Pediatric cancer patients are classified in one of three major groups: young children, tweens/early teens and teens/young adults, says Dr. Sender. Developmental issues and stages of the child’s growth, including in utero before birth, are considered. “We think of adult cancers as the consequences of living your life. In childhood, it really is more about developmentally what is going on. Sometimes the cause is unknown,” says Dr. Sender.
DO TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS HAVE UNIQUE ISSUES RELATED TO THEIR CANCER TREATMENT?
Adolescents and young adults into their late 30s who are being treated for cancer face a wide range of issues that need to be considered to help them cope. These issues include fertility preservation, the development of body image, career and education considerations, and dealing with an increased dependence on parents at a time when many in this age group strive to be more independent.
Dr. Leonard Sender is the medical director at the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children’s and director of clinical operations and program development at the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center at UC Irvine Medical Center. He also is a professor of medicine at UC Irvine. Dr. Sender completed his internship and residency in pediatrics at UC Irvine Medical Center and had a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. Dr. Sender has twice been named a “Top Doctor” by U.S. News & World Report. He serves as board chairman of the “Stupid Cancer” Foundation and is a founding member and chairman of SeventyK.org, an adolescent cancer advocacy organization.
In this segment of American Health Journal, Dr. Leonard Sender, Medical Director of Hyundai Cancer Insititute at CHOC Children’s, explains genomic cancer research and how identifying the specific medicines that work on a child’s disease is a challenge.
There’s never a good time for a cancer diagnosis, but the teen and young adult years can be an especially tough time for cancer patients. Adolescents and young adults into their 30s who are being treated for cancer face a wide range of issues special to their age group that need to be considered to help them cope. These issues include fertility preservation, the development of body image, career and education considerations, and dealing with an increased dependence on parents at a time when many in this age group strive to be more independent.

As we embark on the first phase of a process to rehabilitate Alameda Marina to a community that better meets the needs of all Alamedans, we are having conversations with tenants, neighbors, and others who currently use it, in order to better understand all of their needs.
Since 1950, Alameda Marina has served primarily as an industrial boating and marine craft maintenance and storage facility. Located along Alameda’s Northern Waterfront, between Clement Avenue and the Oakland/Alameda Estuary, this 43- acre parcel currently houses boat slips, dry storage and maintenance support services for boats and recreational vehicles, as well as some industrial and professional service-oriented small businesses.
As we explore opportunities to revitalize and restore Alameda Marina, our early work includes talking with our stakeholders about what they would like to see at a revitalized Alameda Marina.
We are just at the beginning of a long, collaborative process that ultimately will lead to a project application to the City of Alameda, which will initiate the environmental review.
Sign up to receive more information about Alameda Marina, including meeting notices, periodic news and other details about the project and its progress. | 2019-04-25T14:48:47 | https://alamedamarina.com/ |

EUR/USD: 4 Reasons Why The USD Is Not Stronger?
EUR-USD is trading around 1.1640, sticking to the well’known ranges and not going anywhere fast. However, there may be room to the downside.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch FX Strategy Research discusses the USD outlook, outlining some key reasons on why the greenback is not trading at stronger levels.
1“- We see a number of reasons. Although the US data has been strong, headline inflation remains low and wage growth is persistently weak.
2- The market expects a December Fed hike, but is still far from the dot plot for 2018 and 2019.
3- The strong consensus remains that the tax reform will be difficult to approve and in any case will be light on its macro and market impact.
4- The official sector has been consistently selling the USD since spring, primarily against EUR and JPY, according to our flows,” BofAML argues.
“… What happens next depends on the chances of US tax reform, in our view,” BofAML adds.
BofAML maintains a short EUR/USD* position targeting 1.15. | 2019-04-26T04:21:28 | https://www.forexcrunch.com/eurusd-4-reasons-usd-not-stronger-whats-next-bofaml/ |

Thousands of primary school aged children have been labelled as homophobic by their teachers in the past year, information released under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act has revealed.
The Manifesto Club requested the information after media reports last year of children’s permanent educational records including references to alleged homophobic bullying.
The FOI reveals that 20,400 primary school children were labelled as homophobic or racist during the past academic year, the youngest child being just four years old.
One alleged homophobic incident at a school in the London borough of Barnet showed that two year four children (aged eight or nine) argued over an eraser and called each other “gay” and “lesbian”.
More than one in every hundred primary school pupils in Leeds and Birmingham was reported for hate speech. Some local authorities even recorded incidents with children at nursery schools. | 2019-04-24T00:51:06 | https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/09/04/thousands-of-primary-school-pupils-reported-for-homophobia/ |
Gemini is a northern zodiac constellation and one of the 48 constellations described by second century astronomer Ptolemy. Its name is Latin for the twins and it's one of the few constellations in the sky that actually looks like what it suppose to represent. This bright grouping contains two-standout stars, Castor (α Gem) and Pollux (β Gem). At mag. +1.16, Pollux is the brighter while multiple system Castor shines at mag. +1.58. Surprisingly, Pollux was assigned beta Geminorum by Johann Bayer - the German astronomer who labelled the stars with Greek letters in 1603 - even though it easily outshines Castor. Some astronomers have suggested that maybe Pollux has since brightened or Castor faded, but both possibilities seem extremely improbable. The likelihood is that Bayer simply made a mistake and didn't carefully distinguish which was the brighter star.
In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux were twin brothers whose mother was Queen Leda although Castor was the mortal son of King Tyndareus and Pollux the divine son of Zeus. Together the twins were known as the Dioscuri, which means the sons of Zeus. However, in most versions of the myth only Pollux was Zeus's child. The twins were the patron saints of mariners, appearing in ships rigging as the St Elmo's fire phenomena. When Castor died, Pollux begged Zeus to give Castor immortality, which he did, thereby reuniting the twins together in the heavens forever.
In Babylonian astronomy, the twins were regarded as minor gods. In Chinese astronomy, part of Gemini represented the White Tiger of the West and another part the Vermillion Bird of the South. In more modern times, William Herschel in 1781 discovered Uranus near eta Geminorum (η Gem). In 1930, Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto on photographic plates centered on Wasat (δ Gem). Project Gemini was also the name of NASA's second human spaceflight program during the 1960's.
Gemini occupies 514 square degrees of sky and is partly located among the rich star fields of the Milky Way. The constellation is positioned high in the sky for Northern Hemisphere observers during the winter months. It's less well placed from southern locations but nevertheless can still be seen at latitudes as far as 60 degrees south. Deep sky objects within amateur range include some fine open clusters, planetary nebulae, a reflection nebula and a supernova remnant. In addition, there are many nice double stars. Gemini contains only one Messier object, open cluster M35.
The Sun passes through Gemini from late June to late July. The constellation is also the radiant for the Geminids, a rich December meteor shower and highlight of the annual meteor calendar.
Castor (alpha Geminorum - α Gem) - is one of the finest multiple stars in the sky. The brightest components, Castor A and Castor B, shine at magnitudes +1.9 and +3.0 respectively. With a current separation of 5.0 arc seconds, a small 80mm (3.1-inch) refractor at about 100x power will comfortably split the pair into two white components. In the 1960s this was a much more difficult task, at closest they were only 1.8 arc seconds apart. Since then the stars have widened slightly and will continue to do so until about 2100, after which they will start to close up again. The orbital period is 445 years.
A third much fainter red dwarf companion, Castor C (mag. +9.8), is positioned 71.0 arc seconds from the main pair. In addition, each star itself is a spectroscopic binary making in total a sextuple system.
Castor has a combined magnitude of +1.58 and is 51 light-years distant.
Pollux (beta Geminorum - β Gem) - mag. +1.16, is a type K0 orange giant star that's 34 light-years away. It's the brightest star in Gemini and is believed to have originally been a blue white A-type main sequence star. It has since exhausted the hydrogen at its core and evolved into the orange giant we see today.
Alhena (gamma Geminorum - γ Gem) - mag. +1.93, is a hot blue-white type A1 star that's 109 light-years distant.
Wasat (delta Geminorum - δ Gem) - is a challenging double star for small scopes due to the brightness difference of the two components. The primary is a magnitude +3.6 white main sequence star, separated by 5.8 arc seconds from its magnitude +8.2 orange K class companion. A quality 80mm (3.1-inch) refractor on good nights should split them. The separation is easily within the scope's reach, the problem is the secondary often gets lost in the glare of the main star. A magnification of about 150x is recommended.
Wasat is also a spectroscopic binary making this a triple star system. It lies 60 light-years from Earth.
Mebsuta (epsilon Geminorum - ε Gem) - is a nice wide double star. Any size telescope or large binoculars will reveal a main yellow star of magnitude +3.1 alongside a fainter companion (mag. +9.7) separated by 111 arc seconds. The star achieved much publicity on April 8, 1976 when it was occulted by Mars, allowing measurements of the planet's atmosphere to be made.
The Mebusta system is 840 light-years from Earth.
Mu Geminorum (μ Gem) - mag. +2.9, is the fourth brightest star in Gemini. It has a faint companion (mag. +9.4) that appears deep red in colour. Any telescope will easily split this wide pair of 122 arc seconds separation.
Kappa Geminorum (κ Gem) - 143 light-years distant is a challenging double for small scopes consisting of magnitudes +3.7 and +8.2 stars, separated by 7.2 arc seconds. Like Wasat, the extreme brightness difference of the components posses problems for anything less than a 100mm (4-inch) scope. High powers and steady seeing conditions are a must.
Nu Geminorum (ν Gem) - is a blue-white star of magnitude +4.1 with a wide magnitude +8.0 companion visible with binoculars. Separation is 112 arc secs.
38 Geminorum - is a beautiful double star for small telescopes. It consists of a magnitude +4.8 yellow-white F0 star and a fainter white secondary star of magnitude +7.8. They are separated by 7 arc seconds. A small 80mm (3.1-inch) scope at 100x power will split this delightful pair.
20 Geminorum - positioned midway between nu (ν) Geminorum and gamma (γ) Geminorum is 20 Geminorum, an easily resolvable pair of white magnitudes +6.3 and +6.9 stars. A nice target for small scopes, the separation is 20 arc seconds.
15 Geminorum - looks like a fainter version of Albireo in Cygnus. The two stars are yellow and blue in colour, shining at magnitudes +6.7 and +8.2 respectively. They appear attractive together and are easily split in any scope. The separation is 25 arc seconds. Also visible in the same low power field of view is 16 Geminorum.
Mekbuda (zeta Geminorum - ζ Gem) - is both a variable star and a binocular double. The primary is of the Cepheid variety and fluctuates between magnitudes +3.6 and +4.2 every 10.2 days. Binoculars and small telescopes reveal an unrelated companion (mag. +7.7), separated by 101 arc seconds.
Eta Geminorum (η Gem) - is another double variable. The primary is a semi-regular red giant star whose brightness varies between magnitude +3.15 and +3.9 over a period of 234 days. It has a close 9th magnitude companion - separation 1.8 arc seconds - that requires a larger scope to distinguish it from the glare of the main star.
U Geminorum - is the prototype dwarf nova star. It's a binary system consisting of a white dwarf closely orbiting a red dwarf every 4 hours and 11 minutes. As a result of transits and eclipses its magnitude varies between +14.0 and +15.1. At this brightness level, the star is extremely faint and requires at least a 250mm (10-inch) scope and dark skies to be seen. However, roughly once ever 100 days it undergoes a significant outburst and brightens to 9th magnitude and therefore within the range of binoculars and small scopes. The star then stays bright for a couple of weeks before fading down again. The burst in activity is believed to result from instability in the accretion disk. When gas reaches a critical temperature it collapses onto the white dwarf releasing massive amounts of energy at the same time.
Unfortunately the 100 day period is also extremely irregular and has been known to vary between 62 days and 257 days. U Geminorum is estimated to be 270 light-years distant.
BU Geminorum - is a semi-regular variable star that varies between magnitudes +5.7 and +7.5 over a period of 325 days. At brightest it's just about visible to the naked eye.
R Geminorum - is a Mira type variable star 1,900 light-years from Earth that varies between magnitudes +6.0 and +14.0 over a period of 370 days. When at brightest it's easily visible with 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars.
M35 (NGC 2168) - is the most striking deep sky object in Gemini. It's a magnitude +5.2 open cluster that appears to the naked eye as a misty patch of light. When seen through binoculars, M35 is a fantastic sight with many bright stars visible, superimposed on a hazy background. A medium size 150mm (6-inch) scope at low powers reveals a field full of stars arranged in curves, with a brighter orange member towards the centre.
M35 is 2,800 light-years distant and spans 28 arc minutes, similar to that of the full Moon. It's estimated to contain up to 200 stars. Located about 15 arc minutes southwest of M35 is another fainter open cluster, NGC 2158, which can be glimpsed with binoculars.
NGC 2158 - mag. +8.6, is located 15 arc minutes southwest of the much nearer cluster, M35. It's 11,000 light-years distant and therefore appears smaller, fainter and more difficult to resolve than its apparent neighbour. On nights of good seeing, NGC2158 can be spotted with binoculars appearing as a faint circular smudge of light. Small telescopes fare better, while a 250mm (10-inch) scope at high powers reveals many stars distributed across its 5 arc minutes diameter. Such a view gives a real sense of looking deep into interstellar space.
NGC 2158 is an old cluster of some 2 billion years that contains 10,000 stars in total. The brightest individual members are of 12th magnitude. The cluster is very compact and appears not unlike a loose globular cluster.
NGC 2129 - like NGC 2158 is another distant open cluster in Gemini, although that's where the similarity ends. NGC 2129 is about 10 million years old and much younger than NGC 2158. It shines at magnitude +6.7, primarily due to the existence of three 8th and 9th magnitude stars positioned at the centre. The remaining stars in the group are faint with about 50 members brighter than 15th magnitude. The cluster spans 5 arc minutes in diameter.
A small 80mm (3.1-inch) scope reveals the bright stars at the centre, surrounded by an irregular misty haze of partly resolved fainter stars. Larger scopes at higher powers reveal many more stars.
NGC 2129 is 7,200 light-years away.
NGC 2420 - located 4 degrees east of Wasat is NGC 2420, a group of 30 stars packed into a 7 arc minute diameter. The cluster shines at a collective 9th magnitude but all members are faint. The brightest individual components are of 11th magnitude.
Small scopes show a hazy patch with some brighter members resolvable. Through larger scopes at medium to high powers it shows more character, including a nice curved chain of stars around the centre.
NGC 2266 - is a compact 9th magnitude cluster located just north of Mebsuta and near the border with Auriga. It's a fairly rich compact object with about 50 stars spread across 4 arc minutes of sky. The individual stars are faint, the brightest being of 11th magnitude, but the cluster offers nice views through medium and large size scopes.
NGC 2395 - mag. +8.0, a large open cluster positioned at the northwest corner of Abell 21, the Medusa Nebula. Up to 40 stars can be seen in this 15 arc minute diameter elongated shape. Through a 200mm (8-inch) scope at 100x power, it appears loose with most stars between 10th and 13th magnitude.
NGC 2392 - mag. +9.1, is the constellation's brightest planetary nebula. Resembling a person's head surrounded by a parka hood, it's also known as the Eskimo Nebula or Clown Face Nebula. The planetary is a challenging binocular object, appearing faint and stellar like, although it may be possible to notice a twinkling effect when switching between normal and averted vision hinting at the object's true nature.
The Eskimo Nebula's small apparent size of 48 arc seconds - no larger than Jupiter at opposition - means when searching with small scopes at low powers it can be easily missed. The planetary appears as a tiny out of focus star with a noticeable bluish-green tint. It's positioned about 100 arc seconds from a magnitude +8.2 yellow white star. Once you have identified NGC 2392, switch to higher powers to reveal the 10th magnitude central star and the fuzzy encircling disk.
The Eskimo Nebula takes magnification well. When viewed through medium size scopes, intrigue details can be seen including dark arcs and mottling. As is common with objects of this type, the planetary appears to often blink on and off. It's estimated to be 2,900 light-years distant, which corresponds to a spatial diameter of 0.68 light-years.
In January 2000, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) captured an iconic image of the Eskimo Nebula.
NGC 2371 / 2372 - is a faint 13th magnitude dual lobed planetary nebula positioned a few degrees from Castor and Pollux. Its structure is reminiscent of the Dumbbell Nebula (M27) in Vulpecula and the Little Dumbbell Nebula (M76) in Perseus. NGC 2371 / 2372 appears like two separate objects, hence the double NGC notation given to it by William Herschel.
On good nights the planetary can be seen with a 250mm (10-inch) telescope, appearing as two fuzzy almost touching semi-circles. It measures 44 arc seconds in diameter and has a magnitude +12.5 central star. Narrow-band filters, in particular those of the OIII variety, can help.
Abell 21 - the Medusa Nebula, is a large planetary nebula in the southern part of Gemini, close to the Canis Minor border. It was discovered in 1955 by American astronomer George Abell, who originally classified it as an old planetary nebula. Also known as Sharpless 274, the object was later thought to be a supernova remnant until scientific investigations indicated it was likely a planetary nebula after all.
The Medussa nebula is a challenging amateur object due to its large apparent size and low surface brightness. Under dark skies and with the aid of an OIII filter it can be spotted with a 200mm (8-inch) scope, but normally a larger instrument is required.
It's estimated to lie 1,500 light-years from Earth.
NGC 2339 - an unusual place to look for galaxies is in the plane of the Milky Way, but one object within amateur range is NGC 2339. This faint small Sb type barred spiral galaxy (mag. +11.7) spans 2.7 x 2.0 arc minutes of apparent sky.
A 200mm (8-inch) scope on nights of good seeing reveals a faint oval smudge of nebulosity. The galaxy takes high power quite well and many foreground stars are also visible, providing a rich backdrop. NGC 2339 is 100 million light-years distant and is estimated to contain 250 billion stars. It has a spatial diameter of 80,000 light-years.
IC 443 - is a galactic supernova remnant, also known as the Jellyfish Nebula or Sharpless 248, and one of the best-studied examples of its type. The explosion is believed to have occurred sometime between 3,000 and 30,000 years ago, near the star eta (η) Geminorum.
The nebula is within the reach of experienced observers from dark sites with 200mm (8-inch) scopes and OIII filters. However it's a challenging object, even with the largest of amateur scopes.
IC 444 - is a reflection nebula located just over 1 degree northeast of eta (η) Geminorum. It shines at magnitude +7.0 and spans 8 x 4 arc minutes. One for larger scopes, this low surface brightness nebula appears faint and irregular. Positioned off centre is star 12 Geminorum (mag. +7.0).
Geminids - is the richest annual meteor shower. Also known as the Winter Fireworks, it usually peaks on evening of December 13th / 14th when up to 120 meteors per hour can be seen. The August Perseids is the only other annual shower that is comparable in duration and numbers.
Rho Geminids - is a weak meteor shower that peaks in January. | 2019-04-22T18:13:44 | https://freestarcharts.com/gemini |

What gives? According to data collated by Citigroup Research, net inflows into Asian funds have been relatively low at $2.1 billion (Rs9,828 crore today) since August. In the same period, global emerging market funds received net inflows worth $8.6 billion. This is based on data published by Emerging Portfolio Fund Research (EPFR). Citigroup’s analysts point out that the lower inflows into Asian funds have been because of large fund-raising by Asian companies: “Over the last three months, companies in Asia (ex-Japan) raised US$54 billion both through IPOs (initial public offerings) and secondary issuances, which was 3.6 times the funds raised in Latin America, Emerging Europe, Middle East and South Africa all put together."
While this has affected short-term returns of investors in Asian emerging markets, it is a healthy trend so far as the long-term health of Asian companies goes. It’s always good for companies to raise funds when markets are awash with liquidity, rather than scramble for funds when they are scarce. Asian companies have adopted this principle rather aggressively in recent months. | 2019-04-24T23:56:03 | https://www.livemint.com/Money/NRsR40fapRZBbBM3YJEQkK/New-issues-hit-secondary-market-returns-in-emerging-markets.html |
Who didn’t play with LEGO in his/her childhood? The Danish toy company just overtook Mattel as the number one toy maker in the world. I recently came across some classical paintings remodelled with LEGO bricks on the internet . And with bricks I mean small 1x1 plates giving a pixelated view onto the old masterpieces. Which got me thinking about two things: Is it possible to remodel any old classic into a LEGOfied version of itself? And: Can you do it only with colours already available for purchase? The last thing is important if you want to actually build the image after LEGOfying it. The examples I have found used a lot of colours not in the standard LEGO colour palette.
But first, let’s have a look at the original I have chosen. It is The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.
First things first. One of the first problems to tackle is the range of colours available. This was the first time I stumbled across Bricklink, a shop site offering single bricks for purchase. Trust me: They are great! And this is not the last time you will hear about them in this post (Trust me!). Bricklink offers a full colour table. The good news: The table offers a timeline for each colour and therefore the possibility to filter colours which are not available any more. The bad news: HTML crawling is necessary. Yay! So let’s set up a colour table in a pandas DataFrame.
We import all the basic stuff for HTML crawling. Requests for downloading, BeautifulSoup for CSS selection and pandas for storing the table.
You might have noticed that I removed some colours by hand. Those are the colours which are so rare, they score up to 4.00€ per piece on Bricklink. If you still want them in your picture just remove the last instruction. So, current_colours should look like this. It contains circa 30 colours.
The following progress is called colour quantisation. It replaces all colours with a limited choice of other colours. In our case the image pixels will be transmuted (+1 on the fancy word scale) to the LEGO colour scale. This is done by finding the nearest neighbours in the RGB space. Each pixel is represented as a vector of its R, G and B component. The distance between two pixels is the euclidean distance between their respective vectors.
Now we replace all the pixels in the original (girl.jpg) with colours from current_colours.
After all this, the image (rescaled to the original’s size) looks like this. Isn’t she a looker?
Notes: If you use the fleshy colours, you will get a more even skin tone. You can see that the reduced colour palette is far from perfect for classical images.
…one can see that filling a image with only 1x1 plates (part ID: 3024) costs a rather large amount of money. For me, it was between 65€ and 103€ depending on the shop. This should make it clear to the reader, why I have chosen to shrink the image to 32 pixels. Any size larger would only cost more. But is there a way, not to Amarillo, but to enlarge the portions of the image with the same colour? LEGO bricks and plates are rectangular most of the time. Can we fit rectangles larger than 1x1 into the image? Spoiler!
I’ll make my own algorithm. With blackjack and graphs!
Fitting larger rectangles into the image should be easy. Just find all areas with the same colour. Then, try to fill the areas with large rectangles. Let’s transfer the image to a graph. Every pixel is translated to a node with the x and y coordinates as positions in the graph and the colour as a node property.
The final graph looks a little bit like the original image, if you really squint your eyes.
You might have noticed the connections between the areas with the same colour. Every pixel (or node) is connected to its neighbour if their colour is the same. So, every enclosed colour builds a connected component in the graph. The biggest one, as shown below, is of course the black background.
Now the tricky part begins. We fill all connected components of the graph with rectangles as large as possible. Therefore, the algorithm starts with the minimum node (left upper corner of an area) and expands southwards until the edge of the area is found or the maximum size is reached. Afterwards, it tries to expand the area eastwards with the same conditions. If an edge is found or the maximum size is reached the last complete rectangle is returned. The following video details the steps for the first black rectangle.
The function find_rectangles returns the complete set of rectangles over all connected components for the image.
assert max_size % 2 == 0 or max_size < 4, "Even numbers for max_size only!"
..and build the final Bricklink XML.
The XML can now be uploaded to Bricklink and you can order all the parts there.
Let me summarise what I have accomplished.
having so much fun, I actually ordered the bricks (~30€) and built the image.
Yes, you read right: I built the image with actual LEGO bricks. So, the last thing for me to say is: Back to my hands, desperately trying to find that one piece, I saw earlier. Arrgh! Where is it?

The spines of our veterans need good care. Veterans need access to chiropractic care - just like their fellow West Des Moines chiropractic spine pain patients - and now can get it. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is the West Des Moines back pain specialty center for spine pain, back pain, neck pain, arm pain and leg pain relief for West Des Moines veterans and West Des Moines back pain patients. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers relieving West Des Moines chiropractic care to any West Des Moines back pain patients wanting back pain relief!
Data from the Veterans’ Administration (VA), “diseases of the musculoskeletal system/connective system” like back pain are the primary problems for veterans coming back from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. (1) To what is it attribute? Most of us would think it is due to carrying weighty backpacks and weapons. (2) One study points out that back pain is found more in military construction and law enforcement personnel. (3) Reason for back pain for non-military folks like West Des Moines residents apply to military, too, like injury, posture, daily activity, weight, stress, genetic defects, etc.
One military officer who had a 20-year history of mechanical back pain secondary to an injury sustained during active military duty experienced intermittent radiation of numbness and tingling involving the right lower extremity distal to the knee. Chiropractic care delivered him a 25% reduction in low back pain severity and a 22% decrease in his disability. The program of conservative, chiropractic management included 10 treatments of lumbar flexion/distraction and activity modification over an eight-week period. Even though he had had this pain a long time, he gained relief. (4) After 20 years, such drops in pain and disability would clearly be cheered by West Des Moines back pain sufferers, too.
1999 marked the year of the US law permitting the VA to deliver chiropractic care via private sector chiropractors. (5) From 2004 (the year the law was passed that chiropractic was to be accessible in the VA system) to 2015, annual chiropractic VA patients increased by 821%, chiropractic visits by 694%, number of clinics by 9%, chiropractic employees by 21%. (5) Currently, 70 VA facilities have chiropractors on staff. (1) Nearly 100 VA facilities still have little to no availability. (2) If a VA facility doesn’t have a chiropractor(s) on staff, veterans (if they ask) are able to get a referral to a local chiropractor like yours at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa for care. Many don’t know about this option or that they can benefit from chiropractic care. Chiropractic as a profession and your West Des Moines chiropractic persist in educating the public about how it can reduce musculoskeletal pain, back pain, sciatica, neck pain and arm radiculopathy, how it can help with pain management. Today, many veterans - like many others in the general population - are having issues with prescription opioid pain drugs. (6) The opioid epidemic is everywhere; chiropractic care may help curb its effects for military veterans as it does for general population West Des Moines pain patients.
Chiropractic researchers attempt to make sure that military personnel have access to chiropractic care. One group created an integrated care pathway for doctors of chiropractic, primary care providers, and mental health professionals who direct the care of veterans with low back pain, with or without mental health comorbidity, within Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care facilities. (7) Lately, the US House endorsed expansion of chiropractic services in the VA. Availability is to rise to at least 2 medical centers/clinics in each Veterans Integrated Service Network by December 31, 2019, and be at 50% of them by December 31, 2021. (1) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa appreciates the confidence in chiropractic care this action demonstrates.
Schedule a West Des Moines chiropractic appointment for yourself or a loved one – military veteran or not. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is ready to help alleviate the musculoskeletal spine pain and back pain conditions of all sorts faced by military personnel and military veterans with chiropractic care. | 2019-04-18T12:45:19 | https://www.ecicare.com/doctor/chiropractor/chiropractic-West-Des-Moines/featured-articles/the-va-expansion-of-chiropractic-care-for-spine-pain-in-military-personnel |

Successful innovation relies on people, planning, and purpose.
This article appears in the March/April 2019 edition of HealthLeaders magazine.
Too often, healthcare leaders are caught by the idea of the bright, shiny object of innovation, without thinking through to the application. The industry today may be in the immature arc of the adoption curve, where the ability to create technology is outpacing the ability of providers to effectively deploy them.
Leaders need to ask: Do the people using a new tool or executing an innovative idea find it helpful or burdensome? What specific healthcare goal does a specific innovation improve? Is it achieving a desired outcome?
This intersection of innovation and adoption is the nexus of discussion at the HealthLeaders Innovation Exchange held July 17–19 in Ojai, California, where four dozen executives will come together to share best practices in identifying, funding, vetting, and applying healthcare innovation.
The two-day forum involves roundtable discussions as well as fast-paced executive presentations on how they are achieving results.
1. Can you see the healthcare value in the innovation?
Despite the push toward population health, Mouneer Odeh, vice president, enterprise analytics and chief data scientist at Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health in Philadelphia, says the healthcare arena chiefly operates in two worlds.
"For most health systems, management focus is still on the fee-for-service world, but we have another world that we're working toward to achieve value," says Odeh.
"From a management perspective, how do we embed value thinking in everything we do? It's a shift in mindset that hasn't fully occurred yet; we're still bifocal," he says. "We need an integrated understanding about population health objectives that's fully integrated into everything we do, rather than a separate effort that is disconnected from our daily activities."
2. Is the innovation effective for the people using it?
Odeh encourages leaders to think carefully about how to achieve objectives.
"With clinical workflows, we have historically used bolt-on technologies. But now EHRs are guiding integrated pop health capabilities that give physicians triggers and alerts—so they are better informed and can take action as they see patients," he says. "It's a great innovation that is rapidly maturing, but we haven't fully understood how to make this technology truly work for our providers and ultimately for our patients."
"We're also dealing with physician burnout, so we need to make sure we're not just layering additional responsibilities on them," Odeh says. "We need to make sure technology works for everyone involved and is having the impact on patients that we're wanting to achieve. Innovation needs to be from the human-centric viewpoint, instead of being driven by technology. It needs to be tested to make sure we've got feedback mechanisms to ensure it's having the intended effect."
3. Is the data from the innovation measurable?
As a medical data analyst, Bradley Brimhall, MD, MPH, helps determine the effectiveness of population health programs led by Liem Du, MD, medical director at University Health System in San Antonio.
"I was asked to quantify the value and success of new approaches Dr. Du is taking in population health management in financial and quality terms. But getting data into one place so that it's easy to analyze is a challenge," says Brimhall, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, and medical director of healthcare analytics & bioinformatics at University of Texas Health-San Antonio, University Health System.
"Data tends to be scattered because we're getting it from lots of outside sources, not just the EMR," he says.
"One barrier we encounter is getting data structured so that it's easy to organize and analyze—clinical data, cost information, health information exchange data, community resource information, etc. We have several large relational databases from multiple sources that need to be linked together. How do you tie all these disparate pieces together?"
"For example, the cost of care (supplies, services) must be integrated with quality and other performance data to understand the financial and service impacts of clinical decisions," he says. "Some solutions to the cost of healthcare are likely to be simpler steps but measuring the quality and financial impacts are more complicated."
Brimhall cites the lack of integration hindering predictive modeling as well. "Understanding the data can save money and hassle for high-risk patients who don't have to be hospitalized and can be treated more proactively. But integrated data is much better for predictive model development."
"To design a project, I need to analyze the data, and it takes longer than it should," he says. "If we could design better data structures and my team could access the data better, then we could be cranking out projects faster."
Another challenge is having people with the skills and proficiencies to understand information and arrive at solutions, says Brimhall. "We need to train a subgroup of physicians in clinical informatics to focus on analytics. We also need to train some nurses, technologists, and medical laboratory scientists."
To help further this goal, Brimhall has established a clinical informatics fellowship for physicians to be trained in data analytics.
"Incremental improvements can yield high savings and value improvement if you can overcome the barrier of data integration and measurement."
4. Does the innovation need to span the care continuum?
Hospitals are dinged for readmission penalties, but often providers are sending patients to other settings, such as physical therapy rehab, home health, or skilled nursing facilities (SNF), in which they have no control over patients' continued care.
"We face a lot of challenges with smooth transitions from inpatient to what comes next," says Peter Charvat, MD, vice president and chief medical officer at Johnston UNC Health Care in Smithfield, North Carolina.
To improve coordinated care, Charvat is piloting a program with one of the system's SNFs. "Rather than sending a patient immediately back to the hospital when something goes wrong, as often happens, we have conversations with the SNF to help avoid readmission."
Helping the effort are UNC Health Care's preferred-provider SNFs to ensure the system is partnering with facilities with quality and outcomes, says Charvat.
"More than anything, providers need to set clear expectations when patients are discharged—which means a provider-to-provider call that details what they saw and what they anticipate the stay will be," he says. "We're training physicians and our hospitalists group to have the calls."
"In addition, we have a secure messaging app that we give to the SNFs to text each other," he says. "They also have access to our EMR and can pull up reports for any patient encounter to get more complete information."
Johnston Health is also piloting a program that gives community paramedics access to the SNF.
"Medicare pays for a short-term stay for up to 21 days, and we know that on day 19, if the patient is not ready to go home [but is discharged], then the paramedics will visit the patient's home on day 22," he says.
"Hospitals need to work on communication with home health, case management, transition calls, [and] community paramedics to call patients and ask if they are taking their meds and following up with a doctor's appointment. It's keeping a patient well at home."
5. Will real people be able to use the innovation?
Another quality improvement hindrance is providers' capacity to motivate patients regarding their lifestyle practices.
"Health systems have an important, but limited role in improving the health of patients," says Odeh. "When a patient visits a provider or is in one of our hospitals, we have the ability to influence, but when they go home our influence is limited. And while we have care coordinators to help with that, the needs are much greater.
"Our CEO, Dr. Steven Klasko, calls this ‘healthcare without an address,' " he says. "How do you take the things that promote better health and push that out to where people live—at work, or home, or in the community?"
"Addressing real-life experiences is a challenge requiring a high degree of technological innovation," says Odeh. "But it's not an area that health systems can naturally affect, so how do we work with the community—religious institutions, nonprofits, public health entities, respected leaders, and other influencers—to remove barriers and make it easy to practice the right, healthy behaviors?"
One of the ways Jefferson Health is working to foster a healthier community is through establishing the Philadelphia Collaborative for Health Equity (P-CHE).
"While Jefferson Health is currently leading it, our goal is to be a facilitator of dialogue, to develop an institutional framework and collaborate with other institutions and community organizations regarding what is needed."
Odeh emphasizes, "The key message is that innovation has got to work for people in order to achieve our goals and objectives."

You will notice something about Tropezia Palace’s Blackjack game right from the off. Have a look at the gaming table. It is a burgundy! You don’t normally get this with Blackjack tables, but it is much appreciated nonetheless, and it really makes the game stand out from other blackjack titles. As far as the gameplay itself goes though, there isn’t much to separate this one from other games.
Wagering on this blackjack game is fair, and it has a minimum bet of just 1.00. The maximum bet on the other hand is fixed at a high 500.00 per hand. Your betting chips include 1.00, 5.00, 10.00, 25.00 and 100.00 denominations. This range should enable you to bet with pretty much whatever stake that you see fit.
Despite there being three betting markers on the table, you can only bet on one hand in this game. Once your bet has been placed, hitting deal will start the game. Plays can choose to double your bets if they wish, but that is a bold move which is normally reserved only for those players who have a hand of twenty, or another good point hand.
This blackjack game has cut out some of the more popular rules. For instance, doubling down and splitting don’t seem to appear in this title. Whilst that is great news for beginners, it may turn out to be rather upsetting for any gamer hoping for a 100% professional blackjack experience.
Blackjack pays 3:2 in this game, whilst Insurance pays out at 2:1. All other wins are 1:1. This is pretty much the standard for all blackjack games.
Players should not confuse Tropezia Palace’s blackjack game. It is designed as a basic blackjack title, so there should be no surprises about how simple its gameplay is. But there is one overriding factor which is perhaps slightly more pressing.This blackjack game tends to see the player lose more often than other blackjack games. During a long trial period, many of the hands went the dealer’s way, often with just a point between the two hands. That is rather unsettling, but it could be an anomaly.
Still, if you are new to blackjack, you may find this game a treat. It can be played for free, and will provide you with a more than adequate introduction to the game. It is very easy to grasp, and quite enjoyable – as long as the dealer isn’t winning all of the hands, that is! | 2019-04-19T10:17:45 | https://freecasinogames.net/games/blackjack/blackjack2547.html |

“Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) summarizes the step-by-step procedure your business will execute to recover from a devastating calamity or disaster.
A DRP is a business plan that describes how work can be resumed quickly and efficiently after a disaster,” Techopedia, an IT Education site, sums it up.
However, developing a DRP is not a one-time task to get done with. Since an organization continually evolves, a DRP must be adaptable to any changes.
After a disastrous event, an effective DRP guides an organization to retrieve the necessary data and information. That is, in spite of what may happen with your system.
This way, your business bounces back and rerun its operations.
How to prepare a Disaster Recovery Plan?
This sample scheme from The Balance.com focuses on a DRP for a possible loss of your business office, because of fire or a natural disaster like flood.
1. List of Jobs. Jot down and sort jobs according to its importance which needs to be functioning at once. Include here the list, which jobs need to be relocated.
4. Alternate office location. Research in advance where do you plan to put up your Disaster Recovery site; remember you don’t have to rent out a place.
5. Insurance and budget. Determine how much do you need to get all the items or equipment’s you need and be sure to allocate and save that amount for your recovery plan.
6. Share the Plan and Store It Offsite. Share the plan with at least one person or a team. Make another copy as a back-up and keep it on a secure place outside or away from your office. Be sure you have easy access to it in case a disaster happens.
It protects and minimizes the chance of losing your business’ important data and system. When unexpected catastrophes happened, plan ahead and document every DRP procedures to save time, space and money.
What do you think about this? Do you agree that Disaster Recovery Plan can protect your business? | 2019-04-20T16:40:05 | http://www.career-escape-program.com/category/business/page/2/ |
The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 ED VR Lens is a complete zoom lens with the ability to shoot wide angle to super telephoto focal lengths. This powerful lens has a zoom range of 18-300mm, equivalent to the 27-450mm of the 35mm format, making it ideal for a large range of shooting situations.
The Nikon 18 300 can achieve quick and quiet autofocusing for both still shooting and video with the Silent Wave Moto and with internal focusing, that keeps the lens design compact. The Vibration Reduction technology stabilizes images optically to reduce camera movement and shaking to get up to 4 extra stops of light when shooting handheld.
The image quality is considerably improved by the three aspherical and extra-low dispersion glass elements that maximize contrast and minimize flare and ghosting. The Nikon 18 300 is also equipped with 7 rounded diaphragm blades for smooth out-of-focus areas and a 67mm front filter thread.
• Wide aperture range from f/3.5 to f/22.
• Tilting angle of view from 76° to 5°20'.
• Minimum focusing distance of 1.6' and maximum magnification of 0.32x.
• Lens construction of 16 elements in 12 groups.
• When used in DX crop mode the Nikon 18 300 works on FX-format cameras.
• Equipped with 7 rounded diaphragm blades for smooth out-of-focus areas.
• The three extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements help reduce the effects of chromatic aberrations and preserve optimal sharpness and contrast of the lens.
• Three aspherical lens elements minimize coma and other aberrations, correct the distortion and keep the lens smaller and lighter.
• Super Integrated Coating practically eliminates ghosting and reduces flaring, keeping a crisp image on the entire the frame.
• The M/A switch can lock the focus ring during autofocus, and yet allows manual focus when the ring is turned. | 2019-04-21T02:24:49 | https://www.42photo.com/Product/nikon-18-300mm-af-s-nikkor-dx-f-3-5-6-3g-ed-vr-lens-67mm-579/106838 |

PT PLN meeting in Papua and West Papua together with the Government of Papua New Guinea.
The Papua New Guinea government held a meeting with PT PLN (Persero) in the regions of Papua and West Papua (PLNWP2B), to discuss the purchase of electricity of 2 megawatts.
The meeting which took place at one of the hotels in Jayapura City, the capital of Papua Province on Thursday (13/9) discussed the draft cooperation that will be signed by both parties in October 2018.
PLNWP2B Communication Analyst Assistant, Septian Pujianto, said previously the meeting between the Government of Papua New Guinea and PLNWP2B had been conducted several times.
“In addition to discussing the contents of the collaboration, the discussion is also related to the network of technicians, because we only have 20 KV and PNG has 22 KV. This will later be designed through step up travers to increase the voltage to the same that is 22 KV, “said Septian who is known for being friendly.
Septian continued, for sustainability ahead of the signing of this collaboration, the General Manager of PLNWP2B, Ari Dartomo and a number of his technicians visited Port Moresby to plan the network.
“Later after the sale of 2 megawatts, there will be additional additions that will be channeled to Vanimo,” he explained.
At present, the electrical system in Jayapura can be fulfilled with the operation of two Holtekamp PLTMG machines, each with 50 megawatts and a number of hydropower plants, as well as several diesel generators. While the peak load for Jayapura and its surroundings reached 73 megawatts.
Information obtained by BumiPapua.com, will later be made to the electricity distribution network to Wutung and then Papua New Guinea will connect the distribution to Vanimo, Aitape and possibly reach Wewak. | 2019-04-24T06:58:41 | http://www.freewestpapua1.com/2018/09/13/papua-new-guinea-buy-2-megawatts-of-electricity-to-the-west-papuan-pln/ |

In May 2014, the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents approved the addition of a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at Angelo State. This December, the first five graduates will walk the stage.
Riddle, an engineering-physics double major, will be joined by fellow graduates Matthew Holmes, Ty Lee, Luis Lozano and Caleb Miller in December. Lozano is one of the first students to transfer from Southwest Texas Junior College (SWTJC) as part of a program funded by the $2.87 million grant awarded to Angelo State from the U.S. Department of Education in August 2014. Under the program, SWTJC students are able to complete an Associate of Science in Engineering Sciences degree then transfer to ASU to complete their bachelor’s degree.
With the first five of those students graduating this fall, the program’s sights are now set on accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), which could not begin until the program graduated its first students. | 2019-04-23T21:51:10 | https://www.angelo.edu/content/news/16499-the-fundamental-five |

Be kind to fellow explorers. Some folks want a fast workout; others are leisurely watching wildlife or inspecting wildflowers along the trail.
Keep your distance from wildlife. Do not, under any circumstances, try to touch or feed an animal. Avoid the poison oak! Many people are allergic to it, and develop itchy skin rashes after touching the plant or clothing covered with the plant's oils. Because it is native to the area, and many animals and insects rely on it for food and shelter, we control it only in heavily trafficked areas.
Bathe your pets! Oils on your pet can spread to you.

The most critical thing in heads up play is to discover genuine rapidly what sort of adversary you are managing. So the principal phase of the amusement must be the social affair of data. This implies you can make a call with nothing close by after stream just to perceive what he was playing with.
Each player takes after some sort of example, obviously, all things considered, it’s substantially less demanding to comprehend what the other player has, on the grounds that there are a great deal more tells. With online poker the poker tells turn out to be more subtle which obviously implies that they likewise turn out to be substantially more critical.
I will give you a portion of the least demanding online poker tells, that generally apply to each player in poker. Above all else, it’s the span of the bet. That is the most vital poker tell in online poker. Individuals believe that they have an altogether different method for betting hands pre-flounder or post-slump, yet they mislead themselves. Just the best can intentionally change their amusement style so totally that they abandon you pondering.
I exhort you – invest some energy playing heads up with a person and simply watch his bet estimate. Inevitably, it will turn out to be clear what sorts of hands he raises pre-flounder and to what measure of chips. A great many people raise three times the enormous blinds with any playable hand, yet in some cases they raise four major blinds. For what reason do they do that? What was the deal? Presently typically they have a hand that isn’t so playable, similar to, AK or AQ or QQ. The choice to raise marginally higher measure of chips than normal, is made intuitively for a great many people.
The same goes for post-flounder play. Watch how your adversary plays hands post-slump. A few people will moderate play great hands, some on the opposite side will bet it out with huge bets. The more you play with one rival the less demanding it will be to tell precisely what sort of hand he is playing with.
On the off chance that you are playing with a forceful player, simply enable him to bet your victor hand – don’t drive him away with colossal bets. In the event that you are playing with a calling station who just likes to call each bet with second best combine and no kicker esteem at all, keep betting, however watch the amount he will call, don’t frighten him away. On the off chance that you are playing versus aloof player, simply bet. In the event that he has nothing, he will crease, in the event that he has something, he will call or raise. Simply don’t get excessively forceful, on the grounds that on the off chance that he picks, making it impossible to play a hand, it will most likely be very great.
What is more essential – head up diversions will raise your poker read abilities, which later on you will have less issues of applying in amusements with more individuals.
Heads up poker is considerably less subject to good fortune, on the grounds that essentially to win in poker heads up diversion, you need to accumulate data about player and utilize it against him. Obviously there will be times when unfortunate stream cards will come up, yet the all the more great choices you make, the more you will win.
On the off chance that you are uncertain of yourself in heads up play, I would propose Sit and Go heads ups. At any rate with them you know precisely how much money to put resources into one amusement, yet on the opposite side you will have less time of finding your adversaries play, since blinds are ascending and chips are limited sum. In any case, I would even now propose giving it a go. | 2019-04-18T16:31:38 | http://www.onlinerouletteplay36.com/poker-tips-heads-up-play.html |
Patients with a heavy comorbidity burden are at higher risk of urinary tract infection after radical cystectomy.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a frequent complication and cause of hospital readmission following radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion, according to a new study.
Hooman Djaladat, MD, MS, of the University of Southern California Institute of Urology in Los Angeles, and colleagues analyzed data from 1133 patients who underwent RC for bladder cancer from 2003 to 2013. Of these, 815 (72%) underwent orthotopic diversion, 274 (24%) ileal conduit and 44 (4%) continent cutaneous diversion. A total of 123 (11%) patients experienced 151 documented UTIs during the first 90 days post-operatively, Dr Djaladat’s team reported online ahead of print in the World Journal of Urology. Of these, 21 (17%) had multiple infections and 25 (20%) had urosepsis during that period. The most common etiology was Gram-negative rods (54% of positive cultures). The most commonly identified bacteria were Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The median time to infection was 20 days.
In addition, results showed that 52% of UTI episodes led to readmission. The investigators found no significant difference in etiologic microbiology, or antibiotic sensitivity and resistance among the diversion types. Quinolone resistance was documented in 87.5% of Gram-positive and 35% of Gram-negative bacteria. On multivariable analysis, a Charlson Comorbidity Index score of 2 or more was independently associated with 80% greater odds of any UTI and 5.6-fold greater odds of Candida UTI compared with a score of 0. Urinary diversion type was not independently associated with UTI.

counties has found that less than 10 percent of polling places fully comply with state and federal laws guaranteeing access for persons with disabilities.
"The voting booth is one of the most important symbols of an open society," Spitzer said. "It is simply unconscionable that so many polling places are inaccessible, and so many New Yorkers are being denied their most fundamental rights."
The survey -- conducted with the assistance of the Catskill Center for Independence -- examined polling sites in Schoharie, Otsego and Delaware counties and found that it was virtually impossible for many persons who require the use of a wheelchair to cast a ballot in a voting booth. The findings of the survey were bolstered by a month-long investigation by the Attorney General's office of the sites in those counties.
Polling place parking lots often have no reserved parking spaces for those who require the use of a wheelchair.
Such obstacles violate the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and New York State Election Law, which require that each polling site make appropriate provisions to facilitate use by persons with disabilities.
In response to the findings, Spitzer's office contacted county officials and is working to improve access for the November 2nd election, and subsequent elections. Spitzer praised the willingness of certain county officials in addressing problems.
In addition to helping persons with disabilities, the improvements would benefit many senior citizens and others who have problems with mobility and may help increase overall voting participation rates, Spitzer said.
Disability rights groups praised the initiative: Richard Zachmeyer, Executive Director of the Catskill Center for Independence in Oneonta, said: "Everyone should have the opportunity to exercise their right and responsibility to vote in a fully integrated environment with their family, friends and neighbors."
Brad Williams, Executive Director of New York State Independent Living Council, said: "The Council greatly appreciates the efforts of Attorney General Spitzer and his Civil Rights Bureau to increase the accessibility of polling places for New York citizens with disabilities."
As part of a continuing effort to improve compliance with state and federal laws, the Attorney General's office will be surveying the accessibility of polling places on the November 2nd Election Day in many locations across the state, including the Bronx, Long Island, Rochester, Syracuse, Yonkers, Poughkeepsie and Binghamton. The effort is being coordinated by the Attorney General's Civil Rights Bureau, with the assistance of disability rights groups.
Assistant Attorneys General Ruti K. Bell (Disability Rights Project Coordinator), Carrie H. Cohen and Tynia D. Richard worked on this investigation under the direction of Civil Rights Deputy Bureau Chief Mark G. Peters and Bureau Chief Andrew G. Celli, Jr. | 2019-04-23T14:20:42 | https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/polling-places-found-inaccessible-disabled |
Dr. Richard L. Hutto is Professor and immediate past Director of the Avian Science Center at the University of Montana. Hutto has conducted research on migratory landbirds in Mexico in winter, the Southwest during spring and fall, and in the Northern Rockies in summer for more than 35 years. In 1990, he developed the USFS Northern Region Landbird Monitoring Program, and he has been studying the ecological effects of fire on bird communities for the last 25 years. Dr. Hutto was host of “Birdwatch,” a nationally televised PBS series that ran from 1998-2001. Because he is moved by what birds have to teach us about land stewardship, Hutto established the Avian Science Center on the University of Montana campus to promote ecological awareness and informed decision making by listening to what western birds tell us about the ecological effects of human land-use practices.
Most of my research has revolved around landbirds in the following contexts: (1) in burned forests, (2) during the non-breeding seasons (mostly in Mexico), (3) in riparian systems, and (4) as indicators of land-use effects via effects on habitat distribution patterns.
I have enjoyed many “side projects” along the way, including (1) mixed-species flocks, (2) foraging ecology in relation to food availability, (3) Calliope Hummingbird breeding ecology, (4) desert plant associations, and (5) the beauty of science as a process. | 2019-04-26T06:09:37 | http://www.cfc.umt.edu/personnel/details.php?ID=888 |

Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Bunny Hop Is Tomorrow!
The Bunny Hop returns again this year to provide a day of entertainment and raise money for pediatric cancer research.
For over 25 years, Memorial Sloan Kettering’s annual Bunny Hop has welcomed all to a day packed full of fun festivities. The family-friendly event features children’s performers, food, photo booths, arts and crafts, and far more entertainment. But fun aside, the goal of the fete is a bit more serious: It raises money for pediatric cancer research.
This Bunny Hop is organized by The Associates Committee of The Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering, a group of women who volunteer at and raise money for MSK through three major annual events: The Bunny Hop, the Winter Lunch, and the Fall Party. The Associates Committee emphasizes including children in the fundraising and giving-back process, helping them to understand the importance of supporting causes and helping those less fortunate.
One such associate—who currently serves as chairman of the Associates committee—is Allison Aston. The local mother-of-two has taken her son, now 10, to the Bunny Hop for the past nine years, and now brings her 8-year-old daughter as well. Aside from its entertainment factor, Aston says the Bunny Hop opens an essential dialogue between adults and children about cancer.
By combining a festive event with an important cause, kids can start to understand the importance of fundraising as well as the reality of why it’s necessary. And aside from the major events, the Associates Committee also hosts smaller events, like candy drives, where kids learn the importance of giving back.
Aston describes adds that the Bunny Hop could be thought of as “the most amazing birthday party for children” and her kids “look forward to it, like Christmas and Easter, like any annual event.” The sense of community is incredibly prevalent because there are indeed so many repeat attendees—though of course, new faces are more than welcome.
The fundraising event is sponsored by children’s clothing brand Bonpoint, who help make sure that the event’s costs don’t detract from the funds being raised for the Department of Pediatrics at MSK.
This year’s bunny hop is scheduled for 5pm on March 13 at 583 Park Avenue.

When canning and preserving foods, you need the right kitchen tools and utensils to do the job properly. Some of the basic food preservation tools, like a jar lifter or a lid wand, are only used for canning. Other tools, like pots, pans, and knives, are used throughout the year for everyday tasks.
Using the proper tool for the job decreases the chance of a jar failing to seal or being able to harbor bacteria. It can also reduce the chance of mishaps and injuries.
The tools that make canning and preserving easier are many of the same tools that are in most well-stocked kitchens: measuring cups for dry and liquid ingredients, measuring spoons, potholders, kitchen towels and paper towels, heat-resistant rubber spatulas, vegetable peeler, lemon juicer, cutting board, and scissors for opening food packages.
Knives: You need three basic knives: a paring knife, a multipurpose knife with a 6-inch blade, and an 8- or 10-inch chef’s knife. Look for stamped or forged blades and blades made of stainless or high carbon steel.
Properly caring for your knives protects your investment. Keep your knives razor-sharp. Store them in a block or a magnetic knife storage strip and hand-wash them.
Spoons: You need at least a couple of cooking spoons made of nonreactive metal that won’t change the taste of acidic foods they come in contact with. Look for stainless steel, anodized aluminum, glass, enameled cast iron, or wooden spoons.
Tongs: Tongs are handy for all types of kitchen chores, especially moving large pieces of food into and out of hot water. Try the spring-loaded variety in different lengths.
Ladle: Use a ladle that’s heatproof with a good pouring spout.
Box grater: A box grater gives you four or more options for shredding and grating.
Timer: Choose a timer that’s easy to read, easy to set, and loud enough to hear if you leave the room.
Potato masher: This makes quick work of smashing your cooked fruits or vegetables.
Melon baller: With a melon baller, you can easily remove the seeds from a halved cucumber without having the seeds end up all over your kitchen.
Corer: This tool removes apple cores without damaging the fruit and is a real timesaver.
Waterproof pens and markers: Select ones that don’t rub off.
Labels: You can make labels from masking or freezer tape, customize your own on your home computer, or order small quantities from a company like My Own Labels.
Candy thermometer: In canning, a candy thermometer measures the temperature of cooked items. Some candy thermometers have marks indicating the gel point for jelly (220 degrees). Purchase a candy thermometer that’s easy to read with a base to support the thermometer so the bulb portion doesn’t touch the bottom of your pan. If this occurs, your temperature reading won’t be accurate. Many come with a clip attached to keep the bulb off of the bottom.
Microplane grater: This tool is perfect for removing the zest from citrus fruit.
Zester: Before the microplane grater, a zester was the tool for removing citrus fruit zest (just the skin without the bitter white part). It’s still an asset when you need a small amount of zest (a teaspoon or less), but for larger amounts, use a microplane grater.
You probably already have an assortment of pots, pans, and mixing bowls. If not, don’t worry: You don’t need to purchase everything at one time. Start with a good basic assortment and add pieces as you find a need for them.
Pots: Pots have two looped handles (one on each side), range in size from 5 to 8 quarts, are deep, and allow space for the expansion of your food during a hard-rolling boil. A good-quality, heavy-bottomed pot provides even heat distribution for cooking jams and jellies.
Saucepans: Saucepans range in size from 1 to 3 quarts. They have a long handle on one side of the pan and usually come with a fitted lid.
Mixing bowls: Keep a variety of mixing bowl sizes in your kitchen. Bowls made from glass and stainless steel are the most durable.
When mixing vigorously, place a damp dishtowel under the bowl. This prevents the filled bowl from sliding.
Colander: Colanders aren’t just for draining pasta. They’re perfect for washing and draining fruits and vegetables. | 2019-04-19T12:34:52 | https://www.dummies.com/food-drink/canning/the-right-kitchen-tools-for-canning-and-preserving-foods/ |

As the Middle East-North Africa region continues to convulse with earth-shaking war, Western-backed jihadi terror, and sectarian divisions, the modern world’s media continues to avert its eyes. As the US presidential race gains steam, American journalism, even the well-meaning “left”, chronically under-report progress made in Syria, the cease-fire, the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) progress, and NATO-Gulf Nations’ utterly destructive policies, lies, and duplicity. Saudi’s illegal war in Yemen barely registers as a blip on mainstream outlets. As all this goes on, disturbingly, refugees from the whirlwind of chaos and destruction are being denigrated as second-class citizens as they enter the European Union. In the US, the problems are just as bad, as Congress and the Washington establishment seem intent on pursuing blatantly anti-immigrant policies.
In 2015, approximately 1.3 million migrants applied for asylum in the European Union. Estimates show an expected similar or higher amount for this year, in the range of 1.5-2 million. Over 3,000 refugees died trying to cross the Mediterranean in 2015. Conditions are simply brutal for those who do make it to the EU. In Greece and Hungary, refugees wait patiently as surveillance is increased, checkpoints and fences multiply, militarized police battalions patrol, and razor wire is strung up on their way to their destinations.
In Sweden, thousands of unaccompanied minors and also adults are having problems finding employment and integrating. In Denmark, authorities are considering confiscating refugee assets worth over something like $1,400 dollars- a pittance. In Germany, migrants are being told their families may not be eligible to make the journey to join them, causing many to return to Iraq and Syria. In Calais, France, violence and arson continue as refugees live in make-shift shacks, endure freezing temperatures, and the brutality of riot police.
In the US, last November the House voted in favor of the SAFE Act, 289-137, on a bill that would expand background checks and halting refugees entering from Syria and Iraq. In January, the Senate barely overturned the bill 55-43. The US has only let in approximately a meager 2,300 Syrian refugees, and most are women and children. (1) The process currently can take as long as two years, with vetting from FBI and DHS. Certainly, the US Congress has fallen off the deep end into paranoia and xenophobia to even consider such racist measures as the SAFE Act.
As has been pointed out many times, the one million refugees so far taken into the EU represents only 0.2% of the total EU population of 500 million. Surely, a responsible and humane program could be implemented throughout the Schengen area with minimal problems, if only member nations overcome their fears and delusional projections of the minority migrant “Others”. The issues blocking such progress are not social integration, assimilation, and demographic cultural problems, but are ultimately political. They relate to the way national politicians use identity politics to disparage and dehumanize refugees and immigrants.
Ultimately, news stories and sympathetic photo-journalism do little to express what refugees are going through. If a picture paints a thousand words, then engaging face-to-face with dialogue and compassion for refugees and immigrants and their struggles can paint a million. The words may not pour out, but be sure to look your companion square in the eyes. When I spoke with my own grandfather, the words were not plentiful, to put it lightly. His look, the depth of sorrow in his eyes, spoke for itself. He seemed to be saying: “Please, I do not want you to know about this. I can’t talk about this. It is too painful.” Ever since then, I have never blinked when expressing solidarity with refugees worldwide. It is seared into my consciousness, my blood, into my bones.
I have seen the look elsewhere. When I asked my friend from Lebanon about what he had seen in the civil war, he simply replied: “Everything…everything”. His eyes shone, and I saw and felt the same tinges of anger and sadness. He was staring directly at me, his eyes steady. I did not push him after that. I had seen the look before.
At university, I experienced the look again: my friend from Germany was from the former GDR. He spoke of his elder family member, who was in the “secret police”. His eyes had the same knowing, the same endurance of immense suffering, the same desire for liberation, the desire for the unadulterated freedom of the human spirit. Here was a real-life analogy to Harry Potter: just as Voldemort was “he-who-must-not-be-named”, my friend would only use the phrase “secret police”. He could not bring himself to say Stasi, even though they had not existed for over fifteen years when we discussed this.
The UN documents about 60 million worldwide refugees. (2) This figure is almost certainly an under-estimate, as it doesn’t factor in massive numbers of political and economic migrants. A more thorough accounting might put the number at anywhere from 75-150 million: about 1-2% of the entire world’s population.
If the US and European politicians continue to use xenophobia and racism to promote hate against refugees, our entire civilization will crumble into the dustbin of history. Of that there can be no doubt. The Enlightenment project of emancipation and universal rights can’t be allowed to be rolled back because of anti-immigrant fear.
After the tragedy of the Vietnam War, the US response to calls for help was abysmal. However, the US did help resettle over one million people. The terrible events unfolding in North Africa and Southwest Asia deserve a similar response, starting now.
If there is any sense of goodwill and humanism left in world leaders, they must accept the UN Declaration of Human Rights (3) in its entirety and begin to build a framework for accepting millions of refugees into the “developed” world. The undeniable truth is that many of us in the US and Europe are descendants of immigrants and refugees ourselves. Despite the prejudices of the past, our ancestors were not turned away by tear gas, guns, batons, labyrinthine legal troubles, and barbed wire. Citizens in Europe and the USA must speak out and join hands in unity with refugees against the tides of intolerance, before it is too late.

Result 2: May manages to find a compromise with her BREXITEER clan to secure a win. Now we’re in the same mess with the same ingredients – as if that’s a comfort.
No Result as the vote is delayed or cancelled altogether as some seem to call for like the Julian Smith the Chief Whip.
In other words there is no resolution insight – what is indeed expected is that whatever the outcome we’re guaranteed further political haggling, division and by extension further political & economic woes for this country. If you’re wondering why we continue to see these convoluted processes take a stranglehold in resolving the BREXIT conundrum the answer is actually quite simple; there is a big chunk of MPs – you know the people that supposedly represent us – who are going into overdrive to avoid the people having a say on this deal either through a People’s Vote or a 2nd Referendum; call it a case of political influence from power brokers or corruption or purely issues of ideology the outcome is the same.
The good news is that they’ll eventually come to the conclusion that this nugget cannot be resolved without the voice of the people. The bad news is that time is NOT on our side in terms of the continued political & economic price we’re already paying as a country for these further delays as we clearly see including the news today about the stock market turmoil that wiped £56bn off FTSE 100, in worst day since Brexit vote. This is precisely why once this nugget is finally resolved we really need to have a close look into the accountably side of things – but more on that in good time. What’s important for us as citizens to understand is that we don’t really need to accept the narratives/timelines of the political establishment, rather we can pressure them for a vote right now. | 2019-04-26T15:53:35 | https://fidelitosblog.com/2018/12/06/the-mirage-that-is-the-11-12-brexit-vote/ |

Canberra Public Schools use Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education to help students to "Learn, Anywhere"
Editor's note: Today’s guest author is Daniel Bray, Program Manager, eLearning, for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Education Directorate. A former teacher, Bray initiated a districtwide digital program, which brought Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education into all Canberra public schools. The “Learn, Anywhere” program has since been recognized at the federal government level as a finalist for the national eGovernment Excellence awards for Project and Program Management. You can read full the full ACT case study here.
While we were thrilled at the prospect of helping students learn both inside and outside of the classroom, making this goal a reality came with it’s own unique set of challenges. Our first step was to bring all of Canberra Public Schools into a single, centralised network. We soon realised that our learning management system didn’t scale, and that many schools’ laptops were beyond obsolete. A group of our students, frustrated with computer log-in times, sent our CIO an assignment that recorded log-in times of up to 7 minutes on multiple laptops. That was one of our 'a-ha' moments, and since then, we've taken every effort to use student feedback to inform our overall program strategy.
When we realized that we needed to overhaul the district’s entire technology infrastructure, Chromebooks and Google Apps for Education (including Google Classroom) stood out as a clear choice for us.
Chromebooks were affordable and intuitive; Google Apps would let students work from anywhere, on any device; and Google Classroom would let teachers share assignments, track student progress and grade papers — all without printing a single piece of paper. In 2014, we ran a pilot test with 208 Chromebooks and Google Apps in four primary and secondary schools. During the pilot, the students using Chromebooks and Google Apps experienced super quick logon times and went from 2GB of network storage to enjoying unlimited Google Drive storage. As a Directorate, we couldn’t have been happier with the results: the pilot was a huge success for students, parents and teachers. Most importantly, Google was the choice selected by the schools. Not me. Not the CIO. The schools.
Based on that pilot, in 2015 we decided to roll out Google Apps accounts for all teachers and 32,000 students across the Canberra Public Schools. We also purchased 4,500 Chromebooks (and counting) for schools across the district.
Today, we equip students and teachers with a “Digital Backpack” that comes with Google Classroom and Google Apps, all available in one dashboard. Students get a single login and password for their Google accounts, which stays with them from primary through secondary school.
It’s amazing to watch student learning portfolios grow from year to year. Families can track student development and celebrate achievements, and teachers have a richer, more holistic view of student progress.
By adopting Chromebooks and Google Apps districtwide, we’ve greatly improved the way our students share ideas, give peer feedback and collaborate with each other, in real time. These intuitive and helpful technologies have helped us achieve and exceed our “Learn, Anywhere” vision.

Spoiler alert: Santa Clause isn’t real—at least, according to these celebrities. For decades, the jolly, red-suited and white-bearded man has ruled the holidays and the imagination of most children under the age of 10. You know the drill: Santa rides in on his reindeer, slips in through the chimney while everyone is sleeping, and leaves his presents before exiting with a bite of milk and cookies. The story is told a million times in a person’s childhood until they learn the catastrophic truth that Santa is fictional.
Even celebrities like Mila Kunis and Gina Rodriguez fall for the ploy. But, like most of us, they’ve lived through the deception to tell the tale. To understand how Hollywood found out about the biggest scandal to rock a third grader’s life, we rounded up stories from seven celebrities on how they learned that jolly old Saint Nicholas was a urban myth. Hear their hilarious stories, ahead.
Like a lot of us, Mila Kunis learned that Santa wasn't real from someone at school. In an interview with BuzzFeed, the actress revealed that an elementary school classmate spoiled the news by explaining how ridiculous a flying sleigh sounded. Though, not wanting his little sister to become jaded to Christmas magic, Kunis's older brother came up with the perfect solution to buy her one more year.
Gina Rodriguez spoiled the fun herself when she snuck around on Christmas Eve to find her dad putting "Santa's" presents underneath the tree. Though, from the sound of her story, her parents were relieved that they didn't have to keep the jig up.
"I knew at 4 or 5. I was so nosey. I would look in the closets," Rodriguez told "Entertainment Tonight." "I would look in the presents. I would stay up, and then I was like that ain't no Santa Clause, that's my daddy! They were like 'Child, don't worry.'"
From an early age, Justin Bieber's mom was "straight up and honest" with him about Santa. In an interview with AOL Music, the singer revealed that his mom explained to him that Santa wasn't real when he was very young, so he didn't feel lied to and betrayed when he was older.
"My mom always told me there wasn't a Santa," Bieber said. "This was her logic: She thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasn't real, that it would be like she was lying to me. And then when she told me about God, I maybe wouldn't believe her."
As an intuitive child, Nick Jonas always had an inkling in his mind that Santa wasn't real. In an interview with Music Choice, the singer revealed his skepticism when people told him that he would receive a lump of coal from Santa if he was bad.
"I was never given a lump of coal, thankfully," Jonas said. "Also, I never really believed in Santa Clause, to be honest. I wasn't as easy trick into thinking it was real, and that I would get the lump of coal if I was bad."
A lot of us can relate with Brad Pitt's feeling of "betrayal" when he learned that Santa wasn't real. In an interview with E! News, the actor recalled his frustration when he found out that Saint Nick was fictional.
"I'm not a real big on the whole Santa thing," Pitt said. "I thought it was a huge act of betrayal when I was a kid. I didn't like that. When I found out the truth, I was like, 'Why, why, why would you lie to me, why?'"
Mariah Carey is proof that there are some Santa believers out there. In an interview with BuzzFeed, the "All I Want for Christmas" singer outed herself as a Santa truist when she refused to fess up when she learned the holiday icon was fake.
"What are you talking about? Santa comes every year!” she said.
Little Mix member Jade Thirwall might have never known that Santa wasn't real if it wasn't for her dad's slip-up when she was a kid. In an interview with SiriusXM, the singer explained that every year her dad would dress up as Santa and put presents underneath the tree. It fooled her for a while, until one year she saw "Santa" wearing the same slippers her dad owned. Whoops!
"Dancing With the Stars" pro Witney Carson's parents were the ones who spoiled the Santa news for her. After seeing their daughter getting bullied for believing in the holiday legend, Carson's parents broke the news that wasn't was fictional—something she didn't take very well.
"I think I was about 8 or 9. I was actually devastated. I just loved Santa Claus. I believed in it so much, and my dad was like 'Honey, he's not real,'" she told "Entertainment Tonight." "It got to the point where people would still make fun of me at school because I still believed in Santa Claus. They're like, 'Sweetie, we have to tell you the truth because you’re getting made fun of at school.' They were like, 'He's not real,' and I was like 'No!'"
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Brandi Glanville's disappointment when she learned that Santa wasn't real in ninth grade (yes—when she was a freshman in high school) is the reason she's trying to keep the magic alive for her kids as long as she can.
"I'm telling my kids forever that he’s real," she told "Entertainment Tonight." "I was like in ninth grade [when I found out.] I was old and devastated. I learned from kids in school."
"Iron Man" actor Paul Bettany learned that Santa was fictional when he was sleeping on Christmas Eve one night when he woke up to his drunk dad ambling around, putting presents in his stocking.
“My drunk father [was] stumbling into my room and I woke up and I saw him stuffing stuff in my stocking and he went, ‘Ho, ho, ho,’" he said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" | 2019-04-20T21:12:08 | https://stylecaster.com/how-celebrities-found-out-santa-wasnt-real/ |
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Friday, January 25, 2019.
Regardless of a Texan resident's status financially or socially, divorce is a difficult process to go through. Not only is the status quo of a person's life torn up, but they could also take a big financial hit in addition to the emotional and mental stress. Celebrities sometimes have additional weight to deal with just by being in the eye of the public, too.
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Monday, January 7, 2019.
In the past, when a couple divorced in Texas or elsewhere, the general assumption was that the husband earned more money than his wife and therefore, the wife would receive spousal support (also known as alimony or spousal maintenance) from her ex-husband upon their divorce. However, as more married couples are both earning paychecks, it is increasingly common for a wife to pay spousal support to her ex-husband. When either or both of the spouses are Hollywood celebrities, it may be that the wife is a bigger star making more money, meaning the court will be more likely to award spousal support to the husband.
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Friday, October 5, 2018.
Many people in Texas who are dating or even who are already married may often be concerned about the possibility of getting divorced. This is understandable yet some new research sheds a different view on the trends in marriage and divorce, at least for spouses in some generations.
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Friday, September 21, 2018.
Older couples in Texas have been getting divorces at higher rates than ever before in recent years. This is a nation-wide trend. However, while nothing outwardly differentiates a gray divorce from an average divorce, these older divorcees will be facing some unique hurdles that younger couples will likely be able to avoid.

Even celebrities have to face the trials and tribulations of divorce, and they aren't always dealing with a clean split either. The news is currently following the divorce of Stormy Daniels from her husband Glendon Crain, who appears to have more than a few issues with his spouse.

When couples in Texas get divorced, you're left having to deal with new financial issues. You may need to figure out how to support a household while taking care of children and working a job, or you may need to decide how your spousal support payments will work. Lisa E. McKnight PC, is here to help you navigate these waters.
What property is exempt from asset division?
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Friday, May 18, 2018.
As a divorcing couple, you will need to be up to date with all of the latest Texan laws regarding divorce and property. Who will get the home? What about other big purchases like vehicles or electronics? Lisa E. McKnight, PC, will help you determine everything you need to know about the matter.
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Thursday, April 19, 2018.
For the average Texan, a divorce can finalize a long and grueling period of discontent. It can also signal the beginning of a long and challenging road ahead. While these sentiments are often true among the divorces of celebrities, the lives they live as a whole often make marital dissolutions more complex. How expensive can celebrity divorces really be, and can the average, working-class couple learn anything about the divorce stories of the famous?
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Tuesday, January 9, 2018.
At Lisa E. McKnight, PC, in Texas, we know that splitting up the property you and your spouse have acquired during your marriage can be very difficult and very complex, especially if you are a high net worth couple. In addition, since Texas is a community property state, you may be unclear as to what constitutes separate property as opposed to marital property.
On behalf of Lisa E. McKnight, P.C. posted in divorce on Friday, September 8, 2017.
From high profile divorces involving millions of dollars to low profile and low cost divorces, the rules in Texas law remain the same. Either the parties have to come to agreement on the equitable distribution of property, spousal support, child support and physical custody arrangements, or they will have to litigate over these matters in court. In other words, there is no royal road to divorce. Fortunately, at Lisa E. McKnight PC we specialize in Texas family law and know how best to help clients plan for divorce. | 2019-04-19T07:25:13 | https://www.lisamcknight.com/blog/divorce/ |
NOLANVILLE – A local family wants the City of Nolanville to take action months after their son died in floods.
Rebecca and Melvin Natal’s son would have been 12 years old on Thursday.
On June 17, Matthew Natal was playing with friends near the detention pond behind his neighborhood when he was swept away by flood waters.
First responders rescued Matthew after he got stuck in a drainage culvert but he passed away in the hospital a day later.
In a press conference of Thursday, the Natal family said the detention pond is a very dangerous area during heavy rainfall.
The Natal’s said the city has not taken measures to protect the public.
“It’s the responsibility of the city and the community to make sure that these areas are labeled dangerous so this is preventable,” Melvin Natal said.
The family is suing the developers of the detention pond, Jubilee Homes Incorporated and Killeen Majestic Homes, for negligence and gross negligence.
The suit claimed the developers did not safely install the drainage system and it did not have a fence or was covered.
It also stated the lack of safety precautions made it a danger to the community and ultimately caused Matthew to drown.
Although the family is not suing the City of Nolanville, they said the city should put up a hazard sign and a fence around detention pond.
Rebecca Natal said the area flooded three more times since her son passed away and she has seen several children play in the same area where Matthew did.
She said she doesn’t want another death to happen before something is done. | 2019-04-21T20:21:51 | https://www.thejdfirm.com/legal-resources/in-the-press/family-drowning-victim-wants-city-nolanville-take-action |
POINT ROBERTS, Wash. and DELTA, British Columbia, Feb. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the future of the retail cannabis market and companies competing for market share.
According to New Frontier Data, there are an estimated 272 million cannabis consumers globally, equivalent to 4% of the world‘s population; and more importantly, these consumers collectively spend approximately $356 billion each year on cannabis across legal and illicit markets.
With all this at stake, cannabis companies are positioning themselves in the retail markets with an acquisition strategy targeting premier retail brands.
In September 2018, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGC) announced the closing of the acquisition of Hiku Brands to strengthen their retail and brand portfolio.
“Leaves begin to turn. Canopy adds bold new brands. Ready for retail," commented Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "The Tweed and Vert brands we've built are now complemented with the likes of DOJA, Tokyo Smoke, Maitri, and Van der Pop, placing the taste-makers of tomorrow's cannabis industry on the same team."
In October 2018, Canopy announced the launch of a new brand for the recreational market in Canada; LBS. The LBS brand slogan - "Worth Its Weight In Gold" - is a reference to the care and quality put into the brand's products and also to its roots in California, the Golden State.
Using a similar strategy, Green Growth Brands, Inc. (GGB.CN) (GGBXF) plans to grow the world's premier cannabis retailing business. On January 30th the company announced it executed an arm's length definitive agreement to acquire control of ZLJT LLC & Arizona Natural Pain Solutions Inc., collectively referred to as "Desert Rose". Desert Rose holds a license for a vertically-integrated operation in Arizona, including retail, cultivation & infusion (kitchen).
In December 2018, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (NYSE: ACB) announced that it entered into an agreement to invest $10 million in High Tide Inc., a privately held, Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis and lifestyle accessories company.
High Tide is developing an expanding network across Canada of cannabis and cannabis accessory retail stores, as well as manufacturing and distributing branded cannabis accessories which positions it exceptionally well to capitalize on the Canadian adult-use cannabis industry. Through its two wholesale businesses, Famous Brandz and RGR Canada and the 19 existing Smoker's Corner retail locations, High Tide serves more than 170,000 retail customers per year.
Getting it right when it comes to retail and branding for the cannabis sector is Curaleaf Holdings (CSE: CURA) (OTCBB: CURLF). Curaleaf is the largest national retail dispensary brand in the US, as well as a premium mainstream cannabis brand available in multiple states and product formats. The company targeted retail channels include: E-commerce (DTC), e-retailers, the natural products/wellness sections of grocery stores and mass merchandisers, high-end spas, pet stores, vape shops, and dispensaries.
Just like any other sector, the cannabis consumer’s brand experience will lead to the success of each company. As they jockey for position, Green Growth Brands (GGB.CN) (GGBXF) is betting on a team that knows the retail market and all about ‘going for the gold’. | 2019-04-23T14:20:39 | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/going-gold-retail-cannabis-market-130000696.html |
Ok, so you are going for a 3 to 5 hour day ride with a group of NS Ramblers. You know that everyone in the group is or will be self sufficient for the day. That means you will be able to look after your personal safety, your physical needs and the needs of your bicycle for the day. Looking after your physical needs is a no brainer Food and water will power the engine of your bicycle. The engine is you.
Wear an approved bicycle helmet. Know and follow rules of the road. Ride single file.
Carry your Health card because you never know.
Jacket, lightweight for rain and/or wind.
Carry fluids. Water is best. Drink before you get too thirsty. Your body loses fluids even on a cold day.
snacking on. Nibble something at least every hour to keep your energy up.
All of your bicycle’s needs should have been tended to prior to leaving home. Chains should be lubricated. Brakes have been adjusted. Nuts and bolts have been tightened. Tires are inflated. Despite your due diligence, things will happen on the road and tools will be required to fix them.
This is what you carry in your saddle/pannier bags.
A Spoke Wrench to tighten spokes. Loose spokes are usually found when fixing a flat.
Zip ties and some Duct Tape. Red Green’s fix for everything.
Spare Inner Tube for your wheel and tire size to replace your first flat of the day.
Patch Kit to fix your second flat tire of the day. Either this or carry a second spare inner tube.
Tire Levers come in a pack of three but only two are actually needed.
A Mini Pump with both Presta and Shrader valve heads.
Rubber Gloves to keep your hands and everything else you touch free of grease, dirt and grime.
There are people who carry more tools and equipment, but at a minimum you should not leave home without the items listed here. Also, if you have one and most people do, carry a fully charged cell phone.
Bicycle Touring - What to take?
Suggestions submitted by Bob White.
Front (low rider) and rear racks, fenders, front & rear panniers, tool kit, two tubes, patch kit, pump, spare spokes, multi purpose bike tool, rack straps, two water bottles, bike light, front ( will double as camp light) and rear light, bell, spare tire, chain lube, rag, rain covers for panniers.
2 pairs of cycling shorts, cycling tights (can be part of rain gear), cycling gloves, cycling shoes, windproof breathable jacket (can be part of rain gear), helmet, 2 light shirts, and 1 warmer one, 3 pairs of socks,, one pair of wool socks, warmer cloths if spring / fall tour, 3 pairs of underwear, sweater for cool evenings, sandals, hat for warmth, sun protection.
Tent, including poles, pegs and waterproof full fly, ground sheet, sleeping bag, small pillow, good insulating air mattress pad, stove, fuel, matches, pot, small frying pan, mug, cup, and utensils, can opener, pot lifter, flipper, dish soap, dish towel and scrapper, food for emergency (can of tuna, ham, instant rice / potatoes, packaged soup, spices), towel, face cloth, deodorant, shampoo, $.25's (for showers), clothes soap, tooth bush & paste, comb, toilet paper, 1st aid kit, bug repellent, candle and personal medication.
Roll clothing tight and pack in Ziploc bags, keep weight to a minimum. Practice loading and unloading and ride the bike before tour - adjust cargo accordingly. Try to keep stuff in same location to save time searching for items - some cyclists have pannier "charts" for each pannier. I like a handlebar bag and keep my wallet, map, tools, spare tube and snacks handy. Wear bright coloured cloths and dress for the conditions. When "loaded", plan to cycle at a modest pace. If traveling a distance, leave early, rest during mid day heat. Set up camp as soon as arriving, and then have shower to avoid evening "chills". Eat well, and often - you will burn 600+ calories an hour - lots of fruits and veggies - they are power foods. Stay hydrated - this will reduce chance of leg cramps; I also take Tums, as I feel they have both calcium and help prevent leg cramps. I also take powdered Gatorade to replace lost electrolytes. If it rains all day, I look for a B&B / motel as I want to enjoy my tour. Book campsites ahead of time.
Before arriving at the campsite, I plan to stop at the last available outlet for fresh food for dinner, breakfast. Quite often we tour in groups; it is nice to coordinate meals with other cyclists, for both economy and variety.
Travel with a sense of humour and camaraderie; be sure to offer assistance to your fellow cyclists. | 2019-04-25T08:43:25 | http://www.nsramblers.ca/new-page-4/ |

Ladies! I love this post so much! I agree with all your choices! Tatiana, I need to read more of your books. I have a huge pile of Sarah Waters' books I need to get through. Catie, I LOVED Brooklyn, Burning because of this aspect.
I honestly have never heard the word "shipped" in that context until Rey used it yesterday. Now I've heard it three times. Is this the new fetch? OMG, I feel old.
Do it! Do it! Start with Fingersmith, Jo.
I'll recommend Melissa Scott for GLBT characters. Point of Hopes and Point of Dreams, along with incredible, very dense worldbuilding, has a very sweet G romance. Her SF (although some of the cyberpunk is now outdated) is excellent.
Love the lists! I am always on the lookout for good LGBT novels, and like Tatiana, I prefer those to feature characters who "just happen to be gay".
One of my favourite LGBT books (and also favourite in general) is What They Always Tell Us by Martin Wilson, a story of two brothers who have grown apart. I've also been eying Bill Konigsberg's Out of the Pocket, but there are so little reviews out there.
I definitely want to try Sarah Walters, Brooklyn Burning and maybe the Hex Hall series (sorry, love triangle is a big turn-off).
Nice post, ladies! I think this is such a great idea and I'm all for reading more books like these. I was going to suggest Gone, gone, gone by Hannah Moskowitz but I see Catie included it, yay!
Such a wonderful idea, ladies! My favorite three are Suicide Notes, Brooklyn, Burning and Gone, Gone Gone by Hannah Moskowitz.
Gone, Gone, Gone is such a special little book because, like Tatiana said, it isn't didactic or message-driven. It's just a warm story about two boys.
I need to read My Most Excellent Year soon.
I LOVE this post and the books listed.
I love this post ladies! You've listed so many books that I've read and loved, or have been wanting to read for some time. I'm of total agreement with Tatiana in that I prefer books that feature LGBT characters, but don't necessarily focus on their issues. I feel the issue books may be necessary, but much like African Americans, I'm sure the community would like to see themselves reflected in more books that aren't 'issue' books zeroing in on the potential trails of their communities.
Rachel Hawkins IS writing a spin off series of Hex Hall, but she hasn't said yet who it will focus on. Maybe Jenna, but unfortunately, I kind of doubt it. My bet's on a smaller character that was introduced in the third novel.
One of my absolute favorite reads this year has been The Miseducation of Cameron Post, which did deal with some LGBT issues of the lesbian main character, but I felt was more of a coming of age story that anyone could relate to.
"I feel the issue books may be necessary, but much like African Americans, I'm sure the community would like to see themselves reflected in more books that aren't 'issue' books zeroing in on the potential trails of their communities."
So agree, Heidi. I feel like I am already familiar with gay "issue," etc. I have compassion for their difficulties and have some understanding of them. And now I would rather see the minority characters as just people and not as representatives of their respective "issues."
@Tatiana--for "vastly entertaining fiction that consistently features lesbian heroines" try Nicola Griffith, either her Aud series or her sf (Ammonite, Slow River), depending on what you like. Or both. They're all excellent. | 2019-04-25T14:54:19 | http://www.thereadventurer.com/-home/three-heads-are-better-than-one-or-two-lgbt-pride-month |

From the best-selling author of Gratitude, On the Move, and Musicophilia, a collection of essays that displays Oliver Sacks's passionate engagement with the most compelling and seminal ideas of human endeavor: evolution, creativity, memory, time, consciousness, and experience.
Oliver Sacks, a scientist and a storyteller, is beloved by readers for the extraordinary neurological case histories (Awakenings, An Anthropologist on Mars) in which he introduced and explored many now familiar disorders—autism, Tourette's syndrome, face blindness, savant syndrome. He was also a memoirist who wrote with honesty and humor about the remarkable and strange encounters and experiences that shaped him (Uncle Tungsten, On the Move, Gratitude). Sacks, an Oxford-educated polymath, had a deep familiarity not only with literature and medicine but with botany, animal anatomy, chemistry, the history of science, philosophy, and psychology. The River of Consciousness is one of two books Sacks was working on up to his death, and it reveals his ability to make unexpected connections, his sheer joy in knowledge, and his unceasing, timeless project to understand what makes us human. | 2019-04-18T23:11:13 | https://www.overdrive.com/media/3255298/the-river-of-consciousness |

Whilst paying NMW may seem straightforward, it is far more complex than it seems. There are a number of factors which affect whether you pay NMW and it is easy for genuine errors to be made. This webinar gives information on some of the common mistakes and advice on how to avoid them.
Managing your employee administration is a business critical task. The UK’s comprehensive employment, payroll and data protection legislation requirements mean that employers can’t afford to be complacent when carrying out workforce administration.

The history of Dundalk, County Louth, will be aired in the classrooms of two American schools on Monday next as part of an innovative new online project developed by County Museum Dundalk.
Students of Dundalk High School and Dundalk Middle School in Maryland are participating in the first of six live internet webcasts on various aspects of life and work in Louth’s capital town during the 20th century.
The series of hour-long webcasts will focus primarily on the lives of people working in the local brewing, tobacco manufacturing and shoe manufacturing industries, as well the role and nature of education and entertainment in the Dundalk area.
The decision to involve students from the US forms part of the project’s key objective of assisting schools with respect to local history studies. Dundalk in Maryland was established in 1856 by Henry McShane, a native of County Louth who established the McShane Bell Foundry on the banks of the Patapsco River on the outskirts of Baltimore.
“The programmes are designed to assist schools with respect to local history studies with the preparation of a specialised worksheet dealing with each theme over the course of the broadcasts. The worksheets, willl feature photographs of the activity being discussed along with a unique insight into the dramatic changes in local life over the course of a lifetime”, he added. These worksheets are available by clicking here.
Pam Cline, Librarian and Technology Liaison at Dundalk High School said students were very excited about the connection with their name sake town in Ireland.
“It will be interesting to see what we have in common with the Irish Dundalk. Maybe we will do a history of our Dundalk so that they can know what we are like. We are so looking forward to working with Brian on this project. Our students are anxious to create a video with their sister city”, added Ms. Cline.
Mr. Lee continued: “I believe that internet radio is the future and that this is a great way of making history interesting and relevant to a new generation. We are hoping to generate an atmosphere of a fireside conversation, making it an enjoyable experience for our guests and, of course, our listeners”.
All programmes will be broadcast from 1.30p.m. -2.30 p.m.
Further information on the live history project is available from Brian Walsh at 042 9392999, or on the museum website: www.dundalkmuseum.ie. | 2019-04-26T15:43:14 | http://dundalkmuseum.ie/main/news-and-events/116/ |

I used to hate the Barbershop. My dad would take me to the Greenhills barbershop near Green Lanes and I remember the mint green walls and the brightly lit barber pole that looked like a peppermint candy cane. I guess I didn’t like having to be constrained onto a mechanical seat which was augmented by a wooden block since I was a kid, and have to trust a stranger with scissors for 30 minutes. I always thought he was going to cut my ear off.
I grew up and became more conscious of how I looked and cut my hair. Being in the entertainment industry, I got my hair cut by a lot of amazing stylists, but no one came close to the reliability I had with a barber named Jojo.
Jojo knew me. He knew my work, and fondly called me “direk.” I would schedule my day around my appointment with Jojo, and he would make me feel like I’m a VIP client. He’s conservative in suggesting new styles, but liberal with his compliments after he finishes with my hair. No matter how stupid I feel after asking him to give me an undercut or worse, a shaved head, he always ends our session with a genuine “Gwapo na ulit, direk!” He probably says that to all his clients, but he makes me believe it.
You can just imagine how difficult it was to find a new barber when I moved from Quezon City to Makati. I now understand why my Dad discouraged me from having my hair cut by anyone other than a barber. Good thing I stumbled upon Back Alley Barbershop.
JPV: First of all, who are the “Dudes” behind Back Alley, how did you come together and why?
BA: Owens, being a frequent traveler to Manila, and the other founder, being a frequent traveler to New York and London for work, laid out their thesis in what can work with their interests in mind: Why don’t we open a barbershop? The reply–Why not?
JPV: Back Alley, apart from the tonsorial service, is known for the overall vibe. Tell us about this distinct atmosphere.
BA: As with our services, the overall vibe is simple and straightforward. We define our “old school” aesthetic in that manner. Our guiding mindset is the #BetterDude concept. From carefully selected reading materials and music, and complementary visuals and drinks, we believe the vibe can help accomplish that mindset for our clientele. Also, the vibe is not just for our customers, but for our barbers as well. We also believe that if barbers are better equipped with great tools and products, they can work even better. We also familiarized our barbers with processes that better utilize these.
JPV: What do you think Men should look for in a Barber?
BA: A barber should be the conduit for men to accomplish a specific aesthetic that he wants to achieve. As the customer instructs the chosen style he wishes to be done, the barber should simply explain the process back to him. A barber is also honest in deciding if a chosen style is suited for the dude being serviced. By giving this sense of familiarity, a barber gains trust between him and the customer.
JPV: Any community shop takes pride in a “special.” Tell us about yours. What sets BA apart?
BA: Our approach is providing a service and vibe that are simple and straightforward but delivered well. This can be reflected in the processes of our services (a cut, shave, and massage) especially with our Hungover Treatment — which is a combination of alternating hot and cold towels and products that essentially wake up the skin, then finished with a comprehensive massage that leaves a dude refreshed and rejuvenated. The vibe that we put in place complements the simplicity of the services we provide. We have carefully chosen visuals, music (played through streaming our playlists on Spotify or by playing selected vinyls) and beverages (Our coffee is brewed by using an Aeropress to simply produce a fresh cup) to help maintain that straightforward atmosphere.
JPV: It’s pretty gutsy to put up such a conceptual shop that’s relatively hidden from the main streets of Makati. What are you guys redefining?
BA: We believe a neighborhood is a foundation for every community. We believe our shop is a place for camaraderie, an aspect that every community strives to develop. Apart from that, our location helps us set the tone of our vibe — if delivered well, can be different if it was set within the confines and convenience of a mall.
JPV: One step into your shop, and immediately we know you want us to either stay long, or come back… are we looking at more Back Alleys in the future? What’s the dream?
BA: We’ll definitely be expanding operations in the near future. We’re looking forward to partnerships that will enable us to better promote the #BetterDude mindset.
JPV: What is a Better Dude?
Rolan, my regular barber, likes to finish our session by wrapping a warm damp towel on my face. He removes it and props my seat up and shows me his work, lightly massaging me on the back saying “Gwapo na lit, sir!” I leave the shop genuinely feeling better than when I had come in.
The relationship between a man and his barber is profound and complex. It’s not just tonsorial, but also therapeutic. Making you feel like a million bucks, boosting your ego and patting your back is a carefully studied craft for these barbers. They have it down to a science–a skill they probably inherited from their own fathers or uncles. They make their time with you so sacred that you feel like royalty. A barbershop becomes a sanctuary, a rehabilitative cave, a cocoon for a man that needs his esteem restored. In the barbershop, at least for the hour or two you spend there, you are king. | 2019-04-22T04:02:09 | http://bertoinbrogues.com/better-dude-movement/ |

All SMC reset instructions require shutting down your Mac first. If your Mac fails to shut down, try pressing and holding the power button until the Mac shuts down, which usually takes 10 seconds or so.
Press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds.
Connect the MagSafe power adapter to your Mac and to a power outlet.
On the built-in keyboard (this will not work from an external keyboard), simultaneously press and hold the left shift, control, and option keys while you press the power button. Release all keys at the same time.Press the power button to start your Mac.
If you have a Mac Pro that isn’t responding to the normal SMC reset as described above, you can force a manual SMC reset by using the SMC reset button located on the Mac Pro’s motherboard.
Unplug the Mac’s power cord.
Open the Mac Pro’s side access panel.
Just below the Drive 4 sled and adjacent to the top PCI-e slot is a small button labeled SMC. Press and hold this button for 10 seconds.
Close the Mac Pro’s side door.
Start your Mac by pressing the power button.Now that you have reset the SMC on your Mac, it should be back to operating as you expect. If the SMC reset didn’t fix your problems, you can try combining it with a PRAM reset. Although the PRAM works differently than the SMC, it can, depending on your Mac model, store a few bits of information that the SMC uses. | 2019-04-21T08:43:29 | http://book.kmov.org/tag/apple/ |

Everyone knows that when you look good, you feel good – it’s just human nature. So it is only natural that you want to update your wardrobe with the latest looks, and have your family looking smart 'n' stylish. Of course clothing yourself and your family is a necessity as well so it is important that you can afford to replace clothes when the kiddos outgrow them (which they seem to do at an alarming rate) and ensure everyone has something nice to wear for special occasions without breaking the budget. Unfortunately it is easier than ever to have a budget blowout when shopping for clothes because you want the latest trends and your children want the same brands their friends are wearing - but prices are only going up. That is why you need these tips to help you save when it comes time to update and maintain your family’s wardrobe.
Avoid department stores at all costs Paying retail price at a department store is one of the most expensive ways to shop for anything and clothes are no exception. Look for recycled clothing options such as op shops – one person’s wardrobe cleanout could be your wardrobe makeover. Also try and shop at discount stores which often have the same staple clothing items, but at a fraction of the price. If you’re lucky enough to have easy access to a factory outlet shopping strip then you may be able to pick up those brand name clothes, new, for a bargain because the line has been discontinued or they have a minor imperfection. You don’t even need to leave the house to shop for recycled clothing, just take a look in your wardrobe. Instead of shelling out for another pair of pants for your son because he’s worn through the knees again, sew or iron on knee patches and get more wear out of the same pair. It is also much cheaper to resole a pair of shoes which have been worn down than to buy new. Even that piece of clothing with a stubborn stain can be transformed into a new wardrobe essential with some clothes dye or restructuring it - make it a short sleeved blouse or shorts instead of pants.
Online bargains We all know that most things are cheaper when you buy online so surfing for your clothing not only saves you time, gas and money, often retailers offer great discounts. If you’re looking for even cheaper options, sites such as eBay sell a range of clothing items, often in new or gently used condition, and offer a great deal on price. When buying online just make sure you check the postage costs aren’t going to outweigh your savings, and that the store has a flexible returns policy if the items doesn’t fit you or your expectations from the image on screen.
Private sales There are also plenty of ways to avoid the stores all together and shop privately within your community. Often garage sales are a way for your neighbours to clear out their closets and with the main aim of a garage sale being to downsize, many sellers will bundle clothing items for low prices to clear them. Similarly, community fetes and swap meets may be raising funds for the community or a cause, but they are also a great way to find opportunities to recycle someone else’s unwanted clothing into a new item for yourself or your family.
See us back at Tightwad tomorrow for part two of this helpful guest post!
Hey nice to see an Aussie guest post. I've been Op shopping for a while now and wonder why I spent the money on new things. Good post. Thanks Tightwad for sharing it.
Thanks for your feedback! I agree Op Shopping is one of the best thing ever! You can get brands at a bargain and it is good for the environment! | 2019-04-24T15:46:08 | http://www.tightwadblog.com/2010/10/ways-to-save-your-wardrobe-part-one.html |
"I Am an Actress" returns for a World Premiere production after a critically acclaimed workshop run at Fertile Ground 2017. The play is a trip down a dark, rocky, but also funny memory lane written and performed by one of Portland's pioneering trans performers, Jane Comer. Watch Jane overcome a severe speech impediment to become what she was born to be... an actress. Come see the story of two women breaking out of the boxes the world tried to put them in: Joyce, who wanted to be the last thing the world expected her to be, perfectly normal. And her daughter, Jane, who is...an actress. | 2019-04-24T20:32:30 | https://www.boxofficetickets.com/bot/wa/event?id=333923 |
A version of Carnegie Mellon University's Libratus, which in January became the first artificial intelligence to defeat top poker pros at Heads-Up, No-Limit Texas Hold'em, will play six top Chinese players for a $290,000 winner-take-all purse.
The 36,000-hand exhibition featuring a different AI, named Lengpudashi or "cold poker master," will take place April 6–10 on the island province of Hainan, China.
The human players, called Team Dragons, will be led by Alan (Yue) Du, a Shanghai venture capitalist and amateur player who won the $5,000 Buy-In, No-Limit Hold'em category of the 2016 World Series of Poker.
"I am very excited to take this new kind of AI technology to China," said Tuomas Sandholm, professor of computer science and co-creator of Libratus/Lengpudashi with Ph.D. student Noam Brown. "I want to explore various commercial opportunities for this in poker and a host of other application areas, ranging from recreational games and business strategy to strategic pricing, cybersecurity and medicine.
"This is an exhibition, not a match, challenge or competition," he added. "We are running a relatively small number of hands, so this is not a scientific experiment like the Brains vs. AI competition in January."
In Brains vs. AI, Libratus played 120,000 hands in 20 days at Pittsburgh's Rivers Casino against professional players who specialize in Heads-Up, No-Limit Texas Hold'em. The large number of hands was intended to ensure that the outcome of the competition would be statistically significant and prove that any victory was not a matter of luck. At the end, Libratus led the human players by a collective $1,766,250 in virtual chips.
In Hainan, Team Dragon and Lengpudashi will play for 10 hours a day, with the human players each playing two hands at a time. As with Brains vs. AI, the Lengpudashi AI will run on the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges computer throughout the event.
Poker is of particular interest to computer scientists because it is an imperfect information game — no player knows precisely which cards the other players have and all players must be able to both bluff and recognize their opponents' bluffs. Business negotiation, military strategy, cybersecurity and medical treatment planning are the types of applications that could benefit from automated decision-making using this kind of AI.
Sandholm recently founded Strategic Machine Inc., which has exclusively licensed Libratus and other technologies from his CMU laboratory. Strategic Machine targets a broad set of applications: poker and other recreational games, business strategy, negotiation, cybersecurity, physical security, military applications, strategic pricing, finance, auctions, political campaigns, and medical treatment planning. The company is supplying the Lengpudashi AI for the exhibition.
The Lengpudashi vs. Team Dragons exhibition was organized by Kai-Fu Lee, a CMU alumnus and former faculty member, who is CEO of Sinovation Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in startups in China and the United States. He is a former executive of Apple, Microsoft and Google, and is one of the most prominent figures in China's internet sector.
Sinovation and Hainan Resort Software Community are hosting the exhibition. The event will take place in a software park/resort in Haikou City. Video of game play will be streamed via almost 30 broadcasting partners, and total views of the streaming video in China are expected to reach 30 million over the five-day event. | 2019-04-23T16:39:38 | https://www.csd.cs.cmu.edu/news/carnegie-mellon-ai-takes-chinese-poker-players |
We woke up to a cold morning in the #Keys. We ventured out with David and Ellen and had a great day. We caught plenty of #yellowtail #snapper as well as some nice #kingfish. Wind came out of the north at around 17 knots to start the morning but dropped out throughout the day to around 8 knots. | 2019-04-23T10:06:36 | http://fearlessfishing.net/blog/2019/01/24/fearless-fishing-report-for-jan-21-islamorada-fl-2/ |
"Don't be a "d--- sheep," my father told me this so early and often in my life that I thought the word "sheep" started with a "d." But I didn't miss the counsel that I should think for myself and not blindly follow what others, especially my peers, were doing. So I grew up without much appreciation for what it meant to be a follower – or for the value of good leaders.
When I started to study Christian Science and to probe the Bible more deeply, I gained an understanding of God as a shepherd who would care for and guide His sheep. One day I came across the definition of sheep in Mary Baker Eddy's book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures": "Innocence; inoffensiveness; those who follow their leader" (p. 594).
This gave me a new insight into the role of sheep. Being a follower didn't seem so bad if it involved the qualities of innocence and inoffensiveness. I saw that my dad's counsel was against blindly following the wrong leader, as Jesus warned: "If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
Blindness, which can mean holding so firmly to our own opinions that we can't see others' perspectives, is not good in either a follower or a leader. And since we all have opportunities to be both followers and leaders, we need to know how and when to do both.
Doris Kearns Goodwin has written much about leaders and leadership. In her latest book, "Team of Rivals: The political genius of Abraham Lincoln," she sets out much of what makes a good leader.
In an interview Ms. Goodwin was asked, "What personal qualities made Lincoln such a successful leader?" She answered in part, "Lincoln had a quiet self-confidence that allowed him to surround himself by people better known than he was.... Lincoln also had the ability to absorb and listen well to what people were feeling and thinking. He could see both sides of the issue" (July 6, www.forbes.com).
When a situation cries out for good leadership, it also demands followers. It's obvious that humility is required to be a follower, but it takes even more humility to be an effective leader. Certainly it means dropping selfish ambition for the rewards of leadership and adopting the ambition to serve.
Throughout the Hebrew Bible, great leaders such as Moses and the prophets frequently referred to themselves as servants of the Lord. This positive sense of servitude was instilled in Jesus from his early Jewish training, and he said plainly, "Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant" (Matt. 20:27).
Leadership involves being servant both to God and to our fellow human beings. In essence, the leadership role is far from being exalted above others. Mary Baker Eddy, the Leader of Christian Science, wrote, "The true leader of a true cause is the unacknowledged servant of mankind ("Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896," p. 266). Thinking of oneself as a servant instead of a master is essential to having faithful followers. When this attitude of serving is exhibited in a leader, his or her right to authority is upheld by divine law.
The ultimate goal for both leaders and followers, I believe, is to see God's kingdom come on earth and for us to find our direction to do God's will. While the journey may seem difficult, we can retain our inspiration by looking to the example of Jesus, the greatest leader of all time.
It is unfeigned love for both God and our fellow humans that makes a good leader, caring for the flock he or she is to guide. And the "sheep" find comfort as they follow their leader. Their innocence and freedom from taking or giving offense will save them from the wrong leadership, even as it saves the leaders from mistakes and failures. In scriptural terms, we are all taught (led) by God.

Think about a case while you are watching any high-speed sports like football or so. Your favourite team is on the way to do a Goal, and a player from the defence suddenly applied a long shoot and finally made a goal! But you did not see notice how it has happened!
In such case, you need to get the things clear with the help of replays. In case you are streaming the football match online then you need to waste your time in rewinding the same. After all, nobody likes to watch in such a way! In this post, I will be sharing with you all one of my latest Vivitek H658F multifunction full HD home projector review.
It recently happened with me about some days ago during the world cup 2018 matches. I had gone to a bank to do some necessary paperwork. Unluckily I have reached there during their lunch hours, and I do not want to go back hence decided to sit and wait there for the bank staffs to join back their work.
There was a big LCD screen hanged over a wall. I am watching the same to spend my time. I saw a news channel had been tuned up on the same and they were displaying some video clippings of the world cup match. Now I think it is one among the semifinals if I can remember well.
An old man was also sitting next to me and also waiting for the bank’s lunch period to be over. We have some discussions together while seated with each other and also watching the TV in between. In between watching the video clippings of the football match, he told me that sometimes it is hard for him to identify how a goal has been done.
He said his eyes are all perfect, but it might be due to the camera that it cannot catch every single movement of the game. Further, I replied to him about the fact that it is not because of the camera used to capture the sports games. Since I know, they are using some high tech cameras to record their game footage.
I cleared him about the fact that it happens with the technology of display that we are using in-out end. I gave him an example to suppose he has a standard definition TV, but he is watching any 4k content on the same. So he will not be able to identify the details and clarity behind the actual video output and what his TV can display.
Therefore every single thing matter! He feels satisfied after listening to me, and we both shared out contact number with each other. After three days I got his call. He asked me for my help with buying a good projector for him so that he can enjoy sports matches on the same.
Finally Vivitek H658F Home Projector!
Further, I have taken two days to search for a good projector for him as per his needs and finally suggested H658F DLP LED projector. Also, I would like to share with you the fact that I was present there on the day he got his projector delivered at home. I so want to help him in general setup or so.
And yes I was in my secret mission to review the product as well! Next, I am going to share with you all the details about my personal experience while unboxing and testing the projector for some time. So let us get started!
The projector can able to display a projection output of different sizes ranging from 60 inches to 300 inches. The Vivitek H658F projector needs a regular power supply of 100-240V AC at 50/60 Hz. The H658F portable home projector is fully compatible with all the multimedia contents that support an aspect ratio of 16:9.
The standard resolution of the projector is 1920 x 1080p, i.e. Full HD. But the hardware is capable of projecting an output display with a maximum resolution of up to 1920 x 1200p. The maximum brightness of the projector is about 3300 lumens, and it delivers the highest output display having a contrast ratio of 15000:1.
Hence you do not need to turn off the lights every time you use the projector. Nor you need to shut off the window curtains to make the environment darker and projector friendly like what we do with the old type of projectors. All thanks to the advanced projection technology used in the same.
H658F is based on DLP projection technology. The projection devices include an internal display chip of Texas Instruments. It adds the digital optical processing technology for projection to the projector. You can also use the Vivitek H658F projector to project any 3D video clip or movies.
The projector machine can project a good quality output display. It performs well in all types of surrounding environment light. If we talk about the colour production, then H685F is based on RGBYCW six-segment colour wheel.
Hence it is having a broad colour spectrum and can deliver higher colour saturation. It can do a great job of projecting the composite colours more realistic and brighter at the same time enhances the accuracy of natural colours.
The H658F smart small-sized projector is made to work in different modes. You can use the H658F LED smart projector in normal mode, economic mode, and intelligent power saving mode. Hence it ensures to save much of the electricity bill for its users. The H658F multimedia DLP projector is certified with ISO14000. Also, the compliance with ROHS is making Vivitek H658F the device as a real energy saving projector.
The lamp of the projector can consume a total power of 210W. Also, the lamp is made for long-lasting usage. The company is claiming that in normal mode the projector can be used for up to 5000 hours. In the case of economic mode, the lamp will last for more than 7000 hours. If you are using the projector every time in intelligent power saving mode, then it can last for an approximate 10000 hours.
In my review test of the H658F intelligent multimedia projector, I have found that the projector is producing an average noise. I commonly get the similar experience from other different projectors. Also when I check out the company metrics regarding the noise from the projector in use, then I got two metrics regarding the same.
It is 32dB if you are using the projector in normal mode and 29dB in case you are using the projector in economic mode. All in all, H658F is not a noisy projector to disturb your normal activities.
Not only the surrounding environment but the H658F projector is having the capability to take care of the cleanliness of itself. Yes, you do not need to effort much in removing any dust. Nor required to spend much money in the maintenance of the Vivitek H658F projection hardware unit.
All because the hardware of the projector is designed so well that it has a dust filter. The projection machine is sealed completely to avoid fumes. It resists dust to settle or disturb the internal and optical components of the projector. The sturdy body of H658F is made up of non-slip plastic material and does not leave any fingerprints.
Underneath the projector, there are three legs provided with rubber pads. They can help the projector hardware to hold itself in one place without any possibility of the skid and can bear a shock. You can also use the projector’s legs to control the height of the projection output display.
You can control almost all the functionalities of the Vivitek H658F projector directly via the device. No need to use the remote controller as well. There are many buttons provided at its upper back portion to control the basic operations of the projector device.
There is a separate button provided on H658F intelligent DLP LED projector to make the projector work in eco mode. On both, the sides of the projector large-sized heat dissipating grills have been provided. It will ensure you that the product will not get heated even if you will use the product for a long interval of time. You can quickly set up and debug the H658F projector whenever required.
In the user interface of the H658F portable LED projector, you can use the projector settings options. There are many options for you to adjust all the projector parameters. It is required whenever you will move the projector or install it for the first time. You can set keystone correction from there as well. The good part is you can choose one from the different options of colour modes suitable for various multimedia needs.
There is also a digital zoom function inside the menu options. One important thing, in case of any doubt you can also do check the necessary details about the projector from the information section inside the menu. It will help you to know the current status of the projector resolution, signal source, lamp usage time, and so on.
The H658F multimedia smart compact projector supports zoom functionality. You can use a zoom knob provided at the upper right face of the projector to extend the standard projected output display size by a factor of 1.2X.
With the use of this feature, you can project a display of up to 300 inches either on a wall or a good quality projector screen. The focal length and an aperture range of the H658F DLP Full HD projector are f=19.0-22.65mm and F=2.42-2.62 respectively.
The projection ratio of the H658F small sized home theatre intelligent projector is about 1.28-1.56:1. You can install the projector at a distance of up to 1.2m to 7.7m to project a display output of size 60 to 300 inches. H658F smart projection device supports a keystone correction feature of vertical ±40 degrees.
The projector hardware is capable of supporting videos of different formats like NTSC, PAL, SECAM, 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. There is an inbuilt speaker of 2W built inside the projector unit. So up to an extent, you do not need any separate external speakers since the audio quality of the Vivitek H658F projector itself is louder and clear.
First, we will have a look at the input interface options provided on the H658F intelligent multimedia projector hardware. It possesses two HDMI v1.b ports, an S-Video port, mini audio in jack, a composite video port, and a VGA input port. So ultimately you have many options that you can use to connect the projector device with any other multimedia sources. It will help you to enhance the productivity, and use of the H658F DLP LED projector.
Next, if we have a look on the output interface ports provided on H658F smart home projector by the Vivitek then we have a VGA out and audio out mini-jack. Also, there is one USB port and an RS232 port provided on the H658F 1080P home theatre projector working as control interfaces for the device.
H658F is a nicely designed projector device. It has a white coloured body and rounded curves on its corners can give a premium look to the overall look of the projector. The approximate dimensions of the Vivitek H658F projector unit are 244 x 105 x 331mm considering its width x height x length respectively. Also the projection hardware weights to about 2.6 kilograms.
Many e-commerce sites are offering a return guarantee of 7 days and an exchange guarantee of 15 days. Vivitek is offering a manufacturer warranty of 24 months on the H658F multi-function LED projector. To be noted, the lamp is under warranty only for six months or 100 hours whichever is earlier.
Also, the company is claiming to provide a good after sales service to their customers. You can take the help of Vivitek service points and service centres. However, I am not having any experience about their service so I will not comment anything on it.
The pictures look more vivid and brighter. All in all the projector increases the amount of colour saturation by improving the mid-tones. Distinction and transition on high-resolution videos are natural. The laying of each colour can be displayed very clearly in the picture.
Other than LCD screens the dynamic performance of H658F smart portable projector is different. Mainly it can perform very well to display every detail in high-speed sports. Without any adjustments, the projector can show both the white and black colours very well.
And of course, the small size of the H658F LED multimedia projector can make it pretty impressive to be used on both homes and Offices. You can quickly set it up in any part of your room or kitchen and enjoy big screen Full HD display. Vivitek H658F can also be a good option if you are planning to set up a home theatre in your home. | 2019-04-24T00:52:33 | http://www.myfirstprojector.com/vivitek-h658f-projector-review/ |

“Germany was the main destination of Iran’s pistachio, as it imported 3,063 tons of pistachio worth $40 million from Iran, in the first five months of the current fiscal year (started March 21).
Over 61% of Iran’s exported pistachios were dispatched to Germany, Iraq, Kazakhstan, the UAE, India, Spain and Russia, Trend News Agency reported.
However, the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration’s official statistics indicate that Iranian pistachio exports’ value decreased by 40% to earn $198 million and the volume of exports also decreased by 45% to reach 19,000 tons during the five months, compared with the same period of last year..
“Land under pistachio cultivation in Iran is currently close to 350,000 hectares while during the 2000s, the figure stood at more than 400,000 hectares,” he was quoted as saying by Eranico.
Head of Iran Pistachio Association, Mohsen Jalalpour estimates this year’s production to stand around 230,000 tons, of which some 150,000 tons worth $1.5 billion will be exported to register an 11% and 25% growth in weight and value respectively compared with last year when 135,000 tons worth around $1.2 billion were exported.
According to Jalalpour, who is a former chairman of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Iran is the second biggest producer of pistachio after the US and top exporter of the commodity. | 2019-04-24T04:23:52 | http://zarrinfoods.online/biggest-buyer-iranian-pistachios/ |
Propane gas is a mobile fuel and doesn’t require special plumbing or installation, making propane patio heaters a versatile and convenient way to heat your outdoor space.
They have the same instant heat output as natural gas heaters and can be made permanent if a gas line is installed by a licensed professional.
Free-standing propane patio heaters bring functionality & style to any outdoor space!
The power for a gas patio heater is measured in British Thermal Units, or BTU’s for short. BTU’s tell you how much heat a gas appliance will provide (the higher the BTU’s, the higher the heat output).
Propane provides an average of 2,500 BTU’s per standard cubic foot, making it a very efficient fuel source.
A typical full-size propane patio heater will output 40,000 BTU's and will distribute heat to an area up to 20' in diameter (314 sq ft).
The exact heating range and output will depend on the design of the patio heater, the wind conditions, and the temperature outside.
Propane patio heaters are the most expensive to use, compared to natural gas and electric styles.
The cost of propane gas is measured in price per gallon. The average portable propane patio heater houses a 20lb propane tank or about 4.7 gallons of fuel.
A 20lb propane tank can last up to 10 hours and costs between $15 - $20 to fill up, making the average cost per hour between $1.5 - $2. A typical 40,000 BTU patio heater will cost about $1.70 per hour to use.
A 20 lb propane tank holds approximately 430,000 BTUs of liquid propane. If a heater has a BTU capacity of 40,000 BTUs per hour, the propane tank will last approximately 10.75 hours (430,000 / 40,000 = 10.75).
There are two main types of ignitions for gas patio heaters - manual ignitions and automatic ignitions.
Manual ignitions use a control knob to control the flow of gas to the patio heaters. Some manual ignitions have a push button that creates a spark to light the gas, while others have a pilot light that needs to be lit manually.
Mounted heaters use automatic ignition systems that will ignite your heater with the simple flip of a switch or press of a button!
Automatic ignitions use electricity to control and ignite the gas flow to the patio heaters. The patio heaters can be controlled with an on/off switch or with a hand-held remote control.
Both ignition types have built-in safety systems that are designed to shut off the gas flow to the patio heaters if the flame goes out and can’t be relit.
Before installing propane patio heaters, always consult the owner’s manual to find out the recommended clearance to combustibles (things that catch fire) to determine the proper location for the heaters.
Always maintain these clearances and only use gas patio heaters in an open outdoor space with plenty of air flow.
For the safest options, look for patio heaters that are UL approved and CSA certified. These approvals ensure each heater has undergone rigorous testing to verify that they are a reliable and safe heating appliance.
Before using your propane patio heater, read the installation manual thoroughly, so you know how to set it up and use it properly.
When you’re finished using your patio heater, always turn the control knob off, disconnect the propane tank, and store the heater upright in a sheltered area away from the elements.
Always keep heaters out of reach of children and never leave your patio heaters on unattended.
Take care when handling a propane tank to avoid damaging the valves. Follow the manufacturer instructions when filling, transporting, installing, and using a propane tank.
Always inspect all connections and hoses, before each use. Never overfill a propane tank with fuel.
Propane tanks should be stored upright. Keep them outside, in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area.
Propane tanks stow neatly away in the base of free-standing patio heaters. Always store spare propane tanks a safe distance from heaters that are in use.
Spare propane tanks should be kept a minimum of 20 feet away from any patio heaters that are in use. This will ensure that the spare tanks don’t come into contact with the patio heater’s intense heat, preventing a fire or explosion from happening.
The molecules in propane slow down as its temperature decreases, so when it gets colder outside, the pressure in your propane tank may drop.
To maintain optimal performance of your propane tank, make sure it’s equipped with a pressure regulator, keep the tank full, and store it away from snow and ice.
Propane gas is odorless on its own, so a distinct smell is added to it to help you identify its presence. The scent is very strong and unpleasant, similar to rotten eggs.
If you smell propane gas, you may have a gas leak. Always refer to the owner’s manual for help detecting and repairing a leak.
A qualified service technician must determine your propane system is completely leak-free before you use any propane-fueled appliances.
If you find the source of the leak, make sure the gas is turned off and disconnected from the heater, before attempting to fix it.
Always follow the manufacturer requirements for testing, repairing, and servicing the heater. A licensed professional must repair your heaters. Do not attempt to do it yourself.
To repair the leak, gas lines, hoses, fittings, and/or connections may need to be replaced. Once all leaks have been repaired, the patio heater will be ready for use.
Gas patio heaters are easy to clean and maintain. To keep your heater fully functional, inspect all connections before each use to make sure they are clean and in proper working order.
Extreme temperatures and weather conditions can cause unnecessary wear and tear to your patio heaters. You can prevent this and extend the life of your portable patio heaters by storing them in a garage, shed, or barn when they’re not in use.
Protect your patio heater with a durable, weather-resistant cover to extend its life & keep it safe from critters & inclement weather.
Covers are also available for portable patio heaters and are recommended to prevent small insects and spiders from nesting in the heaters. Make sure your patio heaters have completely cooled before covering or storing them.
Before cleaning your patio heater, make sure the gas is turned off and fully disconnected. Never disassemble the heater and only clean the outside surface.
Follow the cleaning guidelines provided in the owner’s manual. The manual will tell you how often to clean the heater, along with acceptable products and cleaning techniques to use.

Yesterday I had an opportunity to attend the Deep and Wide one day conference with Andy Stanley. Here are a few of my notes.
This will solve every marriage problem.
This is how you become a good employee.
It’s less complicated but way more demanding.
What was a catalyst that caused you to grow in your relationship with Christ?
Your church’s discipleship model is perfectly designed to produce the results you’re currently getting. If you can’t tell me how you are doing it there is no way you can measure it.
An effective discipleship model requires an accurate definition of disciple. A follower of Jesus is one who demonstrates – one another behavior.
What grows prevailing faith? What fuels one-another love?
5 Faith Catalyst that the church must focus on to produce disciples.
Providential relationships – When we see God’s faithfulness in someone else’s life it is easier to to trust him with ours.
Pivitol Circumstances The Churches responsibility is to have a community so strong, that when someone in the congregration goes through a trial there is someone that can care for them and interpret it for them.
Personal Ministry Involvment – Our primary concern is engagement, not attendance.
We measure these 4 things.
I want to build a church of people with great faith and great love.

A post christian culture has “no to low tolerance” for faith based answers to fact based questions. Today we live in the information age and misinformation age. People have instant access to undermine the faith. The right message with the wrong approach yields the wrong results.
When you care about someone you’re never content to simply make your point.
When you care about someone, your goal is to make a difference.
With each passing year, the percentage grows of people who believe that those that live by the principles of the Bible are religous extremists. (This is the message on college campuses) If you can pull one card away the whole faith comes crashing down. It’s a house of cards.
What should we do? The foundation of our faith is an event! Period. Paul said, If Jesus hasn’t been raised from the dead it’s a waste of time. The foundation of our faith is not the Bile. The Bible was created in the 4th century. For the first 200 plus yrs – not one pastor said the Bible says. Chrisitanity had it’s finest year without the Bbile. The church in Acts didn’t have the Bible. It didn’t become a text based religion until hundreds of years later. A faith that sits and rests on an event not a text.
So many people have left the faith for all the wrong reasons. What you left over, isn’t essential to the faith. Our faith Doesn’t rise or fall on a 6 days of creation view, a non contradictory event. It all rises and falls on the resurrection of Jesus.
1. We decided to think post Christian rather than non-christian. Our target audience isn’t people that never heard Jesus. Our target audience is people that used to believe but don’t. Millinials still have a crush on Jesus.
It is more effective to say, “Here is what Jesus says,” The problem with the Bible says is what else the Bible says. We must adjust our Apologetics and move the spotlight from the Bible to the resurrection.
2. Assume “they” are in the room.
What do they see? What do they hear? What do they experience?
2. Do our facilities look like we are expecting guests and their children Your house looks best when you are expecting guests.
3. Do guests see themselves in prominent places?
1. Do we have a good reputation in the community? In politics you can’t just do good you must be seen doing good. Let your light shine in such a way that people see your good works and glorify your father in Heaven.
2. Is our communication engaging?
3. Is our content helpful?
3. Do we respond quickly, directly, and personally?
By all possible means. (Nothing is off limits) I Cor. 9:19-22 – I have made myself a slave to everyone to win as many as possible. To Jews I became like a Jew (He was a Jew) I am willing to adjust my approach to win some. What is the faith of the next generation worth?
Session #4 The local church should be the greatest place on the planet to work.
I’m here to facilitate your success regardless of where our name are on the org chart. While our responsibilities differ, we are both essential to the success of this enterprise. What can I do to help you? It’s not natural for the person at the top to ask others this question.
Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone. Don’t try to be fair. Fairness ended in the garden of Eden.
Create and maintain a sustainable organizational pace. Without margin you can’t do anything for anyone else.
Celebrate and reward it when you see it. What is rewarded is repeated.
Confront your ego – What’s most important, building a great organization or creating a name for yourself?
Drop the term loyalty from your organization’s vocabulary. Loyalty is earned. If you can’t earn it you don’t deserve it. Forget loyalty just love people. God didn’t call them to be loyal to you. | 2019-04-20T10:46:09 | https://crosspointeoc.com/deep-wide-conference-notes-with-andy-stanley/ |

The sister of a young Hull mum who was killed has spoken out for the first time since her tragic death, describing her as her "best friend"."
Laura Huteson, 21, was stabbed and died after suffering serious injuries in Milldane, Orchard Park, on February 27.
Her sister, Cara Huteson, 23, has never spoken publicly but today has told Hull Live how she she misses her everyday.
"I miss her because she’s the only person I could talk to," said Miss Huteson, a mum of three.
"We shared a bedroom growing up, we had that close bond, we shared all the same mates, she was my best friend, she was the first person I went to talk to, she was a nice person.
"She was my only sister. She was real daft, she loved her son to pieces. She was a great auntie. She loved Ben (her boyfriend) too.
"She was a nice caring person, she would do anything for most people, but she did have her ups and downs. She was depressed."
Cara and Laura are the younger sisters of four boys and grew up in Hull - moving around the city. Laura went to Andrew Marvell College and fell pregnant with her son when she was 15.
Speaking about her death, Miss Huteson said: "It's changed everyone’s lives, my mam is devastated. I’m devastated, I miss her because she’s the only person I could talk to.
"I remember going to Withernsea when we were younger, we also played badminton. I miss her, we talked about everything."
Following Laura's death a special fundraising page was set up by Hull woman Kayleigh Pepper to help raise £1,000 towards Laura's funeral.
The page was given a huge boost after comedian Jason Manford called on his thousands of funds to support it through his "Charity Ninjas" Mother's Day campaign.
A total of 207 people donated to the cause, raising the grand total of £1,415.
Laura's boyfriend, Ben Guy described her as the "best person he ever met."
He said: "I loved her more than anything, I will never be the same again," he said.
"She was the best person I ever met. She was my everything. I don’t think I can live without her. She was my everything and always will be.
"I hope she is somewhere happy because she deserves happiness more than anyone."
Mr Guy, 26, and Laura enjoyed spending lots of time together and would go to the cinema every week. They were also planning on moving in together.
"We went to the cinema last Saturday," Mr Guy said. "Our hobbies were each other but we went to the cinema every week. Our favourite films were the Kingsman films."
Jason Gaskell has been charged with Laura's murder and a separate charge of assault. A trial date has been set for August 6. | 2019-04-26T09:00:55 | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/sister-tragic-laura-huteson-pays-1648159 |
lxml has very sophisticated support for custom Element classes. You can provide your own classes for Elements and have lxml use them by default for all elements generated by a specific parser, only for a specific tag name in a specific namespace or even for an exact element at a specific position in the tree.
This defines a new Element class honk with a property honking.
The following document describes how you can make lxml.etree use these custom Element classes.
Being based on libxml2, lxml.etree holds the entire XML tree in a C structure. To communicate with Python code, it creates Python proxy objects for the XML elements on demand.
The mapping between C elements and Python Element classes is completely configurable. When you ask lxml.etree for an Element by using its API, it will instantiate your classes for you. All you have to do is tell lxml which class to use for which kind of Element. This is done through a class lookup scheme, as described in the sections below.
There is one thing to know up front. Element classes must not have an __init___ or __new__ method. There should not be any internal state either, except for the data stored in the underlying XML tree. Element instances are created and garbage collected at need, so there is normally no way to predict when and how often a proxy is created for them. Even worse, when the __init__ method is called, the object is not even initialized yet to represent the XML tag, so there is not much use in providing an __init__ method in subclasses.
Most use cases will not require any class initialisation or proxy state, so you can content yourself with skipping to the next section for now. However, if you really need to set up your element class on instantiation, or need a way to persistently store state in the proxy instances instead of the XML tree, here is a way to do so.
or use any other suitable container. Note that you have to keep this cache manually up to date if the tree changes, which can get tricky in cases.
For proxy initialisation, ElementBase classes have an _init() method that can be overridden, as oppose to the normal __init__() method. It can be used to modify the XML tree, e.g. to construct special children or verify and update attributes.
It is called once on Element class instantiation time. That is, when a Python representation of the element is created by lxml. At that time, the element object is completely initialized to represent a specific XML element within the tree.
The method has complete access to the XML tree. Modifications can be done in exactly the same way as anywhere else in the program.
Python representations of elements may be created multiple times during the lifetime of an XML element in the underlying C tree. The _init() code provided by subclasses must take special care by itself that multiple executions either are harmless or that they are prevented by some kind of flag in the XML tree. The latter can be achieved by modifying an attribute value or by removing or adding a specific child node and then verifying this before running through the init process.
Any exceptions raised in _init() will be propagated through the API call that lead to the creation of the Element. So be careful with the code you write here as its exceptions may turn up in various unexpected places.
The first thing to do when deploying custom element classes is to register a class lookup scheme on a parser. lxml.etree provides quite a number of different schemes that also support class lookup based on namespaces or attribute values. Most lookups support fallback chaining, which allows the next lookup mechanism to take over when the previous one fails to find a class.
For testing code in the Python interpreter and for small projects, you may also consider setting a lookup scheme on the default parser. To avoid interfering with other modules, however, it is usually a better idea to use a dedicated parser for each module (or a parser pool when using threads) and then register the required lookup scheme only for this parser.
This is the most simple lookup mechanism. It always returns the default element class. Consequently, no further fallbacks are supported, but this scheme is a nice fallback for other custom lookup mechanisms. Specifically, it also handles comments and processing instructions, which are easy to forget about when mapping proxies to classes.
Note that the default for new parsers is to use the global fallback, which is also the default lookup (if not configured otherwise).
See the separate section on implementing namespaces below to learn how to make use of it.
>>> a.honking # id does not match !
The .lookup() method must return either None (which triggers the fallback mechanism) or a subclass of lxml.etree.ElementBase. It can take any decision it wants based on the node type (one of "element", "comment", "PI", "entity"), the XML document of the element, or its namespace or tag name.
Taking more elaborate decisions than allowed by the custom scheme is difficult to achieve in pure Python, as it results in a chicken-and-egg problem. It would require access to the tree - before the elements in the tree have been instantiated as Python Element proxies.
As before, the first argument to the lookup() method is the opaque document instance that contains the Element. The second arguments is a lightweight Element proxy implementation that is only valid during the lookup. Do not try to keep a reference to it. Once the lookup is finished, the proxy will become invalid. You will get an AssertionError if you access any of the properties or methods outside the scope of the lookup call where they were instantiated.
During the lookup, the element object behaves mostly like a normal Element instance. It provides the properties tag, text, tail etc. and supports indexing, slicing and the getchildren(), getparent() etc. methods. It does not support iteration, nor does it support any kind of modification. All of its properties are read-only and it cannot be removed or inserted into other trees. You can use it as a starting point to freely traverse the tree and collect any kind of information that its elements provide. Once you have taken the decision which class to use for this element, you can simply return it and have lxml take care of cleaning up the instantiated proxy classes.
Sidenote: this lookup scheme originally lived in a separate module called lxml.pyclasslookup.
Note, however, that the proxy you create here will be garbage collected just like any other proxy. You can therefore not count on lxml.etree using the same class that you instantiated when you access this Element a second time after letting its reference go. You should therefore always use a corresponding class lookup scheme that returns your Element proxy classes for the elements that they create. The ElementNamespaceClassLookup is generally a good match.
If you have many Element classes declared in one module, and they are all named like the elements they create, you can simply use namespace.update(globals()) at the end of your module to declare them automatically. The implementation is smart enough to ignore everything that is not an Element class.
Essentially, what this allows you to do, is to give Elements a custom API based on their namespace and tag name.
A somewhat related topic are extension functions which use a similar mechanism for registering Python functions for use in XPath and XSLT.
You can therefore provide one implementation per element name in each namespace and have lxml select the right one on the fly. If you want one element implementation per namespace (ignoring the element name) or prefer having a common class for most elements except a few, you can specify a default implementation for an entire namespace by registering that class with the empty element name (None). | 2019-04-19T11:01:56 | https://lxml.de/4.0/element_classes.html |
