title: Falling measles vaccinations

For more information, visit our Vaccine Confidence Resource Center.
(HealthDay News) — Waning vaccine coverage has fueled a 20 percent spike in measles cases worldwide, with 10.3 million people struck by the preventable illness in 2023, health officials reported Wednesday.
“Inadequate immunization coverage globally is driving the surge in cases,” of what was once a common childhood disease, the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a joint statement issued by both agencies.
“The number of measles infections are rising around the globe, endangering lives and health,” CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said in the statement. “The measles vaccine is our best protection against the virus, and we must continue to invest in efforts to increase access.”
“Measles vaccine has saved more lives than any other vaccine in the past 50 years,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in the statement. “To save even more lives and stop this deadly virus from harming the most vulnerable, we must invest in immunization for every person, no matter where they live.”
How dire is the situation?
More than 22 million children did not receive even a first dose of the two-dose measles vaccine in 2023, according to the WHO and CDC. Globally, roughly 83 percent of children received a first dose of the vaccine last year, while only 74 percent received a second dose.
Unfortunately, health officials recommend at least 95 percent vaccination coverage to prevent outbreaks. An infected person can spread the highly contagious disease to up to 90 percent of people close to them if they are not immune, according to the CDC.
Because of global gaps in vaccination coverage, 57 countries experienced measles outbreaks in 2023, the agencies noted, representing a nearly 60 percent increase from 36 countries in 2022. Nearly half of all outbreaks occurred in the African region, according to the WHO.
In the United States, measles vaccination rates among kindergartners have missed the federal target for four years in a row and fell to 92.7 percent coverage in 2023, according to CDC data.
The drop in vaccination coverage has had consequences: An estimated 107,500 people worldwide, mostly children under the age of 5, died from measles in 2023.
While that represents an 8 percent decrease from the year before, the agencies said the “slight reduction in deaths” was mainly because the biggest surges took place in regions of the world where children with the disease were less likely to die because they had access to health care.
In the United States, 277 measles cases were reported in 31 states and Washington, D.C., in 2024, with 16 outbreaks, according to the CDC. Last year, only four outbreaks were reported in the United States.
Measles symptoms tend to include a high fever, cough, conjunctivitis (pink eye), runny nose, white spots in the mouth and a rash that spreads from head to toe. Infants and young children are most at risk of serious complications from the disease that include pneumonia or swelling of the brain, the WHO says.
Vaccination coverage for measles fell globally during the pandemic, reaching the lowest levels seen since 2008.
The new data on measles was published Nov. 14 in the CDC publication Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
How does measles affect Black people?
While the classic measles rash is a red, blotchy rash that starts on the face and spreads to the body, it can be more difficult to see on darker skin tones. In individuals with darker skin, the rash may appear as a brownish or grayish discoloration. It’s important to note that other symptoms of measles, such as fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, can still be present, even if the rash is less visible.
Measles disproportionately affects Black Americans due to a complex interplay of historical, social, and economic factors. A legacy of mistrust in the health care system, rooted in unethical medical practices like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, contributes to vaccine hesitancy within Black communities. This, combined with socioeconomic disparities, limited access to healthcare, and the spread of misinformation, can lead to lower vaccination rates among Black Americans. As a result, these communities are more susceptible to measles outbreaks, putting individuals of all ages at risk of severe complications.
The CDC has more on the measles.

Cultural Fluency and Academic Rigor – Thriving in Study Degree at University Abroad
Studying for a degree at a university abroad offers a unique blend of cultural fluency and academic rigor, providing students with an enriching experience that goes beyond classroom learning. This journey is not just about acquiring knowledge it is about immersing oneself in a new cultural milieu while delving into rigorous academic pursuits. Let’s explore how cultural fluency and academic rigor contribute to thriving in a study degree at a university abroad. Cultural fluency is a key aspect of studying abroad. It involves the ability to navigate and understand different cultural norms, values, and practices. By living and studying in a foreign country, students are exposed to diverse perspectives, lifestyles, and traditions. This exposure fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity, enhancing students’ ability to communicate effectively across cultural boundaries. Developing cultural fluency also involves adapting to new environments, embracing unfamiliar customs, and respecting cultural differences.
These experiences not only broaden students’ horizons but also help them become more adaptable, open-minded, and globally aware individuals. Moreover, cultural fluency plays a crucial role in personal growth and self-discovery. Living in a foreign country challenges students to step out of their comfort zones, confront cultural biases, and embrace new ways of thinking. This process of cultural immersion encourages self-reflection, leading to greater self-awareness and confidence. Students learn to navigate ambiguity, solve problems creatively, and collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds. These skills are invaluable in today’s interconnected world, where cross-cultural communication and collaboration are essential for success in various fields. In addition to cultural fluency, academic rigor is a hallmark of studying for a degree at a university abroad. International universities often uphold high academic standards, offering rigorous coursework, innovative teaching methods, and opportunities for intellectual growth. Students engage with renowned faculty members, participate in cutting-edge research, and gain hands-on experience through internships and projects.
This academic environment fosters critical thinking, analytical skills, and intellectual curiosity among students. Furthermore, studying abroad provides access to a global network of peers and professionals, enhancing learning opportunities and fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Students engage in lively discussions, exchange ideas, and work on collaborative projects with classmates from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds. This interdisciplinary approach to learning encourages creativity, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary thinking, preparing students for the complexities of the modern workforce. Thriving in study university abroad requires a balance between cultural fluency and academic rigor. Students who actively engage in cultural activities, participate in community events, and build meaningful connections with locals enhance their cultural fluency and enrich their overall experience. Similarly, those who challenge themselves academically, pursue research opportunities, and seek mentorship from faculty members excel academically and contribute meaningfully to their fields of study. By combining cultural fluency with academic excellence, students can truly maximize their potential and emerge as well-rounded global citizens ready to make a positive impact on the world.

Since I have no food processor (Santa, if you're reading this, hint, hint!) I got out my trusty pastry cutter, gathered my ingredients and 15 minutes later my 2 little discs of dough were ready and waiting in the refrigerator. Another 5 minutes and the dishes were washed and put away! w00t! My dough was definitely crumbly, but still workable. OK with me! The next day, I had to decide what I was going to use as a filling. I decided on two different fillings. One batch was filled with some homemade spiced plum jam, chopped hazelnuts and mini chocolate chips. And the other batch was a bit more traditional: orange marmelade, chopped pecans, dried blueberries and mini chocolate chips. I had a little trouble rolling the dough into a circle. It looked more like lace than a smooth pastry!
But the end result is so worth the work! These cookies are fantastic! I have to say, I preferred the spiced plum jam version. The chocolate and the plums go surprisingly well together. And it was a little less sweet than the marmelade version. I'm sure these would work with pretty much any good jam or preserve. And I'm sure the rest of the Tuesdays with Dorie gang tried out a lot of different versions of these fabulous little crescent cookies, so go check out the blogroll, won't you! For the recipe you can read this article on NPR, about Dorie's rugelach secrets or check out Grace's blog.
For those of you who are interested, here's the spiced plum jam recipe. It's really good!
Spiced Plum Jam
from What's For Dinner
Makes 8 cups of jam
3 pounds plums (weight with pits removed)
6 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Prepare 8 8-ounce jars for canning.
Put chopped, pitted plums in food processor or blender and puree.
Pour plum puree into large stockpot. Stir in sugar and spices, then bring to boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes, continuing to stir constantly to avoid burning the jam.
Pour into sterilized jars and seal. Store in cool dark place until ready to use; when opened, store in refrigerator.
Plain Plum Jam Alternative
Follow all instructions as above, but leave out spices.

title: Necessity of the attendance of the iranian families of the victims of terrorism in the court of members of arab struggle movement for the liberation of ahwaz terrorist group

text:
The Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism as the representative of the victims of terrorism called on Attorney Generals of Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands to prosecute and bring to justice all the accomplices of Habib Farajollah Chaab (Asyud) in respective countries and pave the way for the affected families to participate in the litigation process in the courts and other related courts in the future.
In the first part of the letter, we read the statement of the representative of the prosecutor of Tehran, “His accomplices who are involved in crimes against the Iranian people reside in the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. Since 2005, this group has killed and injured 274 Iranians in Khuzestan by bombing and armed robbery, and has inflicted a lot of damage on facilities and public places. The PJAK and Jaish-ul-Adl terrorist groups have also cooperated in these crimes.”
Then the remarks of the Danish intelligence official and Attorney General is quoted, “it had arrested three senior members of the ASMLA terrorist group. The suspects have been spying on people and companies since 2012 and sending the information to the Saudi intelligence service, said Finn Borch Andersen, head of the Danish intelligence service. Also in 2018, the Dutch Attorney General’s Office arrested another member of the group on suspicion of attempting to carry out a terrorist attack in Iran.”
In another part of the letter it is said that On 4 February 2022, a court in Roskilde, Denmark, announced that three arrested members of the terrorist group had been convicted of espionage, financing and promoting terrorism in Iran, and that their trial would continue until March.
The letter explains that “The philosophy of the trial and the ultimate value of the courts are realized in the degree of access to the element of justice and the clarification of the truth. Not hearing the voices of the victims of the crime of the terrorist group ASMLA in Iran, as a prosecutor, will have very negative effects on human rights and global security issues. Survivors of terrorist catastrophes are an important and integral part of cases related to terrorist issues and must be involved in the litigation process.”
At the end of the letter, the Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism calls on Attorney Generals of Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands “To prosecute and try all the accomplices of Habib Farajollah Chaab (Asyud) in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands and pave the way for the affected families to participate in the litigation process in the courts and other related courts in the future. Such participation is an indication of the will of the judiciaries in providing justice for the victims and an effective element in holding human rights, which has a preventive role in recurrence of the terrorist disasters in the world.”
The letter was sent to Foreign Minister and Attorney General of I. R. Iran, Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and Ms. Ghada Waly, Director of UN Office on Drugs and Crimes.

NREL advances cyber-informed engineering (CIE) in the interest of designing secure, clean energy systems and in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Cyber-Informed Engineering Strategy.
The DOE Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response sponsors NREL CIE initiatives and coordinates the CIE program that includes NREL; Idaho National Laboratory; and industry, academic, and other partners.
Check out DOE's implementation guide to learn how to apply the principles of cyber-informed engineering into engineered and cybersecurity systems.
Explore the open source cyber-informed engineering library on Idaho National Laboratory's website for support applying cyber-informed engineering principles.
CIE empowers engineers with tools and methods to integrate cybersecurity into the early design stages and throughout the life cycle of engineered systems. It is a set of principles that can be applied to any operational technology or critical infrastructure. In addition to DOE's National Cyber-Informed Engineering Strategy, CIE is further defined and discussed in the National Cyber Strategy and National Cyber Strategy Implementation Plan.
CIE is relevant to all critical infrastructure workers and helps fill the labor shortage in cybersecurity. It is a way for the engineering workforce to become more cyber-aware and implement secure decisions from design through operations, even if they are inexperienced with cyber concepts. Additionally, CIE standardization will simplify cybersecurity decisions across the entire workforce by providing trustworthy approaches and searchable resources.
As part of the CIE program, NREL and Idaho National Laboratory are leading a standard working group with stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds to explore and incorporate CIE principles into engineering standards. The national laboratories provide ideal environments to test new technological methods and gather industry consensus, which will facilitate quick and broad adoption across domains.

title: Python the swiss army knife of programming languages

text:
Let’s dive right into the topic of this blog, instead of yapping about when, how and where was python created. A simple google search will throw out those results.
The reason I love python is its versatility – ‘Where there is a Need, There is a module!’ (Well! that’s how I call Python in a nutshell. All the things that can be done with python simply can’t be covered within an article. I’ve listed down a few things I’ve used Python for and this might fire up your interest to learn Python and/or put an end to your dilemma of choosing between Python vs “any-other-language”. Let’s see the classic ‘Why Python’ before diving into What we can do with it?
sudo apt-get install python
As a programmer, you just have to think about the logic, the syntax is as easy as communicating in English. Don’t believe it? Here’s a code to see current date and time in python, from datetime import datetime print(str(datetime.time())) As recommended by many, it is the best first programming language to learn Now let’s get to the fun part, let’s see what we can do with Python Data Analysis: Python has the best packages for data analysis influenced by R language. Heroes in this domain are Pandas, numpy, scipy, and Matplotlib. Any type of data analysis and visualization can be done using these packages. Things never seem to be out of scope for these packages. Whatever we throw at them, they’ll handle them with ease and since Numpy is mostly written in C we can’t complain about the performance as it is obviously way better than core python. Python can even be connected to most of the DBs out there, from MySQL to Oracle DB. Since Big Data seems to be the talk of the town now, Python is equipped for the future. Connecting it to HIVE, MongoDB, PrestodB and more is a matter of two-line code in python. Because of its popularity, python is one of the 4 languages to have Apache Spark API support (others being Scala, Java, and R) Machine Learning: Similar to Data Analysis, another domain where Python comes in handy is Machine Learning. With sklearn and stats for supervised learning. Keras, PyTorch, and others for unsupervised deep learning. Python helps data scientists to just worry about the statistics while it does all the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Web development: Remember the names Django, Flask, and Dash Django-Beast The flask-perfect balance of ease and quality Dash- Built on top of Flask for interactive web apps Without much time one can deploy a pretty decent looking website from the ground up using these modules Python also has loads of modules for web scraping as well and, that includes Requests, urllib. Python for games: Big names like Civilization IV and Battlefield 2 use Python for some to most of its background tasks. Hence, you won’t feel left alone in Game Development community if you have python in your toolkit although you’ll still need other tools for building. https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonGames I can keep going on and on about this, but the message should be clear that Python can be used for pretty much anything we want - from manipulating your directory structure to scheduling a message on a particular time to handling streaming data using pykafka. This is my final try at convincing how cool python is, Developers from the show Mr. Robot use python for hacking into systems. What more reasons do you need to learn this beautiful language


title: Getting teeth cleaning important

text:
Teeth cleaning is a dental procedure that is performed primarily to help reduce the risk of gum and tooth disease. Also known simply as a prophylaxis or prophy, this dental procedure is recommended to be taken every six months or yearly, depending on a patient’s history. It is performed by a dentist or licensed dental hygienist who has received specialized training in dental care.
During a teeth cleaning, your dentist performs both scaling and polishing. While scaling dental tools are used to remove tartar, plaque, and stains from the teeth – including below the gum line. Polishing smoothens your teeth removing rough spots which might otherwise attract bacteria. Some dentists also offer dental sealant treatments, which are designed to strengthen teeth and further prevent tooth decay.
The most important part of a dental prophylaxis involves cleaning below the gumline. If you floss and brush your teeth regularly then you keep your teeth relatively healthy above your gums. However, below the gums it is difficult for a toothbrush to reach and it is here that dental calculus can build up. This exposes you to the risk of gum disease and dental decay.
During a teeth cleaning, your dentist will also inspect your teeth and jaw for any obvious signs of ill health. This inspection may reveal underlying medical issues such as receding gums, erupting wisdom teeth, dental cavities, or even oral cancer – some of which will require immediate treatment. Early identification of dental problems can help you deal with them before they become serious.
Your dentist can make recommendations about the frequency of getting prophylaxis appointments on the basis of a patient’s history and overall oral health. Some patients may benefit from more frequent appointments, while others may need a thorough teeth cleaning less frequently. While teeth cleanings are often used by others as an excuse to get patients in for a checkup, patients can book checkups, including dental X-rays, without needing a dental prophylaxis.

Natural catastrophes are growing in frequency and severity across the globe, upending lives, businesses and
infrastructure — and they are helping grow a protection gap that is leaving most disaster losses
According to Aon's 2023 Weather, Climate and Catastrophe Insight
report, natural disasters caused global economic
losses of $313 billion in 2022, outstripping economic growth. Insured losses lagged behind, accounting for just $132
billion. That’s a 58 percent gap, or $181 billion in uninsured losses.
This protection gap has continued to grow, along with uncertainty created by conventional risk transfer solutions as
insurers grapple with runaway loss costs. Parametric insurance provides a response by insuring otherwise uninsurable
“grey swans” with difficult-to-quantify economic impact.
The Challenges of Insuring Earthquake Risks
Catastrophic earthquake probability can be calculated, but the ensuing economic impact is difficult to measure.
Unable to attach capital to transfer such risks, businesses often end up simply retaining them — with potentially
This creates a “grey swan risk transfer paradox.” Events like catastrophic earthquakes are exactly why businesses
should transfer risk. However, if there is insufficient data from an underwriting perspective, it can make
sufficient risk transfer unavailable — and therein lies the paradox.
Without an action plan to close this growing protection gap in traditional markets, losses will likely continue to
mount in a world of increasing extremes, as global trends indicate.
Though a catastrophic earthquake can be perceived as a low probability event, over a long time, horizon expectations
of losses should be quite substantial. The last major earthquake in California was the Northridge earthquake in
1994. Over the next 30 years, the United States Geological Survey places the probability of a 6.7 quake (or higher)
at 60 percent in Los Angeles and 72 percent in San Francisco.1 In fact, such hazards exist through the
West Coast, as well as in Alaska, the Midwest (New Madrid Fault), and South Carolina.

Transforming Data Disarray into Insightful Decisions: Embrace the AI Revolution
From Spreadsheet Chaos to AI-Powered Clarity: Is Your Business Ready for the Intelligence Revolution?
In today's digital landscape, spreadsheets remain the backbone of business operations across industries. Yet these familiar tools are increasingly struggling to keep pace with the complexity and scale of modern business challenges. As data volumes grow exponentially, many organizations find themselves trapped in a maze of interconnected spreadsheets, manual processes, and hidden inefficiencies.
This is where artificial intelligence emerges as a transformative force. Leading organizations are discovering that AI doesn't simply automate spreadsheet tasks – it fundamentally reimagines how businesses can extract value from their data. By applying AI to traditional spreadsheet workflows, companies are uncovering insights that were previously invisible and making decisions with unprecedented speed and confidence.
Consider the impact: Financial teams that once spent hours reconciling data can now automate these processes in minutes. Sales forecasts that relied on gut instinct can be enhanced with AI-powered predictive analytics. Supply chain calculations that spanned dozens of spreadsheets can be unified into intelligent systems that adapt in real-time.
The question isn't whether AI will transform spreadsheet-based processes – it's whether your organization will be at the forefront of this revolution or playing catch-up. Early adopters are already gaining competitive advantages through reduced operational costs, accelerated decision-making, and the ability to identify opportunities that others miss.
But successfully navigating this transition requires more than just technology. It demands a strategic approach that aligns AI capabilities with your specific business challenges and objectives.

Best Internal Auditing Pros in Ankeny (IA)
How does it feel when you hire a company to carry out a compliance auditing process for you only to end up getting caught for violating the compliance rules and regulations? This is one thing that happens to some companies who trust auditing companies so much only to end up being let down.
One of the mistakes that some companies make is to think that any company offering auditing services is the best and worth being trusted. As such, they go-ahead to hire just any company for an auditing process without looking at the reputation of the company.

The evolution of indoor navigation technologies
All big companies such as manufacturers, retailers, and commercial property owners have looked for sophisticated indoor positioning technology for recent decades. They were focusing on business and internal logistic optimization, visitors’ routes monitoring and tracking of vehicles. What technologies were used in indoor navigation and which one turned to be the best?
Not for satellite
We got used to navigation apps. Nowadays they are able to identify the most convenient route from A to B between two districts, cities or even continents. All our positioning apps are based on the satellite’s signal. A satellite works like a gigantic eye, which sees each of us from the space. Despite their efficiency in outdoor navigation, GPS, Glonass or Galileo systems did not cope with indoor positioning. Because satellite navigation requires clear line of sight to perform well.
A positioning in cellular networks became the first alternative to GPS. This approach assigns your position to the “cell” of the nearest station. The most significant drawback of such method was low number of cell towers. Even now the average error of indoor positioning via cellular network remains too high – up to 100 meters. Such figures do not work for indoor navigation. The maximum error has to be 3-4 meters.
The new generation of technologies
There are three groups of cutting-edge technologies for indoor navigation right now. The first one involves different wearable inertial devices. Usually, they determine the displacement of an object from its starting point. But if you don’t know the starting point, you can’t identify the final position and the route itself.
The second group of technologies are joint with visual odometry. Such hi-tech solutions provide an opportunity to reconstruct the person’s or object’s trajectory via video camera. Although these systems could ensure high accuracy of positioning in good conditions, they are too dependent on outer distortions like lighting.
Moreover, such solutions require fixed points in space such as walls, furniture, doors or other objects. If you walk in a huge open space, visual systems will fail to determine your path. Additionally, such video solutions always have problems with identification objects of movements. Does a person move or does he move a camera?
The third cluster of indoor navigation solutions includes technology which is based on various signals such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or UWB. How do they work? We all know that the nearer you are to a Wi-Fi-router the better a signal is. So, we have an opportunity to create a special model of signal penetration (and fading) and compare the real signal from a particular smartphone to such computer simulation. Combining the data from 3-4 routers we identify accurate coordinates and trajectory of a moving object.
UWB-systems don’t measure the power of the signal. Such solutions identify the distance between an object and a signal’s origin. However, they are able to work only in open spaces and can’t overcome barriers like walls.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB: what to choose?
The final choice between three types of technologies depends on price and energy consumption. Bluetooth is considered as the most cost-effective technology. Wi-Fi takes second place and UWB is the most expensive one. The latter takes maximum energy consumption as well. For instance, a smartphone could work 1-2 day without charging, while Bluetooth or Wi-Fi scanning. The UWB shortens this working time to 5-6 hours. Sometimes, energy consumption plays a crucial role. Mine is an example. Mineworkers spend 8 hours underground daily, that is why UWB technology does not work for them.
Despite high price and big energy consumption UWB systems ensure the most accurate positioning. Each company has to choose between costs and final accuracy. All three technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB) are presented on the market and are used by different companies.A future of indoor navigation
It is obvious that some technologies will be substituted. The next step of evolution is the replacement of the signal’s power measurement to distance measurement. The new generation of smartphones are able to connect to some Wi-Fi spots simultaneously. The second important innovation is an opportunity to measure the direction of in put and out put signal. The manufacturers of Bluetooth equipment have already announced the upcoming updating.

SUDBURY, Ont. — Throughout the month of February, teams across the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League (NOJHL) are partnering with their local Canadian Mental Health branch to highlight the importance of mental health as part of Talk Today month across Canada.
Teams will be sharing messages about positive mental health on their social media channels with fans and athletes alike.
Follow #TalkToday and #CJHL to engage with your local teams during February.
CMHA branches across Canada began implementing Talk Today in the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) during the 2019-20 season.
Generously funded by the Fifth Line Foundation and NHL Foundation, Talk Today has to date provided suicide-prevention training to over 740 CJHL participants.
Talk Today was created in 2014 and is now offered by more than 50 CMHAs to junior hockey partners nationwide. Talk Today has four key elements:
* Mandatory evidence-based mental health and suicide awareness workshops for athletes that enable them to not only recognize when a teammate or others may be struggling but gives them tools to speak openly about suicide and assist in getting individuals support.
* A designated CMHA Mental Health Coach is connected to each team so that they can help in case someone with the club is struggling or seeking mental health information or services.
* Talk Today game days with related social media activities to raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental health and addictions issues.
* A club Mental Health Champion who works with CMHA personnel to help implement the training and awareness activities.

Inflation Cooled Notably in November, Good News for the Fed
December 13, 2022Federal Reserve Expected to Slow Rate Increases and Offer Hints at Future
December 14, 2022Consumer prices in Britain rose 10.7 percent in November from a year earlier, bringing the rate of inflation down slightly from a 41-year high.
Despite this tentative sign that inflation might have peaked, Britain is still gripped by a deep cost-of-living crisis as wages fail to keep up with inflation and households are squeezed by high energy bills, food costs and mortgage rates. Britons are facing the prospect of a sharp decline in living standards over the next two years, which is prompting a growing wave of labor unrest. Railroad and postal workers are on strike on Wednesday over demands for higher pay, while nurses are set to walk off the job on Thursday.
Prices rose 0.4 percent in November from the previous month, when prices climbed 2 percent in a single month because of higher energy bills. The deceleration will bring some relief to Bank of England policymakers who have sharply raised interest rates to try to tamp down inflation. Inflation also slowed more than expected in the United States, data released on Tuesday showed.
In Britain, core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices, slowed to an annual rate of 6.3 percent, from 6.5 percent in October. A slowdown in transportation prices, particularly for fuel, as well as clothing and recreation services, all contributed to the lower inflation rate, while rising prices in restaurants and for groceries partially offset that.
But this isn’t enough for central bankers to declare victory, as the Bank of England targets a 2 percent inflation rate. On Thursday, policymakers are expected to raise interest rates for a ninth consecutive time, by half a percentage point, to 3.5 percent.

title: New jersey parkway exit 4a wildwood crest route 47 south road sign

The Garden State Parkway is a toll highway that crosses New Jersey from south to north. Beginning in Cape May at the southern tip of the state, it heads north, all the way to the New York state line. Less than five miles north of Cape May is exit 4A. Drivers can exit here to turn onto Route 47, which will bring them to Wildwood and Wildwood Crest.
Wildwood and Wildwood Crest are two towns on Five Mile Beach, a barrier island on the Atlantic coast of Cape May County, New Jersey. These towns are a part of a region known as The Wildwoods, one of the Jersey Shore’s summer vacation destinations. Thousands of tourists visit the region’s many beaches and resorts every year.
Add a little bit of Jersey Shore flavor to your home with our replica Garden State Parkway Exit 4A, sign.

title: The new wild book

text:
According to the new ecologists, we should applaud the dynamism of alien species and the novel ecosystems they create.
The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature's Salvation Paperback – April 5, 2016 - by Fred Pearce (Author)
Named one of the best books of 2015 by The Economist
A provocative exploration of the “new ecology” and why most of what we think we know about alien species is wrong
For a long time, veteran environmental journalist Fred Pearce thought in stark terms about invasive species: they were the evil interlopers spoiling pristine “natural” ecosystems. Most conservationists and environmentalists share this view. But what if the traditional view of ecology is wrong—what if true environmentalists should be applauding the invaders?
In The New Wild, Pearce goes on a journey across six continents to rediscover what conservation in the twenty-first century should be about. Pearce explores ecosystems from remote Pacific islands to the United Kingdom, from San Francisco Bay to the Great Lakes, as he digs into questionable estimates of the cost of invader species and reveals the outdated intellectual sources of our ideas about the balance of nature. Pearce acknowledges that there are horror stories about alien species disrupting ecosystems, but most of the time, the tens of thousands of introduced species usually swiftly die out or settle down and become model eco-citizens. The case for keeping out alien species, he finds, looks increasingly flawed.
As Pearce argues, mainstream environmentalists are right that we need a rewilding of the earth, but they are wrong if they imagine that we can achieve that by reengineering ecosystems. Humans have changed the planet too much, and nature never goes backward. But a growing group of scientists is taking a fresh look at how species interact in the wild. According to these new ecologists, we should applaud the dynamism of alien species and the novel ecosystems they create.
In an era of climate change and widespread ecological damage, it is absolutely crucial that we find ways to help nature regenerate. Embracing the new ecology, Pearce shows us, is our best chance. To be an environmentalist in the twenty-first century means celebrating nature’s wildness and capacity for change.

title: What social media algorithms mean for your business

text:
It is important as a business to understand the social media landscape and ensure you have the tools and knowledge to build a successful campaign. A focus on relationships, audience loyalty and consistent engagement from followers will be more important than ever in 2020.
. Once you have that strategy in place, it’s time to implement it, understand the algorithms, track insights and achieve a return on investment (ROI).
Understanding the Facebook and Instagram algorithms
The Facebook and Instagram algorithms change constantly, and it’s best to keep an eye on the
Facebook Newsroom to stay up-to-date on anything that could affect your brand.
A major change that is still having an impact on Facebook today happened
at the start of 2018. Facebook changed its algorithm to prioritise “meaningful interactions”. Basically, if a user is likely to have a more positive reaction to a post, then the algorithm will push it higher up the news feed. Content posted by friends and family is also boosted over public content.
Mark Zuckerberg said the network made this change because "posts from businesses, brands and media... [are] crowding out the personal moments that lead us to connect more with each other".
The Instagram algorithm is similar. It dictates the order of the posts that show up on a user’s news feed based on relationship with the user, interest the user has expressed and how recent the post is.
According to Zuckerberg, “pages making posts that people generally don’t react to or comment on could see the biggest decreases in distribution”.
While in the past, paying to boost your posts would have been an easy fix, this no longer helps. The algorithm change also impacts paid content.
So how do you make the algorithms work for your business?
There are a few things that you can do to keep your content present in people’s user feeds.
Start by increasing your brand’s value
Demonstrate how useful your brand can be through storytelling. Lululemon Athletica did this well when it launched its #justmymat campaign. The campaign started with
a quick video on Instagram that showed a woman doing yoga in different places around Vancouver, with the caption “Every mat has a story to tell.” Lululemon then encouraged fans to use the hashtag #justmymat to share their own experiences. Not only did this allow the brand to align itself with a positive story – it celebrates fitness no matter who you are – but it could also show its products in action without being overly promotional.
It’s important to have a clear idea on what your audience is interested in so that you can create content that will resonate like this. Keep an eye on your analytics to find out what content drives click throughs and engagement.
Post like a person
With the algorithm in mind, remember to post like a person and also engage with posts from relevant users and brands. The algorithm relies on signals such as comments, likes and shares to confirm whether or not a post is popular, because these things drive meaningful interactions. So treat each post as an opportunity to start (and maintain) a conversation.
Having a Facebook Group in conjunction with your business page can be a great way to foster relationships and build a community. However, ensure you have someone monitoring the page and engaging in a timely manner – Groups that aren’t updated on a frequent basis can quickly stagnate.
You can tailor your content to promote positive engagement by asking a question at the end of your post and encouraging comments from your audience. Including a call-to-action will prompt followers to respond and allow you to connect with your audience at the same time.
However, according to
Social Media Examiner, be careful not to use the words “like” “comment” “vote” and “tag” in your posts as the algorithm considers these “engagement bait”. Facebook now also has a filter
that identifies phrases common in clickbait titles, such as “this”. If you include these words, the algorithm will assume your content is poor in quality, so craft your headlines accordingly.
Make sure you’re experimenting with all of the formats available to you. This will keep your content new and exciting, and ensure your audience stays more engaged. Videos are a great way to show audiences behind the scenes and success stories that make your brand more authentic and personable, while Stories let you to be a little bit more irreverent.
Use hashtags (on Instagram)
Hashtags are essential because they allow your content to be searchable. A post is far more likely to appear on a new user’s feed if it includes a hashtag that they are interested in. You can use a tool like
Seekmetrics to discover the most used hashtags in a particular category.
Follow the data
Make sure you’re regularly looking at your Facebook and Instagram insights to find out when your audience is active and ensure you’re posting during those times.
ROI and reaching your goal
It’s important to track insights and referral traffic on your website so you understand which posts are performing well and why, as this will shape future campaigns.
It’s also helpful to survey customers or clients and ask them which channel they saw you on, because this might show you that some social channels are working better than others.
Altimeter Group 88.3% of all corporate marketing strategists have social media ROI as their most important focus in 2019 and 2020.
Return can be measured in many ways depending on the goals you set, such as developing brand awareness, database collection or sales.
Once you know your overall marketing goals, ensure you’re setting actionable and campaign-specific social media goals. Measure the success of your goals though monitoring tools such as Google Analytics, where you can track how many users have converted into customers from your posts.
While the concept of algorithms can be daunting, understanding the importance of meaningful interactions is key. Businesses that tell their stories, are interested in their audiences and engage are the ones that will succeed in 2020.

Watch Jack and Alec messing around in their soft-toy pear!
Rat Care explains how our rats are looked after and Rat Habits describes more about their behaviour. There are also plenty of Photos and Videos to view. The site is named after our first rats, Ronnie and Derek, who appear in the banner at the top.
On 13 April 2021, we acquired two new rats, who were born in February 2021. The chocolate-coloured one is called Jack, who’s a ‘Berkshire’ rat, while Alec is a ‘Roan’ rat and has grey and white markings.
You can read more about them here. Further content will be posted about Jack and Alec in the coming weeks and months!
This website has also been renamed to ‘R. D. Rats & Co.’ and much of the content about looking after rats has been amended and updated. The ‘R. D.’ in the name is a reference to Ronnie and Derek.
Gorgeous little Derek developed some breathing problems in early April 2021. On 8th April, he was prescribed medication by the vet as it was thought he had a respiratory infection. On the morning of the 9th, he rapidly went downhill and passed away while in our company.
While it’s very sad that he’s gone, it’s preferable he was able to pass naturally and in the company of his humans, without having to be put down by the vet. Thankfully he was also calm and relaxed when he left.
Derek was a well-loved, charismatic rat and there are plenty of memories of him which have been shared on this site. There are quite a few photos and videos of him from the last few months and these will be added to this site at some point.
I’m pleased to say Derek’s been coping well since Ronnie passed away on Wednesday. He’s been getting extra treats and cuddles from his humans and he seems to be his usual self.
Click thumbnails to enlarge. More photos on the Photos page.
Sadly, lovely little Ronnie was put to sleep yesterday. He’d been unwell with a respiratory infection for a few days and the vet suspected there may have been other complications, such as cancer, as he wasn’t responding well to any treatment. Letting him go was a very sad, difficult decision, but the right one to ensure he didn’t suffer.
He was a wonderful, funny rat who gave a lot of love and joy to his humans. There are plenty of memories, photos and videos of Ronnie and he’ll never be forgotten.
Derek will no doubt miss Ronnie, but he’s a strong little rat who enjoys human company and he’ll be fine.

Aphid Season Around The Corner? Soybean aphid infestations in recent
years indicate that growers across much of the bean belt should be
prepared for managing the menacing pests. A complete integrated pest
management program should be considered if infestations attack your
This aphid has been confirmed by USDA in Delaware, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin and in the Canadian
provinces of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba.
This newsletter will hopefully help you better understand the threat
aphids present, how to spot them on time and how to control them
before the damage is done.

Will Soybean Aphids Continue Their Threat in 2009? By Kevin
Steffey, University of Illinois Extension Entomologist
Soybean aphids broke their every-other-year cycle of outbreaks in the
Midwest in 2008, after most widespread outbreaks have occurred in
odd-numbered years since the insect attacked U.S. fields in 2000.
Regional and localized outbreaks also occurred in even-number years.
In 2008, however, the outbreak was widespread and economically
significant, especially in the northern Midwest (northern Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota).
Although the outbreak was less severe in Illinois, populations of
soybean aphids reached economically threatening numbers in many
northern counties late in the season (late August and early
September), says the University of Illinois (IPM) program.
The situation in 2008 leaves many wondering what will happen in 2009.
We have often relied on the numbers of winged soybean aphids captured
in suction traps in the fall to make broad predictions about the
potential for outbreaks during the following year. Roughly speaking,
large numbers of aphids captured in the fall of one year have
suggested a good potential for an outbreak the following year.
Conversely, small numbers of aphids captured in the fall of one year
suggested little potential for a widespread outbreak the following
year. Captures of winged soybean aphids in a network of 42 suction
traps in the Midwest can be viewed at the North Central IPM Center
"Regional Soybean Aphid Suction Trap Network."

title: Marketing monday getting the most from an image box

text:
Coming up this Saturday is a new Weekend Wisdom podcast with Michele Celentano. The topic is near and dear to all of our hearts, "The Art of Selling Prints". It's such an important topic because so many of you have convinced yourself that printed images are not what your clients want. While it's true we live in an instant fulfillment digital world; the reality is, prints are far from obsolete. However, there's a learning curve for your clients and as an artist you've got to be the one to raise the bar on their educational process. During the podcast, Michele talked about a great idea she learned from Sue Bryce regarding a way to use an image storage box, but I want to take it a step further with other ideas. I'll let you listen to Michele's podcast this Saturday, September 5, as she talks about the outstanding way Sue is using image box presentations. For me, the image box concept has always been an ideal addition to the album, but as a marketing tool.
Image boxes come in all shapes and sizes, and you've got the creativity to develop promotional programs that are just as diverse. The key is to be different and make your promotional offers unique from what your competitors are doing.
As my buddy Terry Clark said several years ago, "Look at what everybody else is going and then do something different!" |
Our Partners"Why?"Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound bite. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. We're over 130 artists featured since the project started.

title: Ihc fixes sharif s appeal for hearing in al azizia reference

text:
ISLAMABAD – The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has constituted a two-member bench to take up an appeal filed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif against his conviction in the Al-Azizia reference.
Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani will hear the appeal on Sept 18, amid rumors of a possible deal between the former ruling family and the sitting regime.
The two-member bench would be hearing the appeal for the first time after the controversy regarding the leaked video of judge Arshad Malik came to the fore in July.
The former premier was sentenced to 7-years behind bars in the Al-Azizia reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau, however, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz demanded his release after the video, showing judge Arshad Malik talking about the reference with a party loyalist emerged.
The video was made public by Maryam Nawaz, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice-President after which judge Arshad Malik was removed from his position.
Arshad Malik had convicted Mr Sharif in the Al-Azizia case but acquitted him in the Flagship reference.
Judge Malik admitted that a video existed in which he was shown in a compromising position and alleged that PML-N supporters Nasir Butt, Nasir Janjua, Mahar Ghulam Jilani and Khurram Yousaf had purchased this video from accused Mian Tariq Mehmood and were pressuring him into acquitting Nawaz Sharif.
The accused Tariq Mahmood was sent to jail on judicial remand but the three suspects — Nasir Janjua, Maher Ghulam Jilani and Khurram Yousaf — were remanded in FIA custody for interrogation, however, were released last week.
The Supreme Court disqualified Nawaz Sharif from holding any public office in July 2017 and ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to file three references against the Sharif family.
Accountability judge Mohammad Bashir convicted Mr Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz in the Avenfield properties reference on July 6 last year. The IHC, however, suspended the sentence.

Written By Kevin Kerfoot / Reviewed By Ray Spotts
Scientists report a new method for estimating the biological sex of human remains based on reading protein sequences rather than DNA. The protein-based technique provides superior results to DNA analysis in studying 55 sets of human remains between 300 and 2,300 years old. The method – discussed in Scientific Reports - targets amelogenin, a protein found in tooth enamel,
The three methods for determination consisted of the new proteomic method; DNA analysis; and osteology, or analysis of the size, shape and composition of the bones themselves. All methods were applied to remains from two ancestral Ohlone villages near Sunol, California.
The researchers were able to determine the sex of all of the remains using the new protein method and all but five using DNA methods. Results from osteology and proteomics agreed in almost all cases, although examining bones themselves was only effective for about half the skeletons. The protein method allowed them to estimate sex for children, which is not possible from osteology.
“While gender and biological sex are not the same thing, they are linked, so the ability to estimate sex gives archaeologists important insight when attempting to understand the cultural aspects of gender, which are not as readily preserved,” says Jelmer Eerkens, professor of anthropology.
“Being able to determine the biological sex of human remains provides a greater window into the persona of each individual. Anthropologists are interested in determining biological sex because sex interacts with health and can have a large impact on how people form an identity and are treated within a society.”
Teeth Serve As Archive of Life
Teeth constitute a permanent and faithful biological archive of the entirety of the individual’s life - from tooth formation to death - a team of researchers report. The findings – published in Scientific Reports - provide new evidence of the impact that events such as reproduction and imprisonment have on an organism.
The study tested the hypothesis that physiologically impactful events such as reproduction and menopause in females and incarceration and systemic illnesses in both males and females leave permanent changes in the microstructure of cementum and that such changes can be accurately timed. The research focused on cementum, the dental tissue that covers the tooth’s root. It begins to form annual layers similar to a tree’s “rings” from the time the tooth surfaces in the mouth.
“Our results make clear that the skeleton is not a static organ, but rather a dynamic one,” says lead author Paola Cerrito, a doctoral candidate in NYU’s Department of Anthropology and College of Dentistry. “The cementum’s microstructure, visible only through microscopic examination, can reveal the underlying organization of the fibers and particles that make up the material of this part of the tooth.”
“A tooth is not a static and dead portion of the skeleton. It continuously adjusts and responds to physiological processes. Just like tree rings, we can look at tooth rings - continuously growing layers of tissue on the dental root surface. These rings are a faithful archive of an individual's physiological experiences and stressors from pregnancies and illnesses to incarcerations and menopause that all leave a distinctive permanent mark.”
“The discovery that intimate details of a person’s life are recorded in this little-studied tissue promises to bring cementum straight into the center of many current debates concerning the evolution of human life history,” added Timothy Bromage, a professor at NYU’s College of Dentistry.

Derw is a programming language aimed at making complex apps in a simple way. It's built on top of TypeScript and Node, so it's easy to have interop with TypeScript.
With Derw, you can write both frontend and backend code. The easiest way to write frontend code is with Derw's html package, which is built upon a model-view-update structure.
What you'll find in this book
If you have suggested changes, feel free to open issues or pull requests here
What does Derw look like?
sayHi: string -> string
sayHi name =
You can also check out the examples repo for more fleshed out examples.
What can you use Derw for?
Derw is perfect for interactive web apps,. You can also use it to write command line tooling, and servers.
Derw prioritizes practicality above all else. The language is designed to empower developers to get things done in a straightforward and intuitive manner. Derw integrates seamlessly with other programming languages to enhance the development experience. Its syntax is particularly well-suited for those familiar with functional programming.
Derw is a language that is open to new ideas and approaches. If there is something that has not been done in Derw before, the community should work towards implementing it, and if it proves to be a valuable addition, it should be incorporated into the language.
While Derw is beginner-friendly, it is also designed to cater to the needs of experienced developers. It strikes a balance between simplicity and functionality, ensuring that developers of all levels can write efficient, high-quality code with ease.
Writing code that is provably correct allows developers to spend less time fixing bugs in production, leading them to deliver better products. Derw is not the answer to everyone's wishes; there are other languages out there that provide features others want, and that's okay! Derw is happy to sit in this space. You, as a Derw developer, should expect a well tested language that moves at a quick speed, helping you to write better code - and enjoy yourself while doing so.
What is Derw inspired by?
Derw as a language is inspired by a number of languages: Elm, Haskell, Python, Idris, TypeScript and Go.
Syntax-wise, Derw is most similar to Elm and Haskell, in that it is an ML-family language. The majority comes from Elm, so you'll see things like :
being used for type definitions, let..in
for definitions within a function or const, and type aliases rather than record types. Derw additionally adds do..return
notation, inspired by both Haskell and Idris.
Package-wise, Derw follows the Elm convention of packages always being by a particular name or organization. Names for packages should not be cute, but instead follow the convention of being named based on what they do. html should be called html, for example. One break with Elm is that due to the interop-story of Derw, it is possible to have a package.json listing dependencies that your Derw package may use.
How is Derw developed?
Derw started as a collection of libraries for writing TypeScript in a more functional fashion, called Hiraeth. These libraries were mostly for my own use, but as I used them I realized that I needed a language that wasn't TypeScript to write code in my ideally preferred fashion. The best experience I have had to this point for writing web apps has been with Elm, and having been a contributor to Elm, I figured that I could achieve something similar with some differences.
Derw is currently developed in my spare time, but that doesn't mean progress is slow. In fact since Derw started, there's been over 1000 commits to Derw-related projects and repos. The pace really picked up once Derw reached a point where I could start writing things in it and have them work - i.e, once the compiler was generating code and running without bugs. I'm a big believer in designing tooling and APIs through real-world usage. Derw has been used for several real-world apps now, some quite complicated, which helped nail down the remaining bugs.
Every time a new bug is found, I try to add a test to the comprehensive test suite that ensures that the bug won't be encountered again. This allows me to make big refactors quickly.
To keep track of features and bugs, I use a private Pivotal Tracker instance that allows me to write down my thoughts as they come from my head, and prioritize them on a monthly basis. Each month I write up a summary of all the changes on the Derw blog.

Can Stress Cause Scalp Inflammation?
While there isn't a clear link between stress and scalp inflammation, it's possible that stress could be a trigger for the condition. Scalp inflammation can be caused by a number of different factors, including allergies, fungal infections, and certain autoimmune disorders. If you're concerned that stress may be causing your scalp inflammation, it's important to see a doctor or dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
It's no secret that stress can have a major impact on our health and well-being. But did you know that it can also affect your scalp? Studies have shown that stress can lead to scalp inflammation, which can in turn contribute to hair loss.
So what exactly is inflammation? It's a response by the body to protect itself from further damage. When we experience physical or emotional stress, our body goes into "fight or flight" mode. This triggers the release of hormones like cortisol, which can cause changes in the body that lead to inflammation.
While some inflammation is necessary and can be helpful, too much of it can be damaging. When it comes to the scalp, inflammation can cause the hair follicles to become damaged and weaker, leading to hair loss.
If you're struggling with stress-related hair loss, there are a few things you can do to help. First, try to reduce the amount of stress in your life. This may mean making changes to your lifestyle or taking steps to manage your stress more effectively. You can also talk to your doctor about treatment options, such as medications that can help reduce inflammation.
While stress may be a contributing factor to hair loss, it's important to remember that there are many other possible causes. If you're concerned about hair loss, it's best to talk to your doctor to rule out other potential causes and find the best treatment plan for you. We’ve all heard that stress can cause physical symptoms like headaches and stomachaches, but did you know that it can also affect your skin? Stress can worsen conditions like acne and eczema, and it can even lead to new skin problems. One of the lesser-known effects of stress is scalp inflammation, which can be both painful and unsightly.
Scalp inflammation is a condition in which the hair follicles become irritated and inflamed. This can happen for a number of reasons, but one of the most common is stress. When you’re stressed, your body produces cortisol and other hormones that can trigger inflammation. This inflammation can then lead to scalp problems like dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis.
While there’s no cure for stress-induced scalp inflammation, there are a few things you can do to manage it. Regular shampooing and conditioning can help to reduce the inflammation, and using a mild shampoo or one designed for sensitive skin can be beneficial. You should also avoid using hot water when washing your hair, as this can further irritate the skin. If your scalp inflammation is severe, you may need to see a doctor or dermatologist for treatment.
Managing your stress levels is also important for treating and preventing scalp inflammation. If you’re prone to stress-induced scalp problems, make sure to take time for yourself every day to relax and de-stress. Taking up yoga or meditation can also help to reduce your stress levels and keep your scalp healthy.
