It's still cloudy and foggy in the mornings, and sometimes in the afternoon. I think it's because of where we're living. It seems to always be a little chilly, cloudy. and foggy here but down by the wharf area, it's clear and sunny (if a bit hazy). I'm still figuring things out, but when this stuff rolls in in the middle of the afternoon, I just want to clear out and run for the hills where it's sunny.
So, it was on our list to see the Old Santa Barbara Mission and we decided to bike over there – biking is a great way to get around Santa Barbara. It's pretty safe because there are lots of bike lanes on the streets and bikes are everywhere, which means drivers are more aware of us. Plus, we avoid all the parking hassles.
According to Google maps, it looks like we biked a little over 10 miles round trip. On the way, however, we got a little off track and ended up in some beautiful areas with stone streets and gorgeous homes, so there was a bit more (and my thighs are feeling it!). Lots of hills, both up and down.
In front of the mission is a wide lawn surrounded by trees and rose beds. The eucalyptus and jasmine is amazing here. When you're walking or biking or driving along and hit a patch of it, it's intoxicating!
The eucalyptus trees are also massive by the mission. I put my bike by the biggest one for effect.
We toured all around the outbuildings, which are ruins. We ran into a friendly guy – everyone is friendly here and wow are they laid back – who said he was sketching (he was) an amazing angle on the ruins of one of the buildings if I'd like to come see.
I think he was right. I like this one too (from inside the ruins).
This is the reservoir that used to be the only water source for the mission (see the mission in the background).
Next, we rode down to the mission, and I caught this angle of the side wall of the mission and a gate. I love this picture.
It's hard to get used to succulents that look like alien creatures – HUGE alien creatures.
They're huge here folks – tree sized! bigger than you and all your friends. And they grow in all shapes and sizes.
We didn't go in the mission or take the tour – we were sweaty from the ride and it would not be honorable. So, we'll go back and tour the inside another time.
One thing on the outside – in front of the mission – gave me pause, however. It was this.
Just the other day, I was cursing and stomping my way through another couple of loads of laundry. The quarters are actually from another country and not quarters at all but look just like quarters until you try to stick them into the washing machine which also regularly rejects perfectly good American quarters too. That, combined with carrying the damned laundry what seems like half a block (it's not) Santa Clause-style by wrapping it all up in a sheet and throwing it over my shoulder because I don't have or want to buy another laundry basket because I actually own several but they're all in a truck in Colorado and I'm cranky and pissed.
However, after reading the sign above, I probably should quit complaining. At least I have a machine to actually DO the washing (when I can get the damn thing to work).
In case you're curious, and I know you are, this is what a lavanderia looks like these days.
The sloping sides are where the soap and pounding were applied, and then I guess everything was tossed into the center, which held water back then. Wow, it seems like a lot more work than all the cursing and stomping and carrying and folding we're doing these days, but of course those Indian women (come on, be honest, we all know the guys weren't helping with the laundry back then) could have been cursing and stomping, and they certainly were carrying and folding. They just also had to do that hard part that we have machines for now.
In front of the mission is a fountain and in the fountain were flowering water plants (notice the coins lying on the leaves).
I have to say, I live this picture too.
Then, it was biking all the way back down to the beach. We stopped for a margarita and some guacamole at a nice restaurant that we'll have to visit again soon when we're not on our bikes – the food looked yummy.
Then, we rode out onto Stearn's Wharf just to gawk at the views.
Again with the haze in the background. Must be all the moisture in the air? My hair is a complete frizz-bomb. I'm working on that and not showing you pictures until I figure that part out.

Interview with a Wiki Ninja, MVP, and Moderator under VB.NET & More – Karen Payne
Welcome to another round of Interview with a Wiki Ninja! Did you know we've done over 100+ of these? Well, that's what happens when you do it for years.
It's my pleasure to introduce you to someone who is no newcomer to the community (so hopefully you already know her). She's an MVP, she has already written 16 Wiki articles (wow!)...
Some of her profile stats:
Some of Karen's example Wiki articles:
Now let's dig into the interview...
Who are you, where are you, and what do you do? What are your specialty technologies?
Karen Payne, resides in Oregon USA and is a Microsoft MVP. Karen has a passion for providing high quality customer solutions and teaching other developers.
For the past 22 years Karen was employed by Oregon department of Revenue working on desktop and web solutions using many development languages with .NET at the forefront for personal and corporate income tax, property tax and cadastral maps divisions. When Karen first started at Department of Revenue she worked on five of the top enterprise solutions which were virtually not maintained for several years. In the years following Karen worked on every enterprise solution at the Department of Revenue using various programming languages which included C, Borland Delphi, Nantucket Clipper, VB-6, VB.NET and C# along with all the common web languages. In recent years Karen specialized in SPA (Single Page Applications) working with SQL-Server Entity Framework sometimes half-stack, other times full stack. Karen also was one of the principle architect of a generic team library and has written B2C and Windows services.
In January of 2018 Karen was offered a rotational position with Oregon department of employment which becomes a permanent position June 2018. This can about from a three month stay at employment department to assist in a mission critical solution which was heading for failure and I turn the tables.
At the department of employment Karen's duties are writing and maintaining C# and Cold fusion solutions along with writing services for C# and Cold Fusion to work together with mainframes and Oracle databases. Prior to moving to Employment, I had no Cold Fusion experience yet was up to speed in one month and ended up being a mentor for a third-party framework.
Main technologies presently, SPA (Single Page Applications) enterprise and public facing web solutions, Windows services and Cold Fusion MVC public facing web applications.
In Karen's out of the office time is partially spent driving a highly modified 2016 Mazda Miata and has been teaching various forms of personal protection for over twenty years with awards in a prestigious worldwide martial arts organization for teaching mythologies.
What are your big projects right now?
Currently working on several projects
- WPF/C# MVC solution which is the main internal tool for Employment department auditors to audit businesses to ensure they are following the law in regard to paying into the system for those currently are employed with the company so that if they become unemployed they have benefits.
- NET/C# employer tool for filing tax information of employees.
- Teaching TDD (test driven development)
- Mentoring several Cold fusion developers to work with C#
- Teaching Cold Fusion Framework 1 to current Cold Fusion developers
- C# plug-in for Cold Fusion to mainframe service
- Cold Fusion mobile solution which provides the ability for people to file for unemployment.
In what other sites and communities do you contribute your technical knowledge?
- Teach/mentor developers at Oregon department of Revenue and Oregon Department of Employment in Azure B2C and C#.
- Forum moderator for Microsoft developer network for C#, VB.NET, Data controls and binding.
- Daily contributor on Microsoft developer network
- Microsoft Developer Network samples with 146 code samples presently.
- Forum moderator for VBForums
- StackOverflow contributor.
Do you have any tips for new Wiki authors?
Having years of experience writing code samples for Microsoft Developer's Network taught me a few things which turn into the following tips.
- Ask yourself these questions, if you feel good about your answers this is a start.
- Who is your audience and why do they need what you are presenting?
- You have verified your article addresses a topic that over many years there is no good all-encompassing ready to run code sample or the article addresses new technologies where there are spare to no good examples presently.
- Has some else written on the same topic and if so what does your article provide what other articles don't provide?
- Is the programming language relevant today?
- Are you an expert in the topic (if not best be prepared to answer questions on your topic)?
- Write the article in a word processor such as Microsoft Word and take your time composing the article. Drop in code snippets into the document and notes to where they were in the Visual Studio solution.
- Your code should be fully tested so there are no issues for those who download your sample code. Then be prepared to fix things when something goes wrong because there are always things that you never considered when writing the article.
- When web based test on multiple browsers.
- When desktop based run on the current OS and at least one version back on the OS.
- Utilize version control, what I've learned is when attempts are made to break your code as per the last bullet you may get to a point where it's impossible to get back to a working version. I've been doing this for many years.
- Before posting, let the article and code base "rest" which means walk away, for say an hour to clear your head. Come back, review everything fresh as if you were the reader of this article and not the writer, does it all make sense? If not spend time correcting anything which is unclear.
- When posting an article select the HTML tab, copy the contents into notepad or notepad ++ as a backup in the event the submission fails.
On what Wiki articles do you spend most of your time?
I tend to spend more time on articles like Excel operations with Open XML, Automation and OleDb which has many variable conditions along with from my time on the web there are really no one article that lays down a decent foundation for the basics for working with Excel in Visual Studio. This article forms the basis for building solutions in developer's projects. Currently I'm sitting on over a dozen articles/code samples where they are all over 80 (or 100) percent (done and will be released. How does this play into this question? Because I'm a stickler on details plus in the middle of an article when answering question on a forum a question prompts me to consider writing an article or code sample. The truth of the matter is most time is spent up front preparation. I've gotten to the point where an idea pops into my head and several hours later it's ready for publishing when the topic is one that I know is needed by developers at large.
What are your favorite Wiki articles you've contributed?
There are several, Different methods to display unit test in Visual Studio which is a platform for providing developers with the basics of writing unit test. Another one is .NET: Defensive data programming (part 1) as there are countless developers who look for simply solutions without considering what happens when things don't go as planned which leads back to unit testing.
What does success look like for TechNet Wiki?
To be honest I'm not sure I can answer this question as for my article there is no way to know how many times someone has engaged with one of my articles. What is known, each article I've written would not have been published if I didn't see an audience for the article.
What could we do differently on TechNet Wiki?
One idea is to have a link for TechNet Wiki in the footer of MSDN forums under "Learning resources".
Thank you, Karen for such a detailed resume! It's truly an honor to have you contributing content with us!
Everyone, please join me in thanking Karen Payne for his contributions to the community!
Join the world! Join TechNet Wiki.

The necessity of a marketing strategy is now almost universally accepted – but do you actually know what doing this effectively entails? For example, did you know that if you document your marketing strategy then you're 538% more likely to see successful results? And if you're setting goals within that strategy then you're 429% more likely to achieve success than without defined objectives? These wild figures (which come from real research) show that there is a huge advantage to getting to grips with your marketing and becoming more effective at strategy. But how do you know which approach to take? We've looked at marketing tips from some of the most successful entrepreneurs and CEOs on the planet and collated them to provide some inspiration for sound strategy creation and mapping this year.
Customer-centric strategies
John J. Legere of T-Mobile has proven to be one of the most high profile champions of a true customer-centric marketing strategy. Today, "customer-centric" is an overused buzz term in marketing literature but how many businesses really put this into practice? Legere took his inspiration from the T-Mobile call centres, "nobody calls to say: 'I love you.' They call when they're so frustrated. And I heard the way that they were taking care of them. And it was a big part of me thinking that if I could get the whole company to behave that way and care about that customer so much, that we really could be different." With that approach he reorganised to put the customer at the centre of marketing (and operations) at the business. The results? In 2011, T-Mobile made a loss of $4.3 billion. In 2016, it had become a profit of $3.8 billion.
Build in "personality"
Generic marketing strategies are easy to come by but marketing that uses the unique features of your business is always going to be the most successful. So, when you're mapping out the strategy for 2018 look at what gives your business "personality" and tailor the strategy around this. Michael Dubin was the founder of the Dollar Shave Club, which he launched on a shoestring with just a couple of thousand. The huge success his business achieved has been attributed in part to the way that Dubin infused the brand with personality – in this case, his own – because that's what made it unique. In the end it was such a distinctive brand, with such distinctive marketing, that it attracted Unilever who bought it for $1 billion in 2016.
Never stop thinking about the product (or service)
It's easy to get swept up in marketing ideas and inspirations and forget that at the heart of all this is the product that you're trying to sell. Does your marketing strategy gel with what you're offering? Does your marketing ring true and authentic to your brand values? It's important to avoid moving too far away from what you're actually trying to do or your marketing will lose all its authenticity – which is where its power lies. Steve Jobs' obsessions at Apple tend to be a pretty controversial topic but no one can say he ever deviated far from the product. The absolute insistence on product quality, a consistent aesthetic and unique brand themes – reflected consistently across the marketing and every single range –played a big role in Apple's success.
Take time to take care of the details
Marketing strategy is particularly important if the business could be doing better – if that's the case for you then it might be an idea to go back to basics and look at the marketing assets that you have to make your strategy work. The aesthetics of the branding are an integral part of your brand image and should support and inspire the development of strategy. If they don't, it might be time to rethink colours, logos – or even the name. Richard Branson often tells the tale of how he chose the name Virgin while hanging out with friends, "one of the girls said: 'We're all virgins. Why don't you call it Virgin?'" The name worked for every industry the company went into, because it was new to each. Plus, as co-founder Nik Powell says, it was "very risqué and an immediate attention-grabber … It was just a great name."
These are just some of the marketing tips that some of the most successful people in business use to inform strategy and decision-making. From marketing assets such as logos, to developing content online and crafting a new website to drive your marketing goals, at Aquatint we can help you create a great foundation for your marketing strategy in 2018.#feartured

Centene (CNC - Free Report) is one of the largest managed care providers in the US, serving over 12 million people in 14 states.
In addition to being the largest Medicaid Managed Care Organization in the country, Centene is also the largest carrier on the Health Insurance Marketplace and a national leader in managed long-term services and supports.
Centene delivered another strong quarter and outlook on February 6 and analysts responded by raising 2018 full-year earnings estimates 21% from $5.86 to $7.09. The 2019 consensus also vaulted 23% from $6.63 to $8.17.
And this followed the solid company news just a few months ago. Here's what I wrote on December 19...
The company held its annual Investor Day on December 15 and several analysts came away increasingly bullish on the stock. Here's was the word from investment bank Piper Jaffray where their price target on CNC was boosted from $112 to $134...
Piper Jaffray analyst Sarah James raised her price target for Centene to $134 saying the company's investor day "did not disappoint with a material guidance boost." Despite rallying 68% year-to-date, Centene is still the best buying opportunity in the group with potential for earnings upside and multiple expansion "once the market moves past the worst case scenario on reform," James told investors in a research note.
James also sees large scale reform as unlikely and the impact of block grants, which she views as likely, as being a "significant positive" for Centene and managed Medicaid.
Guidance Raised Again on Anticipated Deal Closing
At the December event, Centene provided a 2018 outlook with adjusted EPS of $5.47 to $5.87, vs a Wall Street consensus $5.50 to $5.55. The company saw 2018 revenue of $60.0 to $60.8 billion, vs the consensus of $54.95 billion.
Management also provided an update on their recent proposed $3.75 billion acquisition of Fidelis Care which would give the company significant new exposure to the New York market. Since the deal had not yet closed, analysts had to speculate on the impact of new revenues and synergies.
More than three months later, the deal has still not closed. But it looks like the company update in February solidified those expanded views of new revenues and synergies and firmer estimate revisions have finally started to roll in anyway on high confidence the deal does get done. More details below.
Doubts About Fidelis Acquisition
On March 26, the New York Archdiocese threatened to terminate Centene's $3.75 billion acquisition of Fidelis, according to a story in Politico. Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York is willing to walk away from a $3.75B deal with the for-profit insurer Centene and continue operating Fidelis as a nonprofit insurer if Governor Andrew Cuomo does not back off his plan to capture most of the proceeds for the state, said the report.
In response, Centene analysts at BMO Capital issued a research update noting that weakness in CNC shares was a buying opportunity. According to financial news website TheFly.com, BMO Capital analyst Matthew Borsch said he would not overreact to a Politico report that Centene's pending acquisition of Fidelis health plan is in jeopardy due to a fight between the Archdiocese of New York and Governor Cuomo.
The dispute may impact the deal timing, but both parties have more to gain than lose and he suspects the deal is still substantially more likely than not to get done, Borsch tells investors. The analyst, who said he would be a buyer on any weakness, keeps an Outperform rating on Centene, which he identifies as his favorite name in Managed Care.
On April 2, Cantor Fitzgerald analysts reiterated their Buy rating and $125 price target on CNC shares.
And on April 4, Piper Jaffray analyst Sarah James updated her CNC model to reflect the slight delay in the closing of the Fidelis acquisition, which she estimated is only a $0.02 headwind to EPS for every month that the closing is delayed. She reiterated her $134 price target based on 16.2x her 2019E EPS of $8.25, which was raised from $8.02.
ACA Reform Concerns Subside
To be fair, some analysts and investors are still concerned about potential surprises from any changes to the current Affordable Care Act structure, which Centene benefits from in terms of predictable reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid.
But CNC shares have absorbed another quarter of those concerns and now the stock is rallying above $107 to new 9-week highs after finding strong support at $100.
Clearly, Centene is benefiting from secular demographic trends and this is why I have owned it since the inception of my Healthcare Innovators portfolio in April of last year. It exemplifies the first of my "4 Megatrends" of healthcare, namely an aging population, living longer and needing more advanced care.
Bottom line: Centene is not a medical or pharma stock with new discoveries around the corner. But it provides essential care to those who need it most and for this reason it will be a steady grower in a society pushing the upper norms of life expectancy.
Disclosure: I own CNC shares for the Zacks Healthcare Innovators portfolio.
Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.

If you're not
A) A woman or,
B) A human being
then you might not have cellulite.
But, chances are, you are both, therefor rending you with some amount of dimple or ripple. Some of us have more than others. Diet, genetics, and level of activity all play a part in the amount. For myself, I'm extremely active. I work out 6 days a week, eat clean, haven't drank or done drugs in 7 years, take probiotics and a lot of other supplements, drink pure aloe vera juice every morning (even on an empty stomach), sleep 7 hours on average a night, and more or less love my life. However, I still find that I have a fair amount of cellulite on the back of my legs.
I know that a majority of it, in my personal situation, is genetic. I also know that I create a lot of self perceived stress, and stress is the root of all evil in my life lol. I also know that I take too many stimulants, and have jacked up my central nervous system over the past several years.
I write this to remind you that a lot of us forget the simple fact, that most women have cellulite. Primarily due to the fact that most of us are not brave enough to post pictures of our 'realness' because we've been programmed to see it as repulsive, unsightly, and unattractive. So what most of us see, are images of 'perfectness' from every other female, besides ourselves. For example, here is a photo of me in the bathroom, from the side. Looks pretty amazing right? (lol) <little too much side boob, sorry. get over it->
But from the back with different lighting, it's a completely different story, isn't it?
These particular pictures were taken in August, 2015. For me to get from the above photo, to the below photo, took a lot of ridiculous, hard work. Work that no one should ever have to do (aka, compete in a physique show lol). I'm talking 45 minutes of fasted cardio every day, strict dieting, and aggressive weight training 5 days a week, for 4 months continuously.
Point being, this didn't last long. After a few months, the normal cellulite came back, despite the fact that I'm still, to this day, doing everything that I mentioned in the first paragraph. So….. sometimes, this can mess with my head because I merely forget that
A) I'm a woman, and
B) I'm a human being.
Consider this your friendly service announcement.

Apprenticeships and trainees
The University's plan for apprenticeships forms an important part of our continued support of civic responsibilities and as a large regional employer we are keen to ensure that we are at the forefront of this rewarding initiative. As such there are multiple different streams of apprenticeships and trainees across the campus, including:
An ongoing embedded trainee scheme in the Faculty of Engineering,
An apprenticeship scheme at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), established in 2006, that has to date employed approximately 30 apprentices, with 13 currently in post.
An apprentice technician scheme in the Faculty of Science; seven apprentices have been engaged so far with the intention of creating apprenticeships year on year,
Business administration apprentices, for example two in post in Human Resources; we will be looking to expand this programme further, and
Several initiatives at the AMRC–Training Centre:
- approx. 140 apprenticeships in Engineering; many of these will be employed by local businesses and SMEs across the region
- Business Admin Apprenticeships: it is anticipated there will be 12 places.
- a forthcoming work placement scheme

"There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
A person can form in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, a person must pass from the Competitive to the Creative mind… – The Summary Of The Science Of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles.
My take on the above line is that I have to consciously decide not to feel acted upon or negatively influenced, before I visualize myself being in my "Happy Place," my "God Space."
Free from the speed and demands of the physical and allow my heart to beat in harmony with the comfort, peace and freedom of my "Good Place" of the spiritual.
Feeling all the tensed up muscles relax and breath…breathing in through the nose, breathing out through the mouth, slowly and repeatedly.
Understanding that the world is a cycle of events and that all things work out for the better, and increased improvement in the long run.
If that were not so the dinosaurs would still be existing with humankind as we know it only but an idea in the mind of the universe – thinking stuff.
Every thought is sent and impressed on this subconsciously driven Thinking Stuff and then leads me to a series of events that will bring whatever it is I have been thinking about in the form of situations I experience.
The metaphysical is converted into physical form by God.
The metaphysical is converted into physical form by the Universe.
The metaphysical is converted into physical form by Thinking Stuff – the Stuff that Things – and it does this either through the images that are already in my subconscious mind or by any of my constant imagined thought or feeling, thoughts and feeling which if repeated will become fused as those of my subconscious – the constant communicator to the Universe.
Thoughts or feelings I always think or feel while awake or asleep, consciously or subconciously.
This feelings or thoughts are sent to God every moment of my life – this is also known as a prayer, constant faithful thought – which God answers.
"Ask And It Shall Be Given You."
An emotion of lack when sent and impressed against the Universe comes back to me in physical form, i.e. An empty bread bin opened by a hungry mind believing to have been put in this situation due to the lack of money.
It's as if this (feeling of lack) materialized to confirm my thoughts and I then say "I KNEW IT."
And once I know something it becomes a belief, and what I believe becomes my reality.
I believe once I have cancer I will die, yet the same event can occur with someone else and they might believe they can cure it…and they do.
It is the beliefs, high or low self esteems, that we hold close to our chest that design the structure of our lives.
Resistance – struggle, hurt, pain – occurs when what we belief is different from what we see.
Like wanting to be healthy yet experiencing illness.
Which only stay with body simply because we cling on to it with the images of sickness we hold with emotion – the emotion of frustation or anger maybe – therefore impressing it on to God who just provides us with what we want, through the power we have to create.
In this case to our peril.
Another contributing factor is my mastermind.
Which I hope to explain futher in my coming posts.
The above is a compilation of what I have learned and continue to learn with Wallace D. Wattles and The Science Of Getting Rich for your instant download.

I use video games to manage my PTSD
A lady with trauma (PTSD) states playing computer game has actually assisted her handle her condition for more than a years.
Jennie Manley, 34, from Swansea, was presented to video gaming by her now-husband, when she was 19.
She stated: "Even when I wasn't playing, throughout daily life, it felt simpler."
Experts stated more research study was required on the restorative worth of video gaming, however there was "scope" for it to assist psychological health issue.
Ms Manley, a mother-of-two, had actually attempted to eliminate herself a number of times: "I was incredibly low, my stress and anxiety was through the roofing and I was extremely depressed."
But she stated her stress and anxiety and anxiety "appeared to reduce off a bit while I was playing".
She described that her stress and anxiety was "much easier to handle since I'm not in person with someone" when talking online.
" I feel I can be more myself, whereas I 'd usually be extremely worried. I'm much more unwinded and delighted when I'm online."
At one point, she would bet lots of hours every day, while holding down a task and being at university.
" Some individuals may see it as video gaming excessive, however I didn't head out drinking or go out with pals or head out going shopping all the time – that was my method of hanging out with individuals," Ms Manley stated.
" I do not believe it was excessive for me – I went to work every day, I went to uni.
" My partner gamed with me at the exact same time."
Could computer game be utilized to aid with psychological health problems?
" Having enjoyable is healthy emotionally in basic," stated Dr Eva Murzyn, of the University of Edinburgh.
She concentrates on how computer games can have an effect on human cognition and behaviour.
But Dr Murzyn included that proof of the self-driven restorative worth of video gaming was "unsure" and there was a requirement for more research study.
There was a small threat of dependency in video gaming however "that's the case for practically every case of self-medication", she described.
Dr Murzyn included that video escapism was something individuals would rely on if they "do not have access to correct treatment, resources and social assistance".
Dr Peter Etchells, a reader in psychology and science interactions at Bath Spa University, stated there was "very little research study on how individuals handle stress and anxiety conditions with escapism".
But he stated there was "absolutely" scope for video gaming to be utilized to ease and deal with psychological health signs.
Virtual truth has actually been utilized in a trial to deal with war veterans' PTSD and there is a computer game created to assist kids handle sorrow.
Dr Etchells stated that for individuals who are separated, video gaming right away discovers a "typical interest" – the video game that is being played.
He included that the threat of video gaming dependency was relative to everyone and there was no set variety of hours that might lead to it.
Prof Neil Greenberg, a scholastic psychiatrist from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, concurred there was scope "and certainly some proof" that video gaming might assist psychological illness.
But he included: "There is likewise some recommendation that some individuals with PTSD might discover that computer game worsen their signs.
" At present, it's unclear who might benefit and rather what sort of video games are most likely to make a favorable distinction and what magnitude a distinction playing video games may play."
The World Heath Organization upgraded its standards to consist of "video gaming condition" as a psychological health condition in 2018.
It specifies it as a pattern of compulsive or bothersome behaviour where the user prioritises video gaming over all other activities, regardless of the unfavorable repercussions it may have on their health and life.
Ms Manley credits video gaming with aiding with promos at work, where she went from barmaid to pot washer, to chef.
" I would not have even had the self-confidence to request the pot-washing task to work my method up if it wasn't for video gaming," Ms Manley stated.
She included that "there are real-life elements" of video gaming too, and stated she and her spouse made good friends through it who visit them face to face.
- Virtual truth PTSD treatment has 'huge effect'
- Why we require to discuss computer game
- ' My video gaming dependency stops me from having relationships'
Ms Manley, who is now a carer for her partner, decreased her video gaming hours when she had kids today plays along with them.

" The unfavorable sides [to video gaming] you see are mainly to do with kids," she described.
" Parents do not understand how to manage the kids that are video gaming.
" My kids video game, they are restricted to their times, we monitor what they're doing, they play the very same video games that I do however individuals on there know that it's kids playing, they suppress what they're stating."
If she had actually not discovered video gaming, Ms Manley stated she "would not be the individual I am today".
" I would most likely still be a shell of stress and anxiety, it's actually assisted my PTSD," she stated.
" Honestly I do not understand where I would lack it."

When I tell other parents that my children attend AOPS schools, they're usually familiar with the basics: the focus on faith; the caring teachers; the welcoming community.
But there's one piece of Catholic education that often seems to get overlooked: the value.
Private elementary schools in our area can cost well over $25,000 — per child, per year! Instead, my husband and I chose to send all three of our children to St. Philip Neri School. As parishioners, we pay under $4,000 in yearly tuition for each child.
For that price, we can rest easy knowing that our children are receiving top-notch educations from a Blue Ribbon School that's accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
That's why I like to say that AOPS schools offer the most bang for your buck. It's an investment that has allowed us to watch our children thrive from the rigorous academics and diversity of programs.
Our daughter will begin John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls' High School having already taken 8 years of Spanish classes. And our youngest son reinforces his schoolwork and social skills through the Science Explorers program.
Our family is especially excited for the Reading Olympics, where teams compete to answer questions about books they've read. We're also looking forward to the Peer Mediators program, where students volunteer to mediate conflicts among classmates.
The thing is, my husband and I believe that school should be more than a series of classes and assignments. For my children, it's where they've learned about competition, through the CYO program. It's where they've reinforced their faith, contributing as altar servers. And it's where they've learned to serve those in need, taking part in volunteer programs.
At the end of the day, school is where our children are building a foundation of knowledge and understanding that they'll use the rest of their lives.
And for me, that's a deal you just can't pass up.
Agnes lives in Philadelphia with her husband Joseph and their three children. Their sons attend St. Philip Neri School, and their daughter attends John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls' High School.

Roughly 10% of pretend NBA general managers lost their superstar first round pick last week, as Derrick Rose ruined another knee and possibly his career. For the Bulls, and Rose, the injury is a tragedy; we may never see the former MVP the same again. The good news, though, is that Rose's demise doesn't necessarily ruin your shot at pretend glory (or real money).
I drafted Rose first this season, 10th overall; I almost always take the best PG available with my first pick. I was pretty happy with this pick, best case scenario — Rose avoids injury and quickly reverts to MVP caliber play. Naturally, however, he played all of 3 weeks before shredding his meniscus — the worst case scenario. Rose owners now face weekly match up problems because of his absence.
Nevertheless, I'm oddly at ease with Rose's fate, at least from a fantasy perspective. First of all, he wasn't playing very well — he didn't even last long enough to knock the rust off. Frankly, I'd rather lose him now and move on instead of dealing with a star who is constantly tweaking his knees. Chances are, owners can find numbers similar to what Rose was posting on waivers anyway.
Ultimately ex-Rosers will fall into one of two categories: the injury immune — those winning despite Rose; and the injury averse — those losing because of him. Members of the latter group may want consider scrapping their current plan and starting anew, these are managers who had a weak draft and are more dependent on their superstars as a result. But before rebuilding anything, let's breakdown the concept of injury immunity, and apply it to the rebuild.
Injury Immunity
Derrick Rose had been the lowest ranked player on my roster all season, yet my record stands at 20-6 through week 4. I'm still quite confident in my team without Rose.
Some keys for developing an injury immune roster:
- Make the most of every draft pick, especially in the later rounds. By the end of the draft, I'm looking exclusively for upside: any undervalued, high ceiling player that could be a lotto ticket. Obviously each selection involves risk, low cost – high upside players are an effective way to capitalize on opportunities while simultaneously minimizing opportunity costs. Compare the late round picks of 2 teams in my league, as an example.
Team A: 10) Manu Ginobili, 11) Gerald Wallace, 12) Avery Bradley, 13) Jared Dudley
Team B:10) Spencer Hawes, 11) Jarrett Jack, 12) Moe Harkless, 13) Isaiah Thomas
Team A is injury averse; this retirement community of a fantasy team lacks upside and would struggle if they lost a star. Guys like Manu will provide reliable, but less lucrative production, which is fine until your first pick goes down. Team B, on the other hand, is injury immune; the loss of a stud hurts less because they hit pay dirt with Hoss and Isaiah.
- Build a balanced lineup that's competitive in every category, a balanced roster effectively hedges injury risks. Managers often overlook the importance of balance, and get too caught up in punting some categories and locking up others. My goal is not to overpower my opponents, but to capitalize on their weaknesses; and to do this you've got to excel in every category.
- Compiling a well-balanced fantasy team can be accomplished in a number of ways. While some managers seek stat sheet stuffers at every position, I prefer specialized assets. I like a roster full of two types of specialists: reb/blk guys and ast/stl/3 guys. (Scoring is also a requirement for all my players.) This strategy will render a team of mostly PG's and PF's.
Balance through specialization: an example
I lead my league in total assists and blocks this season (3-0 in both), these are the categories I dominate. Last week 10 of my 27 blocks (37%) came from Roy Hibbert — with this kind of output I can focus the rest of my bigs' talent on boards, points, and fg%. Likewise, 67 of my 179 (37%) assists came from only John Wall and Jeff Teague. I prefer to lock up passing and defensive stats first, as they occur at a lower volume and are harder to acquire later in the season.
I rank 4th in my league in total rebounding and 3's (3-0 in both), I'm good enough here that I should win most weeks. Having already locked up blocks, I filled out my front court with rebounding and scoring specialists:Boogie Cousins, Greg Monroe, Spencer Hoss, and Jordan Hill. Hibbert's defensive prowess is the key here. I also applied this approach to steals and 3 point specialists at guard.
Despite punting and being dead last in FG% (1-2), I still managed to take this category last week. I had a large cushion in nearly every category and was able to sit my less efficient players without sacrificing needed production. A luxury exclusive to well-balanced rosters.
- Lastly, remember that fantasy basketball is a numbers game. Derrick Rose doesn't need replacement, only his production does. Honestly, finding that level of production probably isn't so difficult; good news if your team is injury immune.
Injury Aversion
On the other hand if your team was struggling with Rose, you're likely balls deep in panic mode now. Fortunately, it's still a young season and there's time to rebuild. Applying the aforementioned principles, this is how I would approach a rebuild.
- Determine your team's strengths and weaknesses, if you're strong enough to dominate a category build on that. Punt your weakest category and target the winnable ones.
- Target players who: 1) produce in multiple (targeted) categories, and/or 2) offer an uncommon advantage in a certain category. Target categories for type 1 include threes, points, and boards, whereas type 2 targets are steals and blocks (and sometimes threes).
For example, my waiver wire looks like this:
- Top FA by rebounds: Taj Gibson, John Henson, Caron Butler, Markieff Morris, Psycho T, and Andre Blatche
- Top FA by threes: Gerald Green, Caron Butler, Randy Foye, Patrick Beverley, and James Anderson
Caron Butler: 40fg%, 82ft%, 2.1 3ptm, 14.5pts, 5.9rbds, 1.1 stls
Gerald Green: 49%fg, 76%ft, 2.6 3ptm, 15.2pts, 3rbds, 0.6stls
James Anderson: 44%fg, 72%ft, 1.7 3ptm, 10.4pts, 3.8rbds, 2.1asts, 1.2 stls, 0.5blks
Patrick Beverley: 42%fg, 85%ft, 1.9 3ptm, 10pts, 3.8rbds, 1.2 stls
Andre Blatche: 48%fg, 64%ft, 0.1 3ptm, 9.9pts, 5.8rbds, 1.1stls
Markieff Morris: 50%fg, 77%ft, 0.4 3ptm, 11.9pts, 5.8rbds, 1.3stls
John Henson: 55%fg, 62%ft, 0 3ptm, 10.8pts, 6.1rbds, 1.2asts, 0.8stls, 1.9blks
Grouped together correctly, a few of these players could make a significant impact on any team's total output in a few target categories. Coordinating waiver moves properly allows under-performing teams to quickly improve on the margin; in this example 3's, rebounds, and steals are good targets for substantial improvement. Obviously don't do anything too drastic, but pursue your targets aggressively and don't be afraid to cut losses elsewhere. For managers who planned on leaning heavily on Rose, a roster overhaul focusing on balance, specialization, and upside is a good way to salvage the season.

Great post, locking up assists in the draft is crucial, consistent contributors are hard to come by throughout the season. Positionally, I've found it hard to find big men on the waiver wire this year. 3PT shooting G/SF are a dime a dozen, but a good PF/C is rarely available
Kevin, welcome to the community! My take on D. Rose is his career is NOT over, but the Bulls would be better served drafting another solid PG prospect as it looks as if Rose's days as a full-time PG could be numbered. I had my second thoughts on Rose this season before the draft, ended up passing on him, but instead ended up with Westbrook in the 4th round (I had drafted Durant as well).
My rule of thumb in basketball drafts is be strong at PG and PF, but also grab a top notch SF (James, George, Anthony, etc) EARLY. You need not necessarily take a stud PG in the 1st round, but if you can get a combo PG tandem of Teague, Jennings, MCW, Blake, Dragic, etc, you would be almost as good to go as someone who grabbed CP3, then wound up with a backup like Nelson or Chalmers and Cole. It's all about how you draft, and where you get certain players. More important than PG, however, is PF/C like Ramrod alluded to. PF is thinner than C this season but it is best to get a solid option at both if you can. Centers change opponents shots because they are so big and hard to shoot over. This leads to more transition points for that team and potentially a lower FG% for the opposing teams. These stats may not always show up in a fantasy score card, but it is part of the reason why the Bigs go so early in drafts. Downside to many centers, however, is FT%. If you can afford to punt FT% to win blocks and boards, by all means do it. Just do not draft a high FT% guy then draft Howard. You only shoot yourself in the foot that way.
Thanks, glad to be included in the community.
I usually try to corner the PG market, to make PGs more valuable; fantasy basketball is a zero-sum game. I drafted Rose, Wall, Teague, Nelson, Jack, and Isaiah this year. Here's how I roll, if your interested.
I am balls deep in panic mode because not only did I lose Rose last week I also lost Iggy and B Lopez as well. Then Tobias Harris came back and injured his ankle again that week. OUCH. FML
My waiver claim for M Gasol went through today. Lots to be thankful for today.
As if he was on the wire to begin with.

Study after study backs up the health benefits of the Mediterranean way of eating, so here's how to incorporate it into a British diet.
A typical Mediterranean diet includes foods such as fruit, vegetables, fish, healthy oil, wholegrains, pulses and herbs.
The news widely reported recently that a Mediterranean diet is the one to go for if you want to avoid heart attacks or stroke may seem somewhat like old hat news – after all, the Med diet has been promoted as being one of the most healthy ways to eat in the world for many years now – but the research behind it is novel in two ways.
Related: 10 healthy Mediterranean foods
First, the global study of over 15,000 people which was published in the European Heart Journal was carried out on people already suffering from heart disease, rather than on people looking for ways to help prevent heart disease.
And second, the researchers conclusion was this: 'Greater consumption of healthy foods may be more important for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease than avoidance of less healthy foods typical of Western diets.'
For what the researchers had found was that those studied could eat, in moderation, the types of foods we've long been told to avoid for good health – the biscuits, cakes, white bread, and fried foods that can be broadly classified as 'junk' – as long as they also ate a diet high in typical Mediterranean foods such as fruit, vegetables, fish, healthy oil, wholegrains, pulses and herbs – oh, and a bit of alcohol.
Related: The truth behind the scare stories about nine nutritious foods
I think that is excellent news. And it is more or less how I've been eating for years, and how I love to eat. I adore all the healthy Med-style foods and meals, but I can and will also indulge in crisps, cake, chocolate, a full English and a bit of steak. Not all the time, and not in great quantity, but just enough for me to feel slightly wicked, which suits me well.
Husband is also revelling in the news as last year he was hospitalised and then put on a variety of pills to help prevent him having a heart attack or stroke. We both also needed to lose a bit of weight and we've found that doing Mediterranean all week and then having a few treats of the British variety at the weekend has worked very well.
Related: Old-fashioned British superfoods
We find the Med diet couple with simple portion size control a great way to lose weight slowly and enjoyably and what could be better than that? Such a diet has also been found to help protect us against other illnesses and diseases such as diabetes, some cancers and inflammatory conditions so it's well worth giving it a try. And now summer is, supposedly, nearly here, this is a great time of year to give it a go.
If you would like to incorporate more Mediterranean-style foods into your meals and your life, and make the most of what they have to offer, here are some tips:
Make each plate of food as colourful as you can – a variety of vegetables/salad-stuff and/or fruit will achieve this. If the plate looks white you're not eating right!

Develop your taste for garlic, a classic Med ingredient. Crush the cloves and add them to soups, stews, salad dressings and sauces.
Try adding a variety of 'soft' fresh herbs to your salads – basil, coriander, mint, tarragon, chervil can all be torn or sliced and tossed into a leaf or mixed salad.

Make sure to get your oily fish at least 2-3 times a week. Salmon is fine but think about sardines, herrings, mackerel which are much used in the Med and very tasty (see the recipe below, it's delicious and versions are very popular both in Italy and Greece).
Related: 10 healthy reasons to eat more fish
Try cheese the Med way – use a strong one like Feta which so you don't need to use much, and simply sprinkle it on a salad or toss it with olive oil and vegetables.
Get healthy pulses such as borlotti or cannellini beans into your diet by adding them to vegetable soups and stews – ribollita from Italy is perhaps the healthiest and tastiest hearty soup ever invented! Or mash them with a bit of garlic, olive oil and lemon for a quick alternative to supermarket hummus.

Serve your Mediterranean vegetables eg tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, properly ripe and at room temperature for maximum flavour and goodness.
Serves 2
Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Stir the breadcrumbs in a little of the olive oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium high heat for a couple of minutes or until very lightly golden, set aside. Arrange the sardines (* butterflied is best so that they are flat as in the photo – you can buy them ready butterflied or a fishmonger will do it for you) in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the oil, the pine nuts, garlic, sultanas, parsley, lemon juice, pepper and salt then drizzle this mix over the sardines, lifting them a bit so that the mix gets underneath as well. Scatter the breadcrumbs on the top and bake for 15 minutes or until the fish are cooked through. Serve with a large mixed leaf and herb side salad.

Hi Everyone, Happy Holi :)
I thought of wishing you all today itself as I know you all will be busy celebrating holi tomorrow so no one would take my wishes then :-* As for now, I don't have any plans for how we will celebrate holi but we'll go on the terrace and celebrate there, only me, my younger brother and sister and we keep throwing water on everyone who comes by :devil: with all the colors (harsh colors) in it. And lastly some relatives comes to our home to celebrate holi in full swing so I have to keep my skin prepared.
Now what do I do for protecting my skin and hair, I come in my shorts on holi and a top of course :D and I apply a sunblock lotion all over my exposed parts and then I apply coconut oil so if anyone puts color on me, it doesn't get there permanent and comes off easily with the oil on my skin. I oily my hair with coconut oil but tomorrow I'll be oiling with some other oil which I'm currently using and will be up with a review on it soon. Now coming to my face, I wash my face in the morning as usual, apply a thick high SPF sunscreen as I have to be in the sun for 2-3 hours and after massaging the sunscreen, I apply some olive oil on my face after 5-10 minutes. This way, I know I'll be protected from those harsh colors if anyone does the mistake of putting on me, vaise to kisi ki himmat nahi jo mujhe color laga de ;) not even any of my family members, I become a horror movie's main role heroine like the villain types if anyone does so, so everyone usually stay away from me as they all know how much I love my skin and can't tolerate anything harsh on it :D but still I keep my skin prepared like said above coz if anyone does so, my skin does not react badly to colors and colors don't get in direct contact with my bare skin :D
As for the dishes, mom will be making so many oily things tomorrow but guess tomorrow I'll indulge in some oily things as I won't get any healthy food tomorrow so it's better to indulge then to stay hungry but mine would be separately fried in olive oil :D I'll have palak ki pakori (demanded my mom to make for me specially as I love them) and dahi bhalle tomorrow.
If you get color on your skin even after trying hard not to get it, I suggest you to massage coconut or olive oil on those areas very gently and not rubbing it harsh, wipe it off with a cotton ball and do this 2-3 times until you see the color coming off your skin, after that make a mixture of gram flour (besan), lemon juice and curd, massage this mixture in circular motion and leave it for 15 minutes, after that rinse it off with warm water (make sure the water is warm), pat dry your face and then rub a lemon juice cover on those areas, this should get half the color off. After rinsing your face, moisturize it using a moisturizer or use olive oil for heavy moisturization as skin becomes quite dry and dehydrated due to all the harsh colors.
So what are your plans? Have a safe and happy holi everyone! Enjoy it to the fullest but please keep your skin and hair protected as colors can be really dangerous!!

Researchers offer model for optimizing lip-reading
TEHRAN- Researchers in Amirkabir University of Technology have proposed a new method for automating lip-reading process to aid people with hearing difficulty.
The study investigates a model that can use hybrid visual features for optimizing lip-reading.
Lip reading, also known as speech-reading, is a technique of understanding speech by visually interpreting the movements of the lips, face and tongue when normal sound is not available.
Experiments over many years have revealed that speech intelligibility increases if visual facial information becomes available.
The research was carried out by Fatemeh Vakhshiteh with the supervision of professors Farshad Almasgan and Ahmad Nickabadi.
In an interview with ISNA, Vakhshiteh said using a variety of sources for extracting information substantially helps the lip-reading process.
According to Vakhshiteh, this model was inspired by the function of the brain because the human brain also processes several sources of information in production and reception of speech.
In this model, deep neural networks are used to make the recognition of lip-reading as well as phone recognition easier, she said.
"The neural networks were specially used for situations that audial and visual features must be processed simultaneously."
"This is especially helpful in noisy environments where the audial data produced by speakers might become less clear or incomprehensible."
"This would also help the people with speech difficulty because they can use their visual data to compensate for the interruption in the speech signal they receive," she added.
The research results demonstrated that the proposed method outperforms the conventional Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and competes well with the state-of-the-art visual speech recognition works.

By Seth Hawkins, Community Forester, Georgia Forestry Commission
We spend a lot of time sharing the benefits of trees, both tangible and inherent. More times than not, however, we are preaching to the choir of fellow tree advocates. Where we can make real progress is finding better ways to communicate those benefits to the average person who sees trees as just another part of the landscape. One powerful way to help people understand and appreciate everything trees do for us is to present those benefits in terms everyone relates to – money!
The suite of i-Tree Software can help summarize the benefits trees provide in real dollar values. This is an excellent communication tool and proof point for documenting often under appreciated ways our community forests work for us. The City of Winterville recently became a Tree City USA community, which truly was a community achievement. Two public hearings were held, both with well over 50 residents in attendance, during which residents, city council members and the mayor discussed ratifying a community tree ordinance. The members of the proposed tree board conducted an i-Tree Canopy survey of the city and came to the public hearings prepared with facts. They documented the city's tree canopy coverage of 58 percent, which provides the community with $190,460 in annual ecosystem services! When the benefits provided by the city's canopy were presented in dollar values, it helped convince many residents and council members that proactively managing the city's trees was a sound investment with an impressive return.
Those hearings and positive feedback from the community resulted in the city council ratifying a tree ordinance and joining the Tree City USA program. The City of Winterville now has an active tree board, a certified arborist on staff, and has hosted two successful community events centered around trees. A city tree inventory was also conducted for a new community tree management plan. This transformation for Winterville happened in less than two years, and a great deal of momentum gained was due to the commitment of several dedicated community members, equipped with knowledge of the city canopy's value; knowledge obtained through the free and easy-to-use i-Tree Canopy Program. Any municipal arborist or tree board member can learn to use the program and measure the same canopy benefit values for their community. To get started, all you need is a GIS shapefile of your city's boundaries and to follow the link below. For guidance, contact your Georgia Forestry Commission community forester.
If we can learn to better communicate all the hard work trees do for us, we can reach an audience that values dollars, and makes sense!

College Loans – Types
College Loans – Types
It is a reality in today's world that many college students have to take out college loans to pay for an education. Roughly 7 in 10 college graduates have some loans with the balance being over $37,000 according to student loan expert Mark Kantrowitz. Delinquencies and default rates on student loans are some of the highest for consumer debt. Student loans can be scary, but with proactive planning before attending college an affordable plan can be determined to reach your goals.
LoanMajor's calculators use the different types of student loans to help estimate how much debt a student will have after completing the degree. The student can then compare potential starting salaries based on major to see if the estimated student loan debt of attending a specific college will be affordable after graduation.
There are many different types of loans, each with pros and cons.
Stafford loans are either subsidized or unsubsidized and have low interest rates and origination fees. They are great college loans to use to pay for college.
Perkins loans are subsidized loans that are generally offered to those with significant financial need. They have a reasonable interest rate and no origination fees.
Plus loans are federal loans that are available to parents of dependent undergraduate students and students in graduate programs. They have a high origination fee and moderate interest rates.
Private loans are often the most expensive way to borrow for college. They are not issued by the federal government and have high interest rates. These should be used to pay for college after lower interest rate loans are taken advantage of.

The PDF Techniques Accessibility Summit's objective is to establish a broad-based understanding of how PDF files should be tagged for accessibilty. It's an opportunity to focus on establishing a common set of examples of accessible PDF content, and identify best-practice when tagging difficult cases.Refried PDF
My hospital emailed me a medical records release form as a PDF. They told me to print it, fill it, sign it, scan it and return it to the medical records department, in that order. In 2018? To get the form via email (i.e., electronically), yet be asked to print it? Did the last 20 years just… not mean anything! So I thought I'd be clever. I'd fill it first, THEN print it. Or better yet, never print it, but sign it anyhow, and return it along with a note making the case for improving their workflow. The story continues…Slides and video recordings of PDF Days Europe 2018
You missed the PDF Days Europe 2018? Never mind! Here you can find the slides and video recordings of all 32 stunning sessions!Using PDF/UA in accessibility checklists
PDF/UA, like PDF itself, is internally complex, but used correctly, actually makes things easier.PDF Association expands its board of directors
Catherine Andersz of PDFTron Systems, Alaine Behler of iText Software and Peter Wyatt, ISO Project Leader for ISO 32000 enrich the newly elected board of the PDF Association.
In most cases, when institutions look to understand what's expected from website designers in term of accessibility the answer is the same: WCAG 2.0, a standard developed under the auspices of the W3C.
Although rooted in core web technologies such as HTTP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, WCAG 2.0 (and its successor, WCAG 2.1) is written in a mostly technically-neutral fashion. In accordance with regulatory pressure to keep things as simple as possible, this web content accessibility specification has been generally applied to all manner of electronic media beyond web content.
Conspicuous among these is PDF.
WCAG 2.0 not only sets out normative language defining requirements for accessibility in web content, the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group that created WCAG specifications also created Techniques for applying these specifications in various types of content.
WAI clearly indicates that other techniques for determining conformance with WCAG 2.0 may be specified, and provides clear instructions on how to regard Techniques as "sufficient", "advisory" or otherwise. To model the idea of techniques for accessibility, and to provide a set of references for developers to consider when creating or assessing their own, WAI created Techniques for HTML, CSS, Flash, Silverlight, ARIA and PDF, as well as server-side scripting.
These formal PDF Techniques have been slightly tweaked over the ten or so years of their publication, but as of August 2018 still contained some significant limitations:
These concerns are about to be addressed.
Hosted by the PDF Association, this event is designed to bring experts in PDF accessibility together to introduce, debate and agree upon a wide variety of examples of properly-tagged and therefore accessible PDF files in order to establish a baseline understanding of what constitutes "semantically appropriate tags in a logical reading order", to quote PDF/UA-1, 7.1, paragraph 2.
The event will focus on identifying best-practice when tagging difficult or edge-cases in PDF-encoded content. Questions to be addressed will likely include:
The results of the summit's conclusions will be edited for publication by the PDF Association's PDF/UA Technical Working Group, part of the PDF/UA Competence Center. The target is a new Tagged PDF Implementation Guide focusing on tagging.
Once structured appropriately, this guide will be used as basis for a proposed replacement to the current set of PDF Techniques for WCAG 2.0, and as the default set of PDF Techniques for WCAG 2.1.
The PDF Techniques Accessibility Summit event page includes the registration form and other information specific to attending this event.

Ukraine is to sign a landmark shale gas deal worth more than $10 billion (£6.3bn) with oil and gas firm Shell.
The Dutch company is expected to give 31-60% of the extracted gas following an agreement approved by the Donetsk and Kharkiv regional administrators.
Oleh Proskuryakov, Environmental and Natural Resources Minister said the project has the potential of becoming the "largest investment in Ukrainian history". He said: "Shell's basic scenario would be investing more than $10 billion (£6.3bn), optimistic scenario – $50 billion (£31.5bn)."
He added the volume of gas extracted at the Yuzivske shale gas field, where Shell won the right to explore shale gas last May, could reach several billion cubic metres, going up to at least eight to 10 billion cubic metres by the end of the decade. The estimated gas field reserves in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions are two trillion cubic metres.
The Minister said the hydrocarbon extraction at the gas field could lead to lower gas prices as he believes the US managed to cut its gas prices due to the new technology for gas extraction from unconventional sources, also called fracking.
Ukraine is believed to have Europe's third largest shale gas reserves at 42 trillion cubic feet.

I want one too, but one thing that concerns me is this STAMINA mode, it might switch off background services unless the screen is on. That's likely going to be a problem. I see battery life as important but at the cost of missing out on background services. background services were designed to be just that. Yikes.
The Stamina mode is better thought out than that, you can exclude apps from it so they will still run in the background when it is on. Given that it looks as if the Stamina mode should only bring positives.
Is it the user/owner that chooses what aps are excluded ? I fear for services ( without obvious names) that call api's every 10 minutes etc. The user may not even be aware of the background functionality an app has, hence would not exclude it and then wonder why notifications arrive only when the screen is on. Time will tell. have you got your hands on one ?
Indeed time will tell.
I'm unlikely to get any substantial hands-on since I won't purchase this for myself and I can't see Sony sending me a review handset. By the way Sony, you should totally send me a review handset :)
(but only if you really back your handset to stand up to a completely honest inspection, I shill for nobody)
