Which Frameworks are used most?
This article is the second in our series based on the Stack Overflow Annual Developer Survey 2019. We've looked at the Most Popular Programming Languages for 2019 so far and will be releasing Most Popular Databases 2019 and Most Popular Development Platforms 2019 over the next few weeks
We'll be looking at the most popular Frameworks, Libraries and Tools here - from which are the most used, the most loved, dreaded and wanted - to how the market is changing.
This year we are looking at a wider selection of frameworks than last year and the Web Frameworks have been separated out from the other frameworks to give a broader analysis. (nb. You'll notice gaps in the charts below where the frameworks hadn't been included in the survey the year before)
So why is the popularity of Frameworks, Libraries & Tools even important?
If you understand which Framework is loved and wanted by other developers it can help you ascertain which you should be learning and which might be right for you and your team. Learning more than one framework can also be of huge benefit for your value in the job market for now and in the future
Most used Web Frameworks
%Change
Web Frameworks, Libraries & Tools
JQuery is the most commonly used Web Framework currently - but React.js is still the one to watch - with more developers moving towards it than Angular and with much more loving, wanting to learn and far fewer dreading it than both Angular and JQuery.
Why is React.js becoming so popular?
It's a lean and efficient library rather than a full framework and allows developers to pick and choose the elements they want
It's loved and wanted by many, and only a small percentage dread it, whilst its usage has increased by 115% last year and again by 4% this year
React has been successful partly due to its open source contributions, frequent releases and the ease with which server-side rendering, progressive web apps and native apps can all be done.
This year React Hooks have been added which should make building React components easier and Suspense for Data Fetching and Concurrent Mode are coming soon.
The React community has created a diverse ecosystem where there is huge flexibility on how you architect React applications and adapt it to suit your business. This flexibility can be hard for new users however but allows React to be used for all manner of unexpected non front-end work such as IoT and AR/VR and is not all about the web anymore
Other Frameworks, Libraries & Tools
Other Frameworks, Libraries and Tools
There are lots of new technologies in this table but Node.js still retains its popularity at the top. .Net appears to be more used than .Net Core and if we're looking at the deeper learning frameworks it seems that TensorFlow is the winner for 2019
Why is Node.js so popular?
Companies of all sizes from LinkedIn, Netflix, PayPal and Uber to small start-ups use Node.js because it is robust, fast, easy to use and learn, and offers great performance.
Its unmatched scalability for websites and web applications is the same across all of the JavaScript frameworks - which are also compatible with Node.js - making this combination the ultimate must-have for developing any product or website. Hence Node.js is mainly used for developing APIs, backend services, Web apps, microservices and websites.
Node.js has regular releases which keep its big customers happy as it is always on track - but not everything in the garden is rosy. Keeping up with security patches has become harder and increasingly vital for cloud service providers. Many developers also appear to face performance and security problems in production (especially with Asynchronous Programming).
Node.js' NPM is also key to its popularity with the largest and ever growing repository of Open Source libraries compared to any other language.
(What does NPM stand for? Most think it stands for Node Package Manager – however many argue that that is incorrect. It's probably not Norwegian Peat Moss, No Paddling Module, Newlywed Party Monsters or any of the other answers you get when you look at the NPM website to check! www.npmjs.co )
And what about .NET?
.Net has remained relevant and useful as the tech landscape has changed. Its open source nature is key alongside its ability to be language neutral and work with pretty much every environment that exists now and probably most of those in the future too.
If you're using cloud technologies .NET is safe - because the code is closed and compiled - whilst allowing you to support and interface with a wide range of systems. It is seen as a reliable framework now by corporations supporting windows, building and deploying server, desktop and mobile apps
Which framework is best?
It isn't really about which framework is the most popular or hottest but which can tackle your problems best. The industry that you work in also makes a big difference coupled with the languages used. The chart below gives an indication as to which framework is likely to be used with which technology so that is probably as good a place to start as any when assessing which framework to use.
It'll be interesting to see the results from the Stack Overflow 2020 survey when there will be more data to compare on the Frameworks, Libraries and Tools - will React.js be the most popular Web Framework by then or will the landscape remain the same?

The idea was to create an independent counterpart to Arpanet, the predecessor of the Internet. The data was still transmitted via a telephone connection using the Unix protocol UUCP. Gradually more computers were integrated into the new network, which was limited to UNIX computers due to UUCP.
The Unix protocol UUCP (Unix to Unix Copy) made it possible to exchange personal messages (e-mail) and participate in public forums – the so-called newsgroups.
For a better overview, these newsgroups were divided into seven main topics. Together with the eighth hierarchy created in 1995, these are called the Big Eight.
(recreational) All topics related to leisure and recreation.
misc (miscellaneous) Anything that can't get anywhere else.
Due to the technical nature of Usenet, these main themes were the only hierarchies for a long time. Although the network had grown to several thousand computers over time, a large part of the data passed through a few central computers. The administrators of these computers therefore had the power to set up new groups.
In the mid 1980s, the Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) was published. This made it possible to exchange data via TCP/IP lines, i.e. via the Internet. Since any news server worldwide can be reached from anywhere via the Internet, the Usenet could be successfully decentralized and the number of news servers grew constantly. In addition, each news server administrator can set up their own newsgroups and offer these to other news servers. In this way further hierarchies were created.
Due to the worldwide distribution of the Usenet, there was also a need for newsgroups in different languages, although English is still the preferred language. In 1992, the German Usenet Hierarchy de.* was created and other language regions also established their own hierarchies.
In addition, many companies became aware of the Usenet and recognized the possibility of using their own news servers to distribute information and organize customer service.
This Usenet hierarchy is wild and somewhat anarchistic, as setting up new groups is fairly easy. That's why there are a lot of newsgroups here. So for example pictures, sound, videos and programs can be posted. These groups are only available on premium servers because of the huge amount of data (about 5000-9000 gigabytes daily), which of course can't be free because of the high infrastructure and line costs.
de.answers.* Frequently asked questions from various newsgroups are published here.
How many news servers there are worldwide is not exactly known. Estimates assume about 6500 servers. The number of newsgroups is about 150000, whereby some newsgroups show no traffic and are removed therefore after some time again. However new newsgroups are added almost daily. The old hierarchy alone currently comprises over 47,000 newsgroups.
None of the major Internet providers in Germany still operates their own news servers today. Their customers are thus dependent on professional news server services – such as Premium News, for example.

Modern successful citizen is forced to spend a lot of time in close offices, surrounded by large number of people. It's understandable that he seeks to compensate for lack of personal space at least at home. If you are unpretentious and interested in space, light and air, you should create loft style apartment. We will suggest some original ideas for its arrangement.
Loft style apartment is ideal for those who have purchased and remodeled under housing former production areas. Moreover, today many developers offer apartments in new buildings, specially designed to implement design in attic style. If your home doesn't belong to these categories, it doesn't mean that it won't suit you.
Obviously, loft style in small apartment is difficult to implement. However, with right approach, you can create attractive and comfortable interior.
It's believed that attic style is best suited to loners. This is indeed so. After all, initially in former industrial shops students and people of creative professions settled. In this regard, you shouldn't be surprised at photos on which, for example, there is bath in bedroom.
In any case, apartment in loft style isn't suitable for families with children. Characteristics of classical attic are absence of any partitions, except for bathroom. For zoning of premises, use of finishing materials with different texture and use screen.
Special wallpaper textures that mimic brick will suit for loft style apartment. You can also obtain original coatings by using special plastering technologies. As a result, walls will look as if they hadn't been repaired for a long time.
Try to finish apartment in loft style with planks. Especially appropriate in this interior look artificially aged lumber. They emphasize certain vintage interior and give it special charm.
Apartment in loft style shouldn't be cluttered. This means that you should use only the most necessary items of furniture. Main one is large and very simple bed. If it's small apartment, then choose option that will perform functions of ottoman. In this case, bed will replace sofa, which will help not overload space of room.
Loft studio also needs kitchen area. As storage systems are suitable industrial cabinets, also replace bar counter by workbench with drawers.
Loft style apartment in terms of decoration should be quite minimalistic. These function suits items that have practical purpose. For example, you can use lamps in attic interior design, representing various variations on Edison lamp theme.
Decorate home in style of loft with help of paintings in different modern styles.

What is a high level mosaic embryo?
What genes are inherited from mother only?
Roughly 20 percent of embryos have both normal and abnormal cells, which are called "Mosaic" embryos.
When fertilized, a mosaic embryo sometimes mistakes in cell division occur and cause abnormal cell lines.
If these abnormal cells persists, it can cause miscarriages or, in some rare occasions, serious birth defects..
There is no definitive scientific research that indicates that Down syndrome is caused by environmental factors or the parents' activities before or during pregnancy. The additional partial or full copy of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome can originate from either the father or the mother.
Mosaic Down syndrome, or mosaicism, is a rare form of Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that results in an extra copy of chromosome 21. People with mosaic Down syndrome have a mixture of cells. Some have two copies of chromosome 21, and some have three.
Children with Down syndrome are children, above all else. As babies they cry and sleep, and as they grow they walk and talk. If you're caring for a child with Down syndrome, you might face some challenges different to other parents.
' Down syndrome is also referred to as Trisomy 21. This extra copy changes how the baby's body and brain develop, which can cause both mental and physical challenges for the baby. Even though people with Down syndrome might act and look similar, each person has different abilities.
However, many individuals can go undiagnosed up into adulthood and there are still thousands who never receive a diagnosis. Mosaic Down syndrome can be found in 1-2% of individuals and is where some of the cells in the body are normal and other cells have trisomy 21.
July 1, 2003 — Older fathers may contribute just as much as older mothers to the dramatic increase in Down syndrome risk faced by babies born to older couples. A new study found that older fathers were responsible for up to 50% of the rise in Down syndrome risk when the mother was also over 40.
There are a list of physical traits that are often found in people with Down syndrome – Small, flat nose, Almond-shaped eyes that have an upward slant, Smaller limbs and body frame, A gap between the first and second toes that is larger than that of a typically developed individual, Low muscle tone, Single deep crease …
Mosaic Down syndrome is caused by a random event shortly after the egg and sperm join together. When cells are dividing, some cells receive an extra copy of chromosome 21. Others do not. People with mosaic Down syndrome have some cells with two and some cells with three copies of chromosome 21.
About 30 percent of females with Turner syndrome have extra folds of skin on the neck (webbed neck ), a low hairline at the back of the neck , puffiness or swelling (lymphedema ) of the hands and feet, skeletal abnormalities, or kidney problems.
Consequently, in the past, Noonan syndrome has been referred to as "male Turner syndrome," "female pseudo-Turner syndrome," or "Turner phenotype with normal chromosomes karyotype." However, there are many important differences between the two disorders.
Using the NDSCR data between the time of CVS and term an estimated 31 per cent (95 per cent CI: 13–64 per cent) of Down syndrome pregnancies end in a miscarriage or still birth, and between amniocentesis and term an estimated 24 per cent (17–34 per cent) end in a miscarriage or still birth.
Is it inherited? Most of the time, Down syndrome isn't inherited. It's caused by a mistake in cell division during early development of the fetus. Translocation Down syndrome can be passed from parent to child.
Approximately 15% of individuals diagnosed with Trisomy 21 Down syndrome are misdiagnosed and actually have mosaic Down syndrome. There are many individuals who are never diagnosed with this condition.
There are three types of Down syndrome:Trisomy 21. This is by far the most common type, where every cell in the body has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two.Translocation Down syndrome. In this type, each cell has part of an extra chromosome 21, or an entirely extra one. … Mosaic Down syndrome.
The vast majority of people with Down syndrome will automatically medically qualify for disability benefits. All people with Down syndrome will qualify for Supplemental Security Income, or SSI. These benefits are only available for the most financially needy applicants.
Because of this, people with mosaic Down syndrome may have fewer characteristics of the condition than people with trisomy 21 Down syndrome. Physical characteristics include: almond-shaped eyes that tend to slat upward. a neck that is shorter than average.
Mosaic is the term now assigned to embryos found to possess both normal and abnormal cells during preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) testing. The testing, typically completed on day five of embryo development, is completed by taking a tiny biopsy of the embryo and examining the genetic makeup of the cell.
Mosaic Turner syndrome (TS) is a condition in which cells inside the same person have different chromosome packages. Mosaic TS can affect any cell in the body. Some cells have X chromosomes and some don't. Every 3 out of every 10 girls with TS will have some form of Mosaic TS.
With this condition, the impairments can vary greatly from one individual to another, so the individual must prove that his or her impairments are indeed disabling. Your mosaic Down Syndrome will be considered using the Blue Book listings for your mental or physical impairments.
Women with Down syndrome are able to have children, but many men with the condition unfortunately are not able to, however it is possible. Women who have Down syndrome are able to have children; they have a 35-50% chance that their baby will have Down syndrome.
Data from more than 40 million births showed that babies born to fathers of an "advanced paternal age," which roughly equates to older than 35, were at a higher risk for adverse birth outcomes, such as low birth weight, seizures and need for ventilation immediately after birth.
When they do have the mix, they are called mosaic embryos. The Dunn twins grew from mosaic embryos. Doctors believe, in some cases, those abnormal cells can self-correct or be pushed to the placenta, leaving the embryo healthy.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES Amniocentesis and CVS are also able to distinguish between these genetic types of Down syndrome: trisomy 21, translocation Down syndrome, and mosaic Down syndrome.
Even with years of estrogen replacement therapy, it's rare for a woman with Turner syndrome to naturally conceive a child. This is because most women with TS have accelerated loss of eggs contained in the ovary.
If fewer than 20 percent of the cells in the blastocyst are abnormal, the embryo is labeled as normal. If 20 to 40 percent of the cells are abnormal, it is considered a low-level mosaic. When 40 to 80 percent of the cells are abnormal, it is labeled a high-level mosaic.
It's Not Only About the Chromosomes The mitochondrial genes always pass from the mother to the child. Fathers get their mitochondrial genes from their mothers, and do not pass them to their children.

Arliene Anderson
A public Celebration of Life for Arliene Anderson will be on Saturday, June 27, 2020 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Pedersen Funeral Home in Morris. Burial was at Artichoke Lake Cemetery.
Arliene Harriet Anderson was born on July 22, 1921 in Akron Township, Big Stone County, Minnesota, to Ralph and Elly (Swenson) Maynard. Arliene attended school in Correll, Minnesota, graduating with the class of 1939. She then attended St. Cloud Teacher's College after which she taught school in Stevens Township, Stevens County, Minnesota. It was during this time she met Carl Anderson of Chokio.
Carl and Arliene were married on October 5, 1947 at the Odessa Immanuel Lutheran Church. Until 1953, Carl and Arliene farmed on the farm now owned by their son, David; they raised grain, hogs, dairy cows, and chickens. During this time, Arliene was very busy tending to her babies. She and Carl had five children in 27 months – two sets of twins! They later bought and moved to a farm just one mile away. Arliene was also a 'farmer,' helping Carl with chores and fieldwork. In 2004, they retired and moved into Morris.
Arliene was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Chokio where she was active in Our Savior's Women. After moving to Morris, they joined Faith Lutheran Church. Arliene was also a member of the Till and Tell Garden Club and was a 4-H Leader. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, crafts, gardening, canning, and most importantly, spending time with her family.
Arliene died on Friday, March 6, 2020 at West Wind Village in Morris, MN. She was 98 years old.
Arliene is survived by her children: Carleen (Olyn) Wernsing of Villard, David (Ruth) Anderson of Chokio, Diana (David) Ferris of Alexandria, Linda (Mary) Anderson of Morris, Paul Anderson of Fargo, and Greta (Scott) Fox of Las Vegas, NV; grandchildren: April (Brent) Bauman, Jennifer Anderson, Shane (Kim) Wernsing, Meredith Anderson, Lori (Don) Garner, Tyler (Corinne) Wernsing, Nathan Anderson, and Amanda (Steve) Sombrano; many great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter; sister, Doris; and several nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband, Carl; son, Lynn; sisters: Faye, Audrey, Shirley, and Phyllis; infant brother, Ralph; and brothers-in-law.
Pedersen Funeral Home in Morris is in care of arrangements for Arliene. To send condolences to the family, on-line, visit www.pedersenfh.com.

A True Story of Women & Gangs
Pip Desmond
Pip Desmond is a freelance writer, editor and journalist who has spent most of her working life in the community sector, both paid and unpaid. In 2000, she became Labour Minister Ruth Dyson's press secretary before doing an MA in Creative Writing at the acclaimed International Institute of Modern Letters at Wellington's Victoria University in 2006, where she wrote the first draft of Trust: A True Story of Women and Gangs. The book recounts her experiences in her early 20s as a member of Aroha Trust, a work cooperative for gang women in Wellington, where she learnt to paint and renovate houses, cut scrub, and lay cats-eyes on the city streets. Trust was the winner of the NZSA EH McCormick Best First Book: Non Fiction at the 2010 NZ Post Book Awards. As part of the Ministry of Culture and Heritage's war oral history programme, Pip has interviewed Korean War veterans, and compiled selections of these interviews with photographs in The War That Never Ended: New Zealand Veterans Remember Korea (2013). Pip has also worked as a bus driver, barmaid, caterer and cleaner. She is married with three children and three beautiful grand-children.
The NZ Post judging panel described Trust as 'an extraordinary work from someone with unparalleled and probably unrepeatable access to women in gangs', and 'a potent combination of oral history and memoir' that 'packs a powerful punch'. Convenor Stephen Stratford said, 'I don't think anyone will again be in a position to write a book with such inside knowledge of what the life is like. She's known these women for years and they obviously trust her a lot and shared things with her they wouldn't with anyone else, so it's a real one of a kind, this book.'

The Mokele-mbembe, from the country of Congo in Africa, resembles a small, water-dwelling dinosaur. The only evidence supporting its existence are footprints. Like the Ngoubou, it has been seen by the natives to the region (pygmies, in this case). The pygmies once actually killed and ate a Mokele-mbembe, and all who ate it soon perished.
The Mokele-mbembe looks like a small sauropod dinosaur. When showed images of animals, pygmies living in the are it has been seen point out Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus and call them "Mokele-mbembe", without failure. It lives in both land and water, particularly swamps.
Aside from a hoax, the Mokele-mbembe is thought to be a living sauropod, evolved to amphibious life. Others have proposed the idea of some form of plesiosaur.

I consider this place as my hometown, although I only spent less than a third of my life growing up there, after I was born. Kedah, is one of Malaysia's two states neighbouring Thailand. Minus Langkawi, the famous duty free island, there are very few recommended places for travel in this state. The state is known for its rice production; giving you an immediate access to the beauty of rice fields – either you ride a train or on a bus/car, it seems like the rice fields are almost everywhere.
I spare the story about rice fields in another entry. There is a place in Kedah that I have visited several times (there is a special travel video made for this), which recently had surprised me with a completely different view. It changes the image I had before about this place.
A forty minutes drive from the second largest city of Kedah, Tanjung Dawai is well-known among the locals for its seafood products – especially their belacan, dried anchovies, dried and salted fish as well as dried shrimps. It is actually a humble and small fishing town. Since its sea area are mainly for the fishermen and boats, the beach here is definitely not a place for you to throw yourself into. Instead, you would experience mud flats and clean seaside area – a perfect spot for you to be amazed by the beauty of the sea.
During the evening, alongside the seaside, the seafood restaurants will begin to switch on their lights and calling for customers. Many would go there before dusk to watch sunset while dining at the restaurants. My parents love to bring my siblings and I to Tanjung Dawai for seafood; freshly supplied by the local fishermen, cheap and undoubtedly tasty.
Usually we do not wait for sunset, but the view of the sea and the horizon at dusk has never failed to impress me. However, my last visit to that place really surprised me. The sun was a bit shy, as the sky had been mildly covered by clouds. The usual dusky scenery there would include birds flying back home, an almost yellowish and greyish sky as the sun begin to descend down to the horizon as well as the calm wide open sea in front.
Honestly, I could not actually find the right word to describe that evening. I have never seen so many variations of the colour blue for both the sky and the sea. The moment I was entering the car, it made me realized how things could be so easily taken for granted – just like this place. I was excited when I first came to Tanjung Dawai few years back, and of course since it has become a balik kampong routine, the concept of observing more of the nature had slowly faded as I was looking forward to the seafood experience with family more.
For those who happened to stop by in Sungai Petani or are in the Merbok area to visit the Lembah Bujang Archeological Site & Museum, make sure you make a short trip to Tanjung Dawai, especially in evening.

Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon is the twenty-fifth in a series of direct-to-video films based upon Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoons. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 9, 2016, preceded by a Digital HD release on July 26.
The film was made due to the success of the home video sales of the twenty-first direct-to-video film, Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery, released two years before.
Scooby-Doo and the gang meet old and new friends alike, when the wrestlers of the WWE turn to off-road racing. But while out on the road, they meet the monster racer, Inferno.
Shaggy and Scooby are operating a food truck while the WWE Muscle Moto X is underway. The racers are going through the time trail to determine the order for the first part of the 3 day race. Among them is the Too Awesome by the Miz and Paige, the Celtic Cruiser by Sheamus, Goldust and Stardust, the Pamplona Especial by the Los Matadores and the Moscow Express by Team Russia. Paige is annoyed by Miz's ego, Sheamus is not too keen on teaming up with Goldust and Stardust and Team Russia is determine to win for Mother Russia. Mr. McMahon makes an interview with Micheal Cole, McMahon explains that the whole race was his daughter Stephanie's idea, Micheal asks his favorite to win and guess that it's his daughter and her husband Triple H, but McMahon says that she's too busy back at WWE. However, they saw a replay by Stephanie and Triple H as the Authority in the Company Car as they are in the race, much to McMahon's annoyance who finishes the interview. Shaggy and Scooby close up to watch the Undertaker begin his time trail. They join up with the rest of the gang eating DC pretzels which stand for "Dead Mans Curve" cause the pretzels are an exact copy of the route. The Legendmobile shows up with Team Legends Dusty Rhodes and the Undertaker himself, although Shaggy and Scooby are fans they find him scary in real life. As they're going down the track, another car storms in on the track pursuing the Legendmobile, the driver is a ghost with red skin proving he's no superstar. The rig uses a mechanical scorpion tail to crash the Legendmobile. The team is unharmed, but the demon reveals himself as Inferno and warns them to end the race. As a response Dusty attacks the demon, but he throws him down injuring him. Inferno escapes, but the Undertaker vows to make him pay.
Dusty's unable to race until he recovers but states that he won't give up on his dream of using the money reward for the race to buy his grandchildren a ranch. WWE reporter Kofi Kingston asks Undertaker if he'll withdraw, but he answers no that he'll find the demon and take him down. Shaggy and Scooby attempted to leave, but Mr. McMahon offers them the task of stopping the demon and Fred accepts.
That night they went on the track where the Demon Rig escaped, but found that the tracks don't lead anywhere. Velma does research on Marauders Mountain where in the 1930's there used to be races on the mountain in homemade hotrods. One day there was one driver who challenged them all and he was rather ruthless. But when he approached Dead Mans Curve, he was too late to stop and he fell down to his demise, but they say his ghost still haunts the mountain. Fred finds something different in the dirt and Velma identifies it as brimstone. At that moment the producer of the race Walter Qualls shows up and tells them to keep the mystery going as it means great publicity, but Fred refuses.
They headed into the garage where the superstars are checking the engines for the race, they split up to ask them about the demon. Shaggy and Scooby ran into the Undertaker who recognizes them as Skinny Man and Dead Meat who defeated the Ghost Bear. Although they were afraid of him at first, they see that he's not that scary. El Torito suddenly climbs on Scooby's back amusing everyone. Velma asked Diego and Fernando, but they deny to have any reason to stop the race as they do it for the matador's honor. Fred and Daphne met up with Triple H who introduces Stephanie to them. Stephanie and Daphne immediately take a liking to each other, although Velma doesn't exactly. Mr. McMahon shows up and disaproves Stephaine competing for the race, but she's determine to prove that she can think of Muscle Moto X, plan it and win it. Qualls then announces that dinner's ready which gets Shaggy and Scooby's attention.
Shaggy and Scooby see the case with the million dollar prize for the race and talk about what to buy with it. Dusty is annoyed that Qualls is going on with the race despite the demon and leaves. Taker understands his feelings and says that he's out as well. Qualls is against this, but Stephanie walks by and says that Scooby and Shaggy would make great teammates. Qualls accepts this right away, McMahon offers them the chance, and although they're both scared and happy they accept.
The gang and Taker meet Big Earl who customize all the cars who's annoyed that he's paying for his kids in college. He shows them that the Legendmobile is in pieces and all that's left is the wheel. Fred offers to give Earl a hand in giving Taker new wheels. They also find powder on Earl's shoulder which Velma says it's talcum powder that they use in airbags. Staphanie and Triple H leave to get manicures and invites Daphne's to join them to Velma's dismay.
Fred worked with the mechanics all night and makes quite an impression of them.
The next day was the first day of the Muscle Moto X. The first leg will take them past the Deadwood Forest, they'll use sky drone camera's to keep an eye on the race from the air. Team Takers new wheel happens to be the food truck Shaggy and Scooby worked in now called "The Scoobinator". Undertaker isn't sure about it being a food truck, but Shaggy and Scooby don't have any problem with it. Fred's very sleepy from working all night and falls asleep right before he could tell him how to get more speed. The race began with the cars taking off, but the Scoobinator is going way too slow much to Taker's annoyance. Kofi Kingston rides on one of the drones to follow the superstars and see's Team Russia has already took damage, but each superstar is equipped with magnetic boots to make repairs as the race goes on. El Torito jumps on the hood of the Celtic Cruiser causing Sheamus to go off road while El Torito gets back on the Pamplona Especial safely. Sheamus is annoyed by Goldust and Stardust that he tells them to get lost and to his surprise, they disappeared. The Company Car takes the lead and Daphne is cheering Stephanie on with Velma reminding her that Shaggy and Scooby are in the race as well. The Russians hit the Too Awesome, but Miz doesn't do anything about and just brags about himself annoying Paige. The Demon Rig shows up again just before they could reach Deadwood Bridge which Inferno sets on fire. The superstars waste no time and make it past the burning bridge safely. The Rig goes after the Company Car, Kofi tries to get in close, but the drones got messed up when he tried. Daphne fears for Stephanie, but Velma notices that Mr. McMahon hasn't appeared in any of the cameras. Daphne wakes up Fred who shouts to push the red button on the dashboard. The Scoobinator approaches the burning bridge and while cowering, Scooby pushes the red button and boasters emerge from the rear and the truck takes off like a rocket. They make it across the bridge safely and quickly catch up to the Demon Rig, but Inferno creates a smoke screen and vanishes. The Company Car crosses the finish line first, followed by the Scoobinator in second and the Pamplona Especial in third. Sheamus angered that he lost is surprised to find the brothers returned, but didn't say where they went.
At dinner, Micheal and Kofi gives interviews with the superstars, Stephanie and Triple H won the 30 second head-start for the next race, Lana is outraged that they lost and openly mocks Rusev angering him, Team Taker is praised for taking second place despite their setbacks, Miz is once again bragging about himself and how Paige was terrible. Outraged, Paige gets into a wrestling fight bringing Triple H, Rusev and Lana in as well. Mr. McMahon breaks up the fight and the superstars complain about their teammates and McMahon puts Rusev and Miz in the Moscow Express and Lana and Paige in Too Awesome. Dusty oversees everything with Goldust and Stardust and thinks the curse of the demon is just beginning. Velma suggests that they could look for clues, but Daphne has plans to talk to Stephanie about employment opportunities at the WWE as a wrestle-wear designer. Velma acts bitter about this and Daphne doesn't know why.
Later that night, Shaggy and Scooby run out of food while sleeping and go to the Scoobinator to make sandwiches. They spot Inferno on the hood of the Company Car and pursues them when they spot him. Miz is out jogging when he intercepts the demon determine not to get mauled like he did before. They engage in a match waking everyone else. When Miz used his Figure-four-leg lock on Inferno, but he retaliates, knocks him down and disappears. Miz couldn't believe that he got out of it fearing he's losing his awesome.
Earl examines the Company Car and the only damage was that the oil line was cut while the other cars were ok. Undertaker praise Shaggy and Scooby for stopping the demon from sabotaging the other cars and Velma finds talcum powder on the ground. Triple H answers that he changed the airbags right after the race. McMahon tries to talk Stephanie out of the race, but she wouldn't back down cause she's driving the next race.
The second leg of the race begins with the Company Car getting a 30 second head start, Lana and Paige are in the Too Awesome and Rusev and the Miz in the Moscow Express. As they head out, the gang saw Mr. McMahon leave wondering where he's going.
Sheamus gets rammed after getting distracted by the brothers and they disappear once more. The racers approach the end of the road by the river, but the cars are rigged to drive on water. As the race continues on water, Paige realizes that Lana is holding back so Rusev can win. Suddenly the Demon Rig emerges from the water and begins attacking the Celtic Cruiser with the Scorpion Tail causing it to fall behind. It turns it attention to the Too Awesome, seeing Lana in trouble, he sacrifices his position to save her. The Rig goes after the Company Car, Triple H gets out to brawl with Inferno. He's knocked back into the Company Car and the Scoobinator attacks the Rig. They came upon a fork in the river and the Scoobinator and the Demon Rig take the wrong route, the Rig destroys the engine with the Scorpion Tail and to make matters worse they were heading right for a waterfall. Kofi tries to help, but Inferno causes his drones to crash, although Kofi survives with the camera. The rest of the racers return to the land and the Company Car finishes in first place once again, but Kofi shows that Team Taker's in danger. Undertaker grabs a link of sausages. The Scoobinator goes over the falls and explodes. When it seemed that Team had died, they find that they survived by using the sausages as a lasso. Everyone is relieved that they're ok, but the gang notices that the demon is getting more dangerous. They go over the suspects, Mr. McMahon is nowhere to be found and Big Earl since he needs money.
That night, the racers had a meeting and Mr. McMahon states that the show will go on despite Inferno. Team Taker is disappointed that they're out, especially Taker who wanted to use his share of the prize money to create a puppet show. Stephanie announces that The Authority gets another head start, but the other superstars are disgusted that they won twice even though the demon showed up and Stephanie announces that they won't use the head start for the final race after all. The gang asks McMahon where he went for the two races, but he was rather upset that they consider him a suspect and assures them that he's innocent, but Velma is unsure.
Daphne attempts to comfort Stephanie about her father, but she says that he works them hard because their family and she worked harder than anyone to impress him. Daphne says that her father is a wealthy businessman too, but could never work for him, but it didn't make Stephanie feel better cause she's frustrated about the race.
Daphne tells this to Velma who warns her that Stephanie may turn on her, but she doesn't mind cause Velma's her real best friend pleasing her.
Shaggy and Scooby play toro with El Torito, glad that they won't have to race, but they spoke too soon when they see that the Mystery Machine is their new car for the race.
The final leg of the race will take them to Mauraders Mountain and back to the first starting line. The rest of the gang goes with them for the final race as they have an idea to stop Inferno. They found that the drones from the previous races have been disrupted meaning that the Demon Rig could be operated by remote control, but when he shows up for the final race, they're going to override his signals and stop him. As the race begins up the mountain, Sheamus begins to like the brothers who were playing bagpipes, the Company Car takes the lead when the Demon Rig shows up again and knocks the Mystery Machines parachute off making it going down Dead Mans Curve more dangerous. One by one the Rig knocks the cars aside, when it goes for the Too Awesome, Lana orders Rusev to take the Demon Rig leaving Miz in the Moscow Express and Lana joins him abandoning Paige. They were knocked off the Rig and landed on the Moscow Express, they knock Miz out and lands on the Too Awesome. Miz and Paige decided to take down the demon and texts the others to join in. They all work to stop the demon. Sheamus climbs aboard the Rig with the Celtic Sword and slices off the scorpion tail, when he attempts to attack Inferno, he knocks him off and everyone gets left behind. The Mystery Machine gets past them and Fred attempts to disrupts his signals, but he drops the remote out the window. Undertaker decides to face down Inferno personally and has Shaggy and Scooby to drive. As they wrestle, Fred tells them to stay on Inferno, but they aren't sure about it, but Daphne increases their confidence by reminding them that the DC pretzels are an exact copy of the route. As they drive off Dead Mans Curve the Rig and the Company Car's parachutes pop out and the Mystery Machine fires cables to the Rig saving them. The weight between the two vehicles cause the Rig to fall faster, the Mystery Machine takes the lead. Inferno jumps on the Mystery Machine while Undertaker takes control of the Rig. The Mystery Machine finishes first and flings Inferno away after coming to a screeching halt. The Rig finishes second and Taker wastes no time resuming to fight Inferno. Inferno recovers after being knocked down, but Taker grabs him and performs the Tombstone Piledriver on him knocking him out cold.
Inferno is unmasked as Triple H, the gang suspected he had to be a superstar when he broke out of Miz's wrestling hold, but he wasn't the only behind all of this and they all looked at Stephanie who didn't deny it. Paige doesn't get it cause they were both seen in the car during the races, but what they saw was an inflatable airbag dummy. Stephanie was driving the Company Car with remote motion control gear so she could drive while siting in the passengers seat while Triple H controlled the Rig with the same gear. But at the second race they swapped positions in cause anyone suspected Triple H. When Inferno cut the oil line he was really swapping the airbags between the dummies which explained the talcum powder, he only cut the line to cover his tracks when Shaggy and Scooby saw him. Mr. McMahon explains that he wasn't at the races because he was practicing the national anthem which he plans to sing at the closing ceremony. Stephaine says that the reason she did it was to show her father that she could win and make Muscle Moto X a huge success. He tells her that he always knew she could and that the only reason he didn't want her to race was that he didn't want her to get hurt. But he still turns them over to the authorities, but is confident that they'll learn their lesson and his lawyers will have it sorted out in a day since the couple really are that darn good.
Team Taker wins the money, Undertaker will use his share to create his puppet show, but Shaggy and Scooby decided to give their share to Dusty for his American dream. Dusty is really thankful and that he feels all better. Lana and Rusev give them flowers as a sign of good sportsmanship. Taker announces that the bell tolls to honor Team Takers triumph and all the WWE superstars.

Q: Change td cell colour based on a number typed into an input field I have a form.  In the form I have number input fields.  The minimum number is 1 and the maximum is 5.  All good so far.  The use puts in a number (between 1-5) based on a risk assessment. 1 being low risk and 5 being high risk.  If the user puts in a 1 I want the cell that the input field is in to turn green.  If they input 5 I want it to turn red.  The colour can start as green when the form first appears (though I am happy for it to be no colour until the field is first populated)  numbers 1 and 2 are both green. 3 changes to yellow 4 to orange then 5 to red. Sounds simple enough but Im a little lost.  Can someone take me by the hand and lead me through it.  I have researched it but I have not found anything that gets me any closer.

A: Grab the form.
var form = document.querySelector('#form');

We're going to use event delegation - attaching the event listener to the parent element to catch events that bubble up from its children rather than attach on to each input element. When a key is pressed in an input, call changeColor.
form.addEventListener('keyup', changeColor, false);

Array of colors.
var colors = ['green', 'green', 'orange', 'orange', 'red'];

e.target is the element that caused the event to fire. Set its background color to the corresponding one from the array.
function changeColor(e) {
  var input = e.target;
  input.style.backgroundColor = colors[input.value - 1];
}

Homepage Latest news Detentions for mental health care during the pandemic – new report
Detentions for mental health care during the pandemic – new report
Publication date: 17 Dec, 2020
The Mental Welfare Commission today published a report analysing the use of detention of people for mental health care and treatment during the pandemic.
The Commission wanted to compare detentions in the first phase of the pandemic (1 March to 31 August, 2020) with the same period over the previous five years to see if there were any significant rises or falls in numbers.
The Commission also sought to understand which forms of detention were used and how well each detention adhered to the law and best practice, and to do so both nationally and by health board.
The report also records numbers of detained patients who died during this period compared to previous years, and whether there were any deaths linked to Covid-19.
There were 333 more detentions beginning in the period March to August in 2020 compared to the previous year. This is an increase of seven per cent, which is in line with rises in previous years. Total numbers of detentions in the period was 5,057.
Within that, the overall number of detentions dropped in March and April, followed by a sharp increase in May and stayed higher during the summer. This varied by type of detention. The drop and rise coincide with the first lockdown weeks and the immediate aftermath.
There was a concerning reduction in emergency detentions that had the consent of a mental health officer (MHO) – all such detentions should have this safeguard. Overall, 45% had MHO consent, compared to the previous five years' average, which was 53%.
There were great differences in number of detentions compared to average between health boards. There were higher-than-average emergency detentions of individuals with no previous detention episode in Lothian and Highland, while mental health officer consent for emergency detentions was lower than average in Borders, Fife, Forth Valley, Grampian, Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and Highland.
We were informed of 60 deaths of individuals who were detained for treatment in this period. This was higher than average for previous years (52 deaths), with evident impact of Covid-19, as eight deaths were due to Covid-19.
Significantly more deaths reported were of women and individuals aged 45-64 years and over 85 years.
Dr Arun Chopra, medical director, Mental Welfare Commission, said:
"Our analysis of rates of detention is mostly reassuring. We found a rise in detentions of people for care and treatment, but this was in line with rises over recent years. This differs at the health board level, and we found that in some health board areas, there was a notable rise in the numbers of people being detained for the first time during the time period.
"The lack of involvement of a mental health officer (MHO) in emergency detentions was even more apparent than usual. Fewer than half of emergency detentions involved a mental health officer; a specialist social worker who should be involved each time a patient is detained. The mental health officer safeguard is vital, as it allows for a different professional group to take part in the decision making process at point of detention. We continue to raise our concerns about this.
"We will also work with the Scott review of the Mental Health Act team to discuss how to open up the debate about strengthening the mechanisms for this safeguard. In the Commission's view, the law is not working as was intended when the Act was passed.
"We found a rise in deaths of people in detention at this time, with eight deaths attributed to Covid-19.
"We recognise that while this report presents data at a population level, every incident relates to a person. Further work is underway in the Commission on deaths of people who have been detained for mental health care and treatment.
"We will also continue to monitor and report on the number of detentions and activity in later phases of the pandemic."
A copy of the report is available here
There are two ways in which detentions can take place. Short term detention certificates, which last up to 28 days, are the usual route into hospital care under the law as there are more safeguards.
Emergency detention certificates, which allow for a person to be held in hospital for up to 72 hours while their condition is assessed, are used only in emergencies.

Le Bellot heralds the start of a new cruiseship season
Le Bellot off Aride on 28 November (photo: Christophe Giraud)
Five cruise ships have been authorised to operate in Seychelles waters for the 2021/2022 season, including Le Bellot, which called at Mahe twice in November before proceeding to cruise in the inner islands.
For the current season, ships will operate only in Seychelles waters and will not proceed to make regional calls as was the case in the past. Passengers will arrive via flights to Seychelles, board the vessels for their cruise and return home by air
All cruiseships coming to Seychelles are required to submit to the authorities a checklist, Company and Ship Management, Covid-19 outbreak management plan detailing procedures and measures in place to handle cases, risk assessments, onboard testing capacity, social distancing, isolation facilities, rules for boarding and disembarking the ship among other measures.
Mrs Willemin explained that since the reopening of borders to flights, the country has recorded around 140,000 visitors, 39% more than during the same period in 2020. Arrivals are still almost 60% down from 2019.
Marketing and promotion of cruise ship is also beneficial in diversifying the products being offered to visitors and give the country competitive advantage.
The reopening will also reap economic benefits for border control agencies, most specifically the SPA, which pulled in around R9 million in revenue from port operations in good cruise ship seasons, not taking into account spillover in the domestic economy.
In going forward, it is essential that stakeholder authorities also collaborate towards a comprehensive cruise ship plan. Projects such as the port extension and waterfront development will be essential to the plan to increase daily spendin
Port Victoria wins title of Indian Ocean's leading cruise port
Press Release from the Seychelles Ports Authority
Port Victoria has won another title as the Indian Ocean's Leading Cruise Port. This was announced by the World Travel Awards last week.It is the ninth time that Port Victoria receives this prestigious accolade.
Retaining this title is testimony to the commitment, hard work and close collaboration and coordination of the Seychelles Ports Authority (SPA) with other esteemed stakeholders such as the Public Health Authority, immigration department, customs, destination management companies, tour guides, taxi operators, shipping agents, craft vendors, entertainers, the police as well as the understanding and cooperation of port and terminal operator.
Following the moratorium that was imposed on cruise ship calls, due to the Covid- 19 pandemic now lifted, Port Victoria is due to welcome the opening of the new cruise ship season for 2021 – 2022, as from November 18, 2021.
The SPA, in collaboration with all the relevant stakeholders, under the guidance of the Public Health Authority, is finalising a port protocol to ideally handle all the scheduled cruise ship calls.
The SPA would like to thank each and every one who has contributed positively towards yet another successful achievement for Port Victoria.

Q: what are the disadvantages laptop using without battery i use my lappy without battery.it means i remove the battery and laptop cable join the direct current supply.but laptop is working.can i know through this what happen to my laptop.is it good or bad to my laptop?THANKS.

A: While this is not an electronic design question AS ASKED it has implications for designs using Lithium Ion (LiIon) batteries.
As you know, turning off the power will immediately stop the laptop.
BUT leaving the battery unused can be good for it compared to subjecting it to charge discharge cycles unnecessarily as long as it is stored in a "good" state.
The best state to leave the battery in is when it has finished constant current charging and has just started constant voltage charging.   This occurs in the 40 to 50 minute range when charging from fully discharged with most LiIon batteries.
Storing fully charged is better than storing empty.


Frijoles is the generic Spanish term for beans, but caraotas refers specifically to black beans, the most common variety on South American and Caribbean tables. These beans cook down to create a thick and rich sauce—good to serve over Venezuelan White Rice or arepas. Make the beans up to a day ahead; you may need to add a little water when reheating, as the mixture thickens with time.
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper to pan; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar, garlic, black pepper, and cumin; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 cup water and beans; bring to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and stir in vinegar.
Decent black bean side dish that we served with homemade pork tamales. I skipped the brown sugar for personal taste. It came out a bit more liquidy than I had expected.
I really liked the beans a lot. They needed some salt though. I served the beans over plain white rice.
These were so simple and incredibly delicious! They reminded me of the beans I'd eat in South Florida. Even my 8-year-old son, who "hates" black beans, asked for seconds! To me that means this is a winner! I did use 3 cans of beans undrained so omitted the water and added some vegetable bouillon to the sautéed veggies. I also used a hand immersion blender to thicken up the beans into a super saucy pot. Other than that made as directed. A Keeper!
Really good, simple recipe that takes only a few minutes to prepare. I only used the liquid from one can of beans and did not need to add any extra water. I also used a lot more cumin than called for, used lime juice instead of the vinegar, and yes, added salt. I don't think I've ever made any kind of beans without adding salt, and find it strange how many people have bemoaned the fact, on this particular recipe, that salt-less beans might be bland. Adding a little salt and a little extra spice makes them definitively not bland.
This is my go-to black bean recipe. I use green pepper instead, add a bay leave, and leave out the sugar. The vinegar at the end is key, without it the flavors tend to muddle.
Bland! I really wanted to like this recipe and thought with the onion, garlic and spices it would be a hit. Followed the recipe exactly, however it was tasteless. Ended up having to add more vinegar, cumin, garlic and SALT (which I don't like to add)! The texture was nice though, and as the beans sat on the stove waiting for me to prepare the fish tacos, I ended up having to add more water as the recipe suggested.
Already a fan of black beans and this recipe elevated them to another level. Skipped the vinegar. Don't know that canned beans can get any better than this. Very easy to make.

Bracknell Forest Council
Crowthorne Costa boss flouts planning laws to open
A coffee franchise which opened without planning permission in Crowthorne will "add value to the high street" according to its owner.
Costa Coffee opened in the High Street despite not being given the go-ahead by Bracknell Forest Council for change of use.
Franchise owner Steve Fall said: "At present it has not got planning permission.
"This has been dictated by the times we're living in at the moment – there are a lot of firms struggling out there at the moment.
"Every week you're not open is a week you're not making money."
Although the shop is now in breach of planning rules it is unlikely to be prosecuted by the council and looks set to carry on trading despite the owner not having permission to change the use of the two premises the shop occupies.
Previously the shops were an estate agents, Richard Worth, which closed down last year, and a travel agents.
Vincent Haines, the council's head of development management, said: "Costa Coffee's internal works to the ground floor of the building were brought to the council's attention in June.
"We have been pursuing a planning application to deal with any change of use since that time.
"The company has been advised that a breach of planning control will exist if the café is opened prior to permission being granted."
Tina McKenzie Boyle, chairman of Crowthorne Parish Council, said: "People in the village have been disappointed by the way they operate.
"Something like this could be good for the village and may bring in more business.
"However, what they are not going to do on our patch is break the rules.
"That's what will disappoint and upset people and turn them against Costa Coffee."
Steve, 42, who also runs franchises in Caversham and Cowley in Oxfordshire, said: "I think Crowthorne is a beautiful village/small town and I feel we will add value to the high street by bringing in more business.
"Opening day was very successful. We had a great response from the locals. Overall it's been unbelievably positive."
Steve has invested around £200,000 in the venture.
As a company Costa Coffee tends to manage inner city branches itself and lets franchise holders take charge of branches in smaller places where local knowledge is more useful.

Egypt's Homosexuals Say It's Time For Action
22-year-old Abdo thinks he has found the recipe on how to make Egypt a better place to be for homosexuals like himself.
By Alice Tegle, correspondent, EgyptianStreets.com
After the 2011 revolution, Egypt's LGBT community had renewed hope of greater freedoms
"I always felt I was different and that something was wrong," says Abdo, a homosexual living in Cairo.
Living in a country where 95 percent believe homosexuality should be rejected, according to Pew Reseach, Abdo does not want to reveal his true identity. Not yet. But Abdo believes that change will happen soon.
"Saved" by the internet
"When I started reading and researching the subject, thanks to the internet, I realized that I'm not alone in this world. Homosexuality is something normal that occurs in every country around the world," says Abdo, who as a teenager used to share the popular notion that there are no gays in Egypt.
However social media groups and award-winning novels by Egypt's famous authors like Naguib Mahfouz and Alaa-Al-Aswany, as well as the upcoming movie «Family secrets», all depict another reality. So did the rainbow flags being waved during the 2011 revolution.
According to Egyptian sexologist Heba Kotb, nearly 10 to 12 percent of the Egyptian population shares Abdo's sexual orientation.
Yet, until this day, there is no political party in Egypt that advocates gay rights, and homosexuality is not being discussed publicly.
"There is no awareness regarding gay rights in Egypt. It's all individual efforts that mostly do not lead to anything," explains Abdo.
Gay-education
"I started to accept myself in my late teenage years. I then started to fight for the cause whenever it was brought up among my straight male friends, without revealing my sexuality of course."
Secretly Abdo met others like him on social media networks and in gay-friendly bars across Cairo. For Abdo, there is no contradiction between being a practicing Muslim and being homosexual.
"It is impossible that God can forbid people from homosexuality when he created us homosexuals in the first place," he argues.
Being confident in God's approval, Abdo could not keep quiet anymore. Last year he revealed his secret to 15 of his friends.
"My friends were in total shock," chuckles Abdo, "They never thought I would be gay. They never thought someone in Egypt would be gay."
Yet, the responses to Abdo's secret were surprising. "Their responses were amazing," he says. "Some of them literally had a yellow face, some kept laughing uncontrollably, and some got so excited. Most of them hugged me. By the end over the conversations, they all told me that they accepted me."
Spillover effect?
With Egypt currently writing a new constitution, some groups have called for the removal of societal restrictions on homosexuals and for the freedom of sexuality. Nevertheless, as homosexuality remains a taboo subject, it is not expected that such freedoms will be afforded anytime soon.
Instead, Abdo encourages other homosexuals in Egypt to do what he did – come out of the closet to close friends.
"When each of us decide to come out to a circle of people you love, one day these circles will overlap and people will start to realize that there is more than one gay or lesbian person they know," says Abdo. "They will learn that this happens to many people and it's just another form of sexuality. It's not a big deal."

Today people use their free-will to condition themselves to such dangerous habits. They are not only illegal, but even though they are so dangerous to the mind, body and soul, they are utterly socially acceptable.
Let us take smoking cigarettes for instance. First of all, just a couple of years ago, there was an investigation in the biggest cigarette companies of America. They found that their advertising and promotion was especially targeting the teenagers. They weren't targeting the adults, they were targeting the young people between 12 and 19 because in their own reports, which were written by psychiatrists and psychologists said: if a teenager becomes hooked on cigarette, addicted, then they will be giving us their money until the day they die. On every packet of cigarette the government is telling you – this is dangerous; it may cause your death. Cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of premature death in America.
These are statistics: 400 thousand people die every year due to smoking cigarettes in America. 276 thousand men and 142 thousand women every year die due to smoking. One out of five deaths in the United States is smoking related, and yet they are smoking. These statistics are not secret, and I am not revealing or uncovering some mystery. They are published; they are known.
Why? Why people are killing themselves? Once they become addicted, it is so very hard to give it up. It's unnatural. I don't think there has ever been a person alive who lighted the first cigarette that they smoke. It is horrible! Due to social pressure they tried, they start coughing, it tastes miserable, the body is having violent reactions to it, but they just keep doing it, doing it, and doing it, until they become used to it and ultimately addicted to it.
When I was a young man, one of the most famous movie actors always had a cigarette hanging from his mouth; always. Everyone wanted to be like him. So the adults, the teenagers, and even sometimes children had cigarettes smoking, had cigarettes hanging from their mouths in the same fashion. Some years later, he died of cancer of the lip and the lung. But, by the time he died, everyone was so addicted that they couldn't give it up.
The power of habit completely covers over our logic, our intelligence and our pursuit of well-being and happiness. Cancer is a horrible miserable cause of death!

Such graphic examples used by HH Radhanath Swami here to really make this point that we are often captivated by our habits which are formed over a period of time by repeatedly engaging in that activity. However, the hope is that by hearing from the enlivened souls like HH Radhanath Swami we get a way out and try to attempt to give up the bad habits and pick the new good ones. Many thanks for publishing this.
True. By hearing from personalities such as Radhanath Swami we can get engrossed in good habits thus bad habits naturally get slowly reduced.


Ronald Zapko and John Towery are both deaf. In emergencies, and for other reasons, they use Rose Medical Center as their hospital. On more than one occasion, they have been denied appropriate auxiliary aids and services in the form of qualified sign language interpreters during visits to Rose Medical Center in violation of the ADA.
The Lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court of Colorado on November 23, 2014. The Complaint that was filed in this lawsuit is available here. The case has been settled, under which Rose Medical Center has improved its policies, practices, and procedures related to the provision of appropriate auxiliary aids and services to deaf and hard of hearing individuals.

'I'll give my all for three points' – Andres Nieto on Sunday clash with PKR Svay Rieng
March 7, 2020 - 11:49 AM | អត្ថបទដោយ៖ ពិដោរ កុរច័ន្ទរតនា
Phnom Penh Crown welcome Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng at the Smart RSN Stadium on Sunday, and Andres Nieto is committed to doing everything it takes to win three points.
The Red Singha and the Svay Rieng side have a 100 per cent start, winning all their first three Metfone Cambodian League matches, so the Colombian midfielder expects a tough match against the visitors.
"I feel motivated and mentalized to go for the three points, and this is the game that I like," Andres Nieto, who scored three goals in his three league appearances for the Red Singha, told ppcfc.com.
"It will not be an easy match. We know that we are facing a good team. They are last year's champions, but I believe in each of my teammates. I believe in all of the technical staff and managers who have been doing an excellent job as it has been reflected in our previous games.
"I'm ready, and I'm anxious for Sunday to come, so it's going to be a nice game. My commitment is the same as in all of the games. I will give the maximum and leave everything on the pitch to help my team as much as I can to win the three points."
