Red Sox Fans Losing Hope
When I visited my mother in her apartment on Saturday, I was surprised that she wasn't watching the Red Sox. She can generally be counted on to watch the Red Sox.
"I don't like to watch them lose," she said.
"What kind of fan are you?" I asked.
She shrugged. "The kind who doesn't like to watch them lose," she said.
My mother is not alone. Lots of fans stop watching their teams when they are losing. Unless you have money riding on the result, following a team is something you are supposed to do for fun, and for a lot of fans, the fun kind of goes out of it when their favorite highly compensated and scientifically assembled clubhouse full of exceptional athletes unaccountably begins behaving like a random group of discouraged clowns.
Not so long ago, what's been happening to the Red Sox in September would not have been cause for anything but wry smiles among their fans. This is a team that won the World Series when Woodrow Wilson was President and apparently didn't like it, because they didn't do it again until George W. Bush was halfway through his reign. Until 2004, Red Sox fans who stopped watching when their team was losing stopped watching a lot.
But they won in 2004, and again in 2007, and as the payroll climbed, they became a good bet to make the playoffs on a basis more regular than almost any other team; they have taught today's Red Sox fans to embrace a different set of expectations. There is no room in those expectations for losing three out of four to the Rangers and three straight to Tampa Bay.
"I didn't watch last night, either," my mother was saying. "I went to the movies."
"See anything good?" I asked.
"Not very," she said. "So I left in the middle and came back here and turned on the Red Sox. I should have stayed at the movie."
Some years ago, a writer who had been following the Red Sox for a long time said of them that they were the only team ever to be mathematically eliminated while they were in first place. They are not in first place now, and they may not be again this season, but my guess is that they will limp into the playoffs via the wildcard, which will encourage my mother to begin watching again.
Whether or not this would be a good thing, I cannot say.

Program Information
Much has changed over the years when it comes to diesel technology, but you can get the most up-to-date instruction by choosing Iowa Western's Diesel Technology program. This program focuses on all phases of the diesel industry, including engines, transmissions, drive axles, electrical systems, and auxiliary systems. The result for successful candidates is an Associate of Applied Science degree.
In addition to important classroom instruction, students in this two-year program complete internships – most of which are paid. This will give potential employers an opportunity to see you perform in real-world environments. Many graduates are then hired by those same employers.
Students typically spend twice as much time in our labs as they do in lecture. That way, they get the important one-on-one instruction along with hands-on experience. Also unique to this program is the ability to participate on a part-time basis, a plus if you're looking for flexibility.
Students who complete this AAS degree will have earned a Diesel Mechanics diploma by completion.
Job Outlook
1,273 Jobs (2020

What will you do
The Diesel Technology program is designed to place students into the workforce upon completion of this two-year degree. This program takes a more in-depth approach by studying more specific engine designs and procedures, and the repair of those engines, including CAT, Cummins, Detroit, Mercedes, and others. Transmissions and rear axle operation and repair are also reviewed in detail. Students will have the opportunity to explore diesel-related fields through two required internships.

The magazine sent surveys to 1,500 respondents, split basically down the middle between PM subscribers and contractors who had attended an I=B=R seminar in the past year.
Regardless of actual attendance, almost 100% of respondents recognized the "I=B=R Schools" name for hydronic heating education. Likewise, a strong majority indicated that the I=B=R designation would influence their likelihood of attending an I=B=R course. Knowing that the Hydronics Institute Division of the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association developed the I=B=R Schools also got high marks in influencing decisions to attend a course.
The survey indicated that control selection and boiler sizing; wiring; and zoning were popular topics. The months of February, March, April and May were the best months to attend. A two-day course - which is how long each I=B=R School lasts - were the ideal length of time. Weekends and nights were not popular times to attend.
Here are the dates and locations for I=B=R Schools in March and April. To register, go to www.bnpmedia.com/conferences or call 888-530-6714:
- March 1-2, College Park, Md.
- March 3-4, Alexandria, Va.
- March 8-9, Philadelphia
- March 10-11, Edison, N.J.
- March 15-16, Bridgeport, Ct.
- March 17-18, Springfield, Mass.
- April 5-6, Grand Rapids, Mich.
- April 7-8, Saginaw, Mich.
- April 19-20, Utica, N.Y.
- April 21-22, Buffalo, N.Y.
In related news, contractor Dennis Sommers, Scaran Heating & Cooling in Staten Island, N.Y., won a free registration to an I=B=R School. Sommers name was picked at random from those who responded to the survey.

Formula 2 articles archive
Formula 2 is considered the foremost single-seater feeder series to Formula 1.
F2 has existed in three different guises over the years. Until 1984 the championship was an open series for manufacturers of different chassis, engines and tyres. However that championship was phased out and replaced by Formula 3000.
F2 was later revived as a one-make series between 2009. However the series failed to attain the prominence of GP2, which had replaced F3000 and raced almost exclusively on the F1 support bill. The new F2 lasted just four seasons.
In 2016 Liberty Media took over the running of F1 and purchased GP2, then rebranded it as Formula 2 in 2017.

Reasoning heavy. That is how one can describe today's NLU Delhi paper. Student reaction has been mixed – and this is a paper in which cut off will be difficult to guess. It was not as lengthy as last years, but most students faced a time crunch. All over difficulty level was rationalised compared to last year, clearly NLU-D is experimenting in search of a better mix of questions that test reasoning ability and aptitude of students.
I would advise those who wrote the test today to treat it as a warm up for CLAT. A bigger arena awaits you next week. If your exam went perfect, as you planned, nothing like it. Identify the mistakes and deficiency that led you astray otherwise. Know what needs to be done, do it, and feel confident about CLAT.
Here is a quick analysis of the paper (and my views on CLAT in comparison to this paper).
- Legal Aptitude: As I had warned in the CLAT booster workshop, Legal Aptitude contained only legal reasoning. Some legal GK was found in the 20 marks GK section, but many were surprised by the relative disappearance of legal GK. If you listened to me, you would not be.
I am Not expecting CLAT to be full of legal GK either. GK is crucial given the CLAT structure, but the bedrock is reasoning. Legal reasoning should make a comeback, and be prepared to see new types of legal reasoning questions. The usual Principle-Fact-Options pattern is strongly expected, but a 2008 style introduction of new type reasoning is not out of the question. This has three important implications:
a. you must not panic if you see new types of questions in legal aptitude. It's just like another logical reasoning section, based on legal principles. For instance, in 2008 some simple syllogism questions with legal principles were asked in Legal Aptitude. A lot of people didn't even attempt these questions in fear, but those who solved them in the cool head found it very easy and scored 10 out of 10.
b. Go easy on legal GK. Stop reading cases and mugging up sections from statutes. I freak out when a student asks me what cases should they read. You are not expected to read cases. At best, know a little about the famous constitutional law cases like Keshavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala, Maneka Gandhi v Union of India etc – but then all you need to know is a one line description, not details. More important is to know some very basic information about the cases which have been in the news. Like the Best Bakery Case. Or a very famous case like Shah Bano or Unnikrishnan (introduced the right to education). Even this is too much to expect from a law aspirant – but many times these questions have come under GK so it makes sense to prepare a little for these cases. But from now on, stop trying to mug up more and more legal GK. You have done the basics, you are covered.
c. Focus on reasoning. Try to give more time to the reasoning section in the paper. If you are unclear about basics of legal reasoning, go back and read your BRMs/modules etc. You must not miss legal reasoning questions; with a little effort you can score full marks in that section. More reasoning also means lengthier paper, so watch out. Time management will be a huge factor again, unlike last year.
GK: GK section was simple. Relatively easy questions, mostly from current affairs. Typical questions like who won the Nobel peace prize, current president of South Africa didn't leave many people stumped. I expect a similar GK portion for CLAT as well. If you have been preparing for GK systematically, reading newspaper and magazines regularly, there is little you need to worry about. You should focus on books like Pearson at this stage. If you have not started with it, or clueless about which part to start with check this out for a solution.
English: relatively easy. Reading comprehension had 5 questions. Reading speed could have made a difference, even generally in the paper, as a lot of reading and data assimilation was required. One of the more scoring sections in the paper.
- Logical reasoning: this was the most important part in the paper. Clearly those who will do well here will make the final cut. However, this would be a little uncertain section as it was full of critical reasoning questions. Many interesting variations of the same were put into the paper. Even the brightest students generally cannot be very sure about critical reasoning questions, and I think this is going to bring the cut-off down a bit.
- Maths: Easy. Those who managed to keep their head cool in face of the time crunch did well in these 10 questions as well. I expect an easy maths section in CLAT too, those who are scared of maths, please solve the easy questions at least. And don't leave Maths or logical reasoning for the end! That's a perfect recipe for disaster.
EXPECTED CUT- OFF: With easy English, Maths and GK section, the Cutoff should definitely be higher than last year's which was around 80. However due to the presence of a lot of critical reasoning and tricky legal reasoning questions, I don't see the cut off going much above 100. If you have scored in excess of 105, you can feel confident.

Beets Health Benefits: Health food or hype?
This year there seems to be a stream of never-ending recipe options for roasting, toasting, and mashing beets into your Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. But are beets worth finding their way into your everyday menu?
Everyone is trying to get beets onto the table one way or another because of the health benefits they offer. However, what can you expect to gain by adding beets to your diet and what category do beets fall under anyway? Are they more of a potato? Or, are they closer to a carrot? Let's explore the health benefits of beets!
What are Beetroots?
Beetroots are the taproot portion of the beet plants. They are also referred to as beets, golden beets, garden beets, table beets or red beets in different areas worldwide. Beets are a popularly known root vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals and plant compounds that have medicinal properties. These roots are not only delicious but really boost your health in several ways.
Bonus: Beets are also naturally sweet and so are a great choice when you are craving something healthy and tasty.
Benefits of Healthy Beetroots You Should be Aware of
Weight Loss
Because beets are good for detoxing due to high levels of antioxidants, they will assist you in losing weight. This is because beets do not have fat and are an excellent producer of dietary fiber, i.e. insoluble and soluble fiber. Both insoluble and soluble fibers assist in eliminating fat in the body by maintaining a suitable bowel function as well as by lowering cholesterol levels.
Beetroots are also rich in magnesium; a mineral that functions in the body by supporting optimal muscle and nerve performance to keep you moving and well. This indicates that the magnesium from beets could be helpful with weight loss purpose also. [1]
Lowering Blood Pressure
Beets have a high level of dietary nitrate content and this can help produce heart-healthy benefits. This converts to NO (nitric oxide) in the body and nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels. This can help lower blood pressure and produce heart-healthy effects. [4]
One easy way to get this effect is to take beet juice regularly and juicing is an easy and fast way to include it in a smoothie or broth.
Improving Digestion
If you experience poor digestion, it is a good idea to add beetroots to your dietary routine. Beets can excite the nerves in your intestines thereby enhancing the ability of the body to digest food. A glass of beet juice contains approximately 3.5 grams of fiber. That makes beets an excellent source of fiber.
The fiber in beets can bypass digestion and travel down to your colon. It can eventually feed the friendly gut bacteria that are associated with helping correct poor digestion. This also helps to keep you regular which makes going to the bathroom easier and more enjoyable.
Boosting Strength
Beetroot juice is considered an excellent drink for workout enthusiasts. The juice has the capacity of boosting endurance during your workouts and therefore you should drink it prior to hitting the gym. This can help you work out longer without getting tired. [2]
Boosts Brain Power
Drinking beet juice regularly improves blood flow to the frontal lobe of your brain. This additional blood flow increases brain functions that control focus, attention to detail, and organization. This is especially crucial for people as they age and brain function begins to slow down. [3]
Bottom Line
Beets are a beneficial food to add to your diet if you are looking to lose weight, lower blood pressure, improve your digestion, or gain an edge during your workouts. They have many health benefits and are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Not only are they healthy for you, but they make a tasty addition to any meal. There are so many different ways for you to consume beets that you will never get bored!
Healthy Beet Smoothie
Looking for a tasty way to get beets into your diet on a daily basis? Try a beet smoothie! They are perfect, whether you are looking for a snack, something you can take on the go, or a fun, colorful treat.
Try this sweet treat that will give your day, and your health, a positive boost!
- 1 small beet (chopped)
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup frozen pineapple
- ¼ cup coconut yogurt
- ½ cup almond milk
Blend together until smooth. Enjoy!

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. How does that one rank in the emotional world here?
TAYLOR FRITZ: You know, that was just a really tough one. It obviously sucks to compete so hard and come back the way I did in the second-set tiebreak and saved the match points just to double fault it away.
You know, it sucks, and it's probably the biggest match I have played in my career as far as, you know, make a quarterfinals of a Masters, points, and all that.
So, you know, it's really tough to lose that match.
Q. How do you re-gather yourself after having a set point in the second set and then losing that? Your emotions have to be up and down, I assume. How do you handle that?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Yeah. It was tough to manage, because I feel like when I broke him that game before, I started to get a good feel from the baseline of — started kind of getting in on the baseline. I felt like the first set he was just dominating me from the back and the only way I could really win points was just hitting a big shot or hitting a big serve.
I felt pretty good going into that game to serve it out. That's when it started getting just insanely windy. I just didn't manage the conditions well, that game. After I got broken that game, I just had to make sure I didn't just fully collapse and get broken again.
I told myself to make sure I got it to a tiebreaker. And then we got it to the tiebreaker and, you know, after the first four points of just missing, I decided, you know, with the wind I couldn't try to — I couldn't keep trying to hit through the wind. It's too tough to time the ball and hit big shots when it's just going everywhere.
So I kind of changed my strategy for the conditions. Just made more balls, and, you know, that's how I was able to turn it around.
Q. Despite the disappointment, you must be pretty proud of your effort in this tournament, no?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Yeah, it definitely hurts right now because I'm obviously thinking of how I could have gone farther and, I mean, really, how close I was to going further, you know. It hurts even more knowing that I had that Love-30 and the break point to go and serve for the match.
It stings a lot, but you do have to take away positives, you know. I made the round of 16 for the first time, and I think I'm playing very good tennis.
This year for me has been very consistent. I have had a lot of strong results. And I'm off to a really good start for the year, and I think I can build on this and make this more of a regular thing, you know. I feel confident that I'm not playing, like, out of my mind or anything like I was doing when I was 18 to produce good results.
I feel like I'm playing within myself and having these results. So I feel a lot more confident in backing up and becoming more consistent on tour with this kind of stuff, a lot more confident than I was doing it when I was younger.
Q. Are you trying to improve more technically or mentally? Do you think that the next step for you, is it more about improving your shots, improving your tennis, or more about becoming more consistent and taking the opportunities that come to you?
TAYLOR FRITZ: It's both. You know, you really have to, in tennis, you really have to take your opportunities. Today was an opportunity for me to get 180 points instead of 90 points, to make quarterfinals of a Masters instead of round of 16.
Like I said, there is positives to take out, but it stings not going that extra bit and doing what you think you could have. It's tough, you know. Every week everybody is a loser except one person. (Smiling).
I think moving forward I'm looking to improve a lot of my shots, you know. I think when you improve your shots you get stronger mentally just because you have more confidence in what you're doing on the court and you know you can hit certain shots in certain moments. So I think it's about getting everything better so I can trust myself in those moments, you know.
Today it was windy and it was a very fine line between do I just push the ball and make it, or do I go for a little extra but I'm not sure if I can make it because just it's windy and I could miss it.
So I think I'm going to be working on a little bit of everything. I'm always picking up little mental things and things that have helped me on the court through Paul, but definitely think I need to just improve everything, obviously.
Q. When you're not playing, do you go out and watch some of the matches, some of the guys like Federer and Rafa, and see how they handle those tough situations? Do you learn from them?
TAYLOR FRITZ: Not really, to be honest. I feel like the way those guys do things in the big moments, like, that's the stuff that just can't be taught. I feel like just being clutch in big moments and handling those big moments the best, just how they handle it, I just think that's something that can't really be taught. I think that's what makes a lot of champions champions.
I think you can learn from how they, like, how their body language is and how they approach situations. But actually doing it, I just think is something that it just can't be taught.
And usually I feel pretty good, as well, in those moments where I can come up with something and play my best tennis when it matters most.
Q. So Alexander Zverev is said by many to be the leading prospect among the very young players. He loses a tough five-setter to Chung in Melbourne, and then Federer goes up to him and says, Hey, relax, don't be so hard on yourself. I didn't reach a quarter until I was 22. Talk about the process of gaining confidence, of some day getting in that place where you are clutch in the big moments.
TAYLOR FRITZ: It's experience, of course. You know, it's definitely experience, getting in those moments more. I think the more you're in those moments, the more comfortable you will get.
But I think it's a fine line between, you know, telling yourself, you know, I'm young, I have time. Then that can also obviously be a bad thing because you'll just keep telling yourself, I have time, I have time, I have time, and then eventually you really won't. I think that we're all striving to be the best we can, so we will get upset when we lose matches even though we do have time.
I think that, yeah, Zverev is leading the group. He's had some amazing results, and he's an incredible player. He has nothing to be upset about, even though obviously he wants to push even farther, do even better, like we all do.
Q. What makes Coric such a tough player?
TAYLOR FRITZ: He's an extremely good competitor. You know, on the court he fights harder than almost anybody. He really doesn't give you anything on the court. He doesn't give you much. You have to earn a lot of points. You don't get too many freebies. Today I probably got more than normal just because of how windy it was on the court. It was tough to make balls.
But, you know, he really doesn't give you anything, and he fights for every point.
Q. Another young player, an American, is Frances. You have almost exactly the same ranking. Could you just talk a minute about his game, what makes him tough and unique?
TAYLOR FRITZ: I mean, what makes him unique is his personality, of course. He's really an electric guy. You know, you always know when he's in the room, because he's just laughing and talking, cracking jokes with everybody. I think that's what makes him so unique.
But, you know, on the court he's got a dangerous game. You know, he can do a bit of everything. He's fast, he's aggressive, has a big forehand, has a big serve. He's got everything.
So it's exciting to see that I guess him and I are moving up the rankings and doing well. So I think that's definitely something we will see a lot of between me and Frances competing against each other, even though I guess you'd call a rivalry, but I don't really think so because we're good friends.

Solihull College & University Centre have partnered with Solihull's Ramada hotel to offer young people the chance to complete their apprenticeships.
Students Kenan Butler and Brandon Phillips have been working at the Ramada hotel for the past 6 months as chefs and are now halfway through their apprenticeships. Before starting the apprenticeship both Kenan and Brandon had tried different courses with Brandon even beginning an apprenticeship in accounting, yet they both felt they were yet to find a career which they really enjoyed.
Both Kenan and Brandon have a passion for cooking and wanted to make a career from it; Brandon commented: "I did a GCSE in Food Preparation and Nutrition at school and really enjoyed it so I had some experience already."
The apprentices began their chef apprenticeship through Solihull College at the Ramada hotel which they are both thoroughly enjoying and have already gained experience working in a busy kitchen environment with some evenings preparing for over 300 covers. As well as gaining the skills needed for the industry both Kenan and Brendon are gaining recognisable qualifications and being paid for their time at work. Both students are receiving great support from Solihull College in completing their apprenticeships as well as being able to learn from head chef at Ramada, Andrew Findon who says "It's nice to have them here as we are so busy and extra hands are always helpful. They are both learning well and quickly."
With just under 6 months of their apprenticeships left Kenan and Brandon are starting to look to their future. Kenan comments "I want to carry on working in the industry and one day hope to own my own business."
Both Kenan and Brandon said they would recommend the apprenticeship to other students as it is a great way to learn, earn and gain that invaluable experience.
Solihull College & University Centre is now working with the Ramada hotel to offer more apprenticeships, including apprenticeships in reception staff, front of house and housekeeping.
For more information on the apprenticeship opportunities please visit the apprenticeship page or call 0121 678 7000.

Despite all the hype about cloud storage, your computer still needs a hard drive. Hard drives are where all your data is locally stored, from your OS to the files you're working on or that game you play daily. Depending on what you use your computer for, you'll need a hard drive that's powerful enough to meet your needs.
Essentially, you have three choices. SATA, SSD, and NVMe. To choose the best option, you need to know what the pros and cons of each drive are and how they perform.
How To Choose The Right Hard Drive: SATA, SSD Or NVMe?
SATA Drives
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) drives have been around since 2003. They took over from their predecessor PATA and are still the default hard drive in almost all desktop computers.
SATA drives range from 500 GB to 16 TB. They use tiny needles to write to a disk with an interface rate of 6 Gb/s and a throughput of 600 MB/s. They're the cheapest option of the three types of drives and are ideal if you need plenty of storage at a lower cost.
However, if you deal with sensitive data or need high reads or writes, they're not a great option. As the data is physically written to a disk, it can become defragmented. This slows the PC down and can cause it to crash. Regular defragging can prevent this, but it's time-consuming.
Because of their moving parts, SATA drives are vulnerable to impact or shock, so they don't work well on laptops. Recovering data from a SATA drive can be difficult or even impossible, and it's a costly exercise.
SSD Hard Drives
SSD (Solid State Drive) has been around since the 1990s, but they've only gone mainstream in the last decade. These drives have no moving parts. Instead, all the data is stored on non-volatile flash memory, almost like a large USB drive.
SSD's don't have a needle that writes the data, so they're far faster than SATA drives. The speed will differ depending on the manufacturer. But even a low-performing SSD will equal or surpass a SATA drive.
SSD drives range from 120 GB to 2 TB, and their price tag is significantly higher than their SATA counterparts. However, they are far more durable and a popular choice as external drives. This makes them more versatile and a good choice for anyone who needs external storage space.
NVMe Drives
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives were first released in 2013 and provide the ultimate in speed. A type of SSD, an NVMe attaches to the PCI Express (PCIe) slot on the mainboard (where you attach a graphics card). This allows them to reach speeds of 32 Gb/s, with a throughput of 3.9 GB/s.
If you use your computer for hi-res video editing or gaming—both of which require a lot of disk throughout—an NVMe is ideally suited.
While incredibly speedy, these hard drives have a few downsides. For starters, they are the most expensive of the three, and they're only suitable for desktop computers. Plus, most BIOS won't support booting from these drives, so using them as secondary drives isn't feasible.
Making Your Selection
When deciding which hard drive will work best for you, you'll need to weigh up your technical requirements, budget, and whether you need a drive that's laptop compatible. It's also important to bear in mind that you can upgrade as your PC can handle more than one drive.
Once you've weighed all this up, you can go ahead and make your purchase. Just remember to always back up your data when installing a new drive, and to run regular backups thereafter.

Of Mice (rats) and Men
From Charles Darwin's The Descent Of Man:
It is impossible to catch many [animals] in the same place and in the same kind of trap, or to destroy them by the same kind of poison; yet it is improbable that all should have partaken of the poison, and impossible that all should have been caught in the trap. They must learn caution by seeing their brethren caught or poisoned.
From Kevin Laland's Darwin's Unfinished Symphony: How Culture Made the Human Mind:
The rats' success in part reflects a long history of dependence on humanity, a relationship in which we have proven an unwelcoming and brutal partner. Yet, in spite of centuries of traps, poisons and fumigations, no pied piper has ever managed to eradicate this most perseverant of pests. The reason, as Darwin intuited, is that rats cunningly avoid all agents of extermination; and they do so through copying [each other].
Darwin suspected that a long history of trapping mammalian pests would select for their "sagacity, caution and cunning," and certainly rats possess these qualities. Decades of control attempts failed in part because rats react to any change in their habitat with extreme apprehension. For several years I studied rat behavior. I observed how any novel food or new object is slowly and stealthily stalked, the body crouched so low that the belly is almost on the floor, with the rat ready to turn tail at the slightest provocation. If nothing bad happens the curious rat will eventually take some food, but feeding will be highly sporadic at first, with only very small amounts of any new food taken.
In the 1950s, the advent of Warfarin, a slow acting poison, proved a successful innovation in the battle to control rats, because the pests felt unwell sufficiently long after consuming the food to not develop bait shyness.
Laland goes on to describe the extremely complex manner in which rats communicate what they have eaten: "After a rat feeds, other rats will attend to food-related odor cues on its breath, as well as the scent of food on its fur and whiskers, allowing them to identify the foods that others have eaten."
In Charles Darwin's last great treatise, The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals, Darwin hints that emotions are the medium of communication in many animals and particularly in man. Now this article on mice appeared in the April 3rd issue of Science:
In his 1872 book, Charles Darwin established the basis for studying the expression of emotions. He described emotions as innate, universal, and endowed with communicative function. Darwin also proposed that facial expressions are the richest source of information about emotions for humans and animals. Numerous studies tried to identify and correlate facial expressions with emotions in nonhuman primates, horses, sheep, and dogs (2, 3). Several of the methods to recognize emotions using facial expression in rodents are limited to a single emotion, require a long process of manual scoring, and are biased by human factors or difficult to reproduce (4, 5). On page 89 of this issue, Dolensek et al. (6) used machine learning to objectively investigate stereotyped facial expressions and their neuronal correlates in mice in response to emotionally salient stimuli.Science Vol. 368, Issue 6486, pp. 33-34
2 Comments on "Of Mice (rats) and Men"
I know very little about rats, but a lot about cats. That's because my wife grew up with cats, and as a condition of marriage, I had to agree (sort of) to become a cat person. Cats have a remarkable set of emotions and ways of dealing with humans, always figuring whether someone is trustworthy and safe, or not. When we adopted her, she hid beneath our bed a lot and came out only to eat and use the litter box. Gradually she explored the house and developed a separate trust relationship with my wife and with me. I see an evolutionary continuum and climbing scale from rats to cats.

"I do about an hour to an hour and a half [in the gym] a day," says Sistine Stallone, along with sister Sophia Stallone, when speaking EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife. The daughters of Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin dished on their family's workout routine following the launch of their new podcast, Unwaxed. It should come as a surprise that Sistine, 22, Sophia, 24, and sister Scarlet Stallone, 18, have followed in their parents' fitness footsteps. "We are all big workout fanatics," said Sistine, "so all five of us will be in the gym at 10:30 in the morning. It's a lot of fun. Most of the time, we're taking a lot of dance breaks, but it's really fun.
"I put a lot of emphasis on wellness and fitness," says Sophia. "We all eat very healthily. We always work out. It's not because you're trying to get to look a certain [way], it's because we just love cooking and we love working out together. We find it very fun, and we feel our best when we do it. Especially now in quarantine, we have the time for it."
It doesn't hurt that these girls have a fitness icon as a father. Even at 74-years-old, Sly remains as ripped as ever, and he's been a huge asset in helping Sophia and Sistine stay in shape. "Definitely," Sistine tells HollywoodLife. "My dad had us doing deadlifts and throwing shotput at around 10 years old, so it's definitely something that has been embedded in us."
Though, sometimes, Sly's fatherly help doesn't always land, especially when he tries to recast Rocky with his daughters. "When we're in the gym, he always tries to get us to throw a punch," adds Sistine. "It always ruins the flow of my work out. Like, 'come on, dad. Later, later.' But another thing now is he's very into yoga. And he's always trying to get me to do it with him so he can prove how hard it is and that I can't keep up with him. I'm like, 'Okay, Dad. You're right. You can hold the downward dog pose longer than me.'"
The thought of John Rambo doing a vinyasa sequence might leave some minds blown, but Sophia adds that her dad does have some great pointers when it comes to working out. Actually, his biggest piece of advice right now is to not put so much stress on your body and really relax," she tells HollywoodLife. "I feel like when you overwork out sometimes, it can really get too hard on your body. So, if you're working out you want to take time to also go on long walks, to do yoga. It's important [to relax], and my dad always reminds us to not go too hard 24/7.
To get in shape, it takes more than having Rocky Balboa as your personal trainer. As Sophia said, the Stallones like to eat healthily, and the sisters shared their diet with HollywoodLife. "Normally in the morning, I will have a small snack before I work out," says Sistine, "and then my little sister [Scarlet] makes the most incredible oatmeal. So, she'll make us either oatmeal or a protein smoothie. Then, for lunch, I will have a veggie wrap, and we also love to bake but will bake a lot of healthy alternatives."
"So we'll eat dessert for lunch except it's healthy," said Sophia. "A banana bread-type thing but made extra healthy," says Sistine, adding, "And for dinner will have protein and vegetables and of course, after dinner, we'll have to have our ice cream." "We eat three meals a day, plus dessert," chimes in Sophia. "That's partly why we work out so hard — so that we can do that."
Sophia and Scarlet's trainer, Kevin Mejia, also shared some of the sisters' routines with HollywoodLife. They conquer some of the toughest exercises in the gym with ease. We focus sessions on consistent toning and core work. They love the bands, but never shy away from weights," he told us EXCLUSIVELY. Sly should be proud.
Listen to more of Sophia and Sistine Stallone's adventures on the new PodcastOne podcast, Unwaxed, available wherever you find on-demand audio.

Safety precautions in mosques
On the other hand, a meeting presided by Balochistan Chief Minister (CM) Jam Kamal Khan Aliyani decided to fully implement Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in all 590 mosques conducting Taraveeh prayers during the holy month of Ramazan in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus. "The provincial government has thoroughly reviewed implementation of the lockdown and safety arrangements for citizens during Ramazan."
Commissioner Quetta Division Usman Ali Khan briefed the CM regarding his separate meetings with the local traders' community and religious scholars, adding that the religious scholars have assured to follow the 20 points SOPs during Friday and Taraveeh prayers in Quetta.
"Mosques and prayer leaders violating Covid-19 safety precautions would be warned in the first phase while the business community has been directed to preclude lockdown following the rapid virus transmission in Quetta and other cities of Balochistan," the Commissioner said.

There you are, sitting all alone with no one to talk to a week after you have broken up with your significant other. The time and effort that you have spent with your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend is down the drain and you are now faced with the real world again. What will you do?
You have two options, either suck it up and continue on with your life, or attempt to keep that person in your life. Nevertheless, neither of these paths are easily accomplished.
Breakups are some of the hardest situations to deal with. Not only are you single again, but you now have to fill the empty void with different people and unimportant objects that only provide you with temporary happiness so that your ex will be the last person in your mind.
Whether they are just your acquaintance or your best friend, you can never seem to keep that person in your life. There can be constant frustration between you and your ex because of the recurring thought that there could be something more between you two.
There is no possible way you can keep your former significant other in your life without having complications such as jealousy and regret. Either you feel as if you want the person back, or you are frustrated that you let yourself lose someone that you still have feelings strong feelings for.
My recent separation with my ex-girlfriend was rough. Not only did we split, but we split in a way where everyone knew in a matter of seconds on every single social network. The last few days of our relationship were filled with tears, anger, and regrets. Although our separation was not on even ground, we attempted to be in each other's lives by being close friends. Sadly, it did not turn out the way I wanted it to. Just like before, it resulted in arguing.
Though you might want that person in your life more than anything in the world, all the crying, arguing, and misguided feelings are not worth your precious time and effort. You will be better off with forgetting about your ex until the time is right for you two to be friends again. This way, the pain will only last for a brief period of time.
There are the select few that can maintain a friendship with their ex-partners without going absolutely bonkers, but in all honesty, most teens are too emotionally unstable to keep their feelings and thoughts to themselves. In my personal opinion, the easiest way to be happy after a relationship is to forgive and forget, then move on with your life. Sure, I might sound heartless right now, but just have a little faith and trust in yourself. Leave them behind and set your priorities straight. You only have one life to live, so why spend it crying over some person that is now part of your past?

Cementerio de La Almudena
One of the city's most important cemetery with architectural and sculptural monuments.
La Almudena Cemetery is the main cemetery in the city, created in 1884 under the name «The Necropolis of the East". Its surface area, which covers more than 120 hectares, makes it the largest cemetery in Madrid and one of the largest in Western Europe.
The current cemetery may be divided into three parts: the Civil Cemetery, the Hebrew Cemetery and the old Cemetery of Our Lady of the Almudena which is where the section known as the "Epidemics Cemetery" is to be found. It houses the remains of prominent political figures, intellectuals and artists.
The entrance portico is in the Modernist style with Neo-Mudéjar influences, with brick, granite and limestone being used for the columns. Numerous pantheons, mausoleums, chapels and monuments of artistic interest abound within its interior, some of which date as far back as the end of the 19th century. These include sculptural and architectural ensembles of such diverse styles as Neo-Gothic, Neo-Romanesque, Modernism or Eclecticism.

Regardless of what date the calendar says, I am proud to drink coffee from my absolute favorite mug, which depicts none other than The Grinch himself!
I'm such a Grinch fan. One major reason is because it reaches back to my childhood when I would watch the original Grinch on TV. You know, back when we couldn't DVR it or fast forward through commercials! It makes me happy to recall the anticipation of Christmas morning and the role iconic holiday shows had in that process.
When I reflect on the story of The Grinch I love how he was redeemed in the end. He was given the opportunity to start over and accept that things could be different. But, the other element I love is how the Whos down in Whoville remained unshakable in the face of his nasty attempts to steal their Christmas joy. Their resiliency to every mean-spirited attempt to ruin Christmas remained steadfast and culminated in their beautiful song sung around the Christmas tree.
How The Grinch Stole Our Mail
This year, our family was struck by a Grinch. Instead of a green monster slinking down our chimney and stealing even crumbs too small for a mouse, someone drove around several area neighborhoods and swiped mail and packages -including our family's mail. A couple days later, the Sheriff's Office returned the envelopes and cards they were able to recover – one of which was missing the $5.00 bills a relative had sent our kids. Seeing our gutted mail was simply sad. There are several cards we will never get back and warm wishes we will not receive.
I've spent time reflecting on how someone could do something that hurts the magic of Christmas for families all throughout our cozy little town. In the end, I find myself in a place of pity rather than anger. I truly feel bad for this Grinch. The mail-theft experience was disappointing, disheartening and frustrating but in the end, it didn't tarnish our Christmas joy. If anything, it forced us to pause and reflect with gratitude on all that Christmas means.
This year, we are all fighting Grinches who are trying to steal our Christmas. It may not be our mail that the Grinch has come to take. Your Grinch is quite possibly named Covid-19. It may also be loss, loneliness, isolation. It could be severe disappointment about 2020 goals that were left unachieved. So many Grinches are circulating this Christmas season. And yet, we all have an opportunity.
Joy in Jesus
Like the Whos down in Whoville we can join together and allow the joy of Christmas to wash over us. We can celebrate that our joy is not found in adorable Christmas cards, gifts delivered in our mailbox or any of the traditions we hold so dear. Yes, those things are wonderful and a great reflection of the spirit of the season. But, our Joy is rooted in Jesus. The beauty of the manger and the coming of Jesus is untouchable. Covid, societal unrest, fear, anxiety and even the Grinch himself can not steal the shine that was welcomed into our world that first Christmas day.
Our family is drawing near and savoring the simple and beautiful moments that Christmas offers this year. We are relishing in the blessings that come from above and remind us of how deeply we are loved by God – so loved that we received the ultimate gift of Jesus.
Yes, it looks different. Yes, we miss the parties and parades. But, make no mistake, we will not miss Jesus this Christmas season.
So how about it – will you refuse to allow the Grinches within your life to steal your Christmas shine?
"The first Christmas was pretty simple. It's okay if yours is too."
— Amy Weatherly

My husband and I booked and paid for a villa for a week in Corfu, and invited our four daughters and families to join us at our expense.
The villa cost £2,391. We paid £96 for insurance with Get Going. The villa company asked for a list of guests who were likely to be staying.
Unfortunately in May last year my husband, aged 89, was diagnosed with bowel cancer and needed an urgent operation, forcing us to cancel.
A reader has been left out of pocket after bring forced to cancel a villa holiday in Corfu after her husband was diagnosed with cancer
The villa company returned £717, leaving £1,674 outstanding, which we claimed on our travel insurance.
Having seen the list of people who were likely to be staying at the villa, the travel insurer has only paid £478, and says the rest of the party must claim on their insurance.
We paid for the holiday, so how can they claim without this being fraudulent, especially as not all of the named people were able to come?
E. and R. C., Gwynedd
This style of group booking where mum and dad pay for the villa in order to lure their children on a holiday is common — Mrs H and I regularly do it.
I always make sure our youngsters have their own cover for medical emergencies, but is this necessary for booking costs?
Martyn James, of free complaints website Resolver, says: 'Looking at contracts and cancellations, it's true that individual claims must be made for each person on a group holiday if they are insured separately, but in my view this is largely irrelevant in this case.
'The consumer is not claiming for a non-related person from the group, and it doesn't really matter if two people are staying or 200.
'They paid the full sum for the villa and they are claiming for their costs back. I can't see how they can be given a reduced pay-out under these circumstances.'
The Financial Ombudsman Service takes a similar tack, though there are no published decisions on its database.
A spokesman says: 'Consumers should check to see what their insurance policy says in the cancellation section. Usually it says that the provider will pay the insured consumer's costs. If the insured party paid for the whole holiday, then their costs are for the whole holiday and not just a proportion of it.'
In a nutshell, if you pay for a holiday for your family and your insurance policy says your holiday costs will be paid for in the event of cancellation, then the firm should cough up the whole amount. If, on the other hand, the costs have been split between several people then each should claim separately.
But the key with family holidays is to look carefully at the policy's wording and, if you are unsure, confirm with the insurer that it will cover all of your costs before buying the policy.
Travel Claims Facilities, part of Travel Insurance Facilities, handled this claim.
It paid out a total of £1,012.26 (after a £200 excess) for the flights and a proportion of the villa hire (£478), which it had split among the seven listed as staying there.
TCF says the claim was assessed correctly in line with its policy wording. However, it has decided to reimburse the other £1,196 as a goodwill gesture.
It will also be looking at how it can amend the policy wording to 'improve the clarity of this type of claim and prevent any future confusion'.
You have YOUR say
Every week Money Mail receives hundreds of your letters and emails about our stories.
Here are some about our article exposing Santander's latest changes to its flagship 123 current account.
I was very disappointed to hear that Santander has reduced the interest rate on the 123 account to 1 per cent, when it was originally 3 per cent.
Perhaps it should rename it the Three-To-One account!
P. K., Salisbury.
So many 'bank accounts with benefits' are no good. They often need you to deposit a minimum amount each month or pay a fee to get discounts on things you wouldn't buy anyway.
C. S., Gloucester.
I have two 123 accounts, with £20,000 in each. I am going to close one of them, move most of my money into a good easy-access savings account and downgrade to 123 Lite.
Bye, bye Santander — it was nice while it lasted, but I'm off.
M. T., Buckinghamshire.
When Santander first introduced the 123 account, it will have gained millions of new customers who moved from other banks.
It's fair to assume millions will switch away from it now, myself included.
T. K., Prestwick.
Santander should stop paying celebrities to appear in adverts if it can't afford to pay customers a decent rate.
Stars such as Ant and Dec are already multi-millionaires. They don't need our interest as well.
G. N., Scotland.
My wife and I have three 123 accounts between us, with £20,000 in each. We will close two of them and keep £5,000 in the third.
I am going to put the remaining £55,000 into a savings account. The deal has changed, so we move on.
B. S., Surrey.
Most other banks only pay their current account customers interest on small balances.
Santander will still pay on up to £20,000, so it is worth checking to see whether there is much to gain by switching.
U. F., Nottingham.
We applied online for the marriage allowance in March last year, for each tax year from 2015/16 to the present.
This should have given us a refund and altered my husband's tax code. I phoned HMRC in June, only to be told that our application had not been received, even though we had a confirmation dated March 18.
I wrote to them, as requested, on June 16. On August 5, I received a letter confirming 'tax return amendment is to be actioned'.
On August 12, we received an acknowledgement of tax payments of £43.60 and £44.60 made by my husband.
On August 26, he received a demand for £43.60, and on September 10, a refund cheque for £623.65.
On September 17 and October 23 there were further demands for £43.60. We dread another brown envelope coming through the letterbox.
B. B., Southampton
The marriage allowance allows someone who is a non-taxpayer (a taxable income of less than £12,500 this tax year) to transfer up to £1,250 of their personal allowance to a spouse or civil partner who is a basic rate taxpayer.
This can reduce the couple's overall tax bill by up to £250 in the current tax year.
The recipient of the transferred allowance may have an income of up to £50,000 in most of the UK, but only up to £43,430 in Scotland. Claims can be backdated to April 5, 2015.
In your case HMRC admits it got the sums wrong. It has put things right and cancelled the incorrect demands.
A spokesman says: 'We are sorry your reader did not receive the high level of service they would expect from us.'
Incidentally, marriage allowance is different from the married couples' allowance, which can be claimed if one partner was born before April 6, 1935. Couples can't claim both of these allowances.
Straight to the point
I ordered a £300 integrated tumble dryer from Robert Dyas on November 13.
Its website said it was possible to have the old machine removed before installing the new one, but the manufacturer, Hoover, then told me this was not the case.
I have called both Robert Dyas and Hoover to cancel the order and get a refund, but I keep on getting passed between the two.
M. H., Bicester.
Robert Dyas says it refunded you on December 30. It adds that it can take longer to resolve a query when a third party is involved, so sent a voucher to apologise for the delay and any inconvenience caused.
My wife and I wanted to visit our son in the U.S. for Christmas. But when booking our trip on expedia.co.uk we accidentally paid twice after the screen froze halfway through.
Yet despite both bookings being for the same date and airline, Expedia will not refund me around £2,000.
J. S., Harrow.
After I contacted Expedia it asked the hotel and airline you had booked with for a refund.
The hotel swiftly reimbursed the extra £73 you paid and, after several weeks, the airline finally agreed to refund you the £1,731.
Expedia advises customers who are unsure if bookings have been confirmed to call 020 3788 0445 before trying again.
My ex-wife and I had a joint Everyday Saver account with Halifax which I decided to close. I asked for her name to be added to a new Reward account — but it is still only in mine. Why?
W. P., Coventry.
Halifax says you were told you and your ex-wife would need to visit a branch to add her.
As you have mobility problems, Halifax has arranged to visit you both at home.
I am trying to claim back £600 for two Thomas Cook holidays I was due to take, following the firm's collapse in September.
Both claims were supposed to be paid by the Civil Aviation Authority in early December but the money has not arrived.
A. T., by email.
The claims were paid on December 4 and December 20. It turns out that you were not checking the correct bank account.

Sometime around the middle of this week iTunes Sync passed the 20,000 download mark. Hurray! When I wrote this application just over 2 months ago, I did so because I wanted to use iTunes with my cheap-o MP3 player. When I posted iTunes Sync for others to download I had no idea there were as many people in the same situation as me. Well, it turns out there are, as iTunes Sync has been averaging over 340 downloads per day, with a steady stream of email and forum feedback to match. Thanks to everyone who has submitted bug reports, feedback, suggestions and to everyone who contributed to the tested MP3 player's list. You've all helped to make iTunes Sync what it is today!
I have posted a new version of Clipboard Text Scrubber. This is a quick bug fix release, to clear up a couple of small issues. Here's a rundown on the changes:
I recommend that anyone using an older version of Clipboard Text Scrubber update to the latest version today.
This is just a quick note to people that are waiting for help with iTunes Sync. I have received many, many emails looking for help and I am doing my best to answer each one, but there is currently a large backlog. Please be assured that you will receive a response as soon as possible.
A new version of Clipboard Text Scrubber has been released into the wild. v1.3.0 fixes an annoying bug that caused too many notifications to be shown, even when the clipboard hasn't been changed. Now, you should only receive a notification about the clipboard being scrubbed when it actually has done something. For example, copying text to the clipboard in the Notepad application will no longer cause a notification, but copying text from Microsoft Excel or Word will, because it really is being cleaned.
Check out Clipboard Text Scrubber today!
After over a month with no new release of Clipboard Text Scrubber I decided that last night and tonight I should focus on it, to clear up some outstanding issues. Here's a quick rundown on the wholesome goodness included in the 1.2.1 release:
Wow, looks and sounds good to me! Take a peek today.
Just a quick update about iTunes Sync and the planned localization support. I have had an overwhelming response to include a German interface option in the next release of iTunes Sync. Amongst this response I have had about 1 person per day volunteering to help translate the interface. Fantastic! I have had to start turning people away because I have enough people already to help with German, but if you're interested in a different language just drop me a line. You can be sure that I will try my best to get German support into the next release.
Thanks to everyone!
