Tokyo Olympics Day 13 Recap: U.S. water polo makes big splash, men's basketball goes for gold
Updated: 6:48 AM EDT Aug 5, 2021
By JENNA FRYER, AP Sports Writer
- There's no Jamaican dominance. There's only U.S. dominance. When we come, we are going to be the dominant force. We're gonna be start breaking records. - I think you know society tells us a lot of times you have a child and your best moments are behind you, but that's absolutely not the case. There's a part of me that's sad because this has been my life for so long. And so that part of it is gonna be. You know that this one was my last time around. I feel sad for that, but also excited for what's to come. - I wanted to make sure 2016 was not the flu. And took me to be Olympian again, is a biggest blessing ever. I've never thought I could be Olympian in my life, but not a second time Olympian, is just eh. You can't ask better for that. - Words, they can't put it into play what just happened, but it was a blessing. Like I said, I've been telling people all this year, it's God. It's God's work. - I knew from the moment I woke up today that it was just gonna be a great day. And I think just trusting that process, it was just a final, "I did it" moments and I'm going to cherish it for the rest of my life. - I remember telling God, I was like, "If I am healthy, I'm gonna get out of win trials". If this is not cancer, I will make this team. And that's exactly what I did. So, I'm really grateful. - If I don't say I want a gold medal, then I don't think I need to Tokyo. (woman laughs) I think it's as simple as that. - [Woman] That's true. - I'm not cocky, I'm not confident, but if you don't have that on your mind to win, then why are you going? - It still hasn't quite set in, but to do it at the new Hayward field where I kinda had some of my first track meets growing up was really special. - Wasn't the joy or the excitement that got to me? It was a piece of serenity that came over me. - I mean I did good. I'm on a team, only 17. So, I can't complain but that hasn't sunk in yet. It would probably suck when I get back to the hotel. But as of right now, I'm just happy. And I feel like it's a really big achievement. - Me actually being able to be an Olympian now, I would tell my younger self, "Everything you've gone through, everything you don't even understand now, it all will pay off when you least expect it". - I used to take everything that people say lightly. Like I mean I don't let it get to my head or anything. I mean, it's pretty awesome but I'm just coming out here doing my thing. Running the races and just having fun. - I have a ten page essay due tonight, so I'm like literally try to refocus. My teacher didn't give me an extension. So, I'm about to be grinding. - This whole year, I kind of felt like I was proving myself to the world, but also just proving my talents to myself. And there's a lot of negative talk out there and I just wanted to silence everyone. - Grab my passport in like a long time ago. My hair is down to my shoulders. They probably won't even let me leave the country with it. It doesn't look like me at all. I've seen Canada, but I don't know what it's like on the on the other side. - Well, obviously no one is vertical, no one is horizontal. And the technique for both is different. Whereas in high jump I have to be more bouncy, more upright. In long jump, I get to sprint out and push a lot harder than I do a high jump. And it showed that I can compete with the best of the best. And I'm ready to go to Tokyo, put in some more work and hopefully come back home with some hardware. - Heather's one of my very best friends. She was in my wedding and we're going to go get matching tattoos. (Elle laughs) - It was great to be there with Krissa and also have Gwen and Vanessa in the race as well. Just you know, making it feel you know, like practice and feeding off each other's team energy. - It's mission accomplished. I crossed the line and looked at Woody. And we both knew that we were going to Tokyo. And that's an incredible feeling doing it with my teammate. A friend like a guy I've lived with, trained with every day. It means so much. - The plan is to, be in contention and to, to meet in Tokyo. - I reaylly watch videos of her running and running away from the field. And I think having her as like a mentor has been huge for me. So yeah, I actually was thinking of her this morning. - It's a comfort, when I know I can go to an international race and Courtney can be there. And we just keep getting better and better. And so I think together we can, we can make a splash at Tokyo and come home with some hardware. - Beyond Tracksmith giving me clothing, I buy everything myself. I funded every single trip including this one. Being a Blue Collar Runner is really cool. And I think that anyone that works a full-time job, can still have Olympic aspirations. - I haven't seen an Olympic games on TV since 2004. So if any of you remember Dina winning a battle, that was the last time I watch track and field on television. - You gotta realize that the performance that we all put out there as athletes, is our heart (Justin sobs) our heart and uh We never realized that after that it's going to be in until the incomes. - I'm sad. I'm very sad. There was just seven people that were better made today.

Leukemia patients are traditionally treated by medics by transplanting stem cells from people with healthy bone marrow. However, while transplants are often an effective treatment, there are rarely enough tissue donors to treat every leukemia patient. Leukemia is a type of cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal increase of immature white blood cells called "blasts."
This shortage of bone marrow has led scientists to look for an alternative; this has led to the development of an artificial bone marrow. To this end, researchers have been growing stem cells in a setting that mimics the natural environment of bone marrow.
Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells, that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. The cells are used in research because they have the capacity to differentiate into specialized cell types.
With the new process, the researchers recreated the spongy structure of bone marrow by making a hydrogel (like the material used to make contact lenses) around salt crystals, and then removing the crystals to leave holes for the stem cells to grow inside. They then added proteins and cells that support stem cells. Finally, they injected stem cells taken from umbilical-cord blood.
According to the research brief, the work successfully produced hematopoietic stem cells, which are the cells within the marrow that give rise to all types of blood cells. The stem cells reproduced in the artificial bone marrow, and more than 90 percent of cells still had the markings of stem cells after four days, a sign they retained their ability to form any type of blood cell. Thus, the artificial bone marrow was a success.
The findings have been published in the journal Biomaterials.

Q: Good C++ string manipulation library I'm sorry for flaming std::string and  std::wstring. They are quite limited and far from being thread safe. Performance wise, they are not that good too. I miss simple features:

*

*Splitting a string into array/vector/list

*Simple & intuitive case-insensitive find & replace

*Support for i18n without worrying about string or wstring

*Conversion to and from int, float, double

*Conversion to and from UTF-8, UTF-16 & other encodings

*Thread-safe/reentrant

*Small footprint & no dependencies

*Highly portable & cross-platform

I've found Qt QString to be useful and also found CBString http://bstring.sourceforge.net/bstrFAQ.shtml
Any other suggestions & comparisons? Thank you.

A: Bstring - Although I never tried it myself, the feature set and speed presented at their site. Under your choice of GPL or BSD license is also a good degree of freedom.
Also, the name suggests it's better so how can they lie? :)

A: I found wxString convenient to use and it has many features. Although it is part of a bigger library (wxWidgets) and maybe just too big when you just want to use strings.
It also works without GUI components when you just use wxBase which contains the wxString and a 'few' other components.
EDIT: here is a link to the documentation. It accepts the standard functions of std::string and also a few others. I always find the BeforeFirst() and AfterFirst() very convenient when I have to parse some text. And it is really well documented.

A: The C++ String Toolkit (StrTk) Library is a free library that consists of robust, optimized and portable generic string processing algorithms and procedures for the C++ language. The library is designed to be easy to use and integrate within existing code.
The library has the following capabilities:

*

*Generic string tokenizer and token iterators

*Split routines

*User specified delimiter and splitter policies (simple and regex based etc.)

*Conversions between data and hex and base-64

*In-place removal and replace routines

*Wild-card matching and globing

*Fast 2D token grid processing

*Extensible string processing templates

and plenty more...
Compatible C++ Compilers:

*

*GCC 4.0+

*Intel C++ Compiler 9.0+

*Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0+

*Comeau C/C++ 4.1+

Source:

*

*Download: http://www.partow.net/programming/strtk/index.html

*SVN: http://code.google.com/p/strtk/

A: I highly recommend to use ICU's UnicodeString, as it support all common string manipulation functions, as well as i18n support.
Don't know what ICU is? Here is an extract from Wikipedia:

International Components for Unicode (ICU) is an open source project of mature C/C++ and Java libraries for Unicode support, software internationalization, and software globalization. ICU is widely portable to many operating systems and environments. It gives applications the same results on all platforms and between C, C++, and Java software. The ICU project is sponsored, supported, and used by IBM and many other companies.

A: The C++ String Algorithms Library from Boost has pretty much all of the features you need.

A: I'm not sure I agree.  Strings really shouldn't be thread-safe due to the overhead, except for reference-counting, if applicable.  Most of the other functionality you want would turn strings into a garbage barge.  Likewise, removing dependencies would remove their ability to work well with streams.
The one thing I'd suggest is that we could benefit from an immutable string class, particularly one that has no memory ownership or termination.  I've written those before and they can be very helpful.

A: For conversion, you can always break down and use the C library cstdlib.
#include <cstlib>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   std::string num;

   std::cin >> num;

   someFunc(atoi(num));
   someOtherFunc(atof(num));
   return 0;
}

atoi = ascii to integer
atof = ascii to float
As for find, use the STL function "find" defined under header algorithm, or find_first_of (or similar). I also believe you can initialize a vector of char's with an std::string, but that is conjecture.

What Causes Fatigue In Parkinson's
Fatigue and Sleepiness in Parkinsons Disease
The precise mechanisms that cause fatigue are unclear but research suggests that any neurological disorder which involves the basal ganglia area of the brain is likely to be associated with significant fatigue. This includes Parkinsons.
In some cases Parkinsons medication may be a factor, for example dopaminergic medications may affect sleep and so add to fatigue. Dosage and timing of medication may also affect energy levels.
Fatigue may be linked to other Parkinsons symptoms, for example depression. With depression there is usually also fatigue, as well as loss of motivation, a general lack of interest and difficulty in sleeping. It is important that these symptoms are recognised as they are very treatable, and overcoming them can reduce fatigue.
If you experience tremor, rigidity or dyskinesia your muscles will have to work harder in order to carry out simple movements or tasks which can mean muscles fatigue more quickly and easily. Slowness of movement may also increase fatigue by making activities and tasks more prolonged and effortful.
You may have sleep problems and poor quality sleep tends to lead to excessive day-time sleepiness and a tendency to nap. Although sleepiness is a separate symptom to fatigue, it clearly adds to the problem and fatigue is hard to overcome if you are sleepy.
Treatment For Fatigue In Parkinson's Disease
At least one-third of people with Parkinson's disease complain about fatigue. It is unclear what treatment is best to reduce fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease.
We reviewed the medical literature up to April 2015, and found 11 studies that included a total of 1817 people. Nine studies investigated the effects of medication on fatigue. Two studies investigated the effects of exercise on fatigue. We found no studies that investigated the effect of cognitive-behavioural therapy.
We found that doxepin , a drug to treat depression, may reduce fatigue. We found that rasagiline , an anti-Parkinson drug, reduced or slowed down the progression of physical fatigue. Most drugs were safe however, levodopa-carbidopa may cause nausea.
We found no evidence that exercise reduces fatigue in Parkinson's disease.
Based on the current evidence, it is not clear what treatment is most effective to treat fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease. Future studies should investigate the effect of cognitive-behavioural therapy on fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease.
Factors contributing to subjective fatigue in people with idiopathic Parkinsons disease are not well known. This makes it difficult to manage fatigue effectively in PD.
To evaluate the effects of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, compared to an inactive control intervention, on subjective fatigue in people with PD.
Association Between Fatigue And Quality Of Life In Parkinsons Disease
To determine the relationship between the perception of fatigue and quality of life, a canonical correlation analysis was conducted using the fatigue scales as the criterion variables and quality of life measures as the predictor variables. The range of correlation within the fatigue scales was r=0.86 to 0.85 and r=0.74 to 0.82 among the quality of life variables. The highest correlated predictor variables was between the PDQ-39SI and NMSQ measures. Omission of either variable did not change the results these two variables were therefore retained. The multivariate analyses produced four discriminant functions, of which the first was significant, F=13.24, p=0.0005 based on Roys greatest-root test. The correlation between the two sets of variables was Rc=0.98, indicating a high degree of relationship between the predictor and criterion variables. The squared canonical correlation which represented the proportion of the variance in the canonical variate of the fatigue scales that can be explained by the canonical variate of the quality of life variables was 96%.

Treating Fatigue In Parkinsons Disease
There are currently few treatments available that directly alleviate fatigue, which can make it difficult to treat. However, people with PD who experience fatigue should talk to their doctor as changes in their current medications may help relieve fatigue. Complementary therapies, such as acupuncture or massage, may help improve symptoms of fatigue. In addition, there are several lifestyle approaches that can help manage fatigue, including:

Preparation For Model Building
Preprocessing consisted of removing incomplete records, duplicate records and records of control patients. Furthermore, only records from the first clinic visit were used, since most patients did not have data associated with subsequent visits and thus the sample size appeared inadequate for analysis. The remaining dataset of 182 PD patients records contained no redundant independent variables with a predominant single value. Patient demographics of the pre-screening and post-screening datasets were displayed in the results section.
Quality metrics to assess the validity of the results were accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, and these metrics are discussed in the results section.
Imaging Of Fatigue In Pd
Motor symptoms in PD result from nigrostriatal dopaminergic denervation, but dopaminergic dysfunction does not appear to be related to fatigue in PD. In the ELLDOPA cohort, 49 levodopa-naive PD patients with fatigue had similar –CIT striatal dopamine transporter uptake as 82 PD patients without fatigue. Another study showed no difference in 18F-dopa uptake between 10 fatigued PD subjects and 10 nonfatigued PD subjects.,
Serotonin transporter uptake has been reported to be reduced in chronic fatigue syndrome,, suggesting that nondopaminergic pathways may be involved in PD fatigue. Pavese et al. compared serotonergic transporter uptake ligand 11C-DASB) in seven PD subjects with fatigue and eight PD subjects without fatigue. Serotonin transporter binding in the caudate, putamen, ventral striatum, insula, and thalamus was decreased in the fatigued patients. The relationship of the cholinergic system to PD fatigue has not been investigated. The autonomic nervous system may also be involved in PD fatigue. One study found that pressor responses in norepinephrine and dobutamine infusion tests were greater and MIBG cardiac uptake was decreased in PD subjects with fatigue compared with those without fatigue.,

Figuring Out Causes Of Fatigue
The first step in easing the fatigue associated with Parkinsons disease is to rule out other causes of tiredness, says Liana Rosenthal, M.D., assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of clinical core at the Morris K. Udall Center Parkinsons Disease Research Center of Excellence. We evaluate patients to see if there are other things contributing to the fatigue besides their disease, she says.
Sometimes patients may be referred to a sleep specialist for an evaluation. That can help identify causes of tiredness, like sleep apnea. Rosenthal says: Our aim is to first treat any sleep issues, like insomnia, sleep apnea or other causes of poor sleep. Once we treat and address those issues, we can see if fatigue still persists.

Fatigue In Parkinsons Disease: Report From A Multidisciplinary Symposium
A summary of a symposium in October, 2014, reviewing what is known about the diagnosis and treatment of fatigue, its physiology, and what we might learn from other disorders in which fatigue figures prominently, and concluding with focused recommendations to enhance understanding and treatment of fatigue in Parkinsons disease.
Physiology And Biomarkers For Fatigue In Pd
The physiology underlying fatigue symptoms in PD is unknown, whereas much is known about the mechanisms of motor fatigability. The only published study of physiological differences between fatigued and nonfatigued PD patients found no measurable differences in oxygen utilization during exercise, but some studies have suggested that exercising improves fatigue.,,, Whether fatigue fluctuates with motor fluctuations was looked at in one study. Subjects were assessed during their off, whereas all other studies used the subjects experience over a preceding time interval of weeks. Eighty-eight percent of their subjects were fatigued, and fatigue increased with motor "off." Too few subjects were nonfatigued to determine how often fatigue occurred only during motor "off." The physiological implications are unclear, as many other nonmotor symptoms also increased during the "off" period.

Methylphenidate Use For Fatigue In Parkinsons
Methylphenidate , better known by its brand name, Ritalin, is popular for its use in the treatment of children with ADHD. It was FDA approved in the 1950s and became increasingly prescribed in the 1990s. MP has since been used for other disorders, including narcolepsy, refractory depression and fatigue caused by medical and neurological disorders.
Fatigue in Parkinsons is a common problem encountered by one-third to one-half of people with the disease. Parkinsons fatigue is often unrelated to the disease severity and overall motoric disability. Medications used to treat the motor symptoms of Parkinsons typically do not improve fatigue, and treatment specific to fatigue is lacking.
MP is a psychostimulant which has seen an increase in off-label use to treat Parkinsons fatigue. MP works by decreasing the reuptake of neurotransmitters, like dopamine and norepinephrine, thus making them available longer in the synaptic cleft where the chemicals can act on the receiving brain cells.
Based on their clinical experience, many physicians are recommending that patients try MP for Parkinsons fatigue, especially when quality of life is greatly impacted.
MP is an old drug that may have newer uses it may have potential to help people with Parkinsons. As with all medications, discuss the risks and benefits of MP with your neurologist and other healthcare team members before deciding if it is right for you.

I am a very active person, but deep fatigue must be addressed with rest. Taking a day to rest is not in my nature. It makes me feel like a sloth. Yet, when deep fatigue hits me, the best remedy is to do just that take the day off! I limit myself to one day of physical rest, very rarely two days . I also find that the mind must rest with the body. Getting the mind to a quiet place is the practice of meditation, in whatever form suits the moment. At the height of deep fatigue, meditation can be very difficult, but not impossible. At times, it has taken me four hours to quiet my mind and body to get rejuvenating rest.
But there is a caution here: Be wary of using rest as an excuse to procrastinate. In another column, Ill address the link of scenario looping to set-shifting issues and difficulty initiating new tasks. Basically, getting off the sofa can be problematic if I stay there too long. Perhaps this seems contradictory to my history as a highly active person, but that is the nature of PDs nonmotor effects. Once off the sofa, I make myself shift into a physical task, followed by a short rest and then some type of mental task. There is always some resistance to overcome to do this to get off the sofa but the rest is absolutely necessary to stop the deep fatigue.

Fatigue In Parkinsons Disease
Fatigue is a common but under-recognized problem for people with Parkinsons disease . Fatigue can be defined as an unpleasant sensation of lacking energy, making the performance of routine activities, physical or mental, a strain. People with PD may experience physical fatigue, mental fatigue, or both. Fatigue in PD is not the same as the feeling you might get at the end of a hard days work. It is not necessarily something that goes away with rest. When people with PD are asked about fatigue, they use phrases such as, I feel run down, I am out of energy, I am unable to do anything, I cant get motivated.

Fatigue and Depression
There is a large overlap between fatigue and other problems in PD, especially depression and sleep disorders. People with fatigue are more likely to be depressed and people who are depressed are more likely to be fatigued, but there is nonetheless a large group of PD patients who are fatigued but not depressed. Depression in PD typically responds to antidepressant treatment, and depression-related fatigue may improve with such treatment.

Causes Of Fatigue In Parkinsons Disease
Many of the symptoms of PD, including slow movement, muscle stiffness, depression, and changes to sleep quality can cause or worsen the symptom of fatigue.
Akinesia Fatigue may be caused by akinesia . People experiencing akinesia find it challenging to accomplish simple tasks, requiring significantly more energy to get through the daily activities.
Muscle fatigue Many of the symptoms of PD that affect the muscles, like stiffness, cramping, tremor, and difficulty starting movement, put extra stress on the muscles, causing fatigue. In addition, some people with PD experience muscle atrophy, in which the muscles shrink and weaken due to lack of use. Muscle atrophy decreases a persons stamina and endurance, contributing to the sense of fatigue.
Depression Depression is another common non-motor symptom of PD, occurring in approximately 40% of people with PD. Depression can cause fatigue, adding to a sense of low energy or lack of motivation.
Sleep disturbance PD often causes changes in sleep cycles, which can add to a sense of fatigue during the day.
Medications Some of the medications used to treat PD, including dopamine agonists, can cause fatigue as a side effect. Others may cause insomnia as a side effect, leading to daytime fatigue.1,2
Coping With Fatigue In Pd
Fatigue in Parkinson Disease
Fatigue can make motor symptoms, like tremors, seem like they are worst when they are not. Dr. De León has a list of eight things you can do to prevent or improve fatigue, If you still have severe fatigue discuss it with your physician because there are some medications which can help. The key is well adjusted medications, exercise, good nutrition, and rest at least 5 minutes every day.

Pharmacologic Therapies For Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
If nonpharmacologic strategies do not improve EDS, drug therapies can be considered. There are few recommendations for the pharmacological management of EDS in PD, as few multicenter clinical trials have been conducted in this area. A Movement Disorder Society evidence-based medicine review concluded that there was insufficient data to recommend any specific drug for the long-term treatment of EDS in PD patients. Limited data exist for the use of wakefulness-promoting agents such as modafinil and armodafinil or stimulants such as methylphenidate or dextroamphetamines.
Sodium oxybate
A single-center, open-label study reported that istradefylline, a selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonist, significantly improved EDS 2 and 3 months after PD patients received 2040 mg/d istradefylline once daily in the morning. The underlying mechanism may be that istradefylline enhances alertness while having no negative impact on sleep. Efficacy conclusion for istradefylline is under investigation. The use of istradefylline might be helpful in clinical practice, although further studies are warranted.
Insights Into Fatigue From Other Disorders
Although perceived fatigue is probably similar among different illnesses, there may be disease-specific differences. Both similarities and differences may provide insights into fatigue pathophysiology. Similarities in fatigue would be compatible with a hypothesis of shared mechanisms, and thus the possibility of similar interventions. The high prevalence of fatigue in medical and psychiatric disorders points either to some very generalized mechanisms or a limitation in the brains ability to distinguish perceptions. We limited our review of other disorders with prominent fatigue, but excluded chronic fatigue syndrome because of its frequent association with psychiatric disorders such as personality disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder that might confound physiological interpretations.

Pathophysiology Of Fatigue In Pd
Most of the evidence suggests that fatigue is an intrinsic symptom to the pathobiological substrate of PD rather than a secondary or reactive phenomenon. For instance, it may precede motor symptoms in a substantial number of patients with PD. In most patients, fatigue did not correlate with PD duration or motor disability,, although some studies indicated that it worsened with underlying disease progression., , However, the interpretation of fatigue in PD is significantly confounded by its clustering with depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and apathy. Although it was present in over a onehalf of nondepressed patients with PD and in at least onethird of drugnaive patients in the initial motor stage of the disease, fatigue in PD was related to the severity of depressive symptoms., Fatigue was 1 of the diagnostic criteria for a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th editionbased diagnosis of both major depressive episode and generalized anxiety disorder. However, it is still not clear whether the observed overlaps of fatigue with affective disorders and apathy reflect a diagnostic bias or common pathophysiological mechanisms. A concept of primary fatigue and secondary fatigue has been proposed. In general, it is distinguishable from other related symptoms, such as depression, apathy, and sleepiness, suggesting that fatigue in patients with PD is largely a primary symptom and is not secondary to mood disorders, sleep alterations, or medications.

INEC disassociates self from social media images of under-aged voters
By NAN
13 February 2018 | 10:32 am
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disassociated itself from the current videos and pictures in the social media platforms, showing under-aged persons thumb-printing ballot papers and voting in an election.
INEC made the clarification in a statement signed by its Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi in Abuja on Tuesday.
Osaze-Uzzi said the images which have gone viral did not relate in any way to any election organised, conducted or superintended by the commission.
The director said the commission could not be held directly or vicariously liable for an exercise outside its legal purview.
"It should be pointed out here that local government elections are exclusively the responsibility of the respective State Electoral Commissions, who are in no way under the control and supervision of INEC.
"As far as the commission is concerned, they relate to a local government election conducted at the weekend, over which INEC has no legal control or responsibility whatsoever," he stated.
Osaze-Uzzi restated the commitment of INEC to sanitising the electoral process of the country.
"The commission remains resolute in its commitment to sanitise the nation's electoral process and deliver free, fair and credible elections," he said.
The director said INEC was doing all it could to ensure a credible register of voters.
He said that in addition to running the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), the commission would employ its business process rules to weed unlawful entries.
He said INEC was aware of the challenges encountered in some quarters by prospective registrants in the ongoing nation-wide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
Osaze-Uzzi said steps had been taken to ameliorate the situation through the acquisition and deployment of new Direct Data Capture (DDC) machines for registration.
The director said the commission had also increased the number of registration centres in the affected areas.
He appealed to those who did not register in the previous registration exercises to do so now.
He gave the assurance that the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) of those who registered in 2017 would be ready for collection in May 2018.

Is there a reason why a person's location is not a requirement? At a minimum what state they are in. If you have an interest in a post/member, it makes a difference if getting together is feasible or not.
I feel personally that if a individual wishes to have known their location it should be up to them. I have come across at times when someone you get to know turns out to be a stalker. Safety is Paramount on sites like this and others.
People are entitled to privacy. Those who don't give their location probably aren't looking or want online only, so their location is a moot point. Anyone looking to meet someone local will have their state up at the least.
I understand that safety and privacy are a concern for all and I'm not beating a drum here. And to all the strictly online seekers, one of you could be on the moon. Just an additional point of interest.
People hae a lot of reasons for not having that out.
Security clearance, stalking, TRO, kids.. ect.
I know a beloved person who has had to move put of state because of their last "dominant".
They are afraid if they say what state they are in that a visit is a given.
When I was first on FetLife and I found that people were living in the Holy See I actually thought they were in Rome. And I wrote them to ask what was that like? Never did receive an answer though.
I don't feel it should be a requirement. If you are interested in who they are and start talking ask them. Then if they are to far away make your decision. Just like on the age yes to some it makes a difference but again does this make the person unapproachable if you don't.
With the way things are in today's world we have every right to protect ourselves. If it means by any way possible so be it. With as much problems as I've had I still have my state up. It's large enough state it would be hard to determine but yes I have in my profile. But it will still be hard to find me. Let's not forget in the day of technology those who want to find they will.
All in all its a person's choice. And a double edge sword.

Manchester United hired Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as its permanent manager as a reward for leading the team to 14 wins in 19 games in his impressive interim spell. The former United striker has turned United's season around after replacing Jose Mourinho as coach on Dec. 19, leading the team into the Champions League quarterfinals and also reviving its bid for a top-four finish in the English Premier League.
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United hired Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as its permanent manager on Thursday as a reward for leading the team to 14 wins in 19 games in his impressive interim spell.
The former United striker has turned United's season around after replacing Jose Mourinho as coach on Dec. 19, leading the team into the Champions League quarterfinals and also reviving its bid for a top-four finish in the English Premier League.
More than that, he has the team playing in an attractive style while also lifting the gloom that lingered at the club in the final months of Mourinho's tenure.
Solskjaer accepted a new three-year contract.
When Solskaer was appointed on a temporary deal, United was sixth in the league and 11 points off fourth place — the last spot to gain automatic qualification for next season's Champions League. Now United is in fifth place but only two points behind fourth-place Arsenal, after losing just one of its 13 league games under Solskjaer.
In the Champions League, United beat Paris Saint-Germain over two legs in the last 16 and next faces Barcelona.
Solskajer said almost immediately that he wanted the United job on a full-time basis, having played for the English club from 1996-2007 and scored 126 goals in 266 appearances. His most famous goal was his late winner in the 1999 Champions League final.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was widely regarded as the front-runner to replace Mourinho, but United's results under Solskjaer meant the Norwegian quickly became favorite. The team won its first eight games under Solskjaer and didn't lose until its 12th game under him.
Solskajer can begin planning for the future as he looks to win the Premier League with United, which hasn't been English champion since 2013, the last year of Alex Ferguson.


NFL notebook: Friction growing between Redskins coaches, Norman?
The source of Washington cornerback Josh Norman's benching at the start of the second half of the Redskins' Monday night loss to New Orleans has reportedly been revealed, and it could be a sign of growing tension between the star player and the coaching staff.
Norman wasn't benched for his play, but rather for refusing to take off his headphones as Washington coach Jay Gruden spoke to the team at halftime, according to Redskins pregame show host Kevin Sheehan, who discussed it on his podcast Friday.
"At halftime, according to my source, put his headphones on while the coaches were addressing the team. Jay Gruden told him to take them off. He either didn't hear Jay or he ignored him, but with that, I was told, the headphones were removed. By whom? My source says that he believes it was Gruden who removed the headphones from Norman's head. But regardless, Gruden benched him to start the third quarter, and that was the reason why," Sheehan said, according to a Washington Post transcript.
Sheehan also said there seems to be some tension between Norman and several of the team's coaches. Norman was benched for five plays and allowed two touchdowns on two targets, good for a 158.3 passer rating, per Pro Football Focus.
Norman also got into a short-lived Twitter beef with Saints No. 1 wide receiver Michael Thomas following the game, after Thomas caught four passes for 74 yards in the Saints' lopsided 43-19 win. Thomas was fined $10,026 by the NFL on Saturday for his unsportsmanlike conduct during the game.
—Former Green Bay fullback Jim Taylor, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, died Saturday morning at age 83, the team announced.
Known for his bruising running style, he played in Green Bay from 1958-66 and exceeded 1,000 rushing yards each season from 1960-64. He ran for a league-high 1,474 yards in 1962 when the Packers won the NFL championship. The Associated Press named him the league MVP that season — before he ran for 85 yards in the title game, a bruising defensive battle against the New York Giants.
A contemporary of fellow Hall of Fame member Jim Brown, Taylor played second fiddle to the faster Brown. He took it personally and viewed each of the games between Brown's Cleveland team and his Packers as a personal match. In their three head-to-head games, including the 1965 NFL Championship Game, the Packers won all three, with Taylor outgaining Brown in two of them.
Taylor led the Packers in rushing in seven seasons, and he started at fullback on six of Vince Lombardi's seven NFL championship teams. He entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio in 1976 — the first member of Lombardi's team to receive the honor.
—The Cleveland Browns will sign former Baltimore Ravens receiver Breshad Perriman to bolster a receiver corps with only four healthy players, according to multiple reports.
The Ravens drafted Perriman in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft but released him in September. His career has been marred by injuries and dropped passes. Since entering the league, the 25-year-old Perriman has 43 catches for 576 yards and three touchdowns in 27 games. He never has gained more than 65 receiving yards in a game.
—The Green Bay Packers are listing starting wide receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison as questionable with hamstring injuries for Monday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Cobb has missed the previous two games, while Allison has sat out one game. Cobb has 17 receptions for 194 yards and one touchdown, and Allison has 19 catches for 289 yards and two scores. Both players were limited practice participants on Saturday for the third consecutive day.
The 49ers are hopeful that running back Matt Breida (shoulder, ankle) will be available. He returned to practice on Saturday in a limited role. He was listed as questionable, and his availability will be decided on Monday.

Reba McEntire Was Sadly Missed on the 2020 Grammy Awards Red Carpet
January 27, 2020 February 11, 2020 badminLeave a Comment on Reba McEntire Was Sadly Missed on the 2020 Grammy Awards Red Carpet
Ugh! Reba McEntire skipped out on the 2020 Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 26. The iconic country crooner was sorely missed as the stars arrived on the 62nd annual awards show red carpet at the Staple Center in Los Angeles.
Prior to the awards show, Reba, 64, was last spotted enjoying a lavish vacation in Barbados. The "Night the Lights Went out in Georgia" songstress was all smiles as she went turtle watching on a boat during her well-deserved retreat on January 2.
The Grammy award winner's fun-filled vacation comes months after she became a newly-single woman. Despite ending her two-year relationship with ex-boyfriend Anthony "Skeeter" Lasuzzo in May 2019, Closer Weekly exclusively confirmed, Reba seemed to be anything but suffering from post-breakup blues.
Since calling it quits with the retired geologist, Reba has been optimistic about what the future has in store. "Reba feels like this is kind of a new start for her," an insider exclusively revealed to Closer in December 2019, noting the "Fancy" singer is "single" and "going back on the road" soon.

"She feels like her past couple of albums have opened her up to new fans and she loves that," the insider added. "She feels young and energized and is staying open to all new possibilities coming her way. Reba says she can't believe how lucky she is that her fans have stayed loyal to her for all these years."
Despite any excitement she has for her future, the Academy of Country Music Award winner — who first met Skeeter, 64, in August 2017 during a family vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming — remains on good terms with her former beau.
"They remain great friends," the source insisted. "Reba and Skeeter feel like they're just at different points in their lives. Maybe they'll get back together when Reba is ready to settle down a bit more, but she's not there yet."
Plus, the insider dished, Reba has her hands full with her busy Hollywood career. Although only time will tell whether the "Does He Love You" singer — who was also previously married to Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015, as well as Charlie Battles from 1976 to 1987 — would get back with her amicable ex, she wants to spend the next few years focusing on her family and fans.
"She feels so fulfilled by her career and feels like she has so much to share with her fans," the insider explained. "She's really looking forward to her new projects, especially getting back on the road with her longtime friends and collaborators Brooks and Dunn."
And don't forget to share this story with your family and friends.
Bless Your Heart!

PANMUNJOM -- The two Koreas agreed to hold the third summit between their leaders in September in the North Korean capital at high-level talks that took place Monday in the truce village of Panmunjom amid concerns about the delayed implementation of peace accords agreed earlier.
The agreement was contained in a brief joint statement, which was issued at the end of talks in Panmunjom, the venue for two rounds of talks between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, according to pool reports. Moon and Kim issued the so-called Panmunjom Declaration at their first meeting in April.
At Monday's talks, led by South Korean Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon and his North Korean counterpart, Ri Son-gwon, the two sides had serious discussion on how to implement the declaration "more actively" and agreed to hold the third summit in Pyongyang in September.
"The date has been set," Ri told reporters, declining to give details. At his statement wrapping up Monday's talks, he urged both sides to faithfully implement what was agreed between them, warning inter-Korean rapprochement could be disrupted by "unexpected" problems.
Practically, the summit is not possible before September 10, presidential spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom told reporters, citing Pyongyang's internal political events. North Korea marks the 70th anniversary of its foundation on September 9.
This year, Kim has taken a series of peace overtures that included the suspension of missile and nuclear tests, the shutdown of a nuclear test site and the dismantlement of key facilities at its base for intercontinental ballistic missiles and engine testing.
In April, Moon and Kim agreed to work on ending the status of war, stop all hostile acts against each other and replace a fragile armistice signed at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War with a lasting peace regime.
At Monday's talks, Cho said that South Korea called for "quick" negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang to spur progress in inter-Korean relations while North Korea explained its position on denuclearization.

Hair Salons For Ethnic Hair in River Club?
The following list of the 5 most influential hair designers in history is by no means inclusive of all the hair designers that have become famous and forever affected the popular styles of men's and women's hair. This is completely subjective- just one person's list of the 5 people who seem to have positively changed this industry the most.
1. Kenneth Battelle
This was the first hairdresser who was commonly known simply by his first name. Kenneth became a legend in the 1960s thanks to his work on Marilyn Monroe's hair, making it look soft and lovely despite countless bleaches and perms. Ironically, he was the one who did her hair when she sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F Kennedy, and he was also the one responsible for Jackie Kennedy's famous bouffant hairstyle. Other famous clients that Kenneth worked with included Lauren Bacall and Audrey Hepburn.
5. Paul Mitchell
Although he is now deceased, Paul Mitchell is still a huge influence on hair stylists all over the world. As co-founder of the world-renowned Paul Mitchell brand, products are available in stores everywhere across the globe, and he has been a household name since the 1970s and 1980s when his cuts appeared on the covers of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. Many attribute Paul Mitchell with freeing women from the constraints of bouffant hairstyles.
Are you in search of silky, sleek, ready-for-the-runway hair without an exhaustive daily routine? Keratin treatments may be just the solution you're looking for in order to tame your hair. Whether you call them Brazilian keratin treatments or by one of the many brand names on the market today, a keratin treatment is ideal for the fashion-forward of any ethnicity. Keratin treatments for African American hair can have especially dramatic results.
With the professional application of a treatment, hair becomes straighter, more resistant to tangles and the overall condition of your hair may even improve. Unfortunately, there's also quite a bit of misinformation and myth surrounding the keratin treatment for African American hair.
What are the Benefits for African American Hair?
If your hair is difficult to comb or has been subjected to harsh treatment in order to achieve straight, glossy tresses, a treatment can help to make a very real difference in the appearance and condition of your hair. The primary benefit for African-American hair, aside from shine and straightness, is the lack of harsh chemicals like calcium hydroxide and ammonia. Treatments can also be applied to hair which has been previously processed with color, bleach or highlights is a good candidate for keratin, which is not always the case with chemical relaxers.
Keratin treatments can have a significant affect on the straightness and appearance of your hair, but they do require a bit of upkeep in order to look their best. For the day of treatments and a few days afterwards, it's not advised to get your hair wet, sweat heavily or apply other products to your hair. It's also not advised to put your hair up, either with elastics or pins. Unlike chemical relaxers, keratin treatments will also gradually wash out over time. To reduce wash-out and extend the life of your treatment, customers are advised to use sulfate-free shampoos, conditioners and products.

Women's watches have led the way for minimalist designs in recent years, boasting that understated styles truly are what's hot in the world of watches.
However, the market for modest men's designs is one that's growing, shunning the idea of a typically masculine watch being big, bold, and packed full of dials.
Here are our top selections for achieving a modest look in terms of wrist wear, featuring a range of different colours and makers - pick your fave and transform your style!
There's no reason why modest has to mean boring - this skeleton timepiece from Royal London is beautifully designed, with the watch face being the standout feature.
Although a series of intricate details are on show, the piece uses batons and a simple two-tone colour scheme to retain its modesty. The strap comes with a classic pattern, and accentuates the style that exudes from the face.
The width of the piece is only 32mm, so it's a watch that's very subtle in shape. Still shiny and eye-catching, it won't go unnoticed despite its size.
If you're looking for something that's even more minimal in design to the piece above, then there certainly are pieces on the market to satisfy this style craving.
The Braun Men's Watch is just about as subtle as they come, being created using only three colours. While the majority of the piece is silver and black, just a touch of yellow is used to stop the watch from ever looking too monotone.
The face is very simplistic in design, with no numbers used to tell the time, and a subtle Braun logo to add a few extra style and pedigree points to your wrist.
In terms of size, it's 35mm wide, therefore being slightly larger than the piece above, but still well within the category of a slim watch.
A minimalist watch doesn't have to be made up of dark colours, as this Birline Stanmore watch proves. The green strap is perfectly offset by the white and gold casing and face, creating a perfect trio of shades.
A combination of batons and numbers are utilised here, keeping it traditional yet simple in design. The round face of the Stanmore is also very traditional, helping to spread classic simplicity throughout the piece as a whole.
At 40mm wide, it's a minimal watch in terms of size too, not just colour and shape, making it an ideal choice for people who like to keep their fashion accessories understated.
In stark contrast to the piece above, the Stiletto Eco-drive watch from Citizen relies on one main colour to make its mark. It's solid black, with only the Citizen logo on the strap to provide contrast.
The advantage of such a colour scheme is that it's as minimalist as possible, while the watch face continues the same theme by utilising few instruments to actually function as a time-telling gadget. The batons and hands are incredibly thin, and there are no additional dials to overcomplicate matters.
Size-wise, it' 36mm wide - a slender timepiece that sits comfortably on your wrist. As it's black it'll still standout, even though it's not a big watch.
The Hugo Boss Jackson watch mixes dark and light colours to great effect, creating a minimalist men's watch that doesn't rely on white or black to achieve its looks.
Separate shades of blue are fused together with an outer layer of gold in this watch - two colours that go hand in hand in the fashion world, with its leather strap providing an additional layer of traditional quality.
At 44mm it's the joint-widest watch in this blog post, however, that's still very narrow for a timepiece in general. This means that it's fully capable of achieving serious levels of subtlety, teaming up well with a variety of colours in your wardrobe.
Minimalist watches are very much a present-day trend for both men and women's fashion. These five options will allow you to achieve the modest and subtle look, while still retaining masculine aspects of timepiece design.

Review: Crime or Punishment?!? (2009)
Keralino Sandrovich directs self-penned Crime or Punishment?!?, a Japanese film that contains an enjoyable jumpy storyline
ShareAll sharing options for:Review: Crime or Punishment?!? (2009)
Most movies don't persuade the viewer that sending a person down for murder could be the ultimate act of love, but then most films aren't Crime or Punishment?!?. The adjective 'wacky' is so often used to describe things from Japan that it has become a completely banal and trite observation, but this film is so completely batshit insane that it could only have come from Japan.
Directed and written by Keralino Sandrovich (born Kazumi Kobayashi, he is a renowned theatre director, musician, and actor), Crime or Punishment?!? is like David Lynch reading a Kafka novel through a metaphorical pair of Marx Brothers glasses. Through its complicated, jumpy storyline, a vague plot can be surmised – a struggling model is taken on, after committing a minor crime, as the Chief of Police. It's ostensibly a PR stunt but the police staff, for reasons that are never quite made clear, treat her as the real Chief of Police and look to her for guidance and orders as a kidnapping unfolds.
Throughout the two hours the viewer spends ensconced in this funny, disturbing, gory and colourful world, many different things happen – a serial murderer who 'loves people to death' is prevented from confessing his crimes; a man in love with a girl in a supermarket gets hit by a truck; a ragtag trio of small-time crooks argue amongst themselves, resulting in the possible deaths of their pet fish; all of these stories, whose positions in the narrative are never quite clear, come together at the end in what amounts to a satisfactory but not completely satisfying ending.
That's not to say that the film isn't entertaining, however; far from it. This film is perfect for fans of Japanese television, such is its bland yet colourful style. The film is stylish but isn't very cinematic at all and feels strangely lacking visually. In a way this suits the film as it seems less imposing as a result – audiences seem to have more patience with confusing television shows than they do with confusing films, so the unprepossessing and unrefined style works in its favour. Even with no experience of Asian television, anyone reasonably au-fait with Asian cinema, Korean comedy in particular, will recognise certain tropes that appear in this film – an obsession with placing attractive girls in positions of power, or arming them with especially brutal weapons; the stereotype of the loner businessman whose only life is his work; the handsome, young man who is slightly roguish but ultimately just wants to be loved; and idiotic policemen.
In its humorous portrayal of the Japanese police force, it could be seen as a more cartoonish version of the Korean-made Memories of Murder, and fans of the latter would do well to seek out this film. It's fun and, with work, is deeply enjoyable. Just remember that sometimes, things aren't always supposed to make complete sense.

Book an Appointment with Janelle!
Janelle Hanson walked into a tattoo shop with her portfolio in hand when she was eleven years old in hopes of securing a job. Needless to say, her dream was shattered and after receiving a pep talk by one of the artists, he kindly gave her a ride home. After graduating high school and serving in the military, fourteen years later she became an apprentice at that very shop and earned her way into the artist's chair.
Her work ethic and dedication to making her dream a reality has helped her come a long way in just a short amount of time. She has now been tattooing for three years and enjoys tattooing neo-traditional, realism and the mixture of both combined. Janelle is very proud of her Scandinavian descent and she is even a self-proclaimed relative of Eric the Red. When she is not tattooing she loves to cuddle with her animals, watch movies and playing video games. Her obsession with Harry Potter is unhealthy, leading her to believe she really is part of the world. Ravenclaw all the way!
Meet ace inker (and 'Ink Master' contestant) Janelle Hanson
The first time Janelle Hanson got a note from someone associated with "Ink Master," the hit Paramount Network reality show that puts tattoo artists in competition with one another for fame and fortune, she doubted it was legitimate.
Hanson, 31, a Duluth, Minnesota, native who came to Madison in late 2017 to work at Iron Quill Tattoo on the west side, knew the industry at its worst. She apprenticed when women were mostly unwelcome. If doors didn't slam in her face, she was subjected to sexual harassment.
So what to make of the email from "Ink Master" in fall 2018 saying there was interest in possibly having her on the show?
Hanson spoke to her boyfriend, Andy Hyde, also a tattoo artist at Iron Quill.
"Do you think it's real?" she asked him.
"Let them know you're interested," Hyde responded.
Three months and numerous messages later, Hanson left for New Jersey under strict orders to tell no one that she'd been cast in season 12 of "Ink Master," which began airing in June.

Q: jquery get value of group of radio buttons this is my html code:
<form name="dform">
<fieldset>
    <input type="radio" class="yes" name="g1" value="1"/> Yes

    <input type="radio" class="no" name="g1" value="0"/> No
</fieldset>
    <fieldset>
   <input type="radio" class="yes" name="g2" value="1"/> Yes

        <input type="radio" class="no" name="g2" value="0"/> No
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
    <input type="radio" class="yes" name="g3" value="1"/> Yes

        <input type="radio" class="no" name="g3" value="0"/> No
    </fieldset>
    <input type="reset" class="reset" value="RESET"/>

</form>

N/A

i would like to set the value like this:

*

*If yes gets 3, result will be "Low"

*If yes gets 2 score, result will be "Medium"

*If no gets 3 or 2 score, result will be "High"

*No check for any radio button will show "N/A"

*1 score for each yes and no will also show "N/A"

and I've tried my jquery script like this:
function scoring(){
        var score_yes = 0;
        var score_no = 0;
        $(".yes:checked").each(function()){
            score_yes += parseInt ($(this).val());
        });

        $(".no:checked").each(function(){
            score_no += parseInt ($(this).val());
        });

        if($(score_yes)==3){
            $("#result").html('LOW');
        }else if($(score_yes)==2){
            $("#result").html('MEDIUM');
        }else if(($(score_no)==3){
            $("#result").html('HIGH');
        }else if($(score_no)==2){
            $("#result").html('HIGH');
        }else{
            $("#result").html('N/A');
        }
    }
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".yes:checked").change(function(){
        scoring();
    });
 });

but it didn't work. What should I fix?

A: Some syntax errors and score_yes should not be wrapped with jQuery
function scoring(){
        var score_yes = 0;
        var score_no = 0;
        $(".yes:checked").each(function(){
            score_yes += parseInt(this.value);
        });

        $(".no:checked").each(function(){
            score_no += parseInt(this.value);
        });

        if(score_yes==3){
            $("#result").html('LOW');
        }else if(score_yes==2){
            $("#result").html('MEDIUM');
        }else if(score_no==3){
            $("#result").html('HIGH');
        }else if(score_no==2){
            $("#result").html('HIGH');
        }else{
            $("#result").html('N/A');
        }
    }
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".yes").change(function(){
        scoring();
    });
 });

DEMO

A: There were many issues from extra parenthesis in a couple places to wrapping an int in a jquery object ($(score_yes) for example) to binding on .yes:checked (I believe you want .yes, .no as both those would change the #result). There was also a bit of simplification you could do. I believe this is what you want:
fiddle
function scoring() {
    var score_yes = $(".yes:checked").size();
    var score_no = $(".no:checked").size();

    if (score_yes == 3) {
        $("#result").html('LOW');
    } else if (score_yes == 2) {
        $("#result").html('MEDIUM');
    } else if (score_no == 3) {
        $("#result").html('HIGH');
    } else if (score_no == 2) {
        $("#result").html('HIGH');
    } else {
        $("#result").html('N/A');
    }
}
$(document).ready(function () {
    $(".yes, .no").change(function () {
        scoring();
    });
});

A:   function scoring(){
    var score_yes = 0;
    var score_no = 0;
    score_yes = $(".yes:checked").size();

    score_no = $(".no:checked").size();

   if(score_yes==3){
        $("#result").html('LOW');
    }else if(score_yes==2){
        $("#result").html('MEDIUM');
    }else if(score_no==3){
        $("#result").html('HIGH');
    }else if(score_no==2){
        $("#result").html('HIGH');
    }else{
        $("#result").html('N/A');
    }
}
$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#dform input:radio").change(function(){
    scoring();
   });
});

A: You can do that a lot simpler:
function scoring() {
    var score_yes = $("input.yes:checked").length;
    var score_no = $("input.no:checked").length;

    if (score_no >= 2)
        return 'HIGH';
    else if (score_yes == 3)
        return 'LOW';
    else if (score_yes == 2)
        return 'MEDIUM';
    else
        return 'N/A';
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('input[type="radio"]').change(function(){
        scoring();
    });
});

A: My own suggestion would be:
/* caching the radio inputs, to save time later
   (assuming there's a static collection):
*/
var radios = $('input[type="radio"]');

// setting up the event-handler:
radios.change(function(){
    // filtering for how many '.yes' inputs are checked:
    var yes = radios.filter('.yes:checked').length,
    // filtering for how many '.no' inputs are checked:
        no = radios.filter('.no:checked').length;

    // setting the text of the '#result' element:
    $('#result').text(function(){
        /* assuming a binary decision, then only, at most,
           half of the total number of elements can be checked, if they are
           all choices have been made:
        */
        if (yes + no === (radios.length)/2) {
            /* if 'yes' scores more than 1 (so either 2 or 3) we return 'Low',
               otherwise 'High':
            */
            return yes > 1 ? 'Low' : 'High';
        }
        // some are unchecked, therefore we return 'N/A':
        else {
            return 'N/A';
        }
    });
// triggering the 'change' event on DOM-ready, in case of default-checked radio inputs:
}).change();

JS Fiddle demo.
References:

*

*change().

*filter().

A: You had multiple syntax errors in your code where you had extra { or ( where they were not needed. Also your main problem was that the selector for your change listener, $(".yes:checked"), only selected radio buttons that were already checked. You could change this by using $("input[type='radio']") as your selector. The full example you had can be found below
DEMO
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("input[type='radio']").change(function () {
        var score_yes = 0;
        var score_no = 0;
