Backyard belongings could block canal flow
Andy Reid Staff WriterSouth Florida Sun-Sentinel
The next hurricane season may be months away, but water managers warn that the danger of neighborhood flooding is growing, with potential obstructions spreading beside backyard canals.
Poorly placed gazebos, fences and other structures - along with landscaping - can end up washed into drainage canals during a storm, backing up water that South Florida's canals normally safely flush away.
The South Florida Water Management District has begun a "Keep It Clear" campaign to try to keep canals free flowing, targeting residents whose homes back up to waterways.
District representatives are trying to educate residents, through mailings, media campaigns and sometimes going door to door, about ways to keep their canals free from clogs and to avoid building or planting on land intended to be kept clear for drainage.
The message: If residents are going to build or plant along canals, they need a permit from the district to ensure they don't create flooding hazards.
The latest campaign focused on residents along the C-16 Canal in Boynton Beach and along the C-51 Canal in West Palm Beach.
The campaigns will continue in other neighborhoods in Palm Beach County and across South Florida to prepare for the return of summer storms and avoid repeats of the fallen trees and breakaway docks that clog culverts and stop water from draining, district officials say.
"It happens every time," said district spokesman Randy Smith. "It's like a trash rake. It collects all this stuff, and you can shut off the flow through the canal."
The district manages water supplies from Orlando to the Keys, charged with stopping flooding and protecting drinking water supplies in 16 counties. It manages 2,000 miles of canals, dug to drain the Everglades and allow the spread of development and agriculture.
Those canals, along with the neighborhood ponds and canals that drain into them, also created more prime waterfront property in South Florida.
Kathleen Harvey said she and her husband were looking for a home on a canal when they moved 10 years ago from Boston to Royal Palm Beach.
Living beside the water meant not having a home directly behind them. Harvey said she enjoys watching alligators, otters and blue herons that share the water with her fishing neighbors.
"It's nice, and it's peaceful," said Harvey. "People come and fish and use their boats."
Residents need to remember that those waterways serve a purpose beyond recreation, according to the district.
Before adding a dock, fence or other structure, residents should apply for a free permit from the district, said AnEta Sewell, lead public outreach representative in the district's Palm Beach County service center.
After a permit request is filed, a district employee visits the property to approve the location and building plans, Sewell said. Residents should get district approval for waterside plantings as well, she said.

Wash and Dry Veggies, chop them to desired sizes!
Drizzle olive oil in pan over medium high heat and add veggies and beans.
Once both sides have desired crispiness, remove from heat, plate and top with whatever your heart desires (I used avocado here but a favorite of mine is organic Lime crema– 2 tablespoons of sour cream, lime zest, juice from half a lime, mix together…it is seriously so yummy.
Which eggs are you buying?
Eggs are superfoods! They are high in B12 vitamins, which helps improve mood swings, attention issues and more. BUT- there is a HUUUUUGE BUT– where you get your eggs/the eggs you purchase make a huge difference.
Now and days, marketing strategies try to trick you into thinking you are getting your eggs from a fresh farm down the road with UN-REGULATED words such as "Cage-Free" or "NATURAL".
While it technically is true that cage-free eggs are better for you because they aren't kept in super small cages, these animals are not free from being fed food with arsenic and antibiotics or treated humanely. 🙁 There is no independent third party that certifies or checks if they are actually cage-free so it can just be a marketing scam.
What does Free-Range or Free Roaming mean?
Most things that say Natural without the word "organic" means that they are marketing scammers and don't trust them for ONE second. Natural is unregulated by the FDA and it means absolutely nothing. In the eggs case, it means yes you are getting an "egg." But I call BS on all of these labels and I'm mad at companies that use these mechanisms to treat people who are trying to make the best decisions for them and for their families!!!
The eggs I buy are Organic, cage-free, free-range/roaming. They are between $5-$6 compared to conventional eggs which are around $3.00. They taste better, they are healthier for you and they even come with a little newsletter. If you are buying eggs I encourage you to at the very least, purchase ORGANIC EGGS! Even better, go to your local farmers market and ask them if they are selling organic eggs. It helps to talk to the farmer, who knows the chickens by name!
I hope this blog post opened your eyes a little bit to which eggs are better for you.
Anti-Inflammatory One-Pot Rice Cooker Meal!
I LOVE MEALS THAT BASICALLY MAKE THEMSELVES. Who doesn't love that? I found this recipe on everydayayurveda.org and changed a few things around. Please check out the original recipe here.
Turn on rice cooker, go relax.
Serve in bowl and add fresh basil, salt and pepper.
Optional, as seen above add Sriracha! or top with a Tsp of Ghee!
This recipe is so quick and easy, the only not so fun part is chopping and clean up! Let me know if you try it. It was pretty yummy. Kiril served his with Chicken but shrimp would be another good animal protein to add if you'd like. Or tofu for us veg people! Happy eating!
Goodbye summer, hello pumpkin everything.
To celebrate the first day of fall I made these yummy pumpkin muffins – yes, they are from a BOX! Everyone can use a helping hand every now and then. I am all for making things from scratch but Simple Mills is a great company that uses quality ingredients. I care way less about calories and way more about INGREDIENTS. I added chocolate chips and shredded coconut to these.
They do not contain any preservatives so make sure to store extra in the fridge! For those of you who asked, I shared the coconut oil non-stick spray I use above. I found this brand of simple mills muffins at Homegoods at a much cheaper price than they are typically so I encourage to check out your local TJ maxx/homegoods for some good deals on quality products. Otherwise, I order in bulk from Amazon because both Sofia and Kiril love them!
Here's to a healthy and happy you, xo.
I know a lot of my posts have to deal with what you put inside of your body, but what you put on your body matters just as much. The FDA recently came out saying that there is no scientific evidence that "antibacterial soaps" are safe…(cue my smh face and eye roll). This is why I question everything, even when the FDA deems it as "safe". According to EWG, The FDA banned triclosan, triclocarban and 17 other antibacterial ingredients in hand soaps, effective September 2017- check out the rest of the article here.
According to the American Cleaning Institute, 74% of American Households use Antibacterial Soap- and when polled about soap, Mothers of households were the most apt to become "angry" if antibacterial soap was not on the market (See Dr. Mercola's article here.) Most antibacterial soap companies use fear based marketing suggesting that other soaps are not good enough, you will get sick more often, you will spread more germs unless you use their 99.9% bacteria killing soap… It's a great marketing slogan because it has worked so well (for their profits…) – but it has lead to a brainwashing of a product that is not healthy or good for your body at all. In fact, existing on your hands right now is GOOD bacteria. The stuff that fights away the bad guys. The .01% of bacteria left on your hand after using an antibacterial soap (in most cases) is the bad stuff. How unfortunate!
Antibiotics are VASTLY overused, not just in soaps that we find in schools, restaurants, houses, etc., but in livestock, in the products we use and the food we eat. No wonder there is a new fear of SUPER BUGS – bacteria so strong, no antibiotic will kill it…yikes.
PLEASE stop using anti-bacterial hand sanitizer, too. My two favorites are from the Honest Company (available online or at Target) and Pure Spirit Potions (available on Etsy!).
Hope this is informative and helps you make decisions that are best for you and your family.
Take and Go, Egg Muffins!
What I love about this recipe is that you can refrigerate or even freeze these muffins, pop them in the microwave and you have a healthy snack or small meal ready to go.
As you can see, Sofia loves these egg muffins, too. Toddler approved! #winning… They are so simple yet so scrumptious and filled with nutrient rich veggies.
Multiple studies have been conducted indicating that inflammation is the trigger for most diseases and illnesses. It goes beyond just what we eat- it's the chemicals we put on our bodies (think lotion, shampoo, conditioner, etc), the impurities we breathe in our air, the stress we have in our daily lives, our genetics, etc.
Simple Mills Products – check out their website here, I get them from Amazon!
Let me know if you have any questions! I want to recommend any books written by Dr. Andrew Weil — find them on Amazon. His approach to the anti-inflammatory diet is really helpful to understand.
Here's to a healthy (anti-inflamed) and happy you!
This is my all time favorite smoothie (can you tell it's Sofia's too?). This one is great for combating inflammation in the body – I am a huge believer in using spices in everything including smoothies. Turmeric and Cinnamon enhance the flavor while also fighting off infection and disease in the body.
I don't use ice because the frozen bananas make it cold enough and that way it doesn't get watered down. Blend all ingredients together and top with cinnamon! Enjoy!
Historically, the tongue scraper dates back to ancient history with its emergence in India. There is basically no disadvantage to tongue scraping. It is SO good for you. It just adds a little extra step in the process of oral hygiene.
When we sleep, our body goes through a period of detoxification. Toxins can build up on the tongue overnight so it's particularly a good idea to start your morning with a tongue scrape. 2-3 times, nice even pressure but not too hard will take stuff off your tongue you didn't even know was there!
So where can you buy a tongue scraper? A lot of health food stores offer them but I would be careful to get one that is made from stainless steel. I ordered one for every member of my family here.
The tongue and mouth is the first step in the digestion process. Ayurveda believes that disease begins with improper digestion so ideally taking an approach to ensuring a healthy mouth is your first step to disease prevention.
I challenge you to try it and let me know what you think!!! I swear by it and can't believe it took me this long to start using one.
Sofia loves her eggies — My friend Gia provided me with this ayurvedic style recipe. Super simple- the most important part is that you use clean, organic ingredients.
Ghee (Clarified Butter) — buy some here.


Last year's 'Suicide Squad' was a talking point for many reasons – and now it's notched up another.
With reviews rather mixed when it came out, the film still performed well at the box office and took a respectable $746 million. That said, some critics weren't kind, with a general feeling that the film was a filmmaking mess – an admission later acknowledged by its director David Ayer.
Yet this latest controversy – after the dust had settled on Jared Leto's weird on-set behaviour and subsequent annoyance about being largely cut from the film – shows how Cara Delevingne's body for her role of Enchantress was altered for the film's final cut.
In a gif that's been cut together from a behind-the-scenes featurette, you can clearly see that the actress's waist has been narrowed to appear what they deem more aesthetically pleasing to viewers.
Check out the CGI'd difference for Enchantress below.
Besides this looking bad for the movie (as if they needed any more negative publicity since its Extended Cut home release), Delevingne is perhaps the last person you'd expect to see an altered body image of. Not only is she a model and in no need of having her body manipulated, she's known for her quirky confidence and not caring what anyone else thinks of her with her live and let live inclusivity ethos.
So it appears the decision was certainly out of her hands and the fault lies at the door of Warner Bros. Films are known for altering elements of what we see on screen via the use of CGI, but when it moves from backgrounds, landscapes, and monsters to the aesthetics to someone's figure, it raises questions. Notably, it sends the wrong signals to those who look up to Cara as an idol as someone who takes no nonsense and tells it how it is. So the move is not only surprising, but tells young people that even her body isn't slim enough.
Oddly though, and after all the criticism 'Suicide Squad' has faced, it went on the win an Oscar at the 2017 Academy Awards – much to people's amazement (and in some factions dismay). It took home the award for Makeup and Hairstyling, but was not nominated in any of the so-called big six categories.
Was The Rock and Vin Diesel's fallout staged?


If you go to a museum on Friday 11th November, you're in for a big surprise.
That's the day on which, throughout the country, museum directors, front of house, curators, website designers, shop assistants and catering staff will be replaced by children. Look out for the 'I'm Taking Over' stickers they'll be wearing.
Older heads will be rolling at Hampton Court Palace on Friday 11th November, as the job of Head of Visitor Services, Visitor Experience Manager and even the State Apartment Warder Supervisor will all be done by 15-year-olds.
What goes on in the minds of teenagers? That's what the Pitt Rivers Museum and Oxford Museum of Natural History want to discover on Friday 11th November, when their teenage taskforce man the front of house, greeting visitors.
The teenagers will be asked to reveal what would make them come to the museums without their parents and – if they came to a 'cushion concert' in the museum – who would they want to hear. Suggestions please!
Children will be running the show, as they turn into managers at Ironbridge museums, coming up with initiatives to sustain young people's interest in exhibitions rather than getting bored quickly, developing ideas for the museums' retail outlets and drawing up a marketing plan on how to attract more families.
To find out more about Takeover Day in museums – and who's taking part – go to the Kids in Museums website or visit the Children's Commissioner Takeover Day site.

Calenda - Why living matter is worth its conceptual and synthetic challenge?

Why living matter is worth its conceptual and synthetic challenge?
The emergence of life on Earth has long been a major field of questioning for humans. Indeed living matter has always appeared highly singular against the background of "inert" matter so as (i) to interrogate its emergence and (ii) to attempt to convey its original features to inanimate objects. In the course of the XXth century, both latter perspectives have started to be interrogated at the cellular level with a continuously increasing content of information about the molecular components of living cells as well as about their interactions and reactivity. Two different perspectives have been adopted, focusing either on the formation of cell components, or on the onset of cell dynamic organization.
The emergence of life on Earth has long been a major field of questioning for humans. Indeed living matter has always appeared highly singular against the background of "inert" matter so as (i) to interrogate its emergence and (ii) to attempt to convey its original features to inanimate objects.
In the course of the XXth century, both latter perspectives have started to be interrogated at the cellular level with a continuously increasing content of information about the molecular components of living cells as well as about their interactions and reactivity. Two different perspectives have been adopted, focusing either on the formation of cell components, or on the onset of cell dynamic organization.
Most attempts have considered that addressing the issue of the emergence of life could reduce to reproducing the composition and organization of a living cell as we currently know them. In the corresponding picture, a living cell is mostly the assembly of its components. This perspective has generated much experimental work in the field of prebiotic chemistry, which has attempted the synthesis of (possibly homochiral) molecular modules (amino-acids, nucleotides, sugars, lipids….) integrated in the present biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids,…) within the postulated astrophysical and planetary context of the emergence of life. In particular, these works have demonstrated that such molecular modules could be obtained and could react after appropriate activation to produce macromolecules and supramolecular assemblies exhibiting similarities with the ones presently encountered in living cells.
Another trend has considered life as an historical process, which has acted by dissipating available energy. In the corresponding picture, a living cell is an evolving network of interactions and chemical reactions. In this alternative perspective, the final goal is not anymore the present structure and composition of a living cell but the mechanism, leading from the initial state of non-living matter to the present level of biological organization. Up to the present time, most works along this perspective have been theoretical. In particular, they have emphasized on the significance of thermodynamic and kinetic considerations, bringing forward the concepts of energy dissipation, autocatalysis, replication, symbiosis, fitness, or Darwinian molecular evolution. Despite those theoretical developments, one has to admit that we still currently lack a principled, quantitative, chemically explicit theory of the requirements needed to stabilize a metabolic network and a self-generated control system far from thermodynamic equilibrium. However, emerging experimental works have benefited from the developments of analysis, imaging, high-throughput screening, microfluidics,… to bring promising results while challenging the relevance of the theoretical models.
Beyond the preceding considerations, there is a lack of fossils unambiguously expressing the activity of the very first living organisms. Moreover, claims that several core metabolic processes (e.g. reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle) would witness from the emergence of life will ever remain speculative. Hence one is also forced to recognize that the actual nature of the first organisms and the exact circumstances of the emergence of life on Earth are, at least in a large part, forever lost to science. However, this evident limitation does not prevent to recognize that life has been a successful experiment, which demonstrates what is chemically possible. Hence, more than unraveling the emergence of life, the ultimate challenge may be to construct an artificial "living" organism that could reproduce and evolve. Creating life anew should certainly help us understand how life can start as a general process, how likely it is that it exists, how diverse it might be on other worlds and, ultimately, what life is.

Out and proud Canadian actress Ellen Page (Juno, Inception) and her gay best friend, Ian Daniel, set off on a journey to explore LGBTIQ cultures around the world. In this Emmy award nominated first season from 2016, the duo travel to Japan, Brazil, Jamaica and the USA uncovering some of the more unusual aspects of international gay culture, as well as the challenges in the ongoing battles for equality
VICELAND – it's a TV channel brought to you from Vice, the people behind the notorious Chemsex documentary of 2015. And now they offer a smorgasbord of more compelling viewing in shows such as F*ck, That's Delicious, Bong Appétit, Balls Deep, Noisey, Hate Thy Neighbour and many more. Documentary style and immersive journalism covers the eating habits of rappers, cannabis themed dinner parties, social groups that spread hatred, and a cornucopia of even more edgy material. There are plenty of topics covered to keep even the most curious among us intrigued.
Although the channel is only available in the USA and Canada right now, expansion to the UK and France is already underway and more countries will be announced throughout the year. Until Australia appears on its map, we can benefit from many of the excellent programs available to stream 24/7 and for free via SBS On Demand.
Introduced as part of the programming launch for the new channel, the Gaycation series was born out of an idea from lesbian actress Ellen Page (Juno, Inception).
Co-president of the channel, award winning director, producer, screenwriter and actor, Spike Jonze (just quietly, he's the dude who leads the dance troupe in Fatboy Slim's Praise You music video) approached Page for input on what people might want to watch. She came up with the concept for a travel show with an LGBTIQ perspective. Jonze ran with it and suggested the concept would benefit from Page being joined by a companion, so she brought along Ian Daniel, a personal friend, art curator and fellow homosexual for the ride.
Nominated for an Emmy award in 2016, Gaycation was instantly destined for greatness. The show sparked mainstream media attention while filming at the Iowa State Fair. United States Republican Senator and strong opponent of marriage equality, Ted Cruz found himself being grilled by Page over discrimination against LGBT people. Video footage of the exchange went viral with ABC News capturing it.
Japan – season one, episode one
Japan: Gaycation isn't your typical glitzy, gay travelogue. You won't find recommendations on which beaches in Sitges and Mykonos have the best bums on display, or which trendy nightclub is best to be seen at… but if you're curious to watch how a young man in Tokyo comes out to his mother and why he felt the need to hire rent-a-friends for the occasion, this show might be for you. Episode one delves deeper into being an LGBTIQ person living in and around Japan's shame culture. Beautiful and contrasting moments occur when Page and Daniel get friend-married by a Zen priest at a Buddhist temple that offers same-sex weddings regardless of legal recognition, or lack thereof.
Brazil – season one, episode two
Brazil: This is not a show for the faint-hearted. In episode two, Page meets face-to-face with Brazilian Congressman Jair Bolsonaro, who she describes as "a major voice in the antigay movement in Brazil". She confronts him on his previous statements to suggest parents should "beat the gay out" of their children. Later on, both Page and co-host Daniel nervously meet with a disguised, ex-cop and self-proclaimed killer of LGBT people. In a tense and emotional interview, the duo probe into his hatred only to have the situation intensified by discovering the man's own son is gay. After consulting with the translator and production crew on their immediate personal safety, Page and Daniel choose to out themselves. As the tone of the interview becomes colder and more personal the pair are noticeably shaken by the experience.
Jamaica – season one, episode three
Jamaica: Jamaica is a country with a long history of anti-gay politics and oppression. In episode three, despite the peaceful and welcoming nature of the Rastafari religion, Page and Daniel are shocked to discover a distinct lack of tolerance. In a rather difficult conversation with dancehall artist Beenie Man, Page confronts him about his violent anti-gay musical messages. The devastating effects of Jamaica's predominant cultural beliefs are all too real for the trans and gender diverse community. Trans-woman Trina Bo$$ Bitch has survived being attacked with acid, shooting and beating. Although accepted by her family, it is other people who pose a threat to her life, forcing her to consider leaving the country for her own safety.
USA – season one, episode four
USA: The season finale focuses on the USA. Curiously, it was first broadcast the same day North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory signed a bill into law that removed local protections for the LGBTIQ community, marginalising many of the state's residents as second class citizens. In a brief excursion to Saskatchewan over the border in Canada, the show's hosts meet with indigenous people who identify as two-spirit. The title differs from typical Western definitions of gender and sexual identity and is used to embrace the notion of embodying both male and female spirits inside one person. Page describes how prior to colonisation and the introduction of homophobia, two-spirits were considered healers and blessed individuals. Visiting Iowa, San Francisco, Chicago and New York as well, they encounter a variety of activists and champions for LGBTIQ rights before finally ending up in Los Angeles to investigate how almost 40% of homeless youth in the city are LGBTIQ.
Edgy, raw and to the core, this is exactly the kind of immersive journalism we've come to expect out of Vice. Page and Daniel work wonderfully as facilitators for our journey, enhancing and never distracting from the occasionally brutal realities of the people we're introduced to. If you feel like bursting your bubble and gaining a frank perspective on LGBTIQ life outside your usual comfort zone, all from the safety of your own living room, this is an absolute must see.
Orlando – season two, episode one
Orlando: Season two was commissioned last year following season one's overwhelming success. Episode one is already available at SBS On Demand and follows Page and Daniel's visit to Orlando in the wake of the massacre at Pulse gay nightclub, the deadliest mass shooting recorded in the USA to date.

"I made Dory (from the movie 'Finding Nemo') look good," she said.
Three months after starting her therapy, few could tell she's had to relearn to read, process information and coordinate her thoughts.
Cindy Wolfe, program director of the Transitional Learning Center program in Lubbock, said Maddox has been one of the more severe cases they've treated at the facility and one of the most inspirational. A brain bleed caused Maddox, a volleyball player for Lubbock Christian University at the time, to collapse during a match in Wichita Falls in November, setting off a chain of events that led her to the TLC in January to aid in her rehabilitation from the injury.
The purpose of TLC is to rehabilitate patients, like Maddox, who have suffered from a severe brain injury.
Dr. Brent Masel, president and medical director of the Transitional Learning Center,which has headquarters in Galveston, said the focus is rehabilitation.
"We maximize what they have so they can succeed at home," he said.
The ultimate goal is to get patients home or rehabilitate them enough that they can live independently.
"The idea is we don't want them in a nursing home," Masel said.
It's not the right environment, he said. So the Lubbock TLC location now owns a long-term living facility.
The house, called WestWay, is located in a residential neighborhood off-site from TLC, which is on the Covenant Health campus but not affiliated with the hospital. It's under an assisted-living license and has six beds, but is not a skilled nursing facility.
TLC also plans to transition to another facility within the next two years and will be located in North Lubbock by Trustpoint Hospital.
The expansions will help more people who suffer head injuries rehabilitate closer to home and family.
Therapy provided at TLC is individualized for each patient and there have been patients who enjoy music, so part of their rehab included music therapy. One patient liked steer roping so therapists completed part of that patient's therapy outside with a horse, Wolfe said.
One of the biggest needs for Maddox has been exercising her memory retention and helping her relearn to read and process information so she can get back to her studies.
Maddox said she had hoped to work with TLC in a different capacity before her injury.
"I wanted to be a physical therapist and TLC was on my radar to come volunteer," Maddox said.
When she arrived, she wasn't in any condition to volunteer, though.
Maddox also had problems remembering things from one minute to the next.
The first few weeks of therapy were the hardest. Therapists, including Wolfe, worked with Maddox and arranged her daily eight-hour therapy schedule to alternate between cognitive and physical therapy each hour because she was easily exhausted.
The road to recovery has been long and while Maddox isn't quite finished, things have gotten easier.
Even though Maddox may never get back to exactly the person she was and have the same cognitive abilities, Wolfe said Maddox's future looks bright.

Q: Get user total starred count using Github API v3 From the doc, I can list repositories being starred using:
GET /users/:username/starred

But it seems that I can't directly get the count of total starred repos of a user.
Am I missing something?

A: A suggestion to Ken Y-N's answer:
When the user has only one or zero starred count,the api will response without the Link header.
So when response has not the Link header, you can directly to get the starred count from the JSON-ARRAY's length in the response body.It just can be 0 or 1.

A: This is a very interesting question, and I think I have found the answer to it. Let us use the GitHub top user chart to randomly choose Ocramius with their 299 starred repos, available in JSON form from this address.
Now let us try querying the headers through curl -I "https://api.github.com/users/Ocramius/starred". We get one hopeful-looking header:

Link: https://api.github.com/user/154256/starred?page=2; rel="next", https://api.github.com/user/154256/starred?page=10; rel="last"

This header comes from the pagination feature of the API, so what happens if we ask for one record per page with curl -I "https://api.github.com/users/Ocramius/starred?per_page=1"?

Link: https://api.github.com/user/154256/starred?per_page=1&page=2; rel="next", https://api.github.com/user/154256/starred?per_page=1&page=299; rel="last"

Aha! If we parse this RFC5988 HTTP header, we can strip out the page number tagged as rel="last" and we have the correct answer of 299!

Advocacy day highlights university's impact, thanks lawmakers for tuition support
Posted on: January 19, 2022; Updated on: January 19, 2022
By Communications and Public Affairs staff
On Jan. 26, University of South Carolina alumni and advocates will come together in support of the university's efforts to build a stronger, healthier state — and to thank state legislators who have helped the university fulfill its mission to provide an affordable, accessible education.
Thanks to support from the State House in the form of tuition mitigation funding, the University of South Carolina has been able to freeze tuition for the past three years and announced in November that it would hold tuition steady for a fourth year during the 2022-23 academic year. Affordability and accessibility are key priorities of president-elect Michael Amiridis.
In addition to tuition mitigation, the university is making the case for funding to complete a new state-of-the-art medical education facility in the BullStreet district. The project, which will replace the existing School of Medicine Columbia, is the first step in a transformational health sciences hub in downtown Columbia.
From increasing opportunities for higher education to improving access to health care, the university is committed to fostering the well-being of our state and its citizens. Below, we look at some of the ways in which the University of South Carolina is advancing our state.
Access, diversity and student experience
Carolina Day 2022 will take place on Jan. 26. Follow the conversation online with the hashtag #UofSCImpact.
The university is committed to making a college education accessible and attainable, and to providing a world-class student experience.
South Carolina's six-year graduation rate far exceeds the national average, and its number of African American graduates ranks in the top 3 percent nationally.
Approximately 8,050 new undergraduate students, including transfers and participants in the residential bridge program, enrolled on the Columbia campus in the fall of 2021 – the second-largest group in school history. Fifty-three percent are from the state of South Carolina.
More than 16 percent of last fall's new students are first-generation college students.
Underrepresented minority first-year enrollment has jumped 62 percent since 2016, with African American first-year enrollment up 85 percent and Hispanic first-year enrollment up 53 percent.
Every student who sets foot on campus is welcomed warmly into the Gamecock family, as recognized by the university's No. 1 ranking nationwide among public universities for first-year student experience.
Educating tomorrow's workforce
The University of South Carolina plays a pivotal role in advancing the state's economy, forging partnerships with leading industries and helping to develop leaders who are filling the state's growing needs in key sectors.
System-wide, the university awards more than 10,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees per year, helping to meet the state's need for 70,000 additional baccalaureate degree holders — beyond current graduation rates — by 2030.
The university is helping to retain the state's most promising students with the nation's best Honors College.
The university is developing the state's future knowledge workers: 55 percent of all research-sector degrees in the state are awarded by the University of South Carolina.
The university's cybersecurity programs — including a new degree program in the College of Arts and Sciences — are preparing tomorrow's leaders to meet growing challenges in government and industry.
Building stronger communities
Throughout the state, the university is working to build stronger communities by improving individual access to health care, addressing the state's teacher shortage and researching ways to solve complex public health challenges.
As the population ages and more retirees move to South Carolina, the state's demand for nurses continues to rise. The university system is helping to meet the state's needs by graduating 700 nurses per year.
UofSC's planned Health Science Campus will drive medical innovation in the state and expand the university's capacity to provide health services to rural areas of South Carolina.
The university's College of Education has launched several innovative programs aimed at addressing the state's teacher shortage.
The School of Medicine Columbia ranks No. 1 nationally for the percentage of its graduates who are practicing in health shortage areas.
University faculty are active in many efforts to improve health outcomes for South Carolinians. From increasing the number of nurse practitioners in rural areas to a wide range of public health outreach efforts throughout the state —with initiatives ranging from telehealth to nutrition, communications disorders and aging issues — UofSC is working to improve the health of South Carolina residents.
Faculty, staff and students are invited to join in Carolina Day by sharing their own stories of how the university has impacted their life. Follow along online at @UofSCImpact on Twitter and share your own stories with the hashtag #UofSCImpact. Learn more at uofscalumni.org.

The sackbut, and other surprising inventions by Hugh Le Caine
By: Algonquin college
Hugh Le Caine.
Ilana Reimer
Algonquin College Journalism Program
Hugh Le Caine is considered one of the "heroes" of electronic music – an unusual reputation for a scientist. Le Caine studied music as a child, and also tried building his own instruments. He envisioned beautiful sounds that he believed could be achieved if new electronic instruments were developed.
Later, Le Caine studied physics at Queen's University, equipping him to apply science to music in remarkable ways. After graduating in 1939 he began working for the National Research Council of Canada, where he would remain for the next 34 years. But even while he worked on developing early radar systems and earned a name for himself as a distinguished scientist, Le Caine continued to spend his free time experimenting with sound generation and electronic music. In 1945 he opened his own studio, where he designed instruments such as the electronic reed organ and electronic sackbut, an advanced monophonic device we now know as the prototype for today's synthesizer.
Le Caine built over 22 new instruments in total. He also helped found to two ground-breaking music studios at the University of Toronto and McGill University respectively. His inventions almost exclusively equipped both facilities. Caine was largely interested in creating new sound possibilities. He had a keen sense of the nuances of expression, and he wanted to provide instruments that did not constrain performers, but allowed them to maximize their creativity. His intuitive, touch-sensitive designs were highly innovative – many of them not being adopted commercially until the late 1980s.'
Le Caine retired from the NRC in 1974. He died three years later and was inducted into the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame in 1996.

Do the Timberwolves need Jimmy Butler?
October 23, 2018 Areli QuintanaLeave a comment
Jimmy Butler recently made headlines as he reportedly defeated Minnesota Timberwolves starters alongside Wolves' reserve players and later that day went on a one-on-one interview with Rachel Nichols.
Throughout the scrimmage, Butler reportedly yelled at the coaching staff and players repeatedly telling them they needed him on the team, He later explained to Nichols that he just wanted to be appreciated by the team.
So how true are Butler's statements that the Wolves need him on the team? Butler averaged 22 points in 59 games with the Wolves during the 2017-18 NBA season. The Wolves went 47-35 that year and 8-7 after Butler was out with a knee injury in March.
Data from Basketball-Reference also shows a close relationship between PPG from Butler and the Wolves throughout the season. Particularly notable after Butler returned for the last few games of the regular season in April. During the 15 game stretch that Butler was out in March due to surgery, the Wolves went 8-7, leaving many fans wondering whether the team could play without Butler.
View the interactive chart here
A relationship between PPG by both Butler and the team can be viewed below:
Do you think the data above supports Butler's claim? Should the Wolves trade Butler due to this? Share your thoughts below.

From the winner of the 2017 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, Ada Palmer's 2017 Compton Crook Award-winning political science fiction, Too Like the Lightning, ventures into a human future of extraordinary originality
Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to wander the world being as useful as he can to all he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer--a spiritual counselor in a world that has outlawed the public practice of religion, but which also knows that the inner lives of humans cannot be wished away.
The world into which Mycroft and Carlyle have been born is as strange to our 21st-century eyes as ours would be to a native of the 1500s. It is a hard-won utopia built on technologically-generated abundance, and also on complex and mandatory systems of labelling all public writing and speech. What seem to us normal gender distinctions are now distinctly taboo in most social situations. And most of the world's population is affiliated with globe-girdling clans of the like-minded, whose endless economic and cultural competion is carefully managed by central planners of inestimable subtlety. To us it seems like a mad combination of heaven and hell. To them, it seems like normal life.
And in this world, Mycroft and Carlyle have stumbled on the wild card that may destablize the system: the boy Bridger, who can effortlessly make his wishes come true. Who can, it would seem, bring inanimate objects to life...

Q: JMS Serializer deserialize ArrayCollection of Objects I have serialized ArrayCollection with Objects, everything is serialized into json with jms/serializer-bundle.
When I want deserialize my collection with keys (it's important):
deserialize($data, 'ArrayCollection<int, FooBundle\Entity\Item>', 'json');

I get array. But when I make new ArrayCollection with results:
new ArrayCollection(deserialize($data, 'ArrayCollection<int, FooBundle\Entity\Item>', 'json'));

Everything is fine and I get ArrayCollection with Objects and all keys are kept. Maybe someone knows why 1st method doesn't work?
Jms serializer has possibility to deserialize into ArrayCOllection f Objects section @Type here: http://jmsyst.com/libs/serializer/master/reference/annotations

A: Only solution that I found was creating separate class with items (ArrayCollection type) field. Here is jms-serializer definition for this class:
FooBundle\Entity\Cart:
    exclusion_policy: ALL
    properties:
        items:
            expose: true
            type: ArrayCollection<int, FooBundle\Entity\CartItem>

New Chair and Trustee for Bristol Ensemble
Bristol Ensemble's board of trustees is delighted to welcome two new members: Charlie Wyld has been appointed as Chair, and Daniella Radice has joined as a trustee.
Charlie Wyld
Charlie Wyld was a partner in solicitors Burges Salmon, and has recently been High Sheriff of Bristol (2019-20) and Chair of trustees at St George's Bristol (2013-18). He has also recently joined the board of Young Bristol. He plays the oboe – being a pupil of our very own Imogen Triner – and sings with the Exultate Singers. He knows Bristol Ensemble well and has a wealth of experience and expertise that will be enormously valuable as we develop the orchestra and our Preludes education arm over the next few years.
Daniella Radice
Daniella Radice has a background in environmental and community issues in Bristol. A former councillor and Assistant Mayor (with responsibility for neighbourhoods), she is now field organiser for the Green Party of England and Wales, and is involved in projects working with children with learning disabilities. She plays violin in the Westbury Park Orchestra, and is also a keen singer. Her skills and enthusiasm will be particularly helpful as we develop and expand Preludes.
Charlie and Daniella join the existing trustees – Simon Cook, Jerry Cowhig, Andrew Gustar, Caroline Levett and Mark Tooley – for what promises to be an exciting period for the Bristol Ensemble.
