"Talk is cheap - Show me the Code" - FOSS.in/2008. I derived my headline from FOSS.in.
It has been a very long time I wrote some thing. What was I doing all these days.....?
I was requesting every one to show me their code :)
Here are my thoughts on Open Source -
- What is Open Source?
Show your source
- What is Source?
Effort !!! after putting enormous energy, time and patience one will come up with few lines of code that addresses or solves a problem.
- Are Efforts paid?
Yes, some times Efforts are paid or brought by some one. Some times they are Free.
- When I combine the above ...
Its all about Sharing My Effort...!
- Why do I need to Share some thing that I learnt or developed?
To make it evolve.
While talking to a professor at a college, I told "Students have learnt selfishness for 25 years and on a single day we cannot teach them Sharing"
Our life starts at home, when parent tell their kid not to share there homework to get ranked high at school, Teachers never advice to work collaboratively on a problem as we are ranked based on our answers, College doesn't teach us working together in examination halls. In our entire life we are told to deal with problems on an individual basis, we are asked to hide our efforts to get better name in society. After spending our life on these principles for 25 years, one day HR at an organization asks us "ARE YOU A TEAM PLAYER ?" --
Common on, how can I be a team player, I always solved problems on my own, never learnt using efforts of others, or sharing my own efforts. How can you expect me to be a team player?
Open Source,
- is not giving your lines of code to some one when you don't need any more,
- is not publishing 1000s of lines on a single day and asking others to work on the same
- is not about disclosing your source for free
- is not about teaching or building expertize on your work
It is all about solving problems collaboratively. If you forget collaborating, then the opened source of yours is of no use.
Openess enables Innovation, Innovation solves problems and Gives credit for what you are called "an engineer..."
Enjoy Open Source Solutions at http://beagleboard.org/ ...!

Port William stay
The Port William at Trebarwith Strand has an outstanding location with uninterrupted views out to sea, situated on a cliff looking over the beach and along the South West coast path this really is a dream location.
The pub it's self has old world charm with contemporary elements and has been designed around the view. The food served is on the prices side and mediocre at best, however you don't come here for the food. The bedrooms are some what shabby and desperately in need of redecoration, however it is well appointed, clean and can be forgiven for it he vista from the bedroom window. The staff at the Port William are simply fantastic, warm, friendly and a credit for the St Austell brewery.

TransformEd serves as the strategic advisor to the CORE District on the design and rollout of the social-emotional component of their School Quality Improvement System (SQIS). Together, CORE and TransformEd have validated a common set of social-emotional measures with nearly half a million students. We are committed to making these measures available as a free, open-source tool for other schools and districts to use.
Research shows that success in school and in life depends on more than academic ability alone. Rigorous longitudinal research has demonstrated that specific social-emotional competencies have a significant impact on students' academic performance and persistence in school, as well as their health, wealth, and well-being outcomes throughout life. Based on this compelling research, six CORE Districts have chosen to incorporate measures of students' social-emotional skills alongside academic and school culture/climate indicators into a more holistic and more formative system of accountability and continuous improvement called the School Quality Improvement System (SQIS). LEAs participating in this effort include Fresno, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, and Santa Ana Unified School Districts, which collectively serve more than one million students.
The School Quality Improvement Index (SQII)
When fully implemented during the 2015-16 school year, the School Quality Improvement Index (the measure at the heart of the SQIS) will assess school performance as a balanced function of students' academic outcomes (60%) as well as students' social-emotional competencies and school climate/culture (40%).
The social-emotional and climate/culture component of the index includes both administrative measures that serve as rough proxies for students' social-emotional skills (e.g. chronic absenteeism and suspensions), as well as explicit measures of four social-emotional prioritized by the CORE Districts: growth mindset, self-efficacy, self-management and social awareness.
A Unique Approach
CORE is currently the only group in the United States to include measures of students' social-emotional competencies in a school accountability system, which sets the precedent for a new, more holistic definition of student and school success. Additionally, CORE is fundamentally changing the accountability paradigm: rather than penalizing schools that perform poorly on the new accountability measure, CORE will pair low-performing schools with higher-performing schools that can provide support and mentorship. This is a significant shift away from a compliance-based, high-stakes accountability system to one driven by the collective responsibility to support schools in helping all students succeed.
Findings From the CORE Field Test
To support the CORE Districts' in using a more holistic approach to assessment, TransformEd curated a set of best-in-class survey-based measures of social-emotional skills developed by leading researchers in the field. In the spring of 2015, CORE and TransformEd field tested these social-emotional measures with nearly half a million students across California. The resulting analyses conducted by our research partners at Harvard Center for Education Policy Research show strong evidence of validity and reliability. For example, students' social-emotional skills were significantly correlated with the academic and behavioral outcomes that schools typically focus on.
CORE and TransformEd are committed to making the social-emotional measures and corresponding benchmark data available as a free, open-source tool for other schools and districts to use. Please reach out to us or check back in March 2016 for more information.

PSO management, musicians agree on virtually nothingOctober 20, 2016 12:04 AM
The management and musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra are at odds over just about everything these days.
Most of those disagreements have to do with the future: how much money the musicians, who have been on strike since Sept. 30, will make; how their retirements will be funded; and what the organization's five-year financial forecast should look like.
But, curiously enough, the two sides also differ over basic matters that have already taken place, such as whether the musicians were notified about the latest concert cancellations before management announced them to the public, and whether the musicians permitted management to give them a presentation about the organization's finances.
Those disagreements are not mere byproducts of the he-said, she-said nature of contract disputes. Rather, the rhetoric reflects a nastier style of orchestra labor dispute that has taken hold in the last decade or so, turning work stoppages into "a weapon of mass destruction," said Chicago-based arts consultant Drew McManus.
What distinguishes Pittsburgh's nasty battle is how quickly it got to this stage.
"It seemed to be that way out of the gate," said Mr. McManus, who has written about the PSO for the blog Adaptistration. "That's a really good sign of how things have been unfolding in the bargaining process up to the work stoppage."
The latest example came Monday, when the organization announced it was canceling orchestra concerts through Nov. 18. The musicians posted on their Facebook page that they had learned about the cancellations through social media.
"BREAKING NEWS: Due to a refusal to negotiate, PSI management has cancelled all concerts through November 18th," the musicians posted, referring to Pittsburgh Symphony Inc. "We just found out from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Facebook page."
Melia Tourangeau, president and CEO of the orchestra, emailed the orchestra committee at 2:21 p.m. about the latest cancellations, which management said had to be decided in advance to alert patrons or guest artists who would be left in limbo. The PSO posted the announcement on its own Facebook page at 2:35 p.m., before the orchestra committee had a chance to communicate the news to its members, said orchestra committee chairman and bassist Micah Howard.
The two sides, especially the musicians, have been waging these battles over social media. Other than the email from Ms. Tourangeau, they have communicated only through their attorneys and through federal mediators.
Apparently, some things have been lost in translation, and the two sides pointed fingers over why no negotiations have been scheduled.
In a statement announcing the concert cancellations, symphony COO Christian Schornich said the musicians had not reached out to management through "official channels" to schedule another bargaining session.
But the musicians, who are not receiving any pay or benefits from the PSO, have expressed an interest through the mediators to get back to the table, Mr. Howard said.
"From the very first day, we have made requests through the mediators to return to the negotiating table, which is an official request, and those requests have been denied," he said. "Why would we not want to be at the table negotiating?"
While management made its last, best and final offer last month, Ms. Tourangeau said the negotiating team is open to other concessionary contract proposals that would save the organization the same amount of money as the last proposal.
"In the mediation process we threw out all kinds of creative ways to find a solution that could address our needs," she said, referring to contract terms that would link salaries with certain fundraising efforts.
Another point of contention has to do with how willing the musicians have been to learn about the financial health of the organization. Management invited the orchestra committee to listen to a presentation about the organization's finances in June, when both sides made their first proposals. Management's initial offer proposed cutting musicians' pay by 25 percent and reducing the size of the 99-piece orchestra by nine players.
"We did have a very emotional response to these drastic cuts that they put on the table, and we had no interest in discussing the financials," Mr. Howard said.
"That has changed drastically since that point," he said, referring to efforts by the musicians to examine the organization's audits. The musicians also asked management to provide figures from the last fiscal year. Management denied that request, citing the fact that those numbers have not yet been audited.
Because the musicians didn't want to listen to a presentation about the organization's finances, management delivered a written statement about that information to them, Mr. Schornich said.
There may be some hope for an escape from this back-and-forth rhetoric. The two sides have agreed to hire a yet-to-be-named independent analyst or firm to look at the organization's finances, Ms. Tourangeau said.
Mr. McManus said such independent observers have helped organizations resolve labor disputes, allowing members of both sides to "save face."
A newer phenomenon, he said, is the rise of audience associations that have stepped in to offer financial analyses and push political leaders to weigh in on particularly bruising labor disputes. No such association exists in Pittsburgh.

Practice areas & skills: General Practice
General practice attorneys perform a wide range of legal services but usually do not focus on a single area of the law. You will usually find a general practice lawyer in a small town, but big cities have them as well. You might consider a general practice lawyer as a "Jack of all Trades" who can give advice in many legal areas, represent you in common lawsuits and negotiations, and prepare everyday agreements and contracts. If you have a legal issue and aren't sure what type of lawyer should handle it, a general practice attorney is a good starting point. A general practice lawyer will refer you to an attorney who handles a specific practice area if necessary.

Facebook is usually a friendly place, that is until you realize you have been defriended. According to a study from University of Colorado that was published on CNET and in the New York Times the top reasons people get defriended include 1.) Updating their status with frequent and "unimportant" content and material 2.) Discussing politics and religion 3.) Posting inappropriate, crude or racists comments. Although these reasons seem relatively legit I was shocked that defriending exes didn't top the lists of reasons to break ties with someone online.
I myself was a victim about two years ago when a guy I used to date defriended me as my newsfeed filled up with photos and updates that included the new man in my life. I had no idea it even happened until I got a friend request from him this year and realized that I was actually being refriended. Luckily now, for those of us that want to keep track of our online frenemies, Unfriend Finder has launched--a Facebook App that let's you monitor the ups and downs of your online relationships.
Although this app is kind of a riot, I would go as far to say that defriending probably has more effect on the person initiating it than the one recieving it. Isn't the act really an exercise in passive aggressive behavior, that allows scorned lovers to salvage a sense of control by "eXing" you out of their lives? Afterall, what could be more empowering than giving your ex a virtual F you--especially if they won't notice it for a year and a half?

Leather is a popular material for clothing, shoes and other garments because of its durability and flexibility. It is created by tanning animal hides, generally from the skin of cows. Leather can be made so durable that medieval knights used to use it for armour. The cuir bouilli technique was used to make not only leather armour, but a variety of other useful rigid objects such as cups and bags. Whether you would like to shape your leather into an object or just stiffen it a little, you can use this simple technique.

Show MoreHide
- 1
Heat a pot of water to 180 degrees.
- 2
Place your piece of leather in the pot for approximately 60 seconds.
- 3
Watch for the leather to darken, go limp and curl up. Once it does this you will know it has hardened. If you would like to stretch and shape the leather or just want it moderately stiffened, remove it at this point. You will have one or two minutes after removing to stretch it before it loses its stretchiness, though it will still remain flexible.
- 4
Leave the leather in the water for longer if you would like it harder. It will continue to get harder, darker and shrink until it resembles wood. The trade-off of such hard leather is its brittleness.
- 5
Let the leather air dry on a rack. It will continue to stiffen.

Garvo Gujarati: True, It's easy to play with people's sentiments when it comes to religion. However low enforcement's are required too when people don't listen.san-hugo: Supreme court banned loudspeakers from 10 PM to 8 am. Religious institution does not care and people support these institutions.
Gundagardi hai bus....Garvo Gujarati: There must be a "no-noise" time. Anything that is making noise beyond certain decibel should be banned during the periods of say 11.00 PM till 5.00 AM. That would cover fireworks as well.
In febpreet: Not just 'restricted', but an outright ban. The sound shouldn't come outside of their premises. Plain and simple.Confused_Canadian: As long as people makes religion their friend and logic their enemy this thing will continue.
Not just Mosque all religion has to be restricted in using loud speakers. After certain time there should not be sound pollution regardless of religion.

A popular Canadian immigration stream in Nova Scotia will reopen for the first time since 2015 in the coming weeks, the province has announced.Canada_Ka_Bhikari: So you think , Reality and Facts = Pessimistic ?
Are you coming to Canada because you could not find anything in India ? If not, you might as well as have chosen to stay home, instead of coming here and wasting the prime of your life.
You think I am the bad guy ? I am saving you and your family Smartwork: Hi All
Can anybody please explain as to why the person with the ID Canada_ka_Bikhari so pessimistic in all of his answers.
If he could not find anything in Canada, he could as well chosen to go to his home rather than staying there
Thanks and Regards
rajcanada: If you feel that way, spamming the board with the same thing on each thread in CD is not going to help.
There are other ways like write to your MP, write to CIC, organize protests with likeminded people, start an NGO to save all immigrants from working in McDonalds. The cause is so close to your heart but you want to do nothing about it but only spam CD?Canada_Ka_Bhikari: Does the immigration department advertise the truth that we need immigrant doctors, engineers, CA's, Architects, MBA's to do low level low class unskilled physical labour jobs in Canada ?
Or don't they advertise the fake Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) , 67 points, Express Entry - Bull crap ?
Don't they advertise the Bull Shit - National Occupational Classification (NOC) crap ?rajcanada: I am not asking you to sing praises of Canada but coming to Canadiandesi just to bash Canada on every post does not serve any purpose. Today, in the age of internet, people are much better informed what they are getting into before they land in Canada, so it is their choice. They are considering immigration after doing their due diligence and if they are not researching, it is their fault.
Canada_Ka_Bhikari: I think some other South India movie which was being played in Cineplex, some Sri Lankans or some Tamils released some obnoxious poisonous gas. The theatre had to be evacuated.
Maybe it was politically motivated - some LTTE stuff. Or some rival Indian theatre doing that to get business for themselves.
So Cineplex must be scared now and don't want to release any South Indian - Tamil, Telugu type of movies in GTA anymore .
:cuss:jack_brigh: Is baahubali 2(Hindi) releasing at cineplex in Brampton or Mississauga?I searched for it on their website and it does not show up. It is strange they bought movies like Noor which is running into its second week at silver city Brampton, with almost empty halls and they are not bringing such a mega movie.
Full House: Please try and obtain a G2 Licence here in Ontario within the first 90 days. Sooner the better. There are a few driving schools that will provide you with a test vehicle, if you have no access to one.
** New Ontario residents
If you are a new resident of Ontario and have a valid driver's licence from another province or country, you can use that licence for 60 days in Ontario.kennylowenherz: i am having a student visa.Full House: Ontario will permit you to drive in Ontario for a period of 90 Days from the date of entry, when you have an IDP and a Valid Driver's Licence with a Picture ID from the Country of Issue where you got your IDP. Also you must read the rules permitting the same in other Provinces on their own website, as kennylowenherz: Till how much time international driving license is valid to drive in Canada, and is issued from India.
sudesingh: I suggest to move it out to later in the summer when the weather warms up. Not to say the weather won't warm up by then (at least I hope it does). It's still a bit too early (weather-wise). Additionally a lot of people start their gardening that weekend and kids are still in school busy preparing for their exam.
My 2 cents..rajcanada: You yourself do not find it worthy to support your cause :clap:Canada_Ka_Bhikari: This thread is about the great CD picnic.
Not some foolish agenda of yours. Garvo Punjabi can you delete his post, he is taking the thread of a tangent :clap:rajcanada: Canada_Ka_Bhikari, why don't you organize a protest march outside McDonald's Canada Head Office or outside CIC?

Higher education in India is going through a critical phase. The country has witnessed tremendous growth in the sector since independence, and now has 750 universities, 35,000 colleges and 30 million of students. But none of its best institutions have managed to secure a place in the list of the world's top 200 universities.
This is particularly worrying as some of India's leading institutions are now facing drastic cuts in employment and resources.

Hepatitis A Outbreak May Be Linked to Bakery
A bakery has closed temporarily following an outbreak of Hepatitis A in North Lanarkshire.
Flaws in the UK Government's new social security system could cause "serious detriment'' to claimants if they are not addressed, a report from Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) has concluded.
The organisation has researched the impact of Universal Credit, which will replace many existing benefits with one payment, and found problems including delays in payment, unfair sanctions and glitches in technology.
The new scheme is being rolled out gradually and CAS's report contains a series of recommendations for government on how to fix it before it is introduced for all claimants.
They include introducing a "single, additional, non-refundable assessment payment'' for new claimants to avoid hardship being caused by having no income for six weeks, a choice of frequency of payments to help claimants budget and the option to have the housing element of their payment going straight to their landlord.
CAS also wants a fundamental review of the "purpose and efficacy'' of the sanctions regime associated with the system and the impact it has on individuals, families and other services.
"There should be a moratorium on sanctions until the review is completed, so that people do not need to suffer the adverse impacts of sanctions unnecessarily,'' its report says.
The organisation has also identified possible complications due to the transfer of powers to Holyrood.
"The Scottish Government and Department for Work and Pensions should work closely to ensure the smooth devolution of the administrative flexibilities with the needs of people who receive Universal Credit at their heart,'' the report says.
CAS spokesman Rob Gowans said: "The principles behind Universal Credit are good. Anything that seeks to simplify the system and make it easier and more efficient has to be welcomed.
"So, we have always supported the policy and we want it to work.
"We also understand that any new system is bound to have teething problems and the government was right to roll out it slowly so that these could be identified.
"Our report today is published in that spirit. We are presenting the problems we have seen, so that they can be fixed.
"However, it is very important now that the government responds to this evidence with practical measures to improve the system.
"In the past, ministers have been slow to act in fixing such flaws and often deny their existence, despite overwhelming evidence.
"Universal Credit has a lot of goodwill and really could make life easier for many struggling households.
"But if the problems we have identified are not addressed, then the system really could cause serious detriment to some of the most vulnerable people in our society.''
A DWP spokesman said: "The reality is that Universal Credit, which is now available to all single jobseekers across Scotland, is revolutionising welfare, with claimants moving into work faster and earning more than under the old system.
"We are working closely with Holyrood on the transfer of a raft of new powers on tax and welfare that delivers for the people of Scotland.''

On 6 January this year, I suggested playing cautious in UK equities and holding 15 per cent in cash. In February, after the first up-tick in American interest rates, I suggested weeding out doubtful stocks to increase the cash content of your portfolio to 25 per cent. The FTA All-Share index peaked at 1,764 on 2 February and has since fallen by about 10 per cent to 1,581.
There is no doubt that it is very hard to make money in a bear market. For example, shares of shells that are usually so full of hope are soon looked at in a very different light. Instead of believing that the new management is going to make lots of attractive acquisitions and work wonders for the company, the emphasis switches to the poor underlying asset value, high gearing and the difficulty of underwriting shares to finance expansion.
Similarly, in a bull market, investors in a biotech stock might be hoping for a new drug to be developed and marketed throughout the world. In a bear market, the emphasis might switch to the fear of further delays in bringing the new drug on-stream and obtaining the necessary approvals. This could in turn result in the company running out of money, followed by yet another rights issue.
At the moment, the market may be simply undergoing a major correction or it could be in the early stages of a fully-fledged bear market. When Peter Lynch was interviewed by Barron's in late April, he explained that in this century there have been 50 American stock market declines of 10 per cent or more, of which 15 were 25 per cent or more. On average, therefore, every two years there is an American market correction of about 10 per cent, and every six years a bear market with a decline of at least 25 per cent. We usually follow America.
From the February peak, the UK market has had a 10 per cent correction already, so the key question is whether or not it will now extend into a bear market. Mr Lynch lays no claim to knowing the future direction of the Dow, but he does say that he can now find many more American shares that satisfy his criteria. He continues to believe that long term the stock market will remain one of the best mediums of investment. Certainly in this country, the 12 per cent overall return from the average share during the past 75 years evidences this point. Mr Lynch goes on to suggest that private investors should ask themselves if they are going to cash out or weather the storm, which may or may not materialise. I particularly like his concluding comment: 'The brain isn't the most important organ here, it's the stomach.'
The key point to remember is that, even if we are in a bear market, shares do not go down evenly across the board. In the early stages, bear markets can be very discriminating and selective; they cull the herd efficiently and decimate the prices of shares based on excessive hopes and extravagant promises. The kind of growth company that is likely to survive the bear market or the correction, with both its share price and the company itself remaining in good shape, is likely to possess these important characteristics today:
1. Earnings per share that have grown recently at an above-average rate and are reliably forecast to continue to do so.
2. A prospective price-earnings ratio that is below average in relation to the growth rate.
3. Strong cash flow with a sound balance sheet.
It goes without saying that businesses possessing these characteristics tend to have good management and some kind of competitive advantage. How else could they continue to produce profits increasing at an above-average rate?
I am encouraged to see that companies which are reporting better than expected figures are performing relatively well in the market. Electron House, for example, which I recommended at 118p in September, has just reported that sales for the current year will be up from pounds 78.4m to over pounds 100m, there will be no debt in the May 1994 balance sheet and earnings per share will be in excess of current expectations. The shares responded well with a rise to 152p.
BP shares have also responded well to the vastly better results, increased dividend and improved prospects. So have the shares of Next and Psion, and I have no doubt that there will be a sprinkling of other companies that will continue to show good relative strength even in the most difficult market conditions.
No one knows the future direction of the market. A significant unknown is whether or not rising interest rates and falling share prices will provoke investors in American mutual funds to become net sellers, reversing the massive flow of money into world equities.
Value is beginning to creep back into the UK market - the average prospective price-earnings ratio is about 15 and the average dividend yield is 3.7 per cent. The trouble with value as an immediate measure is that market prices swing like a pendulum from over-valuation to under-valuation - and we may now be heading in the latter direction. However, it is always comforting to know that value comes into its own eventually, so in a falling market the adage 'selection is more important than timing' is truer than ever.
The author is an active investor who may hold any shares he recommends in this column. Shares can go down as well as up. He has agreed not to deal in a share within six weeks before and after any mention in this column.

Get data over the web Python includes the 'urllib2' (successor to urllib) to fetch data given a URL. It can handle GET and POST requests for HTTP and HTTPS, do ftp, and read local files. Several web servers have an interface for programs to get data directly from the server instead of going through the HTML page meant for humans. But most of the time we have to do some screen- scraping.
Live demos! I'm off the net here at Dan's house on a Mac so I can't test the following examples. Hopefully I've had a time to prepare them during the break.
NCBI's EUtils Designed for software to access NCBI's databases directly. Can query literature and sequence databases. Biopython includes a library for working with it. Sadly, it's poorly documented. The module for this is Bio.EUtils
Remote BLAST (at NCBI) Biopython includes a library to run a job on NCBI's BLAST server. To your program it looks just like a normal function call. The module for this is Bio.BLAST.NCBIWWW
BLAST (locally) If you instead want to use a local installation of BLAST you can use Bio.Blast.NCBIStandalone
Microsoft/COM/Excel Python runs on Unix, Macs, Microsoft Windows, and more. Python support for Windows is very good. "The most Microsoft compliant language outside Redmond." COM is how one program can communicate with another under Windows. It's very easy to have Python talk to Excel to load or get data from a spreadsheet. For more information, see the "Win32 Programming in Python" book by Mark Hammond.
SQL Python can connect to different databases (like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle). Usually there are two ways to talk to the database; directly using the database-specific interface or indirectly through a Python adapter which tries to hide the differences between the databases. There is a standard open-source database schema for bioinformatics called BioSQL. Python supports it.

The advice comes as experts fear the number of cases of norovirus - which causes uncontrollable projectile vomiting - will soar this week as millions return to work and school after the Christmas break.
No part of the country has escaped the clutches of the winter vomiting bug, which is claiming up to 200,000 victims a week and costing the economy an estimated £40million a day in lost productivity.
Some 100 hospital wards were closed to new admissions last week in a desperate attempt to halt the march of the virus, which is 100,000 times more infectious than salmonella.
Scroll down for more
Non-essential operations are also being cancelled with visitors banned to stop the bug from spreading further.
Sally Bloomfield, an honorary professor at London's School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, urged families to protect themselves by taking simple precautions.
These include washing hands regularly and disinfecting much-used items, such as remote controls and phones.
In the case of computer keyboards, placing a note on the monitor reminding users to wash their hands before starting to type could prove easier than disinfection.
Scroll down for more
Other bug-busting tips include ventilating a room after someone has been sick, keeping the washing of those infected separate from other family members, and not sharing towels, toothbrushes or cutlery.
Professor Bloomfield, chairman of the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene, said: "I think people don't realise just how contagious the norovirus is.
"It is estimated that there are 30million virus particles in vomit and it may only take 100 of them to infect you, so you can see how it runs like wildfire through families. I don't think the bug has run its course yet."
Her advice came as the Government was urged to do more to tackle the outbreak, the worst for five years.
Katherine Murphy, of the Patients Association, said: "Instead of the Government giving a lead by making people aware of what to do, people are desperate and are turning up at their GP surgery.
"GPs can't cope, so people are turning up at A&E. By going into an area with lots of people, the chances of spreading this are greater.
"What we need is an annual campaign from the Department of Health telling people what to do."
The most common cause of stomach bugs, norovirus causes sickness, diarrhoea, fever, headaches and aching limbs.
Symptoms last for up to three days, although those who are infected remain contagious for another two days or so.
Although the virus is not normally dangerous and most make a full recovery, the very old, very young and those already seriously ill with other ailments risk complications from dehydration.
There is no treatment other than drinking plenty of liquids and staying at home to avoid spreading the bug.
The Royal College of GPs has warned workers to remain at home for 48 hours after symptoms subside to prevent passing on the virus. They should also stay away from surgeries and hospitals.
A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "Norovirus is not a ' superbug' and generally there are no longterm effects following infection.
"The NHS deals effectively with norovirus outbreaks all year round and this year is no different."

This is a breakthrough film depicting what a female with a fairy tale-like
upbringing experiences when she gets into the real world. Julie Christie
magnificent as the free-spirited, swinging role model for women
She has men falling right and left for her and even promises of wealth
beyond imagination. But her unfulfilment is perfectly depicted in this
daring and innovative film.
She falls for a famous dashing tele-journalist, but realises soon
that she is no match for his brain. She falls for a slick and smarmy
executive, hoping to find her place with the jet set. She sees the
shallowness of that existence soon enough! She does eventually find some
taste of fame and is swept away to Capri, one of the most romantic and
beautiful spots in the world. But there she sees only the shallow
reflection of her outer beauty when confronted with the deeper beauty of
elderly women praying with grace and humility at a local church. She does
also manage to meet a prince who wants to marry her. He gives her wealth,
title, an enormous glamourous estate, a tailor-made family (from a
marriage) and his deepest admiration. Unfortunately, his admiration is no
more deep for her than it might be for his prize horse or Rolls Royce.
has everything but love.
The film has much to say about the illusions of glamour that women are compelled to fulfil. They are compelled to fulfil those illusions because they never had an inkling that there could be anything else. Women could rub shoulders (and other body parts) with men of brilliance, of power, and of wealth, but their own surface existence could never be a match. The film is essentially a tragi-comedy, for beneath the delightful exterior of the film is the harsh reality that a surface life is no match for a life with purpose.
This film is also amazing because it is one of the few films that actually shows characters living in a real world, not just a world that revolves around the characters. Schlesinger fills the screen with a myriad of realities. The man on the street pontificating his views on city life, a famous author, celebrities, bohemians, a gay photographer who is not traumatised about what he is, and even that great symbol of solid innocence - the elderly woman feeding the pigeons at Picadilly Circus, they are all essentially equal in importance. We in fact are mainly introduced to Christie's character as she is plucked out of the street in an indiscriminate interview. She is much a product of the world as anyone else.
The film is still timely today, since there are still so many women who cling to the images and myths of ideal womanhood (ie: an illusion without soul or intelligence). All the performances are smashing. And yes, it is true, that swinging sixties feel is irresistible!

Carrie Fisher
Yearly Forecast for 2017
" I'm very sane about how crazy I am."
Carrie Fisher is an American actress, screenwriter, singer-songwriter, author, producer and speaker, best known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars films, her novels as Postcards from the Edge, and her one-woman play, and its nonfiction book, Wishful Drinking.
She was born on Sunday October 21st 1956, in Burbank, California, United States.
2017 is a year of dynamic change for Carrie Fisher. Many surprises will come her way, and Carrie better be open and ready to embrace new opportunities.
Fisher must not be overly careful this year. 2017 is a year in which a major step forward can take place if she is willing to take some calculated risks and do a little gambling. Wisdom and prudence is the key, but Carrie Fisher will definitely be faced with choices that require fast action and a willingness to act before all the facts are in. This is an exciting year in which she will be required to promote herself in order to take full advantage of the opportunities that await her. There will be increased opportunity to travel and possibly a change of residence.
Carrie may be tempted by the desires of the flesh: too much food, alcohol, sex, and drugs. She must be careful and discriminate. Fisher could make mistakes in these areas.
She will have some unexpected adventures and lucky breaks during 2017. This can be an unsettling year if Carrie Fisher tries to cling to outmoded methods or characteristics. This a year to throw off the old and adopt the new. It is a rebirth and a release after last year's struggle.
2017 is a year in which change takes place consistently, and particularly so in April and May. July 2017 is a breakthrough, a time to enjoy life. September 2017 can be intense, while October 2017 requires tact and balance in relationships.
Let's take a look now at Carrie's monthly forecast for April 2017.
You and Carrie
About Carrie's Personal Year Cycle
In numerology, each year of Carrie's life is part of an evolving pattern that can be described as a nine-year cycle or epicycle. These cycles begin at Carrie Fisher's birth and progress, one by one, through nine steps that complete an epicycle, and then begin again.

What are the dangers of LSD?
1 Answer | Add Yours
LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) has many dangers. Unlike many other illegal drugs it is not addictive, but it is very powerful.
First, it is illegal. Possessing, buying or selling it carries the risk of a jail term. Moreover, it involves associating with criminals, who can be quite dangerous people.
Next, there is no quality control for illegal street drugs. You don' t know what you are actually getting, or whether the drug has been "cut" with dangerous chemicals.
Even with a chemically pure dose, the sheer power of the hallucinations makes it dangerous. You might decide you have wings and jump out of a building or something equally hazardous and potentially lethal. Some people become suicidal under its influence and a small percentage may have psychotic episodes.

Another surprise result was the 4-1 defeat at Beckenham of Trojans, relegated from the National League at the end of last season. Two goals from David Knox and one each from Graham Butler and Simon Evans did the damage.
Peter Heyward and Richard Penrose scored for the second relegated side, City of Portsmouth, as they scrambled a 2-1 win at home to Bournemouth. James Grant was twice on target for newly promoted Eastcote, with James O'Shea getting the other as they beat Old Whitgiftians 3-2.
The draw for the second round of the EHA Cup was made yesterday with the National League Division One clubs coming in at this stage rather than in the third round as before. The Premier clubs will now come in the fourth round. Havant, past winners, have a local trip to play the Royal Navy.

Community and family cultural assessment Lecture 2 1 1 Clinical Application for Community Health Nursing (NUR 417)
After reading this lecture, the students should be able to understand the following: Explain the concept of culturally sensitive psychosocial nursing care. Discuss factors to consider when assessing culture and ethnicity in patients and their families. Consider treatment approaches to patients in various cultural and ethnic groups.. 2 2 Objectives
Culture is defined as a configuration of learned behaviors and beliefs that are shared and transmitted in a society and by a particular group of people. Culture is a system of beliefs, behaviors, and symbols that are learned, shared, and passed on through generations of a social group. Culture influences what people perceive, it guides their interactions, and it can change over time. Culture describes a particular society's entire way of living. 3 3 Introduction
Culturally competent nursing care is defined as being sensitive to issues related to culture, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and social or economic class. Cultural competence implies not only awareness of cultural differences but also the ability to assess and intervene appropriately and effectively. 4 4 Definition
1.Communication 2.Space 3.Social organization 4.Time 5.Environmental control 6.Biological variations 5 5 Cultures can be compared using six phenomena that vary with application and use, yet are seen across all cultural groups:
1. Communication This refers to all verbal and nonverbal behavior in the presence of another. Communication has its roots in culture. Cultural mores, norms, ideas, and customs are all expressed through communication. The nurse who cares for diverse patients must have an understanding of the client's needs and expectations as expressed through their communication and culture. 6 6
This element of culture refers to territoriality, density, and distance. It relates to how space is controlled, used, and defended. Three interpersonal dimensions of space in Western culture have been identified: the intimate zone (0–18 inches) (0-45cm) the personal zone (18–36 inches ) (45-90cm) the social zone (3–6 feet) (90-180cm) 7 7 2. Space:
Cultural behaviors are acquired through social interactions in groups such as families, religious groups, and ethnic groups. This process of learning cultural values is called acculturation. 8 8 3. Social organization
4. Time : Awareness of time is learned gradually. Some cultures place great importance on punctuality and efficiency, whereas others ignore the clock. 9 9
This element has to do with the degree to which individuals perceive they have control over their environment. Persons from various cultures have different beliefs about how much they can influence events in their lives. To provide culturally appropriate care, nurses should respect the individual's unique beliefs while understanding how these beliefs can be used to promote health in the patient's environment. 10 5. Environmental control
This element refers to biological differences in people from various racial and ethnic groups, such as body size and shape, skin and hair color, physiologic responses to medications, susceptibility to disease, and nutritional preferences. A new field called ethnopharmacology is addressing different responses to medications. 11 6. Biological variations:
A cultural assessment helps the nurse gather and use other information related to culture that is vital in providing culturally sensitive care. The nurse must be aware that beliefs about health and the causes of illness, appropriate care, and who should provide that care, can differ among cultures. 12 CULTURAL ASSESSMENT
Cultural assessment may take several hours. The list of questions (in the next 2 slides) can provide a brief but helpful focus for a relevant cultural assessment. Answers to these questions do not guarantee culturally competent care, but nevertheless good care cannot be provided without specific cultural and ethnic information When patient and health-care professionals are from different cultures, questions must be asked that respectfully acknowledge differences and build trust 13 CULTURAL ASSESSMENT
Where was the patient born? If an immigrant, how long in this country? What is the patient's ethnic affiliation, how strong is the ethnic identity? Who are the patient's major support people? Does patient live in an ethnic community? Who in the family takes responsibility for health concerns and decisions? Any activities in which the client may decline to participate because of culture, religious taboos? 14 Cultural Assessment—Questions to Ask
Any special food preferences, food refusals because of culture, religion? What are the primary and secondary languages, speaking and reading abilities? What is patient's religion, its importance in daily life, current practices? What is the patient's economic situation, is income adequate for needs? What are the patient's health beliefs and practices? What are patient's perceptions of health problem and expectations of health care? 15 Cultural Assessment—Questions to Ask
Ethnocentrism is defined as the belief that one's own cultural beliefs and health-care practices are superior to those of other cultures. To provide quality care to all individuals, nurses must be sensitive to patients' cultural differences and as aware as possible of their own cultural beliefs and behaviors 16
Culture often influences what a patient believes about his or her illness, its causes, and when and from whom to seek care. Although you may not be able to be aware of the specific beliefs of every culture, having some general information about the culture and ethnicity of patients for whom you frequently care for is important. 17
18 Enhancing Cultural Sensitivity Be aware of your own ethnocentrism. Be aware of your own prejudices that may influence your assessment. Maintain an open mind and seek out more information about your patient's culture, beliefs, and values. Communicate your interest about the patient's beliefs and values. Approach each patient as an individual. Avoid assuming people from one cultural background all hold the same beliefs.
Respect the role of the family in the patient's treatment. In some cultures, the family is responsible for protecting the patient, especially when the patient is the parent. In their role, family members may want to protect the patient from bad news. This may be contrary to your own belief in patient autonomy and, therefore, may lead to conflicts between the health-care providers and the family. 19
CULTURAL AND ETHNIC INFLUENCE ON COMMUNICATION Verbal and nonverbal communication patterns are closely tied to cultural beliefs and practices. Eye contact, hand gestures, facial expressions, and personal space, as well as how words or slang are used and what can be discussed, are defined by our culture and environment. For many people, eye contact indicates honesty, openness, and alertness. However, people in some cultures do not value eye contact and, in fact, even avoid it.
Some nonverbal behaviors such as facial expressions, hand gestures, and social distance vary among cultures. Also, some patients may be extremely uncomfortable when asked intimate, very personal questions, no matter how accepting and professional the nurse may be. If this information is vital to patient care, efforts need to be made to explain how the information will be used

Race for Angela Hunt's Council Seat Heats Up With Entry of Plan Commissioner Bobby Abtahi
Angela Hunt, the term-limited City Council member representing District 14, has already made it pretty clear whom she favors as her successor. That would be Philip Kingston, a Dallas attorney who entered the race last month and whose campaign treasurer is Paul Sims, aka Mr. Angela Hunt. If you still have any doubt, there's also this:
Proud to endorse Philip Kingston MT @robertwilonsky: First candidate in race to succeed @angelahunt: @philiptkingston shar.es/5ECUW
— Angela Hunt (@AngelaHunt) October 11, 2012
The field is crowded, however, with Jim Rogers, a founding member of the Bryan Place Neighborhood Association forging ahead with a campaign he launched back in 2011 and Judy Liimatainen, who sits on the board of the Greenland Hills Neighborhood Association. Now, add a fourth name to the mix: Robert "Bobby" Abtahi.
Abtahi, a lawyer and member of the City Plan Commission, officially announced his candidacy this morning, though he has been positioning himself for a run for a while, having penned a Morning News op-ed back in August calling for developers and neighbors to join together in support of a more vibrant city. Outgoing EducateDallas chair Mark Melton will be his treasurer.

In the press materials he passed along this morning, Abtahi touts his work as a community prosecutor with the city of Dallas, collaborating with police, the fire department, code enforcement and neighborhood leaders to tackle crime and blight in southern Dallas, a model he wants to see applied to the whole city.
It's hard to tell, now, who is the establishment candidate for District 14. Kingston has Hunt's backing, but Abtahi boasts the support of several heavy hitters, like former council members Craig Holcomb, Craig McDaniel and Ed Oakley. And Abtahi has at least has the advantage out of the gate, his candidacy -- unlike Philip Kingston's -- was not announced via a legal battle with Avi Adelman.
