What's shaping the world this week
The election's over. But we'll still be hearing about it for a while.
A jobs report, and ACA action: It came out after the newsletter last week, but October's jobs report was released and showed the unemployment rate falling to 6.9%. Also, the Supreme Court also heard arguments re: the most recent challenge to the Affordable Care Act, and it looks like the law will survive. If it were struck down with no replacement, it could have been disastrous for millions of Americans.
COVID is as bad as it's ever been — and getting worse. We could be in for a very rough, unfun holiday season.

But there is some good news…
A COVID vaccine: The cure for high Zoom and Peloton stock prices
The announcement of a COVID vaccine had some interesting financial effects.
Just kidding. The major piece of good news this week was that there's a COVID vaccine on the horizon, with purported 90% success rates. The stock market loved the news earlier in the week — look at all that sweet green:

But a few individual stocks did not:

The prospect of a vaccine had radically different effects on stocks depending on whether the companies benefited from staying at home, per the @WSJ Biggest losses: Netflix: -9% Zoom: -17% Peloton: -20% Biggest gains: ExxonMobil: 13% Delta: 17% Carnival: 39%
1:33 PM ∙ Nov 10, 2020
This is basically the opposite of what we saw earlier this year, when stocks like Zoom and Peloton went through the roof, while others, like cruise lines, absolutely cratered.
While that may be interesting, the important thing here is that it appears we're getting close to a viable, effective vaccine that should allow life to return to normal. Remain cautiously optimistic, of course, as things can always change.
But the initial data looks good from Pfizer and BioNTech, which announced the vaccine's success on Monday. The key takeaway is that it looks to be 90% effective, but there are still questions as to whether or not it provides lasting immunity and how effective it'll be among high-risk populations, like the elderly. That'll get sorted out with time, but the news that we're nearing completion of a vaccine was all it took to get people, and the markets, excited.
The other thing to keep in mind is that just because a vaccine exists doesn't mean that we'll all be able to get vaccinated. Officials say it should be accessible to most Americans by April of next year — but there could be some other hurdles to jump over, especially in rural parts of the country, where cold storage could be an issue. The vaccine needs to be stored at extremely low temperatures, and many hospitals lack the equipment to do so.
Putting that aside, this is good news. And with an incoming administration that is already taking the pandemic much more seriously than the current one, things may be looking up. That doesn't mean it's going to be an easy or fun next few months, by any means. Cases are on the rise, and with the summer months behind us, it means we're all going to be spending more time indoors, increasing the likelihood of transmission.
But a vaccine, or even news of progress on an effective vaccine, is going to give the economy a shot in the arm. Consider, too, that most of us have adopted behaviors to reduce transmission — we're social distancing, perhaps working remotely, sanitizing everything more often, and wearing masks. Medical professionals have also gotten more adept at treating the virus.
So, we're in better shape than we were earlier this year, which is great.

Panic withdrawals
New data shows that Americans dipped into their 401(k)s to pad their finances.
We never really know how we're going to react in stressful situations. This year certainly counts — back in March and April, it was unclear what was going to happen with the pandemic. Millions of people lost their jobs, and millions more started panic-buying toilet paper. It was a weird time, but interesting to look back and view our collective behavior now that some time has passed.
That goes for our finances, too. An analysis from Vanguard shows that Americans withdrew a median of $12,000 from their 401(k) retirement accounts. Under normal circumstances, those withdrawals would've incurred a penalty, but as a part of the CARES Act, the government altered the rules to allow for penalty-free withdrawals of up to $100,000. The data also shows that only 4.5% of Vanguard's 401(k) investors actually took the disbursement.
As for the significance of the data, it looks as though the ability to tap into retirement funds in order to ride out the pandemic was something that a good number of people took advantage of — and that it was probably wise to change the rules to allow for it. We know that most Americans already struggle with saving money, and for some, retirement accounts were likely a lifeline.
It's also somewhat surprising that relatively few people actually did dip into their accounts, all things considered. But the thing I think is worth ruminating on is that those who did make withdrawals are probably those who are already having trouble saving, especially for retirement. For me, having gone through the Great Recession and now the pandemic, looking at things like this is anxiety-inducing and altogether unhelpful.
But it makes me wonder what we as a society will do when, decades from now, we have a majority of would-be retirees who are unable to hang 'em up because they lack the savings to do so.
All that said, listen to the experts: Try not to touch your retirement savings unless you absolutely have to.

By Arvind Kejriwal
The last one-and-a-half years in India have been defined by the anti-graft agitation led by Anna Hazare. His key lieutenant, Arvind Kejriwal, has played a central role in the movement. In 2012, as it became clear that the political establishment was not going to accede to the main demand of the movement – to pass the Lokpal Bill. Team Anna demanded the setting up of a Special Investigative Team to probe corrupt politicians. On 25 July 2012, Kejriwal, along with two of his colleagues and Anna Hazare, sat on a fast to press this demand. This book, which serves as a manifesto for the movement going forward, gives practical suggestions as to what the ordinary citizen, the opinion makers and the political establishment in India can do to provide a political alternative, or to achieve true swaraj (self-rule). The author's central point is that power must shift from New Delhi and the state capitals to the village councils and the town communities, so that people can be directly empowered to take decisions about their own lives. A must-read for anyone with a dream to leave behind a better India for the next generation.
Arvind Kejriwal is a social activist fighting for transparent and participatory governance. He is considered to be one of the main architects of the Jan Lokpal movement or the Anna movement, which shook the nation in 2011. He graduated in mechanical engineering from IIT Kharagpur in 1989 and joined Tata…

3.3 The role of the basilar membrane ...
So far we know that sound-induced increases and decreases in air pressure move the tympanum inwards and outwards. The movement of the tympanum displaces the malleus which is fixed to its inner surface. The motion of the malleus and hence the incus results in the stapes functioning like a piston – alternately pushing into the oval window and then retracting from it. Since the oval window communicates with the scala vestibuli, the action of the stapes pushes and pulls cyclically on the fluid in the scala vestibuli. When the stapes pushes in on the oval window, the liquid in the scala vestibuli is displaced. If the membranes inside the cochlea were rigid, then the increase in fluid pressure at the oval window would displace the fluid up the scala vestibuli, through the helicotrema and down the scala tympani causing the round window to bulge out. This is actually a fairly accurate description of what happens except that the membranes inside the cochlea are not rigid. As a consequence, the increase in pressure in the cochlear fluid caused by the inward movement of the stapes also displaces fluid in the direction of the cochlear partition, which is deflected downwards. This downward deflection in turn causes the elastic basilar membrane to move down and also increases the pressure within the scala tympani. The enhanced pressure in the scala tympani displaces a fluid mass that contributes to outward bowing of the round window. When the stapes pulls back, the process is reversed and the basilar membrane moves up and the round window bows inwards. In other words, each cycle of a sound stimulus evokes a complete cycle of up-and-down movement of the basilar membrane and provides the first step in converting the vibration of the fluid within the cochlea into a neural code. The mechanical properties of the basilar membrane are the key to the cochlea's operation.
One critical feature of the basilar membrane is that it is not uniform. Instead, its mechanical properties vary continuously along its length in two ways. First, the membrane is wider at its apex compared to the base by a factor of about 5, and second, it decreases in stiffness from base to apex, the base being 100 times stiffer.
Figure 8 Schematic representation of the basilar membrane (cochlea uncoiled) showing the variation in width along its length
So, the base is narrow and stiff compared to the apex (Figure 8). This means that stimulation by a pure tone results in a complex movement of the membrane. If it were uniform, then the fluctuating pressure difference between the scala vestibuli and the scala tympani caused by the sound would move the entire membrane up and down with similar excursions at all points. However, because of the variation in width and stiffness along its length, various parts of the membrane do not oscillate in phase. Over a complete cycle of sound each segment of the membrane undergoes a single cycle of vibration but at any point in time some parts of the membrane are moving upwards and some parts are moving downwards. The overall pattern of movement of the membrane is described as a travelling wave.
Figure 9 Instantaneous pattern of a travelling wave along the basilar membrane. (a) The pattern that would result if the membrane were ribbon-like. (b) The vibration of the membrane represented more realistically
To visualise the motion of a travelling wave, think of a wave that travels along a piece of ribbon if you hold one end in your hand and give it a flick. Figure 9a is a representation of what you might expect by flicking a ribbon. Figure 9b represents a more realistic representation of the wave on the basilar membrane because the basilar membrane is attached at its edges and is displaced in response to sound in a transverse (crosswise) direction as well as a longitudinal direction.
What do you notice about the change in amplitude of the wave as it travels along the membrane?
As it travels, the wave reaches a peak amplitude that then rapidly falls. The amplitude of the wave is therefore greatest at a particular location on the membrane.
Figure 10 The envelope formed by a 200 Hz tone. The shape of the envelope is described by the set of momentary locations (four shown here) traced by the travelling wave along the basilar membrane
A travelling wave then, is a unique moving waveform whose point of maximal displacement traces out a specific set of locations. The shape described by the set of these locations along the basilar membrane is called the envelope of the travelling wave (Figure 10). The point along the basilar membrane where the wave, and hence the envelope traced by the travelling wave, reaches a peak differs for each frequency. In other words, each point along the basilar membrane that is set in motion vibrates at the same frequency as the sound impinging on the ear, but different frequency sounds cause a peak in the wave at different positions on the basilar membrane (Figure 11a).
Figure 11 (a) A highly schematic map of frequency representation on the basilar membrane showing that the part of the basilar membrane that responds to sound depends on the frequency of the sound. (b) A schematic representation of the cochlea and the envelope of a travelling wave that would occur for stimuli of three different frequencies. One instantaneous waveform is shown for each frequency. (c) Displacement of the basilar membrane in response to a signal composed of two sinusoidal waves of 300 Hz and 2000 Hz.
Look at Figure 11b.
What do you notice about the point of maximum displacement for each frequency?
For the lowest frequency (60 Hz) the maximum displacement is near the apical end, for the highest frequency (2000 Hz) the maximum displacement is near the base, while the intermediate frequency has maximal displacement between the two.
Therefore, high-frequency sounds cause a small region of the basilar membrane near the stapes to move, while low frequencies cause almost the entire membrane to move. However, the peak displacement of the membrane is located near the apex. This shows that the travelling wave always travels from base to apex, and how far towards the apex it travels depends on the frequency of stimulation; lower frequencies travel further.
What would the response of the membrane be if the sound impinging on the ear was a complex sound consisting of frequencies of 300 Hz and 2000 Hz?
Each frequency would create a maximum displacement at a different point along the basilar membrane (as shown in Figure 11c).
The separation of a complex signal into two different points of maximal displacement along the membrane, corresponding to the sinusoidal waves of which the complex signal is composed, means that the basilar membrane is performing a type of spectral (Fourier) analysis. (Fourier analysis is the process of decomposing a waveform into its sinusoidal components.) The basilar membrane displacement therefore provides useful information about the frequency of the sound impinging on the ear by acting like a series of band-pass filters. Each section of the membrane passes, and therefore responds to, all sinusoidal waves with frequencies between two particular values. It does not respond to frequencies that are present in the sound but fall outside the range of frequencies of that section.
The filter characteristics of the basilar membrane can be studied using the technique of laser interferometry. Figure 12 shows the results of such a study. The data were collected by presenting different frequency sounds to the inner ear of a chinchilla and then measuring the level of each tone that is required to displace the basilar membrane by a fixed amount. Measurements are taken at a particular point on the basilar membrane.
Figure 12 The sound level required to maintain the basilar membrane at a constant displacement (1.9 × 10−8 m) as a function of the frequency of the tonal input
From Figure 12, determine the frequency of the tone that required the lowest sound level to displace the basilar membrane by a set amount.
A little under 10 000 Hz (in fact 8350 Hz or 8.35 kHz).
This frequency is known as the characteristic, critical or central frequency (CF) of that part of the membrane because it is most sensitive to (or tuned to) frequencies in the region of 8 kHz.
For frequencies above and below 8.35 kHz the tone had to be more intense in order to vibrate the membrane to the same extent as that caused by the 8.35 kHz tone. This particular point on the membrane therefore acts as a filter in that it responds maximally to tones of 8.35 kHz, but shows very little response to tones that are higher or lower than this.
In the next section we shall see how the band-pass filtering characteristics of the basilar membrane are preserved in the discharge pattern of nerve fibres that leave the cochlea.
The motion of the basilar membrane also provides information about the temporal pattern of acoustic stimulation: it takes longer for a low-frequency stimulus to reach its point of maximum displacement on the membrane than it does a high-frequency stimulus.
Because high-frequency stimuli cause maximal displacement of the membrane near the base of the cochlea (near the stapes), whereas low frequencies cause maximal displacement at the apical end. If the sound always travels from base to apex, it takes longer for the wave to travel to reach the apex.
Finally, the mechanics of the basilar membrane provide information regarding the level of acoustic stimulation. The greater the stimulus level, the greater the amount of basilar membrane displacement. Therefore, more intense signals cause greater membrane displacement at a particular point than less intense stimuli.

I was in a conversation with a BP yesterday with regards to some web customizations I had completed where I had brought up my development background in more depth, outside of development of SalesLogix Mobile or Web. At the end of the conversation he was excited to know that there was someone available with the level of capability that he could use on projects that had absolutely nothing to do with a SalesLogix Product. At the end of the day we were working on a quote for development of a custom service application.
This got me thinking, am I failing to advertise my skill set correctly. Are partners not aware of where they can use my company to engage in projects that they would be either understaffed for, or incapable due to time or resource capability constraints.
So I am going to put this out there …. My Company (meaning me) can develop full .Net applications that do not rely on SalesLogix.
I have the skills and overhead capabilities to take projects as Small as a few days to Months or more. So my point here is when you are out there and a potential customer states I have a need for XYZ. Before you turn it down for duration, or capability why not give me a call and see if its something we can work on together.

Comedian Michael Henry's latest viral-worthy video is a bit of a curve ball.
If you're a fan of Henry's sketches you know that they usually entail a gag — a monologue, some repartee, a scene even — about the divide between gay men and straight men in today' culture. His latest video continues along that track but this time there are no jokes–at least not in the traditional sense.
"Do Straight Guys Eat Bananas The Same Was As Gay Guys" is like a video instillation you might see at a pretentious art gallery if said video and said gallery had a twisted gay sense of humor. It would make a funny replacement, for example, for the opening of Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals.
The narrative and the punchline, for this video are shaped by the video's ending, which gives a definitive answer to the question in the title.
Watch below to find out what that answer is.


The Aalzorg system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of 2750 was located in the Traders Domain province of the Outworlds Alliance.
The Aalzorg system is located near the Koury and Raetia systems.
The Aalzorg system was either colonized by the Outworlds Alliance at some point during the Star League era after the end of the Reunification War, or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this period for Inner Sphere nations to record its location on maps. The Aalzorg system was removed from maps at some point during the First Succession War, indicating that the system had either been abandoned, depopulated or rendered too insignificant to continue recording on maps.

Ancient Babylonian Use of the Pythagorean Theorem and Its Three Dimensions
Authored or posted by Pao Chang | June 11, 2017
By Luis Teia, contributing writer for Ancient-Origins.net
Very much like today, the Old Babylonians—20th to 16th centuries BC—had the need to understand and use what is now called the Pythagoras' (or Pythagorean) theorem. They applied it in very practical problems such as to determine how the height of a cane leaning against a wall changes with its inclination. This sounds trivial, but it was one of the most important problems studied at the time.
A remarkable Old Babylonian clay tablet, commonly referred to as Plimpton 322, was found to store combinations of three positive integers that satisfy Pythagoras' theorem. Today we call them primitive Pythagorean triples where the term primitive implies that the side lengths share no common divisor.
Old Babylonian clay tablet (known as Plimpton 322) stores combination of primitive Pythagorean triples: (above) photo of original and (below) translated.
Why was the tablet built?
Unlike what one may imagine, the reason behind the tablet was not an interest in the number-theoretical question, but rather the need to find data for a 'solvable' mathematical problem. It is even believed that this tablet was a 'teacher's aide' for setting up and solving problems involving right triangles. This sounds like an environment not so different from our classrooms today.

How is this related to us?
As human beings we share the same nature as the Old Babylonians – in solving problems to live and evolve. The problems nowadays are normally more exotic and elaborate than a cane against a wall, but they share the same legacy. Right-angles are everywhere, whether it is a building, a table, a graph with axes, or the atomic structure of a crystal. While these are our contemporary challenges, we, like the Babylonians, strive to deepen our understanding of the Pythagoras' theorem, and on the various triples that generate these useful right-angles for our everyday practical applications.
Spherical trigonometry: Three right angles inside a triangle on a sphere (Public Domain)
Were the Babylonians so different from us?
Babylonians may have used algorithms to compute side lengths of right-angled triangles into areas, and vice versa, similar to our contemporary numerical methods of analysis. These areas were farming fields, while the side lengths were canals for irrigation. Maybe the canals were structured to distribute a certain amount of water per canal.
Nowadays, in a very similar manner, computers are used to find the distribution of properties (e.g., stress, deflection, etc.) along a material (e.g., a metal beam), or even the displacement of fluids through volumes (i.e., computational fluid dynamics).
To find a solution to a problem, analytical solutions are often not available. Hence, numerical methods are employed. These consist of splitting the volume that is being analyzed (say the material of a beam, or the air in a room) into small elements (typically Platonic solids like prisms or tetrahedral). It is interesting to think that this so-called "meshing" in the engineering world, or splitting a calculation into small portions, was already applied by the old Babylonians.
Overall, one could say that the tendency to split a problem into pieces, and solve them individually to find the answer, is a human characteristic that we share with the people of Babylon. From this perspective, the Babylonians were not so different from us.

Governor Rick Perry (R-TX), T. Boone Pickens, and the Enron Legacy of Windpower
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 24, 2009
Last December, Texas governor Rick Perry, speaking at a Houston fundraiser, sadly noted how President George W. Bush had lost his way in Washington, D.C. His good friend had compromised his principles and left the nation in a lurch, however unintentionally.
But then the governor launched into his Texas-is-great stump speech that included kudos to windpower, a new large industry (no) thanks to a legislative mandate requiring that Texas electricity retailers purchase qualifying renewable energy. (Wind is the most economical of the qualifiers.) The 1999 mandate, enacted with the crucial help of Enron lobbyists, was increased in 2002 with a powerful wind lobby at work. And so at the point of a gun, Texas became the leading windpower state in the country, passing California along the way.
So it was not surprising that last Saturday night Gov.…

Phnom Penh Post - Government notes 25 UN UPR rights recommendations as political
Government notes 25 UN UPR rights recommendations as political
Niem Chheng | Publication date 04 April 2019 | 09:43 ICT
Chin Malin, spokesperson of Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC). Hong Menea
Thu, 4 April 2019
Niem Chheng
The government on Tuesday said it had "noted" 25 recommendations made by the UN Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review (UPR), saying they were part of a political agenda and linked to the dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP).
It accepted the other 173 recommendations that were raised.
Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC) spokesperson Chin Malin said on Wednesday that the 25 noted recommendations had raised case-by-case issues regarding Cambodian politics, including the dissolution of the former CNRP.
Also raised was the treason charge brought against its president Kem Sokha, the Supreme Court verdict that banned 118 members of the party from politics after its disbanding and a perceived restriction of political rights.
"We cannot accept these recommendations because what happened in connection to the CNRP, its leaders and members were legal actions taken in a democratic society."
"We cannot accept them and we cannot implement them because they go against Cambodia's laws and violate Supreme Court rulings. Some recommendations told us to release the opposition leader, reinstate the CNRP and allow its banned members to return to politics," he said.
Chin Malin said only a few countries had raised the 25 recommendations, such as the US and allies like the UK. He said around 20 recommendations concerned the CNRP and the rest political law.
CHRC issued a press release on Tuesday saying it had noted 25 recommendations out of the 198 raised by 73 countries at the UPR session held in Geneva on January 30. CHRC said its decision came after consultations with relevant government institutions and stakeholders.
It said Cambodia accepted 173 recommendations as they were in line with the will, policies and reforms of the government of Cambodia in all sectors in its mission to defend the nation and promote the human rights and freedom of its citizens.
"The 25 recommendations are noted because they do not reflect the reality of human rights respect and freedom in Cambodia. Also, they do not reflect the efforts made by the government."
"These recommendations particularly cannot be implemented because they are against the law, constitution and legal procedures of Cambodia. [These recommendations] were raised under the umbrella of a political agenda, rather than on technical aspects [concerning the] principles of freedom and human rights enforcement in a democratic society," it said.
CHRC said it had already sent a response to the UN regarding the decision in order that it would be approved at the 41st regular session of the Human Rights Council in July.
It said it would organise meetings with relevant institutions and NGOs to find the mechanisms to implement the 173 accepted recommendations.
Chak Sopheap, the executive director of the Cambodian Centre for Human Rights (CCHR), said the exact content of the noted recommendations was unknown to her at this stage.
CCHR nevertheless encouraged the government to seriously consider those 25 recommendations. She said the government could still take steps to implement some of them in order to improve the human rights situation in the country.
"We encourage the Royal Government of Cambodia to ensure the effective implementation of those recommendations in the coming years in order to ensure the full protection of all human rights throughout Cambodia."
"At this stage of the UPR process, civil society can also participate by consulting and cooperating with stakeholders in order to ensure the implementation of recommendations, as well as by monitoring its implementation," she said.
Kem Sokha, who co-founded the CNRP, was arrested in September 2017 and charged with conspiring with a foreign power to oust the government.
His arrest led to the Supreme Court dissolution of the CNRP more than two months later and the banning of 118 high-ranking party officials from politics for five years.
Released on bail in September last year, after more than a year in detention at Trapaing Phlong prison in Tbong Khmum province, Sokha has since remained at his home under court supervision.

Also attending was Douglas's wife, the actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and other family members.
"This is a great honor and I'm not getting any younger, I want to enjoy it with [my family]," the 74-year-old actor said as the star was unveiled.
Douglas got emotional and teary-eyed as he addressed his father, telling him that his presence meant a lot.
The younger Douglas was just 29 when he earned his place among Hollywood's elite as the producer behind One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, then the first movie in 40 years to sweep the "big five" Oscars for best picture, director, actor, actress and screenplay.
He went on to win another Oscar - this time for best actor in Wall Street (1987) - and became one of the most bankable stars in the world through a series of roles in cinematic hits including Romancing the Stone, Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct. His new comedy series, The Kominsky Method, begins streaming on Netflix on November 16.

Q: angular if all model values are not null show I am trying to show text based on each of the input's in my form having a value entered or a box ticked.
I can't seem to figure out how to get this to work for all the input fields.
Any ideas?

            Extinguisher Status

show something

    <form name="myForm">

                {{input.name}}

                    <input type="text" class="form-control" required placeholder="Enter {{input.name}}" ng-model="entered">

                {{check.name}}

                        <input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" required ng-model="entered">

    </form>

Controller:
function OrderFormController($scope) {

    $scope.inputs = [{
        name: 'Fire Extinguisher Number:',
        id: 1,
        active: false
    }, {
        name: 'Extinguisher Location:',
        id: 2,
        active: false
    }, {
        name: 'Geo Location:',
        id: 3,
        active: false
    }];

    $scope.checks = [{
        name: 'Visual Inspection:',
        id: 4,
        active: false
    }, {
        name: 'Weight:',
        id: 5,
        active: false
    }, {
        name: 'Gague:',
        id: 6,
        active: false
    }, {
        name: 'Hose:',
        id: 7,
        active: false
    }, {
        name: 'Service Complete:',
        id: 8,
        active: false
    }];

}

A: The best what you can do, is to bind input fields and checkboxes to properties of the objects $scope.inputs and $scope.checks respectively. Like this:
for inputs:

        {{input.name}}

            <input type="text" class="form-control" required="" placeholder="Enter {{input.name}}" ng-model="input.value" />

and like this for checks:

        {{check.name}}

                <input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" required="" ng-model="check.active" />

After that it's easy to check that everything is entered and selected:
$scope.isValid = function() {
    var inputsFilled = $scope.inputs.every(function(el) {
        return el.value;
    });
    var allChecked = $scope.checks.every(function(el) {
        return el.active;
    });
    return inputsFilled && allChecked;
};

We fight about everything
Big things. Little things. Everything hits a nerve, and before you know it, you're screaming at each other over taking out the trash.
You feel like you're on the edge of turning and walking away -- saying "I just don't care anymore."
There's good news here. Fighting means there's passion for staying together -- now you need tools to fight and make progress.
Fighting can bring you closer together
Not that long ago, therapists were trained to de-escalate fighting by creating a 'safe environment' in the office for couples to talk things out. It was a good idea but it didn't help the couple at all once they got home and didn't have the therapist to mediate.
The Couples College curriculum teaches couples to understand that fighting isn't the problem and provides the tools needed to communicate -- to hear and to be heard.
Communicating with affection
Learning to fight fairly
Practicing forgiveness
The art of compromise
Is This a Fair Fight?
Consider these questions and answer truthfully. Understanding what's happening in the fight will make it easier to be heard.

Radio France Internationale journalists murdered after kidnapping takes place in remote northern town; French authorities accuse terrorist groups of targeting veteran correspondents.
The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) and the World Editors Forum, which together represent 18,000 publications, 15,000 online sites and over 3,000 companies in more than 120 countries, express their outrage at the kidnapping and brutal murder of Radio France Internationale journalists Ghislaine Dupont and Claude Verlon, and call for the killers to be brought to justice.
The horrific incident took place on Saturday, 2 November in the remote northern Malian town of Kidal. The veteran journalists were on special assignment two weeks ahead of legislative elections in the country, when armed men abducted the pair as they left the house of Ambeiry Ag Rhissa, a local official of the MNLA ethnic Tuareg separatist group.
Sources said four men forced the journalists into a truck that was then driven off into the surrounding desert. Their bodies were discovered only a few hours later, abandoned at the side of a road and showing evidence of multiple gunshot wounds.
WAN-IFRA calls on the Malian authorities to ensure prompt and thorough investigations into the killings and to guarantee the safety of all citizens, including journalists, particularly ahead of local elections. WAN-IFRA is encouraged by reports that an operation has already been launched to identify and locate the perpetrators and urges maximum cooperation between Malian and French authorities to ensure terrorism does not silence journalism.
Ghislaine Dupont, 57, had covered African news for RFI for more than 25 years, reporting from across the continent. She spent ten years reporting from the Democratic Republic of Congo before being deported ahead of presidential elections in 2006. Her continued reporting on the DRC led to RFI being banned from the airwaves in the country for over a year.
Claude Verlon, 55, was a gifted sound engineer and seasoned reporter who had worked with distinction across a number of dangerous beats including Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq.
WAN-IFRA extends its deepest condolences to the families and friends of the deceased and to their colleagues at RFI.
Journalists and media employees working in dangerous parts of the world have been increasingly targeted in recent years. Syria, Egypt, Somalia, Pakistan and Mexico have become some of the deadliest beats for journalists, with armed conflict and organised crime severely restricting news reporting. WAN-IFRA has recorded the deaths of 42 media employees so far in 2013. Visit http://www.wan-ifra.org/node/71581/ for more information.

Tony Lucca LIVE In WERS Studio
Discover WERS, From the Booth, Uncategorized :: 04.22.2015
By: Sierra Terril-Kay
"I've got some of the greatest fans," Tony Lucca says with a lopsided grin, his hands resting comfortably on his guitar.
Inside the WERS studio, the Michigan-native rides the line between earnest and passionate as he welcomes my questions between songs with his burgeoning Tennessee drawl. Lucca is on the first day of his spring tour, jumping off with a show at Boston's own Great Scott, and closing on May 12th in his own town of Nashville. While some seasoned professionals might dismiss the inherent importance of a rehearsal, Lucca is attentive to his vocals and his performance at the station. When it comes time to perform, Lucca has his game face on.
Blending his delicate rasp with sweeping choruses, Lucca follows his hit single "Delilah (When the Lights Go Out)," with a fan-influenced "My Confession." Lucca smartly ends with his hauntingly open song "Smoke 'Em," which evokes a sense of weariness to the sorrow and hope that embodies the human experience.
The singer-songwriter's personalized acoustic set reflects his own emphasis on the necessity of personal connection within the music industry: "You have to respect the fact that people have relationships with those songs" he notes. But with Lucca's new self-titled album, he has also committed to "straight ahead rock and roll" and made a promise to "leave the acoustic at home".
So why the change?
With an earnest smile, Lucca subtly touches upon his media-frenzied past: "My bio is pretty crazy at this point…this felt like a starting over point for me".
Despite his personal milestones as a solo artist, it is impossible not to note the varied successes in Lucca's past. As a teen he made his Hollywood debut as part of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club alongside notable stars Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, and Christina Aguilera from 1991 until its final season in 1995. From there, Lucca made it to primetime evenings with the Aaron Spelling-helmed teen drama Malibu Shores and worked on commercials before pursuing his passion in music full-time. In 2012, Lucca was reunited with former Mickey costar Aguilera on the NBC hit singing competition The Voice, placing third.
This mainstream image of Lucca sparks an interesting contrast to someone who spent their formative music years- early grade school- burning through so many hours of The Beatles' "Rubber Soul" and Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years" that the vinyl wore out. "Still Crazy" has had a lasting effect on Lucca, as he recalls "how incredible that for whatever reason at five or six years old this music I would choose to play some of the darkest, most emotional, melancholic stuff out there and yet there was something in there that spoke to me and that I feel like maintained in a lot of my songwriting."
Even at a young age, Lucca was a quick study to music. He has taken this to heart throughout his career, straddling between the worlds of old and new, and seeking out what sets things apart: "the reason why it wins is because there was something honest and unique and fresh about it," Lucca says, citing Amy Winehouse's unique "full-throttle throwback sound" as a prime example. "She had a sound that people hadn't heard yet, so they were mesmerized by it."
While Lucca may have his eyes on what the past has to offer the present, he also has his fingers on the pulse of contemporary music. Lucca finds it necessary to "find elements in it that you do like even if you can't stand that song or that artist, because it's got to be popular for a reason- check it out. Give it an honest listen without your own take on it." This demonstrates a seasoned approach to the music industry: listen and learn.
As to where Lucca sees himself within the landscape of the industry, "As a solo artist, my records have taken on different styles and different genres. They all boiled down to just me and the guitar playing the actual songs."
"I think it tends to dilute things when you're being lumped into this big, broad singer-songwriter, "guy with guitar", kind of thing and that does get old," Lucca says. "But I take pride in the fact that I write and sing my own songs."
While being a singer-songwriter has developed certain connotations within the industry, Lucca doesn't believe in drawing too many boundaries between the two: "To craft songs is just that- it's a craft. Whereas being an artist is an art form. Some of the greatest artists of our time definitely were the interpreters of other people's songs." He rests the case with simplicity, saying "I think they're just two different art forms and it's cool when you can embody both."
Reflecting on the journey ahead of him, Lucca can't help but smile at the thought of the experiences to come. A long-time veteran of the open road, he knows that the most important thing is "keeping peace of mind and morale and keeping everybody excited to be out and away from home."
Lucca's attention to those around him reveals the empathetic nature that has kept him writing heartfelt music throughout the years. "Obviously, at the end of the day you gotta be totally cool with what you're doing and not do it for everybody else's ear," he says. If the music isn't coming from an honest place,"people are going to hear that loud and clear."

Military heroes storm the airwaves with "The Brave", "Seal Team" and "Valor"
The BraveEringdahls September 22, 2017
Source: Tolucantimes.info
The troops are ready for military heroes to parade across the airwaves this Fall. Starting with "The Brave", the new NBC series about a mighty elite force premiering September 25, the new military themed shows also include "Seal Team" on CBS, and "Valor" on The CW. The stars and creative teams from the shows were at the recent Television Critics Association's press tour to talk about portraying our U.S. servicemen and women on TV.
"The Brave" is a journey into the world of America's elite undercover military teams who show when there's no way out, they go in. The series starring Mike Vogel ("Under The Dome") and airs Mondays at 10pm. Also starring are Anne Heche ("Save Me"), Tate Ellington ("Quantico"), Demetrius Grosse ("Westworld"), Noah Mills ("2 Broke Girls"), Sofia Pernas ("JaneThe Virgin"), Hadi Tabbal and Natacha Karam.
It is a heart-pounding look into the complex world of our bravest heroes who make personal sacrifices as they save lives while executing the most challenging missions in the most volatile places in the world. The show follows Captain Adam Dalton (Mike Vogel) and his Special Ops squad of highly trained undercover specialists. His team works hand-in-hand with D.I.A. Deputy Director Patricia Campbell (Heche) and her D.C. team of surveillance techs.
Vogel noted that there are some American-Muslim characters on the team who are among the heroes portrayed. Vogel explained, "This shows that we are still all working towards a common goal regardless of those backgrounds ethnically, religiously, whatever it is, that we all want that same outcome of peace and that we are all coming together and that the world is being united on a global stage in helping to bring that about".
The cast of "The Brave" recently visited Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and got positive feedback about their mission to put the spotlight on our military families.
"Seal Team" premieres September 27 on CBS, and airs Wednesdays at 9pm. The action-drama follows the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous, high stakes missions our country can ask of them.
David Boreanaz (Bones) stars as Jason Hayes, the respected, intense leader of the Tier One team whose home life has suffered as a result of his extensive warrior's existence. Deployed on clandestine missions worldwide at a moment's notice, and knowing the toll it takes on them and their families, his tight-knit SEAL team displays unwavering patriotism and fearless dedication even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Boreanaz considers "Seal Team" a workplace series. He said, "I really feel these characters represent people that do things for a living so that we all can go home and go to bed and are cozy in our blankets at nighttime, knowing that there are people out there fighting for our freedom and fighting for us. For me, specifically, I think what's interesting about my character is how he deals with that workplace when he comes home".
"Valor", premiering October 9, airs Mondays at 9pm on The CW. Known for their lineup of superhero shows (Supergirl, Flash, Arrow, etc.), it is The CW's first foray into a military drama to put the spotlight on real heroes. "Valor" stars Christina Ochoa ("Animal Kingdom") and Matt Barr ("Sleepy Hollow") as combat helicopter pilots with the Army Rangers who find themselves at the center of a mysterious conspiracy following a mission that's gone horribly awry.
The show explores the boundaries between military discipline and relationships on an Army base. Ochoa revealed that her character is "human first and military second. The biggest challenges for me have been getting familiar with what it is that these elite units really go through. I read a lot of books, from "Black Hawk Down" to Ashley's "War to Shoot Like a Girl", specifically for females and kind of what they do in that male-dominated world. And, giving authenticity to our storylines, we have two wonderful female veterans in the writers' room".
Currently, there are approximately two million active U.S. servicemen and women and this reporter hopes all the new TV series will portray them with respect and honor their dedication, courage and sacrifice.

This claim is still being debated. Quite recently, evidence was made available suggesting that Bangani, spoken in the area of Bangan—in westernmost Garwhal, Uttarakhand—is a centum language within the Indo-Aryan area. The earlier diphthongs are nevertheless reflected by certain Indo-Aryan alternations. At its greatest extent, the Achaemenid Empire would encompass swaths of territory across three continents, namely Europe, Africa and Asia, stretching from the Balkans and Eastern Europe proper in the west, to the Indus Valley in the east. It is now generally accepted that there were doubtless a series of migrations, although the now-discredited view that an Indo-Aryan invasion took place was once seriously entertained. The Greek chronicler, Herodotus. Thus, prevocalic -ay- and -au- alternate with preconsonantal e and o; e. The oldest Zoroastrian texts are in dialects included under the name Avestan. Speakers of modern Indo-Aryan languages number more than million persons; Hindi , Bengali , Marathi , and Urdu are the most widely spoken of these languages. Indeed, it has been argued that the earliest Indo-Aryan as represented in Vedic texts is tantamount to Proto-Indo-European. Whatever may be the answers to the questions concerning the Middle Eastern texts and the Harappan peoples, the reasons for the split of the Indo-Aryans and Iranians are not known. However, as yet there is no scholarly consensus on this issue. The linguistic evidence, on the other hand, is best reconciled with the thesis that the Indo-Aryans did indeed go to the subcontinent from an external homeland and that the early Vedic system is not equivalent to that of Proto-Indo-European. Some borrowed words and proper names appearing in these Hittite - Hurrian documents have been interpreted variously as belonging to Indo-Iranian, to an Indic subgroup of Indo-Iranian that had not yet fully split, or to Indo-Aryan proper. At first, the Western Iranian peoples in the Near East were dominated by the various Assyrian empires. The administrative languages were Elamite in the early period, and later Imperial Aramaic ,  as well as Greek , making it a widely used bureaucratic language. The Greco-Persian Wars resulted in the Persians being forced to withdraw from their European territories, setting the direct further course of history of Greece and the rest of Europe. Iranian was also relatively conservative in retaining at an early period the diphthongs ai and au, which were changed to simple vowels e and o in Indo-Aryan, and long diphthongs that were shortened to ai and au in Indo-Aryan. The above scenario assumes that the Indo-Aryans migrated into the Indian subcontinent. Indo-Aryan languages, for example, penetrated deep into Southeast Asia ; lexical borrowings in Indonesia, Thailand , and other areas and Sanskrit texts in Cambodia reflect this influence. More than a century later, a prince of Macedon which itself was a subject to Persia from the late 6th century BC up to the First Persian invasion of Greece later known by the name of Alexander the Great , overthrew the incumbent Persian king, by which the Achaemenid Empire was ended. In addition to several other similarities in their grammatical systems, Indo-Aryan and Iranian have significant vocabulary items in common—e. Moreover, the textual evidence from Sanskrit sources that some have claimed demonstrates that Indo-Aryans retained memories of an earlier homeland from which they migrated into the Indian subcontinent is small and subject to serious doubt, as it serves to support this thesis only with considerable interpretational effort. This is not, however, universally accepted. Aside from a very poorly known dialect spoken in or near northern Distribution In the early 21st century, Indo-Iranian languages were spoken by nearly one billion individuals, most of whom resided in a broad region of southwestern and southern Asia. This First Persian Empire was equally notable for its successful model of a centralised, bureaucratic administration through satraps under a king and a government working to the profit of its subjects, for building infrastructure such as a postal system and road systems and the use of an official language across its territories and a large professional army and civil services inspiring similar systems in later empires ,  and for emancipation of slaves including the Jewish exiles in Babylon , and is noted in Western history as the antagonist of the Greek city states during the Greco-Persian Wars.

OVER 5 MILLION CHILDREN FACE THE THREAT OF CHOLERA AND ACUTE WATERY DIARRHEA IN THE MIDST OF COVID-19 AS YEMEN GETS HEAVY RAINS
Without an end to the brutal five-year old long conflict in Yemen, these devastating preventable disease outbreaks will continue to stalk the lives of many, and first and foremost vulnerable children
UNICEF Yemen/2020
SANA'A/ADEN, 29 April 2020- Over 5 million children under the age of five in Yemen are facing a heightened threat of cholera and Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) as the country continues to experience increased heavy rains since mid-April. More than 110,000 cases of suspected cholera have been recorded across 290 of Yemen's 331 districts since January 2020. Children under the age of five account for a quarter of these cases.
This comes as Yemen grapples with the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Thus far only one case has been reported in the country, but the risk of outbreak remains very high.
"Children in Yemen continue to face a myriad of threats to their survival. A further spread of cholera, high levels of malnutrition and outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases compounded by COVID-19 will only exacerbate the burden that children and their families already face," said Sara Beysolow Nyanti, UNICEF Representative in Yemen. "A tragedy continues to unfold in Yemen in the full glare of the world", she added.
Recent heavy rains and flash floods in Aden, Abyan, Lahj and Sana'a City have interrupted access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities and destroyed homes and displaced families providing, a perfect recipe for the spread of cholera.
UNICEF has responded urgently to families affected by the floods by providing basic hygiene kits, including disinfectants, chlorine, buckets and towels. The response also focuses on the repair of the disrupted water infrastructure to restore immediate access to safe drinking water for children and their families.
Very low levels of sanitation services especially in urban areas, use of contaminated water, lack of awareness about basic hygiene practices, including effective handwashing and food hygiene drive the spread of cholera/Acute Watery Diarrhoea in Yemen where basic services are on a brink of collapse or in best cases are inadequately maintained due to the conflict and years of poverty and neglect.
"Cholera and acute watery diarrhoea are preventable and can be treated. Our response, therefore, focuses on making sure families and their communities have sustained access to clean water and improved sanitation, while also being aware of how they can reduce the health risks," says Nyanti.
In 2017, UNICEF and partners like the World Health Organization (WHO) managed to contain one of the world's worst cholera outbreaks through a combination of community awareness; Water, Hygiene and Sanitation(WASH); and Health response, including strengthening of surveillance and case detection, deploying rapid response teams to several affected areas and scaling up treatment of cholera and Acute Watery Diarrhoea, measures that will continue this year to alleviate the suffering of children and families.
"Without an end to the brutal five-year old long conflict in Yemen, these devastating preventable disease outbreaks will continue to stalk the lives of many, and first and foremost vulnerable children."

Somehow we got through the last three years without anyone remaking Game of Thrones' introduction for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Someone has finally made the seemingly obvious mash-up, though.
"This started off as an exercise to kill time one afternoon about two years ago, never intending it to be a finished product," said creator Brady Wold on Vimeo. "I continued to work on it here and there throughout various freelance projects, internships, and other personal projects until it became a burden."
Skyrim and Game of Thrones fit together really well. They're both medieval fantasy adventures set in a wintry climate. Plus, they've both been around since 2011. Why has it taken so long, then, for a crossover like this? The answer is that this sort of video takes a crap-ton of time.
"After thousands of hours working and rendering, it's time to move on to bigger, and better things. I present 'Thrones.' Thanks to everyone who has inspired me, and given me support!"
The video recreates Game of Thrones' title sequence perfectly (the original video's below for comparison). The camera pans across a map of Skyrim, lingering on towns like Solitude and Markath. Each settlement rises out of ground, piece by piece, like clockwork toys. The towns are replicated to an impressive level of detail. You can see where all those hours of work went.
If you're in the mood to make your own Game of Thrones intro parody of this level, you'll need plenty of professional grade software. Wold says he used After Effects, Cinema 4D, Maya, Photoshop, Premiere, and ZBrush on the project.
The release of this video is well-timed. Game of Thrones' fourth season is about to return. The first episode will air on HBO on Sunday, April 6th.
If this video gives you hunger for more Skyrim, you're out of luck. Bethesda stopped producing DLC for the game a year ago. They're now focused on their next, unannounced game.
On the other hand, Elder Scrolls Online is launching this week. The game lets you travel across several provinces in Tamriel, including Skyrim. It's an MMORPG rather than a single-player RPG but might be an acceptable substitute while you wait for Elder Scrolls VI.
