This article explores how COVID-19 could be reshaping human–microbial relations in and beyond the home. Media sources suggest that intimacies of companionability or ambivalence are being transformed into those of fearfulness. While a probiotic sociocultural approach to human–microbial relations has become more powerful in recent times, it seems that health and hygiene concerns associated with COVID-19 are encouraging the wholesale use of bleach and other cleaning agents in order to destroy the potential microbial 'enemies' in the home. We provide a brief background to shiĞ ing public health discourses on managing microbes in domestic seĴ ings over recent decades across the industrialised world, and then contrast this background with emerging advice on COVID-19 from news and advertisement sources. We conclude with key areas for future research.

- Limited Submission Opportunity: 2024 V Foundation Adult Translational Cancer Research Awards
- Limited Submission Opportunity: 2024 William T. Grant Foundation Scholars Program
- Vanderbilt International Researchers Alliance will host annual symposium highlighting international research, inclusion and stories
By Amy Wolf
Vanderbilt University welcomed 74 highly accomplished new faculty across its nine Provost-reporting schools and colleges for the 2022–23 academic year. The fusion of inspired teaching, robust discovery and multifaceted collaboration is what makes Vanderbilt faculty uniquely world-changing. Here, some of the university's new faculty share their academic collaborations.
Panka Bencsik
Assistant professor of medicine, health and society and of public policy
Collaboration: Lawmakers and policymakers
Bencsik is an applied microeconomist, with research interests in the economics of mental and physical health and crime, particularly tied to the opioid crisis. She is teaching mental health policy and advanced quantitative methods.
"Mental health challenges are exceedingly widespread, and the opioid crisis is one of the largest public health emergencies America has faced in decades. Therefore, working on these questions allows me to contribute to our understanding of problems that we urgently need to learn more about," Bencsik said.
"Additionally, I am interested in and have expertise in collaborating with policymakers to support evidence-based decision-making. Seeing my research evidence thoughtfully used in policymaking is a particularly rewarding aspect of my role as an academic economist," she said.
James Bisbee
Assistant professor of political science
Collaboration: Data Science Institute
Bisbee uses data science methods to study how individuals adjust their political beliefs and behaviors based on information environments. He teaches data science at the Data Science Institute and international political economy within the Department of Political Science.
"My work has linked beliefs about free trade to hyper-local trade-related layoffs, studied how people socially distanced in response to local COVID-19 outbreaks, and measured the degree to which recommendation algorithms influenced the online information environments Americans experienced in the fall of 2020," Bisbee said. "The excitement comes from figuring out novel methodological and data science solutions to tricky empirical problems. The inspiration comes from anchoring said empirical work to established theories of human behavior."
Gianni Castiglione
Assistant professor of biological sciences and of ophthalmology and visual sciences
Collaboration: College of Arts and Science and School of Medicine
Castiglione studies the molecular basis of human blindness and aging. He teaches evolutionary biochemistry, which is the study of how molecules change over time to facilitate life, adaptation and disease.
"I chose Vanderbilt for the interdisciplinary nature of the institution. My work is very creative, and it takes a specific type of environment to facilitate that. I'm cross-appointed between Arts and Science and VUMC, and that combination is intellectually stimulating and practically conducive for my research in a very unique way," he said.
Rebecca Epstein-Levi
Assistant professor of Jewish studies and of gender and sexuality studies
Collaborations: Department of Jewish Studies and Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies
Epstein-Levi defines herself as a "practical ethicist" who examines questions of sexual, biomedical, disability and environmental ethics through Jewish rabbinic texts.
"Research-wise, I'm dotting the I's and crossing the T's on my first book, When We Collide: Sex, Social Risk, and Jewish Ethics, and researching my second project, which examines neurodivergent affinities in rabbinic texts and their implications for disability ethics," she said.
De-en Jiang
Professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering
Collaboration: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Jiang's expertise focuses on energy research, neutron science and computing. He spent eight years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory before entering academia.
"Joining Vanderbilt allows me to strengthen my ongoing collaborations with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and to explore collaborative opportunities with Vanderbilt faculty," Jiang said. "Moving back to Tennessee from the University of California Riverside and joining Vanderbilt offers me an opportunity to promote the broad collaboration between Vanderbilt and ORNL in the areas of energy research, neutron science and computing."
Lin Meng
Assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences
Collaborations: Department of Political Science, Division of Epidemiology, School of Engineering
Meng is a global change ecologist. She focuses her research on urban ecology, tropical ecology and climate change using remote sensing, field observations and Earth system modeling. She is teaching a first-year writing seminar about plants and climate change.
"Vanderbilt is a great place to conduct interdisciplinary research by bringing together Earth science, social and political science, epidemiology and engineering. The new climate studies major offers a fantastic opportunity to develop climate-focused research and teaching," Meng said.

The Progressive Party's "compromise" with public opinion in the United States points to its legacy for American politics and government. Arguably, the failure of the 1912 experiment and the Progressive Party's demise underscore the incoherence of the Progressive movement. Nevertheless, it was neither the Democrats, nor the Republicans, nor the Socialists who set the tone of the 1912 campaign. It was the Progressives. Beyond the 1912 election, their program of political and social reform has been an enduring feature of American political discourse and electoral struggle. The Progressive Party forged a path of reform that left both social democracy and conservatism—Taft's constitutional sobriety—behind. Similarly, T.R.'s celebrity, and the popularity of the Progressive doctrine of the people's right to rule, tended to subordinate the more populist to the more plebiscitary schemes in the platform, such as the initiative, the referendum, and the direct primary, which exalted not the "grass roots" but mass opinion. Indeed, in the wake of the excitement aroused by the Progressive Party, Wilson, whose New Freedom campaign was far more sympathetic to the decentralized state of courts and parties than T.R.'s, felt compelled, as president, to govern as a New Nationalist Progressive.
It is interesting to think of how this most unusual election—one with three major candidates that pitted a former president against an incumbent and a major party contender—related to the larger Progressive movement. The cartoon below is only one of many cartoons of that era that sought to point out the differences between the candidates (Figure 21.21). While Roosevelt and the Progressive Party ultimately lost the election, they required the dialogue of the campaign to remain on the goals of Progressivism, particularly around more direct democracy and business regulation. The American public responded with fervor to Roosevelt's campaign, partly because of his immense popularity, but partly also because he espoused a kind of direct democracy that gave people a voice in federal politics. Although Wilson and his New Freedom platform won the election, his presidency undertook a more activist role than his campaign suggested. The American public had made clear that, no matter who sat in the White House, they were seeking a more progressive America.

The digital euro will be free to use and available to all, but the European Central Bank (ECB) does not want to let people make programmed, regular payments to cover transactions like bills or rent.
ECB Executive Board Member Fabio Panetta gave the assurances on Monday in a speech to the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.
"Our priority for the digital euro project has always been clear: to preserve the role of central bank money in retail payments by offering an additional option for paying with public money, including where this is not possible today, for example in eCommerce", Panetta said.
The digital euro is currently in an investigation phase, as it has been for a year. The investigation phase is to be completed in the fall, at which time the ECB Governing Council will decide whether to take a digital euro to the next phase, Panetta explained.
Public good
"The digital euro would be a public good", Panetta told the EP committee. "It would therefore make sense for its basic services to be free of charge – for example when using the digital euro to pay another person, as is the case for cash".
Commercial banks have been concerned that a digital euro would make their own services redundant. Panetta addressed these concerns by saying that the ECB would offer no accounts to citizens and would not let people make programmed, regular payments to cover transactions like bills or rent. He stressed that the ECB "is not in the business of creating competition for commercial banks".
"We believe supervised intermediaries, who are in direct contact with users, are best placed to identify use cases for conditional payments and any other advanced payment services", Panetta said.

Fun and Effective Practice Tips
Practicing Dutch animal names is crucial for building vocabulary and fluency in the language. Here are some effective strategies to help you excel:
- Flashcards: Create flashcards with pictures of animals on one side and their corresponding Dutch names on the other. Quiz yourself by looking at the picture and trying to recall the Dutch word. You can also reverse the process by looking at the Dutch word and trying to visualize the animal.
- Labeling: Label objects or pictures of animals around your living space with their Dutch names. This helps you associate the words with the actual objects and reinforces your memory through visual cues.
- Writing Exercises: Write short sentences or paragraphs using Dutch animal names. Describe the animals, their characteristics, or even create a short story involving them. This exercise helps you practice writing skills while expanding your vocabulary.
- Conversations and Language Exchanges: Engage in conversations with Dutch-speaking friends, language exchange partners, or native speakers. Discuss animals, describe them, and use their Dutch names in context. This not only helps you practice pronunciation but also boosts your overall language proficiency.
- Watch Videos and Listen to Audio: Watch videos or listen to podcasts, songs, or audio clips that feature animals. Pay attention to the Dutch names mentioned and try to repeat them aloud. This exercise improves your listening skills and pronunciation.
- Visit Zoos, Parks, or Animal Exhibits: Take advantage of opportunities to visit zoos, parks, or animal exhibits where you can see and interact with animals. Read the information plaques or listen to guided tours in Dutch to learn the names of animals in real-life contexts.
- Play Language Learning Games: Use language learning apps or online platforms that offer interactive games and quizzes specifically designed for practicing vocabulary. Many of these resources have specific sections dedicated to animals.

Cowan's Corner: Inside track for Outsider Art
Outsider Art is almost exclusively comprised of sculpture and paintings. Though traditional art mediums such as oil paint, watercolor, canvas, wood and stone are used, much of this art is not created in traditional ways. Artists use found or easily accessible materials such as plastic, cardboard, discarded wood or metal, organic materials such as tree roots and mud, combined with house paint, plaster, or colored marker pens. All can be sources of inspiration and tools for the artists' creations.
The genre has grown in popularity over the last 40 years, with the works of recognized masters such as William Edmondson, Martin Ramirez, Howard Finster, Sam Doyle and Bill Traylor commanding prices in the thousands. Important public and private collections house pieces by these artists and others, and as such, collectors should be prepared to pay accordingly. Sources known to handle these works, such as collectors, dealers and auction houses, should be consulted when pieces become available for sale. However, this is an exciting field in that despite its popularity, Outsider Art is still available and affordable for just a few hundred dollars.
The key to collecting is study and patience. "Honing the eye," by viewing works first-hand in museum collections, exhibitions and galleries, is just as important as reading one of the many books written about the field. Having a passion for what you buy and buying the best quality you can afford make collecting a fulfilling experience. Many of these works can be colorful, textural, bold, interesting and mysterious; in some cases this can describe a single piece. Outsider Art will show you many one-of-a-kind perspectives on the world, and the adventures you have while seeking pieces and learning about artists will produce priceless memories.

408 Temporary Activity Visa VS 500 Student Visa
In the last few days, there have been many headlines in the news attracting the attention of all temporary visa holders in Australia, such as:
- The temporary relaxations of work restrictions for Student Visa Holders employed at aged-care facilities, disability programs, tourism, hospitality, health, and agriculture.
- Re-opening of Australian borders to all temporary visa holders in mid-2022. Some reports state intentions to accelerate the process later this year, with the NSW Government planning to allow entry for international students in August this year.
- Subclass 408 visa is now also available for those who are working in the hospitality or tourism industries.
The above news has created some excitement and confusion for those who are on temporary visas right now. Hence, we asked our partner migration agency Astute Immigration Advisory shed some light on the pros and cons of choosing either of the above options.
Tourism and hospitality have been added to the critical sectors of agriculture, food processing, health care, aged care, disability care, and childcare for eligibility for the Subclass 408 COVID-19 Pandemic Event visa. Temporary visa holders employed in the tourism and hospitality sector can now access this SC 408 stream for 12 months.
Temporary visa holders working in or intending to work in tourism and hospitality will be able to apply for the SC 408 COVID-19 Visa up to 90 days before their existing visa expires and then remain in Australia for up to 12 additional months.
However, it is not as easy as it sounds. The application must be supported by detailed evidence that you are working in a critical sector and that the employer could not employ an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident to fill your position.
Furthermore, this visa requires you to work for a critical sector and does not provide you with a pathway to Permanent Residency. It is important to note that the Delegate may grant this visa for you only for the duration of 3 months.
The previous 40-hour fortnightly limit applied during study periods will not be enforced for student visa holders who are working in the tourism and hospitality industry.
The Department is taking a flexible approach to students working beyond the usual work limitations in the following industries:
- employed in the health sector, enrolled in a health-related course (such as nursing or medicine) and are directed by a health official to assist in the effort against COVID‑19
- employed in aged care by an Approved Provider or Commonwealth-funded aged care service provider before 8 September 2020
- employed by a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme provider before 23 April 2020
- employed in the agriculture sector
- employed in the tourism and hospitality sector
To work in the aged care, disability, agriculture, or hospitality and tourism sectors, you do not need to study in the same field. Hence, you should pursue studies that will provide you with better chances to stay in Australia permanently. Remember – this is a temporary arrangement only and will be reverted once the economy bounces back from COVID-19.
The additional work experience during your studies may assist you if you are pursuing the occupation of Chef. However, you must have post-graduate experience in all other fields to meet further skilled or employer-sponsored visa requirements.
Accordingly, Astute Immigration Advisory recommends sticking with a student visa if you plan to stay in Australia permanently.

Abstract :
The literature on screening mammography provides ample opportunity for doubt (the sceptics) and dogma (the screening zealots), and can be interpreted to prove both benefit and harm. The benefit of mammography screening, if any, is modest and the balance between beneficial (potentially, a 20% relative reduction in breast cancer mortality with no significant benefit on all-cause mortality) and harmful (physical and psychological morbidity related to the 15-40% missed cancers and the 80-90% false-positive diagnoses) effects is still delicate. The mammogram alone is a modest weapon. Concurrent clinical breast examination is mandatory. Women that are concerned about breast cancer should be fully informed of the potential benefits and risks of screening mammography. These women should benefit from mammography with concurrent clinical breast examination, and possible whole-breast ultrasound in heterogeneously dense and extremely dense breast patterns.

New Face/Off Director Reveals if Film Is Sequel or Reboot
Earlier today came news that Godzilla vs Kong director Adam Wingard and his frequent collaborator [...]
Earlier today came news that Godzilla vs Kong director Adam Wingard and his frequent collaborator Simon Barrett have been tapped to make a new Face/Off movie for Paramount Pictures. At the time the report from the Hollywood trades noted that the film would be a reboot of the classic 1997 action-thriller, but in a new Instagram post where he confirmed his involvement, Wingard addressed that specific verbage, revealing that the film they're developing is actually a sequel to John Woo's movie. "I would NEVER re-imagine or remake FACE/OFF," Wingard wrote. "It's a perfect action movie. Simon Barrett and I are writing a direct SEQUEL!"
A new version of the film was first announced in the trades in September of 2019 with Oren Uziel (22 Jump Street, The Cloverfield Paradox) at the time hired to write the script. Today's news revealed that Wingard and Barrett will start from scratch on their version of the film which should have been a clue that they might be making a sequel rather than a full on reboot of the concept. This marks Wingard and Barrett's latest direct sequel to a property from the late '90s, having previously developed the 2016 Blair Witch sequel, a follow-up to the 1999 indie hit The Blair Witch Project.
View this post on Instagram
As you may recall, the original (now first) Face/Off saw John Travolta and Nicolas Cage starring opposite each other and their characters undergoing facial transplants to become each other. It's Cage playing Travolta and Travolta playing Cage in two completely unhinged performances. Hilarity, shenanigans, and explosions ensue across ever escalating set pieces, and in the end Travolta's Sean Archer (appearing as Cage's Castor Troy) kills his foe that's wearing his own face. In the end, Travolta is restored to his former glory.
So where does this leave the newfound sequel? The door is now seemingly open for Travolta to return as his character in some way, but it's unclear if that's in the cards. Another potential angle is the character of Adam, Archer's freshly adopted son at the end of the film who was previously tied up in Troy's drug empire (and filling the void left in Archer's life by the death of his biological son). There are a lot of angles, and a lot of faces, that this new movie could go.
Check back here for more details on the new Face/Off as we learn them!

The Muskoka Arts & Crafts Summer Show Returns to Celebrate 60 Years in 2022!
Head to the shores of the Muskoka River in Bracebridge, Ontario, July 15-17 for cottage country's largest outdoor arts and crafts show.
The new executive director of the Muskoka Arts & Crafts (MAC) organization will tell you that people are clamoring for the unbridled return of everyone's favourite summer show. Nichole Kitchen started her job in March, and since then her phone hasn't stopped ringing, with devotees calling for assurances that things will be going ahead this year. Not only is the show happening, says Kitchen, but MAC is introducing a few extra features as well.
"There is such an incredible vibe surrounding this event," says Kitchen. "Visitors from near and far have really missed it as part of their own family and friends' summer tradition. Returning to Annie Williams Memorial Park for our 60th anniversary is a welcome opportunity to reunite artists and fans alike."
More than 200 artists and crafters are scheduled to take part amidst the towering pines of the park, with everything represented from paintings and sculptures, to pillows and purses.
"It's a wonderful, eclectic mix of items," says Kitchen. "That's what makes it so special."
New this year at the show, Kitchen says there will be live music and craft beer in addition to the food trucks that offer delicious bites. Also new this year, the event is now ticketed, with a small fee for entrance. This is to help MAC track how many people actually attend, and to also assist this member-based arts organization as it recovers from the pandemic. Visitors can save on advanced ticket purchase as well.
Of course, one of the best things about the MAC Summer Show is just spending time along the shores of the stunning Muskoka River, and pausing to enjoy the beauty of this place. For many of the participating artisans, this is the renowned landscape that inspires them in their work, and you'll often see that reflected in the items they bring to their booths.
The park itself – named for the wife of one of the town's early physicians – is a sprawling 10-acre property that includes a playground for the kids. And the picturesque town of Bracebridge is bustling in summer as well, with plenty to see and do when you "Visit the Bridge."
Nichole Kitchen hopes people will return to the annual Muskoka Arts & Crafts Summer Show to celebrate the 60th anniversary, to support the incredible artists and crafters who are participating, and to feel the post-pandemic buzz of gathering once again.
"We are really excited to be returning," she says. "We can't wait to see everyone on the weekend of July 15th."
The MAC Summer Show takes place at Annie Williams Memorial Park in Bracebridge, Ontario, located at 50 Santa's Village Road. Parking is available at the park, or on side streets (please be respectful of residential neighbours).
Friday, July 15: 10am to 6pm
Saturday, July 16: 10am to 6pm
Sunday, July 17: 10am to 4pm

Climate Change and Vector-Borne Diseases: Methodological Approaches
At the end of this Curricular Unit the participants should have acquired advanced knowledge on the main insect-borne diseases and its transmission mechanisms in order to , based on various "hands on" methodologies, be able to: 1. Design and implement methods for collecting environmental information and bionomical parameters of insects with medical importance. 2. Use autonomously GIS tools for modelling vectors distribution. 3. Develop predictive models for current and future geographic distributions of insect-vectors of human diseases and discuss the results in terms of their epidemiological consequences.

Acronym: Local Area Network
A term originally used for offices that wanted to network their computers. With the advent of the Internet, it refers to a definable area in your immediate vicinity, usually all connected to the same T1 line.
Because they are closer together and usually connected by faster equipment, LAN connections are almost always faster and have a smaller ping than Internet connections. LAN Parties exist for this reason instead of simply staying at home and playing remotely.
Filesharing on a LAN
While few File sharing tools truly take advantage of a LAN connection, Internet File Sharing is very rarely faster than any LAN. While most Filesharing connections on a DSL or Cable connection will reach a maximum of around 50k per second, even a slow computer on a LAN with low-end routers or hubs are at least ten times faster.
To enable file sharing between two computers on a LAN connection, check the networking options in your OS or simply start up an instant messaging tool with file-send capabilities. FTP Clients and servers are also great.
Other variations on LAN
- A LAN that is not connected to the Internet is a Private Network.

Like any fisting maniac, I am addicted to gay fisting porn. Here I tried to select the sites I visit most often. I divided them into paid and free ones. I hope it's useful for you.
Free sites
- Redixx.Com is one of my favorite sites for fisting. It has an amazing amount of videos and you can spend weeks while watching them.
- TubeFist.Com is a small tube. The number of videos is small, but I like that they are very well categorized.
- Gay-Pissing.Com is my place for water sports. I love pissing and this site is one of the few free ones where there is quality content.
Paid Sites
- FistingInferno is definitely the best paid site for gay fisting porn. It includes all videos by Club Inferno Dungeon and Fisting Central, so the collection of videos is very impressive.
- RawAndRough.Com is another of my favorites. The site is a unique combination of fetish videos that include fisting, bareback, leather, piss play, and more. Unfortunately, it has not been updated in recent years.
- DarkAlleyXT.Com is owned by Matthias Von Fistenberg. Surely you have heard of this legendary actor. The site is already abandoned, but I still like all of Matthias' movies and use them as a background during fisting sessions.
- Kinkmen.Com is an institution in BDSM. Since I am not indifferent to these practices, I highly recommend this site. I like that most of the men there are dressed in leather, one of the things I really love.
- RawFuckClub.Com has an amazing collection of channels and videos. It's similar to other fan sites but I like it most.
If you do not see your site here and think that it is interesting for fisting fans, write me a message on the e-mail shown to exchange links.

Embedding at a Glance
Embedding allows you to manage your dashboards and widgets directly through your Knowi account and then display the results within your own app or webpage. You might be thinking a simple solution would be to screenshot your chart and paste it in your webpage as a JPEG but doing so you would be sacrificing a variety of features. Embedding allows for the visualization(s) to update automatically in real time as new records are reported in your dataset, this will save you from having to make updates periodically if you were to go the JPEG route. Embedding also allows for drilldowns in your data which allows you to navigate to related visualizations in the same frame at the click of a button. You also have the ability to allow or limit the end user from filtering the data at your discretion. Embedding also allows for your visualization(s) to be interactive for the end user rather than just a static image. As you move your mouse along datapoints, the tooltip will display relevant information about the specific data point, you can click on specific groupings of data to isolate them as seen below.
Embedding Options
There are multiple options available when embedding to give you full control over who can interact with your data and how it is presented. The first and simplest method is embedding through iFrame. By going to the share option on a dashboard or visualization you can generate code that can be easily copied and pasted into your webpage HTML or application. This will allow your viewers to see your visualizations or dashboards as if they were viewing it straight from your Knowi account. This option is super easy and requires the least amount of technical skills as your only inputs are the height and width of the iFrame.
Javascript API
If you want more control over functionality and aesthetic you can instead embed with Javascript API to customize the look and feel of the embedded content however you like. Javascript API gives you full control over the output on your web page while Knowi processes all the data on the backend. You have complete control over which elements are visible and which functions are accessible to the end user such as enabling and disabling filters, Ad-hoc analysis, widget settings, etc. The complete Javascript API Reference to customize your embed can be found here and instructions for using the proper HTML script can be found here.
Single Sign-On
In certain instances you may want to embed content that is on a need-to-know basis. Some content might be for certain eyes only, sometimes different people/departments need to see information specific to their roles and responsibilities. This can be accomplished using single sign-on where the data will only be displayed to users who have been authorized. Permissions can also be specific to the user with user filtering. User identity, permissions, access level, and attributes are all constructed within the browser session of the single sign-on user, which is created using a unique customer token. Anyone with access to the customer token may create an SSO user to which that Knowi instance is connected to, as any user, with any permission.
Search Based Analytics
In addition to embedding widgets and dashboards, you can also embed search based analytics. This embeds a search box into your webpage that allows the user to ask questions from a dataset in plain English and results will be produced through natural language processing. You can ask questions such as "What were our total sales" and the query will automatically aggregate the data to count the number of sales recorded in the previous month. You can also ask "Show revenue by quarter for the last 5 years" to query the data and then you can easily turn those results into a nice line chart to visualize it. This type of embedding requires single sign-on in order to protect your queries. To learn more about NLP Search-Based Analytics check out our blog about it here.
Embedding Tutorial from Start to Finish
Now let's go step by step through a simple use case. You can follow along on your existing Knowi account or if you're new you can sign up for your free trial at Knowi.com.
Step 1: The first step is connecting to your datasource, for this example we will be connecting to MongoDB Atlas but you can connect to any of your own if you wish. To do so go to the Queries tab on the left hand side then click the orange NEW DATASOURCE+ button in the top right corner. Then select Mongo DB Atlas. The endpoints to connect to Knowi's Mongo account will already be filled in for you so all you have to do next is hit the save button.
Step 2: Now that we are connected to the datasource the next step is to hit the Start Querying button. Let's name our first query "Supply Chain Metrics," then scroll down and select "supply_chain" under Collections. Then for Metrics we will select "assembly_location" and "Order_#" then click on Order_# and select Count for Operation. Now select "assembly_location" for Dimensions/Group by. We should now have a query that shows us the total number of orders for each assembly plant to check your work click Preview at the bottom.
Step 3: Below the query click on the box that says Data Grid and select Donut as your visualization type. Now hit Save & Run Now at the bottom of your screen.
Step 4: Now that you know how to make a query, let's see if you can make one on your own. For our next query let's title it "Delayed Shipments", group by "carrier" and "assembly_location", and Sum of "shipment_delayed" as a metric, then choose the visualization type as Stacked Column.
Step 5: Add your Supply Chain Metrics widget to your dashboard.
Step 6: Now create a drilldown to Delayed Shipments by going to the widget options in the top right corner of the Supply Chain Metrics widget. Select Drilldowns, in the drilldown builder select widget as the drilldown type and Delayed Shipments for Drill into: and then hit save.
Step 7: Now let's embed this widget. Go back to the widget options and click share, click to generate a shareable URL and then copy the iFrame code under Embed.
Step 8: Now you can paste that code in any web page or web application, if you do not have one to practice with you can paste it into an HTML editor to see the result.
Now you have a dynamic widget that can be seen by anyone who goes to that page, try filtering it and clicking on the visualization to activate the drilldown. Now that you know how easy it is to embed with Knowi go try it out with your own data!

The Canucks have a couple of secret weapons, but their impotent power play is preventing the team from making the most of them
A quick glance at the NHL standings shows the Vancouver Canucks just a handful of points out as they approach the stretch run of the 2021/22 season. Against the odds, the Canucks are still very much in the race, and look as though they'll remain so well into April.
But as improved as the situation may appear right now, things could always be better. Specifically, the Canucks could actually be a fair bit ahead of where they are in the standings, because they've got a couple of secret weapons on the roster that no one seems to be talking about, because they're not taking full advantage of them.
Who are those secret weapons?
Elias Pettersson and Conor Garland.
Now, we know what you're thinking. Pettersson and Garland are two of the biggest names in the organization. They're top-six forwards who are expected to score on the regular. They're weapons, to be sure, but they aren't exactly secret ones.
But when we talk about secret weapons, we're specifically referring to Pettersson and Garland's uncanny ability to draw penalties.
As of this writing (prior to February 28's matchup against the New Jersey Devils), Garland and Pettersson sit tied for 8th and tied for 12th in penalties drawn leaguewide, with 24 and 22, respectively.
Things look even better when you get into "Net Penalties," which compares the amount of penalties a player draws to the amount that they take.
From NHL.com
In drawing 22 penalties and taking only four, Pettersson's +18 net penalty rating ranks second-best in the entire NHL, trailing only Connor McDavid…ever heard of him?
Garland lags only slightly behind with a differential of +14, good enough for 7th in the league.
That means that, between the two of them, Pettersson and Garland have earned the Canucks a surplus of 32 power plays thus far in the 2021/22 season. That's more than an extra power play every two games!
The duo is a major part of the reason why the Canucks are third in the league in penalties drawn as a team with 225. The next two highest Canucks on the "Net Penalties" chart are Travis Hamonic and Tucker Poolman at +3 each. That's not even the same stratosphere.
Truly, this is a nearly singlehanded effort — or should that be doublehanded? Pettersson and Garland's combined 46 penalties drawn makes up more than a fifth of the Canucks' total. In other words, they're accruing power plays at more than double the rate of the average player. Their collaborative +32 net penalty rating is the highest among any two teammates in the league. Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson-Ek are next with +29, and then no one else is particularly close.
And what do Pettersson and Garland have to show for it?
Not much.
Unfortunately, power plays only really make a difference when you score on them, and that's been a challenge for the Vancouver Canucks. Though the man advantage has improved under coach Bruce Boudreau, it still sits at a decidedly middle-of-the-road 20.9%, good enough for 13th in the league as of this writing, but only a single percentage-point away from the bottom-ten.
Imagine how frustrating this phenomenon must be for Garland, in particular. He goes out there, draws a boatload of penalties, and then sits on the bench while the top unit goes out there and — more often than not — doesn't score. Not only is the team squandering all the extra special teams chances he's generating, but Garland isn't even being given the chance to do anything about it.
Just converting on 5% more of their power play chances so far would have given the Canucks an extra ten or so goals on the season already. That's enough to give them a goal differential in line with Los Angeles and Vegas, current occupants of the #2 and #3 slots in the Pacific Division.
Would this single factor be enough to have the Canucks in a playoff position right now? That's impossible to say, but it certainly wouldn't hurt.
Thankfully, it's not too late to do something about it, either. If there's one single component of their game that the Canucks should focus on as they attempt to close in on the postseason, it's this. Right now, they're a team that has not one, but two of the best penalty-drawing skaters in all of hockey, combined with an average-to-below-average power play.
If they can crank that power play percentage up a few notches and secret weapons Pettersson and Garland can keep drawing the opposition into infractions, it will definitely result in a few extra goals down the stretch.
And with the standings this tight? A few extra goals could make all the difference.

Modern Languages Association (MLA) MLA 2009 Formatting and Style Guide
MLA General Format MLA style specifies guidelines for formatting. It is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. MLA style also provides writers with a system for referencing their sources through parenthetical citation in their essays and Works Cited pages. The use of MLA style can protect writers from accusations of plagiarism.
Paper Format General Guidelines Use a computer and print on standard, white 8.5 x 11 inch paper. Double-space the text of your paper (Format > Paragraph > Line Spacing > Double), and use a legible font (e.g. Times New Roman). The font size should be 12 pt. Leave only one space after periods or other punctuation marks Set 1 inch margins on all sides of the document. (This is usually pre-set) (Format > Document > Margin) Indent the first line of paragraphs by using the Tab key. (This is one half-inch from the left margin) All pages should be numbered (unless your instructor specifies otherwise) (Insert > Page Number > Top of page > Right alignment) Use italics throughout your essay for the titles of longer works and, only when absolutely necessary, providing emphasis.
Formatting the First Page of Your Paper Do not make a title page! In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course code, and the date (date, month, year). Again, be sure to use double-spaced text. Double space again and centre the title. Do not underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks. Double space between the title and the first line of the text. Create a header (View > Header/Footer) in the upper right-hand corner that includes your last name, followed by a space with a page number; number all pages consecutively with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc).
In-Text Citations: The Basics MLA uses parenthetical citations (citations in parentheses). Parenthetical citations direct readers to the full bibliographic citations listed in the Works Cited, located at the end of the document. The way you format parenthetical citations depends on the medium (e.g. Print, Web, DVD, etc) When you directly quote the works of others in your paper, you will format quotations differently depending on their length. Following are some basic guidelines for incorporating quotations into your paper. Please note that all pages in MLA should be double spaced.
Short Quotations To indicate short quotations (fewer than four typed lines of prose or three lines of verse) in your text, –Enclose the quotations within double quotation marks. –Provide the author and specific page number - e.g. (Lee 9) –In the case of verse (poetry) provide line numbers - e.g. (Plath 4-6) –In the case of Shakespeare provide Act, Scene, Line numbers - e.g. (Shakespeare 1.2.12-14) Include a complete reference on the Works Cited page.
Short Quotations Punctuation marks such as periods, commas, and semicolons should appear after the parenthetical citation. –E.g. According to some, dreams express "profound aspects of personality," though others disagree (Foulkes 184). Question marks and exclamation points should appear within the quotation marks if they are part of the quoted passage. –E.g. Foulkes asks, "do dreams express our personalities?" (Foulkes 184). If question marks or exclamation points are not part of the quoted text, they come after the quotation marks. –E.g. Is it possible that dreams may express "profound aspects of personality" (184)?
Long Quotations For quotations that are four or more lines of verse or prose: –Place quotations in a free-standing block of text and omit any quotation marks. –Start the quotation on a new line, with the entire quote indented one inch from the left margin; maintain double- spacing. –Only indent the first line of the quotation by a half inch if you are citing multiple paragraphs. –Your parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark.
Adding or Omitting Words in Quotations If you add a word or words in a quotation, you should put brackets around the words to indicate that they are not part of the original text. If you omit a word or words from a quotation, you should indicate the deleted word or words by using ellipsis marks, which are three periods (…) preceded and followed by a space. –E.g. In an essay on urban legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that "some individuals make a point of learning every recent rumor or tale … and in a short time a lively exchange of details occurs" (Brunvand 78). Please note that brackets are not needed around ellipses unless adding brackets would clarify your use of ellipses.
Works Cited Page: Basic Format According to MLA style, you must have a Works Cited page at the end of your paper. All entries in the Works Cited page must correspond to the works cited in your main text.
Works Cited NOT a Bibliography!!! Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your paper. It should have the same one-inch margins and last name, page number header as the rest of your paper. Label the page Works Cited (do not italicize the words Works Cited, put them in quotes or add the word "Page" to the end) and centre the words Works Cited at the top of the page. Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries. Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations five spaces so that you create a hanging indent. List page numbers of sources efficiently, when needed. If you refer to a journal article that appeared on pages 225 through 250, list the page numbers on your Works Cited page as 225-50.
Capitalization and Punctuation Capitalize the first letter of each word in the titles of plays, books, etc. but do not capitalize the first letter of conjunctions or prepositions unless one is the first word of the title or subtitle. –E.g. Gone with the Wind, The Art of War, There is Nothing Left to Lose Use italics (instead of underlining) for titles of larger works (books, magazines) and quotation marks for titles of shorter works (poems, articles)
Listing Author Names Entries are listed by author name (or, for entire edited collections, editor names). Author names are written last name first; middle names or middle initials follow the first name. –E.g. Burke, Kenneth C. Do not list titles (Dr., Sir, Saint, etc.) or degrees (PhD, MA DDS, etc.) with names.
Citation Format - Books and Plays Authors Name. Title of Literature. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Type of Publication. –E.g. Shakespeare, William. Romeo and Juliet. Toronto: Harcourt Canada, 2001. Print. Miller, Arthur. The Crucible. Toronto: Penguin Books, 1982. Print.
More than one work by an author If you have cited more than one work by a particular author, order the entries alphabetically by title, and use three hyphens in place of the author's name for every entry after the first. –E.g. Burke, Kenneth C. A Grammar of Motives. […] ---. A Rhetoric of Motives. [..]
Works Cited Page: Web Web Source Format: Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). "Article Name." Name of Site. Version number. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher). Date of last update. Medium of publication. Date of access. For Example: Bernstein, Mark. "10 Tips on Writing the Living Web." A List Apart: For People Who Make Websites. A List Apart Mag., 16 Aug. 2002. Web. 4 May 2009. Felluga, Dino. Guide to Literary and Critical Theory. Purdue U, 28 Nov. 2003. Web. 10 May 2006. "How to Make Vegetarian Chilli." eHow.com. eHow, n.d. Web. 24 Feb. 2009.
Other general guidelines : Do not use contractions in your writing. i.e. Can't = cannot, don't = do not, etc. Do not use numerals, write the word. i.e. 9 = nine, 100 = one hundred, etc. Do not use abbreviations or short forms. i.e. Tues. = Tuesday, 'cause = because Use third person, not first person. i.e. Don't use our, my, I believe, etc.; Do use they, them, people, etc. Use present tense not past tense. i.e. Romeo killed Tybalt = Romeo kills Tybalt

As your helpful assistant, I will provide you all the information that is needed about CBD and THC. These are two of the most common compounds found in Cannabis plants. CBD 30 Mg. While they have many similarities, they also have some key differences that are important to understand before using any cannabis-based products. Let's take a look at CBD and THC.
Introduction to CBD and THC – CBD 30 Mg
CBD and THC are both cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. While they share some similarities, such as their chemical makeup and the fact that they can both be used for medicinal purposes, they also have some distinct differences. THC is well-known for its psychoactive properties, while CBD does not.
What is THC THC
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. It is responsible for the "high" that is commonly associated with using marijuana. THC works by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, which can result in feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception of time and space.
THC has some therapeutic benefits such as nausea relief and pain relief, but it also has some risks. THC use can cause memory loss, paranoia and addiction.
THC oil and its potential effects
THC oil is an extract of THC from cannabis plants. It is often used in vaporizers or edibles, and can have more potent effects than smoking marijuana. Some of the potential risks of using THC oil include increased heart rate, dizziness, hallucinations, and psychosis.
It is important to note that THC oil is illegal in many states, and should only be used under the guidance of a medical professional.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is another cannabinoid that can be found in cannabis plants. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive and does not produce the same "high" that is associated with marijuana use.
