I'm sure you've heard of the expression "patient zero" in the past.
It's a term used to refer to the first patient linked to a condition.
But did you know that the very first "Patient Zero" was a French Canadian?

Gaëtan Dugas was a man from Quebec city who worked as a flight attendant for Air Canada, and for years it was believed (this has been refuted) that he was responsible for initially bringing HIV to North America.
In 1984, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that Gaëtan Dugas was at the center of a network of sexual partners who were infected with HIV.
The theory seemed so plausible. After all, Dugas traveled the world because of his job and was apparently extremely sexually active, having had over 25,000 sexual partners.
Dugas was referred to as "Patient o", as in the letter, not the number "zero". The "o" stood for "outside the area" because Dugas was from Quebec, but for some reason people interpreted it as a "zero" so the term "patient zero" was coined.
The rumor that Dugas was the cause of the virus became widespread. There were even books written about it where Dugas was portrayed as a sociopath who was intentionally infecting people.
People believed this fact for decades, which meant that Quebec was technically being held responsible for bringing HIV to America.
And that's probably not something we would want to be famous for.
But finally, in May 2016, a group of researchers conducted a study on blood samples from gay and bisexual men in the 70s and found that Dugas was not the source of the virus. The strain he was infected was present in the US before Dugas's arrival.
And since the study that named Dugas as Patient Zero didn't have any actual scientific data to back it up, after more than 30 years, Gaëtan Dugas's name was finally cleared.

Culture and the City: Public Action and Social Participation in Rome's Experience.
The aim of this paper is to analyse the role and impact of cultural resources in urban change and growth. In particular the recent experience of Rome, where the municipal administration has often based the urban transformation of various areas upon cultural action, including contemporary architecture buildings, creative artists' work, cultural neighbourhoods and the like, is examined from a range of perspectives, focusing upon the many dilemmas faced by the public decision-maker in a complex ecosystem such as a town where residents, external users, and mass tourists share the same areas for different, and often conflicting, purposes. The main outcomes of the analysis show a substantial connection between the kind of action carried out and the possible degree of social engagement, along with the shared perception of common profiles in cultural resources. The need to activate cultural investments within a strategic framework, and the symmetrical weakness of occasional action is emphasized.

Turkish GHG emissions decreased by 3.1% in 2019
Turkey' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions decreased by 3.1% in 2019 to 506 MtCO2eq, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. The energy sector is the largest contributor (72% in 2019) to emissions, followed by the agriculture sector (13%), the industrial processes and product use (11%) and waste (3%). GHG emissions have more than doubled since 1990 (220 MtCO2eq) and GHG emissions per capita have increased by more than 50% (from 4 tCO2eq to 6.1 tCO2eq in 2019).
CO2 emissions accounted for 79% of the country' GHG emissions in 2019. More than 87% of CO2 emissions originated for the energy sector, including 35% from electricity and heat production. CH4 emissions, which represented 12% of total emissions in 2019, mostly originated form agriculture (62%). N2O emissions accounted for 8% for total emissions in 2019 and originated at 72% from agriculture.

Mounting the ERA-UTX
This document does not discuss the programming of the ERA-UTX, but rather the physical mounting of the transmitter. If using a push button only, you do not need the smaller magnetic.
Mounting the ERA-UTX as a Push Button
You can use the transmitter as a doorbell that activates when the center button is pressed.
 - Use a drill bit and two of the two included screws to mount the transmitter bracket. Make sure the arrow printed on the bracket is pointed up.
 - If mounting outside, ensure the grey silicon grommets covering the screw holes are inserted.

Mounting the ERA-UTX as a Door/Window Contact
The ERA-UTX may also be used as a magnetic door/window contact that triggers when the smaller magnet separates from the larger piece.
 - Choose mounting locations where the magnetic contact (smaller piece) can be 1/2-inch or less from the push button (the large piece).

Characteristic not implies fully invariant in finite abelian group
This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of a non-implication relation between two subgroup properties, when the big group is a finite abelian group. That is, it states that in a finite abelian group, every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., characteristic subgroup) need not satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., fully invariant subgroup)
View all subgroup property non-implications | View all subgroup property implications
- Characteristic equals fully invariant in odd-order abelian group
- Characteristic not implies fully invariant in finitely generated abelian group
- Characteristic equals verbal in free abelian group
Let be the direct sum of the infinite cyclic group and the cyclic group of order two:
Let be the cyclic subgroup of generated by.
The subgroup is characteristic
Thus, we have:
Clearly, any automorphism of sends to itself, sends to itself, and sends to itself. Thus, any automorphism of sends to itself. Thus, any automorphism of sends to itself. Note that comprises precisely those elements of that have the second coordinate equal to : in particular,, so the subgroup generated by equals. Thus, any automorphism of preserves.
The subgroup is not fully invariant
Consider the map:
This map is an endomorphism of, but the image of under this map is, which is not an element of. Thus, is not fully invariant in.

Oracle Primary key problem
I am using the book "Guerilla Oracle" By Richard J Staron to learn some basic Oracle. in the book there is a script to create a table lke this:

 CREATE TABLE ANSWERS (
 ANSWER_QUESTION_ID NUMBER(6) PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES
 QUESTIONS(QUESTION_ID),
 ANSWER_ID VARCHAR2(2) NOT NULL,
 ANSWER VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL
 )
 TABLESPACE TABLESPACE_FOR_WAIVERS
Open in new window
 ;
Then the table is to be populated with the INSERTS below, which cannot work as the PRIMARY KEY VALUE is being repeated. Has anyone figured out how to work around this?
INSERT INTO ANSWERS VALUES (1, 1, 'cassettes, cd-roms, game boy');
INSERT INTO ANSWERS VALUES (1, 2, 'color, lasers, thin paper');
INSERT INTO ANSWERS VALUES (1, 3, 'memory, storage, wireless');

Hi,
I think if you remove the primary key from create table statement then you will be able to load the data sucessfully:
As the primary key is a single field or combination of fields that uniquely defines a record. None of the fields that are part of the primary key can contain a null value. A table can have only one primary key.
So as you have the multiple repeted records in your data for which you are getting the error.
--Create the table as like below:
CREATE TABLE ANSWERS
 (
 ANSWER_QUESTION_ID NUMBER(6) REFERENCES QUESTIONS(QUESTION_ID),
 ANSWER_ID VARCHAR2(2) NOT NULL,
 ANSWER VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL
 )
 TABLESPACE TABLESPACE_FOR_WAIVERS ;
-- Insert the data into table :
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ANSWERS VALUES (1, 1, 'cassettes, cd-roms, game boy');
INSERT INTO ANSWERS VALUES (1, 2, 'color, lasers, thin paper');
INSERT INTO ANSWERS VALUES (1, 3, 'memory, storage, wireless');
INSERT INTO ANSWERS VALUES (1, 4, 'software, licensing, freeware');

Which approach is most advantageous and why?
How do I create a composite Primary Key?
composite Primary is better rather then removing the key as this can be used as refence further to make any relationship to other entitys.
In my last post I have show how you can create the composite Primary Key in your table.
You can run the attached code and check if you are able to see primary key created and also check for alll the records.
oooops....I see how the create the composite key in pinkuray's code. I'll try that
>> I see how the create the composite key in pinkuray's code
You can create Composite keys as mentioned in pinkuray's code or you can also use ALTER TABLE to create Primary keys as suggested in my first comment..
Thanks for your help, I am splitting the point between you.

IlgaAnn's Red Road Insight –
The Red Road is the Sacred Hoop. Walking it is walking in harmony and balance.
It is a circle of people standing hand in hand with All That Is in creation.
This poem by an unknown author explains it well.
To walk the Red Road is to know you stand on equal ground with
all living things. It is to know that because you were born human,
it gives you superiority over nothing. It is to know that every creation
carries a Spirit, and the river knows more than you do,
the mountains know more than you do,
the stone people know more than you do,
the trees know more than you do, the wind is wiser than you are,
and animal people carry wisdom. You can learn from every one of them,
because they have something you don't. They are void of evil thoughts.
They wish vengeance on no one, they seek Justice.
To walk the Red Road is to know your Ancestors,
to call to them for assistance. It is to know that there is good
medicine and there is bad medicine. It is to know that Evil exists,
but is cowardly, as it is often in disguise.
To Walk the Red Road, you have less fear of being wrong,
because you know that life is a journey, a continuous circle,
a sacred hoop. Mistakes will be made, and mistakes can be corrected.
If you walk the Red Road,
you know that every sorrow leads to a better understanding,
every horror cannot be explained, but can offer growth.
To Walk the Red Road is to look for beauty in all things.
To know you will one day cross to the Spirit World and you will not be afraid.

Since there was slavery in the Americas between their discovery and 1856, do we know of any Jewish slave-owners there who observed slavery-related laws of Judaism?
share|improve this question
Great question. You are not the first one to have wondered about it. There seems to be little information addressing this question directly, but check out this book, in which it is at least a minor concern of the author to point out that upstanding Jews may have been slave owners under the law in the Western Hemisphere. – WAF Jul 22 '11 at 14:56
Are there specific laws you are wondering about? – Gershon Gold Jul 22 '11 at 15:38
For that matter, I wonder if there were any Christian American slave-owners who explicitly observed the Torah's laws for slavery. – Isaac Moses Jul 22 '11 at 19:11
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was contrary to the Torah (Devarim 23:15-16). – Daniel ben Noach Jul 24 '11 at 7:29
We know that the laws of an Eved Ivri would not apply to African slaves in America. I doubt any slaves went through a half conversion to become an Eved Knani. What's left is a plain slave to whom, IINM, apply only the laws of the state (Dina D'Malchuta). IMHO the question needs to be a bit more focused. – David Perlman Jul 25 '11 at 11:11

From a conversation with Eli Faber (A professor of history at John Jay College in New York and author of Jews, Slaves and the Slave Trade: Setting the Record Straight):
The only thing I have encountered is a description of how, in Jamaica, the Jewish slave owner gave his slaves all of Saturday (Shabbat) as well as Sunday off. This was very significant because in Jamaica (I believe unlike in the eventual US), slaves were permitted to work parcels of land and sell the produce at markets. Accordingly, the slaves of Jews were able to plant more, sell more, and earn more money than those owned by non-Jews, who gave their slaves only half a day off on Saturdays, as well as Sundays. For my reference to this, as well as the source in which I found it, see the book I wrote, "Jews, Slaves, and the Slave Trade: Setting the Record Straight," page 62. Jews in Jamaica thus adhered to the Biblical prescription that slaves, servants, etc., were to be able to rest on Saturdays, too; see the fourth of the Ten Commandments ("Exodus," chapter 20). The owners in Jamaica clearly adhered to this Biblical command---though the slaves reportedly chose to work on Shabbat.
Based on his extensive research into the matter, I think we can conclude that this was the extent that Jewish slave owners observed slave-related commandments in the Americas.

I wonder if this qualifies as a slave law or a Sabbath law. – user6591 Oct 2 at 15:08
My rav says he heard (can't remember from where) that many of the black Jews in B"SD America are descended from manumitted 'avdei kena'anim. I think there was a Moroccan Jew by the name of Lewi (Levy?) who lived in the southern part of the USA then & they may be his freed slaves (there were Jewish slave owners in N. Carolina as well). These dinim are from M. Yevamoth. Jews are NOT allowed to own stam slaves. A gentile slave can have a trial period w/a potential Jewish owner for 30 days, but he must then decide if he wants to leave his gentile master & convert into a kena'ani slave who will then be obligated in the same dinim that Jewish women are obligated (kashruth, shabbath, etc.). If he opts in, his giyur is done in such a way that he will not be able to speak just before, during & after his immersion so that he doesn't announce that his giyur is not for 'avduth, but for complete Yahaduth (in such a case, he'd be a full geir & NOT a slave, but he'd OWE his value as a slave to his former master & there is such an incident as that in M. Yevamoth in Bavel). A 'evedh kena'ani's slavery is a tiqun for him. R. Eli'ezer holds for giyur in general MILAH is enough. If a gentile wished to convert, performed milah, but DIED before his immersion, then he's buried in a Jewish cemetery. Who, then, is more "Jewish?" Such a man or an 'evedh kena'ani (who we say is NOT exactly Jewish!)?

Slavery related laws that I'm aware of, refer to Jewish slaves.
There are two types of slavery regarding Jewish slaves. One is when one kidnaps a person and enslaves him. I just happened to read in this week's parsha Ki Seitzei 24:7 "If a man is found kidnaping a person of his brethren among the children of Israel, and he enslaves him and sells him, that kidnaper shall die, and you shall remove the evil from your midst."
The other is in Parshat Mishpatim when a man is in debt and pays off the debt through slavery. That is where all the slavery laws I know of are listed. Regarding how to treat him, how and when to release him etc. Does not have relevance to slavery in Americas.

the Torah says if a slave runs away You are NOT to return him to his owners – Chalutzhanal Sep 11 '11 at 23:58
when the original questioner asked about slavery-related laws, i'm assuming he meant releasing after 6 years, giving him a pillow, letting him marry etc... jewish slaves... i don't recall what youre saying being in the Torah. Which parsha is that in? Is it referring to an Eved Ivri? or non jewish slaves? – shoshana Sep 13 '11 at 23:43
It's true that there are fewer laws in the Torah about non-Jewish slaves, but they're there; they include Ex. 21:20-21 (capital punishment for beating one's slave to death), 21:26-27 (the slave goes free if his master knocks out his eye or tooth - halachah explains that this also includes various other body parts), and the one that Chalutzhanal is referring to, which is in Deut. 23:16-17. Aside from all of these, there is the halachic requirement to have one's non-Jewish slave undergo a quasi-conversion and accept some of the mitzvos (see David Perlman's comment on the question). – Alex Sep 14 '11 at 2:22

Denmark attracts more tourists in the wettest October in 20 years
New figures: October 2019 was the wettest in over 20 years. Meanwhile, the heavy rainfall didn't scare tourists away from Denmark. Figures from Statistics Denmark show that the number of overnight stays at hotels and in summerhouses in October increased by 6 per cent in comparison to the same period last year.
In October, there were 4.7 million overnight stays in total. The number of Danish overnight stays remained stable, while the number of international overnight stays increased by 11 per cent to 2.7 million in October.
"It's almost as though tourists love Denmark in the rain. But the fact that we've managed to maintain tourists' interest despite the very bad weather probably has more to do with the fact that tourist attractions have successfully communicated to tourists all that Denmark has to offer as a holiday destination," says Head of Tourism and Experience Economy at the Confederation of Danish Industry, Sune K. Jensen.
All over the country, the tourism industry and tourist destinations are making efforts to attract tourists outside the traditional high season. In the fall, there is a greater risk of poor weather that prevents outdoor activities, and it is therefore important to ensure that there are options for tourists on rainy days.
"Bad weather is no longer just a question of proper attire. Several regions have drawn up top 10 lists for tourists with proposals for indoor activities if it rains. This is a simple way to make tourists feel assured when they plan their trip - they know that they won't end up stuck in their hotel room or a summerhouse feeling bored," says Sune K. Jensen.

Sacred Time
Reformed sacred time is organized by a liturgical calendar that celebrates all the major events in the life of Jesus and of the early Church throughout the course of each year.
Sacred Space
Sacred space in the Reformed tradition is characterized by a relatively austere aesthetic, and is designed to focus attention on preaching and on the two sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Rites and Ceremonies
The meaning of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper have been among the most important and contentious aspects of Reformed theology, setting Reformed Christians off not just from Catholics but from other Protestants as well.
Worship and Devotion in Daily Life
Reformed daily life is shaped by the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers (which in Calvinism leads to idea of vocation and the Protestant work ethic), by an increased focus on all aspects of the personal lives of parishioners, and by a requirement for increased levels of education.
Reformed symbolism tends to be fairly austere, and directs attention to the key doctrines of salvation by faith (as a gift of the Spirit), the priesthood of all believers (and so a downplaying of symbols setting aside ministers as different from others), and sola scriptura (the importance of the Bible).

All athletes know the power of the imagination in helping them to accomplish a result or goal. Positive and creative use of the imagination can also help young people to develop new attitudes, new ways of thinking about themselves and others, and then to explore different ways of behaving. DEFINING TERMINOLOGY In this Toolkit, a number of words recur which are worth defining for the purposes of educators and their learners. 1 Value– A value is what is considered important in life; what makes life worth living. A value is also something that helps people decide what is right or wrong in moral terms. Heritage– Heritage is a form of legacy.

Rituals, sport movements and techniques are part of the intangible heritage. Sport– Sport is understood to mean all forms of physical activity that contribute to physical fitness, mental wellbeing and social interaction. These activities include play; recreational, casual, organised or competitive sport; and indigenous sport or games ( UNESCO 2004). Culture– Culture is everything that allows people to situate themselves in relation to the world, society and also the heritage which is passed on to them ( values, behaviour, arts, artifacts, knowledge, belief systems, stories and myths, etc.).

Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles. # 2The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of man, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity. # 3The Olympic Movement is the concerted, organised, universal and permanent action, carried out under the supreme authority of the IOC, of all individuals and entities who are inspired by the values of Olympism. It covers the five continents. It reaches its peak with the bringing together of the world's athletes at the great sports festival, the Olympic Games. Its symbol is five interlaced rings. # 4The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play. The organisation, administration and management of sport must be controlled by independent sports organisations. # 5Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement. # 6Belonging to the Olympic Movement requires compliance with the Olympic Charter and recognition by the IOC.

Gold Rush Trail Fraser Canyon Transportation Corridor National Historic Event
Once an almost insurmountable obstacle to travel into the interior, the scenic Fraser Canyon is now one of Canada's major transportation corridors. Aboriginal people were the first to open paths along the canyon walls, followed later by fur traders and goldminers walking on trails high above the raging waters. Transit was improved by the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road and later two trans-continental railways. When the Trans-Canada Highway replaced the provincial highway in the 1950′s, the Fraser Canyon's role in the national transportation network was re-affirmed.

NH hospital calls 8 over brain disease chances
Eight patients who may have been exposed to a fatal brain disease at a New Hampshire hospital have been contacted by the hospital's president, who said Thursday the patients aren't panicking.
Dr. Joseph Pepe called the Catholic Medical Center patients a day after health officials announced that they may have been exposed to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease - a brain disease characterized by rapidly progressive dementia which can cause death within months after symptoms first appearing. It has no treatment or cure.
Officials believe the extremely rare disease caused the August death of a patient who had brain surgery at the hospital in May, although the cause of death won't be certain until more tests are completed. If that patient had Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, there's a remote chance it was transmitted to other brain surgery patients because the abnormal proteins that cause the disease can survive standard sterilization practices.
In addition to the eight Catholic Medical Center patients, health officials in Massachusetts said five patients there may have also been exposed because a specialized instrument used on the New Hampshire patient had been rented and reused at Cape Cod Hospital.
The Massachusetts patients have also been notified but are believed to be at low risk because they had spinal procedures, not brain surgery, the state health department said.
About 200 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are recorded annually in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health, with the vast majority occurring spontaneously. In fewer than 1 percent of cases, the disease is transmitted by exposure to brain or nervous system tissue, and there have been only four reported cases of transmission via surgical instruments. None of those were in the United States, and the most recent case was in 1976, Pepe said.
Some hospitals might opt not to tell patients because of the low risk involved and the anxiety it could create for them, Pepe said, but it was important to keep them informed.
"We felt the risk of that anxiety did not outweigh the ethical principle of letting them know and also preventing them from possibly contaminating or exposing others should they have another brain operation," Pepe said.
The only definitive way to diagnose the disease is through a brain biopsy or autopsy. There are no screening tests, and tests that would point toward a diagnosis of the disease are only effective once symptoms such as memory loss and impaired coordination appear, Pepe said.
But he said the patients he spoke to are responding to their predicament calmly. One expressed more concern the hospital or its surgeons would be harmed by the publicity over the incident, Pepe said.
"They are all fine at this point, but I let them know that they can not only call my chief medical officer and the patient advocate... but also myself, and we will stay with them as long as they need us," he said, adding that he apologized for causing them any anxiety.
The hospital will arrange counseling sessions if any of the patients request them, he said.
"Some may get angry later on, they may have anxiety, and then there are others who do not think anything of it," he said. "One person said, 'You know, I have really many other things more concerning than this.'"

KYOTO, Japan — It makes no difference if your surgeon is a man or a woman, according to new research out of Japan. Scientists report male and female surgeons had the same rates of death or surgical complications, despite female surgeons often taking on more challenging procedures and high-risk patients.
Study authors are advocating for more opportunities for female surgeons. They note that on a global scale, women are still a minority in the surgical field. On a more positive note, the number of female physicians has increased in recent years.
More specifically, female general surgeons accounted for just 28 percent of Canadian surgeons in 2019, only 22 percent of U.S. surgeons in 2019, and 33 percent of U.K. surgeons in 2017. Meanwhile, women only account for 22 percent of physicians in Japan, and a meager 5.9 percent of surgeons. Still, prior studies in the United States and Canada reveal that the proficiency of female physicians and surgeons is actually equal to or greater than that of their male peers.
Women are more likely to take on high-risk patients
To research this topic further, researchers made use of the Japanese National Clinical Database (NCD), which features data pertaining to 95 percent of all surgeries performed in Japan. Study authors compared that data to surgical outcomes among female and male surgeons between 2013 and 2017. Additionally, they examined the relation between postoperative mortality (within 90 days of surgery) and surgical complication rates (within 30 days of surgery), and the surgeon's licensing terms.
The team placed particular emphasis on three common procedures for stomach and rectal cancer: distal gastrectomy, total gastrectomy, and low anterior resection. They chose those three because enough female surgeons have performed these surgeries to facilitate an analysis while keeping the surgeons anonymous. The complete analysis featured 149,193 distal gastrectomy surgeries, 63,417 gastrectomy surgeries, and 81,593 low anterior resection procedures.
Study authors found that female surgeons performed only five percent of these procedures and were much less likely than their male counterparts to work in high-volume medical facilities. Yet, hospitals were more likely to assign female surgeons to high-risk patients, defined as patients who were either malnourished, on long-term steroids, or with more severe disease.
Despite all that, there were no overall differences in the rates of death or surgical complications between male and female surgeons. Study authors were sure to account for other patient-related factors as well.
Female surgeons face many obstacles
Female surgeons, on average, had fewer post-registration years, and performed fewer minimally invasive (keyhole) surgeries than male surgeons. The research team speculates this could be the result of fewer training opportunities linked to preferential treatment toward male trainees, or the competing demands of women's traditional societal roles, such as raising a family.
Ultimately, the team notes that this project was observational in nature, meaning they can't make a firm conclusion about cause and effect. Study authors admit that at this time, they cannot rule out the possibility that their results are the result of other factors they did not measure. This project also failed to consider all the details on surgeons' work and personal life conditions, and it may not apply to other types of surgeries or procedures performed by surgeons with other specialties.
However, study authors still argue their findings hold scientific merit and warrant further research. This project featured the use of a highly accurate clinical database in terms of patients' preoperative condition and surgical outcomes and accounted for important patient related factors tied to the individual procedures selected.
"Many aspects can impair the successful development of female surgeons," researchers write in a media release. "Nevertheless, in this analysis, no significant difference existed in the mortality or complication rates of surgeries done by female and male surgeons, suggesting that they are equally successful in developing their surgical skills."
"More appropriate and effective surgical training for female surgeons could further improve surgical outcomes," they add.
Does the medical community need 'rapid change'?
Cherry Koh, a colorectal surgeon based in Australia, adds that these findings don't only apply to Japan; female surgeons all over the world have had similar experiences. She believes that changes across virtually all facets of society are necessary to better support women in the workforce. Leadership at all levels — government ministers, professional surgical societies, hospital managers, and departmental leads — also need to commit to change.
"Only through broad engagement can national regulations (such as targets or quotas supporting gender equity in recruitment, training, and retention) be combined with local measures (such as codes of conduct, safer workplace practices, and mentoring opportunities)," Koh concludes. "Rapid change is needed, in the interest of both clinicians and patients."
The study is published in The BMJ.

How to protect Linux against rogue USB devices using USBGuard

How to Protect Linux against Rogue USB Devices Using USBGuard
SBGuard is a Linux kernel module that allows you to create policies for USB devices based on their attributes. It can be used to prevent rogue USB devices from being connected to your system, as well as to block certain types of USB devices based on your security needs.
Install USBGaurd Package
To use USBGuard on your Linux system, you will need to install the usbguard package. This package is available in most Linux distributions and can be installed using the package manager. For example, on a Debian-based system, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install usbguard
Once the package is installed, you can start the USBGuard service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start usbguard
You can then configure the USBGuard rules by editing the /etc/usbguard/rules.conf file. This file contains a set of rules that define how USBGuard should handle different types of USB devices.
For example, to block all USB storage devices, you can add the following rule to the file:
block with-interface equals {08:*}
This rule will block any USB device that has an interface class of 08, which corresponds to storage devices.
You can also create rules that allow certain types of devices based on their attributes. For example, to allow a specific USB keyboard, you can use a rule like this:
allow with-serial equals "123456"
This rule will allow a USB keyboard with the serial number "123456". You can use similar rules to allow other types of devices, such as printers or mice.
Once you have created your rules, you can reload the USBGuard rules by running the following command:
sudo usbguard reload-rules
This will apply the new rules and block or allow the appropriate devices.
Conclusion
By using USBGuard, you can protect your Linux system from malicious USB devices. USBGuard's access control feature allows you to specify exactly which USB devices can access your system. However, it's important to remember to use other security measures as well.

Crocodile Cauldron is the name of the volcanic area of Crocodile Isle in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest ruled by Kleever. Crocodile Cauldron is, as mentioned above, very volcanic, possessing several large pits and rivers of lava. It appears to be encased in a giant Kremling skull or a statue of a Kremling skull, which has steam coming from its nostrils and glowing red eyes. Several mine shafts are located here also. The Kremling Krew had been mining for precious gems and minerals for weapons before being interrupted by the Kongs. There are remains of several ships lodged in the volcano, possibly meaning that the area may have not always been volcanic. Water also seems to flow into the area, or there is at least a large deposit of it underground, as the remains of a ship are flooded with it; the water constantly fluctuates between being boiling hot or extremely cool. At the end of Donkey Kong Country 2, Crocodile Cauldron, along with the rest of Crocodile Isle, ends up sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

The sharing economy is boosting economic empowerment for women in Jordan
Only 15 percent of women are engaged in the formal economy in Jordan. This is due to many factors including cultural and societal norms, difficulties in finding transportation to job sites, safety concerns on public transit, and the cost and availability of child care. The collaborative sharing economy is making economic participation easier for these women who are now able to engage in economic activities from their own homes.
Gig economy platforms effectively use technology to make these jobs more accessible to women, while apps allow their location to be known to alleviate safety concerns. The time-specific nature of many jobs, such as an hour of babysitting or three hours of tutoring, also clarifies where and when work is taking place, so women's families are more comfortable with their commitments. Lastly, specified rates for tasks and time help ensure women are being paid fair wages for their labor.
These online platforms allow women to build reputable brands and establish effective user interfaces. It helps legitimize their businesses and connect them to customers.
Women from all different occupations are using the sharing economy to their advantage in Jordan. Hairstyling, child care, home maintenance, and tutoring are just some of the industries where women are becoming more empowered with the help of modern technological tools.
In a country where women have a particularly difficult time finding fair wages and safe work, the gig economy is providing a path to labor equality and empowerment for women across Jordan.

Purpose of reg(RegisterLogic1)?

What are they for and what can I do with them?
I looked at the MIDI Mapping for the Reloop Terminal Mix 4 and it seems like they just light up an LED when a Button is pressed.
Thanks a lot!

With MIDI mapping you have the ability to assign more than one command to a button or knob.
Most MIDI commands in Cross have of course the command in the input section and an output in the output section to light up and LED. However, there are some command that do not have and output section but you may still want to light up and indicator in your controller to let you know that something is active or to light up when a specific value is activated in Shift logic selector.
Let us assume (not true) that the Play/Pause command did not have an output to light up the Play button in your controller but you still want an indication when play is active.
In that case you would map the Play/Pause button to the correct address and channel and would also map a Registerlogic command to that button.
Know you can map an output to the registerlogic command that would light up the LED.
Another example.
Shift logic commands have output capability, when you use ModShiftLogic you can assign for a specicic LED to come on when the selected ModShiftLogic is active.
That is not the case with the Shift Logic selector,. It has no output.
So you can't tell when a specific value for shift logic is active.
So know let us assume that you have two buttons assigned to activate the Shift selector to value 1 and the other button to Shift selector value 2.
After mapping they are functional but give no indication of which one is active.
So to get and indication you would map Register logic 1 along with Shift Selector value 1 and Register logic 2 along with Shift Selector value 2.
Know map the output of Register logic one and 2 to the desired LED.
End results is that you mapped Shift Selector commands (that have no indicator output) to perform the function. And Register Logic command (which have output) to give you the desired indication when a specific Shift selector value is active.
Hope that helps

The Clouds: Experiments in Perception, photographs by Stephan Sagmiller
In a project that questions the definition of nature, Stephan Sagmiller juxtaposes photographs of painted skies from dioramas at the Natural History Museum with actual skies photographed throughout the United States.
Sagmiller says, "It is not possible to entirely untangle the concept of nature from landscape photography, the history of painting, or the romantic ideals often embedded in these forms of representation. However, even a small rupture opens up the possibility for reflection and questioning: What is nature? What do we know about nature? How do we know what we know?"

Situated in Landkreis Gottingen in Lower Saxony, Sudharz is a largely rural district in central Germany, close to the former inner-German border. Within the case study area there are a number of small villages (e.g. Wieda, Zorge and Tettenborn). The main regional centre within the area is the town of Osterode am Harz and the main administrative town is Gottingen.
Rural Germany faced several phases of depopulation but due to long-term outmigration from the East to the West, population decline in rural western Germany has tended to be overlooked. In contrast to Germany as a whole, the population in the case study district has been steadily declining over the past number of decades. Similar to the Clogher Valley and East Groningen, it is also an ageing population and subject to younger adult out-migration. According to the share of the population aged 65 and older, it ranks among the top-five regions in Germany which is due to the overlapping of long-term outmigration, age-selective in-migration and increased longevity.

Traumatic and Complicated Grief Among Children: One or Two Constructs?
The purpose of this study was to examine the concepts of traumatic and complicated grief among children. Some authors seemingly use the concepts interchangeably, whereas others make a distinction between the two. A sample of 240 mainly parentally bereaved children were administered the Extended Grief Inventory (EGI). Two confirmatory factor analyses were run to examine the EGI factor structure and to determine whether traumatic and complicated grief are one or two concepts. Goodness-of-fit tests for the two models was considered acceptable for both models, however, the two-factor model was a better fit. Multiple regression analyses found that children's age, gender, and ethnicity were important predictors of traumatic grief but only gender was a predictor of complicated grief. Violent death was a predictor of complicated grief in an unadjusted regression analysis.

Abstract
1. The influence of theophylline on the mucosa to serosa and serosa to mucosa fluxes of HCO3- were measured by the pH stat technique in isolated segments of proximal small intestine from Amphiuma maintained under short-circuited conditions. The mucosal or serosal fluid was exposed to media containing 25 mM-HCO3- (pH 7.4) while the pH of unbuffered media in the opposite compartment was maintained by addition of acid. 2. Theophylline significantly increased the secretory flux of HCO3- and significantly reduced the absorptive flux when measured in Cl- -free (SO4(2-)) media. 3. In normal media theophylline did not alter the secretory flux but significantly lowered the absorptive flux of HCO3-. 4. Acetazolamide (0.1 mM) inhibited the theophylline-stimulated secretory flux of HCO3- and reduced the effect of theophylline on the absorptive flux. 5. In normal intestine there was an inequality between the secretory or absorptive HCO3- flux and the short-circuit current (Isc) consistent with the presence of Cl- absorption. After addition of theophylline the Isc was more nearly equal to the net secretory or absorptive HCO3- flux. 6. Exogenous cyclic AMP had effects identical with theophylline. 7. The results provide strong evidence that elevation of cyclic AMP stimulates net HCO3- secretion in urodele small intestine and provide indirect evidence that Cl- absorption is simultaneously reduced.

Kokone Mínimo is a website from Mexico designed to introduce children to basic vocabulary and concepts in their native Spanish language. Kokone means children in Náhuatl, one of the original languages of Mexico. Kokone Mínimo is a great site for Spanish language learners because it focuses on common objects and verbs and the language is presented with clear images, audio and written words. Parts of the body, vowels, shapes, colors, opposites – these are just a few of the concepts that children can learn in Spanish with the activities on this site.
The character that appears in the activities is a baby opossum called Tlacuache bebé. The word for opossum in Mexican Spanish is tlacuache. The activities are very simple, so they are a great way to introduce or review Spanish vocabulary. For most of them, to hear the audio, you click on the symbol of an ear on the right. Often there is also a pair of eyes that you click to animate the pictures.
The main menu is a set icons. When you mouse over them, you see the topic at the top of the table in Spanish. Click this link to go to the main menu of Kokone Mínimo. These are the titles and icons with a little information about the activities and the Spanish vocabulary they use.

By an Aronszajn tree, I mean a tree of height $\omega_1$ with countable levels and no branch. Such a tree is Souslin if it has no uncountable antichains and special if it can be written as the countable union of antichains. It is well known that there is both a ccc forcing and a $\sigma$-closed forcing for adding Souslin trees and, given any Aronszajn tree $T$ (Souslin or otherwise) there is a ccc forcing for specializing $T$. Therefore we can add Souslin trees, and then specialize them, giving us new special Aronszajn trees. In this post I have a variety of questions about forcings which add Aronszajn trees that are neither special nor Souslin. The most basic of these is as follows.
Question 1: What are some of the most common ways of forcing to add an Aronszajn tree which is neither Souslin nor special? In this post Mohammad Golshani cites a theorem that immediately implies that such trees exist under certain $\diamondsuit$ hypotheses. Therefore forcings to add diamonds suffice but I'm curious whether there is a more explicit forcing where the generic is actually the tree.
My next question is about killing Souslin-ness (or whatever it's called) without specializing.
Question 2: Suppose $T$ is Souslin. Does there exist a forcing notion $\mathbb P$ such that in $V^\mathbb P$, $T$ is still Aronszajn but no longer Souslin and also not special?
I'm also curious about these questions in the case of fat Aronszajn trees: Aronszajn trees with the requirement of countable levels removed. The same ccc specializing forcing works to make such trees special so under MA all such trees are special. I'm curious whether non-special fat Aronszajn trees can be built by hand using forcing.
Question 3: What forcings will add a fat, non-special Aronszajn tree?

 $\begingroup$ In these notes math.cmu.edu/~eschimme/Appalachian/EisworthMooreNotes.pdf a forcing to kill an A-tree is provided. It answers your second question. (Page 17.) $\endgroup$ – Not Mike Jan 12 '18 at 22:18
 - $\begingroup$ Regarding question 2, I suggest the following: suppose $T$ is the given Souslin tree and suppose all of its levels be countable. Let $P$ be the forcing notion for adding an antichain into $T$ using conditions which are finite antichains of $T$. The forcing is c.c.c and adds an uncountable antichain in $T$. I think $T$ is not special in the extension but I did not check it. $\endgroup$ – Mohammad Golshani Jan 14 '18 at 4:52
 - $\begingroup$ I may mention that the work of Laver-shelah to kill all $\aleph_2$-Soulin trees uses similar forcing using countable antichains. $\endgroup$ – Mohammad Golshani Jan 14 '18 at 4:52
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Mike thank you I'll check that out! $\endgroup$ – Corey Bacal Switzer Jan 15 '18 at 13:31
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Golshani Thanks as well. For both of the forcings you suggest do you know of a reference I can look at? $\endgroup$ – Corey Bacal Switzer Jan 15 '18 at 13:31
Regarding your comment before Question 3, you mean all such trees with size $<\mathfrak{m}$ are special. In particular, it doesn't say anything about trees of size $\geq 2^{\omega}$. Indeed, $T(\mathbb{R})$ where elements are bounded well ordered subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ ordered by end-extension is not special. It definitely has no uncountable branches.
For question 1, you can first add a Suslin tree (there are various ways of doing this), of which the most straightfoward one is to use countable well-pruned trees with end-extension (due to Jech). For the second step (which also gives yet another answer to the second question), you can pick $S\subset \omega_1$ that is stationary and co-stationary, and use a Shelah style forcing $Q(T,S)$ to make $T$ $S$-st-special (this means there exists a regressive function $f$ whose domain is $T\restriction S$ such that $t

High speed sintering (HSS) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that creates parts by sintering powder particles using inkjet and infrared (IR) lamp technology rather than laser systems employed in laser sintering (LS). This research investigated the effects of machine parameters (lamp speed, bed temperature) and the addition of fumed silica flow agent on the tensile properties of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) parts processed using HSS. The results showed improved elongation at break (EaB) values by a factor of more than 2× compared to reported values for LS of the same TPE. At constant parameters, improved tensile strength and tensile modulus were observed with the addition of flow agent into the sintering mixture.

Flexible AA Probe
Flexible AA Ultrasonic Probe is an accessory to IPEC's Partial Discharge Spot Testing instruments. It allows the user to complete a thorough inspection of electrical assets as the probe can reach hard to get places. The probe is a user-friendly device which has been designed ergonomically for ease of use.
Used along with a PD-SG series device, the AA Ultrasonic Probe can be used to detect Surface Tracking in difficult to reach locations. The flexible head allows for positioning in any direction whilst being able to clearly read the live results from the test unit.
Surface tracking can seriously damage high voltage insulating surfaces in a way that will ultimately lead to flashover and complete failure of the insulator. This discharge activity creates acoustic emission that can be detected using the Ultrasonic Probe. The magnitude of the acoustic emission is indicative of the degree and severity of discharge activity.

A chip-based potentiometric sensor for a Zika virus diagnostic using 3D surface molecular imprinting†
The latest Zika virus (ZIKV) pandemic caused great international concern from explosively proliferating throughout the Americas. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent Zika virus infection and available tests rely on antibodies or RNA. Unfortunately, antibody-based detection systems can result in false positive results and RNA-based detection systems are costly, time-consuming, and impractical for testing in remote regions. In this study, a potential point-of-care (POC) diagnostic system was developed using a chip-based potentiometric sensor to detect Zika virus using a 3D molecular imprinting technique. This chip-based potentiometric sensor system was able to detect 10−1 PFU mL−1 ZIKV in a buffered solution under 20 minutes without any sample manipulation. This sensor was tested against Dengue virus at clinical viral loads and showed no sign of cross-reactivity. When tested against human saliva samples containing clinical viral loads, this sensor was able to detect 10 PFU mL−1 ZIKV among the pool of bio-macromolecules. The high sensitivity and high selectivity demonstrated here proved that this lab-on-a-chip diagnostic has the potential to become a POC detection system for rapid and accurate screening of flaviviruses.

Midwest states see biggest output growth over year-earlier levels, boosted by higher per-cow production.
Dairies in the 23 major producing states churned out 1.7% more milk in December 2012 than a year earlier, boosted by higher per-cow production, USDA reported today in its December milk production report.
Milk output totaled 15.7 billion pounds last month, while production per cow rose 30 pounds over year-earlier levels to average 1,848 pounds. For 2012, cow numbers increased to 9.231 million head over 2011's 9.194 million.
Analysts called the report bearish, saying it exceeded their production projections.
Output increases were largely seen in Midwestern states. Among them:
- Wisconsin, up 5.5% over year-earlier levels to reach 2.343 billion pounds;
- Minnesota, up 4.4% to 786 million pounds;
- Michigan, up 5.5% to 762 million pounds;
- Indiana, 4.6% to 317 million pounds.
The biggest year-over-year percentage increases were seen farther west: Kansas output jumped 10% to 241 million pounds while Colorado's milk production increased by 6.3% to 272 million pounds.
Western states saw lower or flat production from December 2011 levels. California, still the nation's milk-producing leader, fell 2.3% to 3.416 billion pounds. Milk output in New Mexico and Arizona dropped.3% each, to 674 million pounds and 375 million pounds, respectively. Washington increased only.4% to 515 million pounds.
Total U.S. milk production in all states during December was up 1.6% over December 2011.

OneDrive vs Syncthing: What are the differences?
Introduction
In this article, we will explore the key differences between OneDrive and Syncthing. Both OneDrive and Syncthing are file synchronization and cloud storage solutions, but they differ in several aspects. Let's delve into their dissimilarities below.
 1. Ownership and Control: OneDrive is a cloud storage service owned and operated by Microsoft, whereas Syncthing is a decentralized, open-source file synchronization tool. OneDrive offers centralized control and management by a single entity, while Syncthing allows users to have full ownership and control over their data without relying on any external entity.
 2. Synchronization Mechanism: OneDrive uses a centralized server architecture to synchronize files between devices. When a file is modified, it is uploaded to the server, and then the changes are propagated to other connected devices. On the other hand, Syncthing employs a peer-to-peer synchronization mechanism, where files are synchronized directly between devices without the need for a central server. This decentralized approach can provide faster synchronization and reduces reliance on a single point of failure.
 3. Platform Compatibility: OneDrive is primarily designed for Windows and is tightly integrated with Microsoft products and services. It has official client applications for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Syncthing, on the other hand, is cross-platform and supports Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and Android. This makes Syncthing more versatile and enables synchronization across a broader range of devices and operating systems.
 4. Privacy and Encryption: OneDrive encrypts data in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption methods. However, the encryption keys for data stored on the OneDrive servers are managed by Microsoft. Syncthing, on the other hand, provides end-to-end encryption, where the files are encrypted before leaving the source device and decrypted only on the destination device. This ensures that data remains encrypted and private, even if it passes through untrusted servers.
 5. Network Connectivity: OneDrive relies on a stable internet connection to synchronize files between devices. It requires an active internet connection to connect to the server and exchange data. In contrast, Syncthing can synchronize files over a local network without the need for an internet connection. Devices running Syncthing can communicate directly with each other, making it useful in situations where internet access may be limited or unavailable.
 6. File Sharing and Collaboration: OneDrive provides robust file sharing and collaboration features, allowing users to share files and folders with specific individuals or set permissions for public access. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office Online, enabling real-time collaborative editing. Syncthing, however, focuses primarily on file synchronization rather than collaboration. While files can be shared and accessed by multiple devices, it does not provide advanced collaboration features like simultaneous editing or version control.
In summary, OneDrive is a centralized cloud storage service with strong integration with Microsoft products, offering extensive collaboration features. Syncthing, on the other hand, is a decentralized, open-source file synchronization tool that prioritizes privacy, platform compatibility, and peer-to-peer synchronization.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a life-simulation game in the truest sense of the term. Players can witness all kinds of weather changes in the game, which has led to some very beautiful events. Witnessing shooting stars is one such beautiful event that Animal Crossing: New Horizons players have seen within the game.
But not every Animal Crossing player knows how to find and see these shooting stars in the game. This article details how players can catch shooting stars in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
How to catch shooting stars in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Shooting stars in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be witnessed at any time of the year, especially during nights with clear skies. They usually appear anytime between 7.00 pm and 4.00 am. Additionally, shooting stars are much more likely to appear during Meteor Showers.
Fortunately, players can learn about Meteor Showers beforehand. Isabella usually announces Meteor Showers during her morning announcements, but in case players miss it, they will interact with other villagers who may talk about or mention the meteor showers.
Now that players know when they can witness shooting stars in the game, they can learn how to make a wish on these shooting stars in New Horizons.
To make a wish on a shooting star in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players must tilt their camera upwards towards the sky using the Right Control Stick. Now, when they spot a shooting star, they simply have to press the A button to make a wish. Players will know that they have successfully wished upon a shooting star in Animal Crossing if the star twinkles a bright yellow.
Wishing on a shooting star in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can yield players star fragments the next day. These fragments will wash up on the sea shore, much like shells.
Catching a shooting star in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is something worth witnessing, so make sure to keep an eye out for the next Meteor Shower!

Are there really glaciers in Colorado?
Colorado proclaims 14 named glaciers—and more than 100 unnamed—within state borders, but all of them seem rather, well, frozen in place. Aren't glaciers supposed to move? As in, are these "glaciers" actually glaciers? The answer is yes—with an asterisk. Our state is home to 141 masses of ice whose size and weight cause them to flow like a very slow river—the definition of glacierhood per the National Snow & Ice Data Center. But according to W.T. Pfeffer, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, one of our most famous glaciers isn't quite worthy of its name: Saint Mary's Glacier, while impressive, is "just a gully that traps snow in a big drift." Take that to your next pub trivia night.

Some push factors that causing Labor turnover In Private University Education in Iraq -A case study for a number of private colleges
2020, Volume 39, Issue 126, Pages 111-131
AbstractThe faculty member is considered an essential axis in the success of the private university education.. In view of the high turnover rate in the private university education sector in Iraq, as it reached nearly 40% in some colleges, which makes it a phenomenon that must be studied by researchers. Accordingly, the research aims to find out what are the reasons that push the faculty member in private university education to leave his job and move to another place, which is called push factors. The researcher followed the descriptive approach in collecting theoretical information and the survey and analysis approach in collecting field data using a questionnaire that included, in addition to personal information, questions for thirteen reasons that could be cause of labor turnover send to those who left the work( Post Exit) in a sample of private colleges through Personal interview or by sending it via electronic means of communication. The data was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS version 24.The research found that the thirteen reasons were statistically significant as a reason for labor turnover, the most important of which is the lack of security and job stability in private university education. The research also presented a set of recommendations that can contribute to reducing the phenomenon of labor turnover for faculty members in private university education in Iraq.

Reaction Paper to One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.
In the novel entitled, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Solzhenitsyn continuously refers to the pleasures of food and how the characters in the novel describe and treat it. Throughout the novel, the main character, Shukhov, emphasizes upon what food means to him. After reading these descriptions of food, I noticed that the prisoners in the prison camp treat food differently from the way I treat food.
When describing food, Shukhov describes it as a source of life. When Shukhov goes to the mess hall, one can notice how much appreciation he has for food. He thinks of it as warmth and life. He even mentions that food is more important than freedom. As a result of this appreciation, the prisoners tend to be very frugal with the food that they receive. In many cases, the prisoners would save and hide it in secret pockets for future use.
Contrastingly, I do not appreciate food as much as the prisoners in the camp. The prisoners receive a limited amount of food, while for me, it is always reachable. Because food is never out of reach, I do not see it the same way prisoners, like Shukhov, do. I tend to be less frugal with food and see food as disposable. It is never hard for me to get more food if I am hungry. However, Shukhov only receives food three times a day and can only eat otherwise if he has saved food. Furthermore, to me, food is enjoyable. The prisoners in the camp do not mind eating gruel and bread everyday and they seem to never complain because they do not have any other options. Dissimilarly, I have many options and choices when it comes to food and I even complain when food does not taste acceptable. After analyzing the ways in which the prisoners and I treat food, I realized that I should appreciate food to a certain extent. I am lucky to have food that is always reachable, and I am also lucky to have options.
