, along with fellow speakeasy Noble Experiment and new bar, Youngblood, debuts Monday, the latest in CH Projects' portfolio of 15 restaurants and bars.
"For us, it's emotional. I've had the best and the worst times in this area, "said CH Projects co-founder Tafazoli, recalling Neighborhood's first year when he applied for Sears credit cards to do the payroll. "When it comes to restaurants, groups don't always improve as they evolve. This is something that we are terribly aware of and that we are not sure of. How can we apply this decade of experience and hopefully this will be our best job to date? "
Gone are the reinvented neighborhood, its old industrial-chic atmosphere, its open windows and outdoor seating. And banned from Noble Experiment are its television screens and woodwork, replaced by faux-finished walls. The whimsy, whimsical design and obsessive attention to detail of CH Projects are always present.
The 2,000-square-foot neighborhood features custom oak flooring, cowhide-covered bar stools, and a 'Hi-Fi' wall with turntables and reel-to-reel tapes that will play a selection of music ranging from punk, metal, new wave, rock and hip-hop. The benches are covered with fabric from the long line of work clothes Ben Davis (the menus will be inserted in the pockets).
The 34-seat restaurant, with a seating capacity that's now half of what it used to be, will still feature craft beer with a focus on San Diego brewers, as well as rare selections that it says. CH, date back to the early days of the movement. New to Neighborhood is a section of the restaurant that has been set aside for the retail sale of specialty beers. The culinary offer will be constantly evolving, from crispy tofu curry to schnitzel and falafel.
Ch Projects CIO Brian Eastman is excited about the restaurant's rare selections, including a legendary 1996 Double IPA which is one of the few remaining bottles of its kind in the world – "a true piece of" history, "he said.
Noble Experiment, which still keeps its wall of rows on rows of golden skulls, is a refreshed cocktail bar with no menu – "you're going to tell us what you like and we'll make that drink for you," Tafazoli says – while Youngblood is a new addition to the G Street location. Together, the two bars cover 2,000 square feet.
Nobel experience, much of which remains unchanged after neighborhood renovations.
(Jarrod Valliere / The San Diego Union-Tribune)
Occupying a former loft, as Noble Experiment does, the sleek Youngblood is imbued with warm golden lighting, amplified by a large neon chandelier. The bar top is fashioned from layers of marble and granite, and the padded bar front is crushed gold velvet.
The hidden speakeasy is accessed through a door that has a deceptive front – a glass refrigerator case. Youngblood's concept is a more personalized and intimate cocktail experience that will be marketed as a fixed-price tasting of three cocktails and rare champagnes that will change every day. The price will start around $ 65 per person but will vary depending on the offers.
Highlighting a storage area for rarer whiskeys, Eastman said a single storage space could hold between $ 150,000 and $ 200,000 worth of vintage spirits, which have been kept by the restaurant group over the years.
Tafazoli says it's both risky and enticing to sidestep current trends in hospitality.
"I love the nerd culture where you take a very specific genre and put that irrational level of attention into it and go deeper into it," he said. "We're restaurant and bar nerds, and we get into the weeds and details that may seem trivial to most."
He acknowledges his restaurant group is fortunate to have so far survived the pandemic with its businesses intact, but says this latest project could not have come this far without the concessions made by its lender and owner. .
"When the pandemic hit, we were already a year and two months into this project, and the train had already left the station, so the only way was to go," Tafazoli said. "Our bank was local and everyone shared the same belief that there would be light at the end of the tunnel, so we moved forward. The bank basically gave us a 12-month reprieve. It allowed us to see it through. Between the owner and the banks, they really supported us during this year-long dumpster fire.

Q: jQuery Plugin; Can't work defaults out How can I make this plugin code accept default options?
// Utility
if ( typeof Object.create !== 'function' ) {
object.create = function( obj ) {
    function F(){};
    F.prototype = obj;
    return new F();
};
}

(function( $, window, document, undefined ) {
var Super = {
    init: function( options, elem ) {
        var self = this;

        self.elem = elem;
        self.$elem = $( elem );

        //self.alertbox( options.alertmsg );
        self.loadingBar( options.duration );

        if ( typeof options === 'string' ) {
            self.search = options;
        } else {
            // object was passed
            self.search = options.search;
        }

        self.options = $.extend({}, $.fn.superHero.options, options );

    },

    alertbox: function( message ) {
        var self = this;

        alert(message);

    },

    loadingBar: function( duration ) {
        var self = this;

        $('#loadingBar').animate({
            width:  699
        }, duration);

    },

};

$.fn.superHero = function( options ){
    return this.each(function() {

        var hero = Object.create( Super );
        hero.init( options, this );

        $.data( this, 'superHero', hero);

    });

};

$.fn.superHero.options = {
    alertmsg:   'Hello World!',
    duration:   8000,
};

})( jQuery, window, document );

The options only work if I define them in the index page when calling the plug-in.
How do I make it so that the options have a default that is overwritten by the user as opposed to being required from the user?

A: It turns out I need to call;
self.loadingBar( self.options.duration );

as opposed to
self.loadingBar( options.duration );

Not sure what the difference is; all I know is it works.


Thanks to a great article by Nelson D. Schwartz in The New York Times. Can you believe this?
Of course we have been doing the same here in the US since September of 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed. This type of mixing and matching would make even the most devious street hustler blush given the trickle down, up, left, and right of a group of greedy bankers and profligate sovereign governments. The idea that this type of thing couldn't have been stopped is nonsense and to go one step further the Greenspanian idea that you don't prick a bubble is pure hubris mixed with a large dose of Cigarette Smoking Man "After all, villains don't think they are villains".
Well say what you want about Lord Keynes politics and the bastardization of his work and theories by the left and the right, but the fact remains we have never seen a paradigm proved so faulty, so often, in so many disparate economies, and with so many casualties than we have with Capitalism. Don't even think I am espousing Socialism across the board I am not and would never, but a reexamination of the facts when they change should lead us to change our minds about Capitalism as it's universal application is clearly misguided and when you wipe away the muck and bombast very dangerous for lots of folks.
It seems that we may be hitting the point the Romans and many others inevitably approached and violently surpasses. It is the point at which our cumulative GDP growth has flattened out while population growth continues to grow albeit at a mild rate.
To the right you see a graph of the ratio of Cumulative Annual US GDP to Population Growth from 1930 to 2008.
This ratio did not become positive until 1940 on the eve of WW II and spiked at the war's conclusion in 1944-45. At this point this ratio began a steady decline to a low of 4.52 in 1963. While it experienced a bump between the 60s and late 90s it has remained relatively flat between 1950 and 2008 deviating very little from it's ~60 yr average of 5.43.
Another way of looking at this "Economic Ceiling" is from an agricultural perspective. I have plotted the Yield to Nitrogen (N) Applied ratio for Corn here in the US from 1943-2007. On the Primary Y- and X-Axis the relationship for the raw data is shown, while the Secondary Y- and X-Axis depicts the relationship on a log scale. We see two things here: 1) the shape of the relationship is dependent on how the data is presented and 2) the raw data demonstrates quite conclusively that we have reached a similar asymptote to that described above for our economy relative to population growth. This is a disturbing trend given our over reliance on corn here in the US. GMOs and fertilizer technology will only be able to do so much in fighting this apparent biological inertia. The rest of the quagmire will require a new paradigm if it is to be fixed. That should include a gradual transition to a more diverse produce and dry goods food economy in keeping the the proselytizing of Michael Pollan. However, alot of this will involve tough medicine, which should start with decreasing national obesity from it's current rate of 33% to 15% or what it was in 1980. This may sound quixotic but really it is a necessity and weening ourselves off our addiction to High Fructose Corn Syrup would probably put a 5-7% dent in our national obesity on it's own.
It is high time we start to seriously discuss the idea that Eugene Fama's "Efficient Market Hypothesis", Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand", and Milton Friedman's "Shock Doctrine" are a thing of the past designed solely to benefit the top 0.1-0.5% of the G20, G8, or OECD. We must turn our attention to what I will call an Asymptotic Economic Hypothesis or the Steady State Economy (http://www.steadystate.org/) acknowledging the ubiquitous influence of Keynes's "Animal Spirits" and the fact that nothing grows forever.
It would be absolutely acceptable if we didn't shift towards an economy with strict ceiling and floor constraints BUT if we do our children will be very mad at us!

Tributes to inspirational teacher who 'never failed to brighten up everyone's day'
The 62-year-old had taught at Sandbach School since 1999
Kathie McInnes
Sandbach School teacher Geoff Pike, who has died at the age of 62
Former pupils and colleagues have paid tribute to a 'legendary' teacher who was 'born to inspire' and went on to help transform many young lives.
Geoff Pike was still working at Sandbach School right up until his death earlier this week following a short illness.
The 62-year-old had taught IT and business for many years and was also heavily involved in football teams, skiing and kayaking trips, and a cadet force.
In recent times, he supported teenagers from across South Cheshire who attended the school's alternative provision base called the Lodge.
Headteacher Sarah Burns said they are now hoping to create a memorial garden in the Lodge grounds in his honour.
She added: "He always put the needs of other people first, whether it was his colleagues or his students. He was just able to really spot when a student needed that bit of extra support and to find a way of supporting them every time.
"Geoff didn't have any airs or graces. He was so kind and was such a great character.
"There wasn't anybody who had a bad word to say about him."

'Gentle giant' Royal Stoke mental health nurse, 33, left note on door saying 'let the emergency services find me' before taking own life
Mr Pike, who lived in Crewe, had joined Sandbach School back in 1999 and quickly established a rapport with his students.
Paying tribute on the school's Facebook page, Michael Kinge said: "I can't do Mr Pike justice in a few short sentences. He started me on a long love affair with kayaking and I bet the same can be said for a lot of others in one way or another.
"He was never showy and always looked to those at the back of the room. He'll be missed by all who knew him."
Peter Goodwin added: "Such sad news. He was a great teacher and inspired me to get into teaching myself."
Other former students said they 'couldn't have had a better mentor' in Mr Pike and recalled how he would provide 'entertainment, banter, support and kindness'.
Mr Pike also had many strings to his bow. As well his work at the Lodge, he taught Tai Chi and first aid.
Posting on Facebook, Lydia Little said: "My thoughts go out to his family. He was a true, genuine gentleman who never ever failed to brighten up my day with his wit and wonderful tales.
"He had a moment for everyone and was the warmest, funniest person, who ws great to be around. What terrible news."
Kev Alcock had also known Mr Pike well.
He said: "I must have spent hours and hours speaking with Geoff about sport, the best beers, his latest planned adventures, and just life in general during my time at Sandbach School.
"Geoff has an amazing personality. He could connect with everyone he met and make everyone's day instantly better with a one liner."


The Scor-Buddy has been updated to match the full size Scor-Pal scoring board with grooves every one-eighth inch across the board. The Scor-Buddy was designed for card makers on the go. The scoring surface measures approx. 9" x 7.5" and has a fence down the left side.


Adelman's book contains much fine research, and as a monograph derived from doctoral inquiry demonstrates a high level of achievement. The tracing of the post-Famine reactions to science is well handled and provides a compelling portrait of a country engaging in the spectacle of scientific exhibitions to bolster national pride and assert its determination to become a progressive state.
Dr. Adelman has put all students of nineteenth-century Irish history in her debt by producing such a well-researched, well-presented and stimulating study.
Historians of Irish history, as well as historians of science in Ireland, will find much enlightenment here.

Lamborghini wants to increase its footprint by adding new market segments to the super sports car niche it has run since it was established in the early '60s. To do this, the automaker decided to bring back an SUV to its fold. The last time Lamborghini sold an SUV is 25 years ago before it discontinued the LM002 which some considered outrageous. Lamborghini first showcased the Urus in concept form five years ago. Surprisingly, the automaker is planning to build 3,500 Urus which is as much as all models it built last year meaning the 2019 Lamborghini Urus will account for half of the automaker's production. The Urus is a daily-drivable Lamborghini which is set to appeal to many buyers; imagine going to work daily with a Lamborghini and tugging all the family along for weekend getaways, pretty awesome, right?

The Urus seems to have blended in design cues of Lambo's current and past models including Lamborghini's first ever SUV, the LM002; it also retains most of the features of the concept the automaker showcased during the Beijing Auto show in 2012. The Urus exterior profile looks very aggressive. The automaker has managed to mix off-road characteristics of the LM002 with the sharp design of the current Lamborghini supercars such as the Huracan and Aventador. The product is a coupe-like SUV with a tall stance and short overhangs.
The front is characterized by a geometric bumper with hexagonal intakes as well as Naca cooling ducts to ensure the brakes don't overheat. The model also features Y-shaped elements that are used as intake dividers. There is also a front splitter. The front also has Y-shaped headlights housings with each containing 5 LED lighting elements. The hood line looks as if it is bulging out, a design cue adopted from the Aventador. There are also diagonal lines on the hood whose design is derived from the Countach.
On the sides, the 2019 Lamborghini Urus looks like a big coupe with frameless doors while the window line swoops rearwards. The C-pillar design is borrowed from the Huracan while the wheel arches are hooked with a hexagon silhouette. There is a triangular-shaped cutout behind the front wheels which is painted with the colors of the Italian flag. The Lambo' rides on 21-inch wheels but one can opt for 23 inches.
Like the headlights, the taillights have Y-shaped housings and a diffuser just like the units on Lamborghini race cars. The diffuser integrates round-shaped exhaust tips. Other features on the rear include a floating wing, a rear spoiler and a spoiler lip.
In terms of size, the model has a huge wheelbase of 118.2 inches which is longer than its competitors. The model is 201.35 inches long79.37 inches wide and 61.18 inches tall. The Urus also has a high ground clearance level than you are used to on other Lambo's i.e. 6.22 inches but can be adjusted using the air suspension to 9.76 inches.
The cabin of the 2019 Lamborghini Urus features numerous geometric design elements as well as hard angles such as hexagons for air vents, door handles, cup holders and airbag modules. Drivers will love the model's multi-function, 3-spoke steering wheel that features a vibration damper and multifunction switches for the navigation system, infotainment system and Smartphone functions.
This is not your regular, practical SUV, the Urus focuses on luxury and speed. The cabin is fitted with lavish materials including leather and Alcantara upholstery and aluminum, carbon fiber and wood trims. There are numerous seatbelt colors, stitching options, floor mat colors and other customization options to complement the leather upholstery which comes in a single color complemented by either Nero Ade or Grigio Octans trim. The dash has a black finish with brushed aluminum in standard form but one can choose carbon fiber or open pore wood finish.
The SUV luxuriously accommodates five passengers; at the front, there are sporty seats that offer 12-way power adjustment, heating function, and memory settings. There is an option for 18-way power adjustment, massage and ventilation functions. The rear comes standard with a bench seat that accommodates three passengers; the bench can be configured with movable and folding functions that help boost cargo space. One can, however, choose two seats for improved luxury feel. The Urus provides 616 liters of cargo space behind the rear seats, lowering the seats expands it to 1,596 liters.
Tech is first-class starting with a two-screen layout for the Lamborghini Infotainment System III; the upper screen displays navigation, entertainment and car information; on the other hand, handwriting recognition, keyboard inputs and climate and seat heating controls are displayed on the lower screen. The infotainment system can also be operated via voice commands. Other tech features include wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, DAB & CI car reader, Smartphone connectivity including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support and a heads-up display. An 8-speaker sound system is standard but audiophiles should go for the optional 21-speaker Bang & Olufsen unit with 3D sound and a whopping 1,700 watts.
Advanced driving aids include parking sensors (front and rear), collision mitigation and high beam assist. Buyers can add a trailer coupling mode, traffic management, and a top-view camera.
The model also features an electric tailgate with hands-free and rear-kick detection operations, keyless start and automatic rear ride adjustment function to ease loading and unloading.
Drivers can choose various driving modes via the "Tamburo" (driving dynamic controller).
Believe it or not, the Urus mill puts out 650 horses and 627 lb-f of torque. With this power, 3.6 seconds are enough to see it sprint to 62 mph and if you want to go all out on the highway, Lamborghini says the model can reach up to 190 mph which is a great deal of speed for an SUV. This performance is courtesy of a twin-turbocharged 4.0 L, a 90-degree V-8 mill that is paired with a Z-F 8-speed automatic gearbox and AWD. AWD is standard so if you are a RWD enthusiast you don't have a choice; however, I understand the model features rear-wheel steering system to ensure excellent control. This exceptional performance makes the Urus the fastest SUV on the globe; it is faster than the Bentley Bentayga as well as the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Carbon ceramics are used to get this monster to a halt.
The Urus will go on sale in the second half of 2018 probably the last quarter of the year as a 2019 model. The SUV will carry an MSRP of $200,000 for the base model.
Despite the awesome performance figures of the 2019 Lamborghini Urus, it not alone in the market; in fact, there are several European-made contenders such as the Bentley Bentayga which was before the new Urus the fastest SUV in the world, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4Matic and Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio. There is also an American-made SUV, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk which is, in fact, more powerful than the Urus; it produces 707 horsepower and 654 lb-ft torque but has a heavier curb weight making it a tad slower. Its styling does not, however, match the luxury trappings offered by the European-made models.

It's closing time for Goody Goody Liquor, which will shut down its southwest Fort Worth location. The huge, decade-old shop at 4740 SW Loop 820 is turning off the lights for good on March 31.
A company spokesman says the Overton Park Plaza store's sales had slowed in recent years as surrounding areas shifted from "dry" to "wet" zones. No longer do residents in historically dry towns like Granbury and Weatherford need to travel to the Hulen area of Fort Worth to buy alcohol.
"When we opened 10 years ago, it was quite the destination for the entire region with its huge, 40,000-square-foot footprint, beautiful decor, and huge selection," says Armando Gonzalez, marketing manager for Dallas-based Goody Goody. "All of North Texas is going wet. Frankly, this has resulted in a dramatic drop in sales."
There's been some competition from nearby Spec's and Total Wine & More, he says, but it's the changes in wet-dry lines that "make for a very dynamic industry and business for all of us in North Texas."
The company now is focusing on stores about half the size of Overton Park, but has no plans to open another one in Fort Worth. A Goody Goody about five miles away, on Camp Bowie Boulevard, and a location in Colleyville are significantly smaller and more successful than the Overton Park one, Gonzalez says. Employees will be transferred to those stores.
What's left of the store's inventory also will be moved to those locations, and to a wholesale division in Tarrant County.
But first, sales. For several days, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages, such as mixers, have been marked down to reduce inventory. Beginning March 28, all wine and non-alcoholic products will be 30 percent off, and liquor, 10 percent off. Customers should check the store for specials on the limited selection of beer.
Liquor shelves are still well stocked, and extra cases are on display for purchase. Fans of creamy liqueurs, especially, have many choices. Most of the store's wine rooms, which are organized by country, have racks and racks of bottles. They're even selling full-sized empty wine barrels. Everything must go.
The store will continue its normal business hours, 10 am-9 pm, through Saturday, giving customers plenty of time to stock up on wine and martini fixings for Easter dinner.

External Audit – Supreme Audit Institutions
An independent and professional Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) is an important actor in a country's accountability chain. It is a government entity whose external audit role is established by the constitution or supreme law-making body.
SAIs are traditionally known for their oversight of public expenditure, which remains a core part of the audit portfolio. SAIs undertake:
financial audits to assess the reliability and accuracy of public entities' financial reporting and,
compliance audits to assess a public entities' compliance with its governing authorities.
But the role of SAIs is evolving, as they are increasingly taking a broader, more comprehensive view on reliability, effectiveness, efficiency and economy of policies and programmes.
SAIs have untapped potential to go beyond their traditional oversight role and contribute evidence for more informed policy-making.

Application of principal component analysis and wavelet transform to fatigue crack detection in waveguides
Marcello Cammarata, Marcello Cammarata, Piervincenzo Rizzo, Debaditya Dutta, Hoon Sohn
Ultrasonic Guided Waves (UGWs) are a useful tool in structural health monitoring (SHM)applications that can benefit from built-in transduction, moderately large inspection ranges and high sensitivityto small flaws. This paper describes a SHM method based on UGWs, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), andprincipal component analysis (PCA) able to detect and quantify the onset and propagation of fatigue cracks instructural waveguides. The method combines the advantages of guided wave signals processed through theDWT with the outcomes of selecting defect-sensitive features to perform a multivariate diagnosis of damage.This diagnosis is based on the PCA. The framework presented in this paper is applied to the detection offatigue cracks in a steel beam. The probing hardware consists of a PXI platform that controls the generationand measurement of the ultrasonic signals by means of piezoelectric transducers made of Lead ZirconateTitanate. Although the approach is demonstrated in a beam test, it is argued that the proposed method isgeneral and applicable to any structure that can sustain the propagation of UGWs.

LAHORE - In what could be described a novel way of electioneering, the PPP candidate from NA-120, Faisal Mir Sunday launched a cleanliness campaign in the area that will continue till the end of electioneering.
Accompanied by his supporters, he went to different streets to lift the garbage by himself. Later, the party activists cleaned the area in his supervision. They were seen putting the waste into sacks and then throwing them at the nearby garbage containers.
Speaking on the occasion, Faisal Mir said that the PML-N had converted the constituency into a heap of garbage despite ruling the province for 30 years. He said his team would collect garbage from streets on daily basis.
Later, the PPP candidate went door-to-door for canvassing in Islampura falling in NA-120. He told the people that PML-N was in power for the last over 30 years, but the public still lacked adequate facilities of health, education and good sanitation system. He also mentioned the issues of unemployment, price hike and rampant corruption which the ruling party had failed to resolve over the years.
Alleging pre-poll rigging by the government, Faisal said that ministers were distributing fake appointment letters among the people to enlist their support for their party candidate. He asked the voters to understand the move which was a deception to grab their votes.
He claimed that government had become unnerved in the wake of immense popularity of the PPP and alleged that the PML-N goons were harassing his supporters in the constituency. "But we are fighting a battle for truth and will succeed in the upcoming electoral contest," he said.

The seller releases ownership of the car by signing the title. The buyer then gets a new title and registration from the state DMV.
A car title is a document that proves who owns a vehicle. When you sell your car, the title must be legally transferred to the new owner so that person can complete the registration process.
Let's start with a small point of clarification: The car's title, sometimes called the "pink slip," isn't always pink anymore. Regardless of its color, the title is issued by your state's department of motor vehicles. Beyond indicating who owns the car, the title also includes the vehicle identification number, the mileage at the time of sale and what type of car it is.
Transferring a car title consists of two steps, one for the seller and one for the buyer. First, the seller has to release ownership of the car by signing the title. The buyer then takes the signed title to the DMV, and the state issues a new registration and title. Some states might require additional paperwork to complete the process, such as a bill of sale or a transfer of ownership form.
When you sign your car title, it releases your ownership of the vehicle.
When you're buying a new car, a dealer handles the paperwork and you usually receive the vehicle title from your state's DMV in the mail. But when private parties buy or sell cars, it's up to them to transfer the title.
States may also require the seller to provide basic information about the car, such as the sales price and the current odometer reading. Before signing the title, check with your state's DMV to find the proper line on which to sign and how to supply the correct information. For example, here's a short video on where to sign from the California DMV.
For the seller, the first step is to look at how your name is listed on the car's title. If your name alone is printed on the title, this means you are the only owner and can easily transfer ownership.
If you have a loan on your car, your lender's name will also be on the title.
If, however, there's also a bank or lender's name on the title (referred to as a "lienholder"), this means you have an auto loan that has to be settled before you can sell. This complicates things, but it's still possible to sell your car. Call your lender and ask how to sell a car that has a loan and how the transaction should be handled.
In many cases, a car is owned jointly by two people, such as a husband and wife. In this case, there are two ways the vehicle title can be written. The two names might have an "and" or an "or" between them. Generally, "and" means both parties have to sign the title to release ownership; "or" means either person can sign the title.
Signing the title on the wrong line can cause delays in the sale.
If you make a mistake, such as signing on the wrong line, or if you try to erase something from the title, it will slow the process. Either you'll need to file a second form, stating you made a mistake, or you might have to apply for a new title from the DMV before the sale can be concluded.
After the title is properly signed by the seller, the buyer must register the car in the new owner's name. In some states, the application for a new title and registration is on the back of the old title. In other cases, you might have to download a transfer of ownership form from your state's DMV website.
Usually, a temporary registration is issued as soon as the title and proper forms have been presented to the DMV. A new title, in the new owner's name, will be mailed later.


Satya is one of the yamas of the 8-limbs of ashtanga yoga. Lately, this has been put to the test for me. Quoting the sutras of Patanjali, satya is truthfulness, not lying. Follow the truth and the truth will follow you. A vow of absolute honesty means we can no longer tell white lies either. If by being honest we will cause trouble, difficulty or harm to anyone, we should keep quiet, which ties in with the first yama, Ahimsa. Satya dictates that you speak only truth. Anytime you speak a falsehood, no matter how trivial, it takes you away from the Truth of your own Beingness.
It's easy to read the sutras and agree with it, but in practice, in the real world, when faced with a challenge of whether you should tell the truth, or how to phrase it in a way that doesnt cause Himsa, I find it really perplexing. Alas, after much contemplation, I chose to be upfront about the truth, albeit not very timely, which still caused friction and emotional upheavals. It led me to thinking if I should have lied about it, which would defintely go against my conscience, or was my execution done poorly? The former was ruled out. So, it has to be the latter. I should have kept quiet about it totally knowing that it would have avoided hurting anyone.
But, the milk has been spilt, and there's no point lamenting about the what-ifs and the past. Paradigms might have shifted, but I still treasure our friendship very much, and I'm really sorry for not exercising enough sensitivity with my words, or lack of. I am quite disturbed by the whole chain of events, but I don't think that will get me anywhere. I've only to learn from my mistake, move on and not beat myself up over it. A breath at a time, and let it all go.

Bournemouth moved to within two points of the Championship play-offs with a win over promotion rivals Reading.
Winger Matt Ritchie opened the scoring for the Cherries, who have won five matches in a row, with a shot from inside the penalty area.
Ritchie doubled his side's lead after 20 minutes with a close-range finish before Yann Kermorgant's header made it 3-0 on the stroke of half-time.
Hal Robson-Kanu scored a consolation goal for Reading in the second half.
Bournemouth have won eight of their last 10 games, including all of their last five.
Reading hold the final play-off position in the Championship but saw their five-point lead narrowed to two by Bournemouth, Ipswich and Brighton on Tuesday.
Bournemouth, who were promoted to the Championship this season, have won eight of their last 10 games, with their only league defeat at home since mid-December coming against Leicester on 1 February.
The Royals, meanwhile, will be glancing anxiously over their shoulders, despite having lost only two of their last nine matches, after being comprehensively beaten by their hosts.
A resounding finish from Ritchie from the centre of the box after good work by Lewis Grabban gave Bournemouth the lead.
The lead was doubled when Ritchie side-footed home from close range from Andrew Surman's pass, after Grabban's shot was blocked, and Kermorgant's header put the Cherries firmly in control before the break.
Marc Pugh and Grabban went close with second-half efforts as Bournemouth continued to impress.
But Reading pulled a goal back through Robson-Kanu's powerful shot from 20 yards.
"I can believe we are here as I've seen how hard the lads have worked. We didn't expect it but why not seize the moment and see where we can go?
"It is in Reading's hands. If they win their five games, they are in it. We've always believed we have really good players and now we have the goals to justify me saying that.
"It was an incredibly hard-working performance and probably the quickest game we've played in this year."
"There is a hell of a long way to go. We have to keep the group together and keep positive. We've got to keep going because we are very much in this race.
"I'm very positive in my outlook and we have to show the spirit and desire to go for the next game.
"Give Bournemouth all the credit, we are not looking to make any excuses. They were very good on the night, especially in the first half and took their goals well."
