![]() There was nothing this powerful available. In my experience, it is THE hardest text editor to learn, often requiring several months before the new user feels that they are starting to feel comfortable with the new tool.Įven as recently as a couple of years ago, this kind of time investment was worthwhile, if you were a programmer, who had to spend a lot of your day in front of the computer, juggling different graphical text editors who provide only half of the features set you need for any language. Vi/Vim is, of course, an extremely powerful text editor, which is infamously difficult to learn. We have higher standards, and things to get done, and that's why we'll be using MacVim. I'm sure your $DEITY will still love you. If you for some reason, need to have less features because due to some unseen yet crippling inability to teach your muscles to do something, which is a vim requirement, then by golly use something with an "easier learning curve". If you are are fearful, why, pay fear's price and fire up some 100 meg IDE and have it hold your hand and change your diapers. Of course, people program are not stupid, people who program on unix platforms are unafraid of complexity, or at least _were_ not stupid, and _were_ unafraid of complexity. Vim has a steep learning curve, like all things Unix. MacVim is gvim for os X, what an os X program should be like, combined with every optimization that code editing needs and thousands more that are "nice". Troll lurking under the bridge named /Applications. Vim on os X used to be like firefox, a thing from another place, a foul, alien and misshapen MacVim is an excellent version of gvim, easily the lushest and sexiest one i've ever seen. This is _the_ editor, unless you run emacs, and of course all those people, having internalized the concept of "false gods" have cheerily begun running textmate instead.Įnough about that. Well, exactly what I want are thousands of text specific features. ![]()

![]() Given their high prevalence, their profound impact on quality of life, and the range of effective treatments available, we encourage health care providers to screen all people with arthritis for both anxiety and depression.Ĭopyright © 2012 by the American College of Rheumatology. Only half of the respondents with anxiety and/or depression had sought help for their mental health condition in the past year.ĭespite the clinical focus on depression among people with arthritis, anxiety was almost twice as common as depression. Multivariable logistic regression modeling failed to identify a distinct profile of characteristics of those with anxiety and/or depression. Most (84%) of those with depression also had anxiety. Associations between correlates and each condition were estimated with prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals using logistic regression models.Īnxiety was more common than depression (31% and 18%, respectively) overall, one-third of respondents reported at least 1 of the 2 conditions. Prevalence was estimated for the sample overall and stratified by subgroups. Anxiety and depression were measured using separate and validated subscales of the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales. The study sample comprised US adults ages ≥ 45 years with doctor-diagnosed arthritis (n = 1,793) from the Arthritis Conditions Health Effects Survey (a cross-sectional, population-based, random-digit-dialed telephone interview survey). The study objective was to estimate the prevalence and correlates of anxiety and depression among US adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. The NWS is asking residents to be cautious if they are floating or swimming on rivers, which will be much colder than the air temperatures.There has been limited characterization of the burden of anxiety and depression, especially the former, among US adults with arthritis in the general population. With a higher amount of snowmelt, rivers are colder and running higher than they have in several years, Newman said, adding it’s important to wear a life jacket to prevent drowning in the case of cold water shock. The advisory notes that river temperatures in the 50s “can easily result in cold water shock that can kill in minutes.” “If they suddenly go into muscle shock and can’t move, it can be the difference between having their life saved or not.” “Having a life vest can seem like it’s overkill, but in reality with the way river temperatures are, it can save someone who seems perfectly healthy and capable of swimming,” Neuman said. It has already been a deadly year for water-related deaths in the area. This spring, four people died in rivers and lakes in the south Willamette Valley before search and rescue teams found their bodies. ![]() ![]() Those include two kayakers who died on the Long Tom River south of Monroe in late April, a canoer who was found in the Willamette River in Eugene in early May, and a 19-year-old whose body was recovered from Dexter Reservoir. The advisory asks that residents take extra precautions if they work or spend time outside, and to reschedule strenuous activities to the early morning or evening if possible. It also suggests taking frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments. Tips to stay safe Have a good plan before heading out Anyone overcome by heat should move to a cool and shaded location and in the case of heat stroke should call 911. State Search and Rescue coordinator Scott Lucas emphasized the need for people to be prepared and equipped before they head outdoors. ![]() "They might take an unmarked trail or get disoriented, and they could be lost for days.” “In the summer months, we find people who set out for a hike wearing flip flops and shorts and carrying no water," he said. Lucas stressed the importance of checking the basics like weather and road conditions, packing the proper gear, and confirming the destination is open before heading out. “Many of the trails and parks people are familiar with are closed from wildfire or flood damages or from recent weather including high mountain snow,” he said. People need to respect these closures and stay out.” “Others haven’t been maintained for the last two years due to the pandemic. ![]() He added that every search and rescue mission takes away resources from the next rescue. “Know before you go may seem like obvious advice, but it makes a big difference when it comes to staying safe," he said. With more than half of the state under extreme drought conditions, the Oregon Department of Forestry said the number one precaution recreationists can take this summer is to follow posted fire restrictions.

On March 9, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that “from the evidence so far, the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in all areas, including areas with hot and humid weather” 5. However, in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, there is still scant evidence in support of this hypothesis 4. Rather, the higher temperatures and more intense UV radiation in summer are likely to support public health measures to contain SARS-CoV-2. ![]() However, our results do not imply that the disease will vanish during summer or will not affect countries close to the equator. According to our results, countries are expected to see a decline in new COVID-19 cases during summer and a resurgence during winter. Since the change in Earth’s angle towards the sun between equinox and solstice is about 23.5°, one could expect a difference in cases per million inhabitants of 64% between two hypothetical countries whose climates differ to a similar extent as two adjacent seasons. Our results imply that a country, which is located 1000 km closer to the equator, could expect 33% fewer cases per million inhabitants. A one-degree increase in absolute latitude is associated with a 4.3% increase in cases per million inhabitants as of Janu(p value < 0.001). ![]() We regress the logarithm of confirmed COVID-19 cases per million inhabitants in a country against the country’s distance from the equator, controlling for key confounding factors: air travel, vehicle concentration, urbanization, COVID-19 testing intensity, cell phone usage, income, old-age dependency ratio, and health expenditure. Scientists disagree how to interpret this observation because the relationship between COVID-19 and climatic conditions may be confounded by many factors. Visual inspection of world maps shows that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is less prevalent in countries closer to the equator, where heat and humidity tend to be higher. ![]() ![]() ![]() The humour is addictively wry, reeling you in gag by subtle gag.
