Harry Styles Announces Solo Single Release Date—and It's Really Soon!
The excitement just keeps coming for One Direction fans. Yesterday, we swooned over the first pictures of Liam Payne's son, and now Harry Styles is giving us the scoop on his baby—an upcoming solo track!
Styles kept things mysterious as he announced his debut solo project. The 23-year-old singer aired a commercial in the U.K. on March 25 to tease his upcoming single. The short clip features Styles walking through a dark, smoky room while a piano melody plays, and it shows him opening a light-filled door at the very end. The only text throughout the whole commercial is "April 7th"—a debut date that is less than two weeks away!
This is a day 1D fans have been waiting for ever since the beloved boy band broke up in 2016. Since the split, Styles' bandmate Zayn Malik has launched a lucrative solo career (including his latest song with PARTYNEXTDOOR), and we're willing to bet that Styles will find similar success. After all, he is arguably one of the biggest heartthrobs of the former boy group.
RELATED: Meet Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole's New Baby!
Hopefully Styles gives us more details about his debut single—maybe a teaser or two? Otherwise, it will be a long wait until April 7!
Will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Give Their Baby a Traditional Royal Name?

How to tell if a new music video is a commercial or a parody
In the past week, it has become increasingly apparent that a new artist's music videos are simply not going to be a hit, and not necessarily because they are parody.
For the most part, the commercial video isn't that different than the actual music video.
While some of the artists may be trying to parody themselves, others are simply trying to make a point about the fact that they are still young, and want to be recognized.
If the videos are successful, though, the producers are going to have to be creative in their next effort.
"We're in this new age where it's more about the brand now," says Mark Wahlberg, the rapper who starred in the music video for The Chainsmokers' "Love Me Harder."
"We want to go after people who want to buy the album, but not the music.
It's like a pop song: You're going to pay more than it's worth.
It can't be true.
If you watch a commercial, you know what's in it, but if you watch the music, you can't tell if it's real or not." "
It's not like, 'Oh, it's just a commercial.'
If you watch a commercial, you know what's in it, but if you watch the music, you can't tell if it's real or not."
"When a kid gets a record deal, they want to see that they're going somewhere, and that they can be the next big thing," says Wahlbucke, the producer behind the music videos for Taylor Swift and Drake.
"I was like, Well, if I get paid to do this, I'm going to make this music video."
The truth is, the music industry has a long way to go before it's the same.
"The commercial is still the biggest segment of the music business," says Jon Schafers, a senior analyst at Forrester Research.
"People want to hear that there's a lot of money, and a lot more money for their music."
Even if the music is successful, it may not be what a parent or a child wanted.
"If you are really young, you don't need to worry about whether you're a success," says Schafer.
"You just need to enjoy your time in front of the TV."
It's not just about making a buck.
It also depends on the type of music video that you're making.
"There are so many things that go into the commercial," says Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
"For example, you need to be able to sell tickets and be able walk around the set."
It could also depend on how much time the producers have to make their video.
"Even if you make a lot, you have to take care of your wardrobe," says Shafers.
"Do you need a makeup artist?
Or do you want to get someone to make your hair?
You have to have the right crew to do it."
But if the videos aren't selling, it can't hurt to look to the future.
"What I think we're seeing is that the industry has become a much more competitive place," says Hennig.
"That's why I think that a lot younger people are trying to get in.
I think the big thing is, we're going into a world where you can make a living in the industry, and if you don-want to, it doesn't matter if you're in a commercial."

Mediahuis Luxembourg, nommé Saint-Paul Luxembourg jusqu'en 2021, est le principal éditeur de presse luxembourgeois, basé à Luxembourg. Il publie notamment le quotidien Luxemburger Wort fondé en 1848, qui est le plus important et le plus ancien quotidien du Grand-Duché.

Histoire

Origines
La «  » (soit en français : Saint-Paul Société anonyme) est fondée par un acte notarié du , pour la diffusion de la presse catholique, à Luxembourg et est autorisée à exercer par le Gouvernement du Luxembourg en . Sous la forme d'une société anonyme et avec un captal de , le premier directeur est le prêtre .

La nouvelle structure vise à reprendre l'édition et l'impression du quotidien catholique Luxemburger Wort existant depuis 1848, le principal journal du pays. Son contrôle fait l'objet de dissensions entre le comité de rédaction et l'imprimeur dans les années 1879 à 1884. Après le lancement du journal le , trois jours après l'abolition de la censure, comme un organe populaire et d'opposition au pouvoir, il est imprimé successivement chez différents imprimeurs, et fait fréquemment l'objet de poursuites judiciaires de la part des milieux gouvernementaux. À partir du  je journal est produit dans l'Imprimerie Saint-Paul.

Contrôle
À l'origine,  du capital social sont alloués à l'imprimeur Jean Hary et au fils de son épouse, Louis Held, secrétaire épiscopal, Jean Hary ayant fait apport en nature de son imprimerie préexistante.

Dès le , le contrôle majoritaire de la société passe par succession d'abord à l'évêque de Luxembourg, puis à l'évêché quand celui-ci obtient la personnalité juridique. À la fin du , l'archevêché est détenteur, directement et indirectement, de la totalité du capital qu'il céde en  au groupe de presse international Mediahuis, éditeur notamment de quotidiens en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et en Irlande.

La ligne éditoriale conservatrice et les positions politiques et idéologiques souvent prononcées du quotidien édité, combinée à la position dominante de celui-ci sur le marché national, ont un effet polarisant dans la société luxembourgeoise, qui s'est toutefois estompé au fil du temps.

Diversification
En 1915, le nom de la société devient bilingue, devenant en parallèle  et Imprimerie Saint-Paul, en abrégé ISP. L'entreprise est entre-temps devenu le principal imprimeur du pays de même que le premier éditeur de livres et d'organes de presse luxembourgeois (quotidiens et hebdomadaires, dans différentes langues). Vers la fin du  et à la suite d'importants investissements, ses ateliers desservent une importante clientèle étrangère (rotation journal, rotation magazine, impression en feuilles, façonnage, reliure, création publicitaire etc.).

En parallèle, le groupe s'oriente graduellement aussi vers d'autres médias (radio, production vidéo, information et communication en ligne) et prend des participations dans les pays voisins. En 2000, elle adopte la dénomination de Saint-Paul Luxembourg SA. À cette époque, l'entreprise emploie 960 salariés (sans inclure les porteurs de journaux) et compte parmi les vingt principaux employeurs du pays.

Avec ses filiales la société se présente comme le Groupe Saint-Paul, mais puisque le quotidien Luxemburger Wort est resté à tout moment, et de très loin, le principal produit du groupe, le public luxembourgeois identifie celui-ci, pars pro toto, sous la désignation d'Wort.

Grâce au nombre de ses abonnés, le quotidien reste dans la société luxembourgeoise le medium d'information le plus populaire et le plus influent ainsi que le support publicitaire le plus important.

Contraction
Au , Saint-Paul Luxembourg a graduellement réduit ses activités en ordre principal à l'édition et à la production de son quotidien phare, abandonnant notamment le quotidien francophone La Voix du Luxembourg et le journal gratuit Point 24, de même que la plupart de ses périodiques et publications, sauf toutefois le magazine populaire Télécran et l'hebdomadaire en langue portugaise Contacto. À noter cependant que l'offre en ligne du quotidien se présente en quatre langues pour tenir compte de la situation cosmopolite du Grand-Duché.

Mais les activités périphériques, comme les travaux d'impression pour des tiers, l'édition de livres, la chaîne de librairies, les activités de radiodiffusion et de production vidéo, ont été abandonnées ou réduites à la partie congrue.

En mars 2019, François Pauly devient président du conseil d'administration du groupe Saint-Paul Luxembourg.

Le , l'activité d'édition de livres (Éditions Saint-Paul) est arrêtée et reprise par les . En mai 2020, Saint-Paul Luxembourg est vendu au groupe de presse belge Mediahuis. Un an après son rachat, le groupe devient officiellement Mediahuis Luxembourg en .

The BSA has always had a strong civic presence. There are so many ways in which our members use their design skills to improve our communities—getting involved in 50+ BSA grassroots committees; serving on local and state boards; and working with nonprofits and our partners, the BSA Foundation and AIA Massachusetts.
The past year has challenged us to re-examine our core ethical values as professionals. We have reaffirmed what we stand for, what we have accomplished, and what we hope to accomplish. We will work with the City of Boston to help implement Imagine Boston 2030, the first city-wide masterplan in 50 years. We will help maintain Massachusetts' role as a national leader in climate change, affordable housing, mass transit, and social equity.
1. Design excellence is at the core of everything we do as architects. It broadens our perceptions of personal and social possibilities, and it inspires our thinking about the world around us.
2. Social cohesion and equity: Planning and design can help communities make informed choices that address existing inequities of race and class. Design excellence in the service of social cohesion and equity creates flourishing spaces and flourishing people.
3. Environment and Climate Change: Design buildings and cities that meet the challenges of environmental degradation and global climate change and strive for the goal of a carbon-free future.
4. Resiliency: Plan and design for newly understood risks, especially the flooding caused by climate change and sea-level rise that threaten all Massachusetts coastal communities.
5. Housing: Increase housing supply and reduce housing costs in greater Boston, especially at affordable levels, to address inequality and strengthen our joint economic future.
6. City and Regional Planning: Participate in re-planning the physical form of greater Boston for economic, environmental, and social changes over the next 10–30 years.
7. Improving Practice: Help architects and firms navigate the changing nature of practice, remedy patterns of racial and gender inequality within the profession, and expand public interest / pro bono design services.
Here is the full document adopted by the Board. In the coming year I will use Currents to report regularly on the BSA's public policy agenda for 2018, describing some of the many activities through which our committees, our members, our board, our staff, and our partners at the BSA Foundation and AIA Massachusetts are putting these principles to work.


I took a walk to Plenty River Trail in Viewbank this afternoon. There's this magnificent gum tree just behind North Eastern Horse & Pony Club, which was introduced to me recently by my friend.
I should have come in the morning. Unfortunately it started to rain heavily and I had to abandon this one. It's a very peaceful walk, though.

Osteoarthritis (OA) accounts for more disability among the elderly than any other disease and is associated with an increased mortality rate. The prevalence in Europe will rise in the future since this continent has a strongly ageing population and an obesity epidemic; obesity and age both being major risk factors for OA. No adequate therapeutic options, besides joint replacement, are available, although they are greatly needed and should be acquired by adequate research investments. However, the perspective on OA from a researcher's point of view is not always aligned with the perspective of a patient with OA. Researchers base their views on OA mainly on abnormalities in structure and function while patients consider OA as a collection of symptoms. In this viewpoint paper, we discuss the possibility of translating the most important clinical problems into pathophysiological research goals to facilitate the translation from bench to bedside and vice versa. This viewpoint is the outcome of a dialogue within the 'European League Against Rheumatism study group on OA' and People with Arthritis/Rheumatism across Europe (PARE) representatives.
Patient perspective
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a huge and ever increasing problem
OA is the most prevalent joint disease and accounts for more disability among the elderly than any other disease. It is estimated that OA affects about 40 million people in Europe.1 ,2 OA can affect each and every joint but is most common in the knee, hip, spine and hand. Clinically, it is characterised by joint pain, limitation of movement, tenderness, stiffness, crepitus and various degrees of inflammation. OA is considered a disease of the whole joint organ; structural changes include cartilage fibrillation, fissures, full thickness loss of articular cartilage, osteophyte formation, changes in the subchondral bone plate, synovitis and fibrosis in synovium or capsule.
To provide exact numbers on the incidence and prevalence of disease is a difficult task. A major cause of this is the fact that radiographic changes are not always associated with joint pain and vice versa. Moreover, OA is generally a slow progressive disease. Epidemiological studies are difficult to compare due to differences in study population and disease criteria. OA is relatively infrequent in people under the age of 40 years but definitely increases with age. Under the age of 45 years, women are less affected than males, but this gender difference reverses above 45 years. Europe has an increasingly ageing population as well as an obesity epidemic; old age and obesity are both major risk factors for OA. Since currently no therapeutic options other than pain control and joint replacement are available, the burden of OA will continue to rise in the coming decades.
Absence of effective pharmacological treatment
Analgaesics, ranging from paracetamol and opiates to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and intra-articular hyaluronan, are prescribed for treating pain but their effect is often small (mean effect-size from 0.15 to 0.30) and in many patients not sufficient. Osteoarthritic joints that show signs of inflammation are often treated with intra-articular corticosteroid. Another very important opportunity in OA management is change in lifestyle, mainly by increasing physical activity and improving physical condition, for example, by weight loss. Trials are ongoing with newer treatments for joint pain that are promising but sometimes with limitations due to unexpected drawbacks, for instance, unexpected rapid disease progression in some patients treated with an anti nerve growth factor strategy.3
Treatment of structural disease progression in OA joints is still a big challenge. Nutraceuticals, symptomatic slow acting drugs for OA (SYSADOAs) and viscosupplementation are prescribed with this aim in mind, although there is little evidence to fully support this claim. Studies with strontium ranelate show effects on joint space width, but the clinical relevance of the reported small difference and the potential cardiovascular side effects have justified halting its further development for patients with OA.4 Ultimately, joint replacement is the option for patients with severe symptoms and end-stage OA. Joint replacement is a rapidly increasing procedure and over 90% of joints are replaced due to OA. However, this is a costly procedure and is, especially in relatively young people, not a permanent solution. Moreover, around 20% of the patients continue to experience some form of joint pain even after the procedure has been successfully performed. Thus, the unmet needs in patients with OA are high and the development of OA treatments that can both prevent or treat structural break down and improve symptoms is increasingly needed. Personalised treatment, with a patient-specific strategy, requires biomarkers that stratify patients based on OA subtype and specific pathophysiological processes involved, also taking into account that these processes evolve in a personal manner during the progression of disease.
Patient and researcher perspective on OA
As is adequately exemplified by the paper of Kraus et al, the perspective on OA from a researcher's point of view is quite different from the perspective of a patient with OA.5 While the main focus of the researcher is on genes, proteins and cells, signalling, and metabolic pathways and structural aspects, the focus of the patient is on pain, functional limitations, aesthetic damage due to bony proliferations and loss of daily and social activities. A researcher views OA as a 'disease' based on its abnormalities in structure and function originating from biological or (bio)chemical evidence while a patient considers OA as an illness, 'the human response to disease'.6
Starting from basic pathophysiological research questions, researchers have taken major steps in understanding OA. We have come from the opinion on OA as a simple wear and tear process of articular cartilage to a concept of OA as an organ disease in complex interaction with the human body as a whole. Our understanding is increasing enormously and only some general insights can be mentioned here. Genetic studies have shown that specific gene variants (Smad3, Dio2 and GDF5, etc) are associated with OA prevalence and or severity.7 ,8 The role of ageing and cell senescence has been implicated in OA.9 Furthermore, it has been shown that changes in chondrocyte behaviour, such as increased production of proteolytic enzymes, and even most likely changes in chondrocyte differentiation, play a crucial role in degradation of the articular cartilage matrix.10 ,11 These changes in chondrocyte behaviour are governed by changes in activated signalling pathways and changed responses of aged and senescent chondrocytes to these stimuli.12 ,13 Changes in the subchondral bone can predict subsequent symptoms or structural progression, and, recently, it has been shown that not only local joint inflammation but also low-grade systemic inflammation could contribute to the OA disease process.14–16
To gain a further and more robust understanding of processes that occur in OA, it is important to take into account interactions between gene expression, epigenetic regulation and environment in clinically well-defined patients.
Recognition of different OA phenotypes
OA has been historically classified based on joint location but not on the underlying pathophysiological process.17 It becomes more and more clear that OA, even in a specific joint, is better classified according to specific features that are presumably a result of specific underlying disease processes.18 End-stage OA in a particular joint in different patients can be viewed as the final common outcome of a variety of pathophysiological processes that differ, or have differed, between these patients. Classification, not based on location but on the underlying disease process, will be a valuable instrument not only to further elucidate OA pathophysiology and also to optimise clinical trials, in particular patient selection.
Not only might better classification of patients by OA phenotype be a major advance, but improved methods for early detection of OA are of crucial importance as well. As early OA has an extended subclinical disease phase early changes in an OA-affected joint remain under the radar. As a consequence, intervention is invariably delayed until severe, and maybe even irreversible, structural damage has occurred. To improve disease-modifying interventions, methods and strategies have to be developed that can detect early, meaningful and predictive OA-associated changes in the joint and that can track the result of an eventual intervention.
The Osteoarthritis Research Society International definition of OA
OA is a heterogeneous disease and in this viewpoint and preceding discussions within the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) study group, we use the draft definition of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International5 as a working definition. The authors of this definition and the OA study group are fully aware that this definition will be modified according to the further elucidation of OA process(es) and disease phenotypes. Osteoarthritis is a disorder involving movable joints characterised by cell stress and extracellular matrix degradation initiated by micro- and macro-injury that activates maladaptive repair responses including pro-inflammatory pathways of innate immunity. The disease manifests first as a molecular derangement (abnormal joint tissue metabolism) followed by anatomic, and/or physiologic derangements (characterised by cartilage degradation, bone remodelling, osteophyte formation, joint inflammation and loss of normal joint function) that can culminate in illness.5
Translation of clinical problems into pathophysiological research goals
A recent EULAR initiative identified four research priority areas: epidemiology, imaging and biomarkers, pathogenesis and therapy,2 which served as the basis for the first call for projects issued by Foundation for research in rheumatology. In this viewpoint paper, classification of relevant pathophysiological research goals is based on these priority areas (box 1). The research goals that were identified within the study group are not prioritised, as in our opinion the research goals have to be reached in parallel. For example, identification and validation of targets for therapy are not achievable without better insight into the OA pathogenesis and improvement of early detection and disease stratification. Moreover, early detection and disease stratification cannot be accomplished without trustworthy imaging and functional biomarkers.
Major pathophysiological research goals

▸ To identify and elucidate the role of epigenetics in OA phenotypes;
▸ To identify and elucidate the role of mitochondrial genetic variants in OA phenotypes.
Imaging and biomarkers
▸ Identify markers for early OA;
▸ Identify markers for OA phenotypes;
▸ Identify markers for disease activity;
▸ Identify markers for disease progression;
▸ Identify predictive markers of therapeutic response;
▸ Identify markers to evaluate the therapeutic response.
▸ To understand tissue communication in OA (between cartilage, subchondral bone, synovium, vessels, adipose tissue);
▸ To understand non-cartilage pathology in OA;
▸ To understand the role of chondrocyte differentiation in OA;
▸ To understand the role of joint trauma and repair in OA;
▸ To understand the mechanism of mechanical joint injury and the translation to inflammation and repair;
▸ To understand the relationship between synovitis and radiographic progression;
▸ To understand the earliest stages of OA;
▸ To understand the difference between OA phenotypes;
▸ To understand the origins of pain;
▸ To understand the relationship between pain and structure;
▸ To understand the relationship between synovitis and pain;
▸ To understand the relationship between ageing and OA;
▸ To understand the relationship between gender and OA;
▸ To understand the role of systemic factors in OA;
▸ To define the mechanisms by which comorbidities influence the OA process (fat and glucose metabolism).
▸ To identify and validate targets for therapy (symptoms and structure).
Epidemiology is, in a strict sense, not the major methodology of pathophysiological research. However, due to the integration of epidemiology and genetics (genetic epidemiology) and the recognition of different OA phenotypes, research in this area is of high value in bringing together clinical problems, and pathophysiological research goals and understanding. Identification of genetic variants in patients with OA, both genomic and mitochondrial, will identify phenotype-specific pathogenic pathways that will be fundament for phenotype-specific OA therapies. Moreover, elucidation of the role of epigenetic changes in specific OA phenotypes has the potential to provide a roadmap to targeted and patient group-specific therapy.
Identification and validation of imaging technologies and biomarkers is of utmost importance for early disease detection, for classification of OA phenotypes, disease activity and prognosis and for evaluation of therapy response. Imaging and biomarkers should both form a reliable reflection of underlying disease processes. Ideally, a biomarker itself should be an integral part of the actual disease process in OA and a sign of a specific OA phenotype. Identification of OA phenotypes and the response to stratified interventions will most likely depend on the combination of joint imaging and biomarker quantification.
The pathogenesis of OA is far from understood and will be different in the various OA phenotypes. It has become more and more clear that the whole joint is affected in OA and that the different tissues of the joint communicate and influence each other's reactions. To really comprehend the OA disease process, the communication between the various joint tissues should be understood in a phenotype-specific context and be studied in the very early stages of OA development.
In many patient groups, a causal relationship between mechanical changes in the joint and OA is probable. However, the exact role of mechanical (over) load in normal joint physiology and OA is not yet known. Moreover, the role of intrinsic joint repair or failing intrinsic joint repair in OA is still obscure. The relationship between structural joint changes and symptoms, among others, pain, is still an enigma. It is not clear which tissues are the major source of joint pain, perhaps bone or synovium or whether there is a role for products released by damaged cartilage in joint pain.
The relationship between unavoidable factors, such as ageing and gender, and OA phenotype-specific pathophysiology has still to be elucidated. Furthermore, how systemic factors and comorbidities, such as obesity and diabetes, affect the development and progression of OA, needs further insight.
The major goal of pathophysiological research in OA is the identification and validation of targets for therapy. These targets can either be structural targets or symptomatic targets, mainly pain. Ideally, these targets should be combined as a single agent, albeit without ignoring the fact that different OA phenotypes may require different targeted therapies.
This viewpoint article attempts to bridge the gap between major clinical problems of OA with pathophysiological research goals of the OA research community, to facilitate the translation from bed to bench and vice versa. It is anticipated that this article can be a guide for OA researchers, international organisations and funding agencies to facilitate their discussions on directions of research and funding.

Welcome to Back to Basics Nutrition and Fitness.
Welcome to Back to Basics Nutrition and Fitness. My goal is to help you feel and look your best. Change can be tough, but definitely not impossible. Many of my clients say improving their health was much easier than they imagined it would be once they got started. My job is to make the lifestyle changes as painless as possible while still achieving great results. Recently I am noticing a trend with my clients that they have started their journey of adding exercise and trying to eat healthier, but nothing is happening which is why they reached out to me. The majority of the problems are falling into a few categories: Insulin resistance, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and gut issues. Gut issues are a very common problem lately and can be very difficult to navigate on your own. In order to diagnose some of these problems you may need to have tests performed with your doctor. The first test i would recommend is insulin. Most doctors office perform glucose and some will test A1C, but the very first biological change that occurs on the road to diabetes is insulin. This marker can warn you years ahead of time so you can make the necessary changes before you get in real trouble. Even if your blood tests come back "normal" there are clues that your body is giving you that is not functioning efficiently such as fatigue, digestion problems, moodiness, joint pain, etc.
What is health coaching? As a health coach I help my clients navigate the challenges of life from nutritional guidance, stress management, sleep techniques, and lifestyle changes. Many of the problems American's face with their health are created by lifelong habits that our bodies used to tolerate. Over time these habits have created problems such as knee pain due to walking and sitting incorrectly. Skipping meals used to be fine until you find yourself getting dizzy and even falling due to blood sugar. Sleep deprivation was manageable, but now extreme fatigue and difficulty concentrating are affecting your daily life. I help you make these changes AND develop a plan that fits into your life. The next phase is holding each client personally responsible. Making changes is one phase, learning how to implement these changes into your everyday life is where most people struggle.
How is Back to Basics different than other personal trainers? After a decade in the fitness industry teaching a wide range of classes from boot camps to water Pilates I decided to focus on more 1-on-1 training. This change allowed me to dig deeper into the needs of each client and see larger improvements in strength, mobility, balance, and endurance with each client. Creating unique workouts specific to the client from a mix of strength training, Pilates, yoga, cardio, and balance exercises is my strength. Your goal may be increasing strength so you can get out of a chair easier and feel comfortable getting up from the floor when (not if) you fall. Losing weight and reducing inches is often a goal of many clients with the added bonus of increased strength ( confidence), energy level, and reduced pain in joints.
What did 2018 teach you ?

One-third of shelter residents are newly homeless
WASHINGTON -- Almost one in five clients of Christian rescue missions said they were victims of physical violence within the past year, a 6 percent jump from the previous year, according to a new survey.
"It's quite possible that the uptick in physical violence ... is due to a friend or family member's feeling of desperation and helplessness accompanying their unemployment and underemployment," said John Ashmen, president of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM).
The Snapshot Survey of the homeless is conducted annually by AGRM, North America's oldest and largest network of independent homeless shelters and rehabilitation centers.
Almost 19,000 individuals took the survey in October at 114 rescue missions; 17 percent of those surveyed were not currently homeless, but all had received services offered at the missions, such as food and medical care.
Although a quarter of those surveyed said they had been homeless three or more times before, an even higher figure -- 35 percent -- said they had never before been homeless.
Angry churches pull money from big banks
A small but growing number of religious communities across the country are removing their money from Wall Street banks to protest what they see as unfair mortgage foreclosures and unwillingness to lend to small businesses.
The New Bottom Line (NBL) coalition of congregations, community organizations, labor unions and individuals is promoting a "Move Our Money" campaign with the goal of shifting $1 billion from big banks to community banks and credit unions.
"In a way, the banks have divested from our communities, especially communities of color," said the Rev. Ryan Bell, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor in Los Angeles. "So we're basically telling Bank of America that we want them to invest in our communities, and until they do that we're not going to give our money to them."
Bell's church was one of six Los Angeles Christian congregations that announced they would divest a collective $2 million from Bank of America and Wells Fargo as part of the Move Our Money campaign.
Mass changes have liturgists scurrying to craft new music
For the average American Catholic in the pews, the upcoming changes to the text of the Mass might mean little more than memorizing a few new prayer responses.
But when the revised translation of the Mass sweeps into churches across America on the first Sunday of Advent (Nov. 27), it will bring with it a slew of new missals and hymnals -- and perhaps a whole new (or old) style of worship.
Catholics urge civility in politics
WASHINGTON -- Responding to fresh controversy over Mitt Romney's Mormon faith, a group of Catholic elder statesmen on Wednesday called for more civility in politics, saying Catholics have been subjected to similar scrutiny.
Speaking as "Catholic citizens of different political persuasions," the signers urged "not only (that) civility be maintained in the public discourse but that all inclinations to raise the issue of personal religious affiliation be avoided."
The statement comes in the wake of a Dallas megachurch pastor and Rick Perry supporter who called Mormonism a "cult" and said Christians should give preference to Christian candidates.
"Catholics in the U.S. have experienced a long history of discrimination in the political life ... and so as a result, understandably, we Catholics are particularly sensitive to the issue," said Stephen Schneck, a political scientist at the Catholic University of America and an outspoken supporter of President Obama.
The 37 signatories of the statement included several former U.S. ambassadors to the Vatican, retired lawmakers and university presidents.

UK Media Watch prompts improved Daily Mail headline on Gaza girl's death
By Adam Levick on June 17, 2019 • ( 20 Comments )
Last week, we posted about a complaint we filed with the Daily Mail over the following headline accompanying a June 12th Associated Press (AP) article published on their website.
We noted that the initial claim, by anti-Israel media outlets, that Aisha Lulu, a five-year-old from Gaza who died a brain tumour, passed away alone in a Jerusalem hospital because COGAT refused to grant permission for family members to accompany her, was proven to be untrue weeks ago. The claim that authorities denied permission to Aisha's family to accompany her was false, and the girl in fact died in Gaza after she was released, not in the Israeli hospital where she was treated.
Further, the actual Daily Mail/AP article never makes the claim – asserted in the headline – that the girl died alone.
Though editors initially refused to correct the headline, we filed an appeal, which was upheld.
Despite the fact that their new headline ("Sick Palestinian girl suffers lonely end") is, in our view, still problematic, it is, nonetheless, a significant improvement over the original in that it no longer explicitly claims that the child "died alone", and doesn't attribute blame to the "Israeli permit regime".

What a world of lies and recriminations these stories about the death of a child reveal.
The media always seek a scapegoat and tiny Israel, an island of Judaism and democracy is marvellously suitable in a world where identity intersectionalism (not inc Judaism) is this decade's fashion hit
Lloyd Kennedy says:
It's some claim to be a democracy when there are seperate roads for Jews and Arabs in Hebron, a further sixty laws on the statute books pertaining to Arabs only, prohibitive laws of marriage between Arabs and Jews, and civilian courts for Jews but military tribunals for Arabs. This is apartheid, not democracy.

It's some claim to be "The Religion of Peace" or "Progressive" when you look at

Margie In Tel Aviv says:
The roads publicised by troubleseekers lead to different areas of the city. The handful of Jews who live in Hebron are in danger of attack so they live seperately. The road leads to where they live: it is not "Jews only". Understood?
There are no civil marriages in all the ME. So all marriages are religious. Mixed couples marry abroad and Israel accepts the marriage. Why don't you ask other ME states how they handle the problem?
You have been reading antiIsrael websites
Arab citizens of Israel are tried in civilian courts and there are Arab officers of those courts. An Arab judge in fact sentenced an ex President of Israel to jail.

Maccabee says:
What a load of bullshit from a fucking moron.
Apartheid would be the death penalty for people that sell land to Jews – that is a real law.
Oh, lookee here, another garden-variety ignoramus whose sole criterion for veracity is if it somehow finds angles to demonize Israel with whatever propaganda it can spew. Do some research, it can be found in this site, and you'll see that this garbage has been debunked. Of course, it easy and lazy to just blame Israel.
L. King says:
Yes, Jews are not allowed to travel on 97% of the roads in Hebron, which is under the control of the Palestinian Authority. I guess you could say that Palestine is a racist apartheid state – but not Israel.
But really, Lloyd, you can't even get your propaganda right. There aren't "60 laws that pertain to Arabs only". You've mixed up a completely different propaganda meme that you haven't even properly researched. That's just stupidity and laziness on your part.
Similarly you know nothing of marriage laws in Israel which are similar to those in Lebanon and neighbouring Arab states. You're so far off it's not even funny.
And all Israeli citizens are subject to the same laws, regardless of who they are. That's because Israel is a democracy and you're basically an uninformed and lazy propagandist. It's more complicated in Judea and Samaria because Palestinians there are usually not citizens of Israel. One has to apply military law because to apply Israeli civilian law would be the equivalent of annexation.

What are the four behaviors you identified after looking at 1,000 high-performers that are key to producing outrageous results?
We learned that high performers in business, math, sports, science or politics all share the same four characteristics. They are extreme in their beliefs and behaviors. They demonstrate a maniacal focus and discipline for getting things done. They are givers -- intentionally and almost automatically. And they understand the human side of life -- instead of just expecting everyone else around them to be logical, they understand how pain, fear, and failure impact those around them. While each high performer we looked at had clear, distinctive ways that they excelled above their peers, they all share these four qualities.
Why talk about attitudes and philosophies instead of a series of "steps" that people can follow? Aren't "steps" more practical?
Simply copying the successful actions of others has never been a reproducible template for success. Times change. So do tactics. What works for someone else doesn't work for you.
The right attitudes, on the other hand, allows you to explore ideas that otherwise would have just been unthinkable. The "right" actions will always change, but developing the right attitudes have a timeless impact.
Isn't "extreme, by definition, "too much" of a good thing?
No, extreme behavior starts with a mindset change. Being EDGY isn't about shocking those around you with absurd and jerkish behavior. It's about having better attitudes. It is really the core belief that you can achieve success regardless of the obstacles in your way simply through a relentless pursuit of answers. It's a belief that by working hard enough and long enough, there isn't anything that you can't do. When you have that belief system, you look at problems as just another opportunity to be creative.
What lessons did you learn as you studied how successful people demonstrated discipline?
The biggest lesson I learned about discipline is that there are two components: doing and denying. Frankly, it's just a "ticket to the game" to be a doer. The doing kind of discipline is a basic necessity for even amateur achievers. If you can't do what you need to do then you have little chance of being successful at anything, ever.
High performers look at discipline as what you should do, but more importantly, they look at what you shouldn't do. There's a denying characteristic to discipline that high achievers harness. They are willing to do without the pleasantries that mediocre people demand.
Why is giving a part of success? It seems at odds with "achieving".
Giving is first and foremost a mindset. It's an attitude that shapes how you interact with everyone else around you. If every interaction you have is one in which you're the winner (the "taker"), then you aren't really providing any value to the world around you.
Giving makes you valuable and powerful. When you give because of a deeply held gratitude for what you have been given, you create an environment of growth and happiness and achievement with all those with which you interact.
Why is it so important for high achievers to understand human behavior?
Most of life isn't logical. Good people get hurt when they don't deserve it. Bad people win when they least deserve it. If you're expecting life to be logical, you're in for crushing disappointment. High-performers understand that the same irrational behavior they see in others is the exact same way that they are wired to react. This understanding -- this empathy -- enables them to build deeper relationships with those around them. High performers are generally more compassionate and socially aware. They don't tolerate mediocrity in themselves or those around them, but they don't unnecessarily make enemies. They also understand what motivates other people. They use that awareness to motivate other people and build value.
What is one thing that an ordinary person trying to achieve to outrageous success should start doing right now?
It begins with brutal honesty about who you really are. Not what are you doing or what have you done in the past. Who are you? What are your motivations?
You can't be successful and lie to yourself. If you screwed up yesterday or last year or for your entire life so far, admit it and move on. The best way to move forward is to come to grips with where you are right now and make a conscious decision to get better, starting now.

Q: XSLT to pick specific nodes, and parameterizing it from Java I have an XML structure like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package>
    <PackageHeader>yadda yadda </PackageHeader>
     <PackageBody>
      <Element1>foo</Element1>
      <Element2>bar</Element2>
      <ElementN>xyz</ElementN>
   </PackageBody>

I have a requirement where I need to eliminate either Element1, Element2, or ElementN, so I wrote this XSLT,
<xsl:stylesheet version="3.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()[not(self::Element1)][not(self::Element2)]" />
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
I am running this via a simple Java XSL Transformation program. The transformed XML has only elevrything from the orignal XML minus Element1 & Element2. I tried many ways to pass parameters from the Java program to parameterize which nodes should be eliminated, but no luck so far. Any help would be much appreciated.

A: Sounds like a task for XSLT 3 with static parameters and shadow attributes, best used with the Saxon s9api (http://saxonica.com/html/documentation9.9/javadoc/index.html) if that is the processor used:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
    version="3.0">

  <xsl:param name="element-to-be-removed" static="yes" as="xs:string" select="'Element2'"/>

  <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>

  <xsl:template _match="{$element-to-be-removed}"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Q: String Search search a Phrase in a line in any order I am trying to implement a phrase search with match of words in any order.
However any extra words added should say not matched.
For example
"i want pizza"

It should match the following in any case.
"want i pizza"
"i want pizza"
"pizza want i"

But it should not match Any words other than the ones in search string.
It should not match :
"i want a pizza on monday"

Can anyone guide me with this implementation in any JAVA, C# or Python.
Currently i am using MYSQL Full Text Search. But need to implement this solution to avoid mistakes of full text search. If there is any way to do this directly with FULL TEXT Search of MYSQL Please suggest

A: In java something like:
public static void main(String[] args){
   String str = "i want pizza";
   List<String> list = Arrays.asList("want i pizza", "i want pizza", "pizza want i","i want a pizza on monday");
   list.stream()
           .filter(s->Arrays.asList(str.split(" ")).containsAll(Arrays.asList(s.split(" "))))
           .forEach(System.out::println);
}

A: One way to do it in python code is using split and comparison .
A =  "i want pizza"
V = ["want i pizza", "i want pizza", "pizza want i", "i want a pizza on monday"]

A = sorted(A.split())

match = [i for i in V if A == sorted(i.split())]
print match

Output:
['want i pizza', 'i want pizza', 'pizza want i']

A: You can use a hashmap when the key is a word you wish to find and the value is a boolean that says if was found in the sentence or not.
if one of the words was not found or a word in the sentence does not exist return false;
other wise its true:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    System.out.println(scanTheWords("want i pizza") );
    System.out.println(scanTheWords("i want pizza") );
    System.out.println(scanTheWords("i want a pizza on monday") );

}
public static boolean scanTheWords (String sentence)
{
    HashMap<String, Boolean> words = new HashMap<>();
    words.put("i", false);
    words.put("want", false);
    words.put("pizza", false);
    String [] senteceWord = sentence.split(" ");

    for(String s: senteceWord)
    {
        if(!words.containsKey(s))
            return false;
        else
            words.put(s, true);
    }
    for ( boolean b : words.values())
    {
        if(b==false)
            return false;
    }
    return true;
}

}
Output
true
true
false

A: Using python with set:
query = "i want a pizza".split()

l = ["want i pizza", "i want pizza", "pizza want i", "i want a pizza on monday"]`

l = [x.split() for x in l]

print([x for x in l if set(x) - set(query)==set() ])

Output:
[['want', 'i', 'pizza'], ['i', 'want', 'pizza'], ['pizza', 'want', 'i']]

Intellectual Property means the rights resulting from the creations of the human mind. It generally embraces the rights relating to:-
literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, computer programs, databases, drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs;
performances of performing artists, sound recordings and broadcasts;
inventions;
industrial designs;
trademarks, service marks, commercial names and designations;
protection against unfair competition and
all other rights resulting from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields such as lay-out designs of integrated circuits, new varieties of plants (plant breeders' rights), Geographical Indications and undisclosed information including trade secrets.
Intellectual Property is traditionally divided into two categories: (i) Industrial Property which includes patents for inventions, trademarks and service marks, industrial designs and Geographical Indications and (ii) Copyright which covers literary and artistic works. The rights of performing artists, producers of sound recordings and broadcasting organizations are known as the related rights or neighbouring rights.
Intellectual property rights share the characteristics of other property rights – they can be owned, alienated and licensed. They allow the creator or owner of a patent, trademark, or copyright etc. to benefit from his or her own creative work. These rights have been recognized in several International Conventions on Intellectual Property.
Why promote and protect intellectual property?
There are several compelling reasons such as: human creativity is the foundation of human civilization, progress and well-being. The protection of creative efforts encourage further creations, enhances investment and stimulates transfer of technology and spurs economic growth, creates new industries and employment, and enhances the quality and enjoyment of life. Thus, an efficient and equitable intellectual property system can effectively contribute to the economic, technological, social and cultural development. The intellectual property system attempts to achieve a balance between the rights of the creators and the interest of society as a whole, thereby introducing an environment where the creativity in every sphere of human endeavor can flourish, to the benefit of all.
Intellectual Property system in Sri Lanka
The current Intellectual Property system in Sri Lanka is governed by the Intellectual Property Act, No. 36 of 2003 which makes provisions for a variety of Intellectual Property rights and their acquisition, management and enforcement. The National Intellectual Property Office of Sri Lanka established under this law is the only government department, which is responsible for the administration of the Intellectual Property System in Sri Lanka.
Why Patents?
Patents protect inventions and ensure the inventors the benefits resulting from the inventions thereby providing incentives for inventiveness, encouraging further inventions and promoting investment. This will spur the economic and technological development. Patent documents already granted describe newly invented technologies and are available for anyone to refer to. They contain vital information for researchers, inventors and enterprises. who want to keep up with new developments, carry out R&D activities and use new technologies.
What is a Patent?
The State grants the inventor, by means of a patent, a monopoly, i.e. the right to exclude others from making, using and selling the qualified invention for a period of 20 years from the date of application for the patent. The owner of the patent can use, sell or license the patented technology and derive financial benefits.
What is not patentable?
(i) discoveries, scientific theories and mathematical methods;
(ii) plants, animals micro organisms other than transgenic micro organisms and an essentially biological process for the production of plants and animals other than non biological and micro-biological processes;
(iii) schemes, rules or methods for doing business, performing purely mental acts or playing games
(iv) methods for treatment of human or animal body by surgery or therapy and diagnostic methods practiced on human or animal body
(v) inventions which are necessary to protect public order, morality including human animal or plant life, health, or to avoid serious prejudice to environment.
How to Protect Inventions Abroad?
A patent is valid only in the country where it is granted. As Sri Lanka is a member of the Paris Convention for the protection of industrial property, Sri Lankans can obtain patents for their inventions in any member country of the Paris Convention under the national law of the relevant country. Almost all the countries are members of this convention. Applicant can claim priority under the Paris Convention for the protection of Industrial Property in its member countries which means that claiming the effect of initial filing date in subsequent filing in other member states (if filed within 1 year from the date of application in Sri Lanka).
All Sri Lankan nationals or residents can apply under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) administered by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva. You may apply for a patent in many countries (Member Countries of PCT) by filing single application to WIPO. Counties which the applicant intends to file national application later should he designated in the PCT application. PCT filing is a simpler procedure than making several applications in many countries. PCT application has the same effect as a national application filed in the designated countries (For more details log on to www.wipo.int)
